Day 6: Evening Monster

[wizardseason]

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?

Monster Arrival: ???: Where is this?

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!"

He startles slightly at the hand on his arm. Now that he's more in control of himself, he feels better, but there's still a jumpy energy to him. He's doing his best, trying to take in this situation without looking like he's about to crawl out of his own skin. He glances towards Garrot's hand before looking up to him, and giving him a short nod.

"I can do a few more, yeah," he says, following Garrot's gaze downwards? To his chest? "What are you looking at?"

Also uh Gyre doesn't have lungs. His body is a single block of magically animated Stuff. There's air moving through it, but in a nonsensical, entirely nonbiological way.

[daddykong]

Shit, Gyre called him out on it?!

"Y-your chest?" His eyes go a little wide at the situation, because, uh, he does know that Gyre is dead and like technically doesn't breathe, but- "People breathe a lot when they're tired and you seemed kind of winded from that and I wanted to make sure you were-"

Deep breath. A single finger held up in a "please hold" sort of gesture.

"I haven't seen you do much with those shields, so just..." His eyes dart around all awkward and shifty-like. Garrot was so dashing and cool (in his mind) and then flew too close to the sun. "Just don't push it. I'll rip these chairs apart my selves if I have to."

The clone Garrot watching the stage chuckles.

[sustainer]

He.......... smiles. Very slightly. Just a hint of confusion in the expression, but there's fondness there too. Garrot is a good dude most of the time, and he nods just the once.

"I've been practicing, but uh, you hit hard. It takes a lot of focus to make them strong enough," he explains as best he can. "I can do a few more, like I said. I want to work on my stamina." And he winks?! Is he flirting? Maybe.

Either way, he shifts to move towards the next strapped down knight, trying to help as many people as he can before something else terrible happens.
