Questioning (I wanted to do ‘summary’, but figured this was the lesser of the stretches)
-
"Come one, come all! The greatest magician this side of the river!" A crowd was gathering. The people of Fallion's Tears must have been really gullible. On the stage, which was constructed from old wood scraps, a cloaked figure stood, shrouded in mystery. He had a top hat and a stick painted black with a white tip, and his cape glittered when the light shone on it just right. Oh Philico, he thought. You've really outdone yourself this time. "Magic! Mystery! A good time!" Philico shouted to the crowd. "A break from the horrors you live in! This is what I offer! Come! See!" He swept off his hat in an exaggerated bow, and reached his arm inside to dispatch a few hordelings. It was easy to flub magician when you were a being no one on this planet had ever heard of, much less this town. The hordelings inside the hat banded together, their red carapace smoothing and intertwining with the others to create a fist-sized ball. He took it out of the hat at once and showed it to the crowd, with little reaction. "Tough crowd." he whispered to himself. And then replaced the hat on his head. Philico threw the 'ball' up into the air, and splayed out his hand in a flat palm facing upwards. When the ball came down his hand came up, and he high-fived the ball as it fell, mid-trajectory. To the normal person, it would bounce off, but to Philico, he simply let the hordelings dissolve back into him, smoothly, instantly on impact. This received a few gasps and scattered claps, but he could do better. From the stage, he produced a cloth the size of a bedsheet, and waved it dramatically. Preparing it, he held it up with his arms so that he was standing behind it; so that the crowd could no longer see him, and he dropped the cloth, and for an instant of time he was completely hidden- -And in that instant, Philico spilt into two forms. His hordelings separated and formed two identical copies of what he had just appeared as- slightly smaller, less dimensional copies, but copies all the same. When the crowd saw the erupted into noise, and Philico bowed with himself simultaneously. The two Philico's which was really one Philico reached down at the same time, mirroring the other, and grabbed the cloth again. He repeated the same cover-throw motion, and when he was revealed again he was one, back to normal. He bowed to the crowd's cheers, and hurried off the stage. Perhaps that had been a bit... excessive.

Granted. I’ve bought an acre of sand in the Sahara I’ve nicknamed ‘the movies’; I’ll ship you there cost-free and you’ll be perfectly secure. I wish to win the Yahtzee game I’m about to play.

If you need more people, I’ll do it. But expect low effort No one asked me to join, btw.
-
Yeah, I just saw that 11pm KasTime = 7am MatTime and went the other direction with it
-
I think that's Saturday morning for me, assuming I calculated right. This won't be confusing at all xD Edit: Calculated wrong, it's Friday morning. Pretty sure.
-
I'll join as Philico. Looks fun! Edit: I'll take the Cosmetic Role of Magician, as well.

See El’s post above for the first question. One of the mods will be your IM, they can approve the blackout elements.
-
I think it's yours, given the last sentence of the post you quoted. Go ahead and PM the committee for approval, see what they say.

"Hey, Cadenza! Look what Janice picked out for me!" Maddy held up the sweater. @Condensation
-
A chill ran through Maddy's spine. What? "It was successful in that you're safe, which I think was really Cadenza and Aryanna's goal. I'm happy to defer to that being mine as well. C'mon, let's go show that sweater to the others." She put a hand on Janice's back, steering her towards friends and away from that conversation. She would need to talk with Aryanna about this, maybe Cadenza. And probably Colonel.
-
"Yeah." Maddy said. "I didn't know what I was facing." She smiled. "I got beat up, but I'm fine now. The mission was successful, and they have you back!"
-
Oh yeah. She wouldn't know. "I'm in the army, from one of the other islands. My immediate commander was sent to apprehend y-Trace, and I was selected to accompany the mission. I'm glad I did; I made some new friends."
-
I... thought it was rhetorical... Maddy let her grin break through. She would take it. Both the hug and the sweater.
-
"Why not?" She said, suppressing a grin.
-
"Green, I think."
-
Maddy smiled. "Great! What are you thinking?"
-
"Oh! Hi, Janice... I'm having trouble picking something, do you think you could select something for me?"
-
@Archer is ahead of me. I would rather not run it, but I can. I’ll turn it over to you if you’re fine with running back-to-back QFs, but it’s fine if you don’t want to. I have a game that’s done and am fully able to run it. Edit: @TJ Shade, if Archer/Ash doesn't show up by tonight, I'll put up the signups. (Or not, if you get to it first )

Maddy stood around and watched.

There still came no reply from the man eating, so Craven decided to figure it out himself. Cowards didn’t wait for their food to be handed to them on a silver platter. He walked past the dining tables, and wandered into the kitchen. Craven saw that there was a large steaming pot of soup on the counter, and ran over eagerly. A quick scan of the shelves revealed a stack of bowls and a drawer of silverware, so Craven grabbed a spoon and bowl and used the ladle already in the pot to fill it up. It turned out to be more of a stew, with chunks of meat and vegetables. It smelled delicious and Craven’s mouth watered for something other than sour berries.
