Day 4: Monster Arrival
Afternoon: 12:00noon - Evening
[ IRL Timeframe: July 17th - July 31st, 2019 ]It's monster time.
The bright, glowing blue fissures are still open throughout the ground, they haven't gone anywhere. At last, social media has started buzzing about the source of the cracks. They're all originating from the mountain up the slope from Craydon! There are a ton of theories, including a non-negligible amount talking about a 'Wizard death machine'! Guess the heroes will have to find out for themselves.
As usual, though, social media is the fastest source of information. Do they have an inside man? Is one of the heroes actually the one feeding all the information to social media? Either way, there are numerous discussions going on about the "door on the mountain". Apparently satellite pictures have traced the cracks all the way up to a glowing door in the side of the mountain. It's absolutely not a manmade door and it's definitely magic in some way, but why is it there now?
The Weather
- Eerily still.
- 66°F / 19°C
- Is... is that... air conditioning?
Prompts:
- 12:00pm The Game Show, Craydon: Garrot, Rory, Joanna, Haizea, Olivia, Luka, Gyre, Seth, and Zafika will all find themselves teleported from wherever they were to a new and fantastical location. The room is dark, the stage is set, the hero is seated in a contestant's chair. Suddenly, the spotlight is on them and the curtains open: The crowd goes wild! In front of the hero is a big television screen with the words "Welcome!!" on it and, beside it, is the fourth monster. They're entirely humanoid, standing at roughly six feet tall, wearing a positively striking suit and tie. All four of their eyes look surprisingly normal on their face. They look like a regular person just with a second set of eyes where their upper cheeks are. They settle their yellow pupils on the hero in the chair as they smile wide and their mouth squishes as the space opens up into existence. Looks like the mouth isn't a permanent feature, but there's a soft bubbling sound that follows it and then their voice breaks the strange noises up. Their voice is high, eager, and unmistakably excited about the news they're about to share.
"Are you ready for the show? Smile, you're on camera!" They say, hopping back and forth on their feet by the screen, barely able to contain their enthusiasm. Any hero who gives it even a moment of thought will realize two things: 1) Cameras don't work, and 2) That's not a real audience, this room is actually just dark and it's only them and the monster.
Oh god, it's only them. Where are all the others? One on One monster fight? Great!- 1:15pm Lounge Time, Bamborough: Social media is going bananas! That monster that was roaming around Far Haven's train station has made his way to Bamborough! The effects of the earthquake here may be less apparent, but there are still things to fix. But Ten won't be found fixing anything this time. Instead he's sitting on a beach chair, under an umbrella, on the oceanfront at the Bamborough Resort. On the little table to his right is a tall glass of tea and a portable USB charger. Because, in his hand, he's fiddling with a cell phone. Where did he get a cell phone? Who brought him tea? What on earth is happening?
- 4:00pm International Bungalo of Burgers, Bamborough: The social media war of "Crepes or Burgers" has begun, it's been set off by the Wizard arriving at IBoB for dinner. Just like the morning, she's asked for a group table in the restaurant. Gail, Terrence, and Matilda have all received special invitations right into their pocket (or their hand if they lack pockets). Enjoy a little card that says "One free burger!" with a stylized tiny Wizard face to the side looking very surprised!
- ??:00pm Mountain Door, Craydon: [Exploration] [Not yet revealed]

Joanna takes a slow, deep breath, slightly hissing it between her teeth as she tries to keep smiling. It's a bit a relief to at least believe she has her knight power at her back, to be sure, but... These abrupt transitions not just from one location to another, but one pose to another, make it that much more clear how little power she has here. Without warning, everything will black out without her having any knowledge, and what could be done then?
This firsthand fear is a little bit the terror that most of the world feels about the Wizard, but she doesn't quite carry her thoughts far enough to recognize in this moment. Instead, she tries to pay attention to what's being said.
"Oh, yes. I would love to hear the rules," she almost gushes, she says it so much more confidently than before. Better to buy a little time and know what's expected of her, here.
The word rows seem pretty straightforward - she'll need to fill them, guess at them, or something? But... The unseen audience went from generic cheering to saying her name, and that's a little unnerving, too.

"In this example, what word could go after Chicken?" They look thoughtful, playfully rubbing a finger under their chin before they laugh and answer:
"Dinner, of course! And what goes after dinner, but before Planner? Why, a party! You see? Chicken Dinner, Dinner Party, Party Planner!" They answer it all, and the two answer words fill in on the screen.
"Any questions before we begin?"
no subject
This is hardly the kind of life or death struggle that the wizard's challenges normally seem to circle around, the sort where the fearful adrenaline makes sense. And... Well, she'd like to know what being declared the victor means. Does the monster just surrender to be defeated? Seems unlikely.
If she's not declared the victor, she can guess the outcome.
"If I find myself stumped, in either chain, do I have the chance to phone a friend...? Ask the, uh, audience?"
Even with the showy monster here, she looks sidelong away into the darkness. Still no sign of a crowd here watching, right?
no subject
"But you'll only have two minutes for the first chain, and four minutes for the second!" They smile wide, practically from ear to ear as they sit back in their chair. They motion a hand out towards the board and it illuminates with the words for the next round:
