He hadnt done anything illegal to end up here, besides having fought in a barfight that is. But in his opinion it was deserved, the other bastards had tried to pick a fight with him and he had taught them a lesson on respect. Though, he did do more damage to the bar then he had meant to with his Combustion Magic. He just hoped the people hed be dealing with would understand his good intentions.

Noyiah staggered slowly, lumbering towards the main exit, when she heard the sound of stone clicking against the floor. She looked over at the new prisoner rubbing her eyes for a moment and before they widened in surprise. “damnit. . .” She said quietly looking into the cell, there was a clear absent of the required materials “I don’t know who you pissed off enough that they didn’t even set out a blanket and food, but ill grab you some. . . Seeing as no one bothered.” Noyiah said slightly disappointed by her delay getting home. She turned to start heading away and then stopped to mention “ i wouldn’t throw any more rocks people take that kind of thing rather serious” she said heading down to the hall back the way she had come before.
Noyiah grabbed a rough looking pale blue blanket, it looked no bigger than a bath towel and she would likely feel bad giving it over but if she was caught giving out more than she was supposed to it could cause complications for her. Glancing around for a moment she quickly realized that they wouldn’t have any sort of food until the morning.
Noyiah made her way back into the holding cell hallway before stopping in front of his cell once again. She glanced around for potential threats, before mushing the blanket between the bars. “so what are you in for?” She asked before picking up the clipboard on the wall, normally they kept records on each incident and the person. But as Noyiah expected there was only the bare minimum filled out. she chose to wait to tell him about the food, encase he didnt notice

"No need to worry about me none, Ma'am. I've been in far worse prison cells then this one." That was a bit of a lie, hed been in smaller more timid village holding areas but never a dungeon proper. But as she returned with the worn blue blanket, he took it without protest and set it on the bed as his old illumin neckless fell from his shirt. He stood back up and looked at her once more while making a mental note to find some other way to pass the time while waiting to be released then throwing the rock. "Thank ya kindly," he said with another tip of his hat as he stayed standing to have his conversation with her. "I'll be straight with ya Ma'am, I'm in here because some ig'nit fools wanted to get drunk and try to pick a fight at the bar. So I taught a lesson I hope they wont forget. I ain't killed no one mind you, I have no real stomach for unneeded blood shed but i couldnt let that stand." He sighed softly. "Shame they made me use my magic... wish we could have just settled it the old fashioned way with out fists, but I'm willin' to pay my debt to the bar owner through hard work if need be."

Noyiah would write down his name if he told her, either way she would look him over again, taking in details about him as she studied him with her steel blue eyes. Noyiah had a good sense of people most of the time, and though he was in the cell, she had a trust for him already. He seemed simple and honest, a rather hard trait to possess in this day and age.
Noyiah would brush her bangs from her face with the back of the pen, Noyiah was wearing a large black trench coat overtop of her rune knight uniform. A belt cutting across her waist to distinguish her features still. She wore her hair let down, she originally had her hair up in a ponytail but over the countless hours of paperwork she took it out and the hair elastic still hung around her wrist loosely she wore grey tights under her uniformed skirt, and black regulation boots.
After a moment she would introduce herself if he hadn’t told her his name by now, and if he had originally when she asked, she would have told him hers right after she wrote his down. “I am Noyiah dashi, would you be able to confirm the name of the rune knight that dragged you in?” She asked looking him over again to gather more details that she might have overlooked last time.

“Joshua Bell Graham, Ma’am. Age 25.” he reached into the pocket of his utility belt and removed his travel pass, a small black book he used to keep track of his entry and exit from countries. He had gone toa few different ones to get to central fiore, but he smiled gently as he heard her name. “Their aint no need for that Ma’am, no harm done no foul taken in my opinion, id just like to leave this cell behind and get on my jouney. I have a monster I need to confirm is dead and stays dead.”
Tue Nov 19, 2019 6:36 am
In truth she didn’t have much she could do other then a small amount of hand to hand training and call for help. But Noyiah would attempt to bluff the man. Noyiah glanced around and then back to the office “I’ll be right back” she said walking off letting the heels of her boots click against the tile floor as she walked with each step.
