The Challenge: The Final Boss
@thighhighsandgoldeneyes from here!
-------------
Rafaele did his best to fend off all attacks - and he was doing a pretty good job of countering, from what Kamiizumi could tell. Every blow both men exchanged with their swords kept blocking the other’s from really hitting.
Zael’s sneak attack was enough to get Rafaele’s attention from Kamiizumi. Rafaele tried to slash at Zael in a wide arc, and Lana used the opportunity to fire an electric spell at him.
Rafaele teleported out of the way - just before the attack could hit. Lana hissed, before turning to punch Rafaele - who had reappeared right behind her!
“All the freakin’ teleporting isn’t helping things.” Lana grumbled. She managed to get a hit on Rafaele’s jaw. Rafaele stumbled back before taking out a few knives, throwing them at her. Lana threw herself out of the way, but one of them tore at her sleeve, while another one managed to nick Kamiizumi in the right shoulder.
“Honestly, I’d be interested in gagging him. Might prevent him from taunting our ears off.” Kamiizumi muttered, glancing toward Dagran before moving in to try to get a hit at Rafaele again. Rafaele dodged, before using telekinesis to knock the sword out of Kamiizumi’s hand. The Swordmaster, however, used the opportunity to try to dive in at Rafaele and half-tackle him down. Rafaele barely dodged, but also tripped a bit. He didn’t fall, however, as he managed to regain balance.
“Andddd looks like things are turning more toward close combat! Oooh!” Nuriel was commentating quite cheerily, a stark contrast to the current battle going on. “Let’s go, finalists!! It seems like Rafaele’s keeping up well with them, but who knows what will happen!?”
Lana fired another spell at Rafaele- a frosty one - but Rafaele deflected it by summoning a magical shield. The spell went off flying toward Dagran instead but barely missed him, flying above his head.
“Sorry!” Lana was heard yelling, just before Rafaele let out a laugh.
“Is that all you got? Looks like I need to make things a bit more interesting, then!” As if on cue, music started up in the background, and the wind began to kick up harshly. The sound of clouds rumbling caught Lana’s attention, and she cursed as she felt it get harder to stay standing.
“Ah, fuck! He’s gonna sing!”
Kamiizumi managed to retrieve his sword. “Brace yourselves...!”
Rafaele’s eyes glowed briefly, before rain started pouring - just a little bit at first, but then it got heavier. Kamiizumi nor Lana could understand the language being sung, but it was singing, alright. Lana tried to fire a spell at Rafaele, but missed after she slipped on the now-soaked ground. Rafaele threw more knives - at Zael, at Dagran - before teleporting back toward the stage area as the rain kept on pouring.

@ribbedxgloves gets a visit to the tavern!
“WAITTTT!!!! Stop, stop the ship! We can rest over at that port’s tavern! I’ve been there before, I know it’s good!”
And so Nuriel led everyone to the tavern after they docked the ship. They were on the way back to Azami’s palace so they would be there in time for the engagement ball celebrating Azami and Sean’s engagement, but it was getting pretty dark and needed a place to land for now. They would finish the journey and get back tomorrow.
Nuriel was the one that opened the doors, before his voice boomed throughout the tavern. And that was saying something, given that the tavern was pretty busy with patrons drinking and chatting with each other.
“Loreley!? Hope you don’t mind me and my companions coming through!”
A woman looked to them, dressed in a long, green skirt, long-sleeved white blouse with a brown bodice. Her blonde hair was tied back, though there were a few bangs tucked behind her ear, out of the way of her face.
“Nuriel? It’s been so long!” She came forwards to greet them, smiling. “I hope you’ve been well?”
“Yeah, I’m good. I see you’re doing well, too—Do you have any rooms? We need a place to stay for the night.”
“You’re in luck. We have four rooms left this evening.”
“Perfect. We’ll take all four, split the rooms amongst ourselves. Oh, and we’ll need meals for tonight and for tomorrow morning.”
“I’ll have my ladies prepare the rooms for you. In the meantime, do feel free to sit, order some drinks and your evening’s meals. Enjoy yourselves, all of you!”
As she went to go inform her workers, Nuriel looked to the others, grinning. “I know her—she owns the place. Came through here and stayed for a bit, once, while she was also working here at the time, and now she’s the tavernkeeper!”
“Really?” Nobutsuna blinked. He’d never really been to a tavern before, so this was new. “That’s interesting. How long ago was this when you knew her?”
“We go pretty far back. Over..twelve years, now? Please, excuse me.” Nuriel quickly went towards the back of the main floor, and Nobutsuna noticed that the ladies (and men) back there were more scantily dressed. Probably the prostitutes, he guessed.
“I knew he was gonna buy them drinks.” Tahirah managed, chuckling. “Nuriel does that every time we stop at a tavern for the night. He buys them all one round of whatever drink they want…”

