silo Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 IC: Snake - The Rebellion, Kaam I turn at the sound of voices near me, taking my hands away from my eyes. The forest is almost as dark, with only the Moon's frosting and a deep blue stippling of sky visible between the canopy above. Half turned as I am, body sprawled on the ground under a blanket, I listen in to the conversation. I'm too tired to engage with it at the moment, but I let the words drift in as I wait for my breathing to return to normal. While I listen I think about my own problems. Something that's been on my own mind recently is the Kaita. I feel like I should talk more to Shield and Jayar: directly after the Kaita (well, after I'd got over my paranoia...) there was a sense of camaraderie I'd never felt before. But over the last week or so I feel like I've lost track of them, not had time or motivation to sit down and really, properly talk to either of them. I must understand them better than anyone else here, and vice versa, yet I haven't spoken to them much more than anyone else. My mind wanders for a second to Xara. I'll be honest, I never knew her that well, but...It's funny, sometimes the farther removed from a person you are, the more you like them. It's like you suddenly remember how much you have in common, even if you don't enjoy their actual company. Me and Xara didn't really know or like each other, it's true, but we shared a common goal and...well, maybe that's more important than anything else. And there's the simple fact that we've lost one of our own. It reminded me how...mortal we are. It reminded me how strong a force simple, stupid accident can be. I wonder where she is now... And then I think for a moment about Kat, and more generally the future of this situation. But just considering it gives me a feeling of dread, like I want to push the thought away as quickly as possible. I've never been very good about thinking of the long term. So I turn back to the conversation. Quote . Kathok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UltimoScorp Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) IC Kat: She jumped, evidentally startled out of whatever trance she'd been in. She looked at Shield, eyes tired, spines drooped. "Wha- Nothing. I'm doing my best not to think about anything right now." It wasn't untrue, though everything weighed on her mind. Xara missing. Hoto spirited away. Everyone else bickering. And her. The failed leader. The one who had dragged everyone into this for some ###### foolish idealistic crusade. She looked away again. IC Percy: Dodge. Again, again, again, agai-Leap! Ina zigzag pattern, Percy moved in on Exxan, and made to tackle the other Rahk. Edited February 24, 2017 by Strider!

Or should I say, our? Heheh~ Shut. Up.S-s-stop d-distracting him, D-deceit. Shut up, Green. You're lucky I didn't ###### you up after I failed to kill his friend. Both of you shut up!...Silence.I felt my mind going back to the past."You remember Visorak?" I said, suddenly.I wanted to distract her, as well as myself.I looked down at my wrist, where part of my paint had been scraped off, revealing the stark white underneath.

Dane-gerous Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) IC:Karz, the amount of petunias that happened on Visorak was enough for one of Root's beloved novels."I remember me and Root stumbling across that abandoned city....and just getting our teeth kicked, you know? We were way out of our league, even Root's books didn't prepare him for that encounter."I looked back up at Kat."You brought us down into that basement, and even when we were your prisoners you treated us with respect."

Dane-gerous Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 IC: "Yes, you did!" I unwittingly raised my voice a little. "Sorry. But you were respectful enough to earn my best friend's trust, as well as mine." I looked back into the forest. "I blamed myself mostly after what happened in the basement, though I projected some of that onto Punch, as well as Lucid, at one point. But thanks to Root, I'm still alive, and ultimately, he wanted that." I sighed again. "You were the only other person I could go to, really. Root was dead, and I couldn't let his ideals just scatter in the wind." The stark white scrape on my wrist seemed to stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nato G Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 IC: Exxan - Gym. As my opponent leaped into their tackle, I lashed out with a concentrated blast of vacuum power, aiming to intercept him in midair and fling him away. Perhaps all the way back out of the arena, if I was lucky. But, let's face it, I'm rarely lucky. ___________________________________________________________ IC: Era - Forest. I sat alongside Zivon in one of the branches overhanging the clearing, breathing in the scent of the smoke, and doing my best not to listen to the mopey conversations. The overwhelming aura of unhappiness wavering off of everyone was practically audible. I could understand their despair, but their lack of resolve was... disheartening. We'd all known what we were getting ourselves into, all known it wouldn't be easy, but one small setback, and suddenly everyone was on the verge of giving up? Karz, what was I thinking when I agreed to this? Of course, I already knew the answer to that. Hoto... I was thinking of Hoto... Hoto, who'd suffered through so much during her short life. Hoto, the only other rahk I'd ever met who understood what life was like for me. Hoto, who was now lost and alone because of us. "Oh, to karz with this!" I dropped down out of the tree, landing beside the fire, "Enough sitting around exchanging sob stories! No one's going to save us for us. Only we can do that. So do you guys want to sit around being sad for another week, or do you want to get up and do something to get us out of this rut?"

The UltimoScorp Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 IC Kat: "Maybe." Era. My spines stiffened slightly. I drew myself up. "We'll go hungry long before we find the Hand at this rate. We should see if we can't find a village and trade." My tone was hollow. I knew we didn't have anything to trade. nothing to barter with. I knew they'd probably just chase us out, or worse, kill us on the spot. I also knew that we'd never be able to hunt with the weapons we had. none of us had the long term survival skills to last out here, or if any of us did, they were keeping it to themselves. I stooped, scooping up the haft of the warhammer in my hand, hefting it over my shoulder. "Let's get moving. Put out the fire." Quote BZPRPG Profiles The Unofficial Guide to TBRPG Combat!

Sergei Rahkmaninoff Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 IC: Jayar / Forest of Kaam He had been quiet for some time. Thinking on things. People left behind, lost, and awaiting them. How poorly this quest was going, the reasons for it, and the remedies, which were all too lacking. Why the Hand, undoubtedly capable of vanquishing seven novice refugees, had instead vanished from them. Now he stood, though what good might come of action was uncertain. "We should move on," he agreed. It wasn't as though they had just been sitting around for days, they'd spent time searching (all in vain), just they couldn't afford to wait around in any place too long. Worse than brief inaction, though, was tension and bickering. "And in unity. Each of us has no allies but the others here." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon, there might only be the forge left."I want to walk through Phantom. Find... things. To have. Keep.

silo Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) IC: Snake - The Rebellion, KaamI stand, groaning internally. I'm too tired for this, but at the same time I feel like we have to keep moving or we'll pause so long that we lose our confidence...though it seems we've lost most of it already. I feel a bit disheartened at times by recollections of Visorak: all that time, while I was curled up in hibernation, the others were fighting and building friendships. I sometimes think I would have risked my life for the friendships alone."From what I remember," I say thoughtfully, "The Continent is pretty empty. In which case a compass might be more immediately necessary." It wasn't a particularly useful thing to say, but I felt like I had to say something - if only to prove that I still exist...
