headcanon; knees.

Say’ri is a really dirty fighter, and while this had only come to the fore after she ran from Walhart’s forces, she has used elbows, knees, her head and her fists to supplement her skill with the blade. She is especially fond of kicks, and a knee put to good use is her last line of defense. (Even if Risen don’t seem to have the same pain response as humans.)

With her height and reach, she can get a little sloppy on her defense, but having seen and fought brigands and monstrosities, she isn’t about to be noble about taking people down unless it is a fair match, so she treats duels and challenges with a kind of seriousness she doesn’t apply to other battles.

That, and clotheslining people in official duels is politically frowned upon.

headcanon; succession.

In thinking of this, I decided to look into the epilogues of the Greil Mercenaries:

Greil - Deceased in PoR

Ike - Vanished to Lands unknown.

Titania - Remains deputy commander.

Soren - Either refuses to work for anyone but Ike or travels with Ike

Mist - Either lives alone or marries Boyd.

Rolf - Remains with the Mercs, becomes Archery tutor.

Boyd - Trains so he’s never beaten by ‘some stupid rookie’

Oscar - Rejoins the royal knights, merc work on the side.

Shinon - Master of all trades, active in none.

Gatre - Fame and glory as a Merc but ne’er true love.

Rhys - Opens a chapel in the Merc’s(?) keep

Mia - Travels, but keeps returning to the Merc’s ‘retreat’.

In a previous post, I wondered who’d replace Ike as the leader of the Greil Mercenaries. Honestly, I’d be happy to keep it undefined or ambiguous. Perhaps they take turns at being boss, with Titania as deputy to keep things constant? Perhaps Boyd becomes the leader, but Mist keeps him and the others in check?

I can’t imagine it’d be Shinon, or if it was if he’d keep the post for long. I can’t think of a solid reason for Gatrie either way, Rhys would be focusing on his chapel and teaching, Mia would be travelling too much to stay for the role, perhaps Rolf?

Bye-Bye, Alabama (Miriel & Soren)

This time, Miriel was rather far from home. After a bit of trial and error, she managed to find herself in the time of Ike’s Revolution. She visited the Greil Mercenaries and soon found him roaming the campgrounds. “Aha! Sir Soren! This is most fortunate. Do you recall our previous encounter? At that time, I was under the spell of a mischevious greymage. As you can see, my ailment has passed. Seeing as how you seem to hold an interest in greymage antics, I thought you might find this revelation interesting.”

Truth: Who is your least favorite mercenary to fight with? Dare: Find someone you've never spoken to before, and hit them in the face with a pie (preferably cherry).

Without even stopping whatever she was doing or pausing to think, she spoke a word.

“Soren.”

//RP Planning notes

arcwindsage , alteanprinceandking

Right now I’m thinking it might be time to leave the (probably quite cramped) supply room and thus either end the ‘Unintentional Thievery’ RP or at least move it into a new phase, addressing either Soren’s inquires or Titania’s training session.

So if we wanted, we could make this into something larger, perhaps also involving notanoble and crimeariver. If Titania’s trying to recruit Marth, then that would have to go through Ike and so far it’s looking as if our Hero King needs Elincia to vouch for him.

I’m happy with keeping things as they are, but RPs of this scale were something I loved in my first RP group and haven’t been able to do since that one ended. Plus I’d like to RP with Notanoble and Crimeariver, but it doesn’t have to be in this way. :’D

What say everyone else? Answer or Reblog w/ thoughts, if you please?

"The librarian told me that you have the book I'm looking for. If you can tell me the incantation on the Third Vertex Circle for Celican Mage spells, I'll leave you alone."

Knoll blinked and glanced down at the small pile of books in his hands. “Ah...Give me a moment.” He said quietly, finding a small table nearby to set the stack of books down. “Third Vertex Circle...” He muttered to himself, flipping through the books. When he found the correct one, he held the page open towards the other. “Is this what you are looking for?”

[dark-sorcerer-henry-blog]

"Ugh-- the shops are sold out of tomes. If you've any spellbooks, I'm willing to buy them secondhand... though, clearly, at a reduced price."

Henry looked as though he were considering it… as much as his expression usually changed, at least.

“I’d rather not.” he finally answered. “Haha, I don’t care to disrespect the magic held in these pages by selling them for less than they’re worth~”
