Shimizu Kaori
Occult Investigation Club Room

---

Ah, rain. Rainy days brought back some unpleasant memories sometimes. Dressed in a black school uniform and a longer than usual skirt to help cover any extra appendages, Kaori would sit a tray of baked goods on the middle of a table, feeling quite pleased with herself. She had made these just this morning, and were still mostly fresh! Ah, she poured every ounce of love, sweetness, affection and maybe just a tiny bit of Jorogumo venom that she could manage.

She made sure to get here early just so she could do so, wanting mostly everyone to be able to enjoy themselves. A bit of cleaning and house keeping too. Oh, and to make sure she was in the perfect position so she could greet Tomoko. She heard, well her friends, a certain number of little spiders would inform her that Tomoko was approaching before she even opened the door.

"Tomo-chaaaaan~!" Immediate upon walking into the room, Tomoko would feel herself being almost knocked over by Kaori. The spider had nearly jumped on her and knocked her over. "How was your day? Did you eat properly? I made some snacks~" Innocent questions, accompanied by the not so innocent act of her shoving Tomoko's face right into her chest while her other hand started...groping the other girl's butt. "Ehehehe, though maybe you'd like to snack on me insteaaaad~?"

Epic of Beginnings - Dawns Cradle

Fish? Fishing.
@VitaVitaAR

“Bait, huh…”

“H-hey! Don’t ignore me!” Sionna harrumphed, pulling on Seelay’s hair. “Luring it out was my idea you big dumb dummy!”

“Well, using bait is nothing new…and we could, I guess. Sacrificing a few fish so we can get more seems like a good idea, but are you certain you can deal with it?” He’d give Seelay a frown.

“Well if we don’t do somethin, we’re gonna lose one of our other sources of food.” Another fisherman gruffly replied, bringing over a crate full of fish after hearing their conversation. “Box full of fish here. Feel free.” He’d plonk it down on the ice next to Seelay. “Any idea how you wanna go about it? We could put some sort of large net trap on the ice…maybe have the hunters standby with spears, too.”

“Hmm…if it can come on land, maybe we should just leave the storeroom unopened? It’d look pretty suspicious otherwise wouldn’t it?” Many suggestions, but it was ultimately up to Seelay how to handle it. “Might be best to wait until night or early morning too, that’s when the fish are usually most active.”

A certain little spider

“Torch? Huhu, no, no torches.” Achel would grab something from the nearby work table, handing it to Gideon. A small metal lantern, seemingly somehow in the same styling as the spiders dress. Metal and glass, with small spiked flourishes decorating the spaces between the glass. A small hook was at the top, presumably so it could be attached to the belt or other hook. The flame inside was already lit with a blue colored flame.

He’d recognize it as a sort of spirit-fire those often who worshiped the goddess of death used to guide spirits or a sort of fire often seen in areas with many lingering spirits or dead.

“Wouldn’t want to scare anyone. Hehe, maybe you’ll find some help, perhaps too?” She’d start walking, her somewhat stiff gait carrying her from the hallway, past a few more rooms that lead deeper into used parts of the crypt until she’d eventually lead Gideon down a flight of stairs, then down another hallway and deeper down inside the earth. As they’d travel, more spiderwebs made themselves evident, along with other various cave spiders though they seemed entirely harmless, choosing to ignore the two of them. Eventually the stone hallways would become much more smooth, swirling yet jagged patterns being carved into the stones as she’d come to a large chamber.

A circular room with a nearly unnaturally smooth floor engraved with a semi-circular moon shape that faced upwards. A downward spike was shoved through the middle while a small diamond shape hovered above. Gideon would have seen such an emblem before - though rarely. It was a particularly old emblem of the god known as Iva’Kroh, or the illuminator.

“Here. You probably don’t know, but Dawn was built by the Illuminator and his followers, shortly after the Moonless Era. The cult was dismantled some years ago…I doubt they’re still around, heheh.” She’d giggle, perhaps a little suspiciously. There was a good chance from her mannerisms she knew more than she was letting on. “This is the deepest part of the crypt…as far as I’m aware. Well, the known crypt. I do not know how to get into the deeper parts of it…though my friends have told me a bit about what lays beyond, hehe.”

The room itself was circular, with the floor being made of the impossibly smooth stone as previously observed. The walls made a dome above the room, rising upwards from the ground. Smooth but jagged stone patterns were carved, creating a path to the top of the room where what seemed to be some sort of hole was made in the ceiling from which hung what seemed to be a chandelier. It looked a bit like a chandelier with a magnifying glass attached to the bottom. The chandelier itself looked like it was supposed to hold some sort of large object, rather than any sort of light source.
A few hallways split off, where down one Gideon could see what seemed to be a gentle white glow of light. The other seemed to lead to what seemed to be something of a…torched study or something? It was hard to see since there was no light aside from his lantern, but it may be worth looking into.

Current Happenings

The moon goddess drops from where she was hanging, her bare feet hanging off the edge of the screen as she’d sit and gaze upwards, off into the distance.

Current location: Dawn
Time: Afternoon

• Perhaps there's something you, personally, feel that needs to be done?

