It'll be a bit longer before I'm able to post, but I'll get on it when I can. Sorry for the wait.

Bio
Welcome WIP |
Greetings visitor! I hope you're having a good day! Whether you've seen me around the guild or not, I should admit that it's only been within year-6 of my time on this site that I've bothered to start work on this here "bio". I feel like I should apologize for not making it a higher priority much sooner, but lately I've adopted that "better late than never" mindset when it comes to introductions, and besides, I doubt there was much to tell in my early years anyway. I'm pretty much an amateur writer who got my start as a minor tag-along player in a fandom AU campaign ran by a small, close-nit remnant of a community formerly in association with a notable strategy-gaming youtuber. I'm being vague for brevity's sake. In the end, I value my first exposure to roleplaying as a personal learning experience more than anything, as I'm definitely the kind of person that sequesters themselves in any given community they find themselves in and RPG is certainly no exception.
That pretty much explains what I've been up to for the last several or so years, with only occasional public posts from me, as private 1x1 roleplays are easily where the lion's share of my attention goes to. Details regarding my particular interests and even approach as a prospective partner can be found in the interest check I update very rarely, but if you'd like to have a link to it or want to work with me in a similar capacity, then PMs are the best way to reach me. As for what you can expect in very broad terms, I'll say that I'm a 90s kid who'd grown up on Nintendo and Cartoon Network where, thanks to Toonami, I've developed an appreciation for the Japanese style of animation, a style that commonly influences my own creative endeavors to this day. That is in no way to say that I'm an avid watcher of anime and the like (I have my tastes and while that does sometimes coincide with what's current, it usually doesn't), just that I gravitate toward the ludicrous, extraordinary concepts and settings they commonly facilitate. That style aligns with what excites me creatively. That's the long and short of it. Exceptions do exist of course.

Cecilia nodded silently during Neric's explanation, her mouth full at the time, but she reckoned that she'd keep quiet regardless. She'd just as easily assume a Void would rely on what their partner takes in as nourishment, but it seemed that their diets were as considerably varied as their appetites were massive. It made sense when she considered all the amazing things they can do. Her curiosity satiated and then some, she gladly watched the shrouded monkey go for seconds. It was nice that Neric wasn't adverse to simple questions like hers, but she felt the need to quit while she was ahead. Besides, she didn't want to possibly spoil his breakfast with too many inquiries.
Giggling more than a little after Jame's comment about Neric's appetite, she was caught with a slice of canadian bacon in her mouth and held her left hand over her mouth until she swallowed. From the sounds of things, it was likely very hard at times for the two of them to make it on their own, Neric's reference to the power lines reinforcing this point. But she took encouragement that after all the trouble they may have gotten themselves into, they can still enjoy themselves like this. "Well I'm glad to hear it. This has been a great morning for me," she said sprightly. "Honestly, that was probably one of the best night's sleep I've had in a while."
It was at this time that Cecilia thanked him for last night and looked quietly at his response. He had always seemed more calm and collected than she was the other day. Of course, she may just not have paid close enough attention, more concerned with herself and how she was reacting than his side of things. But seeing him now was a cause for flushed pause, her eyes turning down to her plate before raising affectionately to him. "I... really enjoyed being with you too. You really know how to make someone feel special," she said delicately yet genuinely in return, her face reddening as well. She felt her feelings were a bit more clear, and seeing that James may feel similarly made her really happy, even if she still worried at saying the wrong thing. She was still new to this, after all.

"Good morning you two," Cecilia greeted delightfully as she looked up from her tray (she was always careful when handling sensitive things like this), her expression brightening as she smiled between them. "And sure, I'd love to sit with you guys." She carried her breakfast and set it down on a table for the three of them. She turned her head to Neric momentarily while she lowered to her seat, more intrigued to see him "consume" peppers and sauce than him taking a new monkey-like form. She mulled her next words over, already guessing as to what he'll say, but wanting to inquire anyway, as banal as the question may yet sound to him. "I didn't know you eat, Neric. How did you like it?" she asked in genuine curiosity, her fork coming over and slitting the yoke which spilled over the hash brown - a wonderful consistency.
Cecilia began to dig in, the egg on hash just too enticing to not take a bite of first. She uttered a pleased little "Mmm...", glad that the dish tasted as good as it looked and she'd even admit better than any she herself had made, though not aloud. She was very impressed with the new girl who had been so bold in addressing Kyle and Ivy prior to seating herself with them. Cecilia pondered whether or not to introduce herself, but thought that now might not be the best time, although she may have been more worried at saying the wrong thing to her or embarrassing herself in a number of different ways than making the new girl uncomfortable. And being in a crowded room only made Cecilia more anxious and heightened the stakes should worse come to worse. So she left it for now, turning her attention to James and smiling warmly. "Thanks for seeing me to my cabin, James. It was very nice of you."

