Prompt #5: Show of Hands

image

Adelena sat around the table with several others. A mix of pirates and deckhands that were all on shore leave. Various bottles and cups littered the table in arm’s reach. The middle contained a pile of coins. The group all seemed intent on their cards in hand.

Sharp eyes on the man from a merchant’s vessel. The man seemed to be acting rather shady. Whether it was nerves from playing with some known pirates… That was harder to say but Adel’s money was on cheating.

“Alright lads and lass. Show them hands.” The dealer of the group declared.

Adel knew she had a good hand. Lady luck was with her today. Yet something was telling her to keep her eyes on that man. She spread her cards on the table, subtly keeping her eyes on him. Ready to call him out.

Her hand beat the rest of the table. Then the shifty man placed his down. Adel had noticed that subtle shift. The man was keeping extra cards up his sleeve. It gave the man a winning hand. Just as he reached for the pile of coins, Adel pulled a knife from her belt and jabbed it down into the table mere inches from the man’s hands. It startled the man enough to make him jump. The loose hidden cards in his sleeves falling free.

“Bloody scallywag. Trying to cheat us? I’ll make you shark bait.” Adel growled at the man who backed away from the table. Her fellow card players stood up and also gave the man vicious looks. The man looked about to piss his pants before he took off and bolted from the room.

Adel sighed and put her dagger back into it’s sheath before sitting back down. “Now where were we? Another game, boys? Rums on me this round.”

Prompt #4: Bad Shortcuts

Valen sighed as he patted Hikari’s neck. Somehow his shortcut to save time had ended up costing him more. He’d somehow gotten himself and his chocobo lost. He wasn’t usually so bad at directions.

“I should have just stuck to the normal path. Then we wouldn’t be forced to camp tonight instead of having a nice soft bed. I’m sure you would have appreciated a nice pile of hay yourself, my friend.” Valen talked as he cared for his feathered companion. Making sure the chocobo was more then comfortable for the night.

Returning now would just cost more time then his ‘brilliant’ idea to save time with the shortcut. So here they were. Camping for the night in the woods. Hopefully he could make it by dawn after catching a couple hours of sleep. This job was unlikely to wait too long on him to show up before offering it to another hunter.

After all being a wandering minstrel only earned him so much coin. Especially now that he couldn’t charm every person out of some easy gil for a night in his company. He was determined not to disappoint Virae. Plus this gil would help with buying her a Starlight present.

Valen placed his roll down before getting comfortable. One last glance up towards the branches above the camp. “Good night, Lily. Good night, Hikari.” A soft chirp from the magpie only as Hikari was already napping.

Prompt #3: Sanctum

Stefan paused outside the doorway to this section of the ruins. Esper halted at his feet. Giving the place a quick look over with a glance before moving forward again when Esper gave him no warning.

This place had long since been looted of all the obvious items worth taking. However that did not erase everything. There was still the architecture and the carvings. All the little things that most looters paid zero attention to. The things that told people who lived here before. How they lived. Granted the items taken often helped immensely but Stefan could make due without them. It was good practice as well. Even if he would have preferred to have something to return with other then information.

Stefan paused at what looked to have once been an alter to the Twelve. Or maybe just one of the Twelve. It was hard to tell with the age of the ruins and the lack of items. All the same, this was clearly the inner sanctum of the ruins. A divine room where the people who had lived here would come to pray.

Continuing past the alter to check the walls for any further clues. Leaving Esper to guard his back as he studied. Especially since the mage often got far too absorbed in his work. It was the carbuncle’s job to watch over him. Esper always had his back.

Thankfully though this trip was peaceful. There was no real reason for most to come to a building long forgotten and already looted. Stefan practiced his skills of study for a couple of hours before Esper reminded him of the hour. Just a simple tug on his pant leg. Stefan tried not to be caught in ruins after dark.

One last look around the Sanctum before heading towards the door with Esper in tow.

Play Games Heal Kids

foxracinggurl:

Good Morning/Afternoon to my lovely internet friends! 

This year on November 3rd (TODAY!) I will be once again doing a 25 hour gaming marathon(thanks daylight savings time.) Extra Life is a fun way to support the epic job of saving and improving the lives of children at CMN Hospitals. Gamers like me will unite together to celebrate and help save the lives of such strong kids.

This year SickKids is undergoing a really challenging task, which is to rebuild their aging building and systems while keeping the hospital open. The money you donate goes to help save the day and allows them to continue to heal kids through this big hurdle!

This year my personal fundraising goal is $2500,  a higher amount of money then I have ever raised in one year! Thankfully I’m off to a great start with $1000 already raised from Extra Life United this past year. I traveled down to Orlando to participate in a life changing event in support of SickKids. Through the power of board gaming I was able to come in fourth bringing home money that is desperately needed by my hospital. 

My mission this year has been once again focused on helping spread the word about Extra Life through the Toronto Guild. I continued my roll as Secretary but continued to push for positive changes for the program as a whole. I now help run bi-monthly meetings to help foster discussion and support between the Canadian Guilds. I would appreciate a gift of any amount or you can join me on this epic quest and become a participant yourself! 

Please click the links at the bottom of the page to not only help me or my teammates but to help all the kids that are struggling with their fight today. All donations are collected securely by the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, I am beyond happy to say they are now accepting 🍁🍁🍁Canadian Currency!🍁🍁🍁   No more exchange rates!! 

I appreciate all of your support and for making it through this lengthy post. Remember to update me on your current mailing address if you donate so I can send my handwritten thank you card [Not cool with giving a stranger your mailing address? I can do a digital one too!] 

Love, Jess 

Local to Toronto? Come play some games with us down at Hive Esport Center!

Spread some love and help out one of my teammates make their goal!
