@The Valkyrie

I just gave a quick look on other posts, I'm really sorry!

Is it ok to assume then that Rois was already knocking on her door on my post? And Maeve simply stumbled on her and answered Audrey as well?

Edit: Just fixed my post. See if its ok.
Again, really sorry for that lol. I was already getting really uncomfortable with myself that I was taking so long to reply (due to all the broken pc thing...)

PS: @Cairo Is my post ok?

@Cairo

I hope you don't mind me using that knock on Audrey's door to make Maeve interact with her

No Turning Back - Surving the Abyss

Maeve Katz

Maeve wouldn't lie to herself. Morale was still a problem on the Vitae. Even after 5 years, people were still getting used to all that. It was undeniably, a very sudden and radical change. But Maeve liked to think that she was helping a bit at that too. Sure, she was only one person, but she was most certainly doing her part. The only thing that she wished it could change was the daily limitation of only one hour per person on the Eden. That place was undoubtedly, one of her favorite locations on all the ship since the first day in the Vitae. Every single day, Maeve went there to simply lay down under a tree. Maybe take a nap or simply feel the artificial breeze on her skin. Most of the staff that was responsible for guarding the Eden already knew Maeve, as she hardly spent an entire day without going to the Eden at least once.

"See you tomorrow!" Maeve said to the man guarding the entrance to the Eden with a tranquil smile on her face.

As she walked away, she smiled to herself after seeing the guard smiling back at her. It was refreshing to see that even small actions, small things like talking to others like she did, could change their expressions, maybe even their day, for the better. Even as she walked through the Hub, it was good to see that at least some who knew her due to her music opened a smile after she waved back for them.

Talking about the Hub, it always surprised Maeve on how many people were there at all times of the day. Maybe it was because it was due to the nightclubs, bars, movie theaters & etc. or maybe it was because it resembled a 'real' city, like the ones back on Mars or Earth. Whatever the reason was, people were naturally drawn to that location. Maybe even more than the Eden.

But as much as Maeve would like to stop by one of the cafeterias and get some hot chocolate or buy some sweets, she knew she still had her duties as a doctor. Even though there weren't many people who needed surgery or any more 'serious' medical procedures, there were still many other things that Maeve needed to do other than consults. One of them was checking on certain patients who had more fragile health compared to others. One of those was Audrey Knight. Only a few years older than herself, Audrey was a brilliant roboticist and Ai scientist. Maeve didn't know much about those things, but judging by what other scientists said about her, she had a very promising future ahead of her.

Unfortunately, Audrey was born in a generation known as 'Generation Sick', victim of the airborne pollutants in the Conglomerate. Due to that, she had to use a respirator in order to breathe and had a very fragile health. To make things even more complicated, Audrey had a tendency to isolate herself and was not that good in socializing with others. That meant that Maeve had to most of the times, search for her to check on her health.

"Maybe this time I can even persuade her to try going to the Eden to relax a little bit?" Maeve thought to herself as she finally arrived on the corridor where Audrey's quarters were located.

"Let's see... Audrey..." Maeve mumbled to herself, searching for Audrey's quarter.

In front of her door, Audrey would find a red haired woman, knocking on Audrey's door with some food and orange juice on her hands, presumably for Audrey.

"Oh, also searching for Audrey?" Maeve asked to the red haired woman, surprised to see another person in front of Audrey's door.

"She doesn't even get out to eat by herself, doesn't she? She really needs to take better care of her health..." Maeve said, shaking her head in disappointment.

"Go away, I'm dead!" Audrey's voice could be heard coming from inside.

"If you keep acting like that, you soon will be... Well, first you will have an appointment with me and my scalpels..." Maeve replied, with a provocative tone.

"Come on Audrey... You know you need to see me at least once a week... It's just a quick medical checkup. I promise it will be quick." Maeve said, trying to convince her to open the door.

"You know... I even gave up on drinking some tasty hot chocolate on that cafeteria I like on the Hub just to come here check on you!" Maeve said with a discreet giggle as she waited for her answer, hoping she would at least open the door.

