I think the group was pretty large to begin with at that point, so this should be okay to go with who's left.

[Kalamadea]

I'm still here to spectate and just hang out in general, though I may (keyword, may) jump back in. My interest in roleplaying has kinda sorta started coming back.

[JonxlatheLion]

i'm here, sorry for the really late reply, life has been hectic... don't ya count me out just yet!

[Baklava]

Ah okay. Are ya sure? If life's too crazy, you can always jump back in later, Jon

Chapter 2 : A Grave Situation

A Skull Kid by the name of Ekra wanders into Kakariko Village. A man by the name of Angus, selling his wares at the festival, meets Ekra and the two become instant BFFs. Their meeting is abruptly interrupted by what appears to be a tall man covered in armor—a darknut named Maryev who, yearning for something to eat, pushes his way indignantly through the crowd. A fight nearly breaks out when Angus confronts him, but the two part ways in mere frustration.

Lethe continues bossing people around—or attempting to, rather. She convinces Izzaz to visit an old woman named Madame Astrid and retrieve an artifact from her. Magus refuses to go looking for Lethe's Chosen Ones and is instead inclined to wait by the Shadow Temple's entrance, where he feels an ominious presence festering from inside.

Upon being rescued, Jira instantly flees from the dingy basement in shame. Cain pursues him in an effort to lure him to the graveyard. Felicia, left alone, takes pity on one of her captors and tends to his wounds—narrowly managing to escape as a result. She lingers by the fountain, debating whether or not she wants to get mixed up with a “shady” character like Cain whilst Nil casually captures her torment as another drawing inside his sketchbook. Frore, not but a few feet away and caring little for Lethe’s demands, discovers the joy of eating. Having finally convinced Jira to get with the program, Cain goes on to usher Frore to the graveyard and convince Felicia to go there as well.

Zephyrus the Shiekah and Archer the Shiekah halfling are found by Veitaru meandering about Kakakriko as they hope to find out why their dreams had summoned them there. Veitaru begins to lead them back to the graveyard—ultimately leaving them behind in her haste, coupled with their leisurely pace. [x] [x]

Meanwhile, Nil’s attempts to escape the oddity of seeing a Shiekah like Zephyrus walking about and a crude woman of the licentious variety named Yolanda confronts him. She invites him to the graveyard under the guise of needing someone to do a family portrait for a fat sum of rupees.

Izzaz runs into an old "bedmate" on his way to Madame Astrid’s— and is grudgingly distracted. Damn women with their wiles and such, am I right? He opts not to follow through with Lethe's demands.

Just as Jira, Frore, and Cain arrive at the graveyard, Lethe quickly departs to go about finding the other Chosen Ones she spoke of—as does Cain shortly after.

Maryev sits himself down outside of the graveyard to devour his meal just before Felicia enters. She skirts by fearfully whilst Cain watches. Noticing that Maryev seems to be one of the Chosen Ones, he offers him work in hopes of luring him to the graveyard and joins Felicia on her way there. Maryev joins them grudgingly.

Angus and Ekra, on their own agenda to visit the grave of the blacksmith's parents, wander into the graveyard as well—not paying much mind to the odd assembly of people standing together awkwardly. [x] Cain captures their attention and gives them the destiny-spiel. Everyone confirms that they’ve been hearing whispers in the night.

Veitaru arrives and, shortly after, so do Zephyrus and Archer—preceded by a mute Shiekah named Griz. A second darknut, albeit much less subtle and unconventionally friendly, randomly wanders into the graveyard and introduces himself as Epicoron.

Words become heated as everyone discusses potential reasons for being summoned to the grave when Lethe finally arrives-- followed by several others. [x] She announces the return of the Evil King, Ganondorf and that the Hero of Time will not return to vanquish him. It is revealed that the Goddess (referring to the Goddesses, three), has chosen all of those present to save Hyrule from utter destruction and it is up to them whether or not they are up to the task.

[Baklava]

As I work on the next post, everyone please think long and hard about whether or not your character will believe and join Lethe.

[RBYDark]

Ekra probably will, without any doubts from her, unless something changes.

[GuySenpai]

Angus will probably go with it, if not for destiny then to make sure Ekra doesn't get into trouble.

[Dervish]

Maryev's in it for the money. He doesn't actually think the world's in peril, not yet, anyways.

[Lugubrious]

Having had no sign that this world had anything to offer him in a long time, Cain would be glad to join Lethe's quest, though he doesn't believe that if the world's in danger, he'll be the one to save it. He's in it for the chance to return to his own world, and perhaps to take revenge on the goddesses that exiled his race by sabotaging their quest.

[The 42nd Gecko]

Veitaru's always been in, she just dislikes that Lethe keeps trying to get them to promise their support before laying the cards on the table.

[Bright_Ops]

Magus will join Lethe. While he doesn't believe the world would be destroyed per say, he is willing to get involved due to how personally inconvenient it would be to have to travel a land under the boot of the so called 'King of Darkness'. Wouldn't be able to get shit done.

He can already tell that Lethe is stressed the hell out as it is about it already and the various personalities that have been arranged aren't helping. Both of these see, to be leading causes to her current level of bitchiness.

[The 42nd Gecko]

Veitaru could probably get around just fine in that world, but hey, she's a fan of the Sheikah and they aren't a fan of that. :P

Unless Cain is the one paying him, there won't be any money in it. So if it's discovered the money was a lie, he'd likely be on his way, correct?

Knowing the stories of the Hero of Time, everyone should more or less know what cards are on the table when it comes to defeating Ganon-- danger, travel, etc. But either way, there's a reason Lethe isn't telling everyone the entire plan right now.

Yeah, if he discovered there wasn't any money on the line, he'd be gone. Maybe to be run into later.

Hmm. This was not a forseen circumstance haha. I may have to make a new character.

[Baklava]

It's totally alright if Magus doesn't want to join them right now. I have a set up for those who don't want to get involved at first. If you, or anybody else, is planning on making another character at this point, however, now would be the best time. I was vague in listing the people Lethe brought to the graveyard for that reason.

[The 42nd Gecko]

"But either way, there's a reason Lethe isn't telling everyone the entire plan right now."

Yes, but Veitaru doesn't know that reason. :P

[JonxlatheLion]

so sorry, but for some reason i could not post before, yes i'm still interested, but i'm not going to be able to post on friday, and might not get a post up this week at all :/
and, Epicoron* if i made his name epicorn in the post, that was a spelling error DX
Epicoron came here to not only see what was causing the voices, but to clear his race's reputation. He's also dearly interested in what's going to happen next. He's here to stay.

[Baklava]

My mistake. Fixed* I don't want anyone posting until I get my post up anyway, so it's fine.

[JonxlatheLion]

yeah, might want to slap the darknuts to make it so they don't kill eachother, if maryev is going to stay that is
