Danielle bites back a "I have more reason be here than you have.", and instead opts for the formal tone better befitting an officer speaking in an official capacity, even if it's to an enormous alien meatbug.Neow46 said:

Major update #30!
Sorry for delays and the over 3 week Hiatus everyone, lotta stressful days, immensely shitty time management, and everything’s been a huge roller-coaster of work and trouble after work and trouble recently, hopefully we should be back on our weekly schedule now that I've finally got a little bit of time back to myself!
Hope we haven’t lost anybody during the hiatus here! But seriously, thank you all for your patience ;;;
Writing these massive things has always been getting progressively more and more difficult and time consuming as real life ramps up for me.
Also just a heads up, Unless your character is doing something else/seeking out some other objective already (For example, Errg seeking the mage who casted a spell on him the previous night), you’ll all most likely be heading to the conference up on top of the tower this update because honestly I think everyone wants to get the plot moving along and just asking whether you’d like to do something else or not would just delay everything further so lets go go go.

( @Space Face ) Galmiz (Please refer to the previous update for context as you have not posted!)
As you meddle within the room that was provided for you the previous night, the wall that also functions as a door suddenly phases out, and a soldier of the camp around the tower that you were in stands in front of you, it was a human if you recalled being told the previous night, a female one.
She stood with her arms crossed and foot tapping; she was clad in a strange black mesh of armor that looked like chain-mail if it were a fabric, she wore no helmet or mask like the others, instead her head was revealed; her face rather angular and sly looking, brown eyes with brown hair that was cut at a length just above her neck in a casual fashion.
“Hey, you, did you not hear what the spooky voice said earlier? Everyone’s got to attend this meeting their having up on the roof.”
She said with a rather demeaning tone, as if she were talking to misbehaving child.
“But, I’ve been instructed by the Sub-Commander to give you the option to take a small tour of the camp to get you situated here, since you’re new, we don’t exactly know your full on capabilities and we’re uncertain if we could immediately throw you into a dangerous combat mission unless you really want us to for some reason or another.”
Her tone changed immediately, this time slightly more friendly and casual, placing gloved hand on a hip and using the other to gesture out words.
“So what do you say, you wanna show up later to this meeting they’re having up there or should I take you and show you around?”
She questioned rather impatiently, waiting for your response.

( @Shadow Dancer ) Marcus: Slowly opening the door as to not blind yourself from the rising daylight, the Marauder you see is a bit different then what you expected. Rather then the usual soldier looking type, this Marauder was quite a bit smaller and shorter, but not short enough to be a dwarf.
They wore the bulky tan armor of the marauders and had a sort of weapon holstered on their back but, with the curly blonde hair and tired but innocent blue eyes, they looked more like some sort of young childish boy.
“Y-you could have just used one of the spare civilian tents down in the southern side of camp you know…”
They said rather worrylingly.
“A-anyways, im not here to arrest you or anything really, but uhm, I’m actually here to ask you to come to the conference the commanders are holding on the roof of the tower over there at the uhh… the uhh center of the camp.”
The marauder pointed to the stone tower that did indeed sit at the center of this large camp, it was a little bit of a walk from here, but you could make there easy.
“I uhh, I uhh guess I got kinda lucky finding you here, k-kinda just guessed that some of the people I’d need to seek out would be well… in a shack strangely built here in the middle of these tents…”
This girlyish boy of a marauder keeps talking, voice still confusing you and making you wonder if they were actually a girl or a boy.
“I.. I’d really appreciate it if you came with me but uhh, I dunno, if you’d really want to or not, I dunno if I can actually stop you from NOT going b-but, at the same time I don’t wanna get in trouble or anything…”
The small marauder was kinda right, he honestly didn’t look like much and you could indeed very easily not even choose to go to this meeting they wanted you at here without consequences…
After all, there is still some exploring still needed to be done around here for you to get your bearing and maybe understand what exactly was going on in this world with all the strange people, attacking gods, and magics all around…
So, what do you think you’ll do?
(If you head to the conference/main group, assume you are automatically taken there, and may respond to whatever goes on there, but if you choose to not go, I’ll collaborate with you through Pm’s so you don’t have to wait for another update to explore/get to know things!)

