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

[Sigma Castell]

Everything seemed to snap back into motion. The world blurred in front of her as she tried to get to her feet, Revolver falling from her loose fingers, There was shouting, a screeching like a chair being pushed back, and suddenly she was falling, a heavy weight pressing into her side. She landed hard, face pressing against the metal floor, bruising her cheek. Kate's pupils had dilated until they blacked out almost everything, leaving only a thin sliver of green around the edge, and her breath came in sharp, shallow gasps. The black streams had dried now, leaving dark, spider-web tracks across her cheeks. She struggled and kicked against whatever was holding her down, but to no avail.

Klaara picked at her bento idly, "Lay off that Mr. Nguyen, it was a slip of the tongue, nothing more." She placed a clump of white rice into her mouth and chewed slowly, "This isn't one of your high-school dramas, there's nothin' psychological about anything."

A whisper in his heart radiated outwards, as if a single spark had lit ablaze an unstoppable inferno. Each unit caught this fire and turned about in writhing agony, to be consumed by this utter blackness, this darkness, this terror. The cold unflinching waves of change flowed through Black Heart.

What once was a formless beast now lay Puce and Kurumu on the bed with solid human hands, and gently disrobed his young red-headed master and cleaned each garment with care. He wiped the blood off of the leather and he polished the chainmail until it shone as bright as the silver moon. His body felt hot and warm inside, blood flowed through his veins.

It was without a thought that he borrowed the material of the ship and crafted himself something suitable to wear, to cover his nakedness, for he felt shame. With two strong, tanned, and well muscled arms he lifted Puce and Kurumu off of the bed and placed them on the adjacent side of the room, in two lounge chairs before taking a seat next to his young master.

She looked so peaceful, pale skin unblemished with scars, burns, or tattoos, soft and supple under his rough hewn hands. BlackHeart smiled to himself, looking over Kyre with blazing green eyes, almost alight in the darkness of the room. "Young Master, I failed. I couldn't fix you after all." He turned Kyre so that she faced up and grimaced at her face. The scar across the bridge of her nose was bleeding, and the red blood stained the whiteness of her skin. She wasn't so old anymore, she was shorter, thinner, her muscles not as honed nor as well built. Her clothes lay folded to her side upon the bed. They would still fit her, he hoped.

"You lost seven years Master."

BlackHarte turned around and smoothed the collar on his crafted dress shirt. His body was strong. Broad shoulders and a great height, with muscles hidden underneath his olive skin, constantly being rewoven into better configurations by countless surviving nanites. He had long brown hair, just enough to drop down to his shoulders and over the hole upon his neck.

"Live a good life Master Cwanuld. When you awake you won't remember me, and I hope when we do meet. You will allow me to serve you," BlackHarte laughed and ran his fingers through his hair. The Heart of Darkness, the Shadowy Soul, the Creature of the Abyss sealed within the Stone of Darkness... was humanity. What a joke.

BlackHarte headed toward the Canteen. He felt hungry... what a bother.

"Mistress Teri or Master Preacher... perhaps you could talk to the woman? You look... non-threatening. No offense."

AKA: In which Teri shows off her Cleric stuff.

As the wild woman was being tied down, Teri wandered over to the shaking and wild girl, and squatted next to her. To those around her (of Good alignments), they could feel a calm and soothing sensation wash over them as she began to speak to the young woman. This affect was no doubt influenced by her teachers as well, considering that they had a similar air about them as well. As she 'spoke' to the woman, Teri's tablet trying it's best to establish a kindly tone;

"Hello Ms. Kate. My name is Teri; and I'm a nurse here, more or less. I know this situation here must be really scary to you; what with all the crazy people around here, and the new and unknown place you've found yourself in. But I'm here to tell you that everything will be okay. I promise. We're not here to hurt you. If anything, we'd like to help you. If there's anything we can do to make you feel safer in this unfamiliar ship; please tell us, and we'll do our best to aide you. However, before any of that can happen, you need to tell us what's wrong. Do you think you can do that?"

Lucifer, Devon and Dr. Condo:

Devon walked over to the Oncologist and prepared for the FMRI. "I hope that you can find out a bit here, Doc. It probably goes without saying, but I'm fond of my left arm."

