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

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Training Room: Raven

Raven trashed for a second as he was shot in the leg, biting his tongue from the pain.
He was clearly in extreme pain but he soon calmed himself down.
It'd take a lot more then that to break him.
"Matt, keep our friend entertained. I'm going to contact the Blue Dragon over this incident." He said before leaving Raven to the rest of the team in the Training room.
On his way up to the bridge, he passed by his room, the door wide open letting the heat from the shower escape.
...Of course there was another one... He thought as he stormed in as Kura was getting dressed.
He was about to strike when he realized who it really was.
"Kura!?....You have 5 seconds to explain, then get out...."

Training Room: Raven

Caim gave the ninja his infamous Battle Smile[sup]TM[/sup] as the interrogation continued,

"Come on now soldier, you've been caught with your pants down. Fess up, and it'll make things easier on you..."

He tapped a few buttons on the PDA for a moment, and held up the camera to Raven, snapping a picture in the process. After a few more moments waiting to get another communique in from Furiae. The former Goddess' text appeared on screen, and with how it appeared on the outside, Caim was typing vigorously. However, what was really unfolding was a conversation between the siblings. The typing went on, but from what Caim was slowly gathering.... Perhaps things were not as simple as he would have liked:

Caim, is this why you decided to open this chat? To pump me for information? Even if that man IS indeed a Strider, which he isn't, I could not in good conscious tell you that. That's treason, and a death sentence for whoever gives out that sort of information. Do you understand?

The warrior paused, somewhat struck surprised that his sister was so dutiful in her new post, and could only sigh in resignation. This would probably be the extent of what he'd get without putting his sister in jeopardy. And this failure of an assassin was not worth harming Furiae. With a heavy heart, he typed back,

... Yeah, I do. Sorry. I didn't mean to come across like that, even if you've seen right through me. I won't ask anything like this again. Keep up with the training. I expect progress reports. :)
Your brother does worry a lot, you know. Comes with the job description.

Of course, Caim. Now I gotta go. My duties DO keep me busy. You stay safe yourself.

After the chat closed, Caim couldn't help but be a little deflated. It wasn't too long since she had gone, and already, secrets were being kept from him and he was back at square one of the investigation. What now? That was when he saw that Matt began pumping lead into Raven, and Ton Ton raised a protest,

[color=15650D]"Is this really necessary?! I thought this was interrogation, not torture!"[/color]

Caim wandered back to Matt's side, and motioned to the Strider,

"It may be what we need, Ton Ton. If you are uncomfortable, you can leave. I will not force you to stay here and watch. However, you with the gun, we need to make sure he doesn't die from blood loss before this continues. We should get a healer in here."

Teri's Room

While the visions that David saw on the Tablet's screen were originally pleasant, David was starting to see things take a turn for the worse, as the images became a bit blurrier as time went on, the faces changed from family members and beloved pets to soldiers and monsters; grinning things with sharp teeth, and muscle bound horrors with purple skin. Faces stretched in horror as ice cut them down, water drowned them, swords of force cut them in two and wolves ripped them asuner. The Cleric herself tossed and turned as the visions became increasingly violent in nature; and the nightmare came to a head with three faces glaring back at David West. A maiden, a mother(?) and an old crone they were, and then they faded away, leaving the Tablet black, and a single bit of text the only illumination from the machine:

[color=0E59E4]

"I'm sorry."

[/color]

Spoiler: Santa Monica

Inuart's eyes widened in alarm when he saw the Machoke in the state he was in, and wandered closer, if somewhat on the edge. Even with the Serum's strength and speed, he didn't want to get on the bad side of the strongman. Noticing Bruiser's self decay, he asked quietly,

"Bruiser? You... You haven't eaten in some time, have you? What are you doing down here like this? You know the others have been worried about you, don't you?"

 

[Moros]

You're probably right. If I know assassins, he's probably hoping we kill him before we break him. Although I have a quick fix on me," Matt said as he got out a can of something. Medical foam. Supposed to fill in wounds to stop the bleeding," Matt said as he sprayed it into the Strider's wound. When that was done Matt fired another bullet into the other leg nonchalantly.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Training Room: Raven

Raven could tell that Matt knew what he was going, but some bullet wounds weren't going to break him.
He maintained his silence, but Matt was onto something, he'd rather die then talk.
When the Merc got close, he spat in his face, fully expecting a retaliation.

 

[Moros]

Hahahaha, so you go with the old cliche of spitting in my face to get me to hit you. Instead, I will be giving you something else," Matt said as he pulled out a syringe with clear fluid in it. "This is water, although it's mixed with a couple doses of LSD. It should last a couple of days or more, I'm not really sure. It's kind of tricky getting the doses just right," Matt said as he injected the Strider with it. While Matt was telling the truth about it being LSD, he was lying about the dosage. The actual amount in the mix would only last a few hours.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Training Room: Raven

Raven was confused by Matt's efforts as the drug began to flow though his body.
His senses were still a little raw after the Sonic Attacks and Flashbangs and Matt could see his pupils begin to dilate and his perceptions began to be altered.
"....You....expect this to work?..."

