5[03:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hi."
6[03:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<You will acknowledge me....someday!>"
7[03:33] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hi."
8[03:34] Rieka asks, "Hm?"
9[03:34] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "I like your hair. What are you wearing that outfit for?"
10[03:37] Gave the stranger a suspicious look, clearly not trusting the compliment entirely. Looking them over a moment before speaking in response.
11
12"Thank you...Probably the same reason you are wearing that one for, its comfortable or something."
13(Rieka)
14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15
16[03:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh, it's comfortable? Dang, I can get you, like, some great looking clothes you know."
17[03:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Like the one I'm wearing! It's my newest fashion design, Fairy Tale! It looks good, right?"
18[03:40] Scrunches up her nose a bit at the mention of fashion, and shook her head.
19
20"No thanks, I don't care about fashion."
21(Rieka)
22--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23
24[03:40] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Heeeey, come on. Don't say that until you try that."
25[03:41] Rieka says, "Nope."
26[03:42] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, my dreams."
27[03:43] Rieka says, "Find somebody else to talk about fashion with."
28[03:43] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Fine. It was nice to meet you nice h-"
29[03:43] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, nevermind. Rude."
30[03:44] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hiiiii."
31[03:44] Rieka says, "..."
32[03:45] Celeste Ruger asks, "Yes?"
33[03:45] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Is that your fire thingie behind you?"
34[03:46] Celeste Ruger says, "Yes. Her name is Holocaust."
35[03:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "She looks really pretty."
36[03:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Does she blows things up with fire?"
37[03:46] Celeste Ruger says, "Thank you and yes she does."
38[03:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "That's really cool. I like your dress by the way, what kind of jacket is that?"
39[03:51] Celeste Ruger says, "Thank you, and it's just a white one."
40[03:53] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "<Is that me?>"
41[04:12]

44[04:18] Vincent Valenta asks, "What is it that you all are doing?"
45[04:22] Vincent Valenta asks, "Huh?"
46[04:22] Vincent Valenta asks, "I was wondering what you guys were doing?"
47[04:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Oh!"
48[04:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "We were comparing fashion designs."
49[04:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Though, she still won't tell me what that jacket is."
50[04:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "It's really nice."
51[04:23] Celeste Ruger says, "It's just a cloat you get at the fancy merchant next to the old guy."
52[04:23] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Is it expensive?"
53[04:23] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I like her sense of fashion."
54[04:23] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Her jackets a little long though."
55[04:24] Vincent Valenta says, "H-huh..."
56[04:24] Celeste Ruger says, "Not really expesnive and thank you."
57[04:24] Vincent Valenta says, "Soemthing I'd never understand then."
58[04:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hey, she has red hair too! That's so cute."
59[04:24] Celeste Ruger asks, "Who are you?"
60[04:25] Celeste would look the Accursed up and down as she placed her hands on her hips.
61(Celeste Ruger)
62--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
63
64[04:25] Vincent Valenta says, "Vincent. Valenta."
65[04:25] Vincent Valenta asks, "Who are you, hm?"
66[04:25] Celeste Ruger says, "My name is Celeste Ruger."
67[04:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "What about you pretty lady? What's your name."
68[04:25] Vincent Valenta says, "It matters little about my name, my authority rings some bells around here."
69[04:25] Vincent Valenta says, "Sometimes at least."
70[04:26] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Oh uh- Valeriya Smyrnoi."
71[04:26] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Pleasure to meetcha."
72[04:26] Celeste Ruger says, "Your authority rings bells? I haven't heard of you so I guess not."
73[04:26] Vincent Valenta says, "My mother was a knight before she passed in a raid against the vampires about a year and a half ago - I tend to over share."
74[04:26] Celeste Ruger asks, "Your mother?"
75[04:27] Vincent Valenta says, "That's alright, when I act people listen."
76[04:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, that name is hard. It sounds so cool though! "
77[04:27] Vincent Valenta says, "Yeah, my mother, Rea."
78[04:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "My name is Igleta."
79[04:27] Celeste Ruger says, "I'm sorry to hear that, but I doubt you're stronger then my brother Gideon."
80[04:27] Celeste Ruger says, "Even Sylvester is tough."
81[04:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Slyvester?"
82[04:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Did I do it right?"
83[04:27] Celeste Ruger says, "Sylvester Rug.er"
84[04:27] Celeste Ruger says, "Gideon Ruger."
85[04:28] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I dont think ive met either of them."
86[04:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Woah, I just really looked at you. You're, like, crazy pretty. Can you make me pretty too?"
87[04:29] Vincent Valenta says, "Gideon-"
88[04:29] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "D-"
89[04:29] Valeriya Smyrnoi asks, "Do you mean me?"
90[04:29] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Yeah!"
91[04:29] Valeriya Smyrnoi asks, "I- I mean I can t-try?"
92[04:29] Vincent pauses and makes a face akin to this:

96--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
97
98[04:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Yaaay! Oh my gosh, I'm going to look soooo pretty. Then I'll make new outfits for how pretty I am, and then I'll sell all those outfits!"
99[04:30] Celeste Ruger asks, "Why the face? Did my brother beat you up?"
100[04:31] Vincent Valenta says, "No."
101[04:32] Vincent Valenta says, "Never fought him, he just has a personality."
102[04:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Do you like fashion, Val?"
103[04:32] Vincent Valenta says, "I think he knows how he is - he was pretty rude when I was young. Like years ago."
104[04:32] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Its never really been... On my mind."
105[04:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Oh, what's on your mind then?"
106[04:33] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Uhh- Not much usually."
107[04:33] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I can do your hair or something if you want."
108[04:37] Vincent Valenta says, "Anbyway."
109[04:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "M-My hair?"
110[04:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I-It's really long though...I just have it put up."
111[04:38] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Mmm... Not really- Ive never cut my hair and I just leave it down."
112[04:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Since you're so pretty, I shall trust you completely!"
113[04:39] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Uhh... Well lets head to the library, I like it in there."
114[04:40] Igleta looks at Celeste.
115(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
116--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
117
118[04:40] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Will you come with us?"
119[04:40] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Your welcome to come along- I dont bite."
120[04:43] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Will you?"
121[04:43] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I didn't even get your name yet, you know."
122[04:43] Celeste Ruger says, "My name is Celeste."
123[04:44] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I am Valeriya Smyrnoi. Its nice to meet you Celeste."
124[04:44] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "D'awww your name reminds me a bit of my middle name. That's so adorable. I'm Igleta, Celeste! Nice to meet ya."
125[04:44] Igleta looks at creepy dude.
126(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
127--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
128
129[04:44] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Nice to meet you too, Vincent."
130[04:46] Vincent Valenta asks, "Uh-huh, nice to meet you all - new students, yes?"
131[04:46] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Hmm? Oh Im Twenty."
132[04:47] Vincent Valenta says, "Still can be a student, hm..."
133[04:47] Valeriya Smyrnoi asks, "Do I have to know how to read?"
134[04:47] Valeriya Smyrnoi asks, "Or write?"
135[04:48] Vincent Valenta says, "Proably - nice to meet you as well, Celeste."
136[04:48] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, I didn't get one."
137[04:48] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm a disgrace."
138[04:49] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Oh, I dont know how to do either."
139[04:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "You can't read Val?"
140[04:49] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Nope."
141[04:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "I can teach you for making me pretty!"
142[04:50] Valeriya Smyrnoi asks, "Why would I learn what I dont need?"
143[04:50] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Cause you like to spend time with me."
144[04:50] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "......Ok."
145[04:50] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hah. I am victorious."
146[04:51] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hi person, I like your ears."
147[04:51] Peppermint says, "Peppermint."
148[04:51] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Sorry no- I dont have one."
149[04:51] Peppermint says, "And yes. People try to touch them for - whatever reason. Thank you."
150[04:51] Peppermint says, "I wouldn't mind if others asked first."
151[04:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Hi Peppermint. Oh, I just like to touch ears like that. I got told that other people do it for weird reasons!"
152[04:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh my gosh......"
153[04:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Can I touch your ears?"
154[04:52] Peppermint says, "Of course. Come here."
155[04:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "!?"
156[04:53] Vincent Valenta says, "The ball of sunshine to my darkness."
157[04:53] Vincent Valenta says, "I must flee over the horizon."
158[04:53] Peppermint asks, "Is that your way of saying hello, Vincent?"
159[04:54] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Poetic."
160[04:54] Vincent Valenta says, "It could be, yes."
161[04:54] Peppermint says, "He's quite dramatic, yes."
162[04:54] Peppermint says, "Vincent, your birthday is coming up. "
163[04:55] Vincent Valenta says, "I'm far too old to be so weak."
164[04:55] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "You look younger than me."
165[04:55] Vincent Valenta says, "My path to the top has slowed almost to a halt."
166[04:55] Igleta quickly rushes over to Peppermint's location. Of course, she would have an entirely different appearance about her. Her eyes had become like giant diamonds and her hands were cupped like crab claws as she approached. The youth would stop a few feet away from Peppermint. Every few moments, she would crap walk closer, and then closer, to Peppermint until she was directly upon her. Another moment would pass and she would extend those claws of hands, her diamond eyes would look at Peppermint to make sure it was actually fine.

170[04:55] Vincent Valenta says, "All my friends have vanished."
171[04:55] Vincent Valenta says, "This palce has not bee lively - no pun intended."
172[04:56] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I can be your friend."
173[04:56] Celeste Ruger says, "I'll be your friend too Vincent."
174[04:56] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "See theres two friends."
175[04:56] Vincent stares up to the sky, eyes fading, almsot like they turn milky.
176
177He stares into the abyss.
178(Vincent Valenta)
179--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
180
181[04:56] Vincent Valenta says, "Yes, but my old friends were men."
182[04:56] Vincent Valenta says, "It is different, more comfortable around them."
183[04:56] Vincent Valenta says, "No offense."
184[04:57] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Women make better friends."
185[04:57] Vincent Valenta says, "They have a lot of mood swings."
186[04:57] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "....."
187[04:57] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Your not wrong."
188[04:58] Celeste Ruger says, "I don't."
189[04:58] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I most definitely do."
190[04:58] The young woman is more than happy to oblige this eager youngster. Good manners usually was the key to getting what one wanted. Peppermint bends herself down, hands on her knees to try to level herself a bit with Igleta's wanting touch. The truth is - the ookami had no shame in admitting her love for these things to be paid attention to.
191
192"Alright. Just remember - no tugging."
193(Peppermint)
194--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
195
196[05:01] Celeste would let out a yawn as she leaned her back against the wall alongside Vincent.
197(Celeste Ruger)
198--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
199
200[05:02] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Sooo..."
201[05:02] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "This place seems alot.... calmer than its been in recent years."
202[05:04] A low-pitched squeal is unveiled under Igleta's breath as she reaches out both of her crab shaped hands and lightly squeeze the Ookami's ears. They were different than that of a Kitsune. However, all that matters was that now two of the species had permitted her to touch their ears and part of her life's goal had been completed! A new best friend had been acquired!!! The youth would squeeze once more examining the texture and composition of her ears and then open her mouth, the surging wind and movement of her innards to shape the squeal that were escaping her possibly capable of being heard with such attuned hearing. "SQEEEEEE!" The girl would announce before stepping back while her features returned to normal.
203
204
205"Oh my goooooooooooooooooosh, they were so fluffy. That's amazing, you're amazing! Thank you for letting me touch your ears Peppermint! Most people won't let me touch their super cool, super amazing looking ears. I almost had some cat ears you know, they were fake, but they were super cool looking and I love kitties cause they're the best things ever in the universe of everything, like, all the time forever. Do you like kitties, I really like kitties." The youth would be speaking rather rapidly, it was clear that she was overwhelmingly excited about the recent interaction.
206(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
207--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
208
209[05:06] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Pft."
210[05:06] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Adorable"
211[05:10] Celeste Ruger says, "I miss Bei."
212[05:15] Well. It might be a culture thing, or perhaps the pride that lay at the core of all beastkin. To not be treated as some mere pet or accessory for features that were supposed to link them to somethin bestial. Something untamed. One could describe Peppermint as 'domesticated'. While she still held that bevy of her own esteem, it was carried elsewhere than in the mere access to her ears. Why would she hide these from the world? There's plenty of good reasons. However, she'll patiently await for the younger girl to finish gushing warm approval before offering her own insight.
213
214"It is good to express admiration for liking certain traits in a person. But it is a world of difference when one comes up to you and tries to grasp upon your body without permission. These are traits of ourselves that are every bit as functional and feeling as any other part. They're. . .sensitive. So don't take it personally when faced with rejection. It's just. . .an instinct. And beastkin have stronger instincts than any other." Peppermint's velveteen ears experience quite the massage. They flick once Igleta's touch retracts.
215
216"Consider it only natural to protect the most vulnerable parts of yourself." Hopefully, the girl won't confuse a nagual, kitsune, or ookami for a companionable pet. The most vicious and worst of them were monstrous cannibals who gave into the chaotic urges of their origin.
217
218"I do like kitties. I like many things. The world is a brighter place when you find the things you love." The woman smiles once more.
219
220"Hold onto those good feelings you have, alright? They're important to remember. But for now, it is time for me to go to bed. I just came to collect Vincent before he gets too moody."
221(Peppermint)
222--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
223
224[05:17] Igleta nearly squealed again as the ears twitched. That was freaking cool.
225(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
226--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
227
228[05:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Y-Yeah. I hope we can hang out though, Peppermint!"
229[05:19] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "We're besties now, by the way."
230[05:19] Peppermint says, "Sure. All of my friends are guys. "
231[05:19] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hah, well I'm your one and bestest ever female friend."
232[05:19] Peppermint exclaims, "Of course!"
233[05:19] The ookami extends her pinky finger. "Promise."
234(Peppermint)
235--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
236
237[05:20] Igleta gasps. She extends her pinky finger as well wrapping it around Peppermint's own. "Promise." A wide smile appears on her face, and wouldn't fade until something brought her mood down. "Since we're besties, feel free to call me Eclipsa!"
238(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
239--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
240
241[05:22] "Alright now, Eclipsa. Promise to be good while I'm away. I have to go water my plants."
242
243It seems as though Vincent has tired himself out with his theatrics.
244(Peppermint)
245--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
246
247[05:23] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Shall we go? I'm ready to see."
248[05:23] Valeriya Smyrnoi asks, "If I had fluffy ears I wouldnt have lost your attention would I have?"
249[05:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Nope, you would not have. I love them."
250[05:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I love them sooooo much. I wish I had some, but I only have bat ears."
251[05:25] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I forgot where the library went."
252[05:25] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "They must have moved it."
253[05:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I've never even been to a library before."
254[05:25] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Ahaaaaa."
255[05:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, there's so many books."
256[05:26] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Mhm."
257[05:26] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I enjoy spending time in this kind of place."
258[05:26] Igleta acknowledges that aura.
259(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
260--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
261
262[05:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "But, you can't read. Why do you like it so much?"
263[05:27] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "-Shrug-"
264[05:27] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Its usually quiet."
265[05:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "O-Oh, do you like it quiet?"
266[05:28] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Not all the time."
267[05:29] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh , yay! I was scared I wouldn't be able to hang out with you whenever cause I talk so much."
268[05:29] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I dont mind it when you talk."
269[05:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yaaaay. I really do like talking."
270[05:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "So what are you thinking of doing with my hair?"
271[05:31] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Well... let it down, give it a nice brushing, thats all I ever do with mine."
272[05:31] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Okieeeee. How should I keep stuff from getting in it?"
273[05:31] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Hmm? It just sort of happens..."
274[05:31] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Got to brush your hair once a day.... Wash it out.... All that fun stuff."
275[05:36] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, alright. I'll try it."
276[05:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Will you show me all the steps though?"
277[05:37] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Sure! But it might hurt a little."
278[05:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "It will?"
279[05:39] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "W-Why will it hurt?"
280[05:39] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Well... Gotta brush out the dirt and tangles."
281[05:39] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "The dirt!????"
282[05:40] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Uh-huh... If you dont wash and brush your hair you wont get all of the dirt out."
283[05:42] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I-I hope there's no dirt in my hair! I try really hard to keep it like this just to avoid all the nasty stuff from getting in my hair."
284[05:42] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Well I live in The Glade."
285[05:42] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "So I get alot of twigs in my hair."
286[05:42] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Oh, you live with Song, Fox, and Mother?"
287[05:43] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Song is my-"
288[05:43] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Uh..."
289[05:43] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Uh..."
290[05:43] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Step dad."
291[05:44] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Really!?"
292[05:44] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "I'm his number one fan. I'm going to get him to sing at a party and I got him to double sign my armor!"
293[05:44] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Mhm... Hes dating my mom."
294[05:44] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Hes a nice guy."
295[05:45] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Dang. Who's your mom?"
296[05:45] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Alexandrea. She the Glades Guardian"
297[05:45] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Shes an Oscuri."
298[05:45] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang. You have so much cool stuff in your life."
299[05:46] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Hardly."
300[05:48] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "My mom could care less about me and Song isnt the same since he started being with my mom."
301[05:48] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "So Ive been hanging out around here."

305[05:54] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Mmmm. I'm so scared now, but I want to be pretty!"
306[05:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Fine, I'll do it!"
307[05:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I want to be pretty just like you Val."
308[06:00] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Hmmm? Oh ok... Well... I can brush your hair. Thats all I really do."
309[06:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "B-But..."
310[06:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Is that what makes you pretty?"
311[06:00] Valeriya Smyrnoi asks, "I dont know....?"
312[06:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Nnnngh, but you got to know Val! Let's do it, maybe with all my hair out I'll be pretty."
313[06:00] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Your as pretty, if not prettier than I am though."
314[06:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mu-"
315[06:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Pssssshhhh, naaaw."
316[06:01] Valeriya Smyrnoi exclaims, "Mhhhhm. Like a little porcelain doll!"
317[06:01] Valeriya Smyrnoi exclaims, "Adorable!"
318[06:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "D'awwwww. Staaaaahp."
319[06:01] Igleta turns red like a little tomato.

322
323[06:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I just want to like..."
324[06:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "I don't know. I don't think a lot of people think I'm pretty, you know?"
325[06:02] Valeriya Smyrnoi asks, "You know why I dont like thinking about what people think about me?"
326[06:02] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Why?"
327[06:03] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Because people call me a psycho."
328[06:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Whaaaaaa?"
329[06:03] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Mhm."
330[06:04] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Why?"
331[06:04] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Because I get really mad."
332[06:05] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Oh no, I don't want to make you mad! What gets you so angry?"
333[06:05] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Alot of things."
334[06:05] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Like what, though? You got to tell me, I don't even want to make you mad Val. You might not like me anymore if I do!"
335[06:06] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Well... I dont know... Just stupid stuff... Like not getting my way."
336[06:09] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Im like a big kid I guess..."
337[06:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "D'awwww. That's adorable, though."
338[06:12] Igleta removes the bow from her hair and turns to give Valeriya access to her hair. A second time in her life!
339(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
340--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
341
342[06:16] Val pulls out a small hairbrush that has a bit of red hair in it. As she pulled it through the girls hair- it wouldn't hurt as bad as she first let on. It seemed her hair brush was good enough not to harm too bad.
343
344"Ohhhh…. Really soft..." She muttered, pulling the brush through the girls hair.
345
346Val's 4'4 frame likely had to stand up to be able to get the brush all the way through.
347
348"Oh- Here hold this!" She said placing her pipe- still smoking- in the girls mouth.
349
350Val then began using both hands on the brush, pulling it through her hair over and over again.
351(Valeriya Smyrnoi)
352--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
353
354[06:28] As son as the girl brought the brush onto her hair. The many holdings and bindings within her hair would release allowing her hair to fall to its full length. The little girl would shuffle for a moment as she fell it fall against her back. It was soft, truly very soft. Almost as if it might fade away under a mere touch, and yet once the brush went through it the hair would unnaturally straighten out without opposition. However, there would be various portions where it didn't do such a thing. "Ow. Ow." Igleta would repeat whenever such a moment transpired.
355
356Val was only slightly taller than Igleta and as such would likely have trouble with the extensive amount of hair that was presented before it. It was earnestly bizarre to realize that so much hair had been confined to such a small position. Suddenly, Valeriya would shove her pipe into Igleta's mouth, "Ew," the girl would rapidly respond. Her hand would raise up taking hold of it and removing it from her mouth, holding it within her hand instead. The youth would cringe having gotten the taste and feeling of the smoke within her mouth. "Ew, why do you like that?" She inquires.

360[06:29] Valeriya Smyrnoi asks, "Hmmm?"
361[06:29] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Oh Soothe Reed helps calm me down."
362[06:29] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "If I wasnt smoking it Id be a raging bit- mean person."
363[06:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Soothe Reed? You're getting high?"
364[06:30] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "If you want to call it that."
365[06:30] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Yes."
366[06:31] Igleta gasps.

370[06:31] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You're so bad."
371[06:31] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Nuh-uh"
372[06:33] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "You wandered into a quiet library with me though-"
373[06:33] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "So if Im so bad-"
374[06:34] Valeriya Smyrnoi asks, "Then why did you come alone with me?"
375[06:35] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "-"
376[06:35] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Cause you're pretty though!"
377[06:35] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Crazy people can be pretty."
378[06:35] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "T-They can?"
379[06:35] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "But you're not crazy, you're just silly!"
380[06:36] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Hmm..."
381[06:36] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I dont think Im crazy."
382[06:38] Valeriya Smyrnoi asks, "Have you ever been to the Glade?"
383[06:41] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Once!"
384[06:41] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I went with Kitty to the Glade to find Paladia before."
385[06:42] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Paladia....."
386[06:42] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "-Sigh-"
387[06:43] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I dont like her."
388[06:43] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "What is it?"
389[06:43] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Wait, why?"
390[06:43] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "She took my crush away."
391[06:43] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "What when?"
392[06:43] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Id been talking to Shezmu for years.... Id thought we had something..."
393[06:44] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "O-Oh...."
394[06:44] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Please take him from her...."
395[06:44] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "He tried to do bad things when she was asleep......"
396[06:44] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I can beat him up."
397[06:45] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "I thought he was like a General or something?"
398[06:46] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Uhuh..."
399[06:46] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "He is."
400[06:46] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Hes the commander of Deseti."
401[06:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, Val is super amazing."
402[06:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "I didn't know you were so strong!"
403[06:46] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "No he just wont hit me back."
404[06:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "D'awwww, see he likes you."
405[06:47] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "All the boys I know will beat me up."
406[06:47] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Only Kitty won't fight me."
407[06:48] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I wouldnt fight you."
408[06:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "D-D'awwwww, you're so cute Val!"
409[06:50] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "You remind of the little sister I always wanted."
410[06:51] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Ohhh, you want to be my sister? I have two already, you know!"
411[06:52] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I have a little brother."
412[06:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "You do?"
413[06:53] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Mhm."
414[06:53] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Hes Two."
415[06:53] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, he's tiny."
416[06:54] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Mhm."
417[06:54] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "All he ever does is sleep."
418[06:54] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "His dad is a frozen statue in Bhaldraithe."
419[06:54] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, that's super cute."
420[06:54] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I havent got to meet him yet."
421[06:54] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Wait, what?"
422[06:55] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Mhm.... The guy my mom was with before Song."
423[06:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Why is he a frozen statue, though?"
424[06:56] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Because the vampires wanted to keep him."
425[06:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh no, that's so mean."
426[06:57] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Mhm..."
427[06:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, I don't get why vampires have to be jerks."
428[06:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Voss was trying to kill me and Kitty and stuff, but then he robbed us instead."
429[06:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Such a jerk."
430[06:58] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Better to be robbed than killed."
431[06:58] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "-Nod-"
432[06:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Y-Yeah, then I wouldn't have met all you cool people!"
433[06:59] Katrin slowly walked into the library, she looked like she was completely exhausted.

435--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
436
437[06:59] Valeriya was brushing the girls hair, as she turned over to Katrin. "Hello there!" She said with a wave.

439--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
440
441[07:00] Igleta attempts to turn to see the person that entered!
442(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
443--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
444
445[07:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Kitty! What's wrong?"
446[07:06] Katrin slowly walked over towards Igleta and collapsed as she shifted to sit down.
447
448"Just... tired is all.. Leona.. got hurt by Yuki."
449
450As Katrin closed her eyes, the feeling she put off strengthened a bit.
451
452She heard a whisper in the back of her mind.
453
454'she can not find out, she will forget you if she learns what you did.. she will forget me'
455
456Katrin slowly nodded her head as she understood what Raksis was saying.
457(Katrin Weiner)
458--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
459
460[07:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Yuki hurt you?????"
461[07:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "WAIT!?"
462[07:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Leona got hurt by Yuki????"
463[07:10] Katrin nodded her head.
464
465"That's what … he said anyways.. shes got.. a large burn.. on her stomach.. he said it was... an accident.
466
467But yet.. she still... went with him."
468(Katrin Weiner)
469--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
470
471[07:11] Katrin Weiner says, "I can beat this Yuki up if you want."
472[07:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "UGGGHHHH!!!!"
473[07:13] A long, deep exhale is given from Igleta as she tries to mess up Valeriya who was messing with her hair. Her hair was her baby, second to her clothing, after all and she wouldn't let it be sullied. The youth let out a low scream as she tried to keep herself calm. "Why does he always have to be a jerk! He hurt my sister? No way, I'm going to Huangzho and kicking his butt. That's super not cool, what a mean person! He was my best friend and now he's doing all these all of this!" The youth was starting to get incredibly emotional from hearing this information. It was very difficult to manage to not understand that, and even she was fighting against it.
474(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
475--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
476
477[07:15] Katrin Weiner says, "Igleta.. you can't use your magic.. you'll just get hurt too..."
478[07:15] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "-Ahem-"
479[07:15] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I could uh-"
480[07:16] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Probably say something to this kid if hes just going around burning people."
481[07:16] Katrin Weiner says, "A boy.. named Najal was there.. he said hi.. but I honestly wonder if.. he's the one who hurt her... I can't really see Yuki getting out of control like that... plus Yuki is pathetically weak.."
482[07:16] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "If you can take me to this Huangzhou or whatever it is-"
483[07:16] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I can say some words."
484[07:16] Katrin Weiner says, "Najal..said he got into an argument with Yuki about you.. and got punched by Yuki though."
485[07:17] Katrin slowly looked over at Valeriya. "Forgive me for not giving you a.. proper introduction.. my body is kind of exhausted right now.. used too much of my magic.. I'm Katrin, Igleta's girlfriend. It's nice to meet you."
486(Katrin Weiner)
487--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
488
489[07:18] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Oooooh You two are too young to be dating."
490[07:18] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "But you make a cute couple regardless."
491[07:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Nnnnngh!"
492[07:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "We need to go to Huangzho as fast as we can, but....dang. Kitty is so tired....."
493[07:21] Katrin Weiner says, "Yea.. you realize that I'm fifteen and she's fourteen right?.. there is no age restriction on dating."
494[07:21] Katrin Weiner says, "I like.... your outfit Letty, you look very pretty."
495[07:21] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Nnnnngh, T-Thanks."
496[07:21] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "I'm so mad!"
497[07:21] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Well it dosent really matter. You should wait till your older."
498[07:21] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "But like I said- Cute couple."
499[07:22] Katrin slowly got to her feet.
500
501"We can go, I just can't use much magic right now, I'll need a few hours before my circuits recover from being overused. One is never too young to hold hands and care for someone miss.
502
503Would you guys like to go? Letty knows the way and I can go through Crafthold again. Eiphraem doesn't have a problem with me being there it seems."
504(Katrin Weiner)
505--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
506
507[07:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Y-Yeah, let's go now!"
508[07:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Please come too Val."
509[07:23] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Ok..."
510[07:23] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "<You know its bad when Im twenty and cant get anything but these kids->"
511[07:23] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "-Mumble-"
512[07:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "If I'm too young though...."
513[07:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I mean, so many people are trying to date me though."
514[07:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Does that mean that they're weird?"
515[07:25] Katrin Weiner says, "it just means that you are amazing. It does.. kind of bother me that you say that though.. "
516[07:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Oh, don't get bothered. I'm yours, right?"
517[07:25] Katrin Weiner says, "I know silly, but you also know I get kind of jealous.."
518[07:26] Igleta reapplies the bow while they travel.

522[07:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "S-Sorry! I won't say it anymore."
523[07:26] Katrin Weiner says, "No, it's okay, I just have to get used to so many people wanting to date my beautiful and wonderful girlfriend."
524[07:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hehe. You're so silly."
525[07:27] Katrin Weiner says, "I like making you laugh, you have a nice laugh."
526[07:27] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "We'll be going close to my hometown...."
527[07:27] Katrin Weiner asks, "Who are you anyways miss?"
528[07:27] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Valeriya Smyrnoi."
529[07:27] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Im from The Glade."
530[07:27] Katrin Weiner says, "Ah..."
531[07:27] Katrin Weiner says, "You know Song then, he and I do not get along."
532[07:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "That reminds me."
533[07:27] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Hes my..."
534[07:27] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Step..."
535[07:27] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "dad...."
536[07:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Val, can you ask Song to be nicer to Kitty?"
537[07:27] Katrin Weiner asks, "Ah you're Alex's kid?"
538[07:27] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "-Nod-"
539[07:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Also, Kitty you have to be nicer to Fox, mhm."
540[07:28] Katrin Weiner says, "Then I shouldn't bring you to Huangzhou, Oscuri are killed on sight there."
541[07:28] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Im not-"
542[07:28] Katrin Weiner says, "ah, alright then."
543[07:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Val is an Oscuri?"
544[07:29] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Im not."
545[07:29] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "No."
546[07:29] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh."
547[07:29] Katrin Weiner says, "I plan on talking to Song,and I havnt been mean to Fox, I just didn't want to go to Huangzhou and he doesn't seem to understand what 'no thank you' means."
548[07:29] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh yea, Val is my sister now too."
549[07:29] Katrin Weiner asks, "What do you mean by that?"
550[07:29] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "He did that for me...."
551[07:29] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Fox-"
552[07:30] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "...."
553[07:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Sorry. I told him you wouldn't do it."
554[07:30] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "He called me a boy...."
555[07:30] Katrin Weiner says, "I don't like Fox because he's like fourty but keeps flirting with Igleta.."
556[07:30] Katrin Weiner says, "it's disqusting."
557[07:30] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I can chew him out."
558[07:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "N-No, Fox is really nice you guys."
559[07:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "He's silly."
560[07:31] Katrin Weiner says, "Honey, there's a difference between being nice, and being too nice because he wants to date you."
561[07:31] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Dang, you think so?"
562[07:31] Katrin Weiner says, "I know so, and I know he's your friend, but if he tries anything with you, I will hurt him. very badly."
563[07:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "C-Come on Kitty. You don't have to hurt him."
564[07:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I think Fox needs more super friends."
565[07:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "So we need to be his super friends!"
566[07:32] Katrin Weiner says, "If he kisses you, he will be hurt.simple as that."
567[07:32] Katrin Weiner says, "and not just by me."
568[07:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Whaaaaaaaa?"
569[07:32] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Oh Hell."
570[07:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah."
571[07:32] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Id beat him up."
572[07:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "He wouldn't do that."
573[07:32] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Your not even a woman yet and he's..."
574[07:33] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Well into his years."
575[07:33] Katrin Weiner asks, "what'd you mean when you said Val is your sister now? Did Astaria bring Val into our family as well?"
576[07:33] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Nope. She thinks of me as her little sister, so we're sisters!"
577[07:34] Katrin nodded her head, and as the hours went by and they had been slowly travelling, Katrin's mana circuits got a chance to recover.
578
579"Ah alright, well I'm sure lady Astaria would enjoy meeting her."
580
581Katrin slowly rose into the air.
582
583"I'vejust got to sit down with Song and talk with him a bit to see if we can meet some sort of resolution. It does neither of us any good to be arguing with each other and threatening one another."

