@Arthanus - Yeah, well... =P

Adventures of the Blood Rose Irregulars

Odessa let out a sigh as she studied Stefano, glancing at the on-going battle between the chieftain and Silas - she was impressed as the others, but she had already been in battle with the man, so she was a bit more familiar with his level of skill, so her focus was elsewhere at the moment. Looking over to the side at the supposed knight that Stefano had mentioned, she pursed her lips in disappointment as the man yelled at the woman (though she couldn't make out the words) and marched over, ordering his own people to make preparations. 'For hell's sake..' she muttered mentally before her attention finally made it to Sonya as she explained the tactic once more.

Straightening her back, she quickly realized no one else was going to take command of the situation (in Sonya's case, incapable of it). "All right," she spoke pointedly. "Keep an eye on Silas just in case something goes wrong. That's your focus. Sonya, flood the fields between us and the orcs if that happens, but keep your total focus on helping Silas right now.. I'll round up the men and get them ready to move on at a moment's notice.. but we'll need that flood - since I'm unsure if the knight is willing to brave his lance for the people's defense.." She paused, shrugging to the pair. "Maybe he will, maybe he won't. Anyways, keep your focus and let me worry about the wounded." It felt a tad unusual, but Odessa fell right into giving commands, despite that she didn't feel like she should have to. To add to it, she trusted Sonya probably more than she should, but she had a keen feeling Sonya knew how to take care of herself in her absence - she only hoped that the masked woman wouldn't take this sudden turn of events as her breaking her promise.

Regardless of her feelings, she left Stefano and Sonya to their tasks while she quickly started to call able men to her side. Taking charge, she ordered them to start gathering all the wounded while still treating them as best as they were able - explaining that this might turn into a retreat. Stefano's observations seemed right on the money, as many of them started to respond to her as if she were in a leadership role, having seen her fight alongside Silas - the champion who was fighting for their survival.

@Arthanus - Sorry, keep getting busy so I can't reply daily or anything. However I'll attempt to reply tomorrow... after class. =3

@KaiserFranz - That was a pretty crazy post! I liked it! xD

@Arthanus - Too true! Too true, lol... the funny thing about it is that SimpleD compliments my posts all the time. I can't imagine why. They're a great addition to this role-play I think.

The Forgotten Goddess - [Invy, Lyla, ???]

The goddess drew in a soft breath as her hand was grasped, her eyes looking down once more as her gaze focused on their touching hands. Cecilia had heard such claims before and while she had no reason to disbelieve Kali, the declaration came with a flood of memories. It wasn't disloyalty that caused her followers to vanish, but instead the 'beast,' which she often blamed herself for in the first place. She grit her teeth for a moment, fighting internally with herself as one side wanted to push the mortal away in fear of hurting her, while the other side spoke of something highly unusual - a feeling of safety. Why was it that Kali's words comforted her so easily? They had never met. She didn't even remind her of Sarah and yet here she was, feeling that familiar comfort of physical touch, promising that everything would be okay.

Biting her lip then, she felt the softest of glows cross her cheeks and while she wanted to pull her hand back out of fear, she couldn't bring herself to do it. "Thank you.." she eventually said, daring to gently squeeze Kali's hand in return. ".. if we really do search for it though, we shall need you to be.." Cecilia paused, trying to search for the right words. "More prepared. Which means more practice with that bow.. in situations like the golem.. are you okay with that?" The goddess looked at Kali, curiously. "There may be many dangers ahead on this course.. assuming rumors are true.." Despite her best efforts, Cecilia still hadn't let go of the mortal's hand, but with a final push of will she finally did - letting her hand slip slowly from Kali's fingers.

@Arthanus - Yeah, it runs Minecraft with a texture pack, 60 FPS, and I can run crazy fast and notice minimum lag on loading new chunks. I even run a local server for three of us and still play at the same time. Right now I'm loading Skyrim with some graphic, sound, and role-playing mods. =3

Yeah, it's a GeForce GTX 1080, 16 GB RAM, 2 TB Hard Drive with a 256 SSD, and Intel i7-6700 (4.00 GHz). I also have 27" 1080 dual monitors. ^.^ This is the best computer I've ever had in my entire life. o.o'

@Blubaron45 - I think it's fine to do short posts, a couple paragraphs... it's better to do that than no post at all or waiting until you have an idea to post more, because then you delay the role-play. That's why some of mine are shorter than others. ^.^

@Arthanus - As for mine... I got my new computer!! Been playing Watch Dogs 2, Minecraft, and now modding Skyrim. It's a beast of a computer! It has the GeForce 1080 (forgive me if I don't type it correctly, I'm not computer expert - but it is the best graphics card at the moment) and a quad-core (?) Intel I7 processor. I think it comes with 16 GB of RAM and a 2 TB Hard Drive. It costs about $1800 or so.

Odessa nodded when given the command, but quickly looked to Sonya as she took charge, smiling slightly as she again nodded quietly. "Just tell me what you want me to do.." she replied before Sonya handed her a couple bottles. As the process was explained to her, she didn't seem phased, having heard magic being used in similar ways before and following after her companion. She decided to watch how it was done before she tried it herself, kneeling next to one of the wound and giving a gentle smile. "Just stay still.." she urged, pouring a thin amount of liquid over an injured woman's shoulder. Taking in a deep breath, she started to pour arcane energies into the solution until it seemed to burst to life - more so than Sonya's own magic. It almost seemed aggressive in a way, forcing the woman to wince, but at the same time the healing seemed to be going noticeably faster. ".. I guess it might sting a little, but will heal a bit faster," she explained, patting the soldier's back reassuringly.

Standing up, she looked over to the masked woman again, listening to her idea. Her eyes turned back to the crowd, causing her to purse her lips in thought. "I don't blame you.. I'll keep healing while you help him," she said with a nod, urging Sonya to do as she wished. Kneeling down again, she started to heal a third party when the bird came with it's message. Odessa quickly finished the application and unrolled the letter before slowly standing and glancing up to Sonya. "They want to make sure we have an escape plan and.. they're asking us to lead the men in retreat if things go sour.." She rolled the letter back up and looked to Sonya once more, mentally debating with herself - while she normally wasn't inclined to take charge, especially with someone she may have some interest in, she felt she needed to step forward if for just a moment.

"Sonya.. keep doing your thing, but let's wander over and see what we can figure out, hm?" She smiled, just enough to cause her companion to relax, before marching over to Stefano and Aimee. The crowd was sure in force by now as the orc chieften and Silas circled one another, the orcs snarling and cheering on their leader while the militia did what they could to recover, while a decent amount of them huddled around as well - all watching with baited breath. Finally making her way to the the pair riding the shoulders of the twins, "that's not a bad plan." She waved the letter in her hand. "Though.. knowing tribal culture, Silas will likely be seen as the Alpha and they'll back off.. besides that, we should think on how to rally everyone if things go into chaos - as unlikely as that is." Odessa quietly wondered if the two would even understand where she was coming from. Many times in the past, she had misunderstandings, as she often thought a lot of things and would forget to explain every detail.
