"T-too c-cold for t-this..." Rosalvya accesses the convoy to trade her Iron Sword (30/45) for her Slim Sword (31/35). Trade Vulnerary (1/3) for Vulnerary (3/3). Move to B8, Equip Slim Sword, Activate Leaf on the Wind

Esyllt Esyllt had gladly walked off the field, and walked over to Lexi to join her on the sidelines. Her remaining two roommates were still on the playing field, playing with such focus that she couldn't help but silently cheer for them on the sidelines. She made herself comfortable and sat on the grass, resting her head in her palms. "Everyone's really into the game, aren't they? It's a little intense," Esyllt said with a laugh. She was referring to the apparent rivalry that was going on between Riley and Kaede. Maybe they were really good friends, competing with one another like that. "Excited to get back out there, Lexi?"

Esyllt Seeing as there were only four balls, Esyllt decided to wait patiently for an opportunity to come towards her. With this many people, she would be better off just playing the long game and conserving energy. Esyllt retreated over to a less crowded section of the playing field to observe. Deep down, she hoped that someone would strike her out so she could take it easy on the sidelines.

Esyllt It was odd, but Esyllt felt mentally drained from the day before. The hike itself wasn't that physically taxing, as the hike had been cut short that day, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that something else had happened. She decided she would just sleep it off later, if time allowed her to have a nap. She eyed the four balls lined up in the middle, shaking her head as there wasn't nearly enough balls for the amount of people they had. Most of the girls would probably end up standing around, including her. Esyllt began to do some stretches, for what it was worth. She wanted to sit out at the sidelines and just laze about today.

Rosalvya sends her Slim Sword to the convoy Purchase a Scimitar for 300.

Esyllt Esyllt took her time standing up, not all too enthused at being ordered around. She decided to take the leisure of inspecting her dress for signs of dirt, appearing rather pleased that her dress remained spotless despite having sat on the ground. She made a mental note to herself to own one of these dresses when she got older. She took her time in replying, appearing as if she were perturbed in thought. Her mind was calm, having regained her composure. She turned, as if finally noticing Eden and Kaede waiting on her response. "I'll agree to help you," Esyllt stated effortlessly. She had faced Mother Opium many times, having gotten into trouble in the past (much to Mother Opium's displeasure). To Esyllt, this was but another day in Mother Opium's office. Before Eden or Kaede could say anything further, Esyllt continued. "On the condition that you release these two girls, and ensure their safety. They should pose no threat to you, as like you said, they don't possess powers. These are my terms, should you wish to enlist my assistance."

Soryn Éclaire (49/90) HP. RES: 4, INT: 9, CON: 11 Soryn's pupils narrowed, as the accumulated blood from him and his defeated foes started pouring in from Soryn's supply of blood. It cascaded through the air, hovering all around Jeanne. The blood started to take the form of tiny needles, before launching themselves at Jeanne from all directions. Unable to look away, Soryn stared on. The Blood Well is full... (102/102) Capacity Soryn uses Hemorrhage on Saber, emptying the Blood Well to deal [Contents of Blood Well (102) + 3 damage from accessory: Salience)*1.3 (Nocturnal perk damage modifier) for a devastating total of [137] damage, ignoring 40% of target RES (Vampirism perk). Thanks to Magnum's Hustle Play, Soryn follows up with Impale on Saber, sacrificing (8 HP) to deal ((1.25INT[9] + 65% of Soryn's missing health (after health cost) [32]) + 3 damage from accessory: Salience)*1.3 (Nocturnal perk damage modifier) for a total of [61] damage, ignoring 40% of target RES (Vampirism perk)

