The Midnight Train to Nowhere

The weird boy with the wavy hair actually called her a fatso! The nerve! Well, so did Luke, but hey! Gary bared her teeth and twirled her pole up, then brought it down first on Toby’s head and then on her comrade’s. She ignored the red-haired girl; her attention by then was now spent on the audacity of these boys to actually call her ‘chubby’. The two of ‘em deserved that whack! Well, they weren’t going to have a concussion but that should sting for a while. Ignoring the fact that one of the other humans already nabbed a cookie off her, the girl pushed the plate into Toby’s hands with a snarl. “Shove it all down your pie hole, then!” She snapped halfheartedly and crossed her arms over her chest with a huff. After a moment she cast her bright green gaze on the boy, and then grumbled in a low volume that only Toby could have heard, “Sorry. It’s a reflex.”

Numair had advanced to the front of the group so that he could keep Gary from hitting other people. “Sorry ‘bout that, she’s got a temper,” He smiled tersely at the boy whom their “pink-haired hobbit” attacked but shook his head at Luke, “you kinda deserved that though. You know she hates it when we mention her weight.” The surfer sighed and ran his hand through his bleached white hair, his gaze running over what few of the humans he knew.

Nympha wasn’t getting out of this easily, no no. The nerve of that witch, hiding behind her best friend! “Oi, if you think I don’t know you got a big fat crush on my Sacchin, you’re wrong! Paws off, greasy! He gots someone hot! Like sun hot! I bet if you met that person you’d melt like butter on a hot summer day!” Gary jeered towards the nobody’s direction, glaring at whatever snatches of Nympha she could see from behind Sacha’s figure. However, like how she dealt with Toby earlier, Gary didn’t seem to have any real ‘heat’ to her words and held her ground beside Numair.

Anyway, Mr. Cuddles himself even walked out of the hole and started up a conversation with the humans. It ended pretty badly though, with the poor bear looking really down when his hug got rejected. “He-ey now, why the long face, Mr. Cuddles?” Numair interjected quickly as he skidded in front of Inadi in order to put some distance between the baker and his previous assistant. Great, things were about to get ugly. The human took the tray of cupcakes from Mr. Cuddles, handed it off to Sacha, and then proceeded to give poor Mr. Cuddles a well-deserved (and slightly awkward) hug. “T-there you go! Free hugs for everyone! Just tell me if you need more hugs, okay!?” Numair laughed and was promptly pushed away by Gary. C had walked out and it was now time for everyone to take their seats.

Of couuurse, the humans just couldn’t shut up and enjoy the food!

Some of them launched into questions right away, and when it was clear that none of the nobodies were going to answer (and neither were the Hooded Figures, seeing that Gary and Luke were already eating), Numair stood up and planted his hands on the table. As if people already had trouble noticing him, the tall and handsome human drew more attention to himself with this action… while the sounds of chewing, courtesy of Luke and Gary, filled the air.

" You yourself have tried to kill one of us. And short stuff over there is pole crazy. How are we suppose to believe you won't try to kill us and steal all our things...like how you stole our other stuff."

“We’re talking about the cave, goop-in-my-face incident, right? They didn’t really succeed, you know, in the killing thing. Mainly because that wasn’t what they were trying to do...? C and the others just wanted the Living List. None of you wanted to give it to them. Shit happened. Grudges. Gary hitting some philosophy-blithering dude with her pole. Sacha getting drunk on cave moss. Graaah. To be fair, one of you did try to behead one of us. She actually drew blood too. I’d say we’re quits,” Numair replied in a light and humorous tone, nodding towards Sacha as if to emphasize his point. The surfer straightened up and sat down, crossing one leg over the other as he retained eye contact with whoever looked at him. “And we- er, they- already stole your stuff, so we can’t argue about that now, can we?” He added in an even gentler tone of voice.

"Well, first of all, can you clarify what exactly you're trying to invite us to? What is the purpose of this little clan of yours anyway?"

“She doesn’t have a clan back home? Why doesn’t she know?” Gary interrupted after raising her hand.

Numair suppressed a nervous smile and gestured at the girl to calm down. She was getting hyperactive again. With a meaningful glance aimed at Sacha to make sure the pink-haired hobbit doesn’t ingest too much sugar, the surfer glanced at the girl who gave out that question and answered her, “Well, C already said it. We want you to join this merry band of misfits. Literally. We’re basically the weird people in this weird world. Um.” He paused and blushed. Explaining was never his good suit. “We’re trying to get the items in the List so we can get home. That's the top priority,” The surfer concluded softly.

SUSPENSE!

Cuttersbury: Trail towards Drych Lake

‘I knew you were a klutz, but that had to be the fruitcake!’ Delilah screamed as Lute flopped down to the ground for the fifth time within ten minutes. If the virtuoso could speak, he would’ve retorted something along the lines of not knowing that the Big Bro Varren was capable of ballerina twirls, but he was far too buried in earth and goop to even move a muscle. Next time, he’ll leave the heroics to Moira.

The earth trembled again as Lute tried to wiggle his way out of the sticky concoction, which was starting to look more and more like a patch of swamp on a bad day as it absorbed the tumbling gravel and various other falling debris. Thankfully Amy came over to help and she even cast a heal over him while she was at it, and Lute resurfaced from the horror with a red face, a bleeding nose and a very bruised ego. Asides from that, everything was perfect. “Thank you,” The virtuoso sputtered out and he wiped the remaining grime off of his face. The cleric’s magic was already smoothing away the pain wracking his head, though the Big Bro Varren stomping everywhere like that was bound to hurt him in other places.

