"Let's get you some air to breath then." The sorceress nods and will lead him out of the lab as the others tend to Svetlana.
"I understand it was quite scarring." She takes a deep breath. "As... as an administrator it's my responsibility to make sure things work smoothly and that everyone feels safe here, including our guests. That's why I was so upset with you for nearly killing Obsidian. Something I hope you understand after what happened just now."
Now it's Cessie's turn to sigh. "But if I had known how emotionally unstable miss Tanaka was I would have handled it differently. Indeed, she shouldn't even have been hired in the first place. I don't know what will happen with her after this but I hope she will be able to get the help she needs. Perhaps GloG can take her in."
[A Scholarly Visit]
She smiles at his first question. "Like many places, it's very different based on from whom you're born. The fortunate can enjoy its gardens and architecture while the unfortunate won't have time to enjoy much of anything besides the simplest of pleasures."
Her smile turns somber. "There are far more unfortunate than fortunate I'm sad to report." She does seem like one of the fortunate ones though judging by her armor alone.
Then her attention is turned back to the pinups. "Why would I hate them?" She inquires as she seems to do a double take to make sure she hadn't missed anything about the pictures. "Perhaps I'm missing some context here, but if they're important to you it shouldn't even matter what I think, should it? Since I get the feeling they're more than just pictures to you."

Wenomir arrives in the lab soon after Cessie, a little sweaty and wearing a sleeveless shirt with shorts. Seems the news caught him in the middle of training, either his own or some Vigil members'.
"What in all the dead gods happened here?" he asks as he walks in. He's obviously distressed, which slips through his otherwise iron-clad composure.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

It's clear by the look on Dr. Valiance's face that he very much appreciates the gesture. "Yeah, well - uhh. Thanks, I suppose." He takes another deep breath before leaning over, resting his hands on his knees. "Wow, I think I'm going to be sick." He'll mumble a little, still quite out of it. "The gun, Cess - she was gonna shoot me." There's a pearl of truth there, honest to god fear. The perfect foundation of what was going to be perhaps the greatest lie he'd ever told. "I told you, you know - you didn't believe me." Once Cessie mentions something about GloG, Dr. Valiance nods. "Good, whatever gets her the hell away from me."
He sneers before standing tall once more, adjusting his teashades. "If you weren't around, you know - uhh. Well."
His scowl conveys his meaning quite clearly.
"Christ."
[A Scholarly Visit]
Dr. Valiance winces at this. It sounded like every other terrible place he'd ever lived in. "Yeah? Bummer." For a few seconds, that's all he can say. "Reminds me a lot of home. You know, uhh - I used to be pretty into politics." There's a little smile there, its sadder than usual. "Used to spend hours reading, debating - speaking out. Rallies, you know." Those were simpler days. He was angry then, just angry. "Shoulda seen me when I was younger, Rosie. Like twenty or so? Damn." This is said mostly tongue in cheek. Mostly. "Anyway, uhh - the posters."
He shrugs before sitting back in his chair. "Back where I'm from, uhh - the world I'm from, rather." He pauses to glance towards the closest pinup, smiling a little as he does so. "Stuff like this, it was all super popular - could find 'em all over the place." In truth, he used to collect them, more or less. "Started missing it all, you know - after a few years went by."
"This is all commissioned from memory. A little slice of home, baby."

"She was certainly planning to do something with the gun." In retrospect, the way Svetlana had acted did not match up with someone who was about to commit murder but at the time there hadn't been time to give those thoughts any further consideration.
"I'm sure we can find out more once we're able to question her." Cessie shakes her head. "But I assure you, you won't have to worry about her ever again. I will make sure of it." The sorceress pauses as she sees Wenomir approach. "But I need to discuss this with Wenomir now. Should I have the elemental accompany you or do you think you will be alright on your own?"
The elemental is still standing by Svetlana, watching her.
MEDLAB II
In the medlab Wenomir will be, by the two medics that were at the scene, informed of everything that happened which unfortunately means that his player might have to read the backlog for more details.
[A Scholarly Visit]
Ambrosia nods thoughtfully. "I'm afraid that I've been rather uninvolved in politics. My family is so deeply ingrained into it that I just wanted to get away from it all. Then it's the way I live, not staying in one place for more that is necessary, it doesn't give me much of a chance to get involved in much of anything besides intellectual affairs." She admits and then follows his gaze back to the posters once more.
"I think I'm starting to see then. These were so common that it in a way devalued them." She smiles as she recalls something. "Though perhaps your society was more like lady Mithar's then as I don't think she would have appreciated these either. She seems quite opposed to sexual display of the human body and I'm going to venture that your society saw things the same way."

