Shas

More RP/random shots

Random shots, and creep shots

o_________O;;;; when was this taken???? Wouldn't you like to know? 8-) Actually it was taken only a few minutes before I originally posted it.

Closest I could get, good enough.

Not my fault an unnamed Nunh can't do it first. Warren always has my wife sit on his rocks.... (at grindstone) Letting your wife sit on Warren's rocks....got a divorce lawyer right up the block. Clio's taking everything though.

The verdict's in. If Ala Mhigo is next, Shas is definitely making her way up there.

Sultansworn: Barbie Edition Aaaand creep shot....because why not

Shas nodded to Coatleque before she went down the hallway and lingered only a moment longer to ensure no one would suddenly come out of nowhere and ambush her. At this point, Shas was not willing to take any chances or unnecessary risks. She started making her way down the opposite end of the hallway keeping a hand on the short blade hidden beneath her cloak. Making her way through the building she took note on the amount of effort it must have taken to turn the row of dwellings into one large building without anyone being suspicious of how or why. She continued to make her way through remaining as silent as possible and keeping her focus on the task at hand. Coming across several closed and open rooms, she checked each one quickly and thoroughly to ensure they were completely empty. Even with all the commotion going on outside, she expected to run into some resistance on the inside. "Leave it to the Sworn to be the ones sneaking into a building." She silently silently said to herself as she continued her search and stopped short of an open room with dim lighting coming out of it. Quickly pressing her back against the wall, Shas continued to make her way towards it until she could hear several voices coming from it. As she got closer she could make out the voices more clearly and at first thought that there were at least two men in the room until she heard the obvious slurred speech of a third, probably one who had too much to drink that evening. Taking advantage of the lighting coming out of the room, she glanced at two shadows coming out of it and noted their position. Most likely they were the two that she heard speaking at first, with the third probably too drunk to stand. She decided to move in closer to peer inside the room before making her move, to determine what she would be up against and the they were armed with. As she took a quick peek inside the room she saw one was armed with a short sword and a crude wooden shield with another armed with a long spear. She had also noticed the third man in the room who decided to relieve himself in the far off corner. She figured the third one to be the drunkard she heard earlier. She brought her head back and rolled her eyes as she drew her blade preparing to make her move. "And people question my preferences." She thought to herself as she heard the sound of a body collapsing in the room. "You boys are making this too easy...." She mused silently and grinned as she heard the noise and took that moment to charge into the room. For a woman her size she managed to rush in quickly and silently coming up behind the closest of the two and bringing the butt of her blade to the back of the mans head quickly dispatching him before moving on to the second man in the room. The second man in the room, the spear user, barely had time to react as he was laughing over the collapsed body of his drunken comrade when heard the impact of Shas' blade over the other mans head and his body dropping to the floor. He hastily readied his spear and struck at her in desperation, leaving himself open as Shas sidestepped the strike and and moved in to swiftly bring her knee into the mans stomach. She had only used enough force to knock the wind out of him and bring him to his knees as she brought her blade up to his throat. She calmly looked over second man she had subdued and kept her blade firmly at his neck as a brief hint of red flashed from her eyes as she spoke to him. "How many of you are left in this building and where? Speak quickly and silently....you only get one chance." The man looked up at Shas and seemed to be in complete fear as he struggled to answer her. "J-just c-couple more. B-b-bout two or four more maybe." "Where....?" She responded as she narrowed her eyes applying a bit more force to the mans neck with her blade. "Down the hallway, in the m-mess hall probably." The man continued on as he pointed in the direction Shas had came from. "Thank you....pray that you are speaking the truth...." Shas slightly grinned as she brought her blade back and struck at the bridge of the mans nose with the butt of it and grabbing him by his hair to slam his face down into a near by table for good measure. Once she was sure that all three men in the room were incapacitated she took a quick glance around and noticed several crates stacked about. An eyebrow was raised as she attempted to pry open one of the crates with her blade. Upon opening it, a frown formed on her face and she narrowed her eyes as she discovered the contents. "Limsan firearms...almost look like Maelstrom issue, pretty damn close....hells, worry about this later." She proceeded to exit the room as quickly as she entered and looked further down the hall, realizing it lead to a dead end. "Alright....back the way I came then...." She made her back to where Coatleque and herself had entered earlier and continued on in the direction the younger woman had went, hoping to catch up with her in case she had ran into trouble. Going further down, she came across a dimly light room with the smell of stale ale and noticed an unconscious figure lying face down in the hallway. Upon further inspection of she suspected was the mess hall, she noted the second man lying motionless on the ground and flashed a quick smirk before moving on to continue her search. Seeming satisfied that she had not come across any further resistance, Shas started to make her way towards the front of the building and could hear the sounds of the ensuing chaos outside as she got closer. She noticed Coatleque beginning to open the front door and made her way over as the younger Sworn was letting the member of Dauntless to come through. "We're all clear so far. Found three in the direction I went, one is passed out drunk, and the other two were taken care of." At that moment she felt a strong trembling and heard the beginning of a loud explosion as she quickly glanced around looking for the source. "What in the bloody hells was that?" She yelled out, completely unaware of what was to come next.

