Today is a quiet day. Too quiet, almost, to Bolt’s liking. No one in a wide radius seems to need his help, which to most people would be comforting… but to someone like him, it’s more unnerving than anything. Such a calm area is almost unheard of. Is there just something he’s missing?

He might just be looking for a need of help in the wrong place. Maybe he should move on elsewhere. It’s about time he sought out a thunderstorm to replenish his energy with, anyway.

The Zeraora lazily walks down the forest path, careful to avoid the roads leading to the nearby town but not particularly trying to hide aside from that. Most humans have nothing to fear from him, but he knows from experience that being spotted can lead to trouble.

Which is exactly why he stops in his tracks when, despite what he’d hoped, he spots someone up ahead. She seems to be carrying bags of some kind – groceries, maybe? Bolt debates for a moment on what to do… he could dash off and hide up in a tree, but those bags look a bit precarious. It’s not the most heroic of tasks, but if he can help anyone at all, why leave her hanging?

Needless to say, he’s a bit desperate for work right now.

“Raora,” he growls, but it’s a friendly enough sound. As evidenced by his tone, it clearly means something along the lines of: “Do you need help carrying that?”

Kyla was working on coming back home after a long trip, though with her car out of commission, she had to hoof it, which isn't something she was wanting to do. Still, nothing here was going to spoil if it was out in the sun for too long, so she had the opportunity to take this path, something she seldom did. 

This, of course, causes some surprise when she sees the yellow furred creature on the path. She's not entirely sure if she didn't just stray into another world (after all, she hadn't even seen a Pokemon like this before, much less so close).

 She finds it rather odd that it seems as friendly as it is, considering they had just seen each other. She finds it even more strange that they're offering help with her bags (at least, she’s hoping that they are. She’d feel really bad if she assumed that and pushed work on them without their consent).

"Are you sure you wanna carry some of this? I'm still a ways away from home, after all, it's gonna be a while."

I’m really sorry I haven’t been on lately. For some reason, I haven’t been able to bring myself to RP on Tumblr. I’ve been really active on Discord, but Tumblr? Nope.

For Father’s Day, feel free to ask my muse anything you’d like about their father.

Don’t forget to specify the muse if it’s a multimuse blog!

mxdern-mage:

“Yeah, not happening!” She does take notice of the shape within this time. “I do a lot of things for people, but bowing isn’t one of them, generally.” As long as no one mentions her side job, then we’re all fine.

“There’s also the fact that you’re trying to burn a building to the ground. You think I’m just gonna drop down and bow? No, I’ve got business up here.”

As for the fireballs going toward the diner, she knows exactly how to deal with that. These are rocks covered in fire, right? Wind magic may kick up the flames, but it’ll also push the center away. The Parking lot it a lot better than the diner itself.

voidamphibian:

“I am not trying to burn your building down. I am threatening to. It will only be burnt if you continue to defy me.”

The voice is really starting to sound frustrated now, and a bit confused as to why this young girl continues to refuse them even in the face of their power. Sure, Kyla has a bit of magic of her own, but it’s nothing compared to the force of a goddess. Still… Avent might have to put in a bit more effort.

The fireballs headed for the diner are made of pure flames, and the wind helps dissipate them a little bit. They end up melting the top layer of asphalt on the parking lot, but not much more than that.

And as most of the fire gets used up, the true form of the attacker is revealed. It’s some kind of… dark blue axolotl woman, with glowing purple eyes.

[mxdern-mage-archive]

Well. This is... not the face she was expecting.

What face was she expecting? Even she doesn’t know, but this is not it.

“Well. I can say that your eyes are really pretty.”

Is that gonna make her stand down?

No, but it’s always good to say something nice to your enemies. Maybe they’ll be nice in response, or maybe they’ll be thrown off guard long enough to get blown back by a gust of wind.

It’s anyone’s guess!

[voidamphibian]

mxdern-mage:

She decreases the power of her wind just enough to dodge said projectiles before edging closer. Hey, she’s getting pretty good at this!

