EVENT | LANDFALL | EVIDET

[ironwood]

Characters: ALL!
Date: January 28th to February 11th
Location: Evidet
Situation: Tu Vishan has washed up near the coastal city of Khatronma.
Warnings/Rating: Add warnings as needed.



The suddenness of the looming cliffs takes even the kedan by surprise, in spite of a number of them trying to plot their course with as much knowledge of the ocean’s currents as they already had. Tu Vishan makes landfall without any of the grace shown in previous times, bumping into the cliffs before finally coming to rest on the reef and rocks at the low tide around Khatronma.

Most of Khatronma's shores consist of steep iced cliffs, and once it becomes clear there is no threat, the residents of Khatronma oblige by establishing scaffolding across from the walls of their city to the turtle’s back. A customs area is quickly set apart, and the residents of Keeliai welcomed -- with some slight confusion. The Khatronmans are just as surprised by the unexpected docking as the kedan.

Nelo Angelo looked back at her as she Inquired on his question. "The battle with the archangel. I would like to hear the story sometime." Yeah, he said heal before but he didn't realize that.

[redlightgreenlight]

For some reason, Valdis' mood brightened at the thought of sharing the story with someone who might understand, someone who wouldn't judge what she had been and perhaps even appreciate the power she wielded instead of fearing and hating it.

"I would love to share it," She replied, "But perhaps not here. Maybe once we get back to the Midnight Hotel."

[walkthedarkpath]

"That sounds most agreeable. When we get back, maybe over tea?" He likes tea he had discovered ages ago. Granted, Vergil is a snob about tea so that was Vergil shining through.

"So, again, do you think if we took any of this metal we could turn a profit of it?"

[redlightgreenlight]

Valdis nodded, though she wondered how much detail she should put into the story, not even Wan knew everything and he knew more than most people.

"I'm certain that the Kedan would love to get their hands on some of this," she replied, "But don't take too much, we are guests here and don't want to offend our hosts."

[walkthedarkpath]

"It would be nice to be able to take care of my own needs opposed to being a burden on my brother." Yes he has taken to calling Dante that, it seems to make Dante happy and he owes the man so much. "Not too much... Alright." He moved to look about. Something that might fetch a price but not be too much.

"I promise to not take long, I do wish to hear this story." he really did, he could use something exciting.

[redlightgreenlight]

She couldn't help but smile when he called Dante his 'brother' and she nodded in understanding, "Meet back here in a hour?"

She planned on scavenging a bit as well.

"Then we can go back together."

[walkthedarkpath]

"That works perfectly well for me I will likely be here waiting. And if your not against it, would you mind accompanying me when I do try to sell it?" He is worried about getting ripped off again. "Money is fairly new to me." He didnt get paid for his services for Mundus. He never really had to pay for anything in his years brainwashed.

He smiled a little, todays gonna be nice.

[redlightgreenlight]

"Of course," She agreed, moving off to find another pile, "See you then."

[walkthedarkpath]

He will take his time looking for scrap that looks both in mostly good shape and heavy. He has the strength he figures weight beats quanity in this situation. But when the hour passes, his hands are dirty along with the poor tan tunic shirt but he is waiting as promised with the small pile of metal waiting.

[redlightgreenlight]

Valdis returned, carrying a small bundle of her own treasures and wordlessly handed Nelo a small bag to put his scraps in.

"We should get back before Dante wonders where you've wandered off to." She said.

[walkthedarkpath]

He nodded a thanks, taking the bag to put the scraps in, still keeping the bag in both hands since he picked heavier bits instead of bigger pieces of metal.

"I would hope he wouldn't worry. I am quite capable of caring for myself." He spoke in his normal tone. "shall we be off then?"

[redlightgreenlight]

"As am I," She replied, smiling, "But he worries anyway."

She watched him gather up his things and then she began to lead them back towards Keeliai.

[walkthedarkpath]

He nodded some, if he's learned anything about the hunter...not his brother, it is that the man is stubborn. Someone that could be depended on even when he didnt want help, Dante was there and not condescending. "...He is very good to us both." he looked to her. "You smile more when you speak of him. He must be a good ally." He wondered how mad Dante would get if he took out his brother's competition for the woman. He still figures he will die when Vergil is set free, anyay.

[redlightgreenlight]

Her smile died and she shot Nelo a look of uncertainty as she wondered how many other people had noticed such a thing. She herself hadn't even noticed until he had said something.

"He is," she replied carefully, "I know that I can always count on him."

[walkthedarkpath]

"I did not mean to offend if I did. The smile brightens your features. Not many smile where I am from." He added, he was more rooting for Dante, he figured her feeings were more friendly as another man was involved. "So I am learning, strange to meet such agreeable demons."

[redlightgreenlight]

"There is no offense," She replied, "I'm just not used to people pointing out such things." She sighed, "I'll admit that I'm not used to meeting demons without an ulterior motive beneath every action."

[walkthedarkpath]

"That is understandable. I merely pointed it out, because it seems like you are not the type to smile with ease. Not that there is a problem with that. I rarely do myself. And finally someone with a bit of sense finally." He actually chuckled, and Dante was not there to see it, damn. "I am still waiting for the storm to come. There has been too much calm." He explained. Mundus was still in his nightmares but that would likely go away. "You have nothing I want, nor does he. There is no honor in doing harm to those who have helped you."

[redlightgreenlight]

"Honor is relative," She replied, "People change and I do not trust easily, but for some reason I trust you, perhaps it is because Dante trusts you." She sighed, "At some point a storm will come, but we will just have to band together and weather it like we have done before."

[walkthedarkpath]

"I can not begin to understand why he trusts me, but I will say it is oddly comforting. Likewise with you by extension." Which is why he followed without question. He trusts her because Dante trusts her. "No matter what happens, I hope we will remain allies." Allies were better in his eye then friends. A common goal.

"I like storms, so even if it gets bad I will be fine, we will all get through as you say."

[redlightgreenlight]

"Yes," She replied, continuing to lead him through the strange city, "Allies."

His choice of words was odd, but she had to agree with them nonetheless.

[walkthedarkpath]

He follows along with ease. She is a formidable woman and that makes her interesting to him. "I plan to go out later on my own to explore. If Dante asks around that is where I will be." he explained since she mentioned Dante earlier.

[redlightgreenlight]

"I'll let him know," She said, turning the last corner and leading the way back onto the turtle, "Do be careful, though."

[walkthedarkpath]

"I will, do not worry. I will be fine either way." In the time of the walk he's already let it slip that he needed her to help him sell the metal. His minds been wandering while they walked.

[redlightgreenlight]

She smiled at him, remembering how he had asked her to help him earlier. "I know that you can take care of yourself."

[walkthedarkpath]

"Thank you." He felt better, he'd not admit it aloud but it felt so alien to have someone so concerned for his well being.

"One day soon, if we find a spot we should test our skills. I wonder how my blade will stand up to yours." A demon blade against one an archangel had used.
