@ayakashi: needed to get this smile-like-a-buffon-while-reading-it rp started :3

She was three quarters of the way home when her cellphone rang. Aon took the small pink flip-phone with the gold four leaf clover pendant out of the hidden inside pocket of the gray, fluffy, insta-friendly as some humans called it, vest. It was her old and trusty sidekick Aska calling.

Aon listened as Aska frantically went on about her missing sword, thinking to herself that the whole thing meant two things. 1) The elven woman probably left it in a corpse somewhere while in a drunken stupor of which even Satan would have perished from alcohol poisoning and 2) they'd definitely have to go on another adventure to find it. At least, the demon certainly hoped so.

God, I hope she left it in someone off of this blasted rock Aon thought rather cheeringly. Although, she could have just forgot it at home, but even that possiblity would mean the demon got to leave the mountain. Her bounty was substantial, but with the two of them hanging out, no one stood a chance.

Suddenly it registered with her that Aska was at her cabin but before Aon had manged to say something to her oldest friend, Aska had finished the call and within seconds, her phone went 'bippitybippityboop', the small sound clip from Cinderella letting her know she'd received a message.

It was from Aska. It was a simple selfie, taken in front of what had once been Aons home for the past thirty years in whilst in Exile, but was now, if she knew her friend right and no one knew her as well as Aon, not much more than a smoldering piece of magical ash.

She laughed, shook her head and then proceeded to send a selfie back of herself giggling like a manic, with the text accompanying it reading
"If my giant pencil was in there, I will keep your sword once we find it, you panty grabbing elf-wrench"

The demon then remember she'd left it in the cave located not so far behind the cabin, right before she'd left to bury the elf. He'd weighed more than one might think, and Aon wasn't going to leave her most iconic and beloved possession just laying around when there was bounty hunters sneaking around with their grubby hands!

Maybe they'd taken the sword? If they had, Satan and all the various deities would pity them. She remembered what happened to the last person to touch that sword.

It had been 40 years and his family were still trying to find all the parts, last Aon had heard.

It took her another twenty minutes to reach her destination, due to the thick smoke that kept blowing down up the mountain.

She reminded herself, for the umpteenth time in the last decade, to ask her friend why smoke from the magical fire she produced tasted like salted licorice and smelled like frogs breath.

@totalanimefan: Aww! Likewise! :) Can relate, there are some food textures that are just... big No. Ofc, enjoy your delicious sandwich!

@totalanimefan: Me too! Ah yes, that's a hard question for sure. It's always good to have one or two extras, for future selling (or charity) but at the same time, new orb stuff! But the orbs last pretty long, if I understand it correctly, so you can always buy extra of the current and possibly for one new and then save up extra for more of the one that is coming on the 25th. :) That sounds like fun, do they have a link to their discord somewhere or do people usually post screenshots of them and discuss them here?

I can't wait for the new orb, crates or the next common update! :D

@totalanimefan: I can imagine, gosh. And it's not like he's proven to be a functional adult either. Twitter wars and stuff all the time. I hope so too, the world needs to heal.

Ooh that sounds super yummy!

@inatlaka: Yay! Added volts to trade and accepted on my end :)

@totalanimefan: That's good to hear :) So, are you looking forward to seeing what's new on the 25th?

@totalanimefan: That's just... Weird that they could disregard the feelings of the majority of the american people. Although, neither of the top two candidates were anything to cheer from. But a reality soap star, who's claimed bankruptcy how many times now? And who says to grab women by their.. to be elected president. I can't even imagine what that must have felt like to watch happen. The rest of the world was in shock. We still are, at how he can't have been impeached or removed from office.

Hope it starts going towards becoming better, rather than worse, despite the people with no regards for the rest of the populus.

To change the topic to something lighter: what are you up to today? :vanora_smile:

@totalanimefan: Will definitely do! :)

@ayakashi: Imma starting this ^^

Aon took a long, deep breath. Feeling her chest rise and fall easier as the minutes passed until her heavy and ragged breathing returned to it's usual ease. When she opened her eyes, the vivid and incandescent whites, for her kind did not possess irises, dulled until they settled on a light-ish grey, the not-so-young woman took in her surroundings. Rocks. God I am so sick of rocks. She cursed under her breath and turned her gaze on the elf that laid in front of her. He was tall and gracious just like all his kindred. More athletic, in comparison with her lithe build. His ears looked rather and stubby compared to hers. His eyes were full of... terror? Indigestion? Aon couldn't quite place the emotion he was displaying and she'd rather not remove the rag from his mouth to hear him display it. The mumbling that came from his pie-hole was more than enough sounds.

