Oh hai!

Sorry for the lack of posts the past feww... well...

*Looks at the calendar*

HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG!? OMG.

Uhh

yeahhh.... Months i guess. I'll come back with some fresh new posts but for now I need to sort out a lot of my things before I enter into my new educational stream and balancing time with my other projects.

Edit: I just noticed all my markdown formatted posts are broken. uhh welp.Have somme blue rice memes from Rays.

Eizen: Between your sword style and that giant blade you shoulder,I wonder if you've got Rangetsu blood in you. Rokurou: I do. What of it? Eizen: Have you heard the name Kushiyamata? I hear theyre smithswith some connection to House Rangetsu.   Rokurou: Yeah, theyre a distant relation. A clan of kitchen knifemakers. Why, are you interested in cooking? Eizen: No, I just heard they were fine blades. Thought one wouldmake a good gift. Rokurou: Don't. Kushiyamata knives are cursed. Eizen: Hmm?. Rokurou: The blades themselves are excellent, but they give whoeverholds one the urge to strike out at anyone and everyone. Rokurou: I've heard they use the blood of women they love in makingtheir blades, but the truth is a mystery.   Rokurou: They clan died out after they all turned on each other. Theblades were all supposed to be melted down into slag. Eizen: I suppose thats why talk of them is hard to come by thesedays.   Rokurou: Such is the fate of House Rangetsu... Or maybe its just inour blood.   Eizen: Sounds like theres even more to your clan than the rumorssay. Rokurou: Better than there being less, I suppose.  

[toskits]

Rokurou: Well, heres where the real show starts. Do we have a plan,First Mate? Eizen: The fortress guards are almost all ordinary soldiers. Just a handful of exorcists to deal with.   Rokurou: They went to the trouble to build this huge gate. You'd think they'd keep it better defended.   Velvet: [Coming In] You Don't need an army of exorcists to keep a bunch of disorganized pirates under control, do you?   Eizen: As long as they're fighting ordinary humans, the royal army would suffice.   Rokurou: So a few exorcists as officers is all they need.   Eizen: It was built as a symbol of the empire, but it seemsArtorius is the one really giving the orders.   Eizen: The Abbey directs security and defense, and imperial soldiers are under exorcist command.   Rokurou: We aim for the exorcists, then. The harder they are, the more fun it'll be...   Eizen: Ready to bust some heads?   Rokurou: Id rather cut them, actually.   Malak Number Two: ...  

[toskits]

Rokurou: A fortress with a sea gate that blocks the entire straight... Its crazy what the Abbey can build.   Velvet: Until recently I might not have believed it possible.   Eizen: Its no sweat, if You're using malakhim as tools.   Rokurou: If malakhim can be made a blade to fell daemons, they can also be made a hammer to forge metal.   Velvet: Its another way the Abbey and the kingdom show their dominance to the people.   Velvet: It says, "Do not resist. Submit."   Eizen: Its disgusting, is what it is...   Malak Number Two: Disgusting...   Velvet: Agreed.  

[toskits]

Rokurou: What are Turtlez, anyway? Eizen: Some sort of turtle men. Rokurou: Yeah, but what are they?. Eizen: They are what they are. All you need to know is that they're good at peddling things. Rokurou: They're probably just called Turtlez because they wear all those sea turtle shells on their backs. Eizen: After all, Rokurou means "sixth son," and that's what I am. Malak Number Two: I was Teresa's second tethered malakhim, so I was "Number Two". Rokurou: Thats a title, not a name. Malak Number Two: Huh? Rokurou: Would someone just give the kid a name already? Malak Number Two: A name... for me? Velvet: ...

[toskits]

Velvet: Come to think of it, Arthur hasn't requested his favorite dinner in a while... Velvet: Theres been so much going on, and the village always has him out hunting. Maybe he's just worn out? Velvet: That does it. Ill cook him up some prickleboar stew, just like Celica taught me. That ought to pick him right up! Velvet: A healthy portion of nourishing meat cures fevers and weariness alike.

