[RP] Final Fantasy IX: Scars of Terra

"Thank you Ricard, but..." Anne paused for a bit, shaking her head. "but that does not put my mind at ease."

"Well I can't fix the world's problems after all, but i'm here if you need me, okay?" Ricard gently placed his hand on her cheek and offered a smile before walking past her "We'd best head back soon anyway, it'll get dark before long. Besides, we've been gone a while, don't want to worry anyone"

--------------------------------------------

Eagerly picking up the quill and sheet, Vanessa, at a somewhat slow speed started writing down Atalanta's name, she hadn't learned to write for long so she had to take her time so she didn't make any mistakes and have to start again. When she had finished Vanessa replaced the sheet and walked back to Twin Sword.

"Twinny, will you walk back with me? It's d-dark" Vanessa kept her head low as she cupped her hands together to stop them shaking too much before looking up, pleading with her eyes.
 
Remilia Oveilia

So,are you here to rest like me or just taking a small break from the busy city?

Remilia smiled as she tossed her staff on a random bed.

"I'm here to sleep. I don't like to fight for entertainment. It's something I never enjoy. Why would a person risk their life just to prove they are better then someone else when they can do it with normal everyday ways? In any case, I'm just tired in any case. I plan on going shopping tomorrow before the festival starts. So I need my rest to get an early start." Remilia replied as she rubbed Aaron's ears a bit more before she got back up and walked over to her staff marked bed.
 
Aaron Sohm​

"I'm here to sleep. I don't like to fight for entertainment. It's something I never enjoy. Why would a person risk their life just to prove they are better then someone else when they can do it with normal everyday ways? In any case, I'm just tired in any case. I plan on going shopping tomorrow before the festival starts. So I need my rest to get an early start."Remilia said before rubbing my ears a little then getting up to head to her bed

"Well I didn't really join just for the fun,its a way for me to see how far I've come...And if I win I'll have something to show my Mentor when I visit his gravesite next time..."He sat up looking up at the ceiling he shakes his head and lays back down on the bed."Well even if your shopping be careful we don't know when or if that group will attack tomorrow..But since your a summoner I doubt I need to worry about you.He chuckles before closing his eyes.
 
The Twinsword

"Twinny, will you walk back with me? It's d-dark"

Twinsword looked at Vanessa and smiled. "Alright then, I'll take you home." She turned towards Alleria and spoke to her. "Well, I guess we'll be seeing each other then." Twinsword did a two-bit salute before taking the girls hand and walking to the next aircab to arrive. "So where's your home, Vanessa? I know you don't live over by the castle?"

Annelise Steiner

"Well I can't fix the world's problems after all, but i'm here if you need me, okay?"

Watching Ricard walk off, she nodded before listening to what he had to say. "We'd best head back soon anyway, it'll get dark before long. Besides, we've been gone a while, don't want to worry anyone"

"That's actually what I said...Hey, wait!" Anne said, seeing she was falling behind of Ricard as he headed up the steps to the Aircab Station. The Alexandrian Knight ran forward, moving to keep up with the Pluto Knight up ahead.

(OOC: Will post as Atalanta following a post from Sir Fratley)
 
Alleria nodded. It would be interesting to face her in combat later, if possible. The battle that she and Ricard had with her was quite the challenge - and she adored such challenges. Her only regret was her fear of heights holding back her otherwise stellar performance. The thought sounded overbearing, even to herself, but it made her feel better.

Watching as Twinsword left for the Aircab station with the small girl, Alleria began contemplating her next course of action. There was not much she could do for now but rest, yet it was not something she intend to do. Turning about, she walked down the streets of Lindblum, marveling at the technology that filled almost every part of the city.

She read about all this in textbooks - like with many other things - but have never seen it in person. It filled her with awe at how different this city was from Ipsen, and how far behind Ipsen was in comparison to this city. Alleria continues walking, passing several shops before stopping outside a tavern.

"Ha, alcohol's the one thing that never change," she remarks as she entered the tavern and ordered a mug of beer at the counter.
 
