The beginning of the voyage saw Wyndressa bundled in blankets, secured in sheets, wrapped in rolls, until she'd cocooned herself. And like a cocoon; Wyn slowly emerged and fixed herself up.
@Rune_AlchemistThe first thing she took note of, was that slice of cake on what would count for a nightstand. Poking it revealed its... Unusual nature. Thus, Wyn had a perfect metaphor for Shoggoths: They look good, and partaking of them would be nothing but pleasure... In the moment. But, when pleasure left, there would only be regret. So, it was left alone.
She did make a point of trying to make small talk with the others on the ship... First by apologizing for what came out during her half-sleeping stupor.
@NoblebanditYes, that included angel boy. The uniform of Eros made her feel all the more stupid. Yet his demeanor was... Off. Did her threat to sew his mouth shut really put him off that much? She'd have to find another way to make amends.
@RestalaanAnd now an Orc was among them, too. A male Orc at that. By this point, this had stopped being a surprise, no more pleasant. Some of her relatives was part Orc. No Chimera Clan gettogether would be complete without a fight breaking out between one of cousins, and her sister, Berasa
Thankfully it was nightfall when they made landfall. And they had walked into the beginnings of a war.
For the time being, Wyn only had eyes for the beach. The atrocities committed by the Varjan empire had been too many to list. Wyn's "father", Victoria, hell, even her "Grandfather", and her "father" before her had stories of their encounters with the Varjans. The heads they'd taken had a place in the estate's trophy room, right alongside some of the most vicious monsters Chimera huntresses had slain.
Somewhere down there, whether on one of those ships, or even in the battlefield, Hilda was down there. At least, Wyn
hoped she wasn't.
“Wyndressa, Lunatea, Samael, Skarsneek, Hinami, and Cambiel. You’ll be intercepting the Varjan squad heading towards the village. Defend them at all costs, and buy the villagers time to escape. Wyndressa, you’re on point!” He said as he pointed in the direction of Sanjo Town.
Wyn could have pinched herself. But, there was no time to argue; between his team descending the hill -But, not without Atsuha handing something off to Lunatea, and the other force heading right to a village of fucking civilians!
"Right, then!" Wyn announced,
@Hammerman"Luna, Hinami: Two stick together, then! Hinami, you cover the bunny, and Luna you keep that magic paper on 'er 'ead!"
"Wynn right? I'll snag them from the dark." He quickly explained his plan, since the darkness will be to his advantage. He then turned to the rest and gestured for them to head for the village instead. "You all should warn them. The ones that look close to a human, they'll trust you more."
"Well good, ye' read me mind!" Wyn snorted.
”And leave you to face them alone? Not likely!” the angel scoffed. ”I’m coming with you. We can slow them down more if there are two of us. And besides, maybe seeing me might show them they’re on the wrong side”
Isn't it lovely when your underlings do the thinking for you?
"Good! You two don't get killed on ye' honeymoon!" She teased.
That just left the bunny, the jiangshi, and the demon boy.
"Well, first thing's first, we got's to find whoever's in charge and get'em to 'elp us get those villagers outta there!"
"Hey wait for me!"
Then a thought occurred. "Wait, 'old up!" Wyndressa bade the demon boy. "Don't think ye' got the right gear to handle 'em cunts wit' just the butter knife! You'll probably do better if ya' go wit' 'em other two!"
Which would mean it'd just be her, the other two girls, and whatever the village could spare. But, the point wasn't to fight, so much as help them escape. Once the villagers were clear, Wyn could worry about the Varjan forces. If she couldn't beat some answers out of the bastards, she'd at least be able to vent some righteous outrage on them.
Their blood should keep her strong enough for the fight.
