The Angel Princess (Open)

[Alicia Valka]

Alicia looked around her. This place was called... Palmacosta, that was it. Such a lively town. She still was having trouble adjusting to everything. She had been taken from Tethe'alla to a city at the top of the Tower of Salvation, which was in two worlds at once, been put under constant painfiul experiments for who knows how many years and then she had ended up in another world.

When she actually tried to process all this information, she felt like she was going to lose it. It didn't help that there was more information coming constantly, between the natural business of this place... And the little kid shouting "Look mommy, it's an angel!" and everyone staring at her. Alicia sighed. She shouldn't have come out in public...

Where was she supposed to go anyway really though? She wasn't in her own world anymore, even if she was, she'd have no home... It wasn't like she had much direction. She didn't know where she was supposed to look for that demonic witch who had imprisoned her before, and somewhat doubted her ability to do anything even if a fight did commence...

[Angie Cherish]

Objective

A femal Angel is running amock in Palmacosta. Some disturbances has happen, and priests of the Church of Martel have become interested in the rumors. Having a confused Cruxis Angel reside on the surface is dangerous, for the Angel and the people of Palmacosta. It is unknown if the Angel has her soul sealed or not. Collect the Angel and bring her back to the base in Triet. You are under no circumstance to injure her. You'll only cause her to attack you, and/or injure any civilians around. Approaching friendly is the best thing to do.

Angie folds the piece of paper once more, putting it away in her pack. Her legs dangle off of the roof, her icy blue eyes search the dense croud for any female that looks like or has the outfit of a Cruxis Angel. Finding no Cruxis Angel in that vacinity, she slowly stands up and races off the roof top to another. Appearing as a black blur to any on lookers.

Stopping after a few roof jumps, she leans over the building to catch the sight of white wings dissapearing behind a building. Smiling to herlself, she bounds off to another roof top and scales down the roof. Stopping herself at remembering that she needs to seem friendly and not hostile.

Gnome this is bothersome.

Taking a deep breathe, she straightens her summer white dress. To appear friendly, she had to wear a stupid dress. which is something she doesn't do very often. Growling under breath, she places a warm smile on her face and walks around the corner.

"Oh... Hello!" Angie says with innocent suprise. "I didn't think I would find anyone here."[/blockquote][/size][/font]

[Estressa Malia]

Estressa was actually getting annoyed. That little blue-haired pest Yuan actually was a difficult opponent. Well, not that she'd actually fought him. She had decided, for now, that messing with higher ranking members of Cruxis directly was a bad idea.

She looked back... It looked like he was gone. She laughed triumphantly. She then looked around... It seemed like something was happening. And it didn't involve her. Well, she would have to fix that. She sprouted her black wings, and then flew over right above where the activity seemed to be centered upon. There, she found...

"Ah, Alicia." Estressa said casually, "What a surprise to see you here." She waited for the girl's reaction. Well, and that of everyone else around to see a black-winged angel flying in the air. Oh, this was going to be so very much fun, she could feel it.

[|Yuan|~.:Ka-Fai:.]

Yuan gently folds his transparent blue wings back, his arms crossed with a device held in his hand. His turquoise eyes search around the city of Palmacosta, his thin lips set into a frown. Estressa, one of Cruxis's Scientists is in a city full of ignorant people. Ignorant of the silent war being raged on, of the dangers that lurch in their very own city.

Yuan calmly holds up the device in his hand, the technology showing the map of the city and a red spot centered near to the left side of Palmacosta. Trailing his eyes from the device, her silently searches for the area as to which Estressa is.

"The woman thinks she got away," Yuan says to himself with a snort. During their little skirmish, he was able to place a tracker on her. Finding the area as to were she is, he unfurls his wings once more and jumps off from his high vantage point. Falling from the tallest building in Palmocosta, he catches a draft in the wind and glides towards the nearest roof top.

Knowing of certain two other Angels in the vicinity, he catches the sight of Angie and the other angel. Not wanting to have any disturbances by Estressa, he lightly lands on the building root top near the street and folds his arms. His wings billowing out, his plan of getting rid of the people around the vicinity sprouting as some simple truth.

"Estressa Malia," He booms with authority. "Your escape is inevitable. Turn yourself into Cruxis, and receive your punishment."

[Alicia Valka]

Alicia looked over at the girl who had just approached. "Of course you didn't expect to find anyone here. I'm wondering why you're here myself. I came back here so people wouldn't see me and..." She trailed off, her hand nearly flying to her face. Not like she would have finished anyway, before she heard that dreaded voice.

