Lila Moriarty

The knock on the door told Lila that it was time. Shortly after asking if she was ready, not even waiting for an answer, the servant opened the door. His voice was elegant and smooth, but it was incredibly... monotone. Almost as if he was being careful to not show much emotion. His manners were impeccable, even the way he walked was elegant. He was obviously used in walking around nobles.

“Ms. Moriarty. This way please. That is if you are ready.” He said, extending his hand towards her.
“I will guide you to the gathering.” he continued, patiently waiting for her.

Lila gently took his hands without saying a word. She still had many questions about her next mission, but she wouldn't question Mirror's orders, instead simply letting the servant lead her, without knowing what to expect. She had never been in a place like that... She was obviously amongst nobles, and not warriors... She wondered how Virias would react to all that.

“Do not worry about your friend dear. He has an important role only Mirror knows. And he will have a fun in my room of madness.” the servant said, almost like if he was reading her mind. How did he do that? He always seemed to know what and when to say... It was really impressive.

Lila had said to Virias to obey Mirror, so she wasn't that preoccupied with him. Mirror surely would take care of him... At least that what was she believed in. The part about the 'room of madness' scared her a little, but she trusted Mirror enough to believe he would take care of Virias.

Upon arriving at their destination, Lila got even more confused than she already was. If she was feeling out of place before, on the room with the fancy bed and bath, now that feeling was much, much worse. She was amongst noblemen and noblewomen, as it was evident by the way they talked. Lila didn't know what to do or say. She had never been amongst noble Nayu or even Nobles before. And she certainly wasn't used in being in a place where blood was consumed so... openly... It was almost intoxicating for Lila. The smell of blood filled the room, she could almost taste it on her tongue.

“My who does your attire? You're just like a doll. Oh dear if only you had your sight to see how beautiful you are.” a royal said, right after she entered.

Another person might even be offended by that commentary, but she was a Nayu, so being blind was... normal for her. She always was blind.
Lila herself didn't knew if that commentary was a good one, praising her dress, or if the royal was trying to provoke her by saying that she was blind. She didn't know very well how to act around nobles. She wasn't as elegant as the servant, neither she knew what and when to say things in such a perfect and impeccable manner as him, so after one of them asked her name, she was caught by surprise.
But again, the servant shown to have a perfect understanding and knowledge on how to read and react to all social situations, presenting her to the royals as a member of the Moriarty family.

“The Moriarty family? My word such a rich heritage.” one of them said, immediately after that Lila could hear their chatter, talking about the Moriarty family. Unlike other previous comments, that one had definitely caught Lila's interest, making her listen carefully to them. She didn't know anything about her family or her past. She was simply raised as a weapon, no one never said that she had a... 'rich heritage', as one of the royals said...

She knew she was there on a mission, but other opportunities like that one, to learn about her past and her family couldn't come that easily...

“It's a shame that they were nearly wiped out. No doubt this young one here is a cousin of the main branch.” an elderly Nayu royal said, amongst the chatter.

What did he mean by that? Wiped out? By who? And why? Was Lila only a cousin of the main branch? A thousand of questions flooded her mind at once. It was already hard to concentrate with the smell of blood, after she hear those words, it became even harder, making her completely distracted, lost in her own thoughts...

“I will keep an eye on you. Go. Await your call and try to enjoy being a Nayu for once.” the servant said, with an unusually positive tone on his voice, making her come back to the current situation.

"I don't know how to..." Lila started to say, interrupting herself, silently nodding in acquiescence. She would try her hardest to not do anything that could offend the nobles or anything. She wasn't really educated to be a 'lady'... Probably the best place for her to be was to just quietly sit on a table and wait for further orders.

Normally, Lila would sit on an empty table on the corner of the room, as far as possible from the Royals, but her curiosity about her family was too much, so instead, she simply sat down on an empty chair, nearby the other royals, trying her best to hear any other information about the Moriarty.

