    • [X] Plan: Magic? Magic is nice.
      -[X] You dream of lightning and thunder, which you revel in. You sit with your father, who speaks to you even as the sky lights up with bolts of power, for you both know these will not touch you. You know you are of the Yellow tribe, the tribe of lightning, magic and knowledge. Even as a humanoid, you can weave the arcane energies more easily than any other.

      -[X] Ryza
      [X] Plan: I am the Night
      -[X] You dream of the moon and the shadows, for the darkness holds no terror for you. You are giggling as you play hide and seek with your father, who pretends he cannot see you until you leap upon him. Even the darkest of nights is your friend, for you are of the Black tribe, the tribe of shadow, mystery and cunning. You are equally at home on a moonless night as the blackest cave, and you can move silently at will.
      -[X] Daughter
      -[X] Mila
      [X] Plan: You're Welcome
      -[X] You dream of winds and howling gales that fill your soul with joy. You laugh as your mother's cold, careful breath lifts your tiny form into the air, knowing that she will never let you fall to the rough earth. You know that you are of the Green tribe, the tribe of wind, freedom and joy. Slender and graceful, you are fast of body and fast of thought

      [X] Plan: Totally not a GBA reference
      -[X] You dream of basking under the sun, warm and content. You hear again and again the stories of the First Mother, the Great Divine who birthed the manakete at the dawn of time. You know that you are specially blessed by her, as you are of the White tribe; the tribe of light, truth and the divine. The blessings of the world are upon you, your feathery scales marking you as lucky by birth.

      [X] Plan: Totally not a reference to another fantasy themed game
      -[X] You dream of basking under the sun, warm and content. You hear again and again the stories of the First Mother, the Great Divine who birthed the manakete at the dawn of time. You know that you are specially blessed by her, as you are of the White tribe; the tribe of light, truth and the divine. The blessings of the world are upon you, your feathery scales marking you as lucky by birth.

      [X] Plan: Fir? Never heard of her.
      -[X] You dream of winds and howling gales that fill your soul with joy. You laugh as your mother's cold, careful breath lifts your tiny form into the air, knowing that she will never let you fall to the rough earth. You know that you are of the Green tribe, the tribe of wind, freedom and joy. Slender and graceful, you are fast of body and fast of thought

    • Voting will end in about 3 hours: we currently have a tie between making a break for it or trying to seal up the wall.

    • [X] Agree with Artemis and try to close the wall. You're good at magic; surely you can figure out whatever trick Father used to make the wall appear and disappear. Then the two of you can be safe.
      [x] Disagree and suggest that you run. This is your home; you know it well, even in the dark. You are sure you'll be able to evade them and lead Artemis to safety. Besides, you can fly, it'd be easy to keep ahead of them.
      [X] Disagree and suggest that you stand and confront them. Artemis described them as bad people and seems scared of them, but if Artemis is human, they're probably human to. You are a manakete: you're not afraid of some humans.

    EDIT: Tie unbroken, so I'll just throw a dice. 1 is flee, 2-3 is close wall.

    • Voting will end tomorrow at around 3:30 Pacific time. We're currently tied between trying to distract Artemis and suggesting she go to sleep.

    Tied again. 1 is Distract, 2 is Sleep.
    Nap time it is then :)

    Also, while I'm writing this, let's use a proper mini-vote to do this properly: what do we want Ryza to look like. None of these will be exactly how she looks. For example, A would not have glasses, but what is the essence of Ryza's look?

    [] A
    [] B
    [] C
    [] D
    [] E

    Once again, thank you to @Ryumancer for the pictures.

    So, i did manage to dig up a few possibilities for Ryza's appearance, and i'm curious to see what you all think. I think i'm leaning towards B or C the most, but...

    Jeez, what is it with you lot and ties? It's like you're deliberately trying to do it!

    I'm going to have a quick runoff at the end of the next post, with only B and E being options.

    Currently, Blonde Ryza's going to try and sweet-talk her trusted friend into letting her help.
