Collaboration: The Gods and their Angels (Closed. We've Begun.)

[VaudevillianVeteran]

[sub]Clear Words: Sehnsucht will give orders and foresight to the champion, allowing the champion to act before attacks are thrown for a time. Seems to slow time slightly in the eyes of the champion.[/sub]

Sehnsucht gave a look of minor disbelief and horror, watching over the situation Vermillion was in.
Di-Did I not say to try and get in quietly and eavesdrop?! This does not look good...
Struggling to get used to the new connection, continuing to watch, she could see the approaching strange figures and the swift movement of a oncoming attack coming from the darkness.
...Damn it.
Taking a deep breath, Sehnsucht moved all of her focus to her mind, working to make herself heard to her newly added champion. Her voice was clear but slow, making time itself seem slow.
"Vermillion...dodge...from behind..."

 

[Safe in the Dark]

Vermilion watched as time seemed to slow."Problem, time flow?" He quipped before doing as he was told with a quick turn, and then a somersault before running deeper inside the castle."Almost, but not quite... See you later Puppet pals!" He chuckled and sighed in relief as time slowly began to resume at a normal pace.

Thanks... I'd have been fine either way, but I appreciate it.

The Metal Man stood up on the exterier side of the Man shaped hole in the side of the restaurant, he casually brushed of the splinters and dust off of his coat. "Oh its on now Taco Man, this is the point were I get super freaking SERIOUS!" he said growling the last part menicingly. He then formed a giant metal platypus, and while atop his mighty stead he, pulled forth his cardboard box and activated CARDBOARD GEAR FLIMSY making him invisible to his opponent.
The platypus charged forth, right through the wall of the Taco Party House, full speed at Jorge the Taco Warrior.
The platypus let forth a angry trill, as it lept at the giant taco man.

The giant taco, dodged the onslaught if only just barely."¡Mierda! ¿qué es esa cosa? Es como un monstruo horrible de las pesadillas de mi infancia!" he screamed, his voice over taken by the horror he felt witnessing that thing. He ran to the kitchen and grabbed a large knife. Now armed with the truly manly sized knife, with grit and a sense of righteousness he quickly went back to the metal platypus, and went on the attack, while screaming, "BATALLA ORINITORRINCO!!"

No matter how strong Jorge was the platypus was stronger, it agily dodged the expert knife strikes of the Taco man. The metal man was taunting his opponent and the Taco didn't even know it. He continued to dodge the knife, for a while, jumping around on his platypus, like a deranged kangaroo. It was at this point in the fight that the Metal Man riding his platypus construct stead, knew that the time had come to strike. The platypus' bill opened and it snatched the blade of the knife up and then uncerimoniously snapped it.

"¿Qué? El ornitorrinco me rompió el cuchillo. Dios mío ... se ... me rompió el cuchillo, el ornitorrinco ..... se me rompió el cuchillo!"shouted the Taco Man in complete and utter terror and shock. He stood motionless holding the handle of his knife as the giant beast stared back at him, this was the moment he saw the face of true terror.

The Metal Man, looked around and realized that if he continued this fight here the Taco Party House would be nothing more than ruble and dust. He needed to move this battle to somewhere else, he pondered for a second a then he knew where he needed to go, the goatse of the universe, which oddly enough was literally right next to the domain of The Poison God. Now that he knew where to go he pulled of the box revealing that his upper body was sprouting from the platypus's back...or more accurate his legs were the platypus.

Upon seeing that the horrid beast was in fact the old man that he had been fighting, was absolutely livid, "¡Tú!, yo te voy a romper por la mitad!" he screamed.
The Metal Man, took this opportunity to lead the Taco to the Goatse Of The Universe. On the way he saw that in his creator's domain a large spider robot lady and some puppets were there. "Well that is so not cool, PG is having a puppet/spider robot party without me." he said as the Giant Taco man chased the Giant Platypus to there destination.

 

[Fury Is Me.]

