Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

A random thought popped into my head. The race description says Esyire are immune to their own mageblood, so how would that apply to a half-Esyire? 50% resistant?

Ssarak nodded to Aruna. He did acknowledge that the Forest Elf at least seemed to be trying to help, so her intentions were at least positive. However, Ssarak was well aware that intentions did not excuse one's actions. Were intentions all that mattered, then he would be a hero to his people, instead of an exile and a murderer. He was a living example of how the greatest evils could be committed with the best of intentions.

As Aruna left to refill her bowl, Ssarak finished off one of his steaks and moved on to the seafood. He looked around at the crowd as he ate, trying to distract himself from the rather depressing line of thought his mind seemed to be going down. There were so many different people of all shapes and sizes; there were races that he had never seen before, and others he had never even heard of. Humans and Elves, Esyire and Half-Snakes, walking plants and Winged Humans, all of these beings and more were crowding the dining hall; he simply could not tell which were of the races of Tien, and which were demons. In this environment, that line was blurred beyond recognition.

Unfortunately, while Ssarak was observing the crowd around him, he became distracted and one of the inherent abilities of his mageblood slipped into action. Suddenly, his mind started reaching out to those around him, reading into their thoughts. For the most part, he felt the emotions and inclinations of those around him without mental barriers, all of them. All of the joy, sadness, curiosity, pride, anger, pleasure, pain, hope, and regret. All of it swarmed his mind at once, overwhelming all of his senses. There were some words mixed in with the emotions as well, but with the sheer number of people around him, they all jumbled together into incoherent noise, like everyone in the room was shouting in his ear all at once. All of this combined gave him a massive, splitting headache, causing him to lean forward onto his hands as he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and rubbed his temples, quite obviously in pain. For the moment, he was unresponsive as he tried his best to attempt to reign in his blood and stop the mass of voices from assaulting his mind.

Well, I would have to see a sample of what you mean really to completely understand what you mean. Mind sending me a PM example to help my understanding, please?

Well, now that I think on it, I guess it would only really be useful for the person who made the decision, and the major stuff can be handled by the system you're putting in place. I suppose it isn't necessary.

Mesa Gaan is one of 3 Naga cities in Yarsomere. :p

Every time I see Mesa Gaan, I end up reading it as Maar Gan.

I was more referring to the smaller things we do in the RP. For instance, I've made a few posts that add a few details on the culture of clan Dyre, and mentioned a few details of life in the scorched lands. I copied them over into a document for my own reference, but for other things, other people might need to go back and reference them. Essentially, I think it would be good to have a place to reference the smaller details that don't necessarily fit into any of the above categories, but could be important at some point.

Btw, the CS is coming along nicely into a nice well of info to have PC use to reference for RP data or double check their facts.

Alright, will we be able to provide links/summaries of information that could be useful that we establish in the future? Hopefully, without putting all of the burden on you to keep it updated.

Hahaha, him and Mar could get along well. :p

Indeed. Have the two of them in the same room not talking to each other and being fine with it. The perfect match.

Meanwhile, Ssarak is just silently eating his steak, trying not to accidentally solicit anyone.

Once Sharee finished dying her feathers a bright shade of red, she worked on the more time intensive process of changing the coloration patterns of her scales. She found a nice reflective surface so she could get a good look at herself, then slowly and carefully started applying a few different shades of green makeup. Some of the scales that were normally dark became light, and vice versa. She altered the locations, size, and length of the slightly darker sections, and did her best to make sure it was completely believable, even from close inspection. If she wasn't careful, it would be obvious she was wearing makeup, and while that likely would not expose her, it would call into question any descriptions of her appearance when the guards were investigating after the fact. For this, she needed to make sure her scales appeared natural.

After about an hour, Sharee was satisfied enough with her disguise that she decided to head downstairs. Hopefully, the others had figured out their distraction by now, else she would have to figure that out herself. She put on the matching shoes to her embroidered violet dress, then stepped out of her room and walked down to the main room of the tavern. Not only was her appearance completely different, but the way she walked and carried herself perfectly mimicked that of a proper noble in the Empire. She even went as far as shooting quick, judgmental looks to the "filthy commoners" around her. After locating the table her allies were using, Sharee approached, still keeping up her high-class behaviors.

"Alright, are you all set and ready?" Sharee said quietly to the group.

I will post in a bit.

Ssarak Dyreackthanose

---

Ssarak continued to listen quietly to the Forest Elf and Aruna's conversation, finding it difficult to find a way to contribute himself. Evidently, both of them had been the target of failed assassination attempts in the past, which seemed surprising, if a bit unbelievable. Ssarak had never been the target of such attention, though he had found himself on the field of battle many times. Ironically, he probably deserved an assassin's blade in his back more than either of them for his actions. Perhaps if he had remained in the Scorched Lands, one of the members of clan Xhoth would have found it necessary to have him killed, if they were even aware of his role in the event. Before leaving, he knew the leadership of clan Dyre intended to initiate peace talks with their rivals to halt the escalation of bloodshed, but he did not know the result of the talks, or if the clan leaders had revealed his role in the massacre. He still missed his homeland, but it was perhaps for the best that he was away from it.

Eventually, the Forest Elf saw something that, while it was somewhat interesting to Ssarak, seemed to capture her full and undivided attention. It looked like some sort of humanoid plant, and was quite unlike anything he had seen before, but even so, her reaction seemed rather excessive. The Forest Elf left just as quickly as she arrived, brushing off himself and Aruna with only a slight gesture so she could go berate the plant being in the same aggressive tone. Ssarak was beginning to believe that tone was actually her normal speaking voice. Ssarak took another drink of Ember, then glanced over to Aruna. "She seemed to be quite the...brusque individual." He commented simply.
