Let's see if I can run one of these strange and wondrous forum RP's after years of instant messaging, eh?

Ah, in that case I suppose I will end up applying! first-come-first-serve isn't my friend- I don't like rushing out profiles xD
Lyna is very glad she still has her cloak. The girl ducks her head down and quickly pulls the cloak tighter about herself, before focusing back on the bat at her head. The red hat, which covered her messy red hair adequately, was especially dear to her- it'd be a shame if the wind and gulls carried it away, eh?
Those snails. They were cool. Layna paused, still holding the red-haired chap's hand, and looked at one of these...snails.
"...That's awesome..." She whispered quietly- and her amusement lasted right on up to a massive crab popping out of an unseen cave and grabbing one of the snails. "...W-Well then..." She sputtered, before moving on a little more quickly than before. She didn't mind the gulls herself, but those crabs were unnerving.
Speaking of the gulls-- that lad just kicked one. Layna's focus was being ripped in all directions at once, and she was having trouble keeping up with events; the boy kicked the gull, the stairs are nearing their top, a girl is being assaulted by the bird, the boy has a rough uniform on, the stairs used to creak, Layna's hands are sweaty, she just got to the top of the stairs, the other girl's hair was sandy blonde-- all this information seemed to be flooding her quite hurriedly as she tried to soak up as much as she could...
Her focus is snapped to a single man before her, even her grip on the boy's hand going forgotten for now. Dark robes, silvery runes, and white hair. The screech, the falcon, the almost unnoticeable accent... 'Crythos'.
Layna breathed in. Layna breathed out. Her focus was settled, and the unecessary information dulled out. It was hard for the girl not to start spazzing out and jumping around. She simply had too much energy- especially in serious situations like this. It's strange how things work out that way.
She looks to the other kids around her and patiently tries to size them up- metaphorically speaking. She's trying to judge who they are, but this was never one of her strong suits as a magician. The ever calm boy, the kindly girl in blue, the rough sailor boy and the timid-looking sandy hair girl, the strange tall lad- 'Raghu' he had said his name was, Layna recalled as the situation caught up in her mind- Elysia, poor gal had slipped and slid...Layna was glad of her boots. She actually released the boy's hand now that they were safely at the top of the stairs and sheepishly stepped away, rubbing her arm a bit embarassedly.
"Sorry, didn't mean to hold ya quite that long..." She said apologetically.
And then the group was moving. Layna waited another moment, looking from Crythos to the tower...
"...I am Nyx Caeli..." She mumbled, a bit of a promise in the words. She nodded then, to nothing in particular, and removed the hat with a flourish, whispering to herself as she did a rather fantastical bow...The cloak even flourished as well from the movement, as if this was a very practiced action...
Just to rise up and place the hat back onto her head firmly, her ever-lopsided smile present once again as she walked, now alone, along behind the vast majority of the group. Seems the girl just bolstered her confidence a tad.

My week's been quite good- school's lightened up considerably. Thanks for asking, chum! Will get up a post today, just give me a bit. Catching up and whatnot~
Oh. Mechanized warfare. Dearie me my steampunk side just fangirled-
My musings aside this is legitimately interesting, Hero. Seems I'm a tad shy of your three+self limit xD I'll be watching though!

Forum: Nation Interest Checks
Oh, this sounds fun. I might have to dig up a bit of research, but I'll definitely cast my lot in.
Other citystates/npc nations would be interesting, i'm a fan of diplomacy myself xD

Oh. Oh dearie, I do enjoy the sound of this one quite a bit xD Color me interested, I'll keep an eye on it :p
Indeed! I enjoyed it while it lasted as well! Feel free to call on me any time.
Oh, huzzah. Activity! xD
Hm. Seems most of you were active whilst I was at school-- if that starts to be an issue on my end I'll warn you guys!

The silence. That eery, cold, silence. The silence of the world holding its breath- only for it all to come rushing back out and giving life to the scene. It was these moments that Layna loved. The breath was held, all was still, then exhaled and the world was pushed into motion. It was a moment worthy of noticing.
The girl with the red hat stood, last to get off the boat, and grinned a horribly lopsided grin. A silly grin, if you will. She was bound in a red cloak, a cloak that was embroidered with black stars. A cloak that kept out the cold. A heavy, thick, cloak. These were the two most noticeable things about the lass; the red hat with the feather, and the heavy red cloak that was far too large for her.
She, good naturedly, waited for everyone to depart before she did, and was rather glad of the results; she emerged from the ferryman's boat, found this wondrous scene displayed before her, and even got a good laugh out of it in the form of a seagull startling a lordling! She giggled, despite feeling that she really shouldn't. It wasn't nice, the boy was just surprised it all...
Oh, wow. Two of the boys were already taking a tumble it would seem- one of them had collapsed after emerging from the boat. She felt more sympathetic for both of them than she probably should- but they were in a new place and she would try and feel for these other people as much as she could. The other kid seemed to almost go in for another dip in the sea though, so...
She dashes over and catches the lad before he goes tumbling into the ocean- or, at least, puts herself in his path and tries not to go toppling in herself. Well, you get the idea. She just tries to make sure he's okay, is all.
"It's alright, chum." She said with her crooked grin. "I'd have already been halfway back home if that'd been me!" She laughed at herself and generally tried to be cheery, not wanting anyone to get picked on or left out -already-.
By the time she turned back to what was going on, the precession of children had already taken a turn for the progressive; They were starting to head on up the stairs! birds or no birds, Layna supposed, they were going to end up at the top. Either way, the girl was bound to not get left behind- she suddenly had back all the energy she'd lost over the trip.
...the girl off to the side did escape her notice, though. She was too caught up in the commotion of the seagulls.
So, taking the boy's hand, she began to lead him after the rest of the group, up the stairs. She wasn't going to leave him behind nor attempt to stand out too much from the rest of the children- not yet, at least. If the cloak and hat- which she is firmly holding to her head with the other hand- don't set her apart much yet, they are bound to in the end.
There was this calm chap up front. Those gulls were being very persuasive, Layna thought, and yet he just kept on trudging along. She didn't know how to feel about that, but she felt a tad calmer just looking at him herself. Then there was the girl with the blue jacket; she just seemed much cheerier than the rest, and Layna could appreciate that. She herself always tried to keep a smile on people's faces, after all.
The boy following them didn't stand out much to Layna, but being third in line is never interesting. She made a mental note to get to know all of these people better. Every single one of them. They came across in the same boat, and that was enough for Layna to consider them tied together in some way.
The girl who used magic made Layna uncomfortable, but that's what she was here to do- learn magic. Her trick of tossing the crayfish away made things easier for those following her, as well...but Layna'd hate to be the gal if the seagulls started associating her with food!
"...I'm quite excited, you know..." She said to the lad she pulled along. "I mean, I never thought I'd be a wizard myself." She giggled, still holding the hat firmly down- trying to distract her cohort from the seagulls...to no avail, most likely, but she did have a certain skill with words that seemed to draw one in if they listen closely.
She didn't pay too much attention to the others. She'd have time to learn who they were when they reached the top, or later on if they were still together- but for now, this red haired boy in the finery was her focus. She felt a pang of guilt though; what if he didn't want to be pulled along by her?...It was too awkward now to let go, though, lest he fall again...
