[Vivian][Stormcaller Mansion] When Vivian saw the man start to cough up blood, she sat down next to Fenris at the table and buried her head into him. "I don't like blood that much," Vivian managed to whisper. She kept her head down as Anke started to heal him and as Fenris put the freezing spell on the stranger to slow him down. Only after that was done she picked her head up again. As the stranger was secured, Vincent came over and sat down at the table. Vivian heard Aeon saying something about exploring the mansion, and then she started to look through the food that she servants brought. It seems like this is all I can do for now as we interrogate our 'guest', Vivian thought. She smiled about it, and she picked out two slices of bread. Vivian handed one slice to Fenris, and then she turned back to the guest. "And let's start with the basics too," Vivian said to the stranger, "What's your name?" She started to eat her bread as she waited for a response from the man.  |

[Talisman] Talisman was forcibly healed by Anke, unable to resist the treatment; Talisman was too weak to even go against Anke’s power it his condition. Talisman’s injuries were healed but not fully, he still felt pain run through his body if he move but it wasn’t as bad as earlier whereas he could barely move. Soon later he was contained under a spell that would slow him down and freeze him if he had any hostile intentions. -My wounds have stopped bleeding,- thought Talisman. –But my cuts are still open. If I can get my bag back I can stitch them closed. Not to mention I would like to change into my other uniform seeing as I’m drench in my own blood.- Talisman sat up examining himself to see if there were any other injuries he had sustained. "And let's start with the basics too;" Vivian addressed Talisman. "What's your name?" Talisman couldn’t help but feel annoyed by Vivian’s question. After all that’s happened he’s now being questioned. Talisman pulled down his hood further down over his head to cover his eyes. “The little pipsqueak there is rule.†Talisman said bluntly pointing at Vivian. “I thought the people around here were kind. Apparently you, little miss, proved me wrong. Honestly, where I come from, we introduce ourselves before asking for a name. No, regardless, anyone should introduce themselves before asking for ones name.†Talisman forced himself to standup now that most of his pain had been eased thanks to Anke. “Considering all that’s happened just now, I only have to thankful to this miss right here,†said Talisman gesturing his hand at Anke. “Even tho she healed my injuries, after I refused. You others on the other hand I don’t, one of you casts a spell to slow me down and limits my options, the one who found me outside, dishonors me and my sword by removing its blade, no less mistreat the blade. And then there is you, the little pipsqueak next to the ogre there, starts questioning me no sooner after I’m healed without introducing yourself first. Now I have to ask, do you really think I would cooperate? Cause if so, you are far from getting me to say anything regarding who I am.†Talisman noticed a stairway leading to the roof and made his way to the stairs. Despite the slight pain he felt while moving, he forced himself to continue to move. Before he went to the stairs, Talisman walked up to Anke placing his hand on her shoulder lifting his hood with his other hand so she could see his eyes. “And you, miss, I thank you for healing my injuries. And I am sorry if I may have hurt you in any way when you helped me.†Talisman said serious to Anke. After, Talisman pulled his hood back down over his eyes and continued to walk toward the stairs. Before Talisman reached the stairs he stopped and turned to the people sitting at the table. “And you, Fenris was it? If anything should happen to my blade or if it’s mistreated any further, you and I are going to have a big problem.†Talisman pushed up the right side of his upper lip with his thumb, showing his dog fangs to everyone. “Oh, and your friend is right,†said Talisman showing his fangs. “I’m not exactly close to being human.†Talisman turned away from the group and continued to walk towards and up the stairs leading to the roof with nothing more to say.    |

[Stormcaller Mansion] Fenris had expected something like this but it still made him mad, especially how this stranger spoke to Vivian. He noticed something odd about the strangers foorsteps. If he listened closely every other step was a bit muffled as if there was something in the boot. Fenris: Vortex! He stood up and as he spoke there was a clear sign of anger in his voice. At the same time a vortex of wind appeared that drew Talisman towards Fenris until his hand reached him. He gripped him firmly from the shoulder. Fenris: Right now we might be little rude to strangers who suddenly appear, even if they are injured. As we have been attacked by three seperate groups in the space of two days. And as for the blade I've held similar blades before and if my intuition is correct it's a shinmei ryu blade, of masterful quality I might add. He handed the blade to Talisman. His voice softening a bit. Fenris: I don't disrespect or mistreat weapons. But there is now two reasons I can't let you just walk away. Fenris grinned but there was nothing reassuring about it. There was a bit of menace in his voice now. Fenris: Why do your hands smell of someone else's blood and what are you hiding in your boot?   |

