Who: Everyone
When: Wednesday September 7
Where: The Forest
What: Punishment Game
Warnings: PG



You find yourself in a forest with another strange note attached to you.

Dear Prince or Princess, Because you failed to kiss someone, we are going to punish you appropriately. It seems some of you don't want to listen to our direction, and honestly, we are tired of you ignoring the orders of our fair and wonderful Rulers. However, there is a cabin that may or may not send you back to your districts Pink, Blue, Green See the fairies, oh so stitched But one fairies is not so keen She'll poke you Then you'll be in a ditch. Yours, Justice and Judgement

THE GAME: You've been transported to the forest and the animals are feeling restless so you must fight your way through the forest to a small cabin. In this cabin will be four fairy dolls on a table. They will all look the same, wearing a cute pink dress with glittery wings. However, there is one fairy doll that is filled with needles and will poke you if you pick it up, thus sending you back to the beginning. The mods will be randomly picking numbers 1-4 to decide if you get the right one or the wrong one.

But how, do you say are you to play this out in a log: You have full use of your communicators. You may use this post to contact anyone who posts to it to assist them from home, or in the forest. Additionally, people who are not punished may come into the forest, but when they do, they are automatically turned into fairies of blue, pink or green (players choice) and will have to stay that way for the duration of the event.

The punishment for not completing this is having clothes that change from Pink, Green and Blue. But that's not all: the colors will change your mood, as well.

Pink: Overly cheerful and loving, you'll do anything just for a little HUG~~
Blue: Overly sad, you're crying over everything. Honestly, who knew that bunnies eating carrots could be so upsetting!
Green: Overly jealous and angry, you don't know why but you are just jealous about everything and it makes you so so mad!

If there are any questions, please direct them to the OOC comment below, or to the mod email!

BRING IT ON.

[fools_journey]

This was hardly the first time Minato's ability to just pick up fighting with whatever weapon was available so long as it wasn't a knife or a gun came in handy. Nonetheless, he wasn't complaining as he made use of a solid fallen branch he'd found to do his best in fending off the assaulting wildlife. Moreover, he was developing a new appreciation for his tail and its usefulness as an additional weapon. Still, the costume inflicted upon him was hardly suited for battle, and so he'd taken the liberty of, in a lull in the creature, removing its sleeves, with they're irritatingly puffy shoulders.

But whatever his state of dress, Minato had a firm grip on his branch and was determined to get out of here, as he poked his way through the forest, ready for anything...

[majorarc]

Until a very mean, giant bear comes to attack you! This bear looks very angry you've invaded his home, but he's rather big, so he'll probably be slow. Good luck, lets see how close you get.

[fools_journey]

Good thing Minato has a branch at the ready! If the bear wants to eat him, it's going to have to fight for it. Still, Minato knows better than to just charge headlong at a giant bear. Therefore, taking advantage of its slowness, Minato does his best to dodge around it, using trees as obstacles to put between himself and the bear. Unfortunately, though the bear is relatively slow, it also is very giant and not stopped by trees. Moreover, it seems particularly displeased with Minato's presence in its wood. Which, of course, means only one thing: Minato must face the bear.

He's somewhat out of practice, as although he's kept up with exercises with a sword, that's rather different from nightly forays into a vast tower full of monsters, but luckily it hasn't been so long that he's lost all instinct. He's able to dodge enough of the bear's swipes not to get himself killed as he smashes the bear in the face with his branch. But when he does get clawed, it hurts like hell and once again Minato has a strong appreciation for how nice it would be to be able to access his personas here. Still, he manages to give the bear enough splinters in the face and a nice jab in the eye to keep it distracted with the blood and blindly flailing at whatever's in front of it to give himself a chance to run.

And run he does (or at least he tries - he's definitely limping), because he's bleeding pretty well from claws across one arm, and there is an unfortunate chunk of flesh missing from his calf. The scales on his tail were enough to protect it from too much damage, but a couple of the fins are ripped now, but he finds he doesn't care too much with the adrenaline pumping through and the need to find the stupid cabin in the middle of the woods...

No worries, though. It'll catch up to him eventually.

[majorarc]

That's just great that you got away, but not so great you're bleeding. Oh well, you can probably see the cabin from here, but not before you get stopped by rather large cluster of spiders. They won't bite or anything, but they will get in your way...

