Roleplay Thread (Non-Combat related thread)

Phiss was getting sort of antsy looking at those corpses from the front of the ship. He knew he didn't want to get involved in this sort of thing, and besides, someone had to make sure somebody didn't take the Phoenix while they were out doing their investigation. Too much, too quick.

Still, he couldn't help but get that old familiar itch.

"Hey. Phoenix. You talk, right? Can you do a quick scan of the area, see if anything is still moving other than the chumps over there?" He wasn't totally aware if mobile scanning was in the Gummi ship's capabilities, but he was aware that it -did- have some sort of scanning suite for planets. He then got an idea- send a message out to those folks who did have some sort of messaging device.

The moment the rumbling had started, Leon's assault rifle was stowed, replaced with a tool that had, time and again, proved to be a far, far more dangerous weapon.

The tiny device that for all the world looked like an mp3 player was in his left hand in an instant, his right glowing with red energy... "Aren't you ugly? Dante, hope you're ready for this."

Dante dashed forward, building up momentum... "I think you know me, Leon. I'm always ready for a good fight."

Energy surged, Leon pushing it into the device in his hand, channeling it into the burst of power he knew Dante needed... "DIGISOUL, CHARGE!"

There was a brilliant flash of light, as the fox transformed in mid-leap, a second burst of raw energy dwarfing the explosion behind.


What emerged from that burning light was something different entirely. A nine-tailed fox, the size of a draft horse- no, bigger than that, even- had replaced the bipedal figure from before. Black flames burned at the tips of each tail, as well as around each paw...


Leon drew his knife, grinning from ear to ear for perhaps the first time, that the group had seen. "Dante? Walk. All. Over him."

"As you wish," The massive vulpine growled, taking aim as those flames glowing brighter for a moment, before firing an orb of concentrated black fire at the ground where the beast stood. "Demon-fire!"

Spoiler:

Carke's limited view of the future saw the paths converging a heartbeat before the creature came bursting out. Carke reaches out with his will and starts to form the words of power for //flickering flame//, but as he was choosing his destination he realized that he did not know the layout of the area Ono was in. Carke would always wonder why he chose to portal himself several hundred feet into the air over the event. He could only remember thinking "Yeah, that sounds awesome. Lets do it."

Hearing the vicious bestial roar and immense surge of heat seconds after Ono's booming "Wub", her first thoughts quickly formed on the milk soaked monitors in her mental kitty's control room after this is over Ono will be thoroughly instructed on the virtues of subtlety nya....

Setting the Ravager down Tao would focus her thoughts a visible schism forming around her body...soon her shadow would began to move of it's own violation mirroring her actions almost becoming two Taokakas at once, as her shadow rose Tao would dart ahead in Ono's direction her shadow following in her wake two black contrails rushing throughout the city.

((Rolling Navigate (Surface) Target Number 48 -10 for an unfamiliar locale (38): Roll(1d100)+0: 18,+0 Total:18, two degrees of success))

As the black sphere of flame struck the creature she only had a moment to look back and see Leon and an even larger and fluffier Dante exiting some sort of 4th dimensional CGI transformation sequence, taking several mental notes of Leon's ability to augment his partner's combat abilities Tao and her shadow would kick of the ground and onto one of the collapsing buildings leaping from one to the next in rapid succession.

((Rolling Acrobatics Target Number 60: Roll(1d100)+0: 20,+0 Total:20, fo degrees of success))

After several mid air pirouettes and impressive displays of aerial gymnastics, she ran from the top of one building to another evading crumbling infrastructure and debris during one such leap Tao would spot Carke much further away in the air wondering what he had planed since he looked pretty buff...almost as if he knew this was going to happen.

Reaching the other side of the city she would spot still seated on his motorcycle, upside down in mid air it's smoldering tiers still spinning at the speed of sound, she was quite relieved and surprised to see that Ono was fine, the only bodily damage being melted shoes...

