There was a lot of screaming and the pillars were twisting and melding to form gigantic slabs of white marble. Lute shook his head and his vision cleared for a few seconds; he saw Trixie yelling at the communicator and then directing him towards where the assailant should be. Before he could go there, the man himself, a giant with a mask that looked like a ‘…bunny?’ shoved Rose and then stole away with the noisy brat. He didn’t hurt Trixie though, which was a relief.

“He’s too fast for his size,” The virtuoso spat out venomously as the surroundings started to blur again. Soothing warmth suddenly blossomed through his neck and Lute felt better. The twinge he felt whenever he moved his affected arm had lessened too, so he switched back to holding the sword on his dominant hand before running after the scoundrels.

“Thanks! Hey, Trixie, you coming!?” Lute yelled out before rounding a corner in pursuit of Fabian and Mattis. Fresh footsteps, but rapidly fading. ‘Bunnyface better slow his ass down so I could track him!’ Delilah roared as the two of them expanded their range in hopes of pinning the thieves down. Once the prankster caught up- and Lute knew she would what with her speedy frame- her sharp sense of smell would definitely help them get a larger perimeter.

Oh, that pop was absolutely horrifying!

Francesca was startled from her musings when a sudden noise echoed within the large theater. When bursts of light suddenly rained down from above, the thief shielded her eyes and crouched behind the railing in case the red flares blew her cover. Without having to peek over to see their source, an amused smile crept up her lips as she shook her head.

As extravagant as always.

When the light from the flares died down, Francesca deemed it safe to stand up once again. From her perch on the first tier of seats on the balcony, she could plainly see their leader, the Masked Phantom, floating above the grand stage. He spoke with the Guilders, although the lads and lasses looked at each other and floundered about for what to reply. She sighed and twirled the rapier around again.

“Only a little bit longer now, Jay,” She couldn’t help but sound relieved as she sent a message through the communicator. “Mattis, have you got Fabbee? He’s not terribly hurt, is he?”

Well, what next…?

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Oh man, you got me at Third Birthday. F3 sounds really cool, I wish I had the chance to see it (or better yet, joined it)! :0 Also Rex, Crispin and Bazooka sound great. 8D

I'll go write my post in a few~

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Don't waste your magic on a corpse.

Have fun with this round, everyone. Again, welcome to our new gore babies! >8D Muehehehehehehe this is totally not an evil laugh and I am totally not making an evil plot.

I won't be posting until after the next move-along post, just in case somebody was expecting a reaction from either Avian/Songbird. :)

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

No, no, this is fun. 8D I loved Jasper's reactions. Don't worry about it, Kimchi.

Worst end ftw!

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Man, Inadi's so.... e n e Gosh. *kicks Inadi in the face* >8C Jerk! ASDKNEWKFJENJWFNKWEFJ. We're cool doe, MUG. It's great to see how nice he is to the humans but an absolute butt to the nobodies.

Great posts, everyone! .... Jaspurr... Honey. I don't think it's the best time to do that D8

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Oh maaan, this is like a bad trip to yesteryear where there's me naming all of my OCs the same name.

Pretty lengthy. D8

Favorite RPs

No specific order, I just like numbering stuff. Also I noticed that I like fantasy/adventure rps. OTL

#1: Lies of the Thrones (discontinued)
Ugh, this saddens me up until now. Lies was just so... vivid, y'know. I loved how planned out everything was, including the political relations between the factions (people especially hated Lucciola, the assassin subguild (*cough* Lute was the unofficial secretary *cough*)) and the deities. It was so fun since there was so much to do, and that despite there having a set of abilities, everybody has different variations that read off pretty well! Not to mention the cast was so diverse and it was really cool to see a Crusader get snooty at a Keeper because of their different backgrounds, while a Freelancer steals shit and causes trouble for everyone. 8D

Also Tytus's descriptions makes my brain explode in awe. It died when he and Sobriquet poofed though. *sighs*