Esyllt "Tsk. How irrational," she said with disdain. She hadn't originally intended on transforming herself, but it was just as Eden said; transforming was as easy as thinking it. Esyllt knew a day was being hopeful, but to have only ten minutes to deliberate. There wasn't any choice. She walked over to Platinum for what it was worth, and clasped her hand in an attempt to pull her upwards, but to no avail. Eden could probably crush the two girls if she wanted to. She attempted to do the same with Alva, even knowing the result. Finally, she sat cross-legged on the ground in front of the two girls, with her eyes closed, and her hand clenching her fist. Thankfully, Eden had fallen for her bluff. Alexus was out there. Possibly nearby, judging from Eden's vehement denial of her request for time. She decided to withhold that information from Alva and Platinum, not wanting to give them false hope. For there was no guarantee that they'd all make it out alive, much less be able to find Alexus. But if Eden had identified that Alexus had granted her power, then perhaps, just perhaps, there was a chance for Alexus to find Esyllt. She would have to bide her time, waiting for a miracle. Ironic, considering how previously she was a non-practicing Alexian. She finally opened her eyes, and looked into Platinum and Alva's eyes. "Seeing as how you two are just as involved as anyone else here, I wanted to make sure you at least had a chance to have a say in the matter. Granted, we don't really have an option," Esyllt explained carefully. She tried to do so in a manner that wouldn't alarm the other two girls. She herself could barely contain her shaking, if only to appear brave in front of Alva and Platinum. After a brief pause that seemed to last several moments, Esyllt continued. "I... have decided to go along Eden. I don't agree with what she's trying to do, nor do I want to perform actions under her orders. But I'll be able to at least negotiate both of your freedoms. It should be a negligible request for that girl to grant, considering neither of you have powers."

Esyllt Esyllt, having her sight trained on Eden, had thought her eyes had betrayed her. She turned her head for but a moment to see Alva and Platinum engulfed halfway into the ground, before Eden had alarmingly appeared in front of her. Too shocked by the sudden procession of events, Esyllt remained locked in place. A bead of sweat rolled down from her forehead, as Esyllt dared not take her eyes off of Eden, for fear of what she might do next. But what Eden had said next was enough to break her out of her stasis. One of us had their powers unlocked? If Kaede didn't have her power before, that means I have a one in three chance of having something, anything, that would let us escape. And a one in three chance were gambling odds Esyllt would take. Thankfully, Eden had already told her how to activate her power. The question was, what then? Would she alone be enough to hold off Eden and Kaede? What about Alva and Platinum? Was it a reasonable choice for her to fight back in this situation? What if- Too many trains of thought were racing across Esyllt's mind, and one of them, was the intention to transform. It only took no longer than half a second, before a flash of light blinded the vicinity. Before Esyllt knew it, her clothes had transformed into a halter neck dress which covered her chest and wrapped around her neck, with the rest of the fabric running down the length of body down to her ankles. There were slits on the side of the dress, starting from the thigh downwards. Her shoulders were laid bare, but white markings adorned her skin, originally tracing down to her fingertips, forming what appeared to be opera gloves. A translucent scarf seemed to float behind her, flowing in the non-existent wind. Her hair turned completely snow white, her irises taking on the former golden color of her hair. Tendrils lashed out wildly in all directions, undirected, uncontrolled. Her dress seemed to weigh nothing, her clothing seeming to allow her to move freely, almost as if matching her movements. And thus Esyllt stood, transformed. She quickly regained her composure, and started calculating her next actions. She didn't know the basis for her powers, and Eden had hostages. Everything was a gamble from this point onwards. A risky gambit, but Esyllt decided she would bluff her way out. Esyllt breathed, mustering her courage, and composing her voice as much as possible. "...Allow me some time to discuss with the other three girls in private. You wouldn't have approached us with your offer if you didn't require our help, correct? Then it would be a waste to kill invaluable allies," she said in her unwavering facade. If she were reading the situation incorrectly, this perhaps may very well cost her life. Realistically, she needed to buy at least one day. Enough time to discuss it over with Alva and Platinum, and to perhaps dissuade Kaede. All else fails, she would spend the time learning about her power. For who knows how indisposable it could be. "Three days. We'll have an answer for you then. I assume you'll be able to find us regardless of where we'll be, so that shouldn't pose a problem, would it."

