Epithet Erased: Use Your Words

Mark frowned at the sword girl before noticing some movement behind her. And she fell face-first into the sand. And there was security. "Hey, glad you're-" He was told to leave. He didn't.

He stayed and watched, listening as the little girl told her story, but also keeping an eye on the girl who had run away from him calling him Jensen Ackles. When it got to the point that the security man was asking for names and epithets, Mark gladly gave his up. "Mark O'Dess. Stride is a movement-based epithet. Since sword-girl is innocent, I'm gonna go talk to the other girl and get her deal." With that, he used his stride, not giving anyone a chance to respond in any way, to get on the rock behind the teenager.

"I'm actually here... yeah, to scout the place out! Because... uh... for a BIG HEIST. See... you need to CASE THE JOINT before you do any damage. A genius captain like me knows how important preparation is. Which is why I don't have my Blasters with me. FOUR OF THEM. And, uh, they're called the FOUR HEAVENLY KINGS. It's PRETTY BADASS. The beach is perfect because, uh, there's a LOT OF STALLS lined up in a row and not much security. So I figure... yeah, if we blitzkrieg it, we can get away with a LOT OF STUFF scot-free!

...Out of curiosity, did you and your buddies pack your uniforms?"

"How did I not realize you were the bad guy?" he asked, ready to stride in front of her if she tried to run. "Let's make this easy. Tell me who you are and what you can do and I won't drag you to security. Got it?"

He hoped she ran.

@Xaltwind Just a bit of meta knowledge, Gromgard doesn't think he's the leader of the cult.

As soon as Chompy and Ashara joined Gromgard outside the doors, he nodded. "Let's move swiftly. I have a sense our time is limited." He didn't care where his companions traveled, as long as they stayed nearby. With his scouts leaping through the trees again and the rest of his goblins following behind him, Gromgard led the way to the first site he had visited with Mamoru. As they got closer, he noticed a small group of cultists. With a simple motion, he ordered his scouts to take them out with their bows. The closer they got to the first site, the more cultists they killed. After passing the first site, and following the trail of cultists, the eventually reached a new place.

"This place looks strange. Let's finish up here quickly. I don't want to see what the aura will do to any of you." He glanced back at Ashara and Chompy, wondering their thoughts.

The further they went, the stranger everything looked. His goblins began getting more and more scared, except the one with a hammer who just tried attacking everything. Apparently, barbarians feel rage in place of fear... He decided to send them back to the chateau.

And then the... gardener? Warlock? Whatever he was, he began telling them to leave. Since he didn't have the aid of his goblins, he drew his sword and stabbed it into the ground, a show of both strength and, as he was disarming himself, an attempt to appear less threatening. He took a couple steps forward, putting him just out of reach of his weapon. He just hoped the man didn't have a way to tell he could also cast spells.

"Who is he and how can we help him?" he asked, kneeling to look the tender in the eyes.

@Lugubrious
Hah, Ashara's too dense and awkward to assume a false identity. Even if she can use illusions and whatnot, that wouldn't make up for horrible acting-skills. xD

@Xaltwind

There is always the option of helping someone else with it.

@Lugubrious Alright. Sorry. I made the post right before I went to sleep. I'll make the edits when I get off work tonight. What all is happening right now?

Overlord: Momento Mori

@The Irish Tree@Xaltwind@BurningDaisies I'll have to post tomorrow. I have a lot to catch up on. I just hope I find the time and don't forget.

It was just after 6:30 am when Mark, Nate, and Ted arrived at Ted's house. With nothing else to do, they tried deciding on a movie. The arguing made them hungry. Mark offered to buy breakfast. It was as he began checking his pockets that he realized a problem.

"Guys, I can't find my wallet," Mark said sheepishly. "It can't be too far."

After another half-hour of searching the house, Mark decided to ride through town to see if he could find it. He searched everywhere he'd been. He found it half-hidden in the gutter in front of the beach. After retrieving his wallet, he noticed something going on.

He heard a girl belittling a child. He looked around to take in the entire scene before using his stride to come up behind the girl. "You know, picking on a smaller person just because you can is being nothing more than a bully. I'm pretty sure the lifeguards have already noticed you and are ready to kick you off the beach. I suggest you leave before you get in trouble." While he didn't like what she was doing, she was still a stranger and he wanted to at least try helping her be a better person. He didn't wait for her to turn around before using his stride again, this time being behind the bullied child.

@The Irish Tree I'll wait for the update before my next post.
