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.

"Nothing too large. Finding a place isn't that big a favor. Of course, if you agree and then try to weasel out of your end of the bargain... I get your soul."

It wasn't on the table right now, no. Humans rarely traded their souls for anything. But it made for good collateral. Wonderful insurance that the debt would be paid.

"But for the price... I'd settle for a future favor. Something, of course, fitting the favor I'm doing."

Information, likely. That tended to be the most valuable thing to her. The time might come when she needed a name or a location. Or, with his form being a dog, someone to track something down for her by scent.

"You have my word that what I ask will not exceed what you have asked."

"So, to confirm, the size of the place I ask for will equal the size of the favor you ask of me?"

Thankfully, Sirius probably wouldn't need a place that was too big. But at the same time, there was a risk for his soul and he was rather fond of where that currently was. Although he could only wonder about the favor. Who knew with Fae?

"Mind if I have some time to think about it?"

It was a tempting offer. He wasn't sure how he was going to find somewhere safe to stay on his own.

"Of course."

She took something out of her pocket and offered it to him. It was a piece of paper, folded, with black kanji written on one side.

"Just burn this if you decide to take me up on my offer. I'll find you."

There's the briefest moment of hesitation before he takes the paper, examining it before he folds it and slides it into his pocket. Whether or not he takes her up on her offer, it's still going to be a useful thing to have.

"I'll remember that. Thank you, Akane."
