[16:25] Urano asks, "Love, can you fix for me?"
[16:27] Well!
Daliah was one of the only folks that would've picked up on it.
Embedded deep within her circuitry was hints of [redacted]. As Daliah stares, Shiori's features contort over the course of several emotions:
Awe.
Shock.
Confusion.
Anger.
Each stage quickly coming and going- leaving ripples throughout her body that she was able to discern. She didn't like the feeling of Daliah peering through her like that. No...more so she didn't appreciate being 'scanned'. It felt-
"As have I."
Shiori snaps if only to a minuscule degree.
She takes the opportunity to shift a bit too while she's at it.
Shiori doesn't know what Daliah is capable of...
...But subconsciously she doesn't like it.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[16:28] Xiao Amamiya glances back at Reina and Shiori.
(Xiao Amamiya)
[16:29] Shiori Amamiya exclaims, "You did great, Mom-!"
[16:29] Xiao Amamiya says, "Thank you."
[16:29] Shiori Amamiya says, "You're still the-..."
[16:29] Xiao Amamiya finally powers down...
(Xiao Amamiya)
[16:29] Jango scratches the side of his cheek.
"Aw, geeze. I really didn't do as good as I should have. Uh. Any other cosmic users that are strong?"
(Jango D. Bogard)
[16:29] Shiori Amamiya being near Daliah, shifts a bit.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[16:29] Jango D. Bogard says, "I gotta figure out how to destroy one in particular, haha..."
[16:29] Shiori Amamiya exclaims, "...the coolest!"
[16:29] Xiao Amamiya says, "I didn't exactly perform my best either..."
[16:29] Jango D. Bogard says, "I'm guessing I'm out of luck."
[16:29] Jango D. Bogard says, "Too bad."
[16:29] Jango D. Bogard says, "Too bad, too bad..."
[16:30] Xiao Amamiya says, "I'm out of the best one out in the west at this point, in terms of cosmic ability."
[16:30] Xiao Amamiya says, "If you can handle, odds are you can handle them."
[16:30] Jango D. Bogard asks, "Nngh. Well, does anyone want to train in general?"
[16:30] Jango D. Bogard says, "I just need to fight more."
[16:30] Jango D. Bogard says, "Preferably someone around my level."
[16:30] Shiori Amamiya exclaims, "Brother-!"
[16:30] Reina Amamiya says, "...."
[16:30] Xiao Amamiya asks, "What about Urano or Ophis here?"
[16:30] Urano says, "I'll fight in a bit, I'll need the practice. Two or three years inside my room, didn't made me good."
[16:30] Shiori Amamiya gives Urano a biiiiiiiiiiig Shiori hug.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[16:30] Xiao Amamiya throws them under the bus.
(Xiao Amamiya)
[16:30] Urano says, "I'm just finishing my book..."
[16:30] Ophis says, "I'm just here to watch."
[16:31] Ophis says, "Urano and I are not part of the military here."
[16:31] Xiao Amamiya says, "Awww."
[16:31] Daliah soon crosses her arms and tilts her head lightly, as she soon fastened her blindfold and just spoke freely.
Having little to hide, and hopefully Shiori was sharing a similar mindset nonetheless. But despite it all, she beckoned her over once more.
"Come, Shiori.. Apologies for prying like such, It's just that your aura appeared a bit distraught, foreign even."
As she soon awaited.
"I wish to ask you something."
(Daliah)
[16:31] Shiori Amamiya says, "My brother looks a bit....fatter, Lady Ophis."
[16:31] Shiori Amamiya asks, "Have you been...feeding him- perhaps a little too well?"
[16:31] Urano says, "I'm not fatter, I'm more. Thick. Muscled."
[16:31] Reina Amamiya asks, "Is Urano pregnant?"
[16:31] Ophis asks, "?"
[16:31] Shiori Amamiya asks, "That's what I'm trying to find out?????"
[16:31] Jango replays his recent spar in 4K, shaking his head at his mistakes.
Of course, it was good studying material to keep his mind sharp.
(Jango D. Bogard)
[16:32] Reina Amamiya says, "Ah, Oshun.."
[16:32] Shiori Amamiya says, "Coming...! In a moment, Miss Daliah-"
[16:32] Oshun says, "Greetings."
[16:32] It was done, soldiers , citizen that approach see a improvised watch tower in mdidle of the serenity, watching the movement of soldiers, with a path to surddoung the arena.
It had spikes, trenches, golems that resemble demons, high ground, ligthing artillery, weight pendulums, all ready for make the life of these soliders a hell of a train, just like any fight against atrelya showed up be, Captain serenity made sure the feeling was bottled up and given in this place.

(repost)
(Captain Serenity)
[16:33] Xiao Amamiya says, "Welcome, Ophis."
[16:36] Urano returns to write another page, almost coming to an end.
(Urano)
[16:37] ...Well, sparring plans cancelled...
At least for the moment.
While Jango definitely wanted to just train his brains out until he felt like he was ready to go out and kill his enemies, preparing the troops was far more important!
Despite the borderline murderous thoughts lingering at the back of his mind, he greets enthusiastically strolls up to the medical team and offers them a wave.
"Howdy!"
There was always time to kill his enemies. Preparing the people who could protect and nurture life was was a top priority!
