WEEK SIX: MINGLE

[retellers]

WEEK SIX: MINGLE (25 remain) Rise and shine, gremlins. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and it's the start of a new week. To the participants, yesterday's events may seem distant now—albeit not as distant as their life before this. Whether or not they notice, they will have lost a memory upon waking up. The barrier to the north is down, and beyond the bridge lies new areas to explore. Strangely, what was there last week seems to have been replaced overnight. That's not the only thing that's different, either. The participants will find that their lodgings have changed. Finally, should anyone check their PHS, Elsa, Yona, Shigeo, and Fiora's profiles have been removed. Three Leaders can be found around the area, open (?) to approach. If participants want to speak to them more privately, or to an absent Leader, it looks like they'll have to go through another channel. Furthermore, it looks as though the rules have updated. Once again, participants may find that they have difficulty recalling complete details of the past weeks. Also, anyone who had been poisoned during trial will still be feeling sick! Haha! Finally, participants will find that they are now sporting a new injury. This injury is one that they received in their past, whether they remember it or not. No matter how fatal the injury is, participants won't die from it, and the pain they feel will be dulled down. However, if another participant touches someone's injury effect, even if it's covered, then they will both be hit with whatever pain that was felt when the injury was first inflicted. This pain will last ten seconds. The injury can also be as minor or major as desired.

[ what a time for some sad memloss. she gives lup a quick look before narrowing her eyes at taako. ]

Wh—hey! I will curse you back so fast, Taako—

[retellers]

[ all the kids are now looking between taako and his future betrayals in rapt attention. okay, no, some are still throwing popcorn at the girls, but, y'know.

the main child sits up properly like an interested criminal mastermind about to hear a heist plan ]

Now that's an interesting proposition. I knew that weed bucket wasn't lying and you were cool for an adult. How about you curse one of 'em, and then I tell you and you curse the other one?

[uhhhmagic]

Easity peezity.

[He looks very confused when Hilda just says some static nonsense? That name can't stop him. He can't hear it.

Just shrugging at the deal, digging in his pockets (sort of, balancing the weed bucket in one arm and sticking his tongue out), then pulling out a slightly smushed flower. Then yoinking a petal right off!]

[evocationary]

[ well, okay, that's cool, what does that do ]

[axecessory]

[ suspenseful music swells ]

[retellers]

[ well normally i'd tell them in private but you know. lup's hair grows! to! A RIDICULOUS LENGTH. It is all over the dirty, sticky floor, and it is growing exponentially to like, 70 feet in length. Golden, beautiful, immediately dirtied by children who are terrible and throw stuff at it and try to pull it to see if it's real.

i am so sorry.

the kid taako was talking with laughs! he laughs so hard he brays with it, slamming his chair with a fist. he is delighted! ]

You son of a bitch, you really did it, huh? You're the real deal. [ he sounds like a total jackass. ] How many more curses have you got in there?

[uhhhmagic]

[also braying like a jackass? Sorry this is objectively very funny. Taako stomps a foot for a second before he pulls it together--]

A mystery! That wasn't the deal. The deal was I curse one of 'em, you give me the goods, then I curse the other one. Pay up, that's the dealzo!

[evocationary]

[ she is - immediately startled by how long her hair grows? what the fuck.

for a second she just stares at it. ]

... Why is it -- [ and then she immediately shuts up. SHE'S TOTALLY A BLONDE. definitely. ] Aw, gross! Stop, you dang gremlins, get out of my hair!

[ she's going to end these children, but first she's going to steal taako's hat as punishment. or whatever his name is. ]

[axecessory]

[ kids are the MOST ANNOYING, actually? also there is so much hair? hilda is too distracted by lup's luscious, natural blonde locks to go beat taako(?) up. ]

Lup!

[ she's going to try and... spool this hair up off the ground, because the floor is stick, covered in popcorn and whatever else is on the bottom of these children's shoes. cool. she also pushes a small child to the ground when he tries to pull on it. ]

[retellers]

[ Hilda pushes a child to the ground and the other kids first laugh at him as he hits shit on a table, and then they immediately attempt to grab some of the hair to wrap it around both hilda and lup. because they are terrible. a child dumps his beer on it.

