[Shenandoah]

((I have Yahoo messenger but I do not have anything in mind for a plot other than perhaps the Players meeting in the daylight. The last time I did this plot, no one progressed further than just playing to get out. We could have a 'reason' behind the Game, though. I just am a bit tapped on ideas at the moment.))

Once she was out of range of his hammer, he whipped the thing into existence and immediately hammered the side of a monster, smoothly fighting the lot of them off. At least with her out of range, he wasn't as worried about accidentally hammering her or watching out for her back. It was one of the reasons he preferred to not work alongside other Players even though the advantage of having someone watch your back was easily comparable to the annoyance.

Unfortunately, he mused to himself, it was very difficult to find someone capable of taking care of themselves. Most of them hadn't been in the Game as long as he had been. Maddison seemed like she could handle herself, though he wondered if she wasn't fighting to merely survive. The woman had obvious issues and seemed to delight in the chaos of the Game.

Patrick finished the monsters off and hightailed it to the warehouse. He flung the door open and it bounced off the wall with a loud clatter as he barreled in in his haste to get away from the exposed areas.

Robyn looked at him with some sadness. "I have to say... I haven't been long in it, either. I wish I knew what was coming, but as far as I know, the only way out is to survive." She had no idea what was on the other end other than eight hours of sleep and no longer having to wonder if she'd wind up comatose in the morning. She'd seen her fair share of nixed Players, staring blankly at nothing as the sun rose. The bracelets fixed the bodies up to perfect health...

...But the soul was no longer there...

"Five freaking months of only an hour's worth of sleep..." she sighed. "I'd love to get a full night in again." Even as she spoke, more monsters appeared. These were fairly freakish creatures this time... Monsters that looked like Venus Fly Traps that crawled along on skinny vine-feet. "Ugh... These guys... We need to take them out quick and get out of here. I do not want to be here for the rabbits."
