The Darkest Corners: A Modern Fantasy RP (Interest Thread - Closed)

[Lunar Templar]

Lucia had begrudgingly gotten in line behind Zaheer and started jotting down the plane trip, in Draconic, since all she knew of English writing was her name far as writing goes.

After that she waited for her turn with the 'magic stick'

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Clarkson took back the clipboard back from Lucia, angry she didn't write in English, but that now wasn't the main reason he her in this van.

"As your surely aware," Clarkson started, "The Lich who took over the body of the dropploganger is both powerful and dangerous. Attempts to take i- her out with our normals means has... failed miserably. We decided to... outsource a bit, for some help. My... our... MI6 would be willing to help your umm... training, or reopening diplomatic relations with your people. If you want anything else, you just need to ask, I am willing to negotiate."

Clarkson rubbed the bridge of his nose, he hated dealing with people and that was just awkward.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Lucia quirked an eyebrow at Clarkson's back pedaling. "What makes you think I care about gaining 'more power'? I have enough control over my magics that I'm not going to blow something up unless I want a hole where what ever pissed me off was" she said as she crossed her arms and leaned back "As for diplomatic relations, Queen T'mat has already dispatch ambassadors to several country. This is why The Inquisition is on Earth, keeping dragons like me in line and dealing with the 'heretical' dragons that cause trouble now and then"

Lucia sighed "Look, I don't get off Jade much, so I'm effectively on vacation, and its not like I'm not willing to help" motioning to the dents and claw marks in the jetliners hull "But there's nothing your offering that, 1)I want, or 2)Isn't already in the works as we speak. Hell, we're doing you all a bigger favor by coming back and reigning in the potently violent dragons that stayed behind, for what ever brain dead reason they stayed was"

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

"#@%it," Clarkson thought, as his mind raced, trying to find SOMETHING that would be more convincing, "Wait did she say vacation?

"Your on vacation?" Clarkson asked, "Well, we could make things a lot easy for you traveling. I don't imagine it is easy for you to get an approved passport for many countries, nor have much of a budget to go on. Your budget must also must be very limited if your flying with those guys. We can make your passport problems disappear, you will be able to fly to any nation on the world without a hitch, on great airlines in first class, staying in nice hotels and being able to visit the most historic of locations. Or, you can continue to catch rides on third rate airlines with cement seats, and try to sneak into countries to nervous to allow a dragon through their borders, your choice."

 

[Lunar Templar]

Lucia shrugged "I picked Delta cause it was the first to catch my eye, and the only reason I decided to fly on a jetliner over flying my self, is they didn't exist last time I was on Earth, and it seemed like a good idea."she said, annoyed about what happened on the flight "This kinda stuff isn't normal right? I just picked the wrong flight?"

"But yes, Jade, pretty as it is, gets boring, and above all annoying. Every one on me about how I'm not 'acting like a proper Platinum" She grumbled while she thought about his offer. Money wasn't a problem for her, might not be a high priority for what she collects but she was extremely well off, not that he needed to know that. It was the other bit that had her more interest, having to stop and explain what a Platinum Dragon was ever time she went to cross a border was tiresome at best, but there was the other end of this as well, her helping would improve human/dragon relations a bit between Earth and Jade.

"I have one question for you before I give my answer; why are you so keen on enlisting my aid specifically?"

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Clarkson inwardly smiled, he knew he got her.

"If that happens every time we fly, do you think humanity would ever get near a plane? No, you and everybody else on that piece of scrap just got extremely unlucky. Now, as for your question. We are dealing with a Lich that has enough power to self destruct via a proxy powerful enough to almost take out a passenger over a quarter of a mile away. We need all the help we can get. A giant badass dragon seamed like a good start. We also want people who are wiling to listen and help, unlike some of the other people on that plane who want to hunt the She Lich. The only thing worse than a mad undead mage running rampant in a city is a mad undead mage having a giant fight in the middle of a city."

 

[Kasten]

On John's PDA, a text came back labled "Roman-File"

-"The Roman" is a prominent Ascended Wizard, one of the three in the highest class of their society.

Sightings go back to before the Roman Empire, however, they were the only ones to ascertain any details about the being before their fall, so within the Wizarding Cabals, subject was named after the first empire to have a name for him at all, even if it was lost.

RELATIONS: The Roman has in the past [REDACTED] helped the PIA, such as with -------------------[REDACTED]--------------

ROLE/OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES: The Roman occupies a position in the Ascended society something like a Commander And Chief of their forces, or representative of them into the mortal world when necessary. Outside of these duties, subject is known to visit the mortal world frequently, seemingly under his own volition. He has spontaneously helped agents with missions when contacted, however he has also refused before. Any contact or sighting of him should be reported to your nearest in rank maximum clearance superior-or the Board of Directors should the opportunity present itself. Evidence of your report, shall be a specialty coin he gives as a card of sorts. Losing this coin is not an issue, it has displayed the ability to reappear in the pocket of the one it was intended for, even over great distance or obstruction.

