Endless Gravestones Claymore RP

[Reinard-fox]

One more boring night, he thought. “One more night he had to be up for no reason at all. Surely, it wouldn’t have made much of a difference if the sent out the warriors a day or two later. His duty would have been fulfilled without so much annoying bitching from higher ups, and he would have avoided this annoying rain, that almost killed his coat yesterday… But no, they had to do it. They had to order immediate execution of Awakened Being. Why? Its not like he was important… Or was he? Perhaps some special information was acquired, that changed things dramatically. Yeah, this must be it. That’s why they suddenly pressured him so much to begin elimination with so little preparations done. Oh well, at least it would not be his fault if all this fails. But, what exactly was this information?” He sighed, seemingly annoyed. Sometimes it surely is better to know less…

The four warriors, who will be sent to experience hell. One he heard a lot of. She was a devil, a cold hearted loli with little personality to mention. Even after falls she always got up… She was a character he respected and secretly hated. After all, it was impossible to dominate her. Although so tempting it was… Second one was an experienced warrior who had returned from devastated Rabona not so long ago. She was known for her loud voice and disdain towards handlers. One more person he would love to dominate. The third one was a newly promoted trainee, lowest of all in rank. He did not know much about her, but was rather sure he could dominate her. The fourth one was a man of great reputation and experience. As much as it would be nice to dominate him, this seemed to be quite hard to do. And the fifth one… He sighed again. Its not like she will let him dominate anyone in her presence. Although it shouldn’t have mattered to him theoretically, he could not help but ease his grab on peoples throats in her presence. Jack the Ripper a fearsome handler never felt at ease near #5 Julia.

Well, nobody did. Except Sebastian. But he is just too crazy to be included in “everyone” group.

He lifted his head to look at her and retreated immediately after catching her glance. Julia did not care much about being here, apparently. Just as about being anywhere else. Is he really the only one who hates swamps? It could not be… Some of the warriors, at least one, should hate it too. They could talk about it, he could find another weak spots in her… and they he would dominate her. Ah, the bright future! The feeling of being slapped by 10-megatone gaze on the back came again for god knows which time today. Damn you, Julia, for reading peoples minds…

Oh well. At least it is not raining anymore. But seriously, what kind of creature would chose this place to live in? This guy was totally worth exterminating.

They have finally arrived. Four young bodies he would like to dominate in various ways… Darn you Julia. Surely he heard her laugh behind his back. He should restrain himself… no more thoughts about dominating people… at least until she finally leaves. So yeah.

“Greetings, warriors. Your target lives somewhere in this swamp… Julia will lead the way. The terrain is pretty ugly here, and it gets worser if you go deeper. And you will be going deeeep.” He showed a stupid smile here. And got another air-slap form behind. “Ahem. This might sound unusual, but the faster you kill him the better. This is all… Unless you have questions. Hopefully not though, I hate this place. I want leave it already…”

Indeed, terrain was not a lovely one. A great number of deformed trees were dominating the plain scenary, with small amount of yellow grass stalks below them. Between trees a stinking swamp lied. It was mostly water, although hummocks could be seen here and there, the less dense the “forest was” the more ground freed from water. Warriors could see several clearings in distance… Yet, even those did not look very pleasant. No sounds could be heard, not even one bird lived here. Indeed, this place was not very welcoming.

Omnielle

Mental Note: This is my first real mission huh? They sure did pick a lovely location to torture me. I just wonder what the group mentality is right now...

As much as she hated wading through the swamps for any reason, her heart was beating fast with anticipation. This was going to be her first Awakened Being hunt. It had also occurred that this might be her last day on this world. Omnielle shook her head frantically and continued wading through the swamps. It was oddly warm, which reminded her of home. As she passed various trees, shrubs and rocks, she noticed a similar kind of moss growing on all of them that looked like Toriro Spinach.

