Can we use characters from our own settings? Even if they're from RTD's?Yes.
Can we use characters from our own settings? Even if they're from RTD's?That was the point of the first game before everyone realized how boring that was and abandoned it.
HELL YEAH POST APOCOLYPTIC COWBOY TIMECan we use characters from our own settings? Even if they're from RTD's?Yes.
((And it isn't the point of the original thread.))((Which is precisely why it failed. It doesn't have to be complex, nor compelling, something simple as enemies appearing or starting in a generic dungeon is fine, what is important is an objective, one that may be succeeded by another upon completion.))
Everyone....wakes up. An airship is floating over head.
To the east, there is...a strangely familiar city. To the west, a forest. To the north, plains and to the south, more plains.

Kyle shrugs before pointing to Lizzie.
"So, she's a cute little necro. What's she doing out here in a cave?"
Kyle raises his eyebrows."...Have fun with that..."
"I have, accidentally but the point stands, flirted with walls and they reciprocated. I actually managed to sleep with the anthropomorphic personification of said wall. She was quite nice if shy."
((Wolf got there a while ago. Also, how did you know it was Wolf?))
Wolf watches everyone nervously,
"And nobody thinks going to the city would be a better idea than staying here in the open?"
"My airship has cabins that are vacant."
((Wolf got there a while ago. Also, how did you know it was Wolf?))

((The not quite green text was the tipoff.))((That's what I thought, I try to give my characters distinctive texts and his was teal))
Miranda gives Wolf a 'how the fuck should I know?' look.Wolf gives her a neutral look in return.
She looks equally strange at Tasrak.
"You ain't talkin' about parlor tricks."
"I'd be happy to demonstrate if I had a corpse handy."Wolf blinks a couple of times, and his hand starts slowly creeping towards his sidearm, which looks like it could pack a fairly nasty punch.
"Oi, boya. No shootin' anyone. Not even the self-proclaimed 'undead' over there.""As you say."
Miranda's used to THAT particular kind of stuff, so....
"...it's called a gun, doc."
Rex is punched back, rolling around in the air until he regains his senses. Rex tries to bite the thing's head off.Wolf begins running in that direction.
Lizzie places the book down and closes her eyes. She gestures her hand over the book, and a mysterious purple energy is drawn from the book.
"Mortum." she quietly incants before gesturing at a nearby sapling. A slow bolt of purple light strikes the sapling and it withers to death.
Kyle stands up and walks into the forest while pulling out a glowing pistol.Wolf's sidearm is in his hand pointed at the ground now.
"Look here you prick. It's probably some kind of Lich in the forest not this girl here. And she casts one death spell and you immediately assume she is a necromancer? Maybe you should think about yourself. Racist."
Kyle stands up and walks into the forest while pulling out a glowing pistol.
"Look here you prick. It's probably some kind of Lich in the forest not this girl here. And she casts one death spell and you immediately assume she is a necromancer? Maybe you should think about yourself. Racist."
"...I am this close to pointin' Bonnie here at myself.""I wouldn't advise that."
"None of us seem to know. Are you some kind of paladin?"
"Great. Let's make something clear then. If you dislike unliving folk, we're not going to get along."
((It's a clockwork orange WITH DIMETHYLMERCURY?!?! We are fucked. :I))((Nope. It's a clockwork oroblanco with something that acts like dimethylmercury :P))
Well then. They reach a clearing easily. There's a chubby man there with a scantly clad zombie. If one looked around they would find a book that if they had knowledge of liches would clearly be a phylachtery.
There's also a cottage a bit behind him. And yes, any fight would be somewhat anticlimactic as they would be fighting a chubby pervert.
Miranda goes far enough to see that and instantly turns back to find the nearest bastion of sanity."Did… did you find something out in the forest?"
Wolf lowers his shooting arm slightly
"Is this guy even a threat?"
"We could. You're Elizabeth, right? Name's Miranda. Pleased to make your acquaintance.""Yep. That's me! It's nice to meet you too, Miranda. So. Um… what do you do, if you don't mind me asking."
Miranda leads Elizabeth up to the airship, if at all possible.
"Private eye. Detective. Whatever you'd like to call it, that's how it is."in other news, meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh. twisleepy.
Miranda seems to constantly glance everywhere, as if paranoid or something.
"The Stigma of Undeath drains my power when it's revealed. I can use minor magics with it hidden, but to use my better magic I must take the eyepatch off."
"Yes, I will live here I suppose," she says before looking towards the other person. "Not only can I see with this eye--I can see better with this eye. I can sense the undead."
Rex falls down again as he dies. Lizzie zaps him and his eyes glow green again.
Kyle nods.((Kyle, see my previous post))
"Cool."
"quite the company we have here"
Wolf seems to have recovered from his shock and is sitting on a chair in the corner.
((Also, I'm mind reading Kyle. And no, you don't sense it, I'm just analyzing the electrical impulses you give off.))
"Uh huh. So, I'll leave you two to it. Squire, prepare my cheesecake! I'm hungry."((I wonder if autometacannibalism is a thing :P))
((I'll join once some actual direction is given to this.))((@Elf, for Ellen, how much damage per poison counter per turn do? How much of a dex penalty should each delay token inflict?

What should the damage-to-counter stat exchange rate be?))Spoiler (click to show/hide)Spoiler (click to show/hide)
"Right, any plan? Or do we just charge in?"
Rex would probably go and bite some people with his sharp teethHow does he move actually?
"Aw hell, we have migrants already?" Rex speaks up, returning to the cottage out of boredom.((LOLZ))
((LOL WTF WHY SO MANY CHARACTERS?))((It wouldn't be Everything: Gaiden without it.))
"And who might you all be?"((LOL WTF WHY SO MANY CHARACTERS?))((It wouldn't be Everything: Gaiden without it.))
They seem to be walking towards the cottage.
The dog looks up at the man/woman/alien thing. He studies him with solid yellow glowing eyes.((are you talking to me?))

((No, that one was from another game."I don't have a problem with it, but technically it's not my decision. You'll have to talk to the... necromancer... inside."

Yeah, the P3!Yukari/P4!Naoto/Twisted Fate expy was just the worst one on the forum.))
The dog nods.
"You mind if we stay here for a bit?"
((Tvtropes not cooperating :<))((I maek you characters page. now be free.))
((I recommend adding One Steve Limit, Averted, to the tropes page. See: Lizzie and Lizzy.))see above for miranda
Elizabeth just looks around the city from the tower, hoping at least she could find an explanation as to where they are.
Different canon. Nope. No more characters for you. :3Why noooot
go bug an ammonia-breather.boring :c
Also rawr.
Seriously, though, Miranda isn't going to recognize Robert, this is a different one entirely.In that case, no Robert, I wanted to do some other schmuck anyway.
The wanderer listens into Tasrak, Miranda and ElizabethElizabeth-chan.
((Oh my god that list is sexy))((This is my opinion on such, as well. Also you messed up near Jim. He ain't a squire, he's a courier.))
((Looks like some sort of plot or direction is required...))((I made the canvas, go paint on it. Or something.))
Cola and burgers seem to be a foreign concept to Louie.((Along with cafes, soft drink in general, electronics, coffee and people worshiping gods that aren't depicted as bees.))
"No.""Know any locals? Or where this is?"
Graham decides to head out and explore. He goes back to the cottage to ask if people want to join him.There seems to be a large citrus fruit on the ground that begins addressing him in a slightly muffled, mezzo-soprano voice.
"Hail. Do you folks want to do something?"
Hey, about stats and such: how important are they, really?((Only Graham has really used them so far. I think. No on-screen combat has happened yet. Unless a mugging counts.))
"We thought you were. Or did.""So, you two don't know either?" Ellen seems slightly deflated. Or would seem, if an oroblanco could actually deflate that is.
"Oh good, something I actually have experience with. I'll be happy to go with you."
"Fighting? Like in an arena?"
"I have no idea. I just thought you were some sort of cosplayer.""Oh good, something I actually have experience with. I'll be happy to go with you.""Woot. Wait, how do I know what that means?"
"I had hoped you had, Monsieur."
"A bar fight? Hardly a fair fight." He chuckles.
Tasrak ends up wandering back to the cabin in the woods.
"Please tell me something interesting has happened."
((Ellen is a robotic citrus fruit. Who happens to be talking. And can be construed as annoying.((Unfortunately, oroblancos are not very acidic.))
A bad joke is to be made here, I can feel it.))
"...I am not going to mug you; I poison people; mugging ain't my forte. You don't fight for freedom by mugging people, now do you?"
((Gonna try to color people's names to match their speech when possible/practical. This is gonna be fun. :v((Twi~ *glomp*))
EDIT: Turns out, custom colors can use hexcode! So I'll be needing some of that. :v))

Tasrak digs through a pile of scrap metal and finds a head. A metal gnomish head."Is that supposed to be a head?"
"Database? Anyone here good with IT?"Elizabeth's grin widens rather quickly, and proceeds to look towards the MechaGnome.
"This is a fascinating find. The last time I met a mechagnome it was rather...hostile. At least this one isn't going about the 'curse of flesh'."
Nothing in the immediate vicinity appears to be functioning.
"Supposedly, when the Titans first created us, us being gnomes, we were all made of metal."Huh. So… How'd all of the gnomes become all.. squishy? I mean, as opposed to Metallic. Also, it's your call for if we're taking it back with us or not. I can still check out what it knows here, but still..."
"Transhuman from getting shot; had my mind transferred to a combat bot. The usual. Who are you by the way?""That is sooooo cooooooool! Hmm.. We could check this stuff out back in town, right? We just need to bring the parts somewhere there."
A quarian is wondering around with a shotgun in his hand. This is odd as it is a claymore and would break his shoulder under normal circumstances.
"What does it do?"
"I suppose I may no longer call it Yorick then; how do we turn it on?""I've got No Clue! Tasrak? It's up to you, now. Okay?"
Keith shrugs before speaking.
"Maybe. Vhat is it you need?"
Keith nods.
"Okay, I'll help you look."
Keith points over to the part of town that looks most technical.
"Over there might be best."
Keith shrugs.
"It's vhere I vould go."
Keith does indeed lead the way.
Keith looks around rubbing where his chin would be on his face plate.
"I haven't seen her..."
Meanwhile a suspicious-looking hooded priest is beseeching people for alms.
Keith motions for the woman to continue following him as he continues the search.
Meanwhile, somewhere a pack of fluffy nomadic space raptors is working on a novel. Cuz fack it, we need NPCs. :P
...actually, said somewhere appears to be an aerostat floating high above the city, held up by the winds. The anchoring structure with its little cable-climbing car is rather cute, and features a number of kiosks and screens on pretty much every surface imaginable. The cable itself appears to have been used for holographic advertising, amusingly enough.
The city seems to be a mix of modern, medieval, renaissance and futuristic.
Miranda can see a modern cafe right next to a tavern called the Snail's Leaf.
Well, a mixture of whatever races you can think of and more seem to populate the place; Avali, goblins, tieflings, orks, etc, etc.
And they don't seem to be attacking others, either.
Weird place. Go definey and shit. All I said was there was a city of everything adventurey stuff.
((I like how he doesn't mind the fact that he's a fluffy nomadic space raptor. XD))((He doesn't realize that. That thought about wizards having an odd sense of fashion? It wasn't just referring to the trenchcoat, goggles and cloak. He is under the impression that Brauri is an eccentric wizard who dresses up as a fluffy space raptor.))
((That would require Brauri being four feet tall to begin with, presumably. ))((Size-shrinking spell. Or midget wizard.))

((Why? It's quiet obviously science powered.))((Or more accurately, science-fiction. Special are not necessarily fantasy attacks.))

