Mana P4y1s09

Mana: And so it was written: Pokiehlember 4th, Year 1, Undine's Day.
Mana: On some occasions, deep beneath the earth, on Giant's Road, say, leading up from the Forest of Monuments -
Mana: There are goblins. Skull-masked, long-eared, axe-toting, belligerent.
Mana: On this occasion, really.
Wilhelmine has much the same policy towards goblins that goblins do towards humans.
Mana: Just around this corner. "Yah!" "Charge!" "Kill them all!" "There's one!" "Kill her!" "Yeah!"

Mana: Status for Goblin A [F] : [==========]
Mana: Status for Goblin B [F] : [==========]
Mana: Wilhelmine is a little better at turning corners than goblins.
Wilhelmine almost considers not even bother dropping into a proper fighting stance this time, but thinks better of it. After doing so, she stands right back up and casually sends Goblin B a greeting by fist-to-face. [Dragon Dance 15D, Sneak Attack 10D]

[OOC] Wilhelmine: HP: 492/530, MP: 368/530, SoS: 132
Mana: Wham - the goblin and Wilhelmine go flying off the highway, landing on the shoulder of one of a myriad forgotten, stone Atlases, bearing the spiral road in their fingers. Locked in close combat - it's Provoke (4)!
Mana: Battle order: Wilhelmine [F]:0 Goblin B [F]:4 Goblin A [F]:34
Mana: Status for Goblin A [F] : [==========]
Mana: Status for Goblin B [F] : [======= ]
Wilhelmine chuckles, then picks Goblin A up by his skull mask. "You think you're clever, don't you?" She clicks her tongue-stud against her teeth, then leaps backward, goblin-in-tow, through the [Pursuit Gate, 10D].

Wilhelmine rolled d8+90 and got 2 ( Total: 92.0 )
Wilhelmine isn't even thinking about the goblins at this point. Next stop: the SDU, for certain. There was that business about the spinners, and she wanted to speak with Professor Frog, but before all that, there's one thing she needed to prepare for.
[OOC] Mana: 92]! The goblin, however, is thinking about goblins. Again!
Mana: Battle order: Wilhelmine [F]:0 Goblin B [F]:22
Mana: Status for Goblin B [F] : [==== ]
Wilhelmine kicks the goblin to the curb, dusts her hands, then continues on her way. [Sneak Attack Kick, 19D]

Wilhelmine rolled d10*1.5+120*1.5 and got 10 ( Total: 195.0 )
Mana: WHAM - [195]! It explodes!
[OOC] Mana: Got 6 AP. Got 800 EXP. Got 160 Lucre.
Wilhelmine clicks the Poison Pill against her teeth again and grins as she makes her way to the university. [Learned _ Shot!]
Mana: The Shade District University. Or Kuro Kuro Carceri, as it's called. _ _ _ _.
Mana: Bonfire in the courtyard. Room on the spinners now, as the whisper goes.
Mana: Like when a great tree falls in the forest -
Mana: Or, you know, the fall of a great whale.
Wilhelmine stands before the _ _ _ _. She's not entirely sure what's going to happen. She certainly doesn't know what the hell she's doing. But this world is ripping apart at the seams. As far as she can tell, this has all the signs of such a tear - and she hopes the knowledge she gains here will serve to mend it.
Mana: The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. A subterranean wind rustles through the courtyard trees. _ _ _.
Wilhelmine rubs her eyes for a moment and tries out that formless mess of a technique. You know, that technique - the _ Shot.
Mana: Practicing with a few blows, I imagine - going through the _ motions, maybe even slamming your fist against the _. The _ _ resounds _.
Mana: Feels like, you know, it's missing something.
Wilhelmine: It certainly does. Maybe the truth to the technique isn't hidden, but just hasn't been filled in yet?
Mana: A reasonable hypothesis.
Mana: Until that time, the _ _ _ _, and the _ Shot, will be waiting for you.
[OOC] Mana: _ Shot inflicts weapon damage.
Wilhelmine folds her arms. That feeling's familiar, though - it's been a while since she ran across something truly mysterious. Is it the pursuit of knowledge she had as a student?
Wilhelmine: - Or is it the obvious, where she fills the seams of the world with a certain other something?
Mana: It's not - exactly - thirsting for an artifact. There's a pull there, but it's not the same.
Mana: …Of course…
Mana: …That doesn't mean it has to stop you!
Wilhelmine paces for a moment, then heads to the Vertical Markets.
Mana: Water sloughs through the steep incline, in one side of the fountain and spilling out the other.
Mana: Lights gently flicker.
Mana: Distant Sky Imports is here, if you wanted to stop in.
Wilhelmine gives the proprietor a familiar wave as she steps in. "Like I said. Didn't die."
Mana: "Wonderful! Wonderful. Would have been quite disappointed if you did, you know."
Wilhelmine: "Well. I can't."
Mana: "You know, they say… ah, nevermind." He rifles through some drawers, considering wares.
Wilhelmine shrugs. "I'll take the usual - a dozen candies, that is - and two bottles of Toada."
Mana: "Easily done. Not that I can be bothered to do the math on it, so just slide it over, hm?"
Wilhelmine nods, and rummages through her coat for the exact amount. "Fourteen times fifty. 700."
Mana: He throws the bag over his shoulder, nodding. "Enjoy."
Mana: It lands… somewhere back there.
Mana: The coins go spilling out over a crate.
Mana: And then he passes the goods over, of course!
Wilhelmine doesn't bat an eye and gives a wave as she turns to go out. (He's strange, but not as strange as her.) "Thanks. And take care"
Mana: "Of course!"
Wilhelmine eyes one of the bottles as she makes her way back to the Kero Kero Carceri. Is there any pull between it and the _?
Mana: No. Hm.
Mana: …I wonder who has experience dealing with _, anyway?
Mana: (Or, moreover, who could even discuss it…?)
Mana: And so it was written. For now, at least.
