J. Magi she/her Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 15 hours ago, RoyalBeeMage said: “You have no reason to. All I do I do to protect my family. If you knew my story you would understand.” Sharp felt cold anger rise inside him, but he tried his best to push it down. Roy wasn't the source of that anger, even if he'd reawakened it. He knew should sympathize with him. 14 hours ago, RoyalBeeMage said: “I used to be a sand master working as an assistant to someone high up in the government. While working there I came across some files that I shouldn’t have. It was fill with all the atrocities that they had committed over the past few decades. It was horrible to see what they had been doing. The person I worked for found out about what I knew and gave me an offer. To be executed along side my entire family or to come here where there was a chance that I would live if I told no one what I knew. In exchange my family would be locked up instead of being executed. I had to accept. that was how I ended up here. In exchange for a few deaths and my sandmastery I was given this shardblade. then later a gm offered protection and safety for my family if I made him(@The Bookwyrm) Reilise just how much he needs you. and now we are here.” "Listen, that's horrible, and I'm so sorry that happened to you but . . . We all have stories like that. The games took volunteers this year, but that doesn't mean we want to be here. We were each forced into this for one reason or another, just the way you were." He didn't share his own story. This wasn't the time for that. "I'm not trying to write off what happened, I'm just saying . . . you don't see me attacking people. Even when it's in my best interest, believe me." He sighed, knowing how preachy he sounded. Hating how he sounded like him. "I guess I'm just trying to say that . . . I understand your reasons, but that doesn't change the fact that you aren't safe for my teammates to be around." "And . . . and maybe later you won't be safe around me. I'm not threatening you, I'm just saying that's how this game works. That's all." Sharp had no idea if he'd misunderstood, or even made things worse. He was terrible with people. But he'd said his piece and that was good enough for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhyEverNot_8 he/him Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 On 7/18/2024 at 1:45 PM, Edema Rue said: She’s going to die. The words settled in Corin’s mind with hopeless certainty. I can’t save her. I can’t save myself. All of them will die. I promised I’d save them. I promised we’d be free. But I always have been a good liar. There is no light left in this world. ”I would urge you,” Corin said, eyes blank and mouth tight, “to remember the dead. ”They remember you.” Connor blinks “Huh?” He looks extrmely confused “Didn’t I just say… Yeah I did… Huh???” He shakes his head quickly, as it trying to clear it, then freezes, he studies Corin’s face “You lost someone, didn’t you?” He stops storing luck, instead tapping it lightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He walks over to Sharp and the others, storing luck as he goes. “Hi.” He says tiredly, “What’s the plan?” He coughs and breathes deeply and mutters “Damn it, my allergies are getting to me again.” He sits down and—I’m assuming there are trees near us—leans against a tree, putting his hand over his eyes @J.
