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

[Kalastryn]

Spoiler: Meanwhile, NOT in Baator.

Kalastryn was indeed alive again. Though, not anywhere near the rising dawn. For the first few minutes of her fading back to consciousness she could hardly open her eyes, and she felt a pain probably little better than what Bel could have inflicted. When she at last managed to open her eyes, it was as though the world was a spinning blur. Did he beat her that hard? She certainly didn't remember the event. After a rather short time, though so unwelcome to the tiefling that she could have sworn it to be much longer, she came fully to her senses and the pain lessened to an extent where she felt at least semi-comfortable... she noticed a few things about where she was.
For one, compared to the landscape she had just witnessed, the room she resided in now was almost earthly in it's features. She was in a comfortable bed, and a quick look out the window nearby made the second fact rather obvious because of all the ice and snow. Second, the unbearable heat seems to have vanished. In fact... she felt cold. Refreshingly so, she supposed, but still chilled to shivers. It was a bit much to process, and her final realization about where she resided was hearing other people in nearby rooms complaining about injuries and the like, but few asking the same question she thought to herself.

(This... almost seems like a hospital of some kind... am... am I... alive?)

Shortly after she began to stir, a man entered her room. He wasn't dressed in the normal attire for a doctor as any of us would think it. Though, the staff they carried and the wings similar to hers certainly hinted at the possibility of being a cleric... probably better than a doctor from Kala's point of view. It takes him a few moments to realize Kala had awakened, but once he does, he doesn't seem at all frightened at her appearance, as if the horns on her head were commonplace... wherever this was. Clearly not having to try hard at all to be respectful to her, he opens conversation with.

"Well good morning drowsy. Glad to see your awake. I'm in charge of the resurrections around here. At least for the time being. I take it this is your first time going under? It took you a pretty long time to come to, I actually started wondering if it even worked. Now, before I let you go anywhere, I need you to answer some questions. These should be simple, it's just a part of diagnosing whether or not your body responded well enough for me to let you off."

"Alright... ask away I guess?" she says as her head pounds.

"Alright, let's start simple, what is your name?"

"I... I don't... no wait, I do! It's Kalastryn D' Zannifer. [sub] W... why did I have to think so hard on that?" [/sub]

Kalastryn's expression sours a little as she holds her aching head, but the one questioning her seems even more concerned.

"Alright... when you died... if you can remember that, how... destructive was it? Did you stay in piece, break any bones, or... lose any limbs?"

"Let... let me think a moment." She says and after a brief minute she remembers the details, the shock on her face alarming the "doctor" for a moment.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes... yes I am... it's... just painful to recall. Lost limbs were the least of my problems... I got frozen solid by some sort of spell... and... then I can remember falling to pieces. Pieces each almost as thin as paper." She says. Though it really wasn't like her, and definitely not how she faced even hell head on... she felt... weak, stuttering to even remember her own name?

"Damn..." The doctor says, before flipping through several pages of questions rapidly.

"I... don't even think I have to ask the rest of these, though I wish I'd at least made it further without being so confident that... I can't let you leave."

"Why not? What's wrong with me?"

"Well... how to explain? Basically, even though your back from death, which is an amazing feat in and of itself... your body was so thoroughly destroyed that... you have one of the worst cases of soul sickness I think I've ever seen. It's nothing to panic over really. It's never anything that can be fatal, but for a long time it's going to be debilitating. Normally, we have spells and medicines at the ready to treat it at a moment's notice. Now though? Well... we're actually out of stock on both the components for the spell, and the medicines to hasten recovery. The trade route we were supposed to get our next shipment from was also ransacked, and it doesn't seem like there's another on the way until someone can secure it again, which... could take a while. Even so, I wouldn't be too alarmed, though it heals naturally at... well a snail's pace for most... it does heal on it's own."

"What does it do? The illness itself, I mean."

"Well, to put the most obvious concern you may have at rest, memory loss is common, though that normally recovers first. Even so, your motor functions won't be up to speed for a while. Sure, you can move just about any part of you, but don't expect to be able to run anywhere, much less fly. Other than that, there isn't much else to say. I don't know how long it could take you to recover without treatment, though I do hope it comes sooner to you than the arrival of said treatment. Other than that... well, like I said, you won't be going anywhere until you've recovered. You... might as well get comfortable... and some rest, you look like you need it."

The cleric says as he sighs and leaves the room.

Even though Kala is alive, it seems they're going to have to make what they can of this respite, even as unwanted as it is.

Boss | Edge | Icarus | Selena | Violet | Maka | [color=9BBED5]David Ashworth[/color] | Paul | Unimportant
Location: Hacker's Den (Tokyo City Center)
Time: Late evening/Early Morning (say around 2-ish)

Icarus's Personal handheld binged again he remembered the last time he used it while he had been looking for the dawn, the handheld was similar to a mufti purpose tool his father owned bit significantly less powerful.
From a few systems it signaled something large had definitely entered the universe form nowhere, silently using his illusion power he slipped away it was similar to sneaking away from the soldiers it was the same city too, he opened his wings and began to fly away. He soon was over the ocean.
He smiled it was such a view
The endless ocean stretched out before for his eyes fusing gently with the sky far off in the distance seamlessly. a few small islands were in the distance, most mortals couldn't see them but his angelic blood gave him certain traits, he was literally born to fly that was why he could fly with such ease, he had sharp vision, his violet eyes could pick out details as good as any raptor.
He was searching, not for prey but for what he hoped would be comrades, but at the same time he was nervous. if his father had told him right there was a man aboard that ship, one who was once a monster himself, he seemed to have been reformed but he was still worried, after all, even an innocent mistake can have grave consequences.

