MR77 Cycle Six: Danger Larkin

Talik raised their palm in a gesture of peace. “Calm, sailor. We can talk this out.”
Shejun held the shardblade to the base of Relu-na’s skull. As if aware of the danger it was in, the greatshell let out a low groan. 
“I’ll kill him!” She raised the sword in a two-handed stance, ready to plunge it downward. 

The king looked around imploringly. “Please. We will give you what you want.”

Pladel twirled her rapier. “Always wanted to try fighting a shardbearer.”
One of her crew, a Herdazean named Teejay, brought out some rope. “She should not be so high. She is not used to these altitudes!” 

The two of them circled Shejun. Pladel made little feints as she approached, preparing for when she would strike. “If you kill this thing, we’re all going for a swim.”

“GIVE ME THE LARKIN!”

The king reached into his robes. “Peace, friend. We have it with us.” He pulled out a cat-sized chull and held it out for her to take. 

Shejun snatched it greedily, holding it by the neck. 

Teejay whipped the rope at Shejun’s face. She made an awkward one-handed parry. 

Pladel pierced her from behind, hitting mid-back. Teejay closed the distance, grabbing at her wrist. Shejun’s blade sliced his chest, as Pladel punched her knife into the sailor's neck. 

"So much trouble..." The Captain caught the larkin as the others fell, lifeless. “For something so small.”

Rule change:

If there is only one living player, there is no automatic exe. Essentially this means a solo elim or neutral would achieve their win condition. 

[coco.pudding she/they]

Damn. I felt like TJ’s defending TUC like that might mean he wasn't elim but I went with it anyway. Sorry TJ.

Glad we didn’t get a rebuke. That would have ended the game if I’m not mistaken. Thank you to whoever gave favor. I was stressing about that a bit haha

So. We’re down to three. There are things that I have found suspicious about both of you at some point or another. But I think I agree with TJ’s comment last cycle about Hopper. I don’t love how you were talking about it being fine if we misexed there when that very well could have been lylo.
