Quartz

Quartz's coils tightened enough to cause the wheel axel creak in protest, the wood slightly splintered where he gripped as his belly scales dug into the sand. The spirit shifted and grunted deeper, his full strength put into the task. Inch by inch, it slowed its path towards the sea making him smirk inwardly. In the background the fish continued to plummet its head aha sit the smooth surface with each powerful thrust. Cracks spiderwebbed outward from its center where it spread and leaked, water dampening the dry sand into wet blotches underneath. At this rate, Quartz thought in alarm, the beast will be out of its cage in no time...

The soft patter of hooves echoed upon the beach. At the sound, Quartz's attention shifted and his head to jerk upward to spot Eowyn galloping in his direction. Her flaming hooves and sword sent the crowds scattering away like a charging rock parting the sea. In moments the centaur fused holder had arrived and was scooped up fistfuls of sand which she melted into the growing fissions. The glass naturally began hot. The animal seemed unfazed by the rising temperature, it's five tentacles suctioned to the glass and continued its battering... Until the tank shattered.

Glass shot across both Eowyn and Quartz, followed by water afterwards where it quickly was absorbed into the beach. In moments the specimen was flipping and flopping on the ground, it's mouth seeking for air it wouldn't find. The animal now beached, the winged serpent shook the wetness from his feathers before Remia had managed to join them. At Remia's comment, Quartz finally noticed the large, unmistakeable shape of the monster on the horizon.

"Well, that's interesting. That's about my max height..." Quartz began was interrupted when a song broke out across the scene.

Nathair

Nathair's arms shoved away the pressing bodies, his figure was tossed by the crowd's panicked rush away from the stage. When he had lost sight of Quartz several minutes back, the holder fought the slight worry in the back of his mind. His main focus was to get to Arlette and get away from the crowd. With each new push, he felt a soft growl rise within his throat as he bit back the urge to lash out at the aggressors.

He just about reached the young girl when a sweet, gentle sound reached his ears. Nathair came to an abrupt stop. His feet planted in the sand for a moment while the delicate melody filled his mind. It drowned out all sense and left him filled with a sense of curiosity and desire to seek out the source. Slowly he started to on heel to the sea. His eyes became unfocused when he began to walk, each step brought him closer to the water.

Quartz

What happened next was very odd to Quartz, namely because he had never seen it before. The sound tinkled throughout the scene and affected several activists, their panic suddenly stop, heads turned towards the water's edge and slowly began to walk to it. Something wasn't right. The spirit knew it right off by the way the people moved, feet sluggish in their movement, almost trancelike.

The feathers on Quartz's head rose in alarm when he spotted Nathair and Arlette sucked into the song's spell. His voice instantly shouted out to his holder. "Nathair! What are you doing?"

No answer.

"Something's not right... Nathair's not answering me." Quartz's anxiety was heard in his voice.

"Alright...might I suggest a new plan? I can deal with the big baddie, namely cause I can almost match him size for size and prevent him from getting to shore. At least delay him. Eowyn, maybe could you create a crude pond or something for our little fishy friend? I rather not have it die on us while we deal with the bigger one. That would leave Remia." He turned to Remia. "Might want to have Mime help you to keep everyone, especially Arlette and Nathair, away from the water."

He had already became the size of a small pony, his skin still continued to flake off in layers at a time, as he added in his wake towards the water edge. "Oh... Also, be careful. Nathair could likely bite when he's startled. Old habits die hard, I'm afraid, so try not to take it personally."

Once he hit the shore line, Quartz would've grown to the size of a large elephant at that point and still getting bigger with each discarded skin. Careful not to smash anyone, he braced to meet the beast head on as it made its way close to shore. It was unlikely it would go onto the beach, much to Quartz distaste, which meant he would lose his advantage on land. At least he could use the air instead. His fangs gathered the whipping air of his Aztec Winds inside his mouth and readied to slice the beast the moment it was close enough to his position, a rough guess due to where the trance induced holders and activists were heading. He only hoped he would be large enough by the time the beast came.

Hey, could you check your PMs?

