On the planet Vulcum, a galaxy far from the Milky Way, life has been easy for many moons. But, the uneasy alliance between the lands in Slander aree hanging by a thread. Crescent Island, the Land of Emit, Scalus, and Nimbuslus Land are close to declaring war on each other. The only people who can foresee the answer to this problem are the prophets living in the underworld. But they all reek of death, and can not speak out of what they see will happen if the corners of Slander begin to fight.
These dead men needed their secrets shared... They would need warriors, sailors, and people of all types to get to their own world.

The Places
CRESCENT ISLAND is like Delfino Plaza in Super Mario Sunshine. It is a very important harbor, with many sailors, and is the main trade port of the four lands. Many pirates and theives also live here. The pirates steal from other lands for Crescent Island, also showing off their great naval skills, while theives live in Crescent Island because of all the riches to steal. (Cruscian)
LAND OF EMIT has four different time zones within it. Each corner is a different time. They are all off from each other by about five hours. The time is in the same order as quadrants on a graph (Top left: earliest; Bottom left: latest). The people here are usually as wise as father time himself. (Emitter)
SCALUS is home of the strongest and roughest warriors and strict soldiers. They have the best blacksmiths, and their home is like the wild West. They live with a very strict schedule, with a curfew of 10:00PM and very strict rules. "It builds character," their goverment says. "No mercy!" is one of their motto's, viewing them as cold hearted people. (Scalander)
NIMBUSLUS LAND is home of the worshipper of Gods. They believe in millions of different Gods. Any God that has ever existed, they believe in. The Nimbusians are nimble and quick, usually skinny, and are the main producers of alchohol and fruit. Their land is filled with cliffs and most of the people live in houses on the side of a mountain, or pertruding out of the cave. (Nimbusian)
____________________________________________________________________
The People
SAILORS travel the seas. They are the only people who know how to cross the Whirl Channel without being harmed or sucked in.
SOLDIERS are strict military men. They know how to keep order and their favorite weapon is a gun.
SWORDMASTERS are great with any sword-like weapon.
NINJAS are fast and nimble, with martial arts moves.
THEIVES are quiet and stealthy. They are exquisite pickpocketers and make a living off of stealing.
PIRATES can't travel the Whirl Channel, but they have cannons on their ships and know how to get out of a sticky situation.
PRIESTS pray to the Gods. They can borrow a little bit of power from a God if they make the right sacrifice and it is a very rare situation. They are usually weak and quiet, but are very wise and speak the truth.
PROPHETS are people who see images flash before their eyes. They can see the future, and try to change it before something horrible happens. Mostly, they see the bad, but sometimes they foresee good news. Their powers are strongest at the height of war.

In Content:
Solon watched from a distant as Navy men, pirates and sailors alike, began boarding a ship to Scalus. This is my chance to reek hell on the one who killed my parents! Solon thought. As the ship began to set sail, Solon swiftly ran out towards the ship and grabbed out his grappling hook.
With careful aim he launched it. It hooked to the tail of the ship and Solon found himself being launched into the sea. Quickly reeling himself up, he took one look at the crowded ship and decided he would not be noticed. Stealthily, he slipped on board and hid in the cellar.
Name: Kai
Age: 17
Person: swordsmaster
Land: Scalus
Looks:Scar over right eye, he dresses all black.
Weapon:A falchion
Weapon 2:two daggers
(( Name: Jas
Age: 16
Person: Ninja
Land: Cresent Island
Personality: Independent, strong-willed, rebellious
Looks: Female... caramel complexion... dark brown shoulder length hair that's held up with a clip, with bangs that cover her right eye... dark brown eyes that seem to get darker when she's upset, or shine in the light when she's in a good mood... Usually wears a dark blue jumpsuit-like outfit, black boots that stop just below the knees, dark blue fingerless gloves, and light armors on her shoulders, shins, knees, and wrists, a mask over her nose and mouth...
Background: As a young girl, Jas began practicing Martial Arts. From the start she had shown signs of great skill, potential, and quickly moved her way up through the ranks. After her training was complete, she stayed around for a bit, assisting in the training of the younger ones. However, when an object of hers was stolen, she vowed to get it back no matter what. Jas now finds herself at Scalus...
Weapon: Two short swords
Weapon 2: A pair of nunchucks
Extra Info: Her temper is not something one wants to mess with... ))
Jas sharply turns a corner, running into an alley with soldiers in pursuit behind her. She spots several stacks of boxes, and jumps onto the lowest one, rebounding off it and landing on the next highest stack, repeating this process until she lands on the a roof. With the sound of guns firing, Jas doesn't stop running. She leaps across the gaps between buildings, heading for the docks, a light blue jewel on a gold chain in her hand. 'Almost there, just gotta-' but after the final leap, a loud 'BANG!' is heard, her right leg buckles, and she crashes to the ground. The jewel rolls inches away from Jas, but as she reaches for it a metal boot stomps on her wrist. The person it belongs to picks the object up and glares at Jas from over his shoulder.
"Kill her..." The figure walks away with the jewel, leaving the others chasing Jas to drag her away...
Name: Venice
Age: 17
Person: Thief
Land: Crescent Island
Looks: Pale skin with black hair and dark brown eyes. He wears tan tattered clothing.
Background: Venice was orphaned at a young age and was forced into squalor. He had to steal food to survive, and gradually became more adept. He's also somewhat skilled in martial arts, once taking down a small band of warriors without the use of a weapon. He is a brilliant tactician and manipulator
Weapon 1: A kunai knife
Weapon 2: A box of poison darts
Normally, with pirates, it takes a while to get to other lands. But the sailors knew how to use the Whirl Channel to get to other places very quickly. It felt as if they were going at light sound through the whirl pools, until suddenly they slowed down. Solon knew this was his chance to sneak out. Stealithy, he creeped out of the cellar and snuck to the front of the ship. Scalus was right in front of them. The sailors and pirates were getting little boats to head into the unchartered territory and create havoc.
Solon grabbed his grappling hook and threw it out to a pole with the Scalus flag, rippling out at visitors. It hooked on the top, and Solon jumped off the ship, flying through the air. As he landed on the top of the pole, he heard a loud BANG! Looking out, he saw a girl being attacked by Scalander soldiers. He recognized her from Crescent Island. They never talked, but he couldn't forget that face...
Taking out his sword, he slid down the pole and began running towards the sounds of gunshots. He was glad it was so close to the docks, he might be able to help her... He saw her jump out towards the docks, but then a shot hit, and he saw her fall to the ground again. I'm not going to be in time...
Venice was currently in Scalus sneaking a man's wallet out of his pocket when he heard a bang. Wondering what it was, he followed the noise. Seeing a girl being dragged away, he ducked behind a nearby crate. Finally, curiousity got the best of him and he ventured out to see what was going on.
Kai heard a noise behind his blacksmithry and ran out the ally to see a girl being dragged away
The girl was being dragged away, and Solon didn't think he could fight the men in armor who had guns. He hid behind a crate, trying to decide what to do when he realized he wasn't the only one behind there.
"What the hell," whispered Solon, looking at the figure hidden behind the crate. "Hey, you're another theif from Crescent Island! What are you doing here?"

"What the hell," whispered Solon, looking at the figure hidden behind the crate. "Hey, you're another theif from Crescent Island! What are you doing here?"
"Thieving of course," replied Venice. "Someone just walked away with a jewel."
Jas growls at the soldiers, her arms bound behind her back. She doesn't know where they're taking her, but she doesn't want to find out. Jas waits a little while, until the soldiers think she's calm, before executing her next escape plan.
'THUNK!' She kicked her left leg back hitting the soldier that's dragging her in the face. It wasn't the stronger of her legs, but it would have to do since her right leg is out of commission. When he let go of her, Jas grabs one of the swords held on her lower back, and draws it slightly. The other two soldiers turn around and lung at her to pin her down, but she rolls out the way and on her knees, allowing the exposed blade to cut the ropes around her wrists. "Heh," Jas glances back to see more soldiers running to stop the commotion. She draws her other sword and pulls herself up, preparing to fight. "You picked the wrong chick to piss off..."
Kai saw two theifs hiding behind a crate he drew his falchion, "Halt, who goes there"
Quote from: 20fan on December 16, 2007, 03:44:04 PM
Kai saw two theifs hiding behind a crate he drew his falchion, "Halt, who goes there"
"A person," replied Venice nonchalantly.
"Crap, Scalus men always ruin reunions," Solon said. He heard a commotion deeper in the alley. "You check on the girl, I'll take care of this guy."
"Oh so the theiving coward thinks he can kill me, Bwhaaaahhaah, your funny little man"
Jas twirls her swords, charges, and manages to slice two of her enemies' necks.
"Little!?" Solon unsheathed his sword, ready for a fight. "Bring it on!" Solon growled, aiming a shot at the enemy's neck. Then there were male screams coming from the alley.
"Wait, it sounds like your soldier friends are in trouble," smirked Solon.
Kai drew his falchion and sliced at Solon chest " You call those idiots my friends"
Solon jumped back, the swords curved tip ripped his shirt. The screams had distracted him for a second. "What, you don't like your fellow Scalanders?" joked Solon, aiming a nasty blow on his right shoulder.
Kai moved his shoulder away from the blow " well they are better than theiving Bastards " He said slashing at Solon's stomach
Venice obeys and stabs one of the girl's enemies.
Solon jumped back, shot his grappling hook onto the top of a building nearby and flew into the air, aiming a kick at Kai's head. "Atleast we don't kill for fun!" he shot back.
Jas stays on her toes despite the pain in the back of her right leg. 'Gotta keep moving so they can't aim' One of her blades deliver another fatal blow to another soldier. She takes a quick look past one of the enemy she's currently fighting and sees Venice. Jas considers telling him to stay out of her fight, but ignores him for the moment instead.
Venice took out three more soldiers with his knife. A soldier escaped his notice and aimed his gun. Venice managed to escape the bullet and stab the man. With that, he wiped the blade and turned to watch Solon and Kai duel for a moment. Then, he turned around and slit another soldier's throat.
Jas finishes off the last soldier in the area, and starts trying to get away before more show up.
With the lack of soldiers apparent, Venice watched the onfolding battle of Solon against Kai.
Solon was on the rooftop now, and he could see blood swelling from Jas's leg. Solon didn't have time for the battle with Kai anymore. He used his grappling hook on the building over by Jas and Venice and flew over.
"That wound could be infected," he said quickly. "You need to get to a hospital right away." But he knew no Scalander would give a Cruscian help, especially with the nearing war. Unless they could get help from an insider. That was it, their only hope was Kai.
Jas slides down against the wall of a building. "We're in Scalus," she says through gritted teeth. "Do you really think that anyone would help me?" She bites her lower lip, trying not to sound mean, or yell.
"Such riveting banter," muttered Venice sarcastically under his breath as he listened to the exchange.
"Look," Jas tries standing again. " I appreciate you guys' help, but getting involved with me probably isn't the smart thing to do," she says, injured leg shaking.
Solon was dying to ask why, but he wasn't sure if he should. He leaned against her, hoping to give her some support.
"There's a Cruscian Ship down by the docks. They are bound to have some medical assistance," Solon realized. "And I'm the king of stealth. We can get you there unharmed." I hope, Solon added silently.

