« june: latrommi (test sail) »



Welcome to the Test Drive Meme for [community profile] escordvi! Anyone can participate in the test drive, regardless of invite eligibility. Just keep in mind that only those who have received invitations from the mods can actually reserve on June 24th and apply on July 1st. Our EMP/ATP can be found here.

For your toplevel, please include the following: Character Name | Canon | Armada Choice | TDM (IF TDMING). Current players can use the same header, just without the "TDM" label. We do require those who are TDMin'g to include the label so other players can distinguish between others.

For everyone's convenience, TDM threads can be carried over in game if you wish! If you are still unsure which armada to place your character, you can play it a bit loose and vague in the TDM and make retroactive changes if you carry over the threads. The log itself is set to cover starting from June 16th until the end of the month. Characters will appear at random intervals during this time rather than all at once, so players have some more flexibility on how much more adjusted they are for someone else.

If you have any question about the TDM, comment here. If you have questions about the game in general, please comment to the Game Info.

GETTING STARTED

This section can be timed for any time after June 16th until the end of the month, which includes during the current event. These prompts are to benefit those TDMing, but this portion can be handwaved instead and serve as a reference for players to know what their character will have experienced and learned on arrival.

STARTER SHIPS There are two ships that serve as starting ships for each armada: Stormbringer for the Corsairs, and Royal Fortune for the Paladins. There are various ways new arrivals—or riftfarers as they will be called, among other creative names—will appear on or by these ships. The crews for both ships will also seem a bit odd to some, as it is a mix of humans and various animal folk, non-humans that look more animal than human. Some just look like large versions of their smaller counterparts. From birds, to seals, to even bears, there is no shortage of interesting faces and people on these ships.



🚪 Random room. It could be empty, filled with crates or supplies; down in the hull where the livestock are kept; have the luck to awaken in a bed...or the misfortune of that bed already occupied; somewhere in the kitchens; in the bathroom—any room! Now let's hope the doors can open or someone may have to try and ask for help. Or jump through the porthole if there is one and it's above water.
On deck. If not in the ship itself, another possible spot to wake up to is somewhere on the maindeck. If they're lucky, they're on the deck itself. More unfortunate souls may find themselves caught in the sails or netting, the crow's nest, or on the top of the masts. Someone should be able to help, right? Or catch.
🌊 In the water. The most unlucky sods will find themselves appearing in mid-air just past the ship and plummeting straight into the water. Good news, there's always someone on the look out for such a thing and calls for help to throw a lifesaver get the rowboat will be made. Are there sharks? Well... ...Are there?

However the new riftfarers arrive, they will be poorly clothed, practically rags or loose uniforms depending on the ship. Fortunately, veteran crewmates will guide them, escorting them to a room with a strange typewriter in it. After typing their name, the typewriter will magically continue and type by itself at a fast pace until it dings and rolls out the paper. This paper will have the following information:



Name and Shellphone ID (journalname)
Armada (Corsair or Paladin, will match the starter ship)
Cabin Number for their personal cabin on the starter ship
Apartment Address for their personal address at their base armada location
• A basic map of the starting locations in Eltrut, including written directions (continued in the Eltrut section)
• A basic map of where they can find a chest with their original clothes and belongings (this will be different for every person and will be anywhere either on the starter ship or on Eltrut—players can be creative here).

After that, the crewmate will do their best to explain the basics of how they got here, what's going on, and what they'll need to do to live in Escordvi while they are here, giving them a small leather pouch with money. They will be reaching Eltrut soon, so the crewmate will suggest they look around, meet the others who have arrived. Even from their distance, they will be able to see the giant sea turtle that serves as Eltrut's leviathan.


ON ELTRUT Once in Eltrut, the new riftfarers will be greeted by several birdfolk who will be happy to give tours to those who may need them. Otherwise, anyone is free to roam as they please and will have a map for the following main places they should visit.



🐚 Microshell. The first stop that is encouraged will be Microshell, the main store to acquire their own personal Shellphone. The paper they received on their starter ship will have their ID and the staff at the store will set them up, explaining how the device and the network works.
✒️ Inkwave, Tattoo Parlor. The next stop is Inkwave, a tattoo parlor run by a very burly but friendly octopus, Knistej. Here everyone receives their own unique magic tattoo, allowing anyone to cast specific single element spells and other magic. Note: tattoos are required before anyone will be able to use their original magical abilities.
📜 MANTA office. The final stop is the MANTA office, where all the request, mission, and task notices are posted. Each armada has their own branch office for armada specific notices as well. A great place to find jobs to earn some cash so they don't stay a hobo forever.



LATROMMI

Latrommi, a beautiful, lush heart-shaped island renowned for its beautiful beaches and perfect weather, making it the perfect paradise for romantic getaways. When docking on Latrommi travelers are greeted with a small beachside town that has been built into the side of the beach and tropical mountainscape. Boardwalks, wooden bridges and ladders connect the shops and buildings for a nice walking experience. There are shops, taverns, rooms for rent, bard performances and more. The town also boasts of their special coffee or wine bath spa that is said to put some pep back into your step too. Although there is a discount promotion currently in place, those who wish to stay at the beachfront resort can also opt to help locals as a way to "pay" for their stay.