Asmodeus watched as Vermillion seemed to achieve a burst of monsterous speed and escape the Stalker Maidens and the Marionettes. The Stalker Maidens made and attempt to follow but the Marionettes quickly dispersed again. Deeper inside the castle, a few groups of Lancer dolls greeted Vermillion with swift strikes that sent them forward with each thrust. Asmodeus watched them again as the Stalker Maiden's continued their silent pursuit.

 

[Safe in the Dark]

Vermilion stomped the ground twice and tried the Iron maiden drop on some of the Lancer dolls."Sheesh... This place must belong to some really big ugly girl. What's next, a bra washing machine?" He said scattering some souls behind him and planning his next moves very carefully.

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

Sehnsucht stifled a laugh at the comment and coughed to cover it.
"Don't be so brash...this is a delicate situation and seeing as someone decided against the espionage..."
She smirked at the comment in half jest.
"I can provide focus for a little while longer...I'm sure a little back up would not kill you...this is a most bizarre place..."

 

[Fury Is Me.]

On a ceiling high above, an Iron Maiden was waiting for a chance, knowing that from it's altitude, it would be difficult to spot. Intently watching Vermillion's movements, it watched the Lancer Dolls drop to the ground when struck by him and then saw what looked like a good time. With inhuman strength, it kicked off the ground, entering the inverted field of gravity of Vermillion's corridor and spinning itself upright, legs bent, sword pointed downward and barreling towards Vermillion at high speed. Asmodeus watched with curiosity to see the outcome, but not worry.

Crest was not a patient reptile-creature, and as such, The Endless was not surprised to find that he had gone off from the Empire on his own. First, Maestro takes his sweet time wondering that field, and now this, The Endless thought. "Does fealty mean nothing?" He growled in distaste, slamming a tight fist angrily on the arm of his ornate throne. A new set of guardians now flanked him, one a large, turtle-like Aberration whose green-black mottled shell was covered in twisted spikes, the other like a winged lion with the horns of a goat, fur black as night with a mane of darkest blue.

The Endless looked within, delving into the conscious of his disobedient servant. The stark, white nothingness that was the remnant of the universe's sky assaulted him. Wind whipped harshly at him as Crest flew at an astounding speed high above the land resting below. Crest shifted his gaze from the eerie sky to look at the Domains below him, and a thought entered The Endless' mind, Crest's thought, My lord relies too much on that musical dandy. I will find the weaknesses of those who surround us, and he will remember our place in his Empire. Spying a hole in some strange, twisting and twining castle nestled in a pale, monochromatic land, Crest commanded his mount with a sharp kick. The mottled, featherless avian cawed and descended at a blinding pace, spiraling briefly before they would have hit the ground and spreading it's wings to arrest the fall.

As it floated up toward the hole, The Endless could take no more, asserting his will into Crest's own mind. Crest! The voice boomed inside Crest's mind, rattling his head and surprising the reptile, Stop this! Return at once. This is no time for such foolishness!

Crest shook his head, staggering into the gaping wound in the castle's side. No, my lord. This is merely reconnaissance. I will do nothing so foolish as engage the puppet-creature who resides here. I will merely... search, Crest asserted in turn. The Endless could stop his thrall, but, this was a prime opportunity: it was obvious that someone was already here, parading about in this realm. If the puppet was preoccupied...

Continue, The Endless told Crest. The situation was too fortuitous to ignore.

 

[Safe in the Dark]

"What's so funny, Boss lady~?" He jokingly questioned before being violently impaled through his center, the wound making a horrible crunching, and splattering sound."Ughhh... Guess... I messed up... didn't I, Boss lady?" He managed to say, managing one more laugh before there was a long deep silence.

 

[Fury Is Me.]

