Lost in Algetty

My name is Alfador. I am the feline companion of Janus, the Prince of Zeal. Yes, I am a cat. Do not doubt my ability to use english. I am part of the Chronorp group, but you can ask me questions if you like. If you want me to see something, tag it alfadorthecat. I am currently in the Crystal Barrow.

30 Days of Character Development - Days 16-20

Day 16 - Are there any blood relatives that your character is particularly close with, besides the immediate ones? Cousins, Uncles, Grandfathers, Aunts, et cetera. Are there any others that your character practically considers a blood relative?  Day 17 - What’s your character’s desk/workspace look like? Are they neat or messy?

Day 18 - Is your character a good cook? What’s their favorite recipe, whether they’re good or not? (Microwave mac-and-cheese applies.)

Day 19 - What’s your character’s preferred means of travel? 

Day 20 - Does your character have any irrational fears?

Day 16 - Alfador has no blood relatives that he knows personally. He assumes that if they are not dead, then they know nothing of him and thus he should not dwell on whether or not they care about him. He considers Janus to be as close to family as possible, and thus Schala and his friendship with her extends that sentiment.

Day 17 - His desk is essentially whichever niche is his bed or wherever he is sitting at the time, since his only real work is thinking and he can't write. He very much dislikes clutter; it distracts him. If something is not in its place, he assumes that he must have forgotten to do something or that someone was infringing on his space.

Day 18 - Because Alfador lacks the benefit of opposable thumbs, he cannot cook. However, he does have some limited knowledge of hunting small creatures that mostly relies on his instincts for doing so.

Day 19 - alfadorthecar Walking, mostly. Though he is alright with being carried by an extremely select few people.

Day 20 - spiders and water and being touched by people he doesn't trust or like Not really. They are more irrational dislikes than anything because he can still tolerate their presence, he just consciously avoids them.

A Haunted House Mystery!

[alfadorthecat]

"Indeed it is, Marcy…" I stare deeply into the strange portal thing, wondering at the feelings welling up in me as I do so. "I… I feel like I have seen one of these phenomena before…" Suddenly nervous, I look downwards as I try to sort through these emotions and discover their cause. "Have you seen one?"

[marcystrings]

"I never see this kind of phenomena before.. what it is exactly alfador? do we need something to activate it?" Said the little one looking and examining the extrange thing "i wonder what this is.. why is here"

[alfadorthecat]

"As do I... There must be some way to activate it, as you say... If not there would not be a dire need to protect it..." Suddenly, I have a moment of realization. "The sword... perhaps the sword has some kind of trigger in it or something similar..."

Fairy Dangerous Adventure!

[fairyrazzly]

The little fairy wasn’t too far from Alfador, keeping quite easily with the cat. Hearing his ask, she looked around for a moment.

"Well, I’ve seen the one in Viper Manor back at El Nido, but here? I’m not sure about how it looks like! Will it be a little house or a huge place like the one we can see from here?"

And in fact there really was a huge place, much like a mansion, on the right from the wooden board place. Pointing at it, Razzly was trying to look at it. But she couldn’t tell from here if it was a library or not…

"Is there something that will tell us that’s a library? A sign? I’ve never went to a city before so I don’t know much of how it works!"

[alfadorthecat]

"There should be some sort of sign telling us that it is a library, otherwise the place would have no one coming into it at all. We can check that building; it seems big enough to be a library." I trot over to the large structure, then wait for her to catch up.

Are they allowing people inside? It seems relatively deserted for this time of day. "Are the doors unlocked? I cannot tell from here, but it does not seem to be open at the moment..."

Dredging the Barrows // (w/ AlfadorTheCat)

[janusmagus]

"Are you done? What the hell do you want from me?" the now disheveled prophet blurted out as he stared directly at the feline.

"Don’t you have some place to be? Go find your owner or something. Scram.” he made a shooing gesture with his hands.

The prophet looked directly at the feline waiting for it to leave.

It does awfully look like Alfador for a demon. I see, magic is getting more advanced.

[alfadorthecat]

"I am not finished, no. I want to know who you are and why I am continuously asked about you.”

Looking him over, I wonder at his hostility. I am not exactly threatening… Why is he so eager to get away from me?

