@ERode I swear, i am not here to get a horror into a bikini again. Scout's honor!

Legitimately, though, just asking questions here is all. :)

Arkus Academy

@DrowsyPangolin Many thanks for the answers! :D

I have another question or two as well, ah, if that is acceptable:

1. What is the culture, and specifically the government, of Isila like? Is it like a "Pharaoh and his court of officials" sort of deal beyond the God-Kind ruling absolute?

2. Does the god king take concubines or such, or is he similar to what Pharaohs did in marry siblings and such?

Just some minor curiosities, yes. Totally not a checking out of ideas as i ponder joining or not, yes.

>_>

<_<

@DrowsyPangolin A question or few from just a curious passerby:

Can someone be two classifications at once? If so, is this rare or common? And finally, is it possible for someone to be born Psychic but somehow able to access mana as a Mage, Shaman, or otherwise?

Second, does this RP use a Discord server?

Sophia von Zeerover

...What in the blazes was all of this?!?!

First she was shoutin' at a hurricaine and trying to not die, then some other lass jumps in on things it seemed, and then someone screamed the name "Su" into things, and then some other group of people beginning to barge into the place. Then the girl who'd been trying to kill her left (maybe taking some of the others with her ?) but leaving the other people behind? The pirate's face twisted into a displeased look, before she ran a hand down her face. Her stomach, in turn, rumbled with a now more intense hunger than it had before as well.

This sucked like all hell at the moment.

Sure, the contracting with the blasted ship hadn't been a bad thing at least. And she'd been tryin' to talk to someone and ascertain the situation ere'. But with the more that happened right now, her frustrations were growing more and more towards a boiling point. She was not happy with all of this back and forth, and a lack of answers for that matter.

She was even willing to talk, for Vanderdecken's sake! But no, someone just had to try to murder her, and all the world arrive to cut things off. Though she didn't want her intentions to be held wrong, she was happy for any assistance in not dying. That was a good thing.

...But it was the lack of anything else from the girl who had tried to murder her in cold blood that was getting under her skin the most. No words, no nothing but a sudden disappearance or escape or something.

"Blast it all! First i'm waking up alive fer' the first time at all, then a blasted ship contracts me for some reasons ave' 'oh there's a nasty monster nearby who might want ya' body', an' then i get prodded by a blasted prosthetic to talk to a girl, and then get drug off to all of this!!!

I've got all tha' damned questions in tha' world for all of ya' landlubbers, an i'm gettin' mah' answers from that girl first, dammit!"

The large cannon-armed transport ship, which had been floating in the distance, began moving over towards Sophia as soon as Su had disappeared. And quickly. Its ghostly appearance as it came to float over Sophia was more visible and distinct up-front, however. A certain "eeriness" about it that, and odd magical energy that hung in the air that differed from Soth's own presence a great deal. Its sails had some tatters, its hull some worn look to it, and the anchor and chains on it clinked a little as it moved even. But it also seemed to gleam with a certain "newness" to it, magically-speaking at least. It wasn't Sophia's patron, but it was at least a nice bit of magical craftsmanship.

Sophia used the chain arm prosthetic to reach up, grappling onto the ship's deck, before pulling herself up onto it.

'Alright, can ya bring this ship back ta' normal-world then? I'm goin' after tha' girl for answers. Not ta fight er', but...blast it all this might not look good.

Jus' get me back, an' send whatever thing patrons tha' girl a message then, or somethin' to let em' know we are in peace!'

The pirate communicated back to her patron with a bit of a huff, trying to focus her willpower into calming down...at least a little. Maybe. She was feeling a bit irate, and the ship seemed to take it in before communicating back in its own rough approximation of a 'language'.

'...Creak creak...RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE, CLINK CLANK RATTLE!'

Before Beacon's eyes, the transport ship, with Sophia on it, began to seemingly shimmer out of existence. Or something. A fog was forming around where it was too, so it was becoming rather hard to tell, even on Sophia's end. But she could feel something at work, at least.

More than that, however-

'Well at least ya can get be back, this time-...