Esyllt Esyllt's eyes narrowed, as she felt her stomach clench with unease, and her expression turned grave. The cadence of the girl's voice made her believe that her words weren't just empty threats. The girl in the dress didn't look armed, but Esyllt wasn't planning on taking any chances, especially not with the other two girls with her. Kaede was a different story, having agreed to the whole scheme of tearing down a government, not even phased by the death threat. There was something about the girl in the dress, something dangerous, that made her want to run. To even be considering a coup d'état was insane. Being the oldest, she would take charge, and she would make sure the other two younger girls were going to be safe. In a hushed voice, hopefully quiet enough for the hostile girl to not hear, she carefully gave instructions to Alva and Platinum. "...Calm down. Now listen to me carefully. What I want you to do, is to prepare to run. Back to the cabins, tell a teacher, and lock yourselves in the cabin. I don't think we should have anything to do with the girl in the silver dress. On my signal, I want you to run." Studying the girl in the dress very carefully, as well as Kaede in the event that she decided to take the new girl's sidem, Esyllt planned staying behind should the girl give chase to Alva or Platinum. If the girl in the dress tried to hurt anyone, she would at least try to buy the other girls time to get away. With bated breath, she uttered one word. "Run."

Esyllt Upon Ms. Carstin's request, Esyllt reluctantly resumed heading up the trail. A girl who was wearing an ornate dress, just lying in the middle of the trail like that? With no external injuries, Esyllt found that a little hard to believe. She trotted up to Platinum, curious as to what her take on the situation was. "I don't suppose you know of any parties we're missing out on?" Esyllt said in a joking manner, as she referred to the girl's dress. She realized it was an ill thing to jest about an unconscious girl this close to a cemetery, but the mood certainly was going south from what was supposedly a pleasant outdoor excursion. To a cemetery. She crossed her arms and furrowed her brow in thought. "In all seriousness, I can't imagine anyone who would come out this far wearing a dress. Even if it is to visit the cemetery. What do you think happened, Platinum?" She didn't recognize the girl who had passed out on the trail. Was she even a student of the institute? She couldn't help but be curious, as it was the first thing that had happened in months. Probably.

Soryn Éclaire (46/90) HP (Accounting for burn this turn)(Afflicted with Burn [10 dmg/turn for 1 turns] RES: 4, INT: 9, CON: 11 Soryn gritted his teeth against Jeanne's attack, refusing to budge an inch from her attacks. For he knew that Jeanne had to have suffered the even greater pain of betrayal. "I regret to do this to you, Jeanne, but you must rest once more," he said somberly. For him, who was one of the countrymen who was saved by Jeanne, harming her seemed like betraying her after she had died once before. He steeled himself once more, refusing to stand down. "I will never forget what you did for our country." The Blood Well is at (57/102) Capacity!

Esyllt Esyllt turned to see how the rest of her cabin was doing, only to see Lexi and another girl falling behind. She trotted back, curious as to what the holdup was. "That's not necessarily true, Platinum! Some people study trees for a living," she said playfully. She then looked towards Lexi and Haley with a curious look. She hadn't met the inhabitants of Cabin 6, whom were joining them on the hike. "What's wrong, Lexi? You and your friend tired already? But we've only just begun!"

Esyllt "My, everyone has such diverse hobbies," she said with amusement. "I'd love for us to all do some of those activities together. But first things first. Let us receive our schedules, shall we?" Esyllt strolled towards the door, before gesturing everyone to follow suit.

Magna Sigyl (54/54) HP. RES: 4 (6 vs. magical attacks), SYN: 11, INT: 10, CON: 2 "So you'd like to see burning, would you?" said Magna. "That can be arranged." Magna's Officer A (15/100 HP) uses Ignite on Bel Lahmu A, dealing [1d6 + SYN(10)] + [Magna's SYN(11)/2 rounded up] (Summoner's Influence Perk) for a total of [1d6 + 16] damage, and inflicting burn damage of SYN[10] for 3 turns.

