Okay, okay, Ben definitely noticed. But the more Lilie watched him, the more she realized he wasn't really doing anything. Not that that was a bad thing, but she was pretty surprised. Maybe she overestimated him? Well, not like she would do much better, she was pretty sure she'd either dive into the waters or hide on the other side of the coffin. There had to be something she could do, but aside from letting Ben know that he was running out of time, she had no idea what she could do. She could use her affinity, but it wasn't like it would do anything to the monster.

Looking down at the sea, she tried not to shudder at the sight of one of those...things. At least Ben wasn't fleeing right into one of those things. As soon as the thought crossed her mind, though, she suddenly got an idea. She had already managed to get the water to reach Ben, and with it rising, she was pretty sure she could get the monster, too! Could she maybe push one of those weird things to the surface?

Seeing as how she literally had nothing to lose at this point, Lilie ignored the conversation as she stared down at the creepy-swimming-creatures. She patiently waited until one of them would decide to swim close to the island, making up her mind. "Okay, okay, I can do this," She verbally encouraged herself. Just push, and pull, push, and pull, and push way harder than usual. If she could consistently send water flying, she was pretty sure if she just did what she usually did in Affinity Mastery with Esi she could do it.

She moved as close to the edge and the underwater thing as she could, trying to time her pushes. She wasn't entirely sure if it was making a big difference, but seeing the thing try to swim away let her know she was doing something. "Sorry!" She apologized, focusing on one big push as she sent it towards the beast.

Lakshmi cocked her head slightly, her leg bouncing for a moment. He had actually hesitated--yes, this was the very one she needed. Too obedient and with little confidence would lead to disastrous results if things were to go awry. He had a good head on his shoulders, solidifying her choice and reassuring her greatly. He wanted so little, she almost felt bad for it. Fortunately she meant to keep good on her word and wasn't about to go scorning another.

"You'll do neither of those once we are done," She promised him that much, placing her hands at her sides before sliding gracefully to her feet. "As for getting in, that is the easy part. We will simply walk in through the servant's quarters, hiding in plain sight. Many like you have been hired off the streets for one night, and unfamiliar faces are common in the palace today. So long as you are with me, no one will question you. I will guide you to the khedive's room, you will take the lamp, and then we leave while everyone is none the wiser."

She stepped in front of Harun, a finger pointing upwards. "That said, there is no such thing as an easy walk of life. There may be a risk, I will not deny it. Should the worst come, I may not be able to protect you. If you have any doubts, any fears, then I advise you forget my face, and I will search for another," She gave him one final warning. "If you are still in agreement after hearing all that, then we will be off, and there will be no turning back."

Lakshmi lowered her hand, opening it up as she seemed to be holding it out for him. "Do we have a deal?"

Well that was awkward as fuck.

Eris blinked very slowly at the scene unfolding before him, shaking his head slightly like he was trying to shake the tension away. He was usually all for low-effort cheating, but he wasn't aware Varis was so brazen about it. Maybe it was because of his own experience with the illusionary princess, but Eris didn't really think mouthing off to royalty was ever a good idea. Either Ryner was excruciatingly patient or the Sinnenodel had something on her--alternatively she might have just been shocked like Eris was.

There was no chance to quip or stop the redhead, but he'd be lying if he said he tried hard. Still, now that he had a second of the princess' time, Eris straightened up slightly. His head might've been all over the place, but he wasn't about to lose the chance to make due on his promise sooner than later. If he was being honest, he would rather not set foot in the princess' office ever again if it could be helped.

"I'm sure your mailbox will be stuffed to the brim in that regard," Eris couldn't help but let that much dryness out before he paused, rubbing the back of his neck. "That being said, I would think he did you a favor on interfering with that particular task--having insight on the other sounds great until their memories get mixed around and things get...confusing..."

He didn't even get the chance to realize what he said before lowering his arm, a little tense as he closed his eyes. No, best to just spit it out and get it over with. Except, despite everything, it still felt wrong. It felt like he was outing some deep, dark secret, something he was never meant to tell, and feelings be damned if he was one to back-stab so suddenly out of the blue. Then again, did he really have any more dignity to lose? There was also the possibility that he was mistaken in the identity of who to pass the message to, but for now, he would take his chances.

