Raindrop Valkyrie

I figured as much. No issue, no issue.

That be helpful so I know exactly how far Vixen can fire within the city etc... from certain locations. Also... serious question here Acqui... about how loud was that chanting for the Spell. I kinda need a rough idea. ((I don't want to straight say Ashnard heard you to be fair, but he is probably hyper-sensitive to sound to some degree. After all, talking means humans... and humans means tasty tasty food.))

Vixen The preparation, it was now finished. This first night could begin. When they first arrived Vixen used the opportunity within her spirit form to look for vantage points to scout the area. This city was relatively new, though it's layout close enough to the one she hailed from to draw some comparisons. She looked around for the tallest building or at least one with enough eight to see most of the city around her. Her range would be able to reach most places as well being a Sniper after all, however she wasn't going to attack anytime soon. The kid desired her to remain hidden for the night and to not make any drastic moves. It was best her presence be unknown. Luckily Vixen was good at this task, as good as an assassin class servant at the least. After all, she was renowned for her ability to remain... unknown from the general populace in her own world. Not many of the factions knew of her. They knew only of the Legends of the Vixen of the Forest. A supposed killer from the dark. The details on her varied from faction to faction and person to person. Some painted her as a more heroic figure, others... as a monster that leapt to prey on the weak. Vixen knew the truth of her own actions, though the stories... some were close. Though her cloak was a bit of an odd wardrobe selection, it wasn't enough to make people crazy suspicious. Especially due to her calm matter of fact demeanor and that for once... all her weapons were properly hidden away to not be seen by passersby. Not a soul really payed attention to her as she approached the vantage point she'd use for the night. A large building, probably office space located in the Commercial district right where her and the kid had landed in the city. It was luckily close by, a great break indeed. It's was almost too convenient, but she took what she was given. After she had gotten to the top she removed a pair of binoculars from her overcoat. While she would normally just use her scope lens, this time she decided it was best not to have the urge to pull the trigger. If she didn't have out her firearms, there was no opportunity of her expending any unnecessary rounds and no chance of her being detected this early in the War. It was what her Master had asked of her, though she didn't feel satisfied with that answer. She'd rather finish this job already than wait around. It was naive to savor one's victory like this kid wanted to do. That was how you gave your opponents time to sruge back against you and pull the unexpected out from their bag of desperate tricks. Vixen... she wasn't fond of the notion. It'd be best to eliminate their foes rather than wait. But for this night she would. No longer though would she wait than this.

Question... Where would the highest place be within the city? I assuming somewhere in the Residential or High Class districts but asking to make sure. I think Vixen would be able to discern as such to get a good view of the city etc... but jsut want to be led in the correct direction rather than making it up off the top of me head lol.

Oh sorry. Why do I have the dreadful memory in remembering Strat's RPs? I always do for some reason and don't know why lol.

Ashnard The beast had arrived now as the question was asked. A huge Werewolf, like ones of Legend was standing on the road. It had swung into the scene by flinging from building to building and it finally landed in the street. It was moving at such speed that when it landed the ground beneath it cracked under it's immense weight and the speed it was traveling. The brown furry blur had slowed to a stop as it howled wildly. It had arrived at about where it master had specified. It sniffed and searched for the prey it had been sent to kill. It wasn't paying the most of attention it's senses clouded with the thoughts of murder and blood. It was pre-occupied thinking about killing something that it's senses were somewhat dulled. Not in truth were they but in practicality as the beast plodded around it's mind fixated on one thing. The scent of blood would be the biggest draw. All those nearby, they could hear the low growling, the monstrous noises it was making as it tried to quiet down to very little effect. It's plodding footsteps shook the ground ever so slightly as it walked around searching for signs of life to destroy. If one looked at the beast... they'd notice small sparks of pale green electricity jumping between its fur. It caused it to stand on end, making the beast look ever larger than it already did. It was charged with... some sort of energy. The energy of the hunt perhaps? Either way, it was now here, but it didn't know of any around it. It was only looking for specific smells as it's brain was fixated on blood,.. the scents of murder, death, and others of that nature.

lol, you never know Noir. You never know. ((Assassin never has fun in direct combat ever though, Berserker in their element is always direct combat. They don't have the brain capacity to do anything else.)) Also, don't feel bad trying to bow out if it turns bad or something. It's eaaaaaaaaaarly in the war. There is bound to be times people get away etc and every encounter doesn't have to be 100% fatal lol.