The Missing huntress
@ERode@Pyromania99

---

Grunts of pain, groans of discomfort as the red-robed cultists had been completely thwarted by Atzi and Vammy. The one current at the mercy of her however, only responded with a grin. It was odd - she didn’t recognize him but it was odd. She could pick out distinct features and they seemed familiar, but she couldn’t put a name to a face.

ultimately He’d say nothing else as he would slowly start to become methodically tortured by Atzi until indeed, his face would swell to twice its original size almost from the bruising. No matter how many she’d torture though, none would give her a straight answer beyond what had already been said.

“Heheh, demon. You think you can break me?” Meanwhile, the one that Vammy had absconded with was merely chuckling as her mask was removed. The same curious thing happened with her - yeah, she was a person. Yeah, she seemed human…but aside from that, for the life of her Vammy could think of no distinguishable features from her. “I’ve already given my body to knowledge and the pursuit of it. You do not scare me, indeed! Any would be welcome to know demons…” She’d laugh, pulling out a dagger from her belt. “We’ll see who ties up who after I dissect you!”

Before she could do so, however, an arrow would graze Atzi’s face.

Looking from where it had come from, Atzi could see not just a single other cultist…but ten, twenty? Thirty? It was hard to ultimately count, but there was more of them, seemingly just appearing from the snowing ground in the fading sunlight.

A taller man wearing a black mask instead stepped forward.

“...you did well. We assumed one would be drawn by her disappearance…but to think…you could handle so many. I make to you…an offer…the same as your friend. Enlightenment and purpose. Or. Ignorance and folly.” Its voice was oddly disjointed, as though it was having trouble speaking.

Current Happenings

The goddess defrosted, throwing the remaining bits of rimebeast off screen. Folding her arms against her chest, she’d sit on the top of the screen, pouting.

Current location: Deep Kyr Forest
Time: Afternoon

---

Current Objective:
Find Maira (She has drawn a picture of Maira’s face here)

• She’s not at home. (The goddess has made a cutesy drawing of a cabin and Maira’s face, with a big red X over Maira’s face.)
• Tallen seems to have been tied and injured. The beast looks like its not had a decent meal in awhile, either. (The goddess has drawn a small chibi picture of Tallen, and an empty bowl of food.)

---

Potential Events:

• Asvar has mentioned a lack of Ore and that he might know where more are. (A small chunk of ore is drawn here)
• Bolcha has mentioned something spooking and eating his fish (Fish bones have been drawn here)
• Bolcha has mentioned someone going into the forest and securing more wood (A pile of logs have been drawn here)
• Enli mentioned not having enough coins or goods to barter with the merchant Mie, if she comes. (A fox wearing something black over her eyes and what seems to be rolls of marked paper held up in a very serious fashion has been drawn here. Words that spelled ‘capitalism ho!’ were also drawn here above the foxes head…whatever that meant.)
• Perhaps there's something you, personally, feel that needs to be done? (The goddess has drawn herself shrugging and looking confused)

An eight legged herbalist
@Click This@Crusader Lord

The giant creature moved after them, heavy footfalls pressing into the snow as it would chase its prey. The good thing was, it was not gaining on them. Bad news, is they were also not really losing it either as it would move with a slow, purposeful pace. The stretcher carrying the injured Oni moved as fast as they could, but without any intervention -

A cloudy maze would emanate from Nylah’s wings. Flecks of sparkling, snow-white clouds would be left behind her as they ran, the predator charging through it heedlessly, but not seeming to initially be bothered by it. Yet, as Nylah and Lissa ran, and more of the dust was released it would eventually start to…stumble a bit. Not enough to really hamper its movements, but it had seemingly inhaled enough for it to slow its judgment ever so slightly.

Not enough though, to end its aggression.

Seeing its prey starting to get away, its tongue lashed out, aiming to grab a hold of Nylah. No doubt she’d get dragged right into its gullet if if got her.

Current Happenings

Upon receiving the headpats, the Goddess giggled impishly, and started writing in her notebook again, wearing a smirk.

Current location: Dawn
Time: Afternoon

Current Objective:
Calra has said the following is what she is in need of.
Kyr Reed - A bundle of six Kyr Reed plants have been obtained. Should be plenty to help the village for a while.
Wind Leaf - A bundle of three Wind Leaf stalks and leaves.

• Haruno at least has been stabilized, though its only a temporary measure.
• Probably should get her to a healer of some sort sooner rather than later.
• Oh no, some unknown threat!

Potential Events:

• Asvar has mentioned a lack of Ore and that he might know where more are.
• Bolcha has mentioned something spooking and eating his fish
• Bolcha has mentioned someone going into the forest and securing more wood
• Enli mentioned not having enough coins or goods to barter with the merchant Mie, if she comes.
• Now where could Lazhira have run off too…?
• Haruno mentioned something about being ambushed by Yaga.
• Perhaps there's something you, personally, feel that needs to be done?

The two kids responded with a frown to Marduk’s demeanor, the girl taking a few steps back while the boy repositioned his sword, clearly not thinking too much of his manner. Thankfully for Reinhardt though, smoothing things over was a simple matter. He gazed warily at the waterskin and hesitantly lowered his sword, accepting the drink with a serious expression.

“We…we don’t know much…” The girl responded, expression changing into one of worry.

