    The serpent just stares at him, confused. The voice returns in his head. My creations will not speak with you. They are driven only by hunger.

    *hugs* I feel you on the political stuff. But I get why the Shard isn't the best place for that, cause we don't want people fighting over that stuff. If you ever need anyone to talk politics with, though, or just scream at the world, I'm here. *lots of hugs* I get the productivity thing. A lot. Every night, its the same. I feel like I just wasted the day away entirely, and then I make a promise to be productive the next day. And the next. But I can never keep it. So yeah, I get it. I'm trying to do better today, in particular. And I'm here if you need to talk with someone. *hugs again*

    She hears the voice chuckle in her mind at that. The serpent, however, lets go of her, and finally begins to fade.

    The pair slams back into the water. The serpent's grip loosens, but it doesn't go away, although the red in its eyes does begin to dim. The ripples created by the pair's impact, however, heavily disturb the stillness of the water, and more and more of the black substance begins to coalesce around the splash zone.

    The voice returns in her head, but softer, and this time she knows it is heard only by her. Do not fear, little one. It is not yet your time. Not until I say so. The substance doesn't grow any further. It just remains, like a pool of darkness surrounding his every movement in the no longer still water, waiting. This only enrages the serpent further. The serpent's body seems to grow directly from the water, and it begins to slam Evee back down into the pool.
  6. Hoid Slayer
    Ripples made in the water by their movement begin to coalesce into a similar dark substance, but at a much slower rate.
  7. Hoid Slayer
    Alfonce's eyes widen at what happens to Evee moments before he spots another dark force gathering in the ripples of water before him. The force begins to coalesce, with similar gleaming red eyes.
  8. Hoid Slayer
    With her long strides, Evee covers a good distance before her path is challenged. As she turns around to speak with Taurian, however, a sudden force strikes her from below, carrying her up into the air. She is caught in the jaws of a large serpent-like creature, whose flesh is made of a milky black substance broken only by shining red eyes.

    Ver felt his heart warm watching them. This moment couldn't stay forever, however. Of and the Fox had already gone. Ver didn't quite understand what they were doing, but he trusted the Cookies he had placed on them to find them later. For now... there was a more pressing authority to address. Ver turned to Kelyx. "We would seek an audience with the Stars."

    I am the Beyonder. You may call me God. For millennia, I have observed your worlds. The Alleyverse, the Thread, the many planets of the Framework. Worlds of heroes and villains, tales of epics and adventure. And I have observed you. Their champions. Gods, monsters, men. You are the best the multiverse has to offer. You are mine now. The voice whispers in your head as you open your eyes, finding yourself in the midst of... nothingness. You seem to float in a void, your body standing on some invisible surface in a sea of ebon. Despite the apparent darkness, you can see clearly as if brightly lit, and you find yourself part of a wide circle with thirteen other beings. Humans, dragons, others. You have a keen memory of wherever you were an instant ago. What you were in the middle of doing. The transition, however, doesn’t feel rough. It is oddly peaceful, and you find yourself full of energy in this unusual plane. I have brought you here for a reason. Over millennia, even I tire. I grow. And I want more. You... YOU have gained the honor of performing for my throne. As you hear these words, a bright light suddenly appears in a pillar in the center of the circle of beings, revealing... a man. He wears impossibly white robes covering every inch of his skin, and his arms are spread wide as he descends the pillar of light. The cloth of his clothing flows in a nonexistent breeze, and his face is covered by a simple, featureless white mask. Yet his gaze seems trained on you and only you. Over the course of these trials, you must prove yourselves. The final champion left standing will receive the greatest gift in the multiverse. The others... will fall. Of course, such a contest cannot be held in just any arena. I have spent eons, time greater than much of your comprehension, studying the lands you call home. Lands that are, in their own way, arenas. And for eons, I have designed, worked, crafted my own land to perfection. Full of layers, planes, and illusion, this is my arena. This is my Battleworld. The Beyonder finally touches down on the earth. The pillar of light fades, and suddenly, you become aware of a change in your environment. Or maybe it was there all along. Regardless, the ground you stand upon is now covered by roughly a foot of water or a similar liquid. For your first instruction, you must listen carefully, for I will never repeat myself. To pass this first test, you must touch my clothing. You look around, and no one moves. The Beyonder raises his arms even higher, and the world seems to tremble on the edge of a precipice. Then he lowers them, and the voice blasts in your mind. BEGIN. ... Alright! Finally here! Characters: @CoderDrag0n8 Enocs @Through The Living Glass ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @Spark of Hope Marewill @Axehound Alfonce @IcedOutPenguin Evee @TwinStorm Stone Chaisler @RoyalBeeMage Roy + Helios @Wyver Silvyre @Kaladin Stormcursed Cep @KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren Sanadanas @THE DEMON Taurian @Dragonheir Cole Slate Puzzle @Argenti The Lord of the Hunt @SpartanBrigade Blizzard @SpiritOfWrath Aelorin ... phew That was a lot This RP is officially started Any text that isn't in-world should be in a quote or spoiler box The one exception is this post, the only in-world section is the first chunk up to "begin" The arrangement of the characters at the start: Aelorin can fit in the spot between Silvyre and Alfonce.