1. He doesn't know where you are ((or that he's hunting you to be precise lol.)) and you know exaaaaaaaaaaaactly where he is. 2. He's a Berserker. While his statline looks stupid overpowered... remember it comes at the cost of reasoning skills and upper metal facilities. and lastly 3. to be more than a bit blunt... Assassin's are usually considered the weakest Class along with Caster. Both tend to have lower attributes etc... It's getting around their shortcomings that is a true feat. Trust me, your are not at as much a disadvantage as you think you are.

Ashnard ((in the vicinity of Debronee and Yukine)) But, a bump in the night... it was heard. Or maybe more of a crash. It cut the man's question short as the loud crashing and howling of a beast sounded through the night. It broke the silent air with the roars of darkness and pure unbridled hatred. They sounded in-human, and full of murderous rage. They, the calls of madness. Clearly, this being did not mean to parley, nor did it care that it could be heard as it approached. It might to strike fear into the hearts of those it was drawing near to paralyze them into inaction. It snarled and howled and all the while the sounds of crashing got closer and closer. The clattering of stone and house sidings ringing in the night as the beast crashed it's way towards what it was hunting for. It was looking for any pound of flesh it could get it claws into at the moment and it was traveling at high velocity... it would be there quickly b how frequently the smashing of buildings could be heard and how close the sound was getting. They might have gotten out of one danger, but it only lead them towards the maw of the beast. The hate-laden jaws of Ashnard...

It makes you less likely to be noticed by a lot yes. ((attacking or wielding things that are something like Identity-based give you away as a servant pretty fast as well. It's why Ashnard who would have it under normal circumstances no longer has it as Berserker. One... he's in his True Form so it's hard to hide his true nature, and two, He doesn;t have the mental capacity to on top of that.)) Heck Vixen has it as well because she is a very stealth based Archer. ((she's definitely a possible Assassin, but her ranged poweress makes her align with the Archer Class more than Assassin as her attacks exist to kill beasts and monsters so they tend to be a bit much for assassination [even though she's used them for that lol.],)) SO yea it certainly helps you go undetected as a servant or in general, Also, Ashnard's not there yet but when he arrives... he'd attack any humans at this point, just seeing you he would attack most likely same with if he sees Yukine. ((even though I believe he was expressly told not to attack the Master.)). On the bunnying thing... I'm not sure what exactly you are referring to, but I suppose the person you are asking knows more on the sitaution so I'll let them handle it and answer that for ya lol.

Well it would break the point quite a lot. We're in a way, trying to capture that essence of playing that Pokemon game for the first time again. That feeling we all got when we found a region that was all full of new mons that we had never seen before the wonderment of exploring that region etc... Of course this is prompting us to take not only notes from the main series but from other fan-games etc and jsut games in general. A lot fo influences might be seen in the game from other Generations... but funnily enough Gen 5 is a big one. Taking that amount of story and going with it in our own way. I think we probably have more story elements than BW or BW2 did. And we're going to hope to not go off the bloody rails quite like X and Y lol. But, We really want people to experience this as if they were playing a new region for the first time, back in the days before the internet was around to spoil everything quickly. We want to capture that feeling of being a kid again, tearing open that packaging, and diving into a new game. It suuuuper ambitious and definitely going to be a tough journey and tall order to do this. But, I promise those that do play Se7en, don't ruin it for yourselves. You'll want to discover the mons as you go, the Region as it exists. I think One will have the most amount of enjoyment. I think it be a disservice to yourself to do so as it defeats the purpose of what we are attempting to capture lol. Of course, we cannot stop those that want to from doing it lol. But, I think it definitely doesn't fit what we are trying to do here. THat's all I can say lol.

So... is Ashnard hunting Yukine and Debronee or is he hunting what's his face and Lily? Just so I'm sure. Don't know currently which is why my latest post doesn't have him find them etc... or even get close but that he's in transit so to speak. Also, the fun thing is that which ever group it is can hear him coming so they can react to a loud loud werewolf coming towards them!

Hmmm, I know that my Macbeth I wouldn't really change much lol. He was pretty feature complete XD. I don't feel like digging that up though so yea...