“We live here.” The boy responded a bit firmly, voice faltering a bit as he’d continue. “W-well…lived…here…I guess.” He’d take a small sip of the waterskin before offering it to his sister. “...It happened so fast. We were so busy running and trying to avoid the Fomorians so we could find dad-”

“We don’t know much…There was so much fire, burning everything…the fomorians, buildings…everything was burning…But…I did get-”

“Thats enough sister.”

“B-but…didn’t he say…that knights name is Ethelred…? Wasn’t that one of the ones she-”

“Sister!”

“Brother!” The two had a momentary glaring match before the brother relented with a sigh. The girl would fidget briefly on the spot, trying to think of the best way to put into words what she had seen. “I did…get a good look at it! T-the fire breathing thing…It was really, really, big. Enough that it could block out the sun with its size. It had these really, really big claws on its feet and a head full of sharp teeth - and also a really weird orange crest on its chest that glowed…”

“If it hadn’t been for uhm, this knight lady…with this big red sword we’d…probably not have made it.” The brother continued with a frown. “She…drove it off and led us to a nearby village a few days from here…she told us that if someone by the name of Sorcha, Ethelred or Reinhardt came asking about the Fomorian we should help them…”

“...uhm…I still don’t think it was a fomorian…”

Well, there they had it. The kids at least provided something useful and even a lead on Elnith from the sounds of it.

There was nothing otherwise special about the gouges on the wall, save for perhaps how big they simply were. It seemed like most had come from a downward angle, as though whatever it was was either swinging these claws downwards, or were simply crushed in somethings impossibly strong grip. The fomorians too, seemed nothing special - though if this large fomorian was capable of using such fire, then were these the victim of friendly fire? Had they already expired by the time they were burned? Or perhaps, something else?

The two children seemed unsure of what the knights were going to do next, or if they were in trouble for being out here in the first place.

Fio headed down from the library, Sucaria blissfully asleep or simply choosing not to bother Fio at the moment. Fio, would eventually find her way to where the queen was, and perhaps, she’d be a little dismayed by the scene. A number of soldiers had gathered around both her and the queen. A pile of empty mugs were sitting haphazardly on the table near them. Leo was standing nearby, a bemused expression being worn.

“What’s the matter, Luna?” Sorcha grinned with a boisterous laugh. The entire room reeked of alcohol by now, and the group was certainly enjoying themselves. “You said you weren’t a lightweight!” She’d slam the mug in her hand onto the ground, causing it to shatter upon impact. “Bring me another already! I’m parched, ahaha!”

Maybe, Fio would have thought to leave before she was seen -

“Ah? Fio!” Too late. The Queen got up from her seat and before Fio could run, she’d run over, grab the small girl and shoved her face right into her chest. “Come! Join us! Luna and I are having a friendly competition!” Fio, was then, dragged back to the seat and plopped down right next to the Queen. “Luna luna, I found a third player!”

Fio was still being firmly held against the queen’s bosom.

Upon seeing the armored man heading to his assumed rescue, the Tuatha’s eyes widened, a friendly grin spreading across his face.

“Ahaha, I almost expected Cecilia to come herself. Guess she's still busy with the giants to send a friend.” He’d respond quietly, but with a friendly tone. “Only that these guys and mine have been fighting a lot. Got careless and got nabbed on the way back from Airedale…but you probably know that. It'll be easier to fill ya in once I'm out.” He’d frown before shaking his head with a grin. Seems he had some assumptions about who Niall was, but ultimately that could work out in Niall's favor if he wanted to stick with it.

There was well, not many choices of hiding as armored as Niall was. The best chance were a number of boxes proved just high enough to hide behind and conveniently would seem to have enough room for someone to move behind silently if they were acrobatic or quiet enough…though it might otherwise be hard for him to get to the door she had left through.

The table nearby…a few cutting implements. Scalpels? Some thread, several jars of some sort of…grotesque body parts that seemed to come from various fomorians. The table itself didn’t seem to have anything too important except maybe telling of what she might be about to do here. She likely had anything important under lock and key until she was ready to use it.

“If you can’t get me outta here - that freaky fomorian ran off with my axe. Get it and I can get out myself.”

Said freaky Fomorian could be heard in the room she had entered, humming a little tune to herself as she went about whatever work she was doing. He still had time, it seemed.

Prophetiae Adventum: Envoys of the Pantheon

Welcome to the feast, do enjoy.

Orial

Name:
Orial Librin
Liora Brinil
Race:
Aasimar
Age:
24
Description:
Standing at height of 5'8, Liora dresses and typically carries herself in a way one wouldn't initially expect of her particular fighting style. Dressed more like a well to do noble with an adventurous streak, or perhaps one that spends many an hour on ships and the open sea. Silver colored hair neatly presented and combed back, eyes the color of deep blue, and a somewhat bored expression constantly worn.

