Welcome to Abyssus Invocati!

So, what do you expect happened within the Time Skip frame?

Comments, Suggestions, Complaints and Concerns are open. Then we're going to have a write up about it and stuff. Regards to the House ruling system... I'm going to let Anke or Amelia play rock-paper-scissors who's going to get it.

...Carry on with your thooughts.

I honestly would not suggest letting Anke have her turn to rule this time around. XD Unless you like militaristic methods \o/

Well, the army returns victorious. Unfortunately Commander Isaak was felled at war, his corpse and spear carried back to Aspyre on his warhorse. There'd be a minor squabble between the Generals over who ascended to Commander, but I really doubt Anke would allow something so important to her to slip through her fingers. <<; She'd be promoted within a few weeks.

As for what happens with Desjardin and Windsor, that's entirely up to them.

Marle's still single, ladiiiiiies.

\o/

HAINE IS ENGAGED...maybe.

\o/

The diplomatic tensions that were caused by the party are smoothed by now. Probably there is tension within the family, who's going to rule after who. Subject of marriage comes to play...mother betroths him to someone. And all else is yet to come...

... WHICH REMINDS ME

Anke would of course remain one of the Singles. She would have done her best to let Yvonne keep thinking of her as 'Viktor' though.

Mordred vanisheeeeed (like a ninja) but he'll be back.

Thobari found the water source and is currently spearheading the Aqueduct project (which is like, only around 5% completed rofl) He travels back and forth from the capital to Messina to check up on the project.

Lytol is.... still Lytol. omg. XD

Overall Site Plot:

- Aspyre won the battle, the barbarians withdraw.

Engaged?
Worrying over dad definitely.

It's going to be quite a growth spurt (w/c is why I don't like the TS much) but here goes...

*Jessica will be somewhat involved with the politics or at least in the council due to her father's condition of having a broken leg by an accident and she had a bit of office experience in management during her parents' absence. You could say she acts mostly as a representative though she can state her own opinions which given her role as a 'mute' will be quite a chore; she may have to invite a translator.

*She is mostly a mature character by then though still has some moe childish quirks.

*She has grown an interest study for human behavior, something her dad told her to be truly observant about so she maybe more socially active.

*Her talents with the music arts are now expanding, she can now play the guitar and her drawings are moving up from sketches to more solid line art.

*Discretely known only to a few, she is learning to speak vocally. It turns out her chords were just underdeveloped, much to her surprise. Before she couldn't talk at all and had swallowing problems, they later grew to weak moans but these moans were slowly becoming comprehensible. Jessica cam only talk sparingly though as the process hurts the more she talks. She hopes one day to sing like her mother and so practices but keeps it as a secret.

Allies:

*Reis will no longer be her head maid, she has gone off to Devon to rediscover her true identity where in Aspyre she couldn't find the answers; further details in Arc 2. May reappear again but under Zhen; still keeps in touch with Jessica.

*Replacing role of head maid will be Viera Eliot who will be climbing the household ranks to get it and serving penance but bears no resentment after what the McKnight brothers told her in Arc 1.

*A new type of dish is (accidentally) discovered in Aspyre - pizza, courtesy of the McKnight brothers. Together with Viera and little help from the Loreleis, they opened a Pizzeria dedicated to serving this new dish. It is getting quite popular fast especially to middle-lower classes.

*Cindy is (presumably) dead though her last request for her role playing theater was completed in Arc 3. It was a memorable day.

*Farlis Ingram efforts in the Arcs pays off as his wanted status in Aspyre is lowering to null for the merits he did courtesy of doing more than just being a hired bodyguard to a noble family. His contract with the Loreleis though has been done.

Others:

Fallen

*his rep as the vigilant Raven is increasing, his true identity still not yet found.

*did his own detective work regarding the missing Seer. It is revealed he has high respect for the Seer women and only shares this respect to them being it was a Seer who changed his life.

*Currently lands a job in the news press, initially as a newspaper boy but has been climbing ranks to being an inquisitive reporter. He is also thinking of doing his own brand of satire comics for a hobby, based on the people he met.

Lianor

*After the victory, she has suffered an injured right arm and has a head cast. This forces her to be left handed though given a month more she can use her right arm again. By then she can uses two swords at once. During this period, she suffers the effects after the war including being socially reclusive for awhile and coping with daily life once more.

*It is expected that she will be investigating and oversee restoration of the outpost and the northwest garrisons while the commotion with the generals goes on.

*She does still have time to see the Commander's funeral and will be delivering grieving news to the families of the dead soldiers. She occasionally spies Jessica to see how she is doing but can't afford to return to her side due to grief and still be returning to her assigned duties as Captain. She does make an official visit on Christmas day though.

*After hearing the case of the missing Seer, she suggest to increase security measures, preferably managed by female guards, though this may have impact and limits with the public a bit. Whether this will push through depends on the new Commander, Ruling house and High Seer's choice.

OH btw.

- Seer girl washes up from river, looks bloated etc.
^ Thus starts the suspicion.

Farlis quit his librarian job after ending his contract with the Loreleis and began wandering the region. He doesn't do anything in particular and still accepts mercenary jobs, but he would rather walk around aimlessly and enjoy what what life has to offer. His experiences with the Lorelei household staff and his masters have rubbed off on him, therefore part of his wandering is to do some soul searching. Farlis finally learns the value of shaving his facial hair every now and then.

Arcshot moves up to a Master Sergeant after the battle and doing some side jobs. His superiors plan to put him in the Intelligence division as he is more useful there than on the battlefield, but that is still to be debated upon. He learns upon returning home that his fiancée leaves him for another man, but he didn't really care much about it. Deep inside, he still retains suspicion regarding Crest and his motives.

Wanted posters of Gerath's masked face are posted in each province. Under the alias "Twinblade", he continues to pillage the countryside with his nomadic troop of bandits. On a personal level, Gerath and his beliefs remain unchanged. He has adapted to living in nature, and now commands more bandits than he had to start with.

Amelia becomes ruler (?) of this year? >>; Up to you guys. But currently...

Amelia is helping with the aqueduct project and has given up her whip to further pursue a career in public speaking and politics. THINK HILLARY CLINTON, GUYS AND GALS--except less American... and old. D: But with a slightly-ever-so-slightly same mindset.

Zhen is pregnant(?) O:!

Phoebe has gone off to grander pastures! 0: All over the world!

Eurydice... still... thinking about it. P:

Another note-


Anke is not a kind or lenient Commander. While she has less time for trivialities, the army remains firmly underneath her thumb. Any and all illegal activity that inflicts harm upon civilians is dealt with severely, and if by some chance the culprit escapes, hell itself would be chasing them until the trail disappeared completely. She's become (if possible) more ruthless, less preoccupied with entertainment and more with her duty, but still has that... special little personality quirk. Among other things.

Boobies?

Yve still single D:~

LUDIVINE WILL BE POSTED SOON

Rayde still operates his jewelry business normally, although he is bothered by the fact that he hasn't found a bride yet. He is a bit depressed that his sister has left to travel around the world. Seeing he no longer has any woman to be intimate with, he decides to become a gigolo as a sideline.

In other words,

JEWELLER BY DAY,
GIGOLO BY NIGHT.
