Nexus Heroes

[TCELESBHSUP]

Utter terror gripped the Aasimar as her shadow warped. She was safe with her Lady, but... Had She disappeared? Everything had fallen so dark, and this... This creature. That was not her shadow. That was not her in the slightest. She attempted to crawl backwards a bit, quite irrationally, as the doppleganger slowly formed. And then, she was wreathed in such glorious flame. Her Lady's own protection. It brought her great joy, as though she were being embraced by Sarenrae Herself. She was safe and secure- her faith brought her protection, as it always did before.

And soon, the dream faded. She awoke... With her sister's head between her breasts. She gasped, jumping back and grabbing at her bedroll, trying to cover herself. "K-Kassy!" She was flushed a deep red, quite embarrassed with having woken up to that. Did she do that intentionally?!

[Goryokaku]

Kal watched the hours pass, the suns didn't look like they were planning to set any time soon, this was going to be a problem she was already boiling and had already been forced to sit back in the barrel 4 times to re-hydrate. "I don't think their going to set any time soon and we have no idea how long the air is going to be like that, didn't Bia mention something about being able to share the abilities with each other?" Kal looked over the data in her CAPE, to see if there was indeed a way to share.

[Motoko]

Kasidra yawns and smiles to her sister, chuckling a bit at her reaction, puffs of smoke flowing from her nostrils as she giggle "Oh relax sister~" she would say giving yet another stretch, the smooth scales of her nude form displayed and bared for her sister to see. "what are you celibate?" she would say making sure her sister was getting the full view of her sexy frame, her glowing eyes tracing up and down her sisters form " Its not like I meant that to happen anyway."

[TCELESBHSUP]

Well. She was celibate... Now? She wasn't so sure. Rhialla supposed that she still was so long as she adhered to it from this point on, though she truly did have to forsake that vow at the time. As her Lady had said... She had compromised herself in order to succeed. Which, in itself, was a problem. "I... I can never really tell with you, sister..." She sighed lightly, before slowly standing and beginning to don her armour once more within the tent. Naturally, she had seen her sister's body, but it was just that. Her sister. "You've really developed since you've been gone... I remember you being like a twig back then!"

Once she was finished with her armour, she would step out of the tent, checking her own CAPE. Kal's thoughts were her own- there was a way to share these abilities, right? Bia herself had said so. Perhaps she could share her own ability... She could see that it was still as bright and hot as before outside, and wasn't showing any signs of cooling. So, despite how embarrassing it might be for the group... They would have to use her ability.

Garian continued watching the flames, going to the cool water to get himself a cup of it in his flask before coming back to watch the spectacle, he wasn't in much hurry to run out into the flames, so he'll just wait until the suns go down so that they can run across it's mostly barren land.

[Motoko]

Kasidra sighs softly, her question had pretty much been answered. She nodded at her sisters comment running a clawed hand up her side from her pert rear to the swell of her bust "Very true sister~" she would say, soon dawning her own clothes and stepping out of the tent, holding her arm out with two clicks of her tongue, she would gice sonya a kiss on the beak. The bird looked a bit surprised but none the less happy "Wow, In a good mood I see~" the bird would say, to which Kasidra would nod "good dream. get some rest though.." Sonya nodded dipping her head down, she would crawl under her mistresses robes.

[That_One_Guy]

Garian watched this and chuckled, "Hope you lot don't mind if I get some sleep now, would ya?" He said, "Been up quiet a long while without sleep. First the Elementals, then the Chameleons, and now 4 hours of the earth on fire..." He said, "But the good news is that there wasn't anything that attacked us." He laughed and started off.

[TCELESBHSUP]

"Of course, Garian. I'm sorry for being so selfish." The Aasimar bowed politely. While he had offered to keep watch, and she had accepted, it still didn't sit right with her. However, she continued to fiddle with her CAPE, trying her best to figure the damned thing out... She had no knowledge of how such technology even worked, but she was doing her absolute best to figure it out on the fly. She needed to know! Both how it functioned- or at least, how to use it- and if she could share her ability granted to her by the Ifrit. If so, how?

[That_One_Guy]

Garian sighs, taking a look at the Cape that Rhialla has been fiddlling with and decided to press a button or two on it before he walked off, "If you need me, I'm going to go to bed, I don't want to collapse during our walk through the desert." He said and went into his tent, taking off his armour again, and falling asleep, his weapon leaning against his armor.

[Taria]

After a few auspicious twiddles and beeps, Rhialla activates some kind of scanning function and the CAPE reads back that this environment is "very positive" for "inoculation". Then ToG walks by and presses random buttons out of nowhere before promptly quitting and going to bed. Everyone's CAPEs currently seem to be chirping in response to Rhialla's.

[TCELESBHSUP]

"Very positive for inoculation...?" Rhialla questioned, blinking. She didn't know at all what that meant. Nor did she understand why Garian started pressing buttons on her CAPE. Was he trying to do something with it? Oh well, it didn't matter. She assumed that 'inundation' meant that she could indeed transfer her ability. "... Umm... Okay. After interacting with the elementals earlier... Did anyone else undergo... Changes...?" She asked softly, sounding almost embarrassed.

