Post by ★|Sayu on Nov 5, 2017 19:30:00 GMT -7
Reymondo opens his eyes. For a moment he doesn't remember where he is as he stares at the ceiling of his inn room. He glances to the side, seeing Rauj sleeping on the other bed across the room. That's right, he passed out the moment he entered the room. He glances in the other direction and sees his trusted friend Enkidu resting as well.
Selene wakes up in a similar fashion, initially believing she was back at the site she was being trained at. She recovers quickly though, seeing Lyn fast asleep. Or... was that even the same person? In the bed Lyn should have been in there now sleeps a completely different woman with long, bright blue hair and scaly wings jutting out of her blanket. The woman still has the same smell and general facial feature, however. Strange...
Dethrial awakens in a cold sweat. He can still hear the sounds of war from his bizzare dream and just for a moment he feels like he is back at home with his family. But the realization settles in fast as he looks about the strange inn room and finds Sirius poking away at Jen's forehead. As Dethrial decides to get up from the ground Jen finally wakes to the obnoxious jabs of his strange companion. She seems a little concerned, but gives a brief, exhausted, smile as he wakes.
The Rotation is... GM ► Selene ► Jen ► Reymondo ► Dethrial

Selene's eyes slowly open. Her vision was slightly hazy. Across from her she sees Mara all curled up in her bed fast asleep. This brought comfort to Selene. Everything she had experienced was just a dream. She closes her eyes and stretches. When she opens them again she doesn't see the barracks she became so familiar with, but the room of the inn. "So it was just a dream..." She says muffled by the covers. She lays there for a minute or so before tears well up in her eyes. "Mara...Jannes..." She chokes out. Her heart sank at the thought of their deaths. She reaches over into her bag and pulls out her gun. Embracing it tightly as she quietly sobs under the blankets. Another few minutes passes and she is able to calm herself down. She wipes away her tears and hops out of bed looking over to Lyn's.
She freezes as she sees not Lyn, but someone else. Mostly her blue hair. Selene sniffs the air and raises and eyebrow at the fact that the strange person seemed to smell the same. She raises the gun as she slowly moves towards the bed. Its raised aimed at the girl. She could see what appeared to be...wings poking from under the blankets. She makes her way around to the side where Lyn's face, or this persons face would be. Selene's readies her gun. She doesn't look like much of a threat being in her silk black nightgown, but it didn't matter. When she reaches her face she in fact doesn't see Lyn. "The hell?" she says in a confused tone. "I didn't hear anyone else enter through out the night but..." She thinks "It looks like her, and smells like her...but her body." She steps closer the gun aimed at her head.
Her eyes narrow. Her heart rate slows down as she prepares to fight. "You have a minute to tell me who you are. You're face looks like Lyn but your body says other wise. Speak." She barks and cocks the lever on her gun.

“C’mon bro!~” the energetic, dainty looking girl yelled as she skipped along the sidewalk to the Sjolars’ doorstep. Her hair was just beautiful as her mother’s; a rambunctious length barely contained by a few pins and a tie, always on the verge of some new adventure. “I’m going I'm going,” Jen says as he lumbers behind her, arms filled with things he can't remember. He had spent what felt like most of the morning with her, the details of which escape him. Jen continues to follow her to the door. “Mom and Dad said we can take a day off today while they’re at the market!” she exclaimed. - poke - “Hey slow down, don't run through the house. I don’t want you to get hurt,” he called out, suddenly much more tired than he was a second ago. - poke - What the hell...
Jen’s eyes cracked open, revealing a rather cute girl with luminous green hair looking over at him. She continued to prod Jen for about a second more until he was fully awake. “...Morning,” Jen mumbled, returning the smile she gave him. Getting up off the floor, he spoke again, “You don’t usually sleep... feeling ok?” After seeing her response, he continues, “We should probably get breakfast with the others I’ll ge-” the vampire hunter stopped mid sentence as he saw Dethrial in the room with him. “Good morning!” Jen said in a slightly louder voice due to his surprise. I trust you slept decently?” He noticed the faint scent of burning flesh that hung to him from the previous night. “Hold that thought, I’m going to shower. I’ll be right back…” Jen returns a second later, “Please keep your hands to yourself until I get back,” he adds somewhat jokingly before disappearing again.
Returning fully clothed, hair slightly wet, Jen continues his conversation with Dethrial. While having pleasantries with the large Alv, Jen gathers his belongings and approaches the door. “Hey S,” he says, patting himself to ensure he had everything on him, “How’s your magic tracking coming along?” He then waits to see if Dethrial and Sirius are ready to leave, before finally walking with both of them to the main lobby.