Im working on it Crossark, I'm not able to be as active as I use to. No easy net access anymore and trying to stay as active as possible, sucks really. I'll likely deal with the pm tomorrow or the day after depending on when I can get to the library.

Stargate - Alliances

I'm still around!!! Might be more active this week so I'll likely have a Deyika post up after our interaction (aka later this week) now that I've got the info, giving me plenty of time to research a bit more on what Sep have me for Deyika's fleet. Sep and Echo, if I'm holding up the story then feel free to puppet my characters along if needed to progress but I should be on more often this week then last. Unforeseen complications have farther pushed me getting net back... -_- *sigh*

Echo, You're up in the collab.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Khan

Khan's body ached.

From the tip of his wings to his tail, his whole body felt a shimmering flame of pain nestled deeply within as he exhaled. Slowly he shifted his elbows beside himself and propped himself upright, his head twisted to surveyed the damage. His eyes saddened by the sight which greeted him. Students, staff and more were stretched out all over the place with white robed healers navigating the maze. In the care taker's hands were often an assortment of medical supplies, bandages and salves, or cart pulled in their wake. The wooden wheels click-clacked while it held the current meal of bread and broth, both filling the room with their delicious scents.

Khan settled back into the soft give of his pillows. Curiously, his eyes lowered to examine himself. The odd color eyes took in the white glimpse of bandages wrapped about his chest, freshly changed, and his hands. Gently he lifted his runes one closer to his face as he narrowed his focus upon the mended scarring left behind, bumping through the thin linen wrap.

"Nice to see you awake." A cheerful and familiar voice broke out behind Khan, the large Esyire narrowly avoided jumping out of his scales. His wing however visibly tensed when Sam came walking from the corner of his eye and stood facing him.

"I've been worse..." Khan answered, his throat seemed to crackle from the parched sensation.

"Any worse and we would've lost you." Sam said, his hands occupied by a silver tray.

The spicy and warm aromas had wafted from the large bowl, pale yellow with floating bits of vegetables and chicken chunks, seemed to draw his attention. He couldn't stop the slight silva rush within his mouth when the smells hit his nostrils in greater strength. To display his hidden urges, his middle made a low, needy rumble. A sound that tugged at Khan's awareness as he fought the sheepish grin to crept upon his muzzle. Sam merely let out a cheerful laugh, his hands reached to set the tray into the Headmaster's lap and pulled back to his position. His shoulders relaxed at seeing Khan's health improved but in a moment, uncertainty flickered across his face. Khan's focus narrowed on the brief expression. His eyebrow arched in question yet he knew, deep inside, what mentally Sam had been thinking about. He was debating if he should summon Lucillia shortly.

Khan mentally sighed after he had read Sam so well. "She's got enough on her plate, Sam. Let me eat and I'll see her myself, I've been laid up long enough."

Sam nodded and retreated to deal with other patients.

Mar & Lyn

Lyn's light and mirthful giggles appeared to erupt throughout her chubby frame, centered at her belly. Each time Mar's fingers skimmed the soft, new flesh as the infant's limbs pulled in and popped outwards again. Her small cheeks pulled up into a grin letting out another round of melodious sounds. Clear juices dripped down the baby's chin as she chewed her food. Her enjoyment was highlighted by the sunlight, rays peeking from the wintery scene outside, reflecting back through the windows.

Gently Mar took a dried cloth then wiped away the evidence. Her eyes caught the flash of white and paused for a moment, absorbing the source. Gauze covered her hands and arms, the bandage hid away every inch of acid eaten skin with it's winding path heading from her fingers to shoulder and even around her torso. It looked like she was wearing a tunic comprised of wrappings.

Mostly it was to prevent farther infection. Several layers of her skin had been lost in the clash with the glob-like demon, each contact left burnt away blotches and new scars would appear in time. Time... The word danced within her head for a bit until it faded, something she knew she had plenty of. The reality left her slightly bitter.

Her sober mood was broken when her fingers were pressed together, the strong feeling of something wrapped about her fingers and settled there. Mar's head tilted downwards to see a sight to warm her heart: clasped within Lyn's tiny fist were her very own fingers. With the other hand, Lyn held her toes and foot curled up tightly against her tummy in wait. Mar let the tension ebbed away.

