Alyon is having a very bad day. xD

Artifacts of a Lost Civilisation - ( Kitsune & NuttsnBolts )

Alyon walked through the cobblestone streets of Gol, looking around and taking in all the sights. She was on her way to collect a train ticket but the tiered layout of the city made it difficult for her to get from one section to another. As she walked she came to a set of stairs and descended down to the lower levels before continuing on to the rough direction of the station terminal.

"Ooof," a voice called out as Alyon bumped into an older lady with a cloak draped over her fragile figure. The collision caused both of them to stumble and almost fall over each other.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you there!" Alyon spoke, making sure that she put her hand on the lady to see if she was alright.

"Oh my," she spoke out with a crackly voice, "It seems like my old age is getting the better of me." She looked up to Alyon and gave a faint but gentle smile, showing off the milky coloured eyes that she had, "Not to worry, these things happen." Without taking too much more notice of the girl, the elderly lady continued on her path, leaving Alyon to continue off to the station.

Alyon reached the station and marvelled at it's glory. It was situated right near the water and a small marine dock, meaning that supplies could be transferred from land to sea for the next part of their journey. The main building was fairly tidy with a large long roof that held the platform at the rear, and several small market shops that tried to take advantage of getting the first customers that entered the town. Alyon walked up to one of the windows and spoke to the ticket operator, asking how much it was for a ticket back home.

With his reply she reached into her pocket to pull out the change, realising that there seemed to be nothing there to grab. "I'm sure I put it in here," she muttered to herself, checking another pocket just in case. It was only after looking for a second time that the thought entered her head, Holy crap... That lady pick pocketed me! She looked up to the ticket operator and noticed his stern, unhappy look with how much of his time she was wasting. Giving a gentle laugh she spoke up about the situation, "Hehe- I may have had my coinage stolen on the way here."

"No money, no ticket!" the man said abruptly, not caring about Alyon's apparent misfortune before motioning for her to move it so he could serve the next customer.

The act of joining an RP that has been running for months...

"So I like this rp. It looks really cool and interesting, but do I have to read 4 pages of posts so I don't lore break? Also, how can my character enter and not feel like they don't fit in or know way too much?"

Pretty much my thought process. Its possible, but it's not easy considering.

Summaries help, good gms help, and an explanation of expectations for the future can help too so you have a goal/motive.

Anime & Manga Recommendations

Nichijou

A high school story about some ordinary school girls and their weird over the top reactions to everything. Highly recommended as something you could put on shuffle and watch in any particular order as the main story is pretty bare and it's mostly these individual events.

Mahz's Dev Journal

We have noticed today that the post new reply/topic window is lagging severely on our tablet. This is most inconvenient. Any thoughts on causes, @Mahz?

Local net is sub-optimal, but other sites are not slow, all other typing is of acceptable velocity.

@Ellri

I occasionally get an error when I open a page and the reply text box is only a few pixels high so I can't even select it, let alone type. A simple refresh fixes it anyways so it's not a major concern.

Edit: and my current post seemed to post up at a reasonable speed. Just thought I'd test off my phone.

Cool! Well hope you do well with what path you go down, and look forward to seeing what ideas you come up with. :D

Yeah, he does seem a bit shady. *wink wink, nudge nudge* I did have Alyon venture off into town so the two could split up for a while. Can't exactly have them linked at the hip for the entire duration, but it should present some interesting opportunities. :)

Artifacts of a Lost Civilisation - ( Kitsune & NuttsnBolts )

Alyon sighed as she walked up to the door and entered the key into the lock. "Trains don't work like that." she replied in a way that seemed disappointed as she opened the door and entered the bland, semi inviting room. "Most of the time they usually have a set day that they turn up to town. Goods and equipment usually turn up at the beginning of a week, and personal travel is more towards the end of the week." It was an interesting thing to note considering they hitched a free ride on a goods express.

She walked over to one of the beds and placed her pack and sword down at the end, opening up the bag and seeing what resources they had left. She knew they were low, but it really showed when there was next to no food to be found besides a few bread slices and biscuits. Adding to that, the supplies itself seemed to be low as well with Alyon thinking that Fraya may have left them back at the camp that she was abducted from. They were lucky though cause they striked a deal for free food for the duration of their stay.

"Fraya," Alyon started as she held onto her sword and placed it underneath the bed itself, "I'm going to head out and see whether I can buy a ticket for the train trip home, and see if there are any small errands in town that I can help with to earn a few more coins." With that said she gathered together what coinage she had and placed it within her pocket. Leaving her bag and sword behind she wandered over to the door and grabbed the handle before looking back at the girl, giving her a smile. "I shouldn't be too long."

With that said she left the room that held Fraya and took the stairs back down to the ground floor. As she stepped down each step she contemplated the events of the past few days, thinking about what kind of creature Fraya was, her connection to these Artifacts, and what she was supposed to do with the girl now. It was the first time she was alone to run these thoughts through her head and with every new scenario she presented, another three would pop into her skull. Argh, there's too much going on that I don't understand, she spoke to herself as she ran her hands through her hair from the front of her forehead.

For now, the main thing for her to do was get the train tickets and see what cash she could pick up during her stay.

Hope the posy is alright. Been pretty sick lately so I may not be thinking the best.

Eagleton High [Just Your Average, Everyday High School Roleplay]

Erica McKinney

Erica entered the group of 42A and looked around at the others that had appeared for the tour of the school. There she noticed that only a couple of people were making an attempt to try and talk to others of the group, but she shrugged that off as newbie nerves. It seemed to be the same at every school she had attended, however with this being her first school outside Australia she thought that maybe the people overseas had a different expectation on what to expect on the first days. Oh how wrong she was. Everyone was still as nervous as could be and starting off with small talk topics to test the waters of who would be a possible friend.

The group started to condense together as a man with dark brown hair began to speak, checking off that everyone was here by calling out their names and ticking them off a list. A young pale girl and tall boy were starting to talk and Erica was sure that they would miss their names, but it wasn't something she was to concern herself with as she was only interested in making sure that she was herself here in the right group.

"Ok, Seniors. Erica McKinney?" the man called out, starting off with the older classes before eventually moving on and ending with the freshman years.

"That would be me," she called out, raising her hand to signal that she was present and accounted for. She dropped her hand down and listened in to who the others were and what years they would be in. As it turned out, a fair few in the group would be from the younger years, making Erica one of the older ones in the tour.

That's reassuring, Erica thought sarcastically, wondering what ancient god she must have pissed off to be put into a guide group with a bunch of 'children'. It wasn't a bad thing by any means, it just meant she didn't really have anyone she could connect with easily on an age to age level.

Its not that strange. We just make up words for everything and know exactly what the other person is talking about.
