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

[NerfedFalcon]

Spoiler: OOC

Reisen, like Youmu, speaks Japanese natively, but Reisen speaks English as well. I'll use the same 'brackets in quotation marks' thing for when she speaks Japanese.

A slow clapping noise came from around a corner, causing Shadow to suddenly stiffen up. "Interesting explanation. I don't think I could have put it better," a young girl's voice noted. "Then again, I still fail to see the importance of these swords."

"How did you get here?" Shadow gruffly called out. "Show yourself!"

"All right, no need to get mad. I'm coming out." The girl walked into the bridge area and slowly looked around, scratching her rabbit-like ear. "Wow, hell of a crew you've got here, Captain Spiny. Some boy and another hedgehog. Still, I suppose crews must be hard to come by in this world. Where is this world, anyway?"

"Who do you think you are?!" was the angry response. The black-and-red hedgehog had just about had enough of the lapine intruder.

"Oh, it's my name you want now?..." She pondered this for a moment, before answering, "Call me Reisen. I'd tell you my full name, but it's pretty long, and we seem to be at our destination." Wherever that is, she added silently.

Jack silently stepped out from behind the console he was sitting at. "I want you to explain how and why you got on my ship. Now." he said, leaning heavily on his scythe. Shadow raised his eyebrows and looked at Jack. "Your ship? It's not really any-" Jack cut him off with a wave of his free hand. "By law of the sea, air and space, if a Ship's Crew and her Captain are incapacitated or removed from duty, the leader of the group or individual that has taken or found the ship shall be named as the Ship's Captain, and as such, is responsible for the Crew and the Ship's welfare. As I both killed the Captain and took command of the Ship at the time, I am the Captain. Now, I believe the young lady intruding upon my ship owes me an explanation." Jack finished, laying his gaze upon Reisen.

Adoris snorted. "As the last member of my order's previous generation, it's my duty to seek out members for a new generation. I'd found three in Shadow and two others, an echidna named Knuckles and another hedgehog called Sonic. However when Sonic went under the bonding of the sword he'd chosen, the recolors broke in and stole all but mine. Sonic was left in a coma and will not recover until the sword is returned to him and the bonding is complete. Besides, despite the recolors being unable to use the swords' powers, they may encounter someone who can and end up bonding the swords to them... That or their creator will simply retcon reality so they can bond the swords. Either way, time is of the essence here."

 

[Roamin11]

Justin and Miss Glados had arrived. The DC office of the bureaucratic office of: Heroes, Villains, Chaotic Goods and Lawful Evils.

As Justin hovered around the parking lot looking for a parking spot for the fly-cycle he noticed that he had just flown from Las Vegas to Washington DC on one tank of... whatever fuel this thing had.

That was when the fly cycle coughed, sputtered and dropped to the ground.

"Outta... Steam?" Said Justin dismounting the bike and walking towards the grey, lifeless building.

"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Asked Miss Glados

"Not really, but let's just see what we can and can't stir up when we get in there." With that Justin put his hands on the door handle pulling it open and walking inside.

The interior of the office was dull, colourless and stuffy; the lady at the front desk was brooding as she typed away on her computer terminal.

"Hello, is this the bureaucratic office of: Heroes, Villains, Chaotic Goods and Lawful Evils?"

The lady at the desk looked up glaring at him over her glasses "Yes, it is, congratulations, sign here" she said handing Justin and Miss Glados both a clip board with a pen attached to it.

"Oh wow I didn't expect it to be this easy" Justin smiled as he put his signature down on the dotted line and then printed his name on the solid one beneath that one. Miss Glados and Justin handed back their clipboard to the women behind the desk who quickly read over them and handed them back one sheet of paper.

"Mazel Tov! You two are now married" Said the lady her voice empty of any and all emotion, going back to clicking away at her terminal.

"WHAT! That's not what we came in here for we came in here to like revoke any and all status of heroes or villains!" Said Justin wide eyed and in shock "AND SHE'S NOT EVEN HUMAN!!!"

"Oh sorry that changes everything, here sign these" she said handing them two different clipboards. Justin hastily signed his clipboard but Miss Glados was the first to hand hers back.

