Sorry, we're in the middle of a major story arc and it's hard enough to run without having to factor in characters and players hopping back and forth between the two RPs and Canons.
Besides, we never asked to be part of your RP, nor do we really want to :/
If people want to join your RP, they can do so in your thread.
While Doom's little..."Episode" still lingered in his mind, Rugal's mood was already starting to pick up he saw the two elves again.
"More punctual?! Am I not here, knocking on your door?" He joked in mock offense, a light jab at Slindis's insistence of being at Defcon 1 near 24/7.
"Having that said, I did have a bit of a hard time sleeping last night, but rest assured, it won't affect my performance." He said, leaving the cause of it ambiguous as he glanced over to Melethia, the green haired elf going on about G-Corp Security and "The Princess Bride."
Taking a moment to compose himself, he then said in (a spot on impersonation) "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father-" "Prepare to Die!" Melethia playfully finished for him as the pair of them had a laugh.
"Ahhh, been a while since I've seen that one. Still, just watch yourself around Kazuya. I know you can handle yourself, but I'd rather you not get dragged in too deep into his operation. He never did work well with others, at least ones who don't call him "Boss"..." He then warned before asking "Now then, is their time in Ms d'Tarkanan's busy schedule for breakfast or shall we just get down to business?..."
David, Ella, Devon
His head still ringing more harshly then he'd like, David began to make his way towards the canteen, walking in just as Ella was going on about about Slindis's cooking. "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!"
"Hey, I'm just glad to have been able to actually have some food with my spice for once..." He quipped as he entered the room, not skipping a beat as he conversed with the couple, swiping the menu from Ella's hand as he did.
"Besides Ella, Don't care what you say, the pinnacle of seafood is, and shall always be, Battered Cod with Salted Chips. Built an entire nation, that did..." He then joked as he browsed today's specials before lobbing it back to her and pulling up a chair.
"So how's the women? Write any chart toppers I should know about, Dev? Heheheh..." The sniper then jabbed, seeming to be in a good mood and less hungover then usual for this early in the morning.

[HEADING=2][color=B4B4]Act 2: Dr. Neo Cortex's Day Off[/color][/HEADING]
Teri, Garm
The Cleric awoke with a groan the following morning after her and Katya's little evening on the bar; her head muddled and somewhat pained from the chimes of her alarm clock. Rubbing her eyes and getting dressed, Teri pat Garm on the head after sorting herself and the belongings out, the pangs of a headache still being an annoying afterthought, [color=0E59E4]"Ugh... My head should not be hurting this much, I remember drinking water last night... Garm, what exactly did we do?"[/color]
[color=356D60]"Admittedly, you drank about as much as you did when we had that big party in the Persona verse. The one with the dancing games? You guys mostly talked about stuff, and you loudly proclaimed that the Luke guy was 'your turf'. I think he got a kick out of that. Also, you two kept making jokes I didn't understand and took... Selfies? Something called that. Anyways, I wouldnt' have minded it too much, but Katya kept grabbing my fur...[/color]
The wolf gave a whine at that part before continuing the report, Teri checking over Sadei and her spellbooks as he did so, [color=356D60]Oh, and Alpha Slindis and Pup Melethia saw when they finished their food preparations. And Luke and me had to carry you and Katya back to your rooms. Oh, he left a message with me - 'Sorry for not giving last call sooner. You two were having so much fun, I forgot about human limits with alcohol' or something like that. Also, the Dimitri Voice said I should drag you to the shower after you got back, and you seemed to figure that part out easy. That's how you got in bed."[/color]
The wolf gave a gentle wag of his tail, seeming proud of being able to recall all of the details while Teri groaned at the thought, [color=0E59E4]"Mom saw...? Aw shit... she's not gonna let me hear the end of any of this...."[/color]
As the Cleric rubbed her nose in frustration, Dimitri chimmed in over the intercom in a voice that a little too cheery for the somewhat hung over Cleric, [color=3897E0]
Code:
"Perhaps you can reflect upon this in your morning prayers, Your Ladyship? If I recall you saying, your God is very forgiving of His Followers... Perhaps you can gain a kernel of wisdom too, including on how to properly broach the subject if your mother brings it up?"
[/color] which in turn prevoked another sigh, and a final answer,
[color=0E59E4]"I don't even want to think about that right now..."[/color]
After getting her prayers over with and her spells sorted, The Cleric and wolfish companion made their way to the Med Bay in order to pick up supplies for the coming mission that Violet's voice had spoken of several minutes ago. Upon arrival, the Cleric noticed a green and red Pokemon poking around the Medical Bay and stopped in her tracks, Garm giving her an inquisitive expression before he over their shared rings, [color=356D60]"...You okay? You look upset."[/color]
[color=0E59E4]"...I know this charact- no. I know this person. He doesn't know me though. It's related to that Writing thing I told you about before. He got hurt because of me, [sub]as did a lot of others...[/sub]"[/color]
[color=356D60]"He looks hurt now. Why don't you go fix that instead of feeling bad? Maybe he'll wanna be friends like Katya did?"[/color]
Taking the wolf's advice to heart, Teri concentrated for a moment before activating her Healing Aura anew for the day; and then approached the Grovyle with a gentle expression and an extended hand, [color=0E59E4]"Good morning! My name's Teri, and this is my friend Garm. I'm one of the medics here. I was coming by for supplies for our mission and I noticed you looked hurt. Is everything okay?"[/color]
Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, Ella, Devon, David West, Katya
At the sounds of voices and the smells of food, Ton Ton and Cadolbolg stretched and yawned in the Bard and Succubus' arms, Cadolbolg being the first to vocalize, "I smell something yuuuuumy~!" before stretching his little wings and taking flight; giving a nuzzle to Devon and Ella as he fluttered around the Canteen, "Goooood morning everyone~! Anyone else in the mood for bacon? I want a lot of bacon..."