"I was going to go knock some skulls, but I guess I can help. I'm not really good at the medic stuff, but uh, medic guns! I love guns!"
He shrugs. He's not too sure of his own leadership abilities either, but, he isn't sure if anyone else was doing this.
(Jango D. Bogard)
[16:38] Shiori side-eyes Miss Daliah.
Perhaps, a bit defensive!
"The event is starting. Looks like it'll have to wait until after-!"
She beams.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[16:44] Shiori Amamiya looked at cousin Ouka. He didn't realize that Reina was bad at keeping her mouth closed- and keeping secrets too....
(Shiori Amamiya)
[16:45] Ouka Akatsuki feels a storm brewing
(Ouka Akatsuki)
[16:45] Xiao Amamiya says, "Hi, Shinji."
[16:45] Reina Amamiya says, "Hey Shinji."
[16:45] There was no storm.
Merely a slightly indifferent Shiori.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[16:48] Fidgeting with a book in her hand, she kind of struggled to stay focused.
Oh right, and she also chucked three bowls of stir fry over the tent.
...Before making sure they safely landed with some mana control.
She was getting a bit better at that.
Couldn't have the food spill as well too...
That'd be a shame.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[16:50] Nudges the helping that landed before her over to Shinji. She'd trust his cooking over Shiori's any day of the week.
(Reina Amamiya)
[16:50] Ironically, Shiori's cooking was better.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[16:51] 'Jango! lead us you will bee our squad captain' says a soldier gathering others, as captain instructed soon 20 people gather arround jango, 5 from the medical unit and 15 infantary troops, gathering and readying themselves.
Meanwhile 4 other of the elite unit Prometeus were gathering themselves forming squards to attempt the course, 2 man and 2 woman were there, their names... Paul, Samarie, Jack, and guren.
The squards gather at the entrance preparing themselves while captain setenity jumped from the tower with a grin on his face.
"Soldiers, friends, anyone that had any contact be report read or actual eyeing the fights these demons cause? i must say, is a intense experience, so prepare, because will feel just like it." he says.
"Just watch me, if me, a simple man can do it, you all with a amazing teamwork can as well." He says running....
Roll: 10
The first phase of the course, the trenches, several ones dug to make the pass difficult , flown with his stamina control, rushes on them entering and climbing again, they were made distant enough to neglet any attmept of shortcuts, and even added barbed wire with tyrium ore to punish who does that, he manages pass without hurt or tire himself that much.
Roll 12
The lighting attacks! from leaving the trenches soon few spears of defensor are spotted the man rushes to carry one of his arm on his shoulder and reaching a few pillars guns begin shoot without stop over him, flown deplye them on ground, giving him a protection, with precision he needs time the time between attacks in order to continue, while the charges are realoading soo he passes.
Roll 7
The death pendulums
Several pendulums with weighted crushing spiked balls are arround swinging in a fast speed, as much he attemtped time them captain is hit by them several times and barely manages pass, his blood feel the area while he forces himself from it.
Roll 11
The demon swarm.
Several golems from earth and metal are blocking the next part of it the man attacks them while continues his path, without hurting himselfe that much, however the more he attacks the more they continue spwan from the sides and ground, giving a good lost of stamina.
and finnaly the last part
The pit...
A area with a mini boss inside, a mud creature controlled just like golems yet much stronger flown attacks them with his attacks and is attacked as well, he takes a good beat from it while tires, but he finnaly manages fled from it.
He comes filled in dirt blood, and wounds that would heal in a few days.
"Like a walk on the park, focus on team work and you all shall be fine... NOW GO." He says jumping on the tower again staring the squads ....
(Captain Serenity)
[16:51] Shiori Amamiya says, "....Wait what."
[16:52] Shinji Amamiya says, "Hi everyone."
[16:52] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "Hey, kiddo."
[16:53] Reina Amamiya says, "Hey Dad.."
[16:53] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "Hello, kiddo times two."
[16:53] Reina Amamiya says, ".."
[16:53] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "What? I already said it, I'm saying it again."
[16:53] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "Times two."
[16:53] Tatsuya Amamiya asks, "---Did she ran off?"
[16:54] "Oh-! Uhm...ah- haha..."
Shiori nervously laughs at the request. Did he just say for all of them to train as if they were working to death? Her blood ran absolutely cold and her skin ran PALE.
"Oh- OW OW OW...OWIE-! "
Shiori put her hand to her waist, doubling over in 'pain.'
"Rain check! Rain check!"
The girl prepares to walk off as well, offering her dad a smile and shrug. Something was always up with Reina and she often was moody. But maybe it was...his absence?
She'd urge Tatsuya to give chance...
But he should know better to do that without her urging.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[16:54] Shiori Amamiya exclaims, "I'll uhm...be in the clinc!"
[16:55] Shiori Amamiya fake limps off.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[16:55] Tatsuya Amamiya asks, "Umm... okay?"
[16:55] Daliah says, "I just so happen to be headed that way."
[16:56] Squad captain, huh?
Even that name sounds odd to him.
He's done his best in Serenity to shrug off any sort of responsibilities that may have had him directly in the care of people's lives, or any political affairs. To some extent, it's cowardly.
He can admit that.
