Heroica RPG - Heroica Hall

[CMP]

PS: If you didn't want to do someone else's work, then why did you sign up?

I do believe we'll see soon enough.

Atramor, failing in his attempt to ignore the steadily rising-in-tension conversation, turned to the group before him.

"Let's all calm down, mates. The party of quest 4 was tricked, and this quest is going out to help. Althior, you volunteered for this quest, you should know what it entails. Alexander, you just calm the hell down. Althior's probably the most able person on the team to end up leading it. Just act like a team y'all, all right?"

"You should hanve been a Knight with that silver tongue of yours, Atramor. I agree, we're not going to get very far in our quest if we do our enemy's job for them."

[Fred Daniel Yam]

"So, are you guys square now?"

[K-Nut]

"So, are you guys square now?"

*sigh* "I certainly hope so," Althior realized something, "It's getting late, and Alexis still hasn't shown up! I'd better go back and check on her before our date." He then left the room to find his love.

[Masked Builder]

Alexis comes into the hall and sits at a table to wait for Althior so they can start their date.

[K-Nut]

Althior starts walking down the right side of the stairs when he sees a cape fluttering up the left. He turns around to see non other then his one love, Alexis. He follows her into the saloon as he kisses her. "Are you ready for our date?"

[Masked Builder]

She smiles at Althior. "Yes I am. Shall we go?"

[K-Nut]

He grabbed her arm, "Of course!" He was certainly going to miss her on his quest, but he knew he'd see her again. He had to. He laid a kiss on her cheek as they walked away into the busy street of Eubric. Who knew Eubric could be such a romantic city?

[Fred Daniel Yam]

"Hey Alexis, give Althior a good time will you? He's really stressed right now."

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Ok, they're gone. But he never answered my question... How was he preparing me by not saying what Finnegan was?

[Tanma]

IC: De'kra mused at how terrible a city Eubric was. Ancient plagues being released every other month, former "heroes" creating barbaric tournaments and torturing anyone they met, wars being created for political power, egocentric and self absorbed leaders, this city was truly a dystopia. Yet sadly, a part of De'kra's memories gave him the sense that he had seen worse places, places that would eat up even the most idealistic hero...

De'kra was shaken out of these thoughts by the shouts of an experienced Mage, one with a ridiculously high level. De'kra cringed as the Mage shouted about how the heroes of Quest 4 caused the war, as it was totally true. But what De'kra didn't understand is why that Ranger was taking the heat, De'kra was the one who doomed the mission. He had led the decision to kill the elves, he had ignited the war. And De'kra had made tons of mistakes on the mission, with very few good decisions. The other members of Quest 4 had at least one saving grace on the mission, but De'kra had done nothing useful at all. He was a failure. The only thing he could take comfort in was that he had Wren as an example of what not to be, just like the better heroes had De'kra as an example of how not to act. He would not turn out like her, no matter what.

-==IC: Arthur==-

Arthur walked over and sat down next to De’kra. “You seemed troubled. I’ve heard that magical beings like you are sensitive to the subtle energies of the Ether that can predict impending danger. Do you sense danger now, or is there something else bothering you?”

IC: De'kra sighed and clicked, "It complex. Many suffer because what I enact in Quest 4. Quest failure not other heroes fault, only I fault. I lead decision to kill elves, I encourage it. I sure Knights and Crownies were innocent, but I neglect to think Elves might also innocent. I doom mission, I was very active in decisions. Ranger not participate too much in quest, he not guilty of decision. It I fault, not Ranger."

The shade added softly, "I not sure I sense Ether, I not know what I species able to enact. I not know I race, or I past. I memories mostly limit to year before I join Heroica. I not even know you language when I wake up on shore of Uland. I wake know two dialects of strange tongue, sound like ant chatter and gears grind. No one on island know it."

[Kadabra]

Arasmyth paces back and forth in the Hall, impatient to be off.

"Everyone makes mistakes Dekra, Althior is just really nervous with the expectations he has." "We will learn to rely on each other, as a wise one once said: Danger is the anvil on which trust is forged."

[Kenghis Ghan]

Spag was too impatient to just sit and wait for the quest to begin.

"Oooh I can't wait to give those damn Brobrics a hiding...", he grumbled angrily, thinking aloud.

"You know, I heard that the Brobric have a special, symbiotic friendship with chickens..."

OOC:

[Kenghis Ghan]

Spag was taken aback by this information.

"I knew it!" he whispered to himself, wide-eyed. "I knew that damned chickens' eyes looked familiar! They have the same evil glint as my parent's killers!"

Spag was suddenly filled with burning anger, but he tried not to show it. He laid his club into his palm and clasped it tightly.

He then tried to make out that he didn't believe Arthur.

"S-sure, nice try..."

William sighed, he had his work cut out for him. "Goddamnit kid, if you're gonna lie, at least do it properly, you cannot be clouded by anger, not all chickens and Brobic Elves are evil. Keep a clear head at all times."

"Yep. And they send them out in front of them for battle, perhaps a dozen chickens for every Brobric Elf..." Arthur was hoping this would scare some seriousness into Spag, but it clearly didn't seem to be working. In fact, it just seemed to be making things worse...

Shut the hell up Seven, Bitterstalk's already distraught and you're not helping. A colleague of mine knows where your mother lives, I could him to tell your mother what you're saying about people you don't know. So shut the hell up.

[Kenghis Ghan]

Spag shook his bulbous, orange head, in an effort to snap himself out of it.

"I.. I dunno what came over me, I mean I....

You actually b-believed me about my parents? Ha, um, wow, as if I-I'd ever care about anyone but m-myself! I'm only in this for me!" Spag said, unconvincingly. He wasn't sure why, but he didn't want any of his fellow questers to know that there was a soppy mess of orange mush behind that rough, ugly exterior of his. He decided to just go back on his own, to the other side of the saloon, to try and figure out just what was going through his own mind. He always thought that conversing normally with members of other races would be easy, but it ended up being harder than he thought.

OOC: I think what I was trying to get across with this post was that Spag regrets opening up so much earlier, and he wants people to respect him as a lone-wolf-sorta-guy, not as some mushy loser with actual feelings.

"Like I said, if you need to lie, do it properly.""I can tell by your body language that you have a family, care about your family and will protect your family. Some of us aren't lucky to still have a family, like me. Trying to act cool isn't good either, tell me what's on your mind and it'll relieve your mental burden."

[K-Nut]

Althior walked back into the hall after a nice date, and a great night. He sat down to wait for Alexis,() figuring this could be their final day together before they parted. He would try his hardest to keep Abraxas' spot under control, but he wasn't sure if he could.
