Wishful Stray

The Seven Seals (modern mythological mega-crossover RP)

Are there any restrictions on Early Egyptian Mythos?

And I'm with Frozen on the idea it be fun having another player taking lead on the human counterpart.

The Sha'Ai Disciplines

Possibly interested as well.

Lantern

Come Away To The Water

I like this version of the song for Lantern, if it's not too late for me to jump on the music wagon.

The Seven Seals (modern mythological mega-crossover RP)

Definitely interested, though I don't have a solid idea on what type of character I'd like to go with just yet ~

Terra Magica (Open/Accepting Players!)

Sorry it was so late~

Terra Magica (Open/Accepting Players!)

"Don't worry, we'll have a guard escort them home."

The cheerful and friendly voice did nothing to soothe the mage's disposition, the man's smile was merrily plastered on his face as he vainly tried to deal with Elysia's rising annoyance. It had been one thing after another this morning and all she wanted to do was gather her charges and head home, she couldn't care less about being selected to join an expeditionary team.

Clawed fingers tapped out a quick rhythm on her gauntlet as she stood there glaring at the man, the same glare that had split the lines in front of her making her ascent to the front rather painless though honestly she wouldn't have minded waiting in line if she had known beforehand just how troublesome this entire situation would be. As soon as she had reached the table the cheerful man had all too happily informed her that she would need to report to the Silos to meet up with others who had been chosen for this honor as well. She could tell he was someone who loved Ambrosia wholeheartedly and thought anything to do with it was divined from God himself; the more he talked about needless things the more she wanted to punch him in the face but she had to behave after all.

"They'll run the moment they see a guard, it be better if I did it."

Her voice left little room for argument, but the recruiter just waved his hand as if dismissing her concern.

"Then well send someone who doesn't look like a guard, you really should get going Miss Elysia, I'm sure they don't want to be kept waiting and I'm sure you're actually eager to join in on this aren't you?"

Her eyes started to reflect a lighting storm mimicking the agitation brewing inside her, if this was back out in the desert she would've killed him by now but that was a long time ago and she couldn't lash out as easily.

Fahd yawned in brushing against his mistress completely uninterested in the argument the woman in front of them was having with the recruiter his tail slowly flicking back and forth in the dust. He and his mistress had followed the small woman with the sword as she forced a path to the front of the line, his calm eyes looked up towards his mistress and she seemed amused by the situation in front of them. Her clothed hand affectionately scratched behind his ear before she coughed stepping forward again slamming her hand down on the table making the recruiter jump and gaining a curious glance from the raven haired woman.

"Look, how about we just drop the propaganda, hmm? There are others in line, and no one wants to hear you rattle on about how great this project is. It's a bit of a turn off."

Arwan's cold voice seemed to drop the temperature around the trio as she mockingly plastered a merry smile on her face staring down the recruiter. Seeing him now she could understand the annoyance the other woman had towards him.

"How about you just write my name down as well,and I'll bring her back after she brings the kids home?"

Her words were lost on the man as he scrambled through his papers obviously looking for something, muttering to himself and glancing up at the pair of woman looking at him with such annoyance. Honestly he didn't sign up to get harassed, why did he have to tell people what to do all he wanted to do was write down peoples names and join in the jolliness of this expedition. The list he was given crumbled under his hand as he read it biting his lower lip, a nervous tick, and two strong willed women teaming up on anyone was nerve-racking indeed.

"You're Arwan, right?? The beast tamer! You're suppose to go to the Silos as well."

It came out as a rushed breath but the message got across none the less. Elysia tilted her head taking the time to actually look over her new friend, it was obvious to tell she was a hunter but the news about her going to the Silos as well was strange and caught the young mage's interest. Arwan's eyebrows raised sharply, she was used to being told what to do and where to go but to be sent to join some mysterious group put together by the higher ups was like being toyed with set her nerves on edge.

"I'll get paid the same either way, yes? Then fine."

Her reply was blatantly nonchalant to his eager attempt to get ride of the both of them, sighing she scratched behind Fahd's ears again before looking at the woman next to her, she couldn't get a good read on her not that she could use her for anything at the moment.

"I'm sure you kids'll get back safely, we should go at least see what this is about before turning it down, hmm?"

