If I told her I knew her that would be metagaming

After some things happened, I saw a malicious figure step toward me, burning with eyes of flame. Didn't look like a bandit to me. Then he stepped away, revealing a young woman in 5* armor.

This looked a ton like a bandit. But well, you know, just in case she's friendly and all, and all that other kind of stuff...

I sheathed my Nightblade (thank god I could stop holding it, I was already feeling the power of evil invading my mind... or was that something else?) and greeted her. But how did she know my name...

"Um, hello, Gwen... I seem to have a few bandits who are chasing me here, let me hit some of them first." With that, I unsheathed my Nightblade again, charged it up, and unleashed a charge attack, taking out a few bandits. I repeated this process. They were simply everywhere, however. Soon, I was completely overrun by bandits. But as long as I could hold on to the last strand of consciousness I had... I held out my Defender weakly. A blue aura formed around me, knocking back all of the bandits. I wasn't Nightblade charging at this point, I was too weak, and it would be futile to attack. More bandits came. God how I wish Gwen would help me right now...

Those eyes...

With Sanaca and Arch...

A ghostly blade rips through the assassins, followed by a Gran Faust through their skulls. When they drop to the ground, a Void Chieftan takes their place. The other bandits try to attack it, but their swords just bounce off its menacing black armor. It ignores their attacks at first, attempting to reach Sanaca and Arch, but gets annoyed with the constant sword strikes and absent-mindedly crushes a bandit's skull. The rest of them realize the futility of their assault and try to flee. Sanaca and Arch aren't able to see what happens to them from the alleyway, but they can hear their terrified screams along with the sounds of ripping flesh and the occasional Valiance charge.

The Void Chieftan slowly extends its hand to Sanaca and Arch, possibly indicating peaceful intent. Could it really be true?...

With Albert...

"GWEN!!" Sanaca screams. I recognize that voice... Gwen springs into action. She whips around and spots several bandits ganging up in an alleyway. Help them, she telepathically orders the Chieftan. He charges up his Gran Faust and unleashes it on the unlucky bandits. Confident that he would succeed, Gwen turns to the bandits ganging up on Albert. She draws her gunblade and darts past them, leaving a trail of blood and dead bandits in her wake. She gracefully flips over the fleeing stragglers and drops them with a spin upon landing.

She sheaths her gunblade behind her back and strolls back up to Albert. "You were saying?"

Eh. Now, all I need to do, is make a Silent Nightblade. I told this to Gwen. "However, I don't have an Alchemy Machine at hand to make them with." Crafting items greater than 3* quality is painstaking without an alchemy machine. It requires a great amount of time, during which you can't use the weapon. Since I didn't have any weapon besides this that I could use (I had this Nightblade, my calibur with half the blade smashed off, and a blaster which is now completely broken, and no other swords or guns. If I tried to use a bomb I would probably blow myself to pieces, which while it gets rid of my runes, it will also probably kill me.), I couldn't craft a Silent Nightblade without probably getting robbed by bandits. In fact, bandits were EVERYWHERE, and there would probably be STILL MORE random bandits that would look around and see that I have over 3000 crowns in my knapsack.

Albert meets Sanaca

Gwen crosses her arms and smirks. "You did well, by the way. Charge spamming your Nightblade isn't the most skilled maneuver, but one can't always afford to be fancy these days. Besides, there's no good reason to waste your skills and energy defeating noobs." She kicks a dead body. "Good riddance." She then takes Albert's arm and leads him out into the street. "Come. There's someone you should meet." She drags Albert up to Sanaca and Arch and plants her hands on her hips. "Well well well! I'm surprised you're still alive. Why are you still here? There's a Spiral Order space shuttle sitting in a clearing not five miles hence." She pointed west towards the dead forest. "Don't worry, I emptied it out. There's nobody alive or dead in there anymore."