*Toriro Spinach is quite a delicacy but hard to get in the south - it takes a little like wet socks, certainly an acquired taste*

Omnielle looked around to make sure no one was watching. She scooted over closer to the moss and sniffed it. She looked around cautiously once again, even taking the time to breath lightly. A small grin swept across her face.

Mental Note: I would like to say that if I get poisoned and die at least I can take comfort in being the only Warrior to have died as such. Still, I think it could at least taste similar... almost like dinner that one time...

Omnielle never forgot a meal. She could remember almost every meal she's had until now. It was just a shame she didn't do so well with people. Omnielle often thought life would be better if there was more food and less people, of course she realised the fallacy that if there was less people there would be less food. During this thought Omnielle had licked the moss without realising.

Instead of flinching away from the horrible taste (much worse than Toriro Spinach), she simply examined the texture and thickness.

"Hmm, interesting..." said Omnielle without a shred of resentment.

-----

She soon came across what looked to be a handler and another woman. She put on her face and walked towards the woman calmly. She stopped a few paces in front of the pair and listened closely to what was being said - all the while getting the impression that something was not right. Especially from the masked man. Thought she couldn't see his face, she felt like she was getting violated somehow. Of course, the woman seemed as uncomfortable, or perhaps Omnielle was reading the situation incorrectly.

When the situation was awkward, the only thing left to do was to push through it and speak up. She didn't want to do anything like that, it would certainly get her noticed, but perhaps she had to change and flourish. Like a mushroom. Like a truffle. A lovely...soft...melts in your mouth truffle.

"Hyuk...*cough*... ahem," she had tried to say. Apparently speech had failed her; a choking feeling around her neck mixed with nervousness did this. "Excuse me. It's nice to meet you all, I'm rank 47, Omnielle. I know I'm new to this so please look after me. And you all are...?" questioned Omnielle, allowing ample time for everyone to answer before asking her next question.

Omnielle looked at her companions as she said this. Somehow she had gotten the feeling that the strongest one was a polite but strict person. The others seemed to give off that vibe as well. Though the shortest one seemed a lot more intense than the rest. What their faces and body didn't tell her, their yoki did.

"If I may be so bold to ask, what can you tell us about the target we're hunting?" said Omnielle, not expecting a full answer.

[Rakshasha]

Madallaine

Wet. Damp. And green where it wasn't supposed to be.

Nothing out of the ordinary. She seen worse places by far; Rabona for example.

Madallaine was a slow walker; Her massive near seven foot frame didn't require too much speed - obstacles moved away on their own.
With pipe in hand, and a quite apathetic expression even on the site of the handler where her usual reaction would be to spew an endless stream of cynical remarks and insults, she just remained silent, even in her thoughts.

The pipe left her mouth, a stream of sweet smelling tobbacco smoke followed suit closely. She flipped it over, emptying the contents free up against the metal boot, and neatly packing it to a small satchel strapped to her leg;

"Number 27, Madalline."

The large frame stepped over to a nearby tree, crossing her arms, and leaning against it, dutifully waiting for anything else the keeper may feel the urge to spit out.

[Rabbit]

Mara

The clinking of armour announced her presence to the heightened senses of the other warriors long before the new arrival actually appeared. She walked at a slow, almost solemn pace with her sword raised parallel to her body. Her lips moved in benediction. It was her particular quirk - to the best of her knowledge no other warrior approached her level of dedication to her duty. Of course, the reality was that they all thought her to be insane. Perhaps she was. Supposedly all rumours contain a grain of truth after all.

As she neared the gathering, Mara replaced her sword in the sheath on her back and saluted sharply, "Mara. Number 30", the 30 being dragged out of her with some measure of disgust, "reporting."

This is how it worked. She was a weapon, trained and conditioned for one purpose. They pointed her at the targets and she killed them. It wasn't difficult to understand. Her silver eyes flitted from warrior to warrior among the gathering as she waited for any further instructions - aside from the cheerful one they were, all of them, her superiors. The hierarchy had to be respected. She inclined her head in deference to each of them in turn.

