Anthea: Storm: Level 0: Frost Level 1: Gust, and Crystallise Dark incantations: Destruction Level 1: Whirling Winds, Destruction Level 2: Tornato Any Level 1: Idol of Dark Clouds (I really hope I did that right and have the right amount of spells for this stuff. I don't know. Why must our time zones be so different?)
"Hi, my name is Silvia." Silvia introduced in a shy, unsure voice. They had been in the guild for quite a while, the fact that they didn't meet before this seemed slightly embarrassing. Silvia bit her lower lip played with her sleeve. She could still feel the new sky dragon magic coursing through her veins, and what was left of the magic tingling under her skin. Well this was an interesting experience and a weird way to introduce herself. She hated meeting new people by messing up, but that is what it seemed that she was best at. However she did get a chance to flex a different magic that felt a lot better to her, a lot more natural. She looked forward to using this new power in the near future. Then perhaps, she could be as strong as Caliborn. Thea got to the other end of the area to find that there was another destroyed bridge. She looked back in the cave wondering what was there that was worth destroying any way in. Thea then turned back to see another piece of land on the other side of the cave across the water. "I thought we were going to an island. Why is there land over there?" Thea pointed out, out of curiosity. It didn't occur to the child that it was possible that it was just a channel in the island. When Thea thought an island she didn't think you should be able to see any land past the water, but she could. She then looked at the destroyed bridge on the other side and remembered how tired Vance was. "How do we plan to get down? Father seems too tired to carry me back down." She then commented giving Vance very little credit for his strength. It was true that he got tired after carrying her up, so she was scared he might drop her heading down. However it wasn't much more appealing to her to be stuck up in that dirty cave either.
Well Aster sat and waited the battle out, not wanting to get too sweaty, he imagined the time he would spend with Carissa later. It would be bitter sweet if she won, but if he won.... Everything would be good, so good, and so sweet. He let his imagination wander, however there was always those pesky people who wanted to fight. However the two people running towards him didn't get too far. Aster yawned and flicked his wrist. A fire ball came from Aster's hand and smashed into the two, killing them on the spot. He then calmed back down and continued his day dream. Bet Kill Count Carissa: 25 (I don't think she went up, but I don't know. Damn it Al for not making that clear. It is all your fault, shut up don't question it. I am going to blame you even if it really isn't your fault at all.) Aster: 20 Rose quickly caught up to where Jayce and the others were. It seemed that they were head to head with some of the shards, one of which was known for killing demi-gods. It should prove to be an interesting fight, Rose had to keep on her toes, but for now she had to keep to the shadows. She was there for backup when needed, and even if she wasn't, despite Throda's belief, surprise was her best friend. If she kept the element of surprise on her side then she might just be able to finish the The Huntress quickly and easily. A small smile spread across Rose's face, under her mask. The idea of taking out Carissa was quite a pleasant one. Now if she could only find her idiot of a brother as well, then she could paint the tower in both of their blood. For now from the shadows Rose watched as Jayce shadowed people. She watched and waited. Patience was a virtue, and one well practiced for Rose. Either an order was given or the opportunity presented itself, then she would step into battle, but until that point she would stay concealed in the shadows and with her ability. As long as Jayce didn't die in this, that was all she cared about. If he was alive then she would be happy. In the end it would be her to take him down, but not till she rose to the top of everything and then made Jayce's death look like the shards, bringing herself to the top position in the Order of the Hammer, unmatched. However until that happened she would be his loyal attack dog and whatever else he wanted her to be.