"Congratulations you two are now married with the proper paper work!" The women gave them a quick sardonic smile before turning away to her screen once more.

"Wait! I didn't come here to marry her! She's not human! And WHY are you marrying us?"

"Believe me sir, you two are the least weirdest thing I have had to sign to marry today. The list thus far is: An archaeologist marrying the breast of Cleopatra, A boy and his dog, and that man over there with his sword"

"Someone married their dog? And someone married a sword?"

"They said that was the only way they could survive the bonding, whatever that means."

"Okay whatever, now listen here! I came here to relinquish my hero status and at the very least let me do that" Said Justin gripping the desk so hard his knuckles were white.

"Now you listen to me sir, we are currently swamped with hero licences, between both cancelations, renewals and first time applications we are swamped, I'd like to help you but you are currently on the application pile and until that goes through I can't do anything for you." giving a flustered sigh she took off her glasses staring at Justin with lifeless eyes "were you a villain then maybe I could help you but it's unlikely, if that's all you need I can book you an appointment for tomorrow." with that the women put back on her glasses began to type at her terminal till the sound of her printer screeched to life spitting out a form which she handed to Justin. "Have a good day sir"

"Thank you.. uhh" Justin looked for a name tag or name plate on the desk but only saw the number 78 on a bronze name plate sitting by the computer. "Yeah thanks see you tomorrow"

With that Justin and Mrs. Glados left the lifeless building. They'd be back tomorrow.

"Justin?"

"Yes dear?"

"I'm keeping my maiden name, and if you touch me I'll make you cry"

Reisen waited for Adoris to stop, before commenting, "I think we might be trying to hold about three different conversations at once here. And I think I was trying to follow what that orange guy was telling Captain Spiny. Oh, I'm sorry, was there something you wanted?" she asked Jack, trying not to sound teasing.

"I told you, I'm the captain of this vessel, and I demand to know what you're doing here." the Reaper replied, angrily. "You can't just barge onto a ship uninvited. Particularly not a ship such as this."

Reisen threw up her palms in defeat. "I'm as confused as you as to what my purpose is here. As for how I got here, you'd never believe me even if I told you. And like I said, I think we're arriving at our destination now."

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Jack looked out the broken front window. A large floating island was right there and the ship was coming to a stop over a small landing zone at the edge of it. "Shadow, set us down in that clear patch. Ardoris, was it? So there are another 4, maybe 5 of these swords out there, and we need to meet an echidna who might have one."
Ardoris nodded. Ryan stood up, looking down at his Armani loafers and sighing. "Ryan," Jack began, "Could you be so kind as to get in contact with Justin and tell him what we are doing, and if possible to get his ass over here. Oh, and you'll find some boots and gear down in the deck 3 armoury." Ryan let out a yipee and tore off to the armoury to get some hiking boots, and perhaps mod a fixed set of rocket boots into them.

Jack then turned to Reisen. He motioned towards her spec ops gear and MP5. "You look pretty geared up, do you know how to use that?"
"Yes, I do. What, am I coming along on this little journey of yours?"
"Hmph. Did you think I was gonna leave you here on my ship? My name's Jack, by the way. I am the Sin of Wrath, and a Reaper of souls. The little kid is Ryan, godmodding is his specialty. The orange hedgehog is called Ardoris, and the black one is Shadow. Now that you've been properly introduced, you can make your choice. Come with us and help us, or get the frak off my ship. It's that simple."

<spoiler=OOC>Ok, Crew. We'll head out once Ryan checks back in. World of Dragons, I'm gonna leave this plot arc to you, and try not to backseat mod it.
@Roamin11- So, you're a married man now eh? Wow, Miss Glados sure has grown characterwise from what she once was. Make it interesting, I would say that love is a VERY foreign emotion for her. Not that Justin nessecarily wants to go there, I would love to see them get into situations requiring close contact and sharing of secrets. Play with the characters, see what happens.

