Cliodhna Eoghan

*points to her sig* >//u//<

newwww artsssss o3o this is what i did while waiting for the maintenance to be over with.

Hurriedly, Cliodhna was ushered from her chair and through the Commanding Officer's door; Nivivi giving it a quick knock and a gentle shove that made Cliodhna take a step inside before given permission. Just as quickly the door was shut behind her. Letting her arms hang behind her back; Cliodhna laced her fingers together while remaining mindful of the still drying polish. "Um....You wanted to see me Ma'am?" She asked softly, head lowered with her hair hiding her features from view. Biting her bottom lip Cliodhna could take a guess why the Flame Captain wanted to see her. With Garrett dead, she was the only known contact in their possession that might have more useful information regarding the Imperials.

Hihi.....Soooo I've already been playing the game/posting in here for a few weeks now but finally decided to take a moment and do a semi-formal introduction. (What with the game being down atm and all. T^T ) Anyyyywayyyy; I like to think I'm fairly open and friendly so if you fancy a random chat, don't hesitate to get my attention. Random facts: I've been rping for about 13 years now. I cut my teeth on White Wolf tabletop and a fantasy based original story on IRC. Since then I've done looots of forum based posting (with things usually ranging from original story fantasy to loosely series based on a few anime/games here and there. ) I honestly like forum based a bit more because it gives me the option to have more than one character interact at the same time with each other (best example was having to write a break up argument with myself. ) but I'm really enjoying the aspect of getting to rp in game because it provides another level of depth that's providing interesting. Right now I'm kinda light on the rp aspect in game but I'm hoping to get more heavy into it once I can get Clio's backstory cemented a bit better. Otherwise I tend to just randomly jump in when there's an opening and I get the invitation. I'm a horrid cartoon/anime/game junkie. If there's an adventure time marathon; I'll let the whole thing play on my tv all day. >///<; I like to draw and for the past year or so I've been mostly doing Photoshop. My skills aren't great but I'm slowly improving. Aside from drawing I've done more traditional art (acrylic painting, watercolor painting, charcoal, oil pastels, crayons, colored pencils, shading pencils, ceramics, a few mosaics, some sewing/cosplay, jewelery making with clay and wire/bead work, and some paper mache stuffs.) I have a few things I hoard aggressively collect but my two main collections are anything with Yoshitaka Amano art (Pretty sure I'd have a heart attack if I ever got to meet him :T ) and anything related to The Legend of Zelda series. ...also Hello Kitty stuff.... Not really wanting to make this too long, so I'll cut it there for now but I look forward to making new friends and hanging out with everyone. OuO

Cliodhna sat at the empty chair that had been dragged over to Nivivi's desk. Between the two girls was a rather large platter heavy with various dried meats and fruits along side a picture of chilled water. Once the conversation had shifted from the mystery at hand to more mundane things; Cliodhna had made mention of being brought straight here from Bluefog early this morning. Overly eager to take care of her new friend, Nivivi insisted on procuring some snacks for them to share. Using her free hand Cliodhna reached out for another strip of dried apricot; the other hand held captive by the Lala's tiny one as she painted her nails. Shaking her head a little at the thought, Cliodhna couldn't remember the last time she had worried about having her nails painted but found it amusing so let the other girl continue as she rattled on about whatever current gossip she had overheard in the Flame Hall.

You have nothing to worry about from their room till he's an adult again.....much to Erik's dismay

Chocobo kisses and more animal buddies. Getting sacrificed to Ifrit isn't high on the priority list today...lol bye guys!!! ;D Halloween shenanigans. Jandelaine expressing his gratitude for helping him.

Beach date <3 A quiet moment Clio already told Erik she's not into kids, buuuut he's still tryin....

Placing a hand over her mouth; Cliodhna's eyes went wide with surprise. "Someone was able to sneak in here without anyone seeing them?" She repeated in a hushed tone. "That's such an unsettling thought.....I hope they catch whoever did this soon." Suppressing a small shiver, Cliodhna crossed her arms to rub her hands over the exposed skin in the short sleeved bodice. She had a warmer top on when in Bluefog, but that had been changed long before returning to Ul'dal in response to the heat.

Bury myself under my hoodie on the couch and watch doctor who.

