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

[bluerocker]

Devon, Caim, Angelus

Caim looked at the bard with a mixture of shock and confusion, barely able to 'say',

"... You would do that? Even though you know damn well wherever she's being held is packed to the teeth full of guards? Hmn. I can't say I'm not impressed, Author. You've got guts."

Angelus smirked, and gave Caim a pat on the shoulder, "What he means to say is 'thank you'. Just knowing she's alive and functioning on a cognitive level is a relief enough. Now, what was this about sneaking her in and out?"

Garm | Rugal | Teri

"...Go on...You can tell me...What's the issue? Is it that Angel?"

Teri shook her head, [color=0E59E4]

"I'm perfectly fine! Garm's just fuzzy! I like the sensation..."

[/color]

[color=3897E0]

"Madam, that's your poorest lie to date... Not counting for the onions."

[/color]

"That and it's rude to not look at someone when you're talking to them..."

The Cleric sighed, and forced herself to look up from her faithful companion's fur and at Rugal; the feelings she was trying to hide showing through a badly made smile, [color=0E59E4]

"The Angel? Oh no, he just had to go back to work...What I'm a bit upset about-

[/color]

[color=3897E0]

"A gross understatement for the day..."

[/color]

[color=0E59E4]

"Can it, Dimitri... Anyways, I made a big mistake. Something I can't fix, even with Writing. Remember when I brokered the Fates in order to unbind all those I write for? I said: 'I have bound several individuals to my fate, and I would like them to have the freedom to make fate their own.' However... That worked a little too well, and it's spread to my homeworld... Do you understand what I'm getting at?"

[/color]

AIM: Med Bay <- Seriously, I think this RP has a Med-Bay fetish

"What the?! Furiae, stay back!"

Drawing his blade, Inuart charged at the beast, bringing a wave of ice down on it before following up with a slash to it's face.

As this went on, Furiae found herself doing her best to get out of the bed quickly, but before she could find a proper place to hide from the monsters, a scream came from behind. Whirling around, she could already see another of the beasts had begun feasting on the other patients. Shaking in fear, she looked down to the gauntlets, and wondered if... Maybe.. Just maybe... Looking to Inuart, she shouted, "Inuart, you said my other side helped you, yes?!"

Inuart grunted as he stopped a blade from piercing his side, and threw it back at the creature. With a scowl, he answered, "She did! Now, why do you ask?"

Before he could get a proper answer out of his lady love, he heard the sound of cloth tearing, visceral... something and a crunching noise. After dealing a final blow to the creature before him, he whirled around to see her again, still growing out into her 'proper' form as crescents of light and spectral swords impaled another of the creatures as the bracers lay on the floor. With a hanging jaw, Inuart could only mutter, "Furiae..?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Garm | Rugal | Teri

Rugal was puzzled by what she said, granted, he watched the strange ceremony, right before the Viscus Business.
"...I don't understand...So you summoned those beings to assist you in ensuring your death didn't end the existence of others....But...Fate their own...." He repeated to himself as he tired to figure out what she was on about.
[color=0E59E4]

"W-well....It's just...They...My family..."

[/color] Teri stammered as she welled up a little.
"Your family?......Oh....What did they?..."
[color=0E59E4]

"...I'm..."Unbound" to them..."

[/color]
"........"
He was clearly shocked by the news, in attempting to defy fate, she lost those she cared most about.
"...I don't think anything I can say will help, but for what it's worth, I'm sorry..." He added as Teri was about to burst into tears.
....Killer of Angels, Ladies and Gentleman...
Bracing himself for another session of waterworks, he opened his arms out in case she needed a hug.
All the while, his PDA was vibrating on the desk...

AIM: Med Bay <- You see half the shit we deal with around here! We need them!

"...Da fuk?..." Bruiser said as he crushed a mutant's skull in his large hand while Furiae mutated.
"...For what it's worth, Kurt Cobain, you wanna do that, I ain't gonna stop you." He said as he finally managed to get himself out of bed, slipping on a pair of patient shrub pants to cover his "Wound".
"...OKAY....MS. DEMON LADY.....lead the way?..." He asked nervously as Inuart picked up the bracer.

 

[bluecrimson]

Devon, Caim, Angelus

Devon rubbed his chin to think of it before talking. "You know there's got to be surveillance there, right? What would happen if they were to see some things on those cameras when we head in? Even without that, I think I could talk some people into getting us through. Worst comes to worst, I think I could patch you up. Probably not as good as Teri or SLindis, but it's still there."

A moment to take a breath before he concluded. "Still, Furiae's close to you, and that redheaded bard she's with looks like a tool and feels like a creeper. Besides, I told you from the start that I was going to help you out. What kind of man would I be if I backed out of the offer because it got difficult?"