[Goryokaku]

Kal's CAPE had begun chirping when Garian had fiddled with Rhialla's CAPE. She wasn't sure what it wanted but the inoculation comment sounded like something medical. "My CAPE is responding to what ever the hell your CAPE is doing." Which as far as Kal could see was trying to be inoculated for this plane.

[MiscChaos]

Suzu grumbles a bit as she forces her eyes open. She was supposed to do something... something about Rhialla. She thinks she was supposed to wake up to forcibly change guard shifts? Sounds about right. Well, she probably fucked that up, so time to do what she can. She exits her tent to find that the desert outside is on fire. "Wait, what the hell?" She asks, understandably confused and freaked out about the change. Then she sees Giant Chameleon pieces all over the cave and repeats her question, this time a bit more numb. "I slept through something kinda amazing, didn't I?"

Shaking her head, she hears Rhialla's question. "Change? Well, I almost flew, but that's about it. I wonder if I could try it again..." She trails off, thinking about it more.

[Motoko]

Kasidra watches the scorched desert for awhile, while everyone else were fiddling with strange devices that they were calling capes though obviously they had to be blind...those weren't capes..."the hell is this?" She'd asking gripping her sisters arm and pulling the device closer so she could inspect it "This is certainly not a cape..." she says with a slightly annoyed growl. How the hell was she supposed to know its an abbreviation?

[TCELESBHSUP]

"Umm... Compact Automated Plane Encoder- CAPE, sister..." Rhialla softly explained, looking between everyone. "Well... I guess that I should tell you all what I was given. Or, better yet..." She fiddled with the CAPE, trying her best to transfer her ability and its data or some such to the others. "... You could read about it. It seems perfect for this situation, since we have to get moving soon... And we don't know how long the day will last, let alone the night... Or if there even is a night."

[Motoko]

Kasidra frowned and then rummaged through her backpack, pulling out the same device looking at it curiously "Oh so that is what it was.." she said absently, she had grabbed one just before heading to meet up with her sister it looked expensive and nice enough so she just decided to take it. It still seemed pretty useless in her opinion. "meh." she shrugs and observes her own with a still frowning "sounds like an over complicated name. I'm not surprised you Numbskulls have no idea how to use it."

[Taria]

Rhialla notices nothing other than a slowly loading colored bar that fill more and more over time. Though, at the rate this is going, it could take a few hours.

[TCELESBHSUP]

"... It's going really slowly..." She gave a soft sigh, shaking her head. Rhialla took a few steps over to Suzu, looking pretty desperate for entertainment. It was well-known that she couldn't just sit around for more than a few hours without something to do, and there were no real wounds to tend. She certainly couldn't pray at present, what with how her religious practices worked. "Suzu, can you, umm..." She didn't know what Suzu could do, really!

"Oh!" She snapped her fingers and smiled. "We still need to catch up proper! Perhaps you could tell me about your journeys?"

[Motoko]

Kasidra rolls her eyes at her sister. Giving another stretch as she watches this firestorm rage. She follows her sister,after a few more moments and sits down near Suzu and her. Reaching into her bag she pulls out her scroll making materials and gets to work writing one up while she listens to the bard and her sister converse. Might as well make the most of her time. her tail snakes its way to rhi's ankle....She used to do that often when her and her sister would go out into public together to make sure she didn't lose her. That and to make sure other children wouldn't throw stones at her. they wouldn't dare hit an angel spawn. But a demon's spawn? that was free game.

[MiscChaos]

"Right! Not like we're going anywhere with the desert on fire anyway." Suzu says with a slight smile. Then she looks up into the air in thought. "Hmm... which story to tell. There's just so many to choose from! Life's never boring for a traveling bard after all!" She begins tilting her head to the sides, trying to sift through her memories for a good story to tell her friend. "Oh! There was one time I accidentally created a town orgy! Oh, wait, that's probably not a good story to tell a priest. But I think you can probably handle it." Suzu gives Rhialla a teasing smile before continuing on. "Anyway, I'd been traveling for like a week and stumbled into this town in the frickin' boonies! I needed to restock on rations and such anyways, so I put my clothes back on, did I mention I travel nude when it's too hot? Well, I do. The breeze is usually wonderful and if I happen to meet someone on the way who's a little too forward then I can either sweet talk 'em into leaving me alone long enough for me to get away or make sure they don't have anything to bother me with. Anywho, I go into this town and everyone's kinda shocked to see me. Like they don't get visitors often. They got even better once they found out I was a bard since they had almost nothing in the form of entertainment. So I agreed to play 'em a few tunes, sing 'em a few songs for some pocket change and a room for the night. Or week, I didn't know how long I wanted to be around there. So the first few days go swimmingly, but then I messed up. At the time, I was kinda new to casting magic and playing my harp at the same time, so I sometimes accidentally did it without noticing. I was also playing around with this spell that causes horrible lust, just because it seemed useful. You see where this is going, right? I cast the spell while I was playing and next thing I know, some chick tackles some dude and is tearing his clothes off. Some dude pretty much bull dozes me, but I managed to fling him into his daughter or something. Long story short, everyone within ear shot ended up banging someone else. Didn't matter if they were family or hated each other, they were pants off, fuckin' like animals. Dunno what happened after that since I kinda slipped out in the chaos. Last I heard, the population hit a sudden boom..."