...-Whadda' ya' mean 'please don't go after er right now' an' 'what do you think would make a good gift basket'??? I'm goin' after er' to talk, nay a battle in me bones right now! Ah' jus' need answers!

'CREAK CRACK, RATTLE CLINK...'

'...WHAT?! Did ya speak ta' ya own shipwright with that mouth back in tha' day?! Don't ya sass me, ya haunted hunk of wood!'

'...CREAK CLACK, RATTLE RATTLE CLINK CLINK. RATTLE CLINK CREAK.'

'...Ok, ok. If ya nervous then lemme' do the taklin. Sorry fer' the insult, am' jus' in a bad mood myself after all ah' this, ok? We both kinda figurin' this out...

An' i dunno', jus' send fruits and shiny baubles and such i'd want ta' think. I was just born ta'-day, so its not like i know what a blasted gift basket needs ta' have in this case. Fact, I don't even know who this lass' blasted patron is, like ya' apparently do.

Look, were both new ta' this, jus' do what ya' can!'

~Other Side, Back In Penrose~

As the pirate conversed mentally with her patron, she felt a tug similar to what had been done before to bring her to that...alien city, world, place...thing? She had no idea for sure, would probably ask later on or just get told about it. The ship seemed to have a talkative penchant for somethin' without proper speaking capabilities.

In the meantime, a fog-shrouded flying ship would be appearing in the air over the crypt. More slowly than Su and company had reappeared, but it was appearing. Its magical energy was at least different to the kind Soth had given off, completely so if nothing else.

'CREAK CLINK! RATTLE CLINK...CREAK CREAK!'

'Good ta' her ya' in a better mood! And i accept ya apology. I'll refrain from ya' having to bring me back again, tho, since this takes ya' time an' struggle n' all.'

Walking over to the edge of the ship, Sophia looked down and tried to make out if the winds-lass was around here, or if she'd left already. Her eyes squinted hard as she tried to pick out anything among the people still lingering in the area. Anything recognizable, at least. Maybe....like a hairstyle! That could work, right? That winds-lass had a distinct hair at least.

But maybe some shouting would help? She was close enough for em' to hear...maybe.

"Ey!!! Winds-lass, er....Su? I think that's ya name? If ya can ear' me, an' are down ere' at all, there's some things ah' need ta' ask ya about! Can answer questions as well best i can, ah' suppose!"

'CREAK? CREAK CLINK RATTLE CLINK CREAK.'

"Ah' know i'm shoutin' down to all of em' where they can ear' me.....don' afta' tell me how ta' project my voice more loudly...sides', i'm waitin to see if the lass is down ere' at all....idiot..." the pirate girl responded in a normal voice, as if speaking to herself as she puffed her slightly reddening cheeks out and folded her arms for a second.

Ok, so maybe her shouting could use some work in technique. But she didn't need a blasted ghost ship telling her like it was her schoolteacher givin' a lesson! So embarrassing...

@Ceta de Cloyes Ah, so just preferred and not required? Makes sense. XD

Many thanks for the answer!

Anomalous

@Artifex Just a little side question from a passerby (myself):

Does everyone here have to use a realistic photo, or are other pictures allowed but everyone just happened to choose realistic photo?

Many thanks in advance!

Sophia von Zeerover

Before she could even speak more to the blood-covered girl and crying girl with the cats, Sophia found herself in a very alien and strange environment. No warning. No pause. No speaking. More than that, the pirate found herself wheeling around to witness a magical girl taking to the sky with devilishly vile wings of tentacles.

Then came the wave of emotion that washed over her, familiarly human yet at the same time alien. Rage. Anger against the world.

"What in the bloody blazes is goin' on ere'?! the pirate girl said, barely getting out her words before the mysterious girl who had drug her here finally said something.

”I came here for my friend’s body, and I’m not leaving without it.”

The girl wasn't going to slow down for her, or seemingly say anything else. A pillar if winds seemed to descend down upon the flying girl, and her preparation to attack hte pirate was more than obvious.

'What in the-...? Wait a second!'

