[ It's a sensation not unlike suddenly being turned right-side-out.

Asma awakens curled against the base of the fountain. For a moment it's there she remains; then she slowly sits up, curling her mending arm to her chest. She takes in the remains of the wrecked town, making no note of the way things seem to be fixing themselves as soon as she turns ( Read more... )

[[The sun is shining, a cool breeze makes it's way through the town, and the Raven is running through town like a school boy just released from the semester. He manages to stifle any joyous whoops, having already screamed himself hoarse after initially discovering his emancipation from the Mage's curse (he had killed a mouse unlucky enough to try ( Read more... )

[[Starting near the library's entrance, the trail of destruction within inevitably leads right to the town's premiere red-headed nuisance. Without any regard to any of the town's denizens need for reading materials, the Raven is systematically pulling down books from their shelves, flipping through them for any mention, however brief, of his curse ( Read more... )

[[Anyone coming by the vampire Ahiru’s usual tree to see her-that is, anyone without the knowledge that she had disappeared-would be met with someone very different, indeed.

Asma has curled up at the base of the tree, knees tucked up under her chin. White bandages, stained with blue, are wrapped rather clumsily around her torso, and her left arm is ( Read more... )

[[A deafening sound somewhat like something being torn apart can be heard from one of the five gates surrounding the town, and someone who appears to be a badly wounded Kraehe double appears in front of the gate. She staggers a few steps forward, then drops to her knees.

Oh, who could this be?

Why, it's Asma, of course, who pushes herself ( Read more... )

[[Apparently one of the town's many buildings is host to a winery, which the Raven has no qualms pilfering it's stash of barbera wines. Of course, he had to be sure the quality of his stolen goods was worth taking was top-quality, which led to several empty bottles littering the floor of the main showroom by the time he had finished inspecting ( Read more... )

[[Asma-Rue is sitting on the railing of a bridge, staring down past her feet and into the water. She looks… peaceful, almost. Serene. It’s not a bad day, not a bad day at all…

Lillie’s words had floated into her mind moments before, like she was there reading out the story besides the Roc. As if it wasn’t creepy enough just looking at her, now she ( Read more... )

[[FA-KIR rolls about on the wheels beneath his robotic feet, a small vacuum installed between his metal hands. The white maintenence robot zooms down the streets of Ginkan, when suddenly, his alert is activated when he passes an innocent tree. He scans it quickly.]]

...FOREIGN CONTAMINANT.

[[His robotic eyes narrow, and his voice is low ( Read more... )

[ Just outside of the open door to the weathered-down little house that hid a gigantic library within, a beastly growl rumbles from the large and black-furred prone form on the street---followed by a terrifying roar as it rears its wolfish head back to howl at the newly-revealed moon in the night sky. ]

[[A day since he arrived.  Ross spent the night at Caras's, pumping the Raven for information, although he'd never admit it to anyone else.  He's rested, fed, and a little bit more sane.  Still not enough to be normal, but that's never going to happen.  And he already has a couple missions.  People to meet.  Things to take care of.]]