"Maybe I should have brought some for her?" Maeve asked, looking to the red haired woman, inquisitively.

"Oh, my name is Maeve by the way. Maeve Katz. I'm... well... I'm a lot of things... Surgeon, singer, medic... But I'm also in charge to check Audrey's health... If she lets me, that is..." Maeve said, with a sigh.

Audrey was a... complicated patient, but she was one of her patients nonetheless. Maeve hoped that one day Audrey would open herself to her a bit more. Isolating herself like that wasn't good neither for her body nor her mind...

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Henri didn't notice that there was a purple haired girl that she didn't know yet on the carriage with them. Maybe it was because she was so distracted and quiet looking through the window. But the second she turned, asking if they were excited about being there, Henri finally noticed her.
He didn't know her name or even saw her before. But again, he was just a recent arrival on the college. The least he could do to make up for completely ignoring her was to present himself properly, but before he could do that, he was interrupted by Athalus.

Henri was simply dumbfound as he listened Athalus giving him a sermon. It wasn't the first time that people acted like that with him, so he was already used in being disrespected. But that didn't mean that Henri wouldn't get irritated or talk back...

"Oho~ Believe me, Athalus..." Henri replied, saying his name slowly as he looked at him with a piercing stare.
"I know how to take care of myself. Otherwise I wouldn't be alive here today. And... I'm sorry, but I don't remember starting a conversation with you... You talk about being polite, but ironically enough, you're the one interrupting my conversation in an exemplary display of rudeness... Maybe it's not me who will have problems with the local nobility, eh?" Henri said, with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Oh, but I suppose I should thank you for speaking so highly of me! But I think I'll have some problems keeping up with your expectations... After all, you just assumed that I could affect the relations between the college and Eania just by myself!" He continued, with a mocking bow.

"But just as you said, you should watch me carefully... You might learn a thing or two if I'm as good as you say." He finished, before turning towards the purple haired girl... Or at least trying to as he was interrupted once more by Alaira, who just kicked the wood paneling just below his groin.

Completely unfazed by her intimidation attempt, he crossed his legs with an amused look on his face, looking to the girl as she spoke.
"Alaira, my dear... If you want to spar, be my guest, but I don't think it's a good idea to try to destroy the carriage or fight me here... You might cause a scene you know... And we're on a festival... There are a lot of eyes to watch us..." He said, with a provocative chuckle.

"It is probably a new record! Less than a week and I already have so many who dislike me... It's simply delightful how many arrogant people come flocking towards me expecting me to simply lower my head and listen as they continue to treat me like nothing..." Henri said, rolling his eyes.

"I never said I would actively search for problems... Unlike both of you at this moment... I will only stay away from nobles & such. I don't like them, and they don't like me. You don't know the nobility like I do... And believe me, you wouldn't like them as well if you saw their ugly side so many times..." Henri said, with a bitter expression.

"The only reason I would fight or argue with a noble is if he couldn't swallow its pride long enough to be polite if they ever happened to speak with me, which is highly unlikely if I may add, or at least have the decency of ignoring me, just as I will probably do with them." Henri said looking to both Alaira and Athalus.

When he was about to turn to the girl again to introduce himself, Helena's voice caught his attention. This time, it was a good thing.

"Oh, thank you! I was almost thinking that I would have to sleep with my knives under my pillow in order to defend myself in case someone tried to kill me on the college... It's good to see that I still have someone that enjoys my company..." He said, winking to Helena, before Lyn reprimanded Alaira for her actions, nodding to her shortly after, grateful for her words.

After that little discussion, the mood was undeniably sour inside the carriage, and the moment they arrived, Henri was one of the first to get out, stretching himself as he stepped out of it.

"Well... Let's see what we will find here..." Henri said, looking around.