Alignment:
Chaotic Neutral
Skills:

• Novice Weapon Mastery:
  Though her skill with melee weapons is far less than her others, its typically what she uses to engage with things first should conflict break out. She favors a sword, but she can at least use most melee weapons at a novice level, her impressive physical ability making up for a lack of skill. A bit of foreplay, as she says, to gauge ones skills and whether or not she should get invested in a fight.
• Martial Arts:
  The actual bread and butter of Liora's fighting skills - beating things to a bloody pulp with her arms and legs. Complemented with her more magical abilities strengthening her body with rage and sheer strength, she can be a fairly formidable close range fighter as she can both take a beating and dish one out.
• Divine Fury:
  While all Aasimar's supposedly trace their lineage back to Agamemnon, Liora herself seems to have inherited quite a lot of it. Enough that her divine heritage is made manifest by sheer willpower at the cost of throwing her into a violent rage that delights and revels in destruction. Channeling this magic through her body strengthens her physical form by making her both faster, stronger, and harder to kill. Typically has a tendency to make her forget how to use most melee weapons effectively aside from just being giant sticks of death to beat people with and maybe makes her have trouble distinguishing friend from foe occasionally.

Flaws:

• Cavalier Disinterest:
  Generally speaking, Liora hardly ever puts her full attention or focus on anything. Even during fights she treats most situations as some lighthearted game. This can make her quite...not fully effective most of the time unless she's doing something or fighting someone she finds 'interesting' in some manner. In effect, she's a battle nut that only likes pushing herself to the limit. On the flip side, she's rather cavalier with everyone...but perhaps, its just surface level because she generally finds most things -and people- boring.
• Debauchery Impulse:
  Being the envoy of Qhalus well, comes with certain proclivities. Hedonistic proclivities that may see one spending more time in brothels and getting absolutely shit-faced with high class wine. Well, she's fully embraced this side of her. Why work or care about others when one can simply let all of that go? Why worry or do get worked up over something? Over indulgence can be difficult, and she can often be swayed by someone showing her a good time. While perhaps, not an overly egregious personality flaw - it also has made her enjoy some...less than nice forms of pleasure-seeking. She's found inflicting pain on others and herself to give her a special brand of it. Can often be both found in brothels or anywhere a party could be. Rather merciless and sadistic in battle if she gets riled up.
• Hedonistic Motives:
  What does loyalty mean? Loyal to another? Friends? Family? To king and country? Well, simply put, if you asked her, she'd say herself above all else. While she doesn't seek to often intentionally cause trouble, she does follow the principle of leading both herself and others to various acts of debauchery and hedonism, whatever it may be. Even if said person commits acts of atrocity...if they enjoy it, then well, whose she to say otherwise? Why do something if you don't? Of course, this doesn't mean she won't help if there's a good reason too or lead people that actually truly enjoy doing good or helping astray. If she finds something would be amusing to do, she'd do it. Whether for ill, or bad. This can make her a bit of a wildcard sometimes, but generally she follows a single rule: Does it bring her any amount of satisfaction.
  
  This isn't to say she's not loyal to the Envoy's divine mission, she is, just don't expect her to be all that in a hurry to do so.
  
  Just do what you want. Let your emotions lead you.

Background:
Growing up in Brudel as the daughter of a noble house that had made much of its money in the sea-faring industry, well, the body the Envoy had taken over, has led quite the errant path to end up where she is today.

From an early age she was blessed with particularly strong, holy blood that caused her to fly into fits of madness and rage, often causing it to lash out at things around her should she become particularly agitated or emotional. It was said that perhaps, she was blessed by Midemis - though she would not have called it as such. As such, she was under strict supervision to attempt to 'contain' and 'control' this power from her early life from her parents and the clergy, seeing great potential in such power. Not to mention being confined to her room and being kept away from others to avoid incidents.

Still, her training continued as she continued to watch the parties, balls, and other things of the cities from the distance. Oh, how she wanted to go out and experience the world, life, and general, and get away from this stuffy nobility. At least she found some form of release and solace in her trainings. The tutors and parents had decided that exerting her powerful ability physically in some manner was the best way to contain it, or to give it direction so they began training her in both physical and martial might.

It was one of these training routines, where she nearly died and also nearly killed quite a number of servants. After that day, seven years ago...she ran away from home. She found herself on a ship, under cover, becoming a sailor on a pirate vessel. Perhaps drawn there by Midemis, perhaps for other reasons. That was her life up until a few weeks ago where the ship she was on was hit by bad weather, sinking into the ocean not far from Latis.

Its humorous, that an Envoy of Qhalus decided to then save her from a watery grave.

The Envoy chose her, even if she herself would have rather died then becoming the puppet of the gods, the envoy chose her. And so, soon, it would take Liora's body for its own.

Anger quenched by drink. Savagery suppressed by Lust. A brash and rough tongue turned silver and honeyed. While originally the Envoy certainly took over Liora's body, Midemis' blessings still ran strong within the host - and at times it seems as though the ego of the one formerly known as Liora potentially rages still creating some not so qhalus like qualities among its behavior occasionally.

Assuming an alias to shed the hosts past and fully embrace this role, it would then head to Latis where she would attempt to find her fellow envoys...well, if she happened to run into them while taking a moment to enjoy this new, mortal life it had.

