"Well..." Vincent says. "I guess the overall agreement was grow up, get married, don't have kids. All that's left is to decide how to grow up. The most ready way to is to drink spring water which has adverse affects that take time getting used to. There's probably another way. Maybe. We'd have to search the game to find it. Ask random townsfolk about legends and such."

[No Longer So Cold - Practice Room]
Luckily Bianca doesn't see the stats, or she'd check herself into a mental hospital.
Okay, for this to work, I'm going to have to tackle you into your own shadow. It shouldn't hurt. Once there, it's just a matter of finding another shadow to leap out of. I'll shove you out ahead of myself, like I said earlier. Got it?
[Main Room]
Where should we start? Caroline asks, reaching for the door to exit. You didn't like GLoG. Maybe... Inside?

"Okay," she replies.
Shanaya holds her sword really tightly so that it won't go flying when she's tackled. "I'm ready."
She sees a practice dummy somewhere off that way. Pointing at it with her slightly glowing sword, she says, "Let's try to get that one."
Shanaya mentally prepares to use her Fire spell.

"So wait, are you confirming we're doing the long drawn out sidequestline option that we have to find over the get it done and move on option?" Vincent asks, since he was trying to figure that out earlier.

Bianca looks at the target, then nods her head once to Shanaya. Ready? and before letting the strange girl answer, Bianca charges at her and tries to tackle her into the shadow behind her.
If successful, they'll be back in the shadowrealm.
[Main Room]
That's my vote, yes. I mean, look at what I've gone through by drinking that water. What if it turns out even worse when you do it?

Hmm... didn't want to go into the training room, huh? Well Vincent's not responsible for scratched up furniture. He waits to see how Caroline does.

Re: [Nexus] NO XIII: Do Clockwork Penguins Dream of Mechanical Fish?
Training Room - No longer so cold
Shanaya Evilene doesn't even have time to nod! She is suddenly pushed into her own shadow, and suddenly finds herself in the Shadowrealm.
The young person wasn't quite mentally prepared as she had thought, so it takes a couple of extra seconds to start the spell.
She starts chanting something about the sinusoidal curves of temperature metamorphosis, and now her whole body starts glowing the same dim red glow that her sword has. Her eyes glow a little bit more...
She prepares a little bit better so that she'll finish the fire spell as soon as she gets out of the Shadow Realm.

Bianca opens a portal above their heads, and will try to lift and toss the girl out, hopefully facing their target.

Caroline nods. She said she wasn't needed for anything. I tried to reason with her, but she just wouldn't budge.

"That's great! You're able to communicate freely with her now. Quite an improvement." Over blacking out and being told what happened after.

The girl is pretty light...and is easily thrown upwards.
As soon as she leaves the Shadow Realm to the Realm of the Living (that's what she calls it, anyway), she orients herself and then finishes her Fire Spell! It takes a little bit longer to orient herself because she's never done this before, but, obviously, with practice she'll improve.
"...and burn all living!" is how the spell ends. With that, she points her glowing sword at the dummy. The red glow all around her focuses on the sword, and then the sword arcs a glowing ball of light at the dummy.
After hitting the dummy, nothing happens for a half of second, but then fire falls from the sky in a pillar of fire!
Shanaya waits to see what Bianca does now.
The blue bar projected on the wall moves down a quarter of the way.
If she's lucky, the dummy might just catch fire.Last edited by 5a Violista; 2012-09-07 at 08:44 PM.

Yeah. It's definitely a step in the right direction. Probably if I practiced more, I might get full control over her.
Training Room - No longer so cold
Bianca leaps out a moment latter, her black blade slashing at the dummies mid-section, cutting it in two. Fake blood spurts out, spraying everywhere. And that's the end of him.
She pauses and frowns at the dummy. Where's the fire? she turns to Shanaya. I thought you cast a fire spell?

Shanaya looks at the dying dummy.
"I did," she responds. "The fire just went out right before you came out. Sadly, it didn't catch fire." The girl frowns and shakes her head. "I think there's only like a 1/20 chance that it'll catch fire." Not that she's a chemist, able to calculate the chances of something catching fire when you blast it with a pillar of fire from the heavens.
The frown ends.
"That was pretty cool, though."

"Hmm... possibly." Might just come to an understanding with each other, being they are kinda the same person? Those things were always tricky and required game time of self discovery and some cut scenes. Ugh, cut scenes.Last edited by Reinholdt; 2012-09-08 at 05:38 AM.

Slii bobs his head in affirmation, chittering a nervous laugh, "Slii hears things yes? Cult of slaves and owners spread all over. Eyes everywhere and fingers in things. What is Dalachrech? Chktchkt!"

"Dalachrech is a god of bugs," Dipsnig says with a shrug. "And his followers worship bugs. And yes, they do keep slaves and don't even bother to hide it. That's why I want to see them burn. And I'll do it by obtaining information about them and handing them to Watchtower, who will use it to squish them flat."My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies.

Slii considers this, nodding absently, "No-rats then, chktchkt! Verminkin not welcome, will be found too easily. Slii will-must devise new trick-skill for this task, yes-yes!" He starts reaching into the many filthy pockets of his animal-hide cloak, pulling out pouches that rattle and crunch and squish beneath his fingers.

One in twenty? Bianca asks, a little stunned. One in twenty! she says a little more forcefully. What good is that? Did it do any damage to the dummy at all? the marches over to examine the dead dummy.

Well, where to now, oh mighty leader? Caroline says with a half-smile.

The dummy has scorch marks, but isn't on fire.
"Of course not!" replies Shanaya, replying with the same level of force in her voice. She also got a little angry. She learned that fire spell a couple of days ago! Of course it's strong enough.
"It's just a dummy! Dummies don't get hurt!" She's yelling, but only a little. Not as loud as she can get. Just a little annoyed.
The girl bends over, ready to fight. "If you want to see if it does damage, you should've said so!" Her brow is furrowed in anger, whatever that means.
Shanaya Evilene Klisvane starts to chant her fire spell again, and the glow encompasses her whole body again.
As everybody knows, anger makes Fire Spells stronger.Last edited by 5a Violista; 2012-09-11 at 01:45 PM.

"I dunno. I still can't for the life of me figure out what the Main Questline is." Vincent says with a shrug. "Unless the whole growing up thing is. In which case I can thoroughly say this game's story is terrible." Terrible!
