Topic: ~Crimson Blood~
Subject: Pretty Day
It is morning, and the sun slowly peeks its shy light over and into the valley. The little girl has been watching throughout the night, watching the world as it flows around her. She didn't need sleep, and so she didn't sleep, but she still liked to dream, something that could only occur in sleep.
It is early, still a bit too early to go shopping, but that could wait; there is movement to notice. The crimson woman, awake already, on the move already. The little girl is surprised; she didn't really expect there to be any hurry. Back in the tavern, the woman seems to wait, while eating her breakfast. The man quickly reappears, also having his own meal. The little girl wonders if she too should enter.
Time to change? The girl questions, No, not yet; I don't have a reason to. She reasons, Perhaps they'll notice me, perhaps they'll not; either way, it is better to just watch in the beginning.
The little girl playfully thinks about playing a poltergeist, but it is just a thought, and one that is not acted upon, leaving the two below to their own conversation and meals.

Subject: To Bury a Fragment of Hatred
Somewhere Between Wanqir and Aqinarr
Plains of Tiancann
Three Hours before Twilight
As Dusk's hand glows whiter with each jewel he touches, the tiger looks onwards with a cautious interest.
"Here." Dusk intones, gently touching the tiger to allow the healing energies to transfer.
The effect is immediate. The arrows remaining simply fall out of the tiger's body, the wounds closing behind them. The tiger stands, testing her newly healed body. After a few leaps and strides, she turns back to Dusk, gratitude shining in her eyes.
"In his quest for vengeance, hatred blinded this man," said the elf, half to himself and half an explanation to the child, now an orphan. "Werecreatures destroyed him and he felt it only fitting to destroy them in turn. Despite his blind hatred, he should not have to rot as a slain beast left to waste. Either find sufficient stone to create a cairn or we shall find enough fuel to burn the corpse and bury the weapons."
The young tiger nods her understanding, and dashes over a ways, her body language, even if not human, easily interpreted for Dusk to follow.
(presuming Dusk follows)
The young tiger takes Dusk over to a clearing, not far from where the hunter's body lay, where grass doesn't seem to want to grow very well. Pawing the ground, the tiger reveals the area to be well covered with stone, possibly a remnant of some ancient house. With a bit of pursuasion of the ground and picking at it, the tiger proceeds to dig up a large number of stone fragments. Easily enough to form a cairn.
Underneath the layer of stones, the young tiger's paws hit wood. It is a flat, rectangle rotting wooden piece, possibly a chest.

"So Tell Me Friend Tenarr ... Are You Able To Provide Me A Better Sling ... For This ... Weapon?"
Tenarr nods, "I've been meaning to improve the one Xira uses, but she never bothers listening to me, not that many people do apart from Ken anyway."
"Here Are The Five Gold Coins I Have Been Trying To Give You For Watching My Things ... And Another Five Gold Coins For A Proper Sling If You Can Manage!"
Tenarr gives a modest bow, "I thank you for your patronage." Formalities aside, Tenarr straightens and gives a smile, "Don't worry, I should have it ready for you by morning."
"Now While You Attend To That Special Sling ... If You Can ... I Will Take A Much Needed Nap!"
"Right!" Tenarr says, "I'll be back in the morning then."
With that, Tenarr leaves the room, letting Manalagna rest.

Topic: Silent Hill: Eternal Decay
Subject: Ouch!
Cindi nearly stumbles upon colliding her toe with a stone thing in the way. Only her familiarity with high heels prevents her from falling. Cindi winces at the impact, feeling the pain move up her foot, making it difficult to stand. She crouches down, to lessen the pressure, when the object in question catches her eye.
A tombstone. No, it's only a piece. -ton? or Ton-? or -ton-? And what's this doing all the way over here? Cindi wonders.
Wait... what was the chance that... no, it couldn't be, and even if it was, it wouldn't do any good to voice her suspicion to the group. It would be unnerving, unsettling at the very least, and it isn't even a for-sure thing. No, it would be better if she just remembers this for now; without the rest of the stone, there were many possibilities, and it would do no good if the group were to assume anything just based on coincidence... and yet...
There is no such thing as coincidence. Cindi thinks to herself. She briefly reaches into a side pocket in her backpack, and pulls out that card, the White card. No, there were no coincidences.
Putting the card away, Cindi gets up and jogs a bit faster to catch up with the others. Hank didn't look too well. That too can't be a coincidence.
"Hank? Are you alright?" Cindi asks, thinking about the wound she had bandaged earlier, as well as the thing that inflicted it.
I should check for disinfectant in that first aid kit. Cindi thinks, But... would that be enough? Cindi pulls out the kit, looking for a vial of hydrogen peroxide or some other disinfectant.