The tests showed that some data was being sent to the arms, but not much. There was also the oddity of the rest of his body being completely unaffected by the side effects of the field, including no response from the left arm. Not knowing of the side effects, Devon thought of this as normal.

"Find anything, Doc?"

Slindis continued to keep the woman subdued with the help of Gabrielle, and she called for Teri. [color=c20000]"Make a tea with some of the Woodblossom leaves. It'll have a sedative effect, but it won't put the woman under. "[/color] Although the taller woman struggled, the combined efforts ensured that the woman wasn't moving anytime soon.

[color=c20000]"Aftan, was it? The blend that Teri's brewing should calm this woman enough for us to talk to her."[/color]

Klaara gave Mark a quick jab in the shoulder with her chopsticks, "Not that kind of drama," she said playfully before taking a look around to make sure no one respectable was looking, "this isn't one of your shows I mean. There's no stock characters here Mr. Nguyen, I don't have any issues for you to implore or anything."

She quickly finished the entire bento and tossed it into the garbage bag, "And like I said, I don't particularly have any interest in the theatrical arts. Spare me any stories involving that."

Kyre's eyes fluttered open and her body suddenly came to life as if galvanized. The anti-mage rolled off of the bed and dropped to a low stance, before eyeing Kurumu carefully from the ground up. Then after a second or so of thoughtful silence, she popped right up and held out her hand, "Hello! I'm Kyre Cwanuld, nice to meet you! You look really friendly. I hope we can get along!" The Anti-Mage's voice was cheerful and unrestrained, almost childish.

Her eyes sparkled a dazzling emerald green and her smile was genuine. Within her mind there was no pain, no horror, and no abnormality. Then more or less Kyre discovered that Kurumu wasn't the only one in the room with her. She turned to Puce and jumped back in shock while pulling the sheet over herself. "Uh... not to be nosy or anything. But have you two been watching me in my sleep?"

Canteen

BlackHarte pushed through the doors of the Canteen and gave everyone a quick look, instantly memorizing new faces and cataloging data. Then with a cool and casual movement, he placed his hands into his pants pockets and strode into the room, trying to act nonchalant. He made his way over to the refrigerator, pulled it open and frowned.

For what he found sitting in the icebox was the spectral image of Red Mage, his angry scowl itself bore a scowl and his hat was tipped over to cover his eyes in shadow.

BlackHarte picked out a jar of sugar and slammed the door in Red Mage's face before settling down at a table by himself and getting started on devouring the jar of sugar crystals.

Akane just wasn't quick enough to react, and sat back down and calmly finished her bacon and eggs. She would be called if her foxfire was needed.

"All right all right, one day for not listening to us... But good call for not trusting her."

Lucifer, Devon and Dr. Condo:

Devon tentatively tried to give a bit of his damage over to the other man only to be greeted with a jolt of pain lancing up his right arm, and he laughed to mask the sudden shock. "Umm, I don't think that'll work..." He looked at Lucifer nervously and it wasn't until Doctor Condo entered the room again that Lucifer noticed the Author's hand seemed to move a bit less than earlier.

He looked at the doctor when he reentered and nodded. "I'll consent to the procedure. Consider the man I arrived with to me the one to inform if something goes wrong, since my family's nit seeing eye-to-eye with me." Condo noticed that the young man's handshake was fairly weak.

When the surgery started, the assistant nurse accidentally nicked herself with one of the scalpels. It was nothing serious, but the cut instantly healed up. Almost simultaneously, a thin line traced itself on the unconscious author's hand. A keen-eyed person in the operating room may have been able to notice this as the brain had yet to be revealed.

The teal quickly sedated the woman, although whether or not she would respond to the inquiries would be waiting for some time. [color=c20000]"It may put her to sleep, although it would leave most anyone merely drowsy."[/color] Since the woman wasn't thrashing around any more, Slindis decided to get off her after storing the gun in her Bag of Holding. [color=c20000]"Teri, I'm glad that you had the guts to come down here and attempt to resolve this issue with us. Not many would do that, and it takes a strong person to do that, even if you are a bit lacking physically."[/color] The drow laughed and lightly embraced the author.