Reymondo doesn't have any dreams when he is sleeping, it is rare for him to dream of anything. At first he wakes up slowly, but then he realizes that he is waking up slowly. He quickly jumps out of bed to see Enkidu, tucked in a corner with one of the pillows that he has ripped open and is sleeping in the fluff. "Since when does Enkidu sleep through the morning?! He may be a different roster, but he is still a roster. Why didn't he scream at the sun?" Now that he is on his feet, he decides to walk around a bit, thinking. "It would seem that something happened to you last night. I was rather surprised that you went to sleep moments after you entered the room. But the odd thing, it would seem if Hammer passed out not long after you." Mitsuko says as she leans against the wall, just watching Rey pase a bit. "Do you think that the inn drugged us?" He thinks to himself knowing that Mitsuko can hear him. "I don't think so. The zombie seemed to fall to whatever happen as well and she didn't eat or drink anything from the inn."
Rey pounders for a bit but he the only thing he can guess is that there was something magical that affected everyone. He sighs and walks over to Hammer and shakes his shoulder a bit. "Hey, wake up. We need to get moving. Things aren't right here..." As Rey is saying this, he is also looking around the room to make sure everything is where he left if.

Dethrial gasps as his eyes snap awake as awoke from a nightmare, his face covered in a cold sweat and his breathing ragged. As he looked around the room he realized he was in his soft bed with Neilm beside him reading Cindisil a bed time story in the low light of the candle beside the bed. But for some reason the words seemed muted and everything began to blur and bizarre forms began to dance round them whispering words he could not understand. "What's happening, what's going on here?" Before he could reach out and touch them a darkness over took his vision and he awoke again but this time it was in the room of the inn.
Dethrial let out a long breath he did not remember he was holding in and looked around the room as the gray morning light was peaking through the window. To his surprise Sirius and Jen were still asleep and the whole inn seemed as if was a different place. "They look so normal when they're asleep...But why did I pass out so quickly last night? Something feels wrong even without Rey here." After a moment Dethrial unwraps himself from the blanket he had draped around his body and quietly pulls out his sketchbook and be begins to draw the room along with this two compatriots leaving no detail untouched. He only bothers to look up from his drawing when he hears movement from Sirius as she sits up and then leans over the bed with a soft smile to poke Jen in the face with the care of a lover but the impatience of a child. This made Dethrial forget everything for a moment and only want to capture this moment in time, and with a flick of his wrist and a smile he solidified his scene in his book. At that point Jen woke up and mumbled a few words to Sirius and returned her smile only to notice Dethrial to some sort of shock as he jumped a bit and said "Good morning!" in an unsteady voice as well as asking him if he slept well.
Not wanting to be rude Dethrial returned the greeting with a cheery note "I slept fine and thank you again for letting me stay here for the night. You two seem like the did just as well." Jen seemed uncomfortable for some reason and asked to be excused so then he could shower, Dethrial could only really think he wanted to rid him self of the smell of last night and nodded. Jen then left to the bathroom only to return and give a joke warning of sorts to behave. "You don't have to worry about me now, I understand you are different from your kin and shown me nothing but kindness for all my mess ups." Dethril spoke in a calm tone and smiled while waving him away.
Once Jen had left and he heard the shower running Dethrial stood up and stretched taking a deep breath before walking over to Sirius. "This may be odd to ask so early in the morning but so are so unlike anything that I know of that I want to ask you a few more detailed questions. Most of them would be about your anatomy and how you function and feel...would that be okay with you?" After getting her response he backs up and sits down in the chair going over his notes. Dethrial sits in silence as he ponders what could have happened last night and what happened yesterday until Jen exits the bathroom.
Not wasting any time Dethrial then begins to question Jen about everything from how the government of this land works to what they ate last night, keeping the conversation friendly and light hearted and occasionally asking for any input that Sirius could add. After batting Jen with questions Dethrial sits down and asks him "If you have any questions for me go right on ahead...and after that could you let me take a shower as well before we leave...and did you notice something strange last night?".

