[Game Thread] Unfortunate Implications

[dbaque]

Matthias pulls up the girl effortlessly, as if she weighed nothing. His loose, brown robes do a great job of hiding his frame, but it certainly feels a bit off. He returns the smile, but his hand flinches at the glitter traveling from her hand to his, more in surprise than anything else. Feeling no ill effect from the colored lights, he turns back to her somewhat embarrassed at his overreaction, saying: "<ahem> You're welcome, miss."

He takes in the frozen sights around him, responding to her question: "I don't know. I awoke only a moment before you did, & there was this," gesturing around. The other two are up & about, though green fire maker was chatting with her rat. Glitter & green fire, these definitely shored up his working hypothesis that girls were just plain weird. While he was well past the age of thinking girls were dread bearers of icky cooties contagion, they were still an inscrutable, if sometimes intriguing, enigma.

The others fine, Matthias walks up to the nearest human icicle, touching it & Take 10 on Perception: 18.examining it with unusually keen senses, wondering: "Who could have done this?" He looks down at his hand as he balls it into a fist, recalling stories he'd heard of great feats of strength, including shattering ice. "Well, I do feel a lot stronger," he thinks before pulling back a fist & hammering into the ice block, trying to break it.

Looking around in amazement she watches him examine the ice statue. Her own mind racing.
What is with all of this glitter? How is it flowing like that? There is some in the hair wash I use, but it has never done this. She thinks back to a moment ago when she was still dazed and how it flowed up her hand and onto his, against gravity.

That is so weird. she accidentally says out loud.

After a few minutes she sees Matthias pull his arm back as if to punch the block of ice.

"NO!" She screams, her voice echoing through the domes area, seeming even louder since the crowd stopped speaking, all the while grabbing his arm as it goes back, hoping her weight will keep him from completing his swing.

Marros, Matthias: The ice isn't as cold to the touch as you remember ice being. No, that's not quite right, it's more like... your body is resisting the cold somehow. That shouldn't happen.
(Conclusion: The ice is magic.)

Threnody: You catch his arm, but get yanked along for the ride, with how hard he's punching. It's very awkward, though you stop him from putting proper force into it.

The young girl puts her hands up to her mouth in surprise when the boy tries to punch the frozen person. She doesn't know why he would want to hurt them, "S-shouldn't we be trying to help them? M-maybe we should go get a guard..?" she says, in a tiny voice. Her rat, who had been on said hand, jumped nimbly onto her shoulder with the movement.

Disconcertingly it nods in agreement with her comment and waggles a finger in a very human 'naughty naughty' gesture at Matthias.

"Yeah girly over here is probably right we don't know what is exactly wrong with people right now lets not have them wake up missing body parts," pauses as that thought processes into his mind which he makes a wince. "how about we see how many people this acctually affected the underground can be covered easily but what about the people up top?

[Fragmaster01]

They'll think you did it.
The low hanging clouds of frost(cold mist?) seem to be limited to this area. It's probably not spread past this room. As you ponder the situation, you hear the echoing sounds of footsteps from the west; a far ways off.
Runnnn...

is the gray line voices we are hearing in our heads?

[Fragmaster01]

OOC Yes. Put your OOC stuff in these boxes. It makes things easier to keep straight.

[Moridain]

The girl frowns, not wanting to get into even more trouble. They hadn't done anything wrong! Surely they would know that, right?

"They wouldn't think we did it would they? I-I'm a good girl..."

"Don't really know about you guys but I really don't feel like sticking around to prove my innocence." looking at the other three kids, Marros can tell he is probably the oldest. "two are young, one is definitely not from around here now is not the time to split up"
taking a quick moment to ponder the best route Marros decides the market district would provide the most cover if they need to hide. "Come on we had better go," starts leading Sadie back towards the market district "What about you two you guys coming?"

[Moridain]

Sadie lets herself be lead, for once glad to let someone else decide. Her horrific time being lost added to this new event has left her wanting her parents very badly. If it were for Fluf-... Sammie, then she wouldn't know what to do.

"What?" The young girl hanging on his arm (a phrase usually reserved for a much different context) dulls the swing enough that Matthias only manages to just barely bruise his knuckles (which hurts less than he remembers). He gently sets down the girl (comically) hanging on his arm, himself equal parts apologetic & frustrated: "I'm sorry that ... I mean ... Why on earth did you ... Look; I don't know any more than you whether that would help any, but we have to do something."

Just then, Matthias hears approaching footsteps & an unsettling voice in his head. Though torn about fleeing, he settles on following the boy who seems to know his way around. At his question, Matthias gives a reassuring glance to the blond, glittering girl, saying: "Come on." The robed lad hurries after the lithe boy, replying: "Very well, lead on. By the way, my name is Matthias."

[Elucidus]

After her free ride through the air, Threnody looks disconcerted. The same voice is apparently in her head. She follows the others lead, if for no other reason than to get out of this trouble.

"I am Threnody, she introduces herself as they are fleeing, though after they hit the exit not exactly running as that would be too obvious and probably give them away.

[Moridain]

"Sadie." she says, holding on to the back of his shirt again.

The name's Marros He said as his eyes constantly shifted around looking for someplace less open, or a better spot to hide. if we can find a spot to hide for a moment hopefully we can calm down and try and find out what happened