Exploring any of the beaches on the island is encouraged! But there are some warnings to be wary about while exploring the sandy beaches. Some of the beaches are rumored to make people feel like they are ten years younger while some of the beaches make them feel as if they are ten years older. No one knows how these time lapses affect the body and mind. But other than that, enjoy some of the simpler beaches that are just fun in the sun and seashell collecting all day long, no strings attached. Don’t forget the swimsuit!



🐤 Bird watching. Like many tropical islands, Latrommi is home to hundreds of exotic bird species. They are colorful as they are magnificent and range from common sights to rarer species like the Golden Seagull. Anyone savvy to bird watching can pick up a sticker book and try to mark off and collect each one. Some say if one is able to spot the Rainbow Huma Bird, one of the legendary guardians of the island, they will be granted a month’s worth of luck and love.
🐗 Some beasties. The island is home to several land and water creatures that aren’t found on other islands or leviathans as well. People are welcome to try their hand at capturing a cute blanket octopus that will snuggly wrap around their body, fish up a blood-sucking vampire squid that is apparently a tasty delicacy, or fight off some aggressive goblin sharks. Or take a crack at hunting down one of the many wild boars in the area that have massive tusks as sharp as swords.
Beauty pools. Various pools of water are scattered all over the island that seem to have a healing property to them. Many of them will rejuvenate skin or energize the body after a nice long soak. Anyone who takes a dip will feel smooth and hydrated after a swim in one of the many mineral pools or exfoliated and fresh after a soak in one of the mud baths too. Soak it up!
🐚 Hidden cove. Scattered around the island are small, hidden coves just waiting to be uncovered. They haven’t been explored in years so they could be rich in old treasures to find. Go digging and find ancient coins, rare shiny seashells or a hidden cache of special pirate’s rum. Some might even have buried gemstones that can be found. Or maybe a fancy relic or two?
🐴 Male seahorses. In this world, seahorses are horses that can be ridden like mounts in the sea. Around this time of the year, the male seahorses that have given birth to their babies have now migrated to Latrommi to grow and thrive. The waters are littered with hundreds of baby seahorses that can be played with in the ocean water. Play with them or teach them to become rideable mounts themselves. Or just give them snacks of shrimp and fish.

For those who wish to have a bit more privacy, be it for a romantic tryst or just somewhere peaceful to relax, there are a number of places one can find. Beaches, coves, grottos, groves, even caves in the mountain side. While there are wild animals, there are not too many aggressive beasts, so just take the usual care when venturing through. There are also a number of private cabins and cabanas that one can find. Some are for rent, some free to use, and some already occupied so be sure to knock!

Strangely enough, small and rare flower patches of Ethereal Emberblooms also appear on the island. Odd because the flowers themselves should only be able to survive on Elah. So, how did they get here? Sadly, they will wither and die by the end of the month.


FYRE FESTIVAL

Ever since the first sighting, Latrommi hosts the Fyre Festival every June, an event in tribute to their patron and mythical bird, the quetzal, Eternia. It is said that he will bless any marriage on this island, and anyone who sees the end of the Festival with a feather in their hand will be gifted by Eternia with eternal love and a happy family. That is what makes June the most popular month for weddings, and couples—both human and even inter-species!— from far and wide visit Latrommi not only to celebrate, but to wed with the hopes that Eternia will smile down upon their union.

The festival boasts all kinds of activities to try out with a friend or even a loved one, with different food stalls available to try out the local delicacies. Be careful, the Latrommians love their food spicy! There is also beer and grog available along the beaches and in many of the seaside taverns.

To kick off the festivities this year, the people of Latrommi are putting on a stage play about a recent tale of love and betrayal that has been going around, based on the newest hit that all the bards are singing across the land: Tempest Hearts. It is a story of two lovers, Karura, the Queen of Harpies and Indra, the Lord of Lightning who have recently had a bit of a spat, and their fight has taken them out to sea where they create violent storms.

Tempest Hearts, a Tale of Two Gods:
In the world where the sky meets the sea,
A love once prospered, fiery and free.
Karura, Queen of Wind and Flight,
And Indra, Lord of Lightning's might.

So in love, she would grow wings,
With every kiss, the winds would sing.
But whispers of betrayal spread,
Karura’s heart was filled with dread.

Indra, with a heart so true,
His love like thunder, a spark that grew.
He sought to shield her from the fray,
But fate’s cruel hand pushed her away.

Over the ocean, a fight so fierce,
The skies do roar, the seas do pierce.
Karura’s tears in stormy squalls,
Indra’s fury, thunder calls.

Misunderstood, his noble quest,
To guard his love, his very best.
But wounds of doubt and sorrow deep,
Turned love to storms that do not sleep.

Yet truth was found within the stars,
Their hearts began to heal the scars,
Karura saw his love so pure,
And Indra’s heart, she did secure.

Oh, tempest hearts, once torn apart,
Now healed by love, a brand new start.
Across the ocean’s endless blue,
Their journey ends in love renewed.

