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?

By now, Haizea is deep in the onion ring zone and Seth catches her with her mouth full. She signs 'Y-E-S' with one slightly greasy hand before finally swallowing.

"I'm good! My arm is basically good as new, got a scab that looks like it'll fall off soon. My head might need a little more time but it's fine too. How're your hands holding up?"

There's an immediate relief going through Seth, and it shows too, as he relaxes and let's out a small breath of air, before typing again, slower this time, no longer as urgent.

"I'm glad. They're all healed up, it's like I didn't hurt them in the first place." He paused for a bit, before continuing to type with a silent chuckle:"I'm guessing the healing left you too incredibly hungry, probably more than me even, and I wasn't really full until my second meal here."

"Absolutely, I feel like I haven't eaten in weeks. I'm gonna eat all the damn onion rings they have and then see how I feel. Maybe move on to chicken wings, maybe mozzarella sticks, I haven't decided yet." And with that she crunches down on another onion ring, gestures to the platter of them and then to Seth. Please, help yourself if you'd like.

"Being hungry is a better side effect than passing out, at least."

Oh, well that sure was an offer he hadn't expected...but Seth sure is gonna take her up on that because snacking is one of his favourite things since he seems to be able to stomach so little food at once, so at home he's snacking almost constantly.

Cronch. Onion rings are good. Good thing he can type with just one hand though, he doesn't want his phone screen all greasy.

"Oh, definitely. I didn't pass out thankfully but after I'd cleaned myself up and eaten for the first time, I conked out for several hours."

Onion rings are good, she pounds down a few more while Seth types.

“Better than passin’ out immediately like I did, I don’t even remember how I got to the hospital. And now I’m so hungry I can barely stand it! Still,” she pauses for another onion ring, “I’m glad Terrence was there, it would’ve sucked to have to deal with these things healin’ over the next few weeks. Fightin’ these monsters is tough enough as it is!”

Seth visibly shudders at the though that without Terrence he might have not been able to use his hands at all for at least the evening, possibly several days, grimacing at the very idea, then distracts himself with an onion ring or though...he was admittedly still kinda peckish.

"Oh, yeah, we definitely got lucky with getting someone with a power that has healing applications. I wasn't really sure where he took you off to but Garrot was the one to carry you there...uh...two Garrots?"

“Ugh, embarrassin’,” she mutters, running her left hand through her hair. The right one is too greasy from the onion rings to come anywhere near her hair. “Hauled ‘round like a useless sack of potatoes...”

She shakes it off and eats another onion ring to distract herself. “Anyway, do you know what happened to the second monster? I assume the others must have gotten it, but I hope none of them got hurt too.”

Seth shook his head sheepishly. "I...haven't really asked about details, but I don't think anyone got hurt. At least I haven't seen or heard anything that would point to it.

"Well, hopefully their fight went smoother than ours, at least. We've definitely gotta get you some better hand protection, it wouldn't do to need Terrence to fix you up after every fight," she says, biting into another onion ring before examining it. Looks like the onion layers weren't separated properly on this one, she's got double the onion in this ring!

Seth blushes pretty heavily, scratching his cheek.
"Yeah it'd be good to get something more permanent to protect them I guess...though mostly I think I hurt myself because I...think I panicked and didn't really think about the wounds that would result from pulling with my non gloved hand...I don't really remember much clearly, what happened after it tried to turn you into a pincushion is pretty hazy. My fingers I know I hurt because I retracted my wires way too fast considering the weigth they were pulling."

"Ah, geez," Haizea says, looking a bit ashamed, "I didn't realize that so much of those injuries came from helpin' me out. Sorry 'bout that, I shoulda done a better job."

She sounds disappointed in herself, but she shakes it off shortly. No use in beating herself up too much, all she can do is be better next time.

Seth is quick to shake his head.
"No, it's okay. I mean, you were just doing your best to keep it's attention off of me you know? I doubt I would have fared with this few injuries if it weren't for you keeping it's attention on you. And...I didn't really get to say this back then but...thanks for um...handling? Garrot for me..."

"Oh, Garrot," Haizea sighs, sounding a combination of fond and frustrated. "He means well, but he's the type that'll bowl you right over and think he's doin' you a favor. I got experience with folks like him, you just gotta be nice but firm and not take any shit." She says that flippantly, then seems to reconsider a bit.

"Not sayin' that's what you oughta do, it's just my approach. I can't blame you for bein' upset 'round him, he probably yells too much for you be any kinda comfortable, huh?"

Seth nodded rather firmly at the last statement before starting to type again on his phone with a sigh.

"Yeah...though to be honest...the bowling right over bit is the one that leaves me the most uncomfortable and scared. That and...I feel like he practically despises me now with how much of a disaster this morning's training with him ended up being. The fact I don't really know what I could have done better doesn't help either. I'm too out of touch with communication that doesn't happen online..."
