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

[NerfedFalcon]

Reimu turned to Dillon, BM and then Drek. "What was all that about?" she asked, before focusing on the turret again. The helicopter went back up to the same height as the others.

"Careful now," Drek warned. "Now there's people down there you really don't want to shoot. Don't fire unless you're certain you'll hit a Wanderer. And that's almost never a certainty."

"In that case..." Reimu trailed off at the end, before motioning for someone else to take the turret and diving out the open window. Dillon called something through his phone's loudspeaker, but she didn't notice much. It felt good to be flying again. Finally landing on the ground with Tux and Ardoris, she told them, "Thought you could use the help." Then she looked at their targets, still fast approaching. "Still four on three...but I've never cared much for odds. Not after beating gods, anyway." Somehow levitating her focusing charms in front of her, she pulled her stick into a defensive position and waited for the battle to start.

Spoiler: OOC

The 'focusing charms' are basically a translation of a game mechanic: while using the 'focus' key, Reimu (or whoever the current character is) moves more slowly, but her damage hitbox becomes visible. In this context, it basically means that until the charms are broken, Reimu won't be hurt if something like a sword or a bolt of magic hits her. But they're pretty damn fragile...

Spoiler: Holy Shit

I leave for two days, and look what happens... Ah well, I can do the bad dreams some other time

Spoiler: Shaun

As far as I understand, the Swedish empire is being chased by the Wanderers

Caim was flying overhead of the ground fighters, readying himself for when the battle was to start. He wasn't quite sure what these 'wanderers' were, but he knew that he had the strength of Angelus within him (and his equipment) and was well rested. Battle was nothing for him. He smiled, and whispered the name of his beloved dragon, "Angelus". The sword's fire grew, and Caim gripped it tightly. This was going to be interesting.

"Bye the way, I assume we're going to be meeting certain High Profile Nobility am I correct?"
"What is your point?" asked Drek confused.
"well we're dressed for a fight, if we're going to go anywhere with an ounce of class we'll need showers, and formal clothes......."
Drek thought about this, They were likely to go to some balls in order to raise awareness of the coming doom, and as Dillon said, the heroes were dressed for combat, dirt and grime coated their faces, Dillon's T-shirt had holes, burn marks, and dried blood, the rest were just as shabby.
"You have a compelling argument."
Drek handed each hero a blue credit card.
"Just don't spend it all on sweets."
each card had a limit of $10,000. US

Spoiler: OOC

Yeah just felt like doing that, also it'll mean Dillon will look Fabulous for some sort of Ballroom Party Thing that I want to happen, we spend to much forum time fighting, lets have a fancy party.
Also I'm Canadian But I'm assuming that people use The U.S.A. as a reference point for North American currency

While we wait... for the others

"Come now, Shadow..." Said a man. "Surely, the 'ultimate life-form' is capable of more than this." This man, though significantly taller than Shadow, was only just above average height. He kept his snow white hair slicked back and dressed rather regally; a blue overcoat, brown vest underneath, dark blue breeches, brown driving gloves and boots.

Shadow smirked. "I'm just biding my time, 'half-breed'."

These two found each other annoying at first, considering their need to prove themselves superior. But in their constant bouts-verbal or physical-had caused them to see bits of their own dark and sardonic nature in the other. Their annoyance gave way to a sense of respect and eventually their heated duels became little else than intense sparring. In between bouts they would talk to pass the time.

Shadow would talk about his life on the Colony Arc with Maria and the man recounted his childhood with his parents, Sparda & Eva and his twin brother, Dante. Shadow related his interactions with a certain blue hedgehog which reminded the man of his twin-those two eerily similar as well.

However, there current sparring session was interrupted as a tear opened in the great void of unused and forgotten characters. They glanced at each other.

"It seems our time here is over..." Shadow said

The man nodded. "And so it is... So what will you do?"

Shadow glanced at the katana in his hand. While they were in the void, it changed from black to Violet [http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h3/world_of_dragons/Swords/Anima__Katana_set_1_by_Wen_M.jpg] and gone was the power of shadows, now swapped with coursing spirit energy. "... I still have a mission to complete. And you?"

"I think I'll go and find Dante. He and I have much to discuss." The man replied.

That much would serve as their farewell and one by one they stepped into the portal. The next instance, Shadow was alone in a field and he could see a village off in the distance. However, he was out of the void and still had the katana, this mean he still needed to bond the Phantom Spirit Katana.

So, Shadow closed his eyes and felt the sword's power course through him, the bonding having begun...

Reimu was still staring at the charging Wanderers. "Gods, when are they going to get here?" she wondered out loud. "It feels like we've been here for ages..."