"I do not believe we have met, dear. "

Miranda exists, I guess.Elizabeth continues to exist near Miranda. And probably Marie still.
"Greetings."
Annabelle takes in her surroundings.
The schoolgirl, aka Fuuka, may or may not wander into the bar."Aren't you a little too young to be in a bar?"
She ends up sitting next to Gaston."Hiya! Uh.. I don't think we've met yet. My name's Elizabeth Calipso. It's nice to meet you, sir…?"
"It is possible. I was flying my group's starship when a portal suddenly opened in front of us and sucked us through."
Meow turns to Elizabeth.She holds her hand out, with a chuckle.
"You can call me Meow."
( Gah, I can't keep up with this nor join in with the action )((:3))
Dany is sneaking into whatever the group's accommodation is to find anything of value, since they seemed like the least dangerous group of adventurers in this city.Which, the cottage or cave?
"The three of us could band together and do great things. Like build a giant mecha.""Ehehheheheh… That sounds like a wonderful idea! Then again, this place doesn't seem that dangerous, actually. I did end up helping fix up a broken robot… gnome… thing. That was fun."
Lizzie makes some popcorn and sits back down next to Kyle.
Let's say cottageDany is sneaking into whatever the group's accommodation is to find anything of value, since they seemed like the least dangerous group of adventurers in this city.Which, the cottage or cave?
Gaston, Andon and Eina are chilling still. The schoolgirl is with Cheru by the entrance.
Dany attempts to sneak out while the others are distracted.Success, I suppose?
Lizzie gently pushes into the kiss and wraps her arms around him.((*looks at watch and waits for fade to black*))
((Is this my cue to prep a karma roll table with casaba howitzers and false-vacuum metastability events as possible outcomes?))Lizzie gently pushes into the kiss and wraps her arms around him.((*looks at watch and waits for fade to black*))

The boy whizzes past Andon, running away from nothing.Andon sighs.
Andon's shadow thing swiftly slash at the titan's head, tearing it up a good bit.The Schmerzgeist continues to slash at the titan, cackling with a cruel, echoing voice at its pain.
Eldon slams his foot down on the thing's face.
"What!? But my squad was behind me just a few minutes ago!""You've been warped away from your world. Your squad probably only just saw you disappear. With the titan."
"That's good to hear... So, there aren't any titans..?""Apart from them and your....other side, no."
Lizzie steps outside. After seeing the large amount of people, she steps back inside out of shyness.
"I-I guess so... so what is this place exactly?"Risa shrugs. Andon finally gets up.
"As long as it doesn't have any titans.""You alright?"
"No. I'm worried about my squad.""I'm sure they're fine. I hope so." Risa smiles reassuringly.
"Yeah. Whose house is that?""A very reclusive necromancer's."
"A necromancer? Aren't those evil?""Well, she's grumpy, but I don't think she wants to kill us all."
"What the hell are you all doing back here?" Rex says, suddenly flying next to Risa."We just stopped a huge giant thing from stomping on your house."
"Cool. Lizzie told me to tell you all to stop making so much noise.""Good on her." Risa holsters her pistols. "Andon, I'm gonna head back to the cave to check on None, okay?" She nods and walks into the woods.
"Do you want to die? Leave me alone."Andon looks at Luke. "Like Risa said."
"Sorry Andon, I am absolutely blind." It seemed like he could not see where his pen dropped."Behind you."
"What was that thing that came out of you?""...my dark side."
"Really..? Huh."Andon nods, his breathing becoming less ragged as he calms down and the pain subsides.
"I kind of have a dark side.""I know. I saw."
"My magic is not a gift. It's a curse. I hear voices. Bad voices."Andon nods in sympathy.
"Ghosts are only fragments of memories. They don't make conversation unless they're an intelligent undead." she remarks, looking down. They would see a tear fall out her eye in the night.Andon nods in understanding.
*ahem*((No Kj.))
Andon just listens intently.As does Elizabeth.
Lizzie slowly nods, wiping the tears from her face and walking inside to serve dinner.Risa and Gaston walk up to her, shaking their heads.
Tasrak examines all the tech in the cottage, clearly fascinated by it.Apart from the TV, Meow and Luke, there are also Risa's twin laser pistols, the nano wrap bandage case, the matter manipulator, and possibly Eldon's 3D Gear.
(( You know WHAT I'm fucking DONE being ignored((then do something then))
I CAN'T START DOING INTERESTING THING IF YOU DON'T EVEN GIVE ME A FUCKING CHANCE

FUCK YOU ALL ))
(( Oh I DON'T fucking KNOW what I am suppose to do that doesn't get acknowledged for a SINGLE post then IMMEDIATELY DROPPED ))((uh try stealing from someone who's online?
"No. I would know, I come from the most technologically advanced race on Azeroth. Well from Azeroth I should say."
"Ah, Lizzie won't care. Let's go crazy!"None shrugs and relaxes slightly.
Eldon turns to the new girl.
Folr starts approaching the cottage attempting to discern any occupantsThe door might be ajar, so a anthropomorphic dog and a catgirl might be visible.
((Echo data being magic signatures, right?))((Yes, but only from recently cast spells.))
He would probably see whatever passes for Lizzie's spells and Luke's ink, and a strange aura surrounding one particular person.((For future reference, it's more like infra-red view than actually sensing the magic, hence finding out the actual spell and whispers may not be possible.))
If he focuses on it, he hears garbled, frenzied whispering.
((That aura and whispering thing is the equivalent of echoes in Andon and Eina's world. The whispers are unique to Andon, as is the aura to an extent.))He would probably see whatever passes for Lizzie's spells and Luke's ink, and a strange aura surrounding one particular person.((For future reference, it's more like infra-red view than actually sensing the magic, hence finding out the actual spell and whispers may not be possible.))

Spoiler: Hippasus (click to show/hide)
((Before I go to sleep, I need to ask Elf to verify Objective's entry- I think that's what he is waiting for))((Well, not that it's needed, but in?))
"Whew! That was hard." the holotablet floated back to Meow. "I guess that you guys here are adventurers as well? Hippasus liked the sound of adventurer more than exile, they decided.Risa walks out.
Eldon blinks at Cheru.He examines the blade, scrutinising it, before vanishing it again.
"H-how... how did you do that?"
"You're spot on, actually. Titans have one weak spot--the napes of their neck. One well placed cut there and they're dead.""Best method of killing such creatures; a catapult from behind. Or a big gun."
"Cannons don't work that well on titans, nor catapults. Those can incapacitate a titan, but it will eventually regenerate.""Hm. Try shooting a load of knives at their necks."
"It could probably be improved, but it works well either way."Cheru nods as he just twirls a flute in his hand.
"Mhm. Thanksh for the food." he says, still chewing."No problem."
"Won't be a gentleman if I asked who, right?" Luke chuckled, asking no more about the girl."Oh, no, she isn't here."
"I'm good at deducing though. So I might know." Luke laughs jokingly.
"Ahh, that's a shame. She must be worried about him!""She doesn't sound like the kinda girl to be worried that much."
"Hm? She doesn't?" Luke started to get interested, all while he was eyeing on what Tasrak was doing.Risa shrugs. "I don't know anything else about her though."
"What could be doing?"Luke thought.
Luke went upto Elizabeth."Welllllll… I'm just trying to see how much of what I can do, without going too deep with it. I mean, I can sorta just… go right into the computer completely, but I want to see just how far I can go from the outside before I'd need to dive in. You see what I mean?"
"You seem to be quite cheerful. What could you be doing?"
"I see..." Luke got a strange sense of attraction towards the poor explanation.She grins, and proceeds to take the lollypop.
Luke offered Elizabeth a lolipop.
((Solution: don't ship))((You said that to the wrong forumite, my friend. ELF IS THE GOD OF SHIPPING~))

"I made it for Eldon. Do you like it?"
"Do idols these days carry lazer pistols?" Luke asked with a smile."A girl's got to protect herself."
"how? How can you be so cheerful? You said that you feel alone! How can you bear it and walk away?" Luke didn't understand."It's simple, really." She smiles. "A friend of mine told me that no matter how alone you feel, there's always someone there for you. No matter what."
Kyle glares at Risa before kicking it back out.She carries it.
"Not your house."
Marie pesters elf to add the phone book to the OP. Because Marie. :P((I recommend doing the same for the Relation Grid.))

Not the only naked rock hard part of his body.Yep.
Meow goes back outside and resumes working.Gaston peeks outside before shaking his head.
A loud stomp is heard outside followed by mechanical motors.
Eldon spits out his dumplings and sets a hand on his 3DU gear, "TIIITANNS!"
Keith grabs Davy and walks back to the cottage.Elizabeth is just outside the cottage, typing away at her computer.
Elizabeth gets an email from Marie because lol."Huh? An email, for me? Well, let's see… I wonder what this is..."
Luke is heavy breathing. He seems to be having the nightmares again.Risa just rubs his arm comfortingly.
"What he said was right wasn't it?"He mumbles in his sleep. He looks distressed, guilty.
Marie's club is open. Of course.
Miranda sadly isn't looking for trouble. Trouble's usually fond of looking for her.

"You sure? You're awfully nervous for someone who didn't say that."
"I heard you have to perform in a club today. Should we go?" Luke said, closing his book.She nods.
Kyle sits at the bar and observes the goings on.
Wait, when did Risa change into a skirt and stockings?
If anyone's interested, although Risa isn't booked for right now, Club 404 IS open. It can be easily spotted by the fact that its corner is warped and it shares the 3d space with a storefront on the other side of the corner that is also four-dimensional, albeit unrelated to Marie. Basically, something kinda like that gallery room in Antichamber, where the different sides show different interiors. Also, the entrance is decorated with a rather lively display of Marie who waves at passersby and occasionally engages them in conversation. In third person, for some reason. It also says CLUB 404 in large neon lights. :P
The display!Marie advises Kyle not to sleep with the bartender.
...The bartender is indeed cute. And flirty.
The whole place seems to be built of darkness scattered with stars, shimmering softly on its own with barely enough solidity to distinguish wall from not-wall. On one side, there's what looks like a cross between a bar and fast-food counter, crewed by a few maid-robots and a slightly draconic (and underdressed) bartender. While she flirts blatantly with the clientele, it doesn't look like Kyle's going to get his turn for the next five minutes. There are plenty of tables scattered around, and of course there's a nice huge dance floor straight ahead, with a stage for any special guests. On the other side of the dance floor, basically all the way across the room from the bar, is a lovely DJ station worthy of Marie. And that's who's using it.
This is the bartender. Although she has slightly more pants than that. (http://img.ie/qzz28.png)
Risa goes over to talk to Elizabeth-chan."Hiya.. Uh, I'm Elizabeth. What's your name?"
"Hi!"
"Well, I'd normally say you're probably too young for this, but you can never tell with some of these customers. I should know, I'm a shapeshifter myself. If you're buying anything alcoholic, sweetie, I'll need to see your ID.She blushes (quite) a bit at that idea, and nods no slightly.
Oh? Looks like you're popular! Stealing my boys and girls already, huh? Growing right up into a cunning little temptress~"
-snip-
"H..hi Risa.." Luke said, blushing. He is not looking in her eyes like he does to everyone."Hi!"
"Thanks! That means a lot."
"Risa. Nice to meet you." Risa smiles."Nice to meet you too, Risa! So.. you preform? I wish I got to see it, It must've been really, really good. Oh well.."
One imperial officer IS here. However, he's far too busy enjoying Stormreach wine.
She giggles. "You're not boring at all."
Twi waits for tsundere elf to be too lazy to rp said imperial officer.Elf would.
((Shit, Lizzie and Eina be getting into a tsundere three-way battle royale now!))Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The Harukometo cometh.
A low rumbling can be heard in the skies.
"You don't say, Sherlock.""I'm made to be honest. Not psychic."
Bonus points for Sherlock Hound reference?!?
"I'm made to be honest. Not psychic.""Well, it was pretty obvious yesterday. You weren't here for that, were you? Did you come to offer your services?"
"Psychologists are tend to be observant." Luke smiles.
"I miss that bartender already. Wonder if there is a way to get her out?"
"That detective, how she caused unecessary wreckage, even if it was on self defense, for one girl.. she is very tempered or the bartender is very strong. Could be both. A violent girl huh...sends me shivers."
Luke shvered, biting his coke flavoured lolipop.
He warps a mug into his hand.
"That good enough?"
"Or lack thereof.""It's true you're no substitute for Ori, but those flutes are neat."
"A true master of logic wouldn't dissolve into a pile of mush from looking at a pretty girl."
Luke is suddenly slapped by an unknown force.
"Looks like my brother is going crazy again." Luke sighed.
((An Anthropomorphic Supercomputer? Well, it's safe to say that she'll be shipped with Lizzy.))((That'd be kinda....wrong....considering how old Lizzy is.))
((Candy ship. Titan is also a loli.))((An Anthropomorphic Supercomputer? Well, it's safe to say that she'll be shipped with Lizzy.))((That'd be kinda....wrong....considering how old Lizzy is.))

