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

[StormShaun]

Shoot, I almost forgot about this. Sorry.

Spoiler: Meanwhile, all of the badass!

The President of the United States Saints., Pierce, Shorn, and Johnny Gat.
Location: White Crib | USA: DC | Avatar Adventure.

The President's face finally showed a smile. "At least something is going well ... and it is only going to get better." He said, his tone which could only be described as excited. Pierce and Shorn, gazed at the door awaiting for that man Yet, with no kick or loud noise, the door was opened from the other side, and Johnny Gat stepped into the room, dressed in his combat gear, a rifle on his back, and two knives at his side, that have dried blood which nobody could tell if it is fresh or not.

Spoiler: Johhny Gat

"Hey Boss, sorry for taking so long ... a couple of bitches didn't want to die" Gat said casually. The Boss President immediately got up, and gave his best friend a roman handshake. Letting go of each other's wrists, The President sat back down. "Tell him the details guys." He said, indicating to Pierce and Shorn. After talking about the assult, calling out Vincent, when the topic of Shaundi came up, Johnny immediately got up from his chair, wearing an angry look. "Easy, we go get her, and kill the bastards who did this!"

The other three, including The President looked awkward. "That's the thing ... tell him Pierce." The Boss said, which Gat looked at Pierce with intensity. "Spit it out Pierce."

(unarmoured)

, David West, Furiae, [color=eca222]Bartender(?)[/color], [color=0E59E4]Teri[/color], [color=356D60]Garm[/color], Katya (I like all the colors, okay?)

His head still ringing after...whatever he just saw on TV, David was about to make his move before Storm walked in, prompting another groan, "Oh now what? Did Wanderer have that fucking thing procreate or something?"
Still holding his head as he talked about the President, the sniper said "Eh, Kaz said the guy is a bit of hot head, kinda see what he means now. Think he'd figure out something better then telling him "I'mma fuck yo shit up" on national TV..."
The topic the moved onto Wanderer and how David seemed to have hurt his feelings a little after their last meeting.
"...Look, I feel for the guy, I really do, even when I don't. But...Come on! He carries around dis-embodied mutant heads, looks at people's shit for fun, And I mean that literally, and basically acts like mad scientist when he's not a psycho! If he wants some help turning his life around, fair enough, I mean, I'll help him if he asks, but seriously...That shit ain't right and I'd REALLY wish he'd cut back on it a little. None of that crap back in the Med-Bay would have happened if he didn't try to do the whole "My First Frankenstein" thing..."
"...Frankenstein was the name of the doctor, not the monster."
"Ohhh, get out of here and fix ya relationship while I try to make one of my own. Good luck, Man." he finally said as the two parted ways and he began to make his way towards his date.

Following a brief interaction with the new "Bartender", he then sat down with Furiae and began to talk.
"Well, first off, I'd like to know a bit more about you, Got the name and the face down, but I'd love a few more tidbits for the personnel file, Background, occupation, Phone number.." He said with a wink and a chuckle, even if that was totally lost on the former princess.
"As for me, Well, what you see is what you get. Son of Mr. And Mrs. West of Cloonkeen, Castlerea, Roscommon, Ireland. If you've never been there, don't blame ya. Nothing but cows and rain. Military man, did a few tours of service around the globe before I signed up here. Seeing how I'm still alive, must be doing something right..." He went on as "Luke" dropped him off a glass of water and a pair of pills.
Slipping him a tip before downing the pills, he then asked "And yourself? Judging from the Kunai's you flashed back in the Medical Bay, you are in the business as well, I take it?..."

The Storyteller

"Titania held onto Ruby, forcing her head against her beating heart. Lambda took Deborah's hand and pulled her out of the cab. Titania whispered into Ruby's ear, 'I'm not afraid of flying.' Selmy looked at Lambda and Lambda looked at Selmy. They looked mostly the same, save for some minor differences. Despite seeming younger Lambda was more developed than Selmy and had hair of a duller blonde. 'Be wary of that one Ruby, she could be dangerous.'

'Astute observation Ruby,' Lambda said. Her voice was dripping with forced politeness. Her eyes were a deep blood red. The color was so intense it was unsettling. Lambda continued, 'You could say I'm her eldest surviving sister. Truth be told there are thirteen of us in total. The eldest is much, much older than we three at the end.'

Selmy opened and closed her mouth like a beached fish, 'I'm an only child,' she said.

'You probably think you're ethnically Swiss don't you?' Lambda answered.

Selmy seemed perturbed. She opened the door and clung closely to Deborah. With the two standing next to each other they looked like palette swaps of one another. More than sisters. Clones almost. Lambda placed her hands on Selmy's and held them gently. 'Oh its you alright. You might not be like the you I know, but its you. Its definitely you Mu.'

Selmy acted as if she was struck. She doubled over and fell to her knees, eyes wide. 'Excuse me?' she said. She put her hands on the floor to stabilize herself. People started to gather and watch. The more people gathered the more Selmy seemed to recover. 'No,' she said 'my name is Dolores Selmy. The only daughter of two loving Swiss parents.'

