Futuristic Among Gods

[aquaInferno]

Coatl almost sneers at Chris' remark about the Gods being lucky they didn't find him. Fox thinks he is tougher than a God? He may have a modifier and can maybe kill a low god with some help but he simply looked like a braggart to Coatl. Braggarts serve no purpose in Iania.


The numbers however intrigued Coatl. And Kalos' point was the same one that Coatl brought up to Jaik and Noah last night. Coatl imagines that it will be easy to recruit Kalos for his growing army. Perhaps over time he could direct charm spells on some Marauders if they weren't already under some sort of divine spell.

Major Update #4!

Apologies about the slowness guys! Things have been a lil hectic for me lately! I'll try and pump out more of those mini updates, but i just keep waiting on players who haven't posted ;_:


Also I'm going to attempt tagging people's names into posts as well to see if that helps you guys remember to post!



​

( @Veirrianna Valentine ) Kerri:

Spoiler

Name- Kerrialla 'Kerri'


Race- Unknown/Those That Wander Worlds(Thew for short.):





The Thew are a rarely seen, largely unknown, and extremely misunderstood race. Many who have put work into discerning their nature have often been led to the conclusions that they both step through realities and time like it is simply another room to be travelled through in a house hold.


Outside of mere speculation, the Thew are known for carrying a portfolio that carries pictures of beings that all appear similar, as if they could be one person, but all in variations of different species and races. These portfolios seem to be extremely important to the Thew, and even if stolen, they always seem to make their way back to their owners.


Furthermore, the Thew seem to either lie, be wilfully, or unwilfully ignorant of where they have been before, and what they did. They do not seem to ever have an answer for if they have lived previous lives or come from other realities or dimensions, and they seem to not recognise or even acknowledge being asked such questions. Also, while seemingly just as susceptible to outside harm as anyone else, they never seem to age, and there have been rumours that, if killed, they will appear again a few days later as if nothing had ever happened, harbouring no wish of revenge or retribution against their killers. As if they had literally just never reached the point up until their death. Despite this, they also don't seem to recognise this trait, and will avoid death and harm in general as much as the next being.


The Thew are also known for randomly speaking in rhyme or riddle about topics that they seem to have more knowledge on than they know, but very rarely realise or remember speaking such words at all. When a Thew does this, it is generally wise to listen.


Description/Image- Kerri stands at a diminutive 4'4" Imperial under most circumstances. Her appearance is that of an anthropomorphic cat, with cinnamon hued fur and digitigrade legs. Her eyes are a lush green similar to that seen in tropical flora, and her body is lithe and wiry in it's agility based musculature. Her 'mane' is brought back into a trio of braids that are all tied into a single ponytail and hangs down to just below her waist.


She adorns herself in a set of lower leg sleeves, forearm sleeves, a crop top and a kilt made of some form of futuristic materials that contrast the primitive styling of her clothes.She also wears a pendant with an intricately designed Celtic knotted star. While she doesn't remember why, she does know it is important to her.


Bio- Literally just stepping out of somewhere and onto the ground, Kerri has little other than her portfolio, journal, sword and sidearms on her person, she deems it fit to head to a nearby camp simply because it is the nearest notable location to her.


Having just arrived into this realm, it is time for Kerri to begin her life anew, with only her journal and portfolio to give her a hint at her lives before.


Personality- Calm, carefree, jovial and friendly, there isn't much that can cause Kerri to worry. Her ultimate goal in life to discover who she is meant to be, but her history is both a source of frustration and worry for her. While she doesn't often show it, there is a great sorrow and fear carried by her in the form of hidden questioning of the why of her existence, and the chance that there could very well not be a reason at all.


Despite this, she feels that her life gives her a unique position to allow her to help others as well, and she does her best to protect those that she deems in need of it all while furthering her own search for purpose and point to her life.


Due to her unique characteristics and her race, she isn't quite sure what she thinks of gods and the like. She was not invited into the realm by gods like others have been and because of the difference in her arrival compared to others, she has a harder time believing in all the same things others might. While there is a chance this could lead to some head butting, Kerri largely tries not to offend anyone too much.


Abilities/Skills- Carrying a lancer longsword(true longsword, see claymores), or a longsword with a strong but thin blade, equally suited for stabbing as it is hewing flesh, Kerri's longsword is extremely lightweight, and those that would study it would find it's composition to be strange and unfamiliar. There are those who would even call it's existence impossible. Despite this Kerri' wields it with great skill and dexterity, easily swapping between both one handed and two handed fighting styles while staying light on her feet and employing her agile manoeuvrability to out perform and outmanoeuvre her opponents.


