Alyona

@Dezuel

Alyona had taken some much-needed 'me time,' as people in Rhea said. She had a concerning feeling with how Cel acted after the incident at Kiburi's. She dared not get in the way of that. Her survival instinct was well-honed. To that end, she was perusing one of her most favourite places in Rhea - apart from when it was filled with noisy brats. She had found this small confectionery nestled amidst other, less interesting shops. It was ran by a kindly fellow that must have had Yekaterinan roots, given that he stocked some rather obscure treats.

Alyona was loading up a bag with a concerning amount of candy - mixed varieties, seemingly of any kind so long as it was sweet. In fact, Alyona had already double bagged it, since she knew it would grow to be very heavy. She didn't have many expenditures, so she was okay with splurging for something important. She had her hands full of Tsar's Delights when some punk accosted her.

She stuffed the candy into her bag, quickly turning around. This guy wasn't the normal type of kid that haunted these kinds of stores. He seemed to be lost from some kind of sketchy modeling shoot. 'This guy looks like a pain...' Aly didn't want to deal with it.

She had a good defense for this situation. She usually resorted with it when she was in a place where she didn't want to cause a scene... Which was mainly this store and few other places. She gave a confused, uncomfortable-yet-polite smile, holding up a hand. "[Sorry. I don't speak your language. Idiot.]" She spoke in Yekaterinan, keeping her confused and polite look even when adding in an insult.

Hopefully the guy would hear her speaking something foreign and give up. It worked for some of them, at least; Yekaterinan speakers in Rhea weren't super rare, but not exactly common either. If he kept hitting on her, she'd just guide him into an alley and rough him up.

Io at Terauchi Temple

@The Irish Tree @Restalaan

The conversation had once again taken a strange turn - one that Io couldn't have figured would happen. "No, I meant- Clones? -Never mind, I mean..." Io didn't have time to clear up the misunderstanding before Liliana started saying one thing after another. While it was true that Io wouldn't mind something like that while she was on this remote island... Liliana was way off in interpreting what Io had said. Plus, Io had plenty of magic to deal with that issue. She was far beyond needing such frivolous things like courtship... Probably.

Another person interrupted their conversation, only further convoluting the topic of the conversation. Io would let Liliana correct the goblin on what type of fairy she was. "An army... Would be nice." She could do it with enough time, but obviously that wouldn't be pretty. She figured it wouldn't happen. Gesturing over to where they had dropped off prisoners, Io spoke up to the goblin, "I see more Varjans have been captured by the task force. Perhaps we rival an army already." Io had perhaps given a weird impression to Liliana, but she could at least try to appear more cool and reserved to this goblin girl task force member. Of course, this change in topic was also an attempt to deflect Lilians's talk of wingwomanship. A lich was never without a plan.

I'll work on a post today with any luck

@Crowvette

I am so sorry for the indirect bullying from Liliana btw. She do her best.

@The Irish Tree

Things are more fun if you bully your characters a little, aren't they? All according to plan

"Michael..." For a brief moment, it seemed like Alex might cry as she gripped the lunch Michael gave her. "I'm not worthy of such a comrade..." She sniffled. "B-But what will you do for lunch?!" While she felt like she should try to refuse, now that food was in her hands, Alex felt a primal desire to never let it go. Nonetheless, she had to ask - she didn't want to take advantage of her friend.

'Maybe... Maybe I can use the Root to fix this...' For a brief moment, Alex's single card flickered into existence, her eye quickly peeking at it. 'T-Though I'm definitely not supposed to cast spells on campus...' As quickly as it appeared, it winked out of existence.

"Y-You won't have to worry! I'll figure out how to repay this, somehow!"

I'm just grinding out some of the worst weapons in PlanetSide 2, for absolutely no reason other than "I'm running out of things to use and nobody uses them so maybe they'll be secretly good!"

Hint: they're not

Io at Terauchi Temple

@The Irish Tree

Io raised an eyebrow at Liliana's display. "I see." In truth, Io was thinking about the potential applications for this development... There were many niche ideas that popped into Io's head. Despite that, it was unlikely that things would go exactly as she was imagining them - plus she wouldn't want to put Liliana in danger, of course. It was a very interesting quirk of the transformation, though. Io would file that bit of trivia away in case there was some sort of plan that needed it.

Io once again cast a glance over at the other task force members. There was at least one last thing she had to ask about. "Have you interacted with the male task force members? It's a sight I thought I'd not see even in all of my years. An unfathomably rare occurrence... To the point that I considered it impossible." Io refrained from waxing more eloquently about the odds. "It's almost intimidating. They may be the only ones I ever encounter." She briskly put her hood back up.

Alexandria

@Scarifar

Alex had bumped into someone, and nearly stumbled into an epic spill before they caught her. For a brief moment, she wanted to go limp, allowing the person that grabbed her to do all the work of keeping her standing - but she resisted the urge. Then she heard their voice.

"M-Michael?! Is that you?" Alex spun around, looking as though she might ascend from her mortal body at any moment. The sudden turn gave her a headrush, and she found herself teetering forward, coming to a rest on Michael's chest. "T-This is it for me... Please... Look after my mobile game accounts..." Alex for a moment felt like she might fall asleep standing up, in this brief moment of rest against Michael...

Then she snapped awake, realizing what she was doing. Quickly straightening up, she took a quick step back. "Bwah?! I'm so sorry! I-I'msorryIdidn'tsleepatallandI'mstarvingsorryforhuggingyouI'mdealingwithalotrightnowsorrysorrysorry!!!" This was too much for her poor heart; Alex covered her face with her bag, which promptly opened due to being half-fastened, spilling her papers and folders all along the floor.

Io at Terauchi Temple

@The Irish Tree

Io's eyes widened ever-so-slightly at Liliana's size trick, subtly betraying her surprise - split evenly between the trick, and the sword's seeming synchronization to the fairy's size. "Very interesting. I suppose that is handy for-" Io cut herself off before she blurted out something inappropriate. It wasn't necessarily because she had a sense of shame, but she figured policing her words might be best with so many people suspicious of mamono already. She briefly stole glances around, as if looking for someone overhearing the conversation. Of course, it didn't seem like anyone was. "Well. Many things." Io somewhat ungracefully ended her sentence, before quickly moving past the topic. "Pink... Yes, it is a good color." She nodded, sharing a brief sense of solidarity with her fellow pink-haired task force member.

She briefly glanced over to another returning party. They, too, had a prisoner. Io wondered if she may have put an unnecessary strain on the group by taking prisoners of her own, umprompted, but... Well, she could take care of that if it became an issue. She kept an eye on them either way, as she wanted to see what they were up to since they finished up another task.

Io remembered something as she watched the other task force members. "Ah. I realize now..." Io retrieved a scroll of hers - this one was a simple scroll of enhancing strength - and held it out to show. "I did consider the potential for giving scrolls to task force members to help them, but... Given your usual size, I may need to reconsider how I made them..." Io didn't want to prod, but she assumed that Liliana didn't have much care to stay the size of human all the time. If anything, Io understood the sentiment. "Creating scrolls with legible, effective runes that are to fairy scale... Now that's an interesting challenge." Io's eyes briefly glimmered with enthusiasm at the thought.

I'll try to get an Iopost by the end of tomorrow, sorry for dropping the ball this week.

Happy birthday! Take the time you need, of course
