I'm not saying that I want you to leave, I'm just asking you to be a little flexible. Please? :smallsmile:

The red-haired youths stare was so fixated on the beasts in front of him that he ignored the girls question for a moment... It was not only terror in his eyes, but wonder... perhaps woolgather too. His honey brown mare on the other hand appeared to be genuinely terrified. Her rider, however, kept her under control as if she were simply part of his body.
"They are so fascinatingly terrifying... Perhaps they are terrified... brought to unlife through words of blasphemy whose body wouldn't be?"
Then he suddenly remembered the girl and her question.
"Name: Icarus, after the one who flew into the sun and lost his wings. Rank: what does it matter to you? I am human, you're human, we are surrounded by a sea of rotting, writhing and sharp clawed flesh. For now we best stick together, no?... That we came to the aid of his highness is mere coincidence... coincidence I tell you...and that it may lead to grandeur and legend is yet another coincidence." he winks "Serial number: I am afraid that I... evaded registering into the new bureaucratic nightmare. I do enjoy not being a number."
He takes a moment and scans his new group... There were a lot of faces, many of them younger than him and most weren't hard on the eyes... especially that blue-eyed blond lass... A fair, gentle and graceful cleric no doubt. His eyes returned to purple haired girl in front him... she was the unfairest of them all, but a gentleman is kind to all.
"My lady, now you have me at an unfair advantage, would you have the kindness to tell me your name?"
(Purple hair? Tinsley?)
I guess I'm not too inclined to move all our characters, since there are monsters outside of our sight range.
Luc can move to L8 to give us a bit more sight, I guess.
And Layla follows to L9.
Delila to O10.
Tarvos, unless I'm mistaken, is getting killed by Stein/Cynthia, so unless they miss, we're fine. If they do miss, or the Tarvos isn't dead, have Abiy attack. If it still stands, I guess we leave Tinsley to kill it.
Just do this to stay somewhat defensive, there are still monsters we can't see, and there's another recruitable PC out there, somewhere.
Oh, I thought you were saying that we'll find out, soon.
No, I guess we'll have to keep scouring the map.
Will she attack us if we find her?
And you know, it would have been nice to keep that Pegasus Knight.
If we don't recruit her, what happens?

"Okay. Rule one, I'm not your lady. Or anybody's lady, for that matter. Rule two, my hair is an obvious pink.* And rule three, I don't normally answer people who stand there looking stupid for so long."
*It's the same as Neimi, actually.

"Luc, do we really need to antagonize every new person that joins this group?"
http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/5...emportrait.png
"Now Layla, there is nothing with being a bit cruel, we need to see if the can take it." Turning to face Icarus Naktem smiled before beginning to talk again. Icarus, its good to see the shock has worn off. Just be prepared to deal with a lot worse then this carnage and you should be fine."

Icaru's tilts his head in surprise at Luc's response, but he soon smiles
"Feisty! I can appreciate that. As you wish, 'nobody's' lady." he turns his attention to the red haired girl.
"Do not worry and no harm done" he says with a smile "Could I please know your name?" he asks in a kind, slightly affectionate tone
@Naktem
"Aye, life's the cruelest of them all... until you marry one! Then you realize how kind life was." he grins "Good to be back on the same level Naktem and do not worry my axe is sharp. Let's remind these rotting bones what it is to be living!"
http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/845...ucportrait.png
"Could be worse. I could give everyone demeaning nicknames."
http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4...laportrait.png
"I... I find it wrong.... being cruel to people." She paused then added. "Unless its Tinsley. Cause he kind of deserves it."
http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4...laportrait.png
Layla returns Icaru's smile. "My names Layla. Layla Cauni."
(I think Icaru and Tinsley are going to be best friends)
http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4...laportrait.png
"You already started that Luc. Remember? You called Reed 'healy stick'."
http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/845...ucportrait.png
"And now he's gone. What's my incentive?"
http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4...laportrait.png
Layla shrugs. "I don't know. I was just pointing out the fact that you already did start."
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...nutralface.png
Layla looks over to see Tinsley's face. "Good Tinsley, I hope that hurt."
http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/5...emportrait.png
Naktem smiled before responding to Icarus. "But do they fear death, or feel pain? For that is what makes combat so alive, but no matter, lets crush whatever counts as life in these abominations."
Naktem smile widened slightly before turning to Layla."I am impressed at your level of hatred you have for Tinsley, I did not think you had it in you."
http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/235...usportrait.png
"A pleasure." he bows slightly "If you need of my help, just ask." he looks at his new group "That goes to everyone"
(Perhaps, we'll see :))

Icarus shrugs "Some tales say they fear death for they have seen it. Others write that being in a state of undeath is torment eternal... But honest I don't know- ask a mage. A necromancer I think they are called... If their abominations cannot feel fear and pain, their masters most certainly can and I'll be more than happy to bring it to them!"

