  1. Mari turned to V, ready to introduce her - a third time - but she was leaving. What..wait what? A small panic set into the drunken woman as she stumbled forward, toward the dark skinned woman whom she only knew as V “Hey - hol’ on a shecon-shecond…” The concern the woman had for Mari did not go unnoticed, and Mari wasn’t entirely sure how to explain it - was she insane? Or just dealing with a traumatic experience? How does one articulate that they are afraid the person they love most in the world is a figment of their imagination? That people are pretending to be him? Her hand hung mid-ai
  2. Mari glanced away....he had reacted about the way she thought he would, perhaps...a little better. There was a lot of trepidation there. When people thought of the LC they thought of the LC of the past; not how it was now. But, there was no way to really relay that to him. Mari couldn't really put on a bright smile and say 'oh they're not that bad! not anymore! They even have a rule about unnecessary killing!" Because Mari knew a lot of the people were bad. It wasn't a kind guild, nor was it filled with kind people. It was, and still is a guild that honestly would be better if it didn't exist
  3. "Hmm?" Mari lifted her head with a yawn. Oh...that's right. Rey had messaged her asking if she'd be able to be at her store; luckily for him - she had been crafting not long prior. Mari sat up straight and arched her back, it cracked in several places. "Yeh. Hang on." Mari scratched at her arm. It still hurt, but it was healing well enough. She supposed that was to be expected...after yanno, being kidnapped. "Sup Rey." Mari would stand, looking at the note he slid over, most of it basic stuff. "You know..." She began, as she started to collect all the things he had asked for. "I don'
  4. "I guess its a little nerdy." Mari said, placing emphasis on the word. "It is all science, chemical reactions and the like." Mari didn't say much else on the matter, as Celeste didn't seem all too interested. That was fine. Not everyone had the same interests as she. Instead Mari intently listened. Gabrandr...a brief memory of a flame Eruda also seemed to have, it was the same colour. Mari assumed it a parlour trick. Did the other woman also have something to do with that? "Flames of the father?" Mari tilted her head. "Didn't really peg you as someone who was a frontliner...or into religi
  5. Mari was still close to Jevi, thighs still touching. As expected, she hadn’t received a response from Lancaster, he was probably resting. “Switch partners….” Mari slurred as she rested a head on Jevi’s shoulder. “I am enjoying yours though….I’m not really one for dancing.” A hand lifting up to fix V's hair. Mari rarely admitted to enjoying someones company, it was probably the alcohol. Mari felt the presence of another join them and her smile faded, barely glancing at the man. She didn’t really feel like being hit on by strangers. “Don’t you just hate unwanted guests…” Mari began in an an
  6. "Is this deeper than just a simple kidnapping attempt?" "I'm...not sure." Came Mari's reply as she pulled out a map from her inventory, she checked the tag. Wrong person, then another, nope...not that one. Third time was the charm. "The man is definitely not working alone. But, this was a sloppy attempt - one of opportunity. Clearly." Mari glanced toward the town, frowning. "One that never should have happened, if only someone stepped in." A slight to the people holed up in the safe zone. Mari wouldn't fault those who didn't want to fight, but there had been players there - ones capable o
  7. For Now.... He says. Mari couldn't help but offer a small amused smile at that, so he was self aware at least. The blunt honesty was far more welcomed than whatever false platitudes he was spouting earlier. She liked it, it made him more human, and by proxy...far more bearable. The two had made their way to the staircase between floors. It was a long descent, but at least they were heading down. A far side better than going up. Finally arriving at the 10th floor Mari stretched, there was such a feeling of familiarity with the 10th floor...this was in all but name, her home for years. A qu
  8. "If I had scrubbed him...." "Nothing would have changed, Rai. Except the fact that you would have robbed him of a chance of truly, and I mean truly working toward a change." She watched as he picked up his broken pair of glasses, this set - to no fault of her own. Mayhaps, they would stop breaking if he had a pair for her smaller head, anything he would wear simply slid off her own. She listened to him talk about the Elven bread and Mari was glad she didn't outright take a large chunk from it. It was to get your attention Mari snorted, "Well. It worked. I do admit, parts of me q
