Ragnarök-RP Thread

[DaReaperMan]

"No need for the formalities with me..." Yharon said, chuckling a bit himself

Cullthane eyes dragged to where Metatron was, a bit of aggression in them as he replied "Fine."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Ythala chuckled, blushing a bit.

"..Yeah...we didn't do anything! R-really" She said

Lance glanced over at Metatron. A small smile on his face.

"...I hope it works out for him..." He thought.

 

[azontr]

"Forgive me, merely a habit," Okita said back to Yharon.

Metatron nodded and smiled, doing his best to ignore the aggression in Cullthane's expression. "Okay, thank you. Hopefully, we find a window between... whatever we're going to be doing." Metatron said.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

"Well let's move" said Jack as he stood up from his chair that dematerialized later

 

[DaReaperMan]

"Hmph." Cullthane grunted in response, moving to leave, Imperius watching the two Seraphim closely while Terevion just sighed and Raviathon looked genuinely pained

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

David glanced wearily at the obvious friction between the two Seraphim, but shook his head.

"...Ay Okita. Ya mind if we talk for a bit when we get some time? Somethin I'm curious about." He said, glancing at the women.

 

[azontr]

Metatron just sighed, moving to leave as well, while Kiara and Rory followed soon after.

"Oh, of course, sir David," Okita said politely as they moved.

 

[DaReaperMan]

"That could cause issues..." Terevion muttered, tapping Gabriel on the back in such a day that said they should leave as well, Rhongomyniad beginning to move forward as well

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

David nodded.

"Just David is fine. I'm just a regular guy" He said, chuckling a bit. He moved forward, Masayoshi following next to him.

Lance looked at Cullthane.

"...Perhaps this could be...more difficult...then I imagined..." Lance thought. He shook his head, still choosing to remain optimistic as he walked behind the group.

Ythala remained in Oktia's arms, hugging her tightly as she moved.

 

[azontr]

Gabriel shot up, clearly distracted by something. "O-Oh, right, we should leave!" She said as she began to move.

"Don't mind it, it's just a habit of mine to address those greater than I am with respect, please, pay no mind to it..." Okita murmured.

Kinzer stretched out a bit before beginning to walk next to Rhongomyniad.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Eh?" David said, looking at Okita blankly.

"What are ya talking about? I ain't greater than ya."

 

[azontr]

Okita froze for a moment and then continued walking, "Well, even I can tell that you possess experience that I could not hope to achieve, sir David... I believe I could learn quite the sum from you."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

David scratched his head.

"That's...flattering. But honestly, I probably couldn't teach ya much." David said. He chuckled a bit.

"...I Saw how ya were handling Rory in your last spar. Ya already a top-class fighter."

 

[azontr]

"Surely you jest, I was merely being manhandled by s- ahem... Rory and Imperius during that entire spar, sir David... I was no match." Okita said humbly.

 

[DaReaperMan]

"What were you going to say?" Imperius asked, intrigued

 

[azontr]

"What were you going to say?" Imperius asked, intrigued

"Oh, I was merely going to add the 'sir' to both of your names, sorry... It seems that is a habit I must fall out of." Okita said lightheartedly with a chuckle.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Surely you jest, I was merely being manhandled by s- ahem... Rory and Imperius during that entire spar, sir David... I was no match." Okita said humbly.

"Don't sell ya self short, lady." David said.

"Most fighters would have lost in moments. Those two are some of the best fighters we have in the group."

 

[azontr]

"Don't sell ya self short, lady." David said.

"Most fighters would have lost in moments. Those two are some of the best armed fighters we have in the group."

"Forgive me, it is just difficult to not feel... a bit insignificant when faced with such incredible power. Not that that is a bad thing, it just shows me that I have far more room to grow in my short life." Okita said with a smile, though, there were a few pauses in between her words.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Ay...we all start somewhere, ya know? Ya reached a level that most wouldn't achieve even with centuries of training, as far as like...raw technique is concerned." David said, scratching his head.

"....and if ya stay...with us, I'm sure one of us could help ya along a bit." He added. He wanted her to stay around, a feeling of despair growing in his body at the thought of another person he had gotten to know being erased by the Lostbelts.

 

[azontr]

"I... I think I would like that, David." Okita said, "I've never been the... strongest person alive, so, knowing that there are people around to help me in my time of need is comforting, at least."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

David breathed out an inward sigh of relief. He knew if she stuck with them, she could make it out. Just like Kinzer did. Hearing she was willing to stay clearly calmed his nerves.

"...ay...it's no problem" He said, flashing her a small smile.

"I...know what it's like to be weak. Well...at least weak in comparison to the rest, anyway. So I'm more than willing to help dealing with something like that..."

