The Escapist Avatar Adventure: An Open RP (Now Re-Opened!)

-1 Helipad
Merlin, Violet, [color=9f2b28]Kazuya, "..." [/color]
Location: G-Corp, Helipad
Time: Night.

[color=9f2b28]"Son of a-GET DOWN!"[/color] Kazuya shouted after the grenade went off, thinking it was more along the lines of a RPG or basically anything that could be aimed at him.
The force of the blast was enough to knock all the men that would normally be trying to "Arrest" the intruder flat on their asses while the man himself climbed into the Transport, leaving a collapsing Helipad behind him.
Kazuya was busy bracing for an impact that never came before he was tapped on the shoulder.
Instinct took over as grabbed the man's arm and quickly threw him face first into the floor of the transport.
[color=9f2b28]"I'll throw you off this goddamn transport! Who are you!? Who sent you!? How'd you get past security?!"[/color] He began to demand as he twisted the wrist of the man behind his back, he was getting answers, one way or another.

Devon entered the room after the majority of the talk. [color=00c863]"If you guys were up for it, I thought we could head out and got something to eat on the town. Obviously none of those restaurants we were at today, but something to remember this place by."[/color]

Shadow Operatives Building: Medical Bay: Jenny, David, Kalastryn, Wanderer, Devon, (Insert other Character's)

David nearly ran right into Devon as he made his way out of the medical bay, clearly shocked by the Bard's sudden appearance.
"Whoa! How long were you standing there, Ma-..." He was about to protest when he remembered that little fact about Devon.
"...Maaaaybe we could do that, Dev...I mean, I had Chinese back home, but it was really just boiled fat and store brand grub." He then corrected himself with all the skill and grace of a brick though a stained glass window.
"Sure. I'm starving for one. Come on, I'll get the car around." She cheerfully said as she made her way down the hall with the others in tow, seeming to be a lot lighter of step all of a sudden.
"Ohhhh...Think I'm feel those things kick in now." She said as she skipped and pranced, full of energy, like as if someone took 4 too many espressos in their large mocha before going to their Networking Lecture.
"Wooooo...Hey, this is kinda nice. Hey, what where in that stuff guys?" She asked the Doctor and the Tiefling, chuckling slightly as she did, seeming air-headed as both mixtures flowed though her.

"...In case you didn't see, She might be in the middle of a sugar high right now...Kinda cute actually, like giving a kid a cup of coffee" David mentioned to Devon as Jenny beamed with energy.
"So...this place have a name? Finally find that damn fucking sushi bar?" He then asked, recalling how much she and ella wanted to go to such a place.

Wanderer, Jenny, David and Kalastyrn.
Location: Medical Bay | Shadow Operatives Building | Personaverse.

Ignoring Kala's talk about magic, the Wanderer could say the exact same thing. Walking besides Jenny, the Doctor was writing down the effects of the two combinations on a notepad, hoping that he may be able to edit the composure of his Stimpak to override the effects of the "Blue potion" as he calls it. "[sub]Now only if I could experiment.[/sub]" He said to himself and saw Jenny look back on him. "I mean, that medicine was made by me, it was created out of all natural ingredients including Broc Flower, Xander root, Mutfruit and Nuka-cola." The Doctor said while adjusting his sunglasses.

"And not to worry, I am a master skilled surgeon and Doctor of the medicine industry. If anything you can count of me to heal someone or cure a sickness." The Doctor said while adjusting his sunglasses once more with a somewhat evil smile, if anything it was competitive as hell since he was the ships Doctor and wasn't going to let anyone get in his way of helping someone.

Finishing his observations, the Wanderer drop his notepad and it faded into nothing, going back into the invisible inventory that the Doctor has.

Merlin, [color=9f2b28]Kazuya[/color] and "We here at the Torgue Corporation sincerely think that this is F*CKING AWESOME!!"
Location: G-Corp, Helipad
Time: Night.

Hearing the warning for the explosion, Merlin was lucky that he was on the edge of the helipad. The explosion forced him to block crossing his arms, the fiery explosion licking at his flesh. Stepping a tad more backwards he managed to escape the heat, but after it faded away, many bodies were on the collapsing helipad. "They have probably passed on." Merlin said with a look of disgust on his face, an explosion like would have killed them, this is what Merlin's past experience.