591[07:35] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Theyre... Screaming..."
592[07:35] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "W-What?"
593[07:36] Valeriya wipes a tear from her eye and begins covering her ears.
594(Valeriya Smyrnoi)
595--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
596
597[07:37] Katrin Weiner says, "This place is called the dreadwoods for a reason Val."
598[07:37] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I know where we are.... And I hate it...."
599[07:38] Katrin Weiner says, "It's not that bad, I hardly even notice the screaming anymore, then again, I'm more powerful than pretty much anything you'll meet in here."
600[07:38] Katrin Weiner says, "we'll be leaving in jus a moment though"
601[07:38] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "The trees arent happy here...."
602[07:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "W-What did you mean that the trees are screaming?"
603[07:38] Katrin Weiner says, "they're plagued with occult magic. As well as demonic fae."
604[07:38] Valeriya Smyrnoi asks, "...You cant hear them?"
605[07:39] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Nuh uh."
606[07:39] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Thats better...."
607[07:39] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I guess its something you pick up living in the Glade..."
608[07:39] A group of three had stumbled upon a chest in the swamp, it was quickly met with powerful energy magic as long brown hairs were left with a trace of gravity magic in the air.
609
610The lock could not withstand the energy.
611(Katrin Weiner)
612--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
613
614[07:39] Katrin Weiner says, "empty."
615[07:39] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang."
616[07:39] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You just shot it."
617[07:40] Katrin Weiner says, "Yup, sometimes you can find treasure out in the wilderness, I found three prosthetics kits in one chest"
618[07:40] Katrin Weiner says, "just sittin near a tree"
619[07:40] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang."
620[07:40] Katrin Weiner says, "thats roughly 4500 to 6000 coins."
621[07:40] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Daaaang, that's a lot of coins."
622[07:40] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Mhm..."
623[07:41] Katrin Weiner says, "eh I've got eleven thousand on me."
624[07:41] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Kitty is rich."
625[07:41] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I dont have much need for coins."
626[07:41] Katrin Weiner says, "I spent a little over five thousand yesterday on a project for Eiphraem."
627[07:41] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I buy clothes with mine! Oh, and I feed people and stuff."
628[07:41] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang."
629[07:42] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Who is Eiph....Eiphy?"
630[07:42] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Most of my dresses are hand-me-downs."
631[07:42] Katrin Weiner says, "Eiphraem is the ruler of Crafthold, the big snake we talked to yesterday"
632[07:42] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "They look so good on you though, Val?"
633[07:42] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "The superman guy?"
634[07:42] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "He had a bunch of muscles."
635[07:42] Katrin Weiner says, "Yup"
636[07:44] Igleta immediately broke from the group and approached Yuki staring at Yuki.
637(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
638--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
639
640[07:44] Katrin Weiner says, "Letty, this is Najal, the boy who said hi to you."
641[07:44] Arashi Zao says, "Whoa."
642[07:44] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "..........................Did you do it?"
643[07:44] Arashi Zao says, "Sounds uh..."
644[07:44] Arashi Zao says, "Evil."
645[07:44] Katrin Weiner exclaims, "Oh hey Paladia!"
646[07:45] Arashi rolled his eyes and smiled a bit. He didn't really care about any Qilin going 'EEEEEEEVILLLL' or anything like that unless they were Moriya.
647(Arashi Zao)
648--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
649
650[07:45] Katrin Weiner asks, "Got any of that fancy energy to spare?"
651[07:45] Valeriya quietly looks over at Paladia, before looking back down at the ground without saying a word.
652(Valeriya Smyrnoi)
653--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
654
655[07:45] Najal would still be curled up on himself on the bench, freezing and stiffening at the sound of Igletas' voice.
656(Najal Brekk)
657--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
658
659[07:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Grrrr...."
660[07:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Jerk."
661[07:46] Katrin nudges Najal. "Aren't you going to say hi yourself?"
662(Katrin Weiner)
663--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
664
665[07:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "You're going to stop ignoring me or I'm going to beat you up like I do Sei!"
666[07:48] Najal would be nudged but remain still and silent, taking a deep steadying breth before finally looking up for the first time in a couple hours. "Uhhh… Hi... Igleta, c-can I talk to you alone for a minute?..." he would say in a shaking tone, his death grip on his knees getting a bit tighter.
667(Najal Brekk)
668--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
669
670[07:49] Igleta just continued to stare at Najal after leaving from Yuki. She wouldn't speak for a moment and just offer that usual smile that was always on her face.
671(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
672--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
673
674[07:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Why? Just whisper it to me, silly."
675[07:50] Najal Brekk whispers: I... I was the one that did it... it was an accident... Yuki just made me so mad, then Leona tried to break it up and... and my electricity went wild and turned purple and, oh Shenlong I'm so sorry Igleta.
676[07:51] Najal would start to cry a little, his hood hiding his face pretty well.
677(Najal Brekk)
678--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
679
680[07:53] Igleta would just continue to stare at Najal not actually giving any immediate reaction. Her right hand would be raised up as she pressed it against Najal's hood intending to lower it down from his face ever-so-gently. That smile still present on her face as she attempts to move Najal's face to look upon her. "You silly, I know you could never mean it. You're Najal!" She would exclaim before extending both of her hands out to him.
681
682"You just need to do a make up hug now, with me and Leona. I'll go first though. She was sleeping." The little one explained. From here she would just wait to be embraced by Najal.
683(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
684--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
685
686[07:58] Najal would simply allow his hood to be moved back from his face, tear tracks now visible. Najal would flinch slightly expecting to be slapped but instead he was offered a comforting hug. A quiet whimper would escape him as he would rapidly uncurl from his place on the bench, hugging his friend tighly and sobbing into her shoulder.
687
688"I-I ga-gave her medicine for the burn.... I just... I don't know what happened, it's never gone purple before and I just was so mad and it ran wild and I'm sorry!" he wailed into her clothing, voice muffled a bit as he shook with each sob. Najal wasn't anything like the little firebrand he'd been earlier and very far from his happy go lucky self.
689(Najal Brekk)
690--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
691
692[08:02] Valeriya is humming a tune to herself. Sitting around, enjoying the sights, the girl just began to get lost in her own thoughts unless her newly adopted little sister would need her or not.
693(Valeriya Smyrnoi)
694--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
695
696[08:02] Igleta would accept the embrace and listen to the words that Najal stated into her clothing. Muffled speech was something she understood quite well being a little crybaby herself; many outfits were ruined from this. The youth nodded her head and raised one of her hands to pat Najal on the head as he let it all out. "Mhm, mhm. I'm sure it was an accident." The girl would say to him. At this point, her right hand slowly retracted and was placed onto Najal's chest.
697
698A soft whisper would escape her lips as she spoke to him, "You're a very nice person, Najal. I know there's nothing mean or bad about you. So don't think I'm mad at you, cause I'm not! I'm not even slightly mad at you, but you shouldn't torture yourself with the way you feel right now. Those fears and stuff are what lead to Chaos instead of Order." She recited a short teaching that was given to her some time ago. However, these final words were not for Najal, they were truly for herself as she maintained that smile on her face and finished her whisper : "It was still my sister though."
699
700Suddenly, her right hand pushes forward intending to make Najal fall over backwards due to the bench that was directly behind him. Whether it did or not, Igleta would adorn a much wider grin on her face. "Now you're completely forgiven! Silly, silly." She comments before sticking out her tongue at Najal.
701(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
702--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
703
704[08:03] Ilonnia Wray says, "Heya, Wei . ."
705[08:07] She glanced over at the Djao. Maybe he was meditating.
706(Ilonnia Wray)
707--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
708
709[08:08] Katrin just looks over at the two crybabies and rolls her eyes.
710(Katrin Weiner)
711--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
712
713[08:08] Najal would be sent tumbling backwards over the bench, bopping his head on a small stone sticking out of the ground. "owwwwww." he would groan in a stuffy voice, eyes still wet from his little crybaby spell. Najal would just lay there for a moment, rolling back and forth cradling his now injured head, a small lump starting to form as his scales hadn't don't their job, probably due to his emotional state.
714
715"I deserved that" he said, starting to roll around now, trying to untangle his legs from the bench, dirt starting to cover his clothes with his motions. The little lightning drak would grasp the bench for support as he tried to climb back up on it, his other hand grasping his hood and tugging it back over his face as he sniffled a bit.
716(Najal Brekk)
717--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
718
719[08:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hehe. We need to hang out sometime you know, that's some crazy magic you explained."
720[08:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Purply fire or something."
721[08:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Sounds pretty."
722[08:09] Najal Brekk says, "I- i dunno if I can make it do it again, it was so weird."
723[08:09] Katrin Weiner says, "It's plasma magic, the same kind Yue Lai and Paladia use."
724[08:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<Guess I'm not beating up Yuki. He got lucky.>"
725[08:10] Valeriya is quietly humming to herself. The woman would lean forward looking over at the two kids- then over at Katrin, waiting for whatever. Kicking her legs back and forth, the girl waited for something to happen.
726(Valeriya Smyrnoi)
727--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
728
729[08:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, plasma, that's so cool."
730[08:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "That junk looks so cool."
731[08:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Hey Val, have you met Najal?"
732[08:11] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Nope."
733[08:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Want to? Yes, you do. Come here, silly."
734[08:12] Najal sniffled again, using the back of one sleeve to wipe his face as he got back onto the bench finally.
735(Najal Brekk)
736--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
737
738[08:12] Katrin Weiner whispers: You know Najal, I would have appreciated you coming clean with me earlier, because it did greatly upset Igleta to find out that Yuki may have hurt her sister.
739[08:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I like your ears."
740[08:13] Ilonnia Wray says, "<Was hopin' he knew where an anvil wa-->"
741[08:13] Najal Brekk whispers: I-I'm sorry, he lied to you for me and I was a little shocked, we were about to fight...
742[08:13] Ilonnia Wray says, "Oh, uh. "
743[08:13] Ilonnia Wray asks, "Thanks?"
744[08:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Mhm!"
745[08:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<Ha! Noticed me.>"
746[08:13] Katrin Weiner whispers: In the future, honesty is better, especially where the people of Huangzhou value Order. lieing is a thing that can lead one into Chaos.
747[08:14] Najal Brekk whispers: I won't do it again.
748[08:14] Katrin Weiner whispers: even though you did not lie yourself directly, you allowed one to be told without arguing against it which is just as bad. Thank you for being willing to not do it again.
749[08:14] Val walked up to Najal, all 4'4 of her leaning in and inspecting the kid before her. The girl inhaled, smoking her pipe as she examined the kid. She then exhaled softly, blowing the smoke all over the kid- all of a sudden smelling like soothe reed.
750
751"Hello there. Im Valeriya Smyrnoi!" She said with a giggle, her big green emerald eye as round as ever as she stared up at him- The other one was just a prosthetic eye- nothing special.
752(Valeriya Smyrnoi)
753--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
754
755[08:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hehe."
756[08:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm a genius, buwahaha."
757[08:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Do you like my hair, Kitty? Val said it would be prettier if I let it down."
758[08:15] Katrin Weiner says, "I do, I just didn't want to make you say 'dawwwwwwwwww' and call me silly again by telling you how beautiful your hair looks."
759[08:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "D'awwwwwww."
760[08:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Silly."
761[08:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hehe, just kidding."
762[08:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Thanks!"
763[08:16] Katrin sticks her tongue out at Igleta. "You're welcome."
764(Katrin Weiner)
765--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
766
767[08:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Can I touch your ears?"
768[08:17] Ilonnia Wray says, "Uh. "
769[08:17] Najal would make a face at the odd smell of the smoke the short woman blew in his face, his own emerald eyes slightly red from crying but hidden under his hood. "I'm Najal Brekk, it's nice to meet you miss" he would say politely, examining the womans face as she had done to him, he noticed one of her eyes was different but said nothing about it, seemed a little rude and he was already feeling bad enough.
770(Najal Brekk)
771--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
772
773[08:18] Valeriya Smyrnoi exclaims, "Mmm.... Well- Nice to meet you as well!"
774[08:18] She'd blink once before lowering herself into a deep crouch, tucking in her dress. The woman leaned a bit to give Igleta access to one ear.
775
776"Guess so. Don't be rough."
777(Ilonnia Wray)
778--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
779
780[08:19] Katrin didn't mind being rude. "Hey Val, what happened to your eye?"
781(Katrin Weiner)
782--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
783
784[08:20] Najal Brekk asks, "Where do you live if you don't mind my asking?"
785[08:20] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Oh."
786[08:20] Najal Brekk says, "Oh.."
787[08:20] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Goirou pulled it out."
788[08:20] Najal Brekk says, "OH."
789[08:20] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Then my mom killed him."
790[08:20] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "And I watched."
791[08:20] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "-Giggles-"
792[08:20] Katrin Weiner says, "Ah that sounds like a fun time."
793[08:20] Najal Brekk says, "Who's your mom?..."
794[08:20] Valeriya Smyrnoi asks, "Any more questions?"
795[08:20] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Oh-"
796[08:20] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Alexandrea."
797[08:20] Katrin shakes her head.
798(Katrin Weiner)
799--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
800
801[08:20] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "She guards the Glade these days."
802[08:20] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
803[08:21] Najal would suddenly look excited. "She wouldn't happen to be the Glade protector would she? Cause if so I met her! She was a really nice lady and helped me get back to town when I got lost in the forest!" he would state happily, his mood starting to lighten at the light hearted chatter.
804(Najal Brekk)
805--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
806
807[08:21] What a marvelous and fantastic time this was! Not one, but two Ookami had allowed her to touch their ears in such a very short amount of time! Igleta was becoming a successful barterer in these things, but she didn't really have a way to explain how it was becoming successful. Those usual steel eyes that she possessed had become giant diamonds and the girl slowly raised up her right hand from off-screen and brought it from the side, touching the ear with a simple poke. "Boop." The youth would make the sound as it touched the ear.
808
809"Oh my gosh it's fluffy. I love these ears, I wish I had some!" She'd say to herself in a low squealing tone. Another poke is given before she lowers her hand off-screen once again and smiles at Illonia. "Thank you! I always enjoy seeing how they feel and stuff, they're super cool. My name is Igleta and we're super friends now, okay? Okay, I'm glad you accept."
810(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
811--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
812
813[08:21] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "-Nod-"
814[08:21] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "She Guards the Glade- Yes."
815[08:22] Najal Brekk says, "When you see her next, please thank her again for me. I even promised to go back and visit with treats."
816[08:23] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Ill let her know the next time I see her..."
817[08:23] Najal Brekk says, "Thank you~"
818[08:24] Najal would give a toothy grin, his sharp teeth flashing in the daylight.
819(Najal Brekk)
820--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
821
822[08:24] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "-Nod-"
823[08:24] Katrin Weiner asks, "Najal, fancy a spar?"
824[08:25] Najal Brekk says, "I'm not really in the mood for anymore fighting today and I still have to figure out how to apologize to Yuki for bein a jerk..."
825[08:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<....Yuki......Punk.>"
826[08:25] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I might have it in me to fight you..."
827[08:25] Katrin Weiner says, "Kick him in the shin and call him a chicken."
828[08:25] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Just dont hit me in the face."
829[08:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "W-Wait on me guys, that's not cool!"
830[08:25] Katrin Weiner says, "Alrighty, follow me to the dojo Val."
831[08:25] Najal Brekk exclaims, "I wanna watch too!"
832[08:25] Kids these days were so innocent. Precious. This was one of many times someone younger asked to touch an ear. Back then, Ilonnia would have protested, advocating for Ookami rights; she allowed it to happen without much fuss. Being a mother tended to dull those qualms, considering how much her own brood yanked at them. The prodded ear flicked every time it was disturbed.
833
834"Super friends? Sure. That's fine."
835(Ilonnia Wray)
836--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
837
838[08:25] Katrin Weiner exclaims, "I'm going to wait for you of course butthead!"
839[08:25] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Im not much of a fighter."
840[08:26] Katrin Weiner says, "Me either, I'm just a maid."
841[08:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<Oh my gosh it did that super cool awesome amazing flick thingie.>"
842[08:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Will you come too?"
843[08:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Please?"
844[08:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Do it....
845[08:26] Ilonnia Wray says, "Name's Ilonnia. Master craftswoman-- Nah. I need to work, sadly. "
846[08:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang."
847[08:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Well, it was nice to meet Ilonnia, I hope we can hang out soon."
848[08:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Byeeeeeeeeee."
849[08:27] Ilonnia Wray says, "See ya, kiddo. "
850[08:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Better be careful, Kitty is a super mage!"
851[08:28] Najal Brekk exclaims, "This is gonna be so cool!"
852[08:32] Valeriya lets out a long breath as she pulls her pipe out of her mouth- walking it over and placing it in Igleta's hand. "Hold this dear!" She would say calmly before skipping out back into the arena with a slight giggle.
853
854The 4'4 woman hefts the obsidian mace off her back- and as it slams into the wooden floor, causing it to shatter- it would become quite clear that despite the girls demeanor, she was no pushover.
855
856This little flower had thorns.
857(Valeriya Smyrnoi)
858--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
859
860[08:33] Igleta takes hold of the drug pipe and stares at it for a moment before returning her attention to the incoming battle.
861(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
862--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
863
864[08:33] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Okie."
865[08:34] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, she fights like Sei."
866[08:35] Katrin Weiner says, "I'm taking it easy on you.."
867[08:35] Najal Brekk says, "I've never seen a person split into two people before, that's soooo cool."
868[08:35] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "It's Illusion magic. It's so crazy, right?"
869[08:35] Katrin Weiner says, "I'm the personal maid of Lady Astaria."
870[08:35] Najal Brekk says, "I wish I could do that..."
871[08:35] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<She keeps saying that but she told me.....hmmm.>"
872[08:36] Katrin Weiner says, "I really am a maid.. have been since I was roughly six. Though one day I won't be anymore."
873[08:36] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You can do the plasma stuff though, that's scary."
874[08:36] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hi, Koume."
875[08:36] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Come sit down."
876[08:36] Koume Bavmor says, "Hm? Oh, hey. Sure."
877[08:36] Najal Brekk says, "I really don't know if I can make it do that again..."
878[08:37] Najal Brekk says, "And I kinda dont want too if it's gonna hurt my friends..."
879[08:37] Najal would look sad again.
880(Najal Brekk)
881--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
882
883[08:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "What have you been up to, Koume? You weren't chatting with me the last few times I came by."
884[08:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Heeey, Najal, you just gotta control it, you know."
885[08:37] Katrin Weiner says, "See? Just a maid."
886[08:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Dang. They both fight so good!"
887[08:37] Katrin Weiner says, "but now.. lets see how yo do."
888[08:37] Koume Bavmor says, "Mu and I have been a little busy. I'm sure you've spoken to him, though. He's a little more social than me."
889[08:37] Najal Brekk asks, "Whooooooa... she can glow?"
890[08:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mu, the legend."
891[08:37] Koume Bavmor asks, "...The legend?"
892[08:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yeah, you don't remember when I fought him? Watch, Mu is Legendary."
893[08:38] Koume Bavmor says, "The boy's an idiot. Even I can beat him."
894[08:38] Koume Bavmor says, "And I'm me."
895[08:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Aren't you like, a secret ultra mage Koume?"
896[08:38] Koume Bavmor says, "N-no."
897[08:38] As Katrin pulled out her staff, cosmic brilliance seemed to come from her, along with that, the creeping feeling as if you were being forgotten by all the things you love began to wash over the people in the room, they'd be able to resist, but each of them would notice it.
898
899Katrin smiled and nodded her head towards Val.
900
901"Ready when you are miss."
902(Katrin Weiner)
903--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
904
905[08:38] Najal Brekk says, "Ultra mage? Sounds strong"
906[08:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I think you are."
907[08:39] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You were the only person that didn't join in the spars. Yeeeep, I noticed, silly."
908[08:40] Katrin Weiner says, "<if Koume is an ultra mage.. and I'm just a super mage by Igleta's standards.. guess I'll have to show her who's stronger.>"
909[08:40] Koume screwed her mouth into a lopsided frown, and set her ivory staff across her lap
910
911"Promise, I'm not that great of a fighter. I focus on other stuff."
912(Koume Bavmor)
913--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
914
915[08:40] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Nope."
916[08:40] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Ultra mage."
917[08:40] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "I knooow your secret now Koume, you proved it!"
918[08:41] Koume Bavmor says, "People are going to get the wrong idea."
919[08:41] Najal Brekk says, "I can't believe she can beat up Mu the legend..."
920[08:41] Igleta smiles at Koume.
921(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
922--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
923
924[08:41] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Hehe, just like you have the wrong idea of Mu!"
925[08:41] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "He's Legendary, just watch."
926[08:42] Katrin Weiner says, "Mu is surprisingly weak.."
927[08:42] Koume Bavmor asks, "He's a kid. Aren't you old?"
928[08:42] Katrin Weiner says, "I'm fifteen.."
929[08:42] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You're a super mage, Kitty."
930[08:42] Koume Bavmor says, "Old."
931[08:42] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "H-Hey, Kitty isn't old."
932[08:43] Najal Brekk says, "Das mean."
933[08:43] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Very mean, ruuude."
934[08:43] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Oh, how old are you Koume?"
935[08:43] Koume Bavmor says, "Anyway, I hope you were teasing. I've been attacked in the woods. Twice! I don't need a reputation that invites more of that."
936[08:43] Koume Bavmor says, "Fourteen."
937[08:43] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "You got attacked in the wood, twice!?"
938[08:43] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, they can do so much cool stuff....."
939[08:44] Najal Brekk exclaims, "What was the shiny big ball thingy? It looked so cool!"
940[08:45] Koume pulled her legs up under her on the bench, shrugging a shoulder at Igleta's question. She didn't... really mean to bring that up.
941
942"Uh, yes. Once by a man with wolves at his back, and another by what I think was a vampire. I'm not sure, haven't seen one before."
943(Koume Bavmor)
944--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
945
946[08:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Dang, that sounds crazy. Sounds like you beat them up though. Did you beat them up?"
947[08:46] Koume Bavmor says, "I was able to defeat the bandit with wolves, and escaped the vampire."
948[08:46] As the final round of the sparring began, it was quite clear that in the first two, Katrin had been holding back. In the last though, she appeared to actually try against Val, perhaps because she wanted to show the much older woman just how strong the Rosenkreuz household was.
949
950Numerous energy, gravity, and cosmic spells quickly overwhelmed Valeriya, and each time Val attempted to catch Katrin with the mace, she seemed to be able to counter it, knocking the woman away, stunning her, slowing her down, or just getting out of the way of the wild swings, in the end... Katrin won.
951
952"That was fun Val,you did pretty well."
953
954The last bit of the fight was Katrin dashing across the field in a blur of starlight as she drove a shoulder into Val's chest, knocking her to the ground.
955
956The cosmic energy faded and Kat landed on the ground to hold a hand out to Val after putting her staff away.
957
958"Good job Val."
959(Katrin Weiner)
960--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
961
962[08:47] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, Koume is cool."
963[08:47] Koume Bavmor says, "She really isn't."
964[08:47] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Psssssshhhhh."
965[08:47] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You beat up a bandit."
966[08:47] Koume Bavmor says, "He probably played with dogs all day."
967[08:48] Igleta chuckles rather loudly.
968(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
969--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
970
971[08:48] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You're silly."
972[08:49] Najal Brekk exclaims, "I think imma turn in for the night guys, it was awesome meeting everybody! Please be safe!"
973[08:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Be safe, Najal, and sleep well."
974[08:49] Valeriya, even being dropped to the ground with- what she could assume was space- the girl just lay there for a moment. Hyperventilating, nearly growling at Katrin, until she slowly began counting down from 10.
975
976"TEN! NINE! EIGHT! Seven! Six! Five. Four... Three... Two... and One..." The woman let out a long breath and giggled slightly as the red that seemed to be creeping around her energy aura dissipated, leaving her with nothing but a smile on her face, despite the rather embarrassing defeat.
977
978"Thank you! You did really well!"
979(Valeriya Smyrnoi)
980--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
981
982[08:49] Koume Bavmor says, "Goodbye. Uh, Koume, if you didn't hear. Feel free to say hello if you see me around."
983[08:50] Najal Brekk says, "I'm Najal! I definetly will, goodnight everyone."
984[08:51] Najal would walk out of the Dojo, feeling a lot better.
985(Najal Brekk)
986--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
987
988[08:51] Koume raked lily white fingers through her mane of golden curls, whipping out the tresses with a flick of her wrist. She did her best to split her attention between Igleta and the spar, the laser lightshow of a spectacle very distracting.
989
990"Well, there's the bandit stuff. Mu and I built a house in town, too. It was a little annoying getting a permit, but, otherwise things went off without a hitch."
991(Koume Bavmor)
992--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
993
994[08:51] Katrin Weiner says, "Thank you, on to the next opponent."
995[08:52] Katrin Weiner says, "Come on Koume the Ultra mage. I want to see how strong you are."
996[08:52] Koume Bavmor says, "No thank you."
997[08:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Dang, why you want to spar Koume?"
998[08:52] Katrin Weiner says, "Ah, after talk about how you fought bandits and escaped a vampire, I didn't think you'd be a chicken."
999[08:53] Koume furrowed her brow and puffed out her cheeks. The goading only made her more stubborn, and that was obvious when she crossed her arms.
1000
1001"No."
1002(Koume Bavmor)
1003--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1004
1005[08:54] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "D'awwwww! That's so cute Koume."
1006[08:54] Koume Bavmor asks, "Huh? Um, thank you?"
1007[08:54] The blonde just kind of looked over herself. Had she done something cute? Oblivious magi is oblivious.
1008(Koume Bavmor)
1009--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1010
1011[08:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hehe."
1012[08:58] Valeriya walks over to Igleta, grabbing her pipe and placing it back in her mouth lighting it back up with the snap of a finger. The woman then quietly sits down, whistling a tune as smoke flowed from her lips, alongside the music.
1013(Valeriya Smyrnoi)
1014--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1015
1016[08:58] Igleta blinks as Valeriya takes the pipe and sits elsewhere.
1017(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1018--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1019
1020[08:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hey, come sit with me."
1021[09:00] Katrin walked over to Koume, she smiled at her.
1022
1023"Please Koume? I spend my time traveling around and I've already bumped into Lucien Voss once.. he let me go, but since I was at Dawn's attack on them,I don't think he'll do it again.. I just want to train as much as I can so that I can keep Igleta safe.
1024
1025If you've fought them and got away safely, then I just want you to help me learn how, could you please spar with me and let me know if I would be able to keep Igleta safe?"
1026(Katrin Weiner)
1027--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1028
1029[09:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hmmm."
1030[09:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<She ignored my question. What is Kitty doing?>"
1031[09:01] Katrin didn't ignore Igleta's question.. her words should have answered that.
1032(Katrin Weiner)
1033--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1034
1035[09:01] Igleta doesn't trust nothing from nobody.
1036(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1037--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1038
1039[09:02] Valeriya is just sitting here whistling and smoking, staring off in the distance like an airhead.
1040(Valeriya Smyrnoi)
1041--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1042
1043[09:02] Katrin isn't trusted by her own girlfriend even though she kills people for her.. how sad.
1044(Katrin Weiner)
1045--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1046
1047[09:08] That reasoning was a little better, at least. The novice magi slowly uncrossed her arms, golden gaze shifting away for a moment. She really didn't enjoy fighting. She would rather bury her nose in books and mix herbs, practice her craft in quiet solitude, or with a few friends nearby.
1048
1049"Um, look. I only ran from them. I'm not very good at combat. But if you think it would help you, I don't mind sparring."
1050
1051Koume chewed her bottom lip, eyes falling to her staff.
1052
1053"Also try not to hurt me too bad. I'm delicate."
1054(Koume Bavmor)
1055--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1056
1057[09:09] Katrin Weiner says, "Thank you Koume, and I'm pretty sure you'll have to try not to hurt me too bad.. I'm fragile.."
1058[09:09] Koume Bavmor says, "I have eyes, woman. I saw what you just did."
1059[09:09] Katrin Weiner says, "Did not.."
1060[09:10] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I am evidently a flower girl now..."
1061[09:11] Unlike with Val, Katrin didn't seem to plan on holding back. Even if she was quickly able to overwhelm Koume, she had enough control over her magic so that the slightly younger CHILD would not get hurt.
1062(Katrin Weiner)
1063--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1064
1065[09:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Koume is adorable."
1066[09:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "And apparently delicate."
1067[09:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Wait, why are you a flowery girl?"
1068[09:11] Katrin sighs as she hears Igleta's words..
1069(Katrin Weiner)
1070--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1071
1072[09:12] Koume awkwardly gripped her staff at her side, then floated off the ground, eyes suddenly sparkling with an otherworldly glint to them. She cast her gaze over to Igleta.
1073
1074"Hopefully this puts your 'ultra' mage thing to rest. I don't want a reputation I can't back up."
1075(Koume Bavmor)
1076--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1077
1078[09:12] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "DONT- Worry about it."
1079[09:12] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I was thinking out loud."
1080[09:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Nope. Worrying about it."
1081[09:12] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Well your little maid girlfriend beat me- and I thought I was somewhat strong, but if shes just a maid, that makes me a dainty little flower girl."
1082[09:12] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "-Sigh-"
1083[09:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Kitty is a super mage."
1084[09:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You're crazy strong Valeriya."
1085[09:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Dang, what is all that magic?"
1086[09:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "And why is Koume so fast?"
1087[09:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Like, I barely see her."
1088[09:14] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Iunno"
1089[09:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Val, say it with me."
1090[09:15] Koume Bavmor says, "Stop. It."
1091[09:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Valeriya is very strong."
1092[09:16] Valeriya Smyrnoi asks, "What?"
1093[09:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Say that you're strong, silly."
1094[09:16] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "You're strong."
1095[09:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "N-No."
1096[09:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "You're messing with me!"
1097[09:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Say, Valeriya is strong."
1098[09:17] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I dont want to."
1099[09:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Why not?"
1100[09:18] Katrin did seem to actually struggle a bit against Koume. Though ultimately, Katrin's strength seemed to prove more potent than Koume's.
1101
1102As the two fought with their gravity magics, Katrin weaved in numerous cosmic attacks and energy attacks, however most of them seemed to miss... Koume was quick and that was always a weakness of Katrin's.
1103
1104Still, Katrin managed to land a few powerful blows against Koume utilizing her cosmic magic to do the chasing for her and won the match with a large cosmic meteor catching Koume as the gravity stopped her movement.
1105
1106At the same time though, Koume seemed to knock Katrin to the ground with a final attack.
1107
1108Since it was a three round match, even though Katrin was knocked to the ground, where Koume had been knocked down first, that left Katrin being the victor in the final round.
1109
1110She got back to her feet and walked over to Koume.
1111
1112"You did very well Koume, you're a bit stronger than the rest of the kids in Huangzhou, so if you keep studying I'm sure you will become an amazing magi.
1113
1114What do you think of me? Do you think I'd be able to keep Igleta safe from any vampires?"
1115
1116A hand was offered to Koume to help her to her feet as Katrin smiled.
1117(Katrin Weiner)
1118--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1119
1120[09:18] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Because."
1121[09:23] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Come on, tell me, you're my sister."
1122[09:26] Koume's usual method of defending herself seemed to be working out wonderfully. A bubble of transparent, monochromatic energy surrounded the duo as they began their bout, slowing the woman's attacks to a crawl. This, in conjunction with a felicitous economy of movement and a healthy application of future sight, all mixed together to allow the battling blonde magi to survive much longer than she should have.
1123
1124Of course, it only took one well placed shot.
1125
1126Once Katrin was done showing off, Koume lay spread eagle against the mat, just kind of frowning at the ceiling. Her everything hurt.
1127
1128When Katrin walked up to help her out, she just kind of let out a raspberry and sat up on her own, then entered a meditative, cross-legged position, staff set across her lap. She localized a time reversal effect from the neck down, simply reversing the damage Katrin had done to her in about the same amount of time it took to inflict it.
1129
1130Once she was done. Koume stood up and shook her head at the maid.
1131
1132"Honestly? No. If you can't even beat me without stumbling, you'll need some help, at least. The vampire I encountered would have eaten me alive. You too, by the looks of it."
1133(Koume Bavmor)
1134--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1135
1136[09:26] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I just dont like bragging about myself."
1137[09:26] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Im honestly not that strong."
1138[09:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "But...."
1139[09:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You really are strong."
1140[09:29] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Stronger than me, by a lot."
1141[09:29] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Ehh... Im not much of a fighter."
1142[09:34] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, Val is super strong without trying."
1143[09:35] Koume called out to Igleta, still rubbing the spot on her tum where Katrin's cosmic burst hit home, even though the damage had been totally reversed.
1144
1145"We done with the 'Ultra Mage' thing now?"
1146(Koume Bavmor)
1147--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1148
1149[09:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "-"
1150[09:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "F-Fine....."
1151[09:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "But you really are an Ultra mage."
1152[09:38] Koume Bavmor says, "I lost. "
1153[09:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "So?"
1154[09:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Even Sei loses, and he's the best ever."
1155[09:39] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Doesn't make you any less than you are."
1156[09:40] Koume Bavmor says, "Even so, I'd rather just be the girl who studies and brews the occasional potion. Don't @me."
1157[09:41] Koume Bavmor says, "Even so, I'm not interested in this kind of thing. If I fight, it's because I'm protecting myself or a friend. So please don't go around spouting that to people."
1158[09:41] Koume Bavmor says, "Katrin seems to enjoy it, do it to her."
1159[09:41] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Fiiiiine. If that's what you want, I won't say it around people."
1160[09:41] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Still gonna say it to you, though."
1161[09:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: If I said I love you would you marry me?
1162[09:46] Katrin Weiner says, "I see, well Thank you for sparring with me Koume, perhaps together we'd be able to beat one of those blood suckers."
1163[09:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Hey, what's the Glade like, to live there I mean?"
1164[09:47] Katrin Weiner says, "And yes, sometimes Sei does lose, he's even lost a round to me once."
1165[09:47] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, Kitty the super mage strikes ag-"
1166[09:47] Koume Bavmor says, "Probably. "
1167[09:47] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "When did you fight Sei?"
1168[09:47] Koume Bavmor says, "I'm better when it comes backing people up."
1169[09:47] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Oh..."
1170[09:47] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "The glade is nice."
1171[09:47] Katrin Weiner says, "I havn't gotten to try that yet, you're quick though so you'd be a good help to anyone."
1172[09:47] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Lots of trees... Really pretty."
1173[09:47] Katrin Weiner says, "Sei and I spar quite often."
1174[09:47] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Dang, I miss all those cool spars. Is it true that Mother stays there a lot?"
1175[09:47] Katrin Weiner says, "You've seen me spar with him a few times Letty."
1176[09:48] Koume Bavmor asks, "Sei. That's the lieutenant that took Ayano in for awhile, right?"
1177[09:48] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I don't know Ayano, but yeah he's the lieutenant."
1178[09:49] Koume Bavmor says, "Girl with black hair, carries a sword. She's training with him, i think. "
1179[09:49] Valeriya Smyrnoi asks, "Oh- Mother Adsila?"
1180[09:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Really?"
1181[09:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "And yeah."
1182[09:49] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Yah shes there alot."
1183[09:49] Koume Bavmor says, "I don't mean to gossip, but yes."
1184[09:50] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "He's always training other people."
1185[09:50] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm going to beat him up again."
1186[09:50] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I should visit the Glade soon then, I want to see her again."
1187[09:53] Now that she'd been beat up, there wasn't much reason for Koume to stay. At least in her mind. She awkwardly pulled her legs up under her on the bench, then let them fall again, fidgeting.
1188
1189I should go.
1190
1191Without a word, the girl sipped off her seat and started off to leave.
1192(Koume Bavmor)
1193--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1194
1195[09:53] Katrin Weiner says, "I suppose I should go outside."
1196[09:54] Katrin Weiner says, "If you two wanat to come you can, I wanna enjoy the air though."
1197[09:55] Katrin Weiner whispers: by the way honey, I told you I wouldn't keep things from you, I did speak with Sei about you saying he wants to date you, and he assured me that he has no interest in dating you.. To him you're a sister.
1198[09:55] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "Im probably going to sleep soon..."
1199[09:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Oh!"
1200[09:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Should we head back or stay here tonight?"
1201[09:56] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "I was just going to sleep here."
1202[09:56] Valeriya Smyrnoi says, "This bench is nice."
1203[09:56] Katrin Weiner says, "I gotta see if lady Astaria is still here."
1204[09:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Sleep well, Val!"
1205[09:58] Katrin Weiner says, "Greeting lady Astaria, when you are free,I do need to speak with you in private.. sort of urgent."
1206[09:58] Aurora Averin says, "Bel... cant say that name rings any of those"
1207[09:58] Azira says, "Hello Katrin, Igleta."
1208[09:58] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Be right with you, Kat."
1209[09:58] Astaria Rosenkreuz exclaims, "Ah!"
1210[09:58] Katrin Weiner asks, "Good evening missAzira. Igleta, would you like to spend some time with Azira while Ispeak with lady Astaria?"
1211[09:58] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Hello! Do you want a warm meal?"
1212[09:59] Aurora Averin exclaims, "Hello! My name is Aurora Averin and it's nice to meet you!"
1213[09:59] Katrin Weiner says, "It's nice to meet you as well Aurora Averin, I am Katrin Weiner."
1214[09:59] Koume Bavmor says, "Um... sure? I was just heading home."
1215[10:00] Aurora Averin exclaims, "Wow, you look so pretty in that dress! I love it!"
1216[10:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Huh."
1217[10:01] Katrin Weiner says, "Thank you, it's my work outfit, the nice woman you were speaking with provides me with them as I am her personal maid."
1218[10:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hiiiiiii."
1219[10:01] Astaria nods, reaching for the pouch hanging from her leather belt. From within, she gets a carefully wrapped meal-- seems to be sweet, if the smell is any indication. The monochromatically pale woman hands it to the child with a genuinely warm and kind smile flourishing across her lips.
1220
1221"Have a nice day, kid. Keep working hard!"
1222
1223The strange woman prepared to turn around and walk back towards the square once the meal was given.
1224(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
1225--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1226
1227[10:02] Aurora Averin asks, "Igleta was it? Those marks are so cuuuute! were you born with them?"
1228[10:02] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Oh, you know my name?"
1229[10:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Heeeey, how do you name pretty bow person?"
1230[10:03] Wei pats Auroras shoulder. "Hello there. Got a new recruit for the medical department, It hink, if they havne't found you yet anyway."
1231(Wei Djao)
1232--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1233
1234[10:03] Koume glanced down at the pie offered. She was going to have fish tonight, but desert never hurt. Mu would enjoy it too. The young blonde flashed the friendly stranger a big, lopsided grin, snaggletooth on display as she took the offered pie.
1235
1236"Thank you, but... I'm not.. Never mind. Thank you."
1237(Koume Bavmor)
1238--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1239
1240[10:04] Aurora Averin exclaims, "Well, Katrin sayed your name when she adressed you didnt she? Also your hair is realy nice!"
1241[10:04] Astaria waves enthusiastically to the child as she walks back to the square. Strange woman.
1242(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
1243--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1244
1245[10:04] Aurora Averin exclaims, "Ah, Wei! Nice to see you! A new medical recruit? That's nice!"
1246[10:04] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I'm ready now, Kat."
1247[10:04] Azira asks, "Another person joining healers?"
1248[10:07] Azira whispers something.
1249[10:07] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh, I was distracted."
1250[10:07] Aurora Averin asks, "Yeh, though we dont need to wisper do we?"
1251[10:07] Azira says, "I dunno."
1252[10:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Where did Kitty go?"
1253[10:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hi Azira."
1254[10:10] Aurora Averin says, "She went to have a talk with Astaria"
1255[10:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mmmm."
1256[10:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Thaaaaaanks."
1257[10:10] Aurora Averin asks, "So what do you like to do Igleta?"
1258[10:10] Igleta prepared to take off running and skids to a halt as she is spoken to again.
1259(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1260--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1261
1262[10:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh."
1263[10:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "I like to do a lot of things!"
1264[10:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I like to make jokes, I like to change clothes and make new outfits, I ummmmm liked to use magic when it was working, and uhhhhh I like to hang out, I like to party, I like to cook thanks to Azira, and uhhhh I don't know."
1265[10:12] Aurora Averin asks, "Partys are fun! Wait, what do you meen when your magic was working?"
1266[10:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh, it just stopped working a while ago. Whenever I try to use magic my whole body hurts and nothing happens."
1267[10:13] Aurora Averin says, "Huh... That sounds bad... Wei, do we have any books on the magical network? I'd like to read up on it, see if I can do anyting for her."
1268[10:14] Azira asks, "I am unsure...but...Igleta were you collared or cursed recently?"
1269[10:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Huh? Oh, no. B-But ummmm you don't have to worry about it! I'm sure it'll come back soon. Kitty says it does that for a while or something."
1270[10:16] Azira says, "I never had any issue like this in my life."
1271[10:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh."
1272[10:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "You think it won't just come back?"
1273[10:16] Azira asks, "When did it began to happen?"
1274[10:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh, after I let someone take my mana. It hurt a whole bunch."
1275[10:16] Azira asks, "Hold on...wh!?"
1276[10:16] Azira asks, "Why did you let someone take your mana!?"
1277[10:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "They said it would help."
1278[10:17] Aurora Averin asks, "Hm... Regardless of weither the magic comes back on its own or not I still want to learn how to fix it so one doent have to happne again. Who did you let take your mana? And how is that done exactly?"
1279[10:17] Wei Djao asks, "MMh?"
1280[10:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "O-Oh...Are you going to be mad at them?"
1281[10:17] Wei Djao says, "I dunno about mana gifting, stealing, or what-have-you, but having a part of your soul die is pretty bad."
1282[10:18] Wei Djao says, "If it wasn't that, it probably wont do you any harm."
1283[10:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, I hope a part of my soul didn't die."
1284[10:18] Wei Djao says, "Something temporary, that is."
1285[10:18] Aurora sniffs the air, and turns to the left
1286(Aurora Averin)
1287--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1288
1289[10:18] Wei Djao says, "Trust me kid, you'd know if a part of your soul die. Coming from someone who- "
1290[10:18] Erbon Lunaflare says, "Hey Aurora"
1291[10:18] Wei Djao says, "Heya Satsuki."
1292[10:18] Aurora Averin exclaims, "ERBON!"
1293[10:19] Wei Djao asks, "Hmm? That your guy Aurora?"
1294[10:19] Satsuki Shimasu says, "Hello hello, Commander."
1295[10:19] Azira says, "Lone fact that someone does such thing is worrysome..."
1296[10:19] Azira says, "Satsuki, hello."
1297[10:19] Igleta slowly retreats during the distractions!
1298(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1299--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1300
1301[10:19] Azira says, "..."
1302[10:19] Wei Djao says, "Yea, Azira. Tragedy sorta doesn't have remorse. She does that sort of thing willy nilly, and aparently doesn't care if she leaves her victim alive."
1303[10:19] Wei pointedly looks at her in a very knowing wya.
1304(Wei Djao)
1305--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1306
1307[10:19] Satsuki Shimasu says, "Or is this humor. I do not understand that. Please do tell me, because I have kept her here if she is needed."
1308[10:20] Satsuki STARES. BLANKLY.
1309(Satsuki Shimasu)
1310--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1311
1312[10:20] Aurora runs over and hugs Erbon like a balistic missile
1313(Aurora Averin)
1314--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1315
1316[10:20] Satsuki Shimasu says, "..."
1317[10:20] Igleta was busted by a Satsuki.
1318(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1319--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1320
1321[10:20] Wei Djao asks, "What Satsuki?"
1322[10:21] Satsuki Shimasu asks, "This girl was slipping away. It was suspicious. Did someone need her?"
1323[10:21] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang."
1324[10:21] Wei Djao says, "Not really."
1325[10:21] Erbon Readies himself for the impending impact hug
1326(Erbon Lunaflare)
1327--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1328
1329[10:21] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yeah."
1330[10:21] Wei Djao says, "Although, I was wonderring, Satsuki."
1331[10:21] Wei Djao asks, "Do you know anything about healing the soul.. literally?"
1332[10:21] Azira says, "Igleta had her mana taken."
1333[10:21] Satsuki stares at Igleta, knowing damn well she was up to something, but...
1334(Satsuki Shimasu)
1335--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1336
1337[10:22] Wei goes over and leans up against the wall of the fort.
1338(Wei Djao)
1339--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1340
1341[10:22] Igleta stares back at Satsuki. The contest had begun.
1342(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1343--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1344
1345[10:22] Azira closes her eyes for a change
1346(Azira)
1347--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1348
1349[10:22] Aurora Averin exclaims, "Igleta, if you have any trubbles please come see me, I'm a trained, self apointed healer!"
1350[10:22] Satsuki Shimasu says, "...Ah. The soul. I have... never done something like that. I am studying how to connect to another person's mana circuits. I know how to purify things, at least temporarily."
1351[10:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "I will!"
1352[10:22] Satsuki Shimasu says, "...But the soul? That is a mite bit... /divine/, hm? Out of reach for... most people."
1353[10:22] Wei Djao says, "Mmh. Fair point."
1354[10:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "....But first, I gotta beat her at the staring contest."
1355[10:22] Azira says, "See me as well...if anything."
1356[10:22] Satsuki has yet to blink. This contest will never end.
1357(Satsuki Shimasu)
1358--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1359
1360[10:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yes ma'am."
1361[10:22] Wei Djao asks, "Think one could find a willing spirit capable of doing such in the spirit realm?"
1362[10:22] Igleta starts to struggle, her eyes begin to burn.
1363(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1364--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1365
1366[10:23] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "D-Dang......"
1367[10:23] Azira says, "Also Satsuki, Aurora, remember that I can help around with healing as well"
1368[10:23] Wei Djao says, "I feel.. as though I've encounterred the spirit realm already, just through dreams. Awoke feeling pains from within them that shouldn't have been there, to find bruising."
1369[10:23] Satsuki Shimasu says, "I have spoken directly to Jiuweihu - in a sense - but I would not be able to make that connection again."
1370[10:23] Satsuki Shimasu says, "There was another spirit the Illuminated communed with in the past, but-"
1371[10:23] Wei Djao says, "Y'don't get flung into a stone wall in a dream and wake up with the entirety of your upper back bruised out of nowhere."
1372[10:24] Satsuki STILL KEEPS HER GAZE LOCKED ONTO IGLETA.
1373(Satsuki Shimasu)
1374--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1375
1376[10:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."
1377[10:24] Igleta blinks.
1378(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1379--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1380
1381[10:24] Satsuki Shimasu says, "-A phoenix. Vhing-Zhuhen. It is a long-shot, but..."
1382[10:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang. You cheated."
1383[10:24] Aurora Averin exclaims, "So how have you been Erbon? I've not seen around! Where did you go? Are you allright? Do you need anyting? Can I have yo- I'm so happy to see you!"
1384[10:25] Satsuki blinks only a quarter-second afterward, like she knew Igleta was about to blink and her victory was already secured. World's pettiest application of a divine blessing.
1385(Satsuki Shimasu)
1386--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1387
1388[10:25] Azira asks, "Phoenix? Anything I can help along the lines, Satsuki?"
1389[10:25] Erbon Lunaflare says, "Uhmm, i've been fine"
1390[10:25] Satsuki Shimasu says, "--It is a long-shot, but... phoenixes - spirits of rebirth - hm..."
1391[10:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Teach me your secret anti-blink magic."
1392[10:25] Satsuki Shimasu says, "Occasional staring matches with the sun as a child."
1393[10:26] Satsuki ...is hopefully joking.
1394(Satsuki Shimasu)
1395--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1396
1397[10:26] Aurora Averin asks, "How will you take advantage of the magic if your magic isnt working?"
1398[10:26] Satsuki Shimasu says, "I wished to gaze upon my goddess as much as possible, you see."
1399[10:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "What in the what."
1400[10:26] Azira says, "I stare at my deity all the time."
1401[10:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Whaaaaa?"
1402[10:27] Satsuki nods sagely, despite having said nothing sagely whatsoever.
1403(Satsuki Shimasu)
1404--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1405
1406[10:27] Azira leans against Satsuki
1407(Azira)
1408--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1409
1410[10:28] Wei looks to Satsuki before looking up to her ears for a moment before down to her.
1411(Wei Djao)
1412--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1413
1414[10:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You guys are craaaaazy."
1415[10:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "How do you stare at the sun, then gods and stuff?"
1416[10:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Isn't that, like, make believe?"
1417[10:28] Aurora Averin exclaims, "With your eyes closed!"
1418[10:28] Azira says, "My deity is a lord of fire, flames are his domain and extension."
1419[10:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang..... That's a good point."
1420[10:33] Aurora Averin asks, "Any news from the Glade Erbon?"
1421[10:33] Erbon Lunaflare says, "Not much"
1422[10:33] Erbon Lunaflare whispers something.
1423[10:34] "As I was saying - there is a phoenix that the Illuminated communicated with, the last time there was a large Illuminated presence on this continent. The previous Chancellor, one of the former Lord Regents, a Luminate, and some others traveled deep into the spirit world and aided a phoenix - who in turned blessed the Luminate for her work."
1424
1425SHe glanced sidelong at Wei, shaking her head a bit miserably. "...That was done atop the highest point in Agartha, where... the vampires live now. Moriya and I made the journey recently - I would not recommend doing so again. But..." she trailed off. Satsuki, in all her wisdom and also all her Wisdom, didn't quite know the answer yet. Jiuweihu's guidance was... not always completely specific. Interpreting it was difficult, at times.
1426
1427"But if anything can repair a soul, it is a spirit of rebirth - at least that is what I would believe."
1428
1429Her gaze, unblinking once more, landed on Igleta. She stared with that piercing gaze of hers, saying nothing and also giving nothing away via her expression. She was a blank slate.
1430
1431"...Make-believe. No, they do exist, child, and they are still active in the world - and I have met one, personally."
1432
1433Her eyes glowed a slight, supernatural green for just a moment as she neared the end of her sentence. An experienced magi might note that it wasn't normal magic. It was something slightly divine in nature.
1434(Satsuki Shimasu)
1435--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1436
1437[10:36] Aurora blinks, then stands for a secound, then starts trembling, her face twisting from its gentle smiling defult to a face of share unbridled rage
1438(Aurora Averin)
1439--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1440
1441[10:36] Aurora Averin exclaims, "FOX DID WHAT?!"
1442[10:36] Satsuki blinks, her gaze snapping to Aurora and Erbon - but quickly back to Igleta once she realizes she's talking about... oh- the guy literally named Fox. Never mind.
1443(Satsuki Shimasu)
1444--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1445
1446[10:37] Azira says, "Hmmm..."
1447[10:37] Erbon Lunaflare says, "Shhh, no need to speak it out loud"
1448[10:38] Erbon Lunaflare says, "more than you have"
1449[10:38] Azira whispers: Perhaps in the future I will be able to go on such pilgrimage..
1450[10:39] Aurora Averin exclaims, "How am I to keep quiet when that jackass acts friendly towards me, then steals from you?!"
1451[10:39] Erbon puts a hand on Auroras shoulder
1452(Erbon Lunaflare)
1453--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1454
1455[10:40] Erbon Lunaflare whispers something.
1456[10:42] Aurora is literaly shaking, and can't even
1457(Aurora Averin)
1458--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1459
1460[10:42] Igleta would raise an eyebrow when the woman started talking about the Phoenix kind and that the deities were real and actually did things around the world. A slight laugh escapes her as she treats like a trick towards her, but then when the woman says something about meeting one she raises the other eyebrow. She opened her mouth to speak but before she could the woman's eyes would glow a weird shade of green and then change back. Regardless of what it was, it was pretty freaking cool as far as Igleta was concerned.
1461
1462"Dang." Of course, her current situation made her incapable of reading or sensing any form of magical influence. Unless it made itself blatantly obvious, it would easily slip past her detection. "I just found out Angels were real a few months ago, now all the Deities are real too? Dang." The youth was left rather speechless after this point considering that was pretty mind blowing for someone who just ignored most of the serious business that was going on and preferred to just engage in leisure activities more than anything else.
1463(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1464--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1465
1466[10:45] Aurora Averin exclaims, "We should head back there right now and talk to Mother, injustice like this cant stand!"
1467[10:45] Erbon seeing Auroras reaction is quite put off
1468(Erbon Lunaflare)
1469--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1470
1471[10:45] Azira asks, "You mean Adsila?"
1472[10:45] Erbon Lunaflare says, "Yeah, i was thinking of heading back soon, i was just gonna browse some goods"
1473[10:46] Aurora Averin says, "Well, yes Adsila is Mother"
1474[10:48] The priestess gave a small smile at Igleta's awe, and nodded. "Until relatively recently, Sheng - where many of the people here descend from - was indeed ruled by an angel that we called the Emperor," she explained. "And my goddess, Jiuweihu, is the one that created my kind- the Kitsune."
1475
1476The argument could be made that, as real as deities were, they had become apathetic and no longer directed the course of fate one way or another. Even Satsuki wondered that, for a time - but no longer. "...I spoke to Jiuweihu. Directly. I was... blessed. Directly." She glanced beside her to Wei. "...I do not know if you have heard yet. I am not entirely what I was given, either, only that it is... special."
1477
1478But just as quickly, her eyes fell back onto the girl. "Do you live in Huangzhou? I would be happy to teach you about Jiuweihu and her Light sometime. My name is Satsuki Shimasu," she said, pausing to give a deep bow. "...The Chancellor of the Illuminated - the local religion."
1479(Satsuki Shimasu)
1480--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1481
1482[10:53] Erbon Lunaflare says, "Well, i've done all i need to do here"
1483[10:53] Erbon Lunaflare says, "So if you want to head back aurora we can"
1484[10:53] Aurora Averin exclaims, "Ok, lets head home hun!"
1485[10:54] Aurora Averin exclaims, "Bye people! Have a nice day!"
1486[10:54] Satsuki Shimasu says, "Farewell."
1487[10:55] Eclipsa's jaw would drop as the woman explained the history of Sheng a bit more. If truth was told, she didn't really know anything about it besides that most people around here were from it. "Huh." She commented still being unable to figure out what to say in regards to all that she was hearing. It was some pretty heavy stuff to be getting hit with right in the face. That meant that the Dreamer was a real entity, and the idea that the thing was actually real and was a female was bizarre. The youth shook her head a bit and continued to listen to the story from Satsuki.
1488
1489"Dang, you got blessed by a deity? Does that make a demi-god? Dang, it should.... Satsuki the Demi-god." The youth stated with a short chuckle. What even was going on in the world anymore, this child didn't even know if the life she was living was a good life anymore. People were being blessed by gods, angels ruled over people, the Dreamer apparently ate angels or something since she hated them so much, and all of her followers did as well. Then it donned on the youth what Satsuki had just finished saying.
1490
1491"Wait, you're in charge of the Illuminated? I thought that was Mr. Priest ummmm Moriya guy. Dang, you're a priestess? Man, well.... Kitty left me here. I live here, yea, I had a tree that Mother made for me. Thooooough, it looks like someone chopped it down and I'm trying to cry over that. So I live, like, in the grass around here that has the most flowers cause those are super cool. I! am Igleta. I would love to learn about Jiuwei....hu.. That name is hard. Also the light, since Azira taught me how to use the Light it'd be really cool to learn some more light."
1492(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)