“So, Loreley, Ingrid—why? Why hide yourself from me all this time?”
“Because I wasn’t sure. I was scared, back then...and you and I had just met at the time. I wasn’t sure if I could trust you, but...hiding who I was from you...wasn’t right, either. I’m sorry.”
“But now that you’ve told me—I’m glad you did. And I understand your situation. Is there...any way I can help you?”
“The two of us talking this out is...it’s helping. And thank you, for this.”

@ashesstxries got a starter for VEX
Tahirah had been interested -interested in seeing what the other could do. And in order to assess the other’s skills for an operation she wanted to hire the other for, she had a very specific set of two rooms for the other to go through and complete whatever activities were there.
“Welcome to the first room~!” Nuriel grinned as he pointed at the door ahead. “The person inside will tell you what you have to accomplish in there. I’m just standing out here for morale support in case you fail. Good luck!”
Moral support would come in the form of encouraging notes, apparently. Nuriel had a whole stack of them ready as he grinned at the other, waiting for them to step through the door and enter the first room.

@iincantatorum from here
“Powerful, talented, and promising. Very nice that you had an answer ready immediately.” Nuriel seemed to appear in front of Eros only seconds afterward, a sheepish grin on his face. “What did you think of the echo effect? It sounded like I was off in the woods, but I was actually only a few feet away from you in the bushes!”
“Did you have to try it on Eros of all people?” Arlyn walked over with a sigh. “Tahirah will be coming to see you shortly, but she sent us ahead so you wouldn’t be lonely. So, here we are.”
“Andddd if you’re wondering why she sent us ahead of her, it’s because she had to talk to her godfather about a few things and answer a few somewhat urgent letters.” Nuriel finished, shrugging lightly. “So, is there anything you want to ask US about before Tahirah comes along? We know allll sorts of things.”

"CHEERSSSS!!!"
Nuriel, Arlyn, Tahirah, and Starling all raised their glasses in the toast before downing the contents of their glass. Nuriel essentially chugged his entire glass down, while Arlyn, Tahirah, and Rafaele took polite (but big) sips. Starling just sipped at it several times before trying to down the rest in one go.
"And now we eat, right?" Nuriel asked.
"Yes, that's usually how this goes." Starling noted, nodding once.
Rafaele sighed. "We're at a banquet. Remember manners."
"Hey! I've had years of practice!"
Despite Nuriel's protests, Arlyn couldn't help but chuckle.
"I'm sure we'll be fine. Let's eat, shall we? Which dish to start with...?"

"Okay, so," Nuriel looked toward everyone, "How do we wanna spend our time here at the ball? I wanna go for the food."
"I want to get some dancing done." Tahirah managed, "But I also want to talk to others too, and get to know them. It could be good for us."
"As long as we don't do anything terribly wrong, that is." Rafaele added.
Arlyn chuckled a bit, shaking his head. "I'm sure we can manage to find time for all of that...especially the dancing."

Summer Sunset-exclusive open starter
"Where is it!? Where are those chocobo petting stations...?" Tahirah checked the map, just before Arlyn spoke up.
"I believe they're located at the farmer's market...Wiz's station, they said?"
"Yeah, but where's the farmer's market?" Nuriel stared around, frowning. "Are we lost? Oh, we're definitely lost."
"I think it's up ahead." Rafaele pointed ahead of the group. Cue the others turning to see -
"Oh. You're right." Tahirah beamed up at Rafaele. "Thank you, godfather! Let's get going!"
And so, the group arrived at the farmer's market, eager to pet chocobos...

