We Are Our Avatars V (Closed)

[CmmdrRosh99]

Seeing the fireball pass through, I sighed. Damned powerful magic. I unbuckle my sword just in case though.

"No problem!" Aisha said to Rex as she turned to me with a :3 face. "Sooo... How are you?"

"Been better I guess."

 

[Saltyk]

Majeh shrugs. "It's almost like I'm being invited in... Gee, I hope nothing happens." He says with a grin as he starts to walk forward.

 

[Random berk]

Mercer/Ellis watched the haze for a few moments more, then backed away from it. It didn't seem to do much, but he wasn't taking any chances after seeing what happened to the infected.

"You got something that needs to be said?" Jensen asked. That's unusual. "Lets hear it then."

 

[Slenn]

Reimu prepped her spell cards. She and Marisa followed close behind Majeh.

 

[DotSlash]

Yukino, tilting her head a bit, sends out a clone to run through the wall before she attempts to.

[hr]

Rex keeps his chain in gauntlet form, he hops in place a bit as its glow dissipates for now. He follows after Majeh, a bit cautious.

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

I follow after Majeh, keeping my sword at the ready, as Aisha has her Dual Tear Drops out (They reverted back to normal after the fight)

 

[Outisakanobody]

"You're not a psycho, or at least you're damn good at hiding it, so why are you still with this group?" Blondie asked Jensen, looking intently at him now.

 

[Random berk]

"Good question. I need to find a way home, and that seems to be the goal. Also, I signed on right from the begining. I made a commitment. And some of the people that I made that commitment to are still here. The others... I don't know. But I'm going to try and help finish whatever it was we came here to do, assuming it is on the level." Jensen replied, meeting Blondie's stare. "This is looking an awful lot like an interrogation. Have I done something to make you suspicious?"

 

[Drakmorg]

For those that walk into past where the barrier was, a large black building, modeled to look like a temple of sorts, seemed to ripple into existence as they pass through the barrier. The architecture and color scheme of the new building clashed entirely with the native buildings of the upper city.
Those who entered would also begin to hear whispers, urging them to enter the black building, sounding gentle and benevolent.

As Mercer moved away, the haze dissipated.

 

[Chungus]

"We should turn back. There is no reason to put you in harm's way like this." Caius said to Yeul, turning to her as he saw Majeh draw his sword.
"But I wish to see what is afoot."
Hearing Yeul's answer, Caius frowned. "That is reckless... Compromising your safety for the sake of curiousity."
"But I wish to see."
Although he grunted in annoyance, Caius relented. "This is most unwise... But very well then..." drawing his sword, he turned around and followed Majeh.
Yeul smiled slightly and did the same. Seeing the black temple and looked at it, slightly awestruck.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"No. The opposite. You seem like one of the only people here I'd trust, even a little. Seeing what this group is like, I'd hate to see you get killed for some stupid reason." Blondie said casually as he moved away from the wall he was leaning against and walked away from Jensen so that his back was now to him.

 

[DotSlash]

Rex takes a look at the building and sighs. [color=008888] "This is obviously a trap. Can I just blow the building up and get on with it?" [/color] He remarks to no one in particular as he follows the group.

Yukino rushes in as the clone walks through unharmed, humming a bit. She skips merrily toward the building. [color=bb66bb] "Yay~ Traps! More stuff to slash!" [/color]

 

[Saltyk]

"Oh, no. What ever could be in that building? Oh, I'm sure it's nothing. Probably a picnic. Or gold. We should totally drop our guards and walk inside." Majeh says loudly as he makes his way to the building.

OoC: I feel this maybe appropriate.

 

[Random berk]

Seeing the others move through the barrier unhurt, Mercer grimaced and then walked straight through it. He kept the katana at the ready as he advanced on the building, then dropped down into the street behind the others and sped up to catch up to them.

"Ok... I'm not in the habit of doing stupid things, Blondie. At least, not by the standards of the truly brainless. I've survived long enough in my line of work to know how to deal with a situation, and I can deal with a lot more than you might think. What's your point?"

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

Seeing the building and its whispers I frowned. It's a strange place no doubt, but it still warrants investigation.

Aisha's eyes lit up with the black building. "Hmmm... Maybe it wants us to go there? Maybe I'll find some loot!!! WOOH!"

 

[Slenn]

<color=red>"Could this be any more obvious? First rule of demonic investigation: don't trust 'em." She continued following, carrying her spell cards.

 

[Random berk]

"Where do you folks reckon this thing came from?" Mercer/Ellis asked Majek, Yukino and the others approaching the tower, back in character again. "Something the local army boys put up?"

 

[Outisakanobody]

"My point, is a dumb man with a lot of power can bring down a smart man real easy if he isn't careful. You're surrounded by a lot of dumb, powerful people, so I'm just giving you some advice." Blondie said a bit more sharply. He paused and tossed away his spent cigarillo. "I moved on to a little place not far from here, in a quiet part of town with that soldier. If you find it tough to deal with this motley crew, come over." he continued. As he said that, he walked toward the stairs and pressed a folded piece of paper into Jensen's hand.

 

[Drakmorg]

@Random: Apologies, but this might put a damper on Mercer 'staying in character', as it were...

As Mercer walked through the barrier with reckless abandon, he found himself impacting a magenta wall that rapidly formed, then he was covered in black flames that burned far hotter than any mortal flame. Due to his incredible amount of stored biomass, he wasn't immediately incinerated, but he felt himself losing mass quickly as the flames began to consume him. However, for what it was worth, he was past the barrier.

Those who approached the building would find that the entrance had massive, 20 foot tall doors. The doors were already wide open, showing a long corridor dimly lit by candles that hung from the walls.
The whispers continued, urging everyone to enter the building, they grew louder, but still sounded soothing.

 

[Saltyk]

"Must be a party. Is it somebodies birthday?" Majeh quipped as he waled into the doors, looking for any sign of danger and trying to sense any foes hiding in the dark.

He wouldn't trip any bobby-traps so easily, either.
