Day 1: Monster Arrival
Afternoon: 12:00pm - Onward
[ IRL Timeframe: February 24th - March 10th, 2019 ]Everything changes when the Wizard wishes it to. In an instant, every non-knight, non-princess person in attendance at the Craydon welcoming party disappears. She knows where they went, she teleported them, but that doesn't mean she's telling the knights. The only indication she gives that she did anything is that she walks towards the door to leave. If anyone moves to get in her way, she'll just teleport to the other side of them. If anyone tries to attack her, their weapon'll just turn to sparkles.
If this were a video game, the stressful music would be playing now. The Princess, Luka, is treated to something to add to the stress. The protector finally makes his appearance but only to him and only in his head. He's the same height as Luka with dark skin and vivid blue eyes that match the color of the sky. He has wicked winged white eyeliner to accent his eyes and curly black hair with white tips piled on top of his head, it's a wonder how it stays up there. Surprisingly, or unsurprisingly, he's wearing a pajama robe that looks either blue or silver depending how it's touched or how it moves. Most importantly is that he's got brass knuckles on both his hands, like he's ready to fight. But he's not here to fight, he's here to give a whisper about what comes next.
"The monster is here." Comes his voice, pointing Luka to just outside the Craydon multipurpose center. The pull towards the monster is persistent and it won't let up until it's defeated.
Outside is, to everyone's surprise (except perhaps Luka), the first monster. It looks like a yellow ball with an eye in the middle, standing four feet high and four feet wide with an eye that's almost that big too. It's standing on two feet and appears to have no arms whatsoever. It blinks curiously at the approaching princess-knight team and then blinks up at the Wizard beside it...
The Wizard is standing beside the first monster, holding her hand out as her massive hammer manifests in her hand. The hammer's handle flickers into existence and ends up beind close to seven feet long before the head of the hammer pops into existence. It's a massive beast of a weapon, easily the size of a refrigerator attached to the end of the pole with slightly bigger ends for where she hits things with it. Just below where the handle connects is a pair of flowing wings that seem to be extended out to support the head of the hammer, the end tip has a single metal feather dangling off of it. The head of the hammer curves slightly inward away from the ends but mostly it's just a giant rectangular block of bashing.
"Fore." The Wizard says with this awful amusement before she swings her hammer like a golf club down at the monster, acting like she's going to send it flying into the princess-knight team like a cannonball. When her hammer impacts the monster, it flickers slightly and pops like fireworks. Within sight but still rather far away, the first monster flickers and blips back into existence on the road, blinks, and then runs off into the woods. Catch this little buddy if you can!
The Weather
- Sunny.
- 70°F / 21°C
- Quite breezy, all the trees are rustling.
Prompts:
- The monster!! GET IT: Who needs a plan? You run off immediately, sprinting after the monster as it bounds off into the woods. Characters who choose this option are free to catch the monster numerous times and deal attacks to it. However they will be unable to defeat the monster in any of these prompts. The monster's priority in this is to escape and it will not attack back. But what were those sparkles? What's going on? Feel free to do team-threads together in pursuit of the monster.
- The monster!! We need a PLAN!: Since you didn't run off, you and your fellow knights, the princess, and the Wizard are now standing outside of the Craydon multipurpose center. Though the Wizard is just going to go back inside to get crackers with cheese and meat on top. What will you do with your companions? Will you confront the Wizard? What kind of plan will you come up with for what just happened?
- The gear train: Wether you saw the locals posting pictures on social media or you worked with Luka's new ability to find the monster, it's taken up sitting on top of the gear train as it makes its way up and down the mountain town of Craydon. It doesn't move very fast but it is a hazard and, perhaps, even more of one because the Monster is involved. The first monster is contentedly sitting on top of the train car, staring up towards the sky. What will you do about that? The monster can be severely injured in this thread but cannot be killed.
- The showdown: There are trails of, and pools of, yellow ?blood? trailing throughout Craydon from the injuries that the first monster has sustained. The knights have been relentless in pursuing it through the forest and on the train and now it's come to a stop in the center of the train station at the base of Craydon. This train station is home to the last stop on the gear train upstairs and the transfer point for the Harsen Island train station downstairs. The first monster clearly isn't getting on board to go to Bamborough or Far Haven, but it's absolutely standing on the platform waiting for a fight. It's the final showdown!

They decide to take advantage of the puncture wound left by Gyre's arrow, and quickly aim a stab to the exact location, with all the plans to make the injury even worse.
[ Zafika tries to stab the monster in the wound it suffered from Gyre's arrow, and plans to cut downward with their dagger to make the wound longer if they hit. ]
no subject
Suddenly on their right emerges Gail, really fast. He has had very awful time ever since the monster appeared. In his panic his first instinct was to run and so run he did. It just happened to be the time his knight power manifested, which ended up being super speed. Poor Gail has been running around this island Fast and with no idea how to stop four legs. And now there's a monster in front of him and the collide is imminent.
[Gail collides with full force with the monster]
no subject
And that sucked.
It also sucked that it couldn't see. It couldn't hear. It had no hands.
Zafika encounters no difficulty in advancing and stabbing the first monster, but the attempt to drag the blade downward ends in failure as the monster flickers and sparkles before disappearing once more. Instead of appearing far, far away it appears mere feet away from Zafika. The blade falls out of the bigger wound, followed by a gush of blood.
Before it can even think about running, it picks up on the rumbling of the ground beneath its feet and prepares to roll out of the way-
But a hoof slams full force into the center of its mass and its body bursts like a bag of soup getting impaled by a jousting spear. Yellow liquid splatters upward, coating Gail in this awful substance that's about as thick as pudding. Zafika's more unlucky because the forward momentum of the impact sends a wave of yellow monster blood splattering all over them.
[ The first monster has been defeated. ]
[ Ew, please take a shower. ]
Somewhere, floating idly in the sky, the Wizard looks on and smirks.

“Ugh, it smells so weird!”

They wipe as much of the blood off from their face as possible so they can see what the hell is going on and, oh, oh poor Gail is covered in blood too. Seems like he stomped on the monster. For now though, their priority is finding their dagger and to clean it from the blood so Muraj can make it disappear without getting dirty himself. Time to find the dagger from this pool of slimy blood.
no subject
This day had been, so bad lately and he was having a very bad time. He wanted to go home.

He definitely doesn't look okay, the exact opposite of that, but it's at least polite to confirm his wellbeing, and he did just stomp the monster to death. And fell face first into the gross remains of the said monster too.
no subject
"Here buddy, lemme give you a hand, let's get you out of this crap," she says, squatting down and extending a hand towards Gail. She REALLY wishes all this monster blood wasn't all over the place.
Anyone observant just might notice that some rain clouds are quickly starting to form fairly low in the sky overhead............
no subject
"Ah! I'm fine! Thank you!!! Just, this goop or whatever is really gross! And I kinda want a shower!!"
no subject
"Yeah this goop is, not fun. We both are in a desperate need for a shower-"
no subject
"Yeah a shower seems like a good idea for everyone, I wonder where the closest-" her words break off as quite suddenly- too suddenly?- the sky opens up and a torrential rainfall starts falling on an area fairly larger than the train station.
"... What the fuck?"
no subject
Uh.
Well.
At least they won!
"Sp-splendid... Huff... Everyone is... Wheeze... Alright, yes..?"
