Day 1 Night

[12npcs]

[ Over the murmur of conversations, explorations and violent attempts at escape, there comes a sound tick tick tick tick tick.............. CLICK.... The sky above snaps across the dome from blue to black... and everything goes dark.

A glow comes from the front door of each of the inns and one by one, you can see street lanterns begin to light up steadily past each of the gates.

The only flickering, organic light comes from above in the tower, spluttering high, high above everyone, through the slats of the closed shutters. After a moment, it's gone. ]

Spontaneous transportation?

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[soul_sister]

[Seems to be giving this some serious consideration.]

Technically.

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[direstnews]

Behold. A better word choice appears.

You forgot to take one very important factor into account.

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[soul_sister]

ANTI-SMARTASS MANEUVERS.

[SPECIFICALLY A HEADLOCK AND NOOGIE.]

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[direstnews]

Peace! Peace! Your maneuvers are successful!

[Know what's awful for noogies? Cowls. It and the circlet are coming off in the most graceless of ways, leaving just a head of very noogied, very mussed hair.]

Sister Rosette, the eternal victor against sass triumphs again! [She lets go with a far more gentle pat.]

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[direstnews]

Though I would have you know, your victory stands only as a triumph of brute force.

[Brushes himself off, totally not sulking.]

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[soul_sister]

It has it's uses.

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[direstnews]

The oppression of wit.

[Totally still not sulking as he bends to retrieve the fallen circlet.]

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[soul_sister]

Only the misdirected kind~

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[direstnews]

If by "misdirected" you in fact mean "stunningly clever."