Right in front of her seat, on the table, there were several glasses of blood, that the royals simply took and drank without any ceremony. The smell was tempting, and even before she realized, she had already taken one on her hands, the cold glass gently touching her lips, the red, crimson blood almost touching them. She could feel its intoxicatingly sweet and alluring smell, calling for her.
With an incredible effort, she put down the glass. She wasn't used in drinking blood nearby so many people, she was raised being told that drinking blood was a taboo, that wasn't acceptable, so she tried her hardest to control her urges.

"Concentrate..." she thought, forcing herself to put down the glass of blood and pay attention to the Royals, what they were saying and trying to listen anything about the Moriarty.

All the royals were incredibly lively, chatting, drinking blood and talking about a multitude of things. Lila herself couldn't feel more out of place. She didn't knew anything about Nayu manners, or customs, so she refrained herself of even talking to anyone, not knowing what was appropriate and what wasn't...

Thinking a bit more... Should her have sat down there? Was it ok for her to sit nearby the nobility, to share a table with them? She simply sat down, not asking anyone if she could...

"I-I'm... sorry..." She said, in a low tone, getting up.
"I didn't ask if I could... sit down." She said, in the same low tone. Sharing a table with nobles and royals... What was she thinking when she simply sat down like that?!
Did the mere mention of her family impact her enough to make her forget about everything else?

A Guild Adventure: An RP with Monster Girls! (ENDED)

Freyr

It was not only the order... All humans were like that... Even if it wasn't all humans, even if good humans still existed, it was getting more and more rare... They abandoned the purity of the forest, of the earth that they were born into and got corrupted... Greed, violence... They were all the same... That conversation only made Freyr feel even more distant from humans. The truth was that even if he was, and somehow, still is curious about the humans, the second he resolved to leave the forest, the moment he entered a city... He felt a bit... distant... Like if he didn't belong there. Everything was different, the values, what they considered important... customs...

"A-Are you alright? Your hands are bleeding...a-and you seemed really mad back there." a voice surprised him, making him turn his head towards Magnus, interrupting his own thoughts.

"Y-yes, Magnus... I am." Freyr said, with a long sigh after looking to his hands and seeing the decent wounds that his claws opened on his hands.

"It's just... Nevermind. It's not something you should be worried with. Humans and Vieras have a... long story. We tolerate humans, but we never liked them. I was different... I thought that the humans weren't all bad but... I think I was wrong. Every day, it gets harder and harder to find pure, innocent humans, that have not been corrupted..." He said, pressing his hands against each other, to staunch the bleeding.

Just after he said that, another two new additions arrived. Neil and Haley. Probably they were also preoccupied with him. After everything that he said... Certainly it should have been surprising to see someone as quiet as Freyr to say all that....

"You really let it out back there, didn't you Freyr?" Neil said, proceeding to say that it wasn't good to keep feeling concealed. The boy's words brought a slight smile to Freyr's face.

The thing that Haley said about wanting to join the guild surprised Freyr. He had mixed feelings about that. He was happy, but at the same time, worried about Marxello and if Haley decided to let him perform that corrupting spell on her.

But even after Haley said all that and flew away, Neil's words still brought a smile to his face.

Freyr gently stroked the boy's head, looking at him with a discreet smile on his face.
"Don't worry, Neil... It won't get out of control." He said, looking at the boy with a kind and warm smile.
"It's comforting to be reminded that there are still some pure and kind humans..." He continued.

After a brief while, he realized that he was stroking the boy's head and the wound on his hand wasn't completely staunched, making quickly him pull back his hand.
"I'm... sorry for that. The blood on my hands, I mean..." He said, pressing his hands against each other again.

"Upbringing and beliefs are not what defines a person," An unfamiliar voice said, approaching them. It was Eilidh, a centauress that had just entered the guild.

Her words were true, but the issue was much deeper than that. Humans were greedy by nature. They lived to take from others, even from their own. No honor, no nothing... They only knew how to take things and corrupt them to their own liking. They killed the earth without even thinking twice...

"Centaurs are very honorable warriors. They respect others, respect the earth. Humans on the other hand... I know that there are still good and pure humans, after all, it was exactly because of this thought that I decided to leave the forest, but its getting harder and harder to find those... Humans are greedy, dishonorable and evil. Few are the ones that can resist the corruption that they preach." Freyr said, with a sad tone to his voice.