[kenjmg]

Arc

Arc simply walk into edge of the group formed by the warriors who had arrive earlier. The swamp gave an unfamiliar feeling which put him a little on edge but, he did his best to suppress it for now. "This may come a problem later." Arc thought. Arc had heard the conversation as he approached as he attempt to think of any information he would require for the mission. "It looks like I am the last one let see. Looks like their a couple familiar face but, the other he haven't met before." Arc thought as he began to observe and listen giving a quick introduction, "Number 20, Arc."

Arc then listen for an answer to the rookie Omnielle question though he doubt they would get any useful answer he thought, "If she hadn't ask the question would of simple because it needed to be asked. Though it is curious why he would ask us to finish the awaken being as soon as we found it does this mean that it has ability that work over a period of time or that their will be some interference from an outside source that will hinder us. Let see how Omnielle question is handle before I put word to my own question. Though it looks like these kind of things will annoy the handler greatly." Arc simple waited for a response from the handler and he stood in the background trying to get a feel for his surrounding.

[Reinard-fox]

Hoho, said Jack. Jack was impressed. This people were actually eager to ask questions… He was used to deal with warriors like Mara, who did not trust words and preferred to learned information on the battlefield, but he rarely was asked anything. Perhaps that’s because he was usually dealing with simple missions unlike this one. They must be surprised about those special orders… Well, no wonder. He is surprised too. Yet, he saw no reason for them to worry. There job was to fight after all, no matter who, no matter how, no matter when. In the end it all came down to simple slaughter. And considering that three of present warriors were rather experienced failure could not be expected. Well, three not counting Julia… Jack shivered. He preferred to think about her less…

“Of course I can… if that matters. I have no information about him since he became an Awakened Being, which, if you care, happened 6 years ago. Since then he was missing… and was finally found here a month ago. Naturally he was put on the list of extermination right away, but no specific orders came till yesterday. And those were orders you received…” Jack realized his speech was rather useless and did not answer the question at all… But he was curious and could not help it. After all, it was a rare opportunity to actually have a dialog with a person who might die in next hour...

“So, although I can not tell you about his current state, I can at least give you some information about him being a warrior. Skipping the unnecessary details, I can say that he was a rather powerful being who relied on his speed more then on his strength. He was of defensive type rather then offensive… yet it was quite typical for him to attack first rather then wait for enemy to make their move. Hm, what else…” There certainly were things Jack would prefer to skip telling, as they did not make Organization look all that good. Especially the fate of #9 who went to kill him right after he awakened…

“Oh yeah, I have not told you his name yet. Our target is ex-15 Cornelius, nicknamed Waterphilic. As for reasons for such name… I think I will skip them. Kinda too disgusting…” Jack wrinkled and waved his hand as if trying to brush off the image. He heard a quiet laugh again. Damn this woman. Someday he will get back at her… Heh, as if he could.

“That’s about all I could tell you I think. If you have any other questions I might answer them… oh, and you can ask Julia too.” He grinned. Surely Julia answering questions would be quite a sight… “I forgot to tell her, she is #5 Julia, and she will as you guessed be accompanying you on your little trip.”

[Elcura]

Omnielle

Mental Note: Handlers don't give straight answers, nor do they give good ones. Makes you wonder why they're even around. How frustrating... but at least he gave us something... it's something... right?

Omnielle stared at Jack with wide eyes, almost as if she was trying to soak in everything she could. She sighed a few times at his answers, but at least he had stopped talking.

"Fantastic... thanks for that..." said Omnielle, half heartedly.

This was a weird group she was in, she couldn't discern the overall mood. Rebellious, strict, reserved, calm, cool and collected. It was hard to decide which personality she would go for. Omnielle knew that she wouldn't get any more answers out of this guy. He was like a sponge and once you've squeezed out all the water it was empty.

"Umm... I guess we should go now? You know, if you think that's a good idea-- and... I'll...be quiet now..." said Omnielle timidly.

