[RP] Final Fantasy IX: Scars of Terra

Robert Crescent
Freya Crescent
Sir Fratley​

"Yes your majesty. I will give the orders to the dragon riders and canons once we see how Oeilvert intends to approach Burmecia and I will give the officers clearance to launch the airships to Lindblum and Alexandria." Freya spoke before she gave a bow and headed out of the throne room.

Robert gave a nod to King Puck as he was given his assignment to aid his father in the defense of the castle. "I will defend this place, the mirrors and the people within this castle with my life." Robert spoke with a firm and resolute tone of voice. He may not have been even a twinkle in his mother's eye when Brahne and Kuja nearly obliterated Burmecia, but having grown up around the survivors, Robert refused to allow history to repeat itself. He would see Burmecia standing tall and strong instead of littered with the bodies of innocent people.

Annelise seemed to have her hands full with her flirtatious admirer. "No time for social calls Annie. My mother might need some aid if the Oeilvert forces reach the gates. I'm going to assist my father with the castle defenses." Robert commented as he walked over to Annelise and her admirer.

As he made his way to where he suspected his father Fratley would be, he thought about what Twinsword said about Terra being the so-called promised land. How could it be the promised anything? The whole surface of Terra was annihilated by Kuja, and his mother was there when it happened. What promised land could there possibly be waiting for them but an absolute wasteland?

Robert approached his father and stood at attention. "King Puck has sent me to assist you in the castle's defense, father." he spoke in a rather soldierly manner. Fratley gave a light chuckle to just how serious Robert looked and sounded.

"Well then, I'd say Oielvert is in quite some trouble if they have to deal with the three top dragon knights in all of Burmecia." Fratley jested, though his words weren't that far off. Freya had battled the greatest threat to this world seventeen years ago, and Fratley was every bit her equal even if his combat style was a bit different. And then there was Robert. He wasn't as strong as either of his parents yet, but he had the potential to join their ranks and was trained by the two to one day surpass them.

"Now then, all we have to do is wait and see how the enemy wishes to approach." Fratley spoke as he looked out at the horizon.
 
"you have no idea how cute you look right now... It's very... Alluring"

"C-Cute?!?" Anne said, surprised.

"maybe I should help out, i've certainly got my eye on you, of course if you refuse...I may have to find some other means of peruasion..."

Watching the woman loosen her button and then moving forward against her body, Anne was still in shock. "W-What are you doing...P-Please get off!"

"No time for social calls Annie. My mother might need some aid if the Oeilvert forces reach the gates. I'm going to assist my father with the castle defenses."

"W-What? Social Call? Y-You're not even gonna help me?" The beet red Alexandrian Knight of the Blue Wings said before slumping to the ground after Robert left.
 
Watching Annelise slump to the floor, Lucia simply looked down before croucing down in front of her "Well then, what'll it be?" giggling slightly as she began putting her arms around Annelise, preventing her getting away "or would you rather go somewhere more private instead?"

---------------------------------------

Forcing himself back up to his feet Ricard, using his Katana as a crutch began to limp away to Annelises room at the Inn, passing Annelise on the way, getting, as he saw it, cuddled by the woman from the other night. Limping on without a word he made his way back to the Inn, upon entering he headed straight to Annelise's room before laying on his back beside the fire, waiting for his energy to return.
 
Lan Ester

After hearing everything in the throne room, Lan left the throne room and saw Anne with the other girl on her. Sighing, Lan walked up to the pair and gave a slight cough.

"Seeing that you are going to do something to an army personnel, I'll take this time to save the girl." Lan muttered as he grabbed Anne, pried the ladies arm off of Anne, and dragged her away from the women. He dragged Anne to her feet and then picked up the stolen genome armor.

Placing some of the armor in Anne's arms, Lan smiled at the Lady as he shooed Anne with his tail.

"Come now Anne. We gotta see if you can get these armor on me for my impersonation." Lan muttered as he marched right behind Anne.
 
