RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Sai - 04-15-2017
Reginald lowers down to near ground level, his lazy circles sending off wisps of incorporeal shadestuff.
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Mirdini - 04-15-2017
A puff of blackened shade-smoke blasts out of the figure, Reginald's nav systems go haywire.
"Come, Catarath. You must atone."
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Sai - 04-15-2017
"What? No!" The drone's flight pattern becomes erratic, and it gains height to allow him to avoid crashing. "Don't listen! Atoning is lame!"
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Mirdini - 04-15-2017
Wings at the ready, Catarath soars, time flashing by in instants.
A burial, a burial, a burial, a burial, a burial. Joyous occasions, all.
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Sai - 04-15-2017
Reginald follows, hanging close onto Catarath's tail to allow him to navigate by sight. "Seems like you did a good enough job."
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Sai - 04-15-2017
"I mean, they all got buried. That's helpful. Nothing to atone for, at least." The drone does a small loop, black smoke pouring out.
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Mirdini - 04-15-2017
Then not burials. Induction, apprenticeship, a childhood admiring mom's work with sanctified spade.
A life since, to live up to that example.
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Mirdini - 04-15-2017
Catarath, deep down memory lane, struggles to respond.
"All this... means nothing. If... I have... forsaken it now."
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Sai - 04-15-2017
Reginald's exhaust sputters, puffing out a ring of smoke. "You didn't choose this battle, kid. You just gotta do the best you can."
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Sai - 04-15-2017
"Plus it's not like you even wanted to abandon your whatevers. Say, you get up to any cool fights back here?"
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Mirdini - 04-15-2017
Shades flash by Reginald. Unruly dead, summarily dispatched. Nemesis grave-un-digging unions, busted.
"A fair share, funeral attendee."
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Sai - 04-15-2017
"Nice job taking down the Association of Young Necromancers there!"
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Sai - 04-15-2017
"Damn, even the high school rivalries at the M.C. never got THIS bloody."
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Mirdini - 04-15-2017
Jimmy and Shelena follow, a reminder.
"What do you want from me, shades?
"Vengeance."
"Oh, and make sure they know I went to Harvard!"
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Sai - 04-15-2017
"Jimmy! Jim-jim. My man. Do you really want vengeance?"
"Yes."
"But what about all the good times?"
"It was awful."
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Mirdini - 04-15-2017
Unholy Bahamut's Gravedigger's Creed, Book III, 32:63:
"Whomsoever obstructs proper burial procedure, shall feel the Gravedigger's wrath."
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Sai - 04-15-2017
"Okay, fine, but Shelena. You had a time, didn't you? What with the mint and all."
"Shut up."
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Mirdini - 04-15-2017
Near the terminus, memory lane becomes patchy. Gaping holes lead to inky nothingness.
A light, shining, at the start. The end? Both.
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Sai - 04-15-2017
The shade of the leopard conjures light around her fists and leaps in the air towards the two, followed almost immediately by twin blasts of light.
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Mirdini - 04-15-2017
A wing, punctured.
A draconic gravedigger, an uncontrolled dive.
Straight into another light, this one all-encompassing.
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Sai - 04-15-2017
Reginald banks away, his piloting awkward in the relatively tight confines of the city streets. "Damn, you're just all sunshine."
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Mirdini - 04-15-2017
Just before the figure vanishes, a shout, booming across memorial time and space.
"JIMMY HARVARD WENT TO HARVARD."
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Sai - 04-15-2017
Jimmy had taken the time to walk forward seemingly nonchalantly, a pair of cigars having found their way into his hands. "And now you - Oh!"
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Sai - 04-15-2017
"It's true! I did go to Harvard!" The proud graduate beams, the fuses on the cigars in his hands burning down until they violently explode.
RE: GRAND TWEET V: Final Round - Memory Lane - Sai - 04-15-2017
Though the explosion seemed to vaporize the shade, he at least dissipated with a smile on his face.