Their hands entwined, the storm did cease,
A love reborn, their souls at peace.
Begone the wind and lightning's feud,
Their love now calm, forever true.

So sail the seas, oh mariners brave,
For now the winds and waves behave.
In skies once stormy, clear and bright,
Rest Karura and Indra, in love's flight.


Throughout the festival, those with acting chops may be asked to take to the stage and act out their rendition of this story, and improvisation is more than encouraged! Take on the role of Karura or Indra and help spin this tale of betrayal and love renewed with a partner.



🦚 Feather exchange. When the festival begins, all festival goers are given a single blue feather. This feather is meant to signify a bond between two people when given to someone else. By the end of the festival, give this feather to another person to express that they mean something special, either platonically or romantically. Just remember, each participant is only given one blue feather to give to someone else.
💍 Wedding/Couples rings. Whether looking for something nice or needing them for a wedding, there is a current special on matching rings for couples! However, little do people know, they have been enchanted to fuse together, forcing people to hold hands. The only way to get them off? Exchange heartfelt vows to one another.
💥 Coal walking. One of the many challenges during the festival is barefooted coal walking! Resist the heat and walk across a bed of hot coals, and even try partnering up with someone to see how fast the challenge can be completed together. Alternatively, races are encouraged! No cheating with special abilities allowed!
👗 Corset competition. Any pirate worth their salt knows how to fashion and wear a corset. This year, there is a little competition to see who can tie a corset the tightest and wear it the longest without passing out. They can be tied solo or around a partner. Get those strings pulled and cinch in those ribs. Just don’t forget to breathe. Alternatively, those who have survived the corset tying competition could try the corset untying competition too. People are now challenged to get them off as fast as possible. No tools or tricks are allowed to be used. Only hands, toes and mouth. Animal folk are more than welcome to use their claws too.
🍰 Cake eating. There is a cake-eating contest to see who can eat the most cake, but with a twist! Partners must feed each other cake at the same time, so pair up and see who can eat more to win! Or just enjoy eating the free cake with someone.
🐦Hot ones. Sit down with a partner for this test on the stomach. The challenge is to eat a massive plate of spicy hot wings! The catch is that each time their partner is to eat an increasingly spicier hot wing, they must answer a question about themselves first. Ask a question, eat more spicy hot wings, and see who can last the longest without crying or dying for a mug of milk.

Like many festivals, there is a plethora of music and dance to participate in. Grab a partner and dance the night away, or participate in a dance partner swap where everyone is swapped with a random dance partner they might have never met before. There is also ribbon dancing where partners are tied together using a long red ribbon. Once they are all tangled up the ribbon will only completely loosen and untie once the pair manages to share a kiss on the mouth or the cheek, or if they confess a special thought to one another. Finally, for those who want something a little more exciting, fire dancing is a traditional dance where dancers take up long staves that are lit on both ends with torch-fire. Use these staves to dance and move to the music, creating an intricate glow of firelight in the night.


WEDDING WRECKERS

ALL PROMPTS IN THIS SECTION ARE WORTH 4 PTS.

While Latrommi wishes everyone their beautiful "happily ever after," there are those who wish the opposite, either jealous of those who manage to find their happiness or just revel in the chaos and thrill of ruining the lives of others. Thus wedding crashers have always been a problem, leading to increased security over the years.

However, this year there is a group called Captain Salt's Lonely Hearts Crew that has gone beyond simple disruption to outright bride and groom kidnapping. Some are done for ransom, others have a personal vendetta towards the couples. So far all victims have been rescued unharmed, but there is a fear that things could turn for the worst. Already there have been reported murders and attacks on those suspected of having affairs or adultery on their loved ones, and Captain Salt's crew is high on the list of suspects.

Various operations are underway to try and undermine the group as well as find the ringleaders and put a stop to it once and for all. This will require as much help from both Paladins and Corsairs as possible. However, there is tension between the two groups as Paladins suspect the Corsairs for the more heinous crimes while Corsairs counter this smells like something an overzealous justice loving Paladin would do.

IMPORTANT NOTE: while the prompts are written in the perspective of people helping save the victims, it is possible for characters to deliberately cause chaos. Whether they are for the Lonely Hearts Crew's cause or just want to mess with people, they can serve as antagonists for the prompts instead instead.



OPERATION: FAKE WEDDING. To try and capture those involved, volunteers are asked to either switch with real, targeted couples or host elaborate fake weddings. Some may have both individuals or only have one replaced with a fake. All replacements will try to look as close to the original as possible, but to help with the brides, they will have long, thick veils to help obscure their faces. For fake grooms, they will have hats or temporary magical glamor. Those who wish to act as security will also be disguised as attending guests or staff.

👗 Dress your best. Of course, no one will be getting through this without dressing their absolute best. While the tailors would prefer if the outfits are not destroyed, they see this as an advertisement opportunity and will dress volunteers into their dream dress or suit. No one will leave until they say "yes" to that dress!
🍰 Surprise cake. One "hiding" spot a guard may try to use is a fake wedding cake. Hidden in a large box disguised as an elaborate six-tiered wedding cake, it's the perfect place to spring out the moment trouble arrives. Just be careful because some may be fooled and try to take a stab for a slice.
💐 Flower toss. The flowers are enchanted to burst into different colored paint to help mark disruptors should they be jostled or knocked over. …And anyone else for that matter. No one said this was the best idea.
⚔️ Vicious engagements. Once the would-be wedding crashers and kidnappers appear, the silk gloves are off and weapons are out! Try and capture as many as possible to be taken in for interrogation.




