The Epic of Beginnings - Fragments of a weathered scroll

Augusta had to look away from Sorcha. She couldn't help but curiously use her eye on the woman and for some reason, it was giving her some great headache the more she looked. She considered what Leuca had said about her being Fey-Blessed but, well, that seemed weird. That seemed like it'd belong in that Special Attribute area with "Holder of a Dying Wish" and "Human Sympathy" which she could see both. These were her assumptions so far... This Sorcha... She either had an ability that she could not see that prevented her status from being read or she was just too strong for the elven woman or her eye to currently comprehend. Either way, it left her wary. She was sure that, if she so desired, Sorcha could eradicate them from existence.

There were many things she wanted to say. "Who are you?" "What are you?" "Are you really a human?" But, well, she couldn't find the guts to say that aloud. She opened her mouth to say something else but... The words didn't leave her mouth. She couldn't manage to breath the words at first. She made sure she didn't use her eye to look at Sorcha again. She wasn't getting that headache now and she got a real look at the woman in front of the group again. She was beautiful, Augusta supposed. She studied the woman's features for a short time. She was strong enough to hold her own to that man, Railey, but was she strong enough to cancel the effect of her eye? What is she joking about? Augusta knew she was a stranger to this land. It shouldn't surprise her that there were people and creatures stronger than her... But this one was?

She swallowed the thought. She had plenty of time to ponder the subject. She didn't want to make Sorcha concerned by studying her too much so she spoke after making sure that Railey man was gone. "I've found myself rather fond of Leuca in the last couple of days." She took off her hood to reveal her face and, more importantly, her ears. "I'd like to follow her to her journey's conclusion at this point. I also have an interest in reaching the Urutha. Would you guide us as well, Miss Sorcha?" She tried to be cautious with her words but she was starting to hope for a truely warm place to rest.

Erika Frost dresses up

---

Erika just sighed as she watched that hoverboard guy spew foulness from her mouth. It's not that she never said anything uncouth, but geez, he must have woke up on the wrong side of the bed. She didn't really want to go down the same way he went and, if she gauged the conversation earlier, looked to another way into this ruin. Welp, now was as good a time as any. She reached into her pocket and grabbed an elastic band and used it to tie her hair back into a pony tail.

After that, she clicked on her bracelet a few times and held that hand out. A light spread from the device and spread over her body. It fully covered her body at some point and an odd, skin-tight suit seemingly materialized into existence. It was fairly form fitting in certain areas and at least looked slightly armored in some other areas. The woman rubbed the back of her neck, though she didn't feel it much because of her outfit. She checked to make sure her other equipment was where it was suppose to be. Supplies, check. She strapped them closer to her body to make sure it didn't flop around as much. Weapon, check. "Alright, Tanja. We're going this way." She said, leading the small robotic girl by the hand to where the Hoverboard boy didn't go. She was mostly confident they could take care of themselves.

The Epic of Beginnings - Fragments of a weathered scroll

Augusta had found no real tracks and considered they were probably covered by the snowfall. Isidore had already beat her to telling Octavia to try sniffing for any signs of people. The elf merely followed along, eventually letting Leuca down when she was sure she wouldn't collapse, though the two both had the same thoughts in following close to each other just in case. Soon enough, they came to a spot to set up camp and Augusta started to look around for some supplies to set up... Then they all heard clanging steel against steel. "What?" She questioned as they all made haste to the location.

What they came upon was a rather beautiful woman, only slightly ill-dressed for where they were. Not that she was one to talk, but having the upper thighs exposed in weather like this was odd. Then there was the man. He seemed a bit older by hair color and some facial details, though he didn't seem to lack for it otherwise. "Who do we have here?" Railey. That was the captain that was missing from the camp right? It would seem they've found him fighting another person. Leuca's word's identified her as Sorcha, so... This was the that THEY had been searching for? She made a quick note in her head of Railey's skills and abilities. "What a power house. Don't even need the eye to see that."

Then she turned to Sorcha. Augusta knew that... Either of these two would probably turn her to mincemeat if they fought... She needed to learn more about Sorcha then. Perhaps there was something to complime... "What!?" Augusta exclaimed as she looked at the woman's status. "Bu- What!?" She stared at the oddest thing since they had come here. So much missing information! It was like the missing demon clan name back in the prison but... This? This was something absolutely different!

She took a step back. From what? Fear? She had spent twenty and some years living without seeing specifics about people but she felt a small amount of fear just looking at this woman. Sorcha, a human. Holder of a Dying Wish and.... Human... Sympathy? How peculiar to have "Human Sympathy" as a human. Leuca didn't have a "Elven Sympathy" nor did any of those cult members, nor Railey for that matter, have a "Human Sympathy" Attribute...