[fools_journey]

Minato has no patience for spiders. Once he's rested up a bit, he presses on - perhaps even literally because he's going to step on spiders if they're in the way and head for that cabin. And once there, he's going to check it carefully and then head inside for those dolls.

[get_the_win]

Okay, so he was finally starting to get the hang of flying. Kind of. He still wasn't very good at it but at least he spent more time actually airborne than he spent smacking into trees now. Still couldn't land very well but falling on your face from a few inches off the ground hurt a lot less than doing so from a few feet off the ground. So when he hears yet another person, he manages to fly over to investigate without opening himself up to attack. Still, he made enough of a noise when he attempted to land that it would be pretty obvious that something or someone was nearby.

((ooc: This can be before or after Minato gets away from the bear, whichever you'd prefer.))

[fools_journey]

((ooc: going with after, and see above if you want the details of his bear fight! ... I might have rolled a dice for how badly the fight goes. You like to torture characters with clothing. I like to do so with physical injury, apparently! A-anyway. ))

With the bear distracted by a branch in the face, Minato's managed to get away, and limping and leaving a trail of blood from his injuries. He's not too happy about the trail, but he doesn't trust the bear not to follow him, so he tries to put some space between them before at last he takes the opportunity to sink to the ground against a tree and examine his injuries properly. He's got a good set of claw marks across his left arm and left leg, as well as some shredding of some of the fins on his tail. A couple scales look like the might have been torn off, too. Thankfully it's nothing so major as to be debilitating, and he's grateful no major tendons seem to have been severed - mostly just muscle. It's not great, of course, to have injuries like that, but it's better than shredded ligaments or torn major arteries. He's just beginning to do his best to rip his ridiculous shirt as best he can to try to make bandages to staunch the bleeding, however, when a glow catches his eyes and a bit of noise catches his ears, and Minato snaps his head up to stare, just about glaring at the fairy who is apparently horrible at landing.

"What now..." He reaches for his bloody stick...

[get_the_win]

Well, that didn't go as planned. At least he was able to confirm that it was indeed a person over there, and not that darn wolf that had decided he looked delicious. But the last thing he wanted was to get hit with that stick, so he quickly came out of his hiding place.

"Hold on! It's me!"

He stopped then, staring in shock for a moment. From where he had been hiding, he hadn't been able to tell just how bad Minato's injuries were.

"What happened!?"

[fools_journey]

Hearing the familiar voice, Minato paused, peering closer at the fairy. And then his eyes widened as he realized it was the guy he'd met once before from the tower.

"Domon...?" He paused again and lowered the stick. "Ah, I... ran into bear. ... I'd ask what happened to you, but it seems obvious."

[pawsitively]

Nepeta hadn't intentionally ignored the Rulers. She just hadn't ... wanted to play their game. Not that one. It just smelled fishy and weird. She hadn't liked it at all. And now, she was thinking if 'punishment' came in the form of these games maybe it wasn't so bad. She had been itching to go into the forest and see what was lurking in there so this worked out perfectly! Even if the animals were restless and ready to fight, she liked this much better. If only she had her claws and were familiar with the terrain .. but that might have made it too easy.

This was a challenge! She was going to show those Rulers what she was made of!

[majorarc]

Aw, aren't you adorable! Well, of course they weren't just going to let you walk on in, but watch out for that rather large wolf coming towards you. Lets see how close you can get to that cabin.

[get_the_win]

He had been slowly learning how to use the insect-like wings he'd somehow ended up with since he came into the forest, but he wasn't exactly good at using them yet. Or even mediocre at using them. In fact, he couldn't really use them at all yet, at least not without tumbling face first into a tree. Still, the wings had already proved useful for some quick dodges whenever one of the forest animals decided he would make a nice meal. So when he thought he heard someone else close by, he decided to fly over and investigate. Only he went a little too high too fast, and his attempt to correct that resulted in a tumble that caused him to crash land by Nepeta.

((ooc: This can happen before or after she gets away from the wolf, whichever you'd prefer!))

[pawsitively]

((Let's saaay before! Since she doesn't exactly have a weapon right now.))