Lyn blinks tiredly. There are tears in her eyes and and she stares about with a confused expression. Though noticing the gun pointed at her she instinctively jumps up and holds up her hands in shock. It only takes her about a second or so to realize she had let go of her blanket on the way up and is standing at gunpoint almost completely exposed. Despite the immediate threat she reaches for the blanket and pulls it back up, making sure everything is covered properly.
"W-whats going on?" she asks, confused, remembering Rey's last words to her before she went upstairs to sleep. She stares at the barrel of the gun. Then briefly glances down at herself with a blush. "H-huh..." she stares back at the gun, looking obviously nervous and on edge, then at Selene.
"Selene, it's not what it looks like. It's me." she frowns nervously and takes a step back "Wait, look..." She drops her blanket, but seems to already being wearing more clothing: the academy uniform from earlier. Lyn keeps her hands lifted to show she has no intention of fighting back. Slowly her hair begins to fade colours, then change from a vibrant blue to a hazelnut brown as it recedes in length. Her eyes flicker and turn from pink to a vibrant green and slowly her face seems to become more familiar.
"I was so busy listening to everyone I never properly introduced myself to you. Forgive me."
Still looking somewhat nervous she continues to explain; "My name is Lyn'ee. I am a succubus from Bulova Rd. I can change my appearance at will... Normally, even in my sleep, I would have some more semblance of a human but... something strange put me at ease tonight and I lost the grip on my glamour."
Meanwhile in Jens room... Sirius nods to Dethrial in approval. "...I don't mind..." she says, sounding somewhat drained. "...what do you want to know...?" Though, it seems Dethrial is distracted asking Jen some questions, while he is at it. She doesn't mind though and simply waits for the two of them to finish, in case he still had questions after.
Jen feels surprisingly well rested, although, he seems to have a small headache lingering.

Selene looks Lyn from top to bottom before she covers herself up. She still smells the same...and her face is the same... Its probably her but. Selene doesn't put a finger on the trigger for safety purposes, but also because she senses no threat. As Lyn stumbles to explain everything Selene slowly lowers her gun. As Lyn drops her blanket again her body looks completely different. She was now wearing a whole set of cloths. Selene stands there mouth a gape. She gasps loudly with a smile as she throws her gun on her bed and proceeds to jump on Lyn's with her. She grabs her hands. "THATS SO COOL!!" She yells in excitement. "HOW DO YOU DO THAT!?!?!?! IS IT MAGIC!?!?!" As she asks she lightly bounces on the bed. "That would save me so much money!!! Can you teach me sometime??" She asks as she runs her hands down Lyn's body feeling the material. "Awesome..." She mutters.
After she gets her answer Selene hops off the bed. "Don't panic Lyn I don't shoot first, and don't be embarrassed about being naked in front of me. We're both girls. We have the same everything." She turns and walks to her bed. "I think." She grabs her gun and slides it into her bag. "If i had the ability to change my appearance and my cloths willingly I think I could die happy. Also." She turns to Lyn. "Don't put your hands up like that. If I wanted you dead you would of never woken up." She gathers her cloths. "I'm going to hop in the shower." She smiles. Her cloths bundled up in her arms. "Wanna join me?" She asks her tone devoid of any other intention.