"Thank you for your concern. All of you, Neil, Eilidh, Magnus... I'm sorry for my outburst, but I simply couldn't keep quiet after hearing all that."

"I promise I would never resort to violence without a very good reason. Just like Haley said though, I will fight back if he ever tries to force that spell on any one of us, demi humans." Freyr said, with a very serious tone.

"Vieras never had a good relationship with humans. We're simply too different. Our values, our customs... We tolerated humans, but we never liked them. I got out of the forest because I felt curious about them. I felt like they surely couldn't be as bad as the stories said. But sometimes I wonder if I'm really right... Humans walk a path that lead only to destruction. Not only theirs, but to everyone else as well..." he said, with a worried tone.

---

After a good bath, having taken care of his hands and a good night of sleep, Freyr was feeling a bit better. Thoughts about the things that happened the other day and Marxello still lingered on his mind, but he decided to try his best to not think about that.

The requests for that day weren't that interesting for Freyr. Conflicts caused by humans, resulting only on unnecessary deaths, something about clothes (which Freyr himself didn't wear that much...), a mysterious request about a shrine and a request to entertain the dwarves. He wasn't interested in any of those, saving for one...

'Grass Roots'. The request was about a local apothecary testing a new anaesthetic called 'Huwana'. Freyr was very knowledgeable about herbs, so that surely was something that he could be useful for.

But there was one thing that Bart said that caught Freyr by surprise... He said that they were low on supplies, and asked how much they have earned the other day...
Last day's mission was... a prank. They got absolutely nothing for it, saving for their wounded pride, of course...

"I... We didn't get anything, Bart. Last day's mission was a prank pulled by a certain mischievous little sylph..." He said, searching for Celes with his eyes.

"I know some things about herbs and poisons... I think I'll choose the one about the apothecary. I'm sure that I will be able to help." He said, trying to make up for the last day's mission.

Bast Ragoczy

After a good time walking, they saw a camp on the horizon. Immediately upon seeing its banner, the boy said, running towards the camp even before Bast could say anything.

"That banner! I know that banner! It's of Lord Araghast's!" The boy said, before going towards the camp.

Right on the entrance, they met a group of well armored warriors. Their armor certainly wasn't anything like those of a crusader or a holy knight, instead a dark thing certainly designed to inspire fear.

"This will be interesting..." Bast thought to himself as the warriors asked what business they had there. Absalom was too busy, sweeping the camp with his eyes, searching for his target, so Bast would have to take care of the talking.

"We're here to talk with Lord Araghast. We have some... rather personal matters to discuss with him regarding Boreal Port... Right, Absalom?" Bast asked, with a treacherous smile on his face.

"Surely its something he will be interested in knowing. A message from someone from that village, entitled specifically for him. We've came here to deliver it." Bast said, opening his arms, still with his unsettling smile.

Naaji

Location: Forest, Kindred territory.

After seeing that it was safe to approach her, Naaji did so a bit more brazenly. It was the first tiger he was seeing in some time. He longed for company of his own species. The Arcerian were... strange. Naaji always were very careful around them, since they could easily kill him. Even if they treated him well, or even ignored him, he was never truly relaxed near one.

As he got closer to her, he got a bit preoccupied by her sudden change in posture, but he stood there. He was very curious about her, and that may be the only chance to find company in a long time... Naaji would soon perceive that his persistence would reward him. The second he got closer to her, she started playfully swiping her paw at him. He got really happy when she did that. That meant she accepted his presence, right?

Naaji's reaction to that was almost instant, with him swiping back at her and laying down on the ground, giving small, playful bites on her legs, trying to make her fall down on the ground.

But something made him stop. A strange scent in the air. It smelled like humans, which normally was something good, as he liked to watch them. But this time there was another smell in the air. Fur. He knew what those humans were. They were hunters. Naaji never liked them that much. It wasn't even close for the hate he felt for Hayllians, but he didn't like them that much either.

” If you want to live I would stay away from those scents. They’re bad news. I’ll be taking my leave now and you can do what you want.” Naaji heard the tigress saying.

