As the girl introduced herself, Alexa had one hand behind her, gently nudging the girl to walk towards the strange altar. 'Veronika Maja Orlov... oh man... she's THAT snobby noble girl everyone talked about.' she thought with a mental cry of despair. Why, oh why, of all people she could be stranded with, it's with her?
Alexa didn't really have any problem with Veronika before because she made it a point to avoid the noble and her 'entourages' as much as possible. She didn't want any trouble and for her, keeping away from 'nobles' and the likes are one way to keep away from disaster.

Sighing, Alexa had to restrain from rolling her eyes when the wind ruffled Veronika's otherwise fine hair, her own short hair didn't have that problem although it also offered little protection to her neck from the wind. She's unable to keep the grimace from her face however when Veronika expressed her disbelief to Alexa's suggestion. Alexa's eye twitched slightly when Veronika asked about a hotel.
Seriously?
She was about to reply with heavy sarcasm when she saw Veronika seemed to take a look around and realized their situation. She watched as the noble frantically searching something in her pockets before looking back with a frown that spoke a lot of her misgivings about the situation.
At least the noble is not a crybaby. She wouldn't know how to deal with one.

"Look..." Alexa began slowly. "I'm not exactly thrilled to spent the night outside like this either, but I don't think we really have any choice, Veronika. Given the choice between stumbling around in cold darkness and staying here where there's at least some warmth till dawn, I know which one I'll be picking. I still don'... " Alexa stopped abruptly when the wind brought a vague sound that caused chills to run down her spine and blood drained from her face.

Howling. Wolves or maybe wild dogs.

Fortunately, it sounds like the howls came from quite a distance, no where near them for sure. But it's still a frightening thought that there were those predators out there while they had little to no protection. The only thing remotely resembled weapon is her swiss knife army in her pants pocket. For a few moments, she just stood there, frozen by fear again while listening to the howls, trying to determine whether it was getting closer to them or not. Shortly after, the howls stopped and only the sound of wind rustling the grass was heard.

Alexa worked her jaw wordlessly several times before she found her voice again. "...And do you REALLY want to go wandering with THAT out there..?" Her voice was an octave higher than before and wavering with suppressed hysteric.
I like the one where they have to study the tome, maybe have the tome self-destruct when they managed to cast the spell in it correctly? Just consider it as a mechanic to let the tome 'know' that the one studying it has mastered the spell.

For some reason I have a feeling that my girl will be the 'brute' while your girl will take the 'brawn' department. Not necessarily mean that my girl can't cast spell or your girl can't swing a sword. Just as the area they mastered most, if you know what I mean.

I like Veronika's objection about having to camp out in the wild, and her comment about a hotel takes the cake. xD I have a feeling that I'm going to see a lot more of Veronika's spoiled side when they have better lights later on?
lol, I had to rewrite sentences in my post multiple times. I keep trying to describe everything in details and when I did describe everything in details, I'm having problem trying to return to the point I was trying to put in the first place. XD
Alexa followed the other girl and approached the motionless body together. When the other girl pulled the hood lightly, Alexa gasped and her hand flew to cover her nose and mouth while staring at the man's face in horror. There's no mistaking that the man was dead with his blank glazed eyes seemingly peered at them both. She was not surprised when the other girl took several steps backwards, hell, she was pretty sure that she'd be having more or less the same reaction had she was the one who pulled the hood. And the smell... dear Lord.... 'Smells like days old rat corpse!' She thought with a grimace.

Just as Alexa gathered her courage to get closer, the body suddenly moved, causing her to let out a small scream.
However, he didn't get up, his body simply slid off the rock and fell to the ground, throwing the hood off his head completely. He definitely was not human, not with his long pointed ear, big dark eyes and sharp long face. He looked almost like one of those elves from Lord of the Ring Movie.
The smell only worsened after the man's hood was knocked off. Alexa started to scoot back and stood beside the other girl, trying to get her mind off the dead body and think about what to do next. There's no way they're going anywhere else for the moment, not with such limited lights, not to mention they won't even know where to go.

When the night wind blew across them, Alexa shivered and her mind latched onto the new problem. It's freaking COLD! And neither of them were dressed warm enough to last the night. Looking around, the only source of light they had were the candles on the altar, which miraculously not blown off by the wind that threw them before. It also the closest source of warmth they could get for the moment, as there's no way for them to collect any woods.

Tentatively, Alexa put her hand on the other girl's shoulder gently as not to surprise her. "I... I don't think we can go anywhere for now... L-Let's just try to stay warm near that... that altar. Shall we?" She said softly. The wall around the altar would offer some protection from the wind at the very least. "I'm Alexa, by the way. What's your name?" She queried the other girl while turning both of them away from the sight of the corpse and made their way towards the altar.
Recruit all the nerds (and maybe offer protection from bullies?). xD That is the kind of 'investment' that will help, me thinks.
Words! ^^
Well... I'm thinking something along expanding your influence through popularity or working on it from behind the scene.
Both have their pros and cons. Can't decide between the two yet. .___.
But my main answer would be: Influence over others
Welcome to the Guild, everyone. ^ ^

Hope you guys have loads of fun in here.
Start small. First, the school. x3
Well, I definitely want to try it. Unfortunately, my RL schedule can't really afford me replying RP except at night or weekends. So if you do count me in for the group RP or 1x1, consider yourself warned for slow replies from me.
