Cydone.
Either Pink or Cydone for the Angels, Cass for Hell.
@Lmpkio I'll be at Casablanca, but I've yet to write a post I'm satisfied with saying I'm there.

Alexi, Knight of Winter

Somewhere within the eternal war and battle lines of the Nexus, on a contested Machina border.


"A common lament." Alexi noted as Wolf spoke of man vs gods. "Even the gods here seem to share that cry."

As her own swordsmanship was questioned, Alexi tilted. "Truly? We are uncertain. We thought we were very good with the blade, but then we died when we came to the Nexus. I alone seem to have come back from death, but still, we were unable to avoid it." Alexi had died once, and never defeated an opponent. If Alexi had known how the Nexus worked and how only champions of their respective factions were revived, she would have been quite confused that she had been revived. But she didn't, so it was simply a mystery accepted calmly like all the other mysteries of the nexus.

"We are not certain I have fought anyone sword to sword since we came here. We clashed against the blade of the Ravenous Flame, but, that was simply a test of strength and speed and magic played out through the blade. We were found wanting with a single strike, and did not have any power left to contest her in skill." Alexi explained her previous defeat.

"If one of you wishes to test the strength of the Knights of Winter, we would be glad to accommodate. Though, by our reckoning, I would be helpless as a babe before the Anti-Magic of Wolf, as our strength and speed rely on magic, or the toxins of Bone Sword. You may have to restrain your power to my level if you wish to see my skill." Alexi rose from her seat, and raised her sword.

Zyata


"By the way... I wouldn't be so hasty to make that claim of 'Queen of the Lizards' if I were you. You know very well who the top reptilian is. If there's anyone that can contest these words of your it's her." Zyata's eyes, narrowed, as she concentrated. That.. didn't sound quite right.

"Hang on... I'm pretty sure she said 'Saurians'. And Miss Eclipse Princess is a Snake. I don't remember snakes being part of Saurians. Are you sure?” Zyata pulled out a smart phone from among her gear, long since disconnected from Machina networks, though Eos could probably still spy on it if she really cared what Zyata happened to be doing with the slightest sliver of effort. Zyata pulled up a few years out of data encyclopedia program. It was somewhat relaxing to have something to distract herself from... Focus! She interrupted the errant train of thought.

"Yeah, snakes aren't saurians. Different clades entirely. Wonder what a clade means. I'll check that later. Sure, they're both reptiles, though..” Zyata probably shouldn't have tried to 'correct' someone when she herself required the assistance of a smartphone to reference, especially when that someone was a Vassal. But as stated before, mouth shuting was not among Zyata's skills. "Snakes aren't lizards either, even if that was what she claimed.”

@Lmpkio Do you mean paragraphs?
I'm figuring Morocco will be the least popular destination, so I'll take that if nobody else wants it.

Alexi, Knight of Winter

Somewhere within the eternal war and battle lines of the Nexus, on a contested Machina border.


As Wolf explained himself, Alexi nodded. "Oh.. Hmm.. You were that sword. A gracious and mighty sword, but never answered the question that mattered. I thank you anyway for your assistance in the room of many doors and the room of food and scary trees." It was if she remembered the events, but somehow had difficulty telling that Wolf was the same person throughout each event. "We’re surprised a Sword like you hasn’t seen more use. Unquestioning, loyal, unimaginative, and strong. Perfect qualities it would seem for a blade. Unlike the Exemplar Destroyer, more powerful, but unpredictable and unreliable, disloyal. Unlike the One Become Two, everything that could be wanted, but destined for tragedy, by the thread of unconquerable fate." Alexi tilted her head slightly confused. "Why haven’t you been mass produced? Out of all the replicable blades, you seem the best.”

As Bonesword disparaged talking about souls, Alexi shook her head, "”Souls are the only thing worth talking about. Nothing else matters. Swords are meaningless existences, that only serve as an extension of their Wielder’s soul. Trapped as your soul is, you are still more alive than we, Bone Sword." Alexi knew Bonesword’s name apparently. Though that gap between the words was almost like she was simply describing him, or what the voices told her about him, and it just so happened that Bonesword’s name was so descriptive of him that it worked. Like when she had called Ira the Ravenous Flame, only much, much more on the nose.

Zyata


"Now that you commented on the Angels. They did well.” Zyata gave a little fist pump into the air. Sure, she hadn’t been the most helpful warrior, but she’d still done more than any other Amazon on the scene save maybe Nyx. She kinda sorta helped. It was a win, no matter how small, and she was taking it.

"I am she who all Saurians draw upon. My name is Titanica... and we are both Vassals beyond Heaven or any other faction's control."

Zyata blinked, interrupting her gaze at Titanica. And then again. "Wait. What. I mean..." She looked down her thought process fairly easily transparent, its journey from shocked, to doubt, to consideration, to excitement. Titanica made a high flying claim. But well, she also seemed to be pretty powerful. So maybe she was telling the truth! "DOES THAT MEAN YOU KNOW THE PERSON WHO ALL TIGERS DRAW UPON? COULD I MEET THEM?" Zyata splashed and stumbled her way forward a bit, half rising from the water, before falling back down into it, and then scrambling back up. She arrived at the point of Titanica and Hohenheim’s dramatic and sexy stand off, completely, interrupting it with her unabashed hopefulness and exuberance. She was practically out of breath from the combination of her unceasing babbling and uncoordinated effort brought on by her enthusiasm. "I mean, I could totally understand if you didn’t, or if like, you wouldn’t want to bring me to see them, cause you’re busy, or maybe you aren’t friends, but if I hang around you is there maybe a small chance I’d meet them someday?" And then she was out of breath, and could only gasp for air for a few moments, perhaps ill-advisedly reaching a hand out to lean against Titanica.

Miyu

Happyverse


"I really haven't any certain ideas.. First we'll need to find out what's actually of value in this world. Maybe we can find a library?" Miyu expanded her senses once more, looking for high concentrations of books. She eventually found one, and, unlike her earlier attempt to sense for a beach, she was on the mark this time, and started leading her and Lillian there.

On the way, Miyu asked, "Say, is there any truth to those stories where like, demon’s horns or angels feathers are useful alchemical components? I could spare a few, if you think that’d help you make anything cool."

@TheWindel

Sapphire Pink



Pink certainly did not have the physical strength to resist being pushed off by Ruxen, but she made up for it with dogged determination. Whatever Ruxen used to push her away, Pink then latched on to that to that. As Ruxen kicked Pink in the face, Pink simply clung to the foot that kicked her. She massaged around the pads on Ruxen’s feet with her thumbs as she gripped around the edges of Ruxen’s feet with her fingers. "Ah, you’re so beautiful," Pink sighed, completely unaware or not minding of her own bruised cheek, as she leaned in to lick between Ruxen’s toes. Ruxen seemed to have her own little worshipper. Now if only Pink listened to commands.

@Floodtalon
@Lmpkio Be quick, or maybe a sneaky cat'll beat you to the punch. :P
@KoL You could just treat this as a collab in progress, in that the actual fight, timeline wise, took like 5-10 minutes, it just took the players a long time to post it.
