Chevaleresse

Edmond would probably want to withdraw his head fairly quickly, as the shouting quickly increased in volume with a flash. "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Suddenly, there was a woman flying down the hallway at high velocity - something that did not appear to be voluntary - and ricocheting between the walls and floor. Each hit showed the telltale flash of a magical ward - not that Edmond knew exactly what that looked like - and a short interruption to the sound the woman was making as she grunted at the impact. She eventually skidded into a doorway and stopped there in a heap. "Oooowwww. . ."

"No matter how many of you knaves appear, you will never QUENCH the JUSTICE THAT BURNS WITHIN MY SOUL!" I15, longbow monk

Edmond's reverie was broken by something rather odd. A noise. More specifically, was that someone shouting? It sounded like it was coming from the hall that met this one at a right angle, but a loooong ways away.

[Fail] Mar's attempt at a physical repair doesn't work; it's not a flaw in the item's physical construction, but rather the haphazard way the spell was applied. However, he did shape it into the desired form. [20 vs 22] He creates the bauble, but he feels like it might not last forever even if not moved. The Little Sneak creates simple plates of stone armor that look visually similar to the armor it had previously possessed, suits of which still dotted the halls in places. It also makes two dots and a line for a "face."

Little Sneak creates a small, vaguely humanoid figure out of silicon. It possesses it, but then looks rather frustrated; the figure rocks back and forth a couple times, and eventually upends itself, toppling over onto the ground.

Mitsurugi turns her head toward Kyle for a moment. "Quiet, child." She then accepted Snow's invitation, heading into the room. "Thank you." She selected a pillow or three to substitute for a mat, and set herself up near the back of the room, almost but not quite leaning against the wall as she sat down crosslegged with her hands in her lap.

"I. . . see." So this Snow was the avatar of a god named Aelia from another world. No, not avatar, the distinction was different. A servant of hers, raised high. "I should introduce myself before intruding upon your privacy. I am Saigai Mitsurugi, a goddess of storms and natural disaster in my . . ." She trailed off for a moment. "Her world" was no longer something that existed outside her own mind. The only thing that remained of it was her spirit and the blade she carried. Unless there were others that had survived somehow, cast about a greater universe they hadn't known of. The immortals that couldn't be destroyed, the one who already lived in a space outside reality. . . "It is good to meet you, Snow Ashford. Would you mind if I shared this space with you?"

"The fairies I know are never larger than a girl of about twelve years." Except that freak from hell, she added mentally. This woman was strange. She felt different from the others. Familiar. . . yet different. Almost like a miko but at the same time definitely not. Mitsurugi bowed her head slightly. "I apologize once again; I was trying to move on and find a place to meditate myself."

Hiroki nods, clambering out from underneath the table and dusting herself off before wrapping her cloak about her. She stepped onto Eon's tail, gingerly at first, as if expecting to fall through or be burned. She let up briefly; the sensation of the dragon's exterior was odd, to say the least. Smooth, but somehow warm and cold at the same time. Still, it was better than the floor, and so she lowered herself onto it, curling up and using the cloak as a makeshift blanket.

Mitsurugi nods. "Is that strange? You're nearly as tall as I am; you must tower over your compatriots." She supposed the fairies of this world could be different. It was odd that she hadn't seen any, but only passingly; this was a castle, and as nature spirits they might simply not appear here. "Who is in that room?"

Hiroki gazes at the dragon for a moment. That was. . . a little strange. Okay, it was really strange, but this had been a really strange day. And oddly enough, the celestial being didn't seem to bother her overmuch, though otherwise the room seemed to be getting a bit crowded. "Um, are you sure that's okay?"

Hellfire Knight vs LOLI_HUNTER What's she doing? She's just standing there, blocking. Why isn't she attacking? Is there some sort of special ability in her mech? Is it the ice? Or. . . no. She actually has a reason to be here. Deciding that taking the risk of some sort of counterstrike was worth the potential damage, Hiroki angled her shoulder guns inward slightly, and then squeezed the trigger inside her mech, sending a trio of white-hot beams of plasma directly toward Kagari's current position.

"You are the largest fairy I have ever seen." She tried to keep the mild annoyance out of her voice. It was true that she shared some passing similarities to the nature spirits, being a deity closely associated with it herself, but fairies tended to be irritants at best. And speaking of irritants, there was now what sounded like a woman shouting at the group because the Outsider had made noise himself. Still, she couldn't say she disagreed; she'd hoped to find a bit of quiet herself, to sit down and recuperate, to process everything she'd experienced today. There was still a part of her that surged with terror, that this was some sort of vision as she died, as those. . . things feasted on her soul as they had done on reality itself. The part that threatened to collapse in on itself with grief. She took a slightly deeper breath than normal. "My apologies, it should not happen again."

"There's nowhere better to sleep." She couldn't exactly claim it was comfortable, though. She was used to expensive beds at home and the accommodations provided to the tournament participants; a stone floor with a cloak bundled up on top of it wasn't exactly the best surface for sleeping.

The golden-eyed woman nods. "Very well, then. Know that I, Saigai Mitsurugi, God of Disasters, will lend you my power whenever you find it necessary to call on it." She looks curiously at Empi drifts by, then glances back at Isobel and LOTUS. "Are fairies of her size common in this world?"

Hiroki, for her part, has set up camp in on of the corners while she waits. She used her mech to carry a table over, and then spread her cloak across the floor beneath the table while leaving the tablecloth in place; she's currently curled up underneath the table, trying to catch a bit of shuteye before her next fight.

"If there is someone here who truly wishes you harm, this quest is doomed already. Given that there has been no hostile intent toward you, I think your reaction is unfounded. Unless I have misjudged those here, of course." She starts to walk past the door and Kyle, looking for her own place to rest and meditate. "Kurosawa, as to your earlier question, I can lend you my power. I am afraid it is not large, but I will assist as I can. You can channel gods, then?"

Mitsurugi winces at the man's noise. She'd been hoping for peace and quiet, not. . . grown men shrieking at the top of their lungs over spiders or something. "Was whatever is in that room really that frightening?"

A massive set of three rooms, and the scene of the party's main intrusion. An entrance hall leads to an antechamber which leads to the throne room and the controls for the castle tank; the antechamber has been converted into a Heartless manufactory, which was recently dismantled by the party.

A set of smaller chambers meant to house the staff that kept the castle maintained when it was inhabited.

The "tank" part of the castle, this contains two offices and an extended room housing the majority of the workings that power the immense vehicle's movement. The engines are rusted and badly in need of attention, and it smells of burned grease, metal, and a bit of smoke.

A set of sparse, functional rooms meant to house squads of soldiers, connected to an armory, smithy, and mess hall. Unfortunately, the armory has largely been stripped clean, as has the mess, but the smithy still has a few miscellaneous mundane ingots and such left behind.