Shas made her way through Pearl Lane taking quick and random glances of the buildings and certain places of interest. She was already convinced of how things were going to play out and made it a point to memorize key areas. Recalling the earlier meeting with the Dauntlesss alongside Ser Crofte, she planned on taking no chances. She continued making her through Pearl Lane before deciding to head back towards the Sapphire Avenue exchange, keeping a watchful eye out for anything or anyone that would catch her attention. Before she finally departed Pearl Lane she did take note of some individuals whom she believed would more than likely be part of Scythe's gang. She headed towards the direction of her marks while maintaining her distance, only getting close to enough to make them out more clearly. "Well, well, well...wha' exactly do we have here? Hmmm...I wonder if ye might be th' boys we've been looking for. Old Shas is definitely goin' tae remember this lot here..." Not being one to leave anything to chance, she continued to observe from a distance. Taking in the features of those she was watching, memorizing their faces, attire and any other identifying marks that would make them easier to spot in the near future. While she was making her observations, she thought back to her younger days living in Ala Mhigo. Remembering the things taught to her by her mother, the plans that were made for her before she was even born. A small scowl formed across her face while she continued watching the group, starting to recite the words her mother spoke to her. "Remember that your defeat can only come by having your reason for attacking removed. But also know that holds true for those against you. Keep in mind, that the best asset you have at your disposal is your mind. Any other weapon you could possess will always pale in comparison. You must keep your heart strong, and your mind even stronger." Shas took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, taking one final glance before deciding it was time to move on and report back on what she had seen. As much as she wished against it, her mind was still convinced on what would happen next. She knew exactly what she would have to do, what she needed to do. A bloodbath was expected and she had no intention of missing out on it, nor did she intend on coming unprepared. "Thanks mom....even in death...you're still right. I know exactly wha' this is goin' tae cost...an' I can live with tha'......I CAN live with that." Before making her way back to the Dauntless HQ, Shas decided to make a short stop at her Company room in the barracks. She took one step through the door and noticed how quiet it was compared to a few days prior. She removed an intricate red and gold bracelet from her left wrist and looked over it carefully before tossing it to the side. She remembered less than a moon prior giving a matching bracelet to her former lover and realized that she would never lay eyes on her again. She then started to remove a choker from her neck and stopped just short of unlatching it. She remembered a young teenage girl who some would see as being a shorter and younger version of herself. She also remembered the day she received the choker from the younger girl, the same day she came back into her life several cycles after the Calamity. Shas would take one more look at the red and gold bracelet she set aside and began to fidget with the choker still placed around her neck. She was even more convinced at this point of what was needed to be done, of what more would be lost if she failed. She kept her gaze upon the bracelet and spoke to it as if she was speaking to the one she gave it to. "I'm sorry...I failed you....but I will not fail her or anyone else. Whatever it takes, whomever needs to be dealt with, I will not fail them....no matter the cost. I can only hope and pray the others will forgive me....hmmmm. If not...oh well, it wont change anything regardless..." Shas turned and made her towards the door she came through grabbing a longblade from a nearby weapons rack before she departed to make her report on the days activities. She had no doubt in her mind that those affected by this seemingly never ending blood fued would never truly be the same again. She knew that she could never go back to the way things were before, and started to feel some relief at that knowledge. A small smirk formed across her face as she made her way through the Goblet to her destination while silently speaking to herself. "Welcome back, old Sharla....it's about damn time...."

A few shots of Shas' little one in Limsa.

Totally paying attention to whatever it is Scarlet is saying >_>

Definitely count Shas in for support of this idea.

Banned for not having shorts that you can't get that you want. <_

A good chance Shas will be there. Just depends on her condition over the next few days.

Hugs Leanne and takes fancy hat.

"I'm clearly how you're going to end up back up eventually." The younger girl says to Shas as she looks over to the pregnant woman and smirks. The pregnant woman just rolls her eyes and starts shaking her head slowly. The younger girl chuckles a bit and motions her head towards the pregnant woman. "See, she doesn't like it when I say that. Let me ask you something, both of you actually. Which one of us survived the fall, hmmm? Who was it that survived an assassination attempt at nine years old and made an example of the would be assailant? Which one of us survived Cartenau, or that bloody mess up in Coerthas last year? Mmhmm, yeah...that's what I thought. It sure as hells wasn't a naive pregnant woman, or some high and mighty Paladin pretending to be someone and something they're not. It was me...it's always been me, it always will be...." Shas then looks to the younger girl taking a moment to break out of her silence and shakes her head. She took a moment to look over the girl and young woman before her and starts laughing softly as she began to pour herself a refill of her drink. "Ya know...I cannae say tha' yer wrong. Yer absolutely right. But, let me ask ye this. How long would tha' girl 'ave survived livin' in th' refugee camps th' way she was? How long would she have livin' in this place at all? I tell ye wha'.....I'm more than satisfied with th' way things turned. I'm more than happy bein' right where I am right now, right where I need tae be." The young girl frowns and slinks down into her own seat seat pouting, while the pregnant woman leans back into hers with a smile forming across her face as she looks at the younger girl. "Hmmm, that's what I thought. You see...it's not always about you....."

