[ Nepeta's first reaction is anger.

It's not so much the threat of death, or even that someone's playing games with her, but that whoever it is decided to play them now. Still, if she's just been moved from one fight to another, at least this one's in an environment she's more used to ( Read more... )

[The moment he wakes up, Bro hoists himself to his feet, looks around, grabs the bag beside him, and climbs a tree. He doesn't like being out in the open--even in a forest--for any longer than is absolutely necessary. Not to mention his clothes have been swapped out, lame, and he's missing his sunglasses. He's not sticking around somewhere just ( Read more... )

[Survival of the fittest, huh? Well that would be easy for a high powered psionic like himself, right ( Read more... )

[The sun has begun to rise, painting the sky a pale, streaky orange, and at 6:00 AM on the dot, just as promised, the speakers around the island turn on. The game's been going on for six hours so far. A familiar robot voice begins speaking- it does not sound happy in its monotonous way.]

No prisoners were going to be taken - kill or be killed. Though the fact that her weapon upon inspection was useless did not fair well. She would still ( Read more... )

[very well, then. the Disciple receives the message without dismay or fear, but acceptance. most of her rather miserable life has been a game of survival with just a few bright spots; if this is the next of her trials, she'll meet it with dignity ( Read more... )

[That announcement had quite literally made Feferi feel ill. It wasn't the concept of killing so much; she knew full well where all those lusii that she fed G'bolgy'b had come from. Keeping her lusus quiet had meant the deaths of countless trolls. If this had been Alternia? Even there, a thing like this wouldn't surprise her, especially not if it ( Read more... )

[Yeah, okay, the Summoner's pretty fucking pissed off right now. It's not just the collar, although that alone would be enough - he doesn't need another reminder of his status in the current regime, thanks. Still, he could deal with that, he's spent enough sweeps fighting the metaphorical collar that a physical one can't be that hard to get rid of ( Read more... )
