Who's tryin' to engage her in combat as a form of flirting at the colosseum?

Strictly for the sake of earning Stars, of course.

Fireworks erupted overtop the city's centre where the giant hole usually could be found. Except now it was filled with a huge stadium! When had that happened!? As was often tradition in Spirale, plenty early risers would have their beauty sleep disturbed by the blaring of an announcement over the electronic devices in their possession.

"That's right, Jonathan! This is an exciting year for the Spirale Games! Well it's the first year, but that's what makes it so exciting!" Anything with a screen would have displayed video of Ofiuco's android body sitting at a sportscasting desk. But there was no one else present so who was she talking to? "We have a number of exciting events for teams to sign up for and we can't wait to see you out there!"

Of course the implication was that if they didn't see them out there then those who didn't participate wouldn't be reaping any of the rewards!

----------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to our April / May event, the Spiral Games! As you can imagine we've taken inspiration from major sporting events, but this is closer to a celebration of many different skills and only some of the events are based on athleticism! You can find a full list of the events here so that this post isn't too cluttered!

So how is everything going to work?

Characters can participate in some events alone, but we encourage everyone to form teams of up to four characters! All of the team members don't need to participate in every thread if you don't want to but the option is there if you'd like! Teams will have no bearing on rewards (but it will make them easier) so there also isn't a limit of how many teams a character can be in to prevent a scenario where some characters are let out just because some people made teams early on.

If you would like to, you can give your team a name and even design a logo!

On the event list page you can see a list of events and the rewards you can earn from participating! Rewards can only be claimed by the team members who participate, so if you choose to do a one person drabble then only you get those rewards!

You can participate in as many events as you want, but the amount of Stars one character can earn from the event is capped at 500 Stars. This does not include the regular amount you get for event participation.

There will also be an unlock reward for this event, however there is a stipulation to this. In order to claim the unlock you must write at least 300 words with at least one character on your account that your muse has yet to interact with. So long as the thread is event related it will count, which is where teams could certainly help!

As always please feel free to send any questions you may have to the masterlist!

The event ends at 11:59:59PM EST on May 17th!

To me, you're still Nicolette.

Yet the space between them feels endless. She does not know how to cross and he makes no move to do it for her.

❝ Is it really the same? ❞ Her voice is uncharacteristically timid, soft as it echoes the quiet drip of tea into a nearly overflowing cup. ❝ Do you really see me the same way? Even still? ❞ Though it makes her stomach twist to ask, the question feels necessary.

Her feelings have not changed in their time apart, even if they settled to the back of her mind like a distant ache. She'd told him clearly before: letting go does not come easily to her. Not without force. Not without the violence of being physically ripped from her grasp.

Then again, she has not lived a decade without him. The things he has experienced are a mystery, and nothing could be crueler when they'd both known each other so well before. ❝ I need you to tell me the truth, Wang Yi. You might still see me as ❛ Nicolette ❜... but is that all? ❞

Ah, is he taking things too lightly again?

There's a fine line between routine and the unexpected, but it feels like Wang Yi's been scuffing that border to bits ever since he accepted the System's contract. Add in the extra years, the endless revelations, and whatever crap Qin Xian and S-0's been plotting behind his back and Wang Yi's gotten used to going with the flow (or tidal wave, really).

"Can I say different is just another Tuesday at this point?"

"Even so, I'm still the same me inside. And you..."

He almost reaches for her hand, but stops at the last second to grab the teapot and refill their cups.

"To me, you're still Nicolette."

❝ Something tells me that isn't quite true, but for the sake of keeping the peace, I'll take your word for it. ❞

Nicolette might argue that this level of hostility is unusual for her as well, but it'd be a lie to say that was always the case. The only difference now was that the emotions were much harder to hide.

❝ You think you can handle playing nice, temporarily? By all means, if it seems too much for you to handle, be sure to let me know. ❞

She's not interested in a fight, but neither will she avoid it, if violence becomes necessary.

It's been a while since her skin was dug under. She has a feeling that this lady will be the one to get under it. regardless, she'll keep her own guard up and keep her eyes on the hybrid. Kill her if need be, she'll tell herself.

They can most certainly agree on one thing: "Glad we're on the same page then," she says smiling.

She supposed that would mean sharing the space she has and if worse came to worse...well...

