Aww... You should write the post you wanna write and not feel like you have to post something just to post. Zeroth seems to be wrestling with that storm, so there's no immediate rush I think - unless everyone else just wants to get a move on.

On a completely different note, just got back from the dentist.

So remember when I said I'd have to pay €100+ to get the tooth repaired? Haha, well, turns out I wa a bit off. It cost some €300+ to get that bad boy back up to snuff.

Guess I'm eating tinned beans and tap water for the rest of this month...

Augh, I bit off a piece of my tooth during dinner today. Luckily I think it's just a bit of an old filling, since it doesn't hurt (yet). But going to the dentist and paying some €100+ to get it fixed is gonna sting in the old wallet. T-T

Ehhh, I would say that considering the commoner-to-noble population in the world itself, we are more than well-represented in terms of the blue-bloods.

Hush you. You just don't want more competition for Kreszenz and her coup attempts at becoming KEENG. :P

Most of the characters in the story at this point are broody, moody, gloomy types with sad, sad backstories. There're a few exceptions, but the majority aren't happy people. So I think an upbeat, bright and jovial person would be welcome, personally.

Urgh, that blows. I've had that happen to me when I accidentally closed down the tab I was writing in, or my browser just decided to crash. I feel your pain. :<

Vanessa had let out a surprised "Ahnn~?!" when her butt got smacked by the man who came sailing past. Initially thinking it just a petty gesture of 'Well, if I'm gonna slam into the wall, the least you can do is let me feel up your butt!'-deal. However, after the slap, a sudden drowsinessx came over her, and she felt herself get weaker at an alarming pace, the dark mage knew something more was afoot here. Looking back, she spotted the little slip of paper that had been attached to her (shapely and squsihy) rear end. While many monsters would've been outraged or had their pride hurt, Vanessa just smiled.

"You cheky devil."

She couldn't muster much more than that though, s she felt so drained and woozy now that she had to get down into a sitting position. She didn't recall much more beyond that for a bit. She thought she heard the voice of Mr. McStudmuffin, as well as the cheers of the other men in the room, but it was all mostly just a garbled mess. Even when the armored soldiers came and each grabbed a seperate limb and hoisted her up, she didn't have the enrgy or presence of mind to even make a joke about 'four of you at once? Oh my~', or something of that nature.

And then, she was unceremoneously plopped into a transport circle.

Outside the Keep.

Plopping out on the other side of the circle of magic, Vanessa felt herself land on her butt. This small bump shook her senses back to at least demi-consciousness and she tried to stand with wobbly legs. Using her staff - which thankfully hadn't been confiscated as recompense for the dmagae cused to the castle - the dark mage slowly got onto her own two feet and looked around, a bit bleary-eyed.

Reaching back, she fumbled with her hand for a bit, before finally finding the culprit of all this and, just as one does with a bandaid, ripped at it. However, in her weakened state, it was more like a tug, and it took a few tries before she actually managed to yank the damn thing off her (supple) cheek. Only then, as the magic-sucking, monser energy-sealing talisman was removed, did Vanessa finally begin to realize where she was and what had transpired.

But, before she could make any real comment about it, she saw an excitable Iskah. Initially, things looked like they'd gone poorly, which would've been a big set-back for the sorceress. However... Then the little one exploded into a big smile and announced happy(?) news.

"... I... Do not... But I'm... happy for you....?" Vanessa's words were a bit slurred and her voice a bit unfocused, as were her eyes. If one didn't know any better, she might've sounded and appeared to be drunk. "But I can't wait... To hear you tell me... All ... about it..." She added, taking a few breaths inbetween her words. Her arms were both resting ontop of her staff and she was slightly leaning forward. It was fairly clear to see she wasn't her usual self at this point. Still, she managed to smile at Iskah nontheless.
