Run From Fate: An Escape RP (Accepting Escapees, Started)

[drmigit2]

"Yes, very important. He is an unbeatable monstrosity, that kills for practically no reason at all. He killed my parents, and they were very strong. I wouldn't even attempt to fight it, you're better off getting out of here, now,"

Some weird human was talking too. Fromanzio was curious if any regular humans existed in this world, very possible that was the case. He once had gone to a world of only oranges. Why were oranges so stuck on his mind? Does the Dark One like oranges? If so, Fromanzio might be able to strike a deal. Assuming he also likes orange juice.

"Fromanzio just got here though! Oh bother, fine. He will find another place to send his oranges. Where are we going?"

Sieran smiled when Juda left her alone to work, and she got right to it. It would take quite some time to repair it, and even then it would be hard when a couple of items were broken beyond repair. Hopefully this planet wasn't deserted, since that would mean further problems. She wouldn't be able to get what she needed if they were undeveloped either.

Sieran's thoughts were interrupted, as she didn't get left alone for as long as she would have wanted.

"Sieran, there's a scouting party. Four, all armed. Headed here. We need to go."

She got back up on her feet, and noticed how her pants were bloody, from crouching in the blood on the floor of the ship. Sieran shrugged, and turned to Juda.

"Cherry! We can ask them if they have any Quantum positronic energy capacitor, or Hyperdyne Tee Shunts to sell." She said, and looked through her pockets to see if she had anything to barter with.

Juda glanced back when his sister looked at him, then promptly said something about some capacitor, and shunts. The fact that she seemed excited, and not the least bit worried about the newcomers being armed, made him wonder if what he told her actually sunk in. Looking between her, and the mangled remains of the shuttle, he had to shake his head.

"Sieran, the shuttle is a dead loss. And I doubt they want to sell anything. Get your things, we need to go. They didn't look friendly.", he said mildly, but his tone was firm.

Using his free hand, he set down his pack and opened it so that she could start stuffing her tools inside, before promptly turning to keep an eye on the foliage behind them. The four armed scouts were sure to burst out at any moment, and he was planning on being ready when they did, if they did.

Normally, he would have assumed the locals were friendly until proven otherwise, but the fact that they were armed changed things. Better to not take chances, especially since he had to look after his sister Sieran. He supposed it was good that she didn't seem overly worried, but at the very least, she should have shown at least some concern. The fact that she didn't concerned him.

 

[James Galek]

I'm enjoying the premise of this idea but I've got work in the morning so I don't have time to think about this at the minute. Gotta get to sleep ASAP. A quick question before I get too excited though, are you still accepting applicants? May I jump straight in when I provide a satisfactory character sheet or would I need to build up some credibility on the forums first to prove I'm not a troll? >_>

I'm no stranger to roleplaying nor this site. I've only just realised it has roleplay threads on the forums is all! =D

 

[BeerTent]

The large Reptile finally found a suitable location to climb, getting up onto a second story Balcony, he started to think.

There was a reason why it was deemed to be a god. This creature had gone through and cleared the entire Firebase. Only a handful of enemy survivors could be tested afterward, but they all had the same story. The great Battle-master, Tanith, his age catching up stood no chance against this One. He has been his army's primary staple for over a century. With all of his chemicals, his imbalances, his might and intelligence... What chance did he have? Even with Tanith getting taken by surprise, there had to of been well over 200 solders in that base. Someone had to land a shot.

Rykar got on top of the stone balcony, he looked and noticed that there was some movement on the other side of the door. The, Jester, had gotten the warning and was not looking to leave the area as well. Rykar's bait was gone, or would be very soon. He had one shot, to take on a creature that had stopped an army, and ended a legend. "Mom! There's someone on the deck!!"

Rykar scrapped the idea. He was the stupid one, hoping to snipe and kill a god. He jumped off the balcony, landing the drop with ease. He was sure he felt Adrenaline as he ran down the road. He did not want to meet this creature head on. Time to get out.

