Jack walked into Red's Bar and Grill and took a seat at the bar. Zero and Youmu sat next to him, looking around the foreign place, noticing the empty stage with instruments for a band, a jukebox and the fact that there was nobody else in the place. Red turned from polishing a glass and chuckled. "So Death, back for a while eh? Hey, you know the rules, no minors." Red said. Jack looked at him with empty eye sockets. "They're with me Red, and they are both well and truly old enough to be here."
"So what brings you to my humble bar, Death and all of friends? And can I get you anything?" Red asked.
"You can get me a cold Toohey's New and a Rump steak and chips. Zero and Youmu will order when they're ready." Jack said, pointing at his two companions in turn. Red poured Jack his beer and then disappeared out back to begin cooking the meal Jack ordered. Jack then turned to Zero and Youmu and began to explain a few things. "When the Heroes have nothing to do, no goal or just want to regroup, Red's Bar is the place we all head to. It pops up in convienient times and places, such as now, and is one of the few traditional places in the Avatar Adventure, surviving restarts and endings of the universe. Anything you want, Red can cook for you, so just speak up and order something. I have a tab here, so no need to worry about paying. So sit back, relax, play some music on the jukebox or go play for real if ya want." Jack finished as Red returned with Jack's meal.

"Here ya go Death, one Rump steak, medium well, with a side of chips and BBQ sauce. Did I miss anything?" Red asked.
"Yeah, my beer's empty." Jack said, shaking his empty glass at Red. Red laughed and took the glass, giving Jack a fresh beer.

Soon Ryan awoke from his Coma, at first he had trouble breathing, it was like his lungs were in a compressor, however he soon began to adjust, it was likely just from having to regrow a new set of lungs. He then got up to look in the mirror to which he found H e had gone through a few changes. He wasn't to pleased with the overall result in the change of clothing. but he would just have to adjust as he couldn't think of any way to reverse the changes to his body. he preferred if the others didn't know until he found out how to fix it. but then again all the cool stuff happened in quests. he sighed A hero was bound by honor to help his friends in need and if there was to be a quest he knew they'd need his help. so he did what he could he grabbed a Bag, packed a leather bound Journal, a spare set of clothes. hr then grabbed his cane which held his rapier, his box weapon and his rings, the Vongola storm ring and a Steampunk ring with red gems. he saw a hat rack, he shrugged and grabbed a black bowler hat.

with his stuff packed he suck out to the hangar keeping out of sight from Black Harte.
Ryan then got to his Motorcycle It had been a while but he could easily reach Red's bar and Grill...... why did they always go to a bar Jack knew Ryan was an recovered alcoholic.
The started the motorcycle, it was good to feel the familiar vibrations from it, though once he sat on it he learned his new body was sensitive to vibrations.
"OOOOOh boy I'm gonna have to get used to that." he said his voice a few octaves higher than usual.
He then began his way to the Bar it wasn't hard as when you can fly distance is rarely a problem also the airship had been moving towards the bar cutting the distance to a few Kilometers he soon landed parked the motorcycle, and then drained all the storm flames from the fuel tank. he soon made his way to the bar.
yeah just a few more and I'm gonna straight forwardly say what changed.

Youmu waited for Red to make eye contact, then raised her hand again. "You know, I could really do with a drink about now. Got any good sake here?"

"Sure. It'll take a bit though, gotta dig through some boxes." He went to the back, and after about ten minutes, emerged with a bottle. He handed it to Youmu a little cautiously, then turned to Zero. "What about you, blondie?"

Zero, who had been staring at nothing in particular, finally looked up at Red. "Uh...nothing for me, I guess."

"Suit yourself. Whenever you want something, just ask." Red said, then returned to his dishes. Zero glanced at Youmu and Jack enjoying their things, then went back to staring at emptiness.

