Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Dang. I won't go any easier on him than punching him in the face!

Might have difficulty reaching his face, given the height difference.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

After his new roommate left, Ssarak remained in his room for a while longer. Now that his room was in order, he had little to do other than sit and think. The overall feeling of the room reminded him of his home, which inevitably brought his thoughts onto the topic of his past. His axe and armor were reminders of his father, but he had nothing left of anyone else. Not his mother, his wife, his children, nothing. They lived on only in his memories, which would have to be enough, he supposed. His marriage had been arranged from birth, but his wife was a good person, and he had loved his children with all his heart. The loss of them and the rest of his family had sapped all meaning from his life and replaced it with regret. He tried constantly to move past that event and on with his life, but every time he was left alone with his thoughts, it seemed, they emerged once more.

Ssarak brought himself out of his ruminations when he realized the opening feast was close at hand. He was ready to attend, though his mood had been soured somewhat by his own thoughts. He needed something to keep his mind occupied when he was alone, a project of some sort. Walking over to the rune, he touched it once more, summoning forth a large block of wood almost as tall as himself. The dark black material came from the only type of tree that could actually grow somewhere in the Scorched lands. He knew what he intended to make from it, though for now, he was eager to get to the feast.

Using the gargoyles to give him directions, Ssarak made his way to the dining hall, and was immediately overwhelmed by everything he experienced. It was a massive room that was packed with the largest crowd he had ever seen. Scents of all types flooded the room, from food and drink to the students themselves, though they all blended together to the point that they were almost indistinguishable. Merely glancing at the feast revealed an expansive variety of items, most of which would likely be entirely new to him. His mood quickly elevated in the presence of such splendor, and he eagerly anticipated the displays of magic they had been told about before.

As he walked around the room, Ssarak managed to spot one of the two familiar faces he knew of at the college: Aruna. He still felt a bit embarrassed over what happened, but he felt it would be good to apologize and clear up any misunderstandings. He approached the Half-Esyire and bowed slightly. “Greetings, Aruna. I…would like to apologize for what happened before. My new roommate explained what happened, and where the misunderstanding arose. Evidently, human culture treats men and women differently, a concept of which I was unaware. I do not know if you heard in my rushed stammering before, but in my village, men and women alike would often share common housing, so I was unaware of the…implications of my request.” He said in a polite tone.

Toxic Diamond said
Aruna is, but she'll probably attack you if you sit next to her.

He might want to take the chance to attempt to apologize to her, now that he actually knows what is going on.

I don't suppose there is anyone who currently doesn't have anyone to talk to during the feast?

Finally got the site to load. Now I just have to figure out what to do with Ssarak.

I probably should have considered what to have Ssarak do at the feast before now. At any rate, I'll post tomorrow, as it is late right now.

Kayal could respond, in this situation.

And I was supposed to have Kilith approach our new character. I'll do it in the next one.

"Indeed, if anything happens to Allaina, I'll slit your throat." Sharee responded in a matter-of-fact tone. She wanted to see if Allaina was capable of what she needed to be in order to really be helpful to Sharee, but she still wanted to protect her investment, so to speak. Even if the girl did not have useful skills at the moment, she could be taught.

"Now, Sarel has only been in there for one night, but I'd like to spring him out as soon as possible. The longer he's in there, the more of a chance that the guards will recognize him when we're escaping. Plus, if they torture him, it could put scars on his face that could give away his identity. Therefore, we're going to start this in a few hours. I know it's not much warning, but think of it as a test of your creativity. Kayal, Allaina, you two will need to start a distraction outside the prison that will grab the guards' attention, and like I said before, one that won't get you arrested. Make sure to wait a few minutes after I go inside to start. Tagorn, since we'll be doing this in daylight, you should probably wait until the distraction starts to begin scaling the walls. Now, I need to get to work on these dyes." Sharee said before sitting down at the table and starting on crushing up the appropriate flowers with her mortar and pestle.

Yeah, it's only been a day or two. I'm waiting for a response from leon or saarabas, at which point I'll also have someone approach your character.

I suppose I'll just leave Ssarak in his room until it's time for the skip, then.
