( MINGLE - WEEK 3 )
 The sun is shining, the air conditioner units hum as they always do, and a gentle morning breeze blows against the windows. The scent of pine cones and evergreen follow you wherever you go in the motel, save for the parking lot and outdoor pool. It seems like someone was very generous with the detergent while moping the floors. The two grandfather clocks (one on each floor) will ring with each passing hour, indicating the time of day without fail. With this knowledge — they'll note the motel will continue to be surrounded by fog until 8:00 AM on the dot. It is at that hour that the fog will begin to recede. Not enough to reveal the whole city, but enough to allow residents to explore some of the buildings surrounding the motel. And speaking of the motel, it doesn't seem like there's anything out of the ordinary on this lovely Monday morning. How quaint. As a reminder, we are now accepting murder proposals for Week 3! If you're interested in having your character commit a murder this week, be sure to send in your proposal before Tuesday, 9:00 PM EST. Without any murders we can't have a murdergame, so go forth and let the bodies hit the floor! As always, feel free to PM us or send us a PP over plurk if you have any questions! ic rulebook | locations | statuses | room assignments private conversations | ic profiles | graveyard | full navigation |
leave me alone courtney
She loves it.] Did they really slay all of those demons? That's amazing. Who is the demon king?
I've never heard of them, but I bet they're scary and powerful.
i'm not apologizing for not leaving you alone you know me better i'm apologizing for this word vomit
The Demon King Fomortiis rose from malevolent energies and magics three hundred years ago. Tall as thirty men and able to summon those wretched Mogalls and Wights, even snake-haired gorgons and the wickedly powered spiders Baels, he terrorized the land for years! The Demon King could ravage entire countries, sweep aside landscapes, and worst, enter the very hearts of men to brutalize their feelings and turn families and allies against each other!
[She's making sweeping gestures with her arms and clenching her fingers as she goes, clutching her hand to her chest as she speaks in dramatized pain about men's hearts; this is going to be a very theatrical experience for them all, so help her god.]
But when he tried to force his will upon one of the Five Heroes, Saint Latona the sure-hearted shook away his awful influence. He was the only one who had ever been so powerful as to resist the Demon King! His might alongside that of the other four was enough to drive the Demon King back, trapping his soul in to the Sacred Stones and banishing him once more.
[She crouches again, leaning towards Emily and adds in a harsh whisper:] But when he came back— [SPRINGS TO HER FEET AGAIN] —three hundred years later, when those stones were destroyed and his soul released, the Demon King forced a continent to war, passed his soul through good-hearted leaders to drive the whole of Magvel into woe and destruction! When at last Fomortiis revived his body, all hope surely seemed lost; it would be enough power, with four of the five stones destroyed, to conquer the weakened continent, perhaps the world, entirely. And yet!
[She pumps her fist high into the air and makes a wide sweeping gesture.]
It was that very demon slayer, the peerless princess of light, descended three centuries from Saint Latona, who wielded that hero's very magic tome: the Glorious Light Ivaldi itself. When she raised her arm, when she cast her spell, when she and her allies moved their hearts as one under her divine leadership against the Demon King's power—!
[She goes quiet for a moment, her hand still stretched to the sky, fingers open as if casting that spell, then puts her hand on her knees so she can crouch down to meet Emily's eyes again. Voice quiet again, beaming wide, L'Arachel concludes:]
Fomortiis fell once more. His body demolished by her light, he will never, ever return.
rip
You had one job, L'Arachel.] King Fomortiis does sound powerful! [She's very into these theatrics. No one at Dunwall was really this theatric, except maybe Samuel on occasion when he was into telling her sea tales. Even then, it was only his voice.
The door to the cabinet is fully open. She's all ears, eyes and brows and lips full of expression that changes with the dramatics.] What happened?!
[Protip: happy endings are the best ones. She's delighted, grinning. It's even better when the hero is a woman?] They won! I'm glad.
Now everywhere will be safe. That's what I would want to be too--a demon slayer. I would go to Pandyssia and kill any monsters that lived there. I would tell Corvo about all my travels. And Mister Sokolov too, since he's been already.
Do you think that the demon slayer was scared? Of the king.
no subject
Do you now? I can see it already! The people of Pandyssia will sleep well at night knowing they are under the ward of Emily the divine. Your legends would be spoken of far and wide! Your friends would hear of your tales not only from your own accounts but from the songs of bards sung in your honor!
[Her smiles softens instead of being all intense energy.]
I can assure you, the demon slayer felt no fear at all, for she knew her own strength and the light in the hearts of her comrades well enough to be assured of her victory.
no subject
She just wants to explore and maybe pillage some bad guys?] Maybe I will be in a book. Then someone else will read about what I did. I could keep a journal.
[Her hand returns to her lap.] I'm glad the demon slayer was very brave. I want to be brave too. Like Corvo and the demon slayer.
I don't think we have demons in the Isles, but... maybe I can be a sea monster slayer.
no subject
A journal! What a splendid idea! It will last as an eternal testament to your greatness. Scholars will pore over it for centuries to come, wanting to know you as well as they may have in life.
[A DREAMY SIGH what more could a person ask for]
Oh, but my dear, you are already so brave! I have seen it myself, so I know it to be true. Why, with such courage and pure-hearted will, and with an enemy to vanquish decided, even that legendary demon slayer would be proud of your power!
no subject
no subject
Why, you haven't realized! I shall tell you something—you have met the demon slayer yourself. As a matter of fact— [POSES THEATRICALLY!!!!] —that marvelous holy warrior is none other than the lovely woman standing here before you!