Speaking of… “Hey, miss Amy. Thanks for the heal, but I got to help the others now!” Lute turned to the woman and nodded at her in thanks before running after Trixie. Though his head pounded with the exertion of a wasted attack and a pissed off familiar, the virtuoso unfurled his fingers from his palm and gathered the nearest sounds that he could. “Oi, stink snout!” The prankster was obviously having a hard time keeping the creature after her all the time so Lute took the heat for her. The varren whirled away from the girl and tilted his head towards the source of the annoying, whiny (yet surprisingly loud) voice; a white-haired human jumping up and down while waving its arms about like a headless chicken. The varren snorted and was about to ignore Lute’s senseless actions if only he hadn’t heard the virtuoso say one damning thing…

“Your fashion sense sucks! Major sucks! Like totes! My goat Quentin knows better, and he doesn’t even wear anything!”

Oh, things just got serious. Or serious-er.

Lute laughed weakly as the Big Bro shimmied around in a funky manner before bolting towards him. “Time to do what I do best!” He joked and then ran to the side.

Posted! Numair is currently acting as the middleman for both groups. Don't bully him too much, please. :(

For the new players, in case you missed my first reminder: Numair is a human who got lost on the SSF mission. He fell overboard and supposedly died. Only a scant few in the current group know him, and they barely even know his name.

And Gary isn't chubby she actually has a very pretty figure haha.

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Hi guys! You know how I said I rent computers so I could poooost? Yeah well, the rentals near the school lost their internet for a coupla days (dunno why) so I had to skip rounds. But now I'm back! Really sorry for the absences ugh uvu

Posted! Tell me if there's issues okay? By the way Cae, Lute has a goat named Quentin, so he's not referring to Q.T. hahaha 8D

Oh and I'm all up for moving sites, just tell me when we go do it because yeah.

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Yep, Cemetery day = Halloween. I just forgot what to call it hahaha. Ironic that people immediately bust out the party day when they return from the cemeteries. Everyone in the neighborhood is having a karaoke rave. ._.

Edit: Uhhh I won't be able to post. Apparently my grandpARENTS ARE THROWING A PARTY TOO OMFG so yeah I'm gonna go hahaha OTL

Cuttersbury – Trail towards Drych Lake

"So.. err... we've got more company..."

“Wonderful. It’s like a party!” Lute quipped as the other Guilder warned him. He stepped back and brandished his sword once again, waiting for the varren to lunge at them. Like what he did earlier, the virtuoso shifted to a loose stance with his blade at the ready in the same way someone playing baseball would look. Jett withdrew his weapon too, and to be honest Lute expected something flashy and magical. The newbie didn’t disappoint by showing off a bright scarlet… yo-yo? Ohhhhhh… kay? Whatever swings your boat, I guess? It was unusual, but maybe a bit impractical concerning their current situation? Ah, whatever.

“A party where drunk guests show up uninvited and wearing nothing but their smallclothes, that is,” he added as the little beastie jumped up in the air, its vulnerable belly exposed as it extended its claws to rake at his face. Lute drove the pommel of his sword into the creature’s stomach and it fell down with a comical squeal, landing flat on the ground with its spikes stuck through the soil. It seemed pretty upset… But hey, anybody would be upset if you slapped them on the tummy. However, the virtuoso wasn’t fast enough to avoid getting hit by another flying varren. Poor Lute was bowled a few steps back, tripping backwards over Jett, and he ended up falling on his butt as more of the creatures appeared from underground.

“Whatever you were about to do with that yo-yo, do it now!” Lute screeched as two new attackers pounced upon him and began slashing. With his sword held out in front of him, his face was safe from gashes and wounds (at least for now) but he still needed some time to get up to his feet.

MUG, you might wanna edit a few things. Everyone's still out in the wilderness right now, though the HF's house door is behind Luke, Sacha, Gary and (nearest) Numair.

btw MUG the stuff below isn't about you I just decided to bring this up now

---

Drama.

AGAIN, if people want to enter the hobbit home, message me or Kathi with regards to descriptions.

Maybe it's because I don't post much in the OOC, but people tend to ignore both my IC/OOC stuff? It's one of the main factors why I've come to loathe feel 'meh' about posting for this rp, because I read all of your stuff and try to incorporate mine with everyone else's (I do try to include everyone in my post ok) but I go read and there's 0 mention of Songbird tripping over a rock/Est being a boo boo over machinery/Gary or Numair appearing or whatever idk. Really demotivating.

Not saying it's anybody's problem, but I wanted to voice my opinion now to stop from being a passive-aggressive bitch later because I'm halfway there.

But yeah, I gueessss it's my fault. I'm going to post a LOT more often now.

Drama aside, thanks for being creative peeps and for sticking with Michi's rp for so long! That's it. Yeah.

If you need to ask me shit about Gary/Numair, send me something on Skype. And when I say that, I literally mean do it.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

TOBY'S GONNA GET WHACKED. Just saying :DDDD

If anyone takes the initiative to walk inside the house, message me or Kathi so we can tell you stuff about the interior. Or Michi, if y'all planning to do that when she comes back.

Edit: Tiny tidbit for our new players. That Numair guy's a human, he kinda disappeared during the second mission. Everyone thought he ded or something.

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

One more trick or treater and Imma stab a birch. ._.

Poooosting! Sorry for skipping yesterday, it was pre-Cemetery day and all of the stores were closed. Probably because the owners were traveling to their family graves or whatever idk?