Rising Dawn: Training Room - Caim

Caim awoke in a training room and rubbed his eyes with confusion, and checked over himself to ensure his condition. PDA, Sword, Armor? Everything was there, even the sensation of Angelus' mind briefly touching his own. That was something that was sorely missed in the Persona verse, as it had been long since he had been without a companion in his thoughts. Of course, that also brought to his attention that he couldn't sense Ton Ton and Cadolbolg anymore; because of their wish to Philemon.
"I shouldn't dwell on that. They're with Ton Ton's Mistress, who is probably a good pair of hands on her own. Which reminds me, not all of the kids left... I wonder if Devon's out and about?"

Shaking off the feeling of melancholy, Caim sheathed his blade and proceeded out of the training room and down the hall in search of his protege, giving a nod to the Wanderer as he passed him by.

Rising Dawn: Caim and Angelus' Room - Angelus

The dragoness awoke in her mortal form with a yawn and sat up, doing a small mental check of herself. Fire? Check. Kingsblood? Caim? Yup, all was as it should be. Well, aside from the growl that escaped her stomach. Shaking her head with amusement, Angleus decided that the battle with Nyarlatothep and extended use of a Persona must have been more than enough to leave her bushed. As she got up to go to the Canteen, the dragoness couldn't help but wonder what happened to everyone's Personas. Did they just recess to the back of their minds? Or perhaps they had simply re-assimilate with the rest of the mind, now that Personas were no longer a thing in this universe? She certainly felt a small hint of Echidna still lurking within herself, but far more silent than she ever was before. Curious...

With a shrug, the dragon continued out towards the canteen, and after grabbing what was suitable for her desire for food, sat down and packed it away, giving a small wave when David walked past, "You look like Hell, West."

Rising Dawn: Teri's Room - Teri/Garm

The two awoke in Teri's room, the Cleric shooting upright with a start, and the wolf giving her an inquisitive glance, [color=356D60]"Are you alright? You seem upset."[/color]
Of course, that was before he noticed the sack next to him, and the wolf was incredibly tempted to start nibbling some more, were it not for Teri's shaky response, [color=0E59E4]"I-I'm okay. I think I wasn't quite ready for the jump. Let's just hope we don't have to do that again..."[/color]
After dusting herself off, the Cleric held up her Tablet and addressed the Display containing Dimitri, [color=0E59E4]"Hey, how about you join Vermilion on the Dawn, Dimitri? I bet she misses you."[/color]
[color=3897E0]

"Thank you, Madam. Call me if you need me."

[/color] with that, the Blue Butler entered the Rising Dawn dataframe, and the Cleric took one final look to Garm, [color=0E59E4]"I can take the sack along with us if you'd like? I kinda want to find the others and make sure they're okay..."[/color]
Garm made a sort of huffing noise before grabbing the sack with his jaws and followed after the Cleric as she began to wander the halls. Unfortunately, the Cleric wasn't able to get far, as she walked smack-dab into a hulk of muscle and red suit: AKA Rugal Bernstein

Rising Dawn Mainframe: AI Vermilion/AI Dimitri

When Dimtri ported himself into the main controls of the Rising Dawn, he wasted no time reuniting with his fellow digital companion, clad in her red garb as always. However, her brow seemed a bit furrowed with...distress?
[color=3897E0]

"Ms. Vermilion? Is something wrong?"

[/color]
[color=FF5349]

"Hello again, Dimitri. While I would usually give you a better homecoming, I am slightly occupied with two things. The first, being an attempt to regulate and evaluate the current time here. It would appear that more has passed in this realm than it had in the previous one. Unfortunately, the ship's main record in time and reports, is being a bit stubborn about what time it is EXACTLY, as it processes on it's own regulations and frame.
The second, is that I have detected something (Icarus) flying nearby, however, I have not yet determined whether it is a friendly, enemy or simply an animal. I believe an announcement should be in order."

[/color]
[color=3897E0]

"Something I can do easily, keep calculating, I suppose."

[/color] Giving his partner in digital crime a peck on the cheek, Dimitri hit a few buttons to get aboard the intercom,

[color=3897E0]

"Attention Rising Dawn, this is AI Dimitri speaking. From what our sensors are reading, the ship has made the jump back from the Persona Universe successfully. Vermilion and myself are working to set the time correctly, but we're having some troubles regulating it back to this universe and zone's time. Furthermore, we're picking up something with the scanners nearby our airspace, but the nature of it is not entirely certain. Please do not be alarmed, but prepared in case it decides to get close. Otherwise, welcome back to our main universe."