#2: Tales :)
*blushus* I'm really glad I got invited to this rp. *blushing intensifies* Hahaha. It's really great and I'm glad how everyone just adapts for the current scene, there's great communication and a cool give-and-take system that's pretty new to me but I think it's pretty amazing :D *runs out of words* It's a real treat to read everyone's posts too, and I love the cast to bits! You're all amazing! I'm looking forward to more times with everyone! ^^

#3: Midnight Train
All the pain and suffering hiding under that fluffy facade. I'm so freaking happy it got this far I just- *breaks down and sobs*- I was so paranoid that it would die because I've been in a lot of great rps that just wither away, but I'm so glad we have such a dedicated cast! I love how they're so pleasant to change things that don't fit with the current plot device, that positive attitude is seriously one way to go to make someone feel motivated about stuff.

... Even if one of them has a character that is now missing a hand. :)

#4: Dream RP (discontinued)
Hmm. If I remember correctly... People connected to a certain incident underwent a phenomena where they enter a different reality when they fall asleep. They assume different personae and specie as well. Too bad it got cut off like a week after the start... I loved the descriptions of the places where the dream personae characters wake up in, and it was amazing since the place was different every time, even changing mid-battle just to shake things up. I think our first battle went from waking up inside a coliseum and then the surroundings shifted and became a swamp? Hydra boss battle!

I also love the character reactions in the real world. Somebody had a crush on my character because he was so thoughtful and reserved and it was funny/ironic since in the dream world he was several inches shorter and... a microphone-toting, star wannabe vampire.

#5: The Fall of Aven
Michi's infamous rp. It's so cool. And stressful. You can choose either to be on the side of the rebels defending the kingdom or the ones conquering it. Oh, the drama and the hype! Every post, you were at 99.9% chance to get smacked by a character from the opposing team, 90% if it's a good day and you're lucky. I think this rp really helped me get more flexible with my posts (not to mention double-check it in case they utilized a blind spot) because people kept trying to kill me, hahahah. So, it was a great experience! In time I think I got used to all the assassination attempts and didn't get that nervous when I read new posts.

I met a few good peeps while playing through this one too.

Favorite OCs

No specific order. I'll just number them to avoid mentioning their names. 8D

#1: Xerxes (Used Durarara!!'s Shizuo as character pic.) <-- I remember this because someone fangirled and shipped their OC with him OTL
He was the head butler in a mansion where everyone was frozen in time. I don't recall much since even the staff wasn't given details about the plot, but there was supposed to be a one day ball where people from outside could come in as guests. He's a strictly formal and cold person, and has a bad reputation to boot since he's basically the newest member of the household. The previous head butler died a day before he arrived and he doesn't talk about that. I... didn't think I did a good job with his character since the girl who was being shipped with him kept chasing after in causing the most inappropriate of situations... He ended up more talkative than I wanted. *sigh* Still, I recognize that he had great potential if only I had more time to play his story out.

#2: Songbird! (Used Minstrel job class model from Ragnarok Online as character pic.)
THUGBIRD IN THE HOUSE! It's always fun to play loose cannons and people who don't take shit from brats! 8D Songbird is so easy to write since our attitudes are very similar, and I always have fun writing as him because there's always something that he finds stupid! Songbird posts are basically me reacting to everything, hahaha.

#3: Victoria Sieghart (*sizzles*)
Victoria was a character for RP #5. She's a totally smokin' babe who knows her cards and deals them well. It was always great to see people underestimating her only to be whooped spectacularly. Unlike my usual play as a holier-than-thou person fighting for good, Vicky's totally on the "bad side" for the money. She also liked stealing from people. I think the trait I adored most about her was her bluntness. It was funny to see her trash a character for making a speech instead of just getting to the fight. She made me change my perspective of what was good and bad (I kept playing for the "nice people" back then) so it was a great experience.

