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

[Sigma Castell]

Kate gasped as she woke, lungs heaving as she struggled to breath. She wheezed and spluttered, rolling over and falling off of the steel workbench she had materialized on. She pushed herself to her hands and knees, limbs shaking and spasming. Her pupils contracted until they were tiny black dots in oceans of neon green. The whispers pressed in at the edges of her hearing, muttering and shouting in twisted syllables of black and incomprehnsible, yet at the same time she knew them and they were oh so very [i/]Wrong[/i]. She jerked an arm upwards and grabbed the edge of the steel table, hauling herself to her feet. She gagged as the vertigo hit her, throwing up a bit onto the dull, metal floor. The punding in her head increased, the whispers becomign distinct voices, shouting now. Her vision swam, and half-seen Things crawled just out of her sight. She squeezed her eyelids shut, blood leaking from her left tearduct.

It was always worse after a Jump.

And, just like that, they were gone, the voices reduced to murmers at the back of her mind. She opened her eyes, the world in front of her no longer a twisted, sick reflection. The horrors had retreated, for now.

"Nonsense my child, it was only an accident, now Our Cleric in training, could you see to those two over there? You should be able to handle it no problem" As he waited for a response, the state of Rugal caught his eye. "You know, as a man who abhors unnecessary bloodshed, I can help but take satisfaction from hearing that scream. " The Preacher stopped just for a second to look over Rugal. "The self-made leader of the defenders of earth", he sarcastically remarked.

"Hmm, should I patch him up then? Or would you rather we bring him to the infirmary and let him heal over time. " He noticed Rugal's eye missing. "Well that's severe. I should be able to fix this....."

Teri nodded, and said,

"Do what you can, sir; and we'll send him to the Infirmiry to rest. The same applies for this one."

And with that, the Cleric began to do her best to aid other combatant's wounds, her teacher's work shining through in her care to tend to the wound.

From what the Preacher could see, He was basically bland now, but that was the least on his concerns.
A quick check showed broken bones, internal bleeding, damaged organs, he was a mess.
Normally during a beam or something like that, he'd tense up his muscles to adsorb the force for the most part, this is what happened when he didn't.
Finally, he had several deep cuts across his face and forehead from Lily's attack.

Kate stumbled towards the door and slumped against it, taking stock of her surroundings. She seemed to have landed in some sort of cargo bay. Metal crates were stacked against the walls, and a workbench stood in the centre of the room. A lamp shone on it, casting a brilliant white light and throwing dark shadows across the floor.
Wherever she was, it was definatly not London.
Just as she was contemplating the various ways she would murder the black-market dealer once she tracked him down, the door hissed open behind her, and she fell backwards into the corridor.

Rose had sat down and let Teri do her work on her. "Thank you, you need not help Lily, my friend here; she can regenerate and be fine." the Saiyan said taking a breath of relief. She had many cuts and the skin above her muscles was red and extremely hot, so enough so that there was steam comprised of her sweat coming off of her. Her body was still trying to recover from The kaiokens and the kamehameha wave.

Lily turned her attention to the girl helping them. "Yeah, Rose is right, one of the few perks of being a goddess of death. I'm Lily and this is Rose. May i ask your name?" she asked.

Rose then noticed the preacher looking at Rugal's body. "Get him up and running as quick as you can. I need to speak with him about arrangements."

Teri looked up for a brief moment to give her patient a smile and looked down again, her Tablet's automated voice kicking in:

"My name's Teri. Nice to meet you, Lily and Rose. Now please miss, try to relax. This will sting a bit."

She cleaned her tools again with alcohol, as the blood was making them a bit harder to work with, and went back into work; the alcohol no doubt causing some discomfort in the wounds when Teri went back to her work.

"Now tell me, Rose. Do you know about any other people in the training rooms? My superior sent me to attend to any wounded in this area before returning to my post; and I'd rather not go on a wild goose chase."

Slindis' used room

As Slindis was putting her armor back on, Angelus looked to the ragged Paladin, and asked, "Where are you to now, Slindis? The Med Bay again?"

 

[bluecrimson]

Slindis moved over to aid the two, having seen the badly injured Rugal. [color=c20000]"Hmm. Preacher, get the organs and the bones, I'll start on that bleeding."[/color] She pulled out a wand made of mahogany and a sharp stone knife, gripping it tightly and saying a word of power to cause electricity to run across the bladed area and sanitize it.

She cut open Rugal and put on thin gloves that were reserved for working with internal organs, using the small wand to patch up the torn intestines at each small tear. By itself it wouldn't do much, but the small fixes here and there quickly started adding up. Upon seeing the ruptured gallbladder, she gripped the blade again to cause a small localized current, killing off the infectious agents with the electricity. She grabbed some clean cloth to remove the excess liquids from the area before applying the wand upon multiple points of the injury, sealing the cleaned-off area.

