The Void

Carmine:Hey?

Yujin:So are we going to pretend those two people aren’t here now?

Marcus:*sipping juice*

Lilith:*waves politely*

Yujin:….*shrugs* Introductions are tiring. It’ll happen eventually.

Carmine:Are they cool?

Yujin:I only know Lilith. She can fight. They call her the Invisible Girl like Pyrrha.

Carmine:….

Yujin:…!? Oh shit, that’s what they call you in your world.

Carmine:I demand a match!

Kovu:I’m begging you to make a friend by saying hello at least once.

So when Lucian redeems himself thanks to his Girlfriend, how would the Heirs think of him now when he's changed? Ya know, in case one day he'll be Aurora's Future Son-In-Law?

Well Kiara already liked him cuz he reminded her of Kovu. Who he knew about and had proof he was existing somewhere. The others were intrigued and on edge. He knew everything about everyone despite not even meeting them in person. Which is a weird feeling. It’s like some stranger knew exactly what you did 5 years ago on your birthday— which they weren’t there for.

But he’s grateful appreciated now since he blew Belladonna’s cover in her pre-Belldam days. Sparing some of our heroes to an unfortunate fate.

Mantle of Flames NPCs

Yes I know I said it's be on thursdays and Monday's but I feel like it's important to get some base info out there. Warning this one will be long. And expect another one today or tomorrow explaining the lore of the world and the plot so far.

So here is a list of a good bit of the NPC's in MoF. Or at least most of the important ones.

-Bao Moonclaw: High Elf Emperor of the city their centered in (called Alamoa) and leader of the council. Very overworked and the party constantly almost ending the world does not help.

-Anastasia Moonclaw: Human wife of Bao. A sweet girl who enjoys flowers and is very protective of her daughter.

-Grendel Moonclaw: Tiny half elf child. Like 8-10 (I'm not very good at remembering ages) who loves befriending everyone.

-Inari Belladonna: Human sorceress. Council's Master of Magic. Chaos aunt to the group and also the first council member the group met and befriended. Also a disaster lesbian.

-Kythor: Teifling rouge. Council's master of secrets. Very elegant but not afraid to kick ass. Interacts with the party the least.

-Toxan Bacrath: Black dragonborn barbarian. Council's general. The large friend that gets strong so he can hug all his friends really well. Once threw Canary 20 feet.

-Carric Hilahila: Highelf cleric of Correlon. Council's master of religion. Sweetness incarnate. Currently dating Mairon after helping resurrect her, forming the perfect diabetes couple. Used to be named Carric Vax.

-Warryn: Gnome bard. Council's master of Import/Export. Happy Scottish party boy who loves talking to the party. However, they forgot about him for 27 sessions, until Jet berated them. Now is a favorite council member.

-Raven: Human(?) Shadowmancer. Council's master of public relations. Took over the council position after Zeanna turned traitor. Edgy boy who is actually a living rift to the shadowfell barely held together by the magic of a fiend. Constantly at risk of basically exploding and opening a giant rift.

-Erabus Nerezza: Woodelf monk. Council's master of the mines. Took over the council position after Vistra's death. Used to be an adventurer till her whole party was killed fighting the tarrasque. Now is a Proxy (a person that can come back after death but loses a part of them each time, like Althaea) and trying to help the party.

-Buck: Human bard. Leader of the high guard of Alamoa. Full name is Buckamire Archibald Kingsley. Currently dating Canary and took full responsibility for anything the party does in the eyes of Bao.

-Kyofushin: Aracanalolth wizard/archivist. Kyo for short. Was supposed to be a one off shop keep character but the party instantly adored him so he became a major NPC. Died about a year ago giving his life to save Canary then the party went to hell to rescue him. Basically the mom to the party. Everyone's favorite NPC.

-Mordred La'Fae: Human fighter. Buck's apprentice and head high guard in training. Somehow Neutral Good despite being incredibly Lawful and focused on Justice. Hates Alistair with a burning passion because he knows how evil Alistair actually is. (The DM calls him a Cassandra). One of the DM's favorite NPC's.

-Ressa: Cloud dragon. Yup. The group befriended a cloud dragon. She's very old (described as beyond ancient) and mute and a sweet girl. Basically the grandma of the group.

-Haeldriia: Drow wizard. Was the big enemy of the first arc as she used to be a drider, but the party cured her and now she's a sweet girl who is in love with Inari but to guilt filled to make a move.

