First Steps | Ingus and Faris
ingustaejin:
A smile began to form at the corner of his lips, as the battle began to unfold according to plan. Clash after clash Faris’ nimble form was pushed further back into the linear darkness of the cave. Light was soon becoming a problem for Ingus, so much so that he couldn’t make out her exact figure when it came time to deliver the skyward strike. As soon as his blade met the thinness of...

Birds of a Feather | Bartz and Faris
bartztaejin:
Bartz smiled widely relieved by her response. “Glad to hear. I like being straight forward if possible. And of course you are also welcome to be as straight with me as you wanna be.” He stole another glance at her and grinned to himself. ‘Well, maybe I should hold back a few compliments for later. Don’t want to overwhelm her or anything… Okay, just one more.’ “‘Though, I really have...

Birds of a Feather | Bartz and Faris
bartztaejin:
Bartz couldn’t help noticing her blush even though she apparently tried to hide it from him. ‘Why is she embarassed?’ he wondered and frowned a little. ‘It can’t possibly be the first time someone told her she’s charming. Even if she was hiding her true identity all these years there must have been the occasional person she revealed her true self to, and surely they would have told...

serahtaejin:
Serah looked around the wreckage, hoping to find any sign of this being a good base camp, hearing Faris’s words, she moved her pale pink hair from her face, and turned to respond.
“Yeah that sounds like a plan, anything to help these poor people” Serah sighed with signs of worry leaping from every breath. They weaved themselves around the danger. Serah’s keen eyes studied the...

Birds of a Feather | Bartz and Faris
bartztaejin:
While working Bartz listened to her complaints about her families pompous behaviour. He smirked but decided to leave further discussion on that for another day. It just wouldn’t be right to talk back to a lady now, would it?
Finally, once she had told him her name as well - Faris, quite a cute name if it seemed a bit boy-ish - Bartz felt somewhat relieved. He’d wondered if he should...

Just Around the Riverbend | Faris and Yeul
yeultaejin:
Yeul’s calm green eyes rested on Faris, and she nodded, her expression remaining exactly the same as before. As if, why yes, she had indeed been waiting to meet one such as her this entire time. Whether or not that was true could be disputed, but the fact that there was little that could cause a shift in this petite girl’s countenance was hardly up for debate.
“I am Paddra Nsu-Yeul....

Birds of a Feather | Bartz and Faris
bartztaejin:
Bartz was actually quite surprised by her reaction. He had antitcipated some laughter, and possibly some flushing. But then he had expected her to banter and tell him to stop it because this was what she was running away from.
Getting invited to dinner while definitely not unwanted was a surprise though. His eyes widened for a moment while he wondered whether it was just a jest or a...

Birds of a Feather | Bartz and Faris
bartztaejin:
Bartz listened to her story and nodded once in a while. “Joining a bunch of pirates must have been pretty hard for a thirteen year old girl…” He shuddered for a moment when all kinds of horrible things that could have happened flew through his mind but then made himself smile at her “Well, I sure am glad you made it and made a pretty good life of it!” He hesitated for a moment. “Or…...

First Steps | Ingus and Faris
ingustaejin:
Anger and determination riled within Ingus, coursing through his veins and heating his muscles. Once back on his feet, Ingus heaved a deep breath and focused his eyes on Faris. Just like Father…. The phantom of his dad flashed before his eyes, along with the nostalgic smell of sweated bodies. This woman was no beast, not by a long shot, so fighting her would require a little more...

Physical Therapy | Basch and Faris
baschtaejin:
Nodding in understanding, Basch sighed and said “There’s similar stories everywhere Faris. Pulse has changed, and it appears for the worst.” Stretching his neck, he stared straight ahead as if in a trance. “Both my parents died long ago, my father raised me and my brother for a time before he too passed. The highlands are a different place than it is down here. You hunt to survive,...

Bartz listened to her explanations and absent mindedly kept patting Boko’s head.
“To be honest, pretty much all I know about pirates is hearsay” he started to explain. “I mean, I never actually saw any of them burn towns or any of that. And I don’t think I ever met any either - well apart from you guys. But I guess you know the rumors. With the eye patches and stuff. Did any of your...

Thanks, guys!

First Steps | Ingus and Faris
ingustaejin:
Ingus wasn’t surprised to see his attacks met with skilled blocks and forceful parries. When their blades finally locked, Ingus concentrated most of his strength into his legs, and made a show of his strength. Despite this, Ingus still found himself trying to maintain his foothold as he was pushed back. Once recovered, Ingus observed as Faris raised her blade above her head. “…….”...