The highlander's silence said more than enough. Turning her head to look at the slowly passing land, Cliodhna bit the corner of her mouth to hide a small smirk. Garrett's corpse had most likely been discovered and the Watch was most likely going near insane trying to figure out how it happened. No one would suspect the poor soul of a girl that had been marked by the "evil Imperial Empire". Once more in the office, Cliodhna looked over at the Lalafell secretary. "Um....Did something bad happened? I tried to ask Mr. Erik about it....But he wouldn't say anything...." She asked Nivivi, biting her bottom lip worriedly.

WTF, when did you take that?! OnO;;;;

Cliodhna hates her named shortened to "Clio" IC (ooc is fine.) As of right now; only two people have been granted the ability to use that nickname for her. One is living but the other is long dead. She also has a small tattoo that is kept hidden.

I base Clio mostly off Faye Valentine, at least personality-wise.

Climbing from the back and taking a seat on the bench next to Erik; Cliodhna ran her fingers though her hair in attempts to put so order to it. "No....It's alright. I just hope it wasn't too much of a bother for you." She replied, turning her head and blushing a little. To her dismay; the blush was unbidden and arrived at the thought of the Flame carrying her. Shaking her head mentally, Cliodhna forced herself to get a grip and remember what sort of situation she was in. Now was not the time to let something as distracting as silly thoughts cloud her mind. Calming down, she looked back over at Erik, noticing his slight frown. "Um....is everything okay?"

Feeling a familiar touch in her sleep, Cliodhna smiled gently and nuzzled into the arms that carried drowsily; the movements from depositing her into the cart enough to rouse her halfway before settling back into a deeper sleep. The movements of the rolling cart however, was enough to wake her up. Sitting up and running a hand through her blonde tresses; Cliodhna poked her head out the front of the cart. "What's going on?" She sleepily mumbled to Erik. "Did you move me?" Her words ending in a yawn.

Here rests the Captain of the Redwings in his TRUE form. .....and this is me *hides her face*

"I must say, I am impressed with your level of skill, Nightshade. Well done indeed, this deserves a promotion with a rather large pay raise!" Isaurus Van Schermer, Cliodhna's Legate cheered. "Also great job on killing Garrett! He was completely useless and a waste of existence....also he couldn't keep his mouth shut!" "I know! Not to brag or anything, but he was so easy to get rid of." She replied, smiling brightly. All around her everyone was there for Cliodhna's big promotion. As she stood in the large central hall reserved only for the highest military honors; her hands eagerly reaching out for her bag of gil as a hand clapped her on the shoulder. Turning it was her centurion, Justus Tol Dirksen, a piercing glare on his features. "You obtained this wrongfully and you know it, this is my promotion and I won't let you keep it!!" Just as he was about to take the bag of gil; Cliodhna swung out and quickly punched him in the face, the hall erupting in cheers around her. "Hey, little girl, get offa the bir-S-seven hells!!" The guard yelled angrily; a hand going to his eye as it quickly turned purple from Cliodhna's swift and unexpected strike. "Might wanna let them be!" Yelled another Flame before joining in laughing along with the others. Oblivious to the guards around her; she smiled in her sleep as she dreamed.