OPERATION: RESCUE. While it's ideal to stop anyone from getting kidnapped at all, there are some who are assigned to be deliberately taken. In this situation, the kidnapped will have a small, special feather attached to their outfit in some way that can be released to discreetly fly off and release an "SOS" flare of sorts. Just be careful as they will be taken deep into the surrounding forest, sometimes even as far as the mountains or out to sea…

🔍 Follow the signal. Upon seeing the flare, volunteers of the rescue group must now venture through the island and find the target location. Upon reaching the location, it's time to clear out the villains and capture them to return for proper punishments. However…
⁉️ Rescued affair!? Some of these acts of bride- or groomnapping is actually a twisted gesture of "romance" from the kidnapper, wishing to steal them away either to save them from an undesired marriage or a one last desperate attempt to win them over. Some are genuine with pure feelings and revelations of marriage, the victim wishing to flee with their secret lover. Others are clearly mad and the victim wants nothing to do with them. Perhaps there's an even bigger story. Will the rescuers help? Or stick with the job?
🏃 Escape. Forget waiting to be rescued, if it's possible to break out and deal with the kidnappers and escape, there's no one to stop them. Maybe there are other victims from previous kidnappings there that need help or could assist.




OPERATION: INFILTRATION. For those who want to try their hand and infiltrate Captain Salt's Lonely Crew, then they must somehow convince the members they want in. Or just volunteer like a mercenary and be paid for it. All they have to do is express disgust or anger towards weddings and they're pretty much in. A sob story filled with heartbreak will do, too. Note: these prompts can tie in to the other sections.

🗡️ Affair most foul. Rather than crash weddings, some are assigned to attack, even kill certain individuals who are said to be committing affairs or adultery. The problem is there is little evidence to prove it and the descriptions of the targets are vague at best. This results in mistaken identities. (Player options are 1) commit to the assignment and attack the target; 2) try and save the target; 3) be mistaken as the target.)
🎻 Bad Boy/Girl Band. One group uses enchanted instruments to either freeze or put everyone to sleep. Destroy the instruments without giving away their true identity.
🥷 "Kidnapping." Knowing the intended target, those who have infiltrated the group can try and reach the target first and prevent them from being taken.
🛑 Words of persuasion. Perhaps the salty crew members can be persuaded away from crashing a wedding. Is the one leading the crash someone whose heart was broken by one of the couples? Do they have a personal vendetta? Or is there another story here?


Those looking into the murders will also be tasked in finding and recovering missing bodies, though this will not be for the faint of heart. Some clearly were personal and quite gruesome. As for any bases or hideouts used for the kidnappings, once found permission is granted to destroy whatever is there and bring in all members. There are many of them, with clues to where Captain Salt's location is… However, Captain Salt will remain elusive for a time. For now, any clues to who and where Captain Salt could possibly go will be collected (player submission).


QUESTS

The current MANTA Board is available, but we have a couple of additional quests that are specific for the event! Teaming up is of course encouraged, no matter what the affiliation. You can assume they acquired some kind of ship for the quests out at sea, either the starter ship or some other ship heading out there. All quests will be worth 4 points.



The Shiny Exchange
Eltrut

The Crow's Nest, a group of local corsairs working out of Eltrut, is planning a unique get-together where everyone dresses up as crows by wearing all black and bringing their best shiny trinkets to the mini event. Inspired by a local folklore hero—a crow version of Robin Hood—the event will honor the person with the best shiny trinket with the title of Crow Hero. Gather together with other crows and trade shiny trinkets to your heart's desire. While there can be multiple winners of who has the best shiny trinkets, only the person with the shiniest items of all can be the Crow Hero. Feel free to play puzzle games and card games with other local crows as well, it's all about meeting with the locals.


Sacabuffbaspis
Everywhere

The sacabambaspis fish is very popular in and around all the islands and leviathans. Lately, it appears someone has been making a mass amount of sacabambaspis merchandise including mugs, keychains, stuffed plush toys and painted posters of the strange-looking fish. But someone has also put up several paper posters of a very muscular and beefy looking sacabambaspis man all over the place which has deterred the fish's popularity (or in some cases made it more "popular" with certain groups of people with certain tastes...). Help the shopkeepers by taking down the buff-looking posters of the sacabambaspis man so that the sacabambaspis fish can retain its wholesome image. Unfortunately, the more posters you take down, the more get put up but... Do your best anyway.


