A cry for help

[a distress call has been tracked across the void, finally leading back to the source. a hulking crippled ship, teeming with hostile alien life, now lies before you.

what do you do? do you dive in or hang back? are you here to learn, play, build, or observe?

however you choose to proceed, your audience is out there somewhere, watching.]



ooc: here is a good ol' themed mingle to get you all started! and don't feel limited by the prompts and what they describe--they're just there as idea-starters, so feel free to go anywhere and do anything.

have fun!

[This feels very odd, arguing over the well-being of a child while she's just right there to add her own opinion, but the case is closed and once Elize is standing beside her again, she puts her hand on her shoulder again, squeezes lightly to show her approval and support.]

Between the two of us, she isn't in any danger. I know you worry for her but if you'll think logically for a moment you know I'm more than a match for anything we'll find here. I have more than just a few spells at my disposal.

[Like a magic sword and a hand that can rip open time and space. It's really fine.]

She wants to help and practice will only improve her abilities. [Now she looks at Elize, giving her an encouraging smile.] You'll follow our orders and stay close, right?

[ She looks back up at Jove with a smile, then Cullen's apologetic look is met with a stern look as she crosses her arms. It feels almost similar to traveling with Jude and the others again. They were split on allowing a child as young as her accompanying them on their journey...

She's confident in her abilities, already considered to be a master spirit channeler. She might seem nothing more than just a child, but she's familiar with being in combat with allies by her side. ]


Right. I promise I'll stay close.

[He really, really, really wants to insist that now isn't the time for practice, but he knows when he's outnumbered.

Cullen sighs, shaking his head, but motions for Jove to lead the way.]

Stay between Cullen I, Elize.

[There's probably going to be some awkwardness later, but for now Jove starts slowly down one of the dark hallways. She keeps her staff at the ready in her right hand, but the left she lifts up into the air. Green energy crackles around her hand, flickering and flaring before it steadies off into one constant light source.

Maybe not the best use for the Anchor, but the green light that floods the hallway is better than nothing.]

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-14 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Better than nothing. Elize hates the dark. And just as she promised, she stays close by remaining between the two. She leans a bit to the side, trying to see if she can spot anything down the hall. ]

Jove's magic is amazing...

[ Hopefully she's not being too distracting by talking a bit, but she wanted to compliment Jove... ]
serves: (thought i'd find her in a bottle)

[personal profile] serves 2015-06-14 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Cullen says nothing, glancing back over his shoulder. The girls can talk, he'll just be waiting for some sort of beast to try and slaughter them.]
dawnwillcome: (Stand your ground)

[personal profile] dawnwillcome 2015-06-14 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Really, she didn't expect Cullen to sulk. She's also no stranger to banter during a mission, so Elize speaking is entirely allowed.]

What you did was impressive too. [If a little creepy, but she does hang around with a man who regularly gets the spirits of fallen enemies to fight on their side for a few minutes any time they run into even the most minor of enemies. She's pretty used to creepy magic.] Where did you learn that?
princessia: ((anime) 07)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-14 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, good. Her traveling party back home had plenty of their own banter too during their adventure. And sorry, Cullen. She's a little annoyed with him right now, so more attention for Jove today. ]

Thank you. And... I don't remember where I learned it. I've always channeled spirits based on intuition.
serves: (it's time that you won)

[personal profile] serves 2015-06-14 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Channeled... spirits? That's new and a little disconcerting. No wonder she gets on with Cole so well. Cullen bites his tongue and continues to keep watch.

Not sulking.

Watching.]
dawnwillcome: (Once we sat in our kingdom)

[personal profile] dawnwillcome 2015-06-14 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
[It's totally sulking you big sulker.]

Channeling spirits? When we get back to the ship, remind me to have my friend Dorian speak with you. He does something similar and I'm sure he'd be more than happy to speak with you about it.

[He is a giant nerd after all. The hallway they're following seems to be fairly deserted, so Jove glances back towards Cullen and frowns at what she sees. Is he really annoyed enough that he's going to keep on in complete silence the entire time?]
princessia: (04)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-14 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Spirit artes or magic is pretty much a part of life in Rieze Maxia, which is why she can casually talk about it. No big deal. She does notice Cullen has been silent, but she doesn't call him out on it. ]

I remember Dorian. He read a story on the network.

[ There was kissing in it. And she didn't get to hear all of it because Cullen covered her ears. ]
serves: (you have a choice)

[personal profile] serves 2015-06-14 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, that's one way to get Cullen talking.]

It was inappropriate.
dawnwillcome: (What we've lost.)

[personal profile] dawnwillcome 2015-06-14 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Well he is from Tevinter, I don't know what you expected.

[The Anchor pulses suddenly and Jove looks away from Cullen and Elize as she shakes her hand out, flexing her fingers and frowning to herself. It almost always hurts, but it having no outlet to connect to, no rift to focus the power on, makes it being active even more painful.

But they still need light and the corridor can't go on forever, so her hand goes right back into the air to light their way. In fact, it seems to just be curving back towards where they started.]


The ship didn't look this large from the outside. It's merchant class, so you would think we'd have come across some sort of cargo by now.
princessia: (23)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-14 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ She's curious what else that story had in it, but she may never know... ]

Tevinter?

[ After her encounter with the bugs at the entryway, she's finding their route has been far too quiet so far. She's expecting another herd of them to show up as the path winds back towards where they came from.

She notices as Jove looks away, thinking she might have been distracted or exhausted from holding up her hand. ]


Jove, are you alright? Stay alert. There might still be enemies!
serves: (Default)

[personal profile] serves 2015-06-14 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Worried as he is, there's little Cullen can do right now.]

We should have brought another source of light.

[They'll just have to move faster. His footsteps quicken, and he places a hand behind Elize's back to guide her along.]
dawnwillcome: (What's to come)

[personal profile] dawnwillcome 2015-06-15 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine, really. [And Elize gets a quick smile, half to reassure and half because that was very sweet and practical. Jove Approves.] I promise to stay on my guard, though.
princessia: (skit - 06)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-17 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
You don't have to push me.

[ Making her puffy cheeked pout as she totters along a little more quickly. Not that he's actually pushing her too hard... she doesn't think she needs to be guided along! ]

[Not pushing. Cullen gives her a brief look, though his hand gently touches the top of her head before going back to her shoulder. He's just concerned. He's never had to worry about a child like this before.]