 

[Orinon]

Ryan eyes flashed white
"Holy fourth wall breaking moment Jakeman, I just learned Justin and Miss Glados are married.
I better call him now."
Ryan was trying to Fix his boots, He took out his cellphone and Called Miss Glados he had her on speed dial.
Meanwhile at The DC office of the bureaucratic office of: Heroes, Villains, Chaotic Goods and Lawful Evils.
Miss Glados rang
"Oh It's Ryan I better pick up or he'll pout,"
an antennae suddenly shot out of the side of her head. pointing up.
"Hello Ryan."
"Hey Gladdy its Ryan A big guy named Jack wants you guys to know we're on the Angel islands to find some swords, Also until I'm big again consider the Air-Cycle a wedding present, JUST DON'T CRASH IT. "
"Well that's nice and all Ryan but what does it use as fuel, because its empty"
"It runs on Deathperation flames, The red storm flames I use that come from Rings, I use them to coat my sword, I use them for my boots, I also have them charge the air cycle.
Deathperation flames are super condensed positive energy."
"So how do we recharge it?" asked Justin knowing he'd get a headache
"You have that Vongola thunder Ring Right create a flame on the ring and touch the Cycle."

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Reisen rubbed across her head, pushing her ears down a couple of times. "Not much of a choice, is it? I was sent here to do something, and the only place something is going to be happening for the next few hours is most likely with you guys." Loosening the strap on her gun, she turned to the others. "My strength is yours. Show me a target, and I'll bring it down for you."

Shadow huffed. "I think you'll find we're all capable of handling ourselves, and I don't need any useless rabbits tagging along."

"Thank you for the offer anyway," Adoris added, through gritted teeth. "We'll leave as soon as everyone's ready."

 

[Orinon]

Ryan then came inside he was wearing a Khaki suit and hiking rocket boots, He had managed to repair his boots and hen transfered them to a a set of hiking boots. His cane appeared to be thicker and much sturdier. he even had a new pith helmet, He was the little explorer.
"Well I'm ready to go."

 

[NerfedFalcon]

A loud static burst came in Reisen's left ear. "Hang on, guys, I need to answer a call. Be back in a moment!" she shouted, leaving the bridge. Once she was sure she was out of earshot of the others, she tuned her radio to a frequency that let her pick up on the static.

"19-21-9! Come in, 19-21-9!" the operator shouted. Reisen chuckled to herself at the serial number they'd picked for her. "We've received reports that someone from your world has been spotted in this world. If you could find and identify her, it might make your life slightly easier! HQ out!" The radio noise disappeared completely, and Reisen walked back to where the others were.

"Hey, guys! I've just received a report that there might be someone I know out there!" she called out to nobody in particular. "Have any of you met a girl with a strange history and control of excessively powerful magic, and probably pretty reckless?"

Adoris scratched his chin at this. "...Now that you mention it, I have met, at the very least, a reckless girl. I never caught her name, but she had a couple of swords--"

"(Swords?!)" Reisen shouted, surprised enough to fall back into Japanese. "(That means...I think I know who it is!)" Everyone stared at her, more because she was shouting than because it was in Japanese. She sighed, then repeated herself in English.

 

[world_of_dragons]

Ardoris nodded and turned to stride of the ship, the others following suit. Once on land, the orange hedgehog could sense the presence of the earthen claymore. This meant that Knuckles had found the sword and bonded it to him, or one of the recolors had figured it out.

As it were, Shadow had landed the group in the shrine of the Master Emerald where they found another airship hovering over the giant gem. With a bit of Chaos Control, Shadow teleported them to the ship's bridge where they found Knuckles having finally given in to frustration and punched a hole through one of the dashboards. Suddenly he perked up and wheeled around to throw a punch, but stopped once see the group.

"Ardoris, Shadow!" Knuckles exclaimed. "Did you manage to recover anymore of your swords?"

"Yes and I see you've bonded the earth claymore." Ardoris noted.

"Who are they?" Knuckles inquired looking past Ardoris and Shadow.

"Friends, they're looking to rescue some damsels apparently being held captive by the Chaotic Combo and their fellow recolors."

"They're kidnapping people too?!" Knuckles gave him a cock-eyed look.

"Yeah, there's probably some helpless damsels on this ship too." Ryan chirped then ran off from the bridge.

"Hey, where're you going?" Knuckles cried after him.

