*Drops some notes on the floor by 'accident'* "Oops! Where did that came from?"

The War of the Three

@Lonewolf685

Sure, so I'll post as Diana as soon as @Awesomoman64 Omega replies to her. Regardless of that, I'll post as Iona tomorrow, very much likely.

Ashes over the Rivianne Solaire [On Hiatus]

Such a lack of activity (or at least some notification) is indeed worrisome. I really hope we don't have to consider placing this RP on hiatus before even beginning.

@Skepic

You are free to post now. Consider that your character arrived along with the Princess' escort.

@Crimmy

I didn't do the time skip yet on this last post, so you are free to do whatever is it that you were thinking before. I'll move us to the evening at the village maybe this weekend.

War Notes

That reminds me. Are we missing any specializations so to speak or lacking in some department?

@Bushman501

I think that ranged attack power is probably the thing that this group lacks the most after a few drops, but I still say that we are kind of balanced at the time. So, you can do whatever is it that you feel like doing.

ORELLO

---

The brawl at the mess hall would come to an unexpectedly abrupt end as soon as the second wave of Cadets, along with Anton pretty much threw a bucket of cold water on the unruly soldiers' spirits. That and the quite bad injury Leblanc inflicted on one of them were enough to cause those who were looking for a way to waste excess stress to cool down.

"Well, look at that! It seems like you are getting used to the life in a frontier fort way far than I thought. That's really a journey full of firsts for you, right, Cadets?" Those words, said in a laid back, yet firm voice couldn't have come from anyone's mouth other than the Captain, who walked into the last moments of the fight, only to cause the rest of the soldiers to scatter around once a commissioned officer arrived at the scene. Interestingly enough, the uniform worn by the Captain matched that of Viola, except for the insignia denoting a far higher rank, of course. "By the way, one of you guys go gather everyone. I have a surprise for you— Actually, you may want to put your shirt back on for this one, Tzi," she said, after taking a look at Tzi's usual state of undress.

As soon as the Captain was done with her comments, she was surprised by none other than Viola, who almost pounced at the Captain, with a bright smile stamped on her face. "Oh, Sis, you are really here, like you said you would be," the excited girl said.

The look of surprise was quite evident on the Captain's face as she stepped forward and placed a hand over Viola's head, fixing part of the younger soldier's hair. "So, you arrived already, Viola? I thought for sure that you would not come here before me," the Captain said. She halted her speech when she noticed that mark on Viola's face and asked, "What's this on your face? Don't say to me that you—"

"My squad was attacked by bears in the mountain," Viola said, quickly interrupting the Captain's question, almost as if she didn't want to let her finish it, probably because she didn't want to tell the Captain about the warm reception she got earlier this morning.

"Bears!?" the Captain asked, astonished.

Nevertheless, they wouldn't have the chance to finish their talk since the bells of the fort began to toll right away, announcing that the convoy escorting the officer scheduled for the review had just arrived at Fort Orello. However, none of the men stationed at the distant garrison could expect to see who was it that left the main carriage and planted her greaves at the muddy, packed earth courtyard of Orello. No one but the Empire's Crown Princess, Ires, in flesh, bone and draconic armor.

"The installations are certainly bellow the average, especially for a fortification that spent fifteen percent above the planned budget on the previous year. This definitely doesn't leave a good first impression," the stern looking girl said to the fort's commander, who rushed to the gates, in order to meet her unexpectedly early arrival.

"I'm most sorry for the state of the fort, Your Highness. We were expecting your arrival for tomorrow, this wasn't supposed to—" the Commander said, trying to make up for the bad first impression as well as he could. Suddenly, a malicious gleam shone on his smile as he said, "Yes, indeed, everything was in order, until we received those Cadets from Cadenza and the Aquarians—"

"Your excuses are of no concern of mine, Commander," the Princess said harshly, interrupting the Commander's grovelling. "It's your responsibility to keep your own garrison in perfect order at all times. Yet," the Princess said as she walked past the Commander, reaching the aftermath of the mess brawl, "I see that you are having trouble keeping even your men on the line."

The Princess turned her gaze toward the standing Cadets as as well as the Captain, Anton and Viola, prompting the last three to drop their conversation and salute her with posthaste.

Interestingly enough, the next words to come out of the Princess' lips were kind of unexpected, at least for Viola. However, the Captain was quite aware of what to expect from one of her former pupils, as the was made evident by the slight smile on her face. "Commander," she said, addressing the Commander once more, "given that you need to fix this mess for tomorrow's review, but just as you say, the Cadets and the Aquarians are in the way. I declare that they are to take a night's leave at Orello Village. All expenses shall be covered by the Imperial Court, under my name. Meanwhile, your men are to work at double pace, if this fort isn't ready to be review by dawn's first light, cutting your budget by half will be the least of your worries," the Princess declared, smiling back to the Captain before leaving to the interior of the fort with the Commander in toll.

War Notes

Don't worry, I won't skip us too forward, I just want to get @Skepic's character in the story as well as a good excuse for @Bushman501's character to get in as well as soon as he/she's ready.

War Notes

I'm writing the post with the time skip now, people. Probably, it shall be ready in more or less an hour.

The War of the Three

@KoL I will be genuinely astonished if, after Miyu uses her power, it doesn't fail/get dispelled/be overridden by higher tier power/excetera. Because that has literally never not happened.

@The 42nd Gecko

As long as she doesn't try to counter things that are out of her league that has no reason to happen.

The War of the Three

@KoL

Wait so in a sense of losing themselves I'm a little confused. Are we saying they revert to a primal state, they become their polar opposite, or they get lost in their own mind trying to figure out what they really stand for?

@Mega Birb

Such a thing is supposed to change based on each character. Diana for example, will face her ancient memories and her inner self, just take a look at @thewizardguy's post for a good example of what we meant to happen to those inside of the dungeon.

@Awesomoman64@Lucius Cypher And if you get Miyu on the team too.. "Now EVERYBODY is immune to mental attacks!"

@The 42nd Gecko

Such a shame that she has decided that she's utterly useless, right? What a real, real shame.