ABILITY: Unknown, suspected to be the most skilled and knowledgeable Ascended in battle or strategy, has shown genius level intellect, and evaded special agents and an entire nation's infrastructure without using his powers before.

GENERAL APPEARANCE GUIDELINES: He generally wears a roman cloak, however his other clothing seems variant on his mood.

[Lunar Templar]

Lucia nodded her expression shifting to a more 'business' look "Then, as a Platinum of Jade and for the sake of improved relations between our races I accept your plea for aid in catching or killing this Litch woman"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John's phone lit up again with a text message, this one labeled 'Iquisition/T'mat'

The dragon law agency know as 'The Inquisition' functions as Jade's FBI and CIA agency's and have come to Earth as part of a diplomatic mission bring the dragons whom remained on earth back into the fold, or silence them if they continue to pose a threat, as well as keep watch over the dragons from Jade to make sure they do not cause any trouble that would reflect poorly on Jade it self.

Relations; The Inquisition has helped clear several dragon related incidents quickly and quietly with little to no injury it all party's involved. If an agent(s) is encountered, they are to be considered 'friendly' and you are encourage to co-operate.

Forces/Ability's; Combat wise they rely mainly on the Dragon Magics that dragon kind are know for, and each Agent has displayed an 'Arch-Mage' level of skill in it's use and only use their dragon forms when absolutely necessary. The do not discriminate against broods, we have confirmed Iron, Copper, Gold, Platinum and a new brood exclusive to Jade, Bronze, among the ranks. Silver Dragons are by and large regarded as a 'traitor brood'. They have also embraced non magic means of surveillance and communication as per order of 'Queen T'mat' who is believed to be the head of The Inquisition.

Punishment Methods; Dragons found guilty of crime's against the beings of Earth face Death at the maximum, confinement for lesser crimes, and a much rarer punishment of stripping a subject of their prized dragon form and magics, leaving them in a state similar to humans with no magic aptitude. Death seems to be reserved for the most unrepentant of the crimes committed (*link here to the file on the Sliver slain a year ago*), while the striping of power and form is reserved for more 'making a statement'.

Appearance; They dress in black suits similar to most agency's with the Royal Crest of Jade and the 'I' of the Inquisition embroidered on the the breast pocket.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

T'mat

Information is limited due to Jade's borders largely being closed to non political personnel. What is know is that T'mat is a female Platinum Dragon, age is unknown however she is regarded as 'the oldest and strongest of the Platinums'. It's was her idea to have Jade created to avoid what she belied would be a war that would cripple or utterly destroy dragon kind on the whole, and if they dwindling Silver population is any indication she was correct in this assumption. She also appears to be forward thinking, if The Inquisition's embracing of technology is any indication.

If encountered treat with politeness and respect.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Clarkson smiled, "Thank you ma'am, we will contact you and give you any further instructions, the only thing left is that we need you to take this amulet..."

Clarkson dropped a Ruin of Forced Transformation, realizing to late he just handed it to a dragon in a tiny van. Clarkson threw open the door and dived out of the car.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Lucia did change back to her Dragon self, obliterating the van in the process with a side panel bouncing off and over the already damaged aircraft, much to the dismay of the people still inside, while the other side panel flew harmlessly down the runway before skidding to a halt. she pulled the vans roof off her back, set it down and gave agent Clarkson a sigh of disapproval, before reverting to her human form.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

"Great," John thought, putting his phone away, "Dealing with multiple departments, why don't we standardize the @#%&ing infromation format?"

John looked up to see Clarkson dive out of the van before it exploded as Lucia transformed. John watched some of the other military personal either dive for cover, or ready their weapons. Clarkson had the look his superiors told John he had whenever the technomage knew he screwed up, and John started laughing.

A MI6 agent who was visibly @#$^ing his pants slowly walked up to Lucia, holding out her bags with shaking legs.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"Thank you for flying Delta airlines. We hope you enjoy your stay in London, or where ever your final destination is, and fly with us again." An automatic announcement said in a female sounding voice with a characteristically optimistic tone, blissfully unaware of what had transpired over the last few hours. Seras had effectively stopped caring at this point, with the start hers and Theon's around the world trip turning into a complete disaster, she felt like screaming at everyone that was still in the plane; but even then that wouldn't help, it would no doubt make things worse.