"We?" asked Venice. "I only helped because that guy walkd away with a jewel. And generally, jewels are valuable."
"Maybe if you help, you'll get the chance to figure out where they are headed with that jewel," Solon replied. "I saw that figure taking it from the girl, she must know where the valuable came from. And that could mean more then just one jewel."
"Alright, fine," Jas sighs and decides to quit being stubborn for now and accept help. "Besides, that jewel is mines." She hangs onto Solon's shoulder slightly. "Who are you two anyways?"

"I'm a thief... You actually think I care who it belongs to?" Venice sighed.
"You'd care when my blade finds your throat," Jas says. "But by then it'd be too late." 'Especially if we're talking about the same jewel'
"Settle down. No one's killing anyone while I'm here. If we wait around any longer, the only thing missing will be your foot!" Solon said, turning to Jas.
"I know, I know," Jas shifts her weight onto her left leg. "Let's go before more soldiers come up."
Solon led Jas towards the docks. They were close already, and Solon could see the boat in the distance. It seemed the sailors and pirates were on the boat, still waiting on whether there would be peace or war with Scalus...
"We definitely can't swim there. I'll have to use my grappling hook. Hold on tight," commanded Solon. "Keep a look out," Solon added to Venice. "Do it for Crescent Island. We don't want Scalanders thinking or knowing we've been exploring their city. It'll only make them want war more."
Jas hangs onto Solon, deciding to just ask questions later, when they got onto the ship... since she didn't want unwanted people to listen in.
Venice rolled his eyes and followed after.
Solon swung his grappling hook, it gripped onto the front of the ship. If he remembered correctly, there was a hatchet to the cellar in the front, back, and middle of the boat. They would be able to sneak on without being noticed. Besides, pirates can get unruly about who is allowd on their ships... He jumped off the docks, letting his feet lightly skidding against the water. Then he climbed up the front of the boat and stashed himself and Jas into the dark cellar.
"Anyone got a lighter?" he mumbled, trying to get his eyes to adjust to the darkness.
Jas tosses Solon a lighter she stole from one of the soldiers she was fighting. She sits there, able to see in the dark just fine.
"Thanks..." Solon said. Deciding not to mention he had missed it and it had hit his head. With the lighter, Solon began looking for a First Aid kit. "Don't put any weight on that foot," advised Solon. He found the first aid kit and began searching through the contents.
"I'm not gonna do that, believe me," Jas says. She looks at her leg, wanting to move it, but knows better than to try.

Age: 32
Person: Pirate

Age: 17
Person: Swordmaster/Scholar
Land: Emitter

Looks: (http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/fire_emblem_sacred_stones_conceptart_RPnwF_thumb.jpg)
Background: Because he is believed to be a prodigy, Harver has always been kept in his room for a long time, forced to study many things, and hardly is ever able to get out of his room. He is only able to leave his room once a week, and when he does, he sneaks off to do some swordswork. He wants to see the world.
Weapon: Katana
Weapon 2: Gem of Emit (Time Gem) /Power of Emit
Extra info: Only wears his cap when going out. He tries his best to conceal his identity while he is out and about.
Jas lays her head back and closes her eyes, trying to focus on something other than the blood flowing from her leg.
Lanbar was sitting in his chair down in the cellar. In his hand was an empty bottle of rum. He had so much recently that he was barely concious, however, his head perked up from the entrance of Solon and the others. He stood up and walked toward them, staggaring to keep his balance since he was so drunk. "Hey. -hic-" He said to them.
"Um..." 'Shhiit... Jas looks at Lanbar, not knowing what to say, or wanting to start trouble at the moment.
"Do I -hic- know you guyssss" He said still swaying from side to side trying to grab onto something to keep his balance.
"You might..." Jas watches Lanbar carefully. After what's happened, she's not going to trust many people easily.
"Oh...okay then." He said. "I'll take that as a yesh...And I...I think I'll take a little...-hic-" He then proceeded to fall over on his face and it appeared that he had fallen asleep.
"That was weird..."
Lanbar then jumped back up suddenly and shouted, "What'd you ssssay about my motherssss." He made his hands into loose fists but was still stumbling around.
"Oh wow," Jas blinks a couple of times and tilts her head to the side a bit. Then out of nowhere, she sweeps at Lanbar's ankles with her uninjured leg in hopes of knocking him out for now.
Lanbar is tripped by Jas's leg movement but he lands on his hands and is now upside-down. "Sssso you think you can just catch me off -hic- guard? Well take thisss." He started kicking at Venice's head while still upside-down.

Venice was knocked down by the random attack. He got up and took out a velvet lined box. He opened it and took out a small dart, tiped with a sort of sedative poison. He had many different poisons in the box for multiple purposes, and the dart he took out was on its way to Lanbar's neck in a flash.
Although Lanbar's kick was successful, the attack made him fall flat on his back and the dart missed his neck just barely. He then proceeded to start snoring on the ground.
"Not what I meant to happen," Jas sighs and pokes at Lanbar's head.
Quote from: Sh0rTi on December 16, 2007, 08:26:04 PM
"Not what I meant to happen," Jas sighs and pokes at Lanbar's head.
"Do we really want him to wake up?"
Lanbar put his hand on the ground and pushed himself up. "Woah...that was one crazy trip." He said suddenly sober. He looked over at the table where he placed the rum. Oh whoops. It looks like I've been drinking. "Um...tell me something, guys...Have I been drinking lately?"

"Umm... A bit?"
"A bit!?" Jas sits up more. "He was drinkin' that stuff like it was water!"
"Oh...sorry then for anything that I did then." He said looking toward the ground shyly. "I'm sort of an...alcoholic...But enough about that, I haven't introduced myself properly. I'm Lanbar."
"Sarcasm, Jas. I'm Venice."
Jas sighs. "Just kinda jumpy I guess... But like he said, the name's Jas."
"Alright the- Hey! Wait a minute." He said all the sudden. "What are you doing on this ship? I don't remember seeing you on the trip here."
"I..." Jas pauses a bit. "No need to start goin' crazy..."
((g2g))
Kai had followed up until this point, He began to laugh because they didn't notice him yet.
"You were probably drunk," growled Solon, still searching through the First Aid Kit. He had begun to wash the wound on Jas's leg, when he heard someone laughing somewhere else in the cellar. "Are there any lights in here? I think we have an uninvited guest."
Who Says I was uninvited, Anyway I'm Kai and I'm not like other people from Scalus"
Solon sighed. Him again?
"You aren't like the others? Scalus is filled with military strict soldiers who wish to bring Crescent Island down because of our rich trade ports. They are killers. The whole lot of you!" roared Solon. But, he knew he was letting his feelings of one certain group from Scalus corrupt his mind. Secretly, he had always wanted to stop the constant fighting of the lands. But how? Giving this Scalander a chance could help repair broken bonds... Solon reasoned to himself.
"Can you prove you aren't like the others?"
"You question my personality? You all need better weapons and I'm a black smith and expert swords man you name the sword and I'll make it"
Solon turned the offer over in his mind. He would need as much weaponary as possible for when he could make the trek back to Scalus to avenge his parents... Jas would need to get back so she could find that jewel of hers. There was some yelling on the deck, and the ship began to move. Solon wondered if Scalus took Crescent Island's peace offering. They've been enemie's for years, so Solon doubted it.
"I want to try to bring peace back to Vulcum. Befriending a Scalander can not damage that hope."
"alright, I can relate to that dream, unfortunately it will not happen without elimnateing those who stand in our way"
Solon narrowed his eyes, thinking. "Who stands in our way?" Though Solon could name one person that stood in his way of accomplishing his goal...
"I'll leave that to you,, but if you betray me you can rest assured you will die"
The ship continued sailing at a slow speed, Solon wondered where the ship was headed next...
"I won't. But don't think just because I haven't been trained in some big shot military that I'm weak."