"unfortunately, no. i don't know anyone else down here. its just us three as far as i know." Rose said numb to the insignificant pain and took another look at Rugal. She thought for a minute before settling on asking.
"Lily, why did you tear his eye out?" she asked her friend.

Lily shrugged. "No clue, but its a pleasure to meet you Teri. Want to me to bring you something while you're at your post? Something to eat or drink?" she asked.

Rose waited till Teri was done and stood up, doing a few stretches, not wanting her muscles to cramp after that. "Thank you Teri, any suggestions before i disembark?" the saiyan asked the medic who helped her.

 

[Ninjamedic]

The Preacher was impressed with Slindis's medical prowess. The Cleric-int-training has a good teacher. He glanced over Rugal's injuries. "I'll need something for sterilisation. " He decided to forgo just healing him with one of his more potent spells, he could see Slindis wanted to instruct her student. He produced a bottle of disinfectant and began to clean out each wound, casting a weak cure spell for each wound in turn.

Spoiler: Pic for the cure spell visual effect

"By using a weaker spell, you can better control the healing process. He won't be back up instantly, but you can be more sure and meticulous"

Teaching!

Teri gave a light smile, and 'said';

"I am partial to bottled Mountain Dew, if the Canteen has any. Otherwise, I'd subsist fine on some ice water. Thank you for asking!"

She then flipped through her book for a moment, and gave the prescribed advice written within for Lily and Rose's injuries and then wandered over to where her master and the preacher continued their work; looking to see if she could provide any aid.

"Do you wish me to do anything here, Ma'am, or should I continue the search for anyone else?"

That was when The Preacher's mini lecture kicked in; and Teri decided to sit and aid in whatever way she could; unless told otherwise.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

As the combatants were being tended to, the intercom rang.

"Attention Subjects : Rose McDermott and Lily "Mishima" : Report to the bridge for your reward as per stated by Lord Rugal Bernstein : Also, Congratulations on your Victory."

the AI said who'd be watching the fight though the Camera's of the Training room, glad that Rugal had received his just deserts for once.
However, coding long since added to this AI ensured he was still under the Crime Lords control.

As for the Crime Lord himself, He began to come to after the combined efforts of Slindis, Preacher and Teri.
He began to stir and tired to open his eyes, but his eyelids revealed only gaps where they used to be.
Then the anger kicked in.
"OH YOU *****! YOU TOOK MY EYE! I WILL FIND YOU AND WHEN I DO, I WILL MAKE YOU RULE THIS DAY! DO YOU HEAR ME?! NO ONE BEATS THE KING OF FIGHTERS! NO ONE!" He shouted almost desperately as he tired to stand, Slindis and Preacher keeping him still as they finished up.

Teri tried her hardest to calm down the King of Fighters (as calming patients was something she thought was a good form to practice). Her mechanical voice rang out as her mentors held down the Crime Lord;

"Mr. Bernstein; please! If you move too much, you'll reopen your wounds! Please, stay down for just another moment!"

 

[bluecrimson]

Slindis finished patching up the last few hemorrhages and broken bones that were realigned, then used the wand to patch up the incised area after ensuring the area that was operated on was clear of any traces of dirt. While the Preacher finished up his touches, Slindis focused on the eye. [color=c20000]"We're going to have to make a call on this eye here. I don't know how much you can repair, but that ruptured eye is beyond me. From the looks of it, Rugal may never see again."[/color] The paladin looked over at the Preacher, wanting to hear his view on it.

When Rugal started making a fuss of himself, he could hear the Drow telling him in a deadly calm tone, [color=c20000]"Mister Bernstein, unless you want to undo the hard work just done and possibly die due to internal injuries reopening, you will lay down. Understood?"[/color]

Time: Night

Lucifer and Devon:

"Okay... now... what in the bloody hell is wrong with your arm?" Lucifer said throwing a rather annoyed look at Devon.

Devon tried moving the arm around again to no avail. "A sharp pain lanced through it when the plane arrived here. Personally, with the people we got out of there, I don't care if my left arm doesn't work. After all, it's a small cost to pay. Isn't it?" He poked the arm a few times. The bones were still there, but he couldn't feel a damn thing that happened to it, though it looked normal enough.

"Oh, rugal, shut up. You will get your eye back once i've achieved my father's return. Now i'm off to collect what i wanted." She said and departed.

Meanwhile Rose had Walked to the door and turned around. "And Rugal, you'll come out better for the most part. You won't rely on your vision to fight." She said and ran off to the canteen to begin preparing food.

[hr]
Rose walked into the bridge and addressed viscus. "Ok, i'll need access to any technology you know of, any resources you have. My father's resurrection is key to winning this war." Rose explained.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"Mr. Bernstein; please! If you move too much, you'll reopen your wounds! Please, stay down for just another moment!"

