~Cynthia, Ritsa~

Ritsa's usual smile turned into a frown as she watched Fia explain about herself. She didn't ask further, though, and merely reached over and gave Fia a tight hug.

"And done." Cynthia said, rinsing off the last of the conditioners. "If that is everything, then I will be going. You are free to stay here and relax as long as you wish. I doubt the headmistress will mind." With that, Cynthia stood and smoothed out her dress before leaving quietly. As she left Ritsa released Fia and hopped back into the water.

"Hey hey, Fia, come ooon! Let's play!"

~Fox, Gwynn~

"Ha, Lady Sel." Gwynn said with a laugh. "Yeah, sure alright. You worry wayyyy to much about your grades though." The pirate sighed, but stood up as she rubbed the back of her neck. She might as well get going, then. She hadn't wanted to stay here longer than needed. Though, the fox hadn't returned yet and she did say she'd stay for dinner.

"This one has returned, 'Master'," The fox walked back into the room without so much as knocking or otherwise announcing her presence. "Ah...is Gwynn leaving? Such a shame. I suppose I'll have to eat this myself." She said, holding the obviously foreign food up for everyone to see. It was likely clear she just brought whatever she'd enjoy eating.

"Pfft, can't get rid of me that easily, fox." Gwynn said. "'Sides, that looks delicious."

~Miren~

Miren narrowed her eyes at Eith. What was she going on about? She didn't entirely understand. Overthinking caused her to...'overheat' or something? That sounded bad. And serious. What would cause such a thing? It would be easy to dismiss it just as Eith being Eith, but Eith had no reason to lie about such a thing and since Eith was her friend she'd be remiss to try and dismiss it so simply. She frowned.

"I-I see..." Miren said slowly. "Have you talked to someone about this problem, Eith?" The rabbit asked. "It sounds serious. The headmistress could probably help. She helped me a lot when I was...erm, adjusting as it was."

~Livia~

Ho~

That entire story sounded vaguely like a threat. This Yuki-Onna definitely was getting a bit worked up over a bit of teasing though, and it was entirely entertaining. Livia would have continued the teasing too, but she doubted pushing the ice woman too far would gain anything other than annoyances even as amusing as it'd be.

"Not interested? Tsk, now that is something I haven't heard in awhile. Makes me a little upset, if it wasn't funny." She said with a small chuckle. "Either way, I was just teasing you dear. No need to get so worked up about it. I'm glad Cynthia has found someone, really. The girl's hopeless when it comes to looking after herself." She sighed, shaking her head. "That said, I do care for her...so do make no mistake. If something happens to her I will definitely hold you responsible." She smiled, taking a sip of her tea.

It was about that time Cynthia returned from the baths, quite surprised to see both Mugi and the Headmistress.

"Mugi."She said with a polite greeting.

~Sorcha~

"Ha, indeed that sounds lovely." Sorcha said, as she started to walk out of the clothing store. "And Luna darling, if I've been bested by men wearing nothing but armor, a sword, and not magic whatsoever you definitely have a chance." The dragon rebutted. "Have a little more confidence in yourself. If anything, I'd say I was more dangerous before since I was hardly in control of my own actions and was quite intent on having myself a nice crispy human for dinner." She chuckled, flashing the knight a toothy grin. "Just to keep things fair, if you want, I'll refrain from using any magic and remain...mostly grounded as well."

Actually, come to think of it...having Maoin spar with Luna would be a fairly good way of gauging the kittens progress. She was able to spar against her with some success, so she was curious as to how the kitten would fair against a human. But that would be for tomorrow, though. "Tomorrow sounds lovely, but for now...food!~" As usual, the dragon seemed overly eager to indulge in her more gluttonous tendencies.

And the battle has been practically decided. With a smug smirk, Claire watched as her foe completely lost her situational awareness. She gave Combee a thumbs up and a grin, doing her best efforts to send her a telepathic message 'Thank you for your sacrifice'. The Bee frowned, giving Claire a stare of death before it turned its attention back to the human that was currently holding it, six beady little eyes glaring at this insolent human.

How dare she touch her! She should be groveling before her! Lure struggled against the humans hands, buzzing in a displeased fashion as she couldn't get free, flapping her wings wildly.

"I don't need to tell ya what to do, Girl." Claire shouted towards Ralia. "Finish off that Froakie and then hit that Mienfoo!" She completely ignored the other girl for now. As soon as she wrapped up this battle, she could talk to her about ambushing people out here in the middle of nowhere. At the command, Ralia did another little twirl, focusing all of the energy she could into an attack on the Froakie.

"Rrrrrraaaal!~" She gave a happy cry as she loosed another Confusion. If Froakie fainted, she'd move right onto using another on Mienfoo.

