Annexation of some land returned to the native peoples by the prior administration. That's a story with a familiar ring to any Amerindian, steeped in the grisly tales of life before the Native American Nations were founded. It makes Reiya even more eager to track down this Volkov and ruin the drekh...

ReiyaEmm

An enchanter? Interesting , Reiya thinks, pleased to have another magic user around, especially one that does very different work from her own. The shaman stares at Sam a bit longer with her enigmatic shaman expression for good measure, hiding her interest, and then swivels back to the exchange betw...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya has been listening intently, fighting the flashbacks kindled by the bare description of the new virus. The shaman's intrusive memories are finally halted by the mention of Lassa virus, and she mind turns incisive, considering whether her tribe and family could have been infected with something...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya is an absolute mess. Aside from the drain on her body and mental acuity from the layered debacles of the freighter, their proximity to another pandemic reawakens the memories of her tribe's decimation. Busy running with the crew, even in the midst of their insane escapades, Reiya felt she was ...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya flaps her wings, irritated by all of the gunfire, however necessary. Manaball was not the searing attack she hoped it would be, but in hindsight, it makes sense, given the state of the Risen. Time to try something new , she muses, rising and extending her wings because it feels like the right ...

ReiyaEmm

As she'd hoped, Reiya loses her motion sickness as soon as she's changed shape. She takes a moment to revel in relief before quickly grooming and checking her feathers. Then she's ready to go. Of course, they're soon in an elevator and then an elevator shaft, which is not conducive to air travel. Th...

ReiyaEmm

Though hugely sympathetic to Mick's suffering, it's all Reiya can do to keep herself from heaving. Irritated at her seemingly perpetual nausea, she holds her nose, takes a breath, and lets it out a few times. Sure, let's get this over with, the shaman agrees to Mick's suggestion. But you should know...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya is incredibly grateful that Achak was ready to help Axel when she wasn't. But she also feels a sting of shame; she 's the mage on the rigger's team, not Achak. Yet between the rocking of the boat, the dead bodies, and that sweet cloying smell she keeps detecting, it's all she can do to keep he...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya HATES boats. Absolutely hates them. She'd felt queasy going to and from Alcatraz, of course, but those were short trips, and neither of them involved a literal shitstorm. After heaving herself dry, the shaman's been following along and trying to quell her raging stomach, with no energy to even...

ReiyaEmm

Once her initial hunger and thirst are sated, Reiya keeps eating and drinking out of sheer delight; the food's great, liquid's still important, and life feels pretty good. Unlike Yung, she's not at all conflicted about the results of her vision quest. Really, she feels as if she has both new directi...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya is surprised that the Bat mentions Mick, but not at all surprised by the mentor spirit’s warning. She’s sensed the edges of Mick’s power, and her expression turns grave. Not at Mick and their potential, but rather at the prospect of having to guide them. The shaman knows that she can be patien...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya exults in the elation of being connected to thousands of spirits; of nature and elements, of ancestors and kindred. She rides the feeling until it settles into a comfortable warmth, and then flexes her fingers, as if sensing the tree lingering within her. It does, sort of: her limbs are stiff,...

ReiyaEmm

Jealous, are you? Reiya asks with a grin, knowing that her mentor spirit appreciates a bit of informal banter. No need. Friend is the right word for her. But is it? The way the two of you talked just now was almost familial, as if you were aunt and niece rather than newly acquainted. Are you trying...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya parts from Yung and walks along the silent plains for a time. Even with a deep night sky above, the silence is eerie, and would trouble Reiya if she didn’t know it to be an illusion. Soon enough, a short-tailed nighthawk flies overhead. Not long after, Reiya hears the sounds of small mammals s...

ReiyaEmm

Vision Quest in the Sauna: Part II Ready to begin, Yung grabs one of the teacups, holding it out in front of himself, over the heat radiating off of the stones. He locks eyes with Reiya, waiting for her instruction or any final words. No tea yet, she cautions with another smile. Let yourself relax ...

ReiyaEmm

Joint post: Yung and Reiya getting ready for their vision quest On the second morning at Blue Dog Ranch, much to Yung’s surprise, he finds a small package with his name written on it waiting outside the guest chateau. He brings it inside, carefully peeling back the wax wrapping paper, revealing sev...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya’s not nearly as pissed off about being stuck in FreeCal as everyone else. She’s got nowhere she wants to return to, and as she discovered after their last run, hanging out around the other members of her team is oddly comforting, even if they’re not actually interacting with either. But like Y...