Viranti
Viranti’s world shrunk and his perception was hindered by a dissonant haze, not that the pitch black backdrop that made up this setting left much to be observed. Parallels could be drawn to before he first woke up in this world, except he really couldn’t move and just layed on his back, limbs sprawled out and him facing upward, him at least discerning that much. The feeling of being bounded and immobile was epotently familiar and wholly unwelcome, and he struggled in place to break free, but wasn’t in the least bit successful. His efforts gradually grew in urgency and progressed into full blown panic.
After a tense few moments, the deeply alarmed dragon finally moved his right arm and swung it in front of his field of vision. But what should have been a cause for relief turned anything but, his bare hand and forearm appearing to petrify into hardened sandstone before cracking and jaggedly splintering apart before his eyes.
Viranti’s eyes surged wide open, his body coming alive in a frenzy of movement that climaxed with him jolting into a roll off of his bed of leaves. He breathlessly surveyed his surroundings and found that he was back in the forest, just prior to sunrise. Now on his knees, his breathing slowed gradually and indeed was visible in the frigid early morning. His left arm helped hold himself up as his right hand smoothed over his face and down his head and horn. It was fair to say: that was all the sleep he’d be getting for the time being.
...
Viranti had eaten all he could the night before and decided to spend some time sitting by the lake, his feet in the water. The marvelous novelty of a sizable body of water wasn’t lost on the hunter, him feeling what it might be like to be a human stumbling across a similar quantity of gold or treasure. He smirked thinly as his feet played about under the surface, proud of himself that he wasn’t empty headed enough to jump right in the first time he saw it and probably drown within minutes.
Lingering for a few moments after daybreak, the young dragon exited the forest, taking only a few of the supplies he had gathered the previous day and headed back to Edivid, quietly in thought throughout the trip. He arrived to find the Oracle and some of the others waiting next to a fantastic “structure” of some kind. “I am here, Oracle,” he spoke simply, eyeing the gateway skeptically. “This is where we must go?” His unfamiliarity with this mode of travel may go without saying, but he was willing to enter this portal with little question should it be necessary for him to do so.
Cecilia never thought much about birdsong in all her time traveling. Yet as she stepped over the grass, the healthily green blades bending under her feet, she mused that if there was ever a time to grow an appreciation or even love of such audible ambience, it'd be during her time here. Yet she was also grateful that there weren't any wild roosters in the vicinity, a loud crow not likely to do her subtle yet present morning grogginess any favors. However, she knew that a good breakfast would and she knew she needed all the strength she could get if she wanted to train to the best of her ability sometime today.
Opening the door to the cafeteria, Cecilia received the distinct impression that it was quite more lively than before. This, she could tell, was due in large part to the ever effervescent Ivy enthusiastically associating with a new camper, Kyle standing next to her. All of a sudden, Max's smoke trail rushed through the door as it was closing behind her. Cecilia suspected it was him, her suspicions confirmed as he rematerialized into his human form, dusting himself off. Cecilia scratched her cheek in her bewilderment, unsure what to make of how hectic things were getting. But she figured extraordinary things like this were just a part of the experience and to be expected. Still, she kinda hoped that nothing would faze her by now. Better luck tomorrow.
From the back end of the line, she could see James and Neric, always a welcome sight and something that brightened her expression all the more while she peered down the sneeze guards and faced a delightful bout of indecision. She couldn't forget that there were campers behind her however, and so picked up a few slices of pork loin (Canadian Bacon) and eggs over easy on top of a golden hash brown with a side of chopped fruit with a sense of haste, the added pressure provoking an immediate, honest response on her part. It honestly looked delicious and she was eager to actually finish this meal.

Viranti
It was a curious thing.
When Viranti first entered the forest, and after he stood in bewilderment at how much shade there was for a few seconds, he noted the ambient sounds of wildlife, the birds chirping to the spontaneous accompaniment of various calls by scurrying mammals and even larger creatures. It was the presence of these larger creatures that he was most interested in as he was unwilling to risk eating the bulbous and colorful growths on the branches and bushes.
Unfortunately, Viranti found that there was a learning curve involved with hunting deer in a forest for anyone unfamiliar with either. It seemed like an eventual matter, but it wasn't long until he came across a wild bear during one of his attempts, the large, furry beast roaring loudly and charging at the dragonute. Viranti frowned, not at all thrilled that he wouldn't get another chance to hunt deer before the day was through.
...
The beast took a while to skin, but Viranti was eager to try cooking chunks of it on a spit over the fire pit he made next to a pile of leaves where he'd be sleeping. He had dragged his kill to a clearing, wanting to see the stars before he slept for the night. As he thought and mulled over while he relocated what was left of the bear's carcass elsewhere so he wouldn't be bothered further: the stars were unlike the celestial bodies overlooking his homeland. Though, as he just about gorged himself on bear meat and drank what he could from a nearby lake, he did feel marginally better, the animal's flesh almost having a sweet quality to it, although that could have just been because of how hungry he was. Either way, it was the first good thing that's happened to him since this ordeal. And so, with little else to do and with the crackling fire to keep him warm, Viranti laid down in a curled position over the bed of leaves, his tail curving in front of his legs.
The curious thing was: The forest was completely silent, as though even the nocturnal creatures were disinclined to make a sound. This would continue all the way until the dragon left for the village in the morning.
Cecilia woke up a short while before the bell, but, as she suspected when she first sat on her bed yesterday, it was so comfortable that she had a difficult time getting out of the sheets. But when the bell did ring, her eyes darted open and she knew she couldn't just linger anymore than she already had. Sitting up in her pajamas. she yawned and rubbed her eyes as she looked over at Valencia, who would also be awake from the camp-wide morning wake up call. Cecilia knew that Valencia liked to go at her own pace and didn't want to bother her too much, especially if she wasn't a morning person. So she simply said good morning and encouraged her to take her time, quietly getting out of bed herself and changing her clothes for this new day. After making her bed, she looked down at it and smiled, thinking about last night and how she couldn't wait to see him again. The young girl turned to the door and after sidestepping the floor mat again, went outside.
I might post how Viranti would end the day, but it isn't terribly important. Although I'd love to read about these separate interactions between everyone, it may be best to move things along. I would suggest a definite real-life date in which a "ready or not, it's time to move it along to the next stage" occurs. If not, perhaps anyone who's in the middle of an interaction could say when they'll be ready to post something. Besides that, I got nothing. I'm not ready to start mentioning and requesting people to post.
I'll get on a post tomorrow. And @Vampy, unless I'm mistaken, I think Valencia and Cecilia are cabinmates. Just in case you wanted to incorporate that somewhere in your post. But if not, that's fine. :)