Electra doesn't say anything for a moment, her expression unreadable, before worry overtakes everything else on her face and in her eyes. She sighs deeply, but then gives Wenomir a curious look.
"It's obvious she cares about both of us, and we both care about her. It's in my nature to worry about people I care about, and I know she's not Kr. I wouldn't want her to be, but it's clear from what you've said that Cass shares at least one trait with Kr. I just....don't know how concerned I should be. What about you?"
[Training Ground - Potential Student]
Quin nods as he listens to Jezebel explain. When she takes hold of Excalibur, it will resize itself for her; still a longsword, but sized for her. Even so, it's light and wieldly; it feels more like handling a shortsword than a longsword. It's quick and fine, with exceptional balance. When she offers it back to Quin, it will resize itself back to the size it was before.
"I don't really have control over its size, unfortunately. It will shape itself for whomever is holding it and their size, and when I assume Paladin Style, it becomes a greatsword, but....I've never really willed it to do either of those things, nor have I been able to control its ability to do so. I am a bit more flexible than I appear, though, for whatever it's worth."Last edited by Nova_Eclipse; 2020-08-12 at 04:55 PM.

Wenomir's face darkens further as he listens to the recount. By the Riddle. He's going to have words with Dr. Valiance, but he can't deny Svetlana's culpability, either. He's both disappointed in her and deeply concerned for her well-being. For now she waits for Cessie. He needs to discuss it with her first. He's not sure if Svetlana is in a state where she can talk to him.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

[On the Edge - The Very Edge]
Yeah Mia isn't thinking about any romantic outcome right now. It is a measure of the church and therefor a seriouse one. She needs to find out what happened only then she can plan the next step.
"You sure?" Mia just asks. She is appearently more nervouse when she mentions they saw him. Yes he is in GloG.
"I... You.....Him...." Mia just studders as her mind sems to go crazy.
[MEDLAB II]
Mia will arrive there a bit after Wenomir got his informations from the two medic. The reason is rather simple. She had also listened to them to get informations if anyone is in medical need. With what she was told she is sure no major injurys happen, but Svetlana's state of mind is enougth to worry. So she will arrive with another pair of medic assistance which push a medical stretcher in front of them. on it also are some cuffs, in Svetlana needs to be restrained. The assistance will head to Svetlana and see if she can be put on the stretcher while Mia will head for Dr. Valiance.
"Are you okay? Do you need anything." she says, after Cessies question was answered. She got a few potions in her bag and even something like a drink. Just in case someone get's to nervouse.Grammer is my declared deadly enemy!

The gun was just icing on the cake, and Dr. Valiance knows it. "Planning to do something?" Val's cheeks redden, its clear his fear was fading away - he was becoming more confident again. "She was trying to kill me! She said it, verbatim! Like, twice! You, uhh - you know, I don't know how you can claim it was anything else!" He scoffs once she mentions something about questioning. "Questioning her? Is that on the agenda?"
"She's lost her damn mind, gone all freaky deaky - and you're telling me you still trust anything she has to say?" Then the elemental is brought up, and his bluster lessens. "Erm, yeah - I, uhh."
"I'd appreciate that."
[A Scholarly Visit]
Dr. Valiance scratches at his beard once she explains her story. "Oh, I get it - yeah. Family stuff, that's, uhh - that's hard." His words were somewhat lame, but there's genuine sentiment behind it all. Family issues were clearly a complicated matter to him. "You're a wanderer, then. That's far out, mystical as hell."
Back to the posters. He smiles a little. "Uhh, yeah - actually. Spot on, Rosie." As she goes on about the human body, Val shrugs. "I've always been more into it. Call it freedom of expression, its all groovy."
"Free love, baby."Last edited by Hattish Thing; 2020-08-13 at 02:18 AM.

