THE ALIEN HORDES↴ On the morning of Day 44, things go a bit differently. The carnival opens it's doors and for an hour, things are going just fine...until the aliens attack, that is. ► ALIEN INVASION: The carnival, the athlete's village, and Olympic Spaceship will find themselves overrun by aliens: specifically, a race called the Greimen. The name's accurate: they look like stereotypical grey aliens, only 2-4 feet tall. They're invading the spaceship and the planet, trying to take control of Zargon and Olympic Spaceship for themselves. The main strength these aliens have is their numbers: there's literally thousands of them. Unfortunately for the aliens, they don't have many other strengths. They're easily punchable, kickable, ray guns permanently set to stun, and other amusing space weapons designed to minorly inconvenience people. ► FUCK THIS SHIT I'M OUT: The fighting lasts for a good half-hour or so before the Ringmaster decides no, this is dumb. Characters who aren't at the carnival will feel a compulsion to return to the carnival. Once everyone's there, the Ringmaster will magically eject the remaining aliens from carnival grounds and yank the carnival away from the Olympics themselves. ► OOC GUIDELINES: Despite the fact that this is a fight log, the carnage shouldn't be too excessive! No horribly mutilating the aliens, y'all. The aliens are only mildly better equipped than the Space Olympics themselves, so everything will be a bit comedic and light-hearted. Characters can get hurt, but the wounds should tend more towards 'amusing injuries' than 'someone losing a leg'. As the log's forward-dated, feel free to keep doing all your fun space olympics nonsense in the other logs!

That's... well, that's good enough. Nobody got shot, at least. Yuya turns on his heels to face Rita. "Come on, we have to get back to the carnival before they do something really bad!"

Like start kidnapping people. Yuya would like to avoid making this the third time in a row they've gone to a place and watched people get kidnapped with a result, so he's already reaching for Rita's wrist to pull her along as if he isn't still totally lost.

[anti_nonsense]

"Wait... hey!" In Rita's confusion, she lets him grab her wrist and pull her along several steps before she jerks her arm free. "I can walk by myself!" she insists, though she continues to move along with him. She was going to start heading back anyway -- it's not like she's doing it because he wants her to!

As they build some distance between themselves and the commotion, however, she finally comments on what just happened. "Hmph... You really believed that stuff you were saying, didn't you? About working together, and all that crap." If it was anyone else, Rita would've assumed it was all empty platitudes, but this is Yuya.

[hippocarnival]

Rita won't have any trouble pulling her wrist free. Yuya just looks startled at her when she yells, drawing his hands in and slowing down as he mentally catches up to what happened.

Burr he doesn't lag for long before he strides forward to catch up, closing the space easily with his longer legs.

He's no less confused, though, looking down at her when she asks him about his little speech. "Of course I do. I don't like fighting, and aren't we always more successful when we work together?"

[anti_nonsense]

"Maybe when we work together, but I don't know about idiots like that one." Yuya's a good ally, she has to admit, but he could probably stand to be more careful about who he extends his friendliness to. "I doubt they'll be cleaning up their act anytime soon."

But as stupid as Yuya's optimism is... it takes guts for a person to say what he really believes, even at gunpoint. Rita won't say it to his face, but she respects that. Better to be a sincere idiot with real convictions than a hopeless loser who changes his tune when it's convenient.

[hippocarnival]

Yuya laughs at that. "Maybe... but I won't know if I don't even give them the chance to change, right? I think if they were really beyond helping, we'd already be shot."

He shrugs and gives Rita a toothy grin. He's not going to stick around and see if they'll make any effort to change, but it doesn't hurtto believe they might... at the least, they're more capable of it than someone like the Prince.

[anti_nonsense]

"Hmph. If he tried it, I would've burned him before he even finished pulling the trigger," Rita boasts. Of course, the fact that she didn't do so preemptively and instead decided to fight him with words suggests she might be closer to Yuya's stance on the whole thing than she cares to admit.

[hippocarnival]

But maybe for once they can avoid getting in some huge fight. The carnival's track record for that is awful, it's kind of discouraging.

"By the way, do you know how to get out of here?" Because despite having tried to take the lead, Yuya is in fact still very lost and has no idea which hallways lead back to the carnival. Especially when they're trying not to trip over small aliens or get shot.

[anti_nonsense]

"You don't know?" Rita asks, like it's obvious.

"Come on." She takes a few forceful strides to put herself slightly ahead of him, allowing her to lead the way back to the carnival.

[hippocarnival]

"I got kind of turned around." He's not shy to admit he got lost, anyway. Yuya lets Rita take the lead, since she seems more confident about where he's going.

He looks over his shoulder once. "I hope everyone with the Olympics is going to be okay."
