Dare To Dream!!!

Fire Emblem Awakening/Fates OC and Crossover RP Blog, written by Sakura!

[sakuradreamerz]

It’s been a long time coming...

If anyone wants to RP with OC’s (2 of them are mainly Fire Emblem based, but loves crossovers) here are my... RULES , ESTHER/CLAIRE , NORA (coming soon) , MIRAGE (coming soon)!

[livingbolt-zigvolt]

The next time Sebek and Esther cross paths, he’ll find her in the forest to the north of campus. He’ll see her purple cloak she usually wears folded and on a rock, in her regular mercenary attire. Appears she’s looking for something!

“N-no….not long enough….t-too brittle….”

From the few stocks he sees near her, it looks like she’s looking through different sticks!

Sebek saw the girl searching for sticks. At first, he thought that it was odd that someone like her would be searching for sticks of all things.. Then he remembered something.. He mentioned something of sparring with sticks the other day.. wooden sticks.

" HUMAN! YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR THE WRONG STICKS. "

He exclaimed. There were these special wooden sticks made just for sparring .. And Esther decided to find wooden tree sticks. It was so hilarious Sebek could only laugh on the inside.

[sakuradreamerz]

One moment she was holding up a stick to inspect it…

and the next-

“GAH!”

Sebek’s yelling startled her, and the noted stick broke into pieces while in her grasp. By instinct her hand went to the handle of her sword, but when she turned around to face him, a relieved, albeit miffed expression grew on her face. Just Sebek….not a monster…

“I-I think….the whole o-of….the island…c-could hear you….”

But back to the topic at hand…

“The wrong….sticks?”

She had gauged the use of sticks from her training memories, nonetheless Sebek recalling what he used for training…

Considering he was planning to teach her, maybe he had some more insight.

“C-can you show me…the sticks, then?”

[icouldbarelyaffordthisphone]

“Hmmmm….”

Esther had been hearing strange things regarding the pirate crew that recently docked on Sage island. Sure people could see them and mingle with them…but she found it odd that the new c-a-m thingies couldn’t pick up their presence. As…if they were…

She shook her head at the thought. They were only rumors so far…but to find the truth, maybe she could ask them?

“Um…e-excuse me…first m-mate Ruggie?” She remembers the first time she encountered the non-pirate version, let alone of his recent troubles. But maybe…

“May I a-ask…you a question?”

“Hm?”

The hyena tilted his head toward her, then he cocked it to the side a bit as one hand rested on his hip.

“What’s up?”

[sakuradreamerz]

The glint of the seashells distracted her a little, but the smell of sea salt from his attire brought her mind back to the forefront, let alone what she wanted to ask.

…time to see if ends up being a dead end…or if it would bring a new clue to the forefront.

“Before you…C-Captain Leona…and the r-rest of your crew…c-came to Sage island…do you r-remember…what day…month…y-year it was?”

Esther may have only recently learned how to tell time, but…maybe it could bring some answers about why the crew don’t appear in the photo-technology-stuff.

[cooking-with-jamil]

“Hmmmmm….” Esther was in awe at the amount of jewelry present in the shop, the beadwork, the different lengths and patterns… but that wasn’t what eventually caught her eye.

It was the paintings that hung *above* them. Each painting looked vibrant, colorful; they almost reminded her of Libra’s own paintings.

Libra…

….Chrom…Frederick…Lissa…Robin…

…Anna…

A crack of sadness marred her curiosity.

“…” Will I…be able to…see them again?

(Don’t mind Esther feeling a lil out of place/homesick)

"Probably. I'm sure we'll find a way to send you back."

Jamil pats her back.

[sakuradreamerz]

Jamil’s tome seemed reassuring…but-

One moment she was reminiscing…the next?

Her eyes widened…her instincts took over.

Laughter…

Screams…

Red…

Bandages-

Her hand caught Jamil’s wrist, facing him instead of her back. Her grip firm…but he can feel her shaking.

“Don’t….touch me…”

Esther’s words were not of pride, nor were they filled with rage…

Instead they bled from…pain, fear….

like a wounded dog desperate to protect itself.

A deep breath was had before she let go of him, her eyes filled with worry and fear. Guilt.

She stepped away from him, careful to protect her back as she moved.

“I-I’m sorry…“

[livingbolt-zigvolt]

The next time Sebek is at Diasomnia’s dorm gate, he’ll see a long, pink haired girl with a purple, long sleeved cloak and arm and leg armor (?) there. It looks like she’s looking for something or someone, and in her hands is what looks to be…a letter?

