002 - New Year, Same Ol' Blair

[optimate]

🧙 WHO: Blair and YOU!
⚔️️ WHAT: Post-storm Cleanup, Bridge Troll Murder, Random Frolicking
🕒 WHEN: January
🗺️ WHERE: Various
⚠️ WARNINGS: Violence



🛡️ After the Storm

[ Blair normally wouldn't do this sort of thing, but the promise of money and a step further towards her long-term goal had her enduring the work. It's also useful training, which had been the only thing she's been doing so she gets a change of pace in her workouts. But instead of getting her hands dirty, she uses her Kinetic magic to move things. She remains on a level she finds frustratingly weak, despite her concentration of pushing snow off of the roads and onto the sidewalk. ]

Excuse me.

[ She warns someone who was on or near the path where she was pushing the snow toward. She didn't want to break her concentration so she didn't stop or warn the other person some more. Sorry if you feel someone telekinetically push you a little. ]

🗡️ Bridge Trolls

[ She hasn't had a taste for actual combat in a while, and Blair is having an itch for a good hunt. No thrill like stalking her prey and firing an arrow through their cranium. She carefully planned her approach in taking these trolls out, listening to the construction crew's descriptions of the creatures and making sure she has an accurate idea of the area. With that information, she went on ahead - alone. Just the way she likes it. Her armor is still strong enough to protect her from most damage, but she lacks her stealth capability of turning invisible. Hiding atop the trees, she watched her quarry until it's getting dark. There's three trolls, hiding underneath the bridge and far away for her to shoot with decent power.

Once the trolls were relaxed and getting ready to sleep, that was when Blair decided to strike. Tired from an entire day, their minds would be more prone to deception. With one troll keeping watch, Blair uses her Kinetic magic to move some rocks at the opposite side of her, covering her approach as she moves down from the branches and using the trunks as cover. But something happens that she did not expect... The trolls were woken by something else. Or rather someone else. Blair looks at the newcomer who just ruined her plans but also provided her with an ample distraction. Frustrated she may be, Blair sprints closer to proceed with her strategy and to see who this person is. Can't have them take on three trolls at once, so Blair did something daring and quite possibly dangerous.

She puts her bow away and climbs up a tree to get some height while the newcomer is busy being on the spotlight of three angry monsters. Without wasting any moment, Blair jumps behind one of them, stabbing the back of their neck with her knife to get their arms swinging and hitting their fellow troll ]

Watch out!

Exploring Camelot

[ Blair isn't used to animals. So she can be seen... walking her dragon like it's a dog. She bought a leash for it and everything, just letting the winged lizard take it's small steps while Blair follows along with it. Blair has a good idea of what the place is like by now, always taking some time to walk around and get used to the city. She can be seen in the city's largest entertainment districts in the late afternoon when the sky is slowly turning blue, and around the time street lights are going to be slowly brimming to life. While strolling down the sidewalks, Blair was distracted by a bookstore, stopping to see what books are out on the display window. The smell of coffee and fresh pages manages to reach her nose when the door opened, allowing her a brief moment of peace before her dragon, Nero, flies over the ground when it saw something interesting - or someone interesting! It gives a little grunt in greeting, with Blair noticing her familiar when she felt the tug on the leash ]

Nero! God, what now? My apologies about him, he's excitable and friendly.

Training Ground

[ With gyms needing money to be accessible, Blair settled with the training grounds that was readily available to them. Whether you're hear really early (before sunrise) or during the day, you'd either see Blair warming up and finishing up her training. Either way, she's feeling the strain of what she had been doing constantly, stopping in the middle of it to wince in slight pain on her shoulder. She needs a healer, stat. Or a massage. Come on, she's paying. ]

Comments

You're telling me... It feels like there was barely any thought put into our stay here at all! I had also mastered the art of elemental tomes... but now, like this, they're little more than paperweights. It's absolutely ridiculous.

[ huff huff rant rant. But at least the magic is working, despite her complaining. ]

[optimate]

[ Blair just listened to her complain. It was almost like looking in the mirror. She gives the other girl a strained smile in thanks ]

That's a shame.

[ She says flatly, glancing away and clearing her throat. ]

What's your name? Mine is Blair, and I might need your services in the future. It would be nice to have a healer to help with my training.

[ Maribelle frowns at the lack of empathy in her tone... then shakes her head. No, no, will do no good to judge. Maybe she's like Miriel - she has emotions, she just has difficulty expressing them.

Focus!]

My name is Maribelle. I'm happy to be of assistance whenever I can.
