Clans of Garrus (STARTED! Still accepting applicants)

[revolverwolf]

Hammond jumped towards the psionic man, swinging both weapons. Sadly he swung a little shorter than he had hoped and the man easily avoided the attack, throwing a chair to hit Hammond in a counterattack. It fragmented on impact, not doing much damage, but his pride had certainly taken a hit. He cursed silently and put his weapons back up, hoping for better luck in his next attack.

 

[Nukey]

Magnis let out a scream as he blindly charged, throwing himself onto the psionic. He delivered a straight the man's face, knocking out a few teeth, and then retreated before the man could react.

"I freaking killed you!" He shouted getting back into his stance, trying to egg the psychopath into a fight.

 

[The Fork of Truth]

The sound of commotion erupted from somewhere from the far end of the square Ari was running towards. The crowd began to hush and a man's voice could be heard.

"-mad psionic in the town! All citizens are to move out of this distr-"

His voice was drowned out once more by anxious cries and shouted questions, but the crowd moved on nonetheless, the contagious symptoms of panic beginning to rear up. Ari tried her hardest to reach them, but she was far too tired. She dropped to the ground, breathing heavily, trying to stand.

Savannah slowed as he approached her. Trying to help her up, he said,

"You have caused far too much bother for me today. You are coming with me to that bar now."

If she gets away again, I am not going after her. She has wasted enough of my time.

 

[The Fork of Truth]

"Do you realise," Savannah muttered partly to himself but mostly to Aricla, "just how much trouble you and your comrades have caused me? All I wanted was to get what I was owed and make my way out of this sinkhole. But I've been spending the last few hours chasing a madwoman I have never met before from pillar to post-"

"Citizen!" a bark from behind him interrupted, "What are you still doing in this district? We are cordoning it off now, and no-one will be allowed in or out in ten minutes. You are to follow me out of this zone."

Savannah weighed the officer up. She was shorter than he, but he could tell that she was experienced and unlikely to back down. If he made a move, she would most probably be able to incapacitate him, at this distance.

"I am sorry, officer, but I am under strict instruction to return this woman to her companions. If this is in relation to the psionic, as I believe it to be, then I am certain that they will have dealt with him by now."

The officer was unaffected. After threatening Savannah with arrest, he decided it was best to comply for now.

This is turning out to be a truly poor day.

 

[Alotak]

Aloran looked down to the man as he flew over him, he noticed the chair hitting Hammond, as landed lightly on the other side of the Psionic. He brought one axe up and one down, the first down into his right sholder and the other into his left side passing each other in the middle. Blood spurted everywhere covering the naked Magnis and Aloran, with spatterings of the red liquid.
The mans insides spilt out onto the floor, rolling around Aloran's feet. He stared straight ahead, into the angry face of Magnis.

"Hey big man, thanks for distracting him." He said breathing heavily, he brought the axes down into there sheiths. "Is there a waterbutt outside mate?" Aloran said to the barman.

 

[thegamermn]

The bartend pointed down the hall from under the counter where a wretching sound could be heard

 

[sky14kemea]

This pipe is weird... Em puffed on a pipe she had recently bought, wondering what the big deal was.
A door swung open, as Alo rushed out and wretched into a waterbutt.
"Whoa... Eeeeew." Em grimaced as the sound. "What happened to you?"

Spoiler: Alotak

Hope you don't mind me moving you outside >_> I had no idea how to get myself back into the story xD

 

[revolverwolf]

"Ahh... Stupid bitchy psionics," Hammond complained loudly, picking a splinter out of his side, "Think they're so good with their floating chairs!" He stomped down onto what was left of the man, desecrating the already mangled mess of organs. "Why. Did. You. Do it!?" He shouted, punctuating his words with squishes from the man's corpse. "You couldn't wait until after our team's beastmaster came back from her psychotic episode. Nooooo. That would be too good for us!" As his sentence ended he kicked what was left of the man across the room, sending half of it splattering onto a wall and sliding slowly down to leave a trail of sickly yellow bile, the other half scattering itself across the room in a thick red paste.

He felt eyes upon him, so turned to see their owners. They were stood, all shocked at his outburst.

"You know what? Fuck you guys. I've spent the entire day so far trying to get Ari back to normal, carrying her the entire way back here and had to comfort her as she cried her eyes out and the rest of you couldn't even get off your own arses, not even to find out about her, until your own life was at risk! Yeh, none of you have even figured it out yet. You didn't know she was broken until right fucking now!" His voice was cracking and he stormed out of the bar, throwing a table over in the process. He could barely hear or see anymore, everything was an obscure blur caused by his rage, but he stormed in any direction he could. Why couldn't they have shown up before? Why couldn't they have helped Ari like he had tried? Why did she have to run off again...? He wiped a blood-sodden sleeve across his eyes, clearing them of the gathering tears and staining his face with a deep red line.

