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

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Blade listened to Kurumu's tales.
"Well, Last I heard Bison was locked up in a US Federal Prison, Why US I don't know. As for Twist Metal, Never heard of it, though I can somewhat agree with Puce's anger. Dillon tortured my Master once."
He perked up when he heard them talk about Angelus and Caim.
"Heh, Yep, they're still around..."

Daniel watched Jenny walk away, but heard lopez's comment. "I don't think i'll need you for this." he replied.

"Ofcourse you d- wait a minute... You know that's pokecest!" Lopez said, beginning to freak out.

"Fuck all else if it is."

"Man, i still can't believe you just fell for a pokemon like that. I don't mean like that, i meant just all of a sudden. Wait... if you don't need me then..." Lopez said, then there was a pop. Just like that the bucket's self consciousness was gone.

"i wonder if that means that Dani is a lesbian? what do you think lope- oh... right." he said then finished patching himself up before heading off to engineering.

New York Ruins
Bruiser stared blankly at the sun after being sent though god only knows how many buildings.
For the first time in his entire life, he felt weak.
All the working out, all the dieting, all he did to become strong and now nothing to show for it.
He took shallow breaths as he bled heavily from the stumbs where his arms used to be.
A Helicopter flew overhead, bearing the Advanced Ideas Mechanics Logo.
It landed nearby and several men jumped out:

They set up a perimeter around Bruiser as one patted him down for the sample.
Finding it in his pocket, He pulled out a radio and said "AIM Unit D-10 to Director, Sample obtained with no interference, but what about the body?..."

"Bring him in, While he is far from...well, anything, The brute did nearly kill several of the Rising Dawn in battle..."

"Yes Sir, All D Units prep for Evac...."

 

[Orinon]

Dillon was in the lounge of the Rising Dawn, Bruiser had awoken and so he had been able to awake himself.
Dillon sighed, he used to have problems reading emotions but he was getting better at it, and he knew that the group was going to turn on him.
well he had is own plans.
as Blade was telling the others all about how Dillon tortured, he grimaced, he didn't like admitting that.
He arrived to the hangar, he was in full combat gear with both swords.
"SO talking about me behind my back eh? I warned you already Blade maybe I need to teach you a thing or two."
Dillon's eyes were visible for now and there was no sing of yellow, neither did he have elongated canines, this wasn't any sort of madness he was in control but he was pi$$ed off, and rightly so.

 

[NotYetForsaken]

Red Mage stood up and gave another courteous bow. "As is the wish of those I serve," he replied. Red grabbed and sandwich and started to nibble on it. "I'm going to be honest," he said between bites, "I did not expect to find a kitsune here, and so many others." He looked over Akane at Aftan.

The fox-girl looked at him silently.

"Nor did I mean to be so very polite," he continued, "I came here because I sensed an old aura. One that I seem to have left unfinished in the past. To me, there are often formalities I am forced to observe."

Red's eyes turned brown, "Most of the time I'd really rather not."

There was a hushed whisper in Red's ear and his eyes returned to their dazzling green. He shook his head an finished his sandwich, "There is great evil afoot, even in this place."

The fox-girl continued to stare at him.

Red smiled kindly, his eyes closed as a sign of trust, "Yet all of this is painfully boring to you isn't it?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Blade was rather concerned.
"Dillon...What are you doing?..." he said as he eyed up his two swords.

Jenny meanwhile was in the bridge about to set a course for Paris.

All in favour of Paris next?

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Polietly rude snip

"Yes, Red Mage, this is boring me and my patience for you is growing thin. I am a Kitsune, a trickster when I get bored, not a Sphinx. Please do not play riddles and games with me, formalities or no. Who's aura did you sense and therefore who is it you are looking for?" Akane asked the Mage, keeping a hand free to use her foxfire. She did not trust this mysterious stranger at all, he seemed as slippery as could be.

 

[Orinon]

Dillon got very lose to blade.
"Don't try anything like this again, let me remind you Hiryu didn't see it coming."

Dillon then made his way to the training room, he had been working on upgrading some communications, using his golden Ipod he planned on serving as a director helping the team co-ordinate their attacks, he would jump in but only if the really needed him they were usually able to handle the situation without him. once that was done h went into the training room, he didn't understand why but he was feeling a lot of anger lately. and he just wanted to start hurting things, he tried to exhaust it out through training but it didn't work.

 

[NotYetForsaken]

Snip!