Lambda started to walk away, wary of the gathered crowd. 'Believe what you will. But I have Observed what is within you. Your fate is inescapable.' No.11 turned toward Deborah, Ruby, and Titania and waved, 'and I will be looking forward to seeing you all too.'

Titania held onto Ruby protectively. She was particularly susceptible to any form of Observation due to her relative youth. 'Let's check-in and get to our flight,' Titania mumbled."

"And who might you be,"
Icarus tried to disguise his shudder when Faust 'smiled' at him
"ermm my name is Icarus, I umm thought I sensed something... wrong You may have been cursed by a demon," he turned to Kalastryn.
"By the way I said I sensed a demon I meant a specific demon I've... encountered it before, that's why I cam running in like a madman, I don't freak out every-time I sense something not human, if I did I'd be screaming all day, my dad could yell but even he couldn't do that."
He turned back to Faust
"So umm yeah like I said You might have a demons curse you may wanna get, help also I don't know how you would manage to encounter this demon, are you always on the ship?"

Rising Dawn: Brig: Rugal, Doom, Nadalia, Caim, Azan Feat. Deadshot

While at little confused as to why the woman talking to him was doing so, Deadshot was quick to get back on his game, looking up the monarch before declaring "...How you doin'?..." as he leaned back against the wall of his cell.
"Well, I think the skull bashing was before he showed up, think it might have been one of the crew, but Kazuya's guys then stunned me before throwing me in here for some reason."
"You launched a Bio-Terror Attack on a major urban center." One of the guards pointed out, prompting him to fire back "Oh come on! That was like months ago!" before moving in closer to the queen, moving his hand over hers.
"Tell you what..."Queen" is it? You let me out of here, and I'll make it worth your while. These hands know a bit more then battle, if you know what I mean..." He said in his smoothest voice, despite the fact his scarred face made him look more someone took a belt sander to it.
While the guard WAS going to object to that, fact was if she wanted this man out of his cell, there would be little he could do to stop her, seeing how she was both kinda his CO and able to wipe him off the face of the earth in a heartbeat.

The President of the United States Saints., Pierce, Shorn, and Johnny Gat.
Location: White Crib | USA: DC | Avatar Adventure.

Pierce didn't seem to like the fact his boss had put him on the spot like this, especially to Gat of all people.
[color=66023C]"...Well-...I think we have a fix on the compound where the broadcast was filmed. While Vega might be gone by now, if we go over there, we might be able to get our hands on one of their guys and find out where he ran off to. If we're really lucky, we might be able to catch him before he goes underground again. Again, it's a long shot, but we don't really have any other options. The US is kinda bigger then Stilwater, they could be hiding Shaundi anywhere!"[/color] He shrugged, least until his google search finished.
[color=66023C]"Alright, I think I got something, American Patriots for Freedom Compound: El Paso, Texas. Well, if we are going to try and make a move on Vega, we can't waste any time. Ready to go airborn again, Gat?"[/color]

Rising Dawn: Brig: Rugal, Doom, Nadalia, Caim, Azan Feat. Deadshot

Deadshot reeled back a little when Nadalia began using her fire spell to heat up his cell.
"Whoawhoawhoa, Hey, I like my internal organs Blue Rare, not Medium..." He panicked at first, figuring she was going to burn him alive, though calmed down when it turned out to be more along the lines of a healing spell.
"...Huh...Better then VHI, that's for sure. Damian East, Though people call me Deadshot. Kinda what happens when you use a alias for about half a decade..." The Assassin said as he began to re-enter his cocky demeanor as he shot a wink at the queen.
"As for me "services", Well, I'd expect to get paid of course, but for you? 10% discount. Once in a lifetime offer!" He then brazenly said, for all his faults, have to admire confidence/how far his head was up his own ass.

Rugal meanwhile zero'd in on something more important in this asinine exchange: "But as for intercourse- I must pass. My sovereign would find it distasteful for me to sleep with those he labels as 'threats'."
"...Hold on....Your Sovereign?...Are you talking about Kazuya?..." He then asked, clearly taken aback by that notion, partly because he didn't really put "Compassion" and "Kazuya" together and mostly because now one of the people in the world who most want him dead has someone with Nadaila at his beck and call.

 

[Kalastryn]

Kalastryn was quite surprised by Icarus not pursuing the issue any further. But regardless, there seemed to be a bigger puzzle at hand. "I'll have to keep an eye on you, I find your lack of reaction... disturbing..." She says, rather suspicious of Icarus, but nevertheless, she then turns her attention back Selena and Faust.

"I do find it puzzling. Perhaps the Blackharte previously conversing with this "Faust" was an impostor? It's highly unlikely given Blackharte's constant features, or apparent lack thereof. Nevertheless..."

she says, then addressing both Selena and Faust "As both of your perspectives tell a rather different tale, I shall address this to both of you regardless of my personal bias as to who I believe is at fault. I've not met either of you before, so I suppose this is a rule that should be learned early. The multitude of members of the dawn we have aboard that support, respect, and protect each other are many. Violence between crew members, and guests, is not going to be tolerated under any circumstances. Whatever the truth of the situation may be, no matter whoever started this argument, it shall end here. If you have a disagreement you need to settle, our training rooms provide a safe method of doing so, and though I can't speak for the rest aboard, were it my decision I would meet lethal action between residents of this airship, permanent or temporary alike, with lethality in turn. If the two of you can go your separate ways in an orderly manner at present, I see no issue with your presence. However, if the hostilities continue, both of you will have a problem, regardless of who started it. Is that clear? She says, ending the effects of her seeming spell to make the intimidation tactic potentially more effective in her true form.

