Is that you stroking the castshot or your body having a stroke? XD
*tosses this here and runs*
Good morning everybody! I'm up super early today on my day off for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Oh how work has broken my body D|
I think Aria's ensemble is just fine, thank you very much Dylan |D
And that's an adorably cute picture, omg *o*
I love the limitations you have in mind with her abilities. I can't find any fault with that and I'm glad that you're on the same wavelength as everyone else with regards to power balance, since that can be tricky in some rps. :D She looks like a lot of fun. I also want to say thank you to everyone else for their constructive criticism. Accepted. We'll be able to have you start with us next chapter :>
Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

DANNI NEW WINTER SOLDIER TRAILER HNNNGGGG
Tagress: Park
Estelle listened with great interest to Dylan explain how he had grown into becoming such a fine artist, smiling as he reminisced with happiness at the thoughts of his mother and school. Her own expression softened after seeing the next memory Dylan spoke of seem to afflict him…the carefree abandon Dylan once have transform into melancholy. Estelle was happy to have learnt something new, but not to have made her friend feel like this.
“Yeah, I didn’t like school much either…” Estelle replied, missing Dylan’s point completely. “A lot of the other kids weren’t very nice until my mum started home schooling me…” And then, with surprising forethought, Estelle beamed a bright smile and gave Dylan a short hug after looking at his painting again, blessed by the beauty of it. “But the bad stuff only makes us stronger, right? Tougher, and better artists! Hahaha!”
An uplifting speech, Estelle-style.
And then bedlam erupted once Lucien lost control of his bear summon, the beast tearing through the Guilders and quickly devouring the contents of their picnic before anything could be salvaged. Just before it could then turn its hungry desires towards the rest of the Guilders, it disappeared in a plume of smoke, Lucien sheepishly hiding behind the perpetrators of the accident: Trixie and Nikki.
"Uh...it's, um, Nikki's and Trixie's fault!"
"Wait no! No it wasn't, it couldn't have been me! I can't control bears! It- it was- it was the evil cat lady! Cuz yaknow they're evil!"
“Whaaaat!?” Nikki screeched. She shifted her eyes from side to side, trying to find the next person in their line to divert the blame to, but found no one else actively near to them. But she had to pass along the blame to someone else, after all that was part of the game! “It wasn’t my fault! It was… it was… it was… Selan’s scissors! Yeah! Bears like shiny things and that’s what it was! Honest!!”
A collective pause from everyone assembled.
"What the fuck, you guys!" Amy broke the silence by laughing heavily, needing to lean against the nearest tree with wine and Kapi both in tow. Marcus silently inched closer to her to help her with her standing were she to accidently fall over.
“Ahahaha that’s such a stupid excuse, Nikki!” Estelle laughed, pointing towards her. A mischievous glimmer twinkled in her eyes, and she turned to Selan. “I think the three of them need to be taught a lesson, Selan! I think they all need a haircut! Trixie losing her pigtails… Nikki’s to be cut super short… and Lucien to go bald!”
“What on Ddaear is all this racket…? Oh. It’s you guys.”
From the entrance to the Park, two new figures suddenly arrived. The massive, muscular Tiberius walking forwards with confusion etched on his face at the Pride’s activity and the ruined picnic baskets and blankets, the entire group shouting and screaming as always. Next to him walked Trent, quietly holding his board. Tiberius leaned down, offering a hand to the fallen Moira to help pick her back up.
“We heard shouting and screaming… and what sounded like a bear roar. You guys are only a day out of the hospital… what have you been getting up to?”
Hey Kathi, no need to be nervous! ^^
I like Aria a lot, but of course I mentioned that in pms. |D
I'll echo what Buns and Rex have said. I like her class and powerset, an illusionist is different to what we have with everyone else and opens up to a lot of potential both battle wise and downtime wise in interaction. I like her fan weapons too, that's really neat and unique and something that's pretty cool. She's very ninja-esque going off abilities and image, which for me is fun. I like her personality too... as Rex said, she's different to everyone else we have so far but enough similar traits for her to compliment everyone else nicely. Another drinker get ruined with Amy and Moira sounds super fun (also their ages would roughly be 40ish, 30ish and 20... that's a pretty hilarious mental image to me for some reason). I think battlewise she and Trixie could play off each other nicely, and her cheerful pessimmism is hilarious too. She and Lucien would get on magnificently.
Something I want to ask though is what you had planned for her limitation wise with regards to her illusions, just to get a sense of idea about power balance? :) Illusion based powers can be overpowered but that's dependant on the writer, and I'm just curious what kind of limits Aria would have at the moment. Generally, skewing towards lower power/abilities is better, at least to start off with and see how the rest of the cast is, plus the fun thing about illusion powers too is the room with which they can grow. Just wondering what you think about that and what examples you might have of the types of illusions she can cast.
One thing I asked Kathi about in pm is how Aria fares with 'playing music', since we have a couple of music based characters already and (Kathi can repeat/further explain this for herself :) ) was wondering how exactly Aria does this. You mentioned she can play a violin, and she sings as well (but not neccessarily to a great degree?). We have Selan and Don singing and dancing, which could be cause for concern with her overlapping in this regard, but I think Aria could actually contribute this nicely if she's more violin based and accompanying Selan as an instrument player, perhaps. One idea I just came up with, and is only a suggestion, could be, say, Selan and Aria bonding with the former coaching Aria on how to sing? But I'll defer to Tae to comment on thoughts with regards music stuff since that's mainly Selan's thing.
So yeah, I'm excited.
Also, asking about timezones is a good question. I don't think timezones might neccessarily cause problems if everyone's posting once daily in general, but it might be handy to know in case of some people overlapping same timezones and needing to wait (i.e. Buns normally waits for me to write a post). I live in the UK too, so GMT (so we're... +1 now cus of daylight savings? I dunno, lol).
