145 Presently Unaffiliated There was an attack, but he was saw it coming. What he didn’t see coming, however, was the remarkable job that the others were doing. Emerging from the frontmost wagon, Cain let out a laugh at the state of the crimson Myconids, their forms torn asunder by the...

“No, she doesn’t.” A deathly certainty cut through the dramatic pretensions of all three players, Cain’s voice thick with a grudge that seemed almost personal. But in the next moment, he splayed his hand and rotated his wrist, bending it eastwards flamboyantly, as if a dancer paying reverence...

“Efficiently, because we’ve immortals to send to their graves now?” Cain scoffed, but it wasn’t as if anyone was at fault for it. Even with knowledge of the UI lock, there were those, like the man who stood before him, who found existence in a virtual world vastly preferable to one in the real...

I refuse to let this thread remain at the bottom.

Ah, there it was, the sparkle that any adventurer, if they were truly suited for adventuring, possessed. A curiosity that would immolate the self. A greed that would drive one beyond the boundaries of life and death. So even a Magia so disaffected could be drawn to the allure of secrets and...

Japanese and French, hm? Though Cain was somewhat disappointed that the absolutely glorious idea of having an impractical fantasy recipe be made in an impractical fantasy world was summarily rejected, perhaps that was just owing to the nature of having two individuals with real-life cooking...

145 Presently Unaffiliated Isulus. He had heard of that place before, though Yladia was rarely where he ventured back before the Stars were called away. Infested with all sorts of fungal life. Some were more sentient than others, predators that blended in as vegetation naturally did. Others...

Well, Cain likely didn’t need to turn to look around after all, when he could hear someone else coming from a mile away. Bodacious and loud-mouthed, as if someone had caps-locked their voice, a wild-haired woman with the ferocity of a lioness emerged, her very presence promising a storm of...

Bakery Martini, was it? A name like that gave certain impressions, but the menu selection seemed mundane enough, at least for a daytime menu. Cain’s eyes glanced over to the back of the counter where the barista worked, to where rows of baked breads were stacked and displayed for patrons who...

Star Heights. A natural barricade that pierced the clouds themselves. Of all that the Tertus Valley offered, this was perhaps what offered the greatest promise as to what laid beyond the Edge of Tomorrow, beyond the Calamity Deep. On clear nights, the stars were rumored to be so near and clear...

There was something about Advent Lost. Something about putting up a memorial to encompass all the tragedies that befell Astorea. Something about that towering, obsidian plaque, inscribed with names that only became more and more indistinct as it grew taller and taller. Something about how...

“Bit early in the morning to be working on your pick-up game, chief,” Danielle shot back, firing off a wink after she actually thought through what she had just said. “Morning to you too, Sabine. Ate yet?” She popped her earbuds out, slotting them back into the case. For someone who spent hours...

“Cain Darlite,” he said, leaning back against his own seat. “Some may consider me a veteran to these lands, and others may recall the storied titles I’ve once held, but whatever stories once passed has now eroded into naught but fragments of sentences, singular phrases of song.” Perhaps the...

Oh, apple rabbits! Just like those Chinese cartoons he’s watched as a kid! While Okami hit him with a sudden sense of childhood nostalgia for that show about a policeman cat shooting the ear off a thief rat with a bullet that curved 180 degrees, Sylpha was the one over there asking the real...

Nightlife crowded out conversation, but that was for the better. It was easier for Cain not to think when he could immerse instead, drawing in snippets of conversations he’d never hear the start or end of, gazing over at the multitude of stalls that he’ll never stick around to learn of...

Apologies for the wait, @Sylpha Astarte and @Hanasakura Okami . It has taken some effort to secure a speedy carriage headed in the direction I wish to, but it would please me indeed for you two to join me in traveling to the Saine Fells for our culinary innovations.

While one may presume that an Applesun Village specialty would feature Applesun Apples and be made in Applesun Village, with neither the specific apple nor the specific village in question, one had to reconsider such plots. Apples sweeter than honey could perhaps be temporarily substituted by...

170 Protector Well, what could he say? His job here, as it was, looked to functionally be done. After the initial mishap of Moonsong's encounter with the Shadow Cloud, the rest of the newcomers, now cognizant of the dangers of the dungeon, advanced with proper recon, and even the emergence of...

This…was certainly an excitable fellow! Though her hat was oversized for her head, the design was similar enough that Cain could certainly understand why the astute staff of The Top of the Afternoon would believe her to be a companion of his, especially when he so naturally flaunted his wealth...

A player, but it was easy enough to tell that just with a quick Investigation. Cain's eyes glimmered slightly as the Magia revealed her own host of specializations, mechanical servants with a spark of life that reminded him of Surrechis's own puppetry. Curious critters, though for a being...
