SS Day 1 - Sophia meets Amelie Vishkar

[17:33] Fethi listens to the explanation from the performer and hums in understanding. There are some who's magics simply come naturally to them and they needn't worry about the specifics. She happens to be one of them.

"I see, I see.." he replies simply.

As he speaks his hand opens, and with it appears frost. Frost spreads from his feet to the ground-- a chair is made, which he sits on. And as he does his eyes roll over to Larc.

"You've finished your research, hm? So quickly at that.."
(Fethi)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:33] Sophia walks proudly up to Alastor, holding her little head up high as she looksd him in the eyes and waitsd for his acknowledgement.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:33] Alastor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCcjDwZpIx4
(Alastor G. Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:33] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Hello."
[17:34] Sophia Song says, "Hello. I have been standing under the statue. I am ready."
[17:35] Yawen-An Zhenlin says, "I thought someone out have been punch you today"
[17:35] Grirsh Ilmish asks, "Who got punched by who?"
[17:35] Israa shrugs as neutrally as he can manage, slumping his shoulders up before slumping them back down. He stares at the purple woman for another moment before breaking his eyes off to glance at Landry with a smile. He lifts his chin up to show his Sarradin face, his steel eyes glancing at Landry's own.

"Eh, just curious - nothing important. You ever go exploring much?" Israa asks, looking down at Landry's shoes to inspect wear and tear! He turns his core, letting his knees fall in between Landry and himself as he turns himself to better face them.


(Israa Farhat)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:35] Yawen-An Zhenlin says, "Hmm well the lot of them seem to wanted to punch you as she called it."
[17:37] Alastor G. Vishkar asks, "Ready, for...?"
[17:37] "Huh."

The sight of Fethi bringing up a magical chair to sit on and then rolling his eyes was rather… Amusing to her, really.

"You know, if you wore a fancy dress, you could look really sassy doing that, Fethi." A slow nod as she scratches her chin, taking a few steps closer.

And she shoots a couple fingerguns at Artaghh! Still smiling, of course.

"And just say when! It's fun to teach that sort of thing, even if it's pretty hard to do at first." And then she remembers something regarding the bald male.

Something quite... Important.

"What was your name again, though?"
(Canna)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:38] Sophia shrugs, looking down at her feet before looking back up in his purple eyes.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:38] Sophia Song says, "You said I could stay with you."
[17:38] He sits on the bench another book in hand one that seems to be more focused on the element and nature of lightning. In nature it caused havoc by being able to meld and bend electrical forces together in a flash of power.

As he read further he understood more of how Magic recreates the natural situation that creates lightning only this time in a more controlled fashion being able to manipulate and sustain itself depending on the ability of the magi using it.

Although the most powerful variations of lightning seem to be influenced by either the occult or exorcism magics it seemed. As he peered towards the cover of his book he glanced towards the man who seemed to be speaking towards him.

" Indeed I've studied what I could find about Azrael. I read through a few religious tomes and history books that mentioned his name as well. The Librarian was quite helpful in getting me the proper research material. It wasn't that difficult to take in."
(Larc)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:38] Yawen-An Zhenlin says, "That you did"
[17:39] Amelie Vishkar says, "I'm back."
[17:39] Artaghh says, "Welcome back."
[17:39] Canna asks, "Hey! How did it go?"
[17:39] Canna asks, "Meet any ominous guys this time?"
[17:39] Amelie Vishkar says, "Found a group of people."
[17:40] Amelie Vishkar says, "One was a vampire, so it was okay."
[17:40] Artaghh says, "Tha' sounds neat."
[17:40] Sophia 's bright green eyes fall on and follows Amelie's movement. The girl didn't look much older than she was, but carried herself with a curious confidence.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:41] Landry copied him with the rolling of his shoulders, putting his journal down on top of a couple other books he'd borrowed from the research station.

"Well, my manners have escaped me for too long." he said, extending a well kept hand before bowing himself slightly. "Landry, Landry Geenz."

He introduced himself with a smile, his girlish expression hardly ever faltering amongst the rest of his outward appearance.
(Landry Geenz)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:43] Amelie's eyes slowly trailed over to Sophia, settling on the girl. She had lilac eyes, and despite having slightly sharper features - though with round, childish cheeks - and pitch black hair, she had quite a striking resemblance to Alastor. Her gaze was harsh and intense, but not hostile; a broadsword was attached to her leather belt, just barely visible under her white cloak.

A small nod of acknowledgement was given to her fellow Oscuri before she looked back at Canna.
(Amelie Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:43] Artaghh asks, "Me name?"
[17:44] Artaghh says, "Artaghh."
[17:45] Israa curls up the tattered scroll in his hand and carefully sets it in between his thighs, offering a shining grin to Landry as they introduce themselves. Israa nods his head, bowing it for just a moment in greeting, before reaching his rough right hand forward.

He takes Landry's hand and gives it a firm squeeze and a shake, then his thumb rubs over the presumably smooth, pale flesh.

"My name is Israa!" The sarradin excitedly announces, a tinge of over-eager joy in his voice at the introduction. He lets Landry's hand go as he brings his grass-stained knees back up to his chest, resting his chin in between them as he stares across at Landry with his ever-glancing, ever searching steel eyes. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"

(Israa Farhat)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:47] Artaghh says, "Folks call me Arty or Art, sometimes they call me stupid. Either works."
[17:47] The chucklesome comment causes light laughter to escape the tan man, once again. He can't deny that the ookami is awfully witty. "You will never see me in a dress, that I'm sure of.."

After, he looks back to Larc. His eyebrows furrow as if doubting the young boy, though he says nothing for the meantime. Instead his eyes look over them, sizing them up. Hm.

"Simply knowing of the Morning Lord won't grant you access into the army. You must be willing to serve his cause...our cause. We do not need those with loose will, only those with strong resolve. Are you someone that will suffice?"

Fethi then takes a look to Artagh. "Artagh, what do you think of the boy?"
(Fethi)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:47] Sophia 's bright-green eyes held Amelie's gaze with a strong pride showing from within. She was small, thin, and unkempt. It looked like it had been some time since she had a proper bath or a full belly. Her reddish-brown hair was an tangled mess. However, she was draped in a fine dress that looked new. She had bought it as soon as she had gotten off the boat, but had yet to clean up or eat. That weariness was clear in her face, despite the pride it displayed. She nodded, then looked back to Alastor, waiting for him to show her the way to her new home.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:48] Vee says, "I have a letter, for Arthur Rowan."
[17:49] Artagh would chew on his corn cob pipe as he looked over the lad, gauging him with the depths of his common brown eyes as he looked the potential soldier up and down over his shoulder before nodding firmly. "Nae much yet, bu' he's got the righ' look. Definite potential."
(Artaghh)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:50] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Alright."
[17:50] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Come with me."
[17:51] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "This will soon be your room -- We'll just need to redecorate."
[17:51] Sophia looks aroung the house with her jaw hanging slightly open in awe.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:51] Sophia Song asks, "M... My own room?"
[17:51] Sophia Song says, "I've... never had my own room."
[17:51] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Well."
[17:51] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "When we get a bed and something else in here, it's gonna be yours."
[17:52] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "I'm going to have to talk to Franziska about it, but hey."
[17:53] Sophia Song asks, "Franziska?"
[17:54] Sophia was filled with emotion but did her best to keep it from spilling out. She looked around the room as she walked along the walls, feeling them with a hand.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:56] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Franziska, yes."
[17:56] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "My... Companion."
[17:56] Sophia smiles and nods.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:56] Sophia Song says, "Franziska. I hope she likes me."
[17:57] Sophia Song asks, "That girl that looked like you. She looked my age. Is she... your daughter?"
[17:58] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "My sister."
[18:04] Her hand rose to deliver a single pat to Canna's shoulder- a sharp and quick movement. Perhaps it was intended to be something friendly, but generally it comes off as weird. Despite that, even as she did and as her hand dropped, her stare remained set upon Najin, unwavering- unblinking even.

