Ragnarok ( Modern Myth )

Going to add a bit more to the end of the post, on second thought. Describe what 'immediately outside of Runes and Things' looks like

Ragnarok ( Modern Myth )

Hunin and Mugin watched the verbal altercation between some of the children with amusement, before they broke into an outright laughter in response to Soraya’s attempt at a speech. The old crone glared harsh daggers at the birds. In that she glared at them, and then some decorative knives flew in their direction that they had to dodge, which they did cheerfully. Remaining to their laughter but not speaking of it.

“You impudent wretches, have the decency to laugh at the girl behind her back so that she may have some hope,” she called out to them. Unfortunately, Soraya could tell she wasn’t saying anything in her defence; the witch merely wanted an excuse to throw sharp things at the birds. One less bothered by detecting the lie, and the only other one to detect it, was Gavriil. The witch too didn’t think they had much of a chance to survive. The omen that was given, the others may not have caught it, and why should they? It was likely hidden from them by the All-Father, and she did not want to risk his wrath in her. They would soon learn what the Northern Road really is.

“Oh, you’ve got me wrong, miss. T’weren’t laughter at her, just relishing in their conflict.” A half truth, one everyone could notice.

“Then you best take their conflict out of my shop, I would not want a blade lodged in the merchandise.” She raised her arm weakly, and the floor seemed to begin to groan and make such aching noises, as it warped slightly, moving beneath the feet of everyone, shifting them to the door. It was slow at first, until she lowered her hand. It was a signal, that almost all of the demigods responded to. The floor shifted, hard and strong, with the drop of her hand, and with a small jump and moving of their feet, most of the group was able to stay on their feet. Eshna and Gavriil, however? They went tumbling down, and rolled one after the other out the door.

Still, the message was clear. The ravens had to wrap things up, even their guileful nature couldn’t stop all the sharp things inside of the shop. “We have no ride set for you to Bodi as was laid to here.” “Precautions.” “Baldur said, distance, Fate, y’know the schtick by now, yeah?” “Iffin you don’t, you will.” “It does get old, but what can you do?” “Fight Fate!” “How?” “Flail desperately at the unknown?” “Don’t mock the All Father so.” “You were thinking it too.” “That’s not how I remember it.” “Of course you wouldn’t remember it correctly.” “What do you mean by--”

The crone seemed close to blowing a gasket, “ALL OF YOU, OUT, NOW. ESPECIALLY THE BIRDS.”

“Yes, good idea, let’s take our leave, and you guys...” “You’ll figure something out. It’s a what, 6 hour?” “Yes, 6 hour drive.” “On a good day.” “Is today a good day?” “I wouldn’t--”

And then more blades were flung at the ravens. Getting the picture now, they took their leave with a bit of dry laughter, flying out of the shop and into the sky. The heroes were left without further guidance, and no supplied means of getting to Bodie either. As for weapons, they only had what they brought with them, and their gifts.

Looks like they may have to improvise.

Lucky, around this time, got a response from his mother. It was without any useful information, or even a yes or a no. If anything, the response was only something that would be further frustrating to him.

Immediately outside of Runes and Things was the outskirts of town. Things were normally green in these parts, but this winter had been a particularly cold one. There was a light snow going on, and there were various other buildings nearby that were in a state of disrepair. This obviously wasn't on the good, and better looking side of town. Perhaps that was intentional, have it a bit out of the way from everything else. It was on the northern outskirts as well, and so that would at least shorten the road needed to travel to get to Bodie, if nothing else. Cars are still seen driving to and fro, but no one really pays attention as they go on their way in and out of town, but mostly in. At least, on these roads.

Stop the presses!I'm writing up a lame and cheesy speech before the ravens pipe up the info :3

BUT

I AM ABOUT TO POST

Edit: And posted. You can do your speech outside.

Nah, it's fine

Ragnarok ( Modern Myth )

The mission itself sounded straightforward enough, go in, look around, get the object, go out. Failure only meant the start of apocalypse and the death of tens of millions.

Well when you put it that way, it certainly does sound like things are dire, yes.

I went ahead and added in my powers section to end of my sheet for easy access, and also updated my appearance a tad bit for brevity's sake. Perhaps we are getting closer to a need for collaborative writing? I would make a pirate pad/titan pad myself however as I'm on my iPhone and don't have a computer/laptop pirate pad tends to be rather tricky with me. I'm not sure about titan pad, but it's probably going to bear the same issues. I can type on them fine, however, it's just creating one that's an issue for me.

We'll definitely be needing something like that (or a GDoc) with the start of Quest #1, but that's still a little ways away.

After you guys are done in the shop with the witch and ravens, we're going to gloss over some of the details as to how you guys end up getting to Bodie (do you get get a bus? Separate cars? Walk? Hitchhike? Does one of you have enough money to try to get a Helicopter to fly you in? Etc)

Once you're there, Quest #1 will begin.

The more important part of it was 'this is a bit out of your reach right now'. It was more of a 'if you ever return you may find it' but you don't really have hope finding it right now.

Lucky chuckled at Jagred's response, looking at his hands. "The last guy that got two holes poked in his hands did pretty well for himself. The majority of history shows that getting your head bitten off doesn't end nearly as nicely."Since I can't post that just yet, since it's a single line. Also, a question. Is there a limit on how well we do otherwise IC? I mean, I'm a professional gambler, so I'd imagine I'd have a nice sum of money somewhere, but is there an upper limit?

Like, how well off you are? Just be reasonable. If your character should have a certain level of wealth, then let them have it, just don't go stupidly above and beyond.

If you mean how good you are at doing things, yeah I kinda am the arbiter of that based on your stats. Which is also why you may have some trouble finding your item at the store, you're still basically mortal at noticing things, and this is a bit out of your reach right now, for instance.

Boss_Dude said Hey, Elendra? I don't think I got my skill set yet...may I?

I see, you edited it in.

Boss_Dude, AKA Lucky
Child of Odin, the All Father.
You are able to set off culture bombs, starting rumours with ease and have them spread like wildfire
You find yourself having at least some idea of how to drive… anything and everything
You are able to have it so everything you do has an air of cool to it. Even your failures. Somehow.
You are able to exude an aura of problems, making what small things can go wrong to go wrong around you. Also, to you.
Cause small items to appear to vanish in plain sight on your person until you use them overtly
Sacrifice and perform ritual that tires your body and soul, to get answers.

Not bad, as divine powers go. That third power will couple very well with the fourth. Hey, does that mean I can make things for other people difficult? I mean, how annoyed would the witch get if I found the trinket?

Last thing. My dad better not know I exist, because I don't think he'd be proud of me in the slightest. Plus, I seem to have an ability that's only going to lead me to becoming a walking bag of entropy.

Oh he totally knows you exist. Also the walking bag of entropy? Sounds about right. Fortunately your entropy right now is only able to reach 'annoying' levels than 'destructive and dangerous'. Also, it's not really able to be targeted at anyone in particular. It will bother everyone (yourself included) to turn on your chaos aura :D

Also, she stabbed you when you just tried to steal from her before, what type of response are you expecting if you steal something valuable to her again?
