Hello?

Blades of Iron Roses: An Anime-Inspired Fantasy Knight RP

~ The Forest ~

Interacted with: @HereComesTheSnow, @VitaVitaAR

"And beyond even that, friend; there's no great injustice in choosing your life over he who would end it. You don't need to enjoy the act, but you'll need to be ready for it. Keep that in mind from here on out, and it should keep you upright."

Gerard Segremors

Jarde, still with a smile, heaved a sigh and placed a hand on Gerard's shoulder. "Thanks for ruining the joke, Sir Segremors."

------

Captain Fanilly, as the next course of action, ordered for the sentries around the bandit camp to be dispatched. Needing the more stealthy knights, Jarde was of course part of that party and he and the others made quick work of the bandit watchmen. The bandit camp was now vulnerable to a surprise attack from the Iron Rose Knights.

The next plan was a four-pronged strike on the bandit camp coming from four directions. The element of surprise and the illusion of a surround would definitely catch the bandits' off guard and disorient them enough for the Iron Rose Knights to easily defeat them all. Fanilly had selected herself and three others to lead the multi-directional attack and left the rest of the knights free to choose which direction they would join.

Jarde thought for a moment which leader he would join. Tyaethe and Aria already had followers while he had already hung out with Gerard a bit, so Fanilly it was. Of course, for Jarde the choice was not wholly a calculated one. There were feelings there, even if he did not know it.

"I'll be coming with you, Captain. I may not be a frontline fighter but I'll do my best."

Titanica glared Vară into silence despite Haley's prodding. Meanwhile, Neil stood there still not sure what the monster girls were on about although he had a sinking feeling...

The awkward situation was then, fortunately for some, interrupted by the arrival of Freyr, Ditzy and Nagare at the scene. Haley's entire attention was diverted from teasing the Flame Demon and towards the Viera, whom did not part with her in the best of terms. Still, she was the first to greet them.

"Hey, glad to see you back." Haley told Freyr. Her tone was calm and reserved, but glad nonetheless. "So how'd your little reunion with your people go? Run into any trouble? I heard you earlier this morning that your kind aren't exactly friendly to outsiders or exiles." She then looked at Ditzy and Nagare. "Though I guess, things turned out okay?"

Meanwhile, Neil approached Titanica and Vară and attempted to break the ice. "Hey, you two. I'm glad your quest went fine. Ours was a little... got a little complicated." He said with a scratch to his head. "Anyway, why don't we all head back for now? We can do our catching up on the way." He said not only to the Kaiju and the Flame Demon, but to everyone present as well.

Bart's eyes narrowed. His gaze at Yang and Ozzy attempted to wrestle the truth out of them but the duo was resolute with their cover story. "Well, thanks Yang. We don't want to get involved in Varjan business any more than we already did." He congratulated the monk.

"The others will be returning soon, I wager. Why don't you two help me out in preparing dinner?" The wary guild master motioned to follow him inside. "So, what did Ozzy learn in his training?"

The update will hopefully come tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay.

Nechronica ~The Long, Long, Sequel~ (ENDED)

Due to the only two players of this RP dropping, this Tabletop RP has now ended.

Thanks to @GreenGoat & @Skyswimsky for participating~!

Nechronica ~The Long, Long, Sequel~ (ENDED)

Welp, I guess that wraps things up.

Razelia: The Kingdom Of Magic (FINISHED)

South Of Zauberheim

~~~ @AzureKnight (ENI) ~~~

"Fow now, though, I think it best to return to the Citadel and speak with Athos-san. I imagine he'll want to hear about how today's event have transpired."

Enishi

"Right. Come on, I'll take you there." Vitalion proceeded to escort you. "Say, what's your history with this Hisana fellow? I heard you were a bounty hunter or something but surely you've got a deeper reason for chasing her this far and this long." The Head Captain asked. "Not that I don't appreciate you helping to take down a career crimainal. I'm just curious, is all."

"Is the bounty on her head really high or something?"

???

~~~ @AzureKnight (HIS) ~~~

"So, your Varjan huh?⭐ I imagine you've got yourself caught up in this whole drug this too. I recall a mercenary asking me if I wanted to use enhancements in order to boost my strength as well.♣️ Honestly I don't care about the whole thing, but I can't imagine someone as strong as you needing them. From what I've heard you're quite the prodigy, excelling at all subjects at the prestigious Seraph Academy. I also wonder what a school boy would want with little ol' me?"❤️

Hisana

"Like I said, dabbling in those illegal substances was a mistake of mine. My recklessness has almost... ruined everything." Varjan said. "But I have been given a second chance, I shall not waste it. I am now clear of mind and fully prepared to execute my plans."

"And you have heard right. I am said to be a prodigy in the magical arts in all fields." Varjan continued. "I intend to prove them right. Prove them all right, that I am the greatest mage of Razelia." He declared not only to you but to himself as well, his gaze steered of you and into nothingness. As if he was having some sort of vision. "That I will change the world, and immortalize my name throughout history."

His eyes returned to you. "You are in the middle of history, Hisana. So I ask again, do you want to become more dangerous? To have more power to exercise?" Varjan asked once more. "And no, drugs will not be involved. Rather, it'll be my own spin of magic."

