Garth Wright | Bowed Woods - The Orange King
The flying mecha horse had taken off at a break-neck speed that the young King had not expected. Thankfully, being in the front and not clinging to one of the people behind him, no one noticed the cold sweat that was forming on his brow despite the lack of any other signs of fear. The great Bowed Woods of the Silent Marauders was afraid of heights. Even virtual heights.
The anxiety of moving at such an unbelievable pace through the air, and on something that was so easy to fall off of as a horse such as this, had the King in quite the position. Show. No. Weakness Suddenly, approaching the White King appeared to have been the worst idea of his entire life.
"Uh, boss." It was the voice of Zealous Calm.
"What is it?" Was all that Woods could manage.
"We've overshot our destination... By a lot."
...Shit.
He tried to pull on the reins, to turn the monstrosity around much as Terror had done, but the thing was unresponsive, and he only managed to increase the altitude even farther. After a brief silence, Woods spoke again. "Nobody speak of this, on the punishment of repeated death." He received no response.
Attention! Attention! All players will be forcefully logged out of Deep Ground Online due to internal errors and damages! Attention! Attention! All players will be forcefully logged out immediately!
Just as the announcement blared, The Orange King's surroundings began to melt, and the sight of the ceiling fan of his office in the Orange Guild's headquarters faded into the spot where he had just been looking. He had been made Garth again. He looked around, still slightly dazed from the past few seconds. He could see from his second story window that overlooked the meeting hall of his Guild that many of the Silent Marauders were already filing in; they probably awaited some announcement pertaining to recent events. Garth sighed. It was time to speak in front of this entire lot of unappeased folk.
Allen Docson | Curved Solitaire
The events transpiring in the Black King's halls escalated in their bizarre ways. Another pair of kings had busted through, according to White, The Orange King was in the area too, more strange people joined in the conversation... It was placing a very claustrophobic air over the once lonely place. But before anything else placed his notice, Curved Solitaire finally registered the notice that his passive had activated.
He looked behind him and registered the face and name of Free Runner. Solitaire nodded in answer to Runner's question, even going so far as to mention his (very) recent joining of her Guild. But before their conversation could continue further, the same message being broadcast to the entire Deep Ground reached them.
Allen was in his room, lying comfortably on his bed. The late afternoon sun was drifting lazily in the sky, and highlighted the various bits of dust which drifted through the air. He swung his legs over, and began to stretch. Maybe I should get to my homework... The fact that such an occurrence as everyone being forcibly ejected from DGO was not startling to the Docson boy at all. It was a server error, nothing to be worried about, yet at the same time, he was figuring it to be, at the very least, a side effect of the hacker activity his new liege had brought up before.
Before he could put pencil to paper, Allen's thoughts were disrupted by yet another announcement; this one from the Student Council President, and liaison of the Black King herself. It was pretty standard, and contained much of the information that had been distributed while in the presence of the Black King herself. An interruption was an interruption still, and the short distraction had focused Allen on other things... Things such as his stomach. Perhaps now was a good time to stop by the cafeteria... and begin working toward his assignment as a new Ebony Stryker. Hell, perhaps it was time to get in contact with the Dark Wraith who was meant to be training him.
