I'm posting today!

I'm not sure if it's good or bad but I had awfully, terribly, I'm-not-even-logging-in busy days which I was praying would not delay everyone. Originally I wanted to post on Wednesday last week but... it didn't happen. So it will today.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused :)
The Clayman's Finale


Salia listened to her companion as he explained everything he knew about these flowers… if the paperwork was right, which it should be, she thought. Lux flicked his fingers and a rather hot, humid mist spread around them… and seemingly across the whole place. Soon, she was finding it hard to even see where she was going, and that was bothering her. At the same time, that ‘weather’ effect was making her body feel slightly better. Hot temperatures had always been comfortable for her.

“He-hey!!” she made a small shriek as all of a sudden, as Lux lifted her off her feet. She was not expecting it and because of her personality, she had never relied too much on others. Even less so when it came to having physical contact with them… and to mention a man lifting her like she was some sort of damsel in distress, it made her feel somewhat awkward… However, she still held on to Lux and it felt somewhat natural.

And then, the man started running with lightning from his hand burning whatever it touched… the garden became a burning hell in a matter of seconds. But Salia kept wondering, would the golem react to their presence? Her worries became true as she heard it begin moving… but she sighed in relief as it soon became obvious it was not working well, falling over and over again. “You’ve… damaged it?!” she was impressed.

“Should we finish it here or just move on?” Salia asked Lux. A part of her told her they’d better do a good job and move steadily but safely and be done with the golem. However, it was not as if they had much time so maybe it was wiser that they simply went on, taking advantage of the golem’s situation… and hoping it would not strike their backs later on.

A relieved look from Arlette and a sudden shriek from Mime. “Huh?!” Remia was confused. And of course she would be since those were the very worst decisions in her opinion. Making a loud noise in the middle of a mission and split the group in a rather suspicious way. Not to mention the fact they were actually being split by someone who was leading them away… What on Earth was going on anyway?

“Shh!!” was the only reaction she could think of, one that probably Mime wasn’t expecting anyway. Remia did not take Mime’s apparently panicked reaction as anything offensive but rather as something extremely confusing. It was clear that whoever the woman with Mime and Arlette was, she was not comfortable with Remia following them, which only made Remia feel more suspicious. Lancelot insisted they captured the woman to make her talk but the holder would have none of that.

“Just what is going on here?! I thought we were companions! Friends, even!!” After all that had happened on their last mission, and the help they had given them, and now Mime was behaving like that… why? But the crowd was now getting louder as a big tank with an equally big fish inside was being moved. People were giving space for those moving said tank, and the attention was focused on that and those that were on the stage.

And suddenly, things happened. Quite a few, in fact. Blades coming from their foe’s skin and it trying to wrap itself around Emily… those blades looked particularly nasty in such a situation. And Fran was so far unable to release herself from those chains that were trapping her. Soon she was made to fall over and no long after that, Eight and Valor were battling with Fran as the unwilling battlefield.

Now, Diane had a tough decision in her hands. What to do? She HAD to do something, but how, and who to focus on? The girl was panicking and that caused her to stop singing at some point, with the effects of her magic vanishing from Emily. Of course, she could always start singing again and in fact she figured she may be able to do something by helping someone else… maybe!

It was a long shot, but it was worth a try. And she had an idea… they were in a desert after all. Diane knelt down and grabbed two fistfuls of sand and threw them in the air just as she began her second song of the day… the Sugar Polka which was way too cheery for the moment, yet its marked rhythm pumped her own self. If she was right, her mind would be fooled by her own activities and see the sand she had thrown in the air as just more sugar like the one her spell made appear. She launched her attack towards Sean. The small grains of sugar could get where other attacks couldn’t…

Of course, this was what she wanted. Not hit him hard enough, as he was protected so this song would be useless. But as the grains went past Sean’s safest spots and into the weakest ones, it was time for Diane to use something new that she had not used yet. She felt a bit aghast but the Active Sweet Explosion! held her best chance now. The sugar grains that came with the spell would explode now, and if they were past Sean’s defences, they could deal a big amount of damage! At that moment, Diane felt the magic surge through her body and realised that stopping was not an option anymore. Magic had been unleashed and she almost felt how her mouth moved on its own and she continued singing, directing more and more of her sugar-y projectiles towards Sean. That was how she hoped to help everyone!!
Yeah, I never really used them, and to be honest it felt a bit sketchy to me (not the idea but my own adapting to it)...

