Sample Post: Tess finds her healing power.

Kairu said: ↑

Tess had just finished dealing with the last of the undead which hadn’t made their way to the camp. She turned around in time to see Merrick gouging out Roxanne’s eyes. Her satisfaction at this sight was short lived when she heard a noise unlike any she’d heard before. There was shouting of such pain and agony that it sent a chill down her spine. It was made worse that the shout was coming from Merrick. Moments after he began, himself and Roxanne were engulfed in a roaring flame. Tess’s body sprang into action and in a heartbeat she’d covered the distance between herself and Merrick; she didn’t stop, instead she tackled him. The two fell into the river and there was a loud hiss as the water quenched the flames that had engulfed Merrick.

Tess stood up from the fall and was having trouble pulling Merrick back to dry land. She cursed as her left arm hung uselessly by her side, but she finally got him out of the river. Tess looked to where Roxanne had been but only saw a pile of ash. She returned her attention back to Merrick and tried to remove his armour to check his injuries. “Oh by the Gods!” she said in frustration as she couldn’t release his armour. “Ego præcipio tibi, ut relinquam” she said putting two fingers to Merrick’s armour. There was a blue flash of light and when it abated Merrick’s armour had disappeared. “Merrick! Merrick, can you hear me, wake up!” Tess pleaded as she searched for a pulse. She found none.

Tess reached for her pouch which proved difficult because of its positioning on her left side. She cursed to herself and again searched for a pulse or some sign of life. “Merrick! Merrick please!”

Tess felt a strange energy and saw a green light emitting from under her armour where her wounded shoulder was. Tess could feel the nerves and muscle stitching themselves back together. Once the sensation was gone and Tess could freely move her arm. She’d healed herself. The surprise was evident in her face. Suddenly a thought struck her. She placed her hands on Merrick’s chest and tried to summon the same energy that had just healed her. She tried for what felt like a life time.

Merrick woke with a start, gasping for air. His body was riddled with pain and it hurt to move. “Merrick! You’re alive!” Tess shouted the joy clear in her voice. “Rox..anne..” Merrick said nearly incomprehensible. Tess nodded and with her arm newly healed picked up her dagger and drew an extra throwing knife. She stood protectively over Merrick and realised she’d lost track of Roxanne. Tess reached out with her powers to sense where she was.

Reason: I didn't do much work with Kairu back in the day. But still, I can tell he's come a long way. That fight we just did was so cool even I was in suspense and I was the other person! Speaking of which he's also a pretty good sport and willing to collaborate and mortalize his own characters. That's a good quality in my opinion. It makes things more interesting and it's rare to see a player do that.

Sample Post: Lilith's misunderstanding

Hope said: ↑

Lilith raised an eyebrow, somewhat astonished by the sudden change of subject. Over the weeks in his company, Lilith had grown more and more used to Voltair's humor. But she could never guess what he was thinking. This particular case was one of those times. Having no way of knowing Paige was nearby, or what she had originally thought of her relationship with Voltair, she had no idea what brought on his suggestion. "Pretend to wha..." she put her bisento down against a tree next to her, and suddenly became suspicious. "Voltair... you're a good person and all. And I really appreciate your help over this past month... But you do understand I like women right? One in particular..." she spoke awkwardly, stumbling over a few of her words. With no knowledge of what Paige had thought, she took Voltair's suggestion the wrong way.

Reason: This is the second time I've had to have Hope take over for me what with all the stuff going on irl for me, and again she blew me away with how accurately she can portray my character. Her writing has always been good, and it's gotten better since I first met her for sure, but I'm just so impressed by how quickly she can adapt to a situation and roll with it. Well done.

Roxanne allowed the dagger to enter abdomen without retaliation. But as he did it she suddenly reached her hand down and grabbed the handle, and Merricks hand along with it. With that, she allowed herself to roll forward. As much as she did her best to hold the dagger still, it still sliced through her flesh a few inches with the movement. She felt the blade slide all that way but it didn't hurt. Still, she knew that wound would have to be favored if she didn't want to bleed out. The movement, however, twisted Merrick's hand at an awkward angle forcing him to release it. Once Merrick was on the ground she quickly rounded off to straddle him, both knees on both of his wrists as she tossed his dagger away. It impaled a nearby tree. In seconds, Roxanne had already risen her scythe to both hands. It's massive blade rested against his throat.

The blood from her wound flowed down her body, feeling warm and sticky. She knew she was losing a lot of blood. She screamed victoriously as she lifted the scythe above her head and jammed the blade down with all her strength to decapitate Merrick.

Reason: I appreciate the nomination from Oath. But the reason the fight scene came across as exciting as it did was because of her own writing skills. She threw curve balls whenever the opportunity presented itself and I feel the only reason my writing was on a similar level was because I knew I had to be good. Oath is a fantastic writer and I was genuinely excited each time I saw that alert saying she had posted. She honestly deserves the title.
