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

Are you still here?!

8 Hours Later

Rugal began to stir as Teri went on about Vitamins and the such.
"No offence, but I've kept my body at it's peak for nearly 30 years, I just not going to stop because of this minor set back." He said as he sat up and checked his face for more leakage..
"Also, sorry about the IV Drips, I had a bit of trouble leaving here yesterday." He added, Unaware that Preacher in fact picked them up again after he turned in.
Then the Preacher spoke.
"Preacher!?.....Wait......How long have you been in this room?...." He asked, he swore revenge and many other horrible acts quite a lot before he found that tissue.

she laughs at Mele's notion on how her eyes "miss nothing" and thinking she was selling herself short. "I didn't mean it like that, I just meant that sometimes the company I keep can get a little... bland, every now and again... well... kept. I guess I'm still adjusting to the fact that mostly everyone I knew vanished from existence. I'm just glad you and your mother are still alive and well."

snip

she turns to Fionn and greets with an offering of her wine flask and, "well met I suppose, I'm Kalastryn D'Zannifer, and don't ask me much about my family, other than 2 curses that come from them unto me, because honestly, I despise the bastards. The girl with the pointy ears and the leaf green hair is Melethia, and I'm still in the process of introductions with the other one here."

Kate rolled her head, cracking the joints in her neck. She blinked hard and yawned, fishing a portable mirror out of her pocket. She flipped it open and held it up in front of her face.
"...God FUCKING dammit."
Snapping the small compact closed, she turned and walked out the door she had, presumably, come in by, almost slipping on the puddle of blood where her head had been.
Kate glanced down at her wrist as she ambled down corridors. The Device was still recharging. Her last Jump, the one that bought her here, had been particularly strenuous. She had no idea why, Kate didn't even know how to work the damn thing. It was almost always a case of 'Press the button and hope you don't land inside a star or something." She knew she should probably get rid of the damn thing; it was more trouble than it was worth, and besides, accidentally throwing herself into the multiverse when she rolled over in her sleep was becoming someth...

[b/]And there you go, forgetting again...[/b]

[i/]Kate stopped and stared at the wall, unblinking. Something flickered in the corner of her eye, and she turned. Was it just her imagination, or was the corridor darker than it was when she opened that door?
She tilted her head, eyes fixed at the wall at the far end. For a moment she could have sworn it had shifted...[/i]

Then it passed, and she let loose a breath she hadn't even realized she had been holding. She turned and continued down the corridor, idly tossing a ball of flame from hand to hand was she walked.

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"

Teri's brow furrowed, but as she went to fetch a Chocolate Digestive for the Preacher, (and then realized he was sleep-talking, eliciting a silent 'D'oh' from the Tablet) she 'said',

"Blood loss and bed rest are not good for your muscles, sir. I don't care how good of a martial artist you are; you need to replenish what minerals were lost during the after-effects of that battle. Now please, if you want to keep yourself 'in peak', you'll follow that bit of advice."

She put Rugal's vitamins in a cup and fetched a glass of water.

"Now, if you want me to stop bugging you about it, please take these. There on the table to your right. Mind the bar on your bed."

 

[Ninjamedic]

"well met I suppose, I'm Kalastryn D'Zannifer, and don't ask me much about my family, other than 2 curses that come from them unto me, because honestly, I despise the bastards.

Fionn became slightly puzzled, his face looking bewildered and surprised at Kalastryn's directness and revelations about her relations with her family without the slightest provocation. "Well, I was just going to ask what has happened while I was out, I'm guessing I've had a long sleep what with the heavy drinking and fighting off an armada with a shotgun. What made you think I was going to ask about your family? He sat in a chair and leaned back.




The girl with the pointy ears and the leaf green hair is Melethia, and I'm still in the process of introductions with the other one here."

Fionn looked to Melethia, he wasn't good with children, he hadn't many situation where he looked after them. He tried not to come off as awkward. "Well then, hello Melethia, I'm Fionn. I think I saw your mother around before. Or not. I'm still not familiar with the people aboard. Can anyone tell me what is going on?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"You don't need to coddle me. I've only lost my vision, not my mind." Rugal said as he picked up the Tablets and the glass after feeling around for them, a quick one-two saw them both down.
"Speaking of which, I have some minor Haemolacria, Weeping Blood, merely from damage to the tear duct, had a case of it back when I lost my first eye about...When I was 18 I think, just to let you know." He said as he stood up and stretched a little.
"Also, I need a cane or a stick or something, I grow tired of having to feel my way around." He added as he reached out for his shirt.