 

[bluerocker]

Garm | Rugal | Teri

"...I don't think anything I can say will help, but for what it's worth, I'm sorry..." He added as Teri was about to burst into tears. Bracing himself for another session of waterworks, he opened his arms out in case she needed a hug.

The girl didn't need telling twice. With Garm to support her as she stood, the girls face was already shinning by the time she reached the King of Fighers' embrace; shaking heavily with each sob; and the Tablet reverbarating with the Cleric's regrets,

[color=0E59E4]

"I-I was so STUPID! I s-should have known better than to t-t-t-try brokering them! But's it wasn't- it wasn't fair to any of the ones I Write for!"

[/color]

Similar bits of mental self flagellation came through the Tablet, and Dimitri decided that now was the time to revert to Silent Mode again, at least, until the Cleric could 'talk' properly again...

AIM: Med Bay <- You've got a point there...

After Furiae transformed completely, she looked to the two men with frenzied eyes, and did a sort of hop-flutter to Inuart's side, her form easily towering over Bruiser and Inuart. After doing so, she just stared at the red-head, as if she were-

"Waiting for orders..? Ahem, well then... Furiae, let's get out of here. You know that thing you just killed?"

He pointed at the monster in question, "Just attack those. Nothing else."

The Goddess looked over Inuart like a curious dog, but nodded, looking to the door, where more sounds of carnage waited. With a sigh, he said, "Hmn, it looks a bit big for you... Hey you!"

He looked to Bruiser, "Think you could widen up that entrance a bit? If we want her to follow along, and we do then we'll need a bigger hole in the wall..."

Devon, Caim, Angelus

Caim nodded with approval,

"Sounds like a plan, Writer... Actually, now that I think about it, we might be able to get the Cleric on hand. I'm guessing she'd want to make up for all the trouble... Maybe."

Angelus shook her head in disbelief, "Only if she asks first... She's had enough, Caim. However, that does bring into the question of what else is being used for fortifications, and what kind of approach we should take... Devon, have you seen much about what place she's being kept in?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Garm | Rugal | Teri

Standing still as a rock as Teri let it all out like she did in DC, Rugal remained stoic but caring thoughout it all.
It was sickening that people this young were forced to make these sort of choices, live this kind of life.
And to think, in a day or two, they would be in outer space fighting for the fate of humanity.
As she began to dry up her sobbing a little, he said ".....If there is anything that I can do, please let me know..."

AIM: Med Bay

"...Errrr, yeah, sure..." Bruiser sheepishly said as he stepped over the bleeding dismembered waste of Mutants towards the torn Med Bay Wall and started to pry it open, effortlessly tearing a huge chunk out of it and using it to block off a hallway full of incoming mutants.
"GET GOING! MOVE!" He shouted as he held it in place for them to clear the way to the Command Center.
AIM: Command Center

As the lucky ones reached safety, Bison began to look for Alucard, he didn't even care if he actually caused it or not, he was going to kill that son of a *****!
[color=6c1504]"ALUCARD! YOU DICKHEAD! YOU MINDLESS FUCKTARD!"[/color] He shouted as he pushed people out his way searching for him.

 

[bluecrimson]

Garm | Rugal | Teri | Slindis | Lupito

The Drow and her companion wolf walked into the room, with Slindis meaning to talk with Rugal about the issue he seemed to have with space. However, seeing her student sobbing into the man's abs brought up many more important questions. Lupito kept a keen eye on Rugal as Slindis asked the first main question that anyone would want to know about with this scenario.

[color=c20000]"Rugal, what happened here?"[/color]


Devon, Caim, Angelus

Devon nodded. "Well, as far as I know, the place is underground... lots of people there, too oh god the screeching again" He quickly put his hands over his ears, but there was no change in what was going on in the area. It was pretty clear that he was getting insight into Furiae's situation as the two talked.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Garm | Rugal | Teri | Slindis | Lupito

Rugal glanced up at the Drow as Teri tried to pull herself together.
"...Back in the Jungle, Teri took steps to ensure that her existence as a Author no long threatened the existence of Caim and Angelus if she was to die. To do this, she enlisted the services of entities called the Weird Sisters. However, There was a grave error. Not only is she unbound from the Dragon and her partner, it also broke her ties to her family back in her home world. And not the sense she can't go home, just she hasn't a home to go to." He calmly explained as opened a drawer for a box of tissues.
"This is why I'd rather not see the youth with the power they have. Without proper control, it can be harmful..." He finished before motioning for her to sit, growing uneasy as Lupito followed in with her.

