Questions about orcs:

Connection seems important to them. I have it in my head that communal meals would be important. Sort of like... no matter what you're up to, you'd better be with someone for dinner. Friends, family, stop in a tavern... Eating alone would be... worrisome.

Also, I'd imagine with the whole warrior culture... Maybe those who are spiritual greet the morning with a short blessing. More or less 'Thank you for another sunrise. Blessings to those who have died and are missing it.' And then in the evening. "Thank you for another sunset. Blessings to those who have died and are missing it."

*shrug* Are those both ok? I love little cultural details like that. May I toss them in? I don't wanna overstep my bounds in your universe.
This died quick.

Maybe Ezio got to it!

Hahaha- *stabbed for dumbass joke*
Young Leonce followed him without hesitation. "Poison? Perhaps the lady ran into the Mantis." He paused, concentrating to carefully step around a thick web. He had the instinct not to disturb it, where perhaps an older knight would have just sliced right through. "Er... I'm sure her enemies don't know her as such, if at all. She is the most... unsettling woman I have ever met." His blue eyes darted around, looking for danger before continuing to speak. "I actually don't mind women fighting. My mother was, well... rather overpowering, so I know full well a woman can beat a man. But the Mantis... Alice, they call her... she has a shell of beauty, but her core is corrupt, like an apple full of mealworms." His phrasing was odd- it was clear that he knew something about fruit. "She is deadly smart, which is fine... but she takes such pleasure in seeing people suffer so." He shook his head, shivering despite the sticky warmth of the forest.

"To most knights, battle is a task. You kill because if you do not, someone else will kill you. When you do kill, you make it quick, pragmatic. At the end of a fight, I have seen knights cut the throats of enemy soldiers who struggle to die, and yet cannot be saved. Ending their suffering, so they can join the embrace of the sky. Alice... enjoys watching people in pain. It is... reprehensible." He rubbed himself slightly, then tried to brighten up. "Your lady must be strong, to survive it." He smiled a bit, revealing his youth. "Does she know?"
The young man smiled, his nearly white blonde hair glistening with sweat. "I am Leonce." He bowed on instinct, not really having a deep seeded disrespect for elves. "...I.. I know it may be a moot point, but I truly apologize for the attack. Some of them truly do hate what is different. Some of us just... well, when you're a squire, they drill into your head that you must follow orders. It is very hard to not do that. I must thank your people for not killing me..." He paused, his tanned cheeks taking on a hint of pink. "And bless the lovely woman with the fire-red hair for not sending me out into a dangerous forest smelling of fresh blood."

He looked ahead, to the depths of the forest. "If it is so terrifying, then why do we go? ...And why do you seem so hasty to get there? I would not want to rush to my death."
I'll see if I can't throw the link at the few people I know here who are sci fi fans.

You definitely have something here.

I have my character in mind. A small young woman. Orphaned daughter of a former soldier. Got taken care of by the Resistance when the Regime didn't do anything. Now she joins the Academy, using her father's name to allay their suspicions. She is a technical genius, using her innate mechanical talents to push her suit's capabilities in new and interesting directions.

But all the while that she excels, her mission is to bring the Regime to it's knees. Her father died, her mother wasn't taken care of... she's seen the folks who slip through the cracks. It's personal.

But then... she'd see the students of the Regime are just as human.

Conflict! Drama! ...romance? Maybe.
Is Jin giving off pheremones or something?

>_<;
The knight, who looked much younger and smaller than he had without his armor, following Korlash in confusion. The village elves had tossed him out with no armor and a dagger. And yet, this elf had just saved his life. "Er..." He traveled along, tripping over roots and smacking into branches. Obviously he had no clue about traversing a thick forest. "Why did you save me? Where are we going?" He paused, watching the elf walk with obvious hurry.

"And why are you so afraid? Are we running from something?"
Slow it down. Have Korlash be doing his usual, bum rushing into things without a lot of thought. Then have that fail him, hard. Make him panic, make him fear... and then make him plan.

Perhaps I'll have the anonymous knight wonder why Korlash is so panicked and desperate to get into the forest. Maybe he opens up about Jin, because this random stranger will probably die off anyway, so who is he going to tell?

...maybe the enemy begins to see each other as fellow creatures of spirit and life, not just faceless beings.

My only problem is I'm not sure what is happening with the Anthony/Kijani/Connor thing that is happening, really we need that to end before anything else begins... Caits, are you still PMing with Knight?


Haven't seen Knight in days. I hope he's okay... I tend to worry when people vanish like this. I mean, usually he at least gives a 'hey I'm alive and busy' message... But nothing's been said.
PMs work, Krimp. I'll be glad to work with you.

*goes to check out the map*