Tao and her shadow would zip from one fire hydrant to the next, black blurs cutting off the caps with wicked claws shaped like can openers and pointing the highly pressurized streams of water towards the beast in an attempt to weaken it hoping this would be super effective.

((OOC: Boobie lady, Milk Tank, Delivery Lady, Well endowed lady))

Spoiler:

Any normal motorcyclist would have been screwed by that impact. But Ono was no normal rider. He throws all of his weight into a desperate trick to right himself before he lands.

[Operate (Surface): Target 68, rolled 16! Eight successes!]

Beautifully, he executes a half-inverted Front-side 360, landing the bike without damage. His eyes gleamed along with the scooped metal spurs hidden under the thick now-molten rubber of the tires.

"Henshin!"

A flurry of pale purple lines surrounded him for a moment, then cleared away to reveal his all-concealing armor, the fire on his shoe smothered.

"Something worth fighting. Alright."

Ravager phased out of the link, as she shook her head and soon saw the glowing eyes of the cat woman gazing down to her own in such a strange manner it puzzled the dark creature. The solid black eyes looked at the statuette of Arakune and lightly touched it with her clay white hands, “Oh!” She paused as a thousand questions filtered in her head, of what was the black squiggle creatures name, was the endowed woman her, and did he ever become himself or become back to whatever he once was?
These questions dropped when she heard the next words coming out of Tao’s mouth, about not being a monster but a Dolly to the busty female. Under the dark beings masked, a small cracked smile had formed form for as second as the alien emotions that she never could figure out swirled in her chest but it had been cut short with the sudden interruption.
Ravager hovered again when she was set down and soon saw the large monstrous beast ripping from the ground and everyone in her party already getting set on attacking. The hovering dark female quickly darted toward the creatures mouth, her solid black eyes darkened as swirls of mist wrapped around her frame, “I will enjoy ripping you from the inside..”
Already Ravager was aiming to get into the gullet of the beast as she suspected the creature could easily break through the earth like butter, and that the hide would be impossible for her to attack but on the inside she knew she would have a shot.

The Chimera looked pissed, it had been attacked, mocked, and had more foes coming its direction. Whereas 2 of its 3 heads shrugged it off and did their own purely destructive things, not paying attention to the fact the foes were quite powerful. The feline head, caused the body to purr, and it slowly made its way over to Ono's bike, caressing itself against the "virbrating" vehicle, melting it into the ground in the process, whereas Ono himself was thankfully shielded enough to not be melted along with it. It then looked unhappily at the melted Motorcycle.

At this point, Gordon Freeman left the Martial Arts Dojo. He was wearing the orange suit, albiet some in the group had not seen him before, as they were never near the Dojo. Dr. Gordon Freeman was swinging around his crowbar, then he put it away on his back. He then held out his right hand, and light flashed. Suddenly he was armed, and looked perfectly fine with taking the creature on.

Spoiler:

Noticing the creature's reaction to being attacked and the sole danger of it's presence being indirect rather than direct Tao would flag everyone down and cup her hands to the sides of her mouth, inhaling she would bellow "EVERYONE PLEASE STTTOOOOOPPPPP......nya....."

Approaching the feline head the only one that was not in an active display of destruction Tao would wave it down "My name is Taokaka if you can understand me I believe that there is some kind of huge misunderstanding nya."

Ono slowly looked down at the molten ruin that was his motorcycle, his black armored hands slowly clenching into fists with strength that made the specially reinforced joints creak with strain.

"Burst Mode Active"

The over-large eyes on the helmet suddenly burst into swirling purple flames, throwing off sparks in the form of little music notes.

"I don't have time for negotiations or pacification. We don't have time. It has earned a swift death."

Suddenly his hands twitched down to his BASS Driver, sliding across the screen like a DJ's record scratch. Yellow light enveloped him, pulling inwards and contracting the armor, the wide shoulders drawn in and the music-note forehead detail melting into the helmet to become long ridges. The arms experienced a different change however, the wrists locking in place with additional plates.

