Endless Gravestones Claymore RP

As usual, handler appeared out of the blue, creeping the hell out of her. Its not that he just looked like an old pedophile - he behaved like one with no shame, almost emphasizing his disgusting hobby to the point where one had to wonder, what the hell is he hiding if he needs to pretend to be a such a monster?

As usual, his manner of speech or rather his voice that was trembling on the verge of falling into the abyss of deep sounds woke her up from thoughts, getting in the depth of her brain, clearing it completely, filling it up with itself, leaving no room for anything but its disgusting sounds.

"Listen, this is the mission for you. I would say it is specifically for you as you fit for it better then anyone. Listen carefully. You are to go and find a hiding monster. This monster is of special kind, so be careful around it. It is hiding somewhere in the misty town not far from here. Finding it shouldn’t be a problem for you, but it is almost impossible for us... this monster has a sly brain even we cant comprehend after all. So go there and find it. I can only give you one advice - city tavern is a good place to start your search at - a lot of people gather in it after all... Go, and be careful. THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM TO BE!"

Leaving Morgana with this epithome of wisdom, handler started to leave. If she wanted, she could go and catch up to him for further questions still, but to do that she will have to hurry - soon he will enter the forest, and finding any handler in a deep dark forest is no easy task, especially a creepy pervert like this one.

Another option was simply following his command - at the other side of the hill town could be seen, drown in the see of never ending mist. The mysterious monster was hiding there...

Morgana:

The mist seemed to be thick in these hills; the area, serene, calm but oddly creepy. It was almost fitting to have to meet with such a handler.

Morgana had been wandering through the area, sent on a mission which was, for some reason meant specifically for her talents. Morgana didn't see herself as a very talented Claymore so the situation seemed a bit weird in her head but without any objections, Morgana headed to the area.

Her head was filled with questions along the way. Why would a low ranking Claymore with no specific name for herself even be called out so far away from her designated area anyway? If she was going to progress though, she had to be up to any task given to her and show the organization that she was good enough for them, that she could accomplish any task thrown at her even if pieces of her never came back. Morgana felt committed to serve the Organization. They had, after-all, bought her off of the "Fallen Angels". They had basically saved her from being a slave orphan, give her hope. She would commit to them for giving her her life back.

As if almost on cue, the handler approached. He looked old and creepy. The mist only enhancing the shiver going down her spine as he began to speak. His movements were quick like any other handler even with his old, creepy appearance, Morgana had nothing to ask though so she let him be, turning around just as soon as he began disappearing back into the forest. He had advised for her to begin her journey at a nearby tavern so she would simply comply with him.

Things are not always what they seem to be...

That was really something to consider but Morgana understood this most of all. Though externally she seemed like she felt no emotions, was unaffected by her surroundings, by others, she felt everything just like anyone else. Maybe she even felt it more than others because externally, she didn't feel free to express any of these aforementioned feelings.

Morgana was getting closer to the town now, her thoughts slowly dimming.

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

Morgana will inspect the town and the citizens before walking into the tavern trying to see if there is anything odd in their behavior or in their city (physical observations). Along her way, she will sense for any yoki presence, if she feels any of it far off, she will take note of it and proceed to the tavern, if it is close-by, she will prepare to defend herself from it and block any incoming attacks.

If or once she makes it into the tavern, she will look around and inspect it there, the people, the location, the atmosphere. Morgana will keep her ears open and listen to whatever she can all the while.

[Reinard-fox]

The misty town was full of mist, as expected. People were looking dark as well, as if something ominous was hunting down their souls for quite a while, leaving unbearable marks on their hearts. Such curses were difficult to cure, but easy to get infected with. Yet, despite all of citizens literally beaming with darkness from within Morgana could find a reason for this easily no matter how much she searched for it. Was it the nearby mountain that dominated the town, covering it with a gigantic shadow, was it the mist that almost never left this place, never letting cloths dry properly, she didn’t know.

However, aside from general gloominess everywhere, Morgana couldn’t find any distinct features or anything specific that would point her towards a new direction of a search. Meaning, she had no other options but to go into the tavern.