With all said and done, her business in the throne room was over for the time being. As far as her mission was concerned, it never made any mention of dealings with Burmercia, so she decided that she ought not disturb the King of Burmercia. If any, it should be the Ipsen Ambassador that does that - and she most certainly wasn't.

Bowing lightly, she swung about-face to leave the throne room, her indigo hair swaying rhythmically with her every step. Alleria quickly made for the inn, and along the way to her room, caught sight of Annelise and another female in a rather awkward position. Rolling her eyes, she tore her gaze away before entering her own room, where she would rest until the action began again.
 
Aaron Sohm
Burmecia​

Aaron was puzzled a moment on what to do but he figured he'd go out and wander around the castle a bit more before anything happened,as he wander's outside the throne room he see's the girl he had helped earlier.

Aaron:Hey..you feeling any better now...uhh..

He didn't know her name,but he figured it wouldn't hurt to talk to a fellow Genome till everything got started.

Aaron:..Well my name's Aaron,it's nice to meet you,look's like you wont be going anywhere for awhile so what do you plan on doing now..?


((OOC:Short post))
 
"Well then, what'll it be? Would you rather go somewhere more private instead?"

"Alright, alright you could help, please stop! It's uncomfortable." Anne said as the other female put her arms around her person.

Immediately thereafter, Lan appeared to pick up Anne and shoo her away with his tail. "Come now Anne. We gotta see if you can get these armor on me for my impersonation."

As they started walking away from the obviously lesbian female, Anne said to Lan. "Thank you Lan, but might I ask, why are you trying to impersonate an Oeilvert officer?"

----
The Twinsword

The Twinsword was the last to leave, although she was still a Prisoner of War, she was at least allowed to stay with Ricard while he recovered. As she left the throne room she saw that female that exited the room with that Alexandrian Knight. As she slowly walked past her she said, "You must have a thing for girls in armor huh?" Twinsword said.

Shortly thereafter, Aaron appeared, and spoke to the woman as well. Well my name's Aaron,it's nice to meet you,look's like you wont be going anywhere for awhile so what do you plan on doing now..?

OOC: Short post, losing inspiration...

As Annelise got led away, Lucia giggled to herself "mission accomplished I guess" butoning up her cloak again Lucia turned to the door to the throne room, seeing the young man from earlier, and the cute girl.

"You must have a thing for girls in armor huh?"

"Not just girls in armour, cutiepie, maybe i'll show you tonight"

Well my name's Aaron,it's nice to meet you,look's like you wont be going anywhere for awhile so what do you plan on doing now..?

"That's already taken care of, thanks to my little talk with her" Lucia then casually pointed to the walking away Annelise "I guess you could say i'm helping out"
 
Aaron Sohm
Burmecia​

"That's already taken care of, thanks to my little talk with her" Lucia then casually pointed to the walking away Annelise "I guess you could say i'm helping out"

Aaron:...I See then I guess we'll be working together then,I'm helping out here too.I was on my way to find Lord Fratley for advice on where to take up a position at.

I would ask you but I'm not too sure your combat ready yet..

Shrug's his shoulder's as he walk's past,looking out the window seeing soldier's all over town preparing for whatever enemy may come through.

Aaron:I'll give em this much they are a organized force now,but if that woman come's back I doubt they'll slow her down much..Fratley or Freya could be a equal match maybe..

Aaron look's back and start's to walk off.

Aaron:If your gonna fight alongside them come along with me,might wanna know they're battle strategy..

Aaron Continues down the hall.I guess Genome's have evolved alot now,having emotion's and urges just like human's and other's.
 
"Nobody knows women as well as me, I doubt she's that tough" Lucia joked, moving her chest forward arrogantly.

Lucia then began to walk back to the Inn, walkin over to the room she woke up in, presumably where she as meant to stay. Before that though she noticed a room with it's door left ajar, taking a look out of curiosity she noticed the man from earlier laying by the fire.

"Well you're probably just as much fun to play with, shame you're a man though..."
 
