We Are Our Avatars X (Closed, Ended)

[ShindoL Shill]

Forest

The woman stomped her foot on the ground, causing the wood to shake. Then, she made spikes of wood grow out of the floor, towards Cybil, Sally and Topaz. That is, until Sally reduced her head to mush, canceling the spell before it could do damage.

Sally's threats did nothing, however, due to the concepts of repenting and damnation not existing in elven religion. As such, it just sounded like vaguely threatening nonsense, which isn't that threatening really. The brutal killing, however, was. The other elves created a thick wooden wall to protect themselves from Sally's attakcs.

[color=FFCC33]"I wasn't paying attention to all the talking. Was this supposed to end in a fight?"[/color] Topaz asked Cybil and Sally as he summoned more chakrams. The ones he had already thrown disappeared.

 

[Wackymon]

Sally dropped her gun. "Let's stop this bloodshed." sally stated, holding her hands in the air, "I am now unarmed, and I will not attack, if nobody else attacks. The point being- You have sinned. Make amends, and let them back. Make death, you will receive death. My apologies if this is not the method you are used to. It's the method I've survived a thousand battles with. I'm sorry- Where I come from, if one attacks, one attacks to kill, and you grant the right to respond likewise. My apologies if it is not your custom."

After scanning the hall, the Terminator turned to his followers, looking over them slowly before giving them their orders; "Stay here. Do not let anyone through the doors. Kill any of your comrades who try to run, or your village will be terminated." With that, the fearless killing machine drew its sword and began quickly checking the side-rooms, kicking the doors down when needed.

 

[Drakmorg]

[color=9f2089]"Thanks for the cover!"[/color] Cybil appreciatively shouted back to Topaz.

Seeing Sally remorselessly turn a woman's head into red mush, Cybil was frozen in shock for a moment, then doubled over and vomited onto the floor.

"We... we surrender." a frightened voice came from behind the wooden wall. "Just... please don't kill us! We'll share the food with the others."

After opened a few doors, the Terminator would eventually come across a room containing a pile of dead guards. All of them had been killed with a bladed weapon, and the areas around the wounds were burned, as though the weapon had been on fire.

Robin slowly advanced up the stairs, approaching the situation cautiously, but basically already knowing what he would find.

 

[Wackymon]

Sally sighed, walking forward, unarmed, slipping her backpack off.
"I'm unarmed. I'm not going to kill you." she said, slowly waling out from behind the wood wall, "As it is, I will not force you to. I will not shoot, and I will not kill, except in self-defense." she said, "She attempted to kill me. I will kill nobody else. I know, I can't force you all to do so long-term by force." sally said. "So I will leave- You all will listen to the elves down below, and discuss what you have done. I will force nothing, and I will not attack, okay?" sally said, calmly. "Robin- W-would you mind taking my gun back downstairs. I'll be at the base of the tree, unless anyone calls me." she says.
She slowly walks downstairs, carefully. She looks to any of the elves she walks by, "Your leaders have sinned greatly- They put their lives ahead of their God's words. I shall leave- for one tried to Sin again, by ending my life. I reacted in the way of my homeland- I ended her first, for to kill in response is not a sin where I lie. I cannot force them to give what they have hoarded to you, but you may. Speak to them. I shall leave the way I came- Call me up if you so desire. I shall wait at the base of the tree." she says, going back down the tree the way she came. When she reaches the bottom, after her Steady wears off, she leans against the bark, "I'll just... Take a nap."
She then lies down, and goes to sleep.
[speech 110]

If nothing else happens, she seems to almost fall into the wood, and fall out of the opposite side again. She is no longer wearing the outfit she wore before- She's wearing what appear to be Wasteland doctor fatigues. She has a backpack on her back. She's still asleep.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Robin, hearing the tail of of Sally's speech as he entered, picked up her weapons with his mind, holding them at arms length and being very worried they may go off. He stopped for a second as he saw Cybil on the floor. "Are you alright?" he asked the catgirl quietly.

After scanning the bodies, noting the burn damage as strange, the Terminator checked the other doors. Having done this, it began to head up the stairs with a slow, cautious pace.

OoC: @Gearhead mk2: I can't check chat, what's going on?