A Woman entered the Bar Jack had been Keeping his eye on the door because he had heard Ryan's motorcycle.
The woman who entered was in an unusual set of attire, in all fairness she looked like she had stepped out of a Victorian/Steampunk portrait she had a elegant black blouse, a Leather corset, attached to the Corset on the right hip was a sort of utility belt, it was a brown leather, with a few pouches on the left end of the belt a brown leather satchel hung. due to the corset Jack couldn't tell if the woman's black skirt was actually part of the blouse, making it a dress, or two separate pieces. The woman sat down at a booth ordered a coffee, claiming she didn't Drink, but was expecting to meet someone. a few minutes later her coffee came, but when she lifted the cup to take a drink Jack happened to see her hand, and an unusual ring on her finger. It was a Black and Silver Ring, instead of a jewel there was a oat of arms shield, on the shield was the image of a tornado.
Jack was taken aback, here was only one person who had that ring.
Jack approached the woman.
"So it would appear that You fixed your problem, but it had some odd affects."
"That is correct and it would appear that You saw through what most wouldn't."
"It's actually kind of obvious, to confirm my suspicions you have a cane with a Tesla coil on the top and I suspect you have a sword hidden in there too.
"o are you going to tell every one? or shall we try not to explain it as that'll give them a headache.
"Well we might have to like what can we call you?"
"Rhianna That's my name"
"I see lets see if they can't figure it out for themselves."
Jack then rejoined the others as did Rhianna
"Who's the girl?" asked Zero
"New hero lets just say she can replace Ryan."
Youmu had took a bug swag of her sake and being a lightweight had already gotten tipsy.
"He's probably sulking because no one likes him." she spat as in she literally sprayed anyone in her proximity was sprayed with spit
Rhianna giggled.
"My name Is Rhianna So where are you hero's going?"
so yeah if it's not obvious I'm sorry but I am going to go with the fact that no hero except Jack should know right now the others can figure it out slowly, Zero's a bot so he should be able to find out after a while.

Are you sure Youmu has so little restraint or is so uncultured that she'd drink enough sake right out of the bottle to get blotto in one go? Because last time I checked, her original job description (gardener/bodyguard) had nothing in it that would allow something like that.

Also, what is it that Jack knows, Zero will eventually figure out and Youmu will never be privy to? And what do you have against her, anyway?

Wait You really mean to tell me It's not obvious? well you can wait until The others feel like sharing.
also I do apologize But I knew Youmu didn't like Ryan so I was just looking for a reason she'd say something very rude without making her too mean.

<spoiler=OOC>RYAN! Seriously man, can't you play nice? Yes, Jack would notice the cane and rings eventually, but he wouldn't hide it from the others, he'd tell them. Also, as a character, Jack has never seen Rhianna you dope, even though I (Jakeman) have!!! GRAH!

Jack turned to Youmu and Zero and motioned towards a small booth in the corner. "Let's go over there, I really don't want this headache right now." Jack, Zero and Youmu took their drinks and went to the booth. Ryan Rhianna tried to follow, but Red appeared and blocked him. "I don't serve you kind here. I'll serve anything but Steampunk. So, please leave the premises. Now." Red said. Dejected, Rhianna went outside and hopped on her bike, flying back to her airship. Jack spoke up. "Thank you Red. Another beer please?" Red bought it over and then left the three in silence.

"So, do either of you two have anything you want to do, or adventures you want to go on?" Jack asked.

"(Righ now,)" Youmu mumbled in Japanese, "(allll I reeeeally need is someplaaace tooo...)" Almost immediately, she fell asleep, apparently unable to hold her drink.

Zero looked in the sake bottle and scanned the liquid. "Something's wrong with this. I can't tell what, but this doesn't seem like normal sake..."

"Red wouldn't sabotage anyone's drink," Jack told Zero. "And I don't--"

"Oh, really?" Zero interrupted. "Then why did he spend ten minutes in the back before bringing it out?"

"Let me finish. I don't know of anyone who could possibly put something in the bottle that you can't identify, let alone get it in there without Red knowing." Jack shook his head. "This doesn't look good for any of us..."

Yes Jack has never seen Rhianna but no one here has, but I'm saying that Jack figured it out because of his equipment he's also smart enough to guess that this was some sort of side effect from whatever Ryan did to fix the massive pain that was incapacitating him. so why did Rhianna have o leave and go back to the airship?, why didn't she just wait outside. Now I feel like your trying o get rid of me. and I Apologize I'm a weak person and and Forgiveness isn't a strong pouint of mine. But if need be I'll try to give leet a clean slate.
Rhianna was unhappy as she drove around the city, Steampunk? that was what the bartender's problem was. If she wasn't a hero she would have Taught that guy a lesson.
she paused to see someone getting mugged.
Rhianna didn't think her sword was out and she was running.
she had ran past the mugger, who's hands then fell off.
"Tail of the Dragon." she said.
the victim was freaked out by the strange woman who claerly sliced off the muggers hands grabbed his wallet and ran away.
rhianna shook her head
"This world is too damn crazy, and I love it"
And I have a little plan it goes on a few moments that might be neat I'll message leet on more

Why is it that I can't just drop stuff?

Every time I try to do something, I always feel obliged to do it perfectly even when I've almost never done it before. Also, I hold grudges from years ago, and I can hardly be civil with people I hold grudges against. Why can I never do anything right?

I just got banned from a Team Fortress 2 server, I was just rude to Orinon when he was (apparently) trying to patch things up (except then he was rude back to me anyway), I was also just incredibly mean to my parents, and I believe in a karmic afterlife. Where the hell did my life go wrong?

