[perditus]

Jules seems like he’s extremely smart but it’s really easy to accumulate knowledge when y oh have an endless amount of time. Any person whose both immortal and intelligent would honestly show just how shallow his knowledge really is.

[perditus]

trust me. i'll take out those assassins before they even know i'm there. (Cullen and amara!)

His sword clashes violently with a nearby templar, their eyes blinding red with horrific growths covering their body. Whoever they once were no longer mattered - they were a husk of their former self. A cocoon overflowing with red lyrium, the unnatural shards protruding out between the cracks in their armor. The sight alone tugs at something unpleasant within but he forces it down, channeling his focus instead towards the soldiers swarming around him. 

“ Don’t let them take those trebuchets down” he barks out across the battlefield, adjusting his stance slightly as he takes another swing at the creature in front of him. He’s able to cut them down in one hit, watching for a fraction of a second as they stumble before turning away. Cullen runs forward through the snow, his eyes catching sight of Amara. 

“ Inquisitor, they’re going for the trebuchets. I’ve tasked my soldiers with protecting them but we’re also evacuating the civilians as well. We can’t let those trebuchets fall ” he reports to her quickly, eyes narrowed slightly. “ We can handle the frontlines but they’ve been trying to send in smaller troops through the sides ”

At her response he nods, glancing back out at the battlefield once more. He takes note of the enormous army coming down the mountain, dread taking hold in his heart. “ I’ll  back you up ”

you must spend a lot of time here. // Adelia for Cullen

He feels the hay sinking slightly beneath his armored steps, crunching quietly. The cold air nips at exposed skin, followed by small flakes of snow that descend lazily from above. Despite that the sun still endeavors to peek through, the small rays illuminating parts of the Inquisition’s stables. Horses graze lazily from their food troughs along with a few other beasts, though the Commander’s attention is drawn to the Mabari instead. They dart around happily, barking occasionally at their handlers and drawing a faint smile from the man’s lips. 

“ Inquisitior ” He stands to attention for a fraction of a second before relaxing, acknowledging her with a nod when she drifts into view. There is some truth to her words - he would sooner be found in the war room. 

“ Occasionally when I find time is afforded to me. The mabari are a welcome sight ” he admits hesitantly, his gaze drifting back to the animals as they tussle in the snow. “ They remind me of my home. There were always a few in the village running about. What brings you here ”

[perditus]

they're as corrupt as they come - and they're in my way.

-- from norrim to lucanis!

They certainly had a ‘proud’ , bloody history. Even the Crows of the past vehemently refused to do business with them. Only as a mark would their names end up etched upon their contracts. Lucanis himself had certainly filled the archives with records of their kin’s demise. Something he was not only proud of but keen on continuing. 

“ I had thought even they might have some shred of common sense on who to align with. I suppose that was too much to ask for ” the assassin responded, kneeling down in the shadows. Only his eyes were slightly illuminated by a faint purple hue, the demon within also paying rapt attention. 

A few Venatori patrolled below, their eyes searching the darkness for any hidden foes. 

“ After you? ”

who tore this place apart? (Carolina @ Taash)

as said by batman // always accepting

They sift through the wreckage carefully, avoiding the splintered wood fragments left behind by some type of explosion. Or perhaps it was someone in a fit of rage with an overabundance of energy and strength that left this little abode a smoldering mess. Taash kneels down carefully, sniffing the air for a moment to understand the scent lingering in the air. 

Dry, almost biting in a way. Rustic? Metallic...but not blood. Ashy like a flame. Yet not like a blaze started with tools. It was natural, a heat that belonged. 

“ Not a person. Probably a dragon. Maybe a Sandy Howler? Matches the scent ” Eventually they respond, slightly distracted as they peruse through their own internal knowledge. At the very least the area made sense. Sandy Howlers preferred warm, sandy areas and used fire...but their prey was not people normally. They preferred Gurns that were usually found in Orlais rather than out here amongst the sandy beaches of Rivain. 

It was unusual to say the least. Maybe the blight had run them out? That fucking sucked. 

