Still here, the end of year wrap up chaos begins. I am heading to Stratford ON to see As You Like It this weekend. Keeping an eye out for the post (didn't want to reply to the IC till I had more to go on)

Hoping my partners/groups see this. Very sick. High fever for three days. Finally downgraded. Will reply when I can stay awake.
Bio
Hate writing my biography but also don't like it when people don't have one so...Long time role player. Enjoy writing many different genres (favourites are cyberpunk/near future and high fantasy). Prefer advanced stories/plots and 1x1's. I like to have depth to stories and characters. Not fond of high school role plays or fandoms/fanfic.

Forum: Advanced Roleplay
Ona, though standing nearby Lucius, was only barely paying attention to what was going on. There were discussions, words murmured to each other, the space between words thick with distrust.
Her attention was elsewhere. Her hand was on the chain at her neck. So much had gone on yet she felt as if she understood very little of it.
A shot, more words - harsher now, weapons. Onatha pressed herself back into the wall. She realized she understood very little of what was going on in this place. There were political workings that she had barely glimpsed. All she had been focused on was Lucius when he had found her. She had not honestly given a great deal of thought to the powers at work in this place. At one time, back in her own tribe when things hinged on her marriage and bonds between the tribes she had paid closer attention. Her time chained in the library had left her too numb to think on it. Then she woke up here, in a time not her own and politics seemed inconsequential to survival.
Ona, if you've any strength; I must request your aid in discerning if we have attracted unwanted attention. Afterwards, mark my words, we will gather ourselves to locate Conqvist's seer within the Palais ...β
She stared blankly at Lucius. Tears left the green orbs watery. Could she find the strength to do what he asked? She needed to.
Onatha focused. She saw no one paying attention to their general direction but there was something else, something in the air. That tickle at the back of her head, in her mind grew stronger and she tried to stifle it.
βWe are safe at the momentβ¦.β Her voice was quiet.
Ona looked to Lucius once more as he told her and the others to shed what they could. She looked down at herself. She had nothing, not even a weapon. She was as light in material as she would possibly be save for ridding herself of her clothing.
----
They moved through the sewers and while she should have been more disgusted by the environment around her Ona was far too busy looking.
Her mindβs eye traveled off in front of them, showing a clear path. Still that feeling persisted above all else. She could not focus on it though as if it were just out of her sight.
The group stopped. She came back to the sewer as Lucius placed a hand on her shoulder. His eyes moved to the chain before he spoke.
βI fear we may not much time and this maybe perhaps the only unguarded opening that won't draw any considerable attention towards our β¦ uninvited arrival. What can you see from above and β¦ what is the condition surrounding the Lord Sovereign's Seer?β
Onatha moved her head, looking slightly upwards. βThe seerβ¦β She stared off.
Around her others talked. She was focused on what lay beyond them.
βI see the palace...large..the sea on one side...such cliffsβ¦β
Uriel offered the suggestion of the cliffs. Ona stared off once more. βThe guards are expecting an attack but the cliff side is not as heavily guarded.β
Her pupil-less eyes shone in the light of his glowing hand. Her gaze shifted from his hand to the wall and back to Uriel.
The air was thick once again with accusation, distrust and fear. Everyone was on edge. Ona held her breath. Lucius moved, Uriel behind him. He asked her once more to look, to see what was happening beyond this sewer on the Palais grounds.
A slight hesitation, her own fear making her falter. She shook her head a little. There was more than just cliffs. She looked around extending her sight to its utmost limits.
βLucius, I can see the fire of the Chateau. There is singing...They praise Yadin-Hamon...There is a battle in the distanceβ¦β
Ona turned her head. Though she faced a wall she clearly was seeing more than its dank bricks.
βA stronghold, there is fighting thereβ¦β
She reigned her sight in and focused on the palace above them.
βSo many hiding spaces, so many secrets.β Ona whispered. In her mind she could see the shadows, the nooks and crannies. A place like this with its history held so much in those spaces. Loverβs whispered words or conspiracies of enemies. Ona shivered and forced her sight on.
Still that feeling in the back of her mind lingered. She thought perhaps she was imagining it but it felt as if it was getting stronger.
βI see those who are not what they appear. Crown Watch but not. They are not the people they should be. I have seen them before...Dark hair, dark eyes. They slaughter from horseback but now wear the garb of the Watch. But there are othersβ¦β
Her face became a mask of confusion. Onatha shook her head in disbelief. βSome...some are...it cannot beβ¦β
She closed her eyes, closing off the sight for a moment. Could it be? Had she truly seen her own people? Onatha took a deep breath. Lucius needed her help. She could not falter now. There would be time later for her to ponder what she saw. She felt a knot in her stomach but she would worry about it later. Right now she couldnβt possibly wrap her head around the repercussions of what she saw.
Opening her eyes again Ona stared off. βThe Palais is on alert. I see patrols. The towers and walls have many waiting, watching. They seem to be waiting...but not as if on duty but as if they are expecting something to come. They are patrolling.β
Her head crooked. βThere is a large network of corridors being built. They are working the people until they collapse. I can see them...I see completed chambers with weapons, supplies and medicine.β
Ona turned her head. βSo many weapons but for what?β
She frowned, green eyes clouded for a moment. βMore chambers. Voltas has many secrets. These lead deep underground. A-a vault. I see a massive vault..I do not know its purpose.β
Onatha inhaled deeply. She could feel her energy waning a little. The psychic battle with the other seer had taken a great deal out of her. This was feeling more taxing than it normally would.
βI do not see Conqvist. I-β
It was like bees moved about in her brain. Those around her would not feel it or see what she saw. Ona had been right, the feeling had been getting stronger and now, as she looked at the other seer it was at its strongest.
βI see her...the seerβ¦β She held her head, lightly squeezing in an attempt to make the sensations stop. βShe lays in a large chamber, deep in the palace. She is unconscious. There are many guards and many corridors. Like a maze. We will have to navigate these to get to her. She-β
Ona focused, her eyes narrowed. βShe lays there, alive but not conscious. Her room has many things but there is another corridor...what is-β
Her knees buckled as the sensation in her mind grew stronger. It wasnβt the seer. No, not the seer. The sensation was from whatever lay in the chamber down the corridor. She could not see there. She could not look further and the feeling was too strong. It broke her concentration.
With a small noise of annoyance she closed her eyes and cut her connection. βThere are many guards in the Palais. It will not be easy to get to her. They are all on high alert and it is a maze to get deep inside where she lays. There is more, there is something or someone else there nearby to her. It is a magic that is not like my own. It is elemental and it is blocking me.β
Ona could not help but look towards Uriel. Would he know? She could not ask him, not like this and at this moment. He was a stranger to her.
She looked at Lucius. βThat is what I see...β