Lan Ester

"Thank you Lan, but might I ask, why are you trying to impersonate an Oeilvert officer?"

Lan started to put on the stolen armor as he looked at Anne.

"It's all about creating deception in the enemy force. If I can get the oeilvert forces to desert their army, then all we have to do is take out their generals and leader. Even if that fails, I would have put in enough doubt for the common foot solider to start questioning the reason behind the war and from that, it might be possible to get an answer. It also gives me a chance to either take out one of their generals from behind the line, poison their troops, eliminate their leader, or find out their real objective. It's a huge risk to take, but looking at what we are defending, a necessary one. The only other person that could help me in this is Alleria." Lan answered as he put the easiest armor on, the helmet.

"Help me out here. Then tell Freya, Rob and the others what I have in mind. Just don't let Twin Swords know what I am up to." Lan muttered looking at Anne.

"The problem about that though is that the common footsoldier, even from one that had been ravaged by war such as Oeilvert would still have a disciplined military. Are you certain that the enemy would really be demoralized like that."

However Lan answered, he would also say, "Help me out here. Then tell Freya, Rob and the others what I have in mind. Just don't let Twin Swords know what I am up to."

"Alright, I'm supposed to head over to meet Freya anyway." Anne said as she looked around, thinking from her limited experience of seeing an Oeilvert soldier, and picking out a sword that they would use, giving it to the monk. "Just be careful, and try not to get yourself killed doing what you are doing. Oh, and if you find out anything, please try to get it to us as soon as you possibly can." She slid the sword on the sheath that came with the armor, then moved around to secure the chest plate in place.

After helping Lan, she left the room to go and meet up with Freya. She had to quickly make her way out of the castle, and move towards the edge of the city, where the Alexandrian Knight met with Freya. Although many a person here had face of confidence and certainty that they will succeed, Anne was worried, not just for Lan, but also for Burmecia.

"Lady Freya, I have come to assist in the defense of the city gates." She saluted towards the Burmecian Dragon Knight, waiting for her reply.
 
Lan Ester

"The problem about that though is that the common footsoldier, even from one that had been ravaged by war such as Oeilvert would still have a disciplined military. Are you certain that the enemy would really be demoralized like that."

"It depends. All I have to do now is to try. Just don't get married to that lady. You are way too cute for that." Lan muttered as he saw Anne put all of the armor beside the helmet on him.

Everything all set, Lan decided to leave his Cat Claw in the city. He was nervous, not having his trusted weapon with him. But he figured that if the deception worked, he would grab a pair of claws from the Oeilvert army.

"Well, here goes nothing." Lan muttered as he rushed out of the Castle and into the Chocobo stables. Seeing a Chocobo in the stables, Lan got on it and with a slight squeeze on it's side, the chocobo rushed out of the stables and out of the city, hoping that Anne would tell Freya and the others about his plan.

A few miles out of the city, Lan ran into the scouts numbering 10 strong. Where on the sight of Lan in the Oeilvert Armor, saluted him.

"Sir." the scouts exclaimed.

Lan got off of the Chocobo and grabbed the reign of the chocobo while taking note of the proper salute the scouts displayed.

"I have verified that General Twin Swords is inside the City and preparing to strike." Lan said while lowering his voice to sound older.

"That is splendid news sir. Do you wish for an escort back to the main camp?" One of the scouts asked.

"Yes." Lan answered.

Five of the scouts took position around Lan as he and the five scouts started marching to the Main camp.
 
Freya Crescent​

Freya looked over to Annelise and gave a warm smile and nod to her. "I'm glad to have you fighting alongside us." she spoke calmly as she saw the worry on Annelise's face. "There are plenty of reasons to worry, but you should always show your strong side during times like these. Worry tends to spread, and it can cause you to make mistakes when the time comes." Freya explained in a friendly tone of voice.

