"Lemme get this straight... the damn fox managed to land himself in an illegal underground ring this time?"
A shadow of a frown fell onto Dez's lips when the girl asked about the situation. "Star does have an... unfortunate... habit of walking around on his own as if he were human. He forgets how vulnerable he appears," Dez huffed, "Strictly speaking, the sport of strain fighting isn't illegal. Nobles who own strains as property are allowed to do as they please with us, but this particular ring is known to attract individuals who are far too poor to own a strain by legal means. Kidnapping is a fairly regular event, so... well... I'm sure you can imagine the impossibility of getting anyone important to care about a few vanished strains." His tone was very matter-of-fact, remaining decidedly neutral in his opinions. Despite his words, the way he said them implied that he did not expect, nor desire for, things to change. To him, this was just the way of the world, and he had accepted it.
After the priest arrived, Dez could see the uncomfortable tension between him and the girl who had earlier asked that question. The tall strain wasn't going to get in the middle of that, but he'd need to make sure it didn't get in the way of this mission. "Unfortunately, there is risk in any course of action we take," he replied to the girl's statement. Inaction and forgetting Starling's existence was really the only way to stay completely safe.
Putting down what remained of the loaf of bread which he had been methodically eating since the beginning of this gathering, he brought out a second collar from the folds of his cloak. Although he begin to hand it over to the make with fiery hair, he paused when the other male spoke. Dez looked at him, thoughtful. He knew who the man was; what sort of informant didn't even know the appearance of the five known clans' kings? Truthfully he hadn't expected the Red King to come in person, but there was no question that his power would be immensely useful if their plans went sour. After a moment, he handed the collar to the leader of the Red Clan; his requests were superior to anyone else's here. "Your words ring true, Father, though I would humbly request that such a surprise is not sprung immediately. There are many who fear your blade," he spoke while maintaining eye contact with the king, referring to his Sword of Damocles, "And fear may quickly lead to chaos. Still, I will have faith in your abilities, regardless of how you choose to use them." He ended this with a small bow of his head.
"M'lady," he spoke, taking the chain of his leash and placing in in the girl's hand, "I believe it's about time we retrieve our luckless fox." Hopefully by pairing himself with the girl and, by default, the priest with the sellsword, the tension he observed between the girl and the priest would not be as much of an issue as it would have been if they were paired together.
ooc: onwards, comrades /o/
Also it can be assumed that Dez follows or goes along with whatever the "masters" here want, ya 8')

| AN ODD ROMANCE
SO. JUST SO YOU'RE WARNED. ICE IS PRETTY AWFUL AT TYPICAL ROMANCE PLOTS. She's much better at sinking ships than sailing them, so I can't promise you finals. Dez is also pretty inexperienced with genuine, nonsexual romance, so there's that, too. BUT ANYWAY:
GENDER - either, though some feminineness is preferred
AGE - w/e floats your boat; if it matters to you, Dez is 22
POSITION - prooobably a strain, but humans are ok
QUIRKS - blind, potentially with death- or ESP-related abilities
PERSONALITY - more kind than unkind. not a sadist. lives life in a relatively mellow fashion. able to, at the very least, eventually accept Dez's bizarre obsession with dead things and overall weirdness.
FC SUGGESTIONS - Aradia Megido from Homestuck or Maiden in Black from Demon's Souls
Just imagine the plot potential of Dez being able to give them sight in their dreams and not showing them what he actually looks like since he thinks he'll scare them away. Imagine ittttttt. |
More ads coming laterrrrrr /o/

This mission, like many storybook quests for adventure, would begin in a boisterous tavern during the hours of a cool, late afternoon. However, this was hardly an event which was worthy to go down in songs and epic tales. They were simply rescuing a strain they knew... A strain with an awful habit of getting himself in trouble on a fairly regular basis.
Desmond, with his tall figure cloaked to avoid trouble, was sitting at a table with three individuals who appeared to be human: a sellsword, a young woman, and a king. Star certainly had a bizarre collection of friends. While Dez had waited for them all to arrive, he patiently entertained himself by picking apart a loaf of bread and popping the small pieces into his mouth.
"My lords and lady, as I understand it, everyone here has a basic understanding of the situation," the strain eventually spoke. He leaned in towards the table so that his voice could better reach the others over the commotion of the regular tavern patrons, not bothering to feign his regular pet-like ignorance, "I've learned that Starling was kidnapped by someone in a strain fighting ring. Tonight's tournament is in the hull of the Aeon, which is docked right across from this tavern." A tattooed finger pointed towards the direction of the vessel before picking off another bit of bread.
"Since I don't have any solid information about how many people will be there or where exactly Star is being held, I thought it might be best if we entered under the guise of participants. So..." he lightly pulled down the neck of his cloak for a moment to reveal a leather collar binding him to a chain link leash, "I'll be your ticket inside. Or... at least one of your tickets. I have my doubts that one strain will be enough for three people, so... I have a second collar if one of you is willing to play the part. Just know that neither of us will be able to accomplish nearly as much as the human masters." It wasn't as if he'd have much, if any freedom of movement while in there. After all, he was a strain walking into one of the most unfriendly possible environments towards strains. Most of his efforts would have to go towards saving his own skin.
"If that plan is acceptable to you all, I suggest we go sooner rather than later, since there's no saying when Star will be forced to fight."
ooc: Posting order listed above /o/ In a perfect world, I'd like to get everyone in the ship during the second posting round so Star has something to do |D

