It’s just after midnight when the column arrives outside of Sanctuary, shrouded in darkness under the pitch black of a new moon. Bordered by mountains to the north, the city has two primary gates to the West and the East, both of which are shut tight with massive oaken doors, centuries old and further secured with an antique portcullis. The city itself is surrounded by walls of stone, easily one-fourth the height of those found in Union and about twice the height of many of the homes, sturdy stone buildings with triangular roofs, about the same size as Calderan homes. Like Union, there are many towers within the city, but unlike Union, the towers are cold, aloof structures that stand alone with no connection to the other towers. The city itself is stone, cold, gray, and unfeeling, with small drops of light from streetlamps which line the streets, emitting an eerie blue-white glow. This is Sanctuary. Home of the Magi, conquered by Gigas for forty years. This is the city that must be reclaimed.

[OOC: If you did not choose to take the Pokeballs (you don’t have to have affirmed in an NPC thread, it’s entirely up to the character), they may have either 1 large Pokemon or 2 small Pokemon. A large Pokemon is classified as any Pokemon that is 4’ tall or long per the official Pokedex guidelines, anything smaller is considered a small Pokemon. Without the aid of Pokeballs the Pokemon will be required to be out and active throughout the log, and will not be able to be recalled or sent away if they are injured and must be carried if knocked out. As always, please limit yourself to 2 major actions in the log, and declare all Pokemon accompanying you in your first tag to a log. As always, to keep the logs moving, we will be responding every 24 hours.]

With war almost upon us, we must all do our best to become the absolute strongest that we can. Unfortunately, I have not been able to train as much as I would like, on account of my strength makes it difficult to spar with someone without the risk of serious injury if I don't carefully hold back.

It never seemed terribly pressing when we were more or less at peace, but now I need to ask. Are there any of you who want to train with me who are tougher than an ordinary human?

[Action]

A few days before the operation to save Sanctuary began, Morgiana has done a crash course to help get herself back in shape. She wasn't ever exactly OUT of shape, but her months spent in Union have left her slightly less hard bitten and deadly than she had been as a servitor. All that friendship and understanding and regular meals really takes the edge off of a warrior.

And so, after making her offer/challenge to the warp band network, she spent her afternoon in a small dirt field not far beyond the walls that she frequently used for training in relative privacy, waiting for would be opponents. While she waited, she practiced punches, aided by the massive stone weights strapped around her wrists. Gultas, her Pangoro friend and ally, stood by her and matched her motions. Though the pokemon was easily two or three times the size of the fanalis, he was probably the weaker of the two.

[The scene: Morgiana's tiny, dingy (if clean) apartment. It wasn't much, but Morgiana was used to less, so it had suited her fine, and anyways it was all she could afford from doing various odd jobs around her neighborhood.

Now, a sizable amount of floorspace is taken up by a huge, reddish Pangoro, which was sitting in the corner watching her curiously.]

My apologies for bothering you all. I've been comfortable enough in here, but now that Gultas has evolved, it feels a bit cramped when he visits.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I want a bigger place, which means I need a roommate. Or a steadier job.

[Chie's definitely worried about something.  That much is clear from the moment the feed comes on.]

Okay, so.  I never thought I of all people would be saying this, but has anyone ever had a Fighting type Pokemon with, um...

[She glances behind her for a moment, stepping aside to reveal a Blaziken kicking a tree in half and setting it on fire at the same time.]

...too much kick?

[The camera pans around a bit, showing several similar trees nearby before coming back to Chie.]

In case you're wondering, this isn't the Scorched Forest we're training in.  So, uh... y'know.  Any advice is appreciated!  Ahaha... ha...

[The sound of another tree breaking in half causes Chie to wince for a moment before she kills the feed.]

It's nothing serious, but could I get a few people to do some favors for me this week? Make some deliveries to the Seekers headquarters, pick up a few things around the business district, nothing major. I'll be happy to pay you. Last week really did a number on me...

Thank you in advance.

[The Seas were Sinbad’s natural environment – when they were behaving normally. However, due to recent events, they were rolling and bucking like mad, making the two passengers on the ship heading towards Union’s port deeply regret their decision to go seawards – He’s not sure about Morgiana, but he’s almost certain he’s going to be feeling it the next day.

After checking for the Umpteenth time that Morgiana hadn’t been thrown overboard by the last swell he sprang up as the docks go within jumping distance. He waves to anyone that might be out watching the seas as he turns back to the young woman]

Ah! Morgiana, We’re almost there! So that Warp Band you got is gonna work now?

