Event Sixteen.

she’ll never stuff in a size-six sonnet, her flesh so fulsome the slipper seems effete, unworthy of the labor spent on it. | |
Welcome to Awash's sixteenth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. You are welcome to make your own logs and posts for this event! | |
t's yet another day in which a bunch of characters ended up in the bottom of the well. That sucks. Of course, when you get up and start heading over to see if they're getting out of the well okay... you might find that it's a lot harder than expected.

[ Another small bow before he heads straight towards the fireplace. Thank you, everything above and beyond, for fire! His soul is reviving after feeling like it was turned into an ice-pop!
But just 'Maribelle'? Isn't that too familiar! Ah! Let's see, let's see. What'd be fine? 'Maribelle-guniang?' No, no. That doesn't sound right. What's that word? That word? Hm. 'Lady?' Yes, that works! ]
Lady Maribelle. [ Just referring to you like that is being too familiar without some title!! He said it aloud, but he can't think of anything he wants to say to her. Fuck. Don't just call a girl and not have anything to say!! ] Could you tell me a bit of where you come from?
no subject
Fire!
[And a small stream of fire blazes out, hitting the wood and lighting it up. She then closes the book, satisfied.]
Hm? Oh, my home... I'm from a land called Ylisse. I serve Lord Chrom as one of the members of his army.
no subject
His expression remains unchanged as he turns to look back at her. From a book? Hey, hey! A witch?? ]
A member of one of his army? I would not have guessed. [ Also!!! What the fuck was that??? Are you a wizard, Lady Maribelle??? ] That was quite a feat you did just now. I have not seen magic summoned in such a way. [ Not quite true but he is still surprised! ]
... Tell me, what do you study under?
no subject
My class is called "Valkyrie". As such, my specialties are offensive magic and healing magic. I can cast fire, as you saw, as well as wind and lightning.
no subject
That is quite a variety of spells that you are in control of, Lady Maribelle. [ And able to use a book, huh? I can only do it after painstakingly drawing out talismans!! What a pain! It is nice to think of books already having the spells needed.
Wait a fucking second!! Did she say healing?! ]
How deep is your knowledge when it comes to healing? [ What spells do you got unlocked!! While he is certain that there is no cure for his poison, he still needs to manage it, or he might as well just kiss his ass goodbye! ]
no subject
[She moves to go pick up her healing staff, which looks fairly ordinary.]
It can recover wounds, and just as importantly, give your body strength. If I use it too much in succession, the staff will break, and it also requires I give my own energy in return.
(pfft wasn't happy with that tag i wrote :X)
I see. [ Isn't that also saying that at the risk of saving one person, she might not be able to save another person in the future?! That's really hardcore, when you think about it! Shen Qingqiu really doesn't think that he could ask her to use it to help monitor his poisoned state. I'd have to be real shitty to say, "Hey, forget all those hypothetical people and just save me!!" ]
That makes it quite a precious items and ability that you have. This teacher hopes that it is not one that you have to use in succession. [ And doesn't that also mean the person is in a real bad shape?! ] But that makes your class even more worth praise. To have all these skills, the person that you followed was lucky to have someone so dedicated.
[ A small pause as he looks up towards the portrait. ] Your family, too, is equally lucky. [ Right, right. I'll ask on other healers soon, but that level of dedication can't be dismissed. ]
no subject
... They are not mine by blood, but I love them all the same. On occasion, this realm has allowed us to take things from our home-worlds.
[She gestures to the portrait.]
This is the royal family of Ylisse. During one quest, I wished for this, as a reminder of what's waiting for me back home, and what I must fight for.
no subject
He blinks in turn, mild surprise showing, especially when she smiles just a little sadly when he gestures to her family. His hand pulls back as she explains herself further. Oh. Shen Qingqiu looks at the portrait once more. I was thinking of roasting her a little about having a painting of the royal family and not one of some love interest back home instead!
But he can't be so mean when she looks as she does and speaks with so much pride. ]
From how you speak of them, I am certain they love you just as much. [ They'd have to be real heartless if they didn't! Joining an army, too. For the royals, huh? That's quite a thing! She said it so easily, too, like a minor detail. Because it becomes a minor detail when it's for someone you care about, ah?
He asks with a softer tone: ] What are all their names?
no subject
She nods once, before gesturing to each figure as she explains.]
She is... was Lady Emmeryn.
[Everyone knows when you say 'was'...]
The eldest sister. She led our land into new age of peace and glory... all who knew her knew happiness. She could never hold a grudge, even those who wronged her cruelly. She placed everyone's lives above her own.
He is Lord Chrom, our ruler, and leader of our army. His bravery knows no bounds, and he will always lend a hand to those in need. His strength is unparalleled, and he can bring all races and classes together for unity.
And then there is Lady Lissa... my best friend. She and I grew up together, and she took up healing magic, same as I. Her smile lights up a room, and she is the light that keeps us moving forward in the darkest of times.
no subject
He lifts his gaze up to stare at each member of the family as Maribelle describes them. Blinking slow, he thinks he can piece together what happened to the eldest sister. His eyes look away as he feels his jaw tighten. Sorry. What I had thought before -- sorry.
Shen Qingqiu looks back up as she speaks about Chrom and Lissa. They don't look that old to have to suffer that kind of loss. Ah? And Chrom has an army? Right, right, that means that there is war now. Is there some rule about people having to suffer! There's no reason to kill off people and drive others to the brink of despair! There is a stuffy feeling that sneaks its way into his heart.
But I only just heard their names and a little of their story now. This indignation ... it isn't really ... His thoughts cut themselves off and his heart feels just half stuffed upon hearing everything. ]
This teacher has never seen war, but only ever heard of its devestation. I am sorry that you all had to be touched by it. An impertinent comment... but you have my sympathy... as do they.
no subject
... It's appreciated all the same. But you didn't come here to be burdened with sad tales, I imagine. Rest up.
[She turns away momentarily.]
I'll see if I can brew us a hot cup of tea. The best way to prevent a cold is to warm up your body inside and out. This is but the first day of your odd stay in this weird place, so it's best to get your strength up as much as possible.
... It's nice to have someone to talk to about them, sometimes.
no subject
[ I'm just listening to them, right? Aren't you the one that's holding them? That's much heavier than what I have to hold. Don't worry about me! He can, at least, offer a smile. ]
I benefit greatly in being in your presence. [ Fire, tea, remembering my own humble self! He rubs his hands together before holding them out toward the fire. ]
I would not mind hearing more stories. They are your hope and light, after all. Such amazing people should have more words spared about them. [ So don't hesitate, okay?? ]
no subject
[With one little bow, she heads out to make the tea.]
no subject
My own tales?! I don't even know what to say!! I suppose I could talk about my peak brothers and sisters! There is such a warm family there. But I feel embarrassed! I can't just wax on poetically like that! I can't! That's way too embarrassing to show such a side of myself!!
His head is shaking as he looks up toward the portrait, again. They're really wonderful people! Really!! I just don't think I can talk about them in a way that is as honest as she did about you three! I'll definitely end up laughed at about it!! In a way, he looks at them with the hope that they'll give him strength to think of what to say.
His jaw bunches. Also! Medicine! I want to ask if she knows anyone who can give me medicine! But I don't want to just suddenly start asking and demanding stuff! How fucking rude is that! I already am being given a chance to warm up and tea! These things really feel like rare commodities! Is it really fucking okay to be asking for something else when she asked me to talk of something nice? Even I have more manners than that!! ]