"It's rather a shame your folks decided to retire. They're the best knights in all of Alexandria. But I can understand why. They've passed the torch to you, and you will carve your own legacy, just as Robert will carve out his own. Fratley and I trained him every bit as hard as Fratley trained with me when I was just a new recruit and had the whole of the recruits and teachers that tried to break me down because I was the only female who had joined and showed real talent." Freya spoke, reminiscing a bit about her own past, the memories she held that Fratley was only recently beginning to remember. "I know your parents have most likely trained you the best they could and gave you all of the tools you'll need to succeed." Freya spoke to Annelise.
 
Aaron Sohm
Burmecia Castle​

Aaron wander's around the Castle and see's Sir Fratley looking out to estimate when the Enemy would attack or maybe see what weapon's they will use in the battle,at any rate Aaron find's a path that lead's to Fratley and walk's up to him

Aaron:Lord Fratley I would like to help with the Defense of the Kingdom if you don't mind that is..If you want my help could you tell me where I should take up a post?

((OOC:Short post to keep my guy alive))
 
Annelise Steiner

"I'm glad to have you fighting alongside us."

"Glad to fight alongside you as well." Anne gave the Burmecian a weak smile.

"There are plenty of reasons to worry, but you should always show your strong side during times like these. Worry tends to spread, and it can cause you to make mistakes when the time comes."

Anne remembered that line before, it was Beatrix, her own mother who once told her that, and she wasn't the only one. Gisale too said the same thing. But she couldn't help but to worry, not just for her safety, but for her friends and every innocent person.

"It's rather a shame your folks decided to retire. They're the best knights in all of Alexandria. But I can understand why. They've passed the torch to you, and you will carve your own legacy, just as Robert will carve out his own.

Except it was not the case with her, more often than not, Anne was often in her parent's shadow. Having to live up to your parent's legacy was something she had to live with, and she herself found it hard to break away and create her own story. She guessed that Robert would've felt the same way at some point.

Still, having the torch passed to her, met that all the attention was now on her, expecting to do such great things.

Fratley and I trained him every bit as hard as Fratley trained with me when I was just a new recruit and had the whole of the recruits and teachers that tried to break me down because I was the only female who had joined and showed real talent."

Her face was that of surprise, she never once considered that Freya of all people had had it hard during her training days. To be the only female, yet was able to outperform the men, it was common in a place like Alexandria since it was a matriarchal society and the women mainly were the dominant people in both politics and military. But in Burmecia, where it wasn't the case, for someone like Freya to be the top of her class must've been humiliating to the men, perhaps that was why Fratley took her in.

"I know your parents have most likely trained you the best they could and gave you all of the tools you'll need to succeed."

"I understand, but what if it's not enough?" Anne looked away from Freya, looking dissapointed, she was still dissapointed at herself for not having been able to save her comrades, and had they been saved, to relieve Cleyra from the Oeilvert forces.

"What if I am not able to live up to the expectations as a knight of Alexandria? What if people think of me as inferior?"

----
The Twinsword

Although the Twinsword by all effective means a Prisoner of War, she nonetheless was led to the inn where Ricard was staying at. The front entrance, guarded by two Burmecians left her within its walls. Nonetheless, she may as well get acquainted to it, if it was so she could remain close to Ricard, then that is a choice she is willing to make.

As she headed to a room, she looked into an open door and saw Ricard along with the woman she saw earlier, appearing to make advances on him. Twinsword, getting annoyed and a bit angry just looking said to her, "Just what the hell are you doing?!?"
 
As Ricard struggled to his feet to face Lucia, who has intruded on him in Annelise's room, the woman began to approach him. Placing his hand against the wall to support himself, Lucia quickly got into his space, placing a hand to his cheek, something he didn't take pleasantly "When I get a closer look at you though, you're not too bad... While we're alone, maybe we should get to-"

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard someone enter the room "Just what the hell are you doing?!?"

"Looks like your cute little admirer is here, perhaps she'd like to join us for a little fun"

Moving out of Lucia's reach he turned to her, a look of impatience on his face "Please go, i'll deal with the girl"

"Okay pretty boy, we can get aquainted later" Lucia let out a cheeky giggle, making sure Twin Sword was aware of it as she left the room, stroking along Twin Sword's hair as she walked past, closing the door behind her.

