From Barren Shores: A Fantasy Survival RP

Just so everyone knows, @Hayazo and I have been working on a little collab involving dispatching of the snake and a little friendly bonding between the bird and the fox~

Figured I'd let everyone know, in case they had something they wanted to do with that.

The War of the Three

@Lucius Cypher@Lonewolf685

And posted. Sorry for the delay~

So yeah.

Silana.

She's about to 100% tell Fran to choose between her and Suparna next time they have some alone time. I also don't imagine Gwynn will be surviving this battle...or at least, if she's does, she's gonna be really heavily crippled.

The War of the Three

~Silana Delacroix~

@KoL - Agrees with Victoire's plan
@Lucius Cypher - Gives Fran the cold shoulder for fraternizing with the enemy.

Honestly? Silana was a little upset. She knew of Fran's extra curricular activities with Suparna, at least a little. What she didn't realize though, was just how...maggoty the queen of carrion was. She watched with mild disinterest as Suparna seemed to make an attempt to 'claim' Fran as her own. Not that she particularly cared about the company Fran kept usually, but there was a really huge burning desire, to crush this vermin under her boot.

But such a thing would be a detriment to their current objective, and it seemed as though Suparna was leaving regardless. She shot a cool, quick, glance to Fran glaring slightly at the succubus making her own displeasure known. Her and Fran, would need to have a talk about that maggot.

As long as Fran decided to fraternize with her, they were done. But that would be discussed later.

"Hasty..." She simply replied as she watched Suparna leave, quickly turning to Victoire and ignoring Fran. "Alive?...hmm. Doable." She said to the vampire. "I will refrain from using any heavily corrosive spells. Fear and debilitation are my specialties after all." Taking a hit should be doable as well, as long as it was a purely physical attack. Of course, she didn't mention this, since she would likely end up letting Fran get roughed up just a little. She was a jealous little thing sometimes after all, and she had to make her displeasure quite obvious.

"Hmm...suppose I may be losing this flesh for a little bit...heh." She smiled faintly, obviously excited at the prospect of making some mortals tremble in their boots at her true form. "Do take the lead, Succubus."

Gwynn Maoilriain

@Lonewolf685 - Speaking to Regia, agrees to defend against demons.
@Ryonara - present in the Cargo Hold.

Something seemed to be happening. The humans and Machina were fortifying this position heavily, from the looks of things. Nothing surprising, as this was still an ongoing battle. Demons? Or her angelic brethren coming to assault? She dearly hopped it was the latter but seeing as how things had turned out, she could only assume it was the demons. Pitiful really, that these humans thought they could stop the demonic hordes without them.

Perhaps she could escape with the treasure during the confusion. Not exactly the most honorable thing to do, but retrieving that was their objective. Besides, the safest thing to do with it would be to make sure it was taken far away from here. Not be in plain sight. Well...the machina had confidence she gave them that. It was a welcome confidence as well. Something Gwynn could find admirable.

Honestly now though, she was tired. Her body ached and her good arm was crippled. Any further fighting on her part would be...well, suicide. So, she let herself be held by her captors...at least, until they were apparently dismissed.

Valkyrie, you have surrendered under the pretense we treat you as a warrior and worthy of the respect of your rank. Demons will be upon this position momentarily, and if we fail here then I will not be able to uphold this agreement nor protect my Queen's Treasure. In this instance it is prudent I arm and return you to the battlefield to perform your duty. Eliminate the Demons, and the Machina will not soon forget the honor of the Valkyrie Gwynn.

...hah...rest was for the dead, wasn't it?

As she was released from her captors, she seemed momentarily unsteady on her feet. With the brief lull in fighting, the adrenaline rush had been wearing off, and well, she ached all over from the obvious wounds. Still, she managed to stand as tall and proud despite the wounds as she looked at Regia, giving her a rather pointed, though weary look.

"I will help, if only because the objective falling into the hands of humans is preferable to it being corrupted by demonic filth." She replied, looking down at her right arm as she tred and failed to find some feeling back into it, wincing slightly in the process. "Though...my condition is not the best. I am unsure how effective I will be in this battle." She sighed, shaking her head and turned her gaze to her shield arm. She wouldn't be able to effectively use her equipment at this rate, and she'd have to get rid of her shield if she wanted to fight these demons effectively...so she did.