"Ah Alicia. What a surprise to see you here." said the voice of that witch Alicia wished she could just forget... She didn't answer, just prepared to run. Suddenly, she heard another voice booming "Estressa Malia, you escape is inevitable. Turn yourself into Cruxis, and receive your punishment." If Alicia hadn't been scared for her life, she would definitely have facepalmed. She could hardly take someone who misphrased something that badly seriously...

She decided that it might be a good idea to just fly off while the two angels were distracted. After all, it wasn't like she could stay, there was no doubt in her mind that she would be outmatched by either of those two. She saw a pier nearby, overlooking the water, and ran towards it. Her wings were outstretched as she prepared to take flight...

[Angie Cherish]

Angie walks towards Alicia with a smile still on her face.

"That's okay." She giggles. "I just happen to be looking for someone."

She stands there with her a hand on her hip, her white shoes tapping in impatience. She would prefer to just knock her out and drag her all the way to Triet, but there is no guarantee that she'll stay knocked out for the remainder of time getting there. Not that she has wings to do so, but driving a Rehaird while holding someone can be very difficult as well.

She stops in her place as she looks up at Estressa with wide eyes, before she shakes her head and looks quickly at Alicia to find a shocked expression on her face. Angie grinds her teeth as she tenses, seeing Alicia wanting to make a break for it.

"Estressa Malia, you escape is inevitable. Turn yourself into Cruxis, and receive your punishment."

Angie just stands there sweat dropping at her Lord's choice of words. Not that she's any better, but really from him. He must have been hit in the head or something. Shaking the many remarks that she can make, she freaks out as Alicia zooms for the dock. She quickly runs forward, a few inches behind Alicia before she jumps over the Angel twirling in the air as she lands in front of Alicia with her arms stretched out.

"Hold it, I can help you!" Angie hollers.

[Estressa Malia]

Estressa glanced at Yuan distastefully the moment he appeared. "Must you always come and ruin my fun? I should probably find and remove that tracking device you must have planted later..." Of course, then he made his speech. "Yes, you're right." she said chuckling, "My escape is inevitable." With that, she took off after Alicia, who had just started running away..

It was a bit of a surprise when the other girl jumped in front of Alicia, but it didn't stop Estressa. As she flew by, she grabbed the little angel "Alicia, you're not getting away that easily... I AM!" she threw Alicia back at Yuan like she was a rag doll, and continued flying off. She looked at her reflection in the water as she flew over it, and saw the tracking device Yuan must have planted. She brushed it off without skipping a beat or slowing down, and continued flying away.

[|Yuan|~.:Ka-Fai:.]

Yuan sighs to himself, depressed at how his level of grammar has decreased from the hit to the head. Brushing away what has been done, he watches as the young angel makes a break for it only to have Angie intercept her.

He shakes his head but decides to berate the woman later. He did say not to do anything that might set her off, but whatever.

"hmph," Is all he says to Etressa's earlier comment, before getting into a battle stance as Estressa makes her way towards Alicia.

"Not so fast, Estressa," He growls as he sees the angel being flung at him as he jumps forward only to fly back and slide on his back at the force. Groaning at the slight burn from the slide, he roughly pushes Alicia off of him and gets up to see Estressa fly away. Becoming nothing more than a black dot in the sky before disappearing.

Cursing to himself; he folds his wings knowing that flying after would be a waste of time. Crossing his arms he closes his eyes for a second before turning towards Alicia with a frown on his face.

"Problematic," He silently says with a shake of his head before kneeling down to check the girl's health.

[Alicia Valka]

Alicia was startled when the girl jumped in front of her, saying that she could help. Alicia started to respond "How exactly can you help m-EAAAAGGGHHH!!!!" She felt herself being lifted into the air. She heard Estressa taunting her, and then felt herself land on the other angel who had been pursuing.

Alicia groaned as she felt herself being flung off of him. She laid there for a moment, dazed. She then opened her eyes again, to see the man looking down at her. Saying something about "Problematic." Alicia tried to come up with a sharp retort, but decided not to bother. She didn't feel like doing much of anything. She did say back to him, "No, my name is Alicia, not 'Problematic' thank you very much." She picked herself off the ground and brushed herself off.

She said "I'd very much like to know just what's going on. Here's what I know so far: I was kidnapped by Estressa and put through an eternity of pain by her. I wake up with white wings, see a sword nearby and escape the so-called 'Tower of Salvation' and find myself in a new world." She paused to take a breath, "And then I end up wandering into town and being found by Estressa again, as well as another 'angel' and some other girl who also seems to know what's going on."