“Oh of course, I can answer some questions before we head out,” Jen said, feeling a slight tinge of pain in the back of his head despite his rested state. Taking a step back toward the bed, he took time to answer the plethora of Deth’s questions, from Glayp'nier’s government to last night’s supper. Jen made sure to leave room in the conversation for Sirius in case she wanted to chime in on her own. During the conversation, the ache in the vampire's head grows ever so slightly.
After answering most, if not all of Dethrial's questions, Jen listens to what the knightly alv says next. “Honestly, as curious as I am about your people and you in general, I think it’d be best to meet with the others to see about the Winters situation first.” Placing a friendly hand on Dethrial’s shoulder, Jen assured him with a big grin, “We’ll have plenty of time to talk details. I have a feeling we’ll be in each others’ company for a good while.” Pausing for a moment to catch up with his own thoughts, he speaks again, “I didn't notice anything odd to be honest. Other than Sirius falling asleep, nothing was too out of place. Even that's not something that's completely unheard of... Tell you what, we’ll wait for you to shower, and then we can discuss this on the way to the main lobby, you've piqued my interest."

Reymondo frowns when Hammer doesn't wake. He shakes the man a bit harder and when that doesn't work, he grabs the man's shoulders with both of his hands and starts shaking him like a ragdoll. "This is clearly working. I'm sure if you keep at it, he will not only wake up but have shaken baby syndrome.." Mitsuko says with a large amount of sarcasm and rolling her eyes. Rey lets go of Hammer and watches him just flop back onto the bed, not having twitching. Fearing the worse, he puts his fingers to the side of Hammer's neck as we checks for a pulse. Rey lets out a sigh, feeling that the man's heart is still beating. He backs up a bit before thinking, "Have you ever seen anything like this before?" "Not at all. I would say to put the gun in his hands so I can see what is going on, but he could be under some spell. It could effect me that could have problems, like making me shoot the gun over and over again. I could become trapped within Hammer." "I see. You have a good point. I guess there is nothing to be done but sit back and wait. Hopefully he will wake up soon."
Rey walks away from Hammer and over to the table where he left his AQL. He picks it up and dials the number that Kaavi left for him to call. As he waits for her to answer, he walks over to the armchair and sits. "I really hope Kaavi can teach me to summon. I also hope it is something I can learn quickly. I would rather not let Winter's trail get cold." "Then why don't you just wait and have her teach you when you come back?" Mitsuko asks as she walks over to where Rey is sitting. "Because we don't know if wherever we are going will have a return trip. It would be better if I can get this done and over with"

Dethrial nodded and took down some notes as Jen spoke and noticed that Sirius is quietly waiting for him to speak to her. After he was done speaking Jen seem to flinch as if in some kind of pain, closing his current notebook Dethrial then pulled out his second one and opened it and turned to Sirius. "So, I'm going to ask some simple medical questions and if I can some medical tests on you to gather information on how you function. I'm also interested in any information you can give me about how you were changed and any and all urges you have as an living dead." Dethrial tried his best to keep eye contact and look pleasant as he drew her face in intense detail. "She's awfully cute for being a corpse, but she appears to not be rotting and is breathing at a normal rate...not sure if that's real or not." If Sirius answers yes Dethrial runs through a basic few questions like does she rot, does she need to breath or her heart beat, does she need to eat people to gain energy or sate hunger, finally he asks her if she has any idea how her clothes regenerate and if she can clone her own possessions with this magic. Keeping his ears open to any questions that Jen or Sirius would ask as he is working.
Dethrial hears Selene's yelling from the room above and slightly jumps but then readjusts to a calm appearance as she is only excited and not in trouble. Jen then tells him that is equally as curious about his people his hand on his shoulder to assure him that they will have plenty of time to chat but notes that he didn't notice something strange. Dethrial furrowed his brow at Jen answer but is glad that Jen is okay with him taking a shower. With a quick smile Dethrial stood up and walked to the washroom and after undressing he takes a few moments to figure out the shower and as the flow of hot water hit his face he couldn't help but enjoy him self for a moment and savored the feeling of getting clean after everything that had happened. After drying off Dethrial brushed his hair and made sure everything was in order before joining Jen and ready to leave.

