Current I just can't. This is too much. Berserk was so influential on so many things that I love. Goodbye, Miura. You'll be missed by many.

Bio



Hello! Welcome to my little bio.

Not much to say, really. Just a horror game protag that likes writing and playing vidya games when I'm not being chased by the cosmic forces of darkness. (I'm a security guard that works night shifts usually).

Have some dancing medjed.

Thankfully, it seemed like Himeko was good with that blade as she said she was.

The Wraiths didn't stand a chance. Himeko danced through them as though she were the wind itself. The wraiths did as they were commanded, but it was a fruitless task. The wraiths' claws met nothing but air as they tried to strike the Tengu, only to be slice in two by her blade; Disappearing back into nothingness moments later. Charlotte merely watched as Himeko made quick work of the poor things, and in mere moments they had completely vanished back into nothing.

"...remind me never to piss you off." Charlotte commented, only to have a certain tiny blue fox come up to her and nudge her ankles. "Ah...this thing...what do you want?"

"Are you two alright? I sensed heavy spiritual activity from this area, and I ran into a friend of Odettes,"Livia's voice greeted them before they could do anything else, the younger Fiore giving them a mildly interested look. "And I see you've met Ren too." She looked towards the small blue thing. "What happened, exactly?"

"That ghost friend of yours seems...unwell." Charlotte sighed, ignoring the small spirit staring up at her. With a small pout, it walked back over to Himeko and gave her leg a small nudge. The thing was cool to the touch, and not at all hostile, the blue flames coming from its body not at all like one might expect.

"Unwell...? How so?" Alarm crossed Livia's face before settling on a more serious, questioning glare.
Alright, I'll hopefully be gettin' a post up tomorrow.
"...Livia?" She continued looking towards the ground as a small shiver seemed to go up the girls body. "...right...friend...S-shouldn't be here. You should l-leave." Charlotte narrowed her eyes at the girl. Something was wrong here, she could tell simply from the way the girl was behaving. She wasn't sure of what exactly, but something was obviously out of place here.

"...Odette, was it?" Charlotte carefully began. "Why should we leave? Livia said she comes here often, so I don't believe this place to be that dangerous."

"Mhm-Nnnggh!" The ghost, Odette, held a hand to her chest, a somewhat pained, displeased grimace spread across her face. Inky, black, veins appeared on her neck and face and It was easy to see she was in no small amount of pain. "I-I'm sorry...H-have to obey..." Before either Himeko or Charlotte could react, several wisps of blue flame appeared from seemingly nowhere before macabre, surrounding the entire area between Odette and the two of them. Not seconds later, Skeletal creatures emerged from them.



The creatures were ultimately legless, and seemed to be made entirely of some sort of odd bluish-purple fire and wreathed in black smoke. With an overall skeletal appearance, they weren't exactly pleasant to look at. In the midst of them appearing, Odette seemed to disappear entirely. They immediately locked onto Charlotte and Himeko.

"What-!" Charlotte jumped back, grimacing at the development. "Well...this could have gone better." She frowned. "Can that sword of yours whack ghosts?" She shouted to Himeko as her hands ran over the inside of her cloak, finding a few vials that might help here, though she couldn't be sure.
"Hmm, blue petals..." Charlotte tilted her head to the side, running a hand over the stalk of the flower. It certainly was something that was odd. Nothing she had seen yet, at least. Small petals, with a dark green center towards the stamen and pistil of the flower. Shaped like a bell, almost. Some sort of Tulip? Well, she'd take a sample then - "Weh!"

Charlotte protested mildly as she was pulled away from the flower.

"Himeko I was in the middle of research!" She grumbled as she was pulled along. "That's a flower I've never seen before I need to document it." Besides, following a ghost fox seemed to have bad idea written all over it...though not that she could really say no to Himeko in this situation, they had agreed to it after all. So they ended up following the tiny blue fox, the small spirit leading them through the gravestones and deeper into the graveyard until they came to a large clearing of sorts in front of a large, stone pillar that was at least three stories tall. It was covered in moss and vines, with old runes and words craved into it.

In front of it, stood a girl.



