Day 1: Evening

[wizardseason]

Evening: 5:00pm - Midnight

[ IRL Timeframe: March 11th - March 18th, 2019 ]

The first day has come to a close, the only things left to do are get some food and get some rest. Fortunately the residents of Bamborough are hosting a party to congratulate the heroes on their first victory, unfortunately it's running for several hours this evening. There's only so much time for sleep. What kind of balance will your hero try to strike?

Unfortunately for everyone, the evil-allured knights will be treated to a rude wake-up surprise when they finally go to sleep. No matter when they finally set their head down to rest, they all wake up at the same time, in the same place. Only the evil-allured knights will have access to this post, click to see if you've been chosen.

The good-allured knights, meanwhile, are free of a visit tonight with the Princess and the Protector. The two of them, however, are due to have a chat. Questions have to be answered, after all! He's dressed in his usual attire:

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.

First Night Event: Bamborough: Everyone invited.

The Weather

• Starry Night.
• 64°F / 18°C
• Quite breezy, all the trees are rustling.

---

Prompts:

• Bamborough Party: To celebrate the defeat of the first monster, a full banquet is being held near the beach in Bamborough. Unlimited food, unlimited drinks, and most importantly of all was a small stockpile of blankets, sheets, pillows, and toiletries to offer any knight who might've forgotten something on the way out here. Naturally, every item is sponsored.


• You're all over Social Media!: Videos were successfully taken of all twelve knights and the princess during the first battle, and now the world is abuzz about what happened! What are they saying about your hero? How did they even get this footage? Or worst of all, how bad are they dissing your camera skills for those that recorded themselves?


• A late night walk: The first day is over, the first monster is dead. How's your character holding up? Do they seek out support from a fellow hero? Do they spend it alone? What kind of night are they having now that it's all real?


• A late night meal: Anyone leaving the Bamborough party late enough will be able to spot that a local late night ramen shop is open for business. If your hero hasn't quite eaten enough, they can drop by for a bite. But be warned, a certain sleepy villain is getting a bite to eat herself. Care to share a ramen bar meal with the enemy?

Comments

[roaryrory]

She's a little taken aback by the dissonance between his appearance and the text-to-speech voice before she registers what's being said. Hearing someone congratulate her on something she had started doubting the importance of held more importance to her than she could have guessed. Her giddiness is evident in her body language as she responds. "Oh, wow, thanks! So you saw?" Right, Garrot had his animal companion streaming the whole thing. She hopes she looked cool on camera...

She smiles brightly at the mention of Zafika, too. "You're friends with them, too? They were my first friend here! They're so nice."

[silentwords]

Seth gives a little smile, nodding.
"Yeah I was watching it from my phone. And yeah, I'm...really happy to be their friend. They're really nice."

[roaryrory]

"I'm glad they think I'm nice, too! I'd like to think I am. At least I try to be."

She leans forward a bit, curious. "How did it look? The chase?"

[silentwords]

Seth ponders a bit on how to answer.
"It was...well it looked something straight up out of a cartoon I guess? It was pretty cool. Makes me feel bad about having been pretty useless."

[roaryrory]

"Don't say that! All knights are important!"

This does remind her she doesn't know what everyone else was doing while the chase was going on. "I guess you guys did more planning than we did, huh?"

[silentwords]

Seth actually winces a little. Yeah he'd been real helpful in the whole planning thing.

"I mean I guess...I just either made things awkward and more tense, before just...retreating to a corner..."

[roaryrory]

"Oh..."

She looks down, thinking of something comforting to say. "Well, the monster's down and that's all that matters, right? We can do better next time!"

Maybe if she keeps saying that, she will feel better about her own failures as well.

[silentwords]

Seth scratched his cheek, nodding, albeit just barely.

"I guess...if the others will have anything to do with me after that at least..."
Yeah even though Zafika had reassured him he was still pretty nervous about that.

[roaryrory]

Rory huffs, looking peeved at the mere suggestion they wouldn't. "Well, you're a knight too! We're saving the world here, we can't just... go and exclude anyone from it!"

[silentwords]

Seth sighed.

"That's what I've tried to tell myself too but...well truth be told I'm myself not looking forward to talking again with the Princess."

[roaryrory]

Ohhhh, Seth had had an argument with Luka. Ouch, yeah, Rory can see why that would make him nervous. The Princess is important. "I don't think you need to worry about that," she says though. "Truth be told, I'm one of the good knights! So, if you need me to talk to Luka, I totally can. He should trust my word!"

[silentwords]

Seth blinks a little bit in surprise before giving Rory a small smile.
Zafika had definitely been right about her.

"I...thank you."

[roaryrory]

"No problem! And if there's anything else I can help you with, just let me know," she says with a warm smile. "A friend of my friend is my friend too! And we're in this together."

[silentwords]

It's like the statement of Rory considering him her friend set something off in Seth, a smile coming onto his face, sort of beaming.

"Yeah- Yeah! We're friends!"