I haven't been a nice guy, I've been a jerk saying that the reason my Arc went wrong was you when It was full of holes and when people pointed at those holes I just yelled at them. I do't think it was our lives being tough It's just a trait we share, we don't handle these things well, there was once a time where I wasn't allowed to let my character fight, or I'd get banned I handled it horribly. But you know what lets just say this
I was wrong, you were wrong lets just see if we can get past it.
I don't know if you want to try my idea or not but it would answer a few anomilies in the currently going plot

Just decided to try out RP. Seemed like a fun thread. I didn't see any rules about random adds so I am just gonna ask now. Feel free to say no and you can treat the proceeding event like a random encounter. The character is The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai from Dishwasher: Dead Samurai XBLA game. I am attempting to follow his original agenda as best I can. The Dishwasher is a brutal character as well, so expect to read some vivid and graphic attacks (Not uncommon for him to bash peoples heads against a wall until they explode). Also I am not trying to OP the character nor kill anyone else, I chose Zero because he is a cyborg and therefor can be repaired.
In the game he hunts down a cyborg menace created by something called the Fallen Engineer. These cyborgs are poisoning the earth and the Dishwasher resolves to stop them. So he isn't evil, I am just trying to be canon with a twist. Also try the game out it is really REALLY fun (especially the second one.)[/spoiler][/spoiler]

Zero and Jack were on edge. Something was going on and it could not be good.

Suddenly, a black miasma seeped into the room through the door. They both looked over to see the miasma form into a person or what was once a person. The thing dressed as a samurai with black hair, pale skin, and fangs. He wore no armor other than the hat and the rags that covered his lower body and he swayed, almost as if he were just a walking corpse. He carried a sword as well meat cleavers baring the sword towards Zero.

"Who are..." Zero began as the person dissipated into the miasma again, only to reappear behind Zero poised to strike. Zero held his breath,
How the hell?

"Insipid poison. I will purge the world of you cyborg freaks!!!" The Samurai yelled as he began his brutal barrage on Zero. Zero attempted too fight back but the samurai was to quick, in a short barrage the samurai had Zero on his knees.

Screaming, the Samurai grabbed Zero's arm... and ripped it off with his bare hands.

In a blind rage, Zero slashed at the Samurai... but all he hit was the miasma left behind by the samurai. He was gone.

As Zero began to loose conscientiousness, saw a word written in blood on the wall.

It read: The Dishwasher must die, and then Zero passed out.

Rhianna could feel the presence of an evil presence. she had looked into her satchel to find she had a set of armor with her, excellent.
As The samurai advanced towards Jack and the others he laughed
"There's no one in this era with the Skill to defeat me."
a jet of flames blasted behind The samurai's head, he turned to see a woman.
It was Rhianna her outfit was prepared for Battle, forgoing the feminine and elegant dress.
she had a Vest made of steel fibers, bot flexible and protective, her shirt had metal plates to protect swords from piercing her vital organs. The belt had been altered, the bag was moved to the back, and it now had special plates hanging to act as shin guards.
The boots had a very high tops, the plates made it so her entire legs were covered.
her head was unarmored perhaps for some sort of sporting chance. red flames flowed along the edges of her Armour, storm flames but the Samurai didn't know what the flames meant.
"I am probably one of the greatest swordsmen in this era. I shall be your opponent."
she turned to the others
"This is my Pride allow me to do this."
Her sword came out of her cane, she pointed the Rapier at the Samurai Her challenge had come.

The bartender Began to object
"I thought I told you to get out of my Bar."he said angrily
A jet of storm flames blasted at Red forcing him to duck
"Stay out of this probable villain, what kind of Bartender draws the line at Steampunk?"
Welcome to AA My character is a partial Cyborg so ashe takes this as a challenge to her, plus she is also a master of the sword so it seemed a like she'd challenge the Samurai But I am happy to see the thread moving on

"Sounds like a good plan to me. Lets just hurry this along so we don't have to setup camp in this riverbed," said Justin regarding the plan. With that they started to go downriver and walked for about half an hour when they came upon an area that had a blocked line of sight. "Alright this looks like a good enough place as any to climb up," said Ken as he started to climb up. Once they were all up top Ken turned to the other two and asked, "Do you happen to have any binoculars or something like that? I ask because I'm going to go out there and draw the sniper's attention and I want you guys to look for where the shot came from."

You just...he did...and that was...



I-I-I feel like a hate crime was just committed. I'm...I'm just gonna go...sit in that corner for a bit...

/upset

Okay, I've calmed down a bit now, um...I'm just gonna play off this, see where this goes. I'm still a little shaken tho', and I don't really know what just happened, but I'll try my best.

