Miina Malina

Obviously, Mizutani wouldn't tell her anything off the bat—in her shoes, Miina doubted that she would do much different, it only made sense that the woman was trying to bargain for her safety. That was fine, she didn't mind being a bit cruel and giving her false hope, she was a crime boss—

Of course someone had to go and ruin it. Oh, sure, Ciradyl had some excuse in that she was being threatened, but they were all here to kill her; there was no need to get all stabby before she answered any questions!

Rudolf and Galahad had jumped to intervene in time, though, so the possibility of getting any answers wasn't entirely lost. Not that this meant Miina was entirely calm by the time she rushed over to apply some emergency healing, letting out a frustrated hiss at Cyradil.

Right, just enough healing to keep her alive, give her incentivve to co-operate in the hope that she might even be spared in the long run...

Okay, so that was everyone that they needed to remove out of the way before there was actually a problem... and now Ciradyl was being taken hostage! She could probably get herself out of it, at least Miina hoped so, but that was something awfully precious at risk if they didn't help. The problem was that as much as she might want to sneak up... she had to ask questions, which didn't go well with a stealthy approach.

Then, who wouldn't attract attention immediately? Esben, good choice or not, was immediately out because he had drawn attention by getting in a fight. Same for Eliane, although she seemed so unsuited to a stealthy approach to begin with... and Galahad was armoured and had come through the floor. Right... Eve and Robin didn't even seem like they understood the meaning of a subtle approach, so it couldn't be either of those, either. Izayoi was even more out, arguing with Mizutani and all.

That left Arton and Rudolf, and Arton was armoured. Rudolf it was, then. Did this seem like favouritism? They'd even gone out looking for her brother just a little bit ago...

Still, he was the best option available. Creep up the stairs, stick close, prepare that not-quite invisibility once again but exclude herself... she could hold this for a little while. Hopefully the push on his back would be interpreted right (and the muttered "g-go", if he heard that), otherwise... well, someone else would have to do something.

Being loud wasn't her specialty, but Miina could do it! Deep breath and... jump forward.

"E-Excuse me!" Bright red, raised hand... that ought to be enough to get Mizutani's attention, right? "I kn-know we're in the m-middle of something, but I've g-g-got a question! Y-You worked with m-my brother, right?" Well, 'employed' was more accurate, but that was a minor detail, "Z-Zeke Malina? Umm... c-can you tell me w-why he left?"

She'd ask where he went, but it didn't seem like the person that had been looking for him would know any better. Knowing why he left might get her something! Or maybe she'd get an angry tirade, that was just as useful.

And hey, she was providing a distraction. That ought to help, too.

With that, the binding circle flared once, twice--and then it was gone, save for a few lingering rings around the knights' feet. The same blue as the magic, if they had in truth agreed to be bound, and a surly red if they hadn't.

The ensuing geas binding those was considerably less flashy, a brief flare of red before all the circles winked out entirely, and the witch gave a brief shrug as the night gave way once more to a sunny day. "There you have it; you'll all know the signal when the magic no longer binds you."

She turned to Thrinax, "You had best be off before the dragonslayer gets over here. Or at least go fight somewhere else."

The dragon gave a dismissive snort, but took the advice, rising into the air sure enough and wheeling round--once, twice--before gliding off away from the knights and Talderia both.

The witch gave them one more glance, lingering on Renar as if she was about to speak, then shrugged, "I'll be back for you at dawn, have fun."

Then she was gone too, leaving just the Iron Roses, an amused looking fairy... and an absolutely massive cake.

---

Sure enough, as dawn rose over the not quite real Talderia, the knights once again found themselves returned to their own rooms, and their own beds, still in the depth of night where they had left and with sunrise hours away.

No headaches, though, whatever the witch might have said. Aside from, perhaps, a hangover from any celebrations.

@XxFellsingxX You need to change the permissions so other people can see it. ^^;

Ah, I see that it DOES track campaign, neat.

Not sure if this link will work if it's hotlinked, but google drive deleted the name. Very rude. Still, obviously got stuff like appearance and "what is this companion like then", but… aside from the whole "I don't know what exists to spend my money on", that's mechanically done, I think?

Plus a question about where we're doing the rolling, obv.

Fabula Ultima: JRPG Adventures

Need to think more on the fluff of the concept and the priority, but I'm thinking I'll go Arcanist/Fury/Wayfarer. Might and Willpower specialised, despite the silliness.

all you need in life to wander around is the ability to punch things, and at least one weird spiritual buddy.

Uh.

Being riddled with bullets didn't seem great, but at least the man had neatly announced what he was going to do. And the room conveniently had pillars to hide behind to avoid the whole "being shot" thing. Now, if only she could've kept climbing up the exterior rather than face this… one, she'd actually have the target in her sights, but two, she could just stab this guy from behind.

Which wasn't to say that stealth was that bad of an idea. If she used that near-invisibility again… yes, if he was focusing on the bait Rudolf and Eve were providing, then he'd not notice the blur where she was. And even if her footsteps were a bit louder than normal to close in quickly, there was no chance that she could be heard over the sound of guns.

Now, hopefully none of her other teammates would resort to shooting wildly in his direction, there was still enough risk of being shot from the front. And… well, explaining would give the game away and there wasn't time.

3… 2… 1… now.

And hopefully she could get in under his guard and stab him.

She was doing a lot of stabbing from below recently.
