The War of the Three: Exodus

DIANA, THE CLAW OF HEAVENS

---

Diana hurried back to her room, after her brief interlude in the courtyard. The dragon girl had many preparations to do and little time at her disposal. The alluring fragrance of sweet confections filled the dragon girl's room for what felt like minutes of work for Diana, yet took a few hours to accomplish. Time flies when you are having fun, and Diana certainly was at this moment.

"Well, then I guess this is alright but... haven't I made a little too much?" Diana said to herself, rubbing away a stain on her cheek, as she stared at the fruits of her work, a sizeable pile of dragon chocolates, modeled just like her majestic wings. "Nah, you can never have too many sweets," she said, shrugging the matter of as she began to wrap them in thin gold foil and scarlet ribbons that would make sender of the treats even more evident if their shape and the fact that they were made with quite a high skill—which Diana inherited from a certain half of her parents, right along with the other's appetite.

As soon as Diana was done with wrapping and placing the chocolates into gift baskets, along with other carefully picked presents for each of the persons she meant to give them to, she stored the baskets in a magic bag and went out to distribute them. Knowing that she couldn't give all of the presents personally, Diana asked help of none other than Iona—everything going in or out of Celestia had to be inspected by the Archangel, after all— to help her send gifts to Bastion (along with the chocolates, Diana sent an apology letter, some celestial fruits, and a plushie doll based on Diana's dragon form), to Diana's parents and their Masters (along with two cakes and a letter telling about everything that happened in the past few months and how Diana was having fun), to a certain Golden Knight (along with a letter telling him that she was doing her best to look after 'that person' as well as challenging him to another duel) and finally, to Victoire (along with a glass of wine, roses, and a letter telling that, despite everything that happened, Diana actually hoped that they could become friends one day). Obviously, Diana had a present for Iona as well, it wasn't meant as any sort of bribery but because Iona was one of the few persons around Celestia that Diana was still acquainted with.

After she was done with the long range deliveries, Diana went out to deliver the ones she could do personally. Her first stop being a certain dark corner of Celestia that visited by few beings. Ever since her Asgardian outing along with Suparna, Diana felt that she should come here to at least say thanks to the Angel of Death for her work, but time never allowed her to.

Today was going to be different.

"Hmm, is there anyone home? I brought a gift for you. Can I... come in?", Diana asked as she used her tail to knocked on Marianne's door while her arms were occupied with a basket holding the chocolate, some flowers, a thank you letter, and incense.

EOS, SUPREME QUEEN OF THE MACHINA OF MANKIND

---

"..." Eos' initial response to Roma seemed to be completely robotic and emotionless, however, the Eel would be able to feel an arm bringing her close to the android's chest in a wordless display of affection.

A moment later, Eos let Roma go and took a step backward before pretty much pushing the doll she had in her arms at the Eel's face. "Is Bastion home as well? I'm just done dealing with a problem regarding some unruly individuals and thought about coming for a visit," she said in a monotone voice, taking a short break before asking, "Can I come in?"

Eos took a look over Roma's head, glancing at the basket resting on the couch—that certainly wasn't there when Roma came to answer the door. She was about to ask about it when no one but Henry came into them out of the blue. The white-haired android frowned, cursing inwardly, before she addressed his question. "I understand it if a being that never met us doesn't recognize this form. But, you should know better about Roma, Bastion, and myself, Avaritia. A high caliber warrior such as yourself should be able to recognize your Queen regardless of whatever body I decide to use, don't you think?"

"Unless your senses are getting dull because you are becoming too soft, just like a certain Eel that I know," Eos said, taking the opportunity to make a witty comment aimed at Roma, just like in the old times.

HOHENHEIM, THE ALCHEMIST OF GENESIS

---

"Ho~, smelling yourself, you say?" Hohenheim replied to Titanica as she finished doing her hair and began to fiddle with a makeup kit. "Perhaps, you would be interested in a new perfume? I know exactly the best one for you," the Alchemist grinned as she produced a crystal bottle from a drawer and sprinkled Titanica with its surprisingly sweet smelling contents. "That's a special mix I finished a couple days ago. I call it Cherry Love. You can even keep it if you like, I need someone to test the effects of longtime exposition, anyway," Hohenheim said, pushing the bottle on Titanica's hands before she took a lock of the other Vassal's hair and studied it with seemingly great curiosity.

"Now that I think about it. If you ever decided to work on your looks, you could come up to quite a nice position in the Vassals' beauty rank," Hohenheim said without a care in the world while she listened to the remainder of Titanica's spiel. After the lizard woman said all she had to, the Alchemist said, "Nah, I don't know anything about that. I mean, I know how you smell and all that, but that's not what you are asking, is it, dear Titanica?"

"Though, I can imagine a few reasons why you lost your trail in the Oblivion Dungeon. Before I get into any further conjectures, we will need to get a better look at the last place you remember that you felt this smell," Hohenheim said in an unusually considerate voice while she continued to fiddle with Titanica's hair, in fact going as far as braiding its tip. "There's just a caveat that you'll have to deal with on your own. Since that place is out of the Nexus, somewhere between everything and nothing, neither of our powers can make the trip. You'll have to either get a permit from that Workaholic Archangel or convince the Snake to get you there."

"What is it that you are going to choose, T.I.T.A.N.I.C.A.~?"

Hikari Academy

I just banned @13org before this situation gets even more out of proportion.

Anyone who wants to follow just needs to keep bringing this issue up.

P.S.: don't try me. I'm not kidding here.

Hikari Academy

@13org

You aren't getting any sympathy here, mate. I know this victim discourse very well and I really dislike it.

If you want to go, just go, please, don't make this into something it doesn't need to be.

