Sunlight already? was her first thought when she started to regain consciousness. Then the last memories she had came flooding back into her mind. The void-based potion, the resulting pain, all through the haze of drunkeness, and beyond that nothing. Then she realized she was hearing a strange distant buzzing noise. It sounded somewhat like a bee in a unstable flight. But it started to grow louder until words began to form out of it, then the voice came into focus as she flattened her ears against her head. "...under a chirogeons supervision. In a safe place. Not a canal in Kugane." Misaki intoned with the same cold and dispassionate voice she always seemed to have. But Sylvara knew by the explanation she was already receiving, the young Raen had been worried. Or at least her approximation of the feeling. "E-Easy lass.. I'm fine. Bloody 'ells where am I?" She asked as she tried to lift her head, but her muscles practically laughed in her face with shooting pain unlike anything she'd felt even in battle. "You're back home in Gridania. You are very lucky the Samurai happened upon you when they did and knew to contact me when they got you to an infirmry. You've been unconscious for almost a week. Sylvara, you nearly died. You lost so much blood, they didn't think you'd wake up again." The Raen still sounded like she was trying to explain basic concepts to a small child that refused to understand. "Oh." She swollowed hard realizing her mistake, "Y-Yer right lass.. I wasn't thinkin'" "As usual. Anyroad, once your able to walk your free to leave. They said you should recover fully, however they're unsure about side effects. You know, the ones I warned you about. They don't know if you'll ever be ab-" Misaki stopped mid sentence as the Mint Miqo lifted her hand to cut her off. "Nope. Too soon. Next subject." She grimaced in what appeared to be real physical pain at the mere though. "Yes. Of course Lady Starstalker, my apologies." The Raen spoke more softly now, realizing her lack of empathy failed her again. "Lass, for the last time. I ain't no Lady." She grumbles, "Now, where's my clothes.. Wait, did you undress me?" "No, the infirmary staff did." She responded flatly, glaring at Sylv for the insinuation, "Very well, let me go find them."

At first it seemed like all was normal and she wrinkled her nose slightly, "Well tha-" Mid sentence before the words made it inches from her lips a sharp pain would stab through her gut and into her lower abdomen like a spear running her through. She immediately collapsed under the unwelcome sensation, curling into a ball instinctively around the source of her pain. She knew that couldn't be it, and she was proven right only a moment later. Roiling black waves of void magic would form in the air around her and another jolt of pain would explode through her. This time she'd scream in agony as the pain stayed with her this time. She clutched her lower stomach as tears started to stream down her face; he had warned her about this about all the side effects, but her choices had seemed limited at the time. Still a little pain was worth erasing every trace of her ex from her. As the second jolt would finally fade, she managed to get herself together enough to crawl away from the canal's edge and to the stone wall. She then propped herself up against it before the third and final shock of pain would knock the wind out of her and make her vision fill with stars and grow very very dim. She didn't know if it was a few seconds or a few minutes that she sat there, frozen in an agony she never thought possible.. but when it finally faded she gasped in relief. She shook her head to clear it and put her hand down to push herself up, but the ground was too slick to find purchase, She looked down at it and frowned a little weakily to herself, that's a lot of blood. she thought to herself.. Lightheaded and weak though, she didn't consider the fact that it came from her and slowly she rose to her feet once again. Along the wall she would limp, her hand leaving bloody prints as she used it for support. As she went she popped a potion vial, this one your more normal variety and chugged its contents back. "...maybe next time." she murmured to herself as the tears started to fall freely again.

Character: Sylvara Starstalker Race: Miqo'te (Keeper) Age: Early adult Personality: Sylvara prides herself on being a hard-as-nails, alcoholic, tough girl. As the leader of her free company, she tends to try and put on the cool, calculating visage of a leader. The only problem is, she's not as tough as she thinks she is, and has an extremely oversensitive side that few get to see. Sexuality: Prefers women, considers men only for having children. Primary Job: Sylvara has been an avid archer and an active Bard most of her life until a painful life event changed her path. These days she's more likely to be found with a Katana in her hand. But people around her apartment building claim to hear the most haunting violin music coming from her room late at night. Character: Misaki Nakamura Race: Au'ra (Raen) Age: Early adult Personality: Misaki was a Shinobi during the battle for Doma and the uprising, and her family paid the price for it. Traumatized and in shock, she was ushered off to Eorzea with Yugiri and she's never quite recovered since. This has lead her to a borderline sociopathic mindset with very limited emotions compared to a normal person. She's cold, calculating, and often morally grey in her pursuit of all magical knowledge and her chosen focus: Aetherology. Of course these are just scars holding back some very raw wounds that have never healed, and one day she'll have to face them. Sexuality: Lesbian Primary Job: Though a trained and extremely skilled Shinobi, it was never her dream to follow that path, but the dream of her family. So upon arriving in Eorzea, she immediately took to learning every last shred of knowledge she could find on magic in it's many forms. She studies the foundations of Aether itself in an attempt to better understand reality. Hooks: - Sylvara & Misaki both work for Eorzea Security, a private security FC. They can be hired for Bodyguard services, caravan escorts, and may other private security related tasks. (No real gil required - RP is my payment. ^.^) - Due to a recently failed relationship, Sylvara can be found quite frequently in random places through the world. It's not uncommon to stumble across her in any number of places drunk, grumpy or possibly fighting with a local about something pointless. - Misaki is highly nomadic in nature; rarely is she found in the same region twice is as many days. Running into her in the world isn't hard, and despite her nature she's really very friendly with strangers. - Many other potential hooks exist, and would be happy to discuss. Looking For: - Friends to RP with and join in our storylines. - A long term RP partner who'd be interested in one or both characters romantically. (If you have two chars compatible with my two, Even better!) PM me here if you're interested and we can chat further on Discord or in game! Once I have character profiles to share, I will add them! Thanks!

