They say it's about the journey, not the destination. This is true of many things. Pizza delivery is not one of them.

TFW you know what you want to happen but the words aren't cooperating. Why is plot suddenly so much harder to write?

So ded. Cannot brain. Just one massive poorly coordinated and balance-lacking headache. But don't send help. I don't want to people either. X.x

Glad to see I'm not the only follower of Lord Cato, god of wisdom, on this most auspicious Superb Owl Sunday.

Bio

I am an adult, though I don't usually act like it. I'm a voracious reader, and not overly picky about books. I am artistic in a variety of areas, including music, drawing, writing, and sculpting. I have a minor obsession with dragons, and love the color violet. Fantasy is my preferred genre, be it past, future, urban...as long as it has a fantasy flavor to it. I also like scifi, mystery, and some horror. I am crazy, and I like tormenting my characters. But I don't bite...much. ^.~

@KaiserElectric Sorry to hear that, Kaiser. Take care!

Everyone else, this is the next post on my to-do list, when my brain cooperates!


Elian Zefra
LOCALE // near dungeon entrance
TIME // early afternoon



"I'm the dedicated healer, so while I'll be keeping an eye on all of you, my focus is our tanks. Two teams supporting each other sounds good to me, sure. But don't think I didn't miss that, Gearhead. You and all the ladies? As if." Elian rolled her eyes with a grin. "And no offense, Rael, but while I'm sure you're a fine damage dealer, I've not worked with you before. I'm a finesse build; that means dodging's my game, and any healing I do centered on myself if I /do/ take damage won't help those farther away. The ranged team has Ebon, Tiferet, and Landon, and I have ranged spells and a way to fall back if needed. For now, I mean to stick with the tanks." She shrugged apologetically. "I've always been just a little better at close range instead of way in the rear. I trust these four to watch my back." She waved a closed fan at the melee team. "And I know how to keep out of the way. I've worked with y'all before, we'll be good." She was sure she'd be fine, and she expected the frontliners to know enough about teamwork to support each other.

Besides, someone has to keep Graves from killing the rest of them. Not that I think he really would, but I'm the one that knows him best of those present. If something really is bothering him enough that he's off his game, I'll pick up on it first -- and hopefully be able to help.

"If everyone's ready, shall we~?"
"I'll post when I'm back," she said.
"Vacation will be good for me," she said.

Well it was, but I also got sick. Sinus pressure means I can't brain. 'm here, just...half coherent.
Amuné looked up at Ethan, still in tears. "I said I'd learn and Taliya didn't care," she wept. She managed to give him a weak and very wavery smile when she felt his hand in her hair. She wiped the worst of the tears from her face before pulling his wrist down so she could press her cheek into his palm. "Promise you'll help me practice?" she begged. "He scares me and I don't wanna have to practice with him." She spoke softer this time, trying not to let Gage hear. Ethan's agreement reassured her and she took a deep breath, trying to gather her courage. "O-okay. I'll try. I /am/ a good learner, Mommy and Daddy both say so." She sniffled and gave her friend a hug. "I guess I hafta go now...but we can talk later, sure."

Except she didn't quite yet, because Nymira wanted to talk now. Of course the bossy princess would do that now instead of later. "I still have to find my parents. Ethan...you promised you'd help, right? I guess I can wait a while if you need some time now that you know about Cedric...." The girl hadn't really lost anyone she knew well, though she'd encountered death before. People who'd lost someone they cared about needed time, and she was trying to be considerate of that, even if she lacked the knowledge of how to go about it well.

"And...I wanna help Cecil find his answers too." Amuné looked down at her feet, only glancing up at the Machina through her lashes. She wished she was as brave as he was, or as strong. Maybe if she practiced /really/ hard she could be...even if she didn't really want to fight. Violence was wrong, and killing was bad, but her daddy had also said that sometimes you didn't have a choice. That was one reason the Ydrans trained moorcats like Wyth to work with their guards and hunters. "After that...I don't know. My family can't go back to Pinesgrove, not after what happened. I thought maybe we might live here, but that's up to Mommy and Daddy. ...You'll all visit, right?" She directed the question mostly at Ethan and Cecil. "And Taliya said maybe she might find someone that can help me learn about my magic, so that's another reason to come back." The girl paused. "I Saw you fighting that big thing -- the rokorm. And then Taliya showed me a book that she said Cedric wrote, and I managed to use that to See again...but it didn't really work as well as I'd hoped." Her brows drew together at the memory of the other things she'd glimpsed. "But it's something, right?"
@Kessir Tarkin I blame the sinus infection. Oh wait you mean to you. *shot*
@Kessir Tarkin Buh? I mean, it's just a sinus infection, most likely. I'm more worried about Oscar. o.o
@MegaOscarPwn Oh dear! I'll be thinking about you. *snugs*
@Kessir Tarkin Not necessarily that specific one, but it is a good precedent. Or did you mean that specific one, @ayzrules?
And for what it's worth, she did propose solutions to the problems, he's were just more sensible and less restricted. Nor is she the sort not to point out a problem if she chooses to give tactical advice. She'll have proposed ideas shortly, and request the information they need. She's a quick study. Hope everyone else is too~
@Bright_Ops Belasy can! But /will/ she?! Not quite fluent, but she'll improve rapidly. She's rusty.
