The Path From Fayland - Official RP

She looked a him a bit surprised by his laughter. She hadn't expected that kind of reaction. Juniper looks at the crates "I think it's pretty clear that I'm not that strong. What does lifting boxes have to do with defending myself?" she asks reluctant to pick them up.
 
Lanli gasped in surprise at the new voice, and turned her head away from the wall and towards the speaker. "Oh! Hello!" Lanli replied, stammering slightly. "My name is Lanli.. Lanli Bushfall. I was just exploring these woods when I came across this village." She paused for a moment, "What's your name?" she asked.
 
Ruineth allowed herself to smile. She was grateful Nova was so willing to forgive her. She felt bad about ignoring Faye, but she didn't think about that. Faye would understand. She pulled herself away from Nova's hug after a bit and sniffed. "Well, then. Now that that's over with..." Rune opened the door dramatically. "Shall we?" She was ready to eat, sleep, and be done with this day. And not just because her creator wanted to finish some quests on Skyrim, shower, go to bed, and be done with the day.
 
She smiled warmly at Lanli and held her hand out as a greeting. "I'm Ava. I've lived here in Auchertown for about five years now. I escaped Reddell and found this place...ah, I'm a Dihart Elf--half Dark Elf, half Light Elf--and I was afraid the elves back there in Reddell would figure out I had Light blood in me..if they had, I most likely would've been executed. They don't tolerate any sort of Light Elves in their village...so I had to get away.." she explains, her eyes falling to the ground momentarily as she thinks about it all. After a second, she looks back up as her eyes widen. "Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to bore you with details about myself, it's just kind of an introduction of mine.."
 
Varexes-


I shrugged. "You're smart. What do you need to defend yourself? Pick up as many crates as you can. There's 12 there. If you like, I'll do it first." I offered. The last exercise could be tricked by pulling a low move like that, but a simple strength exercise? She couldn't trick her way out of it without using magic.
 
Lanli walked foreward and shook Ava's hand. "It's alright, I don't mind." She replied, smiling. "I'm a blacksmith from Fayland. My life was fairly boring there, so I left in search of something more interesting." She said, smiling warmly back at Ava. "So this place is called Auchertown, huh? What kind of place is it?"
 
(Goodnight. Though I find it amusing your character wants to sleep and says 'shall WE' to Nova. What os she thinking about I wonder? 0_0


Jk, I just couldn't resist...it was too perfect)
 
"What do you need to defend yourself with. Oh I don't know, how about a shield." she snarks not in the mood to prove how weak she was. "or how about someone with a wounded arm." she adds. "or someone with balls." she finishes letting him know she had a back up plan if she wasn't able to successfully punch his arm.
 
Varexes


I chuckled at her. She was frustrated, but it made sense. I didn't like the idea of being in her shoes either. "You need strength. You need to be able to move and bend. Flexing and bending and going with the flow is the best way to defend yourself. If you get held, then you gotta be able to reach the person holding you to hurt them to make them let go. Unless you plan on using a weapon, I'm going to teach you how to block attacks, how to deflect them, and how to hit someone. Then, I'll teach you how to escape when someone's holding you like Cerah was." I dropped this last sentence in on purpose, hoping to shock her into realizing, 'hey, maybe I do need to know this and should do what he says.'
 
(( Oh, Zeyro. //pats head// xD Goodnight, Ekim! :3 ))


Ava returned the handshake for a moment before letting her arm fall back by her side. She smiled warmly at Lanli, glad to hear what her talent was. "A blacksmith?! That's wonderful!" she exclaimed, possibly a little too enthusiastically. "Sorry, it's just I haven't yet met many female blacksmiths. I'm a carpenter," she tells Lanli with a grin.


Ava clasped her hands together behind her back and looked at the wall, nodding her head slowly. It seemed that there was about to be a new resident of Auchertown. She wasn't quite sure how long the elf would stay, but either way she probably would be spending the night there. Since she happened to be alone, maybe it would be a good idea to introduce her to the other elves she'd met earlier that day.


