Noble Arms is now either four years old, or three years and eleven months. The third thread had lasted for more than one year.

My Roleplay, Noble Arms: The ASEAN War, will reach its 4th year in June or July. It's been a long journey.

Despite its massive flaws, my RP, Noble Arms: The ASEAN War, is still one of the longest ongoing RPs in RPGuild - It turns 4 years old in July and the current thread itself is more than a year old.

@Eklispe, well, Morgana seems a bit judgemental.

I like it; reminds me of Nishka.
@Mystic Writer, I do have to ask your permission for something, though. Basically, is it all right if your character gets captured and 'mistreated' by Myst as well, or is that too wrong for you? If it is, we can just have him be killed?
@Mystic Writer, anyway...confession to make - the merc would have been a competent fighter anyway, with a lethal weapon. I don't think your PC would have stood a chance without plot armor, sorry.
@olcharlieboi, all work.

"Wait!" said the boy, "Maybe there's something I can do to...help."

The two kids felt suspicious of Alexander, disheartening the boy. He also had been explicitly told to leave. And so, considering the fact that the boy was already held in suspicion by everyone around him, he returned to his table to wallow in despair and self-loathing.

"I can't help anyone...I can only be a burden," he whispered to himself.

But part of him won't give up, part of him kept waiting for an opportunity to improve, an opportunity to make progress and show that there's more to him than a 'creepy pervert' and a 'wimp'. But when would that opportunity come, though? How can he make himself better?

Still despondent, Alexander looked around again, hoping to get some answers.

Myst Neumann

Hamaguchi didn't neutralize the sleeping drink with her healing magic, and so, once she opened the cellar door, the composition of the sleeping potion would have brought her close to collapse...as one of Myst's mercs opened the door, saying, with a nasty voice:

"Oh, what have we here?! Master's latest slave escaping? Perhaps I should bring her back, get a reward and maybe a share of these goods..."
@Letter Bee

I was notified so lol.


Anyway, I really like Charles; I hope he can contribute a lot!

New post is up in the IC!
Relevant point because the amount of people we have, there is a limit on the amount of tags in one post, I believe its somewhere around 10, though because I don't have enough friends I haven't experimented with it enough to know exactly.


Damnit. I wasn't informed of this.
Gavin looked at the throng of Magi that had come to his 'conference', and moved to address their questions.

"You are all right. I called you all because one, you all are like me, in possession of abilities that cannot be explained by Science, abilities that can only be called Magic." He then cupped his right hand and conjured up a small, silvery-white light; a cantrip.

"Don't worry about this display of power, I have...a friend keeping people from snooping," and indeed, Sparrow Freemark was keeping people from being too curious about the gathering of people in the Garfield Motel." Not that it was a barrier for the infiltrator already there, though, but Gavin allowed that.

"Anyway, you are curious about the winged beings who gave us our powers, right?" The boy was still standing.

"Well, it's a long story," Gavin activated another cantrip, creating a small screen of raw mana and distorted space, one that would show what the group needed to see, and that was a vision of Earth a few millenia ago, a pristine, beautiful wonderland dotted with shining cities of crystal spires and people in bright togas. "Basically, this universe is governed by a cycle, a cycle where Magic flows and ebbs, and sapient civilization with it. This was a law of the Universe, that Magic and Science should alternate with each other." Gavin then pursed his lips, before showing another vision, a vision of two cities, one in the middle of the Atlantic, with three walls of metal that did not rust, and a high tower-settlement in the middle of desert.

"But, the rulers of Atlantis and Babel did not want to make a seamless transition from Magic, which had allowed them to grow fat, and Science, which would oblige them to learn new things. And so, they attempted to alter the laws of the Universe itself, and draw power form the Combined Heavens - aka the heaven of every major religion that has existed and will exist. This was hubris, and they shot themselves in the foot." The screen then showed Atlantis setting itself on fire, and Babel falling down, and taking the magical civilizations of Earth, all the glittering cities, down with them.

"But this wasn't the end of Magic, no, it hung on until 1000 BC, or BCE for those who nitpick. But by then, the Tablets of Ararat were written, a magical relic made by the remnants of ancient civilizations that prohibited any use of magic temporarily, aka for a few centuries."

"Those centuries have now passed," Gavin continued, "but not the prohibition on magic in several major religions - I won't name names. The Tablets of Ararat, however, contain the authority of the Combined Heavens and the Divine, and it is not just a legal document, it is a legal document that can open a path or liason to God or The Gods and their servants, who, before this meeting, have told me in dreams that they are revising the laws of the Universe so that Magic won't just exist again, it will exist as long as this Universe stands. However, the Tablets of Ararat themselves are needed to make sure that the authority that can clairfy that the ban on the use of Magic no longer applies can speak clearly to Humanity."

"And before you ask why can't the Combined Heavens just speak directly to Humans...they already tried. I will not invoke religious controversy by saying specifics. Either way, the Tablets of Ararat won't just repeal the ban on magic, but it will create a source of 'objective' spiritual and philosophical truth. Aka, actual, tangible Good can now be perceived." Gavin trembled at that.

"And so, our job is to learn about our powers, as well as, if you are willing, help find the Tablets." He then paused, as if remembering something.

"Oh, and we really are going to be hunted for this. We are powerful, and we can teach others how to use this power. We can wreak a lot of damage if we really want to, or even if we don't want it. The US Government is already hunting for us, and their forces will appear in three days, whether to negotiate or capture is...something I don't know yet, but be prepared." Marcus would know that a force was being prepared just in case his mission goes awry, but he wasn't apprised of the exact details.

Will wait for more stuff relevant to Alexander and Myst before writing a new post - plus, I'm making a long thing for one of my own RPs.