 

[azontr]

"Well, I'm glad someone can sympathize, at least. Though I don't believe I could reach the level of physical strength someone such as you possesses regardless of how much I train, heh, I am what most would call a 'twig'." Okita said lightheartedly.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"....I wanted to ask about that..." David said, glancing at Okita.

"...Don't mean to pry but, are ya sick or somethin? Figured someone who trains like ya would have more muscle mass." He said.

 

[azontr]

"I used to believe I was sick but apparently I am cursed instead... It has affected all the women in my family for many generations, which would include me. It prevents me from building muscle mass, as you can see, and makes physical exertion not at all my friend." Okita explained.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

David stared at her for a moment.

"...Damn. I'm... really sorry to hear that..." He said, sympathy clear in his voice. For someone like him, who had spent his life dedicated to building his body...hearing that someone was forced to remain frail was...unnerving, to the say least.

 

[azontr]

"It is nothing to apologize for, David. I have another way of temporarily boosting my strength regardless." Okita said.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Ay...yeah. meant to ask about that too..." David said, glancing at her.

"...Seems like you're body doesn't...stop ya from fighting when it counts. What kinda technique are ya using?"

 

[azontr]

"Well, barring pure sword skills, I had to also study a... particular breathing technique, if that makes sense. Its roots are from Ancient China, but, those in this country merely refer to it as Cultivation or Qi Breathing. You are aware of the concept of internal energy, or life energy, yes?" Okita asked.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Uh, I've heard of some martial artists using things like that, I think." David said, rubbing his chin.

"is it kinda like that...Fa Jin thing some fighters use?" He asked.

 

[azontr]

"Akin to it, yes. The process involves tempering internal energy, otherwise known as Qi, within one's body, which allows for immense physical reinforcement and strengthening if properly executed. To do this one needs to master manipulating internal functions, specifically pertaining to the lungs and the heart." Okita explained.

"Though, in a few novels I've read, some powerful Cultivators are capable of achieving some, ahem, ridiculous reality-warping feats, heh. Definitely not within the realm of the Martial Arts I am familiar with." Okita said.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

(have we already got off the ship or are we still inside?)

 

[azontr]

(have we already got off the ship or are we still inside?)

(We're already off of it and we're walking to Edo, which is about a mile away since you can't really park the Hyperion that close to the city cause the ship is ******* enormous.)

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Akin to it, yes. The process involves tempering internal energy, otherwise known as Qi, within one's body, which allows for immense physical reinforcement and strengthening if properly executed. To do this one needs to master manipulating internal functions, specifically pertaining to the lungs and the heart." Okita explained.

"Though, in a few novels I've read, some powerful Cultivators are capable of achieving some, ahem, ridiculous reality-warping feats, heh. Definitely not within the realm of the Martial Arts I am familiar with." Okita said.

"Oh. So it revolves around manipulating the body?" David said, cocking his head.

"I've done a lot of training with that myself. I could give ya some tips if ya ever have trouble with it." He offered.

 

[azontr]

"Well, from what I read in some old books, that's it. When I start getting to higher levels it may become more complicated, but, I wouldn't know." Okita said, shrugging a bit.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

(We're already off of it and we're walking to Edo, which is about a mile away since you can't really park the Hyperion that close to the city cause the ship is ******* enormous.)

(Ok)
Jack was walking calmly, until just out of boredom he kicked a small rock, when he touch with his feet, his face filled with surprise.

".....Could be?" Jack murmured, he analyze the rock.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Well, from what I read in some old books, that's it. When I start getting to higher levels it may become more complicated, but, I wouldn't know." Okita said, shrugging a bit.

David nodded, folding his arms.

"So are ya the only Cultivator around, or are there others out there? Ya said you got it from some old books, right?"

 

[azontr]

David nodded, folding his arms.

"So are ya the only Cultivator around, or are there others out there? Ya said you got it from some old books, right?"

"My family also practiced the same techniques when they were around, yes," Okita said.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"My family also practiced the same techniques when they were around, yes," Okita said.

David nodded.

"Sorry for prying so much, just curious is all. Ain't met someone like ya in these Lostbelts." He said, shrugging a bit.

 

[azontr]

David nodded.

"Sorry for prying so much, just curious is all. Ain't met someone like ya in these Lostbelts." He said, shrugging a bit.

"Someone like me?" Okita asked, "Do elaborate."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Someone like me?" Okita asked, "Do elaborate."

"I mean like...." David said, scratching his head.

"Someone who's willing to stick their neck out for others, despite being physically weak themselves. Kinda like a...hero, I guess?" David said.

"I don't know. I just think ya interesting to talk to. That's all" David said, shrugging.
