[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.]

Re: Done!

[hydralize]

Right . . .

[pencilpremonition]

You gotta admit, she's pretty violent. Even for one of you guys.

[hydralize]

Aa, but at least she's goddamn honest about the kind of person she is.

[pencilpremonition]

I try to be honest.

It's hard living here, though. There are lots of people that pick on me for no reason.

[hydralize]

People always have a reason. Even I know that.

[pencilpremonition]

Aella started picking on me the minute I got here. I didn't do anything besides show up here and she started picking on me.

Now she's gone and turned all her friends against me, too, all cause I "said mean things about Aella". But the only thing I said about Aella was that she was mean to me.

One of her friends even cut me across the face.

[hydralize]

[Just looks at her incredulously]

[ARE YOU REALLY TRYING THIS WITH ME?]

[pencilpremonition]

[What, if I can get you to be nice to me, surely you'll know how to get Aella to be nice to me.]

[hydralize]

. . . Why did you apologize to me just now?

[pencilpremonition]

Cause it was the right thing to do...?

[I'm not sure?]

[hydralize]

Uh-huh . . . Not so you could try to sell me the exact same kind of bullshit about someone else? Don't you think "sob sob Aella is mean to me and I never did anything" sounds exactly like "sob sob Scowl is mean to me and it's all his fault"?

[pencilpremonition]

...I want your advice. Cause this time I really didn't do anything.

[hydralize]

My advice is that you need to shut up and listen when people tell you about the shit you're doing wrong. You do a lot wrong. Everyone fucking does shit wrong.

There's no way this is all some group of assholes picking on some innocent little princess. You've probably been an asshole too, and that's why they don't like you. You're just too goddamn determined to believe you're perfect to get it.

[pencilpremonition]

Aella's friends don't like me cause I don't like Aella. But all I've ever said about her is that she's mean and she picks on me. And she does. She started the very first day I got here, and she says it's cause she doesn't like me.

[hydralize]

If it pisses you off this much then fucking ask her why she doesn't like you and don't whine and argue when she tells you. Just listen.

[pencilpremonition]

She says I would've died if I was a Vulp. But that's not a reason to pick on me! Just cause I wouldn't've made it at Sabra doesn't mean it's okay to pick on me!

[hydralize]

You're a complete idiot if you really think that's why she doesn't like you.

[pencilpremonition]

It was... It started when I was telling her I couldn't fight.

You've seen it. You've seen me pass right the fuck out for no reason.

I was telling her that I couldn't fight and there was no point learning cause I'd just pass out randomly anyway, and she got all upset.

She said I was whining and refusing to learn and I wasn't. I just know my fucking limits.

[hydralize]

Look. Stop whining at me about this. I know you're only giving me the side of the story that makes you look best, and I don't want to spend hours bitching at you until you admit to the parts where you aren't completely innocent and perfect.

Go. Talk. To. Aella. Deal with it like a goddamn adult instead of some whining little girl.

[pencilpremonition]

But she won't talk to me. She just says a bunch of sarcastic stuff that doesn't mean anything and then flounces off.

[hydralize]

[snorts]

You know what? Nevermind this apology bullshit. I don't want to have to make my friends deal with someone as thick-headed and stubborn as you.

[pencilpremonition]

[sigh]

Fine, fine, I won't ask for your advice about her. That doesn't make everything else worthless.

[hydralize]

[rolls his eyes]

And how long is it gonna be before you think whining at me about some other problem is a good idea? Just because you apologize doesn't mean I'm gonna magically gain fucking patience for all the shit you like to pull.

[pencilpremonition]

Well maybe you'll have advice on it and maybe you'll tell me you don't and I'll stop talking about it.

[hydralize]

Maybe I'll give you advice and you'll whine about how it's pointless to even try it like you are right now.
