Day 2: Evening

Evening: 5:00pm - Midnight

[ IRL Timeframe: April 14th - April 22nd, 2019 ]

Unfortunately for everyone, the second day's events are far less rewarding than the first day's. Now that things are starting to get real, there are consequences for what's taken place. Both monsters caused a bit of damage and a mess with their departure, but the locals on the island are trying to stay positive. Sometimes things just get messy, they've dealt with this for forty years it's fine.

But the heroes are sure to have a lot on their mind. Injuries mean it's less of a game and more likely to sink in as real. How will your hero cope tonight? The Princess and her two knights are due for a rendezvous with the Protector and, on the other hand, there are some evil-allured knights due for some private time with the Wizard. What will come of that?



The Weather

  • Still.
  • 61°F / 16°C
  • An eerie calm has fallen over the island.


Prompts:

  • 05:00pm Clean-up Crews: Both Bamborough and Craydon were left with big neon-green splashes of blood that aren't going to just wash off. Numerous locals in both areas are hard at work cleaning up after the second monsters, scrubbing at buildings and assessing the damage to the island. In Bamborough, the locals are hard at work trying to salvage the damage to the boardwalk or put up caution tape around the destroyed areas. Is your hero lending a hand in all this? Is someone else helping? Bond over picking up the pieces, but hey... it could be worse, right?

  • 5:30pm, Craydon: Despite being largely untouched by the monster's arrival, the citizens of Craydon have dropped by the train station to check in on the heroes. Anyone in the area will be given a small care package of items and offered a free coupon for any restaurant in the area. Will your hero go alone and run into someone who was craving the same food they were, or will they team up with their fellow heroes to drop by a restaurant together? Everyone needs to unwind, after all!

  • 5:30pm, Bamborough: Despite the boardwalk damage, the Bamborough oceanfront diner is offering 'monster margaritas' tonight. They're set up as an open-air bar tonight, doors and windows open to let in the cool sea air. Every hero gets their first monster margarita free if they can stomach the bright green color, and they've got deep fried bar foods for half off. Come in, indulge, have a drink to get your mind off of the events of the day, heroes!

  • 5:30pm, Far Haven: The Far Haven clinic has advertised that its doors are open to any hero injured, or just in need of a check-up, for the rest of the evening. They want to check in on all the heroes and make sure they're okay. Did your hero come alone and run into someone here? Or did they come together to get stitched up? Or maybe they just need to be reassured that everything will be okay.

  • 8:30pm, 9:05pm, 9:40pm, Train station(s): As always, Social media is incredibly quick to report Wizard appearances. At 8:00pm they report that the Wizard is waiting for the train in Bamborough station. She does, in fact, board the train at 8:30pm and they start theorizing where her destination is. Social media points out that her train will be arriving in Craydon at 9:05pm, then it will get to Far Haven by 9:40pm. If a hero tries to find her when the train arrives back in the Bamborough station at 10:15pm, though, the train will be empty. Where will your hero find her? Bamborough between 8 and 8:30pm? On the train in Craydon at 9:05pm? Or when she disembarks in Far Haven at 9:40pm?

"Two! Holy cow!" Matilda yelps, because wherever Garrot's yelling, Matilda's probably going to be yelling somewhere nearby too. "Come on, that's no fair about the tab! Split it with me!" Being wealthy's like, the only thing she has going for her. He can't take her thunder like that. She trades the bartender her empty glass for a new monster margarita, her entire complexion already reddened from the drink, and she's a little louder than she usually is-- and assertive! Look at that!

"MATILDA HAMILTON!" Her name is bellowed, loud and proud and excited, and Garrot announces her presence like she's at a celebrity gala and not a beachfront bar. He's glad she's safe, glad she's in such a good mood, too! But then his attention pivots to the poor bartender, though thankfully his volume gets a lot more reasonable. "If the fine lady wants to split the tab, then we split the tab!" He's not complaining, of course.

That aside, he eyeballs her since they are at a bar. Garrot didn't even know she drank! ...Should she drink, if she could get sloshed and teleport somewhere bad? He has so many questions, so he'll start with an obvious one!

"How are you doing? Having a good time?" They're legitimate, earnest questions, and it's as he asks them that Garrot realizes how bone-breaky he'll get if anyone's keeping Miss Hamilton from having a good time. Plus he's a little surprised she's even here, this place doesn't seem upscale enough for her.

