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

[zombiekiller1907]

Dylan continues roaming inside the ship, looking for whoever's inside
"Hello? anyone here???"
As he walked around, thoughts came into his head.
"Jeez... what a big ship... I wonder what kind of people are in here... maybe they're aliens.., or maybe space pirates... or both... maybe they're evil people who brought me here to make me their lunch. On second thought, I shouldn't have come here without making sure that this is a ship for good guys... how troublesome..."
He gulped and readied himself for any attackers as he continued looking around the ship.

Red steeled suddenly, his eyes were flat, more serious. "A fool," he repeated, "I have misjudged the two of you then." He turned to the window and pressed a manicured hand on the cold glass, "If you think me a fool for trusting in myself, then what is a person who trusts another? Or one who trusts no one?" He shook his head and walked up to the two girls, "I am the last of the Red Magi, alive by virtue of Fate's own hand." He placed two ruby dice on the table, each of them ten sided and numbered, "If fate decrees I die, then I die. If fate decrees you die, then you die. I am not full of myself any less than you are for thinking yourself in charge of destiny. This world runs on numbers, and by people who control forces greater than your imagination."

The two girls looked at him angrily for interrupting their conversation. Neither said a word.

"I shall prove myself to you during the fight ahead mayhaps," Red turned toward the door and waved off-handedly, "I must thank you for your food, but you no longer have my courtesies. You are a teammate now, and know this. A teammate is there to be used, whether resources need to be pilfered from her or flesh demanded as sacrifice. If you have no likeness for me, then I shall not return any."

He then turned the corner toward the hanger in a flurry of red fabric.

"Red, that was rude."

"Serves them right, let those lovers have their way."

"TABBY! That was inappropriate!"

---​

In his anger, Red slammed into another body and sent it sprawling backwards.

The mage grunted and looked down at the thing. He flipped his die in his hand and felt the 20 in the smooth surface. There was a young boy at his feet, no more than sixteen, and of Japanese decent. Red smiled, putting up his facade yet again and reached out his hand.

"How can I help you Dylan?"

 

[zombiekiller1907]

"Wh-what? how do you know my name?"
Dylan stared at red for a while
"You don't look much like a bad guy... or maybe i'm just naive. Who are you, and who made that mess in Paris?"

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

"Red, that was rude."

"Serves them right, let those lovers have their way."

"TABBY! That was inappropriate!"

Akane scowled at the leaving uptight mage. She toyed with the idea of setting his coat on fire, but it was probably better that she did not.

"Good riddance. Until he proves himself otherwise, a Witch and a Fool he is." Akane said out loud to no one in particular. Cocking her head slightly, her eyes narrowed.
"No one is to trust that thing. There are another two spirits with him, shadowy things with magic powerful. He is no true ally, only a deciever and showman. He will have a reason for coming here, and it will be linked to his own gain." Akane announced to everyone, several balls of blue foxfire dancing around her head and shoulders. The fire disappated and Akane turned back to Aftan.

"If you feel something is missing, than perhaps a journey to the spirit worlds could be in order. It would not be an easy task to undertake, and we would need a fair amount of time and a safe place, for our mortal bodies would be unwatched and open for all to hurt. And you may uncover horrors best left alone..." Akane mused to Aftan, her brow furoughed.

 

[NotYetForsaken]

The mage grabbed the boy by his shirt collar and pulled him to his feet, "I'm Red, and the hands of fate whispered me your name," he dusted Dylan off and patted him on his head, "you are among friends here young technopath. We are hunting the beast that leveled this city. Head down this hallway and take the door into the room with the smell of food. You will meet more in there."

Red moved quickly down the hallway after that, leaving the boy dazed and alone.

 

[zombiekiller1907]

Dylan was confused and speechless about what just happened.
"Just who was that guy? How come he knows me? I guess he's a magician or something like that. He seemed nice, so I guess there's nothing to worry about."

He followed what Red said and went inside the canteen. He saw the others, and he didn't know whether to start running or not. Nervously, he tried to introduce himself.
" *ahem* uuhh... hi there... I was wondering if this is the group who saved me... thanks by the way for not leaving me there...
Is there anyone I can talk to here? Your captain or leader?"
"well, this is awkward."
"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Dylan Ishikawa, yoroshiku onegaishimasu."

*Puce looked surprised at the cool reception that news of Taokaka's death was received by her 'friends' and 'teammates.' Inside, he felt appalled and wondered if they had even noticed Kurumu and his disappearance over the last few months. Never the less, Puce maintained his silence, talking very little while Kurumu got caught up on the events that had happened with the group.*

"Angie! I think you look great as a human. I hope you don't take offense to this but I think your hair could use some ribbons."*The Wooden Succubus said as she fingered the ribbons in her own hair.*

"I don't think that Caim would mind you prettying it up a bit."*She grinned as Caim tried to mouth his indifference to how Angelus appeared in her human form.*

Angelus took in Puce's expression as Kurumu was speaking of hair ribbons, and addressed the man directly; her gaze being both inhuman and piercing, "Do not look down upon us, Puce. Death is but a part of life. Caim and I have come to terms with that, and we do not allow such things to break us. Yes, it a spirit dampening thing for such a young girl to have her life reach an end at the hands of a great and terrible beast; but we must continue in our mission."

