Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Walked off my laser wound and posted! Originally I meant to have some more theorizing but figured Fellwing wouldn't really stop to monologue in the middle of a potential emergency, so went with something that kept the flow better.

Edit: Ninja'd damnit! But ooohh, this is potentially personal for Skobe then.

OFFICE WARS!

Heh, no pressure with the morning coffee service, Netsu! None. At. All.

OFFICE WARS!

will edit my post in here later then so this doesn't go to waste |D

Ayumi is a goal-oriented career woman and has an aura of such. She's a no-nonsense employee who lets nothing get between her and work well done, holding both herself and others to an extremely high standard. Expect no praise from her, no matter how well you do; at the end of the day, a cleared out to-do list is its own reward. Only children need constant reassurance. Besides, if she wasn't happy with your contribution, you would know about it.

She isn't one to follow rules just for the sake of following them, and doesn't care what people do during their free time. She's uninterested in engaging in a game of tatemae, and will readily share her honest thoughts of the people around her - unless it's a customer, of course. The customer is always right. If they disrespect her or hers however, the customer is right, and soon out of business.

Due to her assertiveness, she tends to trample over people who can't stick up for themselves. She's used to being in charge, but surprisingly enough doesn't mind taking a step back and letting someone else handle a situation if it seems like they're well-suited for it. In fact, if someone else is better than her at something, she is the first to bring attention to it. There is no greater sin than inefficiency; right tool for the right job, as they say.

She respects people who can think for themselves and don't just blindly follow bad ideas, but also expects people to show respect when and where it's due. Ayumi won't tolerate people breaking any rules that might disrupt workflow or prove an inconvenience for others. What you do in your personal life is none of her business, but if you're late for a meeting, you will find yourself defenestrated at her earliest convenience.

It should be noted that despite her coldness, Ayumi does have a sense of justice, and she is willing to protect her own fiercely. She will not let workplace bullying slide, and has been the last thing many corrupt higher ups see before they get reported from here to next week. Do your job and do it well, and you have a place under her wing.

When Ayumi feels determined and ready to get down to work, something miraculous occurs...

 D E A L I N G

^{▶ V O I C E O F A U T H O R I T Y}

Ayumi's primary power lies in her voice. Ever since the magic sip, her already authoritative voice has been enhanced to a supernatural degree. Her shout can stun and cause pain to even the paranormal, and especially those with weaker wills tend to feel obliged to do as they're told, or at the very least, not act in direct opposition. She can only focus her base power on one target at a time, and the greater control she wishes to have, the longer she has to talk to them.

^{▶ C A F F E I N A T E D}

Depending on the type of coffee she consumes, Ayumi gains temporary boosts and alterations to her primary power. They wear off gradually until she consumes another cup. The biggest drawback is that she needs access to the various coffees she uses, and while she would like to think she can drink endlessly, even she has her limits...

• Black: Her voice booms out many times louder, creating destructive shock waves that can crush concrete. This is not discreet however, nor can she dictate what does and doesn't get demolished. Hope no one's antique vases were that way.
• Espresso: A shot of espresso and a quick whistle; those are the ingredients for a high speed, high accuracy sound bullet that travels faster than sound, striking a target even far away with deadly force. Double espresso allows her to fire two shots.
• Americano: Diluting coffee with water? But why? Confusing! And so are the enemies that need to listen to Ayumi after she's had a sip of this coffee variant. Those that listen her for too long might even attack their own, or act in an otherwise irrational way. Just like the people who invented this coffee serving...
• Mocha: Time for a sugar rush! The non-stop blabbering Ayumi engages in after this variant seems to somehow fuel her and her allies, increasing their productivity for a short period of time. Time to get those reports in before the effect fades and you're left with sore typing fingers.
• Macchiato: Ayumi's voice turns into a lure, attracting creatures both living and not towards her. This can also pacify and mellow out some hostile targets.
• Irish: Surprisingly enough, Ayumi has low alcohol tolerance. Just a little bit, and she starts speaking in tongues, intermingled with words that would make any grandmother shudder. Coincidentally, this power works on creatures other than grandmothers as well, filling them with a sense of dread that has them flee from her through any means possible.
• Water: It's not coffee, but everyone needs to hydrate. Water resets her powers, cleansing earlier effects.