[Video]

[Sinbad clears his throat lightly before he starts speaking - he’ll really have to make this first impression count]

People of Union! We’ve come hearing that you are in trouble, and we’ve arrived to render assistance! I am Sinbad - Merchant and Adventurer and I believe some of you already know my companion Morgiana from her previous time here.

[He lets Morgiana take control of her warp band]

...Anyways! We travelled a long ways since we heard that someone was causing unnatural distortions in the region’s weather, and obviously we couldn’t let that happen. Now then - where can we go to see the King of this City -

[At the point Morgiana’s voice can be heard from off screen.]

Union doesn’t have a king. It’s a republic.

[Then Sinbad glances off screen, speaking quietly, but his voice can still be heard by those with good hearing]

It is? Really? Not many city-states are...

[She shifts the view around so it shows her face instead of Sinbad’s.]

It is as he says. I heard rumors that things were going wrong here, so I talked him into heading back north with me to see if we could help.

Sinbad is…mostly trustworthy, I’d say.


Mostly?

[He can be heard off-Camera]

My sincere apologies for my false assumption on how this city functions, but as I had said before, I am more than happy to help wherever I can, and I do have other business I would like to conduct once all is well.

[As the people of Union begin to move out into the plains, they'll find that the Councilor's warnings were apt. Though not everyone is targeted, it isn't long before a few unlucky travelers find themselves on the receiving end of the same type of attack. The bandits, whoever they might be, are experts at swooping out of the blue, striking so swiftly that the victims almost never even catch a glimpse of them.

How exactly will they put this to a stop? There's so many, it seems impossible to take them out one group at a time... Perhaps they have a base somewhere.]

((This post is for both groups who wish for mods to run and players to thread freely amongst themselves. You may feel free to handwave having been attacked and thread the aftermath of that event. Please respond to the appropriate section depending on where your character is. Thanks!))

[Video. Morgiana is outside somewhere. Her hair looks a little...redder? It's subtle.]

I have news. While helping the Calderans with the reconstruction I...got a little lost in countryside and I met this.

[She shifts the view to show an adorable little pokemon. He is currently facing away from the camera and eating a piece of watermelon. Judging by the rinds lying around him this isn't his first piece.

After a moment, Morgiana reaches over and pokes him. He turns around suddenly, then waves.]

Cham!

[She turns the camera back to herself.]

It followed me home.

Oh also, I've learned a new trick!

[She backs up a bit, crouches slightly, then throws a punch at the air. What looks to be some kind of glowing chain extends from her fist, whipping around wildly. This is all well and good up to the moment when Morgiana suddenly looks in alarm at where the chain was flicking off screen, then runs off.]

[Action]

A park somewhere in Union is covered in a light haze of smoke, as Morgiana runs frantically back and forth from a public fountain, trying to put out the fire she just started by showing off her new evolution. A shiny Pancham is running around too, though more in panic than with any obvious plan.

[Responses to the video portion are assumed to be after she puts out the fire.]

Morgiana has been keeping busy. Sometimes she can be found carrying crates of goods to stalls in the market (usually four or five crates at a time.), sometimes she can be found helping out with construction projects around Union, or performing deliveries for the post office. Other times still find her at the library, reading mostly about Union's history and archeology. All work that does not require Pokemon, as she still hasn't managed that. Basically no matter what you do in Union, you are likely to eventually cross paths with this tiny redhead.

[video to Chie, Kaidou, and Atsuro]

My friends, I have been working to earn money. Now I actually have some, and I would like to treat you all to dinner. You were the first to welcome me to Union, and I want to thank you for it!

I was hoping it would never become relevant, but you have a right to know and I do not hide from my problems.

[Deep breath.]

I lived most of my life in Gigas. What I know of that place is limited to that known by a lowly servitor, but I will tell you that which I can, since it seems they are forcing their way back into my life once again.

But we cannot let their way of life take root in Caldera.

[Action; Verdant Forest]

[Anyone who's been out into the forest lately has probably seen Chie doing some intensive training with her Pokemon recently.  She's been working hard polishing her moves and following Morgiana's lessons in preparation to join the Swords of the Savior.  After a brisk jog with some weights around her ankles, she decides to push herself a little and try to kick rocks apart with her bare feet.  She started with wood and has gotten pretty good at it, but something inside her is telling her that it's time.]

Haaaaaaaaaah...!

[The first kick collides with the large boulder she's set up in front of her.  A small crack appears, and Chie reels back from the recoil, the bottom of her foot bleeding just slightly.  Not enough.  Gotta try again.  Refocusing, she lashes out with the other foot this time.]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...!

