Day 3: Evening
Evening: 5:00pm - Midnight
[ IRL Timeframe: June 16th toNo matter when the heroes defeated their monsters, or when the sixth monster was defeated and there were none left, everyone will be treated to an unfortunately familiar feeling. The world of the past will fade, slowly at first but gradually increasing in pace until they pass out to blackness.
Everyone will wake up on a beach, and not a beach in the town their residence is in. Looks like everyone will need to take the train back home or go for a really, really long walk.
More unsettling than that is that every hero will either have a decent suntan or a mild sunburn. Social media is abuzz with comments about the island "going still" and the knights "dead on the beaches". There are reports that all twelve knights and the princess were all defeated at the same time and left on the beaches as an advertisement that the world was over this year.
Naturally, the heroes will realize that they are not, in fact, dead. Better do some damage control, there. Anyone who tried to make any recordings in the past will find that the files are corrupted and unavailable. Looks like whatever happened is going to... stay in the past.
The heroes who are due for an evening visit in the Princess' Dream Citadel or in The Wizard's House will arrive there the moment they sleep.
The Weather
- Warmer than yesterday.
- 77°F / 25°C
- Everyone's in a bit of a panic!
Prompts:
- 05:00pm Beach Wake-up Call: Every hero will wake up laying on the wet sand of the beach. There's waves gently lapping at them, waking them up slowly from their abrupt return from the past. Everyone will feel a little groggy and their clothes will be uncomfortably crusted in sand. Here's to hoping that saltwater and sand will wash out? Make sure to remove the little crabs that have started crawling over you!
- 5:00pm, Craydon: The residents of Craydon are all safely at home up the mountain by now. The only people still lingering around the Craydon beaches are fishermen working to prepare for their sunset runs. The offshore cages aren't going to empty themselves, after all! Fortunately this means they have, and can offer, blankets and hot drinks while they're heading out. It's not much, but they're here to help. At least the heroes are hopefully not alone?
- 5:00pm, Bamborough: The residents of Bamborough are really just the locals, concerned for the future of the world and of the heroes. Instead of waking up alone, they'll find little boxes of dry towels and bottled water beside them. Looks like the residents were pretty sure they were going to wake up at some point because they've left little kits to help them wake up with. It's not much, but it's better than nothing. The boardwalks of Bamborough are empty, with not a single soul out and about. The local shops, though, are pretty much business as usual. They'll immediately bustle in excitement when the heroes show themselves. Also: Free showers near the beach boardwalks! Better get all that crusty sand cleaned off.
- 5:00pm, Far Haven: The city of Far Haven is simultaneously the most cold and impersonal and the most immediately helpful. Each hero in Far Haven will wake up with a little walkie talkie beside them. If they pick it up and reach out, they'll be immediately told to come to the Far Haven hospital for immediate medical assistance. Once there, they'll be offered a free shower, water, hydration, a medical checkup, and a free coupon for the Craydon hot springs. There are even little kits set out for the knights in other towns. But... there's no one to bring them to the other towns, whoops. Guess they're carry-out only?
- 5:35pm onward, Train station(s): The train has a pretty reliable schedule for the evening, ending in Far Haven at 11:25pm. One way or another, the train is going to be how your hero makes their way back home to sleep for the night. Will the ride be uneventful, or will it be spent with others?
• Bamborough: 6:45pm, 8:30pm, 10:15pm.
• Craydon: 7:20pm, 9:05pm, 10:50pm.
• Far Haven: 6:10pm, 7:55pm, 9:40pm, 11:25pm.- 6:00pm, Bamborough: In the outdoor seating area of Slyder's Wizard Sliders, a Wizard-themed burger restaurant in the most touristy area of Bamborough near the waterfront, the Wizard herself is seated at one of the tables under a big umbrella. Despite the big umbrella, she's still wearing her massive hat: Double shade from the setting sun. Sitting on the table is a small wizard-themed drink with little lightning bolts sticking out of the blue liquid.
