Divided We Fall

[Gancho Libre he/him]

Naermen shivered, pulling Nei'an's coat more tightly around her. It didn't do much to block out the cold. She was confused. Why would Nei'an protect it, parade around in it, if it didn't even work as a windbreaker?

Eventually, the beige cloud in front of her stopped, and Naermen calmy walked into the center of it. "Where too?" she asked, looking upward through the mist. Now that she was inside of it, nothing was visible outside. All she could see was the beige.

'Training' came the voice. 'You should know how to use your powers. Without them, all you bear is your curse,'

Naermen shivered again, looking down at her hands. Although the beige obscured things outside of the cloud, she could see everything that was inside with her with perfect clarity. However, for once she wished this was not so. Her hands were scorched and burned, and a couple of her fingers twitched unconsciously.

"Where will we go?" Naermen asked, still looking at her mangled fingers.

'i'm taking you to Kalmar,' said the voice. 'Although, I don't exactly know where that would be. He is our best bet at learning oculatorship, but there are others. If he is not found, I will continue to search for him while you train with you Cosmere abilities,' the voice paused. 'Is this agreeable to you?'

Naermewn chuckled despite the cold. "You don't have to keep asking me that,' she said.

'Actually,' said the mist, 'If I want to keep away from any Unbiased, I do. Is this all right with you?'

'I hope," Naermen said, "That one day you will explain to me all those terms you keep using,"

The mist stayed quiet, and Naermen shrugged.

"I agree with what you propose," she said, and the mist quavered.

Then, her eyes glowed beige and she lost track of time, space, and gravity.

"Hello, Veil," Nalizar bowed. "I feel we shall be friends. I am a Windrunner, also of the Third Ideal, although I also have this sick Grandbow, as you can see here." He gestured to the huge bow strapped to his back. 

"I don't really know most of the people here yet, so I mostly stay quiet and wait for some combat or something."

Yzabet let him go and glanced around, her anger draining away as swiftly as it had appeared.

"You said poison killed him?"

[Arlin]

Li TaiRu rubed his neck a bit “From a mutated nightmaw on his out of Roshar but yes.”

[ShardBreaker he/him]

"Poor Raihzen." Said Veil, "well, since he's not alive anymore, anybody need a personal body gaurd? I was gonna offer it to him, but he had to go and die." 

[I Am Witless she/her]

Yzabet shot a killing glare at Veil.

"He was my husband, and I have no need for your frivolities."

Update on where and who everyone is:

Mace (Archer) and Drako (Grey Knight) are fighting in the underground safehouse by the ranch [I probably won't be posting about that for a bit because I don't want to interrupt the current action].

Naermen (Gancho Libre) grabbed the coat Rhazien was wearing, then ran off to talk to a mysterious voice.

Li TaiRu (Arlin), Soul (Life&Death), Yzabet (I Am Witless), [presumably] Death (Lopenthetwoarmedherzadian), Tevarah (Jehoiada), Veil (Shardbreaker), Nalizar (5ith Ideal) and possibly a few others, like Nohadon’s and Mac’s character and a TUBA NPC mortician, are interacting around near Rhazien’s (Mraize) dead body.

There was some ambiguity as to where we are after Gancho’s post transported him somewhere, so I’m just going to assume that we are still in the Roughs of Scadrial, on the outskirts of a ghost town.

Current events: Not much is going on. Everyone seems confused now that Rhazien is gone, so they're just standing around talking. I'd suggest stabbing someone. Please. 

EDIT: There's one more current event. Voidus' birthday. So you all should go wish him a happy birthday

"I have a request before I go into the Beyond. Transfer all my power and knowledge to one called Solace First." Rhazien said. "And maybe make it so Yzabet forgets about me so she doesn't mourn."

***

Solace leaped of a building in the town where people had gathered around a bonfire, pushing and pulling on the coins beneath him. Five thousands years of living had thought him a lot. Honed his skills to perfection. He wore a red, silver, and black aluminum mask, same color of clothing underneath a one piece mistcloak. At this wrist sat a device that monitored cosmere planets, tracked bugged targets, or geographic maps of the area. At his waist were four weapons, two revolvers, the ammunition on his belt and two awakened IV sabers. The crystals gave off a black, three foot long, lazer.. It was the crystals that were awakened, and with great effort and many, many breaths wax he able to accomplish suck a feat. The crystals were encased by aluminum save the base, which was a metal that he could pull on for easy access. 

He settled on a roof nearby hidden in the shadows. He identified that the figure that lay on the ground was Rhazien. If he was dead, and Solace was quite sure he was, that meant that he was in charge of the Ghostbloods. Things would change, Rhaien had been to benevolent, there wasn't enough killing, and Solace enjoyed killing. It also meant, hopefully, that Solace would get all of Rhaziens power, and that was quite a lot. He crouched in the darkness and waiting and watching.

"Frivolities? I take my job very seriously," Mraize said returning Yzabeth's glare. "Plus, he's Rhaizen. He'll be back somehow."

Soul turned while drawing his dual blades and stabbed a random NPC in the chest. Ripping his swords free he sheathed them and then lashing himself to a nearby mountain so he could watch the proceedings while making a plan. 

“Now that Rhazien is dead, someone new will take on the mantle of Ghostblood leader.” He muttered to El. “They will be dangerous, we must precede very carefully.”

