The Knights Next Door

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He waved, smiling. He'd ask later. "What are you guys up too? Oh! New people! Hello! You... actually, heaven help you with this group. They are weird as all get out. I mean, I snuck into the basement once and I found so many weapons... I'm half convinced they're a group of highly trained assassins!" He looked deadly serious, but he was whispering comically loudly and directly at them. If he wasn't joking, he'd need serious mental help.

"Uh... yeah, we like to practice self-defense, You never know? I'm just gonna uh... get some popcorn." Flid semi-ran to the kitchen. He was never good under pressure.

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

Jason stared after him, blinking. "I wonder if he knew I was joking..." He hummed, then turned, he smiled, about to speak when he realized there was a movie. "Oh, what are we watching?" He grinned, glancing around the room at all the new people again.

Niscroc continued to wirl warningly unsee to all but Luther

"LoTR but somthing came up.  Please don't trouble yourself further," he said. 

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He shrugged, nodding and sitting in a way that let him pretend to stare at the TV screen while actually staring at and listening to Niscroc, wondering why this hallucination was freaking out. The other things his mental issues conjured usually just Floated around or talked about meaningless things that didn't make any sense, like 'void bringers'. He hummed, curious. 

[Bookish Ocelot she/her]

Leona tried to hide Azriel but to no avail. Oh well. Jason had probably figured out that they weren't normal. "What's up? Haven't seen you in a bit." She supposed he'd figured out the weapons bit anyways.

Maybe it's a coincidence, but why does everyone have green profile pics all of the sudden?

Yee!

He smiled, not seeming to pay attention to Azriel. "Me and Ax went on a date. It was nice- there was music, and then we spent all day at my place. How was your day?" He grinned, intentionally ignoring her spren. He was good at pretending that the spren- what he had nicknamed 'dead people'- weren't real, especially since he didn't believe they were real. He was convinced he was schizophrenic or something.

Azriel is a sword.- Onyx is the spren. Though Azriel is a five-and-a-half foot blue hunk of metal so- also hard to miss. 

"My day was pretty good." She tried to think of a way to remove the numerous injuries, surgebinding, and other incidents. "I made some cake. Went swimming. Read a book." 

Onyx decided to appear right in front of her face. you're forgetting something. many somethings.

Oh no. There was no way to explain this. 

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He nodded. The sword was something he had already mentioned. Besides, people didn't chop you in half if you avoided talking about their deadly, enormous weapons of painful agony. The glowing dead person in her face didn't help. He had trouble gauging her emotions. He hummed. "Sounds like your day was packed. What book did you read- and is there anymore cake?" He grinned hopefully, knowing that she could probably still see him.

alright I have to go. Be back in about 12 hours. 

"I was reading Carry On by Rainbow Rowell. One of my favorites." And the cake. She was pretty sure Flid had eaten all of it. But she wasn't about to soulcast in front of him. She set Azriel down on the floor and walked towards the kitchen. "Come on. I'll see if we can find you some cake. I think all we have is chocolate. Is that okay?" 

"ONYX," she hissed under her breath, "you can go now!"

no. i will stay.

He nodded, grinning and standing up. "That would Awesome! Do you think there's enough for me to share with Ax?" He smiled, ignoring what the Spren was saying. Stupid dead people...

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

Ax just stood next to Jace and waited for him to talk to him or something.

Jason took Ax's arm and followed Leona. "Come on- the girl over there says she might have some cake around here somewhere! It's chocolate too! You'll love it!" He grinned.

Aside to Leona Luther says softly "You are an elsecaller correct?"

Is he speaking to Leona? We try to use third-person, it helps keep things clear.

So here's her nightmare. I wrote this before the whole discussion about the Unmade.

Xino I wasn't sure about that battle thing and what it means and how it works. Should this post lead to consequences like her loosing her spren, let me edit please

@xinoehp512

Shana dreamed.

Laughing she changed her grip on her weapon and then charged her opponent again. Rob evaded, his face impassive as always. He rushed towards her, his fists met her shoulder, her chest. Grinning she danced away and slashed at his feet and her weapon left a bloody streak on his shin. Rob tackled her to the ground, and she was falling, a blade through her shoulder she lay beneath him, his body heavy as stone.

"I give up."

She clapped at his leg twice, the sign for surrender.

"I don't care, little Dustbringer."

He drawled, his face twisting into the grimace of a voidbringer, its eyes glowing red. Its hands clamped around her throat, choking her. Shana tried to breathe, to draw some air into her lungs, but she couldn't. She clawed at his hands, but he was like iron unmoveable. Panicking Shana clamped her hand over his, ripped his skin apart in a vain attempt to get out, to get away. The stench of burning flesh made her gag, but she could breathe again. Her enemy screamed in pain and it was Ben's voice, his beautiful face drawn in pain, his skin she'd burned from his bones. Shana screamed, tried to get close to him, to help him, but she couldn't move, couldn't walk, could do nothing but watch him burn.

Shana's hand closed tightly on a piece of Ben's shirt, her eyes moving fast behind her lids.

"Yes," she whispered to Luther. "But why? They don't need to know that."

Louder, she said "Yeah. There's always tons of cake. It's my favorite food. Probably bad for me, but you know what they say. Live bright, die young." She opened the fridge. A colossal cake was on a platter. She took it out and set it on the counter. Thank the storms this one was a normal shape and not play-doh animal-shaped. 

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

Jason grinned. "Holy cow! That's incredible! What do you think, Ax?" He grinned at him, curious. Besides, it was easier to talk to him then Leona right now- Ax's spren wasn't floating in front of his face.

[Bookish Ocelot she/her]

"Uh, I'm going to go get some plates." Onyx remained stubbornly hovering where Leona had been. She was now hissing threateningly at Jason. 

i know what you are. why do you not admit it?

Leona retrieved two plates from the cabinet, along with two forks and a knife. "You guys can have however much you want, we have a nearly unlimited supply of cake." She handed Jason the knife. 

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He smiled, taking the knife. "Thank you very much." Returned humming and- when no one could see his expression glaring at the spren. It was interacting with him... that was against the rules, and he was annoyed. He sliced the cake, his body language still saying he was happy and calm as he cut the cake. He smiled again as he handed Ax a slice. "This looks good. You made it?" He grinned.

Ax started eating.
