kenod Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Moonglow actually facepalmed at Cy's behaviour. Either she was a very powerful epic, or an utterly stupid one that either just got their powers or was bizarrely lucky, and the fact that she was currently bleeding from her hand indicated it was probably the stupid option. "Ugh, sure," she said, in a 'I can't deal with this nonsense' tone. "Just... you two finish up whatever it is you two are trying to do to each other, I still need to deal with that sparking forcefield once I deal with Depravity's stuff, and I'd prefer not to spend time dealing with this too." She thought against aiding one of the two against the other, but she had no clue about either of the two's full powerset, and if she failed to kill the one she tried to get rid of she'd have an angry cape, not to mention what'd happen if they'd kill her. And of course, there was the fact that she didn't really fancy siding with either of the two. 2
Fallapede Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Eliza gave the tall one an appraising look. Maybe he was something like her, or maybe he just kept the monster better contained than most Epics. Either way, she might be able to learn something from him. "Do you mind if I join you? It's been forever since I've had any company, and walking gets lonely fast. I'm sorry for snapping earlier, it's just... guns and I don't get along well." Maybe if I hang around them long enough, I can figure out their weaknesses, she thinks. I just need to hope I can play pretend long enough. 2
Aeoryi she/her Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Cy pulled out a syringe while the woman started speaking. she jabed into herself and healed herself, then tossed the syringe onto the ground where it disappeared. Damn, if this woman wants me to go, I'll go away and leave them in my dust. Cy thought, Nah, I'll stay for now. Quite lame too. "If I wanted to kill this guy, he'd be dead by now." Cy says. "And if you oh-so badly want me to leave, I'll be gone in a second." She pulled out the knife out of her hoodie pocket and transformed it into a sword that was easily half a meter long. The sword was white at the tip of the blade which slowly turned into a teal at the bottom of the blade while the crossguard was a nice dark grey, with a gradual curve upwards. The hilt was a deep brown wrapping that feels nice and grippy. she grips it and angles it downwards away from her body. "Gonna have to remember how to make this." She says, flipping the sword over while speaking. "Anyways, you'll lose if you try to fight me, cause I'm awesome." Then Cy did something Katherine would do. She summoned a bright light in the distance, getting brighter, until everything was white, then she created a tunnel that led her to a random location in Edmonton. But before that, she left one gift behind. There is no building here, she thought before stepping through the tunnel. Cy opened her eyes, she was outside a purple area, probably the one Moonglow had mentioned. Whatever. It couldn't affect her anyways so what's better than a nice adventure on a perfectly normal day. It'll be fun to see who lives here. @AmazingGoob@kenod, @Not an Ookla) Ally watches as person-who-wanted-to-die speaks about wanting to come with them. they look as if they have wild thoughts, or thoughts they would rather not say. Just one question first. "Whoa there, you have to tell us whether you like rainbows." Ally says, then thought of Zyth. "And what your name is." @Fallapede 1
Fallapede Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 "What kind of monster doesn't like rainbows? My name's Eliza, but you two'd better tell me yours, too. Fair play and all that." It's disturbing to think that the thing before her was once a child, but Eliza does her best to keep a level voice. She can wait. She has to wait. 1
Aeoryi she/her Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 "My name is Ally and this is Zyth" She says to Eliza. Time to expose her. "w-h-a-t-c-h-a waiting for? A donut shop?" Ally says and remembering Zyth again, she continues "I have D-y-s-l-e-x-i-a, in case you didn't know, and zyth here has a gun. And what you mean by 'what kinda monster doesn't like rainbows?'" looks like an interesting person. @Fallapede 1
Fallapede Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 "Poor choice of words, I guess. I just meant everybody likes rainbows. You're very good at spelling for someone with dyslexia." 1
Aeoryi she/her Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) "Yes, I practice nearly everyday." Ally says "If you have poor choice of words, I guess I have poor life choices. Whatever. Anyways, you have a goal of any kind? And what's on that mind of yours?" This is gonna be interesting. @Fallapede Edited December 12, 2020 by Exotwo Tagging 1