(Posted Image)

It was an absolutely standard town, that had nothing different about it that would make it stand out from thousands of taverns in the world. Standard people, standard tough guy by the entrance, standard fight in the corner, standard alcoholic sleeping on the counter. The only thing that easily cought the eye was the cute uniform that waitresses were wearing. Somehow it made seem like white boats in the ocean of darkness.

Perhaps it was their whiteness that caught Morganas attention, but somehow deep inside she knew - waitresses, who communicated with guests the most, in various ways, are the ones possessing most information. In the hall four of them worked, making customers happy bringing drinks and sad denying date invitations.

One was a beautiful yet aggressive looking dark-haired girl.

(Posted Image)

Second one was a quite, strict type with long purple hair.

(Posted Image)

Third one was a beautiful girl, the only one among four that was wearing gloves.

(Posted Image)

And a forth one was a calm, caring type, somehow the scariest one for customers to approach.

(Posted Image)

Which one will give Morgana what she is seaking for...?

[Sapphire]

Morgana:

The people in this town did seem like something was up but no matter how hard Morgana looked into it, she just couldn't find a source for it. She proceeded to walk into a tavern where everything looked quite as normal as it would in any other town. The general ruckus was making it hard for Morgana to concentrate in any one conversation. Maybe this was why noise was one of her least favourite activities to live through.

Morgana knew she had to communicate to one person specifically if she wanted to proceed in her mission and who better to talk to than someone who's job was to interact with others.

There were four waitresses who all seemed like they had their fair share of knowledge so after some thought, Morgana approached a peculiar-looking waitress wearing gloves. She seemed friendly enough to hold a conversation without Morgana having to worry about what to communicate back to the other and hopefully, if Morgana had luck on her side, things would turn out better than usual.

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

With a faint smile and her hands away from her sword, Morgana will approach the waitress making sure to be attentive to the situation at all times (physical observation). If Morgana gets asked something she will but her hands over her mouth a bit shyly signally the other that she isn't the talking type but proceed to try to hold a conversation with the other as much as possible showing the other that she is interested in the information(if she gives any) by nodding every once in a while and keeping a faint smile present then finally bowing her head slightly to show thanks.

Morgana will try to find out about the yoma's whereabouts hoping that it is obvious that she is here for that but if the waitress doesn't provide the information or brings it up, Morgana will try to bring it up by signalling her swords but not taking them out since that might scare the people. If she is directed in a certain direction, Morgana will proceed keeping in check once more the area(physical observation and yoki sensing)

[Reinard-fox]

"Gloved" waitress looked at Morgana with innocent eyes and bowed as she would have done to any normal customer. Morgana noticed no fear in waitress, while other customers, although not behaving like small girls facing a mouse, still tried to keep their distance from her. Waitress smiled innocently.

"How can I help you, warrior? Do you with for milk or perhaps red tea with coconut pieces? Or perhaps, child liver for a small launch?"

However, Morgana wasn’t responding. At least not like a normal person would. However, her hand put over the mouth gave a waitress an idea of what she wants.

"Ah, I’m so sorry, I should have guessed right away! Come to think of it, you look kind of pale... You want to throw up, right? Toilet is this way..."

Her hand showed the direction... Waitress looked kind and innocent, but not very smart.

[Sapphire]

Morgana:

Morgana felt horrible. She couldn't communicate anything, ever. As if this wasn't hard enough, the waitress didn't seem to understand.

-----------

Morgana will try to find out about the yoma's whereabouts hoping that it is obvious that she is here for that but if the waitress doesn't provide the information or brings it up, Morgana will try to bring it up by signalling her swords, if she doesn't understand, she will take one of them out and give a questioning look, if she still doesn't understand, Morgana will start slashing fake yomas next to her. If she STILL doesn't understand, Morgana will give up on trying to communicate with her and head to the nearest other waitress using the same tactics.

If she is directed in a certain direction, Morgana will proceed keeping in check once more the area(physical observation and yoki sensing)

Waitress looked as clueless as before.

"Eeee... so its not toilet? What it is then... soar throat? Flue? Blow job gone wrong? WHAT IS IT?!"