Topic: Valdary - Bardess of Bhriuthainn
Subject: A Poem for the Poet, and Another for All
A Wish
Life is born, then fades unto death,
Sometimes it is too quick, like a single breath.
You, I haven't met, and now we may not,
But your memory will remain; an image to be caught.
In eyes and in ears, you are still here,
Even if in time you will not be near.
Flowers will fade; Darkness will invade,
But everlasting will be what you have made.
Hold no regrets and carry no pain,
Even if tears flow in the rain.
The threads of life tie everyone together,
Even moreso in the worst weather.
My only wish, is that I could have said hi,
Without in the same sentence say goodbye.
Pain and Reflection
Long lost scars, never truly gone,
A part of us, and lasting for an eon.
Pain washing away, as time flows true,
And allowing us to do what we need to do.
Gather the tears, and the hope inside,
Listening, wanting the truth defied.
Lay it aside and let the mind rest,
And use it now for the deed that is best.
Now gather the droplets, the things to know,
Use it for rebirth, allowing new life to grow.
Use what is now to make better tomorrow,
And ensure that life grows, even in the sorrow.

The little girl, seated comfortably on her perch outside, feels her heart race as another enters and encounters the crimson person. He was clearly a traveler, perhaps similar to herself, even if he is more human than she is.
Like her, this man felt something about the crimson woman, and chose to perhaps acquaint himself with her. I wonder how it is, to be a stranger, and seen in this world. The girl thinks, Perhaps I should try it... later.
The girl continues to watch, reading the lips of the people inside, as she continues to sit alone, in silence.

Willow paid the man for the bracelet and slipped it on her wrist. Then she reached overtly across the table and picked up the box, looking at it thoughtfully. After a moment, no doubt with the young girl watching her every move, she bends over and hands it to the girl, "Go ahead and pay the man.
"Oh wow! Really? Thank you soooo much!" The girl is almost ecstatic with happiness.
"The only condition is that I get to see the future first. Does that sound fair to you?" Willow stated more than asked. Sure she was earning her luck, but the child need not think that this had been something for nothing.
The girl nods and smiles, "That's fair. Do you have somewhere I can use these?"
(presuming Willow invites the girl back to the barracks)
"Alright! I'll follow you." The girl says.
(at the barracks, I apologize for kind of fastforwarding, but I'd like to move on to the future sight ^_^)
After a bit of pestering, Yin finally accepts the bracelet offered him by Willow.
"I really didn't expect to receive a gift in response." Yin stammers, "Really, thank you... for everything."
Yin takes the bracelet, and wanders off to his own room.
The girl pulls the corner desk out so that it is in the center of the room and not in line with the door. She angles the desk strangely, so that it is in line with the four directions. She sits in the desk's chair on the West side, indicating for Willow to sit on the East side (on her bed).
The girl lifts the top of the wooden box to reveal three stacks of cards, their backs, painted a royal red, showing on the top. Delicately, yet elegantly and unhesitantly, the girl takes each of the three stacks, and shuffles them on the table, spreading them out, all face down.
"Please shuffle these cards until you are satisfied." The girl begins.
When Willow does, she finds that despite the large number of cards, somehow they are easy to shuffle.
"Please take thirteen cards, any of them." The girl instructs once Willow stops.
When Willow does so, the girl sets the rest of the cards aside.
"Alright, now shuffle them." After this is done, the girl continues" Now, place three of them in a row in front of me, three in front of you, three towards the north, and three towards the south, leaving a single one in the middle."
At the end of this, the cards are arranged in a bizarre pattern.
| [] [] [] | | | [] [] [] | [] | [] [] [] | | [] [] [] | |
Looking at Willow directly in the eyes, calmly, almost reassuringly, the girl finishes, "Now, the only thing left is for you to ask a question, it doesn't even have to be aloud; leave the rest to me."
(Ohyeah... I forgot to put this earlier, but you have 40 abouts gp left (360 on the bracelet and 100 on the cards))