To supplement her skill in close quarters with a bit more reach, Kerri also carries a pair of revolvers, both large and seemingly cumbersome that she handles with ease. Similar in composition to her sword, but also quite different, the best guess anyone could have is that her weaponry comes from a whole other plane of existence and shouldn't exist in the one she inhabits now.


Other- Kerri has exactly two hundred a thirty eight pictures in her portfolio, and furthermore she bears precisely one hundred and ninety one notes ranging from assumed total years of existence to comments about certain races to simple philosophical quips scattered amongst the pages of her journal.


Kerri also suffers from both Monophobia, the fear of being alone, and Athagoraphobia, the fear of being abandoned.


You breath in deeply as you walk out into the immense, open grassy fields around you, leaving behind a forest of gigantic trees where you came into this world from...


Ahead of you quite a ways away, you see a Massive Camp situated around A large tower, at it's top you can make out one singular tent , and behind that tent (from your angle) a Massive beam or energy or light shoots upwards into the sky above...


Another life... another Universe... You think to yourself as You keep walking towards the camp and the tower itself. Looking around at the Almost infinitely spanning plains of grass to the West and east. The ocean gently washing against it's sandy line farther south of the camp, running along with the grassy plains of this world....


The Wing blowing past you with each step you went on...


Maybe... Maybe this one will answer everything....


As you scan the field around you however, you spot nearby two other figures who've also noticed you!


They both look to have cloaks of different types as you examine them from where you were... one of them Looks a lot like an assassin, and the other is rather small for a person...?


This... is kinda strange.. but this can't be any weirder then whatever else you've got in your journal/Portfolio right?


They appear to be within Shouting distance... and all three of you are still quite a way's from the camp itself... What shall you do?





Player Count: 13 Players Excluding Elijah and Inactives/Missing players


Word Count: Around 3040 words!


Time Taken: Abouuut 4-5 hours for this update?

 

[SnakyDragon]

Jaik, as always, is the first to react.


"Hang tight, Seih. I'm gonna play the good cop on this one; I'll test the waters for danger activity."


He bears a big grin on his face, sheathes his two kukris, and walks closer to the cat-woman.


"Greetings, ma'am! It looks like you're wandering around the forest with nothing to do! Allow me to remedy that situation; we're on a quest to stop a bunch of gods from murdering the crap out of a god-to-be and summoning an army of monstrosities (by accident, but that doesn't lower the blame on them at all), and it looks like you've been around the block a few times! Would you consider joining us?"


Bluntness is probably the best bet at this point.


Coils actually exits the Tower entirely to look for Jaik, and upon seeing him (and noticing that he's talking to what looks like a new person), he pokes his head back into the Tower and addresses the room.


"Hey, Keeper? Guys? I hate to reign in on our parade, here, but we have a visitor to the Tower, and Jaik probably shouldn't be the first one greeting her."

 

[aquaInferno]

Coatl is slightly taken aback as the Keeper floats between him and Chris but he's seen stranger things happening and this Tower was pretty high-tech.





"Just stretching out a bit Keeper. Chris was explaining the numbers behind Elijah's power. It's growing exponentially but you already knew that."





When Coils came back Coatl was quick to respond.





"Jaik is out there with a new arrival? He is a bit blunt with words, it may be off putting to a newcomer. I can provide assistance if you wish Coils."

 

[ChrisClark13]

Chris leans forwards in his chair, "And do you have any leads that we could follow about the tortured situation?"" he asks, since no one else seems to be waiting to bombard the Keeper with questions.

 

[SnakyDragon]

(Shortest update ever, due to the fact that I'm on my Kindle)


"Assist, ASSIST."

 

[aquaInferno]

Coatl grins crookedly for a second, he was hoping he'd get a chance to recruit new members. Hopefully that Jaik fellow wouldn't make his plans sound insane through his curt mannerisms.


"I suppose I can catch up with you all later."





Coatl would slither through, letting Coils lead the way until they made it to Jaik, Seih, and Kerri, He was closer to camp than them and henceforth closer to the newcomer than to Jaik.


Jaik didn't look like he was doing too bad. He didn't have any weapons drawn so that was a plus. Coatl still had his flamberge on him but no matter, he could just cast a quick charm so the newcomer wouldn't be intimidated and a little easier to persuade.


When the charm was cast, Coatl would intervene for Jaik.