Elysia sighed not in the mood to argue anymore with the recruiter but didn't care enough to get into another argument with someone else; the line behind them was getting agitated as well. Sighing she let out a long string of unpleasantries under her breath before giving in nodding slightly much to the happiness of the recruiter who quickly called up the next person blatantly ignoring anything else the two had to say or do with him. Arwan snorted shaking her head before tapping the swordswoman on the shoulder.

"Let's go."

Smirking slightly she shook her head before following the huntress, curiously observing the large cat stalking along side her. Wordlessly they walked through the crowded streets, neither one of them bothering to talk or offer up anything about themselves. The large red buildings slowly started to come into view as the pair reached the group both of them falling back to the outskirts, Arwan moving to lean against one of the tubular structures, Elysia merely stood there crossing her arms a look of displeasure clearly on her face.

Lantern

A genuine burst of laughter filled the air as the red head watched the small child be berated and hugged at the same time before homesickness gripped at her chest, the scene reminded her of her mother when her and her twin would come home late covered in scratches. She smiled shaking her head genuinely pleased that she was able to see the boy safely home.

"I'm just happy that he's safe. I found him tied to a tree..."

Aslynn waved off the warrior woman's thanks, turning slightly so that she had a clear view of the three that had joined the trio. While it was nice to not be attacked on sight and the idea of taking a breath appealed to her, she was in a foreign place and knew nothing of what was going on and how she got there so relaxing and letting her guard down was a luxury she couldn't afford. A bright blush flooded her cheeks as Cod gushed about her making the sun, she knew the signs of admiration very well and quickly shook her head wanting to turn down the invitation of hospitality trying to maintain her image as someone that didn't want to get to involved but her stomach had other ideas letting out a distressed growl only deepening the blush on the young woman's cheeks.

"Ah, it's nice to meet you Miss Rhea, as Cod said my name is Aslynn......and I really wouldn't mind something to eat..."

The last part came out in a rushed low voice as she toed the ground sheepishly, but the woman was right a mountain of questions had done nothing but pile up since she got here and everything that had happened had only added to the pile doing little to reduce her quarries. Seeing Cod's eager look she flashed him a smile, having always been good with kids, before taking stock of the people who she managed to run into. They were well armored, well better armored than the ones from earlier nor did they have mask or speak in that strange canter, nor did they seam adverse to iron like the pair of children who she had first ran into.

This place was strange, and it felt like she was trying to mimic a dance she knew nothing about, at least this woman was offering to answer some of her questions, how ever truthful those answer might be Aslynn didn't know.

Unquiet

The air around her had become heavy with a mix of rage and a desperate hunger, the offering of gems glittering in front of her did little to dispel it. So transfixed she paid little attention to the going on around her, the strange witch leaving to scramble up the wall after the quiet one, the two new comers scrambling out of their coffins. It was like time had stopped, the singing, the crashing, the orge's insistent banging all had become muffled and had faded out.

The only things that existed were her, the false god, and the abyss.

All Nali could see was the gems, and with each passing grain of time her control slipped more and more. It wasn't like she had many options, takes Rshalogg's offer and be damned with another affliction outside her control, let the hunger win and possible consume those around her, climb the wall and perhaps be able to control herself until by some miracle she found more gems, or take the suicidal route and attempt to consume the ogre at least that way it would be killing two birds with on stone. A low growl rumbled in her throat in annoyance at the situation, at herself for being caught in the first place, at the witch who caused all of this, at her parents for being poor. She stood there berating herself into self pity and hate for what seemed like ages but in truth only a few seconds had slowly ticked by.

The shrill singing broke through her thoughts as another chunk of the Stone came crashing down mere inches from where she was standing. As much as the jewel thief loved to fool herself about escaping of her own volition she wasn't that naive, yet still her mind ran through each option all of them ending up with her dead at very least, but with the false god she had a chance to live a little longer and perhaps that should be enough for her.

"What do you mean by host?"

The question slipped out from her chapped lips, her eyes still feasting on the offered jewels, to anyone else she probably seemed as someone obsessed with wealth and she had no inkling to explain her situation; the idea of standing in a damned building arguing terms with demon struck her as strange and a soft pearl of laughter bubbled up from her, though the laughter was laced with a taste of panic and resignation.