"I know what she said, Dr. Valiance. If she hadn't been as enhanced as I expected her to be, my elemental could have commited murder when I had it apprehending her." She certainly hadn't had it pulling any punches considering what she at the time had thought was happening.
"I just want to understand her motives a bit better even if they are 'crazy'. If GloG accepts her, they will have more to work with the more we can tell them about her inner turmoil. Regardless what she tells us she's obviously still unstable so it won't change anything in regards to your situation."
By now, the elemental have left Svetlana's side and is approaching them. By now it has shrunken down to a more humanoid frame resembling the one of its summoner.
"But anyway, if there's anything you need don't hesitate to ask. I will be half-listening through the elemental but you could always just give me a call on my communicator. But if there's nothing else I need to talk to Wenomir now."
And so the sorceress will leave Dr. Valiance with the elemental.
What she didn't mention was that he could get her immediate attention by touching the elemental but she's fairly sure he wouldn't do something so foolish. It would be uncomfortable to her.
[A Scholarly Visit]
Her nod is barely noticeable this time. "Indeed, though I do prefer faster means of transportation than by foot." She inclines her head towards the driver's seat of the vehicle.
A smile. "Though I'm guessing this might be the fastest mean of transportation I've taken so far."
But then she takes on a more thoughtful expression. "Free love, you say? Interesting expression, I can certainly agree to the notion if the opposite is the fear of it." She turns her head towards the driver's seat again. "Though I do feel we might have spent a bit too long going over old memories wouldn't you say? I'm quite eager to see the experiments you've mentioned."

Val just sort of shrugs. I suppose that was the best answer he could have hoped for.
He'll find somewhere to sit before pulling out what appears to be a cell phone. He's communicating with someone. Probably fine.

A... a hug?
"Sure," Geneva replies, trying to sound as genuine as possible. She isn't the most huggy person but she's trying to connect here. Sometimes you've got to give a little to get a little. It's about building trust.
And getting sports drink on her lab coat.
Hug complete. "Thank you, that was very thoughtful, Doctor Valence."
He still hasn't mentioned his first name has he? She'll just stick with formalities until he decides to provide her with a different moniker to call him by.
"It's a sonic cannon," Geneva summarizes. "I've seen versions meant for crowd control. They don't explode people, they just cause significant pain. Potentially permanent deafness. So you made one that causes destructive resonance in living tissue?"
That sounds...
Pretty awful.
A people-popper.
Certainly a weapon, that's for sure.
"Oh!" her eyebrows rise a little. "Ear, since it's sound based. But incongruous since it isn't actually interacting with the ears specifically. That's the joke, right?"
Geneva is pretty bad with jokes. But she's trying!
"I've actually heard of research like that. On acoustic vibrations impacting the nervous system," Geneva hums as she inspects the plants. "The majority of ghost sightings can actually be linked to specific frequencies of infra-sound that causes the optic nerve to vibrate sympathetically. It causes feelings of intense dread and even visual hallucinations. Back home this effect was discovered as a result of a 'haunted' laboratory. One of the researchers got fed up with it after a phantom hovered in his peripheral vision for about an hour. A few days later the 'haunting' stopped and so he inquired about what had changed. Turned out the maintenance crew had replaced an old ventilation fan. So the researcher got the old fan, hooked it up, and POW!"
Geneva throws her arms up in the air.
"Instant haunting. It didn't take long to figure out the frequency of sound produced by the faulty fan was causing the effect."Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

"I've been told that someone was tranquillized and Svetlana and Dr. Valiance had a massive argument over it, which ended in her pulling out a sword and a gun on him, then suffering a mental breakdown."