[Stormcaller Mansion] Vincent had been eating while the situation unfolded nearby. The stranger had begun to mouth off to everyone in earshot and Vincent couldn't help but smile and stifle a chuckle. 'Yeah, we certainly are the rude ones here.' he thought to himself. Aeon had once again wandered off through the house, and everyone else was busy with their new 'friend', including Fenris who had grown rather annoyed with the comments regarding Vivian. He got up and brushed off his hands, then left the dining room and headed for the entrance. "Maybe we just should have left him there to die." he said as he entered the room where the others were. "Well, I'm on my way back outside. As fun as it is to watch this situation progress, I probably should make better use of the time." He headed outside once again and drew his swords. He went back towards the location he had in mind before finding that boy and found a large solid tree to begin training on.    |

[Vivian][Stormcaller Mansion] After Vivian's question, the stranger got annoyed by her and started to walk away. Pipsqueak!, Vivian thought, What did I do wrong to deserve that? All I did was ask for his name! If he wanted to introduce himself so badly, all he had to do was just that! The man started to walk off, but Fenris stood up and used a spell to pull him back in. We should knock some sense into this jerk, Vivian thought, We save his life and he treats us like dirt. "Right now we might be little rude to strangers who suddenly appear," Fenris said, "Even if they are injured. As we have been attacked by three separate groups in the space of two days. And as for the blade I've held similar blades before and if my intuition is correct it's a shinmei ryu blade, of masterful quality I might add. I don't disrespect or mistreat weapons. But there is now two reasons I can't let you just walk away. Why do your hands smell of someone else's blood and what are you hiding in your boot?" Vivian stood up and walked about 3 feet away in front of the man. She raised her arms, and muttered a word. The eyes of their 'guest' went totally dark. Just another illusion spell, Vivian thought, One where you can only see darkness and lose your sense of direction and balance. So he can't run away now, even if he wanted to, because this spell will last until I decide to let it up. "Vincent's right," Vivian said, "We should have left you for dead. Our group saves you, and you treat us like dirt. Sure, we take away your precious little blade, but that's only to prevent you from trying to attack. And only your actions are to blame for not letting you get away, because from the way you have been acting, you seem an awful lot like an attacker." Vivian could tell that there was a deep anger in her voice. She walked right up in front of the man. "And just so you know," She said grimly, "We aren't all from where you're from. So knock off that high-and-mighty attitude. And answer the questions. Or else we might just leave you worse off than when you came to us." She walked away from the man and stood next to Fenris, waiting for the man to give up and answer their questions. |

ANKE l Stormcaller Mansion Anke had walked away when Fenris trapped him in a spell to slow down his movements, and just stood in the sidelines to watch as Vivian began to interrogate him. The stranger would have nothing of it though and he started to call Vivian a pipsqueak and Fenris and Ogar and then he turned on her and she bated her breath wondering what he was going to have in store for her... “Considering all that’s happened just now, I only have to thankful to this miss right here,†the stranger continued his rant, gesturing his hand at Anke. “Even tho she healed my injuries, after I refused. You others on the other hand I don’t, one of you casts a spell to slow me down and limits my options, the one who found me outside, dishonors me and my sword by removing its blade, no less mistreat the blade. And then there is you, the little pipsqueak next to the ogre there, starts questioning me no sooner after I’m healed without introducing yourself first. Now I have to ask, do you really think I would cooperate? Cause if so, you are far from getting me to say anything regarding who I am.†The stranger paused for a moment and walked up to Anke placing his hand on her shoulder lifting his hood with his other hand so she could see his eyes. Anke looked in his face with a blank expression, she was not at all pleased by him calling Vivian and Fenris names, only to turn around and thank her. “And you, miss, I thank you for healing my injuries. And I am sorry if I may have hurt you in any way when you helped me.†Anke stepped out of his reach by teleporting herself across the room, she had miss calculated though and was going to land on the table so she had to arrange herself in a sitting position so she could gracefully land on the edge that was not covered in food. She grabbed a piece of bread from the plate and shot Vivian a look like "oops, I haven't gotten used to this body yet... haha" the turn her gaze back on the stranger, who was yet again addressing Fenris in a condescending manner as he made for the exit. Fenris acted quickly enough and defended himself against the stranger's Caustic words. Then Vivian got up and spoke after Fenris. "Vincent's right," Vivian said, "We should have left you for dead. Our group saves you, and you treat us like dirt. Sure, we take away your precious little blade, but that's only to prevent you from trying to attack. And only your actions are to blame for not letting you get away, because from the way you have been acting, you seem an awful lot like an attacker." "And just so you know, We aren't all from where you're from. So knock off that high-and-mighty attitude. And answer the questions. Or else we might just leave you worse off than when you came to us." Go Vivian wooo!!! Get that guy!!! Tell him!!!! Good job!!! Anke thought to herself and then sprang into action once more... "I don't think we really need to explain ourselves to you... This is Fenris' family's mansion, so to speak, and we are his friends so we have every right to be here, and as you said, I was kind enough to treat your wounds... What needs explaining is that why you would be injured in the yard... and why I seem to know you from somewhere else..." Anke had casually walked across the room and was now standing next to Vivian. She had a plan and she wanted to tell Vivian about it, but if this guy was from some sort of dog tribe his hearing would pick up their whispers. "Erm... Vivian do you mind stepping out for a second, and um... continuing that discussion we had earlier..." she offered awkwardly sending her a look that clearly told her friend that she had an Idea and she sifted her eyes up to meet Fenris' so he would know what was going on as well.  |

