Make things worse then they already are? Pfft, please. With her help, things could only get better! For whom they could get better for though, was a question she was going to let the others figure out for themselves. It seemed both Viktor and Allen had some amusingly boring mundane thoughts. At least Luna seemed a bit more interested in seeing this through to the end.

"Hate? Please, Allen dear. I agree with Luna. Letting the two of them blow off steam is a good idea, and knowing Xinhua's temperament, I do not think she'll just back down," Viola smiled and giggled softly. "...at least, not without a lot of persuasion." What she meant by that, she didn't tell. It was likely something less than honest though. "So wouldn't it be best to just let it happen and help where we can?" More importantly though, was Meruin. She didn't come over here for idle chatter. She had something she wanted to discuss with the mage. She offered her a small smile as she spoke.

"Now Meruin, nothing is wrong with losing your composure every now and then, especially after having your skill and pride insulted like that. After all, Archetypes are stronger than a dragon would be, would they not?" Viola replied cheerily. "Xinhua is just too prideful to realize that a powerful and clever mage such as yourself might actually pose a threat! I'm not going to lie, I would love to see her knocked down a peg or two, hehe. Arrogance such as hers is not becoming of anyone."

Viola giggled lightly and leaned a bit closer to Meruin as Cheshire grin formed on her lips.

"Now, don't get me wrong. I think you are quite strong. You are the apprentice of an Archetype, are you not? Just because you dislike fighting for some silly reasons such as duels does not mean you are not strong. However...I would be willing to lend you my assistance in this matter if you want it." She reached into one of her pockets on her dress, a leather bound tome that seemed to be in extraordinarily good condition despite its old seeming age. "Of course, since it is a duel my help is limited...but say, if you possibly wanted...to have a bit of help in the duel from someone I can arrange it. Getting help from...a spirit or two wouldn't be too much of a problem for I."

Of course, summoning something powerful was outside the realm of possibility for her. However, that did not mean she couldn't have a bit of help from Meruin. As strong as she was supposed to be, it should be an easy task for the both of them, to rip a powerful demon from its place and form a temporary contract with it. With her knowledge of spirits and magic in general, and with Meruin's skill - they could probably summon something quite powerful.

"Granted I get something in return, of course. That's how these things work after all."

She really hoped Meruin took her up on her offer. It would speed her own plans along quite well, and she'd be able to skip that entire business she was planning to have Allen's help with. Well, unless something went horribly wrong if they did this, but she doubted that would happen.

"So would you like to make a contract?~" Despite the innocent way she said that, there was a definite darker undertone to the words.

Welp, PlatinumSkink has been gone for a week.

Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

Got a small post up finally. Now off with me to do important life things that I should have done earlier today. yay for procrastination!~

Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

~Lila Vyner~
Divers Paradise

Lila whistled quietly as she folded her arms across her chest, guns holstered at her side as she observed the so called Divers Paradise...or at least the remains of it. She leaves for a few months, and this place looked like more of a hellhole than it usually did. Looked like some sort of big fight happened, and she was glad she was late to the party. No way in hell did she want to get caught up in any of this bullshit unless she could help it. She didn't survive this long in No-Mans by getting caught up in needless fights, at least. She may be a 'diver', but she held no love for anyone here.

The hunter shook her head, walking away from the entrance to the place. She largely ignored those trying to rebuild their houses, a few people running across her path as they hurried off somewhere, likely in a hurry to fix something. Lila paid them no mind, she didn't come here for charity work. That said, it didn't look like she'd be getting what she did come here for. A brief reprieve from No-Man's land and its trials. As much as she liked not being in any large city like place such as this, even she needed a small vacation every now and then. Meaning alcohol, obviously. Mostly to stock up on some alcohol and bring some back to her own little slice of 'Paradise.'

That said, she couldn't help but to be curious. Information was always good to have, and knowing what was going on in the world gave one a keen advantage to not getting buried six feet under at times. Information on creatures, terrain, people, things like that. From what she picked up from the chatter of people as she passed, seemed like the CMAS finally found this place. She grunted beneath her mask. She always figured it'd be a matter of time until they did find it, and when they did she knew something like this was going to happen. She was surprised the place hadn't been completely razed. Luke and his little posse of divers must have more fight in 'em then she gave them credit for.

She had to briefly wonder if Mira was caught up in this? As much as she didn't like people, Mira was at least tolerable company. A bit one the...distant side sometimes, but not like she could exactly complain too much about that. That's exactly the reason why Lila liked her anyways. She didn't try to get up all in her business and Lila didn't get in hers, but at the same time she supposed they were what people could call 'friends'.

If she was around, Lila would find out soon enough probably. So for now she contented herself to see if she could find more information on just how badly this place was going to be fucked once the CMAS or anyone with a chip on their shoulder showed up again.

@Slendy

Yeah, that's fine if you want to. At least, I don't see any reason for you to have to stay if you're busy~

Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

@tex

Mostly because she likes her privacy and wouldn't want to stay in the paradise with a bunch of fuckleducks that would just give her a headache.

...that and I didn't realize that's where the Paradise was. I must have missed that, but eh. Close enough to be a short walk away from it, but far enough away that no one bothers her stuff is cool. She's not home a lot of the time anyways since she prefers to travel around.

I'll get a post up tomorrow, it's late and I'mma sleep.

A Hero Tale: Lystra

"Please, you have to!" Lystra replied, her voice sounding full of a small bit of irritation and she was giving him a small glare. "I don't care if I have to put up an entire tent by myself or whatever else you want, we are not lying!" Coming from Lystra, that was almost as good as selling her soul. It was the only thing she could think of to possibly say that could convince him. If it didn't then she wasn't sure what else she could do. For all she knew, Kalen was already dead, and that man was coming up here to do something to the rest of them. She ground her teeth silently together as she waited for his response.

If he didn't go down there and do something, then she might just go back herself. Maybe...maybe she could do something with whatever this shield was. As much as she didn't care much for Kalo, there was the chance whoever that was, was going to harm Gremma, Emilia and her little brother. She wouldn't let that happen if she could help it.

project//Godslayer

@Rune_Alchemist He's a schmuck and behind on things, that's all sadly. Midterms are next week, so my activity is likely going to be spotty at best until they are done. But some time tomorrow or Sunday I'll get the meeting started so everybody can split off and keep the RP going.

@Sarcelle Renard

It's cool man, we're not in any huge hurry. Good luck on those midterms though. So glad I don't have to deal with those any more~ xD

Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

@Empath

Pfft. Mira's the one who'd need to put up with Lila's vast amount of bullshit xD

I'd be all for it. About how long would they have known each other, then? Lila's been out in No-Mans land for around seven years or so, so they'd have plenty of time to be acquainted with each other in some fashion. Lila might need a bit of persuasion to ever be 'friendly' with, but I could see them having a bit of a friendship if Mira could put up with her bullshit. Mira's been out there since she was...27 if I remember from her backstory. I could see Lila might teaching her a bit, or at least letting her tag along on her hunts or occasional CMAS raid so she could watch and learn.

@Tex
Speaking of, I've been meaning to ask if it'd be alright give Lila a bit of a hideout out in the Ulimani Crags. Nothing big, but just somewhere she'd stash some of her more important junk and occasionally stay if she was in the area.

Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

I'll probably be putting Lila in the Paradise as well for now. Wouldn't exactly fit in anywhere else, I don't think. Suppose I might have her harassing one of the survey teams for the lulz though, but that also sounds like a good way to get dead.

If anyone wants to discuss possible relations with the grumpy recluse, I'd be all for it.