Mental Note: Dammit! Is that what it's come down too? I guess it's appropriate to act all timid and submissive... such strength and high ranks, what am I supposed to do? I can't just walk off, I have to follow... maybe someone else will think it's a good idea... If you can hear my thoughts, let's go already!

Omnielle stood quietly and breathed as lightly as she could. Her goal was to bring as little attention to herself, but that was easier said than done. She wanted to ask a lot more questions - what was Julia strength? What would they do if they found the Awakened Being? Was there a battle plan? How would they work together?

So many questions, yet a frog in her throat forced silence upon her. The kind of frogs that one finds in the Rokut region.

*Rokut Frogs are extremely poisonous if prepared incorrectly, eating one could cause hallucination, stomach pain, liver failure and death.*

That was one hell of an evening...

[kenjmg]

Arc

Arc listen closely to answer and thought, "He seems surprised by the fact we asked any question. I guess he usually deals with the silent types or giving missions that are more clear cut. So we are dealing with an ex-15 who is a defensive type with speed type offensive tendencies. Would that contradiction make him easier or harder to deal with? Well I guess I should ask what is on mind then." Arc after a moment pause then asked, "Just two question will their be any know potential hindrance in this region other then terrain and target? And what was the general direction of the last location that target was seen?" Arc waited for a response not expecting much from the inquires but, hoping they barred some fruit for his effort.

Mara stood as still as a rock. It was not in her nature to ask questions about the mission. She had never once questioned orders, not since that day...

But this was a special case. Here was the battle she had been born to fight. Awakened Beings...both traitors and yoma at the same time. The kind of battle she relished without being truly remiss in her duties.

"I have no further questions. When the others have gathered information to their satisfaction I will proceed with eliminating the target."

The skin on her face started to crawl slightly, for a moment. It was as if the monster inside her was growing impatient. Impatient to start the hunt.

[Rakshasha]

Madallaine

Perched comfortably in her spot, she had neither questions nor objections; It was straight forward really.
Find it, stop it, slice it. All you have to do is catch it, and the gods offered a milion and one ways on how one can do that.

Simple really.

"...that of course won't stop me from getting myself killed. Whoop de friggin doo."

True, to Madallaine that cloud of death that followed each claymore on every single step was...irrelevant. If she died this moment, still she would be indifferent to it.

At least this way, she dies with sword in hand.

"Let's get this on with shall we?"

[Elcura]

Omnielle

It seemed the group was mildly torn between action and respite. One side (herself included) wanted to know as much as they could before getting into a fight, the otherside was more inclined to just jump into a fight and see what happens. The highest ranked of them all - Julia - didn't seem to have an opinion thus far, perhaps she wasn't at all worried about what was going to happen. But it seemed Arc was concerned. So far, Omnielle liked Arc the best - but that was merely because he was the only one to talk so far.

"Umm, I guess I want to ask something else as well come to think of it... if that's ok... is it ok?" said Omnielle timidly. "Do you know anything about the target's personality? What he likes...what he doesn't like, how he reacts? F-finally...I really hope it's OK... Miss Julia, what are your thoughts on this? And um, what kinda of things can you do?"

Mental Note: I should probably make sure no one knows a lot about me if I ever awaken...

Mental Note 2: Are those red leaves edible? Looks like... I wonder what the chances of us getting poisoned are...?

Omnielle was ready to move regardless of answers, if the group had been satisfied.

[Reinard-fox]

"Just two question will their be any know potential hindrance in this region other then terrain and target? And what was the general direction of the last location that target was seen?" – woah, its getting more and more fun! Jack was getting more and more excited, despite pressure from behind growing at the same pace as his mood did. It did not affect him as much anymore, as in he did not wish for Julia’s disappearance as much as he did before, but it surely made him concentrate and answer quickly, instead of giving out something vast and verbose.