Couldn't she see that he meant well?

...Maybe she couldn't. Maybe whatever had happened had made her unable to see his intention. Everything he was doing could be for naught, Ari could eventually be lost completely. No! He wouldn't accept that! She couldn't be gone. He could still see her in his mind, a confident juxtaposition of the present Ari, and he wouldn't let her slip away just because she was blinded by her madness. He would help her clear her mind, whether she wanted his help or not. But first he must find her... He started walking further away from the bar, knowing she would not return there of her own accord.

 

[Alotak]

Aloran plunged his head into the water, before vomiting to the side of the water butt, trying to purge the blood soaked naked form of Magnis from his mind, he leaned against the butt panting.
He turned around to see Em, hearing her inquire as to the happenings inside the bar.
"Crazy Psionic," he breathed "Throwing stuff; Ari's gone twisty; I... disposed of floaty; Magnis naked covered in blood."
Feeling he had justified himself enough he leant forwards, and collapsed onto Em, the shock of the sanguine soaked soldier proving a bit much for him.

Spoiler: occ

It's not a problem, apart from the vomiting in the bucket thing. Hope you dont mind me colpaseing on you.

 

[sky14kemea]

"Waagh." Em caught Alo shakily, leaning against the wall to hold his weight.
"Okay... Well Magnis is nearly always naked, but what's up with Ari?"

Spoiler: OOC

By all means , like the alliteration btw xD

 

[Alotak]

"Ari, may have flipped out. When I say may I mean she has gone so crazy we could get money for showing her in a circus, Trust me I'd know."
Alo steadied himself still leaning on Em.
"Did you see Hammond just now? He was a little angry."

 

[sky14kemea]

"I heard some yelling, but I haven't seen him." Em bit her lip anxiously. "Right, you stay here, I'm gonna try and find Hammond or Ari." She gently moved Alo away, allowing him to lean against the wall instead.
She ran round the side of the Inn, looking around before spotting Hammond in the distance.
Argh, he's a fast walker. Em started running.

 

[Alotak]

"Wait!" Aloran called stumbling after her, pauseing to vomit again.
"I think the green guy went after her," He broke into a painned run following Em.

 

[The Fork of Truth]

Mr. Savannah's face was a picture of undisguised indignation. They had made it through the barrier quickly, and the streets were almost empty. Most people were staying in their houses or in accommodation provided by the police. Savannah had managed to slip away from that, thankfully. From their current position, they stood a slim chance of getting back to that bar.

First, however, Aricla needed to rest. She was dead on her feet and mumbling something indistinctly. He spotted a likely-looking building and went in. It was mercifully empty. He ordered a hot meal of something filling and a good room from the landlord, who looked concernedly at Aricla for a moment, then complied.

He left Aricla in the room with the soup he had been given and a curt "Eat this." Outside, he removed his hat and stood against the wall, contemplating - often darkly - the day's events so far.

 

[revolverwolf]

Hammond stopped as his eyes scanned the horizon for any presence of Ari. Ari... Where are you? Don't tell me that Savannah has lost you... Just don't. He continued searching, his eyes filling up again as his hope steadily dwindled.

"Hammond?" He heard a voice come from behind him, feminine and slightly afraid. For a moment he thought that Ari had returned. But only for a moment. He spun around, the person standing there was no-one he had wished to see at this point in time. It was hard enough for him at the moment without Em trying to voice her own worries to him.

 

[sky14kemea]

"Hammond, are you okay? I heard some Psionic attacked you guys, and Ari's acting weird." Em noticed his eyes were red.

Spoiler: OOC

I stared for like 5 minutes before writing this line. You guys are right, I'm a crap RPer :/

 

[revolverwolf]

"Weird? When I went to bring her back to us she looked at me as though I was some axe wielding pschopath come to kill her. Do you have any idea what that feels like, to have that much fear and hatred projected towards you from someone who couldn't so much as give you an angry glance before?" He turned away, sighing.

His voice lowered, just enough to still allow Em to hear. "Weird doesn't even scratch the surface of what her problem is... I just wish I knew what it was..."

Spoiler: OOC

I stared for like 5 minutes before writing this line. You guys are right, I'm a crap RPer :/

No-one ever said that. I mean, I sometimes spend several hours writing my posts, but that doesn't make me a bad RPer.

 

[sky14kemea]

Em patted Hammond's arm sympathetically.
"I dunno, but we shouldn't give up on her." She sighed, angry at herself for wandering off.
"Want me to help look for her?"

Spoiler: OOC

Yeah but at least when you spend hours, you write a decent amount :/