Class & Gear:

• Class: Bloodrager
  Some people fight with skill, intelligence, and elegance. Many years of discipline and honing ones skill to a fine point and a deadly edge. Liora? Yeah, no, that sounds like a pain. She'd much rather rely on instinct and the strength of her body alone. Generally speaking, she's a physical bruiser with some divine blood to enhance her physical abilities and to perform some small magical feats instinctively. While she'll never be as skilled as a dedicated spell caster, her physical ability more than makes up for it. She can both give and take a beating, and should as she put it 'her switch gets flipped' well, you best be ready for the unfun kind of pounding, because her fists are going inside your intestines.
  
  Aside from enhancing her physical abilities, theoretically she should be able to instinctively use the magical blood in her veins for other things, but she's yet to quite reach that potential.
• Gear:
  Trusty Ornate Longsword:
  A rather lovely, elegant looking long sword. Surprisingly sturdy enough to not have broken in combat when she goes full cage match on a poor fool.
  Padded clothing:
  Fairly mundane, if somewhat expensive looking clothing. A few layers of padding have been added for protection, but generally they're just normal clothes. Easier to move around in, and who doesn't like getting a bit roughed up or losing their clothes in a fight? Bonus points if both parties do.
  Alcohol flasks:
  Did you expect anything less? Very strong stuff. Possibly illegally strong. If she's not busy getting it on with someone in a brothel, a party somewhere, or beating someone to a pulp for fun, she's probably some level of drunk.
  Sweets: She likes keeping various hard candies on her. She especially likes things that are sweet enough to kill, our sour enough too.

"Why am I being left to finish it ooooff!?" Kokoha shouted, the giant frog being slowed just enough for her to get into position. "Fine then! Guh, you'll see what a cute highschool girl is capable of! Here I go~!" As the Hermit lent her its power, Kokoha would swiftly dodge completely out of the way of the frogs descent, turning right on a dime and still holding Justice in her hands. With a leap high into the air, she'd aim for the frogs eye. Her feet slammed into its body, soon followed by her impaling the sword inside it.

"Hup~!" In another swift movement, Kokoha would pull the sword alongside the frogs body, intending on creating a large gash on it before leaping away once more, intending to land on its back so she could stab it again and attempt to give it a death by a thousand cuts.

Realism no Mononoke: An Urban Fantasy RP

Itsy Bitsy spider

Name:
Shimizu Kaori
Age:
Forever 18~
Gender:
Female
Race:
Jorōgumo
Appearance:
Oft, Kaori appears as a young girl of highschool age. All the better to get closer to her preferred playthings with. Possessing a near supernatural beauty, dressing in elegant kimono's when not attending school. Typically, she wears short cut black hair typically tied into short tails at either side of her head and possesses Heterochromia, perhaps lending a bit more to her appearance. Just ignore the fangs...and the occasional yellow and black spider leg coming from under her kimono. That's just your imagination.

Personality:
When one thinks of a Jorogumo, they most likely envision a seductress of some sort - and Kaori certainly lives up to such an image...save for the fact she much prefers snacking on adorable little girls. Playful, lascivious, and exceedingly affectionate and intimate to anyone she likes all for the purpose of getting someone to let their guard down so she can have a quick afternoon snack. Make no mistake, she's a predator and if it wasn't for someone proverbially holding her leash, she'd likely become a threat again to people very, very quickly.

For the most part, generally, Kaori is a friendly little if somewhat troublesome and impish spider much preferring to be friends rather than enemies or rivals. However, while she is quick to show physical and intimate affection to the girls around her, she is quick to fall into a rather listless, broody, and falling back into old habits if such affections aren't returned by those around her especially after repeated rejections or just going for so long without it...and this is her totally, definitely, valid reasoning for having her spider friends take stealthy panty shots or her propensity to grope and tease the women around her.

If, perhaps, you manage to upset the spider enough to make her angry...be warned, she's just as cruel and cunningly intelligent as the myths say.


Abilities:
Kaori is not the most directly combative youkai out there. She's certainly strong and impressive when compared to most humans, but she does not have impressive strength like the Oni or many other supernatural abilities.

Notably, Kaori is able to produce extremely fine, extremely sticky silk that has durability similar to steel. A very flexible, tough to cut substance that she uses to ensnare, bind, or otherwise trap foes. Sharp enough to cut if enough force is applied and she makes them just thick enough. Can produce quite a bit in a short amount of time, if needed.

Aside from the silk, she also possesses extremely potent venom. Delivered often via bite if she gets close enough to a foe, she can inject quite a large quantity in a very short amount of time. In small doses it does nothing more than to put one into a somewhat drunken, feel good state. Larger doses however, erode the body. Loss of motor control. Hallucinations. Weakness. It is not otherwise lethal, though, unless the dosage is fairly large or sustained exposure causing the body to eventually just fail.

She can also speak with, and control most arachnids. She has a rather extensive intelligence network and generally is aware of what is happening in the city. A spider swarm can also be both rather terrifying and difficult to combat, if one gets swarmed...oh, and the spiders can vary in size in fact and a few can breathe fire if she raises them right and they can grow to be fairly large, too.

Skills:
Perhaps unsurprisingly she's really good with domestic chores. Cooking, Cleaning, sewing, basic first aid...she's picked up quite a few miscellaneous if not overly helpful or relevant skills in her lifetime.

