Shattered Fates - A Dark Fantasy, Boss Battling Epic

Alright, kinda a small post but had to react to that hound.

Shattered Fates - A Dark Fantasy, Boss Battling Epic

~Isabella~

---

Isabella was ready to use her own weapon to defend herself from the corrupt hound as it leapt at her. Thankfully, it seemed like at least one of them could do there goddamn jobs. That left just one of them left - she could probably at least easily take care of it. And by taking care of it, she meant avoiding it completely. The redhead made an attempt to leap to the side, holding her sword in front of her where the hound was - if it did hit her, at least perhaps she could mitigate the damage somewhat.

"Geh, you don't have an impossibly impractical weapon!" Isabella rebutted with a scoff towards Aiv. He was right, though. Thrusts and vertical swings would likely be her best friend for now. At least until she could get a better handle on the damn thing. In fact - a rather neat idea came to her. She needed to see if it could be done - as bunched up as they were they it could help immensely if it could work. There was also the risk of tiring herself out completely, but, well, such was the nature of practicing something. Really, the conditions were as probably as favorable as they were going to be.

@RyuShura

Ah, just to be clear before I finish up my post, is one of those hounds still alive and going for Isabella? Looks like the bow only took care of one of them in your post - just want to make sure before I mess something up~

~Miren~

Miren and Eith moved through the crowd, tasting various different foods of different areas of the world as they moved along. The Headmistress really outdid herself this time, didn't she? There were just so many things to choose from! And it looked like at least, Eith was enjoying herself too. They had played a few simple games, though didn't particularly achieve anything spectacular with them. Ah, she should come to these things more often shouldn't she? The noises hurt her ears a bit but she always had fun with this stuff.

Except....

There was a sudden commotion from near the center.

"Hello, everyone!~"

"E-erm? What is..." Miren turned her head to the source of the voice. Whoever it was, was speaking loudly, likely using to use some sort of magic to carry their voice across the entire central area. The person in question was standing atop a large stand...and seemed to be quite inhuman in nature. She had white hair, amber colored eyes. Two white horns jutted from her forehead, large bat like wings extended from her back and she was dressed in very risque clothing.

Inhuman person

"You may call me Lucifer! I'd say it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance you ignorant humans but I'd be lying~! And before you imbeciles say anything, yes, yes it is I. Evil scary demon and all~" She giggled. "You may be wondering what I'm doing here, and well, don't worry. I'm not after your delicious little souls. No, I'm after something a little tastier and a bit more tangible. I've heard tell of some delicious treats being made here...and I'll be taking all of them!~"

As expected, there was a sense of disbelief that hung in the air.

"Now now, don't give me all of that. What? Don't believe me? What, expect me to have goat hooves and be all spooky scary? I mean, I could get my dad in here if you want but he's a bit of a grump and all that. Anyways, fun fact - When I came here I may have also left a portal open to the underworld and some undead may have seeped through along with two of my servants...so have fun with that! I'm off to steal your candy now, buh-bye~!"

In the blink of an eye the woman was gone.

...what...had just happened? There was a scream from somewhere not far as a group of people started running.

"I-It's a zombie! Run!"

Miren's heart felt like it skipped a beat. Zombie? Undead? Oh dear oh dear oh dear this was not fun. What happened?

~Gwynn & Ritsa~

Gwynn couldn't help but to show off a little as Fia started to get the hang of the ice. She was going much faster than probably what would be considered safe. She jumped, twirling rather gracefully in the air and landing with a single leg on the ground, continuing swerving and pulling off more complicated maneuvers before skating back towards Fia, coming to a complete halt almost instantly next to the girl.

"Come on, Fia." Gwynn said. "Practice makes perfect!" Ritsa gave the redhead a light shove, giggling lightly.

~Sorcha~

Sorcha couldn't help but to laugh loudly at the kittens antics. Marie was such a pleasure as she always had been. She wasn't particularly fond of the girls origins but one couldn't chose their parents or ancestry - and the girl was pleasant and perfectly friendly save for a few quirks. Perhaps seeing Marie would be good for the kitten? A thought for another time perhaps. Something much more important had just happened - It was a sight to be sure, to see Luna win. The dragon had no doubts of course that her chosen knight could easily thwart any competition.

The dragon stood at the front of the box, cheering with everyone else now that the competition had been over with.