As he fluttered around in search of bacon, the Cutie Bruiser noticed a familiar blue haired hacker banging her head against the salad bar's sneeze guard (and presumably yelling about bacon omelettes); and hovered nearby with a curious expression on his face, "Whatchu doin that for? It doesn't look very comfy... And whatchu fussin about bacon omelettes for? They sound really yummy, but it doesn't sound like something to get upset about. The impidoos are really good at makin' anything, and you need only ask."
Ton Ton in the meantime, did a similar set of yawns and stretches before hopping to the table's edge and giving a wave to each of the occupants, [color=15650D]"Good morning, everyone, and Thank you for bringing myself and Cadolbolg to the Canteen with you, Devon, Ella. I speak for myself and Cadolbolg when I say, sorry for falling asleep not long after Ms. Angelus handed us off to you two. We must have been really tired from that fight yesterday. Granted it was a bit stressful... I hope our next mission isn't nearly as high strung..."[/color]
After picking a simple order on the menu himself, Ton Ton's attention was turned to the slightly more jovial than usual David; and the Tonberry gave a happy wave of his Lantern, [color=15650D]"Ah, you look like you're in a very good mood, Mr. West. That's great, you're usually grumpy in the morning!"[/color]
From the mouths of babes indeed....
Caim, Angelus
Angelus was the first to awake of the pact partners, a habit forged during the war of the Union, and silently extended her 'pact-sense' to find her little one's whereabouts, and relaxed upon finding them both safe and sound. Turning her attention back to Caim, the dragoness allowed the edges of her mouth crinkly faintly at the sight of the man next to her. Clinging to her like a life support, hair a mess, and snoring softly, Angelus noted quietly to herself again (how often, she could not recall, as she never kept count) that her partner seemed, for lack of a better stream of thoughts, at ease in this place. It was something she still hadn't gotten used to, even after having lived on this giant airship for quite some time, and even moreso in sharing the same quarters with Caim. Happy morning surprises, she could only suppose.
However, her reverie was cut short when Violet's voice rang over the PA system, and her partner's eyes shot open at the sound. As the message played out, a soft, grumpy sounding exhalation from the swordsman was enough to glean meaning (that and the groggy stream of 'thoughts' helped matters along), "Not something I enjoy waking to. It's almost as grating as that old priest..." "Come now, you know nothing could measure to Verdelet's incessant prattling." "Perhaps not. The children?" "Devon and Ella. They had them since last night, remember?"
Caim smiled at the memory of that circumstance, and answered on a differing topic (perhaps, if only, to remain lighthearted rather than sounding lewd by accident), "So the morning is as much ours as the evening?" "I'm afraid not. In an hour, our attendance is required."
Another huff of air and narrowed eyes, "A shame. More time, and I would have considered indulging in another nap... but perhaps we can make the best of it. Breakfast in bed?" "'Breakfast in bed?' That's something humans often do?" "Not really. However, I'd like to enjoy the time while it lasts." "You know I can't really argue that. Dimitri, is it possible to get the usual delivered?"
((If you need someone to talk to, feel free to bump into them in the halls or something. It could just be later/after breakfast for them.))
Azan awoke after the long talk he had overseen last night. He did not recall where and how he had fallen into sleep, but he did know that when he awoke he was sitting in an empty hallway with nothing but the overhead lights to keep him company. Azan close his eyes. He gave thought. His mustache quivered upon his lip. He pondered on the number of days he had spent in this world.
Ultimately Azan decided to break his fast on a meager meal of bread, butter, and jam. Afterward Azan wandered into the hangar to gather his thoughts. A tin man sat down in the middle of the hangar as the dawn broke. He watched the sun extend its warmth across the land. There he sat until the bell rang beckoning others to the hanger.
All things begin and end. He concluded. I will see this to the end.
Paradigm Story - He Who Would Be God Chapter: 1 - Twisted Probability, the Black One's Pride Location: SFO | San Francisco | California
"Deborah was surprised. Ruby was sobbing into her. Slowly she lowered her hands around Ruby and held her gently. 'There there,' she said. Deborah's black hair draped down around her. Deborah could feel something ill in the air around Ruby. It was a dark presence, something that made her feel uneasy and lethargic at the same time. There was a second entity. Deborah shuddered.
'Ruby, lets go check in and I'll buy you some candy at the duty-free stores.' Deborah bent down and hugged Ruby, gently wiping the tears from her face. They were cold, too cold to be tears. It might have been water. Nevertheless Deborah brought Ruby to the check-in station. Titania was peering over the counter. She had to stand on her tip toes because she was so short.
The man at the counter looked over the passports and looked over the three women standing in front of him. His gaze lingered on Ruby for a long while. 'Strange attire' he said. His voice was a mixture of sarcasm and dull interest. Titania forced a smile as she pulled the three passports back and put them inside of her cloak. 'Are you cosplayers? I know that Fanime is happening, but I did not realize it was so soon.'