It seems she disliked this lack-of-communication situation just as much as Morgana if not more. She started to circle around Morgana who, for some reason, was hoping her sheer luck will solve the situation. In desperation, she put her hand on the sword...

"WHA-WHA-WHA-WHAT ARE YOU DOING ARE YOU GOING TO KILL ME!?"

As if transgressing to another level of being, waitress demonstrated unexpected agility and expectedly pink panties to the audience, performing a back salto to land behind the counter. She hid behind it, only her eyes glowing from there, as if aiming to burn Morgana down before she approaches.

However, people in the tavern didn’t seem as surprised as they should have been.

"There she goes again...

OMG, not again...

Daily show continues..."

Whispers from around the room quickly filled up the silence that dominated the tavern for only a mere second after waitress screamed. Apparently, absurd theater was a daily routine here. Black haired girl sighed especially heavily and approached the hiding disaster.

"I don’t think she wanted to attack you, Judith. Claymores cant do it anyways. I think she is here for a job and is looking for info or something. Come and talk to her properly, you are leaving a bad impression about the town... Not that it matters, considering she is a witch."

Gloved waitress sighed heavily and performed an exaggerated facepalm that, surprisingly, looked really natural coming from her. She slowly crawled from her sanctuary and approached Morgana. Her irritated look was gone, now she looked pleased like a scientist who had just uncovered one of laws governing this world. She opened her mouth... and suddenly her expression chaged again. This time she looked really worried. Sweat appeared on her forehead.

"I-I-I-m sure you are wrong Clara, hahaha! I bet she just wants to go to toilet really badly! Hahaha! Lets go, warrior, I’ll show you the way!"

Before Morgana could object, waitress pulled her hand with incredible force. In a flesh she found herself in the back room filled with various kinds of things. It wasn’t very roomy here, and every move made dust form beautifully shaped clouds that slowly faded away, falling back onto stuff. Waitress no longer worried; instead, her chest was moved forward, as if she was boasting.

"So you came here looking for the Monster, huh! You should have said so, you weirdo! You came to the right person! Since I’m The Monster!"

Morgana:

Desperate times called for desperate measures as Morgana reached for her sword in an attempt to further explain, it seemed like the waitress freaked out, displaying some astounding agility and hiding behind the counter. It was rather obvious that this was a common thing, an overreaction; though Morgana didn't know whether to feel bad for frightening the other female or not.

It seemed like the other waitresses were at least rational, which made Morgana feel unlucky for picking the one that had the most... problems. One of them spoke up and calmed the gloved waitress down. It seemed like though she wasn't part of the conversation, she easily understood what Morgana wanted to say.

At last though, "Judith" came back, her expressions changing constantly and oddly; once again insisting that Morgana had to go to the restroom. With great strength that Morgana saw no source of, Morgana was pulled into a small, dusty back room.

Morgana was apparently facing The Monster.
-------------------

Morgana will back away from Judith as much as possible and stay as close to the door that they had come in through as possible. She will be ready to block any attacks though.

[Sapphire]

Morgana:

It seemed like Judith was just going to boast endlessly but one could never be too sure. Morgana was unsure of whether to be unfazed by the ranting or take her constant boasting as a threat. It felt odd that this girl would be the monster when she could potentially just be nuts as she had demonstrated earlier though those words were not to be taken lightly. It was Morgana's life goal after-all to cleanse the Earth of yoma and if someone posed a threat, it would be enough reason to act.

Now would be the time to act, not whimper away from a potential danger. Now would be time, to do her job, no; her life as instructed.
----------------------

Morgana will observe (physical observation) Judith for any changes. She will also scan for yoki quickly, even if she doesn't detect any yoki, Morgana will take her claymores out and spring forward aiming to cut the purple "woman's" hands off.

If she is bleeding red, Morgana will then stop herself from attacking any further, retrieving anything that would clot the wounds then proceed to head back the way she came. If anything important comes up, Morgana will inspect it. Morgana will search for the brown haired waitress who had spoken out and point to her swords and slashing imaginary yoma in the air trying to receive an answer. If there is none, she will leave. If an answer is give to her, she will listen. If a direction is given to her, she will follow said directions, if a name is given to her, she will ask for a pen by writing on her hand with an invisible one and write the name on her own arm then ask people outside.