Another crash found itself drowned out by the hysterical singing, it filled Nali's head swarming her senses until only the hunger was strong enough to withstand. She had to get out of her and if she had to be damned once more to live than so be it, a slender hand snatched out and just as quickly a sapphire disappeared pooling and melting across the woman's tongue soothing the rage and hunger for now.

"The gems and a way out and I'll agree."

Both her tone and her eyes had a calmness to them, like one resigned to their fate to die, a lying smile plastered across her face as she stuck her hand back out like one would for a handshake.

"Let's not waste time, hmm? I don't feel like dying here."

Being sick is the absolute worst, but have a post? :3

Demon Daydreams and Schemes

The fallen leaves crunched lightly underfoot as she made her way back up the shrine steps, a sense of surrealism surrounding her. The area looked just like it always did, there was no sign of the wild dash they had made only yesterday. A half-hearten greeting left her lips as she passed the shrine, the old priest was out sweeping again and she didn't have the heart to tell him that it never did any good. Her dark colored eyes searched the area looking for something that proved that yesterday had happen besides the watch attached the her wrist.

'This isn't a dream....maybe I'm hallucinating? Or it could be an elaborate hoax...'

She frowned at how unsure her thoughts sounded, she knew if she opted to voice them out loud they would sound just as ridiculous as she felt for even allowing herself to think them. She chided herself for not wanting to believe in something so strange when she was always reading books and trying to convince the others it was real. But having a hobby wasn't the same, her conviction was lacking now that she had to face reality. Sighing her eyes focused on the red leather bound book, at first it looked on worse for ware, yet as she got closer she noticed the dirt grounded into it like it had been stepped on by something large. Whatever it had been it was definitely a lot larger than any of her friends.

'The Oni.'

She didn't have a viable reason for anything else leaving that mark, a shaky hand circled around the book before drawing it close to her person. Looking up she realized that she had reached the path at the back of the shrine, the same path they had walked up eagerly yesterday for their picnic. She stood there torn; her curiosity in fight with her survival instinct screaming that it was a very bad idea to continue up that path. Her feet shuffled as she took another tentative steps forward, nothing but normal sounds of the forest surrounding her bolstering her courage to keep marching up the steps.

The farther she got a long the more she felt like something was watching her, the hair on the back of neck seemed to stand up straight as goosebumps raced down her arm. A loud snap from the left caused her to jump in surprise, her footing slipped sending her tumbling back down the steps a hiss of pain escaping her lips. The tattered book was still clutched in her hand as she groaned sitting up holding her head.

"I got it, going up there is a no go..."

She grumbled out loud to whoever cared to listen, if she couldn't go up then she should at least head towards the Community Center to meet up with the others as promised.

10:15am

The tattered book laid sprawled out over pale colored legs, stains of grass and twigs clung to the chocolate shaded skirt continuing up towards Sayuki's white blouse; her hair and glasses were tilted forward as she continued to read sitting aimlessly on a small bench. Her appearance had a calm disheveled look as if she had spent the better part of the morning out hiking or exploring a forest patch. A small scratch flushed red, angry and determined to make it's presence known sending a twinge of pain out every time the young musician moved her head.

Bright gold letters shimmered on the pages, happy drawings danced on the opposite page, how funny to think that yesterday such a fairy tale was nothing more than a myth, but perhaps there was more truth to it then she had believed. The childish watch was still tightly fastened to her wrist all to happy to remind her that yesterday wasn't a strange dream from reading too many of her father's books.

The towering bulletin board gleamed brightly in response, it was unblemished and beckoned travelers towards it with temptations of rewards and adventure; post of request and needs for any of the townsfolk brave enough to try and ascertain. The girl had looked over them briefly earlier, her breath coming out in short burst and gasps, she was surprised to see she was the first of the group to reach the Community Center normally Natazume was the most punctual one after all.

Leaning back against the wall she sighed softly, her hand slipping into her pocket toying with Whisper's coin wondering if she should summon him to relieve the build up of questions circling her mind; her limbs still felt heavy sore and in protest to the unwanted run they had to suffer yesterday, her brain felt sluggish as she yawned softly her eyes slowly drifting close as the book stayed safely nestled on her lap merely waiting to be picked back up.

A peaceful breeze blew through the Center as Saki gave into the impulse to nap while waiting on the others.