Gwen: *sends person to help them* "surprised you're still alive"

(in response to the below) "Well yes, I just arrived in this wasteland today, but it feels like forever since I got dropped in this hellhole."

(stuff goes here)

"Hey wait, if it's supposed to go back to the Spiral Order, won't we be shot?" (OOC: Yea well it's sorta metagaming, but I think everyone's been told they would be shot if they interacted with anyone or anything belonging to the SO)

Sanaca stared in awe at the creature that could be described in no other way than powerful, as it stormed through the bandits. Like leaves in the wind, they stood no chance. As it approached them, Sanaca grabbed tightly onto Archemiday, making him blush slightly. There was nothing they could do but watch as the thing approached, becoming more menacing as it did. Squeezing her eyes shut, Sanaca remained clinging onto Archemiday. For a second she thought that perhaps she was hallucinating? Opening one eye, she realized that she was in quite an awkward position and pushed herself off of Archemiday, mumbling "Sorry..." Half expecting the thing to be gone, Sanaca looked up to see it holding its hand held out passively. Nervously, Sanaca took it, and it helped her up. Archmiday flapped his wings, bringing him to his feet, still glaring at the thing cautiously.

Gwen ran over, Knight in hand. Sanaca vaguely recalled seeing him before, and for the moment, said,

"You're that Knight that just arrived, along with those others!" Strange things barely visible on his skin brought Sanaca back to reality. "OH! Gwen! Are you okay? What's going on?" Ignoring what Gwen had said, Sanaca didn't hear in her worry, she immediately began to look over Gwen. "Arche told me what that thing is, I- er- Y-You're... Gwen, are you feeling okay?" Archemiday stepped up, putting his hand on Sanaca's shoulder.

"What was that about a shuttle?" He asked. Sanaca almost didn't hear it the second time, she had only known Gwen for so little, but knowing that there was nothing she could do while she could be suffering like that...

"A shuttle?" She turned to Archemiday, then back to Gwen.

I'm not okay, but it's okay that I'm not okay.

Gwen bowed her head and looked up at Sanaca. "I'm not okay, Sanaca. I'm...I'm..." She cleared her throat and straightened up. "I am the Swarm now. PLEASE!! Don't...don't try to kill me; that...that would NOT be a good idea."

(OOC: right after she declares her part of the Swarm, I'd expect someone to reach for a weapon. Hence the "please" in all caps.)

The Void Chieftans stirred, disturbed because Gwen was disturbed. They made no move on their weapons, but the tension was obvious. Gwen looked at Arch sorrowfully. "Guess that means we can't...never mind, it's no use thinking about it. Just...find the ship, and...you know, give 'em what-for. You know who I mean." She tapped her foot nervously on the floor and sighed. "Look, it wasn't my fault! I didn't ask to be branded! How can I help it if I get kidnapped and made to rejoin the Swarm?" She dropped her arms in exasperation, half-expecting to be shot at.

I guess I'm okay with you being not okay, but that's okay.

Sanaca felt more and more uncomfortable as Gwen explained the situation, more and more in shock. Archemiday clasped his Flourish, but reluncatnly let go as Gwen quickly discouraged it.

"Gwen, I - I... I want to help you, I don't want you like, like that! I cannot imagine the sort of suffering you may be going through... When you first came back all delirious, now you can't even get a full grip on your mind." Sanaca dropped, why did she feel so helpless? Why did she care so much about Gwen anyway?

Together

Gwen dropped to her knees with Sanaca, where they sat in silence for a few moments. "I'm not suffering, Sanaca," she said at length, "but someday, I will hurt you and your friends." She held Sanaca's cheeks and gazed into her eyes. "We must not let that happen. You gotta get out of Vendetta before...before I do anything I'll regret someday. Can you do that?"

Hmm what to do...

Sanaca stared deeply into Gwen's eyes, seeing a flicker of light in them, and a sense if familiarity.

