We Are Our Avatars V (Closed)

[Outisakanobody]

"Start at the inn. Don't take long." Blondie said over his shoulder as he walked briskly away.

"I just like seeing you happy. And chaos makes you happy." Blondie snarked in a deadpan manner to Yukino.

 

[Drakmorg]

[color=01B7FF]Perhaps I should have taken the idea of 'jinxing' more seriously.[/color] Yukimaru solemnly thought to herself as she heard the roar and felt a deep sense of foreboding. [color=01B7FF]"It would be prudent to make sure we are ready to leave at a moment's notice, zam."[/color] She said to Rex as she hoped up and went over to the window in the room. She opened the blinds and looked out to possibly get a sense of the current situation.
[hr]

Rozalin's gaze shifted between Blondie and Bryce as the two were moving in opposite directions of each other. Making her choice, she followed after Blondie, but not before shouting back at Bryce before he was out of earshot, "Be careful! Please!" She ran to catch up with Blondie, as her short bout of indecisiveness put her a decent distance behind him.

 

[TilMorrow]

Eve was drying herself off when she heard the roar and spun around in terror and looked out the window. "What was that?!" she said with a mixture of fear and shock in her voice.

[hr]

The Prisoner sits up and lets his unblinking gaze linger a moment longer unperturbed by the roar from outside before looking at the pad. He then began drawing intricate shapes of various designs on the pad.

[hr]

Jack and Darwin were just arriving outside the hotel as the roar emanated from the beast. He paused with his foot in the air before smiling evilly and looking at Darwin. "I believe something has arrived that is trying to rival my own maliciousness. This is most interesting." He says as he turns and looks in the direction that he guessed the roar had come from.

[hr]

A sound like various speakers turning on at once was heard throughout the city before a calm voice that some of the group was sure to recognise was heard. "Citizens of Troika. As you all known during the last few days tragedy upon tragedy has afflicted this city. Members of the masses such as yourself and military have been needlessly slaughtered by strange beasts, an enemy occupation and what some of you considered causeless rebels. Indeed the might of Troika has tried to keep you safe but their efforts have been cut down time and again and in light of the recent development I believe it is best to say the city has finally lost it's life. Additionally Evacuation Plan V.E. is now in affect. You're on your own now." Suddenly the streets were full of desperate individuals, some clutching valuables and riches whilst some carried their children or seemed to abandoned them, as they all rushed for one location, the Aerial Docks.

[hr]

The beast reached Troika's edge and forced itself up onto the city perimeter causing the whole structure to shake violently as it took time to balance from the sudden major increase in weight. The creature oozed up from the ground and onto the city, steadily gaining in height and mass. As it did so it opened it's mouth and the two Sand Wraiths from before burst forth and scanned the streets with barely contained hunger before rushing down a packed street and slicing at the populace.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Bryce smiled briefly at Rozalin's request, before recalling another memory. needles in armstump, man staring down to him grins and smacks him in face with stock. shaking, he heads deeper into the base, looking for any survivors. Bryce stops to note the various changes in sound around him, but shakes his head and walks deeper into the fort, his mind conjuring pictures of a mountain pass that he had last visited 19 years ago.

 

[Saltyk]

Majeh looks up. "Well, that isn't good."

He begins walking towards the hulking creature, looking back over his shoulder. "See if you can't get 'Hot Dog' to join up. I really could use the mutts help here. But don't let him know that."
He smirks as he looks on towards the beast's arrival. "An Envoy's work is never done. Well, you better be up to a Demon's level or you're gonna make me regret asking for help."

He disappears from the Iron Legion's base, making his way to the approaching behemoth.

OoC: I also wanna say that I have done nothing to harm the city or it's people. In fact, I worked for quite the opposite.