1495[10:57] Aurora shouts as she they are leaving
1496(Aurora Averin)

1502--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1503
1504[11:04] Satsuki was quick to shake her head - slowly, but absolutely definitively. To call her a demi-god would be downright blasphemous, and Satsuki wanted to nip that matter in the bud entirely, right from the outset. "No. I have merely been chosen by my goddess. It is a divine gift - but for humans. I am no greater or lesser than any other Kitsune."
1505
1506Even with the blessing, Satsuki couldn't help but fit in a tiny bit of subtle Kitsune supremacy into her words.
1507
1508"And... indeed, I am in charge of the Illuminated - at least in Huangzhou. I am not in contact with the main order, back in Sheng, but... on Agartha - I am more or less the leader, yes," she affirmed. "Qilin Moriya is a part of my order and has my goddess' glow as well - but not the same blessing. Still - he is not without authority. All those who glow possess some."
1509
1510As the conversation went on, it became more and more clear that Satsuki had an awful tendency to ramble - if allowed to speak and continue speaking, she would never stop. "And I will teach you of Jiuweihu sometime - soon, perhaps. And... I am sorry to hear about your tree," the Kitsune said, a bit awkwardly - like she wasn't entirely sure how to comfort people who have lost things. She was more than a little bit socially crippled, and that much was already obvious.
1511
1512"You are... welcome to stay in the shrine just east of here, if you wish - it would likely prove more comfortable than the grass, hm?"
1513(Satsuki Shimasu)
1514--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1515
1516[11:05] Azira says, "I will head to my farm... while you all chat..;."
1517[11:05] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mmmmm sure. I was just going to stay with Sei if it rained. He said I could and stuff."
1518[11:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Though, a shrine sounds super cool."
1519[11:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I bet I'll see ghosts at night."
1520[11:06] Satsuki Shimasu says, "The shrine is... cursed sometimes."
1521[11:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Cursed?"
1522[11:07] Satsuki Shimasu says, "It is inexplicable. But no - there are no ghosts there, I believe. Only me, working in my office all night."
1523[11:07] Satsuki Shimasu says, "Evil spirits do sometimes take it over, though."
1524[11:07] Satsuki Shimasu says, "They... enjoy playing tricks on us. Making it so you can't enter."
1525[11:07] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Whaaaaaa? How does that even wor-"
1526[11:07] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh."
1527[11:08] Satsuki Shimasu says, "In fact, let me see."
1528[11:08] Satsuki Shimasu says, "AaaAAAAAAAH."
1529[11:08] Wei Djao says, "Oh. . ."
1530[11:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "......Ghosts...."
1531[11:08] Satsuki Shimasu says, "No, no. It is fine. I will purify it later."
1532[11:08] Wei Djao says, "I apologize for the sudden closeness there."
1533[11:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I mean, .....cursed...."
1534[11:08] Wei bows his head at Satsuki for a moment.
1535(Wei Djao)
1536--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1537
1538[11:08] Satsuki Shimasu says, "They are harmless. Just... mischievous."
1539[11:08] Satsuki Shimasu says, "It is fine, Commander. We could not have known that the shrine is..."
1540[11:08] Satsuki Shimasu says, "Well. Like this."
1541[11:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang. That's spooky."
1542[11:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Hey, will you be here a lot, or do you travel more?"
1543[11:09] Satsuki Shimasu says, "I travel on occasion, but I spend most of my time in Huangzhou."
1544[11:09] Satsuki Shimasu says, "It is where I am needed, after all."
1545[11:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yay! Then we totally have to hang out a lot. You know so much stuff."
1546[11:10] Satsuki Shimasu says, "Thank you. I... do pride myself in knowing many things. By all means - if I am free in the square, you are fre to speak to me. I will always be glad to converse and educate."
1547[11:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Awesome! Also, can you tell Mr. Commander to stop being so quiet. He just stares at you silently....I think he likes you."
1548[11:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Hey...Astaria was here right? Do you know where I might find her?
1549[11:12] Satsuki glances behind her to Wei - eyes flashing a luminous green again for just a moment. "...I do not think so," she said, finally.
1550(Satsuki Shimasu)
1551--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1552
1553[11:13] Satsuki Shimasu whispers: Astaria? Oh- is that the Neries? I would hope that you would... not find her anywhere in t his town.
1554[11:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: O-Oh...Why do you say that?
1555[11:14] Satsuki Shimasu whispers: Neries are profane creatures. Very... persuasive. I cannot tolerate Dreamer worship in Huangzhou.
1556[11:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Oh...OH! Is the Dreamer bad?
1557[11:14] Satsuki Shimasu whispers: While I find that the Dreamer's four tenets are indeed a wonderful way to live - the Dreamer and those that worship her are, by nature, intwined with Azraelites.
1558[11:14] Satsuki Shimasu whispers: ...Dreamer worship is a gateway to Azrael worship. THAT is what I cannot allow.
1559[11:14] Igleta blinks.
1560(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1561--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1562
1563[11:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Wait...I-....Why are they intwined? I didn't know that.
1564[11:16] Satsuki Shimasu whispers: The Dreamer is, Herself, a supporter of Azrael. The Grey Church sees nothing wrong with necromancy. In Colonial Valmasia's golden age, the Grey Church was the most effective conversion organization on this continent. So many traitors - so many people lured in by the silver tongues of the Neries and made into Azraelites.
1565[11:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Dang...So I was being lied to. Azira was right.
1566[11:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I...Hmm. I shouldn't keep you busy any more though. I'm just talking about nothing."
1567[11:17] Satsuki Shimasu says, "Oh, please never feel as though you are wasting my time. It is fine."
1568[11:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<Satsuki the Demi-God.>"
1569[11:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Yes ma'am!"
1570[11:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm going to try to find Kitty. She should be around somewhere, we need to talk."
1571[11:18] Satsuki Shimasu says, "I see. Farewell."
1572[11:18] Satsuki Shimasu says, "Until we meet again."
1573[11:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Byeeeeee."
1574[11:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Or until you stare me down with doom again."
1575[11:19] Satsuki stares as Igleta departs. It is just how she does things.
1576(Satsuki Shimasu)
1577--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1578
1579[11:19] Igleta has a hole burned into the back of her head by Satsuki's bizarre staring tactics.

1583[11:20] {Item} You picked up Anti-Magic Remote. Dropped by Moriya Ukitake. .
1584[11:20] {Item} You drop Anti-Magic Remote.
1585[11:20] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Itori isn't even here....dang."
1586[11:23] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "There you are!"
1587[11:23] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Have you seen Kitty?"
1588[11:24] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "She's.. unwell."
1589[11:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Huh, what do you mean?"
1590[11:24] Astaria reaches to Igletta, ruffling the girl's hair affectionately.
1591(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
1592--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1593
1594[11:24] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "She's a little tired. She'll feel better soon, I'm sure."
1595[11:25] Igleta would have her hair ruffled. The little one would look up as her hair is ruffled and pout for a moment. She had only recently gotten her hair done! None the less she would turn her attention back to Astaria directly.
1596(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1597--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1598
1599[11:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Where did she go to sleep? Do you know?"
1600[11:26] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I'm unsure."
1601[11:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "What? Why are you unsure? She went to get you or someting. That's what everyone said."
1602[11:26] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "We spoke near the tower to the south."
1603[11:26] Ayano walks out from behind the tree.
1604(Ayano Kirigaia)
1605--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1606
1607[11:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "There's a tower south of here? I didn't even know that...Dang."
1608[11:27] Ayano Kirigaia says, "Oh, uh.."
1609[11:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "You think she might still be there?"
1610[11:27] Ayano Kirigaia says, "Hey miss Rosenkreuz. I didn't think you were still around."
1611[11:28] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Maybe."
1612[11:28] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Hello, Ayano. Are you well, dearie?"
1613[11:28] Ayano Kirigaia asks, "Indeed, are you?"
1614[11:28] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I am well, yes. Just a little concerned."
1615[11:28] Ayano Kirigaia asks, "Oh. What about if I may ask?"
1616[11:28] Ayano Kirigaia asks, "Or is this not to be spoken about?"
1617[11:29] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "My child maid's a little upset, I'm concerned about her. As well as the vampires, who have seem to be making a hunting ground near Huangzhou."
1618[11:29] Ayano Kirigaia asks, "Oo, Like the Baron?"
1619[11:29] Ayano Kirigaia says, "He's set up in a cave south east from here."
1620[11:29] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Whaaaaa?"
1621[11:30] Ayano Kirigaia says, "I met him."
1622[11:30] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Oh?"
1623[11:30] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Fascinating."
1624[11:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang. Mmmmm. Lemme go see if Kitty is by the tower. I'll be right back."
1625[11:31] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Of course.. and Igletta?"
1626[11:31] Igleta pokes the hand that hadn't been removed
1627(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1628--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1629
1630[11:31] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Huh, yes?"
1631[11:31] Satsuki Shimasu says, "...Why."
1632[11:32] Astaria wraps both of her arms around the child, hugging her tightly with a brief smile.
1633(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
1634--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1635
1636[11:32] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Remember, you always have a home with me.
1637[11:32] Igleta would be pulled into a hug and would smile. "D'awwwwww." She would utter before wrapping her arms around Astaria as well. A nod is given in response to the words that she heard, and once released she would quickly run off looking for this mystical tower.
1638(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1639--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1640
1641[11:32] Astaria waves enthusiastically at the child running off, her silvery eyes slowly shifting to Satsuki afterwards.
1642(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
1643--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1644
1645[11:33] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, sleeping on the ground and stuff."
1646[11:33] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You're so crazy Kitty."
1647[11:34] Igleta leans down to kiss the older girl on the forehead. A short sigh escapes her as she comes to a complete stand and starts to run off once again.
1648(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1649--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1650
1651[13:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: (157)
1652[13:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Teacher!"
1653[13:16] Azira asks, "Igleta?"
1654[13:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I came to hang out with you."
1655[13:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "So what have you been up to?"
1656[13:17] Azira says, "Farming mostly, cooking and trying to create new recipies."
1657[13:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Ooooh. What new recipes have you been trying out?"
1658[13:19] Azira says, "We don't exactl have much to do with trouts so I seek to learn how to prepare them in a stuffed from with sardines and carrots."
1659[13:20] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, that sounds neat."
1660[13:21] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I only know about the pie you showed me."
1661[13:21] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Did you have any results on it?"
1662[13:22] Azira says, "Not yet, my recent attempt made me waste an entire trout."
1663[13:22] Azira says, "The gutting is annoying seeing that its bones are all over the place."
1664[13:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Ew. That sounds so bad."
1665[13:23] Azira says, "I know but thats how it is."
1666[13:23] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, there's so much to cooking."
1667[13:24] Azira says, "Indeed and...well once I find way to perfect the trouts I plan to move towards sardines in crust and tomato sauce."
1668[13:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "That sounds really good!"
1669[13:25] Azira says, "Thank you, though all of this will take time."
1670[13:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hey, do you like my hair? Val said it would be prettier if I let it down."
1671[13:26] Azira says, "They do suit you."
1672[13:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yay. I still don't know how I feel about leaving it down for so long. I really don't like it when things get in my hair."
1673[13:27] Azira asks, "Why do you think I have mine in such style?"
1674[13:28] Azira says, "I like mine long but having them hanging alone leaves so much mess."
1675[13:28] Azira says, "Especially around the fields."
1676[13:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hmmm maybe I should put mine back up then. You should show me how you do your hair, I wouldn't mind using it! Then everyone would know I'm your student, hehe."
1677[13:29] Azira says, "Are you sure about the entire idea behind trying my style? it isn't exactly the easiest to mantain or to prepare."
1678[13:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Yep! You're my teacher, I'd be a lowsy student if I didn't appear like you in some way!"
1679[13:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "The hairstyle isn't a lot, but I've never seen anyone else with it."
1680[13:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "So they'll always know it belongs to Azira, the Priestess."
1681[13:33] Azira says, "Alright then."
1682[13:34] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Yaaaay! So what do I have to do first?"
1683[13:34] Azira says, "Alright, we should move inside to work on it."
1684[13:35] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Alrighty."
1685[13:35] Azira says, "Take a seat and I will start."
1686[13:36] Igleta quickly hops into the chair with a wide grin on her face.
1687(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1688--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1689
1690[13:44] Azira moved to the side of her student while grabbing one of her hair brushes, taking a good look of her students hair, narrowing her eyes as she gently grabbed some of them in her hand to feel their texture, wanting to know how strong and soft the hair were before deciding the approach.
1691
1692"Hmm… you want similar decorations as I do have? If yes then you would have to get someone to forge them for you in near future." Azira said, with her free hand holding her students hair while she brushed them with another, trying to straighten them as much as she could to avoid any of them tangling during the looping.
1693(Azira)
1694--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1695
1696[13:48] Igleta would be overcome with excitement at the idea of looking like Azira in someway. It was pretty fun to think of being more like her teacher, even if only in a regard to appearance. As the hair is grabbed the smooth, and fragile, texture of it is revealed. It wasn't destroying under touch and yet it didn't seem like it could withstand much. However, upon testing it would actually be far stronger than one would guess. Pulling on a single strand of it was going to end up slightly tilting her head before it finally snapped free. "Hmmm, uhhhhh. I don't know. If you think I should to look more like you, then I will! I just don't know who might be able to make them for me though." She explains while her hair is brushed. The brush would cause the hair to straighten out with each stroke of it, removing any of the debris that had been contained within it during her adventures of the day.
1697(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1698--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1699
1700[14:00] "This is really up to you, it would make it easier to keep your hair in place that and they are a nice decoration. You have beautiful and strong hair, I don't think I will have issues with getting them into shape." Azira said calmly while gently grabbing hold of her students hair before deciding to start and adjust them, using decorative strings and ribbons to slowly to create loops and hold them in place.
1701
1702Priestess swiftly worked with preparing the wisps of her student hair in similar manner to her own hair, ensuring that neither of the hair got tangled in the process and that the loops didn't start breaking or losing its shape from the movement. Azira spent a good while on adjusting and brushing her students hair before finally deciding to step back and sigh lightly as she admired the results of her work.
1703(Azira)
1704--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1705
1706[14:05] "Then I do, I want it to look like yours as closely as possible." Igleta explains as she sits there and allows Azira to have a field day on her hair. It didn't take long and hearing the compliment about her hair made the young one blush for a moment before laughing. "Thanks!" She would exclaim afterwards and look over towards her sister once she stopped feeling the brush against her hair. She was amused when the ribbons and decorative string were added to her hair allowing them to be hold in place. The various loops that were handled and created looked rather good. Igleta would adorn an even wider smile than she had before. This was a truly exciting thing and she couldn't even hide it for a single second. "Ahh, I can't wait to see it!"
1707(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1708--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1709
1710[14:07] Azira says, "Hmm I could lend you some of my decorations...though I am unsure if you would feel alright with them."
1711[14:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Why is that?"
1712[14:08] Azira says, "They aren't exactly light."
1713[14:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Then I'll get strong hehe."
1714[14:21] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: (That's Chance ya know.)
1715[14:22] Azira whispers: (I am aware)

1720[14:46] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Hello."
1721[14:46] Arashi Zao asks, "Did they uh... Revoke that dumb 'NO NERIES ALLOWED' rule or something?"
1722[14:46] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "They did not, I'm afraid-- I'm a special case."
1723[14:46] Maphiya Estradà asks, "Why are you so loud?"

1731[14:48] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I have--"
1732[14:48] "Mind my business?"
1733
1734She would stand up and walk before the Neries, staring Arashi down.
1735
1736"Ehm, you have zero right to question her. Zero. As questioning her you place doubt into the Qilin Tribunal. So please, mind YOUR business." She would give him a smile and turn towards Astaria.
1737
1738"I hope he doesn't bug you anymore Ma'am."

1744[14:49] Maphiya Estradà says, "I'm aware."
1745[14:49] Maphiya Estradà says, "Love the new look Igleta."
1746[14:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh, thanks."
1747[14:49] "Dumbass, I'm against the rule," he responded, shooing her off with a hand.
1748
1749Arashi didn't have time to deal with girls that had attitudes like this, whether they were young or older like he was. He didn't care for that, and he wasn't even questioning her. In fact, he was pretty sure he'd met her before through Nephira!

1754
1755[14:50] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang."
1756[14:53] She'd cough into a fist, which came down swinging beside her very quickly.
1757
1758"If you're against the rules, then what in the Emperor's name are you doing here?" She looked at him as if he was some sort of buffoon, and frankly he was one. She sniffed, looking towards the Neries. "Wanna join me for a cup of tea? I'd love to get out of this whole situation."
1759
1760She looked towards Igleta. "He stinks almost as badly as Sei hehe." Of course, a joke, but her right hand did rise beside her head and wave dismissively at Arashi.
1761
1762"You can go now."

1776
1777Her attitude annoyed him, and it took nearly every ounce of willpower not to punch her in the mouth for her insolence. However, he wasn't even a bad person like that... If he hit someone, he'd just be making himself look bad, and that'd probably be dumb to just beat someone's ass over words.

1783[15:08] The Neries awkwardly smiles at the two of them, mirror-like silvery eyes looking from one place to another-- oh boy, she was caught between a rock and a hard place here. Her left hand rose to run through her hair, monochromatically pale as the rest of her and adorned with a single ring-- it was dark and made of polished tyrium, with a pearl-like gem on it. The ring continuously emitted a faint humming sound, though it was hard to pinpoint it'd come from it without some specific analysis.
1784
1785"Ah.. s-sure? Tea sounds lovely.. uhm.."
1786
1787She really, really doesn't like being stuck between two people like that.
1788(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
1789--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1790
1791[15:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh."
1792[15:11] "Right, right."
1793
1794She would shrug at Arashi's comments. "My bad attitude didn't stop me from living in Nu's house, or even going out with him, so." She was rude, to a degree. Yet perhaps her rudeness stemmed from her brutally honest nature, and the want to keep up a stern profile.
1795
1796She wasn't stern.
1797
1798She was a huge softie.
1799
1800And people simply couldn't know that. "Would you like to go with us, Igleta?" She looked towards the younger triplet... God... There were really three of them? Maphiya shivered at the thought alone.
1801(Maphiya Estradà )
1802--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1803
1804[15:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh, it's okay! I'm waiting on someone. You guys have fun."
1805[15:11] Leona Itheis Mariposa exclaims, "Hi Igleta!"
1806[15:11] Arashi Zao says, "I mean, congrats on dating my best friend."
1807[15:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hi. Stop getting hurt so much."
1808[15:12] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, "O-Oh. . someone told you about that?"
1809[15:12] Arashi Zao says, "You better be making him happy."
1810[15:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Why do you think I'm here?"
1811[15:12] Maphiya Estradà says, "He wouldn't have invited me to live with him."
1812[15:12] Maphiya Estradà says, "If I didn't."
1813[15:12] Leona nervously giggles.
1814(Leona Itheis Mariposa)
1815--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1816
1817[15:12] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Mmh.."
1818[15:12] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "I'm okay now, Igleta."
1819[15:12] Arashi Zao says, "I just said congrats."
1820[15:12] Leona Itheis Mariposa exclaims, "I feel much better!"
1821[15:12] Arashi Zao says, "Now shoo."
1822[15:12] Arashi Zao says, "Go drink your tea."
1823[15:12] Maphiya Estradà says, "Huff."
1824[15:12] Maphiya waves her hand at his dismissivly as she follows Astaria.
1825(Maphiya Estradà )
1826--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1827
1828[15:13] Azira asks, "Everything alright here?"
1829[15:13] Maphiya Estradà says, "Bye blue boy."
1830[15:13] Arashi imitates her.
1831(Arashi Zao)
1832--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1833
1834[15:13] Arashi Zao says, "Bye blonde idiot."
1835[15:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang."
1836[15:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Rude."
1837[15:13] Maphiya Estradà says, "Wow I didn't call you an idiot."
1838[15:13] Maphiya Estradà says, "Men these days."
1839[15:13] Maphiya Estradà says, "Monkeys in costumes."
1840[15:13] Arashi rolls his eyes.
1841(Arashi Zao)
1842--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1843
1844[15:13] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Ah.."
1845[15:13] Yuki M. Emberstone exclaims, "Hey, don't you talk like that!"
1846[15:14] Azira says, "...."
1847[15:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Huh?"
1848[15:40] Arashi Zao says, "Huh."
1849[15:40] Arashi Zao asks, "Alright, that sounds cool. Did you get any more rice?"
1850[15:42] Azira says, "A bit."
1851[15:42] Arashi Zao says, "...Aah? That's great."
1852[15:42] Arashi Zao says, "I might need more, I'm running out."
1853[15:47] "Not yet buuut, hsssh, wassssted tillersss joy is fine. He usually throwsss one in along with payment ssso it's whatever." She'd say with a groggy yawn. A small giggling snort followed by a soft trill of her gills as she remains slumped against Reishi. One of her own arms hooking around him with a hum.
1854
1855"Jussst trying to wake up, fully. I guesss. Slow ssstart to the day, and no money to ssspend badly. Ssshk, mm'terrible with coin." She mumbles, still looking a bit on the sleepy side. Fingers squeezing lightly at the 'mountains' armored frame before she let out a soft warbling hiss.
1856
1857"Would asssk what plansss are today, but assumes it is 'ssspend time with fish'." She snickers.
1858
1859
1860(Saeriin)
1861--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1862
1863[15:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "HIiii."
1864[15:49] Ilonnia Wray says, "Hey there, Igleta. "
1865[15:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "What's up?"
1866[15:50] She glanced around while covered in blood. Not her own.
1867
1868"I'm lookin' for someone."
1869(Ilonnia Wray)
1870--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1871
1872[15:50] Igleta cancels that hug.
1873(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1874--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1875
1876[15:50] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang."
1877[15:50] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "What happened to you, and who?"
1878[15:51] Ilonnia Wray says, "Oh, I was workin' on a fish man with a massive hole in his stomach and I fixed 'im . . he went out to find his injured friend and never came back."
1879[15:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh, I never saw a fish man. Someone else might have though."
1880[15:52] Ilonnia Wray says, "I'mma go check back in Deseti. Keep an eye out for me, alright? "
1881[15:52] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "He went inside the fort."
1882[15:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "S-."
1883[15:52] Ilonnia Wray asks, "-- Really?"
1884[15:52] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "*points to the building behind him."
1885[15:53] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "Yeah."
1886[15:53] Ilonnia Wray asks, "Was there a kitsune there with 'im?"
1887[15:53] "Least the potion was good yes?" He'd chuckle a bit, not minding her slumping on to him. He had to be sturdy for some reason right? His gaze locked on to the redhaired one, her arm hooking around him,
1888
1889"The mornings can be a bit tough, I know what you mean. I usually start off with a spar, really lets the body know, you know?" Fighting is a passion for the Guren, so he'd speak about every now and then. His grip tightening a bit as he hold her close, eyes focused only on them.
1890
1891"Ah, yea I suck with money also... If you'd like I can give you a bit, a gift." Whenever he can give, he will. Reishi does that, and doesn't mind being poor. He's very used to that life.
1892
1893"Yuuup, spend time with Saerii, that's the move forever I guess."
1894(Reishi Guren)
1895--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1896
1897[15:53] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "He was looking for her."
1898[15:53] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "He went in there and I'm not sure if he came out."
1899[15:53] Ilonnia Wray says, "Yeah . . I gotta help her out next. Thanks, guy. See ya, Igleta. "
1900[15:53] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Byeeee."
1901[15:53] Hanmyo sits next to the the guy with the cape
1902(Hanmyo)
1903--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1904
1905[15:54] Ilonnia Wray says, "Weird . . "
1906[15:55] Ilonnia Wray says, "If ya see 'im again, let 'im know Ilonnia was lookin' for 'im. "
1907[15:57] Najal would be busy counting the coins in his bag, moving them one at a time to another bag. "Seven oh one, seven oh two..." he would count quietly, slit emerald eyes focusing on his task at hand as he felt the bench shift slightly under him, a presence next to him now. Najal would dump all the coins back into a single back, tucking it into his robes before turning to look at the new comer.
1908
1909"Oh... hai." he would say with a tilt of his small head, offer the girl a big toothy grin, the razor in the young draks mouth visible with the gesture.
1910(Najal Brekk)
1911--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1912
1913[15:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<Am I actually bored?>"
1914[15:58] Kagero says, "-Looks at Reishi and the fish girl-"
1915[15:58] Kagero says, "There are some really ugly people in the world."
1916[15:59] Hanmyo says, "Hey~"
1917[15:59] Kagero asks, "Hello Han. Have you seen the boys?"
1918[15:59] Maphiya Estradà says, "Hey you."
1919[15:59] Maphiya pokes him.
1920(Maphiya Estradà )
1921--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1922
1923[16:00] Najal Brekk asks, "I'm Najal! Who are you?"
1924[16:00] Reishi Guren says, "Hey-hi."
1925[16:00] "Hsssh, sssparring sometimesss works. But prefers sleeping in.. Mosst of the time. Incredibly lazy- jussst don't tell my boss yuh?" She giggles quietly when pulled closer, her eyes crisscrossing before rolling them. "Already have given thisss one enough. Owes you sssome coin now. Will not take no for answer when paid- debtsss mussst be repaid." A single finger moves in a slow and methodical circular motion against Reishi's chestpiece before she lets out a soft little hum.
1926
1927"Might visssit Crafthold for a bit in a little while, to check up on an old friend and sssee about gathering sssome eggsss for Boss'sss cooking." She'd say with a soft yawn and a shrug of her shoulders.
1928
1929Being called ugly was, well expected, so she seemed unbothered by it, opting to remain shamelessly leaning against the armored Wannabe Hero.
1930
1931"Hssshk, fisssh not sssure though. Maybe will jusssst lounge all da-"
1932
1933Her eyes snap towards Maphiya and she gives her a little squint- perhaps a liiiittle overzealous in the 'this is mine' department. Slitted nostrils snorting before she mellows out and shakes off the yandereism.
1934
1935No need for that now was there!
1936(Saeriin)
1937--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1938
1939[16:00] Maphiya Estradà whispers something.
1940[16:00] Hanmyo says, "Hanmyo, nice to meet you~"
1941[16:00] Najal Brekk says, "Nice to meet you too~"
1942[16:01] Najal would extend a hand for shaking.
1943(Najal Brekk)
1944--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1945
1946[16:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<Ham yo... Yo Ham. Yo Hammity Ham.>"
1947[16:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I like your name."
1948[16:01] Najal Brekk exclaims, "Oh hey Igleta!"
1949[16:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hiiiiiiiiiiii."
1950[16:01] Najal Brekk says, "My head still hurts."
1951[16:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Whoosh."
1952[16:01] Najal rubs at the bump.
1953(Najal Brekk)
1954--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1955
1956[16:01] looks at the girl who just spook to her with a smile
1957"Oh thank you~"
1958(Hanmyo)
1959--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1960
1961[16:02] Kazma Kazeki asks, "Whoosh?"
1962[16:03] grabs Najal's hand and shake it
1963(Hanmyo)
1964--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1965
1966[16:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yep. One of my many, many sound effects! Also, you're welcome."
1967[16:03] Najal Brekk asks, "So, do you live around here Hanmyo?"
1968[16:03] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
1969[16:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<Yo Hammity.>"
1970[16:03] Kazma Kazeki asks, "Oh. What other sound effects can you make?"
1971[16:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I mean, like, I love your name."
1972[16:04] Eagleheart whispers something.
1973[16:04] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh. A whole bunch man. Explosions, hearts, stuff. You know."
1974[16:04] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
1975[16:04] Eagleheart whispers something.
1976[16:04] Hanmyo says, "I just arrived here, I don't have a home or anything."
1977[16:04] Eagleheart whispers something.
1978[16:05] Kazma Kazeki says, "Hm... I think I can only make 'swish' sounds with my sword."
1979[16:05] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Oh, you actually use a sword?"
1980[16:05] Najal Brekk exclaims, "I can make thunder!"
1981[16:05] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Lies."
1982[16:05] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
1983[16:05] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You make boom-boom."
1984[16:05] Igleta laughs to herself.
1985(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
1986--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1987
1988[16:05] Kazma Kazeki says, "Thunder's more of a 'crash' to me."
1989[16:05] Eagleheart whispers something.
1990[16:05] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
1991[16:05] Kazma Kazeki says, "And yeah, I use a sword."
1992[16:06] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
1993[16:06] Eagleheart whispers something.
1994[16:06] Najal would cross his arms over his small chest and stick his tongue out at Igleta. "You make boom-boom, Igloo-chan"
1995(Najal Brekk)
1996--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1997
1998[16:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, you must have a crazy good body."
1999[16:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Igleta."
2000[16:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'll punch you in the face."
2001[16:06] Maphiya Estradà says, "Igleta stop flirting."
2002[16:06] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
2003[16:06] Maphiya Estradà says, "With the rocks."
2004[16:06] Najal Brekk exclaims, "Bring it punk!"
2005[16:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "What in the what."
2006[16:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Pffft. You wanna go hoodie man???"
2007[16:06] Kazma Kazeki asks, "Huh?"
2008[16:07] Eagleheart whispers something.
2009[16:07] Maphiya Estradà says, "You're so horny that even rocks turn you on they're so hard."
2010[16:07] Saul tilts the bottle upside down. He looks at Reishi. "Want some?"
2011(Saul Franco)
2012--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2013
2014[16:07] Najal Brekk exclaims, "Yeah! Bring all three feet of ya!"
2015[16:07] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
2016[16:07] Igleta pulls the sword off of her-. She fucking stares at Maphiya.
2017(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2018--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2019
2020[16:07] Maphiya gives her a wave.
2021(Maphiya Estradà )
2022--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2023
2024[16:07] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You foul."
2025[16:07] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm telling Sei."
2026[16:07] Eagleheart whispers something.
2027[16:08] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
2028[16:08] Maphiya Estradà asks, "And what's he gonna do...?"
2029[16:08] Saul Franco says, "Stop sexually harassing the girl."
2030[16:08] Maphiya Estradà says, "He can't whoop my ass like he whoops yours."
2031[16:08] Kazma Kazeki says, "When did we start talking about flirting..."
2032[16:08] Maphiya Estradà says, "S-Sei... S-Sto-Stop..."
2033[16:08] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
2034[16:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Pfffft."
2035[16:08] Maphiya Estradà says, "That's you when he whoops you."
2036[16:08] Najal Brekk says, "Das rude."
2037[16:08] Saeriin says, ".... Fisssh needsss an adult.."
2038[16:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I kicked Sei's butt."
2039[16:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I even mugged him."
2040[16:08] Najal Brekk says, "That lady is rude."
2041[16:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "But now...."
2042[16:09] Maphiya Estradà says, "What did you steal"
2043[16:09] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
2044[16:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You and Sei gone fight in the field."
2045[16:09] Maphiya Estradà says, "His V card/"
2046[16:09] Saul Franco asks, "Man, can you shut the fuck up?"
2047[16:09] Maphiya Estradà says, "Just kidding."
2048[16:09] Maphiya Estradà says, "You are like ten."
2049[16:09] Eagleheart whispers something.
2050[16:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<You're like 400.>"
2051[16:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hiiiiii."
2052[16:09] Saul Franco says, "She's fucking nine, Maphiya."
2053[16:09] Maphiya Estradà says, "Nine months."
2054[16:09] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
2055[16:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hey, hey."
2056[16:09] Najal Brekk exclaims, "Das a bad word. I'm tellin!"
2057[16:09] Maphiya Estradà says, "She's just out the womb like."
2058[16:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "They told me I'm like fourteen."
2059[16:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Or something."
2060[16:09] Saeriin says, "Uughghgh, Ssswearing hurtsss fissshes earssss..."
2061[16:10] Maphiya Estradà asks, "Who told you that?"
2062[16:10] Maphiya Estradà says, "Time is a figment of our imagination Igleta."
2063[16:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<Ah, boredom, my old rival. You were defeated by the perverted woman.>"
2064[16:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Kitty told me."
2065[16:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "And Sei."
2066[16:10] Maphiya Estradà says, "You can be any age."
2067[16:10] Maphiya Estradà asks, "How would Sei know how old you are?"
2068[16:10] Eagleheart whispers something.
2069[16:10] Kazma Kazeki says, "Uhm... I don't think I'm imagining time..."
2070[16:10] Hanmyo says, "I am going to look around for a bit."
2071[16:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "No clue. He guessed."
2072[16:10] Maphiya Estradà says, "He's a bad guesser."
2073[16:11] Maphiya Estradà says, "He's grey at seventeen."
2074[16:11] "I don't sleep much, I think I should try it more often. Sleep real good last night, one of the very few times I passed out in bed uninjured. Crazy, yea, I know." He kept a tight hold, caressing the fish's waist all the while. "If I give you something like on a material level, I don't want or need to be repaid. Though if you wish I cannot say no, all I ask is for you not to stress over it."
2075
2076With the approach of Maphiya, the Guren's focus doesn't change. He speaks to them, but remains focused on Saeriin.
2077
2078"Ah, I can't go there sadly." Not like he wants to anyways, that place is disgusting in his eyes. Now at least. "I do hope you have fun, connecting with old friends will always bring good I feel." Another laugh, pausing his speech.
2079
2080"I haven't went patrolling in like months, Maphiya." He still didn't make eye contact he quite occupied at the moment. "If we patrolwe patrol- also please don't call it hunting that's not what we do."
2081
2082He was still very calm, and cool. Exactly like his old self, there was something certain. Whatever was troubling him vanished. Crazy. "I'm fine with lounging, though there will be times where I gotta suit up you know?"
2083(Reishi Guren)
2084--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2085
2086[16:11] Maphiya Estradà asks, "How can you ask him for an age estimate?"
2087[16:11] Najal Brekk says, "Be careful Hanmyo! Vampries hang out outside of town."
2088[16:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I didn't though."
2089[16:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "People like to tell me how old I am."
2090[16:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Cause they metagame that age shows up."
2091[16:11] Saul stops his foot angerly, the ground underneath Maphiya's legs begins to shake.
2092
2093"I told you to fucking stop."
2094(Saul Franco)

2102[16:11] Maphiya Estradà says, "She's my friend you moron."
2103[16:11] Hanmyo asks, "V-vampires exists?"
2104[16:11] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
2105[16:11] Astaria furrows her eyebrows.

