@SilverPaw In case it wasn't obvious, those're all "joke" theme songs. :P I've got a lot of free time on my hands after I get home from work, so I got time to spend on silly stuff like that. xD
@Agunimon Yaaay, another friend to play with! Welcome... Back(?)... Anywaddles, good to hav you back with us. :)
@Expllo Fun excersise, though I don't think I'll partake in it. Don't wanna risk making commentary or forming opinions on characters with my toon outside the IC. Never know if it'll spill over and lead to unintentional meta-gaming.
Poor Milla, she doesn't even get sympathy for surving through her entire family and household being massacred. That Hikari such a heroic guy~ ;)
I do enjoy Hikari's hypocrisy when commenting on Kreszenz. Just goes to show that Camilla's opinion on the ambitious is correct. 8D
"Oh\ Oh, my." There was a gentuine sound of surprise to Vanessa's voice when the foreigner-knight slammed his paper slip onto the ground and dispelled all magic in the area. The dark mage hadn't expected these Zipanguese 'scrolls' to have that sort of power, but now she somehow felt a even more pleased about having bought some of them from that little tanuki earlier. Still, now wasn't the time to concerned about whether she had buter's regret or not, because there was a man charging at her with a friggin' katana in his hands!
Also, that cowled knight was gonna get it for daring to cheer on this guy on! What sort of man doesn't cheer for the heroine!?
Still, while she could've chosent o use offensive magic to blast the fellow awy, or to at least make him back off or change direction, Vanessa still didn't want to actually hurt the poor sod. Nor did she want to cause any actual, lasting damage to the keep itself. Thus, there was only one option left. With a smarmy smile, she aimed her free palm down towards the ground infront of her.
"Grease."
A strange, brown-ish phere gathered infront of her hand, before flying off down at the floor... And exploding! .. In a wet... splattery... kinda gooey way... An equally brownish ... Oil? Sludge? ... Demi-liquid, started to spread from the point of impact, coating the floor and any neartby furniture that hadn't been knocked away by the gale earlier. If this man wanted to reach the sorceress, he'd have to either make a really, really, really long leap, or hope his footwear had some kind of anti-magic or friction-retaining enchantment. 'Cuz if they did't, stepping on grease was almost worse than stepping on ice.
... But, just in case he soemhow did manage to traverse the field of slippery goop, she made sure to stay on the ready. Ready to side-step or jump either left or right, should she absolutely need to.
Also, for everyones sake, Vanessa really hoped none of the other knights would have the bright idea of using fire, or shooting one of their guns or something like that. Because they last thing anyone wanted was for this oily substance to get ignited by a random spark and set the whole room ablaze!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, @imia i in da house! :D I also really enjoyed that post. Was worth the wait. :) And look, a cute girl came to talk to Camilla! I bet she'll be happy to swap her dwarf smoking conversational partner for this new, shiny and substantiually better-smelling one!
There we go, a little something from Camilla before things get all SRZ BZNZ. I originally misread Gunnar's name as GunnEr, and was like: Wow, obvious name for what he's going to is obvious! But it wasn't that obvious, I'm just a moron with lysdexia apparently. ^^;
Since the 4th of July's coming up this week, how many of you murricans are gonna be busy/away for that? Or, how're your schedules for this week looking overall? Should the rest of us who don't celebrate it be expecting any lull or singificant slow-down? Just checking~
@Zeroth Camilla never did visit the bathrooms, which - as we all already knew - meant that her words to Pompadouce about going to freshen up was nothing more than a polite way of getting the heck away from his sorry loser-ass. But leaving that sad sakc and his cronies far behind, Camilla proceed towards where the applicants and spectators were moving. When she reached the area where the groups of were being seperated, she gave a once-over to the crowd, before pmoving on past the gate and the large, imposing doors that were - for the time being - swung open, inviting the brave into the proverbial lion's den. Not that lions actually live in dens, that's a horrible misconception and doesn't actually make any sense. But enough about animal facts!
Moving along the arena floor, the young lady didn't seem at all interested in sharing in the activity of most others. Which is to say, scoping out or eyeing out the competition. Camilla's gaze and head remained largely still, as she gracefully kept on walking, until she found a suitable spot among the gathered where there was still room and folks were packed too tightly like sardines. It was at that point she noticed the handsome fellow with the long blue hair and the slight scar. This Alwin-fellow seemed to be drawing a lot of eyes.