 

[RandomMan01]

Kesin was inwardly kicking himself. Why had he decided to warn these people? For all he knew, they were spies for The One, keeping an eye on Kesin until it could reach him. Yet...for some reason he couldn't fathom, Kesin trusted these people. These people he had known for only a few seconds. At that moment, however, his thoughts were interrupted by the jester interjecting his own thoughts.

"Fromanzio just got here though! Oh bother, fine. He will find another place to send his oranges. Where are we going?"

This caught Kesin off guard. Not only was he busy questioning why something would want to send a color to a planet that already had that color, but he also hadn't really thought of a place to go. He never figured The One would show up. Unfortunately, Kesin only really had knowledge of the ocean, and that wouldn't help these people if they were not water-breathers. Kesin's face turned beet red as he stammered for a response.

"I-" Kesin began, ready to admit he didn't know, before the strange looking woman interceded.

"Well then let's get out of here. The forests get dense quickly so it's good cover and if you know your way around these parts there's a lot you can do to cover your tracks. Barely have to go a few miles in places and no one'll find you."

Thank goodness, she knows the land

"Yes, that's a good idea" he said, she sounded confident in her abilities, and he wasn't in any position to argue, "Is it alright if I come with you?"

 

[lionrwal]

Kara sat back thinking, deciding if she should take her chances with what the others are calling The One, or whether she should avoid a fight. She decided to play it safe and follow the rest away from this place. If The One is really as powerful as the others say it is, then she was better off staying away from it.

 

[Nomad of the Stars]

"...Hm."

The A.I. continued to stare at the girl, its optics remaining fixed on her for quite some time, saying nothing. What was with this girl? She was indeed a very peculiar being, at least next to what it had observed before. It was not common to act like she did, even if she was intrigued by its presence... Though The A.I. knew its knowledge of other beings was very limited, it had only observed so much itself and information stored within it was only useful to a certain degree. Still...

"If you so desire."

The A.I. turned its body and headed further into the town at a reasonable pace, what it had observed to be the typical walking speed of most beings, before its head turned to face the girl. The A.I. wouldn't have done that, but it remembered that facing another when talking to them was considering... Polite? It believed that to be the term, at least.

"... What is your name?"

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

"Sieran, the shuttle is a dead loss. And I doubt they want to sell anything. Get your things, we need to go. They didn't look friendly."

Her brother insisted that they should leave, even though they hadn't even talked with the locals yet. She didn't want to leave the shuttle either, as Sass hadn't been given a proper funeral yet. They could still scavenge materials from the ship to use, if they needed to flee. There was plenty of parts which could be removed, and used in other ways.

"I don't want to leave." She shook her head. "Sass is still stuck in the shuttle, and we don't know if there's any other way of this planet. We could be stuck her forever if we just surrender it. They may be armed, but how much further has their technology advanced?!"

 

[Texas Joker 52]

\ \Juda/ /​

When Sieran told him that she didn't want to leave, and why, he had to turn and look at her. While getting off of the planet was indeed a priority, he felt that survival was higher on that list. After all, what good was having the parts to make or repair a ship if you ended up dying before you could use them? As for the natives tech level, even primitive bullets killed.

As for her friend... As much as he would like to have gotten her out of the wreckage and properly buried if nothing else, time was of the essence. Not only that, but as practical as he was, he doubted that Sass would mind very much, having already died.

It was after a moment that he inwardly cursed while outwardly shaking his head as he walked over and closed his bag, then slung it over his shoulder. The fact that his sister was akin to an immovable object when she made up her mind about anything, was troublesome.

"Fine. We'll stay. Just be ready to fight if it comes to it.", he told her flatly, his tone tinged with exasperation.

He wished that, just once, his siblings would actually listen to his warnings.

