The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Los Paraisos: The Grande Diamond: Pool Room

Lisette resurfaced as quickly as she crashed into the pool, gasping for air and sputtering chemical-y water. Her blonde bangs were flattened over her eyes, and she waved her arms around trying to find the edge of the pool. With one movement, she pushed herself onto the smooth stone floor and clawed her hair away from her face.

"Dylan has a dangerous, dangerous weapon... oh, please get it away from us!"

Lisette's eyes popped open, looking around for the new threat to Mordie. She wasn't thinking straight, she couldn't recall that Dylan had been on her side just seconds ago; the only thing she knew was that Mordie was in danger, and Lisette needed to act, now. She was becoming agitated, both from the powerful need to protect this precious person, while at the same time her mind was a painful, nagging jumble that vaguely knew this wasn't right at all.

Dylan had his back to her, facing Mordie and Lucien and scribbling onto his slate. A spiked shield appeared on his arm, and the sight of it spurred Lisette to pull herself up from the wet floor.

"Don't you dare hurt her...!" Lisette screamed, grabbing Dylan from behind and trying with all of her strength to hold his arms down. While she wasn't completely frail, there was no real technique or power in the attack, and there was a clear desperation in her voice and movements.

You're not the only one Buns, I'm not exactly a wordsmith so I prefer to write in a very straightforward way (I'm terrible with metaphors), and I was initially thrown a bit at first. Also mainly because I was reading it first thing in the morning after 4 hours of sleep and I was basically in zombie mode xD I'm still kind of in zombie mode

That's certainly been kind of a trend with our RP so far, with higher-ranked characters dropping out o3o

I appreciate the slight rewrite Orpheus, and Dellie is a cute nickname >w< Don't be worried about frownieness, I think it's pretty good if the only thing we're really asking for is clarification. ^^ I was kind of a butt and looked at your most recent post in the Midnight Train RP, and I'm not at all concerned about your writing. I approve! [Tae Stamp of Approval™]

I'm going to work on my post now! I'm so glad school's over, I was so mad at my night class professor. He marked my homework incomplete (as I mentioned, we can't pass the class if we have any incomplete assignments, and we need to fix/finish them to get credit) because I missed one or two dollar signs on two financial statements, because I was taught to do them a different way. When I asked him to just tell me the way he prefers them done so I'll learn for the future, he gave me half credit (50%) on the assignment anyway! For dollar signs!

Edit: Lol Rex xD Good luck with your homework!

I got a Lisette post up, I'm too tired to write a decent post for Selan tonight. I'll probably be able to get a post up earlier in the afternoon tomorrow, I'm pretty sure I don't have any homework due before my other night class.

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

I'd like a layman's version as well for clarity's sake, posted here preferably so everyone can weigh in.

I'm super excited to post for Lisette later, haha.

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

@Danni: I interpreted it as, it's exasperating for a person to hold a conversation with him because of his poor social skills. Sort of like, maybe Sai from Naruto?

I think the CS is pretty cool Orpheus, lots of stuff that I've never seen before. I especially like the description of Lute's familiar. And nothing overlaps with any existing characters I don't think, which is obviously a bonus. Some parts confused me a little, but I reread it several times and there's not a whole lot to nitpick as long as he's balanced in terms of skilled he is at Rank G. Depending on the context that the character will be in, perhaps his rank should be a little higher? In my mind, it'd make more sense for a higher-ranked person to have any underworld connections rather than a bottom-rung rookie.

Gotta get ready for school now, just wanted to get that in, haha.

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Metal Slug's a good comparison, I haven't played Borderlands so I can't say.

I went to pet the cat good night and he snuck around me and walked around the kitchen for a minute before going back outside. @_@

Edit: Thanks Pach! Have a good day tomorrow, everyone! I have my icky night class, hopefully it goes by fast x_x

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Finished my posts, they seemed longer in Notepad =.=

Have a great day off Pach! I'm heading to bed within the hour, I was hoping I'd have time after my homework for some Mercenary Kings, oh well. :T

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

As Neil Hunter and Crimson Justice continued to clash in an explosive fist fight, Selan backed away until she reached a wall. She watched fearfully with bated breath, her chest heaving up and down; not a single spot in the room was safe from Neil Hunter's reach. Don had a way of coming through in the end, but Neil wasn't honorable enough to finish a losing battle -- he'd grab her and run if he had to.