-Morgana: Human fighter. A high up member of the high guard. Took over as head when Buck was temporarily kidnapped. Also was Alistair's mistress for a while. That didn't end well.

-Lilith Wardein: Human Paladin. Eldest Daughter of Alistair and Maev. Seemed to be following in her father's footsteps but now, with a budding crush on Mordred, might be dragged towards the light of good.

-Sam Altava: Hybrid Gunslinger. Used to be a skyrate (Sky pirate) but ran away as a child and then was raised by Kyo. Invented guns and then started dating Raven. Really hates his sister but would still die for her. Honorary member of the party.

-Tazd Nightwind/Shepard: Drow elf Rouge/gunslinger/cleric of Paelor. Oh boy has he been through a lot. A teenager member of the cult that was originally tortured by the party for information before he escaped and returned later to fight the party. They failed to kill him and he left the cult to become Sam's apprentice where the cult poisoned him for turning traitor and the party had to save him. Became a sweet boy adopted by Canary who just wants to pet horses but keeps getting dragged into the party's drama. Basically, this boy has been through too much, let him rest.

-Kovu Nightwind: Drow rouge. Older brother to Tazd. Very very edgy and refuses to accept his adoption from Canary but lives on her farm anyways to be with his brother. Would sell any of them out for a corn chip and they know it.

-Maev: Human witch. Insainly powerful witch. Don't mess with her. Or cheat on her. Alistair.

-Zeanna: Gnome hard. Used to be a member of the council but turned traitor to help the cult. Now seems to be working with the big bads of the whole campaign. The party really really hate her to an insane degree despite only meeting her like 3 times. But she got away, so she must die.

-Lynn Altava: Hybrid Fighter. Captain of the skyrate ship the DawnRunner. Sam's little sister. Bit of a chaos bitch but has never actually wronged the party despite threatening to multiple times.

-Neer Altava: Half angel Fighter. Lynn's first mate. Chaos boy who will die to protect his friends and gets himself into trouble a lot. Got captured by rival skyrates once. Once jumped off a cliff showing off only to clip his wing so Jet had to save him. Currently training Jet to be a better half angel.

-Aiden: Head angel of Bane. Father of Neer and has a very complex sympathetic background, asks tough to hide it but just loves his son.

-Shadow: Head angel of the Raven Queen. Mother of Jet. Stoic and quiet and fiercely loyal to the Matron. Try's not to show how much she cares for her son.

-Zephyr: Winter wolf. A winter wolf that was guarding a dungeon and they befriended and brought back to town. Now has a whole pack including his pup, 2 winged wolves, a wolf dragon hybrid, a Druid, a dire wolf, a giant owl, and the cloud dragon. Is a tired dad that doesn't know how he ended up leader of this mishmash pack.

-JewlClaw: Green dragon. A new addition to the story. A beyond ancient green dragoness loyal to Tiamat that killed the cousin of Mairon before making a deal with her so help free her from her mother in exchange for any redeemable favor. (With some minimum restrictions)

Bonus guest characters, aka other players that came in for a few sessions:

-Valefar: Drow warlock. Absolutely ridiculous drunkard and betrayed the party twice to help the cult. Was part of the big bad fight of the first arc.

-Titus: Aquabant monk. Tired skyrate who didn't want to be responsible for this ridiculous party. But they kept dragging him along. Also really wanted to punch a dragon but kept rolling horribly.

-Shadow Dragon: Dragon of growth wizard. A quiet girl with a confusing name. Just there for the chaos but ever one of the rare lines she uttered was absolutely scathing.

Mantle Party, feel free to add any I forgot!

Grandma responsibilities

Phone rings

Raven:*picks up* Hello?

Kovu:*sniffles* Hey grandma. I…I know this is a little sudden but can we talk? I’ve been having a really rough day.

Raven: *inhales silently*… Sure, sweetheart. What’s the matter?

xxxxxx

Phone rings

Raven:*answers* Yes?

Carmine: I killed them. I killed them all.

Raven:….

Carmine:They're dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals. I HATE THEM.

Raven:(I should’ve been grateful Kovu called me for teen drama…)

Yang:Come on guys! Put your all into it! I’ll tackle the problem head on and we’ll keep pushing!

Meanwhile, Yang’s kids….

Yujin:You know we never actually need to talk about my problems. Like we can just leave them. Kinda like mom did.

Tai:Kiddo-

Yujin:I know there’s a reason, just like I have one. That’s all that matters right? Anyways, I made a pie today-

xxxxx

Summer:You’re one of the strongest people I’ve ever met.