Red Mage lost his smile, "Too direct, you're no fun." The mage turned to face the bridge of the ship, he sighed softly, "There is one here, a petulant child who suffers from a great many disturbances."

"Get on already," Akane snapped at him.

"Dillion, the young master," Red replied not unkindly.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

"Though I have only met him once, when I made my arrival chasing down Arch Angel Tomoya Okazaki, he seems nice on the outside. His spirit is very troubled though." Akane offered back to Red Mage, her tone softening now that the conversation was going places.

She closed her eyes and focused upon Dillion, finding his anger and rage easy to pinpoint in the airship.

The Kitsune opened her eyes and looked deep into Red Mage's eyes. "So what do you propose to do to the Captain of this ship? Though he may be troubled, we do not have the right to interfere, do we?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Blade was calming himself down as Dillon walked away, The Rising Dawn Captain was a wild card, it seems he would shank you in a heartbeat if he felt that he needed to.
Ironically, this was why the Striders wanted a Eye and Ear on him, if he wanted to, Dillon could start a war with the Striders and, with people in his crew, Win.
Despite what he said, The fact that Bruiser attacked and the Monsters all over the world, Blade was determined to feel good about this day.
He lead Puce and Kurumu towards the Med Bay before spitting up with them to go to the bridge to be with Jenny.

Jenny was finalising the course for Paris as he entered.
"Blade? Out of medical so soon?" she asked after sensing that Blade's arm was no longer broken.
"Can thank Aftan's Father for that. Caim should be up and about within the hour." He answered as he walked over to the display that Jenny was working on, Like a Ipad but with Steampunk.
"Oh, that's good. About to set off for Paris and the next monster. More good news, A "Kazuya Mishima" was able to defeat the Monster in Japan. We're nearly done."
A look of concern formed on Blade's face.
"Jenny...If you want to take a break after....Well, no one will mind."
"It's all right, Blade. It happened, I know, but I won't let it stop me. It's almost as if it never happened. I feel the best I have ever been in a long time." She reassured him before finalising the flight to Europe.
Putting a hand on her shoulder, Blade added "As do I. As do I..."

Daniel came out of the work shop and explored around, looking for jenny. He was holding a small box that was made of metal. Upon questioning the others, he eventually made his way to the bridge and found her.

"Hey Jenny." he said approaching her.

"Oh, hello Daniel." she said, surprised to see him.

"I brought you a gift to celebrate beating that asshole." he said holding out the box.

"what is it?" She asked then opened the box. In it was a crystal necklace that accented her green perfectly.

Spoiler: necklace

"It will help you focus your powers even more than you already can and increases the strength of your barriers."

 

[NotYetForsaken]

"I propose that we stand by and watch," the mage answered without a hint playfulness, "the last time that I took action too forcefully, I ended up diffusing myself into the ether."

"Forceful action?" the kitsune asked.

Th Red Mage tipped his hat and let one of his extra arms touch the fox-girl on the forehead. It was a sudden jolt of electricity that hit her, yet it wasn't painful. She could suddenly see a darkness and a twisted version of the boy Dillion. There were flashes of a fight, chains, invisible arms, fire, ice a piano mixed in somewhere. Other people where there as well, a large blonde man with a shining red eye, the blue haired Tomoya, and a few others she couldn't get a glimpse at.

Red pulled that arm from her forehead and the mindlink broke, "I don't recall how the fight ended."

 

[bluerocker]

Hey, I just met you

and this is crazy

But we've shared adventures before.

I should know you (maybe).

Caim's brow furrowed when he saw the Red Mage, and sent to Angelus, "We've met him before, haven't we. A good while back, I think..."

The woman nodded, and sent back, "Yes, before we chased that Akasumi girl and her being a Snake Princess... He was a free spirit, if I remember correctly."

"And he's asking about Dillon, right?"

"*sigh* I'm not surprised. That boy has had his share of issues. Perhaps he rubbed this fellow the wrong way, and thus caused some kind of feud. I advise we stay out of it, even if Dillon is the ship's captain. His affairs are his own; and we've already have enough on our plates as it is."

Caim shrugged in response, and started to get up out of the bed. The dragon did nothing to protest, and aided in helping her stubborn pact partner onto his feet. Caim quickly took Slaughterism and returned it to the weapon wheel[footnote]see page 456, a little of the ways down[/footnote]; the green blade dissipating instantly into thin air. Furthermore, he took his familial blade; alongside his typical clothes and armor, and changed in one of the little curtained booths. Happy to be in his proper equipment again, Caim readied himself to leave, leaning slightly against Angelus for support. Caim didn't like being confined for long.

