Let No Man Put Asunder

"W-Was she like this when you arrived?"
Yang Bethlehem


"Oh, no. The old woman ran up to us, accusing me of stealing her beloved and calling me 'Helen'. That's not even my name!" The knight bluntly answered. "The age must've gotten to her head. Or maybe she's got that 'mind sickness' some mages and scholars are talking about nowadays." She sighed. "Anyway, we had to put her down. She was raving and crazy and wasn't backing down no matter how much we told her off."

"Bottom line, we had to put her out of her misery. One clean sword thrust on her chest." The knight summarized with a nonchalant tone. "Do you know her by the way? Seems like you know her."

Then one of the other knights walked up to the female knight and whispered something. "Yeah, yeah, I know two of 'em are monsters and one of them's a known criminal but this has been a rough and long day. I'd rather take it easy for now and not get into any more trouble." She told her subordinate.

The old woman's story has come to an end but will the guild members be alright with leaving it at that?

The leader rolled out of the way out of Titanica's breath, having anticipated it. Instead, Titanica's beam blew open the front doors of the guild which should probably be addressed once all of this was over.

Titanica and Magnus was joined by Ditzy and Eilidh in fighting the attackers. Being monsters and not outnumbered, the guild members overcame anything the knife-wielding attackers threw at them. However, the attacker leader was more competent, able to hold off Eilidh and Magnus and even dance around Titanica though he never came close to actually beating any of them.

"They have two Dragons! Two Dragons! We've got to get out of here!"

That yell from the attackers that went inside the guild was the last straw for the intruders. Realizing that they were fighting dangerous monsters and the prospect that there were more inside, the bruised and bloodied attackers quickly took off with some even dropping their weapons.

"Dammit! Don't run!" The leader tried to rally his men to no avail.

A musketeer took aim at Eilidh for one last, spiteful attack but a certain Siren landed on him before he could shoot. "You owe me, Centaur." Haley smirked at Eilidh but the smirk was wiped off when she was grabbed by the intruder leader who then put himself behind her.

Placing a pistol at her head, the intruder leader screamed. "Get back! Get back, you monsters! Or this Harpy gets it!"

Now the Guild had a hostage situation on their hands. They must be careful about this lest they lose a member.

~@13org (BST & FYR), @The Irish Tree (NEP)~

"I can't see anything!"

The attackers were all lost within Nephele's fog and were therefore unable to continue whatever malicious objective they have in the guild. However, the front doors suddenly exploded in a burst of blue flame which blew the attackers down from the shockwave and made everyone cover from the dust and smoke for a brief while as well as dissipating some of Nephele's fog.

"Bast! Nephele! Are you alright?!" Bart coughed from the smoke. "What just ha--" The guild master suddenly paused when he saw that he was in the sights of the remaining musketeer, his companions still incapacitated on the floor. Neither Bast nor Nephele were fast enough to close the distance and stop the inevitable shot.

"Watch out!" Talia yelled. The shot was made but instead of hitting Bart, it hit Talia instead on her shoulder, having rushed to take the bullet meant for Bart. The Cyclops recoiled, a hand immediately clutching her shoulder, but still remained standing in defiance.

"They've got two Dragons! Let's get the hell out of here!"

The remaining attackers recovered and they, along with the musketeer, hastily left via the newly-created hole in front of the guild headquarters. Just like that, the intruders were repulsed just by the presence of two mighty monsters. Unfortunately, not without doing a bit of damage first.

"Ah, gods..." Talia sank to her knees as she clutched her bleeding shoulder, teeth gritted. "Gods damn it..."
I'm really not feeling the current arcs. If it were possible to basically drop out and come back in the next IC day, I'd honestly do that.


There must be some black magic going on here since I never saw this post until now.

Anyway, if you're really not feeling it, I guess you can do that. I'll just tag you once the next day arrives although the next day may not be activity-heavy as it will be sort-of a break day.

I'll tag you in this update since your characters' actions will have impact (since you've already posted) but you're free not to post until the next day.
Eddie Cage


"Anything you want to know about, or see, just ask."
Ater


Eddie nodded with a smile that his request was indulged. "Cool! It's a date then!"

The former actor and the white-haired cat demon took off for the Gray Village. "Say, we haven't introduced ourselves to each other yet, have we?" Eddie began. "Here, let me start. I'm Patrick Edward Culiar. Famous actor. Oscar Award winner. Martial arts icon alongside the likes of Chakie Jan and Luce Bree." He told the cat demon some details about himself. "Also an accomplished mage. That part's a longer story. Gonna have to sit down for that one."

"Okay, now it's your turn." Eddie passed the spotlight onto the Demon. "You also look like the other one back there. You two sisters or something?" He asked. "Also, I heard these kinds of worlds usually have a... a God and a Devil that governs the Angels and Demons respectively. You know 'em?"

