Unfortunately... the fake bird does nothing.


DAILY STATUS EFFECT
DAILY STATUS EFFECT MARCH 11TH TRIALS CONCLUSION PART 1:

The kraken left very few castles alive: and even those that survived looked ready to fall apart any second, hanging on by their bare foundations. At last, seconds, minutes, hours later, the attack receded, as each tentacle, even the beaten and bludgeoned ones, retreated back into the ocean.

A moment of silence and then:

"All participants and spectators! The Trials of Famine portion is now closed and judging has commenced! All spectators can now take a thirty minute break before they will be promptly ask to return to their seats for the scoring results. All students in the trials will be returned to their regular - ahem - size and may also walk around, pat each other on the backs, and of course, assess the damage. Be mindful as you walk around of the judges that are looking at each structure. Don't forget to buy some last minute refreshments before you leave, now half prize until the end of the hour!"

True to the announcer's words, the students thankfully, found themselves returned rather happily to their normal compact humanoid forms. From their size, the damage to their castle looked even more abysmal: in fact it was a miracle that some of the structures even stood. That really, only a scant few structures stood.


OOC: REMAINING DAMAGE TALLY

- IF YOUR SANDCASTLE REMAINS STANDING, but you are out of turns and the kraken's HP is not at 0, before it left, its tentacle swings one particularly nasty blow as your castle simply COLLAPSES (INSTANT KO)! If you have a sea turtle you can save your castle, but unfortunately a pearl does nothing.


OOC: ALL


SPECTATORS:
- ALL SPECTATORS CAN NOW WALK AROUND and talk to the participants (By visiting any thread in this subforum marked OPEN). IF the thread is marked CLOSED, please do not enter it! Also please note which characters are entering an EXITING the thread. IF you are ENTERING the thread, please post at the top in bold, if you are EXITING the thread please do so as well. Make sure to quote whomever you are talking to!

TRIALS PARTICIPANTS:
- A few of you have survived three waves of onslaughts, though many of you have persevered to try your best! Congratulations! An overall tally will be made tomorrow, and points and rankings will be giving out ICly for each group. This will determine the advantage they get in the next Trials
- The next trials will not ICly be happening until MARCH 13TH 2012, so participants please take a few days to take a break, stretch, and enjoy that OOC world. I will post results tomorrow, once again, to which your student can post a reaction to IN THE SPECTATOR THREAD.
- After results have been posted, all TRIALS threads other than the SPECTATOR ONE will be closed off and archived to make way for the next Trials.
- At this point in time, students are welcome to show off the... remains (or not!) of their castle or wander around to see others. Simply post OPEN to open your thread to visitors, and EXIT and ENTER threads as you need to!
- IF YOUR CASTLE SURVIVED, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO EDIT THE FIRST POST OF YOUR THREAD AS IN BOLD RED SOMEWHERE: THE REMAINING HP VALUE OF YOUR CASTLE.
- ALL OTHER THREADS PLEASE UPDATE THE FRONT POST OF YOUR THREAD WITH THE REMAINING HP VALUE (0) OF YOUR CASTLE THANK YOU.
- IF team members have not rolled yet, subtract -5 HP from your kraken AND YOUR CASTLE for EACH time the team member did NOT roll. Apply the result, do the damage to your castle as necessary and update the first post with the FINAL HP.

Why. Of all places, why here. The sand was hot on his bare feet, the sun was hot on his shoulders, the air was hot against his skin. There was water, but even the water was warm. He didn't know that for certain. Really, he was just looking for things to complain about.

Maybe it was a show of defiance, or perhaps he just didn't care about his personal appearance, but Herryk was growing a pretty decent beard. Well, maybe not a full-on beard, but almost.

Also it was <********> hot outside. And because Herryk was feeling a little depressed, he'd also given up on any semblance of personal hygiene. Deoderant? <********> no. That combined with the heat, (being undead didn't help, either) Herryk was totally rank.

And he gave no ******** his arms over his chest, Herryk's attention was soon grabbed by the ruckus on the bleachers. Turning his haggard gaze in that direction, the draugr caught sight of Freya.

Zar was /not/ keen on the sun. At all. It was colourful, it was warm, it was horrible, and only made worse by the breeze and the sand which got everywhere. This was nothing like amityville and it was getting to him from the moment they arrived. Of course, being Zar, he didn't really have the stones to complain, so instead settled for scowling the whole time.

Though at least it was more tolerable than those moments on the stage. The incubus has felt like he was going to die as they were herded right out into the public eye while wearing /those outfits/. He wasn't sure how he'd been talked into wearing so little, but he could only thank his mother's influence on him for the fact he didn't combust at showing a little skin..or a lot. He could only hope with all his strength that neither of his parents were in the crowd, neither of them had had to see their son dressed in what amounted to little more than a loincloth.

His mother wouldn't care, but she'd tell his father, and his father...well his father would /slay/ him.

So his hands were shaking slightly as he sat in the sand, tail wrapped around himself in some vague attempt at modesty, certain that anything that showed off the rorschach test-like markings on his skin was utterly scandlous.

"Oh Jack this isn't good at all." The vague smell of Herryk was reassuring. At least it wasn't /sea breeze/.

Emily looked at the harsh human sun in a daze. It was so bright yet it could not compare to the shining glory of Johnny Danger.