If she is bleeding purple, Morgana will curve her right sword inward trying to slash in a crescent going from middle right to lower left to upper left at her chest level with her right sword while thrusting the left one forward aiming right at the chest and removing the sword toward the left horizontally before readying to block any incoming attacks with her left sword and countering with diagonal slashes (lower right to upper left) and alternating.

Indeed it seemed like time of communication deficiency was over... but time for proper talk didn’t arrive for some reason. Instead, Morgana decided to cut the poor maid, who was just feeling proud of herself, apart like a small vegetable. She tried to sense her yoki briefly, but nothing could be found. There were no changes in maids figure either. So...

Morganas swords flew downwards like two seagulls aiming for the same fish. Whoever, instead of a tasty cod they found a shark. From the depth of maids outfits a sword appeared, blocking Morganas strike in mid air. Simultanesously, maid moved her left hand - another weapon came in arc with lighting speed. Before Morgana could move back, it struck at her legs, cutting ligaments connecting her feet and shin bones. Morgana continued her attack, trying to curve her blades around maids claymore, but it was of no avail - maid just jumped back and Morgana, whose legs were now useless, fell on the ground.

"W-W-W-What the hell are you doing! Why are you attacking me?! You will blow my cover like that!"

Maid was walking around Morgana angrily waving her claymore sword around. Gigantic scythe she felt victim to was in another hand, resting still.

"Wipe your blood off the floor once you regenerate! I cant have this place dirty or master will scold me afterwards! God, didn’t handler tell you to find a monster? So here I am! I was hiding here, collecting information on this weird group on yoma and bandits working together. And when I requested a back up, you are the one who is sent! Awesome, awesome, that’s how much the value me! Freaking assholes!"

Girl started walking around even faster, as if trying to let her anger out faster this way.

"Anyways, we will have to get moving soon! Get ready! I will be heading out. Meet me on the other side of the town, nearby the horse shop. Your mission will be to follow me in secret. It is important that they think I’m alone! So move cautiously, and look around you to memorize everything. Even if I will not return, at least you will live to tell Organization... Wait."

Girl stopped her marathon and looked at Morgana with reeeaaally narrow eyes.

"How are you gonna tell them if you cant even talk... Oh well. You can always write it all on the paper. Why weren’t you doing it earlier when attempting a talk with me anyways?! Gooooooosh. Anyhow. Get ready and follow me in secret."

Maid disappeared from the room while hiding her gigantic weapons inside her dresses.

[Sapphire]

Morgana

Morgana's swords flew at Judith as she quickly blocked and countered as Morgana's ligaments were torn apart from her shin to he feet. Morgana feel on the floor then, her hands trying to steady the fall while holding her swords.

Would it all be over this easily? Why was so clumsy Morgana at the worst times? IT was pathetic to die at the hands of some yoma who didn't even need to transform to pack a punch. But wait... it was talking... What was it saying?

"...collecting information on this weird group on yoma and bandits working together. And when I requested a back up, you are the one who is sent! Awesome, awesome, that’s how much the value me! Freaking assholes!"

Back-up... The handler had failed to inform her of any sort of details like this or if he had tried to inform her to find this "monster" he had phrased it in a way that would only prove to confuse Morgana. Either way, it seemed she would live for a little longer and now, she had help and at the very least, some information. Morgana prepared to sit up while nodding at Judith's words. Hopefully things could go smoothly from here. Hopefully, that would be the end with communicating.
-----------------

Yoki: 8 into healing
Perk: Unnoticed (+5 Presence)

Morgana will put 8 yoki into healing her injury concentrating on specifically the torn ligaments (5 MT)

Morgana will stay healing just a bit longer before finally attempting to stand up by using her claymore as a walking stick and trying not too lean too much on her wounded leg continuing on outside the tavern. Morgana will try to concentrate on her surroundings to "memorize everything" and try to keep Judith within earshot of her steps or within sight. If Morgana were ever to lose sight of her, Morgana will try to ask others if they could point her to the direction of the horse shop by either writing it down if they have a quill or other writing utensil or by pointing to a horse and then a shop if one is in sight.

