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!

IX - IX - THE DINING HALL

[personal profile] fallenature 2014-09-27 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ the dining hall is dimly lit from chandeliers above, but this is a thankful little detail. what the light does reveal is sickening enough, and the overwhelming stench of rot confirms what your eyes see. the rich feast remains, has been added to, fresh tantalizing glazed fruits and meats are piled upon rotting remnants, the floor littered with scraps and bones.

and then, a macabre centerpiece, in the middle of the table is a human corpse. a young man in blue and gold. It looks like you've found Ivy. A gold key glints, in his clasped hands.

Violette is hunched over the table, feral and animalistic, her child's form warped to half-beast. With words that are less words but more wild growl, she warns ]

Get out get out get get out getoutgetoutOUTOUTOUT!!!

Kid, look — maybe you ain't seen a mirror lately, but you're not looking so hot.

We didn't have nothing to do with this mess.

[Looks all toothy and annoyed and sick] I think that maybe you should consider letting us have that

[Points at the key]

No! It's Ivy's so it's important! I'll fight you! I'll fight you all!

Look, I don't know what the hell's going on.

All I see is, my buddies ate your damn meat and grew monster teeth, and here you are hunched over a body.

Oh, no you don't.

[Vaults over the table, grabbing for the key to stick it in his pocket. Then keeps right on going, aiming to slam his metal fist into the beast girl's head.]

[there is a part of his brain right now that is desperately trying to remember why eating might be a bad idea.]

So...hungry...

[Yeah, doesn't last long and he just starts grabbing food and tearing into it, finding his new sharp teeth quite useful for the task.]
blankasfreshlyfallen: (Oh... oh wow.)

[personal profile] blankasfreshlyfallen 2014-09-27 03:19 am (UTC)(link)

[Well. Hello there teeth.]

[personal profile] icantblieveitsnotdeadpool 2014-09-27 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Looks up at you with mouth dripping with meat. His teeth glint sharp in the light as his eyes narrow and he continues shoving more food into his mouth.]

Fu' o'.
blankasfreshlyfallen: (You've got one chance jerk.)

[Puts one hand up, a placating kind of gesture. The other's still on his knife, under the overcoat.]

You got it. Go to town, buddy.
icy_princess: (Slightly concerned)

[Nods and does indeed go to town. Gradually, he makes his way onto the table, ignoring the fruit and mostly focusing on any red meat he can get his hands on.]

[moves towards the body in the center of the table.]

So...hungry...

[Grabs Ivy's foot then pauses. Shakes his head and narrows his eyes as he tries to resist the hunger.]
icantblieveitsnotdeadpool: (surprised)

[He drops the foot and stumbles away from the table.]

Nooooo...not that.

[His face is screwed up in pain and frustration, but he manages to back away from the table a few steps.]
icy_princess: (Eeeeyick!)

[personal profile] icy_princess 2014-09-27 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Stays at the corpse and then at the key]

Ohhh, the key!!

[Comes closer to the table, looks at rotten food, then at corpse again]


[Licks her lips and stares at corpse... Is she really thinking that??]

I think someone needs to grab that, but not me!

[She takes a step back, drool flowing down her chin]
blankasfreshlyfallen: (Where's your head man?)

Kinda trying to not get bit here.