That Much Hoppier
Naughtilust

Hasn't anyone ever told you not to lick toads and frogs? There's a strange trend going around Naughtilust where brothel goers have started to lick special frogs for the delightful little buzz it gives the licker. Licking these special frogs tastes like candy but the happy and hallucinogenic effects that come from licking the frogs is what everyone is after. If you lick a frog you might feel like rocks are popping in your mouth or you'll be able to see colors start to change or swap. Most importantly, it makes the licker feel so, so happy. So happy that you could kiss anyone! Dance with anyone! Strip off your clothes and jump in the ocean! Anyone on Naughtilust is more than welcome to try licking frogs to see what will happen to them. It'll only cost you a small amount of coins to do it.

Arrival

The Stormbringer
[The breeze was nice, but the glaring sun with little-to-no cover was not; the swaying of a ship was also hard to miss underneath her, fingers curling as nails sunk a little into wood one her grip on the edge of the crow's nest came. Hauling herself to her feet with little effort, taking in her surroundings as she stood in silence for a moment.

Stronger wind, hair and ragged fabric fluttering in it. A glance down and

The only warning to anyone on deck below would be the sound of a body falling, even if Arlecchino did take efforts to control it, slipping around certain ropes and parts of the sail to aim where she wished to land.

She landed in a crouch, shoulders rolling as she straightened up and onto her feet; sweeping hair back in order to tie into some form of ponytail with a bit of cord taken during the fall. Those odd eyes landing on the first person she saw-]


Tell me, what's the name of this ship and where is it headed?

[Down to business.]


Eltrut 🐢🐙
Inkwave
[With the Microshell office taken care of?

Arlecchino made her way to Inkwave without second thought, fingers curled just beneath her chin as arms were half folded while looking over displays of art-style for what could be gotten. Watching those that came and went from the corner of her vision, posture seemingly relaxed as if preoccupied otherwise. The Pyro Vision hidden just underneath tied back hair -properly dressed again and items collected- required her to get something here for her connection to return. Fine, a simple task.]


I understand that it is advised to only get one, due to the energy required to make use of these tattoos and their provided magical connection, but perhaps it would be some small benefit to test what getting two at once may have to offer. [Because that was exactly what came to mind. Acquire one for her Vision/everything else, and another for something... new.]

Around Eltrut
[After the necessary tasks were done, before any departure to some other island, Arlecchino was making a point to familiarize herself with Eltrut. Which meant a lot of people watching while walking the streets, speaking with those who didn't shy away from her gaze or presence.

... picking up a few items from certain shops, and speaking with other patrons along with whomever may be manning it at the time.

Even a meal at one or two of the local taverns that seemed the most popular, keeping herself just out of the way to better observe. Take it all in.

Or be caught walking along a shoreline, perhaps even at a peaceful standstill.]



Latrommi

Beach Bird Watching 🦜
[Well, someone had managed to convince the Knave into a swim suit, even if she added a much longer -but matching- wrap to act as a skirt of sorts. The sun hat she found wasn't too bad, either.

It was not something she preferred, but something she could work with as she took up a sticker book in hand. This was something of a hobby she had dabbled in before, given the times she did spend within forests, so it wouldn't hurt to indulge a little-]


Don't move.

[Spoken low, it sounded like an order not to be refused—

There was the call of a bird, just to the right and perched low in a tree.]


Hidden Coves 🌅
[Arlecchino had seated herself at a hidden pool somewhat deep within the cove she stumbled upon, lower legs rested within the cool and clear blue water. A few 'treasures' were piled beside her; colorful shells mixed with actual jewels of similar shape to some, goblets, and a few bottles. One of which she had in hand, turning slowly as her thumb brushed across a label.]

Hm, I wonder if this is still actually good or if it would be better to be rid of it.

[Someone had a rather productive time exploring.]


Wedding Wreckers

Dress Your Best 👗
[Arlecchino had always, even when she were younger, had a dislike for dresses, but if it was part of some task it was something she could put up with. Even if at times there could be the subtle air of discomfort whenever she hung at the very edges of various groups and crowds. Even with a drink in hand, or one of the various foods on offer at the refreshment tables. Lingering here and there.

Her head tipped to one side-]


Someone just grabbed a young woman and pulled her out of he room.

[We are following after them.]

Rescued Affair‽ 💅
[There was a low but heated anger that could likely be felt for any that came across Arlecchino, a young woman with a torn dress held protectively behind her, and the sharp heel of her own shoe pressing down against the side of a old man's neck with the toe of it pinning his head to the floor.

Signs of fire still about-]


Aren't you a foolish one? You had your answer already, but if you wish I can make it that much more clear for you as it does seem you need the extra help.

[—O o p s.]


Wildcard! 🃏
[Bring Your Own Starter or Remix any of the above! Feel free to PM me if you wish for something to be discussed.]

Bird watching

[personal profile] scooba 2024-06-16 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Freminet has been taking up watching nature recently. With so much free time, he found the birds singing and their activities to be rather interesting. It allowed him time to think about his own thoughts and time to relax after the day was over. This time, he hoped to spend some time watching the birds once more.

Although, it seems that his thoughts were cut short the moment he saw a familiar person. As he tried to open his mouth, he quickly closed it back under her orders. Slowly, he walked closer but not enough to scare any of the birds.