[/color]

Rising Dawn:Above the Balconey
Icarus had taken a nap on a cloud it had been a long time since he had been able to really relax and his natural fatigue had caught up to him, flying fast always made him tired, and hungry, he saw something huge it was the dawn, but it wasn't, the airship had been changed the once steam-punk ship looked much more akin to something from the distant future, like the year 2000, (Flight of the Concords),
He pushed the cloud using his wings to fly down, he was soon hovering inches above the balcony,
"Hmm I wonder if someone is here," he slowly got off the cloud and walked to a door
"lets see what did dad say the code was, oh yeah"
he typed in a code his father had once told him should let him enter the ship

2BR
3RR
4WW

the Door didn't respond apparently the code didn't work Icarus sighed they must have changed it. he walked back to the cloud getting back on it lying down, wrapping his warm cloak around him like a blanket he yawned and drifted back to sleep.


Dmitri got a message from the ships interior computer system, the ship used to have it's own crude AI built in but unlike Vermilion or Dmitri it had no free will, or sentience.

Received input code
code subject: Open Balcony door
2BR
3RR
4WW

Execute Code: Y/N

 

[bluerocker]

Rising Dawn: Mainframe

Vermilion's brow deepened further, and continued typing vigorously over the console, [color=FF5349]

"Passcode denied. Grounds: Unidentified subject input, and obsolete pass-code.

[/color]

Dimitri looked over to his digital compatriot in curiosity, seeing as he just finished his announcement to the party below, [color=3897E0]

"Should I-"

[/color]

[color=FF5349]

"Give me a moment- It's strange, someone attempted an obsolete pass-code to enter the Balcony door. I'm searching for the signal now...."

[/color]

Without further prompting, Dimitri joined Vermilion on the console and found a small electronic signal just above them, from a cloud bank, and Icarus received a blue texted message on his device:

Subject: Please respond Immediately
From: Airship Rising Dawn - AI Vermilion and AI Dimitri

[color=3897E0]

"Greetings. 

It has come to our attention that you have attempted to intrude upon our ship with an obsolete passcode. Your signal has been traced, and if you do not respond to this message within 5 minutes, it will be assumed you are an agent attempting to sneak aboard, as we have had attempts such as your's before, and a call to arms will be raised. To prevent this, respond with whom you are and your purpose of attempting to enter our ship, and negotiations will begin. We also ask that you come within range of our visualization sensors and present yourself, preferably in front of one of the cameras."

[/color]

 

[Orinon]

Rising Dawn: Blaconey
Icarus was surprised when his Handheld pinged he opened it up and got a message.
reading it his eyes widened
"Oh crap"

he looked around and saw a outside camera, he got up opening his wings flying up to the camera
"Um hello can you see me? I'm not a spy My name is Icarus I umm I just wanna get in, I'm also really hungry." he was clearly nervous, he didn't want to risk being attacked plus these were camera's he could use his illusion abilities to deceive them. he was tying to remain stable in is hover he was fairly good with this sort of thing.
"SO yeah my name is Icarus and I swear I'm a good guy.

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rising Dawn: Hallways: Rugal

Rugal was busy wondering what S'Zami's home-realm was like, how her relations would react to her passing and countless other "What If?"'s as he walked though the hallways of the airship, so it wasn't much of a surprise when he bumped into right into Teri.
"Hm, We really need to stop meeting like this, eh?" He scoffed as he knelled down to help her back up off the ground.
"Well...We did it. Another world saved. That should keep fate off our back for a while at least?" He then added as he lightly petted Garm, though there was a hint of awkwardness in his movements, he *DID* drop the ball in a major way back in that realm, though that's a light way of saying "Tried to kill her and her family".
Then, Dimitri did a broadcast across the entire ship and he remembered something the AI had told him: "That makes 2 worlds saved before at the age of 20. You know, for all my bragging, I had barely even left Germany at that age. And yet here you are." He started as he toyed with an idea in the back of his mind, lord knows he's been putting this off long enough.

"There was one skill I had learned before I had left to travel the world, You might know it. Or to be more clear, you *Will* know it. Think you are up for it?" He said as he smirking knowingly at her.
"...Yes...That one..."

Rising Dawn: Bar: David West

David had to look around the room for a moment when he heard Angelus's voice, it was clear he was just off a hard session.
"Oh...Hey, Angie. Man, Did I do anything stupid last night? Just all I remember was at the bar, having my usual, then "Scene Missing" and the next thing I know I got this weird Butterfly tattoos on my wrists." He answered as he pulled up his selves to show them off.
"I'm still trying to figure how what the hell they are supposed to be. Did I go into a club or something?"
David West: Walking Example of Man's Mortality and lack of understanding of the world around them.
Or just needs to stop drinking so much, either or.

Rising Dawn: Brig: Deadshot

While the rest of the crew were getting settled, Deadshot was busy on his escape attempt from the brig though the sewer line.
Granted, at this point, he could have just asked to be let out, but with that Magical Debit Card in his hand, it was all he could think off and in his mind "THERE'S NO TIME FOR DOORS!".
As a result, it took several minutes, but towards the lower half of the ship, a panel was kicked out as the Assassin crawled out of it, covered in filth and...and-...Well, do I really need to spell it out? He crawled though the freaking Sewer line!
Still, he only had one thing on his mind: "I need to find an ATM." He told himself as he pulled out the card and began frantically looking for one.