[Talisman] Before Talisman could reach the doorway to the roof he was forced to stop by Fenris. Fenris explained what happen to the group and handed Talisman back his blade to his sword, which he immediately and quickly cleaned and put back together, after he was done he held his sword in his left hand. After, Fenris said he had two reasons why he couldn’t let Talisman go. “Why do your hands smell of someone else's blood and what are you hiding in your boot?†asked Fenris. As Talisman was about to answer, Vivian had blocked Talisman’s vision with a spell. Vivian began to rant saying they should have left him for dead, and how he looked like an attacker. -Boy are they wrong.- thought Talisman. –If I'm an attacker then why am I still here? My mission would have been done and all you people would have been…- "And just so you know," Vivian said grimly. "We aren't all from where you're from. So knock off that high-and-mighty attitude. And answer the questions. Or else we might just leave you worse off than when you came to us." “You, little one, have a big mouth.†said Talisman coldly, politely brushing Fenris’s hand off his shoulder. “If you thought I was leaving, you are surly wrong. At the time, the big guy here, still had my blade, so I had no reason to leave, I was simply going up to the roof for some fresh air when I was stopped. An’ you don’t need to be where I come from, you still, regardless of anything, should introduce yourselves, before asking for ones name.†“I didn’t ask for you guys to bring me in here and heal me, you did that yourself, I even refused the treatment. An’ only one person saved me and that’s the young lady over there.†added Talisman pointing to Anke. “Now, to obtain something, something of equal value must be lost. The big guy was kind enough to give me back my blade so I’ll answer his question. My hands have, not only my blood on them because, out in the forest someone attacked me and I simply acted in defense after he attempted to strike me down so I fought back, and as for what’s in my boot.†Talisman reached into his boot avoiding pulling out his patch, instead pulled out one of his paper charms between his fingers and held it in front of his head. “This here is a paper talisman from Shinmei. I always carry a few stacks of them with Me.†explained Talisman. “Seeing as the big guy here knows of the Shinmei, which means he should at least know one of our methods of fighting. These can be used in a wide variety of methods and require no magical energy to use or run off of, but only Shinmei swordsmen are trained to use them. Allow me to demonstrate…†Talisman placed the charm on his chest. The charm started to glow red as he focused. “Talisman-san, o Talisman-san,†chanted Talisman. “Please perform my request and nullify the spells that restrict me.†The charm glowed from red to blue canceling the effect of the spells placed on him. Talisman tore off the tag from his chest and pushed it into his pocket. “These tags are difficult to use and aren’t cheap,†said Talisman. “But they are very useful. An’ before you place another spell on me, I promise I won’t leave without informing one of you. I don’t expect you to trust me from how I’ve acted recently, but that’s for you to choose big guy.†Talisman readjusted his hood over his eyes then crossed his arms. "I don't think we really need to explain ourselves to you... This is Fenris' family's mansion, so to speak, and we are his friends so we have every right to be here, and as you said, I was kind enough to treat your wounds... What needs explaining is that why you would be injured in the yard... and why I seem to know you from somewhere else..." said Anke. “True,†said Talisman. “But, if want to know my name at least give yours before asking me, and whatever your reasons, they don’t concern me. An’ yes you were kind enough to heal me so, your payment is still yet to be decided for saving my life, and as for your questions. I honestly don’t know how I ended here, nor how I got injured, my head is still ringing a bit. And’ I assure you I’ve never seen or met you before.†Anke had walked across the room and was now standing next to Vivian. "Erm... Vivian, do you mind stepping out for a second, and um... continuing that discussion we had earlier..." said Anke. Talisman gestured his hand back and forth at Vivian as if he was saying “Go on.†without saying a word. |

