Ascension Address: A Mostly Empty Playground
A plastic bag is caught in the weeds that grow from the cracks in the concrete play surface. In the distance, you hear the creaking of a chain as the chilly breeze blows a swing back and forth. There’s a few other children here, but mostly the place is desolate. The oldest one gestures for you to come over.
“Wanna play a game?” he asks. “Yeah, I know it looks like we don’t have enough kids for a game. But let me tell you a secret.”
He leans in, conspiratorially. When you’re eight years old, you hope you’ll be half as cool as him. “We all have imaginary friends, right? They can play too. No, it’s not dumb. It’s cool. And then we’ll have enough to play a game. C’mon, do you want to play or not?”
Change “Clerk” to “Child”, “Clerks” to “Children”, and “Director” to “Oldest Child”.

Ascension
RaichuKFM proposed a victory-creating Coup Coup bird which attracted support from other players and a few imaginary friends, and "By default, an Imaginary Friend is Best Friends with the Child who proposed the proposal that created the Imaginary Friend". RaichuKFM then used it to win.
