@KatherinWinter Hah, I'd love to see them explain Nyla to Roxy when she returns :D I dunno about everyone else, but having our characters have to deal with such issues can be quite entertaining. We'll see at what point @xXSINXx wants to jump in, and I'll help out if any collaboration is required.

Nyla might make that growth harder.

@KatherinWinter

How so? Unless you have an issue with the story dragging a little longer to allow roleplaying time for an extra character. From the way I see it, this character could expose the current PCs to new situations and provide them with opportunities for development. I'd personally welcome a new character/player which is why I offered to help with the introduction. I also foresee the interactions being quite enjoyable. Well, it's ultimately up to you whether to accept her or not.

I also want them to bond as a group which is already a challenge.

@KatherinWinter

It's only a matter of time before they do. Now that we understand that this is the direction you plan on us moving in, we can ease up on the random ambushes to give time for interactions/breaks.

@KatherinWinter What exactly is your idea of progression? Do you have an end goal that you're currently trying to achieve? From what I got you were leaning towards more character development and interaction for the PCs. Introducing a new character could be fun, once the group escapes in like three more posts.

@xXSINXx Might she happen to have a soft spot for the kid? I'd be willing to involve Kai in her introduction, but as for when, we'll see.

Skyline Academy (Academy of Heroes)

Rainna Rivera

"Guys, that was totally Outterridge," Rainna informed her companions when the boy implied that it had not been clear who it was who had taken the child. At his mention of a ransom, she thought about the possibility. "Oh, you think he's a dad?"

If that was the case, there was no telling how much one would sacrifice when it came to family. It was highly likely that whoever it was who had made the exchange with the headmaster would have known his relationship with the boy, if there was one. This could be big. What if giving away whatever that was tonight was going to put the safety of the academy at risk, or result in a consequence that was even more serious than that? However, if it was not that, then there was definitely something special about that child. Either way, that transaction was surely nowhere near friendly, and that itself was a cause for concern.

Rainna then flinched and took a step back when the other girl produced a fireball from her hands. She blinked several times as her eyes adjusted to the new light source, and then glanced around warily to ensure that it had not attracted too much attention. It appeared that the individual in the trench coat had caught the attentions of the other two as well. She gave the other boy a thumbs up as a response, before the pyrokinetic girl reacted to seeing somebody else watching from the window. It was then when she realized that it might be difficult to keep track of who had seen what had happened and was watching them right now. It was probably better to have more witnesses, though, if this was not as serious as she was speculating it to be, then it would not be worth getting ratted out for being out of the student hostel at such an hour.

"We... should probably go back inside, if we want to talk," she suggested. "No point getting caught by staff out here. Or you guys are welcome to my dorm, if you weren't already there before. We could enjoy the party tonight and hope that the academy will still be standing in the morning."

She turned back to the hostel after that dry humorous remark, spotting a face flanked by large purple earrings peering out through the stairwell exit. Rainna waved to the newcomer, assuming that she had seen what had happened too, or was just on a late-night mission of her own.

@Ken Oh wow, was just logging in to move this along lol. I assumed your character wasn't gonna come down, but if she is, she still can after I post. Just thought I'd speed things up a little.

Twisted Tales ~ Once Upon a Nightmare

Roxana Tolbert

Ever since the street performer had arrived in Ravenport, the town square had been a regular location where she would entertain crowds with her acrobatic skills as well as play an occasional game with those who would decide to bet their wealth on one. They would always pick the correct shell, until the stakes were sufficiently raised, of course. Things had been rather routine for her at Ravenport before hearing about the Wolf's Den Agency jolted her memory about that mysterious, deserted town she had come across before ending up here. It had been rather convenient that they were hiring, and Roxana had decided to take up the offer in hopes that they would one day stumble upon some clues about that neighboring town.

That was exactly why she was currently at the town square for a reason that was completely different from the usual. She had just been assigned her first case - one about an old woman's missing cats, and those working on it were instructed to meet at this very place. However, she had hardly strayed from her usual manner of dress, and few of the folk who passed by recognized her and shot her confused looks, wondering why the performer was present yet not up to her usual antics. She soon spotted a small, brunet man who looked as if he was waiting for someone, and skipped over to him. He seemed to be rather on edge, but she would dismiss that observation for now.

She gave a theatrical bow before gesturing to herself while she began with an introduction. "Roxana Tolbert. We shall be working on Granny Mildred's case, yes?"

Roxana could not help but feel that the case was way more than it appeared to be. A bunch of missing cats did not seem like much on the surface, but figuring out the 'why', 'how', and possibly 'who' could lead to something a whole lot bigger.

I think I see where the confusion is. Looking at the recent posts, may I propose what the current layout looks like, for the sake of convenience, so that we can move on? XD

Skyline Academy (Academy of Heroes)

It's been some time, hope everyone's still with us. Will move this along with Rainna over the weekend. This whole thing is meant to be semi-sandboxish once the change of scene happens, but do let me know if you have any ideas or need more to work with.

Twisted Tales ~ Once Upon a Nightmare

Hmm cats it'll be then. I'll probably have a post up tomorrow.