#4: Skye Valtreion (Used Gino from Atelier as the character pic)
Skye just wrote himself, to be honest. My main concept was someone who can fight decently, but was more powerful out of the battlefield. Skye has connections everywhere... His IC interactions were cordial, and the way he spoke was naturally ambiguous. It was so much fun because what the stuff he said was perfectly normal, but there was this dark, subtle meaning to it that just felt off. I've never had a character who was more than capable of treating his 'companions' as pawns and then watch calmly as they fulfilled his commands, and that would've been Skye if Lies held on longer. Still, he has his blind spots... Bits and pieces of angst flying around everywhere just waiting to be revealed to portray the human underneath. I really wish I had the chance to write more as Skye OTL

#5: Lute (Used Logix from Atelier as the character pic)
Hehe.
I love playing as Lute. I'm not sure how you guys see him, but I like how his gray morality works. It's always fun to have a character who seems wimpy but actually packs a lot of conviction! I hope I've been doing okay so far that by now everyone has developed a 'feel' of Lute's persona. ^^

#6: Percy Jackson dude
I forgot his name but I made him for an rp about demigods. The parent deities were pulled from various races, and I like stalked it for days and got offended that nobody wanted to take Lidagat (Philippine/Visayan goddess of the sea) so I made an impromptu decision to join. He's a province boy (I chose Batanes as his homeplace, those are the islands at the very tip of the Philippine archipelago) and it was refreshing to play as him. Probably because everyone's so snooty and he's a pure little babu dragged away from his seashell-gathering life to protect the world and whatnot. So innocent.

It's so long and nonsensical OTL

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

That gif, so perfect for this situation 8DDDD

So the Masked Phantom wanted them to release his companions and then leave the premises? And then he was going to steal the Academy? What….? Lute frowned as he recalled the contents of the transmission. He left the communicator with Rose since she was in the middle of where he and Trixie were, and it would be easier for them to hear updates.

“It sounds like things aren’t going too well with the others,” The virtuoso finally said with a scowl as he eyed their captive. Of course, he was talking about the group where Tobias, from the sound of it, was planning on hurting the thief. All for his damn pride. These aristocrats think they’re so freaking important.

“Kid, zip it,” He glared at Fabian who actually had the nerve to call him stinky. Whose fault was that, you annoying brat?

‘What the fuck!?’

“Huh?” Lute had zero time to react because just as he spun to face the opposite direction a crippling force fell down on his neck. Everything briefly turned black. He limply dropped to his knees, a burning pain searing up from a point on his neck, and he covered the area with his hand as if that could numb the sensations. It didn't. The virtuoso glanced up only to see his assailant had gone, but with that strong a blow to the collar Lute knew he would have difficulty blocking a strong attack. Useless.

"Trixie, watch out! We've got company!" Lute staggered to his feet and switched his sword arm to the left. He blinked, fighting off the shadows approaching at the corners of his eyes. His neck hurt like crazy and falling unconscious was a tempting offer. Wait, what was he talking about!?

Francesca heard everything, and she was far more concerned with the nobleman rather than anything else. He was a loose cannon, an unpredictable element in an equation. It would have been dangerous if he had the barest modicum of skill, but the state of his rapier told enough of his capabilities. She had inspected it earlier and came to the conclusion that this must be its first real use asides from hanging around as décor or, perhaps, being used for halfhearted training sessions.

“What a waste,” She murmured to herself as she twirled the rapier around and then caught it by the handle. She stood up from her seat and stared down at the group of people around the cage, focusing on their different outfits to keep her mind off the suspense. One lady had a scarf made of feathers. Hmm.

Jay seemed to be trying to deal with the Guilders… but would that work? While it had always been a part of Francesca’s attitude to doubt, she sincerely hoped that they would just follow what the Phantom said to save all of them the trouble of fighting with one another. The thief approached the railing to get a better look at what was happening, half-expecting the Phantom himself to burst in through the doors in a wonderful and grand entrance.

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World
