Raindrop Valkyrie

"It is a hearty meal for hearty people!" Curfew said his belly bouncing a little as he moved. He seemed to be dancing a little as he thought of the meal he was talking about. He started the fire, and seemed to be excellent at it. It had to come with how good a cook he was, as he would have needed fire to cook on the trail. He expertly controlled the levels of the flame, keeping it growing, but not going out of control. He must have done it many times before. He gathered all his ingredients into a giant pot that he put onto a folding table. The amount of things he pulled out of his bag were staggering. One began to wonder how important cooking was to the gnoll, considering he had to carry that giant pack with him after running off. He began to cut the vegetables for the gumbo cutting thin slices of carrots, onions, green peppers, spring onions, and all sorts of other fresh produce. "Could you watch the fire old bean?" he asked Sigurd politely. His paws were a whirling hurricane of speed. He expertly prepared everything quickly and yet beautifully as well. It was like watching a ballet of ingredients, and it's cook make them dance. He whistled a fine tune, probably one of gnoll origin, while he cooked. It sounded sweet and like the rolling wind. It had a rather ethereal tone to it as it lolled into the air. It made the spectacle even more the pleasure to watch. To think the simple act of cooking could be a show all on it's own. *** "Thank you, Nemesis did what she thought was right." Jupiter said. She blushed a little. It was nice of Marcus to care that she was ok. Most of the people she fought with didn't care. It was like they wanted her to get hurt back in the village. Not out of spite, but as an "I told you the battlefield was no place for a lady". She felt relieved that this group didn't think of like that, and accepted her help. "We should hurry up and get those herbs to help the others recover quickly."

It would have to be someone else.....because I have no idea what is even going on anymore....

I don't even know anymore......what is life?

What are you even talking about?

Woah, I never wanted this, she won;t stop following me around.

Yea, It is just I didn't want to break it up too much. I am used to writing in an RP, where I need to break up the wordings a lot but it feels to small in a story. I am not used to the transition yet, so glad you are bearing with me at least. It may be a little until I figure it out in full.

True, I was trying to decide if I should or not. I probably will space it out better later on lol.

Alrighty folks, Chapter 3 Is up now. I finally figured out how our new character would react etc... Please enjoy the read, I am very glad people are liking it so far.

I might XD, it is pretty fun I would imagine it is pretty sweet with a bunch of people ya know.

Remember, Elaine was guessing what was going on, she didn't really expect that to happen, so of course she waaaaaaaaaaaaaaas way off. Also keep in mind, I like to exaggerate for comedic effect and it kinda fits Elaine to do so. ((not for comdeic effect, but because she thinks in that way. She tends to blow things out of proportion or make them seem grander than they are.)) I am still writing it, having a bit of trouble characterizing our Mysterious stranger cause I haven't given her much thought yet, but it is getting there. ((I actually got stuck yesterday, my solution? Go to sleep maybe I will have something later XD.))

Ark has literally changed the song he gave to me. Have gotten 3 so far. 1 was was a joke apparently, but I am still counting it. ((and I know because I saved all of them to my random songs list on youtube.))

They aren't really fever dreams, but not going to say anything else on that. And Elaine is going to have some strange ass adventures. I mean....a woman just appeared on her desk, a woman she has been seeing in her dreams at least 3 times now. ((since at the beginning she mentioned she had it at least once before while having it, and then had it now. SO at least three times, but you knows how many others, as we know it is a reoccurring dream.))

XD, yea, I prefer tea...not jasmine tea. I prefer Earl Grey, but that doesn't sound like it would come from or being easily available in the Crystal Isles. ((the Crystal Isles are psuedo-japanese/western style kind of an area with my own spin on it. Earl Grey in the real world, is 1. named after a real person who doesn't exist in Graterras and 2. comes from Britain, so It would be an anomaly there in the Crystal Isles imo....)) But other than our preference of morning drink.....Elaine isn't much like me XD.

By the way, the coffee thing was almost directly me speaking.......dark coffee, not my thing lol. Also.....apparently I am good at dreams for some reason. Apparently, I am good at pretentious bullshit. YAY!!! I am guessing the music helped a bit though huh?

"Fine, my prince. If that is what you decree I shall listen, for now." she said. She smirked at him with her eyes, that kind of a stare. She sat back again, sliding even further down into the chair she was sitting upon. She closed her eyes, not to sleep, but to rest them for a bit. "Tell me when we are ready to leave." she said.

Arky called me Senpai the other day....no one calls me Senpai.

Also mine has super ties to the RP of mine, so the 2 are kinda linked. ((like reading the RP gives them an understanding of stuff they might otherwise miss.)). So while ti isn;t an adivertisment persay, I want people that read the RP to be albe to see it so they can read more lore about they world they are in, or that readers can as well. Also so that readers who first find my CW work can find what it is based on and get some clarity they might not already have. And I think it is fine to ask that of derivative works, or ones of non-friction. Plagiarism is something we need to figure out or not. ((not that it is bad, but if it really needs policing.))

YOu haven;t been on the server lately huh?

The thought is what counts, I won;t kill you anymore Arky-kun. ((unless you call me Senpai again.......then you aren;t getting out of it.))

Chapter 2 is live for all of those reading, it is a bit longer this time around. Might be a bit before I get to Chapter 3, but I have an overview of where I want this tale to go at least now. It is a rather weird tale, and one I am enjoying writing.
