"Gone?" Riley peeked inside the room, before noting Jennys crushed attitude "Hey.. hey, whats wrong?" she'd smile to the girl and lean down to try catch her eye "Jenny?" the trickster leaned out and crossed her hands with a confident smile "I'm not quite sure whats going, but I'm sure there's no reason to cry. The townsfolk seem happy, those assholes are gone." Riley looked to the room down the hall where Grace and Nina went "Pretty much all our friends are okay as well! So why the tears, Jen?" Riley clearly expected an answer from the saddened girl as some commotion could be heard near the stair top.

Clear claps echoed out "Alright, gather everyone! Gather!" Jenny could clearly recognise Misteys voice! "Where are all my Servos?" unless called out to Mistey would disappeared somewhere upstairs clearly having returned and not knowing there was someone else here.

Unfortunately with Jennys dimmed mood, she'd likely be slow to react to the familiar voice. Stepping outside of the room with Riley clearly supporting her, Grace would rush up to the two "Jen! You have to see this!" she'd beckon for Jenny to follow to her sisters.

Stepping she'd see Nina curiously looking over Tina, the girls blood red hair turning a dark auburn. Her demonic features dimming, the same seemed to echo throughout most of the crew - Meril, Jasmine... all of her sisters. Just like Jenny, the girls demonic features seemed to slowly begin to dim and fade, though all of them seemed far more peaceful than before.

As if knowing her sister Nina would quickly comment "They're alright, just calmly sleeping while it's happening." the girl put a finger on her lips "Sis... what did you do out there?" she'd turn to Jenny to explain just how this overgrowth and natural magic just all of sudden appear... and in such intensity.

"I thought I could save them all.... Foolish I guess." Hearing Misty Jenny would get up with the support of Riley and move into the hall only to intercepted by Nina.

Following her sister Jenny watched as the transformation slowly took place on the girls. Sitting down Jenny took Meril's hand and squeezed it, before turning her head to speak with Nina. "I used the essence of a nature spirit to purify the wards in the mine. I guess it was far more potent than I expected. If you think the damage here was bad you should see the mine. I doubt anyone will be able to get down their ever again."

Sitting a moment long Jenny would get up. "Okay girls lets talk with Misty I need to know what happened in the town. Maybe she can fill me in on some of the other things. Heading upstairs Jenny looked back at Rosa's room saddened that the girl had run away.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Nina raised a curious eyebrow and stepped closer, while Grace seemed to be fairly lost at whatever was discussed "Like the one in the academy?" Riley would join the conversation at the question "Bigger and meaner." she'd smile and turn to Jenny to explain just what sort of chamber they found deep beneath the mountain.

"Three wards?" Nina sat down and placed a finger on her lips, her brow furrowed. It was a position Jenny recognised all too well, her sister was deep in thought putting something together "A control room, no a main chamber maybe?" she'd speak up, but seemingly spoke out loud more than anything else now standing up and walking back and forth. Spurring both Riley and Grace to turn their heads and follow her around with their eyes, before turning to Jenny to explain what was going on with her sister.

Suddenly Nina stopped and looked to Jenny "Yes! It used to be a weapon right?" her question was clearly more rhetorical than anything else "But instead of destructive magic it was acivated with this thing you had!" she'd nod to herself "It's effect was amplified, but because it heals not harms, we now have a huge dome of healing magi--

"Nina~..." a fourth voice suddenly appeared interupting the deducting mage! Meril opened her eyes slowly and smiled weakly "People are sleeping here..." she'd snicker very lightly and relax her head against her pillow. Soon enough all of the other girls showed signs of waking as well!

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny could only nod or shake her head at her sisters comments. Once Nina got started there was little to stop her. Jenny looked down and took Meril by the hand. She wasn't sure if the girl would recognize her but a familiar voice might calm her somewhat. "Sorry Meril get some more rest alright. Ill have a servo come down and check on you all." With that said Jenny ushered Nina, Grace, and Riley up the stairs so they could talk to misty. Along the way she would fill Grace in with a quick summery so the poor girl didn't seem so lost. Besides an angels insight would be helpful. Not to mention she wondered if the magic had effected her as well. "I wonder what happened to the girls we rescued...."