The ship continued sailing at a slow speed, Solon wondered where the ship was headed next...
"I won't. But don't think just because I haven't been trained in some big shot military that I'm weak."
" Still, your skill with the blade is not perfected, I will train you starting Now" he drew his falchion
Solon was surprised at this gesture. He drew his sword as well. He had the time to practice, didn't he? Jas's leg wasn't infected, and they were on a moving ship. Solon couldn't see what the others were doing, but he expected they were sleeping by the crates. So, he took the lighter and placed it by him and Kai, so he could see somewhat when facing him.
"Bring it on," grinned Solon.
"Alright, Don't hold back" Kai sliced at Solon's stomach
Solon back from the sword and aimed a jab, at first at Kai's neck, but brought it swoopin down towards his leg.
Kai Moved his leg back and kicked at Solon's stomach.
The swift kick surprised Solon, and it hit him square in the stomach. In surprise, he swung his sword around, going right for Kai's cheek.
The sword scraped Kai's cheek "Well one more scar is not a problem" he sliced at Solon's arm.
Solon whipped his arm out of the way and mimicked the move at Kai's sword arm.
Kai parried and sliced at Solon's Sword hand
The result was their blades locked together. Solon pushed against Kai's sword, hoping to over power him.
Kai Leaned to his side with all his might but could'nt over power Solon, He kicked at Solon's Stomach again.
This time when Kai kicked, Solon slid his blade down, aiming for Kai's leg.
Kai Put down his foot and used his sword to stop Solon's Blade from coming further and KIcked for the head
Solon grabbed Kai's foot with his free hand, pushing him back.
Kai spun in circles, he stuck out his sword making it dangerous to attack him.
Solon stepped back, took out his grappling hook, and threw it at Kai, hoping to stop him from spinning in circles.
The hook grabbed the sword, Kai stopped and was dizzy.
Solon pulled back on the grappling hook, brining the sword with him. Then, Solon threw Kai's sword back at his feet.
"Looks as if we are evenly matched."
"Not quite" He picked up his sword , jumped high and stabbed in front of Solon .
Jas had dozed off for a bit, but she's snapped back to reality by the sounds of metals clashing against eachother. 'What is that friggin' clinging noise!? Her eyes open about half way, and she can just barely see Solon and Kai fighting. 'Those two... "Hmmh," she sits up and watches.
"Now you see you would if just died if this wasn't practise, Let's go again and remeber never give your oppoent back his sword"
Solon stood wide eyed, thinking about that shot. That could have killed him... Kai was right, he needed to show less mercy to his opponents. Gripping his sword tighter, Solon slashed hard and fast at Kai's head.
Kai parried "some ones learning' He slashed at Solons chest.
Solon jumped back and did a jab at Kai's chest.
"Yeah well, I'm a fast learner."
Kai Blocked "Stop, I will now teach the girl"
Knowing that she's probably the only girl around, Jas says. "Hold on, what? How'd I get into this all of a sudden?" She asks, unsure of what was going on since she just woke up.
"I'm teaching you all how to use your swords better,your next"
Solon turned, not even noticing that Jas had woken up.
"Wait, she shouldn't be walking around with that injury on her foot," warned Solon. "How is that foot doing, by the way?"
"don't worry" Kai said I'm sure it's fine"
Jas starts standing up. "It's fine," she draws the two swords on her lower back. "I'm not gonna whimp out because of it."
"Alright" he said, Kai sliced at Jas's shirt.
Solon was concerned about her leg, but he stepped out her way and let her fight. She can decide for herself, Solon realized. Besides, I've gotta see this...
"Tch, pervert," Jas blocks with the blade in her right hand, and quickly kicks at Kai's shin with her front foot.
Kai dodged the kick and sliced at Jas' stomach.
OoC:I'm going to change my character's age to 17
Jas turns so her right foot is now behind the left, turned sideways somewhat. and blocks with her left blade. She slices at Kai's neck with her right blade while pushing his weapon sideways with the left.
Kai blocked and then sliced from Jas' chest down to her stomach
Jas slides back and slashes at the hand Kai is holding his weapon in with her left sword, and stabs forward with the other.
((20Fan's offline now. I don't know if you want to wait for him to respond or if you just want to end the fight.))
Lanbar was sitting in his chair, snoozing away while completely oblivious to the battle that was happeneing.
((Just when I pull out my own sword so I could get the moves right too. I'll end it so we can keep the RP going.))
Jas feels something pull where she was shot, then nothing. Her wound is now open and bleeding again, causing her to collapse. "Damnit!"
Lanbar was woken up by Jas falling to the ground. "Huh? Who? What? Did I miss anything?" He said.
Solon ran over with the aid kit.
"You shouldn't have put so much weight on it!" he scolded. "We need something to wrap it up in..." Solon took off his bandana then looked over at the just waking up pirate. "You're a pirate right? So, you must be good at knots. Can you tie her wound with this bandana?" He asked Lanbar.
"Oh sure." He said walking over there and tying the bandana onto Jas. "There. All better now." He said. "Wait...what are you guys doing on this ship anyways? I don't remember seeing you guys get on."
"You sure you weren't drunk?" Solon asked. "We were one of the last minute additions as well. So, you may have not noticed us..." Solon lied.
"That's how we found him too," Jas says. She sits there moving her toes around.
"Well...I find that I become sober fairly quickly" He said with a smile. "So what brings you guys to Scalus?"
Kai walks over to Solon and whispers to him "This guy seems like if we tell him why we are here he will call for help"
Solon nodded in agreement.
"We came for the same reason as everybody else. Trying to make alliances before an uneeded war breaks loose."
((Just to be clear, the ship has begun moving again. I was thinking it could go to the Land of Emit since there is a character who hasn't got a chance to participate who lives there. This ships job is to try to make peace/alliances with the other lands in case of a war.))
"Ah...I see." As he said this, the ship started to sway. "Huh? Have we started moving again? I thought that the ship was just going to stop at Scalus..."
((Thanks, Birdie!))
Harver slowly opened his eyes, and looked out his window. Ergh... one day a week I get to leave this crummy place and I sleep in on it? He yawned, got dressed, put on his traditional cap, and walked out of his house.
"anyway, we'll finish that spar when your foot is better" he drew his falchion and then seathed it.
"We started moving again," replied Solon. "I don't think Scalus agreed to make an alliance with us."
Suddenly, the boat began to shoot by at top speed. "We've hit the Whirl Channel!" gasped Solon. That meant they'd be at the next place in matter of seconds. The boat finally stopped, and Solon felt seasick.
"I'll check out where we've landed," offered Solon. He climbed up the ladder and opened the hatchet to look out at the view. There was the flag of education waving in the distance. We're at the Land of Emit.
Lanbar quickly pulled Solon back down. "Hey! You said that not many people saw you get on right?" He said. "The captain was already up in his room so he may think that you snuck on and he don't take too kindly to those who try to hitch a ride. Trust me, I know."
"Emit, That place is crazy four time zones, Christ"
"Yeah," Jas nods and places her swords back into their sheathes. She stands back up when she regains some of the feeling in her leg. "Well, we gotta go somehow, don't we?"
Kai stood up and waited to leave the ship

"He doesn't? I was afraid of that... Let's just sneak off the ship as quickly as we can, then." Solon climbed out of the hatchet, ready to get to the land by using his grappling hook.
But maybe we'd look more like the crew if we went by the small boats like everyone else?
Kai quickly followed Solon " Hurry up and make your decision "
Jas follows after them. "Can't waste much more time ya know..."
"well here goes nothing " Kai ran and jumped off the ship onto land.
((I g2g but I'll brb))
Solon followed Kai, hoping no one noticed them sneaking off. It seemed everyone else was too busy choosing messengers to go out.
Kai waited for Jas to follow them.
Harver walked down the dockside, when he noticed the interesting vessel. Hmm... That's odd.
Kai saw a figure approaching, he turned to Solon and said "do you think he is going to attack us?"
"I doubt someone from the Land of Emit would attack us. They are mostly scholars and wise old men," reasoned Solon. "But let's check him out."
Lanbar got off the boat and followed where Solon and Kai went. Might as well follow them, I've got nothing better to do.
Harver cursed himself for not bringing his sword to the docks, in case trouble appeared. He could only continue walking forward.
Solon acknowledged Lanbar with a nod and then walked up to the Emitter.
"Hello, this is your homeland, correct? My friends and I are in need of a guide."
((siv))
Jas had only been walking with the others. She hasn't said anything so far.
"So do you think you'll be okay walking on your leg?" Lanbar said to Jas to break her silence.
"so are you coming or not' Kai did'nt know why they need a Scholar to help them
"I'll be fine for now," Jas says nodding. She continues watching the others.
Solon shrugged, it seemed the Emitter wouldn't reply, so Solon just brushed by him.
"I bet people like these are rich with plenty of valuables," Solon thought out loud. He was already planning his next mission to steal. Solon took a pair of shades out of his pocket and put them on to conceal his ice blue eyes. "Well, lets explore this place!"
"Okay." He said to Jas. He then started following Solon. "Hey, do you know any good bars around this place?" He asked Solon.
"Exploring... Cool with me for now," Jas shrugs, stretching her arms out and adjusting the clip in her hair. She considers taking the mask covering the lower half of her face, but doesn't.
"No," Solon answered Lanbar. "I've never had the money to travel from Crescent Island before. But, that building right there looks like a place to wind down in." He pointed at a small shack, dirty compared to the other upper class Emit homes. "It looks like a bar to me." Without waiting for any answers, Solon headed inside.
Lanbar followed and took a seat at the bar.
Jas considers following them into the bar, but shakes her head. "Nah, they don't want me drunk," so she goes off elsewhere.
Solon noticed that Jas didn't follow them in, but the smell of different beverages tempted Solon further in. He sat down next to Lanbar and looked over the drinks.
"Hey, bartender, give me the hardest stuff you got." Lanbar said confidently.
"Are you sure about that." Said the bartender.
"Yeah I am. Just give me the drink."
After a while, Jas finds herself in a tree, sitting up high along one of the branches.
Ooc// Is it too late to join?
Solon laughed at Lanbar's confidence. Solon just ordered a cold glass of beer on tap.
((No, go right ahead.))
The bartender handed Lanbar the drink and Lanbar took a nice big gulp of it. "...You know...this stuff isn't really that str-" Suddenly, Lanbar felt as if the whole world was spinning around him. Once he regained some composure, he decided to take another gulp. "Wow! -hic- Thissss sssstuff is -hic- great!"
Jas eventually gets bored sitting in the tree by herself, so she jumps down, and heads for the bar to find the others.
Name: Calum "Nimbus" Firmort.
Person: Swordsman
Age: 25.
Land: Scalus
Personality: Laid back. Hates the strict rules of the land.
Looks: Red hair, and hazel eyes. He is wiry, but tough. Green and red shirt and black jeans. He has a small breastplate.
Background: He was an orphaned boy who was washed up on the island. He was brought up with the strict rules, and eventually grew to hate them. He is excellent with the sword, and has been training for along time.
Weapon: He carries a double edged sword with a blue pommel stone. The hilt is gold.
Weapon 2: A pistol for when he needs it.
Extra info: Spends most of his free time looking at the sky. Which earned him the nickname "Nimbus".
Ooc// Summary of what's happened please?
((The place you are talking about is Scalus ;).
Summary: Solon, from Crescent Island, stowed away on a ship and went to Scalus in search of his parent's killer, but realized he should be trying to keep the lands from fighting rather then trying to reek havoc in Scalus. He found a fellow theif, Venice, from Crescent Island in Scalus, and found another Cruscian name Jas being attacked by a Scalus figure. They stole a jewel from her, and shot her leg. The group then went back to the ship to try and heal Jas's leg, where someone from Scalus, Kai, followed them onboard.
Kai helped teach the group better moves, and they met a drunken pirate named Lanbar. Then the ship left to the Land of Emit, where the group went to a bar to get some drinks.
The ship they are traveling on is from Crescen Island and is trying to restore peace to the lands.))
Ooc// Thanks man. ;D
Ic// Nimbus was getting up from bed. At the heavily enforced hour of 5:00 AM. Though he was used to this.
He got up and got breakfast. He walked out to enjoy the limited time he had on his first break.
Then he suddenly thought. No one said he had to stay here. He decided he would sneak away.
He went to the docks and snuck into a ship. He went to the storage room where he hid behind a crate.
He overheard a passing man say that the next destanation was the island of Emit.
((No prob. And good way to get to where everyone else is :D))
Solon took a long gulp of his beer and watched with amusement as Lanbar got even more drunk. He couldn't remember a time where he actually bought a drink and sat with friends. Sure, he used to be the leader of a theiving group, but they weren't friends and they never paid for a thing. It felt... Different.
Lanbar was barely sitting in his seat, let alone stable. He took a final gulp of the heavy drink. "That -hic- sssssure isss one he-hic- heck of a drink."
The ship got underway. They started moving quickly. It was bumpy, and rough, but he was used to the feeling when he had to endure takles from opponents in training. He remembers the big bruise he got on his leg from that bout.
((You do realize your char has no age, right?))
After getting inside the bar, and hearing Lanbar, Jas makes her way past crowds of people and sits by Solon. "Don't think it was smart to let him have a drink..."

