Alisa





WORDS: 510 | TAG: @Solo | CLOTHES



 Fortunately, it didn't look as if the spirit to whom Alisa had unknowingly fed her mana had anything to do with the danger it heralded. That knowledge brought her a certain measure of relief, however, she couldn't simply lay back and chill. At this time of the year, spirits issuing warnings of encroaching peril had a way of getting the living standing at attention, on the lookout for whatever might come at them. Not that the smart people wouldn't do so with or without warning, but alas, the added motivation was there anyways.

She needed sleep though... She had a long day, doing just about every mission she could pick off the request board and carrying them out in about as close to record time as a mage her level possibly could. Which was pretty damn fast mind you, but that only meant she'd need an extra time for sleeping, and even a complete knowledge that she could theoretically go look for the spirit again once the clock hit midnight didn't really do anything. In the end, a vain woman like Alisa couldn't go without her beauty sleep, for she knew fully well just how much sleepless nights could prove hazardous to her skin.

Though Alisa found it a fair bit harder to get some shut eye with all the spiritual warnings and signs of impending danger, she fell asleep eventually like the calm, cool beauty she was deep down. In the end, she fully understood she needed herself at full power to deal with whatever it was the mysterious ghost had warned her about, and also how she wouldn't really feel like leaving town until she had done so. For all her nature as an aloof wanderer, she still felt a certain measure of professional responsibility - of pride in doing something she could look back on as a job well done - and wouldn't abandon that feeling so easily.

But in the end, whatever she believed mattered little. While she was fully capable of falling asleep even with her mind preoccupied with such matters, external forces had completely different plans for her, and wouldn't really allow her said beauty sleep to begin with it. She couldn't even tell how long she had slept before she started getting wierd, almost prophetic dreams that didn't really stop until she woke up, sweaty and short for breath, and not even in the good way... She wiped all the sweat off her face and rose upright, looking around sleepily until she found the time. Three AM... It wouldn't do to be walking around at this time, but she'd felt this calling before, two separate times already. That spirit needed her once more, and she doubted it had any considerations for approprite times for sleeping. Being dead, it could just sleep whenever...

"Let's go, Lumen.", she asked, waking up her partner with a determined but smooth voice, putting on her work outfit, grooming her hair, then putting on her headband.

Alisa





WORDS: 1030 | TAG: @Solo | CLOTHES




Alisa defenitely didn't look her best this time, but for someone like her, a mere 50% was better than most people would ever come close to. Mind you, 50% was not really something she could feel satisfied by, but then again it was three AM. Not many people would be seeing her anyways...

She didn't really know who or what she was looking for when she stepped outside though, with nothing but the dim city lights and Lumen's own candle flame to guide her way... But even then she wasn't too surprised to find Inspector Nilan, who she'd debriefed the last time around. He too looked like how she imagined she might - possibly even worse - as if he'd just had a thoroughly rude, unpleasant awakening.

"Can't sleep either huh...? Figured as much...", he greeted; this guy actually looked like a genuine hard boiled detective, as opposed to Dex who just looked like one. He rested causually against the lamppost with a lit smoke in hand.

"Indeed. It appears we both have unfinished business.", nodded Alisa, a calm but resolute look in her eyes as she fully understood why she'd been awoken. If there were ever any doubts to begin with, they'd have been dispelled the moment she laid eyes on him...

He had a fair share of questions though... Understandable after everything that happened, not with Alisa's meager debrief to help him along. Now that they'd both been woken up at an inappropriate time for no reason other than to solve this case, she had all the time in the world to give him all the information he could ever need and then more. How the paranoid, hack detective Dex Miller initially hired her, to how she found a will 'o' wisp and got knocked flat on her ass by it, and then how she got aided by Dacol Lubex. The latter then lead her on another adventure where she met a new and improved version of the same spirit, and wound up thinking she might have fed it power. Until she got to the part pertraining to the spirit's warning. That got his attention as much as it appeared to the first time around, and with that came the conclusion that they needed to go to the river again.

They both felt the same calling, the same instinct telling them that's where they needed to go, and all the facts pointing in that direction only made it clearer. The Spirit needed them there, for reasons yet unknown to them... But by going there, maybe they'd find what those reasons really were in the end. Now with a destination settled upon, both Guild Mage and investigator made way towards the river, the same old river where all those close encounters had taken place.

"Here...", Alisa mentioned as they arrived, Lumen's guiding light helping them find the way. The litwick remembered the way almost as well as the woman herself did, as this was only the third time it had found himself there alongside her.