Equipment:
Clothing made from her own silk. Durable stuff. Ask nicely and she might make you some. She'll need to do a fitting, though. Be prepared to get touched. A lot.
Does a legion of spiders count?
Brief Backstory:
About five years or so ago, a girl from an all-girls school went missing in the city. A tragedy, really, but there wasn't much to suggest anything supernatural about it or otherwise. Six months later...her family would find her, dazed, confused, and not remembering anything at all about the past six months but otherwise uninjured and unharmed...for the most part. Yet, a week later - another tragedy struck. A second girl went missing.

And this, would be a certain spiders MO for the foreseeable future. Far from eating or hurting them, no, she had other uses for them. Eventually she'd change her methods ever so slightly. Expand out from the school to others. Even have a bit of fun with the older women, occasionally, if they struck her fancy. Eventually though, she would get careless. Despite having her spider friends get rid of evidence, cover her tracks, and generally make sure she only showed up or appeared at night, eventually she would indeed leave a trail of some sort.

At first, she thought the person coming to deal with her was going to be some boorish Onmyouji, and was prepared to simply kill and eat them if they were some dumb guy, or perhaps, keep them around longer if they were a cute girl that struck her fancy. Fortunately, for the both of them Tomoko was the latter. To say Kaori almost fell in love at first sight was an understatement. Why was this adorable thing out fighting Youkai? Why was she putting herself in danger? Such things were so veeery dangerous, and if it had been any other spider, she'd probably just have been eaten alive!

She tried her best to get the girl to see reason. See that if she just stayed here with her, she'd be all nice and taken care of the rest of her life...but alas, it was not to be. After an admittedly short confrontation because Kaori couldn't bring herself to genuinely harm the other girl, she decided that fine, if she wasn't going to let her take care of her here, then she could go with her and take care of her anyways.

She let the girls she had collected over the past year go, promised to be a good little spider and enrolled in the highschool with Tomoko.

Alas, if only it was an all girls school...

Spider is here.

Protect your undergarments.

Itsy Bitsy spider

Name:
Shimizu Kaori
Age:
Forever 18~
Gender:
Female
Race:
Jorōgumo
Appearance:
Oft, Kaori appears as a young girl of highschool age. All the better to get closer to her preferred playthings with. Possessing a near supernatural beauty, dressing in elegant kimono's when not attending school. Typically, she wears short cut black hair typically tied into short tails at either side of her head and possesses Heterochromia, perhaps lending a bit more to her appearance. Just ignore the fangs...and the occasional yellow and black spider leg coming from under her kimono. That's just your imagination.

Personality:
When one thinks of a Jorogumo, they most likely envision a seductress of some sort - and Kaori certainly lives up to such an image...save for the fact she much prefers snacking on adorable little girls. Playful, lascivious, and exceedingly affectionate and intimate to anyone she likes all for the purpose of getting someone to let their guard down so she can have a quick afternoon snack. Make no mistake, she's a predator and if it wasn't for someone proverbially holding her leash, she'd likely become a threat again to people very, very quickly.

For the most part, generally, Kaori is a friendly little if somewhat troublesome and impish spider much preferring to be friends rather than enemies or rivals. However, while she is quick to show physical and intimate affection to the girls around her, she is quick to fall into a rather listless, broody, and falling back into old habits if such affections aren't returned by those around her especially after repeated rejections or just going for so long without it...and this is her totally, definitely, valid reasoning for having her spider friends take stealthy panty shots or her propensity to grope and tease the women around her.

If, perhaps, you manage to upset the spider enough to make her angry...be warned, she's just as cruel and cunningly intelligent as the myths say.


Abilities:
Kaori is not the most directly combative youkai out there. She's certainly strong and impressive when compared to most humans, but she does not have impressive strength like the Oni or many other supernatural abilities.

Notably, Kaori is able to produce extremely fine, extremely sticky silk that has durability similar to steel. A very flexible, tough to cut substance that she uses to ensnare, bind, or otherwise trap foes. Sharp enough to cut if enough force is applied and she makes them just thick enough. Can produce quite a bit in a short amount of time, if needed.

Aside from the silk, she also possesses extremely potent venom. Delivered often via bite if she gets close enough to a foe, she can inject quite a large quantity in a very short amount of time. In small doses it does nothing more than to put one into a somewhat drunken, feel good state. Larger doses however, erode the body. Loss of motor control. Hallucinations. Weakness. It is not otherwise lethal, though, unless the dosage is fairly large or sustained exposure causing the body to eventually just fail.

She can also speak with, and control most arachnids. She has a rather extensive intelligence network and generally is aware of what is happening in the city. A spider swarm can also be both rather terrifying and difficult to combat, if one gets swarmed...oh, and the spiders can vary in size in fact and a few can breathe fire if she raises them right and they can grow to be fairly large, too.

Skills:
Perhaps unsurprisingly she's really good with domestic chores. Cooking, Cleaning, sewing, basic first aid...she's picked up quite a few miscellaneous if not overly helpful or relevant skills in her lifetime.

Equipment:
Clothing made from her own silk. Durable stuff. Ask nicely and she might make you some. She'll need to do a fitting, though. Be prepared to get touched. A lot.
Does a legion of spiders count?
Brief Backstory:
About five years or so ago, a girl from an all-girls school went missing in the city. A tragedy, really, but there wasn't much to suggest anything supernatural about it or otherwise. Six months later...her family would find her, dazed, confused, and not remembering anything at all about the past six months but otherwise uninjured and unharmed...for the most part. Yet, a week later - another tragedy struck. A second girl went missing.