 

[mcpop9]

Luna followed the Large Robot into town, keeping pace comfortably with the larger machine. She couldn't explain why she was drawn to this mechanical creation, but it really didn't matter to her. A bar maid was something she was capable of doing with ease, but it wasn't something she enjoyed doing too much. The android girl was lost in thought when he asked for her name.
"Oh... uh... sorry. Thinking of things. My name is Luna, may i ask what's your's?" she asked the robot.

 

[UnusualStranger]

The One continued his march, the town slowly but surely coming into view across the water, which did nothing to slow the being down. It glided across the water as if it were skating upon ice. Not that it really mattered, as The One didn't care about appearance, only the proper functionality to carry out what needed to be done. The town was slowly coming into view, and then The One stepped upon the dry land once more, and surveyed the surroundings.

Unless the arrivals or creatures had decided to take a boat or other form of transportation, sweeping the island would not be too difficult. The town, as usual, would be the most difficult to sift through with there being a reasonable amount of populace still there, with locked doors and weapons loaded. A ultimately futile effort against him, but then it was not really him that they were going to have to fear. Multitudes were not seeking escape, thus it was not his concern to ultimately do them any harm unless they tried to oppose his path.

As The One approached, the body formed into a large silver creature, with no defining features, it was simply a seven foot tall silver humanoid figure, giving off nothing more than shape as it began its approach.

[hr]

"OI! You down there? You folks alright?" A shout was heard by both Juda and Sieran, and it had apparently come from the red devil looking individual, who was already making his way down with the other individuals, their weapons still out and prepared as they did so.

All still seemed quite shifty, especially with their weapons, two being laser rifles and one being an ordinary pistol, along with the devil having some sort of arm mounted beam weapon. It was somewhat more obvious that the talking was left to the red one.

"This ain't a place to stay. Especially with all the other strange...happenins around here. Not very safe, and not very smart."

 

[Texas Joker 52]

\ \Juda/ /​

"OI! You down there? You folks alright?".

Juda turned to face the voice, which had come from one of the four armed scouts, though he wasn't sure which one. As they made their way out of the foliage and into the open, he kept his guard up even though he stood a little straighter and lowered his Crab Claw just slightly. His eyes did widen just slightly in surprise, however.

He didn't think that he would be able to understand the native tongue, but that apparently wasn't a problem. That, along with the fact that they weren't automatically attacking put him on edge, and piqued his curiosity.

"This ain't a place to stay. Especially with all the other strange... happenins around here. Not very safe, and not very smart.".

He nodded once. "You're right, but we aren't from here. Any reason why you're armed?", he asked easily, motioning towards their weapons with his organic hand.

"We don't mean to cause trouble or any harm.", he added after another moment.

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

"OI! You down there? You folks alright?"

Sieran turned in the direction of the voice, and saw that the source was a red individual, but he wasn't alone. They had weapons which appeared advanced, but she wasn't an expert on weapons. She assumed that they weren't much compared to the soldiers of the Tarsonis. However, it did give her hope that they might have tech that could help them get off this planet.

"Yes, we are fine." She answered him.

"This ain't a place to stay. Especially with all the other strange...happenins around here. Not very safe, and not very smart."

Sieran nodded, and let her brother talk first. "Why is it not safe to stay here?" She asked, after he was done stating the obvious and asking pointless questions. "We can take care of ourselves."

 

[UnusualStranger]

The red man looked at the pair for a moment, seeming somewhat surprised at the question as to why they were armed in the first place. Exchanging a look with his comrades, who spread out to look around for a bit, the man spoke again.

"Well, I don't know about you peace loving folks, but I imagine that isn't smart to NOT be armed in the first place." He almost seemed to take a tone as if explaining things to children, only to quickly become grim at the prospect of it not being safe to stay there.

"And it isn't safe because this is a ship. And if this IS a ship, that means The One is coming, and he doesn't much care for ships, especially if they could be brought back to functioning. And he also doesn't look kindly on those who know how to build a ship, making it a very bad idea to stick around one..."