“ They usually live in Orlais though this is pretty fucking far for them. They’ll fuck shit up for every other creature out here if they’re relocating here. We gotta get rid of it ”

[perditus]

it's going to be a long night. (Lucanis and alessia!)

as said by batman // always accepting

A chill fills the air as storm clouds slowly settle in, the sky darkening rapidly as a thunderstorm invades the surrounding. Droplets of rain slowly begin to descend upon the dimly lit city, the soft pitter pattering of the rain almost soothing in a way. Despite this the crowd never really seems to thin, people going about their day despite the minor inconvenience. He watches the boots of people as they hurry about, noting the varying degrees of wear and tear on each. 

They told a story if one paid close enough attention. 

Lucanis leans back against the tiled roof, blending in easily thanks to his own dark attire. His eyes narrow slightly as he continues to watch the people below, seeking their prey - or someone to trail at least. It doesn’t help that the sun had also begun to sink into the horizon, leaving the various lanterns as their only source of light in the darkness. 

It’s tough, but manageable. 

“ I could name a few longer nights ” he responds after a moment, voice quiet but the amusement in his words unmistakable. “ If we’re lucky, our contract won’t keep us waiting for too much longer ”

[perditus]

there's nothing here. // Dinshira'lan for Jules

as said by batman // always accepting

It’s highly unusual for Jules to find himself working alongside a Lich other than the one he served directly. Though they appeared to be a united front on the surface, even the immortal Lich Lords of the Necropolis were no stranger to internal politics and incessant bickering. Grudges that lasted decades were the norm - perhaps it was all they could do when time served alongside them rather than against them. 

Perhaps in his third century he might find it entertaining. As it was right now, in his second, it was more annoying and exhausting. So these rare moments were something he endeavored to appreciate even when tasked with something burdensome. 

“That means the wards are still working ” he responds, skeletal face obscured by the thick heavy helmet he chose to adorn. A hint of glowing purple illuminations that gaps where eyes would normally show, his attention trained on the empty room ahead of him rather than her. Only the ring secured underneath his gauntlets indicated any sign of magic from him - unusual for someone who appeared to be a lich in every other way. 

“ We’ll have to disable them if you want further access to the crypt, but you’ll have to do so yourself. I’m not able to disable these wards ” he continues, lifting up a small lantern to help illuminate the room further. “ Though, if you don’t mind me asking, how did you convince my Lord to give you access to his work. He’s usually more....stubborn. He even gave you the sequence right? ”

[perditus]

how about we take a little walk up to the roof?

-- for aia and fenris ;v;

as said by batman // always accepting

Above them the sun cuts through what minimal shelter the few clouds offered like a dagger, the elf squinting in response as his gaze shifts upwards. It’s times like this he’s grateful for his choice of lighter attire, the slight gaps affording him some comfort from the blistering heat. The bustling of the crowds around them had died down slightly in response to the weather, more opting to take shelter in their homes rather than wander the streets. For the first time in a while, Kirkwall was a little quieter. 

It was a rare commodity that Fenris was all too eager to enjoy even if his face dared not betray his usual demeanor. He squints a little more at her suggestion, gaze drifting back to the girl beside him before nodding. 

“ That seems acceptable. There are fewer guards out today than normal; it should not elicit any suspicions ” He pauses, frowning slightly, leaning back against the wall. “ The mansion has an entrance to the roof right? ”

[perditus]

trust me. i'll take out those assassins before they even know i'm there. // Lucanis!

as said by batman // always accepting

Small rocks are kicked up in the chaos, the heels of his leather boots digging into the ground harshly. He anchors himself in place through sheer willpower, ignoring the cacophony of frenzied whispers slipping through his own thoughts. It’s understandable though - the metallic scent in the air was too potent to ignore. Combined with the presence of their mutual enemy? No wonder Spite demanded to be freed from his shackles, the air around him crackling slightly with that familiar demonic energy grasping at every little crack in his self control. 

It’s not the time though. Despite the echoes of rampant violence beneath them, their goal was far more covert. Something that suited Lucanis more than it did a demon. Their target was further in the nearly impenetrable fortress, hidden behind his dwindling lackeys. A blood mage with a particularly nasty predisposition for targeting Crows. Too many had been lost at his hands, their blood harvested for whatever nefarious schemes the Venatori had been concocting in his absence. 

