Whoa @Holy Grail What did Ariah think that would make her think he was gunning to ruin her plans? He just wants to join aboard since he's stranded just like her.

Virias
Location: Outskirts of Sunfire
Virais was prowling about in the wilds around Sunfire, mostly trying to navigate between his various adventures and of course answers. Soaring low through the trees, ducking, weaving, and dipping all around the thick, strong branches that tried to keep him down. He was like a graceful dancer, fluttering through the foliage and catching the glinting light of the piercing sun on his nimble wings. It was moments like there that made him feel alive and ready to face whatever may come his way. Before long he was near his destination and that almost broke his heart as that in turn meant he'd have to land and deal with... 'normal people'. Regardless, he crested a hill and ducked below a low hanging branch to have the city of Sunfire in sight... and to see that it was burning.
What was once supposed to be a shining example of commerce, learning, and wonder was now under siege by a twisted dark faction who seemed to be committing to the attack with reckless and horrific abandon. Though the fight was brutal for both sides it actually appeared that the forces of Sunfire were winning. At least until some weird and foul magic came into play, taking over a big statue and turning it against the defenders. In fact with that card changing sides the tides had seemed to be most definitely turning.
Wiggling on his perched branch Virais had an internal conflict raging on. He wasn't a warrior or soldier for some big war, but this place was supposed to have answers for him or at least leads to help him find the real answers. Not to mention seeing all of those poor people being killed by monsters and madmen. This was a simple fight over ideals and views, this was good versus evil and he wanted to help. Growling and letting out an annoyed, "Mmmmuuurp!" to verbally express his displeasure he had made his choice.
Leaping down and extending his wings he took to a low flying attack run from the enemies left flank, setting his vector towards the front lines. Once he was within range he started letting out hot puffs of fire, launching his fire bolts at the Cultists at random. Each one sizzling through the air before making impact on them, burning and blazing across their frames. While not the most 'impactful' method of attacking, it certainly made the ones he did hit hurt or die from where he hit them. Although before long his strafing run was complete and not a second too soon as the skies started to grow dangerous with hostile fire.
Dropping from the air he landed near what appeared to be a pair of brave warriors and the big, currently evil statue. Leaping over and across slain foes and allies alike he made his way closer to the warriors, one female and one male. Letting a resounding and rather young, "Chirrrrup~! Meurw!" TO let them know he was here to help. Though perhaps the language barrier would make things a tad difficult to understand. Regardless, his intentions were pure and his heart was even more so so there was no way they couldn't understand that!
So with allies at his back and a fire in his belly he let fly several fire bolts at some of the smaller and less armored Cultists around and when one got to close, he leapt up to sink his rows of sharp teeth into, coiling around them in order to bring down his prey much like a wild predator would. Only to let go and attack another. There was no way he'd be able to take on that statue, but the least he could do was buy the other warriors a chance to do it without enemy help!
I'm sorry to say but given the state of thing both in and out of this RP for me that I will h ave to withdraw my name from the roster. Sorry ya'll, but I'm out. As for Ariah, you can do with him as you want as long as it's respectful to the guy. He deserves a good life.
Hello ya'll! I'm the Phoenix character from the Discord and I'm happy to meet ya'll! On the topic of joining through I figured I'd put this here as a sort of secondary check. Just so no body thinks I'm trying to sneak in unaccepted.
As a heads up to all present I'm opening the RP back for applications, so should another individual be brave enough to put up with my shit like these poor folks PLEASE put an application in this column!
Jake Cross
Jake was listening to everybody share their stories, hearing about their tales of adventure and of course their narrow escapes, but before they could really get too far into it Isis and Bastet came back around dragging behind a heavy carcass of a Knossa that seemed to have a good deal of meat on the bone. That's one thing he could give her credit for, she knew how to bring home the bacon... or in this case Knossa flanks. Now was his time to shine and upon seeing her struggle with the last few meters he stood up and jogged over to assist in dragging it the last of the way. "Good catch Isis!" He started watching her fall to the ground tired and drained from what must have been a rough hunt, "Don't worry, I'll carve 'em up and get us some flanks for the fire." He finished, putting out his survival knife to start cutting into the Knossa. Unfortunately a large chunk of the meat would have to go to the wayside due to their lack of storage and the fact that a large chunk is mostly fatty, greasy waste. Still though it wouldn't take much to cut past that and get at the good stuff.
While toiling away he listened and watched as the rest of the gang talked about their adventures. Apparently Mataus had a pretty good time as a pilot, taking on and supporting who knows how many different ranges. Which of course meant that Jake was glad to have him on board. Rig had some time under the Armored Division which was news to him and while it answered a few questions, certainly gave him a wider range of skills in that he must know a bunch about countless vehicles.
Then came around Nathan who had a moment to make sure everything was set and ready for shift, which again Jake could respect. Those who weren't prepared out here would be dead before long. "I got ya. Though if you want my advice, let it go. Out here you don't know when things like those will fail and that's no good. But really it can't be that bad. Gives you a grasp on old memories and old files, like a phone that won't break from the humidity. Right? Enjoy it man." While Jake didn't care much for technological gadgets he couldn't help but admire what some could do. Lucky bastard probably had pictures from back home and who knows what else with it. Regardless, he was off to his rounds which meant he was back on for preparing dinner.
