[/center] Our first deaths! RIP to Nimblr and Decay :( I can just imagine Nimblr annoying Kuura so much she just gets out a shovel and hits the automation until it stops Also, @/CrytpidHours, I love that artwork so much! Really captures the energy of the event lol To @/Chillypeper, you’ll be given the prize of first death at the end alongside the winner + top killer at the end of the event Feel free to give a response to the bloodbath round if you haven’t already and want to, or RP to this one without doing the one before, no need to go in chronological order. As said, I’m tired so will sort stuff out later. To those who have died: let me know if you still want to be on any pinglists, you will be removed otherwise

kjgndkfjg DAMNIT
rngesus really said "there will be no joke characters in this game"

@RosyWindFox @/LemonySnaket and thank you! Been a while since I've drawn anything, so I'm glad I could muster something up, even if for a single (1) instance
As for future pings, I'd like to be pinged only for final round/results!

@CryptidHours When I saw that Nimblr died I thought "Noooo the anklebiter :("
It was lovely to rp with you ever if only once

Noooo ;-;
I didn't think my dragon would win, but first death is rough lol.
I can imagine Decay being so annoying she'd get herself killed though.
GG y'all and good luck!

[s]@ Kuura @ Vincent which head?[/s] [emoji=aberration laughing size=1]

[quote name="Bxy26" date="2022-03-30 16:49:38" ] [s]@ Kuura @ Vincent which head?[/s] [emoji=aberration laughing size=1] [/quote] HELP THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT (which makes me wonder, if a single head of an Aberration's dies, is cut off, etc, but the rest of the body survives the attack/accident fine, what does that do to the Aberration? will a new head start forming in time? will the second head go crazy without the first? QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERS.) Having a hatchling's heads bashed in is brutal, though, poor thing :') I liked his chaotic energy too, lol. Tartaros seems to be prioritising filling his belly, since he wisely chose to get away as fast as possible, but fighting on an empty stomach is a bad idea. And he fashioned himself a spear, so he already has a weapon. Good for my boy!

[quote name="Bxy26" date="2022-03-30 16:49:38" ] [s]@ Kuura @ Vincent which head?[/s] [emoji=aberration laughing size=1] [/quote] Glad it wasn't just me, Vincent outdid himself :o And nooo, the poor baby automaton ;-;

[b] Bloodbath & round 1[/b] Kuura was annoyed. From the moment she arrived to the party she could immediately sense that she was far from being the only one willing to kill to get her way. It still took her by surprise how fast the entire event devolved into chaos. Dragons running for cover, running for weapons, hoarding resources and some even fighting already. Well, she wasn't going to be left out of it. Taking a look around her, Kuura quickly spots two nearby items that could be to her advantage... [quote][center][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/battlesprites/84670/8466938.png[/img] Kuura snatches a bottle of alcohol and a tablecloth.[/center][/quote] Ah, yes: Molotov cocktails. She'd stash these somewhere to use later when she'd need them. Sneaking away from the eye of the proverbial storm, Kuura quickly shoves the makeshift explosives into a nearby flowerbed. All of a sudden her antennae pick up on an odd presence, and almost simultaneously the strangest little shriek fills her ears. A... [i]something[/i] crawls out of the bushes she just used as a weapon stash, seemingly playing a tug-o-war with itself and using her carefully stolen tablecloth as a rope! "HEY!" Kuura yells at the little hooligan running circles around her feet, "that's MY cloth!" Trying in vain to catch the rowdy thief that seems to zoom right out of her talons every time she grabs at it, Kuura groans in frustration. That's when she notices a rack of gardening tools a little to her side. Her eyes glazed over with fury, she grabs the first one her paw catches and swiftly brings it down in front of the tiny menace.

It staggers on its feet, still not letting go of the tablecloth. Determined to get back what's hers, Kuura gives the delinquent a couple more whacks until she's sure it will no longer bother her. Satisfied, she takes the tablecloth back to herself and puts it back to the flowerbed with the bottle of alcohol. Well, she didn't wake up today thinking she'd have to kill a kid. But good gods, [i]that thing was just SO annoying.[/i] ----- Mentioned: @CryptidHours! rip to Nimblr, honestly love their little gremlin energy

The lands that she wanders are usually desert frontiers, and this pocket of greenery in the midst of the Waste is truly mystical. She busies herself with gathering flowers and food after fleeing the table; better to make a good first impression on the Comtesse after some preparation than blunder right up to her. She gathers up materials around a structure that could have once been marginally related to a gardening shed. At the moment, it's been almost entirely consumed by the rosebushes around it. Maeve carefully maneuvers around the thorns to store what few supplies she has in a cache, hidden away from plain sight. She's busy tracing a claw along the edge of an obscure flower-- [i]the name is on the tip of my tongue, it's "pink something"--[/i] when she hears a [i]thud[/i] in the direction of her impromptu camp. When she charges back, she hesitates at the edge of a clearing before peering out. There is a ragged hole of considerable size in the rosebushes surrounding her cache, as if someone had slashed right through them. "You!" She calls after the two shapes she can see thundering through the brush: one blur of dark armor, and the other flickering blue. "Get back here, you--" Words fail her, and she slumps back against a hedge. Maeve knows exactly what she needs to do to get back on her feet, but can't force herself to move until a few long minutes later. She gets up carefully and quietly, stalking the garden for her next hideaway. --- Mentioned: Maeve tells @Nihilis 's Ripley and @Clouddust 's Foxfire to get off her lawn (unsuccessfully, of course).

[url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/76091233][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/760913/76091233_350.png[/img][/url] Plants grabbed and stored, Foxfire decides she's probably going to move on: there's nothing on the tables themselves she can use as a weapon, aside from possibly smashing a jar or plate over someone's head. Using magic is certainly not going to happen, not unless as a last resort. She needs something physical. Wandering into the greenhouse proper, taking care to avoid the other dragons scattered about, she looks around until something catches her eye: a shed! A shovel and rake is not an ideal weapon, but it'll have to do. The sprawling thorns and roses that strangle it also stir up an idea in her mind - if she's careful, and with the help of the smallest magic, she can use the plants as armour. Picking up a... branch? Vine? She was never good with remembering her plants - she begins to bite through it carefully. Once a section is pulled off, she turns her attentions to tying it carefully to her wings, using a small spell to prevent them from digging into her. The ambient magic causes the docile wisps around her to glow more brightly - it'll probably attract unwanted attentions, but better to have to risk fighting or fleeing than not being able to keep an eye on her magic levels. Foxfire continues for a while, getting absorbed in her task. She almost forgets the situation she's in, until something tells her [i]danger, danger! Turn around![/i]. Suddenly half paralysed after realising what a predicament she might be in, she turns slowly, ever so slowly... And comes face to face with a gaoler twice her size [rule] The shed Foxfire goes to is @dragonpals' Maeve and the gaoler she faces is @Nihilis' Ripley!