The others followed Ryan until he eventually came upon corridor where low and behold they found the brig where women had been packed like so many fish in force-field cells. Shadow went about deactivating the cages, allowing the women to run about freely.

"Excuse me, which one of you is the princess?" Ryan asked.

"That would be me!" Exclaimed a brunette girl with pointy ears.

"Princess Henreitta?" Ryan asked.

"No, I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule." Said the girl.

"Whoops, sorry wrong girl."

"Huh?"

 

[NerfedFalcon]

"Hey, guys!" Reisen shouted, poking her head into the room. "Sorry to break up the touching reunion, but we have a situation out here!" She ran back into the corridor, waiting for the others to come. While Shadow kept deactivating cages and Zelda tried to figure out what was up with all these people, Ryan followed the rabbit outside.

"Uh, when you said 'situation', what kind of--" Ryan asked, then stopped. A floating ball of light was in the corridor, and it seemed to be flicking in and out.

"This looks like a failed teleport. I've seen a few of those while they were testing it out back in the world I came from," Reisen noted. "I'll see if they can lock onto it and finish the job for the poor sap stuck inside." While she was messing around with her radio, Ryan went back into the room with the others.

"What did the bunny want?" Shadow asked, deactivating another field.

"Something about a failed teleport. I think she's got it under control, though, so none of you need to worry. But have you found Henrietta yet?"

"Unfortunately, no. It's not that simple, because none of these fields are labelled... If you want them opened quicker, I suggest you take the princess there and help me."

I'm planning for the person stuck in the teleport to be Youmu, but you can derail that if you like. I won't mind, really.

Meanwhile, back in the AA Story, and away from all this OOC stuff...
Jack moved to the opposite end of the prison, and began opening cells as well. In one, he found a young boy, with a sword and sheild, dressed in green. As soon as the door opend, the boy ran to Zelda. "Link!" Zelda exclaimed. "Oh, you're ok!" Link nodded, and presented Zelda with a bow of pure light. "AH! The lightbow! You kept it!" Zelda said as she took the bow. As this exchange went on, Jack, Shadow and Ardoris had opened all the cages. In the last one to be opened, was a toadstool. "I'm sorry brave Hero's, but our princess is in another castle!" Shadow facepalmed, and Ardoris shook his head. Jack turned to Reisen.

"Hey, Reisen. You seem to know about teleporters, right? Can you teleport these ladies out of here?" Jack asked.
"Hang on, I've gotta check with HQ." Reisen replied. She grabbed her headset and started talking in rapidfire Japanese. After about a minute, she stopped and then nodded at Jack. A portal opened next to her to confirm the claim. Jack turned to the crowd of women. "Ladies! You will walk through this portal here, and then you will be sent home, safe and sound to your families. Form a line, and step through! Shadow! Ardoris! Ryan! Please marshall the ladies!" The ladies formed a line as told, and in less than ten minutes, everyone had moved through, except for Zelda and Link. "We are staying here. We want to help!" Zelda said, and Link nodded. Jack thought about this. There were now enough people to take both airships and search out for a third airship, hopefully with the princess they were looking for on it. Jack turned to everybody, and began to speak.

"Alright then. Shadow, Ryan, Reisen and Knuckles, you take the other airship and start looking for the last badguy airship. It should be around this floating island somewhere. Also, pick a captain, and a name for your new ship. Keep in contact with us. Ardoris, Zelda, Link and myself will take this airship, and search in a different direction. I now name this ship Galactica. Let's head to the bridge, and get this bucket moving!"

<spoiler=OOC>Hey leet_x1337, don't be down about Reisen not getting alot of love. She is the newest character, and none of our characters really know alot about her. Also, the rules of this RP are that YOU are the GM when you post. As long as you don't go overboard (including GODMODDING), generally you are free to use all the characters to move the plot forward, and keep things interesting. We tend to let whoever is leading the current plot 'arc' be overall GM and keep things on task, but everyone is pretty nice to each other. You've also come in at a time when there is no-one on the 'Villian' team, so us Hero's are pretty much just taking turns to make shit up and fix it. I don't think anyone here has said it, but welcome to The Escapist Avatar Adventure, or AA for short. I hope that helps, and once again, welcome to the team!
