Shadow Operatives Building: Canteen: Kalastyrn, Melethia, Som, Ton Ton
Melethia looked at the others as she finished her drink.
"Well, whenever you guys are ready, you know." She was comfortable with using the Evoker now (Even if some odd nagging doubts were starting to pop up) so she felt more than comfortable with helping Kalastryn and Som with their Personas.
Paulownia Mall: Arcade Panic Cadol, Devon [http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a595/RWheatley20/6756969_zps294218b6.jpg]
Devon looked at that squid as well as a rather small dragon [http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51-QGBLRk2L._SY300_.jpg] plush sitting next to it and nodded. [color=00c863]"Hmm, maybe we could try getting something for Teri as well?"[/color] Now, she'd never been the best with these kinds of games way back in the past, but she was feeling lucky tonight...
Thirty Minutes Later
Unfortunately, it took more than a bit for the luck to start coming, so she eventually went up to the clerk heading up the ticket trade in and sighed in disappointment.
[color=00c863]"I'm just not having any kind of luck... these games are just so hard! Is there any way that I could maybe buy those two plushes?"[/color] Fortunately for Devon, the high-school attendant was rather easily swayed for some odd reason, and he rather quickly nodded as the cash was exchanged.
"Well, I don't normally do this, but okay. Maybe if you're not busy tomorrow night, you could grab those two friends of yours from earlier today and we could hit the town? I know the fifth Exterminator movie's opening tomorrow night." It wasn't too clear to Devon, but the attendant was trying to hit on the Bard.
[color=00c863]"I'm sorry, but I'm going to be real busy tomorrow... Thank you for the offer, though."[/color] After bagging the plushes, she went back to Cadolbolg playing an rocket-shaped claw game [http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dBSR6kL72pM/0.jpg].
[color=00c863]"Having fun, Cadol?"[/color]
Airship Rising Dawn: Storage Area: Slindis, Dimitri, Rugal, Teri, Garm, Sadei, Annie
[color=b05fe9]
"I knew you guys wouldn't forget about me again, and thanks for helping me, Tama. The most I can do is refuse a wielder, so the connection does mean a lot.
Now, come on, Teri! We gotta keep going if we want Rugal back!"[/color] Although it wasn't too loud, Sadei's chiming speech both soothed and reinvigorated Teri so the Cleric could keep going.
Even though her leg was sore from Rugal's attack, she responded with a rather fierce rebuttal. [color=c200]"Look, I've had enough of your overblown speeches. As I said, it's until the best person wins. Right now? Even with all the talk of might you're throwing around, you're the weakest person I've ever fought. When you consider I trained Teri from the start, that's saying something."[/color] The angrier she could make Rugal, the more that he would attack blindly and leave openings. And that was the kind of thing Slindis was looking for, especially considering Rugal could use Ki attacks again at a cost. If that cost would force the real Rugal out more, she could take the attacks that would come.
[color=c200]"Joanne, protect us!"[/color] A slash with that glove of hers brought Joanne [http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/291/8/8/dissidia__white_mage_of_light_by_isaiahjordan-d5huls9.png] to the field, and she responded in kind by creating shimmering barriers to protect the group fighting Rugal. Anticipating what Slindis would ask for next, Joanne immediately tapped Slindis on the shoulder to infuse her with Strength as well.
Code:
Slindis has used a Turn Undead attempt through Joanne to create a Mass Shield of Faith effect for Teri, Garm, Annie, and herself! It should provide some protection against the assault that Omega Rugal's sure to start.
In addition, Joanne uses another Turn Undead attempt to give Slindis Divine Might, boosting the strength of all her attacks!
Turn attempts left: 10
Lay on Hands left: 1
Shadow Operatives Building: Call Room: Jenny, Ella
"It still sounds a bit too easy for that, though... you sure something else isn't happening? I've seen plenty of plotting assholes to last me a lifetime." Ella nudged Jenny so she didn't fall off the bed; after all, Jenny would already be sore enough without a fall to add to the mix.
Jenny's next statement brought a chuckle to Ella's face, though. Even if Jenny wasn't too good with words when drunk, it was nice to see her unwind. Way too many people on the ship seemed to have forgotten how to do that, in the Demi-succubus' eyes.
"Oh, I'm sure Devon wouldn't really think about that. I mean, she takes after Caim way more than you think; you're not the only one that could see that Devon really only has eyes for me. Wow, that sounds way more cocky when I say it out loud, but Devon doesn't have eyes for anyone else."
Jenny's final question was met with a laugh as Ella tucked the Gardevoir in.
"Well, it's not way too much different than I was with Devon before it all happened, you know? Just there's different things to do with her. Besides, Devon being as she is doesn't mean we can't have kids, you know. Succubi have little tricks to help with that should both parties be willing."
There was certainly more, but it was still dead clear there was a strong connection between the two. Sure, Ella was controlling at times, but there had been something big even before the change that made Ella get so close to Devon, anyway... What was it?
