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

[Daft Sikes]

KOOPA STOMP.... Just kiddin'

Hadrian eyed the turtle floating in front of him with amusement.

"And a hello to you too, little one." He patted the flying creature on the head, smiling. "And what might your name be?"

Spoiler: OOC

Eh, I'll stay up for a bit longer.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Smart arsed comment incoming!

Akane laughed and lurched forward, Gabs stepping in with her.

"Well, my father always told me that Mother was helping with the harvest when she was carrying me... they never did say where I was born, exactly. But enough of that.

Gabrielle, Aftan. You two are my closest friends, people I trust more than anything. And people I love more than anything else in this world and the world's beyond. Why the fuck aren't we hugging for this? Come here!" Akane said lovingly as she rambled, drunk as a skunk.

She pulled Gabs and Aftan into a big hug before beginning to cry. It wasn't sad or mournful, but tears of happiness.

"I love you both! Don't ever leave me!"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Trust me, I'm a professional!

"If I didn't then why would I get in it then?" David answered as he hit "Simple Mode", allowing him to fly it without crashing.
The Ship took off from the Hanger and flew over the ashes of the Holy Land towards Ken's Lair.
After a awkward silence, David hit the radio.
Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free-Bird" Came on.
".....Well that sets the mood....."

 

[Daft Sikes]

I'm pretty sure I remember a few of the winged ones being able to breathe fireballs, I think.

Hadrian avoided the blast of flame by cocking his head to the side, maintaining the smile that was on his face.

"Okay, Cadolbolg," He gave a nod, after straightening his head. "My name is Hadrian Selene. It's nice to meet you."

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Enter Sandman.

As Gabrielle snuck away from her partners to clean up the showers from her mayhem, another being opened a portal from the Rising Dawn, a rip in the fabric of space and time. Gabrielle emerged from the shadows in the locker room to find it in perfect condition, not a single piece out of place. She surveyed the room, spotting a figure standing in the doorway to the showers, his portal to someplace else still open.

"It's you..." she gasped, preparing a shadow kunai.

"Stand down young Knight, I am not here for you. I have already taken my souls, those who belong rightfully in Hell. I just did a little cleaning whilst I was here too." The Grim Reaper, Jack said in his gravelly voice.

"This ship was at one point, my home too. Nothing much has changed... BlackHearte still roams the ship, keeping her safe. But she has no Captain. Dillon and Amaya are gone. And with my job done, so must I too leave. Do not worry, it was only the demons I have taken, your friends are all safe. Keep Akane safe... She's like a daughter to me. Farewell, Gabrielle D'arcangelo, until we meet again..." Jack said sadly as he stepped through his portal, closing the road to Hell as he passed through.

Gabrielle turned into the shadows and returned to the bed with her two lovers, her cleanup job done for her.

Akane and Aftan snuggled back up to her as she returned to them, both still dreaming.

"Because men like me ain't allowed to live after something like that...Did you know that Russia wants me for War Crimes now? That's not the sort of thing you run away from. Besides...You want that bastard to live?..." David coldly answered before getting back to humming the song.

 

[Daft Sikes]

Oh?

Hadrian's smile faltered. He squinted his eyes, put a pinky into his ear, seeming to clean it, before pulling it out. He turned his head, so that his right ear was facing Cadolbolg.

"Come again?"

As Gabrielle returned to Aftan and Akane, The door suddenly opened.
"Hey Gabby, Akane. Come on, Blade found another crate of-" Jenny slurred as she walked in, then realising what she was walking into.
"....OHMYGOD! I'M SO, SO, SO SORRY JUST I-...AND.....I'LL LEAVE NOW!" She quickly stammered before walking over, nearly falling as she did.
She returned a second later to pick up a bottle she had dropped.
"...Sorry..."

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Well this is going to make for an interesting breakfast conversation!

Accept your fate. Touch Fluffy Tail

Akane rolled over as Jenny burst in and created a huge commotion. Her ear perked as she cracked an eye at the flustered pokemon.