Titania was genuinely surprised. She shook her head, her hair swayed gently from side to side. 'Fanime is not for another few months.' The man behind the counter looked down at Titania as he printed their tickets.
'Its the wife, she's into your craft,' he handed the boarding passes to Titania, 'that's why I ask. Don't act too surprised.'
Afterward while Titania, Deborah, and Ruby were passing through security Deborah divulged the misgivings that she had experienced earlier. Titania gave her a sharp look, green eyes glinting in the sunlight filtering through the glass roof of the airport. Selmy was in front of them being brisked by some agents, her face gave away her discomfort.
'Then there is a second observed entity within Ruby,' Titania said. She placed her shoes on the conveyor belt and started undoing the leather belt that held her skirt in place. She was one of the few of her ilk that wore shorts beneath her skirt. It was more practical in the long run, she had found. 'There is only one question we need to answer. Who is observing that second entity inside of Ruby? Selmy is observing the human form of Ruby, and her Observation is so strong that it feels like she has a pulse.'
Deborah undid the buckles on her boots and placed them on the conveyor belt. The older woman's skin-tight outfit didn't leave much room for metal so she had to take off less than Titania who wore layers upon layers of leather jackets, cloth cloaks and spell satchels. 'Should we check how strong Selmy's Observation is?' Titania nodded.
'I am going to search the area for any traces of phenomena intervention,' Titania walked through the scanner and raised her hands up as the agent took scans of her body. It felt strangely embarrassing. Deborah was next but she did not mind so much. The scans showed nothing more than what was apparent to the naked eye. 'You buy some candy for Ruby and take her to somewhere private. Check comprehensively that she is human.'
Cadolbolg | David West | Devon | Ella | Katya | Ton Ton
"So... cheerful... too... cheerful," Was all that Katya's brain could eek out as the flying C00t13 br00z3r made his approach and talked up a cheerful storm much to the ire of the Blue Haired Hacker's brain. With a slight sense of anger flaring up, Katya's hair changed to a vibrant shade of BLOOD RED of its own accord, more than likely to warn the poor C00t13 Fl13r that he was walking on some rather thin, thin, thin ice.
There was one thing that saved Cadolbolg's neck from a sound throttling, however, as the imp, hearing an order for a Bacon Omelette from the mini-dragon, served one piping hot bacon fat drizzled omelette lickity split.
"H...h...h0w d1d j00 d0 7h@7?" The young woman asked, almost reverently, as she almost fully drooled all over the tender bacon filled masterpiece. The answer of which was right in front of the Blood Red Renegade's nose as Ton Ton ordered a meal by pointing to the menu item.
"0h." The Fatally Fashionable Fox muttered as the pointed to the words "BACON OMELETTE SUPER DELUXE."
With food and water (lots and lots of water) plated and ready for consumption, Katya looked about the room, spotting two new faces in addition to the chipper C00t13 br00z3rs and almost chipper Irish Sniper, David West.
"S0... muc4 c41pp3r," KatyR muttered as she sat down at the table appeared to simply observe the interactions between each crew member seated at the table. Though in reality, the act of conversing with the group felt quite daunting.
The (Un)real World Location: SFO | San Francisco | California Time: Morning
Back in the presence of her mothers, Ruby felt like she was once again whole. Wrapped in a warm, comforting and safe blanket that was the presence of her parents, her eyes, which had been blood shot from the wailing she had put them through, started clearing up quite rapidly. Holding onto Mother Deborah tightly, the young girl with the black and white hair was reluctant to let go of her Mother when it was their turn to pass through the TSA security check point's full body scanner.
As it had been with Mother Titania, Ruby showed no anomalous readings when she passed through the scanner. She was, despite her Mothers' suspicions to the contrary, the perfect picture of a little girl. With that hoop jumped through, it was time for Ruby Babbage-Lovelace to retrieve her carry-on item that she had placed in on the baggage scanner's conveyor belt. She didn't know it, but her item was causing a stir at the Security Check, the baggage scanner's conveyor advanced, moved back and advanced once again. The small white bowl containing the gold and crimson flecked marble was finally spat out of the monstrous machine's mouth, much to the delight of the young girl as she moved to pick up the item.
"One second little lady. Can I see that for a second." Asked a TSA Agents, a large lady that reminded Ruby of a Valkyrie, picking up the item before Ruby could give her consent. The officer rolled the small sphere in the palm of her hands and examined it in the light.
"Here you go." The Agents said, smiling as she handed the small trinket to the young soon-to-be passenger. Satisfied, Ruby scurried off towards the safety of her parents.
"Oh! Young lady? Aren't you forgetting something?" The Agent asked as she pulled a backpack out from the conveyor. Though none of the women remembered Ruby bringing a bag with her, the item was unmistakably hers. The backpack in question had been lovingly crafted to resemble a member of the Fae, not one of the Disney knockoffs that were popular at the time but an honest to goodness Fae.
"Ummm... no ma'am, that's not mine." Ruby responded quietly.
"Your name is Ruby Babbage-Lovelace, isn't it?" The guard asked, showing the young girl a tag that had been attached to the carry-on, "I suggest you not forget it."
"Mmhmm" Ruby mhmm'd as she accepted the bag and walked off with her parents towards the terminal gates.