Magna uses Reap on Dragon Tooth Beast B, killing it immediately, restoring (75% of target's remaining health [12]) to Magna's Officer A and B! Soryn Éclaire (90/90) HP RES: 4, INT: 9, CON: 11 Soryn's face went pale upon seeing Saber. Despite knowing the identity of Saber ahead of time and having braced himself during the journey here, seeing her in person was a little unsettling. "Oh Jeanne... I was but a boy when I witnessed the burning. How has this come to be...?" he murmured to himself. The Blood Well is at (57/102) Capacity! Soryn uses Hemosphere on Mitsu, consuming (25% of Soryn's current HP [23]) to shield Mitsu for (1.5*(Health cost [23]) a total of [35] HP.

"Come on girl, you shouldn't be lying on the ground. You don't know how clean the floor is," Esyllt said with a gentle tone, before scooping up Lexi like a princess. And then proceeding to throw her onto one of the bottom bunks. She gave Lexi a mischievous grin, before turning to the inhabitants of the cabin. From the looks of it, Esyllt had assumed she was the oldest among the four. Normally she was terrible at judging the ages of others, but she figured one of them would correct her if she was wrong. "I'm just going to keep talking, so you all can continue unpacking. My name is Esyllt Morrianas, and it looks like I will be the cabin head this year. That being said, I would rather you think of it as just a formality." Truthfully, she didn't want the responsibility of being cabin head. Esyllt wasn't the bossy type to begin with, as she believed in having a laissez-faire attitude. "You can just talk to me as a peer, and that will suffice. If you have any questions about the camp, feel free to ask. But most of all, just have fun with it. So until we have to get the schedules from the teachers, why don't we all introduce ourselves? Just your name is fine, but it'd be nice to say something about yourself."

D6, Leaf on the Wind

Magna Sigyl "Well naturally, Rizu! What else would I be using to see?" Magna fumed. If she had bodily functions, she was sure she'd be positively steaming by now! "If you so hadn't abruptly interrupted me, I would have been doing very important things! I was- was...." Magna stopped to pause mid-sentence. "...Eh, I forgot. It had something to do with something or some other, but I'm sure it'll be fine." "You also mentioned you were repairing yourself? With what? Can you also shoot laser beams?" Magna asked excitedly.

Magna Sigyl "Rizu is you!" Magna exclaimed in disbelief, still all riled up in a jiff. The nerve of this lass! She hadn't noticed the robot due to the lack of organic and/or living matter within Ritsu. This is why she preferred the living, as they were far easier to see with Magna's innate ability to visualize a representation of their souls. "My eyes just aren't what they used to be!" Which was true in a sense, considering she didn't have organic eyes. Soryn Éclaire "Unfortunately dear, my name still remains to be Soryn," He didn't do so much as blink during Sachi's flailing, having perceived the motion before it happened. He would never understand mortals and their eternal distress. Their desperate attempt to struggle for their few years of life seemed so alien, as it was just a drop in time to him. "I was going to invite you for some tea, as I managed to procure some from the soldiers. It's unfortunately not of very good quality, but I find it more of the act of doing so to be relaxing in and of itself. Perhaps you'd like to join me. I believe it would do you some good in calming the nerves, unless you not prefer company at the moment."

Magna Sigyl In her hurry, Magna felt her leg catch on something metallic, before tumbling straight in the ground. "Hey! Who leaves their weapon lying around like that?!? Why I oughta-" Magna said in a huff, as she sprung to her feet. Dusting herself off, It was no wonder why she didn't notice (other than her inattention) what she tripped on; It was none other than the robot whom she had met earlier. "What's the big idea, Rizu?"

