(2003) Spring Equinox

[Sonnie Wu]

"Okay, people! We've put it off long enough!" Waving the bamboo stick in the air, the smiling monkey moved over to the designated contest area. "Time to limboooooooooooo!"

Fiddling with her phone for a moment, Sonnie started up some appropriate music and held the stick out at about shoulder level. "Contestants line up and let's begin!"

Rules are simple!

A Dexterity + Athletics roll to go under the stick. If you fail, you've touched the stick or fallen down, and you're out of the game! Everyone competing goes once per round.

Each round thereafter, the stick is lowered a few inches. Second round, we repeat, with a -1 penalty. Third round the penalty is -2, and so on, until there is one person left. They are the winner! Contestants feel free to start!

[Rhodes]

An eyebrow arches to the playful Elf. "Wasn't that a montage over several hours?" he asks wryly with a half-smirk. "Not sure that counts. I don't suppose in addition to forgetting the police state we can forget the intrusion on meals for two in my private time, hmm?"

He smiles. "Oh, but those physical talents can serve you just as well in the Dream, Circe. I would rather no-one be cause off-guard, if possible, even yourself. Even Elves have to sleep," The Dread Lord flourishes to hie own pale, pointed ears.

It seemed the limbo was finally underway. Still. It would be an attractive distraction.

[Yamiyo Lillich]

Stopping up and seeing how it was finally time for the limbo, she wouldn't miss her chance here now. Setting her still unopened energy drink down on a nearby table, rushing up to the limbo stick and hastily shouting.
"Me first, me first, me first."

  Limbo time

Date		Action		Roll		Result
2020-04-12 14:04:45		Yamiyo Lillich rolls 7 to Limbo Dex + Athletics (10 Again)		8, 4, 4, 5, 2, 10, 4, 6		2 successes

Easily going under the limbo stick, jumping and clapping her hands in excitement.
"I finally got to compete yayy."
Damn caffeine really gave her to much energy.

[Angel]

John’s wistfulness reopened the scab buried deep within Angel. The cold mask of expression watches the other lost in their dance. This was the new normal. John speaks like he has secrets for sale. It is best not to give the possible wares a thought.

”Already so sure you’ll get a second date?” Is all the coy response he’ll get.

[James Turner]

"'Didn't know this was a first one..."


He smirked, his eyes out on the crowd but he could see her form in the corner of his vision as Yamiyo slipped easily under the bar. He gave a one sided shrug the glass hovering just in front of him as he was going to sip it and decided against it.


"Up to you."

[Seraphina]

A sigh, “And here I thought I could get myself a secretary to help with paperwork.” A shrug. Oh well.

“Now that sounds like a fun evening. The last class was a great learning experience.” A hint of pride in her voice. “Plus, it’d be a welcome change from training on my own and focusing so much on others Dreams.” Only way she could hone her healing skills. And the fighting skills had been coming along slower.

Sapphires watch everyone, sipping a water. Seemed the Winters were talking, that was good. And she wondered how long until the Season would be complete and they’d have a Winter Monarch.

Laughing at Circe, “Well, there are worse places to pass out.” She jokes with a wink. “I promise to make sure you have a blanket and pillow.” Because of course she would.

Looked like it was limbo time and the Nix leans against the counter, content to watch for now.

“We could always set a trap for her.” She says to Rhodes with a smirk, “I hear she can’t say no to coffee. So we bait her with fresh coffee, and maybe a gun magazine, then she’ll be too distracted to follow us.” A wink, obviously she was playing.

Seemed their new Spring was eager to play, and Sera cheers her on.

[Anatole]

Anatole will remain at the bar. Please post around him as he is just nursing his drink.

[Angel]

Angel offers John a smile. "Every first meeting is..."

Angel sits back in the chair, eyes outward again. "Dinner, I think. Somewhere quite. Private. Your place?"

[James Turner]

“Not much of a cook. Think Takeout is in order. Private would be good…my place huh? Wouldn’t be more comfortable in yours?”

He wasn’t sure if she was testing him, seeing if she could enter his most private area but he couldn’t think of any better solution other than her place and wanted to see how she’d react when put to the same while still being polite about it.

If he couldn’t trust her, who could he trust? His mind had already made up but he wanted to see how she’d react.

[Sonnie Wu]

Transferring the limbo stick to her tail, Sonnie clapped her hands for the Romancer. "Yay! Well done, Yamiyo! You move on to round two!"

She looked around for the next contestant. "Who's next?"

Nobody seemed to be lining up. "Anyone?"

Ugh, this was starting to feel like her 6th birthday party and none of the other kids showed up.
