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

[maddawg IAJI]

Alright Mercs.... You know what that ain't going to work I'm gonna need to know your names.

The three mercs replied with there names. The female was zoey, the black one was louis, and the tough guy was Francis. Maddawg got an idea in his head and went back to the closet. He opened the closet and asked Bob if he knew how to use a gun. "Sort of I've narrated wars you know." Okay but from now on your known as Bill. Now report to the war room.

The strangley familiar quad group entered the room and found a locust who welcomed them in english. "Okay" said the general "You will be dropped off here. from there you will need to move to these 5 checkpoints. At the final checkpoint you will need to defend yourself for ten minutes while we extract you. Any Questions?" Everyone raised there hands. "Okay good no questions now get to the reavers.

 

[Shapsters]

But then, the heroes hit the mercs over the head and the threat was gone...

Just Kidding

 

[Lastbayking]

<spoiler=ooc> okay I'll play along
The mercs landed at the first zone. "Reloading!" Shouted Francis's. "Reloading!"Zoey repilied. "Reloading?" Louis asked inquistivly. "Reloading." Franics said finality. "Reloaing Reload, LOUIS!" Zoey shouted at the top of her lungs. "Reloading." Louis replied. "Bill." Said Francis. "Reloading." Bill said. In the meantime zombies had crept up on the gang.

In london: Still nothing new I hope...

Heroes: Same story

LBK: Attached to ram's hors. Could be used as a unique weapon.

Zombies: FREAKIN AWESOME.(not appologizing for caps.)

 

[Daye.04]

While the zombies where getting ready to attack, the conversation in the gang continued.

"Where are we heading?" Louis asked

"london?" Zoey replied
"Oh, god I hope not. There's nothing new there" Louis said
"To the heroes?" Zoey asked
"Meh. Same story" Louis continued
"The zombies leader?" Francis joined in
"No. He's attached to one of the heroes horns." Louis answered
"He could be used as a unique weapon." Zoey proposed
"Let's not bother. We all remember last time, right?" Louis told them
"Zombies?" Zoey asked
"FREAKIN AWESOME" Billbob shouted
"Uuh .. Francis. This is not the time for sexual harassment!" Zoey complained
"Hey, I'm nowhere close to you!" Francis defended himself
"Smooooker!" Louis warned the group
"yeah, I can feel that, but oddly enough he's no- ooh! Guh .. Guys, leh .. t's not ..." Zoey fell to her knees
"Uh .. Let's give her and smoker some private time, shall we?" and with that the mercs and zombies wandered off

"Guys?" Spike started "What were our objective again?"
"Guys!" Laser cat shouted "Look at that group of zombies following that group of guys!"
As the horde lead by the mercs (without Zoey) came up to the heroes, they were greeted by our heroes getting ready for a fight. Although it seemed that non of the zombies were in the same mood

"What's up with those guys?" Ram asked
"Well .. I think they've been traumatized by .. Uh .. What are you guys doing?"
"Uhm ... If we're not fighting zombies .. I don't know" Spike replied
"Well, if you haven't forgotten. We still have a girl in London to take care of."
"That's a hell of a long trip, Rag. And I haven't recharged my teleport-ability yet."
"We'll just have to walk" Rag responded

"Our heroes, accompanied with mercs and a zombie hord are now heading into the sunset. Looking for London" Bill narrated.

Spoiler: I honestly don't know

[Guitar Gamer]

The black hooded man sat in the balcony. For all he knew he was the last man on earth, and he was barracaded on the 3rd floor of an hotel in london. He didn't really expect to live but with his powers of being Immune to logic and viruses and only being able to be killed or removed from plot rather epicly he had a better chance than most. IT was that creepy girl! if the random worldwide nuclear strickes weren't bad enough and the recent zombie apocolypse now her?
at least the zombies seemed to move on. Wait there was somthing on the horizon, he looked through his sniper but they were still to far away, zombies? but these were moving fast. Maybe an advanced breed? he couldn't take a chance. He zommed in and aimed to fire.

