Uhh hi.

I'll have characters for you probably tomorrow, @Vena Sera.

@NuttsnBolts That's okay, I'm slated for another deployment in the next while, but it's currently slated for only a few weeks. I should be okay to handle it with this. XD I like the rate we're moving, it's very conducive to my schedule.

"You're welcome, Asha. I felt better having a few watchers in the stands," Siku responded with a smile. "I don't think we would've done so well if we didn't have so much support. We're ashooin' for a spot in the qualifiers next year." The girl was rather optimistic about their chances, but they were definitely a good team. Like nails on a chalkboard, Siku heard a voice coming from nearby, causing her to physically cringe. The previous night came rushing back and her fist clenched tightly by her side as he began to ramble on and she couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or sincere. What did he mean by 'lucky charm,' anyway? If he was talking about what she thought he was talking about... Ooh, her face burned softly with redness, but upon remembering the presence of her friend and sister, she just let out a slow, deep breath.

"To be fair, Katsu... I don't know where you were sitting or how well you could see, but you wouldn't be able to tell that from so far away. They were good, don't try to patronize me just because you don't know a talented bender when you see one," Siku snapped, crossing her arms over her chest with a sneer. It was now that Sesi looked up at her and frowned.

"Siku, that's not nice... He was just trying to make you feel better," The small girl, who was almost a carbon copy of her older sister, "You shouldn't be so mean!"

Siku was visibly shocked by her younger sister, at a loss for words for a moment. "Yeah, but... Sesi, you do- He's so... It's not what y-..." She sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose before shaking her head, "You're right, Sesi... I'll be kinder," The girl finally ceded and gave her little sister a smile, still glancing at Katsu with a scowl afterward. "Watch yourself," she warned as he tried hitting on her younger friend.

Hiresh clearly looked irritated by Katsu's appearance. The boy had been a thorn in his side for a while and the force struggled to catch him concretely on anything illegal. He sighed, "What's your game, Katsu? What're you doing here?" He asked, trying to take the boy's attention away from the young airbender. As he tried to divert Katsu, the young man also began working on herding his small flock back to the house they had come from. However, something caused the hairs on the back of his neck to prickle. Something was wrong. Hiresh furrowed his brow, "C'mon, let's just go... something feels off." As he looked around, he felt a few pairs of eyes on all of them - standing in the crowd of moving people, by the entrance to the arena... Some seemed to be alone and others still were in pairs or threes. Why did they keep glancing this way?

@NuttsnBolts Thank you for the wonderfully thought out reply :) I will look into that! I'm definitely trying to mix in the new gen Pokemon more, because my team is entirely made up of recycles except my flying type and starter.

Under the Light of a Crimson Moon

Josephine stood dumbounded as the monsters began to emerge from the fog. Wait? Now she had to leave the only place she'd ever considered home? There was a tug on her arm coming from a figure that she had failed to even acknowledge the existence of since leaving the bridge. Her eyes moved to him as she resisted the pull, terror filling them as she realized it was Kael. "Wh-what..?" She asked, "No... No! Let go of me!" She shouted, yanking her arm away violently as she took a step away.

"Josephine, this is no time to lose sight of yourself. You need to move," Lydia ordered without wavering.

"I... I can't go. Let me fight!"

"You're in no condition, don't let your father's death go to waste and leave this place. You're going to get both of you killed!"

Her father. Josephine looked at the shack, "F-fine... But... I need something first..." She dashed toward the workshop before anybody could argue. She burst through the doors and down the hall to Edmund's old library. When she reached the theshold to the study, she froze as her stomach dropped. While she was here in this room earlier tonight, that man was out fighting for his Kael's life... and losing. She had been powerless to it. Without realizing it, tears had started rolling once more over her cheeks. Hadn't her eyes run out of tears yet? The girl sniffled once and wiped her eyes on her sleeve before stepping inside - the book was still out. She slammed it shut and shoved it unceremoniously into her bag. She needed something that held... him, his essence, for herself.

Walking out of the doors again, she could still see that the Scourge Beasts were on the prowl, perhaps waiting for one to attack before the rest pounced in. They were sizing up their prey and Lydia was clearly their biggest challenge. Kael grabbed her again and began dragging her along, though Lydia clearly didn't seem too pleased with the girl's behavior. Luckily, they were still able to wind through the streets and find a stopping point quite a while later. After everything that had happened that morning and the very little sleep they'd had, Josephine was finally starting to feel the wear and tear of the day. They both finally started to slow down and Kael stopped, taking a seat on the ground.

He began to blather on, but Josephine was busy, snapping branches from a nearby dead tree which had likely once been a decoration for the land. The girl stacked them up and knelt down, reaching her hand into the pile of leaves and sticks; this fire wouldn't burn long, but it didn't need to go for more than a little bit anyway. She concentrated, snapping her fingers and bringing a small, flickering blaze to life, which quickly caught and spread to the rest of the pile. Taking a few steps back and leaning against a wall, Josephine removed her sword and placed it against the wall just beside her. She pushed her bangs out of her face, sneering as she finally looked at Kael.

