Demeter
Demeter's eyes narrowed slightly.
Although she was anything but eloquent with her words, she'd followed Artoria's metaphor so far; even as Gilgamesh and Adelhein built upon it. A supposed training exercise for the group. Everyone there wanted different things. Aqua and her alchemy...

"Tonkis, eh?" the young conjurer repeated as she caught sight of the large goat creature, "Sure. I can work with this."
Climbing wasn't exact her strong suit, but all of the beast's hair and embroideries gave her plenty of footing and handholds to make use of to climb up onto...
Minashigo no Ōkami
A familiar voice caught The Ronin's ear as she pulled away from her sleeve. She turned to catch sight of Vincent refilling her glass. The brief expression of surprise painted across her face quickly lends itself to a smile.
"I appreciate you, Tinkerer," she replied, taking...
Demeter
"Oh sweet!" she replied to Gilgamesh, "Kinda a shame I couldn't bring anything back this time around but, considering how I was only fighting students and coworkers the entire time... that's probably for the best."
As the group made their way into the mansion, Demeter studied the...
Minashigo no Ōkami
A cup full of sake found its way into Okami's hand as a new round of cards was slowly passed around the table. She downed it rather quickly. The cards were quickly gathered before a dealer who'd begin to shuffle. Whether or not The Ronin would join in on the next hand...
Demeter
Demeter was relatively silent as, well, most of the group explained their desires. She held silent as Adelhein assumed the role of instructor and asked them all a question on experimentation; opening the floor for Scarlet and the others to speak. She continued in silence as he asked...
Helena Rugerd
"Ah," Helena replied as Kevin elaborated on his last encounter with the gnomies, "Well, fair enough then."
With their conversation seemingly coming to a close, everyone seemed to be reaching a general consensus. Perhaps these creatures could be reasoned with, perhaps not...
Demeter
A well-fed dryad was a happy dryad.
She was more than happy to make the journey back to hotel after that banquet, but The El-Melloi had other plans. Far better arrangements than Demeter had expected. But, before that, there was the issue with the teleporter. She stood quiet and...
Minashigo no Ōkami
Taeko almost seemed like a different village upon their triumphant return.
The captives had been returned to their homes and The Archbishop's staff was nestled safely in the back of Vincent's car. Decorations hung all throughout the streets. Music filled the air. The scent...
Demeter
The group would not find Demeter again until they, eventually, followed the sound of music and the scent of food to the college ballroom where the main celebration was happening.
The mood in the room was... mixed to say the least.
Teachers, college staff, new students, failed...
Helena Rugerd
Oddly enough, despite claws, fireballs and fangs amidst the group, it was Aimi's gun that caused her eyes to widen.
Bit of residual shock from a past life, perhaps. She'd seen some rifles floating about, but that thing? Well, truthfully, it looked more like a nailgun than a...
Demeter
A young fae entered The Cathedral Foyer with a giant turkey bone cocked back in her hand, ready to bury that femur deep into the skull of another bird. Every breath carried the scent of roasted fowl, a reminder that the gobblin' fiends lying in wait within were a delicious foe that...
Minashigo no Ōkami
The Ashigeru's cries of joy echoed through the cavern as the warriors of Taeko reunited with their loved ones.
And, for a brief while, Okami resonated with their laughter and celebratory spirits. But, quickly, the reality of their situation crept back into Okami's mind. She...
Demeter
The group arrived within the tunnel in a plume of pink petals; a sharp contrast to the dark tunnels that surrounded them. The path seemed clear of contestants and free for the group- or at least those who actually sought to gain entry into the college- to advance without much trouble...
Helena Rugerd
"Right. We should probably grab a bite to eat before heading out, then..."
In a group consisting of a vampire, two... AI's(?), and a dinosaur, Helena began to feel as though she were the odd man out. What was even more amusing to her was that, of this group of mythical creatures...
Minashigo no Ōkami
By the blades of the Tanuki and the Wolf, the last two cultists fell.
Okami's excitement rose with her curiosity. She could feel the ominous dread fade from the air and all that was left to do was face the Archbishop, himself, and see just how much power he held on his own...
Demeter
Demeter listened quietly as everyone shared their thoughts.
"R-right..."
A mild look of disappointment- or perhaps confusion- spread across her countenance. Mostly because she wasn't entirely sure which route every member of the group had decided upon. Adelhein seemed to settle on...
Demeter
"Oh, pfft. That was nothing," If the young fae's skin were a bit paler, they might've seen some blush spread across her cheeks. She turned to Scarlett, "Yeah. I can do that, no problem. May not be able to get to the exit in one jump, but the terrain shouldn't make a difference one way...
Helena Rugerd
Another day, another dollar... or whatever the local currency of Othaia was.
As it turns out, neither knowledge nor alchemical reagents were cheap and doing jobs for the adventurer's guild was the best way to make a quick buck. Well, if you didn't mind the danger, at least. They...
Helena Rugerd
A light smile swept across Helena's face as the letter landed on the desk in front of her. It meant that she was one step closer to achieving her goal, and one step closer to getting some answers. She opened the letter and quickly read it over. An oddly familiar letter of...