[The crack deepens as Chie opens another gash in her foot.  Gritting her teeth and falling to her knees, she rests for a moment before giving it one more try.  Her Pokemon have all stopped their own training, a hush falling over them as they watch their friend.]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[And with a loud cry, Chie spins powerfully in place, delivering a roundhouse kick directly down the center of the crack she'd formed with her previous two attacks.  There's a rush of energy that feels more like all the heat leaving the clearing at once as her foot impacts the boulder - a thin layer of frost forms on the plant life for a moment, and the boulder freezes solid beneath the pressure of her kick before shattering into a thousand tiny ice crystals, breaking apart in the air and drifting to the ground like a fine sparkly mist.  For her own part, Chie flops backward onto the forest floor, breathing heavily.  Little puffs of air can be seen from her mouth, as if it were the middle of winter, and she just lays there smiling and laughing.]


...I did it!  I really did it!

[Video]

[Later on, Chie takes to the airwaves to celebrate her victory.  Oddly, she's bundled up in a coat and a scarf, despite the fact that it's the middle of spring.  And once again, her breath is visible on the feed as she's talking.]

Hey!  I think I evolved!  I was training in the forest, and I felt this... sudden rush right before I let loose with a kick.  Everything got really cold, and then the rock I was training on turned to solid ice and shattered!  It was awesome!

[She gesticulates wildly with her arms to punctuate her story as she excitedly recounts what happened.]


Good timing, too!  School's out now, so at the end of this week I'm joining the Swords of the Savior.  If I make it through the next three weeks of training, I'll be a full member!  Wish me luck, everyone!

[In so much as one can call one of Ingrid's extended training sessions "leave." She lets that simple, straightforward remark linger briefly, then adds:]

As usual, I'm available to help with heavy lifting when I'm not otherwise preoccupied. If you're in need of such services, feel free to contact me via warp band.

[There's another pause, before:]

...I assume nothing major has happened within the past week or two, but if I'm mistaken, I'd also appreciate it if someone brought me up to speed.

flying_chains: (These chains help me fly)
[personal profile] flying_chains
Who: Morgiana, Chie Satonaka
What: Fighting and bonding training!
Where: A clearing just outside the city walls
When: Mid-afternoon on a sunny day
Warning: Nothing to worry about here. Just cute.

Once upon a time, Morgiana had met another Fanalis. He hadn't spoken much, because that sort of fraternization was discouraged where she had come from, but he had taught her the basics of how to fight in a way that no normal human could manage. Once she had the basics down, he had been sent away, but it had been enough for her purpose.

Now, hundreds of miles away and years later, Morgiana was going to try and teach someone else what she knew. She had no idea of a non-Fanalis COULD do the things she could, but she was going to give it a shot.

So she stood patiently in a clearing just beyond the walls of Union. The ground was hard packed earth with a few patches of grass, the walls were still visible over the treetops, and there were a few large rocks lying around. She had told Chie when to arrive, but had arrived fifteen minutes early herself. In her old life tardiness had been discouraged, and old habits died hard.

It has been suggested that I might make a good delver, but I only have a vague idea of what the position entails. Are there any delvers that I might speak to about this? He who recommended this profession specifically mentioned a Sir Ezreal for this purpose.

[Action]

It seems like most of the people in this city have Pokemon as friends. Not wanting to be left out, Morgiana has gone to see about trying to befriend one herself. You might find her in a park, where her latest efforts have her approaching a Sewaddle in a crouch, trying to look as non-threatening as possible. The Sewaddle looks up at her blankly as she slowly extends her hand towards it.

"Hello."

The Sewaddle's response is to immediately chomp down on her fingers. Morgiana flinches, then shakes the bug type off in alarm. The Sewaddle promptly escapes into the underbrush, leaving the poor girl to suck on her injured fingers.

"Ow."

By the bandages around several of her other fingers, this is not the first time today that this has happened.

At around 8 in the morning, a shooting star landed outside of Union's front gates. It left no crater, and didn't even make a lot of noise, but still attracted a fair amount of attention.

Anyone coming to investigate would find a young girl with red hair and a simple dress lying on the ground as if asleep, along with a set of shattered shackles. At the sound of another person approaching, she sat up and blinked a few times, looking around curiously.

[Later, video. The strange girl bows formally before the camera.]

For taking me in when I had nothing, I offer my sincerest thanks. As repayment, I wish to make myself useful, and so I also offer my services in whatever manner you would find useful.

My name is Morgiana.
