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...

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]

[So, you're walking along in the forest, minding your own foresty business, when all of a sudden you hear the loudest THUMP of what seems to be something really heavy falling down.]

[And before you can even wonder what the heck it was, there's the sound of a man's voice, high in tone and sounding ever so miserable.]

Why is this really hard?! Gosh, maybe I shouldn't even try anymore...

[Walk a bit toward where the sound is, and you'll find this purple-haired loser just laying on the ground as if he's never going to leave it, huge black wings on his back flapping like a fish out of water in a rather pathetic manner.]

Why did I ever think this was a good idea...

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena had promised she'd be good--that she wouldn't try to harm herself--in order to be freed from those damned cuffs she had awakened with. For some reason, they had believed her, and now, here she was, wandering the forest--trying to lose herself or run away, she had no idea as she moved aimlessly through the trees--so much like her Former Angel self.

The noise up ahead caught her attention, and while she didn't exactly run or hurry, she made her way towards it. Coming upon the scene, she narrowed her eyes and tilted her head to one side.]

Could you possibly be any louder?

[thehangedrose]

What? Oh, oh, sorry! Sorry...

[He turns his head to look at her, much too miserable to actually get himself off the ground.]

I'm...I'm just have problems, you see. Flying isn't as easy as it looks like.

[ninjainviolet]

[She looks at his wings disdainfully.]

You really want to use those things?

[thehangedrose]

Well, I guess? I mean, I've had them for more than two years, it's about time I actually started using them instead of just them being huge feather dusters...

[Don't mind the black feathers just floating down on you, Sheena- he just moults too much for his own good.]

[ninjainviolet]

[She swipes irritably at the damn things falling around her, eyes glued to Garry.]

You'd probably be better off using them as dusters.

[Don't mind her, she's still a little bitchy about things.]

[thehangedrose]

Hey, that's the last thing I want to do! They're really annoying as they are!

[He manage to push himself upward on his knees, letting out a sigh.]

I mean, it's not like I wanted these in the first place...

[ninjainviolet]

[Sighs. No one really wants those things.]

Fine. Get up.

[thehangedrose]

Getting up!

[And he does so, folding his wings behind him as he look over Sheena curiously.]

Hey...I think I met you before. You seem really familiar.

[ninjainviolet]

[At least he's got that part down.]

It doesn't matter who I am.

[thehangedrose]

Why not? You're a person too, right? At least you could give me your name...I'm Garry, by the way.

[ninjainviolet]

[A person. Yeah, right. But if that's what he wants to believe.]

It's Sheena.

[You know, the one who went around killing everyone?]

[thehangedrose]

Sheena! A pleasure to meet you!

[To be fair, he wasn't around the castle enough to get to know all the angels there, and it's been a while since he's even been near the castle, so he merely beams, stretching a hand for her to shake, if she wants.]

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler will calmly step over Garry. To crouch a little by his head]

You know the sky's the other way right? [The points upwards. HELPFULLY]

[thehangedrose]

[LEAVE HIM TO WALLOW IN HIS MISERY, GOSH DARN IT.]

[He looks up with an unamused expression.]

I know. I just came from there.

[whichwayyoulean]

[NO only he's allowed to do that. GARRY STAHP]

Sorry to break it to you, buddy, but you kind of suck at flying.

[And then, rather unceremoniously, he dumps a package on the deadcat angel]

Happy...Regular Day. Have a gift.

[thehangedrose]

[HE DOES WHAT HE WANTS, ONCE-LER]

Really? I didn't know after about the last ten times I dropped onto the ground.

[It's lucky that he can't really feel anything from that! Or else he would've been more annoyed. Heck, never mind, he's going to be annoyed you dropped it on his back on the first place. He slowly gets up on his knees, the package dropping down to his side as his wings shift, and manages to peer up at Once-ler with a confused look before picking it up.]

What's this?

[whichwayyoulean]

Maybe you should try flapping around on the ground first. Get used to wing mechanics.

[Gosh Garry, way to be annoyed at a thoughtful gift. GOSH]

It's the wing harness. Told you I'd make one.

[Now he doesn't have to rescue Martel he has a lot more time on his hands to do nothing but THINK and MAKE STUFF]

[thehangedrose]

I did that, but it's not like I can know if what I'm doing is right! Not too many angels like me around to look after, you know?

[He blinks, and then realization strikes him.]

Oh, oh, yes, I remember! You really did make it? [Opening it now.] Oh, gosh...thanks, Once-ler. How do you even put it on, though?

[whichwayyoulean]

Well, you'll know if you're doing it right or not by how well you'll do when you eventually jump off something high and end up either hitting the ground or not.

[He gives a shrug, trying to brush off the gesture]

It's pretty easy. Just put your arms through the holes there, and your wings should fold into the hammock parts in the back.

[thehangedrose]

Yeah, great tip. Except that's what I've been doing for the last several day. A lot of good did that do me...

[He holds it up, examining it first, before slowly trying to put it on. It takes a minute or so, because those pesky wings don't seem to want to cooperate with being lifted in awkward positions, but eventually he gets the hand of it and puts them in place, standing and turning around so Once-ler can see.]

Hey! That's pretty nice...how does it look?

[whichwayyoulean]

Looks like you have a lot of appointments with the ground in your future, then.

[He smiles, partly out of the warm feeling any inventor gets when a Job Well Done occurs, and partly because it might make Garry's life marginally less miserable]

Looks great. Least you don't have to worry about them getting caught everywhere now.

[thehangedrose]

Which is precisely why I'm questioning my sudden want to learn how to fly, really...

[He does look marginally less miserable, actually, happy enough to...]

[Oh god.]

[He's going in for.... THE HUG]

[Though a very careful hug, as he doesn't want to crush your spine or anything, but don't mind being lifted up in the air like you weigh the same as a stuffed animal, Once-ler, blame the angel strength.]

Gosh...thanks a bunch, Once-ler! You're the best!

[whichwayyoulean]

Some people do crazy things sometimes. That's my theory.

[Oh sweet zombie jesus WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO HUG HIM? WHY?

And he really didn't enjoy being lifted]

...That's great but could you put me down?

[thehangedrose]

[He'll hold it for a second or two before submitting to Once-ler's request and putting him down, and giving him a pat on the shoulders for good nature.]

Just wanted to show my gratitude in some way, really...if you need anything, Once-ler, please, don't hesitate to tell me! I want to repay you somehow.
