  1. What I´ve been feeling is that some scenes are going faster than others. But again, that´s a minor issue as of now, if you compare to stuff like Ymora XD. Aaaanyway, the post is in the works guys, just today was hella crazy with school work and exams. Tomorrow morning most likely I´ll have it all written.
  2. Soorry guys, I was travelling again so I didn´t get the time to post lately. As Tachibana pointed out, this might be getting a bit too fast for some people (and that´s something I´ve been thinking for some time Tachi, it´s not just you that might have this problem.) So, what do you say if we slow a down a bit? I´ll refrain from posting in a scene until everyone involved on it has answered or made clear that no answer is needed, and I ask that you guys also try to not carry on too fast. Can we give it a try?
  3. I was thinking on finishing the scene mysef, but if you prefer to do it sooner and go find the others no probem.
  4. Gabriel "So what about everyone else? Not everyone said what they were here for.." "Well, we live here." Arael said smiling, referring to the angels "We are all apprentices under different crafters* - it just happens our masters´ ateliers are close to each other. I study energy healing, Nephilim is a summoner and Conah is trying to master arcane magic." After Arael, it was Iceliste´s turn to speak, with the typical hissing in the end of her sentences. "I come from Izdaz, a city in the base of the Desolation Peaks to the West. My specialty is magic items crafting, but I´m not doing any research on it right now. Actually, I´m kind of in the same situation of Lerodoch, trying to get some partnerships for the magic school we have over there, Izdaz Academy. I´m it´s principal, so I couldn´t let the opportunity slip." "Heey, I heard of that place! It´s one of the few magic schools of the Monstrous Races, right? Ando you´re the principal? Talk about cool!"" The human Rian said cheerfully. "Well, me and Max here come from Jewel, the mining city to the north. We´re doing research about minerals with magical properties, but honestly we decided to come more because of the trip itself than anything else." Raziel "My shift has just started, so I´m staying here till 10pm. I´ll let my replacement know about your case if you don´t come until then, so don´t worry." the guard answered. Jorgen A few minutes later, they had arrived at the guard station. It was located in the ground floor of the angelic army´s building, a huge and imposing skyscraper covered in mirrors. The officer that brought Jorgen left him in a waiting room and went to talk with his superior. Moments later, he got back with an older looking angel, tipical blond hair and blue eyes, but strong for one of his race. "Ah, so that´s him." he said raising an eyebrow. "Take him to the interrogation room, I´ll just have to handle something before." Jorgen was taken to a clean, empty and totally white room were waited again, though it didn´t take long for the chief to appear again, apologizing for the delay. He asked again the standard questions about Jorgen´s background, what had happened, how the attacker looked like and such - all in all, the whole process was faster than Jorgen expected. "And that will be all for the moment." the boss angel said while getting up. "We might need to question you again though, depending on how the investigation goes. Where can we find you if we need to, sir?" Lucille After a bit of walking, Lucille heard a groan coming from Bora´s back - more specifically, the prisoner lying over it´s back. The angel opened his eyes slowly, seeming completely disoriented. "...What... Where am I...?" *((The term "Crafter" for angels refers to master mages who are focused on research and the creation of new spells and magic techniques. Marblegate is filled with crafters´ ateliers))
  5. Jorgen " Possible. But don´t worry too much, I believe your story due to... circumstances. We´ll just try to clear out what happened at the station, please understand." He then waved his hand and a pair of glowing rings appeared around Jorgen´s wrists. Clearly no conventional handcuff, although the cyborg couldn´t tell just how strong they were. "Shall we get going?"
  6. Gabriel Ledoroch scratched the back of his head, a bit reluctant to tell him. "Well, you see... My clan is known for being one of the strongest with blood magic. It runs in the family, so most Deargs are way more powerful than your average blood mage. As you can imagine that gave us quite the renown during the war, in a way that I... don´t like much. That´s why I chose to speciallize in medicine by the way." Jorgen "... Uhmn, I didn´t see any such a person back there." said the officer to Jorgen. Then he turned to his subordinates. "You both go after this guy, I´ll take the gentleman here to the station so we can clear the matter." That said, he turned back to Jorgen. "Sorry to ask this, but may I handcuff you? Standard procedures, you know."
