I'm happy with participating in a single RP - Something tells me I'm the only one?

In Batam for a month after quitting my job. Been powering through my writing since. I guess this is where I call myself a full-time professional writer.

@Darkraven You are not wrong about any of what you just said. Except his not having a choice, it's entirely plausible that Fineki helps him stay lucid despite Ushael's best efforts. Or he may not. After all, he is very... finicky. Badum...


Hmm I didn't think of that. That would be interesting.

And lol love your joke
Well, I needed to post anyway,


Don't worry, I'm happy that you did. Other than how I love reading the stuff in this RP, I've been worried that I'm running out of things to write about . But I guess it's just me being rusty with roleplaying. I've forgotten how roleplays are like neverending springs of writing material.

and it seemed like a good plan to start talking to the abnormally-beautiful knight, since Sett hadn't done so already


lol what an oxymoron isn't it? Abnormally-beautiful. Gotta add it to my list of favourite phrases. Anyway, I'm hoping that she'd be able to go around to every group member before another battle happens. It would make narrative sense - but failing that, I might have to settle for a fast-forward with summaries.

It'll be funny writing out how he reacts when he learns she's actually a demon


I can imagine him being confused over whether to be terrified or in love with her. When Ushael regains enough of her abilities, he might not have a choice though :)

especially if as @Darkraven says he's a potential love interest.


With Jezebeth, every men are potential 'love' interest as long as they're not ugly. She's got her reasons, and it's not just because she's unwittingly a Succubus inside. So... I think that pretty much covers everyone?
lol oh no @The Fated Fallen, looks like you've been overtaken again.

Anyway, I guess chances are, I will be posting after you.

Looks to me like Jezebeth is getting a lot of 'suitors' right off the bat :D Calanon and potentially Settione (and she would have very different attitudes toward the both of them, chances are, if Settione's getting added to her 'list', since they're two very different people).

Relationship-wise, I can sense that she and Alice are going to be girl friends (not girlfriends, mind you, but hmm... XD), but from what I'm seeing from Alice's CS and her thoughts, feelings and actions so far they might become strained? Too early to tell. It's just as likely that they're going to be BFFs :D Just waiting for a town to appear so they can go window-shopping and buy make-ups and shit.

As for An-Hasst, it's a tricky one, with all those long-drawn prejudice and tension in the background. Could go either way though, for reasons I won't reveal. Roleplaying is fun when it's so unpredictable XD

And Ursaren... From the looks of things, it might seem straightforward, with both him and Jezebeth likely to get what they need, but it's just as likely that something might tear them apart (hyuck hyuck :D). Ah, the sweet smell of drama :).

The rest seem to be grey areas. I wish more limelight would be given to Beren.

Sorry for rambling. Just gotta get these off my chest as I try to make sense of the new group dynamics. I haven't even cover what I think Jezebeth might stir up in the group between the different members.

Anyway, can't wait to see your post, Fated Fallen! :)
And I claim the 102nd place :D

That said, posted! /captain_obvious_mode
"Just Ursaren is alright. I'm not one for big names," the old man had introduced himself as such. Humble, Jezebeth found, and mysterious. It'd drawn her to him, as she wanted to know more about this kind soul - but that would be a matter for another time.

"Thank you, Ursaren," Jezebeth said, dipping her head in a slight bow. "I am in your debt."

That was when Ursaren stepped back and surveyed her body. For a moment, the knight thought he was taking in her beauty, just like how so many men would whether she was in or out of her armour, but for another trial, it seemed that this Ursaren had proved himself a virtuous man. While Jezebeth certainly didn't mind being admired and held to be the object of everyone's desire, now was not the time for it. Certainly not now - she just wasn't in the mood, and she wasn't sure if she would ever be. For now, she needed a break from such flirtations, and Ursaren had provided it.

"Jezebeth, your leg is bleeding... and pretty badly at that. Give me a slight second here..." he finally said, proving his intentions. He would then bend down and mend her to work his magic. Jezebeth had suspected him to be a man of some genteel occupation, and as it turned out, her instincts weren't blunted like her fighting spirit. After a mere sting that couldn't even begin to compare to what she'd been through, her knee had ceased to hurt.

"I am twice in your debt," Jezebeth thanked him again, her eyes mere glass for a moment as she remained unsmiling. The ghosts of her past, and not just of her fallen army, had refused to go away. No, everything that had happened in the past, before her entrance into the eternal chaos of the southlands, was all coming back to her. "I guess I will go gather my things now..." she murmured, quite unlike herself, not that Ursaren and his group had ever seen Jezebeth at the zenith of her achievements.

