Event: 8PM-10PM PST Run

[hot_mess_express]

Who: unfortunate souls
When: out of time, slotted in with the event but put out of time so people can die/come back easy
Where: places

[ The ground rumbles and shakes - and then opens up. The earth swallows you whole, leaving you in front of . . . blobs . . . Oh they're a little cute, aren't they?

But the world is a bit dark, isn't it? It's a little scary . . . isn't it? ]

[It is ironic because now I am the one being suffocated!

she just sort of stumbles and flops onto the ground like a ragdoll

the malicious magic is still surging, but somehow starts to recede somewhat without the blob directly influencing it anymore]

[purrtagonist]

Ah-- wait!

[. . . he doesn't know why she tried to strangle him, but ultimately? it doesn't matter. he bolts for her as soon as she hits the ground, skidding across the dirt to crouch next to her. he reaches out to grab at the blob and literally. . . try to tear it from her head]

Hey! Someone tell a stupid joke, or something. . .!

[he can't laugh when he's genuinely panicked for someone else's life!]

[taking a breath and a moment to mentally reorganize his sigils, then pressing one into Akira's shoulder, glowing yellow-gold. he'll feel significantly stronger and hardier.]

I don't know if you'd get the ones I know.

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[purrtagonist]

Try me!

[a little desperate. he promised her no one would die. he promised her]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[legis_vox]

[thinking frantically for a moment, then]

I guess if it'll help you get a grip on the situation, I'll see what's within my grasp.

[look, puns are universal]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[purrtagonist]

[YES. YES THEY ARE. incidentally, they're Akira's favorite form of humor]

[there's a pause]







[and then he ducks his head and snorts]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[legis_vox]

I don't mind giving you a hand but I'm not sure I have the right touch.

[someone stop him]

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[purrtagonist]

[swallows down another laugh so he can say, perfectly evenly]

But you're plenty armed and dangerous, and I think that's helpful enough.

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[legis_vox]

[--laughing, sudden and almost surprised]

As long as I can help get a handle on the situation...

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[howlsitgoin]

Eeeh? Is the situation getting a little too... sticky?

[he's trying]

Let your fear slime right off of you!

Re: PLAYER ACTION

[purrtagonist]

[. . . DUCKS HIS HEAD AND CHORTLES while still trying to yank the slime off of Hlasoh's head]

Re: PLAYER ACTION
