((Hey! Let me get the title and desc up))
23:30:10
((Ok, title and desc are up. I assume you're doing first post?))
23:31:26
On the outskirts of the city the mercenaries and bounty hunters flocked. It was the end of the week. The bounty-pool would be updated. The Drunken Swordsman was the tavern where the new rices and heads would be announced. One name was highest on the board, with a price of 700,000 gold peices to anyone who could apprehend him, and return him to a private party. 'THE JESTER' had been at the top of the board for 6 weeks now, the reward for his name was actually the collective pot of some of the wealthiest (and most corrupt) parties in the city. He had eluded and defeated some of the most recognized hunters that had chased him. He, of course, wasn't at the tavern, Isafael was sitting at a riverbank not 15 minutes away from the tavern, puffing on his pipe and watching the stars that danced across the night sky. Little did he know, a different kind of dance would occur soon....
23:32:30
The jester had seemingly gone scarce for the past few days. Normally, something like this... especially considering Isafael's nature... wouldn't register much on the rockstar's mind. For some reason though... he felt the need to look for his friend. Perhaps... the bounty may have also been a factor? Even with his success in the city... more money couldn't hurt, right? Coincidentally, the rockstar just happened to randomly visit a random tavern on the outskirts of the city. Based on what he was able to gather from word of mouth and such, he scoured the surrounding area. It wasn't a foolproof method to find his friend, but if anything... it was a nice night out. After wandering around a nearby river for a while, he caught a whiff of what was coming out of the jester's pipe flowing in the air. He softly sighed to himself and followed the scent... gently strumming a rather happy tune on his guitar... basically announcing his nearby presence to the jester. Soon, he sees the jester's outline next to the river in the night... and he simply waits for the jester to acknowledge him as he continues to make playful strums on his guitar
23:41:07
*He watched the stars, completely awestruck, lost in thought
23:46:04
((It's cool. Just repost it when you're done))
23:46:34
He watched the stars, completely awestruck, lost in thought. It was almost jarring, seeing him so innocently lost in something. He wasn't finding some bullshit loopy way to greet Aleda, or otherwise bringing some chicanery with him. Finally, he came out of the 'trance', blinking a few times and looking back to Aleda. "Aleda..."
he smiled faintly, patting the spot next to him. "out for a stroll, eh?"
23:48:44
The rockstar nodded at the jester with a faint smile. He noticed the jester patting the spot next as if expecting a casual conversation, but perhaps the rockstar had a different agenda. Nonetheless, the rockstar continued to smile at his friend as he leaned back against a nearby tree while still playing a slightly cheery song on Bloody Mary Yeah!
The rockstar agreed with a slight shrug and a smirk It's a damn good night so far...
The rockstar's eyes focused on the stars as he continued to speak... Hey, you've been kinda missing the past several days. Ya know that, right? Not that such things alarm me in most fucking cases, but you know... that... combined with this whole bounty shit on you... kinda makes one wonder...
He let out a small sigh as if hinting that his thoughts are not something the jester would be fond of
23:56:25
*the spot next to him
23:58:10
'Here we go...' he thought to himself. He'd been expecting this for a while now, but Aleda was getting in the way at the worst of all times. He needed eyes away from the halls, he needed to be chased, and here the Rockstar was, throwing a wrench in things. Still, he smiled, maybe he could defuse this, defuse him. "makes ome wonder whar, friend?"
he wuirked his head with intention.
23:59:52
puts a basket of apples, bananas, tangerines, raspberries, grapes and pears on the floor. Since I can't stay, sweet Aleda, here's something to eat in case you get hungry. Vitamins are important!
00:00:19
Brb, dinner, send your response and ill get to it when im back))
00:00:24
Oh, thanks dear Aska!
00:01:10
If Aleda wants to share, then yes.
00:01:29
It's a pretty big basket of fruits, so I think we can share it with the crowd as well
00:02:23
That is so sweet of you, like always.
kiss Aleda's cheek, and then headibg for the bed I will see you, my Sweetheart~
00:03:21
gives Aska a goodbye kiss on the cheek as well Rest well, dear Aska~
00:04:21
((Need to step out for 5 mins))
00:08:38
eating popcorn and watching
00:10:11
The rockstar simply blinked at the stars upon hearing the jester's question before stretching his neck a bit to one side letting out a small grunt Hmm...