By the way, reading and posting today! :)
Oh, I knew I forgot to do something; I wanted to clarify that Remia's ignoring anything else and she just keeps going. Sorry, I kind of wanted to create some "drama" there. (Okay not "drama" really but you know what I mean).
The Clayman's Finale


Salia smiled in a warm way to Maria’s response. “A boulder! We may get more but… I wouldn’t hold my breath”. Quite an interesting character, this girl. And all of a sudden, she had transformed from serious worker to intense personality about menacing boulders. Salia proceeded to explain their previous situation and what they had discovered so far, although there was not a lot more meaningful information she could share.

“Well, I certainly think so…” the rook’s response to Lux, who was supporting her in the time being. It was then, that the man explained he could slow a boulder if another one happened to be thrown at them. “That’s… reassuring, actually”. However, as reassuring as that was, the news that the Library itself was in such a state of chaos was not exactly good. Even if they had been suspicious in the past –and they still kind of were–, those were not good news at all.

“You’re right, let’s go then!!” Salia nodded and replied to Adeline. She had really grown, and while she was always a great asset to the team, she was now also a motivating force. Salia felt it was important to brief their new comrades on their situation but it was also true that time was running short and they could not allow themselves to waste it. As per Adeline’s suggestion, they split the groups and Salia went on with Lux. “I’m feeling a bit better, let me try to walk on my own…”

As for the researchers… they did not have to worry about them anymore. Well, she had that much to thank Noelle for, then. Salia was walking properly although not without a bit of pain. However, the feeling of being able to stand on her own and not be too much of a burden was important and satisfactory enough for her to be happy with that. Soon, along with Lux, she made it to a rather strange garden… as it was out in the open, which she wasn’t expecting.

Of course, what would come next was worse. The flowers looked too bright and too vibrant. And while the girl understood the appeal of such flowers for humans (she did think they looked gorgeous), she was well-aware that plants often had a system to alert animals of their dangerous properties… bright colours. If she was right, she was better off not touching them. And if she wasn’t, well, not touching the flowers would not be bad at all. But most importantly, the different paths from the plaza were all over the place and a golem was placed in the corner and could attack them at any time. Even if it was inactive for the time being.

At first, Remia felt she was struggling to advance, although that was because her objective was far away so that she always felt she needed to move quicker. However, the combination of her strength, her relatively small size and her continuously asking people to move aside was working wonders and she made her way faster than she had anticipated.

Remia realised that she had been spotted and that suspicious woman was quickening her pace, trying to get away from her. At that point, the young girl had to be rougher with the crowd, pushing them away more than she would like to. Of course, she was just pushing them out of her way so nobody would be hurt. And this seemed to be an important enough matter.

Soon enough, she would be taching up to Arlette. “Are you okay? C’mon, let’s move back!” the girl insisted, now being close enough so that she could communicate with them.

Singing and sinking. That was Diane’s situation. A moment of silliness made her think that she’d better call it “singking”… for the sake of saving time. Which was actually something she’d need right now. She had become quite good at remaining calm under the strangest situations because otherwise, her songs would be interrupted way too often. Her voice trembled a bit as she felt her own body slowly moving down and looked around, hoping to be noticed.

Luckily for her, a ghost-like entity rushed towards her and got her out of the quicksand… mere moments before that huge creature jumped from it. Diane’s voice shook a bit more than before and her legs felt weak at that sight. That was close!! But from then on, nothing would surprise her more than that. It was a good way to see it. Those green lines of light were unexpected but after she saw what they were doing, she felt it was a good opportunity for them to fight effectively.