Her legs regaining strength again as blood returned to them, Jezebeth stumbles over to where her arms and armour had been trashed on the ground. A familiar elf came within sight, distinctly marked by what looked like four lines of painful claw marks on one side of his face. The elf was still nursing those wounds she had inflicted when he tried to pluck her favourite red-jeweled necklace away. It'd been washed and herb paste had been rubbed over them, but they were still very much visible, and might well remain that way for the rest of his life.

He came up to her, blocking her way. Jezebeth jerked, expecting another blow, but when nothing came, she stood still.

"You'd better not be alone the next time I see you, human swine!" the elf had leaned in and said coldly to her very face. All Jezebeth could do was to meet his glare with her own, though she was losing even in such a bloodless confrontation. Without waiting for her to speak or even react, the elf pushed her aside, the weakened knight barely able to maintain her balance, and left. Jezebeth stared after him, afraid and still shivering from the numerous tender wounds on her body, most particular of all the rope burns on her wrists, which she shielded as if any more aggravation would tear her hands off.

Upon reaching her things on the ground, she collapsed beside them, and started putting on the pieces of her armour. With the hostility she had thus far faced in the elf camp, it was imperative that she prepare for any retributions for her release. But without her squire, she was having some difficulty re-armouring. She could normally do it on her own, being a Guardian Knight, special in Andred in that they do not always operate in armies and were required to be self-sufficient warriors, but having been soundly beaten and ill-treated did not do well in encouraging it.

Wow, happy 100 Posts Day, guys! We made it this far, and I hope we'll have a 1,000 Posts Day in the future!

Anyway, unfortunately I won't be able to make the 101st post, because I will only be posting after @Banana.

Also, @POOHEAD189, you forgot to mention BC :D Or is that a subtle message right there? :D
With care, the old man who had comforted Jezebeth somewhat undid the ropes that had bound her hands so tightly. It'd taken some time, for the knots were complicated, tight and done thrice over - that was just how much the elves had suspected her of one crime of being or another. When it'd finally loosened and come undone, Jezebeth cried in pain as blood returned to her hands, as the wounds that the ropes had inflicted on her wrists pulsed with sensations. For a few seconds, it was unimaginable, like getting run through with a blade (and Jezebeth knew how that felt), but much of it subsided soon after.

The old man then stood up, thrust his trident to the sun (looking very powerful indeed and very fitting for someone who'd saved a prominent knight from the oblivion of hopelessness and death), offering a hand to her: "So Jezebeth, are you ready to come with us and get over these horrible feelings?"

Perhaps it should not have been so, but it took Jezebeth time to mull over his offer; what she'd experienced had slowed her so to such good things. But when she finally came to it, the answer seemed obvious: She had lost everything, she had failed her mission which was impossible to complete to begin with, and she couldn't go back. The only way forward was to linger, but for what purpose? Perhaps that would be revealed in the near future.

"Yes. Please," Jezebeth said and took his hand, her own still shaking, a rather anaemic and meek look on her face, as opposed to the redemptive smile she thought she should've put on. As it stood, the knight believed that she could never smile again, for every time a sliver of what resembled gladness or happiness somehow came into her mind, the death of her hundred brothers and sisters would come back to her, drive it out.

The old man was strong for his apparent age, and with a single hand, he pulled her up almost without effort on her own part; Jezebeth did feel weak, never thought she could stand again. The sharp stone that had been cutting into her left knee fell belatedly, and a blot of blood was soon expanding on her trousers there.

Jezebeth gazed up and into the old man's eyes, the eyes of her saviour, as lovingly as someone as broken and miserable as her could. For a flash, old farmer George's face had replaced his, and Jezebeth was confused by this phantasm - It had been a long day, after all.

"How may I address thee, kind one?" Jezebeth managed.

Doing it today, sorry for the delay. Alice has probably moved away from Jezebeth though, so feel free to upload


Okay then, I won't be in a rush though since by posting again I'd be way ahead of schedule. Will probably do it 6-12 hours later. So feel free to make your post before me.
Been entertaining creating another post now. If I do, would it affect your future post, @The Fated Fallen? I'm a patient guy, I can wait if you need to get your post up first :) Lemme know.
<Snipped quote by POOHEAD189>

:O

Noooooooo!!! We'll make sure to kill ourselves so we can all make new characters to start with you the next time


There is another way, Fallen one. Your dark sins will be forgiven if you take on the holy task of continuing the RP by wielding your blessed keyboard of creation.