He hates being in boring, stuffy meetings, and he hates the thought of feeling like a failure because he may lead his own squad astray.
It's a crippling fear born out of his worry that he wasn't good enough... which was silly, considering the accolades he's accumulated in the West, but he's single for a reason.
"Alright, Team! Let's do it!" He exclaims triumphantly, issuing orders like nobody's business.
Maybe he's a natural at this, or maybe he's just learned from people far more competent than he is; either way, the best marksman in the west continues to press on through the trenches.
"We can do this, guys! Remember what you're fighting for!"
...And, luckily enough, it seems as though his motivation is actually working as they power their way through this.
(Jango D. Bogard)
[16:56] Daliah says, "Let's go to the clinic, Shiori,"
[16:56] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "You two take care then."
[16:56] Shiori Amamiya says, "...."
[16:56] Cletus Klein says, "Ah--what a crowd.,"
[16:56] Shiori Amamiya turns back at Dad, before sighing, hanging her head.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[16:57] Shiori Amamiya says, "Do check on Reina."
[16:57] Daliah says, "In its due time."
[16:57] Tatsuya blinking a few times to Shiori's reaction which seems to be apparently in confusion on what's with the set mood he came back to....
(Tatsuya Amamiya)
[16:57] Shiori Amamiya says, "Pssssst. Cletus. Stick around if you wanna die. Captain Serenity wants to kill us all."
[16:58] Shiori Amamiya whispers loudly to Cletus!
(Shiori Amamiya)
[16:58] Cletus Klein blinks.
(Cletus Klein)
[16:58] Cletus Klein says, "Uhhherrrr. Noted."
[16:58] Shiori Amamiya asks, "...Ready?"
[17:01] [TRANSCEIVER]
{SereneCT} Daliah transmits: "Rued, I need your assistance in the Clinic."
[17:05] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "Shinji. Come here."
[17:07] Shinji Amamiya asks, "Yes dad?"
[17:11] landed on: 2
Paul rushes with his squad he took the lead there, checking the trenches with it, and guiding others on a better path, the trenches filled with mud and slippery dirst to make their life the more hard possible, some of their squad trips and hurts themselves, barely being able cross trenche by trenche.
landed on: 1
Samarie goe the worst luck, the momment her unit passes, they trigger the first trap placed, and a small explosion sends them away, making much harder for them and scaring the shit of them, their unit is on a mess being unable and getting stuck for now on the trenches.
Captain serenity eyes lock on them while their are struggeling.
"You never truly knwo what war is hidding, recover the composture and keep foward!, remember the trainning." He was not joking, several hidden traps he havent mentioned were there for give that taste of war.
landed on: 2
Jack just like paul, struggle a bit with the slippery grounds and barely escapes the trenches without triggering trap, he even saw one almost touching it but on last second he paused and avoided his team from doing the same...
landed on: 3
Guren shows more of a team work as the woman actually does a scan of mana on the area before entering the trenches, she was able detect the after trails the mana left after seeing the other efforts and passes.
A eye of dissapointment see stare all the teams so far, not only samarie one, seems like something bothered him, jango wish his skills and charisma seem be working their path alongside this, he could see clearly samarie having a hard time.
Captain eye continue stare, as the other two teams make their ways on the lightiing attacks! most of the front soldiers are grabbing the defensor spears ontheir shoulders while they march foward..
(Captain Serenity)
[17:16] His hand reached out to pat Shinji's head for a moment and letting off a shake of his head.
(Tatsuya Amamiya)
[17:17] Shinji Amamiya merely looks downward, with his eyes baggy. He clearly didn't get much sleep, and was tired.
(Shinji Amamiya)
[17:20] Perhaps this wasn't blind luck after all.
As they continue to make their way through the course, it's clear that his team has the stamina and drive to keep going - perhaps because of the motivation he's been giving them the entire time. If a scrawny marksman like him could do this, they were no doubt thinking they could pull off the same too!
"Come on, guys! Let's deploy those spears!"
He trusts in his squad, just as they trust in him. Leadership definitely wasn't his style, and likely wouldn't ever be, but it was nice to know that if he was ever forced to take the reigns, he wasn't a complete disaster at this.
"As long as we work together and believe in ourselves, there's nothing we can't accomplish!"
(Jango D. Bogard)
[17:25] Tatsuya gazes upon Xiao and shakes his head with one hundred percent certainty behind it.
(Tatsuya Amamiya)
[17:25] Xiao Amamiya nods, trusting his belief.
(Xiao Amamiya)
[17:25] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "Mortimer prefers to be more direct with me than indirect."
[17:26] Xiao Amamiya says, "Huh..."
[17:34] Paul rolled 5:
As the first squad that got there the paul squad spread arround the spears taking they did a formation that the carries marked a trapeze while they walked in fast pace foward, the sudden movements on that area triggered the pillars to get active and begun shut the lighting attacks. his squad skillfuly deployes them on ground, the collective lines form a barrier of holy mana absolving all the ligtings.
They keep carrying the spears with them after moving past.
Jack rolled : 5
on the other hand thinks out of the box, he realized some areas they would need walk had bifurcations on the path, and with the collaborative effort they toss the spears far away on those paths, making a path of spears as his whole squade moved, every ligthing shoot was protected by one of the spears and removed they each one passed.