It couldn’t be, he thought to himself, Father was here. He shouldn’t he surprised given how he and Lyney were here. And yet, he was. That’s why he found himself staring and not really knowing what else to do but to walk closer.]
balemoonrise: (Just think about it sometimes tho)

[personal profile] balemoonrise 2024-06-16 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, so those foot steps had been—]

Freminet.

[Less stern, and more that tone that tended to be used during those moments when there was no mission, no duty to perform. A more restful day for the Children at the House of the Hearth. Her own voiced even lowered. The book was kept in one hand while Arlecchino did move to help shorten that distance.

Whether the bird flew away, the song stopped, or not forgotten for just a moment while noted there n the back of her mind.

Instead there was a hand carefully placed there against the top of his head, nails carefully threaded through hair. A soft greeting, of sorts.]

[As he let go of whatever breath he was holding in (when had he been holding it?), his gaze was downward as if he was bowing to her. Happy as he was to see someone he knew here, it brought a new set of fears.

He dared not look at her.]


F-Father, I...I hope that you were well. I take it you recently arrived here?

[He hadn't been doing much lately. He hoped to spend his days trying to befriend new people and letting his imagination take flight through words. Would she disapprove of him trying to take it easy?]

rescued affair

[personal profile] queensguilt 2024-06-16 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Louis somehow had something akin to his knight's attire pieced by the seamstress, which puts him in the very privileged position to have no restrictions on his usual mobility. Something that, perhaps, a dress cannot afford.

Rather, usually not afford, because after seeing this woman in action, whether in a dress or not, it's evident that her power overcomes any limitations. He knows better than to interrupt, and greatsword in hand, he watches without pity as she steps on the kidnapper's throat. While she's busy-- ]


This way. [ Louis addresses the kidnapped bride, tone as gentle and calm as the harbor waters in the morning. He holds out his arm to her, dipping his head politely. If the other woman intends to go through with an execution, Louis will not protest-- but he will give their rescuee the option to leave for another room. ] If, of course, you do not wish to watch.

[ Or perhaps the "bride" does wish to watch her kidnapper to perish. Whatever the case, the woman deserves the choice, and he is here to facilitate it. ]

[Fingers curled there into the skirts of her dress with that free hand, adjusting the fabric just so as if she were merely pulling them away from the future blood she was very willing to spill-

Her gaze lifted briefly even before he spoke, arm still held back in that protective fashion before she changed its position, the angle. Far easier for the stolen bride to move away if she so wished while still offering that shield of herself.]


You are no longer the captive to an egotistical savage. [There was something subtly softer as she spoke to the young woman, more weight placed on the toe of her shoe so said kidnapper wouldn't dare budge during this.

There was a mix of fear and relief there in the young woman's eyes, lookin between the two there and the man on the floor that had already been beaten down. As if caught in the choice along with the rush of-

I want to know he's gone. To be sure of it.

Weight carried on those words, as if this had been a nightmare, but she still stepped closer to Louis so she was more between him and Arlecchino. No danger of any last second retaliations if the man decided to try and leave one last... impression.

She looked back down to the man then, those odd eyes focused.]


I won't allow him the pleasure in lingering long then, nor something easy.

[Quick, but painful.]

[personal profile] queensguilt 2024-06-17 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ The kidnapper quivers beneath her foot, caught between squirming and moving out of fear. At the promise of a painful death, however, the color drains from his face, and he sputters out a plea. As he should, but it doesn't make him any less pathetic. Louis' gaze snaps from her heel upon the man's neck up to the woman's face. The ire she holds is chilling.

As for the bride positioning herself more between his companion and Louis himself, he shifts his stance. With a few quick clasps of his armor, he undoes the cloak portion of it. Draping it across the bride's shoulders, he instructs: ]
For any wayward splatter.

[ Rather than balking, the bride nods, solemn but determined, and pulls the cloak further around her front.

Louis doesn't know for certain exactly how gorey this will be, but the other woman is stepping on the man's neck, where two prime arteries, among those of the highest pressure in the body, feed the head. Louis can practically feel each horrid, quick thrum of the man's blood course through him, and it's... sickening. As for being tempted by said blood afterwards, well.

Louis does not drink from pigs. ]

beach bird watching

[personal profile] activatingcombatmode 2024-06-17 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Man.

[Zack isn't the bird-watching type of person. He finds something like this just a little bit boring. Trying to find all the birds and collecting all the stickers in this book isn't his idea of fun in the sun?

But the second that his bird-watching partner commands him to not move Zack looks up to spot the rare bird and actually feels a little rush at how cool it is to spot a rare bird. Okay, maybe this is cool?]


Damn- Is that the rare one...?

[SHHH Zack.]

balemoonrise: (I hope you still persist as well)

[personal profile] balemoonrise 2024-06-17 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[Her voice was low, no second thought as she tried not to startle the bird herself.

It did seem to still and listen, and her hand moved then to cover Zack's mouth- and perhaps despite the speed at which it was done, it was held in place gently as a more physical reminder that could be both a surprise but easier to keep in mind.

For some, at least.]

spectacleofphantasmagoria: (Ah..!)