"Ah, Jaik. I was wondering where you slithered off to. Patrolling I see, good to keep yourself alert and energetic at all times. Now who might this be?"





Coatl finishes off, examining the newcomer. A cat woman, quiet short but her weapons looked like they packed some serious firepower. The fact that she was alone shows that she is either recently lost or she knows how to handle herself well. Coatl assumes the latter. Just the type of person he needed.





"I say, those are some interesting weapons. Your sword is quiet large but your physique implies that it must be much lighter than it looks. What type of business brings a fellow warrior like you here?"

 

[Lyro]

Seih shifts uncomfortably. He had been looking forward to a quiet walk back to the camp to give him enough time to gather his thoughts and compose himself. Now, he is suddenly confronted by not one but three people (how had Coils and the snake person - whose name he can't call up right now - appeared here so quickly?), though fortunately they are still some distance away. But he had already decided he wouldn't keep running away from people, so he braces himself and follows Jaik silently.


As he approaches, he casts out his mind to the new arrival and the naga, probing as he did before, albeit more lightly than before, unsure about these new people's potential (the naga in particular, if he could teleport such distances, was impressively powerful). He would try to focus on only finding out their names for now, and, in the case of the new arrival, the most recent memories.

 

[Bluesunnyday]

Kalos jolts a bit. "YEEP!" Interestingly, this expression of shock sounds almost exactly like a bird's cry, "I mean, uh, hey. Sorry, I, uh... react poorly to surprises. Yes, good morning and all that. And yeah, what the fox-man said, any leads on this whole situation?'

 

[Thorn of Discord]

Speak of the devil. Or in this case, the Delphi. "Yes, I am Thorn. I was just speaking with....Hanharr, here about getting some firepower." Thorn shifted his weight nervously, perturbed by the sudden influx of people. "Preferably just like those revolvers you got there, actually. And despite what Hanharr says, I can use them, trust me." Sure, sure, once you y'know, train with them.

 

[Illusionus]

Rubbing his eyes more, Byron slowly heads to the door but stops short when he realizes that he doesn't have his coat or his... His glove. Shit. What the hell. Did somebody take it off? Did I misplace it? I need to find it. he frantically looks around the small room. Searching under his cot and under the sheets, but only finds his coat. Giving up the search in the room, he figures it would be better to look around elsewhere. Before heading out to see what was going on outside of the room, he is sire to hide his left arm in the deep pocket of his coat to hide what might be there. Opening the door floods the room with light and it takes a moment for Byron's eyes to adjust after last night's heavy sleep.

 

[creepingShade]

Errg growls and goes back to his spot in the line, resisting the urge to steal some of the meat. But that would just be what the slimey freak would want, and with his luck the spell would probably end up ending as soon as he started trying to grab some food. Nope, not going to mess with this mojo, just gonna get back in line and casually bump the back of his foot in the guy behind him's foot.

 

[Bonzo]

That guy huh? Koyaanis thinks to Danielle, brushing their hair out their eyes and wondering how their gender pronouns should work.


We shouldn't trust what he reported, but we should interrogate him. Danielle replies, brushing the hair into it's proper parting and strongly feeling pronouns are a non-issue.


Oooh an interrogation! I haven't done one of those for ages. I'll be the well adjusted, reasonable cop, and you...


And I?


Do we have a sexy cop Halloween outfit?


You're a pig.


I'm only joking


I know you are, but I'm not.


I'm hurt. Wounded, even.


магаре. Let's go. Mei's hunting skills would be useful for such slippery prey. Also are you going to tell her you're dead or not? It's none of my concern but you're giving me a headache the way you're worrying over it.


I'm not worried, I,


Then you'll tell everyone and get it over with.


Yeah, I should, I know you're right...


Of course. Let's find her.


Everyone, Delphi, dunno about Her High Wolfy Furship.


Why would her opinion matter to you?


It's not that. It's just you know, godliness and power set me on edge.


глупак. How you ever make decisions is beyond me. Your mind is always like dogs fighting over a stick, but less organised.


They backtrack through the camp, looking for the huntress or indeed anyone useful and keeping an eye out for Lizard-caused chaos. Meilikki is spotted on the outside the circles of marauders minding her own business. Walking up to her table and taking a seat, Danielle overrules Koya to say "This may surprise you or not, but the spirit of Koyaanis is stuck in my head and he's more of a неприятно нещо in here than I've heard he was in flesh." She manages to control her voicebox as Koya tries to strangle her from the inside. "A part of his modifier may be in the possession of Vizara and we will need your help to get it from him if that is true. Can you help?"


