CE 3.0 2017-2018

[YOLF]

Raikou

He had the decency to look taken aback, even if only the winding of his shoulders and widening of his eyes could give it away. "Shhhiit, it does look weird?"

Raikou chuckled at the question, taken by at once an old bitterness and burning curiosity at what she'd seen. "A freak," he spat. "That's what they call me, at least."

The tense stance of his body pressed her for more details, awaiting the reaction to his explanation.

[yinsukin]

Sera

Sera shook her head, her voice becoming visibly more confident for some reason.  "It is weird, but in a good way," she said, getting up from her seat and invading his space.  Her head drifted towards his chest, his heart.  "Its so pretty, like a work of art."

Who were these people calling him a freak?  They were probably just jealous, unable to form a soul as nicely designed as his.  It was so nice in fact that she wanted it herself.  However, she couldn't just take it.  He was probably too strong, especially since this probably wasn't everything.  Even if what you see is what you get, it didn't mean she saw everything.

"My powers are far more unnatural and less pretty..." she said, finally tilting her head down at the floor.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Aurelia

Her body refined itself with magic, and with an impossibly quick movement drew the circle. It was rather basic, only having a few diagrams and patterns. It wasn't as intricate as she would have liked but it was good enough. Then she bit down on her thumb, making a small cut so she could rub her blood into the central points. "Alright, what else?"


Grigori

She stepped forwards, mostly impassive as she observed the newcomer. "You appear to be a bit lost. Although, somehow I doubt that's actually the case. I am Grigori, and this is my apprentice Olga. You are...?"

Pavarti

Pavarti started chanting randomly, yet rhythmically, in her native language, filling the magic circle with her own mana as well. She the stepped inside of it. "All right, repeat after me: fill fill fill fill..." Pavarti began to chant the typical chant used to summon a servant, waiting for Aurelia to finish each stanza before moving on.

[Aiden]

Valerie von Vincke

Dark or not, Valerie could see just fine with her lovely yellow eyes the almost as equally lovely mortals who had come upon her in this state. Immediately she drew herself up to her proper stature, and took better stock of the aesthetically pleasing girls present. Their clothing was rather outlandish, but also of fine make. So she was definitely not in Vas any longer.

The vampire's eyes flicked about for a moment and took in the decidedly elven architectural styles nearby to go with it. "Hmm. I suppose if you use the definition of 'lost' that means 'I do not know this place,' then yes." Valerie brushed off one of her shoulders with a contemptuous flick of her fingers. "I am Valerie von Vincke, Baroness of the Castle Vas. I would have you do me the service of telling me where I am."

Olga Marie

Baron huh? This woman sure was talking big for being just a baron. "I am Duchess Olga Marie of House Animusphere, head of one of the twelve great families that rule the magic world. It is a pleasure to meet you, Valerie von Vincke."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Grigori

"I don't care for titles. I am Grigori, this is the Nexus, and you are intruding on my territory. I suppose you are a mage of above average calibur, correct? Sensing out this place wouldn't have been simple otherwise."


Aurelia

She repeated the words confidently, having heard similar recitations before. It was... rather invigorating all things considered. Aurelia was rarely involved in manners like this. When they finished speaking she allowed the circle to drink in her mana. "Is that all?"

Pavarti

Pavarti felt the endless ocean of mana rush into her all at once and yelped. She shuddered as she was instantly filled to the bursting point with mana. This girl-was insane. She was crazier than even a holy grail! Her reserves intimidated the purple-haired girl, left her knees trembling.

"Hah-"You're amazing Aurelia. Yes, the contract is now complete. You seem to have a lot of latant talent."

[Aiden]

Valerie von Vincke

This Olga Marie at least had appropriate manners. Valerie nodded to her. "I appreciate that I was not greeted first by rabble then, your grace." A calculated slight, for Grigori's hostility, to address the apprentice before the teacher. But sorceresses on top of it all? How intriguing. She would take care. "I found myself in a great dark void, and then landed here while following a thread of wild mana to this particular spot. Any trespass was not... intended. At least, not in the sense you imply."

She placed a finger on her chin and considered while her eyes flicked about to take stock of her surroundings. "Now, this so-called Nexus you speak of. Some form of crossroads between the Outer Realms? Interesting." One brick, two brick...

[Umbra of Chaos]

Aurelia

Oh! Telepathy, she had nearly forgotten about it. "There's no need to say that. I know what you're talking about and all of this is practically unusable. You'll get more out of it than I will anytime soon" She wasn't really putting herself down; it was just being realistic.

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

The blonde looked over the playing field and noticed a few details that Joe had left out in his explanation. So she skipped over to him as Sakura took her turn with the ball. "What if you score from behind the line in the middle?" She asked him with apparent curiosity.

"More importantly, where you trying to show off in front of Sakura by taking her here?"

[YOLF]

Raikou

That might have been the nicest compliment he had ever gotten about his half-baked nature. It didn't bother him anymore, and it didn't flatter him, but for once, he actually wanted to laugh about it.

"Heh... hahahah! Who's trying pick-up lines now, huh?" He said, slapping his hands on his knees. The hybrid's mildly shaking shoulder took a second to settle down before he raised his voice towards the counter, asking for two more beers, and then he looked back at Sera.

"Tell you what, then. There's no such thing as unnatural. If I could be born, if people who are patchworks of ghost and werewolf can exist, if a devil's fire can burn a changeling's charm and turn it even worse, your power can't beat out the weirdness scale. And if someone tells you it's wrong and you're wrong by extension, then they can shut the fuck up. What matters..."

He thumped his fist against his chest, and pointed straight at her.

"Is what you do with it, and whose shit you mess up if you need to make a wreck to survive."

[Kat]

Anastasia

"I guess neither of us will die on each other if we split to take care of that. A fair warning, though. I'm not sure how much it will take for me to shop for everything I need." In her assessment, it could be few hours. And more if luck wasn't on her side. "Either way, if we split, just wait on me in my apartment. And don't cause more destruction while I'm away."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Engetsu

"Eh?" The demon couldn't help but be caught off guard by her sudden mood shift. He caught the flipped table in a  hairs breath, moving around awkwardly to catch all the utensils, forks, plates and glasses. Hands, feet, head, all were effectively used. By the end of it, he flawlessly stacked everything, balancing on his toe. And with a single whoosh, he put everything back the way it was, napkins folded and table set in no more than the time it took to knock it over.

Phew.

He bowed respectfully to the two ladies and the owner, as if to give condolences for the trouble, then followed Lizzie.

"What was that about?" He'd ask her once he caught up to her.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Orianna

She turned to look back at the pair, an annoyed look on her face. "You're wasting time. We all have duties to attend to. Costin, come here. And you, you should be heading over to my master's workshop. You waste his time with your inaction."