Tatiana considered her option to do with the law of surprise. She didn't want to go back home. She didn't want to look at the blood that would be left covering both her and her brothers bedroom. She was scared what memories that it might come up from being there. "I-I don't know if I can go home.... I can try, but... I don't want to face what is inside." She admitted. But she had little other chance. In the end she had no payment to offer, she had to do what she could. "I will try. I have nothing else to offer." She admitted. There really was not much option for Annabelle cleaning up. If she had something to clean up with she would do so. But instead Annabelle simply sat there silently and tried to brush her hair out with her fingers, but it wasn't helping too much. She didn't know what to think of the company that they might be getting. Annabelle didn't know if she should be afraid or not. Most of her was afraid of anything that could happen. There was no way that whatever Yana had planned wasn't bad, because it was Yana after all. There was no words to say to the woman so instead she sat there silently waiting. "Don't you understand?! I don't belong here!" Seth snapped back at Zack. However it was true he promised Bryce he would watch Tessa, however now he didn't want to. Bryce was going to try to kill the people who did that, Seth knew how stupid of an idea that would be. He was not going to let Bryce do it, he had to stop him. On top of that Tessa ran off while Zack and him were arguing. "I will make you a deal. I will help you track down Tessa, and then you keep an eye on her. I am going to go after Bryce. Him going off on his own is far from a good idea, and you know it as well as I. Is it a deal?" Seth asked in a slightly annoyed tone as he started to walk back towards the crowd to find where Tessa would be. "Any clue where she might have gone?" He asked Zack. Aaron turned to the direction of the man speaking to them. Well at least they weren't being attacked already. Aaron left his swords sheathed for now until they found out what was going on. It could just be that the man spotted them and was curious what they were doing there, if that was the case then there was nothing to worry about. However Aaron figured it was best not to add to the conversation at this time. Instead he stepped to the side and leaned against the wall of the bridge as he watched the man and Veera. For now the threat level was low and there was no point talking, but he was prepared for that to change at any moment. He kept alert, he wasn't prepared to let anything go wrong.
Well Aster was getting tired and it seemed like most people weren't doing a damn thing. So Aster decided (because his rper got a crap roll) to do almost nothing. He had worked hard so far, but what guy as hot as him wanted to get too sweaty. After all it would mess up his hair, and on top of that he needed to be in the best of shape for when he banged Carissa later, because he was going to make that happen. He didn't care of he won or lost the bet, being who he was, he was sure he could manage to get into that woman's pants. After all he was the greatest thing the gods had ever created, but not the demi-gods they were all *ssholes. Not wanting to completely give up everything towards the bet, on his way over to a nice shaded tree, Aster stopped to stab someone, so one more person was added to his kill count. He knew that he should be getting more, but he didn't care quite enough for that. There was a lot more important things than a bet, like not getting too sweaty and keeping his hair nice. "Got it, you will find me in the shadows soon." Rose replied. When she met up with the group she would make sure she was not visible. Rose was ordered to support if needed, that being said it was best to keep the element of surprise on her side. Rose didn't bother with the chameleon ability while she was still in the armoury, it was empty enough at that time. From the other side of the door she heard the clashing of battle. Rose was filled with thrill as her eyes were covered in red. Walking out of the door, instead of going into hiding Rose looked around at everyone still fighting. It was time that they all died. She didn't care who was who now. She simply walked into everyone and pulled her duel blade. She began to twirl, hack and slashing. Everything in her way was falling. They had already done a good job wearing each other down, now it was just cleanup. One by one they dropped. Rose didn't come out unscathed but to her, the pain felt good. In the end everyone had dropped to her feet and she continued on, with minimal of her own blood dripping from her. With that done she activated her chameleon ability and started heading towards Jayce. Bet Kill Count Carissa: 25 Aster: 18
Silvia looked up at the girl standing over her. She was slightly embarrassed about her fall and didn't really want to face it. "I-I'm fine. Just a little fall." Silvia said as she tried to push herself off the ground, though as she did she felt a sharp pain in the back. "Agh!" She let out a slight cry of distress. Silvia lifted her hand and slowly worked on casting a spell on herself. Dragons healing spell to be exact. She flexed her new magic and it felt really good to cast. On top of that her back started to feel better. Silvia then looked away from Alisa as she sat up. She didn't want to talk about her accident. Thea wanted to explore the cave, so without a word, that is what she did. She ran in ahead to try to look around, but soon found it too dark. Needing a solution to that problem, Thea lit a small flame in her hand and began to walk around looking though the cave. She didn't even think about the fact she was properly controlling her fire at first as she continued to explore. Thea walked as far back as she possibly could in the cave. She wanted to see what was back there.