The round shield fell to the ground with a clatter as she picked up her sword with her left hand, moving to take a position near the front of the defenses. She may not be in the best of conditions, but she wasn't about to stay behind like a coward.

"My shield protects very well from demonic corruption and spells...if any of you have need of it, feel free to use it. I am currently unable too." With that said, she lowered the faceplate on her helm, concealing her face and covering all of her body save for a small opening near the chest, in holy armor. Any sort of demonic trickery that they attempted to do through contact, would be more than a little difficult to accomplish.

"Likewise, if any human gets injured, I can heal them...somewhat, and if any corruption spreads stay near. I can combat its effects well enough to keep your men fighting."

With that said, she took a position obviously near the front where she could clearly be seen by the demons. Chances were, she'd be the first thing any demons saw...so she stood, stalwart at the front line, an aura of calm healing radiating from the Valkyrie. It was mostly for her own benefit, as she was more than a little wounded. Would it help? Well, if she could return the feeling into her right arm it could, but for now it hung more or less limply at her side, unable to be moved without severe pain.

The War of the Three

@KoL
Working on it now. Sorry for the delay, was really tired yesterday.

@Lime Blossoms

Went ahead and decided to finish mine before I headed off for the night. Mostly to see if I need to change anything, or if anything is amiss.

Lucy

Lucile 'Lucy' Geroux

^{Age: 18 | Hometown/Region: Laverre City, Kalos | Occupation: Trainer}

"Hmm~ hold on...you have some food on your mouth. Lemme get that~"

(she then proceeds to lick said crumbs off your face)

Personality:
To say Lucile Geroux is a bit of an eccentric is an understatement. While at first, she'll likely come off as a somewhat mature girl since she speaks with at least some formality and decorum, anyone who spends any length of time around her will quickly find she is, in fact, not.

While she's not unfriendly, she's definitely not overly so either. In fact, if one had to sum of the eighteen year old's personality, it could easily be described as thus: A teasing, somewhat promiscuous, demanding, pleasure seeker who does things solely for her own pleasure or interest. She'll not hesitate to make fun of someone for small giggles at the expense of their own emotional health or tease someone simply for the sake of teasing them.

It should be noted, she's also not going to go out of her way to help a random trainer either. She probably won't even help someone she knows, unless she can get her 'fun' out of it. Calm and collected as well, its rare to see her flustered in some manner. (some might just call this being completely shameless). And if someone truly ever gets upset at her shenanigans, if they seriously tell her to stop she likely will. Of course, they should make sure to be 100% serious about it otherwise she'll simply believe them to be playing along.

That said, she loves her pokemon and they seem to be just about the only ones she consistently will help without a second thought. If someone does anything to them, they gonna have a bad time.

Bio:
Not much to say here, aside from she's your average Kalosian girl. She grew up in Laverre city, becoming interested in pokemon from quite a young age, preferring those of the dark and ghost typings. Most of the time, she spent her time growing up playing around in the swamps of route fourteen, which is also subsequently where she met her first pokemon when she was twelve, a Goomy. The poor thing was being picked on by some skorupi, and Lucy would have none of it. Afterwards, the Goomy started followed her around everywhere, and the two became fast friends.

The two, over the years became inseparable. Lucy got them into no end of shenanigans, but it didn't matter to the Goomy, even if they got scolded or in trouble. For the shy, introverted, somewhat clumsy Goomy this was practically a paradise to have a human raise it as a trainer would, and be welcome in open arms by both her and her parents. Over the years, the Goomy grew and evolved, and one rainy day when she was seventeen after purposefully accidentally agitating a group of Haunter, she evolved into a Goodra.

Soon after, she met a honedge.

One day, she aspires to be the champion of Kalos. A simple dream every trainer has, that not everyone is able to accomplish. Why? Because it seems like it'd be fun. That's her reason for doing anything, really.

Pokemon:

"Essy (Goodra)"

Essy

^{Physical Age: 24| Species: Goodra}

Personality:
Shy, easily embarrassed, and not so sure of herself, Essy isn't the most confident of people out there. She's constantly doubting her own abilities and her own worth as a pokemon. Doesn't help she's a bit of a klutz and tends to trip over quite a few things, and otherwise be fairly uncoordinated. That said, she is incredibly friendly, and would be the first to make friends with someone as long as they're gentle enough not to scare the poor thing off.

