26. You pull up a trinket that belongs to someone you know.
Hidden Beauty looked at the object caught on her hook. Then she looked over at Tricks. “Umm, is this yours?” She wasn’t sure if she’d get an answer though.
Tricks sighs and looks towards Hidden Beauty, not expecting much. But there - was that? No... But it was! Her pink feather!
"AND THAT'S WHEN I SAW IT!" she screams, causing the front row to leap back. "My mother's pink feather necklace- in the grubby paws of a horde of mice! My mother would never leave her feathers on the ground, she was very serious about her looks. No, you see," A deep sigh. "They ate her," Tricks flops backwards onto the stump. "My mother went out to get food for us and was AMBUSHED. Cut down in her prime. I was devastated. In that moment, all that mattered to me was retrieving that feather. The one thing I'd have left of my dear mother. So I ran at them screaming and ready to fight. I could take them! They had the element of surprise against my mom, but me? I was born for combat. Their fear was palpable. They retreated instantly into the surrounding brush. I howled with fury. My revenge, unfulfilled. But the feather was mine. A beacon of hope I wear around my neck to this day. It reminds me that anyone can be taken from you at any moment and to live life to it's fullest every day!"
The shadows around Tricks vibrate as she reaches out towards the sodden pink feather.
"MY FEATHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!"
Her howl shakes the Stump from its stillness. The crew shouts and stumbles as the wood creaks and rocks back and forth. A groaning noise fills the air as wooden tendrils lift out from beneath the inky black waves.
"I'M TIRED OF DOING THIS!" Tricks yells into the water.
It gurgles back angrily and, suddenly, a black mass begins to rise from below. A gargantuan shape with tentacle-like strands and an unnerving, stark-white face pulled into an eerie smile. It emanates an aura of sickness and shadow.
"I DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE!" Tricks roars. The entity reels back as if slapped, before letting out an earth-shattering screech. It is angry.
IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOOOOWN
The Stump is shaking. Wood is splintering. Tricks is shouting obscenities at a giant shadow beast. The ghost from below floats to you.
"How do you fight a monster born of your own fears and insecurities?" She whispers.
"Speak them out loud - take away its power!"
You have no idea what she's talking about- you literally fell into this place by accident. You're incredibly well-adjusted and have no fears or dark secrets or baggage or worries whatsoever... or do you? Maybe you could shout at the shadow and cause some emotional damage?
"NO!" The weird creature from the logs speeds over to you.
"Physical damage is best! ROCKS! THROW ROCKS AT IT! DO IIIIT"
Rocks could work maybe? Or some other form of weaponry? There were a lot of weird things down below that could be used to maim something. But were you strong enough to throw the rocks to such a great distance? Maybe!
Well, you'll have to figure out your plan and do SOMETHING to help - or this Stump is going down.
This last week is pretty casual and chaotic in the way that there are NO forms or structure. Your only goal is to fight the monster somehow with something and get out of here. No dice rolls necessary, no sprawling RP necessary.
All you need to do is post in here with at least a sentence that tells me what your kin does to help fight this shadow monster and you're entered into the final raffle.

Ice Laced Horn wasn't new to fighting off creepy dark creatures. Her choice of combat, the horns she was blessed with. She charges at the monster, horns first to push it aside before charging again to defeat it!

Moonlit Flower picks up a nearby glowing, squishy mushroom that grows on the stump. Because why not? She yelled, "Fear THIS, you oversized therapy problem!" and threw the mushroom at the shadow beast.
The mushroom lands with a soft splat, releasing a puff of neon spores that make the beast sneeze violently. "Bless you!" she shouts with mock sincerity, grabbing another mushroom for round two.

Tidal Terror helps in the fight by turning into a tortoise and BITING WITH HER UNNATURALLY SHARP TORTOISE TEETH. WHICH IS ESPECIALLY UNUSUAL BECAUSE TORTOISES DON'T USUALLY HAVE TEETH. Get chomped, idiot!

Futures Rewritten hurriedly rushes to join the foray, an empty tortoise shell clenched in his mouth, the bottom stomped out. He attempts to lob it onto the fiend's head to prevent him from seeing, even temporarily.
And hope it's big enough.

Waves had been passing by when he saw the commotion, though it was hard to
not notice it. He wasn't sure what was going on, and looked back and forth at what others were doing. Seeing that other kin were trying to damage it with whatever they could get ahold of.
"Uh..uh.." Waves saw a rock on the ground and rushed to it. Turning around, he planted his back hoof against it and then kicked the ever loving @#$@ out if it towards the shadow monster.

Chrysanthemum Ashes helps fight the beast by throwing whatever she can find to set on fire at it!

Hidden Beauty is a bit startled but is glad that she helped find Tricks' item.
As for the creature that showed up, she frowned at it then determinedly kicks Sad at it. Sorry Sad, it's time to stop being friends.

Soul Out of Time tales every odd thing she was able to pull out of the water in the days she'd spent on the stump and uses the rock throwing skill she's honed with the strange multicolored creature to bombard the dark entity and hopefully make something stick.