Jango: 5
Jango much like others skillfuly with hours of train deploy the spears forming the holy protection from the lightings, he guides his pace, jango keep motivating them and his natural luck makes the morale of the team boost up, they refuse let the spears go after this with a good feeling about this!
Samarie rolled: 1
It started rain... on desert? more water was acumulating on the trenches and for samarie unluck some cross fired lightings reached straight to the trenches... the spread of his attack on it triggered several from the last mines, yet her squad was close escaped by very little from taking more damage... fear and shook seems take their face as the doctors attempt calm down the other soldiers.
Captain serenity glaze seems continue with dissapointment, staring all the squads again, was becoming less and more becomming anger... until Guren finnaly does what every idiot there should be doing from the begin.
Guren rolled:6
The woman itself grasped one spear and tossed on the trenches direction, avoiding futher cross fire mess even more, her squad returned to assistsamarie ones, each out of them scounting them out of it safely, back to the ligthing they form a massive wall of ligthings with the collaborative effrot of both squads , making this part pass without difficultie
Captain let a single grin out of it...
They were moving to the death pendulums now... a area filled with obstacles and moving weights that on hit would crush them, they need both timing and creativity to mass this.

cd 4 for samarie.
(Captain Serenity)
[17:34] Urano nod.
(Urano)
[17:34] Urano says, "Thank you, love."
[17:34] Urano asks, "You liked it, though?"
[17:34] Ophis says, "Mmhm. I did. It was good."
[17:34] Urano says, "I'm almost finishing."
[17:36] Tatsuya Amamiya asks, "Hm... I say we'll get started training soon. I know you have an affinity of fire, is that right?"
[17:36] Shinji Amamiya says, "Yes, I do."
[17:37] Xiao Amamiya says, "Mm."
[17:37] Xiao Amamiya says, "He's been doing quite well, too."
[17:38] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "Good.... Your big advantage over me is that you're more focused one on magic than you are focusing on both your physical and magical capabilities... you're less likely to go running into attacks and you're honing your spells."
[17:39] "Just do it! Deep breaths and become a master of timing!" He exclaims triumphantly, boosting his team's morale through the roof. They were running on the high of good feelings and confidence as his soldiers bob and weave their way past the pendulums like their lives depended on it...
Which, given the name and how dangerous they looked, they might actually have... but thankfully, nobody even got clipped!
"We're almost to the end, guys! Don't let up now, and don't start taking it easy! Even though we've had a great time so far, don't forget that in a war things can go wrong in a blink of an eye!"
(Jango D. Bogard)
[17:40] Shinji Amamiya says, "If you want, I can try to show you firsthand. I already did it a bit with Jango."
[17:42] Tatsuya lets off a small hum before nodding his head for a moment.
"Alright, lets see what you got then. I want to see how you do."
(Tatsuya Amamiya)
[17:47] Seems like guren finnaly inspired some sense on these troops, working together insitead against each one, on the big day , they will need act and think like one for the sake of all, even if boosted by competitivity, this is a trainning for war after all.
Jango squad guided by thim avoid all of the moving pendulums, he even shoot one that barely touhced a medic, not breaking but deflecting it! allowed was never against the rules.
'We still got plenty gas! we will reach the boss without much damage or fatigue' says one of the soldiers to jango with some exicment...
Paul:4
Jack:4
Guren:6
Samarie:5
In a collaborative effort samarie squad moves dodiging the deadly spiked pendulums while were cleaning the path, her efforts make the path better for the next ones that shall go, she flinches a single spear on middle of the path where the pendulums were more wild providing a shield temporaly....
Samarie assied by guren again seems continuemoving , her medics team shooting darts on the few bumps that are able hit their, mitigaging her pain a bit, as they will need for next part...
Jack and paul seem benefit from the other 2 effort without lose much, if they really wanted reach and pass the next 2 phasees teamwork from all would be needed...
The demonic horde.
Several demons made of earth and metal as golem are swarming the next area to the point they make a sea, is barely impossible make pass them without engaging in combat, if one alone would be hard imagine a squad...
CD:6
Guren and samarie seems be discussing tatics, while jack and paul engaged foolishly.
(Captain Serenity)
[17:58] The difficulty of the courses were definitely starting to get to his squad, as much as his cheers and motivation were keeping them in the 'game' so to speak consistency wise. There was only so much the body could take in such a short period of time, after all, and he would never blame them for any issues and struggles they might have through the course - all he wanted to do was make sure they got through this in the best possible condition.
"Alright team! Remember your tactics! Cut them off and use your numbers advantage! Command your range advantage whenever possible!" He barks out a string of orders, pleased to see that despite it all, his team was pulling through...
Exhausted.
Very, very exhausted, but they were managing!
"Come on guys, we're pretty much at the end! I just need you all to hold it together a little longer, alright?! Think of the families and friends you're fighting for!"
(Jango D. Bogard)
[18:13] Zix Oy-Deniz says, ". . ."
[18:13] Zix Oy-Deniz asks, "What happenz?"
[18:15] Zix Oy-Deniz waves his arms.
(Zix Oy-Deniz)
[18:15] Captain Serenity says, "Trainning drill."