"Del, slow down the Mienfoo if ya can. Ritz, blindside 'em if ya can and keep 'em off Ralia if he goes for her!" Del switched targets almost instantly, turning his web slinging right towards Mienfoo. Ritz continued to avoid and circle around the pokemon, intent on distracted him and hitting him with a tackle if he decided to attack one of the others.

Botanist And Bards

~Charlotte LaChance~

"You...just have to ruin the moment, don't you?" Charlotte said with a sigh, not even batting an eye at Aislinn's body. "Not happening." No way she was removing her clothes just for this. She was tired, and she honestly just wanted to go ahead and get some sleep. Not that she really also felt like arguing or messing with Asilinn if she pressed the issue either, though. With a yawn and a stretch, Charlotte kicked off her boots and for the most part, ignored Aislinn's request after telling her no.

Didn't stop the blush spreading across her face from deepening though. If something like this wasn't in purely scientific inquiry, she wanted nothing to do with it...usually.

Botanist And Bards

~Charlotte LaChance~

"It's nothing." Charlotte said with a somewhat forceful sigh, face reddening slightly. Ugh, she was terrible at this. "But yes. I was...thinking about turning in." Whatever was on her mind Charlotte at least seemed like she made up her mind - or rather, Aislinn seemed to have made the decision for her. The Alchemist seemed more or less happy as she ever did, at any rate as she went on to explain the 'medicine' she took earlier. "The medicine isn't really a medicine, but a type of poison. It forcefully causes any essence in the body to leave. It's a fairly good way of getting rid of such poisoning as that. It does leave the person extremely tired afterwards, though." Great, falling on her old habit of over explaining things when she was nervous like usual. "Also could kill someone if they drank it otherwise." She could have probably left out that morbid detail.

Charlotte removed her cloak, hanging it nearby the bed making sure to finally shut her mouth as she sat down on the cot.

"Not usually a good thing...but it can also help with getting to sleep if one is tired." She yawned as she sat at the edge of the bed. The tattoos seemed to finally start dimming as well.

Apotheosis

Alright, Sil is now in the same building as you guys!

No clue what's going on at the moment though, but if need be I'll make another post later with her doing some introductions.

Apotheosis

~Silana & Kichi~

---

Cold.

Blackness.

A sick feeling in the pit of her stomach.

...She felt utterly alone. The inky blackness that swirled in her vision greeted her like an old friend, but at the same time it felt so distant. She tried to move, but it felt like something heavy was weighing her down. She her noises and voices out in the distance, but she couldn't make out what they were saying. Goblins or something or another? That sounded silly. She wasn't a goblin she was a...a something. Who was she, exactly? She couldn't recall.

As more and more of her senses returned, the goblin managed to finally shake off the sleep that plagued her. She managed to push herself to her feet, immediately noticing that there were other...goblins? That's right, she was a goblin. And her name was Silana. Odd, she could have swore...no matter, then. The second thing she noticed, she was a lot shorter than the others. Well then. Leave it to her to have the short end of the gene pool. What, was she a runt or something? Hah. That was funny.

Well, even if she was she'd...do something. She didn't know what, she wasn't a clever goblin yet. Instead of speaking and trying to say something like most of her brothers and sisters though, she simply remained silent and quietly observed. Walking wouldn't be too much of a problem...probably. Maybe the first few initial steps, but that's always the way it was in anything. First steps were the hardest and all that. That said...it seemed the rest of her brothers and sisters were still sleeping. Not much to observe, was it?

"..." She turned her head to what she believed would be someone who maybe had an inkling of what was happening here, blue eyes blinking as she observed them. Now...what would she do? She was curious as to what was going on.

She wanted to learn.

As Silana remained there in the darkness of the cave, the shadows cast at the point where the cave's darkness met the outside light shifted.

The form of its body was roughly similar to that of Silana and the Goblins near her, but save for that, this being was certainly no goblin. Clawed hands, dense musculature, mottled grey skin, height that towered above hers, and those yellow eyes that glinted with the ferality of a predator were all sure signs that this party was far distinct from her. And yet, it gave off nothing that could be called killing intent; indeed, the only pressure that seemed to emanate from it was from a primal fear that originated in Silana herself, rather than from anything the other was actually doing.

"Ah, another one's awake. It's fortunate I decided to stop by to check up on all of you when I did." The being remarked, its words every bit as comprehensible to Silana as they had been to the other newborn goblins. "Child, welcome to the world. I am Kichi, leader of the goblin tribe of this Ironwood Forest that you have been born into." He introduced simply, gesturing for the younger goblin to follow him outside of the cave. Ordinarily he'd have been a bit more accommodating to one who had only been conscious for a net total of five seconds, but given the mental acuity that the others in this group of newborns had demonstrated, he saw it fit to be fairly straightforward.

"Your siblings woke up shortly before you, and have left to explore the place where a group of beings called 'humans' live, accompanied by my son. You're no doubt disoriented from just having awoken, but if you like, I will take you there to join them. You may also choose to stay here and get a bearing for this forest, if you so desire."

