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

Rising Dawn: Training Room: Rugal, Hien, Chris, Icarus, Nadalia, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, Angelus

Chris was both thankful and worried about the presence of her young friends throughout this unpleasant event. If they hadn't been here, she'd have probably lost her temper even more spectacularly. Still, their presence did remind her of the need for a measured, appropriate response to even someone like this. After all, it wouldn't do to set a bad example. However, getting slashed nearly from top to bottom did allow a rather wide range of appropriate responses, which she set about proving to Hien with a vengeance.

A single flap of her wings, along with a small push from her legs, was enough to send her over the sliding, rolling ninja. As she passed over him, her tails swung beneath her in scything arcs, slashing at his clothes, although his movements didn't allow for as much precision as she'd have liked, one point tearing open the fabric along one thigh, and the other along the opposite shoulder, leaving just the barest of scratches along his skin in either location.

As she landed, she tucked her wings in as she spun around, pivoting on one foot as the other kicked at the ground, sending her after her foe, claws outstretched, the armored spines of her wings covering her back as she came in low and fast, this time aiming for his stomach as he recovered from his maneuver. If done with true malice, those claws could disembowel him, but she was again going for the soft option, ripping and tearing at his shirt.

Hien was getting pretty reckless now, especially as Chris seemed to be toying with him, a slash around the shoulder, one around the leg, none of them even drawing blood.
"What is this? Get serious!" He said without a hint of irony as his white outfit was now rather torn up, a fact that rather displeased him, he liked this outfit.
Granted, this was before she lunged at him, claws out and aiming for his gut, guess she took his words to heart.
However, before she could land the hit, he slammed the hilts of his swords together to join them into a single double edged blade[footnote]Form 2 "Dragon Claw"[/footnote] before spinning it rapidly as a sort of shield to block the attack as well as dealing whatever damage running front on into a series of spinning blades dealt.

Following that, the Strider smirked slightly before seeming to teleport in a manner like in the canteen again, only this time, he reappeared behind the Drow before trying to plunge his Cipher like a spear though the right wing of Chris and pin it to the ground.

Back in the gathering crowd, Rugal was greeting the incoming crew.
"I doubt they will be needed, Chris seems to have it well in hand. Wish I had know that she had this power, then again, if she didn't want anyone to know, then I'd imagine they wouldn't. She's very good at hiding it. I sensed nothing during her time on this ship." He said to the Dragon as he watched Ton Ton and Cadolbolg go on like a bunch of excited kids at a wrestling match.
It was then that both Icarus and the newcomer Nadalia suggested a simple sparring match, guess the trill of the right was infectious.
"Well...Alright then, nothing too serious. Shall we?..." He said as he motioned for them to follow him into one of the side rooms, keen to get something to take his mind of Kazuya's current "operation".
Quickly taking off his suit jacket and adjusting his gloves slightly, he then looked at the others and asked "So Winner stays on or total free for all?"

All the while, Jenny and Blade managed to slip in, keen to see their "CO" get taken down a few pegs as the joined Ton Ton and Cadolbolg's cheering.
"GO FOR THE FACE! IT'S HIS WEAKNESS!"
"Look, his left arm is exposed! HACK THE BONE! HACK THE BONE!"

Location: Medical Bay | Rising Dawn.

While Storm and David were conversing, Teri entered the med bay, quickly going around touching everyone up with some healing magic, as well as helping with the burn wounds on Storm's face.
"Hey T, how did you get the miss-" Was all David was able to get out before she quickly ran out again, seemingly in a hurry.
"...Bye T?..." He then shrugged, though he was thankful his headache was now gone as he undid the bandages on his head.
"So you want to get something to eat after-..." He was going to ask Storm until he trailed off, something catching his eye.
"...Whoa...Check out the new girl..." He then said as he pointed to Furiae, currently browsing though one of the cabinets looking for something.
Quickly getting rid of the last of the bandages, he then picked up a metal bedpan and held it to his face like a mirror, quickly touching up his hair before discarding it.
Pre-combat checks completed, he then went over before asking "Hey there, you looking for something?"

Rising Dawn: Brig: Kazuya, Doom, Diabs

All the while, Kazuya was busy trying to pry some vital information out of Doom (I.E. Whatever was inside his tiny brain) as he and a few other G-Corp Soldiers set up a metal chair with some arm and leg restraints and a table.
Doom watched, shaking in his cell, back before Bison started his political campaign, they were there for one reason: To NOT end up in this situation, with a psychotic demon out for "Justice".
It didn't help that his former boss was in the cell opposite, seeming to enjoy watching him squirm.
[color=9F2B68]"Alright then, this is how this is going to work...I am going to ask you one question, you are going to give me one answer. One question, one answer. You give me the answer I am after, we don't have a problem. Otherwise..."[/color] He explained as Doom as dragged into the chair and locked into place, despite his struggles.
[color=004d]"Oo-o-o-or else w-w-w-what?..."[/color] Doom asked as Kazuya pulled out a rather Nasty Looking Knife from a suitcase.
Instead of answering Doom, he instead tested the blade against one of the steel bars of the brig, gripping it firmly before slowly bringing the blade clean though it, as if the metal was a piece of over-ripe fruit, repeating the act once more in order to pick up a segment of the metal bar and show it off to Doom.
[color=9f2b68]"And that's what it does to metal, I've yet to find out what it does to flesh and bone. Fail to answer my question and we'll both find out..."[/color] Kazuya then added as he pulled up a chair in front of Doom, holding the blade near his face as 2 frightened eyes looked at it.

