[F1-PP] Barn Brothers Inc. Slam Poetry Session! <<Earning a Living: Performer>> (Soren Rider and Theodore Bell)

[Soren Rider 0]

Soren held the chalk in his hand, quickly swiping to add it to his inventory of materials. Once he had done so, he was prepared to walk back to the tree. Before he could, he heard the sound of a run, Theodore charging toward the wolves before him. The pack surrounded him, biting at his armor. The Pheonix, the fire bird of legend, sprung from the shield and struck at several of the wolves that dared bite or claw at Teddy. Soren stood, a moment of fear passing before him. Although Teddy was struck several times by various bites and claws, Teddy stood firm, excitement appearing on his face. What a fuckin maniac... Good shit, now take them out! When Teddy mentioned Kyrial, the Catfolk, a vague memory of a poison rogue character, or something like that, came to his mind. Um, yeah, I remember that character in passing comments... you never spoke in detail about anything but her interest in poisons though. I can't say I remember any damning or interesting details about her adventures though... Did she solo adventures, buying equipment and the like and traveling by herself? I always thought of her as a loner, but maybe I was wrong. Soren thought for a second if he could remember anything else about Kyrial, but nothing came to mind.

Teddy smiled, the hammer still didnt find much purchase but he didnt mind it much as the fires roared to life once more. The feeling was intense, the heat threatening seemed as though it might threaten him as well, but like the fire of an alchemist, the fire avoided him as though by choice he did not burn. The same could not be said for the wolves though. They bounced back from the onslaught but not without dealing some damage. Teddy looked at his health bar when all was said and done and began to worry. I will have to do something to fix that, I think. I might have been a bit over ambitious with this. But that is part of the fun, perhaps in another life I realized I was an adrenaline junky earlier on. It is too bad I am only learning this now. This rush is addictive, and the feeling of the odds stacked against me is only causing me to want to win more.

He began to tell the tale, hoping his voice could be heard over the sound of the combat. “Whell Kyrial was born in a strange land, unlike that of which has been seen in Segria before. The land of the blahght, the land of the plague. Those things born here were of evil, bein’ infused with the blahght itself. The vile icor would get into the food, it would seep inta the water. And as one partook of things there, the blight would take purchase in one's very soul. As a kitten, Kyrial found that she was called to, her parents were well known for their abilities, her father worked as a member of the guard in their small town of Tern. While her mother worked as a healer. Or so she thought. That was the lahe that was told to her from birth. Perhaps she would have believed it if she wasn’t recruited. An entity, an organization, know as Ombra. Some may call them shaddy, or evil, or cruel. Perhaps those people would be rahght, though that was not for Kyrial to decahde. She had one job: Follow Orders. An’ she did her job *very* whell.”

Soren listened over the heat of combat, in this case literally. The Pheonix took shape once more and although there was much noise, the story told by Theodore came through to him. He could visualize the place, Segria, infused with an evil of the land, the conflict between the people and the blight, which plagued the land. He could understand being lied to by parents, it was all too familiar for Levi growing up. They would lie to him, telling him he was horrible at listening to directives, that he would lie to them and steal. Following orders was something he could also relate to, though it likely wasn't the same. He was never told to physically harm or kill, all of which would be prevalent for a shady person in Dungeons and Dragons. Kyrial must have honed her already good talent with poisons to an exceedingly excellent standard. Fuck, thats pretty sad actually. She was infused with evil from her homeland, in the village of Tern... How does she break free from the blight which, like hell on earth, infused with her very being? Or does she even manage to break free during her adventures...

Damn, so she was infused with the evil blight of the land... Thats kinda fucked, but cool! How did that change her behavior? 

Soren had been thinking about Kyrial and wasn't paying any mind to a shimmer in his peripheral vision. After a second, he turned his head slightly and took notice. About five paces from where he currently stood at about a forty-five-degree angle, was another larger piece of chalk. Well shit, there is another piece of chalk. This is going so much faster than I thought it would.... Soren walked over to the piece of chalk, knelt down and picked it up, swiping like all the other times to add it to his inventory.

Teddy stood still for a moment as he attempted to open his menu. Still enough that things would have an easier time hitting him. Before he knew it he was being bombarded once more. The flames flew as the hp of the wolves fell substantially. The flames licked their way to each one by one. Teddy felt the impacts but didn't let that stop him. He was on a quest to find the right item. After a moment, which felt like ages, he opened his Battle Ready Inventory. He had attempted to click on the song crystal, to do some lesser healing. Unfortunately the ol’ man's fingers found a different purchase, they found one of his starter potions. Once it was in his hand, he figured it was just too late so he shrugged and just used it instead. He feel rejuvenated, like he had just had the first cup of coffee on a long shift, as his health bar replenished to full. He smiled and shook his shoulders loose as he prepared for the next round.

