I promise my post is nearly done! It's, like, 85% quotes, but it's almost done! It'd be finished, except I was rudely reminded of the four assignments I have to do over summer for school next year. _{mumble grumble}

@Tojin Oh dear, hope things get much better for you both soon!

In the meantime, I can totally deus-ex-machina you out of there and over to where everyone else is, unless you think Maria would for any reason not make it to the portal and go her separate way. :)

@Mokley

That'd be awesome, thanks. I'm likely not gonna be able to finish that post anyway, since I have now come down with a fever. =/

@Tojin Doin' ok? :)

@Mokley

Yeah, sorry! Apparently the beach actually did take up all my time. ^^'

Also my mom hurt her foot, and has been on crutches for the past couple days, so she needs me to do a lot of things that she can't do now because of her foot. She'll be off the crutches in a few weeks, if not sooner, but it'll be a tough time for us all.

The Dyson Shadow

Looks pretty intriguing.

@Arty Fox That's incredible. I like the little hat you gave Dud's avatar. It's cute.

@Dud Hey, wanna trade weather? You can have either fog and wind from where I am now, or record-breaking heat waves from where I actually live. Take your pick. =P

I'm not jealous at all.

@Dud

So far, it's been too cloudy and windy to actually make being on the beach worth it, at least in my opinion. The sun's coming out, but it's taking its sweet time doing so.

If you and Arty's beach has actual sunny weather along with the blackjack and hookers, I'd love to visit. =P

Moonfiend

Nope, everybody's gone through the portal -- as far as I know! xD

@Mokley

Cool. I'll probably finish my post today or tomorrow (assuming the beach doesn't take up most of my time =P).

Back in the armory

Maria had scrambled downstairs after everyone, glancing around quickly at the various weapons and armor on display. Her eyes settled on a large tower shield, lying on a rack next to a bin that said "EXPLOSIVE: DO NOT TOUCH, EXCEPT IN EMERGENCIES." Well, this certainly counts as an emergency, I would say. Maria thought. She opened the box and grabbed a double handful of the small, colorful balls it contained, then put them - carefully - into one of her jacket pockets, making sure to nest them among candy wrappers and various other soft bits and bobs. As an afterthought, she also grabbed the tower shield next to the grenades, noting that it was a good bit lighter than she thought it would have been. She was admiring the intricate design on the shield (a maze-like design etched into the front, spiraling outwards into a design that looked similar to a stylized set of bull's horns), when the lights suddenly went out. She looked up indignantly, and got out "Hey, who turned-" before catching sight of something that made her heart stop.

Dozens of eyes, belonging to almost that number of Grit. All looking directly at her.

Quick question: is anyone else left in the armory?

>SURPRISE ANOTHER VACATION

...So yeah, I'm gonna be on vacation for the next five days, starting tomorrow. I'll see if I can steal my dad's laptop for a bit to compose a post, but it's definitely not a sure thing.

In fact, I might type up a post while we're driving over to the place, then post it once I have internet again.