What about you Kathi? Whereabouts do you live/what timezone are you? ^^

Tagress: Docks
The beating of feet continued to echo across the cobblestone streets, as workers heaved to and fro between carrying equipment and goods off and on the bustling ships. Don continued to simply stare at the surf, lazily smoking his cigarette and pondering what to do with his life.
He had made a promise… to Big Sis and Selan. To his little sister Josette, all of his bros, and to himself. To make something of himself. To become a Guilder and be a man. He had made a promise to himself and yet… he had failed, spectacularly. He wasn’t a man. Anything but.
Should he stay? Should he go? What to do?
Selan…
He didn’t know.
He scrunched his eyes up tightly and smothered the cigarette against the ground.
Maybe some time away would be good. Some time to get his thoughts in order. It had been a month since the battle at Vandrell, and for a month he had been struggling with this issue, no closer to an answer then he had been that night. He couldn’t keep on going like this. Something had to be done. Something had to change.
Could he make that change?
Tagress: Guild
“Really? You want us to come with you? But… but what about the Pride?”
Celeste was seated at one of the Guild’s many tables and chairs, Julius quietly sitting beside her, his arms folded and his eyes closed, divulging all of the information that the two individuals sitting opposite them had just divulged.
“We can’t! I mean… I know I only just joined recently and… I’ve kind of been a tagalong but… but I can’t just join and then leave everyone like that!” Celeste continued to protest. “They want me with them. I can’t just… up and leave. Right, Julius?”
She turned to her silent partner, who said nothing.
“You’re not going to be leaving,” The voice replied. “You’re still a part of the Pride. And you always will be. But this mission… this mission’s important, otherwise Tiberius wouldn’t have asked us. You’re free to refuse, but…”
“Then I refuse!” Celeste’s fist pounded the table. “I’m a part of the Pride! I’m not going to just leave them and-”
“Celeste.” Julius finally spoke up. Celeste’s lip quivered, her eyes turning to look towards him. His expression remained as cool and emotionless as always, first looking to her, then their table’s companions. “…I think we should go.”
“What? But… Juju, how could you…?!” Celeste’s face turned a bright red shade, anger besmirching her features. “You wanted to be with them more then anything! Enough that I had to chase after you in the first place! What the hell are you…?!”
“You heard what the mission is…” Julius took a deep breath. “We’ll be helping the Pride anyway. We might not be able to go with Estelle and the others, but we’ll all still be working together. Besides. Tiberius asked for you and me. Stop for a second and think why.”
Celeste’s anger was briefly stifled. “…I don’t… I…”
“Because he wants you two kids on my team,” Their guest replied, a small smile curling on her lips. “We need you, and he trusts you two.”
“Nng…” Celeste groaned, trying to come up with a reason to resist, and failing. Truth was, if an A ranked Guilder like Tiberius Rex wanted her to do a particular mission, then there was little chance of refusing it. Because like it or not, she had no choice but to trust his thoughts and understand that it’d be for the best. And this particular mission… well, it sounded tough, but it also sounded desperate enough that she couldn’t say no.
She would have asked why Tiberius didn’t come up to the whole Pride to ask this of them together, but also knew the reason for that, too. The Pride had to find the Clockwork Town Guild Leaders Rize and Kara. And whilst that mission wasn’t desperate enough to be accomplished right away, they had wasted a lot of time already. A month stuck in the hospital meant another month the two Guild Leaders could get further, and further away…
“F-fine…” Celeste whined, gripping her face in her hand. “Anyone else in, or is it just us four?”
“Three others…” The woman’s voice returned. “Trent, Nikki…”
“The two Guilders we found at the Manor?” Celeste replied. “This group is sounding more and more to me like those of us who are the ‘odd ones out’…”
“And…”
Elaine's eyes lit. Her seated husband, Malik, said nothing and made no movements as Elaine finished her sentence.
The last Guilder to be mentioned made Celeste’s eyes bulge incredulously, and for even Julius’ stony façade to elicit a twitch.
Tagress: Park
Delight continued to consume Estelle’s entire fibre as she admired her new haircut in the mirror, absolute pride beaming in her face upon seeing the results of Selan’s handiwork. She had expected good results but she never expected to look THIS good! She was like a movie star!
She automatically turned and assaulted Selan with an hug, thanking her again and again, before hip hopping towards Marcus, and rather bashfully asking him how she looked. Marcus response, of how she looked absolutely beautiful, caused Estelle to blush even more.
She then continued her hopping towards Dylan, and gasping in surprise at the painting he had accomplished of her and Selan. It was so… so regal, so beautiful! It was jaw dropping! Estelle was no fine art critic, but even she was taken aback by just how beautiful the painting was. His line and colour work was unlike anything else. And Estelle… she couldn’t stop staring at the reflection painted on his canvas. There was no way she looked as good as that… did she?
“Wow, Dylan! Where did you learn to paint like this?” Estelle cooed.
Nikki meanwhile, fitfully laughed at seeing the reactions Lucien’s bear summon enjoyed from everyone, and the fitful slobbering he provided to Moira’s face. Also noticing Trixie’s poking, Nikki sidled on over to the motionless summoner’s body, and still laughing, elbowed him playfully in the ribs quite powerfully a couple of times.
"Hey. Hey. Hey Lucy hey what other-- hey what other animals can you do??"
“Lucien’s so awesome! His bear summon’s good, but the cat one’s better! Show him, Lucien, go on!”
Another couple of elbow hits smacked him in the side. Hopefully Lucien’s concentration would be maintained, otherwise…
