Pokemon RP Slots closed Chapter 11: I'm on a boat!

[Mookie_Magnus]

Magnus took a sip of the wine that Jared had so graciously ordered for them, and let it roll around his tongue. The wine itself tasted fairly good, as he expected from an expensive bottle of red wine, but he had never really like red wine. He found it too tannic, too harsh on the palate. The alcohol burned nicely as it slipped down his throat, and he set the glass down.

"It's good, for red wine." Magnus said, feeling proud at being able to drink this. "But I'm more looking forward to what we're having tonight."

"That's my boy, Magnus!" Jared laughed slightly. "I'll be sure to show you a good time."

"Just make sure I don't enjoy myself so much that I do something I'll regret later." Magnus drank the wine, he needed to dispel this strange feeling he had that something bad was going to happen. Also, partly to prepare his system for the upcoming deluge of fermented and refined liquors.

"Or someone you'll regret later." Jeffrey joked, but not rudely.

"Yeah." Rodney added. "Otherwise Aari will make him sleep on the couch."

"Sleep on the couch..?" Aari asked them. "What do you mean by..."

She looked at Magnus with a look of anger on her face. Magnus filled his mouth with a forkful of the delicious pasta and Corphish in a saffron cream sauce, hoping to avoid what she was going to say next.

"Magnus... did you tell them?" Aari said quietly, but with an inflection that caused Magnus to choke slightly. He swallowed his food and talked back to her.

"I...*hack*.. I didn't...*cough* Ahem..." Magnus cleared his throat and explained. "I didn't mean to, it just sort of slipped out this morning."

The air stood still with a short moment of silence. Magnus hoped someone other that Aari would break it.

"Well, Aari, to be fair, I think we all figured out what was going on once you guys finally started sharing a room," Jared said, finishing off his glass of wine. "I mean, you don't put a Zangoose and a Seviper in the same pen without expecting them to fight, and when you put a girl and a guy who like each other like you two do, in the same place, with no one else around, well......" By this point in time, more wine had found its way into Jared's glass and was fast on its way to meeting the same fate as the first batch.

..."Jared said, finishing off his glass of win."... This made me chuckle.

Aari refused to talk to Magnus, despite his pleading and apologizing. Eventually, he gave up, and continued eating and trying to enjoy his birthday.

********************************************************

After everyone had eaten their fill, and were sufficiently full, they called for the check. After the bill was paid, Jared, Alan, and Magnus parted their way from the rest of the group, headed towards the nearest club.

*********************************

As Aari walked back to her shared room with Magnus, she was still upset. It wasn't the fact that the group knew that she and Magnus were in a sexual relationship... she didn't care if they knew. What upset her was that Magnus told them when it was none of their business.

Hmm... Aari thought. He did say it wasn't on purpose... I guess I can forgive him.

She reached for her pokeballs, thinking that her Pokemon would enjoy the night air. She noticed that one of them was missing.

Where's Eon? Oh, that's right... Magnus must still have him. That's fine, I guess...It's nice out, I think I should a walk on the beach.

Aari began to walk along the beachfront in the shadow of a string of buildings, headed in the same direction where the clubs Magnus, Jared, and Alan were in. On the roof of one of these buildings, a mysterious figure holding a crossbow stalking her.

It might not be the blond bloke... The assassin thought. However, this is just as good.

Aari continued walking, unaware of her situation.

**************************************************

Magnus was led into a club by Jared and Alan. The three made their way to the bar where Jared ordered them a round of shots.

"Birthday shots, Magnus. Bottoms up!" He cheered.

"What exactly are these, Jared?" Magnus asked.

..."Jared said, finishing off his glass of win."... This made me chuckle.

Well of course. That's what wine is made of......Trust me, I'm older. I learned these things.......

"I told ya, Mag! What we got us here is some Sambuca! But it's not ready yet. Give me a sec." Jared produced a lighter out of his back pocket and quickly lit all three shots, The flames burning a bright blue before Jared extinguished them. "That makes it taste better! Now, partake!"

