STONES

The stone beast shook its head slowly, and with stiffening limbs it took a step back, away from Aloe and Lila. Its lip twisted in a snarl, and it took another step back. Every movement was slower than the last -- until there was only a twitch of an ear and the shift of a claw, and then the beast was frozen once more.

Grom huffed and sighed heavily. The cameldragon had expended every ounce of energy and enthusiasm into that one act of heroism. He sat down sleepily and proceeded to chew, his eyes half-closed.

Kettle woke up sprawled against the pillar, blood trickling down her forehead. She shifted to her feet unsteadily, keeping her back against the rock to avoid being seen, and she peered around it. Aloe's back was to her, but it was clear he still held the gun. Lila was fine again, Nel had just woken up, and the stone beast had gone back to being harmless. Leon was nowhere to be seen, and Clavic was probably somewhere at the end of the trail of scattered bones.

No one had realized what happened -- no one knew except Leon and Clavic, and Kettle was fairly sure she could lie her way back into Clavic's trust, at least. She would take the chance.

"Is everyone all right?" she called, her voice reflecting the very real pain in her skull. Kettle stepped out from behind the pillar -- and then she noticed movement that hadn't been there before. Someone -- or something -- was crawling out of the ground very close to where Nel lay half-conscious.

"Nel!" Kettle called out in alarm, still holding the pillar for balance. "Watch out! Behind you!"

Hmm.

What do you guys think of maybe rebooting this? I still like this idea but it seriously could've started out a lot more engaging.

STONES

Actually, not to double-post, but @Cinderella Man are you planning to get in on this round before I mess it up? ;)

@Trevor1001 Well, let us know what those ideas are! And go ahead and respond to Northern's post as you like -- you're not obligated to wait for another player to post. :)

@Korigon HI THERE!!!!!

Lantern

That sounds like a nightmare. D: Glad you're feeling better now!

STONES

Oohh. Is it time for a mod post? I think it's time for a mod post. Probably not tonight, though -- but it is being written in my head. :3

Any hopes or suggestions are totally welcome!

Lantern

HAPPY BIRFDAY KEPLOOO! Have some extra special cake!

The Circus Underground

@Trevor1001 HELLO! :D I suspect, honestly, that it's a Catch-22 sort of situation: nobody's responding because nobody's responding. ^^;

For everyone who might still be poking around! What do you want to see? How do you want your character to develop? :D

STONES

Haha, fair 'nuff! So @Capra I can write in your character or you could even go ahead and post your interpretation of him waking up in a dark underground with noises and a square of light overhead.

Lantern

@Red_massa awesome post! I'd like to mention that it's difficult to develop your character when he changes his mind so quickly and so often. Could you please set down exactly what his true, solid, unchanging objective is? At the end of it all, what do you want him to have accomplished? I'd like to urge you to focus on one goal and stick him to it. It would be much easier for me to help develop his character. :)
