mud fight

mud fight
what's up?
An old suspension bridge that looks like it was recently repaired leads them up an incline toward Peter's island in the middle of the lake. There's a sign at the end, aged and faded, that reads "NEVERLAND". The tree at the center of the island is massive, beyond the scale of any real-world tree, and fairy lanterns hang from its branches, giving the canopy a soft glow. (If anyone flies or climbs closer to inspect, they would discover that the lanterns are inhabited by wisps.)
The lake below seems calm and definitely not dangerous. It would probably be very fun to jump off or even throw someone off the side of Neverland. :^)
quick notes
  • everyone is invited! peter flew around town hootin' n hollerin' about coming up to his treehouse to sling mud and duke it out. if they can't make the trek to the island/can't make it across the rope bridge, peter will carry them in his legs like a harpie. it's not a comfortable ride, but it's a fast one.
  • only the ground floor of the treehouse is accessible. there's a restroom here and a place to lounge and wash off, but not much to discover. the lake, conveniently, also doesn't have anything interesting going on right now. (tbh it's bc i'm on hiatus and i dnw to do rolls and responses for snooping n discovering, ALSO I HAVE A RLY BAD MIGRAINE IDK, SORRY!! maybe another time!!)
  • there isn't a bracket or any one winner but peter is going around giving random rewards for "cool points" regardless of it they win their fight or not.
  • how to play
    There are two sections for play:
    No Powers: For fair fights with no powers being used; characters that can't turn them off would go in the Free-For-All group. Functionally, this is for mud fights using straight rolls and no bonuses. In-character, they're encouraged to "fight like normies" and the slippery mud is being used to handwave why a trained athlete like Toby is on the same level as her softer sibling.

    Free-For-All: Characters can use their powers here! You can add a bonus of up to +5. Again, the slip'n'slide-y nature of the game is used to handwave why someone who's the best-of-the-best might lose against someone with less flashy powers.

    Go to the appropriate headers, fill out the form, and people can reply. Y'all can hash out how it happened or thread or keep rolling for re-matches, whatever you want!! It's p loosey goosey, have fun. Use the #dice-rolling channel on discord to roll for yourself.

    After hearing about the mud fight from Peter, Dylan sought out someone from his Tale to go with him. The first person he found was Cookie and asked if she'd hold his shirt while he mud wrestled.

    Upon approaching the bridge he takes the first step carefully but just tells himself he probably won't die and forges on!

    Willow came here to watch, but is standing a little too close to the mud fight arena. He's here for one (1) fight, long enough to serve as an example of how mud fights work.

    Willow doesn't think he's part of the fight so he doesn't expect this at all. When he sees Peter looking at him, he's about to greet him but mud flies into his open mouth and he goes SPLAT and falls booty-first into the mud.

    He scurries away after this.

    Dylan came here to get some fighting practice in. He doesn't have any powers that would be helpful in this kind of fight so he would have preferred the 'no powers' ring.

    But if he finds there aren't a lot people who want to duke it out here, he'd go over to the free-for-all eventually...

    Barrett lifts a mudball and is about to lob it at Dylan when he slips and falls back first into the mud instead and his mud lob slips through his fingers. Defeat before the fight could even get off the ground.

    Dylan winces at Barrett's fall. And because when someone ends up failing so bad, Dylan can't help but be honorable and tries to help Barrett up.

    This is also a failure.

    They are now both in the mud, despite no fighting actually happening.

    toby loves running in mud (i wrote that comment before the ic/ooc content, cue sunglasses emoji). and fights. and competitions. she's not here to kill you, tho, she just wants to have a good time. also her powers have nothing to do with mud fights so this seems like a more fun category for her.

    Poppy tries to kick-splash back, but slips a little bit as she's winding up. Mud does fly at Toby, but mostly because she's scrabbling to keep her balance.

    Have you ever tried to catch mud?

    Toby has.

    She doesn't succeed.

    She falls on her face.

    It's a sneak attack! Shortly after she finished one fight, Dylan is working as quickly as possible to hit her multiple times with mud. Because he know that his only hope is to overwhelm her in the beginning.

    Sneak attacks are for COWARDS! Toby's suitably surprised and thereby covered in mud. She gets a couple retaliatory shots in.

    (and then i was like "let's roll for what she tries to do next" and)
    (rolled 1)

    The opposite of a sneak attack is a full-frontal assault. She launches forward to tackle Dylan, slips, scrambles, and lands on her face in a big ol' mud puddle.

    Has Dylan become one with the mud now? Maybe. It seems to go exactly where he wants -- on Toby.

    Just as she's about to get up he barrels towards her to try to keep her deep in the mud.

    Toby hollers "I'll get your fucking ass!" and despite the profanities sounds ike she might be having the best day of her life.

    That is, until she tries to throw him off, miscalculates, and somehow swipes the mud into her open, hooting mouth instead of Dylan's.

    She spews it out

    Dylan thinks for just a second that Toby is going easy on him. But based on their other training experiences that seemed too unlikely.

    "Gross, Toby, don't feed yourself mud," He teases as she tries to get the mud out of her mouth. Once it is mostly out her tries his best to keep her pinned because surely this is like wrestling and someone ends this with a bell?

    She gives him the finger, splashes mud at his face, and goes to reverse the pin. Like a person who was definitely trying to do that the whole time. The other stuff was......... totally a cover, yeah.

    The mud tides are turning and Dylan struggles to get back to his position from a few moments ago. He does his best to splash mud up at her from this position.

    Toby mostly doesn't mind that since she's already covered in mud anyways, but she does wince and blink some out of her eye.

    "Uncle's only two syllables, honey. Should be easy for you," she suggests. And winces again. And wonders for a sec if she can get an eye infection from mud.

    Dylan was about to respond, but this time he was the one who got mud in his mouth. Which, for the record, he did not recommend.

    "Don't feed yourself mud," Toby echoes with a grin, sitting back to give him the slightest relief. After all, there wasn't a trophy a stake and so she didn't need to murder him this time. "Admit you lost and you can wash it out."

    Indy only has powers in the water, so nothing that would help her here. She'd still be enthusiastic about all the messy wild fun, and be a good sport about any losses because she's not really very competitive.

    She's excited to play! Any takers?

    Dylan is also excited to play. He's selectively competitive so since Indy just wanted to have a good time, he would try to match her tempo.

    But he's still playing the game so he grabs two handfuls of mud, sure that if he has two attacks at least one of them will hit!

    ... it was close, but not quite accurate.

    ANYTHING ELSE?: Reminder/warning that the instinctual side of his powers means that if someone runs away from him, he is strongly compelled to chase the prey. 👀

    When no one was watching, Chester arrived. Like he'd been there all along. He watches silently, protected under a pink umbrella that doesn't match his dull clothes at all. "Who's winning?" he asks the person next to him, regardless of how clear or chaotic the current match is.

    "I don't know," Willow answers honestly. He's wearing a one-piece bathing suit and light rain coat in lieu of an umbrella. (His wet curls fall ✨Just So✨ and ✨Glisten✨ in the light. He's remarkably clean, given the event.)