"Good. Come."

It doesn't seem like the young Oscuri speaks a whole much- more often than not just giving short sentences, straight to the point. Unless she was angry, that is, such as it had been displayed before.

Without waiting for a response to her come, Amelie turned around on her heels and started walking through the beach, towards the fenced house nearby.
(Amelie Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:04] Canna exclaims, "Have fun, Amelie, mmhm!"
[18:11] Approaching her house's bench, Amelie unstrapped the broadsword from her leather belt, leaning the sheathed blade on her lap as she took as seat, crossing her left leg over the right one and leaning both of her hands over her lap. Shifting her lilac eyes to the kitsune, that harsh and intense stare was all over it again- and though a regular stranger could mistake it for hostility, there was none. Hostility is what she had displayed to that other guy..

There was, indeed, a very clear difference between her intensity and the outright hostility she had displayed. Someone who truly saw her hostile would be able to tell the difference right away, even if the intensity could be a little unsettling or discomforting.

"Let's start with Creation" she spoke rapidly, her unwavering gaze now relaxing a little as her lilac eyes shifted forward, staring at the trees ahead of them instead of directly at the kitsune. A single hand rose to lean her head upon it, her index finger trailing over the many burning lines of the vibrant green shade of rieka she had.

"Kraus Eternia - also called the Creator - was an Archangel. He created this world, Eternia, and many Divine Spirits helped shape it. The Dragons, as well as Ixchel, Jiuweihu, and others" a small wave with her free hand was offered, dismissively, as if the subject wasn't particularly important- she was just brushing over it.

"But the Creator died when he made this world. And the world was left terribly flawed as a result of that- in fact, some flaws were even planned. Mortality, for example. People die. There's no way around it, they just die. Murdered, old age, doesn't matter. Death is a constant."

As to not overwhelm Najin, perhaps, she glanced towards his direction, as if to see if the kitsune was keeping up with the story, making a short pause.
(Amelie Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:13] Cygnus looks and waves at Sophia, he just looks like he was looking for something to do at this point.
(Cygnus X. Sinclair)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:23] Hostility was an emotion Najin was very well in tune with. He had to be, ready to detect it so that he was ready to flee. It was how he survived, living as he did with his brother. Thus, he knew the difference between the way she stared at him now and the way she'd been with the redhead, though it didn't ease him much. Dawn folk were a tricky bunch, he'd learned. Some were simple and pleasant, but others saw his neutrality and preyed upon his fear because of it. He was naturally uneasy around most, and moreso around Dawn.

When he sat, he did so on the edge of his seat. He didn't quite trust her enough just yet, but he was giving her the benefit of the doubt. Listening to each word, grabbing what he could from the lesson that would sate not only his interest, but his brothers too as he attempted a butchered retelling of the story.

Kraus Eternia. It wasn't a name he knew or recognized, but it seemed to be a vital one. No.. no he did know it, didn't he? Vague, but he remembered his mother mentioning it once. She never did like to speak of gods or deities of any kind, but he'd wormed that one name from her before. These others, though, were completely strange to him. Dragon names, divine spirits...

He was leaning forward now, absolutely fixated. A god that made the world... with flaws? What did flaws mean? He tilted his head, frowned, flattened his ears. Flaws, death... "Flaw is..." he paused to think as he slipped into the moment, invited by her glance to question what he didn't understand, or at least some of it. "Is bad thing... is like flaw in weapon, in metal, yes?"
(Najin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:30] "Flaw is a bad thing" the young Oscuri gave a sharp nod at the kitsune, her gaze once more trailing forward- perhaps as to not unsettle him, or perhaps because staring at him throughout the whole story would be uncomfortable for them both. The harshness to her gaze was still present, but at least it was directed at the trees in front of them.

"Death is the cause for grief- grief is, more often than not, the cause of wars, when loved ones die, murdered. Taken away from us."

A frown was given at that, with Amelie trailing her bandaged index finger over one of the lines of vibrant green rieka over her cheek, once more resting her hands over her lap.

"Sickness, hunger, thirst, murder, old age.. death comes to us all in numbers. We grieve, we try to overcome the loss of those close to us.

When Eternia was shaped, many angels followed Kraus Eternia. Azrael was one of them- the most compassionate of all angels. And he heard our grieves, our sorrows, and he wanted to help. To fix the imperfection of this world, and to soothe our grief."

Though the young Oscuri was usually tight lipped and delivered short sentences, it seems that this story, in particular, is extremely special for her. As Canna had said, she was one of those blessed by Azrael himself, as attested by the burning lines of rieka over her face, her body, even the hands.

"But when he sought to do that, the angels opposed him. Because he was trying to fix Eternia- because he was going against what the dead Creator wanted."
(Amelie Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:30] Gaerik asks, "What was that earlier, Djura?"
[18:30] Gaerik asks, "Did the boy got everything he wanted to know?"
[18:31] Gaerik says, "I've never him that one before."
[18:35] Gaerik looks at Remy. Wouldn't it be the voice, he'd never recognize the drakanite -- though the hair was familiar for him.
(Gaerik)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:35] Though her gaze directed forward, his never shifted. She spoke of death, and he heard. Recognition, an old buried pain stirred at words he recognized and some he didn't. Oh, he knew plenty about the loss of loved ones, and there was a lowering of his ears the signified that pain he'd buried well, even if his facial expression didn't shift much.

Azrael, one of the angels? So he started as an angel of this... god, this creator. He didn't know at all what compassionate meant, but he understood this sentiment, this 'wanting to help'. He tilted his head, listening, his ears flicked forward, highly attentive of every word that fell. An angel tried to fix this flaw, and the other angels opposed it. What did oppose mean? He could guess enough from the tone of the story at least.

One angel wanted to do good, even if it was not part of the original design. And they opposed it? He resisted the urge to scoff, feeling far too similar. Or maybe not. Still, he found some small ties to himself, his desire to simply act in peace, a neutral party, helping those that were not so cruel and callous with no interest in their wars, yet faced so often with these hard-minded fellows who threatened him for it?