Spoiler: In case you forgot what that looks like...

With wings like this

Evidently, Chris was not the only one on the ship who hides a more infernal side.

"Provided that this issue is sorted, I will be leaving now. I hope not to hear of this again."

As she leaves and rounds the corner she does however cast a set of spells to ensure Selena's protection. Firstly, she casts a spell known as prying eyes, creating ten semitangible magical orbs, only about the size of a marble each. She the offers a command to them "Five of you follow Faust, five follow Selena. If either start trouble or become endangered, return to me." She said, as the nearly invisible "eyes" then set about their task. She then also used a very simple spell called "message" that allows her to whisper a message to Selena from a far distance, that only her ears pick up.

"Rest assured that I do believe your tale, and I won't simply cast your plight aside unprotected. Pay very close attention and you might catch sight of a spell I cast. Small magical orbs called eyes follow you and Faust now. Should you or they cause trouble or be harmed, they shall return to me, I will see all that transpired and arrive to aid. This is not to say I shall take your side if I happen to have been wrong about you however, so do keep your own actions in check as well."

With that resolved, she had more friends who she had been dying to see, and hurried off. First for her book, and then to wander into whatever familiar face she sees next. Her book would be less important given a tactic she had learned from Asmodian elementalists during her recovery, however it is important nonetheless to have on hand. As she walks the halls, she does notice that there are plenty more armed guards posted about much like the ones in the room from which she had arrived. They oft seemed a bit startled at her looks, but more often they just seemed sick of their paranormal jobs.

Rising Dawn: Canteen , David West, Furiae, [color=eca222]Luke[/color], [color=0E59E4]Teri[/color], [color=356D60]Garm[/color], Katya

Spoiler: don't mind me. Not super relevant to the plot

The door to the storeroom closed behind the Cleric and "Luke" without much incident; the lock clicking into place before the much taller bartender looked down at the livid young woman, [color=eca222]"You speak Infernal?"[/color]
[color=0E59E4]"Irrelevant. Start talking in it now, I don't want others overhearing us, and you're obviously trying to be covert."[/color]
The man sighed, and a heavy, twisting sort of sound entered his voice as he began to speak in the language of devils. Crossing his arms and leaning against a cabinet, he replied quietly [color=eca222]"Figured I'd ask now. So, here we are. What do you want?"[/color]

Teri grimaced at his apparent nonchalance, and shot back, [color=0E59e4]"What do I want?! I want to know what YOU are doing here. You are supposed to be in Hell right now."[/color]

Lucifer's shoulder sagged at the accusation, and he seemed to take interest in a nearby bottle (and pointedly not looking the Cleric right in the face) as he answered in the same flat tone, [color=eca222]"Can't a man have his breaks? I retook hell, and it's firmly in my grasp again. No worries about any insurgence, back on top like I'm supposed to be. You did get my letter, right?"[/color]
[color=0E59E4]"Well-...Yes, but-...Seriously? You didn't think about maybe asking me before you suddenly get a job right where I live?! See, this is a big problem you have, you never say things to me! Ever!"[/color]
[color=eca222]"..I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy my employment as a hobby. But, aside from that, Maybe I came because wanted to look after you guys? After all, my daughter, her lover, the imps in my employ and... Well... you are here. After all you did for me, is it a little strange I want to watch your backs too?"[/color]
[color=0E59E4]"Stuff that WE did to get you back on the throne below. Where you're supposed to be. I never asked you to be here. Besides, even if you are, what have you been doing to help out? I had to stop that crazy jerk Kazyua from making mincemeat out of one of our prisoners, and you're here goofing off![/color]

Lucifer slumped even more at the accusation, shaking his head with a dissatisfied sound in his throat, [color=eca222].... You know i can't directly interfere with your matters, even if I really want to. The only big exception was something as enormous as Tomoya's betrayal, and even then I was walking on eggshells when I was on the Dawn. I'm sorry, Teri. Right now, I'm... I'm powerless."[/color]

Teri's hand closed into a fist, anger bringing a taste of bile to her throat as herself and her inner darkness compromised in a shared emotion. Vitriolic rage burned hot in her stomach, demanding answers for his shoddy treatment as of late, and she shouted back, [color=0E59E4]"You tell me that every time. 'I can't do this, I can't do that; the Boss won't let me'. And yet, back when we first started doing any of this, who was the one who pushed me to trust in ourselves? It was you! I stuck my neck out for you too, you know! If..If you're just here to sit around... If you can't interfere with anything, what was the point in you coming here?!"[/color]

[color=eca222]"BECAUSE OF YOU!"[/color]

