| [There's a young lady flying through the air. That's right, flying. There are golden wings on her back, and below her, she carries a large bag. Whenever Stella sees someone, anyone, she drops down and gives them something from her bag. It's usually a baked good, though it could also be something useful, depending on if she knows them or not. But she has something for everyone, and she even drops down to give the NPCs something. She's also wearing a Santa hat and a long red coat with white trimming.
As she flies around, people may be able to hear her singing merrily.]
Hark! how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say,
"Throw cares away."
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold~ | |
|
| [Tear can be found pacing back and forth, her heels clicking almost rhythmically against the walkway as she tries to make heads or tails out of what occurred only days before. This is not her only concern, however. The melodist is quite aware that it's customary (at least for some) to present gifts to your friends on their birthdays. Unfortunately - and if her situation report letter was any indication - she has not had a great deal of practice, and thus her ideas are, well, unimaginative... and stale. No good.
Finally she sighs, bringing a palm to her forehead and brushing her bangs out of her eyes.]
This isn't going very well. Perhaps I should have consulted Anise and Natalia before returning to Yulia City.
[Only, she's no longer in Yulia City, and she's finally taken a moment to notice. Hyperresonance? Not likely. This could prove quite troublesome.]
((OOC: Yes, this is a post-game Tear. The game ended only about "48 hours ago".)) | |
|
| [poof! Rita returns to Zelore in the middle of casting a spell! She looks much the worse for wear, and realizing the danger is gone, she drops the spell and holds her head with one hand...blood running down her face and her arm]
Damn you...Alexei...
((Went home and is now fighting mister bigshot commandant himself. ...Until she got back here anyway)) | |
|
| [The peace and quiet on this cold winter day is suddenly shattered when Yandere!Colette's house erupts into chaos. From the inside, one window shatters. Then the next. Then a piercing screech fills the air, followed by the sound of breaking china.
Inside, an enraged Colette is dead set on destroying her home. Using a chair and her angelic strength, she breaks everything she sees, screaming unintelligibly. Approach her if you dare.] | |
|
| [ This older-than-usual Jade is just wandering like any good Abyss character does when he hears what sounds like an elaborate music box from far off. He wanders closer to the source of the sound, stepping into a clearing and appearing rather surprised when a jeweled wand materializes in front of him with a sweep of light. It's made of jade and topped with blue sapphires and a gold star. Out of curiosity, Jade reaches out for it and... well, curiosity transformed the cat.] [ He was immediately caught up in a flashy light-ribbon show that lasted only a split-second before he was left in something supposedly reminiscent of his Malkuth military uniform. On the very right. And we're ignoring all the other people in that picture because the mun doesn't have a picture of just Jade.] ... I have some reason to believe His Majesty is involved with this. ( OOC Stuff ) | |
|
| Been quiet around here lately. | |
|
| Hmm. I must have turned at the wrong place...maybe if I retrace my steps?
[ this Martel don't let the leafy ornaments fool you seriously finding icons without them is painstaking is walking out of the nearby woods and near the city of Zelore, placing a hand on her chest. ]
I guess Yuan will have to wait a bit longer..he looked so nervous. I wonder what he was going to ask me?
[ ooc: Howdy! This Martel is pre-death; as in, still traveling around with Kratos, Yuan, and Mithos. She was on her way to meet Yuan so he could pop the question. Let the fact that she doesn't have the leaf ornaments and no ring fuel your imagination, here. lulz. ] | |
|
| [Rita sits on the porch of a house, bundled tightly against the cold. She's so thin and pale she practically disappears inside the large coat and under the blanket, and her still-vacant stare doesn't help matters. At least she no longer appears deathly ill. ...She's only out here out of loneliness, really. She hasn't seen the Estelle she knows since....well. It wasn't good.] | |
|
| [It's a little early, but Lloyd's in the city and he knows that he won't have another chance to be there for the next few weeks. The day of celebration is more than a week away, but he's already prepared gifts for it. He stops by the places where they live, leaves the gift on their doorstep, knocks and runs. He could stay, he could laugh and enjoy the holiday that's yet to come... but it'd only be painful. Still, people would be able to catch his shadow running, or his cloak swaying in the wind, or hear hurried footsteps or even catch a glimpse of his darker clothing. Here are the gifts he left:
--
( cruxified )
( ofsummons )
( twicethepapa )
( stillaklutz )
( blame_your_fate )
( femmecystus )
[[ooc: Hopefully I didn't forget anyone, but if I did, he can stop by and give gifts to them too.]] | |
|
| Hmm?