Meanwhile, Melethia plopped down in the room from one of the ventilation shafts, nearly landing on Akane's food. "Hiya, Miss Foxtail! It's been a while since I've seen one of you around!" The young elf grabbed some of the uneaten food from one of the nearby plates as she looked at the tails. "I'm Melethia." Although the girl had a slight amount of dust on her from the jaunt in the vents, the crisp scent of seawater clung to her skin.

"You want to know what makes me tick?" Klaara said suddenly , then she smiled, "I already told you Mark, it's my persona that makes me tick. I gotta act the part if I'm going to be the part, strong, indomitable, unrelenting. I promised dad that I would follow fate wherever it took me with as little resistance as a possible." It didn't seem like she was aware at all of what she was saying, yet she continued.

"In the grand scheme of things, what I want doesn't matter in the world, that's why I gotta make sure everyone thinks that I've got everything planned out and beaten down before me."

Kyre seemed somewhat befuddled before she wrapped the bedsheet around herself and gave both of them a quick bow. "I'm glad you two were concerned about me," but then the Anti-Mage stood up straight and looked at Puce straight in the eye, "and I'm quite alright Sir Puce. Though I should be worried that I woke up sans all of my clothing, but you two don't really seem like rapey people, and trust me, I know what rapey people look like."

She spun around to make sure that the bedsheet was well folded and tucked so it wouldn't all out from under her before smiling, "It's cold and I'm kinda hungry, is there anything hot to eat?"

---​

BlackHeart did not seem to be amused by Gabrielle but then suddenly spoke in an overdramatic tone, "I am older than you can comprehend. I am the bastard borne of the first nightmare of the first sentient creature upon this plane. I am an immortal, and I am your reckoning."

He reached out and snatched a handful of the white powder back from Gabrielle and put it in his mouth, then in a more reasonable manner he replied to her question, "My name is Blakely, Edward Blakely. I'm the engineer for this ship and have been since it first took flight. You've just haven't seen me because I've been cooped up in the storage room running all of the electronics." He lifted his shoulderlength brown hair to show the Shadow Knight a small metallic interface node on the back of his neck, "I plug myself right in and get to work managing the power outputs and stuff."

"So, you want to start with the Fingers or the Toes?"

Teri fidgetted in Slindis' unexpected embrace, and was still until her Master released her from the grip; nodding 'saying'

"Thank you, Teacher. I think that it's important that we try to attend to mental wounds just as much as physical ones. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go to the restroom."

She got up quickly; the aura around her dissipated suddenly (to the chagrin of those [Good] around her), and quickly walked to the nearest Ladies room. After entering a stall, Teri promptly turned around and expelled the contents of her stomach.

When she left, Ton Ton's eyes slit ever so slightly, and said to whoever was listening; "She looked awfully pale leaving. You think she's okay?"

 

[bluecrimson]

When she left, Ton Ton's eyes slit ever so slightly, and said to whoever was listening; "She looked awfully pale leaving. Ms. Slindis, do you think she's okay?"

Slindis kneeled down to Ton-Ton and shook her head. [color=c20000]"It's safe to say that something's eating at her. Would you happen to know of anything that would cause her to panic like that?"[/color] She was concerned about Teri: had something assaulted her? Was there someone on this ship she was afraid of? Or had the paladin gone too far in her training?

 

[bluerocker]

In Which Ton Ton expositions?

Teri would have answered with her Tablet to Aftan... Had she not left it in the Canteen when she left for the bathroom. "D'oh!"

Begrudgingly, she wiped her mouth and flushed the toilet, trying to think of a proper way to answer Aftan. Unfortunately, without a voice, she had no choice but to exit. Still a bit shaky from her mini-ordeal, the Writer tried her best to give a smile and go to wash her hands; and decided to rinse her mouth out while she was at it. When she finished, she pantomimed the lack of a tablet and could only shrug at her attempt to communicate.

----

Ton Ton frowned at the question; and walked over to the tablet; and looked at it for a moment, "... Yes. Somebody did hurt Ms. Teri. However, I do not know if it is entirely in my place to say; without Ms. Teri's consent in the matter. You see, she might be angry if I talk about it. Then again, she seems to be angry if someone so much as hints at it. But, if you want to speak to the other person involved, that would be Ms. Angelus. Or is she still sleeping?"

