240 -50 from THE MAW Vulnerable No rest for the wicked, as they say. Especially when they serve the crown of Astorea. @Nyx and I arrived at the Ruined Palace a little late for the party, it seemed. As we pulled to a stop on our steeds, there were already bodies of magia and defenders...

I'm going to be honest here--buzzards make sense. But I was really expecting crows. Then again; one crow is considered a bad omen but two are considered good luck? And not a lot of people (except maybe Evanescence over here) would consider getting dragged to the world of the unliving good...

240 Rootin' Tootin' Robit Shootin' I raised my rifle and glared down the sights. "Your batteries will run dry eventually, your stupid robots!" Crack! The sound of thunder echoed across the field as I pulled the trigger once more. Oh, I'm mad as hell right now. It's fuckin' freezing out...

I'm on watch duty when the sky lights up like my laptop's screensaver. One by one, the lines arc up from the horizon and meet in the sky some distance away. Towards... ...Oh. Oh no. I don't immediately panic. Honestly? Because I don't know exactly what's been going on. I'm a Lion through...

I could waste your time remarking about what the shrine attendant said to me. Honor the goddess of passage? I do that already, with each bullet fired and each soul returned for passage to their final resting place. Even as she said it, I paid it no mind. I know my work, and who it serves...

What I wanted to say was "What Jin means is that caring about the troubles of others minimizes the importance of his own--which, according to the Way of the Edgelord, is the most harmful thing one can do that would cause them to stray from the path." But I had no desire to learn how much he had...

Special work, he said. To the Lion who super tuned her skill set and color-coordinated her awesome outfit with the express intention to be a hired gun to Levi and Astor and make short work of whatever problem they pointed their finger at. I'm going to be honest here; it made me a little...

Trips through the In-Between were usually never this awkward. Carol sat outside in the driver's box, guiding the ghostly steeds down the black sands towards the neon horizon of the afterlife. Usually, conversation was light. "How're ya' doin' today, Ms. Freebird? Any good stories from the...

Nothing's served as a more pointed reminder that I don't really fit in here than looking around and seeing everyone dressed in colorful kimonos while, here I stand, clad in the sharpest fucking suit I would afford. We're talking blacks the shade of cold, empty space and fancy flourishes sewn...

220 King Halo HP: 11/180 Zone: 8, Surpass the Light moves to 16 Protected Meanwhile, Madison was not one for dramatics. Especially when faced with a giant murder death kill weapon that was about to atomize these poor idiots who thought they could help Astorea's futile little cause. No...

220 King Halo HP: 21/180 Zone: 1, moving to 2 with free action (2 movement halved) Madison and King Halo split environmental damage (10 each) Vulnerable and Protected When what remained of Jin hit the ground next to her, Madison regarded him with nothing more than pity. Sure--the flashes...

220 King Halo HP: 40/180 Zone: 6 Vulnerable and Protected In a moment of clarity, Madison recalled her first day in Terrasphere, almost five years ago at this point. Newbin' around in a cave in the spawning area, getting hit in the leg by a slime. She marveled at the realistic sensation of...

220 King Halo HP: 120/180 Zone: 5 Vulnerable and Protected It wasn't the whole gotta steer this steed around, between, and over piles of wreckage and fallen stone thing that gave Madison trouble. Have you seen her reflex stats? Top tier. It was the little sentry bots that Emergency...

220 King Halo HP: 180/180 Zone: 7 Vulnerable and Protected Let the others wax poetic about their shiny new steeds; Madison understood her relationship with the black chrome beast underneath her as nothing more than business. The MIT needed someone to test their capabilities out; the...

220 Eight yees out of haw Try as she might, Madison couldn't see herself as a horse girl. Not, like, a horse girl in a fashion that she supposed most of the players who populated this world would define such a thing: Normal, sane people called those centaurs. Some who snacked on tasty...

She had no spurs that go jingle jangle jingle; and she certainly didn't ride merrily around to the gathering. As usual, a foul mood lingered around Madison like a storm cloud as she arrived. Her pistols brushing against her hips with each step she took, she caught Levi waving her over and...

And boy, was she curious. Lucia's work with the undead was always a sight to behold. Four years ago, curiosity begat wonder. Now, with her own creative tastes and needs changed by the advent of firearms, Madison's was firmly at the "respect" stage. "Absolutely," Maddy said, nodding. "I'd...

"Yeah." Her answer a quick. Cutting. Curt. "Don't fuckin' die." A little harsh? Maybe. But sometimes band-aids just need to get ripped all the way off while the wound is still oozing red stuff. "I don't know what you've heard about UI-lock, but... It's true. Every little bit of it...

"It helps if you don't have your build scattered all over the pace," Madison said, making quite obvious "well, obviously" looks at Yugam's rifle and sword combination. "Do one thing and do it extremely well. Then, you get to dump a billion points into all the fun stuff." Like her ability to...

(Madison takes Levi's hand and gives it a firm, professional shake) I'll be here, then. Got a few affairs to get in order, and then my guns will be yours. What kind of threats, if you don't mind me asking?
