    Ahhh sorry! I figured someone would just carry me off or something then I'd post some sort of miraculous recovery. Right! Time for me to have a read!

    Nicely done. I won't reply because I was the last but one, I better wait for someone else first.

    Sorry to bother everyone. I just wanted to ask Erik when he was going to get back to me about my CS. I mean, it's been two weeks. I mean, if you don't want me in, that's fine, but do at least give a decision in a timely manner for the sake of politeness so then you don't have someone waiting on a decision for that long and wasting time checking back here every now and again when the answer is "No".

    Would you mind editing that part out? I'm working on a post that will get her there.

    @Skye Walker
    @Silent Lion
    While I'm at it, I suppose I should also ask if Andreas and Nyx need help? I don't know if he can run, in his injured state. I planned to have Samara carry him or cover their retreat, but I want to know if that's okay with you guys before I barge in on this tender moment you're having. :p

    @mmarage Well, it would be kind of hard to explain why your character is THIS late and how they would get past the Army and into the OK on their own. You're right, I should've replied sooner, but it is kind of too late to jump and say you just slept in too long. :/

    That's fine with me. We've got to end up through The Wall anyway by the looks of it (and about time, Bravo!)

    Well I think that an explanation could be created as to how he could get through quite simply, but if that is your final decision I shall respect it. Please have fun everyone.

    Yeah, Nyx is strong for a girl her size but there's no way she'll be able to drag Andreas through the gate without injuring him more... @AnonyMouse I'm sure Nyx and Andreas would appreciate Samara's help :D

    Sorry about the triple post, but I wanted to give a reason for my not posting for the past few days. We've been on a school trip (vacation, really, but details). We've been getting up to do stuff at like 7 AM and we've been returning to the hotel at 11 PM. So... I've had about zero free time. We're going home tomorrow but I'm probably going to be suuper tired so I may not be able to post until Tuesday or Wednesday.

    If you guys want to move the story along, though, feel free to use Nyx for dialogue or whatever. I know that all of you are pretty good writers, so I don't doubt that you'll write her well. If you do decide to use her, her clothes will probably be something like black leather pants and a black leather jacket, some soft boots, or something in that general area. :p

    See you... later, I guess? :p

    @Skye Walker Hope you had fun! Actually, I've just got back from a short break away tonight, so that's why I haven't posted either.

    WOW it's been a busy week

    and tomorrow's just going to get busier. sigh now I have to catch up lmao I'll figure it out

    Edit: I was inspired. Sorry, didn't edit again. But I'm excited about how all this is turning out. :D

    Not sure yet if Nyx is jealous or concerned. Personally, I'd probably be jealous seeing as [cough]we're pretty much the same age[/cough] but we don't talk about that. :brb:

    Time for an upgrade, guys. Post your new spells here that your characters just learned. Here is Alex's:

    Phantom Flight - This spell allows Alex to float and glide like a phantom for short periods of time.

    Been waiting for this. (Yes, I have a reason for Samara refusing the training.) :D

    Excalibur:
    Summons an "echo" of the legendary sword, said to have been used to slay the Arch-Witch Morgan le Fay. Samara secretly learned this spell years ago, from one of her father's forbidden books, but has never successfully completed the summoning. She can sometimes open the gate, but always fails to pull the sword out. The 'real' Excalibur was lost or destroyed centuries ago, but left its mark on the world, allowing experienced mages to summon fragments of its essence in times of need. It will only appear to those who are worthy.

    Excalibur is a phantom sword. It does not deal physical wounds and will harmlessly pass through flesh, stone, metal, etc, but slices magic barriers and can deflect or devour spells. Excalibur's attacks deal crippling magic damage to mages, making it increasingly difficult for them to channel power. It can be impaled into a mage, rendering their magic completely inert and can even kill them if not removed. Even Samara cannot wield it without her armor or at least its gauntlets.

    Cool spell. That'll definitely come in handy. And I trusted that you had a reason, I just didn't know what it was, lol.

    Joe's was going to be this even before we met Sulla, but now perhaps I can have them ask her for help with it?

    Healing Hands
    A soft white light emanates from Joe's hands and slowly heals any wounds they come in contact with. The process is slow and can take over an hour for serious injuries. It requires constant concentration on Joe's part, so they can't do anything else while they're working. They can heal themselves, but it takes twice as long. The light automatically kills infection and prevents someone from getting any worse while they're being healed. Joe can function as life support for someone dying so long as they maintain constant contact. If someone has just died, say within a few minutes, Joe has a chance of bringing them back, but success depends on the strength and will of the person. Regardless of success, after sustaining someone or attempting to bring them back Joe will fall unconscious.

    Does that sound alright? I knew Joe would want a healing spell but I didn't want to make a game-breaker.

    Hey... I wanted Drake to have that floating spell. What with all the walking he's not used to.
    Anyway, new spell
    Fantom Fridge- Basically, Drake created a pocket dimention of cold, where he can store food, drink and the like. From the outside it appears as if his arm simply disappears, as he reaches inside. The Fridge follows Drake wherever he goes, or teleports, always withing arm's reach. What Drake needs to do is think what he wants really hard, and his hand closes around the object in question, summoned from god knows where. If his concentration wavers for even a second, he will get something different. The only way he will get for sure what he wants is if he stored needed object there to begin with. The fridge has some santience as well.

    Sounds good, Lone Vista.

    I like the Fantom Fridge too. I would take yogurt with me everywhere.

    I didn't post earlier because I had no clue what new spell I should give Nyx, but I finally figured it out. Ish.

    Energize: This spell allows Nyx to absorb energy from other living things, like plants, animals, even people if she wanted, though I doubt she'll do that any time soon. However, if she absorbs too much in too short a time, she'll pass out, waking up with a severe headache. This particular spell has a dual nature, allowing her to expel energy and imbue people or other living things with it. This isn't the same as healing, though. The effect is more like... injecting yourself with caffeine. College students would love it. Expelling energy can take quite a toll on Nyx, as she's giving away her personal reserves, not whatever she's collected from the environment.

    This was sorta hastily put together, so I apologize if there are any random leaps in logic or anything. Tell me if I need to fix something. :p

    I had a hard time picking something too. I knew it was coming but I've been putting it off! I've pondered everything from Sweaty Palms to The Behemoth.

    Levity
    Causes people to stop taking things seriously, and feel as though everything's a light hearted joke and no big deal. The stronger someone feels about something, the harder the spell has to work to counter it. It works by inflicting the opposite on Andreas, who ends up feeling that whatever-it-was is a deep and serious issue.

    Took me a sec to think of one, too. :p

    Silver Staff - Trisana can conjure the Silver Staff with this spell that can concentrate light through the crystal on top. The lightbeams from the staff are three times hotter than her Shiny Sword and can burn through almost anything, given enough time. The staff does not work in dark places, as it needs light to function.

    So, does anyone think theur character is strong enough to take the werewolf leader out? If yes you can just cut in to Drake talking to Ms Wintersmith and tell him they want to go instead.
