Lumi moved slightly, feeling a bit of pain and slightly sore. Did she fall asleep. Rubbing her eyes a bit she looked around do the boil run off to see something shiny? Hearing the loud speaker she leaned out to see the screens. "Hey...are you uhm here?"She felt horrible for having forgotten his name but she was hoping he didn't noticed if he was indeed still around the area. As she scanned the crowd she saw the ghoul she met earlier. Oh bones...what was her name. Shrugging it off she would just play stupid if she came over.

Grimacing and tensing from the hug, Shun was rather glad when Freya finally got off of him to go play with Mitsu. Letting out a huff, he brushed off some of the sand on himself, then looked back at Shenny. Were the outsiders to the academy never informed of what was going on here or something? She was now the second to ask something of this nature. "It's because the school is trying to gain favor with the horsemen. Not the other way around. The heirs have all already graduated from the academy," he said with a frown. Then, noticing a large shadow looming over head, he turned to see numerous tentacles surrounding the island. A kraken had arrived, as the announcer mentioned. And at least one of the castles had been demolished by the tentacles already.

Though the crowd roared behind her, Lailah was a bit clueless to the current situation. She culdn't help to voerhear a part of the conversation, which left her wondering. She tipped her head thoughtfully to the side, "Heirs..?" She quoted aloud. With a puzzled frown, she tried to think back to the rumors she had heard of.. "Horsemen.. war.. trial.. school.. food.. dessert.."
Yet, none of that made any sense to her. She had been distracted, and her mind had often wandered off to other ideas.
Then she lighted up, as if she had come to the definitive conclusion. "The heirs need to graduate from sandcastles!"
It made perfect sense! That was why everyone was cheering!

Kekoa looked up at the screens to see that the students in the trails were fighting a kraken now. "Come you can do it!" He screamed then ran back over to Lumi who had fallen asleep. His tail wagged quickly as he smiled. "I'm back! I found a hermit crab! I'm gonna call him tony! Say hello, tony!" He said as he held out the tiny hermit crab out to show the ghoul.

Mitsu smiled as Freya skipped off to look for shells turning to Poke and giving a nod. " I would love for you to...help." The lycan trailed off as the shadows cast over the island and she looked around a little bewildered at the large tentacle like arms. Slowly, as if she might be spotted if she moved too quickly, she crawled back under the umbrella and curled up next to her reaper. Maybe she would work on the sandcastle a little later when it was safer.

"Our trials are more than sandcastles." A papery voice rustled from the back of the audience, where Aisa had recently entered. She was still standing, near the edge, fingers straightening her long black locks into a loose flow down her back. She didn't particularly care for this human environment, it reminding her so much of the island she so despised. She spotted Connie in the crowd, focusing her glazed gaze back on the show before them.
A kraken now .. Naturally, the clan could have requested such a monstrous presence.
There was a frown set deep on her expression, the tension of her posture withdrawn into a curled up ball. She only focused on the trials the students fare through with half an eye, at most, turning her focus on various clan members situated throughout the crowd. her eyelashes lowered, in a suspicious gaze, her fingers running along her hourglass tied to her waist.

With Mitsu back by his side, Shun glanced over and placed an arm around her. He had doubts that the kraken would do anything to the spectators. It was here as a part of the trials after all. Watching as a few more castles were leveled, he glanced off to the side to see Aisa appearing in the region. Grimacing a bit, he just turned his attention back towards the chaos on the shore.

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!

"That could have been far more interesting." Invictus commented calmly, seeming to have immediately gravitated towards one of the few people who could make him cross a room for company - one of his girls. Aisa - Death, the oldest of the four. Delightfully dark, and always lovely. He truly did get to have the best company.
"But it is entertaining to watch them play at things." he added thoughtfully - almost fondly, though the fondness - any warmth he had - was not for the event, but rather for his company.