There was still a while before the three women and one girl could board the plane as winter storms had caused a delay. IN that time, however, Ruby took the opportunity to look through the mystery package. There was nothing of note inside the bag as it contained the essentials for airplane travel: A Portable Gaming Device, Two Books, An iPod Touch and various art supplies. With another two hours before the flight landed, Mother Deborah suggested that they go to the restroom.
"Okay." The young Babbage-Lovelace responded as she hopped off her seat, leaving the bag with Mother Titania.
As mother and daughter headed towards the nearest women's restroom, they paused as a TSA agent passed quickly with a first aid kit in his hand, his walkie talkie squawking loudly as he passed.
"Repeat. Agent Down at the Departures Security Check Point. Requesting emergency services. [small]Goddamn that's a lot of blood[/small]."
Looking up at the intercom, Boss muttered to himself, "Did he actually just say Bing-Bong? That's...what a looser."
Jumping up out of bed and stretching, Boss said to Edge, "Are y' excited? We're gonna meet the president today! I think!"
Edge, who was still in bed, muttered something unintelligible, and rolled over.
"Do what?" Boss asked.
"I said..." Edge said. "Fuck that gangbanger piece of shit, I need sleep."
"Oh, you're too hard." Boss said. "Plenty of former presidents have been gangbangers, not the least of which is Theodore Roosevelt. Ever heard of the Rough Riders?"
"Still not funny, Boss." Edge said, rolling over again. "And no, I seriously need sleep or I'm going to collapse from exhaustion. You go do your stuff on your own, the other guys will back you up. Just stay away from the guy in the red jacket."
"Rugal?" Boss said, walking out. "Nah, he's pretty cool. You've just got a stick up your...why isn't the door opening?"
Insano
Insano, barely cognizant enough to remember where or even who he was, woke up when his back was jostled by...the wall? "[color=00ad83]Wha?[/color]" Insano mumbled. "[color=00ad83]Where am I? Who's there?[/color]"
"...why isn't the door opening?" someone behind Insano asked.
"Just teleport to wherever you're going, Boss" someone with a significantly deeper voice asked.
"[color=00ad83]Tele...do what?[/color]"
Insano was yanked out of whatever drowsy stupor he was still in by someone very rudely falling on his...body.
"[color=00ad83]WHY DID YOU DO THAT, YOU INGRATE?[/color]" Insano shouted, jumping into a standing position.
"...why are you sleeping on the floor?" Boss asked, hovering slightly above the ground. "And why are you screaming? People are trying to sleep."
"[color=00ad83]I KNOW, I'M ONE OF THEM YOU BLUNDERING OAF! WHY DID YOU JUMP ON MY FACE![/color]"
"Because you were sleeping on the floor." Boss responded, gesturing to where Insano had been laying. "In front of my door, even. Why didn't you just grab a spare room, there are plenty."
"[color=00ad83]YOU![/color]" Insano shouted. "[color=00ad83]STOMPED! ON! MY! FACE! THAT IS WHY I'M SCREAMING![/color]"
Boss shrugged. "Well, I'm sorry then. My bad, man. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"
Insano was taken aback; luckily, his thick goggles didn't betray that. "[color=00ad83]You can start by buying me a drink, I suppose. What time is it?[/color]"
"Nine, last time I checked." Boss said.
"[color=00ad83]Rum and coke it is, then![/color]" Insano said. "[color=00ad83]You do have a bar on this airborne metal deathtrap, I presume?[/color]"
Kala stirred from her rest at a rather slow pace before Violet's voice blared across the intercom. While it was nice to finally be able to retire the night in her own bed, all good things must come to an end it seems. She had already slipped into Rugal's office and obtained her spellbook, and looking through it's pages it was clear to see that it had seen a bit of use in her absence. From Jenny's description last night, it doesn't quite seem as though this use lead to mastery however. "Ah how I've missed these pages. Rugal's a smart man... evidently not the type for a wizard though. At least not self studying." she mused as she read on. Once everything she needed was memorized, she decided to go grab a bite to eat for breakfast. Besides, she was rather interested in how much has actually changed around here. On the way to wherever she was headed, she also chanced upon the argument between Boss and "Dr. Insano." She also happens to be undisguised at the time. "Typically we can snag a drink or two at the canteen. I'm headed there now for breakfast. It might be good advice to keep a clear head for now though." She said, perhaps unaware or nonchalant about looking like the breakfast in question could fittingly be comprised of souls. As she then walked on, she tripped over an unseen object. The object in question being ARES in their Recon frame, which granted them invisibility as they were in "sleep mode" and not moving. Waking (or powering on, whichever you prefer) from their rest overnight to see the infernal creature that is Kalastryn, ARES decided to sneak the other way, rifle in hand just in case. She muttered to herself as she crept off [sub] This is the strangest place I have ever been. [/sub]
Insano scoffed. "[color=00ad83]Clear head. You amuse me. The only way I can keep myself sober is by staying drunk as long as I can.[/color]" Insano stretched his hand forward. "[color=00ad83]Name's Doctor Insano; former evil genius and current professor of MAD SCIENCE at UCLA. Might I...eh...ask your name?[/color]"
Boss looked to where ARES was, sure that he had...psychic-felt something. After a moment, he shook his head and decided to ignore it. Probably one of Kazuya's men, gathering intel or blackmail material or something. He'd have to take it up with Kazuya later. Hell, maybe one of them would run into Edge and the problem would just...solve itself.