Words of an old beast, voiced by a mind weary of many years of existence. The hard glare dropped after she finished, and then returned to Kurumu's musing; "Sorry about that. As for you, I like my appearance as is; but perhaps restraining the hair before battling would be useful. I wouldn't like this mop to get in the way whilst I tried preform some kind of operation in this form... Perhaps I should cut it? Caim, what do you think?"

The swordsman only leaned against the wall, as Angelus was occupied with Kurumu, and waved a dismissive hand; "

Do what you want, dragon. It's your body.

Outside of his typing, Angelus received a quiet message, hidden from the other two, "But, for what it's worth. I don't like your idea of cutting it. It would lose that red at the edges..."

That was when the quartet felt the jerk of the ship, and they looked outside to see the wrecked Paris.

Dillon suddenly awoke.
"What the hell is going on here?" he screamed at no one. he made his way to the bridge
"You guys are trying to get us killed or something?" he wasn't shouting but his voice had a lot of intensity so Jenny was a bit scared, however Dillon wasn't in the mood for excuses he took the wheel and turned off autopilot. he began moving easily with no harsh turns.
"No wonder, you made it think it was in combat. Dillon said aloud.
with someone who knew how to fly the ship at the helm the airship glided gracefully with no tilts and jerks noticeable. Dillon then set a destination and set it to hover.
"Don't touch anything." he instructed Blade and Jenny.
Dillon then went to the Canteen, he was still feeling that aggression, nothing seemed to work, he just wanted to fight, to hurt something. he entered the canteen HE saw the others, and he could feel there bickering. All it told him was he might get an excuse.
Dillon sat down at the canteen with Coca Cola and pizza, He was close to Aftan and Dylan.
"SO we have another Dylan on this ship eh?"
Dillon laughed, he was strange he seemed slightly out of control, but his eyes had no change.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Jenny looked down once Dillon ranted at her for nearly crashing the ship.
"Sorry, I was only trying to..." she managed to say before Dillon left the Bridge.
At the very least, they were on the trail of the Monster and would reach it at any moment.

Adel marched out of the ruins of Beijing, hot on the trail of whatever set off the city's population like that.
The drink had worked itself out of his system, but the anger remained.
He figured whatever caused this would be good for taking his mind off his fathers killers.

Snip

All the way, he felt eyes on him...
When will that Cyborg freak get the message?...

 

[Ninjamedic]

Akuma simply followed Adel from a distance. Lets see if he wants to improve himself.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Snip

As Adel reached the outskirts Shanghai, the sound of footsteps alongside his own finally drove him over the edge.
He stopped and turned around and said "I know you are there Metal Head...".

 

[Ninjamedic]

"Well its nice to know you're wit is still there. Pity your unwilling to be any more than a clown". Akuma was still unimpressed with Adel's display.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"Well its nice to know you're wit is still there. Pity your unwilling to be any more than a clown."

Adel snapped at that remark.
"You know what?...Fuck it, All you have EVER done is insult me. You want my "Potential" you metal fuck?! WELL, BRING IT ON!" He shouted as he tore his jacket off, revealing his muscle vest.
Akuma froze for a moment at the resemblance:

Adel shouted as he jumped in with a high kick aimed for Akuma's face.

 

[Ninjamedic]

Yes.....


"THIS is what you should strive to achieve!"


He stepped back and Shoryukened Adel.

"You wish to avenge your father yes?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"THIS is what you should strive to achieve!"

Adel walked into the Shoryuken, taking it straight in the chin, but instead of being struck back by it, it took it like a brick at a wall.
A moment passed as Akuma tried to get the follow though, only for Adel to violently shift his head, knocking away Akuma's arm in a impressive show of force.
"I WISH...for you to Shut Up!" he retorted before firing off a "REPPU-KEN!".

 

[Ninjamedic]

Akuma only grinned at Adel's abilities. "Even better than I suspected."

The fireball engulfed the Repuuken as it blazed towards Adel.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"Even better than I suspected."

Adel threw out a "Dark Barrier..." with a somewhat bored look on his face, sending the fireball back to it's caster.

Akuma easily sidestepped it as Adel shouted "Jesus H. Christ! What the hell was that? You saw that shit coming! And you ***** about 'ME' not living up to my Potential!"
He dashed in and used "GENOCIDE CUTTER!".

 

[Ninjamedic]

"Naive Child....."

Akuma bypassed Adel as he was in mid-air, giving Akuma time to charge.

"This is merely child's play".

Crimson flames enveloped his hand....

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Adel took the entire Gou-Shoryu to chest, knocking him into the mud.
He wiped his face as Akuma shook his head in disapproval.
"Don't get the wrong idea..." He said as a red aura began to form.
"...I'm just getting started..." He added before went in for a low kick.
