    It has been two and a half days since Brilliant Deduction's expedition convened at the Scholars' University and headed out to go travel the world in search of ancient human writings. As promised, Brilliant has been leading the bugs around her northwards up and out of the Scholars' Redoubt region, on a path that at times cut through area of grass like the kind of area the Marauders had been encountered in, at times around some of the trees in the area, and that generally seemed just to be trying to beeline through the region to get into the lands generally inhabited by the people of Wasp Hell.

    Nader reached up to scratch at one furry cheek. "To tell the truth, I think I feel more well than I ever have. My... affliction, I think, affects my soul in some way, now, but it's gone from my thoughts. Things haven't been so... clear... ever since the days with my family. It's hard to underestimate just how..." Nader searched for the words. "It's hard to understate just how much of a burden is gone from me now." Nader plopped both of his hands (well, paws) onto Asgore's shoulders. "But you know what this all means? What we were predicting would become of us the last time we, uh, spoke didn't

    Not for the first time and certainly not for the last, Perlita found herself in a disturbing environment and fighting a crazy megalomaniac. Viewing it from that suddenly distant lens, Perlita felt a part of herself suddenly begin to get very tired of the multiverse and its abundance of people who felt entitled to trying to kill her and everybody else that she was trying to protect. But... well... not tired enough of it to stop defending it, she guessed. While everybody else strategized to deal with the deities and buildings and resources and crazy lady, Perlita set herself and prep

    Isobel Low Isobel mostly just stuck her hands in her pockets and waited as the newcomer had (and handily lost, reinforcing Isobel's desire not to antagonize the youkai of this mountain unnecessarily) his spar, and as Masako dealt with the shrine maiden here. At this point in time, she didn't really find that there was much she could do. "Is there somewhere you have planned for us to go next, Masako, like your home or something? I'm finding myself kind of extraneous here." LOTUS "If she wishes to indulge you in this spell-card battle, I am not going to preven

    Sitting in the bushes, Lizaveta had been growing somewhat antsy as the whole mess started to get complicated and drag on with the appearance of Famine of all people. "An Icon of Sin...? This can't be a coincidence, can it? First a drug trade, and then something with them involved...? And if he's working for the King of Perus... they have to be keeping this route open intentionally. It would..." The gears turned in her head for a moment and then her expression darkened behind her mask. "It would explain why they come down on unsanctioned traders like they do... they

    "Mmhmmhmm, yes, I imagine this is all quite momentous. These are incredible discoveries, are they not?" On Brilliant's shoulder, out of her sight (and as only the particularly observant could even catch), Curiosity made a very clearly over-exaggerated thinking expression at this. "To answer your questions... this writing is something that you may or may not have seen yourself if you've ever come across any intact human salvage; there are a lot of lines and curves, but the shapes of the symbols themselves always seem to be the same. It seems to be something very formalized

    Eulalia let out a sigh that was well and truly exhausted, a lot of the vengeful energy she'd had not so long ago drained out of her by this point. "Can't believe I've been doing this poorly. I finally get an opportunity to even the scales after all of this damnnation and torment, and... ugh." Evidently at least not one to give up, Eulalia fired off a blast of magic at one of the remaining fiends. Eulalia to F5, shoot Revenant Q.

    Brilliant reached over and patted both of Stardust's shoulders now. "I'm sorry that I can't promise you won't get into fights... but I'll make sure they go okay, okay? You won't have to be afraid with me around!" "Or me!" "As for what we'll be doing on this journey..." Her body suddenly practically jittering with raw excited energy, Brilliant Deduction dashed right out into the middle of the mingling group, and then twirled dramatically, her cloak whirling around her as she did. "You all are going to be accompanying me on a journey that wil

    (A few minutes ago) It had been a week, but Lizaveta found that she was still shaken up by the incident with Ferdiad -- severely so, even. And, worse, she wasn't even sure just what it was of the many things involved there that was shaking her up. Was it the violence that had very nearly resulted in her death? Maybe... she had expected him to attack, of course, even had been intentionally goading that. But she hadn't expected him to swing a sword at her, even if he'd turned it away so it only clove the table in two. Was it her own behavior that was making her feel so sick about the

    "Yyyyep. Admittedly, it was just the one fight that I was in, but the damn thing was a rabbit." Bend sighed. "It went... worse for me than the fight with those Marauders, I'll admit." That whole awful incident was as a matter of fact the source of several of the scratches on Bend's poor banged-up armor, and the source of a lot of anguish for him besides. He glanced at Soggyshanks for a moment. "Hey, thanks. That's appreciated." Then back to Life-Recorder. "Uh, the names of the guys in lead were Shinywings and, well... Seeker-of-a-Dignified-Deat

    Nader raised a furry hand (a little odd, now that he thought about it -- halfway between hands and paws) in a little wave. "I cut a little bit of a different figure without the armor and the terrifying amount of weaponry and being a fff..." With there being somewhere from two to four children in the house, Nader actually didn't curse for once, "...and, uh, being a tiger, so... I'll probably have to say who I am to your husband. But I don't think I want to interrupt him when he's with his son... would you mind if I just waited for him?" This was a choice motivated by two things. Firstly... well

    Satomi had a lot of negative qualities to her (stubborn to such an extreme point that "to a fault" doesn't adequately describe it, xenophobic [if less than most in her homeland], and possessed of a very fiery temper), but she wasn't stupid. So when this man began speaking the way he did, mysterious and his words practically dripping with double meanings, her little defensive blustering fell away and she fell silent, just listening, just contemplating what he was saying. After a few moments of silence, she eventually spoke up. "...you're being literal and figurative at the same time

