Who: All the good little anti-entropy engine girls and boys and others
Where: On the way back towards the dorms
When: Day 258, evening, so very shortly after Good Ends
What:

[As the festivities end and it’s time to head back to dorms, there seems to hang an uneasy feeling that has nothing to do with bittersweet goodbyes. The particularly astute may notice an uncomfortable stillness about; not a living thing is out and active, save the Blanks. Even the river seems stilled, as if holding its breath. The more sensitive can probably feel it coming, whatever it is. Even the insensitive may find something about the walk home distasteful.]

Spear! Do you know where everyone is?

As far as I know everyone was in the dorm when it happened or on their way back. The last person I've been searching for is you.

[Of course.]

Right. Then let's get back, in case things aren't done.

[whoops ignore previous I CAN TOTALLY RP!!]

Yes.

[Heading back. Is a Companion, can keep a pretty good pace.]

[tense, silent walking then, I guess. discussion can wait until we're both safe(?) inside the dorm.]

[identity profile] lone_centurion.insanejournal.com 2011-08-01 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
[SO very tense. And dubious safety is better than not safety.]

[But it shouldn't take too long to get back...?]

[probably feels longer than it takes, considering how on edge we are. :|b]

[P-probably.]

[But all the sighs of relief when we are back.]

[even Itachi looks visibly relieved to be back inside]

That should be all of us now.

Good. Then no one was taken then...

Re: [Everywhere]

[identity profile] lone_centurion.insanejournal.com 2011-08-01 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
[All the more relief.]

...if this is happening, we might have to move again.

I thought the South Block was the last block, and the Judges had left us here to be taken.

I know there was a block before Lynx even arrived that people moved from. Everyone thought we'd just be left to be taken because we thought this area was certain death...

Re: [Everywhere]

[identity profile] spiltbloodlines.insanejournal.com 2011-08-01 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
It might still be. Those empty dorms are abandoned for a reason.

Re: [Everywhere]

[identity profile] lone_centurion.insanejournal.com 2011-08-01 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
But they definitely want us alive...

Re: [Everywhere]

[identity profile] spiltbloodlines.insanejournal.com 2011-08-01 11:06 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe they've already summoned a new batch to play for them elsewhere. We were banned from going North, weren't we? Who's to say there aren't fresh blanks living and playing there now?

Re: [Everywhere]

[identity profile] lone_centurion.insanejournal.com 2011-08-01 11:16 am (UTC)(link)
Why get new ones and waste the energy?

Re: [Everywhere]

[identity profile] spiltbloodlines.insanejournal.com 2011-08-02 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Even with games as frequent as they are the arena still has quite a bit of time when it's empty. Two sets of blanks, both playing games...in the end it would balance as a net gain for the Judges, wouldn't it?

Re: [Everywhere]

[identity profile] lone_centurion.insanejournal.com 2011-08-02 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
But we're already giving them a bonus. We wouldn't be here at all if we didn't.

And why bother getting another large group to manage?

Judges don't do much in the way of personally monitoring us as it is.

They do enough that they know when we break the rules.

True.