Noyiah entered to office and looked about, there was two keys out on the desk in the office, Noyiah assumed quickly that these where likely the keys they had used and didn’t bother putting away right. There also seemed to be a file out, she picked it up and looked at it, inside would be all the crimes that Joshua Graham may have committed within Era. Looking at it for a moment she looked more so about his magic type and capability. Sighing again she palmed the keys and walked out of the office and towards the cell.
“what are your plans for the rest of the night now that your free? She asked as she unlocked the door to his cell and slide it across, the metal making a horrible screech as it slides on metal. Normally people would Cringe but Noyiah had heard it a few times now and knew it was coming before she had done it.
She would wait for him to come to her to reveal that she didn’t intend to unlock his cuffs until he was outside of the headquarters.
Fri Nov 22, 2019 6:59 pm
His file was rather plain, from what was there he wasn’t suspected of any crimes beyond the one he did commit, as the magic listed was blank, with a red line of text that read ‘Most likely uses fire magic based on damage to the Tavern.’. The music from his harmonica drifted down the hallway, as waited for her to return. Once she did, and slide across the door with a terrible noise that made him wince did he put the harmanica away and stand up. He walked to her and couldn’t help but chuckle as she kept him cuffed.
“Thats smart, most people would have uncuffed me after thinking im not a threat. But you know better. You’re a survivor like me.” he said to her as he smiled gently, kindly. “I already told you my plans, Im gunna go find a monster ive been hearing rumors of, and make sure it stays dead this time.”
Sat Nov 23, 2019 9:38 am
But as he answered casual question about what he planned to do for the evening. “you seem pretty Determined, but if a beast was anywhere near here, we would have gotten word of it by now. Perhaps you should file a request with the Rune knights, if it’s a creature you’re this determined to hunt down its clearly a problem, even if you could handle it on your own its protocol to have an investigation, perhaps you’ll feel like saving me the headache later and answers a few questions?” She offered in a semi solution. Mostly she didn’t really want to find out this kid ran down into the forest and was slaughtered for some poor school kids to find or something.
So many mages where so Arrogant, so Power hungry or self-serving that it really was a shame that they possessed magics that tended to aid them to their demise. Rather then people like Noyiah who for as much has she knew couldn’t preform magic in anyway other then maybe a magic item.
Noyiah would motion towards the hallway where a small conference room was, she chose not to unlock his handcuffs yet as held the key in hand. “ But no funny stuff, this place seems pretty dead now but all I have to do is yell and everyone comes running.” She said this time very much not a bluff.
If he attempted anything the first thing she would do is attempt to keep the key away, at least then he couldn’t get the cuffs off and have a better fighting chance " i'm willing to put up with quite a bit more then the average officer, so its probably preferable i am still in charge of this" she said threatened casualty.
Tue Nov 26, 2019 9:26 pm
“Stop, somethings wrong…. what the hell was that?” he said as he looked around for any sign of what just happened. It was faint, but further below the sound of more of the dungeon doors opening with a loud yet faint screetching could be heard. ‘Looks like a prison break, but what the hell happened just now? What was that… feeling?’ Joshua asked himself mentally, as the sound of criminals getting free and climbing the stairways to the upper levels. He turned back to his new friend and hopefully battle partner.
“Id suggest getting these cuffs off me before they get up here. Cant do much fightin’ without my magic.” He held up his cuffed hands and waited keeping his eyes on the door way at the end of the hall. “Cause id rather not die to some criminals if I could avoid it.”
Wed Nov 27, 2019 6:45 am
Suddenly it was like time itself shifted, and they were down the hall, Joshua More or less Demanded his cuffs be taken off, but Noyiah wasn’t convinced despite the oddity that had occurred she simply didn’t trust him as of yet. “ I will not be unlocking you yet, I cant trust you aren’t working together “ she declared giving him a shove with her right hand, she attempted to push him so his back was against the wall. “wait here, I will be going to take a look first, no one would be stupid enough to kill a Rune knight in the headquarters, and if they would be willing to, then you’ll never see them coming, if you run i will report you as an escapee” Noyiah said as she disappeared around the corner.