 

[Sithmorack]

Rising Dawn

Shadow, ???

Shadow swore as he ran around the Rising Dawn looking for David. He was there at the time he was suppose to be, but David was not. He just sighed as he saw David run from the war room. It was then he heard a familiar voice....

"[color=00308F]WEEELLLL hello THERE![/color]"

Shadow's skin paled a bit under his helmet as he slowly turned around and saw no one...

He turned back around and began to "[color=00308F]BOO![/color]" C.J. said before a fist phased through his body.

"[color=00308F]That wasn't very nice...[/color]" C.J. said as he continued to smile at him. Shadow just looked him for a moment and muttered "no" and walked right past him to follow where David had gone.

C.J. didn't like being ignored but noticed a commotion going on in a room close by. He made his way over there and walked over to a corner of the room. He decided to watch everyone in order to see what was going on.

Meanwhile

Shadow was had lost sight of David and hoped he was nearby. "DAVID! DAVID! Where the hell are you?!" he shouted hoping to attract his attention.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David

Hearing the shouts of his "Dealer" David quickly changed his course and the two of them finally met up.
"About fucking time! Do you have it? Give it to me! I don't care what I have to to, just shut up and take my money!" He quickly ranted, throwing his wallet at the Russian merc.
He wanted to dodge bullets and tear people apart REALLY bad.

 

[bluerocker]

Garm | Rugal | Teri | Slindis | Lupito

The Cleric blew her nose on a tissue, and tapped a button on her Tablet, enabling her to 'speak' again, [color=0E59E4]

"Not just Caim and Angelus... My hands were involved for more people than the ones you've met already. Ton Ton, for example, was another connected to me. Furthermore, the Price is more than just my family. Everyone who ever knew me back home, doesn't. I never existed, as far as that universe is concerned..."

[/color]

Her eyes remained downcast as she said this, and settled against Garm again, [color=0E59E4]

"I'm sorry to have sprung that on you... I could have gotten the cries out of the way elsewhere..."

[/color]

AIM: Med Bay

The clearing of the mutants proved to be an easy task, now that Furiae had taken the mantle of the Goddess again. Charging ahead of the bard, the Demoness ripped and tore into the flesh of the creatures before her with her tentacles and her crescents of light. However, the sheer numbers called for Inuart's assistance, and he too found himself knee deep in carnage when all was said and done.

Devon, Caim, Angelus

Caim stiffened when Devon mentioned screaming, and with a soft 'voice' asked,

"... Underground... Do you see what's going on with her, or why she's like 'that' again?"

 

[Sithmorack]

Shadow

Shadow caught David's wallet and tossed it back at him. "I dont want your money..." he said as he took out a needle filled with some form of liquid inside.

"David... listen... im not a hundred percent sure this is gonna work. I did everything to the best of my abilities but theres a lot of variables to account for...." Shadow said as he held the the prototype virus in his hand.

"Also I have to ask... did you make more of the sirums I gave you? Or should I start working on some how duplicating those too?" Shadow asked as he thought about some side effects this will have if he fucked it up.

Shadow was no scientist, but he had copied most of the information from Wesker's computer back then and had been able to duplicate it almost exactly. There were always risks though...

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Shadow, David

"Details, DETAILS! Just gimme, gimme, gimme!" David barked as he rolled up his shelve and and began to try and locate a vein.
"Hold up a second..." He said as he undid his belt before wrapping it around his arm like some kind of addict.
Tightening it up and getting a vessel in his elbow, he nodded and said "When you are ready you fuck Russian prick!"
AIM: Hallway

Following behind the duo, Bruiser had his hands full tearing apart all the Mutants that thought to strike them from behind, using a large blade he picked off one to cleave up the incoming beasts.
"Cortex! I SWEAR TO GOD I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR THIS!" He shouted as he drop-kicked a larger mutant, knocking the others down like dominoes.
As the group moved on, Gun shots could be heard.
"Hehehehe...Worthless Chaff..." Said a familiar voice as Wesker made an appearance, Dual Wielding both his Samurai Edge and his Hydra Shotgun, back in his prime after a year of hard drinking.
"HEY! Got one on your tail!" He shouted as he took aim at Furiae...