    Not-Adam stood in the dark. He should be happy. It was over. The Intruders were gone. The others were celebrating. Not-Adam couldn't share in their joy. ... Twelve year old Adam wept. He did his best to block out the witch's wrath, covering his ears, curling up in a corner of the room. But it didn't help. Nothing could block the screams she directed at his sister. His sister; his champion. Since their parent's death, she had fought the witch, standing the ground for the both of them. Her flesh was covered in hidden bruises and scars, carried from previous fights. Fights she always survived. Tonight was different. Tonight the blows against her seemed like they would never stop. Adam felt like he should stand alongside his sister, protect her. But he couldn't. The fire rushed in his veins, but it never burst through. It just shimmered softly, fading into a puddle of pathetic sparks. And their aunt kept releasing her fury. ... Not-Adam trembled, and he grabbed the lighthouse railing for support. Looking out over the ocean, the seas, the water claimed by his people. They were only beginning to explore their potential. He should be with them. But in his heart simmered a different fire. He turned his tortured gaze from the waves, and looked up at the remaining wall. There was another balcony, up there. Slowly, not-Adam let go of the railing, and began to make his way up. ... Adam trembled. Trapped in his head, it took him a moment to realize his aunt was speaking to him. He refused to meet her gaze, tears streaming down his shaking head, buried in his knees. But her fury didn't come. Instead, she just delivered a single, sharp command. "Go down. Leave us alone." Adam picked himself up, and in the instant he met his sister's eyes, he finally saw the pain hidden behind her tough exterior. It hit him like a train. She was broken. He wished so much to be able to hold her, to support her. She was strong. So strong. Not like Adam. He was already half out the door, and he couldn't bring himself to meet her gaze as he left her for the final time. Adam turned his back on his sole defender, and stepped into the dark. ... The doppelgangers were adapted to the dark. Not-Adam needed no light to guide him up the musty, broken stairs. Instead, he walked alone, feeling the sweat in his palms of flesh, hearing the ragged breathing of his lungs. Alone with the voices. They fought for control in his head, and he couldn't tell which way was up. The voices that had consumed him yesterday, rendering him incapable of completing the tasks set for him. No matter. The others had done it well. No one needed him now. No one would miss him. ... Adam stumbled out of the motel lobby, and immediately began to cry once more. The cold air hit him like a blast, and his ragged breathing made puffs in the air. It was dark, and the cheap lights around him flickered or failed entirely. Adam forced himself to move away from the entrance, and made his way around the corner of the two-story building before collapsing against the wall. He panted from exhaustion, despite having done little physical activity. His back ached against the grainy plaster of the wall, and he found his mind pulled down by the current. A million thoughts raced through his head. Voices. Screams. He shut his eyes, and tried to force them out of his head. But they stayed, and they wouldn't go. They wouldn't go. ... Not-Adam finally reached the final steps, and hesitated for a moment at the doorway. Then the voices returned, and he kept walking. ... A crash sounded from nearby, the shattering of a cheap glass window. That in itself shocked Adam, sending ripples down his back. He hesitated, and then came the thump. It arrived a few seconds after the crash, nearby. It was just around the corner. In the direction of their room. Adam shivered in the cold, and knew he couldn't stay here forever. In the bitter silence, Adam closed his eyes one last time before steeling himself, and began walking. ... Once more, the ocean appeared before not-Adam as he crossed the balcony. Once more, his hands gripped the railing, cold to his human touch. He turned around one last time, looking back at the mainland. Where the others already prepared for the next human expedition. He would never see them again. Never say goodbye. ... Adam rounded the corner, and found her. Her eyes, minutes before shining with righteous fury, now gazed empty into the sky. Adam choked out a sob, and collapsed to his knees before her broken body. His clothes, dirty and wet, squelched into the mud, where blood had already begun to seep in from the wound where a sole knife stuck out of her chest. Adam gripped her shirt with his trembling hands, and buried his face among its folds. The pain wracked his body, streaming where the fire had once burned. Or pretended to burn. A mix of flesh and tears, he wailed in the empty space, clutching the body of his sister, and let the sorrow envelop him. ... Not-Adam turned back to the steel railing, and he took a deep breath. Then the first leg went over. ... For what felt like an eternity, Adam lost himself in that moment. Finally, he tore his face out of his sister's body, and turned it up to the sky. The raindrops fell in a torrent, mixing with his tears and her blood, a dark concoction. Through the flood, he caught a glimpse of a light reflected through the broken pieces of a window. Shattered. Then the light in the room above went out, and all that was left was darkness. The pain returned, and Adam no longer tried to fight. His body tore with sobs. His mind tore with grief. Broken. Breaking. He couldn't take it anymore. ... Not-Adam swung the other leg over, tears streaming down his face. He stood now over the abyss, barely hanging on to the railing behind him. Every cell in his body trembled, and he shut his eyes. He couldn't fight the pain. But he couldn't take it anymore. ... Somewhere in the maze of feeling, Adam was dimly aware of voices coming from afar. His mind struggled to sort out what was happening. They were coming to investigate... investigate the crash... the thump... his sister... his sister. The wave returned, and Adam's body wracked once more. And then... something within him shattered. Adam opened his eyes, still holding his sister's body. But the pain was gone. In its place was a numbness. And a pleasure. A small, crooked grin began to form in his mouth. Why was he crying? What was he doing? The wave had passed. Or maybe it had never left. Slowly, carefully, Adam stood up. The voices came closer, became clearer. Someone had called the police. Without looking back, Adam turned and began to approach them, leaving his sister behind. ... This body... it was broken. It was broken so much worse than the mortal had ever imagined. Not-Adam could barely contain the pain within him now. As soon as he had taken control of the body, it had returned. All of it. It ran free within him now. He would bear it no longer. Wearing the body of a dead man, not-Adam stepped out into the abyss. And finally let the dark claim him.