[Leon is just relaxing against a tree. He has a book in hand, teaching him about advanced physics. He figures he can relate this to the spells he uses, and maybe make him stronger. Bothering him is a good idea.]
Interesting...
[ooc: New Leon mun/muse here, enjoy messing with me/him~] | |
|
| [Somewhere outside the town, there lies a lake. And near that lake is one Sheena. For whatever reason, she seems to be chucking stones of various sizes into the water and muttering something under her breath.]
- third time I've been yanked somewhere, would the freakin' powers that be just decide on what world to send me to already, is that really too much to ask?!
[Apparently she's a little frustrated over something. Will you be the one to bother and snap her out of it?]
[[ooc: Hello ToDR, I decided to introduce my AU!Sheena to this community. Her rough (very rough) backstory is on her homepage. Please note, I'm still trying to decide on where I want her personality to go, so bear with me. Looking forward to RPing with you~!]] | |
|
| [The biting cold was doing wonders for the young woman currently leaning on a random tree for support. It was freezing, and her clothes weren't helping any, but it was a good distraction from the blinding pain at her side, making itself known in the pool of red red red that was rapidly blossoming in her clothes. She hissed, biting her lip. Red never went well with her clothes.]
[But the snow was doing a good job of numbing the pain, if only a little. Now, if it weren't such a stark contrast to all that blood, it wouldn't be too hard to pretend it wasn't there...]
[She tries to stand on her own, managing only half a step before she falls to her knees with a sharp cry.]
... Lorelei, those bastards are going to pay for this...!
[ooc;; And so the first female Fon Master makes her appearance at ToDR! Play nice, she just fell victim to an assassination attempt. Well, it's not an attempt, per se, since it seems to have actually worked.] | |
|
| [[Well we haven't heard from daddy!Raven in a while. What's he up to?]]
[He's on the outskirts of town, picking flowers. Unfortunately the pickings are slim because, you know, it's cold and all. In fact it's pretty amazing this old man's even out and about.]
[[Are the flowers for his darling daughter Anise? Or someone else? Only way to know is to ask him~]]
Damnit, there's gotta be more than just these tiny ones... | |
|
| [Lying on his back, just outside the village, is one of the resident Kratoses. Blood is seeping from fresh cuts all over his body and bruises will likely form in the next few hours. A puddle of crimson betrays the presence of a nasty wound on his back. His sword is lying nearby, also covered in blood. Is he conscious? Barely.]
Cho... Ngh.
[His face contorts into a grimace of pain. This poor Mercenary Kratos was sent home for a while and took a heavy beating, trying to protect Lloyd and everyone else from Yggdrasill. As for Colette, there's a good chance they lost her to Cruxis.
Defeat is bitter, indeed.] | |
|
| [enter a very serious looking Schwann, appearing in the middle of town mid stride] ...Strange. [he looks around, but his expression does not seem to show any measure of surprise in it.] [[This Schwann is from the same AU as ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) notjustahealer and idealmagic . His journal has more detailed info. Anyone is free to poke him.]] | |
|
| [Well, here's Vampire!Colette back from some random adventure in the mountains I decided to have her go on while I was busy with College apps! So she kind of vanished for a while there and has no idea what's gone on.]
That was nice! Refreshing! Who knew mountains could be so beautiful on the very top?
[She trudges through some snow in a woodland area, showing no signs of being cold, despite the freezing temperature and her wearing nothing but her usual light outfit.]