“I’m not here to bow to some random celestial being that just threw flaming spears at my face, but here we are.”

If it weren’t for the fact that she has to concentrate on keeping her wind spell up, she’d shoot out some more water. But as it stands, if she were to do that it’d cause her to fall (or at the very least go flying off in one direction).

“Look. I’d really rather just get back to my job, and I’ve already sworn allegiance to one immortal being, so that’s enough for my lifetime, y’know?”

voidamphibian:

“I care not for your loyalty or allegiance. I want you to kneel.”

The voice continues to demand this from the mage, but being declined once seems to have soured their mood even more. Their attacks change, more of them being made of fire – and bigger, too. Some of them look like they could really destroy the diner if they were to hit it.

Not just that, but the fireball also starts to move closer. The humanoid shape within becomes a little more visible, too, as a lot of the fire surrounding it is spent on attacking.

A quiet sigh can be heard, the being clearly getting a bit frustrated by Kyla’s continued defiance. “You can get back to work if you at least bow to me.”

[mxdern-mage-archive]

Do you like mages? How about mages that blatantly use their magic in the public eye, consequences be damned? Do you like personified balls of sunshine?

If so, then this is definitely a choice you could take! This is a fandomless RP blog for Kyla Hayes, a 19 year old mage working at a diner. Hope you enjoy!

[voidamphibian]

mxdern-mage:

If we’re being perfectly honest, Kyla doesn’t know exactly how long she can keep herself suspended in the air. The wind spell can’t work forever, after all.

However, that’s not on her mind. What is on her mind, of course, is getting a bit annoyed at her unfriendly neighborhood ball of fire.

“I go back to the ground when you quit trying to kill people. Sound like a fair trade?”

It’s not going to work, she knows that. But she may as well give it a try, right?

voidamphibian:

There’s no response from the flying violet flame. Or… is that a scoff? Kyla’s reply definitely wasn’t what they were hoping for, that much is obvious. And just in case it wasn’t obvious yet, they emphasize their words with another barrage of projectiles.

Some of them aren’t even made of obsidian, just pieces of fire flung at anything they could hit.

“I am not here to make deals. You will get back on the ground and kneel before me, or I will turn your establishment to ashes.”

mxdern-mage:

Once the two streams begin to cancel out, she switches to playing damage control. The fire department will no doubt be here soon, but until then, she needs to take care of the fire on the roof.

And so that’s precisely what she does. She doesn’t exactly notice the shape inside the fireball, but she does know that a ball of fire can’t control rocks like this, there’s gotta be someone in it. Time to get the staff out.

It’s time to get higher up. Maybe that teleporting spell Percy taught her… Only one way to find out!

“Warp!”

The crystal on her staff grows a bright green, and she appears a bit higher up in the air than at first. She’s gonna need more than that.

Ooh, maybe combine the wind spell and the warp!

Using wind to push herself off the ground, she leaps into the air, warping when she’s at her fastest. This gives her much more height, but is it enough to actually reach the fireball? She can only hope.

voidamphibian:

The fireball may no longer be the focus of Kyla’s attention, let alone her attacks, but it’s not about to go easy on her or her place of work. More purple-burning obsidian projectiles, both javelin-like and blunt, are sent flying down upon the general area.

Whoever this attacker is, they’re clearly just trying to cause as much damage as possible.

Her combined Warp and Wind magic carry the mage up high enough to be at eye level with the flaming mass. It’s not floating right above the diner though, so there’s still some horizontal distance to cross… and now that Kyla is up in the air, it clearly has no doubt on what to do next.

From this distance, it’s visible how the stone projectiles seem to materialize out of the fire itself, starting out as balls and jets of flame before solidifying into black obsidian.

But the fireball pauses its attack for a moment to speak, and when it does, its words are heard in an echoing female voice.

“Go back to the ground.”

[voidamphibian]

mxdern-mage:

Well, the jumping from rock to rock idea is out. She attempts to dodge some, but then she sees that they’re being aimed at her, which gives her an idea.