One should also note, considering well, she's a dragon, startling her is a good way of getting sucker punched into oblivion. She'll profusely apologize afterwards, but she hits like a goddamn train. It should also be noted, she still retains some pokemon like qualities, such as her hair being two long ponytail like features. one should also note she is also, still covered in a thin layer of slime. She often slips on this.

Obtained:
Once, there was a shy little Goomy who lived near Laverre. The small pokemon was never the best of pokemon. In fact, it made blunders quite often. All it wanted, was a loving trainer to take care of it. Many trainers though, saw its clumsiness and shied away from it. Until one day it had accidentally wandered into a nest of angry Skorupi, and was saved by a human trainer that took her in.

Ever since then the two have been good and fast friends, despite the teasing from Lucy Essy is subject too on occasion. They have traveled over quite a bit of Kalos, training, and becoming stronger in hopes of one day taking on the league.

"Aethe (Doublade)"

Aethe

^{Physical Age: 19 | Species: Doublade}

Aethe is, well, unlike Lucy or Essy, is probably the most serious one of the group. While she doesn't seriously take issue with Lucy's teasing and shenanigans, there is a definite time and place for everything and a proper set of decorum and rules to be followed when interacting with others.

suggestively licking a Popsicle just to get a reaction from a group of guys, does not fall under proper behavoir.

Polite, well mannered she speaks in a formal, if somewhat cold and mechanical method sometimes. A lot of the time she comes off as aloof and cold when in reality she simply just has very little to say, and things she does say are short, precise, and to the point.

She's a favorite of Lucy to tease, as being the serious pokemon she is Lucy often gets the best reactions out of her. Honest to a fault, but not really gullible herself she takes everything quite seriously and tends to have trouble relaxing sometimes. She does, however, love dancing, surprisingly enough. Can become rather lonely at times, and is grateful Lucy took the time to get to know her like she did.

It should be noted, as a doublade her skin is incredibly tough. She is a steel type after all, and while she can't exactly phase past objects she is surprisingly light as she is strong, and is still able to levitate and perform quite a few acrobatic feats.

Obtained:
The second pokemon Lucy ever obtained, and has only been with her for a little under a year. The tale of how they met is a rather simple one. To sum it up in a single sentence: Lucy saw a honedge, decided she wanted it, and followed it until it decided to let her capture it. Of course, this annoyed the Honedge quite a bit to begin with. It honestly didn't want a trainer. It simply wanted to be left alone so it could train its abilities in peace without being constantly hounded by trainers or other humans. When this human, Lucy, took an interest in her at first she simply ignored the human. She had no reason to accept being her trainer.

In fact, it got so bad the honedge actively attacked the human. Such battles were short lived, though. However, despite the Honedge's want to be alone, it was...surprisingly having fun with these encounters. Something she didn't entirely think she could possibly have with a human. Eventually, one of these battles ended in a laughing fit for all three present.

It was then, the honedge realized this was...well, fun. As much of a serious stick in the mud the pokemon was, it couldn't deny that it had fun. So when Lucy finally asked once again, she said yes. The two have been fairly good friends since then, and Lucy has dragged her into no end of unfortunate shenanigans.

Juuuust for funsises, because every pokemon trainer needs a theme

The War of the Three

just a heads up, post will likely be delayed until tomorrow morning. Kinda tired at the moment. Apologies for inconveniences.

Harvest Moon: BellView Village

~The Ever so Great Witch in training, Selma~

@Stern Algorithm

"Pfft,"

She could taste the nonbeliever disdain. Heh. Hehhe. Selma grinned impishly as the girl continued.

"If you're here to con me, then you're shit outta luck, kiddo. Im from the city, so not your average, gullible townsperson. Go back in town and find whoever is living the most comfortably right now, they're usually the kind of people who aren't willing to work hard to earn their way in this world and are more likely to want a 'magical' solution to their problems. Why am I giving you pointers? Get out of my mine if you don't have anything better to do."

The witch fell silent. She had to play her cards right here. Turn on the charm. Smooth talk her way into this girls head and make her believe.

"Gullible? Oh no no, not at all~" She giggled mischievously, offering the girl a smile as she turned to a cross legged, position, resting her elbows on her knees and her chin in her hands. "I think you're one of the most non-gullible people in town!" She hopped off the boulder she was sitting on, getting almost uncomfortably close in front of the other girl. "As such, my cute little human," She poked her playfully on the nose before giving a dramatic twirl and taking a few steps back.