As Sally explained what had happened, the elves all stared in shock. Sally was followed down by the surviving elders, who were carrying armfuls of their own food. They confirmed Sally's story, elaborating on what they had done over the years. The response from the other elves was one of anger, and the situation turned into a, non-violent, argument about what should be done with them.

Matilda left after Sally, unloading her revolver once she reached the base of the ladder. [color=006d5b]"That went... honestly better than I expected."[/color] she commented. When the pair of them reached the bottom of the ladder, they would start to feel tired, the drink they had had before leaving wearing off.

As Sally fell asleep, she would find herself staring up at an enormous tree. It was, in fact, the tree she was in at that moment. However, there were a number of differences; firstly, it was the only tree in existence. The only non-Sally thing in existence, in fact. Secondly, it appeared to be glowing brightly, almost like a star. Sally would recognise this as the glow that had been emitted from the elf elder's eyes as she used magic.

Sally would hear a voice, echoing around the vast nothingness she was in. "I will provide all you need to survive. You will not eat meat or other animal products. You will not harm other living beings, for any reason. You will not consume any living being's body, only what I provide to you. I am Videnavya, and these are my rules, which you will follow when inside my domain. Do you understand?"

Calibeth City

As the Terminator moved up the stairs, he would pass a room containing four mens' bodies. Three were in armour, but one was in finery. All of them, however, were dead, with similar wounds to the other guards. The Terminator would also come across a guard, carrying a burning sword. "What business do you have here?" the guard asked, raising his sword.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: @Kirke: Just some disagreement on what to do next. Sorted now.

 

[Drakmorg]

Robin would find Cybil curled into fetal position on the floor, quietly sobbing to herself. [color=9f2089][sub]"I messed up, couldn't do it right, couldn't stop it from happening..."[/sub][/color] She quietly muttered to herself, not seeming to notice Robin's presence.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Robin knelt down, putting his hand on Cybil's shoulder, trying to get her to calm down.

 

[Wackymon]

"Yeah. Shame about that one elf." sally said, "Now to just leave it to them to sort out- I can't watch over them forever. I need you guys to go and be an intermediary, because, you know, shot a head of state." sally said, "All in all, we did decently. Also- Try to avoid having them send the other elves down here, we don't want to make a vicious cycle. And tell Cybil I'm sorry- She did her best, but sometimes, a single bullet can say more than any words." sally said sadly. "She probably never learned the lessons The Wastes taught me, in her Utopia. I was like her, once. But, in the end, we opened up the gate for a better future." she said. She laid down, and looked at the wall.

"How do you think Robin will react?" she asked.

[hr]

"But what if they are theives? What if one takes enough that others cannot sustain themselves?" sally said audibly. Inside, she though, Holy crap what's going on- Some sort of psycic effect? Some sort of mental interface, like at point-lookout?

 

[Silence]

Anik went after the others:
"You seem to have made quite the impression." she stated in a neutral tone of voice.

 

[username sucks]

Topaz kneeled down at the body of the dead elf and poked it a few times. [color=FFCC33]"Soo... That's it? You're not gonna reform or anything?"[/color]

 

[Kirke]

Torture city: population: A Terminator, ten scared villagers and one very unlucky guard.
The Terminator did not directly reply, instead first taking in the dead bodies, and then the guard's burning sword.

[color=red]Target type: local guard
Armament: Bladed weapon, Incendiary, consistent with terminal injuries on other guard casualties

Conclusion: 
...

Interrogation mode: Active[/color]

After this short pause, the Terminator walked up to the guard and raised its sword, performing a quick attack. It was incredibly strong and accurate, aiming to cut off the guard's sword-arm by the wrist. If successful, it would follow up by saying: "Tell me what's happened if you want to live."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Could you stay with her?" Robin asked Anik. "I need to move these. I'll be right back."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

No, Topaz.
No she isn't.

[hr]

[color=006d5b]"I don't know. I do know you didn't do anything wrong, though. I'd have killed her, the same as you did."[/color] Matilda replied. [color=006d5b]"I do wish it could've been sorted without violence, but that's hardly our fault."[/color]

[hr]

The voice didn't respond to Sally's query, only repeating what it had said before.

The guard fell to his knees, screaming in pain. He didn't answer the Terminator, the shock of losing his hand causing him to lose focus.