Teri's Room

".....That was't creepy at all..." David said, taken aback by the torments of the Cleric's mind.
....Guess this is what war does to people... he thought as he held her down as she trashed in her sleep, attempting to calm her down.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm here." He said to her in her sleep, watching her calm down slowly, but surely.

Spoiler: Santa Monica

Bruiser didn't answer as Inuart asked how was he, merely sighing as he watched his pro-wrestling.
He used to feel so Powerful, so Big, now? Nothing.
So he ignored the bard and just turned up the TV...

Mizune came down and opened the car door. With a snap of her fingers, the hat shrunk down till it looked toy sized on her head. She then slid into the seat wearing her hat, fitting easily. "AS to the question about the dress, wesker, i've had it since before aim. I never wore it because it's not traditional garb. Plus, it's rather hard to separate as this isn't the five pieces that clothe the smaller versions of me." She explained as wesker was one again staring at her, this time the rather lovely view of her chest.

"Hello...? we gunna go?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Spoiler: Santa monica

"...There is a piece of lint on the right of your chest..." Wesker pointed out before Mizune addressed it and pulled it off as Wesker drove off.

2 hours of "THE LIGHT IS GREEN! MOVE YOUR METAL-SHIT-BOX!"/"IT'S CALLED A INDICATOR! USE IT!"/"CUT ME OFF LIKE THAT AGAIN AND I WILL GENETICALLY MODIFY YOUR TESTICALS!"/"*****, I KILL PEOPLE! WITH SCIENCE!" later

After a nice bit of calm driving, Wesker managed to get to his interview on time.
"Right, here we are. West LA Neuroresearch." He said as he parked up to a rather dull looking office building.

"Right, Don't know how long the Interview will be, You want to come in or do you just want to got into the City Center or something?" He asked, hoping she wouldn't find out he was just getting a Janitor position.

Training Room: Raven



"Don't beat yourself up, okay? Everyone has their off days."

Devon patted Cadolbolg on the head and whispered into the ring, letting those wearing them a bit of information. [small]"I'm about to try something, so just roll with it."[/small]

Devon casts Glibness! [http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/glibness.htm] Would you like to buy some [s]snake oil[/s] rejuvenation tonic?

He walked up to the drugged and shot Raven and shook his head, having an idea of what to roll with. "Man, you're the best he could send? Really? Just goes to show that you shouldn't make bets with your boss, especially when he calls the shots on how it goes down."

He had a strong feeling that this one would work by the way Slindis had backed off. However, she was glaring at Matt for the torture - She clearly didn't approve of it.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Training Room: Raven

Raven looked at Devon in disbelief of what he just said, his eyes showing him a hazy light show as he processed what he was hearing.
"...you mean?....He sent me down here....AS A BET!?" He screamed, he knew Hien, this was right up his alley.
"...Hien......I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!" He shouted as he tried with renewed vigor to release himself from the net he was hung up on.
After a moment of struggling, he realized what he just did.
"....You....Bastard..."

 

[bluerocker]

Training Room: Raven

Caim, catching onto the ploy, shook his head in 'disbelief',

"A [u]bet[/u]?! Huh... Tell us, what all did this slave driver want out of you? Seems pretty high risk for a wager...."

Meanwhile, Cadolbolg huddled closer to Devon, his despondent mood still apparent to the bard. He was only a child after all.

Teri's Room

Even with the Tablet saying nothing, David could tell the girl was trapped in her nightmare; her exhaustion being her tomb in this slumber. Eventually, the thrashing did calm, but the Irishman could still see the tell tale signs of REM as she slept. And that was when he heard,

"Care to explain to me what you are doing in a young girl's room, Mr. West? A sleeping girl's room no less? I know Dimitri said you brought her here, but I am curious as to why you linger..."

She looked to Garm, who seemed at ease, for the most part, and then to the sleeping Cleric's face, fraught with some kind of worry, and couldn't help but wonder for herself. An ajar door was never a good sign when wandering the halls, but this was ridiculous.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Teri's Room

David dropped dead as he realized the situation he was in.
"...Sup Angelus?...Okay, I swear this makes sense in context. So T here wore herself out helping Dimitri or something and she ended up taking a nap in the Firing Range. So I brought her here. Garm can back me up...." He explained, a well timed bark from Garm backing up his point.
"Still, she Ipad was going nuts, think it was like her nightmares or something, then she started trashing and kicking in her sleep, What the fuck happened to her? I've seen soldiers with actual PTSD get less unhinged." He said, knowing that whatever answer he got would be really weird.