 

[Ramthundar]

"Ok, guys. New plan. We'll lead these zombie guys to London, and maybe we can use them against the Creepy Girl. After we beat her game (1st rule of heroes: always win) we can then use her powers to reverse the zombie infestation! Afterward, we can go to Maddawgss and take him out ourselves. You know, so we can have a little fun." Ram explained, heading toward London which was a lot closer then many cartographers and Geography teachers would think.
"Sounds good, Ram. Except you have a little something there..." Spike said, indicating above Ram's head.
"What? Is it a spider. Get it Off!"
"No, it's um, a charismatic zombie in armor, I believe."
Ram looked up into his horns and saw a man stuck to his them. Embarrassed, he wiped it off on a nearby tree.
Suddenly, the zombie hoard started to get antsy.
One came forward from the others. "Look!" he cried. "Our mighty leader was not, as we first assumed, riding that pathetic goat! We now have to attack these foul beings in vengeance! For the Ho..Blarhg." he finished, brains splattering everywhere by the sniper-shoot that got him in between the eyes.
The rest of the hoard just shuffled in confusion for a bit. "...How bout we don't do as he said, k?" a little zombie said. The rest nodded in agreement and followed the heroes to London.

Spoiler: OCC

Ok...nother reminder for rules. You can't control the plot, and you can't end it in one swell swoop for your own pleasure. You react from others posts and continue from their, adding your own style and ideas to it, not destroying other's.
But this is just a reminder, because you guys seemed to have worked it out without me.
And now, to London!

 

[Shapsters]

Another sniper fire was taken, this one narrowly missing Rams head.

"Holy shit! That was close!" yelled Master Kitty while pulling out his sniper. He saw a large tower in the distance and a figure on top of it. He aim slightly to the right of the figure and shot. "That should send him a good message!"

The heroes headed toward London, thousands of zombies behind them. They needed to take out the creepy little girl by any means necessary.

 

[Daye.04]

"Our heroes came closer to the massive city. A massive city blossoming with life. Now lying in completely silence" "Dude. That might be because everyone is sleeping. It is in the middle of the night, you know" Master Kitty interrupted Billbob. "shut up, I'm the narrater."

They saw a big sign saying [color=0030F0]You are now entering London[/color]. "Here wo go" Ram said while stepping past the line. "At last, our heroes enter London". And so the heroes finally arrived at London. Now deciding to make a plan, they realized that the zombies had stopped. "Mercs! Dayes! Come on! We don't have all day!" Master Kitty shouted as silent he could. "uh .. We don't seem to be able to walk any further, guys." Francis responded, while trying to walk forward Same as all the zombies and Dayes. Non of them were able to cross the line. "Remember what I told you, guys? Only the heroes are able to enter London now."

"It seems as our heroes' attack-force has been narrowed down to only themselves. They will have to defeat the girl by themselves. Only when the girl is defeated, their friends will be able to rejoin them. As for now. My beloved heroes. You are forced to fight her off with whatever you have. Have fun heroes. Remember: I believe in you"

*Fwoing!*
Our heroes all of sudden reappear next to a huge tower in the middle of London. "You sure took your time. I've been waiting for you. Come one, Ragnarok. You know I don't like to wait alone all by myself." The girl told the group, while standing in fron of them. She's small! She's small! She's puny! She's right in front of us! Can't we just take her out now?" Laser Cat whispered intensely to Ragnarok *a sniper rifle was fired* with no warning at all, the bullet exploded in the air, five meters from the little girl. "No, you can not cute little cat. No you can not" "I'm no-" Shush! The rest of the group exclaimed. "You know we don't have any transportation abilities. How were we supposed to get her faster?" Ragnarok turned to the girl

"That. That is not my problem. Know, oh heroes. Know that I am deeply dissapointed in you. And me being dissapointed is not a very good thing. I've been here all by myself setting up this game. And you don't show up until now? And you even bring a horde of zombies to my door?? Oh, I will not be going very easy on you. I am deeply dissapointed. Now please. Let us play. Let us play before I get more worked up."

And with that, she was gone. "How do we play, again?" Master Kitty asked confused.

 

[Ramthundar]

"Well, she mentioned something about Chess the first time we saw her, so..." Ram said out loud in thought.
"MAH LAZORS ON D-7!" Lazor Cat shouted, hitting a small building.
"Dude, bad and unnecessary joke." Spike said.

Hey Dayes, use a better color for the Creepy Girl. I had to high-light it to read it.