Alicia gazed straight into the man's eyes. "So, do you plan on telling me, or are you planning on sending me back to that tower again?"

[Angie Cherish]

Angie takes a quick step back, almost losing her balance and falling backwards but didn't thankfully. Watching her Lord get 'mauled' by the younger angel, Angie turns around to look towards Estressa and her retreating form.

"Stupid old lady!" Angie hollers at Estressa. Not so happy that she threw her principal right towards her Lord. Turning around with a stomp, she runs towards the building and up the wall to get to the roof.

"Problematic,"

"No, my name is Alicia, not 'Problematic' thank you very much."

Angie only snorts as she stands next to Yuan, looking at Alicia with an innocent curious look.

"No smart one, he was referring to your existence." Angie says coolly. Her face giving a serene look to it. Angie looks over towards Yuan with a serious look.

"Returning her to the Welgaia might be the best option." She says in Angelic with her eyes slowly trailing over towards Alicia, a small idea popping into her head. "Unless...she could be of use."

Having angels on the Renegade's side can be helpful, but then they can also be dangerous. Especially when the Angels are mentally unstable or soulless. Then they tend to be nothing more than a hazard on the surface. Now that Angie starts to think, who is that old hag that flew away?

Estressa Malia...now why are you so important. Hmmm.. I'll have to ask Lord Yuan sometime... Alicia and Estressa have a connection, one I'm going to find out.

Angie never leaves her eyes off of Alicia; her attention fully on Alicia so she can apprehend her when she decides to 'run for it'. Hearing the woman's question, she stands there and waits for any orders. Welgaia, Renegades, or... kill. Either of the three works for her, though she's more for the last one than the others.

Comments: Well here is the long awaited post from... ME~! I used green as a color of Alicia because... I didn't want her sentence to look bare when compared to mine. x3 GOMENASIA!!

[Alicia Valka]

"No smart one, he was referring to your existence." Alicia heard the other girl say. Alicia's hand flew to her face. She said to the other girl in a slightly exasperated tone, "Thank you for that keen observation, but that was sarcasm. Or did you notice that too and I failed to keep up with your so obviously infinitely supreme intelligence."

She then continued with a slight edge, "Maybe after being locked up and tortured for a thousand years or whatever, my brain has stopped working?" She finished, muttering, "I hate that witch Estressa... Why did she pick me to experiment on?" She was obviously still quite unhappy. She almost wondered how she was still sane... Then again, she had found herself in an entirely different world from what she knew. Perhaps she wasn't sane after all?

She then noticed the other girl staring at her. Alicia stared back. Not threateningly, but still in a way that showed she wasn't to be messed with.

[Yomi]

Yuan raises a blue eye brow at the two women, conflict already sparking between the two. Angie isn't the kind of person who gets along easily, from what he can tell. From what he can tell of the other woman, Alicia, she's obviously having a small break down with her 'wings' and 'angels' problem, and seeing Estressa has seem to make things even worse.

He sighs as he unintentionlly puts his hand to his face and chuckles softly. Seeing Kratos doing that many times has start to make the Renegade leader do the same.

"Returning her to the Welgaia might be the best option."

"Yes, perhaps," Yuan says thoughtfully in Angelic. His jade eyes looking at Alicia, as if caculating her assests and liabilities to him. Returning her would bump back up into a more 'favorible' position with Mithos, but then again. The woman has her humanity, as much of it, and it would be a sad sight having to see her go through the process of sealing her soul. To see another blank face walking the streets of Welgaia. It sent a shiver up his spine of just thinking it. That's why he prefers working on the surface if at all possible. Those clean, white empty halls could give a man nightmares for the rest of his life; though it's lucky that he can't sleep then. But even closing his eyes can make the painful memories surface like a movie.

"Perhaps, she could be," Yuan says quitly in Angelic again to Anige's later thought. Which is suprising since Angie seems to have a certain distast for the woman, but perhaps she's warming up to her.

That idea of course plumits down into a toilet once the 'staring' match begins.

"Now, now children." Yuan scolds lightly, his face giving the look of unhappiness. Then when is he ever happy, life tends to suck the happiness out of you after 4, 000 years or so. "To answer your question Alicia. You'll just have to wait a while, it's a very long story."

About 4,000 years worth of information. Yeah, Angie is definetly going to pretend on falling asleep on him to express her boredom with him. Oh well, to bad he coulnd't of left her to die. Life sucks.

Comments: Dx I'm so sorry.. I'm not usually this bad on updating, but Summer school was sucking me dry. o.o comminity kindness is hard on ya.

