"I'm someone, I suppose."

Well, that's a clear non-answer, and going from Grimm's little smile, it looks like he wouldn't be revealing much of anything regarding his nature soon.

"I'm not from here, at the very least. I would personally put myself on a similar situation to my blue-haired companion."


The bluenette blinks, but he soon shakes his head, glancing at the bird nearby (still happily seated where it is).

"...No, not really. If anything, I'm a bit annoyed that my companion has just up and vanished ever since his birds detected a presence."

He spares the teenage girl a glance, looking into the distance afterwards. Despite looking like he has lowered his guard, his posture indicates that he's still just as alert and prepared to whip out his blade.

"That one is probably not you, however; otherwise, he would be here, already conversing with you long before my arrival."

   I see...    she nods, thinking about it.    Perhaps I could...   

Unexpectedly, she snaps open her eyes, revealing a pair of infinite(?) blue spirals trailing off into a distance far longer than there should be within the physical dimensions of her head, and the air around her begins filling with additional shards and line-segments, as blue grid-lines start creeping over nearby surfaces, though not quite reaching the swordsman. Using her hands, she seemingly guides the shards like a liquid-esque flow, as they begin to fall together into the pattern of some kind of a high-tech device, resting on the altered ground... a sensor array, by the looks of things?

"..."

From the look of it, Nero is somewhat displeased at the non-answer. He rolls his eyes sarcastically at Grimm, tutting quietly as one would if they found out their child was misbehaving or some such other happening.

"Yes, of course you're someone. How incredibly helpful. Next you'll say you're something, won't you."

He'd probably be sarcasticing further, but the mention of a blue-haired companion has his attention. He remembers what he saw just earlier, thinking for a moment...

"Blue-haired companion. There's two people with blue hair nearby, so which one would that be, then?"

The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.

"...What are you doing, and what is that?"

The blue-haired man can't quite help but quirk an eyebrow at whatever the girl is doing, eyeing the sensor array with increasing interest, looking at it and pulling out what appears to be a thick journal separated into multiple sections, already writing down what he's seeing, pupils narrowed.


"Well, if it helps to identify him, he has a brown coat on, and I know where he is."

Grimm briefly gestures to the bird on his shoulder to indicate something, glancing at Nero for a moment and holding out his hand.

"Are you coming?"

Should Nero take it, he would find the world flickering around him for a tenth of a second, then he would appear on a roof just next to where the two blue-haired people are present, with Grimm following soon afterwards.

   It's an ability that's partially unique to me, and partially related to my kind.    she says, typing away at a keyboard and monitor which have just taken shape on the unusual (and admittedly rather visually discordant) device. Depending on the other's level of expertise, they may be able to identify it as a mishmash of various technological sensor devices - radars, signal-detectors, sonars, thermal sensors... or rather, blue 3-d wireframes thereof. And yet, somehow, they appear to be fully functional. Despite many of them also still only being partially formed.    I'm trying to find...   

...and then the others appear just next to them.    ...well then. That solves that.    She swipes a hand across the construct's screen, blanking it, although she doesn't dismiss or alter the construct itself as of yet.

"...That one. Hm."

Nero seems distracted for a moment, recalling the image of the two people he saw earlier, and is distracted enough to not question being offered a hand. He reaches out to take hold of Grimm's offered hand, blinking in surprise at the resulting teleportation over to the other roof and other people, momentarily checking to make sure neither of them are a potential hazard. He seems comfortable enough once he's checked them both...

"Strange. Over here now, hmm?"

Frontier Village

Thranix nodded to Geralt, and went along with Chris.

"'Our size'? What do you mean?"

He was not always the most... observant dragonborn when out of combat.


Vs. Angus and Xeno'Jiiva

Omega internally agreed that this was not good, but at least Xeno was down for the count.

Grabbing Omega's icy staff, which had been lodged in the ground since the two had fused, EX-Dylan flourished it once, and rushed into try and get some of those sweet, sweet part breaks. The blade manifested, granting it, in Monster Hunter terms, slashing damage, crossed with a hefty dosage of Ice. He charged a bolt of necrotic energy in his off hand, and slammed his hand into the staff. Omega had suspected that he might be able to imbue melee weapons with a charge of this power via his Stand, but he honestly wasn't sure. Not that now was a great time to test, but hey, if it worked, it worked.

He went for a great big x-cross slash on Xeno's head, flourishing at the end so that he could keep momentum or stop there if it seemed like he should back off.

Kishar seemed to snap out of her haze, and then, in a much more calm and collected voice, said, "Ah... He's been knocked out. I'll... I'll just sit back here then."