"You're right." Sanaca stood up, she finally understood her feelings now. In such a desperate situation, meeting new friends and going through thick and thin, no matter how long you've known each other, really brings people together. Sanaca never had the chance, and probably never would, to enjoy her friendship with Gwen on normal terms, that was what was agitating her. "Okay, Gwen, I trust you, and I know that you'll make it through this."

Sanaca paused, just peered longingly at the friend that she once had, then swiftly ran back to the Inn, retrieving the Shadow Silver. "I have no idea what's going on in my head right now, but I want you to keep this." Sanaca placed the ominous metal in Gwen's hands; it seemed to glitter and shine even more, reflecting things in a dark purple sheen. "So what do we do now?"

Taking the gift

Gwen examined the piece of Shadow Silver. It was the most contradictory alloy she'd ever seen; it seemed to dim under bright light and shine under great darkness. Light and shadow were at peace, strengthening one another, and it gave her hope. She brought it close to her chest and shut her eyes.

At break of dawn, go home and find my place
Smell the lilies, sniff the air, slow thy pace.
Feel soft, wet grass beneath thy tender feet,
Taste strawberries, moist, and fine to eat.
Watch the sunset wave good bye to thee
Goodbye, my friend; enjoy it all without me.

She gently blew onto the metal piece, placed it into Sanaca's hand, and folded her fingers over it. "When the night is overcome, raise it high up towards the sun. Listen, do its words, and savor. Live and do me this one favor." With that, Gwen vanished. The Void Chieftans gave Sanaca, Arch, and Albert one last warning glance before teleporting away.

(OOC: sorry, I just had to have her speak with poetry. :3 Also, Gwen informed them of the Spiral starship in the forest earlier, suggesting that they go there. It's called the S.K.S. Stallion; the savage army landed on Vendetta with it, as you may recall.)

(OOC: There is no Sun Steel. They used it all on Divine Avengers.)

I watch as Gwen and the Chieftains disappear to somewhere (presumably to the Core). After, I turn to Arch and Sanaca, and tell them, "There's something in my head, that I can't quite shut out. It's trying to control me... Sanaca, is there anything you can do to, like, swear off this thing? Like I don't know! Might be related to some runes I have near my chest."

(OOC: Anyway, I hope this Void bug doesn't completely clog up my artery and give me a heart attack or some crap)

Sorry, time is of the essence...

A tear rolled down Sanaca's cheek, glittering in the moonlight's rays. The poem had touched Sanaca's heart, so strongly, she felt like she couldn't get back up. Not even noticing Gwen's departure, Sanaca held the returned gift loosely, but now it was different. She could feel it in her hands. The metal was no longer dangerous, for 'evil' was a false concept. It was merely two opposing forces, but the Shadow Silver reflected a co-balance that held the two in a stable continuum. Sanaca let the tear drop off her face, not caring to move. Gwen would be okay. She was the same person, and always would be. Archemiday pulled Sanaca up to her feet, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"I... Don't know what to say." The two remained motionless, basking in the silvery light of the moon. After awhile, Sanaca gently pushed Archemiday's hand off her shoulder. Absent mindly returning her attention to Albert she hesitated, then spoke.

"Oh. I'm sorry about that... Did you say anything?" Her voice was strangely shaky, yet devoid of much emotion.

"I think we should head for the shuttle." Archemiday suggested. He put his hand in his pocket and relaxed as he felt his fingers slip over the piece of paper that meant so much.

Remembering

Gwen vanished under the cloak of darkness and crept away to the edge of town. She looked back and gazed one last time at Sanaca; where a new acquaintance once stood, there now was an old friend. Strange were the times that brought them together, and stranger were the experiences that made them friends. Now they stood on the brink of existence, staring into the abyss of sorrow, bracing themselves for the onslaught of insanity that sought to tear them apart, with nought but a farewell and a few tears to herald it.