  7. Up to you, it´s just RNPCA#5553827. No, seriously, if I don´t give a description it´s most likely a character of minor importance, so you guys are free to choose an appearance for them if you need.
  8. Gabriel "Yep, there´s people like that everywhere, even nowadays. I´m sure you guys heard about the murders of Alliance politicians in Shadowveil and The Thousand... Don´t you think here could be the next target?" said. "Jeez, don´t say things like that!" spoke Iceliste, the lizard-girl. "It attracts bad luck." "Hehe, it´s weird hearing a scholar talking about things such as luck. Anyway, I don´t think we´re in much danger, after all we´re students, not politicians. Even though the Dearg clan is a famous one, I believe we simply don´t suit the attacker´s tastes." Arael, one of the angels, answered. Raziel The guard just raised an eyebrow. "Yes, this is an Alliance facility, and that´s exactly why I can´t let you in without checking, sir." He then took something that looked like a small clipboard from his pocket. A moment later it shone with a blue light and a screen appeared from it, which the guard scrolled down until he recognized something. He then looked back at Raziel and said. "Yep, looks like you´re in the list sir. But someone mispelled your name, it´s written Raziel in here. Go on please, and sorry for the trouble." Jorgen "...I had been jumped in an alleyway by an angel with a mysterious glove claiming he wanted to try his new stolen magic on me and, well, I was triggered." That piece of information seemed to interest the angel officer quite a bit, as his semblance changed instantly after hearing what Jorgen said. "Stolen Magic? But when we entered the alley there was no one else there. How did the guy look like?" He started aking, clearly wanting more details. Rhaeza e Jarvis "Uhmnpf!-" the man struggled a bit before realizing he was in no situation to fight, then nodded and let Rhaeza carry him, still with an angry look in his eyes. ((@Strat: Just a biit more patience mate, I´m waiting for the other scenes to develop a bit more. You have free rein till there to develop yours as well)) ((Jesse and Lisa may rendez vous with the others whenever they want ok?))
  9. ^ True. I tend to generally use only the last thing spoken by another character on the quoted post. Also Typh and Tachibana, you guys can make Jesse and Lisa meet the others at the hotel if you want to. EDIT: Also CG, can you tell me if you plan on having Misara walk around the city more or just find them in the hotel too?
  10. Welp, the day needs to end sometime, doesn´t it? XD Not dusk actually, just night. Remember he has a kid with him.
  11. Bargus, Misara & Karol Haze´s icy blue eyes followed Misara as she walked away. Whatever train of thought he was having by then was interrupted by Kana´s reaction to Karol and Bargus, though. "Yey!" Kana shouted, excited by the news "We can play together can´t we, Mr. Haze?" "Of course Kana, as long as you don´t bother them." Haze answered with a gentle smile. "It´s a pleasure to meet you. Shall we get going then? It´s getting late." Raziel The guard raised an eyebrow. "Vermillio as in the demon commander? Yeah, that bastard´s given us more trouble than any other in the war. What of it?" Then, with a suspicious look on his face he asked again. "What´s your name?" Gabriel Juliet raised an eyebrow. "Wow, that´s impressive! My research isn´t on the medical field though, I´m working on ways to tranfer energy without the use of wires. Our tech on this field is far too limited and there´s a chance that with magic we can enhance it. It´s going a bit slow, but I´m sure we´ll get there eventually!" she said, smiling. "Humn, that´s interesting. You´d need advanced space control magic to make it work with total efficiency, and it could relate to Lord Qaspiel´s Portal research*. You know, how all of Myriad´s mana - or life energy, or whatever you call it - is believed to flow through them from the other worlds." Conah said. He then put a hand on his chin and grinned "You know, if someone told me a month ago that I´d be having a friendly conversation with humans, monsters and demons about magic research, and actually learning stuff, I´d most likely laugh on the person´s face. I guess our people have to review some ideas we have about other races." Jorgen The city guard caught up with Jorgen fast and surrounded him. "You! Don´t move" said the one seemingly in charge, a dark haired, black eyed fellow-pretty unusual appearence for an angel. He then signaled for one of his subordinates to search him, and while the other was doing it, kept asking. "Identify yourself, and tell us why did you flee." Jarvis & Rhaeza While Jarvis was getting his water (accompanied by a remark from the barkeep about how almost no one there bought that kind of stuff) the captive seemed to start to wake up, slowly opening his eyes and taking in what had happened. *((Cultural Note 2: Qaspiel is one of the four founders of the alliance, and the one who led research on controlling the permanent World Portals existent in the three Gate Cities (Marblegate, The Thousand and Shadowveil). A mix of magic and human tech, only completed after the formation of the Alliance, his work allows to control where the Portals open to.))