Sebek notices the odd girl in front of the gates. Why was she just standing there ominously and not coming in? her arm and leg armor stood out since no student ever goes into NRC dressed like that.

He then saw the odd letter placed in the girls hand. Jumping into a conclusion that the letter was for Malleus he immediately approached the girl.

" YOU! HUMAN! What business do you have within Diasomnia? If you are searching for Lord Malleus, he is busy. So run along now. HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME! "

Sebek says with a stern tone. Clearly looking down at the girl.

[sakuradreamerz]

His initial yells were fine…but now his yelling was giving her a bit of a headache.

She stood still despite his accusations, taking a deep breath to focus on her words. Suspicious….she wasn’t sure what was suspicious about delivering a letter. There was no sign or stain on it to suggest it had already opened or was tampered with. Come to think of it, she remembers one thing Crowley put on the letter.

“He did…n-not tell me much. But…he only told me…th-that it pertained to…th-the next Housewarden meeting. Um….” To tell or not to tell…well, if he was examining the letter, then he might as well; Naga knows she wouldn’t try and mess with it. “Crowley also said that….sh-should anyone except for…th-the Housewarden in question…tries to open th-the letter…they would find themselves….cursed, s-stuck on the ground…no matter where they are…u-until the next dawn!”

[sakuradreamerz]

So far so good….

The masked bird man had given Esther a small, albeit unusual task: deliver one letter of great importance to Diasomnia’s housewarden: Malleus Draconia. Crowley didn’t go into detail as to what was in the letter, but as he was “oh so kind” he noted that letters were the best method to try and communicate with him; phones were hopeless, and the other messengers had either been scared away by Diasomnia’s members or they lost the previous letters. Thus, the task fell unto Esther of Y-Ramshackle.

Though she had never delivered messages before back in Ylisse, the task seemed simple enough.

The mirror into the Diasomnia dorm didn’t bar her from entering (maybe due to the seal on the letter belonging to Crowley?), and-

“Woaahhh….”

The castle was…intricate. Many spires looming over her, colored in vast deep grays, tints of blue, and glowing evergreens coming from their long windows. If she wasn’t trying to complete a task, she might have stopped to sketch it. But alas…

A sharp yell stole her attention instead. Green hair, green eyes and a cross expression.

Noisy. Loud. Somewhat familiar.

Come to think of it, Esther remembered seeing him yelling at someone right after she came out of the coffin.

But that’s…neither here nor there, and his yelling would not deter her. She’s seen and heard far worse.

“So you….a-are a member of…this house.” The fancy uniform he wore already showed it, let alone his yelling.

Some respect was had in trying to protect him.

But to answer his questions and exclamations though, she flips the letter in her hand, showing Sebek the wax seal that bore the Headmage’s insignia. “H-headmage Crow-ly has tasked me….t-to deliver this letter….to the H-Housewarden of Di-a-som-nia, n-noting that it was….o-of great importance.”

She remembers the masked bird man noting it was of great importance that the Housewarden would be on time for the next Housewarden meeting.

“But…If he I-isn’t here right now….can you m-make sure to get this…l-letter to him?” Thus, she gently holds out the letter to Sebek.

[howling-at-the-moons]

Esther isn’t familiar with Jack, let alone his UM’s wolf form.

But…

‘How did a wolf get here?’

She grows concerned for him.

She knows this school is full of magic. But…

Was this wolf a normal wolf? Or were they a shapeshifter, like a few heroes from her mother’s tale…the Legend of Radiance?

Either way, she decides to carefully back away a few paces. Not to run, but to give the wolf some much needed space.

[The wolf stares. Its ears are pinned slightly to the side, its body rigid and poised-- not quite aggression, but wary as it assesses the other.]

[It growls, a low, rough sound from the deepest part of its throat. Strangely enough, you get the distinct impression it's saying something remarkably close to 'Whaddya' want'.]

[sakuradreamerz]

They growled…but they didn’t approach. Now Esther was even more confused. And yet…

Their growls were strange. Not hostile or shy like Esther had seen with past wolves.

But if it was a shapeshifter…then…

Taking a deep breath, she decided to take a chance.

“A-are you…f-from the campus’s forests?”

Maybe the answer to it could lead her in the right direction!

[trey-of-tarts]

The next time Trey will be at Heartslabyul’s entrance, he’ll see someone that’s…not part of their dorm. She has long pink hair, a purple long sleeved coat and…gently holding a hedgehog?

“Um…e-excuse me?”

*Trey's attention immediately diverts to the unfamiliar person*

Uh, hello? Do I know you?

