(The Twin Blade frowned as Shadow was unable to sink his teeth into the crystal on the other side of the Willowman. The disappointment on their of their faces was highly-noticeable. It HAD been a good idea. It just didn't go anywhere. Very irritating... Well, Canti had only to wait a short while as ...

(Hah- hah! and yes-now! His actions had paid off, and now they had the power of Sheena on their side! Excellent! Unfortunately...Ap Do ran out. Uhhh...Doh. Willow-boy's healing-phase appeared to be out too, though, and the crystals disappeared. Canti waited as Maoh attacked and Talal...erm... Well, ...

(Hah-hah! Success! He was getting more hurt than usual. Excellent! And uhhh...wait, why was he grinning? Oh...it's his turn. He raised his hands and Canti looked up as the vines burst downward at him.) Canti: I'm suddenly reminded of Evil De- AAAAAAUUGGGHHH!!! (Torturous vines were focused on him an...

(So, some spells were cast, but Canti was a bit busy looking over his item list to notice them too much. One thing that DID catch his eye was that Talal hit something that had an effect on the Willowman of SOME sort, but frankly he didn't know what it was and she did not explain just yet. He and Sha...

(Aaand it was his turn again. Canti had scarcely enough time to think about these things in between the last time he was up and this time. One thing he DID know: The Willowman had had scarcely enough time to respond to any of this. He'd gotten a taste of some bitter medicine, retaliated at him and S...

(The spell, of course, worked like a charm. Wait, no. That would be perhaps if it was Ap Do, but it wasn't. This one went off like an Antidote, thus curing both Canti and Shadow of their lowered defense condition. However, they were still down the afore-mentioned health from before. That being the c...

(Actually, the true afficionado would not say Bad Breath, as that would entale multiple Deks like The Tower card can inflict on someone. This was more akin to the random bad status power of the Gaia Sword from Persona 4 , of even... Fist of the North Star! Canti had to stand there and take it like t...

(Hmm, this turn-based strategy thing was actually working out rather well, in fact. It allowed them to speed up and put the enemy's stats down a notch, and Canti noticed that one casting of Ap Do had caused both Takua and his pet to increase in speed. Canti nodded at this, then turned to Shadow.) Ca...

(How did it come to this? How did they ever get in a jam like this, when they were so brilliant and capable before? The Hydra had been such a complex monstrosity, and yet they had whittled down its heads, from so many to so few, and fought it six-to-three, essentially. Well...four if you include Sha...

OOC: And with the go from the man upstairs, I hereby get this party started! (With the situation in the room temporarily stalled, Canti was left sort of idly wandering about. He'd already had break time earlier, so now he was just sort of restless and bored. He ended up playing with his knives and ...

OOC: When Canti said he was taking a break, I didn't mean five months! Still, stuff happens , so yeah. Time to get back in the saddle. Nice smooth ride...along with saddle sores. Hey, nothing's too easy in Canti-land. So, without further ado... IC>>>>> (You'd probably question the sanity of any per...

Canti: ...and I really hate going around in circles, you know? So, you thought that I could help? Good luck. I've been able to 'ghost' into The World, but actively mapping out a dungeon isn't something I can do with my equipment. (Welcome back, everyone. We join our black-winged Twin Blade discussin...

(While waiting on people, Canti was sort of sitting in mid-air, the theme of Flash Gordon playing riiight up until Talal appeared, sooner than expected. The music stopped and Canti flinched when she mentioned his genie-like position. After a bit of joking around, the two of them got down to business...

*Is munching wood*

Huh?

“All right. The Tower of Nature it is. Alright. Because our home base is in the Gan sector, everyone meet up at the exit into the Wastes there. Now’s your chance to stock up on items from the Bazaar, take a minute to breathe, and prepare for this attack. Even if we don’t have to fight Xenobia at th...