 

[bluerocker]

Teri's Room

Angelus listened to the whole story quietly, her brow furrowing in concern, "Passed out in a firing range..? Dimitri... Care to explain? You had her do some Authoring for your work, didn't you?

The AI's voice chimed in over the intercom, [color=3897E0]

"Indeed I did. Though I did not expect this degree of exhaustion. Perhaps her Ladyship is just a tad on the stressed side?"

[/color]

"No kidding... And David... What all did you see on the Tablet? There could be a multitude of things we could discuss..."

Oh, that didn't sound good.

Spoiler: Santa Monica

Inuart stood in front of the TV and stared down the Machoke,

"That doesn' answer my question, Bruiser. What is going on?! Why are you acting like this? Is it because you were defeated? Because you lost? Well look at the lot of us! A grand bunch of losers we all are, and you do not see us moping about! Gods above, it doesn't even look like you've eaten... How do you think you'd make Doom feel if you just let yourself wither away; after all the effort he's put into saving your life!"

 

[bluecrimson]

Training Room: Raven

It was around this time that Slindis moved in to talk to the caught man. [color=c20000]"This Hien does sound like a frivolous man. What story did he pass on to you to have you willingly go this deep alone?We will see your injuries treated, but it is in your best interests to cooperate with us."[/color]

Also, Devon's focus shifted over to Cadolbolg as he held Cadolbolg tight. "Come on, don't worry. You really did help us with all of that training, Cadolbolg. I wouldn't have been able to do what I did if you hadn't helped me in all of that training."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Training Room: Raven

Raven was just counting down the seconds he could commit Hara-Kiri as his mind kept going though this Multicoloured haze.
[color=c00000]"Did you hear what I said?"[/color]
"...He wants you all dead...Nothing more, nothing less..." He said before he surrendered himself to the high he was on in a attempt to avoid more questioning.
"...I am tripping balls right now..."


Teri's Room

"Oh you know, Visions of the people she's killed, some family pictures, 3 creepy ass looking women, stuff like that." David said as he sat at Teri's desk, not having a single clue what he was about to hear.

Teri's Room

"Oh you know, Visions of the people she's killed, some family pictures, 3 creepy ass looking women, stuff like that." David said as he sat at Teri's desk, not having a single clue what he was about to hear.

For once, the dragon looked perplexed, "The only one of those I could possibly explain would be the deaths... I had no idea this much of a toll has been taken. She never shows any signs of it... Dimitri, you are her constant companion, are you not? Is there something we're missing here?"

The AI seemed silent for a moment, and then decided that it would be better to explain things now, rather than let them sit for later, and began explaining a few things that the Cleric had kept secret to but the select few....

 

[bluecrimson]

The School

Devon woke up to find that he was shorter as he was accidentally hit by Ella's bag. "Hey, watch where you're looking... Did you have to wake me up so suddenly?" Fortunately he was only a little bit shorter at 5'2", but then again he'd never been too tall. He could feel his magic was still there, but it basically meant that he'd have a much easier way to clean up this time around. From the smell of it, he guessed one of the kids would want that spell soon.

And for her part, Melethia was more than a bit weirded out by all the kids on the bus. Sure, they were around her age, but she was still young for the school. Of course, the fact that someone had stunk up the bus didn't help things. What's this about a school?

[hr]

Slindis woke up after a bit a small puppy licking her face. [color=c20000]"Mmm, I'll be up 'n a moment... Lupito? I didn't know you were taking after Simlo now..."[/color] She smiled as she petted the small pup that would easily be mistaken as a Husky as she waved to Kurumu.

[color=c20000]"Kurumu, what's going on here? I saw the note that said I'm to be the librarian here... We need to find the others."[/color]

 

[bluerocker]

[HEADING=2]Schoolhouse D(AA)ze[/HEADING]​

Teri awoke from her nightmare with a gasp; her eyes darting around in an attempt to scan the environment around her with confusion. This wasn't the Rising Dawn... No, this was the stuff of nightmares (aside from the one she had just awoken from). She was back in high school, the one place that a college student never hopes to relive again. Shaking in her seat, Teri gripped her bag tightly as it dawned upon the Cleric that... Well, for all intents and purposes, she was a teen in school again. Garm and Sadei were missing, but she could still feel traces of her Clerical power coursing through her. A small sigh of relief on that, at least. As she looked around, she noticed a familiar face seated next to her,

[color=0E59E4]"Devon? Is that you?"[/color]

[hr]

As Angelus was hearing the horrifying news that Dimitri had regarding a deal with Fate, a flash of light overtook the scene, and she found herself standing in a lounge, cup of coffee in hand,

"What the? But, wasn't I..?"