How long was I gone, though? I hope it wasn't more then a day! I lost track of time...
[Way more than a day sob]
[she trips, hits her head on a tree, and goes face first down into the snow.]
[help her? kick her? molest her? haunt her? talk to her? Your call! 8D] | |
|
| [Presea's somewhere in Zelore again, but this time? It looks like she's carving something. As she's carving, though, there might be some humming too~ Even if she's stuck in Zelore, Presea's not gonna let that stop her from the occasional Christmas hymn or two.
Come and bother her? Or at the very least, come and sing along with her! Presea likes being interrupted... probably.] | |
|
| [a Rita appears near the center of town, barely sitting up against a building. She is scruffy and dirty and disheveled, her glazed eyes focused on the middle distance. Only when a breeze picks up does she life her head somewhat, but she still doesn't seem to recognize that she is outside]
((This Rita goes with notjustahealer because I was intrigued, so her knowledge of game-events is pretty restricted)) | |
|
| Flyyyynn! Quit hiding and come out so I can copy your homework!
[The voice should be more familiar, but when you see the speaker something is definitely off. For one thing, Yuri is wearing a uniform.
Albeit a messy, wrinkled, shirt buttons undone almost all the way uniform. But it's still a uniform.
A private school's uniform.
His tied back hair is also a horrible indication of something gone amiss. He rounds the corner, hand cupped around his mouth to echo his yell as he suddenly stops because, hell, where did the school go?]
... okaaay...?
((OOC: High School senior Yuri Lowell is new to the world of Zelore. He hails from St. Vesperia, a private academy where, as you can imagine, everyone from the game attends/works at. Credit of the idea goes to the artists who drew the fanart.)) | |
|
| [Sup Zelore. Tis the season for muse voice training, apparently, so here's a rather forlorn-looking Emil with a small pair of raggedy green wings just sort of wandering through town. He doesn't even seem to have any particular destination in mind or even care where he's going; as he's looking down at the ground, he might bump into you while he's walking.] | |
|
| [Welp. Forsythes is taking a walk around outside. And by walk, I mean she's sitting under a tree, oblivious to the cold, with her hands folded under her head and her eyes closed. Man, she really needed a break from Inga... Babies are loud, obnoxious, and cute when they're not being overly frustrating.
Alright. Scratch the obliviousness to cold.
Care to come and give the deadly racist half-elf tired woman a companion for the hour?] | |
|
| [So everyone's favorite shut-in hikkikomori NEET temporarily mentally unstable Lloyd is doing fairly better, spending less time talking to himself and more time being creative. In fact, he's made kind of a mess of his dwelling, so be careful of stepping on paper and pencils and oil-based crayons and whatnot if you come to visit.
He sits on a sofa, his sketchbook in his lap, drawing a view he tries hard to remember from back home in Iselia. Suddenly, something catches his attention outside the window. He sets his work down and goes over to the window, opening it and sending a cold draft throughout the room.]
...Snowflakes...? [Sure enough, there's a little bit of snow covering the ground near his house, with more on the way. He wonders if anyone else has noticed yet.] | |
|
| [Estelle loves reading almost as much as breathing. Probably more, because breathing, while essential, isn't something you tend to love unless you have suffocated once or twice already. It's just there. But reading is something she really enjoys, and the sport she is 'best' at is the one she's doing right now : Reading and Walking at the Same Time.
Good luck. She's bound to run right into you. Books take up her total attention once she starts them] | |
|
| [It's been a while, but seeing as his mun desperately needs to train his voice again, Luceti!Yuan is back! He's gotten surprisingly used to this sort of thing by now, spending his time by sitting on a park bench and generally moping around. There's a small grocery bag by his side, filled with an assortment of fruits. As for Yuan himself, he's taking a bite out of a nice apple.