- 8:00pm, Far Haven: Social media is quick to add the #wizardsighting hashtag to posts made by officers at the police station in Far Haven. The Wizard is seated up on the rooftop ledge of the police station, legs dangling over the third floor edge, surrounded by fireflies sparkling in the night. All a hero has to do is tell an officer they'd like to go up to talk to the Wizard and they'll be escorted to the elevator to the roof. Up you go, heroes!

6:00pm, Bamborough:
no subject
Once he arrived though, he realised he was absolutely STARVING. He remembered there was some places near the waterfront and he Should have money for something small. It just happened to be the first place he noticed was the Wizard themed Slyder's Wizard Sliders. That would do.
And then he noticed the Wizard. Oh No.
no subject
But she gives away that she knows he's here when she speaks.
"Good evening, Horse knight."
no subject
And then she speaks and Gail can feel that flood of nervousness once again. Oh god she could probably kill him right then and there??? Was this how he was going to die?????
"Um. Uh. Good evening, Wizard."
no subject
"Did you come to get something to eat?" She asks, motioning a hand at her empty table. A moment later, a waiter comes by with a plate of sliders. He looks down at her, then over at Gail, squints, and then sets the sliders in front of an empty chair at her table.
"I hope you like sliders."
no subject
"Uhh, sliders are good. Yeah. I eat anything, really. Uh, almost."
no subject
Because now, when Gail looks down, he'll notice that the sliders are now decorated in cute little versions of four of this years' knights. There's a mini Garrot, looking too pleased with himself. A mini Joanna, looking smug about something. A mini Rory, smiling with the utmost glee. And a mini Seth, complete with a little puppet made out of fries.
If he eats any of them, they're really tasty! They also match the advertised sliders that are on the little page in the center of the table.
"You can have more if four isn't enough."
no subject
It's too much. It's far too much. Matilda Hamilton has endured a lot of things today, but this-- this is where she draws the line! She storms up to the umbrella shaded table, her cheeks flushing bright scarlet (from sunburn, or blush? there's a lot of new freckles there) as she throws both hands down on the table, the very image of dramatics and distress.
"Eating at your own themed restaurant?!"
no subject
Honestly, she'd be flattered if she knew Matilda had come here for food instinctively. Way to follow your gut, dog knight. The Wizard doesn't react to Matilda's intimidating arrival, though her blue drink does start automatically floating up off of the table so it doesn't spill.
"They gave me a coupon." She answers completely calmly, as if that's the most normal explanation in the world.
no subject
She pouts, and invites herself to have a seat at the Wizard's table. This will do.
no subject
Also they were the featured menu item, on sale to celebrate the current heroes! Beside the plate is a glass of tea. If Matilda tries it, it's like nothing she's ever tasted. It's floral like lavender or rose, but sweet like honey and just slightly spicy like ginger.
"Are you hungry, dog knight?"
no subject
Her stomach growls. "...I am. I didn't think this would be my first choice, but..."
no subject
"Those are for you." She clarifies as a plate of four appear on the plate in front of her.
Two of hers look like the first and second monsters: A sphere-shaped bun with no visible burger, is it on the inside? There's an eye toasted into one side of it. The other has a spiky bun with a bunch of little crispy crunchies sticking out from it. The last two sliders are half-sliders, each looking like the two halves of the third monster.
Also all four of hers have bright yellow buns, matching the monsters.
no subject
"They're your friends, right? The monsters?" She pauses to take her gloves off, then delicately bites into the slider.
no subject
"Some are." She answers, about the Monsters. "Some would prefer to be called allies, instead."
no subject
“What would you call them? Either way, isn’t it... sad for you? That we hurt them?”
no subject
"It's always been sad. Every year. But they don't have a choice like you don't have a choice." She answers the second question first, and then looks thoughtful for several moments.
"Hm..." She considers, before shrugging very slightly and conceding to her answer.
"Friends"