Alexis didn't say much when she joined Remy again. She didn't want to really talk about what happened. She didn't sit since she had a feeling that they would need to get going again, and she was right. It wasn't long before Remy suggested they go and offered his hand, Alexis took his hand, it was a warm comfort to her cold, shaky hands. Alexis took a deep breath like suggested and tried to calm herself. She would use all this fear and anger and sadness to push her through the next fight, that was what she decided. However despite that decision hit was still hard to seem okay emotionally. Alexis looked at Remy. "Okay I am ready lets do this." She told him as she walked beside him towards where everyone was going. As much as she didn't want to move onto the next room to fight, she knew she had to. She was not going to sit back and watch others fight and she was not going to give up here, not when there was someone that was treated her like an actually human. So she walked forward, holding Remy's hand to the next floor. Samuel didn't say much as the person in front of them seemed to be trying to motivate people. He listened but not closely. It didn't matter. He just wanted to see what they were up against and see what they could do about it. Samuel wasn't much of a fighter but he could plan out the best plan of attack, so that would be helpful... he hoped.
Annabelle turned back to to the person who was trying to make a deal with Yana, unfortunately but not surprising Yana didn't accept. Instead she was ordered to go through the portal while Yana dealt with the person. Annabelle went through the portal like asked. She didn't move far from the location on the other side of the portal, she was too scared to go anywhere. If she left she would surly be killed this time and she didn't want that. So instead Annabelle curled up on the ground and waited, nervous for Yana to follow. "Well it is dark but I guess that helps to keep out of sight of the humans." Seth stated as he followed through the dark sewers. It didn't bother him too much but it was true, a little sun down here would be nice, however he wouldn't worry about that. There was plenty of other things more important than the sun getting down there. Seth stuck his hands in his pockets and wondered until they reached the door. A look of concern crossed Seth's face when Tessa mentioned something was wrong. They stepped through the door onto an empty street. Looking down it he saw a crowd of people. Before Seth could say or do anything, Tessa had taken off to see what it was all about. "Hey! Wait!" Seth tried to call out to her, but she was already a fair amount ahead of him. This was not good and if something dangerous lay ahead then he would have failed Bryce. Seth took off after her, a moment after calling out. Before Seth could see what happened he heard Zack asking where the other guy was, presumably him. "I am right here, what is the-" Seth was cut short by the sight in front of him. His expression turned grim as he wondered if this was his fault. Bryce warned him of the danger he was putting others in but he waved it off. Now could this be the product of it? He didn't know, but it was unsettling. "I should leave. There is nothing for me to do here." Seth said quickly turning from the sight. It was stupid for him to get involved with other people. It was stupid of him to try to meet other dopplers. In the end everything was going to be torn away from him anyways. He knew that. That is how he always viewed his life, as a waste. He had no purpose to be around so what was the point of playing it safe, may as well do something dangerous and tempt fate. It was the only thing he found exciting anymore. Seth found himself in a sprint, heading towards the door that they entered the sanctuary through. Aaron followed Veera, taking her words to heart as a sense of comfort in this situation. He remained close until they got to the river, then he backed off to let herself start bathing first before he followed when she told him to hurry up. Aaron decided it would be best for him to leave his swords on shore and polish them properly after he washed himself, just as a caution to not do anything to dull them accidentally. With the swords off his back, and placed neatly on the ground where he could see them but decently hidden from the road above, Aaron entered the water. Unlike Veera he had nothing to take off before scrubbing himself. He wasn't wearing a shirt, he had taken it off when he was doing the course under Vec's command, and didn't bother putting it back on after. So without a shirt, he was simply wearing pants, and there was no way he was going to take those off in front of Veera. It wasn't that he had anything to be ashamed of, or he didn't want to suggest something, it was just that it didn't seem appropriated. The water was cold against Aaron's skin, but he didn't pay it mind. Instead he dove under and started to scrub at his skin while still under water. When he came up for a breath his arms were now clean and the blood was mostly washed out of his hair, though the tips of it still dripped red water. He dove back under again and continued to scrub at his chest and rest of his body to get everything from his skin. He hated the feeling with being covered in the blood of innocent, and that is what he felt like now. He had to scrub until his skin was completely clean, then perhaps he could breath again. This didn't take too terribly long. Soon enough he had come up for the last time and looked over at Veera. "I am ready to go as soon as you are." He told her as he walked out of the water to the shore. There he picked up his swords and dipped them into the water, the blood easily coming away. When they were clean he dried them on a patch of grass and strapped them to his back once more. The weight of the swords seemed heavier than normal, or perhaps that was just because of the weight of the choice he made.
