( Private Action - The Bay )

[Action - Morning; The Bay / Genessia City]

[As she dragged her body through the waters of the Bay, she would feel her right leg give out, causing her to fall into the water below. She shuddered as the chill air swept over her soaked body while she steadily got back to her feet. That box in her hands was wet now, but that was hardly a concern right now.

Her eyes squinted in response to the morning light as she emerged from the Bay. Muttering a curse, she stepped out further, the light shining off her deathly pale skin. The hologram startled her, her muscles painfully tensing in response. If she were in a better condition she would have been quick to attack it whether it meant any harm or not, but she could only tell herself to calm down. She listened to it as best she could, but the sheer pain she was in made it difficult.

Instead, she would carry her wounded body further into the city, blood soaking into the elegant yet tattered dress she wore. She ignored the stares of the citizens, who she assumed were likely staring at the small draconic wings on her back and the long, black spaded tail. Or they might be noticing the amount of blood on her, it was hard to tell.]


[Action/Voice - Night; Schnee Company]

[Somehow, someway, Lachesis had ended up in Genessia City's hospital, but it certainly would not keep her there. Although she was still in pain, the bleeding had stopped and as far as she was concerned, that meant she was well enough to simply leave whether a doctor liked it or not. Not bothering waiting for anyone's approval, she simply left the quickest way she knew how- right out her room's window. Her wings may be far too small for any sort of proper flight, they were at least enough to slow her descent and allow her to safely land on the ground and simply walk away casually from the grounds.

She would end up at the Schnee Company's welcome services building. Although she was unable to take in the information from the hologram at the time, she clearly remembered the "Schnee" name. She would spend much of the night there, reading as much as she could about this new world. This must be why her sword is cooperating with her again- they weren't home, which meant Lachesis was no longer a threat to the Xylian Empire.

It would take some toying with, but she would eventually get the strange device from the box turned on to broadcast her voice, a thick accent that could be best described as possibly Romanian coming over the network. Her voice is weak, but she maintains her refined disposition.]

These "spirits" that this would possesses. How might one seek out to learn more about them? And do not bother telling me to go to the "Schnee Company" as I am already there.

[Always straight to the point. She would pause before asking another question.]

And tell me, are there wyverns in this realm that I may tame? These... carriages, or whatever you may call them, are far too... inelegant.

[Not to mention loud and obnoxious.]

Love festival? No thank you aka my old friend overtime will be calling.

Luke showed up...have you talked to him yet? I know he posted on the network. I ran into him and his friend while I was out. First good thing I've seen during these kriffin' snowy patrols if you ask me.

But I'd like to know where in the heck they were before here. It wasn't home, that's for sure. He talked about a collar and some kind of being forced into sex thing. I'd sure like to find who the hell was responsible and let them have it.

And all I gotta say is if they try pulling Mara in, they'll be lucky if anything's left standing. You do NOT want to make that woman mad and if she were to ever hear what Luke went through, it won't be pretty.

I haven't said much about her yet, though...he's a lot younger, and I don't know that I need to spill it just yet.

Sorry, I'm just ticked. No one messes with the people I care about, especially not like that.

[ Here's another video from your local Jedi Knight and he's not only looking cheesy as hell, but also has a certain Kylo Ren by his side, wedged securely in place with an arm over the other man's shoulder. Kylo looks rather uncomfortable with the situation, but at the same time it's questionable if he could escape it somehow if he wanted to...

It's Anakin who speaks, grinning stupidly at the camera. ]

Padmé. Padmé! It's me- Or us?

[ He quickly looks at Kylo, then beams some more. ]

Guess what? OUR GRANDSON IS HERE! That's right! I met with Kylo here and it turns out we're going to have grandchildren one day! Which means- Which means we're going to have children after all! Oh--

I need to talk to Luke! And Ahsoka... We may have to tell her. What do you think?

[ Is he babbling now? Yes, he's babbling now. ]

You know, I never thought about having kids. It should be wrong and yet-- And yet I'm here with my future grandson!


[[ ooc: This is pretty much happening after this thread. So it may be somewhat backdated. Anakin attempts to message Padmé privately, yet fails at doing so because this family needs more public embarrassment. ]]

Action 1: For Ellen

Suguha lay motionless, a cord length stuck in a outlet in the wall. She seemed quiet, with a device wrapped around her eyes. If Ellen found her in their shared room for the time being, she would be too quiet, like something had happened. In truth, Suguha was experiencing the VR that the city provided.