[Alicia Valka]

The blue-haired man said she'd have to wait. Alicia broke her gaze away from the other girl's, seeming almost dismissive somehow, and made eye contact with the man now. "Very well." She then pointed out something she probably should have earlier, "Oh, and just because I can't understand your 'private conversations' or whatever they actually are, doesn't mean I can't hear them at all."

Alicia didn't actually narrow her eyes, but she looked like she was about to. It was kind of strange really. She still was rather confident. She wasn't challenging anyone at the moment, but her confidence still seemed slightly intense, rather than laid back. She continued speaking, in a tone that was joking, but almost seemed to have some sort of edge. "Some people might think you were planning something behind my back. After all, you're not going to be chatting about flavors of tea when a psychotic fugitive has just escaped, and one of her 'experiments' is right in front of you, are you?"

She then finished, "Not like it matters though, I don't know what you're saying, and I don't have anywhere to go anyway. So, where to next? Unless you plan on just letting me wander around..." Even as she said that last part, she definitely sounded like she thought that was rather unlikely. She was hardly stupid after all.

[Angie Cherish]

A small smirk places it's self onto Angie's face, as if she had 'won' the staring contest. Which there never was, but Angie's that competitive sometimes. Though she was surprised that her Lord is actually considering the woman an asset. Can Alicia fight or is the sword for looks? Would Alicia consider a position in the Renegades after hearing the explanation, or would she consider them all crazy and attempt at flying away. Which mind you is like a thorn in Angie's side since she doesn't even have her wings yet.

"And what makes you think we didn't want you to hear us?" Angie says coolly, but with a hidden edge to it. One thing Angie does not appreciate, is being talked bad about. The woman should be thankful that they got to her instead of the psychotic hag from hell. Killing the woman is one thing that she will not hesitate in doing so. Though she knows full well that the angel is to be kept alive, by the way Yuan looked at her.

To make a joke back Angie turns towards Yuan and smiles pleasingly.

"And I think Jade tea will be fine for the gathering," She says happily. A smirk hidden behind her happy smile.

I give. I say we turn her into Cruxis. I'm all for the hoe to be desouled.

"....So, where to next? Unless you plan on just letting me wander around..."

"Cruxis," She says with the happy perk still about her. Which isn't her decision but still, it wouldn't hurt to scare the woman. Just a winsy bit.

How about a perky attitude like it's best thing in the world. That's a tone to sell it.

"There you will have your soul sealed. Forever to walk the halls of Welgaia, full of white, gold, and light blue. A dark dreary area, full of soulless angels just like you. Doing the same thing over, and over again. Nothing new, nothing more." She exclaims happily with a smile. "Or would you prefer the Renegades. Risking your life every day, to live in the hot searing base of Triet to the freezing cold wonderland of Flanoir. With the added twist of, if you get captured. You will be tortured until the enemy extracts data from you."

"With either the usual 'turn you into a monster that does nothing but kill things in it's sight'" She says with an excited glee, giving a wink at the monster part.

"Or my favorite. Send you to the torture chamber. Which has a part where they pull you limb from limb, boil you body from waist down in searing hot oil, pulling your nails and cutting you tongue, to...." she cuts off with a dramatic pause before clapping her hands excitedly. "Slowly cutting you until you bleed to death."

"But don't worry." She says with a fake sympathy, before brightening up once more. "There is a lot more, I'm sure of it."

Alicia sure did have to pull her strings the wrong way. Though that's how she deals with things, with a fake smile and happy personality. It's only when you get her dead serious that you have to look out. She is a thief after all.

Comments: x3 tee hee. sorry if it seems gruesome, I tried keeping it low with not so many details but... if Alicia keeps it up. there will be details... x3 I luff this RP.

[Alicia Valka]

Alicia ignored the other girl at first. Until she started a happy explanation of Cruxis. Alicia gave her a somewhat terrifying look. She was smiling sweetly. Too sweetly, and with something else clearly behind it. Though she was smiling, her eyes were giving a glare as sharp and cold as an icicle through the heart, as she said in a sweet voice back, "Yes, try and take me there. See how far you get."

Her hand by her sword twitched somewhat menacingly. Alicia kept the very cold smile on her face through the whole explanation of anything else. Alicia noticed that the other girl had her own little happy demeanor through the entire gruesome speech. Once it was done, Alicia asked in a voice you might describe as sweet but cold, "Are you done?"

She turned towards the blue haired man again, not waiting for any answer from the other girl. "Do the Renegades oppose Cruxis? I'm guessing from what little information I have, but if so, I would like to join them. From what she said Cruxis does, I will do everything in my power to oppose them."