Sarah directs Gaston to the hospital where they're treating Lorenzo, although he could have read the ambulance.

Gaston may or may not receive a postcard. From Sapphira!?!?
Dany wakes up again from hunger, and not the food kind either. "Dammit... it's been a week since last time already?" he realized that he should've fed before turning himself in, but hey, who would have known?;D
Nope, you're not seeing things. That's an honest to goodness engagement ring. The tails flow like the real deal, yet their sheen and color can't be mistaken for anything but pure gold.Gaston looks around before writing back.
She also has a picture of her own version attached, which bears a rapier and a rose instead.

((Oh btw
You all have the right to run minor plots relating to Club 404 assuming you run them pastMarieme first~))
Also Elf you're going to edit the tropes to reflect Gaston's new status aren't you
Luke looks around the town for Gaston.
/me hugs JollyGent
Please Elfu-san! :3Made one.
Before the time of the trial, Luke goes into the Club 404, grabbing a drink of coke."Oh, hey there, Luke! How're you doing, today?"
"Good day, Elizabeth."
Well at least this trial is more peaceful than the one Eldon experienced :P((It sure is... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVHulN6Njdk)))
Eldon shrugs.
"I can't say. The justice system here is different than my world's."
"Do you think that guy..'Dany' was it? Do you think he is innocent?" Luke smiles.
"Man, these thing go way faster in MagiNet" usually because said "criminals" tend to get terminated and recycled to prevent them turning into Whitehat Witches.
Korloth fidgets.Twi waits for JollyGent to make some sort of response to the situation? I dunno what to do with that trial.
Elf's characters exist.
((Um, where are they exactly? The only thing I've done pertaining to this in the past few days was update the list and write descriptions for Folr's attacks.))Elf's characters exist.
"Yeah, I'm fine. You?""Feeling great. I just performed a couple of songs over in a new club that sprang up today. Apparently a lot of my fans got here too."
"That's neat.""So, what've you been doing all day?"
Haruka-chan yawns, then realize that she has nowhere to hibernate except for the 404 Bar. She guess this is her new home now.
"Hanging around I guess.""Hanging around someplace boring?"
Lizzie lapses into silence and inclines her head to the ground.
"...Only I can bring Rex back from the Planes of Undeath, so yes, when I die so does he."
Haruka-chan isn't exactly on the internet right now, and is in some kind of an android avatar, so alternate rules, I guess?
((Alternatively, said avatar may need to run routine repair programs on the body that require most others to shut down, simulating sleep? I dunno.))Haruka-chan isn't exactly on the internet right now, and is in some kind of an android avatar, so alternate rules, I guess?
((Android avatar needs to recharge then? Makes more sense then suddenly needing sleep.))
"Why?""I mean, sitting through all of the examining and the questioning and the defence and stuff? Yeah."
((Well, I mean, one of the point of sleeping is to repair stuff and sort out our memories.))
((Well... it's probably more of an urge than a need. Maybe the people who programmed the MSGs are the same people who built Quote and Curly Brace :V))
(( I was making a joke about Ridiculously Human Robots (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RidiculouslyHumanRobots) and the fact that the MSGs are humanoid and are young girls. ))
"Dany is definitly guilty. There is no escaping that. If he tries to look all innocent and good, then unfortunately sympathy won't be going in his way. However, if Marie can show that those robbery was out of necessity and that Dany shows some sort of repentment, his sentence might be lighter. As for Ori, Marie needs to show that Ori got violent in the heat of the moment to defend her love interest. However,,," Luke muttered.Luke is continuing to observe the trial. Worried why Risa and Eldon went out together. Perhaps its a friendly dinner? Or....
"..I think this will be interesting.." Luke smiles.
Luke doesn't see that Lorenzo is watching the trial, as he told Lorenzo to not to come. Lorenzo is quitely watching, and he doesn't notice Titan.
((Sorry, I went to sleep))
In the meantime, Titan finds Lorenzo!
"Hey, mister."
"Sadly, I don't think a Starlight Breaker would be acceptable here. For now, this is for mother."
She kicks Lorenzo in the shin. >:c
"Why did you take me here, anyways? Surely you must have an ulterior motive.""I just wanted to take you out for dinner. You seemed kinda bored, so..."
Lizzie eventually retracts from the hug.
Eldon chuckles, "Well I thank you, then. It was very boring back there.""That and I kinda wanted to go out for something....eating Gaston and Cheru's cooking is all well and good...but sometimes, I just need change."
"I know that feeling. Sometimes you just get tired of things and you want to go out, right?""Kinda, yeah."
“When she did, the simulacrum of Ms. Hel at the entrance attempted to stop her from entering, first verbally and then with force.”
"I'm going to call bullshit on harboring a 'suspected' criminal being a crime."When you shelter him in the face of a warrant for his arrest, it is..
"Of course. I do not blame you. But sometimes, it is best to forgive." Luke smiles as he puts his arm around Lorenzo.
"Y..what are you doing you half blooded freak?!" Lorenzo blushes as he snaps away.
Luke whispers at Titan.
"See? He is like a sheltered teenager. A beautiful lady like you would understand- it also seems he learnt a lesson from the whole ordeal." Luke smiles as he pulls away gently from Titan.
"Does that mean I can also pay you to snark?""Do I not already offer that in my package?"
Marie's eyes gleam with a disturbingly mischievous light.
((I vaguely remember someone calling Komato a race of big furry spiders. Probably wrong, though.))((That was Andon. Komato in his world are large furry spiders.))
anyone who's running one of the characters with a job at Club 404 can run a miniplot for its staff if they run it by me first.
PN's characters are doing stuff. Eldon is with Risa.Food has arrived for Eldon and Risa.
"Well until someone finds the solution to that problem, you aren't going to be fighting any battles for the family, are you?"
"It's almost as if he's tolerant, kind, and otherwise not a douchebag. You should emulate him."((Key word being pretend. Marie and Cheru already found him out. Sarah at least knows it isn't Luke in Luke's body. :P))
Suddenly, Tasrak!
"Would you like some help with those? I'm not the world's most physical girl, but I could take some of them for you."
((Luke normally talks in green, Lorenzo in bold. Since they're switched, they're using eahc other's text. :P
Lorenzo is normally a douche, Luke isn't a douche but is pretending to be Lorenzo. ))
((Yeah, Luke wouldn't have been found out by Marie if not for the fact that swapping entire minds has consequences easily noticed by a nightmare. And Sarah knew it was Lorenzo because 'half-blooded freak' is a bit of a trademark phrase for him and she'd met him already. So when she heard him talk exactly like Lorenzo, she was confused.))((And Cheru can kinda smell him. Complicated spirit juju. I'll explain it somehow.))
"Err...somewhere near the local government offices I think. Or was the under the Aerostat? This place is confusing."Sarah frowns. "Well, where were you told they should go?"
"Well, from what I heard the other guy is more competent = n = N-not that I-I care about any of you." Haruka-chan shrugs while idly putting on music (http://youtu.be/UGc5vTDC1Co)."Oh no, not another passive-aggressive noble. God knows we have enough of those."
Luke feels overwhelmed by that comment. But he is hiding it.Cheru snorts.
"I am far stronger than that half blooded freak, also far better at controlling my power. Do you perhaps need anything? I would like to be left alone otherwise." Says Luke.
"Souls actually.""...Ouch."
Damn it, Oreo, I demand for you to try and write some fiction now. Or get Elf to do it when he's awake at least.Welp, time to conscript elf for it.
D: Why me? Twi writes fic too!Damn it, Oreo, I demand for you to try and write some fiction now. Or get Elf to do it when he's awake at least.Welp, time to conscript elf for it.
He might see Meow.He straightens up, smiles and walks up to the Cat-thing.
"I wish I knew. Where are you from?""Ah place ya'll wouldant know, pardner. Trust meh. So, mysterious city, strange cast o' playas. Heh, seem liake nothangs changed...But now will y'all listen ta meh ramble on. Tell me, wheres the nearest place ah cow boy can wet his throat?"
"Club 404 is around the corner. I work there."The man smiles and nods.
Meow nods and leads him to the club.Follows him, eyes darting from person to person on the street. The man's eyes seem to be off somehow...Not in an noticeable way, its just that they, along with his posture and general demeanor, seem to suggest something predatory and ancient. Though that would be silly, hes just a cow boy, right?
Meow shrugs and begins to blast music with his turn table.The man sits down at the bar and orders a single beer. He just lets it sit on the table besides him, not touching it while he watched the club. Yet every time Meow turns away and then looks back at him the booze seems to have gone down some, though the man clearly hasn't taken off his mask or moved to touch the drink.
"So, Eldon, anyone important back home?"
The point is, @Twi should definitely be your first choice for Gaiden fanfiction. :PFTFY
@Twi points out that one can simply click on the quote to see what Twi REALLY said. :P@Elf points out that he corrected it for Twi-chan.
"Where are you from?""Um...Beta Al Minlar 621. It's a nice planet."
"...kay""How about you?"
"From a world where titans kill everyone.""I kinda gathered that."
"I plan to beat him into senses." Lorenzo looks determined"I believe you need a beating of your own."
"You dare slap me woma-" Lorenzo stops, and sighs."Then why aren't we beating you?"
"He did something stupid. He deserves punishment."
Gaston is nowhere near, in part because Elf be busy clearing Platinum dammit.Hey taps someone on the shoulder than.
"Gahhh!" Lorenzo does not retalliate, but he feels pain. For some reason, his coscience is telling him not to retalliate.The man stares at him before laughing harder.
"Nope. A half blooded freak." Luke mutters very silently and faint. He knew he would get more beats if Miranda heard it.
"It was good until a hotblooded detective got into a fight with my equally hotblooded bartender."He nods.
Luke rages.Cheru slaps him on the back of the head, using the bar counter to stand up tall enough to. He's growling in annoyance.
"Detective, perhaps if you are called a monster by your own brother who is the only person who is alive that share your blood for for 15 years, and if that same brother chases you to kill you and kills your only friend you ever had, if your existence becomes a humiliation simply because you cannot control your magic, you start worrying. You don't like my ability? Well tough! It was the only thing I had! You have physical capabilities, and intelligence, along with self assurance, but I didn't have that! I was a weakling! So I HAD to be smart! My brother was only there to kill me. I am used to being alone, so no offense to you, detective, but I don't think neither my brother OR me are going to change that easily. And.. people who are worried? You mean the french noble who is only nice due to his 'noblesse oblige' and an idol singer whom I barely see and only likes me out of some empathy? I am sorry, but that's called 'charity' not 'love'."
The Wanderer is just standing in the corner, laughing quietly.Cheru glares at him silently for a second, before returning to work.
The Wanderer just stares at them for a moment before going back to watching the situation with growing interest.The Wanderer is just standing in the corner, laughing quietly.Cheru glares at him silently for a second, before returning to work.
"So in other words, you'd find yourself best suited to some sort of military work?"
"So in other words, you'd find yourself best suited to some sort of military work?"
"Tch. Looks like I have to take orders." Lorenzo sighs.
((Well Lorenzo is trying to be independant and Luke is drawing a protrait of Risa in the cottage.))