"Were you asking for me somewhere? Or are you just going to continue ignoring me and running?"

[janusmagus]

"I don’t even know who you are. Why would anyone associate us? It sounds like you’re getting bad information." he stated.

"You’re a cat, you shouldn’t even be talking let alone, having others talk to you. Do you know what they do to talking cats? They get pulled apart and dissected." the prophet now got into a darker tone and began to warn the feline.

"If you value your life, you’ll stop talking publicly to people."

[alfadorthecat]

I narrow my eyes and cock my head. "Why... why are you warning me about that? How long do you think I have lived near humans? I am not nearly as naive as you seem to be suggesting." Edging closer, I move out of the street and into the small alley. "There are far too many fiends in this world for them to think I am anything different even if they do hear me."

30 Days of Character Development - Day 15

Is your character an early morning bird or a night owl?

Alfador is definitely a night owl. Sneaking around and getting into business he shouldn't be involved in is a bit of a hobby of his; he eavesdrops and spies on people who interest him in some way shape or form. However, he isn't exactly the one who sleeps in for hours, either. He can wake up early in the if need be - he simply doesn't unless he needs to.

Fairy Dangerous Adventure!

[alfadorthecat]

"I am Alfador, of the kingdom of Zeal. I… would rather follow along behind you. Falling from that height is not something I am very willing to risk any time soon."

Jumping down from the bench, I step in front of the green fairy, looking up at her.

"I believe I remember the way well enough to lead you there, if you are prepared to follow."

[fairyrazzly]

"No worries, I understand!" She smiled to Alfador.

"Then let’s go, maybe we’ll find libraries on our way? Our maybe there is a huuuuge one with loooots of informations somewhere! Larger than the one in Viper Manor, I’m fairy sure!"

She then follow the kitty in the crowd, keeping track of his purple fur. Sure, he was fast, but flying was easy for zigzaging between passerby. She left some green sparkles behind her, adding to the already magical atmosphere of the place.

"We’re going on an adventuuuure, Tee~hee!"

[alfadorthecat]

Well she is quite the chipper one, I hope she is not exceedingly annoying in her perkiness and cheer… I suppose that will not necessarily keep us from getting along, though. After all, I thought the same thing about Marcy when I had first met her.

I hurry through the different groups of people, dashing out from underfoot more often than not. Though I am a bit frightened of being stepped on, I run onwards. Realizing I may have lost her at this speed, I look back over my shoulder at Razzly to ensure she has kept up with me.

"Have you seen any libraries yet, Razzly?"

[alfadorthecat]

A Haunted House Mystery!

[alfadorthecat]

Curious, I take a couple steps towards the door and cock my head, listening for any voices or footfalls coming from within the massive stone walls. “Do you think someone is already inside?”  I cautiously poke my head inside, trying to be as stealthy and silent as possible.

[marcystrings]

Marcy carefully follow Alfador inside the castle. She examine around but nobody cant be seem “Strange.. there’s nothing around her…” she walks to the door than lead to the basement and is too open “alfador come! look at this, is open too!”

[alfadorthecat]

"Someone must have come through here recently… Most likely one who does not own this castle." I follow her into the basement, looking for signs of who could have come down here. "Look, the door that we found the sword next to… it is open."

[marcystrings]

"Yeah… and look Alfador, what’s that??" Said Marcy pointing to something than looks like an time gate "wha… what’s that?? looks scary.. this place is creepy" the child walks around the room examining but cant find anything more besides the mysterious gate

[alfadorthecat]

"Indeed it is, Marcy…" I stare deeply into the strange portal thing, wondering at the feelings welling up in me as I do so. "I… I feel like I have seen one of these phenomena before…" Suddenly nervous, I look downwards as I try to sort through these emotions and discover their cause. "Have you seen one?"

30 Days of Character Development - Days 11-14

Day 11 - Is there an animal you equate with your character?

Day 12 - How is your character with technology? Super savvy, or way behind the times? Letters or email?

Day 13 - What does your character’s bed look like when he/she wakes up? Are the covers off on one side of the bed, are they all curled around a pillow, sprawled everywhere? In what position might they sleep?

Day 14 - How does your character react to temperature changes such as extreme heat and cold?

