Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Magna City Shining Congress – Main Lobby

Turn 5
Player Phase

The built-up core of Blacklight energy between Articuno's wingtips flickered and pulsed as it neared its critical point. The world seemed to be cast in monochrome as the singularity stripped away all colour, everything reduced to harshly contrasting highlights and shadows.

The whispers grew louder, stronger –

—if this Covenant cannot be mended, better to burn it all down and begin again—

Dave's Rock Smash dealt 9 damage to Blacklight Lord! It's hardly effective...
Dave's Umbral Recklessness dealt a CRITICAL 83 damage to Blacklight Lord! It's super effective!

– but one final unguarded onslaught by the Wayfarers was enough to rupture the Blacklight aura of Articuno.

The singularity consumed itself without fanfare, an implosion of Radiant and Shadow energies, unmelded, reducing each other to floating embers of light and darkness.

The Saint themself, utterly spent, floated down from on high and crumpled into a pile of feathers and ash on the Congress roof.

"Shadows reveal what you are not ready to state. But you must! Allow it to pull the truth from your soul! And then, with normal minds, and hopefully an ego cut down to mortal strength... we can talk."

"This session of combat... is concluded," the bird rasped, their implacable eyes closing with a prolonged wince.

Wayfarers WIN!
 
Mhynt kicked off with a flip through the air, landing on her feet with a huff. Her momentum then continued until she was on her back, held partway up only because of her pine-needle tail. "Finally," she muttered, shaking her arm and letting her blade dissipate into mist. Owen did what he could to prop her up, but she was in no condition to keep fighting now. Any good hit would do them in.

Zena was in only slightly better shape, taking some time instead to approach Articuno.

"Is that it, then?" she asked the others. "Is Articuno purified?" She had her ribbons up and facing Articuno, as if preparing to heal the Saint upon confirmation.

Mhynt still heard a commotion from far off. "What's going on there?" she murmured, trying to see the courtyard.