Ooc: Would everyone be allright if I moved the time forwards several days in my next post? In order to get everyone fully back in the action? [Stormcaller Mansion] Fenris: I still have a feeling that you're hiding something. But I will give you the same change as I do to everyone else. Fenris offered his hand into Talisman's general direction. Fenris: I am Fenris Stormcaller, The Tempest That Walks. But since it's getting kinda late, Ranek there. He said this before Ranek opened the door. Ranek: There was disturbance here? Fenris: Yes, I would like to show our guest here to the guest rooms, the nice ones if you may? Ranek: I'll do that, follow me then. Ranek gestured for Talisman to follow and stepped out of the room. Fenris searched for the seat he had been, sat down and began eating again. Fenris: Well that certainly was interesting meeting. But I think it would be best if we just finished eating and headed to bed, fatigue tends to make people quite edgy. |

OOC @ Fenris- I don't know... Let Jon decide on this since he's head of this RP right now. [Vivian][Stormcaller Mansion] When Fenris had found his seat again and started to eat, Vivian nodded towards Anke and walked back to the room they were in before their 'guest' came. Vivian could tell from the look Anke gave her that she had something up her sleeve. When they were both in the room, Vivian shut the door behind them and smiled. "Something up?" Vivian asked, "Got an idea? Anything?" She then leaned in to whisper to Anke. "And remember," Vivian whispered, "Fenris is blind at the moment. He doesn't know about any of the looks you are giving him." Vivian started to giggle about it. "And don't try to hide it either!" Vivian managed to say through her laughter, "It looked like you were trying so hard to send him this message!" Vivian calmed herself down, to let Anke say what she was originally going to tell her. |

ANKE l Stormcaller Masnion "Oh my god, he's still blind, wow he's getting around so well I completely forgot... haha, well maybe I was getting it to him though ESP..." Anke laughed about her fopa a little more before she continued, "well I did have one idea, but now that Fenris has sent him away it's useless... I was thinking that you could find a spell in the Picasso that might hypnotize him into telling us what it is that he is hiding..." Anke sighed, "If no one watches him, he'll be out of that room Fenris gave him before we even turn our backs... I get a bad feeling, I've sensed something on him that I'm familiar with, but it's not his, and then again it is... It's almost like he's had contact with me somehow, without my conscious being fully aware of it... I mean it's a stretch but I'm suspicious that he may know who I am and he, or a friend, could have gone to my house and tampered with my real body..." Anke's face turned girm, "If that is the case, and my body is 'dead' so to speak, the moment I try to return to my body, my sould will be lost in limbo forever... So naturally I want to figure out the connection." |

@Fenris - As long as everyone agrees to it. I'm assuming Anke and Toyumi are impartial, and while I think time skips are hard to do I don't see a reason not to since nothing has really been going on or planned. Let's see what king and Inugami has to say. [Outside Mansion] Vincent had been doing light training and enjoying the time alone. It gave him a chance to think things out and relax a little. He had cut almost all of the lower hanging branches off of the tree and had been cutting them in half as they fell. 'I should probably confront her about everything at some point soon. I would like to clear the air of any uncertainties, doubts and misunderstandings. I don't think she has been listening to what I've been saying, or at least she doesn't understand what I mean by it. Plus, the quicker I get it over with, the clearer my mind will be and the more I can focus on how I may possibly handle my predicament.' He stopped briefly and sighed. "I wish 'mom' had informed me about the complications I may face in this life, or at the very least, the complications of dealing with girls." |