Fallapede Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 "I don't know about a goal, but food would be good. I'm getting low on rations, and an actual meal would be nice. Do you know anywhere near here with food?" 1

Cy says something but Eidolon ignores it, noticing the building disappear. He sends Moonglow with him to the spirit realm. "We are not doing anything," Eidolon replies. He thinks for a moment before adding, "I can check the forcefield for you." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While Ally and Eliza talk, Zyth gets his first real look at Edmonton. It's not exactly... nice anymore. Not very appealing to look at. Actually, there's really no point to look at Edmonton so he turns back to the conversation. "I don't know about a goal, but food would be good. I'm getting low on rations, and an actual meal would be nice. Do you know anywhere near here with food?" Eliza asks. "That's where we're headed," Zyth replies. Then he decides to cut straight to the point. "What's your Epic abilities?" Edited December 12, 2020 by Not an Ookla
Ashbringer he/him Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Blockade soared. The sky was usually - okay, always - Gyroto's domain. His abilities let him bend that domain, as they did many others. Instead of flying with grace, Blockade alternated stepping left and right, essentially climbing a slippery staircase that was summoned beneath his feet. Up this close to the edge of the forcefield, everything glowed the same cyan that his shirt was. It didn't look that different, honestly. But there was always the part of Blockade that was so impressed that this was his power, his control, his creation. His creation moved. A ripple across its surface, scattering the light. What. Blockade looked almost directly down, through the field. It appeared he'd arrived, and there was a girl outside the field. Tapping it... somehow with enough force to ripple up to... how high was he? Gyroto stood there, looking conflicted. Figured. He was weak. His power didn't give him the sight that Blockade's did. Part of him knew that was too far. Most of him didn't care. Blockade slammed a palm to the field, stilling its ripples with a thought. Then he moved. Dropping the two fields that served as his steps, he fell straight down, hurtling toward the ground, summoning more fields to augment his glowing armor. Including two large fields under his feet. He hit the ground, right across from the girl. The twin fields shattered, releasing a pulse of energy that cracked the pavement and stopped most of his momentum. His personal field took care of the rest. He didn't wait to see her reaction, although he did see Gyroto flinch slightly even with that helmet of his. He could probably tell how angry he was. Blockade outlined a sphere in his mind, then waved a palm, encasing both in a field. Then he held up a finger, and went to go look for the nearest overlap point. @Exotwo 1

It couldn't affect her anyways so what's better than a nice adventure on a perfectly normal day. It'll be fun to see who lives here. As you walk into the purple, pulsing city, everything is silence. Despite the... "living" flesh making up everything around you, it simply feels... dead. ============================= @kenod Despite your searching, and despite the fact that your prey were large, purple monsters, there is no sign of them in your territory. They must of ran back to their master, into that purple wasteland of Depravity's. 1
kenod Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) Moonglow watched as the girl disappeared and the building vanished, and blinked in surprise. She blinked again when Eidolon did something, which made her sense of touch suddenly vanish. "First of all, maybe explain what you just did?" She asked, somehow still calm. The only two reasons she didn't already fire at Eidolon was because she wasn't certain if he could defend against it, which would defeat the purpose, and because be might still be useful somehow.

Fallapede Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 "I ain't no Epic. If I were, you think I'd have bothered talkin' to ya? I've seen what they do to people who look at 'em wrong, let alone point a gun in their direction. Place I come from... it ain't there anymore. So I ain't so afraid of just guns, if ya understand me. Might as well call you and little miss rainbow Epics, while you're at it." This one's smart. I'll have to be more careful around him. Take him out first, if I can. "Now, where was it you said you were headed?"
