Re: An Unforseen Storm (ranger and thetwo)
Ashley gravitated towards the library, finding it all but empty for once. Jenn was gone, she knew not where, but a quick search did nothing to turn up the water mage, as she wasn't in any of her usual spots. Tesnya wasn't there either, though that was less surprising given the athletic girl's preferred branch of magics, and she couldn't find Nina either. Just as she was about to leave, however, when Charles practically walked into her as they both turned around a corner.
He rebounded off of Ashley with a soft thump, but then smiled and reached out a hand to steady her. He looked worlds better than he had the day before, and was dressed in the fairly snug, sparse clothes that he had preferred rather than the tattered robes that they'd found in the abandoned church. "
Ashley!" he began, obviously glad to see her. He'd been fairly out of it even after Chloe's healing and his awakening the night before, requiring assistance on the walk back to the Academy, but now he seemed fully recovered from their ordeal. "
I was looking for you! I never got to thank you properly... That thing had me dead to rights, so you must have done something to get it away from me, and then something to heal me once it was taken care of. Tesnya told me about what happened after, I was awake but.... I wouldn't call it aware. So..... Thanks." He gave her arm a gentle squeeze and then moved to release her.

Chloe, in the meantime, was working in the infirmary, where she'd been gladly accepted to help with the triage. The aliens were vicious fighters when they fought to kill, and many of their blows were swiftly lethal as Chloe knew well, but there was still much need for healing magics, and her experience ensured that she was accepted with full honors to the Academy's healing staff. Nina came to visit on her first day, looking much better than she had during their trip out to fight the aliens, and during the harrowing adventures in the abandoned church, and even offered Chloe a thin smile as she came in. "
Hello Chloe!" she said brightly, taking a seat on one of the benches. It had been a quiet day, with few new reports of wounded, and the infirmary was practically empty. "
How are you doing since.... You know... We got back?" she asked, briefly looking a bit haunted by their ordeal before her sweet smile returned.
~~~~Game Over~~~~
If you haven't done so already, PM me your detailed plans for what you're going to have your characters do over the timeskip to DG3. Update your sheets, spend exp of which you each get an additional 4, spend your allowances, etc. And make sure that everything's in line with all of the rules changes since your characters were made. Once all the ruleskeeping is over and done with, I can start the two of you in DG3. Anything further from the above can be played out to completion, as I won't deprive you of your well-earned victory smut, but that's entirely up to you.