Ashnard The Beast instantly popped into existence right in front of his Master. The only words he really understood was attack and servant. His bloodlust cut off the rest of the unintelligible white noise. It leapt forth bounding into a wall and knocking out parts of the structure with it's ugly claws. The inhuman strength caused damage to the structure, but not in a way that would cause it to collapse. He leapt from building to building tearing his claws into the side to grip and then push off to gain more momentum. Stone and siding clattered against the ground as he went leaving his master far behind due to his great speed. Thoughts of tearing something limb from limb enters his mind, the feel of blood on his fur and skin. It was so tantalizing... so strong, so powerful. He wanted to feel the warm blood roll down his face and taste the flesh of a Human or servant. He would devour them in ecstasy. He speeded towards his goal driven by the lust for the blood, the desire to soak in the life essence of another being. He would feast on the bones of his foes. He would tear rend and rip out their organs and taste their sweet erotic flavors. The forbidden game... humans. Now that he wasn't one he could dine on them all he liked. The Most Dangerous game he now hunted. All he left Siegfried to follow was a path of rubble from the buildings. It was not intentional, he cared not if his Master even showed up to this hunt. It be better if he didn't, cause Ashnard just might dine on him too.

Vixen Vixen sighed audibly. This kid... it's be interesting working with this one for sure... "Whatever you say kid, but don't be sleeping too long. We've got work to do." Luckily for Vixen, other than her blue hair, she didn't really stick out too much. On top of this she was a master of not being seen. She had gone on undetected for years in her own time, years and years of this. She was the hunter of beasts... and many beasts that mascaraed as humans. These Urban environments, she was used to treating them as Urban Jungles, the forest of metal and stone. She was the Vixen of the Forest and of the City. The elusive predator that many were warned about, but almost none saw. However, if one such as her was summoned to this affair... surely others that were just as powerful were as well. She couldn't expect this to be easy despite her strengths and underestimating the others... would be a mistake. Even if she was sure of the victory in her grasp, it is those that assumed victory was theirs... that saw it slip from their grasp. It was never becoming to think you had one, until you did win and it sat within your own hands. She would eventually set out on her own and survey the land, but for now she commenced with her gear check. She took apart all of her guns and looked to make sure nothing was wrong with nay of them or if there was any damage. Of course... there wasn't, but She had to make sure. She checked at least 7 to 8 different pockets for their respective hidden knives finding each and every one of them in their place. And lastly she checked her bullets and ammo supply. There was loads of it. And some of them, glowed faintly. Some light blue, others a pale green. some a soft violet, and others... a brilliant cerulean. She counted them quickly and tallied the number of each she had and how many total she had left to create new ones with. She did it quickly and with great efficiency. She had work to do and wanted to get this check over with. She accidentally knocked her revolver off the table in her haste though. The loud crash of something metal hitting the floor permeated the otherwise quiet room. Oops. Hopefully wouldn't happen again. She was nearly ready to set out before doing one last check over her gear.

Ah I see that now. Thaaaaaaaaank you. I'm still telling you I'm going to forget this exists all the time... lol.

First... I'm always going to forget this thing XD. Second... which is VIxen? THat Purple and Blue to me are so similar I can't actually tell the difference. In the text at least... the markers are different enough that I can tell, but the text I can't XD.

Yea, Vixen doesn't call one kid because of age reasons, but more because of maturity or certain impressions ((as long as they are even remotely younger than. Like more than a year gap.)) It's just the way she is. It's also a way she can avoid ever calling them by name. She basically find excuses all the time to not refer to people by name. It's just kinda her thing lol ((she she certainly doesn't like calling her Master. Because to her, no one controls her, even if the so called "Command Spells" can she doesn't believe they are true control.))

No, she hasn't. Vixen wouldn't ask either. She be more likely to call her kid anyway.... I'm surprised I didn't make her do such already lol. ((I think it was cause I wasn't sure of Onyx's age at the time.))

Arky-kun!!! We neeeeeeeeeed you!!! Also... I was going to say something about it being weird that I have 2 characters and yet probably the lowest number of posts yet... then I remembered one of mine is a Berserker... which can't freakin' talk... and Vixen who isn't the biggest talker ever since she is big ol' Ice Queen XD. It actually... totally makes sense.