After a few seconds of deliberating, he took a quick look around to make sure there weren't wandering eyes or ears. "It seems I had the opportunity to speak to Cydril," He lowered his voice as he spoke, gauging her reaction.

The rest of the walk out of the forest ended up no remark from Eris, the vampire determinedly silent. The shock hadn't exactly worn off just yet, but he had done some thinking and at had arrived at a crossroads of sorts. If he was being honest, it would be something that had always been at the back of his mind, successfully buried by...well, everything else in his life. These four years were supposed to be smooth, easy, and relatively peaceful--all he had to do was squeeze in some time for homework and he could essentially focus on building his businesses and annoy Max.

But no, that had been too much to expect. Instead he had to deal with murdered mages and a hysterical rumor mill that he had yet to fully take advantage of, and now this bullshit. He might've meant to take Max's advice to heart but holy fuck did he get more than he expected. Part of him was annoyed he hadn't gotten anything he could practically use unless someone invented some type of time machine, but the other part of him had been distracted by a teeny tiny little detail that affected Eris more than he was willing to admit.

But at least they were finally out of the fucking forest. "Thank fuck," There was no stopping his relief as he ran a hand through his hair, grimacing slightly at the feeling. Rather than its usual feathery soft texture, his blonde locks just felt dirty.

As the princess greeted them, Eris found himself having to put more effort into resisting the urge to roll his eyes. If it was up to the kid he would've been delivered in multiple pieces on a very long skewer. That said, he was glad to hear about getting a night off--he'd have plenty of time to find something to take care of his stress, because he was pretty sure tonight was going to suck. He'd have to talk to Max beforehand and that conversation was probably going to be annoying, and of course he needed to address the elephant in the room.

Actually, now that the princess was in front of him, the other Varis' words clicked in his head--the 'work colleague' mentioned must have been talking about Ryner. Great, now he had another cog to try to wrest himself out of. But that was no reason to be rude. "Quite the titillating challenge, Highness," He replied, leaving himself ambiguous if only because he personally hated every single second in that forest regardless of the other Varis-mind-fuckery and was quickly finding himself starting to hate all illusion and mental magic. And speaking of which... "I'm starting to think you have a fondness for illusory magic at this point."

How will you be handling certain plot points relevant to the world (such as Shinra and the Ancients)?
In Of Blood and Magic → 5 yrs ago Forum: Casual Roleplay

Watching Ben anxiously, Lilie probably would be physically antsy if she actually had her body. She had no idea what she was looking at, only knowing that whatever was in front of Ben looked really scary. She gasped as she saw it throw the harp at her body with no effort, only sighing in relief as the vampire managed to keep it from smushing her entirely. Why in the world was she delegated to spectator right now?! At least if she was unconscious she wouldn't have to watch what was happening! The feeling was probably one of the worst, helplessly watching as the two talked.

It seemed really, really mad that Ben had attacked, and Lilie wondered if maybe the answer to the riddle wasn't to attack. But if the point wasn't to fight, then what was the point of supplying weapons? Maybe it was a red herring. But then what was he supposed to do? She wondered if this was one of those times that he wasn't supposed to do anything--that's why it could talk, right? If it was meant to just be a fight, it probably wouldn't be able to talk.

As the thought crossed her mind, she noticed the water rising. Oh, oh no, that couldn't possibly be good. Was this a sort of timer? It must be, those weird looking things in the water didn't look friendly at all. She looked at Ben, realizing he hadn't noticed. Panic bubbled up again, and she wished that it would just stop. To her surprise, the water closest to her pushed back just a touch, and she felt like that was too much of a coincidence. So she could somehow still control her affinity? Or was it just lucky? Deciding to test it, she pushed back against the current, and even if the result wasn't as spectacular as she had hoped, she realized it reacted to her.

"Okay, I can still use my affinity...what can I do with that?" She openly wondered out loud, trying to think. Well, getting Ben to notice the rising water was probably a start. At least she could move around a little, putting herself as close to Ben as she could. "Here we go."