 

[bluerocker]

Rising Dawn: Hallways: Rugal | Teri | Garm

"There was one skill I had learned before I had left to travel the world, You might know it. Or to be more clear, you *Will* know it. Think you are up for it?" He said as he smirking knowingly at her.
"...Yes...That one..."

Teri's eyes widened to the size of saucers at the offer, and gave the smallest squeak before trying to compose herself, still bouncing up and down faintly by her heels. However, Rugal could hear the excitement leak through as she gave a vigorous nod and answered with, [color=0E59E4]"I didn't you actually meant it when you mentioned it to Mum that one time! Not that I'm complaining, don't get me wrong! So, which training room?"[/color]

As for Garm, he gave a wolf-like chuckle, and a nod to Rugal before going off on his own to the halls of the Rising Dawn. With his Pup's mission of finding the others thrown clear out the window, perhaps he could fare better? The nose knew best...

Rising Dawn: Bar: David West | Angelus

Angelus gave a surprised cough-sounding laugh and looked over David's wrists, "Don't you remember? We've spent the last couple of days, at least, as far as time in that realm goes, in the Persona realm. Remember, Philemon, Nyarlathotep, wishes? Why, you bear one right there on your hands and you've clearly forgotten. What I'm wondering is how you've managed to get this drunk after waking up."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rising Dawn: Training Room 1: Rugal | Teri | Garm

With Teri's excitement leading the way, Rugal and her quickly went over to one of the private training rooms, the Former taking a moment to limber up a little.
"Right, now as you can imagine, the Kaiser Wave is a much more powerful projectile attack then the Reppuken. So much so, it's often considered impractical by some on account of the amount of energy that needs to be both stored and released in order to execute the attack." He explained as he hung up his Jacket and cracked his neck a little.
"Therefore, I will need to first see how much Ki or any other such energy you can use at any given time. On my mark, I want you to show me how well you've mastered the last move I taught you." He then added as he brought up a [link=http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters3/rugal-reflector.gif]
familiar green barrier[/link] over his arm as he walked over to center of the room.
"Your target is me so don't worry about having to hold back, merely keep using the Reppuken until you feel any weakness or discomfort. Don't make any attempt to mask either, it's important I know your limits before I teach you this and trying to tough it out will only make it harder for me to gauge it." He warned as he stood in the center of the room before turning to face the cleric.
"When you are ready..." Rugal finally said as he stood, barrier in hand to await her attacks.

Rising Dawn: Canteen: David West | Angelus

"....That would explain a lot alright..." David said wide eyed as he began to remember all that happened back in the Persona realm.
"Errr...Sorry, just usually when I wake up opposite a few bottles, it's like a kind of Placebo effect. I mean, why else would I be awake in front of some bottles? It also doesn't help that crazy shit like that is hard to tell apart from the normal madness of one of my nights out." He said as rubbed his eyes to wipe the sleep from them, eyeing up the tattoo's again.
"Urg, least We're back to normality until the next asshat looking for a favor, least this one was nice enough to give us something for our troubles." He then said as he noticed a lack of either Ton Ton or Cadolbolg.
"...Kids finally left the nest, eh?" He then remarked as he went over to get a water bottle to wash off with.

 

[bluerocker]

Wish I had thought of this sooner. Sorry! X-X

Rising Dawn: Mainframe

The two AIs looked at the scrawny(?) angel-like teen exhorting them for mercy and began to discuss among one another,

[color=3897E0]"Hmn.. I'm tempted to let him in."[/color]
[color=FF5349]"Can we trust him? We don't know who he is. Or for that matter, WHAT he is. As far as my datalogs go, he closely resembles one of the Angels, and our previous logs with them aren't-"[/color]
[color=3897E0]"Yes, but they were REBEL angels, defecting to a third party who was mad with a demonic force. Not a very good precedent. Not to mention I haven't heard of an Angel with black wings. Well...Perhaps Lucifer, but he's a special case."[/color]
[color=FF5349]"I see your Mistress has had quite the effect on you. But we can't let sentiment cloud our judgement-"[/color]
[color=3897E0]"We have before. After all, look at us now. Would we truly be as happy without it?"[/color]
[color=FF5349]"I- .... Point, but let's think of this logically. He tried to get in through our security. That's a big problem."[/color]
[color=3897E0]"But he did so with an obsolete passcode. Where did he get it is the question?"[/color]
[color=FF5349]"Actually, that was going to be my next point. He has an obsolete passcode, and was trying to interact with the older programming. This gives me a thought. Who in their right mind attempts to hack a place with an older passcode?"[/color]
[color=3897E0]"Someone with outdated information. Incredibly outdated information..."[/color]
[color=FF5349]"Which would mean-"[/color]
[color=3897e0]"Someone from, well, according to this update report, [u]quite[/u] some time ago, gave him the passcode. Wait, are you saying you're-"[/color]
[color=FF5349]"Yes, I'm agreeing with you. I'll send him the message that I'm opening the balcony door."[/color]