Robert Crescent​

Robert gave a polite bow of the head to Atlanta's invitation. "Thank you milady. I have little else to do at the moment since the festival isn't until tomorrow. And it would be nice to meet more people." he spoke to the woman. "Please, lead the way." Robert spoke in a polite tone of voice. He'd wait for Atlanta to take hold of Lucia before following the pair of ladies. He carried his lance like a walking stick, keeping the blades upwards towards the sky.
 
Atalanta Palaiologos

"Thank you milady. I have little else to do at the moment since the festival isn't until tomorrow. And it would be nice to meet more people."

Atalanta smiled, "Well, aren't you a thoughtful guy." She said gleefully before walking with Lucia out of the darkened theater.

"Please, lead the way."

The tall, pink-haired mercenary nodded and began heading up the stairs, but instead of turning right towards the aircab station, she turned left. Her home was on the end of the street, funnily enough, the same street where Tantalus made their HQ. Her home was a large, two story home not unlike the buildings of the theater district. It wasn't all that lavish when they walked inside, with wooden floors with at least a rug in the common room, a set of stairs that led to the bedroom on the left and a room to the right where she would cook food, though sometimes Vanessa could cook her meals as well.

"Welcome to my humble abode." Atalanta said, chuckling to herself.
 
"So where's your home, Vanessa? I know you don't live over by the castle?"

"I-In the Theater District" Vanessa then grabbed Twin Sword's hand and started walking her to Atalanta's house, seeing some people walk in Twin Sword slowed her pace when she saw a male Burmecian enter "B-but... Why sis?"

Vanessa felt her heart race as her anxiety built, her grip began to tighten on Twin Sword's hand as she pulled Twin Sword's arm into her chest as she moved closer to her.

--------------------------------------

"That's actually what I said...Hey, wait!"

Ricard laughed a little when he saw Annelise try to catch up, when he reached the Aircab to Lindblum Castle he waited for her, taking her hand when she arrived, gesturing for her to get on first he followed afterwards. Standing with her by the doors he waited for them to arrive before walking off with her, still holding her hand.

Continuing his walk towards the lift, he stopped with Annelise before they got on "Are you sure everything's fine? You might not be able to catch me alone much after tonight after all"

------------------------------------------

Holding on to Atalanta's body as they entered her house, Lucia released her grip and at a remarkably slow pace walked towards one of the armchairs and sat down in it. Keeping her head held low she kept her hands on her legs before lightly lifting her head to observe her surroundings, for a two person house it was certainly homely and warm.

As Lucia was starting to ease into the place she heard a low voice from outside, her mood however prevented her rising to react to it, simply waiting for the presence to announce itself.
 
Lan Ester

Lan got back up from his bed and exit the room. Leaving the inn soon afterwards, the green haired genome started walking around the city taking in the sights until he found a tavern. While it wasn't wise for him to drink himself stupid before the festival, Lan decided to have a mug or two before getting some sleep. As he entered, he saw a familiar genome at the tavern counter. He pulled a seat next to Alleria.

"It's not like a knight to try and get drunk just before the Festival of the Hunt is it Alleria. You are in it right? One mug please." Lan muttered looking at the genome knight.
 
OOC: Okay, I'm officially sick of waiting now. :brooding:

IC:

Annelise Steiner

"Are you sure everything's fine? You might not be able to catch me alone much after tonight after all"

Anne looked out of the window as the aircab began to speed off to the castle. "Right now, I just need to spend some time alone. I need to think for a moment." Anne crossed her arms as she saw the sights of the entire city, the cab climbing higher in altitude doing so.
----
The Twinsword and Atalanta Palaiologos

Twinsword could feel Vanessa's hand tremble as Robert entered the house along with Lucia and a very tall pink-haired woman. Bending down next to her, the ex-Lord General said softly, "It's okay, I'll be here by your side okay?" Twinsword smiled at Vanessa, looking calm as she took her hand and walked beside her, letting her hold onto her hand as they walked over by the house. "Hey there Robert, Lucia."