  12. Aand new stuff guys! That´s Myriad´s preliminary map! I´ll fill it up as we progress with the story. It´s fixed in the OP as well. It´s easier to read the locations´ names if you download the file by the way.
  13. Yup, that´s your cue. XD If you want to be on the same hotel as them or not though, that´s up to you.
  14. Misara, Karol & Bargus "Why does the little kid even need a bodyguard? Surely her parents or something are more than enough." "She´s an orphan." Haze answered lowering his gaze. " I´m sure having someone to guard her in a foreign city isn´t that uncommon. But I do understand your concern, and apreciate it." Haze then kneeled and looked straight at Kana. "Little miss, don´t you think this is enough playing already? You´re causing trouble to the ladies and gentleman here." "Humn!" Kana at first stomped the floor with her little right foot and looked away, in a stubborn gesture. But, after a few moments of Haze´s clear gaze, she lowered her head and faced the floor, as if ashamed. "...Sorry Misses and Mister..." She said, walking by herself to Haze´s side. He patted her head and smiled when she arrived, which was responded by her showing him her tongue. Then she faced Misara´s group again and smiled too. "It was fun though! You guys are so strong!" The guards watched all this bewildered - in fact, the short one was facepalming - and the one who seemed to be in command snapped. "What? No way, after all this confusion you foreigners are all coming to the station. Drop your weapons and come now!" "That won´t be necessary, officer." Haze said, pulling a piece of paper from his pocket and showing the guard. He looked surprised, and cast a spell to check the thing´s autenticity. Although he didn´t like it, it seemed he was convinced. "All right, all right. Just don´t get in any more trouble for God´s sake." He gestured to his subordinate to follow him and walked away. "Well, good. Which hotel are you all staying at? We´re at Central Hotel." Haze asked. Gabriel "Well, if you want to tell me more about it later I´ll se what I can do. Or if you ever drop by Shadowveil you can go to the Dearg Clan house to have treatment." Lerodoch answered, deciding not to press on the matter. Then Juliet spoke up. "Avalon is that academy on the West, by the Glass Sea, isn´t it? You must be really talented to be studying there at your age! What are you researching there?" Raziel There was an angel with a city guard uniform guarding the entrance to the building. He held a golden spear about his own size, and crossed it in front of Raziel to block his passage when he approached. "Sorry sir, but only autorized personel can enter here. Please state your business and identify yourself."
