Current Just because you "fight a good fight" doesn't mean you didn't do horrible things.

I'm sorry for anyone who was waiting for me. Some real life stuff happened, but for now things seem calm. I'll try to post in my RP's ASAP.

With her wounds mended Parum moved closer towards the others, who in the midst of this chaotic flurry were trying their best to cut down the stirges. One by one the bugs fell, and Parum had a renewed sense of hope that they might actually survive this encounter, however seeing Brannor miss his strike made Parum move over to assist. Hidden by the vast swarms of bats and Brannor's own hulking armored form, Parum's steel blade lashed out to skewer the stirge before it could fly out of her reach, slicing down it's body to ensure that it doesn't survive. She could barely hear Kyra call out for them, but what she was saying, Parum wasn't too sure. It was a good thing she didn't try to use her Vicious Mockeries, they might've gone completely unheard in this cacophony.


Yukari Yozakura


Yukari could only sit in sullen silence as she wiped away her tears and listened to Dulga and Kaida try to encourage her. Kaida made it clear that Jett was struggling against Yukari, though Yukari still couldn't find satisfaction from that since she was struggling against Jett. Granted Kaida also wasn't wrong that compared to everyone else, Jett was more skilled and experienced in fighting, and even then Yukari still gave him a run for his money. But she still just couldn't shake off the feeling that she could have done more. Still... Yukari could at least be happy to know it wasn't a total curbstomp. Even if that's how she felt it was. She turned towards Kaida after she had said her part butalso noticed Mina and Ruby coming in. Yukari could smell them from here. Kaida started to stammer and seem more reluctant since those two came in and it made Yukari wonder what was wrong. She reached out to touch Kaida's hand.

"You and me are in the same boat then, huh? We're both inexperienced but faced bad guys who were our exact weakness. I just... I just wished that I could've been better. Maybe figure out a trick or something clever to have snatched a win at the last moment." When Kaida talked about jett and Roy, Yukari looked sad. "I'll admit I... I let my emotions get the better of me that moment. I don't know why I did it I was just angry. Honestly Jett... I've never heard Jett act like that before. He always seemed so supportive and kind. Hearing him say that sort of thing to Roy after everything we've been through, it hurt me personally. I want to be able to go to him for support but if he's the type of person who'd say that sort of thing, it makes me afraid of... Of what he might say to me if I found myself in Roy's place." She sighed again and sunk into her seat, her body easily conforming to her seat. "Assuming that Jett isn't just being nice to me because I'm a girl. I already don't like people thinking I'm weak because I'm blind, knowing they're going easy on me just because I'm a girl is adding insult to injury."

Dulga on the other hand didn't pull her punches and said that Yukari was being pathetic. She wasn't sure if she should feel angry or just more sad, though to be fair Yukari wasn't really trying to make herself feel better either. Dulga certainly doesn't seem the type to want to lie just to make anyone feel better about themselves. Though Yukari didn't agree that she was trying to blame anyone.

"I'm not blaming anyone or anything, Tatara-san. I... I know I could've done better. That I could have been more active and maybe I could have even won if I had just worked harder. I don't blame anyone else for being able to do more than me... Just myself." What Dulga said next confused Yukari, but at the same time gave her a bit of hope. Yukari did have a lot of self-doubt and there were many times she felt completely helpless. She hated this, hated that part of her. Everyone always gave her encouragement which was nice, but it only made it hurt more when Yukari notices her failures and people just to cover it up. It felt dishonest. But Dulga was willing to look at her faults as long as Yukari wanted to improve. Yukari almost felt like crying again but stopped herself. "Of course I want to be better. I just... I just can't do it by myself. I don't have that sort of talent. I'm not like some people who could just isolate themselves in a dojo for years and grow stronger by constantly training. Practicing the same thing over and over again, working out every single detail until it becomes a science... I came to Komei to get away from that."

What came next surprised Yukari. Dulga wanted Yukari and Kaida to come with Dulga to her home in Hokkaido. But Yukari had her doubts. "Hokkaido, isn't that towards the north? It's very cold up there... I'm not really good in the cold. And it sounds really shounen." But then the girl cracked a smile. While it seemed stereotypical, it wasn't a bad idea. Just a little bit silly. But if Dulga knew what she was doing, and if everyone worked hard, and maybe they had a teacher or two to make sure things don't take a turn for the worse, it was an idea that Yukari could get behind. "Well I think it's a good idea. But are we really going to take everyone? How would we get there? I don't know any trains that go that far north."

Even as Parum tried to be subtle, it wasn't enough to not awaken the swarm of bats. Parum had to supress a surprised yell as she protected her face from the swarm and tried to shoo them away with her sword. But it was while she was distracted trying to fend away the bats that she was stabbed in the shoulder by a long, rapier like stinger. These blood sucking creatures stabbed her and drained vital lifeblood from her body. In a moment of panic Parum swiped her rapier through what she thought was the neck of the beast while trying to mend the fresh wound that was on her body now. She wished she knew how the others were holding up however in this thick fog of bats, the only way she'd find them is if she stumbled towards them. So that's what she did; she'd go looking for the others by the sound of combat, trying her best to stick together.