Around Eltrut HI FATHER

[personal profile] spectacleofphantasmagoria 2024-06-17 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Things had been remarkably relaxed for Lyney lately. He and Freminet were here alone, but there were others from Teyvat whom they had befriended. They had joined a crew together, and were getting along well. Lyney had also gained a... well, something of a Special Friend in the form of Heizou. There were no missions to worry about, no Fatui responsibilities, and guiltily... he kind of liked all the free time he's had here. It's been nice to be able to focus on things for himself for a change.]

[Right now, he's just doing some errands. Buying groceries, checking the MANTA board, pausing to browse the local bookshop... there was a detective novel that he thought Heizou might like, so he picked it up on a whim. And he's just finishing up his errands and making his way back home, arms full of a few packages and a spring in his step as he goes over a mental checklist of a few different tricks he wants to try out. Perhaps if Tifa lets him use one of the cabins, he could do something more elaborate...]

[So focused on his thoughts, he almost bumps into someone while he's walking.]


Oh, excuse me! My apologies, I wasn't watching where I was...

[His voice trails as he looks up, surprised at the familiar figure in front of him.]

Ah..! F-Father?!
balemoonrise: (We. Persist.)

HI SON

[personal profile] balemoonrise 2024-06-17 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Lyney.

[Arlecchino had reached out easily enough to still and steady those packaged on top of everything else he had been carrying, her head tilted to one side.]

You usually pay more attention, unless something is on your mind.

[Observation as much as it was a statement, eyes rested on him.]

[There's a kid around 18 currently wandering around the tavern. He's kind of small and lanky looking. Absolutely does not look like he belongs around the rough and tumble crowd of the burly pirates. Less so as he's getting pushed and shoved this way and that by the rowdy patrons!

Every now and then with a few growling at him to watch where he's going. With the last one shoving him right into Arlecchino's table!

Kind of roughly too. If she has a drink on it, then there's a chance it might spill from the force.]


Um... s-sorry... sorry...! My bad!

[This lady looks like the no-nonsense type. And Wirt just wanted some food! But clearly he isn't going to get a meal here, and hopefully she accepts his stuttered apologies and doesn't decide to make him part of her dinner!]

[personal profile] balemoonrise 2024-06-17 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
No need to apologize, it was not your doing.

[She had been watching, and while eyes were narrowed it was not on Wirt that that gaze rested on. No, on the other end of it was the one that had actually shoved him as the large and burly man seemed to... pale a little. Trapped there as if pinned to the spot by the look alone.

A hand had moved to steady her drink, moving after it was still to rest there on top of crossed legs rather primly.]


Why don't you take a seat here? Surely it would be out of their way enough, and I was about to place an order for food. Would you care for something to eat?

[Thin. Out of place. Likely came in out of hunger.]

Rescued Affair (CW: Implied memories of SA)

[personal profile] telepathicignorance 2024-06-17 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
(Well if Arlecchino wanted to make an impression...

Sidestep scans the minds of everyone involved in this little scene. And then, their face hardens.)


He won't stop. They never do.

(Memories. Learning the concept of no. The beating that handler gave them when they tried to apply it.

It makes them angry, glad at the prospect of seeing him dead.

But...)


There are a bunch of people working together to kidnap newlyweds. We could use the information he has to catch them.

(Are they really doing this? Are they really arguing to spare this asshole? Yeah, they save people, but this is...

They should rip his mind apart and be done with it. Maybe they still will, if they can manage it without letting everyone around know they're a telepath.)
balemoonrise: (... Mhm)

[personal profile] balemoonrise 2024-06-18 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
If what information he does have is good, and not something said in the hopes of saving himself.

[She had little faith in that, as only certain people -if this was run in any order- would be privy to any useful information that could lead anywhere. More so that it would be under duress now, and there was a tendency for lies as the person spouted whatever they felt would make it stop.

At the very least there was no further pressure being applied, but what was there wasn't being let up either.

Her concern was for the young woman she kept a protective arm in front of, able to feel her weight against her back and the skirts of the Knave's own red dress. Even if there was a detached calm that remained there in Arlecchino's tone there was no easy dismissal that heat which remained in the air.]


His kind have a terrible habit of twisting themselves into whatever position is mot favorable, even once they can no longer save their public face- desperate hopes for a chance at it.

[Her head tipped-]

You would have better chance asking the victims what they possibly overheard, once rescued.

[Kindred spirits, they are... only in the sense that Benedikta kept near the edges of the crowds as well. She has no interest in talking to anyone—she was just here for the job. She did, however, quite like the various dresses to try on for said events, and if it's all for decent pay and keeping the scummy hands of men off the brides-to-be, she would be willing to do it for a lot less. But as someone who never had nice things growing up, she intends to take advantage of it when the time comes.

She's in the middle of sipping this, frankly, rather cheap champagne when she hears a voice from the woman in red standing next to her.]


Oh, for fuck's sake. Of all the places...

[Cheap or not, she was enjoying the champagne, but she's already shoving it into the hands of some poor bystander who has no idea what is going on.]
balemoonrise: (I hope you still persist as well)

woe unto whomever they're about to run down

[personal profile] balemoonrise 2024-06-18 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Impatient, perhaps.