You’re welcome @Archer

 

[Jehoiada he/him]

Yes Rhazien was dead, Tevarah thought. But we talked about this, Tevarah knew a little bit of what could happen when Rhazien goes to the beyond. He closed his eyes and encouraged his memory. "There there it is." Tevarah's eyes snapped open. "Tessi let's go." Tevarah lashed himself the fifty remaining feet to Rhazien's corps then still hovering in the air said. "I do not think that when whatever is about to happen, happens that any of you want to be close to that body. There were certain contingencies Rhazien put in place if he were ever to be killed, the first I'm not sure will happen, but if the first does not then the second will and it involves a very big explosion, and seeing that none of you are my enemies (at the moment) I'd suggest you run, or at least get away." Then not looking to see if they listened he lashed himself higher, far enough away that he would be safe, but close enough to watch and so he did.

[Nohadon he/him]

Taking a deep breath, Devaan drew a card and tapped it. 4 Of Books. Elsecalling. Within a blink of the eye he is back in the physical realm, wearing long white suit jacket, black suit pants and a loose cotton jerkin. He had no idea where he was, but that never stopped him before. He was standing on a mountain, and saw a figure standing a mountain adjacent, he sighed, drew a card, and steel pushed his way over the figure, dropping coins has he went. The snow on the mountain slowed his speed, but after some time of almost hitting trees and false tops, he made it to the peak.

"Hey" he said to Soul "who are you? I'm Devaan Sheonar, and I saw some powerful cognitive shadow just go to the beyond, you know anything about it?"

Sorry to drop in on you @Life&Death, seemed like a good time to join in though

Explode, nights Raizan what exactly where you planing? “I’ll need to get out for the moment I’m the least likely to servive if he really does explode”

It seems like we've spent all of the RP's acting like mountains are shaped like the triangles that little kids draw, with no foothills, trees, or difficult terrain.

Rhazien looked to Death. "Is that a deal? I go into the beyond for the fulfillment of my request?

Solace was board. He had nobody to kill or torture. Yes it was important to sit and wait but he wanted a scream or blood. Either worked. He pulled one of his guns from his belt aimed at the bonfire and pulled the trigger. These bullets were special, inside was uranium, encased by gold. The tip was long pointed, made of copper, allowing it to stick into the fiery wood, then Solace could excite the electrons with laser he had set up on one of the other roofs. The fire itself would do much to the bullet as it wasn't hot enough. He would just need to get the placement of the bullet perfect. An atom bomb in a bullet, one of his own designs. He flared tin, the light of the fire became unbearable as he looked into it, but he saw that he had made the shot with startling accuracy. Things were going to plan.

The bullet will now work. I did my research just now. I also think that it is funny that Lopen can do almost anything and I slip up a few times and down come the whip

Veil, hearing what Tevarah had said, immediately lashed himself to the mountain, following Tevarah. As he landed next to tevarah a man appeared out of nowhere, and asked about a cognitive shadow. 

"That would be Rhaizen," Veil responded. "He just died. Also, how's it going, haven't seen you in a while Devaan." 

[Life&Death]

“An old enemy, who used to be a friend until he took what I had and destroyed it. Other then that we got along just peachy.” Soul replied to Devaan. “And as for me, well....most people just call me Soul so we can stick with that.”

Naermen fell through space, enveloped in a beige mist, unable to see anything but getting a sense of her surroundings. She could breathe fine, but that was, she assumed, Feruchemical breath. The mist pulsed and swirled around her, beating in sync to her heartbeat.

They flew onward, but their minds did not merge like before. G. Libre had explained that it only happened sometimes. They did not speak, they only flew. They flew farther and longer than any of the other trips they had taken.

Eventually, they touched down on a rocky surface, and at once the beige around Naermen's eyes receded, forming into a saucer-shaped beige mist above her head. In front of her was a man at a desk. He jumped when he saw Naermen.

"Who are you?" the man asked.

"I'm Naermen," she replied. "I need your help,"

The man humphed. "My name is Kalmar," he finally said. "Now, what do you need?"

@Kidpen you want in?

Hmmmmm.

Only one problem with that.

Kalmar is dead. Leya's my character. I'll make a post where she does something sometime today.

 

[Lord Meeker he/him]

Burning pewter, Solace leaped off the roof. He pushing himself towards the firelight. Time to be seen. He landed before Yzabet. Solace stooped down, and slung Rhazien's dead body over his shoulder with one hand and with his free hand grabbed Yzabet. 

"Fight me and you will get hurt," he gruffed.

With that he leaped back into the air, propelling himself onto the nearest roof and proceeded to bound from rooftop to roof top. Nearing the edge of the village he again leaped from the roof top and landed spectacularly on the ground. Solace, like Rhazien, had a thing for theatrics. He raced up a mountain side, one that was opposite side where everyone else was, or had gone. he stopped on the other side of the mountain where it dropped off in a sheer slope. This is where he left Yzabet.

"You are welcome." He said as he clicked a small pen-like button and deactivated the laser.

As the shock wave ripped through the trees, he allowing it to push him off the edge, Rhazien's body still on his shoulder.

The village in the roughs was no more.

***

Rhazien watched as a light, a soul, one that he recognized as Solace landed in the remaining group of people and take Yzabet with him, as well as his body, or so he hoped. 

"Mace!" He cried aloud, mostly to himself. "You already failed in your task! Although, this isn't a real kidnapping, you were supposed to be watching her and keeping her relatively safe."

He turned to Death who had still not agreed to his demand. "When you decide to agree, you can come find me."

With that he trudged after Solace.

Time out: In the PM it was agreed that the bullet wouldn't work. Please edit your posts to have a more realistic explosive method. Thanks
