The King is dead, long live the King! [5/5]

@6slyboy6 If you can think of some interesting beasts, be sure to first post them here so I can judge them accordingly.

@6slyboy6
I'm okay with Raptors to a certain extend. They are very rare and often do not travel further then the edges of the Badlands. To have one as mount is an exceptional rare sight.

The Endeavour Six (Open, read first OOC post and I'll brief you if you're interested)

Still very interested!
@Ronin Lotus I was wondering what your idea was about AI and how you would see them in this world?

The King is dead, long live the King! [5/5]

And we're in business!

The King is dead, long live the King! [5/5]

Lentia, capital of the grand Empire of Torivian

Elendin, the newly crowned emperor of the Torivian Empire, stands alone in his room, atop the highest tower of Stonepeak Keep. He looks out over the vast spanning city of Lentia far beneath him. It was a stormy night, rain clattering against his window as if wanting to come inside. He turns away from the large window and looks at the fireplace which one of his many new servants had lit for him earlier this hour. With a deep sigh, he approaches the flames and kneels down before them. "I wish you were still here. Here to help me learn. To understand. Why did you leave me here all alone?" He hangs his head dejectedly and warm tears slowly start to roll over his cheeks. Loud knocking on his door pulls the young boy back from his melancholic thoughts. In a hurry he wipes his tears away, stands up and tries to compose himself. "Come in!" He tries to sound confident, but a slight undertone of sadness can still be heard.

The door opens and his uncle Rurik enters the room with firm strides. He stops for a moment to look at the young boys face, but shakes his head barely visible and bows gracefully. "My liege." Elendin looks with disappointment at his uncle. He hates it when his uncle, the only close family he has left, acts so distant. Rurik doesn't notice, or simply doesn't care, Elendins disappointment. "We've received word from our messengers, that the advisers from the Grand Provinces are nearing Lentia. They are bound to arrive later this evening. It would leave a great impression on them, and thus indirectly the Provinces, to greet them in the Throne Room." Rurik looks closely to Elendins face. Then he drops his own mask, looks behind him for a brief moment, and takes a step closer to the boy. He kneels down before him and places a hand on his shoulder. "You can't show them this side of you, Elendin. You need to be a strong and proud ruler. Someone they can look up to! I know it's hard for you, but you're everything your father was. I can see that, and so will they." The man stands up once more and places his hand on the boys back, urging him to make his way to the Throne Room.

Elendin thought of his father, and how the priests had elevated him to Paragonship after his passing. If anyone was worthy of such an honor, it had been his father. Even now, in the rainy night, stonemasons were working on his statue on the Path of Paragons, the main road leading to Stonepeak Keep atop the hill. He wonders in silence if they would elevate him as well once his time came. It was something he would strife for. His people would learn to love him as they did his father.

He enters the throne room with confident strides, or at least he attempts to. He is wearing a thick red cloak with the sigil of his house depicted on the back. In his hands he holds the golden Royal Scepter, decorated with gems and jewels. He looks up ahead and sees the large throne, made from the whitest marble found in the Empire. A blood red drape hangs over the back. It was quite an imposing piece of furniture to say the least. After what feels like hours, Elendin finally reaches the throne and sits down in it. He looks out over the large room, and his eyes fixate on the giant twin doors in the middle.

It was time to meet his advisers...

@6slyboy6 Glad to hear so. And I'll keep you to that! Haha

And now a announcement for all!
I'll make the first post Friday, even if Tangletail hasn't reported in yet. I just want to get this thing staaaaarted!

Corrupted Veins

Is this still getting the love it deserves? <3

Endeavour Six, Oasis of the Stars

I'll tag in for this. Definitely interested.

Planet of Shadows

Flynn doesn't even notice Williams handing him a new rebreather. He continues working vigorously on the small computer, and only when his alarm went off does he see the rebreather on the corner of the table. It was time to swap. It wasn't a tricky action or something... it was just very scary when surrounded by deadly gas. He picks up the rebreather and holds it close to his mouth. With his other hand he grabs the one covering his mouth, takes one last deep breath and then yanks the old one off! Within a second he replaces the old one for a fresh new rebreather, taps the small button on the side and checks his watch. The timer had reset and he hadn't died spastic on the ground. All in all a good day. He tosses the old, used up rebreather to the side and continues his work.

A solid ten minutes pass before he finally get's up from the little chair. With a smile, not visible due to the rebreather, he holds up the computer. With a confident stride he makes his way to the Life Support room and gives a wink to Williams as he holds up the PDA. "You can count yourself lucky that I'm such a genius." He glances at the remainders of the Life Support and nods. "That will do nicely."

Flynn puts on some rubber gloves and approaches the now laid bare circuits and pipes. Carefully he takes one of the wires in his hands, inspects it, and inserts it in some input in the PDA. As the PDA let's out some sounds of confirmation, Flynn turns towards Williams and nods towards the front of the ship. "Go check in the cockpit what the computer says. Let's see if we can fool a quantum processing computer." With that said, he turns his focus back on the PDA and begins to furiously tap in commands and occasionally bring a wire up to let it briefly touch a part of the PDA.

@Penseel Oh what a happy coincidence that the only shamanism/ghost stuff to exist is just perfect for the scenario. You're right, my doubts were totally unjustified.

@6slyboy6

Shush you. Penseel and I talked this concept over for many hours. I wouldn't have allowed it if it had even a slight chance of ruining the plot. Why don't you first see how it goes before assuming the worst?