The three guys tossed their shots back, the liquid crawling down Jared's throat. "Ah yeah, all right, that's how you do it, nuts to the coffee bean trick! No offense, but that's much better than wine. I just didn't want the sprinklers going off at the dinner." Jared listened to the music overhead. "All right, that sound means time to head out onto the floor!" Jared quickly grabbed one beer off the waitress and made his way amongst the sea of revellers. "Come on guys! I can't party for three!"

 

[terribleyetfun]

jeffery shuffled back to his room by himself still a little depressed about acting nice
"I`m starting to think this nice guy thing is`nt for me...but then again if I don`t....okay I`l keep on trying" jeffery thought to himself as he kept on walking back to his room taking the route along the beach he began to see Aari in the distance but decided against walking with her for the time being.

"hmmmm she looks kinda upset....best at least try to talk to her" jeffery said to himself before calling out to Aari and trying to catch up to her the sand making it difficult to run faster than a jog.

 

[revolverwolf]

Ordering and tossing back a second shot, though still savouring the first, Alan half-waved to Jared. "Na. I'm not the dancing type. Not yet anyway." He chuckled and turned back to his emptied shot glass.

Jared had quickly reappeared from out of the party atmosphere, "Come on! It's Mag's eighteenth and it's our sacred duty to make sure he never remembers it. You wouldn't want to disappoint, right?"

"Fine, fine. Let me have one more then I'll meet you guys out there."

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

Magnus downed another of the ignited shots, the alcohol burned his throat, but he found it pleasing. Despite the strength of the alcohol, it was a very good drink. He downed two more, and followed Jared and Alan to the dance floor.

"So Jared..." Magnus asked. "What's the etiquette for asking someone to dance. Oh, and how drunk do you think I need to be to think that I can dance?"

*******************************

The assassin stalked the rooftops in the darkness... perfectly hidden from sight. He hadn't lost track of the girl. He noticed that a boy had approached her. He recognized the boy as one of the marks... The one whom his clients had identified as the short loud one.

My lucky day. He thought. Two for one... Just so long as they hold still... Good, they've stopped moving.

 

[terribleyetfun]

Jeff ran up to Aari slight;y huffing and puffing from the full sprint he had to do to catch up to her.

"hey......Aari" jeffery said in between breaths.

"oh, hi Jeff" Aari said rolling her eyes.

"hey you kinda left in a hurry, what`s the matter" Jeff asked regaining his breath.

"I doubt it`s something you can help me with" Aari replied turning to continue down the beach.

"well do you need any company, you seem like you could use some" jeffery asked starting to follow.

 

[NeoAC]

"There really is no etiquette in the clubs, mate," Jared said, searching the clubbing knowledge he had gained in his eight week university career. "You start dancing up a storm on the floor, if a lovely lady starts dancing back at ya, then you start dancing together, and things go as far as you want from there." Jared chugged down the rest of his bottle. "As for the drunk level, once those shots you took start hitting ya, you'll feel like you can punch out a Hitmonchan! Speaking of booze, I needs some more, I'll grab you guys something while I'm up there." Jared left his two amigos on the floor as he headed back to the bar to talk up the bartender and maybe snag a deal or two on his next beverage.

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

Magnus was thoroughly inebriated, the alcohol had taken effect and he felt calm. After a few more shots, he approached an attractive blue-haired girl(It's Pokemon. All colors can be natural here.) and asked to dance with her. He danced with her for a few minutes, and saw that Jared had more drinks for them.

*************

The assassin nocked an arrow, one with a pure white shaft and black fletchings, and pulled back on the string. He aimed carefully, accounting for the wind, and the angle, and set his sight on the girl.

"Say G'bye girl..." He said quietly to himself. "Nuffin' pers'nal, it's just business..."

The assassin released his grip on the bowstring, sending the arrow flying towards Aari.