 

[bluecrimson]

Garm | Rugal | Teri | Slindis | Lupito

Rugal's thoughts did make sense to Slindis, so she spoke up. [color=c20000]"True. More often than not, when someone gets that kind of power, it's far too easy to become infatuated with the rush it gives. Another large issue is the misuse of those powers, and they also give a crippling dependency on them."[/color]

Turning to her pupil, she began the lecturing. [color=c20000]"In any case, I'd like to know why you thought it would be a good idea to bargain with powers that you don't know a single thing about, Teri. They may have been linked to you, but what if they had chosen to instead use those bonds against you? What then?Your intentions may have been good, but meaning well doesn't stop you from getting painful results like the ones you've got to deal with now! I wanted you to be able and go home after this so you could finish your schooling! Because of that reckless decision, now you've got to live with the knowledge that everyone and everything you know isn't there any more. Believe me, this is going to be incredibly painful. Please, tell me exactly what you told them when you made the bargain."[/color]

After Teri explained it, Slindis went over to Teri and held her in a comforting hug. [color=c20000]"Teri, I'm so sorry. I should have taught you better than that, but because of my limited focus, now you've got to go through life with that burden. Please, forgive me for my failings if you can bring yourself to..."[/color]

Devon, Caim, Angelus

Devon tried to keep the split focus going as he talked to Caim. "There's some kind of attack by abominations, the tool is fighting with the blue skinned dude - no, Machoke, -, Furiae's continuing that screech while she...oh god, tentacles aren't supposed to work like that! ANd constantly with the damned screeching and those crescents!... no, I've got to focus... Well, I don't know what's causing the attack, but those bracers she had earlier are off too."

The screeching that Devon was talking about was an ear-splitting one that never really left the minds of anyone unfortunate enough to hear it, and it was nearly as bad as fighting the Goddess Furiae herself. Still, he worked hard at keeping that focus on the scene.

 

[Sithmorack]

Shadow, David

Shadow ignored David's last comment and brought the needle close to his arm. Taking careful aim he stabbed the needle into David's arm penetrating the vain. He then injected the virus into his blood stream and waited to see what would happen to him.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Garm | Rugal | Teri | Slindis | Lupito

Rugal watched as Slindis comforted the Dear Little Cleric, 2 women who's world was literally turned upside down by the madness of this world.
It was actually kinda sad, causing him to sniffle a tad bit.
"....Eh? *Sniff* Oh for the love of..." He said as blood ran down from his eye socket, causing him to start looking for a tissue to control the bleeding before either of them noticed he was "Crying".
Shadow, David

......
Seconds passed...
".....Well?...." Shadow asked as he checked the needle, completely empty.
"...I don't....Feel any different....I look any different?...God dammit! Must have been a du-"
Before David could finish, a huge piercing pain shot up his arm and all the way to his head.
"GAHHHH! AHHHH! DAAAHHH FUCK! OH GOD! MY FUCKING HEAD!" he screamed as he trashed though the hallway as his DNA was re-written from the inside out.
Every vein in his arm and all over his face glowed red as the reaction took place.
Soon in order to drown out the pain, he began to smash his head against the floor, his new strength putting a large dent in the metal floor as he did.

 

[bluerocker]

Garm | Rugal | Teri | Slindis | Lupito

Teri sniffled as she began to explain, her head resting on her master's shoulder as her Tablet went on, [color=0E59E4]

"It's because of those damned bonds I made the deal to begin with. I've done some terrible things to my chara- no.. Those I used to Write about. Caim and Angelus just happen to by my 'masterpiece' of misery. They were characters in a video game I played in my universe; one that had different and terrible endings. When I decided what would happen to them, I combined three of them, each of them terrible and apocalyptic, and then set them loose here. Before the first reset, Angelus died! And that's just when I started!

[/color]

[color=0E59E4]

Oh no, all the things they endured after that; all the torture, mind breaking, battle scars, all of that? I allowed it! I wrote it, and took pleasure in it! And that's just the start. I eventually brought in their worst enemy, as well the corpse of Caim's slaughtered sister that the enemy intended to revive; just to egg them on further... And don't you remember, Mr. Bernstein? You've gone toe to toe with Caim and Angie... I wrote that! And you know Bruiser? The one who has a vendetta against those two? It's because of me he's alive and kicking! Even so, the many times he should have died, I TOLD HIS WRITER NO! I begged him to keep him alive, because it he was 'interesting' and 'wonderfully sadistic'.

And then I got bored, and my ideas turned elsewhere.... I made a Tonberry who's sole purpose was to love and defend someone precious, and ripped him from all that! Just because I thought it was a compelling story! All he wants, and desires is to go back home...."

[/color]

She was crying again by this point, and she shimmied away from her master's hug, covering her face in her hands, [color=0E59E4]

"And when Red Mage appeared, threatening to kill us all? You know what they had to do? They had to DEFEND us, or else their lives would have been forfeit! You know perfectly well how that feels, Slindis, to be so angry at Devon. You lost your home too. I did those things to Caim, Angie, and all the rest under my thumb... When I brokered that deal, it was to save them from being bound to a sadistic and cruel girl; not having to depend upon her weak flesh to survive... I did them a favor. I told the Fates 'I have bound several individuals to my fate, and I would like them to have the freedom to make fate their own. In return, I shall do as you request of me.' And now they're free...."