“This two are quite simple… I know of no potential hindrances that might interfere with your task. And you won’t need to know his latest location. Julia will guide you.” It was short and simple. He was as honest as he could be. After all, he surely did not possess any information on both questions… and. to be completely honest, he wish he never did to begin with. Some things are better not known…

Despite the two of warriors getting impatient due to either boredom or thirst for blood another question came – from the youngest warrior. "Do you know anything about the target's personality? What he likes...what he doesn't like, how he reacts? F-finally...I really hope it's OK... Miss Julia, what are your thoughts on this? And um, what kinda of things can you do?"

Now, this surely surprised Jack. He did not expect any of them to refer to Julia… Not because the question was bad – it actually made perfect sense – that’s just that he could not remember anyone who was that willing to talk with Julia. Yet again, except Sebastian. Damn him too… Uh, how cold… how heavy. Time to answer, he can think it over later…

“I have never handled missions of Cornelius when he was still one of you, but from what I heard from others I can conclude that he had a difficult personality. Despite being easygoing, he actually never missed anything that happened around him and was always well-informed about everything. Probably because of his light character he was never actually witnessed displaying hostility towards anyone, even his enemies. He was never intimidated also… I guess you could say he never really cared about either his comrades or his enemies.”

It seemed that Jack has finished his speech… or rather it was Julia who decided it was enough. She simply got up and started walking towards the direction of “forest”, where swamp was getting more and more watery. "My strength lies in reading opponent and using this information to exploit his weaknesses.” Suddenly Julia spoke, answering earlier question. "Although that could be said about any warrior, my case is special. As I indeed can read people perfectly and I indeed can cause immense pain after doing so. In, again, a special way.” It seemed to be an end to her monologue as she continued to jump from hummock to hummock in silence ever since.

Finally swamp was starting to retreat, or so it seemed. It was becoming less and less watery, and areas with no moss by actual although yellow grass were now appearing here and there. As they advanced forward Julia began looking around with increasing frequency, as if searching for something. Finally, a faint smile appeared on the cold face bearing till now a rock-like expression. Has she noticed something? Indeed, left to them, between two trees for only a second yellow butterfly could be seen… Julia stopped.

"This is it. Just a bit further, and we will see our target… From what it seems a rather big clearing awaits us there, while left and right flanks will still be as watery as worst part of swamp we encountered. If we advance, battle will begin. If you have any more questions, [faint smile] or want to discuss a strategy now is the only time.”

-------------------------------------

OOC: I dared to NPC your character so that we could get to the actual action faster… Unless you wanted to make posts about how you traveled through swamp I think it should be OK ;p You indeed can ask Julia questions if you need to. If you do I’ll just make short posts replying as fast as I can.

From now on you can use Julia as an NPC in fight. Her profile with perks, skill and stats can be found in Allies & Enemies in Organization section. I’ll put Cornelius there too soon… when I finish history.

[Elcura]

Omnielle

Omnielle's eyes widened even more by the answers she was given. At first it was surprise by Jack's comments, then shock and little horror at Julia's. She now knew without a doubt that the air of discomfort was coming from her. She looked upon the handler with a certain empathy.

She was grateful for the answers and somehow had a much better impression of the handler, Jack. Though still hesitant to see what he was truly like when Julia didn't have his balls in a vice.

Omnielle was interested in Julia's speciality, not so much the thought that she could see right through her. If Julia could discern weakness, Omnielle could pinpoint target it and attack. Together it seemed like an effective attack. It seemed like a good idea if the rest created an opening. But Julia still scared her witless, forcing Omnielle's external personality to become even more timid.

"Can you... see through your teammates as well? said Omnielle quietly. She wanted to know just how much Julia knew, though it wasn't as if she had some big secret to keep.

When the team finally stopped, Julia's attention suddenly turned to what looked like a butterfly. Could that be a sign or symptom of a fight? Omnielle couldn't help but feel helpless and awkward. But yet, a plan needed to be made. A method of attack utilizing everyone's strengths and covering their weaknesses. But how to go about such a thing?

She felt it was rude for her to address everyone so forcefully, especially when the group mentality was about respect and discipline. She awaited her chance to speak, possibly in response to another...