Of course, to two AI, such a short process of thought took a micro second in the real world, and (from Icarus' perspective), the two AI must have come to a conclusion quickly, because he saw the balcony door had opened, and he recieved another message on his device,

Subject: You're in
From: AI Dimtiri and Vermilion

[color=FF5349]

We have decided, on grounds that you seem somewhat familiar with our ship, as you have had a previous, and incredibly outdated, passcode; and your appeals to us have had us determine that perhaps you can be trusted. You will find the door to the balcony open, but with our trust being the deciding factor here. Please do not do anything that would breach it. Aside from that, you will begin to hear my associate Dimitri over the intercom. He will lead you to the canteen where you may be fed. Let the people in the Canteen know we allowed you in, and you will find their disposition revert to a Netural stance, instead of suspicious. Welcome to the Rising Dawn.

[Daft Sikes]

Boss | Edge | Icarus | Selena | Violet | Maka | [color=9BBED5]David Ashworth[/color] | Paul | Unimportant
Location: Hacker's Den (Tokyo City Center)
Time: Late evening/Early Morning (say around 2-ish)

David just watched the ongoing proceedings disinterestedly, barely even trying to keep his eyes open, until he heard a familiar sound. With that sound, came an odd pulling sensation, causing David to look over his shoulder. His eyes flew wide open at the sight. Another swirling green vortex had popped into existence, but this one seemed bigger. A lot bigger. And it was drawing closer, and the force of it's pull becoming stronger as it did. The student moved back, only to trip over one of the many boxes that littered the floor. With no support, the young man began sliding down into the interdimensional maw.
[color=9BBED5]"OH SWEET CHRIST! NOT AGAIN!"[/color] David shouted in fear, as he groped the ground for something to grab onto, before latching onto Violet's pant leg with one hand, eliciting a shriek from the scientist. [color=9BBED5]"HELP ME! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HELP ME!"[/color]

Unfortunately, the pull was too strong, causing him to fall to the floor as well. He embraced the fastened-down console, shrieking all the while, while Paul gripped his chair, which was, like the console, fastened to the floor. Everyone else was similarly getting sucked in, though unlike David, they had nothing else to grab on to, causing them to fall into the inky green abyss with barely any resistance. David tried grabbed Violet's other pant leg and pulling himself up to the machine, but his further tugging only resulted in Violet's pants coming loose and down to his legs, resulting in further shrieking. This sudden jerk in movement caused the student to lose his grip and tumble into the vortex, his cry echoing throughout the room. The moment David went through the portal, it quickly closed in on itself with a loud pop and disappeared from existence. It left no evidence of it being there, aside from the papers fluttering about the air, several toppled boxes, and a very shaken hacker and un-pants'd scientist .

Time: ???

[color=9BBED5]"[sub]aaaaaaaaa[/sub]AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-OOF!"[/color] David landed in the middle of the shuttle on top of a dazed pile of bodies causing the ship to further lose control, and spin through the darkness. "Ah DAMN IT! Goin' off-course!" The suited man sitting at the pilot's seat cursed, as he desperately tried to gain control of his vessel, narrowly avoiding one of the gigantic thorny vines that surrounded the planet. "I don't know where you dumb bastards came from, but you're going to wreck us!"

David sat up with a groan of pain, disregarding the fact that he was crushing the people beneath him, to look at his surroundings. It seemed that his entry into this dimension knocked a lot of equipment loose from the few shelves on the walls, with various mapping equipment, and what appeared to be the broken model of the ship they were in, scattered across the floor.

"WARNING! WARNING! Large, unidentified lifeform detected. Take immediate evasive maneuvers." An electronic voice blared from the controls of the ship, eliciting an enraged shout from the pilot. "Shaddap you stupid ship! Does it look like I can maneuver anything right now?!"
David looked out the ships window, noticing a bright light approaching. As it got closer, the light was pulled away, revealing a gigantic toothy maw. David felt the color drain from his face, while the cosmonaut desperately tried to pull away from the creature... To no avail.

"WARNING! WARNING! Main thrusters are offline. Please exit the ship an-*BZZT*"
"DAMN GOOD-FOR-NOTHING RUSTBUCKET OF A SHIP! I KNEW YOU'D BE THE DEATH OF ME!" Was the cosmonaut's last words before getting swallowed up by the giant anglerfish. Fortunately for the visitors, another portal opened up beneath them, saving them from the fate of their (temporary) driver.

The group landed in a pile once more. This time however, they were not hurtling through a hostile alien world, but were in the main deck of the Rising Dawn. David untangled himself from the mass of limbs and stood up shaking all over, and biting his lip hard enough to draw blood. He looked at his surroundings, wide-eyed, and jittery, preparing himself for the next portal that would show up to take him elsewhere once more.

A second passed...
Then two...

[color=9BBED5]"[sub]...aha.[/sub] Ha ha ha! AH HA HA HA HA HA! WHAT'RE YOU WAITING FOR, HUH?! DON'T YOU WANT TO DRAG ME SOMEWHERE ELSE AGAIN! I DON'T CARE ANYMORE! HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT!