It didn't take too long before both Kala and the group that her father was leading, however her father was no with them. Flame was slightly worried about the fact that he wasn't there, but there was not much she could do about it. Flame turned to everyone in front of her ready to explain what happened, but first she had to worry about Veera. "Kala no, do not put her out of her suffering. If I thought there was no other way I would have done that myself." Flame told Kala, her voice hard and demanding as she then looked at Karen. "Karen, you need to get inside that building. No one will harm you, I promise. Go save Veera. If there is anytime for you to use your powers it is now. Help her, and don't leave her side. Understand?" Flame gave the orders. Once the orders were given she turned to the others. "Listen all of you. To free Veera and Drake I had to make a deal. I am sure you guys all saw that the outer wall has been broken. The outer city is overrun by titans. We are to drive out the titans and take back the city for the humans. We are trained for this, we should be able to do this, but it will be dangerous. We all must be on our guard." Flame explained. "My father was with you yes? Someone fetch him, he will be more capable of leading the charge. Everyone prepare yourselves because this battle starts soon. "I heard rainbows are pretty, but I haven't actually seen one myself that I remember." Adelina explained as she took Zacks hand as he helped her over a splinted board. "I hope that they get back tonight. I would be worried if they didn't." Adelina said. She then whistled and a small bird landed on her shoulder. "Could you do me a favour and check on the king. Thank you." She said and the bird flew off. "There we should know how things are going soon enough. But lets not worry about that. We should just enjoy our night." Adelina suggested.
I vote south. Have the storm Mage face the storm
Rose caught yelling from below, Throda no doubt. This was soon followed by a rush of shard troops past her. This was perfect. If the others got in and were keeping the shard soldiers busy, it should make the already pretty clear path, even easier to go through. The young woman kept to the shadows as she walked. She occasionally had to press herself into a wall to avoid a few people coming her way, and hold back a smile when she heard the angry yells when they discovered a fallen of their own. Rose had nearly reached the well guarded entrance to the armoury when she heard steps in her direction from behind her. Rose pressed herself tight into a door frame and into shadows, keeping herself hidden from view. She was slightly relieved to find it was some of the Hammer troops that were there. Kalak wasn't with them, not a good sign, but it was still the distraction that she needed. Rose made sure her chameleon ability was active and waited for the fighting to commence before she slipped from her hiding place towards the armoury. Thankfully some of the Shard troops who seemed to be doing things inside the armoury had come out to help, leaving the door cracked open for Rose to slip through. They didn't notice the slight movement in the door as Rose squeezed herself through. Once inside she wasted no time finding her way towards the control room. She of course came across the occasional guard. But most were outside helping fight to keep people from getting into the armoury. When she found the door, she quickly picked it's lock. Not long after that she was inside slaughtering all those in the room and then locking the door behind her as if no one ever entered. Stepping over dead bodies Rose approached the control panel. "I am in. Activating now." She kept her transmission short and sweet. Just enough to get the point to Jayce. With that she got to work typing commands in the panel. ooc. I am so running out of ideas of battle posts. Sorry if these get smaller and smaller. Aster looked around the battle field. Sometimes it seemed like he, and Carissa were the only ones dropping enemies. Though Aster did have to give Ien credit, she was holding off a demi-god pretty well at the moment, so he couldn't dock her points for that. Besides that there was very little else going on that he could see besides unnamed men dropping. Well this was not looking good for them. Either way Aster was not ready to stop fighting. He would keep going to the bitter end, no matter how long that took, and right now it seemed to be taking forever. Aster kept on his feet and kept moving, jumping around meeting person after person on the battle field. Each person he met fell, one by one he moved. Aster didn't take time to look or acknowledge the life he had taken, there wasn't time for that. However he would be damned sure to recognize the lives taken from their side when this was all over. Bet Kill Count: Carissa: 20 Aster: 17