After getting inside the bar, and hearing Lanbar, Jas makes her way past crowds of people and sits by Solon. "Don't think it was smart to let him have a drink..."
Ooc// I fixed it.
Ic// He looked at the crate behind him. It's contents read: Scrolls.
He wondered what they said. Though he probably couldn't read em' anyway. Since he never really had time to read.
"What did you -hic sssssay about my -hic- face!" He suddenly said turning toward Solon. "If it'ssss a -hic- fight you want, then -hic- it'ssss a fight you get!" He grasped his hands into loose fists and got into a 'fighting' position but continued to stumble from side to side trying to keep his nonexistent balance.
Jas sighs and shakes her head, tempted to knock Lanbar over to shut him up.
Ooc//I have to go. Bye!
"Hey, you're back," greeted Solon. He watched as Lanbar was getting ready for a fight. He rolled his eyes and got up from the table. "Although this was entertaining, I think we should bring him outside. We don't want to start a scene in this bar."
(OoC: Bye)
"Oh, sssso you wanna take -hic- this outsssside, eh?" He said. "Well, -hic- let'ssss go!" He said as he stumbled his way out of the bar.
((bye))
"Especially if we want peace," Jas turns around to face them; she was about to order herself a drink. "And there he goes again," she watches Lanbar stumble out the door.
"Come on, we need to keep track of him." Solon followed Lanbar out of the pub, hoping to keep him out of trouble with any of the Emitters. Last thing they needed was to give the people a reason to hate Cruscians...
"Ssssso, are you ready -hic- for a fight now?" He said at Solon still barely standing up.
"You can barely stand up," commented Solon. "I don't want to hurt you."
Jas goes after the two. "Just sit down already..."
Lanbar then lunged at Solon and threw a wild punch at his stomach.
Harver - who had been following them, in case they were up to no good - pushed Solon out of the way before he got hit. "Woah! No need to fight." Harver felt confident now that he had his katana at his side.
"And I knew reasoning wouldn't work, how?" Jas pulls out a small marble-looking object. "Better this than actually hurting him. Get back you two!" She throws the marble down at Lanbar's feet, causing a sleeping gas to explode from within.
Since the punch missed Solon, he fell to the ground with his body perpendicular with Harver's. He just layed there not moving at all. Then the sleeping gas covered over him which...really didn't seem to do anything since he already wasn't moving.
Harver stepped back, his sleeve covering his mouth. He then gazed at the effect it had on Lanbar. "Wow, never seen anything like that before." He turned to Jas. "Say, how were you able to trap that large amount of gas inside such a small object?"
Solon fell to the ground, rolled around, and jumped back up. "Thanks... I wasn't about to fight him," Solon said to the guy who had pushed him out of the way.
"No problem." He said with a smile to Solon. "I've noticed that you're not around here. Mind explaining your business?"
"It's the properties of the gas that allow it to become compact like that," Jas says. "Maybe he'll stay out until he sobers up..."
Lanbar then tried to push himsel up but he was so drunk that he just fell right back onto the ground and appeared to be snoring.
"I'm trying to bring peace to the lands," Solon explained. "We're from Crescent Island. Jas is trying to get back a stolen jewel, I'm still waiting the story for that, and that drunk is part of the crew that brought us here, looking for an alliance before a war breaks out."
Lanbar got up but this time, he did it with perfect balance. "Ugh...My head...So, did we find a bar nearby?" He asked everyone. "And who's that guy?" He pointed at Harver.
"The jewel," Jas whispers to herself. 'If we can stay in one spot for maybe a night, and not have any trouble, maybe I'll tell them.' she looks at Lanbar. "We found a bar, that's why your head hurts..."
"Oh...okay then." He said. "I didn't do anything TOO bad while drunk...right?"
"If swinging at Solon doesn't count as bad," Jas starts. "Then no."
"Oh...Well then I suppose I owe you an apology." He said to Solon.
"Hey, I think trying to attack me in anyway is bad," Solon joked. "No problem, Lanbar." Then, Solon yawned.
"It's even later then it should be, because of the time zones," commented Solon, looking at the black skies. "Plus, I'm tired." Solon stretched and yawned again. Solon didn't want to admit that he got sea sick on the boat, so he wanted to get them to find a hotel without admitting that. "Should we find a hotel or something around here? Hey, do you know where we can find somewhere to sleep," he asked Haver.
"Alright then." He said. "You sure you don't want to stay on the ship? I'm sure that the captian is somewhere else right now." He said.
(( I have to go now, bye.))
((Bye Hobo))
"Sneaking on the ship is probably not worth the trouble," Jas says. "But thanks." If she had to, she'd pay for her own rooming.
Solon thought of the rocking boat, and shook his head. "Nah, I'd like to explore this land and see what it is like to sleep under the Emit stars." Solon looked into the distance and saw a building called 'The Time Zone Inn'. "I guess we could check in there," he nodded towards the hotel. "Er, I guess we should get seperate room," Solon said, ackwardly, wondering if he would have enough money to pay for one. That'd be embarrassing if I didn't... He thought, headed towards the classy hotel.
((I've gotta go, too. See y'all later))
"Yeah, don't exactly need people jumping to conclusions," Jas steps inside the hotel, not caring what others think of her.
((All alone. Bye. X.x))
"Wait!" Harver called out, chasing the group. "What do you mean about a war? Everything seems peaceful here."
"Harver... Do you live under a rock?"
((Excuse me, but how do you know his name? Please edit your post. I haven't given my name out yet.))
"Sorry, but just because I'm an advanced scholar doesn't mean I know everything about the world, thank you very much." Harver sighed. "I've heard nothing about a war... Perhaps it's because I'm always stuck in my room..."
Ooc/ Oh. Sorry. I am afraid the modify button is missing when I post from a cell phone, but I will edit at the earliest opportunity.

((Thanks. He'll introduce himself later on. It's in his character to be oblivious to his surroundings. xD))
Ooc/ Ah. That could account for much. But it is an excellent personality for a scholar.
Kai waited for the group's decision although he was'nt very patient
Ic// Nimbus fell asleep. The constant rocking made him tired.
Jas goes up to the person in charge of issuing rooms to figure out how much one would cost.
Kai grew impatient and went into the hotel as well.
Solon hadn't had enough money to get a hotel room. Angry, he stormed out of the hotel and scaled the building with his trusty grappling hook. With each window he passed, he glared inside to see if it was vacant. On the rooftop room he found a completely empty room. No one could be out and about this late Solon thought, so he decided this would be the room to stay at. He jumped onto the roof and began carving a small hole he could slip through in the ground with his sword.
Once Solon made a big enough hole, he took off the chunk of the building and slipped inside. "This'll have to do," smirked Solon, looking at the suite he "purchased".
(OoC: Mind if I make it the next morning or do you guys still have something you want to do before the next day?)
OoC:Sure that's fine with me
((I was gonna have that jewel ordeal explained somehow))
Jas had changed out of her gear, and threw a tank top and some shorts on. She lays around looking at the ceiling. 'Gonna have to tell them somehow since we're all stuck together...' "Wait, where is everyone else?" She asks herself. Jas hadn't seen any of the others go by after she bought her room. "Probably ditched me..."
Kai was in the room next door, he got up, went outside of his room on knocked on her door.
((Alright, you can try and explain that first))
Solon took off his black jeans, wearing plain black boxers underneath. He then threw his black beater off, which had a rip in the middle from his first fight with Kai. "I gotta get that shirt fixed," muttered Solon, sitting on the fluffy King sized bed. "And wow, this really is a suite!"
Jas' eyes snap open before she could fall asleep. After pretty much rolling out the bed, she takes a few steps towards the door, and puts a hand on it. "Who is it?"
Solon was suddenly wide awake. He had never been inside such a rich looking place. I should invite everyone up to my suite! Solon thought, wanted to show it off. He had never owned something so valuable. He figured they might want to rest, but he decided to give it a shot. He had watched Jas get her room, so he knew her number. But, he hadn't seen what rooms the others had got. So, he decided to call Jas. She'll probably know where everyone else is, anyway.
He picked up the phone and dialed Jas's room.
"It's Kai"
((How would he know her room number if he left?))
Jas opens the door a few seconds later. "Yeah?"
((He went in to find out the cost at the same time as you, then left after you got your room because it was too expensive.))
"I just wanted make sure that you got to your room okay"
((Oohh, okay))
"Yeah, got here just fine thanks," Jas says. She looks back at the ringing telephone. "Hmm? Hold on..." she goes further inside the room to answer it. "Hello...?"
Ooc// Are you still on the ship?
Ic// The ship Nimbus was on eventually stopped. When he woke up he decided to see why the did. Crawling over to a porthole on the other side of the room, he looked out. The were at a dock on the Island of Emit. He opened the porthole, It was big enough for him to squeeze through. With his sword pointed forward, he slid out of the window and swam towards shore.
"Hey, it's Solon!" greeted Solon, happier then ever. "You've got to get everyone and check out my room, it's the best!" He had never had something to share before, any gold that was stolen in his theiving clan would inadvertenly go to him. "I figured you'd know where everyone else was, since they followed you to their rooms. Mines on the top floor, at the end of the hall. Seriously though, I think there's a fountain in my bathroom!" Solon finished. Man, these Emitter's sure know how to live!
((No, we found a hotel on the Land of Emit.))
Kai walked in and sat down on a chair waiting to hear who called.
ooc// Thanks.
Ic// He got to the beach and decided to look around for a place to stay. He was looking at all of the buldings and scenery around him when a particularly beautiful hotel came up before him. He looked at his money, he had plenty. Probably enough for him to stay temporarily. He did after all want to explore some more.
"Wait a minute, I thought you said you had no money," Jas questions him. "Now all of a sudden, there's a fountain in the bathroom? Anyways, Kai's here now, but I haven't seen the others. Guess we can go over there."
Solon chose not to answer any questions. "Great! Lanbar's probably sleeping drunk in his room, and Venice could be out stealing or sleeping. C'mon over." And with that, Solon hung up the phone and started jumping on his giant fluffly bed. "I never knew they made beds this big!"
He had only been living there for a few minutes, and it already looked like a bachelor's pad, with his clothes thrown to the floor and his bed looking like it had been attacked by a pack of stampeding rhinos.
Kai heard her side of the conversation and stood up "So where to"

Lanbar was walking around town even though it was extremely late. It seemed that he just was having trouble sleeping that night. He saw Nimbus and started to wonder why someone was up so late. "Hey...you." He said to Nimbus.
"Solon apparently got in," Jas says leaving it at that. "He wants us to go over there."
"Alright let's go" He opened the door "Ladies first"
Jas nods and goes out the door, making sure to close it after Kai exits. "Third floor, end of hallway..." She starts heading in that direction.
Kai followed silently He wondered about something then quickly forgot it.
Solon opened the door to his room half way so that everyone would be able to spot it quicker. He knew there was something he was forgetting to do... But he just couldn't think of it. The excitement of how quickly his life changed was pounding through his head more then ever.
Jas gets to "Solon's" room, and knocks softly, taking a peek inside. "Geeze, messier than my room..."
Lanbar just shrugged after waiting for a response and entered the hotel. You know, I think I'll go to the roof to get a better veiw of everything. He started walking up the stairs to get to the roof.

