Haiku Continued
Really quite a simple game
Here is what you do:

Here is what you do
The last line from one haiku
Is first for the next

Is first for the next?
Yes, and one to three haiku
Per post you may make

Per post you may make
But there's four here already
Yes there are four now

Yes there are four now
I am just explaining things
You know, how it goes

You know how it goes
Five syllables, then seven
Then five once again

Then five once again
As we pick up for the next
And so, we begin!

Behavior:

► Show Spoiler

Wait for two others to post
Between your haiku

Or alternately
Wait for twenty-four hours
Of no one posting

Even then, patience
May be the prudent action
Haiku can take time

Adventure rules:

► Show Spoiler

So this time we start this as an adventure,
that is, the things in the Haiku must fit into a bigger "picture"

I'll start the game off with a "Setting"
Others add to the setting, when someone feels that is enough of setting they move on to the "main character" others add to that and then maybe some "Trigger/hook" and so on.
But the change must be announced at the end of a players turn!
Example

Player one: SETTING
long time ago in a far of realm
where magic was part of every day

Player two: SETTING
dragons roamed the sky
and unicorns ruled the meadows

Player Three: SETTING
here we find a small hut
in the middle of a forest
GO TO CHARACTER

Player four: CHARACTER
in the hut lived a girl named May
she was an adventures one
but never had she ventured outside the forest

player five: CHARACTER
this was where all she knew was,
where she ran barefoot and hunted rabbits
GO TO HOOK

player six: HOOK!
but one day on her hunt.....

and so on... BUT in haiku!