Day 11 - I'll say a tiger, since he is extremely loyal when he does have a companion, very protective of those he cares about and intelligent. plus also cats

Day 12 - He enjoys learning about how certain things are possible and how they operate, but his paws prevent him from actually using most things.

Day 13 - Alfador sleeps curled up in a ball as most cats do, and stays that way usually until he wakes up. In terms of where he likes to sleep, he attempts to find the warmest place possible, which may include burrowing under Janus's blankets.

Day 14 - He is pretty much immediately uncomfortable as most living beings would be. Instead of complaining, he would put his energy into finding a way to get cooler or warmer.

Fairy Dangerous Adventure!

[alfadorthecat]

I nod my head as she bows to me in an attempt to be polite. She must be quite kind if she is so freely willing to bow to a cat.

I believe I may have seen a library near the river in the lower regions of the Barrow…

"I believe I may be able to assist you, but I have not been in this town an extensive period of time either. If I cannot help you find the library quickly, I promise to stay with you until you learn all that you wish to.”

[fairyrazzly]

She clapped her hand, happy that someone was kind enough to help her.

"Well, let’s start with the library! Should we go back to the place with the wooden boards? We may be able to find our way there, right? Tee~hee!"

Razzly then paused before going, wondering if the kitty would easily follow her while floating.

"Oh… Do you want to climb on my hat? As I’m a fairy, I tend to fly more than walk… I don’t know if you could follow me? By the way! My name’s Razzly!"

[alfadorthecat]

"I am Alfador, of the kingdom of Zeal. I... would rather follow along behind you. Falling from that height is not something I am very willing to risk any time soon."

Jumping down from the bench, I step in front of the green fairy, looking up at her.

A Haunted House Mystery!

[alfadorthecat]

"If we go down to the river near the bottom of this town, we should be able to find someone who could loan us a boat." I walk towards the door and look at her. "Are you ready to go, Marcy?"

[marcystrings]

Marcy looks scared, but she’s not going to run, she going to prove to all the dragoons she can be brave “im ready alfie.. but… i cant help feeling a little scared… but we must go, we must find about this mystery, come on” Said the little girl walking toward the front door, opening it “look alfador, the door is open… strange”

[alfadorthecat]

Curious, I take a couple steps towards the door and cock my head, listening for any voices or footfalls coming from within the massive stone walls. "Do you think someone is already inside?"  I cautiously poke my head inside, trying to be as stealthy and silent as possible.

30 Days of Character Development - Day 10

Can you define a turning point in your character’s life? Multiples are acceptable.

The biggest turning point was definitely when he was found as a kitten. Because of it, he was raised as royalty - if he had not been discovered, he would have ended up just another common stray and would have lost the family he gained.

[alfadorthecat]

A Haunted House Mystery!

[alfadorthecat]

Drinking the milk she gave me, I think over her question. “I think this sword may have been used in an attempt to destroy the evil in that castle, but I cannot be sure… it could very well be the weapon of whoever put the evil there…” I move to her side. “We will just have to find out the truth ourselves, will we not?”

[marcystrings]

Marcy fix her hair wiht pigtails this time staring at the Sword "well.. i think we have to do this be ourselves.. lets go alfador, we need to take an boat to that castle.. but i dont know who can borrow a boat.. any ideas?"

[alfadorthecat]

"If we go down to the river near the bottom of this town, we should be able to find someone who could loan us a boat." I walk towards the door and look at her. "Are you ready to go, Marcy?"

[alfadorthecat]

A Haunted House Mystery!

[alfadorthecat]

"I think we could if you would like to… if not, we may be able to wait for someone else to go with us, or go look for another person ourselves." I sit by her side, waiting for her to wake up fully and get ready for another expedition into the strange castle, with or without another companion accompanying us there.

[marcystrings]

She jumps off her bed, put her cute tutu and her boots and fix her hair. She takes some warm milk and put some for Alfador too, staring to the sword next to them "do you think the owner of this sword is the responsable of the evil on that castle?.. do you think we can be able to find that person?"

[alfadorthecat]

Drinking the milk she gave me, I think over her question. "I think this sword may have been used in an attempt to destroy the evil in that castle, but I cannot be sure... it could very well be the weapon of whoever put the evil there..." I move to her side. "We will just have to find out the truth ourselves, will we not?"
