Ventures in Veridia: The Hexblade Hero [ERode]

Albrecht's mad dash slowed as he realized that the parade was indeed over, his chest heaving up and down in exhaustion and disappointment. Maybe there would be a closing parade after this, but one could never really be so sure. Approaching the workers, the warrior went for his usual tactic of time-killing.

"Hail, friends. Need an extra hand?"

He'd probably do it for free. The faster they set up, the sooner he got to enjoy everything, after all.

DanMachi: Alter Oration [DEAD]

Bit of a rushed post, but whap. Caught up with all my work so I should be able to go back to regularly scheduled posts that happen before the deadline is imminent.

DanMachi: Alter Oration [DEAD]

Well, Tira's sentiment was nice, at least...if Triss had been five years younger and still thought that getting in just because he 'tried' was anything satisfying at all. Sadly, the Pallum still wanted to do something super crazy to proverbially and literally blast Athena's socks off, nevermind the fact that Athena wore stockings on one leg and all. He nodded towards the alchemist girl regardless though. Tira was nice, unlike Grumpy Grent and his propensity for taking impromptu naps. He'll have to do something for her later, maybe.

Before the conversation could continue, however, the book-wielding human stormed down the stairs with book in hand and manic energy in her gait, followed soon after by the goddess herself, who (disappointingly enough) beckoned the stately Renard to receive her falna next. Triss waved Ayame good luck, about turn to his next morning stretches when a dwarf came outta the woodwork. A dwarf that really looked like a dwarf, with a thick beard and the stench of alcohol clinging to his breath! A lecherous sloth of a dwarf, but still, a kindred of Master's was a friend of Triss. Not minding how obvious Brozar cared only for Ayame's presence, Triss bounded up the flight of stairs as well, ponytail bouncing behind him. Neither Athena nor Ayame were particularly wide; it was easy enough for the lithe pallum to slide past them and interpose himself right in front of Brozar, chest puffed out in an attempt to make himself look as big as possible.

"And I'm Triss!" The redhead stuck out a hand to shake, a bright smile on his face. "I'm going to be joining Athena's Familia too! Nice to meet you, bro!"

The Hunter's Club

Ill express interest. Fast paced RPs are always nice to get into, doubly so when it has such pleasant Kamigakari vibes.

Albrecht jumped at the creature that popped out of the strange object. His own family never had the privilege of owning a timekeeping device, and the youth was mesmerized by the intricacies of the clockwork.

Then he realized it was midday, and they were barely halfway done with cleaning up the place.

"Aw shit, here we go again," Albrecht grimaced, remembering all the times his procrastination had cost him before. It was definitely time to try harder now. No stops, no breaks, just hella hard work. Wielding his damp cloth like a mythic blade of eldritch power, he scrubbed away with renewed vigor, singularly dedicated to this grim task.

One hour later, the shop was as clean as it'd ever be, and Albrecht wiped his brow, sweating but satisfied. Nothing like honest labour to do one's heart good, after all. Squeezing black water out of the cloth, he wiped his dirtied hands on his trousers, before turning to Janine. "Gonna bounce and check out the carnival now. Just, like, ask for me at the Cockatrice's Crow tomorrow morning if you're ready to go, yeah?

He spared only a couple seconds before bounding out of the store, eager to see all the wild, eccentric things that folk in Marian's Grove never did.

Alright. If Albrecht worked extra hard and industriously, how long do you wager it'd take before they finish cleaning up entirely? He's not gonna leave a job unfinished.

To confirm, how much of the house has be cleaned up at this point?

"And advertise your inventions while you're at it?" Albrecht grinned; Janine's enthusiasm was quite infectious. "Well, if you want a slightly more experienced adventurer to show you the ropes, I wouldn't mind sticking around in Kylliam for a while longer n all till you've tied up loose ends." Was he really doing it? Of course he was. The warrior winked jokingly. "Be good to have some companionship on the lonely roads anywho."

"Improve life?" Albrecht paused for a moment, wondering how exactly that would happen. "Like, some magic item that waters crops for you?" There was another pause. He was really feeling the limits of his own imagination here. "Or like, a scarecrow that moves?"

He began lifting weird trinkets and objects up to scrub at the shelves underneath, turning only briefly to address the gnome again. "Dunno, actually. Just sorta felt like it after a while? Least, I became less interested in inheriting my old man's forge."

Albrecht shrugged. "What 'bout your family? They Kylliam folk?"

Most of Janine's terminology flew right over Albrecht's head. Chemicals? Alchemist's Fire? Despite some of the training he received from that dwarf, most of it was related to more practical aspects of adventuring: how to set up a tent at night, how to pack properly, how to fight. As far as he could understand, the sprightly gnome had been playing with fire and gotten metaphorically and literally burned...and that she did this regularly?

Smart people were weird, that was for sure.

As Albrecht looked around for a cloth and bucket to start the cleaning with, he asked, "So you're making...weapons and stuff here? What for? Doesn't look like Kylliam's the sorta place to get raided all that often." Pausing by one of the shelves, he picked up a particularly weird little gadget, inspecting it. "Looks pretty expensive too."