Hey Dayes, use a better color for the Creepy Girl. I had to high-light it to read it.

That was kinda the point. She's all mysterious and all. Why not make her speaking a little more ... Difficult

 

[RagnorakTres]

"<color=FFFFFF>Let the game...begin." and a board appeared between the girl and the heroes. but this was no normal chessboard. No, this was The Game (as laid out by Sheri S. Tepper in the series of the same name). The game began, and the heroes took turns at the board. Unfortunately most of the time was spent shoring up defenses against her pieces, of which there seemed to be a limitless supply. "She's swamping us with low level pieces on the lower tiers, making it impossible to move on the higher planes! How do we clear those away?" "Be easy my friend, Logician has begun to derustify himself. He's very good at this game, he simply hasn't played it in a while. There! You see what he did there? He sent a Hound with a secondary characteristic of Bomb in on the middle tier to clear both the upper and lower clusters. Now we have more room to summon and move." Eventually they wore down her defenses and she seemed to be about to lose, when suddenly...

Spoiler: OOC

Okay I'm back.Thought this thread would go under. good thing it didn't I only need 38 more posts to the morpheus badge and this is where my 1000th post would go.

The mercs (Now reunited with Zoey) wandered through post-apocolyptic London. They had to admit it wasen't so bad. The Zombies were friendly (Once there heads were blown off) unlike those zombies in city 17 and Wasington D.C. "Alright I hate walking. Why don't we just steal a car or something."said Francis. "I once narrated a carjacking" Said Billbob. Bill/bob walked over to the nearest car and touched it. The car alarm soon sounded and the entire group panicked. "What the hell! Who locks there car in a zombie apocalypse? Do they expect the zombies to learn to drive?" Yelled Louis. Zoey quickly cut down all the zombies with her auto-shotty and the rest of the group just looked at he. "What?" "Where did you learn to shoot a gun?" asked Francis. The question would have to go unanswered as a tank had appeared and is charging them.


Meanwhile at Nexus: Maddawg was taking a quick nap when a ninja Hunter crept into his room.

Hunter Pounced Maddawg but using his common sense he pushed the hunter off of him and then shot it in the face.

 

[RagnorakTres]

"King's Blood Four. You, madam, are finished." said Logician as he made what everyone assumed would be the penultimate move of the game.

"<color=FFFFFF>You think so? Talisman, activate!" said Gera as she moved her Ruler aside. The power that had been stored up by the Sorcerer was splashed around the board as the Talisman's reflective properties activated. The game was over. And the heroes had lost.

"Well, shit. We're all dead, aren't we." said Ram.

"Hmmm? No, there's still at least three rounds left, and we get to choose the next game. Oh, wait, I never explained that, did I...There are six rounds to this game of hers. She chooses three games, her opponent chooses three games. If a tie occurs, the final round is activated, which is a random game chosen by a neutral party. Her forte is strategy, so we need to pick something that has no strategy to it at all. And I think I have just the thing. Logician, have you the masks?"

"Indeed. Have you the game ball?"

"I do! Have you the magic to get everything else we need?"

"I believe I do! Shall we begin? You start us off, I have no singing ability."

"Alright.
*singing and dancing* Other kid's games are all such a bore!
They gotta have rules and they gotta keep score!
Oh, Calvinball is better by far!
It's never the same! It's always bizarre!
You don't need a team or a referee!
You know that it's great cause it's named after...
Well, actually it's named after Calvin, but that doesn't scan or rhyme, let's see...Ah, screw it, put on your masks and get out the time fracture wickets! It's time to play Calvinball!"

"<color=FFFFFF>No! I don't understand this game at all! Curse your eyes, you meddling child named Calvin, whoever you are!"
<spoiler=OOC>Here are the rules of Calvinball:
The Unofficially Official Rules of Calvinball

1.1. All players must wear a Calvinball mask (See Calvinball Equipment - 2.1). No one questions the masks.

*IMPORTANT -- The following rules are subject to be changed, amended, or dismissed by any player(s) involved.

1.2. Any player may declare a new rule at any point in the game. The player may do this audibly or silently depending on what zone (Refer to Rule 1.5) the player is in.

1.3. A player may use the Calvinball (See Calvinball Equipment - 2.2)in any way the player sees fit, from causal injury to self-reward.