"Rigaudon Active. Danger. Vibratum Levels Critical. Crescendo Active."

The light dispersed, leaving him in a now yellow and modified suit. But that wasn't all. An ethereal pair of hands and a wicked flying V guitar floated beside him.

"Rider Power Metal PUNCH!"

Ono suddenly dropped into a semi-boxing pose, yellow energy gathering to an almost blinding intensity. Then the guitar and hands launched into a blistering solo, and Ono unleashed a flurry of punches in time with every note it played right into the side of the horrible burning chimera.

Carke stands there very confused at how his spell went off. He did not have time to be confused for long however as the man in the orange armor whips out a keyblade. "You are a Keyblader? How interesting." At this point Carke hears Taokaka yelling and the power solo. With a flash of annoyance Carke realizes that there will be very little of the creature left. He had wanted to study it and learn how it absorbed his spell. "Have you received an invitation to a party from H.R.M.?" he says to the keyblader.

As the creature let it's guard down seemingly coming to an understanding with Tao it was buffeted by an incredible hail of punches accompanied by an thunderous roar of music just as quickly utterly decimated by Ono's relentless onslaught.

She cold only watch as the Chimera exploded into a heap of smoking gore, globs of lava spewing through the streets and confetti seeping out of the creatures innards, though Ono's music was steadily being drown out by the steadily rising vibrations. She only had a moment to hear Carke refer to the man that accompanied hem as a Keybearer before the glass of the ruined buildings above them and the streetlights exploded with an audible "POP", the shards raining down towards everyone on the streets.


((Rolling Agility to dodge the glass Target Number 68: Roll(1d100)+0:13,+0 Total:13, 4 degrees of success plus 2 from unnat agil 4, total six degrees of success.))

Ono stood calmly, surrounded by the burning gore that hissed against his armor. The glass fell behind him as he stepped forward to lift the burning core of the beast from the rapidly growing hole in the ground, digitizing it into his BASS Driver hopefully before any harm could be done to him or his armor. Then he headed back towards the ship.

"It sounds like more are coming. Tao, Ravager, hurry back to the ship. Be quick."

Ono would release his transformation as he returned to the ship, stuffing his hands into the pockets of his hoodie.

Ono stood calmly, surrounded by the burning gore that hissed against his armor. The glass fell behind him as he stepped forward to lift the burning core of the beast from the rapidly growing hole in the ground, digitizing it into his BASS Driver hopefully before any harm could be done to him or his armor. Then he headed back towards the ship.
Ravager saw the creature had more than one month; better yet it had wandered away from her in her moment of realization of her predicament and found its way to Tao. Tao had shouted for everyone to stop and so the clay female did just that, wondering what Tao had up her sleeve and amused on how she spoke to the being as equals.

Though soon the creature was no more with Ono attack, and noting the orb melting into the ground, Ravager freaked out inside her masked ~Oh no, if that orb continues to melt in that rate, the world will be destroyed and live would be ta~ her thoughts interrupted as she aimed to head over to find the clade warrior already on the scene and taking the marker into his instrument.
Hearing Ono bark orders like a commander and head toward the shift did the sky rain down glass and allowed the little clay female to dodge to the right to avoid a large body size shard.

((41ag- rolled 23, succeed by one degree))

Ravager of course spoke out of line after the near close attack with simple glass, “I thought we needed to help this realm? We clearly haven’t stopped the evil..WE can’t just leave because of a noise we at less need to find out what is behind it?.”

While Ravager was working her way back, she had noted the letter and the present set out for her, confused on why it was here and what deity/magic sent it. She bent down reading the letter, confused on the celebration and how she wound up being invited, ~Amused..I shall attend~ this lifted her dark spirits for a second before she opened the bag to see the strange monies, and other material before stuffing it into her sack for later.

