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

[bluerocker]

In which embarrassment strikes.

The girl uncurled lightly at the sound of both the Preacher and Rugal's spat; and took the opportunity to pull herself up from the ground.

That was when Tajuh's order to her rang out; to which she visibly jumped, despite the tone not being very threatening. Giving only a silent nod, she brushed off the front of her tunic, suddenly feeling embarrassed at being seen (and heard) by several powerful superiors in the state she was in. Her walk was a little shaky, but she was able to stand again.

"

Yes, sir. Erm... Sorry.

"

As she slowly walked away from the trio of men, she turned around and asked sheepishly,

[color=#0E59E4]"... Do you suppose you would not mention this, er, incident to anyone? Oh, and Mr. Bernstein, make sure you drink plenty of fluids and take the vitamins given to you. It'll be bad for your muscles if you don't... Yeah... I'll get ready to go then."[/color]

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

The addition of Tajuh's voice made this extremely confusing for Rugal, Then Teri went and left before he could finish.
"...Ah, forget it. Tajuh, Inform me when we land. Preacher, Once you are done, track down the woman named Lily and get. my. Eye. Back." He ordered, trying to regain his composure before his underlings sensed weakness.
"...I'll be back in the Medical wing. I....Was just taking a stroll anyway. Dismissed." He shrugged as he walked off in the wrong direction and nearly into a wall.
"....I don't require assistance. I mean it. I'll find the right way yet." He said as he doubled back.
This is so Humiliating. He thought as he left.

[color=#0E59E4]"... Do you suppose you would not mention this, er, incident to anyone? Oh, and Mr. Bernstein, make sure you drink plenty of fluids and take the vitamins given to you. It'll be bad for your muscles if you don't... Yeah... I'll get ready to go then."[/color]

"I wouldn't worry about it child. Come on Rugal, lets get you back to the infirmary, you're only going to harm yourself here." He tucked his footlong into his left arm, offering his Right arm to help guide the man back to the med bay. He turned to Tajuh "You could be a little less callous the the girl Commander. She has been through a lot." He began to help Rugal in the direction to go.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"Come on Rugal, lets get you back to the infirmary, you're only going to harm yourself here."

Rugal shot a glare at Preacher, two eyeless sockets frowning at him.
"I told you! I don't need any help!....Just....Possibly Directions, just set me on the right path and I'll find my way. I am not about to become some worthless has-been because of this!" He shot back defensively, quite still possibly upset over the hanger.
No. Not you of all people, Goddamn that woman, I should have just went for the kill rather then taunted

"You could be a little less callous the the girl Commander. She has been through a lot." He began to help Rugal in the direction to go.

Tajuh nodded curtly to the author. "We all have incidents like this, but I will do my part to ensure it stays between us. He did his best to remain aloof, but Teri could see a hint of concern in the man's eyes before she left.

Shortly before Preacher got ready to leave, he looked over at the man. "She needs space and a way to sleep without dreams. When she gets to her room, use one of your spells to allow her to rest without any nightmares. Honestly, you think that I didn't see that? She still has the markings around her arms and the slight amount of panic around her. Grant her some space, and she'll be able to start recovering. Slindis and you should be there for her should she wish to talk." Rugal heard this as well, and he could tell that his second-in-command had dealt with unstable civilians in war situations in his time, although it seemed that he was being callous.

The (Un)Real World
Location: A Hotel | Perth | Australia
Time: Night​

The rubber and plastic pellets fell out of Klaara's skin, she was furious, "What the FUCK was that!?" For a moment she forgot about Mark, and in her rage, she never did remember. She drew her blood from her wrist and writ a triangle circumscribed by a circle on the hotel room wall and placed her hands on it.

"They are first born sons... so FUCK THEM UP!" The circle glowed green and then chipped off the wall, and Klaara backed off, wiping the dist and smoke from her clothing.

All over Perth, what seemed like fireflies were drifting through the air, following their little fairy noses to the deiscious flesh and blood of Shaun an Braden.