She would Hastily move towards the cell hall which was not to far, glancing over to see Iris’s Cell was empty, but there were no signs of breaking out, she must have been on a mission. Seeing Is it wasn’t her she would head back, She mostly wanted the Opportunity to talk to Iris if she had been escaping. Noyiah moved back towards the hall she left Joshua in.
Noyiah would Remerge to try and find Joshua, popping around the corner she looked for him. Then Suddenly another Shift occurred, She found the pair of cuffs in her hand and the words trailing off her mouth “Now don’t do anything Stupid please, I’m placing my trust in you” Taking her free hand she scratched the top of her head “ I don’t understand” she muttered her eyes wide as she looked at the cuffs. It was Not Joshua’s magic, he was at best a fire mage, and the cuffs would have been able to suppress anything he might be able to cast. Noyiah Stuffed the spare cuffs into her jacket and leaned down to draw her Dagger out, something that likely was overlooked if Joshua hadn’t been paying attention to her boots.
Sat Nov 30, 2019 8:27 am
He moved down the hall, “How many floors of cells are there?” he said as he rubbing his wrists to ease the slight pain he felt in them. His spurs on his boots licked and clacked as he mvoed, the spiked wheel moving softly as he walked. He kept walking toward the door at the far end of the hallway, he wasn’t trying to leave, he was trying o go deeper into the dungeon. He walked without a shred of hesitation.in his steps toward danger. As he made his way to the end of the hall, the door opened as several low grade criminals, still unable to use their magic thanks to the collars put on them, rushed from the door screaming to each other there was the exist.
But Joshua didn’t let them get much farther, as soon as they left the doorway and rushed toward his range, he raised his right hand as it glowed with a red magic circle on his hand, the mark looked like a tattoo that had reappeared. “Sorry boys, but theirs no escape on the schedule today, so im gunna have to ask you,'” he said as he snapped his fingers and the air around the surging criminals shifted in nearly an instant, a slight haze around the outer areas as it suddenly ignited into a weak fireball, just strong enough to knock out the weaker criminals. “To take a seat and wait your time out proper.” he said as he waded through the unconcious bodies toward the door. They were alive, and mostly unharmed, but they would be sore and very sour tommorow.
Sat Nov 30, 2019 2:27 pm
Joshua Started to move forwards, Noyiah followed no more then a Step behind as he asked about the Cells “ There should be a Row down the hall, and then a row down that hall and some isolation cells In the basement, but I haven’t been down there myself yet” She had motioned towards each side as she mentioned each one “ There is a set of stairs at the end of that hall way that lead to the isolation cells” she said motioning back to the first one hall she had motioned to.
They moved forward swiftly, Joshua Instantly casted a spell and a small Explosion of fire knocked a hand full of the prisoners that Noyiah had seen earlier that day, it seemed like whoever was breaking people out was Letting Everyone go to Cause more chaos. “Carful, there are still knights in the building, and they might mistake you as a prisoner still” She warned as she rushed into the room where Joshua had blasted them away. Noyiah took the time to pull them back to the cells, though some may be heavy she seemed to have no struggled dragging them to the cells. Noyiah would shut them and make sure they latched. Noyiah glanced towards the West hallway she had motioned towards originally, it was empty, no prisoners nor guards. But a Commotion rang out from the stairwell that lead down. “The Guards should be able to handle anything thrown at them, we clear the East hall first then siege down to the basement” She Instructed as she placed her back against the wall and touched the door handle, she would open it when Joshua Was Ready. On the other side was easily 3 other prisoners, 1 which had gotten his cuffs off.
Sat Nov 30, 2019 3:16 pm
Despite if he hit or not, he would land past where the three men were, using his momentum to carry himself to a stop. He stood with a smile. “I reccomend you boys lay down and let me cuff you, you aint going anywhere.” He stood with his hands on his hip.
