So the FC was having some fun with our NPCs when a wild @miniature-charibert appeared.

We had to pursue.

Still Counting - Volbeat

It's no happenstance that Grinnaux was the one piloting the airship to Azys Lla; in fact, he has quite a bit of technical skill, although you'd never know it from looking at him.

And truth be told, he seems to prefer it that way. (Life is easier when people assume that you're just a volatile meathead.)

He's no Cid Garlond, or even close to a Stephanivian Haillenarte for that matter -- but he does have an intuitive understanding of how things connect and function, and secretly enjoys working with his hands to build. All he needs is training and guidance to expand upon and refine his skills. But in the meantime, if his Ward brothers need anything repaired, they can bring it to him, and he'll do his best to fix it.

In his post-Reactor AU verse, he goes on to work in the Skysteel Manufactory, and even picks up the Machinist job, finding an unexpected fondness in handling firearms -- despite his previous reservations towards it.

The howling winds and bitter cold never felt more welcoming than they did now, and he traversed the Steps of Faith with naught less than the confidence of a man driven by the desire for home.

Song of the Day: Like a Stone - Audioslave

[haillenarte]

thordan’s reign;

Here are translations of the dialogue of the Heavens’ Ward from the Thordan’s Reign (KotR EX) fight. I’ve done my best to compile the English counterparts as well, but I may be missing some lines. Since I cannot recall the lines by chronological appearance, I’ve organized them by knight (and in certain cases, group of knights) instead. Please refer to this post for individual biographies.

 Theory of a Deadman – Hate My Life

[azurexheavens]

[winterslance-blog]

illustrisxarma:

We found the beast!

Hm… this did not go as planned.

[grinnauxthebull]

The Count’s request had been simple:  damage House Fortemp’s credibility by framing the foreigners for a crime.

The “how” and “what” was left entirely up to Grinnaux, and truth be told ‘twas painfully easy to do -- considering the young lass in particular seemed to enjoy socializing in the Forgotten Knight. And considering they were foreigners... well, who would take their word over that of the Heaven’s Ward if it were claimed they were consorting with heretics? There was already enough scrutiny towards them and House Fortemps for bringing them into the city.

And so here they were, standing before the High Adjudicator and other council members, as well as the gathered crowd of witnesses, in the Tribunal, the arena already locked into place for them to step into. The accused had claimed their right to a trial by combat, surprisingly enough -- a move that, in the Bull’s mind, was completely pointless, given the low probability that anyone would be able to defeat members of the Heaven’s Ward. Most knew it to be a lost cause and wouldn’t bother.

But this group? This group were foreigners after all, and knew not the ways of The Holy See or its inner workings. And that was more than all right with Ser Grinnaux, who never turned down the opportunity for a fight, no matter how one-sided it were. (There was no pity for the accused; this was what they had wanted.)

With a sneer, his large axe was brought forward, and he stepped onto the platform with Paulecrain immediately at his heels. The gate closed behind them to signal that there would be no backing down.