[color=9f2b68]"Now then: Where. Are. The. Others?..."[/color]
[color=004d]"D-DD-D--D-D-D-D-D-DO-D-D-D-I-I-I-I-I d-d-d-on't know...."[/color] Doom answered as he closed his eyes and braced for the worst...
...
...
[color=9f2b68]"...Alright..."[/color]
Doom peeked his eye open to see a mostly calm face looking back at him as well as him seemingly putting the knife away.
[color=004d]"...W-w-wah?...y-y-y-you believe Doom?..."[/color] He said with a ecstatic look on his face as Kazuya seemed to smile back, causing him to lean back in and casually say [color=9f2b68]"...No."[/color]
This was then followed by him plunging the blade clean though Doom's thigh, travelling clean though it as well as the metal of the chair he was on.
[color=004d]"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"[/color]
"OWWWWWW, YOU JUST GOT FUCKING WRECKED SON! AHAHAHAHAHA!" Diabs mocked, rather glad to see the fat ass that got him locked up getting what was coming to him.
[color=9f2b68]"Hmmm...That was educational. Alright, now lets try that again..."[/color] He then said as he went to get another weapon from the suitcase.

"Hey there, you looking for something?"

Furiae looked up, and blinked with curiosity at the Irishman who filled her vision and gave a sweet smile, "Yeah, actually, I'm looking around to see if the ship has any of my serum on board."
She pulled up the sleeves to her dress, exposing a pair of bracers to the light. A small vial with cleared colored liquid was exposed for a moment, and then she pulled the sleeves back down, "It's a health thing. No big deal, I'm not contagious or anything, but it helps me keep going, you know?"

She paused for a moment before giggling and putting a hand to her forehead, "Oh right, where's my manners? My name's Furiae. And you and your friend are?"

Rising Dawn: Brig: Kazuya, Doom, Diabs, Teri, Garm

Spoiler: Some self indulgence. It's prior to walking into the Brig

Teri froze when herself and Garm arrived upon the scene, her eyes staring into space when she heard the screams. Garm looked up at his rider when she gripped his fur tightly, and gave a quiet, [color=356D60]"Tear-ri? Are you okay? You're shaking again..."[/color]

The cleric shook her head, and held her arms as if she were cold, [color=0E59E4]"N-no, I'm not okay! It's reminds me- [small]it reminds me of-[/small]"[/color]

[color=356D60]"It's that 'bad thing', isn't it? That thing you told Lucifer about, the reason you hated that purple guy and bad metal smells..."[/color]

Teri nodded at the identifying cause, and clung to Garm closer, before the wolf spoke up again, [color=356D60]"I- I get that it's scary, but if this is important to you, we need to keep going, or it's going to keep happening. You don't want that, right?"[/color]

The Cleric nodded slowly, and she could hear Toyotama speaking faintly on the edges of her mind, [color=0E59E4]"You really gonna back out now? Come on, we kicked a buncha shit stains into oblivion. We just gotta talk this monster down, so it'll be a piece of cake! Zone of Truth is a spell we got, and if worse comes to worse, we can prepare other spells to help. Let's get in there and stop what happened to us and Annie from happening again. Garm will be right here, won't chu' boy?"[/color]

The wolf gave another nod at the sudden speech of Toyotama's and wagged his tail, [color=356D60]"I'll always be by your side, Tear-ri. I promised you that."[/color]

The Cleric gulped, dismounted from Garm, and forced herself into the Brig. It was truly an awful sight, to see Doom shaking and crying from the damage Kazuya had wrought with a wicked looking knife. Teri placed a hand on Garm to calm herself, the other going to the amulet around her neck for a moment before she swallowed and spoke aloud, her voice shaking with a mixture of fear that the scene made her remember, and anger at what was happening:

[color=0E59E4]"S-stop this! Please, stop! There's no need for this cruelty!

Mr. Mishima, I overheard your conversation with Da-Captain Bernstein, and I came to stop you. I have ways- m-methods that can enact mercy and guarantee a truthful confession.
Yes, this person has done bad things, and has worked with other cruel and scary people, but that doesn't mean we have to sink to such a level of inhumanity that blurs a person between a man and a devil!"[/color]

Kazuya turned to glare at the Cleric as she called his attention, but she kept firm; Toyotama, Sadei and Garm acting as support as she spoke her convictions,

[color=0E59E4]"I can't allow this to continue in clear conscious. I will- I will fight you if I need to. I might not win, but I'll try. Please, just let me use my method, and I will guarantee I'll do the same method for each prisoner captured. I beg of you, please cease this torture!"[/color]

While he was wondering what exactly the serum was for, David was more then happy to help.
"Sure thing, we got a bit of everything around here. Name's David and yer man there is Storm. 2 of the resident members of our little flying gang, fighting the forces of evil and whatnot." He introduced himself as he went though a few of the other cupboards.
"Mightn't be the most well paying job in the world, but it's rewarding in it's own way. See new places, meet interesting people..." He explained, shooting Furiae a sly look as he said that second part.
"Alright, Furiae, there a code for that serum? I know a bunch of these meds are sorted Alphabetically or Numerically..." He then asked as he kept checking labels and such.