"Do you want me to say congratulations?" Klaara answered coolly before pulling heavily on Mark's jacket and pushing him away from her, "therapist of the fucking year? Or maybe Mr. Advice and your own little column in the magazines."

Klaara was smiling now, "Fuck it all, this is spoiling my good mood. Let's go screw with the Japanese due process."

Kyre shifted her weight onto the soles of her feet and swayed back and forth while Kurumu layered the chainmail an leathers onto her small frame. "Well Miss Kurono, I don't really like the name 'Emerald' is brings back some bad memories." She looked away bashfully and slipped the ribbons out of her hair. The Anti-Mage's figure made it hard to discern how old she was now. Anywhere between her mid and late teens seemed plausible. Kyre's eyes were suddenly filled with sadness.

"The last thing I remember was Laurus blowing himself up in the market square... and before that I only remember vague snippets of... well... people doing stuff to me." She tugged at the chainmail shirt and listened to it's jingling, then Kurumu pulled on Kyre's hand and she followed her without complaint.

"I'd really like to have Briarworm stew, like Weth used to make when he would come back from the undercities."

BlackHeart looked on as Gabrielle became distracted but answered anyway, "The interface only goes so far as my spine little girl. It was a perfectly safe and painless procedure." He continued to shovel the sugar into his mouth, "Sugar really does nothing to this body either, since I can just reconstitute anything I eat into necessary nutrients."

"And about my mother..." he said wistfully as his thoughts drifted to Alice... strangely he was filled with both a sense of admiration an loss,, "you could say she approves of my work. Where ever it is that machines go to after they die."

Lucifer, Devon and Dr. Condo:

As the two argued, Doctor Condo noticed the pain that had been ailing him for years was slowly fading away, most importantly that infarction that caused him to need the cane. A few of the doctors in the room that smoked felt that they were able to breathe easier as well, and the unconscious man at the table started to cough slightly as well. It may have crossed Condo's mind, but it was clear to Lucifer: Devon was deteriorating rapidly in the hospital, and it was only a matter of time until the effective radius grew to the emergency ward or the Burn ward.

It had seemed like such a good idea at the time, "I'm sure that Tokyo has a police force that's used to dealing with this type of crap!" Klaara laughed as she pulled out the tablet and began to tap furiously at it's virtual keyboard.

Upon the shores of Japan's main island, the land of the rising sun and the home to the imperialists that once defiled my people rose a great terror. Ambition is one of humanity's greatest faults, and now and here comes the juxtaposition between punishment and forgiveness.

A plague upon the people of the island, a plague upon all of them! Let the beasts run free! Man eating Pomeranians!

Post!

She grinned and pulled harder on mark's hand, "We should get to the airport before the entire city burns to the ground. Or we might just get stranded in this place, soon to be a hellhole of a city!"

"Friend...?" Kyre seemed to pause, she looked uncertain for a moment before jumping up again, "Friend! You are my friend now aren't you!" She grabbed onto Kurumu and smiled warmly. The answer to her first few questions seem to be in the vein of no...

"Do you remember anything about your father and mother or Uncle?"

Kyre's smile faded, and it looked like she was lost deep in thought. Then she answered almost in an unsure tone, "Mom was the Matriarch of Prybat... she was the most important person there. For our half of the kingdom anyway. Dad ruled the other half, he was the Patriarch of Prybat. Mom and Dad never really got along well, so they stayed in separate rooms unless there had to be some joint politicking done, that or they needed make another brother or sister for me. Uncle was a great man, he had long white hair and strong muscles. I think his name was Weth... but I just call him Belrose." Kyre paused for a moment before continuing, "Belrose did lots more than father ever did. He would take me out to festivals, and bring me back tasty treats from the undercities. He always was the one to ride out in times of war and be the first to return in times of peace. But everyone always seemed to dislike him... they called him a bastard, and a freak. So I was really the only one that ever got close to him."

Kyre's grip on Kurumu's hand tightened, "...Now I remember... He sold us out, he killed Father and sold me and Mother into slavery. I guess I really don't want Briarworm stew anymore. Maybe something sweet and flaky... a pastry of some sort." She seemed suddenly downcast, all her spirit had just evaporated, "I'm overcome with this feeling, I've never felt it before. I just want to lay down and close my eyes... and never wake up."