"Oh yeah! There's that Witch from earlier too. She seems to know this world? Do you know her?"



Dorma


"M-me? O-of course not... You know I get stage fright... But... I do know that the performer will be coming from the Sea... Honestly though, that's all I know... I've just been busy fixing up the stage..."
Macarona


"Oooh..." Dorma wondered who this guest performer from the Sea will be. A mermaid perhaps? Or maybe a fish creature? The Demon had heard of a girl from the sea who was good at playing the ocarina and the piano. Perhaps it would be that girl then? "I shall look forward to her performance then." She remarked.

After finishing her last task, Dorma wondered if Yosafire and Froze would be done collecting apples and back at the village at Dialo's pie stand. There would be a chance that Froze would be away from Yosafire since they've completed their task. The chance was low sure but it was a chance anyway and Dorma took it. "Hey Macarona, I'm going to take a look at Dialo's pies. I'm sure you and Aurelia will be fine here. Bye!"

------

Back at the village, Dorma made her way to Dialo's stand. On the way, her eyes caught wind of a girl, a Witch from the looks of it, and a tall animal-like boy. The witch had her head resting on the boy's shoulder and it was just the loveliest thing Dorma saw ever. "Haaaa...." The Demon could only imagine her head being on Yosafire's lap and thus, Dorma spaced out all the while staring at Vanilla and Zeal.
Never thought I'd see Granblue Fantasy here. Don't really know the setting but it's practically everywhere.

Have my interest anyway but since I'm handling other RPs, I cannot be sure I'll actually join.
@Lmpkio

After much communion with the voices in my head:

Is there a limit on Titanica's Atomic Breath? If there isn't, I'd like you to put one in like "drains a lot of energy so it can only be used once per battle" or just a nerf in terms of power. Just so she doesn't one-shot everybody.
@Darkmoon Angel

Happy 4th of July to you too!

I'll try to get a post up soon.
Thanks for your input guys.

Anyway, here's an update!
Seraph Academy

Practice Halls


~~~ @AzureKnight (LIS) ~~~


Zev'jul stepped to the side to evade your shockwave attack. "Ayav dya bitis!" He chanted his spell, flame-colored magic formed on his arms and he stretched them out to launch a sizable fireball at you.

It was not very fast so it was easily evaded or reflected but Zev'jul closed the distance in the meantime and started close quarter combat with you. The fighting was quick, you manage to evade and block his first moves but your opponent opened you up with an elbow to the rib which was followed with a backhand to the face and then a solid kick that sent you some feet away.

'Ohhh...' The crowd gasped.

Magic formed in his arms again and then he made a rising motion with them. A moment later, you felt the floor you stood on become hotter and hotter. It was time to get out of there and launch a counterattack.

~~~ @AzureKnight (HIS) ~~~


Your card proved to superior to Primera's arrow but the latter was not deterred nor startled. Yet, there was a look of surprise on her face when your elastic spell hit her on the leg. She was in your grasp.

Primera was sent to the floor by your pull but she was not going down without a fight. As she was pulled, the Wood Elf pulled more arrows from her quiver and fired them at you in an attempt to derail your battle plans somewhat.



"Well, quite the cheer sir stuffs-his-face, I hope that big armor of yours isn't just for show...so try not to loose too badly, hmm?"
Seleth Thenri


The knight laughed heartily. "Is that how Dark Elves are nowadays?" He replied. "Are their usual calm and polite demeanors a thing of the past?"

Your fat opponent did not move as you charged him, merely bringing his axe back to his shoulders. But once you got close, the fat knight raised his right foot and brought it down with heavy force.

*SLAM*

The floor shook violently for a brief moment. You may be prepared to dodge but there was no evading that little move. You lost your footing and stumbled into the floor on your back.

The first thing you saw when you opened your eyes was Sir Eats-A-Lot, ready to bring his large axe unto you.

Fortunately, you were collected enough to move out of there and perhaps form a counterattack.

~~~ @Polaris North (RVL) ~~~


The two of you stared down at each other as you cast your blessing spells on yourself. But after a few more steps, Galmore suddenly zipped across the field, surrounded with dark green energy, and hit you with his entire body, knocking you to the ground.

Galmore towered over you with one foot raised. Everyone in the hall knew he was going to bring it down your face and everyone knew you needed to get out of there if the fight was to continue.



"Whoa!" Ecthel bended his body downwards to evade your lupine fireball and giving you enough to get close and personal with the student.

But Ecthel rose with an arrow nocked on his bow, aimed at your face and ready to be shot in a moment's notice. You barely moved your head out of the way as the arrow whizzed past you. Ecthel continued shooting arrows at you, his speed at pulling and nocking arrows almost a blur.

Still, you were at your desired distance from him and he made no effort to change it. Though, that might also mean that he was ready for any close quarter combat.



Hellia blocked your thrown knife with a quick shift of her halberd. She was about to make one big swing at you but you moved out and so she did not follow through.

What followed though was she roared. A roar so loud and powerful, it stunned you for a brief moment. Being unable to react, a heavy swing from the broad side of the halberd sent you flying to the wall. Instead of hitting the wall though, you hit some sort of invisible barrier that glowed once you crashed into it. It was the magical barrier that protected the audience from anything dangerous from the fight.

But now was not the time to ponder about that, Hellia leaped to the air with her halberd on high, aiming for a heavy vertical strike against you. You were in a position not shone by light, you can use that to your advantage.

