Day 5: Evening
Evening: 5:00pm until Midnight
[ IRL Timeframe: October 15th -Evening is calm, evening is serene, evening is-- a time for everyone to catch up with all the nonsense that just happened today. For anyone checking social media, there are a number of significant events that went down to catch up on:
- Gyre's head straight-up fell fucking off. Somehow he's not dead.
- Gyre and Luka fought each other.
- Gyre punched Luka in the face.
- Terrence posted a Photoshop Phriday contest on the Hopeful Hearts homepage in the morning, when the Wizard was KO'd. It's finally gone viral.
- Two hospital rooms are out of commission due to the floor collapsing.
- The hospital's main lobby is inaccessible via the main doors, good thing the side doors work.
- Rory is missing. Where did the Tiger knight go? Social media fears the worst.
- The child teleported off of the pier, leaving anyone with them behind as they boarded a tourist boat. If the side is to be believed, it's headed back to Bamborough, but with the child at the helm where would it be going?
The Weather
- Birds are chirping again.
- 59°F / 15°C
- It shouldn't be this chilly?
Prompts:
- 5:00pm Onward: Hospital, Far Haven: After the rooms were destroyed and the lobby floor was ripped up, the Hospital is hardly in tip-top shape. Any heroes can drop by to try to gather clues with others, to try to help pick up the place, or of course drop by to get medical attention.
- Most Evening Times: Gyre's Camp, Forest between Craydon and Bamborough: Gyre can be found in his camp for most of the evening. It's taking up a little clearing in the trees and it's extremely nicely kept even at first glance. There's a fire pit dug into the ground, and lined with rows of gently polished rocks. There are three delicately carved wooden figures sitting on the rocks, one per rock. There's a little boar, a curved antler that very nearly looks real and uh a wizard hat.
Off to the side, there's a canvas tent that's just barely big enough for a Gyre-sized bedroll and his emptied backpack. It's been zipped shut except for a couple inches opening left at the top. There's a little pile of chopped wood beside the tent, and a bowl filled with a dark purple dye and a few folds of leather. In front of the tent is a boot with the sole coming off, partially unsewn.
Across from the fire, there's a rack set up with one cleaned rabbit? skin, and a deer skin hung on a pole to dry. The deer's skull has been set on a pike up high to bleach the bones.
At least one person has promised to visit, but will he even after their fight? But perhaps he won't be the only one to drop by tonight.- 5:00pm Onward: Unlimited Tacos, Bamborough: Even after the rails are fixed in Bamborough, the unlimited taco deal didn't come to an end. If the princess or any knight drops by, they won't even have to ask because there are free tacos for the rest of the day! Any hero may show up and sit down to dine on tacos of all types and flavors. Unfortunately this taco shop only specializes in flour-shell options, but their flavors are on point! Dine in with your fellow heroes and discuss all the nonsense that's been happening... and it's only day five.
- 5:00pm Onward: Free Drinks, Far Haven: If your hero is just tired of everything having to be So Much All The Time, they can drop by one of Far Haven's brightest night life bars called "Reach". They're offering free drinks all night to celebrate the Wizard getting put in the hospital. Things are looking pretty easy for the team this year! The special drink being offered is the "Wizard Bomb" which drops a blue shot into a bubbly red drink. It's pretty tasty and, best of all, free! Which heroes will find each other here before the night crowd shows up? Sun's going down fast!
- 5:00pm Onward: Free Admission Meditation, Craydon: Heroes need to take a moment to breathe, and one of the locals in Craydon has realized that. They've offered any hero a free meditation session in their garden room. Incense will be lit, hot towels will be offered, and the gentle serene environment of their garden room (complete with the carefully-combed and designed zen sand pit) will make sure any stress just melts away. Does your hero run across someone else while walking in or leaving? The Wizard can be found sitting outside, staring up at the sky, for the rest of the evening.
- 7:00pm Bed & Breakfast Helping Hand, Craydon: The owner of the Helping Hand Bed & Breakfast needs a helping hand! They threw their back out after carrying a large stack of firewood in for the wood oven. Looks like they're down for the count for at least the rest of the day. Care to lend a hand, perhaps with your fellow heroes, to get things taken care of? The laundry needs to be done, more firewood has to be cut, the food has to be cooked, the guests have to be checked in and out... Who's going to do all this if they can't even get up off the ground? They're in a rough spot! Social media was kind enough to report on what happened, but now that night's falling, things have to be closed up for the night. After the events of the day, Ten can be found here helping out. Looks like he's doing a little bit of everything!