What her patron had told her, er, back there in her head! Something about a ritual and some kind of monster tryin' to use it to get her body, and that tear in the sky as some 'Soth' thing? She'd sat up with a blasted sheet on her body too, and that one other lass had asked her about the name "Shining Scale" or something.

That was all she had to run on other than a blasted ghost ship-...

...Oh fecking hell.

'CREEEEAK CREEEEAK! RATTLE RATTLE CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAK!!!'

'Feckin' hell, ya dastard! You coulda' tried to communicate that when it was more relevant, but...blast it all. Not like ya knew this was comin', nor did i.

I just got the damn idea, though, that i was maybe made from a damn corpse!

But i think it's too late fer' this lass' ta' listen to anythin' at the moment! Just git yer' ass ere' or otherwise if ya' gonna help!'

Her patron creaked a last message to the end of 'good luck and i'll send help soon', before its voice disappeared from within her skull once more. Not that the help would matter if she'd been cut open a new one by this lass with the wings by that point. Curse it all, she'd just woken up today! What in the blazes was going on here to cause this to appen' to her?!

The pirate had no time to pause, however, gritting her teeth as her opponent dove at her with seemingly lethal intent. She'd didn't want to die the day she'd just been born!

Sophia reached out the chain arm to her side without thinking, a pair of chains shooting from it and latching onto the side of a nearby alien lamp post a bit away from her. The chains then pulled with force, yanking the magical girl and prosthetic (which seemed to prod her mind with some form of approval) out of Su's and her tornado's current trajectory. This placed her to the right, even if out of the way, of Su...well, for the moment at least.

Snapping the thumb and middle finger on her right hand, Sophia cast a spell between herself and Su. An array of basketball-sized mines appeared, floating in the air between the two. Aerial mines of some sort, about a dozen of them, and meant to deter the girl sucking em' in with her tornado. It wasn't too much, but she had enough mana to spare and then some for this.

'CREAK.'

'Here you go'? What kind of message was that-?

In the air, a ship-like form seemed to shimmer into existence far to Sophia's left, and behind Su out of the girl's view altogether (for the moment). A large, seaworthy vessel that had an imposing look and be a little distance from the two magical girls themselves. Cannons lines its above and below decks, with plenty of room for a crew and loot! It made her heart swell with a kind of pride...odd for the situation.

She felt a tie to the boat flutter into her mind as well. Well...this was useful. She had to give that pile of wood credit for this, at least!

"Lass! I dunno' why you are tryin' ta' kill me ere' and all.

I just woke up fer' the first time a few minutes ago, contracted to some bloody ghost ship who said somethin' about not lettin' a monster get in this body!

What is this all about?! I dunna' wanna' a fight at all, but if ya' keep attackin' ave' gotta defend myself!" Sophia shouted back at Su, all whilst trying to prepare her next move in case the other girl would try to continue attacking her. Her chain arm seemed to ready itself as well, at least prepare to probably try to drag her out of the way again.

Sophia von Zeerover

"Eh? Shinin' Scale? It don't ring no bells for me at all, girlie, but it sounds like a fine pirate name at least. Yer' talkin' to tha' Dread Pirate Zeerover right now, though!" Sophia said, giving a winning grin to the Beacon girl as she spoke, slowing standing up as well from where she was sitting.

The sheet fell off of her gently and onto the alien blood-stained ground, though at the same time a certain "clink" could be heard as the chain arm still wrapped onto Sophia moved. As soon as the pirate stood up, however, the chain arm seemed to come to life, reeling itself in and wrapping itself around Sophia's left arm like some kind of armor. The pirate girl, somewhat surprised, took a look at it for a few seconds...before giving a light shrug.

She then began to look around herself in earnest, between the ruins, and alien blood goo, and...was that a tear in the sky filled with a maddening blood red sky and tentacles?

'CREEEEEEAK!'

Oh, so that was the 'Soth' thing she'd been told about? Sheesh...at least it didn't seem to be doing anything so far.

"Oi, i hope all of this isn't some blasted normal ere'. So ah' take it tha' a battle just got wrapped up, an' me n' the maid lass ere' somehow resulted outta this if i hafta' make a' assumption.

