After a few minutes of waving the stick around, nobody came out, or even peered through the window. It was peculiar, who would set up a barrier like this? ...Perhaps someone who didn't want a specific species in. While her practical magic skills were not especially notable, her magic theory was fairly good. She recalled that demons of many sorts were often adversaries to Magicians and Magic Practitioners, the magic used often beckoning to them. Or a foolish Magician seeking a fast road to power might speak to a demon in hopes of gaining its powers, usually failing. This meant someone in the tavern is adept in demonology! Ihri hoped. She had a few questions about the behaviors of natural based demons in various Animism religions that she thought of during the trip here.
Black was a warrior. An old one. He remembered many fights. Much death and blood. Yet this girl... She was not death or blood. Black and Green taught her to fight. Too many innocents who did not know how to fight, died. He did not want her to die. He wanted to protect, like she was his own. This wall of magic in front of his was something he knew. It came from Riftology practices, from Demon Hunters. Powerful warriors.
Black looked over his shoulder. A noise, light and heavy. He saw a wolf, but no wolf pack. Strange. A warforged is its pack? They were strong. No blood, but run by magic. Could cut limbs off, but they still charged. He sensed no hate, no bloodlust, seeing only curiosity. Black still put his hand on the hilt of his sword. Sheathed on his hip. Gripped his shield. Ready for combat. Many scenarios ran through his mind. He must block both wolf and warforged, wolf first. Wolf is fa-
"What a cute wolf!" Ihri declared rather loudly, her attention was now directed away from the Tavern and to the two newcomers. She jogged over them, beaming with delight. She hadn't seen company other than Black or Green in several weeks. And while they made fine company, they weren't quite capable of speech. Black lifted his hand from the hilt of his sword once he saw that the Warforged and his wolf were definitely not hostile, making a noiseless sigh of relief, he followed at a much slower pace than the quicker moving magician. As soon she got there, she looked up and down the mossy Warforged, making a very obvious statement. "You're a Warforged!" She spoke, as if she had just realized, "I've never seen one in person! You're much taller than I thought you would be." She stated in wonderment, looking up at the Warforged's head. Suddenly she looked at him in the eyes with determination, "I must examine you. In the tavern, there will be chairs and tables!" She pointed towards the worn down building. It should be safe, she thought. If it was meant to keep out demons then all of them would be able to walk through harmlessly.

Yeah @Idemus046, I'll be posting within 24 hours so we can get inside the tavern, just a heads up to when I'll be posting.
Something that reminded me of the Astra Miliwhatnow Imperial Guard.
Also, would it be rude of me to ask for an ETA on when I can jump in IC? No rush ofc.
When we get back to a safehouse, we're almost out of the current mission I think.
Ihri lugged her satchel over the log, clearly winded. Black however, had merely stepped over the log, and was silent. As always. Once on the log, Ihri sat down to catch her breath, in her sight, some hundred meters away was a rugged and worn down tavern. A tavern that was almost invisible just twenty minutes of travel back. She had begun to doubt Uncle Bones' directions, right up until she sat down. Still, that tavern would probably need some work. What kind of people would be in such a worn down tavern in the middle of nowhere? Bandits... Criminals... Thieves... Hooligans! She frowned, finding that her will was wavering. They could kidnap her and ransom her, or make her do unthinkable things! She felt a light tap on her shoulder which took her out of her own little world, finding that Black had already stepped down from the log. Right! Black and Green would protect her, they're strong, and Uncle Bones would never send her to get a job at a place with criminals in it. She felt will coming back, leaping up, "Right!" She exclaimed, she stepped forwards with a renewed rigor. With Black following.
After a few steps, Black suddenly stepped. Ihri stopped as well with a 'huh', and a puzzled look on her face. Black would only stop on his own when she should take notice of something. She looked around, first at the bar, then at the ground, then behind her. What could it be? After a moment, then she noticed the something strange about the energy of the atmosphere. Ah! A shield! Or net. Or illusion field. She raised both of her hands and muttered something. A small buzz of static was heard and she sighed, she knew there was something there, a magic she knew but never studied. And she could identify it more easily if it was visible, but her reveal had failed miserably.
There was only one way to find out. She grabbed a small pebble and tossed it through the field. It merely landed on the ground. Meaning it wasn't a disintegration field of some sort, so she grabbed a nearby twig and waved it through the magical net, like knocking. Except with a twig, and through a magic she had little idea of. She hoped that the person who had set it up was listening.

Soph heard a distant announcement from under her tree, she perked up to try and hear it better.
"Students of Arcana, we are pleased to announce that you may now head to the auditorium if you have finished your testing. If you have not been tested yet, we shall try to get you through the process quickly before sending you there. The first announcements of the year will take place in just a short while. Again, all students who have finished their testing must go to the auditorium. Seating is to be followed as such..."
The announcement then began to list the seating order just as Soph began to stand. First years were to go to the first and second rows, the closest to the stage. She walked rather hastily over to the auditorium hoping that there were a few good seats left.
Once she arrived, she saw that many of the students were already present and that the first row was mostly filled already. Thankfully the second row still had some seats left. She looked around, searching for people she knew. Already having spotted Atticus, it was kind of easy to spot him. After a second, she saw Loki, with frustration clearly seen on his face. She guessed his annoyance stemmed from the horde of students still standing and chatting, looking for seats. She dived into the wave of students, pushing and body-checking other students to get to him, then she went to grab him by his sleeve. She gave him a small smile and motioned with her head that there was a seat open next to Atticus. She made her way towards the second row, paving a path through the mass of bodies for Loki. Once there, she asked the students to move over for her and Loki, with a smile on her face. The students moved over a seat, giving Soph and Loki both seats near Atticus.

when you get XCOM2 but can only run it at barely 10FPS but still have an amazing experience
i have to play XCOM2 on my laptop and get 5-12 FPS
Ehh seems pretty accurate in describing the day, but for the most part today has been alright.
By the way, I'll most likely be "busy" this Friday. Yes, the whole day, but I can still check up on, and maybe get things moving in a direction. At the moment, what you wish to explore is up to you, but pm me beforehand, and I'll let you know what you find.