Keith walks into the club.The Wanderer waves at him from the corner.
Kyle raises an eyebrow at Lizzie.A faint blush appears on her face and she averts her glance.
Keith waves back before sitting at the bar and ordering a drink. He looks quite confused.The Wanderer goes to sit next to him.
Keith looks at his strange.The Wanderer gives him a long stare, its impossible to tell if hes smiling or not.
"Who are you?"
Keith blinks.He just shrugs, lifting a glass up to his mask.
"Are you like some kind of weird Illusive Man?"
Kyle blinks and move to hug Lizzie.The Wanderer just shrugs and continues to watch him, slightly-off eyes still looking right at him.
Keith looks confused.
Keith waves goodbye.The Wanderer chuckles and puts down an empty glass on the table.
...
He wonders where his drink is.
Kyle holds Lizzie close as he sleeps.The Wanderer just stares at him, looking quite amused.
Keith stares at the glass for a minute as he silently debates shooting the wanderer for that.
"Looks like you did it," Rex remarks."Not at all!"
"I'm depressing, aren't I?"
"Looks like you did it," Rex remarks."Onleh sumtahmes."
"I'm depressing, aren't I?"
"I hope you realize why she wanted that.""You're kinda adorable, even." Risa hugs him.
"Really? Thanks."
Rex nods."Thanks~"
"You must really love her."
Eldon blushes, but hugs her.
"You too."
Twi exists, I guess.The Wanderer taps Twi on the shoulder.
He wonders how we're going to do Lorenzo potentially being in the gubbmint.
Nah, but seriously, The Wanderer finds Alicia, then?The Wanderer is an immortal, he can be as gol darned Meta as he wants :I
Sarah is probably at home, spending some quality time with Titan. Ori is being at work, Marie is buried in paperwork still...
Dang it, stahp. Marie may be buried in paperwork, but protecting the fourth wall is still her part-time job. :PHeh
She's turned before The Wanderer can tap her. Which is good, because the other option has her blade at his throat.The Wanderer just kinda stares at her, hand now at his side.
"...Huh. What'cha want?"
"Interesting.."The Wanderer shrugs.
"Hey, half the time when someone tries to sneak up on me they want to stab me. Not my fault."
"So, what now?""Anything in mind?"
She raises an eyebrow.He nods and watches the city. "Y'all see tha local paper? Looks like sumone's been buyin up apartments downtown. Wonder what that culd be about?" He does the weird stare thing before walking away, humming a little as he did.
"I am not a plural. Ahem, just came back from a job, chilling for a while before something else pops up."
Lizzie nods and lays down. Rex flies and rests down next to Kyle."Really...I can see why?"
"We never had such a thing back home."
Lizzie nods."I know."
"This place is so cool, though."
Damn Eldon Luke will kill you
JG observes.

Does JG want an excuse to bug the Octavias? And how about Lorenzo?
A small smile appears on his face as he watches the movie.Risa eventually pulls her hand out to get herself popcorn. She never noticed. Sneaky Eldon.
Twi points out that this is not Ukraine. :VMcclay will smack yer fukken gob on, I swear on me mum m8.
"...yes?"
"Sure let's go!"

Marie pushes Lorenzo, Titan and Sarah over to Luke with plot. :P
Crafty bastard as human, giant crafty bastard as titan.FTFY
Eldon eats some popcorn.
Eldon leans against her as well and munches on some more popcorn, find it quite tasty.Woo leaning. Completely friendly.

((...Alright))Meme might bump into the booted feet of The Wanderer.
A Meme wearing armor is walking around with a backpack!
Twi points out that Luke was already calling her professor. :P
Sarah laughs and pats Tasrak.
"Well, you've been dead for a while, right? You should learn to make the most of it~"
Titan proceeds to pounce on Lorenzo and declare all the reasons that his lie is obvious to her while JG sleeps.
Aaah.Twi points out that Luke was already calling her professor. :P

Tasrak has totally been here the whole time, deep in thought and playing with his puzzle cube.Risa is around.
Elizabeth continues to exist.Speaking of which, Gaston may end up speaking to her at some point.
Fuuka may stumble into the club. She looks disheveled, bloodied, and very exhausted.
And so he does! She waves a bit to him, going over towards him after a while of playing wubwubs as her job entails.Elizabeth continues to exist.Speaking of which, Gaston may end up speaking to her at some point.
That would be true if this was a normal Persona TV. It is instead a special Marie model of 'linking directly to Richard' created through several eldritch rituals.Well.
Which is to say I wanted an excuse to throw a book at him. :P
IT DOESN'T LINK THERE. IT IS AIMED SO THE BOOK FLIES OVER HIS HEAD. :PWell then he assumes it's one of his asshole next door 'friends' and lets it go. :3
"Because you're the expert~""Go find some book or something! You're in the Lost and Found, aren't you?"
Marie fishslaps Richard again before returning and commencing RESEARCH.Richard counters with a halibut and returns to slacking off!
Meanwhile, Fuuka is being watched and heal-ified.
Oh, the TSAB's magic circuits work fine, do they? Interesting...Mundane electricity fails during the Dark Hour. The city runs off magically supplied electricity.
very interesting.
"So... How have you been, Gaston? I mean, I'm doing pretty good, not to mention the fact that I now have this job.""Fairly well. Doing odd jobs around town is fairly easy when one has the skill to do many things."
After prodding from Twi, PAJaK-U lands near Elizabeth. Like... right next to her.
"Eh!?! Uh... wha... Who are you?"
"Well, uh... My name's Elizabeth Calipso. It's nice to meet you."After prodding from Twi, PAJaK-U lands near Elizabeth. Like... right next to her.

PAJaK-U waves at Elizabeth with all four of her hands, "Hello! It is nice to mit you, I BAJaK-U, who are you?"
"Well, uh... My name's Elizabeth Calipso. It's nice to meet you."
"We just had a casualty to the Dark Hour show up. Oh, the Dark Hour's a thing now. Basically, extra hour after midnight, breaks your cheap unshielded consumer electronics, summons psychological monsters from nowhere. More a nuisance than anything else if you're prepared."
Luke scratches his head, with his expression confused.Cheru growls, but he seems less angry.
"Um...I'm sorry."
"....and I apologise to you too..Cheru." Luke bows his head.
"That was a vague statement wasn't it? I was referring to the...lightning people use to power things around here."
"Good question! Long story short: you're somewhere with a bunch of other people who somehow have also ended up in a weird dimension filled with people from all sorts of other places."
Luke bites his candy, and a loud crack can be heard."Yeah. He makes a nice friend. Just like you."
"I hope you had fun!" Luke smiles, but it has a shade of darkness in it.
"Hmm... I'll see what I can do, about that. Maybe you can see about getting a job here, from Marie. As for somewhere to stay... how about we try to find somewhere, together?"
She shrugs.
"Well, one, she's my boss. And two, she's this pretty awesome lady who's like... a literal nightmare, and stuff. She's a bit weird though."
And off she goes, leading her newfound mechanized friend towards the Club.
"Yep! It sure is busy..."
Sarah and Titan examine PAJaK-U. Politely, of course.
"Professor Sarah Octavia."Lizzy joins in on the sciency stuff discussion, most likely.
"Titan!"
They talk sciency stuff.
Lizzy joins in on the sciency stuff discussion, most likely.
The Octavias are now talking robot stuff to the robot, for they are curious~
"Marie should give you a Luke Mckenzie bonus or something.""No, a Mackenzie bonus in general. Both of them are pains in the ass."
"So, plan to regain Gnomish superiority...""If you could shoot them, I'd've knifed them by now."
"Should I shoot them for you?"
Meow, the technomancer robot builder cat alien person may find PAJaK-U.
Sarah and Titan let out a collective "Awwwwwwwwwwwww..."
Meow gazes at JaK.
"That is a really nice design you have..."
Meme's ears twitch back and forth slightly at the pat.