"[color=00ad83]BOY![/color]" Insano shouted. "[color=00ad83]Stop staring at blank space and come on. You still owe me a drink.[/color]"
"Yeah, sure." Boss said. "And the name's Boss. Friends call me Boss."
Also, something myself and Ninjamedic discussed was the possibility of putting a "Nonlethal" modifier on some spells, on account of this character's proclivity towards not killing people. These will be marked with [NL]

Slindis looked to Rugal much in the way one would look at someone would if they just stated they're a fan of Twilight before replying in somewhat sarcastic tone. [color=c200]"no, I don't have time to eat even though I usually get food every morning where I know I'm going to be busy- Of course I've got the time to get some food!"[/color]
Melethia also laughed cheerily, still in a good mood after seeing the movie and added, "Besides, ya know we've gotta see the others down there! It's not that hard to get some food, and really I don't know why ya thought we'd say no."
It wasn't a very long walk to the Canteen, too, and Melethia whispered to Rugal. "The man doesn't know half as much as he should about securing someone that needs to stay alive, and if he wants to start assertin' any kind of control over me with me he's gonna get burned. Besides, there's only so much he can handle here and I betcha he's about to find that out real soon."
The talk was heard by Slindis, though, as the perked eyebrow and the 'we're talking about this later' glance told Rugal. [color=c200]"Well, are there any new people I should know about here? I would have been out more, but I was preoccupied."[/color]
Ella, Devon, Ton-Ton, David, Katya
The couple cheerily talked to David as they entered, with Cadolbolg flying right out of their arms to get some delicious food. "Sure, sure, go on about your food. It's not like every Irish pub doesn't make it for their customers. I'd rather have the food that-"
[color=00c863]"That we haven't been able to find yet while we've been here, Ella?"[/color] "...Yes, that food. And you know what, David? I'll just have some of that Fish and Chips if it means I can actually have some seafood here."
Still, with the Bruisers around it was hard for Ella and Devon to be really disgruntled and Devon passed a few more light jokes as some tidbits of future songs to David as they got their seats. [color=00c863]"Ton-Ton, I think you'll like the Fish and Chips. If not, well, you can hand it to David here. I know I'll be sharing with Ella."[/color]
Upon hearing that, though, Ella laughed loudly and looked to Devon. "Ahahaha how nice, you thought you'd be sharing the seafood... no, I'm getting my own order. And may my dad help you if you try to..." Her cheerful quip about leaving her food died down when she caught a glimpse of Luke. "The fuck... David, can you put two pints of vanilla stout on that tab too?"
Finally, as the drinks were delivered while they waited for the food from Flagrun Devon waved to the bleary blue-haired girl. [color=00c863]"Had too much to drink like Teri did last night, miss? Name's Devon, and the blond here is Ella."[/color]
Kala jumped up and dusted herself off as the currently invisible android crept away. She was kind enough to shake Dr. Insano's hand despite thinking, He's an eccentric one isn't he? And... is mad science really a serious academic subject? and deigned not to speak that thought for possibly being taken as criticism. Instead "Well, it's nice to meet you. My name is Kalastryn d' Zannifer. If that name means nothing to you, I don't blame you. To put it in terms you would understand, I'm an aristocrat from hell." She stated as she let go of his hand. "I'm glad that we've not slowed down on obtaining new arrivals since I bit the dust. I'm sure you'll see things you'll find quite... well just plain fucking weird, but you get used to it after a while. If your reaction to my own appearance is something to go on, your probably on the right track already. I'm seriously not the strangest thing here. For an example, see a friend of mine named Caim, who is engaged to a dragon."
*ahem* "well with that said, I think it really is about time for breakfast. Your welcome to follow me to the canteen if you need to find your way around. I won't give much of a tour though. Honestly, last night was the first time I'd ever even heard we had a library aboard, so I'm not much of an expert either." She said as, with or without them, she headed towards the canteen. One of the places aboard that she definitely does know how to find.
ARES meanwhile decided to follow them as well. Not saying a word to keep a low profile. that thing seems friendly enough... but I don't know.
Reeling back in mock terror at elves reaction, Rugal then smiled before saying "Ah...You know I jest only because I love you both." before wrapping an arm around the Drow as they set off.
"As for Mr. Mishima, he is better known for not taking prisoners so I guess it's understandable. Still, if he asks you to do any "Operation" or "Mission" on your own, promise me you will say no. He's the one who showed up with the Private Army, he can take care of it himself..." He then said to Melethia as they entered the Canteen, managing to snag a seat before the aforementioned Private army stormed in for the breakfast rush.
When the topic of newcomers came up, He was quick to answer "Well, first off, there is Katya. Strange sort she is, Haven't had to chance to talk with her, nor understand what she is saying. She has a strange way of speaking, though she seems to get along with Teri good enough, if last night was any indication. Rather into computers I find as well as social media, though from what I've heard, she did rather well in battle too during the Chemical Plant raid." as he motioned to the blue haired one as she spoke with the other group, nibbling on her order as she did.
"Aside from that, there is also ARES-35. Pretty sure David picked her up by the plant as well. Mostly stuck around Dr. Violet and some of G-Corp's people. Appears to be some kind of battle robot from the future, though she has enough common sense about her to do something other then shoot everything that moves. She's rather nice from what I've heard." He added, Slindis most likely recalling the sudden appearance of a killer android firing lasers at the Bookies back in LA.
