It had most certainly been worth the money for boat fare. As soon as Elise and Hiro had started toward the water, she caught a glimpse of all of the people of varying ages, putting finishing touches on their lanterns. Elise had made her own, but she didn’t feel like it was quite as good as a lot of the others. She had never participated before, so she was just sort of winging things.

Once they had found a good spot, Elise gave Hiro’s hand a squeeze before releasing it and fishing in her purse until she pulled out two ribbons - one pink and one blue. She held the blue one out to Hiro and then produced two Sharpies, which she wiggled back and forth in her fingers before handing one to Hiro.

“Forgive me, I thought we could add our wishes to the lanterns before setting them adrift. It seems everyone is still getting ready to set the lanterns free anyway, so...” That meant they had a few minutes at least. 

She lowered herself to the ground, setting her lantern in front of her before she stared intently at the ribbon. What did she really have to wish for? Truthfully, she was pretty happy these days. She had the job she wanted, great friends, and a boyfriend that she loved.

A small flush crossed her pale cheeks as she thought it over, but she eventually sighed and scrawled something on the ribbon. Before tying it off, she looked up at Hiro, looking embarrassed as she mumbled:

Kana did not anticipate being a burnt badly when he decided to try his luck with some field work-- monster taming a dragon. He was always fascinated by the scaled beasts of the sky, but he never really saw one. It was always just in books. He had it all planned out, even buying some carrots to give the green dragon he had his eyes on-- but everything didn’t go as planned, and there he was, in a ship from Forest Haven, with burns and bruises he didn’t tend to just yet.

He needed a doctor, stat. 

“Can you take me back to Leuda instead?” Came his request during his trip back from Forest Haven. He’d have to pay again for a trip to Arcadia, but fuck that. He needed medical attention and the one person that comes to mind is his doc-to-be pal, Hiro. He was still a nurse, but Kana trusted him more. As soon as the ship landed in Leuda, he made haste to go to Alpha Medical Center. He wanted to visited his buddy for some time now, he just wished it wasn’t like this, not because of an emergency.

[ ⚔ ] — As much as Jake loved mining, he had just as much hate for the particular risks that were associated with it... namely, those weird ass gases that would seep out from some of the rocks whenever they got hit. Whatever he had been hit with this time around ended up giving him a headache so bad he felt like he had been knocked upside the head with a truck, and a constant cough, each one sending waves of unbearable, stinging pain throughout his throat and chest.

Not only that, but his body ached like hell and had grown uncomfortably hot, his limbs so weak that he could barely walk. After inhaling the gas, the effects had been minimal and not so bothersome, but the more time passed the more shitty he began to feel, and by the time he was out of the mines he was so weak that he could barely walk. That, coupled with the cold and snow, made his trek to the hospital a complete struggle.

But eventually, he makes it, and when Jake stumbles into the Alpha Medical Center, he’s so weak that he can barely stand any more. But never one to give in so easily, he manages to push through his pain long enough to reach the reception desk, slumping over it in clear exhaustion and pain as he lets out another cough, gripping at his chest as he hangs his head, speaking to whoever was sitting there through ragged, labored breaths.

I’m guessing you’re speaking for your Hiro muse, which would make you a healer, yes?

Well… prepare for a rather long (and hopefully not confusing) post.

While there are magical spells that can be purchased (from the magic shop) or learned (from the Arcadian college), you honestly have the freedom to decide your character’s own abilities for the class you choose for them. What sorts of things they can do, what their limitations are… there’s no set system for this, as we want to give muns a certain amount of freedom and creative license in that regard.

You as a mun could choose to either be greatly detailed in the abilities and limitations you give a character…

Example: If you decide to set up stats for your character, and they have say, 30 MP at their current level, then you can create spells/abilities for them that take up certain amounts of MP (like 5) and use them in a thread/roleplay up until your character runs out of MP, which would then exhaust them mentally.

…or not at all, and just do things in a general sense.

Example: So let’s say you have your decided class (Healer) and level (2, which is fairly weak), but no stats for that character. You can literally do whatever you want here, but you still have to do so in a capacity that’s reasonable. Like, you can have Hiro heal people all throughout the roleplay, but if it gets to a point where you think it might be getting to be too much for him, then you can simply state that he’s getting tired.

When it comes to battling in roleplays, fights can either be entirely written out (see the Evelyn/Russell voyage chat we recently reblogged as a reference for that), or done via chatzy choose lines such as these:

LEVELS 1 AND 2: /choose HIT, MISS, HIT, MISS, HIT, MISS, MISS, HIT, MISS

LEVELS 3 AND 4: /choose HIT, MISS, HIT, HIT, MISS, MISS, HIT, MISS

LEVELS 5 AND 6: /choose HIT, MISS, HIT, HIT, HIT, MISS, HIT, MISS

LEVELS 7 AND ABOVE: /choose HIT, MISS, HIT, HIT, HIT, MISS, HIT, HIT

Each line corresponds to your character’s level, so if you encounter a situation in which you have to fight, then you can enter these lines into the chatzy, get your result, and roleplay based off of that. Of course, this wouldn’t have to apply to a Healer (how could they miss their targets/patients, after all? xD)

But here’s an example, anyway, for a Fire Mage character:

“The monster lunged at her, and she sidestepped to the side, barely managing to dodge the swipe of its paw. With gritted teeth, she shoots her hand out and blasts some fire in its direction…”

[ Enter one of the lines, gets MISS as a result. ]

“…but the monster ducks and evades the flames.”

And the same would apply to more physically oriented classes as well (replace “fire blast” with “sword swing” for example)!

Ever since going to the open mic night a few weeks ago, Elise had found herself wanting to practice her violin more and more. Despite the strange darkness that seemed to be over taking Leuda, her yearnings persisted, and she found herself venturing out to the park time and time again. She knew most people wouldn’t complain if she played in her room, but she still didn’t feel right about subjecting them to her music every day. 

Once again, she found some precious spare time after a shift at the hotel and took a stroll to one of the parks nearby. Finding an area that seemed mostly deserted, she set herself up under a tree and placed the instrument against her shoulder.

After taking in a breath of fresh air, the blonde closed her eyes and began to play, letting the music drown out the rest of the world for a little while. There was something that always relaxed her about playing music, and a gentle smile slowly crossed her face as she worked her magic.

She played for several minutes before she finally opened her eyes, and to her surprise, she found her emerald eyes falling on the face of a stranger. Her heart leaped into her throat and she almost gasped out loud, her pale cheeks growing warm in embarrassment. 

“Y-You startled me!” she stammered out, clearing her throat as she tried to regain her composure. She pursed her lips in a bit of a pout as she mumbled. “I apologize if I was disturbing your walk. I can play somewhere else, if I am being a bother.”
