APRIL FOOLS — Week 1 System: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying Game — The Old World Story: What Still Counts as a Rule

(Caelwyn & Stacy — Dialogue)
Stacy:
“The rule changed.”
Caelwyn:
“No.”
Stacy:
“No?”
Caelwyn:
“The rule moved.”
Stacy:
“That is the same.”
Caelwyn:
“No.”
Stacy:
“Then explain.”
Caelwyn:
“If a rule changes, people notice.”
“If it moves, they fail first.”
Stacy:
“That is unpleasant.”
Caelwyn:
“Yes.”
Stacy:
“The children in the square touched the wall and called it safe.”
Caelwyn:
“Yes.”
Stacy:
“Then the others laughed and said the wall no longer counted.”
Caelwyn:
“Yes.”
Stacy:
“And everyone accepted it.”
Caelwyn:
“Yes.”
Stacy:
“That is cheating.”
Caelwyn:
“No.”
Stacy:
“No?”
Caelwyn:
“Cheating still respects the rule.”
Stacy:
“And this did not.”
Caelwyn:
“No.”
Stacy:
“The merchant did the same.”
Caelwyn:
“With the weights.”
Stacy:
“Yes.”
Caelwyn:
“I heard.”
Stacy:
“He changed the stone in public.”
Caelwyn:
“Yes.”
Stacy:
“And people still bought from him.”
Caelwyn:
“Yes.”
Stacy:
“Why?”
Caelwyn:
“Because falsehood sounded playful.”
Stacy:
“That should not be enough.”
Caelwyn:
“It usually is.”
Stacy:
“A joke should remain a joke.”
Caelwyn:
“At first.”
Stacy:
“And after?”
Caelwyn:
“A habit.”
Stacy:
“And after that?”
Caelwyn:
“A custom.”
Stacy:
“And then?”
Caelwyn:
“A truth.”
(Silence)
Stacy:
“That is obscene.”
Caelwyn:
“Yes.”
Stacy:
“Then what still counts as a rule?”
(Pause)
Caelwyn:
“Only the one someone is still willing to defend after the laughter.”