*He then notices the hedgehog in her hands*

[sakuradreamerz]

An unusual situation with an unusual creature…

The strange blue creature had been sniffing around where Esther had sat in the courtyard, caught while it had munched on one of her apple slices.

…It didn’t seem harmful though…she thought, just curious…just like she was about them.

She was patient, gentle as she took the creature into her hands, and careful as she took it to Crowley’s office.

The masked bird man recognized the creature as a hedgehog, let alone one from the Heart-slay-bull dorm. But instead of taking the creature and returning it (as he was ever so kind), he had Esther make the errand to return it.

And…well, here she was. Everything around her pink, white, red, or green…heart shaped, rose shaped…at least until she had got the attention of someone green haired.

What was his name…Tree? Tray?

“I…I don’t know…”

Oh wait! Why she was here!

“Um…I apologize for…intruding. But I found…this little h-hedgie in…the courtyard.” Thus, she gently holds up the pink hedgehog, careful not to stress it out, “B-but…the masked bird man said it…c-came from Hearts-la-bull. And, um…d-do you recognize this little one?”

[icouldbarelyaffordthisphone]

If Ruggie heads to the Spelldrive fields, he’ll see an unusual sight…or rather, an unusual looking guest: a young woman with long pink hair, a purple long sleeved cloak, and a sheathed sword(?!) and a bow strapped to her back. She seems to be watching the spell drive players practice with deep curiosity! (Yes hello though I might throw you Esther X3)

Huh..? HEY! You! Who’re you!?

[sakuradreamerz]

Flying brooms…

Esther’s attention drew on the brooms, let alone their players for a solid while. She didn’t understand how the game worked (Crowley’s paltry explanation didn’t help) but seeing them in the air like it was nothing…

Would Robin…have been able…to do that?

Alas, the sound of a new voice interrupted her thoughts. She turned to the sight of his unhappy expression.

“Um….E-Esther?” Though growing uneasy she adds, “M-may I ask…for yours?”

[sakuradreamerz]

Happy Pride Month, fellow beans! ^^

[ramshackledprefect]

Yumna will hear a quiet knock from the Ramshackle dorm’s doorway; if she looks to see who it is, she’ll find a short young woman with long pink hair, a purple long sleeved hooded cloak, and…armor and a sheathed sword??

Her head turned towards the noise and they got up from the couch to investigate. Upon opening the door they would see the girl and immediately gain a puzzled look on their face.

How did she get past security with a sword ?

Who knows.

" May I help you ? "

[sakuradreamerz]

Esther was…a lil miffed, and seeped with worry.

The masked bird man ‘head-mage’ had no idea how to get her back to Ylisse, and he had been been ‘so kind’ as to have her stay at NRC until she could go back. But the more steps she tread to get there, the more she felt so…uneasy about the situation.

Ramshackle, as he called it, didn’t look run down…but she noticed there was light on the inside of it…maybe she could set up camp next to it?

No…

She glanced at the few tombstones scattered in its yard, If I do that…then I’d risk desecrating the dead…

And how many were there beyond the building? She’d look later. But for now…

A deep breath. A few careful steps up the entry way. And then…

She knocked.

She was surprised to find a young woman standing before her, not of the dead, but of the living.

She seemed…nice. Did she live here?

“U-um, hello….” Deep breath… “So…th-the strange bird-masked m-man…told me I-I could…stay at a place….called Ramshackle…u-until he can find…a-a way home for me. Um….”

Her hand left the grip of her sword, in favor of holding the ends of her cloak,

“I-is this…the right place?”

[starry-silver-v]

(In that case…crossover wise, I hope you like Fire Emblem? X3 fair warning, it’s been a bit!)

Tmp….tmp…tmp…

It had been a few minutes since she had appeared out of that strange….box…no, coffin from the hall, addled out of her mind and with a headache to show for it.

It had been moments since she left that strange hall, the strange mirror, unease stirring from how…quiet it was. Late at night, yet no guards of any sort were around like she was used to seeing…

It only made Esther all the more wary, instinctually putting her hand on her sword hilt.

Another few, tentative steps.

Was this place for…bandits? No, nothing seemed worn down…for ghosts?

Too dark to tell…but…

Where in the world did Anna teleport her to??

Turning one of the corners as his hand brushes against his eyes, he stops a few steps away from her. Lit candles flicker, sparks flicking together as they light the surrounding place and cast shadows across the walls.

"Ah, you are the person who said they were not meant to be here," he says, voice as quiet as the night.

From what he knows, it was new for someone to claim to not belong here. To not be part of this world; to be from somewhere else. Though, there was alway something going on, so he cannot say it was entirely surprising.