She was shaking a small bit, though she wasn't sure if this was from the cold or the fear that was slowly creeping through her system at the moment. She muttered, "Why can't I read hers..." Loud enough for her small party to hear, though not the other two if they were even listening. Her head started to hurt as she continued to try to decipher the nonsense before she lowered herself closer to Leuca's height, "Sorcha... Is a human, right?" If she was a human, perhaps she was blessed by a goddess like she, Isidore, Nick and Donovan had been? Or was she... Something else? She stopped using her eyes power and instead glared at Sorcha more to keep an eye on her movements. Something was incredibly wrong.

Scylla

Scylla glared at her master as she was smacked. A small growling noise could be heard in the back of her throat though she didn't do anything. Then, a grin creepily grow across her face. "Hehe. Well, that's fine. I already ordered for you, so now I have extra food to eat." The grin rested on her face rather steadily, "You're right. You shouldn't have told me I can order whatever I want... Though, I'd do it anyway." She mentioned with a shrug before looking around the restaurant. There seemed to be a number of what she would assume to be servants. They tended to stand out amongst a normal crowd of humans after all.

"Say, Master. Which of these servants do you think would be the most tasty?" The sea monster asked, licking her lips as if she was looking at some fancy buffet. "The blondie sitting down would probably be pretty good... The tall one?" She seemed slightly less interested in her, though. "Ahh, but then there's that delectable tiny looking one there." Scylla added, pointing to a certain bird standing in line and licking her lips again. She was quite obviously hungry. "Which one is more to your taste, master?"

Erika Frost stands flustered.

@VitaVitaAR@Rune_Alchemist@Searat@ERode

"Haaaaaaaaa....." Erika sighed aloud as her partner jumped off. She knew that Tanja wasn't normal, but she might have forgot to pound into her head that she should at least try to act it and not jump off of high places. Then that one boorish guy who was trying to act tough by shoving through everyone jumped off to try and save her. She opened her mouth to say something but he was gone before she really had a chance to mention anything. Erika just sighed and shrugged. Realistically, she could probably make her way down to Tanja if she really tried but it was a bit dangerous to do so she opted not to. "Tanjaaaaaaaa....." She groaned mostly to herself as she tried to make herself comfortable on the elevator.

They'd reach the bottom soon enough. She just started listening in on the other's conversation and it surprised her that everyone was surprised that they were child artifact hunters. When the small girl was finished speaking her piece, Erika spoke up so the rest could hear her. "What? Didn't grow up in a town like this? You don't have too many choices as an orphan in a town like this. Not if you want to go somewhere in this world." Her tone sounded friendly, if a little dismissive of the worries. "It's kind of normal in a lot of places a bit more..." Erika seemed to judge her word choices and didn't seem quite happy with her choice when she made it. "'Uncivilized.'"

She had been to the bigger cities before, of course. They were a bit more on the civilized side than where she lived, here as well. "It's not the best word for the situation, but I think it's the best way to put it." She shook her head a few times and put her smile back on. "Oh, and, no need to worry about Tanja. She's just a bit of an eccentric." Despite saying that, the tapping of her foot betrayed her worry regardless.

---

A somewhat short time later, they reached the bottom of the elevator shaft and Erika saw her partner. She jumped off the elevator a little before it reached the bottom. She landed gracefully and paced herself over to Tanja quickly before standing before her. The woman's hands reached out and gently pinched the robot girl's cheeks. "What do you think you're doing." She tried whispering to her, though, it was a bit loud. Enough so for the others to hear. "Don't try something like that again or I'm going to have to just hold your hand the entire time so you don't disappear somewhere." After she said her piece she gave a sigh and switched from pinching cheeks to patting Tanja on the head. "Just don't do things that'll make me worry, alright?"

She looked over to the red headed guy who jumped after her. She didn't really like his attitude and truthfully, she didn't want anything to do with him at the moment. She just gave him a small, noncommittal nod before looking around the area. She had gone ruin delving more than a few times and this really wasn't too different from what she explored for the first time when she was little. She didn't think too much of the luminescent growths since she had seen plenty in her time. "Looks like we're going to have a fun time exploring."

Scylla

---

Scylla seemed to be in a rather good mood today. Which was good for basically anyone around her. She was mostly content to the chaos that following Thalia around the city seemed to bring about. While her jam sessions where questionable at times, it was always funny getting a first person view of Thalia escaping. Today though, that master of hers was extremely tired. "Anything I want, hmm?" Scylla said with a rather wide smile. "Well, you do have many mouths to feed here and it's hard to judge, but'll eat everything I order, dear master~." The monster mentioned with a gleeful smile crossing her pale white face.

She stumbled up to the counter top and took the responsibility of ordering for the both of them. The person taking orders was taken aback at Scylla's appearance first of all. Her tattered outfit and disheveled look was slightly offputting. Still, he stood tall. "Hello, may I take your order?"