She tore herself away from her friend and stepped across the border. When she reached the cover of the forest, she uncloaked and summoned her Chieftans. "Tell me, are there other Chieftans in the area?" One of them nodded. "Yes. There are two more; one resides ten miles north of Vendetta in the ice realms. The other resides in a cavern system three miles east of Vendetta. Neither clan is aware of the other." Gwen raised an eyebrow. "Clan? Do you mean to tell me that each Chieftan controls a portion of the Swarm?" All three Chieftans nodded. "Excellent. Let us first find the Chieftan in the caverns," Gwen decided. "When the Order comes to slay us, we must be prepared."

((The shuttle was first introduced here. It's a good deal smaller than the Skylark, but large enough to carry about 100 or so fully-armed soldiers in its quarters (and cargo bay). It contains the basic facilities, including a cryo storage bay, medical facilities, mess hall, brig, bridge, and such like. It's a sleek, streamlined vessel often used to transport high-ranking personnel. Strangely, it was used to carry an army of messy, bloody savages to Vendetta. Go figure.))

"Yes, we should. It should be taking off in... something like 20 minutes?" I agreed. Suddenly, "Oh hey, what's that?" I took the Shadow Silver from Sanaca's hands. "So this is a small piece of Shadow Silver. That's rare around here, but bandits seem to like collecting it. Do you think there's anything special about it?" He put it back in Sanaca's hands.

Shuttle malfunction

((The shuttle is past the forest to the west, which means you gotta go through the forest first. And then there's the problem that the Spiral Order wouldn't be stupid enough to give you a means of escape; the shuttle is missing some important parts that allowe it I land, but not take off. You'll probably have to craft these parts yourselves.))

Oh gee, Thin, you just made the story fun again ^^

"You've heard of it before? It seemed to be quite secretive when we first got it." Sanaca explained. "It's an incredibly powerful alloy supposedly, and it might corrupt those that hang around it, or at least that's what the Shop Keeper told us." Sanaca paused, inspecting the metal further than she had done so previously. "But I'm pretty sure we don't have to worry about corruption anymore." Turning back to Archemiday, Sanaca nodded her head. "Let's head to that shuttle!"

Pow-Posts-Again

I'm losing crucial time for this fanfic

So I guess I'm going to make a leaving post right now. I might be sent back if I become active again.

Anyway, in character,

I knew that Cloud always rescues me when I'm in the most trouble. Once, he managed to save me from being killed by Vanaduke. I suspect him to come soon.

My suspicions were right - indeed he was coming to rescue me. Over the horizon, I saw a faint image of a divine Knight, with Valkyrie Helm and Radiant Silvermail, with a Divine Avenger, double Argent Peacemakers, a Final Flourish and a Leviathan Blade. Without much inspection, I knew who it was.

'CLOUD!' I shouted. 'I knew you would come! I knew you wouldn't leave me here for eternity!'

I heard his voice fly through the air like flowing magic. 'No worries, Pow. Time to get ya back home.' My smile became 'twice as big' as I heard the words

I had little time for goodbyes, so I turned to Sanaca and Arch and said 'Farewell.' I then turned back to Cloud. A tear of joy ran down my eye. I was no longer trapped in this reincarnation of the underworld.

'Wow, Pow. I have noticed that something about you has changed. By the way, I like how you sneakily stuffed a little something into the crest without the Order noticing it.'
'What changed was that I ended up somewhere which I absolutely hated, so I adapted to killing bandits on sight. I did get a few friends though.' I ponted to Sanaca and Arch who were running towards the shuttle in the forest.
'I understand. Once I was condemned to be sent here, but they forgot I had wings, so I flew into the judge's face and knocked him out of his chair.'
'Well, we're low on time, so let's get cracking!'

With that, I got on Cloud's back. He then projected a divine bubble to stop me from falling. He then headed in the direction of Haven, his wings letting us soar into the air.

FORTY MINUTES LATER

We finally arrived just outside the Haven Arcade. We went in and talked to Feron.

