We Are Our Avatars V (Closed)

[Slenn]

Reimu and Marisa had been listening in on the upper floor from their inn's window.

"That must be the hooded figure Rex was talking about." Marisa whispered.

<color=red>"I don't suppose we could go down there and see what's up?"

"And just because he's the prime suspect, doesn't mean we're going to jump to conclusions okay? Need I not remind you incident #6.5 with the never ending feasts?"

<color=red>"No, you don't need to remind me. Now let's go down there and see what we can find out." The girls walked themselves down and then outside to where Alex, Bryce, and the Farseer were talking.

 

[Random berk]

OOC: Fuck, laptop died.

Mercer didn't react to the woman's hint at her knowledge. He found the humans mildly amusing, at least when they were actually doing something, and had been prepared to grab and consume both Bryce and the stranger in the white armour just to keep the game going a little longer. He considered the possibility of consuming the woman anyway once there were no witnesses. He was interested in how she knew so much.

"My interest is firmly on others. Foresight is a burden and it is dangerous to reveal too much to those who lack the sight. It can alter fate too heavily and randomly." She warned.

OOC: Her armour is black with bone highlights.

 

[FPSfanatic]

"Oh good, so you won't mind keeping your trap shut when it comes to things occurring. I like being surprised." He jabs into the body with his finger, piercing skin and closing his eyes.

OOC @Slenn CORPSE. He walked up to a corpse and jabbed it.

 

[Slenn]

Both Marisa and Reimu gasped loudly as Bryce plunged his finger into the corpse's chest.

<color=red>"What the...?!"

 

[Random berk]

OOC: @Ven Oh right. Sorry.

"In all your knowledge, I don't suppose you have an easy route from here to the upper city?" Mercer asked. He knew he could probably sprint straight up the side of the cliffs, but it would probably attract attention. Best if he could sneak up there somehow.

 

[Slenn]

@FPS. Got it. I'm trying to gather as much as I can.

 

[VeneratedWulfen93]

She closed her eyes. "The upper city is beyond you and always will be for I will not allow it."
She started to walk away. As she left she projected words into Mercer's mind. Fight me if you wish abomination but when it is more prudent then I will gladly entertain you for you are right about my knowledge. 763 human years of existance."

 

[FPSfanatic]

Bryce looks up at the other two. "Oh, more new people. Great. Name's Bryce, and I'm currently trying to analyze this virus." He slowly leans into the stab, and blood begins welling from the stab wound in the body. "So, what do you guys want to be called?"

OoC: @Slenn no problem, I just wanted to correct it before Venerated decided that I had attacked the farseer and that I needed to die because WH40k can be insanely dangerous.

 

[VeneratedWulfen93]

OOC: Off to work.

 

[Random berk]

"I was asking for advice, not permission." Mercer called after the mind reader. "I'll find my own way up." And in his head, he responded to her projection.
763 years? You're right. I'll study that knowledge with great interest when the time comes.

 

[Slenn]

"That lady... she looks like she's very powerful. I feel something coming from her, but I'm not sure." Marisa whispered to Reimu as the Seer went away, turning away from the corpse.

"Pardon us, we're from Gensokyo. I'm Marisa."
<color=red>"And I'm Reimu."
"We got here after experimenting with a 5th dimensional travel spell to travel to alternate Earths. And we decided to explore this alternate universe a bit. But now that something with a huge conflict has shown up, now we want to be part of this investigation."

<color=red>"Virus? Is that what these corpses have?"

 

[Demonjazz]

OOC: What ze hell have I missed

 

[Outisakanobody]

@Dot: Oh! We can start a club! The 'My entire family is dead' club!

Hmm...Royce would fit pretty well there...spoilers...

 

[Random berk]

@Dot: Oh! We can start a club! The 'My entire family is dead' club!

Hmm...Royce would fit pretty well there...spoilers...

OOC: Are you just putting Royce through the same character arc that he went through the first time you used him?

 

[FPSfanatic]

"Well, if you could find a few more virus ridden corpses, I can scan their bloodstream for the virus, and see if we can find mutations. If we do locate mutations, it helps me build an image of whether the virus is manmade, how so, and possibly, if one of them was directly infected, who did it." Bryce pulls his finger out of the body. The finger, instead of being a normal one, has changed into a biological needle, sharpened at one point and with a strange bump formed in its second knuckle, bulging with something.

OoC: @Trty well Caesar, being at a cellular level, can directly access the blacklight virus and analyze it. Since they can give memories, I'm planning on just stabbing them until @Random tells me I found one with the proper memories. Just a heads up, I did not finish Prototype, so I might be misunderstanding how the blacklight virus works.
@Outis Well, Bryce gets in too... Does he get special membership for it happening multiple times?

 

[Chungus]

OoC And I'm back.
Also, I supose Raziel fits in the "my entire family is dead" club. Sort of.

Having followed the others back to this paticular building, I had posioned myself ontop of a building opposite it. From here, I watched as the wayfarers against a foe that could render himself invisible at will, as well as another unseen one. As day turned into night, I also noted the appearances of the abominations increase. It would seem they their boldness increased by the day. How much longer would it take before they overrun the city? I wondered.
Putting the thought aside, I leapt down from the rooftop and walked over to where the others had gathered.

 

[Random berk]

OOC: @FPS Wait, Bryce can obtain memories like that as well? OK. And to be honest, I'm taking Prototype's rules and plot very loosely myself.

If you want you can say Bryce finds one of the original infected. The person won't know much. He was just walking the streets, surrounded by people, but they were fuzzy and indistinct. He didn't recognise them and wasn't paying attention to them either. Mercer might have been standing right in front of him, but the man failed to see him with any clarity, if you understand what I mean. He was looking at him, but didn't see him. Then suddenly, he heard someone shout, and then the stabbing pain as a tendril pierced his thigh. The greater agony as the tendril divided smaller and smaller, forcing its way along his femoral artery and then into the smaller veins, carrying the infection at an increased rate. His stomach turning and his lungs and heart burning. Then nothing.

 

[Demonjazz]

OOC: What have I missed

 

[Slenn]

Reimu and Marisa cringed a little as they saw Bryce's needle-finger. <color=red>And I thought Erin's medical studies were creepy.

"Well, I think we zapped a few just after we got here. I think I remember where that was. We'll be right back then." The girls hopped onto Marisa's broomstick and flew off as fast as a bicycle to get some corpses.

OOC: I'm going to get some quarters to do laundry. I'll be back in about 15 to 20 minutes.