Lyn watches Selene get all excited. Admittedly that put her a lot more at ease after waking up with a gun pointed to her face. The thought of going to bed without a glamour was both perplexing and rather frightening.
"I... umm..." she muses for a moment before answering her question. "Well... It's just something I do. All of my people can cast a glamour on themselves. It's like an illusion but more real. Unlike an illusion it doesn't shatter if it is touched." she ponders about last night again wondering what may have happened but is immediately distracted by Selene's offer. "A shower?" she looks the young girl up and down, thinking. "I suppose I can't find anything erroneous about your proposal." She gives Selene a nod of approval and the two of them proceed to the shower.
Watching Jen interact with Dethrial wasn't the most exciting thing. But then it was also necessary. Sirius knows that. So she patiently waits for her friend to finish.
When Dethrial begins asking her questions, she nods or shakes her head 'yes' or 'no' when she can. No, she does not rot. What a silly question, she finds. But then again... most zombies do. Perhaps not that silly of a question... Yes, she breathes, but she doesn't remember ever needing to. Do zombies normally breathe? She then cocks her head at the next question. "...sometimes... it helps me to focus..." she says, suddenly feeling somewhat self conscious about that.
As Dethrial then asks about her clothing she looks down at it, examining herself. She then looks back up at Dethrial with a slight smile. "...it's name is 'minyuin'. a..." she pauses for a moment, trying to remember. "...friend gave it to me a few decades back..." She fiddles around with her clothing and Dethrial can get a closer look at the inside fabric which seems to be rearranging its pattern constantly. "...i don't remember how it works but it can heal itself over time..."
Having finished their little conversation Dethrial decides to try out the shower. Sirius becomes a little lost in thought, pondering the questions. She hadn't really thought too hard about these kinds of things. They just seemed so natural to her. She supposes decades of wandering about alone, dying, waking up somewhere else, and repeating the process all over again makes you forget. She stares at the ground and begins to smile as she remembers her first encounter with Jen. The confused look in his face when she climbed out of her grave. The shock and panic that overcame him when he tried to help her out and found himself stumbling backwards with her arms in his hands. If she had the energy for it she would giggle.
Unable to wake Rauj, Reymondo decides to give Kaavi another call. He slides his finger along the brilliant crystal and views the display that pops up from its center. After punching in the numbers the crystal whirs to life with a continuous low hum.
No answer. Maybe she is busy, or it's simply too early. Although... Rey wonders what time it is. The AQL instinctively reacts with a satisfying chime and the display recedes back into the crystal to be replaced with a clock. It is 7 in the morning.
Trying to call again won't do him any good so he slides his finger back over the crystal to turn it off. Its shine and glimmer fade and the vibrant crystal loses some colour as it becomes docile once more.