Subject: Oooh, Noticed
Their eyes meet. The girl nearly gasps as the person in red looks directly at her. Not just anyone can intuitively notice me She thinks.
Her curiousity provoked, the girl memorizes this person, taking in their appearance. Whenever she visited a world, she often found that there is one individual she would end up being involved with, despite the fact that she tried very hard not to interfere with that world. Her curiousity would always get her involved in things her common sense would otherwise dictate as unsafe. Still, it made things interesting, and she didn't mind.
The little girl looks up at the sky. It's dark, I'd imagine the stores are closed now. She reasons, Well, I'll just stay here then.
Getting up, so she wouldn't be knocked against by some wanderer, the girl flies over to the roof on the building opposite, and sits there, watching inside the tavern. Her small and light body hardly disturbs the roof, barely even nudging a shingle.

Subject: Unseen, Unheard, and Unknown
Day falls towards night, and night holds her closely in his comforting care and embrace. The little girl, invisible to most eyes, had seen many of these despite her age. What drew her to this world, she didn't know, and she wouldn't know until she found out!
Her wings beating softly in the air, too light for even the owl to tell, the girl flies through the town, letting anything and everything catch her eye. There, who was that? Through the tavern's window, the little girl can see someone who stands out. Red, crimson red, an uncommon colour for common people.
Finding a spot to sit outside, the girl, invisible to all, watches inside. She wasn't hungry; she didn't need to eat, so she didn't need to enter and alert others to her presence. If she decided to enter, she would later, but now is too early to tell. Curiousity draws the girl to stay, and so she does.
OOC: No description yet because she hasn't been seen ^_^

From the tip of the scythe, small droplets of the wolf's blood form and drop to the ground.
Drip
Linnix's lips curl into a vindictive smile as she sees the wound she inflicted upon her adversary.
Drip
Linnix raises the scythe once more deliberately.
Drip
With a strong swing, Linnix slashes down diagonally in front of her with the scythe.

Cindi's eyes widen with surprise, "You didn't say anything about your father BEING there! All you said was he WAS there, so I assumed you meant he..."
Cindi shakes her head, feeling calmer, reassured by Chris's reasoning, "OK, I'm sorry. I'll go when you're ready."
Cindi nods to the others, "Yes, I have tried playing the flute again, and I think I've tried every note, but nothing's changed."
Cindi pulls out the item in question, the solid metal flute. "The strange thing is it was made out of tune, yet I still have it... I don't even know why I have it."

Linnix cries out sharply when she is bitten.
"Bad dog!" She shrieks, her eyes easily matching the wolf's with malevolence.
Dropping her crossbow, she reaches over her back for a more potent item. She draws the scythe in a fluid motion, although her attacks with it will prove to be far less fluid. She slashes across with the scythe, trying to bear it down upon the overgrown dog, despite the fact that she isn't exactly knowledgeable of how to use the weapon.

Subject: To Heal Death
Haunted by the past? The little girl thinks to herself, Seems that way... but how do you heal that? You can't... at least I can't.
She flies over towards the stable. It appeared the stranger is a very interesting person, with an unknown history. However, he would not be able to see the resolution if he chose a premature end. The girl draws out her silver scimitar from her enchanted bag. With a few mystical words, she sends it to hover into the air, and into view. Remember, you aren't alone. The girl thinks as she sends it down towards the stable door, angling itself to shine direct moonlight upon the stranger and catch his eye.