((Heh, he should get to the roof and fall down the hole I made and land on top of one of us XD))
"Hey, welcome to my Bachelor pad!" Solon greeted with a cheer. "Have some of this alchohol I found in the fridge."
I won't have to pay for it. They don't even know I'm here. Solon thought with a grin.
"And Put some Pants on for Christ's sake'
((that's a good idea :P))
Lanbar stood on the roof admiring the landscape. "Wow...I haven't ever seen much of other lands. This place looks awesome." He walked around looking as far as he could see. Then he stopped for a moment and took a whiff of the air. "...Hm...I think I smell alcohol...but what would anybody be doing with that up here?" He walked around trying to find the source.
Oh, that's what I forgot to do! Solon thought, going pink in the cheeks. "Er, if anyone can find my jeans... Or my shirt..." Solon trailed off, trying to remember where he threw them. He had been so tired when he had "changed" then that part of his memory was fuzzy.
Jas grabs a cup and pours some Arbor Mist (alcoholic beverage) for herself. "I saw nothing, don't worry," and drinks it.
((brb going driving))
Kai poured himself some wine, and stood next to Jas.
Nimbus thought he heard something. But he shrugged, and went inside to check in.
"Hm...it has to be somewhe-" before he could finish his sentence, he tripped and his head and shoulders fell into a hole in the roof but the hole was too small to let the rest of him fit through. Why the heck was there a hole in the roof and WHY THE HECK AM I STARING AT A SOLON WITHOUT HIS PANTS OR SHIRT! "Hey! Help! I'm stuck!"
After he was done, he went to his room. It was nicely decorated, and one comfy bed was in the middle.
He heard someone shouting for help.
He went to investigate. He heard the noise coming from behind a door. He didn't want to intrude.......
He would wait for another cry for help just to make sure it was needed.
"Zanbar What the hell where you doing the roof?"
"Well I just wanted to look at the surrounding scenery and then BAM! I'm stuck in a hole in the roof. And get me out, I can feel my blood going to my head." He said.
"Er... Oh my god, Lanbar! You broke a hole in the roof! What do you think your doing! Oh, and while your up there, can you see some jeans or a black shirt by any chance?" Solon yelled up at Lanbar.
"I didn't break it! It was already there! I can't break a hole with my head! Oh and by the way, your clothes are over there by the bed." He said.
Kai drew his falchion and leaped in the air, he cut the hole bigger so lanbar could get to the ground.
Soon, it was big enough for Lanbar to slip out of. He fell on top of Solon, and with both of their weight crashing down, they broke the chair that Solon had been moving over to help cut a hole.
"Ow...that hurt. Maybe you could have given a bit more warning before doing that." He said rubbing his head.
"you sure as hell dropped in" Kai joked
"Ha, ha," Solon said dryly, pushing Lanbar off of him. "Next time, you're gonna be the one Lanbar's falling on top of."
"I guess my help isn't needed after all..." He said to himself.

"Ha, ha," Solon said dryly, pushing Lanbar off of him. "Next time, you're gonna be the one Lanbar's falling on top of."
"I highly doubt it" he laughed as he seathed his falchion
"Wait, I hear talking from the door," whispered Solon. He creeped up to it and peered through the peep hole. Doesn't look like a Hotel Manager, Solon thought, relieved.
"Hello, someone out there?" He called.
He heard a voice. "Uh...I heard someone yell for help...Is he alright?"
"No we killed him your next"
Ooc/ Can anyone summarize please?
"Uh huh......Umm....yeah. I'll just go now..." He walked away.
Kai Laughed maniacly to futher the lie he had told.

Kai Laughed maniacly to futher the lie he had told.
Lanbar smacked him in the back of the head. "Oh quit your lying. Nobody's been killed! Do you WANT us to be kicked out of the hotel?"
He heard another guy say the truth. He stopped. And waited to see if anyone would come to apolagize(spelled corrdctly?)
"Don't you smack me in the back of the head drunk"Kai lifted Lanbar in the air.

((Not sure where you last came in exactly... But we got to the Land of Emit and now we are kind of... Partying in a Hotel. 'We' being me, Jas, Kai, and Lanbar. Two new guys have shown themeselves: Harver and Nimbus. Though we haven't officially met.))
Solon shook his head at Kai. "You know, you're a real nice guy," Solon said sarcastically to Kai. Solon opened the door. "Ignore the fact that I don't have a shirt on. You want to join our party in my awesome suite?"
"Umm...Sure, just keep that maniac away from me." He said.
"Hey! Drunk? I'm not drunk...NOW!...And put me down! I want a drink." He said flailing around.
Solon turned around to see Kai lifting Lanbar in the air. "Kai, put Lanbar down!" He rushed over, trying to pry the two apart.
I'm not a maniac" he said still holding Lanbar in the air. with his free hand he smacked solon away
"Yeah uh huh sure.." He said as he walked in. A very strange scene greeted his eyes.
Lanbar threw a punch at Kai's face as to catch him off guard and make him let go.
((Don't you think you're sort of overpowering just a little bit. ::)))
((My character is strong but only when he's angry like right now))
Kai saw the punch coming and caught it, and twisted Lanbar's arm
He laughed as lanbar punched Kai.
Ooc// My grandma's poodle is named Kai. :P
((Heh, the toughest character of the bunch is named after a poodle!))
Solon took out his sword. "Two can play at this game," he grumbled, slashing at Kai's feet, hoping he would lose footing.
"Owowowowowwow! Let go! That hurts!" He said trying to get Kai's grip off his hand.
It was Solon's sword that caused Kai to fall, Lanbar fell to ground and Kai was out cold.
Nimbus was cracking up. It was funny for some reason.
Ooc/ So basically, everyone is being an idiot.
Ic/ Venice walked out of his room and paused at the rather strange sight that greeted him.
The laughing caused Kai to rise up again and he was angry at Nimbus.
He Began to choke nimbus.
"Lanbar, you take that side, I'll take this side. Strike a hard blow to his head when I say 'Now."
Solon got the hilt of his sword ready, knowing that hitting people on the head with it could knock them out for a long enough time.