Spook was certainly animated about her story and it even made Jake pause in his carving to watch her relive that moment with... well it seemed to be enjoyment oddly enough. That of course somewhat disturbed him given how she found an entire team of dead soldiers and almost died herself, but it did tell that she's capable of taking care of herself. Even if she's a little zealous and joyous in it. "Easy there killer, don't go cutting us up!" He said in jest at her swinging around that blade.
Though as things started to roll around he had enough flanks that it was time to start cooking them up. So with a few metal rods salvaged from their survival supplies, he skewered them on to be dug up into the ground around the fire, letting the wonderful smell of cooking meat fill the air. Upon returning to Isis' kill he got a few more ready and by then the first round was ready to serve, "Isis I think you should have first bite, but other than that. Bottoms up ya'll! And thank you Isis for getting this treat for us. Great way to start a camping trip." He said, handing a metal plate with a hearty Knossa flank to Isis, leaving the rest on plates near to the fire for everybody to grab at their own leisure.
He himself was going to take his plate back over to the Knossa, still looking to carve up more of it while the meat was still fresh, clean, and good. Casually taking a few bites and avoiding the raw blood from his knife as he ate and cut simultaneously.
Ariah Acrana
Ariah listened to the mental and physical conversation that filled the air all around them, though the oddity of it all was truly something to deal with. Though he still had to have a plan of action as the question of getting off the island was posed. In truth his plan revolved around the relic providing fruit and he'd have a way off through it. Instead the ship he rode in on was probably half way to a tropical beach by now.
When Sofia mentally threw her answer he felt the need to try and capitalize on it and head after her physically, picking up his own pace to gain on her. Hopefully it wouldn't turn into a hostile situation as things were still a small bit tense. Also not wanting to mentally say for her to spot in the event that TOO gets seen as a hostile act. Why must things be so tense all of a sudden? Causing problems when people could be friends or just enjoy life a tad. Regardless when he closed the gap to Sofia he posed his question, "Hey hold up a minute. I heard what you uh... thought... I guess. And I was hoping to get aboard on that deal. I'm not to eager to head that direction but I'd rather not stay on this island all by my lonesome. So... think I could tag along too?" He finished, walking besides her and trying to help lay on some... charming moves to better edge his chances of hitching a ride with this... well for lack of a better term stranger.
Though to head to a land he hated. This would be a trip that wouldn't be particularly enjoyable for him, especially given his political views. Though without any bounties or standing warrants for him in that Kingdom it would just be a matter of not killing anybody who's too... "Sheolanian" around town on his way out of town.
Jake Cross
Jake looked over to Nasri nodding in her direction as she spoke so highly of her pet, playing and treating her like a person. It was a tad weird, but in truth she did behave on the ship without being in a cage so maybe that would be a permanent situation. However, he wasn't there to see how Bastet handled the rough landing, so no good or bad points there. "I'll take your word on it Nasri, but that event passed me. Until she proves otherwise though she can stay free from her cage." Though as she continued to talk about getting out to hunt and find her pet a treat he had a few words to say in parting, "Hold it Nasri. We aren't in the hunting grounds around Anselmo. We're in the Wild World now and beyond that we're out past our explored borders. We know nothing of these lands and I won't have you taking any unnecessary risks. I won't stop you from buffing our rations though, just that you must be careful. Any unknown creature you encounter you WILL run from and return to camp. I want you to come back in one piece. Understood Nasri?" From there she made her leave and that was enough for Jake to say she understood, which was a good thing.
Jake did his part in setting up camp, off loading the tents and helping to move Aria's communication equipment, though she insisted on setting it up herself. "Shouldn't take much longer boss and I'll send a report back home." Jake nodded and left her to her business, heading over to set up his tent and his sleeping cot and mat as most of the nights in the Wild World get quiet cold and chilly and without somebody to warm his bed it would mean he'd have to rely on a thermal blanket that comes standard issue in an Anselmo Ranger's pack. Though, once he was set up he made his way to the campfire, joining his fellows as Spook gave them something to sit around.
Aria had her equipment set up and ready to transmit, so with her large and rather bulky looking headset on she started to wiggle a few controls and adjust the display on her tower, starting to say, "Anselmo Main, this is Expedition KV-73, report following." Followed by a short silence before she started to speak up again, proceeding to relay the events the team has just lived through including the eye on account of the Pillar of Light, the acquisition of the new craft, and the supernatural storm that hit them.
Meanwhile, Jake returned to see his friends around the fire, handling their various affairs in their various ways before conversation started to sprout up, "Thank for volunteering Nathan. You can take first shift. I'll take second, Spook you get third, and Reed will have fourth. Should get us through the night." At that stage Spook brought up her question and while it was a tad arbitrary he knew what she was trying to do, "I killed a Prowler once. Thing snuck up on our camp during my watch but I saw the glint of it's eye in the firelight. Shot first before it lunged and hurt 'em. Woke up the camp too so nobody died by the damn thing. Had to stick my neck out to just take that shot on a whim though."
If you post I'mma gonna post afterward!