"I think you deserve a free demonstration of my skills!~" She held out a hand for the miner to shake.
"So, here's what I will do for you. Give me one piece of copper, and I will turn it into silver! Absolutely free, no strings attached!~" For the sake of a possible repeat customer, she could give out a free little bit of magic.

...well.

Considering she got the spell right.

The War of the Three

I'll try to get a post up later this evening~

From Barren Shores: A Fantasy Survival RP

annnd a post.

I actually have no idea how to catch a snake, so I had to do a bit of reading on that.

Hope I didn't screw anything up with that xD

And someone really should go help that other girl. I'd have Sevita do it but...snakes, man. she has a thing for cooked snakes xD

From Barren Shores: A Fantasy Survival RP

~Charlotte Lachance~

"A simple trick to know if they are edible is to look at how colorful and attention getting they are compared to the plant. They work to distract the animals from the main plant by providing something tasty and noticeable, fascinating thing it is."

huh.

Now that he mentioned it, he was right wasn't he? She had only a beginners understanding about botany, but she remembered reading something about that in a book.

"Hmm...now that you mention it." She placed a hand to her chin. "You're right. I'm not overly familiar with plants, though I do have a beginner understanding in botany and I believe I remember reading something about that in some research text or another." She let Urgoth go and gather more of those nuts, while she inspected the berry bush. She picked a few more of the berries, eating a few of them in the process. At least she wouldn't be going hungry, and the berries were at least somewhat juicy. It wouldn't be a substitute for well, water, but it could help stave off dehydration a bit.

She then made her way to the roots of one of the berry bushes.

"I forget sometimes how being large can slow even simple tasks down. This one for sure but better to do it right than not at all. Or at least try to do it right."

Charlotte chuckled lightly at this.

"I was told once that it's better to try and fail, rather than never to attempt to succeed at all." She replied to Urgoth. "A lot of the scholars in Astril can be pompous asses, but they do know how to get things done. That's something that we're taught immediately upon entry into the main tower. Of course, then you run into the problem of being too busy asking yourself if its possible rather than thinking if you actually should." She sighed at that, voice taking a somewhat grim turn but she didn't elaborate. It was no secret that a lot of Astril's mages and scholars were of the shady sort. Not to mention, the recent disappearances of non-locals.

With that said, the alchemist went back to the bush. She didn't really want to speak any more of Astril at the moment, and maybe she shouldn't have brought it up. Sometimes though, she had a problem keeping her mouth shut. So back to the roots with her. She dug into the ground, pulling up the roots of the bush with some effort. She didn't dig them up completely, no, she just wanted to study them. All plants had certain identifiers she could use to at least perhaps determine what plant species she was dealing with here. At least, if it was a distant relative to a plant back home she could possibly identify it...but no such luck. She also didn't have any knife she could use to cut into the root and take samples with either.

"Hmm...nothing like back home. Roots are Adventitious...it's a berry bush. Similar to strawberries?...might have some fatigue relieving properties..." she started mumbling to herself again, and was likely already drowning out anything else Urgoth might say.

~Sevita Lanka~

Sev didn't wait for Masaru to move. She slowly approached the snake, the creature hissing at her in a warning fashion. Normally, she'd approach it from above and snatch it up in her talons, but considering they were indoors...yeah, not happening. Maybe she could do something similar if she could goad it into attacking. She liked to think her legs were rather flexible.

"Woo! Go get it bird girl!"

Sevita simply cast a glace back at Yukine. She hadn't done anything wrong per se, but Sevita was a bit caught off guard by the girls friendliness. There was a time and place for such things...but, well, she couldn't help but to feel somewhat embarrassed from the cheering. Normally, something like this would be standard routine. Cheering someone for something so simple wasn't something she would have done, as it was expected to be done.

Turning her head attention back to the Snake, she positioned herself for a quick, clean, hopefully efficient kill here. She wasn't sure if the thing was venomous or not, and it would be bad if it was and she'd get bitten. If she had to take a bite she could goad it into attacking the armor on her shins. Of course, the ideal way to deal with this would be to somehow grab its head and kill it before it could even do that.

...it might actually be best to have a bit of help with that. Besides, the fox seemed eager to prove herself.

"Little fox," She said, getting Yukine's attention. "I will distract the serpent. If possible, try and grab its tail and hold it at arms length. If you can manage it however, try and grab it just below its head."