Ricard then looked at Twin Sword as he slowly moved into a seating position, trying to ignore the pain "And why are you here? Planning to give me similar treatment to what she gave out?"
 
Lan Ester: At the entrance to the main camp.

Soon enough, Lan and his escort reached the main camp. Activity was high due to raid Lan and the others led. The scouts saluted Lan.

"We are preparing for the morning attack. Please feel free to prepare in any way sir. We also received word that General Pirate will be leading the assault." the scouts stated.

"General Pirate?" Lan asked.

"Yes. The Royal Oeilvert Airforce Leader. Some say he's a free spirit. Personally, I think he lost it within the clouds. But no one deputes the results he provides." The scout whispered.

Lan nodded as the scouts took leave.

"I need to find a moogle. Fast. They need to know about this." Lan muttered as he walked into the camp. Looking around the active camp, Lan saw a moogle standing at the sidelines avoiding the soldiers. Lan walked up to the moogle and kneeled to it's height.

"Hey. I need to send a letter through Mognet to a person named Annelise in Burmecia. Can you do that for me?" Lan whispered into the moogle's ears.

"I can do that, Kupo." the moogle replied.

"Send the following message on paper to Annelise. New Six General Leading airship assault. Name is Pirate. Current abilities unknown. Suspected plan of attack is through air strike. Current objective for attack is unknown. Will find out more. Lan Ester" Lan whispered as the moogle took out a piece of paper and quill and quickly started writing. As soon as the moogle finished, it stood up and started running towards the entrance of the Main camp.

"Make sure you get it to her Quickly. As fast as your wings will let you fly." Lan muttered as the moogle flapped it's little wing and flew off.

Lan watched the moogle fly out of sight towards Burmecia as he turned back into camp and started walking deeper into the camp.

"Now, where do I find the Six generals?" Lan whispered to himself as he looked around.
 
Freya Crescent
Sir Fratley​

Freya shook her head a bit. "Don't be your own worst enemy. If anything, there's only one person in this entire world who's expectations you have to live up to: your own. You are no more Beatrix or Adelbert than Robert is me or Fratley. You need to carve out your own future, whatever that mat be. If you do what you feel in your heart is the right thing to do and you can look back and have no regrets, then it doesn't matter what other people expect of you." Freya explained to Annelise. "Believe in yourself and in your friends. Just like I tell all of my subordinates, no one fights alone."

"Believe me, I know what failure feels like. I was unable to save Burmecia, Cleyra or Puck's father, and when I finally found Fratley, I discovered that he had suffered amnesia so severe that he couldn't even remember his own name, much less me. But despite all of that, I still had friends. Zidane and Vivi were there when I needed them the most. Quina was, well, Quina and too concerned about eating. They gave me new strength. That's why friends are so important. If anyone says you're inferior, chances are it's because they're afraid you'll surpass them and they want to demoralize you. Never let yourself believe it. Never fall into that trap." Freya added.


Fratley looked at Aaron when the man approached him to ask where Fratley would like him stationed. "Vivius and the other black mages at the center of town could use some extra defense since they only have their magics to rely upon." Fratley replied to the young man.
 
Aaron Sohm
Burmecia Castle Terrace​

"Vivius and the other black mages at the center of town could use some extra defense since they only have their magics to rely upon."

Aaron:Very well I'll protect them,you can count on me!

Aaron bow's in respect and walk's back down into the castle,He figures this would be the best way for him to help out since Black Mage's don't have much for Physical Prowess they would be the first to be attacked in a big battle,it would be smart to have a CQC Fighter as a Guard protecting them from mounted or ground force's the problem he thinks about now is how he should guard them from harm.

He finally find's the exit and walk's outside.

Aaron:Alright I guess I'll head off to my post then the Center of town should be easy enough to find..

He walk's toward's the Center of town,and find's the group of Black Mage's and Explain's that he's part of their defense force.