Asmodeus watched Vermillion get impaled by an Iron Maiden, she'll have to congratulate that one later. If her mouth could move and show her emotions, there would be an enormous grin on her face right now, but as it did not, all that happened was the beginnings of a small cackle, insulting and dark. It slowly built, more and more until it erupted into an uproarous laughter that resonated through her arms, filling the entire castle with her laughter. "Hahahahaha! Ahaha! HAAAAHAHAHA!" Asmodeus calmed herself down after a good long laugh. "Oh, the fool, not even trying simple espionage to find me, not like anyone can sneak through the halls of my home without me knowing. I'll give him a proper burial."

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

The deranged laughing from the puppet being she had observed made Sehnsucht's head hurt.
"You! Vermillion...! G-Get up! This is a command!"
The silence made Sehnsucht's heart guilty. Did she just get her only chance killed? Did she expect too much from the being she had only today? Did she underestimate what she'd seen?
Aaaaaau~? Did he diiiiiiiiiiie~? Did heeeeeeeeeee~? Heeeeeheeeeeee~ The puppet got mad and smushed him~~~
"S-Shut up! What is wrong with you?!" She growled with exasperation at the intruding voice that broke her concentration.
Regaining what little energy she had left to communicate she pursed her lips and thought about what to do next.
"Vermillion!"
Oooh~ He's dead~~~ Can we keep him, Sehnny~~~? He was rather interesting, no~~~? I want him for my toooooooy box~ Haaaaaaaa~ Send the doggies to collect his scraps~ Heeeeee~

 

[Safe in the Dark]

What erupted from the wound was not blood, what it was, was not even remotely blood like, looking into the wound would have revealed a vast 'wrongness' the likes of which most were not meant to see. A jet black, hazy, smog-like substance poured freely from the wound as his mouth slowly opened. "̴͜H̨̀҉̸͟a̛͞h͟͏҉a̷̕͞h̶̛á͜͠h̢̀͘͢a͢͞҉͢.̢͝҉҉.̸̧.̧ ̷̸͘̕B̶̸̢́͘è͢͏c̡͝͏̸a̶̢͘͢u̸̵͠ş̵̷́͡ȩ̷̧̧̀ ̴̛̛I̴҉ ́͡c̕͞o̢͏̴͢u҉҉͢l̡̀͝d̸̕͡͠ ̸̨̕ņ́ò̷̧̨͡t̡ ̨́ş̷͘͟͝t̛͟͡͏o͏̵̧͘͡ṕ̵̛ ̢̀͜f̧͝o̵̷͜͞ŗ̛ ̢̢̀̕͢d̸̡ȩ̷̵̸̡ą̨̡͜͡ţ̵͡҉h̶͡,́͡ ̴̵ḩ̴̀é̶͢͟ ҉̷̷͜k̴͟͠i͝͝n̷̢d̢̛̛͡͠l͘͢y̡͢ ̀͢s̷̨̨̛̀t̶́̕̕o̸͜͟͠p̴̡p̶҉͏̢e҉̀͞d̸̨̕͢͠ ̸͟f̷̸͝͞o̡͞r҉̢͘ ̵̨̛͘m͏ę̕.̧̡͟͠.̧̨҉̕.̡̧ ̴̸̛͝Ǫ̷r̴̛ ̨̡̨͠s҉̶̷͢ò͢͡m͘̕͜͡͠e͢t̢̛̕͘͜h̶͢i͟͡͝n̴̡͡g̀́̀ ̛̕͟҉a͢͝͡l͘͝͝͡͝ò̶͟͠n̵̢҉g̶͠ ̧̡̀͟͝t̸́h̢͢͞a̸̸̢͜͠t͜͝ ̢̨ŗ̴̀͘͝i̷͞҉̸̧g͢͟͠ḩ͟͞t̡̛̛͜?́͡͝"҉͢ He slowly rose up onto the lance more of the haze pouring from him as he reached for the chain scythe and used one of the heads to dismantle the doll. "You sure can pick a winner, eh, Boss lady?" He then dusted himself off and picked up his dropped Scythe before advancing and whistling Chopin's funeral march.

 

[Fury Is Me.]