Koya wrests control back "I didn't mean to tell you like this - It's just..."


She understands, now stop talking.


"...that I didn't want to make Danielle look completely insane..."


Don't you DARE make excuses in my name


"...um. Because I'm incompetent. How're you doing?"

 

[Neow46]

Mini update #3!


This is not a Major update! Please Refer to the Previous Major update if you are not in this mini-update here!





( @Veirrianna Valentine )Kerri: Before you can say anything to this Guy (Jaik) and his smaller friend (Seih) is suddenly asking you to join some sort of army, you hear a new voice From acrossed the grassy field towards the large camp you were originally heading for, and it appears some sort of Naga Man is also yelling out to the three of you...?


Again, you've probably seen stranger stuff.... Maybe inquire them about what the hell is going on?


--------------------------------------------------------------------


Meanwhile, Over at Marauder Camp and the Tower





( @ChrisClark13 @Bluesunnyday ) Chris and Kalos:


My Apologies for Startling you master Kalos!


The Keeper says gleefully as he stands amongst the two of you, Since Coils and Coatl just left.


I've made about the same Amount of Progress as we did last night with our possible lead(s)... I've managed to Identify, yes, Progenitor Magic appears to be involved that wasn't my doing or the Warden's after his death.


The Keeper Said, Examining the Array of pizzas set out on the table Chris Assumingly(?) created along with his chair.


But this is still only speculation, For all we know, whoever is pulling the Strings to the Tortured Currently are Trying rather hard to make whatever they can to be anonymous...


He says, Taking a Slice of the Pineapple Pizza, Giving it a strange, but curious look.


Normally, when a Progenitor is defeated, we simply return to our Primordial Origins as a reality-wide Universe Renewing station... Which wouldn't be so terrible if Those Foolish gods would quit either trying to absorb our own into themselves or dividing us into even weaker, and smaller entities...


We don't necessarily have Conscious Souls Like The mortals or the Gods... Just the Consciousness ever since The Elders began to tamper with everything like they did...


The Keeper then takes a bite out of the Hot pizza, Munching on it with that curious look still on his face as he waits for more questions.... (In which it's rather strange of a basically timeless being who was basically immortal and needed no sustenance... Why would he be eating that Slice of Pineapple Pizza you both wonder...)


One of the Door's in the Room Opens up, and Byron Walks into the central hub room here!


( @arcaneSentinel ) Byron: You open your room's door to see Chris, Kalos, and the Keeper all seemign to ahve a conversation and they appear to be having a pizza party as Chris and the Keeper Munch at one of the Three Pizza's on a table Either Chris or the Keeper must have made!


The Keeper spots you, and quickly gulps down the peice of Pineapple pizza he was chewing on.


Ah, Good morning Master Byron!


Care for some of this Huamnoid Food.. Pizza was it Called?


He asks you, drawing the attention of Both Chris and Kalos as well onto you.


( @creepingShade ) Errg: Scaly piece of shit... you think to yourself, returning to your spot in line, making sure you were in the exact spot before that weirdo casted his spell...


Preparing yourself and thinking ahead a little bit, you bump the back of your foot into the frozen marauder behind you, and just as the Scaly Wizard man said, the sounds of the camp spontaneously resumed around you.


You acted surprised when the lizard man suddenly disappeared in front of you along with the several people behind you, but you quickly just move up the line just a little bit and dismiss it.


A little bit later, you're patience pays off, and you're finally served some of the meats you saw in the tent, the skinny looking human who was plopping the food not trays gave you an extra helping after looking worrying at your form, but you won't complain as you got some extra noms to enjoy as you walked out of the tent with the other people dispersing to their designated tables and everything.


Looking around, you don't spot that scaly Wizard anywhere thankfully, however you Do Spot that Satyr Woman with the big golden Scythe from yesterday, the one who gave you your sword, sitting down at a far corner of the larrrrge social area where most of these people were eating their breakfast and socializing.


It appeared one of the Marauders (who looked to be more like one of the "civilian" class here you would assume) was conversating with Mei...


Mayhaps you'll go Join her? or would you rather eat alone somewhere else?


( @Thorn of Discord ) Thorn: The Cat Woman Raises an unimpressed eyebrow at you, Looking down at your feet.


You have hooves, I don't see any fingers anywhere.


Explain to me how you're going to shot some of the conventional weapons we have here, let alone these revolvers on the table there.