Atalanta turned around and saw the young navy-blue haired girl, holding Vanessa by her hand. "Vanessa!" Atalanta exclaimed as the giant of a woman walked over to her, getting down on one knee. Even then, she was still way taller than her. "Who's your new friend?"
 
Robert Crescent​

Robert smiled to Twinswords. "Good to see you Twinny." the Burmecian knight spoke with a friendly tone of voice. His eyes looked over to see the little girl practically hiding behind Twinny. He blinks a bit, wondering what the girl was frightened about. He looked over at Atalanta, since she seemed to be friends with the young female. "Is something wrong?" Robert asked in a confused and cautious tone of voice.
 
As Vanessa was dragged while she resisted in vain, Twin Sword brought her inside, to which Vanessa immediately hid herself behind her, surprisingly keeping almost all of her body out of sight behind Twin Sword's. As Atalanta approached the two, Vanessa moved her head into view, though kept her tight grip on Twin Sword.

"Who's your new friend?"

"I-It's Twin Sword, she helped my find the sign up sheet"

Vanessa tried to smile while she looked at Atalanta, but this was shot down moments later.

"Is something wrong?"

Hearing the sound of the man's voice sent a shiver up Vanessa's spine as she clung on to Twin Sword even more tightly "W-Why is h-h-he here?"

-------------------------------------------

Realising Twin Sword had discovered Lucia, she knew she could not allow her to find out what happened, shaking her head slowly in Robert's direction she proceeded to stand up, trying to hold her emotions at bay while she made for the stairs to get out of Twin Sword's sight. Though this was probably leading to her outstaying her welcome here she wasn't about to make herself look the victim or be teased over this.

-------------------------------------------

"Right now, I just need to spend some time alone. I need to think for a moment."

Ricard lightly scratched the back of his head "Well if you say so, just don't forget what I said earlier okay? You're not the only one who hurts in this world, we all have to pitch in to help each other" as Ricard gently pushed his hand through Annelise's hair the aircab reached the castle. Moments later Ricard stepped out and proceeded down the stairs before looking over to Annelise again.

"Whatever you choose to do though, don't stay out too long, you'll need plenty of sleep for morning after all"
 
Annelise Steiner

"Well if you say so, just don't forget what I said earlier okay? You're not the only one who hurts in this world, we all have to pitch in to help each other"

Annelise closed her eyes as Ricard ran his hand down the Alexandrian Knight's hair. The aircab would finally stop at the top of the station at the outside of the castle's hangar. After seeing Ricard depart the cab, Annelise followed him out and saw him down the steps.

"Whatever you choose to do though, don't stay out too long, you'll need plenty of sleep for morning after all"

Anne nodded "Thank you for your advice, Ricard. Good night." She then turned over and look out to see the city. By then it was already nighttime, the twin moons of Gaia were in full view tonight, and as Anne closed her eyes for a bit, she could feel the gentle breeze of a late winter's evening blow by her. What she thought about was what to say, what could she say to Gisale should those two cross swords with each other. Even though she left Alexandria to help and take down Oeilvert from the inside, for what reason why she would do something of the sort. Why couldn't she take them on with her by her side?
----
Atalanta Palaiologos and the Twinsword

"I-It's Twin Sword, she helped my find the sign up sheet"

Twinsword smiled and made a courtesy bow, "It is a pleasure to meet you miss..."

"Atalanta. Atalanta Palaiologos, and thank you for taking care of Vanessa for me." The woman smiled, before turning to Vanessa, still nervous, though she already knew what made her so.

"Is something wrong?"

"W-Why is h-h-he here?"

Atalanta put her hand on Vanessa's head and ruffled her hair a bit. "Don't worry, he's not a bad guy, just head on up to your room and get ready for bed, okay?" She smiled gently, trying to reassure Vanessa. She was never one to let anything bad happen to her, and would protect her from anyone, even if they were in the house with her too.
 
"Don't worry, he's not a bad guy, just head on up to your room and get ready for bed, okay?"