Vixen "Oh yes... Planes. I don't think they'd be too happy with me trying to bring firearms onto on of those would they?" The woman quipped. They were very concerned with... security and what not in airports to Vixen's knowledge. She know quite a bit about these times... though not through practical hands on interactions. Though luckily for her... most of her world was very similar. It clicked quickly with her as where she came from... was nearly the same. "But yes... as I am sure you know servants can take a spirit form. I would reason I can as well. So, I can do as such when you are traveling there. This be simpler if I didn't need my weaponry, but I do and it certainly isn't very concealable. So, even though I'd rather just travel in my normal form... it's not realistic." With that her form vanished the chair she was sitting in still sitting in the middle of the circle. She followed after the woman that was her master. "Let's get this over with."

Vixen "I'm efficient... deadly. I do not like to toy with those I hunt because in my life... I didn't have the time to do so. If I let them live... they would do irreversible damage to everything around them. As such, I am not a big fan of that approach. I'd rather get this war over and done with out of the way. However... I cannot stop you from employing the methods you desire while I apply my own." The blue haired woman said still flicking her lighter. She took a deep breath and leaned back once more, her eyes still firmly shut. "As for my wish..." she paused for a moment. As if she was pondering what to say... or was it an expression of pain? It was hard to tell in the darkness. It was such a short flash of an actual emotion on her face that it was barely recognizable before it vanished. "I'd undo something I never wanted to happen." She breathed deeply "Anyway... Master..." she said still disdain lingering on that title. "Shall we win this war already?"

Even in Arena it's hard to Justify. You can't hit face with it. It just not very flexible... yes it kills anything pretty much, but... it doesn't negate deathrattles so for one mana less you cna jsut pick up Polymorph and hard remove that way... the 1/1 is pretty easy to deal with. ((hell... honestly this might sound like a stupid thing to say... but the new card Polymorgh: Boar is still beter since the Huffer's charage doesn;t matter on an enemy has 2 health being easy enough to remove, and it is flexible in that you can use it on a shitty minion etc... ((or attack with a minion then polymorph it into Huffer and it gets to attack again.)) I jsut think other spells are more Felxible than Flame Lnace... making it a reather mute card that doesn;t have a really good purpose other than it's around lol.

Vixen and Onyx "If you were useless... I doubt I'd be sitting here." Vixen said, her emotion of choice still a bitter coldness. "Just don't get in my way, I work best alone. I don't care for working with others, they just get in the way. I'm sure you know that... or maybe you don't. If you want me to remove Masters as well, speak now. I'd be best I know the perimeters you wish for me to be meeting than wait for later. Unless of course you want to deal with the Masters yourself." She kept flicking the zippo over and over, it didn't add much but it certainly created a soft orange glow around the upper part of the woman's body now that it was dark. She still leaned back not opening her eyes. "Why do you choose this? If you don't mind me asking. Surely the Grail War isn't something one does under normal circumstances. Are yours something extraordinary I should be aware about? I assume you have some reason for all this bollocks; Why you choose to put yourself through this? I honestly don't care if you answer. I'm just asking because I can. But, no answer definitely still lets me know the kind of person you are."

I think we'll see. A lot of these are sorta hard to evaluate without watching them in action. ((One thing I've noticed is that every single Hunter Card for the most part... Pushes Control Hunter. Literally... every single card they got. I don't think it's enough support to make it a deck mind you but it's definitely pushing it closer as an archetype.)) I'm just going to say that we will see where it goes. 100 some odd cards coming out are veeeeery hard to evaluate without playing them. Fencing Coach, the 3 Mana 2/2 that makes your next Hero Power usage Free... literally pushed Inspires to being a lot more usable. Because it sets up the combo to work on the turn you summon the Inspire Minion rather than the turn after or having to wait until you have the mana to play it and Hero power at the same time. I think we might see some new things be played around with cause there is a lot of good in the Expansion it's just a lot of good for decks that might not exist or have the support needed to exist quite yet. Kinda wished they added a few more dudes with the Totem Tribe though just to make Tuskar Totemic more interesting and to give Shammy some more fun Minions to play with. ((also... damn does that Card Draw Card in Shammy still hurt... why does it ahve to be Overload 2!?!?!?!?!? Why you do dis Blizz?))
