[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!

What's gone?

Re: END GAME

[foreveralawn]

I got...um, we m-met a cat, that m-made a d-deal with us to increase our p-powers by...doing s-something to the seals...

[waves her hand, the one with the Ophanim tattoo]

B-But it's all g-gone now...

Re: END GAME

[icantblieveitsnotdeadpool]

Well, I'm personally glad that what happened in our room went away. That...was not fun.

Re: END GAME

[foreveralawn]

W...What happened in y-your room?

Re: END GAME

[icantblieveitsnotdeadpool]

[Pauses for a moment, looking fairly abashed.]

I'd rather not talk about it. It was not good.

Re: END GAME

[foreveralawn]

Okay... I'm s-sorry for asking.

Did it g-go away at least? Like my p-power...

Re: END GAME

[icantblieveitsnotdeadpool]

Yeah. It's gone now. Thankfully. I...I almost did something unspeakable.

Re: END GAME

[foreveralawn]

"Almost" isn't the s-same as "did"...

Re: END GAME

[icantblieveitsnotdeadpool]

Yeah, but the fact I "almost" did it is disturbing enough.

Re: END GAME

[foreveralawn]

N-Nothing much happened to us...

Oh, b-but...we got a weird memory. N-not like the ones you win. It was...I think it was about the p-plague. From the journal. Remember?

Re: END GAME

[icantblieveitsnotdeadpool]

[grabs you.]

You found out more about that? What happened?

Re: END GAME

[foreveralawn]

N-Not a lot! But...we all relived a m-memory. Orchard were burning b-because the people though t-that was the source of the plague. But they also t-thought it was because of t-tainted water. Or...or a foreigner. N-Nobody really knew I guess.

And...there was s-something else...

Re: END GAME

[icantblieveitsnotdeadpool]

Huh...crazy. What else did you learn?

Re: END GAME

[foreveralawn]

The...p-person whose memory we got. They...their h-hands were starting to b-become twisted. They h-hid it with g-gloves. I think...they m-might have been sick. With the p-plague. Or...maybe the s-source of it? It w-wasn't clear...

They d-didn't feel bad about it, though. H-Hiding the plague, when they were t-trying to get r-rid of it.

Re: END GAME

[icantblieveitsnotdeadpool]

Huh...this is all very strange and kind of going over my head. Why does this all have to be so complicated?

Re: END GAME

[foreveralawn]

It was w-weird.

[and wrong, hiding the plague like that. that bothers Quinn more than the orchard-burning.]

Re: END GAME

[icantblieveitsnotdeadpool]

Kind of sad...all that pain and burning...for no real reason. Didn't stop anything.

Re: END GAME

[foreveralawn]

It m-might have. If that person h-had said something.