[sakuradreamerz]

Good. The bird masked man was gone.

But that only left Esther with…a deeply growing confusion, nonetheless a lot of questions.

She had been expecting something very…different than what had happened. Hostility, mostly, to be driven out or attempted to be silenced.

Do cults act differently here?

Her guard wasn’t…fully down (unsure if it was due to instinct, familiarity, or due to habit), but compared to when she initially ran, she found herself rather unsure of where her steps should go next…or what she would find.

But….her gaze turned to Silver’s hand reaching out to her. Open…inviting…a choice.

Too many questions in her head, one that’s been bugging her ever since she got out of that box-coffin.

But…how to start it. “I….”

She would not take his hand quite yet. “Wh-what did…..the b-bird man mean…when he kept….c-calling me a stew-dent?” Her evergreen gaze met his auroral colored eyes, “Is that…a t-title….or role of sorts?”

[starry-silver-v]

(In that case…crossover wise, I hope you like Fire Emblem? X3 fair warning, it’s been a bit!)

[sakuradreamerz]

The bird man’s words, claims she was a student made Esther feel…confused, uneasy, but growing into guilt when he focused the blame of her getting hurt on Silver.

…she didn’t know what she was a student(?) for…but Silver’s apology felt…unwarranted…yet sincere.

He did not strike her, nor was he the cause for her getting hurt. He had answered her questions, kept his distance…while she tried to climb a tree with breaking branches and got hurt from falling.

Why should he apologize for that?

…her grip slightly loosened on her knife.

“Y-you don’t…n-need to apologize…”

The bird masked man was surprised by her words, “Oh? But surely you would take his offer to help?”

…to which Esther shook her head.

“I-it’s not…warranted…if he did n-no wrong.” Her gaze lowered to her feet, “He didn’t…hurt me in…the first place. I-if anything…he was j-just helping me…before you c-came.”

At first glance, the bird man (Crowley) looked…somewhat unsatisfied, but Esther’s expression did shift his next words a bit. “Well, if our new student has found no issues, then it has been deemed so. But this-” he gestures to Esther’s ankle, “still won’t do…” With a flick of his magic cane/key(?), Esther felt something cold, then warm on her ankle. A gesture from the bird man…did she want to stand on it?

Uneasy as she looked...she did put one foot down; no pain, or at least most of it was blocked off…but she could move, er, somewhat like this. “Do try and not run off on that ankle again or the healing will be left undone.”

Crowley then turns back to Silver, “As you were so kind to help (and I am an ever so kind mage), I will have you lead her to the infirmary once Orientation ends. Are we understood?”

[starry-silver-v]

(In that case…crossover wise, I hope you like Fire Emblem? X3 fair warning, it’s been a bit!)

[sakuradreamerz]

Dorms? Headmage?

How…strange…

Keeping his space instead of getting closer. And backing away…when he could have attacked her.

The mention of the headmage made her furrow her brow, trying to picture who Silver was talking about; and at the mention of the nurse-

“Ah, here’s our missing-What in the Great Seven happened here?!”

Speak of the devil, so he shall come. Though in Esther’s case, she was surprised to find the strange bird masked man appear before them both.

“Just as I started my own search for our missing student, as I’m ever so kind, I find her brandishing a knife against one of our sophomore students. And if that isn’t the worst of it, she’s injured!”

All Esther could do was wince, tempted to plug her ears from his loud ranting. The bird mask man was waaay too loud…but his dramatic way of speaking reminded her of someone.

But before she was able to speak on her behalf, the strange makes bird-er, Headmage turned most of his attention to Silver. “Do you have anything to say for yourself?!”

[azul-ashengr0tt0]

(It’s been a bit since I’ve RP’d in earnest, but here I go!)

“Woah…..” a whisper…one of awe she hadn’t held in a long while.

Everything was…blue here. Light blue, dark blue, everything in between.

Every shade and….fish and many creatures she had never seen before…swimming all around her outside of this strange tunnel. No brigands in sight…good…but her hand was to her sword hilt, just in case.

The path echoed underneath her boots, and her long purple cloak/jacket swayed behind her as she tread this strange path.

To where? Maybe….maybe somewhere that could help her find Anna.

But the end did not lead her outside, nor back to the surface. Instead it led her to…a darker room? Filled with strange glowing lamps, sat upon tables that fit more in line with noble’s home.

She could still see some blue to her left, the glass giving her a view of more creatures gliding within the water.

But….she couldn’t read whatever was written or printed on the signs.

Where in the world was she?