1.4. Any penalty legislation may be in the form of pain, embarrassment, or any other abasement the ruler deems fit to impose on his opponent.

1.5. The Calvinball Field (See Calvinball Equipment - 2.3) should consist of areas, or zones, which are governed by a set of rules declared spontaneously and inconsistently by players. Zones may be appear and disappear as often and wherever the player decides. Zones are often named for their effect. For example, a corollary zone would enable a player to make a corollary (sub-rule) to any rule that has been, will be, or might be declared. A pernicious poem place would require the intruder to do what the name implies. Or an opposite zone would enable a player to declare reverse playibility on the others. (Remember, the player would declare this zone oppositely by not declaring it.)

1.6. Flags (Calvinball Equipment 2.3) shall be named by players whom shall also assign the power and rules which shall govern that flag for particular moment in that particular game.

1.7. Songs are an integral part of Calvinball and verses must be sung spontaneously through the game when randomly assigned events occur. These random events will be named and pointed out after the player causes the event.

1.8. Score may be kept or disregarded. In the event that score is kept, it shall have no bearing on the game nor shall it have any logical consistency to it. (Legal scores include 'Q to 12', 'BW-109 to YU-34, and 'Nosebleed to Trousers'.)

1.9. Any rule above that is carried out during the course of the game may never be used again in the event that it causes the same result as a previous game. Calvinball games may never be played the same way twice.

Calvinball Equipment

2.1. Mask - All participants are required to wear a mask.

2.2. Calvinball - A Calvinball may be a soccerball, volleyball, or any other reasonable or unreasonable, spherical or non-spherical object.

2.3. Calvinball Field - The Calvinball Field should be any well-sized field, preferably with trees, rocks, grass, creeks, and other natural hindrances to health.

2.4. Miscellaneous - Other optional equipment include flags, wickets (especially of the time-fracture variety), and anything else the players wish to include.

Pretty crazy, yeah? I love it. Just throw in equipment when you feel we need it. I'll post an end when the game seems to have run it's course.

 

[Daye.04]

Uh .. I really don't think I should be the first to start this. Ignore this, please

 

[Shapsters]

Spoiler

Ya, I don't know where to go with this either, I will wait until Ragnorak starts or something happens.

 

[Ramthundar]

Ram, putting his Calvin Mask over his his pointed nose, readied for the game.
"WEEE are the CHAMPions, my FRIENDS!!!" he squealed out, running after the Calvinball.

Spoiler: OCC to Ragnorak

Ok, sounds like a fun but very confusing game. How's about you, dear Ragnorak, start us off so we know what do do, k? Otherwise, we may end up playing wrong or, for the less patient members of this RP, not at all.

 

[RagnorakTres]

<spoiler=OOC>Alright, sounds fair. Though I have trouble believeing none of you have read Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson. Let's see now...
Ragnorak grabbed the ball. "Alright, let's get this party started! As I caught the Calvinball in the Zone of Judgement, I can make a random rule for everyone but me to follow. Let's start with...you have to end each call with a song title. It doesn't have to make sense, but it can!"

"AH! said the Logician, "But you are also standing in the Opposite Zone, so every call you make is reversed. YOU are the only one who has to end each call with a song title!"

"Ah-ha, but in the amount of time it took for you to explain that, I moved to the Wicket of Rejection, so the last call made is rejected!"

"But," said Ram, "you are now standing in the Oxen-Free Zone, so you have to punt the Calvinball away! Free ball! FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK!!!!"

Gera was completely confused by now. All the calls were swimming around inside her brain, she didn't understand what the point of this game was. She still failed to get the concept of "playing to have fun, not to win."

<spoiler=OOC>There, that help? The point is to have fun, not to perform a specific task. Anybody can do anything, but anyone else can counter it immediately. Just name random spots, probably ones that you or another player are standing on at the moment, that do things that you want them to do. Try to control the Calvinball, but don't monopolize it, and don't try to keep score. Do whatever to other characters (obviously, don't kill them or incapacitate them, and the game doesn't have any magical powers, just imagination) and NEVER (this is very, very, very important) duplicate something. Spots and Zones and Flags and stuff, are fleeting, ethereal, they disappear as quickly as they appear. You can duplicate effects, but never names.

And that's how you play Calvinball!