( @Neuton ) Ryan:
After noticing the invisibility spell beginning to wear off, you start your way to the large trees in the distance… still basking in the splendor of the rising sun to the east…
It does take you a bit of a walk, dodging between different grass covered hills to avoid being sighted by anything to finally reach the trees, however, these things were more massive up close then they were from afar!
It’d probably take at least 5 to 8 copies of yourself at arm’s length each to even wrap around one of the trunks of these things!
It’s strangely quiet out here though here… You hear none of the fabled surface animals above or around you, nothing flew between the high branches above or roamed around the pine and grass covered ground you treaded upon…
Suddenly, from afar, much deeper within the trees, a horrible, deep moaning of a roar emits… soon another, this one wailing and screeching, followed by yet another, almost soul stopping roar of what you could only imagine was a true nightmare….
“Mortal.”
A strange, hardly comprehensible voice suddenly sounds from above you.
“Do not farther into this forest.”
It warns you calmly between the distant roars and moans that were getting louder and closer.
“There are monsters beyond even the most vile of any god's love here. They will tear you apart if they find you. You must-”
Another screech sounds, this one far louder than the others, almost as if whatever made it was nearby!
Immediately, you hear a loud –SLICE- sound from wherever the voice was coming from up above!
-THUD- Something lands right behind you.
Turning yourself around, what you see absolutely repulses you.
On the ground was a horrendous sight of a charred, fleshy mass of a torso, it looked as if it's limbs were sliced clean off and the wounds cauterized with only a small trickle of pitch black ooze dripping from them...
You hear another, immensely loud roar from behind, and whipping around yet again, you see a humongous monstrosity, similar to the corpse which has landed next to you, it's entire body like charred and burnt flesh, all over it there protruding spikes and bits of sharp splintered bones extruding from even the most illogical places where there should not be bone in the first place.
This one's form was also far different from the torso next to you, far larger and far bulkier, rampaging through the trees, blasting off chunks of wood as it passes by them unharmed!
From above, you see a shining ray of light blast downwards in a brilliant, fiery pillar, and you hear the roar of the monster from behind it!
Soon, another thing lands next to you with a near earth shaking slam!
A person clad in full metal armor, shining almost as brilliantly as the sun that had greeted you when you arrived. In their hands was a sword like any other you've seen, it's entire blade seemingly to only be made of a blue, molten fire that shimmered in the light.
“Run you fool! Out of these woods! Unless you have some sort of death-wish, Run you foolish mortal!”
The knight yells, as the pillar of light casted onto the beast dissipates, the hulking monstrosity from entirely incinerated into nothing but ash!
But not far from it though, more of it's kind in all different shapes and sizes were crawling and charging from the woods, their screeches and cries chilling you to the very soul!
What shall you do?!
(If you wish to collaborate a post with me instead of just saying “i run”, shoot me a pm and we'll get somethin' done!)

( I Apologize For My Absence, I Had To Attend A Funeral A Little While Ago. My Family And I Are Having Trouble After It Being Active.I Am Sorry If This Caused Any Inconveniences.)
The sudden entrance of feminine soldier startled the Balkian, his hands quickly snatching his mask from its place beside him to hold akew against his face. The Forgotten Goddess's Priest's mouth was revealed to be an undefined line filled with long, needle-like teeth as rich red eyes squinted from the crooked eye-holes of the skull.
"My apologizes... I had to make sure I still had all my belongings... one of many of my bad habits I need to break."
His hands played with a thick black ribbon that hung on the sides of the mask, the silk's soothing texture calming Galmix's fast beating heart. The thump of cloth and other unknown items rang loudly in the quieted room as clawed hands tied a large bag around the strange staff before it was swung over his shoulder, the mask straightened and held close to his face by its ribbon.
"I rather learn a bit more about my surroundings before getting to know its population... I don't want to be guided all the time, besides... I want to repay a debut and fulfill a personal goal."
A fight? That idiot's supposed to be here. Alone again with a panoply of aliens and creatures from children's stories - and one other token human. Regardless, and wishing to appear unphased by the weirdness of the world, she takes a seat without a word.aquaInferno said:
