Chevaleresse

"Are you just going to sit there and keep nettling me? My connection to the Goddess isn't a joke." She glared at Luka, though the fact that she had bright pink twintails may have made this somewhat less intimidating than it might have been. "What's your problem, anyway? I didn't do anything to you." Hoshiko leaned forward and pulled the bow close to her once more, ensuring it was nearby if someone truly villainous instead of simply unfaithful or irritating were to approach.

Hoshiko gave the dancer a flat look."In the wilds, you're either quick or dead. I happen to be the former." There was more than a hint of a smug grin on her face at that, though it quickly faded. "And I can't exactly trek hundreds of miles to my village to speak with the Goddess privately every time I need to do so." She sighed slightly herself, then shook her head. "Why do you care about what I'm upset about, anyway? Heroes work alone, we don't need people worrying about every little thing that gets on our nerves." As if to punctuate her point, she settled back down onto the ground, though she didn't close her eyes again quite yet.

Hoshiko jumped up in startlement, whipping out a hunting knife with alarming speed and . . . did she just do a flip? She dropped into a combat stance before realizing that it was just that dancer from before. "Hey, what do you think YOU'RE doing?!? Interrupting a hero during such important matters. . ." She put the knife back from where she had retrieved it, briefly checking her scarf to see if she had caught it with her hasty draw. "I was praying, by the way, not that the people around here seem to appreciate it." A definitely sour note entered her relatively high voice with this; the archer was clearly irritated by the previous conversation.

Can recruited Corrins inherit skills from other versions of themselves? E.g., my current Corrin has Astra, could the Archer version grab that? (Because lol 80% skill growth)

That's why, initially, I wasn't too concerned about having a Health bane on my Corrin. ...But now I'm level 30 and have 28 health, so there's that. Capable of one-rounding almost anything with decent luck, though.

WHO NEEDS HEALTH WHEN YOU HAVE SKILL RIGHT GUYS YEAH (though really it's not so bad because it lets you cheese by stacking skill proc rates super high; my corrin will pretty much land at least one astra or dragon's fang per round)

Alright, my castle should be updated with a lower-leveled and appropriately classed Corrin. (I don't have a bow for her though, oops)

Feel free to go and bother Hoshiko if you'd like, by the way. She probably wouldn't appreciate it, but eh.

"Hm. A difficult question, to be sure. If we split, I could likely dissemble and evade enough for people to dismiss your presence, or rather your lack thereof." He tapped his chin pensively. "Yes, that's probably.the best plan. You could set about locating a place to stay or-" he sighed and placed his fingertips on his forehead before continuing "-establish contact with the others, as they seemed all too eager to completely abandon any sense of cooperation. For that matter, should we split up, we should arrange a meeting location. As for what I'll be doing, I will likely be attending the seminars." He almost started to explain that it was a personal preference, but stopped himself - it was irrelevant, and Jorgen likely did not care regardless. He idly flipped through the folder as he spoke, most of his attention devoted to scanning the crowd to ensure no one happened to be suspicious of the pair - beyond the usual staring at the metal man, of course.

"Grr..." The archer stalked off toward the nearby woods, twintails bobbing as she unstrung her bow. Once she felt she was sufficiently isolated, she set to work caring for the weapon as needed, then folded herself into a crosslegged position and closed her eyes.

"Hmph. My fiery passion will prove you wrong soon enough. I hail from the Ishikawa clan, in Yukihana. The Goddess came to me and told me to come here and combat the injustice in this land." She said this last with a pointed look at Meredith.

"Fucking heathens, smh"

"Are you saying I wouldn't do the same? I will fight, whether I'm blasted, burnt, or bleeding, past the point where my very bones give in from the sheer strain, to end this grotesque parody of a rule. I pray because the Goddess gives me the strength of limb and heart to do this, and I pray for the distant miracle that no one else but those responsible for this are hurt. It may be a lofty ideal that's impossible in reality, but I am going to chase it nonetheless! You might call me a fool for putting my belief in the Goddess, and I might call you the same for not believing that there might be some force beyond mortal ken helping us in our quest." She closed her eyes and nodded, seemingly satisfied with her retort.

Hoshiko made an offended noise at Terrin's comment, but failed to follow him inside. She nods sharply at the old man's words. "Do not fear, we shall. I will keep your daughter in my prayers as I will the rest of those pressed into the service of evil."

"Haha! Feel the power of JUSTICE!"

whoops, my corrin is promo'd, i'll have to make another file

"Of course. I was fine where I was! It was just a scratch." She nodded sharply. "I am favored of the Goddess, after all."

Hoshiko, by this point, had managed to wriggle her way off of the wyvern, and had proceeded inside the building and then followed the prisoners back out. "It's a good thing the Goddess sent us to save you. Being conscripted to fight for a tyrant would have been a terrible fate indeed, but Hoshiko the Righteous was here to prevent it!" She struck a pose, her bow held horizontally with her right arm straight down, one foot forward, and the other arm at her back with her hand splayed out.

Corrin and Azura just get increasingly deserving of a hard slap across the face as the story progresses.

"I'm Gabriel Ardelean, and my dad is Jorgen!" He spoke with a cheery and, well, childlike voice, which may have been deeply jarring to Jorgen given Gabriel's normally even, almost somber tone. "We came all the way from Avalon Academy, and I was studying healing!" He put on a wide grin, but it was fairly quickly obscured as his hand drifted up over it.

"Hey, hey, what's the big idea!?!? Get that overgrown- I mean, the goddess will protect me just fine, I don't need your help!"

Should I be expecting a post from you, Notus, or moving on?
