    Max hugged Althea. “Thank you for bringing me back,” he whispered and stood up shakily, moving to lean against a wall. The Rioter seemed dead more than ever, and Frob was saying something to Devaan. Or Hellbent, by the posture. The kid was standing by the side. “No one dead,” he said quietly. “That’s good.”

    A woman talked and the captain was about to cut her off, remind her he was the captain here, but he recognised her as the Righthand’s secretary so he stayed silent, it was usually not a good idea to mess with someone so directly connected to the leadership of the Ghostbloods. After she had finished, the captain stepped forward. “As we told to your soldiers, we’ve surrendered a large plot of land for your church, as a peace offering. How else we can make it up to you, is dependent on you.” @Blessing of Potency

    Max felt someone holding him, and his mind still spun with frenzy. He felt something in his mind, a memory, and it seemed to push the other memories, memories of death and darkness away as it swam to the front of his mind. He saw the memory, remembered it, from their anniversary. He’d Rioted her happiness then, too. And she’d been surprised. Reminded of Oasis, he thought, just like that, he had ruined it. But she had told him she liked it in return and he’d continued. Opening his eyes Max began to notice where he was and what was happening, his mind cooling down after the intensity of what had been attacking it. But still, Max felt a headache, and his mind still seemed fractured and fragile after being torn apart so much. He saw Althea looking at him, her arms wrapped around him, a hand on his cheek. He looked at her for a moment, grateful she was here, that he wasn’t alone. “Is that really how it feels?” He asked quietly, bringing a hand to his head.

    “That’s a good idea,” Alask said. “We could post something there, I could go around asking people. Most look up to Laonin, he was the Man who Fixes. I guess if we use that, we could get them to join, sort of like a religion, except not really.” Hearing a knock on the door Alask lighted up, standing and walking to the door. “See, that might be a recruit now,” he said, opening the door. “Yes?”

    Max had killed the smoker. Sethramir was still resting in the Koloss-blooded man’s chest. He turned around, smiling warily in his accomplishment, dismissing Sethramir, and raising hi — And the force of his thoughts crushed him, and Max collapsed under the force of his own emotions, and there was no Orem to think about, his thoughts scattering like shards of glass, his mind the cup that had shattered. Max fell to his side, laying on the floor, and he grasped his head and he moved to scream but it would too much, too much pain, feeling, helplessness, it came out as a gasp, his eyes wide and memories returning to him in agonising flashes. Sketches of that night, under the pale moon while, a war raged on. He’d been a burden, hasn’t he? If it wasn’t for him, stupid Max, stupid him, the world would have had a war hero instead of him, Broken him. Broken Max who couldn’t even look at Hemlaurgy, being a burden to him. Oh, rust, he’d killed everyone. If it wasn’t for him, Rashan would be alive. If it wasn’t for him, Mara would never have had to worry about him, Mara would have never tried to protect him, got herself killed. He was useless, and the stone ground seemed to pull Max into it, not letting go, not letting him rest. He began to shake, realising this is how it must have felt, the Rioting, this is how it must have felt to be at Oasis, under his own influence. Was this the type of torture he had forced all of them through, keen to apply it but never experienced himself. He had done this, to so many people. And his guilt multiplied and compounded upon the Rioting, leaving him in an emotional mess of anger, fear, guilt, and many more that ravaged him. He closed his eyes, Rioting out positive emotions and enhancing them the most he’d done this trip. Althea had to,d him to save the Rioting for a good moment and this seemed it. Happiness, Focus, he Rioted all of it, desperately hoping it would counter the other Rioter, that everyone else wasn’t as much of a mess as he was. But what did it matter? All he’d been to anyone in his life was a burden after all.

    “Goal?” Alask asked, sensing her disappointment. He walked over to the large workman’s desk in the centre of the main room. It seemed not too long ago, when he’d been lead here by a Laonin, meeting with the other ragtag members, united only by wanting a better AlleyCity. “Recruitment,” Alask said, looking to Lena again. “I wasn’t really expecting this,” he said quickly, apologetically, gesturing around to the Forge. “But, I’m sure it will get better, we just need more people, clean up this place, and we’re back in business.” He smiled.

    Max groaned and it turned to a yell as the kid ripped the axehead out of him, though the pain was replaced by healing and Max saw the kid use his skates to slash the man’s chest before going elsewhere. Healed, Max yelled and charged with Sethramir, ducking under the first sword swing and stabbing Sethramir into the man’s chest, seeing the eyes burn out. The smoker was gone. Instantly, Max’s Rioting could be felt in greater intensity all around the base.

    Rob nodded, sitting down. “Fantasy is weird,” he said. He’d never understood all that stuff about magic and powers.”

