Bio
I'm an adult (most of the time) so I enjoy mature content and good stories. Most of the time you'll find me in some Sci Fi thing or another but I do sometimes end up in fantasy roleplays and ,in very rare occasions, slice of life stuff. I've dabbled in other sections of the GUild over the years but Casual Sci Fi seems to be my comfort zone. I'm probably the least intimidating person you'll ever meet and I'm always open to suggestions. I look forward to making some great stories with you all!

Don't worry guys I won't post about Spark using the ladies room :P
The guard ignored her question as he probably had no idea anyway. Spark leaned back in her chair enough that the two front legs were off the ground and she put her hands behind her head. She spoke to no one in particular. "I've run small teams before, three and four man teams. We used to rob banks out of China town into Brooklyn and Queens. Always got home safe, well, except for Finn. Dumbass got arrested tryin' to go solo. Never did get charged for that, 'course they only needed the damn murder charges to give me the fuckin' chair." Spark sat upright in her chair again. "Not that it means a damn thing. None o' you pansies would vote for me anyway." She got up and walked to restroom on the far side of the dining area and shut the door behind her.
Spark made quick work of her meal, not wasting any time. Having lived in chinatown for so long she was accustomed to using chopsticks so it felt a bit odd to be using a fork again. She held the plate up to her face and scarfed it down. She washed it all down with water, downing the entire glass in a few gulps. She leaned back in her chair and casually lit up a smoke. She spoke to the guard left in charge. "So what's the damn plan for today anyway? Besides the leader election thing."
Lucio is so cool...
The fighting was intense but most of the others were handling themselves well. Emilia was about to advance when Hansel suddenly bucked. A more experienced rider might have been able to stay in control but Hansel was a workhorse unaccustomed to battle. She was thrown clear off landing hard in the snow. She threw up a barrier around herself instinctively as she heard Hansel running off somewhere. Unfortunately she was now in the open and a few arrows were striking her barrier.
She made a break for cover and found herself next to the bard, Lucio. She could see that he had been hit by an arrow, although most of the shaft had broken off. A few steps away were some dead warriors, apparently the bard was more adept at combat than she had originally assumed. "Two of them by yourself? Not bad. Let me take care of that arrow, it won't take a moment."

Spark had enjoyed her little punishment from Vlad the other night, although she'd never let the old man know that she actually liked the pain. If he knew that he might do something less pleasant to punish her then. Most of the lashes she had received were superficial and only a few left some new scars to go along with her mosaic of old wounds. She decided not to mention her annoying visitor to the old man that night.
The next morning a guard was at her room to retrieve her. It was Jensen, the guard that was sweet on her. He ordered her to get dressed, although he neglected to leave the room while she found some clothes, and she put on some track pants with a tank top. They walked and talked. Jensen did the usual amount of staring while he escorted her. Eventually she made it to the dining room where a few others were already waiting. She didn't really care what any of the others had to say so she just sat down in a chair close to Vlad and waited for orders. There was no sense in small talk and it was immediately apparent that there would be no breakfast. Spark sat in her chair, arms crossed, just waiting.

Most of the others collected their vials easily enough although the Ice Queen, as she had heard Aldred call her, seemed very suspicious of it for some reason. Emilia was used to having stubborn patients and people who were distrustful of medicine and magic. Two of the others decided to introduce themselves, the first was an elf who called herself Nyx. She was rather cute but didn't seem very confident in herself when she said she was a mage, perhaps she was still in the early stages of her studies. The second said her name was Bregil, from the look of her she was probably a half-elf although more interesting than that was that she was also a healer. It was good to know that there would be someone else she could talk to while they traveled that wouldn't be completely lost by the time she got past the first sentence. Bregil looked a bit rugged, as if she had spent a lot of time in the wilderness, and she was clearly an archer as well. Emilia never actually learned to use a weapon as she always relied on her magic to defend herself.
"It's good to meet you Nyx, and you as well Bregil. It's good to have another Healer along for the journey. Maybe later we can compare notes?"
Emilia decided to take Hansel, her brother's horse, with her as they probably wouldn't be heading back to Esterfell any time soon. The air up high in the mountains was freezing and the wind didn't make it any better. She was quite well adjusted to the cold already, having lived in Esterfell until her twenties, but the Frigore Resistentia was a smart move none the less. She was sure that the elves and half-elves in the party would be grateful for the potion since they had less to hold the heat in.
Emilia read over her journal as they made their way up, eventually coming up on some ruins. She remembered being told a fairy tale about an ancient Elven king who lived in these ruins and despised naughty children, in the story he would descend from the mountain when you were being bad and punish you. She was smart enough to know that it was only a story made up to scare children into obedience but she couldn't help imagining the phantom of some old Elf king brooding in solitude deep inside the ruins. She put her journal back in her satchel as Aldred commented on the ruins.
Before she could tell what was going on Aldred had jumped behind a rock and arrows were flying past her with alarming accuracy. She threw up a barrier to shield herself, and any others close enough to be behind it, to stop incoming arrows. They were raining down from somewhere she couldn't see and the only thing she could do was make for cover. Hansel was spooked from all the commotion and almost threw Emilia off of him as she wrangled him out of harms way. Her and Hansel were big targets for an archer and whoever were firing the arrows at them were good shots.

Emilia let everyone have their rooms for free that night. They had paid enough by stopping the giants. She would however, charge for the drinks that the pirate had helped himself to. One bottle she might have overlooked but that man drank himself to sleep and went right back to drinking after he had woken up. Men had arrived to make repairs and guards had been posted to deal with any further disturbances. She was assured that the Spotless Rock Inn would be spotless again in a week. As she was to be travelling with the Crimson Company, Emilia decided to leave Ansa in charge of the Spotless Rock Inn and named her the manager so that she could hire help as she saw fit. She was confident that Ansa could run the Inn.
Emilia had slept in Jon's old room that night. It was both comforting and depressing to be using his room. Her memories of him were all she had left now. She was determined to find out why the Giants had come down the mountains. She would follow Aldred and his company, at least until she had the answers she was looking for. As the sun rose the work men busied themselves installing beams and hammering nails. Many of the men were heading to work the mines, women were getting chores done, and children were off to the schoolhouse. With such a small town, she had gotten to know all of them when she was apprenticed to Thadius the Healer and all of them knew her. If not for the Crimson Company many of these people would not have seen the sun rise. They were truly a formidable force, even if they were only a handful of men and women.
Emilia made a point to visit her brother's body early that morning. Anyone not from Esterfell might find it odd that there was no cemetery but that was because bodies were cremated and the ashes preserved. Thadius, the local Healer, had given her a fresh batch of general medical supplies as well as eleven vials of a potion known as Frigore Resistentia, a blood thickener that would help them stave off the cold mountain air. Emilia decided to give them each a vial now since they would be leaving soon. She spoke to the entire group. "For everyone who doesn't know, my name is Emilia Alders. I'm a Healer by trade and I'll be joining the Crimson Company. I have a potion that should help us stand the cold a bit better. There's one for each of you, best to take it now so it will take effect by the time we start getting up the mountains." Emilia laid them out for everyone to collect before they headed out.

If you want Heat we can steer them towards a romance over the course of the story. She already respects him because he was a Vanguard and he's only a couple years older than her.
Speaking of shipping I just realized that I basically offered Emilia's hand in marriage to Aldred. "...I'll be with you until we're both old and grey..." at least Aldred is a handsome guy . :P
