Lost In The Woods

Hi, I'm interested if thats alright with you.

Ragtag: Steampunk treasure hunting.

Aria had been on deck, staring of into the surrounding sky when she heard the captain shout. Pushing off the railing, she stretched her arms above her head. It had been a rather uneventful trip for her after they took off, the occasional high flying bird making the mistake of smashing into the ship being the only surprise.

She padded down the stairs, entering her quarters. Quietly, she grabbed her bag and sword before turning back around and quickly jumping up the stairs two at a time. She grinned, sling her leather bag over her shoulder. Looking around, Aria noticed someone she hadn't seen on board before. He was an old looking man, who appeared to be speaking to no one in particular, but she could hear his words. Stepping over to him, she grinned.

"'Ello. I a'ven't met you yet, either that or I have terrible memory. My name's Aria, and I believe we're in Braelv. 'M afraid you missed the first part of the adventure, as we had a nasty run in with couple of bandits."

She stuck her hand out for him to shake, eyes twinkling. She hadn't spoken much with the other crew mass after they left port, and she was extremely glad to have company. Being alone never had felt very good, even when you're a thief. The man seemed like a fairly easy person to speak with, unlike some of her crew mates. Namely ones who found interest in attempting to break her foot via stepping on it.

Yeah, I'm spending it with family, since I don't get to see them a whole lot. Can post by Friday.

The Experiment

KatherinWinter said
"Fine then. I'll give cover while you use your mighty powers to loop the cameras." Roxy growled frustrated "Lucy if we find the room where the boy is you open the door. Alistair, you and Flippy are going to distract the guards with a fight. Atisuto will provide radios and uniforms. The rest of us are the search party. As for cracking skulls Vlad isn't going to allow you to beat up his guards. If you want to crack skulls you need to prove that this 'team' can successfully work together. So we are sent on real missions not just these practice ones."

Lucy slowly nodded, thinking. "Yeah, you're right. I don't know if he has it completely covered, but he most definitely knows about it and is guarding it." She crossed her arms, frowning. Vlad probably knew how this hit close to home for her and most likely many of the others, which was why he chose a child. Some sort of sick motivation. When Roxy addressed her she uncrossed her arms, letting the rest on her hips while she gave a short nod. "I can unlock the doors. But we need to be careful. And I never said we completely split up, everyone should at least have a partner." Lucy replied, raising her eyes pointedly at Alastair before turning her attention back to the group. Fighting wasn't going to get them anywhere, except possibly having a dead child on their hands.

The Experiment

Lucy leaned against the wall, watching the others. She thought over Flippy's plan, remembering when she had escaped. It had been half knocking out guards and bending locks and half strategy. She was sure that she wasn't the only one who tried to escape, obviously if you looked at Roxy, but so far she was the only one here who had succeeded.She thought back to that night, still remembering in detail how it had gone. Lucy stepped forward, addressing the group.
"There is a blind spot, but it is continuously checked by guards. If we could set up a distraction, then the stealthier people of the group and a few others could get past."

The Experiment

So sorry I've been so dead, grades are coming in so we have to turn in all assignments. I'll make a post tomorrow as soon as I get back from school.

Primrose Terrace

I'm still here, but I can't really put up a post to move on. My characters have already said their peace, and I don't know what to write. I'm really sorry if this has died, but it's been really great to rp with all of you.

Welcome~

Nature's Outlaws

Catherine nodded her head, grinning at the two people in front of her. She smiled as Freedom revealed her teeth, shifting her position on the floor. "A maned wolf huh? Remind me not to pick a fight with you."

She watched as Seamus stood, looking at him curiously. "Huh, just mice? Well, I've never met any other shifters, but I suppose it's different for everyone. I can turn into a cat, but I prefer not to when at home or around town. It's kind of obvious to find a pile of clothes around a cat, and even if I was a normal cat, people around here are getting more and more suspicious." She shrugged, watching as Seamus removed his jacket. Her eyes widened, mostly out of surprise and wonder. This man had wings? Brief thoughts of wondering if he could fly and whether he liked bread or not all drifted through her head, causing her to blank out before coming beck to reality.

"Well, I have some animalistic features, even in human form." Catherine pulled off her gloves, revealing her claw like nails before pointing up to her eyes, slit-like pupils focused on the children. "Though, they're pretty easy to hide. And there's no need to thank me, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I cast you out. After all, I know how being abandoned feels..." Her eyes darted to the floor, unpleasant memories of her father ebbing at the edges of her mind. Before she could get lost in her thoughts again, the front door opened, bringing the delicious smell of fresh food. She perked up, smiling. She hadn't realized how hungry she was, but now seemed like the perfect time for food.

"So, who would like to meet my mother?" Catherine pushed herself up, walking happily down the hall that led to the front door. She grinned widely, taking in her mothers caring eyes, soft smile, and the tired yet attentive way she slightly slouched. Catherine didn't notice the second person until He made himself known, referring to himself as a guest. The grin fell from her face, replaced by a baffled look. "Wait, Jean? You're here... with my mom?" Catherine would never admit the way her voice seemed a few octaves higher, representing her complete and utter confusion.

Aria smiled, turning her attention to the front of the staircase as they descended. She drifted off in her thoughts, nibbling on her lip. She had finally found a crew, and it seemed like a lively one. She felt, happy knowing she could have their backs and they would have hers, but still a shadow of worry ghosted across her mind, nagging her into thinking ore about what the man had said. She thought they had lost her trail. She berated herself slightly for not covering her tracks, her father would have been so ashamed of her. It had taken years for her to be able to sneak, and after all that she could still be caught.

'Note to self: Don't group up with suspicious captains and large crews who still have yet to show fighting skills.' She was abruptly shaken from making amusing nicknames for her crew by something hard landing on her foot. She winced, looking up at whoever had stepped on her poor appendage. Katewyn brushed past her, and Aria simply shrugged, rolling her eyes with a fond smile. The woman had saved a few of their lives, and who could yell at a woman with a sloth hanging off their shoulder?

They continued down the stairs, entering a room not soon after. After setting Rucks down carefully, Aria sent Simnia a sheepish grin while rubbing the back of her neck. She had surprisingly never been forced to fix many machines, most likely because of the suspicion she would purposely break something important. Which was true to be honest, she would sabotage any machine she could get her hands on. Slowly Aria slumped into the space next to Rena, sending her an apologetic glance. Her foot was starting to ache, and the cut on her cheek stung, but no injury she had could compare to the hurt she supposed Rena was experiencing. It looked terrible, and Aria had to stop herself from reaching out to examine the wound. The boat jerked a little, surprising Aria, before a triumphant grin settled on her features.

"Well, sounds like we're off. I hope you folks are ready for some adventure!"
