The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Cuttersbury: There is a bit of a hold up to Drych Lake Spa...

Before she managed to get behind the Barren, it got even more upset and stomped all over the place. She looked over to see the classes shattered and she laughed. "That crazy dude did it. Heh, good job." Nani heard a squawk and paused in her tracks. "Oi! Cap I said stay-" Just as she started, the large Varren was blasted to the ground by a large amount of water. If she would've kept going, she would've been crushed. "Alright, alright. You're a good bird." She patted his head as he perched on her shoulder.

"Down it goes!" Cap squawked.

"Down it- Hm, not quite yet." She crossed her arms as he staggered to his feet again. "The rat doesn't know when ta give does it?" Her interest peaked when Moira stepped forward. Seeing the weird pointy spike on its head get chopped clean off made her burst into laughter. "That ridiculous thing! Alright Moira!" She cheered and applauded. As the tattered and broken Varren started to dig his way to safety, Nani stopped. "Oh, no you don't! Hey Cap, help me grab my sword will ya?" The bird flew off and flew after with Nani right behind him.

She ignored the dust kicking up and disappeared. After a few moments, Cap flew out of the hole empty handed. Moments after that, Nani climbed out with her sword in hand. "Ha! Still in perfect shape." Looking back down where the Varren disappeared, she laughed. "Any longer and I would've been stuck down there." She dusted herself off and then cheered. "The giant rat is gone! We can journey on!"

With Cap back on her shoulder, she, despite her new injuries, started back on the path. After all, someone did mention not being too far away.

Never Ending Battle ~ PopeAlessandros x AkiBlue

Hiro had been too focused to notice the noises of amazement, so he did look fairly surprised when Akito stared at him with an admiring gaze. He blinked and looked down at the table for a moment only to look back at the shorter male when he went further to give a compliment. "Really?" His voice was soft, but he had once more held that childish demeanor from before. It was rare he had ever gotten compliments about his magic studies. The servants didn't count, they had to say positive things- or at least felt required to. His father had not interested himself in his studies besides when he injured himself when he was younger. As sweet as his stepmother was, she didn't really take the time to watch either. She was much more interested in other things anyway, like art and music and occasionally taking a trip to the town.

So, this particular moment made him smile. It was a much happier smile than his normal calm expression. After a few moments, he ran fingers through his hair and looked at the candle. "I didn't think you'd actually like it." 'Well be anywhere near interested really. . .' He pushed the materials to one side of the table and closed the book closest to him and then stood, setting it atop the pile. He took his place back on the floor after he cleaned a bit more and then gave a small shrug. "Most aren't. And by most, I mean the Emperor and Empress. The servants, it's hard to say considering they normally have to be positive I suppose." Hiro caught the mention of magic trying to kill him, but he assumed it meant that Akito had tried it once before. Or someone messed up near him. Not once did he think others would use it in the war, so he thought to ask about it.

He set his hands in his lap, holding his legs. "Hm, well look at that. We do have something that intrigues us both." He chuckled and with a slightly encouraging voice, he added, "I can show you again if you like. Whenever I'm around here."

He reached over and poked at the bowl of water. "Unfortunately, those are the only two elements I've accomplished so far. But eventually. Eventually I'll get the others." There was a determination in his voice that trailed off once more. He didn't want the awkward silence to ensue, so he tried to keep the conversation going and appeal to Akito. "The soldiers don't try and use magic against others as a weapon?"

Pirate Age

Announcement!
So it's been a week or two, maybe even three without the lack of a notice from Banba. So, it's unfortunate to say, with such a small group, that she is out. Danny will be an NPC for the time being so everyone can use her if need be.



With that being said, I'd appreciate notices as to if you'll be missing days and cycles like that. It's just a reminder, and you've been doing a good job thus far. I understand school and jobs and life come first, but there's only so many cycles you can miss before you become dead weight. Hopefully the remainder of our crew will stay in tact. And with the way our story is going currently, I won't be able to accept any new crew members for awhile.

So, it is going to be a fairly small crew. With a party of five. We can make that work, right?

