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

[Sithmorack]

Shadow just sat there for a few seconds, and then he began to chuckle. Soon after that C.J. came to only to see star glasses? C.J. didnt say anything he was just kinda dumbfounded. Taytum on the other hand liked the idea.... but the shape was way out of style. "hahahaha! Our enemies will be killed by laughing before I hahaha can even stab them!!!" Shadow choked out as he laughed. C.J. just went and sat in the corner, he was creeped out by the glasses. Taytum turned to Mark and said "[color=404890]ummm excuse me Mark... but um I like the glasses I do.. but uh.... can they look different?[/color]".

 

[000Ronald]

See what you did there?

Mallicos's eyes widened. Did he just say-

"Are you sure?" Mallicos said, standing and striding over to Jac. "Are you absolutely sure it's alive?"

Capatcha: You're killing me, smalls

 

[Sithmorack]

"[color=404890]These are fine![/color]" Taytum said gleefully as she put them on. "[color=404890]Thank you Mark!!![/color]" she said in a sincere voice. Shadow looked at mark and nodded saying "thank you".

Kyre sat in the corner of the Canteen, near the window, where once a Mage clothed in Red used to frequent. She stared silently into the world as the people began to gather in the Canteen. She chewed softly on a peach, remembering, or rather feeling an apparition of familiarity with this place.

There was then a sudden warbling, and a black liquid dropped down in a pool in front of her. In an instant, Talon and Fang found themselves wedged solidly into the Canteen floor.

A small blobby creature, with a singular green eye raised it's head. The body was made of inky blackness, a thick and viscous liquid. It warbled again, green eye glowing brightly.

"What magic is this!?" Kyre screamed, uncorking one of her vials and throwing it at BlackHarte. The creature grabbed the vial in mid air with it's body, an instant before it exploded, filling the room with a muffled bag, and the smell of bitter almonds.

The creature warbled softly, and looked up at Kyre.

 

[Sithmorack]

C.J. just ignored Mark and kept singing over and over quietly

"[color=002E63]Oh little enemy come out and fight with me
bring your bee-bee gun and we'll have so much fun
I'll shoot your eye out and let you bleed to death
And we'll be enemies, oh, one, two, three, four... [/color]"

Shadow just looked at C.J. And said "there is definitely something wrong with him that is for certain...".

 

[000Ronald]

You just made his day.

Mallicos broke into a wide smile and wrapped his arms around Jac. "That's the best news I've heard in a very long time." Mallicos was happy. Mallicos was genuinely happy. He hadn't felt like this...ever, he thought. He would have to remember this feeling.

Unwrapping Jac, and placing his hands on the young one's shoulders he said, "It calls itself The Rainbow Mantle. And it is my friend. I thought it was dead. Can you tell me how badly hurt it is, maybe how I can bring it back to health?"

 

[NotYetForsaken]

Snip

"...We do not know you," BlackHarte replied confused, his body lurched around to avoid being prodded.

Kyre had backed up onto the wall at this point, and was fumbling with another vial. "Get that disgusting thing away from Kyre!" Kyre screamed in panic. In her terrified state, she had accidentally dropped all pretenses she had built up before hand.

BlackHarte reared up on his hind "legs" and stared at Kyre. "The new master is frightened," he noted, "the new master does not understand us."

 

[Sithmorack]

Shadow stated that he had been tracking down disappearances of large groups of people just vanishing across the globe. Eventually he was lead to C.J's show where he would lure people in only to kill them. He told them about C.J. Somehow teleporting him to this dimension and eventually this plane. "And that is the gist of it." he said finishing his story.

"I...actually can't say. I thought it was Lucifer, but The Rainbow Mantle would've told me that's what was hurting it, I think. No, it had to have been-"

"WHAT MAGIC IS THIS?"

Across the room, a young woman dressed in red jumped out of her chair, staring at a small black creature. Quick as a flash, she threw a small bottle at it, causing a small explosion.

"...something else." Mallicos finished. He silently laughed at the following antics. He had giant scorpions on Nosgoth; some people tamed them and used them as steeds. They didn't talk, true, but Mallicos was in such a good mood that he really didn't care.

 

[Sithmorack]

"hmmm?" Shadow though for a minute before he opened his mouth again and said " I don't care.". "If there is a person controlling my every movement he is doing an OK job... I do not wish to know this person personally anyways." Shadow said as he looked at C.J. . "If YOU want to meet him we can I am neutral on the matter." he said calmly.

"In my world, there are these...beings...we call The Dragons. Some stories say their purpose is to devour the world at the end times, others say they destroy the natural cycle of things."

"The Rainbow Mantle told me-right before he was...this, strangely-that this Lucifer was similar to these dragons."

Mallicos looked Jac straight in the eye. "These dragons...are evil. I have had dreams of them since my youth. I recieved The Rainbow Mantle after killing one of their servants. I can tell you, without question, that they feed off of fear and hate and despair."

"What I'm saying, friend, is that if you are telling me that a walking engine of destruction that feeds on the suffering of the greatest of all men is...misunderstood? You will have to forgive me if I'm skeptical."

Mallicos nodded. "Yes. Unspeakably so."[footnote]

Spoiler: Ooh! Another opportunity to talk about the world I helped make!

A funny thing about the things that destroyed Mallicos's world (we'll call them either The Horrors or The Dragons from now on); they find it easier to take on a form that the person who sees them will understand. It makes them easier to manipulate.

