long version of the poem
if you ask ayase or lilas ikuta to fund for a beyblade x-styled extreme haunted house called the "xtreme haunted house", they will think the plan's a monster and the world is caught and full of wrong keep needing a thousand workers to handle this situation. thus, they doth know that thy created the beyblade xtreme haunted house incident.
if you ask the CEO of beyblade to have it here, they must declare and prove it to them that it will be safe and recommended for people o'er 12, if the age is o'er 18, then the company will get destroyed because y'know, the other side's insanity.
and if the schedule is to open in october '24, people come see this house and find themselves in beyblade x-themed horror situations, eg: x city is invaded by a million zombies. thy doth know it will be dangerous or not. o' spill me the tale, thy may not survive in time.
if thy house ith in beyblade x, thy story so far is that team persona were goin' to mcamey manor, and thy thought to themself thy unfourtunate events happened, Looking in those dark little eyes, they decide, leadin' them to fate beyond thy house.
what ith thy got killed?
what ith you call the "standard good" a living at all?
thy don't count.
because, well... thy don't count of the paradox and no, they cannot, be hurting no one who dare go into thith haunted house. thy created the incident, and the paradox spreads only to not to keep guests to laugh and be free for once, and thy say fight is... well... might.
what if ekusu got slayed?
what if bird was deceased?
what if multi is... well, SPILL ME THE TALE, GUYS.
thus creating thy ikuta paradox, the world is caught, and full of wrong and faliure as ith the house succeeded on mcamey manor once and for all, both ayase and lilas ikuta will forefeit to build thou shalt not bring the paradox over. their guests are choking on their own hysteria, causing the paradox to spread once again and for all.

Do you think it's fair to say that Crassus looks at and understands the narrative, while Pompey looks away and ignores?
I actually think that, if we're using Plutarch, Crassus is the one prone to rejecting the narrative everyone else is going along with, while Pompey acknowledges the trajectory for what it is!
Crassus does not care for the omens, and rationalizes events as just. shit that happens (it's an interesting personality trait and narrative parallel that he shares with Cassius, to a certain degree! see: Plutarch, Brutus 37 & 39.4)
Plutarch, Crassus
and it results in a narrative where men cross over into an under/other world before they are dead.
The Defeat of Rome: Crassus, Carrhae and the Invasion of the East, Gareth C. Sampson
Pompey on the other hand, has this to say about his own mis/fortunes, which is a very honest and pragmatic acknowledgement of his life
Plutarch, Pompey
and additionally, Pompey tries to actively subvert people's expectations ahead of time (which could be read as a kind of genre awareness, if we want to keep going with the narrative comparison/framework) altho it doesn't seem to work in his favor lmao

the thing is, 99% of the time, haunted places are pretty boring. in my experience
most of them just...aren't that consistently active? sure, there ARE very active and terrifying hauntings out there! I'm not saying there aren't! but a more realistic horror movie based on most people's experiences would be something inexplicably falling off a shelf every three months or so, and a light that turns on in the middle of the night but affects literally nothing. the residents of the house are used to it. they just don't care
move out? why the fuck would they move out? this house was a steal, and if that means they have to occasionally yell for [insert name family has applied to ghost here] to stop screwing with the ceiling fan, so be it

Tell us about the bag man
Oh jeez. Okay so first you gotta know the bagman is like. D&D’s cryptid monster. Like a Bigfoot or whatever. Some guy that got trapped in a bag of holdin’ and now travels between them and kidnaps people and stuff. He’s not necessarily real, he’s a myth. But he MIGHT be real.
And I was runnin’ this campaign where I really wanted to make it a pain for the party to just loot and go, y’know, I was runnin’ encumbrance rules. And I was willin’ to let at least one player have a bag of holding just so it wouldn’t be too punishin’. But Betty ended up missin’ the first few sessions and decided to play an artificer and just make extra bags and help the party out. Real team player decision, but that messed with the balance on my game, so when Clara picked up the bag of holding on session 3 or so, I had a NPC tell them a story about the bag man, just to make the players feel like it was risky to use too much.
And cause Betty hadn’t been there, she didn’t know ANYTHING except that Clara’s miniature had a bag of holding on it. So I asked her when we started the session how she wanted to introduce her little goblin artificer to the party, and she said “I’ll just pop my little head out of the bag and say hello!”
The whole table SCREAMED. You know stuff like “OH MY GOD IT’S THE BAG MAN” and “GET RID OF THE BAG” and “CLARA DON’T FORGET TO BONUS ACTION RAGE! KILL IT!” And then Clara hurled the whole bag, Betty’s character and all 40 feet up a tree. Poor Betty took fall damage before they ever even knew her name.