Sat Nov 30, 2019 3:51 pm
After they placed the prisoners back in the cells they would be left with the task of downstairs. Noyiah would head to the door, her intentions where to get more sets of cuffs before heading down stairs “Alright we need to~ Suddenly another time shift happened, and they were both standing on the stair way down to the isolation cells. Noyiah had 3 extra sets of cuffs along with the original one she had taken off Joshua still on her belt. “You’d make a good Rune knight if you got your priorities straightened “she half complimented as they had exited the shift. “Are they happening more frequently?” she asked as they headed down the stair well. Rune knights Laid unconscious at the foot of the stairs, and the door to the hallway looked shut. A Metal door that stood taller and wider than most in the headquarters. Noyiah moved past the bodies, they were visibly still breathing. She placed her hand against the door and listened. She checked the door “Its locked from the inside” she whispered. “at least 4 people talking inside.
Fri Dec 06, 2019 4:50 pm
he tapped her and lead her from the door. He took her cuffs and sighed. "Go get any other knights you can. I'll hold them here and at least keep them entertained." If she started to protest he would stop her. "Ain't gunna hear it right now. Your faster then me evem in that armor. Get going." He stood up and began to prepare to blow the door inward using his magic to create a spell sigil on the door before the explosion rocked the room inside as the door was opened. "Howdy fellas!" He said as he walked inside "now you know visitations arent for another 2 days, so what's this all about huh?"
Sat Dec 07, 2019 3:17 pm
Logic told her that Knights would show up, and she quickly turned back around as she heard the explosion from below, followed by a ~ Howdy fella’s ~ echo up the spiral stairwell, grumbling low as she felt like she had been Tricked. she started to rush back down the stairs, until she heard him continue his casual banter. Noyiah Pressed two fingers against her lips and Whistled loudly in an ear-piercing way. The whistle would catch the attention of anyone that was in pursuit of them after heading the blasts from their last encounter.
Noyiah Skidded down the last few steps as she returned to see Joshua standing in the doorway. She Took a breath and evaluated the state of the room and the people in it. There was a good chance that she had done some paperwork on some of these thugs and would know about their magic.
Tue Dec 10, 2019 1:36 pm
The first and shortest was a strange black skinned imp. Its eyes were a strange solid white, each one pupil less and colorless. It's right eye had a scar over it that was also white, as if the eye and scar were one thing. It wore a purple top hat and strangely jestery cloths. He turned a large smile on his face as he looked at Joshua.
The second tallest, which compared to the smallest and the tallest of the three looked almost human, besides the starved and gaunt frame that is. His long and silver hair was blade straight, except for where it stuck up on his head as spiky hair. His long pointed ears gave away what he was as he struggled to stay standing, as if his own weight was to much for his soft frame and bones. "His voice is very irritating." He spoke so quietly, yet it echoed within Joshua's head as if he was right next to his mouth.
The largest moved forward, his dragon body unmistakable, the deep ivory spikes that stuck from his body were sharp and rather long, but curved upward toward him self for the most part. He growled and looked down at Joshua. "Dont worry, he wont be here for much longer."
Behind them all was a dark.figure, its body not there but the silhouette of a person could be seen. Its eyes were the only thing that were in detail, they were golden. As it spoke, its voice was distorted as if through a lacrimal radio. "Who ever he is, he is of no consequence. Do we have a deal? Your freedom for acts on my behalf?"
Joshua picked up a rock and tossed it at the figure and it passed through its head. "Now hold on, I am of some consequence to you. Dont take me so lightly."
Thu Dec 12, 2019 9:29 am
Noyiah pushed on as Joshua Disappeared, regaining her sight lines. They spoke, and Noyiah was able to ease drop on them, but she had no knowledge of any of these beings. She pressed her back to the wall, to the room Joshua had just walked into. She wasn’t going to rush in, but her ears were honed for any sound, if they approached Joshua, she would be there to rush them from the side and intercept.
