Amidst the food and game stalls bustling with activity, a sizable one captures your curiosity. In it, you see Vontell strenuously squeezing a very large bundle of red strings into a box with the help of Leo who made sure no strings strayed from the bundle. From the look of materials haphazardly tucked away here and there, preparations seemed to have been underway for quite some time. While fixing it up, he notices your approach and acknowledges you with a brief nod.
“Ah, greetings…as you can see, I am currently occupied with finishing preparations for this game. Oh, but worry not! I should be done soon…” You see a circular opening on top of the box, big enough for one hand to fit in but dark enough to obscure the inside from view. The bundle of strings extends from another opening on the back of the box to the wooden wall behind Vontell, each string attached to a numbered chime nailed to the wall. As you take note of the sheer number of prizes up for grabs, Vontell clears his throat and continues.
“There are those that might say that fate is a fickle mistress, one nearly impossible to grasp…but today is a completely different story!” With a flourish, he gestures towards the box prominently displayed in front of him. “I present to you, my dear Volties, a chance to take hold of the ever-fleeting strings of fate! Doing so is as simple as reaching in and seeing where it leads!” He proclaims, pointing at the bundle of strings leading towards the chimes. Upon closer inspection, you see that they are numbered from 1 to 50.
And so, Vontell and Leo take their places, each to one side of the box, expectantly eyeing you and a slowly growing crowd of interested participants.