And this, would be a certain spiders MO for the foreseeable future. Far from eating or hurting them, no, she had other uses for them. Eventually she'd change her methods ever so slightly. Expand out from the school to others. Even have a bit of fun with the older women, occasionally, if they struck her fancy. Eventually though, she would get careless. Despite having her spider friends get rid of evidence, cover her tracks, and generally make sure she only showed up or appeared at night, eventually she would indeed leave a trail of some sort.

At first, she thought the person coming to deal with her was going to be some boorish Onmyouji, and was prepared to simply kill and eat them if they were some dumb guy, or perhaps, keep them around longer if they were a cute girl that struck her fancy. Fortunately, for the both of them Tomoko was the latter. To say Kaori almost fell in love at first sight was an understatement. Why was this adorable thing out fighting Youkai? Why was she putting herself in danger? Such things were so veeery dangerous, and if it had been any other spider, she'd probably just have been eaten alive!

After an admittedly short confrontation because Kaori couldn't bring herself to genuinely harm the other girl, she decided that fine, if she wasn't going to let her take care of her here, then she could go with her and take care of her anyways.

Epic of Beginnings - Dawns Cradle

Fish? Fishing.
@VitaVitaAR

---

“Its black, I think.” The injured fisherman said.

“Lots of fins too, didn’t it?” Another chimed in, walking over to greet the elf.

“What? No, how does it have lots of fins? Fish don’t have more than three at most…” A third called back. “Well, not counting the tail.”

“Maybe its not a fish. Maybe its more like…some sort of squishy sea spider with eight arms that can steal crates of fish from storage.”

“Thats dumb. Its probably more like some sorta large deep-sea predator we occasionally fish up.”

“...as you can see we haven’t seen much of it.” The injured fisherman responded with a frown. “I’m sorry we don’t have much more information. We haven’t dared go into the water for long since it showed up. Only thing I might be able to say is that we saw one of the nets we lost get dragged out over by the cliffs near the old ruins, the one with the obelisk. Might be living somewhere near there. There’s lots of caves, both underwater and along the seashore. Pretty expansive places if you don’t mind swimming a bit and the cold water.”

“Sounds like this beastie is just shy.” Sionna, thought this would be a good idea to make herself known and chime in her two cents as she’d take her usual perch on Seelay’s head. “Maybe I can use my fairy charm to draw it out~” She did a little pose on top of Seelay’s head that the fairy probably thought was supposed to be ‘sexy’.

It definitely wasn’t.

Current Happenings

The moon goddess had pulled a fishing rod from her dress somewhere, and was holding it off the edge of the screen, presumably fishing.

Current location: Dawn
Time: Afternoon

Potential Events:

• Asvar has mentioned a lack of Ore and that he might know where more are.
• Bolcha has mentioned something spooking and eating his fish
• Bolcha has mentioned someone going into the forest and securing more wood
• Enli mentioned not having enough coins or goods to barter with the merchant Mie, if she comes.
• There could be a way to start diversifying Dawn’s food options aside from its usual fish, berry, and forest animal diet.
• Perhaps there's something you, personally, feel that needs to be done?

@Cu Chulainn
Tsk tsk, body snatching is a crime you know...

“Ah yes, fate. That silken string that so many seem to be either ignorant too or fight against…does the hollow one in front of me have a curious fate? Ehehe, well, no matter. If you do its none of this spiders business…” She’d respond with a friendly smile, motioning for Gideon to follow. She’d lead him from the main temple hall and towards the back, down a flight of stairs to the basement where she’d push open a large wooden door with some minor effort.

Gideon would immediately recognize it as a crypt. Many bodies had been laid out, Achel and a few other helpers having done so much work already, but so much more to go. It seemed though, she was by herself now. The place itself was fairly large, in fact…it didn’t seem like it originally was a crypt judging from the layout. There was a very good probability this place was much larger.

“I’ll get straight to the point.” Achel would say, once she’d close the creaky wooden door behind Gideon. Her voice would take a much more serious tone, though her usual smile didn’t leave her pale lips. “Someone’s been stealing my bodies. I would hunt them down myself and strangle them slowly with my web…but I have far too much work to do, and I don’t want to panic the residents.” She’d move over to some of the bodies, immediately getting to work again while talking.

“Its no one in the village…I have asked my friends and they’ve said its not.” The Chiralata replied. “But they don’t tell me who is doing it…so it must be someone living in here! Or around here…who would live with a bunch of corpses? They must not have very many friends.” She’d say with a smile. “This place was once a larger complex, but it was sealed off a really long time ago. Maybe a little spider puppet is making off with my bodies…hmph…ah, if only I was a proper maid…”

Current Happenings

The moon goddess sits up, looks warily at the edge of the screen…a little exclamation mark appearing over her head as a spider lasso’s her with a net of silk before stringing her up by her ankles at the top of the screen. She desperately tries to stop her dress from revealing her undergarments.

Current location: Dawn

• Bolcha has mentioned something spooking and eating his fish

• Perhaps there's something you, personally, feel that needs to be done?