Serah smiled at Faris when she realized they were almost there, she hunched over her chocobo to stop the wind getting to her, Serah pulled her chocobo forcing it to slow; responding to Faris’s orders.
Serah watched Faris’s purple hair glisten in the sunlight, as she slowed down, “That sounds like a plan, I hope everybody is okay down there!” Serah said with a sigh of sadness.

bartztaejin:
She seemed satisfied with his explanation and started to pace through the the stables. And he couldn’t stop himself from watching her, even when Boko apparently started to feel neglected and nudged him slightly all he did was pet the birds head to satisfy him not taking an eye of the woman in front of him. She turned back to him and inquired what he remembered about their mutual...

First Steps | Ingus and Faris
ingustaejin:
Ingus nodded, and trained his eyes on the captain. Based on her stance, and weapon, it is reasonable for me to assume that she will be very light on her feet. Given that this area strictly limits movement, one might assume that I would have the upper hand. Judging by the numerous factors that put her above me, I’ll just go ahead and deny that observation.
Ingus slid his...

Honestly, the amount of embarrassment Tifa felt was extraordinary. She’d never forgotten something as important as her glove before. But that’s what happens when you have then hooked into your belt.

”Sounds like a plan.” Zack said, as he stretched his arms. “I’ll head down first, see you in the morning.” And with that, he grabbed the end of the railing, and jumped down to the deck below. He didn’t bother waiting up for Faris and just headed straight to the bunks, taking the top one for himself. Within moments, he was out like a light, the hammocks way comfier that they should...

During his somewhat incoherent thought and speaking process he noticed her blushing slightly which only added to her beauty he realized. And becoming aware of his thoughts he felt himself redden as well. While he surely wasn’t a shy person he always got a bit flustered the first time around certain girls. Or probably women would be the better term. He should stop thinking off women...

Serah contemplated how long it had been since they set off. She watched as the light slowly dissolved the darkness, which washed away all of the darkness around them. The wind continued to whip Serah’s face as they picked up more speed, she kept her eyes focused on Faris and followed her.
How hectic will it actually be? Will it be as bad as they mission briefing had mentioned? Serah...

Bartz felt confident for a moment but even before Faris stuttered a few incomprehensible thoughts he started to have his doubts. ‘No, this doesn’t work out… Did he even have a sister? And if so, I didn’t meet her, I’m sure. How would she know what I look like?’ Then Faris changed her posture and announced “Are ye sure about that answer? Y’might want to think it over.” At first Bartz...

Serah felt a sudden burst of confidence when Faris said this. An uncontrollable smile managed to slip out of Serah’s mouth, “I’m sure with practice I will be able to keep myself alive… us alive” Serah said whilst readjusting her seat on the chocobo.
The bitter wind continued to scratch Serah’s face as they made their journey, the scratching of the wind only made her more worried...

First Steps | Ingus and Faris
ingustaejin:
Ingus listened intently to the Captains explanation, surprised to find that it had only taken a month for her to attain her title.
It wasn’t long until they found themselves in the inner workings of HQ, with several active training rooms at their immediate disposal. Ingus followed Faris into one of them, and stood in the corner as per her instructions.
“…………?!”
All of a sudden, the...

Birds of a Feather | Bartz and Faris
bartztaejin:
Suddenly she seemed to turn her full attention towards him which made the Chocobo she was just petting a bit upset as far as he could tell. Also for some reason he got a bit uneasy because her eyes seemed to be not just looking at him but mustering him. Maybe he was just too used to being inspected by officers by now. “Well,” she began, “I think I can narrow it down at least a bit....

Serah began making herself comfortable on the chocobo, her small hands stroking the soft golden feathers of this magnificent creature.
Her mind had wondered back to her worry of her mission, she started to think if the army had realized that she was very nervous and worried for her mission? Or even worse, had Faris begun to realize that Serah may need to rely on her more than she...

bartztaejin:
Well, he got a conversation starting and that did count for something. So she was a soldier, and as Chief of the Commandos far from his runt rank already. Well, he would have guessed not all superiors would look as buff as Captain Basch. Looks can be misleading, in monsters as in humans. ‘Basch might rip my head right off but I’m sure she could do stuff just as bad to me.’

Serah followed Faris to the pair of illuminating chocobo’s, she watched as they fluttered their eye lashes, watching the world go by, having a care free attitude.
Serah began to worry whether she would be okay on the battlefield, as she didn’t want to have to rely on Faris too much. She should be stronger than this!

For only a moment, Faris seemed to get a look that he knew a bit too well. But before he could confirm it or ask, she was dragging Zack over to some ropes and climbing fast while throwing a few taunts his way. He chuckled before jumping up and grabbing some ropes a few feet off the ground. “Give me a second here, we can’t all be monkeys” he laughed.
He climbed the ropes quickly,...