Moving away from the collapsed portion of the helipad, Merlin quickly tried to scan for a few bodies to scavenge, but he wouldn't want to interfere with the helicopter at this moment, for he does not know what to do in a situation like this, the technology began to scare him. Portable explosions, flying metal carriages, this did scare the magician and yet it fueled his inspiration to learn more about this ever-expanding world.

Yet he could only look on at the helicopter, hoping that this conflict would end soon.

 

[Kalastryn]

Seeing Jenny's burst of energy and perky attitude, Kala's worries about Jenny's shadow and the medications subsided. As for Jenny's question, she hadn't a clue what was in her potion. "Alchemy is a fickle thing, and a practice I didn't much study, so I don't know the recipe for that particular potion by heart. As for the needle from Doc over there... well you have your answer." she said, referring of course to Wanderer. Feeling a bit of competition emanating from him. Then Devon walked into the room asking about getting a bite to eat out on the town.

"I wouldn't mind, but who's buying?" She asked, taking out the small purse and reaching into it again. "I don't suppose they take gold coins here do they?" she said as she pulled out enough of them to fill her palm. Devon would probably recognize the coinage of course, having played Kala's home MMO "I would try to use more valuable coinage where I'm from... but the vault I kept all my platinum in... well it's a good thing I didn't put all my eggs in one basket." She said, placing the coins back into the tiny bag.

She then turned back to a rather energetic Jenny. "You know how to drive?" She asked the Gardevoir in amazement and slight disbelief. I mean of course she was humanoid enough to operate a car physically, but knowing how to drive was something Kala didn't even know.

Shadow Operatives Building: Medical Bay: Jenny, David, Kalastryn, Wanderer, Devon, (Insert other Character's)

Needless to say, the idea that all that was in that injection was fruit and soda wasn't exactly winning David over on Wanderer's medical skills.
"...I...See...I was...kinda expecting it to be full of...I dunno...Vitamins and shit..." He remarked, though Jenny didn't seem to mind and it did explain the rush of energy she was feeling.
"Hey, Placebo is considered one of the most effective medical sciences. Although...I'd ease up on the Cola next time. Wooo!" She remarked before pausing in her caffeine induced waltz to suddenly do a cartwheel flip.
"...Wow...Never did drink Caffeine before now. I think I like it." She said before Kala asked her about knowing how to drive.
"Well, I *do* live in New York and the cabbies there overcharge. Besides, you drive one car, you've driven them all, right?" She then added, making David think that this would be the last car he'll ever get into.
"...If Jenny doesn't get us killed, I'll pay. But Wanderer, I'm only going to ask you once: Act like someone other then you. I saw the footage from the night Deadshot and Annie went out and I'm not wanting any of that shit, got it?" He warned as he got his Debit card out while Jenny went to get one of the Shadow Ops cars.
"...Everyone might want to also wear a seat-belt on the way over..."

When Kala took out the gold coins, the Wanderer pushed aside his competitive medical nature. Pulling out his own currency, a bottle cap, he looked at it. "They don't take bottle caps I take it ... maybe a gold bar would be enough." As the bottle cap suddenly changed into a gold block. When David said he would pay, the Wanderer's hand was empty with joy.

Then he decided to talk about the Wanderer and how he acted. "Excuse me! That was only with Deadshot, he escaped the ship! I couldn't exactly let him go free for doing all that shit to me ... and I cannot believe that Annie helped that villain." The Wanderer grumbled to himself.

"Concerning my medicine ... you do know that fruit contains vitamins and healthy materials. As I said, it heals bones ... which is due to the radioactive wasteland in which I live in!" The Wanderer said with passion, he glowing eyes which were changing quickly from blue to red in blinks, it didn't mean anything good, especially if his other side got out.

And then Jenny came around with the car.

The AA-verse
Location: Southern Minnesota: Rob's Shack
Time: Early morning​

Boss | Rob

Boss shot out of bed gasping. The memory of Darkside was still fresh in his mind; if he had any psionic power left to spare, he would have released it in an explosion all around him.

