Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

<Snipped quote by PyroDash888>

It's not bad. We all get Writer's Block sometimes, there's no reason to beat yourself up about it.

@Guess Who

I wanted to be a bit more witty... Skyra being totally pissed off about a cafe called cat nap and stuff...
Don't think it really worked out.

Bleh... shitty post. Had no more ideas what to do and to write so I just threw some shit out there.

"Cat Nap...? Are you... are you actually trying to insult me right now...", Skyra deadpanned. The heavy smell of mint in the air drove the cat faunus mad. Despite common knowledge, Skyra absolutely hated the smell and the taste of mint and cat nip. And so the look of disgust on her face was visible as clear as day. Additionally she eyed the cats all around the place with a certain skepticism.
"This place feels incredibly eerie to me... I don't like it... It feels as if a racist put up a sign: 'Hey, you're a cat faunus, welcome home'", Skyra lamented.

[Still Day 1, Evening]

Sapphira stopped the dragging for a moment, turned around and frowned at Nena. "It is serious! She is in serious threat of, like, suicide and stuff. She majorly depressed about being in a life-or-death game." She herself smirked. "I, myself, am not bothered at all, but some of us are, now come with me."
While she lost the grip on Nena's collar, she still walked forward and at the same time, she shot a message to Cinera.
"Hey, where are you? Are you well?"

Sapphira shoved the braced back towards Cin, then she accepted the trade offer and shot him a friend request enclosed with the contact details of her blacksmith.
"Alrighty! Thanks for doing business with me!", she waved and smiled happily and then turned to Nena, grabbed her by the collar and dragged her to the inn.
"You're fun, you're coming with me. I need someone like you to cheer up one of my teammates, if I can find her again. I shot her a friend request, but I don't know where she is right now."
For people watching the whole ordeal, it looked crazy. A tiny fox-girl dragging along a tall fox-girl who looked to be almost two heads taller.

Thanks guys... I guess I needed that bit of confidence boost. That doesn't mean I still don't like my own posts, but it is nice to be assured that I'm doing fine when I'm feeling I am not. Thanks.

And no, @Guess Who. It is not because Kaben left me. I RP with her somewhere else, so I get my daily fill of Kaben there. I genuinely feel my writing quality is not what I think I should be able to do. I struggle especially with the beginnings of sentences. I don't always want to start a sentence in the "Subject-Verb-Object) manner. I need more variation.

I just get disheartened when I see the posts of others and envious as well.

*racks her brain on what to write next as Skyra...* (([@Lucius Cypher))

I believe I have become inadequate for this RP… If I look a what posts people put out regularly, I just can't…
Stupid English-not-being-my-native-language thing…
I feel I'm not good enough for this RP… and don't tell me otherwise, I know you want longer and better posts from me, well those of you who still sorta care, at least.

Sapphira scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Ah... well... I haven't actually bought anything yet. I've sold almost everything I got from the starter town at the local NPC merchants here just a few minutes ago." She shot him an apologetic look.
"But I can try to advise you as much as I can."
As Cin addressed the fox-maid, Skyra frowned. "Don't be mean...", she said in passing while looking at a couple of menus.
"Anyway, you wanted to know whether it'd be good to keep that weapon of yours, right? Well, currently you can't get any better weapons, but I met a blacksmith a bit ago, I can give you the contact information. Blacksmiths can upgrade your weapons. Currently your weapon is an iron halberd. Get the blacksmith a couple of iron ingots, a bowl of firesalt and a long plank of either oak wood or ash wood." She smiled.
"As it happens, firesalt is more or less rare at the start of the game, but I have a couple of bowls on me that I haven't sold yet. So, I can offer you to buy one right now, if you want."
Her head tilted in a peculiar way, which was more or less her vendor smile.
"For your secondary weapon, I can suggest this dagger here. It's a stage 2 item I managed to grab from one of the NPC by pure luck... uhm... I mean skill, of course."
Her hand, as quick as a flurry, pulled out a pretty shiny looking dagger and offered it to Cin.

@DestinyStar
I really like your character so far. She seems like a real person I'd meet IRL.

After being dropped off, Skyra extracted the business card Officer Midori gave them. "[e-mail]? Does it get even cheesier?", she muttered out loud. She patted the wrinkles out of her skirt and looked over herself and eyed her teammates, too.
"So... do you think we actually blend in with our outfits?", she addressed to no one of her teammates in particular. "I mean... more or less, you three... since I planned on taking the high road." With a smirk Skyra pointed at the roof of a nearby building. "With my outfit, I can easily stay concealed up there and scout ahead and watch out for you."
