The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Emma's hand falls back to her side, still crackling with lightning. "Sorry, but also not. I needed to release the power the emotions were generating. All the lightning did was arc into the sky." Emma stalks away, choosing to sit in the middle of the group of sleeping people, lightning still sparking across her palms. @InfiniteInsanity @Aes Sedai Edited December 21, 2022 by The Wandering Wizard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medium he/they Posted December 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Dreamscape: Sixth Archive Pathway Calano looked at Bookwyrm, who had stopped, his sphere of Nightfire glowing softly. He looked around, and his thoughts turned to his wife. As his thoughts turned there, the stairwell seemed to darken further than it was before. Panic spiked through him, but only for a second. "This stairwell messes with people, I think." He said. @The Bookwyrm @Shadowed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edema Rue she/her Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Rue nods, taking a breath to calm herself. She shouldn’t have gotten so emotional. It was a mistake she needed to stop making. “Right,” she said, trying to calm the mood. “How long will they take?” @The Wandering Wizard @InfiniteInsanity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at Rue she said "I don't know when they'll be done." Insa looked at the sleeping people. Her gaze settled on Bookwyrm and a fresh bout of confusion washed over her. Why did I recognize him? I don't remember him. Not anything before the clinic. "But I hope its soon. I have some questions to ask someone." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantly moving the staff, always responding to the lightest stimulus. He fights with the very air, fighting against the friction, moving, always moving. Until it clicks and he moves even faster, a aura of vapor seems to surround him as he moves. Never stopping, never quiting, a constant stream of pressure. And then he stops.

Quote That's fine, I've been busy and probably couldn't have responded until about now anyway. The realm of the Tiger "Do I need to use a staff for this or is it just what you chose to do?" He lets his Blade disappear and begins moving without the weapon to focus on. Instead of fighting the air like Wizard, he seems to flow with it. The air seems to move out of his way as he dances through the space, summoning his Blade in the process. He begins to slip through the realm, an air of peace in his eyes as he moves through everything in his way. No aura of vapor forms, but the air starts flowing alongside him, propelling him and pushing him beyond what he can normally do. He ends with a spin and slashes through an imaginary foe before looking up. "How did I do? Was that it?" Platypus asks Wizard, breathing hard. @The Wandering Wizard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Quote I was using fighting the air as a description of the fact that he was moving at normal speed until he broke it And FYI I was have Wizard respond before Platypus started and then he is watching as Platypus moves through it. Not God moding your character, just reacting in time with Platypus's movements and actions. The realm of the Tiger "The quarterstaff is my weapon of choice for this form, though any weapon that helps you keep on flowing through the movements is good." Wizard appraises Platypus as he moves through the movements.

Wizard appraises Platypus as he moves through the movements. "Good, you did very good for your first time doing it!" @Being of Cacophony Quote fair enough. That's kind of what I was planning on, I just forgot to tell you that The realm of the Tiger "Thank you, I feel like that one will be the easiest for me, I'm semi-aquatic so I'm kind of used to this. The others I won't perform as well, I feel." Platypus allows his Blade to change into a shortsword instead of his usual lengthy sword and begins the routine again. This time, however, he is fighting the air. He moves as though he is surrounded by enemies devoted to killing him, swiping, lunging, and rolling away. His sword morphs into a short dagger as water vapor collects around him into humanoid shapes that he fights all while dancing around them. He speeds up as he moves around the warriors. His dagger changes into his typical Blade as he deals death blows to the water figures. The blade dissolves and collects back into a staff as he dodges a fist, then he blocks two swords on his staff and moves on, hitting the figures as he moves. His staff reconfigures into a crushing mace as he charges into the midst of them, smashing and defeating. He slows down slightly at the heavier weapon, but as the vapor figures lessen, his mace returns to it's normal Blade form and he speeds up to a blur to almost anyone's eyes (maybe Wizard can see him, I don't know how good his eyesight is and I don't want to God mod), then he parries a thrust, swipes his sword in a circle, then disarms the last of the shapes and it dissolves into a puddle. Platypus' eyes refocus and he realizes that he accidentally covered both him and Wizard in water. "Oops. I guess that's what happens when you fight a bunch of water warriors. That felt... invigorating. Like there was nothing that could stop me. Like I was coming awake for the first time in my entire life. I still feel awake, but I'm slipping back to what I've been for the rest of my life. I guess drowsy is the best word. Slow, unthinking. It almost felt like I was moving fast enough that I could've hit you. I probably couldn't have, but it felt like I could." Platypus says. @The Wandering Wizard Edited December 23, 2022 by Being of Cacophony 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She missed. Insa ran and grabbed the arrow and made her way back to Nameless and Rue. "Calano's in a dreamscape. Who knows how long until they're back." Turning to Rue.
