The Escapist Avatar Adventure: An Open RP (Now Re-Opened!)

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David

David looked over his shoulder and said "Those weren't senators, they were International Leaders...Dipshit..."
He kept shaking off blood off his hand, clearly grossed out, while he was no stranger to bloodshed, he never wanted to bathe in it.

 

[Sithmorack]

Shadow

"Senators world leader they could be aliens for all i care! They were expendable.... each respective country can choose a new leader and move on. If not then they are not a very good country" Shadow replied casually as he leaned back. Just then his chair broke and he fell on his back.

"Damn shitty chairs.. American standards...." he muttered as he got another chair. "Stop beating yourself over it.. Everyone makes mistakes, if you keep blaming yourself your just going to end up being a liability to the "team". "

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David

"Liability!? Is that what you see me as!? Mr. Fucking Super Soldier!?" David shot back, clearly Shadow had hit a raw nerve.
"I mean, I fucking do what I can out there! No Super Human Strength! No Magic Tricks! Just me and a Gun against Demi-Gods and other assorted assholes!" He said as he kicked a dead body in frustration.
"Just all I fucking do and yet some bastard can just waltz in and get the job done in less then a minute! I mean, where the fuck were all of you!? Huh?!"

 

[Sithmorack]

Shadow

"I was shooting things. No one ever said you were useless. And no we don't just waltz in here and get the job done. You killed more soldiers than me. Besides if you don't like the fact that you don't have "powers" then change it.... I did...."

Shadow retorted clearly not affected by anything David had just said.

 

[Sithmorack]

All

 

[Sithmorack]

Ignore

 

[Sithmorack]

These

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David

David was about to rant and rave some more, but Shadow had a point, why couldn't he?
"...And....Where would I go about getting this kind of performance enhancer?..." He asked, clearly intrigued by his offer.

 

[Sithmorack]

Shadow

"We'll in my blood is a prototype virus that enhances reflexes strength and speed.... BUT oh have to take a certain how should I put it... another sirum that keeps the virus from completely destroying your body. I suppose we could make another injection from my blood...

If you don't like that option you could ask some of the other "heroes to help you i guess..." Shadow explained as he leaned back in his chair.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David

"Why do I feel like I'm talking to a Drug Dealer?..." David mused as he talked with Shadow.
"....Well....I guess that could work...Just I ain't getting any side effects from it, am I? I mean, I take your shit and start pissing blood, I'm coming after you..." He threatened as he thought of being able to zoom around as fast as half of these.

 

[Sithmorack]

"We'll sort this out once we get to the rising dawn then" Shadow said as he stood up and went to find his sniper.

 

[bluecrimson]

Rugal, Teri, Slindis, Garm, Lupito

After Pint smashed the button, he was suddenly grabbed by the Drow fading back into the substantial world. [color=c20000]"Do you realize what you've done? Millions of people, including your own men and those you're sworn to defend will be killed, and for what? Your delusions of being the hero?"[/color] The man tried to escape, but the Drow used a free elbow to jab the man in the gut and winded him while she took his sidearm and threw it well out of reach.

Lupito continued tearing out the guts of the men there, and some of the remaining soldiers had a twinge of doubt cross their minds. After all, when they'd signed up for the military, they hadn't signed up to fight wolves that were bigger than lions.

David, Tajuh

Tajuh slashed the shadow a few times, tearing through it while avoiding the corrupting essence. "Riki, Kud! Get the Stone here and blast the Shadow that came from the Spartan!" It was clear to everyone from the context that the man was not talking about the man that was currently arguing with David.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal, Teri, Slindis, Garm, Lupito

Rugal was finishing up his side went Dimitri contacted him with the News of the Nuke.
"That son of *****! Get into whatever equipment you can and stop that Missile!" He ordered as Slindis got to work on the Midget General.
Pint finally came to from his brainwashing, when it entered it, he was in his ranch, now he was here.
"Ohhhhh...Where am I?...The Comma-DC IS UNDER ATTACK!? Where is the President!?...No...." He exclaimed as the Missile's Path came up on the main screen, it was coming straight for them.
"But...HOW!? I WOULD NEVER LAUNCH A NUKE ON AMERICAN SOIL!" He shouted, clearly confused by the state of affairs.
It was clear to Slindis that he was unaware of what was going on.

As Rugal made his way to the short man, he was harassed by Jenkins who grabbed him and started shouting things like "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! YOU HAVE TO GET ME OUT OF HERE! I HAVE A FAMILY!"
Clearly not in the mood to deal with him, he merely shoved him aside as he ran off, pegging him to be a low level official.
Thus the Angel Spy slipped away and made his way towards the exit and Teri.
Rugal then began to check the computers for any fail safe systems.

 

[bluecrimson]

Rugal, Teri, Slindis, Garm, Lupito

Slindis scowled at the general. [color=c20000]"I saw you hit the button! If you want to fix this now before the city's completely wiped out, work with me to try to stop it!"[/color] The paladin kept a tight grip onthe General as she looked at the weapons systems with the General.

[color=c20000]"Rugal, he was being controlled. Tell me, did any of the people in here look odd for a soldier? From the look in his eyes, it had been a long-term control, and that needs constant reasserting of the control."[/color] Lupito bared his teeth at the remaining soldiers, and they began dropping their weapons in hopes that the wolf would stop its attacks.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal, Teri, Slindis, Garm, Lupito

Pint was now frozen still at had he was forced to do.
"No...Not like this..." He said to himself as he checked his overrides.
"I can't stop it..."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T STOP IT?!" Rugal shouted, putting the fear of God into him.
"T-t-t-the Launch Codes, I don't know them!" He answered, leaving the question as to did know the codes.
"...Well...If I was to cut you up piece by piece and feed it to our not so little friend here, would you remember?" He threatened, hoping Luptio would work with him on this.