"Calm down, son." a calm, weak voice said. "Took some doing, you're healed, and you're safe. Mostly."

Boss looked around. He knew this...well, it wasn't just a shack, it had two main rooms, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and utilities (including internet) but Rob always called it a shack. Rob himself, a very old man, dressed in what appeared to be pajamas, was sitting about three feet away, reading one of his Paul Brunton books.

Boss rubbed his forehead. He hurt. Holy goddamn, did he hurt. All over. But he wasn't bleeding, and he wasn't freezing, and that was something to be grateful for. Looking at his arm, he saw a long, jagged scar where that thing had impaled him with the dagger. Mostly healed, indeed. Boss thought.

"How long have I been out?" Boss asked.

"I'd say two hours." Rob said. "Not counting however long you were lying in the snow before I got there." Rob looked up from his book. "Something messed you up fierce, son. Any idea what it was?"

Boss shook his head. "It was tall, thin, and ate people. Other than that, not a clue."

Rob nodded, and returned to his book. "I'll bet it used magic. That's how it messed you up like that."

"...magic?" Boss asked. "Like Edge?"

"Oh heavens no." Rob said. "But we'll talk about that later. Right now you need to get some rest."

"But...but Edge-"

"Will be fine." Rob said, looking over his book again. "Worried, certainly, and with good reason. But he knows better than to get into fights he can't win."

Boss scoffed. "I...I wasn't..."

"Oh, I didn't say you were anything." Rob said, smiling. "Just that you need to stay here and rest for a few days. You'll be up to snuff in no time."

Boss tried to conjure an argument, but found he was too tired to. "Fine." he sighed. "You win. I'll take a little bit of a vacation."

"Wonderful!" Rob said. "I'll make some tea in the morning."

Spoiler: OOC

No problem friend.

Go to our group and we can talk it out there, about the details and etc.
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/chat/The-Avatar-Adventure-Group

Just a little thing now, the RP is currently in a slow phase. We have an arc based in the Persona universe and a small extra portion in the actual Avatar Adventure world (To introduce some new characters).
But as I said, we can talk it all out in the chat without filling out this RP page..

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Shadow Operatives Building: Medical Bay: Jenny, David, Kalastryn, Wanderer, Devon, (Insert other Character's)

David was about to protest, but the part about Radioactive fruit had him more worried.
"...Radioact-Fuck sakes man, You hopped her up on Nuclear Material?!" He exclaimed while Jenny went to get the car.
"...urg, look, just don't do anything I wouldn't do. All we wait is a nice quiet meal in a nice quiet restaurant with other nice quiet people. Me and Devon here have just been to a ruined version of Moscow where Deadshot tried to off us. I just want to unwind, not get into any wacky misadventures." He explained himself as Jenny came around with the car.

This wouldn't be notable, but due to the high rush of energy she was receiving, Jenny was in the mood to be a little, well, reckless.
Case in point is when she rolled up in a Black SUV, though she revved it up and basically drifted it into place in front of them.
Opening the passager side door, He smiled sweetly and said "Come on, we'll miss all the good seats!"
...Goddamn it Wanderer... David thought, thinking that whatever Radioactive junk was in that injection made Jenny as nuts as he was.
"...I'm not sitting in the front, BTW."

Shadow Operatives Building: Parking Lot/Van: Jenny, David, Kalastryn, Wanderer, Devon, (Insert other Character's)

Caim and Angelus crawled into the car after Jenny, the pair looking reasonably more serene than before. Perhaps it was the way Caim extended his hand to help Angelus into the van, or the irritated-but-mildly-amused expression Angelus gave back, but the Shadow fights seemed to have lifted a small burden from the two, whatever it was.
Upon settling in, Caim cast his gaze to David, and began,

"I'm not one to get to get completely lost in a bottle, but a drink with friends after a victory... That is a good comfort to indulge in"

Pausing for a moment, he turned his head in the direction of his children and shouted,

"Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, if you're coming along, stick by Devon, as usual. Understood?"

