Current As someone else mentioned, the site seems to be in a bit of a lull - slow. I've been here more than 10 years and slow times like this are pretty far and few between.

Glancing to Sonya, she went ahead and signed the contract, which didn't seem all that involved outside of splitting up rewards for the most people - and of course to follow Silas' command or else risk being expelled, which seemed normal. Before she knew it though, they were packing up and heading out - it felt like a flash and the day went by quickly.

About midday, she was quickly told to follow Silas, quickly telling her that she was going to be the lieutenant - to which she had little time to truly absorbed. Still, she listened to Commander Rexar and Silas converse and everything went smoothly before the commander right out hired the group. Though Odessa cared very little that Silas was once a slave, she was glad the commander would keep it a secret, if anything for the man's sake. As the days went by, she got more used to being a lieutenant, though the days were filled with study, learning, and practice scenarios with Silas. He was fairly serious about teaching her and she picked up the basics decently, though didn't have the chance to really catch Sonya sadly. In fact, she was a bit surprised that the mage hadn't been promoted, but Odessa could only guess Silas and Dixon saw something in her - something Ashley saw in her before.

The day finally came though and the company was told of the plan and given time to prepare. Odessa spent most of it next to Silas as he gave a few more, basic, tips and let her get ready. Though she didn't have much to do, which was the advantage of her fighting style - no need for armor or weapons, making her an ideal warrior for stealth, which she spent the last hour practicing.

Before she knew it, they were at the cave's mouth. Silas explained for the last time what they were focusing on, sneak in unnoticed and raise the gate, then probably defend the lever or wheel that controlled the gate so the main army could charge in. She glanced to Sonya with a soft smile, hoping their time apart didn't put strain on anything, but quickly followed after the man. Quickly behind was the dancer and then the knight.

She paused as the Dancer started exclaiming her lack of stealth, to which the knight tried to hush her. She pulled back a little and tapped the dancer's shoulder and put a finger to her lips. "Quiet.. limit your movements.. stay to the shadows - time for dances will come later. They'll never know we're here." She tried to be as forward and serious while still accounting for the woman's emotions, since she was likely nervous. Taking a quick moment to make sure Aimée understood, she nodded encouragingly and quickly caught up with Silas, following his lead into the depths of the keep.

".. well met.." Elise said hesitantly, but as ever, Fionn kept along as if everything was fine. She swore that Fionn and Scarlett were two of a kind sometimes as she watched Scarlett wander over to the shelves and peer over the bottles. Of course, one could hardly be surprised when visiting an oracle, but seriously? A pillar where some great evil existed? Sounded like they were headed into the beast's belly as it were. It made her even more glad that she had trained the girl, though she was just as much of a mystery as her captain was - switching from serious and almost acting completely innocent. Elise quieted wondered what it might be like to have lost your memory.

Scarlett had just waved earlier with a simple, "hi Grug!" She seemed to have little care in the world, poking lightly at the potions in cat-like curiosity. Eventually she spun on her heels and joined the group, flashing a soft smile to Fionn before looking back to Grug, seeming to also wait for an answer about the ruins north of the town.
@CollectorOfMyst - Probably not age and unless you've been bogging down your system with startup or backup programs, probably not the physical RAM either. Again, if you've installed and are running a bunch of programs in the background (or they have memory leaks due to poor programming), then that's probably it... if you aren't.. yeah, sounds like a virus. Chrome and Firefox do have memory leaks though, I believe (continuously uses more RAM the longer it's open and the more tabs open).
@Arthanus - I'm playing Magik Knight. =3 I just got Great Cannon.. it's like a mini turret, hehe. Also, story isn't as bad as everyone said... but I'm different than most people. I enjoy stories for the sake of what they are, not for what I think they should be.
@Arthanus - Doing okay. =3 In a couple slow role-plays, but also joined Expanding Horizons! So much fun. =D Also doing really good on my Final Fantasy phone game, lol. Then playing Dragon's Dogma as well. How are you?

Edit: Oh, wow! I didn't think this started back up! xD Well, give me a couple days and I can post, lol.
@Holy Grail - Okay, holding you to it. ^.-
@Dark Light can't answer all the questions, but I think we are waiting for stuff to happen in other threads before this one starts.
@Noodles - I don't know much about Celes... but I suppose she would be okay. I have to think of a way for her to form the bond... might just do it randomly, since the relic has been 'activated' now. So - yeah, that works. ^.^ So put her in approvals and just RP as if suddenly being given the link, wherever she is. Also, this is on the condition she'll become better later... xD

Scarlett had lead Shi back to the camp and introduced the sphinx to the others as they trickled back. Before long though, they were headed off, though Elise hadn't interrupted Nak & Fionn, deciding it best to wait 'til later to confront the man about her discoveries.
The Next Day...

As the group approached the city, Elise seemed a bit more quiet than usual, merely following Fionn's lead as he instructed the group. She had hinted at wanting to talk to the man privately at some point, but had not rushed him in the matter. So she simply kept her awareness about her. Scarlett also seemed quiet, though it seemed less purposeful and more out of not having anything to say. Though she gave thanks to Nak a couple times more for the wonderful toy bird, which she still carried in her pack with pride. As Fionn called her name in meeting the oracle, she didn't seem surprised, as Elise normally insisted on bringing her along. She quietly wondered if that'd change now though, seeing as she could somewhat hold her own now.
@Lmpkio - For what? To reply? I guess I can.. though I was curious about Silvan.. he had mentioned doing a time skip in Kindred chat (which you should join - just PM on Discord).