"I'm not usually this territorial." Or maybe she is, but this is a bit much more than usual.

Though it fought to the best of its abilities, the wounds inflicted upon the creature's neck soon bring it slamming into the snow. Nicolette's teeth and claws remain buried into its flesh until long after all movement has ceased. Despite the chill in the air, the fresh blood coating much of her body warms her.

When the hybrid finally moves to stand, her sharp gaze turns abruptly towards the girl. Teeth bared and red dripping from her lips, she looks the picture of a predator ready to pounce.

❝ Awfully dangerous for a little bird to be out here all alone, don't you think? ❞

That scream is enough to paralyze the half-bird right in her spot out of instinctual fear of a predator.

When the bear howls in pain and the sound of its paws slamming into snow reaches Yumine's ears, the bird wobbles up and takes flight. While the lady has her teeth sinking deeper into the thick skin of the polar bear, Yumine swoops in from the front to claw at the bear's eyes, causing the creature to cry out in further pain. Blinded, the bear slams its body against yumine and attempts to throw the cougar right off as well.

Yumine dodged the bear's bulldozing body, avoiding being rammed into a tree and when she saw another opening, shoved her claws into the bear's neck.

[nicawlette]

❝ Bold words... maybe I've just taken a particular liking to you— ever think of that? ❞ She took no offence to the insinuation— easy to please, yes, she supposed it might appear that way. While it's true that compliments and fanfare could garner her favor faster than most other methods, Nicolette's trust was not so easily secured. Flattery was surface level, at best, but why not indulge?

Elbow propping atop the table, Nicolette rested her chin in the dip of her palm and hummed. ❝ Probably for the best, although... what I wouldn't give to see you hammered. Sounds like an experience to remember! But I'll be sure to keep your number on speed dial when I have one drink too many! ❞ Not if, but when. With an offer to be cared for made, Fern had surely sealed her fate.

❝ Oh, I actually had something I wanted to ask you... a bit of a favor, if you will. ❞ Leaning back into the chair, she fixed the mage with her most darling smile. ❝ That magic you used before, the one that removes blood... does it work on old stains? ❞

ʚїɞ - "I wouldn't need to try that hard, apparently." Fern made a little poke at Nicolette's easy to win over personality. But like her friend already knew, Fern also didn't mince her words. If she said something she at least meant it. When Nicolette sat down, she didn't even make an effort to hide the finished dessert plates of her own. Evidently Fern hadn't been trying much else. "Although I suppose I don't make an effort to compliment other people like that."

She really didn't go around complimenting the appearances of other people very much.

"My adoptive father always said that "alcohol is the best medicine", although he was quite the drunkard in his youth apparently." Frieren had told her plenty of stories of Heiter's drunken antics. "I'm not much of a drinker myself though. I don't like bitter flavours and even when a drink is sweeter I still find it off-putting."

She glanced over to meet Nicolette's eyes. "But if you're ever drunk I have a lot of experience helping take care of the drunk and hungover. Not that it matters here I guess." Like she said, there was nothing to drink.

[nicawlette]

He seems to take her scathing demeanor in stride, offering little in the way of biting rebuttal. Instead, he relents, even goes so far as to keep the offer open. His optimism amuses her— ❛ you'd be surprised ❜ she nearly replies. Who wouldn't be heartless in circumstances such as this? Humans they may be, the line has most certainly begun to blur ( perhaps erased altogether, for some ).

What animal would resist tearing another down if it meant more food in their belly? Cruel as it sounds, it is a simple truth. Mercy does not exist in the law of nature.

Momentarily distracted by the yapping creatures at her feet, Nicolette bristles at being ordered around so easily. Verbal complaints withheld, she merely scoffs, gazing at multiple pairs of eyes silently pleading. ❝ Yeah right, don't believe their lies. They're a bunch of opportunists— probably decided my food was worth more than your warmth. ❞ Regardless, the hybrid cannot resist reaching down towards the one bold enough to cling to her person, stroking a clawed finger behind its furry ears with a slight smile on her face.

She watches as the other flits around the space, murmuring more to himself than for the sake of a reply. He hardly seems to remember that she's there, so Nicolette doesn't bother offering to help, and settles on the floor only once the beginnings of a makeshift fire begin to take place. The fresh game rests in her lap as scarred fingers pull a pocketknife from her dress skirt, tongue clicking harshly every time an eager paw attempts to snatch the meal too early.

