Dulga Tarata


Listening to Kaida's words, Dulga felt something warm in her heart. It was a nice feeling. She had first worried that Kaida may have been scared of Dulga once she saw her ugly looking arms, but Kaida seemed very understanding. It wasn't something that Dulga was used too. Even her father didn't like looking at Dulga's arms, though he had his own personal reasons for it. But there was one thing that Dulga had to disagree with. "It's fine, Kaida. I'm not embarrassed I'm just..." Dulga had a hard time trying to think of what to say. Normally, she was thoughtful and did things after a lot of consideration. It was something that she learned from her parents. She shouldn't jump into things, had to stay in control of herself to be in control of a situation, and never go without a plan. So of course she threw away all of that the moment she laid eyes on Kaida when she looked sad. However, thinking back to her mother gave Dulga a reason why she did what she did. "I'm here to help. That's all that matters."

Dulga's face grew redder when Kaida called her beautiful. Of all the things anyone would call her, beautiful wasn't something she heard. Sure, she had boys try to flirt with her, but they always said it in a way that made it obvious they were just being immature fools and belittling her. Hearing Kaida call Dulga beautiful made her feel hotter and awkward. Dulga was literally at a lost for words and could only say a few jumbled words in thanks. "Oh... Wow... I... Thank you..." Dulga froze up when she heard someone call out Kaida's name. Dulga looked and saw another little girl with bright blue hair come over. Kaida seemed to know her and told Dulga that Luelle had helped Kaida with something before. So Dulga assumed that the two were friends. She felt a bit embarrassed that she was letting another girl she didn't know see her exposed, but if Luelle was Kaida's friend, than she was probably nice too.

Kaida offered Luelle to come with them to the teacher's office. Dulga was initially hesitate because she didn't want too many people seeing her, but at the same time she didn't want to separate Kaida from her friend. Dulga fidgeted with her hands, all six of them, before nodding her head. "That's fine. We should go though. I don't want too many people staring at us." It was a good thing that there seemed to be something going on in the cafeteria, otherwise it'd be impossible for the three to avoid attention. A six-armed giant and two bright haired little girls, one wearing an over sized cloak, was very hard to miss. "Oh. I'm Dulga Tarata. It's nice to meet you, Luelle." Dulga bowed her head towards Luelle before motioning towards the teacher's office. "Let's go while everyone is distracted with what's happening in the cafeteria."

After leaving the cafeteria area, it wasn't hard for Dulga to find the Teacher's Office. She still remembered the path from this morning when she was taken there by the school security. If she remembered correctly, they also had a school supply room there. Though Dulga didn't know what was inside, she hoped that there was some spare uniforms for Kaida. Once the three girls, Dulga, Kaida, and Luelle reached the teacher's offices, Dulga knocked on the door and waited patiently. She hoped that Kaida wouldn't get into trouble for damaging her uniform.

Dulga Tarata


Listening to Roy and Kaida's tale, Dulga nodded her head understandingly. "Accidents happen." Dulga summarized simply. Understandably something embarrassing happening on the first day would weigh on anyone's mind. Dulga herself had to fight back her rather excessive urges to silence anyone who saw her dancing, simply to save herself from the humiliation that could follow. The dragon girl, who introduced herself as Kaida, thanked Dulga for checking on her and for the handkerchief. She shook Dulga's hand and gave the handkerchief back. Kaida was very short. If it wasn't for Dulga's mask her red cheeks could be seen even underneath her hood. Kaida was just so... "She's so small!"

Fortunately Dulga was able to keep her cool even if she felt flustered. Her mask and hood did a good job hiding her feelings. "... Pleasure's all mines." However the pleasant moment came to an end when Dulga heard something crash inside the cafeteria. On instict Dulga put herself between the cafeteria, Roy, and Kaida, as well as reached for her guns. Except that she didn't have any guns with her. "Dammit." Dulga could see inside the cafeteria and it looked like there was some sort of trouble brewing. Good chances that her own classmates will get involved. However Dulga wasn't just going to barge in without figuring out what was going on. She needed to keep her distance and more importantly figure out what's going on. "Looks like trouble." Dulga looked between Roy and Kaida and thought about what to do with them. That's when Dulga noticed that Kaida's uniform was ripped due to the wings that came out from her back earlier. Dulga didn't want the girl to suffer from more embarrassment so without a moment of hesitation Dulga did something she never thought she'd ever do.

