OPEN POST: THE ANNIVERSARY

THE ANNIVERSARY

[It's been exactly two years since Mithos took over Paradisa. That's two years of delightful massacres, scaring people into the Dead Zone, and manipulating former friends with the ageless face of a Kharlan hero. Two years of your character struggling to hold onto life as they know it while under the shadow of a fearsome ruler from another world. Two years of scraping to get by, cowering in the Dead Zone, waiting for a chance to go home or a death that Paradisa can't-- won't-- give.

There is nothing planned for today, though there are a few whimsical sort of changes that Mithos called for. The angels are on security detail as usual, policing the grounds; however, Mithos and his closest subordinates may be stepping outside. There is a grand feast set up in the ballroom... but angels don't eat, so it's really just for show. The place has the air of a graveyard party where even the dead decide not to attend.

There is an undercurrent of anxiety tonight, a breath held in anticipation. Something is about to happen, and even the insects are quiet.]

[ooc: HUGE OPEN MINGLING POST for characters who either reside in the castle as angelic little zombies, or people who are returning for whatever reason. Please don't threadjack something without notifying the muns in advance!

You are free to make your own sections if you'd like and I'll add them to this post :)]

Oh... [hmmm, she scratches her chin]

The angels, or the people trying to break in?

[someoneto_carry]

[...]

Possibly both.

[optimystic]

[true dat.....]

So we need to think of a plan that's not crazy, right?

[someoneto_carry]

[She nods]

Tryin' the banquet's suicide, but maybe if we can find a spot where wishes work...

[optimystic]

Yeah! We can nab a bunch of supplies and high-tail out of there before anyone is the wiser.

[someoneto_carry]

Right.

Question's findin' a good spot.

[optimystic]

And finding a proper distraction!

[someoneto_carry]

...The banquet's the distraction, xiao mei-mei.

[optimystic]

But there are probably still going to be some angels on guard duty. If we have a back up distraction, then they'll be doubly-distracted! That means that we have an even better chance of making it in and out safely.

[someoneto_carry]

Right.

Any ideas for a distraction?

[optimystic]

We could make a fire?

[oh wait that might be bad...]

... A contained fire?

[someoneto_carry]

...Think that might be a bit obvious of a distraction.

[optimystic]

Maybe we can bank on it being obvious! Let's see... if we put a fire on that side of town-- [she points waaaaay off in the distance] and then we release a dog or something on that side of town-- [and now she points at the other side of town] they'll think that they have to go investigate the dog situation, leaving us an opening to go through the middle!

[it's an awful plan, she's just trying to feel useful]

[someoneto_carry]

[....Yep. she is getting that sense]

...How about instead we try the shootin' range? Should be close enough for wishes. You're small enough to slip into one of the buildings unnoticed and wish for what we need.