A hand slammed against wood, the clink of glass and a hard reverb resounding in the air before Lucifer spoke again, [color=eca222]"You, Ella, and Devon. I wanted to see you. All of you. Especially you... Look, do you think I like this? Just being able to be around, but not being able to do anything? Do you think I like not being able to show up when you're desperate for help, or just want a shoulder to lean on? Do you know how much I hated to send you that message those months ago? If I had it in my power, I would ALWAYS be here. But, I... I can't. You know what I have to do for the Boss. And.. doesn't it mean anything, that the one time I have a break on job, and I'm here where all of you are?"[/color]

And like that, the rage that boiled in the Cleric's stomach fell flat in a simmer, her fists falling to her sides as she spoke quietly, [color=0E59E4]"I did get your letter. But, I wish you could have told me the truth from the start. You hurt me, Lucifer. And you're a real jerk sometimes, you know that?"[/color]

[color=eca222]"I know... I'm sorry I put you through so much. In fact, I'm surprised you're even talking to me right now. I guess... The next question would be where you want to go from here."[/color]
[color=0E59E4]"....I think I'd appreciate some honesty from here on."[/color]
[color=eca222]"Wait, you mean-"[/color]

She held up a hand to silence the bartender and with a soft smile added, [color=0E59E4]"Not exactly where we left off. A little slower this time around, okay? I think.. If anything, maybe a fresh start would be a step in the right direction, if anything. Me and my friends do have missions, you know."[/color]

The angel let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, and relaxed visibly, looking the Cleric in the face with a smile before asking, [color=eca222]"I don't suppose dinner would be out of the question then? Something simple, and relaxing... After your next mission, that is."[/color]

Teri paused at the proposition, and nodded quietly before moving towards the door, [color=0E59E4]"...I think about it. But, I've some people waiting for me, and I'm done yelling at you now. You should go talk to Ella and Devon though..."[/color]

The bartender couldn't help but laugh at the Cleric's language, and merely shook his head as he murmered, [color=eca222]"I swear, you're going to be the death of me one day."[/color]

Furiae gave a curious glance towards the bartender and the Cleric when they entered the back room, but with a shake of David's head, her attention was drawn back to his question,
"About me? Hmn... Well, first and foremost, I came from a place that was not this world. You know, a dimension hopper. We get em on the Blue Dragon, and if you know Blade and Jenny, then it's pretty common knowledge to you."

"Anyways, in this world, my family were petty nobles, in the sense of rank and importace. I was second in line, my brother the first. I lived a... Sheltered life. I wasn't allowed to leave the grounds much, and I even had an engagement at 14! At the time, I didn't think it was so wierd, but in retrospect, I cannot help but think of the implications of that time.. regardless, war struck our kingdom, and... well, I don't like to talk about that time too much. Let's just say that the opposing side wanted to get a hold of me because of my title, and we'll leave it at that."

"They had this big plot to end the world, and me and my brother got pulled into it. He was in the army, fighting to protect me, you see, alongside my former fiance. Some bad stuff happened, and the next thing I know, I'm in some facility with the creep." David could see the former princess giving a light shudder at the thought before continuing,
"My brother and some friends of his helped bust me out of that place, and he sent me to be with Master Hiryu and his comrades. So now, I do what I can to help people with my people. So...Yeah, I've had some training. Mostly I do covert stuff, but I have had to fight a few times. The Kunai were mainly drawn because I wasn't exactly sure what to do about a moving head, you know!"

[hr]

Garm tilted his head in curiosity at the new moniker, but his tail wagged after he gave it a moment to mull over, [color=356D60]"Gee? Hmn, I've never been called that before, but it doesn't sound bad. It's short for Garm, right? Also, what's sashimi? I heard of that sushi stuff Devon and Ella like, but they never seem to find it anywhere..."[/color]

As Katya was lead along to the kitchens, the smell of spice was the first thing to hit her nose; aromatic, heavy, and sweet all at the same time. The sounds of knives chopping, dishes and pots clattering in the air, and some language the 31373 haxx0r couldn't quite place filled the air as she approached. When they finally reached the entrance Katya saw through the door's window a group of small creatures running around in chef's clothing, and one of them barking off orders to the rest.

The wolf wagged his tail again, and inclined his head towards the kitchens, [color=356D60]"Well, there they are. I know the head Imp is called 'Flagrun', but I don't know the rest."[/color]

Before the wolf could say much else, the two heard a [color=0E59E4]"Hey!"[/color] coming from their right, and the (formerly) missing Cleric approached with a wave, [color=0E59E4]"I'm sorry I just disappeared like that. I had to take care of a personal matter... So, what's up? Garm taking good care of you?"[/color]


Rising Dawn: Brig: Rugal, Nadalia, Caim, Azan(?), Deadshot, Doom

Caim watched the whole spectacle unfold in front of him with a raised eyebrow on an otherwise stoic expression. Between Doom, Deadshot's failed attempt to seduce Nadalia and the aforementioned Queen's theatrics, Caim couldn't help but wonder who the actual adults in the room were. With a sigh, he shook his head as the PDA murmured,

"I know I volunteered to join along, but I'm getting the distinct sensation of 'too many cooks in the kitchen' here. If the prisoner has already spilled his guts, or in this case, proven his lack therof, then what purpose was there for our coming again?"