*************

They say that when the person you love is in mortal danger, something clicks inside your brain, and you can feel their peril and feel the need to rush to their side. Magnus suddenly felt this, right as the assassin had nocked the arrow. He felt extremely worried, and talked to Jared and Alan.

"Guys... Something awful's going to happen." Magnus explained. "Something's going to happen to Aari. We have to hurry! Come on!"

"Woah, Magnus." Jared tried to calm Magnus. "I think you're just freaking out a bit. Calm down, and have another dri-"

"I'm fine! I don't know how... But something just feels... Dangerous. I can't explain it, I just know that something's going to happen. If you don't believe me, that's fine. You can stay here and drink."

**************

The arrow flew towards Aari, planting itself firmly in her torso, tearing shreds in her heart and lungs. Two screams were heard, Jeffrey's and Aari's, and seconds later... Aari fell to the ground. She was dead. Jeffrey stood there, dumbstruck and unable to speak, or even move.

"Alright kiddo... you're next." He nocked another arrow and aimed it at Jeffrey. As he released it, a beam of red light appeared from Jeffrey's belt as Lucario shattered the shaft of the arrow. The head lodged itself in Jeffrey's arm, and Lucario sped off, taking his trainer to safety.

*************

Magnus suddenly felt a lurching pain in his heart. He stopped running, and fell to his knees. Jared and Alan stopped to help him up, but he wouldn't move. Tears flowed from his eyes and down his cheeks as he sobbed and muttered silently.

[small]"...she's dead..."[/small]

"Magnus, are you okay? What's wrong?" Alan asked, worried.

"SHE'S DEAD!!!" Magnus screamed into the night, getting up and running towards where he felt Aari's presence leaving.

**************

"I had better get outta' here, soon. Else the Fuzz'll after me. Glix, come on!" The assassin unleashed a pokeball and a massive Gliscor emerged, taking it's trainer in its arms and flying away.

That bloody blue mongrel made me miss... He and his trainer are my next targets... and then, the rest of them.

...To be continued.

Spoiler: OOC

terribleyetfun, you can control your own character now, but he is arriving at a hospital, and will not be able to return to the scene, nor leave the hospital. Lucario won't let him leave. Have Jeffrey make a call to Rodney and the rest, if he's capable. After Jeff has made the call, anyone is free to respond. NeoAC, revolverwolf, you can do what you like, but Magnus is headed to Aari's body. Follow him if you like, or don't if you don't.

When Brandon got back to the hotel, he changed into his jeans and T-shirt. He walked outside and let out Jack and Rash. Both stretched after being stuck in their pokeballs for so long. "Alright you two, I'm letting you battle again on one condition. No ore arguing mid battle. If you want to fight each other at least make sure your alone." Again they glared at each other and after a minute both said fine.

"There that wasn't so bad now was it. Now c'mon let's go find us some one to battle." Brandon said as they walked towards the beach.

 

[terribleyetfun]

lucario carried jeffery as he rushed to the hospital arriving at it`s gates to be immediately greeted by three nurses and two doctors who put jeffery on a gurney and rushed him to a room bandaging his arm and prepping him to have the head removed the injured arm had to be elevated and immobilized but Jeffery's other arm was free jeffery lay there finally able to think about what happened.

"what the hell not another one and once again it`s my fault...I don`t think magnus will ever forgive me" jeffery thought as he laid there finally opening his eyes to see lucario sitting next to his bed.

"well I fucking knew I did`nt have the good luck to have you killed off" lucario said before smiling slightly.

"yeah looks like your out of luck" jeffery laughed before holding onto his chest and grimacing in pain he let out a sigh before asking lucario to get his phone lucario did as he was told and jeffery checked his speed dial for Rodney's number he found and typed up the following message.

