“The legendary Weeping Night a fan of jokes now… Who would have ever guessed? But no, I’m sure we can ‘procure’ a rather nice blend in an area like this. I assure you that I haven’t lost my ability to brew a nice cup or two.”
“Hm... very well, let’s see you prove it, then.”
ryoufuusetsujin:
“Oh, I could never make a refined woman such as yourself go through such trouble on my account. Let’s forget all about it and have some tea.”
“...”
“You don’t mean to tell me you would drink what ever nonsense they brew here?”
ryoufuusetsujin:
“Now, now, let’s leave things like that to the imagination, shall we? We are in public, after all.”
“That kind of concern is admirable, but I daresay a few more strewn limbs would make much difference in this chaos.”
ryoufuusetsujin:
“But it won’t lose me anything, either~!”
“For the moment. Were there less pressing matters, however...”
ryoufuusetsujin replied to your post: “Mm… Of course even this floating monstrosity would stink of him.”:
"I only in follow in the wake of beauty."
“Reminding me of what I already know will gain you no favors.”
“Mm... Of course even this floating monstrosity would stink of him.”
perpetua-anima:
Getting separated from those he came across was a bit unfortunate. With some of the city features not working, it was certainly more dangerous than ever. So he had decided upon himself to lure away the hostiles. He has something to fall back on that would ensure his survival in this encounter anyway.
Now, to shake off the pursuers.
He was looking for the right moment to present himself. And as luck may have it, he saw a figure from afar gesture to him. Or at least, that’s what he had thought.
“Now or never,” he said to himself as he traced two runes to his side which were left hanging in mid air as he went forward. The moment the pursuers came into contact with the runes, there was a small explosion of black smoke to obscure their vision. He timed it well to turn the corner immediately.
The second rune triggered and an image of him running forward could be seen while the smoke effectively covered the corner he turned to.
“You have my thanks,” he turned to the person that had waved and had presented him the opportunity to make the escape. He bowed as a sign of his gratitude.
She had only managed to clearly see some of his escape maneuvers, really, but it was enough to pique some interest. Even if all he had at his disposal were tricks to make movement easier... that would prove useful.
For the moment, though, Xing Hai kept her attention on the young man before her, rather than on the brief showing he’d put on moments before. Ah, he had some manners, too. This was already off to a surprisingly pleasant start.
“Think nothing of it. It’s all those of us trapped here can do to work together, is it not?”
At least, that seemed to be in the spirit of things, given their joint predicament.
“Once you’ve rested, I wonder; how well do you know this flying fortress?”
disgracxd:
The woman before her is without a word, beautiful. She’s not sure if this is a faunas from her own realm, but the chance to rest near someone so powerful after a supply run is not one she would turn a blind eye to at the moment. her large backpack sags down onto the ground and she bends forward; knees and hands connecting as tried to ignore the fallen bodies of those that had been native here. She took in a gulp of air and straightened up slowly.
“I… hello miss. You’ve done very well for yourself; despite it all.” She chuckled weakly and shook her white hair back to get a clear view of the unearthly beauty in front of her.
“My name is Weiss I have a hiding place a little further down the alleyway. If you don’t want to stick together, I can at least offer you a map of the city and some rations.”
Ah... this one’s cute, in a way. Trying to appear brave while surrounded by death on all sides. All she did was smile. The humans of this place were more resilient than she gave them credit for, apparently.
“Weiss... you are far too kind.” She meant that quite seriously, even if her voice remained amused. This young lady did not even stop to show a shred of doubt about coming upon her here. It was refreshing, in a way, if potentially foolhardy.
“Perhaps we should save talking for when we are somewhere more secure. There’s no need for you to unpack your things here; if you know somewhere safer, I will gladly follow.”
berserkerofgold:
Suspicious. This lady was definitely suspicious.
It was hard for him not to be suspicious of someone that clearly looked just like an oni. The horns made it obvious– and even if she weren’t some kind of oni, she felt like trouble. Call it his instincts as a demon slayer. Not to mention, she looked physically dangerous, too…
Er, for one reason or another, anyways.
Running around this God-forsaken floating city was a pain, so a short rest wouldn’t hurt. A break from running and fighting would do him good, anyways. So, against his better judgement, Kintoki took a glance left and right– before sneaking into the demon’s refuge without a word.
It was only after he stepped in that he began to speak.
“Nice hiding spot,” the man muttered, pressing up against a wall slightly besides the other– but not too close. “Phew… heh, hard to catch a break in a place like this…”
“… Oi. No offense, but you uh, some kinda oni or somethin’?”
It’d best if he were blunt.
“With the horns and all, I figured you looked one. No offense and all, ‘course… but no funny business, alright lady? Things’re bad enough as is.”
She had to admit, as far as (seemingly) humans went, the one she’d come across seemed like.. well, powerful. Given the circumstances, she’d have to call that a win, for the moment. As the man slipped into the nook alongside her, she stepped aside, silently appraising his appearance while he did the same to their immediate surroundings.