Asmodeus had watched the entire scene unfold after he laughing fit and her attitude could best be described as angry beyond all reason. She shrieked loudly, not a frightened shriek, but an angry shriek. "Insect! Filthy worm! Leave me before i annihilate you're very being down to the very last quark that makes up the atoms of your body!" She shouted. As she did, Two of her octopus tentacle arms erupted from the walls to both sides of Vermilion and attempted to crush him, the eyes on them spasming wildly and bloodshot with rage.

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

In a bizarre way, this was probably the first time that Sehnsucht and Schadenfreude did anything in sync, both went quiet for once.
Huh~
Huh...
Heeeee~ He'll be in my tox box one of these days~ Not today it seems! How sad!
Damn showboater. I will keep my eye on him.
Oh Sehnny~ Let me watch for a while~~~ It's so quiet in this place~ I wish to watch that man play with those dollies~~~
Begone! Do not call me that!
Needing to take control back in order to send messages to him, Sehnsucht closed her eyes and continued to watch.

 

[Zirat]

Objective Complete: Enter Domain​

Flashed in her vision momentarily before she heard the foggy being talk at her. With a bored expression she ran a quick diagnostics scan of the air that comprised it. But it did little good, it's substance was a mystery to her scanners, though it did agree that it was in fact highly caustic, and even in her artificial state it would be a blatant disregard of self preservation to both anger and try to wrangle with it with the puny device provided, at least head on.... even if the fact that the thing had a head was dubious at best.

Frowning slightly Priscilla spoke to the nebulous master of the domain "Well, I entered your domain on behalf of my current benefactor. I'm to enter here and extract a sample of the purest toxin in this dump, and by the looks of it, I would assume that would be you" she said, crossing a pair of her arms in front of her.
"Is it out of the question to assume you'll give it willingly?"

 

[Safe in the Dark]

Vermilion grinned his trademark grin and quickly flipped, throwing the harvester down and landing on the very top of the handle while the arms crashed into the sides of the unholy weapon, he then looked up and cupped his hands around his mouth."That the best you got, Doll-face?!" he said giving a shrug."I'll see you soon you big ugly girl... boy... Inanimate... Oh, fuck it."

Impressed with me yet, sweet-cheeks?

He said telepathically, giving a quick wink.

 

[Fury Is Me.]

Asmodeus' mouth was crushing the baleen together angrily. Her two arms quickly slammed themselves back into the walls and moved along, vanishing from sight. She spoke to herself "Let this ingrate come... I'll speak to him once he gets here... If he gets here. Meanwhile, my minions will make sure to continue trying. Now come, formidable worm. Find me if you can."

She took the time to check Priscilla again and was astonished at how quickly she had found the Poison God. "If i can take one good thing out of this, it appears that my new elite is capable. Now bring me that extract."

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

Sehnsucht gave a mild twitch at the comment and tapped her fingers to her temples.
S-So cocky. Wh-What's he playing at...?
Heee~ Did you see the way he smashed that thingy~~~Do it again~!
You're not helping things either you...ugh. Shush! This is important, it seems that he's making progress into the puppet's domain...

 

[Safe in the Dark]

Vermilion continued his mad dash through the various rooms cutting down the weaker minions and avoiding the rest as he was fairly certain that this was the right direction."Come out, come out wherever you arrreee....!" He went through one last door and looked up, and what he saw, he proceeded to describe in an eloquent, befitting manner."ohgodthatbiguglygirlisthebiggestandugliesanythingi'veeverseen."

 

[Fury Is Me.]

Asmodeus seemingly pitifully attempted to raise her head to set her normal eyes on Vermillion. "Well you found me... Congratulations... Was it worth it?" She said, controlling her rage well. "I assume you're here for something... why don't you tell me what it is and maybe we can work something out..." Asmodeus was ready to send every single doll in the room to assault Vermillion, but made no inkling of movement to give it away. "Go on then... Tell me why you decided to intrude on me today..." As she spoke, her voice fluxuated from demonic tones and then to average human male tone.