[toskits]

Eizen: ...   [Rokurou and Velvet Joins]   Velvet: Looks like Aifread's first mate has a strange superstition.   Eizen: Its just a habit. Only comes up tails anyway.   Rokurou: What land did that coin come from? I've never seen a coin with a goddess on one side and the reaper on the other.   Eizen: Strictly speaking, thats not the reaper on the back. Its an image of the demon king, Dhaos...   Rokurou: Where have I heard that name before?   Malak Number Two: Martel, the goddess... and Dhaos, the demon king. The book of Ragnarok, chapter 765: "The Battle of Yggdrasill"   Eizen: Oho! You're awfully well read.   Eizen: The coin was dug up from some ancient ruins in another land They called the place Kharlan long ago.   Eizen: Its made from soft, ordinary gold, but they had some process to harden the metal and make it resistant to scratches.   Rokurou: Wow, thats a rather rare find, then.   Velvet: Do you like to read books?   Malak Number Two: Teresa's chamber was full of them, so I spent a lot of time reading.   Malak Number Two: Ragnarok is a record of battles from the age of myth. I've read it several times now. Velvet: ...   Velvet: Anyway, coins like that are hard to come by. Where did you get it?   Eizen: Its a long story.   Velvet: Never mind, then.   Rokurou: So, were you deciding something with that coin toss?   Eizen: Not anything I can talk about yet.   Rokurou: Oh. Im sorry for prying.

Rita Mordio

A short story/Skit crafted by Joshwoo70

Rita bursts into the light filled room of the inn. Short out of breath, she breaths heavily as Estelle rushes to assist her.

Estelle: Rita! are you alright?

Rita: *panting* Im fine! You don–

Estelle: Cmon Rita! your face is pale!

Judith: Its obvious! right yuri?

Yuri: Well its certainly a trait of her…

Rita: oh will you shut up? Dont rub any more salt into my wonds or yould end up like The old man!

The door opens. Raven clothes is partially burned and his face is black as charcoal. He collapses.

Rita: Yeah. dont be like him.

[Pan back to Raven and Rita when they were going out for trick or treating]

Rita: Havent we been to that house already?

Raven: Ya. been there, done that.

Rita: Think we are done here! [Checks of the house no. 542 off her list] lets get back to the inn.

Raven brings up a paper lantern, starts doodling. adding some eyes and a tongue.

Raven: [Showing the paper ball] BOO!

Rita: [Screams, scene from the image]

Rita: “O merciless conflagration, burn the very souls of my enemies! Crimson Flare!”

—-

Rita: annnd thats how pretty much he got charred.

Judith: My Rita… you gotta calm down on the fire attacks.

Rita: I wont, I cant and I LIKE IT!

Sharpening blades

Rokurou: All right, one last, good sharpening, and Ill call this blade done… Velvet: … Rokurou: Do your blades need sharpening, too? Id be happy to take care of it for you, if you want. Velvet: No thanks…. Velvet: I was taught never to leave my lifeline in the hands of another. Rokurou: Sure. Sounds like you found a good teacher. Velvet: … Rokurou: I Don’t care if its me who does it, as long as You’re keeping them well-maintained. Rokurou: Just in case you Don’t already know, after you sharpen your blades, you should rub them with clove oil and wipe them down with wool. Velvet: Yeah, I know… I was taught that, too. Velvet: (By the man who killed my brother…)

Heroric BSOD

(Velvet see's her own dead body after killing the beast, she's taken a back. She screams in anguish.) Eleanor: (Shocked)I-Is that..? Velvet: (Shocked) I... I'm dead... I'm dead.... Laphicet: (Angrily) Calm down, Velvet! This farce is just another of Innominat's illusions! (Innominat fades in.) Innominat: "Farce?" How callous. That "farce" is the true face of my sister. (Velvet Gasps. Flashbacks of events in the story) Innominat: She hates, resents, devours, and kills. Innominat: She tramples people, cities, everything, living only by her emotions... Innominat: What an ugly, tainted soul. Laphicet: (Angrily) Its not like that! Innominat: Nothing you say will matter. She knows. She knows if its the truth. Velvet: ... He's right. (Velvet Kneels down on the floor) Velvet:. (Realization) Just think. Everything I did was baseless, arrogant... And even so, I still.... Innominat: You hurt so many innocent people, didn't you? Velvet: More than I can count... I devoured and killed so many... Innominat: Without even knowing Arthurs true aims.... Velvet: I destroyed people... I destroyed whole towns.... Innominat: And worse yet, you didn't even show mercy to your own sister's reincarnation. Velvet: (Voice Breaking) I... ate her... Innominat: And despite all of that, I still love you, Velvet. Thats why I chose to become a sacrifice. For you, sister. Innominat: But think, if you try to stop the resurrection, wouldnt my death be all for nothing? Innominat: To tell you the truth, I was terrified of dying. It was so dark... Velvet: (Crying) I'm sorry... I-I'm so sorry... Innominat: You'll accept it, then? That everything you've done up until this point, all of it... Velvet: (Crying) Yes. It was all for nothing, for no one. Velvet: (Crying) I hurt so many people, all for no reason. I'm a monster. Innominat: If you've accepted it, you have to atone for your sins. Innominat: Once I eat the final two malevolences inside you, I'll fully awaken. Give them to me. Give me your hatred, your despair. Innominat: If you do, I can cleanse this world of all its pain. Innominat: I had hoped... that you could live in a world without pain and sadness. Innominat: But You're a monster now. You Don't belong there.

