Liliana

To Io's luck, someone had come just in time to distract the fairy in her entirety. See, to fairies, the queen was the greatest amongst all of them. The absolute best, prettiest, most amazingest fairy there was. And being mistaken for one was like calling that fairy a super amazing pretty bestest fairy. Liliana was pinker than her hair at the innocent statement, the fairy hurriedly shrinking down to her smaller size.

"I-Its not like that! I'm not a queen, I'm not! The queen's a lot taller, and um...way prettier! Basically perfect in every way!" she insisted, holding her hands out before the goblin before her. "N-No army, just me...but I'm a royal knight! So, I'm sort of a one-fairy army! B-But the Queen is like, SIX armies! She can make the trees throw rocks at people! And make the sky cry! And um...hm...what else..." the fairy was clearly searching for more examples to deify her Queen, before raising her sword aloft. "Oh, and she married a bona fide hero! He climbed the World Tree just because she asked!"

With her points proven that absolutely nobody had asked for or cared about, Liliana would return to her big size, face a little less flushed. "A-Anyways, um...sorry to disappoint. I'm Liliana, Sixth of the Thirteen Bladeflowers, the many swords of the Queen of Fairies Titania. I don't know if you've already met Io, but she's a super strong wizard. Her book divorces people! What's your name Ms.?" Liliana thought about it for a moment before realizing: "Hey wait, when did you get here anyways?"

Eula

Eula seemed to be lost in thought for a moment before she opened her eyes, having absorbed the information from the sword, as well as heard Shizuka's warnings. "Analysis complete. The sword was a composite of steel and glass created using arcane magic, to create a weapon capable of instantaneously rending enemy armor apart. Possesses inherent risks to the user including: Self-dismemberment, Self-exsanguination, Self-annihilation, blindness, infertility, and acute pain. Shatters after a single swing. Warning: Product is banned in numerous monster territories including-"

Once it started becoming superfluous information, Eula tugged her own cheek with her working arm. "Irrelevant. Those swords are dangerous. Avoid further combat with them, and if possible, shatter them with ranged attacks." She would then go over to the interior of the building, finding a cotton cloth that was likely the remains of a futon before draping it over her injured arm. "In order to perform adequately in combat, psychological damage cannot be ignored. They must think I am not damaged, Eula said before tying the cloth around her neck, making it into something akin to a cape. "In addition, this will serve to shield this unit's exposed circuits from dirt. Ready to resume pursuit."

Eula would stoop down to the ground to examine the footprints, before nodding to Shizuka. "In this mud, they'll be easy to track. Its remarkable how good your automatic repair function is. Mine works much more slowly...and I can only hope it can repair my arm fully," the android said, beginning to walk forward. She was honestly glad that Shizuka had stopped his bleeding so quickly. ...If someone she asked for help died because of her...she didn't know how she'd be able to handle it. Even an Automaton could feel sadness.

Fate/Grand Jackpot - Gamble For Humanity [DISCONTINUED]

Cordelia couldn't help but smile a bit at the kind words offered by Michel, a bit of spine returning to the girl before she heard the Master of Assassin speak. Killed by Servants, monsters, and each other...Cordelia had to imagine. How easy would it be for a Servant to sneak past Samson and disembowel her? How much of a push would someone as nice as Michel need to wring her neck? She'd quiver a bit, before a hand was gently placed on her shoulder.

Having risen from his seated position, Samson would be in a position to comfort his Master...albeit, he'd use the least comforting words to do it. Negative motivation, one might call it when he said: "Well if you're scared, the Director has generously offered you a benchwarming position. Hell, give the word and I'll raise a fuss and get unsummoned. I'm sure I'd only get a swing or two in before I'm sent back to the throne," Samson said, eyeing the Assassin in particular as he said that. "...But if you're stupid enough for this, then you're every bit the moron I thought you were when you summoned me."

There would be a brief pause as Cordelia sorted out her thoughts, before placing both of her hands atop Samson's. "...You really...are the worst," she said with a nervous smile. "...But fine. On my family's honor, I'll gladly risk my life to prove I'm worth something," she said, looking at the other Masters present, then at her own soup before she picked up the bowl and started wholesale drinking it, foregoing her spoon entirely. Setting the bowl down and wiping her face, she'd stand up. "If that's all director, I'll spend my remaining time preparing my rituals. ...I hope you recover swiftly, Ms. Staton," Cordelia said, presenting herself as every bit the mage's daughter she looked. She'd take a step away from the table, looking back over her shoulder at Michel. "Oh and...thank you for the words of confidence. I promise that I won't run unless its strictly necessary."

