This week:

Hysteria gives a recap of the action so far from her vantage high above center court. And she takes some time to highlight interesting things she’s noticed in the Melee so far.

Hysteria’s Moon:  “The participants have fought well so far. It has been an interesting display on center court, to say the least. The Third Sphere Archangels have suffered the most losses so far with four eliminated participants. Many of the T3 Archangels were eliminated by Supreme Mmoatia.”

The Game Masters debate the eligibility of a participant. We might lose someone to a technicality, which is a shame. The action is too good for someone to go down without a fight. 

The Game Masters: “A question about what qualifies as a weapon. Considering that participants are only able to use weapons that they can generate with their bodies’ natural abilities, is it fair for the Superguardian of Bludon to use the power of the Bludonian Super Consciousness? It is an artificial implant, technology that is not naturally occuring in the body of a Bludonian.”

Mmoatia, Yumboes, Umbatia, and races from all over Prime 5 are duking it out to decide who will take part in the Dance of Hysteria. Participants are dropping like flies and the clock is ticking down.

The Divine Essence: “We are nearing the halfway point of the Melee, and so far, there have been fierce battles all around center court. But there are some participants who have yet to join the fray. Metatron can be seen levitating and spectating the proceeding above the highest of the horizontal bridges crossing the court. Tracia hovers just inside the boundary of the court and no one seems to notice her. Cras-myne Re is standing still, presumably scaring off any potential fighters due to his intimidating visage.”

The action continues as the Archangels and Children of the Third Sphere Aerphim try to survive the melee. Which angel has what it takes to survive?

Vistas of Endla: “One team has been eliminated, but many participants still remain. The T3 Archangels have only two members left and Iaoth, their Game Master, is angry. He has mostly been very quiet as he watches the two remaining T3 Archangels in battle on center court. Tabris is in an intense battle with Maxx, the Superguardian. Tabris is the mightiest of the T3 Archangels and Maxx has been keeping up with him blow for blow.”

Leilar and Ariel are fast becoming best friends as they watch the Melee of Hysteria from the Umbatia swamp. But watching the action makes Ariel itch for her own and the two stumble into a fetch quest!

Agent Orange (Limited Series): “It’s a legendary pipe, said to have been lost by the great Aziza, Jeje, when he traveled to the Earth Realm. Some say it does not exist, that Jeje never traveled to Earth, but we know better. Legends say that the pipe never needs to be filled and when someone smokes from it, they gain deeper knowledge and understanding of whatever they are contemplating. It’s like smoking knowledge.’”

Zacchaeus is back! And he’s with the Needy in the Fonlands on a quest to find the Vodun Xêvioso. But does the Needy have ulterior motives in seeking out Xêvioso?

Finding Xêvioso (The Deft Hands of Zacchaeus Limited Series): “Zaccheus is in his black cloak that hangs down to his feet and drags behind him. The hood on his head is large and his entire face is obscured from every angle. He looks like death, the popular personification with the black cloak and scythe, but Zaccheus grabbed a long wooden staff from the forest where he arrived in the Fonlands and was reunited with Coffey. ”
