Open July Log

Who: Saix & anyone
Status: Open
Where: Various locations
What: MANTA board quests & general starters
Warnings: None


a) a phantom thief

[Naturally, the idea of hearts being stolen piqued Saix's attention. The reports sound a bit different than what he would have expected, though - and so he heads directly to the most recent location where the thief struck.

He can be found kneeling down next to the body, inspecting it. Breathing, living, but unresponsive. Not what he would expect to see from someone who had their heart stolen - and he should know. He sees no sign of anything that would lead him to believe this has any similarity to what he's familiar with.

So, what is going on, then?]


No Heartless, either. Curious.

b) miss praying mantis

[If he's going to remain here, Saix may as well make himself useful. He does have skills, after all, and the easiest one to put to use is also the most obvious one. He's got a claymore and he's ready to use it. While he wasn't generally out doing fieldwork back home, he did his share of fighting.

And a good workout involving some unrestrained violence might serve to clear his thoughts a little. Not that he's having feelings about any of this - obviously that's impossible. But he is having a lot of thoughts, some contradictory, many involving what he would be feeling if he were capable of it. He's rather tired of it.

So, time to hunt down a giant insect. But Saix isn't stupid, and he is new here, so when he sees someone in the same general area he approaches them before attempting to find the creature alone.]


I assume you are here for the same reason as I.

c) the wy's have it

[Saix doesn't know much about wyverns, but his working theory is that they're being pushed out of their usual area by either a larger predator, or a lack of their usual sources of sustenance. While he may not be able to fix either problem, he may at least be able to figure out which it is - and if not that, take down a few wyverns to keep them from causing chaos.

He is trying to keep himself busy, really. It helps if he can do so in a useful way.

But he's quite aware that he doesn't know the area, doesn't know the creatures, and doesn't really know the world. So he can be found moving cautiously through the foothills of the mountains, claymore in hand, alert to any sounds or movements.]


d) wildcard

[If there's anything else you're interested in doing with Saix, I'm happy to roll with it! We can plot ahead, or feel free to drop a starter and we can see where it goes.]

I've been doing hunts and bounties for awhile, and I've been here for months. [ He offers and chuckles at the comment. ]

Hmmm well, the quick retort is don't die. [ At least he's amusing himself. ]

I don't know if it will come to fighting, but if it does, don't worry about me. I'm great support, I can fit into whatever your style is.

Most riftfarers are pretty capable, so most of them can handle these things. I haven't encountered anyone who can't do it.

[ What that says about who gets dragged there, it's hard to say. There doesn't seem to a be a bigger picture out there. ]

I can fly, yep, that's an easy guess. [ He chuckles. ]