Not a word was spoken, but there was a shift in his expression as the Kitsune was drawn deeper into the story.
(Najin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:39] Mona yawns into an open hand.
(Mona Grauhimmel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:42] Sophia smiles down at Cygnus, waving at him.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:42] Sophia Song exclaims, "I'll come right down!"
[18:42] Cygnus X. Sinclair exclaims, "Alright!"
[18:43] Sophia knocks on the door.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:43] Sophia Song asks, "Can you... ummm... Let me out?"
[18:45] Sophia comes back to the railing, grasping it with both hands and leaning over it to smile down at Cygnus.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:46] Sophia Song says, "I... uh... got locked inside."
[18:46] Cygnus shakes his head, "Oh boy, hold on."
(Cygnus X. Sinclair)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:46] Amelie Vishkar says, "It's unlocked now, go ahead."
[18:47] Sophia leans over, watching him. She then turns and disappears over the ledge.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:47] Sophia waves at Amelie.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:47] Sophia Song exclaims, "Thank you!"
[18:47] Sophia Song says, "I'll be right down."
[18:48] Sophia looks at Amelie and nods her head, smiling.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:48] Sophia Song says, "Thank you. I, got distracted in my new room."
[18:48] Sophia Song says, "I see you are busy, but... I'm Sophia."
[18:50] Sophia goes to step away, her gaze lingering on Amelie for a moment as she starts to walk away.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:50] Sophia Song asks, "I'll... see you around?"
[18:50] Cygnus X. Sinclair asks, "Something wrong?"
[18:50] A tilt of his head again. Necromancy. It wasn't a word he knew, surprisingly, but his knowledge of the world had a very narrow scope. It was why he was so curious as to her words, and also so open to them. There was much she said, big words he couldn't grasp, but he followed what he could. Not perfect, but to heal death.

A war over different ideas. That was all war was, wasn't it? He looked forward finally, but the shift of his ears were still following, the blankness of his expression clear that he knew nothing about this war at all. Now, back again his gaze was, if only to study the Oscuri lines. Azrael's chosen. The name made sense now.

He didn't seem to even notice Cygnus at first. He was completely focused on what he was learning. The war lost... something bad happened to their Azrael, and now they wanted to bring him back? He thought about this, then slowly nodded. It was rather sad, and he began to understand a little of theOscuri's ambition, of the ambition of Dawn. It didn't excuse the treatment he'd been under, but he understood a little more now.

"Is wish to bring back this... Azaz...Azroll…" He stumbled over the name awkwardly, no doubt something he did with all new, confusing names. "Am know little more now...Hm... Is sound... much hard life... want this very much, but is not easy to bring back?" As he stared at her once more, there was a sort of sympathy hinted in his eyes. Though he spoke roughly, and acted like a wild beast most times, he wasn't an unkind person at all, and had a strong sense of empathy for others once he learned they were safe enough.
(Najin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:50] Sophia shakes her head.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:50] Cygnus X. Sinclair says, "Okay."
[18:51] Cygnus X. Sinclair whispers: Hey, sis.
[18:51] Yuki Yaban asks, "Excuse me sir?"
[18:51] Sophia reaches out to rub Cygnus once down his arm. She wanted to hug him, but didn't. She just smiled.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:51] Sophia Song whispers: Hi.
[18:51] Cygnus X. Sinclair whispers: You okay?
[18:51] Sophia nods.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:51] Sophia Song whispers: I think so. I want to see papa, Rose, and Kyrina.
[18:51] Cygnus X. Sinclair whispers: Well, I think I can get that done.
[18:52] Sophia Song whispers: I... I need to tell Alastor I will be back.
[18:52] Cygnus X. Sinclair whispers: Not now, I have to make sure they are around.
[18:52] Sophia Song whispers: Ok.
[18:53] Sophia sighs and nods, her green eyes looking to the bench and then back to Cygnus. She looked content, but in bad need of food and a bath.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:53] Cygnus X. Sinclair whispers: Look like you should take a bath soon.
[18:53] "It's very difficult" she spoke with a hint of sadness on her tone, but just a hint, her expression not changing from its harshness at all. With a small sigh, the young Oscuri rose from her seat, holding her sheathed broadsword and strapping it to her leather belt once more. As she did, she spoke directed at the kitsune,

"Many oppose us still. Worshippers of the angels of old- countless times, we've been to war against them, as they don't want to let us research the Holy Art of Necromancy. They claim it's not what the world is meant to be like."

A small tap was given to the sword's hilt once it was properly attached to her leather belt, with Amelie resting her right hand over it.

"That is why we come off as hostile, sometimes. Our people have been slaughtered many times over- senseless wars, persecution.It's what's always happened to us. What happens to us still."

She was about to say something else, perhaps, before her lilac eyes slowly trailed over to Sophia with a frown.

"I'm sorry, did you just say your new room?"
(Amelie Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:00] Her bright green eyes led a turn of her head to look at Amelie, her whole body soon following as she faced the girl on the other side of the fence. She stepped forward and reached out to hold it.

Nodding, she said, "Yes. Alastor has taken me in. I am a part of the legion now. I can't wait to get started. There is so much to do."

Were it not for her being so young, thin and unkempt, she might also hold an intensity in her posture, but as it were she could only display the pride she felt within as she stood up straight, looking Amelie levely in her lilac eyes.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:01] Yuki Yaban says, "Oi."
[19:02] The young Oscuri forgot about her previous conversation with the kitsune entirely at the sign of such news- a new room. Alastor had taken her in. For a few seconds, Amelie just stared at Sophia completely blankfaced, her right hand resting over the broadsword's hilt still, until a small frown of displeasure came.

That frown only deepend more, the more that Sophia talked, and the young Oscuri's lilac eyes slowly trailed over the girl's whole figure; the unkempt her, the frail appearance, only to be shot back at the girl's eyes. An unwavering, harsh and intense glare at her, with that frown deepening more by the second, and only just beginning to turn hostile.

"What."
(Amelie Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:04] He seemed to take his time, but offered no words in response. Amelie had given him a lot to digest, and there would need to be time to do so. Time he didn't yet have, as a stranger approached. He was on his feet at a moments notice, narrowing his eyes with a reflexive suspicion towards the horned stranger, though his posture was focused entirely on defensiveness. Ears slightly back, he seemed to settle a very sharp, analytical gaze upon Yuki, quiet for a while before he grunted and tilted his head, acknowledging the stranger, waiting for whatever it was they wanted to say.
(Najin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:04] Her grip on the fence tightened as she leaned forward over it, her gaze unbroken.

"Do I need to say it again?"
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:06] Yuki stared blankly as he didn't get a response from the man but he saw the eye contact as he'd tilt his head in confusion.

"Do you not speak?"

He'd only await some sort of response as he'd seem very relaxed.
(Yuki Yaban)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:07] The stare, the question. He frowned, but seemed to ignore it. When he spoke, there was a roughness to his tone that betrayed why he spoke so little, his lacking grasp on language and basic communication obvious.

"What want?"
(Najin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:08] Yuki Yaban asks, "Do you know how to enchant?"
[19:09] Najin says, "...Yes."
[19:09] Yuki Yaban asks, "Could you enchant my cheap sword?"
[19:10] "Back off before I break your nose."

Amelie didn't say that was a particularly air of threat, nor did she seem to want to scare Sophia- at least not yet. It was an affirmation, pure and simple, no different as stating a fact such as saying that the water was wet. She said it with the most blank tone as it could possibly be.

"Who the fuck are you."
(Amelie Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:11] Yuki would draw his Gladius as he'd hold it out to the an to examine.

"It's only temporary but I need it to be stronger."

Yuki would only look at the man with a plain look as he'd await his response.
(Yuki Yaban)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:11] Najin says, "...What kind is want? Can make stronger all magic, sharper, faster... Can make exact magic strong, like fire, water, earth.... "
[19:11] Yuki Yaban asks, "Can you do a Glyph?"
[19:11] As he spoke, he'd shift an uneasy glance towards the group beside him, sharing a look with Cygnos complete with a raised brow, then turning back to accept the weapon for inspection while he waited for an answer.
(Najin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:12] Najin asks, "Yes. What kind?"
[19:12] Najin says, "Glyph is not work on weapon... "
[19:12] Najin says, "Can do rune for weapon, but is need know what is wanting."
[19:13] Yuki Yaban says, "Lightning."
[19:14] Franziska Beck says, "Oh great."
[19:14] Franziska Beck says, "A crowd of people in my yard. What is happening"
[19:15] Her grip on the fence remained tight, but she did lean back slightly. She held Amelie's intense gaze unbroken still, and said, I introduced myself to you when you let me out of the house. Were you not paying attention?"

