Welcome to Gaia! ::

Asuna dropped off another bit of Fear, this time looking the least bit burnt or broken. Thankfully.

[War Commons]

Liya's tongue felt a little too dry for her to talk after her job at Adelaide's.

And with that all power was restored on the War Common Floors-

To reveal that this entire time Allen was still making crystal fragment friendship bracelets, a whole bunch of them sorted into a box. He spotted the actually helpful handful from his workspace and gave them a wide smile.

He probably thought making the bracelets was the reason for things being fixed or something.

"I like the sound of that!" Darkjay said with a laugh. "They need to know who is the strongest clan!" He was always up for harvesting more FEAR too, just to rub it in everyone else's faces.

"Of course" He spoke as everything was returned to normal, revealing their leader making...friendship brackets. With the crystals.

Just....why.

"Are you serious?!" He spoke to both of them, seriously considering smacking the back of his head but holding back because he knew just how strong this guy was. Although maybe he should fight him anyway, try and overthrown Allen. Might be fun...

Instead he just sighed, pinching the bride of his nose and asked, "...Are there extras?"

Down on the War floor the lights were back on again. This wasn't too much of a surprise to Rep. They hadn't even really needed him and that was pretty par for the course if he was honest with himself. He'd always felt a bit outside it all, extraneous, surplus to requirements. He showed up to fights, he went out to do what he was told when he was actually told to do it but he felt like he'd fallen far out of favour. More and more these days people just didn't need a traditional horseman, they wanted one who was going to bring war into the modern world, who was forward thinking and clever.

He didn't let them know about his interest in tech, they'd mistake it for someone who was capable of the sort of boring programming that some of them got up to or the presentations which won them victories in the board room. He was bored and they didn't need him. Both of these things together equated to a very sorry state of affairs, one where he found himself sometimes wondering if anyone had ever left their clan for another one or - most taboo of all - if they'd ever left the clans entirely. Would they even let you live if you did that?

Picking up another crystal, he hung it on his wrist, just in case the power went out all over again. He didn't really feel like using it though, he was in a mood for self-introspection and self-pity rather than, you know, actually doing any work at all.

[ Training Course ]

It had been some time since Cor could get away and enjoy the war floor. It had been where he was born and raised and sometimes he felt guilt over leaving. It was for good reason he left though, so the feeling was fleeting and dulled to completely acceptable by visits to his old stomping grounds.

Today was such a day as he had to make sure everything was in working order. He'd been distracted and unable to help restore everything while he could so the best he could do now was just to enjoy that it was okay and make sure it had remained that way.

What better way to accomplish that than to roam the training course and make sure the traps were in working order? There wasn't a better way. That's all.

He began down the course, remembering some of the first few traps like the back of his hand as he'd encountered them enough times to have learned, but past a certain point he had to use his learned skills to keep moving forward. Noting disturbed dirt helped to avoid most of them, but several were more clever and attacked from the sides. He tried to dodge these but still earned a few hits in the process. He made it quite far, in fact, before suddenly mistaking a rope trap for a pit trap and jumping - only to be netted and swept high in the air anyway. There he hung until eventually someone got further than him and cut him loose. Or the person who set the trap took pity and eventually let him go.

All in all, a great day!