Suddenly, one of the men started waving, and said something in an odd set of clicks and moans. The red man nodded, and then the group seemed to start looking over the ship almost immediately.

"Now, grab whatever you damned well can. The One is apparently ALREADY on the damned island. Bastard moves faster every time, I'm sure."

[hr]

As The One made its way into the town, it detected an odd set of signatures, and knew to quickly go and examine the problematic source within the town. As it made its way towards the source, it quickly noted where it came from. A pair of individuals, one clearly robotic and the other less so, were going along the street. The One approached the pair, and stopped in front of them.

"You. What is your primary function?" The One asked the A.I., and without waiting for a response turned to the maid looking Luna. "And you, what is your function here in the streets?"

 

[Texas Joker 52]

\ \Juda/ /​

Juda listened carefully as the red one out of the bunch explained what was going on, namely that the planet was hostile, particularly due to someone, or something called The One, who seemed to particularly dislike ships, be they damaged, functioning, or in the progress of being constructed. Apparently, being unarmed on this planet, whatever it was called, was a very bad idea as well.

His thoughts were promptly interrupted when another said something in some indiscernible language.

"Now, grab whatever you damned well can. The One is apparently ALREADY on the damned island. Bastard moves faster every time, I'm sure.".

His eyes narrowed a little as he glanced back at his sister, and the ship. Staying there was no longer an option, if the locals were to be believed. Even if this 'One' was something they made up, being out in the open was a bad idea regardless, particularly around something that drew attention, like a crashed shuttle. As it was, it looked like a dead loss to him, though he was hardly an engineer.

After a moment, he looked back at the scouting party and grunted softly. As it was, the situation was far from ideal. They didn't know the locals, or the land, and there was nothing yet to really indicate that the scouts were trustworthy. But there were four of them compared to him and Sieran, and while they could possibly fight them off, he didn't like the odds. For the moment, they would have to make do, and go with them.

"Wasn't planning on staying much longer. Lets go, Sieran.", he told her firmly, flashing her a look that said that he wasn't in any mood to argue.

If need be, he could always pick her up and drag her to safety kicking and screaming. She may be wily, but he had the strength to do it if necessary.

 

[RandomMan01]

Kesin had followed the golden-looking girl towards the forest, as had the human. For the time being, he had stayed behind the girl, as he didn't know about these so-called, "forests".

Arriving at the edge of the forest, Kesin took the girl's pause as a chance to look around. The forest was, different. The foliage stood many feet in the air, and everything was green. Not a green like seaweed, or his hair, but a lighter green. An inviting green. Still, this was not the ocean, and Kesin wished for the day he could return to his underwater home, but as long as The One was still around, that was not an option.

Kesin was so distracted, he almost didn't notice his guide strip down and run into a bush. Almost being the operative term. As she flung aside the cocktail dress, he felt his face suddenly go crimson. After a few moments in the bush, the girl returned, wearing a gown of leaves that made it almost impossible to see her.

"Try to keep up."

Kesin nodded and followed her. He debated trying to do that himself, but convinced himself that it probably wouldn't work out right. For the time being, he'd stick to running away.

 

[drmigit2]

"Try to keep up."

Fromanzio watched her change clothes with a disinterested look. She wasn't nearly as powerful as him and that would mean there is only one worthy fight on the entire plane. He would have to fight and kill The One. He sounded powerful, almost impossible to beat, but Fromanzio knew that nobody exists without weakness. Ascended magi could rip the plane in half, but a sword with enough hate behind it could sunder any defense made by one. Now wasn't the time to pick a fight though, Fromanzio figured he should disguise himself as well and decided to change his form.

"Fromanzio can do that too! Watch!"

Fromanzio's body began absorbing the light around it, slowly shrinking into the shape of a jungle cat. Perfectly designed to hide in the forest and never be seen until the time to strike was right. The One would be just like the oranges at some point. Some day, he would be drinking One Juice and it would taste...onederful.