Hovering rather confused and followed Tao like a lost chick, clearly at a lost of what just happen and how a squishy person (ono) had managed to come out of all the events alive. She had viewed the two legged squishy creatures weak and cowards, now it was making her wonder if she had judged them a little to harshly on the whole matter of their survival,”Your not hurt at all??” Now thinking this Ono was some deity or dimi deity from a strange musical realm..

((Takes energy damage, at 12 wound, rolls willpower: 50, roll 12, succeeds by three doesn’t activate damaged effect)))

Though like any warrior in her realm, she felt horrible on the fact she had been proven to be useless, it defeated her function and it appeared the party was in a far different level range than her due to the displaces of attack. These thoughts lead to uncertainty, from uncertainty guilt had arrived, from guilt formed doubt, and from doubt anger. The darkness grew inside as she deemed that it was good that the squishy being had done the act, to kill the destructive force and taken the orb to save this realm. Though for her, the light side saw this as a great act, the darkness in her had told her he had stolen the glory and had claimed power for himself to be leader.
For Tao , she would noted a metal shift from Ravager, how the black eyes seemed to spill the dark mist and with the bond sense something foul an old was clawing out of the doll slowly.

Dante simply sidestepped the glass. Leon was, perhaps, not quick enough to dodge it, but armored helmets were a good idea for that reason. "I hope they're not all fireproof. It might get ugly, otherwise."

He didn't know why... but a very, very stupid idea came to him in that instant. It was risky. It was stupid. It was insane, even.

[Testing Willpower! Target Number: 60.
Roll: 64. 1 failure.]

Looking back, Leon would wonder what caused him to do such a thing. In hindsight, he would question his reasoning; tactically, it was what Captain Summers would have called an 'unsound decision'.

"Dante?"

The fact was...

"Yes?"

It was something that, when he was younger, he'd wanted to do.

"Bend down. I have a stupid idea."

So when Leon jumped onto his partner's back, swapping his assault rifle for pistol and knife in the same motion, he moved without thinking. When later asked... he would reply that it seemed like a really good idea at the time.

"Bring us closer. I want to stab it with my knife."

The hand that clutched his combat knife, for a moment, seemed to be on fire... But no, that was inaccurate. It was not fire. It was a glowing, crimson energy, that soon engulfed his entire right arm, forming around the knife in the shape of a swordlike blade... The initiated would recognize it for what it was: the light of a soul, burning with purpose, with the desire to avenge, to protect...

The beginnings of a perfectly manifested Digisoul.

Tao evaded the shards of glass with little effort making it look far easier than it should have been before seeing Ono strut up to the burning heart of the Chimera that she wanted to befriend it's burning core melting into the city streets, before she had a chance to cry out in alarm Ono slid his fingers over his BASS DRIVE and reached out to the core enveloping it in a symphony of energy his armored gloves glowing white hot before the heart lost it's matrix cohesion and collapsed into digital fragments that were absorbed into his BASS DRIVE eliminating the threat to the world's already fragile stability. Ono would turn and power down before sticking his hands into his hoodie starting of to the ship, calling Tao and Dolly back for an tactical retreat.

((OOC: Roll Awareness to see why Ono is hiding his hands Target Number 48, Roll(1d100)+0: 23,+0 Total:23, Two degrees of success.))

Then all too soon another mental pang from the Ravager, feelings of rage and loss of purpose nearly flooding the mental link they shared, the beast within gnawing at the the cage aching for an opportunity to rise to the surface resentful of Ono's overemphasized displays of heroism. Reaching the ravager as murky shadows spilled from her eyes staining her porcelain face as if she were weeping "Dolly-chan please don't be frustrated, nya. That was not something that Ono did easily...he hurt himself trying to prevent the Chimera's core from reaching the heart of this world, nya. He is only human yet he did what he thought was right."

Embracing the Ravager tightly before heading over to the man Carke was with "I don't think we've been properly introduced yet, nya. My name is Taokaka, the man who destroyed the Chimera is Ono Occhi" and this she says nodding over to the Ravager "is the Ravager but I prefer to call her Dolly-chan, nya. I'd like to know if you have any information about Haruko Haruha, ny....."