Laphicet: (Shouting) Velvet! (Laphicet Rushes to grab Velvet by her hand, Eleanor and Rokurou are pushed backwards, Eizen see the Fake Velvet's body being eaten up by a mouth coming from the arte.) Velvet: Let me go... I have to go.... Laphicet: (Refusing) No...! Velvet: If you Don't... You'll die too for no reason. Laphicet: No! Velvet: (Voice Breaking) A twisted monster like me doesn't deserve to live...(Sobbing) Don't you understand? Laphicet: Grrgh! Innominat: You're the reincarnation of the first sacrifice. Part of me Don't worry. Ill devour you too. Eizen: Laphicet, tell this self-absorbed idiot what she needs to hear! (Eizen hold Laphicet by his leg and chaining himself to the ground using artes.) Velvet: Please, let me go....

Laphicet: (Shouting) Will you STOP WHINING?! Velvet: Hu--?! (True Will plays in the Background) Laphicet: No, I Don't "understand"! Laphicet: You snap at people! You're scary! You--You tried to eat me! Laphicet: But... You're also kind... And You're filled with life! Laphicet: I Don't understand a single thing about you! Laphicet: But you gave me a name, when I was a number! Laphicet: You gave me that compass! You taught me what it meant to be alive! Laphicet: Thats why I care about you, Velvet! Ill protect you for my own sake! Velvet: Phi.... Laphicet: I Don't care if You're malevolent! Or if it was pointless! Laphicet: (Screaming) If the world says its a mistake to love you, Ill fight the whole world! I Don't care HOW much pain you feel! Laphicet: It doesn't matter! A world without you, Velvet... (Velvet Demon Arm Starts Eating Laphicet in Instinct) Laphicet: Gggnngh... is the one thing I couldn't bear! Velvet: Let me go... My hand will.... Laphicet: Eat my arm. I Don't care. Just... leave me the other one. Laphicet: I need it to clobber the jerk who made my Velvet cry! Velvet: (sobbing) I... I loved them all.... Velvet: (sobbing) I loved Laphi, and (crying) Celica... Arthur, everyone... Velvet: (voice breaking) To have it all stolen from me... Why them? Why not me? Velvet: (sobbing) IT HURT SO MUCH! Innominat: (Surprised)Your despair... How is it gone?! (The Arte Shatters Innominat falls to the ground, The Earthen Historia Plays a Segment.) Seres: A flame burns in my heart, too. A flame I cannot quench, no matter how hard I try. Just like you, Velvet. Velvet: ... I finally understand how you felt. Velvet: But the only one I can fight for... is myself. Seres: (Smiling) Thats good enough. Thats proof that you are truly alive. (Velvet Reaches out to Seres with her Demon Arm. Seres Vanishes into a burning flame,The Earthen Historia Disappears in a flash. Reaching towards her heart, she pledges. Turns around towards the closing earthpulse. She Forces the Earthpulse to open again. Causing a trail of fire shooting out from the earthpulse to blow away Innominat. It Reopens.)