Once she sees Judith in the horse shop, she start walking normally, hoping that the leg has completely healed. If it is not, she will recline on one of her swords. She will keep following Judith and hide her presence (yoki hiding) once again keeping Judith in her sight or auditory range (physical observation) staying close to object which she could use as shelter or objects that cast big shadows. If Morgana sees or detects (she will try to not use her yoki sensing to improve her hiding but by sensing, I mean something like instinct or other variations) anyone or anything, Morgana will attempt to hide in the shadow of whatever she believes can conceal her. If Morgana is spotted, she will be ready to block any incoming attacks still trying to keep an eye on Judith.

Her wound was healed soon, but maid was already gone. Therefore, Morgana was forced to resort to communication again. Thankfully, it wasn’t hard - streets weren’t devoid of horses, and simple poking was enough for people to understand what Morgana wanted. Although they were quite surprised a claymore was interested in something that was of no use to her, they showed her directions every time Morgana appeared to be in a bind.

As soon as she reached the outskirts of the town and saw the long-awaited horse store, maid showed herself. She was about 20 meters before Morgana. Maid dropped a quick glance at arriving warrior and, showing her back, started walking out of the town. Morgana couldn’t help following her.

Thankfully, she didn’t have to apply any extreme effort to follow maid both closely and secretly at the same time. Not only there was only one straight road with no sideways, but maid was also singing a song about a hedgehog and his friends who are playing under the sun, apparently. Once this song was finished, another one started... maid was on her 10th song, when already dim area became super dark. Apparently, it was a night time - Morgana couldn’t see anything, not even trees or bushes near her. She could only hear the song that she followed... Dirt under her shoes became different - more squishy and... dirty. It seemed they were off main road, since it also became quite narrow. However, song never stopped so Morgana had to follow it...

"Oh, here she is. Worked like magic!"

"Yes, that girl did an awesome job! Boss will be gad to accept her in our ranks!"

Raising from the depth of earth itself, monstrous figures appeared, surrounding Morgana. She couldn’t see them very well, but it was obvious - they were simply gigantic. Five monsters were standing with sadistic, excited expressions. Only the sixth one seemed calm and collected. However, it didn’t mean he was kind - his eyes suggested that he was just as violent as his friends, just much more calculated in his horrendous habits.

"Very well. Hello, little lady. Want a candy? Nah, just kidding. Quickly, tell us where your handler is, or rather, where have you last seen, him. If you do, you will get a reward. See this nice and beautiful spear? That will quickly and painlessly enter your heart if you answer quickly. Should you play a hardass we will have to resort to violence... You see, no matter what you do, you cant run. And we will get this information no matter what we have to do, even if we have to wait... Believe me, we have tools necessary to have anyone speak."

His voice never once suggested he was lying. Surely, it seemed that the moment she tells them where her handler was last seen she will be killed... Morgana looked around - none of Abs looked like a vulnerability in this lineup of monsters. Two of them had gigantic wings, another one had legs of a weird shape that suggested he could run very fast... So what to do now? And... where is the maid?

[Sapphire]

Morgana:

It wasn't too difficult to find Judith it seemed. Once she was in sight, Morgana began to follow her closely in a narrow road that only seemed to lead in one direction. It didn't seem like closely watching her was really a necessity though as Judith began to sing and sing and sing and.. it seemed like an eternity and though Morgana would have preferred a silent long walk, this was not the situation for this and Morgana was quite grateful of having a voice to follow as it soon got dark; it seemed to be night now and the fog did nothing to help the situation.

Soon enough, the entire area felt different; the ground seemed to be dirtier, wetter, bouncy even? It was odd but Morgana proceeded to follow Judith, without any sense but her auditory to rely on, there was not much else to do. Other voices soon were heard and Morgana halted in place. Had she notified them of her position?