  15. Ok, back from the break. I´m sorry it turned out that way Huk, but do what you think is best. The whole point of this is to enjoy ourselves and, if that´s not happening, then no problem at all. Just keep in mind it was never my intention, nor I think it was anyone´s to disrespect you. For me it´s the opposite actually, you´re one of the writers I admire the most among the ones I had the pleasure to meet. Sorry friend. But hey, moving on! Glad to see Lisa back in action! And now that the alley party is over, I´m back to doing a hella ton updates! Yey! ... It´s worth the work though. Let´s get this going! XD
  16. Ok, party is over A moment later three guards went past the place where the team had knocked down the magic thief, shouting and pointing at the figure jumping on the rooftops. It was pretty obvious that they´ve fallen for Jorgen´s bait, leaving the way free for Lucille and Raziel. Now, Jorgen on the other hand had a problem: his pursuers had wings. Although he was pretty fast himself and had a headstart, the angels were steadily closing in. Eventually they would end up on the city walls, where he had nowhere else to jump, or in the city inside the mountain... Misara, Bargus, Karol ((People who left the alleyway party group can already join in if the want to.)) "Nah, I was just doing some shopping and thought I'd show off what a Sniper Rifle can do. Bargus wanted to put on a light show and Missy wanted to show off her fancy toothpick." ((#acidKarol strikes XD)) The man smiled at them "Well, it´s heart warming to see the world still has people that willing to help others. I´m sorry if my subordinates had you thinking we meant ill, but this is just a misunderstanding." He scratched the back of his head, as if apologizing. "The little miss over there is called Cana Kefraas, and she is here to attend the student meeting. I´m Haze, her bodyguard." He paused a bit for the information to sink. "We were going back to ou hotel for her to take a bath, but the little miss hates water. Then she just ran away when we got distracted." Gabriel "I wonder, what about, say, illnesses people are born with? I know those have always been difficult to truly cure, since technically the body isn't sick; it's just naturally in poor condition, in a manner of speaking." "It depends on the symptoms. If they´re related to the blood´s composition, it´s actually pretty easy to treat. For example, a case of anemia is easily solvable by increasing iron concentration in the bloodstream. We are also developing ways of treating hormone related diseases. Do you have an specific case im mind?" ((I assume Jarvis and Rhaeza have more talking to do before moving on?))
  17. Woah, woah. Sorry, I didn´t realize! I read the last posts in a hurry and thought you´d already left. Sorry for the huge mistake Huk, I´m editing right now. Edited so I only mentioned Jesse. You can make Luna go with him or stay close to the others, up to you. Please don´t drop, I just didn´t enough pay attention and screwed up
  18. Bargus, Karol, Misara The thug didn´t expect a reaction that fast. Because of Bargus´ flames, his teammates couldn´t use the window created by Karol aiming at him; the angel officers were just preparing their spells yet and to boot, there was a sword coming at blinding speed towards his arm. Just then, they heard the sound of metal crashing into metal as something deflected both the bullet and the sword. The thug fell to the floor, rolling sideways out of the danger line as Misara took the girl, and looked around confused. The white haired man had arrived, holding in his hands two pitch black pistols. The air tensed for a moment while he stared with icy blue eyes at each of the fighters, but then he just put them back in their holsters, smiled and raised his hands. "Ok, ok, why don´t we calm down a bit? By the way you´re acting, it seems to me you´re actually just trying to protect the kids from the bad guys, right?" He asked Misara´s group. Jarvis & Rhaeza The man was tall, young and strong, but still was unable to break free from Jarvis. He fought for quite a while but eventually stopped moving, seemingly unconcious. He was wearing jeans and a social shirt, and had no weapons to be seen. There was a wallet with a little money on his pocket, but nothing other than that to help identify him. Alleyway Party Soon after Jesse left the rest of them started hearing voices coming from the mais street. "...They went that way officer! There was a man with metallic parts and a girl with a huge bear! They seemed dangerous." "Thank you very much. Follow me guards!" It was pretty obvious that this whole mess had caught the city guard´s attention, and they were about to arrive. Gabriel "I mean, there are cures that target or work through the blood, but using actual blood magic to heal people? That's intriguing, although it does sound kinda dangerous..." "It´s actually a bit more complicated than usual bllod magic. Most demons only train to use it as a weapon, controlling their opponents bodies, and other stuff we´ve seen in use on the wars. First aid blood magic is already a bit used, as you probably know, to stop bleedings and closing small wounds, but if you focus on controlling it in a more refined manner, you can alter, to a certain degree, the composition of the blood itself, locate and elliminate sick cells, stabilize the flow and even repair organs internally. It is really difficult to achieve mastery though, and my clan is trying to raise funds to build a med school based on that. Or at least I am." The blue demon answered. Then he extended a hand. "Hello, I´m Lerodoch. These are Rian, Maximilian, Juliet, Iceliste..." he said, pointing to the human brothers, the demi-human and the lizard girl, respectively, then he turned to the angels "...Arael, Nephilim and Conah. Welcome to our little study group." All of them made one or other gesture to welcome him; the humans smiled, the girls waved at him and the angels nodded respectfully. "So, where are you from? Are you liking Marblegate?" the one named Nephilim asked.