Tell you what, would you rather just go see Elijah or someone else with a Modifier to get you something that'll actually work?


She Asks you. You notice her impatiently tapping her foot as she waits for an answer from you.


( @Seahorse ) Mei: As you casually munch away at your food and stare off into the blue sky above blankly, One of the Civilians around the camp suddenly comes up to you and... Did... they just say they were being haunted by Koya?


Did... their voice just change or was there something in the food?


( @Bonzo ) Koya and Danielle: Great, Now you've probably weirded Poor Mei out as she stares at you blankly. Abort?

 

[SnakyDragon]

Coils, finally reaching Jaik, sighs with relief. The newcomer has not drawn her weapons yet and tried to attack Jaik.


Good.


His head cocks as he hears a someone shouting, or screaming... but if that were the case, it's extremely far off and probably just someone being attacked by Tortured.


Nothing to be done about it now.


Jaik glares at Coils.


"You never let me introduce the new people."


"Maybe it's because you're a PSYCHO who just drops tid-bits of information willy-nilly all over the place. Try to show some damn restraint."


"... *sigh* Fine. Coatl, take over. Try not to stretch that tail too much. You have a very loud voice, though! Good job; I'm proud of you."


"Stop congratulating the naga on his vocal skills and GET BACK TO THE DAMN TOWER! What are you doing out here, anyway? We were supposed to meet in the Tower main room, and I find you all the way out here???"


Jaik glances back at Seih, and gives him an imperceptible nod.


"I thought I heard something in the forest. Someone screaming. Turns out I was wrong. Let's get back."


They turn and walk back to the tower.

 

[Thorn of Discord]

Thorn leveled a gaze at Delphi, and got a little heated. "I would rather, put a hoof right up..." Don't finish that sentence. Just use levitation, piece of cake. Thorn's horn glowed and the pistols rose into the air, glowing in the same fashion. "I can fire both guns, reload them, and take 'em apart with basic levitation." You do realize you've never done any of those things before, right? "She doesn't know that. " Thorn clumsily spun the revolvers, and stuck them in his pockets. Classy.

 

[Seahorse]

"What?" Meilikki stared back at the stranger, replaying the words she just heard in her mind. ...the spirit of Koyaanis is stuck in my head... the spirit of Koyaanis... Koyaanis... that voice! "Koya? How.. how can that be you? You died... didn't you?" with a deep breath she swallowed her confusion, hardly giving the pair a chance to reply. Her expression returned once again to one of dull rage. "We cannot allow a modifier to fall into the hands of an enemy. The power of everything on this planet is growing; tortured, modifiers, us would-be-gods. Whatever you need it will be done." She sat up, grabbed her scythe and started heading towards the tower. Perhaps it was time to wake up Elijah.

 

[Lyro]

Feeling unnerved by the new arrival's silence, Seih edges backwards a bit and quietly starts to head back to camp. He does not want to deal with a potentially unwelcome new mind, and is eager to find one of the people with modifiers to ask questions of them. Hoping Jaik doesn't notice his departure, and once more feeling bad for stopping a conversation abruptly, Seih begins hovering towards the northwards section of the encampment.

 

[Ferociousfeind]

(my activity keeps dropping because RPNation isn't alerting me because I am physically incapable of checking when it does :/ )


Misfortune walks over to the table, but then

SNIP

Mei(likki) gets up and walks toward the tower. Misfortune is left to simply sit at the table, alone as he usually is, and eat. He tastes the hot black liquid and- bluh! "What is this stuff!?" Misfortune remembers a time when he was told about a peculiar black liquid, called "Coughy" or something, it had a bitter taste, and was supposed to jump-start one's awakening in the morning. He recognizes the green, "tree-shaped" vegetables though, and devours the "brock-ill-lee" along with some of that "stake" meat.

 

[Illusionus]

Byron is surprised that the Keeper is here this early in the morning. He tries to shove his hand further into his pocket. "No thank you. I can't right now." Walking past the keeper, he motions for the ghostly man to come with him by nodding his head in the direction he's going.

 

[ChrisClark13]

"Keeper," Chris says sharply to get the being's attention again, "Do you also have any possible locations we can investigate? Like I said last night, we can't remain on the defensive forever."

 

[aquaInferno]

(Sorry about that Neow! I didn't think he was so far.)


Coatl smiles at Jaik's compliment, inadvertently showing off his fangs. Remember Coatl, gentle but imposing.





Coatl starts once more, this time slithering over much slower than before but made his effort to show no pain but rather elegance in his stride.