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Well everyone seemed pretty speechless... except for Riley "M~... Yeah that sounds about right." she'd smile casually to Nina, before turning to Grace and shruging lightly the angelic girl only snickering sheepishly "Somehow I think I'm really missing some context here." still elaboration and explanation would have to be delayed.

"W-what happened...." Meril held her head lightly as she sat up, the other girls showing clear signs of finally waking up as well "Nina." Riley smirked teasingly hinting at a repeat of the whole brain process again, while the auburn haired girl gave the trickster a look Jenny would quickly cut the shenanigans out "That's what I'm still trying to find out. Sorry Meril get some more rest alright? I'll have a servo come down and check on you all." Jenny gave her a kind smile, as the crew left to find the Mistress of the Servos herself.

"The girls?" Grace glanced to Jenny before "Oh! The priestesses! So it was you!" she'd smile gratefully to the heroine "When they came into town the Church still served as the main hub, so everyone was treated in the main grounds." if asked whether there was someone with them, Jenny would find that noone fitting Kannas description was seen among the victims.

"What about that girl that was taken in with Nicole?" Grace puckered her lips at Ninas comment "Eh? I never caught a look at her." besides the priestesses someone else was taken to the church... along with Nicole? Somehow Jenny suspected she knew who it may have been.

Either way getting up the stairs the group could instantly hear Misteys voice... "C'mon everyone breaks over, I'm sure Sir has a lot more stories to tell... AFTER we get the city in shape. Chop-chop." from one of the rooms once more the Servos swarmed out. One tiny construct after the other...

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

"So your not worried about what the towns people will think then?" Jenny called up to her friend as she crested the stairs. The numerous little servos going about their tasks in a hurry. She wondered if any of them knew or could understand exactly what Sir saw. She hopped her little companion was being a gentleman about his descriptions. "Hey Mistey feels like forever." Jenny smiled at the elven girl before asking about Rei and what exactly went down in town.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Spoiler

Exposition AHOY!

"Jen! Riley!" Mistey beamed a smile, the girls usually... semi-clean outfit now bearing clear wear and tier, even her eyes bearing hints of sleepless nights. The girl would dash closer and give Jenny a hug, followed by Riley who seemed a bit lost at the show of affection "H-Hey." the trickster smiled sheepishly.

"Well lets just say, Kings Coast grew a bit more accepting of their more unique citizens." Mistey smiled happily with a clear hint of pride "I've told them about my creations and while some were iffy the mayor gave the go ahead. The servos will assist in rebuilding the town." she'd glance around at the relatively well reconstructed and maintained alchemy shop "They're quite busy workers."

The next question however would give the girl a brief moment of pause "It's been... a few busy days." she'd walk over to a small room with some chairs even a fairly well crafted sofa and bed! "Where should I begin? How much do you know up till know?"

Hearing out Jennys side of the story in cleared detail, both Mistey and Grace were soon enough caught up, offering both of them to share their side of the story to perhaps paint a cleared picture of the events that transpired during Jennys abscence.

Mistey would explain, that Rei and the Inquisitor leader had went to some sort of meeting after which, Kain would announce that the inquisitor will be leaving the city shortly and everyone was pardoned of their sins "For a bunch of 'comrades' I swear the old guy was going to yell what life was left out of him, the others seemed unmoved." she'd continue explaining that there was a brief calm as everyone prepared to return to their routine lives, up until "Some sort of Earthquake, we all almost fel into panic, when suddenly all... this happened." she'd vaguely point to the recenly repaired floor "This brilliant warmth washed over the whole town, at first we thought it was the end, but when no harm came to us. Everyone grew curious."

