Vegetable Invasion || End
The rabid vegetables and fruits from the past few days had been relentless in their attacks. Day after day everyone had to either flee or fight their way past those uncanny foes.
But as it turned to midnight, by the light of the not-quite-full moon, slowly the produce stopped in their tracks and flopped over, the small bodies lying still in their place, some most likely hidden by the blanket of leaves that still covered most of the city and village. By mid-morning, the streets, pathways, store aisles, and rooms would be covered with whatever was left of the rogue harvest, and the locals slowly began to clean up the mess. Perhaps some of it could be salvaged, but it was highly unlikely that anyone would want to try to eat any of these vegetables.
What had caused them to go sour? Had it been another one of the world's crazy episodes? Or had there been some other force at work? A farmer's experiment gone bad? The answer still remained unclear and perhaps no one would be able to find an answer.
Everyone would also find something else around the city. Posters and flyers with the following message were posted everywhere -- windows, doors, posts. Some may have even received a message on their Dreamberry or in the mail. Regardless of the method, they all read the same thing:
COLISEUM NOW OPEN
Itching to test your skills against the toughest fighters in all of Somarium? Want to show your might by defeating round after round of monsters for the chance to win great prizes? Then come to the Coliseum located on the floating mountain!*
* use the teleportation pad by the northeastern side of the lake.
NOW HIRING!
[ooc: This marks the official end of the vegetable invasion event, and an official IC notice about the Coliseum.
Also, we are still in the three-fourth moon cycle, and it will last until Tuesday, Nov. 30.]