She did not expect to be met with hostility, but it did not deter her. She did not crumble to it, despite her hunger and frailty.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:17] Gaerik just stands behind Franziska silent. This was none of his business, though he saw Alastor's sister at the garden.
(Gaerik)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:17] Gaerik says, "..."
[19:17] "Oh that's rich."

The grip upon the sword tightened as her lilac colour over the eyes was slowly replaced by the vibrant shade of the green, burning rieka. Glowing strongly, the lines over her face and hands also flared up as Amelie stared at Sophie, slowly walking around the fence towards the girl, shattering the concept of personal space as she reached close enough for their noses to almost touch.

"Oh that's really rich."
(Amelie Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:18] A momentary nod. The task he wanted was draining, exhausting, but easy enough. No materials were required, only his own energy. Fortunately for Yuki, he'd rested just enough for such a task. He placed the weapon down, ignoring his surroundings, the arguments, the hostility, the approaching woman. He simply focused on the mana gathering into his palms as he rubbed them together, light shocks dancing around the digits.

Once he felt satisfied with the charge of energy, he knelt, his finger tips carving into the metals surface. Sparks and arcs of electricity danced over the metal and his arm, but he didn't seem to mind them at all. Slowly, steadily, and with a surprisingly steady hand for someone who couldn't write a single word in common, or read it for that matter, he began to mark up the weapon with care.

Once it was complete, he'd motion quickly for the boy to take it, looking just about ready to collapse. Despite their rough approach, he'd done the best possible job he could on the weapon, and had asked for no payment in return.
(Najin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:19] Franziska Beck says, "Amelie."
[19:19] Yuki would bow showing respect as he'd turn to finally see what the commotion was as he'd sigh at the scene.
(Yuki Yaban)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:19] Franziska Beck says, "Try not to break the fence with whatever you're about to do. That wood is more expenive than it looks."
[19:22] Sophia's eyes were naturally green, yet they too flaired as the girl's nose came to within inches of her own. She had no doubt that if it came to it, she would take a beating, but it was a beat she were preparred to take. She were too proud to back down to something as simple as jealousy. In truth, that the older girl saw her as a potential threat made her feel good, despite how the ends of her fist might make her feel in a few moments.

The faint thin green lines along her arms and neck began to glow brighter. She held her ground, and smiled.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:23] Yuki would take a step closer as he saw the two and herd how it started he'd just ask a question.

"Is all this really necessary?"
(Yuki Yaban)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:24] Najin says, "<There go dead man...>"
[19:27] "You stay out of this."

Her harsh words were delivered to Yuki, though she didn't dignify a glance towards him, staring at Sophia still. If anything, the smile made her get even more angry- and someone else stepping in did, too. The rieka crackled around the girl's left hand as she slowly unsheathed the broadsword, her lips spreading with a vicious grin in response to Sophia's smile.

Lines of vibrant green rieka were painted over the tightly gripped blade, burning over the edge as lightning sparked around the little Oscuri, spreading the faint scent of ozone through the air. A couple of seconds of silence went by as the small girl ran lightning over the blade, sparking over the mythril along with the rieka.

Silent. Until..

A thunder echoed as Amelie moved her head forward towards Sophia, aiming for a headbutt against the other Oscuri's nose- an attempt to break it. Surely, Sophia could resist that action if she wanted . . though sign of resistance would spark even more anger in Amelie, and that'd escalate even further from there, as the broadsword attests.
(Amelie Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:37] The power Amelie displayed along her drawn sword and with the crackle of her lightning did nothing to wipe away the smile that painted Sophia's face. She continued to hold her ground, standing straight and proud. She had no weapons. All she had were a few coins and the new dress draped over her unwashed, unkempt body. A hunger that made her stomach growl. A family that she found out was still mostly alive. A man that took her in and promised to teach her. Memories of a time past long ago.

Despite the intensity of the rieka in her eyes and glowing along her skin, she kept her hands and her sides. Alsator had already told her that Amelie was his sister, and Sophia had no intention of quarreling with her. She didn't believe that the older girl would kill her, but she did believe that she would learn something today that would serve her well in years to come.

As Amelie's head slammed into her face, she yelped in pain, closing her eyes as her head recoiled from the blow. Yet, through the pain, she stood her ground. She straightened and opened her eyes, looking levelly back into Amelie's. As blood spilled down over her lips, they curled back into a smile. A broader, more toothy one.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:39] All the while, the exhausted Kitsune observed from where he had decided to rest. The harsh form of the bench against his back kept him alert, ears flicked towards the situation. He only knew Cygnus out of the group, at least well enough to consider important. The rest were strangers, albeit some he'd come to know better. Still, it was not his place to involve, when even the adults that lived here seemed to care little for the interaction. He too simply observed, wary, and making a mental note about being cautious around the green eyed informant that now seemed determined to cave a girls face in with the sheer force of her forehead. Like some sort of... ram.
(Najin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:40] Yuki looked at the two as it was an intense scene between two females as any mans instincts would go along with Amelie's warning Yuki wanted to stay silent but seeing the blood coming out the nose of the girl something would blurt out.

"Just stop. She's obviously out of your league... You have nothing to prove; your just harming yourself in the end no one here is going to baby you. They'll just watch as she teaches you why she can stand tall like that."

Yuki would sigh as he hoped the message would get through to Sophia.
(Yuki Yaban)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:43] Najin says, "<Hm.. is much bully, and no-one do thing to help? City have problem, even if am pity for Azzyroll...>"
[19:43] He starts on a patrol.

The city is awfully quiet these days, but that doesn't mean nothing. It's important for him to make sure that the peace is kept. He walks around different streets of the city.

And then are the metal soles of his armor heard against the cobblestone beneath him. His eyes travel to the group of youths-- narrowing. Judging by the looks of one with blood and the others gathered around mischeviously..

They're up to no good, obviously.

Fethi stops at the corner of where two nearby roads cross, staring at the lot. Assessing the situation from afar.
(Fethi)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:45] Cygnus looks to the two girls now in a conflict, he didn't really stop Sophia and Amelie because there was literally no stopping this. They quite obviously were spurring each other on, of course he'd look to Yuki and kind of wondered if the believed it'd end that easily. Of course, Cygnus knew they could quite literally beat each other to death but neither were too stupid to do such in the city for literally no reason... right?

He sighed, scratching the back of his head in bystander and looks to Najin who was likely going to be just as much of a bystander. He was fine with Sophia showing her balls right now, she wasn't one to back down. No oscuri was, right? He can't be sure though, he isn't that knowledgeable on them- even with his studies.
(Cygnus X. Sinclair)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:49] "Trash."

A single word, nearly spat by the Oscuri as she looked that Sophia didn't offer any resistance to the head smashing against her nose. The grip over the broadsword lessened a little, with the burning lines of rieka over the edge receding, as well as the lightning- it seemed she got a little less hostile, perhaps, though the vibrant green was still all over her eyes.

She wasn't less hostile, just less prone to use the blade.