Scylla smiled as she scanned over the menu quickly to refresh her brain on what she wanted. "You may. It's a big one." The servant took a breath in and out. "I want a cheeseburger combo, large. A triple cheeseburger combo. Five additional triple cheeseburgers. Four of the larger sized nuggies. Three large fries and that salad thing since I was told I should go on a 'diet'. Pfft." Outside of the one cheeseburger combo, she planned to eat everything else and there was no saying no at this point. After all, she was told anything she wanted. After that, the worker looked in awe and read back the order to confirm correctness. With her confirmation, she left the payment to Thalia and went to sit in one of the available booths. "Woooo, food~"

Erika Frost and a Robot Catgirl leave for work

---

Erika smirked at Tanja's purring. She found this robot somewhat adorable. Still, with her partner admitting her lack of knowledge of where they were going, "Well, it's a good thing I took a quick peak earlier." Erika mentioned with a slight giggle. She released the catgirl from her grasp and opened the door. "Come then, follow me." Erika was quick to pick up on the tradition of this town, the so called unspoken rule of never saying goodbye. As the two left, she saw the Innkeeper and gave her a quick wave to catch the woman's attention. "We'll be back today or tomorrow." With that, the woman smiled and return the phrase.

"Then I'll see you then." With that, Erika and Tanja were out the door heading to where they would be hunting relics. Luckily, it wasn't a far walk. From where they were, they walked through a makeshift market and towards the also makeshift lift down to the hunting site. A guard stood there, always was one. Making sure people were authorized in the guild. Before he had a chance to ask her, she pulled out her pass from somewhere and showed it to him. "I sure am authorized my good man." She said with a smile on her face. "And this here is my partner, authorized as well." She added, patting the cat earred girl on her head. The guard was slightly taken aback, but noted that Erika seemed pretty eager to get down to work with her smile and let her pass. With her continued smile, she grabbed Tanja by the hand and took her to the lift. "We'll be back." She mentioned before the two disappeared down into the sinkhole.

At the bottom, after departing, Erika let go of Tanja's hand and took a look around. "Tanja my girl, these are the first steps of our first, possibly last... Forey into some ruins together. We'll have to work hard together, today." She nodded before looking over and seeing a couple of hunters surrounding a lone girl. She was perhaps nine or ten. It really wasn't that different from the age when she started diving into ruins. She was nine when she went to search for her dad and Fuuka picked her up. She sighed. "Well, hope that girl gets lucky as I did." She muttered to herself and Tanja. "What do you think, Tanja? Talk to them?" She asked her cat-eared partner before patting her on the head.

Erika Frost and a Robot Catgirl Ready Up

---

Erika had took the early morning to gather her supplies. One could never know how long they would be stuck searching for Artifacts. Or, perhaps, if they would ever come back from searching at all. She scratched the back of her head and sighed as she stuffed a small amount of supplies into a backpack. Should be enough for the day, perhaps she could push it to tomorrow easily. Worst case, had to come back for a resupply. This would be easy enough. Well, it would be normally.

The tanned girl looked over to the other inhabitant of the room. An odd... creature? No, what she was told was... Magitech Robot? Something of the sort. Omega... Something, something. Tanja was what she was sure this girl was called. Her teacher had mentioned an agreement with Alhein. One of her disciples would watch over the catgirl, the disciple in question being Erika herself. What Fuuka got out of it? Well, that was a good question. She was rather vague about it. Though, Erika might have been distracted by other things when she was told about it. There was likely something good for her master to agree to it.

Well, either way, it was just her normal job with an extra person along. She fastened a couple of items to her belt. A light source that one could attach to their head, a small portable laser cutter and a flashbang device. Then, one of the more important items, her magitech sword. She attached the sheath to her side and pulled the blade out to check on it quickly enough. Yes, it seemed to be in fine condition. With a smile, she put it back in it's home and double checked. Yep, that was everything. After that she looked at the Artifact on her wrist, Medusa, and rubbed it with a small smile. Her partner for ten years or so now was one of the few constants in her life. She hoped it would stay that way.

Either was, now wasn't the time to think on the past. She walked over to Tanja, hoping she'd be ready to head down into their new brand of hell. "You cute little thing." Erika said, rubbing the catgirl's head a small bit. The cat had seemed friendly enough so far and that was fine with Erika. "Hope you're ready to head down. It's the start of Tanja and Erika's big Artifact hunt. Our goal is at the very least ten." The girl said with a confident smile. Of course, it was most likely an unobtainable goal of course. One was lucky if they would find even one artifact, let alone ten. "Something tells me that we're up to a very good partnership!" Her arm wrapped around Tanja's head and pulled her close. "You know how to get to the site right?"