As message after message relayed in his head, Zero slowly opened an eyelid. Then the other. Then his vision de-hazed and he found himself on the floor, some fluid seeping out from under him. He blinked, the microprocessors in his head on overdrive, but his head quite...slow. He saw Jack on his feet, but could barely hear his cussing and moving about, and of course, Youmu passed out on the table. Then he looked down. His arm (ironically, the arm with the broken buster) had been completely torn off, he remembered, by that samurai onslaught.

There were only two things that ran through his mind clearly then, a sarcastic "Well, looks like I won't be seeing my buster again any time soon.", which he tried to chuckle to, but couldn't. It hurt to breathe.

The second thought, rather silly but macabre, was the thing the samurai had written with (probably his) blood on the wall before he passed out.

The dishwasher must die.

Zero filed that away in his memory banks before passing out again with a discreet "thud" of his head hitting the floor.

Youmu groaned again. "(Where am...What the...?)" she mumbled, noticing a samurai and a lady she thought she'd seen get kicked out before about to begin fighting. Her vision was still blurred and her head was pounding. Thankfully, when she reached back to grab Hakurou and perhaps get her bearings back, it was where she expected it to be.

Acting instinctively, she pulled the sword out and tried to bring it down in front of her. The sword itself bounced off the samurai's armour, but the sword's magic worked on the air. Youmu then immediately noticed two things: that her vision had cleared but the headache remained, and that the samurai had turned around to face her.

Before she could say anything, he laughed in her face. "What woman thinks she could defeat me? Even with swords such as those...a real man's weapon!" Immediately, he drew his sword and stepped into a position where he could see both Rhianna and Youmu. "All right! I'll take you both on! There's still no way you can win!"

"What do you make of this guy?" Youmu asked Rhianna, trying to concentrate.

"All I can tell is, he's cocky and he's already committed a cardinal sin in dueling," the 'steampunk' lady replied. "He shouldn't be a problem at all. Got any special moves?"

"Well, I'm fast and I've got a sword that cuts confusion," Youmu told Rhianna. "Of course, the larger one is more important here. Want me to show you why?" Without waiting for an answer, she pulled a glowing object about the size of a playing card out of her pocket. Touching it to her sword, she started talking in Japanese: "(Think I'm just a girl? I'll show you what I'm made of! Ghost Sword 'Fasting of the Young Gaki'!)"

Rhianna assumed (correctly) that she'd been calling an attack. Youmu lunged forward and sliced at the samurai, who flinched back but looked otherwise unaffected. Then she jumped back the other way, and back and forth. When she stopped, the samurai still looked unharmed - but then all his armour fell off and his sword's blade fell off its hilt.

"Impressive," Rhianna admitted. "You might even be able to take me on sometime." She then turned to the now-naked samurai. "Why do you hate cyborgs?"

Jack moved from his position guarding the table and both Zero and Youmu when Youmu got up and used her special move. Motioning to Red, Jack picked up Zero and backed away from the fight. "I trust you two ladies have this situation under control?" Jack asked. Both Rhianna and Youmu replied with a "Yes!" at the same time, not taking their eyes off the samurai. Jack and Red moved to Red's workshop out the back, Jack carrying Zero, and Red with Zero's detached right arm. "How'd ya get that? I though the samurai had it??" Jack queried to Red. "It's my Bar. Duh." Red replied.
"Right. Shit, how do we reattach it?" Jack said. People he had lots of experience with, but not robots.
"Leave him with me, and I'll have him up and running in 10 minutes, ie the next post." Red said, breaking the fourth wall a little. Jack stayed but kept his distance, keeping an eye out for his friend Zero. Red donned a welder's mask and started his Oxy torch up, fixing the broken buster in mere minutes. Then he pulled out a small screwdriver and a large hammer, and after a good whacks and a few loose screws were tightened, Zero was all fixed up, and as good as new.

"Now we just need to figure out a way to start him up. Oh look, here's a spare energy canister I had lying around! And, there!" Red said.

The naked Samurai acted like he could still win, even though there were two sowrds pointed at him
"hahahaha, you think I need my Armour to win, I am unbeatable."
Rhianna looked at the samurai she then pulled that thing girls can do where they communicate by facial expression to Youmu
"You believe this guy" her expression said.
suddenly Rhianna appeared right next to Youmu
"Wait what did you do-" asked the the samurai, but he got his reply when his arms fell off
"Tail of the Dragon."
Rhianna then took the samurai's sword.
"Samurai you have lost, you are my first Match." she then set a comment aside to youmu "although I admit you deserve this victory as much as me, so I don't think this really counts on my list."
They then stood waiting to see if the Samurai would reply.
I feel a little bad since we just wrecked that guys character But now I've given My character a neat little mission have 100, one on one sword fights with renown or powerful swordsman.
