The Story Thus Far:

The Once-ler has successfully freed Martel Yggdrasil from captivity, bringing her to the woods for safety. Martel, afraid of the retribution this might bring, pleaded Once-ler to tell no one that she has escaped. Once-ler then returned to the Resistance, only telling Ino about what had happened. Martel meanwhile traveled the woods alone until she met up with Zack Fair, the now embittered mercenary that's been doing what he can to stay alive and free in this setting.

However it wasn't as though Martel's disappearance went without notice. Mithos noticed his sister's absence and has set out all stops to find her. Whether or not you know of Martel's release, it's hard not to notice the larger number of angels around - even if some appear less than intimidating. Because of this, the small traveling group of Zelos Wilder, Arya Stark and Genis Sage have decided to travel to the mountains to use the stronger winds for safe haven from any lifeless angels until they can stronger.

Meanwhile back in the Resistance, efforts to fight back still persist. The inventors are having struggles in creating better keycrests for their loved ones  that have been transformed into angels. In the less tech part of the Resistance, Tsuna and Allen continued their efforts to revert angels back to their former selves. They were successful in converting Mithos's former assassin Sheena, but due to some mishaps Maladict escaped from their attempts.

Oh and Garry moped.

With all these different teams going on, what will be the next thing to occur? Will things turn in favor to the Resistance, or will it only get worse? Will Garry ever stop moping? Will any of you remember to use the damn journal? Only time will tell...

[OOC: This post has two services, first as a recap as you seen above, as well as a mass open post for all the on-goings you rather not make an entire post for! Feel free to use this post as such or simply make your own post in the comm, it matters not! As for amount of time, while the game is very flexible we'll set it to be still a few days after the staring point of the game cause why not]

[yeah. he can sense some of that meaning in there]

...None of it is your fault.

We just have to work together to stop it.

[theabjectauthor]

The forest is safe?! ... Well, at least Paradisa isn't fond of fairy tales, this time ...

[save_the_souls]

Um...yes? Is there a reason it wouldn't be?

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler has been combing the town for more bits and pieces he could use for his inventing. He expected to see a few angels, for sure, but not...

Wow what is this guy even doing? He glances around, cautious, before stepping slowly forward. After all, it could be a trap]

Uh... menu guy? You do know you're not going to get any service here, right? On account of the fact...well, that pretty much everyone is dead.

[ofatar]

[ Even if it isn't his fault, which he's still debating over, he's sorry that it happened at all, and that people suffered and died. He's sorry that Paradisa might never be the same and nobody even knows the reason why. ]

I know you will! We will.

[hedonic]

[ ~Someone~ seems to be thriving in the mountains. Of course, that's because she's only visiting. She's only ever visiting anywhere, if she can help it! Echidna isn't about wasting time, just enjoying it. These things don't always mix.

Surely the chilly mountain air seems incompatible with a half-nude jungle elf, but as usual nothing seems to actually bother her or the beloved snake ever wrapped around her waist.

Maybe you sent her on an errand, requested her help, or she's just hunting, but either way the Veteran Mercenary's here and she's liable to sneak up on you! ]

[onehorned]

[Did she do something wrong? She straightens for a second time and shoots him a confused look. Of course she didn't eat them, she just said they were gross.

And, more over;]

They attacked me.

[save_the_souls]

[he'll nod. Things wouldn't return how they were once, no. Allen knew that. But still, they could still make it better]

Are you all right?

[onehorned]

Nowhere.

[Really, it's the truth. She's managed to get through all these Angel shenanigans by wandering around aimlessly. But she takes a moment to reconsider, then gestures past him to point directly at the castle in the distance.]

.. Maybe there. To find the one who got away.

[ofatar]

[ He just doesn't know what to think right now! ]

Yeah, they do that. But...

[ Aang eyes the blood. He could tell when she got close that it was old, and didn't seem to be hers, but still. No matter how creepy she is and how little sense she makes, they seem to be on the same side. ...Possibly. ]

Are you sure you aren't hurt? If you don't want to be attacked, this is probably the last place you should be. [ Says him. ]

[resolver]

I trust you, and I know you've been careful, it's them that I don't trust.

