[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of November and December.

You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. WE ARE BIG ON THREAD-JACKING HERE. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt.]

It wasn't his sword.

[He holds up one hand, drawing it lengthwise across his face.]

When he was in battle, another person caught him across the mouth and he survived.
immuno: (a player.)

I take it your world wasn't one with clerics.

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2015-03-28 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
No. Not a lot of modern medicine either. There was magic though, when you could find it.

[but a lot of it was few and far between and rather uncontrollable.]

Most of it was held by the gods.
immuno: (into a young girl.)

[personal profile] immuno 2015-03-28 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds about right. A great deal of the magic in this world is a gift from the gods, anyway. There's nothing to confirm that it's what sorcerers and wizards draw on, admittedly, but given that even they lose their magic when the Veil closes, it's a safe bet, given where the gods are stationed, so to speak.

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2015-03-28 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods.]

I wasn't in Faerun, though. My gods were of the traditional Greek-Norse-Aztec variety. And they ... pretty much sucked. I spent a lot of my time there cleaning up their messes.
immuno: (rule number two.)

[personal profile] immuno 2015-03-30 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that would hold with the mythology.

[ Said to the tune of "I don't know what you expected." Girl's well-read, ok, she knows what fuck-ups Zeus and Odin are. ]

Although, I thought in the case of the Norse, they generally had Loki clean up their messes for them? The Aztecs mostly just tried human sacrifice and hoped for the best.

[He snorts.]

Loki was the worst of them. He kidnapped a handful of sixteen year-old kids from their old universe to facilitate his own escape plan into our world, all the while promising it to the new threat to the gods. Meanwhile, on other hand, the rest of the pantheons spent their time arguing about who's fault it was that it was happening in the first place instead of working together and mobilizing to stop it.

Between the sniveling cowards and egos too big to actually see the big picture, it's no wonder they were going extinct.

[Never mind the inbreeding, the lack of technology, the way they were just letting people waste away and drown in their barbaric lifestyles for no other reason than they felt that advancement would lose them their new paradise just as it did the Old World.]
immuno: (one will breed love.)

Why would an all-powerful deity need a bunch of teenagers to get to another world? [ Focusing on the important facts here. ]
generaldavideus: (Default)

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2015-04-13 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
He didn't. He just needed one of us, and we all got caught in the aftermath.

[He pauses because this was the part that was hard to explain.]

One of us was something called a gateway witch. She had the power to open portals between worlds. Loki needed her to open a portal for him to escape through, so he sent his son, Fenrir to get her. He borrowed magic from someone more powerful than him to do it, but since the process wasn't a clean one, she was able to draw people there with her and give herself ... a distraction.

She slipped away while Loki was figuring out what to do with us.
immuno: (life gave me lemons.)

[personal profile] immuno 2015-04-16 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Portals between worlds?

[ No wonder Loki wanted her. Any suggestion of the possibility for inter-planar travel, at least away from a magic-less world to one with magic, is nigh unheard of. Here, it's the kind of thing people kill for, go to war for. ]

Is she safe? Is she here?
generaldavideus: ([david] giving up)

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2015-04-16 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
She's dead.

[It's stated bluntly and too the point, because he doesn't like lingering on memories of her any longer than he has to.]

She was just as much of a threat and a megalomaniac as they are. In the Old World, where there's no magic, she barely had any power or influence. Once she got to Everworld again, she was nearly a god in her own right and she thought that she had what it took to challenge them. She used her abilities to bring in people with machine guns and just ... mowed through peaceful settlements of people without a second thought.

[She manipulated their minds, their hearts - he remembers those parts of Senna clearly, even if he doesn't remember her name.]

One of us couldn't stand by and let her hurt innocent people, whether it was our world or not. So she killed her.
immuno: (boys: they like a little danger.)

[personal profile] immuno 2015-04-16 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ If she were feeling more empathic, Lydia might take that as a hint to back down. But she's too logically-minded for that, so instead of picking up on a thread that should be left alone before it unravels, she sets on it like a dog with a bone. ]

But you said "a gateway witch." Not "the." Are there others like her? David, if there are people who could move between planes, they might have a way to get us back to our own worlds. Back through the Veil. If you know something about how she did it—
generaldavideus: ([david] serious)

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2015-04-17 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
The only other one I know of is her mother and she's just as bad if not worse.

[After all, she sold out her own child to keep herself safe.]

And I'm pretty sure their magic only works between Everworld and the Old World - they're part of the magic that created it.

[It's not entirely a lie, because it's a reasonable guess - if their magic only really worked super effectively in Everworld, it means it's tied to that realm more than anything else.]

Add to the fact they wouldn't do it out of the goodness of their hearts. You'd have to pay a pretty hefty price.

[David's price was his agency and he didn't even really ask for that particular adventure.]
immuno: (overly cynical.)

[personal profile] immuno 2015-04-18 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Unless you could find a way to do it yourself.

[ Which isn't to say Lydia is joining Stiles' "we can learn magic!!!" train but. It would be worth studying. ]

Is there anything written here on Everworld, or are you the only one from there that you know of?
generaldavideus: (Default)

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2015-04-18 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm the only one that I know of.

[Not that he would know the people important to him - or actually be able to identify Senna. He remembers the witch and everything that she did, but any actual identifying information has been scrubbed away.

Thanks a lot, Veil.]
immuno: (boys: they like the look of danger.)

[personal profile] immuno 2015-04-22 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Damn.

[ She seems genuinely discouraged, and she takes it out with a punch at the bag (atk 20 total, dmg 3). ]
generaldavideus: ([david] coffee person)

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2015-04-22 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[His eyebrows go up a bit at the hit and he smirks.]

Not bad.
immuno: (you gotta be the first to run.)

[personal profile] immuno 2015-04-22 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ The praise lights her up and her eyes flicker back over to him. She takes a moment to bask in it, then acknowledges, ] Thanks.

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2015-04-22 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods for a moment, and is going to take that opportunity to steer things FAR FAR AWAY from Everworld and things he really doesn't want to talk about.]

How about we do one more set and break for the day?
immuno: (guilty on the run.)

[personal profile] immuno 2015-04-22 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
This is your training program.

[ Which is the sassy agreement he gets as she starts going at it again. ]