"Thank you all for coming out here today! There will be a grand feast for all the participants at a very fun tavern. Marie can give you directions if you have need of them, but for now the competition has come to a close!~" There was another cheer from the crowd as the festivities came to a close. Sorcha turned away from the crowd, and towards Maoin who was still acting all embarrased. "Escort Luna up here, hm? Feel free to find Marie after this if you want, heh~" The dragon chuckled.

As soon as Luna would make her way up to the VIP box, she'd be met with a very empty room - save for a large box that had a piece of paper on it that said 'Open Me' on it. As soon as Luna would open the box's lid, there would be a spray of confetti as - but...it was empty? Completely empty. Before Luna could say or ponder it though, she was swiftly hugged from behind, the dragon laughing lightly.

"Gotcha!~" She laughed. "Dragon has claimed her prize, contest over and now dragon will drag brave knight back home~"

~Cynthia~

Cynthia and Mugi hadn't really moved from their spot for the duration of the festival for now. Cynthia was just happy to be near the Yuki-Onna, just enjoying her company and eating these sweets she had prepared earlier. It was heaven, really. So nice to just enjoy another persons company like this. Such a rare, happy occasion.

"Bwahaha, mine!~"

Suddenly the box of sweets she was eating was snatched form her lap, along with the one she was just about to eat herself. The culprit in question, was either a very odd demon or very oddly dressed human.

Totally not Ayumi

"Sorry ladies, these sweets now belong to the pumpkin lord!~ Ta-ta lovelies!~" The thing wearing a pumpkin for a head dashed off again. Cynthia simply sat there, staring at the empty space where her sweets had just been. No, she wasn't upset they were stolen from her...but they had been for Mugi.

"Get back here you masochistic pumpkin!" Before Mugi could question what was even happening herself, Cynthia bolted after the pumpkin headed person.

~Livia~

"Ah, excellent. I am sure they would love to meet you, Richard." Livia replied friendly...until a commotion was heard from the center of the town.

She'd...She'd recognize that voice anywhere! Viatrix! What in the name of the demon lords was she doing?! This was not why she agreed to this thing...though she supposed she shouldn't have expected anything different. Livia sighed, a small smile forming on her lips. "Well...seems someones gone and decided to play a prank." Well, not her problem for now. She was sure it'd sort itself out eventually. If not, well, she'd just have to teach them all a very harsh lesson. "Follow me to my Villa, will you? The first of the guests will likely be arriving soon."

~Marie~

Boy, that was fun! It was nice seeing funny little humans beat themselves to a pulp for entertainment. Not as great as the coliseum back home, but still! These little mundane knightly matches had been a pleasure to watch. Especially that little lady knight the dragon had her eye on. Still, she should get moving - she had an appointment to keep and well, as utterly important as she was she couldn't be late, nope! Her mom would kill her if she was late. Not that she understood why - she shouldn't have to bend to the whims of these people. She was far too important.

Ah well~

Maybe they'd be entertaining.

To bad she didn't have a cute little kitten accompanying her.

okay I lied.

Running a bit late - I'll get something up tomorrow.

~Gwynn & Ritsa~

"Okay okay, don't hurt yourself." Gwynn chuckled as Ritsa slid over to Fia. The Hydra gave her a big grin, helping her stand up. "Hrm, you don't have any skates though so this might be a little tricky...uh, hm. Augh damn it forgot to stop by the dorm and grab them." She could just give herself skates made of ice herself. For Fia though, it wouldn't exactly be uh, a good thing. "Eh, I'm sure you'll be fine." Without another word, Gwynn walked over to Fia, placing a firm though gentle hand on the girls shoulder. "Alright key thing you need here is balance."

Gwynn went on to demonstrate the proper form to simply gliding easily enough. Ritsa joined in as well, though not as well as Gwynn considering her natural aversion to the ice and simply lack of skill.

