In The End (Code Vein RP)

Ambrosio's first instinct was that they probably had a small cache there since it was unlikely someone would go into the bathroom thinking they did anything but their business. Despite not knowing whether they were human or revenant, he did need supplies and scouting information. If they were doing something more sinister than surviving, he needed to know in case he met more thralls like himself.

He entered the room, careful to look for anything that might be a trap, especially careful of tripwires or wires attached to the door to activate upon opening too much. Barging into a possible bolt hole was always accented by an ever present trap danger.

The Vanishing Kingdom

Kistal simply nodded to Allanon and let him stand guard with the satyr. He melted back into the shadows and restarted his vigil. Once morning came and the messenger arrived along with a blood soaked man, Kistal stepped forward. "They knew we would send a party. It is the Calabris way to do something like this. That means their main camp will be reinforced, expecting us. I suggest a small group of our stealthiest moving in from behind to catch them off guard and the main force distracting at the camp entrance."

He let out a small grumble, seeming to be antsy. "I would like to get some Calabris blood on my hands, especially after they attacked a town for no reason." His spear, unusually, was held parallel to the ground, in a ready state. Kistal seemed to be itching to go.

Chihiro woke up to find a new visitor and news of Kalla being attacked. She let out a hiss under her breath. "They will pay for being such dirty criminals. They will not know what will hit them." As Hilde began to worry and regret, though, Chihiro's countenance quickly softened. She knelt by the Varuk woman and wrapped her up in a hug. "It will be ok, dear. Allard is tough and strong. Here or there, you will be of assistance. You were either damned if you stayed or damned if you went. The camp will have the most enemies, so being here means you can prevent further attacks on Kalla."

The Vanishing Kingdom

Chihiro stayed asleep for the most part. She did end up half-awake at the end but saw no danger and just went back to sleeping. After all, she had a dream she quite liked and wanted to get back to as soon as feasible. Her eyes were already closed, and her mind was already nearly back into sleep as Nix leaped over her.

Kistal was about to resume talking to her when his companions stirred and spooked her. She took the meat he was going to give anyway and bounded off. He made no move to pursue and in fact stepped to the side to make it clear he intended no one to go after her. He looked back over his shoulder at the waking companions. "Let her go. She just wanted food. I gave her some of my extra food, sweet meats specifically." He leaned against his spear and watched her agility. It was very interesting to watch. She was out of her element but seemed to adapt at a decent pace.

The Vanishing Kingdom

Chihiro couldn't help but watch the half-Varuk woman get ready for bed. Many would find such a simple thing boring, but the naga was less interested in the actions and more in seeing the young woman she knew from birth. With a smile, she caught the bedroll and laid it out close to Hilde's. Chihiro then stretched out and polymorphed her clothing to leave her barefoot and in a long silver silky night gown, albeit one that was short and only reached mid thigh. Her hair lost the tie, leaving it to flow wild and free, cascading down her shoulders and chest. Unlike Hilde, Chihiro's muscles were harder to see. One could see she was fit and athletic, but she had a body type more suited to a seductress, harboring relatively wide hips and an ample bosom. Underneath her soft skin and curves was a veritable wall of muscle.

She curled up on her bedroll, facing to the cave entrance out of habit and keeping her back tight up against the wall.

While Anrak explained, Kistal was silent. He nodded occasionally, giving his goatee a rub in thought, seeming to gauge the words and actions of the half-minotaur. Once the book was held out, he did take it, looking at its condition and finding it well used but cared for. There was nothing to suggest foul play. He offered the book back to Anrak after inspecting it. "Keep it. It is helping you and you are being forthcoming. I hav eno reason to distrust you. If anyone causes you trouble, I will help set them right."

He nodded to the other man. "I have seen my fair share of false accusations and assumptions. That is why I pressed to be told by you rather than let others speak for you. Good to have you here. I look forward to seeing what we can do." He sniffed the air casually and then gave a teasing smirk to the half-beastman. "Your meat is about to burn."