Her hand followed. Clenched to a fist, her free hand - the right one - would accelerate towards Sophia's gut, with a punch that sparked lightning around it; although it wasn't something that'd cause any serious, lasting damage, it was sure to hurt, between Amelie's strength and the burst of lightning that would spark from it.

Once more, Sophia could resist it, if she wanted to- though that was sure to spark a more violent reaction between them both.

"You'll stay away from my room.

You won't call yourself a Vishkar until you're worthy.

Garbage."
(Amelie Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:49] Annie asks, "Replacing me already Amelie?"
[19:52] Gaerik says, "..."
[19:53] Gaerik notices Amelie's eyes were green..?
(Gaerik)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:55] Cygnus' stare... what did he expect the Kitsune to do? This wasn't his home, he knew none of these people well enough. As much as the fight seemed to sour the stomach of most, he saw it for what it was: an assertion of dominance. His brother and him, they had done similar, though less cruelly when raised. Had his brother been an outsider that had come into his home at their age, he might have acted the same. Thus, he said nothing, did nothing, only watched. It was obvious who the alpha of the pair was, and he hoped the stubbornness of the other girl would break, lest Amelie take such a thing too far.
(Najin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:57] Djura was peacefully running around the streets of Dawn until a peculiar scene was found. Once again, Amelie Vishkar is threatening or insulting someone, it's getting really common nowadays.

He'd try to stop that thing no matter the circumstances, but the fact she's bullying another Oscuri makes him extremely disappointed, it can be seen through his black features.

If Amelie were using mere words to hurt the other Oscuri, it wouldn't be a big problem, but it's cruelty, and cruelty between similar people. ". . . What are ya doin'?" He said as he approached, folding his arms- a hint of anger appears in his expression.

"Honestly, yer brother sheltered her 'cuz she's an Oscuri like ya, there's no need to bully her. There's no excuse anymore, ya aren't protected 'cuz yer brotheris important, and ya are an Oscuri, but it doesn't mean ya need to use violence EVERY TIME ya want."

Then, a step is taken towards Amelie Vishkar, near enough to touch her, a single hand is moved towards her shoulder, it's an attempt to draw her attention.
(Djura)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:58] Najin says, "<More dead man walk.>"
[20:01] Her smile and gaze were unbroken until the moment Amelie's fist found her gut, doubling her over as her breath left her body in a sharp gasp. This one buckled her knees and she fell to the ground, struggling for air as her hands instinctively came to cradle where the fist had impacted her. Tears dripped from her eyes from the pain and effort to regain her breath, but their glowing and that of the lines along her skin only grew brighter.

She rolled over and brought her palms to the ground, pushing herself up to all fours and coughing. Blood dripped from her face down onto the cobblestone road below her. As she regained her breath, she began to laugh.

(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:03] Gaerik frowns at the scene. So they come out to Amelie's temper driving them into a fight? And she had just punched another oscuri..? As he was about to step in, he sees Franziska doing it first. Whichever contact he felt he had with the oscuri girl, Franziska was certainly more close to her.
(Gaerik)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:03] Gaerik says, "..."
[20:06] The knight was quick to approach the scene with some level of annoyance. Her staff was quick to place its head between the two Oscuri girl, as if forcing a separation.

"Enough. This is no way Oscuri should treat eachother. Amelie. This is no way a member of my family will treat another of Dawn. I am disappointed in you."

The witch let out a shout, as a pulse of occultic heat pulsed off her form. The crackles of Shadowflame laced her body in a quick cyclone, showing just how upset, and annoyed she was with this entire scenario. There was an obvious sense of Malevolence, as her dark powers ebbed off her form. Likely upsetting the stomach and discomforting any potential nearby lower-tier light magi.

"You two are going to explain what happened. Anyone who was not involved, keep your mouth shut." She'd command. Taking control of the scenario. Especially since all she wanted to do was cuddle up with her toddler daughter and spend quality Mommy-daughter time.
(Franziska Beck)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:08] The knight has seen enough.

Fethi summons ice beneath him and winds that push him forward. The currents push him ahead as he glides on the ice, such that also forms to hold around his ankles. Despite the weight of his armor he quickly appears behind the anger filled oscuri.

He arrives just as a young neries lectures the girl, drawing their attention. A gaze is taken to them, nodding in approval of them steppin-..

Franziska steps in. Nevermind. He backs up.
(Fethi)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:09] Yuki yawns.
(Yuki Yaban)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:11] Cygnus just watched as Sophia gets hit in the gut, He places his hand on her and shakes his head. He looks completely calm but the boy couldn't help but feel a little worried about Sophia and the constant spurring on the violence, geez- Oscuri really indulged in this kind of shit huh? New to the place and already in trouble, he didn't envy her but he sure cared about her with good reason- her being his sister and all.

Then Franziska comes up and he moves his hands, a straight face as he looks to her and backs up with his hands up in a 'oh shit a bad ass.' kinda motion. Taking a step back and looking to all the others around there, slowly putting his hands down and just going back into a default standing like idling.
(Cygnus X. Sinclair)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:12] Annie walked to the Vishkar's residence to visit Amelie. As she approached there was yelling and a large crowd gathered in front of their house. From what she gathered it seemed like the girl she was yelling at was invited to live in her house.

Annie felt the urge to join in and pick on the girl as well. She was a kind person, if she got angry that was enough of a reason for Annie to take her side.

The Oscuri was a bit jealous of Sophia. Why did /she/ get invited anyways? She was glad to see that Amelie was against the decision.

Despite how badly she wanted to join in Annie decided to say nothing as she saw Franziska and Alastor exit their house.
(Annie)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:12] Alastor wasn't inside the house.
(Alastor G. Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:18] Alastor comes out of the house with a funnel.
(Alastor G. Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:18] Madelyn Lyngrave exclaims, "--Alastor, sir!"
[20:18] The vibrant shade of green from the burning rieka over her eyes was shot back at the Neries once she felt the hand touching her shoulders, listening to his words, her eyes widening slightly and her gaze becoming harsher, more intense. For a moment over there, it looked like she just might slap his hand..

..but no, her hand moved to sheath the broadsword once more. Though her eyes were still in that burning colour, the rieka still flared up, her breathing heavy- all the signs of hostility and anger were still there, she didn't move an inch of hostility towards Djura.

A Neries of the Dreamer, the Grey Church, still meant something to some people. Herself included.

"...Fine."

She was just about to storm back to her house- only for her to be met with flaring occultism and Franziska shouting at her. She was already angry, her rieka was already burning brightly as it could possibly be, and now people were shouting at her. With occultism.

. . .

Her teeth gritted, her lips parted to reveal them; if she made any more strength at that, it could really be unhealthy to the poor teeth. She shook slightly as she rose the burning eyes of rieka at the woman.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, Franziska. Get the FUCK out of my FACE."
(Amelie Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:19] Though he had not made any move to involve himself before, he would follow the lead of those that did now. Clearly, the law of alpha did not actually attribute here, and he'd been wrong to stay uninvolved. It was odd, but he didn't hesitate now that he was certain it was good to act. The rising shadows off the womans form, the dark powers.. he didn't need to be a light magi to be uncomfortable.

Moving, he was on his feet, still weakened but strong enough to move. A flicker of magic, and he'd leap with the lightness of a feather, over Gaerik, landing nimble and well balanced on the edge of the fence. He would reach down now, his arms falling over Sophie as he knelt, almost shielding her in a way, though that wasn't the intent.