 

[Kalastryn]

she looked at Fionn with a Puzzled look. "ah, forgive me, I'm new here myself. where I am from, and for what I am..." she says, pointing at her horns and laying her tail in plain sight on the table. "I thought it warranted explanation, since typically back home people would be up in arms against me if they saw these. Which is why I learned to be very quick to explain that the evil creature I became is of my family's doing, not mine." she says, with and pours a glass of red wine from her flask. then hands it to the stranger. "as for what's going on, I can't say I know much myself... we are on an airship traveling to south America to retrieve some artifact or another to aid us against one extremely powerful enemy. The "captain" has been blinded as I hear, and is currently recovering... not that he's one to take to staying in bed... oh and also... if you see Rugal Bernstein, the person who pronounced himself captain... do NOT try to fight with him. believe you me, it's something few people have been known to survive."

Which is why I learned to be very quick to explain that the evil creature I became is of my family's doing, not mine."

Fionn took the glass and began swirling it as he spoke, "Well I must be more progressive than I thought. KI must admit my ignorance of your current state. Your world must be a slight more, diverse, than mine. I do remember stories of pacts and certain inheritances, but they're merely stories where I come from. He gulped half the glass in one go. "Steam and Powder came to replace the Arcane in my world....... Wow, I'm sounding a lot more theatrical today."




"as for what's going on, I can't say I know much myself... we are on an airship traveling to south America to retrieve some artifact or another to aid us against one extremely powerful enemy.

"Well he can't be much a threat if he's blinded now can he? Preacher must be looking after him then, I'd say he's one of the few people patient enough to put up with a man like that. Though I have to question the sanity of a crew willing to place their mortal enemy into a position to seize total control and prevent any sedition." He still wasn't impressed with the display so far on board the ship.

 

[Kalastryn]

"ah, but you see, while I am certain he is an enemy to them for very good reason... there is a time to fight your old foes, and in some cases a time where differences must be put aside so that the world can still exist. Rugal Bernstein wants to rule the world I assume... but, there would be little point in that goal if he let it get ground into dust, even if that means swallowing his pride and working for the greater good for once. and as for the reverse effect of us working with Rugal... we have to consider that allies able to fight such a foe as ours are few and far between, and that if someone is willing to help, or even in their mind to receive help against a common enemy... we're going to have to jump to the opportunity." she says, taking a gulp from her flask... as crazy as it sounds there is at least some logic in her reasoning.

 

[bluerocker]

"You don't need to coddle me. I've only lost my vision, not my mind." Rugal said as he picked up the Tablets and the glass after feeling around for them, a quick one-two saw them both down.
"Speaking of which, I have some minor Haemolacria, Weeping Blood, merely from damage to the tear duct, had a case of it back when I lost my first eye about...When I was 18 I think, just to let you know." He said as he stood up and stretched a little.
"Also, I need a cane or a stick or something, I grow tired of having to feel my way around." He added as he reached out for his shirt.

Teri nodded, but paused,

"... Maybe I could get Ms. Slindis to fix that up? She is far more skilled in the healing arts than I. As for the cane; I'm certain that can be easily arranged..."

She took a look in one of the supply closets, and she pulled out a set of canes; and held them up for Rugal to test out;

"You know, to get the feel for the one you'd like best."

She sat quietly as she watched the blind man test out the different canes, and pondered in the silence. That was when the question came to mind, and before she could stop herself, it slipped out of the tablet:

"Did you really mean what you said back there? 'I have no intention of harming you.' Even after all that we've done to you?"

The Writer's face blanched, and she tried to cover up the speaker to her tablet, but the words were already said to the Crime Lord.

"Very well, Still, It'd only a minor issue, my main concern is that it might complicate matters when my Vision can be restored." Rugal said as he got dressed and began to try out each cane, leaning on them, tapping them on the ground, feeling the weight.
Then Teri asked the million dollar question.
".....I do, As strange as that might sound. See....After Dr. Doom, I've believe you've met, Fat, Lazy, Green, Wears a metal suit. Well, after he informed me of the situation in your world and then I realised. I could have died because of that. So I forbid any travel to that realm for fear of the odd passer-by caught in the crossfire being my Creator. Besides, even if some fat pathetic teenager who spends his or her entire existence typing words onto a computer is my "God", at the end of the day, I make my own fate." He explained as as he attempted to walk to the other-side of the room, using his cane to stop him from walking into something.

He explained as as he attempted to walk to the other-side of the room, using his cane to stop him from walking into something.