Furthermore, the matter of Nadalia's romantic interests weren't really a thing of his concern. After all, when one is romantically involved with a dragon as well as having a set of adopted kids together... One did not really have room to speak on what was or was not a strange coupling.


Rising Dawn: The Mexican Standoff Outside The Training Room

With Kalastryn essentially putting her foot down on the situation, Angelus gave a weary eye between the witch and Faust before shaking her head, "And that is the end of that. The little ones and I shall be going to lunch, you're welcome to join us if you're willing to be civil. The invitation extends to the rest as well. Little ones, shall we?"

And with that, the dragoness began her walk down to the Canteen, Cadolbolg giving a little wave to the group, "It was nice seeing you Ms. Chris, Mr. Doctor, Ms. Kalastryn. And I think you guys shouldn't fight with each other. That's not nice." before following after his mother.

Ton Ton, on the other hand, gave a harder eye between all parties involved and spoke quietly, [color=15650D]"I agree with Kalastryn. Fighting among each other when there's a bad guy threatening to take over the world isn't going to do any good. And I don't know who did what, but if this sort of thing keeps up... You'll be hearing from me."[/color] before he too went to follow Cadolbolg and Angelus.

((there should be more here, but there's not. *shakes writer's number 8 ball*))

"Yeah, no amount of training really prepares you for that kinda shit...Well, except one where you fight nothing but heads on sticks." David remarked afterwards, that never really was something the covered back when he was just starting out.
"Still, sorry to hear things were rough for ya. Seems to be a common story around here, lots of people had to go though a LOT of shit to get to where they are today. But I feel they've become better for it, or least in the process of becoming anyway..." He then added, Wanderer springing to mind, before he leaned in a little closer, a kind smile on his face.
"But hey, if there is one thing this place has taught me, it's always better to bring someone else along for the madness. At the very least, it's comforting to know you aren't the only losing yer mind! Cheers." He then joked as he clinked their glasses together.

Rising Dawn: Bridge: Kazuya, Hien, Jenny, Blade

"-So as you can see, I have every right to make such an order and she is compelled to follow such said order." Hien explained as Kazuya listened from the captain's chair, seeming rather disinterested in this whole affair as Hien went on about how Oh so powerful he was, especially as he had to crawl to him to get his own underlings to just give him to time of day. (Or just even a pair of pants).
"Sir, with all due respect, Jenny isn't a soldier and I can't just let you whisk her away and shove her into some business that's no concern of her. She could get killed!" Blade protested, clearly against the notion of sending her away like this.
[color=9f2b68]"So tell me...If she is unable to fend for herself, Then...why is she here?..."[/color] Kazuya then pointed out as he glanced over to the Gardevoir in question.
"Well-...I'm more of a doctor and a therapist, not a ninja! Well, that's not exactly true, but... well, pardon my words, sir, but you're familiar with the Rising Dawn, right? They need me here, or they'll tear each other apar-"
[color=9f2b68]"Nice to hear you think so highly of your colleagues, Ms. Jenny..."[/color] He then interrupted, much to her ire.
"Ohhh!-...Now you listen to m-"
[color=9f2b68]"No, you listen to Me. You live on an airship with some of the most capable heroes this world knows of. You've fought alongside them against some of the worst threats mankind has ever faced and won, countless times. If anything, you are over qualified for the work your master is asking of you."[/color]
"Well, I personally wouldn't go that fa-"
[color=9f2b68]"Shut up, Hien. My people were in that canteen too, you know..."[/color] He swiftly said to silence Hien and his Ego.
[color=9f2b68]"And with all of my resources being put to use on this ship, I feel that that the crew will be just fine. To conclude, I feel that Ms. Jenny should now be free to follow Master Hien's orders."[/color]
"Oh, that is Grade-A BULLSHIT! He doesn't need her to do any work, he just wants to get back at Hiryu because he's better Strider!" Blade protested before another one of Kazuya's men enter the room, having ran straight in.
"S-s-sir, we've tracked Dr. Cortex!"
[color=9f2b68]"...Heheheh...Good. I'm sorry, Strider Katana, but I am all out of time. Men, Help Ms. Jenny pack her things and for the love of god, get Master Hien some actual pants..."[/color] He said before leaving the room, sealing Jenny's fate as he did.

Rising Dawn: Brig: Rugal, Nadalia, Caim, Azan(?), Deadshot, Doom

Rugal was still not convinced, granted, he was pretty bias in this situation and he would admit it, but there was something about the notion of Kazuya having a loved one that just seemed "Off" to him.
"...Spare me the poetry. I know of redemption and how complex morality can be. But-...It's a rather jarring image in my mind. On top of that, I'm not entirely certain that the Kazuya I know would just suddenly think of having a relationship in the middle of a mission he himself is "leading" Especially in the mere handful of hours we were on the mainland..." He then pointed out, prompting one of the guards to say "Yeah, just I think he just played along because it was the fastest way to get her to stop burning up the place..."
"...I was thinking there was a lot of smoke in the background when I called him...".
Turning back to the queen, Rugal then said "I don't mean to question your belief, but all I can say is if you keep going down this path, tread carefully. Kazuya is a man of many secrets and, no offense, but I doubt he'll share many, if any, with you. I'm sorry..."

