The Aesteria Chronicles

You said might, keyword Ignis. Doesn’t mean you’re always right after all. Helen pointed out. She had been intent on making it to the back exit. Her hand gloved each child’s, though she felt the boy possibly struggle a bit, while she lead them. However her path was denied when someone took a rough grip about her arm and jerked around the bar end. It took a few moments to realize who had pulled her about when the very man who had tried to rudely interrupt Alan and his friend, now huddled down with her and the children behind the bar. Helen gave him a scowling frown, even if he made a good point, and bit her tongue. The fight however went on, unable to influence the outcome as she listened to the fight. Sounds of ice shattering, shots, shouts, and dying started to remind her of the conflicts when she was a medic in the army. It made her skin crawl to think about it as she watched Kuro draw a black powder grenade forth and set it in front of her. Her eyes widened in discomfort as she recognized the make, model and pure destruction of the thing he set before her. “Fine,” She said then reached for it, her eyes on the boy should he consider pulling another rifle stunt. The other man crab walked back to the other end of the bar and possibly back into the fight. Something she rather not to do as she huddle the children close, her hand ensuring the grenade didn’t go off, while eyeing the door. So worried and focused, she barely noticed her husband slip up beside until she nearly jumped from her skin. Her body jerked and eyes jerked to spot his familiar dark eyes shooting Kuro a venomous look. His question came too late when she realized the pin device had started out, dangling half way out in her reaction. Adonais hands shot out to cover her own, deftly slipping the pin back into the mechanism. He took the destructive device from her hand, cradling it gently and spoke. “Its alright. Its just me. We’ll get out of this.” Normally he might’ve modified the weapon on the spot, but for the moment he just held it, ready to use should the situation get worse. “I think that answers your question, Luv…” Helen said softly, more to herself then her husband. The violence seemed to have died down when the summoner and his spirit had been defeated. She felt Nahor, Sira and even Ignis seemed pleased with the job while the man and his spirit crumbled under every surrounding gun. Slowly Nahor had trotted his way toward her, his heat wafted alongside the water creating steam over his outline. His nostrils snorted while the mist started to clear just a bit. Relaxing a bit, the doctor began to pull upright with the children in toll. She noted Alan making his way to his friend while he kicked the man off, his revolver pointed at the fellow’s face and in the attacker’s hesitation received a shot. The sound echoed and Helen flinched in reaction. Thanks Alan, he didn’t really need that and you made more work for me. Thanks.. She chided the man in silence. “That was too easy-” Helen began before the barkeep popped his head up and spoke. It seemed a sign for more trouble when the front door swung open with a loud bang and in walked the very same man. Only difference was he wasn’t dead. His lips smirked while he spoke in an irritating, cheerful tone about his ‘demise’. His hand reached in for a pistol and withdrew it, most of everyone’s ammo been fired, with ease. Bang. Her head turned to the rear and again, Walkins walk in. With a steam repeater rifle. “Oh, sweet spirit alive!” Helen shouted as she and both children once more huddled behind the bar just when the rifle went off toward Alan and his friend. Her head jerked upward at the sound of ice materializing. The ice spirit loomed over her and stared down at the foursome, its arm growing long and pointed like icicle spears. Its arms raised then rushed forward with the intention on impaling her. Helen naturally thought of the children first. Her arms shoved them from harms and her body rose up, trying to edge away. She wasn’t fast enough. Ignis’ shouting roared in her head but her eyes only saw the points coming down at her. "Shit.."

I am going to wait for Helen to reply (and hopefully throw that grenade at Walkins 2.0. I want to see him gib.). For anyone in need of a killer post-mortem one-liner in exactly this situation: Some Inspiration.

@Terminal

I'm working on it, and likely she will. Just...the posts keep coming and won't let me! :P Edit: Add on- Come to think of it...she might not even know how to use it. O_o Machinery is different compared to grenade and I don't want to assume she does when it's not likely she would...

Feel free to puppet Khan to wherever Lucilia wants to take him, Lucius. Then if you want we can do a collab or something.

@Fallenreaper

I'll wait for another Alaira responds to Darius or to do whatever and perhaps something from Lyn if you have anything for her. Than in my next post I'll do another Caravan post and something for Lucilia.

@Lucius Cypher

Alright and see if I can come up with one thought really all she can do is huddle in the wagon.

Essence of the World: The New Age [CLOSED]

Alright, Celaira or Wind, one of you are up. Likely if this keeps up, Olivia's going to be stumbling over her words and will have some 'splaining to do.

Khan

“I asked far too much of you all as it is. How could I bear to ask more?” Khan’s question crawled forward against Tyrael’s words, his tone had a mingle of guilt and shame when he spoke. Khan felt himself give before he could stop it. His balance off center when the teacher chose then to move, his knee filled with crippling pain and his voice stuck in his throat. He knew when his knee slammed onto the floor, the cane reflexively dropped by his hand’s twitches which caused his fingers to splay and the cane to fall from his grasp. They had happened once or twice in his life since Rathel. However since that feast several months ago, it had been occurring more frequently than usual. Originally he brushed it off as a side-effect of stress. However some small part of him worried that it wasn’t. That it was something irreversible and this worry had caused him to postponed any meeting with Ovak to put them at rest. Maybe the Leper was wrong. Khan gave an involuntary shudder at the possibility as he heard her scolding, her arms to wrap about and aid his standing. Naturally he leaned heavily against her. Both for comfort and help, his body wobbly like a newborn calf. He nodded at Tyrael’s comment but was more focus on staying upright then arguing with either of them. “I’ll be fine as soon as I sit down, Lucilia.” Khan said in his gentle tone. “Just not been sleeping well lately is all and over-exerted myself.”

An ice storm knocked out my internet at home. I don't know when it will be on again.

@EliteCommander

Oh dear Elite, well thanks for letting us know. I hope your net gets back on soon and good luck.

The Aesteria Chronicles

Well, all the exits are being covered. Either Walkins can teleport, has a hard-to-avoid-area-attack, or has a way of coming back from the dead. He still feeling groovy?

@Terminal

Well the main entrance isn't exactly covered. Ryza is currently on her back fending off a knife. The inquisitor could very well just waltz on out. And it hasn't been clarified if Walkins is alone with his thugs. There's no telling if there's more waiting outside, he might even have back up.

@Whoami

That's a bit why Helen's got Sira out, guys. Remember he can flash selected targets and not blind Helen, children or anyone not hurting them. >_>

Hey everyone its me

@Luna

Hello.

@Fallenreaper

Sorry for the absense I was suffering from depression and stress so I was unable to handle coming back on

@Luna

As I said before, when you feel better and able then hop back in. I won't rush or demand posts as I know RL, like what you mentioned, can take its toll and won't help by being pressured. However be sure you're fully able to and that it won't stress you out. RP shouldn't be the cause of stress or worse, your health after all.