"Rodney...some thing horrible has happened I`m currently in hospital with an arrowhead in my arm...Aari is....dead an assassin shot her with an arrow he would have got me too but lucario was able to save me and take me to hospital....forget about me I`l be going into surgery soon anyway, check the beach for Aari and if you find the assassin don`t kill him.... I assume magnus wants to do that"

 

[stormcaller]

Rodney had gotten back to the hospital and was relaxing on the bed preparing to go to sleep. Then his phone buzzed on the table next to him. Rodney leaned over and said to himself "Probably Magnus or Jared bragging about their night".

As he read the news his eyes widened and he froze up he threw on the first shirt and shorts he could then ran out the door. Once out the door he had a difficult choice to make.Go see if Jeffrey was ok or head to the beach where everybody else would obviously be. Rodney let out his Pokemon and told them to all head to the hospital Rodney thought to himself: A trained assassin never misses his mark more then once... Jeffrey's gonna need all the protection he can get. He told his Pokemon to relay that message to Lucario who would tell Jeffrey.

Rodney ran on towards the beach, getting there at the same time Magnus, Alan and Jared did. He simply looked at the body of what had once been a good friend of his for a moment, then turned away tears streaming. I...I can't imagine what Magnus is going through right now if I'm like this Rodney thought looking at his friend who stood there absolutely motionless, even as if he had stopped breathing.

******************************************************

Rodney's Pokemon ran through the door of the hospital, only to find they were not being let through unless they had a human with them.

Speedy spotted a Blissey at the desk and ran over and explained the situation " You've have to help us, big danger, big-big danger, like really big danger. Our trainers friend came in here a second ago with a arrowhead in his arm and we have to help if the dangerous man comes back or things will be bad, very, very bad." Somehow the Blissey managed to understand Speedy's Mile a minute rambling and went up to the doctors barring the door and translated to them.

The Pokemon ran into Jeffreys room and immediately began inspecting the place after telling Lucario what Rodney had told them. Slicer flew up a little bit and hovered around the room saying " Where is this man, I want to cut him up into little pieces!"

Chompers also said to Lucario " We needed to make sure you don't kill Jeffrey either" with a smirk on his face.

 

[terribleyetfun]

"aw you guys never let me have any fun" lucario replied with the same smirk on his face.

jeffery let out a low sigh "goddammit I specifically told Rodney to forget about me"jeffery said to himself still laying in his bed.

"oh and lucario get my belt and release charmeleon haunter and Abra,please but no funny business" jeffery asked laughing at the end of his sentence, motioning with his good arm to the pokeballs on his belt around his waist.

"ugh fine" lucario grabbed the pokeballs and threw them to the ground releasing the three pokemon lucario quickly explained what happened all three of them stared in shock at jeffery and then quickly turned back to lucario to hear the rest of the story.

"you know what I thought today I was gonna go down to the beach and have some fun then chill with friends and celebrate a birthday party,I then realized who I was and immediately forgot those plans" jeffery said to no one in particular.

 

[revolverwolf]

Spoiler: Timeline-ness

For sake of keeping time flowing the correct way, this post is going on at the same time as stormcaller's.

"Magnus!" Alan shouted after him to no avail. He'd only been with the group for the better part of two days and already one of them were dead. Will... will they blame me? Or Dani? We both just happened to join before Aari was killed... He decided that the only way for them to trust him would be to make sure that Magnus was still safe. The assassin could still be at the body, knowing that Magnus would show up. With that thought in mind, he ran after the trainer.

He arrived at the beach just as Rodney did. And he saw Magnus, the boy-turned-man who had been enjoying a party not even minutes ago, haunched over the lifeless remains of his love. A saddening thought to know that someone, somewhere close by, had caused this pain. He couldn't help but wonder how Magnus could ever deserve this.

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

The air rang with police sirens, as the police arrived at the scene. Someone had heard the screams and called the police, and they had arrived. Magnus knelt hunched over Aari's body, unable to speak, move, or think. All he could do was stare at the white arrow that protruded from her torso. As the police and medical personnel rushed out of their car, they approached the body. Magnus knew this would be his last moment with her, so he knelt down, and gave her one last kiss...

The police lieutenant that was called in, a Jenny, and another officer carried Magnus away from the body as they began to mark off the scene.

