Topic: Reralae's Story Fragments
Subject: Ask not the sun, why she sets...
The shadow trailed beyond the roof, flickering on the street below. The red hexagons circled the moon far above, their blood-stained lights searching the city beneath. Ducking under the scaffolding, the shadow's owner hid from the spotlights.
"Full moon is always a pain, eh?"
A nod.
"It has been said that anything can happen during the full moon."
Another nod.
"Got nothing to say?" The cat sitting on the sill idly licked her paw before staring up at her visitor, "I know you. You came to make a deal."
"I only have one life. It's not a deal I can make lightly; I'm still having second thoughts." The visitor finally spoke, taking off her veil and revealing a mane of silver hair, a sharp face, and emerald eyes matching the cat's stare.
The striped cat seemed to grin, "A life for a life, I believe goes the saying. Not even I know what will happen if you do it, here and now, during the full moon."
"You seem quite content to watch." The woman spoke.
"I've been watching for a very long time. It's always interesting. I don't meddle." The cat replied, looking bored despite her words.
"Except you do."
"I beg your pardon?" The cat looked up, a bemused glimmer in her yellow eyes.
"Everything you've told me, the things you've, suggested. Ideas. I wouldn't have had them if not for you." The woman replied. It wasn't an accusation, but rather pointing out the fact.
"Very perceptive." The cat purred, "I'm not inclined to tell you why, but you know that already."
The woman nodded once more.
"You're almost out of time. If you're going to do it, you might want to start." The cat mused.
"By your permission," There was hesitation in her voice.
The cat smiled, "How can I deny such a polite customer?"
With a deep breath, the woman began the incantation.
By the key to the soul,
Turn and undo the whole,
Break down the barrier between dark and light,
Blur the boundary between wrong and right.
By the light of the moon,
I ask for this boon,
Alter the future, and by my life I pay,
For the power to change night into day.
The red beams of light quickly converged on their meeting spot, but it was too late for that to make a difference. The cat smiled, looking up at the fading form of the woman, and the cat began the answer,
Life begets life,
Regardless of strife.
For your life, given of your will,
I exchange mine, so you may live still.
Nine I have, and nine I still do,
May this new life be true to you.
The power to change, you are possessing,
Beware the curse that is this blessing.
Another velvet stripe upon her body now, the cat disappeared into the building. Her part was done.
Far above, the red hexagons shattered - broken by spears of shadow reaching to their light.
Yeena took her second breath, regaining her body, her hair now split between gold and silver. The first blow was hers, but this would be a long battle. Her new cat eyes examined the moon, her gaze piercing to what was hiding within.
Perhaps, one day, she would be able to defeat the one that could not be defeated.

I wrote it, but I don't even know everything that's going on in it. Some fragments are weird like that. Come out of nowhere and leave even the writer with questions.

Subject: Hex-Winged - Fly or Fall
If I was particularly eloquent I would say I apologize in advance.
Except that would be a lie. If anything this is overdue, horribly so. I am really sorry.
School has started again. This time around, I have 6 courses. One of which is a language class (yes, putting points into Speak Language or Linguistics... not going to be easy).
Needless to say, the work load is immense. I'll have daily work from the language course, as well as weekly essays, and programming assignments. But... this is my (hopefully) final year. Whatever that means. I am too used to 'graduation' not having any real meaning, besides transition to another school, but I'll handle that when that happens.
To those GMs impacted by this, I am really sorry. Please do as is necessary with the relevant characters. I'll have to leave that in your hands.
I know I leave an obligation incomplete, and that is really a bad mark for me.
Well, until later, this sylph has to fly.
しつれいします

Subject: I could have sworn I posted here... yet the proof is irrevocable. My apologies
Violet's call of thanks stuck in her throat as the rough fur of the vermin approaching under Asher caught her eye. Quickly she altered her position, bringing Catkin around and aiming down at the weasel, as she notched another arrow and let it fly.
With hope, it would hit its mark before the weasel even saw it coming, and with it, Vi would return the favour.