"Oh, not sure if you are aware, but it appears Ms. Kalastryn is among us once more. I'm not too certain on the terms of her revival, though it seems to have delighted the young ones (Ton Ton, Cadolblog). Been meaning to return something to her as well-"
[color=c00000]"Her spellbook? Perhaps she can teach you how to "Properly" make Apple Sauce?"[/color]
"Hey, Enlarge Creature should have worked there! Besides, I-it washed out...[sub]Even if Devon had to tend to it[/sub]." He murmured as the Trifling walked in with a man in some kind of medical scrubs as well as what appeared to be gag glasses.
"The man beside her calls himself Dr. Insaneo. Willingly, which is perhaps the more disturbing part. A man of Science, I'm not sure if he went to an credible institution, but he seems to be far less "Intrusive" then Wanderer is with his studies so he shouldn't be a worry there. Believe he too arrived from LA."
"Finally, there is another woman by the name of Nadalia, calls herself the "Bride of Ash". A regal sort from a forgotten realm, though I've had a sparring match with her and Icarus and I can vow she is more powerful then her appears. Vivid Magic user, she also seems to believe that Mr. Mishima is her soulmate. While he seems to be playing along, one of his men said that it was easier then fighting her about it. Mel, I believe you were there at the time?"
All the while, David was still conversing with the others, smirking as Ton Ton picked up on his good vibes.
"Damn straight, I am Ton. Now I don't mean to brag, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut..." He said he as he reached into his jacket before producing a napkin with a series of numbers written on it, a phone number to be exact.
"It's nice to know i haven't lost my touch after all my time up here...I mean, it's on my phone already, but I like having something to show..." He chuckled as he put it back away, having finished his brag.
He paused however when Ella starting asking for a pint of stout, "...At 9am and for breakfast? Sounds like something I'd do...Wel-...Alright..." before leaning back and calling towards the bartender "Hey, Cool Hand Luke, 2 pints of Vanilla Stout for Mrs. And Mrs. here when yer ready!"
Rising Dawn: Medbay: Blade, Teri, Garm
Blade was supporting himself on the counter as he looked at all the strange medical bottles and vials, trying to find something labelled "Pain Killer" or at least a "Potion". Ah, why is human medicine so confusing?... He thought himself before he heard movement and looked over his shoulder to see both a young girl and what appeared to be a massive wolf in the room next to him. "Well, I'm just kinda looking for something to numb the pain if an-.....uhhhh..." He said as he entered the range of Teri's Healing Aura, prompting his wounds to start automatically heal as he watched them disappear without so much as a scar. "...Whoa...Is this you? How the hell are you doing that?" He asked as he moved his claw like fingers in front of his face, not really believing his eyes.
Cadolbolg | David West | Devon | Ella | Katya | Ton Ton
It took a few moment for Katya to respond to Devon, though it was in no small part due to the fact that it took her brain some time to translate the "sounds" that Deven spoke into actual words than anything else or there was also the fact that speaking to yet another new face seemed like an insurmountable task at the moment. Regardless of her reasoning, the young Crimson Haired Hacker paused long enough for her stomach to settle.
"Y3@h. Juz7 @ b17. 1'm K@ty@ by t3h by." Katya responded finally taking a bit of her bacon omelette super deluxe, the flavor bursting in her mouth like an explosion... of bacon! The taste left her feeling almost human again... almost.
"0h... th@z g00d." The Haxxx0r H3r01n3 muttered as she took another experimental bite and found the super deluxe part... a bit of habanero pepper, "G@h! H0t! H0t! H0t!"
As one should know when eating extremely spicy foods, water does little to quench the fire on one's tongue. It, in fact, seems to have the opposite effect. This is the same with soda as well.
"OMG! S3r10uz1y?!" Katya's pain continued after drinking her glass of water. It was only the timely intervention of an imp with a glass of milk that she was properly assisted.
Looking about the table, Katya's cheeks turned quite red when she realized the scene that she had made.
"S0rry!" She said, hiding her face and wanting to crawl under the table.
"
Code:
Little Miss, I believe that you should take this opportunity to get comfortable with interacting with larger groups of strangers.
" B3WP advised.
"I agree with BEWP, my dear. I think that this should be taken as a learning experience." Penny joined in on the rain on Katya parade.
Rising Dawn-Corridor (Leading to Canteen): Insano, Kalastryn, Boss, ARES
Insano re-adjusted his goggles. "[color=00ad83]I'm not sure what about you would be the least bit unsettling.[/color]" Insano said. "[color=00ad83]Especially considering some of the things I've seen just yesterday. Or even the things from my home universe.[/color]" Insano shuddered. "[color=00ad83]Which I'd rather not talk about until I've gotten a few drinks in me. Besides, my son is a freakish pink cephalopod, and I love him.[/color]"
Rising Dawn: Icarus, Selena
Icarus got out of bed, he groaned he had a rough day yesterday but Selena had been nice enough to heal him he then sat up and saw her lying next to her he gasped
"what the-" he was confused that's when his memory of last night came back,
Last Night said:
He had been sleeping when Selena had knocked
"Selena, what's going on?" he asked holding up a lit candle, she seemed nervous and fearful
"S-sorry but since what happened, I just got nervous being alone c-could I stay with you in your room tonight
A red blush creeped onto The half angel's face.