As she looked around in confusion, she saw that Caim too was there, and in a suit no less, his armor and blade seeming to be missing. And, if the Fates themselves being discussed moments prior had a sense of humor, Ton Ton and Cadolbolg were now sitting on a table, with Donuts at their tiny hands to nibble upon.

What a perplexing sequence of events indeed....

 

[StormShaun]

Im'a borrow the flashing.

The spartan Storm-178 or Sean was in his room, playing around with some of his electronics.
He wanted to get a computer up and running so he could focus on the news.

Alpha or her real name Miku was helping Sean with said electronics while keeping a check on everything.
Truly the two were bored and Sean did not want to talk to anyone, and Miku was WAY too shy to talk to anyone besides Sean.

----------FLASH!----------
In the briefing room aboard the Rising Dawn Storm thought for a second in one of the chairs. He yawned for a brief second before saying something below his breath.
"Did he say that Burt Reynolds is President or is it me?" Sean had no knowledge of this world.

----------FLASH!----------
"-member that under no circumstances should you display your powers or break cov-" Said a Military officer as he addressed the members of the Rising Dawn in a briefing room located somewhere in the heart of the Pentagon.

"What the hell, I have to be normal ... no armor?" Storm-178 had 'became' human once more.
Alpha or Miku had become silent.

----------FLASH!----------
"-the New York Massacre, there have been a number of people, we call the afflicted, that continue to remember what happened despite our efforts to remove the memories of this event. One such person-" Explained Lucifer as he stood before the assembled group as projected picture started to come into foc-

Sean scowled at the past event.
"Why must people remember such horrible events?"
The memories of all the blood, death and everything else.
"I thought they would cleanse everyone ... " Sean thought.

He would never obey the Devil, his family was Christian but they had welcomed Japan's culture and religion with open arms.

----------FLASH!----------
"What the hell ... why, why, WHY!"

----------FLASH!----------
"Why..."

----------FLASH!----------
"-GA!-"

----------FLASH!----------
"-Fu...-"

----------FLASH!----------

----------FLASH!----------

Sean & Miku (Nickname: Miki).
Location: Staff Lounge.

The stench in the Staff Lounge smelt like fresh coffee.
It was early in the morning before School actually started.
Lucky enough the two known Sean Pittman (Storm) and Hatsune Miku (Alpha) were cuddled up on one of the Lounge's couches.
Sean's eyes battered open as the smell reached him.

"Good ... morning~ He said half-awake but started to look down and opened his eyes.
Miku was right next to him and she began to open her eyes as well. " ... ehehe so war ~" She said as she was also half awake but soon saw the person she laid upon.

" Eeeh ... EEH ... EEEEEEEEEEEEH~" She darted right off the couch as the door opened.
School was going to open soon.
"Sorry about that ... " Sean said as he got up and offered a hand to the girl on the floor next to him, though he then saw who she was. "Aaaaaah, Miku!" He said pretty loud and attracted attention.

"Those two are awfully close ... "
"Maybe Miki and Sean is ...."

Voices began to come out from the Lounge.
Sean quickly grabbed Miku and dragged her out from the room towards a hallway.
They took quick looks at each other.

Spoiler: Sean

Sean wore his red shirt and formal pants, he was more intrigued by his partner's human (?) form.

Spoiler: Miku

"What the hell is going on?"

 

[StormShaun]

Sean & Miku (Nickname: Miki).
Location: Staff Lounge.

While everyone was talking, the couple were to one side of the room talking to the Nurse and the German Professor.
"Um, sorry about that ... I'm just tired." Sean scratched himself as he said that, his eyes were still looking towards Miku which was right besides him. "I am sorry as well ... ehehe" She gave a light laugh but the two's gaze never left each other. The two were surprised with the transformation but anyone could clearly see they were happy.

Sean's memories were still blurry, he could remember everything about the AA, but his memories of recent events were blurry. The only events he remembered were the briefing and Lucifer.
"Sorry I gotta ... go do something." He dropped an awkward excuse and left with Alpha, they quickly saw the others and walked over to them, smiling somewhat.

"This environment is weird. It looks like a staff room to somewhere." Sean said with an uncertain face, he had never ever been inside of a staff room or school before in his life. He saw Angelus, Cadolbolg, Caim, Slindis and Ton Ton, but had never met the other people before. The two were on the edge of the group, just looking at each other, "I'm ... I'm ... human?" Miku said with a happy face. A hand landed on her head, Sean had rubbed it smiling.

"I'm happy for you ... truly." Sean said and Miku quickly blushed.
"Ah, ah ... never mind about that, we need to find where we are and what has happened ... and maybe find out what this body is." Miku said and Sean nodded in response. The two made their way into the group of their allies, "What the hell is going on, this place looks like a staff room ... and somehow my AI got a body. Somebody explain ... please." He presented Miku to them.