    Having mostly just watched the process of Heidrun allowing the ghost to move on with an air of what could best be described as "rapt awkwardness", unable to contribute at all to the process but ultimately at least glad that this suffering person could finally find a way out of all the pain that this horrible place had brought. When it was finished, Navin let out a long, quiet breath. "We may as well look around to see if there is anything that needs handling for the sake of public safety, or anything that is potentially useful. You are probably right that the group that stole the briefcase is

    Isobel Low Truth be told, Isobel ended up just kind of feeling awkward as she watched the newcomer get into a swordfight with the guardian. It wasn't that she was worried -- Isobel was no expert on sword sparring or anything, but the whole thing seemed mutually agreed-upon and under control, so she didn't really figure that anything was going to go wrong. It was just that... well... honestly, she kind of had no idea in the slightest what she was doing and now was kind of just standing around. And... she wasn't really sure what she was doing up here in the first place, still? It was

    Bend chimed in, tangential to the conversation between Lotus and Mercy Harefoot. "Hey, I have been in a battle before that! Just, uh, not against other bugs." And he'd been kind of mauled without managing to do much in the way of contribution, but they didn't need to know that.
  16. Powder Miner
    Bend shrugged a little awkwardly at Harefoot, electing to ignore a great deal of the energy and chaos around them. "So, it's not your fault or anything, but boy did some shit go down at there. We actually ran into --get this-- Marauders of all things on the way there, and the fight was... well, it was pretty bad, man. Hopefully things'll be a bit smoother with everyone else around to help out if shit goes down again when we're doing whatever we're doing for the scholar." "Oh, and I'm Recruit Bend, by the way." As for Brilliant Deduction, she reached... not actua

    The blood and bustle of the battle against the death-seeking Marauders had forced an early halt to the day's travel -- there's no sense in trying to spend the day walking when you're a collection of heavily wounded and bleeding newbies who had mostly just experienced their first battles. Thankfully, the termites of Built Upon Ruins had the hospitality to put the delegation up in their hive (possessed of a frantic industriousness, but too small to manage quite the levels of size and bustle as the Redoubt), in part as thanks for essentially protecting them from the first Marauder raid in years.

    "Well... kind of, yeah. You weren't exactly light on me through all that, huh?" Bend let that sit for just a moment as he pulled out his flute, and with a little toot helped the wound finish up its healing and further diminished the pain. "But, y'know... you're just a kid. Being pushy isn't worth getting hurt like that at all. You're... what, 5, 6? I'm not just going to let you sit there and suffer just because you were a bit annoying. That'd be incredibly callous." Here, Bend let out a small sigh. "Plus, I know what it's like to be the person

    "Yeah.... sometimes things do really hurt. It's a shame you had to get caught up in all of that." Bend sighed, and fussed with the bandage a little, trying to tighten it a bit before resigning himself to the fact that his handiwork was kind of just shit. The question she let out at him drew his attention, though. "Why... what?" She was probably asking why she'd been attacked, or why he'd healed her. He wasn't sure which.

    When Stardust began absolutely screaming and wailing at the top of her lungs, Bend couldn't say that he had really been caught by surprise, because the moment he saw her get hit (and it was actually bad, too) he knew that things were about to get really ugly. But that didn't mean it was pleasant by any means, because she sure was loud. ...he did feel for her, too. Even as obnoxious as she was, Stardust really was a kid, and it was pretty screwed up that this whole bloody fight had happened. Even he had only been in something this bloody once before, and it hadn't been fighting bugs then. Sighi

    "I don't suppose that I could just intimidate her(?)," his tone wavered a little bit, as the idea of an inanimate object having a gender was a bit off to Nader, but she was probably just some sort of robot, "into behaving better, huh? Past that, I can try my best, but like I said, I don't really know how to do magic or anything." He laughed just a little. "So maybe plainlt scaring her straight should be kept on the table. Probably not while I'm in the middle of talking with Asgore, though, admittedly... that wouldn't likely do much to convince him that I'm actually fine now and NOT going to go

    Satomi started a little as something started talking to her -- a dark blur sitting on one of the rooftops, which in the darkness of night, Satomi was only just able to resolve as a humanoid silhouette (and if he had been wearing something greyer, she doubted she'd have been able to do that). Her response to his words, though, was defensive and immediate -- "No, I know perfectly well where I'm going!" She didn't need directions, of course she wasn't just... well... okay... maybe she WAS lost, but that didn't mean she didn't have it under control! She could totally figure out somewhere useful to

    Somewhat awkwardly, Bend patted Pinecone on one armored shoulder, producing a light clacking sound. "It's, uh, don't worry about it. It's... you kinda were totally fine for most of it? You're not expected to be invincible." He patted Pinecone's shoulder once again, and then visibly winced as he moved towards Stardust, pulling out a bandage and placing some of his vulnerary herbs onto it. This was probably not going to be pleasant.

    Perlita shifted just a little awkwardly as Lyra removed her helmet -- wow, those were a lot of scars, it went to show just how much some of these people had seen. "Um... you're welcome." Perlita picked at the shoulders of her dress a little awkwardly, but to tell the truth it actually did feel kind of nice to get thanked for the frantic work she'd been putting in. "I'll be there if any of you need me again. Um, about 6D, though... I don't think I can do anything about that. I'm not a doctor or psychologist or anything, so... when something's there my magic doesn't fix, there's kind of not a lo

    Slowly, entirely panickedly, Stardust's hands raised, one pointing and one holding her magic tablet... and then... Stardust attacks Seeker-of-a-Dignified-Death! ...managed to miss entirely, her bolt of light passing an inch to Seeker's left and flying all the way into a far-away, entirely empty patch of grass. This was met with a triumphant "Aha!" from Seeker, who reeled up a hatchet in his hand and threw it hard at Stardust... only to watch it hit a blade of grass and be entirely fouled up, rolling up the top half of the blade of grass before falling down onto the gr
