@Rockette

A little weird, but you could take a picture of said pines so I can identify them...

Anyways, I posted @Prisk :^)

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Adrenaline finally slowed in production before coming to a screeching halt. It never felt like that though, it was always a creeping sensation, akin to bleeding out from hemorrhaging. Cold, but a bit more forgiving than the comparison. Her first firefight was enough to sway her opinion of writing papers to wearing combat boots on the ground. In her daze and glory, she had failed to take merit of any wounds or grazes she might have had with the small fry. Yes, she was a femme fatale, and yes, she was practiced and honed. Yet the declaration of battle and being in a live firefight was something she could not completely account for with being so green behind the ears. Being an Aeon granted her durability enough to be reckless just not wanton. She wasn’t maimed nor to the point of medical attention, the thought of being Isolde’s patient made her shiver and the hairs stand on end. Eunji did have some shallow cuts and bruises. As if she was searching for the source, her fingers splayed out one by one. She…she was counting? Some bizarre ritual she concocted like her scrapes were a badge of honor. Next thing you know she would be making welts on her skin to record how many people she’s killed in combat. After her grand total of a few dozen, she looked around the hellscape for some plants. To the surprise of no one, barely anything grew here, at least anymore with the exception to one enduring species. That was the funny thing about nature, it never agreed to the rules set by humans. What species more persistent than the household family of ‘weeds’. No one really understood weeds outside of manufactured assumptions, so it was easy for Eunji to see why it could be overlooked so easily. She plucked a few dandelions that looked unaffected by the way of the world around it, jealousy was the only emotion Eunji could feel towards this enigmatic plant. Chewed them in her mouth and spit the paste onto her hands. Gently, she scooped some in her fingers and applied it to the source of her woes. A natural salve for healing for wounds so simple and discrete as hers. Fast forward to the afternoon, she sat at the base of the shower, clutching her knees into her chest, letting the glass fog up so only the intensity of her red hair could be seen. A bit tame, since the water made the brilliant red become a muted burgundy. Still, she sat quiet, processing, imagining what more she could do in the future. It wasn’t an odd 57 minutes into it she realized she was wasting more water than she needed. A towel wrapped itself in a dry embrace as did another around her skull. She changed into something more familiar in the form of a lab coat with a stylish pant suit underneath. Like a bird with nest fidelity, she flew her way back to what was considered home, a lab. ResDiv was gigantic and there was no lack for wear when it came to stocking every type of scientific machine or device needed. It was practically like being a kid in a candy store. She downloaded her research on to the computers and cross referenced it with all the files up until now that SWARG had on the virus. Adding in what samples she got from the mutants outside. It was all starting to find it’s way back to her research on Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, something she absolutely knew would be too good for Isolde to pass up on. If she tested it live on humans…well, she wouldn’t let it get to that point. She offloaded everything onto her tablet and made her fashionable exit in a huff to meet with Isolde. It was time to dance with the devil. The announcement on the PA system from another Aeon she had barely any time to meet only hastened her actions. The clanging of high heels meeting tiled floor was iconic and oppressive. “씨발 (Sshi-bal)” she spat in confirmation of her fears. She should have known Fungi were smart enough to grow and adapt, hell they could probably map out this maze of a base in under a minute flat. She was slow and ignorant. The door to the research division promptly opened showcasing her team from just before, only with a few unfamiliar faces. Must be the rescue and Isolde’s crew. “Move” she commanded in a low, dull tone. Her hands began to vibrate with dust spirits dispersing in clouds of brown smoke. If fungi could get out they most certainly could get in, she just needed to keep pumping.

Post Summary

Eunji made her way back to the ResDiv, not before licking her woods, well spitting in them, and taking a pensive shower. In the lab she came to a terrifying hypothesis she hoped would be insignificant, but was corrected when Errikos confirmed her suspicions. Entering the wing where the accident is occurring, she takes the reigns from Emilia and is forcing her way in so she can speak to Isolde.

He has to wear a paper bag over his head now, it’s part of his power stipulation.

@Benzaiten

I think outside of Sara, Melanie and Meir would have the most personal relationship by virtue of both having gone to MIT. Maybe it fizzled out towards the end since their majors branched off towards senior year or maybe it didn’t and they still talk regularly. Either way lmk.

@Prisk

Yes mommy dearest (will kms promptly after this)

@Blizz

I was originally going to include the old cast in the 8 with the exclusion with myself. But I thought that was unfair so I excluded everyone from the old game and left 6 slots open so it wasn’t too full as it’s meant to be a mid sized game. 2 more players would have brought the count up to a dozen which would have been quite a lot of powered reunion alumnus.

@Benzaiten

Relations no sheet needed. Well at least for their history at Ritman and what relations could happen now that they’re together. Mind you they haven’t seen each other in like a decade so maybe their thoughts have changed or they feel remorse for how they treated each other etc etc. Image you did a 180 after high school and now’s your chance to see if everyone else did too.

OBLIVION

@Salsa Verde Easy, will you DM or tag us if you need a spot filled? Might unsubscribe so my notifs don't get spammed haha

@SouffleGirl123

Yeah, also smart there will def be an influx of notifications

OBLIVION

Yeah I was listening to a lot of Weezer last night so. Anyways, this time around I feel like I’d excuse the OG players from the decision and leave the original six spots left for fresh blood. Now it goes without saying that if you did not get accepted that your sheet wasn’t up to snuff. All the sheets were great and it was really down to the wire considering other variables. Thank you for showing interest and applying. Without further adieu here is the cast.

1. [@udonnoodles] as Marco Polo
2. @Benzaiten as Melanie Cavill
3. @Aeolian as Oleander Okonedo
4. @The Man Emperor as Trystan Kiel Zaragoza Salazar
5. @Rockette as Samuel Sabiston
6. @Laertes as Dante Ibarra

I’d like to keep the following two on reserve in the event someone drops or is inactive.

1. @SouffleGirl123 as Kelly Kate Teller
2. @PatientBean as Browyn Avalon

Again the trajectory of the cast might change and any number of things can happen. It’s never easy doing the hard job.

I’ll be getting the IC up later today if not tomorrow.

@Rockette if you wouldn’t mind also finding a FC for your sheet, it doesn’t have to be added I’d just like to attach a face to the name.

@Prisk you can port your sheet over to Char

As for everyone else who got accepted feel free to discuss relations here. And just remember we don’t have our powers yet. Thanks.