"Eh? Blade found a stash of what? Why are you blushing? Oh wait, we're all naked, heh. Boobies. Snugggles. Sleep...." Akane said before yawning and falling back to sleep with her Knights.

 

[Daft Sikes]

"Are you here to join us and defeat evil?'

Hadrian looked at Cadolbolg, frowning slightly.

"I... I'm not so sure yet," He leaned back on the chair and steepled his hands together. "What exactly is this evil you are speaking of?

"A supernatural being bent on destroying the universe, a mage who wishes to devour everyone's souls and grow in power, or are you simply a group dedicated to eradicating this world of all things that are considered "evil?""

Status Update

"You don't get it, once the natural order of the world is restored, I'll have half the entire world on my ass. If it wasn't for the monster's I'd be dead already, these people know how to do their job and their job is killing. And if I'm going to die, I'm making sure that prick dies too." David explained as they made their way over the sea along the coast of Italy.
They would be in France in half an Hour.

Back to Tomoya and Yu.

After having the Red Bull, Yu got back most of his energy and woke up. Soon after both the Red Bulls got hit. The both of them sighed and Tomoya gave Gabrielle the bird. The two suddenly bought out a 6 pack of Pepsi Max each. Surprised about this they looked directly at each other with roaring eyes. "I see you like them too..." Tomoya said to Yu, "After I got here, I liked the taste." Yu said busting out one of the six cans, Tomoya did the same and they started at each other.

A shield surround them made of lightning as they both popped the tops of the can and started to immediately drink the can as fast as they could.

David pondered Charile's offer, would he be safe?.
"...As much as I'd like to believe that, I know better. The only thing stopping every secret sociality in the world from killing each other the lack of a reason. Give someone or some-group a reason and that's how shit like this happens." He answered as he checked for a place to land.
"I'm not walking away from this. Even if I live though this attack, I'm dead. Only thing that changes is how and I'd rather leave on my terms."

David set the ship down a few miles from the castle.
"I know these people, I was one of them. They just don't give a fuck. In fact, they hoard all of the fucks they could possibly give in a massive vault and jump into it Scrooge McDuck style for shits and giggles. If they want you, They will find you. I'm doing you favour." He said as he climbed into the back of the ship and started gearing up for the battle ahead.
He wore the C4 Vest under his running top before grabbing his M500 Revolver, his Fury Machine Pistol and his trademark Anti Material Rifle.
"And she told me her name was Elena. I'm not calling her Door...Now the talking is over, Lets move..." He coldly added as he marched towards the castle.

 

[bluerocker]

Ah, he loves her despite the bitchiness... Maybe.

Caim's face remained blank at the mention Angelus' form, but the fox could have sworn gained the slightest amount of color at the notion of Akane's idea of "TLC". With a nod to the duo; he walked off after the angry dragon.

Dream time for Puce and Kuru!

As Puce and Kurumu slept, a dream unlike any other formed in their minds.

The scene took place in some location unknown to Puce and Kurumu. It was in a child's room, with strange do dads and decorations covering every inch of wall, and a small bed with an equally minute form rising and falling under several layers of covers. On the bed, several stuffed animals made their home on the covers; with one in particular sitting at the child's head. It was a green creature with a yellow hooded cloak, a knife and lantern in it's hands. It's beady yellow eyes watched the room silently, looking almost as if it were alive.

However, the peaceful scene was not to last, as a creature of shadows descended upon the room, wisps of darkness coming from the child's closet and from underneath the bed. It rose to it's full height, it's features not remaining the same for long. A claw, a mass of tentacles, fangs; it shifted between different forms that inspired threats and the rending of flesh. However, as it drew near the child, the green creature sprung to life, and pounced upon the shadowy being, the knife drawn and lantern swinging in the air. So began the battle.