A happy cry came from the Cuties, who were currently nestled on the bard's shoulders,[color=15650D]"Yes Sir!"[/color]"Okay!"
Following that, they continued to chatter excitedly about what they were going to do for the night, "Mr. David said that maybe we could get sushi tonight!"
[color=15650D]"That'd be nice, certainly. But, I wonder what else they'll be on the town..."[/color] He looked around to the other party members, almost as if looking for an answer about what else they could eat while out and about.

Angelus gave the Gardevior a warm smile as she sat in the van as well, and spoke after Caim, "Agreed. We could all use the chance to unwind, especially you; Jenny. I imagine our recent battles have been exhausting...
However, I do not see the little one (Melethia) around...? I suppose her mother must have pulled her aside."

In the midst of the hub-bub, Teri pulled Ella aside, and spoke quietly, her head bowed slightly as she began to speak,
[color=0E59e4]"Hey Ells? I wanted to say before we went out, I'm sorry. Ever since Dad got himself possessed by his Shadow and Jake died, I've really holed up in my head. That wasn't right, and I should have talked with you sooner about stuff that was bugging me, rather than letting it all build up and worry you. Maybe if I had taken my head out of my rear end, I'd have realized that you of all people had been working really hard to keep me and Devon in check."[/color]
Giving a sheepish smile, the Cleric added, [color=0E59E4]"Not to mention, it's kinda messed up to do all that when you just wanted a smile. Anyways, I'll make sure to be more open with you, okay? Now, do you know where that Jacket went off to? I kinda wanted to wear something aside from the robes while out and about."
"Wait, really? We're gonna wear normal stuff? BITCHIN!"
"Yup. I figured it shouldn't be too big of a deal. Besides, if we're going to relax tonight, gotta go the whole nine yards, right Sadei?"[/color]

-Insert Ella's response here-

After hearing what Ella had to say in return, Teri ran off to a spare bathroom and changed into some [http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/outfit-of-the-day-031412-1.jpg] civilian [http://www.greekk.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/product_full/201305/chinese-dragon-t-shirt-black.4682-22617.jpg] clothes [http://prayforbilly.com/wp-content/uploads/women%E2%80%99s-cargo-pants.jpg] before hopping into the van with the rest of the party. With the lack of the uniform[footnote]Essentially, the robe, the cloak, and the circlet have been unequipped for this scene/night. Sadei is in her arm-bracelet form[/footnote], the Cleric looked like an ordinary college student again.

In the very back of the whole scene, a wolf wagged his tail as his Pup went to join her friends, and then turned towards the Canteen, seeking to fill a baser need while the group went to have their fun. Besides, a bar would only complain of his presence again. Sending a brief message over the rings, Garm let Teri know of his whereabouts before making his way to the Canteen.

Shadow Operatives Building: Canteen Rugal, Garm

After wandering into the Canteen, Garm wondered for a moment about how he was going to manage getting a plate of food whilst on four paws, but then spotted his Male Alpha taking in a meal of his own. Begging wasn't really the wolf's style, but perhaps a morsel could be gained, as well as some insight into the Alpha's condition. With a silenced gained from many wild moons, Garm snuck along quietly before placing his head on Rugal's lap (as he had done many times before with Teri) before pale blue eyes looked up at Rugal, [color=356D60]"It is good to see you returning to yourself. My Pup shouldered a great burden whilst you were 'away'. And yet, as Alpha, you don't keep a close eye on the pack. Why?"[/color]

There was a slight pause in the line of questioning, before a growl in Garm's stomach filled the air, and any tension that may have been caused by the wolf's questions was destroyed. With a small whine the wolf finished with, [color=356D60]"Also, I'm trying to figure out how to get a meal around here. Kinda hard with no thumbs."[/color]

Wanderer, Jenny, David, Devon, Kalastyrn and (Insert others).
Location: Parking bay number ??? | Shadow Operatives Building | Personaverse.

"Where the fuck did these guys come from!" The Wanderer said baffled, as if a clown car came out from right behind them. Observing the crew start getting in the car, the Wanderer looked to David, "Fine, I'll go in front and take care if anything happens. But the ingredients weren't radioactive, don't assume that everything in a Wasteland is radioactive ... ya don't need to discriminate everything that doesn't come from a normal world. " The Wanderer puffed out to David as he opened the front passenger seat.