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

Bast Ragoczy

Bast quietly listened to Bartholomew as he said for everyone to tone down Varjo related quests. Bast himself wasn't directly helping the rebellion, in fact, he didn't cared about the rebellion. Not even one bit, but he was interested about Araghast and Lord Joshua. Especially Lord Joshua. While helping the rebellion was a way to draw his attention, it might prove to be annoying to deal with his soldiers later.

"Very well. It might be the best course of action right now. I'm not going to lie... I'm very interested on Joshua... I've heard some intriguing things after I met with one of his followers. But again... It might prove to be very... inconvenient to deal with his soldiers and an entire country as an enemy..." Bast said, tapping his cane with a thoughtful expression.

"Anyways, Neil's plan is indeed interesting, but I feel like our newcomer's plan sounds a bit more... realistic. Would you care if I expanded on it a bit more?" Bast said, with a mischievous smile on his face.

"We don't know who will win between the rebels and Varjo. If we want to make sure that the guild will survive despite the outcome, we could make ourselves known to both sides by helping both of them. Even in the rare case that Varjo knows that we are not just helping them, but the rebellion as well, they will simply dismiss it as just another group of mercenaries... It might not sound that pleasant, but if we want to ensure our survival, this might be an option worth considering." He completed, carefully looking to Bartholomew and the others, studying their reactions.

Freyr

Freyr got a bit surprised after the new girl, Yang Bethlehem, was so warm with him and due to the fact that she saw right through him. Was it that obvious that it was something related to love?

"I... Thank you." Freyr said, trying to find words to reply her without much success, without being able to deny her assumption or confirm it, instead, just remaining in silent, embarrassed.

As Bartholomew continued talking, Freyr started to pay a little bit of attention to the situation he was discussing about Varjo. Freyr was a Viera. He lived his entire life in a forest so he really didn't cared that much about politics & such, but as others had just said, taking a side could prove to be a risky thing to do as they didn't knew who would win.

"Maybe we... Should simply refrain from taking a side?" Freyr said, still a bit embarrassed by not being able to deny Yang's assumption.

The Five Senses

Karina Frost

Karina Frost

General Information

• Gender: Female
• Sexuality: Heterosexual
• Age: 21
• Home Nation: Half Hearing, Half Touch

Appearance

Penetrating green eyes, a delicate and elegant face and immaculately white skin and hair give Karina quite the unique and exotic appearance. Her body although small and apparently delicate hides a surprisingly agile, dexterous and flexible frame, fruit of her training. Usually wears an military style uniform with her hair tied and a cap. On formal occasions she unties her hair and prefers to wear dresses.

Bio

Karina was born out of the unusual union of a scholar from the Nation of Hearing and a general from the Nation of Touch. By the choice of her father, she went to live on together with her mother on her home nation as he wanted her to have a peaceful life, away from the chaos of war. On the Nation of Hearing, Karina would show her love for knowledge as her and her mother often passed their time studying together.
But unfortunately, having a life away from the was wasn't something that Karina would be able to enjoy for much longer... When she was only 10 years old, her mother fell ill with a very serious, contagious disease. Without any other option, Karina had to go to live with her father on the Nation of Touch.

There on the Nation of Touch, Karina's father became cold and even more distant, dedicating his entire time to his work trying to forget the pain from losing his loved one. Karina on the other hand was literally raised amongst soldiers and other high patent officers. Her education was already very good, in fact, it was better than most people, since she was herself the daughter of an scholar, but there were some things that her mother couldn't teach her in the pacifist Nation of Hearing. It was only natural that being so instructed and intelligent, she would learn certain military knowledge fast as she heard her father talking with other officers. But another one of those things was Fencing. After seeing two high patent officer sparring, she immediately fell in love with the Rapier. It didn't resemble violence, it was almost a dance. The way the officers moved almost effortlessly through the room, their rapiers singing as the edges kissed themselves... It was the perfect balance between violence and art. Since that moment, fencing became another one of Karina's hobbies, other than studying and debating with other officers about military strategies & etc.

