"I wouldn't call it that- it's more of a teacher-student relationship." He shifted in his chair. "But he didn't tell me to come here, if that's what you're wondering." @BringerofShadows “Then what are you doing here?” Her voice still aggressive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She popped open a bottle of gin and took a big swig. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Tamika sighed. The girl's unresponsiveness was annoying... but she could work with it. "You know," she said, "I just had to watch one of my best friends die. But he did it so he could bring me back. I miss him a lot. You've lost someone too, haven't you?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is... is there anything I can do for you?" On 8/18/2019 at 1:23 AM, Shard of Thought said: Star stood and reached out with her mind. "Shadow should be in that general direction," she said, gesturing with her thumb. "As we get closer, the signature will get stronger. Usually, I'd just teleport, but Narrating doesn't seem like a good idea at the moment." Xino shrugged and blasted a hole in the wall in the direction she was pointing. "After you," he said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Star dashed through the hole, bounding toward Shadow's mental signature. She found herself smiling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xinoehp512 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Xino followed, blasting barriers as they came across them. Now this is power. They passed a dumbfounded mime guard. With a flash of light, Xino erased him from existence. Can't have him running off to tell Silence... Speaking of which, where was Silence? Xino couldn't believe that he would let them do this. Could the man really be just... gone? Oh, well, he thought with a mental shrug. I guess we'll find out, won't we? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xinoehp512 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Xino smiled, twirled the gun dramatically, then fired. ------------------------- Behind Shadow, there was a flash of light as violet lightning crawled over the wall for the briefest of instants. Then it vanished. And so did the wall. Michael's eyes widened as he took in Star and Xino- and the gun in Xino's hands. His eyes widened, and he raised trembling hands in supplication. @BringerofShadows Edited August 21, 2019 by xinoehp512 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Star took in the scene quickly. At first, her face brightened; seeing Shadow again was a happy occasion. But then... she noticed the bottles. The puddle of vomit, the dark circles under Shadow's eyes. Her face fell and she shook her head. "Oh, Shadow," she muttered under her breath. To Xino, she said, "We're all here. How do we get out?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringerofShadows Posted August 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 “Didn’t realize this gin was laced with LSD. Oh well.” She said looking at the empty bottle. And then throwing it with the rest. “What took so long?” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Star laughed heartily, grinning. "Any number of things. And anyway, who's your friend?" she asked, gesturing at Michael. Edited August 21, 2019 by Shard of Thought 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xinoehp512 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 "Silence's lackey," said Xino tersely. "Remember him? He's the one that captured us." He raised his gun, pointed it at the man, and fired. Purple lightning shot out from the gun, crossing the distance in the barest instant, hungry to wipe their target from existence forevermore. But with a loud zapping sound, the beam stopped. Michael's face screwed up in concentration as he, somehow, held back the lightning. "No..." he whispered, barely managing to get the word out. "No..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Quote YEAH, MICHAEL! I am so rooting for him. Star's eyes widened and she swallowed. "Xino, Shadow, we have to leave now." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xinoehp512 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 "Have to... take care of this first," said Xino through gritted teeth. He gripped the gun tighter, pushing every last scrap of power through it that he could. Michael's hands began to shake as the lightning inched closer and closer to his chest. "Please," he said, almost crying now. "Please..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Star twitched. The look on the mime's face made her cringe. She knew he was one of the bad guys, but she hated to hurt anyone. "Xino," she said. "Put down the gun. He wasn't going to hurt us." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xinoehp512 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Xino did not respond, only gripped the gun tighter. As the lightning inched closer and closer, Michael's eyes met Star's. "Please," he whispered, almost too faint to hear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
