I thought it was only 12, then Anno decided to make it just a bit more monster-of-the-week-esque by adding another 5. 28?! I need sources!

Really looking forward to get this roleplay underway, especially excited to see any new Angels. :D

Even if nobody else signs up for this, having a smaller group will make things easier to manage and probably stop people dropping off the face of the Earth (I promise it won't be me).


'pparently the original idea had 28 Angels.
Three Sisters
(with @Ezekiel)

Whatever the Three Sisters 'were' famous for, it certainly wasn't architecture. The small tarven that Jace found himself in, some distance from Sisterton on the isle of Sweetsister, was little more than an elongated hut, the strawed flood badly need changing, and by the smell of some of the locals, they probably did as well. That said, he was finding the whole experience rather fun.

Of course, it was hard to approach an island incognito while riding a dragon, but Vermax was not yet so vast as to be picked out in foul sea weather, and so it had been simple enough to land in the sea-swell that often engulfed the three sisters, some distance from prying eyes, then making their way to the nearest place that provided both shelter and sustenance.

So now, Prince Jace, so far unrecognised, sat, his new Northern companion close by, with a tankard of ale and a rather large bowl of 'Sister's Stew' a white soup made from a variety of sea-food. Whatever it was, it beat trail rations, and with good company, life on the road, or, wing, as it was, proved not so bad.

Arsa Snow poked carefully her stew with a spoon, inspecting the ingredients as she looked at the flecks of steam that rose from it. Unlike Jace, she never had any need of not going unrecognized. Nobody besides Winterfell and a few Northerners knew of her existence. Her small stature and hunting clothes, also contributed to her modest travelling look, perhaps only broken by the existence of her bow, but nonetheless, they probably would never expected she had been on Dragonback all the way from Winterfell. She had become intoxicated with the views. For hours and hours, with none of the usual warging problems she had to face to pay for such views.

"Hmm, looks tasty." She grabbed a spoonful in her mouth. And then another one, as she ate greedily. "Salty, but pretty tasty, boss." She added as she looked at Jace. "Ideal after a journey."

"Mhm, certainly beats dried beef." He smiled at the Northern girl as he too began to eat away at his soup, washing it down with the odd gulp of ale. "It may not be a Winterfell feast, but hopefully less people will be doused in wine." He smirked. The Stew contained a hearty amount of sea-food, and it was quickly doing much to ease the hunger-pangs of earnest travel. He hoped Vermax had found similarly enjoyable prey.

"Recovered from flying yet? It can take some getting used to."

"I'm fine. I am used to it." Arsa replied, almost absent with the warm stew making wonders in her stomach. She quickly realized her folly, though, as she switched words soon afterwards. "I mean, I am getting used to it quickly." She chastised herself for her slip of the word. This was not Winterfell, already. She could not avoid making even the slightless offhand remark that the peculariarities of the blood of the First Men could sometimes bring in people of certain lineages, like Stark or Reed. Besides, while eager and adventurous, even a Prince...would probably frown at the mystic skills she had been blessed with.

The Prince raised an eyebrow at that, while it was true it had been her second flight upon dragonback, that would hardly be enough time to grow used to it. It struck him as yet another wild boast from the Northern girl, something he'd seen was something of a trend. He chuckled slightly; "As you say. I, however, enjoy resting my legs from the saddle." He smirked before taking another gulp of ale. Looking around the tavern, it seemed to have started to fill out slightly, as the night grew later. "Should be interesting." He murmered.

Arsa eyed the Prince. "Islander antics seem interesting to you?" She said lowering her voice as she smirked."Living in the Red Keep must be much more stressing than Winterfell, surely, moreso when you have a reputation to uphold in your name." The teenager said coyly as she swiped Jacaerys' ale and took a sip on her own. "Your legs must be really cold, aren't they, boss?" She said as she squirmed once more to sit in his lap. "Maybe this can help."

"It's certainly a relief to be out here for a while.." He managed before she both stole his drink, and placed herself upon him, a slight mock-frown turning into a laugh the next moment. "Not one to complain, but I certainly won't fault your effort." He smirked, an arm wrapping around the Northener.

"Better already."

"Well, boss." Arsa said as she snuggled to share some body warmth. "I can share that feeling with you. To be fair, Winterfell was kinda choking me a little aswell. Cregan, bless his soul, he tries his best for everyone, but he is too overbearing at times. Like a wolf parent tending his pups." She paused. "I am surprised though, I was hoping to spend quite a long time in my room for my spat with him. How did you manage to get me released?" She put a finger in her chin, waiting for an answer.

"Oh, simple really." Jace chuckled at the memory, and at the thought of sharing it with her. "I told him a Southern court might be able to teach you some manners." His eyes were full of mischief as he taunted her, all the while holding her tight to him.

"Southern lady manners, huh." Arsa said, as she looked at Jace, and without warning, pushed her aware with mock insult. "M'lord, what are you doing! It is improper!" She jested as she returned to her seat. "I know the manners, I just do not see the point of employing it them for the time being." She paused. "This isn't a court, as you know. Personally, I find more useful in these circumstances the fact I can hit targets at a hundred of paces. How many ladies in your court can claim to do that?" She added, finishing her soup.