Rising Dawn: Brig: Kazuya, Doom, Diabs, Teri, Garm

Right as Teri entered, the two soldiers on the scene instinctively drew their weapons, 2 handguns being pointed at the cleric as Kazuya was in the process of asking Doom the question once more, this time holding a painful looking hammer against one of his cheeks.
[color=9f2b68]"Where. Are. The. Othe-.....Really?....What was the first thing I told you two? To lock the damn door!"[/color] He grumbled at his men right before he glanced over at Teri while Doom squirmed behind him.
[color=9f2b68]"...-The hell are you doing here?"[/color] He spat out, looking rather annoyed at the Cleric for her bold move.
While he was interested in what she had meant by "Methods that enact mercy", what really gave him pause was that mention of " inhumanity that blurs a person between a man and a devil".
[color=9f2b68]"............."[/color]
His eyes widened slightly at hearing that before he reaffirmed himself and said [color=9f2b68]"...At ease, You can stop pointing those at her now. And you. You have been given a wonderful chance to tell us what we want to know..."[/color]
Leaning back into Doom's face and gripping the knife in his thigh, slowly rotating it around for maximum discomfort.
[color=9f2b68]"It is very much in your best interest to tell us what you know and to not have me have to return...
Do I make myself clear?..."[/color] He asked, causing Doom to nod several times before Kazuya violent yanked the knife back out, dripping in blood as well as another pained cry from Doom.
Cleaning off the blade before putting it back in the suitcase, He then said [color=9f2b68]"Guards, Untie the Prisoner and watch over Ms. Gravel to ensure her safety. If he tries anything: Shoot. Him."[/color]
On that cue, he then looked at his watch before saying to Teri [color=9f2b68]"You have 2 hours. Make them count."[/color] and then leaving the room with his suitcase in hand.

All the while, there was grateful tears in Doom's eyes as he sobbed [color=004d]"T-t-thank you..."[/color]

Doom will remember that

Icarus was already warming up for the fight, stretching his arms and legs getting his muscles ready for a fight he touched the clasp of his black mantle he considered removing it for the fight, but he could do that later, why not have a little fun.
"Free for all is fine with me, Also since this is a friendly match I won't use my Illusion powers, I won't use my ki abilities if you don't either Rugal I've seen your Kaiser wave technique" He took a deep breath and got into his stane, it was a lot more static his arms hanging by his sides, he was very stil. his eyes on rugal, he was fixated on his target his violet eyes stared him down, there was something oddly...familiar about those piercing eyes. he could sense the Iron queen, as she called herself, she was an unknown target he had no information on her. Rugal on the other hand, he knew a lot about him,more than what Rugal would prefer.

Rising Dawn: Library Faust, Selena

Selena was more than a little nervous when.,.. whatever the hell was in here, dimmed her magic.
Her hand drifted to her hips, her wand like with many spell-casters, was merely a tool it was the most efficient and helped with her control but she could technically use any object, though some would break if used as an implement even once, The scepter was an ancient artifact and from how she observed it had it's own archaic magic. she removed the scepter from it's sheathe, she took a deep breath then focused she channeled all her magic into the scepter.
"Seek and Entrap the intruder" a ball of green light appeared and went directly after Faust this... thing felt cold it was like the entity from before you could practically feel like it was in the room with its glowing green eyes somewhere in this room watching, laughing. Selena collapse to the floor it was so cold in the library now, her breath in mist, she look around as her flesh erupted into goosebumps.

The RoomWesker, mysterious stranger

Wesker stood alone for a moment before suddenly he had an image of glowing green eyes it was close impossibly close
"Faust is approaching the target and will soon have the object I did not send you as One agent would be all I would need, for now you Wesker I have different plans for you. The election in the new world, there is a man easily our best candidate for our influence we must have him win, by any means.
The opposition may find some of our candidates past history Its imperative that any and all files referring to our friend running for president, never surface. You are a man of technology yes? could those files be removed from existed or at the least placed where none could ever find them?"

Chris wasn't fast enough to completely pull her swipe back from the spinning blades, sparks flying as they chipped a little of her guantlets' armor away, although no real harm seemed to be done despite her hiss of pain. She pulled her hands back just in time to see Hien disappear; she wasted no time scuttling forward, just ahead of his thrust as the Cipher buried itself in the mats of the training room. Hien had a bad habit of always glancing to the area he teleported to just before the fact; something Chris had been unable to put together before his first attack.