The being of shadows was ducking and weaving as the small creature kept chopping at it with the knife; which seemed to cause the shadow creature pain, despite the knife being made of fabric. It retaliated in kind, and tried to swipe at the stuffed animal's chest, only to be rewarded with a knife to the hand. With a blood-curdling scream, the being drew back, as ichor began to run from it's wound. As the being drew back, the small creature waved it's lantern and called in a reverberating, masculine voice:

"Everybody's Grudge!"

Blackish-blue flames flew at the shadow being and hit it dead on, with the demon (for lack of a better phrase) screeching in pain as it was perforated by the flames; and began to withdraw back a little bit. The green creature's lantern seemed to glow, despite its construction, and the plush animal held up it's knife. It began to mutter something, and walk slowly towards the weakened shadow being. However, that was when the being began to laugh. A dark, evil and terrible sound, which was followed by a voice that sounded like the knashing of teeth and the grinding of metal,

"SO, LITTLE GUARDIAN, YOU THINK YOU HAVE MATCHED ME AS YOU HAD MY BRETHERN? YOUR POWERS MAY BE GREAT, BUT YOU UNDERESTIMATE ME."

The little creature did not pay attention to the being's words, and finished it's chant, the blade now giving off a small whispering of it's own. The creature approached, and said, "You will pay for your attempts upon The Mistress. Return from whence you came, shadow being. CHEF'S KNIFE!"

That was when other shadows began to pour out from under the bed, their presence being masked by the distraction the greater demon caused. The creature panicked, and shot his blade forward, and found his blade had vanquished one of the lesser beings instantly, as opposed to the leader as he had planned. As the shadows began to overwhelm and cover him, he saw the leader slink back into the darkness of the closet, it's grating voice saying,

"I WILL BE BACK FOR YOU AND YOUR MISTRESS, LITTLE GUARDIAN. JUST YOU WAIT..."

As the creature flailed and attempted to free himself from the hoard, his vision grew darker and darker. In moments, even the lantern went out...

That was when Puce and Kurumu felt a THUMP on their bed, followed by a "MISTRESS!!!"

When Puce bolted up, he saw the green creature from his dreams; save it looked more alive than before. Instead of fabric, the creature looked covered in scales, and it's equipment looked very real; the knife especially.

The creature looked up at the two befuddled, and said, "Hello..."

Spoiler: Ton Ton!

Name: Ton Ton
Species: Tonberry
Age: 9 (mental equivalent of 16-17)
Alignment: Neutral Good

Backstory: In a realm outside of AA; a child purchased a stuffed Tonberry from the Internet, and cherished the doll as if it was a real object of flesh and blood, giving it a name, gender and 'life'. Treated with respect and adoration, the child's love for the doll allowed it to gain sentience and took it upon himself to protect the girl who had treated him so kindly. However, he kept his sentience secret; for he did not wish to scare his owner, The Mistress (as he called her). Thus, for many years, the creature kept a silent vigil over his charge, battling away nightmares and various beings lurking in closets as The Mistress slept, unconditionally and faithfully.

However, this was not to last for long. As The Mistress slumbered, a powerful creature sought to attack her dreams, and instill great and terrible nightmares into the slumbering girl. Ton Ton fought valiantly, and wounded the being with his knife and lantern; however, it was for naught.

AA Backstory: In the creature's retreat, it summoned a horde of it's minions and dragged the Tonberry into darkness. When he awoke, he was in a strange land, and in the stead of felt skin and faux objects, a blade of steel and a blue glassed, iron wrought lantern were in his hands; and scales covered his brow. Ton Ton was shocked by the developments, and was fearful for his Mistress. Had the demon sought to attack her again? What would become of her?! Thus, the Tonberry quests to find a way back home, and into the loving arms of the one to whom he owes his life.

Abilities and Assests: As per AA's strange nature, and the beliefs of the Mistress, Ton Ton has been able to retain certain abilities associated with Tonberries:

Uniform and Equipment: Ton Ton has entered AA in a light brown robe, carrying a lantern and a small knife. The lantern always burns, and never goes out so long as Ton Ton wills it. The knife has a keen edge, and does not dull.

