a big black dong in the sky [OPEN] - Ianto - 04-05-2019 Okay. Okay so. He'd met Roana. He knew that she was serious about the whole... people coming from Northaven and all other places and whatever and... it... yeah, okay. He had to believe her. She was there wasn't she? But still, Ianto had reserved his judgement for when he could see what she meant. He knew to stay the heck away from what lay within, as the winged folk called it, but it hadn't stopped him from sleuthing around the outskirts of the place before. Only... this time, when he stepped out from the dense treeline at dawn - at the first dawn since whatever had happened within the Hollowed Ground had happened - there was a colossal dick in the sky. [say]"Well,"[/say] Ianto said quietly, his pipe already between his lips as he fought to light it. [say]"Fuck me, the captain was right."[/say] Suddenly he had the urge to get very drunk. Or to laugh giddily. Time for both, he supposed. Glancing over his shoulder for said captain, he called out to her. [say]"So this is really where you've been all this time?"[/say] RE: a big black dong in the sky [OPEN] - Roana - 04-05-2019 Roana stood behind her newfound friend and guide...her brother depending on who you asked (she had enough actual brothers anyways, what was one more?). But she did not respond right away. She stood agape, a hand lifted to cover her mouth, blue eyes wide and teary. There it was... the Spire... unobscured. [say]"They did it..."[/say] she breathed, her voice barely more than a whisper. A few tears rolled down her cheeks as her hand fell, revealing the wide open-mouthed smile beneath. [say]"They did it!! Yes, YES!!"[/say] she said, shouting and laughing at the end. She whooped and punched her fist in the air like the soldier she was, proud to see what they had accomplished. Freedom. They, not including herself, because she had not brought the barrier down herself after all. Though it had been her charge, it did not matter in the end. Ronin had not died in vain. His wish had been seen through. That, in the end, was all that mattered. The Hollowed Grounds...it looked like a scar, surrounded by the lush vibrant beauty of the forest around them. Blighted. Uninhabitable. Anyone who dared say any innocent person or creature somehow deserved to suffer in there could fight her. [say]"Yes. And many of the native people too...but there are no Fae in there. All human or ascended."[/say] Roana said, damn near giddy. [say]"We should go find people, they will need your help. My sister-in-law and sons are in there....Remi and Aoife and Ashetta and Vai..."[/say] she stopped and laughed a bit, shaking her head as she got ahead of herself.

RE: a big black dong in the sky [OPEN] - Ianto - 04-06-2019 Ianto couldn't help but grin broadly as he watched the former captain emerge from the trees and take in the sight of the Hollowed Grounds, out from beneath its veil. He laughed with her as she celebrated, shaking his head slowly. [say]"I still can't believe this place was here, behind that barrier all this time. It's..."[/say] Unreal, he wanted to say. It would be, if he hadn't seen a great deal weirder in his time in the Greatwood. [say]"What is an Ascended?"[/say] Ianto asked. It was unfortunate that Roana wouldn't have time to properly answer the question now, and the fox missed the very important names she was giving him, but someone was approaching and his eyes snapped to them. And when he realised who it was, a frown flickered over his face and he subtly adjusted his stance to... well, to put himself behind Roana. He wasn't a fighter, and whilst being out here alone had tempered his courage somewhat, Ashe still scared the shit out of him. [say]"Ah,"[/say] he said, somewhat awkwardly. [say]"You are here."[/say] RE: a big black dong in the sky [OPEN] - Roana - 04-06-2019 [say]"An abomination."[/say] Roana said quietly, finishing Ianto's sentence. [say]"Just look at it compared to everything else...all because of a war that was never even finished."[/say] But it would have to be now. The Voice would be released. Certainly she would try to rise up again, as all those seeking power do. But maybe, just maybe, she could help bring this era of darkness to a close. Three-hundred years was more than long enough for any deities to come up with a more permanent solution to their problems. And if they hadn't...well. She had found a way out of the Spire. She would find a way to bring an end to this war too. At his question she just laughed lightly and shook her head. Of course he had missed some of the things she said. [say]"The bloodfiends that are made physically rather than reborn with magic."[/say] she said in reminder, just before she heard her name called out. Blue eyes scanned the space in front of them, and she smiled a little (for once) at who she saw. [say]"Hello, Ashetta."[/say] she said calmly, glancing at Ianto with a raised brow as he coward behind her. [say]"As one does, I jumped through a portal in the basement. I thought it was the power source to the barrier but ended up on the other side of it instead."[/say] she explained, glancing between Ianto and here. [say]"You two know each other I take it?"[/say] RE: a big black dong in the sky [OPEN] - Ashetta - 04-09-2019
