Eruda

Eruda gets out of bed with a yawn. She was starting to get use to this new house thing. She just wished that it didn't feel so empty at times. As far as she was concerned, Raidou still slept in the guild hall area, which meant that even at 3 in the morning, Eruda had the entire house to herself... Picking out of her bag, a few messed up music crystals that were meant to be salvaged my the Firm Anima Merchants. Eruda had swiped a few before they could be. Walking into the kitchen, she sets one of the crystals on the counter tops with a smile. She missed just dancing around the house while every

It was clear that Setsuna did everything without a thought in question when an order was given. Something like that didn't sit right with Eruda, but she understood why. The girl left that sort of thinking to the other that gave the commands. What Setsuna did was courageous in many ways, she could see that now. "The next order you get, I want to come. I will act as a distraction if need be because I know that I can't hide like you do. I want to understand better about what goes on in the reality that everyone is so fond of." Eruda knew it would be dangerous in every corner, so she would come pr

Without looking at the girl, but feeling that cold against her heated body. "I have accepted my own death long ago, it is what I do before then that matters most to me." Eruda pauses for a moment to look down at the girl that was now visible. "I took this tank position so that anything that our team faced and anyone willing to take my protection would not falter in what needed to be done." It was a hard reality to bring to terms but Eruda had made that decision a long time ago. "I have learned that sometimes things need to be done a certain way and as mine may not always be the right way, it s

(Setsuna wins the duel) Getting to a knee as she holds the wound that was sizzling beneath her fingers. Eruda forces a small amount of blue flames within that palm as the ice begins to melt into water. Without looking at back at Setsuna, "You are right. I am a flower just waiting to be crumbled into ash." Standing now as she takes a deep breath and turns toward the girl. "Raidou has prepared the guild, me for the simpleton of mobs around Ancrad, nothing more. I appreciate that he wants to keep us, me safe and in the dark about everything in the Shadows." Eruda's flames began to ignite in

ID:202990 | Battle:8, Craft:12, Loot:12 [Initiative/First Strike] Eruda quickly looks down to except the duel request, glancing back up to see Setsuna not there... She takes out her sword and shield at the very least. Somewhere in the back of her head, she knew that the girl was right. She would like to think that she was always going to be ready for anything that came her way, but the real reality was she was not even close. Raidou showed her nothing but a fragment of something that she had already come to terms with. Nothing more, but a very small piece of a huge demented world. Even wi

Right then she shifts her feet toward the scather, blue flames burn beneath her frame. With the intent to disarm this thing so that now harm would come to the team from this mechanism alone. With an upward spiral her sword makes contact and so does that fire, as the wood lights up like a Christmas tree. With the electricity and burs of heat released into the thing it glows bright with sparks and sizzles alike. It was almost there but not quite. " @Shiina finish it," looking in her direction. Raidou said to burn it down, funny that is was exactly what had just transpired. She couldn't disarm it

"That is where you are wrong," Eruda stands now. "I have spent every waking moment training to be the best person I can be." Looking out to the falls, Eruda now knew why Setsuna was the way she was, but not entirely the reason why those friends of hers were stricken down. If it had anything to do with orange players that would explain why she was so blood thirsty. It was something that she had seen in her own sister, even more so when Eruda found out about what had happened to Freya while in that cove. "I chose to be a tank because I was tired of seeing people die around me, feeling helpless a

A soft smile, this girl could pick up things that she couldn't see. Squinting a bit, she sees some other people and some creatures that didn't look very threatening. "You have nothing to prove because you have already done it. Anyone that knows you truly would say the same thing. Everyone else would be stupid to underestimate you and Firm Anima as a whole." Kneeling next to the girl now, "This is our life right now, if we focus on just the crappy parts, we will come out of this game without a soul." Haine has told her multiple times that you should learn to enjoy and relax. Everything in this

Eruda gives a soft chuckle, "I guess in a way it is, but don't think of it like that." Is that what she thought of everything these days. A test, something to prove to another. Was she that far gone from those days... What happened to make this cold soul of hers?? "Think of it as a friend showing another friend a good time. Truth is you do not have to prove anything to me." Eruda knew that Setsuna could take care of herself, but sometimes it was just nice to have a friend. The question was, would this girl allow one. Setsuna was sticking with her closely, "Honestly, I have a theory... For a wh

A smile as she watches this girl blindly sharpens her weapon. "I would like to think I have but only the decider can know that for sure." There was multiple times that she has shown that she could hold her own and protect her loved one. The guild was a big part of that. The others were not her blood, or her distant relatives or anything like that, but she would treat them all the same. Firm Anima was her family, one that put her back together when she thought all was lost. "Take my arm if you need it, it is time that you see this world in the light." There were places in this game that could n

Taking a scarf from her inventory, stepping onto the warp gate. Appearing in Tomoika, it wasn't hard to spot Setsuna. She could feel that cold essence, that the girl was letting off. "I saw you at that Halloween event, it made me want to bring you here. To show you something, but first," Eruda hands out the scarf to Setsuna. "I want you to cover your eyes with this and tell me what you hear. The question is, do you trust me Setsuna?" Eruda knew that it was a long shot, she would like to feel like she knew Setsuna just a little bit. If not, then she wanted to. Everyone in the guild had their ow

Battle Healing Activated: +53 Health A smile given back to Raidou, one that said -I believe in you-. There was nothing that they couldn't do as long as everyone was on the same page. It was a bit painful that she couldn't be there for Simmonè or Sam. Eruda would just have to trust that they take what they have learned and use it. Eruda gives a small sigh before her eyes turn to the Scather, it had to go down. Hearing Raidou shift in tones, he makes her feel good that Raidou put his faith in her. Enough to open up like he did. A grin before running and sliding to the mechanism to try worki