Soryn Éclaire "...Miss Sachi..?" Soryn gently rested his hand on Sachi's shoulder, an attempt at grabbing the young girl's attention. She had seemed to be contemplating something deep in thought, if it weren't for the distressed squeal she had emitted. "Is everything all right? Perhaps you may want to visit one of our healers if you sustained any injuries during your last battle?" Magna Sigyl Meanwhile, a familiar grim reaper could be seen comically running towards the barracks.

100% less food poisoning pls

Magna Sigyl "Nope, not a clue. Could be any Servant, though one under the class of 'Caster' would be a probably be a good guess. I agree that the magic surrounding our castle is a bit of an issue, but there's no need for haste. At the moment, we're not really in any immediate peril, nor are we able to undo the barrier done upon the castle, so I'd suggest we just meet up with the rest of our group. Best to concoct a plan, than to rush foolhardily in the enemy's hand," she shrugged. Magna crouched down low, balancing the haft of her scythe on her finger, and began to spin it like a toy. "As for what we're facing, it could be a Trespasser, or we could have just been dragged into this world's politics. Couldn't really tell you. But if that's the case, I'm sure we'll run into it sooner or later. As for how many? Let's see, Rider's dead from the getgo... we're allied with Archer, whom you've had the pleasure of briefly meeting, and the remainder of our group should be fighting Berserker and Assassin right about now. If all goes well, that will leave three of the seven, Saber, Caster, and Lancer. Worst case scenario, they're all dead and there's five to go."

Magna Sigyl The Battered Hero. Someone who was more of a sore spot than useful. Anyone capable of producing that strong of a hallucinogen was some kind of higher power in the grander scheme of things. He was even bothering to kidnap more people for his cause. "I'd be happy to stand around all day, but you seem intent on otherwise. Well, that," she pointed to the castle with her scythe. "Is our fortification. It's what brought us here, and it's what is probably going to get us out as well. But we have a little bit of a problem on our hands." With a snap of her fingers, she realized that with her gloves on, she wasn't going to make a noise. Nevertheless, she had one of her magicians fire a shard of ice into the castle, only to have it not do so much as a dent. The barrier enveloping the castle remained in-tact, showing no sign of weakness despite the previous attacks from the siege equipment. "Something decided it was a good idea to seal our castle and everything inside it. This is most likely due to of the beings known as a 'Servant'. Mythological heroes from history materialized here to fight to the death. You seem to already know what Trespassers are, so I'll skip that. Feel free to ask questions, I suppose." Soryn Éclaire "The group is bigger than what you see here, ours being only but a quarter of the whole. We have also made contact with the... friendlier inhabitants of this world, whom we should meet up with," Soryn explained. "We should also take the siege equipment with us, lest the enemy decides to use it for another attack. I'm sure our group's engineer would love to tinker with that, perhaps mount it on our castle or at our allies' fort."

Magna Sigyl "Reinforcements? More like Nobunaga did all the work," Magna grumbled. Her attention turned more to the remains of the battlefield, looking to desecrate some corpses for her benefit. Lifting her scythe in the air, she began to twirl it slowly, as it started to pick up speed. Souls began to rise from the remains of the battlefield, and absorb itself into Magna and her minions. To her, it appeared as a spectacle of lights rising from the corpses, but the others probably wouldn't be able to discern the light of the souls. At the same time, the remaining officer and two dragon tooth beasts rose from the ground, their eyes taking a familiar red glow as Magna's. As soon as she finished, she sent her minions to scatter about the area nearby to keep watch. She turned back to address the group of newcomers. "What business do you folk have here?" Soryn Éclaire Soryn stared distastefully at Magna, as he disapproved of her practices. He sensed no blood or vitals from Magna, indicating that she most likely was an undead. A lich, most likely. And that he would never get along with her. Though it pained him to admit, she had the right idea of utilizing the corpses to replenish herself. But such a barbaric act of feeding was.. less than desirable, especially for those around him. Soryn slowly began to draw the scattered blood through the ground and towards him. He would store the liquid and consume it later in private. He turned to Walmond to address his question. "They appear amicable, but be cautious if you must greet them."