 

Whell, the blahght didnt do much. At least not on the surface, though the slow corruption, if left unchecked and unregulated, could cause one to lose their mind. Or at least that is what the village was always told. Because of this, once you became a certain age, or had enough blahght in ya’ the government would come to take you away. That is what they did to Jost, another beastfolk that got too infected, he was whisked away bah the government. 

 

The thing that matters is that she was a prodigy, Ombra wanted her to do hanus things, murder? Espionage? Coersion? Nothing was off the table. So long as she did as she was told and left no trace that they existed. Maybe it was the blahght, maybe it was just who she was but she did everything rahght, no remorse, just ruthless killing. She worked like that for some tahme, helped empires rise, watched empires fall. Captured polititians and bent them to the will of Ombra. She quickly grew to the top of the leaderboard, watching as others tried and failed. But then she was removed. Her existence became secret even within the company, she was a rumor. But it was not without reason. There were some happenings in the east that caught the attention of Rumo Benford, the leader of the project she was a part of. And he decided that she was just the gal to take care of them before they got out of hand.

Soren went back to searching for the last material as his father took out a battle-ready potion from his inventory. The tall grass wasn't moving much as the breeze that was normally present in this place was weirdly absent. Thus, without the motion the tall grass would normally have, Soren did not find another piece of chalk. During his silent search, he listened to the story of Kyrial from his ol' man and pictured it in his mind. Kyrial was sent by the leader of the project in the organization of Ombra named Rumo Benford to deal with some group in the east. The idea was most certainly to silence whomever Kyrial was sent to deal with by whatever means necessary. Sheesh, I could never imagine doing something like that... killing needlessly other humanoids, in the case of Kyrial, would be too much. Fuck, I get she probably had to deal with all sorts of messed up people, sure, but that alone doesn't mean SHE had to be the one to end them... I guess she really didn't get much of a choice though, this would be the best fucking way to preserve her own fur.

What in the east could have caught the attention of Rumo Benford of all people, must have been quite the group to get his attention...

Teddy smiled as he saddled up for the next round of strikes. Three hits and once again the flames that surrounded the old man burst once more into golden fire. The particles raising from them painted the picture of his stories on the wind generated by the constant movement of himself and his adversaries. Though he could not see the tales leave his tongue and becoming a visage in the roaring fire as though the game was reacting to his speech. No instead he thought back to the trials of Kyrial and brought down with force the hammer on one of the savage beasts. He watched as four of the beasts erupted into shards, mixing with the fire. “Whell would you look at that beautiful scene.” He said more or less to himself as the golden phoenix fire melded with the red and blue shards of the enemies that he slayed. For a moment, but no more than a moment he was in awe of the beauty of the spectacle, no thoughts to the fighting, no thoughts to the story. 

 

“Oh rahght, where was Ah?” He said, shaking his head slightly. “Rahght. So Kyrial began her trip eastward. She found her way to a large sailing ship. She would have commissioned the captain for fare if she was anyone else. But she needed to keep, her leaving, a secret. Not even her family could know. So she slipped on the boat in the wee hours of the mornin’ before the ship left the docks. No one saw her, and for some time she hid in one of the barrels of wine that she had emptied out. But that didn’t last forever. No. And no good story of adventure is complete without the full ensemble. 

 

Delilian was not like his others. He was the shortest of his village, which to be fair for an elf didnt mean much. Delilian was a quiet kid, young and foolhardy. But when he was with his friends a different side of him came out. Rambunctious and ready to cause trouble, the young boy was ready to capture the world!”

Soren's ol' man continued his story about Kyrial amidst the combat with several wolves. He stopped talking for a second while Soren spoke up, clearly concentrating on the combat with the wolves before him. His story revolved around Kyrial, the shady poison user, heading to the east assigned on a mission. Due to the secrecy of the mission which she was assigned, Kyrial was stowing away on a ship heading to the east, which would make sense for someone who needed to travel over open water unnoticed. Almost seamlessly, his ol' man transitioned to another person named Delilian, which Soren immediately guessed would become another main character in the party. "Shit, wait a sec, were elves in this adventure normally short pale people? I thought they were relatively tall in the ol' rulebooks..." Soren spoke over the sound of wolves growling and charging. The boy Delilian didn't remind Soren much of himself, he never thought of himself as "Rambunctious" or "ready to cause trouble" though his various foster parents made sure to tell him regularly.
