Random Scenario Thing

0 × Recruitment. I want you(!) to join our army! Remember to always give in to whatever ridiculous demands they want. Alternatively, they've just joined the army and you're trying to make a good first impression.

1 × Shopping. It's your duty to make sure the army stays supplied some how so make sure you pick the best weapons and sell what you need to get the funds. Wait, no! You can't sell that! It has sentimental value!

2 × Watch duty. Morning, day, evening, and night; someone has to keep a look out around camp! You wouldn't want any brigands or monsters to sneak into camp and cause trouble.

3 × Training. Wake up, wake up, rise and shine, daisies. Lesson one: A soldier must have discipline and what better way to prove that than by waking up before sunrise for some intense exercise?

4 × Healing tent. You used to be a great soldier until you took an arrow to the knee. Injuries are bound to happen on the battle field so you might as well get used to finding the healing tent now.

5 × Benched. You haven't been benched! You're just… holding down the fort while everyone else goes off to fight.

6 × Romance. Is now really the time for a confession? Did you even realize you were in love? Chat it up and get those A/S supports going.

7 × Restoration. The war is over and as much as you want to relax, there's still a lot of work that needs to be done.

8. × Desert level. The sun is blazing, the sand is hot, it's hard to get around, and did you just trip on some buried treasure or run into a mirage village's wall?

9× RNG. Shenanigans.

( come at him tragic orphans. )

[This is not a tragic orphan.

But through some strange time shenanigans, here's Canas bumbling right into your desert level. He's got a book open. He doesn't seem to notice that it's a desert level and that there are armies around.

... ... ... ]

Goodness, that is curious.

[ok canas]

( Yeah, and some where a ways back, there are some cavaliers trying to get at Canas. Are they friend or are they foe? Either way, there's no way they'll ever be able to catch up with him (or Hugh) as long as the desert is filled with sand and the forests filled with trees.

The same can't be said for the wyverns flying though. Damn, what's up with this guy? Is he deaf? Blind? Or just a fool to be wandering around the battlefield without a care in the world like that. )

Stop! ( Hugh yells, just before he casts a bolting spell to snipe a wyvern and rider coming at Canas from behind.

Well, it looks like that was 3000g well spent and it gives him plenty of time to catch up. ) ... Are you reading?!

( SERIOUSLY? )

[Oh.

It's impossible to miss the bolting spell, really, and he looks up from his book at that, at least. The wyvern is struck down, but there's its partner, and Canas really doesn't have to think to sweep out a Flux tome, raising a hand.

The wyvern and its rider are engulfed in blackness, and are taken out quite handily. And with that, Canas shuts his tome with a snap, adjusting his monocle. And then he looks at the other.]

Ah, you are--

[DOES HE RECOGNIZE-- okay no]

An anima mage? Thank you for your assistance. It was quite timely indeed.

( Is this guy for real. Hugh raises an incredulous brow but he's glad this guy isn't hurt, really. He's not much of a healer and he'd hate to ask one to leave the medic tent to come to the front lines. )

That's all you can say? ( But he straightens his posture some. Yes, he's the most dignified anima mage from a well renowned family of talented

dark mages. Look, it's kind of a weird topic. ) Yeah... yeah, I am and that's going to cost you 600 gold.

[He's for real indeed. But oh.... money.

He blinks for a moment.]

Ah... is that so? Of course, of course, one moment--

[FUMBLING. fumbling with those two books (his book and his tome) and trying to get gold off of him from one of his pockets and augh fumbling nope he's too clumsy for this

Books tumbling everywhere. Canas looks so distraught.]

Oh dear...

( That went easier than he expected. Hugh waits patiently to receive his payment

very (is that another book?)

very (how many books does he have?)

patiently (is this guy a walking library?!)

He's trying to be a tough guy but as the books start hitting the floor, he's already kneeling down to pick them up. Gee, guy, take better care of your books. Now they're all covered in sand and he's trying to dust and shake them off when one catch his eye. )

I know this book... ( He's pretty sure he's seen the same title in his grandmother's study. She'd whacked him with her hand when he tried to peek at it when he was younger. "Don't touch that!" She yelled before going on about how old, valuable, and difficult it was for a kid like him to worry with. Of course, that didn't stop him from going through it when she went out. Hugh would say this book looked newer than his grandmother's but to be honest, it was still probably as old as she was so he'll just say it looks "less old." ) What're you thinking bringing rare books like this in a battle?

( Actually: )

What are you doing reading out here?!

[He is in fact a walking library thank you for noticing-- That is.

