Tapas Adventuring RP 2020-2021!

“Yeah... I’ve almost... got it...” Gen leaned side-to-side slightly while he pulled, attempting to wiggle the blade free. “It’s definitely moving.”

“It is?” Erras sounded surprised.

---

“Strange...” Bellah said to herself, glancing at her hand expecting it to be wet, but it wasn’t.

“I have not met another like you...” she said to the man. “What are you?”

[Random_Guy]

@AmazementComics
Little by little, the blade continues coming out.
"Are we to take that to mean you doubted our training?" Alpha-7 questions Erras.

---

The man looks surprised that Bellah asked him about that, and tries to sign something to her. He moves very animatedly, perhaps as a result of the mask making his features unreadable.

(Useful little fact: Stockade knows some limited ASL, not enough to properly hold a conversation, but enough to translate a bit of what Whisp says.)

[AmazementComics]

Lucretia and Marcus simply watched Genii instead of commenting further. Xola and Pholaron's antennas were touching again.

[DualDragons]

@Legendofgenii @AmazementComics
As the trio was passing through the woods to return to the gate, they came across Genii, Alpha-7, Erras, Lucretia and Marcus.

Genii was... pulling out a sword? Daemon raises an eyebrow as he carries Cate while Serenity carries the buffalo.

[Legendofgenii]

@AmazementComics

“No, no.” Erras shook his head. “I am very impressed with Genii’s progress and-“

“You are?” Gen stopped pulling on the sword for a minute and stared at the Knight.

“I am.” Erras nodded with a smile.

Gen had a huge grin on his face as he grabbed hold of the sword’s grip again and gave it all he had.

---

Bellah recoiled slightly as the masked man began to move his arms around, but eventually realised it was some form of communication. Perhaps one of their group could decipher what he was saying?

“Stop.” Bellah held her palm up to halt the man’s signing. “Come.” She gestured for the stranger to follow, heading for the tavern.

[Random_Guy]

@AmazementComics @DualDragons
The sword bursts out of the stone at his final tug.

---

The man pauses from his signing at her order to stop, and jumps a little when instructed to follow, quickly hurrying after her.

[AmazementComics]

Lucretia waves her hands in the air.

Lucretia: "Woot woot!!"
Marcus: "My man's swole now. HA!"

He said to Genii about pulling out the sword.

[DualDragons]

@Legendofgenii @AmazementComics
"Well done!" Daemon congratulates Genii after he pulled out the sword. Serenity nods, she can't clap because she is carrying the buffalo.

[Legendofgenii]

@AmazementComics @DualDragons

"Yeah, I did it!" Gen shouted as he realised, he held the sword up and waved it.

"Bravo!" Erras praised, and clapped.

"... is that a cow?" Gen squinted and pointed the sword over at Daemon, Cate and Serenity.

---

Bellah occasionally looked back to make sure the stranger was still following. As she reached the tavern she held the door open and jerked her head indicating that he should enter.

[Random_Guy]

@DualDragons @AmazementComics
Alpha-7 applauds Gen proudly.

---

The man looks between Bellah and the door for a second before entering, looking around in confusion at all the people.

(It's chill, you want to wait a minute for @Legendofgenii? Bellah and newcomer Whisp just entered the tavern.)

[Legendofgenii]

Gen wasn’t quite sure what to do with the sword, so he headed over to Alpha-7 to give it back to them.

“Thanks...” He said once he reached them, neglecting to actually hand the sword over. “... for... you know... pushing me and stuff...”

Erras smiled and walked away to speak with Lucretia and Marcus.

---

Bellah followed the stranger inside, but made sure to get back in front of him, so he could see her. She looked around the tavern for any members of her party... preferably the calm/sensible ones.

[Random_Guy]

"Just make sure to keep up your training." A7 smiles, reaching out to take the sword, "Don't want to let all that progress slip away!"

---

Blink is floating around messing with people, while Stockade is sitting at the bar, scratching Tene's chin.

The stranger looks around nervously at all the people, not really sure what to do.

[KilljoyConstruct]

(Anyone available to RP with?)

[AmazementComics]

Lucretia: "He's really come a long way hasn't he?"

She asked Erras.

[Random_Guy]

(Gonna say they're next to Stockade at the bar, since I think Bellah's headed that way, with the mute boi in tow.)

(His appearance in the meantime:)

They look as though they're made of some kind of pitch black liquid, though their form is that of a human male, and wear a long grey cloak around their body. On their back, hidden beneath the cloak, is a large, dangerously sharp-looking hook or claw. They have their hood pulled up, and what seems to be a stark white mask on their face, with two black lines running down it, across the eyes, and no mouth hole.

(Like this, without the protrusions on the back.)

(Head up to see the hook comparison.)

The stranger gratefully takes Bellah's hand, whatever he's made of is cool to the touch, and while it does feel like a liquid it is very much solid. He weighs very little, maybe 25 pounds.

(He's 5'11", and moves very animatedly, since he can't express himself due to the "mask".)

[Random_Guy]

(I am here, I have Blink free right now.)

[KilljoyConstruct]

(Cool. Anyone in particular you’d prefer to interact with?)