When she started awake again, she assumed a large amount of time had passed since her stall out on the bridge, but in reality it hand been maybe an hour or two. She would climb to her feet once again, making her traditional calculations, and finally find her step. This time she made it out to the ferry and managed to even pay the ferryman to take her back to Kugane proper. Eorzea was so very far away and yet the events of the last night she spent there before her fleeing to Doma decided unbidden to invade her drunkenly depressed mind. It caused her to scowl angrily at a random passerby as she climbed out of the ferry, eliciting a reaction at the perceived rudeness. If Sylvara noticed, she didn't give an outward reaction to it and simply started her way down the dock, stumbling once or twice as she adjusted to land again. The first thing she sought was a departure from the busy streets of Kugane at night; a city that truly never seems to sleep. Once she slipped down close to the water, wandering the very canals that the unfortunates of Kugane did, she pulled a small vial of a black liquid from one of her pants pockets and held it in her hand with an expression of regret crossing her features. "Sorry lass." she muttered to herself before uncapping the vial and downing it's contents, "Maybe next time."

Sylvara stumbled just for a moment as she left the front entrance of Club Cobalt. She wrinkled her nose and shook her head to clear it. "Bloody 'ells I'm out of practice." she grumbled to herself in that distinctly Shroud Keeper accent of hers and glared down at her stomach, "tha' be yer fault." she muttered accusingly at the pale smooth tummy that could be seen through a small slit in the front of her outfit. She took an experimental step, then another, carefully measuring the amount of sway she had gained from the nine shots of Bourbon she drank very quickly. It wasn't long till she gained what appeared to the outside world to be a stable and normal gait through the residential district, but really it was a carefully honed sense of how to compensate for her drunkenness, tuned over many years of practice. She didn't get far however before she had to stop; half way to the dock and awaiting ferry back to the mainland where she could find anonymity and a place to do what she needed to do. "Aw hells. No' now." She growls at herself, fighting the urge as hard as she can. Despite still barely being into adulthood, the young Mint Miqo'te tried her best to be hard as stone, but more often than not failed entirely at it. And that moment happened to be one of them; finally the emotions she'd been hiding from all night exploded out of her and there was nothing she could do but collapse on the bridge into a pile of mournful sobs and tears. It seemed like an eternity in her mind, but in reality only bare minutes passed before she finally recovered enough composure to take a deep breath and wipe off her face. "Two years lass." She would mutter to herself, "Ye hid in yer head for two bleedin' years. You canna do tha' again. Get yer arse up, and keep marchin'" The words sounded good in theory, she even half believed them for a second, but ultimately the mixture of alcohol and the feeling of being so completely fooled claimed her motivation. She slid herself to the side of the bridge to lean her back against it for support before sliding on her black sunglasses and huffing in resignation. "'ells with it. I'll march t'morrow." She muttered as she passed out.

I. Basic Info Characters: Sylvara Starstalker (Keeper), Misaki Nakamura (Raen) Primary character: Sylvara Linkshells: Eorzea Security (FC Crossword Linkshell) II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Heavy RPer - I spend a great deal of time and energy on my characters and the people I RP with. Views on RP combat and injuries: These things are a part of life, though not a very big part in a world with healing magic and potions. Views on IC romance: I very much enjoy romantic relationships IC! How they work varies very much on the character. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): I play this game for RP. This is the standard I look for. Sylvara has a sisters that's presumed dead but never recovered, and Misaki's family is vague and undefined. So I'd be open to really any sort of RP as long as it was fun, engaging, and respected my characters. Views on lore: Oh you don't like the lore? You want to build an IBM PC in Eorzea? Great, have you heard of this game called Second Life? It's more your speed. I play FFXIV for the world and lore, if you don't our styles are already incompatible. That being said, I don't tell people they can't make a Black Mage or White Mage just because it doesn't usually happen; I stick to the lore, but I'm also open to interpretations or storylines that challenge it if done well. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): I mean, that's uhh.. that's how you talk in game yea.. Was there a specific view I should have on that? This confuses me. III.