ReiyaEmm

The shaman breathes out a deep sigh of relief as the last enemy target disappears. It’s not quite over, but it feels like the worst is past. She knows how dangerous that feeling can be, and she knows they’ve still got to get to the escape boat, but the immediate crisis is past. Reiya takes a moment ...

ReiyaEmm

The shaman is certainly pleased by the barrier on the beach, and by the small tributes of the two teammates who clearly know what it is. But Reiya won’t take credit for another’s work; it’s all Sanasatasamara’s doing, and she is profoundly grateful. What she doesn’t expect, however, is the tingling ...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya puts the crossbow away, annoyed at her repeated misses. Magic it is, then , she thinks to herself, with a slight smile. The smile vanishes when the kiosk, a structure of little significance until then, opens up, revealing a heavy machine gun barrel. And here they are, on the beach, with little...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya watches Achak's handling of the astral bubble with approval. Leaving him to handle the enemy mage, Reiya sets her sights on the injured soldier that Axel's been fighting, aiming for the neck.

(( Shooting barbed bolt at Kojima. ))

ReiyaEmm

Reiya sees the fight begin and immediately reaches for her crossbow. She loads one of the barbed arrowheads and aims for the thigh of an enemy fighter still relatively distant from Mick and Achak.

ReiyaEmm

Reiya's been listening to the tactical discussions to try and figure out if her offer to call on Sanasatasamara is indeed being taken up, or if they're on to a different scheme. Working as a team may be the only way to handle an extraction like this, but there are times when she misses working on he...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya smiles in delighted surprise at Achak's greeting in her native language, but the conversation shifts too quickly for her to reply at first. Once they leave the barren cell, however, and she sees the relief in Achak's face at no longer being bereft of magic and astral presence, the shaman gets ...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya has been standing without moving, crossbow at her side, unable to move or think clearly. It’s a good thing not all of them are similarly afflicted, and that the crab-thing has been neutralized. She’s not even sure how. Helplessness may be the feeling Reiya hates most, and it seeps into her her...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya finally understands how Mouse felt when the network went out, or whatever it was that caused the data she and Axel are constantly keyed into to disappear. A place impenetrable to spirits is anathema to her. She’s been in plenty of places without traces of astral energy, but there was always th...

ReiyaEmm

Following both the words and steps of her comrades, Reiya feels the relief of combat successfully concluded ebb away, leaving room for an incoming tide of anxiety and fear. If she'll let it in. She won't. The shaman breathes and focuses on her steps. It is the flash of a firefly in the night, she re...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya holds the crossbow at her side and breathes a small, largely inward sigh of relief. One more skirmish accomplished with none of her pack injured further. That's a win. The shaman watches Mouse almost-fall and catch herself in time, while also coming in direct contact with the congealing gore o...

ReiyaEmm

As the guard reels back from Yung's strike and Reiya hears the crack, she sights her crossbow on the heavily damanged guard and fires another standard bolt.

ReiyaEmm

As her comrades dig into combat, Reiya pulls her crossbow off her back and loads one of her standard bolts. Seeing Thoryne wound one of the guards, she aims for the injured guard's neck and fires.

ReiyaEmm

Reiya eyes the riot gear sported by these particular soldiers. It gives her an idea; one they likely won't expect, without doing ay lasting damage to prisoners caught in the cross-fire. She smiles and casts.

(( Cast Hot Potato at Force 6, centered on the soldier in the middle. ))

ReiyaEmm

Seeing the warmth in Luis' expression and tone, Reiya relaxes and smiles at their new comrade. Can you use this? she asks in a low voice, indicating the crossbow on her back. I'll be using spellcraft from here on out. She looks down at his legs, assessing. I can also use it to heal you if you really...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya doesn’t waste a moment, dropping the barrier she’s been holding and conjuring a manaball instead. She directs it just over the kurokaze’s head, hoping to maximize damage with a headshot while lessening the chances of killing one of the poor sods in the cages.

(( Cast Manaball at Force 4 ))

ReiyaEmm

The shaman winces at the ache in her head, hoping this doesn't bode ill for further spellcasting. She's all right, though. Tell me when you want me to drop the barrier, she says quietly. I can't hit him with a manaball if he's too close to the cages; could take out the people in them. Until we know ...

ReiyaEmm

Reiya had tensed, ready for action, and was somehow utterly stunned by the sharp sound from the elevator shaft. She looks up in time to see sparks rain down. The shaman closes her eyes and shakes her head, suddenly furious. Oh, fuck off, she mutters, casting a door-shaped barrier over the open door ...