BlackHarte's green eyes flashed in the light of the Canteen, "That, my little one, is what we call despair." Then 'Edward' turned his attention back toward Gabrielle, and with a great white smile he answered the Shadow Knight.

"My mother was a very sickly girl, she died in her teens. You could say I was born only because of the life support that sustained her body," BlackHarte put his hands together and rested his chin on them, "and you could say I'm a droid, I can take product A and reconstitute it into product B with relative ease and accuracy. But unlike droids, I'm sure I can love, procreate, and do all those other things you organics are so fond of doing. In theory at least. I haven't been able to test anything other than eating so far."

Shaun.
Location: Fancy hotel in Western Australia/Perth.
Time: 7 pm-ish.

After leaving home once again from the Christmas party, Shaun decided to go back to his safe Haven of a hotel room. Thanks to his writer's powers he got the best room in the best hotel in the State. "I want to be home." Shaun muttered to himself as he opened his laptop and started to make a post whilst he plays some anime on the giant TV. Even though he was in a fancy hotel he preferred his room at his home.

Minutes pass.

Thirty or so minutes pass and sudden Shaun noticed a quote in his Escapist messenger box as Shaun got depressed about Jakeman insulting his favorite anime couple. "That's fucked up... he didn't even give them a chance." He said to himself as he started to read the message.

There was a knock on Shaun's hotel door...

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

Shaun waited for a while and...

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

Was right outside his door. His eyes widened. "Aww hell no. I am not letting anyone in!" He yelled so whoever outside can heard and quickly equipped his mask, got dressed and held his katana next to him as he started to write another post and fast. "Go away please!" He yelled once more.

Riki & Kud.
Location: Rising Dawn Airship. (Tomoya's) Riki & Kud's room.
Time: Night... about something 1 am.

As the two finished the appletiser (Which also had a REALLY fancy bottle... trust me search it) outside on the balcony. The two decided to finally greet some of the people they did not meet. "We should meet them I guess." Riki said sighing, he was pretty shy. "Riki... we have to." Kud said gripping his wrist. The two left to find someone new to meet.

 

[StormShaun]

Shaun.
Location: Fancy hotel in Western Australia/Perth.
Time: 7 pm-ish.

Shaun was quickly typing on his laptop when he noticed the new message. Quickly refreshing the RP page Shaun was really surprised at what happened, but was too tired to care. Pausing his anime, chucking his mask into the closet, puting his katana back into it's sheath and then back into the closet. "Coming... coming, keep your panties on." He said as he took a quick swig of his premium cider and walked to the door.

Opening the door everyone could see a young adult standing at the doorway yawning. He had an athletic build, blue eyes, medium hair with a long parted fringe and was dressed in PJs. "You guys should keep it quiet." He smirked to everyone at his door. "So what do you guys want?" Shaun said to them and scanned the group outside and found two people standing out. (That is... Mark... who is that women?) He thought to himself.

Riki & Kud.
Location: Rising Dawn Airship. (Tomoya's) Riki & Kud's room.
Time: Night... about something 1 am.

Spoiler: Kud's theme from the VN

As the two came in Kud could see/smell the stew and sweet apple pastries and ran towards Kurumu. Wondering what see was cooking Kud came up to Kurumu, the succubus could see that the young girl was clearly smaller then her. "Hello... I was just wondering what you were cooking." She said and gazed up to the succubus. Meanwhile Riki was still at the door way and smiled as he saw that Kud was less shy then him. The young boy then began to look around for anyone else.

 

[StormShaun]

Shaun.
Location: Fancy hotel in Western Australia/Perth.
Time: 7 pm-ish.

The pain shot through Shaun like a bullet. "Really... those guys come up here for that... but no one really questions this! Fuck you all!!!" He yelled at the walls. Getting up, Shaun walked to the small kitchen and spat his blood into the sink and grabbed a pepsi and held it to his face. Remembering Mark's smiling face made Shaun scowl. "That was not necessary." Shaun said to them as he came back into the bedroom and sat on the couch.

"It's obvious why you are here... but it should be obvious that I'm not the one in control of him." Shaun smirked to himself

Riki & Kud.
Location: Rising Dawn Airship. Canteen.
Time: Night... about something 1 am.

