For Saori

[getting_better]

[ The frosty air turned the clear heat of his breath to a ghostly white as he went over the light supplies he packed, ready to head to the forest. He’d taken a morbid curiosity in the forest and their so-called Death Trees, specifically the poisonous fruits which they bore, but more than slightly nefarious intentions with deadly fruit juice the leylines were something he’d like the chance to study.

He knew a little bit about them and now that he had a better grasp of magic in this world, the chances of gleaming more useful information from them seems more likely. Not to mention that he has Saori in his corner now which would make the trek easier for him. He wasn’t sure of her combat abilities and doing this quest together seemed like a good way to test that and lay some of his worries to rest.

Also being paid to do all of that wasn’t bad either.

A quick exchange of messages and the plan was set, meet up bright an early by north gate, make the trek to the designated areas, fill the leylines, beat up some shades, get paid, and be back home before supper. What could go wrong?

He probably just jinxed it. ]

for Hakuno

[getting_better]

[ It had been some time since that horrid time with the mirrors and Bishop had gotten a taste of one of Hakuno’s memories. It was horrible, terrifying, godless, and generally he had a very unhappy time, which he thinks is appropriate punishment for peeking at the memory in the first place but the whole experience has left him with a touch of sadness.

Sadness that Hakuno had to go through and experience like that and also because he broke one of his creeds even if accidentally.

Fortunately, he knows just how to remedy that situation and do good on his promise and all it’ll take is a few minutes, some patience, careful instruction, demonstration, a few ingredients, and some elbow grease. ]

Hakuno, it’s Bishop! [ He says while knocking on the door to her place. ] May I come in?

for Gilgamesh

[getting_better]

[ The outpost around Dorchacht were progressing well. The builders put up one cabin after the other, the defenders were getting more and more proficient with each attack, and the scouting team were expanding the scope of their view and a lot more accurate with the information they bring up.

He was on the scouting team most of the time given his specialty, but he was also defending when needed, casting wards, and helping with construction when he wasn't resting. He was earning his keep from the quest and followed orders down to the letter when he was out of his element, but he was oddly reserved. He was sociable enough but he avoided contact and speaking with anyone outside of idle work chatter and small talk, to add to that, he seemed to just spend his rest time watching everything with a scowl and knit brows. ]

For Iryha

[getting_better]

Seeing the city in high spirits was always pleasant to see although the nature of the holiday was a bit lost on him this time around. While the color of the sky was nice at first Bishop quickly lost interest in it as he went about his business of grocery shopping, laundry, and visiting at least one bar and having two beers.

Another reason for his...hesitation to take part in the event lay with it's nature. What he thought was an off date Valentines quickly became a little more rique when he happened upon the open displays of the brothels, some a bit more eye catching than others, the proactive endeavors some citizens to pair folks up, and the almost palpable affection in the air had him set with a bit of melancholy and a strong desire to drink the day away. Alone. Sitting in the dark corner of a bar.

The plan was quickly derailed however by some very convincing(forceful) city dwellers that managed to shuffle(shove) him onto one of the boats. "Just cause they're bigger than me..." He grumbled while dusting himself and straightening the collar of his coat then the lapels. "If I had my powers they'd be sorry..." He's not happy about being manhandled the way he was.

Regardless, no harm was done and he's a good sport. He'll play along with the local holiday and play along as he waited on the boat for the person to be unluckily paired with him. Trapped alone on a boat with Bishop, that's cruel and unusual punishment.