Moving onto Caim's query, Rugal sighed before saying "Hey, I don't know, Azan just dragged me down here after saying someone on the bridge wanted me to see Doom. Tch, seems like it was just a waste of time..."
As he said that however, Doom began to stir slightly as Rugal walked past his cell.
[color=004d]"...A waste of time?....You think Doo-...*I'm* a waste of time!?!..."[/color] He said as he picked himself of the ground and then glared at Rugal though the bars of his cell, a far cry from his reaction just a few minutes.
"....well- I...Didn't mean it like tha-" Was all Rugal got out before Doom did something he never knew he could do.

He reached out from behind the bars of his cell and punched Rugal clean in the face.

[color=004d]"YEAH! THINK YOUR BETTER THEN ME!? HUH!?! IT'S YOUR FAULT I'M HERE! I COULD HAVE BEEN ANYONE, ANYTHING! BUT NO! HAD TO SERVE YOUR FUCKING BLONDE ASS FOR YEARS! I WISH YOU WERE DEAD! I WISH YOU WERE DEAD!"[/color] He shouted in his cell right before the guards went into his cell and got him back under control while Rugal just stood there rather shaken as he wiped the blood now leaking out of his nose.
"..."
Not wanting to stick around, he then began to make his way out of the room, Doom cursing his very existence as he did.

Heads up, I'll be starting the next part of the arc in my next post. Sorry for the Delay ^^;

[HEADING=2][color=B4B4]Act 2: Dr. Neo Cortex's Day Off[/color][/HEADING]​

A quick flight later, the Rising Dawn had traveled along the skies until they neared their target: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Taking care to keep the ship out of the city limits, the ship instead moving to a holding position off the Massachusetts Coast, much like they did back in LA.
*Bing Bong!* "Attention passagers, The time is 9:00am Eastern and we are nearing optimal deployment conditions for operation "Catch whats-his-face". Please report to the hanger for your 10:00am briefing and thank you for flying with The Rising Dawn~! [sub]Sponsored by G-Corp[/sub]" *Bing Bong!* Violet rang out over the intercom as the crew got ready for their next mission...

Rugal

Failing to get any sleep following the events of yesterday in the brig, He instead watched from his desk as the alarm on his bedside went off as well as Violet's speech over the intercom.
"Pffff...Sponsored by G-Corp..." He scoffed as he quickly got washed and changed, quickly doing so in an attempt to perk himself up before he went over by Slindis and Melethia's room, knocking on it as he did.
"Hey, you two ready yet." He asked from the other side of the door as he hid himself yawning slightly.
Urrgggg...I really hope Cortex just makes this easy on himself... He thought, wanting to get this whole thing over and done with as soon as possible so Kazuya would leave.

David

"zzzzzz.....zzzzzzz....." The Irishman snored as his arm came down hard on his alarm the second it went off, all while a pounding headache ringed in his mind..
Groaning slightly, He then yawned as he pulled himself out of bed as the PA went off and Violet's voice went around the ship.
"Ahhhh, talk a little louder, why don't cha?..." He groaned, hoping he wasn't going to do that for every single damn mission as he felt like his brain was going to leak out of his ears, maybe that fall did more damage then he thought?
Either way, he got cleaned up and dressed for another day of having orders barked at him.
At least Furiae agreed to a second date, gave him something to look forward to as he swung by the canteen for a quick bit of breakie.

Blade and Jenny

Thanks to Kazuya, Hien was able to make Jenny tow the line and, once again, he got to enjoy being away from her as he woke up in his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling while the announcement was made.
....Well...Might as well make the meeting... He thought as he began making his way out of bed, while he was still pretty wounded, he certainly didn't feel like laying down in bed all day as he began to make his way towards the Med Bay to get something to numb his pain a little.

Little time skip to the following morning, have your characters wake up and do about their usual routines before going to hanger to start the next mission

Garm | Katya | Teri

"You've never heard of Sashimi?!" Katya just about exploded when Garm asked her what it was, "You, as a wolf... dog... whatever, would love Sashimi since it's just the best portions of fish, served raw, with your standard wasabi, ginger and soy sauce."

Turning to the Imp called Flagrun, Katya asked for a portion of fresh albacore tuna, emphasizing that the fish needed to be fresh, though dead, and the meat needed to be slightly fatty.

"G3t 33t 4 m3!" The Young L33t Haxxx0r said as the Imp tried to understand what she was saying. In the end it took the help of B3WP and the creation of a miniature Albacore tune generated out of Nano-Agents for the Imp to get the idea as it produced a large, feisty and rather live albacore tuna.

"I s3d d3d!" Little Miss Rostikova repeated and once again got a quizzical look in response.