"Now as I was saying young warrior. Have you business with my companions?"


"And," Coatl added, "If you are in no rush it would do me great pleasure to hear about your curious equipment." He finishes, glancing once more at her light weight sword and her pistols.

Major Update #5!


Make sure you subscribed to the In character Chat here or double check your notification settings for Emails updates on AG to help you better keep track of everything!



​

( @Veirrianna Valentine ) Kerri: Soon enough, as you stay silent, The Naga man slithers up to you along with a smaller, glowing blue and green snake, who seems to be the Assassin's pet, still asking you questions which you have yet to respond to.


Please refer to Major Update #4 and the other player's questions towards you.


( @Lyrositor ) Seih: You abscond from the scene with the new comer. Things were getting weird anyways as you made your way back into camp, that Marauder who stopped you before just silently watching you passby him without a word.


You re-enter the camp without a fuss, everyone seems to be finishing up their breakfasts now as you look around for any familiar faces, Spotting Misfortune in one far Corner Talking to what looks like a Lizard in a floppy wizard hat, and you spot Errg eating alone Off on one other corner... You suppose you could go and socialize with the two or them, or you could pursue your more urgent matters and head for the Tower and Elijah.... what do you think you shall do?


( @arcaneSentinel ) Byron: I Shall catch up to you in a moment Master Byron!


The Keeper says as you hastily go down the stairs.


He was still kinda busy with Chris and Kalos you suppose...


You keep heading down the Stairs, passing Mei and somebody from the camp on your way down, desperately keeping your hand in your coat pocket.... Exiting out the bottom floor of the tower, you think of where you might have misplaced your glove.... You certainly hope you didn't loose it just anywhere here around this large camp... but maybe.. Ah that's right! the Medical tent! Maybe your glove was there?


As you begin to walk however, your stomach begins to growl... and you remember the smell of the pizza Chris, The Keeper and Kalos were having earlier... Damn it... when was the last time you've had actually decent food anyways and not some arena slime...?


The.. arena... you think to yourself...


This world you remember... it wasn't your own.... there was no big government here besides Elijah and the Marauders... None of them experiment on kids as far as you're aware... and all sorts of strange race sand beings were running around here as well as you looked around you at the busyness of the camp, the Tower Just a little distance away form you, overshadowing the western part of the camp as the Sun was starting to climb over it...


Now that you think about it, maybe the people here wouldn't really care about what was on your hand...? This.. is a fresh now world, a new start.... and no doubt a lot of the People and Marauders here all had their own stories like everyone on the tower....


You still think you'd want to go after that glove...? Maybe one of those people witht he fancy Modifiers as they call them could easily replace it for you....


( @king persassy )


Noah: WARNING: Please refer to Major Update #1, you will be marked inactive within the next update!

Time taken:3 hours just about, surprisingly got things done and non-procrastinated for once!

 

[Lyro]

Seih stops hovering as soon as he enters the thick of the camp and resumes walking. Keeping his eyes mostly on his feet, he still can't help but notice Misfortune and Errg trying to eat their breakfasts. He considers stopping to talk to one of them, but Errg seems happy eating by himself (I suppose? It is a bit difficult to tell when's he happy exactly...) and Misfortune is busy talking to someone else. He nonetheless takes due note of Misfortune's modifier, commiting its appearance to memory, then continues onwards to the tower.


However, as he gets closer and closer to the centre of the camp, his now fully-awake mind is painfully aware of just how many foreign minds are busying themselves all around him. He attempts to block them out, but by the time he reaches the base of the tower there are simply too many, all loud and occupied with different tasks, and he falls back on an old trick of his: he begins to sing. For the Keir, singing can be one of the most intense ways to occupy an idle mind, requiring coordination of many different cerebral functions to produce a harmonious sound. As Seih begins to sing his soft, mournful and wordless tune, his attention shifts to the melody. He also resumes his hovering, further straining his brain and driving the remote minds back.


Once inside the tower, he looks up at the winding staircase, sighs, and begins to hover along it, his song echoing faintly as he starts his ascent to the roof.

 

[Ferociousfeind]

Misfortune says, "Actually, I don't know much about it either, other than this weird dragon thing gave it to me, and that it can conjure things using the power it has, and that the glow probably signals how much power is left." Misfortune hesitantly finishes the black liquid, and takes a look at the "Crystal Thingie" in his hand, and kind of stares off into it.


edit: "and your lore still sucks!" comedy gold right here folks! xD
