Sorry about the whole ‘disappearing into the storm’ thing. You still have to kill me?” Without waiting for an answer, he turns back to Corin. “How about those supplies?” @Ancient Elantrian @Edema Rue “Nah, you’re off the hook.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Blossom she/her Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 5 hours ago, Dragonheir said: “That’s me,” he replies in a similar whisper, “what do you need?” He taps a little more Connection, both to make Astra less likely to betray him (He hasn’t known her very long and lots of magic is by touch. One necroburst, and he’ll be impaled dozens of times.) and to leave more room so he doesn’t fill the metalmind all the way while sneaking around. Quote This is before we go to the other side of the casino, right? 9 hours ago, Lotus Blossom said: 9 hours ago, The Stormfather said: "Stay....back. Need...food. Help!" @Lotus Blossom I think you're also near here? Astra didn't stay back, but she didn't advance either. She just stood there, with crossed arms, and watched. "Pleasure to meet you." She smiled. "Astra Ay. And I know who you are." Expand Tondon continues storing Connection, and observes, ready to intervene if something goes wrong. Astra can barely remember he’s there, but he slips her a knife, then stands so @The Stormfather is between it and him. Astra grips the knife firmly, her wrist at her hip. 2 hours ago, The Stormfather said: "Astra?" Mark says, remembering the odd woman who had shown up and left like the highstorm at the beginning of the games. "Where did you go? You just disappeared during the storm!" "A simple trip to the cards, dear," she smiled, with a quiet voice, "A simple tour of the casino." She laughed lightly underneath her breath, "It was only a coin. Only some dice. Only a drink." She blinked with an air of nostalgia and returned to the conversation. "Yes. It was quite the storm." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also @The Stormfather. Tondon has been standing behind Mark the whole time, but the other participants only notice he’s there now (his metalmind is full). He appears slightly confused. “Huh. Hi, I’m Tondon. It’s nice to meet you,” he says, tapping half a metalmind of Connection then returning to filling and fading away. It should leave an impression on Mark though. You feel like you knew him very well, but you’ve immediately forgotten he was there. If he stops storing again Mark might find him trustworthy seeming. @Ancient Elantrian @SmilingPanda19 or maybe other GMs Quote What effect does all this storing and tapping have on the GM HQ and the audience? Would tapping lots of Connection get Tondon a sponsor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unintelligenius he/him Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Quelkin crouches behind a tree, trying to figure out how to get the tributes to start fighting. If he could start a fight and get out of there it could end with a few deaths, which would mean less competition for him. He started by grabbing a few small pebbles and trying to throw them high up into the air, so that when they came down on the tributes they would feel them from above and not know where they were thrown from. He then slid behind the pine tree and put his back against it so the other tributes couldn't see him. @Edema Rue @Ancient Elantrian @SmilingPanda19 & anyone who is standing outside the casino in the main clearing Quote I think this is like @Lotus Blossom, don't know who else though and also @Spark of Hope & @Bookwyrm0685 are you guys in the clearing yet or no?

Quote No he doesn't Quelkin throws a few more rocks at Tondon, Mark, & Astra to see how they react. Again he throws them as high as he can to make it so that the other tributes don't know where they are coming from.

Tondon is magically forcing people to ignore him, so Quelkin can’t throw rocks at him. Tondon doesn’t see him yet, though. He does see a rock fall from the sky though. “Huh.

Tondon’s Connection storage will stop Jaksyn from noticing him, at least initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
