[IC] Haunting Revolutions

[Skinner35]

"The medical supplies are for anyone or thing that needs them. We will essentially be in a warzone. That means that there will be innocent people, who we will save. Also, I did give you a bag of 200 Gold. So you also have money." He says with a smile as he walks.

[Sharidi37495]

Margaret smiles. "I can get it, and don't worry about the gold. Basil, carnation, vials, correct?" she packs her things. "Oh and Book-worm? I don't sew for money, I do it for happiness I get to share with others. I suggest you to at least try to think me not so shallow," she corrects him sternly, then goes into town to get the supplies.

[AwesomeZero5]

Yes, but... we would very much prefer not to go out into town ourselves. Perhaps at a random trade post but in an actual town for the most part. Also, my apologies. I do not imagine using one's skill or trade to earn a living as shallow however, if anything it simply makes sense. Of course you enjoy it for more, positive purpose and for that you must be congratulated.

There was a brief startled and angered chittering from Book-worm afterward afterward and sudden shift of movement.

Then the tinkering continued.

[Skinner35]

"Well, then we will stay in the Carriage. It's safer for us to stay together at night." He says as he, for the first time, climbs into the back of the Carriage and makes himself comfortable. "These next few days will be dangerous. I pray for protection."

[Sharidi37495]

"Thank you, and don't worry. I can go by myself. I do believe I'm old enough," Margaret jokes, then turns to Ariues. "I should be back by nightfall, and especially before tomorrow morning, but should anything happen, please promise you'll leave me."

[Skinner35]

"I will not leave you. We will not leave you. If anything happens, I'll find you." He says. You can tell that he's had to say this before, and it's bringing back memories that he doesn't enjoy.

[AwesomeZero5]

Best of luck then. Hope to see you later, though if that is your wish. Then consider it promised that we'll do our best to head onward should you not be back well after the sun has arisen into the sky. Book-worm huffs.

They were secretly betting that sun was going to be blocked out relatively soon by the growing darkness but did not want to voice that. as they continued to tinker away over and over under the blanket.

Also seeing as our enemy is undead. Perhaps it would be of use... to see you practice your holy flame technique later Arieus, or maybe something of greater potency. However, not tonight most likely. We are going to be a bit drained from our current project here. We do apologize.

[Skinner35]

"I am not leaving her..." He says quietly before being drawn into the new conversation. "My Holy flames do just as much damage to me as they do to my enemies. I normally don't use it unless I'm ensuring that I can still do it, or if it will save a life. I can imbue weapons with Holy flames though. Which is what I normally do. Other than that, I use basic healing spells and other basic offensive magics." He says, leaning against the Carriage.

[Sharidi37495]

Margaret sighs and sadly, gently rubs Ariues' arm. "It was worth a shot." Then she turns and puts her hand on Book-worm's shoulder. "Thank you," she whispers, then goes into town. She gets the supplies, when a voice calls to her. "Ah, still wearing that damageable skin I see," it rasps. "What dreadful name are you calling yourself? Abigail? Samantha?"
"My name is Margaret," she answers. "And I have no need of you."

[Skinner35]

Ariues sits there, his eyes closed. He seems to be meditating. But, Book-worm can feel a faint aura coming from the Paladin.

[AwesomeZero5]

Hmm, well. Seeing as you have put your word not to leave her. Perhaps it's best to go after her and check on her. After all you, did you say you wouldn't leave so may as well go ahead. Book-Worm's tone would seem somewhat, uneased or uncomfortable in particular. We can talk a bit later on the magics. We shall be fine waiting here for a while or at least a little bit. Book-Worm spoke only to Ariues.

Besides if you need to be out longer than nightfall, We will blend in much better during that period. It holds less or perhaps imply different dangers for me, which never seem quite as... devastating. Book-Worm spoke only to Ariues.

[Skinner35]

"Yea. That may be a good idea. But, as far as nightfall... Paladins tend to stand out a bit more than others. Well. I guess that I'll check the town. Make sure that everything stays safe during the night. If you need anything, let me know." He says as he maintains the aura, and heads back into the town. Mainly making sure that Margaret stays safe.

[Shadow Dragon]

Kolpec walks around town, not bothering to hide what he is, talking with the animals he finds.

[Sharidi37495]

"Well of course you do," the voice comes from a hooded figure, but Margaret knows the face all too well. "Your off gallivanting and playing hero again, aren't you? You've needed me every other time. And let me think, what were your words last time?" the grating speech mocks her.
"You know I wasn't myself, and I do not care for your games. I do not need nor want for you," Margaret turns her back on the mysterious form.
"Is that why your alone? So you wouldn't have to see your so-called friends when you betray them?"
"I am alone because I didn't want them to be dragged into this complication," Margaret retorts.
"Dear, they were involved the moment they associated themselves with you. Which you started."
"And which I will finish. Your master will fall by my hand, and when he falls, you fall."
"Ah, my child. We both know you're not built to be a hero. Lucky for me, when you make a mistake, you take everyone down with you."
Margaret turns her back, the last words ringing in her mind. She leaves the store, the bags nearly tearing she clenches her fist so tight.

[Skinner35]

As Ariues is walking, he hears Margaret voice. "Margaret? That you?" He says curiously, and slightly worried.

[AwesomeZero5]

Book-worm would keep on tinkering with their project, unless otherwise directly disturbed. They wished to have as much focus as possible on the matter and it was necessary in order to avoid as many mistakes as possible. Like the batch they had to dump out earlier because it was turning into a putty instead of staying liquid.

[Sharidi37495]

Margaret looks over her shoulder, hands Ariues Book-worms ingredients, then walks away quickly.

[Skinner35]

He takes the ingredients and tries to grab Margaret's hand. "Hey hey, what's going on?"

[Sharidi37495]

Margaret freezes when Ariues' fingers brush hers. "This was a bad idea. Why didn't you stay away, Ariues? It would've been safer," she sighs softly.

[Skinner35]

"Safety is out the window anyway. We are facing Hell itself. How much worse can it get?" He says as he holds Book-worms ingredients. "Cmon. Come back to the Carriage. We need to rest."