Grace would actually interupt and continue, seemingly keen to share as well "It was a brilliant and kind warmth, like a loving mothers. Everyone quickly grew calm, some even healed from the most grievious injuries." "And then things grew crazy. The trees continued to grow and expand more and more, starting to grow into buildings and break them apart. Wild grass and roots began to tear the roads aside at a steady and rapid pace... thank the gods the Templars kept everyone calmed, through the worst of it." "And during all this---"

"Like... 5 maybe more girls in ragged robes all just suddenly appeared in town. One of the Templars rushed to lead them to the church, where I..." she'd pause and look to Grace "We set up a hospital of sorts. Most of them were in really bad condition, while I managed to heal what wounds they beared on their bodies--" "I helped calm them down and relax them." Grace would continue "Most were in either in shock or worse. They all mentioned a heroine in raven hair and some sort of artist, we gathered it was you who saved them." the angelic girl would beam Jenny an absolutely calming smile.

"Thankfully the church was relatively untouched by the growth, but the town especially the parts near the forest weren't so lucky." Mistey cast her gaze down briefly "It was Nicole who called me back to my shop. She was coughing violently and approached the Templars who seemed keen to attack, but their leader, Kain stopped them." Mistey looked to Grace "While normally noone is permitted to leave Mist, Me and Nina were commanded to head to her shop." "He said "Go save your friends". With Nicole appearing in full, I knew who was in trouble."

Mistey looked towards the cellar "I found them coughing or unconscious in the main cellar. The air seemed to be like some sort of choking haze for them. Tina was upstairs so it hit her especially badly." the girl would continue her lenghty explanation "Thankfully with some Moonlilly incense and water, we managed to stabilise them. I"m not sure what else to do..."

"Nicole entered the shop as well, she took someone outside." Grace added and turned to Mistey "It was probably the girl from the medbay, but I'm not certain. When we returned to the church noone was allowed to see the special patient."

Jenny nodded it was clear that Nico and Rosa had turned themselves in. The stupid bimbos. Jenny scowled at the thought before smiling about the other good news. "Good I was worried that I had hurt them especially after what happened to me. Jenny played with her now blonde hair. The thought just occurred to her that her hair used to be brown not blonde Maybe the magic did it. She couldn't say for sure. Looking at Mistey Jenny smiled. "Mistey... is their a way to test someone for corruption? I think I know whats happening." Explaining her thoughts that the healing mist which had hit her dead one might be slowly curing the taint from the girls below Jenny waited to hear what the others had to say and if they needed proof she would show that she had lost her wings.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

"Not... that... I'm aware off." Mistey blinked at the question and looked to the group "I'm think you're right Jen. You, especially changed since we first met." Grace would speak up and smile "Though Corruption and it's influence isn't usually something you can measure." the angelic girl would give the heroine an earnest look.

"Well, if anyone would know the librarian, Ezekiel, would. He's helped me a lot on my first trip here." Nina would chip, leaving only Riley without adding her own thoughts on the matter. For the time the trickster seemed happy to just observe and listen out to everything that occured with fair bit of interest.

IF Jenny choose to leave, Nina would quickly catch up to her "Wait Jen! Everythings calmed down now... looks at yourself..." she'd lean forward to catch Jennys eyes sharply "When was the last time you slept. Ezekiel will be there, I'm sure Mistey won't mind and nothing horrible will happen if you rest." knowing her sister, Nina squeezed the girls hands tightly "I mean it... just... trust me alright. You need the rest."

Riley meanwhile didn't seem all that tired, infact she seemed to stay behind briefly talking about something with Mistey with a huge smile, before catching up to Jenny and Nina, after their talk "So~ We heading to the librarians then?" she'd smile casually.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny didn't really feel that tired but then again she had been running for a while now. "Maybe your right... I probably should at lest rest." Smiling Jenny would let Nina take the lead on this one. Seeing Riley catch up Jenny smiled. "It seems my older sister by 10 minutes thinks I need to take a lay down. Do I really look that exhausted Riley?" Either way Jenny would relent and as Riley to visit Ezekiel while she got some much needed sleep. Finding a place she would lay down and let her friends do some of the work for once, though honestly they had done just as much if not more than she had.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

"Hum?" Riley looked to Nina, leaning out from clear gaze the girl was giving! "Oh.. er..." the trickster leaned closer curiously "Hum well you do have those..." she'd wiggle her finger around her eyes "And you've not slept since we activated the wards. Go for it." she'd snicker kindly, Nina seemingly relaxing near Jenny "There. Ten minutes or not, I'm your older sister. So that's that."