It was Solon's sword that caused Kai to fall, Lanbar fell to ground and Kai was out cold.
When Lanbar fell, he landed on top of Kai. "Well, I guess you were right about saying that I'd fall on him, Solon." He said getting up and gave off a slight chuckle. He then saw Kai choking Nimus and did what Solon said.
"I can predict the future," Solon joked within all the seriousness. He raised his hilt, and aimed a strike at Kai's head.
At this point, Venice was watching, a laugh barely restrained.
Nimbus also took his sword and hit him with the hilt.
Lanbar saw this and grabbed his empty beer bottle that he had kept with him. I knew this would come in handy.
((And Fell, we haven't actually made a hit at him yet. >_>; ))
Solon looked over at Venice. "Hey, you found your way in! Great, I thought you might be sleepin or something," he greeted Venice.
Kai was out cold again, it's seems that his anger gets the best of him.
Ooc// Oh, alright. BUT I'M GETTING STRANGLED!!!!
((Oh well...he's out cold again anyways.)) "Oh...well...I'm going for a drink." He said walking into the kitchen.
"You guys are a mess," Jas sighs and leans against a wall, still sippin' her drink.
((siv needed to go driving))
Kai woke up and hour later and said "Sorry for any damages caused when Lanbar made me angry"
Nimbus got up, and walked to the kitchen to get something to drink. He got some water.
He drew his falchion "anyone up for a spar?"
"No thanks!" He said from the kitchen.
Solon looked over at her with a grin. "Yes and you have been the remedy to our problems," he joked, pretending to worship her. "Thanks so much for fixing everything for us."
*After Kai wakes up*
"Hey, I never got to find out about that jewel of yours. I think it's time for a bed time story," Solon said, looking over at Jas.
Venice sighed at the stupidity of the others.
Lanbar stumbled out of the kitchen all drunk and replied to Kai, "Yeah! I -hic- wanna fight!"
"Oh no," groaned Solon. He rolled his eyes and sat down. "Hey, kid, er... I forgot your name... If you found the fight with Kai and Lanbar funny before, watch it while Lanbar's drunk!"
"Okay draw your blade" Kai slashed at Lanbar
"I don't -hic- need no sssstinkin' blade -hic- to fight you!" He said putting up his fists up still stumbling from side to side.
"Kai, I want to see a fight with you guys, fist to fist," Solon added after Lanbar's remark.
"Umm, alright." Nimbus said.
"Just call me Nimbus." He said.
"Well," Jas started to speak, but got interrupted by the brewing fight. "Damnit! Can't ya'll stay peaceful for a minute!?"
"Alright, I'll remember your name from now on," Solon replied. "And I'll pay you good money to shut everyone else up."
Jas mumbles something and takes another drink. She sits in a chair that wasn't destroyed, and waits.
"IF YOU DON'T STOP FIGHTING I'LL SHOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE TRAINED WHERE I CAME FROM!!!"
He yelled.
Ooc// I HAVE TO GOOO!!! :(
Ic/ Venice sighed again, wishing he could get a boat home and live quietly.
((Bye))
Jas looks up at Nimbus. 'At least I don't have to do the yelling...'
((See yeah, FW))
"Thanks for the help," Solon thanked, rubbing his ears from all the yelling. "Why don't you start the story. Their loss if they miss out." Solon's eyes were pleading. He hadn't heard interesting news in years.
"Okay," Jas sets the almost empty glass down. "Well, that jewel... yeah, it belongs to me. It's the family's most prized possession," she sighs and finishes the drink, trying to come up with the right words.
Venice looked up at the word jewel. He listened for any information that could help him steal it.
"How'd those soldiers know you had it? And why would they want it?" Solon shot questions at Jas.
"And how much would it be worth?"
"Word goes around," Jas says. "It was passed to my family a loong time ago, rumored to have an ancient power. We were supposed to... protect it. Even though that's probably just a myth now. it's still worth so much. I don't want the jewel sold off, and I'm not letting anyone get hold of it. It means more than what words can explain to me. They took it for either money or power basicly..."
Not to destroy our world? Solon wondered.
"We need to get you that jewel back then. Who knows where they have taken it by now!" Solon exclaimed.
"Ah... Perhaps we should assist in the recovery of this jewel," said Venice with a suspicious glint in his eye.
"Because if it does hold some sort of powers," Jas stands up. "We're screwed. You guys can come with, but... I'm getting the jewel myself," she doesn't fully trust anyone yet.
"I don't blame you for wanting to get the jewel yourself, but we should atleast gather as many people as we can to help infiltrate Scalus. There will be more guards with guns, and some of us know how to steal and lie better then others," Solon reminded, giving himself a proud tap and glancing at Venice.
Venice nodded, trying to estimate the worth of such a jewel.
Since Lanbar hadn't drank too much alcohol, he quickly became sober enough to pay attention to the conversation. Hm...a highly pricey jewel that could supposedly have powers...In the land of Scalus...That's not a very good combination. "Why would we need more people to infiltrate Scalus? Wouldn't that just slow us down and make us a larger, and easier, group to find?" He said.
"Well, we wouldn't need a huge group exactly," Jas thinks for a moment. "But we do need an amount of people that would allow us to split up and spread."
"What we need right now," He started, "Is a sailor to get us around. Sure, I know that I can sail a ship but those currents that a sailor can use is a huge advantage to us." He paused and thought for a moment and spoke again. "Of course we need a ship. I DO have one...But I left it at Crescent Island" He looked down at the ground as he said this.
After he was done, he heard them talking about a jewl. And that they had to infiltrate Scalus.
"Hey, I came from there. Maybe I can help?" He offered.
"Oh, that's good." He said. "Do you know anything that may be really important to finding this jewel?"
"Well, I know that there was one place we weren't allowed to enter. It was a cellar inside the palace. they said it lead into a deep and large labyrinth where you would be forever lost. Well, I suspect that there must be something of value in there. Why would they need a labyrinth? Maybe your jewel is there." He suggested.
Venice listened intently to the conversation.
"I doubt that the jewel would be there." He said as he started to pace the room. "Unless...It does have real powers that are of use to them. And I bet that wouldn't be the only thing down there. There'd probably be a lot of valuable items down there." He stopped pacing for a moment. "But the question now is how to even get into a heavily guarded place that the palace is."
"Maybe they hadn't noticed I was gone. I could get you in somehow. I was actually, *cough* a guard there for awhile."
Ooc// GAH GAHAHGHAHAGHAG GOTTA GO! :( :( :( :( :( :(
"Well...If we were lucky...I guess."
Ooc// GAGAGAGAGAGAGAGA GASP! Bye.
Kai just stood there listing to the conversation.
Jas listens to the information, then stares out the window, thinking. 'It's just planning for yourselves though, isn't it?' She folds her arms as her gaze gets more intense.
"Oh yeah, what about her?" He said pointing towards Jas.
Kai was unsure what they were planing.
"I mean, they would know her already. And grow suspicious. What do we do about her?"
"First thing's first," Solon stated, ready to announce his own plan. "We need to steal a ship. Now, Venice and I are the theives around here, so that should be our task. We should steal the ship that is trying to make peace, because Scalus has seen the ship already and will know its cause. That way, they will be less on gaurd."
"That makes sense." He said. "What next?"
"Well, first thing first is we need to find a sailor. If we can't then we'll be forced to take the long trip to Scalus, which could be weeks depending on the weather. Also, we have you and Kai from Scalus, right? So, while on the ship you guys should map out the area of Scalus so none of us get lost while we're there. Mostly the castle that we're infiltrating. Jas will need to be disguised. While we're here maybe we could buy her something to make her look less like herself, too...
"And then, of course, there is what we do once we get there. Well, we'll need two groups. One distraction and one infiltration. The distraction should fairly far from the castle, since we don't want suspicion. Group I (infilitration group) should be consisting of Crescent Islanders and one Scalus. The Scalus member should be close to the other Castle members, because you're going to be the one getting us inside to "talk with the superiors about peace".
"The distraction should consist of the other Scalander and foreigners who Scalus has not seen before. They'll be more uptight about faces they aren't friendly with..." Solon finished. "Well, there's more, but right now we need to split into our groups. So, everyone from Crescent Island should go on the Infilitrating team since the boat we are using is a Crescent Island boat. And, Nimbus and Kai will need to decide who knows more about the castle. The other one will need to know more about the military and solider part of the system. I'll explain more once we have our groups..." Solon finished, taking a deep breath.
"Not tryin' to sound like a 'itch," Jas looks back at Solon. "But who died and made you boss of everything?" She hates just following after others... even though it seems like that's what she's been doing lately.
Solon didn't even realize that was what he had been doing. He was just so used to ordering people around when going into a big stealing mission. It brought him back to his days in his Theiving clan...
"It's just... Well, I'm used to it,"" sighed Solon. "Sorry, but it seems like I'm the only one with a real idea so far. And, it could work."
"Hmm...It could work. Kai, have you ever been in the castle before?"
"Yes, it could," Jas says. "Just tellin' ya I don't just jump when someone says 'jump'."
"Wait, maybe we should fisrt go to Crescent Island first." He said. "I have my ship there and it has cannons just in case of any attack. And I'm pretty sure we could find a sailor easier there."
"Sounds reasonable, but it WILL take longer...What do you say Solon?"
"We could go to Crescent Island to find a sailor, but we should use the Peace Making ship, since Scalus will know the reason we are coming if it sees that ship. Besides, you could probably get it easily for us since you work on it," Solon replied. "It'll be easier to dock in Scalus with that ship, and getting inside is our main goal."
"Okay."
"Alright then." He said. "So let's find us our sailor now."
((Hey, can anybody have second characters?))
((Just one second character.))
"Yeah... Maybe we should make an ad or something," Solon thought out loud.
((just so you know, it's spelt with one "d" not two :P))
"An ad?" He said with a laugh. "And waht's it going to say? 'Going to steal ship to sail to Scalus, in need sailor.'" He said jokingly.
((Oh yeah, my bad XP))
Solon laughed, then sighed, "Yeah, you're right... What should we do, then?"
((*Puts up sign* Gone to dinner))
"You know...I'm not really sure." He said.
((Alright then, see you later.))
"We'll probably get more people as we go," Jas stands up. "We can't just ask every person we meet to do this, but there's no way we can keep secrets. It'll flow."
Solon nodded his head slowly.
"I guess we should get some sleep and explore town tomorrow. Then we can organize our groups and get to Scalus, so you can have your jewel back," Solon decided, yawning again. After all the chaos, he had forgotten to redress himself. So, he just grabbed his jeans and shirt and threw them in a dresser. "We can finetune the plan tomorrow."
"So then," Jas starts heading to the door, trying to leave on a good note. "When I leave, you guys aren't gonna go crazy and party without me, right?" She asks grinning a bit.
"We won't. I'm actually pretty tired." Nimbus said.
"I'm gonna hit the hay. See ya' tomorrow." He left and went in his room. He shut and locked the door, and went to bed.
"Night then," Jas leaves the room, starting to head back to her own.
Lanbar had just recently fallen asleep on the couch in the room. He was snoring away oblivious to his surroundings.
(( So are we just going to have a time skip or something now?))
Ooc// Idk......BoA has to decide that. :P
((Partay in Jas' room! j/k... maybe... >.>))
Jas gets to her room, kicks the door shut with the back of her foot, and flops down on the bed.
Venice left the hotel and went into the dark streets. He found a grocer and crept in. He grabbed some food and went out. He went back to the hotel and left the food at Jas's door, to be found in the morning. Finally, he made his way to his own room and went to sleep.
Even though it's late, and she's done a lot in the past few days, Jas can't sleep. Something seems to be up, but she can't figure out what it is.
((First Kai, now Venice! Everyone's seems to be treating Jas well :P Where's mah stolen food? D:))
The only noise left in the room was Lanbar's rthymic breathing. Solon cupped his face into his hands and sighed. If we are caught, what could that mean in terms of war? Solon thought. This could be too dangerous for the others... What am I getting everyone into? But then Solon remembered the reason they wanted the jewel back for Jas... It holds powers! Just think of what Scalus, the minipulative war forces that they are, could do with power like that! If it has to start, at least let it start without a powerful gem in their hands.
Solon sighed again and laid back onto the edge of the bed. He was trying to think up some different solutions to their problems, some other ways to go to head with this... But Lanbar's snores slowly brought Solon into a deep sleep...
"I' i' eh ohy weh..." came a muffled voice in Solon's head. Solon opened his eyes to blackness. Where am I? he tried to say, but it only came out as an echoed thought. Gah! I can't talk! the thought bounced through the room. Then, Solon heard movement on the other side of the blackness. Who's there?
"Ooo muh sacrifieh one oher..." the muffled sound came again. What are you talking about!? Who's talking? Solon cried from his thoughts. Then, he wished he had never asked. A dead, rotting body rolled out from the darkness. Its mouth was wide open, and Solon realized it had no tongue. Then, the zombie got up and repeated what it said, speaking the best it could without a tongue.
"Goh to Scaluh an geh gem back. Ohly weh hoo shop bloo'y wah. Buh one will die..." it hissed. WHO? shouted Solon, realizing now why he could not speak... The dead was leaving him without a voice, like it had to expierence. But, the blackness began to fade and Solon opened his eyes to realize he was back in the hotel room, sun soaking through the hole in the roof.
"J...Just a dream..." Solon whispered, he was sweating and felt like he had just run the length of Scalander. One will die?
((Dun hate. Besides, I think I know what's goin' on. :P))
Jas sits up rubbing her head. She fell asleep hours ago, but it seems like she only got a few minutes of sleep. While smoothing her hair down, Jas wonders where this 'adventure' of hers will lead.
Kai woke up with a hangover and ran to the bathroom.
Nimbus was awake long before the others. Staring at the sky as usual.
After he was done, he got up from the window and gathered his stuff together.
Venice woke up and did nothing of particular importance.
Jas opens her door to go out into the hall, but stop when she sees the food. "How the hell...?"
Venice stepped out of his room and went to the lobby.
Kai walked out of the bathroom after an hour of puking, he felt better and walked into the hall.
Nimbus went into the hall.
Kai hid behind a wall and waited for Nimbus to come by so he could jump out and scare him, he was looking for laugh.
Nimbus walked right up to the spot where Kai was.
Kai jumped out from the hiding spot waiting for Nimbus' reaction
((What do you think is going on :)?))
Solon took a shower and got dressed. Deciding that being seen by employees of the hotel would be bad, so he snuck out through the hole in the roof. He couldn't stay locked up when the prophecy weighed down on his shoulders. He had decided not to tell anyone else. Besides, the tongueless man had said that what they were doing would prevent war. But, a sacrifice has to be made... Solon shook his head.
"The fresh air will do me good," he mumbled to himself. "Plus, looking for a sailor will take my mind off of things."
Nimbus was trained in surprsie attacks. He quickly grabbed Kai, and threw him over his head and dropped him on his head.
ooc// I have to go.
Kai quickly recovered and went outside the hotel looking for Solon.
Solon walked through the town, looking at all the white painted buildings, and some of the old brick houses. Why do rich people always have bright white houses? thought Solon. He was in a horrible mood, and looked at all the smiling Emitters with frown. Why couldn't my life have been happy and easy like these people? Solon pushed the thought away. He had fallen in love with adventure since he was a little boy. This life would have never suited him. But then, why was he so jealous of it?
OOC// Hey guys. I'm gonna drop out of the RP. I leave for a day and a half and come back to see an extra 20 pages. I don't even know where I left off. I might come back as a stowaway, but that remains to be seen. See ya later, and good luck with the RP!
~LS
((Byyee FW and LS and I think somehow betrayal is gonna come into play somewhere.))
Jas looks for the others. "Where'd they go?"
Kai saw Solon, he sprinted to catch him "Yo, Solon wait up"
Solon sighed when he heard Kai behind him. Solon didn't want to give away that anything was wrong, so he stopped and turned around, a smile plastered on his face.
"Oh hey, Kai," Solon said while yawning, giving him a reason to act less then peppy.
IC// "Hey!" Harver ran up to Solon and Kai. "I was wondering where you guys went."
OOC// Like I said, I might pop in eventually! ;D
((Jeez, LS, you sure take your time to get back into the RP!))
Solon stared at Harver for a second, then remembered him as the guy who had pushed him out of the way from "The Drunken Fist" of Lanbar.
"Hey," Solon greeted. "What was your name again?"
Lanbar had recently woken up and was rubbing his eyes and streching as he left the hotel. "Man...That couch sure was comfy. That was a pretty nice hotel." He remarked to himself.
((You said it was okay to have a second character, right?))
"Anyway I'm bored and I want to fight, so anyone up for a duel"
Harver then realized that he never gave out his name. "My apologies, I never did give you my name. I'm Harver, a scholar here at Emit." He held out his hand, and shifted his waist so that his sword could not be viewed by them.
((Yep, you can have second characters. Are you planning on making a sailor?))
Solon shook his hand and then looked over at Kai. "Is dueling all you can think about?" he shot, unleashing some of his anger and confusion in those words. Then he shook his head and tried to regain composure. "Sure, I'll duel you," Solon added, hoping it would take some of the anger out of him.
Harver put on his cheesiest (sp?) grin, and stepped between the two about to fight, and said calmly, "Hey guys, no need to fight, right? Why don't we go out to eat, on me?"
Solon glanced at Kai, wondering what his reaction would be at someone who actually didn't want a fight. But, suddenly Solon didn't care what Kai would think.
"I actually have somewhere to be, Harver," Solon lied. Then, he realized that this guy was an Emitter, and could help them find a sailor. "But, I can cancel my plans. I'm a bit hungry actually."
((Yes...yes I am!))
Name: Tanbar
Extra Info: Yes, this is Lanbar's twin ;)
Age: 32
Person: Sailor
Land: Crescent Island
Personality: His personality is a lot like Lanbar, however, he doesn't get drunk as often as his brother.
Looks: Just like Lanbar except his clothes are green instead of blue
Weapon: Crescent sword
Weapon 2: The Drunken Fist (once again, only when he's drunk)
Lanbar walked over to the nearby port and looked out at the ocean. "...Hey, is that my ship?" He said seeing a familiar ship come over the horizen at a quick speed. After a few moments, he saw that it was his ship. "That is my ship! Some bastard must of stolen it! Well I'll teach him!" He said unsheathing his crescent sword as the ship came to dock.
"That's great!" Harver exclaimed, relaxing a bit. "Come on, I know the perfect place!" Phew! That was a close one.
"I never duel on an empty stomach, where we going to eat and I better like it or I'm gonna kick your ass"
When the ship docked and let out a plank for people to get off from, Lanbar ran up it and jumped onto the ship. "Nobody takes MY ship!" He shouted.
"Nobody except for your brother." Said a smug voice from behind Lanbar.
"Tanbar?" Lanbar said spinning around to the voice.
"The one and only." Tanbar said happily.
"We haven't seen each other in years!" He said running up to Tanbar. They started to do various hand movements in synchronization that could only be presumed to be their brotherly handshake. "What are you doing here?"
"That's the thing. I just got this feeling that you were here and needed a sailor and then before I know it, I'm coming here!" He said excitedly.
"I suppose it is true about twins having that sixth sense." He said with a laugh. "Oh, you need to meet my new friends that I've met." He said grabbing Tanbar and pulling him off the ship.
((Finally, our much needed character!))
"Great," Solon replied, lightening up. He was pretty hungry since he slept through breakfast.
Lanbar was walking around the town with his twin Tanbar talking about what had happened since they had last met. Hm...I still don't see Solon and the others...Where are they?
Harver started walking, leading them to a place called 'Time Diner'. "This is my favorite place to go whenever I'm allowed to go outside my house." He smiled, remembering all the moments he spent here. "The food isn't too bad, either!" He walked in, expecting the others to follow.
"It better be good Harver" he said catching his fist with his hand while walking in/
((Nice pick up on how everything is related to time in the Land of Emit, which is convienently 'Time' spelled backwards :P. I'm so creative, aren't I?))
Solon felt his stomach growl, and eagerly followed Harver inside.
"Hey, no need to be so angry!" He said, as he quickly grabbed a booth. The inside looked like a normal diner would, excluding the ever so famous jukebox.
OOC// Can I control a minor character? Ex. a waiter/waitress? And yes, that was creative! I found that out when I was thinking for the name of the diner, and decided that it should be Emit spelled backwards. That was when I discovered the relation.
Lanbar saw Solon walking and ran over there with Tanbar following. "Solon! Hey!"
Kai sat down beside Harver "So what the hell is on the menus here"