Matilda’s cheeks can’t get much brighter, but she does strike a proper pose as he announces her name, doing a little twirl in the tacky yellow sundress she bought out of a half destroyed store. She definitely paid too much for it, but she was so grateful to change out of her poor monster gunked up romper that she feels like she won the lottery.

She beams at nods at him when he asks how she’s doing, giggling as the motion makes her feel a little woozy. “It’s nice! I’m glad they’re doing this.” Not just for the knights— but for all of the islanders who lived in Bamborough too. She twirls the little novelty umbrella from her drink, trying to hold back her smile. “I’m tired, but it’s nice to see everyone relax and have a good time.”

"Yeah..." He sighs the word, agreeing with her on all counts. The fact that this island has functioning civilization is still kind of surprising, what with the threat of Wizardly destruction each year.

But then a snarkly little smirk skitters onto Garrot's face as he tilts his head towards Matilda and gives her a look. "Y'know, I didn't know you knew how to relax!" But he is giving her a bit more scrutiny since she said she was tired.

Matilda crinkles her nose at his comment, her hand flying to perch ever so sassily on her hip. “What?! Of course I know how to relax! I am the very portrait of ease! I’m unequivocally chill!” Her voices noise level says otherwise, but she’s in a good mood no matter how tired she might be. She’s quick to giggle, and move her sassy hip holding hand to flip her hair.

“Did you get to the monster in time to see us? Zafika and I? It was so amazing!”

[personal profile] daddykong 2019-04-17 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Garrot's eyes go wide for a moment before he realizes shit, he has no idea what Matilda and Zafika got up to! They're obviously fine if Matilda of all people is excited, but... time to lie, she's unequivocally chill enough that she'll roll with it.

"I didn't..." That's not a lie. "But I heard it! It sounds like you two really did a number on that bastard, and I saw a lot of blood on the boardwalk!" The last part isn't a lie, he just avoided all of the details she's excited for.

"Wanna tell me about it?" Garrot smiles cheekily at his little buddy, because for someone as worry-prone as she is to be doing hair-flips and all this means she's growing up! From an absurd human disaster to... well, a normal one? Maybe there's hope for her yet. His inner snark aside, the doctor does look incredibly interested in whatever she's willing to share.

Look, normally she might pout at that- but she's already had a full drink in her before she ran into him, and she's sipping away at her second. So instead, she just gives him the most solemn look ever. "It was mostly Zafika--" She says, before bursting into a wild grin again, unable to curb her enthusiasm.

"--But I helped! I got us up on its head, and we'd poke it with our weapons, and then I'd teleport us away before it could poke us with its spikes! And then we did it again, and again, and-- We poked a lot of tiny holes in it."

[personal profile] daddykong 2019-04-17 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Damn, Hamilton!" Garrot's loud, and very clearly impressed. He's gonna take that solemn look and deference to Zafika and rip it apart. Because he sees her wild grin and raises one of his own!

"If you stabbed it and you did the teleporting..." He raises an eyebrow, and that grin looks like he's got a conspiracy theory. "...Then you did most of the work, and they helped!" He's not trying to shit-talk his friend, especially since they have a dinner date later that night, but he knows Zafika couldn't get up their on their own. Matilda was the crux of their whole operation! He'll have to ask his assassin pal how things went later.

"You're great at this Knight thing, Matilda!" And then he offers her one of the most coveted symbols of approval: the high five. The more confident she is in her abilities, the less of a liability she'll be... as long as she doesn't get arrogant. Also he just really wants to see her be proud of herself and her accomplishments.

She’s tempted to retort back some claim otherwise, but her grin and flush are enough to stop her. Having someone praise her like this- be proud of her, even, is a foreign feeling. She can’t do much but let out another giddy giggle, standing on her tip toes to swing a high five at him.

“Thanks! I’m starting to think... we can really do this! Dont you think?” She grins up at him, letting out another laugh, then tips the rest of her margarita back. She does a much better job at not drowning on it than she did with Haizea last night.

[personal profile] daddykong 2019-04-19 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Of course we can do it!" Garrot sounds confident, assured, and as if Matilda wasn't a walking disaster sometimes. "We're all pretty awesome, especially you and me, and aside from the blood we're all doin' great!"

Garrot will wholly refuse to mention that Rory hurt her leg the day before, or that Haizea bled a lot. It's for the sake of his point, it's fine. But he does hone in on the fact that she just downed her drink.

"You sure you're gonna be alright getting home, Miss Hamilton?" He's squinting now. "You might not want to teleport with a few drinks in you." Garrot has no idea how much she's had, but he's assuming it's multiple. She's excitable.