Of course, Diane continued to have an interesting yet difficult situation. She was not a proper fighter and the best she could do was support the team from behind… from a safe place, if possible. And even if she, from her own safety, spotted something important that the rest did not, she would have no means to inform them… or would she?
I don't want to sound like a bitch but life is pretty much about compromising. Those who don't are those who are left alone since people refuse to try to do anything with selfish, self-centered and egocentric brats. I know because I have one that's quite the same way quite close to me. At least Free is upfront about it, and I really like that! No-nonsense attitude. That's a good thing. As I say, not meaning to sound rude and annoying but if he says he's not willing to compromise, I don't think we should insist.

We have enough people as it is and we already know how fickle people can be when they are not 100% satisfied with what this is. Hell, even apparently 100% satisfied people are fickle and leave for God-knows-what-reason!!

I'm off to read 'n' post!!
The Clayman's Finale


Was it a cowardly thing to do, running back? She would not back out of a fight. She never had, and never would... as long as it was only about herself. But the moment other people's lives were in danger, she hesitated. She did not know whether she should have pressed on, but she knew one thing. The lives of those men were important and if her moving back, her retreating was good for their safety, then she should have to be satisfied. No matter who thought badly of her. No matter if Sonneillon may look at her as if she was the dumbest person in the world, no matter if others may think she was disobeying orders.

Of course, inside her head, she was not escaping but merely moving back to meet with the reinforcements. Advancing together was better for everyone. Safety in numbers, as it was often said. Of course, this would not always be the case but in this situation, Salia was convinced the more people they had, they would have more chances to make it ahead. And then all of a sudden, that berserk warrior Noelle snapped at them, her huge axe appearing into her hand. "I'm not putting these people's lives in danger!" Salia responded, clearly confident, as she herself materialised her own sword. Salia felt the assistants clinging behind herself with Noelle raising her axe menacingly.

Adeline was calmer now and asked Noelle to take the assistants off the golem... it may have been a good idea. In fact, Salia wasn't keen on taking them in the first place but... why were they coming, anyway? Lux agreed with Adeline about taking the assistants... it was frustrating to see her original idea of not taking them had not been convincing and yet now... but Salia shook her head. It was not time to think of that, but rather to proceed with their mission and do so in the quickest possible way. Soon, Lux himself was offering a shoulder for her to lean on.

"Heh, you certainly look much better than you did back when I helped you. I hope I'm not looking too bad although I suppose it's only fair you get a chance to play a bit of role reversal" she teased the man who was helping her. She accepted his help and walked with him. A bit of resting and taking it easy and she could, perhaps, be of help if they were to fight later on. "Thank you, Lux. I appreciate both your help and your comming as our back up unit. It is embarrassing to admit, but we were in complete disarray, now".

"Salia Kyrie. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Maria" she smiled politely. This person, Maria, seemed like someone they could trust. She still gave Salia a very professional, almost detached feel, but that was probably just her first impression. Still, apparently this person meant business, and Salia liked perople like that. "We ran into several traps, like a rolling boulder... which is what left me in this state". She decided not to get into many details about how she had tried to stop it, although truth be told, many others would have been crushed instead of "just" being damaged.

So far, so good. People at least listened to her and she was able to open a good, safe space, just as she had intended to. For the time being, people were sufficiently surprised to see a rook out in the open to back off. Of course, this did not mean it would last long. But at least for now, things were stable. "Hey!!" Remia replied to Simon's words. And she planned to go on longer before Lancelot quickly talked her out of it. It was not wise to do so... and even less so in that moment. Sighing, the girl went on with Eowyn, protecting Simon's space.

Remia listened to the information about the other holders mixed inside the crowd. A gray-haired woman and someone in a group of men... with darker skin than the rest of the people in the zone. It was good for them to know, since they at least knew who they had to be wary of. But without more time to think of that, she heard Eowyn's voice and as they looked at each other, the girl noticed her companion's eyes. She nodded and quickly moved towards Arlette. "Make way, make way!!" she was being more assertive than before since she felt this was far more important.