Long, elbow length gloves adorned her arms, and her hair was blond and long, hanging freely down to her waist as a purple bow kept her bangs free of her eyes. She was dressed in a long black and red diamond pattered dress, with stockings and heels. The tiny fox ran up to her, poking at her legs to get her attention before running off again as she turned to face Himeko and Charlotte.

"....?"

She gazed at them silently, bright blue eyes studying Himeko and Charlotte for a few seconds before she gazed to the ground.

"....intruders?..."

Her words were quiet, and barely audible. It was difficult to tell from her impassive glance, but she seemed a little frightened.
Avaline, Sorcha, & Cocoa



Avaline poked her head into the door of their home. Oh, there were two new people here. A cow and a human from the smell of them. She slithered into the room, doing her best to not crowd the small dorm too much. It really was getting rather crowded in here, wasn't it? She couldn't even stretch her body out completely. Still, she couldn't appear to be bothered by it! So the Wyrm found a mostly unoccupied corner of the room, and coiled herself up in it.

Cocoa for the most part, let Otille do the talking. She was too busy holding the hand Otille had grabbed to her face.

Sorcha stood, yawning again. A student wanted to see her about something? Odd. Livia showed her the way here, too. Even more odd. Well she would help since it was a request from Livia, but she wasn't entirely sure what exactly she could do. Sorcha walked over to Otille, giving her a neutral, though not hostile expression as she studied the young girl in front of her but ultimately said nothing and let Otille speak.

Treasure of some sort? Oh, so Otille wanted her to appraise it. Well, now, she could certainly do that. Cocoa confidently handed over one of the bags, in her usual slightly ditzy manner. Sorcha grabbed the bag, opening it eagerly.

"Oh wow..." She finally spoke. "This is quite something." She pulled a few pieces of treasure out of the bag, studying them. "Golden chalices...jewel encrusted crowns and even a few decorative blades." For a few moments, the dragon seemed utterly impressed. "This is quite a bit I'll have to go through so-" She pulled out a crown from the bag, and her eyes widened.

...

"...where did you say you found this?" Sorcha's tone took a curious tone as she looked back at Otille. "You...wouldn't have happened to find this in an old, ruined village of some sort would you have? A large cave, even with a large stone monument inside of it?"

Livia & Cynthia



As Mugi skated off to find Cynthia and the rest of the maids, that left Fia and Livia alone again for a few moments. The headmistress frowned slightly, thinking of a good response to her question.

"Well, Fia," She began. "It is true that is what servants are for. They are there to serve and take care of you, but you should not rely on them all the time. Learn and do things for yourself. Life is not always comfortable, and someday you may find yourself without a servant to aid you. To put bluntly - you should not become complacent, or believe yourself to be entitled to such luxuries. If you want to be pampered, then do something that makes you worthy of it." She'd speak of the details later once Fia chose whichever maid she wanted.

Mugi found Cynthia quite easily, cleaning the floor in the hallway outside of Livia's study. Cynthia blushed heavily at the kiss she received, but said nothing other than give the Ice-woman a curious look. Livia wanted to round up all the maids? Hm, she had to wonder what was going on. Well, no since in wondering about it. Cynthia grabbed Mugi's hand and pulled her too the foyer.

By the time they had arrived, the rest of the maids had lined up against the far wall, some chattering to the other maids and a few more than curious as to what exactly was going on. When Cynthia walked into the room, they all hushed quickly though.

"Here we are then...Fia, if you see a maid you like, then I will assign that one as your personal caretaker."

Cynthia stood close to Mugi, doing her best to ignore the maid outfit she was wearing.

Chione



"Ah...you have my thanks, Katherine." Chione replied. It wasn't exactly perfect, but it'd certainly do for now. "And certainly, I wouldn't mind helping out around the house a bit if you wouldn't mind but-" Before she could finish that thought, a cat person of all things barged into the room and promptly gave Katherine a rather affectionate and improperly indecent display of affection. The egyptian woman's eyes widened, chuckling softly as she glanced away from the two of them and suddenly finding the opposite corner of the room very interesting.

She let Katherine handle that in whatever manner she would decide. Not her place to judge, that was her fathers duty after all. She just helped and healed people. Whenever that was finally done, Chione cleared her throat, fidgeting with a loose strand of her long, black hair before replying.

"Ahem, yes, yes. Measurements then." Chione began to disrobe, the light, airy garment easily being pulled off.

