Entry 13 - Motivation: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I found Nahare and what I thought would be a terrible meeting, actually turned out to help me. She yelled at me, telling me how I lied to her and left her, which I did and fully admit, but I didn't bother to argue. Instead, I couldn't help but feel the need to help her. The poor woman is due to give birth to her kits soon and the man who got her pregnant, Hojo, isn't even around. He isn't loyal, he left her behind. Last I checked, he was hanging around a brothel, but maybe there isn't something to this I don't know? But the way Nahare sounded, she didn't know he was there. He's a good man, that much I know and want to believe. I'm trying to rebuild his trust and telling this to Nahare isn't the way to do it, but I had to tell her. She had to face the facts that Hojo wasn't going to be there for her and the kits. Yet here I sit, still thinking there is some good to him. He can help Suna and I with this endeavor, but I have to find a way to get him on board. Last I saw him, he yelled at me and called me a liar too. That's what everyone seems to associate me with, but I've accepted that fact. I'll think more on how to approach him about Tray'ju and how he can further help us. Being able to see Nahare again actually gave me a bit of strength, although tensions are still high, I think we both want the same thing for each other. I want to help her and be there for her to help care for her kits and tend to her wellbeing and she want's to keep me safe. I wan't to keep her out of all of this, knowing her, it'll be hard, but I just need to do enough to convince her to focus on her kits. I need to rebuild the trust lost so she can believe me and finally listen and take my advice. She thinks that even with kits, she can run around still risking her life, but that's not how it works. Don't risk your life and risk not being able to see your kits again, invest in them and not violence. I also need time to strategize what to do next, when Tray'ju is completely out of the picture, that won't be the end of it. The Black Lotus will continue to look for him and others like him will spring up and try to cause trouble, I'll be there from preventing something like this from happening again, but I can't do it alone. I already know Sun would be willing to help me and if I can get Hojo on board, we'll be able to accomplish quite a lot. I tell myself I'm ready to rest, but I should've known it's not in my heart. I can tell myself that one hundred times, but my heart's desire won't change. I like the thrill.

Entry 12 - Weakness: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I did it. I captured Tray and everything was fine. Everything was fine. Everything was fine until the Black Lotus caught my trail, I didn't say anything, I wouldn't tell them. I couldn't fail again, I couldn't. I came with them willingly, I had no other choice, I couldn't run and I couldn't fight back. The one who subjugated me to such pain scares me, I never saw his face but I know his voice and the voice and what he did and can do scare me. I don't want to find the voice, I don't want the voice to find me. I told him to stop, I pleaded for help, but it never came. Even so, I told them nothing. It likely would've been easier if I did, but I won't fail him. I've failed enough times, I can at least try to get one thing right. But how much can I take? I keep trying to do something right and there is always someone there to keep pushing me down. All I want is just a brief time of safety, I thought I had it when I was finally free. I was so, so wrong. People like to toy with me, it brings them pleasure to see me suffer. I hate it, I hate them, I hate them! They scare me.... I thought taking Tray was going to be easy, that once we had him, we would be able to escape things easy, but I miscalculated like I always do. Things are getting worse and worse and there is no one around to keep me sane. I'm a hypocrite. I don't want people to help me, I want to figure things out on my own, I want to prove that I'm strong, I don't want to burden people and risk them getting hurt. Yet here I am, wishing that I had help. I wanted Valen to help me, but he was right, his efforts would be in vain. I'm tired. He's more trouble than he's worth, but I have to finish the task I was given. I will complete the task but after that, I'll rest. I'll finally rest.

Wayfarer's Gift Giveaway: November *Results are in*

Entry 11 - Just for Fun: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The page had streaks of red across it that looked like blood, most likely from her hand. Sun, he knows, he knows! I told him I was no good and pretending to be someone I wasn't and accepted me as Kanako! He was willing to help me with hunting down Tray and quite the help he has been. I received some important information about where Tray would be heading and it proved to be true! I found him and I ambushed him. He didn't know what hit him, he's so weak and it didn't take long for him to go down. Sun helped me hide him and we're just having some fun. Some fun. This is fun. Right? It feels nice, the thrill, the adrenaline, it feels right. He's a bad person and he's getting what he deserves. This is the right thing to do, to take justice into my own hands. Sun, he gets it, this feels right for him too. This is the way it's supposed to be. I found myself a friend, one that truly gets me and we'll help each other. He'll make sure Tray never leaves and I'll wait until he's gotten what he really deserves before actually finishing him. This is the right thing to do.

