The Crucible - Winner Take All

Sister Sophia

Location: the Park - Quenched Forest Cinders
Talking with: Jin Sunrise @floodtalon

She hadn’t actually thought about the alias situation while she had been here. Far more pressing issues at hand she supposed. Considering they had given her the name of her rank/occupation sunspot was an odd alias in comparison. She wondered if it meant something somewhere.

”Sophia or Seraphim. Up to you”

She continued her steady trudging through the woods towards her destination as she listened to Jin

"Well I kill people for money. And fun. I think whatever religion exists I'm going to hell. So unless your religion is cool with pointless murder than no."

Ah, so he was an assassin, or perhaps a mercenary. His phrasing suggested the former. Useful information if this did come to blows. However she thought that maybe it might not, seeing as her religion wasn’t one of those soft ones that preached mercy and compassion. The Ecclesiarchy was very fond of fire and brimstone approach, she imagined Jin might fit in more than he expected.

”with pointless murder? No. But murder with a purpose? The destruction of the enemies of mankind, the purging of the corrupt and the inhuman from this world? From all worlds! ”

The woman's voice rose with a fiery passion through her speech

"Jin, there is no greater service to the Emperor than to destroy his enemies. From the battlefield to their most private sanctums: no-mater where they die every dead foe is one step closer to glory! Join me, turn your skills to a holy purpose and you shall be rewarded. In this life you shall reap the gains of humanity and when you die in his service you shall ascend to the Emperor's table to live eternal."

In the background Geromory become increasingly disgusted with Sophia's preaching.

”Join us Jin and save your mortal soul from damnation! Join me and we can end this charade of a tournament together. With out forces combined we can destroy the xenos filth and heretical technology that infests these ruins. Think to yourself, is what you desire truly worth trusting a machine that devours souls? How could such a device possibly not be evil? It will inevitably betray you and do something awful instead! After all, this used to be a thriving city, the most advanced in the world. Yet you must have seen it, seen the empty streets, the ruins. What if that device is responsible? What might it do if fed again? Tell me your desire Jin, tell me what you crave so greatly that it is worth this risk?”

She finished, panting slightly. By the time she had finished her raving she was almost halfway to the supply cache.

The Nomad, a sci-fi epic.

how big is the colony anyway. Is it basically a town near a colony ship landing sight, a bunch of small towns a la the old west or something else. I was thinking of maybe either making a character that is the colony's (meager) automated defense system or perhaps an alien trader that got trapped there. Knowing the scale of the colony would be useful in both those circumstances.

War Notes

She paused in eating for a moment when asked about the Doctor

“She’s my aunt I think. Or maybe cousin. Our family tree is pretty confusing as a result of all the adoptions”

Realising this probably made no sense to them without more information she added.

“My grandmother Ambrosia Clemmons was a noble who started adopting children who lost their parents to disease and then encouraging them to become doctors when they grow up.”

Encouraged was perhaps a little bit of an understatement, it was highly unusual to find a Clemmons who was not involved in the medical arts in some way.

“She turned her manor near ze capital into a combination hospital, medical school and orphanage called the Ambrosia Medical Institute. She’s been doing this for years now, so you’ll find Clemmons all over ze country. Some of them have even started settling down and having children. So she is either someone who was adopted and thus my aunt, or ze daughter of someone who was and thus my cousin”

She finished explaining and resumed her eating, listening to what the others might respond until the commotion outside began.

“What is going out there?”

She wondered aloud, putting down her porridge and taking a step out of their little lodgings to investigate. There seemed to be some kind of confrontation going on between a rather well dressed woman (Althea was not much of a military expert and so was unable to identify the uniform even if she had seen it before)and a rather gruff man who might have been a Sargent. Or an Officer. Someone of rank anyway. Althea more or less ignored them both once she caught sight of the wounded and rushed back into the common room, retrieved her bag. It seemed that they were once again going to be interrupted during their meal by the appearance of injured men.

