Cloaked Mystery

@rae

I think they’ve got this… sort of, although I would think Nora would probably get involved if it’s escalated to the level of brandishing guns.

Kate

Oops, thought Kate. It seemed she had just made things worse.

Kate pulled on the Arclash, throwing Nahim off balance so he couldn’t shoot anyone. Ellis ran in and grabbed Nahim’s free hand, trying to wrestle the gun away.

“That wasn’t an option,” said Ellis. “Someone. Get me. A rope! Now!”

———

Kate

Nobody seemed to be getting a rope. Kate sighed, reaching for a gemstone at her belt. She crushed it. A glowing red string emerged, expanding. An Arclash. Practically unbreakable, and if it was broken, it would explode. It would, however, eventually…[Read more]

“You’ll do it now,” said Ellis. “Where’s that rope!”

———–

I’ve got to go, but I might be back on in a half hour or so.

Ellis

Ellis did a facepalm.

“Nahim, you are going to rest and that is final. You just get to decide to do it voluntarily…or not.”

Ellis

“Nahim, you are making no sense.”

Ellis

Ellis sighed in exasperation.

“You drew your sword first. You can still put it away.”

Ellis

Ellis scratched his head, confused.

“You literally just drew your sword.”

Ellis

That was far enough. Ellis drew his own sword, which burned green.

“Nahim, put. The sword. Away. This is for your own good.”

Note on dialogue grammar:

“Probably.” Zahlin said, drawing the blade. “Nahim, put that sword down now. I’m not asking twice.”

You want a comma after ‘probably’: “Probably,” Zahlin said…

The ‘probably’ is connected to ‘Zahlin said.’ You do want a period after ‘Zahlin said, drawing the blade.’ like you put. Just a habit y…[Read more]

Ellis

“That doesn’t seem like a very good life approach. Is that why you’ve almost died so many times?”

Ellis

“No!” snapped Ellis. “It’s ridiculous that you want to fight over this!”

Ellis

Nahim’s hand went to his sword.

“Nahim, this is ridiculous!” shouted Ellis.

Ellis

Ellis sighed. “Someone, get a rope!”

@rae

Here we go again…

Anyone else want to get involved here?

@rae

Sure, I guess, lol. So we’re ignoring the last two RPs?

@rae

Well, I’m sure that if everyone worked together, they could find some way to hold him.

Ellis

Ellis stood there stunned, as Nahim left. Wow, that was easier than I thought it would be.

@highscribeofaetherium

What do you mean? Rope is easy to get.

Ellis

Ellis sighed in exasperation. “You can’t keep ignoring your problems, Nahim. All of us know that you should be resting. You know it. So, you will take a break or else we’re going to have to take extreme measures. If you refuse, I’ll tell Fennin to relieve you of all duties: no more forging, and no training. And if you’re still being stubbor…[Read more]