@Fenris - yeah i don't mind. Aeon | Stormcaller mansion Aeon had been wandering around the mansion for quite some time, and was starting to get used to the layout. Long hallways connected in the middle by the main hall. There were stairs and other exits down some of the halls too, but he did not want to try going down or out of those yet. He moved around in a mix of teleporting and walking, trying to avoid people whenever possible, in his search for the magic items Fenris claimed were here. He allowed his own magic to get absorbed by his draining ability, creating a void of magic, which hid him pretty well from anyone unless they were specifically looking for him, to prevent incidents in the case he did find the items. He had been gone a decent amount of time by now, and had managed to learn the layout of the mansion, but still had not found anything noteworthy. "Did they move everything?" Aeon thought to himself, "did Fenris make a mistake in claiming the items were here?". He scowled at the thoughts and continued down the hall, heading back towards the main hall. "I've looked everywhere, where could I be missing?" Aeon thought, looking down "that's it, down!" he realized. He quickly undid his second level seal, to allow the use of earth magic, and slammed his hands into the ground, causing a small amount of magic straight down. "Feels weird over here" Aeon thought "that must be it". He moved over the spot where there was a difference in the way his magic travelled and teleported. When Aeon arrived in the hidden room, he looked around. "Looks like a ... prison? of sorts?" Aeon thought. "Wrong room" he scowled to himself again. Ah well, at least he knew where to look. For now, however, he decided it would be a good time to head back to the room where the others were staying. |

[Talisman] Fenris offered his hand into Talisman’s direction. Talisman smiled, firmly shaking Fenris’s hand introducing himself. “Nice to meet your acquaintance, Fenris Stormcaller. My name Is Toorop Hunter,†lied Talisman. “I’m seventeen and I reside from the east. I would also like to apologize for my recent behavior; I’ve been traveling alone for three an’ a half years so I’m not so use to interacting with others.†Fenris called in a friend of his named Ranek gesturing for Talisman to follow. Talisman went to the table spread with food and picked up his headband and two apples munching on one as he left the room. As he made his way to the exit he passed the room that Vivian and Anke went into and had overheard them talking but behind a door with both of them from a distance, he couldn’t really understand what they were saying. He followed Ranek to a guest room scanning every room if the door was open on the way. Talisman entered the room and closed the door behind him. Talisman looked around the room scanning if there was anything anyone placed to keep watch on him. He found nothing. “I may as well clean myself off,†muttered Talisman. “It’s as if I had killed a battalion that I’m covered in so much blood. Hmph, yeah.†Talisman went to the bathroom taking off his cape and jacket and tossed it on the coat rack while throwing away an apple core on his way. He pulled out a few rags from the cabinet while filling the sink with water; he soaked a rag with water and began to wash the blood off his face, torso and arms. By the time Talisman was done cleaning himself off he had left the bathroom a mess with blood covered rags. Talisman set his sword on the bed and grabbed his jacket off the rack stretching his tail and ears. -With all that’s happened I’m surprised they were easy to trust me,- thought Talisman searching his pockets. –Somewhat to say the least. The reports I've gotten say that the Faustus girl and her group is Class-B danger level, yet she heal my injuries and from what I’ve seen they don’t even reach the lowest, Class-D. Something must be wrong.- Talisman search his pockets and his jacket and didn’t like what he was missing. He had noticed picture was missing. “Damnit!†cursed Talisman. “I must have lost it when I got hurt. (Sigh) looks like I have to break my word on leaving and go find my picture of her. I'm not leaving it out there. I’ll have to use Koku’ Shundo’ to get there without alerting the others.†Talisman put his cape back on and picked up his sword, putting his bandana on and pulled his hood over his head, leaving his jacket on the bed and placed a tag on him. He walked over to the window and pushed it open, Talisman ran and jumped out the window. Talisman muttered a word and pushed his feet outward behind him and quickly disappeared for the stormcaller premises. Ten minutes later and Talisman had found the spot he had been injured in and started to search for his belongings through the smoldering and smoke filled area. “I have what you’re looking for right here, Talis.†said Kota appearing behind Talisman. “I've taken the liberty of finding your equipment after you were hurt and took care of the picture. By the way are you feeling any better?†“Heh, quite,†replied Talisman turning to Kota. “Thanks to you, Kota. Thanks for finding my bag and especially my picture. I've placed a tag on me that keep people from eavesdropping on us. Listen those people might have just found out I'm gone right now so I have to make this quick, hide out at the Faustus house for awhile, if the girls parent come back let me know asap. Also tell the base we need more time, something doesn’t feel right. Should anything go wrong that we have to escape, head in this direction the tags we setup before are still here, so right now this forest is basically a deadly minefield. Understood, Kota?†“Understood, Talis.†answered Kota. “Oh, and Talis, that tag that went off…†“Yes, I know, Kota,†said Talisman taking his equipment. “I feel the same way too, that tag that went off, was tampered with. By the way, here’s an apple I got for ya’.†Talisman tossed the apple to Kota. “Alright let’s get moving.†Kota picked up the apple and started to walk to the Faustus house for some rest as did Talisman started to walk back to the stormcaller house to get to bed. |