The Gaia, on the other hand? Doesn't bother with such pretenses. It doesn't matter what you think of The Gaia, but what you do. It's a very subtle distinction; it's also something that exists in folklore. The Devil lures you in by appearing as an attractive woman or a man in a business suit; God simply Is.

Although, if pressed, Mallicos would say that The Gaia appears to him as a sprouting seed made of holy light.

C.J. Was suddenly behind Mark and Shadow looking at picture. "[color=002E63]I like the picture.... wanna see mine?!?![/color] he said with a wry smile. He disappeared for a second and re appeared a few seconds later with a bag. He reached in searching through lots of pictures until he found what he was looking for. He pulled it out and showed it to the two. It was a picture that read in bold at the top "Mark", it showed a picture of a person limbs torn to pieces torso torn in half and intestines laid out to spell "DEAD". "[color=002E63]You like it?!?![/color]" he said with a huge grin. The worst part was he was actually a good artist so it made the pictures even more grotesque.

Mallicos nodded. "I'll trust your judgement."

Spoiler: More world building! Yay!

The thing about The Dragons is, even being a weakened state, they're still overpowering to most people. Even Mallicos can't stand against them himself. One tenth of Cthulhu is still one tenth of Cthulhu.

And Mallicos will be able to identify that. He won't feel the overpowering sense of dread and terror that accompanies them. He'll say it might look vaguely like a dragon, but it's not nearly as big or powerful.

Oh yeah, these dragons are massive, too. Not quite skyscraper-sized, but good twenty-stories tall.

So yeah. That's...that's a thing.

 

[Sithmorack]

C.J. Immediately took offense. How dare someone insult his artwork!!! He teleported back to his spot and beta to scribble furiously. Shadow turned to Mark and said "let's try not to piss of the crazy psychotic teleporting man hmm?".

"Rotten." Mallicos said. "Compared to the places I've seen today, I know my world is rotten. Corrupted. Spoilt. On some level, there is something fundamentally wrong with Nosgoth, although I cannot say what."

"Violence covers the land like a blood-spattered cloak. Men, elves, orcs, and vampires fight and die and fight and die and fight and die and fight again. It is as ceaseless as it is senseless. Shortsightedness and hubris rule my people with an iron fist; they march to war too readily, too swiftly, and without considering the consequences; likewise the people they call enemies are ruled by cowardace and greed, unwilling to change for fear of losing their stature. Every moment, every breath, someone dies, and is risen to die again. For nothing."

"The Dragons prowl the land, devouring all they come across, leaving naught but calamity and devastation in their wake. They spawn warriors; the bones of great heroes, trapped within their armor, set against the world. These warriors have great strength, greater even than my own. They, in turn, spawn armies, and set them against all things that seek to reach for the sky. Be it human, animal, even plant, it is not safe from the wrath of The Dragons. So they fight back, and in the process, come into conflict with one another."

"But...it is not as hopeless as I make it seem. Life is difficult, but every moment is unspeakably precious. Companionship is hard to find, but easy to keep. Even enemies need not be enemies if they are willing to listen to reason. More an more, communication is coming before agression, to the benifit of all those willing to communicate with one another. All peoples, all peoples are coming together and finding common ground between them."

"All things are ready to rise up and strike against all that would hold it down. An unyielding force is being collected by The Gaia; we will be heard, and we will be victorious. This change that everyone is afraid of is rising like the incoming tide; all those that do not move with it will be washed away. It is just not...complete. Yet."

Mallicos sighed deeply. "Does that answer your question?"

 

[000Ronald]

Mallicos nodded gently in agreement. "Eventually. Yes."

 

[bluecrimson]

Slindis rubbed her left arm as she heard Mallicos talk about his home. How long had it been since she saw the crystal-clear waters of Stormreach's harbor or the warm fields of the Cerulean Hills? She sighed and smiled, especially when she thought of all the people she knew were waiting for her when she got back home. There were still a few major issues that needed to take care of there, but her friends and the small group that was like family to her were trustworthy and could take on any issue they were faced with or at least hold out for some time.

Since Jac and Mallicos were having a intense discussion, she decided to move over to that deathclaw and the human to have someone to talk with. [color=c20000]"So, what exactly is that slime? Please tell me there's a way to keep it away from my weapons, Lilith"[/color] The deathclaw could tell that something was on her mind to make her be concerned.

After a hour or so, Darren creeped out of the Chilled Room, making sure he was alone before slowly creeping out of the room.
He needed to A: find a bathroom, he was bursting to go and if possible B: find a spoon, that Ice cream seemed like the only food on the whole plane.
Least the only one he could get to without getting killed.
And thus he sneaked around out of the cargo bay...

 

[Sithmorack]

Shadow was not thrilled about getting out of a cramped plane and into a Limousine. Of course he was going to get into it anyways. The real problem was getting C.J. into it. "Get in!" Shadow ordered C.J., the only reply being "[color=002E63]NO[/color]". This eventually turned into,

"GET IN", "[color=002E63]NO[/color]", "GET IN", "[color=002E63]NO[/color]", "GET IN", "[color=002E63]NO[/color]".

"THATS IT YOUR GETTING IN THE CAR NOW!!!", "[color=002E63]NOOOaaaaaAAAHH[/color]" C.J. started to yell as Shadow picked him up and threw him in the car. Only to have him bust through the other side. Shadow just sighed picked him up and threw him in. Shadow sat in the middle Taytum on his left and C.J. on his right. Both wanted to sit RIGHT next to him. C.J. to annoy him and Taytum well because I dont know. Anyways Shadow was feeling very cramped and unhappy as the Limousine took off.