"They're hunters... I can smell fur..." He said to himself, immediately getting up. But when he tried to look for the tigress, she was already walking away.

Surely, Naaji wouldn't let her go that easily, so he ran after her, rubbing himself on her after he got nearby her and walking side by side with her.

"I'm Naaji. Would you mind if I followed you?" He asked, chuffing and playfully biting her ear.

Aisha Najm

Location: Hyall

Aisha wouldn't lie, she was more than just a bit annoyed by the looks of disgust she received from some people. She hated those kind of people... But she was there to relax and have a bit of fun, so she wouldn't let them ruin the day for her. The best thing to do was simply ignore them, otherwise, she would only irritate herself for nothing.

Turning her face towards the man in front of her once more, she was rather surprised by his politeness and education. Even his words had a certain... charm to them, a certain artistic touch. It was hard to explain, but it was there. He was certainly a very charming man. The way he walked, his clothes, even his words seemed like they were all very carefully chosen. He was indeed quite a dashing man... Aisha couldn't help but keep staring at him for a while, averting her gaze when she realized what she was doing.

"I'm terribly sorry, it was entirely my fault. I was a bit distracted..." Aisha said, as they shook hands.
"To be honest, I was a bit preoccupied if there was something wrong with my hair, my clothes or something... I know that centaurs aren't exactly a common sight, but even though..." She said, with a slightly annoyed tone on her voice, obviously referring to the looks of disgust she received.

"I'm Aisha, Aisha Najm. Its a pleasure to meet you, Mikahiel." Aisha said after the man presented himself, with a discreet smile on her face.

The second he mentioned tea, Aisha's ears perked up, moving a little bit, curiosity stamped on her face. She had never tasted tea from Hyall. She often prepared her own. She wondered how would it taste like...
"I wonder how does Hyall tea tastes like... I usually prepare my own." She said, looking towards where Mikahiel pointed and following him. With the corner of her eyes, she saw a strange woman getting out of a store, wearing some type of fur... It had a weird glimmer, but Aisha simply dismissed that as nothing. She wasn't really interested in furs or anything like that.

The inn Mikahiel spoke of was conveniently close, close enough that they could see what was happening inside it by looking through the window. She watched quietly as Mikahiel got closer to the window, waving towards those who were working there, ordering some tea and sitting outside, waiting for it to arrive.

”Ahh. So, Aisha. How do you like this.. place?” Mikahiel asked, pouring himself and Aisha a cup.

"I... Honestly, it's my first time in Hyall... I was hired to escort a merchant here. After I finished my job I decided to visit Hyall. Maybe even find some nice earrings, piercings or chains for me." She said, sitting down near Mikahiel, with both her front and hind legs folded underneath her, almost like if she was kneeling and resting her hands on her lap. Only if it wasn't for the big glaive on her back or the bow, she would look just like a noble lady.

After he poured some tea for her, she delicately held the cup on her hands, holding it for a brief second near her face as she closed her eyes and slowly feeling its aroma. It had very refreshing and delicate scent, it made her remember of Kaeler's plains and groves.
Delicately taking a sip of it, she slowly savored it. It was refreshing and really, really tasty.

”Do let me know if you enjoy the tea. It's a mixture of what I enjoy the most. It reminds me of changing seasons.. which does not seem to happen here.. And I added three cubes of sugar. I hope it's not too sweet.” Aisha heard Mikahiel saying.

Gently putting the cup down, she looked at him with a smile.
"It's really tasty. Thanks for telling me about this place, you really have a good taste for tea." She said, looking to him once more.

"I was really looking forward to a nice tea. I usually prepare my own, but it wouldn't be that... adequate, inside a town, would it?" She said, with a giggle.

"It became a habit, every day, when the sun sets, even if I'm guiding someone through the dense forests of Kaeler, its plains or even the harsh and cruel deserts of Pruul, I will always sit down for a bit to rest and drink some tea." She said, looking to the slightly red, caramel tea inside the cup, letting her memories fill her mind. Even if she was young, she had already passed through so many things, it was sometimes hard to remember that she only had 20 years...