Aeternum Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Warlock arrives where the supposed assumer is just in time to hear one of them say, "...said you were headed?" "Yes, where are you headed?" Warlock says, approaching the group. He glances at the one who is supposedly an assumer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another Epic? Zyth has really bad luck today. The newcomer step closer to the group, his three odd glowing orbs floating behind him. "We're going to find some food," Zyth tells the Epic. "And who are you?" "Warlock, second-in-command to Duality who is the leader of the AHE," Warlock replies. "Never heard of the AHE." "We're new to town," Warlock admits. "And we're looking to recruit." An Epic looking to recruit... Ally? It can't be Zyth since he isn't an Epic, but it could be Eliza Warlock is here for... Strange, Zyth thinks. He looks at Ally and Eliza before turning back to Warlock. "That's not my call." Warlock sighs. "No, no, no. I'm here to recruit you." He pauses. "I do believe introduction are in order?" Zyth just stares at him. What? I'm not an Epic! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Moonglow seemed slightly surprised to see the building disappear and a slight bit more surprised to see that they were not in the real world. "First of all, maybe explain what you did?" Moonglow asks. "I sent us to the spirit world," Eidolon responds. The building reappears suddenly, surprising him. After a moment, he takes both of them back to the normal world, landing on top of the building.
Aeoryi she/her Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Cy walks down a Purple corridor that feels vagally dead, yet alive. a silent wasteland, but it could use like a lot more color. yes maybe red? or green? She quickly alters the fleshy thingamajig to these colors, before deciding it is more fitting for a grey tone. Man, things are uneventful here. At least for where Katherine used live. "Yo does no one live here?" She nears a school that isn't corrupted. "Hello? Anyone here?" She pulls out a sword practising conjuring it a few times while she waits. If no one comes, at least I discovered a corrupt area that is awesome. Kaia was just about to ask the guy to fix the sphere thing when this guy falls from the sky and makes the other guy flinch. and then he makes a nice teal bagel around her. banana land mines. I knew it. Kaia thinks. And this man is like a raging wirlwind of ultimate construction. Meh, banana land mines is 3 way salt to a slugish apple pie. "Does he rage like a tree-beastlord all the kenos?" Kaia asks. "And why is he just so pretzel pedestal Argon telepathicy? And who peel net? Er wha-pentagon?" And when will this thing go away? by the time I go un-mental. "sorry. I mean that guy is supa angery." Kaia says, unaware of the lack of grammar. Aly header "Hello? You have an group? You are very weird and dumb." Ally says aggressively. "And imma epic too." hate em' already. "ya like rainbows?" Ally says, nearly giggling about the weird accent. @AmazingGoob, @Ookla Fell From The Sky, @Not an Ookla, 1
Aeternum Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Plainherder watches Zyth from the shadows. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hello? You have an group? You are very weird and dumb." One of them says aggressively, taking Warlock by surprise. "And imma epic too. Ya like rainbows?" Warlock reassess his situation. He could ignore the rainbow Epic and continue talking to the assumer, but the rainbow Epic seems like the type to just interrupt and then Warlock might have to kill her. He decides to address the rainbow Epic's question. "I prefer purple and black to rainbows," Warlock says to the rainbow Epic, ignoring her other statements. He looks at all of them. "The AHE is recruiting any Epics, especially High Epics. Please consider joining. We are located to the west."
Aeoryi she/her Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 "Bah, go away and stop s-t-a-l-k-i-n-g the sparks out of us." Ally responds. "AHE sounds lame, too." this guy needs to die. "High epics are rare and so is people joining your organization." Ally continues. he needs to die now.