However, to anyone paying close enough attention, Camilla didn't seem at all interested in checking out this young, objectively attractive and dignified young man, but rather... Her gaze seemed to fall on the gaggle of floozies who were sueeing and trying to cozy up to the stoic, unflinching fellow. A slight smile was on her face.
Then, out of nowhere, a voice spoke up, seemingly directed at her.
"Makes ya sick, don't it?"
A short, but brawny, dwarf person had appeared! Red doublet, bead darky eyes, had the beginnings of a beard, spurred boots - how unfashionable.... - and now he was lighting a smoking implement - next to me...? Ugh... - and then proceeded to speak some more.
"Gunnar Einsley." he introduced himself, holding out a rough palm to Camilla. "And if ya don't mind me sayin' so, you are the definition of high class."
"Bet you say that to all the girls." Camilla half-smiled, half-smirked, before extending her own, white-gloved hand and giving the pint-sized chimney a brief but gentle shake of the hand. "Camilla Azurios, by the way." Compared to her speech and mannerisms when interacting with Pompadour a few minutes ago, the young lady's demeanor seemed almost entirely different. She wasn't anywhere near as eloquent or refined in her speech, seeming instead much more laid-back and casual. "As for that --" She let her eyes wander over to Alwin (the chipmunk?) and his entourage again. "-- I think it's kinda cute." She gave a slight, quick and bright laugh.
Camilla then spared a moment to follow where this Alwin was gazing. A ... Balcony? Ah, yes. That must be where the esteemed judges of this spectacle were going to be watching from. The illustrious Captains of the Clover Kingdom's finest, most noble protectors and guardians. The same renowned and admirable heroes who, for five years, had made no meaningful progress in bringin the monsters who ruined her life to justice. No, she shouldn't think that way. That wasn't why she was here today... Luckily, these bitter, dark thoughts and feelings were kept inside, and didn't mange to bubble up or show on her impeccable surface. Her gaze quickly left the currently vacant balcony and returned to the guy called Gunner. Or was it Gumball? Bah, who cares! She just needed to entertain any further comments until this whole thing got started.
She could do that.
... Wait, was that...?
Oh, isn't that the cute red-head boy from before? She spotted a familiar ... Face? No, it wans't his face that was familiar. Just his hair. It seemed he was here to participate as well. It wasn't until that moment that Camilla realized somehting very important though!
She looked down into her left hand, spotting the little wooden badge with her number on it. With an amused giggle at her own scatterbrained self, she moved the little piece to one of the buttons on her dress, and with some quick fingers, attached it. After all, the thing wouldn't do much good if nobody could see it once things got started.
Actions & Interactions: - Camilla entered into the coloseum proper and joined the other Magic Knight applicants in waiting for the exam to start. - She spotted a dude flocked by followers, and spent a litle time oggling his female followers. - She spoke a little with a fellow named Gunnar, who had initiated conversation with her. - She took a look at the balcony where the Captains would be watching from, and had some dark, spiteful thoughts. - She spotted Tristan's hair in the crowd. - She ralized she hadn't properly attached her wooden badge to herself yet, and proceeded to fix that.
@Expllo@Remram Sad to say, but Camilla doesn't have any interest in where other people end up in the Magic Knights, so she wouldn't relaly make her own list of where she thinks any of the other applicants may go. Her life revovles around her, after all. xD
As for where I think your characters would end up, I've mostly just based it on personality and/or apperance, rather than anything substantial - since I don't know anything about the MK Captains, or what each of the Orders are like in this 150 year time-skip. ^^
But, hey, if you want to see my silly and completely arbitrary list, I can share it.
Tristan - Black Bulls, Coral Peacocks or Crimson Lion-Kings
Hikari - Black Bulls, Purple Orcas or Green Mantis.
Illios - He could go anywhere, because he's got a rare magic.
Ludo - Green Mantis, Black Bulls, Purple Orcas or (unlikely) Crimson Lion-Kings.
Kohra - Aqua Deer, Blue Rose or Black Bulls.
Kreszenz - Silver Eagles, Blue Rose or Crimson Lion-Kings.
Solveig - Golden Dawn, Silver Eagles, Crimson Lion-Kings or Blue Rose.
Albie - Green Mantis, Black Bulls, Purple Orcas or Aqua Deer.