From the ground under her feet, roots would rise, and surround her like a small chair. Between her and the fence, a strong base of roots would spread up between himself and the girl, and blue leaves would sprout from the branches. The tree was small, sized to surround and protect her, and taking a great deal of focus from him.

The leaves that fell were translucent, and as each one touched Sophia's skin, they would fade away, gradually easing her pain and stemming the flow of blood from her wounds, aggravating the cells to mend what it could faster. Not as perfect as the kind of heal a light magi might have, but the kitsune used his nature magic to its peak.

He seemed to ignore all else. The outburst, the firey tempers. He cared only for what he was doing, his expression focused.
(Najin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:20] Yuki Yaban says, "<...It was a tiny spark...Now its a bon fire...>"
[20:23] Pushing herself up, Sophia sits on her heels and tilts her head back. Blood still drips from her nose and chin where it had covered her face. It stained the front of her dress as her whole body shook with incessant laughter. She closed her glowing green eyes and held her arms out to either side of her body as she roared out.

She were hungry, dirty, poor and beaten, but she had much to be happy about today, and this was quite amusing to her.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:24] Cygnus X. Sinclair says, "Huh..."
[20:24] Yuki Yaban says, "<This girl is addicted to pain...."
[20:24] Cygnus X. Sinclair says, "<I think my sister is crazy....>"
[20:24] Najin says, "<Why am help crazy ones? So much trouble...>"
[20:24] Annie says, "<Admirable.>"
[20:25] As the blue leaves of Najin's tree fell onto her skin, brining her a soothing comfort, she stopped laughing but held her pose. She sucked in a deep breath through her mouth, and let it out as a sigh. The green lines on her skin started to fade, and the blood stopped flowing from her nose.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:26] Najin gave Cygnus a brief look as he was doing this. It was a 'questioning all my life choices right now' kind of look.
(Najin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:26] Yuki would be confused as he'd tilt his head the girl acted as though she wanted to stand her ground be she kept letting the girl hit her as he was wondering when she'd attempt to defend herself.

(Yuki Yaban)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:27] Cygnus gave him a look back and nods at Najin in a way to say, 'Me too.' He then looks back at Sophia wondering if she should move back or not.
(Cygnus X. Sinclair)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:28] A single hand is risen towards Franziska for a moment, before he simply picks up the funnel from the inside of his house. At the motion that happened in front of his house, he seemed to not care at first -- Until Amelie yelled back at her.

He knew what this was, and in a way, he sort of provoked it -- Almost by purpose, he got Amelie an adoptive sister! But nevertheless, he decided to simply start walking out further. He stayed watching the situation, at the yells directed at themselves...

Eyebrows furrowed down. A faint glimmer of green was seen -- Although this wasn't the most potent it would be able to become, it was quickly noticeable that the Eternal wasn't amused at this scene at all.

He moved between Amelie and Franziska, and with a single glare of Rieka given towards each one of them, and even one towards Sophia. Of course, he wasn't entirely maddened, but...

"DISMANTLE THIS SITUATION." It was an order, spoken out aloud. A glance was given to each one of them, Alastor speaking from the top of his lungs...

"I DON'T CARE WHAT STARTED. I DON'T CARE -WHO- STARTED IT. I DON'T CARE -WHY-. BUT YOU." He pointed towards Franziska, and then towards Amelie. "YOU." And then, at the end, at the laughing, bloodied girl. "AND YOU, ARE ALL IN TROUBLE."
(Alastor G. Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:28] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "GET. INSIDE. NOW."
[20:29] Najin says, "<Fewf... thought he point at me fore second...>"
[20:29] The Neries really thought everything would be fine until Franziska Beck appeared- his efforts seemed nothing, everything due to the arrival of Franziska. What seemed solved, just escalated now.

Still, there's no anger, but his disappointment grew even more due to the sight of an Oscuri disrespecting someone somewhat important to the town she needs to protect.

"Why do ya insist with that? She seemed okay, there was no need to say that in public, ya only made her angrier, ya. Especially 'cuz ya tried to calm someone... Using occultism."

At this point, he knows nobody will hear him, then he quickly glances around, seeing people merely watching, the crowd is already formed, for the Neries, there's no reason to keep that public- that discussion isn't what the Neries would call progress.

"... The situation should be kept in private, ya." He said, taking his leave.
(Djura)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:29] Fethi says, "< yikes >"
[20:30] Djura whispers something.
[20:30] Franziska Beck says, "My magic FLARED because of my own emotions."
[20:30] Madelyn Lyngrave whispers something.
[20:30] * You have been awarded 4 Roleplay Points! *
[20:31] Djura whispers something.
[20:31] Djura whispers something.
[20:31] Franziska Beck says, "I will be inside. I was just trying to defuse a situation of two children pointlessly beating eachother bloody right outside my own house."
[20:31] She opens her eyes and looks up at Cygnus, her smile still present. She rises and touches his shoulder, nodding to show reassurance that she would be ok. Turning to Najin, she nods her smile at him as a thank you.

Then she turns her bloody face to look at Alastor, and the smile finally falls flat. She nods that she understood, and cast her eyes to the ground in front of her feet as she marched herself into the house in silence.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:31] Fethi says, "...Nothing to see here, you all."
[20:32] Fethi says, "Leave from the Eternal's home."
[20:32] Annie asks, "Who's the fucker that put that tree there?"
[20:32] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "You heard Fethi."
[20:32] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "LEAVE."
[20:32] Yuki would yawn and stretch as he'd begin to turn his attention away as it seemed things finally stopped.
(Yuki Yaban)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:32] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "MY HOUSE ISN'T AN AMUSEMENT PARK."
[20:34] Ruhiel says, "Oof."
[20:34] Ruhiel asks, "What's happenin' here?"
[20:34] A look was given towards Fethi with a slight scowl, and then one towards Annie. Ignoring the girl otherwise, he would hop down, and begin to work on settling the tree below ground once more, as well as sealing up the earth so everything was back to the way it was. He seemed to at least have enough respect to do that much, despite the fact he was literally being screamed at.

With a scowl, he would turn away and head off back towards the square, feeling irritable, and questioning his own efforts.
(Najin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:34] Madelyn Lyngrave whispers something.
[20:34] Fethi says, "Plenty of things.."
[20:34] Fethi whispers something.
[20:34] Ruhiel says, "Oh, wonderful! I see a new Oscuri."
[20:35] Ruhiel whispers something.
[20:35] Fethi whispers something.
[20:35] Ruhiel whispers something.
[20:38] Annoyance, it was the primary emotion she felt. But the Pink-haired witch could help but to calm down. Even if t was just slightly. A hand had placed itself on her daughter who seemed to have come out upon hearing her mother's frustrated grumbling, only to curl up in her lap. It was often these small little acts of kindness from her little one that calmed her emotions. Especially when Alastor was the one to yell at her.