Hien had made another mistake, trying to get behind someone who was already very well armed in the rear. Her tails wrapped around his arms, coiling tightly enough for the edges of each segment to catch on the fabric and rip them away, leaving him bare-armed. As if that weren't enough, one leg swung out in a wide arc, over the hilt of the sword, aimed squarely at his head. If the leg didn't catch him, there's a good chance the extended wing following closely behind the leg would as Chris spun around to face him again before standing up from her crouch. "I'd prefer not to have to kill you. It's not completely your fault you're an idiot, after all."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rising Dawn: Training Room: Hien, Chris, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, Angelus, Blade, Jenny

Needless to say, things could be going better for Hien as he missed his attack and got kicked in the face as a result, the clawed foot slashing across his face while his arms were restrained.
The effects were instant as he recoiled, dropping his weapon and bringing his hands to his face as he whined in pain, partly because getting slashed in the face, but mostly because his good looks now had a series of nasty slashes going over them.
"AHHHHHHH! MY FACE! MY FACE! ARGHHHH!" He screamed as he rolled over on the ground, She knew that is wasn't THAT painful, but for all her introvertism, she didn't have massive inferiority complex issues.
But when she called him an idiot, that's when he he lost it, looking up at her from the ground, 4 bloody running across the side of his face, including one over his eye that looked actually pretty painful.
"....You-....Demonic twisted WHORE! Ohhhh, I'll remember this. And I promise you, I will be the last face you'll ever see on this earth!" He threatened as he backed away slightly, totally not retreating in anyway. Nope. Not a chance, what made you think that?

Meanwhile, the crowd cheered on.
"YEAH! SEND ME OUT WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT, WILL YA!?"
"HE'S DOWN! FINISH HIM!"

Rising Dawn: 2nd Training Room: Rugal, Icarus, Nadalia

"Alright, fair fight it is. May the best man, or woman win." Rugal finally said as he began to ponder who to strike first.
In the end, he went for Icarus first, namely because he knew what Angel's could do and perhaps not focusing on Nadalia could bait out an attack to help him get an idea of who he was dealing with.
To this end, he opened up his offensive, dashing in forward before suddenly changing his momentum and kick off one of the walls to try and nail him with an overhead punch to the skull

Wesker-..."Dr. William Birkin"

"...I do hope you don't expect these parlor tricks to work on me..." Wesker sighed as the stranger tried to intimidate him with the green eyes and knowing his actual name, as a professional criminal and someone who has lived for several years with a evil telepath, it didn't really phase him.
The mention of the election did somewhat, partly because it might ruin Bison's scheme before they were ready but mostly because it would ruin Bison's scheme before they were all in a position to quietly slip away and avoid all the fallout should it fail (Because fuck moving back in with Max for another year or two).
"Well, first off, it depends on the past. Not all sins are equal, but if it's something major like a UN Conviction, you're better off not touching them, Not worth the hassle. Though it would take longer, you are better off grooming your own candidate from the ground up rather the latching onto someone. That way if your interests no long align, you don't have to worry about the president knowing your plans and acting against them.

Second, it depends on the files and their location. Once it's up on the internet, It's like catching smoke, Impossible and any attempts to do so will only make it even more noticable. However, if it's a simple blackmail situation you want to avoid, then it's just a matter of finding the storage device and any possible backups and wiping them. I would then suggest going the same for everyone who has come into contact with them.

Third, it depends on the Candidate. For example, no one is going to be shocked when it's revealed that our current President had a drug conviction, nor Armstrong had some corruption charges thrown out due to more corruption. Sure, I'll affect a few poll numbers, but in the grand scheme of things, they will be forgotten about the next time someone else says something stupid. On the other hand, it would also seem strange if all record of a notable event in the candidate's life was to suddenly vanish right before an election, which may also lead to grabbing smoke.

Finally, it depends on the price. I am one of the most important people in the US Military Industrial Complex making 7 figures monthly and with all the job security I could want, provided the Pentagon gets a new toy every few months.
I've learned from experience that investing my time and effort in pursuit of some world order won't mean jack if the plan is ruined and, regardless of what you might think, no plan survives first contact with the enemy and I'd rather my livelihood not be solely tied to one succeeding, especially when I'm on a "Need to know" Basis..."

Kusanagi

When Kusanagi looked around the residence, he found who she was looking for right where he last left himself.
Behind a false wall in the basement and locked behind several doors was a heavy metal coffin with a post-it note saying "FFS don't wake me up".
Under it all was a young male author, who had taken the liberty of impaling his skull with a massive spike so he could get some "Shut Eye".
Once all the layers were worked though and the spike was removed, She then watched as his skull knitted itself back together, followed by his eyes opening and a groan:

"...Knew I should have went with a Massive Neon Sign instead...If your selling something, I ain't buying. If you want me to grant you a wish, I don't care about your mother's cancer. If you want a date, I'm trying to kill myself, not get laid and if you are into fucking dead guys, then I still tell you to go fuck yourself instead. Now put that thing back in, I like not having this retarded brain of mine inside my head..."

