[opening_act]

Who: Exael, others
When: Day 5, Afternoon
Where: The Arena.
What: Game 3

[ Another day, another blast of the trumpets, another game.

Exael is there this time, in her human guise, standing in the center of the arena, and in the center of a giant circular mirror with a clock face painted on, that has been installed in the floor beneath her.

Both of the painted hands are currently pointed towards XII

Exael raises both her arms with a flourish and calls out as people enter: ]

Come one, come all! Take your positions, for soon the curtains will rise on our next act!

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Sure it is. Most all of it's empty, though, lady.

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[fallenature]

"Clearly those eyes of yours haven't been looking real hard."

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

I been around the whole damn place. When's the last time you got out?

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[fallenature]

Real recent-like. But if you don't mind, we've got a conversation you interrupted.

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

We'll get outta your hair.

Before we do, though, we're looking for some kinda key. You seen anything like that?

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[fallenature]

No. You seen a guy, little younger than me, looks like our Violette, here? Brown hair, brown eyes? Same uniform?

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Nope. We'll keep an eye out for him, though.

Or you could come look with us? We got more space in the place we're staying. You don't have to hole up in the arena, you know.

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[fallenature]

One of us should stay in case Ivy wanders his ass back here. But not a bad idea, to look.

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Strength in numbers, right?

You guys got names?

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[fallenature]

"Yeah. Call me Rose. Little one goes by Violette"

"Hey— I'm not that small!"

"Right, right, only half-way shrimpy goes by Violette, and our old man is Travis."

[ he sighs ]

"Honestly. . ."

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Hey, pal, I know how it goes. Bunch of kids around here, right?

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[fallenature]

[ he nods in agreement ]

The demographics of this place are really quite bizarre.

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Well, anyway. We gonna get moving or what?

Who's coming?

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[fallenature]

"I have no opinion."

"Oooh... I wanna eat, but I wanna find Ivy too! Can't I do both?"

"You leave it to them, we're never gonna get anywhere. Just pick and get a move on."

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Well, she's already eating. You wanna man the fort, kid?

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[fallenature]

Sure! I can do it! You can trust me!

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Okay. Everyone else, let's get a move on. We got a key and a kid to find.

[Casually snags himself a piece of bread and glances at the lady in charge.]

Fuel for the road?

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[fallenature]

Fine by me. We've got plenty.

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Thanks, lady.

[He stuffs a few pieces in his pockets, bites into the first one, and then looks for another way out.]

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[icy_princess]

I'll go.

The sooner we find what we are looking for the sooner we can celebrate!

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[blankasfreshlyfallen]

Yeah. We got memories to worry about, too.

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[icy_princess]

[Eyes the strangers, then the food, then the strangers]

I'm called Snow... Nice to meet you.

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[fallenature]

[ Travis sticks out his hand to shake, Rose nods acknowledgement, and Violet waves ]

"A pleasure, young lady."

"Yeah, yeah. Sure."

"Nice to meet you!"

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL

[icy_princess]

[Shakes Travis's hand with a firm handshake]

Nice to me you all. Wow, all of this just looks so amazing. I thought there wasn't this kind of food around?

Re: III - IX - THE DINING HALL - on the table

[fallenature]

[ the table has been set with a platter of roast, carving fork and knife set beside it. on a smaller platter, apples have been cut and set out in a circle, surrounding a mound of pomegranate seeds. Fresh baked bread is placed out, and a jar of honey beside it. A bottle of wine has been uncorked, and every seat down the long table has been set with plates and silverware ]