[Her own glass was passed over to someone without a word to them, already moving towards the exit where she had seen the pair go. From the way the young woman's arm had been grabbed, the amount of hesitation and pull that had caught Arlecchino's notice- well.

Best to not waste any sort of time as she moved through the crowd easily- but in a way that made more than enough room for the other woman to catch on and follow.]


A type of recklessness that, at least, will earn something.

[That likely wouldn't be good given the way her eyes had narrowed despite the detached tone.]

Have a feral teen to throw at your wedding wreckers (Dress your Best)

[personal profile] catsgothistongue 2024-06-18 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Ranma was caught up in snacking on some of the hors d'oeuvres, diligent on not making a mess of his fine suit. Apparently, he was being vigilant on the wrong thing when he should've been keeping an eye out!]

Now?!

[He hissed, muttering a curse under his breath. Shit, he let himself get distracted like a blind fool! His head whipped back and forth, surveying the gala for any signs of a lady struggling or kicking. No dice. Ranma swallowed whatever food was left in his mouth, jumped up from his seat and stared harried at the taller(?), older pale lady in a blood red dress.]

Where did they go?

[The urgency in his voice was clear: They needed to go, ASAP.]
balemoonrise: (This slow descent into madness)

[personal profile] balemoonrise 2024-06-18 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Her glass was placed on the platter of a passing roaming waiter, eyes not leaving the spot she had seen the larger man take a younger woman by the wrist through. Not much time before they would be out of sight around some corner, no doubt.

Long strides and a tight grip meant she hadn't had much time to make a fuss, not when a small group dressed to blend in had gone with them.]


Follow me, step quietly as you can manage if we do not wish to give away they were spotted to anyone watching on their side of this.

[Already making her way forward, cutting through the crowd in such a way that barely jostled them and drew not attention to her movements(5'8). Not a sound from her heels despite the speed taking as she reached the open door way, a hand picking up her skirt enough to avoid even a thought of tripping]

Hidden Coves

[personal profile] triompheduhimbo 2024-06-21 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Napoleon, upon arriving in this world and finding that nope, he couldn't contact Chaldea or sense his master anywhere, had decided to do some reconnaissance of his own. It wasn't his usual style, honestly-- he was prone to just announcing himself when arriving someplace new. Buuut, if this was some minute Singularity, or LostBelt bullcrap, or maybe Madamoiselle Elizabeth Báthory managed to get her hand on a Holy Grail and turned this into a summer vacation... ]

[ Well, whatever it was, he should figure things out before anyone else showed up to make sure they were set. ]

[ And that's how he'd end up exploring the coves of the island, trying to see if anything hidden away could give him an idea of what exactly was going on. Sure, he got an explanation from the locals, got his 'shellphone', a tattoo to give him his Servant Powers back...

But was that really the truth? Could only figure that out with his own two eyes and ears.]


[ --And what did his eyes decide to show him? An absolute vision of loveliness, all wrapped up in black, red and grey, sitting along with a collection of treasures. Jewels that would make Ishtar-- either of them, really-- green with envy, beautiful shells the young child servants would love to collect, but what caught his eye was a few of those gold chalices and the bottles, one of which in the woman's hand. ]

[ --She wasn't a mage, not in the traditional sense, but--something about her just made his heart flutter. A sense of power from her-- and surely she'd sense him by now, hence her asking that question aloud like that.

He'd smirk a little, coming to stop just a few feet away from her to the side, still wearing his usual outfit--black boots and white pants, military jacket and red vest-- ]


Need a taste tester, Madame?
balemoonrise: (We be persisting through)

[personal profile] balemoonrise 2024-06-21 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[It didn't hurt that his approach had been rather obvious, having noted just how sound traveled in this part of the cove due to being so cave-like.

Arlecchino's posture remained relaxed, even head as her head tipped in regards to his approach and words. Nails tapping against the label of the bottle before she was holding it by the neck in one hand.]


If you are to be so bold, Monsieur, you may as well have a seat to do so.

Stormbringer

[personal profile] legendofthelion 2024-06-21 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Dehya really just wanted to see for herself if the pattern of the riftrafters held in another two months. She just expected someone to come out from the lower deck and not suddenly descend from the crow's nest.

So she's not paying attention until after the sound of Arlecchino hitting deck, to which she turns around with tension in her shoulders. At least until she sees the rags, and then she eases.]


You startled me! This is the Stormbringer, and we're on our way to Eltrut for a resupply. [He jerks her thumb back to the island on the horizon.] You remember the bottle you touched? It's some kind of rift. So, uh... welcome?
balemoonrise: (What did you expect coming here?)

[personal profile] balemoonrise 2024-06-21 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
You have my apologies, a focus on getting down safely can cause some attention to slip away from others- outside of ensuring not to land on them, of course. [Hands fell away from tying her hair back, posture slipping to something more relaxed once that was in something close to proper order.

Looking towards the horizon then-]


I do, odd as it was to see such a thing rolling along the ground. Odd item to hold such power in relation to some rift transportation- but fitting I suppose. [A small gesture of her head to the ship and environment in view, fingers curling after.]

I take it that people arriving here like this is... normal, yes?