[18:16] Zix Oy-Deniz asks, "Can participate?"
[18:16] Captain Serenity says, "Sure."
[18:21] Urano says, "Love."
[18:21] Ophis asks, "Yes?"
[18:24] Daliah says, "Phew."
[18:26] Oshun asks, "MMM?"
[18:26] Daliah asks, "How are you faring, Oshun?"
[18:27] As expected, this part was designed to tired them out, the large ammount of golems there, was to simulate the demonic horders they would face, and even with much hard work, one would need a high performance to leave there without scratchs or even... fadige.
Paul:1
The man foollyrushed first with his squad without take much attecntion, they attacked and sliced several golems opening path, but the area seems show his goal, more and more keep comming from the arrounds, before he could tell he was swarmed without being able continue advancing, and more more wasting their energies...
Jack:3
He used from paul distraction and gathering of creatures to try a different path, however he is struck for a while cleaning the hords on their path, after much struggle their squad is able to move.
Samarie and guren used the brain a bit, if they got maybe the help of other squad, they could all make a colalborative effort and everyone pass, but their performance werent very well unlieke paul they dont got stuck on the sea of golems, that keep popping up to tired them again and again.
At last the pit
The boss area.
A large golem of mud if on that area messing with it, and from the watch tower flown as well jumps in, readying his gloves for fight.
His eyes are targeting exactaly the medic units his goal is take them down and take down the whole squads, he gets ready for fighting...

[18:31] Oshun says, "I'm doing well, some of the works in which we've spent some time in are finally being finished."
[18:31] Daliah says, "If you need an extra set of hands, I'm always avaliable."
[18:31] Daliah asks, "Have you seen our new tower?"
[18:33] Cletus Klein says, "Oh--Oshunn."
[18:33] Cletus Klein says, "When y'need more runework, let me know. I'm lettin' Little Miss Reina here shadow me so she can get some work with advanced rune work."
[18:33] Cletus Klein says, "Just as Basil taught me, ahah."

(Captain Serenity)
[18:35] Geez.
It seemed like an almost endless army was after them now! But here, they were going to have to learn how to manage their stamina and keep pressing forward with Jango's guidance. They were so close to the finish line right now, and the Bogard simply just needed to issue the right commands to make sure everyone got out of here in one piece.
No big deal, right?
Paul was down for now, but at least he had the others to work with.
"Medics! Work on healing Samarie and her squad, ASAP!" He exclaims.
"Everyone else, focus your assaults on the main man himself!", directing the rest of the soldiers to attack the 'boss'.
(Jango D. Bogard)
[18:36] Oshun says, "Ah, very well, I shall keep such in mind son."
[18:36] Oshun says, "And new tower? No."
[18:36] Daliah says, "Its not far from here."
[18:39] Cletus Klein says, "It's quite th'sight...really feels like Serenity's on th'verge of needin' a proper expansion--y'know, when we ain't dealin' with war."
[18:39] Daliah says, "Mhm, I need to furnish it, I'll be a garrison of sorts."
[18:39] Inalla Evren says, "There is a suprising amount of people here.."
[18:39] Inalla Evren says, "More than usual."
[18:40] Daliah says, "A good spot to hold a defensive position asides from our very gates,"
[18:41] Oshun says, "Show me it then."
[18:44] Cletus Klein says, "Erhh--Inalla? --Oh, yer' in the tent."
[18:44] Inalla Evren waves from her little tent
(Inalla Evren)
[18:44] Cletus Klein says, "And...aye, these folks're having quite th'training regiment."
[18:44] Cletus Klein gave a somewhat light-hearted clap for the two and their Squad.
(Cletus Klein)
[18:46] Cletus Klein says, "Bwu--hooowdy Rih."
[18:46] Rihtas Mooney says, "Greetings."
[18:46] Cletus Klein rubbed his chin....
(Cletus Klein)
[18:47] Cletus Klein asks, "Reina, y'meet Rihtas proper, yet?"
[18:47] Cletus Klein leaned back, pointing between the two lasses.
(Cletus Klein)
[18:47] Reina Amamiya says, "I don't think so."
[18:48] Reina Amamiya exclaims, "Nice to meet you, Miss Rhitas! I'm Reina Amamiya, Tatsuya and Xiao's daughter. One of four kids they have. And Cletus is my runemancy teacher!"
[18:48] Reina Amamiya exclaims, "I'm a dualcrafter and wanna make a giant railgun on a pair of big treads I've named the DummyTrellyan Destroyer Mach 3!"
[18:49] Cletus Klein says, "...A-hah..."
[18:50] Shinji Amamiya says, "It doesn't have to be short..."
[18:50] Xiao Amamiya asks, "So? Did things go well...?"
[18:51] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "Exceedingly well."
[18:51] Xiao Amamiya says, "Great."
[18:52] Cletus Klein says, "Good fer ye'."
[18:52] Xiao Amamiya kisses Tatsuya upon his cheek, before moving to Shinji and rubbing his head gently.
(Xiao Amamiya)
[18:52] Shiori Amamiya says, ".............."
[18:52] Shiori Amamiya catches the PDA. Side-eyes.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[18:52] Cletus Klein says, "Weelcome back, Shiori."