"Attention all passengers. We are going to need everyone in rows 12-14 to come with an officer to one of the set up vans outside the plane and give a brief explanation of everything related to the murder you saw or heard. You bags and belongings will be given back to you as soon as your done, and you can go on your merry way. All passengers will have to go through a quick test to make sure none of you are another doppelgänger before allowed to go to luggage department and pick up your luggage." Another voice, this time sounding more masculine then spoke over the intercom, which caused Seras to breather a sigh of annoyance.

"Great, a police questioning, how can things possibly get any..." Seras began to say to herself, before being interrupted by what sounded like a loud bang. Looking out of the port side window, Seras could see that the dragon woman had suddenly changed into her other self, destroying the van in an instant, sending pieces of it in all directions, and seeing a man down on the floor.

After it had happened, Seras stood up out of her seat, making her way for the door. Dominic, Nicole and Katie all saw where she was going and decided now would be the best time to get this whole mess sorted out. Before she reached the exit, Seras stopped by Theon, who hands were still transformed.

"Come on, let us be leaving this plane Theon, and answer whatever questions these people wish to ask. After that, we'll just leave this place and actually start our holiday; I'll forget this happened for the most part, pretend it was like a bad dream. But first however, you should probably change your hands back to actual hands, don't want to spook these people any more than they already are." Seras said in a more mature tone, bearing a smile that hopefully would make things feel better.

 

[Floris2123]

Theon just stood there as John jumped of the table and left. His vision began to blur and his mind was filled with pain. Whatever was inside the damaged cage tried to break open. Theon opened his eyes several minutes later, he had finally manged to suppress whatever was inside the cage. "Thank you for flying Delta airlines. We hope you enjoy your stay in London, or where ever your final destination is, and fly with us again." Theon simple stared at the walls of the plane, unsure of what to do. He had seen his first trip with Seras, turn into one of the worst experiences of his live. He really wanted to punch whoever was responsible. But most of all he just wanted to grab Seras, and get out of the plane.

"Attention all passengers.....All passengers will have to go through a quick test to make sure none of you are another doppelgänger before allowed to go to luggage department and pick up your luggage." A male voice said over the intercom. "RRRRRAAAAAGGGGHHHHH" Theon had to use all of his self restraint, not to turn into a werewolf and start attacking people. Why couldn't they just be left alone?! Suddenly there was was a loud bang outside of the plane. Theon ignored it as he was still trying to restrain himself.

Theon didn't even notice that his hands were still transformed. "Come on, let us be leaving this plane Theon....don't want to spook these people any more than they already are." He turned around to see Seras. Her voice calmed him down, his hands changed back and he simple sighed. Theon grabbed Seras hand and he smiled at her "That sounds like a good plan Seras. And I am very happy to see that you, and your family are all unharmed." Theon said with a smile looking at her, and her family members. He then started walking towards the door, hoping to finally leave this day behind him.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"That sounds like a good plan Seras. And I am very happy to see that you, and your family are all unharmed." Theon said with a smile as he grabbed Seras's hand for a brief moment, before making his way towards the door.

"And we are glad that you managed to get to the end of this plane journey relatively unharmed as well Theon." Nicole said as she held Katie's hand. She then looked at Dominic with an expression that read 'Go on, say something then.' After taking a moment to realise this, Dominic soon spoke.

"Indeed, from what I've seen on this part of your journey, you've shown to be a caring person. I can see that my dear Seras will be in good hands with you. May the rest of your trip be more fortuitous towards you two, than the beginning has been. In any case, we'd best proceed to whoever is asking these questions, and get this business sorted. No doubt you don't want to linger here any longer than is necessary, given all that has occurred." Dominic remarked, agreeing with the general feeling of what had happened. The group soon departed from the plane and into the light breeze of the morning. They saw what remained of the van that was destroyed in Lucia's transformation, suffice to say that it was in worse state than the plane, if something like that was possible given the circumstances.

"Hello, someone on the intercom told us that we had to report to people situated at the vans, and provide explanations to officers of what had transpired on board. I presume that wasn't the only one you brought along with you." Seras said, pointing out the wreck that was nearby.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

"Hello, someone on the intercom told us that we had to report to people situated at the vans, and provide explanations to officers of what had transpired on board. I presume that wasn't the only one you brought along with you."

Clarkson looked from the wreck, wondering if his superiors had enough pull in the afterlife to make sure Clarkson punishment didn't end after his superiors kill him, and looked at Sera.

"Yes, bring in the other one," Clarkson said, waving to another van to pull forward before getting in, "Young lady, you first."

"Now, please just fill out this forms," Clarkson said, "Also, if you can please note your species. We do not a repeat of... what just happened."

