Broken Skies: War in the Eversky

Aura didn't like serious situations, it was just part of how she was. Peace was, truly, the best, and she loved nothing more than to share a giggle with her friends. But this was definitely, one hundred percent serious, and Aura didn't know how to reply. She began fidgeting with her rifle strap, trying to think of some way to lighten the mood, but nothing came to her mind that seemed appropriate. However, she knew exactly what her answer was going to be, and all it took to decide was to remember gazing up from the top limbs of her tree, at the endless sky above her. She'd give everything to keep those skies from becoming a place of sadness, a place of bloodshed and war, and to protect the forests, the rivers, suddenly she was in a position to make each and every living thing her charge, hers to protect, and Aura could hardly turn that down. She gave the general a smile and brought her hand up into a poor facsimile of a salute, saying "Yessir! I may not be the best I can be yet, but I'll give it my all! Just you watch, we'll stop the war!" The girl was now practically overflowing with excitement, ready to go and do her part to save the world!

I'll try to throw up a post today, but I'll be moving out of my dorm early tomorrow so part of today will be spent getting stuff ready to roll so it may not be my best work

I am uncertain, sir/ma'am, how my puns have impacted your sleep. Perhaps you should see a professional!

Broken Skies: War in the Eversky

Aura loved to people watch, it always brought with it new insights and fun stories. Bars were, she had found, great places to people watch as drunk people often made for the butt of the funniest jokes. It was because of this she sat in a corner, watching over the bar's denizens, sipping at a water and yet still giggling like a drunk as she thought of all the new material she was getting from this. Some of the bar's denizens, well most really, were quite wary of the short, giggly girl with a rifle in the corner, most assuming she was a tipsy mercenary who probably had an itchy trigger finger. Not that she could blame them, one's natural assumption would never be that the armed girl wouldn't hurt a fly until she had to. Aura was always a little disappointing that people didn't approach her with her rifle, she loved to talk after all, but she understood completely. After all, she figured she'd never want to approach a random armed person, even if said person was short and quite cute, if Aura did say so herself!

Looking around, it didn't take Aura long to notice that several of these people looked quite scary. Some were big and muscular, quite the contrast to Aura's own diminutive height. Others had obvious weapons that would be much better in the confined quarters of the bar than Aura's scoped rifle. Some were just...off, though in a way Aura couldn't easily identify. In the end, she supposed it didn't matter much either way, after all as long as she didn't cause any trouble surely none of them would give her any. "After all, if you treet people pine, you can make new fronds" The passing thought made Aura giggle again, after all tree puns were her favorite jokes of all. She wasn't really sure why, it wasn't like punny wordplay was part of her upbringing, so she just assumed that she was that way for no great reason. It was an assumption she worked on for most of her traits, up to and including her physical appearance.

"And here's to you, arse holes!"

Her eyes were drawn to the loud, raucous declaration and she spotted the man prcolaiming it, much taller than her ("But isn't everyone?") who seemed well groomed. However, the big thing that drew her attention was his nearly neon-green cocktail, the signal for her to follow the man back to hear about the job. As the man walked to the back, Aura deftly got to her feet and, with a spring in her step, began to follow behind after the claiming her rifle from its spot beside her. Slinging it about her shoulder, she began walking after the man with a smile and a skip, resisting the urge to hum as she went. She was told that mad her seem very stereotypical, and Aura didn't care for that. She wanted to always be judged for herself, not the 'type' she seemed to fit. With a carefree glance over her shoulder, she wondered if anyone else was going to follow as well. With a shrug, she turned her head back and continued on her way, thinking with a mental grin "I'll tree them in a minute, right now I need to go meet up with that man so I can axe him my questions about the job!"

I'm afraid I haven't got much, I'll have to bolt.

Man, if I can't think of a better pun I'll have to bow out.

You forgot, Aura is the maiden of puns, so she's the only one you'll be able to trade punderful jokes with.

I do, in fact, live! I'm in CST, but its finals week and I'm also working on CSes for other things, so I haven't been the most active in the OOC. Worry not, I'll post in the IC and try to talk more often!