If anyone's interested, although Risa isn't booked for right now, Club 404 IS open. It can be easily spotted by the fact that its corner is warped and it shares the 3d space with a storefront on the other side of the corner that is also four-dimensional, albeit unrelated to Marie. Basically, something kinda like that gallery room in Antichamber, where the different sides show different interiors. Also, the entrance is decorated with a rather lively display of Marie who waves at passersby and occasionally engages them in conversation. In third person, for some reason. It also says CLUB 404 in large neon lights. :P
Tl;dr: Meme wanders up to Club 404. Oh dear.
The whole place seems to be built of darkness scattered with stars, shimmering softly on its own with barely enough solidity to distinguish wall from not-wall. On one side, there's what looks like a cross between a bar and fast-food counter, crewed by a few maid-robots and (whatever bartender is on duty now). There are plenty of tables scattered around, and of course there's a nice huge dance floor straight ahead, with a stage for any special guests. On the other side of the dance floor, basically all the way across the room from the bar, is a lovely DJ station worthy of Marie.
Meme looks around in utter confusion. What were all the pretty lights and sparkly floor for?
Titan and Sarah follow PAJaK-U.
"She's cute~ Almost as cut as Paigey here~"
Meow follows PAJaK too.
"That's your design? It's amazing..."
"AHHHH!" Meme screams cause spider-bot! She then closes her eyes and starts running in a direction, her body taking on a steel-esque look.
Titan does her best to hold them. Sarah is still nursing her wounds. "Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...."
"MEAN KITTY! HOW DARE YOU KNOCK MY MOTHER OVER?!?!"
Sarah nods. "I'm... Fine. Nothing too bad. H-hurts like heck, though. Er, sorry if this is sudden, but... where a-are you from? I've heard a lot of accents, but...not that one."
Korloth just shakes his head.
"What did I do to deserve this planet?"
Sarah frowns. "No, I don't know at all. I guess I'll take your word for it that you've been around..."
"W-w-w-w-wobot..." Meme curls up into a ball, going iron again.
The dryad glances at PAJaK-U and smiles.
"She did not wish to frighten you, ma'am. Please forgive her."
The dryad glances over at PAJaK-U. "I assume you're willing to apologize, Ma'am. For startling her."
"I'm glad you understand, Ma'am. Is it too early to ask you to apologize to her?"Meme looks afraid again.
Elizabeth sighs, and kneels down a bit to give Meme a comforting hug."I... I okay..." Meme hugs her, her fur soft and warm.
"Shh... PAJaK isn't gonna hurt you. She's a friendly robot. Are you okay? I mean, I wouldn't expect an adorable little thing like you to be all alone here..."
The Wanderer gets bored with waiting for Dany and pokes his head in through the club's door, staring at the people inside of it.
The Wanderer tips his hat back at her.The Wanderer gets bored with waiting for Dany and pokes his head in through the club's door, staring at the people inside of it.
PAJaK-U stares back and waves with two of her six hands.
The Wanderer tips his hat back at her.
The Wanderer gives her a quick stare, more than likely a smile under the mask, and steps into the club. He takes a seat at a random table and watches the group do their thing.The Wanderer tips his hat back at her.
The mecha musume spiderchick giggles, covering her mouth with one hand as a healthy blush rises on her cheeks.
The Wanderer gives her a quick stare, more than likely a smile under the mask, and steps into the club. He takes a seat at a random table and watches the group do their thing.
"Eep!" Dany got a bit startled when he was tapped on the shoulder.The group in the club will find that the Wanderer is suddenly gone.
"Uh, I mean, yes?" he turned around.
"I'm listening, what kind of jawb? I mean job."The Wanderer hands him an adress and sealed letter.
Dany considered the offer. While he likes breaking into place, an intrusion charge would probably increase his community service time, if not worse."Moneh, fame, tha respect of a very powerful patron, ah chance ta take a shot at tyrant. All very good thangs, if y'all ask meh."
"What do I get from this?"
Ori ambushes The Wanderer. "Why are you promising such things to an agent of the government? This bureaucracy is much too large to have a tyrant, anyways."(Oh god I don't even know whats canon anymore.)
((Breakdown:((So my newspaper that was foreshadowing my plot is completely useless :/ ?))
Outland City (provisional title) is governed by something that may or may not be the Time-Space Administration Bureau (dimensional administration bureau probably a better translation) from Lyrical Nanoha.
They are a vast bureaucracy and LOVE giving out community service sentences to pretty much everyone on the right side of the Moral Event Horizon.
They are also very bureaucratic. :P ))
((Hey, I TOLD you when it happened. And the part that told the plot (people killing monsterspecies) is still perfectly valid in my eyes.))((...Fuck it, Orașul Pierdut is a neighboring city. Can't stop won't stop.))
Ori ambushes The Wanderer. "Why are you promising such things to an agent of the government? This bureaucracy is much too large to have a tyrant, anyways."The Wanderer stares at her, unlike most other times this one seems to lack amusement behind it. His eyes look even more off and his posture seems to make him look twisted and non human, a ancient monster towering over her and Dany.
"....The Wanderer lets out a raspy sigh.
I need a translator, hun."
Ori smiles and traces her finger on Wanderer's chest."Oh, y'all know, gettin a few contacts back together, findin sum old frends, gatherin mah ferces. Though if Ah were you Ah'd stay out of Orașul Pierdut. Tha Доминион party ain't 'xcatly friendly to TSAB agents as of late."
"A worthy goal, and how do you intend to do that?"
"I know that they're jerks, darling. Think it's been getting worse? They never did like those do-gooders in particular."The Wanderer just chuckles raspily.
"My job isn't to play spot the difference with pictures, darling. Save it for the pencil pushers."The Wanderer shrugs.
"So let me get this straight, darling. You wanted him to go to a city hostile to his organization and break in to an apartment building...for what reason again?""Ta deliever a letter ta ah very important person. An owld frend of mahe in fact."
"What's stopping you from doing it yourself? I like a man who can take care of his own problems, y'know, so I hope you have a good reason.""Less juss say that the frend up in that buildin broke with meh on...less than charitable terms. Ah hope that tha letter well convince him ta put aside our differences. However if ah get...removed bah him before Ah can speak reason ta him then all weuld be fer naught. An ole Iron Head's a lot more hostile ta meh than he ever well be ta y'all."
"... I see. Sorry, Darling, but I don't have the authority to make that decision on my own. Nor does he. We''ll have to get back to you on that.""Ah was offerin mister Dany an offer on tha side, stilll don't know why y'all butted in..."
Dany shrugged at the banter "I don't follow politics much, but I mean, I definitely need the money."The Wanderer just nods at him. "Sounds good ta meh. Heres a pass inta the Schawn district. If y'all get them Ah would suggest dressing in shabby clothin until yer infiltatin tha building, tha average citizen in Priedut isant in tha best shape right naow. Juss keep yer head down an avoids tha riots if ya can. Yell beh fahne."
Like said, gods know what Dany does with all the things he steal.
"... In return, I'd like everything you can tell us about the political situation in Priedut, darling. Not to mention a few things you haven't told us that might help us in accomplishing this task of yours.""Nawt much taht y'all wouldant already know. Party's pushing for reelection for ole Iron Head, a good frend of mahne that went a little...off after Tha Fall. Populace in sum of tha districts have 'ad enough and are riotin in tha streets. Diana's walzting about on her Crusade against non-humans in the chaos while Codguts is just expandin his home. An all tha folks Ah juss mentioned? Don't go after thame. Not only were weh fredns once but they are a thousand times craftier and older than y'all....And juss watch out fer anyone screamin 'bout anyting involvin 13...Thass all Ah'm willin ta tell y'all, damn TSAB telepathy."
Though she doesn't mention it, yeah they gave it the go-ahead, with the above stipulations.
"IT's not that hard to learn when you have magi-computers handling most of the thinking, darling. You should look into it."Ah Wanderer lakhe meh doesnant have tha resources ta set up a permant operation lakhe that. An yup, keep yer damn heads down. Piredut is in a volatile place, an if everythang goes tits up so well TSAB-AM. This...Operatian is a step on makin sure that doesant happen."
Anyways, basically stay the hell out of trouble? Sounds like what our superiors would tell us anyways, hehe."
"Sounds just like good 'ol Berlin..." Dany commented."'Xpect with Authoritarian Party troops en Walkers. Stay tha frack away frum those, machine guns made ta mess wit Supernaturals and other such folk."
"Suuure you don't. Right, gotcha. Don't cause trouble. Disguise self as human, stay away from factions. Deliver this to... where exactly is this letter going?"The Wanderer hands her a map of Pierdut. A good 1/5 of the city has been circle.
"...Don't tell me this friend of your you're delivering to is Codguts.""Eeeyup. Hes an old, old frend."
"So let me get this straight. You want us to deliver this personally, to his residence, even though his men own the place? Why not just throw it at them or something?""Because Ah have no idea who hes men are realeh workin fer?"
"Ah.""Eeeeyup."
Dany accepts the letter, and remarked as if he just only realized. "Wait, why do I have to disguise myself as human, though? Don't they have other kind of people there too?""Eh, if y'all want. The Party isant 'xcatly friendly ta nonhumans and Diana's runnin 'round there causin havoc. Safer ta pass as human."
Meme tries to find the Dryad person.Still hanging around at Club 404, I guess.
"Oh, great, this place is reminding me more and more of Berlin." Dany shrugged."Nothin risked nothin earned..."
"Oh well, sure, why not. I never got caught before."((I am the derp man))
((*poofs for vidya games*))
Elf's characters exist.Do any of them want to go on Metal Gear Solid: Guns of The Wanderer?
Possibly.Well then have one of them step forth/tell me so The Wanderer can approach them. :I
Twi nabs this for safekeeping. And possibly character-listing at some point.Spoiler: NPC Patrons of Club 404 (click to show/hide)
Gaston gets another postcard.
He'd read it but he's too busy acting as a chef in a fine resturant.Gaston gets another postcard.
Marie pokes Fuuka!Fuuka blinks, groaning.
That someone may see a fluffy head peeking out from under a blazer, inside a backpack, as she slowly stirred. THe club was too noisy to sleep in right now it seemed, as Meme couldn't sleep long.
They look curiously at her, before shrugging. She was used to the weirdness.That someone may see a fluffy head peeking out from under a blazer, inside a backpack, as she slowly stirred. THe club was too noisy to sleep in right now it seemed, as Meme couldn't sleep long.
Meme tilts her head at the new person curiously.The trainer tilts her head.
"Meme?" Meme offers, pointing at herself as she looked at the strange person.
Dany just decides to go with his priestly robes since it can hide his horns and tail, he then head to Orașul Pierdut via some kind of means.Dany will get to the main train station to OP: A grey, weathered building with the symbol of the party hanging from it. A tired and bored looking man rests on the counter.
Andon might walk into the Wanderer.The Wandere smiles at Andon.
Meme slowly reaches out with a pawed hand and pokes the trainer's leg.She looks down.

"Papers please"
Also how about that Gaston? o3oGaston FINALLY reads it.
Andon.....tilts his head at the Wanderer."Go ta Pierdut, sneak inta tha biggest apartment complex in tha citay. Help Dany delivar tha letter to Codguts, dowant git killed."
The Geist inside him tells him this is possibly a bad idea.
The man nods and stamps them.Dany just decides to go with his priestly robes since it can hide his horns and tail, he then head to Orașul Pierdut via some kind of means.Dany will get to the main train station to OP: A grey, weathered building with the symbol of the party hanging from it.