Veronica:I jumped off a cliff. Please find stronger people. My ma is literally in the other room…

Summer:And she’s proud of you.

Veronica:Thank you, but also fuck off. *sniffles*

xxxxx

Kovu:I’ll be a great huntsman like mom!!!

Carmine:I hope you’re talking about our shared side of the family. Your other half doesn’t do much.

Kovu:I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear that and train.

Carmine:And that’s the Belladonna in you. I disrespected your mother. Fight me bitch. Be a Xiao Long! Be the half of you that always saves the other half.

Kovu:Okay, now I have to hit you.

Carmine:There ya go! Put ‘em upl panther cub! Let me see those teeth!

Schoolgirl: Ew it’s the fleabag

Veronica:Oh it’s the whore unfit for marriage.

Everyone:…. *turns head*

Schoolgirl:I-

Veronica:Seriously doesn’t it not bother you that I’m visibly depressed enough to wear sweatpants and still look prettier? I’d be upset.

Schoolgirl:You talk big but you’re just a mutt with a genes from a basic ass, no good, b-

Tips

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Carmine:*answers* Kovu, I swear if you keep calling me this often then I’m assuming you’re lonely.

Kovu:Carmine, I’ve seen you contact list. You don’t get say that. I’m calling for tips about combat class. If you’re not too busy in Vacou that is.

Carmine:You’re two inches taller than me and fit. Learn to throw your weight.

Kovu:I’m being serious here!

Carmine: You would think by now I’ve roughed you up enough for you to fight better.

Kovu:Well you’ve fought me enough to know my weaknesses so lay them on me!

Carmine:Hmm…I wouldn’t say you’re weak. Just not as committed. You’re the type of person to punch a block to put on pressure. I’m trying to punch through the block and hit a nose. Do that.

Kovu:So essentially, follow through with everything?

Carmine:Exactly! Lean into your blows. If the person can’t dodge then that’s their problem. Every opponent is just a moving punching bag that hits back.

Kovu:…You worry me sometimes, but thank you!. *hangs up*

Ozcar:*setting chessboard* Are you ever going to him you’re several floors above him regularly?

Carmine:Nope.

[razorblade180]

Kovu:Yo-yo, if I didn’t own horses, would you hang out with me?

Carmine:*on a horse* Kovu, we’re family.

Kovu:….

Kovu:Not sure I like that answer given the implications.

Carmine:I think you’re a good person and I like hanging out with good people.

Kovu:You hang out with a gang member and I never hear about other friends.

Carmine:Well telling you you’re like one of my only friends wasn’t gonna make any of us feel better! Couldn’t leave well enough alone. *rides off* Horses never ask loaded questions!

Kovu:Hey! We rode on her tog-and she’s gone…

5 minutes later

Carmine:*comes back* Hey, let’s go. I wasn’t gonna make you walk.

Kovu:You don’t know how to get back to the stables, do you?

Carmine:There you go with all these questions again!

xxxxx

Yang:Think our kids are having fun?

Ruby:Pfft, no. *sips tea* Fun ends 40 minutes into a Carmine conversation. It’s been two hours. Any casual topics rehearsed are gone.

Yang:Didn’t you have to rehearse conversations?

Ruby:I don’t know but I’m done having this one.

Yang:Do better.

Ruby:Nah, I’m happily married. I’ve won.

[razorblade180]

Ruby:Carmine, wanna go visit your aunt?

Carmine:Nope. Kovu will stick to me like glue.

Ruby:You love Kovu. He’s like your best friend besides Aero.

Carmine:Yeah but he’ll say something I’ll find ridiculous and then I have to embarrass him.

Ruby:…Or you could show restraint and support his dreams?

Carmine:Hmmm nah.

Ruby:Are you seriously not going?

Carmine:I have no time for childish visits right now.

Ruby:One of their horses gave birth and it’s still nameless.

Carmine:…

xxxxx

Carmine: *crying and hugging the colt* It’s so wonderful! Can I name it!?

Kovu:Knock yourself out.

Carmine:Nameless. That way it can be anything it wants to be! Champion, Swift, Stellar, Grazer-

Nameless:*licks her face*

Carmine:*incoherent crying*

Blake:How did two kids born around desert and sea yearn for rustic charm?

Yang and Ruby: *on horses* Patch is more than a place. It’s a lifestyle that runs through the veins!