Anthea wasn't sure how to respond to the question about her not doing this on her own will. She bit the inside of her lip as she thought of the response. "I want to be here, but no, I didn't choose it myself, I do whatever my master wills me. He saved me from my inevitable death on the street, so I owe him my life, no matter what he wants me to do." She explained to Bryce. However she didn't seem sad about it, or like it was that forced. She actually seemed pretty fine that that was how her life worked. However soon after Bryce left to let others talk to her. One of the others that seemed to want to talk to her was Sanderson, given he called out to her moments after, from the seat at the head of the table in which he sat. He was telling her she didn't need to serve tea like she had. Honestly Anthea didn't know how to do much different or deal with herself in this situation, but she felt like she should try and oblige. Anthea slowly approached Sanderson. Stepping beside his seat she gave him a small bow. "Yes sir. I am sorry sir. Just force of habit." She explained before following the other instruction to take a seat. Anthea selected the closest seat to where she was standing and sat down in it. She poured her own cup of tea, and glanced around to see who else was eating. When she was enough people had helped themselves to the food, she decided to pick a scone up for herself. She felt a little awkward being at a big fancy table like this, eating with all the others. She saw people sit and eat and talk in a similar fashion plenty before, she just was never a part of it. So to join at the table was a strange, uncomfortable experience for her, and every bite of her food she wondered if she was using the proper etiquette for the dish she was eating. Laurentinus let out a long sigh as they were given permission to eat. He was more than happy to follow that. Laurentinus didn't waste much time piling his plate with various fruits and pastries. He glanced at the others as he did so. He had not been very social so far and he still didn't feel like it. As much as Laurentinus joined this society without much fear of things going too wrong, he was still a little nervous about people and their motives. He wasn't so trusting of people after two members of his own family where murdered in two different instances and his father left them. Either way he would make the world a better place, and he felt like this was the first step to it. Laurentinus just hoped that no one here would stand in the way of making things better for everyone. They all seemed like decently good people so far, it wouldn't be pleasant to heave to take one of them out, but he would do whatever he had to do.
Alexis, knowing what Shane was doing, could sense it and had a general idea about what was being seen in each memory he was going through. Alexis started to become a little uncomfortable with it all, but she allowed it to happen. She didn't fight it, she just did her best to keep herself calm through the entirety of it. The room was too quiet for her liking at that moment, as her mind was being picked at, and looked through. Even after it was done the silence continued for a long moment. The girl couldn't help but trembling slightly. The silence was finally broken with Shane's words of seemed like pity. Alexis shifted uncomfortably, not having a response for him. She simply waited in silence until he continued and finished talking. "I don't think I could ever handle seeing anyone else's burden. Not when I can't handle my own. I am no inspiration, and you shouldn't look at me as one." Alexis said. He had seen her past but not the thoughts in her own mind. Not the strength that was about to break. Alexis pushed Shane's hand away. "I can get up myself." She told him, standing up and carefully brushing off Remy's coat. "I should get back to Remy. I promised I would be back quickly and I already wasn't." She explained. With that Alexis walked back over to where Remy was. "I am sorry that took so long." She said quietly. Her eyes were slightly red and puffy from the tears she had tried so hard to hold back during everything that had happened. She was noticeably more quiet and saddened as she kept her eyes at the ground. She didn't know what brought her right back to Remy, but the way he treated her, it was almost like a safety blanket to her. She like it. Shane saw everything, so he understood, but Remy treated her like a normal person without knowing or asking. He just saw her in need and helped, no questions asked. That was something she was not used to. Even Ze Operator seemed to know at least some of what happened to her. This man in front of her was the the only person with no clue who just seemed to want to help her. Perhaps he would be the reason she made it through the tower. Secretly she wouldn't be drawing on her own strength, no matter what Operator or Shane thought or saw in her. She would use him. The way he treated her as a reason to keep going and live. Besides she had to keep the coat safe after all. Samuel soon found himself following his brother and the other man towards the stairs. He hadn't liked the comment about his face turning red from seeing a nearly naked girl, but it was a bit true. He almost hoped that he wouldn't see that woman on the next floor so he wouldn't have to embarrass himself once again. All the brains in the world wouldn't beat teenage hormones it seemed.