 

[bluerocker]

I KNOW RIGHT?!!! SOMETIMES I EVEN SURPRISE MYSELF! *Is promptly shot and snipped*

Angelus' face lightened by Aftan's greeting, and gave a murmur of thanks, assuring the Knight that Caim was made of sturdy stuff.

As the two continued walking, they were greeted with the sight of another familiar duo.

"Of course you dolt! They'll remember us like it was yesterday!"

[color=darkblue]"With a set of pipes like that, how could we forget?"[/color]

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Red Snip

Aftan snippy

Akane wasn't shocked by the mindlink, magic was something she was used to. "Well, if that proves true to happen, I trust that you will take action against Dillion, Red Mage? Now, with that out of the way, I need another sammich." Akane said neutrally, nomming yet another sammich. They ate in silence as Caim and Red got up and left, Aftan helping them out.

30 minutes passed before Aftan returned. Akane and Red Mage had simply sat and ate lunch then enjoyed the peace and quiet of the now empty medbay before Aftan returned.

"So what do you think about this man. Personally, I do not trust him. He has not given a direct answer yet."*Aftan whispered to Akane.*

"He has not given a direct answer per se, but he has made his intentions clear to me. It seems he shall fight with us whilst keeping an eye on Dillion. Another adventurer to add to our little band of heroes. His spirit is hard to read though, as if there were two others with him yet not at the same time. He means us no harm... Yet." Akane whispered back.
Red Mage was looking around the room and studying it, oblivious to the two girls whispers. Akane decided to change this, sure he heard every word.

"Ahem... Red Mage. If it is Dillion you are hear to keep an eye on, perhaps you should meet him? I can sense his spirit, it is down in the training room. I could also use some practice with my blade katas, perhaps you could help me there Aftan?"

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

"My swordsmanship is adequate, but I am no master. I have advanced to a level that I am confortable with and profeicant at, but I would like to be better. As it stands, I rely too heavily on my Foxfire... But it is fire!" Akane replied, drawing her katana as Aftan drew her Tonfa.

"I practice my Kata often, but never often enough. Is there any way you can shield or magic your Tonfa so I do not cut them, and do you have any rules you adhere to in sparring?" Akane asked as she took a formal Kendo stance, feet apart and katana held in the front ready position.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

spinny things of doom snip

"You know, that water you carry is lifesaving stuff." Akane stated as she took the initiative, taking two quick steps forward and making a quick thrust and withdraw, aiming not to strike but to feel her opponent's fighting style. Akane was somewhat more fixed in her patterns than Aftan was, and could be read much easier. Aftan declined to block the attack, seeing it adn merely stepping aside.

Keeping both hands on her sword, Akane stepped in again, sword raised high for a diagonal slash downwards. Aftan moved to parry the strike even as Akane changed her grip and circled the downard slash into a medium upwards slash.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

"Hmm, so you prefer speed against a single opponent? How silly of me to open with basic swordfighting technique." Akane said as she stepped back and took a new stance, one with her feet slightly apart and sword held low and to her right side. Aftan awaited the attack, Tonfa idly spinning and keeping her stance open and ready.

Akane shot off the mark, making for a wide open swing from the right before halting the slash and spinning herself backwards, coming into a crouch and lashing forwards with the blade up. Aftan read the move and had changed her block accordingly, bringing the Tonfa down to meet the katana. The blow was soft though, steel barely touching wood as Akane sprang upwards, the crouch giving her the momentum to jump high and backwards. Her katana flashed as Akane kept it in front of her covering her retreat, even as Aftan moved forwards to take the initiative.

The Knight's Tonfa flicked out towards Akane in a rounded blow, fluid and able to still change this late in the move. Akane blocked it with a sweeping circle of her sword as Aftan retracted her weapon only to strike forwards again to parry a thrust from the Kitsune. The contact was light once more as Akane pirouetted away. Aftan moved in once again but was forced to halt as the Kitsune flung up a wall of flame between them, repositioning into her low stance again before dropping the flame wall.

Mere seconds had passed and the battle was on.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Give Jenny the Neckace to Hold?
>Yes
>No

"Really? for me? Awwwww...you shouldn't have..." Jenny swooned as she tried it on.
As she clicked the chain around her neck, she felt her powers grow slightly.
"Wow...Where did you even get this?" she asked as she grew used to the extra sense range.

Blade merely watched, glad Jenny was happy.
