Hexapath Call Me Out Post

Sophie Summerhelm
Hexapath Travellers & Hexapath Future

Nerine Kamille
Hexapath Travellers & Hexapath Future

Plumeria Quinn
Hexapath Future

• Sophie Summerhelm, ex-sickly anime waif, certified Good Girl. She's the student of one of the original six heroes, Amelie the Legendary Alchemist. In Hexapath Travellers, she journeys Adelheld on a self-imposed quest to prove herself and her mastery of alchemy. After getting mixed up with the party, they overthrow a conspiracy, summon a god, right wrongs and triumph over evil, all that good stuff. In Hexapath Future she has now replaced the disgraced Amelie as the Royal Alchemist but instead of sticking to one place, she continues to travel Adelheld as she feels continuing to spread happiness with her alchemy is her true calling.
• Nerine Kamille, raised in an orphanage run and funded by the Church of Light. In Hexapath Travellers, she has grown up and taken over the orphanage herself after its previous director had left. Busy as she is, she often requests the Hexaparty run errands for her, but always gives them a bed for the night in return. In Hexapath Future, her orphanage has since closed down in the wake of the Church of Light's scandal. She now works as part of the Adventurer's Guild, handling requests made by citizens and tasks to be assigned to adventurers.
• Plumeria Quinn, née Hazel Haverschaft, is the pampered and educated daughter of a disgustingly rich family. In Hexapath Future, she rebels against her controlling and stifling parents by running away from home and becoming an adventurer to escape an abusive home and an arranged marriage. Has an enormous amount of in-depth theoretical knowledge but little to no practical experience or common sense. A haughty ojou-sama trying her very best.

This is a CMO post for playing out canon scenarios and storybeats with the Hexapath cast! Just drop a toplevel below for whoever you want to play with and let's get going!

sophie/marie's half of the tutorial?

[liveofftheland]

[Marie steps cautiously into the dungeon and looks around, taking aim with the crossbow on her wrist at something.]

I'm sure I don't need to tell you to be cautious in here. There are a lot of places for monsters to hide out.

[summerbloom]

Right!

[ Sophie's not quite as well armed as Marie – all she's good is a plain wooden staff, but it's solid and heavy and Sophie's... reasonably sure she'll be able to defend herself well enough with it. ]

Do you think there's gonna be a lot of them in here?

[liveofftheland]

It could be. Watch.

[She snaps an arrow forward from her bow and a rat creature falls from the shadows up ahead.]

If we get through enough of this, we'll be able to find the ingredients you need for that next project of yours.

skit

[ninjabanish]

[Once Alice is a proper ninja again, she seems to have kind of... forgotten, that people aren't used to magic ninjas.

Which is why she's sort of just... appearing. standing upside-down, hanging from a tree branch, like this is perfectly normal.]

Sophie. I have a question.

[summerbloom]

[ And Sophie probably would've been happy to answer that question, except what Alice gets instead is a shriek of surprise and Sophie almost jumping ten feet into the air. ]

Alice! [ her voice cracks. rip sophie. ] W–w–w–w–why are you in a tree?!

[ninjabanish]

... What is the problem?

[IS THIS NOT NORMAL]

sophie, shortly after aran joins the party

[thecageysort]

[So! Aran's a part of this weird little group now. It's safe to say no one saw this coming, least of all Aran himself. It's... not the smoothest transition, he's a little out of place. Honestly, it's... what's the word?

Uncomfortable.

That's just how it goes when you join up with the people you've been trying to kill for A While Now. Still! Life goes on, they still have a quest and everything, and things need to be taken care of. Such as buying supplies.

Somehow, it ended up being Aran and Sophie who got saddled with that, so out in town they are. This should be fun, right? It's a bonding experience!]

Keep moving. Don't dawdle.

[...Bondiiiiiing, yaaaaaaaay.]

[summerbloom]

Uuu...

[ Sophie's been doing her best. No one could ever say she hasn't. She's a born busybody, a peacemaker until her dying day, so all this heightened stress and tension in their group has been... interesting to deal with. No one's actively fighting anymore which is good but they're also not talking or looking at each other which is giving her premature gray hairs.

No offense, Aran.

So here she is, out on an outing with this large terrifying man, in the hopes she might be able to find something they can break the ice with.

It... it's not going well. ]

Uh, so... Mister Aran, um... h–have you been to this town before?

[ BABY STEPS... ]

[thecageysort]

[Aran is, for the most part, keeping his eyes forward as he walks. When Sophie talks, all she'll get is a single glance before he looks away again.]

Yes. I have.

[...Oh, that was it, that's all he's giving her.

I'm

so sorry Sophie]

Plumeria: First meeting

[biscuitmaster]

[ Adventurer's Guild! Trainee registration! Group assignments! Let's see, the lady from the guild said that her team was meeting somewhere around here, right...?

An eight foot tall iron golem striders into the room, and it's followed by a girl who would look tiny even if she wasn't standing behind that thing. ]

Hi, I'm looking for my group! Are you Plumeria Quinn?

[quinntessentials]

[ The instant the door opens, all the hairs on Plumeria's neck stand up for a second. She's so far from home and Plumeria Quinn is a name so over the top and ostentatious that it almost seems to escape notice. There's no reason for her to think she's about to be dragged back home and yet, it's the first thing in her mind for a split second every time she's heard someone approach.