2109[16:11] Maphiya Estradà says, "Right Reishi."
2110[16:11] Saul Franco says, "I don't give a fuck."
2111[16:11] Eagleheart whispers something.
2112[16:11] Najal Brekk says, "I guess... I ain't never seen one."
2113[16:11] Maphiya Estradà says, "If you go, do tell."
2114[16:11] Saeriin says, "Ssstop ssswearing..."
2115[16:11] Maphiya goes over to Igleta.
2116(Maphiya Estradà )
2117--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2118
2119[16:11] Igleta gets a closer seat.
2120(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2121--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2122
2123[16:11] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
2124[16:11] Maphiya Estradà says, "Hey Sweety."
2125[16:11] Maphiya pats her head.
2126(Maphiya Estradà )
2127--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2128
2129[16:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<When did she get so close to me?>"
2130[16:11] Saul Franco says, "By the spirits.."
2131[16:11] Hanmyo says, "Well thanks for the warn."
2132[16:11] Reishi Guren whispers something.
2133[16:11] Kazma Kazeki says, "There was a recent Vampire attack on the tavern in town, so yeah. They're real."
2134[16:11] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
2135[16:11] Igleta Is head pat.
2136(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2137--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2138
2139[16:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hiiiii."
2140[16:12] Nu whispers: Right then.. listen to what I need to say.. Do not tell himm and do not speak of this to anyone alright?
2141[16:12] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
2142[16:12] Saeriin whispers something.
2143[16:12] Maphiya Estradà whispers: Hows the whole you and Sei situation
2144[16:12] Eagleheart whispers something.
2145[16:12] Nishihara, Lilith whispers something.
2146[16:12] Maphiya Estradà whispers: Katrin was mad upset over it.
2147[16:12] Nishihara, Lilith whispers something.
2148[16:12] Eagleheart whispers something.
2149[16:12] Nishihara, Lilith whispers something.
2150[16:12] Reishi Guren whispers something.
2151[16:13] Nu whispers: Who..
2152[16:13] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
2153[16:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Huh?
2154[16:13] Maphiya Estradà whispers: Sei saying he'll date you or whatever?
2155[16:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Where even is Sei?
2156[16:13] Maphiya Estradà whispers: Either way - none of my business.
2157[16:13] Maphiya Estradà whispers: Probably asleep.
2158[16:13] Eagleheart whispers something.
2159[16:13] Maphiya Estradà whispers: But thanks for making him better... He's been awfully down recently.
2160[16:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Dang, he sleeps for months. What a punk.
2161[16:14] Eagleheart whispers something.
2162[16:14] Maphiya Estradà whispers: And you do make him happier.
2163[16:14] Maphiya pats his head.
2164(Maphiya Estradà )
2165--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2166
2167[16:14] Igleta wonders who 'he' is
2168(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2169--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2170
2171[16:14] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
2172[16:14] Eagleheart whispers something.
2173[16:15] Nishihara, Lilith whispers something.
2174[16:15] Igleta is head pat once again. She was getting touched on the head a lot in this place.
2175(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2176--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2177
2178[16:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: You really think so?
2179[16:15] Eagleheart whispers something.
2180[16:15] Maphiya Estradà whispers: I do.
2181[16:15] Nu whispers something.
2182[16:16] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
2183[16:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Psssh. Last time you pulled my ear and stuff.
2184[16:16] Eagleheart whispers something.
2185[16:16] Maphiya Estradà whispers: It's like he's back to his old ways in a way... You didn't meet him when he was a kid.
2186[16:16] Nu whispers something.
2187[16:16] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
2188[16:16] Eagleheart whispers something.
2189[16:16] Maphiya Estradà says, "EHM."
2190[16:16] Maphiya Estradà says, "I have to go."
2191[16:16] Eagleheart whispers something.
2192[16:16] Maphiya Estradà says, "Nu is being demanding."
2193[16:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Alright."
2194[16:16] Maphiya Estradà says, "See ya later Igleta."
2195[16:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Byeee."
2196[16:16] Astaria Rosenkreuz exclaims, "Lilith!"
2197[16:16] With a slight roll of her eyes she shrugs her shoulders, clicking her tongue against the roof of her mouth. For once she almost seemed aggravated, how unlike her! But now that nobody was cursing up a storm she'd certainly mellowed out, little ear fins twitching and wriggling momentarily before she nods her head slowly and murmurs a reply towards Reishi, before speaking up normally once again.
2198
2199"Hssh, might jussst be because day isss slow." Her slitted snake-like nostrils flexed as she let out a soft little hissing noise, a small glance given towards the crowd and then towards Saul. "Mmmm… Isss alwaysss busssy here. Kind of.. Interesssting to watch though."
2200(Saeriin)
2201--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2202
2203[16:16] Maphiya Estradà says, "I'd like to have a prope chat with you about them."
2204[16:16] Saeriin whispers something.
2205[16:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<Demanding....>"
2206[16:17] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers something.
2207[16:17] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Or expects me to die, or-- something of the such.
2208[16:17] Eagleheart whispers something.
2209[16:17] Eagleheart whispers something.
2210[16:17] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Ah.
2211[16:18] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Forgive me. I'm used to a certain.. sort of treatment.
2212[16:18] Igleta munches on a cookie.
2213(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2214--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2215
2216[16:19] Eagleheart whispers something.
2217[16:20] Eagleheart whispers something.
2218[16:21] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I see. I've only lived with them for four years.
2219[16:21] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I'm from Nostvale.
2220[16:21] Astaria Rosenkreuz exclaims, "Lilith!"
2221[16:21] Astaria waves at the kitsune enthusiastically.
2222(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
2223--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2224
2225[16:21] Nishihara, Lilith asks, "Hmm?"
2226[16:21] For brief period Reishi breaks focus.
2227
2228Gaze fluttering about, as everyone goes on with their daily duties. Kids talking, people doing work, arguments. All sorts of stuff happening in busy Huangzhou. Reishi himself was nice and hugged up with Saeriin, hid gaze finally trailing back to her own as those ear fins twitch.
2229
2230"Probably, I don't really like it when it's like this. Cursing, and people being upset." A shake of his head, "So... Just not cool, like the smiles." A nod confirming his own statement.
2231
2232"Yea the people of Huang are very nice, and entertaining. I'm proud to hail from here."
2233(Reishi Guren)
2234--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2235
2236[16:21] Nishihara, Lilith says, "H-hey. . ."
2237[16:21] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Don't remember me?"
2238[16:21] Nishihara, Lilith says, "I. ..do! I'm just. . .got a lot on my mind."
2239[16:21] Eagleheart whispers something.
2240[16:22] Nishihara, Lilith asks, "Sorry about that. . how have you been Astaria?"
2241[16:22] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "I'm well dearie, thank you. How about you, are you okay?"
2242[16:22] Nishihara, Lilith says, "Yeah. . I will. I just have some bad anxiety right now."
2243[16:22] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Oh.."
2244[16:22] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Do you want a hug?"
2245[16:23] Nishihara, Lilith says, "Oh no-no. . I should be fine. Thanks for the offer though."
2246[16:23] Kazma felt a bit restless, which was a feeling he wasn't used to. Ever since he picked up his first sword a while ago moments like these started happening more frequently. He found that the longer his sat around the stronger the itch to do or train became.
2247
2248He placed his hand on his sowrds hilt and glanced around the area. He saw Armis sitting across the fountain from him. Standing up, Kazma walked over.
2249
2250"Armis. Do you want to fight in the Dojo again?"
2251(Kazma Kazeki)
2252--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2253
2254[16:23] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Absolutely."
2255[16:24] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Is Lady Nanyang well? Has she, ah, recovered?"
2256[16:24] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I believe she still felt some lingering pain."
2257[16:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hi."
2258[16:24] Katrin Weiner says, "Hello Letty."
2259[16:24] Nishihara, Lilith says, "She is recovering. . .she has been sleeping more as of late."
2260[16:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "You feeling better?"
2261[16:24] Katrin Weiner asks, "What do you mean?"
2262[16:24] Nishihara, Lilith says, "I am thankful for your assistance on the matter."
2263[16:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I heard you weren't well."
2264[16:25] Astaria nods slowly.
2265(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
2266--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2267
2268[16:25] Katrin Weiner asks, "From whom?"
2269[16:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Astaria, silly."
2270[16:25] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Please, let me know if something changes. I can.. improve her condition a little, if temporarily."
2271[16:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "How else would I find you? You just kinda took off."
2272[16:25] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Give her a little more energy to do things."
2273[16:25] Katrin is quite confused.
2274(Katrin Weiner)
2275--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2276
2277[16:26] Nishihara, Lilith says, "Thank you Lady Astaria, I shall be sure to do that. Perhaps another time I can treat you to tea or something as a way of saying thank you properly."
2278[16:26] Katrin Weiner says, "Havn't really gone anywhere aside from Crafthold and then back here, don't recall not feeling well either."
2279[16:26] Astaria Rosenkreuz exclaims, "That would be lovely, dearie. I look forward to it!"
2280[16:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "When did you go to Crafthold?"
2281[16:26] Nishihara, Lilith says, "Great! Anyway if you'll excuse me. . .I have to find someone. . .so I'll see you around Astaria! Take care."
2282[16:26] Katrin Weiner says, "Earlier with lady Astaria."
2283[16:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh, dang."
2284[16:27] He was just minding his own business, looking down at the ground taking it easy until he heard a familiar voice ask him something, he looked up to see the guy he fought before, asking for another round.
2285
2286Wasn't much going on right now anyways, "Yeah, sure." He stood from the bench. "I'll follow."
2287(Armis)
2288--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2289
2290[16:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Psssst. Let's go watch them fight in the dojo."
2291[16:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "That one guy uses a sword. I wonder if he's as good as Sei."
2292[16:27] Katrin Weiner says, "Eh sure, I'm bored, lead the way goofball."
2293[16:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Pfffffbbttt."
2294[16:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "You can do it sword guy!"
2295[16:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Okay, what's going on?
2296[16:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Cause something ain't right. I'm not dumb, you know.
2297[16:28] Katrin Weiner whispers: What do you mean?
2298[16:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Nah, nah. Don't do that.
2299[16:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Astaria talked really weird when I was asking about you when she came back alone. Didn't even want to tell me where you were.
2300[16:29] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: And then, you say you both went to Crafthold, but she mentions something about you being out of control, or something.
2301[16:29] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Come on....Don't do this. We talked about this.
2302[16:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: I mean she even just ignored the fact you were there.
2303[16:31] Kazma walked into the dojo and took the arena towards the right side since there seemed to be others on the left. He took his place and faced Armis. The last time the two fought, Kazma lost twice... Hopefully it'll be different this time around.
2304
2305He grabbed the hilt of his new sword and took it out of his sash, gripping it with both hands and held it before him. A smile immediatly spread itself across his face as he focused on the fight ahead. Though his concentraition was interupted a little when he heard cheering from the bench. That Igleta girl and a maid were apparently watching his fight.
2306
2307"I'm Kazma." he spoke and turned back to look at Armis, re-focusing on the duel. "I'm ready."
2308(Kazma Kazeki)
2309--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2310
2311[16:32] Katrin Weiner whispers: Oh, it's nothign really, she and I got into an argument earlier and got into a fight, she learned a few things, and now things are better between us. We got into a fight because I felt like she was too busy with everyone else to spend time with me.
2312[16:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Good luck, Kazma!"
2313[16:32] Najal Brekk asks, "Who's fightin?"
2314[16:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "The sword guy, Kazma, he's super cool. Then there's uhhhh Armis."
2315[16:32] He took his sword off his back, pointing it forward towards his opponent. Shifting his leg back to ready himself to dash. He stared at him coldly, taking this fight more seriously compared to last time.
2316
2317He didn't say anything, he just kept looking on at him waiting for the match to begin.
2318(Armis)
2319--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2320
2321[16:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I d on't know Armis, but he looks cool."
2322[16:33] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Dang, you weren't even going to say you got into a fight.
2323[16:33] Najal Brekk says, "Waaait, isn't Armis that rude guy that Sei said couldn't join?..."
2324[16:34] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Uhhhh I think so, actually."
2325[16:34] Katrin Weiner whispers: I havn't had the chance before right now? I was confused when you said I wasn't feeling well because I havn't gotten sick or anything.
2326[16:34] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "........"
2327[16:34] Igleta raises an eyebrow.
2328(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2329--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2330
2331[16:34] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Uh huh.
2332[16:34] Katrin Weiner whispers: I was going to find you earlier, but didn't know where you were, and then she wanted to go see if Eiphraem was available because he needs to talk to her personally about us being banned from Crafthold
2333[16:35] Katrin Weiner whispers: I never really know where you go when you run off here
2334[16:35] Katrin Weiner whispers: so I went to sleep
2335[16:36] Kazma kept both his hands gripped against his blade, sweat dripping down his face. He was even shaking a bit with the small smile gradually growing into an uncharacteristic grin spread from ear to ear. He was very happy right now. Not only because he won their first exchange, though that certainly added to the feeling. But because he was swining his sword around, something he felt great joy from for some reason.
2336
2337"Again." he muttered and charged forward.
2338(Kazma Kazeki)
2339--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2340
2341[16:36] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: I didn't go anywhere. You left me.
2342[16:36] Igleta laughs a bit, but there was something off about that laugh.
2343(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2344--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2345
2346[16:36] Katrin Weiner whispers: I mean when I took my nap in the grass, I remember you giving me a kiss and then running off, didn't know where you went.
2347[16:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: It's fine.
2348[16:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Dang!"
2349[16:37] Najal Brekk says, "Oof. Rough."
2350[16:40] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Can I just ask... Do you think I don't umm.... Notice anything?
2351[16:40] Forget a normal grin, Kazma's mouth was wide open, panting for air with a smile that would put others to shame. He didn't think just winning would feel this good. But it did, and he liked it. The feeling only added to the high he felt while wielding his sword. He then snapped out of it a moment later and looked at Armis.
2352
2353"A- ah. Good fight." he said and made a bow in their direction. Though he didn't put his sword away and still kept a happy smile on his face, though it lessened from when they were fighting.
2354
2355"... We can go again if you want. We did two matches last time after all."
2356(Kazma Kazeki)
2357--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2358
2359[16:41] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "That was a great fight guys!"
2360[16:43] It felt like he was getting weaker. The one who was considered his equal beat him within two rounds of fighting, with him not gaining much ground in those fights either. He started looking a bit agitated now, mumbling angerly under his breath as he picked himself off the floor, again.
2361
2362"yeah sure, lets go again." Go again to be beat, like all his fights.
2363
2364
2365(Armis)
2366--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2367
2368[16:43] Najal would give a low whistle. "sword guys are pretty cool huh?... Wish I knew how to use one..." he would pout, crossing his arms over his chest with a huff.
2369(Najal Brekk)
2370--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2371
2372[16:43] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I know right? I asked Sei and he said I didn't need to know how."
2373[16:43] Najal Brekk says, "He's rude"
2374[16:44] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yea, he totally is."
2375[16:44] Katrin Weiner whispers: basically the whole fight was me telling her that I did not like her fiance.. she told me to kneel, I told her no, she fired me from being her maid, i threatened to kill her fiancee because I was mad at Astaria, she attacked me and realized that I wont ever attack her back no matter what, we talked a little bit, we both apologized, and now things are good between us again.
2376[16:45] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Dang. Okay, that escalated.
2377[16:45] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: It was just a yes or no question, you know.
2378[16:46] Katrin Weiner whispers: I know, but remember how I told you I wouldn't keep things from you because I love you?
2379[16:46] Katrin Weiner whispers: well.. there's more.
2380[16:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Uhhhhhhh...........
2381[16:46] Again, he lost. He expected it, so why'd he go through it again? Some thought in his head that led him to believe he had a possibility? If so then he was indeed foolish.
2382
2383Without saying anything he stomped his foot into the ground as hard as he could, looking angry now, he positioned himself in the same stance, looking eager to rush at Kazma.
2384(Armis)
2385--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2386
2387[16:46] Katrin Weiner whispers: The reason I've been a little weird lately, is because before I told you about Leona getting hurt.. and the reason I was so exhausted.. was someone attacked me in the volcano.. and I killed them.
2388[16:47] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Whaaaaaaa?
2389[16:47] Katrin Weiner whispers: I've been trying to find the right time to tell you that.. but I don't know if a right time exists.
2390[16:47] For some reason, things just started to... 'click' for Kazma. Things he couldn't do yesterday, or even an hour ago he could do right now. The wide grin on his face appeared once again while sweat poured down his face. He knew his stamina wasn't excellent, but for some reason he didn't feel tired. In fact, the more he moved the more energy he felt run through him.
2391
2392The words -'I feel like I can do anything right now.'- passed through his mind. Did he actually believe that? Well, in this moment he might. With that thought behind him he charged towards Armis once again.
2393(Kazma Kazeki)
2394--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2395
2396[16:49] Katrin Weiner whispers: Please do not ask me to tell you about the person or who it was, because I wont even tell Astaria.. if people find out who it is, I could be in great danger, as it is now.. there is no way for someone to know without me telling.
2397[16:50] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: I....hmmm.
2398[16:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Can we wait in the square for a while? I think Paladia should be in town somewhere.
2399[16:52] Katrin Weiner whispers: Yes.. but before we go.. can you promise not to be mad at me?..
2400[16:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: For?
2401[16:53] Katrin Weiner whispers: Well.. I know how happy you were when I told you that I asked Astaria to release me from her service so I wouldn't be her maid anymore.. but.. when she fired me, I didn't really knkow what to do.. I had lost my family, my home, my teacher, and my best friend all at the same time.. When she and I talked, I did ask her to reconsider firing me.. and let me be her maid again, and she said that I could be if I wanted.. so I'm kind of her maid again.
2402[16:54] Kazma darted around the arena and kept on Armis. He really was a great sparring partner, as it wasn't just a one sided fight. The guy really managed to push Kazma to not only grow from their previous duel, but this one as well.
2403
2404Though it came to an end. Kazma managed to land a couple good combos on Armis, knocking him to the ground where he had trouble standing back up, signaling the end of the duel.
2405
2406"Huff.. Huff... huff.. G- good match." Kazma spoke and bowed, same as last time. Though he was obviously spent. It was like he was in the zone during most of their match and was running on empty all of a sudden. He quickly slid his sword back in his sash, smile faded from his face, and collapsed backwards on the ground. He wasn't unconcious or anything, just very tired from concecutive fights while giving it his all.
2407
2408'I really am bad with stamina, aren't I?'
2409(Kazma Kazeki)