"And I'm always a good person when I'm not violent ... they call me the Messiah in the Wasteland, and if I weren't nice, I wouldn't be able to get into New Vegas' casinos." The Wanderer said lastly before hoping into the "Shotgun" seat of the van. "Like a fuckin' clown car ... except worse." The Wanderer muttered to himself before pulling out his carton of cigarettes, placing one in his mouth and pulling out a card shaped lighter.

("Finally, a smoke. Thank Go- ... FUCK for that!") The inner mind Shadow said.

"[sub]Don't get cocky.[/sub]" The Wanderer said with the cigarette in mouth, finally lighting it a big puff of smoke filled the mouth of the Wanderer. Quickly pressing the button for the window and the automatic window followed it's commands. Next thing David and others saw was a calm looking Wanderer blowing the smoke outside, "Thank God that this stuff doesn't damage me." Wanderer said while taking down his sunglasses, his glowing eyes giving off a calm rhythm.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Shadow Operatives Building: Jeep leaving Building: Jenny, David, Kalastryn, Wanderer, Devon, Caim, Teri, Angelus, Caim, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg

While he was glad that he wasn't going to have to be the only one to mind both Wanderer and this overly excited Jenny, the cramped space in the SUV was starting to get on his nerves, like being a kid on a overcrowded school bus.
"Ngh! Right, Okay, if we could get some people to either sit on someone's lap or jump in the back, That'd be pretty awesome." He spoke as he sat behind Wanderer while the others got in, trying to compress himself as much as possible for everyone to get in comfortably.
"Alright, Sorry, just usually when you say a fruit came from a Radioactive wasteland...It's usually Radioactive! And...sorry again, Just we don't have the best track records for doing something simple like this. Remember the last time we tried to unwind, we all nearly died when Annie went Godzilla on the city were in." He then said to Wanderer, apologizing for the shit he was giving him.

Once everyone was piled in, Jenny glanced back to make sure they were.
"Yeah...Still, I feel just fine, Angie! Now, Hope you are all comfortable back there..." She said as she checked her mirrors and signals, almost giving David the impression that she was going to be a reasonable driver as he texted Rugal on their change of plans.
"Because if we're going to get a table big enough, we're going to need to burn some rubber..." She added, crushing David's hopes before "Borrowing" Wanderer's Sunglasses and wearing them, giving him a cheeky wink behind them.
What followed next was a burnout before the SUV went racing out of the Parking lot and onto the streets with all the skill and grace of a Black Friday fanatic on the way to Target.

Shadow Operatives Building: Canteen Rugal, Garm

As Garm sneaked up on Rugal, he was idly playing with his food, a standard Meat and Veg dish, with his fork after getting David's text.

David: Yo Bondi, doing 4 food in city. u coming?
Rugal: No Thank you. I think I'll pass.
David: kk, got T, Dev, Ella, Caim, Angie, kala, kids wit us
Rugal: Understood

As he got that last text, Garm made himself known as he crept up on Rugal, startling him slightly.
"Tch! That's why we put Bells on cats." He remarked, though he did pet the Dire Wolf as he put his PDA away and waved for the waiter.
"Another one of these please. Sorry, For however advanced they might be, I don't think they've gotten used to talking animals yet. No offense." He then added as another plate was placed on the table, only to have him place it on the ground afterwards.
"As for your question, you're assuming I'm still the Alpha after what happened. I mean...First Annie, then..."Him"..." He sighed as he rubbed his face a little.
"It's easy to say "I'll do better." But I'm not even convincing myself there...And right now, Slindis is talking with Melethia about what happened in the Shadow Zone...and...I'm...worried she might go into detail about what happened. Despite everything, Mel still looks up to me. So I'm not looking forward to explaining why I tried to kill everyone else in our little family..."

-1 Helipad
Merlin, Violet, [color=9f2b28]Kazuya[/color], Torgue
Location: G-Corp, Helipad
Time: Night.

Merlin watched as the Transport in the air began to wobble as a fight seemed to have broken out on it.
While he was wondering what it was, the Pilot was kind enough to leave the Loudspeaker on.