Samson would stay behind, seeing as he didn't have much need to help Cordelia with her stuff. Instead, he'd stand against the wall and observe the future going-ons of the last supper. Which may or may not have included sizing up this "Tamamo" that he wasn't allowed to fight. He hadn't gotten a chance to "read" her strength with his skill, but he had certainly felt his body's limitations growing higher while it tried to understand Tamamo's.

With introductions said and done, Fio was more than ready to get her grub on. ...Or rather, her drink. She was glad that even a great hero like Kick realized how scary being stuffed in a bag was, making Fio glad that someone had actually saved her from a bag. Bags in general were evil unless they were like, utility size. Or purses. But big burlap was a no-go. From the sound of it, they might even have more new friends later on, too! And then right at the end of him talking Fio just about bowled over from his voice, needing to flail her leaves back and forth to stabilize.

But hey, who cared, food! And by food, Fio's brain meant: Water! Juice! And maybe some sort of sauce-based food because she didn't have teeth. Or...wait, did she have a mouth? She never really thought about it, but she sure must have one if she talked. All she usually ate all day was water, fruit juice, and good 'ol sunshine, so...who knew, honestly. Fio would loud up her four leaves with a drink in each, ranging from apple juice to water as she happily sipped in contentment. She'd take a seat by wherever Gale wound up, thinking that the gloomy looking Minum might just wind up eating by himself if he didn't have a friend nearby. "A conversation makes a friend, that's what...wait, who said that again? Me? I don't know...probably me," she thought, plopping down across from him. "Hi!"

There was definitely a level of social ineptitude on the part of the Fomantis, since she didn't have a conversation starter beyond yelling a greeting and staring.

Guild of Renta-Experts [[CANCELLED]]

With the loot scooped and the boots scootin', Alice would lead our intrepid party into the daylight and off to Victor's house. Sofia would carry the wriggling gnome, while also making absolutely sure that he couldn't use his hands or mouth to cast any spells. Alice was happy that, at the very least, Brandy had gotten a nice dress out of everything. They'd have to get the rest of the stuff identified back in town though, and hopefully that would be cheap enough.

Alice would handle smooth-talking Victor, needing him to sign off on the job completed. Which he'd do, after having Vreznok taste the back of his shovel for the trouble he caused. "Took ya long enough ta' get 'im! Now git!" Victor shouted, running them off despite the job being completed fairly well. ...Not to mention, Alice had managed to smoothly pin the broken lock on Vreznok, who was now unconscious and gagged, slung over Sofia's shoulder like a rucksack.

Alice couldn't hide her tail wagging like crazy. "We did it ladies...a real adventure!" she said, enthusiastic as she skipped along the road back to Gnarlton. If they kept this pace, they'd get back by sunset and with time to check into an inn.

Sofia smirked. "Even if our first human foe was just a gnome with a bad attitude and zero skill with women, I feel...proud. As should you, Brandy. You charged in with such bravery, in spite of the danger!" Alice nodded in agreement, remembering Brandy's stampeded that distracted Vreznok long enough for her to make a plan.

They'd return, proving at least some of their worth to the jaded guild manager of Gnarlton by bringing in a necromancer alive, along with some of his loot.

Gringor decided he had other things to do first. Certainly not because he retreated, definitely not, just ask him.

But yea, sorry for the late response.

@Restalaan

My brain said it would be very worth using paint for evil today.

I am so sorry for the indirect bullying from Liliana btw. She do her best.

"Who, me? Well, I met Shizuka, sure...and that Gringor guy, I guess," Liliana answered, unsure what exactly Io was getting at. Then...it hit her. Wizards were like, super nerds. Had Io never seen men in her life?

Gasping at the idea, Liliana would suddenly take Io's hands, saying: "Have you never seen men before now, Io!? From the way she put her hood up and Io's generally bookish nature, Liliana had to assume that she was concerned about never finding a partner. "Well, I mean uh...me too, honestly. I mean, fairies are usually girls, and men that step too far into our woods get scared off by the giant plants and all. But still! Do you need a wingwoman?"

The absurdity of the moment might not fade away if Io didn't explain what it was she'd never seen before...lest she be forced into Liliana's idea of "how to talk to guys". "When Shizuka gets back, we can practice with him! He's super cool, can make clones of himself, and has a really cool sword! ...I think that's pretty standard for human guys, right?"

