Game of Tails

We still can. If what you're about to say is too short to make post of, or if you simply want to know how the others would react to this little thing you did, write it in the collaboration document and give us a nudge. Same for both heroes and me.

I just felt pressed to leave physical proof of my existence...

Game of Tails

Entirely alright, Neko. Focus on your exam.

Not an issue yet, Koma~ We'll get there eventually~

Game of Tails

The two heroes looked… thoroughly confused. O-of course, she had to explain to them! Solia was simultaneously happy and nervous. Oh, don’t you worry about this! Y-you can handle it, princess! You practiced for this!

‘S-solia will do fine…’ The princess states at the female hero’s difficulty with her name with a small blush over her cheeks while looking over the two heroes and clasping her hands together. OK, what comes naturally after this? O-oh, yes! Explanation! Solia took a deep breath, her tail flapping back and forth behind her in extreme excitement as she focused a kind of serious look towards the two individuals which had been summoned by her hand.

‘I have summoned you two to be our heroes in a time of need.’ Hands of hope held together before her chest as Solia spoke her heart out in absolute truth. ‘The nation of which I am the princess of, Graelian, has been through a time of hardship lately. My parents, the kind king and queen, recently passed away under unknown circumstances. Also, reports of monsters being sighted by our borders has made the entire people sick with worry for the future. In order to raise their spirits, I have declared war against our neighbor Vilante, with the intention of bringing this nation back together by proving we still stand strong.’ It did not at all occur to Solia that the aspect of declaring war did not mean the same to someone who had lived in a different world for all their life. That notion didn’t even exist to her.

‘However, Vilante is currently… a bit stronger than us, and they have a far more experienced queen.’ Solia’s look took a bit of a solemn turn. ‘As much as I trust my soldiers’ and knights’ capabilities, they may not be enough. That is why!’ Hope shone in her eyes, her tone rising in volume as she turned with admiration forward towards her most esteemed heroes. ‘If my people were to get the support of heroes summoned from a different world as per the rituals for when a nation is in need, their spirits and our chances are sure to rise considerably! I beg of you!’ She bowed her head forward, her tail turning stiff and held between her legs as she held her hands together with closed eyes in the way of asking for help.

‘Will you please help us and be our heroes in our time of need…?’ D-did she explain that well enough…?

Game of Tails

I could do that collaboration thing... But honestly, it feels like you guys would prefer to have physical proof of my writing. So here you go.

Any repetition in what she's saying is considered and left on purpose.

Game of Tails

I apologize. I was forced to pay attention on stuff.

... As in, hop onto the collaboration work or hop onto doing an actual post?

Game of Tails

... Maybe I should ask before I make a complete fool out of myself. Does this mean that the tapping a person's back of head or back instant-knockout is non-existent in this universe?

Also, a staff of sufficient power can definitely harm something inside the armor even if cannot harm the armor itself. And I'd say Cinque is strong enough to cause that form of damage, even if his weapon of choice is a staff.

A foil VS armor... I have no idea. Isn't it a small, thin, sharp blade and should therefore be quite efficient at piercing through armor?

Game of Tails

It is entirely possible to use a foil in battle. They were mostly duelist weapons and other items would probably be used in real combat, buuuuuuuuuut... I'd like to remind that Yui here is a hero who will be using a ring to get whatever weapon she desires, regardless of history or anything. If she happens to think a foil is the best weapon for her, then damn right the ring will make one for her! XD So from that point of view, historical accuracy and such things really matter nil. After all, the hero gets what she wants. If she has played this game which gave her the impression foils are awesome combat weapons or chooses one because she has fenced with one before... Then so it will be~!

I just felt I should mention.

Game of Tails

I posted. Simply for the fact about that front probably should be moving on as swiftly as possible, so I post quickly.

I was intending on making a short post, but it turned really long, anyway... Tell me if there's any problems or if you'd act before I manage to do all which I wrote I did. If so is the case, I will shorten it to there and let you act as you want. Alrighto?

Game of Tails

‘Ah...!’ Solia looked up in almost surprise seeing the two shining lights which were the two summoned heroes. They’re really coming. They’re really coming! The princess felt an unsure smile cross her expression, suddenly all nervous about the impending encounter. What will she say? How will they take it? What if they absolutely refuse her and simply want to go back home? What if they are not as powerful as she thought and will only be put in defeat’s way by being called here? All those possible situations swirled around in her head as quite a bit of doubt suddenly gathered in her head. She was on the verge of panicking again, as she was reaching the top of the stairs… Wh-what would she…?

Deep breath. Another deep breath as Solia brought her hands up to her face as she walked along the pavement towards the circle of summoning. It was already done. The heroes had been summoned. There was no true protocol of how to greet them from here, so Solia would simply have to trust her princess training to take the act. That’s right. They NEEDED these heroes. That’s why they should get the most prim and proper introduction possible. The princess smiled, adjusted her hat and clothes a bit and clutched her hands together in hope as she smiled forward, just in time for the two heroes to descend down and land in the midst of the circular altar with artistic pillars around it, mounted up here on the Isle of Summons hovering in the skies…

As the heroes hit the ground in whatever manner they preferred, a magical rose-bud would envelop them and magically absorb any and all impact or damage the hit should have. After a few moments after the impact during which the newcomers would be allowed to regain their bearings after the long fall the flower would bloom, revealing themselves being on this said altar where Solia stood a number of meters away clasping her hands and looking at them with a happy smile and straight posture. The two dogs which had brought them would jump over to her away from the heroes they had summoned, and Solia would lean down to them and pat them happily with the words ‘Good job, Kiwi, Peach~! You’re both a really good boy and girl~!’ to which Peach happily answered ‘Waf!’ with a wagging happy tail while Kiwi merely turned around to stare back at the boy she had brought… rather forcefully. Alam may still imagine the grin being in-place. After that, Solia would stand up, look at them with a happy smile and varying confidence before saying.

‘Hello. My name is Sfogliatine Zucchero Graelian. I am the princess and ruler of Graelian, a nation in the world of Fralanthe. Heroes summoned from another world… I bid you welcome!’ Solia curtsied before the two of them, the two dogs which had summoned them on her sides. In fact, she felt kind of unsure. What would they think of her? Did she do a good introduction? Oooh, she’d have to do a ton of instructing, and a battle was looming! … Yet, despite all that, the princess was really happy and her black dog-tail was waving quite intensely behind her in excitement…

Game of Tails

If she hadn't gained any official rank but gone through all the training which the backstory appears to imply, Solia would not hesitate to give her a position with the right to protect her on the spot should it be brought to question. The reasons being the undying loyalty and great dedication she has shown as well as having proven over the years to be more than just highly capable for the position. That and afterwards flashing a happy smile in the direction of Sera.

Maybe it never happened because Solia never heard of it (the princess will not be happy with any resentment taking place behind her back...), but that would be her immediate reaction.