And I'm offline

After much struggling and even more ranting, Rugal soon began to go though the first few stages of of Grief.
Denial: "THIS ISN'T HAPPENING! I CAN'T LOSE! I NEVER LOSE! I CAN STILL FIGHT!" He screamed as he tried to relax and refrain from movement as the Medics finished up.
Anger: "I swear, it was that girl, Lily or whatever her name is. I had her beat! She'd given up! Resigned from battle, She even left the room, I'm sure of it! She Blind sigh-.....GAHHHHHHHHHHH!" He shouted over his own pun.
It was actually a rather sad sight to behold, it was clear that his fighting skills meant quite a lot to him and now that he was defeated, he was starting to lose it.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Viscus soon appeared on the main screen

"As a former associate of your father back in 1939, I am aware of your Father's power. Therefore, I would recommend the Lazarus Pit of one Dr. Neo Cortex. He used it to bring a member of the Cartel, Bruiser the Machop back to life. However, AIM is off limits to non-Cartel personal and it requires a psychical body to work. What I can do is grant you access to our Level 1 files: Non-essential as well as aid in accessing other Databases.
Your Command?"

"Considering me and my good friend just beat the sight out of your boss, and you can look back in the records of the bridge that i am to have access to A.I.M. facilities as they fall under aforementioned "resources" of my victory." Rose said and began giving voice commands to the systems onboard, not viscus.

"Access voice records within last 30 minutes." She said as a secondary screen swapped over to a number of conversations.

"Search conversation participants: Rose and Rugal." she said and their conversation came up earlier.

"Rugal, i challenge you to a fight. You win, i'll stop pestering you about my father and i'll help you collect his power if you desire. I win, i get to use resources from your corporation to gather his power so i can resurrect him."

"I have all access to the corporation's or "cartel's" resources, AIM laboratories included. So now, i need the co-ordinates of the base. Is that understood?" she said commandingly.

 

[bluerocker]

Snippidoos!

With Rugal obviously not calming down, Teri looked to her teachers and then looked to her book, and looked at them again;

"He refuses to calm down! I think tranquilizers will be necessary to restrain him. Slindis? Do you have anything like that on hand?"

 

[bluecrimson]

"He refuses to calm down! I think tranquilizers will be necessary to restrain him. Slindis? Do you have anything like that on hand?"

She went through her Bag of Holding, pulled out a small vial of a blue powder and opened it under his nose, causing the King of Fighters to fall asleep. [color=c20000]"Powdered Woodblossomwith a bit of Sweet Whitecap. Puts most anyone under for a few hours with no real known side effects besides being lethargic for a day after use."[/color]

Slindis looked Teri over, holding back a smile as she did so. [color=c20000]"That's the same outfit I first got when I first went into the Silver Flame, although I was going in to stop a major war at the time. Would you want to hear the story behind that?"[/color]

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Jake entered the kitchen and began to prepare some good old fashioned Aussie breakfast. Bacon and Eggs, cooked on a BBQ. Finding the kitchen already prepared, he grabbed a beer out of the fridge and began cooking. Taking a swig to make sure it was good quality, he decided it sucked and chugged it all down. Despite being shit weak American beer, the Australian couldn't bring himself to waste a beer. Focusing a bit, a carton of Crown Lager materialized in the fridge, chilled and ready to drink. Nodding, he grabbed a proper beer out and took a swig before tossing a splash onto the Barbie.

Then on went the bacon, and the eggs shortly after. They sizzled in the beer, an old Aussie trick that added a very unique flavour that Jake enjoyed immensely.

The smell of bacon and eggs soon floated through the halls, summoning forth the crew. Jake had cooked enough for them all, and the first ones to stop in were Aftan and Akane, both still somewhat sleepy.

"Ara ara, a hot breakfast just for me? How sweet of you Jake..." The kitsune mumbled as she rubbed sleep out of her eyes.
"No love, it isn't just for us, it looks to be for the whole crew. What a thoughtful action." Aftan commented, sitting down and grabbing a plate.

The PA crackled to life.

[color=maroon]"Attention Crew of the Rising Dawn.  It is 0-I-don't-give-a-fuck-30, so breakfast is cooked.  If you haven't already smelt the awesome that is bacon and eggs, we've got lots cooked and ready here in the canteen.  This has been your morning Public Service Announcement, from Australia."[/color]

Jake then wandered in with a plate full of bacon sammiches in one hand and a beer in the other, sitting down next to Aftan and Akane.
"Mornin' ladies. Bacon and eggs is the best thing to wake up to eh?"

Akane smiled and patted his head, her mouth still full of delicious bacon.

Jake laughed then spoke. "So I'm a dog now eh?"
"Well, you're eager to please, always ready to help, and happy go stupid. So, yes?"

"...Woof!"

The three shared their laughter at that.
