Huh, I see. He certainly looks older to me but I guess my sense of age is off.

Got ninja'd by @ERode. I'll edit my post real quick.

The Journey Begins

~ Unknown Location ~

Interacted with: @ERode, @Pyromania99,@Guy0fV4lor

At first, Nick was glad to be out of that courtyard. It was weird heading back down to the dungeon-prison-whatever but they were in danger up there so down they went. Unfortunately, the demon pup led them to a group of three of those wretched experiment monsters. One of them was armed too! A poor sword like the one from earlier, but still armed! Yeah, they really should've seen this coming.

But then Nick witnessed something extraordinary, Augusta put her palm out and a small blue orb formed in front of it. She could do magic?! The blue ball of magic then shot out, hitting the creature with the blade right in the chest. "Wha?! How the hell did you do that?!" It was one thing to be able to manipulate the weird stone's unseen energies but now she can cast actual magic? Why can't he do any of that, Nick lamented.

The creature was dazed and that allowed Isidore and the demon dog, now named 'Octavia', to do their work. The former sliced the wretched creature's limb to disarm it from its weapon. He slid it right to Nick, presumably so he could use it to join the fight. Nick reflexively picked it up, but was he really going to have at it? He has not been in a fight before, much less against strange creatures that did not exist back home. Sure they were weak according to Augusta, but how weak was 'weak'?

Octavia dealt with the second creature, evading claw swipes with awesome agility. The demon canine was also intelligent, it bit onto the wretched experiment's leg first to force it down before going for the throat. A predator in the making, Octavia was. That left only one more wretched experiment, and that one was about to lunge at Isidore who had no time to react.

Suddenly, a stranger appeared. A middle-aged man with a shield charged forth and crashed into the wretched experiment, pinning it against the wall. Isidore was quick to dispatch the creature with a single ram of his blade into its neck.

The fight was over and Nick let out a sigh of relief. Octavia had ran off deeper into the complex but they had an ally present that required attention.

After Isidore introduced himself and some other words before following the demon dog, Nick was the next to approach the stranger. "Nick. Thanks for stopping by. You come here often?" He introduced himself with a joke. "Listen, the guy's right. Wherever we're heading, it's pretty dangerous. Nice shield, by the way. How come everyone here gets cool powers while I get anxiety attacks?"

Hey there @Rune_Alchemist, I suddenly got a job so I'll be really slow on my posts.

Real sorry about that.

The Things We Do For Love
~@Restalaan (YNG), @13org (ADA)~

Yang and Ada went to the entrance of the port with almost lightning speed. In mere moments, they were at their destination.

What they found there was a readied wagon filled with various items alongside a bound and gagged Nero who began squirming to get your attention, presumably asking for help. Surrounding the wagon were four Kikimoras, all of whom looked exactly alike making it nigh impossible which one of them participated in the cooking contest.

They all noticed the arrival of the two girls and they all dropped what they were doing to greet the newcomers. "Hmm, it seems I have been caught." One of the Kikimoras uttered.

"I loathe violence, but I fear I may have no choice." Another said, taking a bundle of arnis sticks from the wagon and distributed them to the other Kikimoras, tossing two sticks for each of them.

"This attempt may be farfetched but..." Yet another Kikimora said, catching two sticks with one hand. "May you please leave and never speak of this to anyone? No need for a fight to occur here." She politely asked Yang and Ada.

~@13org (FYR), @Stern Algorithm~

Freyr would go to the cooking contest and find Neil along with the Altissima sisters there. "Ah, Freyr! Someone's been kidnapped and Talia said it was a Kikimora." The Viera would be reminded of the Kikimora who competed in the archery contest. "Yang and Ada went to the town entrance to see if they intercept them. Kira went to get you and the others, I guess she already told you, huh? Anyway, me, Sylvia and Vivian will alert the local authorities."

"Hey, Freyr. You're all red, dude. What's up?" Neil asked, noticing Freyr's flushed face.

As soon as Neil asked though, Haley would come land near them. She was also flushed and blushing like Freyr but then did something that could make it worse. The Siren planted a tender, long kiss on the Viera's lips. Neil, and possibly the Altissima sisters, was dumbfounded. "Now we can talk about this later." Sbe gave him a seductive wink. "Alright then, what's with the kidnapping."

Neil was still in shock to answer when a panting Sir Reed arrived. "Hey all, I heard there's trouble. What's up?"