Also! Speaking of how the story is currently going, I'm excited for the next phase. It's going to be quite dangerous adventurous.

And, also post reminder. Annd that's it for my GM announcements.

Here have an adorkable lady.

The Power of The Fallen ~ PopeAlessandros x AkiBlue

Despite staying away from the door, Aoba could still hear the howls and sounds of fighting. It made him flinch every now and then, but for the most part he remained calmed and sat with the newborn. "I have to name you. I've been so busy, I almost forgot. I'm sorry. I'll think of one today or tomorrow." He spoke gently and petted the calf in order to keep himself calm. Just as things got louder, everything got quiet again. Aoba peeked over Mama and stared at the barn door. When it started to open, he immediately ducked down from view. He sighed, spotting Dani as he immediately took up conversation with the cow. Aoba scooted towards the fence and then looked up as Kuro appeared. Aoba took his hand, and gave a confused look at towards the idea of another demon coming to help them. Why on earth would any demon do that? Just for the sake of killing something?

As he moved out the pen, Aoba tensed when he realized the demon was still there. The only reason he was still walking towards it was because Kuro was leading the way. He listened carefully, wondering why this demon had the right to stay, but all the others didn't. Then it all pieced together when he stated who he was. "A brother?" He echoed and looked to see the demon duck out of sight. Aoba only managed a quick glimpse of his attire. It was a little surprising to see the demon act so shy. 'Well. . . That's a slight relief. . . It makes me feel less. . .nervous.' As much as he trusted Kuro, demons were demons. And Aoba was an angel, fallen, but still an angel. And he couldn't help but rethink Father Gerard's idea of 'meeting Satan's family'. It made him fidget where he stood, and look down at his feet. Though, hearing that the demon was blind did perk his curiosity if only a little.

Dani rolled his eyes again, seeing both Aoba and Homura acting shy. He scoffed and leaned against the fence. "Well? Say something sheesh." Aoba looked over at Dani and then gave a sheepish smile.

"O-Oh, sorry. I- I'm Aoba." The fallen angel looked at Homura, catching glimpses of the pure white eyes looking at him. He took heed to Kuro's advice and stayed in one spot, shuffling his feet every now and then. Once more Dani rolled his eyes and stretched. The act made him look between the two demons he was used to being around. "Are you two okay?"

"Got it!" The fallen angel called out as his wings stayed stretched open so the animals wouldn't stray off the path. As the last sheep made its way into the stall, Aoba patted its head and smiled. "And you're the last one." He walked over to get the feed, watching as Dani impatiently stood by the door. "Thank you Dani. This is the fastest they've ever gotten inside." Even though he had to soothe some of their feared spirits, they all got into the stalls safely. Soon, they'd start to learn that the site of Dani usually meant it was time to go inside. The smaller demon crossed his arms, giving a grunt of response, not paying him any attention. "Why does he seem so much in a rush. . ?"

"Are we done here?" Dani's eyes never left a spot past the pasture. He was practically bristling and ready to jump out to attack, but he'd wait. . . It would be no fun at all to kill them at once. He sniffed the air and then grinned deviously. "There's five of them Kurotama. . ." Aoba blinked and quickly locked all the stalls. If he was talking about demons, then he'd have to make sure all the animals were safe and had no way to escape. That was no problem though, he just had to feed them.

Once Dani was given the okay, he darted into the center of the pasture and crouched down, waiting for the first signs of them being close.

"Heheh, whoever gets to that tasty smelling creature gets the win, right?"

"Whoever can take down those two demons should be crowned champion." A more nervous demon slipped lower to the ground. He relied more on stealth than physical ability, but it did help him become an amazing hunter.

"Oh quit your whining Daemon. It's two against five! Just remember, we don't kill the angel yet. Oh not yet." Out of the five demons, two were female. The one that spoke, Elise, lead the small group. Once they reached the border, they all stood at the ready. Just as she was about to say something, one of the demons got too antsy and flew off. "No you idiot!" She hissed but it was too late. Dani waited just as the demon flew over him in order to jump up and send his claws through one of his wings. The demon howled and crashed to the ground, giving Dani ample opportunity to pounce.