"Auchertown is a secret town hidden deep in the forest. It's pretty much dead center between Fayland and Reddell. It's for any elves who've escaped their homelands and were able to make it this far. This wall right here," she says, gesturing to the large stone wall surrounding the village, "is actually a magical barrier. There's no actual entrances so that those who are not welcome cannot come in. In order to enter and exit the town, you must get one of these stamps on your palm." Ava holds her palm up towards Lanli, allowing her to observe the circular, barely visible symbol on her skin. "It's an enchanted stamp, so that you can do this..."


Ava walks up to the wall and places her palm with the stamp on the cold stones. After a moment or two, a large hole forms in the wall, allowing them to pass through. She smiled, eyeing Lanli to see her reaction.


"All residents of Auchertown are required to get a stamp so they can enter and exit whenever they please. Since you're here, you may as well stay. You can stay as long as you wish, we're all kind villagers. This is a place where Light Elves, Dark Elves, and Dihart Elves can all live in peace and harmony." She keeps her palm held out so that she can keep the hole in the wall open. Ava nods her head at Lanli, gesturing for her to go ahead through.
 
Juniper stared at him hiding how off guard she was by his words. Sometimes she forgot how much words hurt. "You never saw, you don't know how Cerah was holding me." she shook her head. " You try and defend yourself with electricity running up your spine." she defends "I have enough strength to pull myself into a tree. I'm not completely useless, but I'm not lifting a bunch of dumb crates for your amusement. If you aren't going to teach me anything useful then I'm done."
 
Varexes-


I stared at her for a moment, gauging her seriousness. It was difficult due to her passive face. In fact, nigh on impossible. But I sighed and nodded. "Fine." I kicked the crates out of the way and stood there in front of her. "But it's going to be much harder to train you since I don't know your limits." I allowed a trace of frustration to enter my voice, but it was gone almost immediately. "Would you prefer to attack or defend first?" I asked flatly.
 
"Thank you very much." Lanli thanked Ava, stepping through the opening that had just appeared through the wall. "I'm curious, does anything interesting happen in this town?" She paused for a moment, then turned around, blushing and flustered. "Oh, I'm sorry! That was rude! What I mean is, is there anything that goes on in this town that's exciting? Oh... That isn't much better! I'm sorry." She apologized, bowing her head. Lanli wasn't the best with words, and she often had problems discerning if what she said might be taken as rude or not. She reminded herself of this fact again as she kept her head bowed, trying to glance up to see if Ava looked angry or not.
 
Ava laughed lightly at Lanli's words, smiling as she stepped through the wall. The hole closed up once again behind her, knowing she wasn't going to be relaxing any time soon. However, she didn't mind at all. This new elf seemed to be quite nice and it was indeed getting her mind off of her guilt from earlier.


"Hm, well not really," Ava said, searching her mind for anything that seemed exciting in this town. "Everyone's friendly with one another...elves make goods and sell them in front of their homes during the day..and well, that's about it." She began to walk along the dirt road, assuming Lanli would follow. She turned to face the girl after a moment, an apologetic frown across her rosy lips. "I'm sorry for the lack of excitement.." Once again, she felt guilty that she couldn't make things too interesting for the girl..even though that wasn't Ava's fault, but the town's for being too peaceful.
 
At this point, Lanli was turning a bright shade of red. "No no! I'm sorry! Lack of excitement is fine, it's not anyones fault but my own for being... Well, I'm not sure what. But you definitely did nothing wrong, neither did the town." Lanli paused and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, I'm getting too flustered again. Thank you for inviting me into the town, that was very kind of you." She said, hoping that Ava couldn't see that she was still blushing.
 
Ava laughed a bit more, squinting a bit as she smiled. "Oh, it's no problem at all! We welcome all who pass by!" she said cheerfully, making her way down the dirt path. "Now, I'll take you to the stamping station to get stamped." Ava held up her palm, reminding her that all residents needed a stamp on their hand in order to stay. "Just follow me over to that building over there, if you don't mind. Orion, the owner, should still be awake, I think.." 
((Lmfao, I just typed up this MASSIVE paragraph here venting about this huge random story about my old best friend and I 'cause I've been watching something that made me think of it and it felt really good to write..I didn't send it though because I didn't want to bother you guys with my huge story x'D ))
 
"Alright." Lanli said, smiling. She was starting to relax a bit, Ava seemed genuinely friendly. And it looked like she hadn't been offended by anything yet. Which was good. She followed Ava down the dirt path, taking in as much of her surroundings as she could. She yawned quietly, Lanli didn't know what time it was, but she was a bit tired from her journey to Auchertown.
 
