The Preserve, Wednesday Afternoon

[glacial_witch]

There was an army waiting to greet the members of the Magic Reserves today: an army of practice dummies from the salle, standing at perfect attention behind the refreshment table. Crepe paper had been tied around each dummy's waist, with a long streamer left hanging down their sides. More rolls of crepe paper were resting on the refreshment table

Arrive and Mingle

Eat, chat, eye the dummies warily.

Raven, of course, was there, and perhaps feeling a bit too cocky that this would be easy for her.

Francine eyed the dummies less warily than skeptically. She didn't think she could even lift one, let alone carry it across a field.

Maybe she should be a bad guy this time?

...A bad guy with cookies.

Cookies! Also, yay rescue games! Dinah was so going to rock this.

Although the dummy might be a little traumatized.

Dinah's Talk/Questions for Dinah

When she pings in.

Dinah wasn't exactly nervous about talking in front of people, or being open about her powers, but she was a little self-conscious. Which came out in talking faster than usual. Buzzzz

"I didn't plan to get trapped in a haunted house!"

"And yet this stuff keep happening!" Dinah made a face at him, and reluctantly added, "But it wasn't your fault the phone didn't work."

She sighed. "Oh! And if I'm exposed to this one drug, melange? I can dream-walk into other people's dreams. But my control sucks and it's terrifying, so yeah, I avoid other drugs and too much alcohol because of it."

Questions!

The Activity!

[glacial_witch]

There is a lone dummy waiting on one side of the Preserve, it's 'life' fluttering in the breeze. Across the length of the Preserve are two posts, gaily decorated with more streamers and ribbons. That's 'home.' Get your dummy past those posts with it's 'life' still attached and you win!

Bad guys? Feel free to range about the middle space, waiting for the rescuer(s) to come by. Remember! Only rescuers get to use magic!

Turns end when either the rescuers have successfully gotten their dummies 'home' or the dummy and/or the rescuers have been 'killed.'

Re: The Activity!

[trigons_child]

Raven teleported from one side of the Preserve to the other, reappearing beside her dummy. Her Soul-Self emerged and wrapped around them both, and she teleported again, this time to safety.

She wasn't smug at all when she said, "That was not difficult."

OK, maybe a little smug.

[If somebody could've interrupted that, let me know and I will re-ping. :D ]

Re: The Activity!

[wantstodirect]

"Try that again," Tony said, standing by another dummy. "See if you can 'rescue' this guy."

Re: The Activity!

[trigons_child]

Raven gave Tony a wary look, thinking perhaps he intended to try to tackle her to stop her. She would have to watch the streamers carefully. "Very well," she said, raising her arms to teleport again. And once more her Soul-Self rose from her shoulders and began to wrap around herself and the dummy.

[I'm leaving work now, will reply when I get home. :) ]
