First time making samosas from scratch; also making fried pakoras, fruit salad, and daal. I can't wait to try it all~

Maybe I'll play Cyberpunk 2077 some more. My brother maxed out my character a year and a half ago. Haven't seen him since. Miss him.

”Mr. Dawson, why don't you have a seat?” He said, gesturing to the brown leather chair he had his hand resting on.
The men behind Adel stepped forward. They each placed a firm hand around his upper arms, half-guiding, half-dragging Adel to the seat. If Adel struggled in any way, their plan would have been quickly subduing him with a blow to the cheek - but besides tensing up, the man didn’t fight.
They shoved Adel into the seat, twisting it so it faced the mirror. Vincent still had that smirk on his face as he picked up a bowl of shaving cream and an applicator brush on the counter.
Slowly, methodically, Vincent applied shaving cream to Adel's face while speaking.
”Now, my men tell me that you and your spies have decided to make it your home in White Pine. Not that I care too much about that.”
He set down the bowl, picking out a barber's blade instead. He opened it, the fresh gleam of a clean, sharp blade within.
“What I really care about, though, is who set you up to do this.”
The blade pressed against Adel's neck as Vincent leaned over, staring at the man through the mirror.
"A million times I have done this charade. The moment people figure it out, I get the boot." she thought.
"But don't you want to see the fear in their eyes when they see who you really are...? Don't you want dominion of this place, just like how you were unchallenged in Vaal Kastrix?" said the Voice.
Ciara scoffed, immediately thinking of Gulliver and Valen. "I'd love to wipe the smirk off their faces."
"It starts by building a rumor. A rumor of power. This could be the place to start."
She took a deep breath, narrowing her eyes resolutely at the Undermage. "Head Advisor, with all due respect, you have no right to ask me about my intentions. If you want answers..."
She stood from her seat, rising to her full height.
So I'd like to fast-forward to morning in the next few posts, if everyone is cool with that. I'd definitly like a post from Urukhai and Sync before that, though. (Unless Thema is sleeping like the grave throughout this entire ordeal, haha.) And then we can get this show on the road. ;)
Yahtzee's light illuminated their party, and Cora could see silver metal glinting in the air. Hah! I know what that is.
A sleepy grin rose on Cora's charred, burnt face. "Will and Gilfred Mason, united at last. Where the hell where you, man? We've been here for hours--" Her voice dropped a note. "Well, mourning everyone, really."
"At least they survived, This means that half of our original group has returned... Do you think anyone else survived?" Phil asked.
Cora gave the question a moment to sink in. Her gut feeling was usually never wrong, but not even it was giving her any hunches. Nothing. Her feelings were listless.
"No." She said finally. "No, I think this is it."
She glanced around Gilfred, moving to avoid the water splashes as Tsunami appeared. Outside the black world was silent, obscure. It wasn't the darkness she didn't trust, it was what could be hidden within it. All the more reason for them to leave as soon as they could in the morning.
"Well, what are we all doing standing around the entrance? Let's welcome our new family in like real people." She chuckled, moving back over to the fire pit. The flames were quiet, but some more logs and some expert fire-poking got the pit healthy and bright again. Cora sat facing the cave entrance, pulling her arms through the sleeves of her hoodie and zipping it up.
It occurred to her that Yahtzee wouldn't recognize these people. She beckoned him to come sit by her. "These two newcomers you see were part of the rescue party when Will and I were taken hostage. Gilfred is Metal, and the lovely lady he has with her, Thema, can control plant life. She's also a healer, from what I can recall."
Her gaze shifted. "I'm probably going back to bed in a couple minutes, but I want to hear how you two got out of the battle." Cora said, a hint of curiosity in her voice.
You can do whatever you want, although I can see you might be having technicalities with your posts at the moment. Don't worry about double posting, just label the second one with an 'ignore'. Mahz still hasn't added the delete button. :p
Holy shit, Xzayler. I had to take a double-glance when I saw your name pop up in my subscriptions. Hehe, I'm glad you could see this, no one else has come back yet. We had to induce a lot of character deaths, including Wolgran's. (I'll list 'em deadies: Shida, Aerilyn, Beau, Kimberly, and Wolgran, along with Nature's Haven. God, you've missed so much heartache. XD)
Now, I don't know if you plan of sticking around. I hope you do, I'd like to work with you on this, since it's your creative child and all. If you do, we have need of another elemental -- would you like to play with us? ;)