First, apologies all and I beg patience as my post will not be ready until tomorrow.
My last few weeks have been rough.
My brother was diagnosed with prostate cancer and more tests reveal there is a strong chance of it being in his bladder as well. This has been rough on all of us and we live 8 hours apart so that doesn't help.
Work has been rough with managers leaving, sending members to the hospital by ambulance and members getting into fights and the police being called (I work at the YMCA)
Add to that I am teaching with the public school still and helping another school with their 100 year anniversary and it all means I have very little time at the moment to think about myself or my hobbies.
I am 3/4 done and will have time tomorrow to finish up. If you could please spare a tiny bit more patience I promise not to hold us up any longer.
Cheers,
Skulls

She had fully comprehended what was going on. Her mind shut down not that the seer was not pushing against her and vice versa. Ona was being carried and for that she grateful. She didnβt think she could walk, even if she tried.
Her hand was clutched tightly around the small item in it. The man had put it there, before he died. The man, one of her own people. She had lost hope that she would ever see anyone like her ever again. Now she was sure she was alone.
That thought filled her head as she closed her eyes and let the man carry her. She didnβt know where they were going but she did not care.
*****
Ona did not exactly sleep so much as simply pass out. She woke to find herself sitting against a wall of some kind. She stood, slowly and looked around. There were people everywhere. Lucius was talking.
She couldnβt help but note it was like he was holding court.
Moving off to the side she took a moment for herself. Lucius mentioned the seer and Ona wrapped her arms about herself. Her hand was still tightly wound around what she had been given. She was almost afraid to look at it.
Around her people talked, murmured and made plans. She was concerned with one thing.
Her fingers opened revealing the small, ornate whistle on a chain. She choked back a soft cry as she stared down at it. It was an Al Mayrin object. Nurlia. The tribe she was supposed to be married into, the marriage was supposed to help bring a truce to the fighting.
Ona bowed her head and her shoulders shook at the memories. Her family, her tribe, the fighting, the slaughter, her captureβ¦It all came flooding back.
She wasnβt even supposed to be here. Not now, not in this time. Yet here she was. Here this was. How or why she did not know but she knew that it mattered.
Ona wiped her face before slipping the necklace on. The cold metal rested against her chest as she tucked it into her dress.
Something else was bothering her but she couldnβt put her finger on it. Something poking at the back of her mind but she could not pinpoint what it was.
Swallowing she walked over to where Lucius stood. He was proposing that they strike out, find the seer. She shivered a little.
There was no question though, she would go with him and face this other seer. Some questioned a plan, some simply gave their arm to the cause. Ona did nothing more than put her hand on Lucius' arm, letting him know she was there and on his side.

Okay will work on a post for Ona this weekend. Gourmet if you have anything else I need to know regarding her object or anything in particular can you message me? Going to have her spending some time looking at it as well as pondering that little bothersome feeling she is having.

Onatha is staying with Lucius. He found her, he is her connection to everything and now she has a purpose.
Counter attack for Ona.

Here are my bullet points
-yay for a link to all pads
-happy to have a list of factions/nations, etc
-having a short list of player and character for easy reference would be a good idea, perhaps in the same location with the pad links so people can quickly reference who is where/doing what
-short posts with more character interaction rather than bogged down with overly descriptive paragraphs are preferable to me. I want to read about the place, the smell, etc but my main draw is the characters and what is going on for them.
-looking forward to seeing where the next part takes us and letting Ona figure out this world a bit more as well as finding a place in it. For now she has simply been with Lucius and trying to understand what is going on in a time that is not her own. Now, she has a use to him and others so that gives me more to write/interact more
Onatha-Al Mayrin seer from another time. Found by Lucius in the remnants of an old building.