That's all chased from her mind, of course, once her new teammate actually makes their way inside and... oh. Oh goodness. It's incredibly unbecoming of her, but it takes a solid five seconds before Plumeria can actually respond, all of which she spends staring with her mouth hanging open.

Then she catches herself and hastily clears her throat. ]

Ah– yes, Plumeria Quinn. You're correct.

[ It feels horribly fake and completely correct all at once to call herself that but she supposes it's something she's going to have to get used to. ]

[biscuitmaster]

Great!

[ Zoe marches up to Plumeria, and sticks her hand out for a handshake. ]

I'm Zoe Beaumont, and he's Biscuit. We're gonna be working with you from now on!

Plumeria; camping out

[flashmassacre]

[ Good idea: Dividing up the chores associated with making camp for the night. Bad idea: Rotating said chores amongst the party.

Which is how Plumeria and Kitt got assigned to cooking. They haven't been a party for long, which is how they somehow thought this would be a good idea.

Kitt is just kind of staring at the food and cooking supplies. She picks up a pot, turning it over in her hand... she gives it a practice swing. Wow, unbalanced.

She turns to Plumeria, still brandishing the pot like a really awkward club. ] So, Plum... What are we supposed to do, exactly?

[quinntessentials]

You may cease waving that around like a bludgeoning tool, to start with.

[ Only regrets lay ahead. ]

And then we can decide what we're to serve for tonight's meal. Have you any experience with cooking at all?

[ the answer is probably 'no' but she might as well ask. ]

[flashmassacre]

Yes, of course! What kind of human do you think I am?

[ Kitt puffs - his? - chest up with pride, twirling the pot idly. ] You just throw stuff in a fire and then pull it out once it's black! It's not hard.

Don't know what all of this stuff is for though.

How about a skit? :D Either Sophie or Nerine is good.

[celadontyousee]

[Celadon is, for a nice change, not visibly getting into trouble. The lack of Lulu being in the area may or may not have something to do with it.]

[She's just sitting on the ground underneath a tree, leaning back against the trunk. Her posture is as careless as a child's, legs splayed and robe trailing in the dirt. Her sightless gaze isn't fixed on anything in particular, but she seems to be toying absently with something in her hands and singing softly to herself.]

One and two and back to you- four and three but it's not me... how did the rest go?

[summerbloom]

Hm?

[ Seeing Celadon occupying herself isn't exactly unusual and perhaps it's better to leave her well enough alone if there's no visible trouble. But Sophie is Sophie and the only way to make Sophie leave well enough alone is to physically restrain her. So of course she comes over to investigate. ]

Celadon, good morning! What've you got there?

[celadontyousee]

Hello, Sophie.

[Celadon greets her cheerfully enough, although she pauses when answering the question, and instead of responding immediately spends a couple moments carefully feeling the object in her hands before she answers:]

String.

[It does, in fact, appear to be some kind of very thin piece of red silk rope, about six inches long, with a couple oddly-complex little knots in it.]

I think it was something else, once... but it's string now.

Plumeria

[punchshine]

[Super early on, Plumeria gets an article of clothing damaged and it needs repairs? Or just. Something super early on. I'm open to ideas.]

[quinntessentials]

[ So the unfortunate thing about fleeing your house with one (1) set of clothing is that when it gets torn to shit during a scuffle with some local foliage, you kind of can't do much about it. Or at least, Plumeria, who has always been tragic at sewing, can't. She kind of tries to play it off for a while, but eventually pride and not wanting to have a shredded skirt makes her finally give in. ]

Excuse me, Miss... Gauntlet.

[ It sounds dumber every time she says it, but we're being polite here, today. ]

Might I trouble you for a moment?

[punchshine]

Just 'Gauntlet' is fine.

[Yeah, she's still in the mask.]

[Miss just makes her feel old. Old-ER, anyway. She's probably one the upper end of the age scale for this group anyway, but you are all still children. Who let you go out adventuring unsupervised like this.]

What is your trouble.

[presomnia]

[um hello a placeholder for some important girls who need to be friends

optional concepts for you:
> sophie finds lost girl roaming around in the woods for some reason
> weird child TRANSFORMS INTO A DRAGON ALL OF A SUDDEN to help with some trouble, either trouble or sophie after the fact like UM????
> tiny lost child adamantly refusing to use the sleep. happy 3am sophie it's playtime Right Now]

[ninjabanish]

[well.

here's two girls, an alchemist and a doctor, who should be very good at chemistry by now. except somehow, when it's time to make chocolate, they are both idiots. alice, at least, is nervous, with how expensive these ingredients are...]

Is it truly all right for us to use this much?

[alice you LITERALLY SAVED THE WORLD YOU'RE FINE]

[summerbloom]

Of course it's alright! It's all bought and paid for now, isn't it? So if we don't use it, then it'll just go to waste.

[ Sophie, in contrast, is raring to go. She's discarded that big comfy coat of hers, so she's just in her blouse which gives off the same sort of energy as if she'd rolled up her sleeves, despite the distinct absence of sleeves to roll up.

Anyway. ]

It's gonna be a big batch, though, right? There's you, me, Mister Aran... [ she starts counting them all off on her fingers ] Miss Marie, Celadon, Lulu, Miss Nerine... are we missing anyone?

[ninjabanish]

[Alice, at least, has put on an apron and pulled her hair into a bun to keep it out of the way. she is Ready.]

If we have any left over, perhaps we should make some as offerings to Leta and Lunetha.

[make an offering to your friend's mom, and her girlfriend, god]