    “That seems like a very short story for all of those movies,” Rob mentioned. “Especially if there as long as you say.”

    Wilhelm continued, bearing their conversation about dealing with the woman with the bleeding leg. He continued his process of trying to turn the gas from the wine to liquid, listening.

    Rob scratched his head. “All I heard was an interesting evil guy, got the strongest ring, and gave it to his nephew?”
  13. I think I am here.
    “I disagree,” Rob said, walking towards where everyone was. “No amount of Radiancy can replicate an atomic bomb, or even defend against one. Surges can’t imitate a space shuttle, or so many other things.” He looked up. “And what’s the Lord of the Rings?”

    There’s a thread for this Within that thread there is also a link to another thread which looks at specifically Rosharan curses in more detail.

    “No,” Wilhelm shook his head, then tilted his head to the side. “Would alcohol make the fire larger?”
  16. I think I am here.
    Rob nodded. “Sure.” He didn’t mention the flames that danced in the corner of his eye, the compulsion he’d had to sketch them in his book. “Shana as hurt as she is? How badly was she injured?” Ben had said she’d been mostly fine now.

    Wilhelm nodded and went upstairs. He saw the fire the woman had made, noting how quick she had made it. She could be useful, Wilhelm decided. Holding the open wine bottle over the fire he tried to arrange some sticks to hold it in place. “It will turn into gas, the wine,” Wilhelm said, making some vague hand gestures. “And then, we shall put something cold over the gas, like metal.” Taking out one of his knives he held it over the wine. The wine hadn’t begun to boil yet so it was pointless. “And when the gas touches the metal it becomes water. Isn’t it magic?” He said with his accent.

    ~a long while later~ The iron door that had once adorned the Forge, kept it safe was now rusted. Windows were boarded over and the neighborhood was starting to once again look worn. It had been chaos and ruins before Laonin had arrived, and with him gone and no one maintaining and protecting this sector of AlleyCity it was slowly returning to its roots. Alask walked through the neighbourhood, keeping an eye on the alleys. When he arrived at the Forge he heaved open the rusted door and entered, switching on a light. The place smelled like metal and smoke, but the interior had remained untouched but dusty from a long stretch of abandonment. “This is what we have so far,” he said, turning to look at Lena, to judge her reaction. “That, and the neighbourhood. They sort of like us, but with Laonin gone they’ve grown kind of indifferent.” He scratched his head. @Sorana

    Wilhelm went downstairs and passed Lizanne as she went back up. As he walked down into the cellar he looked at the bottles of wine and got one out, opening it. “To turn it into water I need fire,” he said, and then looked at the cheese. With that food, and what they already each had, they would last long enough to perhaps look for more food. That... or an option Wilhelm didn’t want to consider.

    Max saw the kid dodge and weave around the man’s attacks and he smiled. The kid was good. The man brought out an axe and swung it in a wide arc. Using the distraction the kid had caused Max charged into the man from behind, using a hip throw to send both of them to the ground. As they moved over the rock Sethramir swung in Max’s hands and he swung it directly towards the Coppercloud, his Rioting having no impact. Sethramir cut through the man’s axe and moved to cut the man, but the momentum kept the axe head flying and it stabbed into Max’s gut.

    Abel crossed his arms, listening to his songs. He shouldn’t have been caught up in all of this. Mercenaries, terrorists, gunfights. It was all inspirational, yeah, but this was just too dangerous. Slowly he brought out a notepad and began writing down song ideas. He only had a tune and a couple lines, but he was sure he could spin it into something. “And what about people who do have a grudge? With you?” He asked, leaning against a wall.

    Rob looked to Flid again. “After the spar?” He nodded. “Yeah. Just a little tired, but it’s all good now. Why?”

    The fight began. Max charged a random guy, who looked Kokoda blooded. The man was large, and he looked tough. Max swung his staff at the man but the man parried the blow with his sword and lunges forward. Max rolled to the side and raised his free hand, targeting the man with strong Rioting. The man hesitated for a moment, then swung his sword in a wide arc at Max again. The kid said there was a Smoker. This must be it. Oh, Copperclouds, probably the only resistance against Max and aluminium hats. Max brought his staff out to block the sword from decapitating him and the sword hit the staff and almost snapped it. Amping up the Rioting he threw himself at the man where his sword’s range wouldn’t help. The Koloss-blooded man’s strength wasn’t something to be messed with and he threw Max to a wall. “Ow,” Max said, Sethramir appearing in his hand and he smiled a little. “Alright, let’s do that again.”

    “We should,” Rob nodded, though it felt like Flid was mostly just relieved that Rob didn’t have any romantic inclinations to Leona. He wondered if Leona thought the same way about Flid and continued on that train of thought until he found something else to think about.
