From Oubliette to Oublioth [R.I.P]

Artemisia de Chauret

“Probably not,” Artemisia agreed, watching the spearwoman ascend up the stonework with her rope.

Although she’d come this far, the mounted adventurer was unwilling to part with her horse to explore deeper into the ruins. She valued her belongings far too much to venture too far away from them, and if she brought everything with her, she was pretty sure she’d snap Cecilia’s rope and break her neck falling down. If one of her new companions stayed behind, they could tend to her horse, but with her companions being little more than ragtag band, she wasn’t too sure if one of them wouldn’t make off on her horse at the first sign of any real trouble. So, she’d stay.

Artemisia made a wave of dismissal at Cecilia as Annabelle began to ascend. “Think I’ll stay behind with the horse and hold down a path for retreat, unless we find a better way around.”

With that, she dismounted, and began fishing for snacks to renew the picnic from earlier. As she pulled out a bit of bread and jerky, she noticed the fashionably dressed man was still with her.

“Had your fill of adventuring for the evening?” She held out a hand, offering some of her jerky.

Alas, Xalt doesn't allow playable vampires.

Healers adjust, eh?

Somebody plays FFXIV.

There we go, one cruddy post. Back in the game though.

Artemisia de Chauret

With the matter of Annabelle’s scandalous dress settled for the time being –Artemisia certainly wasn’t charitable enough to give the stranger a fashion makeover—she settled into a more comfortable position, shrugging as the broken but pretty man passed on the potion.

“Ah.”

It seemed Cecilia was a little more friendly than she thought. In any other situation, Artemisia wouldn’t have given even a passing amount of attention to the urchin boy that had inadvertently brought down hell on their party. Forcing a smile, she gave a token nod to the boy, but raised an eyebrow as he stammered his greeting. A bit pitiful, really…

But apparently Cecilia was totally into his type. Suppressing the urge to scoff as the noble girl ruffled the little urchin’s hair, she settled with rolling her eyes as the Cecilia closed in on her prey.

“We’ll have time to continue the picnic later,” she agreed with Annabelle, spoiling the other noble’s fun. By the time Cecilia kicked up her spear and nobly offered to lead the way, Artemisia was already remounted and checking on her horse.

“Didn’t seem like you needed help getting up before.”

I'll have something up by the end of the week. Sorry about the delay!

I am fine with these theoretical courses of events

Artemisia de Chauret

With the little melee finally over, and with the enemy party making good their escape with their backs turned to them, Artemisia let out a sigh. Pulling through on the rest of her healing spell on Locke, she dismounted to get a better look at the man, since he truly seemed to be in a sorry state. Although his clothes were torn and his mask cracked, it seemed that he would live.

Compared to him, the rest of their impromptu party seemed to be fairing quite well. Sure, some of them were bloody and bruised, but they were all ambulatory and talking, although she shot a suspicious glance towards the pair that had shown up uninvited, even if they did help on their side during the fight. She glanced over as Cecilia made her way over, raising an eyebrow at her hobbling gait.

Artemisia almost offered to have a look at her wounds when her noble companion produced a regenerative potion; although she thought differently on the matter, preferring to use magic over exhausting consumables, she shrugged and took the bottle. She’d come out unscathed during the skirmish, despite the best efforts of Glum and his skeleton, so she passed the vial on to Locke.

“Maybe,” she replied neutrally, giving her two companions a look-over once more. Cecilia was pretty positive for how beat-up their little group was, Misia herself notwithstanding. Gladly accepting one of her cookies, she shrugged. “I think this entire fracas could have been prevented with some better diplomacy on our part, though.” Artemisia glanced towards Ciel, the cause of the entire mess. It seemed she didn’t truly believe in those words.

Her eyes then fell on Annabelle as she walked over. She too received an eyeful from Artemisia. “If you’re making this arrangement permanent, I would suggest you get some clothes to wear.”

Damn, my condolences. This virus is really getting to all of us.