❝ We can split the fish, ❞ she offers when the small flame comes to life, casting them both in soft orange light and warmth. ❝ You seem like the type to feel less guilty eating a fish than something cute. ❞

CUTTING WORDS, THANKFULLY SOMETHING HE'S USED TO. unlike those spoken by a familiar voice, however, he doesn't bite back, not without a second thought. not to mention the peace offering she claims to be willing to share, enough to garner the attention of the yapping little critters. they're swift, escaping from his lap with ease at the prospect of food, hardly wary of the instincts that scream this foreign person could make them the next.

whether that was because of his presence being here or not was beyond him, though he was grateful she hadn't planned to make it so.

❝ It wasn't like I was going to make you ask for it either, you know. ❞ hands brush along his shirt, removing fur from his clothes, as a few twitches of his ears shift. so, he stands up, moving to close the door behind her, lest the cold seeps in further. ❝ Who's heartless enough to cause a turf war over the only shelter around for a while? ❞ point proven, he hopes that's enough to convince her that defense wasn't necessary, at least not in a physical sense. ❝ Tend to those guys for a little, would you? They seem pretty fond of you. ❞ or maybe it was the food, though there was no doubt there was some better judgement for their approach.

a few more yips sound out as the furry creatures prance around her, one moving to paw at her leg to get her attention as he thinks. ❝ I'm not much of a survival expert, but I can see if I can get a fire going. There should be enough in here to get one started, right... ? ❞ crimson eyes glance around, noting the chunk of logs that seem too frozen solid to properly catch, then eyes settling on the furniture that seems mostly preserved, already beginning to tear small pieces of clothe away and grabbing what could work as kindling.

before long, a smaller fire begins to grow with every piece fed into it, for warmth if not for cooking, had neither lost too much of their humanity already.

[nicawlette]

Where does she start? Their barely-started beginnings? Their swift separation? The lonely time apart, both in and out of the city?

Rare as it is for her to be rendered speechless, the situation at hand exceeds far past the level she's familiar with. This is untouched territory; unfortunately, it's much too personal a problem to simply run away and avoid. Thankfully, Wang Yi does what he does best, and takes the lead when she falls short.

❝ I mean— ❞ She frowns, finding it hard to look at him straight on, gaze lingering upon the cup of tea that has yet to touch her lips, ❝ are you saying it's not, for you? ❞

The problem is no fault of his, but her center of gravity has been upturned all he same. ❝ It's not bad, it's just... ❞ Nicolette falters, eyes imploring as they finally lift to meet his— a shade so familiar, and yet still so different. ❝ Different. ❞ Though the color palette remains unchanged, the likeness it creates is not one she's come to recognize.

How much else has changed besides his face? The answer unnerves her.

@nicawlette

Where does he start? The second world? The fourth? The fact that he's already lived three lifetimes before coming to this one?

At times like this Wang Yi's grateful his logic wins the day, because looking at Nicolette in the flesh has him processing way too much in his head, to say nothing of the cup of tea he might be clutching like a lifeline now.

With both hands.

Elegantly poised, like the way his senior sisters and brothers have taught him since childhood. It's not his schtick, but muscle memory habits die hard.

"Um Nicolette, you can be honest with me, you know?"

"Is this all..." he gestures with his elbow, indicating her, him, his clothes, etc. "...weird for you?"

At the very least, he's used to people thinking him strange.

SEND ONE FOR MY MUSE'S REACTION ✦ not accepting.

@nicawlette sent: ↳ ▤ = falling asleep on them .

THE NIGHT SKY, a tapestry of stars; stories scrawled upon a dark canvas, like velvet it unfurls across the horizon. he reads them silently from below, and listens to the sound a sleeping city makes. it's... quiet here, and his thoughts recede amid his repose as a tide crawling back out to sea. there are only shimmers on the surface--- memories demanding resolution, the conflict he left behind. they are murmurs he is content to ignore for the time being, until such a time as when he would have an answer. for now, there is nothing to hold on to.