Teri released a held breath,

"Well, seeing as I met him personally, I figure I should tell you this, Mr. Bernstein. Your fate is your own. You guys, the residents of this universe, long lost their ties to the Writers. After Red Mage showed us what a rouge char- Ahem; resident could do, even outside of your realm. We realized that our ties no longer matter. That is to say, our control on your fates is indeed as you say, in your own hands. I learned that lesson even better when... Well, you know."

She gave a sigh of melancholy, and sat down in a spare chair,

"Lemme know if you need anything. I'll be here all Evening."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"Lemme know if you need anything. I'll be here all Evening."

Rugal thought back to Teri's breakdown back in the hallway at the mere mention of Bruiser, Normally, he didn't really care what that jackass did on this spare time so long as he fulfilled his duties, but in this case.
".........Indeed...." He said after a long pause as he returned from his Demo trip and sat back on his bed.
A tense silence filled the air as Rugal tried to figure what to say, He never did get the full picture of what he did to her.
"......I tried to prevent it.....I really did..."
Then After entered and Rugal heard the door open.
"Who's there? Identify yourself! He shot out, not too keen of feeling somewhat defenceless.

Klaara picked a smoke from her pack and placed it between her lips, and then lit it with a snap of her fingers. She pulled out the tablet and began to red up on the little... discussion in chat, and a little thought jumped to the forefront of her mind.

She tossed the packet of cigarettes at Mark's head, "Hey, Mark, at what point does our wanton abuse of reality cause this plane and the avatar adventure plane to collapse into each other? I mean, this kind of tomfuckery can't be good for either universe. Especially since magic works here now and real people are in that fabricated universe."

Kurumu, Kud, Kyre, and BlackHarte

The Anti-Mage clung to Kurumu as she cooked, "I'm very hungry Kurumu," she said sweetly. Then the red-head turned her attention to Kud. She stuck out her hand and smiled, "Nice to meet you Kud, I hope we can be frie-" suddenly the Anti-Mage stopped and back away from Kud.

"A... Actually..." Kyre's sparkling emerald eyes seemed to be filled with fear, "it would be best if I wasn't near you."

A dark red shadow had fallen over Kud's form, a Mage in Red stood behind her, invisible to everyone but Kyre. His skin was deathly pale, and his eyes burned into the young Anti-Mage's soul. They were disapproving of something, and it frightened her.

BlackHarte stepped forward and pulled the apple tarts from the oven and handed one of the soft pastries to Kyre, then he leaned close to Kurumu and whispered gently in her ear, "If you're worried that I've repressed her memories or personality, worry no longer. What you see happening to her is her true and unfiltered emotions and thoughts. However, be wary... they are her true and unfiltered emotions. She may have the mind of a prepubescent girl right now... but if she starts to fall into the path she walked before, I fear she may turn into a being of malice. Raise this child well Kurumu Kurono. I will support her in whatever way I can." BlackHarte then backed off and carried the tray of apple tarts back to the table, whistling a song that sounded vaguely similar to white noise.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

What was that sliding sound?

???

Rugal found the tone of Aftan's voice to be.... familiar, but from where?
"...Fair enough, Though I didn't think Medival Knights had physicals..." He answered, not know what kind of knight she was.
*Shhhhhh...click*
Rugal seemed to fidget a little at that sound, wondering where it came from and what it was.
When Aftan requested privacy, He nodded and said "Understandable, Want to test out this new Cane anyway. I'll just do a round of the ship. I'll see you all later."
And with that, he put on his jacket and left, tapping his cane in front of him to detect possible hazards as he walked.

Slindis entered the room, having fully rested up. [color=c20000]"Teri, I'm glad to see that you've recovered from yesterday. Although my methods may be hard on you, I do not mean to cause you undue stress. Now, if we're going to help Mister Bernstein with his eye injury, it should be simple. It's a fairly minor injury to seal up, so you go check on that while I take a look at the other person here."[/color] The drow pulled Aftan off to the side.

Devon slowly woke up, feeling incredibly sore and short of breath. "The fuck happened?" Since he was still coming out of the anesthesia, he didn't notice the change in scenery too much yet.

 

[StormShaun]

Go away...

I'm not talking!

Shaun & Braden
Location: Secret cove, Boat.
Time: ... 1 am?

The duo who were trapped within the boat were less then amused with everything going on. "This is... less scary then Amnesia." He said gazing at the monitors and looking outside to the weird balls. "I'm not talking to him. You can if you want." Shaun said as he was typing on his laptop. He was actually playing Bioshock to everyone's surprise.