Hikari Academy

@13org

You can't force the other characters to like her IC. It's the only thing that I have to say on this.

All the teachers have a dark element or two to their backstories so it's understandable that they would think of her as naive and alienated from reality. That's not something you have any say on, as much as no one else has any say on how you should play your character.

No on here forced you to change your way of playing Lilac (we made some questions and clarifications, not strong arming), you can't expect us to change our character's opinions to fit yours.

If you choose to go, peace. But know that you are the one making the uproar over a minor issue.

@TheWindel@KoL

Would it be terribly difficult of me to want to make a return to this RP or nah?

I know I pretty much left you guys in the lurch but I had some RL stuff to figure out and Rping kinda had to be put on the back-burner.

@Kalas

Returning isn't the problem. The fact that you disappeared without saying a word, however, is.

You can come back but if you leave us hanging again we probably aren't going to accept you a third time.

Just to make it clear, it's not that we require people to be married to this RP, but leaving without saying anything isn't fair to everyone else as well.

Reiterating, this time you are ok, if it happens again, I can't say for sure.

The War of the Three: Exodus

THE RAVINE

---

The threat imposed by one another wasn't the only thing that the Nexus' warriors would have to deal with while they entered the crevasse leading away from the arena. After crossing the narrow gap, they would arrive into a deep ravine where the sunlight was blocked almost completely by the steep, jagged walls.

If crossing a passage where the ones in front had almost complete leeway to decide what would happen with lagers wasn't bad enough in a normal situation, something worse happened not long after the first warriors set foot, wings, vines, etc. in those dark dwellings.

Gigantic scorpions, whose reddish carapaces blended almost perfectly with the muted, earthy tones of the ravine's walls began to drop from above and surface from the rocks below in search of prey. Whether the champions of the Nexus would decide to fight the man-sized predator or not was up to them.

For those who made it out of the mortal ravine alive, a much more interesting surprise awaited...

THE NIGHTLESS OASIS

---

As soon as any of the combatants left behind the great sandstone formation that was cut through by the ravine they would be faced with a sight only possible in the world as fractured and chaotic as the Nexus: The Nightless Oasis was bathed in a blanket of perpetual starlight very much like Ciel's Observatory. It had such a lush, and vivid wildlife that it was almost like stepping into the heart of a great jungle. Away from the forest, the nocturnal lights sparkled against the surface of the Oasis' main waterbody, a vast lake whose opposite margin was barely visible.

Beyond the lake, the orange glow of what must have been enormous pires, or similar source of light, outlined the ominous silhouette of the first of the two great pyramids as well as the four massive obelisks that guarded each of its sides.

A soft breeze blew by. The rustling of leaves made the nearly complete lack of any other sound in the Oasis, safe for some distant songbirds and bats' cries, all the more evident. However, that wasn't even what the warriors of the Nexus had to truly worry themselves with. No, the true danger was the very air whose soothing fragrance induced a feeling of wistful longing into anyone who indulged in it for too long. Such feeling would grow into a deep lethargy, and finally, sleep and paralysis if their stay was too prolonged.

To finish the deal, a tremendously-oversized hydra—or perhaps it was more correct to call it an embodiment of nature's wrath— rose from the waters, challenging the courage any who dared come through the Oasis, in search of some fresh meat and bones to gnaw on.

The question that lingered in the air like the fragrance of the Oasis' flowers was whether or not the Champions of the Triumvirate were ready for this that wasn't even the "main event" of this conflict?

KoL's Test Thread

"Tsc! And they still wonder why we don't like them," Chie muttered under her breath. She turned her back to the invaders as they left the club room. She didn't spare any more thoughts for them, not when there were more important issues to think about at the moment. Issues like how they were going to explain the broken and burned desk to the school's faculty.

"We will have to find another place to have our party," Chie said with a disappointed voice, just as Kanbaru finished her sentence. "The faculty will never allow us to use this room after this. Anyway, we can keep planning as we were and decide about that later," she added while looking at the damaged furniture. A moment later, Chie was back at her seat, making notes of the ideas for the Christmas party.

A little way away from the Detection Club's room, the two magical girls of light would find someone waiting for them in the hallway.

"Normally, I would do a self-introduction before talking with someone. However, before I do so, can I ask you to stop using magic within the school premises," The girl said to them, with her gaze fixed straight at Soma's half-transformed form, leaking magical power for the whole world to see. "Becoming part of Miso High's Seven Mysteries is the least of your worries if someone else comes across you right now," she added in a disarming, almost jesting, tone which nevertheless carried the weight of the fact that all magical girls should know better than let the general public know about the existence of magic, even by accident.

"Now that this is out of the way. Let's do things rights," the girl said, hoping that her previous words had the effect she wished before continuing her self-introduction, "I'm Tsukuyomi Luna. You can call me Luna if you wish. While it's an honor meeting you, can I ask what people who aren't actual students of this school are doing here doing the busiest time of the day? You should know better than to cause trouble to other people for your own personal reasons—even if they are enemies of Justice," Luna added, finishing her sentence with a serious, with amicable voice.

Hikari Academy

Now that the initial conflicts have been resolved, and a schedule is already completed, we will skip to the next IC morning this weekend. If someone has something they want to do during the night, say it already. Otherwise, we will keep the ball rolling.

The War of the Three: Exodus

@Dealdric

Now it seems to be way better. I can't see any problem immediately so he is ok on my end. Just wait t see if the others have anything else to add before moving your character to the CS tab.

The War of the Three: Exodus

@Dealdric

That's a better character, indeed but just like @Lonewolf685 said, you need a less obscure weakness, also add weakness to holy magic and powers.

Furthermore, add some space between those paragraphs. It gets considerably more readable when you do that, especially to read on mobile devices.