Meanwhile, Jenkins was able to get past Squishy and Garm by crawling up in the fetal position and sobbing about their impending nuclear Doom.
Second they were fooled into thinking he wasn't a threat, he instantly stopped and began to make his way towards the stairs.

 

[bluerocker]

Rugal, Teri, Slindis, Dimitri, Garm, Lupito

[color=3897E0]

"Plug me into that terminal, and will do!"

[/color]

After Rugal complied with the action, and saw the butler appear on a screen. Dimitri then made a zipping motion with his hands, and several programs appeared, alongside a NINE_IRON in his hands. Following that, the screen became a wall of code, with green battling a pale blue. Rugal could only surmise that this was the AI at work.

---

After getting Lucifer's message, Teri sat quietly outside the stairs; mulling over what she had just heard. A panicked looking man appeared, and she instinctively reached for a water bottle. Upon doing so, she heard, "Please for the love of God, don't hurt me! I don't want to die here! I have a family!"

The Cleric relaxed slightly, and moved aside, assured that her comrades were done with their work. She began making the motions of creating an ice construct to watch the door, when she heard the click of a gun against her head,

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, little Cleric. Now put down the Tablet and the staff, don't make a peep, and don't send out any distress signals. Otherwise, your frontal lobe will be painting the walls."

The Cleric stopped her gestures with a gasp, and slowly complied, putting her water bottle back in the satchel and began unfastening her Tablet from the strap she kept it on. As she did so, she quietly initiated two protocols with the mental link in the Tablet:

Codeword: Abort
Codeword: Silent Feed

The former was a safety measure for Dimitri. If anything approached the Tablet's sensors that resembled violent force, Dimitri was to be sent immediately to Rugal's PDA or the Rising Dawn, whichever proved to be closer.

The later, was exactly as it sounded. The webcam in her Tablet came on, allowing any to get a view of what was happening. However, that also depended upon whether the alert to nearby computer systems was heeded. Placing her only means of communication down quietly, and began to walk away with her kidnapper.

Angelus, Caim, Cadolbolg, David, Shadow, Ton Ton

Caim gave a nod of approval at Shadow's words,

"You've got a good head on your shoulders. Don't have strength, and you get it through whatever means possible. I don't know if I like the sound of this virus thing though... It sounds like more trouble than it's worth, if you have to take another serum to combat it."

 

[bluecrimson]

Rugal, Teri, Slindis, Garm, Lupito

After some time with the code, she turned to Rugal. [color=c20000]"Rugal, Cam you please work on the code? I'm a bit concerned that Teri's not communicated with us at all, and you've probably got more experience with this kind of technology than I do."[/color] Lupito bared his teeth as he told Slindis that he'd be keeping a very keen eye on everyone in the room - Rugal included.

Slindis went back up the hallway, noting that it was oddly quiet for the attack as she began backtracking. Where was her student? She searched around the area for signs of Teri. The sight of her student's Tablet and staff on the ground was an immediate red flag, and she picked them up as she started sneaking to avoid raising suspicion. As she stalked through the area, she felt some energy returning to her, and she happened upon a slightly panicked Garm.

By sneaking, Slindis triggered the Monk ability One With Shadow! While sneaking, she naturally regenerates Ki.

Current Ki: 17

[color=c20000]Lupito, Teri's left her equipment here. Go and search through the area for her, and stay unnoticed.[/color]

Back in the Command Center, Rugal noticed Lupito exiting through the left side.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal

"Very well, Take Teri, warn the others and head for the Underground Metro. It'd be your best chance..." Rugal replied, clearly concerned for their lives as the timer hit T-Minus 10 minutes.
[color=c00000]"And you?...."[/color]
All he said was "...It's been an honor..."
Thus he began searching for anything that could help stop the Missile as Slindis took off.

Jenkins, Teri

"Good Girl, Now start walking, Turn left once we enter the main building, No tricks..." Jenkins commanded.
He had to get to the roof in order to get an evac out of the city before it became a massive smoking hole.
[color=c00000]"Teri? Are you ther-"[/color]
The second he heard the drow, the spy grabbed Teri in a choke-hold and pressed his gun to the side of her head before turning around to put Teri between him and Slindis.
"DON'T COME ANY CLOSER! You stay put or I'm going to have to blow her brains out!" He warned as he kept backing up to the staircase, keeping a vice grip on Teri to prevent Slindis from getting a clear shot at anything.

 

[bluerocker]

Jenkins, Slindis, Teri

Teri let out an audible gasp of pain when Jenkins pulled her into the hold, short breaths escaping her silent throat as the gun was pressed against her head. The Tablet seemed to respond in kind, sending out random noises as it saw fit, the mental link messing with the apparatus' ability to properly process sounds.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING DOING, GIRL!?"

Teri gave a choking cough, unable to say otherwise.

Rugal

At the sound of the gasp, Garm's hackles raised and an ugly growl began escaping it's maw. The Pup! Someone had the Pup! Turning to Rugal, the wolf gave angry barks at the King of Fighters, and grabbed a bit of the man's coattails, seeing fit to attempt dragging him towards the stairs.

 

[bluecrimson]

Jenkins, Slindis, Teri

Slindis stayed still as she communicated mentally to Lupito. [color=c20000]Head by the staircase, wrap around and flank, strike when you have the chance.[/color] Meanwhile, she examined every nuance of the man to see if there were some tells.

Lupito

As the wolf got the message, he moved through the bunker to see if there was a secondary way to get to the staircase.
