Daeriin’s Comments (group member since Aug 13, 2013)

Daeriin’s comments from the The Labyrinth (Advanced RP, Inviting Members) group.

Accepted, but write something about her personality too. :)

"The mrrr-fish-maids..." Dae smiled crookedly. "No, not today, I suppose."
"Sure, you can trust me." He nodded. "The most logical way would be to find the stream and head alongside of it. We might get into some trouble with the elves..." His thought trailed of for a moment. "But it's all better than the lagoon." He finished enthusiastically with a wide grin.

So, Dae in the Forest just hinted that there officially are possibilities of following new locations on the island:

*Within the Dark Forest (generally North, but also North-West/North-East until we figure out the entire space the Forest occupies):
- several elven villages
- the Sacred Tree of Gaia of the dryads
- the mermaid lagoon
- several huntsman cabins

*Central lands ('it's bigger on the inside' too, just like the Labyrinth):
- a human kingdom in ruins (castle and several villages)
- shrines of the Lost Gods

*Landmarks
- a 'that pile of rocks in the middle' mountain
- a 'mid-sized stream' river running from the mountain, along one side of the meadows, through the forest (past the elven villages - at least one of them) into the sea/ocean

If any of these locations need to be opened, let me know.

"Let me see... Where would you like to go?" Dae pondered.
"If we take the hint and continue North, we might end up in the spot, where the forest meets the sea, there's this small lagoon with mermaids. Nice and cute little fish... erm, ladies in general, all fairy-tale style, but they're particularly not so fond of female and way too fond of male travelers, for my personal liking. I hope you never see them grin, they have several rows of these pretty sharp teeth they use to..." The man flinched uncomfortably remembering his last meeting with the fish-creatures who tended to seduce every man foolishly wandering into their domain. To feast on them later.
"Then there is a..." Dae tried to pick a correct word. "...Tribe of this folk - you'd probably call them elves - in the Dark Forest. Not your noble material of legends, but quite an interesting and proud race nonetheless. They have several villages in the woods. Mainly hunters. You can strike good deals with them, if you're familiar with their ways. There was once a human kingdom further into the inner lands of the island... Well, not much of a kingdom, just a castle and several villages around it. All gone now, by the way. They've traded with these elves, floating goods up and down a river... Well, a mid-sized stream running..." He tried to figure out the direction and then pointed with his hand. "Somewhere over there from that pile of rocks one could call a mountain in the middle of the island, alongside the meadows and through the forest right into the sea."
"Then there are what you'd call dryads here. They live in this huge tree they call the Sacred Tree of Gaia. It's shielded by some kind of forces, so you'll never find it if you need to, but will end up right in front of it in the worst moment possible. Go figure..." He shrugged. "There are several hunter's cabins somewhere in the woods too. And plenty more of other creatures, I probably won't find correct analogies to describe them."
Dae sighed. That was a lot of text for him all at once.

"Then can I suggest we 'wander' somewhere together?" Dae made a wide gesture hinting at the space around them, but nowhere in particular. "It's more fun and safer so."

"So, where were you heading to earlier?" He enquired with interest. "I hope I didn't stop you from doing something..."

"Ah, that's a relief." Dae smiled joyfully and then ran a hand over his face healing all the remaining scratches he got earlier with magic. His bad mood started to evaporate too. "And do let me know if you need anything, I simply can't afford to let people starve on this damn island."

"Well, still the same queen we're talking about." He shrugged with a smile. "All the rest is just some fluffy lovey-dovey stuff about teenage girls getting through puberty..."
"And don't tell me I'm still a stranger to you, deary..." He displayed an utterly pained look in all his features. "Hearing that really hurts." Dae added in a whisper.

Thank you. Very pleased to hear that. :)

Well, it is at my place. :)

Mornin' :)

Hello and welcome, Michelle!

"Ah, yes..." He frowned remembering. "That Evil Queen has been bugging the Crimson Witch by calling her regularly with her magic-mirror-communicator-thingie. The lady wanted something from the Labyrinth's vault, a potion to enhance her powers, I believe. The Witch.... Well, she told her to go fu... ghm, cough... to a land far far away."
"And you should've told me you're hungry. Is there anything I could offer you?"

"It would be better you actually enjoyed it at least a little..." He winced again.
With a snap of the man's fingers the trees around them changed back to their original form, but at a better glance one could still notice, that there were apples now growing among the rich green needles of fir trees.

"Suppose, that would look better?" He made a gesture and all the trees and shrubbery in a radius of mile around them suddenly changed shaped, became grimly crooked, stretching their branches that now looked like claws towards them. "I can make them look like geometric figures or anything your heart desires, too." He shrugged with a devilish look in his eyes. "Though I believe the local inhabitants wouldn't like me doing that... And I do not advise taking the hint and going North. But it's just a thought, I wouldn't dare to rob you of joy exploring this place."

"So, enjoying your time at the Forest?" He grinned in an unpleasant way.

"Yes. I've seen that. Two of them are in the Labyrinth now." Dae ran his fingers through his hair just to shake more twigs and leaves out. He was sure he looked awful now. "Thanks."

"Easy, girl. It's me." The man showed his bruised self on the path and raised a hand in a calming gesture.
Basically, there was no use being mean to the girl as she did not control the magical layers of the island. But Dae's good mood was ruined for the day, so he stared gloomily ahead of him.

After Dae quickly covered the space separating them he came to an abrupt halt when he heard the sound of branches snapping. The timing of him stopping was perfect as he was still invisible to Anne, who was making a lot of ruckus moving along the path.
"Aha!" He muttered, rubbed his scratched right cheek and winced.

Dae studied the magical levels to understand why the accident occurred - and even an idiot would understand right away that branches do not spank passerby on their own - and noticed that the girl, Anne, was still in the forest not so far away from him. As well as he concluded that it was her dissatisfaction with the island that caused him a few unpleasant moments.
So Dae listened to the 'noise' around him to figure out the direction and set out in an agile pace towards the girl, quite grumpy in mood.