Dulga unclasped her cloak and wrapped it around Kaida, covering her up. Doing so Dulga revealed all her arms as well as her extensive burns going down the left side of her face and her back. Her four extra arms were a pale red with exposed veins and muscles that pulsated with each heart beat. Her hands were clenched into fists as Dulga fought her own shame in silence. "Kaida, let's go to the teacher's office. You need a new uniform. Roy, it looks like there is some trouble in the cafeteria. Could you see what's going on?" Dulga said looking to Roy. Unlike how she looked at some of the others, Dulga's eyes seemed soft, polite. "Please?"

@Heartfillia@pkken
Sorry, life is full of troubles right now, what with marches and protests suddenly barging into my daily life. I'll try to get a post up but Kyra wants to investigate the fire as well.
Anitta sighed. She supposed that this was what she'd get for making up such an elaborate lie. She was half tempted to actually seek such a ground of bandits to slay, but she'd have to follow through with it. Those dwarves better pay well. "So be it. Neil, would you please help this man with his belongings while I begin setting up this place?" Anitta went off to lay some traps around the area. Fairly simple but well hidden, things that would help Anitta should a fight happen here. A few trip wires, a couple of heavy objects falling from trees, a crossline here and there. Their strength lied in their sheer simplicity.

It wasn't long before Anitta had finished laying her traps. She stood near the front of the old man's house so she could escort him through his law, less he accidentally trip over some of the traps she hid. While none were particularly lethal, better safe than sorry.

Dulga Tarata


Dulga had peacefully finished her meal and rested in the tree. It was normally hard for her to sleep well due to her extra arms, often forcing her to either sleep on her stomach or sitting up. Fortunately this tree provided just enough space and support to let Dulga doze off in peace. Even with the chatter from other students afar, Dulga could ignore all of it with her music. What she couldn't ignore however was the sound of someone right beneath her. Looking down Dulga noticed a really small girl curled up at the base of the tree. But upon close inspection, Dulga's eyes widen as she noticed there was more to her then that. Wings, horns, narrow yellow eyes. "No way..." From the short moment they made eye contact, Dulga could see that her eyes were red as if they were crying. Something was bothering this girl. Normally Dulga doesn't involve herself in other people's problems. She doesn't like to act without knowing the full story or all the details. Mistakes happen when people rush in thoughtlessly. However... She couldn't ignore those eyes.

Dropping down from the top of the tree Dulga landed in front of the girl with a solid thud. It might have seemed rather startling for her to do that, but it was just what her body felt like she had to do. The next thing Dulga did was reach into her cloak and taking out a handkerchief. Dulga and her mother made them together. They were pure white silk squares with Dulga's name embroidered at the edge. She handed it to the mysterious girl as Dulga tried to think of something to say. By this point the girl had returned to her "Normal" look, however she could see the holes in her back where the girl's wings broke through. This mystery girl was obviously sad about something, but Dulga didn't know what. Maybe it was a bad break up. Maybe it was bullies. Maybe she just got some bad news, Dulga wish she had more to go on. But it was times like these that she needed to just ask. "Are you alright? What happened?"

As Dulga said this, she noticed Roy coming out. Almost immediately Dulga scowled and thought that maybe he had something to do with this, but quickly stopped herself from doing anything. Roy hasn't really done anything that would earn Dulga's scorn yet, and he seems more concerned about the girl than vindictive. So Dulga simply nodded at Roy, though she did tug at her cloak and hood to hide her face and arms. "Hello Kusayanagi-san. Do you know what happened?"

Dulga Tarata


Eventually after cooling off Dulga returned to class. What happened afterwards was one big blur; all she could really remember was that the lessons were boring and she took a lot of notes. A habit of hers she formed thanks to having six extra arms; she could write three times as many notes, and had filled four books with observations, thoughts, theories, and doodles. Eventually her classes were over and it was time for lunch. Dulga usually packed her own lunch, but today she forgot her lunch box after arriving to school late. She didn't like standing around in line because she knew it'd draw attention to her, but she'd have to tolerate it for today. After today, she'll make sure not to make the same mistake again. Dulga took portable food from the lunch lane, namely a sandwich, an apple, and a bottle of water. She wasn't going to eat here so Dulga went outside. However there was already a lot of people out here too, and she couldn't even go eat somewhere like on the hill or under a tree. Still too many people. However she did have an idea.

