I just wanted to go home and I suddenly knew what streets to take. It was like the whole route home suddenly laid itself out in front of me. And I took off running. And I didn’t look back, all the time wondering if those things would catch up to me. But they didn’t.” She looked down, embarrassed. “I’m rambling, aren’t I? But I keep wondering why I escaped--and if I had hesitated, if there had been more of the shadows, if they had been faster.” She shook her head. “It’s all so overwhelming. And my life is complicated enough as it is. But I need to know more about my Persona as long as I have it.

Not Quite Dead Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 NPC: Police Investigation There was a small trumpet sitting on the bed, strangely untouched. NPC: Alleyway of Horrors Something screamed. Guttural. Primal. Horrifying. The tongue, once forgotten, streaked out of the darkness once more, its sickly mass striking against the ladder and against the wall behind, shattering apart everything its way with pure strength. ICWell, their escape hadn't worked out too well. She was drenched in sweat, thin clothes soaked through. Trembling too from the exhaustive task of maintaining a Persona for extended times and fighting for her life. Which, by the way, looked awfully forfeit right now. The golems still outnumbered them. Lauren's illusions had proven ineffective and they were being worn down, slowly but surely. Time for a saving throw, right? Right now, she was pondering the importance of the abyssal tongue. It had not been fooled by the illusion, leading her to believe it lacked eyes. Heck, the possibility of there being a literal gateway to some furtherunderworld than this one at the end of the alleyway was terrifying, it also gave her an idea. Perhaps the malignant tongue was controlling the golems in some way. Perhaps even, it could be attacked... Something about it's form and movements reminded her of a serpent. At the realization, Ascalon began to glow bright as the noon sun in St George's increasingly incorporeal hands. She decided that even if it was a last ditch effort, she was at the last ditch right now... Charging the lance with all his remaining energy, her Persona threw it with all his might at the far off base of the serpentine hydrostat, resembling now a cruise missile more than a lance.

25K Now! Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 NPC: Velvet Room With a low chuckle, the hunchback waved his hand across the desk between them, in an instant changing the tarot of Temperance into a different card. It was embroidered similarly to the tarots that he had produced earlier, but where the arcana was once located now held the image of Channah's Persona, the slender, robed woman. "Lady Miriam," said Igor, steepling his gloved hands once more. "A bearer of water, it appears." His eyes stared up into Channah's, the bloodshot sclerae seemingly pulsing. "A rejuvenator, protector and guide all at once ... do you believe it to be fitting, Ms. Maklouf?"

I guide...that must have been how I knew the way home.” Channah frowned, looking harder at the card--as if that would make it give up it’s secrets. There was something appropriate about it, something balanced--the Lord knew Channah needed more of that in her life. She had no idea what the other things that Igor had mentioned meant though. “How exactly do I, uh, do the other things?” Edited June 4, 2015 by Mel Quote There's a dozen selves inside you, trying to be the one to run the dials [BZPRPG Profiles] Hatchi - Talli - Ranok - Lucira - Ferellis - Morie - Fanai - Akiyo - Yukie - Shuuan - Ilykaed - Pradhai - Ipsudir And some aren't even on your side.

Krayzikk Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 IC: It was, truth be told, an exceedingly average day. His last class had ended about twenty minutes before, he had no pressing assignments, and he wasn't scheduled for work that afternoon. So without much direction, he wandered towards one of the exists to the university building. A single ear bud trailed from his ear, music playing at a low volume as he walked. Despite being hundreds of miles from home, his time at college actually had managed to be more peaceful (so far) than his life back home had been. Senior year in particular had seen some bizarre things. Adam enjoyed the peace. His path took him by a particularly dreary classroom, quadratics dimly audible through the wall, just as someone else was making their escape. "What's up, Des?"

The student commented with a grin, slipping his earbud out and back into his pockets. Adam wasn't even remotely surprised by her abrupt, and not quite sanctioned, exit. He'd been tempted to do the same more than once. "I'll come along. No need to pay, though, I brought my wallet."

She opened up her car door and, as she always did upon entering a car, stood up on the driver's seat, sucked in a few last breaths of air that hadn't been percolating in her car for hours, and then dropped herself with a playful oomph onto the sun-baked leather.

Adam tossed his bag into the backseat without worrying about where it landed (anything that could break in there already had), and slipped into the passenger seat. The wave of heat was instantaneous, and omnipresent; the seat, the air, the dashboard, seatbelt, everything was warmer than was really comfortable. "And I will pay for however many I want. Thanks."

shadow pridak money gang Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 IC: Desde grinned cockily and finally pushed her blue-tinged bangs away from her eyes. After letting the engine run for a couple seconds she felt comfortable enough to turn on the air conditioning without getting another blast of hot air, and instantly she felt herself growing more comfortable in the seat. Even if he wasn't as obvious about it, she was pretty sure Adam felt the same. Growing up in a relatively moist western US didn't really prepare you for the dry heat of al-Bareha, and that dry heat would slip into anything it could.

Contrary to expectations, it actually kept her more focused on the road, and by the time they took the right at the library she was leaning back slightly in her seat, one wrist slung over the wheel to steer it haphazardly when required. The other hand had balled up a fist by the window controls while she told him about her day and initial plans for the evening.