(Say hello to Esther! ^^)

Usually Azul prefers the solitude of his office, though with a decline in contracts lately, he had been forced to pick up a shift or two. He doesn't mind though, as serving customers and picking up orders brings back fond memories of when he first started this establishment.

"Quite a crowd we got today," He noted. "I supposed I might need to put out an advertisement for a new waiter and- oh."

A person stepped into the lounge, who was decidely not one of the numerous NRC students Azul had gotten great lengths to memorize, nor one of the regulars from Sage's Island. What's more, she seems to be mesmerized by the deep, undersea tones, the low hum of the people enjoying their meals, and the soft lighting from the sea around them.

Good. A potential customer. Straightening his tie, Azul offered her his signature smile. "How may I help you?"

[sakuradreamerz]

The animals gliding in the water and the soothing music in the air led Esther to feel a sense of peace…

But the sound of footsteps coming towards her broke that peace.

He looked a tad taller than her, silver hair…haunting blue eyes hidden by glasses, adorned in a purple and grey suit, a grey scarf, and a hat with a purple shell. The shell…

Memories of Esther’s time on the beach with the Shepherds came to mind, both clearing out the risen there and the vacation that came afterwards…

But this wasn’t the beach; it was somewhere…underwater…and compared to the vacation homes there, this place felt…intimidating somewhat.

Still, he did ask if he could help her…maybe he had some answers?

“Well…” How to word this…

“W-What is…this place, e-exactly?…” if anything, to Esther it looked like an upper-class tavern.

[starry-silver-v]

(In that case…crossover wise, I hope you like Fire Emblem? X3 fair warning, it’s been a bit!)

Tmp….tmp…tmp…

[sakuradreamerz]

Silver…of

“Di-som-ia?”

Esther’s vigilance bled into confusion at his, Silver’s words…let alone his concern.

Not…wanting…?

The robed Silver was…strange. The robes back in the hall…were they not part of a strange cult? Or maybe it was because she was injured he decided not to strike?

She was rather hesitant to make any conclusions than before…but…he looked too intense for Esther to relax her caution, at least fully.

The mention of her fall made her purse her lips, thinking; If she wanted to get out of here, she needed to keep moving.

“I-I’m fine.”

She still held her knife as she attempted to stand again (one hand on the trunk for support), keeping an eye on him as she did so. Silver would notice her going at a slower pace than her first try.

Standing? Good; Esther was relieved that she didn’t feel dizzy…but a pained expression bloomed when she tried to put any weight on her left ankle, quickly shifting it to only standing on her right one.

Better than nothing…

[starry-silver-v]

[sakuradreamerz]

The echo of his voice made Esther double her climbing efforts, doing all she can to keep blending in with the leaves shadows.

The voice was…concerned-

No, she will not fall for it. She needed to protect herself, escape from this strange building and go somewhere safer.

Up, up, up…

In her stress however, she failed to notice the quiet bend of a higher tree branch as she stepped for upon it. Was it a dead branch? Or was it just a thinning one? Either way…

SNAP!

It was an omen of bad luck…

“AAAAHHHH!!”

Silver would find her all right; For when she tried to climb higher, the poor branch snapped off, and he was able to spot the startled Esther close to him and falling down, down, down from her perch.

[starry-silver-v]

He jolts at the scream, turning in the direction that it had come from. His instincts shift in before he gets a chance to register what could possibly be going on and he runs over to where he had heard the scream come from.

His eyes shift about and he sucks in a breath as pink strands of hair slip through the air and she hits the floor.

Stepping over to her, he pauses a few steps away and bites his bottom lip. "Are you... alright? Do you need any help there?"

[sakuradreamerz]

Ow….ow….ow….

Everything was pounding…but she was alive.

She was lucky that she fell onto the grass and not on the sharp stone. She could still feel her limbs and her head didn’t feel dizzy, and when she opened her eyes, she only had scrapes on her hands…at least from what she could see.

Then Silver’s voice made her all the more vigilant; adrenaline spiked, she quickly tried to roll and get up, about to unsheathe a knife from her belt-

“NGH!”

Pain seared through her left ankle, forcing her to sit down at the base of the tree.

Silver’s vision could see a few cuts on her cheek and scrapes on the parts of her hands not protected by her gloves…and her left ankle (slightly bent) lying on the branch that fell beneath her.

But it didn’t stop Esther from unsheathing a knife from her belt, held in a way to not immediately attack, but to guard herself…not of malice….but rather, fear and preservation.

“Who are y-you….” Her knife grip was tight, breath slightly winded from her attempted trek up the tree, “A-and what do you…want from me?”