Iraaxos did what he could to stabilize his breathing, given the immense pain of his freshly-melted flesh. The charge in the air intensified, and great bolts of lightning arced and danced overhead. The other fighters would clearly be able to tell that something was coming, which they did not wanted to be standing in the way of. The crimson draconid raised a clawed hand skyward, in a gesture of supplication, and spoke... not exactly loudly, but strongly.

   "GODS OF OLD! MY ANCESTORS! I CALL UPON YOU NOW, IN THIS HOUR — GRANT ME YOUR STRENGTH, THAT I MAY DEFEAT ALL WHO WOULD OPPOSE ME!"   

The charge was building to a head now, pooling near his hands and wrists.

SI Gang

EX Dylan fired a blast of lightning in the center of the X, planning to put as much damage in that spot as possible.

EX Dylan: "Eat some!"


The Warrior charged it's tail with energy, but instead of firing it, turned it into a pointy end and attempted to stab Xeno with the tail.

"Whoa!" Rey tumbles off of Xeno'jiiva just in time to avoid being grazed by the Warrior's tail.

Kars begins regenerating, absorbing his bone blades back into himself.

Xeno'jiiva gets back up, its insides now glowing orange, and releases an explosion of heat with an echoing version of its signature roar. It's in rage mode now... It's also slagged thanks to the tail strike.

Rey gets completely floored by his proximity to the burst. Sweat just instantly drenches him. His clothes begin to release smoke. Clearly, this is not something normal humans were meant to be near.


Sky Haven Temple

"A sound plan," Awkeff comments. She pulls out a Horker Loaf and bites off a solid chunk of it.

Sky Haven Temple

Smiling slightly at Awkeff's compliment, Viserys tears a chunk out of the Venison Chop with his teeth before continuing.

"As for who I was thinking of enlisting, there's one person who fought against Galeem's final minion that comes to mind. Specifically, the seemingly haggard-looking man who could easily pass as a Nord."

He takes another bite of meat.

"Why him, of all people, you might ask? Not only was he far stronger and more durable than his appearance would suggest, but his ability to recover from even the most fatal of injuries just might be what we need to counter Farandare's power. Hopefully, either gold or the promise of a good fight will be enough to earn his aid."

Awkeff ponders her companion's words.

"Well, that sounds reasonable enough. I don't see why not. And, well, I have shares of the Thieves Guild coffers if gold is what he wants..."

"Perfect. I'll seek this man out and, provided he's open to a bargain, our little raiding party will have gained a powerful ally against Farandare and her sycophant."

Viserys finishes his Venison Chop, takes out two bottles of mead, and offers one to Awkeff.

"Speaking of which, that leads us to the next matter I wanted to discuss; rest assured, Fahliil Fahdon, we're almost through them all. Anyway, we're going to need a proper strategy when it comes time for our trip to Castle Volkihar."

Awkeff takes the offered mead. "I'm not bothered, Bron Fahdon."

After a quick swig, she says, "I advise a couple of Lucina's Shepherds attack Ridley and divert him away from the main battle with Farandare. You may also want to use your Wyvernrend shout to ground him for their benefit. The rest of us can focus on Farandare, and whichever group finishes their fight first can join up with the other."

"In other words, divide and conquer."

A bemused grin spreads across Viserys' face, and the Nord Dovahkiin lets out a hearty chuckle before taking a sip of his mead.

"Believe it or not, Awkeff, I was just about to suggest that exact same plan!"

After downing the remainder of his mead in one gulp, Viserys smiles at Awkeff before putting an arm around her.

"Heh, I suppose it's true what they say, about how great minds think alike!"

"Well then... I suppose this brings us to the final, more... personal subject I've been meaning to discuss with you."

Inwardly, Viserys prayed to the Nine Divines and even a few of the less malicious Daedric Princes that Awkeff knew what he was getting at.

Takumi is walking out into the great wilderness of Skyrim, with Cynthia and Oboro trailing him.

Wow, so you're a little sibling too ?

I prefer "younger" sibling. Little sibling sounds like baby-talk.

Hahaha, it's funny ! Anyway, so, how's Hoshido ?

It is the best country on our continent. says Oboro. Its soil is green and teeming with life, its culture is advanced, its army is powerful, and our royals are wise and strong.

Skyrim Wilderness

Madoka would be following the group coming from the shepards base, running along behind them. She'd begin talking as soon as she arrives with the group. "Hoshido? What's Hoshido?"

Skyrim

Near where the Madoka and the Shepards are, the ground begins to shake. The breeze slows, creating a stillness in the air. A purple, almost angel-like being appears before the group in a flash of light, floating on an ever-revolving set of wings.

He stares down at the group and grins, eyeing each individual with interest.

Viserys takes a deep breath, then clears his throat. Like Awkeff, the Nord Dovahkiin hoped that he wouldn't screw this up beyond all possible recognition.

"I'll get right to the point, Awkeff. I've... come to see you as more than simply a friend."
