A New Beginning

[Anastasia]

The valkyrie answers by vomiting up blood and bile, shuddering as her wounds slowly stop bleeding. "Not..now...child," she gasps out, shuddering.

'Sure, what the fuck ever. Or how about a giant fuck off ship we can all live on? That works like fuck too, right, especially if we shake Vlaakith's tits until she gives us one, or take Jaela's or what the fuck ever. Oh hey, we could do shit with a flying fucking island. Call it the fucking Squidtopia and have it be a flying fortress of squids.'

[Yuthirin]

"Gross!" Calleigh pokes her with a wand of Cure Critical Wounds instead! [blockquote]Rolled 4d8+10 : 8, 2, 4, 7 + 10, total 31[/blockquote]
'What about a giant flying crystal skull? Too villain-chic? A crystal brain! With tentacles! Yes! I wonder where we'd find one. Probably have to make one. Hmm. We're going to need a lot of crystal. And a plumber.'

[Anastasia]

'No skulls. Let's not get fucking smited by someone just being on the safe side,' Dana shoots right back. 'Seriously, I think a flying ship is the way to go.'

[Yuthirin]

'I like the idea behind it, but it's all very gith. Why are you so keen on it? Fancy yourself a pirate queen?'

"Are you done ralphing?" from Calleigh.

[Anastasia]

"I...am well enough now, thank you, child," The valkyrie stands as Dana makes a few comments not suitable for public consumption. Huh, apparently your mother fancied equines, canines and maple trees.

Anyway, the valkyrie's wounds are still healing but she's recovering visibly. "You three are strong," she confesses, "I had thought the magic allowing me to control the weather and area here would be more than enough."

[Yuthirin]

"We're with Aurora. We're too awesome for stuff like that. You should totally join up and help! You're fighty!" Calleigh says, then turns to Dana, "She's not really my mommy. She's been dead for like, thousands of years. Her soul merged with Arborea. I think. Maybe. She liked Chauntea. Wherever Chauntea's people go. I dunno. But! Fighting! I bet Dana could train you up real good!"

[Anastasia]

"Yeah, fucking look," Dana takes a long exhale, "We need warriors to help us and we're looking for bitches who can be trained into something better than a warm puddle of squid piss. You up for it or are you too busy taking fire giant cock or whatever bullshit is here?"

Make a Diplo check just for my own reference, y'all.

"It is the way of Ysgard for the victorious to take from the vanquished," The valkyrie says, "I will serve you, if it is what you want. For now, so long as you remain strong."

[Yuthirin]

'Alright, you're with us then. That means we need to move on stealing something soon. Since we can't immediately return to Lifasa, let's look at going to help Debonah. She might have a line on something we can use. I'd rather not wander the Astral aimlessly again. I've got nowhere to drag a gigantic astral dreadnought corpse to.' Tryll replies to the group.

[Anastasia]

"Yeah," Dana smirks as she says, "Plus I learned some shit from this, too."

Two things.

1. Do you want the valkyrie as a full part of the node or a minor supporter?

2. You've completed Dana's first reward. Either you or her gain a bonus power known of 5th level or lower. The kicker: It has to be one the other person knows, but can be any power the other knows of the appropriate level. Let me know which and that you've visited the updated node topic.

[Yuthirin]

"What'd'ja learn!?" Calleigh asks.

1. Let's go full part of the node. Everybody wants their own valkyrie.
2. Dana's got nothing I want, she's free to choose something from my list.
2.5. I've visited the node topic.

[Anastasia]

Okay, she'll be posted in a day or two.

"It's called Energy Stun, motherfuckers! So, what's your name?" Dana asks.

"Miranda," The defeated valkyrie says, wounds still healing before your eyes. "Miranda the Brave."

[Yuthirin]

"Ohhhh, she's gotta title!" Calleigh grins, "I am Wind-Princess Calleigh Summerbreeze! Really rolls off the tongue, right? This is Dana." There is a lightning-fast boop of Dana's nose, "And the big ol' squidguy is Tryll. I hope you live up to your name, 'cause we're gonna do some CRAZY STUFF."

[Anastasia]

"I-" Miranda begins.

"Yeah, yeah, shut your hole, there's no cock here to suck. So where the fuck are we going now, Tryll?" Dana says, "Gimme some place I can put her through the paces without wrecking the plane just because she's powerful."