Subject: Cannot Wait
Cindi looks over at Hank, and voices what is likely the biggest concern of the group, "I... don't think it will just go away, at least not just with us sitting around and not doing anything."
Cindi winces, and states her own opinion, "Feel free to correct me, but I think that the darkness came because I played my flute. That's the only thing that really happened before it came at anyrate that I know of, and it came so quickly too."
"My heart tells me this darkness won't go away until we make it. I don't know where to start to try to do that, but in any case, I cannot wait. Like I said, I'm not pushing you to come along with me as it's a personal thing, but I have to go. I must." Cindi's eyes are unfocused, almost haunted, as she says this.

Subject: Shop of the Unknown
Aqinarr City
Merchant's District - Side Alley
Three and Three Quarter Hours before Twilight
As Willow walks up to the shop, the conversation can be heard between the elderly merchant and the young customer.
"Oh wow, really?" The girl asks.
The man nods with a smile, "Yes, quite so. These new bracelets do have unique powers, but..."
Willow can see that even though the girl's eyes are momentarily caught by the bracelets the man holds up, she always looks back to the wooden box.
The man smiles, "You are still intent on getting these aren't you?"
The girl nods enthusiastically, "Yeah! I've been saving for almost two years now! I'm sure I'll get enough soon."
The man shakes his head, "Are you really sure you want these?" Then noticing Willow, the man straightens to look up at her, "Yes? Can I help you?"
"Could you tell me what is in that box?" Willow asks of the man.
However, before the man can answer, the little girl speaks up, "It holds four identical decks of cards, along with eight unique ones. Each deck has thirty four cards and each card is hand painted with a pretty picture. Once every week, you can use the deck to predict the future, but doing so requires another person."
The girl strains her neck, looking up at Willow, and smiles sheepishly, "Hehehe, I've kind of memorized how to use those cards."
The man nods, almost sadly, "Yes, this young one is quite keen on getting it."
As Willow inspects the one bracelet, the man follows her gaze, "Ah, you have a warrior's taste."
He picks up and offers the bracelet forward for Willow to see more clearly. Along the top and bottom of the band, the silver is folded in along itself, forming an intricate pattern of almost a woven silk rope along its edge. Along the back of the band, opposite the engraved design, is inscribed a single word in runelike script.
FRPCPEUAV
The man explains the bracelet's power, "Once each day, you can call upon this item's power, and it will grant you a small boon. It isn't very much, granted, since it is a lesser magic, but it is far better than nothing. It will slightly improve one's accuracy, and also the strength with which one wields a blade."
"If you are interested in purchasing it, its price is 360gp." The man says.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Fight or Flight
Linnix heart races. Quiet. It is far too quiet!
Panic sets in, grasping her heart and making it pulse even faster. In the silence of the night, her heartbeat drowns out everything else. Linnix nearly bolts, only not doing so because she can think coherently enough to know that it'd be worse out of the light.
There they are. The hunters... Their growls nearly strum all of Linnix's tightened nerves. They all look somewhere behind where Linnix is looking. Dare she look? Too late.
A werewolf, perhaps three. These are clearly the leaders of this pack. Linnix fervently wishes she was not there.
“You have intruded upon our hunting grounds, and attacked my kin without provocation."
Linnix twitches. What?!
Incredulously she shouts, "Just what have you been eating? Toadstools that look like fairy heads? Or do you only think they look that way because your red eyes can't see straight? Sure, running around growling and snarling like... I don't know... like you're trying to woo a she-wolf isn't provocation at all. No of course not, how silly of us to mistake that as you threatening us."
Indignation in her eyes, Linnix crams a silver bolt in her crossbow and fires it, aiming at the leader's mouth, "Eat this."

Cindi nods thankfully towards Delilah, "Thank you."
Cindi then addresses the group, "I'm not pushing us to go, and if you feel we should go elsewhere, that's fine."
Immediately after saying these words, Cindi feels doubt gnawing at her mind. What if Meera is alright? How long would she stay alright? Cindi shivers again, her serene appearance shattered by the motion. She can't just forget about Meera!
"I'm sorry," Cindi murmurs, "I can't concentrate."
Cindi takes in a deep breath, "I'm sorry... I said I wasn't going to push us to go, but I have to go. I just can't push Meera out of my mind."
Cindi bites her lip, "It would undoubtedly be safer if we went together, but this is something that I have to do, and I don't think you should just be dragged along because of me..."