Morgana heard the ground almost shift as beings rose from the ground; even in the immense darkness and partial fog, one would be able to notice towers of that proportion. These were in no way these were regular yoma, they were much more than that. Two beings with wings, some creature with oddly shaped legs, it seemed like there were six in all of these immense creatures.

W-what was going on? Had this been a trap for her all along? Was Judith the culprit? Somehow Morgana did not know what to think. With some luck, she could kill one yoma, something greater than a miracle would need to happen if she were to get out of this situation. She was sure to be crushed to mush in mere seconds, why not give up then and there?

There was a way out it seemed, if she could only tell them where her handler was or even where she last saw him, it'd all be over and she could bring her end sooner rather than after being beaten into the ground gradually until she'd be turned into fertilizer. It was as simple as opening her mouth and... and not having any words come out... It was almost as if the situation couldn't have been more ironic... almost as if the situation had been for her... like the handler had said... was it all part of the Organization's plans all along? To have someone that didn't speak specifically sent to a group of monsters who wanted information was plain cruel. It though was her job and if they had sent her to suffer, she would not go down without a fight.
---------------------------

Yoki: 13 (6 Movement, 3 Intelligence, 4 Attack Speed)
Perks: Stretching Bones

Morgana will take out her swords and run forward towards a ground awakened being that seems fairly slow feinting to go for a closed range attack but really taking aim and going for a mid ranged attack, throwing her sword at said yoma aiming to land it in between the awakened being's gut. She will keep running toward the awakened being and try to retrieve her sword then proceed to dodge any attacks directed at her and strike the projectiles down if they are part of an awakened being. If they are detached from the awaken being and would not hurt the creature, Morgana will block.

If her sword is taken away, she will kick, claw and bite anything she can. If the awakened being she hit, is injured, she will try to aim all her attacks at it. If an awakened being tries to capture her and she still has one sword, she will slash at the awakened being furiously, if she has both, she will use one to slash while the other blocks any incoming attacks.

[Reinard-fox]

Morgana didn’t answer with words, because she, obviously, couldn’t. Instead she decided to answer with actions. Her skin distorted as she bolted towards the slow-looking awakened being... The next thing she felt was dirt, a lot of dirt everywhere. A metallic sound of a chain rubbing against steel pipe suggested that some sort of weapon was being returned to its original place. What was it that attack her?

Actually, it didn’t matter. What mattered, is that she was defeated before her attack even began. Quickly examining her own body, Morgana found that nothing was cut. Instead, bones in her left leg were all broken... it seems, awakened beings wanted to avoid cutting her. Perhaps they refrained from spilling her blood so that she doesn’t die from bleeding...? That’s right, even boss-looking awakened being told her she will only be killed after giving them information they need. Maybe... maybe that is the answer?

Awakened beings around Morgana was silent... Only calm, collected voice dominated the land.

"I told you its useless. You cant break away from here, we wont let you run from us. Come on, tell us where you saw your handler last time, and your death shall be quick and easy. If you wish to prolong your life, only pain awaits you. And in the end, same very finish, just a loooooger one. So, make a choice now! Speak your mind!"

Morgana:

Before her attack even began, it was over. Her legs seemed to be held in place by more dirt as she got attacked by an unseen weapon. She groaned in response to what seemed to be a metallic weapon as the bones in her left leg were as easily shattered as if they had been made of glass. They seemed to be avoiding cutting her and if it was purposely, it would prove to be just the right way to tick them off.
--------------

Yoki: 24 (20 Dexterity 4 Strength)
Perk: Stretching Bones

Morgana will put as much focus into at least injuring what seems like the easiest target with a ranged attack by throwing one of her claymores at her target (12 Multitasking into concentrating on the target). If she can't confirm which one would be the easiest to hit , she will aim towards the calm and collected leader. This time though, once she feels (physical observation i.e. hearing) like another attack from behind her will approach (or even if they decide to change direction), she will try to time it so that she can dodge the attack by moving her body but if the "dirt" stops her movements, she will attempt to take hold of it by reaching her arms around her and timing it correctly.