Avatar Adventure
Location: Rising Dawn
Time: Night​

The olive-skinned man laughed, "Little girlie, BlackHarte is my work tag. But I assure you, I am the human -heh- behind the machine."

Kyre smiled at Puce and Riki, but said nothing. For her thoughts had fallen upon her empty stomach, "Sir Edward," she said meekly, standing up and holding onto BlackHarte's large muscular arm, "could you bring me to Kurumu please?" BlackHarte stood up and patted Kyre on the head.

"Young master, anything you desire will be yours," he told the Anti-Mage before leading Kyre into the kitchen where Kurumu and Kud were.

He cleared his throat while in the doorway, "You wished to speak to me Master Kurono?" Kyre was looking terribly terribly depressed, and BlackHarte took the look of concern on Kurumu's face to heart, "Don't worry, the young master is unsettled because of her empty stomach."

There was a nibbling doubt on the back of BlackHarte's usually perfectly unified mind... what had he created in trying to fix Master Cwanuld. Right now she seemed well adjusted enough, but he was unsure how long she could go without inhibitions and trauma to stop her. If it came to... that. He would take full responsibility for Master Cwanuld. If he was lucky though, it would never come down to that.

Teri wandered down along the hallway, looking to see if there were unoccupied rooms. It was nice to see the rooms had numbers and digital displays for the names. After passing some familiar names, Teri finally came to an empty room, and entered. The room was a bit of a mess, so Teri could only assume that the room was occupied at one point; but the occupant either died or left the Rising Dawn for reasons unexplained. With a shrug, she put her tablet down, popped out her contacts and placed them on the nightstand, and flopped on the bed with a 'thump'.

Almost instantly, she tuckered out; exhausted by the day's events.

8 hours later

Jake approached the door with a sigh; happy for the nice amount of time he spent flying around in his plane; "Time for a shower, and then, maybe I can relax..."

 

[Ninjamedic]

"She needs space and a way to sleep without dreams. When she gets to her room, use one of your spells to allow her to rest without any nightmares. Honestly, you think that I didn't see that? She still has the markings around her arms and the slight amount of panic around her. Grant her some space, and she'll be able to start recovering. Slindis and you should be there for her should she wish to talk."

"I can't just magic away her personal demons. It'll work in the immediate, but if they flare up in the heat of battle, you'll all regret it.You have to let her deal with these in her own time, she is far from being prepared to face what awaits us. Also Commander." He leaned toward Tajuh to whisper into his ear. "You're effectively Captain now. This man can't be relied on to command at this point. What pragmatism this man had you valued is currently compromised, I'm the closest thing this ship has to a medical officer. "

"I told you! I don't need any help!....Just....Possibly Directions, just set me on the right path and I'll find my way. I am not about to become some worthless has-been because of this!"

"Well then, as you wish. The Med Bay is right over there, keep going forward." The Preacher let go of Rugal, stepping forward by a metre or two and sticking his right leg out. He looked over to Tajuh, determined to demonstrate his point.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"Right...Thank you..." Rugal said as he walked towards Medical and right over Preacher's leg, tripping him and knocking him to the floor.
He was less then pleased with this and quickly got back up.
"ALRIGHT! Who did that!? Huh!? Was it you Preacher!?" He roared, looking over to where he thought Preacher was.
"I'm over here." He calmly answered, his point proven.
"....This....Isn't over." He warned, knowing that in his current state, there was little he could do but try to maintain what little standing he still had.
He felt something run down his face, wiping it off with his hand.
"...What the?..."
From what Preacher and Tajuh could tell, his eye socket was bleeding slightly.
"......Right.....You two have your orders...." He said before leaving.
"It's the Door after that."
"......thank you."

Tajuh shook his head. "I know that one can't just eradicate all the bad memories. What I am asking for you to do is ensure that the girl can have a good sleep for the night, because she isn't getting one in her state. It's obvious that she isn't ready, but if all of us here didn't do some things because we weren't ready. we'd all be fucked. As for the other bit, Officer, I trust in your skills and Slindis' skills to get Teri up to pace."