Dawn Beyond Tomorrow: A Magitech distant postapocalyptic action-adventure RP

Name: Erika Frost
Age: 19
Gender Female
Appearance: It’s easy to pick out Erika in a crowd for the most part. She has rather impressively tanned skin and bleach blonde hair. While a bit on the taller side, the woman definitely isn’t anything impressive in that department. She’s rather well endowed in a few select areas and tends to wear outfits that emphasize that aspect.

Personality: There’s an old, archaic term used to describe one aspect of her. Gyaru. Her speech mannerisms, for the most part, tend to be odd and likely to garner her a few looks of curiosity. Outside that, however, she’s a rather out-going and friendly girl though with a small competitive streak. She likes to make friends with most people she sees unless they give her bad “vibes”.

When it comes to her job however, she’s more than happy to make it a competition if it comes to it and she can be a bit on the aggressive side with trash talking, though she seems to calm down when she wins or loses.

Backstory

"Brief" Backstory: At a young age Fuuka lived with her father, an artifact hunter, near a rather active artifact hotspot. He had a few small but interesting pieces that may or may not have been actual artifacts, it was hard for her to tell. But, he showed her how to work on said pieces to make them work and it sparked a passion in her. Some years later, he went on an artifact hunt to the nearby spot and she never heard from him again. She asked some of the hunters that knew him if they had seen him and they all told her that they hadn’t.

Years passed until she was almost nine years old. She lived in the same dilapidated house that she had lived with her father in. She became somewhat well know, at least among the orphan population and some of the poorer folk, as someone who could fix things for some food if there was no other choice. She took scraps she found and worked them together with some of her father’s weathered and beaten equipment to make a few small, simple gadgets. Simple things that she could sell off to some of the artifact hunters for a small price and telling her if they found a clue about her father. Not that there was any of that ever found. One, however, an older man brought her a stack of books. Books with pictures with bubbles carrying text. An old entertainment source of some kind. They were in miraculously good shape too! Seeing as she was interested in then, he gave it to her since she made something that was useful to him in his search.

Not long after she decided that if no one else would find her father she would. She went out of her way to gather a weeks worth of supplies, water and make some devices. With that and some protective clothing, she descended into where the relics would be. The same place her father might be, an underground complex of sorts.

She dove rather deep and at one point, she was just about to give up. There were many chambers and all were empty. Obviously, others had already looted these easy to access areas. Then she came upon something. A mark etched into the wall that she had seen only from one person, her father. It was something akin to a snowflake and there was an arrow pointing to a direction. Then another. And another and then she found herself in front of a hole in the wall. It was seemingly dug out some. Obvious indentations showed someone had tried to take a pick to it before. They were somewhat successful as there was hole. Small enough for someone of small stature to crawl through.

On the otherside, she found a room that was mostly looted. There was, however, a capsule-like construct in the middle of the room. It was a machine of some sort. It still hummed with power, somehow, but it didn’t seem to want to open. She had brought some tools with her so she took a look at it and, somehow, opened it. Inside was a bracelet of some sort. She took it. Perhaps… An artifact? She frowned and exited the way she entered. She stuffed it in her bag and explored a bit more though she did not find hide nor hair of her father. She turned back and safely returned home.

When she got home, she met someone. A rather well endowed woman who seemed interested in her skills and the ability to collect an artifact herself. Her name, Fuuka. And, as Erika learned later, one of the sages. Due to her expressed skills, Fuuka took her in as a disciple. After she was taken in, Erika started to imitate the style of the girls in those books the old man had given her and started to respect Fuuka as a teacher and came to appreciate her as mother figure, or perhaps even more than that…

Skills In her heart, Erika is an engineer before anything else. That said, there’s a part of her that just loves delving into ruins and other places to find Artifacts. It’s even better if she can mix both of these passions into one thing. She’s honed herself as an engineer, fighter and searcher. Almost comically, she’s also quite skilled at parkour, starting training in this after she was taken in by Fuuka. She’s very good at keeping up or keeping away from people.

Abilities: Erika has pretty good reflexes and dexterity. What she lacks in fortitude and strength she more than makes up for with her control over her body.

Equipment: Erika has one artifact that she just so happened to come across in her journeys. Her teacher, Fuuka, called it “Medusa” and it’s a marvelous piece of machinery and magic. By first look, it’s a rather fine looking bracelet. But once you put it on and funnel some magic into it, it produces an outfit around the wearer.

It gives a feeling of having multiple forms, but there only seems to be one. A picture in an old book seems to describe the look as a “Ninja Outfit”. As for what makes the outfit special, it increases physical strength through mechanical means and has a grappling hook in one gauntlet that can pull the user to the location the hook is as well as giving the user a rather cool look. In her free time, Erika likes to pick at the bracelet to discover its secrets.

Outside of her single artifact, she has a more mundane magitech sword to defend herself with.