"After what happened today and yesterday, I don't see how it's possible for you to do anything but get me killed. You're an impatient, reckless, self-absorbed, lazy hunter who has no regard for a situation beyond his own glory," She stated firmly, her lips curling slightly in contempt as she sighed and shook her head. "Plus, I already tried to kill you, clearly if I wanted you dead, you would be by now. But that's exactly why I'm not leaving you right here to waste away into nothingness. It's more than obvious that you need somebody to teach you what Master Edmund tried so hard to." She gradually shed the backpack from her back and unstrapped Edmund's Chikage, which was wrapped in a blood-spattered cloth, before placing it alongside the bag. After opening the largest pocket of the sack, she retrieved the worn, leather-bound book from the study and tossed it at Kael.

"Here, it's about fifteen pages into that, I think. I don't think it's much of a question whether he was my father, he would never be so focused if it were not a fact." She stuck her tongue inside of her cheek briefly, shaking her head, "You know... I... I really hate you right now," The woman began, refusing to meet his gaze. "And I don't feel like I'll ever get over that. But... After everything, I can't let you die. Like it or not, you're a living part of him, and I'm not going to abandon you. He knew the risk he was taking... That doesn't mean I'm okay with what you've done."

She opened her palms to the fire. They were pretty warm from the adrenaline and all the work of the day, but the air had a bit of a bite to it. The woman crouched low to get closer to the flames, still staring ahead. Knowing that Edmund was gone forever was still setting in, but she hadn't known their relationship until today so... At least she'd never known him as a father.

@Peik I... Need. Help, Peik. XD I'm just polling my very few threads for any other people who play Pokemon.

Valour & Vale: A RWBY Roleplay

Not to double-post, but... seriously... I need hlep. XD

I'm in the middle of a PokeCrisis - I'm finally playing Pokemon Y and I've already got almost all of my team, but I keep learning about the Gen VI Pokemon and it's so hard to pick the last slot.

So currently the team is:

Axew
Lucario
Quilladin
Fletchinder
Wartortle
Kirlia

But I want the Onix I caught, or a Rhyhorn, and I really like the fossil Pokemon (but I'm even having difficulty deciding between the two, though I think I prefer the Ice one, and also Aerodactyl later in the game)... Plus I'm still super early in the game, so there's a butt-ton more to go and I have no idea how to decide what I want in my party. This is the first time I've had this problem in any Pokemon game. Oh, also, I'll probably want an Eevee... Though I might have to say no for just one game on that.

One by one, the other Huntsmen joined the fray, swinging blades and firing weapons at their foe. He was relieved - this Grimm was a bit bigger than he'd initially thought and making himself the distraction gave the others the opportunity they needed right off the bat. The first attacker was a new face, but based on her equipment and battlecry, she was certainly one of the Atlas folks. The destruction caused by the Great War was still fresh in everybody's mind, and even still Voyd felt a twinge of disgust at the girl's appearance. Of course, he'd been told that Atlas would be sending its own students, but he was rather hoping to find Lorral or the students from Vacuo first.

The beast whipped around, attacking each student in turn as it was struck by them. Voyd furrowed his brow - it was impulsive, lacked strategy and forethought and for now it deemed them all equal threats, so it didn't know which to focus on the most. It looked like everybody was here on time, he noticed, as Lorral joined the fray and a couple of his new comrades took turns in the assault. The long-haired guy was the last to move in. Now that it had received its flurry of surprise attacks and distractions, it would likely regroup and start focusing its efforts more accurately once it recovered.

As Lorral landed nearby, Voyd looked over at her, "Glad to see you made it. We're off to a safe start, aren't we?" He asked with a chuckle, watching as the Grimm's attention was directed at the man with long hair. This was his chance - the creature turned its back on him. He lowered himself toward the ground and kicked into a sprint, readying his blades on the approach. He couldn't rely on his Semblance this early in the fight and it would prove dangerous to his comrades if he used it as a trap instead of a close-quarters supplement. As he approached its legs, both of his blades came around. In a spin, his first blade aimed to leave a gash on one leg while the second arrived a step later to aim for the second before Voyd came out from behind the Grimm. Giving that other guy another chance to attack along with Lorral a chance to regroup would be fine - he could block. Plus, the guns from the others would certainly help hammer it down, Voyd couldn't help from anywhere but up close anyway so this was where he felt most comfortable.

"Good to see I wasn't the only one who wanted a fight!" He called out, both to his new partners and the Grimm before him. He ducked under the swing of a massive paw, gritting his teeth as a second attack from the tail came from behind when he wasn't expecting it. At the last moment, Voyd was able to pull his sword up and block a part of the attack from causing too much damage as it pushed him along the rocky ground and caused him to tumble a few feet. After ea bounce or two, the young man rolled over his shoulder and rose to his feet. A bit of mud soaked his clothes and cheek mixed with the rain, causing it to run gradually. His hair was matted to his forehead. Steam filled the air as the rain fell on the behemoth's flaming arm-blade.

He rotated his shoulders a few times, "Ugh... Well, that was exciting." He muttered, rolling his neck. At least it hadn't directly hit him, that would have left him significantly worse for wear. Voyd stepped forward again - he wasn't done. He rushed in, bringing his left blade up before the beast swung, leaving a soft shimmer in the air before turning and swinging both swords to his right to bat away the second swing. The creature cried out, but didn't seem too hindered beyond the stop of its attacks. If the others wanted a chance to take it down, it didn't seem like they could do it with quick, isolated attacks.

The guy with the hair is right! All at once, the more it takes at once, the more it'll hurt. I don't think we can do this little by little!" He called out, narrowly avoiding a strike from the flaming blade - good god, how the hell did this thing even mutate something like that?!