Subject: Of retail and of Foxiness
She leaned over to Fox. “Comfortable, three bedroom, two bath affair and a view overlooking the bay. Surrounded by natural scenery, close to the best fishing in Sandpoint. Buy now and it comes with all the furniture thrown in for free.”
"You forgot the part about being a pet friendly neighborhood. That's always a good selling point." Fox winked and whispered back to Nona.
“We only need a moment of your time, Mr. Proudstump.” She elbowed Fox discretely, silently requesting back-up from the socialite. “We're here about the goblin bounty, and common knowledge has it you are the best source for information concerning Brinestump. Besides,” Nona cast a speculative glance over Walthus' head into his house, “it can't be any messier than most wizards I've studied with.” The sad part was, even out here in the swamp, she meant it.
Fox nodded, giving a smile, "Is there anything you might be able to tell us as travelers going through the local area as well? Vague rumours one's ear catches in the city aren't always much help when on the trail after all." she'd add

Subject: Good evening to you too
Kyrie knelt beside the woman and smiled. "Good evening. Or maybe it's morning. Hard to tell when the sun isn't around." She said, completely nonchalant about her outburst.
"Now I get that you just woke up and are grumpy, but I think you might want to calm down a bit." Kyrie suggested, before she looked thoughtful, "I'm personally not about to follow through with what Zeran suggested, but if the others put it to a vote, I can and will use my shovel to knock you out, again."
"Oh, I'm Kyrie by the way." She smiled again.

Subject: Well not much in the way of answers but better than nothing
Catie nodded as Jon called for a reconvene, "That sounds like a good idea. I get the feeling emotions ran a bit strongly, taking a break can be good to look at the situation in a new light."
Afterwards she sat down beside Lilliana, "Believe me, I have a good idea of what you want, and how much you want it. However, I'm not the one calling the shots so I can't guarantee anything, especially with how tangled this net seems to be." She tapped at her forehead, "We need to be careful. Acting hasty at this point will do more harm than good. Some things line up in our favour, some don't. I just need to make sure we have a good plan going in, because once we get there, that's when we find out just how good or bad a given idea will be."
She then nodded at the brothers, "Now, you boys never actually answered my second question. I wasn't asking how sure you are - I know for a fact you're certain enough to take major risks, doing what you have done on your own. I was asking about your contingency. So far you're clear, if it's there you're taking it back, but if it's not there, then what will you do? You may not be asking us to get involved, but like it or not we're all involved with what others do at this point. Might as well take the opportunity to build a plan."
(if they get flustered, Catie will say the next bit and move to Asante)
"Well, if you'd like to talk to each other first, you can." Catie stands up, "I actually need to ask Asante some questions as well."
(from the post I got the impression Asante moved elsewhere since it was listed that Catie could talk with Lillianna and the brothers there. If that's the case and the brothers need to sort things out with each other first she'll go to find Asante)

Subject: Kyrie does what Kyrie does
Kyrie wasn't too sure what to make of the situation at this point, but there was one thing she did know for sure, and that was that she was not going to say nothing.
"Hey, listen! I might not know who you are, but it looks like you had an agreement. I know you need to eat to survive, but you already have one. We haven't attacked you, but if you insist, I will use my shovel." Kyrie spoke, advancing and staring her down, "For the record, I'm not just leaving her to die here, even if it was my shovel that knocked her out."
No one told her that carnivorous water shapeshifters were unable to be reasoned with. Also, no one apparently told the water creature about how stubborn Kyrie can be. If she doesn't relent, then Kyrie instinctively activates her shield and uses her shovel as she said she would.

Subject: Leaving the melee peeps to Mr Might Still Be Growing Badger
Violet didn't draw breath until after she saw her arrow strike its mark. She nodded, satisfied with the result. Except there were far more weasels than she had seen. She grimaced at missing them earlier, and at the arrow striking Ribbon. Vi quickly drew another arrow, directing Catkin towards the other weasel archer.
"You hurt Ribbon. I'll go over there and make you pay if I have to." Violet muttered as she let her arrow fly.
She liked Ribbon's smile, and in some ways she thought of Ribbon like a little sister. Vi wasn't going to let them get away with hurting her.

Since the previous post had the 'if nothing else is added' in brackets, you can presume she didn't get around to asking them the first time because something was added that did have to be addressed, which stops the flow of the remainder of that post. 
If X then Y, but in the event X is false then Y does not happen.

Subject: Whoops I thought I posted here... but I guess that was a dream
Violet was thankful for the tree cover that they came across as they made their way up the path. She was never that comfortable on the ground. Perhaps it was a good thing too, for at the clearing, the hair at the back of her neck stood on end. This was too convenient. Then she saw it. The rough looking fur of a weasel.
I guess that's more points towards that horde theory. This just got more complicated. Violet thought to herself.
There was nothing for it. If it was a scout or lookout then they'd report their position, and there was nothing said about any friendly weasels in the area (if such a thing existed). Either way, Violet couldn't let that happen. She quickly drew back Catkin, judging the distance between her and the weasel and adjusting accordingly. Without a word she let the arrow fly.
It was a bit strange for her to be so quick to attack, but given the area they were in, she was on edge as it was, and she trusted her instincts. They are what let her fly in the first place after all.