Hello and Welcome to the RPC!
-
11/1 Update: -We've been messing around with our website and there have been some recent changes to it. -Our application and process changed slightly. (More details in the main post)
-
Entry 12 - Identity: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So much has changed in such small amount of time. I left Tray with quite a bang and my life was saved by an intimidating Xaela. I think it was meeting him that really turned everything around. He had me angered, I was close to yelling and I could feel it. I could feel that corruption once more and he could too. He immediately questioned the blue pendant and despite my efforts, he just wouldn't leave it alone. I am unsure what he did, but something that I once thought could never be removed was suddenly freed. I was unsure if I was grateful or terrified, but I was quick to leave. As soon as I found a room to rest in for the night, I began to plan how I would track down Tray. He almost killed me, he's caused everyone else nothing but trouble, and I already know he won't change. I want him dead. What a surprise, the same Xaela man found me, it had been a few suns and the corruption inside of me was already getting worse. I had a limited time to get the deed done and him distracting me wasn't going to help, but he didn't come to idle chatter, no, he came to help. I'm still not even sure how to explain exactly, but his freakish staff managed to just.....take it all away. I just don't understand, but it really fucking hurt. When the pendant was removed, my appearance changed. I noticed that one of my eyes was pure crimson red, and my hair returned to pure red. There she was, there was the dead woman. She was hiding under those magics and without them, she was free. I didn't want her to be free, so I managed to obtain an alchemical potion which allowed me to change my hair back to that light orange color that everyone knew. I could've taken the chance right then and there to just return to an old life, but I thought it was too late, I was already this far into my new life that it would be even more difficult to just turn back around. However, after seeing Hojo again, I'm not so sure. Hojo followed me outside of Limsa Lominsa. Part of me knew I should've continued on and make him believe Kanako was dead, but I couldn't. It just wasn't in my heart, he was someone I deeply cared for and couldn't abandon just like that. I gave him all the subtle signs until he finally connected it all and when he did, it was anything but pleasant. He yelled at me, claimed that I was selfish, I had no one to blame but myself, and how pathetic I was. He's right, I really am pathetic. When I woke up in those woods and saw my reflection, I looked completely different. I almost didn't know who I even was and that's how it should've been. I thought it was a sign to start over and make life happier for everyone else. Ever since this change, it's been anything but happy yet instead of giving it up, I've kept going and hoped that it would get better. After seeing Hojo and others I use to be close to, now I'm not so sure. I just want to make things right. Yet I feel like if I drop everything and bring someone back from the dead, it'll just make things worse. What will people of the free company think? I lied to them and it'll make them think I'm not to be trusted. What of the others? Will they truly be happy to see her again, or angered and not forgive me for leading them in circles? I'm lost and confused, I'm not sure what's better for me. What's the point in keeping this up? So many already know but choose to blissfully ignore and call me Marigold anyway. Yes, that's right..... Marigold. It's just a name, nothing more.

In the email, it said the second batch of lore books would be sent out at the end of November.....I just got my email telling me it's on the way. Either I read the email wrong, there was a typo, or I'm really lucky. Now it's time to wait for the package to travel all around the US until it finally gets to me.
-
Placed my order for the lore book, I got the very basic shipping but I'm okay with that. Can't wait to get it!

balmung Seeking artifacts and the people who hold them~
GhostlyMaiden replied to Chompie's topic in Chronicled Connections
I HEARD RELICS?! The Limitless Reliquary is FC focused on relic hunting and safekeeping relics. We often take contracts from people who perhaps had a relic stolen from them, or trying to seek out a relic that they have been unable to find on their own. As you mention, the information you're giving is a bit vague so I hope that with further discussion, we can work something out. -
Smuggle Me This (Edited!)
GhostlyMaiden replied to ambiguouslymoral's topic in Chronicled Connections
This is very well written and I like your character concept. A character that I can throw your way is Marigold. She's a rather complicated character to explain as she wouldn't see herself as a criminal (especially considering the FC she is a part of), but she as been around enough of criminals where they have changed her personality and views a bit. She isn't exactly the most emotionally stable character and her addict tendencies don't help. As of right now, she is currently unavailable for RP due to an RP I recently had that has left her gravely wounded. However, when she is back on her feet, she is open to more connections. I just thought I'd go ahead and put a post up so you would have something to think about. If you want to learn a bit more about her, I have her wiki linked in my signature. I should warn you that it needs to be updated, but it still gives you a fairly good idea of what she's like. -
Welcome to the RPC! I really like your avatar too.

As I continue to use this palette, I realize that as soon as I go to apply, it looks super dark and I think "I messed up, oh gods nooooo". So I go to blend it, then it looks like it changed anything. So as of right now, I'm in that weird in between part where I kinda know what I'm doing, but not really. Same here, I hope to try some of her Everlasting lipsticks, but right now, I'm hooked on Urban Decay.

