Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

No one had any immediate solutions. Few enough had any idea of where to start. However, Janius held a hand up to speak what needed to be said first. "Now hold on just a moment," he said with his eyes up and sincere at Meesei. "First of all, there's no telling whether you will fall in the assault. Do not speak of it as if you're doomed." He looked around at the others for confirmation. "We have faced insurmountable challenges before. We've drawn dangerously close to death, make no mistake. But we're alive. You're alive, Meesei. And, frankly, we are at our most powerful. You're chances are not guaranteed, but they are good."

The more cynical Fendros had his head down throughout the short speech, but even he had to nod by the end of it. He breathed in to respond, but was cut off.

"Yoooou...found my book," Ariel deduced with descending embarrassment in her voice. "Didn't you? That's why I'm here, isn't it?"

The entire pack, including Sabine, turned around to Ariel curiously.

She could not look them in the eye. She brushed a few loose strands of hair back over her ear. "I know you said you would rather your attributes remained secret. I apologise. But, on the bright side of things, I am as motivated to help as I am curious to help."

@Guy0fV4lor Following your PM, we're satisfied you've got a good initial direction. Keeping in mind the points from the feedback in my previous post, we're happy to have you on board.

Daedalus is approved.

Before Meesei and Hal-Neesa arrived, the atmosphere was fairly pleasant with Ariel greeting, hugging and talking with everyone. Even with Sabine letting her newer packmates go about their business in the camp, Meesei's tent felt crowded in short order. Although, what Meesei said suddenly made it feel less abuzz.

Reactions in the tent were quiet, but varied. Sabine grew silently shocked. Janius was confused and worried. Ariel covered her mouth with her hand.

Fendros glanced at the faces around him. He did not look happy, but he kept his emotions to himself. "Destroyed?" he repeated. He looked down at the table for a moment as if searching and then looked back up at Meesei. "Did you learn this from the Psijics? Surely they knew something that could be done about it."

@Guy0fV4lor Your application is judged! Here's your feedback:

RE: Daedalus

Much like the incomplete statue form Daedalus has taken, we see potential in your character!

I noticed that you made the portfolio much clearer as to its capabilities as I advised you before, that's good to see. As a small point, there's been observations that talking about multipliers and specifically a century worth of time may be a little too particular -- in practice, the story provides wiggle room either way for the exact parameters of portfolio capabilities, but this isn't much of a problem. More pertinent, though, is that we should mention just as a clarification that the Craftsmanship portfolio probably will not allow discounts when purchasing any artefact or monument. That said, artefacts or monuments that serve as tools and/or facilities for the act of craftsmanship are fair game as far as we can see. For the latter point especially, it may help to mention such in your portfolio description just to tighten it up.

Now, I warned you that the other GMs are likely going to ask about your immediate plans for your character, and we're in unanimous agreement that the blank-slate persona is conspicuously open-ended. Before we give a proper approval, I'd like you to PM us (@Cyclone@BBeast@Muttonhawk) on RPGuild with a short run of what you have in mind. Something as simple as where you want to start off nearby in Galbar and the peoples you'd like to try interacting with starting out, followed by speculation on what might happen next, will help us a lot in being confident with Daedalus.

Also, as a passing note, give your CS a quick proof-read for punctuation to make it cleaner ;)

We'll await your response! Daedalus may have a place in Divinus, it just needs a little more detail.

Ariel did not take terribly long, even without being rushed. She took a few minutes to get changed and put together a day-pack of some notes, a book or two, and another change of clothes. Rukeewei was told to cover for the shop if she was not home in four hours, but she was understandably not certain how long the business would take.

The portal back to Blackreach was met with some mock disappointment from Tarna. The humour put Ariel's guard down before they stepped through and beheld the Oblivion gate again.

Ariel's mouth hung slightly open as she stared fascinated at the distorted light around it. Strangely, she did not seem shocked or scared, just hushed. "I get a feeling, looking at this," she said. "It reminds me of home."

Sabine looked to Ariel curiously. "It reminds you of Thorn?"

"No." She slowly shook her head. "It reminds me of the coven, though...never so overwhelmingly like this."

With a smile, Sabine took Ariel's hand and led her and her pack into the Hunting Grounds once more. "We will wait for you there, Meesei," she said behind her.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

Ariel blushed and averted her eyes at the compliment. "Oh, no, I am sure there are more qualified people amongst you..." she said with an uneasy laugh.

The next thing Meesei said gave Ariel pause. "Oh? Which hunting grounds?" she asked.

Sabine answered. "Hircine's."

Ariel's eyes flicked to Sabine, then to Do'rhajul, Tarna, and then Meesei again. "The Hunting Grounds?"

Sabine nodded once, smiling lightly.

Ariel worried her brow and pressed the tip of her finger on the table. "You have a camp...in the Hunting Grounds, Hircine's plane of Oblivion itself...and you need my advice on lycan souls for a few hours?"

"I promise there is no danger, sister," Sabine assured. "Meesei has not told me what her matter is. But the matter with the Hunting Grounds is to do with the mission I alluded to before. It will make more sense when we are there."

At first, Ariel looked so uneasy that she might have fainted. But as her shoulders lowered and she stopped to think, the colour came back to her cheeks and she turned her head to Rukeewei. "This does sound urgent. Could you finish up tonight, Rukee dear? I will make it up to you, I promise."

@Guy0fV4lor Sorry for the late response. A portfolio relating to construction and architecture is a feasible option! The name is a bit on-the-nose but we can work on that x). Let me send you and invite to the Discord server and the players can babble in your ears as well.

Divinus: The God RP, Mk. III. Finished in Record Time™!

@AspenIvan Sounds like it could be fun. I'll PM you an invite to the Discord and you can ideate with some of the players as you get a character sheet together.

@Guy0fV4lor There's room for you as well! Before you go to the trouble of filling out a sheet just yet, could you tell us more about the character you'd like to play as well? Just so we have a rough idea.

Divinus: The God RP, Mk. III. Finished in Record Time™!

Welcome, AspenIvan! We do have room for more players, though the final say on whether Shengshi will be a parent is up to his player.

Could you tell us more about the kind of demigod character you'd like to apply with?

Ariel quickly realised herself and settled down when Meesei started talking. She sat down at the table with them, though her smile shrank when it dawned on her just how immediately Meesei wished her to visit the clan.

"Well," she started, leaning her arms on the table. "It is on rather short notice, but...By the way you speak of this matter, it does not sound like you wish to find a counter to another poisonous weapon." She quickly added on. "You know I am always willing to help, however I can! I...perhaps a better question would be how I can help?"