Lumi looked at the boil he was different but it was okay she actually enjoyed his company. Standing up and watching the screens she winced. Those poor students having worked so hard just to watch their castles be destroyed. Listening to the announcer she smiled. Then turning back to the boil who was holding out a crab. "Tony? Well nice to meet you Tony..."Touching the shell tentatively, slightly afraid of it's weird appearance. "Well..did you want to look around or stay here hidden in the lifesaving shade?"She could feel her ears, tails, and nose were very sore on the tips but still had no idea what was wrong with them. Touching her nose slightly she winced, if this was the human world they could have it.

EXITING Tomoko wasn't wasting any time after the three waves were over to run out to the one sandcastle (or now lack of sandcastle) she'd been intending to visit before she'd gotten distracted by her reunion with Frost in the Storm.
"Jack, Frost-kun! We should go see how Jove-kun did!" she puffed up determinedly before she booked it out of the stands and onto the sands.

EXITING
She didn't leave much to argue about did she?
Picking himself up, he ran after the kitsune, as lithe as an arrow in a hurricane, his feet stumbling through the sands after the golden fur in front of him, watching for any clue that she was about to fall a**-over-tea kettle. In his hurry, he could only get a few words out in front of him, his booming voice calling out;
"Tomo, don't run too hard, you may fall!"

EXITING
Looking at Tomoko getting up to see her friends, King nodded. It was a better plan than he had, having only acquaintances really and having little placed into the contest. Jack followed and well- King figured why not.

((entering))
“What WAS-” he very nearly shouted, the usually stoic man's expression changing suddenly into one that was outraged. He was on his feet, standing there, open mouthed. He did not just see that.
“Oh I'm sure it's nothing serious dear,” assured his wife, who looked suspiciously a lot like somebody, “Calm down and have another drink. You're getting too heated up as it is already~” And then it happened. The boil had just swept the ghoul up into a princess carry and her hand flew to cover her mouth. She eyed her husband at the corner of her eyes.
His expression was sullen.
He was staring.
._______________.
Edel, still a little dazed, blinked at the two of them for a good few seconds. “I think you should put me down,” she whispered to Shirtless!andoverlyhappyMoure, her tone a little monotonous, and most definitely tired.
“Who are you?” the man asked sternly, his arms folded. His wife was shifting glances between him and the couple.
Whelp.
s**t just got real.

((Entering with Edel))
Moure might've been humming when he'd reached the refreshment table with Edel in his arms. Everything was enveloped in a halo of happiness, his unlife was beautiful; they'd defeated the kraken, their sandcastle hadn't been completely destroyed, and Edel had kissed him on the cheek. Nothing could ruin this moment.
And then, ohwow that lady in the crowd nearby really looked like Edel. And That man next to her looked kind of...unhappy. And they were coming closer. And then Edel whispered to him to put her down, and he gently set her on her feet. His expression immediately fell to one of concern. Had he done something wrong? Maybe she just didn't like being carried? Was she feeling worse?
He was about to ask her if she was feeling alright, but then the man spoke, and the proverbial gears in Moure's head started whirling. And finally they clicked into the correct processing. It took a few moments, and then they came up with the suitable answer, "Oh, these people must be Edel's family." Which then lead to the impression of, "Ohcrud I was just carrying a demon's daughter in front of her parents" followed by "DJAKLSD I'M DOOMED"
Moure blinked, swallowing (which automatically meant he was nervous) for a moment as if to clear his throat. His eyes flickered from Edel to Edel's mother, who really did look just like her, the similarities were astonishing, to Edel's father. He would've offered his hand for a shake, but for some reason that really didn't seem like a good idea. Instead he gave the very powerful looking demon a mix between a bow and a nod. And really, really hoped this didn't go over like the incident with Oersted.
After he straightened back up, he tried to look and sound as proper and polite as he could. (The fact that they were at a beach and he didn't have a shirt on really wasn't helping the situation though.) "My name is Moure Koure. You must be Edel's parents. It's, ah, a pleasure to meet you both."
...Yup, Moure was doomed.