But all too soon, she sighed and opened her eyes. "It's not immersive enough."


Action 2: For Outside

Suguha had gone for a walk.

It seemed that even in the cold, Suguha didn't really find it all that bothersome, as she wandered from place to place, shop to shop.

She steered clear of Fayren, having no way to deal with anything, but she was looking for a sporting good shop. A shinai would be nice to swing around.

Otherwise, she went to the coffee shop where she met Takeru previously. But her mind was far away.

"Love huh..."

Anon Post

Just a single post. Neo's post got her thinking.

Suguha knew she had issues. And yet... she had to ask.

How do you deal with forbidden love?

A. Genessia Public Library

[The assault on Winter hadn't gone so hot, and they were currently in the planning stages of what to do next. Ted's not much for grand stratagems, though he'd review any romantic novels to see what tactical brilliance they had to give. Like Layamon's Brut, for example.

This is what led to him quietly sobbing to himself on a desk, book in hand.]

"Oh, Lancelot, you rat bastard! Was Guinevere so lovely and Camelot so worthless to trade the latter for the former? What terrible creatures women are, and the men who fall for them."

[These literary lamentations are just quiet enough to avoid the ire of the librarians. But if you, unhappy reader, wish to keep Ted from talking to himself, by all means.]

B. Outside the Library!

[Somehow he perseveres over the sorrows of Arthur, choosing instead to reflect upon the joys.]

"Well, for all Arthur's calamities, he did have a few things going for him, like his birth. Even if Merlin did...help his father fornicate with another man's wife..."

[That was a little disturbing. Wasn't he here to think positive?]

"But after that! Like, say, when the elves robbed him from the cradle to give him his virtues, and such."

[He sighed dreamily.]

"Why couldn't I have been kidnapped by elves? Is that so much to ask?"

[Again, he's not talking to any but the ether. Again, you're free, brave pedestrian, to change that.]

Video: Locked to her CR, from close friends to people she's talked to at least once

[ It had been a while since Ayame really connected and reached out to her friends here in Genessia. Apart from saying hello here and there, attending parties to sneak a free drink, or dropping by their places of work for brief amounts of time, she has yet to really spare hours or even a day for them. Feeling her guilt stack up from all those months of absence, Ayame decided to take a night off and invite people to her home. ]

Hello, everyone. Good morning. It has been some time since I spared a moment with you all, and I would like to change that today. I do apologize for being so inadequate in keeping in touch; my businesses have been taking most of my waking hours. Needless to say, I wish to invite you all for dinner at my house should you be available. Tonight at precisely 6pm.

[ Ayame has enough time this morning to gather up supplies and just magic her way through in making a feast. Even if some people wouldn't be available to attend from how sudden this invite is, there's her girlfriend Yuyuko to eat all of it. Speaking of Yuyuko, who had been living with her for some time now, might have heard the mention of dinner. So from off the corner of the screen, a wild ghost woman appears! As usual, Yuyuko appears to be her cheery self. ]

Did I hear something about dinner?~

[ She hums, because of course she's summoned by the mere mention of food. She wraps her arms around Ayame from behind before realizing she's making a video to the network. There's a pause, but she gets this brief little mischievous glint in her eye as she leans in to kiss Ayame's cheek. She then proceeds to float away with a soft giggle. ]

Oh, sorry to interrupt!~ I'll leave you to it.

[ Ayame feels heat creep up the skin of her face from the surprise of Yuyuko sneaking a kiss on her cheek. For her friends and acquaintances to see, too! ]



Yuyuko...!

[ Slackjawed and stammering for her words, Ayame's train of thought has stopped dead on it's tracks. She touches her cheek and still feels Yuyuko's kiss on it while she regains her composure, glancing to her side from time to time in case Yuyuko decides to sneak another one. ]

A-anyhow... Apologies, but that is my girlfriend Yuyuko just now... [ Sigh ] Well, where was I...? Oh, correct. Please don't be shy in inviting a friend of your own. I can gather enough ingredients to feed an entire guild. But I'm most excited to cook my own spaghetti recipe for all of you to try. It's quite unique as you would see. So... yes. I'll hopefully see you all then?

[ OOC: Pink text is Yuyuko, and replies can come from either of them ]
