The First Deus Ex

[the_innocent_blade]

1: [It's the middle of the night. While the Chalice is usually somewhat quiet at this time loud thumps occasionally ring through the ship, breaking the silence. It continues to get worse as the night goes on. Anyone that decides to check it out will run across a strange white haired man fighting with a very large demonic shadow. From how beat up he looked, the man didn't seem to be winning.]

2: [From physical training to magical training, Kurou was definitely putting in a lot of work. Alone on the deck he seemed to be trying to cast some basic spells with...varying levels of success. Most of the time however he was sent flying after botching the spell.]

Goddammit, it shouldn't be this hard!



3: [Al Prompt]

[Al Azif seems to have found the memorial wall. For a brief moment the usually...bratty Grimoire actually looked sad as she placed her hand on one specific name.]

Azrad...

[It's been a while since anyone seen a certain little kid in a blue coat. Turns out that it's mostly because he's been keeping to himself, a little freaked out by everything that's happened. But he's seemingly a little more prepared now, and he emerges into the hangar to look at the mecha again.]

I still wonder why it's only our Ganmen that have giant faces... all the rest of these look almost normal. [He then pauses in front of a Desu unit.] Well, almost all of them. [Then he remembers some of the other things: the weird four-legged beasts, the human-sized pieces of armor that aren't actually here even though their pilots are...]

Or maybe all the units are different, and ours are just more different.

[The evening finds Simon on the deck, looking out at the stars. It's something he's never really gotten tired of.]

I wonder what it'd be like to be up there... to move among the lights in the sky.

[[Gainer hadn't even bothered to land King Gainer properely. Landing him on one knee, it was positioned for him to leave the cockpit, but... for the longest time, he didn't.

Some nut that considered himself Cynthia's "father" just made off with his best friend and only rival.

And what rubbed it in even MORE was that he'd gone up against an opponent he didn't even have the time to get a hit in on, or study. An Overskill Blizzard stronger than his own? WHAT MADNESS WAS THIS?

How long is Gainer going to mope in there? And who's going to drag him out?

[[However later... Gainer has been pulled free and is, thusly, enthralled in his game again. Because that's unusual, isn't it?]]

4th Vent: Same Old Shinji

[neverendingdebt]

1) (You'll find Shinji in his usual dwellings...the kitchen. He's decided to give his all at being a good server during breakfast, lunch and dinnertime. The penguin suit he's wearing? It has NOTHING to do with the fact that he lost about 2-3 sparring matches in a row for 2 weeks and has to do something to repay!

Anyway, he's gotten kinda used to balancing trays on his head - when they're properly strapped. Oh, here he comes now!)

Greetings...! Here's your order, one sidAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

(Yes he's crashed unceremoniously to the ground, spilled not only your meal but the other plates he had set up, probably gotten your clothes dirty with food stains...and splashed whatever drink you wanted all over your face.

But at least his penguin suit's clean!)


2) (After that debacle? He was given the rest of the night off, so he's doing some silent training on the deck. Assuming it's still here, that it.)