"#Wut3vs." Katya sighed in resignation as she produced a blade from her fingertip that pierced the fish above the eyes, causing it to spasm for a moment before being still.

Laying out the fish on a cutting board, which was no easy feat since the fish average up to 60 kilos in weight, the young woman quickly accessed the internet, researching the prime pieces of albacore meat and their location before near expertly filleting the fish and cutting it up into three platefuls.

With their food in hand, the hacker heroine lead Garm back to a table and had a seat, putting the larger plate in front of Garm on the floor while preparing her own meal, mixing wasabi and soy sauce in a small bowl for dipping.

If you ever wanted to experience magic, you only need to set up a meal before the missing member of your party shows up. It was after Katya had finished setting up the meal that the Ship's Cleric/Medic/Lead Interrogator appeared.

[color=0E59E4]"I'm sorry I just disappeared like that. I had to take care of a personal matter... So, what's up? Garm taking good care of you?"[/color] Teri asked as she joined the two.

"But of course. He's really such a nice little puppy." The blue haired haxxxor said petting Garm delightfully on the head before returning her full attention to Teri, "So. That was quick. Was it nice?"

Uh. Really Katya? Must you be so juvenile?

"G0ddddddddddd... shut 0ff th@t 1nf3rn@1 r@ck3t!!!" The sleep deprived Hacker Heroine exclaimed as she attempted to climb out of bed in a still drunken haze. Whatever Teri had suggested to her to drink was still setting off sticks of dynamite in her head... whatever this Vodka stuff was. She barely remembered what happened most of the night but she did remember that there was a fair amount of laughing, some dares and some drinks. The bartender... what was his name(?)... had ensured that Katya's glass remained full, much to her own personal misery. But of course, that's what happens when you let an 18 year old loose on the world without parental supervision.

"Little Miss, I told you that you should not be drinking.  You are under the legal drinking age in..."

B3WP started in on her.

"Shut 33t! Just.... shut... 33t..." Katya said as she heaved herself out of the bed and onto the floor, "000w."

"I could filter the alcohol from you system Little Miss.  There appears to be a ship wide alert."

The Nano-Agent swarm offered.

"1 d1d s@y shut 33t... r1ght?" The Blue Haired Hacker repeated as she started peeling off clothing and heading towards the room's shower.

"AHHHHH!!! W@1 S0 C01D?!?!??!!?!"

--------------------15 minutes later - The Canteen ------------------------------​

In theory, breakfast sounded good to the Blue Haired Hacker Heroine, I repeat, in theory. With the sheer amount of alcohol still reeking havoc on her innards, the chances of Katya keeping down any sort of breakfast was as good as Doom reciting the Declaration of Independence. But, being the inexperienced drunk that she was, she had to try.

"1 ~hurk~ 1 ~hurk~ 1 b@c0n 0m13tt3." Katya ordered from the Imp wearing a chef's hat that looked like he was fairing just as well as Katya.

"???" The Imp responded.

"1 b@c0n 0m13tt3 ~HURK~ Pw3@z3?" Katya re-ordered.

"???" The Imp responded.

~THUD~ Went Katya's head against the sneeze guard.

Time: That Fateful Night​

Deborah | Ruby | Selmy | Titania

"Mu? That's a silly name!" Ruby said innocently as she got out of the cab with Mother Titania, feeling more at peace with herself as she saw the hordes of people that were entering and exiting the airport. Thinking to herself, in her 14 year old fashion, she wondered what had caused her to feel so confused earlier when she felt so safe and comfortable around both her mothers, though not too comfortable as she saw many a prolonged stare as the foursome entered the airport.

"Moms? Can I get some candy for the flight?" Ruby said scurrying off towards one of the news paper stands that had been setup between each of the entries and exits, pausing long enough to see that someone had caused massive damage to an area near where Ruby, Mother Deborah and Mother Titania lived. There was a strange sense of familiarity to the location and a sense of anger when looking at the picture.

"Someone ruined my playground!" Ruby whined, pointing the the headline and the picture that looked as if someone had taken a giant vacuum and sucked everything inwards to a single point. Turning around, Ruby realized that she couldn't see either of her mothers.

"MOM?!" Ruby yelled out quite a bit louder.

As the young girl spun around, a sound caught her attention. It was the sound of a marble hitting the floor, bouncing a number of times before rolling off. Seeking the source of the sound, Ruby saw the gold and crimson flecked marble roll on the airport floor towards one of the many restrooms. Without reason or thought, the girl gave chase.

Ruby had never seen a men's restroom before with its urinals and lewd vandalism nor had she ever smelled something as foul as what emanated from one of the many bathroom stalls.

"Boys are gross" Ruby thought to herself as she looked under the stalls for the marble that had rolled off, seeing it in the larger Handicapped stall.

Opening the door, the young girl was repulsed by the grotesqueness of what lay within. Brown smears, toilet paper left trailing over the toilet seat were expected for such depraved beings. However, what was curious was the sight of blood on the walls of the stall and stranger still, on the ceiling, as if someone had sprayed a thin stream of blood against the ceiling.