@ Jon & Fenris: Yeah I don't mind the time skip as long as we are at a point where we can stop and not get confused (like waiting for everyone to go to bed or be back in the mansion and then make the time change). [Vivian][Stormcaller Mansion] Vivian listened as Anke explained what she had wanted to do with the stranger before Fenris sent him away. She also said how she was worried about him running off to do something bad. I agree with that part all the way, Vivian thought. "If that is the case," Anke concluded, "And my body is 'dead' so to speak, the moment I try to return to my body, my soul will be lost in limbo forever... So naturally I want to figure out the connection." Vivian took a moment to pause and think about it before she responded. "I agree with what you're saying," Vivian said, "In fact, I think he's already on his merry way to who knows where. I also have a concern for your real body... How long will you be able to stay in that form? If it's only for a few hours, then we might have a problem. But if you are able to last a few days, or even longer, then we will be alright. If you are able to stay in this form for a day or two, then we could go back to your house and make sure your body is alright. If it isn't... Then I guess we can find some way to either extend the spell or move your soul into a new permanent body. I've read of people being able to do that, permanently getting a new body. Although it will probably be hard, I bet something will work out." Vivian sighed, and then yawned. She stretched and seated herself in a relaxing position on the bed she was sitting on in the room. "Either way, I doubt we will be able to make the trip to your house tonight," Vivian said, "It's getting late and I don't think everyone's up for it at the moment. A night's rest would do some good if we do find trouble back at your place." Vivian frowned a bit at the thought. "I hate to put your life in danger like this," Vivian said, "But all of the trouble we went through before... I think it's time everyone has a good night's rest... I mean, most of us have to be worn out. I know I am. And if there is trouble, we won't be prepared for whatever we find..." She yawned again, and managed to stay awake to hear what Anke had to say. |

Ooc: Since there hasn't been any resistance to my suggestion I'll be moving the time forwards then... A 42 second difference in posts... wow, but if those not yet sleeping would use similar tags in their next post to do the timeskip, I think it should all work out. I kinda got caught up with the idea and dind't think it completely through, my apologies. (Timeskip) A week had passed since their arrival at the Stormcaller Mansion. The party had used this time to recuparate from the wounds they had sustained but also had used this time of peace to get more used to their new abilities and in Anke's case a whole new body. Fenris had spent quite a bit of this time conversing with Ranek and the other Stormcallers and had been away from the others and had really been with the others during the meals using rest of the time wandering around. The rest had been free to wander about the Mansion, including Toorop. Fenris had finally made his decision, about what he will do. This had been one of the matters he had discussed with Ranek and in the end they had agreed it was probably the best course of action, for all of them. Blackmane had appeared two days ago in his dreams and infromed that the "time" was almost up. This had worried Fenris a bit. Until now... (Timeskip ends) [Stormcaller Mansion] Fenris awoke in his bed and opened his eyes, he saw a sliver of light coming from under the door, nothing unusual... He was about to try going back to sleep when he realised what had happened. He could see. The shadowy figure of Blackmane appeared in front of him as he sat on the edge of his bed. Blackmane: The time is up. Fenris: So this was what you meant... Blackmane: Indeed, welcome back to the world of light little brother. Fenris: It's good to be here. The figure faded away and Fenris realised that it was quite early in the morning, the others were still asleep. But there was one thing that he would not delay any further. He rose up and got dressed, he took an extra cloak with him as it was quite chilly outside. He stood up and sneaked across the lounge which connected the different rooms together and into the room Vivian was sleeping in. Using his wind magic to further silence his footsteps he sneaked next to Vivian's bed. He gently brushed her hair off her face and smiled as he looked at her peaceful face. He noticed that she was wearing the amulet he had given him even when she was sleeping. He wrapped Vivian into the cloak and lifted her gently from her bed. He walked to the door of the lounge that lead into the corridor and placed his palm against the opposite wall. Fenris: Open. Some of the secrets in the Stormcaller Mansion were protected by Blood Seals, ensuring that no one but a Stormcaller could open the way to those areas, they even prevented teleporting instead moving the teleporter to the opposite side of the area. Behind this one was way to the lookout tower rising above the Mansion, it was normally used only during wars and such, but from it, or so Ranek had said, opened the most beatiful view over the valley that the Stromcaller Mansion was in. Fenris made his way up the stairs and into the balcony that circled the tower, he sat down in one of the chairs that was here with Vivian in his lap, he wrapped the second cloak over her. He then just sat there looking into the dark valley that opened in front of him. And waited for Vivian to wake up. |