In his head, he had a feeling the jester may be trying to diffuse the situation, but the truth is... the rockstar's mind was fully made up as soon as he started playing the first note of Bloody Mary's strings Because of our history together... friend... I'm gonna be honest with you and cut the bullshit out
He turned his gaze away from the stars and refocused on the jester You're running off and hiding and all this shit. It's just fucking misery... and I'm...
He glanced to the side for a moment before speaking again... I'm gonna help you by putting you out of your fucking misery and cash in on that bounty!
He exclaimed while still staring at the jester and strumming away on his guitar--ironically, the notes still sounded like that of a happy nature
00:18:05
Enjoy the show, Bia~
00:20:22
gives a thumbs up while designing something
00:21:42
joins bia, waving at Aleda
00:21:58
Heh!
waves back to Ayame
00:22:31
Just doing some some non lewd lore/combat~
00:30:58
He sighed, taking a long puff from his pipe, the smoke filling his lungs, before exhaling it out. He was going to need it for this. He looked back at the stars, nodding slightly, "I figured you'd have made your mind up before you came to me, it's easier that way.... just.....one morenminute before we have to do this..."
he soaked the nighf sky in, "aren't they pretty, the stars?"
00:32:25
Awee That was basically my first interaction here.
00:36:00
Isafael teaching me SFW combat RP
00:36:20
Awesome! I'm sure Isa was a good mentor
00:37:03
Yeah, he's a gem
00:37:28
Also I'm gonna load you like a tungston rod, into a bundle of my vines, and launch you to the moon like a rail gun.
00:41:19
...i dont know if that's a threat or an innuendo
00:42:07
Because launching you to the moon like a loony tunes character, sounds hilarious. And I'm tired enough to be slap happy.
00:42:43
If he really wanted to... the rockstar could've just unleashed some sort of attack at this point, but for now, he stayed his hand... in a figurative sense. Not literally as he was still strumming a gentle sounding tune on Bloody Mary... in contrast to the rising tension in the air Yeah, they are. They make good material for songs... and in some cases... they can remind us of certain folks
The rockstar observed the jester for a few moments, and the jester seemed deeply fixated upon the stars for some reason Well, not to ruin this poetic moment and shit, but it's better that I cash in on you than some fuckin' rando. Stare all you want, and then let's get the fuck outta here... so I can cash in on you before some random ass rando gets to you instead
00:43:27
Pow! Straight to the moon
00:43:53
Ya better pack your bags Alice
00:44:47
An oldie but goodie reference
00:47:07
Ohhh this looks like it will be a good read
00:47:14
Have fun watching, Sara!
00:47:54
Although, I'll probably take a dinner break soon, but we'll continue when I return
00:48:16
You both are fantastic writers. I enjoyed it so far.
00:48:27
This is the type of content I enjoy reading on literotica.
00:49:21
Thanks for the compliment! There's definitely an audience nor non lewd stuff even on here
00:50:07
Thats fine. I like a good story instead of straight up smut
00:50:29
You can only be so horny
00:50:29
Yeah, I mean, I and I assume all of us here can do lewd, but I like doing non lewd stuff too
00:51:02
"...."
he sighed. Of course it was going to be like this. Standing up, he tossed the contents of his pipes into the water and put it into his satchel. "I can't put a reason on it yet, but you...have been bullshitting me since you got here......that hurts..."
He turned to face Aleda. His scabbard was notably missing. Closing the distance between him in Aleda, he shot him a glare before bending down and picking up a particularly sturdy branch.
00:51:39
Yeah, you just can't do lewd 24/7
00:51:48
I look forward to reading more.
00:51:55
but I do still like you guys after a while
00:52:04
The rockstar almost stopped playing on his guitar completely... not because of the comments of the jester, but because of the fact that the jester picked up... a sturdy tree branch of all things to use as a weapon? What's actual bullshit... is you choosing that branch as a weapon. What? No sword? No grenade? No magic? That's fuckin' insulting, Isafael. I think I'm the one with my feelings hurt that you're not taking this seriously!