She knew the comfort a simple gesture had and as her daughter sat there, entertaining herself, it occurred her that time was all she really had left. Her hand caressed Lyn's cheek side surprisingly gently for one whose instinct was to kill and maim. A mental note passed within her mind, one to make a new weapon, before she cradled Lyn within her arms.

It was clear she was tired of being cooped up with the medical bay. Her coils tightly wrung themselves beneath her as she patted Lyn's back, like Althalus showed her, in a soft, circular manner. Her daughter seemed comforted by the sensation.

Slowly catching up on things folks and will have a post for both Mar and Khan, unless we've skipped a day already, up shortly.

Congrats, Kest!! :)I will likely be in Asia around September/October as well, but we'll see exactly how it goes. I do not plan on visiting China, though...(I'll try to post soon!)

Ironic, seems Kestrel's trip has triggered about a few more. We went from a large group to about four...maybe.

You're not alone...I don't travel really. XD

Star Wars: Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

Yeah...it felt more then a little limiting when I was playing Navi as his main purpose was to help break the Jedi out in the end. I liked that it wasn't easy but I didn't expect it to be an outright fortress on the inside plumbing. I thought more or less it was modified to contained Jedi for the trip which in my mind meant it still had flaws from the original design even if they were hard to get to. Meh, maybe I made it hard made it harder then necessary.

As for the character limit, I wouldn't toss it completely out the door. I suggest taking the middle ground instead and making it two main PCs with x amount slots open for NPCs. It might allow the players to create characters to interact and be killed off when they leave, vanish, etc. Too many pcs can clutter things fast and make it hard to keep track of the characters.

The time line, I agree it went too slow at times but there was a time or two I thought it skipped over too many days. The time line itself might've not been the problem but rather what happened during that timeline. There wasn't much other then torture, not that many Sith compared to Jedi, and none of the Jedi PCs really made progress towards escape or tried to intervene when one of their own was taken. Mine included which I aim to change for the reboot.

Not to mention with some scenes, like when Allanar was retrieved for Nyiss, it happened rather fast to me. I think Xid could've possibly tried to stop it if given a chance but instead he was already written out of the room before Xid could. I might make some altercations to Xid's personality, making him a little more inquisitive and curious, at least with machines. I still aim on keeping the incident with Ithor as it was fun to write and actually hope to explore that storyline one day farther.

Anyway, I have a few ideas if we're going with the reboot. Namely with Jayda when it comes to keeping her in the Plotline and interacting with others, though I'm not sure how well it will work as I'll need to talk to both GMs about it fully before I decide officially. On the subject of Jayda, Echo, I'll likely send you a pm about Hymo then in regards to the reboot. I would still like him to return for the reboot due to the slight Plotline I have in mind but after your mention about having only a limited number under your control, I might have Eli or myself take the format you've made of him and play it if you're no longer interested in playing him when the reboot happens. I might also recalculate the age math in my CS a bit, spacing Jayda's youth as a Padawan out and go into more detail too before then.

Sepppp

People always find it so hard to get my name right. I'm not Seb, or Sev. I art Sep.

At least no one is calling you Seppie! :p

Sep said
I know, I've met Seb on the Guild and have met people called Sev before :PAlso currently am looking for a full term leader for the ground strike team. So if you know anyone interested in the roleplay the spot is open. Otherwise I will have to chose from either Kay or Cody.

I also know someone we called Sev.

I wouldn't mine having Kay as the full term leader, god knows she fits the qualifications for it, if no one else is interested. My only concern is the fact is if by then I can be on frequently enough because if I'm not, then I will extremely slow it down and I don't want people waiting on me all the time. I'm hoping to fix this problem by next week or the week after depending on if the company can hook me up or something more doesn't interfere with that goal. It's bad enough my hours got cut due to black out which lasted about 24 hours.

Also, Sep you might want to PM me about what I might need to do with Deyika and the fact she's got a few ships to control, including details about them, how many and ect. Please?
