Day 6: Evening Monster
Evening: Evening - Midnight
[ IRL Timeframe: December 4th - December 18th, 2019 ]Three significant things happen when the heroes have finished their venture into the mountain.
First: Just outside the mountain cave entrance are four doors just... freely standing there. The heroes will be able to walk around them, walk past them, and generally inspect them. But they just look like normal doors. Three are marked "Bamborough", "Craydon", and "Far Haven" and sure enough if the heroes open them they'll find the marked city just past the door.
What?
The fourth door is marked "Guest List" and has the names of all the heroes scrawled down below it. Six had said everyone was invited, after all.
Second: The Wizard and Protector's fight has ended, but social media is losing their collective mind over the crater the two had left behind. A significant part of the beach is now gone, filled in with water in the empty space the battle left behind. How did it end? Who won? Is it all over?
Third: Six's show has started. Luka's princess senses will point him straight to the door with the guest list on it, and he'll know he's meant to enter. Courtesy of some time nonsense, even if the heroes take their time entering from the mountain-side of the door... they'll all arrive at the same time in the monster space. They won't all arrive back on the mountain at the same time, though, instead they'll go back at the end in the order they went through in. First in, first out, after a shared same-time-Six-showdown fight.
But is it a fight?
The Weather
- Cloudy.
- 52°F / 11°C
- Still chilly!
Prompts:
- 5:00pm Mountain, General Post: Any character interactions atop the mountain or in any of the towns before the heroes go to face Six can be added here. Five and Ten both say they won't be joining the heroes to watch the show, they weren't invited.
- 5:30pm Onward: Monster Theatre: When the heroes arrive in Six's space, they'll be surprised to see that it's set up very much like a movie theatre. There are exactly enough plush, reclining chairs for all the heroes to have one each. At the front of the room is a big red curtain that's down, with a sign over it stating "Take your seats, the show will be starting soon!"

It’s only moments until Luka feels the mysterious and incredibly unsettling force that seems to be attempting to pull him from the seat he’s locked into. He can only wonder if the Knights accompanying him can feel the same feeling. Either their voices were obscured by the awful music, or they’d disappeared. Neither option was terribly appealing to Luka.
He grits his teeth in frustration, wishing he had something — anything — up his sleeve. But there was no Protector, no sword, no magic from under the ground. Luka suspects a showman like Six wasn’t about to give him any useful information, either. That would spoil the show. So Luka is left feeling completely helpless.
“Six, I won’t see anything. Why don’t you just throw me a bone, hmm?” He says, nervousness cracking through his facade. “Can’t be hands on when you’ve got me all locked up.”

"Your opening move is coming up, do you want to try it yourself?" He offers, kneeling at the edge of the stage as he keeps his attention on Luka.
"If you put your own special heroic flare on it, it would add to the whole show!" He continues, and Luka will feel the tugging on his body loosen. But he'll also feel a soft thump against the chair as a sword is manifested leaning in place. It's nothing special, a silvery-white rapier with no adornments, but it's at least a well-made blade.
"Please: Take the blade, strike up a pose, make a heroic statement?" He asks, wondering if Luka will accept. At the same time, the restraints pop free of Luka's limbs.
Progress!

"Oh, Six, that's what I like to hear. Much more my style." He brandishes the sword, noticing how the spotlight's glare reflects off of it. "You may as well have asked me to breathe, or to look good. This is second nature."
He is quiet for a moment while he contemplates his next move. He swings the rapier several times while capping each swing with an iconic pose, ending with the sword pointed in Six's direction.
"Six! Listen well!" Luka shouts with dramatic flair. "On my honor as the 40th Princess, Luka Eutychia, I swear by this blade that I shall strike you down!"
He stays locked in that pose while he waits for Six's reaction.

"Almost perfect." Six responds, sounding... disappointed?
"The energy was right, but you directed it all wrong." He continues explaining, sighing deeply a moment later before he finishes with:
"Because I'm not the enemy you're fighting."
no subject
He is singularly focused on workshopping this to perfection with Six that Luka doesn't even fully notice the other Knights' shenanigans around him.
"Care to enlighten me as to who I'm against tonight? I'll give it another go, if you want."