~Sorcha~

"Bang! Crash! Crack!" Maire shouted loudly from her pedestal. "Ladies and gents, that was the sound of hard work, sweat, and determination! I wonder if the lady knight wouldn't mind thrusting her lance at me, hah!~" She giggled. "Actually, no, don't do that becasue I'm no good at this stuff. Annnnyways- second match goes to the blond lady knight again! She's doing really well! She's certainly a good one, isn't she? The matches will resume after a small interlude!~"

Sorcha cheered quietly from the stands as Luna won again. She eagerly devoured the food Maoin bought, not paying mind to much else as she did so. It had been awhile since she had some decently cooked lamb, and Maoin certainly did deliver. The next matches proceeded with various level of difficulty. Some were felled in one hit, while others too many more - and quite occasionally did Luna look like she was going to fail herself. In the end though, it was reduced to Luna and just one other Knight.

"Alllllright ladies and gents! Humans and Dragons! Adorable kittens that I want to kiss!~" Maire giggled, giving the box Sorcha was sitting in a bright grin. "The final match is upon us!~ Who will win? I dunno, lets get the final match underway already!~"

~Livia~

"Just a few nobles from the area. Some of the more powerful mages, and few people from the church." Livia replied with a sigh. "Truly, It's likely going to be a boring affair but when you're as popular as I am you have to do these things." She chuckled lightly. "Oh, there will be a few...personal friends there as well, though they shouldn't cause too much trouble." She hoped at least. Myrilla had already been told not to cause a ruckus. Viatrix though? Well...not so much. "I wouldn't want to subject you to such a thing though, so you are free to decline of course." She stopped for a moment, seeming to think for a moment. "I do not know if you've heard or not about the recent discovery of a certain lost City, but one of their diplomats are supposed to be arriving this evening."

@Lord of Evil

Got you covered as far as Rooks go~

@TheHangedMan
What's the piece you're going for, before I get to work on the other Idea I have?

Blue Fog - A Survival and Society Building Game

~Lizaveta Koshkov~

"Whee, food!~" Despite her enthusiasm, food was a necessity for her. Moreso than most humans, really. Considering the fact that the nanobots pretty much gobbled up anything she hate to run themselves and keep her running in the perfect order it always meant she had to always have a bit of food on her. "Hehe, don't worry. Liza is a bit more refined than the scaly alien." She reached into her clothes, pulling out a military issue combat knife and picking up one of the armadillos as she listened to the others speak.

"Liza is fine with me. It's what most of my brothers and sisters called me after I earned my name." She cut into the armadillo with a knife. It wasn't cooked, but it'd should be fine if she ate it. Might get a little stomach ache if there was something bad in the meat, but for the most part it shouldn't be an issue. The cloned listened silently as she cut some meat off the animal, gathering some information from the talkative ones since she hadn't been here for the first part of whatever this was.

A game? If this was a game it was a fairly poor one. Virtual reality wasn't as fun as it sounded, really. It was extremely good for training, though. She pulled a piece of meat off the small animal with her hands, bringing it to her mouth and chewing on it as they continued. Hunger was a very real problem, wasn't it? Especially for civilians. Civilians got crazy if they didn't have their munchies. Unlike trained soldiers they could easily turn on you if they got desperate.

Not the first time she saw it happen on the front lines of some ill conceived war.

"Bwahaa!" Liza chewed on the armadillo meat some more, shoving her knife back into its sheathe. "Wow, someone's a bit too loyal, heh!" She turned her head towards Aleksander with a grin. Seemed like he and her may perhaps be of similar backgrounds, judging from the way he carried himself. Meh, no matter. She wasn't going to associate herself with the empire any more. "Ahh, team meetings like this aren't my thing. Just give me a target and something to shoot, please!" She continued, stopping a moment to take another bite of the armadillo. "Might as well introduce myself again." She picked some more meat off of the deceased creature as she started walking slowly around the group, getting a good look at everyone present.

"I said I was a clone, but It's a bit more complex than that. To put simply I'm an enhanced soldier genetically engineered to well, fight. The template I was cloned form was focused on psionic abilities and aptitudes. I didn't get anything fancy like some of the grav-mods my siblings got, but I did get experimental nanites that can basically keep me alive through anything. Small team operations mostly. I'm the girl they called to quietly clean up their messes and take care of...opposition." The girl twirled on her heels again, digging more meat out of the armadillo. "I don't really care what you guys do as long as I get to shoot something, so lets get this show on the road, so I can pew pew things with my gun."

@PaulHaynek

Oooh~

I certainly wouldn't mind. I have another idea I can use. I'll see if I can get them up sometime later this evening~

They'll either be a Rook or a Knight - most likely a Rook, but we'll see.