Going with the flow of the push and pull, she made sure to push with the waves to reach out further. Once she saw it react, she did one final push, the water swirling around Ben's ankles. Hopefully he would take note of it and realize he was being timed.

Edgar's enthusiasm was charming, his questions and eagerness to learn how the music worked did earn him a tiny smile on her end. It had been something of an impulse purchase, but at least it was interesting. Although now that he asked, Luna wondered if she would be able to explain it the same way the blacksmith did. That wasn't to say she had no idea what was in her hands, but explaining specifics and details wouldn't come easy.

The chance to explain was snatched before she had a chance to respond, but she supposed it was a more eloquent and simple explanation than her stuttering self could come up with. Her head was starting to hurt, the novelty of the distraction passing as she nearly jumped at the sight of the shadows. Looking around frantically, she tried not to panic, though the roar sent every calm thought into a frenzy as she squeaked out a tiny squeal of terror.

That squeal turned into an outright scream as that thing revealed itself to the party. What in the world was that?! It was huge, it was hideous, and by the looks of the corpses it gobbled up, it was hungering for them. Luna had no idea how she was still standing, feeling particularly unwell as she took a step back. The feeling amplified as Baldur was carelessly tossed aside, and as Artemisia sent out some sort of spell reminiscent of Aero, Luna moved to raise her bow. Or she would have had her arms not been shaking as much as a brittle leaf on a windy day.

"Wh-what do we do?!" Luna managed to ask.

The vambrace on his arm warned him what was coming, and Eris resisted the urge to groan as he instead looked up at the night sky. The colorization of daytime was alright, he'd be lying if he said it wasn't nice to look at (no matter how terrifying the thought of actually being outside at the same time the sun was) but the night sky still had its own beauty. For one, there was no beating the view of the stars above, and it wasn't so bright that he had to repeatedly squint at anything. He would never understand how mortals dealt with the change, but he tucked a reminder to find a way to ask Max without getting made fun of.

That said, either time was better than complete darkness, but once his vision clouded over, he held back another groan. Well, at the very least they were in agreement that now that this challenge was done, they were going to leave. And for the better in his opinion. Aside from probably being filthy at this point, there was a lot he needed to think about. He'd have to either dig around his luggage for his noise cancelling headphones or find some other excuse to get Max out of the dorm, he was pretty sure he just wanted to be alone tonight.

Hearing Varis' voice, Eris looked in the direction where he thought it was in and rolled his eyes. That wasn't really a suggestion. He went to make a gesture to Max before remembering he had no idea where he was, and slumped his shoulders slightly. "Lead the way, the sooner we get out, the better," He verbally agreed, stuffing his hands into his pockets.

Sulking mostly at @Achronum but @Scribe of Thoth and @Obscene Symphony are here too and might get second hand moodiness.
In Of Blood and Magic → 5 yrs ago Forum: Casual Roleplay

Varis had come out sooner than Eris thought he would. He couldn't really tell who had taken the longest, but he supposed he couldn't really talk as he felt he had definitely been in there longer than the mages did. No one else seemed worse for wear, either, so Eris was the only one that was probably actively annoyed. The thought crossed his mind that he made himself look weak in comparison, but right now, he really couldn't ass himself to actively care. At the very least they were on the same page. Eris just wanted to get away from both the mages fucking around with them and the forest as much as possible, grades be damned at this point.

Looking down at himself, Eris wrinkled his nose in disdain--trudging around in this stupid forest had basically ruined both pants and sneakers. "I'm going to need a long shower," He grumbled in response, taking advantage of the fact that he could still see and lightly dusting himself off. There was that little tidbit, too, he was pretty sure he'd lose his sight again any moment now.

At the mention of an invitation, Eris didn't respond at first. The only thing he could think about was the automatic 'yes' that had almost escaped him. Even now knowing what he did there was still that impulse, that tiny spark of happiness at even getting the chance to spend more time together. He always told himself that he didn't care what anyone thought, but he didn't know which he hated more, the fact that he did care or that even after receiving confirmation of knowing that he was just being strung along there was still a part of him that wanted to go.

He really was pathetic, wasn't he?

"Sure," Eris replied without looking at the redhead, rubbing his wrist for a second. He'd have to have the kid send a letter for him, too, once they were out.
