The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

Female Halfling Teenager

A shorter-than-average halfling swaggers her way into tbe competition room, red tattoos spidered all over her skin in seemingly random patterns. She looks around a waves at a mock crowd, flexing a little for them. As she flexes, her muscles seem to grow to a somewhat ridiculous size!

"Awww yeah! Make way for the pain train gang! Gang of one!"


"I...am supposed to be helping James in Kuros..."

"He'll be fine for one day without you. Plus I already told him you had other plans." :)

"I do...not see how this will be helpful...."

"You need some downtime."

"I am....fine. I do not require rest anymore..."

"You haven't taken a day off in I don't KNOW how long. That's not healthy, regardless of needing to sleep or not."

"Your concern is not...necessary, I assure you."

"Your sabumnim....My wife...IS concerned, so therefore I'M concerned. And since she's supposed to be resting, I've got to make sure things calm the heck down for at least a little while. Help me help you help me here...."

"I..."

"...Will take a day off and relax!"

"The last time I TRIED to do that, Laeren's government was nearly overthrown around me, Agartha was almost handed over to the Empire, and a life I was supposed to protect was lost.....FOREVER. I cannot..."

"...'Afford to let my guard down', 'Stop waiting for the other shoe to drop', 'Can't let it happen again on my watch,' blah blah frackin' blah. I get it - you're preaching to the choir, kid. But the difference between you and I is that YOU ARE STILL A KID. This isn't you're fight yet. And even if it was, you can't be 'On' all the time. You'll kill yourself, and probably others around you. Does that get the point across a little more clearly, son?"

"I......."

"Sabumnim's orders. Go and chill out. Go and be young, for heaven's sake. And..."
[Poke] "Don't."
[Poke] "Stress."
[Poke] "Out."
[Poke] "Our."
[Poke] "Babies by stressing her out. 'Kay?"

"......" [sigh] "Yes, sir." (-_-)

"Fan-Tastic! Off you go, then!" (^-^)

The doors to the SIM room open yet again, as Fei quietly enters the chamber. Garbed in his traditional dawn-themed Lathanderan gi, the only indication that he is not just a guest of the academy is the green 'badge' on the left side of his chest bearing the Avalon crest.

The young monk politely steps out of the threshold to not block any other entrants to the SIM room, then makes his way to the spectator seating. Coming around the corner of the stands, he sees Vai pacing the floor in anticipation for the upcoming events. As he realizes her change in garb, and her body language indicating that it was by choice rather than reaction, the first smile in days - like the sun breaking through storm clouds - comes unbidden to his oft-troubled visage.

"Each day is made of many, many dawns - you need only be mindful enough to experience them." As the words of his old master come to him from what feels like a lifetime ago, Fei's smile broadens a bit more, the troubled Champion thankful for the timely wisdom that memory can give.

"This....is good," he quietly affirms. (^-^)

WAAAAAY too much teenag-y, angsty pathos

For those of us who don't have time to wade through that....he saw his best girl in gym gear, and got a stoooopid grin on his face. The End.

Literally.

Seriously - I'm sure he's staring at her butt right now since she hasn't turned around yet. ;)

Vai's pacing comes to a sudden end as she turns and spots the dawn-coloured gi and perfect form of her meldanya, and her wings twitch ever so slightly in excitement and her own distracted visage breaks into a bright smile of her own.

Vai breaks into a light jog and gives one powerful flap of her leathery blue wings in time with a push off from the ground, sending her gliding through the air to land gently in front of Fei. Her hair flutters in the wind, settling in it's usual place across one eye only to be brushed back behind an ear.

While recent events surrounding the Champions are troubling to say the least, including the fact that Vai remains herself a Champion, that doesn't stop her from beaming at Fei. "Good morning." she says quietly, just for the pair, despite the gathering student body in the stands and for the competition. "I thought you weren't going to come?"

"Good Morning." (^-^)

"I....was being obstinate. A truth which your father just spent the last hour pointing out to me, in quite colorful metaphor," Fei replies, his smile shifting to a more self-deprecating one.

"So I will be doing my best to dwell a bit more....outside of my own mind today. And an event like this would be a good place to do so - especially if I can be present to cheer my girlfriend on to well-earned victory," he continues, simple pride in her plainly evident in his voice.


Male Pygmy Slurk

One algae-green eye opens wide. Slarrow grumbles and chirps groggily, shifting, rolling onto his back, struggling to right himself, and finally reluctantly getting to his feet. Some daisies, recently cut by Vakkler's newest lawncare apparatus, have gotten stuck to his back, but he doesn't notice. It's too hot and sunny to keep napping out here, too much for an animal evolved to survive dark, chilly caverns.

The pygmy slurk begins hopping back towards the nice, cool indoors, hoping to find someplace more comfortable to nap.

Vai shakes her head in response to Fei and her own smile falters a little. "I'm also sorry for missing the past few mornings at the dawn. I... Feel restless and worried about Lumos and I'm sorry cause now I feel like I'm not being there for you when you need me."

There is definitely a spot of colour on her cheeks from Fei's encouragement.

"I am just as much at fault for not being 'present'," he admits with a centering breath. "And I cannot place all of that blame at the feet of either of our Patrons for that."

"We can...help each other be more mindful of the 'now', especially after recent events. Perhaps if we do that, we can find our balance again...?"


Female Half-elf Gestalt Sorcerer6/Dragon Disciple9 // Rogue (Swashbuckler)8/Duelist7

"Do you want to talk about it?" Vai asks tenderly, offering a hand if Fei would like to take it. She looks around at their surroundings and says a little more quietly. "We can go to a more private place if that would help?"