“ Viago arranged it so the blame would be shifted towards a local rebel group rather than the Crows this time. Something about political sensitivity...” His voice trails off, the man clearly uninterested in the specifics this time around. “ But we have to ensure the crowd below can continue inhibited ” 

He braces himself before leaping up, carefully scaling the wall to hoist himself up onto the roof above. The tile shifts slightly under his feet despite his efforts to keep his steps light, though nothing falls out of place. Lucanis offers her a hand to assist, his attention drawn towards the rest of the battlefield below. 

In response to her words he nods once with little pushback, more than willing to step back in this moment. “ I will cover you from behind, but we should move quickly ”

AS SAID BY BATMAN IN ARKHAM: ORIGINS *  assorted dialogue from the video game, adjust as necessary

who tore this place apart?

i don't have time to discuss this - but you and i both know that doesn't make what you did right.

i'm going to make you talk. how much pain you endure before that is in your hands.

i don't have time for this.

smart move. now you get to take a nap.

that doesn't belong here.

i should hurry.

the memory card is damaged, but i should be able to recover most of the data.

your boss. where's he going?

what assassins?

not tonight.

it's going to be a long night.

they'll put innocents in danger to attract my attention. i can't take that risk.

i know what i'm doing.

it goes deeper than that.

what's on your mind?

we can have it tomorrow.

i need to get up and out of danger.

attacking head on is a good way to get myself shot, and probably the hostage too.

get yourself to safety and call the police. they'll want to see what's going on here.

all i want is for you to get yourself to safety.

i need to set up a crime scene and find out what happened.

who is this?

what are you talking about?

i need to pay him a visit.

one way or another, i'm shutting you down.

it's the only way to stop him.

trust me. i'll take out those assassins before they even know i'm there.

looks like i'm the first one here.

i'll make them talk.

time to talk.

if you insist.

too late. i already have what i need.

that's where i need to go.

this is your last chance.

a little more pressure and i'll crush your larynx. what's it going to be?

that worked better than the last interrogation.

you're running out of time.

as if there isn't enough going on tonight.

we can use that to our advantage.

keep searching.

they're as corrupt as they come - and they're in my way.

you have to answer me!

how about we take a little walk up to the roof?

how'd that work out for you last time?

get yourself to a shelter.

i'm not here to hurt you.

you must spend a lot of time here.

i made a promise.

they're all dead. but there's something more sinister going on here.

let her go.

i didn't ask for your opinion.

there's nothing here.

test? i don't have time for this.

wrong answer.

you just ran out of time.

i won't kill him.

i'm not looking for peace.

the city deserves better than that.

i am the reason the criminals breathe easier when the sun rises.

in the months i've been away getting an education I've been revamping Jule's character slightly. Really leaning into the Lich's assistant thing for him. Especially since his ability to use glamour is reliant on the lich providing the artifact and subsequent magic for it. so even though he's not a mage himself, he's ultimately extremely knowledgeable on magical theory just because the lich he serves requires it of him. Sort of helpful for your assistant to have some basic understanding in order to help with different assignments.

| I plan on officially going back to writing this week hopefully. Last week was a little exhausting with some work drama. I thiiiiink it might be better for me to start fresh thread wise but we'll see. It's been several, several months so my tracker is a mess rn ||

[perditus]

|| life update, I can finally start existing here again soon… officially my final grades are in… IM A COLLEGE GRADUATE !! 😭🙏🥺 ||

[perditus]

I really wanted to see more unique ways nevarrans utilized skeletons and such (or maybe I just wanted to draw an undead horse who knows) also long time no see ❤️ two weeks left and I’m free from school forever ! I finished one class fully and am just working on my last projects but then I’ll be able to exist again. Have been ignoring messages but NOT because I don’t want to talk - I just get distracted way too easily 😅

[perditus]

I don’t know if anyone else plays WoW too but Umbric and Rommath are the funniest duo.