~@ShwiggityShwah, @Rezod92, @Restalaan (DIT)~

"Also, did Ozzy see the rest of the guild? Ditzy wanted to see Freyr beat the arrow competition. Freyr shot an apple that someone was holding on their chest before without injuring him, so Freyr definitely should be the best!"

Ditzy Stoneclub

"Fraid not. We just finished here. I was going to find them afterwards, but I promised her to show her around. I'm sure Freyr won. The others too. I guess I still have alot to learn. We'll meet up later Ditzy."

Ozzy Skyway

"By the gods, another male monster?" Margaret gazed at Ditzy, immediately figuring out what he was. "Sir Skyway! You didn't tell me that you had other male monsters in your midst! Just what other secrets are you hiding?" She demanded from Ozzy. "Are there other male monsters I should know about?"

"Errr, am I interrupting something? You know what, on second thought, that's not important right now. One of the contestants of the cooking contest has been kidnapped!"

Kira Gigas

"Oh, dear." The news was shocking, to Margaret at least. "Should we... should we tell someone about this? Like Miss Riñas?"

Riventor

~@Rune_Alchemist~

"Mayor Uma I take it, Eh? Zasada from the Haynek institute. Apologies for the sudden intrusion but my team and I seem to find ourselves crashed and somewhat stranded and in need of a bit of information. I volunteered myself to speak with you on my teams behalf."

Zasada

"Haynek Institute? Ohhh! Yes, yes, we've been expecting you!" Mayor Uma lit up as she remembered. "I received a missive from your organization that several teams would be coming for a research expedition. Welcome, welcome!" The Kuranta woman grabbed your hands to shake. "And you crash landed? What? How? Are you alright? Are you the sole survivor?"

"It's the forest, Mayor. It got to them." The Archosaur answered. "And there's more of 'em. Mostly unharmed, they're just... you know."

Mayor Uma understood what he meant and her face grimmed. "I see. Well, let me know how I can help you and your team. Anyway, welcome to Riventor! It's not much, but it's home." She finished. "Umm, where will you be staying if I may ask?"

North Riventor

~@Lunarlord34, @LiverisGood~

"I agree with Iby-chan, this could be big yeah? I'm not an expert on oripathy or anything...but surely something that has these kind of affects has that potential yeah to be useful yeah? Even if it itself doesn't prove to be involved in the cure, maybe it could help lead to something to help treat Infected? I mean..regardless this is a big discovery!"

Will-O-Wisp

"Well, if you put it that way..." Wu replied.

"Ah! Wisp, wait! Be careful!" Wu and Ibon sprinted after Will-O-Wisp towards the two houses in the northern outskirts of Riventor. They soon got to the house that reeked of chickens only to find two people there knocking on its front door.

Meanwhile, Medivac had knocked on the house's door with Radiant carrying the mad woman clutching a key. The door was unanswered when a Vulpo girl arrived and met them. "Wisp, hold on! We shouldn't separate!" A male Feline with a shield followed after her alongside a Liberi girl.

"Ah, sorry about this, Mister and Miss. We're just..." Wu was about to apologize to Radiant and Medivac when he realized they didn't exactly look like the locals. In fact, they were familiar to him. "Wait a second, you're Haynek Institure Operators. Yeah, you're part of the research operation." He smile was wide. "Thank goodness, there are more survivors. Err, who's that girl you're carrying?"

"...W-Where's Dragonheart?" Ibon said as she searched around for the Operator. Indeed, it appeared that Will-O-Wisp's landing partner was suddenly missing.

"Damn it! Damn it! DAMN IT! Not again!" Wu furiously kicked some dirt. "This is why we shouldn't separate!"

Swamp

~@Tojin, @Travesty~

The two Operators stayed put for the moment. The ripples in the swamp's waters increased. The things that lurked underwater were converging on the duo. When they were at the water's edge, they all stopped.

*WHOOSH*

A large black monstrosity leapt out of the water and hurled itself unto Scathach. Fortunately, the Operator was quick and she managed to evade it. The creature landed back into and under the swampy water. It was but a glimpse but the two Operators definitely saw that the creature was reptilian with scaly claws and tail. It was no crocodile or alligator though, it looked more like a black-green lizard or salamander. Scathach certainly saw the rows of jagged teeth when it attempted to take a bite out of her.

But most of all, the swamp creature's limbs and body shape wasn't that of a typical reptilian. Instead, it looked humanoid. Regradless, the swamp was full of them and they appear to think that the two Operators were meals. Scathach and Cardinal should probably vacate the area soon.