2412[16:54] Igleta proceeds to stand up and walk off.
2413(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2414--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2415
2416[16:56] Najal would look concerned but say nothing as Igleta would suddenly depart. The boy couldn't shake the feeling something was wrong.
2417(Najal Brekk)
2418--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2419
2420[16:56] Katrin follows Igleta.
2421(Katrin Weiner)
2422--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2423
2424[16:56] Astaria returns from the store with a plate filled with fried eggs, gently handing it to Hanmyo with a warm smile.
2425
2426"Here. If you want more, just say it.."
2427
2428As she took a seat beside the child again, her silvery eyes displayed some concern. "Where are your parents? You shouldn't be alone and hungry."
2429(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
2430--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2431
2432[16:57] Hayashi Guren says, "Hello Eagleheart."
2433[16:57] Igleta just sits down.
2434(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2435--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2436
2437[16:57] Katrin Weiner whispers: You're... mad at me aren't you..
2438[16:58] Eagleheart says, "Hello."
2439[16:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "....."
2440[16:58] Hayashi Guren says, "I was wondering if you'd consider giving me some training in the art of healing."
2441[16:59] Mu cast his eyes across the town centre, noticing many familiar faces. Though, he didn't know many of them too well. In the end, he decided to head on over to Igleta.
2442
2443"Ya' hair looks nice today, I see you decided to let it down." he complimented, lowering himself onto the bench next to her. Hopefully no problem would arise from that!
2444(Mu Yuchian)
2445--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2446
2447[16:59] Eagleheart says, "It's, uh."
2448[16:59] Eagleheart asks, "... You know how to heal yourself, first off?"
2449[16:59] Katrin Weiner whispers: Can you please talk to me.. The whole thing of me not keeping things from you and noy lieing to you isn't going to work if you won't talk to me or get mad at me when I do tell you everything..
2450[16:59] Hayashi Guren says, "Yes...but only myself. I've yet to apply the technique on others."
2451[16:59] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh, yea, thanks. Val said I would look prettier if I let it down. I guess she was right, a lot of people have commented on it."
2452[17:00] Eagleheart says, "It's all about mentalization."
2453[17:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Kat, I just can't. I just can't right now, okay? We can talk about it, I don't know, somewhere else.
2454[17:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Sei!"
2455[17:00] Ei Sei asks, "...?"
2456[17:00] Wei Djao says, "Sei."
2457[17:01] Wei Djao says, "I've sold enough tickets that I'm going to start collecting the ticket fees."
2458[17:01] Katrin Weiner whispers: Then can we go somewhere else for a few minutes.. Please?
2459[17:01] Mu Yuchian asks, "I'unno who Val is but I guess she's pretty smart! How's ya' day been?"
2460[17:01] Ei Sei asks, "Huh.. How twelve multiplied by seven hundred?"
2461[17:01] Wei Djao says, "Seven fifty times twelve."
2462[17:01] Hanmyo holded her plate eating the fried eggs slowly looking at Astaria a bit puzzled by her question
2463"I... actually didn't have parents but, I have some people that i feel like they are my real family.
2464(Hanmyo)
2465--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2466
2467[17:02] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh man, Mu the Legend, my day has been absolute garbage."
2468[17:02] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Not gonna lie."
2469[17:02] Wei Djao says, "Let's see..."
2470[17:02] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Absolute, hot, disgusting, sloppy, garbage."
2471[17:02] Ei Sei says, "Here."
2472[17:02] Mu Yuchian asks, "Eh?! Anythin' I can do to help?"
2473[17:02] Wei Djao says, "Nine thousand yea."
2474[17:02] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Naaah. Don't wory about it."
2475[17:03] Nu whispers something.
2476[17:03] Jack Lorden says, "Figure therew ould be more potions if we can get truth potions."
2477[17:03] Jack Lorden says, "Like healing potions..."
2478[17:03] Nu whispers something.
2479[17:03] Hayashi Guren whispers something.
2480[17:03] "Awh!"
2481The monochromatically pale woman made a slight sound before reaching closer to Hanmyo, wrapping an arm around the girl's shoulders to pull her a little closer, in a mixture of feeling sorry about her and, perhaps, wishing to soothe whatever sorrows she had. Even if she didn't show any.
2482
2483"Well, that can't stand. If you're hungry, make sure you look for me, alright? And I'll arrange you a home somewhere around here."
2484(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
2485--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2486
2487[17:03] Mu Yuchian says, "Well, ya' could come 'round my house? I've got some pumpkin pie you can have."
2488[17:03] Ei Sei says, "Huh.. Your hair;"
2489[17:03] Ei Sei says, "*."
2490[17:03] Katrin sighed as she stood up, she turned to face Igleta and spoke.
2491
2492"I'll just... leave you alone.. good bye Igleta.."
2493
2494Katrin then walked away, assuming nobody stopped her.
2495(Katrin Weiner)
2496--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2497
2498[17:03] Nu whispers something.
2499[17:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Nah, I got a feeling my day isn't done being garbage. In fa-"
2500[17:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Whoosh, called it."
2501[17:03] Hayashi Guren whispers something.
2502[17:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hi Sei...I gotta do something."
2503[17:03] Mu Yuchian says, "Koume's been askin' for me to bring some guests arou-.. wait, wha-.."
2504[17:03] Igleta follows after Katrin.
2505(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2506--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2507
2508[17:03] Ei Sei says, "Sure."
2509[17:03] Astaria Rosenkreuz exclaims, "Kat!"
2510[17:04] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: You want to know why I'm mad? It's not about what you said, but what you chose to take from me....
2511[17:15] Igleta crossed her arms and just lost it. She had been trying so hard to control herself. "Look, I never try to make a scene, I don't like it. But, OH MY GOD KATRIN!!!! You literally tell me you would marry me, that you want to see me happy. I get it, I'm not the easiest person to read. My heart is a jumbled mess, but I keep trying to give it to you, and then you spit in my face. Every time I'm not around it's like you literally forget that I even exist until you're left alone. That's when you finally think about 'Oh yea, Igleta,' let's be honest here." A long exhale is given before she turns to look at the girl.
2512
2513"These are your OWN WORDS! 'I stopped being her maid so that way I don't have to ask permission to date you, to go on dates with you, or to marry you' et cetera. Then look at what you slap me in the face with, not even long later. You just admitted that you NEVER DID THAT! You never did it Katrin. How can she fire you, if you stopped being her maid in the first place? I know I seem stupid, I know I'm not the smartest person around, but I can do a freaking puzzle. I do pay attention to you, I pay attention to everyone around me. I just get lose in my imagination. Holy crap though, Katrin!" The youth sits down on the edge of the cliff.
2514
2515"You don't take me seriously, I'm just your pet. That's how you see me, you like to have me around so long as it benefits you. So long as things work out in your favor, then you're cool with it. It doesn't matter about the rest. You aren't happy with what you've got, but what you want. I mean dang, I told you I wasn't in love with you, but that I wanted to try to fall in love with you. I didn't want to lose, I really didn't. But now.....
2516
2517I don't know if I ever had you. I was just entertaining to you, I was different. So you took an interest, but you really just...I don't even know. I don't think I even know you, Katrin! Seriously! DO I KNOW YOU? YOU CLEARLY HAVE NO PROBLEM BEING HONEST ONCE I CALL YOU OUT, BUT WHEN I'M ASKING YOU THERE'S A BLATANT IGNORANCE! I just don't get it....." The child sits there in silence. Her face completely away from Katrin. Of course they had watered up, even if she wanted to appear strong right now, she couldn't. All she could do was fight back the want to burst into tears and whine like a baby, but the tears would still fall from her eyes.
2518
2519"Well, say something....."
2520(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2521--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2522
2523[17:32] Katrin sighed as she looked at Igleta, tears began to form in her eyes.
2524
2525"Igleta, I didn't take any of that from you.. when I said I stopped being her maid, its because that is what I was working on, so that I could do all of that with you, without needing someone's permission.
2526
2527I have never NOT thought about you, every thing I do, you are right there in the front of my mind, because I want to make things better for us.
2528
2529When she fired me, she permanently dismissed me from the HOUSE, that means I wouldn't be able to see you at all, I wouldn't be able to talk to you, hold you, kiss you, or any of that any time she was around because that would mean I was ignoring her order for me to stay away from her household, which you are a member of.
2530
2531When I stood up to her though? When I refused to kneel like I was some sort of slave? I showed her that I get to make my own decisions, that I get to determine what I do with my life, when I want, why I want, and for who I want. Not her.
2532
2533I do take you seriously, I take you more seriously than I do myself! I'm not the type of person who just tells everyone everything, but I'm trying to share everything with you, even though I know some of what I say might hurt you, I am not going to keep anything at all from you, and I try every moment to make the right choices, because I want YOU to be happy with me, Not Astaria… but YOU and only you.
2534
2535I am very happy with you, every moment with you puts a smile on my face, you've never been like a pet to me, and you have honestly had me since the night we first laid in the field just behind Azira's house."
2536
2537As tears began to roll down her cheeks she looked at Igleta. For once, it was Katrin to began sobbing in the middle of her words. but when Igleta started yelling at her what else could she do, she hurt the person she loved.
2538
2539"I didn't know what you were talking about right when you started asking me..I had just woken up. I promised you that I would never keep anything from you and wouldn't lie to you Igleta, and I meant it. I already gave you my heart, and fell in love with you, and I'm scared every day that I'm going to fuck things up just like I'm doing right now. You make me happy though, more happy than I feel I deserve to be, when things start to make me mad, you know what I think about? I think about your laugh, or your eyes, or your smile, or how it feels to hold your hand, or be in your arms, orjust sit next to you, because no matter what is bothering me, no matter how bad things get for me, thinking of you makes everything better. I try to tell you everything as soon as I possibly can, I really do... I am yours, not Astaria's, and I made that clear to her, I told her that I love you, like she does Ophelia, and that I want to marry you, she knows it all. At this point though, I don't know what I can do to make you smile, I feel like right now you don't think you matter to me... when in reality.. you're the only person who does truly matter.."
2540(Katrin Weiner)
2541--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2542
2543[17:36] Katrin Weiner says, "For 14 years.. I was taught to be silent.. to keep my wants and my desires to myself, my feelings hidden, and not to share anything... I am trying to be different from how I've been taught."
2544[17:47] ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ktQQpNPYc0 )
2545
2546Igleta wouldn't say anything as Katrin spoke to her, but hearing the older girl curse was a first. The youth would start crying not long after, especially when she heard Katrin start crying. She couldn't even remember when she had heard Katrin cry before. Was this the first time she actually hurt Katrin so deeply? The tiny brown-haired girl would come to a stand and walk over to the slightly taller Katrin, her arms would rush outwards to wrap around her. "Shut up, dang it." The little one would state. She hoped that her affection would be accepted without question. The tears still running down Igleta's face would be present, and she would acknowledge the pain that she had unleashed on Katrin.
2547
2548"Don't you understand it yet? Do you really not see it?" The little one would ask with her arms, hopefully, wrapped around Katrin. Her grip within the hug would tighten and she would pull Katrin closer to her. Sniffles would exude from her as she tried to clear herself as best as she could before she spoke these words, those words that she hoped she wouldn't ever have to explain. The normally pale skin of hers would start to change in color, her face growing a bright red especially.
2549
2550Suddenly, she pulls her head back so that she can smile at Katrin, despite the clearly visible tears upon her. "I'll follow you anywhere, it doesn't matter if she kicks you out. I only stay there for you, I only gave her mana for you, I only go to Dawn for you, I travel around for you, I run around towns to find you, I practice and try to get strong for you. As long as I'm weak you don't trust that I can protect you, but I want you to know I'm always here for you.... I said I wanted to try to fall in love with you, and I do know what that means. I know all the people that want to get in the middle of it and stop it, the people that want to replace us and fill in the gap with themselves, but I don't care... I don't care if I like them or not, you....."
2551
2552A deep inhale is taken as Igleta shoves her face into Katrin's dress. A low whine is made as she rubs her face against it. She wanted to embrace Katrin as best she could, she wanted to make the girl stop crying, she wanted to halt the pain that she had caused within her. The youth was so sure that Katrin was just going to leave after she said those things to her, and yet all she did was tell Igleta how much she mattered once again. No matter how badly Igleta tried to see if Katrin would just take the easy way out, she just didn't.
2553
2554"You were my first kiss, you're my first girlfriend, and I don't see why that has to change ever. I just want you to believe in me like I believe in you. When you tell me it's safe, I go. When you tell me to stay, I do. I'm willing to do everything I can for you. I didn't want to leave your side in Dawn, and so I risked being a traitor to Huangzho for it. I didn't care, I don't care. I just want you to see that. Cause....Cause I don't think you really see what I'm saying to you." She utters as she slowly pulls her face from Katrin's dress and stares into her face.
2555
2556"You're the one that noticed me and hasn't stopped.... So don't think that I'll ever just leave. I told you, 'I'll always forgive you.'
2557
2558"Can we go home?"
2559(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2560--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2561
2562[17:53] Katrin tightly hugged Igleta as she buried her face into her shoulder, the hug was almost desperate.
2563
2564"I have never seen you as weak you goof, I've told you that numerous times, I trust you with everything, my heart, my love, my body, and my life. The only reason I come to Huangzhou so much, is because the people here are your friends, I know they all hate me, but I don't care, I will still smile at them as if they are a friend because they're important to you, and you're important to me."
2565
2566Katrin wiped her face a little bit and leaned back to put her hands gently on Igleta's cheeks, she then leaned forward and put her forehead against Igleta's.
2567
2568"You are the only person I want to kiss or date, and I do believe in you, more than I think you know."
2569
2570She leaned in to kiss Igleta briefly, knowing her love didn't like long kisses, and once it stopped she nodded.
2571
2572"I would like to go home with you, but, can I propose something different? I want to go to a class tonight at the academy, and I was oping you'd come with me."
2573(Katrin Weiner)
2574--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2575
2576[17:55] Katrin Weiner says, "Oh, also, We've already been doing it, but standing up to Astaria like I did, made her see me as more of an adult, and she said you and I can use the same bed any time, we don't have to do it in secret."
2577[17:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "O-Oh."
2578[17:56] Katrin Weiner says, "I don't really know what would have happened if we got caught before... since I've... never been in trouble with Astaria.. and I'm kind of scared to find out"
2579[17:56] Katrin Weiner says, "She can get...quite angry"
2580[17:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "She seems so nice, though."
2581[17:56] Katrin Weiner says, "Sweety, I'm nice too, but I have a destructive side.. the person I killed.. they will never find the body.. because it doesn't exist anymore.. no bones.. no anything."
2582[17:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Come on, you're not supposed to keep telling me that, especially since you won't tell me who it was. You silly lover girl."
2583[17:58] Katrin Weiner says, "And yet, if you ask, I will tell you, even though it increases the chances of me being in danger, and it also means I.. could hurt you.."
2584[17:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Why would it hurt me?"
2585[17:58] Katrin Weiner says, "because everyone is your friend.. they probably were too"
2586[17:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hnnngh."
2587[18:00] Katrin Weiner exclaims, "I'm here!"
2588[18:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hi."
2589[18:01] Arthur Rowan says, "We take only our citizens to such expeditions."
2590[18:01] Arthur Rowan says, "It's hard to trust a stranger on a mission where you can die any moment. Regardless--"
2591[18:01] Lynna shrugs. She's a bit disappointed, but understands nonetheless.
2592(Lynna)
2593--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2594
2595[18:01] Arthur eyes the arrived people. He counts them inside his mind briefly, before exclaiming.
2596(Arthur Rowan)
2597--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2598
2599[18:01] Arthur Rowan asks, "All of you are here for Necromancy lesson, correct?"
2600[18:01] Katrin Weiner says, "Yes, Arthur."
2601[18:01] Lynna says, "<Wh-->"
2602[18:01] Sylvester Ruger says, "Indeed I am."
2603[18:01] Lynna says, "Ah, not I. Thank for the talk, Arthur. May we meet again."
2604[18:01] Arthur Rowan says, "It wasn't quite addressed to you, but yes, farewell."
2605[18:02] Lynna gets her exorcist ass outta there!
2606(Lynna)
2607--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2608
2609[18:02] Astaria Rosenkreuz exclaims, "Indeed!"
2610[18:02] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mhm."
2611[18:02] Arthur Rowan says, "Let's take it inside, then."
2612[18:07] Choosing to remove the Veil for at least time being, he allows the red locks to fall virtually on all sides while the hood is taken down- for the time being, his mask is placed on the desk behind himself, and he snaps his fingers to summon the Undead bodyguards he is often accompanied with to do his bidding.
2613
2614Though, are these even Undead? They hardly look rotten, and most look like exemplary knights of Valmasian Order.
2615
2616"Prepare the test subjects for this lesson, please."
2617
2618Soon enough, he turns his face to the students. It's clear that there are signs of battle- his neck is thoroughly bandaged, and his face bears the cuts that were in the process of healing, but he isn't phased by that. In a moment, he speaks.
2619
2620"Considering I've never seen any of you attend the Necromancy lessons, or at least, I do not remember you doing so, we'll begin with the basics."
2621
2622"There are four main points in the body that all Necromancers should know, and these points are extremely important."
2623
2624"Is there anyone who could name them, before I begin explanations?"
2625(Arthur Rowan)
2626--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2627
2628[18:07] Katrin Weiner says, "I can name a few, but not all."
2629[18:10] Katrin looked around at the pseudo undead, shehadn't really seen any that looks as well as these had.
2630
2631As soon as Arthur asked for four points, Katrin began to think.
2632
2633"The ritual.. to link the soul, the soul's ability to resist.. and actually calling it to the body.. those are the three that I know.. I do think that those are some of the main points... though I could be wrong."
2634
2635She looked around to everyone else to see if their answers were similar..
2636(Katrin Weiner)
2637--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2638
2639[18:13] So thats what the Ajudnicator looked like without his mask..But that wasnt the main reason of focuse. But regardless..he should have asked his brother. He /really/ should have asked his brother what the basics were..but then again he wasnt one to exactly...help.
2640
2641Once Arthur asked for the four main points in the body that all necromancers should know...it was a difficult one to answer but he tried his best.
2642
2643
2644"Uhm..Making sure the head is in tact still? That's...all that really comes to mind, I'm sorry."
2645
2646Slightly shrinking back into his chair for the uncertainty he carried before waiting for the others answers...Considering he might be whoefully wrong.
2647(Sylvester Ruger)
2648--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2649
2650[18:14] Astaria takes a seat on the wooden chair, her mirror-like silvery eyes scanning all over the room-- it was the first time she was here, and she was fairly unfamiliar with a 'schooling' environment such as this. Though she usually had enough focus to scan over everything to the smallest detail, her attention was rapidly taken away from the environment towards the undead bodyguards-
2651
2652-her eyes narrowing slightly, focusing entirely upon them instead. Indeed, Arthur's question went well over her head as she kept her eyes fixated upon the undead, analyzing every little detail about them-- most especially their rot, or lack thereof, at least compared to what a normal undead should look like. Though her mind did register the question, and the following answers, she couldn't snap out of staring at the bodyguards.
2653(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
2654--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2655
2656[18:17] Igleta's eyes would follow the removal of the mask. She had never really looked upon Arthur until just now, and it was pretty bizarre due to how normal he actually appeared. She always assumed that with how people were talking all of the so-called bad guys would appear grotesque and their magical abilities would be much the same. Instead, he appeared human just as the Undead that were called by him. The amount of rot on them wasn't even enough for her to truly write them off as walking corpses. It was so strange, the situation was very strange.
2657
2658The youth would listen to what he had to say, and the apparent test subjects being called in. It was more bizarre to see how Katrin answered his question. That was way out of what she was expecting. How long had Katrin been studying this stuff? Nonetheless, Igleta figured that she should be a good student and toss her hat into the race as well. "The magical circuits? Without them the body is pretty much uselessfor such a thing, right?" The little one would inquire.
2659(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2660--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2661
2662[18:22] So he was dealing with the people that had absolutely no experience whatsoever in actually performing Necromancy, nor they heard anything about it; it's almost a pity, really, but isn't that his purpose here to educate them all?
2663
2664"Katrin, you missed the point of my question entirely- it's about the body, not ritual. As for Sylvester, you covered a single main point. Igleta, mana circuits do not count for a main point - while they're important, mind you, they are not the 'center' of the ritual, if that makes sense to you."
2665
2666"The four main points are: head, heart, spine and stomach. The head contains memories and personality, and it's nigh impossible to call upon the soul with head destroyed. Heart helps to pump the mana, just as it pumps blood. Spine is responsible for motor function, and body will become unstable without it. Stomach is the well of the mana, and body will be depleted of its energy without that."
2667
2668"All of these components are necessary for a thorough revival, and count as main points, though head is by far the most important one."
2669
2670There's a pause, and the rotless Undead Knights bring in the boxes with open lids, each containing a single dead rat- it's placed before each student, even to Ophelia whom just arrived, and soon he continues.
2671
2672"Would there be anyone that knows how Necromancy ritual typically goes, or has observed one before?"
2673(Arthur Rowan)
2674--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2675
2676[18:28] Katrin nodded, she figured she might have gotten it wrong, and she did. It wasn't going to bother her though, that's why she was taking the class.
2677
2678She pulled out a piece of paper and began to jot down notes.
2679
2680Head, contains memories and personality, almost impossible to call soul without head.
2681
2682Heart, pumps mana and blood, without it, a replacement may be needed.
2683
2684Spine, provides support and motor functions, without it, body will be unstable.
2685
2686Stomach, the well of the mana for the body. If it's empty, the bodywill have no energy.
2687
2688Head is the most important portion though as the others can be replaced with prosthetics presumably.
2689
2690As the rat was unboxed and placed in front of her, Katrin studied it for a moment, she gently pressed her finger to various portions of it, being careful as she felt for various parts, she could clearly see the head, but wanted to make sure it's spine was in tact and not broken, it's stomach still there, and that there had been no damage to the rat's ribcage.
2691
2692Upon the question about necromancy rituals, Katrin kept her writing tool ready, it was a small feather with a pointed bottom, she dipped it a few times in the vial of ink on the desk as she slowly shook her head looking at Arthur.
2693(Katrin Weiner)
2694--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2695
2696[18:30] Igleta would blink several times. It was the first time that she had ever heard the mana circuits not being a crucial point in some form of magic. That actually made things somewhat interesting, even if this wasn't her preferred magic to be learning about. It was still different than others by that. The four points called out caused the little the one to rock her mind a little bit. Each one of those points were something she didn't really think were super important when it came to any form of magic, aside from the head. However, each one of them, save the stomach, also correlated into a casting type. At least that was the best way that she could match the importance of these things.
2697
2698"Dang." The girl would state before seeing the jars that were presented before each student. Just before she could start to think of how amazingly cool learning this stuff was. A single blink and a casual statement. "Oh, ew." With that she just looked over at Arthur. She was perhaps the furthest away from having seen anything of that sort here. So she would just sit in silence for the time being and see what everyone else had to say or what these dead rats were for. Of course, being a necromancy class she only assumed that somehow these dead rats were about to become undead in some fashion.... If not examined to be understand the same points Arthur just explained. Either way it went, that wasn't cool.
2699(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2700--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2701
2702[18:41] Ophelia arrives a little late, striding in quietly, before taking her seat in one of the middling rows, as the others are taken. She slips her pocketbook out of a pocket, placing it upon the table, sitting up straight, hands folded upon her lap and burning eyes upon the teacher. Though she missed his words, she did hear his recap, involving the guesses of the other students, including elaborating on the main points that need to be focused on.
2703
2704From a nearby inkwell, she brandishes a quill, jotting down notes in an elaborate cursive script, looking up at the Adjudicator a few times as she does so. Personally, these fine details are important to her, as she's not learned of them - However, she hopes to impress as the next question is asked, her smooth, cool voice calling out towards the teacher.
2705
2706"After Corpus Creare, putting the body back together, with some Patin Ligitus when required, replacing some components that are missing with prosthetics, as well as Viscus Vitae, putting some fluid within the body to help it work better...
2707
2708We prepare the ritual with specialized runes, and employ the Vox Quietus, a specialized incantation, using the body as a link, to recall the soul and bind it to the body. I hope this is correct. I'm using some terminology I learned during my studies as a child in Usurg… I may be missing steps or using the wrong terms, due to having studied a great time ago."
2709
2710Since the question was given, she asks a few quick ones of her own, gazing upon the rat quietly. She looks at it like a mere object, no traces of disgust upon her face, her burning eyes cold.
2711
2712"If I may ask... I was curious about a few experiments. What is the extent of Patin Ligitus? Could whole sectionsof a body be replaced with components from something else? Say a Kaor's spine for a human's, for example? What would occur if Chronomancy was used at the moment of death to revert a body?"
2713
2714She awaits his words, her own having been punctuated by smooth, subtle motions of her hands, ceasing as she falls silent.
2715(Ophelia de' Fiano)
2716--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2717
2718[18:42] It'd soon become apparent that the Neries wasn't very interactive overall, as she didn't reply the second question either-- instead, she pulled a small parchment along with quill and ink, placing them upon the table. Slowly dipping the quill in the ink, she started taking notes about what was previously said about necromancy-- the important parts, and why they were important.
2719
2720Once the dead rat was placed upon her table, she took advantage of this to peer closer to the seemingly rotless undead, her eyes narrowing a little-- only for a few seconds, however, before she realized it was probably rude to keep staring, averting her gaze towards the rat with a soft silvery flush running over her cheeks, eyes staying on the rat for the moment as she took notes.
2721
2722She was, perhaps, just about to answer, as her pale lips parted very hesitantly, until Ophelia's voice echoed, which made them close her mouth very quickly, lowering her gaze and taking notes as fast as she could-- mostly the terms spoken, in this regard. The usually softspoken Neries didn't seem like someone who liked to talk so much in this environment, after all.
2723(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
2724--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2725
2726[18:43] The head keeps everything in tact..and everthing else to fall in place. In order it appeared to be head, then the heart..followed with the spine and it ended with the spine. However dull his eyes were a slight glow in this oscuri's eyes as he quietly jotted down his interpertion of those words on his arm before..
2727
2728
2729Staring down at the dead rat in the box. A dead rat..hopefully it wouldnt turn out too badly if he messed up. But alas..Ophelia came in late before asking questions of her own. At least a good thing to ask in spite of him not asking anything.
2730
2731
2732
2733Though whether arthur was watching or not it didnt matter, and as quietly as he could..he decided to at least smooth down the dead rats fur. No sense in looking a mess even in death...Right?
2734(Sylvester Ruger)
2735--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2736
2737[18:50] Hearing no follow up to his question other than response from Ophelia, he turns his head towards her while the rotless Undead place the boxes with dead rats right infront of each student, choosing to answer her question before they proceed.
2738
2739"You are partially correct, Ophelia. It is best to retrieve the whole body, if possible at all, but prosthetics can do the job, if there's no way to restore the flesh of the body. As for the runes - they're not entirely necessary, least you personally prefer to cast magic that way. In my mastery of Necromancy, I discovered that runes can be used to improve the Art, but on basics, it's not a requirement."
2740
2741"Also, it is not just about binding the body. You actually need to channel your own mana into the four main points of the body- following that, you must spread the mana flow across all of remaining mana circuits."
2742
2743"It is advised for newbies to do it slowly. If you rush, you risk burning the circuits. If you do it too slow, the tug of magic will not be powerful enough to recall the body. None of you will be able to resurrect a human, due to complexity of our bodies--"
2744
2745"-- so instead, today, you will attempt to resurrect a rat through technique I described."
2746
2747"If you have any further questions, do ask. Otherwise, begin performing the process."
2748
2749And yet, his eyes turned towards Ophelia once more from the rest of the students, to answer her remaining questions.
2750
2751"It is highly discouraged to use body parts from someone else, because mana circuits from foreign body do not belong to the original. Why do you think resurrection in a new body has so many downsides? Because the soul is not attuned to that circuitry."
2752
2753"The more you replace, the worse it gets, really."
2754
2755"As for Chronomancy... I am yet to see Chronomancer powerful enough to actually reverse the moment of death. The most they can do, so far, is heal the flesh partially - Necromancy is the only known magic that can truly bring the dead back."
2756
2757(Arthur Rowan)
2758--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2759
2760[19:10] Astaria takes very careful notes on her parchment, keeping her eyebrows furrowed with the concentration for her notes to be precise, including Ophelia's terms, which are left aside for her to figure out how to fit everything later. Once the notes were done, she neatly organized it on top of the desk, slightly shifting it aside to focus on the dead rat, sighing deeply to keep her concentration, a level head, and raise a single hand above it.
2761
2762She focused upon her circuits, each step of its channeling; these were precise mental instructions that the Neries did, which required a fair amount of concentration, making her doze off from what everyone else was doing-- everytime the mana had to take the slightest shift in direction would require her to mentally direct it.
2763
2764However, it seems that Astaria was more used to taking rather than giving. Perhaps because of her recent weariness, or simply following her instinctive steps regarding the flow of mana, she in fact siphoned mana from the dead rat-- and being that the creature was already dead, there wasn't really anything to give. Instead, the creature's corpse rapidly began to wither away and, with the amount of force she applied to her siphoning, rupture.
2765
2766The burst came shortly after. Blood and guts splattered across the desk, over her carefully organized notes, her well kept clothes of nobility, all over her monochromatically pale face; a fair amount of blood would splatter on Sylvester's desk as well, not to mention a piece of ruptured intestines flying towards the man's face.
2767
2768Oops.
2769(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
2770--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2771
2772[19:17] Katrin nodded her head, listening to both Ophelia and Arthur as she continued to take various notes.
2773
2774Do not rush, you can damage mana circuits of the body, do not go too slow, magic will be too weak, you must channel your own mana into it, following the head, spine, heart, and stomach. If part does not exist, prosthetics can do the job, but not as well as a complete body. Further enhancements to the process can be done with runes, speak to Arthur about the runes.
2775
2776Katrin closed her eyes for a moment. She felt she may have an upper hand just slightly compared to maybe Igleta, Oscuri were rather well versed in necromancy, and Astaria surely would get it with no issue at all because she's just that amazing.
2777
2778The one thing that Katrin had going for her, was her ability to control raw mana itself, as well as touch the very outer area of a soul, or at least, use her cosmic magic in a way that temporarily weakened the soul itself.
2779
2780The hard thing for Katrin though, was only using a small amount. Everything she done, she had done her absolute best at, from fighting, to flirting.
2781
2782To hold back.. that was something she had not done before.
2783
2784She took a deep breath and opened her eyes, a mixture of both gold and blue energy gathered at the tip of her finger, she knew she couldn't use much considering the size of the rat. It's mana circuits would be much smaller, and not able to handle as much as Katrin could.
2785
2786Katrin's plan was to simply apply droplet after droplet until she could feel that the circuits were full.
2787
2788As two fingers were placed on the rat's head, she allowed a few drops to flow into the rat as she placed the mana covered finger near the rat's butt.
2789
2790She paused for a second, and then thought about what Arthur said, about the importance of the head. She removed her hands, and turned the rat over, she placed one finger near the rat's tail and slowed her breathing as the other finger began to let small amounts of mana flow into the rat.
2791
2792She could feel the mana beginning to flow through the rat's circuits as a pale blue light began to display itself, just barely visible through the rat's fur. She studied it closely as the lights began to travel down the rat, rolling it slightly so she could keep an eye on every portion to make sure things were going smoothly. Every few seconds, Katrin's head seemed to jerk slightly as she was directing the mana to flow through it's circuits, perhaps the mental focus caused her to do a bit of physical moving as well.
2793
2794As she allowed more mana to flow into the rat, she rolled the rat onto it's back, applying a very gentle layer of fluxuating gravity against it's chest to mimic compressions of it breathing and it's heart beating. Katrin felt that she rat was as full as she could get it without damaging it, and just before she stopped the flow, she felt something move. The tail gave the slightest of twitches, and she immediately stopped the flow of mana into the rat.
2795
2796She did keep up the fluxuation of gravity as she leaned down to the rat to release a breath fueled by the heat of cosmic energy over it, ever so slowly, she had hopes that warming it slightly would allow the blood to begin moving more freely, and as such the mana as well.
2797
2798After a few seconds, the rat began to stir, whatever Katrin had done seemed to work. The rat's eyes quickly shot open and it sprang to it's feet, it let out a high pitched screech and then briefly smelled Katrin.
2799
2800But then, something caught it's eye, It's head quickly turned to look at Igleta as it let out another screech. It didn't like something about her and Katrin quickly placed a hand infront of the small rat.
2801
2802She whispered to it.
2803
2804"No, she is mine."
2805
2806The rat in response rushed up Katrin's arm and into her sleeve, only to appear a second later just above Katrin's chest. It had left a small gift though on the table. A strange looking globule of something that at first, Katrin assumed was feces, but as she inspected it, she quickly looked at Arthur.
2807
2808"A-Arthur.. the skin on it's foot fell off..."
2809
2810Katrin wasn't exactly aware of how rapidly an undead would begin to decay but she got the feeling that her little rat wouldn't survive long.
2811(Katrin Weiner)
2812--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2813
2814[19:21] To spread the mana flow of his rieka into the rat...more importainly the four main points in the rat. Which..seemed so simply yet such a grandstanding task to this ruger...could he really do it?
2815
2816
2817"Lets...see if im up for this challenge anyway.."
2818
2819
2820A steady exhale before green whisps floated from the young ruger before they began to gently swarm the dead rat, though it looked much better than it did before..considering the time he took to make it look spiffy. Inkings of the green whisps that could readly be considered the mana that flowed through him dipped into the rat at a slow, yet steady pace.
2821
2822
2823First was the head. Rather unsure of..how to exactly start that part. He had a simply idea, like a water strainer straing out water from noodles. Draining his mana infused rieka into the rat. Green lines glowing against his skin as his focus was undettered..except for the explosion of rat guts next to him.
2824
2825From the head he felt the rest of the mana pull through, from the heart, to surging the spin with pure energy. to filling the well of the rat with his own mana. Bubbling and spiking like a rushing river bursting at the ends.
2826
2827After a few patient moments of waiting and the oscuri's intense focus the rat soon slowly..yet every so painfully lifted its head and opened its mouth, where as a small squeek would be heard..there was nothing. Just the opening and closing of the rats mouth before itself rose to a position of sitting at rest.
2828
2829
2830And then Astaria blew her rat up...With the decaying rat under his mana it couldnt save him from being splattered across his desk and a piece of ruptured intestines landed squarely on his face....But his father said to never waste a meal. And no matter how revolting it looked to everyone there he simply gave a half hearted shrug and..
2831
2832
2833Proceeded to slurp the intestines like it was spaghetti
2834
2835"I uh..think I did it? And..why is there blood all over ya' desk Astaria?"
2836
2837Cant help if the mans a little dense from time to time.
2838(Sylvester Ruger)
2839--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2840
2841[19:23] At the corrections made of the other, the young noblewoman deflates a little bit. Only a tiny bit discouraged at the new information. She thought it'd be rather interesting to cobble together a hybrid based off of different parts and see how she could advance her Lord's art. She's sure Lady Cho and other's might be upset if she does so on a human, but as for a non-human creature, like a Demon, perhaps even on their enemies, she could very well do it...
2842
2843Still, she is a discipline of Focalar, and will seek to advance her Lord's art, regardless, a hybrid could make something interesting for use in war, or even as an experiment. She nods along decisively to the corrections, though, even as her mind is considering her own plans.
2844
2845"Ah, I see. I was curious about taking up Chronomancy in order to test that idea... Though perhaps not, we'll have to see..."
2846
2847Regardless,she opens a nearby book upon the art, and, when directed, begins her attempt to bring back the rat, looking at it rather callously. A few blank pages of paper are removed, set around the creature, pinned to the desk to keep them from shifting. With that same ink she's using for writing notes, she begins to scribe the runes described within the book around the edges, to create a sort of ritual circle...
2848
2849She's no runescribe, but she is fairly good at copying them over, her ritual circle scrawled upon this paper a one-for-one representation of the one traditionally used. Afterwards, she begins checking the body for functioning as best she can as it's stiff from rigor, fingers feeling about its rib cage for signs of damage to heart, along its spine, over its head, and over stomach.
2850
2851Satisfied that it's whole enough, she sets it upon the middle of her ritual circle, her burning eyes only growing in intensity once she attunes her own circuits to the thick, potent lines of Rieka that run across her body, the channels flaring a brilliant electric-green visible through her clothes.
2852
2853Now comes the difficult part... She's no Energy magi, so the manipulation of raw mana is pretty hard for her. A standard incantation is spoken to allow control over the winds around her, as her eyes glow that vibrant green, gaze fixed on the rat before her.
2854
2855"Azrael, may the beating of your wings sweep the winds of change across this land..."
2856
2857With those hushed words, the winds dance around her, tugging at the corners of her pinned down paper ritual circle, and rippling through the fur of the rat. Ophelia rolls up her sleeves, revealing the burning lines of green upon her arms, and faces both palms outwards towards the creature. That dancing wind runs over pale flesh, motes of verdant mana rising, like dust from her Rieka-lines. It's brought towards the critter, swirling around it, before the winds direct the glistening motes to settle against the important areas of the creature. It's lucky she's not good at moving mana like this, just enough of that Rieka meeting the creature, as some is wasted, settling against table or floor and flickering out.
2858
2859Head. Heart. Spine. Stomach.
2860
2861Burning green funneled against them, forming a sort of link between her and it. Then, by the book, she speaks another hushed incantation to attempt to activate the ritual.
2862
2863"Azrael, allow my hands to be yours, to bring with it the compassion that you showed humanity, the compassion that led you to forsake the divine.
2864
2865Allow this creature to rise oncemore."
2866
2867The four points of the creature flare green for a moment, as it begins to stir, moving and twitching. Despite her compassionate incantation, her own gaze isstill callous, cold, and definitely curious. Still, it's stiff, and doesn't do a heck of a lot, it does seem alive. A momentary grin tugs upon her lips at her accomplishment. It's not so dramatic as the creature getting up and running away, she'd require Viscus Vitae to lubricate it's stiff body and reduce the pooling of congealed fluids within it upon the side it lays upon, however, it seems rather sustainable, even as her Rieka-lines die down and she ceases that windborne transfer of Rieka, it continues to writhe, squirm, and twitch.
2868
2869"Done, Adjudicator."
2870
2871She reports in a smooth tone, not paying too much attention to the others, and turning to her notebook to jot a few more notes down. Luckily, since Astaria sits infront of her, she blocked the rat explosion with her body, leaving Ophelia, clad in that wind of hers, spotless, rogue giblets deflected and unable to mar herpristine form.
2872(Ophelia de' Fiano)
2873--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2874
2875[19:29] Even though in theory they were unable to answer most of his questions, in the end, they were capable of following the instructions just fine; he acknowledges the work of the students infront of him, and even if some had very odd quirks about them, he's done his best to disregard that.
2876
2877After all, each has their own oddity, right?
2878
2879"Do not expect for your rat to last long in the flesh, Katrin. You're only starting, and he will decay quickly, until there's nothing but a skeleton. Though... you still have a chance to regenerate its flesh later on."
2880
2881"And well done Ophelia and Sylvester. You both have done it right."
2882
2883Certainly, he notices the failure that followed Astaria's attempt; rather than meeting it with a frown, he meets such with a smirk. Not everyone has their luck on the first attempt, after all, and he's the prime example of that. Then again, wasn't he a Master of this Art by now?
2884
2885He snaps his fingers for rotless Undead to bring in another box with the rat; truth be told, there was a supply with plenty of those, specifically designed to let the new Necromancers practice their Art. It's no harm that they toy around with rodents like that anyway.
2886
2887"Try again, Astaria."
2888
2889"Here. Let me show you something."
2890
2891He approaches, pointing at the rat's head- in a hushed tone, it seems he explains more, while showing around the rat's body.
2892(Arthur Rowan)
2893--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2894
2895[19:30] Arthur Rowan whispers something.
2896[19:30] Arthur Rowan whispers something.
2897[19:31] Arthur Rowan whispers something.
2898[19:31] Arthur Rowan whispers something.
2899[19:32] Promptly, his gaze turns towards the rest- his voice returns to that audible to the rest, before he speaks a question.
2900
2901"While Astaria is working, are there any questions any of you have?"
2902(Arthur Rowan)
2903--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2904
2905[19:35] While the ruger set about..promptly cleaning his portion of the desk. Rat long since decayed of its flesh in the minutes following that explination a question popped into his head...He didnt exactly know what types of necromancers there were.
2906
2907
2908"Err...What are the different type of necromancers if they could be classified as one...and what /is/ Chronomancy?"
2909
2910
2911By this point the now boney and frail rat was positioned on the rim of the rugers hat. helped and guided by more green whisps of mana.
2912(Sylvester Ruger)
2913--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2914
2915[19:35] So much had been stated in response to Ophelia and her many statements and questions. It was almost like listening to the founding of Eternia; just sheer craziness. The child shook her head trying to make sense of the various names and strange things being said. The weird magical schools that she hadn't even thought about, let alone learned of. It was on an entirely different level from what she was used to. However, all of this would pale in comparison to what Arthur had wanted each of the students to actually perform. The very things he had explained were to, now, be utilized in the act of Necromancy. She wasn't wrong in her assumption that these dead rats were to be revived and it only served to place an unfounded sense of fear within her body. She moved her hand towards the corpse of the rat and poked it for a moment.
2916
2917Despite knowing that she had no access to her magical circuits at the current time, she was intent on attempting this. It was a magic that was taboo where she was from, something that everyone wanted nothing to do with; except her twin sister. As the youth reached out and began to call upon her circuitry, to call upon her casting method to create and manipulate mana, something would answer. There was no sudden burning of her mana circuitry as punishment, there was no need for her magical catalyst this time, no, instead her very understanding of reality would suddenly become warped and unstable. As soon as the signal hit the many blockades that surrounded her mana circuitry, they would be sent to the very source of the blockade.
2918
2919
2920
2921That same voice spoke within her mind, that same voice that was patient before and even understanding. It was not the same anymore, it was powerful in its questioning. A tone that could not be mistaken for anything but sheer disappointment and anger. Suddenly, her sight was taken from her. The vessel that her essence was using had been placed an auto-pilot. All that it was doing was breathing nd maintaining the exact stance it had when her consciousness was pulled away from it.
2922
2923She found herself within the cosmos once again. That same brilliant energy resting before her, no, resting wasn't the correct way to explain it. While it looked the same no matter how one approached it, the very presence of this star was dominating. It felt no different than it did to be standing around Sei when he was barking orders and giving demands, or being within that strange gaze of Satsuki. A weight was placed upon her and that much she could understand.
2924
2925
2926
2927The words of the star fell upon the essence that was Igleta like a weight aiming to crush all that stood within its path. However, there was something different this time. She wasn't in that same position when she was first called before Noel. A simple suggestion was made and her voice would echo through, it would fall upon the ears of the star and no other. Forthere were no words that truly formed, only the thoughts of the essence, its very will reflected into truth. The burning resolve of the star would cause it to shimmer greatly.
2928
2929
2930
2931The star would seemingly move closer to the essence that was Igleta almost causing a burning sensation to take it over. It was a pain that couldn't be explain, it was simply suffering at the highest levels of complete damnation and destruction. It was the raw fury of the cosmic agents, the very strength of those who always work and watch without reward nor punishment.
2932
2933
2934
2935Upon this words connecting with the essence, the strength of the star would reveal itself as large tendrils of purifying light extended from it. Each tendril surrounding around the essence in a clear display of its raw power. However, more thought would race through the essence and become translated into words for the star to hear, for it to understand and investigate. The tendrils would retract and the cosmic agent would sit within silence for a time observing the essence before it.
2936
2937
2938
2939With those words, the essence began to fade from the star, almost like it was falling down from space itself. However, as it did a vision would appear. There was a shadow within the star, but whether it was real or not was beyond the capabilities of this essence. All that could be recognized from this shadow were four great wings extending from its back, each one flickering about like an endless flame yet an unstable flame as well.
2940
2941Suddenly, Igleta would find herself back into her own form. "What?" She would utter as she felt cold. This body, this place, it all felt subpar when compared to being in the presence of a cosmic agent. She just blinked several times finding herself holding a rat within her hand, that same dead rat that had been there from the beginning. She didn't even remember why she was in this place for a moment. Looking around and hearing Arthur ask if there were any questions, she would finally remember what was happening. This was a class for the Chaotic arts. A tutelage, a beginning, into the works of Necromancy.
2942
2943"In Necromancy, what is the actual process of calling a back, say, a person? Is there some incredibly difficult act in there, or is it the same as you just explained with this rat? Where all I have to do is move my mana through the four locations and do it just right, not too weak, and not too strong?" Her question didn't hold that same bubbly air about it like she generally had. Even her eyes were locked onto the rat while she asked this question. It would be placed upon the table and just left there as she used a thumb to touch the skin underneath rat's eye.
2944(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
2945--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2946
2947[19:40] The praise is met with a pleased grin, oncemore appearing upon her face. She folds her hands together, sitting up straight and proud, evidently quite pleased in herself. Her rat continues its unlife, forgotten by her, and she resists the urge to cull it, might as well let them reuse the creature.
2948
2949After a few moments, she turns her attention to her notebook, recording her observations with a deft hand, producing elaborate cursive marks. Casually, she answers Sylvester's question.
2950
2951"Manipulation of the time stream."
2952
2953She doesn't look up, and her smooth words are told in a more casual tone of hers.
2954(Ophelia de' Fiano)
2955--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2956
2957[19:46] It's a good question that Sylvester brought up- indeed, there were many types of Necromancers, though... there's no real way to classify them, other than dividing them by ability.
2958
2959"There are no real 'classes' of Necromancers."
2960
2961"There are, however, different branches of Necromancy, such as: Biomancy, Soul Transfer, Homunculi Creation, Purification and Cleansing, Lichdom, etcetera. Personally, I specialize in Purification and Cleansing, along with Soul Transfer, and I'm currently studying Biomancy. I intend to study Lichdom as well."
2962
2963Since the other question was answered by Ophelia, he simply nods in agreement to her words, before his attention turns to Igleta.
2964
2965"By fuelling the body in the specific way described and establishing the link to the soul through physical host, you draw the soul back from purgatory to rejoin with its body, Igleta."
2966
2967"In a sense, you're retrieving the soul from cosmos. There are some moral issues surrounding that, such as forcibly keeping people as Undead against their will, but ah--"
2968
2969"Many magics can be used in wrong ways. I prefer to think that Necromancy is an imperfect tool with great potential that can be improved - the Statue, my own project, being an evidence to that."
2970
2971"Otherwise, yes. Exercise that process, and you should improve it."
2972(Arthur Rowan)
2973--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2974
2975[19:47] Arthur Rowan says, "Do keep in mind there /are/ Necromancers that keep hundreds as their slaves, against their will. I've killed such before. <he addresses to Igleta>"
2976[19:48] Arthur Rowan says, "But to blame a tool rather than a person is ignorant, at best."
2977[19:48] Arthur Rowan says, "Swords don't kill people. People kill people, by using swords."
2978[19:48] Arthur Rowan says, "Same goes to Necromancy and its issue with slavery."
2979[19:49] Ophelia de' Fiano says, "Mm. Only the repressed or primitive would fail to understand such a distinction."
2980[19:49] Ophelia de' Fiano says, "Like those in the south who tell mad stories of us..."
2981[19:50] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "...."
2982[19:50] Arthur Rowan says, "Correct. There are bad apples that use Lord's Art in a wrong way, but same can be said about many other Arts and types of magic."
2983[19:50] Sylvester Ruger says, "I see.."
2984[19:52] Arthur Rowan says, "Mm... there is actually a story of a girl, called Delilah."
2985[19:52] Arthur Rowan says, "It's a shame that neither Bei nor Gideon are here. They could tell a lot about it as well."
2986[19:52] Arthur Rowan says, "On one of expeditions, we've found a girl of age eleven. Turns out, she was killed by the Necromancer holding onto a Spire Shard, and brought back as Undead."
2987[19:53] Arthur Rowan says, "I've been working a lot to give her a second chance, as well as many other people. As a matter of fact--"
2988[19:53] Arthur Rowan says, "-- we could even call her here."
2989[19:54] Sylvester Ruger asks, "We..We could?"
2990[19:54] Arthur Rowan says, "Yes. She's typically by the Research Facility. I can easily send one of my bodyguards for her."
2991[19:54] Arthur Rowan says, "Though--"
2992[19:54] Arthur Rowan says, "I found her in a state of rot. Her face was... falling off."
2993[19:54] Arthur Rowan says, "Now she's whole. Almost."
2994[19:55] Arthur Rowan says, "I'm on the road of discovery to make the bodies function biologically again. She could even mature into a woman from a girl, despite dying at age of eleven."
2995[19:55] Sylvester Ruger asks, "I see...but what else is missing?"
2996[19:56] Arthur Rowan says, "The rot still persists. It's not easy to defy the grip of Death."
2997[19:56] Arthur Rowan says, "If it were so easy, Valmasia wouldn't be stuck for decades and centuries improving their Art."
2998[19:58] Sylvester Ruger asks, "I see..but ah..a follow up question..ish. Im not exactly the brightest but...if one who masters the art of say controlling death, like a death magi...wouldn't they be able to ease the grip of death to a certain degree?"
2999[19:58] Arthur Rowan says, "No, Sylvester. It is why I do not enjoy... the presence of Death magi."
3000[19:58] Arthur Rowan says, "Death Magic destroys soul. It does just that, nothing else."
3001[19:58] Arthur Rowan says, "Necromancy can tinker with the soul."
3002[19:58] It took some time for the Neries to actually be able to properly move after she had blood and pieces of ruptured intestines all over her face and clothes, though she made very quick silent nods to Arthur in acknowledgement of his words-- she listened to them and understood them well, she just couldn't quite speak right now. Or move. Or do anything at all but admire the sheer disgusting situation she found herself at..
3003
3004..and the fact that Sylvester just are a fucking dead rat's raw intestines. That was pretty horrible too.
3005
3006Eventually, Astaria furrowed her eyebrows, being surrounded with a raw energy. It was silvery in colour, looking like power being drawn from the Dreamer herself-- fairly ordinary for what the Neries as a race could do, though there weren't many left in Dawn. Channeling her energy towards the guts and the blood on her hands and clothes, those quickly began to evaporate or otherwise turn to ash.
3007
3008"Gross", she mutters under her breath, and it would take a little bit of time for her to concentrate again after having something like this happen to her. Sighing deeply, the woman went over her notes one more time, taking in Arthur's whisper to her in consideration, connecting the dots between what was said just now and what was written.
3009
3010Focus on the head first. The most important part. Without the head, there are no memories, there is no personality.
3011
3012Focus. She needed something to focus herself on. Biting her lower lip, the Neries reached for her quill and a new piece of parchment-- a circle would be drawn on it, where she'd place the rat on its center. With the head turned downwards, towards her, she'd write on the parchment, close to the head,
3013
3014Nunasuhur
3015
3016A deep breath was taken. First,the head. She moved towards the other parts of the dead rat, then, visualizing them upon the parchment, itself, where she would make small lines in specific angles, each related to a different word,
3017
3018Heart - Zinz
3019Spine - Rsi'auhsuhsil
3020Stomach - Uhruhsphil
3021
3022The words wouldn't make any sense to many people that looked at them, perhaps, but they made sense to the Neries, and helped her adjust her focus-- that was enough. Raising her hand on top of the dead rat, she took a deep breath as her mind slowly reached that state of concentration where the rest of the conversation faded away, like background noise; nunasuhur, her mana slowly being drifted towards the head. Mana flowed slowly and with precision, especially compared to before, as she reached for the connection to the soul; zinz, her mana was slowly being fed to the animal'scorpse, where it could be fed to the rest of the body through the heart; rsi'auhsuhsil, her mana was fed through the rat's spine, allowing it to truly rise, making it so its body would truly hold; uhruhsphil, the mana was channeled through the body where it could be stored, for the small animal to have a sustenance.
3023
3024"Nunasuhur zinz rsi'auhsuhsil uruhsphil"
3025-and slowly, the dead rat started to rise from the parchment it had been placed on, with the ink used to inscribe the words fading away due to the mana channeled through them. Its flesh was rotting away very rapidly, as was expected, though the creature's skeleton would stand.
3026
3027A weary sigh came out of her lips as Astaria slumped back on the chair, wiping some sweat off her forehead. Regular magic was difficult enough, taxing on her mind, and to learn something new was always quite the challenge-- hence why she didn't usually answer questions when in a classroom environment.
3028(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3029--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3030
3031[19:58] Sylvester Ruger says, "Ah...I see-"
3032[20:06] Katrin remained silent for now just listening to everyone, she did smile as she looked down and pet the rat between her skin and the fabric that covered her chest. A hand was brought over to pet the small beast, and a sigh released as that pet caused skin tissue to sluff off of the rat's head revealing clean skull.
3033(Katrin Weiner)
3034--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3035
3036[20:06] A simple nod of acknowledgement, almost as if to himself, to the fact that Astaria finished up her task- he turns his attention to one of the rotless Undead that served as Arthur's bodyguards, and he nudges him with an order.
3037
3038"Have her bring in the practice stones."
3039
3040With that, he turns his attention to the group- he can almost feel that some were put off by certain things, specifically, Igleta - perhaps it was a culture shock for her, or she could not fathom that things could be used in myriad different ways other than what she's been taught, but--
3041
3042-- he doesn't blame her for that. Indoctrination is a powerful thing.
3043
3044"We'll continue in just a bit."
3045
3046- - -
3047
3048And that bit comes fairly soon.
3049
3050A girl, clearly a child too, holding onto small box, walks inside the classroom; her skin is fair, almost pale, and while she looks almost sort of unnaturally pale, she does not seem as if there's anything wrong about her- as a matter of fact, she seems to be well taken care of.
3051
3052She approaches to Arthur, offering a single stone to him, which he holds up to show to the students- his other hand briefly brushing against her hair in approval- before she walks past every table and offers them a stone-per-each, too. She smiles along the way, but she remains silent... a mute, perhaps?
3053
3054"Meet Delilah. Unfortunately, she's mute, so she cannot greet you verbally."
3055
3056
3057"Anyhow, these stones will be used for your practice, to make sure you're prepared to move onto mana flow of bigger corpses. You should practice with these stones, channel your mana into it, and try to be quicker with each time or invest more mana."
3058
3059"If it glows green, you were successful. If it becomes hot to the touch, you invested too much mana and too quickly. If it blacks out, you invested too little and too slow."
3060
3061"--And don't worry. They won't break. These match mana capacity of a human body, so it's a perfect practice tool. They return to default state in ten minutes after mistake."
3062
3063"This is, by all means, your homework. Any questions?"
3064(Arthur Rowan)
3065--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3066
3067[20:13] A curious examination finds this particular undead, gazing upon them for a while. It is certainly curious to see such a whole undead, though rot-ridden ones don't particularly cause the mainlander alarm either. Fruit of the Adjudicator's plan. Notes are gathered up and twitching rat left where it is, the woman climbs to her feet, giving a deep bow, an arm crossed over chest.
3068
3069"Thank you for the lesson, Adjudicator. I will need to be heading out in a moment, but I learned much."
3070
3071With her words given, she strides over, gently taking a practice stone from one of the helpers, before striding alongside Astaria, a gaze finds her work, a small smile is given to her, and a hand is brought to the side of her face to ever-so-casually tuck a few rogue locks of white behind one of the Neries's ear in a surprisingly doting and gentle gesture. Then the Oscuri departs!
3072(Ophelia de' Fiano)
3073--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3074
3075[20:14] Katrin studied t he stone and Delilah, she began to jot down notes once again.
3076
3077Green is good, hot is too much, black is too slow..for the stone and the stone only. They posess a ten minute cooldown.
3078
3079As Arthur explained that it was homework she smiled, she was hoping to practice this in her down times. It sure beat killing more Oscuri.
3080
3081"I have one question, you stated before that Qilin are simple homunculi, something Dawn far surpassed ages ago. Okay, actually two questions.
3082
3083Is there ever a time where Jianghu will surpass using homunculi and further their study of necromancy?
3084
3085The other question is.. well, why exactly do they view necromancy as bad when they themselves use a branch of it.. soul transference."
3086(Katrin Weiner)
3087--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3088
3089[20:14] stumbles in the classroom as he looks around at everyone, waving towards everyone from the entrance. He looked lost and confused honestly, absorbing the situation momentarily before deciding what to do exactly.
3090(Lak'ir)
3091--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3092
3093[20:14] Igleta had her question answered by Arthur and she was thankful for such a thing, but her expression wouldn't change, nor would her attention for some time. She just sat in silence as the others continued to converse, and even when the little rat that Katrin had revived had some quarrels with her being there. She was distant, but it was to be expected. Out of body experiences with a star, outside of meditation, was borderline impossible. She didn't even feel like a living person in the current time. Almost like a mere tool in the giant universe that she was part of.
3094
3095Regardless, a small child would enter the room and hand a stone to Arthur. Igleta's stare would meet the girl who she would soon learn was a mute. It was the first one that she had ever met and apparently that meant was incapable of speech. The expression of the child was something interesting, but the stone that she carried even more so. Igleta looked upon it and listened to Arthur's explanation as the child brought the stone to her and Katrin who sat at the same table. Those steel eyes would gazed and she took hold of it adding it to her satchel before giving a nod.
3096(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
3097--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3098
3099[20:17] Sylvester Ruger says, "Well...thank ya' for the lesson but, I think its time for me to bowl out and...wash this taste from my mouth. Goodnight Adjunicator."
3100[20:19] He merely shakes his head to Katrin's question.
3101
3102"No. They will not. They will never advance any further."
3103
3104"The Qilin were invented by the Emperor, as far as our sources are correct. Jianghu abolished all sorts of Necromancy other than creating a Qilin, and even then--"
3105
3106"-- they simply made a fancy word for it, rather than accepting things for what they are."
3107
3108"They view it as bad because of Azrael's past mistakes. In a sense, they're using something that has happened thousands of years ago against us, simply because we're willing to use the tool we were given and improve on it. Though--"
3109
3110"I suppose I can somewhat understand where their concern comes from. They never bothered to learn us better, so the history from thousands of years ago is all they have."
3111
3112"Anything else?"
3113(Arthur Rowan)
3114--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3115
3116[20:20] Katrin Weiner says, "I see, thank you for your time Arthur."
3117[20:21] Lak'ir asks, "Oi, end of class?"
3118[20:21] Arthur Rowan says, "Yes. You're very late."
3119[20:21] Lak'ir says, "Hmph. That is bad. I always seem to get to places, when everything is ending haha."
3120[20:21] Arthur Rowan says, "Bad luck."
3121[20:21] Lak'ir says, "I'd say."
3122[20:25] Placing a hand softly upon the desk, her undead pet rat rapidly ran across the desk towards her hand-- what's little of its rotten left rapidly decaying and peeling away with the sudden movement, as the small critter crawled over her arm towards her shoulder, making the Neries giggle softly. Her silvery eyes shifted towards Arthur as she folds the parchment previously used to make the circle and its inscriptions, nodding at the Adjudicator.
3123
3124"Gross, Sylvester" she mumbled at the Oscuri, audibly so, as she reached to get one of the stones, examining it carefully and curving her head politely in gratitude to the pale girl. Mirror-like silvery eyes shift towards Arthur, pondering about whether to ask what she wanted or not-
3125
3126-a silvery flush washes over her cheeks as she decides to ask it. Her voice soft and smooth, she spoke very sheepishly, as if speaking in such an environment was difficult for her.
3127
3128"Uhm.. what is a Lich, precisely? What.. defines a Lich."
3129(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3130--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3131
3132[20:27] The boy flips around on the heels of his feet figuring since the class was over there was nothing more he could do here. He had heard some rather strange things from the surrounding people, though he didn't put much thought into it since he missed the class entirely. The smile of his face was still present as he waved to everyone a quick goodbye as he exited the room swiftly. His bad luck couldn't continue forever right? Eventually he will make it somewhere as things are going on. He hoped.
3133(Lak'ir)
3134--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3135
3136[20:27] That's an easy question.
3137
3138"Lichdom is a process of binding your soul in order to achieve immortality. It is, by all means, true immortality."
3139
3140"I shall not speak more than that, considering that Lichdom is a sacred ritual by and for Valmasians, and should it fall into wrong hands, or even the knowledge of it, a great disaster could happen."
3141
3142"You'll learn more once you're actually a Necromancer."
3143
3144There's probably a good reason he's hiding it...
3145(Arthur Rowan)
3146--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3147
3148[20:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang...."
3149[20:31] "Absolutely", a soft smile spreads across Astaria's pale lips as she curves her head in gratitude to Arthur. Standing once more, she started to clean up the top of her desk-- most notably, the parchments which she used and the rotten skin, peeled away from the dead rat, so that she could toss it away. The skeleton rat still stood on the Neries' shoulder, looking around inquisitively, as she offered a hand to Igleta, as to help the girl stand, her silvery eyes still set upon the Adjudicator.
3150
3151"Thank you for your kindness, Arthur."
3152(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3153--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3154
3155[20:33] Igleta would take Astaria's hand and stand with her, following behind her once she finally chose to leave. However, until she did leave the youth would speak towards Arthur. "Hey, Arthur. You told my sister a few things about Necromancy... I was hoping you could tell me those things sometime as well. There's somethings I really want to know about it. Sorry that I wasn't very good in class, I'm having problems with my mana right now."
3156(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
3157--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3158
3159[20:34] A simple nod back to the Neries.
3160
3161"You're most welcome. Good luck in your studies."
3162
3163Though, with that, his head turns towards Igleta. He wasn't entirely sure as to what exactly she meant, considering that he covered all of the material he's spoken to her sister, but... maybe she meant complicated techniques of Necromancy, or she had struggles with some of it?
3164
3165"We've covered the material that I told to your sister in class just now, but sure. If you need reminder of something, or help with your issue, then simply ask."
3166(Arthur Rowan)
3167--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3168
3169[20:34] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, well a reminder will be helpful, especially when I can put it into practice."
3170[20:35] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Thank you."
3171[20:35] Arthur Rowan says, "Mm. I can imagine that. <he says, while putting back on the Veil.>"
3172[20:36] Arthur Rowan asks, "If that is all?"
3173[20:36] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mhm."
3174[20:36] Arthur Rowan says, "Farewell, in that case."
3175[20:36] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "You're going back to Huangzhou, aren't you?"
3176[20:37] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I am, yes."
3177[20:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Will you take me?"
3178[20:38] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Of course, dearie."
3179[20:38] Katrin Weiner says, "What shall I do with..hmm... I need to name him."
3180[20:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Can we stop by the house first?"
3181[20:38] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Are you bothered by something, Igleta? I can help you soothe your doubts, if you so desire."
3182[20:38] Astaria reaches to the girl's hair, ruffling it affectionately.
3183(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3184--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3185
3186[20:38] Katrin Weiner asks, "What should I name my rat?"
3187[20:38] Igleta has her ruffled, but unlike any previous time her smile does not appear.
3188(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
3189--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3190
3191[20:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "It's just complicated. I don't even understand, honestly. When I get it better I'll ask you. I hope that's okay."
3192[20:39] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Of course, dearie. Whatever you're comfortable with. You know that you can count on me for anything, right?"
3193[20:39] Katrin Weiner asks, "Isit the reason you spaced out like you did when you gave lady Astaria some of your mana?"
3194[20:39] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Anything."
3195[20:39] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I'll always be there for you."
3196[20:39] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I think so Kat, I don't know. It's weird...."
3197[20:40] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Thanks Astaria."
3198[20:40] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "And thank you for being nice to Kat."
3199[20:40] Katrin Weiner says, "Well,if you want to talk about it, you know I have ears, they work sometimes."
3200[20:41] Katrin Weiner says, "Letty, help me name my rat"
3201[20:41] Nodding slowly, Astaria wraps both of her arms around the girl to pull her closer into a tight hug, slowly running her fingernails over her scalp, her fingers going through her hair, with motherly affection.
3202
3203"Let's get to the house, yes?"
3204(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3205--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3206
3207[20:43] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
3208[20:43] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
3209[20:43] Igleta would be pulled into the hug and would return the sentiment. Of course, the fingernails going into her scalp would have a similar, yet weaker, effect like the first time. She would shiver for a moment from the sensations that it caused. The act was still foreign, but her time with Astaria was making it more commonplace than perhaps it should have been. "Yes, please. I need to grab somethings. Oh, and how about Sebastion, Katrin? Please don't bring it to Huangzhou, they won't take it lightly." She explains.
3210(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
3211--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3212
3213[20:44] Astaria smiles warmly to Igleta, lifting the girl with an arm still wrapped around her waistline tightly, picking her up-- assuming she allowed it to happen.
3214(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3215--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3217[20:44] Katrin Weiner says, "Eh... I don't really like Sebastion... It's too long. Actually.. I got it..I want to name him after my star. Raksis."
3218[20:45] As a non-magi resistance would have been futile even if she had attempted. The youth would be lifted by her waistline by Astaria and held by the woman. "Woah." She stated as she was easily lifted from the ground. Magi were truly overwhelmingly powerful beings. "Dang, you're super strong Astaria." The little one would state.