He spoke to me in a much softer voice than usual. 'Pow, what happened? We haven't had a sign of you for weeks. Your guild members have been complaining!'
I said in reply 'Falsely arrested. If it wasn't for Cloud. I wouldn't be here. That's an advantage about having a friend who has wings and never lies.'
'I see. We found your judge, and he was sent to Emberlight to be held in a Gremlin prison. By the way, here's your old Arsenal.' He then handed me a large Toughbox, in my personal colour with the inscription 'Powpowpowpowpowpow' on it. I got back into my old Perfect Seerus Mask and Mighty Cobalt armour. I grabbed my Mighty Defender and strapped it onto my left hand. I took out my Carver, my DTB, my WRH and my DR and put them in my backpack. I grasped my Super Blaster and put it in my holster. I was back and ready for duty.
'Thanks, mate.' I then headed into the Garrison, and took the elevator down to my Guild Hall.

I was met with a MASSIVE welcome-back party. Guildmates were shooting confetti Blasters everywhere and throwing me large chunks of Crystal Energy and Crimsonite. I put them all in my property box. I entered the Command Console room and to my delight, there were two Vanguards saluting me. I couldn't tell who they were, but they indeed were wearing the Monsterslayer Crest. I opened up the interface on the Console and checked the Treasury. There were four hundred thousand crowns waiting for me to spend.

My second-in-command ran into the room. 'POW!' she shouted, the plumes on her Tailed Helm swinging like crazy. 'You're BACK!'
'Indeed I am' I said. 'I see that the Guild managed to cope without me. Oh, by the way, I like the new theme.'
'While you were away, I ran the guild temporarily. I added this theme, and to make the temperature the same, I chose this environment. I also expanded the Guild Hall to suit all our needs. We even reserved a new room just for you. Follow me.'
I then followed her as she walked to the west wing, then walked upstairs to floor 3. She then walked to the second room to the left. 'Here you go. I even furnished the room a bit for your liking. I hope you appreciate it.'
'I do. Thanks!' Then she walked down to her room on the first floor to the west.

I had a Champion battle stand, a blue bed, a white footlocker, three blue chars and a white table on the left of my room. On the right, there was a Vanguard stand, a Blue Wardrobe, a Blue Supply Shelf, three Red Chests of Drawers, one Weapon Crate and two Toughboxes on the right. A fully juiced up Energy Well was in the centre. There were two Blue Light Beacons at the doorway. I placed my property box next to the two Toughboxes.

My turn.

The moon fled to the horizon as the sun awoke from his slumber in the sky. The sky blushed, tickled pink that the sun saw fit to sleep with her, and they shared their morning glory together with the world. The mountains cast their shadows to the ground in disapproval, and looked down upon the happy couple from their mighty thrones in the sky. In their arrogance, they failed to notice a young human woman disappear into the caverns beneath them.

When Gwen stepped inside, the musty aroma of the underground rose up to meet her. The mountain rock was cold, gray, and unforgiving, and echoed eerily beneath her feet with every step. Gwen summoned a fireball in her palm, and the shadows hastily retreated to their holes and crevices. She marched through the cavern, undaunted and undeterred by any potential dangers lurking ahead, with her Chieftans dutifully clanking behind her.

Visitors were quite rare in this corner of the world, so the clan Chieftan was naturally curious to greet them. Void forms screeched with delight and scurried to surround and examine these strange new bipeds. "GrEEtinGs. whO aRe YoU?" the clan Chieftan rumbled. Gwen clenched her fist, immediately dispelling her fireball and sending a shockwave of fear through the Void ranks. "We are Queen Gwenyvier, whom you have so arrogantly addressed. We require your loyalty and obedience." She carried her voice with a powerful, regal air that left everyone, even herself, a little stunned. Silence reigned over the gathering for a few tense moments. To her surprise, the Chieftan slowly began to nod. "We Will oBeY." He kneeled before her, and the rest of the clan followed suit.

Excellent.