Icarus' face turns amused once more "Tinsley must have done something severe for this fair rose to show her thorns.".
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...nutralface.png
"The only reason I hate him so much is because he's pissed me off one to many times Naktem, along with everyone here."
http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4...laportrait.png
Layla smiles slightly as she turns to face Icarus. "I thankyou for the offer but its not needed. I can handle myself." She paused slightly then adds. "And if I do need help Luc's always there by my side to help me if it comes to that."
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...nutralface.png
"A little something called pissing off my best friend enough that we ended up having to go look for her in a forest. Not to mention pissing me off as well at the same time." She paused catching the 'fair rose' thing. "And can you not call me a 'fair rose', or anything like that.. I find stuff like that rather irritating. Its Layla, just Layla."
(I think Luc's gonna kill him for that one.)

To be fair, I was asleep that first time.
And do try to watch your language around the new guy. He's under the misguided assumption that you're some pinnacle of modesty and lady-like-ness
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...nutralface.png
"First, do you think I care that you were asleep? No I really don't care at all. Second, what about all the other times you weren't asleep?"
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...eallyangry.png
"And do not tell me what to do Tinsley. I hold the lest respect for you out of everyone here. Your the last person I would take adivce from."
http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/...insley/Reg.png
For the record, new guy- Icarus, was it?- I'm gettin' all this venom because I said she looks three years younger than she actually is. Of course, in 30 years or so, she'll be beggin' for people to tell her that.
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...eallyangry.png
"Oh yes, thats the only reason I hate your guts. It has nothing to do with the fact you've insulted me in other ways and pissed off Luc and everybody here as well. Yep that totally has nothing to do with it."
http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/6...ucevilgrin.png
"If you don't learn to keep your flowery prose to yourself, you're going to see more than just thorns."
(I don't have a face to match the look I'm thinking of, and I don't have time to make one)
((OOC: Just a warning, by some supernatural intervention, divine or demonic, something about this conversation has actually managed to get Tinsley really riled up. I'll have to ask him what about it exactly, but note that I had to step in here to stop his entire speech from being made up of asterisks.))
http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/...insley/Reg.png
Actually... no. Because other than saying you look young, I said you looked cute- which by definition is not an insult- or that you looked short. And as 5'3" Is one standard deviation below the average height of a fifteen-year-old girl, it is a scientific fact that you are short.
Or were you talking about that one remark I made about you and Luc being "together," which was really you just taking my words out of context? In fact, I'd say a good 90% of all your problems with me stem from you taking me out of context and me correcting you. And don't even argue that, I've just been through the whole bloody archive of everything I've said.
Furthermore, Luc and I are rivals. We're supposed to be jerks to each other. She only got "pissed off" at me when I made references to the fact that you're cute, because she's under some...
http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/...nsley/Raeg.png
delusion that I'm trying to get you to run off into the woods with me so we can screw like rabbits, and that I'd actually be successful in my attempt. Which, for the record, is not and never will be my desire.
Anything else?
(I have just spent like thirty to forty minuets seeing if Tinsley has insulted anyone else in any other way. Realizing that he has not, I have realized I just made Layla dig her own grave in a sense. A rather deep grave. I is so sorry for that Layla!)
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...eallyangry.png
"I find you calling me cute an insult because of all the perverted comments you have made.
I know I am scientifically short for my age. I don't like being reminded of that fact. I find it extremely annoying being reminded of that fact and have told you several times I find it annoying being reminded of that.
And as for 'taking your words out of context', well excuse me for not knowing what you mean by those type of comments because you make so many perverted comments. How the hell is anyone suppose to know what you really mean when it seems that every other comment you make is related to you getting into bed with someone.
And as for you and Luc being 'rivals'. I like to point out theres a big difference between rivals and the other person wanting to rip your vocal cords and burning them! Granted the burning part is what I want to do but I still think it fits."
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...nutralface.png
"And now if you excuse me I will be ignoring you for a while. Which means. Leave me the hell alone!"
(I'm gonna end this before Layla does in fact end up burning Tinsley's vocal cords.
Startled by the almost-summoned-horror at his feet, the reluctant shaman strikes up another conversation with Stein.
http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/z...teabbyface.png
"Oh, Geed... what's this skeleton hand doing here? Do you know what's going on, sir? In fac', who the devil are those people over there?"
He points in Tinsley's general direction
"They look like they about to start a war over there. Tell you what, I know some strange magic- I call it 'Obeah'. I'll do what you say for now- you seem to know the scene, 'kay?"