[/color]

Burring her face in her knees, her arms drawing them closer still, [color=0E59E4]

"After all I've done to them, I suppose it's only fair that I suffered some of what they did... Losing my home, facing Bruiser.... And I can't believe that my black heart has the gal to think I deserve to be loved by an Angel, or to look to you two, strong, wonderful people as parents... I don't deserve it. I don't deserve any of this... If anything, I should be asking for forgiveness..."

[/color]

Devon, Caim, Angelus

The pact partners looked to each other and then to Devon in horror when they realized who was with the demonic version of Caim's sister, as well as the red-haired git who revived her, Bruiser. But what was HE doing there?! All the pact partners could do was futilely listen as Devon began telling them more and more about the situation; helpless to solve any of it.

AIM: Hallway

Inuart forced himself in front of Furiae and screamed, "WESKER NO! THIS IS FURIAE! SHE'S HELPING US! PUT THE GUN DOWN OR SHE'LL ATTACK!"

The Demoness in question, although seeing a weapon drawn her way, stopped her advance after Inuart blocked her way; and looked curiously at the doctor before her. Was she to eat him next?

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

AIM: Hallway

"...A B.O.W.?...Fine, just keep "Her" on a leash and follow my head. Try to decapitate them, they stay down then." Wesker said as his SWAT training came into play and he made hand motions for the group to follow him.
Bruiser followed suit as he broke down an archway to block the way back, holding the Mutants back for a little while.
"Second this is over, I'm fucking retiring! I've had enough of this Bullshit!" He shouted as he dashed after the others.

 

[bluecrimson]

Garm | Rugal | Teri | Slindis | Lupito

Slindis went back over to Teri's side as she began speaking to the cleric in a tender voice. [color=c20000]"Teri, please. I know that you've erred greatly. It would be easy to just ignore you and leave you to suffer with this situation, and I knew all too many that would take that path without a second thought. I saw a bit of that guilt lurking in your eyes when I first met you. However, in my long life and all the places I've seen, it's when situation get truly difficult where you truly find out about a person. And do you want to know what I've found out?"[/color]

She kneeled down and put her left hand on Teri's shoulder. [color=c20000]"I've seen that you're a person that's surprised me at every turn, succeeded where I thought you would give in, and managed to get back up after every misstep and failure you've had. If you expected me to turn around and force you away, you were sorely mistaken. And no matter what, I will always take pride in knowing you and having taken part in helping you grow as you have. Teri, take pride in who you are, and you can always count on me to be right at your side. I may not have a surname, but you can always count me as family."[/color]

Devon, Caim, Angelus

He sat down in a chair to chair to further his focus. "The fuck? Wesker? As in Albert Wesker? From the Resident Evil series? That's just great... For all that redheaded tool claims to care for Furiae, he's all to willing to use her as an attack dog. If he really cared about her, he'd be protecting her!"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Garm | Rugal | Teri | Slindis | Lupito

It was getting harder and harder to cover up the bleeding/crying on Rugal's end as Teri made a inventory of her Woes and Sins.
It was clear that, unlike him for the most part, she had no idea of what she was doing and who she was harming.
But what he didn't expect was the comment about being parents, THAT was unexpected.
Parents?....She means....What?!.... He thought at first, but after seeing Slindis's reaction.
".....She's right, you know. Quite frankly, I had my doubts at first, Then again, that was before I blinded by someone half your age. But given what you endured and...What I...let happen...You've stood your ground. Sure, you've fallen a few times but..." He added before laying a hand on her other shoulder.

"We fall so we can pick ourselves up again..." He finished, Slindis noting it being the exact same words he said to her back in her darkest moment.
"Still doesn't mean we don't need a hand every once and while..." He finished before offering his hand to help her up, giving her a gentle smile.
.....I should more annoyed with this...but I'm not....weird...

 

[Sithmorack]

David, Shadow

Shadow sighed watching David going into a frenzy.

C.J. Had gotten bored of the War Room and went to find Shadow.

He eventually rounded a corner spotted Shadow just staring at David going into a frenzy. He opened his mouth as if to say something but then closed it, turned around and headed back towards the War Room not saying a word.

Shadow only had one idea as to calm David down. He approached David pulled out a sirum and when David went to bang his head against the ground again held him down and injected the sirum.

Shadow hoped it would work....