"You guys are fools if you think I'm going to let you anywhere near that barn." He grinned darkly, holding his hand over the demon's throat pressing harder with every second. That was interrupted when a second demon, the female, tackled him down in order to save the other. He kicked her off, careful to throw her in the opposite direction of the barn, right before sinking his claws into the demon he planned to kill first. "Don't think you're getting away that easy." He growled and pressed hard, feeling bones crush. Dani giggled at the sound before flinging the demon away, only to chase after him like a dog chasing a stick. Except instead of retrieving, he once more pounced to attack the demon, planning to crush some more bones in the process, fully aware that the female demon was trying to sneak up on him. When she jumped at him, he reached out and effortlessly clawed and opened her throat. The demon couldn't even gasp as she collapsed onto the ground.

Aoba only saw the first demon and squeaked in surprise. As fast as he could, he pulled the heavy barn door closed. "Be careful you two. . ."

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

It's a trick. They are all bad choices.

When Realms Collide {AkiBlue & PopeAlessandros}

Enasi laid still, letting go of Rue as Seishu spoke to him. He felt a numbing pain, but didn't bother to look at the wound that caused it. "Crios is going to kill me for this." He chuckled and ran fingers through his hair. He then chuckled again, putting more strain on his injury. "I'm not going to throw you into a cell Rue. You're not crazy enough to just go into the Nightmare Realm by yourself. . ." He reached up and petted Rue again before the fairy smiled gently, happy to be forgiven. He almost instantly perked up when Tyar spoke of the guardians' energies.

"That's right! I feel it too Lord Enasi! It's not a bad different. But it is different. I felt it when I was laying beside you at first." He looked curious and wide eyed, but only got a shrug from Lord Enasi.

"I am just as clueless as you are." 'Maybe it was when me and Seishu. . . That was the only thing out of the ordinary.' Enasi coughed lightly to dispel the thoughts. "We'll figure it out later, I suppose." His head turned to see Kaila making his way towards his guardian, holding out his hand in effort to assist if he needed it. Rue was standing again, more chipper knowing his guardian wasn't upset or too much in pain at the moment. At least he didn't think so.

"Lord Enasi, do you want me to help you up? We need to get you home as soon as possible! Isn't that right Mister Seishu?" Rue asked before reaching both hands out and wiggling his fingers with a smile. Enasi smiled at his eagerness. Despite feeling a little better from the little help he did receive, Enasi was still pretty drained of his energy. His barrier was still up, though weaker than before.

"As much as I'd love your help Rue, I think I just might wait for Seishu. Or someone a little taller." Rue laughed softly and nodded, deciding to just stick by his guardian and hold his hand until they were ready to go.

Harper was still on edge about that feeling he had. His men all checked and rechecked their rightful positions, but nothing was out of the ordinary. There was nothing he could do though, besides pray for his guardian's safety. Cho had noticed him sitting all alone as he walked past and decided to whip up a small snack for him. He returned and Harper was still where he had been.

It was quiet between them. No verbal communication had happened. Cho simply sat down next to the rabbit and set a plate in front of him, right before setting his own plate down. He gently patted Harper's shoulder and quietly began eating. The rabbit sighed gently and ate as well.

Finn and Starla looked amongst their garden. The plants and flowers seemed to shiver and wilt ever so slightly. "Something is wrong." Finn frowned as he and his sister tended to the garden. "It's not us though."

"You don't think it's Lord Enasi do you?" He was just as connected to the nature as they were.

"It can't be. . . He's safe. He's fine." Finn said, although more so trying to convince himself. Their guardian was in safe hands and he couldn't have gotten hurt. Starla on the other hand was a little more doubtful, but she nodded and continued to help him.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

You know, that is possible. But after all the fights with the hooded figures I doubt that.

Pirate Age

No problem! And I watched Nightmare Before Christmas because I mean, scariest movie ever. Pssh. Then I watched the newest Nightmare on Elmstreet, which I think is funny. Then some other movies that weren't that scary. Because I don't like scary movies anyway. I think I've seen the first Insidious.

As for parties. Nah. Movies are the way to go.