"Oh alright" he started to open the door when Selena hugged him closely
"Thanks I'm feel like it's somehow watching me"
They walked inside, Icarus didn't have his wings and lied back down when Selena lay down beside him he closed his eyes and eventually fell asleep
Morning
Icarus remembered and his face became red again his wings blinked back and the wrapped around him Selena stirred awake
"Hmm, oh good morning Icarus, she gently pushed his wings open and gave him a gentle hug, she then got up, Icarus saw she was wearing a frumpy white night gown she went behind the changing curtain Icarus turned his back and start picking up his neatly folded clothes his room was neatly kept admittedly he didn't have an opportunity to trash it he slowly put on his clothes
"Thanks for letting me in, I didn't want her to sneak up on me in my room alone in the dark"
she came out fully dressed, and she put a hand on his shoulder he turned around and she shifted his hand to touching his cheek she stepped in closer she was a little bit taller than Icarus, The Angel blinked his breath was a bit fast Selena leaned in very close tilting her head slightly lips about to- *Bing Bong!* "Attention passengers, 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!*
At the announcement Selena leaned away
"Lets get something to eat we got an hour" they walked and Selena bit her lip and gently offered her hand, Icarus blushed but took it and they crossed the hallways holding hands.
Selena was happy but a little nervous, not solely because of Faust though she despised that thing but Kalastryn had promised she would keep an eye on it.
She had entered the room for a few other purposes, she first wanted to try and fizzle away Icarus's memory with the scepter If Faust wanted it then Icarus may remember it was his and had realize it was taken by her. She also had taken a blood sample from the young Angel, she was curious but from what she could tell he was still an angel, but there was an odd taint to it, she had some suspicion on the matter but she wasn't sure. As far as she could tell Icarus was a half angel and somewhere in the process of falling she could only hope he wouldn't stay in his demonic form for long periods.
They reached the canteen
"Morning Everyone who's turn is it to cook breakfast?" Icarus asked smiling.
Kala saw more familiar faces than she thought around the breakfast tables. And even more-so less familiar G-Corp employees enjoying an early morning meal. She would have immediately taken a seat next to Slindis and Rugal with the news of her ressurection, however catching her eye was Selena and Icarus, and the pair of "eyes" hiding themselves whilst tailing Selena for safety returned to Kalastryn's palm, as the spell was running short on time. Better that than having wasted it. They seemed to slowly dissolve back into the hands that created them, and as they did so, Kala saw everything they had observed. Much to her embarrassment. Clearing her throat and walking to the two lovebirds, Kala addressed Selena. "I take it you and the angel here are quite well acquainted? I mean were I in your shoes, I would not have invited myself to his room last night if such wasn't the case." she said a bit sarcastically. There was a hint of apologetic tone in her voice. "I'm sorry to have invaded your privacy, it was a matter of safety... I didn't know you were staying in another room at that point of the night." she said, apologizing for the rude remark which started the conversation.
*ahem* "You may recall I informed you that I had cast a spell the prior night to ensure your safety. It was a spell called... prying eyes. It made a few magical orbs, no larger than a marble, that can actually see about 120 feet in all directions. When they returned just now... I saw what they saw..." she says, a hardly hidden embarrassment overflowing from their normally dignified tone of voice.
"Regardless, it is not really anyone's "turn" to prepare breakfast. We have a kitchen staff in our employment, so just pick out what you'd like from the menu." She says to the both of them before resuming the pursuit of her own meal.
She decided naturally to sit amongst her most long held friends. Walking to Slindis, Rugal, and (presumably) Melethia's table, she kindly asked. "Is this seat taken?" with a sly grin. Perhaps unaware that they seemed to have been aware of her arrival home. She picks up a nearby menu, not much waiting for their answer before sitting and placing an order to just "surprise me." before stating to the two of them. "Well... I'm pretty much immortal now." and awaiting their responses.
The drow woke up to the sound of the announcement being played throughout the ship. A soft sigh and shake of her head accompanied her getting dressed, her newly-repaired dress showing just the barest seam where she'd sewn it back together. Thankfully, the blood had cleaned off of it easily enough, although the scar down her torso matched the seam on the dress all too well. Probably should attend, even if there's likely little I can do to provide assistance... A harsh chuckle escaped her lips as she added mentally Assuming, of course, that I don't get removed as a 'disruptive influence' after yesterday... Still, the thought of the trouble she may have built up for herself didn't seem to deter her as she opened the door and started to quietly make her way down the hall, heading directly towards the hangar. Perhaps she could learn more about just what was going on by watching the preparations for the briefing - and the canteen was likely too crowded at the moment anyways, with all the extra people on board. Hopefully there'd be time to grab a meal after the briefing while everyone else was distracted.
Vivid images flashing by, the powerful breeze of the wind, the metallic handlebars, and the end of the world surrounding him. A dream back to the past, when Wanderer had accepted a contract. A package that has to be received by the protected city of New Vegas. The Wanderer had heard it was a place full of sin, such a place needs a cleaner, but not only that, the whole Mojave Desert was full of life. This made the Wanderer happy, that the world does have more life than what the Capital Wasteland showed him. The road was a quiet, desolate place, but he was happy, he had left the Capital Wasteland in good hands, and he also left it in a good state.
Even if most of it was now littered with bones of creatures, mutants, slavers, raiders, and even aliens.
The smell of blood was nothing to him, but this made his nose sensitive to the more ... pleasant things of life. The better things in life were much more colourful, and he loved it. Yet the memories of the necessary acts he had committed, lingered in that mind. The Cannibal's baby was one of them, he had to bury it along with the rest of it's family. A sad, but necessary day. Wanderer was looking forward to New Vegas.
