⇨ THE HUNT

[ringleaders]

Who: Everyone!
When: Day 173, the Afternoon
Where: Heartstone Manor Courtyard
What: Everyone goes into the forest with arrows, swords, and horses and is told to hunt and the kill the biggest beast they can find. Best kills win a prize! Or, if you'd rather not, you can wander around the forest and pretend to hunt instead.
Warnings: Violence and ethical quandaries.

BEASTS OF BURDEN↴ Come the day of the Hunt, everyone will be brought to the courtyard forest and provided with arrows, bows, and blades as requested. Magic and other weaponry can be used to hunt, but it is suggested by the Prince that the best kill is the one done in a gentlemanly manner, which probably means he will be most impressed by those using the tools provided. The "Best Kill" will be determined from a mixture or whatever beast the Prince decides is best, and the method in which it was killed. The less damage done to the body the better - tearing the body apart will receive poor grades. The corpses are not yours to eat or keep, and all must be returned to the Prince at the end of the day for judgment. The servants are especially nervous, tense, and solemn today, and unless they have no choice, most of them will be trying to give the courtyard a wide berth. Those that have to serve will have stony expressions, or at best will be trying to put on a cheerful face. If casually asked why they are upset, most of them will say something vague about the Hunt making them nervous, and how dangerous it is to participate. OOC: Those who make top levels will have a chance to be randomly selected for a couple particular plot events, so be prepared for that.

HUNT #1

[moonfang]

Zangetsu won't be hunting with anyone else, but even alone he is a formidable hunter. As a Hollow, a predator of pure instinct and ferocity, he probably qualifies for a +2 bonus. Zan is fast and inhumanly strong, possessing both sharp talons, sharp teeth on his mask, a large sword, and a variety of energy-based attacks. He fights in a berserker style, with little to no regard for his own safety or injuries. Combined with a healing factor, he's an OP son of a bitch perfectly designed for the hunt. Sorry though, Prince -- no prey of Zangetsu's will be going anywhere but his stomach. /loud buzzer sound/ DISSSSQUALIFIED.

Perytons are a much more attractive target than the small game abouts. And if he happens upon one that's been run ragged by a certain Blue Diamond, he's not too noble to steal a kill. Or to blow past Gon to get at it.

And if they happen to be cursed humans, why, EVEN BETTER!