ANKE l Stormcaller Mansion [before time skip] "No." Anke replied to Vivian firmly, "I can keep this body for as long as I need to, and there is a slight advantage, if I die in this body my soul will go back to the old one, so technically I can't be killed right now... but if my really body is... you know... thats when I have the problem... but I'm not worried about it now, we can rest a while and see what happens." [after time skip] Anke had much enjoyed the week she had spent at the Stormcaller mansion. She was still worried about her family, who had yet to arrive home, but she felt assured that her true body was safe... she had thought to send her grandmother's spirit to check on it. Vincent and her hadn't really talked since the first day, because mostly Anke had been running about the mansion with Vivian like the two bubbly best friends they had been back at the academy. On this particular morning she was sleeping in her bed, which was situated next to Vivian's in their room when she heard the door open. She figured it was just Vivian getting up to use the rest room, but then she heard notably heavy footfalls that could not possibly belong to her tiny friend. She cracked open her eyes to see that Fenris was picking her up out of bed and carrying her away like a baby. How cute... Anke thought before rolling over and falling back to sleep. |

@Everyone - Alright, so please be aware that a time skip has occurred. Nobody posted an objection to it and there was no major ongoing event, so I'm allowing it go ahead. If you needed to wrap up conversations or whatever, just do something like Anke did in the post before this one. [Stormcaller Mansion] Vincent was roaming the mansion with his arms crossed. He was up earlier than he was accustomed to because of the restless sleep he was having. It had been a mostly uneventful week, thankfully, and it had given everyone a chance to rest and relax. Vincent spent most of the time training but despite that his wound had healed rather well, except for the scar running across most of his body. With Noctis missing the group had no real direction and no-one had made an attempt to discuss what they should do next. Vincent had a faint hope that this would mean the group would part ways and he would be able to handle his situation without fear of hurting her. 'Wishful thinking I suppose. I didn't survive this long without making sure that all of my bases were covered.' He heard noises coming from one of the rooms nearby and as he peeked around the corner he saw Fenris heading in to a hidden room. He turned and decided to head in the opposite direction. 'I guess the big guy can see again, or at least he's found a better way to move about the building than his typical stumbling.' He leaned back against the wall of the hallway and looked up at the ceiling. 'He's incredibly affectionate towards Vivian. I'm surprised at how quickly those to got together though, we were only on the run for a few days.' He paused to think for a minute before continuing his train of thought. 'I suppose I should get the confrontation over with now. The sooner I deal with it the less chance there is for things to spiral suddenly out of control. It certainly would be nice to have what those two do, but I'm afraid that things won't be as cut and dry for me.' |

(Can I join with this character? And maybe I'll add second one later) Name: Haijin Kiri Age: 18 Weapon: Suitcase "Unlimited Inventory"(Not actually a weapon) Abilities: - Personality Inherit(Cosplay): Depending on the clothes she's wearing, her personality and abilities changes. She can even do things she never been able to do. For example even if she is a terrible cook, if she wears a chef's outfit, she's able to cook at the same level. Or, wearing a scientist's outfit, she understands high-level science without learning it. Obviously you can't get ANY ability this way, as you have to find a costume, corresponding to a certain ability. - Outfit create: She can make an outfit for herself. Not exactly an ability, but outfits made by others have no effect on her. Personality: Her mind is a bit messed up due to constant change of personalities, but her original one is a cheerful kind tomboy. Appearance:  Bio: Living with her older sister. Her parents whereabouts are unknown. However, it's possible, that she's a nobility. She's fond of roofs and can be often found on the rooftop. Costumes owned: 1)Maid outfit - classic, grants cleaning skills 2)Miko outfit - another classic, grants purification and exorcism skills 3)Schoolgirl outfit - wears that at academy. No certain effect. 4)Martial arts uniform - the first fighting outfit she obtained, grants martial arts skills. (I'll increase this list as she gets new ones) |