Picking up some clothing from the floor in her room, "I know that I have seen her before." Tossing them in the air as they vanish into her inventory. "I keep seeing tiny pictures in my head," Grabbing a view things off her floor and setting them on her window seal. Plopping backwards on her bed with a grunt. Raserei jumps on her bed and starts licking her face. "Oh, come on stop that..." saying as she scratches behind both of her ears. "Okay, wolf, focus. I have to figure this out or it's going to bug me." Eruda hops further on her bed and crisscrossed her legs. Closing her eyes with a deep br

Watching Shiina run forward screaming in excitement, Freya was linked to Gaius walking mere feet from her and Griswold. Kasumi was on the other side Eruda as Simmone and Sam walked together behind her. Celeste and Lium even decided to come. "I have never been to something like this" saying to her father. "Mom never took us out to these things, and trick or treating was always a bust. I am glad that I am here with you and everyone else dad." Getting to where the quest items were supposed to be turned in, they were greeted by Oni. Just to the left, she saw Setsuna. Fiddling with a plastic skelet

Eruda was so fascinated by this story, but somehow it seemed weirdly what they were going through right now. Freya and Freyd not trusting in fate, but Shiina and herself we contracted. They chose to believe in Morrighan. You can't make people believe in something that they didn't want to. Taking a small breath with a frown. They have to take that leap of Faith for themselves and hope that is all worked out for the best. "How can I help them believe in something that they think is a total scam..." Saying this in almost a whisper. Right then she saw Freya and Gaius storm by to the watering

Seeing that woman appear from the water with Shiina, not even an inch of water on her skin. "Morrighan, always a pleasure." It was only a matter of time before that curtain thing happened. Shiina was under contract as well. Was she able to show her true self here because of her and Shiina. It was weird seeing her come out of the water like that, but she gave up on trying to figure out all the weirdness in this world. Looking to her father and that almost blank stare at this woman. She makes an unsure face, "I take it you saw her in a weird dream work too." This was not what was needed right no

Just walking into her house with a yawn. Closing the door behind her as Raserei comes to greet her. A pat on the head, her HUD chimes. A raise of her brow, swiping her menu open. It was Freya, "Gaius and daddy in the same place with no fighting. Oh, this should be interesting." Closing her HUD glancing down to Raserei. "Do you want to come, your friends will be there." Her head rises as she does that weird jump circle twist around thing. Pointing her nose toward the door, Eruda just giggles, "Okay, just let me grab a few things." Getting a pen and paper she writes to Raidou that she won't be h

"Oh, we know each other, he is the one who thought he could fight instead of watching Kasumi." A laughter from all of them. "If you are willing, you can train with me. I have been practicing in the early mornings on the ice. Floor 4 at 4 am if you want to." Lium simple nods with a smile. "Get your ass over here and swim with me." Eruda lunges of the edge and began to swim further out. Hearing a splash behind her, Freya catches up to her. Eruda felt so much relief from their conversation. It's something that she really wanted to put behind her and it had been a very long time coming. She would

"Freya you are my twin sister, the only change that I will ever see in you is that you have become strong and a better woman. Mom did not deserve us in the slightest. Our father is proud of who we have become and he actually wants us. We should treasure that thought. We are wanted and loved Freya." That brings a smile of both their faces. "Are you ready to teach me how to swim now. I would love it if it happened before it got dark." They both chuckle and lock arms. Getting closer to the watering hole, Eruda sees Sam already in there and Lium? Wonder what brings them here. Getting to the edge n

Seeing Freya freak out for nothing, "You didn't let me finish." Holding her sister tightly, "You mean the world to me Freya, I could never be mad at you for long. Also, I know what you did in high school for me." Freya pulls back right then with a puzzled look on her face. "Yeah, you thought that I never noticed, and at first I didn't. It was when I really sat down and started thinking about everything when that light bulb hit my brain.' It was painful to watch, but Eruda knew that is was for the best. "They were scared of going through you, the bullying stopped because of you." Eruda would be

'Oh no its fine, I have one already. I am a tailor remember, I make my own clothing." A smile given as they walk in silence for a little while. "So I wanted to apologize for pushing you the other day. I was going through some stuff and I really just needed to get out of there." Thinking about that conversation that Sam and Freya had. "I have been lying to myself. I kept telling myself that everything was fine between us because I really wanted it to be." Freya opens her mouth to say something, but Eruda raises a hand up, "Please just listen." A simple nod from her sister as she continues. "I h

Getting up from her chair with a smile. "That is not something I can discuss, I will not dishonor the trust that he has put in me. I do suggest though if you want to know, you talk to him as I have. He will need Allies," a voice that was yet to be heard from Eruda. A mix between understanding and wishful thinking that Freyd would at least consider this. Walking toward the door with her head hung a bit low, she starts thinking about that event that was mentioned. "I have one more thing to add. The reason why I started really believing it fate in general. Not the person, not Morrighan but e

"-Think of it naught of possession, but an extra set of hands to help you pick yourself up and carry on.- This is something that Morrighan said to me when I asked about the guild. We are still us, it just maxes out our power that is within us to its fullest capability. I cannot make you believe in fate Freyd, but I can tell you what I've been through since that day that I met her." Turning her eyes to her sister. "Why don't you go collect yourself. I do not want to overwhelm you with information. I know how you can get," Freya wipes her eyes, she was clearly emotional. Eruda knew how much she