  9. Mari would sit opposite him at the small table, the chair - old and worn creaking with her weight. "Perhaps...." Came Mari's response as she took another long drink from her steaming cup of coffee, a clean and stark white against a murky and fetid backdrop a she placed it on the table. Hands still cupping it. Tired eyes staring down into the liquid before they rose to met Raidou's gaze. "But, truth be told...I wasn't sure what to expect but..." She'd lift her shoulders in a small shrug as she fished around in her pocket, pulling out the broken pair of glasses and sliding them over to him. "Sti
  10. Mari groaned, still in bed next to Lancaster when the message came through. She lifted her hand to open the message - seeing who it was from caused her to practically jump out of bed. Jostling her lover awake. "Come back to bed Mi Amore....outside can wait." He'd reach out to her, hands finding their way round her hips as he pulled her close. Oh how Mari wished she could. All the two had done in the past few days was eat bathe and rest...in some cases 'rest' and truth be told...she didn't want that to end. "I can't. It's business." Mari leaned down and kissed Lancaster on his forehead. H
  11. It didn't take long for Khione to message Mari back, not surprising. She seemed to hang around the lower floors, and for someone sporting a green crystal... it was much easier to get around. Most everyone from the Severed Song was dead. All barring one familiar name that caused Mari to still. Her chest to sink. Why? Why was she punished for trying to be a good person? I took pleasure in his death all the same." A line that once would have unnerved her, but instead of concern for a so called 'fellow man' she simply smiled, tilting her head so it'd lean on his shoulder. "Then perhaps.
  12. He had a way of comforting her matched by no other. Not like Baldurs guidance, Raidou's subtle and consistent praises, nor her brother. Not like Oscar, a sweet succor in the dead of night. This felt like something else entirely. And Mari..as selfish as she was...refused to let that go. The two standing now, Mari refused to let Lancaster hide his hands away. Shaken, in desperation and exhaustion Mari's own trembling one yanked his out of a jacket pocket and she entwined her own betwixt his fingers. Lancaster still seemed rattled...and Mari inwardly cursed herself. Knowing her next words could o
  13. V told Mari of her own issues with romance, and Mari could relate a little. Pain in the ass....Full of himself.... Things said to negatively describe an ex, Mari couldn't help but realize described her own husband - but Mari would use the terms affectionately. "I Think...." Mari began. She wasn't good with this sort of thing, with comforting others. "As long as y-you live fer yourshelf..." A hand reached out to gently rub the top of V's head. She's not a damn cat Mari.. Mari drew her hand away and instead let it land on V's shoulder, offering a small squeeze. "It ain't you. Namesh go on
  14. "Yeh...." Mari said quietly, allowing herself the rare chance to close her eyes. Feeling safe enough with the man to be able to do so. She'd let her head rest against the bark of the tree. "I loved it...it felt like one of the few things I could control... so when I got my first profession...it was only natural I picked performer. But...as you said...it began to feel more like a job." Mari lifted her head, opening her eyes to watch Jomei as he carefully turned her violin around in his hands. She felt a swell of pride when he lingered on the ornate L burned into the back of it. "I alread
  15. Mari waved off Azhoda's thanks with a nonchalant hand. "Is fine." Mari slowly lead the woman out of Tartarus, she couldn't help but notice a few abnormalities, holes in walls where there shouldn't be - entire sections of the place seemingly missing, as though someone had blasted through it. If Mari didn't know any better, she'd say someone was renovating the area. If it were any particular group...Mari would have to guess it were the Laughing Coffin. This could also be some of the abnormalities Raidou was talking about. Mari cast a worried glance over her shoulder at the meek woman behind her.

  22. His blade prickled her skin, and it felt heavy- a strange electricity almost that vibrated from the dark weapon. It almost felt like Juiblex. But Mari wasn't sure if that was just her addled mind loosing sense of what was, and what wasn't. One thing was clear to her though, friend or not...she'd lose her head if she went against him. Well....Shit. Mari lowered her gaze. She hated to admit it...but he was right...if she hadn't offered Addex that same compassion, that same mercy...she'd not have been captured. She'd still have her familiar. She began to question if this was actually Raidou,
