Mynx

The small crowd of 'applicants' waited by the booth for CheerMynx's return, trying not to step on any of the kitten minions that populated the area. As time ticked by, they began to grow restless, especially those who were either signed up or hoping to bid at the bachelorette auction. "Maybe she...got lost?" Patham asked the Raven, receiving only an avian shrug in reply. Twenty minutes later, a faint high pitched giggle was heard in the distance, growing louder as the familiar feline form came into view. Seeming to be chanting something unintelligable to herself, CheerMynx finally arrived at her booth, a small box held tightly in her paws. Failing to notice the stares from her impatient customers, CheerMynx giggled happily. "You all totally came? Awesome!" Brushing through the crowd, the feline tried to find a spot to stand where everyone could see her. realising it was impossible on the level ground, her eyes lit up as she saw the top post of her booth. With a graceful leap, CheerMynx dug three of her paws into the wood, the fouth still holding tightly to the box. After a brief internal struggle of wits and coordination, she finally managed to climb up to the top sign where she perched with a wide smile. "Okay! So it's like totally time to reveal the secret to flying! I totally have the answer right here in this box!" Prying the lid off, CheerMynx reached in and dug out the contents of the box - a small piece of card with some writing on it. Reading the words intently, CheerMynx's smile widened even more and she stood up on the railing. "So! All you need to do is just, like, throw yourself at the ground!" A dumbfounded silence followed the statement, as everyone looked up at the feline in confusion. Deciding that the silence was a request for a demonstration, CheerMynx giggled and leapt off the top of her booth. About halfway down, a butterfly fluttered in front of her face, completely distracting the feline from the task she was undertaking. "Oooh!" CheerMynx giggled and reached for the brightly coloured insect, completely ignoring the ground beneath her... Which she didn't hit. Hovering about 5 feet off the ground, CheerMynx giggled happily, her audience forgotten as she tried to chase the butterfly in the middle of thin air. Also forgotten was the card she had read from. It fluttered down slowly and came to rest on the booth next to the Raven. Tilting his head, the bird picked up the card in one talon and peered at it, before offering it for someone else to read. Panther took the card from the avian and looked at it closely, before looking at the opposite side and laughing. "Our...teacher didn't seem to finish explaining the lesson. This card does say we need to throw ourselves at the ground but," with this he turned the card over. "...we need to miss the ground." OOC: Yes it really is that simple! Adapted from Douglas Adams' idea in his Hitchhikers series, the 'simple' rule to flying is to throw yourself at the ground and miss. For a scatterbrained cheerleader, this is easy, but how about for the rest? Please write your attempts in as much detail as you wish. I will be awarding geld for the best works and everyone who posts an attempt will automatically receive 20 geld (cancelling out the 10 geld you paid at the start, so everyone gets 10 geld). Go wild folks!

Giggling as she looked down the list of names, CheerMynx dug out a sign and placed it over the front of her booth to announce that applications were closed, before hopping up onto the booth's table and whistling to get everyone's attention. "Okay! So we like have some nice numbers now and in a little bit I'm gonna totally reveal the secret to you all, kay? So like, stay tuned and get ready for class to begin!" Beaming widely, the cheerfeline hopped back down and disappeared quickly to finish preparing. OOC: I said no more sign ups tho I'll listen to special appeals. I should get the chance to post the next part up before my next exam though atm it's touch and go...

Katelyn groaned inwardly and rolled her eyes as she listened first to the lawyers drone on and then members of the jury. This was such a waste of her time, why had she agreed to do it again? It definitely wasn't worth the $15 just to come in each day... Katelyn sighed wistfully as she rememered the luxury she had been able to enjoy back in New York. She still hated her folks for what they did to her by dying. Now some of the people in court had more expensive clothes than her, she thought bitterly as she stared gloomily at the tight, black clothes she wore... Noticing a stern glare from a jury member, Katelyn forced herself to sit up and pay attention. Sueing a tobacco company was ludicrous, she personally believed. Just because the cigarettes give you cancer doesn't make it their fault when you could just so easily stop smoking... Mind you, if this payed off it would be a very lucrative kind of ludicrous. Why didn't I think of this? she sighed to herself as yet another jury member decided to speak. This is going to be a long week...

Punch

CheerMynx raced onstage, blonde hair and pompoms flying as she bounded down the catwalk and skidded to a halt at the end. "Hi," she panted, "sorry...lunch break...like...got to get back to flying lessons...totally..." Taking a few moments, the attractive feline composed herself and, smoothing down her hair and cheerleader's outfit, beamed at the audience and tried again. "Hi! My name's CheerMynx for anyone here who hasn't, like, met me before and I've signed myself up for the bachelorette auction again cause I like so totally had so much fun the last time! So that means that anyone out there who thinks they'd like a date with me, just totally bid your geld, okay?" Smiling widely, the feline checked her watch, spent a few minutes trying to figure out what time the hands were pointing at, and after finding she still had a few minutes, decided to use them for her own means... "Also, feel like, totally free to come and check out my Flying Lessons! I promise they will be super fun! But you gotta be in to play!" Giggling, the feline did a typically cheerleader pose before bounding off the stage and racing back to her booth...

Gods, bird. That nearly killed me from laughing so hard. Not sure how true it is, but thank you none the less

A rather bedraggled Mynx emerges from the foray of hugs, blankets and general good wishes, a dazed smile on her face while a suspicious looking bookbag gnaws on her tail... Thank you everyone for your well wishes to me, be they here in this thread or given to me otherwise. It really helped to get me through the study for my exam and it's always nice to know that people care. Wish you could all come to my party...if anyone can get to NZ before my exams finish (21/06) then you're welcome to come! With that, Mynx sets the bookbag on fire and wanders off in search of Cryptomancer to thank him for the song...

Happy Birthday Falcon! Nice to share the day with you

Forever

Being impatient, I normally prefer knowing the roles of whoever was wolfed/lynched when it happens. But having said that for this game I think the secrecy worked really well. And yeah I'd be interested in another game, just need some time to get over everything else in RL and get my head around another character... Fun game Tanny. Thanks heaps

It may be the byproduct of boredom... But I liked it.

OOC: I'm wondering if I should clarify this a bit more. Right now I'm looking for people like the lovely Ayshela here to 'sign up' to learn how to fly. Then I'm going to reveal the 'secret' and award geld for how you write your attempts at the task (so while it 'costs' 10 geld you'll be making more than that back at the end). Make more sense?

Ack! *looks around* What? Everyone else was saying it... *slinks off*