Thankfully, any questions she immediately had were answered in a swift fashion by Kichi. So she was a late bloomer, so to speak? Wherever that expression came from she hadn't a clue. Seemed apt, at least. She listened intently to the older goblins words. Curious, she could understand him despite everything, but what was odd about that? She was a goblin and she should be able to understand him, after all. She followed him outside of the cave silently as she usually would be from now on, laying eyes on the forest outside for the first time. Iron wood forest. That was her home...the goblins home, that is.

As he went to explain where the others had went, a small smile crept across Silana's features. This was so...exciting, wasn't it? She was extremely curious as to what this forest...this, Ironwood had in store for her. Plus, her siblings as well! She was curious to meet them. She wondered what they were like.

"Silana." She said, turning her head to Kichi. "Meeting my siblings sounds like fun."

Kichi gave a slight nod in reply. Good, so this one seemed to be as quick to pick up on everything as the others had. For a brief moment, the clan chief's eyes lit up slightly, a sort of immaterial pressure pushing out from them before fading an instant later. It seemed that this one had a Gift as well, curious. Strictly speaking, there was nothing to say a generation of Goblins, all of them having Gifts, was impossible, but he couldn't help but question what sort of cause laid at the root of this.

"Very well, then. You'll be shown around this forest at a later time, but for now it's for the best that you get the chance to know your siblings." He stated simply, moving to exit the cavern without another word. "Truth be told, my experience with the humans isn't as great as my son's, but it should still be fairly simple to find where they've gone off to. Come, follow me. If you feel any disorientation from your body, though, let me know and we will wait for that to subside."

"Very well." Silana nodded, electing not to say anything as Kichi led her out of the cave.

What had...he just done? Some sort of pressure or something - he seemed to be looking at her fairly intently or some reason. Pervert? Was something wrong, perhaps? Maybe she should have asked to stay around the forest instead? Well, it didn't matter. Meeting her siblings would be much more fun anyways. For the most part though she remained silent. She felt fine, more or less - though she did feel awfully small compared to the older goblin. Would she get taller once she got older or something? Being short forever would be annoying.

For the most part, unless Kichi asked something she would continue following in silence. It would likely become increasingly clear she wasn't going to be much of a talker.

Evidently, Kichi wasn't much of a talker when not being asked questions either, so the net result between the two wound up being a very silent walk out of the forest, and towards a settlement that was presumably the aforementioned space of the humans, a notion made all the more reasonable by the strange pink-skinned certainly-not-goblin things stationed out in front of the settlement. A few words in an unfamiliar language were exchanged between Kichi and the humans at the city gate. Presumably this had something to do with figuring out where in the city the others had gone off to. Without warning, Silana felt a momentary sting on her skin, albeit one that faded just as quickly as it appeared, before the not-goblin-things granted herself and her clan elder access to the city.

As had been mentioned during the other's group escapade through the city, the sight was one a touch overwhelming to a newly-conscious goblin. Countless people, countless sounds, countless scents. The only real difference worth mentioning was that, rather than being greeted enthusiastically as Sabu had been, the civilians seemed to grant Kichi something of a wide berth, few calling out to him as he walked the streets. Evidently, he carried quite a different reputation among the humans compared to his son.

Regardless, the walk through the city went without issue, and before long the Bugbear and goblin had arrived outside of a small wooden building. "Given what the humans said Sabu had mentioned, they're likely in here with...that one."

The human city absolutely fascinated Silana. Overwhelming as it was, she absolutely loved it. She watched the humans with her usual passive gaze, studying them. How did she know they were humans? Well, Kichi said they were going to a human settlement. It was quite a logical conclusion, since they most certainly weren't goblins. She had to wonder why they were staying away from Kichi, though. Were they scared for some reason? That seemed appropriate, so she didn't entirely know why. Perhaps Kichi was just that powerful? She didn't get long to muse on it, though. Silana tilted her head to the side in a curious fashion. She felt somewhat nervous, though it didn't display on her face.

Well, no sense in wasting time or hesitating. That'd be silly.

Without a word, Silana walked into the building, ready to greet her siblings.

The Prophecy

@Odin

Dominion over basically everything relating to Death was going to be her entire sphere of influence, along with having a cult of necromancers.

Death, Undeath, Secrets, and Souls. Splitting it would sort of...break her entire Dominion and character, I feel and I'd rather not.

So go ahead, I'll give it to you. I'm not really in the mood for a lengthy discussion about it.

that said...I'm also not to keen to putting another three/four hours into thinking up a different CS, but We'll see I suppose.

The Prophecy

...well.

Someone literally just apped something I said was gonna make earlier in the thread. NO goddess of undeath for me.

Back to the drawing board I suppose.

Apotheosis

@Holy Grail

I'm here!

Currently in a collab with the GM to get Sil caught up with you guys.
