Chronicles of a Lost War

"I dare say it feels just as comfortable as the old one. Certainly, the stiffness has reduced considerably," Efander answered, musing. How odd that she felt so comfortable despite the major changes and their coming from what felt like one moment to the next, "It may be that regulating mana flows unconsciously has the same effect as exercising muscles would normally do so; or perhaps allowing her Divinity's essence in for so long had an effect.

"Perhaps at a later date I may find time to write a memoir and consider the effects of regular contact with advanced energies on the nature of the soul but for now, we have quite more pressing concerns. For instance, did I size my clothing correctly?" she wondered, turning around to give Aerarius a better look, "And..."

This time, the gold eyes were meeting the robot's gaze, "Did anyone on the way down note that this forest must have taken centuries to grow?"

Double post, but I have a deadline right now, so I won't be able to post until the weekend. Though waiting on @ERode anyway.

Chronicles of a Lost War

The Ex-Old Man

Those children... rushing off like that and leaving an old-timer like her alone. Didn't they know that was awfully rude? Not to mention a sure sign of bad luck--the thought was promptly cut off by part of the passageway out collapsing. If she had delayed just a minute more, this would really have been something of a problem. Nearly as much of a problem as the sudden appearance of a forest.

Hm, from the growth, it wasn't an old primeval forest, it was more similar to the way some woods had grown up during the sage's prior travels. It was all in all... something of a bad sign. Like the bad luck hadn't been put in stasis and things had gone quite wrong, making their rest much longer. That would explain how her age had changed so drastically in comparison to the relatively short time they had been planning. A few decades, after all, wouldn't have been expected to both reconfigure one's anatomy and remove a normal lifetime's worth of ageing.

The new village at the mountain's base was the only place the others could have gone and Efander made her way down, continuing to work out some of the kinks in her muscles, testing the restrictiveness of her tailoring a bit more. Sure enough, outside the town was a quite noticeably metal figure, presumably left so as to not scare anyone... or maybe they thought that she might get lost on the short trip. As if a great sage could get lost; they would merely take a different path and arrive exactly when they meant to.

"Ho, so you have been left out here to greet me?" the girl asked, moving to more clearly be seen by Aenarius--complete with her change of outfit. Not that this was the ideal target to assess a reaction on.

Timbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer.

Fate/Eternum

Continuing my habit of adding Masters because I keep playing characters who go offscreen a lot and many Servants still don't have clear ones...

Something for our evil professor.

• Name: Elferia Bay
• Age: 18
• Appearance: She looks very innocent.
• Personality: Elferia has always been a girl with a strong interest in mysteries--not the magical kind, but the fiction genre. Spotting the clues, putting them together to find the villain... and for as long as she can remember, she's also been very frustrated by them. First, there's the obvious culprit, the mysteries that are just wrong, where the conviction relies on some clue that is counterfactual. Right after that are the mysteries written primarily to be a story, hiding important details from the reader and relying instead upon the detective. What Elferia wanted was a mystery where the detective was stumped, but the clues were there--a perfect crime in the story, but one a clever reader could puzzle out. But then she got her real interest: planning the perfect crime. What clues could she remove? What did the detective rely on to solve it?
  She's not quite immoral enough to act upon her plans in reality, simply plan them out, and assess everyone as a potential asset or obstacle first or foremost. It doesn't matter if the crime would be for something laughably minor or ultimately irrelevant; the goal is the execution itself.
  When she's not exercising her manipulative streak, she's a pleasant but not too social girl with an interest in mathematics.
• Abilities: Primarily, Elferia is a practitioner of a form of Numerology, itself already a derivative of Gematria. Regardless of the founder's existence or not, or choice of methods, hers has more in common with the magecraft of Atlas than its ancient origins might imply. Rather than convert words into numbers, directly consider the phenomenon desired, break that into numerical components, and from there visualise and materialise the appropriate circles. Despite its pseudo-scientific basis, it still draws strength as a form of Kabbalah. Elferia summarises it thus: "an efficient and versatile approach, suited to an average magus of sufficient intellect."
  All of this complexity is backed up by what Elferia thinks is the more useful thing Atlas' alchemists came up with: Thought Acceleration. Considering multiple approaches in detail or analysing every view or possibility in detail might be an impressive trick, but solving a single complicated problem faster is far more useful to her. Plus with the potential deviations increasing exponentially with every step, she doesn't even consider the "multiple thoughts at a time" approach useful; a heuristic to keep to the most probable course then recalculate works well enough on the human scale.
• History: How and why Elferia has access to anything to have come out of Atlas is quite hard to answer, seeing as she never asked her father before his death due to her age, and her family name doesn't sound anything like a magus family, and her mother passed away before she can even remember. Not that she's lived alone all her life--a city where you can summon a Servant, and will likely summon based on compatibility is quite useful that way.

Tachibana Hibiki

"But, they're still people..." Hibiki said, hesitant even to punch them solidly--even if they were calling for her blood. This wasn't like the commander or Ogawa, where she could be certain that even if she tried to hit with all her might, it would either be outright turned on her or avoided. If she hit the hunters as hard as she could, the results would be undoubtedly messy... messier than even Hibiki knew, given the general state of affairs in Yharnam.

She would have to pull her punches. A lot. But the first punch, with the Symphogear hopping backwards and the gear around her arm shifting, showed what she could do even without contact. The gauntlet slammed into the air ahead of one of the hunters... and in the shockwave that followed, he and those around him were sent tumbling backwards into more.

The only downside was having to take it slowly else the *air* be too dangerous.

There was something to be said about not using equipment able to take on an army on people armed only with rusty cleavers and torches.