Secretary at middle management

^{S K I L L S / A B I L I T I E S}

• Intimidating sort of charisma - when she talks, you listen.
• Has dirt on most of the employees - how? That's what you'd like to know.
• Did judo as a teen, still got it - you should've seen how that one creep flew.
• Resourceful - if there's a problem, there will be a solution.
• Can survive on 4 hours of sleep - shut up, she's fine.
• Access to middle management's files - they really should keep better tabs on them.
• Able to juggle three calls at once - it went up to four once.

^{E X T R A}

• Goes to yoga class just for the gossip.
• Rumour has it she has blackmail on the middle manager she works for, and therefore has a lot of sway on the department.
• Hates tea, it's just wannabe coffee with twice the hassle.
• Likes cats; they don't like her. Come to think of it, no animals do.
• Drinks her coffee black.
• AB blood type. You've been warned.
• Is a smoker. Go ahead, bring up how unladylike it is. She dares you.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

𝐹𝑒𝓁𝓁𝓌𝒾𝓃𝑔

__________________________________________________

Garrock didn't seem impressed by Shieldwing's suggestion - on the contrary, he got even more irritable than before. Well, she'd tried. Hopefully the red drake wouldn't take the elder dragon's dismissal too harshly. She had a feeling that no matter what they did, they weren't going to hear any praise from the old coot. Unless, perhaps, they actually managed to rescue the missing dragons.

Then there was Skobeloff, who wanted to run off on his own. But while he seemed to have the means to come back if need be, Fellwing couldn't help but worry. She fiddled with her claws. Perhaps it was time to consult a higher power. A terrible, loathsome power.

She closed her eyes and saw darkness. A moment later, Darkness saw her.

Fellwing didn't know how long she was unaccounted for, lost in one scene after another, but when the last of them faded, she snapped back to reality with a gasp. She still wasn't used to the feeling her visions left behind; the feeling of being watched by the very darkness she had peered into, but the urgency of the situation left her little room to stay shaken for long. The dots were connecting, but even as she was still reeling, the details of what she saw begun to dissipate. And they had no time to waste besides.

"Stargaze," she looked to the youngest of their clutch first, voice compassionate. "Echo-- is well. I can see she's just as kind as you've told. She's tending to an injured dragon. One... that has been touched by whatever plagues this place. I'm sorry, Stragaze, I should have mentioned it sooner. Something is wrong. There is a curse, a sickness, a something magical that spreads here. Dark veins, irrational behaviour, a coldness; these are the lot of the infected. The Capital should cure it, or so Echo hopes. I'm sure she can tell more about what has been happening. Be sure to ask about a stranger in the hollow, as well."

She turned to Skobeloff, urgency written on her features. "There are survivors left still at the stronghold, but they might be in danger as we speak. Or perhaps they already were, or they have yet to be. My visions are not always clear. Their elders led them - the infected, I presume - deeper into the forest. Even so, you should not go alone. If Shieldwing goes with Stargaze, then I shall go with you. Pleexem and Tamba; they'll be who we look for."

Finally, she turned to Shieldwing. "You will accomplish great things here. When the time comes - when they swarm us, you will fight back-to-back with him," she looked briefly to the dragon with them, then nodded back at the red drake. "And he will see your worth."

Ha, working on my post after food. Just gotta figure out what to do with this gaping laser hole in my chest...

OFFICE WARS!

I'll hop in a little after the start if that's okay! Hectic work week, haven't had a chance to finish.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Sorry for the lack of a post still, this week's deadline week at work and the 10+ hour days are kicking my ass, haha. Have had to do all writing stuff gradually in small increments, but I'll finish tomorrow, I swear! 8I