... and then, another ripple in the water, as ramattra feels a weight slump against him.

snapping his head towards his shoulder, the omnic notes the human beside him... sleeping. she had joined him prior, and few words were exchanged, but clearly she was undeterred by his attempts to dismiss her. she was... persistent, and the reason why continues to elude him.

it's lonely sometimes... isn't it? the anger.

those words still play on his mind from time to time, like a broken record. he's not sure why it troubles him so much, but... they make a certain kind of sense--- there is an emptiness inside her, isn't there? an ache for whatever may mend that void. he's heard humans describe that pain before, not of flesh, but the heart. it is... far more difficult to heal, sometimes, or so they say.

but what does hers cry out for?

her breaths are even; calm, in and out, merely a whisper from her parted lips. finally, he tears his gaze away, and skyward once more. he should pull away, abandon her where she falls...

... and yet, he remains.

❝ Are near-death experiences during first dates not the norm? What are you even doing then?? Where's ya'lls sense of Romance? ❞

#near-death experiences... hand-to-hand combat... #what's the problem? it's romantic... #isola dash commentary

[nicawlette]

❝ Oh yeah? ❞ That manages to ease some of the tension from her form, an amused smile replacing pouting lips as a laugh huffs through her nose. ❝ Be careful what you wish for, Yuri. You might not be able to handle it. ❞ If that's how he wants to play it, then she could certainly deliver if he so desired; however, in the effort to uphold the peace, she'll keep her teeth to herself too, for now.

❝ Well, your sense of hospitality leaves much to be desired and you don't know a thing about talking to women, but I guess I'm free right now, so I'll keep you company. ❞ The banter feels familiar, allowing the rest of her agitation to melt away. She doesn't even hiss at him for standing so close. There's a strange sense of comfort being his presence at war with newly acquired instincts. Though her beast is largely solitary, her humanity is a far lonelier creature than she dare not admit.

The grin she flashes him comes easily, all sharp teeth and teasing. The tail at her back relaxes before swaying playfully, gaze shifting towards the dog at her companion's feet. ❝ Who's this? Seems like he'd be much better company than you. ❞

it's too bad yuri's never been much of a 'good boy' in that sense, then. "so you want praise for acting decent? that's funny. 'sides, i told you to keep the claws away-- never said biting was off the table," though the only thing hinting toward an actual suggestion are the playful words themselves, not much else.

he rises with a lengthy stretch. aside from his ears turned pointedly in nicolette's direction -- in case of any sudden movements -- his approach is casual, almost lazy in spite of her barbs. while there's no doubt in his mind that she's capable of giving him a run for his money if it comes down to it, he'll place his bets on her not being shortsighted enough to pick a fight.

"just to keep this from dragging out any longer, i'm gonna assume you're accepting my offer," he maintains their close proximity while addressing her, even after retrieving his game, "my shelter isn't too far from here. won't be gourmet, but i'll do my best, your highness." as close to pampering as she's gonna get, he's afraid.

While Nicolette would defend her ability to protect herself, it'd be a lie to say that the severity of the storm hadn't taken her by quite the surprise. Finding shelter was the obvious move, but the chaos attracted her attention more than the necessity for safety, so much so that she very nearly missed an oncoming disaster.

She moved quick, but her hero moved quicker; a flash of lighting cut across the sky, reflecting in her eyes as they peered towards the woman hovering in shockingly close proximity— her excitement held at bay only by the other's urgency. Nicolette felt at a loss for words, almost enchanted by the display of power, merely nodding in answer as they both took off towards the building.

@nicawlette

🗲 The crackling of lightning filled the air and the wooden sword that it originated from collided with its target. A traffic light that had blown off its hinges from the nearby crosswalk midst a terrible spring storm of rain and extreme winds. Acheron had struck it down to protect a women. A stranger, but she didn't require familiarity to protect someone from injury.

"Are you alright!?" The howling wind made it difficult communicate without shouting. It made it difficult to stand, so Acheron hovered an arm behind the stranger's back as if to make sure she didn't blow away. "We need to get inside! Can you run!?" She tilted her head at a nearby store. It was clearly locked, but the Emanator didn't care about that.

She'd smash through.

[nicawlette]

❝ I hardly said it was a negative, ❞ she laughed, ❝ I quite like this bad girl side of you, after all. It's very exciting. Makes me wanna see you in a full fledged fight! ❞ Too bad their had no access to their powers, let alone the full arsenal. It would be awhile still before she could admire the true depth of Fern's power, of which she still remained largely ignorant to.

