[Late god is late]

Who: Game players and observers
When: Day 22, afternoon
Where: New and improved shrine room
What: Kain's idea of fun.

[If you've managed to remember to drop in the shrine room, you'll notice Kain's shrine is missing. In its place are five tables with an assortment of ball shaped slots with names written in each hole. Each table has a number labeled in the wood along with locked boxes placed neatly on the tables. If you find your name in a ball slot, you can place the ball you received yesterday into the corresponding slot. This will trigger your box to unlock and you will be able to receive your usable item. Above everything, a screen with instructions hangs in midair.]

Thank you for coming. Each table corresponds with the new friends that you will be working with today. Each of you will receive an item with which you will use with your team members to create a device to capture the creature shown below. Extra special prizes will be awarded based on: creativity in carrying out the mission, effectiveness of the trap and overall teamwork. THERE ARE NO PUNISHMENTS FOR FAILURE. You have 3 hours.

Please enjoy yourself, learn something about each other, and have fun!



[A bowl of balls is placed at the side of the door for anyone who wants to join in.]


[OOC: I will NOT be around in every thread but if you comment to the 'ball-in' thread, I will let you know what is the secret item your character has received. If you did not sign up on Thursday, but would still like to play, e-mail me and I'll add you to a team!

THE OOC DUE DATE FOR THIS POST/GAME IS TUESDAY MIDNIGHT PST...Please have your team's result (or lack of) posted to the TURN IN thread before 7AM PST (when I wake up) to have it counted towards prizes. An ENDGAME/PRIZE post will be thrown up tomorrow morning, barring the world coming to an end.]

Holy fuck, like you've never treated me like shit you wouldn't even scrape from the bottom of your shoe. What's something you'd say now—sorry I hurt your precious little fee-fees, now let's all work together?

You told us to put our past behind us, and then you picked on that Ling guy for asking everyone to work together. I called you out because that's a fucking contradiction, and then you got all pissed the fuck off and started flying off the goddamn handle. How fucking dare I point something like that out, right? That's what started this. It wasn't just me.

[pencilpremonition]

Are you a fucking idiot? There's a difference between what I asked and what he asked. I asked everyone to work together. He said I had to let you abuse me. What started this was you insulting me repeatedly, and even though I asked you to stop, you refused. That's what started this, and it was all your goddamn fault.

I was being polite and willing to work together till you started insulting me, but guess what? I'm not gonna fucking stand for that. You're gonna treat me decently, or we're gonna keep arguing. You don't get a free pass to treat me like shit cause we've got work to do.

[hydralize]

I'm not gonna treat you decently when you still haven't admitted how much of a fucking bitch move it was to spread lies about my entire fucking apartment when only two of us ever did anything to you, and only three were even there. You're a vicious, despicable person who acts like she never does anything fucking wrong unless it's "justified" even when innocent fucking people get caught up in your bullshit. So yeah, maybe I don't think you deserve my decency. But I also think I've got a goddamn good reason for it.

After all this? I want to see you apologize to their faces before I even think of treating you with any level of civility. They deserve that decency a thousand times more than me, and a million times more than you.

[pencilpremonition]

You don't deserve shit after the way you've treated me! You abuse me time and time again, your sister even hit me and you won't even say she was wrong for it. You probably fucking congratulated her after we left. So no, you don't get shit. Abusive fuckwits don't get shit from me, and you don't have a right to keep abusing me. I'm not gonna lay down and let you keep doing it!

[hydralize]

Yeah? Well I think you're fucking abusive too. You've always treated me like scum. Like trash that's unworthy of anything unless I'm bowing and kissing your feet. You're abusive too, so we're even.

Aa, and don't try to say I'm worse because I'm the one asking for that, because we both know I'm not. I even said you can call me asshole or whatever if you don't want to deal with me politely anymore. It's all fair.

[pencilpremonition]

Like fuck I am! I'm not the one who hit somebody across the face, and I'm not the one who said it was okay to do that!

Start there. You wanna have this conversation now, you wanna sort this shit out now, start there.

[hydralize]

Let's stop wasting time and get this done first. Then we can talk.

[I AM GOING TO PLAN '-']

[pencilpremonition]

I'm not planning with you as long as you're insulting me every other sentence. My name isn't 'Princess'.

[hydralize]

I haven't called you by that in this entire conversation, have I?

[pencilpremonition]

....Yeah, I'll give you that. Don't start it again.

[hydralize]

Aa, I already agreed that I wouldn't.

[pencilpremonition]

[offers hand]

Let's work together, Nova. We've still got shit to sort out. But let's work together.

[hydralize]

[doesn't take her hand, but nods '-']

Let's get started.