  19. Alley Party "Deceit won't get you out of this; your pulse will still betray you. I'll take a finger for every lie you try to tell, regardless how small it is, and once you're out of those on your free hand, I'll move on to other parts...parts you''ll miss alot more." Being told that by a blind girl with a Dire Bear was unsettling enough, not to mention Luna´s sinister stare that seemed almost as if it was out of a horror movie. The angel shivered and started talking. "Ok, ok, I´ll tell you. It´s all because of this glove. I´ve ever been weak as a mage, only able to use some basic sigil magic." He seemed pained. "Then a guy gave me this glove and said I could make other´s power mine with it. He was - " Then the glove started to glow within Raziel´s barrier. It didn´t look like it was work of the angel, as he began to scream in agony. A moment later, the glove erupted in flames and burned at an unnatural speed until only ashes remained - the captive´s hand included. After that, he passed out from the shock. Jarvis & Rhaeza A minute later the man opened the door. He looked around, probably searching for Jarvis, and then started walking towards the alley they were in. He was just around the corner looking like he would pass by the duo without noticing them. Misara, Karol, Bargus "This is your last warning. Back off and I'll forget about all of this" Now with three versus three, the thugs had to stop and think again about using force. Specially looking at Bargus´ flaming axe. The two angel officers, who had already arrived, also looked shocked seeing Karol draw her rifle without any exitation. Than everyone started talking at the same time. "What? Ok, you are all going to the station right now! Everyone drop your weapons!" "As if! Can´t you winged dolts see there´s a kidnapping going on here? Get the girl with the sword!" "And how do we know who are the kidnappers? You three drop your knives immediately!" In the confusion, one of the thugs lunged forward to try and grab the girl. Gabriel "...Really? I´d never think of that approach. Guess we don´t know enough about blood magic´s use for treating sicknesses." a white haired angel was saying to the blue demon. "And that´s just one of it´s uses. I heard a group in The Thousand is using it in the human´s blood transfusion techniques with pretty good results. And you can´t even imagine how much the hospitals in Shadowveil are enjoying their tech for treatment." he answered. It was then that one of the humans noticed Gabriel. He was about to say something when he noticed the book he was reading and realized the "kid" was there for the meeting, proceeding then to greet him "Hello, what´s your name kid?". ((Little problem with connection here, my net will only be back to normal this Wednesday. Until then I´ll have to rely on finding wi-fi spots, so I won´t be replying regularly.))
  20. I mean in these three days she´ll be off. Unless has at least a bit of net connection.
  21. You still there CG? May I bunny Misara until you get back to keep things running?
  22. Gabriel The upper floor was just as filled with book shelves as the first. The disposition was different though, with only one big table on the center of the room. It was circular as the small ones, and on it´s middle there was a platform of the same format, filled with more books, which the clients could rotate to choose volume they wanted. The table was practically full, with just one or two chairs left unatended. The ones sitting there were an eclectic group, just like Gabriel´s team itself. There were two young humans, probably around their twenties, and looking much alike one another, probably siblings; a demi-human with small antlers; a flan, of all things, and a lizard girl; a blue skinned demon and finally, three angels. Unlike his team though, they didn´t seem to in unfriendly terms with each other. In fact, they were so focused on their debate that they didn´t notice Gabriel coming in.
  23. Ufff. Sorry about the delay folks, but now it´s up. I´m just a bit suprised by how no one flinched when seeing Luna, not knowing it was her. Other than that, everything going smoothly XD