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva

Adir probably gently interjects at times for some pointed questions: what the heck a cabopionja is, or how exactly she was going to kill a storm if it had stuck around. She was operating on a level above Adir, that seemed all but certain. He'd sort of anticipated that already, but the gap might be even larger now. Then she gets to the part about the SOS... "Ilphy..." The stag wants to look away, but he tries to meet her gaze. He spreads his hands, looking as helpless as he felt that day. "I didn't even know that was you - I don't know a lot of the stuff you're capable of, apparently. And even if I had understood... I can't fly, Ilphy. The first I saw of that thing was it flying in the other direction. I hope our botched little raid on AMEN shows you I would have come, if I'd known, if I could have."
Adir finds himself smirking and snorting despite himself when Ilphy teases him about her dream. That spike in his mood rapidly levels out again. He at least lets her get through all the rest of it before speaking up. He opens his mouth as if to say how shady all this sounds, how she should be careful, maybe to spill out another 'sorry', but instead he chokes on a gust of laughter at her utter nonchalance. "Let's just focus on you for now, okay? What... what does this Tauron guy get out of all this? I don't imagine he's just doing this out of the goodness of his heart."Last edited by Murkus; 2020-08-13 at 03:48 PM.

Val grins once she mentions speed, gently slapping at the dashboard as he does so. "Hell yeah, she's faster than lightning, baby." He rubs his hands together excitedly before reiterating.
"Yeah, you know - always been something of a gearhead."
"Oh, but uhh - yeah, you're right. Buckle up and let's head out!"
[Wait, We Have a Science Division]
Dr. Valiance is, perhaps surprisingly, fairly adept at hugging. There's no denying that its messy, though - after all, he's drenched in sweat and sports drink. "Alright, hell yeah - bring it in." He just nods cheerfully once Geneva thanks him. Huh, was she saying his name wrong? Better get that settled. "Uhh, it's Doctor Valiance, actually. Most people just call me Val, though. Go for it, its fun! Really rolls off your tongue, all groovy like." When she references the sonic cannon, Val nods. He's quite proud of this thing, a lot of work went into it. "I sure did, sunshine. Bunch of different settings, uhh - should be able to crack the whip on, uhh - even the densest of creatures."
"It's way cool, I'll be honest." Dr. Valiance grins at her acknowledgement of the EAR pun. Awesome, she got the joke! "You got it, baby. It's all poetical and such, ironic. Love me some of that stuff." She goes on to talk about haunting. He's actually quite invested in this conversation at this point. "Hey, right on - that's actually where a lot of this business started from, you know." He'll scratch at his beard. "But yeah, I've created a set of frequencies which, uhh - well. It sounds wacky as hell, I know - but, we're talking full body manipulation via the brain." Val pushes his red teashades back up the bridge of his nose. "Now, you can't actually hear it, really - but it sort of sounds like a bass line. So what I've done is set it to some music, and - well."
He steps to the side and moves towards his control system. "Alright, this is gonna be pretty loud - and don't worry, I've got it calibrated to only affect plants. At least, for right now." Unless prevented, Dr. Valiance starts to crank the music up once again. Several seconds pass, with Val starting to jog in place once again. Sure enough, the potted plants, once motionless, have started to sway in place.
"BUT YEAH. I CAN DO SOME CRAZY STUFF WITH THIS!"

"There should be security footage of it all for you to see. That might be easier than for me to explain it all. They were arguing, Dr. Valiance was really pushing her buttons from what I could tell, and then she pulled her sword and it all went very fast. All the injuries she sustained? I had my elemental do that the moment she pulled her gun. I'm afraid it was rather brutal but I couldn't have her use that gun. She was hysteric, it all went so fast that I honestly can't recall the details all too well." Cessie explains.
They might need Dr. Valiance to get that security footage though. Unless... perhaps Geneva could access it somehow?

"Oh goodness, I've been saying it wrong the whole time haven't I?" Geneva laughs nervously. "I thought it was like a comic book name maybe? Doctor Valence! Like atomic valence. I figured you were maybe a chemical engineer?"
Wow.
Boy does she ever feel dumb now.
Totally misheard that.
"Ah, alright. Val it is, then. And Geneva is fine. I-I'm not too fond of nicknames myself. They have negative connotations for me," she admits. She's been doing a pretty good job of not saying anything thus far but it's starting to bug her just a bit. When someone like her gets a nickname it means she's owned.
Very negative connotations.
"Destructive resonance must vary a bit though based on the target, wouldn't it?" Geneva asks curiously. "Does the EAR have a way to field calibrate itself?"
And then the music gets cranked up.
LOUD.
Really loud.
Geneva covers her ears as the beat vibrates the room. She suppresses a smirk at the incongruity setting a weapon to the tune of a song that includes the phrase staying alive. But, strictly speaking, this would be a very effective non-lethal weapon.
She doesn't bother shouting. Instead, there's a voice in Val's mind. It's immediately clear that it is external and distinct from his own sub-vocalization.