"Sorry, kid. But we have to do our job..." Jenny apologized. "I'm deeply sorry for your loss."

She looked at Jared, Alan, and Rodney for a moment.

"Rodney," She said to the boy, somehow knowing him. "You need to take care of your friend... He needs you guys."

"We will, Aunt Jenny." Rodney assured his aunt.

"Guys..." Magnus muttered softly. "We need to go back to the hotel."

"Actually, we should probably head to the hospital." Rodney explained. "Jeffrey was here when it happened, and would've been killed if not for Lucario."

"That's fine... You go." Magnus gave a hoarse cough and cleared his throat. "There's two people at the resort... People I know were behind this."

Magnus managed to get up and stand on his own, with his friends close by him.

"Alan... I'm really sorry that you've been dragged into this." Magnus apologized. "If you're lucky... You and Dani could leave, and never see us again. You'd be safe, then. But if you stay with us... You'll be hunted, and won't be able to rest easily until this is all over... The choice is yours."

 

[revolverwolf]

"You don't know what you're talking about Magnus. We've already been with you guys for too long. If we went off on our own now we'd just be isolated prey. I can't speak for Dani, but I'll keep with you guys if you let me."

It probably wasn't much to the boy but it would be enough to know that he wasn't on his own. "And if you think you know who did this, I'll help you deal with them." In truth he just didn't want to see Jeffery... He'd feel guilty. Finding someone to blame would help Magnus and himself for now.

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

"Thanks Alan... I truly appreciate this." Magnus thanked his new friend. "Jared, Rodney, one or both of you need to go protect Dani... She doesn't have any idea of what's going on, and if this killer has seen her with us, she's in danger."

"Right." Rodney and Jared said simultaneously.

"What are you going to do, Magnus?" Rodney asked.

"Well... I'm going to find Kristoph and Lucille. They're staying at the same resort we are... I know they're behind this. I'm going to find them, and they're going to tell me who this man is, and where I can find him."

"Who're Kristoph and Lucille?" Alan asked, not being fully aware of the group's past.

"I'll explain to you on the way there... Are we clear on what we need to do, guys?" Magnus asked, his blind ambition an attempt to mask his excruciating sadness, taking over his mind.

 

[Shapsters]

Dani sighed as she opened the mini-fridge in Magnus's apartment, there was a carton of orange juice and she filled a glass up and slowly drank it. She sat on the bed and turned the TV on, there was nothing of interest on so she flicked it off, she lay back and let her mind wander. Her eyes suddenly filled with tears and she quickly jumped off the bed to try and find something to do, occupy her mind.

Spoiler: Sorry

Not much of a post but I feel I should remind everyone where Dani is.

 

[NeoAC]

Jared was now a bit drunk from all the beverages consumed before the break neck run to the hospital, but he still had some thoughts going on in his head. "Mag! Mag, buddy, man, guy! Wait.....wait right there one sec. I was thinking something. Now, we knows Kristy and Lucy, and we knows, they like to be right in front of us, parading around, being all stupid and stuff. And I was thinking, if they....if they was gonna kill one of us, especily someone like Jeff. Don you....Don you think they would have done it in the same room? I mean an arrow? HAHAHAHAHA! An arrow?!? That just doesn't seem like them. I would have done it with a chainsaw! Brumm brumm! But yeah, no, this don't sound like them at all man, not at all! This sounds like someone else man, someone sneaky like. I got it! Ted Nugent! We gotta go find Ted Nugent!"

Magnus just looked at him and shook his head. "Jared, I think you've had too much to drink. Now are you able to help us take down Kristoph and Lucille or are you gonna stay here?"

"I'm coming, just let me boost my buzz up!" Jared grabbed a can of Red Tauros out of the vending machine and poured a bit of the bottle of Jagermeister he had charmed of the bartender into it. He quickly downed it in one chug, tossed the crumpled can aside and shouted "LET'S GET IT ON!"