"It sounds nice... but why would you need the other stuff in it?" Kud asked as Kurumu called out to Riki. "Oh... Riki is just a bit shy, Hehe." Kud giggled as she waved over to Riki too. "Come over here Riki to meet Miss... umm oo~" Kud said to Kurumu but didn't know her name. Riki began to walk over.

Shaun.

Time: 7 pm-ish.

That wasn't clever.

Was the thought that lingered in Shaun's head until he spotted the gun. "Why the hell would you need a GUN!?" Shaun yelled out in the room, immediately dropping his can but picked it back up quickly. (I knew he was an asshole... but geez. This take takes the award.)

Looking at the gun he knew he had to get out of this.
Dark Tomoya could be here too.
That is why Shaun was in the hotel room.
Not because of these douches, but because of him.

Little did they know he was also their salvation.

"Tomoya was out of my hands for a long time... but he is effected by me. You all should know that it is probably your own fault why he has turned evil."

Shaun's attention returned to the gun. "Why would you need a gun... that will solve shit... HE WILL STILL KILL!" Shaun said as he threw the can through the window and jumped back towards the desk. It was obvious Shaun feared his own death and was not going to allow it.

Riki & Kud.
Location: Rising Dawn Airship. Canteen.
Time: Night... about something 1 am.

As Riki was walking towards his younger lover he indeed did spot the man named Puce. "Hey can I sit here?" Riki said to the man which was sitting down. He wanted to meet most of these people so he could confirm what Shaun said.

"These two are Puce and Kurumu. Couple, lover and weird supernatural duo.

Kuru is a succubus... not a bad person. Actually is the better out of the two.
Puce on the hand is a... umm... oh yeah, an Energy Conduit. Uses his body to create stuff.

The psycho who created these two is Mark... the annoying and disturbing writer. Don't worry about him, I think he is going to chase after me soon enough.

That'll be the day."

Meanwhile Kud knew exactly what she was talking about. "Umm... Kurumu-san... I know what you are talking about." Kud said twiddling with her thumbs. Giggling to herself, she had a funny thought. "Why don't you give some to Riki?" She joked.

Teri and Aftan

Teri's pantomiming had indeed worked as Aftan remembered the young mistress's need of the Tablet to speak. However, Aftan had a bit of a substitute for the time being and she thought that it would be best to use for the time being.

The Phoenix Tattoo of Elemental Air flared to life as Aftan touched the young mistress.

"Can you hear me? The Air Tattoo should allow us to communicate. In times past, it was believed that the Air carried knowledge. Hopefully I am doing this correctly." Aftan said sending the message into Teri's brain.

Teri gave a little sigh, and she nodded, "Yeah, I can hear you Aftan. Sorry you have to use your powers at all... I should have thought to bring my Tablet. Heh heh. I suppose I'm not entirely used to having to use it.... But, I'll have you and everyone else know; I'm perfectly okay. I just had to, well, go really bad all of a sudden. No biggie!"

Even though Teri's tone was reassuring, Aftan notices that traces of a.. Voice? A voice was lightly in the back of her thoughts. It sounded, well, disgusting; as if perversion and terror had been made manifest, and that was only for the whispers! Clearly, the girl was hiding something.

 

[The_R3d_Fury]

Braden heard the noise in the next room and awoke. He had fallen asleep -- curses!

He grabed the 12-guage off the counter and slipped a smoke grenade out of one of his socks. Shaun had asked him to come to the hotel to be a part of the meeting, and to also back him up on stuff.

Well, Braden had known a lot of gun freaks in his day and even cops. So he'd asked one of his police friends to 'reimburse' him for his time helping bring a hoon down.

So his friend had let him use some of the police training weapons. He'd managed to sneak one out for him, too. A broken one that was meant to have been thrown out, but hadn't. Braden had fixed it up.

He peeked into the hallway and saw that the door was the tiniest bit ajar. The man peaked through.

Shaun and 2 others -- one female, one... male? Armed, too. This was bad.

He pulled the pin on the smoke grenade and reaied his shotgun. Riot rounds would immobilise the targets, but not kill them. Well, hopefully not. There were ways.

He knocked on the door once, ever so slightly. SHaun noticed, and knew it was his friend signalling him.
