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

[silentwords]

A meme that Seth could honestly appreciate. He could absolutely approve of the memefication of Gail stomping the first monster to death, though he figured he probably would want to say that to Gail.

Scrolling down for a while longer, he skims through comments until...
He finds a few pictures and videos of when he was curled up in the corner during the Craydon party trying and failing not to cry as his anxiety just swallowed him.

Why would anyone take pictures or film that?!

Worst of all there were several comments critizing him doing that and going on about how he should have had time to prepare.
Welp, time to go rant on twitter again he supposed.

Skimming through the images, clips, and descriptions gives her more insights into the other knights' behavior than she likes, and more (distant, grainy) shots of the fight than she'd seen for herself... But there's no signs yet of the organized advice from those who've gone through this before that she could hope for.

Joanna finally takes a shuddering breath, turns the phone to sleepmode, and shoves it in her bag.

It's not as satisfying as rapidly clapping shut a flip phone, but that's one of the downsides of the corporate sponsorship-supplied devices. Giving the knights a means to coordinate with each other is also a chance to show off the newest, hottest tech in a venue where many people will be paying attention. Either it pays off, because the knights triumph and the phone's associated with their victory, or... it doesn't matter either way.

She rests her hands on the bag, pressing it closed to resist the temptation to continue browsing, and sighs again.

Meanwhile Seth has been firmly pulled into doing what he so often did to release stress and negative emotions.

By typing furiously on his phone and ranting on the internet.
You could legimately hear the sound of him tapping his fingers on the touch screen of the phone.

He himself kept the sponsored phone around...but generally just used his own since...it was actually better and he's customed the screens and what not to suit his needs. Such as having the text-to-speech feature just a touch away.

He's be grunting in anger if he wasn't mute, but as he was, he had to settle for tsking in anger and rapidly tapping his foot against the floor.