Ava smiled, walking alongside Lanli as they headed down the dirt path. It was a very chilly autumn night and she regretted not throwing a sweater on before leaving the house. She continued to walk until the two arrived at the little stone house with the large wooden sign nailed onto it: STAMPING STATION.


She grabbed the handle of the small, oval wooden door and pulled it open once she saw that they were open. The small home was lit up brightly and the pudgy bald elf was still behind the counter cleaning things off. When he saw Ava and Lanli, he looked a bit surprised for a moment, but then smiled right away.


"Ava!" he exclaimed cheerfully, "and..friend! I don't think I've seen this one before..a new elf?" he wondered, eyeing the girl.


Ava laughed softly, approaching the desk. "Yes, Orion this is Lanli. She's a blacksmith from Fayland. Lanli, this is Orion, he's a carpenter from Fayland. He lives here, but works with the stamps as well," she said, introducing the two.


"Ah, nice to meet ya, Lanli!" Orion said, pulling out the ink pad from under his desk. "Now, I'll need to see the palm of your hand for a moment." 
((Okai.. xD Prepare yourself.


I've been watching this 45 minute video I made an old friend a long while ago...It has all of our best memories since we were kids up 'til like the end of this year in one huge video. I spent a week making it for her birthday..In the beginning there's a letter I wrote to her about how she was my best friend and we had all these wonderful memories together and we'd have more..and I found that in my room today, so it possessed me to watch this video. After all, I did put a lot of effort into it to make it perfect. Of course, we're no longer friends. We haven't been for a long time now. Figures, she turned out to be a b*tch and a whore(well, more like a wannabe whore) and I put up with it for months and tried to overlook it. She tried to get my boyfriend to cheat on me with her 'cause she liked him. And I knew she was doing that but I let her because I felt bad. Eventually I ended up asking her to stop, first time politely, second time more seriously. She even made me make like a deal with her so that she'd stop flirting with him and telling him she loved him. It was ridiculous. I shouldnt have even needed to ask her to stop. So after a while it got out of hand and I realized she wasn't a good friend at all, so I told her I didn't wanna hang around her anymore. Then she went to the office at school and tried to get me in trouble, saying I was the one who made her want to cut herself. Not only that, but she ended up saying I was 'talking to strangers online' which meant like you guys, but you're all my friends, but adults think everyones like a pedophile online -_- so I got talked to by the guidance counselor and a call home to my parents and what not. Fortunately, in the end her plan backfired and she got in huge trouble and had her phone and internet taken away for like 2-3 months. I told my mother about how she was talking to this guy that kept asking for nude pics, even though I told her she shouldn't talk to that guy because he was a huge pervert. No matter what she wouldn't listen to me, even though he was always being a huge creeper to her. She said she liked him because he was attractive. I told her that's no reason to keep talking to him, she was just going to get hurt in the end. I was trying to protect her. I did so much for this girl because I thought she was my best friend, but she took my friendship for granted.


Why..why do people take my kindness for granted so much? -_- ))
 
(Honestly I was expecting longer :P


But people take kindness for granted because they're selfish. They are so self-absorbed that they never realize "Hey... maybe this person is right." Human stubbornness has something to do with it to: we always want to be right. Your friend was selfish and took advantage of you to make herself happier, and when it comes to that pervert guy that asked her for nudes, if she's going to do that let her. This is why I don't tell my friends what to do anymore. I say "I suggest you do this" or "if I were you I wouldn't do that" and I'd explain why, but then I'd say "but it's your life, so live it how you want." Sometimes they do it and it works out for them, and I tell them I'm glad I was wrong and I'm happy for them. Sometimes they do it and it hurts them and I pick them up and say "Now do you trust me?" and they usually say yes and listen to my advice. Other times they listen and it saves them a lot of pain.


Humans are just the worst type of being alive. They literally scare me more than anything else, even spiders and snakes.)
 
(sorry, went to eat dinner.)


"I don't know. I guess defend." she decided thinking she might embarrass herself less. She was glad that it was only the two of them, although she would have preferred to not make a fool of herself at all. She watched him not sure what to expect next.


(Nami, that story reminds me of what happened to my little sister this year. Girls can be so mean..)
