[Weegee]

I GET ALONG WITH THE VOICES INSIDE OF MY HEAD

It was a dull and dreary day, but one that kind of thing didn't stop Weegee in the slightest. The white-clothed monk stood in the area known as the Windsor Castle Grounds. He perched on the top of a large pillar in the gate surrounding the castle, surveying the land as he sipped at his cup of water. Below several scores of monsters lay in wait, some looking up at him with an eager desire brimming behind their now water-logged eyes, while others merely walked around looking for easier prey to fight. A few Lesser Soil Golems stood as sentinels under him, having not felt his presence pass from his current seat. "Good thing I can read the ranges of those Treants. I don't much care for dodging sap all day. Even in the rain." A crack of lightning brightened the dark sky, revealing plenty other monsters in the gloom beyond, and very few, if any, other players.

Looking around, he viewed each creature in turn as he activated his Evaluate ability. "Lesser Soil Golems, levels varying in degree from eleven to fifteen, mostly level twelve and fourteen. Weak to Earth, Water and Wind based attacks, though they resist physical attacks. I'll be working at them for a long time if I wish to fight them. The other option is the long range attacker, the Forest Treant. Once I get past their Sap Shot attack, if I can avoid it completely of course, I can easily deal with the other methods it possesses. Seed Cannon shots will hurt if I take the damage for too long, but if I can continue to force the Treant to turn I can outlast it. The best method of attack is from the rear, however it possesses Seismic Detection like most other monsters here, so only through the air am I most safe." He laughed slightly as he stood up on the stone pillar. "Guess that means I'm a lucky one today."

[Nala]

A simple walk through a flower garden. Was that too much to ask for? The apparent answer to that was yes when a drop of cool water on her cheek caused Nala to look up toward the sky. Sure, there had been a few threatening clouds that morning, but it didn't seem like anything she would have to worry about at first. The day before had been so bright and sunny after all, how could it suddenly turn so bad so quickly? Of course this type of thinking was what caused her to go on outside without an umbrella, jacket, or anything other than her starting gear. "Nooo, don't tell me..."

Feeling a second drop, followed by a third and fourth in quicker succession, Nala flailed as the sky told her anyway of the coming storm. Not wanting to get completely drenched, she took off running to search for cover. In the middle of a field of flowers though, it wasn't going to do her much use unless she were the size of a ladybug. "Whyyyy! Why do you do this!?" She didn't know who she was talking to, no one really, but sometimes shouting at nothing just made everything a little better. It wasn't too difficult running through the monster's paths since most of them were well enough under her level that they left her alone to pass. Some were simply aggressive though and tried to give her chase, which was where being an enchantress came in hand for her. Using her Astro Hypnosis pretty much kept her out of any delay she might have had otherwise with the bests, giving her enough time to get out of their range so they lost interest in the pursuit.

"EEK!!" Even as a large castle came into view, it was too late, a cold drizzle starting to wet her hair and clothes- the thunderous lightning making her yelp. Squinting her eyes, she saw something move on top of a pillar, not noticing it before since it held a slightly similar color because of day basking everything into a similar shade of grey. At first she wasn't sure what it was, but as the sound of laughter drifted down, her ears perked up in excitement. Another person! This was perfect, Maybe they would have prepared for the weather better than she had, hopefully over prepared. "Excuse meee! Hellu!" Waving an arm in greeting, she sidestepped around one of the golems to keep from having to fight it. Running to stand under the pillar, she looked up at the guy with big blue eyes, a sudden thought popping up into her head at the sight of him from close, "You know, you kind of look like a superhero standing guard up there." It was a little random, but a compliment as she smiled up to him.