After a bit (And I mean a LOT) of running, I crash into a rocket. Upon closer inspection, it appears to be a shuttle. "Well, we found the shuttle." I kicked the engine. It fell off immediately, releasing a bucketload of screws. "Well, it's defective. I'm not a mechanic, so I can't fix it. Any of you can fix this thing?" I kick it again, firmly but not so firm that the whole thing falls apart. The elevons and rudder fall off. "Goddammit, how do they BUILD these things? Well, regardless, we still need to fix this shuttle, AND give it a few extra parts as it seems to be missing some. Any volunteers?" I say, looking at Arch.

"I could fix it. I am basically a walking heap of metal. Just find the parts and I'll put em on." I crouched down and started putting parts back on, and starting to investigate what parts would be needed. "Sana, do we have any food packed?" I asked. I was starting to get a little hungry.

"I'm not a mechanic either, but by the looks of it, it doesn't seem like we'll be able to use this thing for some time." Feeling her bag, Sanaca frowned. "I'm afraid we don't have any food." Sanaca walked a bit around, inspecting the shuttle until she found the way in. An idea sprung into her head and she smiled. "Let's see if we can find anything in here! I bet it's gotta have something to eat! And who knows, maybe the parts will be inside!" Sanaca ran inside, not waiting for the others. She didn't especially want to hang out side as the night continued, she considered it luck that the three of them where not attacked after entering the forest. She was also beginning to become hungry herself.

(OOC: Just want to say that I don't want us to fix the ship real quick or easy, I want it to last a while and be quite a challenge, so we can do a lot more things.)

About an hour prior...

An angelic figure comes and greets Pow, they presumably know each other. Sanaca stares in disbelief as the man takes Pow away, his face almost as bright as the man who was taking him away, with elation. He waves to the group, and Sanaca snaps out of her stupor, waving back meakly, as they disappear upon the horizon. How strange, Sanaca thought questioningly.

To Sanaca's delight, there was in fact a mess hall, upon which there was food! Albert entered, his search having produced little results. Sanaca nodded to his suggestion.

I headed inside the ship. I mumbled as I slowly walked in. "Foooooood q-q". I walked into what looked like a mess hall, and proceeded to raid the fridge. I took out a baloney and cheese sandwich and ate it. I sat down and rested my head on the table. "I'm so tired..."

Robots get tired?

I lock the door, because everyone's inside. Hmm. This is one strange robot if it needs food and rest. Oh well. Time to go find a bed. Except there wasn't any. Or was there? I was never good at finding things. AAAAAGH. SOMEONE HELP ME FIND A BED. BLARGHUR

Short story post. Don't mind me.

Gwen left all but one of the Chieftans behind with instructions to fortify the caverns when she set off to find the remaining Swarm clan. Many uneventful hours passed before she reached the snowy white mountain. The afternoon sun seemed blissfully contented after its frolick with the sky that morning, and clearly wasn't too keen on trying to melt the permanent ice plastered on the mountainside. Of greater concern to Gwen were the harsh, cold winds that rushed through the valley, shrieking and howling as they passed.

She shivered a little and started up the slope.

Searching avidly, yet wearily, through the relatively large ship, Sanaca stumbled upon the medical facilities, her face lighting up. She scoured the area, and deemed it quite adequate for any and most medical procedures. Resting on a bed, she continued to inspect the area, exhaustion soon claimed her however, as her eyes drooped and she flopped down, falling into a much relieved and happy sleep.

Ugh

I finally manage to find a bed. I eagerly jump onto it. However, I can't sleep, comfy as the bed is. Exhaustion slowly takes me over. My senses dull, and my brain is claimed by the Void. I jolt up instantly. The Void doesn't sleep. It only conquers, and will kill to do so. Walking around the shuttle, I walk into the medical facilities with an extremely audible clank. Spotting Sanaca on a bed, I promptly follow my Void instincts, unsheathe my Void Nightblade (AH, THE INSANITY!!!!!!!! IT FEELS SO GOOD...) and walk up to the sleeping Sanaca...