"I'm sorry. I got lost in my own thoughts for a second." She said, sipping her tea, letting her eyes wander around, eventually meeting Mikahiel's.

She couldn't wonder but to think how that man stood out amongst the rest of the people there. Even if she was a centaur, he didn't treated her bad or looked to her with disgust. She had even bumped into him, and yet, he was so kind to invite her for a tea...

"I... Thank you being this kind, Mikahiel. I was really getting a bit irritated with the stares I was receiving... But your politeness made me forget about them. And this tea... It indeed brightened up my day!" she said, with a smile.

"Would you like to get something to eat? Please, let me pay. It's the least I can do after I bumped into you like that." She said, nodding her head in a very discreet bow.

Overlord : Advent of the Gods

"Low Hp and defense" That is not true. She just tanked a magical nuke to the face with her health alone. At least that is what you wrote on your post. Yasha just did everything she could. She sent an area denial attack that was easily and completely nullified by Senna's amulet, she sent a myriad of different shells and Senna was still able to dodge them even though Yasha was shooting from a hidden position, not counting her strongest and ultimate spell... killing many innocent bystanders, and it still was useless against her. completely and utterly useless. Senna on the other hand is simply killing everything on sight, with incredible agility while shrugging off Selena's curses, Selena's attack, Yasha's shots...

I don't know how she managed to literally ignore the shockwave, the explosion and all the shit Yasha sent to her... Nothing seems to even graze her, nothing seems to affect her.
I understand that your character has certain skills & etc, but even though... I don't know what to do anymore...
If I attack, nothing will happen. I don't want to kill your character. I never wanted. But I don't know what to write anymore!! I really don't know!!!!

I'll repeat: If someone manages to get Yasha by surprise, I will either kill or make her gravely wounded. Since she 'actually' has low hp and low def. Yasha is a huge menace due to her high damage output. But other than her speed (with the fly spell and her 'stealth' with the Perfect Unknowable spell) she has no means to defend herself. She is completely inept at melee combat.

Overlord : Advent of the Gods

@Rune_Alchemist

You know that you don't need to SHOW it, but simply let me AS A PLAYER know that it did something... She wasn't even affected by the shockwave! Nothing happened. Literally nothing. I as a player don't know what to do anymore. My strongest spell was useless, then its simply unthinkable that weaker spells will do any effect at all.

The thing isn't showing Yasha how much damage it did, but showing me as a player. I need to know something in order to write...

PS: Slow firing? Its a magical rifle... Expect at least it to be as fast as a regular sniper bullet. It seems you're treating them as arrows or something... Sure, Senna has enhanced reflexes, but even though... Even if Yasha shot at her from behind cover, without Senna seeing her, she still can dodge that on a whim, and to top it off, she can literally tank a nuke...

ps: I did fire a barrage of bullets. and nothing happened. Again, I don't know what to do as a player. Since normal bullets were simply useless against her, I tried using spells, but they proved to be useless as well, even the most powerful spell. Not counting as any shot she takes never hits anything. Senna can literally dodge a shot without seeing it. Even if Yasha shot her by surprise.
Yasha is not a machine gunner. She is a sniper. Her rifle is not a weapon focused towards DPS, but to BURST DPS. She does insane amounts of damage per shot, but she cannot just turn her rifle into an automatic weapon.

Next post I will make yasha get down so Senna can kill her. All it will take is one attack. A single attack, since Yasha is a glass cannon.
Yasha is strong offensively? no doubt. But she will DIE if Senna touches her. There isn't anything to save her. No magic armor, no armor, nothing... And honestly? I don't know what to do anymore. Senna's lack of defense should be one of her weaknesses, but instead, she is ridiculously tanky...

Just make Senna throw her sword on Yasha's direction. Lets get this over with already...

---

I'm going to be completely honest here:

I'm sorry, I know I'm being salty and bitchy about all this, but I simply don't know what to do. Yasha will simply run away, since she cannot do anything to Senna. Its simply illogical that her strongest shot wont be able to even graze her, not doing anything at all, but a normal shot will kill her. The only way I could do anything was if I used OOC information, things that Yasha wasn't supposed to know.