Jumping off from the roof of the diner, she uses quick wind spells to push herself out of the way of the spears fast enough to where they struck the parking lot instead of, well, herself.

This is when she realizes her plan would not be happening, as the spear shatters as soon as it hits the ground. Making a ladder out of the spears would not be happening today, it seems (Which is really too bad, she was hoping that would work).

“Alright, time for plan B, then.”

Plan B, of course, involves shooting a stream of water at the fireball. If she can’t reach them, maybe she could bring it down to her.

voidamphibian:

After being battered by wave upon wave of flaming obsidian projectiles, the diner is slowly starting to catch fire. These flames, unlike the ones that sparked, them, are of the regular kind: red, orange, and the occasional yellow… and emitting grayish-black smoke.

The stream of water seems to catch the mysterious assailant off guard. But unfortunately for Kyla, it’s not quite as effective as one might think.

Some fire separates itself from the central fireball in a long tendril, before being propelled directly at the head of the water stream. It seems to turn into water itself just before the two collide, cancelling each other out.

However, this does cause the fireball to dissipate a bit, revealing a vaguely humanoid shape inside. There’s too much fire left to make out any details, though, and it quickly grows back to full size.

mxdern-mage:

Looking to the sky, Kyla was feeling quite perturbed. She was having a nice, fun day cooking, and all of a sudden something’s hurling huge chunks of rock at her diner. What was that, coal? It definitely looked dark enough.

Climbing up to the roof, she checks to see just what the object that hit the roof was, and sure enough, it was another one of the rocks. She’s tempted to lick it to see just what it is, but she fights the urge. Right now she has to see what’s causing this particular sign of the apocalypse.

Normally, she’d just walk to whatever’s causing this, but she doesn’t think that it’ll be much help. Could she jump up the pieces of rock flying down on her place of occupation?

Actually, she does not know the answer to that.

And so that’s exactly what she tries to do.

She fails on the first one. May just be a better option to propel herself with wind magic.

voidamphibian:

Some of the rocks shatter upon hitting a particularly hard surface, sending a rain of razor-sharp shards flying all over the place. As if the rocks themselves and the purple fire weren’t enough.

Either this is some kind of freak natural disaster, or there’s more at play. Given the nature of what’s coming down, it’s probably the latter.

From outside the diner, the source of the “rain” can be seen. It’s something bright and flaming, up in the sky dozens of feet above the building. No details can be distinguished, because it’s little more than a fireball suspended in midair that measures several feet across.

As the rain of round black rocks starts to calm down again, it’s replaced with something else. Spears. Long, sharp javelins made of the same black material, which aren’t aimed at the diner itself anymore… they’re directed towards Kyla. Whoever was doing this must have noticed her walking outside, and considered her a priority target.

@mxdern-mage

There was something of a thud as a large mass collided with the diner roof. It had to be heavy, because the dent was visible from the inside.

More projectiles followed in the whole surrounding area, despite the sky bearing not a single cloud. Looking outside would reveal them to be… black rocks of some kind. A dark hail that started out slow, but gradually grew in intensity – just as the “hailstones” grew in size. Some were even burning with violet-tinted flames.

[I’d prefer if I were able to draw her myself or commission someone to draw her for me, but I don’t have money, so here’s a Picrew of Kyla. Just in case you need a visual on her.]

If it’s okay to start an rp with you anytime, reblog this

I know a lot of people (myself included) worry about being unwanted or anyone, so reblogging this means it’s okay for ANYONE to start something whenever. Let’s hope this gets the canon flowing a little more.

[mxdern-mage-archive]

(voidamphibian) A mysterious blessing descends upon the mage... oh wait. It's actually just Avent cupping Kyla's face in her hands. "You are too precious for this world."

She has... no clue who this person is.

She does know, however, that they are adorable and deserve a cookie. Why do they deserve a cookie? Well, why wouldn’t they? Everyone deserves a cookie.

And so, the Axlotl goddess is now 1 cookie richer.