The Missing huntress
@ERode@Pyromania99

“Gweh!” The fireball hit one of the archers first, slamming into his body and knocking him to the ground from the impact. Unfortunately for Vammy, most of the archers were a bit spread out, having set themselves up at intervals around the edge of the rocky hill that overlooked them - so it was less chaos than she’d have likely hoped, but enough to get one of the archers off her back.

“Kill the creature!” Another one of them would shout, as one of the archers nearby the one who had been fireblasted dropped his bow and drew an axe, aiming to instead smash Vammy’s face in while the second got to his feet, a bit dazed from the impact.

This of course, left three archers still focused on her…an arrow would graze her stomach, the only thing saving her from being impaled was her speed. A second would impact her thigh, but the demon inside her head only laughed at the surge of pain she’d feel.

“Yes, yes! Rip! Tear! Burn and bleed!”

Atzi made short work of the three that had attempted to engage her. Dealt with swiftly and brutally. The meatshield did its job well, soaking up several arrows that had been launched at Atzi with a few more grazing her by the time she had made it to where the archers had been positioned.

“Illuminator guide us!” One shouted, dropping the bow and pulling a spear. He’d lunge towards Atzi, not caring for the meat shield seeming to think attempting to impale his former comrade and Atzi both would be the best idea. The second got in close, pulling only a small hunting dagger from his belt and attempting to swiftly cut at Atzi’s shoulder.

Current Happenings

The goddess defrosted, throwing the remaining bits of rimebeast off screen. Folding her arms against her chest, she’d sit on the top of the screen, pouting.

Current location: Deep Kyr Forest
Time: Afternoon

Current Objective:
Find Maira (She has drawn a picture of Maira’s face here)

• She’s not at home. (The goddess has made a cutesy drawing of a cabin and Maira’s face, with a big red X over Maira’s face.)
• Tallen seems to have been tied and injured. The beast looks like its not had a decent meal in awhile, either. (The goddess has drawn a small chibi picture of Tallen, and an empty bowl of food.)

---

Potential Events:

• Asvar has mentioned a lack of Ore and that he might know where more are. (A small chunk of ore is drawn here)
• Bolcha has mentioned something spooking and eating his fish (Fish bones have been drawn here)
• Bolcha has mentioned someone going into the forest and securing more wood (A pile of logs have been drawn here)
• Enli mentioned not having enough coins or goods to barter with the merchant Mie, if she comes. (A fox wearing something black over her eyes and what seems to be rolls of marked paper held up in a very serious fashion has been drawn here. Words that spelled ‘capitalism ho!’ were also drawn here above the foxes head…whatever that meant.)
• Perhaps there's something you, personally, feel that needs to be done? (The goddess has drawn herself shrugging and looking confused)

An eight legged herbalist
@Click This@Crusader Lord

Perhaps, if they had simply ran and not launched the spears of light towards the monstrous entity they’d have been fine. After all, it didn’t immediately attack them, which meant that it likely was simply observing and watching them. It had just nabbed a wolf, and likely a deer earlier so it was likely full and unlikely to immediately engage them.

Yet, a certain moth, though it a good idea to launch weapons at it.

“GWAAAK-!”

A croaking roar followed as the ground under them rumbled, more trees being shoved aside like they were nothing. Snow kicking up as whatever it was barreled from the treeline and into…view? Well, logic would have dictated something popped out, but once the snow settled…there was nothing? Well, there was clearly something there - it began barreling towards the girls, leaving deep, heavy impressions in the snow as they had seen back when picking plants, shaking the earth with each of its steps.

Ah -

Briefly something flickered in the air. A lizard-like creature, incredibly large with a triangular shaped head with a somewhat flat top. Two bulbous eyes which looked in different directions. It was covered in dark green scales, a tail that curled behind it upwards into a spiral with four, long and heavy limbs allowing it to stand at what seemed to be at least as tall as your average house. A soft fleshy pouch of some sort was under its chin, a bit like a frog.

But they would lose sight of it again as its scales would shift in color seemingly, making it seemingly blend in with its surroundings by shifting the color of them from a forested color to that of snow and air.

It would proceed to run after them again. It was not a particularly fast creature, however, but it was certainly lumbering towards them at a decent pace.

Current Happenings

Upon receiving the headpats, the Goddess giggled impishly, and started writing in her notebook again, wearing a smirk.

Current location: Dawn
Time: Afternoon

Current Objective:
Calra has said the following is what she is in need of.
Kyr Reed - A bundle of six Kyr Reed plants have been obtained. Should be plenty to help the village for a while.
Wind Leaf - A bundle of three Wind Leaf stalks and leaves.

• Haruno at least has been stabilized, though its only a temporary measure.
• Probably should get her to a healer of some sort sooner rather than later.
• Oh no, some unknown threat!

Potential Events:

• Asvar has mentioned a lack of Ore and that he might know where more are.
• Bolcha has mentioned something spooking and eating his fish

• Enli mentioned not having enough coins or goods to barter with the merchant Mie, if she comes.
• Now where could Lazhira have run off too…?
• Haruno mentioned something about being ambushed by Yaga.
• Perhaps there's something you, personally, feel that needs to be done?