Jumping up on Herryk, Mr. Monty batted at his cheek, "Hey is the bird your ghoul? She's kind of out of your league, but don't worry, we can get that shitty fake bird ornament. It looks more your type any way, isn't that right, you stupidly massive lump of carrion? I'm right aren't I...maybe if you're real good we can tie some boobs on it and you'll get second base today. You'd like that wouldn't you..."

Herryk quietly scruffed Mr. Monty before holding the familiar in front of his face so that the undead could get a better look at the horrible little thing. Herryk wasn't bright enough or peppy enough to even attempt coming up with a scathing retort.

Instead he just... sat the familiar down on the ground and got to work on their sandcastle.

He might've sniffled a little bit.

Maybe.

Nuru was in no such dour mood and took to giddily romping about the beach. He didn't seem to mind his groups uniform at all either - such a lovely sea breeze to be felt!

After settling down a bit at the mere concept of BEACH, he offered Zar a Frisbee and a hopeful stare with his big red eyes. Jack knows where he got it from.

JD squinted dourly. The glasses he wore weren't so much glasses as they were horrible magnifiers of light.

But they really set off his eyes.

He glanced at Herryk and the castle, but the breeze between his, ah, cheeks, reminded him that his current wardrobe conundrum was probably not best mixed with sand. Nuru and Zar seemed to have found their own way of occupying themselves.

He risked a glance at Emily. Did she hear half the s**t that crazy talking cat of hers was saying? He wouldn't admit it, but he was secretly glad Herryk was the current foci of it's ridicule.

Harsh.

Zar gave Nuru a very dismal look, still self conciously hugging himself.

"No."

Nuru pouted even further, "No? Ahve been a good boil, right? Don't ah deserve this?"

He was laying it on thick. Hopefully thick enough.

In an impressive amount of time, Herryk had formed a rather large skull out of sand.

It seemed to be a rather adept representation of how he was feeling at the moment.

"Did anyone bring sunscream," the draugr asked dully. "Herryk forgot."

The world seemed to grow a little more dismal.

Johnny Danger's attractiveness while wearing glasses made Emily weak in the knees. Fortunately she landed right beside the sandcastle rather than on it. Averting her eyes from his blue pectorals, she tried to focus on on helping Herryk with the building. After awhile her "help" took on the form of a rather accurate little sand sculpture of Johnny Danger, complete with guitar and stage sneer.

While the witch worked, the familiar played overseer. The cat making scathing criticisms, snapping out orders, and providing the occasional bit of negative reinforcement whenever he thought the draugr was slacking.

However at the request for sunscream, Mr. Monty thoughtfully replied, "I think I know where I can get some, big guy, be right back."

A few minutes later, the cat sauntered back and dropped something at Herryk's feet.

JD stared at the cat.

Then he stared at the condiment.

Shrug. He grabbed their real fake bird, stabbed it with a piece of wood, and stabbed THAT through the skull.

Herryk's protracted and hard work crumbled slightly. not unlike his heart. As JD stepped back to admire his handiwork, he noticed Emily's little effigy of him - was she some sort of voodoo queen? Was she going to stab needles into him? Why did that idea suddenly seem kind of hot?

Confusion. Must be all the jackdamned sun. Perhaps he should borrow some of that body butter when Herryk was done with it.

While Mr. Monty oh-so-graciously wandered off to find Herryk some sunscream, the draugr busied himself slapping on a few pieces of seaweed. After that, he started on the moat.

It would be a fantastic moat. A moat as deep as the sorrow in his soul. A moat... okay, this depression s**t was getting a liiiiiitle out of hand.

When Mr. Monty returned with the yellow box of sunscream, Herryk graciously thanked the familiar. Maybe he wasn't so bad. Maybe he was just a troll stuck in a little catbody. Either way, he'd brought some sunscream back with him, and honestly, that was all that mattered.

Seeing how Nuru and Zar were distracted, and not really even considering Emily an option, Herryk shuffled through the sand and held out the sunscream.

"JD, Herryk would appreciate some help in applying this to Herryk's shoulders and back." Ripping open the box, Herryk tore the paper off of one of the cubes and began smearing the stuff all over his chest and neck.

Obvs. Herryk didn't know what butter was, and the box even said it wasn't butter.

"Strange packaging," the draugr muttered, the words muffled as he squished notbutter all over his face.

Zar maintained his look of nonplussedness but threw the frisbee for Nuru anyway.

As soon as he did though, he got up and walked away in case the dog boil decided to bring it back and try and make this into a /game/. Instead he brushed off some sand and wandered over to the castle in progress, eyeing it curiously. At least he got the idea of what the moat was meant to be, eyeing it thoughtfully.

He'd /like/ to help. But claws were so easily blunted.

He poked the sand with a hoof.

JD took one of the cubes. He guessed this was what they considered teamwork. Whatever, it meant he didn't have to touch sand, and maybe he could get Herryk to return the favor, right? Man, why did this sunscream smell so delicious? He pulled a chunk off and smeared it across the other boils shoulders, making sure to rub it in well - after all, he wouldn't want his team to get all burnt up before the trials started.

The lotion started dripping down his back, though. Whoops. Maybe he'd used too much. He caught a bit with the tip of his finger and licked it thoughtfully. He just couldn't believe this WASN'T butter. Whatever, time to make the big guy put the motion in the ocean with the potion in the lotion, or however that saying went, and return the favor.

Rubbing the excess onto his own chest, he called, "Ok, all done, now do me."
