  1. “Well, I was thinking we’d have that trial - with Mead Bush as the judge and someone who can make people tell the truth; maybe someone who can speak to Charlie as well. Mead Bush and the rest of whatever jury we assemble would decide your sentence, and then once I had more information I might go to the El-ay place and alter whatever organization you three actually work for. The extent and method of the alterations remains to be determined, but I’d like to stop more people like Par from getting hurt.”
  2. “No, not wonderful! My pancake has been destroyed! On the bright side though, I found a crossbow.” Cole picks up the crossbow right next to the unconscious body of the man who had it. “I didn’t do anything wrong, but I doubt the others would agree. So I think it may be time to move along.”
  3. Cole’s jaw drops. “Oh no! How did this happen? I was just trying to give you a snack, and now the pancake is ruined! It was a good pancake too; apparently quite dense.” He walks up to the uninjured guard, then attempts to deck him. “Like I said, you looked tired. I think this rest will benefit you.” Cole says to the now-unconscious man.
  4. Nick begins some meta acting, pretending to be pretending to be himself. “Of course we’re in a game show. The people talking from the sky are the game hosts. We only realized that recently. I wonder where we’ve been sent now - maybe it’s the world that’s been teleporting us all this time?”
  5. Nick walks over and has SIMON feed him good lies as he attempts to find out more. “I couldn’t help but overhear. I’m a fan. It’s a shame they canceled just as I finished the costume … do you know why?” “Larry, that’s us!” Nick whispers.
  6. “You’re attacking me? The guards in my hometown would let people come quietly. Trust me, I’d make sense if you listened to me enough; it’s the only reason I make sense to me.” Cole pulls something from his small back. “Catch!” he calls, as he throws his last pancake and steers it with wind towards the closest guard’s face.
  7. There is an area the fish seem to be avoiding further up the beach. The bottom in that stretch is covered in loose rocks rather than the fine sand everywhere else. Some of them are rolling back and forth in the current, which is odd.
  8. The water is clear and blue and warm and beautiful, and small, colorful fish dart around. It’d be a wonderful day if nothing was trying to kill you.
  9. “Fifty, then. That matches better our circumstances. You know what, I’ll play a bandit. You have to stop me from both ‘killing’ you, and from reaching the wagon.” Alvar walks off into the woods, getting behind a tree at around fifty feet. “Practice without it is important, in case you don’t have access to magic for some reason. And honing skills individually is valuable in all cases. You can be the referee, if you’d like.”
  10. Nick prepares to teleport, and gets ready to react when he gets wherever he’s going.
  11. “Sword on crossbow? I suppose that works - it’s better practice for what happened, anyway. Thirty feet apart, do you think? Or fifty through the trees, your choice. You have magic, correct? I won’t use mine if you don’t use yours. Except for maintaining this blade, of course.” Alvar looks between Nera, the crossbow he’d set down, and the sparring ice blade he had in his hand. “I’ve done enough crossbow practice for tonight - we don’t have enough time to make me an expert shot. So I’m switching gears.”
  12. “Yeah, although there aren’t any physical crystals this time. Do whatever you think can give us more information. And get anything you think we’ll need.” @The Stormfather, Nick tries to take a picture, and SIMON analyzes his eyes and brain to see where the yellow is from.
  13. “Sounds like you need practice, then, too.” Alvar focuses and the blade’s points melt, then refreeze as rounded tips.
  14. “And look, now you’re trying to steal me. Also, you should take a nap or something. I’ll do your job while you rest, if you want.” Cole knows that running will give him wind, and gets ready to do so, but maybe the guards will actually be reasonable. @SpiritOfWrath
  15. “I didn’t steal from anyone. I gave people money for nothing, in fact. And why would a pancake not be valuable? I gave someone money for it!”
  16. “That’s fine. I think my ribs are still healed, but we can check for more breaks.”
  17. Veer lies back down on the hospital bed, not really knowing what to say.
  18. “Really? You think I’m some sort of pickpocket? Who have I stolen from?”
  19. Alvar listens to the in his opinion irrelevant argument, and decides that even if it doesn’t matter, choosing a side would alienate another team member. That would be probably. Intimidating another team member, on the other hand, would be fine. “I’m sure you’re all having fun arguing, but we were practicing, if you recall. I was thinking I’d stop crossbow practice, but I still need a target. Any volunteers?” He smiles his many toothed bloody smile, then flicks his wrist. The valve set in the sleeve of his leather armor opens, and he directs and freezes water into a jagged blade. “There’s not benefit to actually hurting each other, so I’ll spar to whatever metric a challenger wants, assuming it’s fair.”
  20. He flexes the still metal arm. “I think so. I don’t feel corrupt-y any more. We should still wait a bit to make sure it doesn’t come back, but I think I’m cured.”
  21. "Anyways, whats your next move?" “When you said you were useful, I assumed you had ideas.” Fourth spits.
  22. Aora pulled the rest out. @InfiniteInsanity @SpiritOfWrath, also. Golden sparks fly as Aora removes the binding that kept them there, floating into Veer and healing him properly. The corruption cleansed from him, Veer’s now-metal arm shines in prismatic colors. He takes the circlet back from Aora. “Thank you. Is there anything I can do to repay you?”
  23. Cole blinks. “Why would I do that? I don’t think I broke any laws, anyway. You’re just accosting an innocent traveler.”