Apparently, the rockstar felt insulted by the jester's apparent choice of weaponry You should've just quietly surrendered like I suggested earlier! But now, you want to fight me with that! What in the actual fuck?
The rockstar strummed on his guitar and soon several lightning bolts whizzed out of Bloody Mary and swirled around the jester... effectively trapping him an electrical prison that illuminated the darkness around them This is just damn sad. I rather you saved yourself the embarrassment and just turn yourself in all quiet and shit like I was saying before. At least, tell me you have a powered up form or some shit!
Was this the end of the battle already? If it was... the rockstar was victorious but quite disappointed...
01:01:23
((Alrighty, gotta dinner break. We'll continue after I return))
01:01:38
((Isa, feel free to post when you can))
01:01:44
Aleda will this be available to read later? I am new to EF and still learning how to navigate the site fully
01:01:55
Yeah, we'll publish this if Isa is cool with it
01:02:18
And do let me know if you have any questions and such about EF, Sara. Welcome to EF~
01:02:53
Thanks, my hubby Jake is on EF too but napping right now.
01:03:25
But I figured I would ask so I can let him rest
01:04:02
Thanks Adela, I appreciate it. I figured out how to message people myself so thats progress lol
01:05:03
Hew grew quiet. "I left my sword at the halls....besides, i wouldn't use it if i had it, not against you...."
he crossed his arms. " can you...not make this as painful as you are? How is it that your friend you're trying to sell out is being calmer than you are, rockstar?"
01:06:42
Evwn when im playing babyface im still not being rooted for?~
01:30:19
I dunno man, you must have done something to get that bounty.
01:34:16
I'll cheer for you though. It was a bummer, when 7 people came to watch my boy fight the Fox and all of them cheered for him to lose .😋
01:35:54
Isa just can't get over
01:39:04
waves to all those that arrived Almost back, folks~
01:47:09
That fox? Whos that?
01:47:36
Ok, I think we're good now
02:05:07
I also wonder who this fox is though
02:05:14
I think hes this new wrestler with twat-
02:08:15
Dunno- he doesnt seem that interesting"
02:08:24
The rockstar rolled his eyes and started walking away from his prisoner while still strumming away on his guitar. After some distance between them, another bolt of lightning shoots out of his guitar and attaches like a rope around the electrical prison--the guitar and electrical prison are now practically connected to each other. Every step the rockstar takes from that point causes the electrical prison to drag along the ground... forcibly making the jester walk along with the prison. Luckily, for the jester, the lightning bolts are low voltage at the moment, so they would just give him a noticeable tickle for every noncompliant move that he makes Yeah? Well, I'm doing my best. We'll reach a bounty collection office eventually... once we get through this damn place that you hid around in...
The rockstar clearly sounded disappointed in one of shortest battles... if one can even call it that.... that he ever had...
02:13:52
"..."
Aleda had gotten in his hewd, if thats what he was trying, if there was a way to take isafael's mask, this was it. Still, there was a small part of him that wanted to cling to this world that he spent so long building. "Aleda..dont make me do this..."
he said, hia vocie dropping its regular flamboyance. It was eerie, hearing Isafael speak without any flare.
02:20:17
Then Isafael shouted 'Alwda' three times
02:20:37
(What's 'Alwda?)
02:26:34
A creature from Temu
02:26:58
Er... I mean a creature from hell
02:27:05
I was made in temu
02:31:15
The rockstar stood in place for a few moments... even his guitar playing stopped... it was eerily quiet... the only audible noise being the humming of the lightning bolts. Perhaps the jester's change of tone was enough to throw off the rockstar off his game and maybe even change his mind? Hmm...
It looked like the rockstar was in deep thought about something for several moments... before he took a forceful step forward... causing the attached electrical prison to be dragged across the ground with more force than usual... and he resumes playing on his guitar... Un... fucking... believable, dude!
He resumed walking without looking back at the jester How the fuck did you last this long? How the fuck did you protect those that you care about? Some protection you fuckin' turned out to be for Alyss! If this is your best, then things are better off this way. Damn... I expected so much fuckin' better from you...