That was, until he was shot in the head.
"BANG!"
"That one act ... "
"Made us realize, that were were not human. Something beyond? Something behind? We didn't know ... "
"All I wanted to do is live, hoping to make a brighter future for ourselves."
They did, but that is another story, and a rather long one at that.
[hr]
The sound of that gunshot made the 'man' flutter his eyes open. The scarring memories returning, the scarring environment, returned. Yet when he got up, it was somewhere else. "Right ... the shack." Wanderer muttered, cradling his aching head. Something dangled in front of him, his vision edging upward, it was a rope, tied into a circle, attached to the roof. The horror of the situation did nothing to him, the Wanderer simply blinked in confusion. Looking to the side, pills, too many of them, and to the other side, alcohol. Giving in his temptation, he looked down, his arms were clean. Giving a sigh of relief, he got up off the couch. "At least I'm not in a bathtub ... hey you there?" He said to his other side, wanting an explanation.
After trying multiple times, and several minutes of waiting, Wanderer gave up, "Sleeping ... maybe?" Looking around his shack, he noticed it looked as if another nuclear war happened. Sighing, he would have to use his Mr.Handy to clean up. "Jenkins, Get your thruster in here, my other side was an asshole again!" Wanderer called out. In an hour, the robotic butler with the help of Wanderer, cleaned up the whole room. It was even cleaner than usual, with the explosives actually in a safe container!
Pushing his door open, Wanderer witnessed the morning sun. Feeling the warmth on his skin, he basked in it, right up until the winter air hit him. Quickly covering himself with his Doctor's coat, he muttered under his breath, "Damn weather was it always like this?" Already tired of the crisp, cold air, the Doctor ran back into his home, to cook up something warm on this cold day. ("Man, fuck socializing,")

Storm-1788 (Unarmoured) [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120623034321/fairytailfanon/images/8/81/Anime-guy-anime-guys-6785916-320-547.jpg], and
The cold bitterness of the outside lingered in the air. The Rising Dawn's machinery easily fixed that, warming the air with vents, machinery, and unique devices. In a certain room, in a certain wing of the ship, two figures lay on a bed. A think quilt covering the two. The peace on this ship was just and due for all the crew, but this peace was disrupted by a newer voice. *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!*
Rolling over in the warm bed, the larger figure accidentally fell out of the bed. " *grumble* Passengers ... they're the [sub]passengers[/sub]" Storm said, getting out a yawn as his lingered on the room floor. The warm yet bitter air did not annoy him, because a face popped over the side of the bed. Rubbing her synthetic eyes, Alpha gave a nod towards Storm. "
Code:
[color=nvayblue]I agree ... they are the passengers. I would count them to barely pass as "guests"[/color].
" She said, and began to lay once again on the bed.
[sub]"Oh no you don't."[/sub] Muttered Storm, an annoying tone hanging in his low voice. Eyeing the quilt that Alpha laid on, he gave a strong tug, which sent the quilt and physical AI flying. Not going along to his plan, both went flying off the bed. First the quilt covered Storm, and a sudden force slammed into him, sending him once more onto the cold, metal floor. Dazed, Storm pulled the part of the quilt covering his face, starting to blush and look away, he saw Alpha, once again naked, but rubbing her head. "
Code:
[color=nvayblue]Ooooow. Why did you do that, idiot![/color]
." She said, punching him in the chest.
Knowing her looks, she blushed, as well. "I was hoping for something else, honest." Storm giggled immaturely. Almost growling, Alpha snatched all of the quilt, wrapping it around herself, and leaving Storm showing his own shame. "It isn't that bad ... besides, we only cuddled last nigh-." He said once more, before a pillow to the face silenced him. "
Code:
[color=nvayblue]Hmmf, cover yourself[/color].
" She said pouting. Wanting to pout himself, Storm excused himself to get changed.
[hr]
Rising Dawn | Hallways.
Dressed in their usual clothing, the couple were travelling towards the canteen. "
Code:
[color=nvayblue]Geez, it wouldn't harm you to be a little more gentleman-like[/color]
." She huffed, walking faster than usual. "(Says the one whose holding my hand." Storm responded in thought, and as if she had mind powers, Storm felt Alpha's harsh glare on him. Giving up to his little lady, once the two arrived at the elevators, he let go of her hand, and motioned to the open elevator. "After you, my lady." He said, imitating someone from the Victorian era. Satisfied with the service, she smiled and strode into the metal box.
Arriving at the floor to the canteen, Storm and Alpha walked the halls, finding Caim and Angelus. "Sup'." Storm hailed them with a wave, while Alpha gave a bow, "
Code:
[color=nvayblue]Good morning~[/color]

The President of the United States Saints., Pierce, Shorn, and Johnny Gat.
Location: White Crib | USA: DC | Avatar Adventure.
Gat gave Pierce a inch of a slightly worried look. "You know how I feel about flying." Pierce said, allowing most of the Saints in the room to reminisce about the time Gat 'died', but was actually instead, kidnapped by aliens. "I'm actually glad that fucking alien came along ... anyway, lets get to killing." Gat finally said before walking out of the room. The President looked at his best friend's back, and gave a smile to the two left in the room. Lifting up a lit cigar, he had a puff, "I have the feeling things will be better soon"