Summer Sunset-exclusive open starter
Countess Tahirah Zakiyaa was bouncing on her heels with pure excitement. This was it, the Summer Sunset! Herself, the Starling, her godfather Rafaele, and her two advisors Arlyn and Nuriel had already checked into their lodgings for the event. Things were only getting started, but the group of five figured they should wander the local area and get a scope of their surroundings..
"This is so huge!" Tahirah's jaw dropped at seeing the whole area. Sure, things were still being set up, but still!
"We can expect it to get quite crowded later." Rafaele noted, frowning. "Would be best to stick together."
"Mm, I agree~" A chuckle left the Starling - who was currently hidden under a hooded cloak, a signature style of hers.
"Can we at least get some food to start off?" Nuriel asked, glancing toward Tahirah. "I mean, we're gonna be here for a while so I think we should take the time to partake in everything possible."
"Let's be careful not to overstuff ourselves," Arlyn murmured, just before Tahirah nodded, smiling wide.
"Food it is! Which vendors should we approach first!?"

"A party!? A PARTY!" Tahirah was looking through her wardrobe. "oh, what do I wear?"
"Remember, it's supposed to be formal, so we must dress appropriately." Rafaele reminded his goddaughter. He frowned. "Perhaps I should have something custom-made..."
"I'm wearing a dress. No one's stopping me." Arlyn decided.
Nuriel just eyed Arlyn. "Oooh...I look forward to that~"
"Behave, you two." Rafaele sternly reminded them. "The last thing I want is a scandal or great accident breaking out because of you two."
"We'll be on our best behaviour, promise~"
"Starling's coming too, right?" Tahirah mused, glancing toward her godfather. "I wonder how she'll appear..."
"She promised to meet up with us at the beginning of the festivities so we could enter together." Rafaele explained. "Whatever she wears, I'm sure she got the memo." Besides, it'd be unlike her to not dress appropriately for formal parties, of all things...

Arlyn is internally screaming as he rifles through many papers.
Nuriel stared. “Arlyn? Love? Are you okay?”
“HOW MANY SUITORS HAVE WE GONE THROUGH!?”
Arlyn’s scream echoed through the room, and Nuriel tried to count.
“Er....dunno. Lost count after Tahirah turned nineteen?”
“Probably over five-hundred people.” Arlyn stared up at Nuriel. “Do you realize how many people we’ve had to give the harsh rejection to?”
Nuriel just kept on staring back at him. “All five hundred?”
The icy advisor scratched the back of his head. “Well...not that many, but at least 75% of them.”
Nuriel’s jaw dropped. “Were we really that harsh with the rejection process!? I mean, I only sic’d a bear on a few of them - “
“Yeah, but I think we gave all 75% of them death threats.” Arlyn let a low whistle leave him. “Are we going too extreme on this? Do we need to scale it back a bit?”
“But we have to make sure they’re, like, the one. Or ones, I guess, if Tahirah pursues polyamorous romance - “
While Nuriel and Arlyn are tossing this increasingly-wild conversation back and forth, both fail to realize that Tahirah is listening in and quietly laughing at the hilarity of it all.

“The weather outside is frightful, but the fire inside’s delightful...” Tahirah hummed, just before hearing the roar of flames behind her.
“Wha!?”
“Sorry!” Nuriel was trying to put out a fire that HE made himself - on one of the rugs. Once again, he’d probably gotten too excited about something and out came the flames - a semi-common occurrence in Melodia Castle. “I’ll fix this!”
Tahirah couldn’t help but chuckle slightly. “Be careful!”

“Man, my life before being bodyguard and advisor to Countess Tahirah? I have a lot of wild stories. I’ve met some of the shadiest people ever, and some of the most genuine during my times working at taverns and other places. Mainly taverns, though. You meet a lot of different people at taverns...”

“You know, if people have horns, does that mean they’re automatically horn-y...?”
Cue Arlyn clearly groaning from the corner over the other’s remark. “Nuriel, no...”
