AUGUST EVENT: MEDIEVAL LAND FUN-TIME WORLD

[no one is manning the metal detector; Friday isn’t anywhere near it. technically, this means you could smuggle whatever you want into the excursion. but, Friday would be sad if she found out, so is it really worth it?

they pass through the metal detector to a splitting headache, a new set of medieval-inspired clothes, and a clearing in a dense forest, filled with the large tents and arenas of a European tournament grounds.

from the woods comes a man sitting on a mostly skeletal giant stag: unlike the rest of the animals, this one still has some skin left hanging on its bones, though it’s ragged and moth-bitten, hardly more than leather. the man himself is large, tall and broad, with more fat than muscle and shocks of gray in his black hair and beard. two faceless drones, black haired and dressed as pages despite being clearly older men, stand on either side of him.]


Not much to look at, are they? [the drones do not respond. his booming voice then turns onto whatever crowd has arrived first thing in the morning.] Might as well save myself the effort of the usual speech: you lot know why you’re here, and what you’re going to do. Simple as that. Not even allowed to take any quarries…

[he kicks the ribs of the stag, which turns and begins to trot back to the grounds. he doesn’t even turn over his shoulder as he continues to shout at them.]

King Robert Baratheon welcomes you to Stag’s Mire! Glory awaits you - if you’ve got the guts to take it!

[the pages stand in silence for a few moments more, faces trained on the newcomers, before they too turn to chase after their master.]

[He glances up into the trees as if a bird will magically appear right in front of them.]

Will be hard to see if are bones. Maybe can smell them.

[He sniffs the air, and then his hands. Doesn't really smell like bones, but it's something. Scenting the air again he snorts and then dashes off to the side.]

configuration_birdwatcher: Bastion looking forwards, down, and to their right, with the camera looking up at them from around chest height. (what's that)

// Where are you going?

[ Should they toss him some fruit...? They follow Yufei, not that they know what he's directing them at. ]
knotawolf: (Steady)

[He drops down to all fours and sniffs the air again.]

Birds.

[Which definitely answers the question. At least the next thing he does will, as Yufei leaps about twenty feet straight up, crashes into a tree, and there's some squawing, some growling, a lot of leaves are falling everywhere, and he returns holding a physically impossible skeleton duck that's really unhappy about this whole scenario.]