- 8:30pm Protector Meeting, Far Haven: After the events of the day, the Protector sought out Olivia and spoke with Luka before he handled his own evening tasks. They both received a card from him with an address on it and a request to bring one knight that they trusted along with them. The address, not strangely at all, will take them to the center of a small local park in the middle of the business district. When they arrive, the Protector will be sitting on a bench overlooking a fountain. All around him are screens that are showing the events of the day, and he appears to be reviewing what happened.
Of course, this isn't his dream space so he can be found by just about anyone at this point. But will anyone else find him? Before or during the meeting? Will they spy on the meeting or make themselves known?
Procedure:
Reply to the appropriate toplevel comments for events below. Indicate if a post is a private conversation with "Private" in the subject otherwise all threads should be open to interaction with others. Plan OOCly how you'd like to toss everyone around.
no subject
Luka keeps tuning and strumming alternatively until he's satisfied.
"I suppose there aren't many songs we know in common, though."
no subject
He listens to the tuning with a curious ear, wondering what exactly he's listening for. He seems like he's looking for something in particular, and it has never occurred to him that people might do music differently in different places.
"Probably not. I'm not much of a singer anymore anyway," he says idly, shifting to put his side to Luka so he can stretch his legs out. "Besides, I'm here to listen to you."
no subject
Luka's hand slides the length of the neck, his fingers snapping effortlessly into place across the fret board, as though playing were simply second nature to him. When he sings, his voice is low and honeyed -- a stark contrast to the energetic, flamboyant Luka Eutychia one might typically find on stage.
It was rare moments like these when Luka perhaps wished that he could see, or at least had some way of reading Gyre's reaction. It was one thing to play to a crowd who screams in adoration, but a private, quiet performance for someone who's not even your fan left for the tiniest sliver of doubt.
When he finishes, he says nothing-- but there is a curious look on his face. Luka's eager to hear Gyre's thoughts, though he tries to hide it.
no subject
He's quiet for the first minute or so of the song, but once he's found the rhythm of it he's bobbing his head, and patting out this improvised drumline on his legs. As the song ends, he picks up a few bars of it, humming them, keeping it going and iterating on the tune for a few moments. He sounds happy, even if he clearly struggles to hold a note for more then a second or two around the scars in his throat.
He stops before very long, grinning up at Luka as he says, "You have a beautiful voice."
no subject
no subject
"I don't believe in destiny," he says instead, trying to move along as quickly as he can. "Will you play another?"
no subject
Luckily, asking Luka to play again was probably the best and easiest way to get him to completely drop the subject. Luka smiles wide and readies himself to begin playing again when he stops suddenly and fishes his phone from a back pocket.
"Ugh, it's really not the time." He says, moving to power it off. "I didn't tell anyone where I was going and they're all freaking out, of course. I swear, they can't do anything without me."
no subject
"Who's looking for you?" he asks after a moment. "Do you need to go?"
no subject
With that, Luka launches eagerly into another few songs. His playing is no less passionate as the last, and he lets out a long contented sigh as he finishes.
"It feels so good to sing again! Thanks for letting me play for you."
no subject
He's smirking up at him as he begins to sing again, listening intently. He lasts a song just picking apart lyrics before he returns to tapping on his leg, taking the song and playing with it as it's sung. On one of the simpler melodies, he works out a pretty decent accompaniment that he can actually hum with his ruined throat.
By the time it's over, he's sighing happily, shifting to lean comfortably against Luka's leg.
"You're welcome anytime, Princess. You really know how to make a guy feel special."
no subject
Popularity was something Luka paid close attention to. He doubts even the footage of Gyre without his head from that day would significantly decrease the Knight's popularity among the people. More likely it would even increase it.
1/2
no subject
His thoughts short circuit as he actually registers the rest of what Luka said. Popularity? He's done his best to avoid cameras. How could he be popular? Amongst the other knights? He doesn't think that's true?
"Popular... with who?"
no subject
no subject
"I don't want that," he says limply, as if just saying that will do anything at all. He sounds completely lost honestly. What does one do with a fanbase you only just learned about today.
no subject
no subject
"But you're able to keep people interested in you?" he asks after a beat. "You cultivate it?" Tell him about fandom, Luka sensei.
no subject
"Becoming the Princess is actually great for my career, as long as I survive." Luka laughs. "Does that make sense?"
no subject
"That's really fun for you? Do you feel like you have to do it?"
no subject
no subject
"People would listen to you sing at least. You have a lovely voice."
no subject
no subject
"I've enjoyed this, here, being able to listen to you play and talk in between. I can scream at you if you like, but I might lose my voice," he says, teasing softly with that last bit.
no subject
no subject
"It's... not one thing. Anything to keep busy. Hm, I haven't built a house in awhile," he muses after a moment. He misses that sort of work even if it's not necessarily something he loves.