One was down, the other too soon to fall. Satisfied, Galen decides to sit this battle out, but then he notices that Jeremy is devoid of the torch he had received earlier, and Ben's had been quenched. Jeremy must've dropped his Galen notes and reasons, We'll need more than one torch for sure.
Galen exits the little room, notes the fallen and quickly burning out torch, and picks it up.

Ita is about to answer Ignis, when suddenly Feni growls, and Ita's ears twitch.
"There's another one!" Ita shouts, jumping to her feet.
Dashing through the trees, another Linsemptus Scout runs forward, to punch Sable in the back, however Sable quickly avoids the blow by blocking it with his own, better technique.
Feni is the first to react, moving to the side to allow Ita a clearer shot. The Linsemptus Scout brings back its arm, forming another serrated blade. Wildly, it swings it down, just barely missing Sable as he avoids the blow.
((New combat... everyone except Ita and Feni are currently sitting... anyway, do your best!))

“Well,” Si-Di began, “We should make our way to the Administrator’s place if we are to dine with him this evening. Maybe he has news for us.” Her tone sounded as if she wasn’t confident that Namor could provide any help with their problems.
“Kavtan,” she asked, “I am sure you know where we can find the Administrator.. please lead on.”
Ninkanna nods, ready to follow the two others to the shared destination.

"I know this place," she whispered, staring through the dark at nothing, the thousand yard stare of those who have survived terrible things. "I... I grew up here. Over...Over by the florist. My father was a gravedigger. But I don't... that's all I have."
Cindi looks at Hank sharply, "I live here too... my flat is over by Jack's Inn."
Cindi's voice trails off, "I wonder what happened to Meera... I hope she's OK."
Cindi begins to fidget slightly. Half of her wanted to run over to her apartment and see if Meera is alright. To hold the kitten fondly. Yet, another part of her can't help but wonder if Meera is even alive now, and doesn't want to split up the group.
Cindi turns to the assembled group, her foxlike face distracted, not really paying attention, "I'm sorry, I'm just worried about my cat. I know she... might not be alive... but..."
Cindi bites her lip. It probably seems a bit irrational to the others, but how is she supposed to help it? Meera could be alive, and the kitten would be very comforting. In a way... Cindi cares for Meera almost as though Meera is her daughter. Cindi shivers. She is uncertain what do to.

Topic: Welcome or Not!
Subject: Shaken
The girl follows the chit-chat, and although the voices are muffled by the window pane, she can still hear quite well. Oooh, this is exciting. Mysteries, mistakes... she definitely picked the right time to visit this world.
Then, suddenly, her heart goes cold and she nearly falls out of the air. How could that she have been seen? That just wasn't possible by normal means.
This is dangerous. Half of her wanted to world-shift right then and there. There would be no doubt many creatures and people would try to take advantage of her abilities if she were to be caught. Panicking, the girl flies quickly from the house.
I should just finish that tiara, and wander to a different world; I've been here far too long. She thinks. Or maybe the other way around... I can always make jewellery at my house...
However, her curiousity wouldn't let it go. This world just could possibly have that one flower somewhere... It is said that the flower enhances healing capabilities, which would be a wonderful thing to have.
Ohhh, decisions, decisions... the girl stops and hovers in the air. She had gone very far, and was over the road where the fight earlier that day had taken place. The little sylph considers it. Even if the man saw her, and knew what she was, the man seemed to be one to keep to their own business. Well, if things go badly, I can always fly away and world-shift. The girl reasons between her fear and curiousity, Either way, I won't know how this plays out until they do play out, and I've taken risks before.
Reaching a compromise, although she is still feeling very insecure, the girl slowly heads back to the house. She is so nervous that she doesn't even try sleeping. Thankfully, she doesn't need to sleep.