There would be no stopping her amused chuckle at his question, though. So the people of this world were at least somewhat familiar with her kind... interesting.
“Well. I suppose there’s hope for you humans yet, if you can discern that much.”
She had no intention of hiding the fact, even if it was evident this man might not hold demons in high regard. Turning slightly to better face him, she held out her arms, as though to make it more obvious she was unarmed.
“As much as I’m sure you suspect someone like myself to be plotting your downfall, I believe we’ve found ourselves in the same predicament.” Satisfied, she folded her arms once more, in favor of glancing back into the open street nearby. “So long as we are trapped in this fortress of a city, the only kind of business I have is leaving it whole. Will that suffice?”

Of course the whole place would go to hell before she could even begin to familiarize herself with it. Xíng Hài heaved a frustrated sigh, now that she had a moment to compose herself again.
The city had already been far too unnatural for her tastes, but now she found herself where the walls themselves seemed alive, yet also not at all. Everything moved of its own accord, seemingly, and was only interested in firing projectiles in her direction at every turn.
Now, in a secluded alcove, she found herself cornered. Relatively safe, perhaps, but unable to progress.
“This must be some twisted joke.” She muttered, taking note of a fair number of bodies scattered through the streets already. Had she her powers, they would have been the perfect recourse.
As it was, she only had speed to rely upon, and no notion of where she was going.
Perhaps that was why, for once, she did not immediately set to turn away the sound of oncoming steps. Instead, she peered around the corner long enough to wave the coming figure her way. Perhaps, if she was lucky, they could be of use.
“Come, quickly. You can catch your breath over here.”
Thunderbolt Fantasy has an amazing opening. Just thought I’d share this.
And yes, that’s T.M.Revolution doing the theme song.
ryoufuusetsujin:
She was a sharp woman. She always had been. Even when he had first met her, he had his reservations about getting into bed with her, in a manner of speaking. Humans were easy to manipulate, that much was certain. But demons operated by largely different principles. It was only because of the similarities they and humans share that he was able to use her as well as he had.
Now, though, there was no immediate leverage he had to draw her attention. His offer was the thinnest of straws he could pull. But he had once heard of a legend where straw was spun into gold. For the one called the Enigmatic Gale, that should be easy enough.
“Perhaps I merely want to make amends,” he said as he turned his gaze away. “Or perhaps my good deeds shall warrant a grand reward from my benefactor, in the end.”
“There are a number of reasons I could give you, honestly. But let me ask you this: would you believe any of them?”
Well, he was not wrong. It would be a strange day indeed, the day she actually believed him again. Despite herself, his observation caused her lips to curve into an amused smile. It their way, these attempts at mind games sometimes held a certain charm. Almost.
“Very well, you’ve made your point. For now, I’ll accept your offer.”
“However, I cannot promise it will save you once your true purpose comes to light. I’m certain you can understand that much.”
In her mind, that was as sensible a warning as any. There was no reason to trust he wouldn’t try to turn their bargain into leverage later; and depending upon the cause, no reason for her to remain bound by their agreement.
Besides, she knew all too well he was smarter than to trust her beyond their immediate predicament.
ryoufuusetsujin:
“I always do, don’t I?” He gave the demon one of his trademark roguish grins before he pulled his pipe from his sash, daring to light it even though the situation still teetered dangerously on the edge of desperate. “As I’ve said, the magic we’re so familiar with is a thing of the past, but it’s not unheard of. Though I haven’t been in this place much longer than you, I’ve already come across some rather interesting individuals–people with powers far beyond the pale, even by our standards. So, Xíng Hài, I want to propose a bargain.”
“Since you’ve only just arrived, you have no masses of corpses at your disposal. So you might keep your precious solitude, you’ll no doubt need some, just as I have no doubt there are souls here who might interest you–or rather, there are bodies that will. In exchange for my insufferable life, I shall bring you tribute now and again. I’ll even make you privy to what I know about a new forest you might be able to claim as your own. So? What say you, my lady? Might we have a deal?”
Curse him and everything about him.
Even knowing he wasn’t to be trusted, even knowing he was only making this offer to save his neck, there was no denying how much she could stand to gain. Much more than he did, from where she stood. His life was something, true, but was sparing him truly all he wanted? It seemed far too easy.
Not only that, but there was a bitter tinge to the nature of his offer. It would be impossible for her not to recall the last human she had struck such a deal with... and what the man before her had reduced her to in the wake of it.
But, of course, he would know that. No matter how trained her expression remained, there was no way he wouldn’t. That had been part of his intent, if she were the gambling sort, she would wager heavily on that.
“I grant you, it’s a tempting offer, but one I cannot help but question.” Finally breaking a silence she had let linger too long, she dared to step forward--for the moment, without ill intent. “Let me ask you this: is your life truly all you desire? Surely there is another catch beyond just that. What are you really after, Lǐn Xuě Yā?”
The fourth Thunderbolt Fantasy: A Maiden’s Magical Journey chapter is out and it has what you want: Fei-Hài bonding (?) and a decent shot of Cán Yún’s bare chest. Everyone wins!