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva

A better question is to ask what a cabopionja isn't because a cabopionja is a catgirl robot pirate demon ninja. And dangerous.
Ilpholin has weapons and the storm was material. It's just a matter of proper application. Which she was still working out...
She was prepared for being Adir bogged down or protecting the injured or didn't see the flare or having to stand at someone else's side. Heck not knowing it was her is even almost an acceptable excuse, but Adir follows it up with something so weak as couldn't even try. Can't fly? Neither can Ilpholin but she refuses to allow such technicalities limit her and tell her what's impossible. Wasn't Adir protecting Cessie? The mage with magic? Amongst other possibilities, Ilpholin's certain they could have come up with something together.
Ilpholin just quietly looks away from Adir's gaze with a disappointed frown.
But then, Ilpholin couldn't destroy the airship either. Maybe because she put her trust in people wrapped up in cannots, but she also didn't trust herself to finish the job either or she would have tried. This was her failure. She had to get stronger, needed to get stronger, no matter the cost. She wouldn't allow Sargon the luxury of surviving a second encounter.
Ilpholin waves her hand and it briefly becomes a dagger. "Tauron gets a weapon, a soldier, that will cut the demons to the core. He lost a lot of his people to them. Friends. Family. If he were doing this from his heart, then it was out of hate, not kindness." Ilpholin's hand turns back to normal and she flexes her fingers. "The more trustworthy of the two motives."

"Yeah, the first one is fine. Just tell me what he said." Mia says cathing herself a bit. Otherwise she is silent, staring down and looking at tthe letter she got. She is sure if they approch him and ask about the marriage it will be okay, the letter still contains some personal things she won't share with him right now.
[MEDLAB II]
Since Dr. Val seems to be fine, Mia heads over to Svetlana. The medical assistance got a hards time helping her, they are only trained to treat wounds of living beeings and not mechanical. As they wwere tols they still restain her. After all she could just become violent as it was mentioned she is instable.
When Mia comes she will look at the Svetlana. She has no bad feelings against her, but from what she was told by the medics who were here she appears to be confirmed in her opinion. Nether the less she is here to treat Svetlana and will run a scan over her body using two flying objects that just embark from her dress. I think it is easy to assume Svetlana is alright, at least without injurys only maybe a dent in her face or stormatch? She can't scan for the mental part, thats something for other prople.
Unless the security data are highly secured by Dr. Val in his lab Mia should be able to help them out as well. She's good with

Svetlana's physically fine, the punch to her stomach did nothing since her armour absorbed the kinetic energy of the punch. Her face is fine, too, the metal's strong enough to resist being dented too much by the force of that punch. The skin of her nose has peeled off to reveal the purplish metal underneath.

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva

Unfortunately for Mia, the laboratory is very much the domain of DAHL, Dr. Valiance's perhaps suspiciously quiet artificial intelligence.
Console access is locked behind several layers of advanced security protocol. It's all fairly complex, clearly the work of a talented computer technician. Nothing stands out in particular though, save for a large red icon at the top of each panel. It seems to be a security override button. A yellow sticky note has been stuck over the icon, upon which is written several phrases: "CONFIDERS ION; OVERLETS GO; BERMES PET; VANITY AISLE; VIRUS WILL VIE, RAW CASH."
Reads like gibberish, for sure. Was it some sort of code?
[Wait, We Have a Science Division?]
Dr. Valiance smiles warmly towards Geneva. He didn't really mind that she got his name wrong, names are pretty fluid to him. Seeing as the demonstration was complete, he reaches back around to turn the music down. Now they could hear one another without getting into weird brain stuff. "It's all good, sister - don't even worry about it!" He does grin when she mentions something about chemical engineering, though. "Uhh, you could say I'm pretty good with the chemicals, though."
Val's sideways grin only widens. "Hell yeah." Once Geneva mentions something about calibration, Dr. Valiance claps his hands together. "Uhh, yeah - actually, a business pal came by." That seemed like a fair description of Ambrosia. "We put together a funky little settings meter thingy. Goes all the way up to eleven, y'know." He seems pretty proud of that for whatever reason. "Recommended setting for people is like, four. So, lots of power in that bad boy."
This whole plant thing was an entirely different invention, just one based on existing technologies. "But, uhh - yeah! That's why they're so weird, actually. Got 'em off this guy in Skyside. They're carnivorous, usually sold up there to, uhh... dispose of stuff." He scratches his beard. Was that a strange thing to mention? "Totally safe though, you'd have to like, chop somebody up or whatever." A smile. You're making this worse, Val.
His brows narrow as if in thought. "This isn't even close to being done, though. Once it starts working on people? Hell, this thing's gonna revolutionize all kinds of stuff. I think I'm gonna put that on the box it comes in."
"It does need a name, though..."Last edited by Hattish Thing; 2020-08-14 at 04:47 AM.