Celine & Marie



Marie fell, unable to keep her footing as Kozue tripped her.

"Gah!"

Suddenly, she found herself pinned under Kozue. The demon glared up at the human, grimacing and doing her best to struggle out from under the human, but ultimately failing to do so. Ugh, damn it all! How could she lose so easily? To a human of all things! Bah, if word of even this minor scuffle made its way back home she'd be nothing more than a laughing stock!

More than she already was

...She grit her teeth, but said nothing to the human.
"Fox creatures? We have arctic foxes in Astril, but they're just simple animals." Charlotte replied. Kitsune? She hadn't a clue. Charlotte noticed the thing shortly after Himeko, frowning a bit. That definitely wasn't a normal fox. If she had to guess...made of fire of some sort? It seemed to have fire 'essence' as a part of it. The fox in question merely tilted its head curiously as it was addressed, saying nothing.

Charlotte took a quick look around the area, trying to find anything else out of the ordinary. Specifically the plants in the area. For the most part they didn't look to be anything too different than she had already seen or was used too. She walked some distance away, a small blue flower growing near a few gravestones catching her attention.

"Huh...well look at you..." She quietly commented, running a hand over the flowers. Now this was odd - they certainly weren't like any of the ones growing in Astril.

The small fox, no bigger than the size of Himeko's hand paced back and forth atop the grave for a few seconds, before hopping off and heading off into one direction, taking only a moment to look back at the Tengu before dashing off again.
And things have been done, and the main plot has been moved forward~

Opera Night

~@The Irish Tree @Eviledd1984(NEP) (MAR)~



"Hehe, don't worry about it. I practically wrote the whole thing myself! sorta. So don't worry about it. You guys seem like pro adventurers so there's nothing to worry about. Just you know, do what'd come naturally and all." Christine, as usual, was exuberant as she ever seemed. Before Nephele or Maria could respond however, there was a large crash from what sounded like the foyer, like the sound of something shattering.

"Huh?" Christine turned her head towards the door of her room, a frown crossing her face. "What...?" There was a hint of worry in her voice. Whatever had fallen and shattered didn't sound like it was a simple plate or something. It sounded heavy. "H-hey, we should go see what that was." She made her way towards the door, and quickly made her way down the hallway. Nephele and Maria would only have a few moments to stop her.

Regardless, Christine wouldn't be stopped for long. She seemed almost too intent to find out what had happened.

As soon as the trio made their way back to the foyer, Christine poked her head over the railing of the second floor, and her eyes immediately widened in horror.

"Dad!"

Gerald was splayed out over the floor, right under the chandelier. A decorative marble pedestal was laying across his back, a bust of some sort laying on the ground a few feet away. Before anyone could stop her, Christine dashed down the stairs and to his side.

Outside, the sun started to drift below the forested horizon. Had it been that long?

~Arletta Dupain~

@PaulHaynek@The Irish Tree



"Ah...cooking?" Arletta chuckled, nervously looking off to the side. Ooh, one of the few things she was consistently rather terrible at through the years. She really didn't want to throw Magnus under the bus, but if she touched any cookware, something was catching on fire. Oh, and Magnus probably would feel more comfortable doing this anyways. "W-well, I'll show Talia around and introduce her to any other members around. I need to introduce myself to a few of them as well after my brief time away from the guild."

She gave Talia a friendly smile before swiftly exiting the kitchen and leaving Magnus there with Neil.
@The Irish Tree

It's cool! I just didn't want to go ahead if you were going to be posting later today. I'll get something up, then.
"Right..." Charlotte followed Himeko, unable to shake the feeling of them being watched. She rubbed the back of her neck, uneasily looking around the place. She had no idea how Himeko or Livia felt comfortable in this place. This place just seemed...wrong. Or at least, just off. but then, she was a human. Just a normal human. If something decided to attack her and she wasn't prepared...well, chances of something going horribly wrong were high.

For the most part, she stuck close to Himeko. As for the graveyard itself - as Livia said, it was eerily silent. Far too much so. Just a gentle, cool breeze and not even the chirping of insects or birds. As they walked though, Himeko would become increasingly aware of a tiny blue fox like creature observing them from atop a large stone grave. Except, it didn't have fur and seemed to be made out of some sort of ethereal blue-flame.
