Empires of Ashes

Joachim: Ah....And why wouldn't your warriors be available?

"Say, a city is attacked while its warriors fight elsewhere"

Joachim: Fair enough. What port is nearest?

OOC just going to say it here:
what am I doing with my evenings? I'm practically sitting on my ass staring at a screen without touching a darn thing
...
well I found this one youtuber reacting to the parody of Hellsing Ultimate and I've kind of been bingeing on his videos now for the past... week almost? anyway now I've kind of destroyed my other desires watching him basically go nuts on camera as he played some games, anime games. god I love it when he loses his shit

Ooc. Well, lets see the tally for today... 
First off, someone ate all the sandwhich materials from the fridge overnight... Yay... Now i have to make another trip to the bakery for actual food other than simple rolls...

Second, i llost my 32 GB pen drive before we even embarked on the bus... I know i had it with me because i was watching anime on it just half an hour before i realised that its gone... Funny, since i kept it in a pocket thats inside my pocket... Thats gonna cost me like half of todays pay, i guess...

So we're coming home from work and i asked the bus driver to put me down on the side if the highway near my town at the gas station....
Yeah, well, its so foggy that we missed the gas station completely... Visibility is about 10 meters... Yay for an extra ~3 hour trip to and from the capital pointlessly...

We arrive to the DropZone with the bus. I judge that its pointless to try and catch my train at the usual station so i decide to go the other way and board another one where the rails terminate... Mighty fine plan, if i do say so myself.... Except that everything went slow as hell and i missed said train...

No worries, no worries... There should be a better one leaving in half an hour... Eeexcept that there isnt... Or any others for that matter... Theres no train traffic today and tomorrow at the end of the line... Yay... So now i have to go around to my usual station which i went *away* from all this time... This is my third reroute on this trip by now... 

And to top it off, i have been in the cold for about 3 hours at this point and even my bladder of steel was feeling the excess blood redirected to inner organs like the kidneys... So away goes about half a pound just to take a leak...

So now im sitting on another train, waiting for whatever miseries Fate has in store for me...
Ive spent or will have to spend most of todays earnings on expenses and spent a shitton of time on doing that... Yay me...

"Soel"

*at the canyon, the combined pressure of the assault has the slaves wavering, just one more push will surely rout the slaves... or the immortals will surround them completely and begin a complete slaughter*

The relentless assault and bombardment continues

Joachim: Know anything about the locals?

"Weary is the best word for em"

Joachim: To many raids?

"Aye. Lot of good people lost in raids here, be they dead or still alive"

Joachim: Why don't the daiymos fortify the coast?

"they do. kelthro especially are persistant with their raids, and constant"

Joachim: Ah...The slavers.....

he nods
"its getting late. We'll stop here for the night"

Joachim: Very well. *He orders his men to dismount and set up camp.*

later at the campfire
Mako:....so Erich...tell me of your clan

Erich: We Brigardi that live in the forests don't have clans like your people do, so there isn't much to tell. If you want to talk to a Brigardi who has a proper clan, you'd have to go to the Black Mountains.

"my clan is my family. that is what i meant, sorry"

Erich: Oh...Well, it's...family in Brigard is a bit more..loose I guess you could say. I mean, you have parents, children, siblings...but you have so many people that are "adopted" by other families because of lost kin that...it's a mess......

"oh..."

Erich: Yeah....A clan is at least organized. In Brigard, we just have...individual families. The closet we have to clans are the noble houses.

"I see...wow"

Erich: Ja.....

"I....cannot imagine that."

Erich: What? The idea of there being no clans?

"yes....my clan's history is known all the way back to the fall of stracia. As are most. Our ancestors' legends prove who we are today"

OOC: skip to when the fight is over?

OOC I feel so empty right now
"What to do?"
"I don't know"
"How about sleep?"
*1 yes/no later*
"What game then?"
"Wish I knew"
"YouTube then?"
"Yeah why not..."
And that's a summary of my day

OOC if u 2 wanna

Erich: At least you know your history.

"How could you not?"

Erich: Because most Brigardi are to concerned about surviving then knowing where their family line starts.

"I...."

Erich: I mean....It's hard to dedicate time to much else when you're spending most of the year gathering food and wood so that you don't freeze or starve to death when winter comes.

she's unsure how to respond

Erich: Erm...Sorry. I didn't mean to rant.

"no...its fine"

*He grows quiet and just stares at the fire.*

"I'm....sorry"

Erich: For what?

"bringing this up"

Erich: It's fine.

she sighs

Erich: Something wrong?

"I was not expecting that"

*He just raises an eyebrow.*

she stands

*He just watches her.*

she goes over to kenshin