Alisa





WORDS: 1620 | TAG: @Solo | CLOTHES




She knew what to look for, but she had no certainty as to whether the object of that search would still look the same as it last did. It had changed a great deal since the first time Alisa laid eyes on, and eventually touched it, going from the wispy orb shape to a mostly humanoid one. It took Alisa little over a few minutes to finally lead the inspector to its location, and just like she expected, she found the spirit had once more changed forms. It looked far more human, now clearly displaying the shape of a young boy. But it wasn't the same. That same voice that had called her here on so many times and had yet done so again, sounded much fainter now... It took Alisa a scarce few moments to realize how that voice had grown weaker the closer she reached, unlike the last time where proximity only made it stronger.

And the spirit itself? It just knelt there on the ground, looking visibly in pain. And at the sight of Alisa and another different man, it simply raised its arm and pointed further away. Both their eyes slowly and uneasily trailed in that direction... And came face to face with the danger the spirit had warned them about.

What's that...? Just seeing it sent a shiver down her spine, and if there were ever any doubts that the blue spirit didn't really mean them any harm, they would have vanished the moment they laid eyes on that thing... All black, with tendrils of darkness oozing out and about its spectral form, hovering menacingly a few inches above the ground. They couldn't see what the two spirits had been doing before, but both had a pretty good guess, with the Blue one on its knees and clearly in pain. But once the shade spotted the two mortals, both of them earned his full attention, with scarcely another glance spared at the lone blue spirit. It shoot a dark tendril at her, from over ten meters away. Both Alisa and Inspector Nilan had more than enough to dodge:

"Look out!!", he cried out frantically, almost as if he assumed Alisa would have been too frozen by dread to react. She didn't. As eerie as this looked, as much as it sent a visceral sense of dread straight into her, it was just, visceral. She had seen this and far worse, and so wouldn't really be rendered helpless by a creature such as this.

Rolling down to avoid the tendril, she found herself forced to duck under a second one, before finally seeing a window to reliate with a right jab, shooting her Shatter spell at the creature. But It too dodged her attack with ease...! Pretty fast, much faster than what a living person could ever be...! As she was dealing with an undead being, she couldn't exactly just rush it down and pummel away with her fists and kicks either. However, she could just do the next best thing.

Alisa





WORDS: 2220 | TAG: @Solo | CLOTHES




Right after her punch, she stepped in with her leading right leg, a short, almost centimetric step that simply served to build momentum and slide her rear foot behind it. As that foot approached its lead twin, her bursting forward motion kept her speedy opponent guessing where she might strike next, and antecipating a front kick with another projectile. the monster simply stepped aside. What he didn't see or even care to notice was the nature of Alisa's chambered stance - simply raising her right leg bent and vertically - allowed her to easily throw just about any kick at a split second, and with a quick swing of her hips she turned her body into a mighty round kick, shooting a Slicing arc of crystals at her foe, heading straight for him as if antecipating his rather predictable evasion.

This time, he had no choice but to dash away, putting that impressive speed to full use. It didn't come nearly as close to hers, but for a mere creature she'd pretty much been hired to kill, it looked astonishing nonetheless. It was easily as fast as Finn - one of the strongest fighters she'd ever faced in battle or training - if not faster but then again, speed was never Finn's strongest asset anyways...

Yet where she'd usually see nothing but respectable mobility, this time she saw something else: An opening. Once the creature pushed forth with its full power into a dash, all she had to do was see where she was headed and exploit, narrowing her eyes and flicking two fingers up for the finishing blow. Creating a loud, shattering eruption of crystals right beneath the shade, she hit square with enough power for it to wail loud enough to make their ears grate. With that dreadful screech filled with pain, its wispy, shadowy form faded and faded until nothing else remained of it.

'It is done'

That voice, once more... She turned to the spirit and smiled, visibly glad to have finally settled this once and for all. Maybe now she'd be able to rest easy, and get back to work tomorrow morning. Well, maybe not as early as usual, but she'd defenitely still get up early. As the spirit raised its hands at them, Alisa and the inspector understood its intentions. But in her case, she also knew what kind of reward he offered. To relieve her own memories just as she'd lived the spirits that one time.

As she eyed that translucent Blue hand, the woman pondered her options...

She thought she didn't live in the past... Even though she fought to avenge it, she strove to live in the present while keeping her eyes open for the past and future, without letting them take the reins in her life. But the spirit's offer resonated with something she couldn't deny, something primeval; perhaps the same force that drove her incessantly towards revenge even though she'd achieved an open minded, and calmly contemplative mindset.

The calm, artistic father reading and drawing up new pieces - immersed in his work like he always was - while the romantic mother admired his work. At times the jovial uncle would join them for dinner, frequently drinking too much and ultimately telling embarrassing stories about the father, his younger brother. Cool as ever, the father  didn't care much for them personally, though he clearly felt ashamed of the bad examples the two of them gave the daughter... In the end, the normally kind and loving mother would interfere, getting angry at the uncle until he calmed down in turn.

With that dreamlike scene firmly ingrained in her head, she all but drifted off to sleep immediately, barely registering the walk back to the inn, stripping off her clothes and falling face first on the silky, welcoming sheets into a blissful slumber...