((You have no idea how right you are... I already have a betrayal plan in place... 8)
((Yep, minor characters like the townspeople AKA: "No Namers" anyone can control))
Solon stopped at the door to Time Diner and turned around.
"Lanbar, you made a clone!?" gasped Solon.
((We all know how much you want to steal that gem :D))
"Erm...you could say that." Lanbar said in a joking fashion.
"My name's Tanbar." Said Tanbar putting out his hand to shake Solon's hand. "Your name is...Solon, right?"

((We all know how much you want to steal that gem :D))
((Oh, the gem will play a part... But that's not the main thing... Well, that's the motive, but that's not the real betrayal...))
Venice walked out of the inn and into a domer for food. Inside, he noticed Solon, Lanbar, and Lanbar's clone.
((Interesting. >.> <.< and siv))
"Geeze, when you wanna find them, you can't," Jas mumbles, wandering into a restaurant (Yes, the same one) to buy something to eat.
Kai saw Jas and walked out of the booth to see her
((What's "siv"? Sorry if it's obvious.
"So this where you all went," murmured Venice as he approached the group.
"Yeah, that's right," Solon replied, shaking Tanbar's hand. "Tanbar and Lanbar? Sorry in advance if I ever confuse the two of you."
"Don't worry." Lanbar said.
"We get that all the time." Tanbar said after Lanbar. "And just for future reference, I'm not his clone, I'm his brother." He said glaring at Lanbar.
"What? It was just a little joke." He said.
Kai walked outside and saw two Lanbars "Hey look it's double the drunks"
Solon laughed at Kai's comment, finding himself forgetting about his dream and becoming submerced in conversation with his friends.
((siv = sorry I vanished... I keep doing that because I'm multitasking. XP))
Jas sees Kai. "So they went here..."
"Hey! I'm twice the drunk my twin is!" Lanbar said.
"And I'm half the drunk MY twin is!" Tanbar said.
"...Isn't that basically the same thing I just said." He said.
"Well, I'm just trying to make the point." He said.
"Sure you were." Lanbar said.
"And what's that supposed to mean?!?" Tanbar said.
"Why don't you just pointlessly repeat it to 'make the point.'" Lanbar said using a mimicking voice for the last part.
The two continued to argue as brothers normally do.
Venice watched quietly as everyone decided to be idiots once more.
Solon stared at them for a moment, until his stomach reminded him how hungry he was. So, Solon went inside to find Harver's booth and get some food.
OOC// I forgot to mention, Harver loves to flirt.
IC// Harver stood up and walked over to Jas. "And who is this lovely diamond I see?" He said, smiling. "My name is Harver, and I do believe I saw you a while ago with these people."
Ic// Nimbus left the hotel and went to look for the others. He found them. "What are you doing? And who's that?"
((Why is it that when I'm somewhere, everyone else is elsewhere? XD))
Jas is inside, looking for somewhere to sit when she hears Harver. She turns around. "Yeah, you did see me with them. Why?"
((I g2g bbl dinner...and possibly a trumpet/choir rehearsal))
((That's three of the guys whose gone for Jas XD. Guess that's what happens when it's one girl in a group of guys.))
Solon ordered a hamburger from the diner, using money he pickpocketed from Harver when he passed by. Well, he said he was going to pay, Solon thought with a grin. With his hamburger, and some extra money courtesy of Harver in his pockets, he walked over to the group and slipped Harver's wallet back in his pocket.
((See yah, Hobo))

((3? Who? Haven't kept track.))
Ooc// I went to look for Solon. I found him, And I asked him question. ;D
((Harver, Venice, and Kai.
F_W, you did? What did you ask me?))
OOC// lol
IC// "No reason!" He said, still smiling. "I just want to make sure I know everyone in your group." Gosh, she's pretty... "There's you, umm..." He held out his fingers, trying to remember them, when he realized something. "Hey, I don't even know any of your name's-!" He turned around when his wallet fell out of his pocket.
He bent and picked it up when he realized that there was something wrong. He examined the wallet carefully. Hmm... sweat and grease marks? And I haven't touched it at all today save for the morning... He turned to Solon, noticing that he had food in his hands. He walked over.
OOC// Uh-oh. Things are not going to be pretty.
IC// Venice watched all the proceedings with mild interest.
Solon noticed Harver was trying to flirt with Jas. And she seemed oblivious to the whole thing. Solon smiled to himself, finding that fact a bit funny. Then he noticed Harver drop his wallet and walk over to him. Solon kept a straight face, but knew what Harver was walking towards him for.
Ooc// I asked who Harver was.
Venice noticed Harver approaching Solon and a smirk came to his lips as he realized what had happened.
Harver opened up his wallet, and examined the contents inside. "Everything seems to be in order... you've only stolen a small amount of money from me." He took out a few more (insert currency here) and placed it in Solon's hands. "Next time, ask."
He then unsheathed his sword in a blink of an eye, and placed the tip at Solon's neck. "And next time, also, think before you act. This is but a warning. Believe me, I despise fighting. But, I will do whatever I can to protect myself. The money in my pocket? That's all I have. A few more weeks, and I'll starve. Which is why I want to make the most of what little life I have left."
He put his sword back on his waist. Then, he returned to the booth where he had previously been.
OOC// Whew! Good thing Harver didn't get too out of hand! Also, can you put Scholar/Swordmaster on the front page? Thanks.
Venice stared at Harver for a moment, thinking.
((Did anyone answer you?))
Solon was furious by how Harver had made himself look superior, when in fact Solon knew he could take him on any day, any time, and win. It was in Solon's blood to steal, he didn't want people to think it was because he had no money. So, Solon walked by Harver's booth and slipped the extra money Harver gave him back into his pocket, unnoticed, while going to throw his food away.
Solon then realized he had forgotten all his weaponry back in the hotel, and was grateful nothing led to a fight. Though he still thought he could take Harver on. He's just an annoying school boy, Solon thought, heading back towards the hotel.
((@LS- I couldn't find your description so I couldn't remember what you were. Thanks, I'll edit that now.))
Ooc// No.
here, I'll just say I'm wandering the streets looking for you, then you see me, then we talk. Okay?
((It looks like I'll be able to be here for a while longer :D))
Lanbar and Tanbar stopped fighting only to realize that they were the only two outside right now. The only other person they could see was a person wandering the streets. ((F_W, that's you. ;)))
Harver sighed, and walked out of the diner to catch up to Solon. He put his hand on his shoulder. "Hey, sorry about that. It's just that... I..." He paused for a moment. "I... don't want to die. Not this soon. I want to see the world!" He closed his eyes, pretending to be in different places. He reopened them, and saw how angry Solon was. "Will you forgive me?"
((Sure. You can pass me and Harver and then ask the question.))
"You... Don't want to die?" Solon asked, images of his dream flashing before his mind. He shook his head. "It isn't you. I've been in a bad mood lately ever since..." Solon got even angrier now then he was before. He was about to spill his dream, and that could never happen. He shoved Harver's hand off his shoulder and continued walking back to the hotel.
((Damnit had to eat dinner. What happened?))
Jas finishes what's left of her meal, and watches the others, drink in hand. "Hm. Someone's panties are up their ass today..."
((My char isn't oblivious, just hard to get. XP))
((Suuuuuuure she's not oblivious. Anyway, Solon and Harver got into a fight, and the only people not at the diner are Solon, Harver, and Nimbus.))
((She's not! >.<))
When nobody seems to be paying attention, Jas slips outside. After making her way to a less crowded area, she sits against a tree.
"Wait!" Harver exclaimed, following Solon once again. "Where are you going?"
Ic// Nimbus noticed Lanbar, and another person with him. He ran over to the ship, and said, "Hey, Lanbar, who's that?"
Venice exits the diner as well. He noticed everyone had dispersed throughout the crowd and went back to the hotel.
Solon made it to the hotel. "I'm going here. I forgot my weapons inside..." Solon began trying to climb the hotel without his grappling hook. After a few attempts, he realized that wasn't going to work. "I need to get inside..." Solon thought for a moment, then left the hotel without saying another word, going into the forest area of the Land of Emit.
"This is my twin, Tanbar." Lanbar said. "And Tanbar, this is Nimbus."
"It's nice to meet you." Tanbar said to Nimbus.
((Should we get onto the ship soon >_>;))
"Wait!" Harver repeated! "I wouldn't do that if I were you."
((I need mah supplies D: And you should tell everyone that Tanbar is a sailor, I know I'd be happy to know that.))
"Why not?" asked Solon, continuing his pace as he entered the woods.
((The Magic 8 ball says to ask BoA))
Jas stands up, and starts punching and kicking at imaginary targets. The moves are nothing special, just random combinations of strikes.
"Nice to meet you Tanbar. " He reached out his hand to offer him a handshake.
"As you know I'm a scholar, so I know quite a bit about... well... everything! I gather that you guys are being followed as we speak, and that a group of people who were following you are probably waiting for you to come back, and will take your weapons, rendering you completely at their mercy, unarmed and tired."
((And the magical 8 ball says that I ranked up! :D))
"Same goes for you." Tanbar said shaking his hand.
"Oh! I've forgotten to tell everybody that Tanbar can be our sailor!" Lanbar exclaimed.
"Wait? Why do you need a sailor?" Tanbar asked.
"Well, we need to go to Scalus to get a jewel that might contain great powers." He replied.
"Oh, I see. Well, we've got the ship and the sailor. So what are we waiting for? Let's go!" He said.
"Alright, but we need to find the others first." Lanbar said. "Would you happen to know where the others are?" He asked Nimbus.
"I haven't seen them, I was actually looking for them when I saw you." He said.
Ooc// I gotta go now. Bye.
((The Magical 8 Ball says I am almighty and call the shots, mwahahaha! *coughhackyou'restillobliviouscoughhack*))
"What? Following me, or them?" Solon gasped. "Nevermind, we've got to get back!" Solon began running at quick speeds, heading straight for the hotel. "First, I need to make a pit stop." He was going to get vines in the forest to scale the hotel, but there wasn't time for that. He ran right past the secritary desk, where a women asked for his hotel card. He ran right up to the top floor and dove at the closed door of his "room". He knocked through it, and hit the ground with broken bits of wood all over him.
"Ow..." he whimpered, before getting up and staggering towards the bathroom. He had left his weapons in there, but he heard the shower on... He quickly slipped in to grab his sword and grappling hook, as silently as he could. There was a woman in the shower, and he felt himself go bright red at the thought of being caught sneaking into the bathroom while the shower was on.
As he left the room with his equiptment, he heard a scream. As quickly as he could, he darted up the hole and jumped down the building. He threw his grappling hook up at the hotel last second, before crashing down, so he didn't fall to his death or anything. Instead, the momentum brought him crashing to the side of the hotel, and he let go of the grappling hook and fell with a crash on the floor.
He slowly got up again and grabbed his equiptment.
"That must... Be... A... new record..." he gasped, as he staggered a couple more steps forward. "Now... must find... enemies...." his head was bleeding and his vision was blurry, but he kept on walking back towards the diner where he figured everyone else was.
"Well then let's go search for them together!" Said the twins in unison.
"Well...that-" Lanbar started.
"-Was odd." Tanber ifinished.
"Wait...Did-" Tanbar said.
"-You just finish my sentence?" Lanbar finished.
"I suppose twins -" Tanbar started.
"-DO have those kind of powers." Lanbar finished.
"That could get-" Lanbar started.
"-Annoying" Tanbar said.
"So I say we should stop that." Tanbar said.
"Agreed..." Lanbar said. "So let's go look for the others now that that's over."
"Solon!" Harver quickly rushed to his side, and started to help him walk back. "That. Was. The. Most. Idiotic. Thing. I have ever seen." He said, slowly breathing with him. "We need to get you to a doctor. You're not looking so well."
Venice exited his room upon hearing a scream from Solon's room. He went there and quickly figured out what had happened. He exited the hotel to look for the others.
"I haven't been to a doctor," Solon took a deep breath, "in all sixteen years of my life!" Besides, one of us needs to die. It shouldn't be Harver, he has big plans. Lanbar has family, same goes to Tanbar. Jas has an important family gem to look after... Solon's head was getting fuzzy.
"I needed my sword... And what about the gang... Following us?"
Lanbar saw Solon with the bloody head. "Woah! What happened-" Lanbar was interupted.
"-To him!" Tanbar finished.
"I thought we agreed not to do that." Lanbar said.
"Sorry, must be a natural instinct for twins." Tanbar said. "But that's not important right now." He said giving a short run over to Solon and Harver. "What happened?"
"My head isn't bleeding!" snapped Solon. "I spilled paint. Now get the others, we're leaving."
"Real smooth move, Solon," said Venice sarcastically as he walked out and found the idiots.