Noyiah drew her dagger from her boot and clutched it tightly in her hand, reversed in her palm. When she heard a rock Bounce off the floor and clatter near the beings. Noyiah Sighed as she recalled the conversation they had met to, where she told him that some people take that sort of thing rather seriously, and she had a feeling that they might. Noyiah would still Wait for back up, or until she couldn’t wait longer with how Joshua was Acting it was likely she would have to intervein before backup showed up.
Tue Dec 17, 2019 9:37 am
‘You idiot! I sent you to get reinforcements not to come back alone!’ he thought to himself as he turned, fear rising. ‘We might actually die now.’ he thought to himself again as he swallowed his fear. “Well your gunna sing another tune my friend.” he spoke out with an air of confidence he had managed to throw on before he spoke. “See, your not just facing just some country boy who aint got magic.” the young Sorcerer reached forward and snapped his fingers, only for nothing to happen. He looked at his hand and snapped again and again. But nothing happened.
The strange frail elf had spoken silently, suddenly Joshua fell to his knees, draind of almost all his mana with just the effect of the spell. He felt dread wash over his body, dispair. He struggled to look up as the pale man was now standing better then before, paper thin wings of gossimer emerged from his back. The man sighed as he finished the spell. “You have quite a strong magic, ill give you that.” the man said as he walked silently toward Joshua and with a simple flick of the sending sent Joshua flying backward into the stone wall, he was out cold. He turned to face the girl he didn’t know, he looked at her as if studying her. “You have no magic girl, move away, your life need not be taken today like your unruly friend.”
Tue Dec 17, 2019 10:12 am
Joshua Attempted to cast a spell and was Quickly dispatched of, a Sharp Click of fingers and the Young Sorcerer was tossed into the stone wall behind Noyiah took a quick glance to check if he was still breathing, being as perceptive as she was, she took note of the shallow breathing he was managing still. Nothing a healer or doctor couldn’t patch up, but now she had no other options.
Noyiah left her spot, she quickly Ditched her dagger into her tying loop on the back of her coat, a small slight of hand, she lifted her hands up as if she surrendered. “I’m complying with your terms, though I ask one thing. Spare the Kid, he’s Young and stupid, if you let him live, I can pin the damages to the building on him, and you can vanish never to have been here before.” She Lied, but she lied well, her heart rate strayed rather steady, though she was still a little tense due to the situation at hand.
Fri Dec 20, 2019 1:44 pm
"Enough, we are working in borrowed time, will you repay my actions of rescue with actions of your own?" The prisoners nodded and gave their confirmation.
"Imp, it's time to go." The figure said as he turned to look at the black skinned imp, who gleefully and laughingly took out a large scroll from his outfit, but it was too large for him to store normally.
"Oh this is the fun part." The imp said as he unrolled the scroll and began to activate the teleportation spell.
As it charged up, and the 2 prisoners and the imp were surrounded by the magic circles, Joshua regained consciousness, he groaned and even from the pile of rubble he was in, he looked over at the escapees, his eyes shining with...something, though it was hard to tell yet what it was.
"En...enjoy the freedom you've got now..." he said confidently even as he struggled to get the words out. "Cause one day, I'm gunna find you all and put you right back in these cells... that's a promise!" Joshua said with a trace of anger in his voice.
The man without a body turned to look at joshua as his body began to fade as the others teleported away. "Dont make promises if you cant pay the dues on them." He dissapeared as Joshua let out a mouthful of blood.
Sat Dec 21, 2019 11:40 pm
They started to activate a teleportation scroll, which again Noyiah couldn’t really stop, but she heard the sound of boots scuffing the floor as they rounded the stairwell upstairs, backup was on its way.
Though Joshua awoke and vowed to re-imprison them, a nice thought but it was a much harder thing done than said. Noyiah would immediately attempt to check his vitals. She placed to fingers against her neck and counted out the timing right before he coughed out blood. Noyiah glanced back to make sure they were not in immediate danger.