It also looked like he was typing at the same time too.

Then his Laptop played the tape.

"FUUUUUUUUCK... cheap son of a ***** asshole eater!" Shaun yelled.
He didn't save.

Riki & Kud
Location: Rising Dawn, Canteen.
Time: 1 am.

Riki.

"If you look at anyone, you can see that they have been through a lot. Especially for everyone on this ship. Also I doubt no one else would do our work... this is why we are here I guess." Riki said calmly as he looked at the two girls. "The girl next to Kurumu-san is Kud... and as you just said. She means the world to me too." He said smiling, the boy was getting quite hungry. "So... what's to eat?" He said looking at the cooking.

Kud.

As everything happened in the kitchen, Kud looked at the anti-mage. "Hmm what's wrong Kyre-san." Kud said but noticed that there wasn't any beverage/drinks. "Oh... I'll make some tea." Kud rushed off to the kitchen to make some japanese tea.

He looked at Lucifer, clearly extremely confused. "Um, what the heck happened? I remember being put under, then I woke up here. Is it just me, or is the air really thin in here?" He coughed, and Lucifer could easily tell that the man wasn't lying. After all, he was unconscious when the nurse had nicked her finger, and he hadn't tried using his ability at all between the flight out of New York City to being put under.

Aftan, Teri and Slindis

Slindis shook her head. [color=c20000]"Please, don't put on any airs around here. We're all aiming for the same goal here. I'm training Teri myself, so she'll be up to date when we enter. Now, I can do this checkup fairly quickly, so just sit down for a moment."[/color]

The paladin quickly checked the limbs for any signs of damage, noting the muscle tone while doing so.

 

[bluerocker]

Slindis entered the room, having fully rested up. [color=c20000]"Teri, I'm glad to see that you've recovered from yesterday. Although my methods may be hard on you, I do not mean to cause you undue stress. Now, if we're going to help Mister Bernstein with his eye injury, it should be simple. It's a fairly minor injury to seal up, so you go check on that while I take a look at the other person here."[/color] The drow pulled Aftan off to the side.

Teri nodded with the sudden amount of commands, and sat Rugal down again,

"Well, Mr. Bernstein, it looks like there is a change of plans again. Now sit still, and be prepared to feel my fingers near your eye sockets. If you move too much, then I might cause you more harm than good... Also, please be certain to let me know if anything hurts."

She pulled on a set of medical gloves, as well as a mask and calmly approached the Cartel Lord's face, and applied an anti-septic to the wound, followed by an expenditure of a Cure Minor to the wound, and sat back to watch it's healing progression.

"There we are... Now, does anything feel out of place or different?"

Time: The wee hours of the morning​

Klaara tapped her smoke and let the ash crumble onto the floor before speaking, "What I'm getting at," she paused and took another drag, "is that what if these transactions that we're doing.. pulling magic and power from the other universe, causes the barrier to come crumbling down."

There was a frightful glare in her brown eyes now, "What if someone could shatter it with a couple keystrokes, and unleash the monsters that have been stockpiled in that shithole of a universe,," she smiled and tossed the half-burnt smoke to the floor and ground it into the carpet with her foot, "what if we make that cospplaying-katana wielding-pepsi drinking weirdo own up to his own creation that he so conveniently 'lost control of'"

She shoved her hands into her pocket and began to walk out of the room, her cigarette had already sparked a small fire in the hotel room, "I'm done playing with magicks and programs. Let's go find where he's hiding."

Kyre started to wolf down her portions with great gusto, taking about the same time to savor each bite as it took for Berkelium to complete a quarter of a halflife. Which is to say not a lot of time. She finished the stew within thirty seconds and started to devour the apple tarts greedily, "Tell me... where are you two from." Kyre pointed at Riki and Kud inbetween apple tarts.

BlackHarte ate his stew slowly an deliberately, not wasting any energy in the movement of his tones arms and hands. He smiled, "I do believe that Master Kurono has spiked Master Puce's and Sir Riki's bowls of stew with some extra... spices."

Nessaj and Armageddon

The Chaos Knight awoke suddenly from his sleep, and screamed out as if still in his nightmare [color=dark orange]"GOD DAMN HELP ME THEY'RE GANKING ME AAAAAUAUUUHG!"[/color] Armageddon summarily beat the sense back into the Knight of Chaos by using the horse version of a MMA moveset.

He looked out of the hanger and down at the Earth below them. He could spy the glowing lights of civilization in the distance. They were about to happen upon South America. The time to smash the light in this realm of existence neared.