“There's some kind of confrontation and an injured patrol out there. Might have been wolfs like the ones that attacked us.”

She informed anyone who hadn’t gone to investigate themselves before hurrying back out and up to the circle of onlooking troops.

“Could one of you stop gawking and go tell Dr Clemons about ze wounded? I am sure your comrades would appreciate it if they got help as soon as possible”

She asked the soldiers in a polite tone as she stepped past them and very carefully skirted around the confrontation, which Finis had joined since she last looked, and went to help the wounded.

“I have medical training, who need help the most?”

I'm thinking Luke, with city states built around geothermal spots. the geothermal spots where used first for metallurgy and then for power-stations and civs naturally formed around these impotent sites.

I was also thinking of having a space elevator seeing as you can build one with Kevlar if you go to worlds even slightly smaller than earth. Luke is so small and low g they probably don't even need to be that tall, it lets them stick to the whole geothermal power theme by running power from them up the cables.

Also because space elevators are cool and they should be in more Sci-Fi

only a start obviously


also octopuses in spacesuits

Apotheosis

Well she supposed that was a somewhat reasonable reason to call Yggdrasil a freak, though it was still rather rude in her opinion. Still, his information was certainly interesting, though she wasn’t entirely familiar with all of the concepts. While she could sit here all day asking follow up questions she decided against badgering the mage for any more information. Plenty of time to find out what control domains and the like where in future.

As for the info that they were not the only ones who had that foreign inforamtion thing, well, that wasn’t that surprising. There was a whole brood of them with that same status, the odds of them being the only ones like that seemed slim. She took his advice of not getting full of herself or going to his father's tower to hart and then turned to Sabu.

”So what’s next on the tour?"

Konosuba: This Wonderful World's Alternative Paradigm

@Spriggs27

It was while Rita was pondering how to get money for her card that the strangest thing arrived. Rita had seen horses before, she had seen humans, she had never seen this odd combination of the two. Was it a half breed or some mad mages creation. She was not sure why either creation method would occur. How would the former even work.

Rita was thankfully pulled out of her train of thought by the horse lady pulling out a bag and offering money for people to get adventurer cards. It was like they the universe was taunting her with easy solutions to problems then adding massive roadblocks in the way. Maybe she could disguise herself as a short human by stealing bed sheets and making a robe?

Wait. Where did the bush go?

It was at this point Rita’s conscious mind caught up with the fact that she was making a beeline for the bag. She hadn’t quite got the hang of this whole thinking about things before she acted deal yet. As a result the hyper aggressive bit of her goblin mind had seen a thing she wanted and had got her body to charge it without consulting the more logical part that was taking advantage of the ring’s stat boost.

The wee goblin committed to her course of action, her cover now blown anyway and increased her scampering pase. She crossing the space between her hiding spot and the horse lady in 3 seconds, dodging through the legs of the Big’uns as she went before leaping up past the bag, plunging a tiny hand inside and grabbing as many coins as she could manage.

If the jumping were viewed in slow motion it would be seen that the goblin approached from the side of Yuji, then leaped in a flip so that she passed by the woman's field of view upside down, a toothy reckless grin on her face, as she plunged her hand down into the bag and withdrew some coins before landing nimbly on her feet.

”Thankyouverymuchgoobye!”

She shouted as she flew through the air. Then, carrying her momentum from the run-up and leap, she attempted a get away, sprinting for the closest embankment that lead to the lake, intending to lose any of her armored pursuers in the lake's waters or the surrounding foliage. She had shoved the random coins into the waterproof satchel and was running on all fours again, clawed hands and feet digging into the ground as she fled.

”I’ll pay you back later!”

If unhindered she would cannonball into the lakes shimmering waters and make for the closest heavily foliage area along the shore.

Alien I think.
Possibly some kind of aquatic race on Luke or Gabriel.
