Last round of the emerging story of the subterranean Inner World suggested two warring factions, including one guided by Nazis! The tile-formed words also hinted that a royal wedding could end the fighting. The oracle dice confirmed this, stating that:
Yes, the marriage is part of a truce between warring factions, but the bride's (or groom’s?) people were never truly threatened by the Nazi-influenced kingdom.
Seven more tiles drawn to fill the hand back to ten, and then another round of word-building. If I were playing Scrabble, I could have racked up an impressive score on a longer word. Generating story connections by hitting the desired colored squares and then triggering an oracle question, have me laying down three short words instead: MOON, ODE, and ACE.
It's coming together! This shows how the entire story can morph and how it's OK to jettison big portions of previous ideas. Look at it as if from a character's limited perspective… maybe the previous brainstorming reflects what appeared to be going on, but then more is revealed.
The Japanese vessel that disappeared long ago into the Inner World was not a submarine but a MOON-rocket (more of a spaceplane maybe?). Originally designed for peaceful purposes (Goal), the rocket's development was hijacked to support the war effort. The NAZI who advises the primitive kingdom was not a scientist but a test pilot, part of a two-person crew with a Japanese ACE fighter pilot turned test pilot. Their test flight ended in the Inner World, with the German surviving. Did the Japanese pilot live? Unknown, but the cryptic Haiku (ODE) he left holds the interest of more than one character (Connection).
Why have we never heard of Japan's WWII-era moon ambitions before, or since? I'd say this points to a unique vessel; perhaps the HULL of the rocket utilized one-of-a-kind alloys and/or a special propulsion system…
3rd Question: Did Japan receive help from the Inner World to build their World War II rocketship?
Result: 3 "No, but…"
No, Japanese scientists did not receive help from the Inner World to build the rocket, but they did reverse-engineer a wreck of an Inner World craft!
The story’s getting more focused but no less weird. Stay tuned…