That night:

Kistal found Nix's stealth and care impressive and entertaining, but she didn't his presence in a secluded corner of the cave. He watched her from the darkness, his nose, eyes, and ears drinking in every detail to determine her intentions. She only wanted food. She did nothing to his comrades. So, the satyr silently snuck up behind the half-beastwoman, grabbing his sweets bag along the way, and laid a large hand on the top of her head between her ears. Before she could bite or bolt, he dangled the bag in front of her to let her smell the sweets.

His words were a whisper, trying not to alert or wake his comrades. "Can you understand me, wolf girl?"

After the kids left and trapped the area, Ambrosio grumbled and swore under his breath. "If it isn't one thing, it is another. If I find anyone around here with a working brain, I will have to warn them about these." He left his hiding spot once the area was clear and began to go towards his destination again. He hoped to get back up to the previous level and figure out the next step in his process.

His footsteps were slowed by his care in trying not to hit any landmines. Any suspicious object was met with him getting as close to the side as possible and interjecting his shield between it and himself in case of proximity detection. Along the way, he began to think of possible ways to escape the group that took him and the others prisoner. He would probably have to dust them, which was far from ideal but may be necessary.

The Vanishing Kingdom

Chihiro nodded as Hilde explained herself. The naga then drew the girl into a hug. "It soothes me some to know that I didn't come across as insulting or condescending. If you do adventure with me, be prepared not to return to Kalla for a while. It could be a year or more, depending on what trouble we get into. You also may want to bring your best clothes too. Sometimes I end up in front of nobility, and they can be very snobby." She kept Hilde close, even laying her chin on the top of Hilde's head. She was rather known for being affectionate, but for Hilde and Valia, Chihiro was especially gentle and affectionate. They were essentially her closest friends in the area, and she watched the two girls grow into beautiful women, becoming individuals in their own right.\

The chief talked to Kistal about watch for the night. He shrugged and chuckled heartily. "I planned to be the night watch regardless of being asked. I can see in the dark and have strong senses, so it makes me a prime candidate. It also helps to be completely unable to sleep. I could probably make some hearty food in the night to get you all a good hot meal in the morning, assuming we have resources."

The Vanishing Kingdom

Chihiro's reaction to the sarcasm was a bit unexpected. Something about Hilde's tone and the general feel of Varuk made the naga suspect she may have said something to bother the girl. The sarcasm was expected, the words were not. "Did I say something wrong?" The confusion was obvious. Despite her mentioning sparring with either of them, she had, as the conversation drew on, decided against sparring except with Allanon. He seemed able to handle her style with minimal risk.

She imagined Hilde might have misunderstood her intentions or words. Maybe she thought Chihiro didn't see her as a warrior despite that being far from the truth. It was exactly because she was a warrior and so determined that Chihiro wanted to shield her from harm and help her grow. The internal monologue and general conflict made the naga shift uncomfortably on between her feet, one hand grasping the forearm of her other arm, serving to almost make the proud and strong woman seem cute. It also had a side effect of drawing attention to her very luxuriously curvy and well developed features, though Chihiro was not intending to seem sexy, just showing her embarrassment and discomfort.

In The End (Code Vein RP)

Amrosio was not in any state to desire conflict with potentially innocent children. So, he stayed hidden, keeping his presence as concealed as was reasonable given his equipment. He wanted to observe them and see if they would be hostile to him. If not, he might talk to them and ask about any path to the upper levels. Given their use of weapons not seeming to be fitted with a drain mechanism, they were unlikely to be revenants, so Ambrosio was especially cautious as humans tended to be skittish around revenants.

His body, due to his long time honing his muscles and physique, could handle all this crouching and hiding, but his desire to keep moving forward and acting ate away at his patience. He needed to stay still and not make a move, so he was in internal conflict between his nature and the practical aspects of his situation.

Cooking Fantasy maybe?

I use either and actively avoid real people for my characters. It just tends to be a bit odd to me to use real people for fictional worlds. It may just be me though.

Cooking Fantasy maybe?

This seems to be on track to get rolling soon. Keep me posted on when the OOC goes up, I'll start thinking on character design for this.