If you ask nicely and not get on his nerves, maybe he'll share. If you don't want fruit, by all means, hassle him 'till you drop.] | |
|
| [A spray of red litters the cobblestone path, the source coming from a civilian staring in horror at the teenager in front of him. The one known as the savior of his world, the one who meets his gaze with wide eyes and a twisted smile. The sword jutting from his chest twists, then is yanked out. The force of it causes the man to fall forward onto the younger one, who doesn't make a move to catch him. Blood smears and mixes with his red outfit as the victim slides to the ground, dead before he hits it.
It's only then that the madness in Lloyd's eyes vanishes, replaced by a look of revulsion and grief. The swords, one stained with blood, shakes, then clatters to the ground, and Lloyd falls with them into a sitting position. He wants to look away, but he can't take his eyes off of the lifeless body.]
Ah...
[He shakes his head slowly to himself, as if denying that this is real, before he twists his hands into his hair and lets out a horrified scream.]
AAAAAH!! | |
|
| [Because the mun can't stay away Somebody new's standing at the edge of the town, surveying the whole place with distinct distaste.]
...This is not the Lezareno headquarters. Where am I? Who has brought me here? Show yourself! | |
|
| [An Estelle is wandering around a forest outside of the town, looking confused, but at the same time she has this air about her that she knows what she's doing. ...Until she stops and sighs hopelessly.] H-have I failed again...? I wonder how badly I'm going to get it this time...[[OOC: See Sidos' info post for general details about her AU~]] | |
|
| [A young girl appears in Zelore's square, riding on top of a wolfish like creature. She glances around slowly, urging the beast forward, and lets out a giggle.]
Now, this certainly doesn't look like Palmacosta~ and I don't see MartMart around... hmph.
[She places her hands on her hips, one hand clutching her weapon, and tapping it against her thigh impatiently.]
((Feel free to offer Alice some explanations. She's quite confused. Just tread carefully with what you say. ;D)) | |
|
| [Sup Zelore? It's been way too long! Poke-Shirl here's just watching her Starmie and Vaporeon perform gymnastics in the water. Admittedly, she should probably be joining them, but the water's too cold for her to do anything about it.]
Come on, you guys! One more routine and we'll be done~ And I'll even throw in biscuits to make up for it~
[... Pushing her into the water might be a good idea right about now.] | |
|
| [suddenly Regal finds himself in the middle of Zelore, a small cat on his shoulder.
he blinks.]
This... isn't Altamira.
[the cat mews, and Regal gives it a scratch]
It's alright, Alicia.
[[This Regal is mostly canon, minus the fact that he has a pet cat, Alicia.]] | |
|
| [Anyone who happens to be entering or exiting the library may notice young Lieutenant Schwann standing near the entryway, his gaze fixed on the door.
He seems to be waiting for someone.]
...Captain Alexei...
[He seems unlike his usual derpy self... anyone is free to prod him if they so wish] | |
|
| [Oh what the- HE WAS NOT HERE A MOMENT AGO. And where is Lloyd? Colette? Kratos?]
...Whiiiiiine. Whimper.
[Would someone like to help the poor, shivering beast? He won't bite~] | |
|
| [Here, have a very confused Anise wandering about, wondering just where the hell she is. This did not look like Daath. Heck, she'd explored most of the known world and she still didn't recognize anything.]
Hmm... I bet the Colonel had something to do with this. [grr] | |
|
| [Today, we have the younger Alexei patrolling the town streets of Zelores. He seems to brooding on things as he constantly had his gaze at the ground. Perhaps he's using this walk as an excuse to keep his mind off of the troubling things he had been told. He's starting to wander dangerously close to the outskirts of town though. Should someone stop him before he tries something reckless?] | |
|
| [So, what exactly has Duke been doing since we last saw him? Well, after helping Estelle some time ago, he's been... mostly wandering around the area. Today is no different - once again, one might spot him walking through the town. This time, however, he seems to be on the lookout for someone, and if one were to play close attention, they'd notice that he actually seems a little worried for once. Huh. That's... probably a first for him.
Why not try talking to him? Considering he doesn't seem to be carrying that Fell Arm with him anymore, he'll likely be a bit more open to conversations than last time. Perhaps he'll even explain what he's so concerned about, who knows~] | |