Eager to be out of the foreign domain, the young girl grabbed her marble and started towards the stall's exit, only to be foiled by the sound of an incoming occupant.

"Oh... oh... oh god. No... more... Mexican food." The stranger squealed as he barely made it into the stall next to Ruby's before making the most Hell worthy noises.

Disgusted, the young girl once again moved towards the exit, this time with a sense of urgency.

"Just a taste." A voice said, originating in the back of her mind before spider crawling its way towards the frontal lobes. The voice was soft but it gave the girl some pause.

"Just a taste... please." The voice said again, a bit louder as it forced the young girl's head to turn towards the occupied stall, noticing that in his haste, the occupant had forgotten to lock his stall.

"JUST A TASTE!!" The strongest yet, the will to ignore the voice faded from Ruby's mind as she opened the door.

--------------------Minutes Later--------------------​

The sound of water being rubbed between two hands brought consciousness back to the young girl. Looking down at her hands, she noted the now pink gore that caked her fingers being washed away by the sink's powerful stream. Driven by fear of what she saw and the unknown event that had caused her hands to be in such a state, Ruby fled the bathroom.

"Mom!" Ruby cried out as she spotted Mother Deborah , running up to her and hugging her around the waist.

Katya

The young hacker heroine looked to her right and noted the appearance of a portal, one that annoyed the crap out of her heavily alcohol addled brain. The swirling lights that emanated from the rip in the fabric of space and time coalesced and Katya saw what was on the other side. It was beautiful. Blue leafed trees swayed under the presence of a light breeze while being shadowed by majestic snow capped mountains. In the distance a stream filled with various flora and fauna not indigenous to the world that she knew flourished under a sky dominated by two suns.

"B0000000r1nggg." Katya slurred as she borrowed a space time repair device from one of the imps.

~BWOOOOP!~

"B3tt3r." The hacker muttered as she adjusted her cat eye sun glasses and continued on waiting for her damnable bacon omelette.

"B@c0n 0m313tt3!!"

"???"

"B@c0n 0m313tt3!!"

"???"

"B@c0n 0m313tt3!! B@c0n 0m313tt3!! B@c0n 0m313tt3!! B@c0n 0m313tt3!! B@c0n 0m313tt3!! B@c0n 0m313tt3!! B@c0n 0m313tt3!! B@c0n 0m313tt3!!"

"???"

This was going to be a long day.

Snip

I'll kindly ask you to not advertise in our RP.
While I know starting up an RP can be hard, it's kinda rude to just interrupt another one just to plug your own, even if it is an Open RP.
If you wish to join ours, fair enough, but it's ruining it for other people if you just barge in and say "Hey! Join my RP instead!" :/

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

OOC:

It's not an advert. My RP can link to any game. As stated, if you have a problem with this, feel free to ignore it.
But based on your tone, I'm assuming your an enemy of it.

I will respect the fact, however, that you oppose any adverts. Thanks. Bye.

Eh, less an enemy and more kinda wish you asked first ;>.>
Still, if people want to join your RP, they can find it's thread handy enough, there is little need to interrupt other ones.
All it really does is annoy people and draw their ire, especially if they are not interested to begin with.

Still, thanks very much for your understanding and the best of luck! ^_^

[HEADING=2][color=B4B4]Act 2: Dr. Neo Cortex's Day Off[/color][/HEADING]​

Good to be back! I know I've been gone a lot over the last year, and I want to change that in the upcoming year.

Rugal, Mel, Slin

Slindis was already getting early as Rugal knocked on the door - they would be busy later, and not even a long and productive session of metal and woodworking (Not to mention cooking, where they both learned a lot) would make her sleep in. [color=c200]"Rugal, give me a minute to wake Mel up!"[/color] The sound of Melethia grumpily yawning could be heard, though - she clearly wanted some more time in the bed.

"Mom, can ya gimme five more minutes? I still need ta get all my bags ready an' all..." After that grumpy reply, Rugal heard the thud that had to be Melethia rolling out of her bed as the ending credits of a movie played, and before long the two walked out of the room.

[color=c200]"I thought you were more punctual, Rugal..."[/color] Slindis was perfectly ready for the day's duties. Melethia, however, didn't look as prepared.
"Well, mom, some of us were called to help make sure those knuckleheads know how to set up defenses here... Well, that and I did pick up some neat movie about some princess bride from Violet after."



Ella/Devon

The two lovers got ready rather quickly (On part due to Ella's knowing intimately how to untangle Cadolbolg's mess in her Bard's hair) and they picked up the still sleeping Ton-Ton and Cadolbolg, making their way to the Canteen for some food.

[color=00c863]"That food Slindis and Mel made was good last night, wasn't it?"[/color] Some growling from her stomach let Ella know she could use a bite to eat as she held Ton-Ton in her arms, and Ella chuckled before replying.

"Was a bit too bland for my tastes, and it's a shame she doesn't know how to make sushi. I mean, didn't you mention she lived in a port town? You'd think she knows the best sushi!" The demi-succubus made sure not to wake Cadolbolg as she walked, although the smell of food from the Canteen reaching his nostrils might stir him.