[18:53] Rihtas Mooney says, "This one is Rihtas Mooney. Nice to meet you - though she's yet to meet the rest of Reina's siblings."
[18:53] Cletus Klein says, "A-Ha! What wonderful timing."
[18:53] Shinji Amamiya scrunches under the headpat, though doesn't recluse. He looks better than he did yesterday.
(Shinji Amamiya)
[18:53] Shiori Amamiya says, "Did you just talk to yourself in-"
[18:53] Shiori Amamiya felt WEIRD.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[18:55] Rarely, was Cletus Klein extra.
But, Rihtas was a exception.
"She didn't quite set herself up, so let me. Rihtas here is m'muse, and why I am as honed as I am. A real...stellar, cosmic mage. N' a fierce as flame lass iffn' I've ever met one." At Shiori's comment, he'd laugh! "That she did, it's how her tribe spoke. N' its lovely."
What a solidly firm change of face for the otherwise passive faced cowpoke.
"Reina n' Shiori here, are two of them--and tha' strappin' young man over yonder is their brother."
(Cletus Klein)
[18:56] Cletus Klein --would, on that note, use one arm each to yoink each sibling. offering a brief hug before releasing them.
(Cletus Klein)
[18:56] The medics from jango squad follow in order to heal samarie with their dart guns, shooting them with precision, assisting in numb the pain, meanwhile, the other squads from jack and guren followed jango instructions as well, were all fighting the same enemy now.
Golem roll :3
Their attempts to attack are failed as the golem covered itself in a barrier of strong earth only breakint it down, he swung his hands trying smash them , however he failed in attack... leaving no people harmed this time.
"Dont forget me here." Captain flashes arround aiming guren squad speficially, he fails in attacks the medics that kite them without a problem being welcomed with several swords hitting his armor and hitting him...
He fails and takes a damage from that...
Captain hp: 2.
Yet seeing jack squad dodge he seeks a opotrunity, dealing several attacks on the medical unit, flown is able put most of them down, he was testing if the medics were well skilled in avoid him however he with sucess knock most of them down.
when flown attacks he disable a medical unit for a round he rolled 20 so jack medical unit is fainted.
Paul with struggle arrives on the field tired... he is offering his aid for jango a well, what the man would do?
(Captain Serenity)
[18:57] Grins, returning Cletus's hug. Sticking her tongue out at Rhitas playfully and giving the lady a cheeky wink. "I'm gonna be stealing Cletus a lot and helping him out with projects as part of my runemancy training. I honestly couldn't ask for a more rootinest tootinest teacher!"
(Reina Amamiya)
[18:59] Once more, Jango commands his group to assault as best as he could. The fatigue was getting to them for sure, but they were going to need to push past their tired bodies as much as they possibly could if they wanted to win this.
"Keep the attacks up!" He commands squadrons, hoping that they could take down the Golem sooner rather than later. For now, they were going to need to be focused on pure offense - even Paul!
"We just gotta bring this one home!"
(Jango D. Bogard)
[19:00] Shinji Amamiya gives a small wave and smile acknowledging Cletus and Rihtas. Still in energy saving mode.
(Shinji Amamiya)
[19:01] Cletus Klein nodded to Shiori! Smiling a bit.
(Cletus Klein)
[19:01] Shiori gave Cletus a longer, extended hug. She outdid Reina, naturally. And then offered Rhitas a smile. "Trust me, I don't want that old codger."
"Youuuu can have aaaaall of him."
Leaning in, she whispered.
"And Reina's like no bite- no weight anyway. Just blow on her."
(Shiori Amamiya)
[19:02] "Yes, Rihtas' entire tribe from the Wastelands spoke like this - because we are not one. They called us constellations, meaning we were a 'group'. Thus, we did not have the concept of referring to the self." The Felinae's short explanation would have led to a shake of the head, and then glancing towards Reina with a sharp-toothed smile.
"Pffft." Rihtas snurfed, seemingly amused by her statement.
"Cletus is one of the best teachers that you could have gotten. She is sure that you will learn well of the arts. Rihtas can help teach too, though." She added, "And not just Cosmic. This one is also a runecaster."
(Rihtas Mooney)
[19:02] Daliah says, "Cletus is getting a bit too popular."
[19:02] Reina Amamiya says, "Finally someone not taken in by Shiori's bullshit."
[19:02] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "Language."
[19:02] Xiao Amamiya says, "Language."
[19:03] Shiori Amamiya stuck up the middle finger at Reina, yet steathily. She had class.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[19:03] Rihtas Mooney says, "Yes, well, Rihtas has always had first dibs."
[19:03] Shinji Amamiya merely sighed at his siblings' infighting. They were at it again.
(Shinji Amamiya)
[19:03] Rihtas Mooney says, "The original, if you would."
[19:03] Shiori Amamiya says, "Anyway- some of us are.......Reina-like. However, you'll find no better ally than myself. I promise that much, Missus Mooney."
[19:05] Cletus Klein says, "...Bweheh."
[19:05] Shiori Amamiya acquired her hand...fore a smooch on the back of the palm! Refined-! Or well...she went above and beyond when Reina made her show out.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[19:05] An honest smile forms on her face, as she flat out ignores Shiori. "I like you already, Miss Rhitas. I look forward to help you out if you need it too. I've been pairing time and gravity with my cosmic magic. I think it'll be of more use in crafting than combat. Which is good, since Shinji is the combat expert of us four so far."