[Reinard-fox]

This time, Morgana formed a much better plan for battle. However, opponents were still too strong. She threw her sword towards a gang boss, and, immediately hearing the familiar metallic sound from behind, tried to move her body... Yet, it was again futile. Neither her movement to dodge, neither her hand came in time. Both were too late.

Second leg got crushed, crumbling her hope for successful escape. When she turned around to see whether her sword did hit, another devastating strike hit her resolve: huge awakened being was simply holding it in hands, as if it was never thrown at him with an intent to kill.

"It was very nice of you to give me your weapon, but now its all over!"

With a rapid nonchalant movement of his hand he threw the sword somewhere to the left. From bulping sound it seemed like it landed into the water. Boos didn’t care though. He assumed his human form, which was still rather tall, and approached Morgana. Probably intending to intimidate her, or perhaps wishing to see her expression better, he bended down, plaing his face right before Morganas.

"I’m starting to suspect that you do not possess the information we want... Tell me quickly, do you know anything about your handlers whereabouts! We need that man, and we need him badly. No matter what, we will extract this information from you!"

Morgana:

Morgana threw her weapon and prepared for the strike but to no avail as it once again crushed her leg. It wasn't as if she could have escaped before so nothing had changed other than the incredible pain. She lay on the ground now, the pain far too great to even recline on her legs; the moist dirt in her face as she used her lifted herself to carry her body on her elbows. Once she finally turned to see if her attack had done anything, she saw the awakened being simply holding it as if it were a feather that had floated in front of his face; he then simply threw it in what seemed to be water.

The pain in her legs once again began to kick in as she looked down once more to check for any signs of extra damage and to see just how far she would be able to push herself. Once again, she looked up to see the filthy leader turn himself into his human form and approach her, his disgusting face inching closer to hers.

Morgana's face went from in-pain to disgusted as the sadistic being gradually got closer, she tried to inch away from him but being on the ground and having little to no mobility did not help in the task. As he spoke, his breath pushed itself onto her face, the temperature of the night only making it more noticeable. Morgana couldn't help but get angrier and angrier, she opened her mouth to insult him but quickly closed it once more realizing how futile it would be to even try. The struggle was not over until she was dead though and she would continue fighting.
------------------------------

Yoki: 36 (15 Durability, 9 Attack Speed, 6 Dexterity, 6 Agility)
Perks: Stretching Bones

Morgana will attempt to slash the creature with her remaining sword boosting her attack speed, dexterity and agility as quickly as possible to surprise the awakened being aiming to cut his head off or alternatively, where his chest would be if he were to try to move his head (I'm guessing it would be in the same area since he must be bending down to look at her so closely, I just . She would attempt to make it a quick and precise attack. If he does move out of the way, Morgana will throw that sword at him as well keeping the boosts from the past attack to reinforce it.

If he or anyone attempts to hurt her, she will spike her durability up and if possible, dodge it as best possible by rolling to the side or if she still has her sword, block it. If it the same metal-like attack comes near her hands and Morgana still has her sword, she will attempt to grab it and be pulled back with it driving her sword to whatever source that it is coming from. If the awakened being gets closer to her again, she will spit at its face simply as a response to whatever it might say.

[Reinard-fox]

Keeping in line with her earlier behaviour, Morgana kept up the manly way of answering with actions rather then with words. Using awkward and completely uncool position bossy awakened being decided to take, Morgana tried to hit him with a sword swing. Her shining eyes alarmed the monster, and her distorted face made him furious. Despite the yoki boost, awakened being was still way above Morganas level - he blocked her sword in time... and, having his balance broken, fell into dirt.

"FU-"

With a quick yet somehow clumsy jump, bossy monster got up quickly, his face red with all blood ferocity brought up to it. Breathing heavily, he started transforming his arm, forming a blade out of it... Suddenly it stopped. He closed his eyes and just stood there for a second... He was calming down. His face was no longer red, going back to calm expression from before. It seemed like he maintaining his cool image in eyes of subordinates was more important then getting revenge on Morgana right away. He smirked sarcastically and threw second blade into somewhere... now both of Morganas blades were lost. His face got close to her again...

"See, now you are compl-"

His face was quickly becoming red again... with a d isgusted expression, he wiped saliva from his eyes.

