  1. Eddie snarls as soon as Anansi hangs up. She slams a fist on her keyboard and several massive boulders fall from the sky in a distant corner of the arena. She stands up and whirls, a pair of daggers appearing in her fist. She throws them with dazzling accuracy, and is suddenly holding more, which she also throws. She draws one last dagger and slides it across her palm, then sniffs at the blood on the blade before wiping it on her dress. "He knows nothing of life," she growls. "He knows nothing of feeling adrenaline flow through your veins. He's never fought for his life." Then she grins and looks up at one of the cameras on the ceiling of her room. "Oh, but you do, don't you? You know the feeling..."
  2. Oooooh pretty!!
  3. It catches the squirrel in the back and it falls to the ground. Eddie laughed incredulously. "So you're sentimental as well as a fool. I knew it was bad, but this? This is too much, Anan. Call me monstrous, call me horrible, call me swine all you like. We all know the truth." Eddie pauses, then whispers, "I'll always be better. I've affected your own family more than you ever will. I build these games. I do the work you never can, and I always will, because you'll always be too weak." Eddie puts more popcorn into her mouth and begins watching the giant squirrel die with interest.
  4. I just finished Piranesi!

    My heart feels a little bit broken

    But also a little bit healed.

      Oooh yeah that combination will do it to ya! 

  5. It started trying to escape up the side of a chasm wall.
  6. @Justice_Magician A creature that looked like a giant squirrel (about the size of a golden retriever) stared back at him.
  7. "Is it?" She asks sweetly. "I just want him to have a good female influence in his life. You know, what with him not having a mother and all." Then she pulls a mic down and presses a button. "Tributes," she sings, "Day One is nearly over, and I'm horribly bored up here. Do be good little children and put on a better show tomorrow." Her voice echoes across the entire arena. Then she lifts the mic and says into the phone, "you're raising a weakling and a coward."
  8. @Aeoryi "Oh!" Eddie says. "Yes. The brat. Would you like tips? I know you could use them, the way you let him run about, and I'd be more than happy to show you the best way to treat such a child."
  9. "Terribly sorry, dear, I'm afraid I don't. Must be the old brain, these things just happen when you age! Could you explain?"
  10. It soaks through. The typing stops. Even though Anan can’t see it, Eddie grins. “What did I do?” She asks, sounding so perfectly confused it can’t be genuine. “Did I let the highstorm go too long? I agree, I think it needs to be shorter next time, I’m terribly sorry about that.”
  11. “I'm plotting with a friend about how we're going to destroy a mutual friend after utterly destroying them” @Being of Cacophony
  12. Eddie picks up the phone. There’s the sound of her typing in the background. “What?” She snaps. There doesn’t seem to be any plants.
  13. @Authorspren Eddie’s voice whispers to you, “The highstorm is over, and easy prey is nearby…give me blood and prove your worth.”
  14. “Ideally, never,” she mutters, then hangs up.
  15. Eddie hisses. “I don’t want to talk to the brat, Anan! I don’t know why you keep this scum around. The least you can do is keep him where I can blissfully pretend he doesn’t exist.”
  16. “Oy!” Eddie says. “I’m not a henchman. They just don’t let me be in charge anymore, since…yeah.” She snorts. “Get that son of yours in line, would you? Hmmf. I don’t like any of ‘em. Even the careers stink. That Flylf is okay, at least she’s fighting. Hmmf. My games were much…nevermind. How long do you think until we can let the highstorm end?” “Hiya Elan!” Eddie says. “Sounds epic!”
  17. Gamemaker Call “Hey, Anan, I’m bored. No one’s dying, and—just a sec, hold on,” On the screen, Eddie starts typing rapidly, and the arena sky turns red. “Okay. I thought these tributes were going to be interesting!” Eddie complains, popping a piece of popcorn into her mouth. “They all looked so ready to kill each other, and we didn’t even get a bloodbath. Also, my microwave broke and I’m almost out of popcorn.”