RE: a big black dong in the sky [OPEN] - Ianto - 04-13-2019 [say]"I have, yeah."[/say] Ianto nodded to Ashetta's question from his very safe position standing behind Roana. Unfortunately he would likely need to be told a third time about the Spire and the Voice and these new Bloodfiends, because the assassin's sudden appearance had stolen all of his attention. Frowning ever so slightly as she brought up Warren, he glanced to Roana as if wondering why she wasn't... y'know, arresting Ashe or whatever other captainy duties she might have. [say]"No others out here, not from Northaven. It's just been me, since I arrived in Leafchange. The forest belongs to the Fae, though."[/say] As Roana would well know, from her interactions with the winged folk so far. [say]"What do you want?"[/say] It came out a touch sharply, but then he didn't want to have anything to do with Ashe given half a chance. RE: a big black dong in the sky [OPEN] - Roana - 04-14-2019 Roana glanced between Ashe and Ianto. Yep. There was some uncomfortable history here. She shrugged a bit with a small smile at Ashetta's comment. The least she could do was remain positive to try and negate some of the bad vibes that this interaction had going for it. [say]"Well ya know, every time I try and martyr myself for the good of the people Death can't seem to make it happen. One of these days its bound to be beam of energy and not a portal."[/say] Roana joked. She didn't exactly take her own mortality lightly, nor was she rushing to die; but at a certain point you have enough near death experiences that the thought of death simply stops being terrifying. The former captain crossed her arms and listed quietly as Ashetta described the events that led up to the fall of the barrier. [say]"You all did good then."[/say] she said with an approving smile. She hadn't cared that she didn't bring the barrier down herself, just that it happened. [say]"Did the voice say anything?"[/say] Roana asked, wanting to know what she might have missed. At Ianto's mention of the Fae she nodded. [say]"Yes, the Fae are not to be taken lightly either. They seem rather distrusting, and if it wasn't for Ianto I would definitely be dead by their hands. We should make sure to warn the people here."[/say] she said more seriously to Ashetta. [say]"The woods are treacherous too. Ianto here knows how to get through them, and as we begin to try make sense of things, I have offered him my protection since he is literally our only guide."[/say] She said, giving him a small smile. With it made clear that Roana would protect Ianto, perhaps he would feel more comfortable. RE: a big black dong in the sky [OPEN] - Ashetta - 04-20-2019
RE: a big black dong in the sky [OPEN] - Ianto - 04-21-2019 Ianto had no problem lingering behind Roana, appreciative for the confirmation that she would offer protection should he need it. Still, he couldn't help but seem bemused by the easy conversation between captain and assassin, and the fox buried his hands in his pockets so they could speak freely. He arched an eyebrow at the sight of a fucking unicorn, though admittedly it was hardly the strangest thing he had seen since he'd been dropped into the woods. Oh, but then Ashe was talking about all of them heading into the Hollowed Grounds, and Ianto had already noped out in his mind before she finished her sentence. With a roguish little bow, he shook his head in polite decline. Helping Roana was one thing, and perhaps if it hadn't been the Assassin in Blue offering to accompany them, he'd have considered it. Unfortunately, it was. And he was having no part of it. [say]"You ought to go back,"[/say] he murmured to Roana. [say]"Get your bearings. My place is here in the forest. If you need me, just come out and call me, okay?"[/say] He made no explanation about just how that would work, but... well, nothing entirely made sense here, did it? |