Ashbringer he/him Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Gyroto had no idea what to say. One of the most powerful Epics in Edmonton was furious at this girl - Kaia? - and she was spouting nonsense. She had no idea how much trouble she was in. Or how much he was in, he realized. Blockade usually saw him as a valued second, but if he got too... Epic-y, that changed. Quickly. He popped out his rotors again. If Blockade started brawling with a speed Epic, he wanted to be off the ground, and preferably out of the death bubble entirely. He did have a report to give... Blockade collapsed a field at the nearest building - one he'd managed to cover just a few days ago. Ripping open the door - not bothering to see whether it stayed on his hinges - he stepped inside. Moments later, he kicked down the outside door. The bubble containing the girl and a very nervous looking Gyroto was just ahead. He planned out a shape, then made a new field just around the outside of it - one that fit him right within the edges. Then he collapsed the old field. If they hadn't been paying attention, it would look like he phased through the field. There was a decent chance they would notice the shift in borders, but that wasn't the point. He crossed his arms. "Explain this. Now." 1
Aeternum Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 "Bah, go away and stop s-t-a-l-k-i-n-g the sparks out of us." The rainbow Epic responds. "AHE sounds lame, too. High epics are rare and so is people joining your organization." "I wasn't necessarily talking to you," Warlock replies. He looks at the other member in the group who hasn't spoken yet. "It would be in your best interests to consider joining the AHE." @Fallapede
Fallapede Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 "Uh huh. Yeah, about that..." As Eliza turns, to face him, she pulls out the the blade she's been growing in her chest for the last few seconds and leaps for the Epic. He's clearly out of her league, but maybe the element of surprise will let her get lucky. Breakneck rears itself again, and she's barely able to force it down this time. It's getting worse. Focus on not dying, Eliza. Worry about this later. 1
Aeoryi she/her Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Okay, so now he's really mad. Like a mango stickman. Kaia thinks as the man phases through the bagel. Meh, wouldn't care to have a bag of chips or coconut trumpets. "Explain this. Now." "Stickything and banana land mines!" Kaia exclaims, "we were just talking about Melons, fire ants, and Chipmunk trees! and then the roof fell and a snowman emerged Hard reset?" "And then you came meloning out of the blue and there was a whole lot of bagels and palindromes." Kaia says. "Any questions?" @Ookla Fell From The Sky 1
kenod Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 "That still doesn't explain much..." Moonglow muttered as the building reappeared, luckily enough, and whatever Eidolon had done seemed to have stopped as well. She wondered if it might have something to do with that disappearing act he pulled though, given that moving into a different world or dimension could work though. At that moment her mobile rang. "Yes..." she answered after hearing them out, "dealing with other Epics... Hmm, alright, increase the guard, just to be sure, and keep rapid response units ready for the next few days, in case they're not gone." She paused slightly as they mentioned something else. "No, now that you mention it, I hadn't noticed. A bubble covering a large industry section is rather subtle, but I'll take a look anyway." She added, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Not very professional, but she needed to blow of some steam, and killing them wasn't an option, partially because they weren't present. "Well, apparently Depravity's monsters retreated again," she told Eidolon, "so I guess it's time to go check out my new neighbour to the south-east."
Aeternum Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) The unknown person decides to stab Warlock. She has it coming for her, Warlock thinks as his Healer Orb heals him. He enhances his strength by 3 Increments and grabs her wrists, efficiently forces her to the ground. He glances at the Ranged Orb, sending it the command to be ready to shoot her in an instant. "Nice to meet you too," He says. With a single thought the Barrier Orb forms a wall between the other two and Warlock. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Well, apparently Depravity's monsters retreated again," Moonglow says, "so I guess it's time to go check out my new neighbor to the south-east." Eidolon nods. Edited December 12, 2020 by Not an Ookla The Shard messed up my account but it's fixed
Fallapede Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) "Yeah, figures. Ya got me. I don't suppose you'd have any interest in lettin' me go, would ya? I got places to be." She's not even afraid, at this point. Just angry. Angry at herself, for thinking she could take someone like this on. Angry at this stupid Epic, for having power nobody should have. Angry at Calamity, and this whole stupid world. Breakneck, for once, is strangely silent, but she wouldn't stop it right now if she could. She crafts her teeth to be sharper, just in case, and then she waits. Edited December 12, 2020 by Fallapede Posted earlier than I meant to 1
Aeternum Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Warlock continues holding the Epic's wrists. "Explain to me what went through your mind to try and attack one of the most powerful Epics in Edmonton." He looks at the other two. The assumer has his gun out and is moving around the wall. Not so fast, Warlock thinks. He commands the Ranged Orb to move to a spot where it could shoot the assumer but also shoot Eliza. The assumer freezes.