Business and Pleasure

[Tavern, some time ago]

Kovu:H..Hello? Uhhh

Bartender:Aren’t you too young to be in here?

Kovu:I’m looking for Mona. I heard she’s around here?

The bartender points to a corner table. On it was Mona, laying spread eagle and looking at Kovu with her head hanging upside down off the edge.

Mona:Pspspsps. Hey pretty kitty. Bring those ears over here.

Kovu:*slowly approaches* Are you drunk?

Mona:I am.

Kovu:I was told you hated booze.

Mona:I do.

Kovu:….

Mona: So, is this conversation business or pleasure? *smiles* Or do I have the pleasure of being your business.

Kovu:*red* Be serious. I would never!

Mona:Yeah you would. You’re just too scared to take the plunge. Or maybe I just don’t do anything for ya? That would bruise my ego. Feels like a waste on your end; Menagerie’s favorite son visiting Vacou and not even tasting all the flavors we have to offer.

Kovu:I am on a mission for school.

Mona:Ah, so it is business. You’re looking for a rat that knows all the gutters.

Kovu:You’re no rat and I wanted to ask if you knew where Carmine was? I checked the mission board but she’s not on it.

Mona let out an annoyingly sober exhale. She sat up on the table, crisscrossed her legs, and put her chin in her hand to rest her head.

Mona:Why does everyone care about that piece of work? Haven’t seen her. Rarely do. You would’ve been better off asking Aero and you know it.

Kovu:And I’m sure you know that he’s not in Vacou right now.

Mona:Yep! Flew off to a village a few days away with his pops. He wouldn’t have known anyways. That bitchy cousin of yours isn’t in the kingdom as often as you might think. You’re more likely to see a shooting star.

Kovu:That’s odd. Can’t imagine where she goes off to. I would know if it was Vale considering I’m there. Haven maybe?

Mona:Dunno, don’t care. It makes my life easier. Not many people are determined to jump from rooftops to make an arrest. I’d say ask her folks, but you wouldn’t be here if they gave you a good answer. What’s your mission anyway?

Kovu:Can’t divulge that. Although you wouldn’t happen to know the best place for a foreigner to hide would you?

Mona:Hmm, the old factory. I’d wait till nightfall though. Hollowing winds can mask even the sound of walking on rickety metal.

Kovu:Thanks.

Mona:Ten lien.

Kovu:…

Mona:Fine, I guess it’s on the house. Although you’ve been occupying my time. Someone else could be having my attention right now.

Kovu:Do you take anyone?

Mona:Hell no. I have my standards, as well as an eye for deep pockets. Why?

Kovu:…Why don’t you apply to an academy instead of all…this. You’re old enough. We’re the same age aren’t we?

Mona:I have no interest in saving people regularly or so called making a better world. Also I’m not a fan of books.

Kovu:Be that as it may, so? Many people aren’t virtuous huntsmen, and you’d actually be better than some I’ve seen. You’d work your own hours, choose your jobs, go where you want, and-

Mona:Put my body on the line for the service of others. So nothing changes. Are jobs are more alike than you would be okay with if you thought too hard about it. At the end of it all, our business is someone’s pleasure.

Kovu:….How much would it take to have you for the rest of the day?

Mona:Oh? A change of heart? The rest of the day is no small feat, but since you’re a huntsman to be I’d imagine stamina comes naturally. Hmm, I do enjoy your company and face so 1000 lien if you’re actually serious. Or did you think I’d be cheap-

He pulls out a 1000 lien and puts it in her hand with a smile. Kovu puts his wallet away and proceeds to leave.

Kovu:Enjoy your day off. Get some real food and sleep.

Mona:……A rose.

Kovu:Hmm?

Mona:Carmine left one of her roses by Aero’s house. He’s never gonna use it. Crush it and-

Kovu:I can ask her clone questions. Thanks. You’ve been a big help. *leaves*

Mona: *looks at money* Sighs just as weird as your cousin.

Kovu:*Helping lift boxes*

Yang:You’re such a kind and responsible young man.

Blake:What did we do to get such an amazing boy like you!

Kovu:Grandpa says commen sense skips a generation.

Blake and Yang:….*turn around*

Tai:*sips tea*

Ghira:*reading*

Yang:I don’t know who took a stab at who.

Blake:Be offended either way.

Yang:It has to be yours.

Blake:Why!?

[The mall]

Purse thief: *on the floor*

Civilian:Thank you!

Carmine:Don’t mention it ma’am.