Noyiah immediately hoisted Joshua up on her shoulder, and tried to lift him to his feet, she remained calm and collected as she guided him up the stairs where another knight was heading down. “They are gone, this man is injured and needs immediate medical attention, call in our medic, and tell him the soon the better.” She barked and pushed passed the knight as she guided Joshua back up to the medical ward, not far from where they had met.
Noyiah helped lay Joshua down on the Medial table and started to take his shirt off to better inspect his injuries. He likely would have at least bruised from being tossed backwards. But she wasn’t sure what magic the Assailant had used, but she knew a great deal about magic and tried to narrow it down as she touched gently over any bruises, feeling for broken ribs or ruptured organs. " you really are quite the fool" she said quietly
At this point the Rune knight that came to their aid, rushed to the barracks to get the Doctor, who would show up in a few minutes.
Sun Dec 22, 2019 6:35 pm
As he got closer he waved his hand for another page to sound the alarm. The cells were not much further and he came down a different set of stairs than the others did, and attempt to flank the enemy.
He gazed down the hall just in time to see figures fade from existence. Kaz narrowed his eyes and clinched a fist. Turbulent wind swirled around him. He ran down the hall to see if any remained, but there was only the empty cell and the glancing image of blonde hair turning a corning and a familiar voice.
He ran up the stairs, only slowing down one time as he passed over the point the people had teleported from. The knights were supposed to have measures in place to stop things like that. Someone was going to get an earful about that. They couldn't protect Fiore if people could escape from the dungeons and utilize their magic. But that was something for later.
Kaz bounded to the top of the stairs to see the page running down the hall, calling for a medic. His heart sank, thinking it was Noyiah who had been injured. He rushed after her and flung the door to the medical bay open. Seeing her standing unhurt he put a hand on his knee and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness," he said and then stood straight to let out a heavy breath. There was a man on the table that was the one who took the injuries, but he wasn't a knight. It made the situation all the more complicated.
Kaz moved closer to Noyiah, "Are you alright? You're standing but is everything okay." There was a lot of things to unravel but first he had to make sure she was safe.
Sun Dec 29, 2019 6:43 pm
But then realization flashed across his mind as he heard the male voice in the room. He sat up ready to keep fighting, as he remembered he had been fighting escaped prisoners. But he screamed out in pain as his fractured ribs, and thoroughly purple bruised stomuch and back reminded him with vicious pain for his action.
"MOTHERFUCKER!" he screamed out in pain as he collapsed back onto the bed. He panted softly, as he couldnt help but count the fractures he could feel. "Please...tell me theres a medic coming... I really dont wanna be bed ridden for as long as I feel like I'm gunna be."
Sun Dec 29, 2019 7:20 pm
“A Medic is on its way as soon as possible, I flagged down people to send for him as I brought you back here, they escaped but from what I gathered it was an inside job.” She mentioned more so now for Kazimir’s Sake then for Joshua.
It was somewhat comedic how Joshua seemed now, how tough he acted, but a few broken ribs seemed to render him useless. From all She could tell he was perfectly healthy, his pulse was good, the issue seemed to be whatever that creature did to him with a simple point of its finger. Maybe it was more serious then she realized.
With no more Noyiah could do for Joshua, she decided it was best to brief Kazimir in what had taken place he would have more of an idea as to the procedure she was supposed to follow. But this situation wasn’t really something they went over at orientation. “Joshua Graham is this man’s name, he was a Prisoner, on release who assisted in the apprehension and beat down of 4 other prisoners, unfortunately when we ventured to the Isolation cells, we were over powered, and they escaped”
Noyiah would pause to look at Joshua, he needed to take his focus off the pain. “Joshua Report to Kazimir, your account of tonight’s events, and try not to focus on the pain.” She said taking the time to step out into the hall to recollect herself and hopefully spot the medic.
The Medic Was woken up by the Guard who originally tried to come to their aid, he ran fast and did his task diligently, the medic awoke startled, but realized quickly that there was likely a medical emergency. The medic grabbed his gear and started towards the Medical Ward, it wouldn’t be much longer before he arrived in the hallway Noyiah went into.