Seraph Academy & Luminous Citadel

~~~ @AzureKnight (LIS), @CitrusArms, @Rune_Alchemist ~~~

"Mira, you all seem to know quite alot about Varjan and his familial affairs. Could you perhaps elaborate a little more on the exact nature of his relationship with his kin?"

Lisianthus von Zauberheim

"That is quite a curious bit, isn't it?"

Lumina Lusteria

The trio, having realized they mouthed off some of their delicate secrets, looked at each other for the next course of action. Knowing there's no going back, Ecthel was the first to speak. "Should we tell them?"

Alicia and Mira nodded. "Yes. I think there's no point keeping this hidden anymore. Besides, I think they deserve to know."

-

"Why was he using drugs? And why did he come ask me to kill him at the cathedral? Was it something to do with his parents?"

Seleth Thenri

Athos was silent for a moment, taking in your words. He hung his head before replying. "It's worse than I thought. Far worse than I had expected." The old sage lamented. "What have I done? I was... am, such a fool."

"Yes, Miss Thenri, it has everything to do with his parents. And the rest of his family, and I suppose us too." Athos began his long tale. "The Caldeyron family was not a renowned, famed house a long time ago. No, they crawled and clawed their way to where they are now. Unlike some noble families, they appreciated what they achieved. They did not take it for granted."

-

"And that soon became a problem of theirs. They so appreciated their achievements that they became very protective of it, fiercely defensive of what they have. They jealously guarded their reputation and status from anything. Criticism was seen as attack, advice would get you suspicion. Even accidents demanded retribution." Mira continued their tale to Lumina and Lisia. "And it just got worse. Despite achieving a high status... they wanted more. They never stopped wanting, and they never stopped guarding."

"That continued on to this day." Ecthel took over. "Varjan was the Caldeyrons' most latest pet project. Imagine birthing a child so gifted in magic in the Kingdom Of Magic. It was a miracle from the Twin Goddesses. Or so they keep saying." The boy rogue shrugged in annoyance.

"They couldn't let such an opportunity go to waste. They began training Varjan to hone his innate abilities. He followed at first and, from what I heard, the family was relatively happy in those times." Alicia' face then took a darker visage. "Then Varjan had other dreams. He wanted to be a sculptor, an artist. Not a mage."

-

"You could only imagine the outrage in the family. The Caldeyrons promptly took control of Varjan's life. Restricted where he went, who he talked to, and decided for him to enroll in Seraph Academy." The Court Mage gulped before gaining the strength to continue. His eyes were watery, the liquid glistened in the fireplace's light. "Then Varjan approached me. Asked for my help regarding his family."

Heaving a breath, Athos recounted his part in the story. "I was the Court Mage to the Zauberheim, the royalty. My word carried strength that could shake even the Caldeyrons." He started. "If I told... If I advised the family to lay off of Varjan, I... I could've stopped all of this. There would've been... none of this." Athos' tale became a confession.

"But I didn't... I didn't. He had... he had so much potential, Miss Thenri!" The Court Mage attempted to justify himself. "I sensed it! For him to become something other than a mage would've been a huge waste! He was--" Athos stopped himself, calmed himself. "No, no. There are no excuses. Forgive me, Miss Thenri."

"But that was how I felt during that time. That was my... 'reason' for my decision." Athos continued, deflated. "But I knew what my choice led to and so, I thought it best to light-- attempt to lighten Varjan's stay in Seraph Academy. So as not to leave him wallowing in misery."

-

"And that's where we came in." Alicia motioned to her and Ecthel and Mira. "Lord Athos contacted us about Varjan and told us the entire story and told us to befriend Varjan." She paused for a moment. "I... already knew Varjan then. I attempted to reach out to him several times but, approaching a loner by your lonesome was... hard. He was quiet and... it was just awkward."

"Ecthel and I also knew Varjan, I mean who didn't? But not to the extent that Alicia did." Mira took over. "But we were friends with Alicia too so, why not add one more in the circle? I mean, Varjan was a loner and quiet but in time, he opened up a bit about himself. He even began partaking in activities on his own initiative."

"And oh man, he LOVED his bad puns. He'd always have a stupid grin when we cringed." Ecthel reminisced, but the smile was not to last. "But as we became seniors, his family intruded more and more into his life. He needed to finish with a bang and what's a better bang than the Grand Academy Tournament?" The rogue continued. "We saw Varjan less and less ever since and now... we're here."

- @Rune_Alchemist -

"I... don't know what to ask of you, Miss Thenri, other than try to help Varjan if you find him." Athos finished. "But you're the winner of the tournament, weren't you? You're going to need to prepare for the award and the graduation ceremonies. I doubt you'll have time for the Caldeyron matter."

"I hope I've answered any questions you have."

- @AzureKnight (LIS), @CitrusArms -

"That's why we plan to set out and try to find Varjan. Going by Alicia, he would probably be back home." Mira declared. "It's several days from here so we might need to set out as soon as possible."

"I'd ask you to come with us but... I'm sure you two have duties to attend to, right?"

@Skyswimsky

:(

But I understand. And thanks too for sticking around this long.

So that just leaves @GreenGoat. Are you willing to continue alone? I can play another Doll to keep Rosemary company but... it's not gonna feel like another player. You know what I mean?

Razelia: The Kingdom Of Magic (FINISHED)

We're gonna wait for @Rune_Alchemist's post so I can make an unusual update for all y'all.