3221
3222[20:46] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Just when I need to be, my dear."
3223[20:46] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Shall we go, Kat?"
3224[20:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "I'll be back!"
3225[20:49] Igleta squirms.
3226(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
3227--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3228
3229[20:49] Katrin Weiner says, "I look forward to it."
3230[20:49] Astaria nods swiftly at Igleta, reaching closer to plant a soft kiss on the girl's cheek before putting her down.
3231(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3232--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3233
3234[20:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I-I can't get free. You're really str-"
3235[20:50] Igleta is kissed on the cheek. She blinks once as she set down and quickly rushes upstairs!

3246[20:51] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Hello, dearie."
3247[20:51] Katrin Weiner says, "To answer your question lady Astaria, no."
3248[20:52] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Are you hungry, Igleta?"
3249[20:52] Katrin sets Raksis on the ground "Go upstairs and wait in my bed, we will play when I return." Raksis quickly darted up the stairs.
3250(Katrin Weiner)
3251--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3252
3253[20:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Uh huh."
3254[20:52] Katrin Weiner says, "Well... I guess Arthur was right because there went most of his skin on the steps.."
3255[20:53] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Mm.."
3256[20:53] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "I'll get you a little something once we're there. Is that alright?"
3257[20:53] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
3258[20:53] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Sure!"
3259[20:53] Astaria Rosenkreuz exclaims, "Wonderful!"
3260[20:53] Katrin Weiner says, "oh right, lady Astaria, I have nearly twelve thousand coins now after the encounter with the volcano bandit"
3261[20:53] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Now give me a hug, dearie."
3262[20:54] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Ah? Twelve thousand?"
3263[20:54] Katrin Weiner says, "Mhm."
3264[20:54] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "You're always full of little surprises, Kat."
3265[20:54] Igleta gives Astaria a big ole hug!!
3266(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
3267--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3268
3269[20:54] Katrin Weiner says, "Also, Eiphraem is working on something for me, it did cost me four thousand five hundred coins, but he's making me twenty seven potions that I need."
3270[20:55] Astaria hugs the girl back with a warm, happy smile spreading across her lips. She hugs tightly, though not enough to actually hurt-- it was affectionate, and the Neries seems to legitimately enjoy it, with concern over Igleta and her well being.
3271(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3272--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3273
3274[20:55] Katrin Weiner says, "Speaking of which... he could be awake if you wanted to speak with him."
3275[20:56] Katrin Weiner says, "May I be excused for one moment?I need to put stuff away before we go."
3276[20:56] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Of course, Kat."
3277[20:56] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Igleta?
3278[20:56] Igleta attempst to return the tight hug that was placed on her, but her strength would just be subpar. "D'awwwww. That's a good hug!!" The youth would state in a rather excited tone. It seemed she had forgotten about the chat with her star, at least for the time being. She did her best to return the affection.
3279(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
3280--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3281
3282[20:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Yeah?
3283[20:56] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: You know I love you as if you were my own, yes?
3284[20:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Y-Yeah. Why do you ask?
3285[20:56] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: And you know you can count on me, right?
3286[20:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: M-Mhm!
3287[20:57] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: If you're ever in doubt.. in trouble..
3288[20:57] Katrin Weiner asks, "I don't know where Ophelia went... so could you give this to her?"
3289[20:57] Astaria makes a motion, as if asking for Kat to wait.
3290(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3291--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3292
3293[20:58] Katrin OBEYS NO GOD AND SHE STILL PUT THE FUCKIN PAPER DOWN.
3294(Katrin Weiner)
3295--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3296
3297[20:58] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I'm here for you. I just want to make sure you know that.
3298[20:58] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: That you can talk to me.
3299[20:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: What's wrong? O-Oh. I do come to you, when I can find you, I mean.
3300[20:59] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I'll try to make myself more available to you.. I'm sorry.
3301[20:59] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: It's fine!
3302[20:59] Astaria nods with a brief smile, ruffling Igleta's hair playfully.
3303(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3304--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3305
3306[21:00] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I love you, dearie.
3307[21:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: D'awwwww. You're silly.
3308[21:00] Igleta returns a smile to Astaria as her hair is ruffled.
3309(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
3310--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3311
3312[21:00] Astaria giggles, reaching with an arm around Igleta's waistline and pulling her closer to lift the girl and pick her up again.
3313(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3314--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3315
3316[21:01] Igleta is lifted up once again. It was so different being carried and not flying around! Though, she was still off of the ground and that was pretty cool.

3320[21:02] Farin Wray says, "No Bikini."
3321[21:02] Ilonnia Wray says, "Short skirts and low-cut shirts, Ithaca?-- Oh, I have a red one."
3322[21:02] Okoto Iya whispers something.

3328[21:02] Ohtli says, "Technically Conall's dead. There's no chance of you killing him now. But I'm a woman of my word."
3329[21:02] Farin Wray exclaims, "Wait!"
3330[21:02] Kestrel exclaims, "You can't just touch people!"
3331[21:02] Katrin Weiner asks, "Lady Iosefka, is lord Eiphraem busy right now?"
3332[21:02] Farin Wray exclaims, "Too much is goin' on!"
3333[21:02] Ilonnia Wray says, "Heh."

3347[21:03] Ohtli asks, "A horn?"
3348[21:03] Farin Wray says, "Guh."
3349[21:03] August says, "No, wait..."
3350[21:03] Ohtli asks, "Like, a daemon horn?"
3351[21:03] Farin Wray asks, "What, I gotta ask ya?"
3352[21:03] August says, "A fang."
3353[21:04] August says, "Something Lusion killed."
3354[21:04] Ohtli says, "Oh. Might've been that snake."
3355[21:04] Falen says, "Strange i feel i needed to say something to you but...it slips my mind."
3356[21:04] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Ah?"
3357[21:04] August says, "I don't mean to brag, but out of Yue, Ithaca and me..."
3358[21:04] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I'm curious, now."
3359[21:04] August says, "I got the best Ookami~"
3360[21:04] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
3361[21:04] Windsor says, "...Huh."
3362[21:04] Kestrel says, "What does that mean...."
3363[21:05] Ohtli says, "There you are, Windy."
3364[21:05] Iosefka Coza whispers something.
3365[21:05] Ohtli says, "Zoldak's not here to work on the armor, but Ithaca's here for the work on her spear."
3366[21:05] Farin Wray asks, "I gotta ask ya to touch those ears, now?"
3367[21:05] Ohtli whispers something.
3368[21:05] Windsor asks, "Right, right -- is that really you, dude?"
3369[21:05] Katrin Weiner whispers something.

3378[21:06] Iosefka Coza says, "THEY'RE HELPING ITHACA'S SPEAR."
3379[21:06] Iosefka Coza says, "WATCH THEIR PROCESS."
3380[21:06] Windsor says, "Oh. Yeah."
3381[21:06] Iosefka Coza exclaims, "YOU'LL BE HELPING THEM FROM HERE ON OUT!"
3382[21:06] Windsor says, "Yeah, we're doing that."
3383[21:06] August says, "I mean I could, but I've already got a lot on him."
3384[21:06] Ithaca Blackwater says, "I'm back, with that. "
3385[21:06] August exclaims, "Okay!"
3386[21:06] Iosefka Coza exclaims, "WHATEVER! JUST GO GET IT DONE, YOU TOADS!"
3387[21:06] Ithaca Blackwater says, "So I need the spear, and those two objects purified."
3388[21:06] Windsor says, "I guess we should head over to the Workshop then, huh."
3389[21:06] Ilonnia Wray asks, "Are we watchin' each other, Io'?"
3390[21:06] August exclaims, "Purification squad! Roll out!"
3391[21:06] Ohtli says, "Auggie, if I didn't like you so much, I'd have to hit you for saying that."
3392[21:06] Iosefka Coza exclaims, "NO YOU'RE FINE, ILONNIA!"
3393[21:06] Ilonnia Wray says, "STOP YELLIN'."
3394[21:06] Ohtli asks, "Where...where are we even going for this?"
3395[21:07] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hi Ilonnia."
3396[21:07] Ohtli asks, "The tavern?"

3399[21:07] Windsor says, "Let's -- let's just go to Iosefcall's forge."
3400[21:07] Ohtli says, "Sure."
3401[21:07] Ilonnia Wray says, "Hi Iggy. "
3402[21:07] Falen would shift his steps. It was a while back ago. He had meant to tell this Neries woman something. What was it? He been gone for a bit. So his memory didn't linger to much on the topic.
3403
3404"I'm guessing when the time comes I will have the answer. Sad. I wanted to learn much more."
3405
3406He would look at the loud woman. Wasn't she to loud. Tch. He lost his train of thought.
3407
3408"Maybe another time."

3421[21:07] Iosefka Coza says, "I'm letting Eiphraem know, but I think he might be in hibernation."
3422[21:07] Ilonnia Wray says, "I'm covered in blood again. No hugs for ya today, kiddo. "
3423[21:07] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "It's okay."
3424[21:07] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Will you hit Kestrel for me?"
3425[21:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "She is still ignoring when I'm around."
3426[21:08] Farin Wray says, "Ya can't."
3427[21:08] Ilonnia Wray says, "She's goin' through somethin'. "
3428[21:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang."
3429[21:08] "Ah.. absolutely, my dear" Astaria said a little uncertainly, curtsying politely to the man as a brief smile spreads across her pale lips. Following that, the woman started walking towards Kestrel, slowly since she was still carrying Igleta on her lap, patting the ookami on the shoulder with the single hand she had free.
3430
3431"Lady Kestrel, are you available for hire at the moment?"
3432(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3433--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3443[21:08] Farin Wray says, "I can take the hit for'er though."
3444[21:08] Katrin Weiner asks, "Oh, lady Iosefka, do you know if any progress on my order has been made? Or will lord Eiphraem send word once finished?"
3445[21:08] Kestrel asks, "Er. Right now? Depends. What's the job?"
3446[21:08] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Keep me company."
3447[21:08] Iosefka Coza says, "Eiphraem has not been seen yet today, since he has been hibernating since last night."
3448[21:08] Katrin Weiner says, "Oh, alright thank you for letting me know."
3449[21:08] Kestrel asks, "Um... like... here...? In Crafthold?"
3450[21:08] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I'm headed to Huangzhou right now, I believe."
3451[21:08] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
3452[21:09] Kestrel says, "I- I'd rather not go back there right now. I have some business of my own to take care of."
3453[21:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hi Kestrel."
3454[21:09] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Ah.. a shame."
3455[21:09] Kestrel says, "Hi, Igleta."
3456[21:09] Kestrel says, "Um... yeah. Sorry."
3457[21:09] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I much enjoyed your company last time."
3458[21:09] Iosefka Coza says, "Ilonnia, come here."
3459[21:09] Kestrel says, "Um...."
3460[21:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<Hah, 11 months.... I guess it counts.>"
3461[21:09] Farin Wray says, "Aww..."
3462[21:09] Farin Wray says, "Ain't that sweet."
3463[21:09] Kestrel says, "Y- yeah, well, maybe another time. Right now I've got other things I have to do."
3464[21:09] Kestrel says, "Sorry."
3465[21:10] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Absolutely. We'll speak later, yes?"
3466[21:10] Kestrel says, "Sure. Yeah."
3467[21:10] Enmerkar says, "Enmerkar can be your company for the night."
3468[21:10] Kestrel says, "N- no, no, Enmerkar you can't go to Huangzhou."
3469[21:10] Katrin Weiner says, "You will die where we are going young demon."
3470[21:11] Ilonnia Wray says, "Heya. "
3471[21:11] Enmerkar says, "Oh."
3472[21:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang."
3473[21:11] Enmerkar says, "Okay."
3474[21:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "That's a big guy."
3475[21:11] Kyrstina hums as she comes into town. She waves at Igleta, Astaria, and Kat.

3479[21:11] Iosefka Coza says, "Hey there, stranger! You seem like you've got your midlife crisis all planned out."
3480[21:11] Katrin Weiner says, "Hello Kyrstina."
3481[21:11] Iosefka Coza exclaims, "Kyrstina! Careful in the Glade!"
3482[21:11] Iosefka Coza exclaims, "Apparently there's a silver-haired man with a dark trident trying to kill peopl!"
3483[21:12] Iosefka Coza says, "People, even."
3484[21:12] Azar asks, "...Hm?"
3485[21:12] Azar asks, "That sounds pretty interesting. Anyone on that?"
3486[21:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Thanks for trying.
3487[21:13] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: It's alright, dearie.
3488[21:13] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
3489[21:13] Iosefka Coza says, "... Mm... Hmmm..."

3501[21:13] Katrin Weiner exclaims, "I'm glad I got a pet today!"
3502[21:13] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Kestrel is a lovely person."
3503[21:13] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "A little shy, is all."
3504[21:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I hope you give the pet a bath, he smells like a grave."
3505[21:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "You think that's all it is?"
3506[21:14] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Probably, yes. She's also very devoted."
3507[21:15] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Igleta, Kat?"
3508[21:15] Katrin Weiner asks, "Hm?"
3509[21:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Yeah?"
3510[21:16] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I'd just like to take this time and tell you that I love you both."

3528[21:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "This is the first time I've ever seen you do it."
3529[21:17] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I'm feeling better now."
3530[21:17] Katrin Weiner says, "its our love that healed her."
3531[21:17] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Indeed, it was."
3532[21:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Daaang, the power of love."
3533[21:17] Astaria speaks that with a very serious tone.