❝ You would be surprised just how familiar I am with difficult people— you might even say I collect them. I'm rather fond of those types, if you couldn't tell. ❞ Rarely did she meet someone that could truly handle her who wasn't at least half as strange as she was.

At Fern's sincere words, Nicolette felt the smile on her face shrink and soften into something a little more genuine. Though the mage hardly knew the extent of her character nor background, and while her opinion might one day change for the worse, Nicolette allowed the sentiment to sink in. ❝ I think we make for a pretty great team, Fernie— I'm eager to see just how much stranger you'll get! Until then, we've got some shearing to do! ❞

ʚїɞ - "Is that how you see it? In an emergency I'm willing to shift my values a little bit to accommodate the changing conditions. I wouldn't intentionally hurt someone else who is just trying to survive though... so long as they didn't attempt to hurt me first." Fern kept a very strict self defense threshold. She would simply respond to any aggression shown to her by others and would never be the one to provoke a situation like that. Even then she wasn't sure if she could kill a human as easily as she could a demon or monster.

The sheep hummed a single note to herself while Nicolette continued her explanation but didn't let the woman's momentary silence go unnoted. Not that she could really think of a reason for it. "Difficult to get along with, but I still understand the importance of networking and building trust and friendship. If you see me as difficult, I can only imagine what kind of trouble you would have with my master."

Frieren was a breed all her own to be fair.

Fern did eventually offer a smile, although it was just as muted as her shown emotions typically were. "You don't need to censor yourself. I appreciate being around people who don't expect me to act a certain way, and I'm sure you're the same. It can be stifling. So I suppose in that sense I'm lucky to have met you."

[nicawlette]

The question was not so much alarming as it was amusing, the smile on her face stretching wide as blood stained the sweet curve of her lips. Long nails slipped from where they'd buried themselves in the creature's neck, dripping with the viscous remains of a successful hunt. Droplets laid stark against the pure white snow as she stood a little straighter, shaking off what she could from her hand.

❝ I don't believe I'm trying to hide, ❞ she retorted, ❝ it hardly seems necessary, anyway. ❞ Hunt her? A curious concept, and one he may not find so effortless as the dear had been for her. While she could hardly gauge the other's capabilities, Nicolette was nowhere near defenseless prey.

She had not been for many, many years.

Her death would not be easily earned, nor without consequences. ❝ Why? ❞ His inquiry parroted back, a breath like a laugh through her nose. ❝ Why else? I'm hungry, and it was fun. Must there be a deeper reason? ❞ A contemplating hum rumbled in her chest as Nicolette brought bloodied fingers to her lips. She only gave the action a single moment of thought before licking a line across her finger, savoring the taste.

❝ The entertainment served its purpose quite well— did you not enjoy the show? Unfortunately, I won't be accepting any complaints at this time, considering you weren't invited to watch. A bit of a voyeur, huh? ❞

a slow & steady pace, armed by heavy but already crimson-spotted paws. each step a slight sink into the snow with the weight of the body above. the place stank of course, but he was already a trained hunter. a beast trained and collared. he knew the stench of sub-par prey, only concerning himself with a mightier and more worthy prize.

a transition from beast to literal beast was nought but a shift in perspective. already-honed senses strengthened and he wondered if the most animalistic experiments under hojo's hand ( a mere stone's throw from what he had become ) experienced this sort of intense existence.

sometime before this, he had caught glimpse of himself in a pool of half-frozen water. he was almost... wholly wolf-like, but when compared to the mangled failed experiments and mako-tainted wild dogs he had seen, this beast was something altogether far larger. far more imposing. this thought came of course prior to the embrace of this new challenge. now he simply is that creature; fur of almost sparkling silver, tainted with large lashes of dark red.

he paused. while the stink of weaker, fragile prey burned his nose there also, tangled with it, a more interesting scent. something brutal and wild, like him. something... interesting. were he still 'human', the sound rumbling from his throat would have sounded like a chuckle, but instead it emerged as a soft sort of snort, silver clouds of breath huffed from his snout.

" why do you concern yourself with lesser prey? reveal yourself to me, i have no desire to hunt you. "