02:33:40
".....i warned you.."
he mumbled, his voice stoll quiet and lacking it usual sultry tones. He waved his own hand, and suddenly, several spectral ahdns shot out from the shadows, one grabbed at Aleda's face and sostracted him while two took hold of his guitar, wildly pulling and plucking it, distorting the prison. Isafael took advntage of a wide opening and leapt through it, rolling to his feet and landing in front of Aleda, "you pushed me, Aleda......now you get to meet see me when im not playing"
he lunged forward, moving to drive the branch into Aleda's gut.
02:37:23
((Ooh! There we go~ Shall we play the combat theme now?))
02:38:22
Do you know why the rockstar had been playing his guitar this whole time? It wasn't just to sound cool... it was also part of a contingency plan. Those shiny dots in the sky... mostly stars and other wonders of space, right? Well, it turns out a few of those were actually great balls of fire... or rather, lightning, in this case. That's the real reason he was playing his guitar... he was setting up a few defensive measures in the sky above. One of the dots of light... in the blink of an eye... makes a beeline straight to the ground... striking away the spectral hand that grazed the rockstar's face. The guitar situation proved a bit more problematic, but that could be worried about later as he used the precious few seconds he had to barely evade jester's attack to his gut Whoa! There it is! Been waiting for this fuckin' moment!~
The rockstar exclaims as he hops backwards a few times to put some distance between himself and the jester. Soon, he snaps his fingers and his guitar transforms into a red mist that speeds over to reform into a guitar in the rockstar's hands Show me what you fuckin' got!
He strikes an ominous note that sends a flurry of lightning bolts rushing towards the jester
02:56:09
Isafael spun the branch in his hands, charged forard, weaving past the bolts and leaping into the air, the impromptu staff held high above his head and posied to come crashing down over Aleda. He was quiet, his gaze cold, his expression expressionless. The only emotion Aleda could get a read of was dage, pain and rage. It killed a part of isafel to do this, it killed him to be like the real him.
03:00:02
Brilliant~
The rockstar muttered with admiration under his breath as he witnessed the jester smack away the lightning bolts. A hint of a smirk formed in the corner of the rockstar's lips as he watched the jester leap at him with the intention of landing a blow to the rockstar's head. Surprisingly, the rockstar had a good second to move, but he didn't. The jester's impromptu staff hits... an electrical barrier that causes some sparks to fly out. Just before the jester's attack landed, a lightning bolt from the sky came down and acted as a barrier. Knowing the barrier probably wouldn't last too long though... the rockstar takes several backwards hops... strumming his guitar with each hop... leaving behind a swirl of lightning bolts after each hop that will make a mad dash for the jester as soon as the barrier fades or breaks apart... whichever comes first
03:12:37
The barrier was shattered as he fully landed, it took hima moment to process waa happened, and as such, he just narrowly dodged the first few ligrhing bolts. The last one struck him, and caused him to bellow out a whimper. He fellt to one knee, glaring back up at Aleda. He stood up shakily, both out of pain and tiredness, and his own emorions overwhelming him.
03:16:07
Aleda:What will you have in 500 years, Isa?!
03:16:23
Isa:.........idk bro, idk what imma have by tmrw, why are you pressing me
03:16:55
Pfft~ Nice reference
03:17:20
As the jester successfully evaded several of the lightning bolts, the rockstar assumed a more defensive posture. However, he saw it wasn't needed anymore as the very last lightning bolt brought the jester down to one knee... and he could also see the stress in the jester's face. Admirably, the jester still managed to stand up... I should let ya know... the authorities are gonna be here soon. Just in case some wild ass shit happened to me, I made sure to activate a means of tracking on my phone...
The rockstar made a quick strum on his guitar and sent several lightning bolts swirling around himself... illuminating the air around them Just fuckin' stop it now, Isa. You know it's better this way
03:26:29
"....fuck you..."
he broke his silence, his gaze sharpening. He had to look away, the disgust and hate stew3d in his gut like a bad stomach bug. "Im giving myself an ego death here just doing this, and the only thing you can say is 'It's better this way'?...you're pathetic...."
he readied his stick again, though the field around Aleda was going to be an issue...