3545
3546[21:19] Igleta upon seeing Katrin's funny face, she would make one of her own and return the gesture.
3547(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
3548--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3549
3550[21:19] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mine was better."
3551[21:19] Katrin Weiner says, "Oh yea? that land back there is holy."
3552[21:19] Katrin Weiner says, "get it?its got a bunch of holes."
3553[21:19] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Oh dear.."
3554[21:19] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "You two are really cute."
3555[21:19] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Pffffttt."
3556[21:19] Igleta laughs loudly.
3557(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
3558--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3559
3560[21:19] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "That was silly."
3561[21:19] Astaria takes a seat on the bench and moves Igleta to her lap-- since she had been carrying the girl around.
3562(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3563--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3564
3565[21:19] Igleta is sitting on a lap!
3566(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
3567--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3568
3569[21:19] Wei Djao says, "Hey"
3570[21:19] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Hello."
3571[21:20] Jack Lorden says, "*is bleeding out from a severed arm"
3572[21:20] Wei Djao asks, "The hell did you get into now Jack?"
3573[21:20] Jack Lorden says, "Ghoul."
3574[21:20] Katrin Weiner says, "I'd offer to attach a prosthetic... but.. well..I kind of don't have the energy right now."
3575[21:20] The creepy, masked man eventually loses interest as the place grew to be quite crowdy, turning around and excusing himself out of the square for the time being.
3576(Hapu)
3577--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3578
3579[21:21] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Do you like carrying me?
3580[21:21] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I do!
3581[21:21] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Aren't I heavy?
3582[21:22] Astaria giggles at the question, shaking her head. She stands once more, keeping an arm around Igleta's waistline to carry her around again, moving elsewhere. Too many people in here and it makes her uncomfortable.
3583(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3584--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3585
3586[21:22] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Not at all, dearie.
3587[21:23] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Dang, you're super strong.
3588[21:24] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Well, I'm an Inquisitor of the Grey Church. We're expected to be strong, dear.
3589[21:25] Astaria coughs a little bit, taking something from her shoulder and placing it within her sleeve.
3590(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3591--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3592
3593[21:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Mmmmm. Dang.
3594[21:25] Katrin Weiner whispers: lady Astaria is even stronger than me Letty.
3595[21:25] The commander approached, and a blue crystal formed at his palm. "Identify them." He'd say, wanting a description or optimally a name. The coloration of gemstone he called forth being green as he'd look towards Jack, before gently having it rest against his arm.
3596
3597A deep breath. Jade hues looking upon the Lorden. Taking to wrapping the wounded remnant of a limb with the crystal up against it. "Osoi chiyu." Wei idly stated, the healing being slow and drawn out. A sharp heal of regular holy magic preventing further bleeding just to this moment.
3598
3599"Take some rest."
3600(Wei Djao)
3601--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3602
3603[21:25] Katrin Weiner whispers: did you really bring..
3604[21:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: I'd ask to spar, but I can't.... Kat would never spar me cause she didn't want to hurt me!
3605[21:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: But if I can't train with a super mage then I'll never become one.
3606[21:26] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: When you're feeling better, we can, child.
3607[21:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Really?
3608[21:26] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Of course.
3609[21:26] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I'll teach you everything I know about fighting and magic.
3610[21:26] Igleta attempts to hug Astaria!
3611(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
3612--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3613
3614[21:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Yaaaay! I'll become a super mage then!
3615[21:27] Astaria hugs Igleta tightly with a giggle, keeping the girl on her lap. Slowly, she runs her fingers through the child's hair, gentle and carefully, as to untie any knots that may or may not be there.
3616(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3617--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3618
3619[21:27] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: You will!
3620[21:27] Epsilon takes a step back, still smiling in a concerned sort of way, but nervous with the attention, sure that he himself isn't really helping that much.
3621(Epsilon)
3622--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3623
3624[21:29] Igleta would give a short laugh at the woman's giggle. It was still weird for her to hear her giggle after all, it just seemed so different from what she expected. Nonetheless, as the woman's fingers move their Igleta's hair they would undo the various knots, loops, decorations, and ribbons that Azira had placed within her hair!
3625(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
3626--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3627
3628[21:29] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Oh no, my teacher's design.
3629[21:30] Moriya Ukitake whispers something.
3630[21:31] Satsuki Shimasu whispers something.
3631[21:31] Shu says, "Ah, I see you both arrived here safely."
3632[21:31] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Huh? Oh! Hello again."
3633[21:31] Moriya Ukitake whispers something.
3634[21:31] Moriya Ukitake whispers something.
3635[21:31] Shu nods
3636(Shu)
3637--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3638
3639[21:31] Satsuki Shimasu whispers something.
3640[21:31] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yeah, thanks to your help. I'm really thankful that you helped me."
3641[21:31] Moriya Ukitake whispers something.
3642[21:31] "White hair, carries a trident. Occultist, shadowflame." he listed what he could remember of Eming as Jack waited, wincing for what he expected to be similar treatment he got from Paladia the last time he dragged his sorry ass back into town like this.
3643
3644The bleeding soon stopped, cut blood vessels being sealed off by the magic as the Ookami let out a sigh of relief. "Was closer to Crafthold and Deseti then hear. Was trying to see if they had healing potion for this." He gestures to the leeching mana wound on his neck. A burn mark shaped like a hand.
3645(Jack Lorden)
3646--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3647
3648[21:31] Astaria takes some time to turn her head around, smiling warmly at the sight of Shu.
3649(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3650--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3651
3652[21:31] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Hello, Lady Shoe. Have you been well?"
3653[21:31] Moriya Ukitake whispers something.
3654[21:31] Shu says, "I have been."
3655[21:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Wait, that's Lady Shoe?"
3656[21:32] Katrin Weiner asks, "Lady Shoe, I was told you wished to speak with me?"
3657[21:32] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Indeed."
3658[21:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, I didn't even know."
3659[21:32] His fingers drifted up toward his neck, scratching it with a toucoh fo nervousness, and he glances to Satsuki, then looks away again.
3660(Moriya Ukitake)
3661--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3662
3663[21:32] Moriya Ukitake whispers something.
3664[21:33] Shu says, "I did not intend to speak to you, I was informed that you wished sanctuary in Huangzhou, from your friend there. So I hired a mercenary to escort her to dawn, then you back."
3665[21:33] Satsuki Shimasu whispers something.
3666[21:33] Satsuki Shimasu whispers something.
3667[21:33] Moriya Ukitake whispers something.
3668[21:33] Moriya Ukitake whispers something.
3669[21:33] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Ah..?"
3670[21:33] Satsuki Shimasu whispers something.
3671[21:33] Satsuki Shimasu whispers something.
3672[21:34] Satsuki Shimasu whispers something.
3673[21:34] Shu says, "Something about Tragedy wishing for you to be dead was the excuse used to try to get an escort."
3674[21:34] Moriya Ukitake whispers something.
3675[21:34] Satsuki Shimasu whispers something.
3676[21:34] Satsuki Shimasu whispers something.
3677[21:34] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Ah. She does want that, indeed."
3678[21:34] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I still don't know why."
3679[21:34] Katrin Weiner says, "She has indeed stated that lady Astaria and myself are traitors. Though an escort was not needed for me."
3680[21:35] Moriya Ukitake whispers something.
3681[21:35] Moriya Ukitake whispers something.
3682[21:35] Shu says, "Igleta wanted one just in case."
3683[21:35] Moriya Ukitake whispers something.
3684[21:35] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mhm."
3685[21:35] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Really?"
3686[21:35] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "That's really sweet of you, dearie."
3687[21:35] Satsuki Shimasu whispers something.
3688[21:35] Shu says, "But no matter, as for the traitor thing, it is obvious because you came to Huangzhou, it is a foe to tragedy."
3689[21:35] Astaria pinches Igleta's cheek briefly, promptly returning to untying the knots on her hair shortly after. Very gently and carefully.
3690(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3691--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3692
3693[21:35] Bel says, "... Lady Shu."
3694[21:36] Moriya Ukitake whispers something.
3695[21:36] Katrin Weiner says, "She worries about me too much, she mostly wanted one because we bumped into Lucien Voss recently, and he allowed us to flee from the volcano unharmed, but then I was present at the attack on their settlement."
3696[21:36] Shu asks, "Yes Citizen?"
3697[21:36] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "That may be true."
3698[21:36] Bel says, "As much fun as it must be to speak to this Unclean one, I have a... Report."
3699[21:36] Moriya Ukitake whispers something.
3700[21:36] Shu says, "Very well, I will recive it."
3701[21:36] Igleta is face pinched! The little one would make a funny face at Astaria for doing so! Afterwards, the remaining decorations left behind in her hair would be removed carefully, keeping any damage from being done.
3702(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
3703--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3704
3705[21:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: H-Hey, but my teacher put those there.
3706[21:37] Jack Lorden says, "Will need to get a kit now as well. Rrf.."
3707[21:37] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I'll put them back, dearie.
3708[21:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Promise?
3709[21:37] Katrin Weiner says, "Ah, that's the boy that attempted to attack lady Astaria near the statues in the fortress."
3710[21:37] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Promise!
3711[21:37] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Is it? I cannot see him.."
3712[21:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Okay!
3713[21:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Do you think it's good to learn that stuff, from the class?
3714[21:38] Katrin Weiner whispers: All knowledge can be useful Igleta, if you do not know things, how can you combat against them?
3715[21:38] -- Ah, how wonderful.
3716
3717Wincing all the same as a hand pushed from his side now such aimed to take hold of these bandages wrapped around his shoulder. Blood still spilling into such as a firm gaze remained locked upon Shu all as words struggled to form in his mind. Peeled back, to reveal only a chunk of his very flesh having been torn away at what seemed far too distinct to be at the hands of any blade.
3718
3719"... You all somehow let a vampire slip into Huangzhou. I was attacked, as was the owner of the bar, Tiamat." His words spoken as once more bandages came to wrap around the area of this wound once more. Wincing, the need of a prosthetic pressing though still such a luxury was something furthest from the mind of Bel.
3720
3721"He had... White hair, I feel as though such information was... Important to you, nonetheless."
3722
3723Of how dangerous even Huangzhou was, with vampires lurking.
3724(Bel)
3725--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3726
3727[21:39] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: O-Oh, I never thought about it like that.
3728[21:40] Katrin Weiner whispers: that is why I try to learn as much as I can about the vampires, and about the demons.
3729[21:40] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Hmmm..
3730[21:40] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Tell me something, Igleta.. why do you think it would not be good?
3731[21:41] Wei Djao says, "If you don't stop getting into fights like that Jack, I'll have to put you under arrest for your own good."
3732[21:41] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I'll let you make your own conclusions, and simply ask you questions.
3733[21:41] Wei Djao says, "Let that heal. Get a kit, and take some time to relax."
3734[21:41] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Cause.... Everyone here wouldn't like me anymore, and then Sei wouldn't be my friend anymore. Plus if they found out, then I'd have people trying to kill me!
3735[21:41] Jack Lorden says, "But-"
3736[21:41] A hand will be raised to one of her attendants, with word to be taken to one of the healers.
3737
3738"It is noted, you will need to file an official report, but besides white hair, did you get anything else off of them? You are also to go to see the healer, with them sending the bill for the procedure to my office for reimbursement."
3739(Shu)
3740--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3741
3742[21:41] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Doesn't that say something about them, rather than about what you've learned?
3743[21:42] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: You're still the same person, are you not?
3744[21:42] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: I think so, but.... I don't know. It's weird.
3745[21:42] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: It's a very weird world, indeed.
3746[21:42] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Do you think you're a bad person?
3747[21:42] Katrin Weiner whispers: well Igleta, do you think I'm any different even after you saw what I made?
3748[21:43] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: I...I don't know. I don't think so.
3749[21:43] -- Nodding, kindness displayed all the same.
3750
3751Questioning all that had happened what followed was a tug upon his lips into a frown. Those crimson red eyes which seemed so familiar now, staring back at Bel simply waiting to strike back against this child who had been met with vampires time and time again.
3752
3753"... The usual, he had red eyes. He said... He was once a hero, though now takes pleasure in harming others." Shaking his head from side to side, all the words and context were lost in the heat of battle. Everything seeming far more distant now, as the pain continued to seep into his mind.
3754
3755"All expected from The Unclean ones. Though, I... Thank you for your kindness, Lady Shu."
3756
3757Words followed only by a quick bow of his head.
3758
3759"I'll see if I can find anyone around then."
3760(Bel)
3761--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3762
3763[21:44] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: (I gotta punt someone in the field.....)
3764[21:44] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Never let others tell you who you are, my dear.
3765[21:44] Bel says, "... Before writing the report, of course."
3766[21:44] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: (I will return!!!! Give me like....5 minutes I love you both with the fiery passion of 14k burning suns eclipsing one another at the same time)
3767[21:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: (plan better, you took way too long. I'm in a scene with too many people yo.)
3768[21:49] Jack Lorden says, "No."
3769[21:50] Katrin Weiner asks, "Can you provide a better description than white hair?"
3770[21:50] Shu says, "Shame, would have made the bounty easier to credit."
3771[21:50] Jack Lorden says, "It's a vampire, doesn't need a name besides dead."
3772[21:50] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: But... How do I know who I am though?
3773[21:50] Katrin Weiner asks, "If it's a ghoul, can it be saved?"
3774[21:50] Shu says, "Easier to identify if we have a name per say."
3775[21:50] "So, I heard this really weird rumor."
3776
3777The teenagers hands would rest in his coat pockets as he approached closely behind Tiamat. The taller boy leaning over the side to read over her shoulder at the board, he would continue speaking, a smile on his face as he addressed the witch. "Some scraggly little girl that lived in the woods now is the keeper of...a tavern?"
3778
3779Glasses sliding down his nose slightly, Genner would look towards her, unable to hide the amusement. "Sort of a step above taking care of chickens in the woods, right?"
3780(Genner)
3781--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3782
3783[21:50] As Samir passes through the crowd, he slowly looks left and right as if looking for someone.
3784(Samir Slinope)
3785--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3786
3787[21:50] Shu says, "But no matter."
3788[21:51] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: That is the hard question, yes/
3789[21:51] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: (forgive me I love you)
3790[21:51] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: It is.
3791[21:51] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: It's something we slowly discover, my dear, through our lives.
3792[21:51] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Self discovery is a big part of life. But don't let it get dictated by others.. follow your own path.
3793[21:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Dang, but that's a long time.... That's going to be tough. I don't like to disappoint people....
3794[21:52] Shu will call an attendant forth, to come bring some materials to Jack. A small bundle of ingots of both mithril and orihaculum will be brought forth for him.
3795
3796"Here, take these and have it made into a new limb, should be what you need at the very least."
3797(Shu)
3798--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3799
3800[21:52] Katrin Weiner says, "If someone brings me some food in about sixteen spirit minutes,I can try my hand at giving you a new grip on life Jack."
3801[21:52] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: A very big part of accepting yourself is knowing that you have to live for yourself.
3802[21:52] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: It's easy for people to point and judge, dearie.
3803[21:53] Before either of them could realize it, there was -another- person looking over Tiamat's shoulder. A tall being that was also looking over Genner's head. But it wasn't looking at the board..
3804
3805It was staring down at the two of them. With that freaky, creepy smile on the mask.
3806(Hapu)
3807--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3808
3809[21:53] Samir lifts his purple metallic hand up to his face, seemingly whispering something into it.
3810
3811(Samir Slinope)
3812--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3813
3814[21:53] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Those that truly care about you-- they'll help you through things, they'll support you, and they'll stand beside you. As I always will, because I love you.
3815[21:53] Jack looks down at the materials presented before lugging them underneath his remaining shoulder. He wasn't quite sure what to say to the sudden generosity besides. "Thanks."
3816(Jack Lorden)
3817--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3818
3819[21:54] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: But, what if I end up on the other side. Won't you kill me?
3820[21:54] Shu says, "You are dismissed citizen Jack."
3821[21:54] Shu says, "Go get it made."
3822[21:54] Katrin Weiner says, "Lady Shoe, you are quite kind, it brings me joy to see a leader interact with their people. as opposed to blending in with a bench."
3823[21:54] Wei Djao asks, "Lady SHu? Seen Satsuki at all or Tiff?"
3824[21:54] Shu says, "I do not have time to sit still most of the time I am afraid."
3825[21:54] Shu says, "Tiff I have not, Satsuki went to her shrine."
3826[21:54] Wei Djao says, "Gatherring ticket fees for a relic raffle."
3827[21:54] Katrin Weiner says, "Perhaps that is for the best, idle hands lead to weakness."
3828[21:54] Samir quickly looks to the crowd, in his mind, they flashed as demonic imagery, screaming at him, staring at him. He quickly shakes his head to disregard the hallucinations, however, he is noticeably on edge.
3829(Samir Slinope)
3830--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3831
3832[21:54] Wei Djao says, "Seven fifty a ticket, for this beauty."
3833[21:54] Wei Shows shu the sword.
3834(Wei Djao)
3835--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3836
3837[21:55] In public, its important to remain smiling.
3838
3839Though, to those that knew her closely, as of the coven did, the taint of sadness and fret discloses true emotion behind her expression. Tiamat's arms are stretched, seeking to post the tavern's latest, public announcement in lieu of hushed rumors and discussion that could potentially turn business away. The last thing she needed to do was give the vampires a victory; taking away her desire to benefit Huangzhou in any manner she could.
3840
3841As she'd turn to gaze upon Genner, it is easy to see that she hasn't slept much. Dark circles hanging underneath her oceanic eyes grant way of one plagued by nightmares - but her smile only brightens when peering towards the teen. Outside of a hideous, ragged scar of puckered, burnt flesh on her exposed, right shoulder, she's relatively composed.
3842
3843"I have not forgotten Ra in the woods, and I never will. The blessing of the tavern is for more than just myself, Genner. As you'll see if you come move in with us," Tiamat pulls back, offering an embrace towards the lad --
3844
3845Until her eyes catch the masked being standing over her. She practically falls into Genner then, a registered look of fear striking her face when staring at the masked silhouette.
3846(Tiamat)
3847--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3848
3849[21:55] Katrin looks at the sword too.
3850(Katrin Weiner)
3851--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3852
3853[21:55] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Why would I?
3854[21:55] Shu says, "Seems like a powerful blade."
3855[21:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Cause everyone likes to kill people if they don't agree.
3856[21:55] Shu says, "Although I believe mine is stronger"
3857[21:55] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Well, I don't.
3858[21:56] Shu says, "Hopefully you get a buyer."
3859[21:56] Wei Djao says, "Indeed, sold the minimum tickets for deciding to not just hold it and requisition funds."
3860[21:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: You mean it?
3861[21:56] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I kill people in self defense, or in the defense of others.. I very much dislike killing. It's.. such a waste of life. Of potential. Happiness.
3862[21:56] Katrin Weiner asks, "Lady Shoe, would I be able to look at your weapon?"
3863[21:56] Wei Djao says, "I intended to, if not selling it, to hold it for a warrior worthy of it."
3864[21:56] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I mean it, love.
3865[21:56] Igleta shakes her head at Astaria
3866(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
3867--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3868
3869[21:56] Wei Djao says, "Although, probably Mei or Jack being honest."
3870[21:56] Shu says, "You may, although the smith I believe who made it for me intended it as an insult."
3871[21:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Don't kill them for that! You have me now, once my magic is back I can just make them sleep for a super long time.
3872[21:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: I spent a lot of time practicing it!
3873[21:57] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: That would be a very acceptable alternative.
3874[21:57] Shu says, "I am used to insults so it is no matter."
3875[21:57] Katrin Weiner says, "May I ask about the insult? I am afraid I do not understand it."
3876[21:57] Shu says, "He believed I had no soul."
3877[21:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Do you think Sei will let me do that too?
3878[21:58] Katrin Weiner says, "Then he is a fool, all Qilin have souls, righteous ones from myunderstanding."
3879[21:58] Katrin Weiner says, "If you had no soul, you could not live."
3880[21:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: He said he wouldn't kill me either, if I was a Necromancer.
3881[21:58] Shu says, "It is a common thought, that we are nothing but dolls."
3882[21:58] Shu says, "That is what my enslaver called me as well, his porcilin doll"
3883[21:59] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
3884[21:59] Shu arches an eyebrow
3885(Shu)
3886--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3887
3888[21:59] Shu whispers something.
3889[21:59] Goes to take a seat as he sets the lump of ores down next to him. Enough for a mithril kit. He glances around to see if he could spot a smith of some kind to help him out. "Hmm."
3890(Jack Lorden)
3891--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3892
3893[21:59] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I don't know, dear.
3894[22:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: (...Astaria, do you love me?)
3895[22:00] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: (i love everyone <3)
3896[22:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: (Gimme a moment to go clock this thot :D?)
3897[22:00] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: (absolutely)
3898[22:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: (You are now plookiebae)
3899[22:00] Shu whispers something.
3900[22:00] His own smiles came easy. He had grown taller in his days in the woods, resembling easily one of the many saplings that they had one planted. And despite the easy smiles, he was still very much human. Concern showed on his face at the tired eyes, the exposed and burned skin. His own composure was a formality for the public. Genners eyes betrayed that easily enough.
3901
3902Arms would open wide for a hug, until the presence at his shoulder and the sudden shift of Tiamat into him. It would knock him backwards slightly, jostling the creepy evesdropper before the teenager would turn towards them. Looking at the mask, his clothes, the sleight height over him. And the disconcerting smile that was left on the masks face.
3903
3904"I'm trying to catch up with somebody here." His own smile faded, fingers gesturing off to the side. "Would you mind...not doing that?"
3905(Genner)
3906--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3907
3908[22:00] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
3909[22:00] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
3910[22:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: (brb!)
3911[22:01] Shu frowns in distaste
3912(Shu)
3913--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3914
3915[22:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: (omg you actually waited on me, I love you)
3916[22:12] Astaria was now in the very awkward position of having Igleta on her lap and half-hugging Ayano with another hand. Maybe she cares for a few too many children.
3917(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3918--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3919
3920[22:12] Shu shrugs
3921(Shu)
3922--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3923
3924[22:12] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "Hi Yuki."
3925[22:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hi."
3926[22:12] Shu whispers something.
3927[22:13] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
3928[22:13] Shu whispers something.
3929[22:13] Shu whispers something.
3930[22:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Who's that?
3931[22:13] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: That's Ayano! Ayano, this is Igleta.
3932[22:13] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "Hey there.."
3933[22:13] Shu whispers something.
3934[22:14] He figured somebody must have been giving her comfort and while sharing a bed probably isn't really awkward for her, he knows damn well what it means to share a bed to sleep with another person. For a few moments his eyes stare off into the distance, as if he is reminiscing about his glory days, a different girl each town...
3935
3936"Wha-" his head shakes and he pull himself together, looking back over to the two with a smile, "-yeah we should head back, plus I doubt the guy is that ballsy." Then again, he did climb through the window in the middle of the night... In the middle of a big ass city. You never know at this point.
3937
3938his arm waves them along and he starts to head towards the east, trying to lead them back over to the tavern, "I can serve some drinks."
3939(Hokusu )
3940--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3941
3942[22:14] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
3943[22:14] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, "Why are you . . shirtless?"
3944[22:14] Armis says, "..."
3945[22:14] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "Training."
3946[22:14] Shu whispers something.
3947[22:14] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "Oh . ."
3948[22:14] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "Ripped my coat."
3949[22:14] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: Nice to meet you.
3950[22:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Hello.
3951[22:15] Leona Itheis Mariposa exclaims, "You need to get a new one then!"
3952[22:15] Shu whispers something.
3953[22:15] Shu whispers something.
3954[22:15] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
3955[22:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: You're pretty!
3956[22:15] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Igleta lives with me, Ayano. I love her very much, like she was my own child.
3957[22:15] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "Later."
3958[22:15] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, "What's got you training so hard?"
3959[22:16] Shu whispers something.
3960[22:16] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: Aww..That's adorable.
3961[22:16] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
3962[22:16] Jack Lorden asks, "Any of you able to help with a prosthetic?"
3963[22:16] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "Huh.."
3964[22:16] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
3965[22:16] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "This is normal."
3966[22:16] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I'm not.. my apologies."
3967[22:16] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "Oh . ."
3968[22:17] Katrin Weiner asks, "Jack, did you get a kit made?"
3969[22:17] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "Maybe I should practice with my magic. ."
3970[22:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Hey, haven't I seen you somewhere before Ayano?
3971[22:17] It is a terrible way to be, one that Tiamat loathes herself for. Her throat moves, trying to tamper down the lump that's been formed there, and she braces herself against the supportive Genner.
3972
3973Mother Kali, erase this fear... I don't want to turn away from others who may need me, she mentally prays, with a sorrowful feeling coursing down her spine. In which, she'd squeeze onto Genner's hand and offers something perhaps foolish.
3974
3975"Ah, if … you need something, sir? Ma'am...? Please, seek us in the tavern. We'll be open as long as needed," she announces to the masked stranger, clearing her throat and turning to guide her company through the city. Just because one of the vampires had been bold enough to enter her bedroom didn't mean that every person with a strange disposition now was a Cursed of Cain.
3976
3977Did it?
3978(Tiamat)
3979--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3980
3981[22:17] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "I'm about to go on a quick adventure."
3982[22:17] Yuki M. Emberstone asks, "Coming?"
3983[22:17] Shu whispers something.
3984[22:17] Jack Lorden says, "I have one."
3985[22:17] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, "An adventure? Where?"
3986[22:17] Shu whispers something.
3987[22:17] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: A few times, I think..
3988[22:17] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "Deseti."
3989[22:17] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
3990[22:17] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: I'm mostly hanging around the square these days.
3991[22:17] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "Uhm . . I guess I can come."
3992[22:17] Katrin Weiner says, "Give me a few moments to wrap up my business with lady Shoe and I will help you out."
3993[22:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: A few times? Have you been stalking me then? Hehe, just kidding.
3994[22:17] Shu whispers something.
3995[22:18] Astaria giggles, a hand reaching to Ayano's hair as the Neries runs her fingers through it. Sadly, she can't properly untie any knots on the hair with a single hand..
3996(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
3997--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3998
3999[22:18] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
4000[22:18] Yuki walks off.
4001(Yuki M. Emberstone)
4002--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4003
4004[22:19] Shu whispers something.
4005[22:19] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
4006[22:19] Plops himself down onto the bench with the new mithril arm sitting on his lap. "Will wait here then." He says while keeping an eye out for any vampires trying to sneak into the city again.
4007(Jack Lorden)
4008--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4009
4010[22:19] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: Heh. I'm not THAT bad..
4011[22:19] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
4012[22:20] Shu whispers something.
4013[22:20] Shu whispers something.
4014[22:20] Shu says, "You are dismissed."
4015[22:21] Katrin omnoms a quick meal.
4016(Katrin Weiner)
4017--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4018
4019[22:21] Katrin Weiner says, "Alright Jack, come with me please."
4020[22:21] Ayano relaxes her head slightly onto Astaria's hand. She wasn't quite used to this yet, but she wasn't complaining. It was very relaxing for her.
4021(Ayano Kirigaia)
4022--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4023
4024[22:22] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Are you two hungry?
4025[22:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: You don't have to hold me.
4026[22:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Oh, yeah.
4027[22:22] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I like holding you, dearie.
4028[22:23] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Mhm, but you didn't mess with her hair yet. So that way, you can.
4029[22:23] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: That's very sweet of you, Igleta.
4030[22:23] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: Agreed.
4031[22:23] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: D'awww. You're both silly.
4032[22:23] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Could you please buy some food for the both of you, Igleta?
4033[22:23] Astaria reaches to her coin pouch, handing a sack of coins towards Igleta. She didn't seem to care, tossing the money around like it was nothing.
4034(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4035--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4036
4037[22:24] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Keep the change, dearie. Buy yourself something pretty, yes?
4038[22:24] Igleta takes the coins!
4039(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4040--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4041
4042[22:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Sure.
4043[22:24] {Item} Picked up a bag of 600 dropped by Astaria Rosenkreuz.
4044[22:24] Igleta shunshin no jutsu. Is this the right game?
4045(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4046--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4047
4048[22:25] {Item} You drop Sugarcap Mushroom x1.
4049[22:26] Igleta returns with three pies!
4050(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4051--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4052
4053[22:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Soooo. I got one for you too."
4054[22:27] Astaria nods, reaching closer to Ayano to lift the girl a little and place her upon her lap. That'd make everything easier! With both hands now, Astaria runs her fingers through Ayano's thick black hair, her fingers curling a little for the fingernails to shortly run over the girl's scalp, while also gently untying any knots on her hair.
4055(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4056--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4057
4058[22:27] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "That's really sweet, Igleta. What do you have for us?"
4059[22:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I got Azira's Pumpkin Pie. She makes really good pies you know, pretty much everyone buys them."
4060[22:28] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "That's great, dearie."
4061[22:29] Igleta offers one of the pies to Ayano.
4062(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4063--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4064
4065[22:29] Ayano smiles, accepting the offer happily.
4066(Ayano Kirigaia)
4067--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4068
4069[22:29] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: Thank you!~
4070[22:29] {Item} You drop Pumpkin Pie.
4071[22:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: D'awwwww you sound so adorable.
4072[22:30] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: I'm not adorable..
4073[22:30] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: You are totally adorable.
4074[22:30] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: Am not!
4075[22:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Mhm, totally.
4076[22:31] Astaria pinches Ayano's cheek softly with a giggle, both of her hands returning to untying knots on the girl's hair afterwards, with her long fingernails softly brushing over her scalp as the fingers run through her hair.
4077(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4078--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4079
4080[22:31] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Super adorable.
4081[22:33] Ayano gives Astaria a playfully annoyed look, blushing furiously. She was embarrassed, clearly. Or was she? It was hard to tell.
4082(Ayano Kirigaia)
4083--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4084
4085[22:33] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: I totally am not!
4086[22:33] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: D'awwwww. You're even blushing. D'awwww.
4087[22:34] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: Stoooop!
4088[22:34] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Adorable little Ayano.
4089[22:34] Astaria giggles.
4090(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4091--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4092
4093[22:34] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: What do I get if I stop?
4094[22:35] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: Uh...Uh..
4095[22:35] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: You get..A candy corn?
4096[22:35] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: But, I have pie.
4097[22:36] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: Oh yeah, we have that.
4098[22:36] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I think she wants a hug!
4099[22:36] Igleta gasps.
4100(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4101--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4102
4103[22:36] Satsuki quietly slips Wei some coins, as per the raffle agreement. Good doing business.
4104(Satsuki Shimasu)
4105--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4106
4107[22:36] Wei Djao whispers something.
4108[22:36] Satsuki Shimasu whispers something.
4109[22:36] Satsuki Shimasu whispers something.
4110[22:36] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: ...Fiiiiine!~
4111[22:36] Wei Djao whispers something.
4112[22:36] Wei smirks at Satsuki teasingly.
4113(Wei Djao)
4114--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4115
4116[22:37] Satsuki Shimasu whispers something.
4117[22:37] Ayano opens her arms slightly, ready to hug Igleta.
4118(Ayano Kirigaia)
4119--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4120
4121[22:37] Satsuki Shimasu whispers something.
4122[22:37] Wei Djao whispers something.
4123[22:38] Satsuki Shimasu whispers something.
4124[22:38] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Do either of you want to hear me sing?
4125[22:38] Igleta giggles for a moment at the movements of Ayano. It was really cute that she only wanted to be met half-way. The youth would accept it and wrap her arms around her.
4126(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4127--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4128
4129[22:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: You sing?
4130[22:39] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: I wouldn't mind that..
4131[22:39] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I do, in fact! Just, uhm, not in front of people that I don't really like.
4132[22:39] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: I happen to love you two very much, like you're my own children! So it'll be okay.
4133[22:39] Astaria chuckles a little.
4134(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4135--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4136
4137[22:40] Ayano blinks.
4138(Ayano Kirigaia)
4139--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4140
4141[22:40] Astaria pinches Ayano's cheek softly.
4142(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4143--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4144
4145[22:40] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Anything wrong, dearie?
4146[22:40] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: But, you've only known me for a few days..I'm not THAT ama-
4147[22:40] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: Stooooop....
4148[22:40] Astaria giggles.
4149(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4150--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4151
4152[22:40] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Why don't you come live with us, Ayano?
4153[22:41] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: I don't want to, uh..Be a hinderance..
4154[22:41] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: You'd never be a hindrance to me, my dear.
4155[22:41] Kyrstina watches Astaria and Igleta. She would wave at either should they look her way.
4156(Kyrstina)
4157--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4158
4159[22:41] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Besides, you can hang out with me.
4160[22:42] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: I..Wouldn't mind that, honestly..But, if I get the chance to do so..I want to do something for both of you in return.
4161[22:42] Astaria smiles softly at Kyrstina as acknowledgement-- though she can't wave back right now, as both of her hands were busy going through Ayano's hair, with her fingernails slowly brushing over the girl's scalp. She's also taking the time to brush it properly, untying any knots, though that's done manually, since she doesn't have a brus with her.
4162(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4163--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4164
4165[22:42] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Well, I know that I want.
4166[22:43] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: I wouldn't feel right just, y'know..Accepting it.
4167[22:43] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Just as I love you as if you were my own child, you love me as if I was your own mother.
4168[22:43] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: Is that..It?
4169[22:43] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: That's it! Nothing would make me happier, dear.
4170[22:44] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: I think I can do that.
4171[22:45] Astaria wraps both of her arms around Ayano, squeezing the girl a little bit affectionately as she nods.
4172(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4173--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4174
4175[22:45] Kyrstina moves to sit beside Astaria. "Do you mind if I sit with you and visit? It has been so long since we have talked, though I see you often. Hi Igleta. I hope you are well. I didn't get to say bye to you before you left for Dawn."
4176(Kyrstina)
4177--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4178
4179[22:45] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I'm afraid I'm forbidden from answering that question, Kyrstina.."
4180[22:46] Astaria Rosenkreuz exclaims, "But it's quite alright if you stay near!"
4181[22:46] Kyrstina looks at Astaria with a smiles and cuts a glance to the girls. She nods, "Oh, ok. I understand. Who is the boss, then?"
4182(Kyrstina)
4183--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4184
4185[22:46] Ayano blushed furiousy, but decided to deal with it. She'd hug Astaria back with an equal amount of force. She was still coming to terms with what she had just agreed to.
4186(Ayano Kirigaia)
4187--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4188
4189[22:46] Igleta turns and looks at Kyrstina for a moment. The girl actually felt bad cause she couldn't remember her name, or ever meeting her. However, the woman knew her by name! That was an oopsie of a situation right there.
4190(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4191--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4192
4193[22:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hiiiii."
4194[22:46] Ayano Kirigaia says, "Hi, Miss.."
4195[22:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm sorry, I'm all over the place."
4196[22:46] Kyrstina says, "Oh, it is alright. "
4197[22:47] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "How have you been?"
4198[22:48] Kyrstina says, "I have been well, but I have missed Azira's pies. "
4199[22:48] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Want one?"
4200[22:48] Kyrstina exclaims, "Sure!"
4201[22:48] Kyrstina says, "That's why I came to town, actually."
4202[22:49] Ayano gives Krystina a positive grin. She had a strange sparkle in her eyes, as she almost seemed to have lights in her eyes. It was certainly a sight to behold.
4203(Ayano Kirigaia)
4204--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4205
4206[22:49] Kyrstina says, "I was hoping she had some pumpkin pie for sell."
4207[22:49] Ayano Kirigaia says, "You can have mine if you want."
4208[22:49] Igleta offers the second pumpkin pie to Kyrstina!
4209(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4210--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4211
4212[22:49] {Item} You drop Pumpkin Pie.
4213[22:50] Kagero whispers something.
4214[22:51] Kyrstina smilse broadly as she accepts the pie. "You are too nice. You know, I could go get my own. It is just up the road, but I will not refuse you gift. Thank you, Igleta. I hope you figured out what to do about your friend."
4215(Kyrstina)
4216--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4217
4218[22:52] Arashi Zao whispers something.
4219[22:52] Astaria seems to be exceedingly happy as well, for whatever reason. Her hands reach over to Ayano's hair once more, slowly running her fingers through them, this time focusing more on the 'caressing' aspect, with her fingernails slowly brushing over the girl's scalp as her fingers curl a little with the movement, humming a soft song to herself.
4220(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4221--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4222
4223[22:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Oh, which friend?"
4224[22:52] Kyrstina looks at Ayano and marvels at her eyes. They reminded her of a certain set of silvery hues she knew. "It is nice to meet you. I am Kyrstina."
4225(Kyrstina)
4226--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4227
4228[22:52] Kyrstina looks back at Igleta. "The one that like, liked you."
4229(Kyrstina)
4230--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4231
4232[22:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh, he hates me now. I don't think about him since he's so mean."
4233[22:53] Wei smirks a bit more, knowing Satsuki's reasoning a bit better before looking ahead. "Yes lad?"
4234(Wei Djao)
4235--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4236
4237[22:53] Kyrstina puts a hand on her hip. "Well, that's a drastic turn since I last saw you. Boys." She rolls her eyes and shakes her head.
4238(Kyrstina)
4239--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4240
4241[22:54] Ayano gave Igleta a pat on the shoulder, or at least attempted to, in sympathy.
4242
4243"Hey, I don't see why someone should hate you..You're adorable!" She'd laugh, her eyes radiating with calm, positive emotions.
4244
4245"Oh, and nice to meet you, Krystina!" She'd giggle, obviously in a good mood.
4246(Ayano Kirigaia)
4247--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4248
4249[22:54] Igleta giggles for a moment as she watches Kyrstina's actions.
4250(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4251--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4252
4253[22:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mhm, boys are terrible."
4254[22:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Except Sei and Fox, and Mu the Legend.
4255[22:55] Kyrstina whispers: Fox? From the Glade? Has the brother Light?
4256[22:56] Ayano Kirigaia says, "Boys are jerks."
4257[22:56] Kyrstina giggles scratches behind her ear.
4258(Kyrstina)
4259--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4260
4261[22:56] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: Except a few of them..
4262[22:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: I didn't know Fox has a brother?
4263[22:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Does he have beautiful facial hair too?
4264[22:57] Arashi Zao whispers something.
4265[22:57] Arashi Zao whispers something.
4266[22:57] Kyrstina whispers: Fox asked me to train with him today. To be true, I don't recall. I was so focused on our practice.
4267[22:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: I still need to visit the Glade. How is Mother?
4268[22:58] Kyrstina whispers: She is well. We were hunting for a silver-haired man trying to hurt people in the Glade earlier. She is probably still stalking him.
4269[22:58] Kyrstina whispers: How do you know her?
4270[22:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: She made me a tree here, but they chopped it down. Then she gave me money and stuff.
4271[22:58] Kyrstina takes a bit of her pie and closes her eyes as she chew, flushing red as she says, "MMmmm. Soooo good."
4272(Kyrstina)
4273--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4274
4275[22:59] Ayano Kirigaia says, "That's adorable."
4276[23:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hehe."
4277[23:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Heeeeey.....Astaria.
4278[23:00] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Mm?
4279[23:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Do you think I should marry Kat?
4280[23:00] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Aren't you a little to young, dearie
4281[23:00] Kyrstina says, "Oh yeah! I rem- "
4282[23:01] Kyrstina nearly chokes on her pie.
4283(Kyrstina)
4284--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4285
4286[23:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Maybe. I'm just asking for general stuff. She does want to marry me.
4287[23:01] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Well, you two are free to do as you desire!
4288[23:02] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Are you okay, Kyrstina?
4289[23:02] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: That's adorable.
4290[23:02] Astaria giggles, squeezing Ayano a little bit, affectionately.
4291(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4292--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4293
4294[23:02] Kyrstina covers her mouth as she coughs. She waves her hand at Igleta and nods that she is okay, then covers her mouth and coughs again.
4295(Kyrstina)
4296--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4297
4298[23:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Is it adorable?
4299[23:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Mmmmm. What if I decide to marry Ayano?
4300[23:03] Igleta just blankly stares at Ayano.
4301(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4302--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4303
4304[23:04] Kyrstina steps over to the fountain and cups some of the water in her hand, taking a sip. "Ahhh. Whew. Sorry."
4305(Kyrstina)
4306--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4307
4308[23:04] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: That is.. up to you two, I suppose?
4309[23:04] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Dang. You won't give an opinion.
4310[23:04] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hiiiiii."
4311[23:04] Katrin Weiner says, "Arlgithy, I'm back."
4312[23:04] Jack Lorden says, "Better now."
4313[23:04] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa whispers: Also, I was just kidding, Ayano.
4314[23:04] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Kat, shall we head back home?"
4315[23:04] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: Wait wh-
4316[23:04] Kyrstina waves at Kat.
4317(Kyrstina)
4318--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4319
4320[23:04] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: Oh.
4321[23:04] Katrin waves back
4322(Katrin Weiner)
4323--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4324
4325[23:04] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: Alrightie then, Haha!
4326[23:05] Katrin Weiner says, "Certainly lady Astaria, I could use some sleep anyways."
4327[23:05] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Wonderful."
4328[23:05] Katrin Weiner says, "All aboard the Weiner train."
4329[23:05] Astaria Rosenkreuz whispers: Might I carry you, Ayano?
4330[23:05] Katrin Weiner says, "Remind me to never say that again.."
4331[23:05] Ayano Kirigaia whispers: U-Uh..Go ahead?
4332[23:05] Igleta attempts to hop on Katrin's back!
4333(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4334--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4335
4336[23:05] Katrin allows this action and rises into the air.
4337(Katrin Weiner)
4338--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4339
4340[23:05] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Give me a flying piggyback ride, Kat."
4341[23:05] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Yaaaay!"
4342[23:06] Astaria wraps an arm around Ayano's waistline, lifting the girl as she rises from the bench. Perhaps it's the raw energy running through her arm-- but she doesn't seem to have much difficulty on doing that.
4343(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4344--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4345
4346[23:06] Kyrstina finishes her pie. She wipes her hands on her traveling cloak and then waves at her friends. "Be careful crossing the swamp in the dark."
4347(Kyrstina)
4348--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4349
4350[23:06] Katrin Weiner says, "You can come too Kyrstina."
4351[23:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Thaaanks. I'll see you around Kyrstina!"
4352[23:06] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Absolutely. I'd protect my children with my life."
4353[23:06] Ayano makes a squealing sound, although it is barely audible. She wasn't used to this stuff at all.
4354(Ayano Kirigaia)
4355--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4356
4357[23:07] Kyrstina says, "Ok, sure, Kat. I'll come."
4358[23:07] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "Igleta."
4359[23:07] Katrin Weiner exclaims, "Perfect!"
4360[23:07] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh."
4361[23:07] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Wait."
4362[23:07] Kyrstina says, "I need to get back to the Glade anyway. Best I not cross alone. My own little girl would be very sad."
4363[23:07] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, "You're leaving again . . ?"
4364[23:07] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Mhm!"
4365[23:07] Leona frowns.
4366(Leona Itheis Mariposa)
4367--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4368
4369[23:07] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "What?"
4370[23:07] Katrin Weiner says, "You're welcome to come with Leona, Arthur talked about you earlier."
4371[23:08] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, "He did . .?"
4372[23:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Nope."
4373[23:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "He was talking about Spectria."
4374[23:08] Astaria remains very silent. Plus she's carrying Ayano on her arms, anyway.
4375(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4376--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4377
4378[23:08] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, "Oh. . Is she okay?"
4379[23:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Why are you with him?"
4380[23:08] Katrin Weiner says, "Pretty sure it was Leona, guess the only way to find out is to ask him."
4381[23:08] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, "With Yuki, you mean?"
4382[23:10]
4383{LOAD GAME}
4384
4385[23:10] Katrin Weiner says, "Oh, that's alright, if you ever change your mind,you're welcome to visit Yuki."
4386[23:10] Letting his own curiosity and boredom get the better of him as he notices the large group, interested in what they are up to he views from a far. Simply listening, to see if he hears something of interest.
4387(Durus)
4388--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4389
4390[23:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "What in the heck?"
4391[23:10] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "Ok.."
4392[23:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I zoned out for one second."
4393[23:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "What did I miss, why is he being invited to anything about anyting?"
4394[23:10] Kyrstina whispers: is that THE boy?
4395[23:10] Katrin Weiner says, "Because Igleta, it's always important to be kind."
4396[23:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Nope."
4397[23:10] Katrin Weiner says, "Always."
4398[23:10] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "I'm with him because I'm his friend."
4399[23:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Really?"
4400[23:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooow."
4401[23:10] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, "What's wrong?"
4402[23:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You just keep dropping balls dude."
4403[23:11] Kyrstina wrinkles her nose. "That's kind of mean."
4404(Kyrstina)
4405--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4406
4407[23:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Well, you should go hang out with your friend. We have a long trip. Byeeee!"
4408[23:11] Katrin Weiner says, "Igleta, if him being friends with Leona makes him happy, he's entitled to what makes him happy."
4409[23:11] Katrin Weiner says, "Everyone deserves to be happy."
4410[23:12] Leona lowers her gaze to the floor.
4411(Leona Itheis Mariposa)
4412--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4413
4414[23:12] Yuki M. Emberstone asks, "Huh?"
4415[23:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm not doing this....."
4416[23:12] Astaria reaches with her single free arm towards Leona, ruffling the girl's hair slowly.
4417(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4418--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4419
4420[23:12] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "It's alright, dearie."
4421[23:13] Katrin Weiner says, "Yuki, thank you for protecting Najal earlier,it was kind of you, he was quite scared of his accident."
4422[23:13] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "You're always leaving me behind, Igleta."
4423[23:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "No, you're clearly hanging out with the wrong crowd."
4424[23:13] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "No problem.."
4425[23:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "To correct you, Leona."
4426[23:13] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Igleta, please.. might we discuss that at home?"
4427[23:13] Disappointed by their conversation, he decides to leave as his interest is fading. He had hoped such a large party would have some interesting information being discussed. Especially with them speaking away from the town.
4428(Durus)
4429--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4430
4431[23:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You're not going to try and make me look like a villain, as if you literally have no ide-."
4432[23:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "No, I'm not doing this."
4433[23:14] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "How am I even hanging out with the wrong crowd? I'm being nice to people, and spending time with them when they're lonely."
4434[23:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I was having a good time."
4435[23:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm not doing this."
4436[23:14] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Igleta, dearie."
4437[23:14] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Can we speak later, just you and me?"
4438[23:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Is it going to involve this?"
4439[23:14] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Would you do that for me?"
4440[23:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Nnnngh."
4441[23:15] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I'm just going to ask you your reasons, love. I won't judge you"
4442[23:15] Leona lifts her gaze up from the soil towards Astaria, and Igleta.
4443(Leona Itheis Mariposa)
4444--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4445
4446[23:15] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Is that okay?"
4447[23:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Cause he treats me like garbage."
4448[23:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "And then I find out my sister is hanging out with a guy who treats me like garbage."
4449[23:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'd just rather go."
4450[23:15] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "It's alright. We can go."
4451[23:16] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Leona, was it?"
4452[23:16] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "Uhh."
4453[23:16] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, "So you would rather hang out with them because of who I choose to be with?"
4454[23:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Would you like me to hang out with someone that beats on you?"
4455[23:16] Igleta stares at Leona.
4456(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4457--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4458
4459[23:16] Yuki tilts his head.
4460(Yuki M. Emberstone)
4461--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4462
4463[23:16] Ayano had kept her gaze towards the trees for quite a while now. She knew someone was around here. It was nagging at her constantly.
4464(Ayano Kirigaia)
4465--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4466
4467[23:16] Katrin Weiner says, "Igleta, itwasn't Yuki that hurt Leona, it was Najal, he said it himself earlier."
4468[23:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I know that, I'm just making a point."
4469[23:16] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "If hanging out with that person made you happy. . . I wouldn't be mad at you."
4470[23:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "The dude literally just emotionally abuses me."
4471[23:16] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "I took the blame because he was somewhat of a coward.."
4472[23:16] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Mm.."
4473[23:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Well, I'm not mad at you."
4474[23:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm telling you to go be happy."
4475[23:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Just don't expect me to join that parade."
4476[23:16] Ayano Kirigaia says, "..Uh, Not to be.."
4477[23:17] Ayano Kirigaia says, "Rude or anything, but we were just being watched."
4478[23:17] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Indeed."
4479[23:17] Katrin Weiner says, "Yep.."
4480[23:17] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Nothing to be concerned about, dearie."
4481[23:17] Ayano points south, at the trees.
4482(Ayano Kirigaia)
4483--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4484
4485[23:17] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Now.."
4486[23:17] Katrin Weiner asks, "Shall we go?"
4487[23:17] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "It isn't even about hanging out with Yuki . . you always leave to go do things with other people."
4488[23:17] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Leona, Igleta. Do you mind if we discuss this at home, the three of us?"
4489[23:17] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Please?"
4490[23:18] Ayano Kirigaia says, "Yeah, Let's not argue out here."
4491[23:18] Ayano Kirigaia says, "Vampires are still a threat."
4492[23:18] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "It's always, Hi Leona, and then poof. . you're gone. "
4493[23:18] Ayano Kirigaia says, "A massive one at that."
4494[23:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'll punch the vampires in their faces....."
4495[23:18] Ayano Kirigaia asks, "What if the Baron turns up?"
4496[23:18] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Igleta, dear. Can you do that for me?"
4497[23:18] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Make an effort.."
4498[23:19] Katrin Weiner says, "If Lucien shows up, then he gets to dance with lady Astaria and myself."
4499[23:19] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Fine."
4500[23:19] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Thank you, dearie."
4501[23:19] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Leona, do you wish to come as well? We can all speak more calmly then."
4502[23:20] Leona glances back at Yuki.
4503(Leona Itheis Mariposa)
4504--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4505
4506[23:20] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "It'll be alright, dearie. He's not running away from the city, and you can always come back."
4507[23:20] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<Still can't decide between your family and a friend, but yooou think I'm the one leaving you. Cool beans.>"
4508[23:20] Ayano Kirigaia says, "Yeah."
4509[23:20] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "Fine . . ."
4510[23:21] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Thank you.."
4511[23:21] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Yuki, was it?"
4512[23:21] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "Hmm.."
4513[23:21] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "Yeah.."
4514[23:21] Katrin thinks for a second and then looks at Yuki. She remains quiet for now though.
4515(Katrin Weiner)
4516--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4517
4518[23:21] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "We'll speak later, yes? Have a pleasant day."
4519[23:21] Yuki M. Emberstone says, "See ya."
4520[23:21] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hey."
4521[23:21] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Paladia!"
4522[23:22] Paladia says, "What in the nine hecks-"
4523[23:22] Astaria waves at Paladia enthusiastically with her ARMY OF CHILDREN.
4524(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4525--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4526
4527[23:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Ha! I found you!"
4528[23:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Come with us!"
4529[23:22] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "We're going to Dawn."
4530[23:22] Ayano waves alongside Astaria.
4531(Ayano Kirigaia)
4532--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4533
4534[23:22] Paladia says, "... I smell a bad idea written all over this."
4535[23:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Why?"
4536[23:23] Katrin Weiner says, "Okay.. I am tired.. I want to sleep, if you come with I'll give you a thousand coins."
4537[23:23] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang."
4538[23:23] Paladia exclaims, "Well, can't say no to that!"
4539[23:23] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Whoosh."
4540[23:25] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I'm quite tired as well, to be honest.. I do want to spend time with my children, though."
4541[23:27] Astaria Rosenkreuz exclaims, "Welcome home!"
4542[23:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yaay."
4543[23:27] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "The bedroom is upstairs. You may sort your beds as you wish."
4544[23:27] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I'm sure there's enough for all of you."
4545[23:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Did you ever find time to make the things, Paladia?"
4546[23:27] Katrin tosses Paladia a bag of one thousand coins. "Thank you for coming with."
4547(Katrin Weiner)
4548--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4549
4550[23:27] Paladia asks, "Sooo... You're adopting them all?"
4551[23:27] Astaria keeps an arm around Ayano's waistline, however, with her free hand reaching up to softly caress the girl's scalp.
4552(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4553--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4554
4555[23:27] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Ah.. yes."
4556[23:27] Igleta hops off of Katrin's back.
4557(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4558--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4559
4560[23:28] Paladia asks, "... And will you be indoctrinating them, as well?"
4561[23:28] Ayano Kirigaia says, "This is.."
4562[23:28] Ayano Kirigaia says, "An amazing place.."
4563[23:28] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "That's a strange word for it.."
4564[23:28] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I'll give them warm meals and give them advise if they ask me for it."
4565[23:28] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "And provide them with the affection all children should have."
4566[23:29] A small skeletal rat came bounding down the stairs and basically clawed it's way up Katrin.
4567
4568"Well hello there Raksis. Let's go get some sleep yea?"
4569
4570The rat made no sound, it couldn't. it had no muscle tissue. but after a moment Katrin made her way over to Igleta's side to plant a kiss on her cheek.
4571
4572"Don't forget to come to bed tonight Igleta."
4573(Katrin Weiner)
4574--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4575
4576[23:29] Paladia says, "To be fair, I was surprised Huangzhou had even allowed you in it. They arrested me for even being from Dawn..."
4577[23:29] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "I'm a special case, I suppose."
4578[23:30] Katrin Weiner says, "They let me because I'm a kid.. and most of the other kids are afraid of me.."
4579[23:30] Igleta would turn to face Katrin after the kiss is placed on her cheek. "Yeah. I'll be up there soon, I'm pretty tired anyways." She says, despite not showing any signs of exhaustion.
4580(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4581--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4582
4583[23:30] Paladia says, "Hm."
4584[23:31] The girl's eyes were wide, as she'd look over every single detail of the house. She seemed to almost be in awe..Like a child in a candy store. It was apparent that she had not been in many houses at all. Or really anywhere luxurious. Even the walls seemed to fascinate her, filling her with calm, passive emotions. It was certainly a sight to behold.
4585(Ayano Kirigaia)
4586--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4587
4588[23:31] Katrin Weiner whispers: Letty, please try and be nice to Leona, she wants to find someone who loves her like I love you.
4589[23:31] Katrin Weiner whispers: it will take time, she's not as lucky as you.
4590[23:31] Igleta turns to face Katrin.
4591(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4592--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4593
4594[23:32] Paladia folds her arms. She's visibly distrusting of the Neries, and it was pretty obvious that she thought that they were up to something with the children. Still, she wasn't one to intervene with this sort of thing either.
4595(Paladia)
4596--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4597
4598[23:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mmmmmm."
4599[23:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mhm."
4600[23:32] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . ."
4601[23:33] Katrin Weiner says, "Anyways, good night girls."
4602[23:33] Astaria smiles warmly at Ayano, with kindness and a glint of happiness through her silvery eyes as she stared at the girl, still carrying her. It didn't seem like the Neries was too keen on letting go of Ayano anytime soon-- at least, until she showed any sign of protest-- and would keep lightly brushing her fingernails over the girl's scalp in the meantime. Affectionate Mom Astaria.
4603(Astaria Rosenkreuz)
4604--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4605
4606[23:33] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hi Paladia."
4607[23:33] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Rest well, Kat."
4608[23:33] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
4609[23:33] Paladia says, "Hello Igleta. I've yet to complete any armor for you."
4610[23:33] Astaria Rosenkreuz asks, "Do you want to see your bedroom, Ayano?"
4611[23:33] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "D'awww. Oh well. "
4612[23:33] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Could I still request a weapon? Say yes please."
4613[23:34] Paladia says, "I suppose."
4614[23:34] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Are you okay?"
4615[23:35] Paladia says, "Don't mind me. A lot's happened today. Just... In my head."
4616[23:35] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh, that sounds difficult."
4617[23:35] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "What's a really cool magical weapon you could make?"
4618[23:35] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Any wands?"
4619[23:35] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "We'll speak soon, Igleta, Leona."
4620[23:36] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Nnngh."
4621[23:36] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "I don't know why you. . ."
4622[23:36] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm not doing this right now."
4623[23:36] Leona looks away, going quiet.
4624(Leona Itheis Mariposa)
4625--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4626
4627[23:36] Paladia asks, "A wand?"
4628[23:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mhm, yeah."
4629[23:37] Paladia says, "Never made anything that... Tiny."
4630[23:37] Paladia says, "I'll take a look into the process."
4631[23:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You're the best ever Paladia! Thanks."
4632[23:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh, you should put more stuff in your shop by your house. I go by there a lot. I'm, like, your number one customer."
4633[23:39] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "That's where I got this pretty bow."
4634[23:39] Paladia says, "I also have a shop in Deseti."
4635[23:39] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I don't know if I can go there, though."
4636[23:39] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I always get lost too."
4637[23:42] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . ."
4638[23:43] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Did you fall asleep, Paladia?"
4639[23:44] Igleta takes a seat at the table.
4640(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4641--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4642
4643[23:44] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh, my chest."
4644[23:45] Igleta recharges them runes, and heads back downstairs.
4645(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4646--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4647
4648[23:47] Igleta lays her head down and traces circles on the table with her fingertip.
4649(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4650--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4651
4652[23:47] Leona continues to quietly stare at the wall in front of her
4653(Leona Itheis Mariposa)
4654--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4655
4656[23:50] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Sooooo...."
4657[23:50] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "When you're dying you want to talk to me."
4658[23:51] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "When you're alive and nothing is wrong, you'd rather stare at the well."
4659[23:51] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Got it."
4660[23:52] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "It's not my fault . . . I don't like how you're hanging out with Astaria still."
4661[23:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I don't like how you're hanging out with Yuki, but apparently that's not an issue."
4662[23:53] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "Because he was all depressed, and alone? Do you want me to leave people like that? "
4663[23:54] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "He started smiling again recently, no thanks to you."
4664[23:54] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "If they choose to do it? Yeah."
4665[23:54] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "I don't know why you're nasty with him."
4666[23:54] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "No thanks to me?"
4667[23:54] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Are you serious?"
4668[23:54] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "I am serious. It's like you gave up on Yuki."
4669[23:54] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Jeez, I'm more surprised that literally everyone but your sister is important to you."
4670[23:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "No, he gave up on me."
4671[23:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Cause I went somewhere for a while."
4672[23:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "He decided I'm not worth saying hi to, I'm not worth talking to."
4673[23:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "However!"
4674[23:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You would rather sit here and take his side."
4675[23:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "When I'm your freaking sister."
4676[23:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "But apparently, I'm just a nasty peice of crap."
4677[23:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Whatever."
4678[23:55] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . . I didn't. . ."
4679[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You did."
4680[23:56] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "I didn't say that, Igleta."
4681[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You literally implied it."
4682[23:56] Leona turns towards Igleta.
4683(Leona Itheis Mariposa)
4684--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4685
4686[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You just told me."
4687[23:56] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, "Why are you putting words in my mouth?"
4688[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Because you're the one afraid to say them."
4689[23:56] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . ."
4690[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You literally just told me I gave up on someone."
4691[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "You remember all that time you were missing??"
4692[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Huh, do you remember all that????"
4693[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "All that time I was with Spectria and Yuki."
4694[23:56] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . . . ."
4695[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "When I finally found you, and chose to go back."
4696[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "He decided I wasn't important."
4697[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I wasn't worth a hello."
4698[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Do you hear that, Leona?"
4699[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Are you actually listening?"
4700[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I wasn't worth A HELLO."
4701[23:56] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "You never even bothered to explain why you weren't able to see him, did you? "
4702[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "See how you say hi to me?"
4703[23:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I did."
4704[23:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "He didn't care."
4705[23:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "He chose to walk off, all the time."
4706[23:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "He doesn't want to talk to me."
4707[23:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Why didn't you ask him that? Huh?"
4708[23:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I heard plenty of other people did."
4709[23:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "And they got told to go away."
4710[23:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "So don't try and act like I'm so freaking villain."
4711[23:57] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "Because I wasn't trying to make him out to be the bad guy. I'm not trying to demonize someone."
4712[23:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "But you are."
4713[23:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "YOU LITERALLY ARE"
4714[23:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "YOU JUST DON'T REALIZE IT'S ME THAT YOU'RE DOING IT TO."
4715[23:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Or maybe you do."
4716[23:58] Leona Itheis Mariposa exclaims, "Everyone else was bullying him. I'm not even DEMONIZING YOU!"
4717[23:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Pffft."
4718[23:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "'It's like you gave up on him.'"
4719[23:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Whatever....."
4720[23:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "That's bull....man."
4721[23:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "That's just not even cool."
4722[23:58] Leona Itheis Mariposa exclaims, "I didn't even want to be his friend! I'm doing all of this for you!"
4723[23:58] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I went month after month."
4724[23:59] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Ev-"
4725[23:59] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm done."
4726[23:59] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "So you two can be fricken friends again."
4727[23:59] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Nope, I'm done."
4728[23:59] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "It's so stupid on why you guys are even not friends anymore."
4729[23:59] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You're doing this -for- me, somehow. Yet, I don't know about it."
4730[23:59] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yeah, well you probably should've talked to him about it."
4731[23:59] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "It's clear you didn't."
4732[00:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Or maybe he just brushed it off, like he does to everyone else."
4733[00:00] Leona Itheis Mariposa exclaims, "You don't know about it? You know why you don't know about it? Because you're always busy being with other people!"
4734[00:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yeah, cause I'm not going to let someone treat me like crap."
4735[00:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm not doing that."
4736[00:00] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm just not, Leona."
4737[00:01] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "I'm trying to make you two friends again, but none of you are even working with me here."
4738[00:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Cause you can't fix everything."
4739[00:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Stop trying to."
4740[00:02] * You have been awarded 1 Roleplay Points! *
4741[00:02] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . . It makes no sense. It still doesn't make any sense to me. You two were really good friends, but . . . "
4742[00:02] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "Yuki isn't a bad person."
4743[00:02] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Don't care."
4744[00:02] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Tried to care."
4745[00:02] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "He's nice to me."
4746[00:02] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Good for you."
4747[00:02] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Maybe he won't be anymore when you go back"
4748[00:02] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Cause you were gone for literally no time at all."
4749[00:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yet, that's just enough for him to decide you don't matter anymore."
4750[00:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "How would you feel Leona..."
4751[00:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Tell me, seriously..."
4752[00:03] Igleta marches over to Leona.