~~~ @Frozen0Titan (KAZ) ~~~


The left Tozen was startled at your lightning-fast transfer of position but he was undeterred. This Tozen swung his first swings at you, they were not very fast but they had quite the force on them. It was likely they were just attacks meant to measure and gauge you. Expect that he would have something up his sleeve should you decide to counterattack.

Meanwhile, the middle Tozen blocked Maldur before the tiger could reunite with his master. Tozen also begun swinging with his blade but these were faster and meant to actually hurt the animal. Or perhaps provoke a sort of response for him to take advantage of. Perhaps both?

The right Tozen had begun moving towards the left one, planning to overwhelm you with combined combat prowess.



"Cute." Rielle remarked at your spell and began hurling projectiles at you. Green-flaming skulls and magical explosions but you knew these were coming. You dodged Rielle's attacks and closed the distance on her successfully.

Now that combat became close quarters, green-colored magic appeared in Rielle's right hand which formed into a jade-colored scimitar. You could see that Rielle was not at all amused that you managed to slip through her earlier onslaught though you notice that she was not moving away from the magic circle that she created.

She twirled her blade and prepared to do battle with you but you still didn't know what that circle did or will do.

Meeting Room


~~~ @Frozen0Titan (TIB), @Polaris North (FAY), @AzureKnight (ENI) ~~~


"To what or who are these allegations directed towards Professor Athos? Is there any form of time frame from when the Arcknights first voice their suspicions to now?"
Tibrus Heatherman


"I would also like to question these Arcknights. Surely, for them to have suspicions, there are people they actually suspect of doing so. Or at least some clues."
Faye Nisval


"I can think of one person who fits the bill perfectly... One of the competitors in your tournament happens to be a professional thief and a sociopathic killer. And she was able to lie and sneak her way in without a hitch."
Enishi Fuyu


"I'm... afraid it is not your target, Mister Fuyu. Though perhaps she might be a potential accomplice in this matter judging from your description." Athos replied. "Most of the Arcknights all point their fingers at one suspect: The Caldeyrons." The court mage revealed. "If you are not up to speed, the Caldeyrons was once a minor house but rose through the ranks over the years. They may be polite and courteous, kind even, but they never stopped yearning for more. Never content in being where they are." Athos followed it with one last remark. "While that may sound admirable, that means that they do not like losing and will do anything to prevent it. If they do lose, someone must be blamed."

"Anyway, we do not have any substantive evidence that the Caldeyrons are up to something or if they are actually up to something at all." Athos continued. "That is why we are called here to properly investigate this matter. Anyone else like the Arcknights would attract attention and alert the conspirators if there are any."

"If we have no more questions, I'd like to share with you the leads I have found." Athos waved his hand in the table formed a magical cloud that took the shape of Zauberheim. "Firstly, there is a warehouse over here..." He pointed to the town adjacent to the Eastern Gates. "...that sounds suspicious from the reports. Officially, they are a storage of food and other goods but some locals report they could feel magical energies coming from it. One Arcknight has confirmed this."

"Then we have this gentleman." Athos waved his hand again and the cloud formed into a shape of a sharp-dressed man with slightly darker skin with combed black hair and refined posture. "This is Sir Juan de la Cruz. A noble here but lately he has been gathering inordinate sums of money which disappears with no recorded transactions." He introduced the suspect. "We are talking about an extraordinary amount of money here. Almost enough to buy anything in Zauberheim save the capital itself."

"And yes, Miss Nisval. You are allowed to go to the tournament grounds though I am curious as to what you intend to do there." Athos addressed Faye. "Oh and, Sir Fuyu. We do not mind paying extra but I am interested in how you will go with dealing with your particular matter now that she is in the tournament."
Remember when I said I'd get an update out today? Yeah I know, that was hilarious. But I'm working on it though! It's about 58% done and I'll try to get it out someday this week.

In the meantime, let me ask you guys a question. Who would you like you to fight in the next round of matches?
I'll try to get something up tomorrow-ish.
