[modoftheabyss.livejournal.com]

Who: Chester Barklight, Arche Klein, Philia Felice, Colette Brunel, Fon Master Ion, Arietta the Wild, Kyle Dunamis, Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear, Raven Ecks, Estellise Sidos Heurassein, and I think that's everyone? Anyone else in the area is free to tag in. /fails forever.
Where: Chesedonia
When: After the mega-exciting adventures in Daath, several of our pubescent heroes find themselves in Chesedonia! Where the sands are hot, and the interactions are even hotter!
Warnings: I AM SO SORRY FOR BEING SO SLOW IN GETTING THIS UP. Anywhere, here's how this works; instead of everyone just tracking the post and make a new comment thread altogether, everyone posts their own "thread" and you guys can respond to each other. TIME AND PLACE DOES NOT MATTER. Time skips are allowed. Both third person and first person formats are allowed (though both follow the activity requirement merits). Threadjacking encouraged. We'll see how this goes, and later on I'll try to get one up for Sheridan and also... some island where Raven and Estelle can meet up with the CFY group. Any questions, concerns, comments, and cock-punches may be directed to me by posting on abyssianooc.

The young blond soldier was just checked out from the bar, after having his lunch. It was time to get back to his work. Kyle had done nothing except patrolling Chesedonia. It seemed much more people gathering, since the south road closed. Just then he walked north, passed a green haired lady who taller than him. Then, he halted.

“Is that… Philia?” His voice was loud enough to be heard by her. Kyle slowly turned to her back. He would recognize her easily by the dress, the hair and of course, her voice if he’s not mistaken.

Hearing her name from a stranger, Philia would have been too engrossed in the book she was reading to notice; however, she did recognize the voice of Kyle, from a time long before Daath was even a part of her life. Turning around to face Kyle, Philia's face visibly lit up into a smile. "Kyle!" She enthused, walking hurriedly over to him and held his hands in hers, dropping any of her usual honorifics and mannerisms when with her childhood friend. "It's been a long time; how are things with you? The last time I wrote home, Lady Atwight told me you joined the Malkuth Military."

A wide smile drew on Kyle’s face, it was Philia alright. He felt a little bit embarrassed when she held his hand suddenly, leaving some curiosity of local people around them. “Glad having you here safe and sound. You saw me already. I’m managed to get into first private rank. My sleeping habit is still difficult to handle though.” He chuckled himself. “How about you, Philia? Everything’s good in Daath? What’s business you’re here anyway?” It’s awkward to see his old friend visit Chesedonia, since he knew her mostly sitting quiet in Daath.

"Things in Daath are a little... interesting, right now." Philia had no idea how to respond to the rumors that the Grand Maestro Mohs was attempting to orchestrate a war between Kimlasca and Malkuth; she originally left Daath on his orders, and now she wished to stay away from Daath so that Mohs wouldn't be able to use her as a pawn. It was difficult, to say the least. She also had parted ways with Sir Wilder, since she... well, that was an entirely different can of worms which she wasn't comfortable discussing at this point.

Still, the familiarity of having Kyle around was refreshing, to say the very least. The fact that he still had difficulty getting up in the morning was almost endearing, if mostly because she wasn't one who was responsible for getting him up. It was good to see him doing well, though, at what he set out to do.

Giving a slight sigh, she still allowed a small smile to escape from her lips. "Things aren't going so well, to be honest." There, she said it. "I know you don't have much say in the military, but things aren't going well; the Grand Maestro is trying to orchestrate a war between Kimlasca and Malkuth. Akzeriuth is only the tip of the iceberg, Kyle; it will most likely get worse."

Kyle though Philia was doing fine in Daath. But the word came from her made him a little bit shocked. He didn’t expect something about the news, and it was from Mohs after all. “Grand Maestro? So it wasn’t just from the grace. Now I get the bigger picture. You’re here because you’re afraid of him?” He shook his head down. He obviously will blame the ambassadors in Kimlasca, although he didn’t know who they’re.

“Philia, I guarantee you’ll be safe here. I’ll make sure there’s no any soldier from Kimlasca will come across the border. Even I had to face the war.” There’s most likely he will go into the battle field. If there’s no one who brave enough to stop the collision between two kingdoms.

Philia shook her head, but a smile was on her face; it was comforting to know that her childhood friend was looking out for her best interests. It seemed like nobody else was ever since she began her journey; everybody was looking out for number one, after all. "I can't stay here, Kyle; I'm going to go with my friends to look into this. There's more than just a war at stake; I have a feeling that this is much bigger than any of that, or any of us. It would be selfish of me to turn away for my own safety's sake." She tried to explain.

"I'm nto afraid of the Grand Maestro." She continued. "He's been there to teach me so many things, and while I can't believe this... I do feel a sense of responsibility to stop him."

Kyle frown his both eye brows. He couldn’t tell the smile was a fake or not. But seeing Philia’s face told him enough do not too worry. Still, he didn’t believe she would take the dangerous path. Kyle placed his both palm on her shoulder. “Then when you face him, what are you going to do? Philia, stopping Grand Maestro won’t help you avoid the war. I’m afraid if you’ll get arrested, and I…” He stuck on his words. If there’s a way that he could help her. But with his rank, there’s no way he could help her to stop Grand Maestro though.

"My record is clean, Kyle." Philia knew this was probably a lie; Mohs most likely had put something on her record to deter her, but on the other hand it was possible that he didn't think much of her to do anything, either. "I don't know yet what I'll do; all I know, doing nothing will be a fate worse than death. Kyle, much like you as a soldier of Malkuth wish to protect the people, I... also wish to protect people who would get hurt. Therefore, I must find a way to stop Mohs, no matter what." An expression of determination was apparent on her face, trying to tell Kyle even further not to worry. "And if I ever get arrested, I can count on you to get me out of a bind, can't I?" She winked.

Kyle said nothing but sighed. After all, Philia much older and more experience than him. She knew how to take care of herself and Kyle won’t deny it. If this was Philia wanted to do than Kyle tried his best to support her, as the way she support him. Everyone might do the same thing for the others who they love. Kyle let go off from her shoulders and rubbed his back head. “Gezz, Philia. You do really want me get into trouble. But yeah, you got me.” He got his strength back and placed the arm on his hip, like a hero. “You can count on me. Whenever you got trouble, I’ll come to rescue you… I promise.” He always wanted to say this to his dearest. And he just realized he met someone before her. “Oh right, maybe you recognize Raine. I just met her here few days ago. She’s headed to Sheridan so she will be alright till then.”
