I'll definitely post Allaina arriving, and mention Tagorn arriving as well today. I prefer not to puppet people's characters if I can avoid it, but I'll move us to the meeting if it goes for too long. I also recognize that it is the weekend, and people rarely post on the weekend, for some reason. I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt there. There are also two people I sent messages to that I am awaiting a response from. If they are no longer interested, then I'll need to reopen the interest check and get a few new people before the attack on the ship. And remember, you can post your character arriving at the meeting point if you wish, so you will not have to wait.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Ssarak Dyreackthanose

---

Ssarak leaned himself up against a nearby column, letting the head of his axe rest on the ground while he held lightly onto the end of its handle. He closed his eyes a moment and let out a deep breath, though he could already feel that he was about to get a headache. A good deal of fatigue came over him, though it was nothing some rest, and maybe a meal or two, could not fix. He was proud of his actions, however. For once in his life, he was saving lives instead of taking them.

"Psychomancy can have many effects, not all of which are harmful. I would rather save a life than to take one." Ssarak said, opening his eyes to look at the Forest Elf. "As an Esyire, I can project the essence of my blood into a sort of breath attack. For other bloods, that might be fire, or lightning, or even shards of rock. For psychomancy, the effect is not quite so directly harmful. Mine in particular has a calming effect on the victim, along with other effects one would commonly associate with various types of drugs. It was, however, exhausting."

I think I'm going to go to bed for the night. You can post going to the next day if you like, or I can do it later. Your choice. After that, I'll probably do a time skip that will take us most of the way to our destination, if that is alright.

"Hmm, I could do with some dinner. Something raw, as usual." Ahnasha said, smiling as she embraced the idea of someone serving her needs. It would be nice to have someone helping her, as there was a lot she would need to start thinking about soon enough. After dealing with this Orc werwolf hunter, it would probably be best for her to stay out of danger. Between her lycan regeneration and Meesei's healing capabilities, she could reasonably be expected to survive some rather terrible wounds, but the same was not true for her child. It would probably also be helpful for her to start varying her diet beyond just meat. Perhaps using moon sugar as a spice would help to make that more bearable.

"I'm just hoping to reach this Orc before it gets too bad. I'm glad I can shift safely into my werewolf form while in this state, else I probably wouldn't be nearly as helpful in the coming hunt." She commented.

"Nothing yet, but it won't be long. It will be months before it becomes visually obvious, but there are some..unpleasant symptoms that will happen a bit earlier. I think I'm ready to deal with it, though, at least I hope so. Runt said she could make potions to alleviate some of my symptoms, as long as she has the spare ingredients. I'll probably have to deal with things like, nausea and vomiting...and fatigue, headaches, nosebleeds, soreness, abdominal pain...you know, all the fun stuff." Ahnasha said, giving him a pat on the back and another laugh. "Don't worry, as long as you dedicate yourself to serving my every whim, I probably won't get upset with you. Probably. Mood swings are also pretty common, according to Meesei."

Ahnasha still didn't blame Fendros for what happened, though she was a bit worried about how she might feel in the future. With all the symptoms she had just described, she realized she might not be in her right mind at all times soon enough.

Hmm, I'm curious as to what the teachers or staff would say to Ssarak about this. I'm not sure who witnessed it, other than Alaira.

Ahnasha smiled, throwing her arm over his shoulders as well as she let out a chuckle. "Thank you, I'll make sure to hold you to that one, count on it. Also, do me a favor and keep me away from alcohol; that would be bad for our child. Right now, I wouldn't even consider drinking, but after Meesei told me what to expect after a few months...well, let's just say I'll probably be wanting a drink to help deal with it all." She said. She was still holding her arm around his shoulder, as she was reluctant to let go of him.

Meanwhile, Meesei was finishing up skinning the headless Altmer. She separated the skin from the body and laid it over a rock to dry, then dragged the corpse over to a mostly empty sack near the fire so she could start to cutting the meat. "Do not worry Ahnasha, I'm going to make sure no harm comes to your child. If it means I have to tie you up in the back of a cave and force you to make the right choices, then that is what I will do." She said with a laugh, something that was directly opposed to the macabre act she was performing in cutting up the Altmer corpse.

Sorry if my posts are a bit short. I'm having to multitask with posting in another rp.

"Ah, don't worry about it. I am Khajiit, remember? Moon sugar only appears naturally in Elsweyr, and it is deeply intertwined in our culture. You would be hard pressed to find a Khajiit in the homeland who does not eat moon sugar, even when with child. It's probably one of the reasons we have such strong resistances to it. Moon sugar does not effect us in the same way it does other races. Any of you all could potentially get addicted to it, but I do not have to worry about that near as much. Skooma on the other hand..that's just poison. I'm glad you gave it up when you did, because you probably would have taken over your life had you not." She said, sitting back up.

Ahnasha placed a hand on his shoulder and stared him in the eyes. "Seriously, never go near that stuff, or my moon sugar. If you're going to be a father, you'll need to be at your best."

Ahnasha chuckled. "Indeed, this is the first think I have eaten in months that isn't meat. It's not so much the sweetroll as it is the moon sugar, though. There is a very good reason my people are so fond of it. And no, you cannot have any. That would probably be a very bad idea." She said, quickly finishing off the rest of the confection. She laid down on her back and took in a deep breath and closed her eyes, enjoying the sensations it gave her. "I really do wish you could experience this, but, like I said, bad idea. You might get addicted or something."