"I know... Aaron has told me about that. I already owe.... er... What is her name? Why can't I remember these things as easy any more? But that girl.. I owe her for saving my life and bringing me here." Tatiana begun in reply to the talk of payment. "I can't afford to pay you though... I have no money to my name currently, and I am also in no condition to keep any sort of job. Who would hire someone who can't keep their own thoughts straight. Unless I got caught in the same trap as last time." Tatiana explained to Derrick. She really was in no place to be paying anyone or asking anything, but what could she do? She couldn't just be free and let her friends suffer, and she couldn't not take the help offered. "Is there some way to work off the payment? Something I can do? I don't know what else to offer, unless of course you have a better idea." Tatiana suggested. She was restless and nervous about the situation, but she managed to get herself to sit back down in the blankets brought for her earlier. As much as she wanted to be up walking around her body told her she was too tired to do that. On top of that, if another wave of pain hit, she didn't want to be caught off balance and possibly fall. She didn't want to seem that hopeless. She wrapped herself up in a blanket and sat up looking at Derrick, hoping, waiting for some other suggestion to come. "I am sure a lot of people see your face in their dreams. And I promise you there is no way it would ever be in a bad way." Seth assured Tessa with a small smile. "I mean when do angels ever not appear in a good way in dreams, and you are the greatest angel of them all." He stated getting back to his normal, flirty self, not letting himself be drawn back into the reality of his life by responding to the thoughts on the matter in his own life. If he could move on from that, it would be good. Seth began climbing down to the sewer. It wasn't the most pleasant place in the world, but he had to deal with worse before. There were numerous more gross places that he was forced to sleep in to stay out of dangers way, as well as a few not so pleasant escape routes through various towns. Even though he was used to it, he couldn't help but think to himself, why did the entrance have to be through a sewer? Once he was at the bottom, he turned around to offer Tessa a hand down if she wanted it. "Lead the way to the river." Aaron started by telling Veera as he walked through the open door. However not all of the plan seemed the best in his mind. "Do you think an inn will be too obvious, too easy for Vecslav to find us? I don't doubt he will be that far behind us. Perhaps we need to find somewhere to cover our tracks better. I don't know. On the other hand, maybe the best place is to hide in plain sight. He probably wouldn't think us that dumb. I don't know it is up to you." Aaron rambled. He was trained to hunt and kill monsters, not how to hide from fellow witchers that trained him. He had idea's on what to do, but he had no idea if they were right, that is why he was relying on Veera. It was still his first time really out in the world since graduating, he didn't feel confident just yet.
"No... I just use people as an escape. I hide behind the only thing I really know, and I use my ability to make people help me. I hate myself for it. I almost just want to leave it all behind." Alexis tried to explain, but she really didn't know what to say or what she was saying. She wanted to say something, comfort Shane from what he had gone though, but she didn't know how. What could she ever do to help with the fact he killed people. She didn't have anything nearly as bad, she used people but didn't do anything to hurt them. She only ever hurt herself. She always just hurt herself. Alexis swallowed and looked for words to say as she looked down at the ground. "I-I don't know what to tell you.... I don't think there is a right thing for me to say.... I want to help. I want to know what to say, I just... I can't. I am sorry." Alexis admitted. She hid her face slightly so Shane didn't see. "How can you live with yourself? I can barely manage to live with myself." Alexis asked. Alexis hesitated for a long moment before saying what she thought she should. "You said you could look at people's memories right? Well.... um... I don't think I have the confidence to tell you.... my life is a mess and I am so hopeless and scared. I thought I was here to escape that life but look at what I am doing. I can't. Just... Can you... I don't know maybe.... You will understand better if you just look." Alexis paused for a long moment before looking up at Shane. "I give you permission to look, at all of it. Then maybe someone here would fully understand me because I don't know how to show them." Alexis admitted. Her thumb rubbed the sleeve of Remy's coat. Perhaps one day she could tell him too so he could understand. Perhaps one day, but not today. She didn't know how she would. "Please just do it before I change my mind." She then asked again, trying to keep her resolve. "H-hey, that's not fair. I never really had time to spend around girls much. How should I know how to act. That doesn't make me a kid." Samuel tried to fight back, but as he did his face turned a little red again, picturing the girl. "Do we really have time to be discussing this anyways? Should we be doing something soon?" Samuel then asked to try and change the subject the best he could.