Rising Dawn: Training Room: Hien, Chris, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, Angelus, Blade, Jenny

Amazing. Simply amazing. Hien had gotten himself into this mess by opening his big mouth, and was still trying shove both feet in there at once? It only took two strides for Chris to tower over him before she reached down with one hand to pick him up by the neck and chin. She didn't seem to display any sympathy for his face, either, not after the cut he'd inflicted on her body. "What's the matter? Don't like it when I get serious?" She lifted him up to eye level, one tail wrapping around his waist for additional support so she doesn't choke him. In a low growl, she started to explain the facts of the matter to him. "First of all, I'm neither a demon, nor demonic. A demon wouldn't let you live. Trust me, I've seen what they do to their victims." Of course, she did have her own victim in hand, didn't she? She cuffed him with the back of her hand across the face. "Second, watch your language. There are children present, after all." Her free claw and tail started to meticulously tear away almost every scrap of clothing Hien was wearing as she continued to verbally tear into him as well.

"Yes, I'm sure you will remember this." Her tail wrapped around his boot, yanking it painfully off his foot. "If you're smart, you'll remember this the next time you think to bully someone who doesn't look like they would fight back." The other boot followed suit soon after, the pointed tip of the tail slicing the pants legs the rest of the way. "Perhaps you'll think twice and let them be. But I doubt it." The tatters of his top were fairly easily removed already, leaving the hapless Hien in just a pair of tight white Speedos - with an obvious pair of rolled up socks sticking out the top. She rolled her eyes and tossed the man aside with more than a little force, sending him rolling across the mat. "In any case, I think we're done." She smiled coldly. "And if you're really lucky, the scars will actually make you look dangerous."

She turned her back on Hien and walked over to the side of the training room, leaving the sword still stuck in the floor. She took a towel from the rack, even though she didn't appear to be sweating, and wrapped it around her torso moments before her body began to shine purple, the wings and tails and horns fading, leaving the 'normal' drow behind as she pulled the now loose towel tighter against her. She looks at Ton Ton and Cadolbolg, suddenly looking very tired, an angry red gouge from Hien's cut running down her chest from one shoulder and disappearing underneath the towel. "Did... my salad arrive yet?"

 

[Kalastryn]

As Violet ignored the red flags brought up by ARES' system, she did not. Considering the fact that Violet was looking into ARES "mind," and not actually possessing of it himself, he would not really understand what an antivirus would "sound" like.

Spoiler: The nagging "sound in the back of ARES' head.

The sound started blasting the loudest when the directory on Katya's phone actually went into the file directory for the Arclight's files... which needed 85 passwords to even get a glimpse. Clutching her ears for a reason unknown to (though probably able to be reasoned out by) Violet, ARES went for the IT approach. The heavily armored droid seemed to pass out for a second. Waking up with a blueish flash from their eyes. Unfortunately for both Violet and Katya as she did so, the holographic keyboard and display at violet's hands were gone in the same flash, and Katya's smart phone seemed to freeze up. "Doc..." she says, addressing Violet. "When you see an antivirus alert pop up from the hard drive of a sentient supercomputer from the future, you do NOT IGNORE IT! ... As for file transfer, I will be able to draw the blueprints out for you later, for now though, I'm prepared to shoot both any device that tries to connect to my hard drive and the person operating it until there isn't anything left of either of them to shoot." She says, being rather nonchalant about the fact that she just basically threatened the lives of anyone on board. Then again, with a gun that would make the heavy from TF2 jealous and being as armored as you'd expect a human shaped military tank to be... it's kinda hard to argue.

He kept his guard up in case of Nadalia he also didn't plan on doing any sort of severe attack when Rugal was down, as this was not a serious fight.

Katya vs. Wanderer

Wanderer, seeing how the female responded to his claim, he lightly pushed her off, grumbling at the state of his slightly cracked, and now dirty helmet. Sitting up with slow movement, Wanderer decided to take his helmet off, to not only become hopefully less hostile in this girl's eyes, but to assess how much blood he lost from that fall. Panting heavily, he looked inside the helmet, and immediately back to Katya. "Ha ... ha. First thing first. Allow me to apologize for that sudden act of aggression, I was drugged from that plant, and my ... well, other personality took over. As you can see, he isn't very nice. The name is Wanderer, and I hope I am forgiven ... ah." Wanderer said, as he touched his bullet-riddled arm.

"... I'm going to need more drugs for this." He said, as he pulled out a old-looking syringe from his coat.

, Edge, David West and Furiae.
Location: Medical Bay | Rising Dawn

In the Medical Bay, Storm was listening to David, whilst scratching at his bandaged face. He was irritated at the itchiness coming from his burned half. Yet when David mentioned "playing nurse", he immediately stopped, and was starting to somewhat blush. "That would be-, wait, no, I have to do what is important ... and I am thankful for the help, but I should just tell her the truth, besides lying would just cover my ass ... ." He said and gave a shameful gesture, which also stopped the blushing.

Looking through the supplies, Storm found a burn spray, hoping it would aid the painkillers, and help make him more comfortable. Storm turned around as he heard, "Hey T, how did you get the miss-" from David. Fully turned around, he saw Teri attend to everyone, and when she finally left, a comfortable feeling was left in the air. Storm's itchiness ended thanks to the aura, and more of the pain left him thanks to the Cleric's spells. David ended with a, "...Bye T?...". Storm nodded at the sniper. "Considering what happened in the operation, everyone is hurt in some way. This is a busy place." Storm said as he sprayed inside his bandages.