4756[00:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "If when you called out to me."
4757[00:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I just kept going and didn't say anything."
4758[00:04] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . . . "
4759[00:04] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "It would hurt . ."
4760[00:04] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "If when you approached me in town, I asked you what you wanted. And then, if it wasn't anything about someone dying I told you I 'wasn't interested.'"
4761[00:04] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "If when you asked me what was wrong I told you, 'I'm not the same.'"
4762[00:05] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Then when you ask I tell you, 'I'm leaving.'"
4763[00:05] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "And freaking leave."
4764[00:05] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . I still wouldn't give up on you if you did that to me. I'd keep trying, and trying."
4765[00:05] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "When everytime you try to talk to me, I sit there and ignore you or repeat the second thing I just told you."
4766[00:05] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm not wasting my life on one person, Leona."
4767[00:05] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Sorry, you can go do that."
4768[00:06] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "Do you just expect me to take sides, and ditch him? "
4769[00:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "No, I expect you to not realize what you're losing."
4770[00:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "It doesn't matter though. No one cares until it's gone."
4771[00:07] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "You're my sister. You should know that most of the things I do is for you."
4772[00:07] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You sure have a good way of showing that, Leona."
4773[00:07] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Someone should give you an award."
4774[00:08] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . What about you? You're always too busy to spend time with me. It's like I'm still missing to you. Sure . . you come by, and say hi, but you can't even stay for ten minutes."
4775[00:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Pretty sure I sat on the bench for fourteen hours today."
4776[00:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "And twelve yesterday."
4777[00:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Should I keep going?"
4778[00:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "So that you can realize you're the one who's not actually where you think are?"
4779[00:10] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, "Sitting on the bench means spending time with your sister?"
4780[00:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Sitting on a bench means I'm avaialble."
4781[00:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Do you think I just always know where you are?"
4782[00:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Do you think you tell me where you are?"
4783[00:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Or did these things just not cross your mind?"
4784[00:11] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "Then how about the times when I'm there? When I try to talk to you, and you cut me off, and go leave with your girlfriend, and company."
4785[00:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Let me ask you, Leona."
4786[00:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "How did you get hurt?"
4787[00:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Not by who, how."
4788[00:12] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . I tried to stop Najal, and Yuki from fighting each other."
4789[00:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Fighting for what?"
4790[00:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Najal is a really nice person, super shy."
4791[00:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yuki, as you said, is a nice person."
4792[00:13] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "Najal was mad about Yuki . . . treating you like crap, and hanging out with me instead."
4793[00:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Huh, amazing."
4794[00:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Let me guess."
4795[00:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "You sat there as he said that right?"
4796[00:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Did you ask Yuki what was going on? How about asking Najal to calm down so you could find out?"
4797[00:14] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "I did try to calm them down."
4798[00:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mhm."
4799[00:14] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "It's not my fault if someone gets out of control with their magic, Igleta."
4800[00:16] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Uh huh."
4801[00:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Just go date him."
4802[00:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm over it."
4803[00:17] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "I'm not dating him."
4804[00:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Whatever. It sure sounds like it."
4805[00:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You're defending him on every front."
4806[00:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm good, Leona."
4807[00:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You've made your point."
4808[00:17] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "I just wanted to do the right thing . . ."
4809[00:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Strangers and friends mean more than family."
4810[00:17] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . ."
4811[00:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "So I'll remember that."
4812[00:18] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "That's not true . . ."
4813[00:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Then look in the mirror."
4814[00:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Cause you're saying it."
4815[00:18] Leona Itheis Mariposa exclaims, "I'm not saying that!"
4816[00:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Do you realize that you're arguing with me."
4817[00:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Over a friend?"
4818[00:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "A freaking friend."
4819[00:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Just whatever."
4820[00:19] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Go do the right thing."
4821[00:19] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "It clearly doesn't involve me."
4822[00:19] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, "Do you just want me to abandon him . . . ?"
4823[00:19] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I told you, I'm over it."
4824[00:19] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I don't care what you do."
4825[00:20] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "Fine . . ."
4826[00:20] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "It's just bullshit...."
4827[00:20] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "I don't even know why I have to sit through this, hearing you say things that make me feel like crap because I'm trying to be nice to someone."
4828[00:20] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yeah, being nice to someone at my expense."
4829[00:20] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "BUT YOU SAY IT'S FOR ME!?"
4830[00:20] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You literally replaced me."
4831[00:20] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "That's what it sounds like, but you don't see it like that, do oyu?"
4832[00:20] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Do you!?"
4833[00:20] Leona Itheis Mariposa exclaims, "I DID THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE FOR YOU, IGLETA!"
4834[00:21] Leona Itheis Mariposa exclaims, "If this wasn't for you? I wouldn't even approach him!"
4835[00:21] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "But you heard what I just said..."
4836[00:21] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "So ask yourself again."
4837[00:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Who is it for?"
4838[00:22] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Is it for Igleta, for Leona, or for Yuki?"
4839[00:22] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, "Why are you forcing me to make a choice? Do . . Do you think that's fair?"
4840[00:23] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Do you think it's fair to hang out with the guy that treats me like garbage, and stand in his defense?"
4841[00:23] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, "I'm trying to do this for you! I keep saying that, I keep trying to make Yuki stop being such a jerk to you! You think I like when he talks trash about you!?"
4842[00:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "But you let him do it...apparently."
4843[00:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "You know what happened to Sei when he tried that?"
4844[00:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I told him to shut up, and he did."
4845[00:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Cause no one talks trash about my sisters around me, but I guess that's different for you and Spectria."
4846[00:25] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "It's not different . . ."
4847[00:25] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . You know . . You know me, Igleta. . "
4848[00:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hi Paladia."
4849[00:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Will you keep my sister company?"
4850[00:25] Paladia says, "Ah, no! I'm afraid I have some business I have to run and do."
4851[00:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hey."
4852[00:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Let me stay in your house....."
4853[00:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Please."
4854[00:26] Paladia asks, "... Wha- Why?"
4855[00:26] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . ."
4856[00:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Cause apparently staying where people are nice to me makes me a piece of shit."
4857[00:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "And apparently staying with people that care about me, makes me part of the enemy."
4858[00:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "So I know that barely anyone knows where you live."
4859[00:27] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I can just hang out there alone, unless you stop by, and then I guess I can't be judged."
4860[00:27] Paladia says, "Tch... I can't say I don't know the feeling."
4861[00:27] Paladia says, "Don't worry though. You just have to let your actions speak."
4862[00:27] Paladia says, "Alright! We can head over."
4863[00:27] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . Igleta."
4864[00:28] Paladia says, "Just know that i'm in the middle of moving."
4865[00:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Alright. Let me just grab my favorite skirt."
4866[00:28] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You can stay Leona, or they can take you back to Huangzho. I'm leaving."
4867[00:29] Leona Itheis Mariposa asks, ". . Why don't you . . stay with me? In Huangzhou?"
4868[00:29] Paladia says, "Huangzhou isn't right for everyone."
4869[00:29] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Just a selfish thing aren't you? Cause then I get to stay around the guy that treats me like crap, and hear it from you everyday."
4870[00:30] Paladia says, "Because I try to see the good in all people, for example, I'm very much hated by certain individuals there."
4871[00:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hear how I'm just now trying to do anything...."
4872[00:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Sorry, I'm leaving Kat."
4873[00:31] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Just...forget about me I guess."
4874[00:31] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Sorry."
4875[00:31] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Can you tell no one I'm there, Paladia?"
4876[00:31] Leona lowers her hands as she turns towards Igleta with a frown.
4877(Leona Itheis Mariposa)
4878--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4879
4880[00:31] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Sorry, sad faces don't work on me Leona."
4881[00:31] Igleta turns her back to the girl.
4882(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4883--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4884
4885[00:31] Paladia says, "Of couse. Leona, you're more than welcome to visit too."
4886[00:31] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "You know I didn't mean that, Igleta.--"
4887[00:31] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . ."
4888[00:32] Paladia says, "I don't know what's going on between you two..."
4889[00:32] Paladia says, "But I hope you can work it out."
4890[00:32] Paladia says, "Or I'll shoot you."
4891[00:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Shoot her then."
4892[00:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "She put a boy in the middle."
4893[00:32] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, ". . ."
4894[00:32] Paladia asks, "Sooo... Share?"
4895[00:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Like a freaking boy matters."
4896[00:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I don't want him."
4897[00:32] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "I. . "
4898[00:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I don't care."
4899[00:33] Paladia asks, "Then why be angry if you don't care?"
4900[00:33] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Can we just go......."
4901[00:33] Leona begins to tear up as she begins to rub her arms across her face.
4902(Leona Itheis Mariposa)
4903--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4904
4905[00:33] Leona Itheis Mariposa says, "Fine . ."
4906[00:33] Paladia says, "Mm. Fine. Let's go."
4907[00:34] Igleta walks in and quickly pulls the bottle of Sake from her satchel.
4908(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4909--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4910
4911[00:35] Paladia asks, "Mmm... Which order to work on while I'm here..?"
4912[00:35] Paladia says, "I suppose it's about time I started that one... Because he IS paying."
4913[00:36] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Do you want my money?"
4914[00:36] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You can have it."
4915[00:36] Paladia says, "No. I said I'd give you a set for free-"
4916[00:36] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I don't use it for anything, anyways."
4917[00:36] Paladia says, "Actually, I'm dumb."
4918[00:36] Paladia says, "Wait a moment."
4919[00:42] Paladia would return to her forge with a set of bandolier armors. They weren't total body coverage, but it'd protect the vitals any day of the weak. It was incredibly light thanks to being made of mythril, and one could see Paladia's trademark runes along the edges of it. It was incredibly high quality armor.
4920
4921"This was made for an adult, so it's probably a bit bigger than you are. You'll have to grow into it a bit, but at least maybe by then you won't be so rambunctious. And even if you are, you'll be safer."
4922
4923"So this is my gift to you."
4924(Paladia)
4925--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4926
4927[00:44] Igleta glances at the armor with those steel eyes of hers. Though, was there anyone home? Didn't matter much anymore. The youth would turn her gaze to Paladia and nod at her before taking the cap off of the sake. "Is there a chest I can use? Just for to hold a few things until later? I can't even fit the armor anymore." Igleta explains as she sits on the ground and places the opened bottle atop her lap.
4928(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4929--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4930
4931[00:44] {Item} You drop Long Shirt (Recolorable).
4932[00:44] {Item} You picked up Mythril Chestplate. Dropped by Paladia. .
4933[00:44] {Item} You drop Soft Socks.
4934[00:44] {Item} You picked up MythrilLegs. Dropped by Paladia. .
4935[00:45] Paladia says, "Sure. I thiiink this one will be fine."
4936[00:45] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Thanks."
4937[00:45] Paladia says, "THere you go."
4938[00:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I won't try to stay long. I'll just figure out something."
4939[00:46] Paladia says, "It's fine, it really is."
4940[00:46] Paladia says, "I understand a need for solace."
4941[00:47] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "....Thanks."
4942[00:48] Paladia asks, "Now, wanna see a real show?"
4943[00:48] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Hm?"
4944[00:48] Paladia says, "I'm about to make my next order. Nyeshk armor, full set."
4945[00:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Sure."
4946[00:58] Paladia would smirk, as she walked towards her forge. With a flick of her wrist, a bolt of plasma would surge from her fingertips into the metal basin, igniting it. The woman would undo a large bag, and dump it into the forge. Black rocks would tumble out, each one giving a ridiculous thud as it impacted.
4947
4948"See, unlike most smiths, I don't use tools. I was taught by Lusion how to perform 'materialization'. It's a technique where one uses their mind and magic to form the metal. Once one gets used to it... It's so much more exact than a hammer ever could dream of being."
4949
4950With that, she'd step back from the forge. A storm erupted from her body suddenly, violent blasts of violet plasma bursting into the chamber. The heat was immense, so much hotter than flame - A necessity for working with Nyeshk. Normal flames wouldn't even make it blanche.
4951
4952Within the forge, Igleta would be able to witness, past the storm of deadly plasma - The liquified Nyeshk beginning to rise into the air. It was stroked and pelted by the plasma, honed in ways that were wonderous to behold. It was like a smithing session combined with a lightshow combined with sorcerous might.
4953
4954Bit by bit, the armor would fit itself together, parts melting into one another. It was no wonder why armors made by Paladia stood out so much from the norm, her plasma materializations could create seamless interworkings that even other master smiths could be jealous of.
4955
4956At last the storm would cease, and a perfectly forged set of Nyeshk armor would be standing in the forge, cooling and waiting for Paladia.
4957(Paladia)
4958--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4959
4960[01:01] * You have been awarded 1 Roleplay Points! *
4961[01:08] While Igleta would watch Paladia work. The youth would press the sake bottle against her lips and start to down the liquor. Immediately, she pulls it from her mouth and sticks out her tongue. It burned and it was disgusting, but this was one of the things that the adults seemed to use. So apparently it helped in someway, and she was tired of always crying about everything. Crying didn't help anything and no one really cared, they just pretended to care. That much was clear to her now.
4962
4963Hearing Paladia talk about her art was usually interesting, but the child was just distant. She had a lot figured, but just threw it away. Being blamed again and again, it wasn't worth it anymore. She didn't even love the people who loved her. She just tried to make them happy, but no longer could that be a thing if she wanted to make herself happy. It was fun, sure, it was a lot of fun to hang out with people and just try to enjoy being alive, but being alive wasn't goinganywhere anymore.
4964
4965"That's cool." The girl states in an unenthusiastic tone before pressing the bottle against her mouth again. Materialization was rather interesting and the child would have loved to learn more about it in a different situation. She just continued to watch and drink, and drink again. The taste was foul, but she was finally starting to keep the liquor down instead of spitting it out. It was heavy, it was weird, and it messed with her head. Eventually, the armor would be completed before her very eyes. A piece of Nyeshk armor. "Dang, that's cool."
4966(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4967--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4968
4969[01:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Do you think I can trade out the Mythril? I was stupid, I thought I was strong and forgot that I'm not. Well, no, you said I need to grow into it, yeah..."
4970[01:14] Paladia says, "I gave you it to grow into. By the time you can wear THAT, you'll be ready for the real world of combat that'd be NEEDING it."
4971[01:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yeah, you're right. Sorry, it's just me being stupid again."
4972[01:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'll try to be gone before the middle of the year."
4973[01:18] Paladia says, "Ah, there's no rush. Honestly, once I get everthing moved out, I'd probably be willing to sell the place."
4974[01:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yeah, it'll be hard to sell it with a bum stay in it though."
4975[01:19] Paladia says, "Hahaha. I meant, maybe to you. If you'd be interested in having your own place."
4976[01:19] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "It's too close to the others."
4977[01:19] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'm sure they'll try to find me when they realize I'm gone."
4978[01:19] Paladia says, "Mmm. Alright."
4979[01:20] Paladia says, "Anyways, I have to go deliver this now. I'm pulling in a tooooon of coin off this order."
4980[01:20] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Alright."
4981[01:24] {Item} You drop Robe.
4982[02:05] Having drank an entire bottle of Sake herself, the young teenager was far more than under the influence with the assistance of her extremely small frame. There wasn't much resistance and it quickly took effect on her. Without thinking much on it, Igleta would come to a wobbly stand and make her way over towards the mirror within the house. She stared at it for a long time, but all she could see was a sickening vision of a crying girl. Was it even a real image? It was, down her face ran tears that she didn't want to see. In that image of her face she could witness the pain that reached all about her frame.
4983
4984There was always confusion and depression. A constant pile of garbage that sat upon her chest and yet she tried to ignore. Yet, within this mirror image she was able to find everything about herself that she found so ugly,; that the others found so ugly. So many compliments came her way and yet none of it seemed to mean anything anymore. On her face, the cheek marks truly were gone. It had been almost two years and the girl only looked towards it now. More tears continued to run down her face and yet she couldn't feel them falling from her ears, but only running down her cheeks as they fled. Her eyes were swollen from how long she had sat in this place crying while drank and watched Paladia work.
4985
4986Strength was truly something that the child lacked and so she needed something else. If not strength, what could feel the void? Igleta wasn't certain what she needed in her life to handle this. Suddenly, she pulled the katana off of her back and took hold of her hair. What she saw was that same weak girl that always cried for help, cried for attention, and it sickened her now. A quick swing of the blade and locks of hair collapsed onto the ground, and again, and again, and again. The little one would continue this act until finally there was nothing left of her hair. All of it was now littering the ground. With each stroke, it was a pain and a relief. A memory and a representation. The youth would be freed from this part of her life.
4987
4988Finally, the blade is dropped onto the ground. The young girl stares at her new mirror image. She felt better, but only superficially. There was a severe pain within her heart and she couldn't identify it. Was it what she had done to Katrin? Just leaving the woman to her own vices at this point in time was a hard decision to make and yet it was one that she made rather quickly, and in the heat of the moment. Her ferocity had become so wild that she was lashing out at everyone around her, including herself. In the end, all she could think about was how she told them again and again that she wasn't trying to deal with it. It had become too late and here should would be sitting alone. Those tears didn't stop, if anything they simply became worse.
4989(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
4990--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4991
4992[02:51] It had been many hours that Igleta remained within the house staring at herself in the mirror. As much of the hair that could be cut off without her cutting herself had been removed, and what was left now she couldn't even hit due to her inebriation. The youth left the blade on the ground all this time and started to stumble outside. All she had was the abilities of a normal human being. There was no strength of a magi to be found and it had been this way for over a year now. For fourteen long months she had to experience so much and be virtually useless through it all while the others had options that they could pick from. The words that Astaria gave her resonated within her in this time : "Don't let anyone pick your decisions for you."
4993
4994She fell onto the ground outside. The pitch darkness was about the area and all she could find was the harsh grass upon her frame. It was ever so dark and most of her body was numb. The outskirts of Dawn, a town that had become a home away from home to her had lost its muster. How could she desire to remain here when all that remained was nothing more than depression and old love, Necromancy, and the path to the Dreamer. This wasn't anything that she wanted, no, she was tired of trying to live for other people. It was time that she started to do things the way that she wanted to.
4995
4996Suddenly, she felt that influence once again, that bizarre and overwhelming soothing feeling. The light up above became clear. As the youth raised her head during this drunken state she would find herself staring directly at the face of an enormous Blood Moon. It was like the thing was looking back at her. What was she to do right now? Everything was gone and it was her own decision to leave all these things behind. All of it was nothing more than decisions being made for her. Who could be her friends, who could be her lovers, who were her enemies, and even who would be there the next day. That moon radiated asweet bliss from its form while it wrapped itself around her form.
4997
4998The normally steel eyes would reflect the coloration of the blood moon and the pain of the broken family, the shattered Mariposa, rang inside of her heart. It was painful, it literally hurt her and she grabbed her chest while the tears continued to fall from her eyes. She pulled the wand from her sleeve and pointed it towards the moon itself. She was angry, she was beyond willing to hear the voice of anything. Even if the Angels or the many gods that everyone said existed were to speak to her, she would cast them away from her ears. All that she wanted was a solace from all these things in this world, a moment of reprieve to find herself awoken anew.
4999
5000The moon lingered.....
5001
5002"Why? Why do all the people I care about have to treat me like that? They either act like I'm too stupid to know what's going on, that I'm too ignorant to find myself, or that I'm just another tool for them to use! Why isn't there just something to make the hurt stop!? HUH!? There's so many Gods out there, and even you Angels that just sit back and laugh! Is this funny? It is right?" She screamed out before dropping the wand onto the ground accidentally. With an arm reaching towards it, she would stumble from her knees completely onto the ground face first. It was obvious that she couldn't handle the alcohol that she was stupidly allowed to take.
5003
5004The blood red rays would descend upon her location. Her body would become enveloped within it now. The red rays pulsating through her body, a foreign cosmic energy was carried within this light, a foreign will. The strength of the star Noel, whose cosmic energy was binding her mana circuitry by purposeful placement to keep the mage from using any of her abilities, would become nothing more than a parlor trick. This invasive, aggressive, and destructive cosmic force slammed into itdirectly and pushed it aside, dispelling. The voice of Noel attempted to reach the one he called his charge, and yet it would never reach. No voice would reach the child, just as she had asked she would receive; Solace.
5005
5006Slowly, her mind was clearing from the inebriation and in the distance the sun was rising as that ominous moon began to descend out of view. As her eyes met with it last one time, the vanished cheek marks would begin to re-appear upon her face. They, however, would be burned into existence once more with the essence of this red cosmic power. It was impure, foul, and nothing that originally composed them. Slowly, the moon was consumed as the Sun rose up and the child would be sitting on her knees now just staring at the sun rise and the vanishing of the moon. Her eyes reflecting the orange glow of the sun now. Once again, the Moon had intervened and as it always did when it was present it altered how she interacted in the world.
5007
5008Raising up her wand, Igleta would find her mirror image once again in its reflection. The crescent moons visible on her face. No longer was her mana blocked, and her power as a mage was returning to her rapidly.
5009(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
5010--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5011
5012[03:17] The metal faced Oscuri was taking a walk through Dawn, nothing unusual about that. Oscuri in Dawn? Oh wow such a shock. Seems she was making way towards the caverns, but pauses upon noticing a young girl outside Paladia's home.
5013
5014She raises a vine-wrapped hand up to scratch the top of her head, as she moseys on over near the young one.
5015
5016"Hey there, kiddo... Haven't seen you before. Not that I... really come here that often... I'm just rambling now ain't I?"
5017
5018She clears her throat and straightens her posture. An arm goes out in front of her, across her torso, and she bends forward slightly into a bow.
5019
5020"Name's Alexandrea."

5022--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5023
5024[03:23] Eclipsa would turn her head as the sun continued to rise. She hadn't expected any voices at this point and yet there was some. The sake was wearing off, the final stretch of its effects nearing a conclusion. Her eyes linger on the woman for a while longer and she just continues to look at her as the name is stated. It was hard to actually make sense of what was going on, of what was actually happening. After all, she had just witnessed her first blood moon and was literally bathed within its light. The little one's mouth would open to prepare words, but nothing came out immediately.
5025
5026Slowly, her mouth began to close as she didn't find the will to actually speak with this unknown individual. However, it was then that the name struck a memory. Those steel eyes, no longer reflecting he coloration of the sunlight, stared at that metal face. "Val's mom?" The little one would inquire before pushing herself off of the ground and coming to a wobblystand. Having her mana flowing once again, and suddenly at that, would take some re-adjusting. She had spent over a year without the abilities of a mage and now to have them returning so quickly was more volatile than anything else. Slight indents are left in the ground from the super-human strength that most magi possessed.
5027
5028"Val's mom and Song's wife? The Guardian of the Glade and protector of Mother Adsila?" Eclipsa would inquire as she took a step forward and then halted bringing her wand back into her outfit. It wasn't something that she wanted to have the woman focusing on. After all, she had never actually met the woman in person.

5030--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5031
5032[03:26] Alexandrea rubs the back of her neck. Was she that well known already, or was Val running around being mischievous again? "Ahh... yeah. That's me... Val didn't hurt you did she?"
5033(Alexandrea)
5034--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5035[03:26] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<*would shake her head in response to Alexandrea. "No, Val is one of my friends. She was really proud to talk about you and Song. I didn't think you would ever be outside of the Glade with a title like yours." She explains."
5036[03:27] Igleta would shake her head in response to Alexandrea. "No, Val is one of my friends. She was really proud to talk about you and Song. I didn't think you would ever be outside of the Glade with a title like yours." She explains.
5037(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
5038--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5039
5040[03:29] Alexandrea says, "She's finally making friends? That's... that's good. Speaking good about Song though I don't really see. Last I knew she was angry at him."
5041[03:30] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh. She didn't mention any problems between the three of you. Just that...you and Song were married. Something like that, dating? I don't know..."
5042[03:31] Alexandrea says, "Well... he proposed to me. We're not actually married yet. She didn't seem very happy about it though. She really learned to be... violent. Mmh, not sure where she could have possibly gotten that from."
5043[03:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I wouldn't know....."
5044[03:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Are you heading back to the Glade?"
5045[03:32] Alexandrea asks, "Well I am suppose to be on the look out for someone... Would you happen to know anyone that matches the descirption of uh... Male, silver hair, and carries a trident?"
5046[03:32] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Nope, but I keep hearing that."
5047[03:33] Alexandrea says, "Ah... well if you see him do make his internal oragans external ones... or just run away. I don't know how strong he is, or how strong you are for that matter."
5048[03:34] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Well...could you take me to the Glade, maybe?"
5049[03:34] Alexandrea asks, "Mmh... Val never showed you?"
5050[03:35] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "No, but I've been there a few times. I've just never stayed there. I'd like to see Mother Adsila if I can."
5051[03:36] Alexandrea says, "Mmm... I don't know if she's around currently... I can escort you to the Glade though. Perhaps Song would be around..."
5052[03:36] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'd appreciate that. Song would be nice company or even Fox."
5053[03:36] Alexandrea winces at the mention of Fox. "Yeah sure... if you like stupid."
5054(Alexandrea)
5055--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5056
5057[03:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "He's, at least, not ridiculous. At least not that I've seen."
5058[03:37] Alexandrea says, "I yelled at him for breaking into a chest in Auroras house and his response was 'Hey it's okay. I was just curious. Didn't take anything!'... While I watched him take a coat from the chest."
5059[03:37] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "-"
5060[03:38] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "*lets out a short sigh in response to Alexandrea's words. "I guess everyone has their moments...." She would utter afterwords."
5061[03:38] Igleta lets out a short sigh in response to Alexandrea's words. "I guess everyone has their moments...." She would utter afterwords."
5062(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
5063--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5064
5065[03:39] Alexandrea asks, "He really just likes to push my buttons I think... anyway, shall we?"
5066[03:39] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yeah."
5067[03:39] Alexandrea wooshes.
5068(Alexandrea)
5069--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5070
5071[03:43] Alexandrea asks, "Ta...da?"
5072[03:43] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "It really is a placed filled with nature. It's been too long since I was here."
5073[03:44] Alexandrea says, "That's because anyone who harms nature here gets turned into a bloody mess..."
5074[03:44] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "As they should."
5075[03:44] Eccentric Song exclaims, "Hello!"
5076[03:44] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hey Song."
5077[03:45] Alexandrea says, "Hello dear."
5078[03:45] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Where's Fox and the rest of the gang at?"
5079[03:45] Alexandrea shivers at Fox's name. Stop saying that.
5080(Alexandrea)
5081--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5082
5083[03:45] Eccentric Song says, "Likely in huangzhou, or the northern caves"
5084[03:46] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Oh, were you leaving any time soon?"
5085[03:48] Eccentric Song says, "I'll be in the glade for awhile, mm"
5086[03:48] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Mind some company?"
5087[03:49] Alexandrea says, "Nothing else really going on this morning..."
5088[03:49] Eccentric Song says, "fine by me"
5089[03:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Cool."
5090[03:49] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Is there a general place around, or are most the buildings homes?"
5091[03:50] Eccentric Song says, "Most of the buildings are homes, but there's the communal sleeping area, and the meeting room just over to the east"
5092[03:51] Alexandrea says, "Could have a little sit down in our home, we have that table."
5093[03:51] Eccentric Song says, "Mmm, that's true"
5094[03:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Sure. I'm just going to sit around later on anyways. Company would be nice."
5095[03:54] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh, you're house is actually a lot more simple than I was expecting Song."
5096[03:55] Eccentric Song says, "Mmm, most of the places in the glade are fairly minimalistic."
5097[03:55] Alexandrea says, "It's not... bad."
5098[03:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "No, no, I never meant that it was bad."
5099[03:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I like it, it's simple and to the point. It's not excess."
5100[03:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "What does it take to even join the Glade?"
5101[03:56] Alexandrea says, "Asking... and a little ritual with Adsila."
5102[03:56] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "A ritual?"
5103[03:56] Alexandrea holds up her hand, with the vine wrapped around her wrist... that grows from her wrist.
5104(Alexandrea)
5105--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5106
5107[03:57] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "*cocks her head to the side looking at the vine. "Well, that's a bit different. So you're all like, part nature or something from the ritual?" She would inquire."
5108[03:57] Igleta cocks her head to the side looking at the vine. "Well, that's a bit different. So you're all like, part nature or something from the ritual?" She would inquire.
5109(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
5110--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5111
5112[03:59] Alexandrea says, "Uuuh... I'm one with a vine on my wrist that occasionally moves when Adsila wants something..."
5113[03:59] Eccentric Song says, "It's almost purely aesthetic at this point, mmm."
5114[03:59] Eccentric Song says, "Well, for me, anyway."
5115[04:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Oh, so it just connects you to Adsila?"
5116[04:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "That actually doesn't sound bad at all."
5117[04:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hey, Song....since I have you for a moment. I meant to ask you before about a weapon."
5118[04:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Did you end up making any new designs or anything?"
5119[04:07] Eccentric Song says, "Haven't come up with any new designs in awhile, but I should have something to fit most needs"
5120[04:07] Eccentric Song asks, "What kind of weapon were you looking for?"
5121[04:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mmmmm."
5122[04:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I was looking for something in the magical department. Errr.... I don't really specifics, honestly. I'm not a very crafty person."
5123[04:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Maybe a stave?"
5124[04:10] Eccentric Song asks, "Mmmm... so, are you a beginner?"
5125[04:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "No, I'm pretty decent. I'm nothing amazing, though."
5126[04:12] Eccentric Song says, "For 700 coins, I can make you a pretty great staff, mmm."
5127[04:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Sure, and if I wanted it enchanted?"
5128[04:13] Eccentric Song says, "another 600 coins, yeap"
5129[04:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Can we do it now?"
5130[04:14] {Item} Dropped a bag of 1300 Coins.
5131[04:14] Eccentric Song says, "I'll get to work on it now, mm"
5132[04:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I'll pay ahead of time."
5133[04:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "*drops a bag of coins onto the table. "I've always been a fan of your work." She comments."
5134[04:14] Eccentric Song exclaims, "Thank you!"
5135[04:15] Igleta drops a bag of coins onto the table. "I've always been a fan of your work." She comments.

5138
5139[04:18] Igleta also offers Song a delicious pumpkin pie made by Azira!
5140(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
5141--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5142
5143[04:18] {Item} You drop Pumpkin Pie.
5144[04:18] Eccentric Song says, "Oho, thank you"
5145[04:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Just in case you're hungry."
5146[04:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I know you like those."
5147[04:18] Alexandrea asks, "You like pumpkin pie?"
5148[04:18] Eccentric Song says, "Mmm, it's alright. Its in fashion at the moment."
5149[04:18] Eccentric Song exclaims, "Your staff is complete!"
5150[04:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang, that was fast."
5151[04:19] {Item} You picked up Grand Magi's Staff. Dropped by Eccentric Song. .
5152[04:19] Eccentric Song says, "I've made a lot of 'em"
5153[04:19] Alexandrea says, "He is the best."
5154[04:19] Igleta has acquired a Grand Magi's Staff. Insert FFX victory music.

5156--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5157
5158[04:19] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "He is! Hey Song, I know you get around a lot."
5159[04:19] Alexandrea would prefer zelda new item fanfare.
5160(Alexandrea)
5161--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5162-----------------
5163[06:33] Katrin had been frantically searching basically fucking everywhere, She had started with looking around Dawn, then Crafthold, then straight to Huangzhou. As she continued to travel around she had been shouting every few minutes.
5164
5165"Igleta! Igleta where are you!"
5166
5167Even as she made her way back to the Glades, tears in her eyes as she feared the worst, she didn't stop looking. Katrin even went as far as asking Song if he'd seen her, and walking straight in to numerous houses in the Glades.
5168
5169The only reason Katrin checked so much of the glades is she knew how often Igleta spoke about the place.
5170
5171Katrin was beginning to lose herself to her emotions and her searching, her cosmic connection getting the best of her and forcing unwanted feelings on her. Katrin was doing what she could to remain calm. She took a few deep breaths in, and decided to think by the water that lead to a small fall, but upon arriving, she saw someone just across the water.
5172
5173Katrin squinted as she quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes, those cheeks, those eyes, everything about the person matched, except the hair.
5174
5175"I-I-Igleta?"
5176
5177Katrin said weakly as she rose into the air for a slightly better vantage point.
5178
5179"IGLETA!" Katrin quickly dashed across the water, sending a large wave of water to each side.
5180
5181"Igleta! I've been looking everywhere for you, what's going on, ar eyou okay? Are you hurt? You had me worried sick about you, what's going on. I can't just forget about you, a- and you you just can't do that to me.. it's not fair Igleta!"
5182
5183Though she had wiped the tears away, they were simply replaced with more. She looked at Igleta and it was clear that Katrin was quite terrified. It would be a new expression for Igleta to take in, since Katrin never really looked scared before.
5184
5185(Katrin Weiner)
5186--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5187
5188[06:51] It was peaceful, devoid of sounds besides those found in nature, and only a small piece of land there would be a small girl. She would be standing in place with a large staff on her back staring at the water down below. Everything was so serene until the voice of a panicked individual began to ring through all of the serenity. The girl wouldn't move though, because she knew the voice that was calling out. It might have been concerned and far more unsteady than she had ever heard it before, but the name being called out was her own. Suddenly, the visual of Katrin became clear to Igleta, and yet the girl wouldn't even focus her gaze on her.
5189
5190Instead, the youth just continues to stare at the water even as her name is called at a shorter distance. The other girl would start flying above and dash over towards her causing a large wave to split in the middle of the river that she was enjoying. A short sigh escapes from Igleta before she taps the large staff on her back and just stared onwards watching all of the fish within the water struggling to get to the other sides of the water.
5191
5192"How sad." She would state as Katrin continued to fly and speak towards her. Stating how it wasn't fair and yet still questioning if she was alright. The little brown-haired girl would finally raise her gaze to look at Katrin. Not enough time had passed as she was hoping and as such all of those emotions weren't gone, in fact most of the emotion she felt was still there. Seeing the older girl in such a scared and panicked looked somehow made her stomach turn. It was painful and heart-breaking to her, but still she didn't want to budge. She had made her stance and she just didn't want to go back to the way things were that had led to this situation to begin with.
5193
5194A longer sigh is given from Igleta before she spoke. "You never could listen to me, huh?" She would ask before lowering her gaze away from Katrin. Continuing to look at her was going to inevitable break the willpower that she had built up. "You weren't supposed to look for me, you know. I'm just....I'm not good for you Katrin. You can find someone way better than me and..." The girl's voice would break as she stated the last words. The emotion within her body still overwhelmingly strong, but this was not the time to allow herself to buckle. "Why isn't it fair?" She would finally ask.
5195(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
5196--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5197
5198[06:59] Katrin looked at Igleta with concern after hearing her words.
5199
5200"Igleta, I don't need to follow your demands, I have my own wants as well, you told me I am not your slave and I never will be."
5201
5202Katrin gently reached out to place a hand on Igleta's cheek to softly turn her so that she could look at the person she loved.
5203
5204"There won't ever be a time that I won't look for you, you're the person I love, and the person I want to spend my whole life with. To me, there's not anybody better than you, because to me, you are perfect in every single way. You can say that you're not good for me, but don't you think that I should be able to decide who is and is not good enough for me?"
5205
5206Katrin sighed as she continued to look at Igleta.
5207
5208"It's not fair because you and I are a team, we are partners, I am your girlfriend, and you are my girlfriend. We agreed to be each others, I would be yours, and you would be mine, and we would both be no one else's.
5209
5210Can you please tell me what's going on Igleta? I care about you, and your happiness, and want to bring you that happiness, so if I did something, please tell me."
5211(Katrin Weiner)
5212--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5213
5214[07:00] Kyrstina waves at Kat and Igleta across the river. "How did you get over there? Are you getting married?" Giggles.
5215(Kyrstina)
5216--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5217
5218[07:14] Igleta would continue staring at the water as the waves finally crashed back down. The girl had full intention of just staring at it, but a hand would touch her cheek, covering over one of her cheek marks that had reformed. Immediately, Igleta would raise up one of her hands to move Katrin's hand away. The girl didn't want to look at her, not to see how much she had hurt her. Just hearing voices made it easier to repel, but having to look at them and see the amount of pain that was on their face would just be far too much even for her newly found resolve.
5219
5220The youth just let out another long sigh. This was getting very, very difficult and Katrin clearly didn't intend to make it easy. "I did tell you both that I didn't want to deal with it, and you both thought that you knew better than me. Cause you both, apparently, believe every lie that someone tells you. The lies that Yuki told you about whatever and whatever." The emotional aspects were breaking through and she bit down on her bottom lip when she noticed Kyrstina off in the distance. Igleta would raise a hand up and wave towards her after hearing what she had to say.
5221
5222"Well, you insisted on bringing the drama home, and this is the result. You should've left the drama where it was like I asked. Oh well, it's done. It's over. It doesn't matter anymore. Just let it go." The girl would state while staring with a deep intensity at the water. Her eyes watering as she did. It just hurt so bad despite the fact that she really wanted to do this, but she really didn't want to do this. Everything stayed confusing and when she thought she had outrun the confusion, she hadn't really outrun anything at all.
5223(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
5224--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5225
5226[07:21] Katrin heard Kyrstina in the distancebut didn't look over at her, Igleta was more important.
5227
5228"Igleta, you are wrong, I don't believe the lies people tell, what I believe, is you. Only you. I don't care about Yuki, or any of them, I care about you.
5229
5230I should have left the drama where it was like you asked, and I'm sorry that I didn't. It was wrong of me to push like that and tell you how to be.
5231
5232You said that you would always forgive me. I will make you a promise. I will not talk to Yuki, or Leona, or anyone who causes you any sort of problems.
5233
5234I would do anything for you Igleta, just like you would for me, can you please look at me? I want to be able to look you in the eye as I talk, so you don't need to worry that I'm trying to deceive you, you stated that that was one of your worries and I don't want you to have to worry.
5235
5236Tell me what I can do to help you please, because I am here with you, I'm not going to forget about you, I'm not going to abandon you, I'm going to stay with you. I told you, I want to marry you and spend my entire life with you, I mean that."
5237(Katrin Weiner)
5238--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5239
5240[07:24] Her smile faded as she noticed Igleta and Kat were having a very serious moment, and looked solemn. She covered her heart with her vine covered hand and she stifled the motherly instinct to jump over the water and try to take control. She knew better.
5241
5242She brought both hands up to her mouth and whispered in them. She then blew a kiss through them across the water, and a gentle breeze carried with it several butterflies of different bright, vibrant colors. They floated and fluttered about the two girls, landing in their hair and on their shoulders for short breaks before lifting and circling them again. They carried with them a positive energy. One that could be felt deep inside, even if rejected. It stimulated the plants nearby, and several flowers bloomed.
5243
5244Kyrstina then raised her hand and waved goodbye. She knew well enough when privacy was called for, and she had her own child to take care of. Kyrina would soon be awake and hungry. "You are welcome in the Glade, you two. If anybody tries to give you trouble, just tell them that I invited you here. Be well, and remember that inside of us is a jewel that cannot be scratched or broken. It is the source of healing and love."
5245(Kyrstina)
5246--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5247
5248[07:34] Igleta closed her eyes and just took a deep inhale. It never helped in the past, at least not for this stuff, and it made her doubt those teachings that she was given. It usually helped with every other situation regarding life and battle, and so on. However, when it came to relationships and love, at least in Igleta's case, it was virtually use to her. Those eyes opened again as she listened to both what Kyrstina and Katrin had to say about the situation at hand and those that had happened. Finally, Igleta would turn to look at Katrin to see all those tears running down her face. It was incredibly painful.
5249
5250"UGHHH!" She roared out for a moment. Frustration getting the best of her as the butterflies circled around their position and added a little magic onto the scene. The youthful girl glared at Katrin and then at the butterflies, and turning back to Katrin once again. "Why do you have to do this? Do you know how hard this was? It's just a big circle, man. I'm tired of it. I keep trying over and over again, but this is where we end up almost every month." The child was grasping at straws to release herself. She didn't know what to do about what was happening, and she had no clue of how to get to her original desire in this.
5251
5252"It's just not.... I can't Katrin. Seriously, what if I want to be Sei? What if I want to be with Azira? What if I want to be with someone else? What then? Are you just going to keep trying to make me understand how much you love me and make me come back to you then??" She inquired towards Katrin. Her voice cracked slightly as she said all these things. It was pretty clear now that she was just trying to hurt Katrin, and yet it hurt her deeply just to be doing such a thing. After all, she was staring directly at the older girl now.
5253(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
5254--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5255
5256[07:45] Even through the tears, once Igleta looked at Katrin, she smiled.
5257
5258"Igleta, I know that it isn't easy, we have things to learn about each other. No matter how bad things get though, I will always want to fix them with you, you are important to me, I told you that the first night we laid in the flowers and I meant it. You've never stopped mattering to me, not even for a second. I want to be with you, and I will do whatever it takes to show you that Igleta."
5259
5260She paused for a moment as Sei and Azira were mentioned. The various others that wanted to be with Igleta didn't truly matter to her.
5261
5262"Look honey, I don't care if they want to be with you. What I care about is what you want. If you do truly wish to be with them, then yes, I will be there to remind you that you have someone who loves you, and someone who you mean the world to. Someone who would give up everything to be with you.
5263
5264We've been together for a year nowIgleta, and I'm not going to give up on you, I gave you my heart, my promises, and my soul. You are the person who makes me happy, but if you are not happy with me, I of course will be heartbroken, but I will understand.. I'm not the best person in the world, I'm moody, I don't like to share, I don't know what I'm doing half the time, and I get scared that I'm ruining everything. Sure I put on a brave face and pretend like everything is going to be okay, but deep down, I'm just a scared little girl who wants to be loved.."

5268[07:49] Katrin Weiner says, "The main reason I try so hard to help others be so happy,is because I spend all my time worrying, about things like what if you get hurt, what if I'm not there to protect you, what if I hurt you on accident. What if you never love me, things like that, I just.. don't want others to worry the same way I do, most of all though, Idon't want you to worry or be unhappy, Ireally would do anything for you Igleta, all you have to do is ask."
5269[07:49] Katrin Weiner says, "You're the only thing that makes me happy."
5270[07:51] Katrin Weiner says, "I want to make things easy for you, not hard so just tell me what I can do, work with me so that we can both be happy."
5271[07:53] Katrin Weiner whispers: I will always be by your side, to hold you hand, to give you hugs, to let you know that you matter, if you will let me.
5272[08:09] Igleta just stares at Katrin for a long time after she finishes speaking and thinking about everything that was said. "Damn it! You're not supposed to just accept it. What about those fears you had, huh? What if I decide that it takes more than one person for me, Katrin?" The little one would state towards Katrin. She takes a step backwards away from Katrin as she pulled grabbed her staff in a single hand and just narrowed her eyes at her. "Ugggghhhhh!" The tears just started pouring from Igleta's face now. It what she was afraid of. Having to witness how much she was hurting someone and hearing these things just wasn't the combination for her, it seemed to overwhelm her ability to ignore what was going on almost entirely.
5273
5274A deep sigh is made from the young girl before she almost falls backwards onto her body and into the water behind her. Her rate would increase dramatically. Her strategy was running out and Katrin was still herepushing through it all, and that wasn't what she expected. There was so much certainty that the older girl would no longer to engage in the activity after hearing tthose questions. However, all she could do was wait and hope that it would be enough to make the woman give up entirety. "Come on..............What if I need like six or seven people to be with me Katrin? Are you just going to let that many people touch your girlfriend?"

5278[08:17] Katrin didn't change her expression, even as Igleta pulled out a staff and groaned. Katrin continued to smile at her lover.
5279
5280"Igleta,come here please."
5281
5282Katrin opened her arms wide indicating she wanted to give Igleta a hug.
5283
5284"I am not going to give up on you Igleta. I already know that you don't need that many people, please come hug me and tell me what's really going on, I am here for you, to help you with your fears, your worries, everything.
5285
5286I love you, and you know that.
5287
5288Tell me, what if you only need me? What if you let ME touch you.
5289
5290When it comes to things that are important to me, you are the very top of the list you goofball, I'm not a mountain that you have to go over, or go around, I'm the person that is going to be there with you, helping you climb, or helping you travel around it, so that you will never be alone."
5291
5292Katrin did take a small step forward, her arms still out.Her words held no anger or hurt, she meant everything she was telling Igleta.

5296[08:28] "NO!" Igleta would yell at Katrin. Her words were being dismissed and they weren't working on her anymore. All that she had was the final resort. "Dang it, Katrin. Why can't you ever just listen.... Why do I have to be so important to you! I just....I don't even know what I want, Katrin. How can you act you like an adult now! How can you tell me that I don't want those things? I don't even know if I want those things are not, Katrin!?" Those tears would be wiped from her face as she literally points the staff at Katrin. "I'm serious, Katrin. I'll fight you. I really will. I'm not Astaria, and you just standing there isn't going to change my mind or anything! You want to touch me? Then take me down, that's the only way I'm letting you!" The girl yells out at Katrin.
5297
5298Igleta would spin her staff around calling up the waves of the water behind her. "You told me to just ask, right? Then I'm asking you to fight me. I don't care what you say, I don't care what you say! You want to touch me, you want me to be yours, to listen to you, and to just sit down and talk it all over!? FINE, BEAT ME UP AND I'LL- I'll.........." She hated having to say the words, but she still would. "Then I'll sit down and hear everything you have to say. I'm not doing it till then!"