"Papers please"
Ori is also there, disguised as a human who doesn't look much like her and wearing the plainclothes. Her voice is also different, though Twi uses the same text for convenience.
She presents the papers, since Objective isn't on.
"We come to visit family. It will be for a few days."
"Show me what you can do. I am interested in other people." Luke chuckled, taking out his candy stick, offering her one.She shrugs. "I can't do much."
"Everyone can do something. Perhaps you're a death knight with a sentient sword, perhaps you're a beautiful idol singer who knows martial arts and is way out of my league, perhaps you're a personification of nightmare itself, perhaps you're a monster who's logic is its greatest strength and curse. Or perhaps you are a..summoner of some sort." Luke chuckles, nibbling on his candy.
"Little or big, everyone can do something. I am quite sure you can too. It doesn't need to be big, just show me some of your friends!" Luke chuckles
"perhaps you're a monster who's logic is its greatest strength and curse."
The doors of the train open to engulf the two, sending them hurtling down a tunnel through the inner city. After about a half an hour of going through the tunnel the train emerges onto a raise platform above Orașul Pierdut, city of Iron. The city sprawls out before them; a morass of squat, grey buildings and tall, iron sky scrapers. Orașul Pierdut is laid out in a square, a tall rubiks cube of walled and fenced off districts. From some of these districts the two can see the drab concrete light by dancing orange light, that must be where the riots are. Through cracks between the districts Dany and Ori can see their goal, a great structure of glass and iron near the city center. The view disappears as the train suddenly shoots underground and passes through another tunnel. After a second half an hour journey the train finally pulls up to the station. It is almost a mirror of the one in TSAB-AM, expect for a few key things. The station is packed with fleeing families, mothers and children, fathers carrying luggage, young lovers escaping together. On the walls stand a ring of armed soldiers, the emblem of the party (a Hellenic helmet crossed by two bars of iron) emblazoned on their chests, high powered assault rifles pointed at the crowd. A soldier in the middle of the morass beckons the few arrivals towards the desk.Glory to Arstotzka!
Off they go, wooooo.
Ori seems kinda bored with the paperwork, but is internally laughing at its simplicity as she hands it in.The bored looking clerk rubber stamps the paper without even looking at it.
Woo, entering of questionable van!The van is slightly questionable, with its blacked out windows and stern looking soldiers. The ride takes a few hours, leaving time for Ori to talk to Dany and for anyone whose interested to retroactively show up.
Wait, several hours? That's a bit more than slightly questionable. :P Oh wellHey now, its a big ass city that has riots. The roadways a packed with people trying not to be where the riots are/get to the riots to contain them.
(Since you mentioned it, can a certain assassin retroactively join this plot?)Yup.
(Cool.)The soldier in the van nods.
"This place reminds me of home. Kind of."
(( I read "Orașul Pierdut" in my own flat Thai accent and I cracked up a bit ))The solider continues to stare on straight ahead as the van takes a hard turn. "The Party refutes any claims of demonic influence. Such claims go against The Parties pro-Human core doctrine. Those accusations will be punished immediately."
Dany looked around Orașul Pierdut. "Huh, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a giant infernal portal in the middle of the city. This place is like the combination of everything.
Meme snuggles Yukiko's leg and giggles.She resists even harder!
"I bouncy!" Meme jumps up and then goes slightly blue tinged as she bounces super high into the air! She begins to fall right towards Yukiko!Yukiko panics! Her eyes dart around, before she catches Meme.
The solider continues to stare on straight ahead as the van takes a hard turn. "The Party refutes any claims of demonic influence. Such claims go against The Parties pro-Human core doctrine. Those accusations will be punished immediately."
The soldier nods as he stares ahead. "Indeed, Party Peace-Keepers are taught to respect all human cultures. The word of the Tyrant is la-" He is cut off as the sound of gunfire and screams suddenly seems to spill out from the right side of the car. Some hits the window right next to Dany's head and quickly lights on fire, a Molotov-cocktail. The solider immediately stands up and draws his weapon, joining his fellows in jumping out the doors of the car. From the cracks between the door from and the man the group inside can see an angry crowd of people, hurling insults and bricks at the Party soldiers; looks the the riots spilled over into this district. The Peace-Keepers yell something in a foreign language before firing into the crowd, judging by the screams and the mass of people moving away it looks like they hit someone. The solider from before turns around to look at them, in the light its easy to tell hes not much older than Dany and looks quite frightened. "Stay in the Goddamn car! Failure to comply will result in immediate detention." He turns around and fires another burst into the crowd, the shots followed by screams and more improvised explosives. If there ever was a time to get out of dodge it would be now.The solider continues to stare on straight ahead as the van takes a hard turn. "The Party refutes any claims of demonic influence. Such claims go against The Parties pro-Human core doctrine. Those accusations will be punished immediately."
"Crap. I uh. I mean. I think we're just having a miscommunication here. Over where I'm from "infernal" means "awesome" and "portal" means mall. I was betting that this place has an, uh, awesome mall. Since it's a big city. S-see?" Dany smiled nervously.
Yukiko sighs and cradles Meme.Meme giggles a little but snuggles against her.
Ori may or may not scooch her way into the driver's compartment! because >:3
RIOT!
Snuggles as Yukiko sails right over the Cuteness Proximity threshold!Yukiko sighs and cradles Meme.Meme giggles a little but snuggles against her.
((You don't know Meme yet. :P ))((In my defense, Meme probably doesn't smell like a child anymore. And definitely ISN'T a normal three year old.))
((Maybe. She still has the body and mindset of a child though, and thats permanent.))((3:))
Ori can do bullshit-succubus things, right?Quote from: McclayOri may or may not scooch her way into the driver's compartment! because >:3
RIOT!
((Maybe. She still has the body and mindset of a child though, and thats permanent.))((That's a terrible fate.))
"Naw, whiskey."Cheru looks him up and down.
PN's characters are doing stuff. Meow is blasting wubs.Yukiko and Fuuka exist. Risa walks in.
Still stunned.Meme is hanging onto Yukiko's leg.
"Uh...."
"Man, you clueless doll! He is stupid! He's feeling guilty for no reason. He said he snapped at you and got yo feelings hurt." Zeus chuckles. Sipping electrifying fanta."Oh, that? He didn't hurt me. I was just confused why he was angry at me."
Isn't Risa right there?Risa seems to be selectively oblivious! Well, shit.
"also sup, Gaston."
Yukiko manages to wrench Meme off and lay her down on a chair, using her vest as a blanket.This is rather easy as she wasn't on her leg anymore.
"Don't mind me, just telling your boyfriend the reasons he sucks.""He doesn't suck! He just.....needs to grow up a bit." She hugs Fem!Luke.
"Okay, I'll turn you back IF you go out on a date with her.~""I'll take him around!" She smiles brightly.
"~""Sure!"
Marie changes Luke back, then places him in Risa's arms for shipping and profit.
Luke is watching the movie, then he turns around to see Risa's face. Her iris. In sight of an object that amuses you, your iris expands quite a bit. She..for a happy go lucky type person like her..she doesn't seem to show signs of being amused or seeing something new..her iris staying the same....is this movie not interesting? Or...She just giggles and hugs Luke to her.
Has she seen it before?
Luke smiled. It didn't matter.
He keeps looking at her, until he thinks out loud.
"You're as beautiful as you are at heart."
Luke doesn't flinch...but embraces her.Snuggles!
"It's comfy. It's nice to be liked by a human being." He says. Risa smelled nice, but her outer appearance did not matter. She cared for him as much as she cared for anyone else. She had compassion. That aspect made Luke almost cry.
"I wish I can get hugs like these everyday." Luke mumbles.
"Umm.. I have a friend.." Luke says awkwardly."I say he should go get her. Logic shouldn't matter when you're talking about looooooove~"
"He's just someone that I know, but he likes a girl and she is hundred times better than he is, and he logically thinks that someone like her deserves someone better so he tries to move away from her.."
"D..do you think he's stupid?" Luke asks reluctantly.
"I feel an attraction towards that animal. Electric?" Zeus' fingers give off faint spark. He is smiling to Yukiko.
"W..what if he makes her...um..unhappy? I don't think that guy can make a girl happy"
Kimba tilts his head at Zeus. Yukiko nods."I feel an attraction towards that animal. Electric?" Zeus' fingers give off faint spark. He is smiling to Yukiko.
"W..what if he makes her...um..unhappy? I don't think that guy can make a girl happy"
Twi needs some time to make generic npcs and/or an aptitude test. One moment. :V
Rex eventually takes him to a large black tower with a spiked roof. The area around it is dead and barren, surrounded by dead and crooked trees. A large number of zombies and skeletons stalk the land as well.There are five zombies and five skeletons outside.
"Yeah, undead activity here is rather high. A ward is protecting the tower, so don't try and break through or go to the top. I've tried."
Keith might bump into one of Elf's characters.Keith runs into Andon.
Kyle sighs and starts blasting the runners with his pistol.
Keith looks at Andon."....who are you?"
"Hello?"
"Well aren't you a big beauty.""Andon."
Kyle says with a whistle.
"I'm Keith."
Keith nods looking at the... person in front of him. They are a person, right?A person who looks in severe need of sleep, gaunt and unshaven, but yes, a person.
Meow stops.Cheru nods, before grabbing a broom and sweeping the spider bot's remains.
Kyle runs up the stairs of the tower. Suddenly, he sees Lizzie across from him, crying as she kneels down on the floor.
Marie waves at Eldon.
Reina watches, bemused. "You should get into Device tech. You certainly seem to enjoy working on these, ma'am. And we could always use better tools out there.""What can I say, I can already do this stuff with my mind, and machines, so of course I like messing around with them! That, and there's the DJ thing... That's also pretty fun."
"It's easy, if you understand how they work."Reina shrugs. "Not really. I'm not anything special as far as magic goes. I don't even come from a world with magic or particularly advanced technology. Though I DID manage to defy the 'up or out' rule by becoming one of the first operational testers for the M-37 'Yumi' man-portable railgun, which is how I was Specialist for so long before ending up here. I gotta say, the whole magic thing certainly has its conveniences. The downside, of course, is that the TSAB does mountains of paperwork."
She works a bit harder, hearing the compliment.
"So, is there anything special you can do, Reina? I mean, I do this whole... uh... machine possession... thingy..."
"...Are you kidding me?!?"The two kick open the door and dive out of the car as another arrow embeds itself where Ori's left eye was. A light beeping is heard from the arrow, that can't be good. In front of Ori is an alleyway, looks safe enough.
[RUNNING INTENSIFIES], to use the common phrase around these parts.
"Dynamite arrows are not at all practical!"The van explodes in a pillar of flame as Ori books her ass down the alleyway, accompanied by the screams of pain from the rioters caught in the blast. After about an hour of running the two come to a small, corner side restaurant. If ever there was a place to get good but cheap Eastern European food and calm the fuck down it would be here.
Alleyway ho!
More running ho!
Ori is trying not to get into trouble here, damn it! >_<
Kerbump? Hey, I may as well while I have the post. :V"It's easy, if you understand how they work."Reina shrugs. "Not really. I'm not anything special as far as magic goes. I don't even come from a world with magic or particularly advanced technology.

She works a bit harder, hearing the compliment.
"So, is there anything special you can do, Reina? I mean, I do this whole... uh... machine possession... thingy..."
Blink, blink.
"But... Yeah, I'm just an ordinary squad sniper."
PAJaK-U is... probably still in Club 404, just hanging out on the ceiling and relaxing.Kimba the Luxray examines PAJaK-U.
Kimba the Luxray examines PAJaK-U.
He looks confused. Yukiko looks up at her too.
Kimba shies away from her hands. Yukiko smiles.He looks confused. Yukiko looks up at her too.
PAJaK-U drops down from the ceiling, twisting her body so that she lands on her feet in from of Yukiko. She waves cheerfully to the girl, with some of her hands reaching down to pet Kimba. "Hallo! I BAJaK-U! Und who ure you?"
Kimba shies away from her hands. Yukiko smiles.
"I'm Yukiko. Nice to meet you?"
"I'm a native, if that's what you mean."
Yukiko rubs the back of her head. "I'm actually from a different town, so I don't know my way around either...""I'm a native, if that's what you mean."
PAJaK-U claps all six of her hands in succession, "Tak! Wonderful! You wouldn't mind showing me uround den, would you?"
Yukiko rubs the back of her head. "I'm actually from a different town, so I don't know my way around either..."
"Uhh...."Yukiko rubs the back of her head. "I'm actually from a different town, so I don't know my way around either..."
PAJAK-U waves her hands dismissively, "Dut is not broblem. You already know more than me. So where to begin?"
Zeus looks at PAJak-U in amazement.
"Wowww...you a machine or summin'?" Zeus seems to be amazed.
"Uhh...."
"I don't actually know where to start...."
"If it's alright with you beautiful ladies, Ima show you both around. How 'bout it?" Zeus plays a tune on his guitar, fingers giving off a faint spark.
Yukiko looks confused.
"Okay, did I miss something?"
"Hanging around with you beauts will be a privileage too." Zeus winks
"Ain't you a cutie. You sure are one classy robot." Zeus compliments, smiling at PAJak-U
"Well then you are one fiiiiiiine designer. Y'know what I mean?" Zeus smiles.
"Luke tol' me about that too. 'No wonder your name is Zeus' he said, whatever that meant. He's the one who came up with the band name 'Olympians'. Apparently ma name resembles a greek mythological character y'know?" Zeus told Tasrak
Zeus chuckles.
"Hanging around with you beauts will be a privileage too." Zeus winks
"Well then you are one fiiiiiiine designer. Y'know what I mean?" Zeus smiles.Snuggles.
Snuggling ensues! Luke continue to be like a child in mother's arms!
PN wants to make a new character but doesn't know what to make.((
Objective's characters exist.Dany might want to react to recent events.
"Damn, never believed in love at first sight but here we go."
Which robot girl?
PN wants to make a new character but doesn't know what to make.Speaking of new characters, one appears.
"Sorry beautiful gal, but love is like music,no? You feel with your soul not with ya body!""Oh, I can handle that."
Zeus says as he plays a short tune.
"I may come across as a womanizer but Ima be a man full of spirit and chivarly" Zeus chuckles
"Risa. Your fans will definitely try to murder me haha!" Luke chuckles.
"I was wanting to see about asking if I could maybe make some form of a deal so that my friend Lizzie's soul isn't eaten by hell. I find it kind of important and considering I was attacked by a hunter and nearly stabbed in the eye with a lollypop on the way here I think I at least deserve an answer on if that's possible.""Thy place is riddled with magic energy, causing the undead to move on their own accord. The answer thou seeks is one that I have, but what shall thou offer in return?"
Luke feels a pierce in his heart. He grabs his chest in agony.Huggles!
"T..that'll do yeah.." Luke says, chuckling.
"Sorry beautiful gal, but love is like music,no? You feel with your soul not with ya body!"
Zeus says as he plays a short tune.
"I may come across as a womanizer but Ima be a man full of spirit and chivarly" Zeus chuckles
"Offer, and I shall evaluate."((Hmm... so, is that a yes to American Express?))
((He take Poke? Or Pixels?))"Offer, and I shall evaluate."((Hmm... so, is that a yes to American Express?))
((Crack Cocaine? Methamphetamine?))((He take Poke? Or Pixels?))"Offer, and I shall evaluate."((Hmm... so, is that a yes to American Express?))
((IOU notes? Oroblancos?))((Crack Cocaine? Methamphetamine?))((He take Poke? Or Pixels?))"Offer, and I shall evaluate."((Hmm... so, is that a yes to American Express?))
"I never actually got to know you Risa... tell me a little bit about yourself." Luke said as he tucked his arms into Risa's. The movie ended, and he wanted to go to a restaurant to talk to her.
"Clear English?""You mean Common?"
Damn it, Marie.
Orinoms Dany suggestivelyjust sits next to him and plans.
"I'd flirt, but this is a mission. Sorry."
Dany nibbles a sausage suggestively.The morbidly obese person behind the counter wiggles their greasy, bushy eyebrows at Dany. Its impossible to tell what gender they are.
"Smart n' beautiful. What do you lack?" Zeus says. He wasn't smart, but he knew how to talk to people.
"Clear English?"
Damn it, Marie.
"Ahh, well ability to speak doesn't define a woman. I ain't the best English speaker either" Zeus chuckles.She guides him awaaaay~ To a fast food place."I never actually got to know you Risa... tell me a little bit about yourself." Luke said as he tucked his arms into Risa's. The movie ended, and he wanted to go to a restaurant to talk to her.
"..Where do you come from exactly?"
"Close enough. RP-language. Though not Japanese, since Reina's Device talks in Japanese. Insofar as it talks at all.
I suppose your accent has improved a bit."
Zeus puts an arm around PAJak-U
"Beauts like you don't need to worry about that. You are fine just how you is." Zeus chuckles. He lets off a faint spark through out PAJak's body, not enough to hurt her, but just enough to send faint, friendly vibrations that relaxes her.
Kyle pulls out five seeming random objects."Ah yes, phylacteries of lichs... such things are common in the world in which Lizzie Whitmire and Roran Whitmire originate from, and the world in which I make the most transactions in.