Good to know Shiori is back to normal. I'm already regretting ever worrying over her health and safety after watching her get mauled." A blank stare leveled to Shiori, words dripping nothing but truth.
(Reina Amamiya)
[19:07] Paul: 2 = 0
Samarie: 7 = 5
Jack:18 = 16
Guren: 13 = 12
Jango:14 = 13
3 from the squads sucessfully attack the golem! , they able deplete a lot from his health, as his strucutre begin fall....
Golem rolled: 2
The intense attacks from the soldiers slowed down his movements, as the swords and the magics broke most of his body, the golem is unable cause any harm to anyone beside captain...
Is is sent flying away by one of the swings of the golem hitting the wall and getting on feet back again at a fast pace, he rushes to the medical unit from Paul, and misses all his attacks, he smiles seeging them took to heart the fundaments of waterfall fist into their defense, this would be needed on the war as they need protect others.
Yer for paul squad? the man flows arround giving a barrage of attacks on them, disabling their movements for a bit, he marches slowly towards jango with violent intents on his eyes, as both him and the golem are close to fall...
Only jack squad can attempt heal.... flown and golem posses 1 hp, its time..
(Captain Serenity)
[19:08] Tatsuya Amamiya asks, "I say it's good that she recovered to a degree.... But at last, I hope we learn something from that, no?"
[19:08] Tatsuya would say that with a half-lidded gazed to his kids.
(Tatsuya Amamiya)
[19:08] "We're about to do it! Let's bring this one home!" With any luck, this difficult training drill would come to an end, and the squads he was commanding would be all the more experienced for it. "Just one last push guys! I promise!" He exclaims, urging them to unleash a final barrage of attacks that would overwhelm both Flown and the Golem at the same time.
They couldn't give the opponent even a single moment of recovery!
(Jango D. Bogard)
[19:08] Xiao Amamiya lets papa bear handle this...
(Xiao Amamiya)
[19:08] --And on that note.
TWAP.
A gentle, but chiding enough little twap was given to the back of Reina's head.
...And then the same to Shiori. No scolding, beyond such. But a rather flat stare that shifted between them.
Thankfully, he wasn't feeling more conniving.
"...Aye. Rihtas is--well, her whole thing is th'stars--not unlike ye'mother. Though, while Xiao is keen on Gala, Rihtas here is all about Leonaus. Which--is part o'that little project I told y'about Reina." And in the mentioning of the project...
"Hey, Rih? Do y'have the Compass on ye'? Figure th'kiddos could take a look at it. Th'first real creation o'mister Cletus Klein, here." A prideful puff--but, despire Rihtas saying it herself. He had to aswell.
"Rihtas has first dibs. Yes."
(Cletus Klein)
[19:09] Rihtas Mooney coughed up a dragon radar.
(Rihtas Mooney)
[19:10] Oshun yawned, deciding to simply watch the training.
(Oshun)
[19:10] Reina Amamiya exclaims, "Whoa!"
[19:10] Reina Amamiya exclaims, "That's supercool!"
[19:10] Xiao Amamiya says, "Super cool."
[19:10] Xiao Amamiya says, "I helped with that~"
[19:10] Shiori Amamiya says, "...Mom."
[19:10] Cletus Klein exclaims, "Well, y'mother he--thaT!"
[19:10] Tatsuya Amamiya asks, "... Huh?... What's that?"
[19:10] Shiori Amamiya says, "Some sort...er- thingajingy~."
[19:11] Reina Amamiya says, "A super cool thing Mom helped make."
[19:11] Rihtas Mooney says, "It is a star compass."
[19:11] Cletus Klein says, "A Star Map, t'help Rihtas when she goes star-hoppin'."
[19:11] Xiao Amamiya says, "Mm."
[19:11] Reina Amamiya exclaims, "That's so cool!"
[19:11] Rihtas Mooney says, "Lets me find stars."
[19:11] Shiori Amamiya asks, "Interest- wait star-hopping?"
[19:11] Xiao Amamiya says, "Essenitally a mobile star map, yes."
[19:11] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "Oh-"
[19:11] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "I think you mentioned that before years ago."
[19:11] Xiao Amamiya says, "Sure did."
[19:12] Xiao Amamiya says, "It was a lot of fun to make."
[19:12] Cletus Klein smiled a bit, tipping his hat down.
(Cletus Klein)
[19:13] Cletus Klein says, "Aherm...anyways."
[19:13] Cletus Klein says, "I'm glad t'know I'm a family friend w'so many Cosmic Mages--oughta' make th'work on yer' Tome a bit easier."
[19:19] Cletus Klein says, "Argh--Shiori, gimme' a quick flex 'fore you go."
[19:19] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "Yeah, flex the guns."
[19:19] Xiao Amamiya exclaims, "Go ahead!"
[19:20] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "Wooo..."
[19:20] Xiao Amamiya asks, "Right?"
[19:20] Shiori Amamiya asks, "You want me to...flex my guns?"
[19:20] Shiori Amamiya says, ",,,"
[19:20] Cletus Klein says, "Just-"
[19:20] Xiao Amamiya exclaims, "Yes!"
