+ The Time Has Come, the Time Is Now +

Who: Everyone in Wonderland!
Where: The chessboard hills
When: Monday, June 11, all day starting at 10:00 AM
Rating: R for (sometimes excessive) violence
Summary: The Queen of Hearts has declared war and the time for battle has come.
The Story:
♥ ICly, the Real Things who will act as pieces volunteered and are led by the Red Queen. The Mirrors were chosen by the Queen of Hearts without being given a choice. The Queen of Hearts announced her choices to her Mirrors very directly, with an order to show up at 10:00 AM on the chessboard, ready to fight. The Red Queen announced her choices more politely, but just as firmly, with a text message sent out over the network listing her pieces and requesting their assistance to protect their fellow Real Things. Characters were not ICly able to respond to this message.

♥ Those pieces who choose to obey the summons will have time to gather any items or weapons they might want to have with them, within reason. Those who don't heed the summons will find themselves suddenly and instantly transported to their square on the chessboard when 10:00 AM rolls around. They will arrive with anything that was on their person at the time, as well as one weapon (whatever it would be normal for them to use). Likewise, any spectators who are not in or around the stands by 10:00 AM will find themselves transported there.

♥ Each player sports an armband, white for the Real Things and Black for the Mirrors, with the shape of their assigned chess piece embroidered in the opposite color. Royalty pieces wear crowns indicative of their status. Should a pawn be promoted to queen, a crown will appear on their head.

♥ Pieces will find that they can't leave their assigned spots until they're told what square to move to by either the Queen of Hearts or the Red Queen. And if they refuse to move, after a couple of moments, an unseen force will scoot them along to their new space.

♥ When threading moves on the board, please find the appropriate top-level under which to comment! It might be helpful to label your thread with which move/encounter you're playing out.

♥ Players on the board can not communicate with those in the stands and vice versa (other than by jumping around and flailing, I guess). However, players on the board can communicate directly with those in squares adjacent to them or with any challenger whose square they share. Since some pieces have a lot of down time, feel free to have them chat with others on the board while they're waiting around.

♥ Directions from the Queens can be assumed. Go ahead and play out moves without waiting for a comment to officially announce them.

♥ The plotting and info post for this log is here.

Have fun!

Never.

[With everything she has, Pearl lunges at Starlight and tackles her to the ground, striking her with a hard fist.]

Oh!

[That actually does surprise Starlight. She overestimated how weakened Pearl would be. It isn't exactly a crippling blow, but as she struggles out of Pearl's grip, she notices that Pearl's managed something that bothers Starlight a whole lot more than physical pain would have.

She's smudged the equal sign on Starlight's flank, making it all too clear it isn't a real cutie mark.

Sure, here with her Real trotting around and flaunting her real cutie mark and totally buying Twilight's line about differences making friendships stronger, it probably isn't much of a secret. Still, she doesn't like being revealed as a fraud, even if she does need to keep it in order to remove other peoples' marks.]


Well, fine then. The hard way it is.

[And she sends a sharp blast of light turquoise magical energy straight at Pearl's chest.

And to think, if things had gone differently they could have been friends.]

[The first thing that Pearl notices when Starlight squirms away is the peculiar mark on her flank. Her hand has smudged it. Odd.]

[Odd enough to distract her just long enough for a beam of magic to fire right at her chest. It connects squarely with the Diamond symbol there and the last thing that anyone watching sees of Pearl's light form is her pupils tightly constricting and her form stiffening before it explodes in a cloud of smoke and leaves behind a gemstone.]

[It drops to the ground almost poetically.]

[Inside, Pearl's conscience instantly attempts to reform herself, but she is stuck. She's failed.]
