The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Hey guys, I'll have trouble posting consistently (again) because my wonderful, wonderful mother wrecked my computer and the PS3. Just a head's up in case y'all wondering why I won't be online much of the time now, but I'll be using comp rentals so don't worry. ^ w ^ /

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

I can see Songbird listening to that on a bad day, headphones over his ears and glaring judgmentally at all the Nobodies around him. Hopefully tea with Brandu makes everything better :P

He does! He does the really grumpy don't get in my way glare and pouts at everything hahaha. Misanthropy rolled into one fluffy nobody.

Posting!

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

“Hmmhmm, I got them, don’t worry!” Est chimed in as they were escorted inside the equipment room, “ah, the smell of sweat, distrust and broken friendships with a hint of tears. No wonder this place is one of my favorites! Naw, just kidding. The cheese place is still my number one!” The soldier placed his hands on his hips and laughed cheerfully, seemingly oblivious to the deadly sheen of the weapons laid out on the nearby table. That or he was just so used to seeing them that they were really easy to ignore.

Oh wait, they were splitting into teams? Here he thought all of them were going to fight random players. Well, he didn’t really mind since it was fun either way… “Cool, I have Lady Luck with me! I’m sure to win!” Est affectionately patted the merchant’s hand and faced the humans, most of whom were looking around while waiting for either of them to state the rules. When Breeze walked away to help Leila, it was him who gestured to the table and began to explain.

But yeah, Breeze decided it was a good time to wear the armor and demonstrated how to strap it on with him as the model. He didn’t have an issue with that, but he almost nearly twisted in place when she told him to lift a leg. “Yeah, we come here for training and friendly matches! Great way to build camaraderie or rivalries!” Est’s voice was muffled and slightly huffy thanks to the mask that protected his entire head, and he turned towards the group to give them a thumbs up. “Hey, you should be able to move comfortably in the armor, okay? Don’t wear it if it hurts your armpit, trust me. My first day I did that because I was late for drills and didn’t have time to choose another set… I had sores for a week.”

Just then, a couple of other soldiers entered the room.

“Hey Aidan, hey Lizbeth. We are on guide duty. The best guide duty ever! I’m so happy they’re not snooty little worms,” Est waved back at the nobody who wore his trademark red armor and then nodded at his partner. They were pretty good too, and Lizbeth consistently earned places within the top ten during gunnery exams.

“Let's give private Berit and Mrs. Berit a run for their money, yeah?"

“Hella yeah, me and Mrs. Ber-! Wait… Gwaah!” It was amusing to see the tall soldier stagger back and then try to regain his balance. One can only guess at the color of his face underneath the smooth blue helm. “Ohhh, you’re on, Aidan! I’m gonna stomp on you!” Est raised his fist in the air and shook it at the energetic soldier, with the casual drawl in his voice gone and replaced with something far more rushed. “Yes, what he said. Don’t worry, if your health reaches zero, the vest will trigger a protective barrier that will protect you from all hostiles as you make your way out of the arena. Now c’mon, we got a bug to squash!” The soldier let out a semblance of a war cry and rushed after Aidan and Lizbeth.
He returned a few minutes later, apparently having forgotten to pick a gun. Est promptly chose a long, sleek weapon that was obviously meant for long-distance to mid-range firing. “Ei, c’mon! Just pick whose side you’re on and go after me!” He waved at them and ran out of the equipment room, through a wide metallic hallway that no doubt led to the starting stage.

Phillis Circus: Big Top - Pit

Okay, so far, so good. At least that was what Lute believed as he hurtled out of the giant tent, seeing that none of his limbs were in flames. Still, the crazy chick was after him- just as he hoped- but boy oh boy, did she complicate matters. She summoned that strangely apathetic lookalike of hers and next thing the virtuoso knew an oversized towel was being flung at his face. Acting purely out of repulsion and instinct, Lute jumped away from the mysterious cape and the bacteria it held then spun towards the opposite direction. The last thing he saw was that batshit insane girl screaming and lunging at him before they fell to the ground.

Where Lute would have normally tried to calm her down, he opted to keep his mouth shut and pry the magician’s hands away from her face. Her nails were quite sharp and they hurt, not to mention that she really enjoyed yanking his hair by the roots every chance she got. In the end, Sammie’s wrath won over and Lute just covered his face, allowing the girl to torture him as she wished. That was, of course, before Delilah got pissed off.

A loud, ear-splitting shriek erupted from the virtuoso’s fists, disorienting the magician and her twin (?) who was approaching the duo. While the nearby refugees screamed at the commotion Lute took the opportunity to roll away and reclaim ground, the thin trails on his skin almost as red as the flames in the Big Top. “Last warning, sister. Back off. I’m not the enemy here,” He snapped, sidestepping the two until his back was facing the tent’s exit. If they let him go, he’d rush back and help the others.

Not that he expected them to do that, really, and to be honest, he’d been itching for a good brawl for quite some time now.

Phillis Circus: Big Top

“Can you-” swish “-stop-” swish “-oh for the love of all that is holy, STOP!” Lute twisted his body to avoid the fireballs sent his way, but in his position right now it was almost impossible to move away. He had to get out into the aisle! When the girl poised to hurl yet another orb at him, Lute jumped and flat out collapsed on the ground, trying his best to ignore the sizzling sounds coming from the chairs that bore the brunt of the magician’s attacks. One misstep and he wouldn’t just be a walking klutz, he’d be a walking skinless klutz. The thought itself was inspiring in more ways than one.

The virtuoso wriggled out from within the rows of seats and faced the girl. His hands were splayed out in front of him in a non-threatening gesture, even if, let’s face it, she didn’t seem likely to listen to anything he had to say. There wasn’t any harm in trying, though. “Look, I’m not an enemy, okay? We need to get you all out of here now. We’re all going to burn to a crisp if we stay here!” He tried to sound reassuring, but as the flames roared higher so did Lute’s pitch. Crud, was she stepping towards him? The virtuoso skittered back cautiously, but the heel of his foot bumped against a fallen chair. Shit.

Wait, who was he kidding? The gal had a katana pointed at Aria earlier. She definitely wasn’t going to listen to him talk. Still… Maybe there was something he could do…? “Yeah, I’m not going to wait here and get roasted, thank you very much. See ya!” The virtuoso piped up and turned his back on Sammie to run up the aisle. Bad idea, but hopefully she took the bait. He just wanted everyone to go outside where it’s safe and they can all fight to the death there if they so wished. "Dellie, tell me if she's about to attack me, okay!?" He whispered to the familiar and she nodded, then set up a small guard perimeter around him. Everything else would just depend on whether he had crappy reflexes.