[At the gesture, her smile softens some]

I'm sorry if I worried you.

1/2

[ofatar]

I don't really know how to answer that question. But I can't complain. [ Not knowing how everyone else has suffered while he basically napped and dreamed about fake spirits. ]

[ofatar]

Are you all right?

[onehorned]

Hurt?

[Here, Aang, let her churn your stomach a little more. She lets her right hand slip out of her cloak so she can show him a little magic trick. It's amusement to her, but it might not be so much to him.

Priscilla nicks the skin on the back of the hand with a nail and holds it out to him. It takes a few seconds, but the wound has already started to heal. She looks rather pleased with herself.]

Impossible..

[ofatar]

[ Yep, that does it! Well, it's sort of a mixture of shock and awe. That is something even Katara can't do.

He's scared to ask now, but he does anyway, because he didn't come to the city to hide from the truth. This just isn't exactly what he was seeking out, but then he didn't know what he'd find. ]

Then whose blood is that?

[onehorned]

If you tear them apart, can a dead Angel still fly in Heaven? I often wonder..

[Question answered. She makes a sound that might have been a soft hum before moving to walk past him. You know, in the direction of the castle.]

I'll have to ask them, the others.

[ofatar]

Hey, wait!

[ He reaches out to grab her arm, although he grabs more cloak than anything. Not really sure if he's keeping her from getting herself killed or from killing Angels. Can't he be doing both? He knows people kill in battle, and he knows he can't stop everyone from killing, but darn if he won't still try to at least moderate. ]

Those Angels are just people. People who are no longer in control. It isn't right to kill them, and it won't do any good putting yourself in danger, either.

[onehorned]

[He is so lucky she's regressed, she might have tried to hurt him for grabbing her if she was in her right mind. For a moment, she looks at the hand on her cloak.

This kid reminded her of someone -- someone who had said something similar to her before. It's for that reason alone that she crouches down so they're eye to eye. She actually sounds quite sincere.]

Then..

Should I have died?

[ofatar]

What? No!

[ What kind of question is that? Wow, this girl seems beyond disoriented or something. He's starting to worry she might have a concussion. Should he ask Allen to look at her? ]

No, nobody needs to die. What's your name?

[innominata]

[ This one will prove nigh impossible to sneak up on. Arya can pick up the sound of an intruder. They're far enough from the cave, a few hours hard walk for those without wings, but still too close for her liking. Determined to gauge if it's a potential foe (and willing to destroy it if it is), Arya steals down the mountain. She keeps her sleeves pulled all the way down to her wrists and her wings folded out of sight.

Not an angel. It takes her a bit to recall the woman's name, but Arya remembers. Hard to forget a woman with a snake for smallclothes. For the moment, Arya opts to watch, carefully remaining out of sight. ]

[save_the_souls]

Right, of course...

I'm fine. This...[he tries to think of how to say it] the situation has similarities to my world, so...it was easy for for me adapt.

[ninjainviolet]

[She walked here, how else? She'll be damned if she'll let those wings out again.

She watches impassively as he reaches for his weapon, making no move to go for her own or defend herself.]

I wouldn't blame you if you used that.

[Obvious clue there's a 'crest involved--she has spoken.]

[save_the_souls]

It's all right.

I admit it's a bit selfish, but...I'm glad to have you here.

[ofatar]

The people in my world have been through a lot, but I'm glad that none of them ever have to worry about imagining something quite like this.

[ Although... ]

I've had to fight a friend who was brainwashed before. We were able to return him back to his normal self, but there wasn't magic involved, either. [ And then he died anyway. B| YOU KNOW HIM, ALLEN. ]

[save_the_souls]

[Hey now the Jet thing was a little ambiguous. ]

I see...

It takes some getting used to, fighting them. But I know for sure that they'd want more than anything to be stopped. So we have to do it.