Physical Therapy | Basch and Faris
baschtaejin:
Taking the canteen from Faris, Basch sat on the ground leaning against a tree and had a drink. She was managing the axe fine, but the weapon was slightly too large for her height, if she kept going the way she was she will hurt herself after a while.
Passing the bottle back, he responded to Faris’ question, “I’m a commando primarily, but fighting with a shield has caused me to...

First Steps | Ingus and Faris
ingustaejin:
Ingus resisted the urge to salute when Faris entered the room, yet yielded to the instinct of erecting his back. Excalibur clinked softly against the tip of Ingus’ steel gauntlets, as it hung idly from his belt. At her order, they left her house and departed for the training center.
He remained close to Faris as they weaved their way around Oerba. She was far more coordinated than...

Zack pouted as his friend showed off in front of him. Faris looked like she wasn’t even phased by the movement at all. She was already moving around the boat and he couldn’t even stand yet without holding onto the rail. He watched her leave and focused getting on to standing when the boat started properly moving, and he grabbed onto the railing tighter. He wasn’t afraid of the boat at...

She examined Faris, her petite features stood out to Serah. She was beautiful! Serah remembered that Faris was a sentinel, this...

“Er, don’t have a chocobo myself,” she admitted, “just felt like spending some time with the birds.” Bartz just nodded in response and watched her pet another chocobo.

Bartz shot her another glance trying...

Taejin Mission 043: Establishing Sanctuary | Faris...
The call for the mission had gone out late at night, or rather early morning, and it was pure luck that Faris’s sleep was unusually light that night, light enough to be roused by the noise of the message. The emergency summons to HQ was more than enough to get her out of bed after that.
The entire atmosphere of HQ was tense when she arrived. It was also, she realized, the busiest she had...

Shrugging, Basch responded to Faris’ remarks with indifference, “I recently had a bit of a run in with a King Behemoth. The guards were just a precaution I guess. The Army doesn’t take kindly to deserters.”Following the woman to the tree’s, he watched her take a swing at the tree. To his surprise, she managed to make a dent in the timber. Moving to a nearby tree, he stretched a little...

Zack chuckled as his friend ran back to the deck. Faris seemed to belong on a boat, which wasn’t all that surprising from when they “borrowed” the airship. Before Faris, Zack had only seen experts even get the things of the ground but she had done that and flown it her first time. He moved to join his friend, briefly going over the mission in his head.
So all we have to do is meet the...

Since he happened to have some time to spare Bartz had decided to spend some time with Boko. He had neglected his chocobo due to the work for the army which was occupying more and more of his time. But he was getting used to it and Boko fared well enough on his own being surrounded by other birds which wasn’t the norm for him. And he was confident enough the bird would not be...

Commandant Auriga’s POV:
It had been a while since the commandant had entered the ceremonial hall. The army had been so consumed in missions, there hadn’t been the time or a reason to celebrate. Even now, the briefing room was receiving distress calls once every one or two hours, and recruits were hailing to Oerba to offer their service to the army’s cause. It was never a dull...

Yeul seemed to hesitate for a moment, then reached up with delicate fingers to lift the dripping flower crown from its savior’s head. She then placed it on her lap, treating it as if it were a delicate wisp of dust that would explode into nothing at the slightest agitation. With a tantamount gentleness, the girl began to dab the trinket dry. Just when it seemed like she’d be taciturn...

Ingus accepted the glass of water with gratitude, and waited for Faris to finish speaking before downing it. The smooth liquid slipped over his tongue, and eased his somewhat clogged esophagus.

Faris scuffed her feet on the dirt road. Her daily life was getting busier and busier. Being a Captain had already added to her normal soldier duties. And on top of that the army had been flooded with new arrivals for some strange reason.
She smiled despite all this. Thanks for her recent mission with Zack she had gained a new found appreciation for her life in Oerba. For the first time in a long...

It took a moment to absorb what the woman was saying, partly due to her accent, and partly due to the various information that she provided him with. Ingus wiped his brow with the cuff of his sleeve, and set his sword and shield down beside the door. A Pirate..? And a leader of her very own vessel to boot. Interesting.
This information eased any qualms he had with her apparent...

The splash that resulted from the other’s dive into the lake threw shining droplets into the air, which rained down softly upon Yeul.

For another thing, she and her companion weren’t setting out in the odd hours of the night. Her mission...

He hadn’t noticed it before due to his deep concentration on the possible crime scene behind her.

Knowing that this action was beyond rash, he held his instinctive muscles back. The unidentified woman began to speak, in a...

He briefly wondered who the woman was at the door, but denounced her to be a personal guard of...