The king brays again. ]

You drive a hard bargain. Alright, word around here has it that the fair is having some trouble working. Hell if I know why, but I guess that's why that guy let us in for free! Even told us to do whatever we wanted. So we did.

[ children do not understand the concept of economics and how that does not make sense ]

[uhhhmagic]

That's our-- That's our lore, seriously? Not even a good item? What guy?

[Seems like a bad deal, King Kid! Anyway, Taako is yelling at the child while trying to defend both his hat and his weed bucket from Lup, but look, she's being attacked by hair, so surely she's not that agile right now]

[evocationary]

[ hilda just yells a bunch of static for the second time tonight --

it's fine, taako's hat survives for now. she is immediately distracted by the children trying to tie them up in her own hair, like - she's so done, she doesn't care if they're ten

the one pours beer in her hair and she immediately launches herself across the room to kick his ass with her noodle wizard arms ]

[axecessory]

[ it is now time to fight these children. she is going to duck under this horrible hair rope to avoid being cornered by these hellspawn, though there's a lot of them... ]

You are asking for trouble, mister—

[ she dumps a container of popcorn on one of them before riling up to take on the next horrible baby. ]

[retellers]

[ the children are forming some kind of lord of the flies murder circles around them. the good thing is, these kids are both drunk and way out of shape from all the smoking, so hilda can defeat the horrible babies fairly easily. lup will have more trouble because they've still got her hair and are just. tangling it all over? this is the opposite of cute girls helpfully braiding hair.

the king shrugs as horrible things happen around him. ]

Listen, quests are stupid anyway. Just sit here with us and enjoy your weed while we kick those girls out. [ he smokes his cigar. hey did he. did this guy always have donkey ears? those seem new. ]

[uhhhmagic]

Okay we got the goods, grab the hair and book it! Run! Serpentine!!!

[Trying to grab some hair and his weed bucket and punt some children out of the way, making a run for the door now. LATER, ASSHOLES.]

[evocationary]

[ there is no way she's escaping this room THERE ARE CHILDREN STOMPING ON HER HAIR, TAAKO

anyway she pushes a drunk child to the floor, dunks an empty container of popcorn onto another kid's head, and tries to make it to the exit? she has 70 ft of hair. idk what you want from her ]

[axecessory]

[ hilda is going to rise from the rubble as victor, she has a horrible brat by the ear and is kind of dragging him along while they try to make an exit strategy.

one last thing though. at king kid: ]

Tell me who this guy you talked to is, and I'll curse— [ she points at a twin, one guess which ] that one!

[ betrayal bonus round ]

[retellers]

[ This is hilarious to look at for king kid who now has donkey ears. which is fine. they match his donkey face. hm. should donkeys smoke cigars.

anyway, he brays out a laugh. ]

Ah, you know, he owns a bus route or something? Satine? Can't possibly be assed to remember everything about every old guy who offers me a ride. He's always hanging out around the fair anyway, everyone knows him. [ anyway, he looks eagerly for curses. he betrayed taako so easily. donkey children truly are horrible

there's so much hair and children falling over. they are now pelting them with cue balls. YOU FUCKS, THAT'S DANGEROUS ]

[uhhhmagic]

Hey, what the hell! I'm just doing it because I had to for the rules! You're just doing it to betray me! I didn't even curse you!

[Still trying to run for it, but there's like. Hair in the way. This is fine. A cueball bounces off his head.]

[evocationary]

[ THE CUEBALLS

she gets pelted with one too. it bounces off her and hits a kid, probably. she wades through hair! ]

Curse the stupid donkey kid! [ she picks up a pool cue and whacks a kid away from her. and also whacks a cueball coming for her face away. ]

[axecessory]

[ okay well she gets beaned by a cue ball in the shoulder and that's a good cue to leave. she reaches into her pocket, and to her credit, does try to curse donkey kid.

.......however! ]

Oh, that didn't work.

[ so she goes with her original option. again, to her credit, because she is very nice and not petty at all, she will scoop taako up after to skedaddle out of here! ]

[retellers]

[ Taako is now a frog with a widdle wizard hat. Don't worry, Taako! It's not slime, it's mucus.

The donkey children laugh as the three run out. ]

[uhhhmagic]

[ribbit]

[evocationary]

[ that's what you get

anyway she flees as much as she can with her hair and just. drags it all the way to IC discussion ig ]