"Ain't dumpin' these, missy. Any folk don't want me smokin' in front of 'em, I'll happily oblige and put it out fer 'em, but just walking about and the like, I ain't doing any harm. Though if we're knocking on someone's door, sure, I'll make sure it's put out 'fore we go on in." Not that there's much left of Atreyu's one anyway. He seems to have a knack for making it last a very long time, but there's a limit to his seemingly-unending smoking.
"Can't say I really mind who I go talk to. If y'think one's more lenient than the other, I wouldn't mind talking to the easier-going one. Otherwise, whichever one we bump into first sounds good.!Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

"Nah, don't worry about that. I just meant these ones we were smoking." Anika clarifies with a gesture at her cigg. Hers is out now so she has no problem putting it away. She was going to put it down it the nearest trash bin as she didn't want it anywhere near her clothing. Would probably have to wash out the smell at some point. "But we'll have a visit to Wenomir. He's a cool dude and he might even be able to lend you some clothing for your awesome transformation. He does live at the base actually so he should have clothes around for you if you want any." Anika nods and will lead him to Wenomir's office.

Atreyu and Anika will find Wenomir inside his house, in a rare moment when he's not training, teaching or handling some administrative business or other. He opens the door in sleeveless shirt and shorts, hair unbound and holding a book.
"Hello, Anika. Who's this with you?"

"Yes, I need to see the security footage," Wenomir says quickly. Cessie has rarely seen him this openly nervous. "I have no idea why Svetlana would do it. He must have really provoked her. Where is the footage?"My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

"I'm afraid we might have to ask Dr. Valiance for that as he set it up." She gestures at the medlab. "Honestly, I don't feel like I've had as much control as I've wanted over this entire operation and this might just be the result of it. Miss Takana and Dr. Valiance didn't like one another from the start but something must have happened between them that made them hate one another. Svetlana was accusing Dr. Valiance of quite a few things before she pulled her sword regarding what happened to Obsidian. That seems what set all this off."

Anika looks to Atreyu, seemingly she's expecting him to introduce himself.

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
A Tree
Birds no doubt arrive, at the totally safe tree. After a while, and I hope the tree isn't capable of boredom, one of the birds is an orange hoopoe with a crest of black-tipped feathers and a downwards curved bill. It looks like a bird, it sounds like a bird, it smells like a bird. But that's it. It doesn't think like a bird, or register as a bird on other senses that might be used to determine whether or not it is, in fact, a bird. So it's likely the hoopoe Lapis- I mean, the tree- has been waiting for.
The hoopoe flies around the tree several times, and lands nearby, not within the tree's reach or shade. It hunkers down, spreading its wings and tail low to the ground and tilting its head back to sunbathe. Like a totally normal hoopoe. The tree might think the bird is watching it, because it is. Even when its eyes are looking elsewhere, the hoopoe is watching the tree.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

"In fairness, I don't think either of us expected them to start using guns and swords." Wenomir certainly did think Svetlana had better self-control than that. "What happened to Obsidian does seem to be a fiasco. I'll go talk to him." He abruptly turns towards Valiance and walks towars him briskly. Needless to say, he doesn't look happy. "I'm going to need security footage of what happened here. Do you have it?" he asks, without much in terms of an introduction.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies.