High Vitality: Like many other Tonberries, Ton Ton is able to take many hits; with an HP count of 9999 (if HP were to be applicable in AA).

Everybody's Grudge: A powerful attack, Everybody's Grudge utilizes negative energy and channels it back at the attacker, creating as much damage as the number of enemies (be they human or other) Ton Ton's attacker has defeated. However, this attack can only be used after Ton Ton has been hit.

Chef's Knife: Easily the strongest attack in his arsenal; Ton Ton calls upon The Mistress, and uses his combined faith and her adoration to instill the Knife with an attack that can kill weaker enemies instantly. However, on stronger enemies, it will only damage them. Either way, it is accompanied by a "DOINK" sound upon contact, and is very precise; regardless of the enemy's movements. Given the Nature of this attack, it requires some time to charge, and will leave Ton Ton unable to use Everybody's Grudge, and only tank the hits directed his way.


Weaknesses: Ton Ton has two in particular, one tying to his faith in the Mistress, and the other in his limits in strength.

1) Because his faith and persistence in fighting for The Mistress has caused Ton Ton to gain power in the AA verse, if his faith in her falters, his strength does as well. This can be seen physically with how bright the flame in his lantern burns. Furthermore, if he loses his faith completely, he will revert back to his original form; stuffed implements and all.

2) Even when holding the Mistress in high esteem, Ton Ton is forced to become his original self 1 hour everyday. Why this is, he is not certain; but in this form, Ton Ton is at his most vulnerable. His weapons have no use, and his strength is diminished against creatures of flesh and blood. However, he is still able to combat spirit/demonic beings that cause nightmares, as he did before coming to AA. But those are few and far between in a realm of everything and anything.

Spoiler: stuffed animal form

[Daft Sikes]

Well, I did intend to simplify it if he didn't get it at first.

Hadrian was silent for a moment, before giving a huff. The topic change made him feel a bit bitter. He leaned an elbow on the table, looking less talkative than before.

"I don't have a family. Not anymore, at least."

His ear twitched, hearing something akin to a cry for help. He looked at the door to the canteen, considering to investigate.

Blade was sleeping off the Sake when he heard footsteps in the Canteen.
His vision was blurred as he made out the figure walking towards him.
"uuuuuhhhhh Jenny?.....That you?..." He asked as he slowly began to see the Red and Blue of the figure's clothes.
"...Try Again...."
"...errrrr alright, Angelus....Caim......That new guy?"
The Figure finally came into focus, Blade just spent the last god only knows how long fighting the worst of the worst, Monsters, Bruiser, Hell itself.
But he was never more afraid for his life as he was now.

"...Remember me?..."
Blade went into a total state of shock, unable to move in the slightest as Hiryu smelt the Sake.
"................I can explain...."
To make matters worse, Jenny wobbled in, even more far gone then he was before falling on the sofa.
And so the Master and his student maintained their staring contest.
".............."
".............."

Daniel was walking through the ship with Lily, having explained to her the entire situation between herself and him. She was a bit curious and understood most of it, them finally coming to the canteen and finding Hiryu and Blade locked in motionless staring. "Whats going on here? Blade? and Hir-Hiro, no... thats not it... Hira, Hire, Hiry... thats closer... Hiryu! thats what it was. Been so long since i've seen you in this universe. Well, you wouldn't know me. Maybe you might have heard of Lily through Kaz though..." Daniel Began speaking out loud.

"Ohhh! preety pokemon!" Lily said and ran over to blade, hugging him. She had learned about them in japan, hell with Kazuya she had an entire room dedicated to them.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

He doesn't like you...

Hiryu didn't respond to Daniel's words, nor Blade to Lily's hug.
".........."
.....This can't get any worse....
Daniel began to try to get Hiryu's attention, waving his hand in of his face and snapping his fingers.
".....Please stop doing that...." He said before he kept staring at Blade.
".....Well, Katana?....I'm waiting...." He added as Lily kept hugging Blade.