"Does the age and power of the soul mean anything? Cause these guys are probably more ecspensive since they haven't had much resistance in a while."
The voice may notice that he pulled out five phylacteries. The lichs they belong to probably would get a little pissed if they knew they were missing.
Disoriented and a bit roughed up by the fall, Coyote stumbles to his feet.Neoferrum LAC-15, metal slimehumanoid extraordinaire, is leaning on the wall by the entrance.
"Wh-where the hell am I...? Ughh... Let's see..."
Looking around cautiously, he slowly realizes that he does not recognize the area around him at all.
"Well.... Damnit."
With a sigh, he just decides to go into the nightclub nearby. Nightclubs were usually a good place to head to, in the few times he'd gotten somewhat lost, back home.
((Quick! Check if Caranheim offers any sort of membership rewards system, like frequent flyer points or something.))Kyle pulls out five seeming random objects."Ah yes, phylacteries of lichs... such things are common in the world in which Lizzie Whitmire and Roran Whitmire originate from, and the world in which I make the most transactions in. Such things will do excellent in the Soul Cairn. I believe we have a transaction, then?"

Words begin to inscribe into the stone in front of Kyle;
By signing this contact, Kyle Johnson agrees to exchange five souls in the condition that the contractor Caranheim, seventh ambassador of the Lord of Undeath, remove Lizzie Whitmire from the Circle of Damnation, and return all the power siphoned from her soul. This contract must be signed by Kyle Johnson's own blood and tears in order to be sealed.

(Someone give an idea for a new character...)(Worgen.)
Tasrak tinkers with something.
"Sorry, sorry. It's still quite hard to stop the current in ma body. It just doesn't feel natural when I do it. So ma currents always flowing, and the voltage always high. I try to keep the sparks low so I dun damage things, but sometimes I let off without thinking." Zeus shows his hand, faint sparks coming off, making faint static sounds.

The writing and stone inscriptions then fade away.
"The contract is sealed," the voice speaks as a small white crystal appears and gently hovers into Kyle's hands, "Have Lizzie Whitmire close this into her palms, and the contract of her soul binding shall be amended to replace her Circle of Damnation with your sacrifice."
"This is why Luke told me not to touch robots... sorry sorry. My apologies." Zeus smiles as he holds his guitar.

"That must have been a hard decision for you. Were you perhaps feeling alone when you left them?"She shakes her head.
"Huh, what?" Dany turned in the direction of Ori's gaze to see the person behind him.They grumble and give you more horrible, delicious, greasy as hell food. It is good. Ori will find that they are two blocks down and one to the left of the Schwan district. Getting there won't take that long.
Ahem.
Marie smashes the big red button.
Club 404 promptly lets Escher have a field day with it.
The ceiling and walls are also floors now. The floor is massive beyond belief. And it forgot to be local. Step through one place and end up on the other side of the room. Some pathways make you larger or smaller or turn you sideways. The music is different wherever you stand.
Chaos ensues. Marie enjoys every second.
Marie is standing on the ceiling? above him, dancing. Dang it Marie, stop discoing. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncDsyPEq1Gk)Korloth returns to this bullshit. :V
Nope, can't stop won't stop.
Meanwhile in sanity land.. Reina is smiling. "Nice work, ma'am. This ought to make things a bit easier for me."
Meanwhile, Elizabeth continues to fix up the drones. Most of them at this point are combat ready, at least.
Also, twi does that again. :VTwi nabs this for safekeeping. And possibly character-listing at some point.Spoiler: NPC Patrons of Club 404 (click to show/hide)
Tasrak and Korloth both go figure out how to join the TSAB.If this is a combat position they're applying for it'd involve taking the combat exam Reina is stuck administering. Otherwise, I dunno. I don't have enough NPCs to fill an entire vast bureaucracy here.
I don't have enough NPCs to fill an entire vast bureaucracy here.
That's where you're looking for. Unfortunately, she's busy chatting with Elizabeth in the test drone hanger. Fortunately, there are mooks to inform her of your arrival. Unfortunately, that'd interrupt their chat.
Elizabeth discovers a large area blocked off from the rest of the city by a concrete wall and a dome of energy. At one side, she finds the entrance. The sign says 'TSAB Live Fire Exam'. A very tired Reina-chanin boring Ground Forces uniform is there, along with some even less interesting mooks. She quickly notices Elizabeth and blinks.
"I didn't have anyone scheduled for right now..."
((You should watch Nanoha first. Where do you think I'm getting this organization from? :P but yes go ahead play random people if you want))I don't have enough NPCs to fill an entire vast bureaucracy here.

((Anything to post for Meme in the last 20 odd pages?))
a nice view of the pyro ghost making music with her fire! Woo?
Once they leave, Reina pokes her head back out and shifts a bit closer to Elizabeth, still blushing faintly."Alright then. Goodnight, Reina.."
"Good night."
"You mean shipping or the El'Laborator?"RAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
"Eh, you'll find both if you look up either. I'd look up shipping first since GODS A JERK!"Chris has a note fall on his head.
Chris says suddenly yelling at the sky.
"I'm not gonna' fuck you, so no need to worry about that."((Wait Personas have-actually, vetoing the Personas can cause infertility thing. No such case for it exists anyway.
((What?))((*shrug* Personas don't do that stuff. Unless PN-chan can explain with alternate-universe Persona shenanigans.))
((Elf, we have no idea what you just said))
((Just read Jasmine's bio. Unless it's a completely different Persona in which case ignore me for being an idiot.))((Elf, we have no idea what you just said))
((Elf, we have no idea what you just said))
((Never mind. I reread it further.))((Elf, we have no idea what you just said))

Jasmine nods and sits down next to Lizzie. They begin to gossip about stuff behind Kyle's back. Girls.
((#GELIDLIVES SON))Spoiler: Gelid (click to show/hide)
She continues to cry for her mom.Yukiko looks around.
The girl has a faint scar on her neck.
A simply price to pay for a soul I just happened to receive. Anyways, I doubt that the mother will make the contract, so go ahead and keep her. Better than the fate she would normally get. Projecting an avatar in this world is extremely tiring, so I'm afraid I must get back now.No wait i need more drama
((Now we just need to actually work on the pages moar. And not just on our own characters. :P ))((*shrug* I can't work on a character that I don't know that much about. :P))
"Eh, being a part of the Ground Forces is not that great, sir. Sure, you get TSAB-issue devices and whatnot and sometimes you get to fight, but half the time you do boring police work or odd jobs like this. You're always going to get three square meals, though, so that's a plus.""Ah." Gaston frowns. "That is a shame, Madmoiselle."
"It's in the name, sir.""I can see that."
"What's wrong with bunny ears? They're normal from where I'm from...." Cuco's ears flopped down.((The fuck is genderflipped Velvet from RWBY doing here?))Spoiler: Cuco's spell list (click to show/hide)
((Absolutely nothing.((*insert OoTS x RWBY crossover*))