[Reinard-fox]

-Julia-

What an interesting girl… trying to hide herself so much that it becomes exposed in most weird ways… Even scared of me she still wishes to come closer and learn more. Is it curiosity or she is driven by practical reasons? Her reasons surely can’t be purely logical, not in her case. This must be a part of her hide-and-seek game with her own personality. Being ashamed of what she has inside of her soul she desperately searches for something to exchange it with – and whats better then something you fear and admire? This must be why she is interested in me. Quite admirable. Only few are able to face their fears like that. Yet again, one must be careful to not go too deep.

"Indeed, I’m capable of seeing through both enemies and allies, there is no technical difference. After all, one we will be facing shortly was fighting alongside me ones too. ” “And most certainly, I wish we will never meet like this with any of you. As nobody here will be easy to defeat.”

[Rabbit]

As soon as Mara saw the yellow butterfly she realised something was not right. This was further confirmed when the captain called a halt. Mara looked ahead to where Julia had pointed out the Voracious Eater's resting place.

"...the battlefield is not ideal. Mobility will be reduced. We are on unfavourable ground", she said in her typical colourless tone, "I must know more..."

With that she began to focus, extending her hyperawareness [Battlefield Omniscience] to gain more information about her surroundings. It was obviously a swamp but...there might be some sort of signs or patterns to give away the enemy's presence. If nothing else, she would continue to use it and learn about the area as the battle progressed.

[Rakshasha]

Madallaine

Madallaine stayed all the while in the rear of the grouping; It was a pretty bad week, and knowing her own temper things would go from bad to worse. For now she showed no initiative to converse at all, simply silent and brooding.

(...)

A wild child. From the moment she could stand on her own two legs, even in the arrid swamplands she felt at home...the more they trudged through it, the more she loved it.

"...This is it. Just a bit further, and we will see our target… From what it seems a rather big clearing awaits us there, while left and right flanks will still be as watery as worst part of swamp we encountered. If we advance, battle will begin. If you have any more questions, [faint smile] or want to discuss a strategy now is the only time...”

A tree looked so nicely at Madallaine; She didn't need her youki to clamber up, there was enough muscle and agility in her to make it as lithely and quietly as possible.

"So I heard he's pretty fast. How fast, is what I want to know. Make him three times our strength, and we can out run him. Make him three times our speed, and we can twice fold slow him down."
Her near bald head, turned slowly, a curious expression formed the left brow perked up high;
"If that clearing is big enough, we can try luring him up to the water's edge. The swamp's got enough mud in it to have held us up nicely, let alone him...from there we can take care of the more amusing details."

With that finished, Madallaine slowly turned her head back towards the view of the field;
"And another question...how far away?"

[kenjmg]

Arc

After the answers from the handler the Julia began to walk away. Not wanting to be left behind all the warriors followed her into the swampy forest. Until the group began to approach a clearing. Julia then said as she stop just before entering the clearing:

"This is it. Just a bit further, and we will see our target… From what it seems a rather big clearing awaits us there, while left and right flanks will still be as watery as worst part of swamp we encountered. If we advance, battle will begin. If you have any more questions, [faint smile] or want to discuss a strategy now is the only time.”

Arc prepared himself as he began looking around to get a better idea of the battleground before they advance further. With a few question on his mind but, deciding to get the answers with his own abilities. Activate Perk: Enhanced Perception Arc will try to figure out how much solid ground and water ground they have to work with in the clearing and see if he can sense and located the target yet from now and as they enter the clearing in which the battle begin.

[Reinard-fox]

While Julia was having her lovely chat with Omnielle, other warriors, trusting nothing but their own senses, begin to gather information by themselves. As Arc and Mara were using their abilities to sense and perceive further then they could under normal circumstances (although battle was routine for them as well…) Madallaine decided to warm up a bit by climbing a tree. What she could see from there were another 100 meters of good old swamp, that suddenly ended with a clearing which had a form of a geometrically ideal square, about 50 meters in diameter. On the distant end of it something that looked like ruins of a sort of a wooden barracks lied. Near it stood a barrel, which looked perfectly fine compared to ruins. Past and across the clearing the same swamp as the one they have been traveling through before lied.