A shaky hand continued to pet through the purple hairs of the littlest Vishkar. "Mommy's not that mad, no need to worry, little one." She kept her eyes closed. Even as she heard the front door open and closed. Right now? She was just trying to keep calm.
(Franziska Beck)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:39] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Alright."
[20:39] Alastor G. Vishkar asks, "What the fuck happened?"
[20:40] Franziska Beck says, "I hard the sounds of a fight going on outside, so I went outside to investigate. And I saw these two girls at eachother's throats. "
[20:41] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Yes, yes. I want to know about THEM."
[20:42] Amelie stares at Alastor, but completely silent. The rieka is still flaring up about her, burning over her eyes, and her fists are clenched, shaking slightly- she's trying very, very hard to stay as tight lipped as she could. A very active effort.
(Amelie Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:59] Though her nose is no longer bleeding, blood still dripped slowly from her chin down to either hit the floor with an audible splat, or to stain the new dress she had just today purchased with most of what little coin she had. The dirty, unkempt girl looked up at Alastor, the frame of her green eyes showing embarrassment at having disappointed him so soon. Yet, at least for now, she to kept her mouth closed.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:04] Alastor seemed to not care a lot about how Franziska currently was, and instead, simply glared towards the two younger oscuris. Well, this was certainly an occasion that he attracted for himself. While others would probably find their own way to deal with this without being physical...

... Alastor wasn't some other person.

Hands moved to grab at their chins, thumb and index finger pressing slightly as he forced them to look at him. He leaned down slightly, and the furrowing eyebrows revealed a storm of purple hues underneath. After all, he was chosen Eternal for a reason.

And that reason was mercilessness. "I. Asked. WHAT. HAPPENED. Are you two going to stay quiet until I put you both in a single room and only allow you out after one has died or you both made your peace, or will you COOPERATE?"
(Alastor G. Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:10] She sucked in her breath through her mouth, still unable to breath through her probably broken nose. As he held her, she let it out with a little whimper. While Amelie's violence had failed to instil fear inside her, Alastor's threat got through.

Her words came out shrill and fast, "IgotlockedinsideandsheletmeoutsoIcouldtalktoCygnus. ItoldherIgotdistractedinmynewroomandtoldhermyname. SheaskedmemynameagainandIgotcockysoshebrokemynose."
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:11] Sophia face turns a slight shade of blue as she runs out of breath and she gasps, unable to talk anymore for a moment.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:13] Amelie kept staring at Alastor through the whole deal, letting Sophia speak first- though she barely understood a word off of it, which only further served to make her frown more, shifting her gaze towards the other young Oscuri, even as her face had been forced to remain facing towards Alastor.

"You pathetic gehennan trash. Can't you even TALK?"

Well, she didn't exactly answer what Alastor had asked, but that phrase might have gotten exactly what happened just right. Her breathing was still hard, heavy as she clenched her fists, trying as much as she could not to scream bloody murder. So far, she had been mildly successful.

So far.
(Amelie Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:24] "Let me tell you how this will go on, then." Meticulously, he continued to speak, each word seemingly spoken with almost too much calm. Rieka was surging through his eyes, so obviously... He wasn't calm at all.

"We don't get cocky here in this family. There is a CLEAR definition of hierarchy." Releasing both of their faces, he continued to explain. Right hand first rose up, above both of their eye level. "This is me. I stay here." And then, his hand lowered. "And here are other Vishkar. You may not be part of the family, but I'm allowing you to be a guest in it -- And if you're not trying to be on the same level, then you're obviously BELOW. Do you UNDERSTAND, Sophia? And more than that, you are under MY house, under MY domain in MY settlement now, and I don't care for unpredicted stubbornness."

And then, he turned towards Amelie. "And the same goes to YOU, Amelie. If I say she's our guest, SHE IS. If I say she is a greater god, SHE IS. I have to ask, Sister. When did your big brother ever go wrong?" He asked, quirking an eyebrow. "So if I say you both have to be respectful with each other because I'm going to make her not be a Traitor-looking, what is it that you BOTH have to do?" He asked again, perhaps making sure they both understood clearly what he meant.
(Alastor G. Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:28] Oh.

Something seems to have clicked on Amelie's mind throughout the whole speech- a single thing, something that Alastor said that made everything crystal clear to her. What exactly that was would be anyone's guess; yet the burning rieka over her eyes receded, giving way to the lilac colour as her hands slowly opened, relaxing once more. A deep breath was taken as the young Oscuri gave a small nod to Alastor.

"Okay."

Once more, she had returned to her short sentences self. Though she still looked distant, a little harsh and hostile, she wasn't in a burning rage nigh out of control- at least for now; whatever it is that Alastor had said over the speech seems to have worked wonders to calm her down, addressing the root of the problem.
(Amelie Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:36] She nodded, her bottom, blood covered lip sticking out a little as she showed that she understood. Her eyes fell to the floor as he turned his attention to Amelie, and she turned to her thoughts. There was much for her to be happy about in this day. She would not let this get her down. There was a lesson in it, as she had hoped, but it was certainly not at all what she had expected.

Looking back up at Alastor, she answered his question. "Not get cocky. I'm below the family in your house. I'm sorry, Sir Alastor."

She brought her hands together in front of her waist and began to writhe them together again. She just wanted some food, and she needed a bath.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:49] After they were done, Alastor seemed to slowly cool down again. One hand went to his forehead, a faint, red cloth wiping it from his sweat. He seemed to take a deep breath, before nodding in Sophia's direction. "The thing about it is that we do not get cocky here because, while you live with us, you're part of the family. You're to be treated like one -- And you're to behave like one. But remember the hierarchy."

"I'm above. You two -- You're at the same level for as long as I have you in that room." He says, before another sigh. And then, he waved a dismissive hand. "And speaking about that room... You're coming with me. I'm going to show you how it looks, so if you want, we'll put some extra decoration in it."

Alastor then started moving, but moved in closer and whispered something at Amelie's ear.
(Alastor G. Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:49] Alastor G. Vishkar whispers something.
[21:50] Amelie Vishkar says, ". . ."
[21:56] Following him into the room, she stood near him as she looked over the decorations and furniture. She had for so long lived in a cave that she had almost forgotten what living in a proper home was like. Yet, even back at the Sinclair manor when she was seven, she never had a room all to herself. Even then she had to share it with all the other children.

Standing here now, dirty, hungry, frail and with a broken nose, Sophia Song felt like royalty. She felt a tightness in her chest as she stepped further into the space, reaching out to run her fingers over the soft linens that covered the bed. They were so nice.

It finally got to her. She were overwhelmed, and she started to cry, covering her face with both hands as she sat down on the floor.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:03] Alastor, in fact, moves in closer. One hand pats at her back, while the other one moves towards the broken nose. Holy magic slowly envelops the nostrils, turning it into a powerful bright yellow. The Oscuri was a wielder of the holy arts as well, it seemed.

It should at least relieve some of the pain, although not doing much to heal at all. In fact, it would perhaps help heal the bleeding, even if slightly so.

"There, there. I know I'm a great person -- This is your room. The servants will sometimes swap your washbasin, and... Well, feel free to use it. As soon as you're done here, I'll give you a key to the house."
(Alastor G. Vishkar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:07] She looked up to him, her wet green eyes showing some relief while his holy magic envelops her nose. She smiled and her sobs turned to a chuckle at his words. She nodded, and just asked one question after saying, "Thank you, Sir Alastor, for everything. I will do well by you, for Azrael. For the future."

"My brothers and sisters. I want to find them, and make sure they stay safe. Will you help me?"
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:09] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "... Perhaps."
[22:09] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Oscuris are brothers and sisters."
[22:09] Sophia lets out a soft sigh, nodding. It was enough for her, for now.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:09] Sophia Song says, "Thank you, brother."
[22:09] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "It is alright."
[22:09] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Glory to Azrael."
[22:09] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Also."
[22:09] Sophia Song says, "Glory to Azreal."
[22:09] {Item} You picked up Agility X. Dropped by Alastor G. Vishkar. .
[22:09] {Item} You picked up Agility X. Dropped by Alastor G. Vishkar. .
[22:10] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Your key."
[22:11] {Item} You picked up Vishkar Manor Key. Dropped by Alastor G. Vishkar. .
[22:23] Sophia stepped to the bedroom door, and turned the lock. She turned around and pressed her back into the door, looking over her room as she let out a soft sigh.

