Silus - Shard of Flame

Why the heck would they give him a smaller room? Also, I'm going to LTUE! We should move that talk into it's own thread though.

Wait, is that a Barnes and Noble? Darnit, I guess not. I was at a B&N signing in West Jordan, so I guess I wasn't there.

Incinerate hits, shattering the frozen armor of the monster's leg. Overload finally brings down the weakened leg. The beast takes a last second leap, more than enough to crush you from impact alone. You duck and brace yourself, activating your Hack in the hopes that it's ready. Blue sparks run through the transformer's blazing yellow eyes, shifting them to green. In midair the form of the beast shifts and twists back into a plane, barely clearing your head as it lifts into the air and then plunges down again from its damaged wings. It takes out a row of empty teepees as it skids to a stop. You let out a breath of relief. "Look what you've done!" It's the chieftain, his face red. "Look what your little battle has done to our village!" You follow his accusing finger as it points behind you. The few buildings are smoking, walls torn down. Several teepees are aflame, with men scrambling to put out the flames with sand. The entire village is in chaos. "I knew that letting a Spheremorph stay here would bring trouble. Monsters, bandits and all sorts of trouble follow you like you're some kind of prize to be won." His anger had faded into melancholy as he stares at the damaged town. "I want you out. Now."

Well, remember how the Knights Radiant's skin and eyes would glow while wielding a Shardblade? That's probably where the idea of light colored eyes=nobility comes from. Which, as Hoid points out, isn't as crazy as other things.

...find a mouthwarmer. In case of Critical Existence Failure...

The drone curves back toward you, the monster is enraged, sprinting as fast as it can with a weakened leg. Your Cryo Burst makes contact, not quite as effective as the last, only freezing a chunk of the leg. It stumbles, but is still closing the distance between you and it at a frightening speed. Your drone flickers and winks out, leaving you with no distractions to fall back on. You check your omni tool. Incinerate: Ready AI Hacking: 5 Seconds You judge your time before the beast catches you. You might be able to pull this off with the right timing, but'll be close. You bring up your pistol, taking shots at the the already weakened leg. But the leg is a back one and your shots don't connect. Do you have enough time?

I've played, but not online. Is there much of a difference? I'll play even if there is, though. I seem to not be able to get enough of writing things on this forum.

...get a sniper shotgun. In case of bad fan fiction...

I like emoticons too.

Ahahaha! I just got it! Wish I had that, but I probably won't get it.

Ooh, I was at the signing that the first picture is of! And a WoK themed version of the second one would be worth at least 15 AWESOME POINTS.

An omni tool is a remarkable tool for multitasking, especially one as powerful as an Engineer's. Your Cryo Burst is ready again, but the Hack still has a few seconds left, seconds you don't have. Your pistol is of a good quality, not as good as a Soldier's, but when you've only got two guns, it pays to have them be decent. You empty the clip trying to bring down the transformer's stripped leg. About half of your shots hit their marks. Most of the damage is superficial, but you manage to land a few solid hits to its knee. It stumbles and slows, but it's still fast. Too fast. You tap furiously at your omni tool, reprogramming your drone. You have two options, hit the return to origin command, which will bring the beast back in your direction but will give enough time to save the child or type out a more complex route to keep you both safe but may take longer than you have. You only have an instant to decide. Market, Crook of the Plains - Ambrosius "Shock stick, good quality, decent condition," the greasy merchant sniffs at the taser stick, "Definitely not hygienic. What you pick this outta dung pile?" Not like he has any room to talk about hygiene with his, well, everything stained in unidentifiable gunk. But that's just how this place is. Most markets make an effort to seem wholesome and legitimate, but this is the Crook. Everyone here has a good portion of bad intentions and know it, why try to look like they don't? "I'll give you a gold fiver for it." You could buy yourself a week's worth of food with that, if you wanted to starve yourself, that is.

Alright, I'll wait for the middle form. Sorry, Emeralis, I'll get something up for you in the next post. EDIT: Done, you can go ahead and start, Emeralis. There's an update for you too, cuaiir.

The monster doesn't notice you as you fire at its leg. Unfortunately, your SMG is only moderately more effective than a blaster, leaving burnt out gashes in the armor but not going deep enough to get at the mechanisms underneath. At least you can tell it doesn't have shields. Its attention turns toward you, an analysis determining that you are the greatest threat in the area. The beast roars and charges, but it falters, multiple electric shocks striking it in the head. Your combat drone whistles through the air, luring the beast away from you. You fire your Incinerate ability, homing in on the transformer's frozen leg. The hit lands, stripping away the outer armor. You can see the working electronics underneath. A scream echoes from the one of the houses. A little girl has wandered away from her family and into the center of the village where the battle is raging. She isn't old enough to see the danger she's in. You can see a pair of men about to dash after her but your combat drone is heading in that direction, with the monster hot on its trail.

I really like this. I just need a clothing description and I'll add it to the Data Topic.

...have mystery antacid on hand. In case of Facebook becoming sentient...

But I have the Nexus RP. I post there a ton, and I'm the only one who can post there like that. It may not be much in the face of Andrew's posts-per-hour, but it's something! I'm also second on most topics.

Machine Desert - Jay'El The chieftain goes back to ignoring you, visibly working his jaw in frustration. He continues to bark out orders. "Reinforce the northern row! Get some snipers out here!" That blasted screech gets louder, it's coming back. It swoops along the northern edge of the village, laying down laser fire in the gap between the barrier and the ground. Several screams of pain sound through the desert air as men fall. Your AI Hacking ability launches, and sparking electricity emanates from the plane along with an animal roar. It's course falters. It turns, looking to make a kamikaze run at the barrier. "What in the-" You fire your Cryo Blast, which phases through the barrier and catches the monster on the wing, a layer of ice forming over its cannons on that side. A strange sound echoes from the machine. It's components shift, turning and rearranging the plane into an enormous, monstrous feline. "It's a transformer! Brace yourselves!" The beast falls, limbs outstretched, onto the barrier. An audible, electrical crack ripples outward. The barrier falters and falls. The monster drops into the middle of the village, roaring its fury. It twitches in places, sparks flying outward. Your hack is still processing, another shot may override it completely but you have to wait for it to charge. Screams echo from everywhere, the civilians terrified. "Turn your fire inward! Do everything you can to take it down!" Volley after volley of blaster fire strikes the beast, but this form seems even more resilient than before. It paces about, analyzing its targets. It favors the iced limb as it paces. You can beat this, the trick is keeping it from hurting anyone.

Post em here and I'll look them over. If they fit I'll put them in.

Those are some hefty words there, mister. Also, I envy you for getting to read IDWTKY. I can't get it until March.

...bring a space-sickness bag. In case of Homsar...

...make friends with the Avatar. In case of copious Avatar: The Last Airbender references...

When I say series, I mean starting at the beginning of the reboot, with Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor.

I would like to announce that Chaos is likely more intelligent than all of us. This has been a PSA by Silus Services, thank you. Also, I doodled myself a spiffy new avatar! You like, yes?

I would think they would have these at Inkwing. I mean, where did 17th Shard get it?
