Day 2: Monster Arrival
Afternoon: 12:00noon - Evening
[ IRL Timeframe: April 1st - April 14th, 2019 ]Unfortunately for the heroes, only one of them has an easy time when the monsters arrive. In the history of the wizard fights, it was rare but not unheard of for multiple monsters to arrive. Years 12, 22, and 30 had featured three of a monster but only one was real. Year 9 had featured the tenth monster as ten individuals that all came together into one. And, most strangely, years 4, 13, 26, and 37 had featured a monster that had an active and an inactive body.
This year, the second monster appears in two places.
The first arrives in Craydon, its massive body just a ball of metallic spikes with two bright orange eyes in the middle. It looks like a massive urchin, its body easily close to ten feet across where it's sitting on the train tracks ahead of the train arriving. Its spikes stick out easily another ten feet in every direction, making it a gigantic terrifying ball. The party train's arrival to its 12:25pm destination ends with the conductor locking up the brakes to bring the train to a stop. This sucks!
The second arrives in Bamborough, its massive body easily sixty feet up in the air suspended atop dozens of small, thin metallic spikes for legs. Its two orange eyes scan down at the world below, its spherical body covered in smaller spike nubs on all other sides. The eyes aren't fixed in place, either, and they're scanning the oceanfront as it moves around. It's definitely looking for something and it's visible for miles. Good luck, everyone!
Monster Fight Opportunity: Bamborough: Haizea, Seth, Garrot, Gail, Zafika, Terrence, Matilda.
The Weather
- Windy.
- 61°F / 16°C
- The trees are rustling, leaves flowing through the air.
Prompts:
- 12:25pm Train Arrival: The party train comes to its final destination in Craydon at 12:25pm. The reason that it's a final destination is due to the monster on the tracks. Oh god, it's right there? Oh god, oh GOD??? When the train comes to a screeching halt, all the non-heroes quickly scamper out of the train to flee for safety. Good luck, heroes!
- 12:30pm, Ramen, Far Haven: Social Media is abuzz that the Wizard has left the power plant and has gone to one of the chain ramen restaurants in Far Haven. The restaurant is known for its decent ramen, but everyone knows it can't compare to the local shops around the island. This is the "I just want to eat" ramen restaurant. But more importantly, this one has some sports bar qualities and has TVs up on the walls to watch. The Wizard is here, seated close to one of the TVs, and she's watching the events unfolding in Craydon and Bamborough. How is she doing that? Who's recording?
- 12:30pm, The Bamborough Monster: Out on the waterfront boardwalk, the monster is lumbering its way along the wooden walkways seemingly in search of something. The few shops that were open are closing up as quickly as possible, the last thing they need is their already minimal business ruined by a visit from this monster. Please, someone come help.
- ??:??pm: Unknown What happens next?

"You came to find me, Tiger knight." She answers, she didn't mess with anyone.
"Do you want to go fight?"
no subject
Aaand she's out of the door with a slam, and starts running although it's a bit of a struggle. Then she gets an idea.
"Hey, Sefaq! Could I get a ride, please? Running is a little hard right now and I need to get to the monster fast!"
It's a long shot, but the tigress is big enough to be ridden, so... maybe?
And maybe she should call one of her allies about the monster's exact whereabouts... All her brief glance at the screen told her is it's on the train tracks somewhere.
no subject
Sefaq's quick to respond and, though it isn't exactly the most dignified solution it's a fast solution as she manifests into existence already beneath Rory. A few moments later she's sprinting, up to maximum speed as she starts making her way to the train tracks. They'd be the fastest path to follow to either city.
"Craydon, or Bamborough?"
no subject
There's a job to do, though, and the details are a bit muddy."Craydon? I think??" she sputters, trying her best to sound confident. Maybe next time she should pick up all the information she can before storming out like that.
Thankfully there's a perfect person to call for the info she needs: The Princess. She digs out her phone from one of her pouches, and dials Luka up.
no subject
When Rory says Craydon, Sefaq takes a sharp turn onto the tracks and, somehow, sprints even faster. Hold on tight, Rory! Sefaq's running like she's done this before, on this exact path, many times before. She's tackled navigating this island for the past 39 years, it's a cakewalk for her now.
Hopefully Luka doesn't mind the sound of rushing wind past Rory's phone because Sefaq's not slowing down in her sprint.
no subject
"Luka speaking," he says as he answers the phone, his voice professional and calm despite the urgency of the situation. "What's up?"
no subject
"Hey Luka!" she greets him once she's caught her breath that almost got left behind for a second there. "Sorry about that! I'm riding a tiger! I heard about the monster, I'm on my way to Craydon right now. Is that where you are?"

She lifts the phone off her ear, but given her volume Luka will probably overhear her question. ”What do you think, Sefaq?”
no subject
no subject
Rory's seriously underestimating Sefaq's ability to sprint. More importantly, Sefaq isn't just any old tiger. She's magic, and this is magic. She doesn't look away from the tracks as she runs and answers:
"Thirty minutes."
All things considered, 90mph/145kmh is a pretty terrifying speed to be going at on the back of a magic tiger. Rory's hair is going to be a disaster.
no subject
"You can halve that!" Rory says after pulling the phone back to her ear. "I think I ought to put the phone away now, though, looks like we're going to go really fast! See you at the monster! I hope Olivia will be alright!"
She's going to need both hands to grab onto Sefaq for her dear life.