Alexis let herself lose herself in the kiss for a moment. However it didn't last all that long. Before anything could really happen Operator pushed her away and she stumbled back, falling to the ground. Alexis looked up at the man that pushed her, to see that he didn't look angry at her like most of the time she got pushed around after using her ability. Instead he just looked frightened. Alexis couldn't say or do anything about it however before Operator disappeared from her sight. Sitting on the ground a grim look crossed Alexis' face. She just had a very unexpected and unwanted reminder of what she really was. She just felt like garbage, something for someone to use then throw away when they decided she wasn't good enough. Why was she even here? Why did she even bother with any of this? Alexis looked at the coat that had fallen from her shoulders which it hung when she fell down. The man who gave it to her, Remy, he had helped her because he wanted to, not because she manipulated him. He made her feel like a real person. However soon after she found herself upset once more and fell back into her old ways, only to be tossed aside like trash once again. What was the point of it all? She just wished that she could get out of the tower right now. The fall had not only caused Alexis to feel like trash but it reminded her of her fourth owner. She traced the red inked tattoo down her side and thigh with her finger tip as her mind swirled with the abuse she had received there. The man had a thing for causing pain. On top of that whenever he was finished with her he had a similar habit of just pushing her away, though the look was not of fear, like Ze Operator's was, his look was of disgust, like he wanted nothing to do with her after he got what he wanted. The girls hands were trembling as she recalled one of her worst times during her life. That is when her thoughts were cut short by a voice. As much as she wanted to say yes, everything was fine, she found herself unable to lie. "No... I am not okay. Operator told me all this stuff cause he said he trusted me, but I didn't feel like I was worth it. I just wanted to distract myself from all that so I went to kiss him instead, and I might have used my abilities a bit. He pushed me and then disappeared. At that moment I was reminded of owner four.... I am scared. I can't stop thinking about that and I feel like absolute trash. What am I even doing here?" The girl looked about in tears as she spoke. She didn't once look in the direction of Shane, instead keeping her quickly blurring eyes straight forward, like something was going to appear on the wall or something. "You don't have to deal with the load yourself. I will help you, I can do this, I just prefer not dealing with as many people. However if you believe it is what is best, then I suppose I can support that. I might be smart but sometimes I am not the best judge of situations. I will admit that. But you won't carry the weight of it on your own. You don't have to take care of me all the time. I am not a kid anymore." Samuel spoke back to his brother. He was still fifteen, so in many peoples eyes he was a kid, but due to his intellect he didn't act or feel like one most of the time, thus he didn't want to be treated like one. He could handle himself as well as any physical or emotional load put on by doing this thing, even if it did mean dealing with people.
