"Wasn't something I'd heard of," Theo shrugged. "Phobias, strange addictions, psychological stuff- I'd heard tell about things like that, but "soothsaying" doesn't fit the bill based on my research." Theo turned to look at the man with vague interest. The secrets of Terrasphere were the one...

He was uncertain of what had transpired, and knew no details of what he witnessed. She abused the rock in the same way she had treated him earlier, but with much more violent emotion. The tears flowed, and he watched; but Jin was not a voice of comfort. The only rock that might offer her support...

"....You... are you going? No introductions or..." She had said something, certainly, but Jin had not understood it. He turned back to glance in her direction, intent and listening in case she repeated herself. He was rewarded with more words, though if they were the same or different he might...

"I haven't lost anyone stupid. I am just testing something. I'm honestly curious how this big magic block works. You should try not to be so assumptions about what others are doing." He smiled faintly at that. Her words were harsh, perhaps unnecessarily so, but they did not seem to upset the...

Does anyone want to know the truth, really? He recalled the last time that he was called before this strange monument by another Traveler to ascertain the fate of one of the lost; but Jin had left before the revelation could be put to question. In the other world, when someone died, people...

It vaguely interested Theo that while Ari disliked- or appeared to dislike Fiora, he was willing to part with information about his accident. He glanced back over his shoulder toward the man warily, like he was watching impassively as the only actual person he knew in Japan tilt their hand...

165 Zone: 5 / D He felt the pangs of hunger like a serpent depositing venom directly into his stomach. It spread quickly from there, sending waves of fatigue through his body that warned him: he needed to eat. He needed to slake his thirst. His status had deteriorated all at once with the...

Both of the others met back up with him only after the scolding, too late to have heard the details for themselves. Theo had to sigh audibly at the irony in the elderly gentleman's timing. Then again, it seemed that he had not approached specifically because the other two were out of earshot...

165 Zone: 4 / D Weakened The situation was not playing out in their favor. Confusion had robbed one of his allies (@Athena ) of health by his own hand, a point which was more annoying than regrettable. She made it his business with an outcry, but quickly shifted her attention to the add and...

He collected the last of those things he needed for his own dish and promptly began rummaging through other items for the things that Ari had mentioned. It simply would not do for him to completely disregard the others' wishes. They would have something to say about him, and he was far past the...

He glanced at Ari when the man stepped in without any need for Theo to prompt him. However, Theo knew not to give the many any credit for picking up the cues. The other man was kinder by far than his counterpart, and he wasn't just going to stand by and let Theo talk Nico into a rage. In...

"Oh, my apologies," Theo turned and matched the Italian woman's gaze with a deadpan that almost seemed to drink in the enmity of her gaze and swallow it whole. It wasn't just disinteterest- his default setting was complete apathy. "Did I offend you? I can't imagine how that must feel. Why don't...

Theo decided to wait for the others to get their ideas out before he spoke. When Nico harassed him about his less than stellar physical fitness, he did what he did best. "Carbonara is a heavy dish for a hot summer night," he recalled. "We could definitely do it, but we'd be full and bloated...

165 Zone: D / 5 The strange, foul mist that clouded his thoughts and numbed his vision dissipated only after he had leveraged his strike against the enemy. For some reason, he felt the strangest sensation, as though his cursed blood had stricken a target not intended... but he that couldn't...

The others seemed to entirely dismiss his worry and Theo felt the cold sweat on his back. If someone had thrown their foot between a door in Philly, there would have been sirens blaring and probably some gunshots popping. Especially in the neighborhood where he grew up. The youth was prepared to...

135 Zone: C / 5 Confusion The haze that surrounded him and clouded his vision dulled Jin's senses, but the faintest traces of her outline remained. The others were far enough away that there couldn't possibly be another target... right? Operating under that assumption, Jin twisted his body and...

He watched with baited breath as He Who Was Brutus Yet Not knocked. They waited. Finally, a muffled response came in the language he still did not understand. He stared at the door, then turned to look at Olivier, then back at the door. This happened several times before he finally tilted his...

165 Zone: C / 5 Taunting Trinity(?)A The group entered the room and just as quickly, the enemies appeared on the horizon. The fastest of them, Zelrius, hurried forward to begin his assault on one of the adds. With that decision made, his own fate was decided. His katana surged free of its...

"I've no doubt," he said when she insisted that she could give him a fight. And to her credit, the notion was entertaining. If he felt the itch when that time came, he might even acquiesce. "But one should never discount the efficacy of words as weapons." There was a moment of shared silence...

"Nature magic?" he repeated thoughtfully. That would be useful on a wide open plain surrounded by mountains, certainly. "Well, it shouldn't be a problem for us to grind out the last of that rank for you on the way," he said. It wouldn't take them off track, and certainly, as long as he didn't...
