[NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.

[Morty]

[Outside Watchtower]

Wenomir laughs. Not what you see every day. If you actually use it in a fight, chances are your enemies will be too confused to defend themselves.

[Halae]

[Outside Watchtower]

"In that case, I am most definitely going to be using it in combat. I wonder if it needs to eat? probably not, but swinging a living rodent is a lot less creepy than swinging a dead-"

It's at this point that Harnel receives the mental message from Cessie, and their short conversation occurs. "Cessie found the doppelganger waiting for her outside the Grave. I need to get there quickly, so I'll see you later, alright?"

[Morty]

[Outside Watchtower]

Wenomir nods. Yeah, sure. In the meantime, I'll clean up and bury the body.

[Halae]

[Outside Watchtower]

Harnel nods, "Right. I'll see you later then, and thanks." for help killing Libra, for taking care of the aftermath. Everything.

With a might flap of his wings, Harnel is in the air, and soaring in the direction of the keep, where he'll drop off the hamster hammer in the armory before going towards Cessie's location to rejoin continuity.

[Devixer]

[Main Room]

Wolfgang returns to Watchtower with a small bag of plants with him. Anyone who's seen him before will probably notice that he looks to have aged by roughly seven years.

[Arena]

After confirming that the Harnel he'd seen has left, Boris returns to the arena to practice with his ballistic knife, while pondering at exactly how the training area could be improved.

[Mindfreak]

Front Door
Wenomir might eventually notice that there is a letter on the door into WATCHTOWER.
Upon further inspection it would reveal to be Katherine Wyrmhunter's resignation letter.
She has left WATCHTOWER for good.

[Morty]

[Front Door]

After burying what's left of Libra's former body in a shallow grave away from the tower, cleaning up the blood and cleaning himself up, Wenomir finally picks up the letter and reads it.

[Mindfreak]

Front Door
The letter reads as followed:
'Dear Wenomir, DC, or KR,
Due to overwhelming factors within the organization, I have decided to quit and make a new start somewhere else. So as of today, I officially quit WATCHTOWER.
Sincerly,
Katherine Wyrmhunter'

[Morty]

[Front Door ==> Arena]

"Overwhelming factors within the organization"? Wenomir doesn't really have any idea what she's talking about, but it's her decision if she wants to leave. Not much to do for Watchtower lately, anyway. Wenomir shrugs, tucks the letter in his pocket in case DC or KR want to see it, then heads to the arena.

[Devixer]

[Arena]

Boris is still in the arena, with his ballistic knife. He gives a curt nod to Wenomir as he enters, then keeps practicing.

[Morty]

[Arena]

Once Wenomir spots Boris, he also notices what weapon he's using.
Oh, hey Boris. Practicing with a knife, I see. Say, you wouldn't happen to have any experience with throwing knives, would you?

[Devixer]

[Arena]

Boris nods as he fires the ballistic knife at a dummy. "Yes, throwing knives were a part of my training. Why, are you trying to learn?"

[Morty]

[Arena]

Yeah, Wenomir says as he watches the knife being thrown. I've been thinking about spicing up my fighting style and throwing knives seem like a good way to do it.

[Devixer]

[Arena]

"Well, it isn't as difficult as you might think," Boris says as he loads another blade into his ballistic knife. "You have throwing knives on you, yes? All I've got is this," he says, waving the ballistic knife.

[Morty]

[Arena]

Yeah. Harnel made some. Wenomir holds up a set of throwing knives. His player doesn't know how they look like, but they're probably well-made and likely adamantine.

[Halae]

[Arena]

The equipment that Harnel makes from adamantine is always simple and functional, but made as close to perfectly done as he can get. Each of the throwing daggers has almost exactly the same weight, but for a few grams.

[Devixer]

[Arena]

Boris takes a quick look at the throwing knives. "Well, let's see what you can do with them, then." If Wenomir does throw one of the knives, Boris will study the way he throws the knife, as well as how much spin he puts on it as he makes the throw.

[Morty]

[Arena]

Wenomir nods, then sends the knife flying at one of the targets. Boris will observe that he's dexterous, quick and precise but his technique could definetly use work - his movements when throwing are too wide, wasting time and momentum.

[Devixer]

[Arena]

Boris considers this for a second, then says, "The throw itself isn't that bad, but you're putting too much of your body weight into your movements. The knife is light enough that you only really need to use your arm and shoulder."

[Morty]

[Arena]

Mhm. So I should use more conservative movements is what you're saying. Let's try it now. Wenomir grabs another throwing dagger and throws it at the target, this time standing more still and moving mostly his arm and wrist.

[Devixer]

[Arena]

Boris looks vaguely satisfied with the second throw. "It takes a little while to get a habit down for conservative throws, but once you've got it, you'll be able to apply that to just about any thrown weapon."

[Morty]

[Arena]

Wenomir nods. The only thing to do is pracitce, then. As always. But I imagine it'll be of use... I'll also need to find a convenient way of carrying them around.

[Devixer]

[Arena]

"It shouldn't be too hard to find a belt for carrying your knives." Boris goes over to the dummy he'd fired his ballistic knife at, and pulls the blade out.

[Morty]

[Arena]

Wenomir nods again.
I was actually thinking I could get my swordbelt and KR's telportation belt modified, so they have sheats for knives.

[Devixer]

[Arena]

"That's your best option, I think," Boris says, putting his ballistic knife into the belt on his thigh. "I haven't used plain throwing knives in a while though, so I'm not the one to ask."

[Morty]

[Arena]

Thanks for the help anyway. Wenomir looks at his left hand, covered in a magitech glove. I think this glove is going to be useful. I got it from KR a while back and it works as a force multiplier. Should be useful to increase the force behind a thrown knife.

[Devixer]

[Arena]

"Sounds like quite the boon for combat," Boris says. He personally prefers not relying on tech like that, but he won't judge anyone else for using it.

[Shadowcaller]

[Forest]

Right between two trees the world suddenly seem to blur for a moment and with a loud sound and a flash a humanoid figure suddenly stands there in a space-man like suit.

Z-I-P!

The space-person is accompanied by a large travel bag on wheels which it after checking a instrument of sort strapped the arm the person unzips it and then starts to strip off the space suit, placing it in the bag.

After a while preparing the space-person sets out.

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

[Outside Watchtower]

A woman who look to be about 18-20 but probably would have looked older if not for her haircut, blue dyed hair and choice of clothes approaches the outer wall. She's carrying a rather large bag in her hand and got a backpack which looks like a monkey on her back.
Behind her she's dragging a even larger bag which look to take a quite a bit of strength.



She look around a bit before slowly approaching the gate and knocks on it. "Hello? Anyone here?"

[Reinholdt]

[Front Gate]



Butler opens the gate!
"Good afternoon ma'am. Welcome to Watchtower ma'am. How may we help you today ma'am?"
...
"Is that a monkey on your back ma'am?"

[Shadowcaller]

[Front Gate]

The woman interest is immediately drawn to Butler's ears while stopping a moment to notice his naked chest.
"Eh, yeah." She replies with a slightly nervous expression as she takes off her backpack to give Butler a better look at it. "This is mister bananas and I'm Megan. We're looking for some directions or maybe some place to crash in."