Eula

In some part of her mind, Eula had expected this horrible outcome. A human choosing to take their own life through fighting them instead of simply surrendering and begging for forgiveness. Her hands had received the brunt of the slash, with the impacting shards killing the bandit, wounding Shizuka and-

[Error! Internal stability compromised due to puncture wound. Sealing off flow of magical energy to left arm!] Her circuits sparked to life, and then death as Eula painfully convulsed, a brief flow of magical energy set free from its circuits reeking havoc on the inside of her right arm before it went slack. Despite being an automaton, Eula looked...in agony. Shivering a bit, she clutched her limp right arm before remembering Shizuka's wounds, and gently reaching out to him. "Shizu...ka...a-a-a-a-re you injured?" she asked, voice repeating a few syllables and stammering on some due to the damage done to part of her circuits, her body struggling to compensate the flow of energy in her body.

Looking down at the bandit with glassy eyes, Eula would say: "My fault. All my-my-my-my-my fault." She'd slowly reach to her own arm and start pulling out some chunks of the strange glass blade, needing to do so for her circuits to start repairing...but even that might take a week of rest. Automaton healing was slow as hell, and the only way to speed it up was with an engineer aiding her.

"Suspend...mission?" Eula asked, voice back to normal as she looked to Shizuka. "This unit can continue to operate at 70% combat efficiency. But Shizuka, as a human, you are at far greater risk from blood loss and organ damage caused by that glass sword," she said, unaware of how deep his wounds were. However, she would take a piece of the glass sword from the shattered handle and gingerly crush it with a rock, before consuming the powderized form to analyze. "Conducting Analysis of Crystalline Sword."

Me, picking Destiny 2 back up ever since the Forsaken expansion: Eh, sure, I'll play this again. I bet not much has changed.

Me, having finished both Beyond The Light and The Witch Queen expansion days ago: WHOSE THE WITNESS!? WE HAVE LIGHT AND DARKNESS POWERS NOW!? SOME WORLDS ARE GONE! SOME WORLDS WERE ADDED! EVERYTHING'S BETTER! EVERYTHING'S MORE FUN! I CAN'T PUT THE GAME DOWN! SEND HELP!

Between this, WH40K Chaos Gate: Daemonhunters, MH Rise, FF14 and SRB2Kart, yeah, I need to remind myself to do updates here. Hopefully I'll have one up tonight, tomorrow morning at the latest.

@Rezod92

Coming back to D2 was wild for me because of the anniversary event, so I got the Marathon shotgun and have never used anything else if I could help it. Also EYYYY SRB2Kart!

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Apocalypse Rescue Team

Fio had been excited for the events of this morning: The day where she'd get to actually join up with the guild and join a Rescue Team! Everything was definitely going to go great: The sun was shining, her horoscope said she'd have great luck with money today, and she'd managed to have a good dream. All good signs! She was bouncing on the tips of her feet as the group gathered, before letting out a surprised "Meep!" at Kick's attention-gathering sound. He hadn't even done anything, but even Fio could feel the pressure in the room. As if on reflex, she would flop onto the ground, curling her leaves out around her as if to camoflauge herself. Then, once Kick started talking proper, she shot back up, smile renewed.

"Phew! I thought he was mad...but he sounds so nice!" she thought to herself, swaying from side to side in excitement. One of the other new Pokemon, Ting, would introduce himself first. He didn't seem especially prepared to give a speech, but then again this was kind of strung on them last minute. Oh well! Seeing as the Minun that was beside her didn't look eager to go up, Fio would gently pat their back, then gesture at herself with her other leaf. Waddling up, Fio would use her leaves to pull herself up on stage, eyes sparkling. "Hello everyone!"

She would bounce a bit on her feet, looking at all the cooler, more experienced Rescuers around her. "I got saved from being in a bag, so now I wanna help people too! I think being a Rescuer is the best job in the world for helping people, so...um..." This speech stuff was hard! She'd look a bit conflicted for a moment, before looking up at Kick and renewing that sparkle-eye thing she somehow did. "I wanna make lots of friends, and save lots of people! I hope I can get super strong, so that nobody can stuff people in bags while I'm around," she said, before bowing, leaves curling as if they were her arms before she started wobbling off the stage, taking her place back where she'd been standing.

Now, the Minun was the only one left to speak. Seeing as the three of them were the only novices present thus far...did this make them a team? She was too excited to read all the details in full, but was just super stoked to be accepted by the guild. ...Well, that and because it was either the guild or going homeless.

I thiiiink I'll let Tree post first, because I wrote Gale as waffling a lot, so I kinda wanna write around that by having Fio go before he does

@Ammokkx

Roger. I'll get a post out today then.
