Tulpamancing Roleplay: An exercise in visualization.

[cruse]

Just continue for now, turns out Vixen don't want to be worrying too much and just want to get her stuff at the market ASAP. So she didn't paid much attention around.

[G+3]

The party were departing and heading for the gate, G twirled the knife Aigis had given him in-between his two index fingers, ''A man who hates his practice, how peculiar...'' Pruria was talking with Cruse about a myriad of things, no doubt gathering up friendlily information. He averted his eyes from the peculiar weapon to look at the pony; something about her seemed off.

 

Thinking back to the night before, he even noticed it in her tone of voice, and that was saying something coming from the person who knew her longer than anyone else—perhaps even herself. He looked back to the knife, admiring the intricacies of it's sheath, how it's clicked slightly into place with a small nick in the blade, how the lightning bolt was not solid, but made up of any arcing intertwined lines—like a real lightning bolt—even solid, the appealing finish. It intrigued him, though he wasn't eager to use it; the past few days had been a rapid brake from his solid schedule, which shook his psyche a little more than he would have liked.

 

He looked to the boy, he seemed very much so relaxed, but in control. Even in the odd situation of which was Pruria he handled with amazing grace, unlike the original owner of the knife he twiddled in his fingers, hopefully unlike the knife. He became tranced by the two's conversation, picking up on very small details, unfortunetly without context. Chloe broke his trance with a little nudge to the shoulder to speed up, as his trance was causing him to slow down.

 

He put away the blade and caught up, asked casually, ''So what were you guys talking about?''

Joal answered with one hoof up to her head, ''These bloody head aches I've been getting, I told you about them last night!''

''Yes...'' The headaches, He thought, ''Would you not drink more water?''

''I'm about to explode from all the water I've been drinking, you want me to drink more?'' They laughed, ''And anyway, it's not like I don't get migraines every once in a while.''

 

The word reassured the man, but he couldn't help but scratch the terrible feeling... a terrible feeling, he corrected himself, not knowing quite what the feeling was.

 

The party reached the gates and the man and the pony stood back; neither knew what to do; hopefully Chloe or Cruse would know what to do.

[cruse]

Oh yeah, I forgot to say the ability of that knife.

 

Aigis's survival knife:

 

-Can be used to prepare food, cut small metal wire, rubber and wood, detect poison and stabbing anything.

-Water proof

-Reduce the rolled value during combat by -1.

-Battery contains 2 charges.

-Recharges itself under any light source for 1 charge per 5 turn.

-Each charge can be used to activate taser that stuns enemy for 1 turn if the attack succeeded. Stunned enemy can't take action.

-Can still stun enemy if the electricity reach the target, E.g. through the metal sword, puddle of water.

-Activating taser underwater stuns everyone in the area, including the user.

|Vixen|

 

The alchemist reached the lively market of Albion town. Despite the fact that the town was attacked last night, everyone acted as if nothing happened. That is the consequence of being attacked constantly throughout their lives in the town. The market sells not only your average everyday goods, but also various range of armaments to defends one's home and self. Vixen, however, was looking for the much rarer alchemical supplies. Being one of the few alchemist in the town, she knows many supplier of her needs and approach one of the store that convincingly appeared as a fruit seller. The fruit seller then greeted the alchemist as if she was his old friend.

 

"Ahhh... my good ol' Vixen, what do you need today?"

 

"I'm not old."

 

"A youth medicine perhaps?"

 

"I wish that existed."

 

"It's your job to make it exist yes?"

 

"I'll need 3 apples. Fresh please."

 

"Right away!"

 

The fruit seller then takes out a large ruck sack and put 3 apples into it. Vixen took the bag, paid the liangs, and left with the rucksack that seemed too large for 3 apples.

 

All the time she did her business, she felt a chill through her spine. Someone is watching her...

|Cruse|Chloe|

 

"It's best if we made sure the town knows that we left. Else the shadow warrior and light assassin may pays another visit."

