undergrounds | [OPEN POST] The game is on

This event runs from 20th-25th July 2015.

Hello, Londoners! Bit hot, isn't it? Blimey, you might even get a tan at this rate, assuming you're not a vampire.

But there's no time to relax and enjoy the sunshine. No. This is the third and final week of the hunting season in the Other Realm and the magic of the hunt is about to bleed into all of London...

Basically, if you're a predatory type, your hunting instincts may be sharper than usual this week. By how much? Not a lot, we're not talking rabid wolves or losing self-control here, but conditions are perfect for hunting. You can feel it in the air. Hunters of all kinds can expect good fortune – yes, that includes humans who track down other supernatural species too.

As for everyone else... try not to be lunch. Welcome to London.

Prompts

1) HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF. Bare those fangs and sharpen those claws. You're feeling a little... peckish.

2) THE WHITE HART. The hunt for the legendary White Hart has begun. Fae hunting parties compete to pursue the beast, and upon its capture much merry-making ensues. Should a party pass through into the mortal realm during this hunt, they will appear as drunken louts searching for a pub.

3) HUNTING PARTY. No reason to let the fae have all the fun! Choose your quarry, gather your team and pursue your prey. This could be a serious hunt-to-kill party or something more light-hearted.

4) CAPTURE/KILL. The moment you've been waiting for. Your prey, cornered. Do you allow your instincts to take over and let rip?

5) I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS. I just got to London and now I'm being chased by a vicious pack of supernatural beings. FML.

6) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. What's the first thing you see when you set foot in London? Make up your own scenario here.

"In your dreams, I'm totally cooler than you," said Heiji, fluffing up a pillow and propping it up under Maera. "I'll get you some water."

He turned to Snake. "What about you, you want anything?" Stop getting your hand squeezed, you nerd. "Or I guess I could tour you guys around a bit if ya like. I guess now that you know I live here, no point in hiding it..."

"I'll be the judge of that when you're sober, Maera." Fortunately she squeezed his right hand. The real one. The last thing he wanted was to explain things to a drunk woman. He gave her a pat on the shoulder and helped her settle on the couch.

"Well...I suppose I could go for water as well." He had been drinking too, only not as much as either of them. It would be safer to have all of his wits about him. "Also, what bus line runs nearest to here?"

"Literally just- go on the corner'nd there'll be a bus soon. There're buses everywhere all the time in this city." Yes, Maera, that's very helpful information.

Once Heiji has brought her water, she gulps it down quickly, setting down the glass on the coffee table with a satisfied sigh. "You should show us around as long as we're here. Especially if you have a fancy guest bedroom with my name written all over it."

"I got more than one, so you can have your pick!" Heiji said, raising his eyebrows at Maera as he handed Snake his own glass. "And I do have manners, you know. You can stay over, too, if ya like. I'd feel bad if I made you take the bus back after ya helped us up here." Plus it'd be a chance to actually use some of the extra rooms.

"But all right. Obviously, we're in the living room. This is a four-bed, two-bath. I use one of the rooms as a study." In deference to Snake, he'd simply describe the pertinent features of each room and the general layout as they went.

The master bedroom, predictably, was the largest, with large windows and a view all along one side. It was surprisingly neat and also lined with bookshelves. There were a few other things that stuck out there, too, like a violin case and a bulky-looking black bag lying on the floor.

"...It actually came with a lot of the pillows and curtains and so on. Pre-furnished, I think they call it? I mostly just added all the books."