 

[StormShaun]

Tomoya saw the Wanderers coming towards the Empire and the smirk got wiped from his face, "Ugh, well that ruined my day" Tomoya spoke as he sighed.

CLICK, this is the sound that Tomoya's fingers made as he clicked his fingers together and a big black cloud appeared over the battlefield and the clouds began to generate lightning, "I guess Ill help like this, I'm not bothered to join this battle unless they really need me" Tomoya said as he glided backwards as another grin appeared across his face as he looked at the blue credit card Drek gave him.

Black Mage reached into his pack and grabbed out the over cover of his tent, its top sheet in other words. He tied the two bottom corners to his feet, then shrugged his backpack off and moved to the door. I hope this works! He thought and then jumped out of the door, aiming for Reimu and Tux. As he fell holding the other two free corners of the top sheet he stretched his arms wide out, the sheet forming a parachute of sorts. Black Mage glided forwards with the parachute, dropping towards the ground. He saw the ground coming up and flared, his body horizontal with the ground. He flared far too late though, and hit the ground right in front of Reimu and Tux!

Black Mage slid along the ground, tangled up in his makeshift parachute for about 10 meters before he came to a stop. Cursing to himself at his stupidity for not blocking the ground as he came into land like Fighter would, he got to his feet and used his dagger to cut the makeshift parachute from his feet. The wind picked it up and it blew away, its job done. BM moved next to Reimu and took his casting stance, focusing Black Magic, Attack Magic, around himself, careful not to invade Reimu?s space. Tux stood ready in front of them both, glad to have another ally at his back.

Rugal smiled, happy to witness any form of conflict, admiring the skill and strength of the fighters, slipping his wine as more Wanderers joined in.
He decided againist joining in, it would be too one-sided...

 

[bluerocker]

Caim looked at the credit card in confusion, and tucked it in a pocket. (Drek is JUST THAT GOOD at delivering cards) Caim kept his position though, and was happy to see Tomoya joining in on the battle. It was always a comfort to see other allies by one's side. He gripped his sword tightly and thought to himself,

"Hope you're still looking out for me, dragon. I'm gonna need all the help I can get."

Caim could have sworn he had heard a small chuckle in response, but no one was to be seen. He shrugged, and returned to his stance in the sky.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

The Battle raged on.
Rugal decided to grant Caim's request for help, he was bored anyway.
He took off his jacket, laided it down on a rock, Cracked his neck and strolled onto the battle-field

 

[bluerocker]

Spoiler: diablo

Wait, what? Caim was talking to himself... How would Rugal hear him?

 

[bluerocker]

Spoiler: Diablo

How would your character hear Caim? He was thinking to himself.... Unless Rugal listens to thoughts...

 

[bluerocker]

Spoiler: OOC

Damnit. Forum ate my first post.... sorry!

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Spoiler: Diablo

How would your character hear Caim? He was thinking to himself.... Unless Rugal listens to thoughts...

His Face Betrayed his inter-monolog

 

[bluerocker]

Spoiler: Diablo

I could see Caim grimacing... I'll let you slide on that one. Otherwise, that coincidence was a bit much.

Caim could see the Wanderers closing in, and Caim hurtled towards the combat, slicing his sword in a hard arc, the flames condensing into fireballs and shooting at random enemies. He flapped his wings hard, and was able to force himself back into the sky and away from the enemies.

"COME AND GET IT!" he yelled to the Wanderers. He knew of their affiliation to Tiberius (as per told by the good guys) and he would have no mercy for them.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal, trained in a multi-blend of martial arts, showed both the elegance of a swan and the sheer butality of a shark in combat, delivering bolder crushing blows on the men who tried to take him with swords and axes. He paused and saw the showdown between Chaos and Tux and smiled
"this should be good...", before snapping a enemys neck and used his body to sit down on

 

[Orinon]

Dillon had come up with an idea, he wasn't strong enough to fight these Wanderers, so he was going to help out the other heroes, because he was the only one in the helicopter now.
Dillon had lined up the cross hairs of the scoped air rifle, He had swapped out the Neurotoxin for the Stimpack dart, he was aiming it at Tux.
Once he fired he called up Tux on his iPod
"hey tux,"
"What do you want? I'm a little-OW."
"Yeah I just wanted you to know that you'll be getting hit with a dart, don't worry it has adrenaline, and it'll heal your wounds."
Dillon then hung up, smiling to himself, he then aimed for a new target.

 

[StormShaun]

Tomoya still wondered in the air looking at the on-going battles, he then sighed to himself due to laziness of not joining in, he knew some people counted on him, but he wanted the others to fight without him so that they can become independent and fight by themselves when he disappears back to his normal life, and he still wondered who he shall pass these powers and title onto.