There was a tree with some low branches and thick canopy that Dulga could climb into. With her cloak, it'll be tough for anyone to see her as well. So Dulga went over to the tree and started climbing. She held her lunch with her two lower arms while her main and middle arms helped her climb to the top of the tree. Once she was alone she took in the quietness and the serenity. Taking her cellphone out Dulga played herself a song as she removed her mask and ate her lunch in silence. "Not bad. Nothing like at home, but not bad."
Kyra could only sign and shake her head hearing why Torus was acting the way he was. Out of respect for her elder Kyra did not say anything to him, but she made a note to herself that she'd need to make sure Torus doesn't lead a conversation next time. The last thing she needs is for him to start playing mind games with potential allies out of distrust. Save that for complete strangers. At least the monk was able to tell Kyra what Leosin looked like. A black-haired half-elf wasn't much to go by, but it would help narrow things down if Kyra finds an elf by that description. Most elves she met were fair haired, so a black-haired one ought to stick out in her mind. After the monk had left Parum and Orchid had arrived. Seemed like as good of a time as any for Kyra to tell them her plans.

"One of the monks, who helped tend to the wounded during the attack, their master has vanished. They think the dragon cult has taken him prisoner. Chances are they have even more villagers prisoner... I hate to think what their purpose will be." Kyra grabbed the sling of her quiver tightly. She knew exactly what they may need prisoners for, and if they didn't hurry, there wouldn't be anything left of them. So Kyra spoke loudly and bowed her head to the three adventurers standing before her. "I know this may be sudden, and I can understand if you say no... But please! I need your help to defeat the Cult of the Dragon Queen! From what you all told me, what they're doing is bigger than just their attack on Greenest. They intend to bring Tiamat to our realm and spread chaos all over the world. Something this big is... My head is still spinning just trying to absorb it all. But no matter what, I must fight them. Not just for my people. But for the sake of our world. You all came to Greenest's aid and risked your life to save us."

Kyra looked at Torus, still a bit wary at his state of mind but hopefully nonetheless. "Torus, thanks to your wisdom and experience you've kept the people of Greenest calm in their darkest hours and ensured our survival with your actions, no matter how small they seemed." Then the priestess looked towards Orchid with a soft smile. "Orchid, your strength and determination has inspired the soldiers to fight even against impossible odds." Glancing towards Parum, Kyra's previous rage and anger had subsided, and she smiled gently towards the halfling. "Parum... I'm so sorry for the things I've said to you. Anger and fury had taken me yesterday, but if it weren't for your calming words and intelligent mind, I would have made a mistake I could never redeem myself for." Finally, Kyra looked towards the room where Brannor was resting. She laid her hand on the old oak, grasping the iron handle. "And Brannor... He was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. Despite whatever bestial spirit that's within him, he has proven his honor, valor, and justice in the face of evil. And for that, Greenest cannot thank him enough. I cannot thank him enough. And... And it brings me great shame to have to ask you all to help me again. If it were possibly I'd like nothing more than to hold a celebration in honor for all your help. But Greenest needs time to heal, and we have a great and terrible enemy that needs to be stopped. So please, I, Kyra Shepard, Priestess of Chautea, on behalf of Greenest and everyone in Faerun, ask of you:"

Kyra looked at the tree standing before her. Determination was burning in her eyes, as did the rage of all those who died, and the need to protect more innocents from what's to come. "Will you join me on this quest?"

Anitta considered her options. She didn't have that kind of money herself, and she still didn't feel comfortable with using the guild's gold. She did have one idea however. "I do not have that sort of money myself, and I do not know where Pravar is. That being said perhaps I can still find a home for you here. I've recently discovered a guild that has recently opened, and you seem like a skilled and wise man. Perhaps they may be willing to house you and if you offer them your knowledge." It was a big stretch since instead of using the guild's money, Anitta was now implying that the guild would even take the old geezer in. Still as far as Anitta was certain, the only people who worked for the guild that wasn't adventurers was Bart and Neil. Surely they could use the help.