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Shenanigans, ho!

MOAR fluffy tails you say?

Jake - Hanger
Jake softly whistled to himself as he worked. Jake was a lazy man, but only in his hobbies. Anything work related, or safety related, he was dilligent in. Hence why he was currently wearing a dirty pair of overalls, covered in grease, halfway into the engine of his Warhawk fighter plane. The sound of his turning wrench filled the otherwise empty hanger as he serviced the big V-12 engine. Tightening the last few bolts, he smiled to himself. Sure, he had cheated a bit and used a full repair/service manual with step by step instructions, but in 6 hours he had fully serviced the old style yet brand new warbird.

Washing his hands and discarding the overall into a laundry chute, Jake headed back to his room for a quick nap, and maybe to clean it up and personalize it. Nearing his room, he felt a tinge in his gut. He stopped and drew his pistol before carefully and quietly opening the door. Scanning the room, he saw an interesting sight. Teri was sound asleep in his bed.

Smiling to himself, Jake slowly retreated, closing the door softly so as not to wake his fellow Author. He holstered his pistol again and rested a hand upon his sword as he stood guard at the door. He knew she needed her sleep badly, and any who would dare disturb her would meet his wrath. Jack was not the only protective wrathful entity to call the Rising Dawn home.

Akane - Canteen
Akane did a double take at the little Elf landing next to her. "Ara ara, nice to meet you little miss. So you've met other kitsune before? My name is Tomoe Akane, and it's been a long time since I have seen one of my own kind. Our world, it was destroyed. It's a long story, and a sad one. But why don't you tell me your name and have some breakfast that Jake cooked. There is still plenty of bacon here." Akane said, her voice a mix of scepticism, elation and kindness.

Akane said, her voice a mix of scepticism, elation and kindness.

She snatches up some bacon and eats it before continuing with a small piece of the crispy meat dangling from her mouth. "Nice to meetcha, Miss Akane! I'm Melethia." She pulls out a small blond wig that's been extremely well-kept from one of her pouches, and Akane can instantly recognize it as being from a Kitsune. "My friend from back home made this for me from her own fur. It was somethin' about keepin' a low profile, but I like my hair better. Not to be rude, but it just fits me better."

Akane nodded and smiled at little Melethia. "Treasure that wig Melethia-chan, your friend liked you very much to have made it from her own fur, and to have you fit in. It's even got two little ears, how kawaii! You must have looked cute with it on, I'll bet. Now eat up all your breakfast for your strength, you look like one who can cause some mischief~!"

Akane's morning just kept getting better and better. First bacon, now a little trickster in waiting to play with!

"I just want to remind you that can't rely fully on people in her position once pile on the pressure. She may gaina small respite, but can't just then throw her into the trenches."

As for the other bit, Officer, I trust in your skills and Slindis' skills to get Teri up to pace."

"I'll do my best. But you can't instill centuries worth of wisdom and knowledge in a few hours or days can you?" the Preacher followed Rugal, making sure he got back to the infirmary right, and to patch up his head wound....

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Snip

Rugal eventually managed to make his way back to the Medical Wing, Preacher following him the whole way.
He watched as the De-throned King of Fighters struggled to avoid the IV Drips he knocked over on the way out.
"Damn that Bastard, "you're only going to harm yourself here". You'll get yours..." He said to himself as he tried to find a tissue for the blood on his face.
It was then Preacher realised Rugal didn't know he was there.
"Only myself to blame for this, Should have just went for the kill...." He said as he felt around one of the counters for something to clean off the blood.

 

[Sigma Castell]

Kate grunted and pulled herself off the Canteen floor.
"Wait five minutes before strenuous activity my ass," She grumbled, wiping her hands on her jacket.
"At least my mouth doesn't taste like sour apple anymore...."

