FIGHTY PREPLAY - Blackreef, Monday Afternoon

[lets_do_the_timeloop]

Welcome to the preplay for the big fight, which will go up on Monday afternoon European time!

This one's pretty straightforward: you guys will be fighting goons and Julianna while Egor skips around and takes potshots. Egor has the power to turn invisible, buuut your buddy Colt has set up devices all around the perimeter that disrupt his invisibility.

Two of you, as the RNG dictates, will finally corner Egor near one of these devices and take him out.

Now, that's not what fixes the time loop. What fixes the time loop is Egor and Colt and Julianna dying. Luckily, Colt is on your side, and he'll take care of the rest, so a few minutes after Egor goes down, you'll all find yourself catapulted back to Fandom as the time loop ends.

One last thing: you can still die here, if you want. Anyone who dies before the loop shuts down will wake up on the island on Tuesday morning, as healthy as they were when they woke up on Monday morning. Let me know in the OOC if you want an NPC to, ahem, arrange that for you.

At that, Illyana actually looked conflicted. "There's other people caught in a loop somewhere else? Where?"

There was nothing more she wanted than to rip his throat out with her bare hands. But if there were other people trapped the same way...

They couldn't just leave them to it, could they? As much as it annoyed her sometimes, Fandomites tended towards heroism. Even her, sometimes.

Rey moved the lightsaber blade slightly closer, just so he knew they meant business.

In case everything leading up to this hadn't been enough of a hint.

"Nobody's caught," Egor said. Squirming a little, maybe. "Everyone chose to be on Blackreef, in the loop. It's not my problem no one around this island seems to see the appeal."

Oh look, there went any chance he was walking out of this alive, as Egor brushed a little too close to Illyana's control issues around terrible men taking away her freedom.

Her face twisted with rage. "No one on this island was given a choice," she hissed, "--and we don't take kindly to nasty little creatures making choices for us."

"Kill him, or I will." And she was going to make it messy.

Rey didn't work on orders as a general rule, but she knew he was telling the truth. Screwing up the loop for people who chose to be a part of it wasn't worth an entire town of people who didn't.

So she plunged the lightsaber into his chest while telling herself he'd be fine tomorrow.

"Wait," Egor started, "I didn't mean you should--"

That was about as far as he got. The 'saber pushed through his chest, and he went slack instantly.

Moments later, and his body fell away into rainbow-colored flecks of light. Before those, too, faded to the wind.