"And if the worse comes and the destruction to your home is too much, I promise I'll do what I can to assist you as well. You have my word." Anitta put her hand over her heart and bowed. She still kept an eye on the old man in case he tried to shoot her however.

Anitta sighed. She figured this was a fight between the Dwarves and the Order. She'd rather not get involved in such politics, but she supposed that she still had a job to do. The least she could do is try to make sure this old man, whoever he is, leaves this place safely. Easier said than done. After getting her questions answered Anitta and Neil went to find the old man's cabin. Neil mentioned using the money to bribe the old man but Anitta shook her head. "That is not my money to use. We won't bribe him with guild gold. Why are you here anyways?" Anitta was genuinely curious as they arrived to the cabin. She saw a plain old man cleaning the lot before he ran inside, grabbed his crossbow, and tried to threaten Anitta. She just scoffed. She could easily knock the bolt out of the air before it could touch her, or just dodge out of the way. And by the time the old man would've even gotten the next bolt out, Anitta could be on him with her blade pressed against his neck. However she wasn't here to hurt him, yet. Instead she called out to him.

"We are not here to rob you, though there's another group here who may want to. I am a bounty hunter seeking a gang of brigands who have fled into the forest. They have at least thirty men in total, and they're seeking a hideout for themselves. I was told there was a cabin in the woods and I suspected I would find them here, but not you." Anitta said smoothly. It was a lie of course, but she spoke with such confidence and clarity that she nearly convinced herself. "I had planned to lay a trap for them here and capture their leader. I'm sorry to have to ask you this, but you must leave, for your own safety. I cannot promise that I'll be able to protect you during the chaos, and surely if I left you here alone, I'd only find a tragedy if I return." Anitta wasn't sure if the dwarves needed the old man permanently gone or just temporarily, but it didn't matter to her. As long as the old man leaves and the dwarves pay their dues, Anitta would get this job done.

There was just one last thing that Anitta wanted to say just in case this old man was a bit more informed than she realized. "I had tried to contract the Order near here to assist me, however this area is highly contested. Neither the order nor their enemies would dare enter this area, or else they'd provoke a battle they may not be prepared for. Thus I have been sent here, along with my partner, to deal with these brigands who wish to take advantage of the political tensions in the area."

Dulga Tarata


"Ah, Kasuke-san I-" But before Dulga could correct herself Mina had left. Before she had left Mina started talking about her mother the Seductress. Dulga had no idea who taht was, but from the sounds of it she was the one that Mina was trying to overcome. Dulga just sat there and watched her new friend leave while feeling rotten about herself. "Good job Dulga..." Sighing, the six-armed giant stood up to head to class. She wanted to ask Mina if she wanted to try to become better than her mother, or become her mother. Even if mina wanted to be able to fight by herself and overcome her mother's shadow, she could still do that while also working alongside other heroes and further do more than her mother ever could. Because otherwise Mina may actually die trying to achieve her dreams. Dulga didn't want that to happen.

Dulga wasn't sure where to go from here. She didn't want to head back to class; it was too loud. She didn't want to chase after Mina, she needed some time to cool off. Dulga didn't know this school very well though. But she knew one thing: her favorite places was high above everything else. So Dulga headed to the rooftop. She just kept taking all the stairs until she finally reached the top of the building. There weren't very high fences skirting the side; just some handrails. "Perfect." Dulga went to the edge and leaned against the rails, looking down at the world from above. It was a good feeling, being able to see everything so clearly. Even if she couldn't see inside buildings or underneath the trees, she could see the entire city as far as the eye could see. She could even seen the dorms where Mina was heading to. Dulga looked with a forlorn stare, worried that she had just ruined a friendship with Mina. Taking her phone out Dulga started looking for a song to play so she could dance her problems away. But before she did she made sure to close the door. Hopefully no one will find her up here.

Once Dulga's song started, Dulga bobbed her head to the beat as she tried to find her rhythm. Once more she let the music take her away and just danced. Danced like she hasn't danced before.