About to nod towards David's suggestion to go to the canteen, he also noticed the girl, and when he came to introductions, Storm gave a casual wave. "As David said, the name is Storm, a codename, yes, but I feel that it has become my name in recent times. About the serum, I heard that the local nutjo-" Storm said, but as he was about to talk about the serum, the doors to the room creaked open. "Stooooop." A low sounding groan cried out.

"Speaking of the devil ... " Storm muttered. Wanderer slowly hobbled into the room, using a large blade as a walking stick. He somehow managed to walk over to the central table, which had a bulky item covered in a white sheet, which was slowly moving, and a part of the sheet was blowing, as if something breathed on it. Wanderer, who saw that the sheet was still intact, gave a sigh of relief. "Thank God~" He muttered.

"Hey Doc, if I remember, you had some weird serum that sparkled ... and that you healed that former prisoner with it?" Storm asked. Wanderer who was breathing quite heavily turned his head slowly as he tried to sit on a chair. "Y-yeah, what about it?" Wanderer said, looking to David, and then Furiae. His eyes opened, and he scrambled to look formally in the chair. "Um, I believe I have not had the pleasure. I am the ship's Doctor. You may call me Wanderer ... i-if you wish." He suttered and tried to end with a awkward-looking bow.

"What's all this about serum?" He said, trying his hardest to sound formal and not from a place that would serve your liver as a gourmet dish.

Ares | Katya | Violet

"blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah... I'm prepared to [try to] shoot both any device that tries to connect to my hard drive and the person operating it until there isn't anything left of either of them to shoot." Said Ares as she counter hacked Katya's Smart Phone, which Katya had expected seeing as how she was dealing with a CYBORG FROM THE FUTURE (sort of like a Terminator but with manners). Seeing as how Katya was expecting the counter hack, she switched from the Virtual Machine that her phone had been running and prepped "T3H Z0MB3H H0RD3" for attack. Seeing as how Ares had mentioned that it would blast any machine and operator attempting to access the directory that Katya was interested in, she figured that Ares would have quite a bit of a problem tracking down all 5000+ machines that were apart of "T3H Z0MB3H H0RD3."

"R3l3as3 t3h h0undz!" Katya exclaimed as her finger hovered over the execute button.

"Katya!" Came the rather familiar and quite stern voice of Penny over Katya's comms, "What do you think you're doing? That... 'machine' that you're trying to hack said that it would shoot whomever attempted to access whatever file you're attempting to access. Seeing that you're about to ignore that little warning, I though I should remind you that the machine that you're about to intrude helped you out in the Chemical Plant."

"Oh god, here comes the lecture." Katya said, rolling her eyes.

"Don't you roll your eyes, Katya Rostikova."

"But how did -" Katya started to ask, wondering how it was that Penny knew that Katya was roling her eyes.

"If you remember correctly, you promised that you would act appropriately with people who either attempt to help you or harm you. That was one of the conditions that I made when I let you out on this merry march of mayhem. Do I need to go through all the other rules that you've broken?" Penny asked, clearing her throat to recite the list regardless of how Katya answered the question.

"No, you do-"

"No breaking and entering. No water boarding. No overly gratuitous killing. No cursing. No taking the Lord's name in vain. No sexual encounters with men. No sexual encounters with women. No bathing in the blood of your victims..." Penny said before Katya cut the comms link.

"For crying out loud!!" Katya cursed loudly, looking at Violet and Ares who were probably looking at the young woman strangely since she appeared to be talking to herself... and normally at that.

"Wut?!" KatyR asked before storming off, pissed that her fun had been ruined, walking down random corridors in search of whatever there was to be had on this GORRAM AIRSHIP (hah Penny!), until she opened a door and found herself in the Brig, complete with prisoner in the form of Doom, the guy that they had been searching for in L.A, who appeared to be crying of all things.

"J33z j00 m@d3 h1m cry?" Katya asked the woman that was in the room with Doom, "B@d@zz! C@n 1 h3lp?"

B3WP | Deborah | Selmy | Titania

Though B3WP had not been programmed to have a sense of humor or to recognize the telltale signs of cuteness, it recognized the scene between the two lovers as having all the traits of something that Little Miss would have found both humorous and cute. Instead of reacting, the golden nano-agent sphere sat silently as it observed Miss Deborah carry off Miss Titania into what the machine swarm assumed was the bedroom (unless for some reason Miss Titania slept in an oven or a bathtub).

"Yah!'Tis not like da bastard can star' Observerin' another Observer!" Miss Titania said from where she lay. Truth be told, however, the concept would make sense logically. Having bonded with Little Miss, B3WP had stored a great deal of information on Little Miss's thought patterns. In doing do, B3WP was beginning to gain insight on what it was to be human. Truth be told, however, were it have bonded with someone else, B3WP might have progressed a bit further. Were Subject Blackharte to start controlling one of these so called Observers, Subject Blackharte would be able to exponentially expand its army with but one step. Taking into account the Nobility Sentiment that a vast majority of the gaming simulations that Little Miss played, B3WP concluded that it would be unlikely that an Observer would actively assist Subject Blackharte, at least not voluntarily.