Her sudden 'outburst' only made the Prince laugh further, but drew a few odd looks from around the room. A lord, of any bearing, was rare among the isolated rural folk, outside of Sisterton and other such places of importance upon the isles. Still, Jace merely carried on.

"Hmm, my cousins, for one, the pair of them no doubt. But no many others, I'll grant you that, aye, a little more useful, here and on the road." He nodded, before speaking again; "Mayhaps you do know, but your brother seemed not to think so." He chuckled.

"My brother is in a difficult position. I doubt he would make a fuss out of our little spat if it was in private, but I got myself carried away in public. He simply settled it in a way he does not have to hit me once more." She paused. "Plus, I do think I know he wants me as guarantee of blood, since he cannot offer young Rickon." She paused for a second."And not many opportunities for a bastard to rise and do well." She added, her voice lowered. "Even mistress is seen as a good chance by some. I am sure brother even pondered that much." She added, playing with her spoon.

"In the Capital, noble bastards tend to be given postings around the city, I think half the Goldcloaks are bastards by lords." Jace mused, before turning more serious in his response to Arsa; "You're not here to be a Misstress, truly, I offered your brother an opporunity to solve the situation, I would not want to make you feel trapped by it."

"No, you are right." Arsa added. "But I would not mind." She answered back. "Not with a man who has shown me the wonders of this world on dragonback, at any time." She giggled, as she smiled back at Jacaerys. "Speaking of which." She paused, something clicked in her mind. "Is there something wrong with your...mount?" She asked. "She seems... a bit spaced out as of late." She added, having perceived a certain lack of focus in the beast's eyes during the flights.

Jace pondered that for a long moment; "Not that I could think of, maladies that is, Vermax is reaching the age where she might lay a clutch, that could be something do with it. My mother used to say Syrax was slower to respond before she was to lay eggs." The young Prince mused allowed, still holding her to him.

Arsa let herself lulled by the prince, until something in her mind clicked. "We're in deep trouble...boss." She said, the blood draining quickly from her face. "If your mount has the same roosting instinct as large predator birds, we are in a pickle. She might not even respond to your orders and might attack anything near enough." She said, almost in a hushed whisper. "We must take her somewhere else, before its too late."

"Dragons are not the same as birds." Jace laughed a little at the thought, before stopping himself mid thought; "Although they can become more...hostile, to those they are not used, best to keep her in the wilds until this is resolved." The Prince mused, whispering back; "You should be careful around her, dragons are hardly tame." He grinned, a little fire in his words.

"More careful than the one who knew she could roost anytime yet chose to travel? That is not a high bar, boss." Arsa replied before disengaging from the prince. "Besides people would want to grab those eggs for their own ends." She added, a noticeable frown across her factions.

"Eggs are a lot less valuable for those who are not born of my blood." Jace responded before she pulled away, still speaking at a whisper, before she was too far to hear. "Baubels, nothing more." He continued, before his eyes were drawn away by some commotion. A pair of men arguing over a serving wench, it was not long before the men were throwing punches at each other. "I think I prefer Winterfell."

"Still, I do not think it would be safe. What if they end up in those who are borne of your blood... but are not on your side?" Arsa leant forward one last time, before eyeing the two drunkyards."We should find a safe place for that, but Wintefell is the one i know the most." She paused as she eyed the prince.

"To fly back to Winterfell would take almost as much time as the whole journey back to Dragonstone, we could find isolation on these Isles, or in the Mountains" He replied, the Vale was only a few league South of the Sisters after all.

"Then we shall have to take good care of her, and them." He mused, stroking his chin, watching his companion, and the increasingly rowdy room.

"Boss, do you want to join in the fight? If not,we should go now." Arsa added looking at the bar brawl in the making. She bit her lip. Leaving a clutch unatended. It could be tricky. She did not know truly how strong a dragon's attachment would be to roosting, nor she did not know even if her skills would work on a draconic creature. "I really hope she is not the type to be overly protective and picky."

"Hmm, no, best we make our exit." He responded quietly, ducking to narrowly avoid the first thrown mug of cheap ale. The tavern was quickly descending into the usual chaos, although the Prince was well versed in agility, albeit for a very different cause.

"If you would care to accompany me." He offered her a hand and a quick smirk, before they were off, dodging through angry, violent and drunk sistermen, and extra few coins thrown one of the servant's ways for their trouble.


@MrDidact is partly at fault for this.




Weekend.Maybe. I will leave it to wait if someone else wants to join.
@Cassowarysaur Okay, after some deliberation, I will accept this character, even if it makes it three bois with significant overlap. I have several conditions, though.

  • Please. Pretty please. Do not write anything so baroque again. I had to read the whole thing a grand total of 4 times before making any sense.
  • You mention perfection and inhuman intelligence. If you use that as excuse to bullshit through everything, I will have your character eat Misato's cooking. All the time. Perception is fine, but all pilots are going to perform roughly the same for the sake of fun and balance.
  • He still is not a successful pilot of Unit-02. He merely has just become the pilot of Unit-02. So, technically he did not succeed at piloting. Yet.
  • Make it be a female character I know it will be fun.
@Lmpkio



Please cease this behaviour immediately.

(OOC I really mean it. It is weirding me out.)
@Holy Grail Approved. Glad to know there is a female besides Rei.

@Cassowarysaur Hmm... I will need to think over this one a bit more carefully. Stay tuned.
Four. Can slot five if need be.