Walking across the room, she pushed the shoulders of her dress off and let it fall to her waist. With a wiggle, it fell to the floor. She stepped to the basin and dropped both hands into the cool water. Cupping them, she brought it to her face and began to wash the blood away, staining the water red in the bowl.

She groaned in pain as she felt of her still broken nose. With a quick wiggle, she popped it back into place, yelping with pain and grabbing the edges of the table the basin set upon to keep from collapsing when the pain radiated through her face.

After a few labored breaths, she regained herself and continued washing herself until she were clean and the water was a soiled mix of red and brown, turning very dark. She wrung out her hair over it, then twisted it into a tight bun on top of herhead to dry.

Turning her attention to the dress, she laid it across the desk, and did her best to get the drops of blood off the front. She were only somewhat successful, and with a frustrated sigh, she put it back on.

A growl from her stomach reminded her that she needed to eat, and she unlocked the door, and went out into the hallway to explore.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:25] Almost falling asleep one more time, not paying much attention to his surroundings, as Bird would approach he would not mind much, until she would speak, the eyes would follow to her, a strange act to throw a bottle of venom on someone, but still he would catch... it would be a problem if not.

"One can hurt the other can't, I think it's obviously which one is each. Why the question?"

Atleast for him words had not much power, no capability to hurt, but still the blues huse were fixated on Bird.
(Grirsh Ilmish)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:25] Sophia glanced at Amelie and let out a little sigh, then looked around the square.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:26] Canna quietly sits down next to Amelie, offering a little wave!
(Canna)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:26] Alderam whispers something.
[22:26] "Nonsense". She disregards his lack of responsibility immediately. "Words lead people, words change minds, words prevent people moving and compel them to do so. Words are more than good enough to be used in the place of any sword." She waits for him to come up with something, not that she cares. She decided it was right.

"Many swords actually. What King or Queen could say any different?"
(Bird)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:32] She were confused at first as she spun around, trying to understand why this little girl were running around her, streaming a magical aura behind her. However, Cygnus has told her the family was not far away, and it took only one shared, smile filled glance to recognize those eyes. She had just seen the matching set a few hours ago. Rose!

Grabbing her hand, she calmly walked her back to the Estate she had just been accepted into. A quick glance was paid to the sleeping lady of the house and her toddler in her lap, then they were soon inside Sophia's room. She wheeled around to look Rose in the eyes, nearly crying as she dove on her and wrapped her up in a tight hug.

"Rose! Oh, Rose. I've missed you so much. I've missed you so very, very much."
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:32] Rose Sinclair says, "I've missed you too sister. It's beewn such a long time."
[22:32] Sophia Song says, "Six years. Six long years."
[22:33] Sophia rubs Rose's back, not wanting to let go of the hug.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:35] Rose Sinclair asks, "Haha! How have you been?"
[22:36] Sophia Song says, "I have been lonely. So very lonely."
[22:36] Sophia Song says, "But I came here and found purpose."
[22:36] Sophia finally lets go of the hug to hold Rose by the shoulders as she looks at her big sister.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:37] Sophia Song says, "Sir Alastor has taken me in. This is my room! I have my own bed. I've never had a room before."
[22:37] Sophia Song says, "Not one all to myself. I.. I hardly remember what our old room in Sinclair manor looked like."
[22:38] Sophia Song says, "I'll never forget our fun, though."
[22:38] Rose Sinclair says, "At least you haven't forgot us."
[22:39] Sophia shakes her head vigorously.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:39] Sophia Song exclaims, "Never!"
[22:39] Sophia Song asks, "How are you?"
[22:42] Rose Sinclair asks, "I am good what about you?"
[22:42] Sophia laughs and shakes Rose.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:42] Sophia Song exclaims, "You just asked me that, silly!"
[22:42] Sophia Song asks, "How is Kyrina?"
[22:42] Rose Sinclair says, "Woops"
[22:43] Rose Sinclair says, "She's very well. She makes amazing weapons"
[22:43] Sophia Song asks, "She makes weapons? Like, she's a blacksmith now?"
[22:45] Rose Sinclair says, "Yes."
[22:46] Sophia Song says, "That's great! Just like our dad was! She will be better than him, I know it. I want to see her."
[22:49] Rose Sinclair says, "You should be able to. She's hanging around sometimes."
[22:49] Sophia Song asks, "Where? Here, in Dawn?"
[22:49] Rose Sinclair says, "Yes, sometimes, "
[22:52] Rose Sinclair says, "I should go now."
[22:55] Sophia Song asks, "W... why?"
[22:55] Sophia Song asks, "Are you scared?"
[22:57] Rose Sinclair says, "No, i don't want Najin to be scared."
[22:57] Rose Sinclair says, "I told him i will be back soon."
[22:57] Sophia Song says, "We just saw each other after six years and... this is all... oh."
[22:57] Sophia frowns and lets go of her shoulders.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:57] Sophia Song says, "Fine... sure... I'll walk you out."
[22:58] Rose Sinclair says, "Thank you."
[22:59] Sophia Song whispers: Please let Kyrina know that I would like to see her soon.
[22:59] Rose Sinclair whispers: ok i will.
[22:59] Sophia hugs her friend and then waves goodbye as she departs.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:59] Rose Sinclair says, "Farewell."
[23:01] Siegmeyer Engel asks, "Ah! A well place jab, my lad! But what I mean is, where might I buy a farming tool?"
[23:09] Djura asks, "Are ya fine?"
[23:10] Djura says, "... Ya shouldn't approach Amelie, ya. She's dangerous."
[23:12] Akane says, "Oh. Hi."
[23:12] Sophia looks at Akane and offers a small wave.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:12] Sophia Song says, "Hello."
[23:13] Akane waves at the young Oscuri.
(Akane)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:13] Akane asks, "What'cha doing outside my house?"
[23:13] Sophia looks at the nearby house and shrugs.
(Sophia Song)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:13] Sophia Song says, "Just walking around, looking at the city. I haven't seen it all. I.. just got here."
[23:13] Akane says, "Oh... OKay then."
[23:13] Akane says, "I need to go find someone."
[23:13] Sophia Song says, "Ok."
[23:13] Akane exclaims, "My name is Akane!"
[23:13] Sophia Song says, "I'm Sophia"
[23:13] Sophia Song says, "Nice to meet you."
[23:14] Akane says, "Okay. Be back soon."
[23:15] Elio Corazon says, "Fine..."
[23:16] Dylerun Grauhimmel says, "You should also quit slouching."
[23:16] Dylerun Grauhimmel says, "Its unbecoming."
[23:16] Arle Crane says, "No, no one hurt me, Val."
[23:18] Arle nods again, still maintaining her distance. "Okay. We can... leave for camp any time you want.
(Arle Crane)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:19] Valeria Melnyk asks, "Oh. By?"
[23:30] * You have been awarded 4 Roleplay Points! *
[23:37] Jessika Ann says, "You'd be safer with the Gehennan mines I guess, but still far from safe."
[23:37] Sirocco asks, "Do you forbid our travel to the Huangzhou mines then, Lady Jess?"
[23:38] Kiha whispers something.