Moving her hand off his mouth, Cliodhna waited for Garrett to reply. Taking in a shaky lungful of air before speaking, Grrett slowly sat up on the rough plank of wood for a cot. "N-Nightshade!! How d-did? Where?" He exclaimed, his pale blue eyes still wild with fear. "That's not important Garrett, what's important is what i asked you; what did you tell the Watch?" Cliodhna hissed in a threatening tone. Though clearly younger than Garrett by almost ten years, he was under her command. "N-nothing!!! I didn't tell them anything! I swear it!" He quickly spat out, brushing his hair from his eyes nervously. This got only a glaring stare from Cliodhna, arms folded. Both knew he was lying and she waited for him to just tell her. "Well....I only told them a little bit, I had to! They were going to hurt me! You know the guy that was asking the questions, he had such a dead expression on his face but that wasn't the worst; then the bastard smiled and it was scary! Like he enjoyed doing this sort of shit for a living!!" Garrett blurted out, hands covering his face as he cowered over in the cot. "...He smiled and you told him?" She repeated slowly, unbelieving his level of cowardice. "You- No....Just, just tell me what you told him so far so I can clean your mess up...." Cliodhna replied, placing two fingers to her temple in attempts to stave off a headache, the other hand waved flippantly for Garret to continue. After a few more minutes of dealing with Garrett sniffling and all but sobbing over his confession; Cliodhna was informed that he told them the location of the current mining crew north of Bluefog, not the now empty one northeast that Cliodhna had directed the flames to. "Godsdamnit, you idiot." She hissed through clenched teeth. "The idea is to keep the mine going while our team gathered intel about any upcoming attacks; not point out the exact position we hold on a map!" Taking in a slow breath through her nose, she waved the midlander up. "Come on, let's get you released. Go check the door." Slowly Garrett uncovered his face and stared at Cliodhna a long moment with tear stained cheeks. He couldn't believe his good luck; she was actually going to help him out of here. Thinking for sure she he was a lost cause, Garrett nearly skipped to the door and peeked through the small opening.Thankfully, she hadn't found out he had also given the scary highlander her codename and pointed her as leader. Suddenly he felt a somewhat hard knock to the head. "Oww...What was that for?" Garrett whined, turning to Cliodhna while rubbing the spot she hit. As Garrett happily looked out the small door slot, Clodhna had been gathering the aether around her hand as it clenched into a fist, swinging out she rounded and clocked him right in the back of the head. Smiling sweetly, she crossed her arms again when questioned. "Because Garrett. You know too much and I promised to release you...." Chuckling at Garrett as he staggered. Almost curiously, she watched him lean against the wall before slipping down it; coughing up a glob of ruby colored blood as the same blood pooled in his eyes. Kneeling down she grabbed a fist full of hair and held his head up to look into his quickly dimming eyes. "Should have kept your mouth shut and taken the scary man's smile." She scoffed, dropping her grip on the now dead midlander and dusting her hands off. After another few locks picked and empty hallways as the Lala had promised; Cliodhna was in the Flame Captain's office. Her eyes and fingers quickly shuffling through as many papers as she could find, looking for any and all information on upcoming attacks, intel gathering on their end, and anything else she could find of use. Feeling she had enough for the moment, Cliodhna made her way back to Garrett's cell; hopping over the dead body as a child would play hopscotch before slipping out the window and back to Fury. Sitting atop the Chocobo keep, she hefted a rather large roof tile in her hand and aimed. Dropping it square on the Chocobo porter's head before jumping from the roof and entering the building. He had just unlocked the door and was intending on feeding the birds but it was time for her and Fury to leave. He'd wake a little while later, dazed and questioning the durability of the building's roof. Leading the red bird out, she swung into the saddle and rode off back to Bluefog as fast as she could. "We made it Fury, you were such a good boy!" She praised sleepily, tethering the bird once again to his post and quickly removing the saddle. Ducking inside the cart; Clidohna placed her outfit from earlier back on and let her hair down before emerging with brush in hand. Intent on cleaning the brambles from the now sleeping chocobo's feathers. Once the last of them were cleared away, she curled up next to the bird and drifted to sleep with her arms draped over him and her face nuzzled into his wing.

...The people I'm playing with (both IC and OOC) make allowances for any noob sins I commit. TuT

Perched on the wagon's bench once more; Cliodhna nodded and offered Erik a small, tight smile. "I'll be okay here...Just be careful please, those men are scary." Shivering a bit, she closed her eyes momentarily before regaining her composure and waving the two men off. Once they were out of sight, she ducked into the back of the cart once again. From the looks of it earlier; the guards were mostly asleep at their posts and would be easy to slip by. Smirking to herself, Cliodhna emerged from the wagon, hair tied back tightly and dressed more appropriately for hard travel. "Fury...Pretty bird, nice bird....Come here good boy, we have to take a small trip..." Speaking sweetly to the large animal, fistful gysahl greens held out for him.

Posting so I can keep track of this for later when I have enough gil to blow. I will say your art is stunning and I love the lines the most. >u<

Glaring and biting back a string of insults, Cliodhna forced a wide-eyed expression of fear and summoned a blush to her cheeks before wrestling out of Cian's arms. Regaining her balance, she skirted around him and behind Erik, once more grabbing the back of his shirt. Clearly this was a friend and most likely another Flame but thankfully he didn't seem that smart if he passed her off so easily for a plaything. "You're going already?" Asking in a soft voice, Cliodhna gripped the fabric just a hair tighter. Inside she was laughing, the time they arrived would make little difference, that mine should have been cleared out of their men ages ago. The two of them would spend all day crawling around in empty mine tunnels with nothing to show for it.