03:31:48
An audible sigh escapes the rockstar Welp... now you can't say I didn't give you a fuckin' chance!
The rockstar grabbed his guitar by the head and twirled it above his head... gathering the lightning bolts around him into a cyclone. After one more twirl... the cyclone of electricity speeds over to the jester, and it's not a simple move out of the way scenario either... as the cyclone shoots out lightning bolts in random directions
03:37:59
His eyes widened, backing away a bit as the cyclone came barreling toward him. He did what he could at the start, dodging tendrils where hee coukd but it was too much, and he soon found himself at its mercy, ensared and tossed around by it.
03:40:16
((Isa, sent a DM))
03:43:25
((Check your DM if you haven't yet))
03:47:19
The rockstar narrowed his eyes as he intently watched the jester successfully dodge several of the cyclone's random attackss At some point, the jester made a mistake and ended up getting sucked into the electrical storm being tossed around like a rag doll. After a while, the rockstar let out a sigh and struck a note while tilting his guitar upward. The cyclone gradually lost it's speed and then reformed around Isa's body like a cage, once again, like earlier We're fuckin' done here, Isa.
The rockstar walked past the imprisoned jester and didn't bother to make eye contact. He could tell the jester was already at his upper limits... based on the jester's behavior and outward appearance We're just gonna fucking wait until the authorities arrive
03:59:32
he fell to his knees, panting. Isafae could bpmake sense of it, dumbstruck. He looekd at the gras below him, then his hands, they were so..shaky. he spoke, his voice carrying the tremor, "....w...what did i do to you...."
04:01:39
The rockstar kept walking as if uninterested in anything the jester had to say, but then he suddenly turned around and walked over to his prisoner. He stood just outside the electrical prison, and saw up close how the jester's body was shaking and taking note of any other marks of battle I'll tell you a secret...
He looked over at Isa to see what his reaction would be to this latest statement...*
04:05:41
"...."
he glared up at Aleda, unamused. Now all that could be seen behind his eyes was pain. He was betrayed, and he ciuldnt help but feel he had doe someto his friend. "what is it?...."
04:08:51
The rockstar stared back quite blankly at the jester and nodded... The truth is...
He took a deep breath before continuing... I never gave a shit about the fuckin' bounty!
Just to show that he was serious, he snapped his fingers... and then the electrical prison gradually faded away from existence I wanted to make sure that you have the means to protect those that you care about... especially our mutual friends like Alyss. You showed me that could, and you did damn well under pressure just like I had to several times... especially back in the days of Team MOM with Draco, Maria, Nocti, and several others. Now... friend... go. Hurry!
04:31:22
". . ."
his eyes widened, and he was quiet. He slowly stood, still shaky, still lost. Hed need time to fully recover from this, even if Aleda had mewnt all good with it, Isafael had opened up in a way too personal. Sqiftly, without any further prodding, he scampered away, like a wild animal
04:33:47
Get the fuck outta here!~
He yelled aloud at the fleeing jester, but his tone was that of an encouraging nature I'll take care of the rest!
After he could could no longer see his friend's outline in the darkness, he picked up his phone Fucking false alarm. Cancel the shit
He quickly ended the call and pocketed his phone... humming to London Calling by the Clash to himself as he himself disappeared into the night. That jester can certainly fight to protect those he cares about, after all!
04:38:15
((Whew! That was pretty cool even though we both had to take breaks in between))
04:39:55
Mhm! I enjoyed it))
04:41:41
((Indeed! There's definitely a place for these types of RP around here. Shall we publish the log?))
04:42:45
((Alrighty, anything else?))

04:45:34
((Ok! You did awesome! Thanks for everything! Be seeing you around then))
04:46:22
** Isafael, The Chaotic Jester left the game (definitively). **
04:46:55
Hehe. We just finished up, but we'll be publishing the log
04:47:21
i was watching most of it
04:47:30

04:47:42
Nice! Thanks! I might make a room later, but I'll need a little break first
04:48:44
Alrighty, see ya~
04:49:00