Subject: A Gambit Pileup if I ever saw one
Catie chuckled. She asked for more cards, and she was given a hand so to speak. Very lively... quite different than the team back then... but then that was a group of more like minded people. Here we have quite a variety of minds and masks.
"Calm down, Captain. If Asante is being truthful, her objective means low collateral damage. Damage to us was never intended, but it works out better now that we can bring everyone to the same page." Catie nodded tapped the side of her cheek.
She nodded at Grace, "While it may be better to be uninvolved, originally being a third party hired here, personally, I believe we have good reason to be involved at this point. Trying to figure something out that works for everyone means we'll all be on the same page. If we're all on the same page, and inclusive, then we're less likely to end up with people trying to run their own plans which may run counter to the best outcome. It's when you have many different plans in motion all at the same time and stepping on each other that disasters happen. Like this." Catie shrugs.
"That's not to say that the best outcome will be easy by comparison. It's just more likely if we work as a cohesive unit rather than independent parties." Catie noted, "First thing is first though... there's some questions to be asked." She looks at the brothers, "First of all, in the event that Steele is the one that stole the Colt, and your suspicions are true, what would be the result of that? Secondly, I can believe how strongly you feel about them, but should your suspicions be false, what will you do then?"

Subject: Let's see what we have here
Catie nodded to Jon and stepped forward. She wasn't playing waitress now. It was like she was back at the meetings... and trying to resolve conflicts between her team and her superiors. Folding her hands together, she looked between all of their passengers calmly.
"So, is that it? Last call for adding cards to the table. After all, if we're to try to sort this whole thing out, in a way that would work for at least those of us present, don't hold any back." Catie asked, giving a smile.
((Presuming nothing is added))
"Alright. Now let's see what we have here." She turns to look at the brothers, "The outcome that you two are after is to get onto Steele property in order to attempt to retrieve potential evidence. The obligation that you have is to Badger, who for his part is working for Lilliana's father."
Catie then looks at Lilliana, "The outcome that you wish for is to be with the person you actually love. The obligation imposed on you is in this arranged marriage."
Catie then steps back, "If we consider the flow of connections, the single common aspect is this all goes back to the Baron. That makes him the most likely candidate in order to amend these conflicts of interest. In that regard, we actually do have a few options, but a few questions need to be answered first."
She looks at the two brothers, "First of all, in the event that Steele is the one that stole the Colt, and your suspicions are true, what would be the result of that? Secondly, I can believe how strongly you feel about them, but should your suspicions be false, what will you do then?"

In the last update (Target Neutralized) there was no mention or reference of Catie at all. My presumption was that because it seemed a reactionary post, it wasn't calling for a change of direction from Catie.
I see her mentioned now though in the most recent update. Missed it the first time I read since it was in the middle of the sentence. That's all I needed, now I can visualize it fully.

If I'm to post I kind of need to know at what point Catie stopped/got interrupted before things played out. I don't have much indication of where Catie is in this mix now. Might be a case of TMC - too many characters in one place.
There was an indicator that Ody posted, but he may have deleted the post and caused the forum glitch of the blank last page

Subject: No time like the present
"Thank you!" Violet replied as she was given the map. She quickly looked it over, trying to find out if there was alternate paths to the roost that could be taken. On the one hand there could be an escape route for the shrew, and on the other, if the main path was guarded or watched, using another path might give them an advantage.
"Well let's get started." Violet nodded to herself, "If we're lucky we'll be able to deal with one at a time, but I'm not overly hopeful about that."
When they move out, Violet will take point, keeping a lookout both ahead and above. She knows that the moles that came before were either defeated at the roost or intercepted along the way, so she's going to try to be careful about their approach.