"Excuse me, but... taffin'? I've heard a lot of cursin', but that one's new to me."
"And I thought the Pagans were weird...ahh! Wha...what's that?"
Benny shakily points his sword at the robot spider.
Coyote is also in the vicinity of the guard, metal slime, and the- OH LORD THAT'S A SPIDER-MECH-LADY
"Hey there...?"
"H...hello. Nice spider...thing."
"B...benny."
Benny taps the metal slime with the flat of his blade.Neo glares at him. Somehow.
"No. Someone get me a drink. A strong drink."
Marie gives PAJaK-U a thumbs up.
"Well, The name's Coyote Williams. Nice to meet ya, miss."
Coyote just leans against the wall calmly, nodding his head at PAJaK-U.
Benny gratefully accepts the drink.
"To a world without taffers. Scratch that, that would put me out of a job. To a world with very loud taffers."
"If you drink anything, my darling PAJaK-U, you can have one on the house."
"Don't like undead...and taffer means criminal miss."
"Don't like weird pagan creatures or machines either..."
"Sorry. I've only met scary machines...talk like people, but they sound so...sad."
"Guards are the same everywhere?" suggests the Marie.Because Objectskools
why Object no steam/irc
"...Um, probably not... we're just writers."
Still that, then.
"...Um, probably not... we're just writers."
Elf's characters exist.
Not sure what to do with that.Elf's characters exist.
Elizabeth-chan is still probably handling drone repairs with Reina-chan(So kawaii)
"Hmhmhmh! This one goes... here! And that one is there... Boom! Another one fixed."
She briefly considers trying to remotely control some of the test drones, but then decides that.... such an idea would be scary and dangerous.
"They're in great need of technicians."Elizabeth Sneezes.
Elf is currently down because mark schemes are assholes.The what now?
V...you know the drill.....for Vendetta? :P
Yukiko wanders around I guess?
"B-Because I didn't! Why would I do such a thing when we first meet?""I know. If you did, I would be surprised. You simply smelled a lot like her and so I assumed you did until that scent was missing."
"B-Because I didn't! Why would I do such a thing when we first meet?""The way you looked at her, I wouldn't put it past you to at least want to." Cheru scoffed.
Said figure promptly bumps in Eina, seeing as she's the only other person active.They do!
"Doing good, I guess. There's no place like home, though."Eina nods.
((Does Yuri have any idea of where Eina went?))((Probably not.))
"What careers are there for ship piloting?""Cargo delivery, shipping, teaching other people how to, driving, driving mecha..."
"I was under the impression that nobody here in this plane has actually made such craft. Yet.""I've seen people from my universe, so I think they have."
By now, Yuri has decided that there are one of three options, the first, that she's some sort of otaku cosplaying as an automaton maid complete with sound effects and colored, stiffened hair; the second that she's secretly using a, well, stress-relief tool, possibly movement-linked for some reason; the third that she is actually a construct with surprisingly advanced software and appearances, contrasting with surprisingly primitive mechanical components.
"Would that include military technology?"
The maid nod in excitement while the whirring is muffled by a door opening. She seems to bounce on her heels as she speaks.Taking one last glance at the apartment compound, Yuri comes to the conclusion that this pervert/otaku/construct's employer was likely not too well versed in systems usage, nevertheless, there is always the chance that they may have answers which at present seemed to be a scarce commodity.
"The master is good with all technology. He is the one who built the machine that made this entire building from scratch!"
Korloth is coffee obssessed teleporter man.FTFY
Tasrak is depressing undead gnome.
Benny is God.
Korloth is coffee obsessed teleporter man.FTFY
Tasrak is coffee obsessed depressing undead gnome.
Benny is The Master Builder.
Elf's characters are currently in the state of existing.
"Well! Might as well recruit the last time." Haruka-chan hefted her gun up to prepare for the trip."Does tagging along and taking photos from a safe distance count?"
"WHO WANTS TO GO LOOT A DRAGON'S DEN?"
"Let me be the first to welcome you to the madhouse. And I don't even mean this club.""Looks more like an over-elaborate cosplay convention than anything else. Any idea how I ended up here?"
"Indeed. Get used to idea that the universe is stranger than you think it is.""*sigh* Lovely... so this was how my late ancestors felt...
Cuco poked his head into Club 404 and tries to look as inconspicuous as possible and fail, because.... it's a club, and he's only twelve dammit."And you decided to search for that inside a bottle?"
"Hey, I was told to come over here to look for ways to go back to my home..."
Tasrak shrugs."What's all this business about a dragon anyway?"
"I'm not certain. This city has been here longer than me, I know that much."
"A bottle? What do you mean?" the bunny boy gave her a confused look."Unless you intend to drink yourself into a stupor, I doubt you'll find your answer in a nightclub. How did you get allowed in here anyway?"
"W-well, I-I was t-told that m-most of the people here w-weren't from here.... either" Cuco blushes and looks flustered."If that's the case, you certainly know more about it then me. Insofar, I haven't considered of any way out, well, aside from praying to Merrinae that is."
"You never know. I'm talking about a big scaly, sometimes firebreathing lizard.""Oh, a real dragon? Those don't exist where I'm from. We have large flying constructs that act as transports and heavy weapons platforms."
"Good luck getting out. I've heard of some pretty powerful wizards and THEY can't leave."((Who speaks in grey?))
((Cheru.))"You never know. I'm talking about a big scaly, sometimes firebreathing lizard.""Oh, a real dragon? Those don't exist where I'm from. We have large flying constructs that act as transports and heavy weapons platforms.""Good luck getting out. I've heard of some pretty powerful wizards and THEY can't leave."((Who speaks in grey?))
"Where I'm from, the dragonflights are sort of...protectors? Custodians? Something like that. The bronze dragonflight preserves the time stream for instance.""Protect it? From what?"
"Good luck getting out. I've heard of some pretty powerful wizards and THEY can't leave.""Know much about the matter?"
"No, apart from listening in to the patrons. Might as well make yourselves cozy.""Still more than me at least."
"Meddling wizards most of the time. Time travel is tricky, but doable.""Sounds interesting, so you have magic in your world as well?"
"In that case, what have you heard?""One guy tried, ended up on another planet. Took him years to get back. Another guy tried, he ended up blowing up."
"Huh. We can't really do that in my world."
"A pleasure to meet you both."He tweaks his dog ears. He's currently in bishonen guy with dog-ears mode.
Yuri glances over to Cheru and after a thorough, albeit unfruitful, examination for seams lets out a half-surprised remark:
"That isn't a costume..."
((Is that some kind of british word?))((No. It's a character quirk.))
"Well, why would you now?"She nods.
Chris gives her a blank stare."You're right."
Chris nods.Miaka joins him, curtsying in thanks.
"Good. Anyways, I'm going to get a seat at the bar. If you wish you may join me."
"Would you like a drink mi'lady?""Oh! May I have a glass of water?"
Yuri decides to approach the cloaked figure, she examines the cloak, checking its condition and material before addressing them with a degree of interest. "Hello, are you new here as well?""I am not native to this world." The figure's voice seems to echo and staticky.
"Yes, of the ballistic variety and of the magical variety as well.""One must be clothed, mustn't they?"
Yuri gestures to her firearm. The dissolution spear was certainly not named after its appearance seeing as it seems more akin to a triggerless, magazineless, bullpup military shotgun than anything else.
"Likewise, as with most of the people here. What's with the cloak?"
<GET OVER HERE HUMAN YOU'RE MY BITCH NOW>
Yuri attempts catch a glimpse of what lay beneath the cloak's hood.She sees a brief sparkle of light blue energy.
"...Okay, I got no response to that."
<I AM WARNING YOU, YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO THIS WAY>
<STOP TOUCHING IT YOU'RE MAKING ME UNCOMFORTABLE>
"So what, you're a mass of heat or something? Isn't that different from magic?""Yes. Burning things tends to be a part of fire magic."
<I WILL INFORM YOUR PARENTS OF THIS>
Elf's characters exist.
Eldon gives a wave back, returning the smile."Hey, Eldon! How are you?"
"That's what I like about you. You're an outlier in this unforgiving world."She chuckles.
PN's characters exist.
Tasrak is in his apartment, working on something.Out of the shadows in a corner, the form of Darnos is rather violently ejected into the middle of the room. A rasping groan seeps out of him.
"Building a clockwork automation."Why.
Risa might find Eldon in Club 404.She does. She's napping next to him.
Kyle? Something is definitely wrong. Lizzie isn't connected to my mind. You are.
Eldon thanks him and takes a sip.Risa stirs!
Lionan lives it up alone while Lucario lounges lazily.
"Sorry, I cannot tell you."Yes you can.
((He was a Mort expy before it became an Alphonse expy c:)((I caught the Mort thing, but not the Alphonse expy until you made it obvious. Sneaky bastard.))
As a guard. Non sentient beings are much better at prolonged periods of guarding than human souls in robotic bodies."I can certainly attest to that. They're also better at protecting people since they can be shoved into the path of a spell and no one will care."
((...So this place consists nearly entirely of non-original characters? How depressing. Then again, I suppose this more or less a RP designed specifically to allow roleplay without any new characters or settings being created.))((Considering that the expies are actually less numerous than the non-expies (Miaka, Carrick, Eldon, Meow, Rex, Bart vs everyone else, and even then Miaka, Rex and Bart are even harder to figure out unless pointed out), it's hardly 'nearly entirely'.))
((I wasn't referring to the expies specifically, merely the non-original characters, transplanted ones included.))((:P Isn't that the point of the setting?))
Yuri's eyes follow the glass's path up to their disappearance before quickly scanning around for possible locations, sleight of hand was a possibility of course. Though it seemed it was not the case here. "Let me guess, those weaknesses aren't just in solids, they're in reality, aren't they?"Something to that effect. Once you really start exploiting those, then you can apply it to larger scale objects and things.
He proceeds to crash into the roof of Club 404, landing hard in front of Eldon and Risa with tables falling and glass breaking, leaving a small crater in his landing.Huh.
"Okay, that should be enough people I think." Haruka-chan heads off to the dragon's cave along with whoever's interested in coming.Elizabeth and Coyote follow.
Bartimaeus chuckles and conjures a black orb in his hand. He begins to casually juggle it.Gaston keeps his sword at the ready.
Rex turns to Lionan.
"Do you need something?"
"What?"c
"Indeed," he says, loading his sniper rifle with sleep rounds.
"Yes there is. I don't think I'm the same Roran Whitmire--I'm just another soul designed to run a simulation of him."Then kill Roran Whitmire, and become him.
((RotMG may be getting consensually hijacked. Somehow. There may be a 5 year timeskip. Stats may be reworked. Conspiracies are being audited.))I try to guide people in need of advice.
"The fuck was that about? And what was that convoluted synecdoche on?"
((Or a RWBY RPG.))((yesyesyesyesyesyes dibs on being in. If it's made.))
"Why did that guy care so much about which soul he had? Does it even matter?"People are chronically unsure of themselves for some reason.
"How does knowing which soul help reassure them though? 'Congratulations, you're the sort of person who obsessively tracks meaningless bullshit, good job, now fuck off'?""Why did that guy care so much about which soul he had? Does it even matter?"People are chronically unsure of themselves for some reason.
From what I could tell, he was a teenager when he was transferred to a skull. Teenagers are often unsure of themselves, in the process of developing into their own personalities, so easy to mold to your desires. It's no wonder it shook his faith in himself, though now I may take advantage of it."How does knowing which soul help reassure them though? 'Congratulations, you're the sort of person who obsessively tracks meaningless bullshit, good job, now fuck off'?""Why did that guy care so much about which soul he had?

Most everyone would have been. Now I'm broken and forced to spend a few eternities here."Least you'll be fun at parties."
Tasrak stares at his runeblade.Not shoddy craftsmanship.
"A thing of great beauty is it not?"
Risa might see a certain Alphonse Expy walk into 404.Risa does a spit take.
<Oh, I assumed you were the skeleton. My apologies.>((*twitches and Miaka falls to the ground, dead**whine*

"Aren't automated production lines and factories cheaper in the long run? I mean, they don't need to east or sleep and don't resist or rebel...."You have the wrong mindset to be an evil overlord.
"Oh, a slaver, eh? I've had dealings with slavers, and there's only one way to handle them."That's my rhetoric you're stealing.
The soldier draws his pistol.
"Remove any doubts from your head. It's us, or them."
"We will assimilate your knowledge. Enslave your people. Harvest your magic."You won't. You really won't. I'd suggest sealing the dimensional gate before the army of superpowered loners arrives.
Once again the bullets stop. Anyone who could detect a thing would find that the mindflayer has a psychic shield around him.
"Runnin' and hidin' sounds like as good a plan as any."Speaking of running and hiding, that is just exactly what a certain Technomancer girl intends to do. Or at least, what she is presently trying to do.
((Roll a d6 for light, d20 for medium and d50 for heavy damage, add physical/special attack.))

((Well, at least it means that no matter what I attack it'll succeed. Min maxing ftw))((Christ, I just realized how overpowered Dragonslayers were. Darno's heavy attacks have a mean output of 125.50 whilst Dragonslayer bursts have a mean output of 136.50 when used by broken down constructs.))
((How is that? What stats and stuff do they have?))((Oops. I remembered it wrong. Their mean output was actually 196.50; The construct I gave the weapon to had 40 Physical Attack. The weapon deals a 3-round burst of bullets using one aim roll, all three dealing heavy damage. Which means that its total attack is three times its Physical Attack stat plus three simulated 50-sided dice rolls. Drawbacks are halving defense and preventing dodging during that turn and having a 5-turn cooldown.))

Theory however, can vary wildly from reality. Perhaps due to the damage it had sustained in its transition to this strange world, it instead targets the Countermeasure unit. Knowing precisely where it was (after all, it is logical for constructs in the same squad to know each other's location without the interference of the systems that hid them), it ignores all defenses as it nails its comrade in the back, dealing 215 damage in total.