After a shower consisting of laughs and much splashing Selene hops out grabbing a towel. A smile dawns her face, and for the first time in a month or so it was real. "There all clean." She says. Her voice cheery. She hums happily as she fluffs her tail with the towel and drags her ears through it to dry as well. After the wraps it around her and she proceeds to fix her hair. "Now for the very delicate process." She says with a playful smirk looking back at Lyn who by this time was stepping out as well. She looks back at the mirror doing everything she can to quietly giggle as Lyn gets a towel. A few seconds pass and Selene begins to frantically shake her head causing her hair to flick water all over the place. She uses fire to have hot air shoot from her hands to help the drying process. She yells and laughs as she does it clearly out of fun, and to get Lyn wet. She spins around to Lyn. The bathroom now completely wet. Selene's hair is frizzled and exploding in every direction. Her arms rise in the air. "TA-DA!!!" She yells with a huge smile. "With hair this good I'll have guys lining up for me!!" Again she giggles covering her mouth with her hands looking at the bathroom. "Haha woops. I guess I got a little into it. Eh oh well it'll dry." She says as she waves it off and walks out of the bathroom getting her hair into its right position.
She throws off the towel naked as the day she was born and gathers her cloths. All of which were folded very nicely next to her bed. A trait she was taught to do during her time in the military. "Soooo Lyn." She says in a curious tone as she begins to get dressed. "Tell me about yourself. I mean really this time. I got a snip-it from you a moment ago, but I'd like to know about you." She begins to fight her first shirt on. "You said you're a succubus?" She asks in a muffled voice. Her head pops out the top. "So I'm assuming you aren't from around here? Have you been here long?" She grabs her shorts and long elegant socks, and the other 47 layers she wears. "Have you been traveling with them long? The others I mean. "I was totally nervous when I was about to walk up to you guys the other night. I'm glad you were there though. I honestly felt better seeing another girl. Its nice to know I'm not the only one." She grabs her bag and straightens her cloths. (by this time hopefully Lyn is ready) Selene walks over to the door and props it open. "I think they said we get breakfast with the room." As if it was listening Selene's stomach growls. She looks down a little surprised. "Oh geeze it heard the word breakfast." She looks up as Lyn. "Come on Lynee lets go get the boys." She hops down the hall from foot to foot looking at the ground humming. Like she was playing a game and trying to to step in specific places.

After Dethrial left the room to shower, the duo were left to themselves. Nowadays a decent amount of their time together was spent in silence. They both appreciated it, Jen felt. Sirius usually had some oddity or trinket she was furiously messing with, but this time she just stared blankly at the floor. Jen noticed a smile forming on her lips as she sat. Anything out of her ordinary dull sluggish pace was quite infectious really, so it wasn't long before he was smiling too. Jen gives Sirius a gentle pat on the back. Don’t change. Jen then closes his eyes and begins to meditate. The headache he kept experiencing must've been some sort of strain, so he thought it best to relax as much as possible.
Not long after, Dethrial came back out of the bathroom (thankfully) fully clothed. At least he's not clueless about putting clothes on. I'm not sure I'm ready to be flashed so early on in the day. Jen joked in his mind. “So we’re good now?” the hunter asks, as he moves toward the door for the second time. “We’re off then.”

Reymond frowns when there is no answer. "damn it all...I am starting to get the feeling that this going to be a bit of a pain." He thinks to himself as he puts the crystal back into his bag. He then walks over to the pillow case that has the head inside of it. The smell of it beginning rot starts coming out of the sack. "You seem to be running out of time. I am rather shocked you didn't do your thing while you were having your meeting with everyone else?" She says now aimlessly walking about the room. "I wanted to...but then people were getting tired so I decided that i was going to do it before I went to bed but then whatever made everyone else tired, hit me like a brick. It doesn't matter, I will do it now." Rey says while changing out of his night clothes and into his favored clothes. After he has fastened the lantern to his side, he digs into his coat to pull out another one of his families trinkets. A small crystal named 'The Spirit Lens'. He had found some of them decorating his lantern when he was given it, but didn't know what it did for some time. He pulls his head out of the pillowcase and places it on the pillowcase. He then holds the crystal out and begins to focus his magic into the crystal. It takes it a small amount of time, but the crystal begins to shine in his hand and soon a pale blue light shoots out of the crystal and into the forehead. He now waits for it to work its magic.
As he is doing this, Enkidu wakes up with a yawn. He lets out a loud call to let the world know that he is wake. Once he is done doing his business inside the pillow nest he has made, he begins to walk around the room, clucking here and there. Soon he looks up at the bed that Hammer is laying in and jumps up onto it. He lands on the mans chest and is rather surprised that man didn't move. Enkidu starts pecking at the mans clothes, looking for food that he could be hiding.