Hearing the brief exchange she would pause and turn to see Dante lower himself before Leon, his partner drawing a combat knife and mounting him before they both charged headlong into the darkness in her mind she could almost envision Leon bellowing "LLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAARRRRDDDDDDDDDD BBBBBBLLLLLACCCCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!"

Ravager looked up at her name (Dolly-chan) , rubbing the porcelain faced to hide the frustration did she listen to the pearls of wisdom from Taokaka and giving the dark creature a new in sued battle inside.
Light side: rolls 10, with 10 pep talk succeeds by 3 degrees, Dark side rolls: 66 fails))
The dark mist retracted as her head lightly moved up and down in agreement, “I..I trust you Tao, if that is the case than I shall believe it. “

She paused moving her clay hands to her face as if she was adjusting herself, “Hero’s tend to reveal being corrupt and wanting power, I thought of him wanting to be leader and to kill Scholar Clark for his next step.”

Soon she felt an embraced hug, it made her go limp in the hug as the cold being just hugged right back and wondered why the warm sensation seemed to grow strong every time Tao hugged her. Letting go to leave herself to her thoughts but staying close behind Tao, she was happy or relieved that Tao had pointed out the truth.

Ravager had to admit that Ono had done what was right in her eyes, and inside she had wished she had the same amount of courage to do the act. Though the darkness inside her told her that she would rather hurt people than save... Soon Ravager came to attention, “Shouldn’t we give him medical attention right away?”

She paused looking to the ship and turned back to Tao enlighten with new information,
“…wait two legged squishyes are called humans?!?”

The clay female grew silent on seeing Tao, was talking to the strange orange suited (human) and made a small wave to him when she was pointed out.

Meanwhile inside Tao head, the bound was a two way street , and something dark was going toward the heroines mental mind. Soon a knock was on the door for the kitten in the control room as a small red gentlemen was standing on the other side waiting calmly to be let in

The droning sound seemed to die away into silence, slowly... each reverberation caused shakes across the town as it got quieter.

"I am Gordon Freeman, Tao. Well met! Also Ono, you may have destroyed the pet, but its friends, especially the owner, appears to be... slightly upset. Can you not hear his mournful song?"

Even as he was talking... the sound slowly got louder... letting everyone know it wasn't just a sound... but a song.


"I hope that is Haruko Haruha, but she said she was leaving, and got on her Vespa. I stayed to confront the one who destroys this world with his magical song. The one who I am guessing is strumming that Model 736 Bass Fiddle even now. Alder Luthite, a servant of Chaos. Beware the girls, they are both... warped creatures, and enjoy causing harm. They are the ones who slew these people."

Gordon motioned to the dead bodies.

"Ah, there he is, look there, past the massage parlor."

Phiss blinked at the news coming to him, and not coming to him at the same time. He was back at the ship on his patrol, minding his own business, and then someone went and disturbed his SpaceSkype conversation he was trying to have with the others.

Rude.

Spoiler:

From off in the distance, he heard a series of loud thumping sounds. The kinds of sounds he really didn't want to get tied up in. So he wouldn't. Even though his hands are twitching, knowing they're going to get dirty with that same slick feel of blood again.

He sighed, waited for anyone else to pick up their phones, and hoped to whatever that fire guy liked so much they wouldn't ask him to do something.

Ono turned his back on Ravager and spoke calmly, not a single ounce of contempt or hatred in his voice for the ceramic construct' accusations, only a bare hint of genuine understanding bleeding through.

"I'm more than a hero. I'm a Kamen Rider. It means I will face evil and injustice to the end, no matter what. When the last note of the song of my soul fades is when I surrender to the dark. Not before then. No true Rider will do any less for the sake of justice and peace."

He then looked down the street to see the man playing his song, slowly approaching while flanked by the two feminine figures. His eyes flicked over to Freeman, then the rest of the party with a deep sigh.

