BARiTONES & avante en garde

[idolpro]

[ Standing on the deck of a grand galleon rocking in the midst of clear, turquoise waves. In front of your boat is an island--deserted, of course--and next to the steering wheel you'll find two large chests, one filled with bags of gold and the other filled with dark, round, innocuous looking balls, as well as two maps--one clearly depicting the uncharted island in front of you, and the other--a treasure island. And apparently just for shits and giggles, there's a pile of pirate-themed accessories in your unit color(s) you can put on--eye patches, plastic swords and water pistols, fake stuffed parrots, bandanas, a Captain's hat--even a peg-leg or two.

Your phones chime and instructions to choose where to hide both the treasure and traps on your island based on your map appears. ]

[ Players, note that you have until 3pm PST/6pm EST to make sure your unit's card is completely filled out and ready to go! Feel free to thread out burying the treasure, just selecting the spots, or fighting over the accessories, whatever floats your literal boat. ]

[ Hi I'm not BiT. ]

It is. Hello.

[failedsafe]

Oh wow, okay, I am super confused as to how these work! Hi, Gold! I really didn't expect to see you here, haha!

[calmthefoxdown]

I didn't really either, but apparently pairing up teams is getting more and more common.

[failedsafe]

Erm. Won't that make things really complicated in the really dickish games? Going from friends to enemies and back again and such?

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Shrugs. ]

They usually like complicated and drama.

[failedsafe]

[she rubs the back of her head, shaking her absolutely massive hair]

Yeah, I guess they would. How lame and lousy.

[calmthefoxdown]

[ That's so much hair... ]

Mm, the game itself seems simple, at least.

[failedsafe]

[it's like ten feet and very thick]

Yeah, no lost limbs or anything like that, hahaha...ha.

[yeah she's a bit bothered by what she's heard.

But she puts a fist to an open palm, psychedup]

Anyway, lets do our best for those who aren't here!

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Does he tell her he has no idea if they're about to lose limbs or not... ]

[ ... Nah... ]

Mm... be ready for anything.

[failedsafe]

That's a little ominous to say...but I guess very reasonable, considering.

Alright, be prepared for anything, expect the unexpected.

[She pats her face twice.]

[calmthefoxdown]

I figured it'd be better than just... not warning you in case.

[failedsafe]

Nah, you're right. [she smiles gratefully and shoves her nerves away]

Thanks, Gold.

[calmthefoxdown]

[ A little smile of his own. ]

No problem.

[ Offering her the stuffed parrot he'd been fiddling with in his hands. ]

Wanna go for the aesthetic?

[failedsafe]

[She grins brightly.]

Oh, heck yes.

[going to accept that parrot and don a hat and eyepatch.]

I think sacrificing a little depth perception is worth it for the aesthetic.

[calmthefoxdown]

Aesthetic is very important.
