Avoiding detention... TO HELL!

[Pappytech]

"...What the hell just happened? I... son of a *****! We are fucking screwed! What the hell!" John screamed.

He swung his fist and punched a hole in the wall. When he pulled his hand away, his knuckles were bloody.

Turning to Tasha and Harper he said, "Right, that's it. No more dicking around. We are going to the underwold. We are going to find Hataki, David, and Jack. We are going to get this all sorted out. And we are going to do it now."

Turning to Lola, "I'm sorry about your wall, but, as you can probably see, I'm rather pissed off right now. I will fix it later, but now I've got something else I need to do. Tell me where the entrance to the Underwold is."

John muttered to himself, "I'm not sure who, but I going to kill somebody."

David stared at them with half-lidded eyes. "That was... oddly quick." David scratched the back of his head. "It doesn't really seem like training."
He took a seat at a side of the room and sat in a meditational pose.

But that's not what OUR characters think. We never said anything that indicated that you were dead. Also,

For what it's worth, from what my character has heard from Daft and mcpop, he believes Jack to be alive.

In the house Lola simply shook her head at the hole in the wall. "It's no concern. You must be very worried about your friend." She generally seemed more relaxed now that the demon had left, though she still was not back to her friendly spirit.

"Then let's go." She said. The door in front of her opened seemingly of it's own accord. "It's not too far." With that she began to take large steps outside and down the road, most of the students with her would have to jog sightly to keep up.

"Your friend... will likely be a bit different when you see her. In fact you should all be careful." She glanced over at the weapons that some of them were carrying. "Oh! Not so much of violence." She added. "But it is a place... of great change."

After 3hours and the first training round Hataki could take a hair off someones head without harming them. she was sweating. "Wow, i never knew i could master my electricity like this." she said smiling.

 

[Pappytech]

John kept pace with the Sphinx easily enough. One of the benefits of being tall meant he could move faster than most other people.

"What do you mean great change? Do you have any idea what happened to Hataki? Is she some kind of demon? I understand that it's in your nature to be mysterious, but I'd do almost anything to get a few straight answers around here."

 

[Daft Sikes]

David opened his eyes. "Well, that took you long enough." He stood up and dusted himself off "I practiced using my powers too." He demonstrated by levitating into the air.

 

[Daft Sikes]

That's what Hataki thinks. Our characters don't share the same thoughts.

 

[mcpop9]

"Better trick, but seeing as it took three hours for me to get where i am." she shot a small bolt a millimeter away from David's head. "We seem to be on par." Hataki then looked at Astra "So what next?"

 

[Fishtie]

Lola seemed disgruntled as she thought about what John said, almost pained. Eventually she spoke. "The land of the dead is absolute; never truly changing. And the world of Earth is infinitely knowable. But what lies between, that is something that is neither; possessing the changeability of one and the laws of the other."

She looked up, the group had now left the road and was now heading up the foothills. Mt. Orem towered overhead and came closer with every step. "As for your friend..." She paused again. "Remember this. It is important. Humans are creatures of all three aspects; body, mind, and soul. It is what has allowed them to spread and grow as they have. However, it also leaves them vulnerable to certain... unique conditions. Perhaps what is known as the human condition."

As she finished speaking she also stopped walking. Just ahead the barren rock plunged downwards. Upon further examination there was what seemed to be a hole down into the earth. It was about 8 feet in diameter and extended down farther then the evening sun would reach. The edge and sides of the hole seemed simple unworked rock, as though a perfectly natural sinkhole.

"Here we are." Lola said grimly. "This is as far as I can take you."

Spoiler: Ooc:

A post for mcpop9, Daft Sikes, and One Hit Noob will follow shortly. I haven't forgotten you.

 

[Daft Sikes]

David stood by Hataki. "Anything you could teach me maybe?" He licked his lips suggestively.

 

[mcpop9]

Hataki looked at David. "Silly boy, work comes first, playing is a luxury that has to be earned. I'm working until i get my tail and have the right to be what i am." she said.

 

[Daft Sikes]

David frowned. "Well, can you teach me anyting else? Anything that can give me an edge in combat?"

 

[mcpop9]

"Cheer up, knowing your mind, you'd want me to have a tail wouldn't you?" Hataki said with a slight grin on her face

 

[Fishtie]

"That's right." Astra said backing up her niece. "It's time to work, and speaking of." She spread her hands apart and a jag of electricity arced between them. "Easy." Then she did it again, but the electricity continued to flow, a solid stream between her hands. "Harder. It's not about precision or power. Just maintain the flow as long as you can without a seconds break."

She then turned to David. "Tips for you?" She asked. "Tie your shoes for one thing." She said pointing at his feet.

 

[mcpop9]

"Seems easy enough." Hataki tried it only resulting in a small arc for about half a second. 15 minutes pass and the results were the same. This time though she let herself go, letting her arms feel like a circuit and the arc was sustained. she tried it a few more times with continued success. "Whats next now?"

 

[Pappytech]

John nodded. "Alright, thank you Lola. I truly appreciate your help. And by the way, I did mean what I said earlier; I'll be back to fix your wall once I get everything sorted out here. See you later."

With that, John took off his backpack, and opened it, releasing a moderate sized battle-bot. It rolled around for a bit before pausing, as though waiting for instructions.

"HK, gauntlet." The robot used some hidden springs in its chassis to leap into the air, latching onto John's left arm. It shifted parts of itself around, molding itself around John's arm, until the limb was completely covered. Flexing his fingers, John leaped into the hole. Gritting his teeth, he slammed into the far wall, and jabbed his newly-covered fingertips into the stone. The metal sparked as John slid downwards. There was no going back.

 

[Daft Sikes]

"Oh no. I'm not falling for that old trick." David said with a smug grin on his face. "I look down, then I get a sucker-punch to the face." David laughed. "Not gonna work on me ma'am."

 

[Fishtie]

As the flashes of explosive magic died away around Galio the darkness of the area returned. In the last fleeting sparks over the now corpses there seemed to be great pillars and a raised alter. But there was barely enough time to see it all before pitch blackness returned.

Silence came with it. Far quieter then a dark night, quieter then a room recently emptied, quieter then anything Galio had ever experienced. Absolute silence, solid as a roll of paper.

Then, a slight sound came. The voice of the figure whispered right in Galio's ear.

Good indeed. You are already beginning to learn.

 

[mcpop9]

"Seems that since my control of my power has significantly increased i should be able to touch others now." Hataki said and smiled at david "have you thought of doing other things than just lifting things like bending and warping things?" she asked