"Y-yes ma-" stopping herself from finishing she simply bowed her head and took Twin Sword's hand in both of her's and somewhat forcefully walked her upstairs to her room and kept the door closed tightly before clinging tightly to Twin Sword's chest, trying to calm herself down.
 
Alleria

The girl gulped down her fifth mug of beer, grinning at her challenger who was already knocked out on the counter. The crowd cheered as Alleria raised her mug in triumph. The bartender, pleased with the mood, refilled her mug. "I'm impressed," he gushes as he holds back the jug just as the mug gets filled to the brim.

Alleria nods as she turns to the counter as she sipped the beer. Her accommodation back in the castle was long forgotten now. The tavern quietens down as the crowd dispersed. The band, glad that the attention could finally return to them, began playing their tunes - though it seemed no one was really paying them any heed.

Alleria glanced around the crowd, smiling at some that raised their glasses to her.

"Whoops, where's the loooooo--"

The bartender's amiable expression gives way to panic as he gestures to the side exit. Alleria laughs as she stumbles towards the door, pushing past it and collapsing beside the wall. "Sweeet! Always lo-" She turns to her side, bent over as she pukes.

"Gah, about time tooo head b-baaack..."

She sighs,"Tsk. Maybe later."
 
Robert Crescent​

Robert scratched his head a bit. He figured he probably cut an intimidating figure, or she was probably scared of Burmecians. He looked over to Atalanta. "If it's better that I leave, I don't mind stepping out. Is she normally afraid of my kind, or just of me?" he asked her in a puzzled tone of voice. He had never met anyone that was that petrified of him before. Perhaps it was a phobia of sorts? He didn't know.
 
OOC: Is it me Monarch, or are all your characters alcoholics... :p

Btw, I think Lan was to make contact with you?

Finally, short post ahead :/

IC:

The Twinsword

"Y-yes ma-"

"Whoa, hey!" Twinsword said as Vanessa grabbed her hand and headed up the stairs. The black haired girl was then led to her room. Once the girl shut the door behind her, Vanessa would jump on Twinsword, her face resting against her chest as she tried to calm herself down. Twinny rubbed the girls hair and gave her a hug. "It's okay...tell me. How come you fear men so much?"

----
Atalanta Palaiologos

"If it's better that I leave, I don't mind stepping out. Is she normally afraid of my kind, or just of me?"

"No!...no...it's just that Vanessa's Androphobic, she has a fear of men." Atalanta said, slowly standing up. "It most likely was from her last master and his mistreatment of her."

Lan Ester

Lan sighed as he followed Alleria out of the bar just to see her barf. Smiling, Lan walked over to Alleria and placed one of her arm over his shoulders.

"Honestly now, drinking til you puke, you are going to have one massive headache tomorrow morning. How about resting in my inn room for the night?" Lan asked as he supported Alleria as she would start to walk.

Robert Crescent​

Robert listened to Atalanta's explanation. "Her former master?" he questioned curiously. That title could take on one of two meanings. Either she was a slave, or she was a hired servant. Slavery was largely illegal in all four of the major countries, but Treno was pretty much known for the black markets and all things that would be criminal in other places. Still, no country was crime free. "Well, I hope one day she can see that very few men are like that of her former master, regardless of whether she was a slave or hired servant. It would be a shame to wall out so many good people from her life because of the actions of one man." he said calmly.
 
Atalanta Palaiologos

"Her former master?"

"Yeah" Atalanta shrugged, "A noble from Treno, owns an Auction House there. Perhaps you heard of him?"

"Well, I hope one day she can see that very few men are like that of her former master, regardless of whether she was a slave or hired servant. It would be a shame to wall out so many good people from her life because of the actions of one man."

Atalanta crossed her arms, looking out the window into the night sky of the city. She sighed as Fratley added that statement. "Heh, it ain't easy, I can tell you that. But I wanna try. As long as she can make friends, those who can look out for her, maybe she will get over it down the road." Atalanta shrugged, though it was something she would think people would get over, maybe not. But it was only a couple years ago since Atalanta bought her from King and subsequently released her so she could raise her as her own rather than wasting her life in servitude.
