pawsteps thick and heavy, eyes tired and void of energy, head drooping as they shook sleep from their bones. yawning, the kingpin stretched, looking outside the mouth of their den at the slight snow dusting the island. shaking their pelt free of the linings of their nest, they stepped outside, the cold brittle chill of the snow seeping into their paws, claws shivering in their sheaths at the bite. gods above, it was too cold to step onto. thank gods that they were relying on their jaguar body for the most part now a days. pacing outside and taking to the bank after a long jump over the waters encircling the small 'isle' that they called home. climbing up the hill, looking out at the dock and the snow encircling it, they gave a deep rumble of release, pacing up the hill after merging to the path.

hearing the sounds around them, they looked up as they heard the sound of laughter, watching children racing about the boardwalks of the cliffside housing, their gaze warm as they observed the youths playing what seemed to be a game of tag. humming as they came to the top of the hill, they turned to look at the inn with a chuckle before waiting for the children to come running up the path from the cliffside housing. "good morning, little ones. what were you playing just now? it looked like a lot of fun![b]", they murmured, nodding as the children looked to one another before answering that they were playing a game of tag. thanking the children as they took off for the inn, the kingpin smiled as they watched the children go. following after the children more slowly, they took into consideration the event going on recently, humming to themself, "[b]well, this is a unique time. why not spice it up a little?", they murmured to themself, tail curling in thought as they entered the inn.

sitting down before one of the tables, the kingpin let out a call, "alithians! let's play a game!", when others came out of their rooms or looked over to them, they smiled, "let's play a game of tag and capture the flag, but with a twist. whoever is 'it', and whoever they tag, becomes a 'monster'! those who running from the monster and their teammates will have a piece of fabric that they must protect. players can try to sabotage their teammates, and should the monsters catch them, they give up their piece of fabric and become a monster and take down the remaining players! we will be racing as well! we are starting here at the inn, and we will be racing to the mid lake towers! feel free to do whatever you wish, as long as you do not hurt one another.", they announced, looking around, "feel free to ask any questions you might have! here are the pieces of fabric, i'll start off as the first monster unless someone else would like to!", they grinned.

        Sam pop out of her room and made to her towards Bai very curious that Bai wanted to start a game. Thinking about this she may still not fully understand Bai since her scare. Observing the others come out with their own curiosity and listening to Bais instructions of the game. "Wow that sounds fun." This seems like the perfect way to relieve some stress from the battles. "I have no complaints you being first." Nodding along with not being the monster first is best since she havent played many games.

"You're too nice, Bai Shi! You'd make a terrible monster for realsies!" Wuyi chirped. The cub hopped over, all four paws touching down and jumping into the air simultaneously, and giggled softly. Xe stopped by a bundle of the cloths and chose a pink one. The fabric hung out of his mouth, speared clean through by one of his lower canines, and Wuyi grinned up at Sam and Bai Shi.

Already hopping away, Wuyi giggled louder the father away xe traveled. "My legs are shorter!! So I should get a head start!"

THE KINGPIN

golden lung dragon & black jaguar w/ vitiligo & platinum silver fox. god of war - ancient. bai shi lynn lingré. proper chinese name is lin bai. prefers lynn if close. they/them. formerly blind. wind element & electric element. firstborn son of jerisidie lingré & current head of family. courting halo mercer. kingpin of alithís evgenis. demiromantic gray-asexual. parent of veris, arvin, leoku, erian, flos, kekhai, evarhi, laeglin, sloan and colwyn. elder brother of ramona and hope, uncle of quennel and cosette.

a deep booming laugh would escape the kingpin, eyes glittering, "alright, alright. sam, grab a piece of fabric. everyone who is a survivor, you get to take the lead. yknow what? feel free to hide too. let's have some fun with this game!", they would laugh, debating on what form would give them the right amount of speed to play along. shedding their current body for their fox body, the reynaurd sat silently near the pile of fabric, smiling as they watched childish delight pick up among the NPCs, such creatures racing off. "alright, you guys have a few moments ahead of me to start, alright?", they would call out, grinning slightly as they watched wuyi hop off with xyr pink fabric in xyr jaws.

Seeing Wuyi's enthusiasm towards this little game Bai Shi created, the goddess would sit back and watch for a little bit in her smilodon form, a smile on her face. This is what Kade would have wanted- their children to enjoy themselves and not worry about battles or wars for years to come, or of being alone. She would always be there for their children, no matter what. Both of them were her lifelines- if anything happened to them, she was likely to lose herself to the same insanity that gripped her beloved. But she would remain strong for them. As long as they remained alive and thriving, everything would be alright.

She made sure to tell their children stories about Kade, the good ones so they had something to remember their other mother by. Playerone did hope that one day, however, the godkiller would return unscathed to see how well their children were doing and they all could reunite as a family... but that was highly unlikely. But god, did the god hope she would come back to them.

Her tail flicked as she watched them begin their game, and a rush of excitement flooded Play. She yelled out,

"Show 'em what you're made of, Wuyi!"

        Hearing Bais instructions to take a flag Sam dove her face into one and ran off a bit. Turning to see how the others are doing once herself is out of reach waiting for everyone to start. Running is one of her past times for distractions and so her body has a lot of muscle just for that so hopefully itll help with Bai being the monster.