Laphicet Crowe: Uh, welcome home, Velvet. Velvet: Laphi! I told you to stay in bed! Laphicet Crowe: I was only up for a little. Velvet: Look, your fever hasn’t gone down a bit! Go lie down and Ill cook dinner. Laphicet C.: … I’m sorry. Velvet: Whats this?. Laphicet C.: A compass! It uses a magnet to tell you which way You’re facing. Velvet: Woo hoo. You can use the sun and stars for that. Laphicet C.: And what’ll you do if its cloudy, huh? Thanks to this invention, well even be able to voyage across the ocean! Laphicet C.: See? Its designed to stay level, so your heading will be true even when the ship is rolling with the waves. Laphicet C.: Pretty neat, right? Velvet: If you say so, Laphi. Laphicet C.: C'mon, its a must-have for any adventure! Cant you see how useful it is? Velvet: You can tell me more about it later. Laphicet C.: Did they hurt you? Velvet: Not a scratch, and I brought back plenty. Velvet: I can hear Arthur already. “Gosh, Velvet, I think its time you learned all my secret artes!” Laphicet C.: He isn’t coming home tonight, is he? Velvet: How do you know that? Laphicet C.: Seres stopped by and told me. Velvet: Arthurs malak? Velvet: Huh. You really can talk to malakhim, cant you? Laphicet C.: Yeah. Arthur says I’ve got exorcist potential… Velvet: No kidding. I think you’ll be an exorcist to rival even him. Laphicet C.: I can tell you’ve been learning all sorts of things from his book collection. Laphicet C.: I really want to become an exorcist. I want to go traveling with you and see all the wonders of the world. Laphicet C.: Ill hunt and chop firewood. And if daemons come for us,Ill defend you. Laphicet C.: I wish… I wish I could do that… Velvet: You’ll get there, Laphicet. It should only take… Velvet: Oh, 20 years, tops. Laphicet C.: It wont take me that long! Velvet: Oh yeah? You better prove it to me, then. Velvet: Start with this lovely meatball stew I cooked. Eat every last mouthful, even if you Don’t feel hungry. Velvet: And take your medicine, no matter HOW nasty it tastes. No tricks. Am I clear? Laphicet C.: Yes, ma'am.

Skit No. 789

Eleanor: Ugh… Saletomah is as awful as I remember. Id hoped Id never have to drink it again. Laphicet: Are you all right, Eleanor? Rokurou: Is this your second experience with the corsairs scourge? Eleanor: No, I had it for a different reason. In the Abbey, its tradition for initiates to drink saletomah as part of their welcoming festivities. Velvet: Sounds like hazing to me. Eleanor: When everyone shares the same experience, drinking something so shockingly revolting, our bonds are strengthened. Its a good thing. Rokurou: If you say so. Eleanor: I really did believe Id never have to taste it again. Eleanor: To be blunt, I hate it. Magilou: You’re lucky you think it tastes so terrible. That means you also know what tastes good. Magilou: Right, Velvet? Velvet: … Eleanor: What does that mean? Laphicet: Velvet… cant taste anything aside from blood. Eleanor: What?! Eleanor: (Is that… because shes a daemon?) Velvet: Im aware of one other flavor. Magilou, heres your dose of saletomah. Magilou: N-Noo! Velvet: Get back here! Magilou: D-Don’t! Keep that salemmrrphh… away from mmrrphh! Magilou: Auuugh! Bleeeeech! Eleanor: I-I see. The sweet taste of another’s suffering…

[toskits]

Skit 751

Rokurou: That reminds me, where do you think that boy who took the compass ran off to? Velvet: Hellawes, Id imagine, since malakhim are always tethered to exorcists. Rokurou: That means we might run into him during our attack. Velvet: Are you getting squeamish about killing the boy because you feel indebted to him for healing you? Rokurou: No. If he gets in the way, Ill take him down. But... Velvet: "But"? Rokurou: I have to remember to thank him first. Velvet: Right. Rokurou: Does that bother you at all? Velvet: No, not really. I just know that malakhim Don't taste very good. Rokurou: Malakhim Don't suit your palate? Ill call that a positive.

[toskits]

Skit No. 750

Rokurou: You really go all out, Don't you? Velvet: What do you mean? Rokurou: Look. You're using Dyle, threatening the guild, abandoning Magilou... You see? Velvet: Im not abandoning her. She can take care of herself. Rokurou: Nothing stops you, does it? Velvet: Theres a lot I Don't understand about Magilou, but I know she wont be killed so easily. Velvet: Besides, Im sure shes already told the Abbey everything she knows about us. Rokurou: You're probably right. Velvet: That means we need an ace up our sleeve. Like a daemon they believe to be dead.