missing: pet Fox QUEST OVERVIEW ongoing It would seem that everyone's favorite fox-type strain hasn't learned his lesson about the dangers of rivers. The one and only Starling Sathe has recently been captured near the thriving docks of Lilla. After a bit of preliminary information sleuthing, it has been determined that he has been kidnapped by a local underground strain fighting ring. A small group of both humans and strains have been asked to infiltrate their operations with the primary goal of bringing Star home in one piece by whatever means necessary.
It is requested, but not required, that the individuals who join this mission are acquaintances of Starling, since it will be more likely that he will go along with their plans. Hopefully...
QUEST CLASS DETAILS QUEST DIFFICULTY: ♔♔ 1. DESMOND GREY
2. YUUKI VALE
3. ANISE AGNELIUS
4. LUCIFER STELLAM
5. STARLING SATHE MISSION THREAD CAN BE FOUND HERE: Lilla, the docks

The fiery cascade of hair, soft features, and petite stature almost led Dez to believe that the individual who still stood before him may have been a woman. Almost. As it turns out, working for so many years at a brothel had attuned Dez to the many subtle differences between the sexes, making it rather difficult to deceive him without extensive illusionary abilities.
It probably hadn't been the wisest decision to announce his presence to a murderer with his knife still drawn. Dez probably should have been immensely thankful that he hadn't just gotten a new hole sliced through his skin. But, truthfully, all he could think about right now was how there was a dead body that hadn't even lost its heat yet lying just a few steps in front of him. He wanted to walk over and reshape it into something beautiful, but he also didn't want to get stabbed. An impossible decision, which left him standing frozen in place.
"Ah, you're too humble, sir," he replied, crouching down and resting his arms atop his knees, wide eyes still practically glued to the bleeding drunkard's remains, "The lack of difficulty in a task does not always retract from the enthralling complexity of the result."
His gaze slid to the living male for a moment as he retrieved a valuable-looking jewel. Was that the reason behind this death? It was an appealing reason, albeit cold. For the first time since Dez's appearance here, their eyes met.
"You may, and you would be correct in that assumption," Dez replied to the artist's first question, "Though I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, as I'm no one of any remote importance," he then replied to the second. "I'm just a strain named Desmond. That's all."
It was clear that there was something else that Dez wanted to say, his eyes briefly flicking back to the body with indecision, but he held back. At least, for a few moments. "Sir... what are..." Dez paused again, brows furrowed and fingers clenching the inside of his cloak with irritation. He hated asking humans questions; some of them considered it a punishable offense. "If... I may be so bold to ask... Now that you have your prize, what do you intend to do with his body?"
ooc: behold /o/ a new hoverpic has appeared

"Mm, I see..." Dez replied, seemingly unconvinced by the little fox's assertion that he was no one's gift. But Star did seem overwhelmingly uncomfortable, clearly not desiring to wear a dress in front of all to see. He really was quite a pitiable creature at the moment. If he had a mind to, Dez could have named a handful of patrons who would pay quite a bit to personally remove that dress for him.
"Ears," he stated simply, poking each of them gently with a finger tipped by a bruised-looking nail, "They betray you. And your face is not changed." The Purple Clan was famous for spinning illusionary deceptions, so it was not unusual for Dez's coworkers to favor an appearance which changed on a daily basis. By comparison, a change in outfit was rather easy to see through.
Dez's inky gaze briefly drifted over to Star's partner, then to their interlocked arms before returning to the crossdresser himself. "So... for the lady's pleasure? She is... special to you?" Star must have been quite frustrated with him by now. The blacksmith knew that Dez was capable of speaking with perfect, unaccented fluency without all of these odd pauses followed by out-of-place or suggestive terms.
He'd give the poor fox some tea and a nice dream later to apologize.
ooc: MY APOLOGIES FOR THE AWFULY LONG WAIT. No apologies for Dez's suggestiveness, though, nope.