[color=9f2b28]"...You....did all this...FOR A PIZZA!?"[/color]

Kazuya shouted after getting Torgue's side of the story, it didn't take a genius to figure out that he wasn't impressed.

[color=9f2b28]"Ohhhh, don't you DARE point that at me because I'm doing to take that weapon and shove RIGHT UP YOUR-"[/color] *TSSSSSSSS*

The Transport then began to jerk violently in the air, as if it was in a cartoon, as curses and swears began to flow though the static of the PA.
If this kept up, Merlin realized they might end up cashing right as he felt someone tugging at his arm.
"Come on! Get off the roof! If they crash into us, we're finished!" Violet, all dirty and panicked urged as he tried to pull Merlin back inside before the transport lost control competely.

Icarus, Hiryu
Location: Tokyo Skyline
Time: Night.

As this was going on, Icarus managed to slip off during the mayhem towards Darkside's current location, intent on finishing off the mutant to avoid the fate that befell his friends in his dream.
But as the Half Angel flew though the night sky, his attention was brought to a man clad in red and blue skillfully leaping and running from building to building, seemingly heading along the same path at him.

Hiryu meanwhile was more concerned about getting to Darkside first rather then the angel he was sharing the sky with, as was his Handler as another message appeared on his HUD, despite him not wearing anything over his eyes.

Ignore the Kid, Keep moving. He get in your way, Remove him from it.

While he did glance over his shoulder once or twice, Hiryu stayed on target, moving as though his life depended on it.

 

[Orinon]

Icarus, Hiryu
Location: Tokyo Skyline
Time: Night.

Icarus sped forward he noticed the strangely clad ninja.
He pulled out his handheld. He gave kazuya a call.
"Hey Kazuya if you get this message and I pray its soon I've gotten a fix on Darkside, I'm going to circle him and keep a lock on his location but I don't want to engage yet, but I think someone else is following him.
he took a quick snapshot of The strange ninja.
"Any Intel on this guy would be good." he said and sent the message and the hi definition picture of the ninja if Kazuya got a look he would be able to recognize it.
As he flew though he noticed he should have line of sight by now but Darkside was gone.
Sudden;y something collided from behind. he hit the ground
"Argh my wing. he said and suddenly Darkside dropped down. The drop kick hit Icarus's shoulder.
"You little punk did you think I would be easy to kill, ha, Now then how about you hand over that gemstone and I may not slaughter your friends one by one." he said Icarus wasn't going to let Darkside have an advantage. he sent a few volts of black lightning into Darkside the mutant shouted and Icarus used the opportunity to get out of grabbing distance.
"I will never let you have the crystals Darkside I'm here to kill you."
with a snap of his fingers Dark Excalibur appeared in his hands.
Darkside flexed both his arms. The black sword had a cold aura, Icarus keep the sword in between him and Darkside but he had an advantage and anyone could see in his eyes he was going to kill the mutant.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Icarus, Hiryu, Darkside
Location: Tokyo Skyline
Time: Night.

Don't just stand there! Engage the Angel before he kills my new employee!

Hiryu grumbled slightly at Icarus's attack, he didn't like what he was doing either, but he wasn't in a position to say no.
Leaping off from the building he was on, in the space of seconds Icarus saw the Blue clad ninja in front of him, Staring him straight in the eye as he descended, It was quite striking, one of his eyes seemed..."Strange."
In a single quick move, he struck his Plasma blade Cypher against Dark Excalibur, hitting at an angle hard enough to knock it out of the Angel's hands before kicking off him in midair, leaving him unharmed but his sword falling to the streets below.
In the space it took for Icarus to look down, Hiryu had landed on a rooftop nearby.
"Attention Darkside! My..."Employer" has a message and an Offer for you if you wish to hear it!" He shouted to the mutant as he pulled out a tablet.

Nice work, let him come over and I'll talk to him myself. If he acts up, take him out and then try that man that Kazuya is fighting now. I'm not letting the chance for new talent slip me by."

The text scrolled though his vision as he began setting up the video feed, hoping Darkside would just fly off instead.