"Fine you bitch, you have done it! If you don’t want to die peacefully, you will die in pain!"

He turned away and started walking away. Something approached Morgana from behind, and darkness befell upon her...

...it was quite dark here. Only few torches were lighting up the room.

"Came back, heh! Welcome. In this room, you will face pain... and death, as you beg for it!"

Indeed, this was a torture room. Various tools were spread around, all of them dirty with blood. Apparently, it was too much of a bother to wipe it off tools in-between torture sessions, so nobody bothered to do it. Somebody lighted more torches - and now Morgana could see the room better. To the left of her, a pair of Spanish boots were placed. In the center, a weird machine was placed - it consisted of a pair of wheels, that stood parallel to each other, connected with a axis, making it look like a pair of wheels from a cart. However, center of wheels had holes in it, with leather ropes hanging near. To the right, another machine that looked like a table with nails stuck in it was placed, paired with just one wheel.

"Look here, these three simple machines will be good for a start. You can pick one to start with. Chose quickly and wisely - one of them will kill you too quickly, one will prolong your struggle for too long. See how grateful I am? But, I lack time to wait you’re your choice. My supper is still alive and struggling, waiting in the room near. Gotta relieve it of its burden that is life, you know. Gotta have mercy to poor humans. So, until you make a choice, I will simply and brutally hit you."

Perhaps to demonstrate, he punched Morgana in the chest. God, was he strong...

One hit takes away 5 HP. Choose quickly or you will just die from torture for no reason and with no benefit... When making a choice, think about what will help with your TM.

Morgana:

It was dark... Where did the light reside? Was it hidden away? Had it never been there? No, it was there. Dimly lit, it resided but it was never within grasp.

Morgana opened her eyes. Where was she? It seemed like she had been in a bad dream, her face felt red, her body ached, her heart pounded heavily, yearning to get out and free itself from its confines. It took some time for her vision to adjust. There were some torches that dimly lit the room. A rush of cold swept into her as she realized she had been laying in the ground. Trying to stand up, she felt a large sweep of pain. What had happened?

She looked up to see a tall man who looked familiar, she swore he had been in her dre... In a flash, all of her memories come back to her, the pain, the struggle, the urge to fight. Morgana's eyes widened then as she looked into the eyes of the monster in front of her. She tried to crawl backwards and away once again felling that sharp pain from her.

There were various machines in this room and more torches filled up the room. Clearly, it was a torture room and it was clear what would happen next, pain. It didn't matter what contraption would be the one to deliver it, it was inevitable in this situation. It was time to braven up.
------------------------

Yoki: 27(into healing)

Morgana will begin healing as much as she can concentrating on her legs/leg bones as she slides and drags her body across the floor and towards the middle contraption. If the monster tries to help her, she will try to push them away lightly (not wanting to put effort into them) and try to lift herself into the contraption on her own. She will try not to put effort into her legs unless they feel strong enough to.

Morgana didn’t need a second invitation. Inspite of her legs hurting, she started crawling towards the middle machine, clearly showing her choice to the crowd. Boss smiled approvingly and lifted her with ease, completely ignoring her soft attempts to deny help. She was placed in the middle of the machine between two wheel. Her hand, now parallel to the floor, were tightly wrapped with leather ropes that were tied down to the edges of the wheels. Bossy awakened being smiled as he stood several meters before Morgana.

"I’m glad you decided to heal yourself. This way, we will be able to have so much more fun without you dying. Now, we will begin the procedure. Endure it as best as you can and when you feel like stopping - just tell us what we want to know. You will be relieved of your burden immediately..."

He made a signal, and two awakened beings, who were staying near the wheels, started slowly rotating them into opposite directions, making Morganas hands twist unnaturally... Slowly but surely, pain was becoming harder and harder to bear...

Your next post is very important, I expect something around 1-1,5 k words long. It should describe how Morgana manages to withstand the pain and adapt her body to what is happening to her. If post is good enough, this first phase of skill training will be over with just it. If not, you will have two more posts until Morganas RES runs out... Have fun~