 

[Kalastryn]

Kalastryn takes in a deep breath, trying to piece together all the things she had seen in the Canteen. she wonders when exactly the ship will land in "South America"... wherever that is. she pulls out a chair next to Akane and Melethia, gives Akane a once over, and offers Akane a swig from her flask. "Hello again Mele. you tend to make the most interesting friends. First a kitsune, then me, then a wolf that turns into a human being, like some weird werewolf in reverse... and now another kitsune." she turns back to Akane. "sorry if that offended you in any way, I didn't mean it harmfully... but sheesh, and 11 year old has more interesting friends than me!" she says with a laugh.

 

[bluerocker]

Gonna try to bond with the King of Fighters, aw yeah!

8 Hours of Sleep; after Jake's Checkup

Teri awoke groggily; and checked the time; "... Is it that late already? Hmn, I bet Ms. Slindis would want me to report to work..."

After a yawn; Teri realized that she could probably get her spells back for the day; "Hmn... I think Clerics pray for spells, right? So, I should too.... Well, God deserves some talking to anyway, so it's only fair that I do so, if I expect spells from HIM."

And so, she prayed....

Spoiler: Spells for the Day

0 level: (4 Spells for the Day)

Detect Poison
Cure Minor X3

1st Level: (2 Spells for the Day)

Cure Light Wounds (1 d8 + 3) (Domain gives her a bonus to cure spells)
Remove Fear (Removes fear from the victim, or adds a +4 bonus to saves against it.)

Domain Spell: Cure Light Wounds (1 d8 + 3)

After the intensive feelings jam that prayer session turned out to be; Teri felt relieved, and ready to take on work!.... After a light meal.

"I'll just grab something light, like a sandwich. No biggie!"

After grabbing her Tablet and her supply bag; the girl wandered to the Canteen (and eventually) the Med Bay.

Med Bay
She had finished nibbling upon her roast beef sandwich when she arrived in her place of work; when the girl noticed that the King of Fighters was resting in his bed. Aura burning bright, the girl took in a deep breath, and announced in the brightest voice her tablet could muster,

"Good Evening, Mr. Bernstein! Did you do what I tell you and take those vitamins? They will be integral to your recovery process. After all, you want to be able to get up and beat the daylights out of people again, right?"

 

[Ninjamedic]

Med Bay.
The Preacher was fast asleep on a bed on the other side of the room, he had spent the night making sure Rugal didn't injure himself or others. "Thank you dear. And a Chocolate Digestive please", he mumbled in his slumber.


Rising Dawn Canteen.

Is was at this point in the scene, that the Sword and Gun Mage finally made an appearance after so long (Sorry about that everyone). He spotted Kalastryn and Melethia, deciding to properly introduce himself. "Well I guess I haven't seen you all before. I'm Fionn Fandango. Yourselves?" He was surprisingly laid back given the events going on.

 

[bluecrimson]

Melethia smiles as she continues eating the food. "Miss Akane, you wouldn't believe how many places you can get to on this ship through the vents. I left a few little treats in some of the areas people should keep away from, beefed up the defenses a bit. They were okay and all, but why have it be okay when anyone smart enough could get into areas like the engine room? Yup, I worked on them until they had the Banshee's stamp of approval."

Noting Kalastryn's talk of her friends, she shakes her head. "Miss Kala, you're really interesting yourself. Don't try to sell yourself short. You may not be as interesting as Firebrand, but his eyes didn't seem like they missed nothing. Plus, watching you a few times taught me some stuff as well." She looked up at the tiefling and smiled. Although this ship was full of strangers, at least she had a few people that were close friends. Not to mention that Skyhair girl making her do the stuff she did.

The fact that she could spring up on those fallen angels that were hurting people with those temporary enhancements she put on all her weapons meant that she would be having a big challenge, and there were few that she had failed to overcome. Go ahead, try to attack anyone on this ship, jerks. I'll show you how the Cove's Emerald fights, and I promise you that you won't like it.