Subject: What does Kyrie do during downtime?
The fifth
"Dear Mother..." Kyrie murmured when she saw the body of the kobold on the tree. She'd help to get it down with Zeran, using her shovel to split the spear haft where it met the tree to prevent additional damage, but the sunken feeling in her heart was that it was too late for the little guy. In spite of how it looked, Kyrie does what she can for the kobold regardless.
((For the record Kyrie does do a heal check for certainty but not expecting that to result in a change of situation))
Kyrie gives a surprised sound as Perlivash lands on her head. She recognized the high pitched voice easily enough. "Easy, easy there, Perl." She raised her hands to gently transfer Perl to a more relaxed position, gently hugging the fey so as not to crush him with her armour. After a moment she lets him down, "Do you two know what happened?"
“The mean biggenses, they're back! You came and you slew them foreverago, but they have returned!” Perlivash squeaked.
“They've come back for revenge! Round two! Take no survivors!” Tyg added. “They came, five of them, and the one—black like the heart of a demon—killed the scaly kobold one while the big-like-and-ox laughed. Their leader was frowny and grey and made faces at them, then they left. We were too scared to look! We were running home but then we saw you! You must kill them!”
"I don't think it'd be the same ones." Kyrie noted, "Must be others from their base. We still haven't found it yet, but when we do, there's a lot more than words to be traded." She nodded firmly.
((pending other interactions))
"Just make sure you two don't get caught by them. Not all big people are bad but be careful." Kyrie offers the two fey.
The Sixth
"Stubborn little guys. Just won't go away now will you? There's a whole grassland out there and you come in here? Well, I won't allow it." Kyrie had a stern look to her as she raised her shovel, "Weeds, I will stop you!"
The shovel sank into the dirt easily enough, and Kyrie took care to only aim for the roots of the weed rather than any of the produce. She had years of experience doing that after all. For once (well, since the last time they were there anyway) she wasn't in her armour, just dressed in plain attire and tending to the small garden.
"Really, really stubborn." She chuckled, wiping her brow with the back of her hand.
Seeing Zeran nearby she waved at him as he came over.
"Kyrie, I've got to thank you." Zeran took his hat off and bowed standing upright again. "You've saved my ass more then a few times now in more ways then one. Thank you, I've no clue how I'll repay you for it but I will one day."
He leaned in, but Kyrie leaned back, unable to keep the giggle from her throat, "Might not want to do that right now, Zeran. Mah'i always said to wash up first after fighting weeds."
She gave him a warm smile, "Don't worry about repaying or such. I did sign up for this after all." She pauses, thinking a moment, "Or at least would have if that one guy wasn't so finicky with his paper. I guess the shovel intimidated him." She shrugs, "But that's just a detail." She gave a laugh.
Evening
Zeran glowered as he listened to the exchange giving his head a shake as he watched the bandits go off. "Can't wait to put a bullet in each of them, Stag Git especially." He growled a frown on his face. "We need to discuss a plan of attack or defense. I've a few ideas if someone doesn't suggest them first." He said keeping his eyes staring after the torches as he spoke to the group.
[...]
Kyrie nodded, "Let's let them know that they're wrong about us being away. Shake them up. The fort's locked down so we can't get to them right now anyway, though personally I'm tempted to shoot the black wearing one if there is one. He was the one the fey said tortured the kobold after all."
((pending outcome, assuming a 'scare off' is decided))
Kyrie made her way up onto the battlements and gave a wave, "Hey there! You said something about... us not being here? Must make you feel so proud to do a lot of shouting with nothing to back up what you say!"

Subject: Staring contest
From behind Alexis, Fox was poised. She was in position behind Alexis, ready to move if it was needed. Yes, she was ready. Even though she did not appear to have a weapon in hand, she was ready. She stared back at the snake, golden, warm blooded eyes peering at cold blooded motionless eyes.
If a weapon must be drawn, make the draw mortal. At least in the case of a blade.
Well, it was the ideal anyway. Whether or not Fox could actually pull it off was another question entirely. She had never attempted such a thing before.
And it turned out she wouldn't have to try that time. A splash later, and the snake was gone. Fox quickly stepped back, anticipating Alexis potentially turning around.
"All things considered, that went fairly uneventfully." Fox observed, her voice warm and giving a warm smile. "Shall we continue?"

Subject: Kyrie doesn't know much about decomposition of animals
Once again, Kyrie's shovel proved its worth, giving a very final smack to the wyrm that had preoccupied itself with Miguel. "You okay there, Miguel?" She asked, holding out her hand to keep him steady as he untangled himself from the now-dead creature.
After a pause to relax in their victory, the question came up of where to go from there.
Kyrie scratched at the back of her head, "Well, we wanted to get the boar's body back as quick as we could because it would've rotted, should we do the same with these things?" She asked, indicating the wyrms. "I know they're more scaly, but if we cut off the heads, it does make a big opening to their inside, which I think rot first. Like spiders."
Walking up to Frodrick she lay a hand on his shoulder, "I know you're sturdy, but don't push yourself too hard, okay?" Kyrie gave a smile, letting the healing energy flow into the dwarf's body (results already covered by GM post above). "I'll have to jog more to train myself to keep up." She chuckled. Knowing Kyrie, it probably wasn't a joke.

