Ayck runs. "LILAC WE NEED TO MOVE"

Lilac nods, feeling the urgency of the situation thrum in her blood uncomfortably. She grabs the nearest weapon, leaving the scythe, and heads off with Ayck. "Don't run! It'll attract the shades!" She starts speed walking.

Alder panics and reaches into the bag trying to grab something to throw at the creature's head.
 

 

He finds a food pouch, which bounces off the creature's head. The creature, though, isn't attacking. And that shade is looking hungry...

He nods nervously. He squeezes her hand and lays his head on her shoulder. As long as she is here, I’ll be okay. 
 “Mhm.” He mumbles. “Enjoy the moment, on top of the world… we’ve got this.”

Siylna laughs delightedly. "You and me, on top of the world...I like the sound of that."

Alder walks away

The shade trails him for a little longer than is comfortable, but eventually loses interest and floats off.

"Fool!" He was sure his throw was true. He looks down in frustration and notices a smooth, moss-covered river rock. He kneels to grab the rock. 

Elsie quickly picks up the spear and points it towards the other contestant. 

"I don't want to hurt you, but I will if I have to. And this will let me draw your blood. That will mean instant death with all the shades. So how about we just part ways and both live another day?"

She tensed her knees, ready to move at a moments notice.

Lilac has no idea whatsoever what Ayck is concentrating on, but it seems like he's deep in thought so she leaves him alone. To busy herself, she turns to her pack and tries to figure out the most efficient way to open it.

She manages to pry open the pack. Inside, she sees a singular luminous lantern. At the bottom of the pack... there is a small pocket knife.

it's okay! i'm just confused where my allies are, who's characters they are, who it is that are the gamemakers, along with their characters

and also why there are people that are interacting with the gamemakers (i think there was someone named Ryn?), bc i thought that they aren't gamemakers themselves?

She grabs the nearest weapon,

You grabbed a (relatively short) quarterstaff.

raven wants to incorporate a spirit (ryn) from the last games, although this spirit has no affect or impact on the gamemakers, the plot, or other factors of the games

Yeah, so Ryn is a dead soul, I'm honestly not sure what he's doing or why, but there's no sense in arguing about it. I think Lotus told you who your allies are.

Elan grabs a glass of alcohol and downs it. "From the bottom to the top, stop hurting daddy, stop... deep inside the chasms... watch his body spasm..." Elan sings a little jingle. "HA! He DIED! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Elan starts laughing again.

Wow, Lotus. Not only is it a wooden stick, it is a short wooden stick.

Lilac has no idea what is going on and has decided that it would be best to distance herself from the situation

"uh, wow... Elan is completely broken. did i do that?"

He finds a strange, luminescent lantern, and a few pouches of food. No water, though.

ayck turns west, hoping to catch the stream. "im not sure if i trust the game makers, but i can purify the water..."

I wonder if this blinds them... it's only kindling fire that gets on their nerves...

Alder SLOWLY walks near a shade with the lantern out.

The shade continues to drift quietly. As Alder approaches it begins to turn towards him, but doesn't appear agitated.

Ephraim steps out from behind the foliage. Slowly, he slipped the moss-covered stone into a pocket and raises both hands non-threateningly. "I can live with that. Pardon the pun." Ephraim paused momentarily, waiting for a response in what felt like an eternity.
