In that case, Tondon will curl up and try to sleep off the headache and wait for the highstorm to pass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Mark, dear," she begins gently, voice calm and steady through the wind, "I'll come back in a moment. I must survey the area." "Why are you glowing?"

SmilingPanda19 she/her Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 (edited) 11 hours ago, Edema Rue said: GMHQ Gavin nodded, trying to look placated. He’s too soft. He cares too much. He doesn’t understand that the most beautiful art comes from the most desperate people…abruptly, Gavin stiffened, feeling something sharp and warm and dangerous come over him. A picture began to form in his mind…no, no, no, not now… “Y-you,” he said, pointing at a random assistant, who froze. “G-g-g— g-get m-m-my p-p-paint. A-and a c-canvas.” The assistant scurried off, and Gavin turned back to the screen, the painting in his mind spreading and growing. He nods and turns back to the screen. “Paint as much as you want, just make sure your studies are completed before M. Noailles arrive this evening. I expect you to be impressing their daughter…” Edited May 22 by SmilingPanda19 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edema Rue she/her Posted May 22 Author Report Share Posted May 22 Under the darkening sky, the arena shifts and splits. The ground roils like the sea in a storm. Trees fade away or pop up to the surface. After nearly an hour of this, it settles into a fowl smelling swamp. There are places of dry ground, but many of the tributes find themselves knee deep in mud or water. All those who previously did not feel weakened find themselves feeling weaker. Slowly, things begin to fall from the sky. At first, it seems like rain. @The Bookwyrm recognizes them as spores. Quote All those who were in the casino have been removed under threat of death. It’s now completely empty. Any supplies your characters had they still have, including Stormlight (if it’s in gemstones). Sorry for the notifs everyone, it’s just important that you all see this. @Lord Spirit @Cash67 @RoyalBeeMage @J.