Returning its sensor array back towards Miss Deborah, B3WP began to voice its concerns.

"Miss Deborah, from what you stated earlier in this conversation, 'he cannot observe a character that is stronger than himself lest the Observer become the Observed.' Are there Observers that could be classified as weaker than Subject Blackharte?" B3WP queried as he rolled/oozed over to Miss Selmy's unfinished meal and began absorbing it (Food, Plates, Bowls and Utensils).

Katya vs. Wanderer

"Ha ... ha. First thing first. Allow me to apologize for that sudden act of aggression, I was drugged from that plant, and my ... well, other personality took over. As you can see, he isn't very nice. The name is Wanderer, and I hope I am forgiven ... ah." Wanderer said, as he touched his bullet-riddled arm before taking out an old looking syringe and injecting himself with it. If it hadn't been for B3WP's analysis of the contents of the syringe, Katya might have laughed at Wanderer for injecting himself with the chemical cocktail while complaining about drugs.

"#What3vz." Katya said simply as she looked at her legs, or more appropriately the giant friggin' holes in her pants where Wanderer's laser beams had burnt a hole in them... her favorite pair of jeans mind you. With the level of magnitude of the damage that had been inflicted on her attire, not to mention the sheer amount of bodily fluids that had accumulated on them as well, Katya required a quick change of clothing, which she opted to do right in front of Wanderer.

Now Wanderer, before you get any big ideas, a large matte black panel materialized itself around the young woman as she changed (You can thank B3WP for that).

"0h y3@h, I'm Katya," Katya said in her internet slang as she tossed the damaged pants to the side, "I gu3zz j00 g0t a g00d excuz3 4 @tt@ck1ng m3, ummmm, so j00'r3 f0rg1v3n and I gu3zz I'm s0rry t00."

Hardly the most apologetic apology but Katya was still sorta mad about her pants.

"I d1dn't r3ally h@v3 a gud r3@s0n t0 @tt@ck j00." The Young Hacker Herine admitted as she tossed on a fresh set of undies and pants, "c3pt I pl@y v10l3nt v1dy@ g@m3z?"

Rising Dawn: 2nd Training Room: Rugal, Icarus, Nadalia

Quick thinker... Rugal pondered as he was driven into the ground by Icarus, kid did have something in between his ears after all.
Though that judgement was a little premature as Nadalia kicked him upside the head, giving him the time he needed to both recover and strike back.
After Icarus's face was introduced to the wall, Rugal quipped "My turn..." and laid both hands on Icarus's back before returning the favor, using his much larger mass to swing the Angel's body right back into the dent where his skull had already impacted, hoping to disable him long enough to focus on the newcomer.
Using the wall once more, he leap back against it before kicking himself off it, launching himself off it with his foot out and aimed for Nadalia's skull. ("Jaguar Tooth!"[footnote]Video Visual Aid[/footnote])

Wesker-..."Dr. William Birkin"

"Very well, just know that it's a lot easier to sell the idea of "Unlimited Power and Wealth" when you yourself have them in your procession." Wesker pointed out as he walked around the darkness, stopping for a moment to crouch down and tap the "floor" of this area with his gloved hand, seeing if this was in fact some kind of shadow realm or if he was just in a mundane but really really dark room.
"Still, before I leave, I don't suppose you will inform me of what Candidate's laundry you were hoping to bury. Unlike most voters, I tend to look in a little deeper into my representative then what letter is next his or her name. I might even do that job then" He then asked, after all, if it was a possible threat to Bison (And by extension, himself), then being aware of it couldn't hurt.

Ares | Katya | Violet

"What?! I didn't do anything!?" Violet instantly protested, proving Ares's point in the process, he DIDN'T help with counting that hacking attempt, though it seemed the killer robot from the future had things well in hand as she shut it down.
It was then he looked over to Katya right before her mother(?) gave her a stern talking too for trying to hack the android.
"Oh, I swear, you better not try to hack company computers. Because I'll know about it!" He then shouted at the teen before she storm the room.
*Sigh* Bloody Millennial's. Back in my day, you were lucky if your mobile phone could even call people, let alone have enough processing power for a cyber attack...Please accept my apology, I got more then a bit distracted with your Firmware. It's some of the most advance I've seen. Ee-e-especially the weapon systems, but you won't need to, uh, use those here..." He then said to Ares, slipping in a complement to try and avoid the wrath of the angry, angry android before she shot the place up worse then the LAST pissed off woman with massive amounts of fire power (Nadalia)

Rising Dawn: 2nd Training Room: Rugal, Icarus, Nadalia
Icarus was on his knees he snarled, he had hoped this would be a fair fight, but if that was how they inteded to play then the weights were coming off, he unclasped his mantle it sipped down his back and fell to the ground he then with some effort pulled off his tunic revealing a dark blue undershirt, he then unshackled his heavy black boots he stood up in black leggings and a navy undershirt he felt a lot lighter, without his chain-mail he was lighter than even normal. he jumped high into the air and used his wings to boost up into the air he then executed a drop kick onto Nadalia's back just as Rugal's punch was about to impact.
"I guess honor is OPTIONAL" he growled his pupils seemed narrower almost like slits, as he glared, those eyes piercing right through whomever they looked at.