Aeon | Mansion During the last week Aeon explored every inch of the mansion. He knew where all the rooms were. He also found specifically sealed rooms, with a barrier. He determined the barrier to be a type of blood barrier, instead of being created and sustained through the blood and magic of the castor, instead it allows people through based on their blood. Aeon suspected this meant that it let in Stormcallers, as this was their mansion. However, like all other magic Aeon had time to study, he discovered the workings of this barrier. "The stuff they've been hiding had better be worth it, I wasted a week trying to get through this stupid barrier" he thought to himself as he finished his preperations to get into one of the largest areas. The method involved adding his own magic into the barrier, and absorbing some of the magic already present, in order to alter the barrier so it would let Aeon in. After he finished adding the remaining magic he put his hand on the barrier. "Open" he commanded and his own magic gathered and allowed him passage. "Hah" Aeon thought, "there isn't a barrier in creation that can keep me out, as long as I have the time to learn it". Aeon walked inside the room, and the barrier closed behind him. "Well what do we have here" Aeon said quietly. Trying to find the items took him significantly longer than he thought it would, but this time he got them on the first try. Glancing around quickly, he noticed everything from weapons and armor to trinkets and jewelry. As he wandered closer to the tables, something caught his eye - an amulet. There was nothing really special about this amulet when it came to magic, what made it special was the seal on the amulet. Aeon quickly took out his ring of succession from his clan. "It's the same marking, how did this get here? Was it lost in a war?" he asked himself. Aeon checked around the amulet for any signs of an alarm, but when he found none, he figured the stormcallers must just rely on the barrier to keep people out, and he wouldn't blame them, it wasn't easy to get through. Aeon took the amulet and quickly wrote a seal in blood on the back, which dissappeared after he had finished it. Without bothering to look at anything else around the room, Aeon left, lost in thought about the amulet he found. |

[Talisman] [Before Sunrise] One week had gone by since Talisman was injured; now his injuries were somewhat completely healed and he was feeling a lot better than he arrived as. Fenris was kind enough to give him a room to stay in separate from the lounge the others were staying, and the freedom to roam as he pleased. Talisman had managed to retrieve his bag and picture back from the forest, managing to pull it off without alerting anyone. Talisman had told Fenris his name was Toorop Hunter, in order to hide his military secret. Talisman woke up before sunrise so he could move about the mansion without worry of anyone seeing him without his headband on or his cape and so he could see the sunrise. Talisman sat at the side of his bed scratching his head and ears, yawning as he looked out the window. “Good,†Talisman yawned. “Still a little dark, I have enough time, to get to the kitchen and make myself some tea. Don’t want to miss the sunrise. Better get ready.†Talisman stood up off the bed and stretched his arms above his head and stretched his tail. He pulled out a black t-shirt from his bag and pulled it over his torso, Talisman always slept only in his pants to keep his tail from shifting under his shirt and getting stuck. Talisman grabbed his boots and proceeded to tie them on. After, he tucked his tail under his shirt and tucked shirt in. Talisman walked up to a desk he had set his knife harness, tags, headband, gloves, and strap. Talisman grabbed his strap and tied his hair back; he then picked up his headband and tied it over his head for his usual reason, then pulled his gloves onto his hands. “Aright, all set.†said Talisman as he made his way to the door. He opened the door and poked his head out into the hallway. “Looks like everyone’s still asleep right now, better not wake anyone. Now to head for the kitchen.†Talisman made sure to put his patch into his bag and seal in with his paper charms. He left his things on his bed. Talisman stepped out of his room, closing the door as he left. Talisman managed to remember his way around the mansion, and headed for the kitchen. He ran silently trying not to wake anyone. He finally arrived at the kitchen and began to make himself some tea. “Hm,†started Talisman. “I may as well make some hot tea for everyone. I have to head for the lounge to get to the roof anyways. Plus it’s cold in the morning.†Talisman made tea for everyone and set the cups on a tray. He walked to the lounge that connected everyone’s rooms with the tray and set it on the table. Talisman put a note on the tray saying “I made some hot tea for everyone. I don’t expect you to drink it, but it’s just a thought. –Toorop-†Talisman grabbed his cup and walked up the stairs to the roof. As Talisman opened the door to the roof he felt a cool breeze across his face as he maneuvered his tail out from under his clothing. He closed the door and walked over to the railing of the balcony, leaning on the railing. He sipped his tea as he started to see the sun rise over the snow covered forest valley. Talisman felt the warmth of the sun and maneuvered his tail back and forth behind him. “It’s so calm in the morning.†said Talisman pulling out a picture from his pocket and began to stare at it. “All that’s missing is you being here enjoy it, Yuri.†|