(OOC: Please wake up. Yes you heard that clank. I repeat, YeS You HeArD ThaT ClaNk.

In the haziness of sleep, Sanaca heard a nice metallic ring. It seemed to echo and consume her, filling every corner of her unconsciousness. In a jolt, she shot up, realizing that she had fallen asleep on the hospital bed, turning her head to find the source of the sound, she saw Albert, relaxing, she said,

"Oh thank goodness Albert, you scared me!" Her eyes drifted to the unholy blade grasped in his hands, emitting a cloud of darkness. Screaming, she backed up, taking in the situation.

"Al-Albert? Why are you looking at me like that?" she nearly whispered, terrified. She could see that Albert was not there, his eyes were distinctly distant and dark, something no medical condition could coherently explain. If she tried to run, that might make him ensue a chase, which she knew she would surely lose. Nervously, she looked around for something that she could use to defend herself. The medical facilities were meant for healing, not combat. Taking another glance at his imposing weapon, Sanaca knew that her weaponry and armour would not suffice to defend her.Pleading in her mind that Archemiday had her her scream, she dared not utter another sound.

Carefully backing up, she would not let her eyes leave that of Albert's, her head racing to find a reason as to why he was - Oh, Gwen. Sanaca knew she could not hurt him, but... As she moved back, she innocently ran her hands through the medical supplies drawers, hoping against odds that the shuttle had one, and that it would be placed according to procedure. Her hands closed around a smooth round surface, which fit into her hand as she relentlessly kept her eyes locked on Albert, watching for his next move. Tracing her fingers along the object, she found the end, and precariously tapped its tip, her breath slipping out of her mouth as she felt a flat surface. Biting her lip, she averted her gaze to just behind Albert, and yelled out brusquely,

"Arche! I'm so glad you're here!" She didn't know the extent of the Swarm infected brain, but from what she had seen when she first saw Gwen, she hoped it was enough. Her breath seemed to stop and everything appeared to slow down, as she stared at the empty wall behind Albert.

Void knows no mercy

I look behind me. Nope, nothing I can see. Wait, no I see him now, actually, no I don't, BRAIN MAKE UP YOUR MIND!! Is he or is he not there? I can't tell! Oh well, not that it matters. I slice at Sanaca relentlessly, and uncontrollably with my Nightblade. I start to twitch. It's not ME that's controlling me, but rather it's something else. And the Void tends to not talk, unless they must. This wasn't a time when I had to talk. I twitched painfully. Agh, I have to regain control of my brain! I wish Arch was actually here.

It kinda worked!

Sanaca let her breath rush out in relief as she saw Albert fall for the trick, but with unexpected speed, he recovered his stupor, abruptly charging at her with his weapon. He overcame the confusion much faster than Sanaca had predicted, barely being able to dodge in time. With tremendous effort, she managed to evade every swing of Albert's sword. In her mind, Sanaca quickly assessed his attack pattern, deeming it erotic and somewhat compulsive; he seemed to attack with reckless abandon, and sometimes appearing to hesitate as well.

"Well, there's no time like the present..." She muttered to herself, fatigued. As she flipped off the cap, she ducked underneath a rightward swing, lunging in to take her opportunity, she dug the anesthetic deep into his neck, right into his jugular vein, miraculously not drawing blood. Leaping back exhausted, she nearly collapsed from exhaustion, knowing that the drug should take effect immediately. It was a bit unorthodox, but, smiling to herself, Sanaca thought she did quite the job.

Now it was completely up to whether or not the drug worked.

(OOC:EDIT: Oh Thin, you got it, so pronouncing that incorrectly... Butanol... Not implying anything here at all (darn science teachers)! Move along. How old are you anyways Thin? You seem to be in university, because you're so smurt! I've always admired your intelligence, I've learned much from you, just so you know!)