“We're all gonna die,” chirped the bird.
Nona let out the breath she didn't realize she had been holding and stepped forward. “Well, ladies? And Zwei.” She added the latter with a glance to the fetchling. She drew a bolt from her pouch and loaded it into her crossbow. “Are we going to stand here like a gaggle of timid livestock, or shall we proceed?” Nona gave the mechanism a tug until it locked into place.
“Uh, forgive me if I don't lead the way. Goblins are notorious ankle biters and my shins have a terribly low tolerance for perforation.”
Fox gave a cat-like grin, "Just considering our options." On a more serious note she added, "Sticking to the trail might not be the best bet."
"Even though the goblins might not stray so close to the city." Fox elaborated, "There was word wandering about of another creature. Presumably a carnivore, and sheer white in colour. With any luck it will stand out against the marsh. Something to keep an eye out for while we head down the trail. It was last seen along it."
Despite the sense of trepidation she felt, Fox felt alert. Her instincts would be her strongest asset, should anything happen.
"That being said, I'm not keen on trying to make a trail through the marsh myself. Getting stuck in a bog would be more troublesome." Fox decided, leading the way down the New Fish Trail. Despite her outwardly carefree tone, her eyes scanned her surroundings carefully. She wasn't about to just lower her guard.

- Abyssals/Sidereals/Alchemicals - Part of the Exalted Setting. I don't really know how to use it yet, but the 'races' are fascinating.

Subject: Charge! (not the action, you know what I mean)
Kyrie wasn't sure if the weed from earlier was more frightening than the tatzlwyrm. What she was sure of, though, was that in the face of uncertain danger, she needed to face it directly. After all, being directly in the way means that other people aren't being attacked. Usually.
Except, Frodrick got to the front before her. Guess there is quite the speed difference with having a ride. Kyrie thought, trusty shovel in hand as she stubbornly continued her way forward.
She would make it to the melee! Eventually. When she did get there, she'd try to swipe at the wyrm's neck with the edge of her shovel. The goal was to get its head, right?

Violet rubbed the back of her head in slight embarrassment, "Well, how does this sound? Asher and I could try to sneak up on Shadow's Roost. That way we can find out if he is actually there, or if it's a false trail, and I can try to map the pathway. If we're lucky we may be able to find out more."
Vi paused, "Does anybeast know Ratrug? I mean, more than what you've already told us? It's not really like a vermin to appear out of nowhere..."
Suddenly getting a thought, Violet looked at Fenrir and Ribbon, "If it goes in weekly cycles, they should appear again soon. I think we should try to have some sort of safe place for the workers. If the attackers target the wagons, we could reduce injuries by leaving the wagons empty. Another option as well would be to set up volunteer groups of slingers. If we can knock Ratrug off of the owl, well, then he doesn't have an owl directly protecting him, and more importantly, they become separated."
"As weird as it sounds, I'm hoping we can just talk to the owl directly." Vi admitted, "Ratrug's intent, well that's been shown. Vermin just wants money and infamy. That of the owl... we don't know. We don't know anything about the owl."

Subject: Suspicions confirmed
Catie could hear the brother's conversation where she was, working in the kitchen. It was hard not to. But they didn't really hold her attention. Her attention was on Lilianna, and Angela.
That appetite... that is definitely more than would be considered normal. Catie thought to herself as she observed firsthand the visible results of Angela's metabolism needs. Think... was there anything about impacts on metabolism?
Catie, however, did not pursue that line of thought, seeing Lilianna falter, plate falling to the ground, as she started crying.
Oh dear. Catie thought, her face sympathetic. She had guessed that Lilianna was under a lot of pressure. Moving quickly, she left her position in the kitchen, after making sure she turned the stove off, just as a precaution, moving to Lilianna's side. Catie didn't care how she looked at that point, Lilianna's emotional health was her concern.
Catie moved beside Lilianna, and, very gently, enough to let her pull away if she wanted, tried to hug her.
Seeing Angela jump to action at the same time as everyone converged, Catie would try to call "Stand down, Angela! Seth is just doing his duty!"
"I WANT DANIEL!!!!" Lilianna cries out through the tears.
"Daniel?" AJ says his eyes going wide..
"Daniel?" Rick repeats with the same expression.
Seth lowers the gun, "Lilianna. You told me he left you and ..."
"I lied! I lied about the kidnapping. I lied about Daniel. I lied to protect him. I lied to protect myself. I keep lying and hoping it will get better but it won't get better..." she sobbed uncontrollably, falling to the ground of the galley. "I've lost him."
"You have time." Catie spoke, her voice soft as she kneeled beside Lilianna, trying to be reassuring and calm her down, "Breathe. In, and out. There is still time."
Time for what, well, Catie wasn't entirely sure herself. All she knew then, with regards to Lilianna's situation, was that it was time to unravel the truth. Keeping up with her lies was putting way too much stress on her.
"You asked for help." Catie whispered, "But people cannot help if they don't know what really happened. Let them know. Share your story."