As she grew older, as the General's daughter and after proving herself to be knowledgeable enough that not giving her a patent was deemed an absolute waste of talent, nobody dared to mistreat her. Known as the 'flower' of the military due to her beautiful looks and because she was always walking around the headquarters, either reading, talking with seasoned officers (often surprising her due to her intellect) or practicing her fencing, her influence grew both by her father's position and her patent.

Maybe because of her mixed blood or maybe due to her spending half of her life on the Nation of Hearing and the other half on the Nation of Touch, when Karina turned 15, a very unique magic awakened on her. Completely the opposite from the usual Tempraisionism magic that was common to the Nation of Touch, Karina was able to use the humidity and the cold on the air in various forms. Incredibly dangerous against other Tempraisionists due to her strength being their weaknesses, it was almost an irony that an officer from the Military of Touch having such magical talent... After that fact became known by the others on the Nation of Touch, she started being referred by some people as "The Ice Flower of the Nation of Touch".

Personality

Despite her nickname as 'The Ice Flower', Karina is actually not that cold when around friends. Enjoying a good conversation and often seen with a mysterious, but enchanting smile on her face, she is a real treat to look at.

Despite her quiet demeanor, she certainly has a very strong personality, maybe due to her father or to the fact that she was raised in the military, but her enchanting smile can turn into a real cold stare when angry and her cold but firm words are famous around the army for being able to frighten even a seasoned soldier.

When amongst other soldiers or in a combat situation though, Karina is almost a completely different person. Really living up to her nickname as the Ice Flower, she is practical, logical and cold both regarding strategizing or fighting herself.

Quirks:

Karina has a soft spot for sweets and hot beverages such as hot chocolate.

Skills

• Fencing: Karina developed her own style of fencing. More agile and elegant than the normal fencing, it's characterized by it's high mobility, deadly lunges, feints and extremely fast movements. While it lacks brute, raw strength, it more than makes up with agility and dexterity. Hence why the Rapier is the perfect weapon for her.
• Adept of Hearing: Just like her mother, Karina is an adept of hearing. Unlike her who used it for music and to distinguish the small difference in musical notes, Karina uses it in a much finer and complex way. By concentrating herself, she can go as far as hearing someone's heartbeats or their movements in order to be able to react much faster than she normally could.
• Natural Resistance to cold: Due to her magic and the fact that she trains so much with it, Karina developed a certain resistance to cold. Enough to allow her to use her magic for some time before she needs to stop.

Magic

Cryomancy:

Using the surrounding air temperature, or even her by lowering her bodily temperature, she can create ice in a myriad of ways. Be it creating blades made of concentrated ice to control through the air and cut her enemies, lowering the air temperature in order to counter Tempraisionists or even by lowering another person's bodily temperature in case she hits them with one of her ice blades or with her rapiers. Coupled with her fencing, it is incredibly dangerous as she can overpower opponents much stronger and tough than herself by lowering their bodies' temperature with each cut.

The drawback is that if the air temperature is high, she will have to resort to lower her own body's temperature and depending on how much time she does it, she can even pass out with hypothermia. Using clothes that preserve the bodily temperature like gloves, coats & etc. can allow her to use her magic even when the temperature of the air around her is a bit higher than the necessary for her to use her magic. In the other hand, when the climate is cold, Karina can use her magic almost freely.

Weaknesses

• Heat: Exactly the opposite from normal Tempraisionism, if the air around her is too hot (for example... if she is around a fireplace or something like that) She will need to use much more energy than normal to use her magic.
• Brute Strength: Karina is not that heavy or tall. In a contest of brute strength, she will most likely loose. This also means that if someone pins her down, she won't be able to get out by herself without resorting to magic.
• Too many blades: When creating concentrated ice blades, Karina can only create and maintain a maximum of 4 blades at the same time.

Equipment

Rapier

Almost a piece of art, this rapier's blade was forged with an special method. It's dark red colored blade has an intricate pattern, formed naturally due to the way the steel was forged. It was a gift from her father when she became an officer. A little something he did trying to redeem himself for being such a distant father.