Bypassing the mushrooms the party found themselves in a new predicament; a ceiling full of cave bats. While bats alone aren’t an issue, an entire agitated swarm of them could spell trouble even for their harden warriors. ”Lets just sneak pass here... Please?” Parum said quietly as she tried to sneak around the area as quietly as she could, her rapier our in preparation for the worse case scenario. This situations tend to lean that way.

Sorry for a lack of replies, my past few days have been spent celebrating the holidays with my family. I’ll try to have a post up tonight for Parum and her stealth check.

Yukari Yozakura


When Mako showed up Yukari clenched her fists tightly. She was actually annoyed that the teacher was here as Yukari wanted to vent too. She was tired of being sidelined all the time. She didn’t want to just be some secondrate act. But she also knew she couldn’t just explode right here as much as she wanted to. There was a time and place and she knew better. But she still wanted to, so all she did was spit on the floor in disgust and followed Kaida out.

Anger was on Yukari’s mind as they walked away. Just angry at everything. Angry at herself, and the other students, at villains, and a bunch of other people who doesn’t directly have anything to do with what just happened. Yukari had always had to just keep a stiff upper lip and ignore her own pain and anger, so hearing about that fight, what Jett said, and how Roy reacted, it made Yukari just want to throw away her patience and vent too. She wasn’t sure how long she could keep pretending g everything was fine. When Dulga say her and Kaida down and asked how they were Yukari held nothing back.

”Feels like I’m just a goddamn clown here for everyone else’s amusement. That everything I’ve done amounted to nothing because either it never mattered in the end or someone else does it better. Like I’m just some second fiddle meant to hype up those other motherfuckers and I’m somehow supposed to be happy I even got a part.” Yukari spat out with vitriol and spite. In her anger she slammed her fists against the table and wanted to lash out, but all she could do was snap off a piece of wood from the surface. ”Those idiots playing some dumbass game of misery poker! Like hell it matters who suffered more! I didn’t come here to share sob stories and wallow in how shit life is! I came here to be a hero. So that people stop looking at me like I’m some poor blind girl who needs help and saving.” As she shouted Yukari’s eyes began to tear up. While she said these things she knew she was failing.

”After waking up from the hospital I wanted to use that opportunity to be better. Know where I stood and improve. But dammit… All I can see is that in leagues behind everyone! Jett beat me with household chemicals without even using his quirk! None of us could do anything against Amane before the principle had to step in, and he was going easy! I couldn’t even handle a couple of pickpockets before I got caught up by some crazy samurai who tore out a part of my leg.”

Slowly Yukari started to calm down as she let go of the table and just laid her head down. She knew in the back of her mind the things that she was crying about was her fault too. Because she really was weak and she’s just been lying to herself otherwise. She was so used to being the star attraction at the circus, she was a big fish in a small pond. Now at Komei her speed, agility, and uncanny precision couldn’t even overwhelm a regular physical ability, and that’s before any quirks came into play. And all of Yukari’s weaknesses seemed to only have gotten worse since she got here. ”It’s all backwards… Seems like I’ve only gotten worse since I’ve come to Komei…”

With the last kobold cut down Parum calmed down and looked for more threats. So far doesn't seem like there were any more kobolds, but she was worried if more had ran off to find help. She definitely knew that they had patrols now so everyone needed to be on guard. The kobolds might get the drop on them next time, and Parum wasn't eager to find out what sort of traps they have ready in wait for intruders. She looked around and investigated the area for any more traps or ambushes, not finding much until Brannor pointed out the loose step at the bottom of the stairs and the well-traveled path on the left side. Putting two and two together, she figured what this might've been.

"Mushrooms on the right must be poisonous. Kobolds might be growing them knowing which way is safe, but others won't know. If they spot the kobold trail they might think to go the other way believing it'll be safer with less chances of running into patrols, only to get infected by these strange mushrooms." This was mostly a guess, but she knew that mushrooms and their spores are often the source of some deadly diseases. It wouldn't be a surprise for these wily beasts to exploit that. "Watch out for that last step, I'm sure it's rigged in some way to make a noise or make you go into the poisonous mushrooms." Parum wished she knew some way to disable traps, but alas that wasn't something she learned in bard's college. She waited by the stairs to see who would go first, trying her best to remain hidden as she had before.

I have the information you glean from your investigation at hand. I'm just going to need a Perception check to go with that Investigation before I hand them over.

<Snipped quote by The Harbinger of Ferocity>
Perception sounds right to me. What happens with Parum may however affect it.


Sometimes I wonder why I dumped Wisdom, but I have a 13

If we head towards the mushrooms. Anything around there like in the mushrooms, at the bottom of the steps, or even the steps themselves. Kobolds are tricky creatures and I wouldn’t be surprised if they took advantage of their flying ability to avoid ground based traps like trip wires or pressure plates.
