The Faintly Gallows (Dark Fantasy/Horror/Suspense/Supernatural)

I'll wait till everyone is satisfied with this day before moving on bluejay. Still some business to be taken care of I think.

The Faintly Gallows (Dark Fantasy/Horror/Suspense/Supernatural)

I posted. Trying to move things along. Larrus (the gatekeeper) is getting a party together to investigate the murders up north; anyone who wants to be a part in it has to meet up in the inn tomorrow morning (in-game time).

I'd wager it is a 3-day trip to the destination. Along the way we may run into a few conflicts, but I don't plan anything major until we get to our destination. Hunters, trackers, fighters, all are welcome!

EDIT: And with the money you make from these escapades you could probably get an item from Jack the Trader, but that's entirely up to you. I hope you guys like him when he comes along.

The Faintly Gallows (Dark Fantasy/Horror/Suspense/Supernatural)

When Haven brought out Valunn's ale he didn't hesitate to pick it up and begin sipping on it as Densha replied to his questions. It was good ale, well-made, but probably because Sloan accumulated such an enormous amount of wealth he could afford or pay whatever he wanted for the best ale around.

“Loras, was it?” She said before observing his figure. “I’d be interested in splitting the bounty – assuming we’re after the same mark. Why don’t you tell me who you’re looking for, first?” Of course, Densha was being solid, standing her ground. That was something Valunn admired; it meant she was strong-willed, determined, and cautious.

"Aye," Valunn replied, sitting his mug over to the left, next to the edge of the table. He leaned up, bearing his weight down on his arms upon the table. "He's a foreigner of these lands... tall, about my size. Black hair, blue eyes... goes by the name 'Valunn'. Many would mistake the fellow for me if they knew him, but I wouldn't figure anyone around here knows who he is."

Leaning back up he reached over to grab his mug of ale and began sipping from it again.

At that moment Larrus the gatekeeper burtsed through the door, completely ignorant to whoever he was disturbing. "'Ello mates, eye'zup'ere! (Hello mates, eyes up here!) They's been a sightin' up north! Nawt to be concernt though folks, just a small... search'n'go, payment awarded at end of ye services! The party meets 'morrow mornin', here!" Several people began hollering in his direction to accept the offer while others hurried off to prepare for the journey.

Damn! thought Valunn, putting his mug down without listening to Densha's reply. Something must have happened. His pursuers were hot on his trail, and now they're terrorizing the locals. Valunn was obligated to go out with this search party. "On second thought," he said to Densha, "I think I just found my man." He nodded his head back towards Larrus. Would Densha take up Larrus' offer? He wasn't sure, so he decided to 'persuade' her. "If you be a bounty hunter there woman, then perhaps you ought to come along. Who knows, may lead you to your target... or our target he said."

Upstairs
Stupid! Keeping me safe... pff, the moron isn't even up here! Leave me here for those... things to get me! Can they climb? Of course they can. They have hands. Everyone has hands though, so everyone can climb, right?

The girl ramble don in her head, listening to the light humming coming from down below. The Faintly Gallows sounded busy, but the girl was use to 'busy'. The thin, ragged cloth she was lying on didn't offer much padding against the hard wooden floor, and the sack-of-flour-pillow may as well be a stone. It was worse than the outdoors in her mind. Especially with him! Pushing me around! Being rough! Cursing in front of my face... keeping the food and water to himself... and so bossy! Ooh, so bossy! So...

Lily tilted her head as she began to think deeper, realizing he wasn't that bad. He didn't 'hog' the food, he only rationed it. And he didn't boss her around, he was teaching her how to react in such an alien environment, showing her that the real world will push and boss you around and sometimes there's nothing you can do about it. When she was cold he kept her warm, clutched tightly in his arms at night - safe and comfortable despite not having a bed. No, he wasn't that bad. He was a good man, just troubled, and lost.

I want Valunn to talk to Densha, Gabriel and Eksile!

May be post after work, not sure yet. I woke up yesterday with what felt like a 'clogged ear'. It's not clogged anymore but good god I got this loud ringing in my ear and it won't go away!

While you're at it, you can grab Valunn a mug of ale.

Bluejay, Valunn is intentionally lying to Densha because he's not entirely sure if she's looking for him or not. Just some situational irony, but I would figure that the fact Valunn is lying to her might have implications in the future, such as Densha not being able to trust Valunn.

“Yes, sure. I’m Densha,” The woman began before sitting down at the same table, “And you?”

"Name's Loras," he lied. "I'm a bounty hunter, you see, and I couldn't help but notice you're asking around for someone. Perhaps we're looking for the same person, no? Maybe we could be of use to each other."

Valunn awaited the woman's reply. He was attempting to see if Densha was looking for him, and if so that could cause problems. Meanwhile, Valunn called out to the young woman Haven, "a mug of ale, please ma'am."

I will make a reply to that later today hopefully, but would you want to do a collaborative post for the conversation? I know Haven still needs to speak to Densha so maybe we ought to wait until she comes out with Densha's food and you guys talk over what you need to talk over.

The League - First Blood (Persistent World Superhero Sci Fi and Fantasy, Always Open)

So what's going on guys? Sorry I couldn't keep on going when we started, but I might would join this considering a number of factors.

My character would be Warlord, an ex-Marine who becomes a skilled vigilante fueled by the rage instilled within him after the apparent demise of his godchild. He initially works alone before coming into contact with the intelligent Miranda Stratus who helps him on his crusade. Miranda is able to help him retrieve the Warlord-V3, a prototype suit with joint-braces that enhance Warlord's speed and strength. Miranda is his 'intelligent, technologically-skilled, communications' operator; you know the type.

I'd be interested in working in Red Lace again if I can.

The League - First Blood (Persistent World Superhero Sci Fi and Fantasy, Always Open)

Will probably join this depending on a number of factors. Here is my bio for the time being.

Name: Garret Hanes

Codename: Warlord

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Place of Birth: Georgia, USA

Affiliations: US Marine Corps (formerly), Miranda Stratus

Occupation: Assassin, mercenary, bounty hunter, vigilante.

Appearance:

Powers: None

Skills: Peak human strength, speed, reflexes. Above-average agility. Expert martial artist, marksman, tactician, strategist, and tracker. Skilled at stealth, explosives, and sabotage. With the Warlord-V3 Garret has greatly enhanced speed, strength, and reflexes (above peak-human), as well as being flame-retardant and providing resistance to bullets and blades.

Equipment/Resources: An array of guns, depending on the situation. Warlord has been known to use semi-automatic pistols, submachine guns, assault rifles, and sniper rifles. He also carries combat knives. He almost always wears his Warlord-V3 suit.

Warlord-V3: Before its closure nearly a decade ago, the CRDT (Combat Research and Development Team) developed three prototype suits that would enable the wearer to have above-human capabilities. The V1 was made of metal, was to heavy, and was more or less an exo-suit. The V2 was better developed, but the CRDT never finished its construction. After Miranda Strarus managed to hack CRDT's archives, she was able to order and the necessary components and recreate the V2, only with her own ingenuity - thus the V3 was created. The V3 is made entirely of synthetic material with no traces of metal. the suit itself is flame-retardant, resistance to bullets and blades, and the tight-fitting rotary-enhancers gift the user with above-peak-human strength and speed.

Weaknesses: Tendency to lose control; anger issues; potentially insane; mentally unstable; impulsive.

Psychological Profile: Garret is fueled by hate, rage, and a desire for revenge after being driven nearly insane by the disappearance of his godchild.