It had taken her ages to dig the hole. Would have been easier if he'd been a dwarf, she mused as she dug a meter or so deeper and struck the dirt with the shovel to pack it tighter. They don't take up as much room. If he'd been a dwarf instead, I'd be home already eating dinner and drinking my tea instead of standing around here and staring at dirt and rocks. There! Should be good enough. She struck the dirt again a few times just to be sure, as hard as she could, before throwing the shovel over the edge of the hole and climbing out. The elf got louder as he saw her climb out with a smile on her lips, unaware at that time that she was thinking about how lovely it would be to come home and have a sit in front of the telly with a cup of warm tea with honey. Although, he could have simply been intimidated by the sharp fangs and pitch black forked tongue. Humans usually were. Then again, they were scared of everything.

The elf started moving, rather worm-like, because how could he not? Being tied up by the hands, upper arms and feet with the thin, yet sturdy, nylon thread made any other movement entirely impossible. "Silly elf, do you really think you can slither away? I'm a demon, we both know I am faster than you. It's not your fault. Satan was just more thorough than your gods. Now, you're a blasted elf, not a snake, have some pride."
With that said she promptly hit him over the head with the shovel, checked for signs of life and being happy to find none, pushed him into the hole she'd dug all afternoon. As she started filling the hole back with the dirt, she muttered under her breath "also my dear, to be fair, you did this to yourself, you know. I don't know why you thought coming after me alone for the bounty was a good idea. The last guy had at least four or five dwarves with him. And bigger guns. I think one of them was even a mage?" Aon stopped to think back to that day "yes, they definitely had a mage with them. Although, that might have been the human in charge, rather than one of the dwarves, come to think of it. Either way, this was entirely your own fault."

Once she thought the hole was sufficiently covered and pack tightly enough, Aon took the shovel, threw it over her shoulder and started heading back home to her cottage in the forest a few miles away. The evening breeze made the demon's rose-gold colored hair tousle and get stuck to the double horns protruding from the sides of her forehead. Her skin, which were more white than gray, glistened due to the last rays of sunshine as the sky darkened, making all the demonic runes appear more prominent. She'd looked quite terrifying, she'd think, had it not been for the little green plant growing on top of her head. A... souvenir from the last time her beloved friend had dragged her on one of their adventures.
There were worse curses to live with.

There's this blasted rock. Filled with even more rocks. Rocks and snow and dirt. There'd used to be a great deal of trees on the side of the mountain she resided on, however given the cold climate, the demon had used most of them to fuel the ever-burning fire in the fireplace of her cottage.

Aon firmly hated mountains, but not as thoroughly or as utterly, as she hated the snow.

@totalanimefan: You must be pretty active! :) I'm trying to save up too. Want to get so many items from old crates/rigs etc and want to get the next stuff too so trying to be active, but having trouble figuring out where to just hang or what to do ^^ Rping is fun, but max reward is 50 per post and I only have one of those going on right now.

@totalanimefan: Ye, he's..... quite something that man, and that something isn't good. Like, how could people vote for him, much less honestly believe a word that comes out of his mouth? Yeah who cares about his imaginary rating when there's a global pandemic and thousands are dying?

Can't believe some states are lifting the quarantine/shelter in place. And also, some people. Is going to the mall worth dying over? Or being responsible for killing someone else, because he/she might be a symptomfree carrier of the virus???

Sorry you guys have to go through this :(

@totalanimefan: Aww, you're being so nice!

Jade followed Emily up the steps to the attic, noting the condition of the items stored up there. She'd been right, a lot of the things stored up there were in pretty good condition. Wonder why they decided to store it all up here rather than rent the place furnished, she mused as she let her fingers run along the edge of the bookcase. "I think you're on to something" Jade replied with a smile "most of it looks pretty good and we could save a chunk of change on using these rather than order new stuff"

The second the got to the mirror the Jade woman stopped in her tracks, Emily's voice drowned out by the thoughts racing through her mind. The surface of the mirror had moved, like ripples had been sent through a pond. Her fingers brushed against the carved wooden frame, static electricity shooting through the tips of her fingers and up her arm. "We shouldn't sell it, the family might want to keep it, if they stored it up here."

It was an excuse, a valid one, but an excuse nonetheless and she knew it. Just like she knew there was something about this house and this antique mirror, hidden away in the attic where the young woman had seen herself standing in front of the night before. What the hell is going on with this place? Jade wondered if Emily had sensed the strangeness here too, but past experiences made her afraid to ask.

Are you really giving stuff away? Either way, how much usually for Nifty Nurse (can't seem to find it in the price guide)?