[19:20] Cletus Klein says, "Push out yer' mana."
[19:20] Shiori Amamiya flexed. Weird request but...she flexed a taste of that mana I suppose.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[19:21] Cletus Klein says, "Hohooooh."
[19:21] Shiori Amamiya asks, "Is that all?"
[19:21] Cletus Klein says, "Yeah, I can work with that."
[19:21] Cletus Klein says, "I'll fix yer' up something."
[19:21] Shiori Amamiya says, "Got it."
[19:21] Shiori Amamiya exclaims, "Thanks Cletus~!"
[19:21] Cletus Klein exclaims, "Course!"
[19:21] Shiori Amamiya gave him a quick hug for the road.
(Shiori Amamiya)
[19:22] Cletus Klein hugged her, chuckling
(Cletus Klein)
[19:22] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "Hm... You're definitely getting there."
[19:22] Shiori Amamiya gave Mom a quick kiss on the cheek! Dad didn't give her one back...
(Shiori Amamiya)
[19:22] Shiori Amamiya says, "Mwah."
[19:22] Shiori Amamiya says, "Aaand I'm gone."
[19:24] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "Hm... I'm seeing the order of who is a little further. You guys aren't too far apart on magical prowess."
[19:24] Through grit, tenacity, and sheer determination, despite the mounting fatigue that his soldiers were feeling, they start to pull ahead in the battle with tactical acumen and a numbers advantage guiding them. "Remember what you're fighting for!" He exclaims triumphantly as the soldiers break through the Golem's guard and attack its weakpoints, while also bypassing Flown's defense!
It was the perfect strategy implemented...
They were pretty much all exhausted at this point, but hey, he wasn't sure WHAT would have happened if he gave the enemies a chance to rest up.
It definitely would've been bad news.
"Woooo!" He fist pumps the air, surprised his first real time leading so many people actually went well.
"That was great, everyone! I better get my own practice in with some spars..."
(Jango D. Bogard)
[19:24] Xiao Amamiya says, "Mm."
[19:25] Cletus Klein says, "...Y'got some real strong tykes, fer' sure."
[19:25] Xiao Amamiya exclaims, "You betcha!"
[19:25] Tatsuya Amamiya says, "I'm comfortable that they got this far into this. Very."
[19:25] Xiao Amamiya says, "Agreed."
[19:25] Shinji Amamiya says, "Oh right, I'm up to train more if anybody wants."
[19:28] Cletus Klein says, "Ah, right...Rihtas, Rued showed me somethin' real intersting t'day."
[19:28] Cletus Klein says, "Might try and...reverse engineer it, fer' cosmic-related Magic."
[19:29] Rihtas Mooney asks, "Mm? Reverse-engineering something specifically for cosmic magic? What exactly was it, in that case?"
[19:30] Cletus Klein exclaims, "Well!"
[19:30] Cletus Klein says, "It was a ol' book about Batkin rituals--they used them for...how t'put it in simple terms."
[19:30] Cletus Klein says, "Moonlight Rituals."
[19:30] Cletus Klein says, "I was thinkin' I could refashiion it, fer' Starlight."
[19:31] Reina Amamiya says, "Oh right. Mom, King Silvanas let me read a couple of super cool books. One on ancient magics, and one on lunar rites and rituals and he let me look at a Barburgian blueprint that's incomplete."
[19:31] Cletus Klein says, "...After some trial n' error."
[19:31] Xiao Amamiya asks, "That's right. They were fun to read?"
[19:31] Reina Amamiya exclaims, "More than fun!"
[19:31] Xiao Amamiya asks, "Super fun?"
[19:31] Cletus Klein says, "Ah--right. That too. When Atrelleya is gone, I was thinkin' about visitin' what's left of Barsburg..."
[19:31] Rihtas Mooney asks, "Well, Moonlight itself can be used as cosmic energy. Did you know this?"
[19:31] Cletus Klein says, "--"
[19:31] Cletus Klein exclaims, "Did not!"
[19:31] Rihtas Mooney says, "It can be."
[19:31] Captain Serenity has inflicted an injury upon Captain Serenity. ("Trainning drill Fadige", "Several bruises over body from puncture, contudent, ligthing, and magical attacks are spreaded on the body of someone that walked the trainning course, pain followed every move and breath for a few months.... Besides your left leg is broken after a intense boss assisting a mud golem, that attacked you by accident and broke it.", "Temporary", "Duration: Short (1 day)")

[19:31] Cletus Klein says, "Gosh yer' smart."
[19:31] Captain and the golem are defeated on battle, he stands knocked down for a few momments, he eventually gathers energies to get up and claps for the conclusion of the trainning, he says looking at all them happy , celebraing their victory.
"yayyy hehehe, why are you all happy? as far i know despite guren, you all failed." He says crossing his arm waking with the help of a stick, his leg was broken.
"You may had completed the trainning but as fair i saw, when samarie was on trenches being exploded you all ignored her to keep going foward, that kind of mentality on wat or outside of it can bring to death." He says leaving the area.
"So as far you all feel the taste of victory, know you still need improve as a whole, we dont win this in small chunks of people but a a whole army instead." His mask falls off, while he makes his way home.