Image Male Human (Paragon) Gestalt Monk 14 / Fighter (Unarmed) 7 / Elemental Fist 5 / Enlightened Scholar 2 / [CLASSIFIED] 6 (^-^); Champion of Courage

The young monk slowly shakes his head.

"I think for now....it is enough that I have given voice to the thought. If we are 'taking it easy' for a time, that would not fall under this category. And I would receive another quite long lecture from at least one of your family members." (=^-^=)

"Let us focus on the simple joy of sport for now." (^-^)

Fei gingerly rests his open palm under her hand (so she can withdraw it easily when she needs to).

"So.....do you know what this competition today is?"


Female Half-elf Gestalt Sorcerer6/Dragon Disciple9 // Rogue (Swashbuckler)8/Duelist7

Vai can't help but smirk a tiny bit at that. "Lectures are a Sunwake specialty I'll have you know. Somewhat out of necessesity, since we are a stubborn family. I'm sure you'll be inured to them soon enough don't worry."

As their hands sit gently touching, Vai's wings ever-so-slightly and slowly begin to unfurl and flare outward, a subtle sign of tension. Vai does not move to break the contact, at least not yet.

"It's an obstacle course of some sort. From what I understand the SIM rooms will dynamically adjust the course's difficulty based on the participant's PE performance and other metrics. So really we're going to be competing against ourselves, which makes me wanna win even more!" she seems in a pretty good mood, smiling up at Fei.

Midori smiles at him while shaking her head. "You do not need to use honourifics, Dacamara-senpai. I just do not want to fall out of practice. It would not go over well at home. Thank you for thinking of me though." she beams at him. ^.^

"Ah, well I don't wanna look bad if I ever meet your family, you know?" He explains as he rubs at the back of his neck. "I don't think I'd be a good friend if I didn't at least learn what to call people you know."

The young monk nods in understanding, his hand staying as steady as possible to not cause undue stress in Vai before her turn in the event.

"Well, that would explain the presence of both age groups here together, then," he says, sparing a look about the SIM Room and assessing the other various competitors. "An ingenious way to accommodate everyone wanting to participate." (^-^)

Midori shakes her head, but decides not to press the point any more. "You are more likely to meet Tanaka-senpai's family, given your brother." She takes some time to think about that a little bit. "Actually maybe you're best off being as respectful as possible around the Akuma." she says soberly, nodding to herself.

As Illthia continues to flex, the muscles continue to expand like a balloon blowing up, then they suddenly pop! A cloud of butterflies erupts from the popped muscles and flies all round the SIM room, though if they touch anything they erupt into tingly little sparkles. At the centre of the over-the-top display, the halfling has struck a heroic pose, clearly stifling giggles.

Vai blinks as a butterfly pops on her nose, then she sneezes into her armpit after the ticklish sensation, breaking the tender hand-holding. She rubs her nose afterwards and giggles a little.

"Why don't you try? You shouldn't have to worry too much here in the SIM rooms, right?" Vai offers happily.

As the storm of butterflies race past (and into) the pair, the few that make contact with Fei also briefly erupt into tiny pyrotechnics....but then disappear almost as quickly, seemingly absorbed into the young monk's body.

Looking around at the colorful but seemingly harmless display (and Vai's reaction to it), he replies "If the security protocols in the SIM room recognize my presence, perhaps I can..."

Perhaps a bit to her surprise, Fei seems to actually be considering it.

Anthony rather noticeably jumped at the butterfly explosion. Even at Avalon some things were still surprises!

"Oh, uh.. Yeah, probably. Wait, are they Tanaka or Akuma?"

ROSA LUMINAASS IMAGE HERE Axiomite

In a far distant time, Rosa Luminass looks over what had once been Avalon.
Now overgrown, its once powerful magics run down to nort, the building fallen into all but dust. Here and there add forms loomed up in the forest canopy. She walked among the tree roots see the life still in this place.

Echos came to mind of the ones that were once here. The jocks and tricks, the sadness and heart aches. The brave and the cowardly. All gone now.

Under her arm was a Copy of The Avalon Chronicles.

She hoped with all her heart that the ones who had once been here were somewhere in time and space, living lives of joy and wonder.

With a deep feeling of sadness, she turned and stepped into a portal and was gone.

I am truly sorry to see this thread petter out. I wish everyone the best of things.


Male Kobold Expert 6/Slayer 8

The ferns rustle. Vakkler Relkav plods through, trailed by a pair of slurks pulling a large wagon laden with tools and supplies. There is a giant pair of pruning shears hefted over his shoulder. He looks over the area, transparent eyelids blinking slowly, and lets out a low whistle between his teeth.

"This is why I never take vacations," the old groundskeeper mutters to himself. He brings the pruning shears to bear. "Those fools always let this place go to hell over summer break."


ROSA LUMINAASS IMAGE HERE Axiomite

Rosa was back, the portal now larger.

She picked up the stone that she had placed to monitor the site. Someone had been here and had revitalized the school.

behind her came a swarm of staff, servants, Garnders, cooks, groundsmen and women, Medical, archivists, and museum staff. Pulled from City in a plane that was ending because of war. She had made everyone here a simple offer, come live and work in a new place. Respect it and sureve it and it would respect and serve them.

"Set too and want this place preserved, if anyone comes, show them due hospitality, house and feed them, I will get to putting the warding magics back in place so whoever has been back here can keep this place safe. Note everyone this is your new home, treat it with respect. Others will know this place is alive once more. So greet them."

She spent some time putting wards back and also checking magics in other places. When done she looked over this historic place. To herself she said.

"I hope others come"

With out another word she made a portal and left for her home in Sigil.

Weren't you kicked from the game? Bad form to think you have any right to say how things end up.