"Fine. You want to die? Try it." Neil tossed the wine glass to the floor.
This lunatic wants a fight? He's got one.

The shattering glass captured their attention for nary a second, which was more than enough time for Neil to disappear from sight. Selan's breath caught in her throat, as she saw where he was before Crimson Justice did.

"Above...!"

Neil dropped from the ceiling above Crimson Justice, bringing both of his fists down onto the masked hero's head.

Splinters of wood sprayed across the room as Crimson Justice's body spiraled into and through a table, bouncing across the floor like a skipped stone. He turned his body in mid-air and skidded on his boots, stopping in a crouched position next to the glass.

Neil rubbed at his knuckles, managing to shoot a smug look at Selan before bracing himself for Crimson Justice's imminent counter-attack -- the superhero had already recovered, and leapt forward, his fist squeezed so hard that beneath his gloves his knuckles were turning white.

Los Paraisos: The Grande Diamond: Pool Room

Lisette was more than willing to go rushing at a bear in order to protect Mordie, but luckily Dylan still had the sense to draw up a weapon for her.

Just as the quiver materialized on her back, Lisette reached to take an arrow. Aiming straight at the bear, she grit her teeth and yelled, "This is what happens when you mess with my friend!"

The arrowhead began to glow with a faint green light as she channeled magical energy to strengthen her shot. Lisette meant business.

The first of her five arrows was released, shooting across the room and leaving a trail of light in its path. She reached for another arrow.

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Wow, that was fast @.@ I'm guessing you liked the book then? :p

I'm writing my posts now~ It's probably gonna take me a little while :0

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

I just finished my post. I know that I rephrased Pach's post in the context of Selan's point of view, but I thought it was important to clarify how exactly Selan was feeling because I realized the other day that I hadn't done the scenes confronting Neil justice in terms of appropriate emotional responses, and it was bugging me a lot. I hope you don't mind Pach, I figured you would want to take control of Neil for the time being anyway.

I'd also like to give the players in the Mordie scene the go-ahead with controlling/attacking Lisette in your posts if you want!

And now I need to sleep, I only got a couple hours last night x_x

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Los Paraisos: The Grande Diamond: Sixth Floor: ???

Selan tried her best to jerk away from the man she had nearly forgotten in the years that had passed, realizing with great horror that he was trying and succeeding in taking her away somewhere. He seemed intent on going rogue, with her in tow, thus the deep-rooted fears that she had tucked away for so long were now truly being realized. And no one seemed to know where she was.

When he finally stopped to partake in the leftovers of an abandoned meal, all she could do was look up at him with a look of intense indignation, anger, and disgust.

There was only one other person she hated more than this man.

Neil certainly received the message, and he wasn't happy about it. She thought he was contemplating hitting her. "Don't you look at me like that, you little sh--"

A rattling sound came from the wooden doors, causing Neil to tighten his hold over her mouth and stalk through the tables. She let out a muffled moan through his palm in the hopes that someone, anyone, would hear, but the door was locked...

The ceiling collapsed suddenly, filling Selan's ears with the enormously loud sound of splintering wood and cracking concrete. Selan batted at his hands, hoping to take advantage of the dusty haze filling the room, but he still held on tight.

Selan felt the impact in the form of a whooshing sensation just next to her head, rustling the loose strands of hair that had come undone in her struggle.

She had been released from Neil's grip, and the person responsible for that was kneeling next to her.

There was only one person who could have done what he did.

"Don...?" Selan murmured in surprise.

The Grande Diamond - Pool Room

On a regular day, Lisette staring blankly in response to an unusual request wasn't out of character at all, but this time was different; the moment Mordie winked at her, Lisette stopped in her tracks.

All day, the only things that mattered to her were the whereabouts of Kapi and Estelle. Her two best friends had simply disappeared and she couldn't remember a thing about why that was.

Something about Mordie compelled her to drop those thoughts, and in her mind, Estelle and Mordie's images seemingly blended together for just a moment before the only person in her heart was the white-haired woman... and Lucien was trying to hurt her!

Still, something felt off, and Lisette's hands flew to the top of her head, gripping it and wincing. It was a fleeting hesitation that quickly changed to steadfast loyalty towards the charmer, and she stared down her new foes with a determined glare.

"Leave it to me...!" Lisette declared, turning on her heel toward Lucien and the bros, to block their path. She braced her legs, deciding that if she were unarmed, the next best thing would be to kick the crud out of anyone who tried to get past her!