On tha' other note, this wee thing seems a tad attached to meh for some reason. But it seems friendly n' all, so i'll let it ave' its place ere' fer' now." the pirate said to Alicia, letting out an exasperated sigh as she felt her own stomach rumble aloud.

Then the pirate girl's eyes, still trying to take in the scenery about her, landed on another peculiar sight. A blood-stained girl hugging a sad-lookin' girl with cats around her? Though the blood-stained one seemed rather sad herself a bit too. It tugged at the pirate's heartstrings, seeing what she assumed to be comrades trying to give some comfort after what seemed to have been a hell of a battle...at least if the scenery was telling enough. That, and the new prosthetic she had over her left arm seemed to prod her slightly when looking at the two.

"Ah...i'll be right back, lass. Gotta' look into somethin', ah' think?"

This sounded so very dumb, but she was new to all of this and wanted answers anywho. So with a casual stride, Sophia made her way over to where Sammy and Amaryllis were, taking a knee next to them. She reached out with a tentative poke on Amaryllis' shoulder with her left hand, still covered in the prosthetic chain arm.

"Er, sorry ta' interrupt ya' both...but this here arm that's gone an' attached isself' ta' me prodded me ta' come over ere'.

I dunno' what appened', but ah'...ah' could take ya out fer' some food, perhaps? Er..."

She'd have to steal some cash for the meal, but...dammit all this was awkward as it could be right now. Stupid arm bringin' her over here without giving her a clear reason! Twas' just like that ship, if she had to confess it.

Serenity Gates

"Meep!"

The maid let out a tiny, meek 'meep' sound before hiding her face in her hands. This was, at least, as Jenna poked her face and got very close to her. The questions didn't make her any less nervous either.

It was awkward enough for all of this to have happened to her. B-But to have someone guess who she was so soon was much worse!!! She didn't want to die here, but this girl had to be psychic or something! How was she supposed to do penance if she was killed or locked up right now! Oh no....

...W-Wait a second.

"U-U-Umm...y-you must be psychic? A-Ah, n-not to assume, a-a-anywho...b-but i'll b-bring m-my most recent memory t-to the s-surface if y-y-you w-want to know...please don't kill me!"

Serenity kept her face covered, however, and her voice low enough just for Jenna to hear. The last few words of hers came out in the tiniest squeak of a scared voice as well. Her raw nervousness was itself rather palpable to boot, and her mind wasn't the exact same 'Soth fragment' from before. More like...its that, but also made human, maybe? Something. It was an incredibly odd thing, but as promised Serenity was pulling up those most recent memories before her transformation into her mind (if Jenna wanted to attempt to look).

There was enough stuff in Serenity's mind to become easily confusing if it wasn't dredged up to the surface for someone to read. The timid maid herself was well aware of that much at least.

'Hmm...well this is interesting, but in an unexpected way i wish to watch play out from afar.

Though i must say, that slaughter and look of despair was to die for~

So i will leave this world to its machinations...at least for now.

Tata for now, mortals~'

The booming voice of the greater horror spoke from the sky one last time, before it tendrils began to pull the rifts in the sky back together once more. Like a little kid trying to hold the parts of a ripped blanket together, except in this case it was actually working. The sky seemed to knit itself shut once more at Soth's behest, until not a trace of the Greater Horror's presence nor the damage in the sky remained.

Though as Soth's voice had rung out in its final message, Serenity seemed to tremble and pull her legs in close to her. Like a scared child, of sorts.

@t2wave

my original interest check; new, and improved- more ideas added!

@pearllop Just wanted to hop by and give ya a friendly: "Welcome to the guild"! :D

Also, er, a suggestion to try to help ya with one of the less fleshed out stuff because my sleepy brain decided it was a good idea:

-You could make that Wild West idea a "supernatural wild west" if you wanted. A wild, untamed wilderness with more than meets the eye as people move out west for riches and the wild frontier!

Hope you find a great writing partner, and have a great day/night! :)
