We Are Our Avatars X (Closed, Ended)

[Silence]

Village Church - Day 14 - 11:24

Anik followed Timea, shuffling her feet along the floor.

After a little bit of walking, she chuckled, and said: "Seems like we did it. We brought the sun back. Kind of accidentally, but still ...
I just hope that this new Calibeth won't be this aggressive."

Village - Day 11 - 16:05

When Quan Chi entered the village inn, he would find it to be less deserted than the roadside inn. There would be a few people, all Calibethan, sitting around the place, talking to one another.

As she walked, Timea reverted her height back to its default.

Leaving the church, Timea walked down the hill, and sat down at its foot. After igniting the fires again, she rested her elbows on her knees, and cupped her hands together, resting her chin on this. "I'm certain he will be, if Atarakah's words are true. Not that it would matter, there would be war, even without Calibeth.

Still, at least now, we'll have the opportunity to speak to him. I no longer think this will accomplish what we want, but if we may as well, just to get the full picture of the conflict." After saying this, Timea let out a weak snicker. "And I won't have to rely on this magic fire any more, so that's good."

 

[Silence]

Village - Day 14 - 11:24

"... I don't know.

You know, you just made an act by "doing nothing", which you so highly speak of. You speak of war like it is nothing ... and then you only kill when necessary?" Anik said, slightly angry, more confused.

"Sorry, I don't understand this any more ... I understand your reasoning, why you said the things to Et which you did. But ... you speak like nothing matters anyways. We can just lean back, watch the war, or run away the whole time. This is getting noone nowhere.
We can get the full picture from him, if we even find him ... he might just stay the sun for now. Like he was before he started a dynasty. So don't get your hopes up about this. And I don't really want to speak to a warlord anyways ....

Or is this just bitterness talking?" she added, now worried.

Village Inn, day 11, 16:05
Quan Chi looked over the inn's patrons, looking for anyone that knew how to use a weapon of a spell as he sat in a quiet corner.

[color=9f2089]"I meant more to see what you could do. Mine's not even noticeable at this point, and Robin completely gave up."[/color] Cybil said as she led Zephy back outside.

"It might be. This hasn't been a good day for us, thus far", Timea stated, casting a sideways glance to Anik. "We've just been dealt a significant set back. ... Even if I suspected it would end like this, from the very start."

After saying this, Timea was quiet for a moment, then blew a small sigh. "If it seems like I don't think much of war, it is because I don't. You may stop a war, but to what end? What does it get you? A short time of peace, before somewhere, someone will start another. You can't stop conflict, to try is to set yourself up for failure. It's nice to imagine a world without conflict, but this is not realistic. Where there is life, there will be fighting. Where there is life that forms groups, this conflict will take on a larger scale."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Village - Day 11 - 16:05

Quan Chi would find nobody in the inn who knew how to fight well, or perform any sort of magic.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Village, day 11, 16:05
Quan Chi looked to the innkeeper. "I'm looking for mercenaries, soldiers, fighters. Do you know where I may find some?"

 

[Silence]

Village - Day 14 - 11:25

Anik stayed quiet to the first thing, not knowing what to say.

As Timea explained the second thing, however, Anik got angry: "I don't want to stop all conflict. I know I can't. But you know how what you says does feel to me?

It does feel like all you said to me was a lie. Like I'm a part of life that forms groups, so I will be always fighting. So I might as well have stayed the person I was, so I did not have to feel things when fighting. Like I could not change, even if I wanted to. That I might not even try to not start a war where the possibilty of war might exist. Because it would be pointless.

That I might as well start wars to safe myself. ... That I might as well keep on killing. That trying to change is pointless. Or am I the exception? The only, single, human, who could change, if she would just stay out of civilization, and only hunt like you?

I don't get it. If I don't try to stop wars where I can, what am I better than a person who does kill multiple people herself?"

Having vented this out of her system, Anik stopped and sat herself down, not caring where it was. She sobbed quietly. "Damn this world. We did not even really have the chance to stop the war."

"If you're looking for mercenaries, try asking on Kaisir. There aren't going to be many in farming villages." the innkeeper replied.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Village, day 11, 16:06
"Where is Kaisir?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Village - Day 11 - 16:06

"To the west, across the sea."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Village, day 11, 16:06
"And the nearest port?"

Zephy followed after, looking toward the ball. [color=46e16f] "Really? Then I'll come up with something. If it's something I'm able to decipher, I should be able to pass it onto you." [/color] She replied, dropping the persona and getting visibly more focused.

Vala - Day 11 - 10:41

[color=9f2089]"I don't think it works like that."[/color] Cybil replied and shook her head. [color=9f2089]"The different disciplines of magic all seem to require different methods, so unless our magical affinity in this system are exactly the same, the same methods of use won't apply to both of us."[/color]

 

[DotSlash]

Vala - Day 11, 10:42

The blonde slowly seated herself on the ground and crossed her legs, eyes closed. She didn't open them. [color=46e16f] "Given how different our abilities are to begin with... I guess that makes it a moot point. A shame, but you'll likely work something out. You are my sister, after all." [/color]

As she meditated, a soft wind would blow around the blonde catgirl.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Vala, day 11, 10:42
Robin noticed the wind picking up around them, buttoning up his cloak.

 

[Drakmorg]

Vala - Day 11 - 10:43

[color=9f2089]"Yeah, probably will."[/color] Cybil kept her response brief to allow Zephy an easier time of concentrating.

 

[DotSlash]

Vala - Day 11, 12:43

Zephy kept at her meditation for a large swathe of time. In that period of two hours, the ball of skymetal had only lit up about twice or so. When it did, there were three mirror images of Zephy situated right behind her, each one getting less visible down the line. the mirages only appeared for a few seconds before they faded.

After the focus, Zephy sighed and breathed in deeply. The time had taken a bit out of her. [color=46e16f] "...I need more time to get the hang of it..." [/color] The air stilled while there was the soft growl of a stomach. Zephy blushed fiercely and looked down. [color=46e16f] That... wasn't refined at all... Oh dear... [/color]