While Jenny did indeed not feel quite tired-out, somehow a bit of sleep sounded quite nice "Mistey!" Nina would quickly arrange a bed for the girl, upstairs to boot "Sure you can use my bed, it's right down that hall there." the alchemist would smile kindly and nod "I'll check on the girls in cellar, find me when you wake 'kay, Jenny?" with whatever promise made or not, soon enough Mistey would descend down the stairs and sigh at the still under-repair sight...

Meanwhile Riley listened out to asked favor and puckered her lips "Well~ I could help you fall asleep better." she'd sensually lean closer--- only for Nina to have none of it "You two can do that, whatever you do later. First rest." she'd take Jenny away whether she liked it or not. Riley would giggle at the older sisters attitude and waved the dragged away Jenny goodbye "See you when you wake~"

The bedroom was far from fancy, but it was cozy. Gentle warm colors dominated most of the view, with oaken furniture and a fairly simple bed accentuating the rooms fair simplicity. Nina closed the door behind her and took a deep breath, before sighing "Sorry about that sis. Just... I really needed to talk to you in private." Nina scracthed her neck innocently, she always had a knack of overcomplicating thing... before approaching and hugging Jenny deeply in silence "By the Naias grace, what did we get ourselves into eh?" while Jenny already had a chat, seemed it was Nina who needed just a brief break from everything that went on all around "From our parents history, to some decrepit academy.... then to some templars almost executing us." she'd sit down.

In that moment, Jenny actually did infact feel her body seemingly relax from an adrenaline high... her stress finally subsiding... her body starting to ache and grow extremely tired. Be it the actual lack of sleep or the direct purge taking more out of her than she thought.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny would wave back at Riley before being tugged out of view. Clearly Nina was being very instant about this for some reason. It became clear once they entered Mistey's modest room. Jenny liked the simple nature of it. It reminded her of home in a way. Turning around Jenny was hugged by her sister. Returning the hug Jenny held her tight and listened. Apparently Nina had reach a point were she needed to vent her feelings.

"Aye not exactly a relaxing trip. Jenny sat down on the bed and relaxed. She avoided saying that her sister had undoubtedly stirred this whole trouble up but in the end it was probably a good thing at lest for this town. "So mom and dad.. is that why you came here?" Jenny began to undress getting ready for bed. Ever since her awakening and copious time nude in various dungeons she found it hard to sleep in cloths. "Well its obvious you took after dad talent wise and I guess I got moms... gift. I wonder if our oldest sister is the only normal one out of us?" At the mention of the templar Jenny grew silent. Yes that indeed had been a bad no correction is a bad subject. "I wish they hadn't gotten involved but they seemed to have saved the town while I was..... out of action."

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Nina shook her head "They didn't seem bad... well most of them." the mage looked to Jenny, noting the rapidly appearing nudity "Hey hey! We're not in a bathouse here, nudie." she'd smile kindly before returning to the subject matter "When we were kept with them, most seemed kind and helpful... just... they still kept everyone like prisoners..." she'd clench at her own robe, her mood darkening "And they took Nicole."

The girl raised her eyes and looked her sister "I'll go after her, Jen. She was a really good friend... a good and stupid friend and I can't just let her be executed like some criminal." seemed Nina shared Jennys distaste of Nicoles 'deal' and had a motivation that Jenny herself may have considered "The town is in ruins, but I barely know here... I'm leaving to find Nicole, maybe I'll bump a few of the girls from the bar." Nina looked to Jenny "Thought you should be the first to know about this."

She'd pause looking to Jenny "What about you, Jen? What will you do now?"

 

[ranger]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

"Nope not happening. You don't even know where to look. Besides I'm going and your going home. Mom and Dad need to know you're alright." Jenny leaned back on the bed her body fully naked now. "Besides you don't even know where to go and I do. Plus I don't need to worry about you and Nico at the same time." Jenny would get comfy on the bed before looking at her sister. "So Nico is flexible isn't she." Jenny's eyes sparkled slightly. She was trying to make her sister flustered so she didn't fight her decision.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Unfortunately Nina had always been a stubborn lot "I've wrote them a letter already. It should go out soon, besides they'd understand." she'd cross her hands and lean back in her seat looking to her sisters little acts "Someone's grown a little mischievious and promiscious hasn't she?" Nina blushed only subtly... Jenny was not one to act like this back when she left at all!

