She was tired, cold, and suddenly angry. She stepped into view when her name was called, and at the audience's scattered cheers, she [remembered again] and looked up, glaring, as she tried to search for the culprit of half her current emotional state. It wasn't even a person, was the salt to the wound. Yue Hua spotted Wulfrin instead and the bitterness in her expression evaporated. She thought of waving around her reforged silver sword, but soon found that the most she could manage in the moment was draw it out of its sheath. She settled for a small, put-upon smile. "And--"

[post02.] Vanished, however. Spates of idleness were an extreme abnormality in her designation. She looked for her wherever she could. In the archives, in the information shelled out to her when she became her pair, in the eyes of everyone who had so much as breathed in her proximity. She asked, and was asked in return: [Continue to operate as instructed.] Left with nothing else to do, she lowered her hand to the water's surface. The tips of her fingers brushed with her reflection's and ripples spread outward in a loosely defined circle, distorting the image, rebounding off the

Sent through courier. Message attached. "Senior...! I wish to turn around my losing streak with a sword enhanced by your own hand. I will fight you with it, too, I suppose. I hope that my performance will be enough to justify ceding this small advantage to your soon-to-be opponent."

Kissing you (platonic). (Received.)

The text blurred and shifted into Chinese characters. Yue Hua silently read the passage in its entirety first, taking in the full context. She was also tuned into Morningstar's continued attempts with Spanish. "I think 'salvaguarda' has something to do with guarding," she said helpfully. Then her eyes wandered to him and a soft chuckle escaped her at her leader's befuddled expression. Though she understood that they were all fundamentally human just as she, Yue Hua naturally admired her superiors in her guild. Morningstar's sparkling achievements within and without the game lent even more

Kiru moved so fast that she felt vaguely lightheaded trying to trace her. One moment, she was smiling softly from a meters-long distance. The next, she was right in front of her, smirking, her dagger flashing a bright, intense color. Yue Hua's sword arced upwards, attempting to parry the woman's strike, but she moved a second too late. The short blade sank into her ribs, and though Yue Hua felt no pain, the part of her head that had gone twisted from the last fight fired panic and flight instincts through her veins. She wasn't succumbing to it. She just forgot there was a small window of

[What was she looking at?] [Horror was a human body.] Not even a week of sulking in a rented room far from the Trackers Alliance's headquarters had dug her out of the mire of her thoughts. It was Sunday before she knew it and she was laying in bed, staring blankly up at the ceiling, counting down the minutes to her match. Forfeit. Forfeit. Just one duel. You're tired; you're sick all over again; you tried to vomit it out of your system and all it did was knock that old habit back into your head; don't we feel less when we're asleep? She had the message pre-written and ready to s

Yue Hua was sprawled out on her lounge, her feet hanging off the seat's arm and the full length of her feathered tail draped over the backrest. Gentle sunlight shone through the glass front of her brewery. This late into the morning hours, the sun had grown just warm enough to chase away her drowsiness, to turn idling into a near uncomfortable pursuit, but Yue Hua was more determined to not move at all than to search for a cooler spot to lay in. She distracted herself with the comforting rhythmic motions of endlessly running a brush through her hair, her eyes half-shut. On the coffee table bes

Oh, the woes of the materially rich. Yue Hua matched her opponent's stance and nodded. "Yes. Simple is good, too." She didn't speak again. After her first loss of the tournament, she needed back every ounce of her focus. The timer hit zero and Lessa claimed first move. She didn't attack; instead, she raised her sword and a soft blue light washed over her. A [Hyperactive] buff -- as a support build herself, Yue Hua had cast it on many a teammate. So -- she's gearing up for a long fight, after all? Or she was playing into her strengths. Lessa's build had been difficult to plot around.

"The Trackers have an outpost here," Yue Hua said to her opponent conversationally. She and Lessa took their positions on opposite sides of the ring, which would ordinarily set them a bit too far for either to talk without raising their voices, if it weren't for the dead silence of their surroundings. "Well. We are trying to," Yue Hua corrected herself. "'Tis difficult to build anything under all this rain. Much more if we are angling to hold up against 29's staggering risk assessment. Having spent some time here, though, I am inclined to believe that the events of the first day were the excep
