Day 6: Morning

Morning: 6:00am - 12:00noon

[ IRL Timeframe: October 31st - November 7th 13th, 2019 ]

In the typically quiet town of Craydon, most residents know that the beach is only a short walk away from the train station at the base of the mountainous region they live in. They've constructed a long wooden path out to the edge of the sandy area, with a number of benches available for any residents. Typically there are a handful of locals either walking, relaxing, fishing, or ocean watching on this normally quiet and uneventful beach. But today, at sunrise, the Wizard and the Protector are on the beach. The Wizard has made short work of sending everyone away but a few have remained to post it to social media.

It's a stalemate, for the most part. For every blow one flings, the other parries it. For every shout, there's one in return. Most unsettling, however, is that they're arguing in a language that isn't native to this world.

Far Haven isn't having an uneventful morning but it is having a quiet morning. The Hospital is looking better after the events of Day 5, the front doors are now available for use and a construction team is hard at work undoing the damage that had been done the previous day. It's definitely not fixed yet, but it's clearly on the way.

That isn't the big event that's drawing people's attention, though. Six, today's monster, has borrowed a chair from inside the hospital's lobby and placed it in the courtyard right outside the front doors. He can be found sitting, one leg propped up over the other and showing off one of the cowboy boots he's wearing, with a clipboard leaned up on his leg. Two of his arms are sitting on the armrests, casually drumming like he's impatient. Two more arms are folded across his front, and the last two arms are holding and writing on the clipboard. His yellow skin is bright as the sunlight hits him, but he's clearly ready for the sun with a pair of aviator sunglasses covering his eyes. Are there multiple eyes under there? He's wearing a cowboy hat with a white bandana around his neck and thick hair(?) bound up in a ponytail dangling off the back of the chair. This monster's a cowboy!

Oh, and there's a huge double-headed axe propped up against his chair. Can't forget that, that's scary.

Bamborough is a strange blend of eventful and not. The Child's boat is back and social media has made no secret of where they headed: Breakfast. The Bamborough Diner, a staple location in the tourist town, has been serving them meal after meal all morning. They're on their sixth meal, stuffing pancake after pancake into their mouth. They've been using the diner's picture-filled menu to order item after item and they haven't repeated one yet. It's time to EAT!

But with all this happening, surely the heroes won't be up to anything else? There's definitely no reason why the Wizard has suddenly chose to go toe-to-toe with the Protector this morning, right? No way, no how.

There's definitely a reason.


Sixth Morning Event:: The Fight.


The Weather

  • A little foggy.
  • 55°F / 13°C
  • Uh, grab a jacket, it's actually chilly.


Prompts:

  • 06:00am The Beach, Craydon: Today, at sunrise, the Wizard and the Protector are on the beach. The Wizard has made short work of sending everyone away but a few have remained to post it to social media.

    It's a stalemate, for the most part. For every blow one flings, the other parries it. For every shout, there's one in return. Most unsettling, however, is that they're arguing in a language that isn't native to this world.

    The heroes can try to get close, but they'll eventually find a barrier in their way. Is your hero here? Are they talking to others? Is there anything they can do? Or do they know more about what's happening than they've told others?

  • 07:00am Harsen Island Regional Hospital, Far Haven: Far Haven isn't having an uneventful morning but it is having a quiet morning. The Hospital is looking better after the events of Day 5, the front doors are now available for use and a construction team is hard at work undoing the damage that had been done the previous day.

Seth is definitely surprised to receive a text from Gyre, especially having witnessed his difficulties with using a phone first hand.

He's quick to type out a reply though, pausing in his wandering.
This is Seth, where do you want to meet?
sustainer: (😯)

[personal profile] sustainer 2019-11-10 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
I'm in Bamborough now if you want to talk. I'm gathering all the knights at the base of the mountain in a couple hours. We need to go to the top, where the child came from

That works. I've kinda been meaning to talk to you too but yesterday well...I was pretty occupied. Do you want to meet in front of my house or...? I'm fine meeting wherever.
sustainer: (😯)

[personal profile] sustainer 2019-11-10 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know where your house is

Sorry Seth, Gyre is building blind. Every street looks basically the same to him, and he couldn't picture the outside of Seth's house to save his life at this point. He looks around though, trying to find some landmarks. There are the trees that line the street. He could describe every single one of them, but he remembers how confused Garrot was about his directions earlier. So something different...

Eventually, he picks himself up and moves towards the one unnatural landmark he's been able to memorize after a week.