 

Cruse said to the group. Unknown to him, his sister already went ahead to the guard and said;

 

"Hey! We're leaving now!"

 

The guards were startled by the sudden appearance of the bubbly girl. Nevertheless, they nodded their head and opens the gate. The boy witnessed the recklessness of his sister and chuckled admiringly. I wish I was that bold

 

"Shall we then?"

 

The pony and the man nodded their head and the group went through the gate. Once outside Cruse decided to let Joal and G determines their next course of action.

 

"I heard Chloe met you guys in the place of eternal goods. That ironically named wood lies at the south of this town. I suggest against going back there. But I'll leave the final decision to you two."

Uhh... wrath? Mind telling us what lies in the north east and west? I should hand back the GM role to you now, considering how I shouldn't have took it in the first place, sorry.

[Jax]

((I do believe that Wrath has, for the most part, left us to our own devices. So, we can either consolidate before major events and decide on the course of action, or just allow each of us to direct the story as we see fit. The first option is sure to cause less headaches, but the second makes for more dynamic and surprising storytelling.

 

So, Cruse, Miah and I aren't quite sure what move to make as of now, but expect a new post soon.))

[G+3]

((Myself and Joal had a bit of an idea, kind of going on our 'original route' that we were going on (back thirty-six freaking pages) to find a invisibility spell (which neither of us would have been able to cast but now that we have Cruse...) Or something to that effect. It could make for a dungeon we can crawl through and link in with the main-story—let's just call it that—in some way, not sure. Opinions?

 

I kind of had ideas to introduce Hieldy into the story too, but I thought it would be col to put her on Miah/Vixen/Aigis' end to split up the accounts and stuffs. Though I'm not sure how. Obviously I can't do it right now—and wont unless everyone's G with it—but I'm just saying for the future.

 

Tide: And you get your sorry ass back here Wrath.))

[Jax]

((I'm fine with the introduction of a new character G.

 

"Another person to babysit. Joy."

 

That's her trying to be funny.

 

Anyway, we're trying to wrap this Miah v. Vixen thing as fast as we can.))

 

Miah sighed as she wrapped the bit of twine around the leg of the chair. This was not the approach she had wanted to take. After following the Medicine Woman around town for a good deal of the day, Miah had determined there was no other way. The woman named Vixen was cautious, that was for sure. Her body language practically telegraphed her confidence in herself and her abilities. She was far too proud, and far too intelligent, to be caught alone in some back alley. Therefore, the Huntress had been forced to take an alternate approach.

 

The Ranger stood up and tested her trap. She tugged ever so slightly on the string that had been pulled before the parlor door. With the small bit of force, a rope unfurled and sent a sand bag hurtling past the frame. Satisfied, Miah reset the trap. Whoever tripped this was going to have a nasty headache.

 

In truth, it had not been that hard to break in. The back of the Medicine Woman's house had been well sheltered from prying eyes. After clambering up to the second story window it had been easy to work loose a window pane with her knife. After that, it was as simple as unlocking the window and letting herself in.

 

Miah had made sure to arrive at the house long before dark, giving herself plenty of time to prepare. She had laid traps all around the house and covered any light sources. She was not goings to give the woman the upper hand. When facing dangerous prey, it was best to fight less. A strong, quick, decisive first attack was what was needed. Don't let them know what hit them until they're lying on the floor.

 

Satisfied that everything was ready, Miah got into striking position, pulled her hood, and waited for Vixen's eventual return. She was ready.

[G+3]

(( {Well excuse me, I'm 95, I'll be damn baby sitting you.} You're also really old.

 

Oh, and I talked with Wrath today very biefly. I'm not sure what he meant but I think he said he's coo with us kinda taking over o our own. But he does want to real time RP at one stage, which he will post about soon enough maybe.))

[cruse]

So this sand bag... Would it knock vixen into or out of the house?

[Lacquer]

Roll a die

[cruse]

Well... It said past the frame of the door right? But which way?
