Sorry team, I'll try to post tomorrow!

@Lilaen

So uh... obviously that^ didn't happen. Sorry about that! Basically I'm still interested and totally swamped for the next few weeks but I hope we're able to continue this and get our chars to all meet up in the mortal realm.

Still hyped

Mag'mora - Lust

---

Mag’mora regarded Nemorus suspiciously as the gargoyle spoke, but listened. She began to question just why the creature’s new mistress desired to invite them when Ag’thal spoke up. The Sin of Greed could be insightful when it chose to be, a thought Mag’mora attempted to relay in her shadowy expression as Ag’thal peered over to her with those many eyes.

She scoffed at Nemorus' next words.

“Oh, out of the good of her heart? Hah, I’m so sure!” The shadow beast shook its head then seemed to collapse where it stood, flitting along the grey dirt of this long-forgotten pit as a black haze until it recongealed beside the gargoyle as it latched onto Ag’thal. “That said, I won’t say no. This pudgy little pawn is quite right, brothers, there’s nowhere left but up.” Her shadowy wings fluttered and arm extended to point a singular wispy finger up.

“So let us begin. Call on your master. I desire to meet her and play with the mortals. That would be much preferable to languishing away here for a few millennia...”

My votes would be milestone progression and level up during a long rest, but I'm happy to play it however you prefer.

Having sloth's power be to drain someone and make them lethargic and apathetic is perfect and amusing. Welcome @EchoicChamber!

Sloth

Sloth turns out to be a mega badass if she can ever be assed to do something.

Whizz CRASH

---

Elated at his acceptance to the academy, the kenku hardly stopped chattering for days. Of course, his chattering took the form of jumbled sentences constructed from snippets of conversation he had heard in the past, so it was quite jarring to anyone unfamiliar with kenku. Most of his recent dialogue seemed to be be sampled from what sounded to be a young human boy who was very excited about something. There were many “Wow!”s and “I love it!”s and a few “Thank you so much”s as he familiarized himself with the Faded Imp House and the denizens thereof.

Pylia seemed capable enough, though when she had made it clear that they would need to pay fifty gold per month, Whizz emulated a long whistling sound of some projectile flying through the air, then exploding. He was not enthused. This dismay didn’t last long, however, because once the imp began explaining the various opportunities to research and work and make some coin, Whizz was quite eager to begin.

The kenku had indifferent feelings about the elven man, Mi’Durgen. He was pleasant, but boring and seemed to enjoy naps more than anything else. Eats Well, however, concerned him at first with his non-nonsense attitude and gruff demeanor. However, after only a couple days of seeing the lizardman’s dedication to his work, Whizz Crash regarded him more favorably and, if Eats Well would tolerate it, WC would even assist in some of his prep work in the kitchen! Unfortunately, after only one meal, the kenku decided that he’d rather fiddle with gears, sprockets and magical do-hickies than knives and meats, so he politely bowed out of any further meal preparation chores.

Lithe... spooked him. She was very bright, he could tell, and admittedly he hadn’t met many tieflings and he was curious about her, but something about her manner unsettled him. Even so, she would find that the kenku was quite the minion and he would be relatively easily manipulated into doing simple tasks so that she wouldn’t have to. He was, at heart, a follower so long as the quest was not too great.

Once Pylia announced that she had an expedition for the new cohort, Whizz was chirpy and joyous once again, gleefully chittering. “I wonder! I wonder!”

Whizz Crash methodically packed up his meager few items into a small satchel which hung from one shoulder and across his torso to rest on the opposite hip. His talons click-clacked on the stonework as he hopped from foot to foot after closing his room to make his way to the prepared wagon.

He waved to Pylia, avoided making eye contact with Lithe, and climbed into the wagon only to find a fellow student already within. The high elf. Despite the fact that she was quite obviously content with silence and her studies, the kenku erupted with a pleasant greeting as he joined her.

“Hello!” A very human voice came from the very avian red beak of the bird man. He swept a wing across his chest then bowed his torso forward abruptly. “I’m-” Then came a mechanical whirring buzz, followed by a sudden, grinding halt and smashing of machinery. He cocked his head sideways at the elf. “What’s your name?” The voice returned to something vaguely human that he had heard some time in the past.

Mag'mora - Lust

---

Envy. Such a spiteful creature.

Mag’mora gave an exaggerated eye roll to the Black Hound’s comment on her appearance, though she seemed to humor him as slits formed in her alabaster flesh and it split then sloughed off of her form, leaving something only remotely humanoid in its wake. Lust, at heart, was a creature of the shadows. It sulked, wings coiled about itself as it hunched over.

“It is my prerogative to entertain myself as I please here, Shael’vol.” His name was spoken in a chiding manner but not from a pleasant feminine tone anymore. Now the voice was raspy and harsh. “Does this suit you better? Or maybe I should take the form of some grub or toadstool, so that you need not idolize and hate me for my beauty.” These words were almost spat out as Lust leered at him from a face that was nearly all long, spindly yellowed teeth.

This strange maw turned to face Ag’thal once again, and now two wide, pale eyes bubbled up from the black wispy flesh to fix on her. Thin, almost reptilian lips slid over the teeth to soften to expression. “You have designs on the mortal realm, Ag’thal?” Lust rumbled in thought. “Yes, that would certainly be preferable to this purgatory. The humans have much in the way of desires for us to toy with... Hm.”

As Getrus spoke once again, and revealed a human form of his own, Mag’mora’s feminine laughter returned, though it might seem odd as it erupted not from pert lips but a beast of shadows. Her laughter was pleasant. Cheerful. Not mocking, for once.

“Quite delightful, brother.” Lust intoned to Wrath, referencing their familiarity to one another perhaps as a tribute of peace. The shadow creature stretched itself out, rising to a height of about twelve feet as sheer, ashen wings unfurled, fluttered, then fell into place again and the creature condensed once again to about seven feet tall. She regarded Getrus. “Though personally I was quite fond of those wings of yours... the human disguise would do nicely if we simply had a method of passing from one plane to another.”

Almost on cue, then came Neromus’ chittering voice. Lust peered at the gargoyle with suspicion. Nothing good ever came of a gargoyle.

“What deal, whelp?” Mag’mora snapped, betraying her own cool demeanor to reveal her impatience. "If you mean to imply that there is a way to depart this den of tedium, then out with it."

Not to shit on people new to the site (I've been here less than a month!) but, I think our three friendos: @JackDLemmy @JakRipper88 and @In Crypt Dead might not be as into it as they thought since they all haven't logged on in over two weeks. That's cool, it's not for everyone and if they come back let's try to write them in!

... but in the mean time, what do you guys think about opening up their spots and bumping the interest thread with those availabilities? I think they were planning on playing Pride, Gluttony, and Sloth.

I'm also totally not trying to rush them or anyone else to post since my posting speed is going to be abysmal for a lil bit. I just figured since they've been absent, we might get the ball rolling on a replacement so we don't lose our inertia.

I’m excited but unfortunately probably won’t be able to post until this weekend. But then I’ll bring my bird boy out. Kraw!