"As you most likely aware," Clarkson said as soon as he handed Sera the clipboard, "The female Lich is both powerful and dangerous. We have decided to seek... unorthodox help to deal with Her. Is there anything we can give you that would get your help?"

 

[Lunar Templar]

Lucia rolled her eyes at the people freaking out and took her bags back, then decided to wait and see what Pegs was up to before taking off to find a hotel and get some rest

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"Yes, bring in the other one." Clarkson said, waving in another van forward before getting into it. "Young lady, you first." He then added, indicating Seras who soon climbed in. Soon after the officer began handing a series of forms on a clipboard.

"Now, please just fill out this forms. Also, if you can please note your species. We do not a repeat of... what just happened."

"You mean you do not wish for a repeat of a Platinum Dragon transforming before your very eyes. I bet it was a sight to behold, from what I could see, she looked rather majestic and beautiful." Seras remarked with a smirk whilst filling out the form, remembering to add Dhampir to the species list and adding a side note as to what specifically that was.

"As you most likely aware, the female Lich is both powerful and dangerous. We have decided to seek... unorthodox help to deal with Her. Is there anything we can give you that would get your help?" Clarkson asked as Seras handed the clipboard back to him with a disapproving sigh.

"Why do you think we would want to help?" Seras asked, still sounding like she didn't care.

 

[Cybele]

From his vantage point, Roland could see Lucia transform and tear the van into pieces. Another fight? No, didn't look like it. The dragon transformed back, another van was driven up, and one of the vampires went in.

Damn it, but he couldn't hear a thing and he needed to know what was going on. All right, maybe not needed but the curiosity was killing him. No one had seemed to notice him earlier when he had flown on top of the roof so maybe no one knew to look out for a bird? Hoping that this was the case, Roland slowly made his way back to the plane until he was sitting on top of the van with Clarkson and Seras inside.

 

[Floris2123]

"And we are glad that you managed to get to the end of this plane journey relatively unharmed as well Theon." Nicole said holding Katie's hand, Theon stopped and turned around smiling at her family. "Indeed, from what I've seen on this part of your journey, you've shown to be a caring person....No doubt you don't want to linger here any longer than is necessary, given all that has occurred," Dominic said. He nodded and smiled once more and then began walking. Theon noticed a destroyed van, he guessed that was the explosion from earlier.

"Hello, someone on the intercom told us that we had to report to people situated at the vans, and provide explanations to officers of what had transpired on board. I presume that wasn't the only one you brought along with you." Seras said, pointing out the wreck that was nearby. Theon grinned this police officers or FBI or whatever they were called, were about as capable as John it seemed. "Yes, bring in the other one." A man said waving at them. "Young lady, you first." He then added pointing at Seras. Theon looked at the man, he was watching him very carefully. Theon altered his right ear, making it much more powerful. So he could listen to what happened inside the van.

"Now, please just fill out this forms. Also, if you can please note your species. We do not a repeat of... what just happened," The man said. Seras responded with, "You mean you do not wish for a repeat of a Platinum Dragon transforming before your very eyes. I bet it was a sight to behold, from what I could see, she looked rather majestic and beautiful." Theon smiled, amused.

"As you most likely aware, the female Lich is both powerful and dangerous. We have decided to seek... unorthodox help to deal with Her. Is there anything we can give you that would get your help?" The man asked Seras. Theon softly let out a low growl. He just wanted to leave here, and now the oh so capable police wanted to recruit them? They wanted to recruit civilians? What a joke. "Why do you think we would want to help?" Seras asked sounding like she didn't care. Theon smirked he was happy to see that Seras wasn't interested. The bird from earlier flew onto the roof of the van, Theon looked straight at him with cold eyes.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

John finally pulled himself together, only to see Lucia rolling her eyes and the transforming boyfriend listening to Clarkson's car. John saw one of guards raise his rifles, he grabbed the MI6 on the shoulder and shook his head. John thinks he saw Theo... Theo... Theon! transform into living metal, and the... werewolf? looked kind of pissed right now.

Clarkson saw Sera write down "Dhampir." He thought he saw a man laying on the sunscreen abnormally thick.

"Well, because this Lich is a menace," Clarkson said, "She is somewhere in this nation, able to make a blast comparable in area to a small nuclear weapon, via proxy possibly in this city. If she is cornered and decides to blow off half the island."

"Why should you personally deal with it?" Clarkson started, "Well, you don't know what we offer. Anything from the nicest hotels and tickets on much better airlines throughout Europe to a constant supply of good blood."

"We can give you and your family access to blood banks," Clarkson said, "A legal and safe way to get human blood."