    Hey guys So Yesterday I finally went to see a psychologist for the first time And I think... it went well? I don't know But it's something *hugs* I get this And apologies for the late response Maybe you're not the greatest. But at least you're trying. It's good sometimes to know we're doing it wrong, even if it hurts. Because it lets us do better. And I can tell you want to do better. Also, she doesn't sound like the greatest friend, but my irl friends would say something similar so... @MirkerLurker gave a great response here *squeeze*
  15. Hoid Slayer
    Well I mean a little...
  16. Hoid Slayer
    *hugs* *more hugs* YES. MUSIC. Afterwards, though, it feels like reality hits you like a punch to the gut. Hey *infinite hugs* I can't offer much advice right now. But you are not useless. You are awesome. You're wonderful. I hate myself too. All the time. But I know other people don't. So stick around for them. And for who you could be.

    Ver looked back at her, and his gaze softened. ”I understand. But Jidah…” he paused. “I need you. I can’t do this without you. Maybe if we got your immortality back?” “Fox! We were talking about you, a while ago. You’ve missed… a lot.” Ver blinked rapidly as the Fox and Of suddenly vanished.
  18. Hoid Slayer
    Ver nodded, calming himself. "Yes, apologies. You frightened me, is all." The talk of threats reminded him of the ongoing situation in Açila. He turned to Kelyx. "It has been nice to meet you, but I must admit, reuniting with Jidah is not the sole reason we came here. As I'm sure you are aware, the Cloud has a presence on the world you found us in, and is currently in the process of Rebooting it. We have a fortnight at most, being highly optimistic, before the process is completed and billions are killed. "But the solution to the problem is not so simple as stopping the Cloud - not that that's simple at all. The world has been infested by a critical population of viruses. If unchecked, these viruses pose severe threats to the Web and the Framework. We were hoping for your aid, at the very least your advice, in tackling this situation."

    Hey guys! I just wanted to let you guys know I'm going to be running a crossover RP (see the main RP forum) and was wondering if anyone here wanted to join with an Alleyverse character. The RP wouldn't be canon, and could use the character at any point in time.
  20. Hoid Slayer
    Approved! : D
  21. Hoid Slayer
    Yeah, but don't worry too much about that Battleworld will balance things out wouldn't want to make it too easy for anyone to win
  22. Hoid Slayer
    "So, an end to conflict, regardless of the victor." Ver considered that. The easiest way to prevent conflict would be to keep the current systems in power; systems that destroyed entire worlds over a virus infestation. That couldn't be allowed to happen. He approached Of. "How close is SoW to achieving their goals? How would they achieve them? This is IMPORTANT information. Why didn't you tell us earlier?" He looked at him accusatively.
  23. Hoid Slayer
    Alright, thanks Uhh... when I have the time Which means its unlikely to be before Friday... Why is my schedule so packed
  24. Hoid Slayer
    Ver ignored this quizzically. That... made a little bit of sense, but there was still a lot left vague. "Define the "chaos". If by chaos you refer to free will, then your leader could be as big of a threat to be dealt with as the Cloud."
  25. Hoid Slayer