 

[DotSlash]

Rex nods toward the Prisoner as he hears the announcement by the man in the tower. [color=008888] "Good to see we're not hitting a language barrier. Please keep that pad with you and follow me and Yukimaru. My friends have things we'll need to ask you once we get the hell out of here." [/color]

Turning to Yukimaru, he says [color=008888] "Then we're packing up now. Check to see if anyone else here is sleeping and get them to follow with us. I'll keep an eye on our buddy here and round up the people in the lobby." [/color]

[hr]

Yukino giggles again as she heard Blondie. [color=bb66bb] "Awww~! You're so thoughtful, cowboy!" [/color] As she starts hearing the screams of people being slashed by the wraiths, her smile increases as she suddenly turns and starts sprinting toward the sound of the beasts. [color=bb66bb] Yeah... The calming sound of death shrieks... This is going to be a good day... [/color]

Inside her head, she can hear Skye making some sarcastic wretching sounds.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Blondie cursed to himself as the crowds appeared. He had sincerely hoped that there would not be this many people left in the city. He grunted and simply shouldered his way on. He caught glimpses of children being abandoned, but forced himself to keep moving. He saw Royce waiting nervously outside the inn. "We're going. Follow the crowds." he said. He then went around and quickly repeated this to everyone in the group that he came across. Once he had got everyone up and about, he indeed started following the crowds. He didn't seem to care when Yukino rushed off.

Royce and Echo followed at his heels. Royce served as a sort of breaker to make a path through the throng of people for Echo and Holly to get through.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

"Sounds like....Trouble..." D.master and Black said. "Should we stay here?" "No...we should make sure everyone here is safe..." Black drew her blade and waited, D.master teleported her Scythe to her hands and also waited, even case of an attack on the Inn.
_______________________________________________________

Holly continued to stick by Echo, trying to hid the fact she was scared.

 

[Drakmorg]

Yukimaru nodded to Rex and ran out of the room quickly. She ran about Apartments quickly, starting from the top floor and moving downwards. For every room she ran past, she stopped and popped her head inside to say, [color=01B7FF]"We have to move now, zam! Gather your things and get down to the bottom floor as quickly as you can, zam."[/color] This woke up the folks who were sleeping and caused them all to congregate in the lobby (OOC: Just saying this for the character's of people who aren't here so they don't get left behind). Once she had done this, she began to run a headcount.
[hr]

Rozalin frowned as the streets suddenly became quite a bit more crowded and she was shoved about by rude, thoughtless people. Not wishing to try and make it on foot anymore, she spread her wings and took flight, flying several meters above the crowd as she followed them to wherever they seemed to be going. She did her best to ignore and block out all the screaming and other terrible noises she heard.

 

[DotSlash]

Rex signals for the Prisoner to follow him as he wakes up the people on the couch and shoves them in with Yuki's group. He takes a step back as the ninja counts everyone up. [color=008888] This is quite a pain... [/color]

Pausing for a moment, Rex takes a look at the shapes the Prisoner drew, trying to make something out of them.

[hr]

Yukino continues her rushing toward the sounds of the beasts.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Bryce walks through the base, finding more and more gruesome signs of battle. It's at the point when he finds a man with his marrow broken open and a sign of a scythe that had embedded in his skull, what was left of it, that he stopped examining bodies. He eventually reached the holding zone in which the 4 battlestations sat, and there in its center lay its 6 commanders, killed with apparent ease. He stared down at the one Majeh had spoken to, who's sword was missing, as were all the others. There bodies surrounded a pile of ash, and from behind he heard a voice. "There were almost worth my time. The darkness will make great use of them, minus there souls."

 

[Demonjazz]

OOC: What did I miss

 

[Outisakanobody]

OOC: What did I miss

City is going down.

 

[TilMorrow]

Eve squeaked when Yukimaru had stuck her head round the door whilst she was rushing to put clothes on and concerned herself with the girl's warning rather than her modesty for the moment. She finished dressing and grabbing her stuff rushing downstairs to the lobby. Upon seeing Rex she ran up to him and asked breathlessly "What is going on?!"