"And another question...how far away?" – Madallaine, who could not see the enemy, decide to ask for her comrades opinion.

"About 150 meters I would say. Its very faint… but it is there. And no mistake about it, its our target himself. ” Apparently, Julia was capable of sensing Cornelius.

Even with his ability activated [perk successful] Arc could not sense the target. Yet, structure of the soil around him and even what kind of ground clearing was based on he could sense. While next 100 meters of swamp were same as the place they were standing on, once trees ceased to cover earth from sun ground became much more solid. It became obvious to him that this clearing was not a natural creation – humans perhaps were the ones responsible for its appearance. And judging from the presence of barracks, it could be assumed that some time ago, until, perhaps, yoma appeared here, turf gatherers lived here.

Huge difference between swamp here and ground of the clearing became clear to Arc – as much as it was impossible to move fast here, clearing was much more convenient for fast movements and maneuvers. Naturally, for someone who preferred speed over strength, clearing was an ideal place for a fight.


Mara, whose ability to locate enemy was developed further the that of Arc or Madallaine, was able to sense more [perk successful]. Although she too could not sense the enemy himself, she could tell – the forest that lied between them and enemy was full of life. Same could be said about regions flanking the clearing. Apparently, butterflies preferred sunny places to gloomy forest of the swamp.

She also noticed, that regions of swamp flanking the clearing was not much different from ground the were standing on now – it would be quite difficult to move about there, unless one loved to jump from tree to tree, or from hummock to hummock.

OOC: If there was a question in your posts that i managed to miss - tell me so through IRC or PM. I will add answer to the post without fail ;p

Rakshasha, Rabbit - you forgot to add 5 points to your profile - for reference look at announcement desk.

[kenjmg]

Arc

"It appears that we are going to fighting on ruin surround by swamp. Well bring the fight to that area will likely be one of the keys to victory since it will be even more difficult to fight in the swamp." Arc thought after make his observations. Keep his perk activated as they continued toward where Julia said the target is located. "150m away is it. Julia must have some well honed senses then if she located the opponent already. As expected from a single digit. However the fact she can barely sense the target from this distance tell me that target is good at hiding its presence. That could very troublesome depending how good he is at. Oh well guess we just have to deal with it." Arc thought as he continued to follow the group as they head towards the clearing.

[Elcura]

Omnielle

Omnielle looked at Julia in awe. She could tell that this was the kind of person she wished to be - in a sense - everyone had their own personality flaws. Julia's were obvious but at the same time a mystery. You saw what you needed to see when you needed to see it, but nothing else. You wouldn't accidentally gleam some hidden gem of her personality. She was in control.

"It must be hard to fight an old friend - if that was the case... I suppose that's why no one really gets friendly here huh? Today’s allies are tomorrow's enemies..." said Omnielle. "Ahh, sorry for speaking out of turn... I-I mean..."

It was sooner than she expected, but the group was about ready to fight. This would be Omnielle's first real encounter with an Awakened Being. She didn't know if she was brave enough to fight. She thought she was, when she was alone she was confident enough to do anything, but around other people it suddenly became more real.

Mental Note: I will not be afraid, I will not be afraid, I will not be afraid... dammit, this isn't going to work! I'm hungry already... kinda thirsty too... I don't really want to do this...

Omnielle looked around at her comrades; she wondered if anyone else felt the same way she did. From appearances, it would seem no one did. She gave one last longing look to Julia, her perhaps would be idol. It was only natural for her to feel that way.

It was close, but the terrain would be an issue. She couldn't tell anything else about it, but her comrades seemed to know. Omnielle was shivering a lot; she almost couldn't control her own body.

"Um...Umm... I err, I think it would be wise to talk about how we're going to fight... fight this thing, if that's OK with everyone...if not I'll be quiet..." said Omnielle, almost whispering by the end of her sentence.
