This would be Taliss's Arcadion theme song for hyping up the audience. The Swordmaster who at first glance seems rather predictable, but wait...what did she just do and why is her opponent on edge? (She'd honestly be Gin Ichimaru in this particular video, the White Clad guy, his fighting style is definitely more like Taliss, extremely proficient and filled with half truths and lies of ommision. Coupled with constant banter while attacking to unnerve her foe. Gin psyched Ichigo out so badly with how his blade can extend extremely fast that he even pretended to be about to shoot his blade at Ichigo making him flinch only to go "Just kidding.")

The etiquette of a Black Mage

[niraff14]

The kind of caster Yesuntei is, she's smart enough to figure out peoples tricks and then use sheer power to take them out because they don't think she can get to them.

The Moon's light can bring forth a manifestation of Nhaama, graceful and serene.

Nhaama's light outshines all.

Everything has proceeded exactly as I calculated, this battle was decided from the outset according to my designs.

Animated Blood Warning

Zaraki is for me Xaela of the Steppe in a nutshell. Never shying away from a challenge no matter how insurmountable. You bring war to the Steppe all high and mighty, "You can't cut me!" The Xaela will just go "There is nothing I can't cut."

Was thinking about how characters sound a bit today, and I think Taliss's voice is alot like Wendee Lee's delivery as Yoruichi from Bleach. Since she encapuslates that confidence in her own abilities but still being able to have a playful undertone. Haven't figured out who Yesuntei probably sounds the most like yet.

[niraff14]

Yesuntei is rather terrifying when it comes to caster magic. She's the kind of caster that just has that raw power behind each spell, that each one just feels like the end of the world is about to happen. And she's giddy with happiness about it.

Even with her melee job of Reaper, her melee itself isn't that dangerous in terms of she isn't a mystical supreme master of the sword, its the magical power behind each blow. Since even in melee she uses aether magic to greatly enhance her strikes to where even when you block a blow you can just FEEL it in your bones.

The Assistant and the Cider

“Erick.”

Erick Gage flinched with a start at the sudden words behind him, his assistant having mysteriously appeared yet again. He turned around eyes narrowing a bit in annoyance, though also in part due to just feeling tired from how much running around he’d been doing at work. Whoever said being the boss was easy had no clue what they were talking about. “Hells Yesuntei, how many times do I have to tell you not to do that?” Erick remarked while smoothing out his suit with both hands, straightening a few things here and there to make himself the immaculate businessman once more.

“Erick, you once sat down right beside me and then nearly jumped out of your skin when I said hello,” The soft-spoken Xaela replied with some bemusement in her voice.

“There were extenuating circumstances to that, and you know it, plus you were just sitting there so…quietly and you’re so unobtrusive. Most of the time.” Erick folded his arms in front of him, “Did you take care of the Zaran Account?” He asked trying to flip the narrative on his over achiever assistant for once.

She smiled brightly at him, “Yes, I’ve taken care of it already Erick. Speaking of which, there is some paperwork that needs your special touch in your office. I’ve taken the liberty of leaving a kettle of spiced cider for you, with an extra cup should a certain someone show up while you are busy with your work!” Her voice shifted to a tone that was the verbal equivalent of a wink wink with the last part.

Erick briefly frowned, not wanting to be tied down by a mountain of paperwork right now, given he knew it couldn’t be anything that needed down right this instant. He considered telling Yesuntei he’d get to it later, but she did say there was spiced cider, and she knew a really good recipe. Plus, it would be stone cold if he left it till later, leaving a cup for Meya was thoughtful even if it was an unlikely event since Meya was no doubt busy herself in the infirmary.

He drew in a breath, “Alright, I’ll take care of it Yesuntei. Good work.”

She smiled back at Erick, “Thank you I’m sure you’ll be quite pleased!”

Erick gave her a perplexed look, that was an odd way of putting it, then again Yesuntei could be a tad odd at times. Bracing himself, he turned and headed towards his office looking forward to the Cider if nothing else.

-------------------------------------------

When Erick got to his office, he found that there was indeed a kettle of steaming cider and two mugs on saucers awaiting him. Though instead of a mountain of paperwork greeting him there was simply one document upon his desk. A very straightforward and short report from Yesuntei on the end of the month inventory ready for his signature.

“Well, this is a bit much more a single file, what’s her angle in this?” He mused to himself, reading through the document, and having made sure that everything was in order gave it his signature.

He heard the door slide shut and looked up to see Meya entering, “Yesuntei said there was something you needed to see me about Erick?” She sounded tired herself, helping with the inventory in the infirmary could certainly do that.

Erick smirked as he put everything together and knew exactly what Yesuntei had done, “I didn’t have anything pressing, but if you aren’t busy Meya maybe you’d join me for some fresh cider Yesuntei made for us?”

Meya looked to the kettle a moment before she smiled, “That sounds delightful.”

-------------------------------------

Meanwhile outside of Erick’s Office Yesuntei  had shown up after Meya had entered. She assumed a spot in front of the door to prevent anyone from entering. While she could be an overachiever, she certainly understood when people might be working too hard and could use a small break to unwind.