-1 Helipad
Merlin, Violet, [color=9f2b28]Kazuya[/color], Edge, "The Incredible Hulk Hogan" aka "The Bastard Lovechild of Michael Bay and Randy Savage" aka "Slim Jim"
Location: G-Corp, Helipad
Time: Night.

Seeing that Kazuya had the situation under control, Edge jumped down from the helicopter onto the collapsed helipad. "Get the injured down to the medical bay, right now!" Edge said to the assembled group. Pointing to someone who looked like he was in charge, he said, "You! How did the bastard love-child of Michael Bay and Randy Savage get into the building?"

The soldier nodded. "Sir! From what I understand, he literally just crashed into the building, likely from some sort of areal drop. Ground attacks we're prepared for, and attacks from up here we can manage, but one lunatic jumping in a third of the way up?" The soldier shook his head. "We just couldn't scramble fast enough."

Edge nodded. He understood personally how difficult their job had been; more than once he had counted on something similar. "I'll let Kazuya know."

Edge nodded, and moved to the lip of the building, looking for some kind of aircraft. "Have there been reports of any..." Wait. There was something there. Some...one? He could barely make it out, and he was too drained to use Truesight.

"Aircraft?" The soldier asked. "No, not anything that we didn't allow to go through. Could have been a stealth-"

"Do you have a pair of binoculars?" Edge asked.

The soldier nodded, and handed them to Edge. That was better. Someone-about 180 centimeters, heavily built, and wearing some kind of scarf or cape, was running across the skyline, towards the ocean. Running fast, faster than Edge could without using the Ninja Arts.

"What do you see?" The soldier asked.

Edge knew (because of Kazuya's constant screaming) that the city was supposed to be on lockdown. And this guy gave him a bad, bad feeling. "If you have any 'copters left, scramble them over the skyline." Edge said, giving the soldier his binoculars back. "The big guy is just a distraction; the real threat is that guy, right there."

"...I..." The soldier looked through the binoculars to the place Edge was pointing. "I can barely see that guy. Alright, I'll give the order."

"Good." Edge said, nodding. "Thank you." With that, Edge teleported back to Kazuya. "So Slim Jim..." Edge asked the man Kazuya currently had pinned on the ground. "Who's the guy in the scarf?"

Shadow Operatives Building: Parking Lot/Van: Jenny, David, Kalastryn, Wanderer, Devon, (Insert other Character's)

As Devon sat in the car, she replied to David with a laugh. [color=00c863]"That's the really funny thing, David... because of the outbreak, all of the sushi bars are closed. They said that even though it wasn't mandated they wanted to keep their customers safe, so that idea's dead in the water. There are some good noodle shops around here, though."[/color]

She then focused on Ton-Ton and Cadolbolg as she sat in the back of the van. [color=00c863]"Well, we could go to that noodle shop, but there's also a lot of other interesting shops as well. We should keep our eyes open, you know? No bars, though... Isn't that right, Caim? [small]Although I would like a shot of whiskey after that, since I still can't find any pants...[/small]"[/color] Devon remembered how scared Ton-Ton was of cars, though, and she made sure to hold him closely.

And as Devon got comfortable, Ella smirked as she slyly responded. "You know, it's about damn time that one of you two finally got your head out of the sand. If it got any worse, I was just about ready to... well, you would not have wanted to see it. It's good to see that you are smiling now, so let's have a good time. WHo knows? I might let Devon wear some pants again. It's neither here nor there, though. Teri, just have some fun tonight." She then handed the jacket back to Teri from Devon's sidebag as she waited for Teri to change.

"Teri, can we grab you a new shirt while we're out? That shirt... It looks okay, but I really think we could get you one that's more you."

Darkside smirked
"Well I never thought someone would want my assitance, but I don't serve anyone unless it is for myself. but you know what's good for you so if you allow me to go about my business and destroy this meddlesome half-breed I may just let you live longer than most." he walked past hiryu and picked up the angel, Icarus grimaced but Darkside wan;t going to let his opportunity vanish he began to hammer heavy punches into the young boy;s back, each punch was like being hit by a slegde hammer. Icarus groaned.
"Ha where's your bravado boy, now hand over that crystal," he dropped him and began to apply pressure with his boot.
"Or do I have to kill you."