I'm outside the train station

Seth blinks a little as he reads the messages...before a small twitch of a smile momentarily makes it on his face.

Alright, I'll be there soon, I'm not far off.
sustainer: (😃)

[personal profile] sustainer 2019-11-11 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
See you then

And indeed, he'll be there, loitering in front of the train station, occasionally glancing up the steps for Seth.

It doesn't take all that long to arrive like he'd said, giving a small wave to Gyre as he spots him.
And...he certainly looks a lot more relaxed and not nearly as much of a wreck as he's been on the previous days.
sustainer: (😃)

[personal profile] sustainer 2019-11-11 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
He nods in return, looking Seth over as he approaches. The kid certainly does look less tense which is a relief. Gyre had been half sure Seth would explode before the end of all this. He smiles very slightly, but he won't say the first thing. Seth said he wanted to talk, so he's here to talk.
silentwords: (amused)

[personal profile] silentwords 2019-11-11 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Seth takes a moment to settle against the train station's wall, before starting to sign.
"So...punching the Princess? One part of me is glad for it and the other thinks I might have misjudged him."

He decided to start with that, speaking quite casually.
sustainer: (😒)

[personal profile] sustainer 2019-11-11 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
...how unpleasant. He wrinkles his nose very slightly, a frown beginning to crease his brow. Excuse you, Seth?

"You're glad I punched someone? His nose is broken," he signs back, an extremely dry expression on his face. He'd hit Luka again if he said the same thing (probably anyway), but he didn't take pleasure in doing it at the time. He certainly regrets it now with a little hindsight. He's lucky Luka was so willing to ask questions and ally with him after that. The idea that one of these people saw someone hurt and was glad about it chills him to the bone, honestly.
silentwords: (shame)

[personal profile] silentwords 2019-11-11 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Seth makes an awkward experssion, quickly singing back, embarrassed.
"Sorry that...came out a little wrong. Well, sort of. What I mean is the part, that I'm trying to improve upon, let's call it Seth 1.0, is glad about it because it thinks he deserved it just because I got off on the wrong foot with him due me myself being petty...the other wants to talk to him and start off fresh before I decide on a proper opinion of him. It...sounds a little confusinf even when I try to explain it doesn't it? What I mean is, I'm currently trying to re-evaluate my judgements on the other Knights and the Princess...even if part of me would just like to stagnate and stick to being the same petty old me."
sustainer: (😃)

[personal profile] sustainer 2019-11-11 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
This kid is a mess. He sighs softly as he comes to understand what Seth is trying to say about halfway through, waiting patiently for him to finish before he says anything else.

"It's not confusing. Emotions are difficult sometimes. I'm the one that punched him, you know?" He reaches out and pats Seth's shoulder reassuringly, giving him a sympathetic smile.

"I'm glad you're trying to improve yourself."
silentwords: (blushy)

[personal profile] silentwords 2019-11-12 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Seth sighs in relief at the pat, and the knowledge that the misunderstand was cleared, giving a small smile back.

"They're so complex it's annoying I'd say...but...yeah. I wanna be able to help and, well, as I was I really wasn't of any help, the opposite really at times. I mean I am by no means where I want to be eventually but it's a start."
sustainer: (😒)

[personal profile] sustainer 2019-11-13 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Gyre nods slightly, wondering if maybe he'd mistaken how close they were. He can't imagine dissecting himself like this in front of anyone except his spouses. Even then... These people are so dang weird.

"That's good. I'm glad we can rely on you. Things are going to get more difficult from here," he says, still smiling very slightly despite the solemn tone in his voice. "Are you coming to the mountain later?"
silentwords: (reluctant)

[personal profile] silentwords 2019-11-13 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Seth pause at that for a little bit, appearing rather hesitant, before taking a deep breath and nodding firmly.

"Yeah...I mean, I am still admittedly scared but...just running away isn't going to help anybody...me included. So...I'll be there."

There's a very small nervous smile on his lips as he lifted his head to look Gyre in the eyes.
"I'll...I'll do my best."
sustainer: (😃)

[personal profile] sustainer 2019-11-14 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
"That's all I expect," he says with a nod, smiling quietly at him. He's not entirely sure what to make of this conversation so far, but he's happy to reassure a fellow knight. More bodies is always going to be better then fewer.
silentwords: (happy)

[personal profile] silentwords 2019-11-14 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Seth can't help but grin slightly. He really enjoyed talking with Gyre.