The "divine" being
Location: Somewhere, Canada
Time: 8 at night

The man sat at his computer, resting his head on his desk, thinking to himself. After a few minutes, he stretched and let out a yawn, before shaking his head at the screen.
"Nah, I think I'm good."

 

[Orinon]

Rising Dawn: Canteen
Icarus entered, he was a bit nervous his wings tucked tightly they were wrapped around him he was holding tight to his cloak, he could feel his hands trembling a little.
"Ok just calm down and relax nothing bad is going to happen, Dad said they're all good guys in here
he entered the canteen, he saw two people a women in a red dress with blonde hair and a guy who looked like he had a rough night. he moved very quietly, they didnt notice him at first until he stepped on a bit of the wood that creaked louder, He froze knowing they'd turn.
"umm hello? Someone called Dmitri said it was ok I could come inside, I could really, really go for some breakfast."

Location: The Rising Dawn: Main Deck
Time: ???

After witnessing the horrors David goes through first hand, the "lunatic" seemed now to be rightfully so. That has to be absolute torture...

She unscrambles herself from what could pass for the aftermath of an impossibly crunched game of twister, and stands, walking over to him and places a hand on his shoulder. Looking him in the eye, she continues.

"Look... David, was it? Antagonizing whoever has the wheel is rarely a good idea. Shouting out all your frustration won't really solve anything, but I do sincerely hope it makes you feel better. If and when your done, I think it would be a good idea to find out where we are, and who else is here." She says, trying to take advantage of the situation at hand to the best of each of their abilities.

Still, she's been teleported about for at most the third time now. If this happens to David so rapidly on a regular basis... she'd probably go crazy too.

Regardless, she begins taking a look at her surroundings. The structure they've found themselves on, after a short... 3 minute look over? Looks like a sort of boat, but very advanced technologically. So much so that instead of racing through waves, it seems to be surfing the wind, made obvious due to the clouds rushing by at nearly if not an equal height, and the absence of solid or liquid beneath them.

In case Dmitri or Vermillion's sensors didn't pick up the group recently departed from a portal above deck with all the splendor and grace of a drawer full of silverware shot from a cannon... her finding and knocking on the door to below deck would likely tip them off...

Location: The Rising Dawn, Cargo Hold

In the depths of the ship, one of the cargo crates from the last time the ship took on supplies suddenly shudders. One of the panels pivots on hidden hinges, and a slight young-looking drow peeks out at the dark area, her eyes seeming to have no problem with the lack of light at the moment. Her lips purse slightly, muttering to herself. "A... ship, still? Something's not right..."

Spoiler: Character Information

Picture: http://i.imgur.com/HA7M64e.jpg
Name: Chris

Age: 125

Race: Drow

Origin: Seke Che'el, the True City. (Now destroyed)

Title: None

Clothing: A plain gray dress, with long sleeves that flows down to her ankles, gathered around the waist by a black leather belt that holds several pouches. She goes barefoot, but does have a wide-brimmed hat that adds some much-needed shade to her face.

Appearance: A slight-built drow female, with silver-white hair that flows down her back. Her eyes are a bright violet when she lifts her gaze high enough for people to see them, almost seeming to glow when the light is low. Her body is slender and lithe, not built for strength at all, with slender hands with quick fingers.

Weapons: Mostly fights barehanded, but can use daggers and carries several doses of sleep poison when possible.

Powers: Drow spell resistance, can turn into a larger, armored quasi-demonic form (http://r-chie.deviantart.com/art/Demon-Queen-323074491) when angered, giving her greater strength and armor as well as some flight capabilities and very sharp claws and spikes. Practiced at hiding and remaining unnoticed in most conditions.

Weakness: Dazed/dazzled by sudden exposure to bright light. Tends to fight to disable, rather than kill

Backstory: Was sold into slavery by her family at an early age due to her seeming lack of any useful talents. Spent the next decades learning how to stay out of trouble, unseen and unnoticed unless needed, picking up what secrets she could. Found a portal out of her home after being blamed for the actions of another and exiled. Tried to learn magic, but experienced a mishap that changed her body into a more monstrous, armored form; she has recently gained the ability to change between forms when needed, but she tries not to use it. Chris is not her original name, but a shortened version of her birth name she adopted when she left her homeland.

Rising Dawn: Training Room 1: Rugal | Teri

"When you are ready..."