"Looks like it's going to be a serious fight. I don't have a proper instrument to go dueling music, so I have a plan, unless there are objections. And if someone can patch up my hands, that would be really nice."

Ono would pull his hands out of his pockets, obviating the need to try and catch what was wrong with them. They were seriously burned, reaching nearly second degree on his right hand which picked up the orb, the heat having penetrated the ceramite-like material of his armor. He spoke up, hoping his voice would carry though into the ship.

"Either way, I think that non-combatants should take the ship and search for Haruko. We need to find her. She might know more about the situation, and anything she can pull out of my head could be a good asset. Everyone else should stay here and see if we can beat this guy. That dirge offends me as a musician. It's worse than the rapping demon I fought once. It couldn't rhyme for shit, besides the fact that rap is not music."

He took a moment to wipe the accumulated sweat from his brow with his sleeve of his hoodie, an obvious sign of his fatigue from what that attack had taken to execute. After that, he left his hands at his sides, tense and twitching as if in pain.

Ravager was shocked that Ono didn’t hate her, more she swore his voice had understanding; her solid black eyes looked to the stoic warrior. His speech seemed to build a strange energy in her eyes, something she hadn’t seen at all in her world and made the porcelain female even more curious.

The dark being knew time was short, and forced herself to do something that was against her style

((Light side rolls:01…darkside not even bothering))

Raising her clay hand up, she coughed and spoke up, a first to really raise her voice besides being whispers or softly speaking, “Mr. Ono of the Riders, Can I see your hands palms up? Just stand and don't move, you will be taken care of if my deity allows it..”

When or if Ono wished to comply, she moved her clay hands in a hover and stopped it in the center of his large palms. Bowing her head, did her chanting becoming nothing more then distant and echoy. Her words made little to no sense but made a strange thrum sound that could be picked up and clashed against the guitarist own melody. Soon as Ono had picked up the sound with his own ears, his eyes saw the world was moving half a second slower and in his own minds eye did he noted Ravagers own clay skin with the faint stippling markers was faintly glowing.

The glowing light was at first a dark red, and soon shifted to a neon blue and finally altered into a pale yellow of light. Slowly it spread and wrapped around the pale porcelain skin like an ink pen printing across white paper; the markers now looking to be a design with wording that appeared alien. The designs stood out more on her body ((with the right skill check)) , appeared to be a moving star map.

((will save to resist healing or allowing it XD))

Ono being submerged in the magic, allowed Ravager to finally touched her own palm against his own, sending a blast of cold going up and down his spin. Ono soon saw in his very own eyes, the damaged he had received on saving the world was mending before his eyes, his skin was stitching back together and his burnt skin was turning to ash. At first it appeared as if the magic was eating the damage he had obtained and he was under attack, but the fresh new flesh peaked.

Ravager broke from her bow and looked up to Ono own eyes, seeing not the typical solid black eyes, but space itself.




Time froze when their eyes met, and soon she said just one word that finally was cleared after the chanting had died “Oso.”



The world snapped back into reality, as Ono had found himself in fit shape as all ill effects and damage had washed away into the small pile of ash resting against his right palm.

Ravager had removed her white clay hands from his own, and bowed her head, looking like the normal doll like female, with simple black eyes and pale white clay skin. She hovered back to the ground to look at the foe and then looked back up to him, her voice lightly speaking up as if the whole action she had performed on healing him had not accrued,

“If you can try to hold him in place, and Tao could launch me at him? I could make a devastating move…”

((Ono is completely healed, fit as a fiddle with no damages or fatigue))

For Ono it was minutes, though for the party they just saw Ravager fly to Ono, say Oso, and a small flash filtered through them both in multicolor before Ono stood before the group completely healed.

A door at the opposite end of an isolated two way street would burst open before the sharply dressed little red man and overwhelming light spilled forth momentarily before dissipating as suddenly as it came, on the other side of the door was a single fairly large office split into multiple small cubicles and far above the sun shined with a smile on its face, the clouds themselves spilled fountains of milk and around the office were several streams full of a wide variety of fish and the mountains in the distance looked vaguely like steamed buns.