Alexis still didn't quite understand, why her? However despite this not understanding, she allowed Operator to talk and ask his question. She didn't know Alpha much, but from what she had seen she understood why Operator didn't want to talk to her. But what about the others? What about the males in the group? Why not talk to them? Either way it wasn't like there was much she could do about it now. She agreed to talk to him so she wasn't going to take it back. "What I want from this is a chance at a better life. I hoped at the end would be a reward, money or something. Something I could use to make a life for myself." Alexis told him, though she was not confident in her answer. In truth she didn't know why she was here, perhaps to tempt death. To make it all end. Maybe it was just to be somewhere warm for once. Perhaps it was even to find friends. She didn't know. However she didn't let this show. Instead she had to find a way to distract him before he was somehow able to see through her. Alexis stepped closer to Operator and ran her hands up his chest. "You know I have had enough talk about this though. All it makes me thing of is the place I came from and I would rather not think of that. How about you help me with some distractions? You know, have a little fun?" Alexis really hoped her sexual inducement worked this time. And if it didn't she hoped for the very least hoped her womanly charms would get her somewhere. As her hands slid up they reached Operators shoulders and she tried to wrap them around his neck, as she went in for a kiss. She knew what men wanted and how to give it to them, so she hoped this would work.
"Are why tell me this?" Alexis responded. "It isn't like there is anything I can do about it. And I assume that there is no escape, so what are we supposed to do? We are trapped in a tower that is trying to kill us, and this is the first time you thought something was off? I don't know where you come from, but none of this is particularly normal. As for the fact they are a floor above that is deactivated. Is it not possible that they are truly in control of the tower. It sure seems that way. But in the end. Like I said what do you want me to do about it? In the end I am just a whore who has nothing going for her." Alexis stated to Operator. It was true that she thought she had nothing to offer, now she was just trying to accept there is other people trying to mess with them and make her life even more of a living hell than it already was.
Alexis glanced between Remy and Operator one last time as she made her decision. She let go of Remy's arm and turned to him. "I don't know what this is about but it might be important. I will be back in a bit, okay?" Alexis said before turning away from him. She felt bad for just ditching the man after he had been so nice to her, but what other choice did she have? She wouldn't just walk away when someone requested to speak to her, even if it was alone meaning she had to walk away from someone else. Everyone deserves the chance to speak. "Okay, lets talk." Alexis said to Operator, before following him to whatever private place there was to talk away from people. She was a bit nervous and uncertain. She didn't know what Operator wanted to talk about but since it was alone it couldn't be good. Alexis adjusted the coat hanging over her shoulders while waiting for Operator to talk.
Silvia thought for a second how she could get herself to the top. Sky dragon magic wouldn't be helpful, since it was more support magic. Card magic she didn't quite understand yet, so that left earth. Silvia took a deep, shaky, nervous breath before trying out her magic. She slowly lifted up a piece of earth from under her feet, so she remained standing on it. From there she tried to move it up and forward. Instead of it moving nice and slowly, it shot off. Part way she ended up falling off, luckily onto the part she needed to be, but the fall was quite painful. Meanwhile the rock kept flying until it hit a solid object and shattered. Silvia let out a slight groan and didn't bother getting up right away. Perhaps she would be ready to move when everyone else was at the top. Thea sat and thought about what was being said. "What if someone just didn't want people to get to the cave. That is why the bridge is blown up. They were hiding something here and didn't want others to have access." Thea suggested. If magic was used on the plants. Someone with magic could have been around and had a way to the cave that didn't need the bridge. It was just an idea she had and she figured it didn't have much weight to it. She just hoped that it could be helpful. If not, oh well, she would find something else to keep herself occupied, hopefully this one wouldn't turn deadly. Thomas paced around a bit. He didn't much care for the discussion at hand. Yes they were going to help the demon, despite the fact he thought that might end up being a bad idea. And he felt like the most simple, obvious question to ask would sound stupid if it came from him, since it seemed that most people looked down on him. Thomas just wanted this whole thing to be over. "Is their someone we should be beating the crap out of and making learn a lesson to leave those guys alone? If so, where are they and can you bring us to them. May as well go to the source and end it." Thomas suggested. Trevor listened closely to the beggar woman. It was true that most people would pay any mind to people like her, so she was likely to hear a lot of things. The idea of the judge wanting to marry the girl however was a bit unnerving. Trevor knew that there was only so much that he could do about it. They had limits to what they should do, but still, he had to find a way to stop it if he could. "I say we pay Beadle a little visit before we piss off the judge too much. See what he has to say." Trevor suggested as he glanced over at Dale. "What do you say. That or go straight to the source of everything, so it seems."