Ruby:Good job sweetie, but why’d you run up the escalator to get to him?

Carmine:Because it’s faster.

Jaune:Yeah, when it isn’t the down escalator. You were like full sprint in a matter of seconds!

Carmine:*proud* And she never saw me coming! I even beat her to the exit!

Ruby:(What have I unleashed into the world?)

Yang:I can’t tell if you’ve stolen my firstborn or my baby has taken you from me.

Blake:Can’t it be both?

Yang:I- let me hold our baby!

[Snowflakes AU]

Blake:*on the floor* C’mon, you can do it! Come to mommy!

Veronica: *crawling*

Blake:Aaaw you’re such a girl! Almost there!

The determined child makes it all the way to Blake’s face before sitting, touching her mother’s ears.

Blake:Hehe, yep, they’re just like yours.

Veronica:Heh nya!

Blake:*scoops her up* Ahhhh I love you much!!! *snuggles her*

Yang:*crying* How could you handle such cuteness!?

Ghira:*crying* I didn’t!!! Kali was so precious with Blake!!!

Kali:*recording* Calm down you two before we get a noise complaint!

[A hypothetical, if she met all three]

Blake:Oh my god…*hugs them* Kittens!? You’re mine!? You’re all so beautiful!!!!

Veronica:*red*Please stop crying.

Lucas:*hugging her back* Just enjoy the moment.

Kovu:*smiles You ever wonder if grandma only got bubbly after being a mom?

Nick:*training*

Carmine:*Watching*…..

Kovu:You sure are invested in him.

Carmine:You should be too. You’d probably learn more from him than me.

Kovu:Why’s that?

Carmine:…he’s smarter than me. Makes me jealous. His strength, his skill, it’s rooted in his ability to not only rationalize his opponents reasoning, but predict it. There’s not a moment where he doesn’t have some kind of idea what’s to come; like a dance.

Kovu:I’ve seen you anticipate movement.

Carmine:It’s not the same. I’m merely fast enough to move and quick to react. The fault in someone facing me in combat isn’t that their plan was bad, but that no matter how perfect it was, they simply couldn’t withstand me. It’s why I can beat him. My numbers are just bigger than his, but that’s unsatisfying for me. Even when I plan, they lack intricacies.

Kovu:That so? Well…I still think you’re pretty great. Take it from someone who has to plan their next move often. I wish sometimes I was simply strong enough to resolve the problem directly.

Carmine:The grass is always greener. I’ll get sharper in mind, somehow.

Kovu:All you need is foes that are good enough to force you to think critically more often.

Carmine:That could work. Can you hurry up and become a credible opponent or something? That would be great.

Kovu:Why do I try to comfort you?

#rwby #rwbabies #kovu belladonna #carmine arc rose #nicholas schnee

[razorblade180]

Kovu:Yo-yo, let me pick your brain for a moment. What exactly do you think makes you so good as a huntress?

Carmine:I got the good genes.

Kovu:I’m being serious.

Carmine:I’m mostly serious. Hate to break it to you but the quality of my parents for fighting is higher than yours; even if we’re related. Though I’m sure those ears and night vision have their uses.

Kovu:I’m going to ignore that obvious diss towards half of my main family tree so I can get a better answer. This isn’t me trying to better than you or anything vain. I just want to be better and let’s face it, you’re what “better”looks like.

Carmine:….You gotta be hungry for it.

Kovu:What?

Carmine:Listen, I know you want to help people. It’s an admirable mindset and all huntsmen should prioritize it so the world could be better. That being said, wanting to protect isn’t everything. Your have to possess a hunger for strength, dominance over foes. I’m good at what I do because grimm and thug alike, imposing strength is satisfying.

Kovu:So you’re addicted to fighting?

Carmine:No I love my days off. There’s just a clarity and concentration in battle I naturally enjoy. I want to shut out attacks, block tremendous strikes, move faster than a gust of wind, and everything else in between. Be hungry for power and refuse to lose unless absolutely necessary. That’s what you’re missing. It’s not really teachable though.

Kovu:…

Kovu:Do you have anything that is teachable?

Carmine:If you think about worst experience and all the bad thoughts it brings you can get some grimm to focus on you and off of others.

Kovu:Each tip is crazier than the last!

Carmine:This is what “better” looks like. I don’t know what to tell you. Uhhh yelling during a fight helps manage adrenaline if it’s getting to you?

Kovu:*writes that down*

Carmine:I swear that paper better have at least three bullet points…