Holding up an empty glass in her hand, Shas reached forward for the bottle for another refill. At this point she wasn't really sure how much she had. One thing for sure was that she didn't plan on stopping anytime soon. "Why even bloody bother? I never should 'ave left...simple as tha'. I thought I lost everything....but instead I damn near threw wha' good I had left in my life away m'self." Shaking her head a bit, Shas looks at the younger girl before rolling her eyes and looking back to the pregnant woman. She took a moment to glance at the woman's belly before frowning and taking a sip of her drink. "That's th' only good I ever did in my life. An' I almost lost her forever....an' fer wha'? I'll tell ye...absolutely nothin'. There..I admitted it. Ye bloody happy now? I gave in tae my true nature an' did exactly wha' I was raised an' trained tae do." The pregnant woman frowns slowly shaking her head while turning her gaze towards the ground. She looks back up to Shas and remains silent for a moment before responding. "Tell me....what good did it do then, hmmm? What did you gain from it? Did it give back everything that was lost? Our mother, our brothers and sister? Our homeland....our name even?" Shas sits back in her chair and simply shakes her head offering only a silent response. The younger girl walks back over to the two with a sly grin on her face and leans against the chair Shas was currently occupying and looks down at her. "Well...what do you know? As usual, it always comes back to me. Right back to this point, this defining moment that changed everything."

Clio is banned for not meeting Shas yet

The younger blonde girl strolls around the basement lounge while Shas continues to sip from her glass occasionally. After a few moments the blonde speaks up. "Ya know...this is actually a pretty nice place here. Not a bad life you've made for yourself. I mean, it's no where near the lifestyle we had back in the good old days...but definitely not bad." Shas notices her glass getting empty and goes to refill it before replying back to the younger girl. "Yeah....an' we both know exactly how well tha' turned out fer us in th' end. It's not like th' old days in Ala Mhigo are gonna be comin' back anytime soon...or at all fer tha' matter." The younger girl scoffs and shakes her head making her way back over to Shas. "Oh come on...we had it pretty damn good back then. Better than it could ever possibly be in...this place." A small grin begins to form on the girls face before leaning to look Shas directly in the eyes. "And what we did with that noble family we married into? Wow..a true work of art if I do say so myself. Nothing quite like the satisfaction of outwitting and manipulating your opponents. And to do it so quickly and efficiently....hmmmm.....yeah, those were good times." Shas leaned back in her chair after refilling her glass. She closed her eyes wondering to herself if she was either drinking too much or not enough that night. Either way she would most likely continue drinking. As she looked back to the young girl a frown formed on her face. "Don't...just..don't even go there. Once again, we both know how tha' turned out. Fer all th' plannin' an' preparation....it meant absolutely nothin' in th' end." Just as Shas had finished speaking to the younger girl another familiar voice appeared. Shas would roll her eyes and look towards the source of the new voice and would see a slightly older version of the young girl she was speaking to before. This one would appear to be around twenty or so wearing the uniform of a Sultansworn Squire and apparently pregnant as well. "My gods...how long have you been listening to this psychotic little witch? Sorry I wasn't here sooner but.....you kinda get slowed down a bit with this." The uniformed woman would say with a smile pointing to her belly. The younger girl would scoff at the woman with an annoyed expression on her face. "Hey, who are you calling a witch? You kiss our mother with that mouth?" The slightly older blonde rolled her eyes and made her way next to Shas, grabbing a chair along the way and taking a seat next to her. She looked Shas up and down slowly with a warm smile forming across her face. "I guess this goes without saying but....you've had quite an interesting year, haven't you?" Shas sighed heavily downing her drink in one gulp and setting it down. At that point she looked between the young blonde girl and the pregnant woman wondering if the alcohol was getting to her or if she had completely lost her mind. Shaking her head she forwarded her gaze towards the pregnant woman, having grown tired of listening to the much younger girl in the lounge. "I s'ppose ye could say tha'. I dinnae ken where tae begin on...where I went wrong. How I got to this point. No...I know exactly where I went wrong...exactly wha' happened tae get to this point."

Blargh, meant to put this down before the actual long wall of text. My first attempt at posting a story in the Town Square. Pretty much details the events of what happened after the end of the Grindstone when Shas payed a visit to the NC Free Company. Any suggestions or critiques are more than welcome.