Rising Dawn: 2nd Training Room: Rugal, Icarus, Nadalia

"No, but all Royalty does enjoy a good speech now and again..." Rugal smirked as he watched Icarus get hit with Nadalia as she touted on about how "He was worthy" and who "Glorious this fight was", bloody hell, it was a sparring match, not to decide the fate of the universe!
As Icarus ate the counter attack, he went about planning his opening, no point blindly charging into someone who's expecting it.
Still he casually walked around his target in a rather relaxed manner, almost jarringly so, Icarus was currently on the other side of the Iron Queen so if he was attack him, he'd have to go though her any way, causing him to refocus his efforts as a result.
"Having said that, I wouldn't say there is no backing down. I mean, it's not like the door to this room is locked or anything..." He quipped as he drew his fist back, pausing for a moment.
Waiting for the next time she opened her mouth, he then quickly closed the gap between them with a strong chamber punch to the face. ("Hayate!"[footnote]Gif Visual Aid[/footnote])

Ares | Katya | Violet | ???

As Katya fled the room and Violet demonstrated a rather interesting attempt at flattering ARES in an attempt not to get "Swiss cheesed" (not that there was too much worry of that in the first place, as long as no one tries connecting to her cranium.) A strange...

Spoiler: Unidentified door-like object...

Appeared in the floor, and as it did so, the room got a wintery chill from what was on the other side. ARES spun up their gun in defense of Violet from whatever the hell it was. Though jumping up through the door as it disappeared beneath the newcomer was, as a breath of fresh air to the G-Corp employees... A completely normal looking human woman, with

Spoiler: A rather interesting attire.

but little else appearing noticeable.

Taking a look around, and keeping half a view on the machine with a giant gun at all times, they ask. "This is the Rising Dawn, correct? I've jumped through about 4 dimension doors on the way here... much to the confusion of quite a few air-crafts." She says, as ARES spins down their machine gun and keeps herself placed between the stranger and violet, [footnote]No offense to the other employees, he just seems to be an asset what with all the technical know-how... you know?[/footnote] activating the projectile shield instead, seeing as how the stranger wanted to talk... at least for now.

Rising Dawn: 2nd Training Room: Rugal, Icarus, Nadalia
Icarus snarled as The Iron queen used another fire spell on Rugal it was clear that Rugal planned on fighting fair this queen did not.
"Oh yeah? If you think so then predict this then." he suddenly launched a black lightning bolt it arced right for her but the lightning seemed to not actually seem to hurt that when suddenly the air was cold and heavy as Icarus swung his leg to deliver a devastating kick from behind.

" Do you think I have power only in my muscles? I merely was throwing away my best tools for it to be easier but ifyou wish to hold yourself to such standards I'll gladly oblige." Icarus's eyes were slits and his skin seemed like ice his wings looked bigger and more ragged, black blood dropped from a busted lip as he snarled showing long canines. he aimed his finger and another back bolt hit the queen this time it hurt, a lot.

Katya, Wanderer

First thing the Wanderer heard from the girl, was her use of language. As she spoke, Wanderer cocked his head in wonder. The personal use of language and tone almost confused him to an extent, but he was able to align Katya's words with his own mental dictionary. "uh-huh." Wanderer said, whilst tapping his head, he was positively intrigued about how she got like this, and soon he was running multiple diagnoses.

Once the "panel screen" materialized around her, a unsurprising voice entered the unofficial Doctor's head. ("[sub]Oh come on, at least give us one pee-![/sub]") His shadow responded in disappointment, but was cut off by the normal Doctor's current mental dominance. Instead of pondering mental diagnostics, he noticed that he was treating Katya more like a subject, rather than a being. So trying his best to be a gentleman, he turned his head to the side.

"Um, you don't really need to say that. I was ... in a wrong state of mind." Wanderer said, wearing a embarrassed small, which is usually out of character for him. ("Maybe I should be less of a Doctor once in a while ... ") He thought, reminding to himself that he is still human, even as he remembered the outburst before confessing that he isn't human anymore in the canteen. Giving a sigh to depressing thoughts and memories, Wanderer turned back to Katya.

"Our ship has quite the technology. Two helpful AI, one anti-social, somehow physical and sexually active AI, and all hosted on a flying airship." Wanderer said, almost having pride in the old relic. "The Rising Dawn is pretty great, even if I don't understand all the current technology. It's become home to many people, including myself ... [sub]even if I live on my roof-shack[/sub]." He said once more, keeping quite about how he lives on the cold roof.

He looked over to the ruined pants. Feeling slightly guilty. After all, everyone who puts holes in his clothes usually get blown apart. ("Should ... should I ask ... no, no, I know nothing about girls.") Wanderer thought, his mind was actually guilty for once, and he almost tried to buy her some new pants, but his own world had taught him, that a life of luxury and romance was nuked to dust.