[hr]

The Prisoner continues to draw his complex shapes with his legs crossed to balance the pad on.

[hr]

Jack and Darwin stood stock still as the crowds of panicking citizens rushed past them. Jack was itching to separate some voice boxes from their owners to deal with the insistent screeching slightly but kept his cool when he saw a small group of those he recognised had formed outside the inn before setting out through the crowds. Suddenly torn between chasing after this new target and waiting for the creature to appear, Jack felt indecisive before deciding to shadow the group and deal with the rival later. He motioned to Darwin and they began stealthily following after Blondie and Co. whilst using the rushing mobs as cover in case they looked behind themselves.

[hr]

The Sand Wraiths were relishing in the fresh slaughter and bounty of the panicked crowds of Troika's citizens, separating their flesh and bone with claws of steel that emerged from the rags of sand that covered their arms and devouring their souls with great gusto. As one impaled a husband and his wife with one swipe, he noticed the crowd split slightly as something headed for them. Absorbing the souls and dumping the empty carcasses, the Sand Wraith turned towards the point of interest and charged forward, bringing it's claws in an upwards cleaving moment as they sliced through people's flesh and hopeful the strange thing coming at them.

[hr]

The beast had pretty much oozed itself onto the city as it's head opened and roared again before it began oozing over buildings and through streets, destroying them, whilst tendrils shot forth from it's skin and spiked helpless citizens as they ran and dragged or snapped them within the black fleshy surface of the horrific Eldritch abomination.

 

[Saltyk]

Finding the abomination, Majeh created a small fireball which he threw at it to get's it's attention. "Hey. Who or what are you? You should know that Hell is not okay with such things as you absorbing souls."
He stands atop a building with his arms crossed, his usual confident grin plastered on his face.

 

[Outisakanobody]

OOC: Sheesh...kinds almost seems unrealistic to think anyone is getting out of this city at all...

Blondie led his small group forward, forcing himself to ignore any and all tragic scenes around him. After a bit, his resolve was worn down and, while still moving, he cast a quick, searching glance around the immediate crowd, specifically looking for any small children that may have been in danger. (Hoping you will facilitate this, @Nile. )

Royce, fearing something would happen to them, turned around and quickly picked both Echo and Holly up, carrying them along.

 

[DotSlash]

Rex shakes his head as he sees the prisoner is still sitting there drawing. [color=008888] Looks like there actually is a language barrier after all... [/color] Picking up the prisoner like a stack of boxes (to keep the prisoner's legs crossed and therefore, the pad balanced), he turns to Eve with a groan. [color=008888] "City's going to shit. We need to get out of here a.s.a.p. Bring anything you're gonna need. We're moving real soon." [/color]

[hr]

Coming near the wraiths and ruthlessly slashing and consuming the souls of the citizens fleeing, Yukino slashes a fireball at the wraiths with her katana as her black mist begins to envelop her. [color=bb66bb] "Hi there! Shall we have some fun~?" [/color]

 

[Drakmorg]

Yukimaru raised an eyebrow at Eve as she heard her. [color=01B7FF]"Short answer, I don't know, and I'd rather not stay around long enough to find out, zam."[/color]
Upon finishing her headcount, Yukimaru heard another roar, this one sounding substantially closer. [color=01B7FF]"I think that should be our cue to make an exit now, zam. Let's go everyone, zam!"[/color] She announced, then led the group out into the streets, whereupon she began to follow the fleeing the crowds of people, figuring they had a better idea of where to run to than she did.
[hr]

Rozalin continued to follow the crowds of people from the air. She actively tried to keep herself from looking back as she heard the terrible, distant noises.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Black and D.Master were running the rooftops, following the crowds and seeing if they had an idea of where to go.

"T-Thanksss!"" Holly said ot Royce, as she was picked up.

 

[DotSlash]

Following the ninja, Rex grunts as he struggles to hold the prisoner and follow Yukimaru at the same time.