She could smell the wolf. It almost had a similar scent to Bec Noir, which was terrifying, but she had to remind herself that he was not here. It was just a woofbeat. A very angry and big woofbeast. She kept running for a while, trying to think of what to do. She wasn't completely sure how she would fair without any weapons but this would not be the first beast she wrestled with! So, she turned around ready to face it when -- SOMETHING??? Crash landed beside her!

"Hauh??" Between her frantic looking from the incoming wolf to the something, she noticed it was a little human. One with wings! "Gasp! Are you okay??" She called to Domon, but glanced back in the direction of the wolf.

[get_the_win]

"Yeah, I'm fine." He'd had worse than that before after all. He was just thankful that she wasn't something that would want to eat him. Being this small made you snack sized for a lot of the forest creatures.

He stood up again, and followed her glance. Wasn't hard to figure out she was being chased by something. "What's after you?"

[pawsitively]

Nepeta let off a sigh of relief; that was very good to hear. She then perked up at his next question.

"Heehee, A woofbeast." Er, what was the human word for it... "A wolf, I mean." And she looked positively delighted about it.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong in this.

[bluesteelranger]

A...note. Or rather, in his perception, a piece of paper stuck to him. And he's in the middle of a forest, from the sounds of it. Making a face and quite really "facepalming", Renne gives an indignant chirp, folds up his note and puts it behind his left ear.

Rising to walk and thus, utilise his new cane, the oddity gives a call. Perhaps someone could read this damnable thing and he'd have an idea of what just occurred.

"Hellow?"

[majorarc]

Hello! It looks like that cane may be put to good use, you've got a wolf coming towards you, so you better hurry up and get to that cabin!

[bluesteelranger]

A wolf growl... In the back of his mind, Renne's sarcasm serves as a reminder. How apropos that it should be a wolf he faces -- a wolf had turned once and now it turns again. Standing straight and perking his ears forward, the oddity keeps his movements slow and calculated.
He can't dare to turn his back on the beast -- Never turn your back on a predator. Or a Human -- yet not sure if he can turn back to get out of this forest.

What to do.. Think. Slowly. Slowly...

His cane tip skitters in front of him; the cane itself held at about forty five degrees. His steps carry him forward, rounding a few trees and hopefully, the wolf. But ultimately, forward.

[majorarc]

Well, it looks like you evaded that easily enough. How about we try something new? It looked like a group of birds is going to follow you and try to peck at you.

[get_the_win]

After wondering around the forest for a while, Domon finally heard what sounded like a person. So he went towards it, finding the strange blue...person he'd spoken to before. But while they were still in their prince outfit, they remained physically unchanged. So why were they still normal while he was stuck as a fairy? Well, he wasn't going to find out by just standing there. But first he needed to get their attention.

"Hey! You over there!"

[bluesteelranger]

"Eee? Eee, wherrre yeu is?"

He hears that easily enough. Half-turning, Renne's ears give a perk-twitch to orient himself. Locking in soon enough, the oddity navigates toward the call he'd just answered. And yes, he's still got that odd note with him. Maybe this guy could read it and...well. Two heads better than one?

[get_the_win]

"I'm ov- ...down here!" He'd started to say 'over here' but thought better of it. Since he was currently only a foot tall, it was probably best to warn the other to watch his feet.

"What are you doing here?"

[get_the_win]

He had kissed someone, but only to save them from the Rulers. And they were just a kid too. So that meant it wasn't a real kiss right? No, of course not! Doing something because you cared about someone and doing something to save someone from having to go through something horrible was two completely different things.

Still, the events of the last few days had made him restless. The forest was still a place of peace for him, he just made sure to stay far away from the castle now. The animals might be more aggressive than normal, but that just made his training more interesting.

So, the forest is where he went to try and work off his restlessness. Except he had no idea he was interrupting the Ruler's little game. He knew the moment he entered the forest that something was wrong. The atmosphere was just different somehow and...had those trees gotten taller?

Wait, the trees weren't taller, he had gotten smaller. And then he noticed that there were now insect-like wings sprouting from his back.

"What on Earth!?"

Well, he seemed to be stuck like this now, since leaving the forest again didn't have any affect. Might as well look around the forest a bit to see if he could find out what was going on.

[majorarc]

You really need to stop getting in trouble, wolf. We aren't even doing anything!!