Entry 11 - The Need to Rebuild: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Arcadeus is scattered, but we're still doing our best to keep going. We still have people coming to us for employment and it all feels rather strange considering the circumstances. Despite the tragedy, many have remained hopeful and so have I. I do believe that Arcadeus can rebuild and rise again, out of all of the things that I've given up on, Arcadeus is not one of them. Deep down, part of me wants to just give up, it would be so much easier if I did, but I always manage to ignore that thought and fight; It makes my life so damn difficult. Part of me hopes that maybe, just maybe this will convince Valen to come back, that's only if I can find him. Even after he gave his final goodbye, I couldn't help myself and continued to look for him. Of course, it proved to be of no avail and it just made me feel worse. I know where Valen is, the others don't. Dami and I have organized a time and place for everyone to meet up, there is much that needs to be discussed and I'll be damn sure to tell them the last place I saw Valen. I've realized that this isn't something I can do alone and after having a few suns to myself, and the help of a friend an acquaintance, I've also realized how pathetic I am. I'm sorry for failing you, Valen. Perhaps everyone else who cares for you will convince you to come back and that you don't have to fight alone.

I forgot I had this. Well, I finally updated it.

These sketches are amazing, I really need to commission you again! >.

Entry 10 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It all happened so quickly, one minute we were all together trying to apprehend a relic, the next we're back at the mansion only to see it in flames. It's still a bit hazy, but I remember Valen fighting against the man with a magitek sword and being told to run. That night, I was only left to my thoughts, to wonder what could've possibly happened to Valen and if he was still alive. The following morning, I went looking for him. That was all I did that sun. I trailed back to the scene of the accident only to see the authorities still swarming around it. They wouldn't let me get close but the one thing that I managed to see, was the broken remains of Valens spear. I went in circles until finally, I got a lead. Someone in Mor Dhona reported they may've seen the man that I was describing and with that small bit of information, I was determined that I would find him here. It took time, but I did find him, but he didn't look too good. I could see it in his eyes, he was giving up. I'm unsure what exactly took place after we left, but the horrid injuries were enough for me to take a guess. I wanted to help him but he kept refusing, telling me to stop wasting my time and to go home. I couldn't just leave him, not like that, but he wasn't giving me much of an option either. That night, I stayed in Mor Dhona, I gathered as many scraps that I thought Valen might be able to use, I wanted to prove that he didn't have to do this alone. That night, I can imagine I only managed two hours of sleep. I felt like shit, but I managed to gather a lot and buy some magitek scraps off of some of the merchants in Mor Dhona. I went looking for him again, I found him in what felt like a chasm, his voice echoed through every time. Once more did I get the same results, he wouldn't accept my help, he even remembers me for who I really am. Everything I did, all the arguing and frustration was for nothing, he left me and this time for good. This is a cruel, endless cycle. I try to do something right, I try to help someone and prove they don't have to be alone ever again, and I fail. How many more must I fail before I get it through my head that I can't do it? I've done nothing right and it's not going to get any better. As much as I want to give up, something keeps clawing at the back of my mind, to keep going. But why? Why do I keep fighting knowing that the end result will always be the same?

The book was up for what, 30 minutes? Maybe less? It's sold out now. ;__; I guess they REALLY weren't expecting so many people to buy it.

10/17 Update: -After making the FC transition, we continued our main story from Arcadeus. This was the first event we've had since taking the name as The Limitless Reliquary. -We're now rank 8 Only a small update, but we're still going strong and are happy to see that even given out current situation with no house, people are still sending in applications.

Small update, there isn't a lot of information about Marigold since her situation is a bit complicated to describe. I left links to stories about her which might help you know the character a bit more before deciding to rp. Still looking for connections. -
Same here. ;__; But I can't wait to see all the pictures people post! We can have our own Fanfest with blackjack and hookers Our fanfest will be better than the real one. :')

I got paid yesterday so I thought "Why not go out to Sephora and lush?" While I was at Sephora, I finally got that one contour palette I've been eyeing for the past month. Kat Don D. Contour Palette The case is really nice and has colors that work for my pale skin. The only problem is that I've never used something like this before and I have no ideas what I'm doing. I watched some videos about it before bed, but it's going to take some practice for sure. https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/IsAv4yD5yi0n_NjRR20vrA69gLo/fit-in/2048xorig/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2016/05/04/731/n/1922153/22dc0022b7930272_Urban_Decay_Vice_Lipstick_in_Rock_Steady/i/Urban-Decay-Vice-Lipstick-Rock-Steady.jpg[/img] I also got me some new Urban Decay Vice lipstick with a lip liner to go with it. The color is Rock Steady and was one of the darker shades that was recommended from my color iq number. When I went to lush, instead of buying a bunch of Halloween bath bombs, I just bought a bunch of Christmas ones......