The office itself was decorated in a soft white a passing kitten would casually mention that it changed based on Tao's emotional state, another thing of note was that there were several other doors adjacent to the main office with very large and colorful labels four of them being of particular note IMAGINATION LAND, NYA! a room decorated with ever shifting pictures a vast majority of them being of large breasted women, Tao's Fears an heavily secured room two mental Tao's dressed in black stood guard at it's entrance, R&D several Tao's would shuffle about this room wearing lab coats chatting about ideas and finally HOPES & DREAMS.

At the office's entrance sat a secretary who looked much like Taokaka who smiled very broadly at the little man's entrance "Hello there and welcome to Tao's mind, nya. The Big Boss has been expecting something like this for a while now. What can we do for you today, nya?" gesturing to a chair in front of her.

((OOC: Ever see that episode of the venture brothers where the monarch tried to hack Dr. Venture's mind?))
----------------------------------------------
Tao was quite happy to see that Ono seemed to understand where Dolly was coming from and it was then that she truly realized how different the all were....the fact that they were able to work together despite knowing so little about each other gave her a sense of hope.

Cautiously she watched the mysterious musician and his unearthly back-up dancers approach, turning to Ono and the Ravager with a nod "I'll follow your lead, nya. Perhaps if we are able to defeat this Alder Luthite we can prevent this world from being destroyed, nya."

((Rolling acrobatics Target Number 60, Roll(1d100)+0: 33,+0 Total:33, four degrees of success.))

Picking the Ravager up again after she spoke her strange word, she would seemingly retreat from the battle circling around and towards one of the collapsing buildings and kick off the ground at an unreal speed kicking the very air rapidly until her heels touched down upon the building's side, she ran until she had scaled the four story building in a matter of moments.

((Rolling Stealth Target Number 60 +10 from synskin (70), Roll(1d100)+0:9,+0 Total:9, eight degrees of success.))

At the top of the building Tao had a great vintage point and was primed to throw the ravager when she gave the signal before a soft ping shook her to her senses in all the confusion it seemed that she had missed the activity on Space Skype.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Alder Luthite lifted his guitar up... his other hand grasping a simple pick. The two girls blurred out of existence to his sides, they now looked quite differently as great beasts burst through the concrete, and they clamoured atop them. Ready for combat, their claws dancing with a beautiful display of ferocity.



Alder started playing, as he floated into the air... as drums came in, you see other individuals appearing from the portals opening all over the city, each one of them carrying large weaponry. The music blared from speakers on their shoulders.





Immediately bursts of sound fired at everyone in the group (Attacks at everyone, feel free to dodge) from some kind of sound blasters, very odd weapons. Other attacks missed and caused a street light to shake itself apart, the ground to rip up and crack, as well as most of the City Hall to cave in on the front from the sound alone.

Meanwhile, the now floating Alder, the waves of bass were visibly coming off of him, causing Tao's ears to bleed from the sound, and Ravager's would, if she really had ears that worked that way. (+0 Toughness test or be deafened for 1d5 Minutes for everyone, even the people in the ship). Any glass that had not broken earlier, including goggles, syringes, glass bottles, glasses... shattered from the waves, and those on rooftops were susceptible to the changes in winds (+0 Agility Test or fall, +0 Agility test to catch yourself if you fall, otherwise fall.)

Glass bouncing harmlessly off of Carke's telekinetic shield, he looks at the newcomer. He briefly considers trying to talk to this man before the racket starts. ((Rolling toughness, TN 40. Rolled 5, 4 successes!)). "We do not have time for this." he thinks to himself as the armored creatures step out of the portals. Carke will flicker out of the way of any blasts. ((rolled, 55. Success, lots)) "Keyblader, we should leave." He will say to Gordon. Carke will start making his way back to the ship, blasting foes that get too close. Or attempting to at the least.