"Come on, Sis. What will you do?" she'd look turn her head looking at her sister, one finger motioning to levitate a blanked over the naked body "The town will definedly need help. Between the girls below and the overgrowth around... you'd make an excellent middle-man for it's dealings. The townsfolks owe you and the bar girls owe you just as much."

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny snuggled up with the blanket. "The people of this town besides a few are backstabbing cowards. Keen to take help but once its not needed they throw it away. Im not gonna stay and help them only for it to forgotten about when the next trouble comes knocking. Truth be told as they stand now 90 percent of the towns people don't deserve the girls here. Thats why its important to get Nico returning her here will help the town far more than me standing around. I will not be their replacement Nicole. Kings Coast will have to suffer with out her for awhile. Maybe then they will know what they have done, and for once find their backbones." Jenny sighed Rei and Mistey helped this town to the best of their ablities and just look at how they were treated. A towns protectors shouldn't have to hide from the people they suffer for.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Nina glanced down in thougt "So you're leaving as well?" the girl sat briefly, before looking to Jenny and smiling "Nicole will be excuted in a few months time in Mariosa, it's a fair few days of travel from here." the mage sat on the bed "I'm not taking you with me, nor will I go with you, Jen. You know it's not my style.

She'd continue "Alone we might not be able to pull this off, but we have some time. If we spread out I'm sure we'll find people who'll aid us." Nina smiled subtly "Lets meet in Mariosa a week before the end date. If either of us run into trouble, we send for each others aid, alright?"

 

[ranger]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny frowned throwing off the covers and giving her sister a dark look. "Its a good plan but I think you should go home at lest for a little while and think this threw. You've already been threw enough besides..." Jenny moved and hugged her sister pressing her large chest against the girl. "I don't want to lose you again." Of course Jenny knew Nina wouldn't listen to her she hardly ever did. She would follow her plan threw despite what Jenny had to say on it. "But I know you..." Jenny would look down and rest her head on her sisters shoulder. "Promise me you will contact me as soon as you can if you run into trouble." With that Jenny would fall back to the bed and fall asleep.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

With a final goodbye it was settled "Don't worry Sis. You won't get any more help letters from me." she'd lean out and smirk "If anything, I'll be the one doing the saving." Nina snickered and looked to Jenny briefly, before hugging her once more "Be safe, lil' sister. You've grown into quite the adventurer."

Their goodbyes done, Nina would stand to leave, pausing before exiting "And Jen... thanks." she'd smile and close the door from the other side leaving Jenny with her own thoughts.

Whatever Jennys thoughts were they were her own, seemed her visit to Kings Coast was coming to an end... be it for better or worse. From her arrival to the creepish town, to her struggles during the mists... from the Golden Girls to the Magical Academy. Jennys mind rushed through the dark dungeons and chambers she waded, wandering to much more curious encounter be it with Riley or the strange druid. From dreaded sexual encounter to her bright life in the bar...

Those thoughts in mind, Jenny closed her eyes and wouldn't even feel herself swept into a deep slumber.

A loud crash would jerk Jenny awake! "Careful!" someone outside called out. Stretching lazily Jenny could glance outside to see a decent brigade of people taking off a roof from one of the nearby buildigs, the itty-bitty servos running around as people all helped with the rebuilding. Perhaps more surprising was just who lead the brigade! In fairly shoddy clothes, Meril stood and commanded the works! Seemed Kings Coast was busy with it's reconstruction, hopefully keen to start a new.

Either way with Jenny up, the girl needed to finalise her final decisions. Including who she still needed to visit... and who would come with her on this treck.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny looked out the window before giving wistful smile and promptly rolled back over and placed a blanket over her head trying to snooze for longer. Still eventually she would get up and get dressed once more and check on the other girls before trying to find out what Riley and Grace had been able to get from Ezekiel.