She slowly caught up to Arlette, although with so many people to move away from her path, it was like a slow-motion chase that was happening at the beach. It would have been rather amusing to watch but of course, not to take part in since she feared any moment now she could lose the people she was following. It was during that time that Lancelot relayed the message from Mime to Remia. "What? Damn it, what the hell is going on here?!" Obviously, things had started moving faster than she had guessed. The rook was somehow expecting a frontal attack towards Simon himself and not things to start happening around him and not directed to him. They probably knew he'd be protected... or maybe he wasn't the true objective?

"Remia is already heading towards Arlette!" Lancelot informed back to Mime. "It will be hard for anybody else to follow her through the crowd. She needs to be the one going there!" he claimed, confidently. This was a case of a 'master' sort of defending his student's skills. However, he felt it was true that Remia was probably able to move faster through the crowd and therefore could have better chances of getting Arlette back. And of course, he could feel that Remia really wanted to help Eowyn with how they had become closer. And so the girl wanted to do what Eowyn was hoping she would do.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon


Diane was almost like a spectator to the whole situation and she realised she was being of no aid to the whole situation. All she could do was remain alert and ready for anything that was to happen... if anything happened at all. However, despite the fact that she knew she would do well in remaining alert, she relaxed once Fran seemed to take command of the situation. She knew some not very well-known things about this Sean, she had gathered, and he seemed to hesitate. Perhaps he would join them... however, the armour had different plans and by the time Diane realised, they were being attacked!

Emily warned them all to be aware of anything that could come out from inside the sand and try to avoid anything hurting the Drakes. "Right!" Diane nodded and looked around. Her moment may come soon, but she would need to know exactly how to proceed. She cleared her throat and took a deep breath. "Relax, relax..." The fight was on and Emily's arrow quickly whistled through the air towards the armour. Having a good ear, she heard chains moving around when they shot up near everyone... and instinctively tried to dodge the chains... before realising there were no chains trying to bind her.

And just as she was feeling relief on that count, she felt the sand soften and quickly tried to move away from the spot, hoping it would not be what she thought it could be... quicksand. There was only one reasonable thing she could do at that point, and that was to sing her most typical song. Starting with the Vanilla Scherzo. The woman starts glowing in a yellow-like light as she starts feeling lighter... faster. Would that be enough for her to break free of the quicksand, in the event it was truly one? Not that she needed to know if it was or not, before deciding to sing. If she had thought about it for too long, it may have been too late for her to break free.

Diane focused the energy of her song towards herself... and towards Emily. She had been improving her skills lately and with the amount of Spiritual energy she had, she could deal with sending the effects of her song to an extra ally. Surely, Emily would feel the surge in her agility thanks to the spell... and hopefully, this would help give them the edge on the battle.
Yeah, exactly! Got to hate paperwork. At least, I've sorted things out and I won't have to pay anything (of course!) and my car's already being repaired. Oh, the joys of the system whenever it works well. It rarely does, but whenever it happens, it feels good.

I was "zero hurt", Fallen, so I don't have anything to take care of about myself. It was an extremely low speed crash, but since the guy hadn't seen me, he did not react quickly to hitting me, which of course causes more damage to the poor car. But as I was saying now, it's already being fixed. Good!
Sorry for the delay, guys.

I've been dealing with the hardships of life as of late, as well as being involved in a minor car crash (I am fortunately perfectly healthy but not exactly happy about some person crashing their car into mine). I'll try to post my bits as soon as possible...
I was writing now and I felt I had to comment on something. At some point in the past, someone pointed out that the character "Simon Getskilled" had a... suspicious name. I hadn't realised that, as I always read it "Get Skilled" and only realised it could be "Gets Killed" when someone else (sorry I forgot who) pointed it out. Maybe a second reading of sorts? Haha!! Sorry, sorry...
