Edema Rue she/her Posted May 23 Author Report Share Posted May 23 (edited) 5 hours ago, Dragonheir said: Tondon keeps hitting it with the box as the tentacle starts squeezing hard enough to hurt. Then, as it continues to ignore him (after all, he’s trying to hit it with his non-dominant hand), he tries to open the box, hoping something in there, like an iron vial or a weapon, might help him. The box is stubborn, very stubborn, but it eventually springs open, revealing vials of multicolored spores. 2 hours ago, WhyEverNot_8 said: “Deal.” Connor said, before wading back to the box and looking for a way to open it 2 hours ago, Spark of Hope said: She tried to pry it open with the knife. @Edema Rue It creaks ominously, but doesn’t open. 2 hours ago, Lotus Blossom said: Astra's eyes sparkled with a smile as he flipped the gold coin. Fool's gold... Sometimes, it was alright to be foolish. Sometimes, it was the wisest decision. "I'm no game, Corin," she leaned in on the counter, her voice almost a whisper "Don't mistake me for one." You ought to learn self-control... Rivia scolded. Why have self-control in a world that loves controlling you? She had nothing left to lose, but her life. So nothing would stop her from enjoying it while it lasted. And if the pain was worse later on, then let her be pained, if only a moment's laughter rang true. She couldn't let herself go with Corin. It was disrespectful to herself. It was disrespectful to Sawyin. But something about him made her miss the way things were. Something about him made her wish nothing more than to let herself go, while she still had something of herself to hold onto. This moment wouldn't last forever. This life wouldn't last forever. But how much was she willing to risk in the moment? Everything. Astra took the two dice in her hands and spun them out, watching calmly from her position on the counter as they rolled across the bar. “I know,” he said, “and none of my gold is real.” He winked at her. “But we could play anyway.” He watched her dice spinning, spinning, spinning…double ones. Not very lucky, was she? Of course, most lucky people didn’t end up here. But she wasn’t dead yet. She’d made it into the casino. And if she made the right deal…he could give her anything she needed. 1 hour ago, The Bookwyrm said: Tinker watched the broadcast in the sky. He noted Marewill's eyes, but didn't say anything. As he watched Marewill's siblings, he felt a pang of homesickness for his own family. His parents, his siblings, his brother-in-law. Why do they torment us like this? he thought. They know most of us will never see our families again. And still they put on this spectacle. They're monsters. Tinker walked over to where Marewill was trying to open the box. He didn't say anything about the broadcast. "Here," he said, placing three or four tiny Verdant spores along one of the thin cracks where the box was fastened together. Then he licked his finger and ran it across the spores, activating them. The small bursts of vines pried the box open. @Spark of Hope @Edema Rue (or whoever's in charge of the box) It works, and the lid flies off. Inside are several bottles of multicolored spores.

His hair is combed neatly. He’s wearing a perfectly cut, dark green suit. And there isn’t a single splatter of paint on his hands. (Well, maybe there’s one. Or two. But they’re mostly gone). He doesn’t say anything. Edited May 23 by Edema Rue 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We have to go!" @Spark of Hope Quote I realized that I quoted the wrong box opening but it's the same contents anyway... Are there any other supplies for spore usage in the box, like iron, steel, silver, clay, ect.? If so, assume Tinker grabs those too.