Teri held out Sadei, and mentally asked for Sadei to become her bracelet form again. Upon equipping and hiding away Sadei properly, Teri assumed the harsher Fire Stance, a movement that she could already sense Toyotama gearing up for,
[color=0E59e4]"Oh hell yeah! Let's show the old man how much we've learned to kick ass with this move!"[/color]

Lining up her shot, the Cleric's face furrowed into a frown as she sent a Reppuken at Rugal's shield, following each with another until her spell stores were exhausted, and leaving the girl to resume a guard in Fire Stance. Now, from Rugal's perspective, Teri had sent four consecutive Reppukens in his direction, each growing stronger than the last before the final one hit - probably from her highest level of spell. It was at that point, Teri called out, [color=0E59E4]"In Fire Stance, I only have to wait 6 seconds before I do that again; otherwise, it's 12 seconds for each shot. I can't do a stream constantly like you..."[/color]

Rising Dawn: Canteen: David West | Angelus | Icarus

"Urg, least We're back to normality until the next asshat looking for a favor, least this one was nice enough to give us something for our troubles." He then said as he noticed a lack of either Ton Ton or Cadolbolg.
"...Kids finally left the nest, eh?" He then remarked as he went over to get a water bottle to wash off with.

Angelus gave a small nod, and her nibbling on her food ceased, "It's not that I can blame him, but Ton Ton wished to find his Mistress again. And Cadolbolg, being the little darling he is, followed after; exclaiming that's 'what pact partners do'. Of course, I believe it was also because he didn't want to get separated but.... It feels strange to be without our little ones."

The dragon-turned-human's introspection ended on an abrupt note when Icarus came into the picture, the woman in red staring at Icarus with an utmost scrutiny. Something seemed familiar about the boy, be it from the stature, or the features, or even possibly the wings she could smell under that cloak (down, and general 'birdy' scent); but the dragon was having a hard time putting a claw/finger upon it, "...Dilion? No, you're not. You're 'different' from him. Whom are you, and why did Dimitri of all people let you on?"

Rising Dawn: Main Deck: Boss | Edge | Selena | Maka | [color=9BBED5]David Ashworth[/color] | Garm | AI Dimitri

Garm wandered towards the party that had recently arrived (as he was still wandering about in the ship), a head tilt in confusion as Vermilion's feminine voice rang over the intercom, [color=FF5349]

"This is AI Vermilion speaking, identify yourselves. - Dimitri, take care of this group, I'm sensing something in the cargo hold."

[/color]

And it was at that point that Garm lowered his magical food sack to the floor and spoke up the intercom, [color=356D60]"I don't recognize the rest of them, but that one (David)... I know him. Don't you, Dimitri? We encountered him in the desert world."[/color] Of course, the newly arrived's possible defendant and benefactor to their case would probably be a bit less awkward were it not for the fact that it was a walking, talking, 4 and a half foot tall wolf [http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8t2skCZ661rtitxmo1_500.jpg].

There was a silence from the intercom, and a different voice answered, masculine and somewhat posh, [color=3897E0]

"You are correct, User: Garm. We encountered User: David Ashworth in the Western Universe previously, as well as in the battle against Deadshot's Metal Gear weapon. Now, this is AI Dimitri speaking, and would the rest of you please identify yourselves and explain how and why you've come aboard this airship? I hate to sound unwelcoming, but because of attempted break ins in the past, we've had to up the security...."

[/color]

Rising Dawn: Hallways Caim

Caim still wandered up and down the halls, searching for his protege, and possibly a clue about anyone else on the ship for that matter.

The Rising Dawn, Cargo Hold Chris | Vermilion

As Chris looked about in her surroundings, she heard a whirring sound (a camera adjusting) and a strange, unearthly, yet feminine voice ring and echo around the room, [color=FF5349]

"Is someone in here? Identify yourself, and you will not be harmed."

[/color]

 

[bluecrimson]

Rising Dawn: Hallway - Ella

While the others were just barely waking up, Ella had quickly woken up and tucked Devon in after muttering to herself about her Bard still being in that armor, taking the few moments of peace to glide through the ship with her new wings. Even if they had set it up for her good-for-nothing dad to get Ageha off that throne again, she honestly didn't want to deal with any of those politics again if she could help it. Besides, it's actually decent here, even if we couldn't get that damn sushi bar... there must be some sort of cosmic joke.

Rising Dawn: Outside the Training Room - Caim, Devon

Caim would Find Devon after she woke up from the long rest and had started wandering around in the ship in her light armor. [color=00c863]"Caim, you want to get a drink? I know, I know, we should be going to get some endurance training... but I do have a thirst for some lemonade here."[/color] Admittedly, being in the armor again did feel rather odd - then again, the last few days had been spent in clothing of Ella's choice...

[color=00c863]"Caim, you mind helping break it to Ella that I'm not in the clothes anymore?"[/color] She chuckled and scratched the back of her head, hoping to stave off the awkwardness as they hopefully went for a bite to eat. It'd help distract from the Cutie Bruisers being gone...

Rising Dawn: Slindis and Melethia's Room

The mother and daughter pair woke up with the green haired Elf pushing her mom off of her. "Mom, get off me..." Even with her strength, Melethia still found it hard to get her groggy mom off of her without help.

[color=c200]"Ugh... Mel, can I wake up a bit first?"[/color] The napping drow mother rubbed her eyes, noting with a small mental ping that Teri and Rugal were preparing to start training.

"You can wake up later; I wanna try some of those waffles that Sis told me about back in that city!" her enthusiasm was infectious, and after a few minutes the pair walked over to the canteen.