Look, it was supposed to be peaceful!! They weren't going into a ridiculous battle. He's sure of that. They were definitely not in the desert. He's also sure of that. But the books are more important, so he's just going to crouch to pick up the books as well, though he pauses at that.

... A blink.]

You know that text? But that is--

[impossible. It's the only one of its kind. That he borrowed it from his mother is only natural, for she's never truly minded his studies (encouraged them, more like). Except then he's interrupted by that shout.]

Ah, yes, that. You see...this is not where I am supposed to be. I suppose that strange aberration did, in fact, have some temporal and spacial anomalies... I had suspected there would be differences that would come of touching it, but for it to have transported me to a battlefield of an undefinable distance away from my original position--

[Canas, don't touch random glowing portals.]

This truly is an exciting discovery!

( But if it's the only one of it's kind, how do you have it? Unless you robbed his grandmother in which case, you're an awful person and he really should have let that rider finish you off but he won't say that out loud. )

What? ( The problem isn't that Hugh doesn't understand. On the contrary, he understands perfectly well. It sounds almost like he's talking about warp or rescue staves for a moment. Hell, it even sounds like teleportation which some powerful mages have been shown to have mastery over in the past. The concept certainly sounds the same but neither is activated by simply touching, staff or no staff at all. ) You warped yourself out here on accident?

( He isn't sure if he should be impressed or judgmental. )

Yeah, that's real exciting but the fact is, we're in the middle of a battle. We can talk more about it when this is all over. You use ancient magic, don't you? ( He saw that flux tome and noticed a trend with some of those books earlier. ) We can fight together or if you need a handsome mage bodyguard, I'm your guy.

( For a price, of course. )

[He is indeed the sort to rob old ladies. This is him being a Bad Boy-- okay no. What's more impressive is that this young man understood. He's all too used to receiving blank looks from the others in Eliwood's army when he went off on tangents, but no, this young man understood and condensed. It's...rather impressive actually. He blinks.]

That is correct on all accounts.

[Yes, he warped himself here by accident. Yes, he uses ancient magic (and this young man didn't refer to it by the judgemental "dark magic" term that's tossed around by everyone, it seems. More and more, he's impressed).]

I shall fight alongside you, then. After all, you have been more than helpful, and I do owe you for that.

[He tucks the other books away and dusts off his Flux tome once more before nodding to Hugh. LET'S WRECK SHIT, desert maps, mages and druids, yeahhhhhh]

( Recruitment accomplished, supports are now available.

Dark magic, ancient magic. Same thing and he doesn't get it. Don't be too impressed just yet. )

Heh, you do owe me. ( Just a reminder. ) All right, let's see what you can do.

( Lets solo this map because have you seen Canas fight? Yeaaaaah, man! Hugh can barely keep up. It's hard to believe such a reckless guy could be such a tank on the battlefield. It kind of makes him wonder if he could do the same if he'd had the talent. )

( Fast forward to the end of the battle and they're both at the far edge of the ~~map~~ battle field. Don't mind Hugh fanning himself with what's left of that bolting tome he'd mentally been whining about about.

D r a m a t i c s i g h. )

What are the chances of you warping us back to camp? ( Otherwise, start talking about this spell you set off. )

[The map has been solo'd. It's sort of just a thing. Canas hardly even seems to notice Hugh working hard to keep up. Mostly because he really, really is that oblivious.

But once they've finally taken care of that desert level (phew), Canas is just going to. Settle for adjusting his monocle, looking thoughtful as he pages through his Flux tome. RUNNING LOW ON PAGES THERE too many mooks.]

Pardon?

[oh. warping. right.]

...The chances that I could recreate the circumstances that brought me here are...slim to none. [ahahahaha ha.. ha.... ]

My apologies... I could not guarantee that we would end up in any particular place regardless, as I am still rather uncertain as to how far from home I myself am.

[it is so much safer to walk.]

( He was joking but when you say it like that, he feels kind of sorry for him. )

Heh, you'll figure it out. ( Encouraging! ) If you can't, you can work something out with the commander. He's just a kid but at least he's a good one.

Where are you from? If it's not too far, we can probably drop you off.

[feeling sorry for your father...truly this is a new low in canas' life.

but Canas just looks thoughtful at that. Now that he thinks about it........didn't they resolve that war thing??? why is there a commander.]

Is that so... Who is your commander?

[... oh right.]

I was in Ilia myself. It is clear I've traveled quite some ways from climate alone, of course. Is this the Nabata Desert?

[ my icons are all gone i am sorry ]