[color=c200]"Angelus, would you happen to be in the mood for some-"[/color]"-waffles? One way or another, I'm gonna make some!" Slindis ruffled Melethia's hair, making it clear at least one family had bonded a bit more while they were in that Japanese city.

The Rising Dawn, Cargo Hold Chris | Vermilion

As Chris looked about in her surroundings, she heard a whirring sound (a camera adjusting) and a strange, unearthly, yet feminine voice ring and echo around the room, [color=FF5349]

"Is someone in here? Identify yourself, and you will not be harmed."

[/color]

The drow freezes in place, only her eyes moving as she tries to figure out where the voice is coming from and how they managed to spot her so quickly. The only sound that comes from her is her breath before she sighs. If they've already spotted her, there's no reason to try and hide right away. "My name... is Chris. This isn't... where I wanted to be. How do I get back to Imora?"

 

[Orinon]

Rising Dawn: Canteen: David West | Angelus | Icarus
Icarus was surprised when he heard his father?s name but the woman was a bit intimidating he could sense the power coming off of her, that?s when he saw the two elves.
"D-did someone say waffles?" he suddenly felt more eyes on him a blush started surfacing on his face and he felt a trace of sweat, his mind started racing
"Can Dragons smell fear? Wait that?s Angelus, She wouldn't attack on instinct, then again Dad never said she was this scary, oh goddess their looking at me, say something act natural, "
"HIi" his voice choked out, sounding like a terrified squeak DAMMIT he could feel an illusion forming it was crude he was becoming just a bit transparent but the illusion flickered trying to maintain consistency, It was more or less created form not wanting to be seen.
"I'm umm I'm a friend?" he tried but he could feel his hands shaking he was nervous, Illusions were a two way street you could make other perceive reality wrong, but sometimes you could do it to yourself.
"I umm I was told this was where heroes gathered, I got a pass-code from... I got it from someone I know but it was outdated, I can show you the message Dmitri sent me"
He reached into his pocket for his handheld hoping they didn't assume he was going for a weapon, he started pulling out his Handheld, the small shiny black rectangle.

The Rising Dawn: Cargo Hold: Chris | Vermilion

Vermilion processed the location name and answered back, calculating as she discussed what to do with Chris, [color=FF5349]

"Location not identified in current databanks. Tone of voice suggests confusion. Evidence suggests a possible world traveler... I will send an escort for you, Stay where you are until her arrival. I am known as AI Vermilion, of several who help maintain the Airship Rising Dawn. Does this location sound familiar to you? "

[/color]

The Rising Dawn: Hallway: Ella

As Ella traversed the hallway, Vermilion's voice sprung through on the intercom, [color=FF5349]

"Ella, we seem to have caught a straggler in the Cargo Hold. From the data I've gathered, I believe she must have recently hopped dimensions or worlds, and may be distressed. Will you collect her and bring her to a more sociable aspect of the ship? Perhaps the Canteen? My databanks have suggested that food is a good source of diplomacy among humans."

[/color]

Rising Dawn: Outside the Training Room - Caim, Devon

The edges of Caim's face crinkled lightly into a smile, and the warrior gave a nod,

"I think a drink will be more than appreciated. After our battle, I think we deserve it."

Turning with Devon and beginning their move towards the Canteen, Caim went silent for a few moments as he considered Devon's question,

"As for Ella and your clothes, if she has a problem with you wearing armor, she can take it up with me!"

He smirked and flexed an arm for a moment before continuing,

"And even then, isn't what you wear up to you? I've been wondering why Ella had taken a sudden interest in your clothes..."

Rising Dawn: Canteen: David West | Angelus | Icarus | Slindis | Melethia

Angelus gave a wave to Slindis and Melethia, and put down a call for three waffles for her, "I'm starved half to death!" and then looked back to the increasingly nervous looking Icarus. The boy was shaking like a leaf on the wind. Without thinking much more about it, Angelus gestured towards one of the stools at the table, "How about you sit down and try to relax? If the AIs let you in, then there's no reason to panic, hmn? Slindis, I can hold off a moment longer. The boy can take my round of waffles, I'm starting to wonder if a lack of nutrition is starting to get to him."

As she said this, she got up and came back with a glass of water for Icarus, placing it by his side and asking, "How about you start with your name? Who told you come here?"

The Rising Dawn: Cargo Hold: Chris | Vermilion

Spoiler

Vermilion processed the location name and answered back, calculating as she discussed what to do with Chris, [color=FF5349]

"Location not identified in current databanks. Tone of voice suggests confusion. Evidence suggests a possible world traveler... I will send an escort for you, Stay where you are until her arrival. I am known as AI Vermilion, of several who help maintain the Airship Rising Dawn. Does this location sound familiar to you? "

[/color]

The drow shakes her head, still looking around for the source of the voice, or at least a feature she can talk to. Finding the camera, she decides that's the best option. "I've... seen an airship once, but... not one with an AI, and I've never... heard of this one in particular." She mutters softly. "That... explains how I got... spotted so easily..." as she reaches back into the crate she'd hidden in, pulling out a wide-brimmed hat and placing in on her head. All her worldly possessions now in place, she closes the crate back up and leans against it, waiting for whoever's supposed to come and escort her.