"Not right now, I have to get him to the doctor-!" A sad realization hit Harver. The nearest doctor was ten miles away!
((Meanie BoA. >.<))
Jas finishes, and returns to the hotel. After showering, she leaves, her gear and belongings in a bag over her shoulder. "Hope everyone's still where I left 'em," she goes back to the restaurant, where she sees Solon. "... What'd you do this time?"
Tanbar quickly looked around and saw Jas whom he ran over to. "Hey, Jas right? we need to get going."
Lanbar turned to Nimbus and said. "Follow me, I'll show you my-"
"It's our's, Lanbar!" Tanbar shouted to Lanbar.
"Whatever. OUR ship." Lanbar said walking toward the ship.
((I g2g now so BoA, I suppose you can now control my characters to get onto the ship...I guess :P))
((Of COURSE it's interesting, I made it! :P *ahem* Anyway, we won't leave for Scalus until you get here, unless you'd rather just stay in Scalus and wait for us to get to you.)) ((I like my new tuff name. BoA Constictor's my name, snakin's my game. And come on, you pretend to be playing hard to get, but really, you're oblivious!)) ((Don't worry, Hobo, I won't do anything... unyou. I guess :P))
"We're leaving as fast as everyone's feet can get on board," Solon said, swaying a little. "Harver, would you like to leave your boring scholar life and come along?" Solon said quickly, looking over at Harver. "It seems your knowledge may come in handy."

((WAIT! WTF? I thought I just- never mind... I'll go edit my post.))
Seeing Jas, Venice decided to tell her what had happened. "The idiot jumped out of a building just to get some equipment."
Harver stopped his panicking for a moment. "You want me to come with you?" He leaned in closer to Solon, so that only he could hear. "What about your injury?"
((OR we can have a time jump after we fix that head injury))
"Lanbar has a long lost doublemint twin?" Jas shakes her head. "What about Solon? He doesn't... look too good..."
((I am NOT oblivious! ;_;))

OOC// You don't need to wait... He never accepted anyone. He just let everyone RP.
((Okay, okay, your're not oblivious... *cough cough*))
"What, do I need a hair cut or something? I think I look pretty darn good!" Solon shot. "Stuff like this happens to me all the time, I recover and get over it. What's the fun being stuck in a Doctor's bed? Now, show some adventurous spirit and let's get out of here."
Solon mouthed back so only Harver could see him, "You need to tell me more about these people who are following us."
((What, do you want Jas and Venice to start making out or something XD? Ooh, do you want to get close to Jas, so you'll be able to steal the jewel and betray her? Is that your secret plan?))
((Haha BoA. -_- I don't want anyone to be making out... yet. >.>))
Jas sighs. "How are you gonna have any fun adventuring if you die from head trauma!?"
"Later." Harver mouthed back, and then backed off. "Ok, I have decided to take up on your offer. Thanks for letting me come aboard. Now, I think it would be in best interest of everyone if we left as soon as possible. We wouldn't want to rise suspicion with an injured man in tow."

((I said that earlier. -_-' And there's gonna be no making out if
I dun feel like making ma char make out. I am the only female. :P))
"If ya'll say so," Jas starts heading for the ship.
((Hey, I have more things to think about then your love triangle. Like... you know... Well I wasn't really thinking about it till just now. And I'm calling the character oblivious, whether she's really oblivious or just doesn't feel comfortable with computer RPG relations is all up to her.))
(Oh, right, I'm supposed to control Hobo. Don't expect much personality from them, I'm controlling them like robots.)
"Come on guys, the ship-" Lanbar started.
"Is right over there," pointed Tanbar, finishing Lanbar's directions.
"C'mon guys," yelled Solon, already staggering towards the ship. He was really annoyed, and just wanted to get the hell away from the island. The sooner they got on with their challenge, the sooner Solon's mind would be off death.
((Gotta go))
"We should hurry up." Harver said. "The sooner Solon gets to rest the better." But... will they ever find out? The talk about a war... my studies leading to something new... and now I'm thrown into this whole mishap, and I didn't even say goodbye. Heh... this is gonna be one weird adventure.
((*Imitating Nerd* Hey, I've had PLENTY of RPG relations, okay? :P))
"Way ahead of ya," Jas was standing a distance away. She stopped to wait for them.
((See ya BoA))
Harver caught up with Jas, and began to walk towards the ship, anxious, angry, sad, happy, and confused. But there was no turning back now. He was in a vortex that would change his life forever. Nothing would ever be the same.
And so we go.
Jas gets on the ship, and goes to put her gear back on before it leaves.
Ooc// Wow....What happened?!
"So" Kai said chuckling while following the others onto the ship "We need a Dumbass of a scholar to help us?"
Ooc// Mind telling me what happened?
Harver shot Kai a glare, but decided to keep his mouth shut. He didn't want any more trouble.
Ooc// Wow.....No one can give a summary? :|

((Everyone's getting on the ship now.))
"Before we go, we need to steal the peace flag off of the other boat," Solon said. The flag was white with the peace symbol in black in the middle of it. If they wanted to travel to different places without injury, they would need that flag.
Harver sighed. He mouthed to Solon, "You can't go since you're injured, and I shouldn't go since I'd much rather stay here and treat your 'paint job.'"
"Venice is the other theif, he'll need to do it..." Solon sighed.
"Ok..." Harver stopped momentarily. "Which one is Venice? Heck- I don't even know your names! But that will have to come later. So which one is Venice?"
"He's the pale guy with black hair and tattered tan clothing," whispered Solon, pointing slightly at Venice.
He walked over to the designated person. "You heard your captain. Retrieve the flag." Harver was short on temper. He didn't want his new boss to die so quickly. He returned to Solon. "Let me help you clean up that paint."
Solon suddenly had a flashback of when he was the boss of his own Theiving clan. He hadn't been called a boss by anyone since then. He shook his head, spurring the memories away.
"Fine," Solon grunted. "Just give me a wet towel and I'll wipe the blood..."
Harver led Solon inside the ship, and he found a towel and a sink. He put a bit of warm water onto the towel, and gave it to Solon. He examined the cut and breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems you're a fast healer... the bleeding has stopped, and the cut is already starting to receed. However, we can't let it get infected... there has to be disinfectant somewhere around here."
Harver began to look around for something he could use to protect the cut.
"There's a first aid kit in the other ship," Solon replied. "I'll go get it." Solon began walking out the door, hoping he could get some action before they took off.
Harver hurried after Solon. "I wouldn't advise that. We can't risk getting your cut worsened. Besides, Solon, Venice is going to the other ship. You could ask him to do so." It was only then that Harver realized his mistake. He acted quickly. "You should go get some rest."
Solon sighed. He hated being forced to stay inside. It was when he he was forced to stay put that he wanted to go out and do something. Right now, banging his head on the side of the building and crashing through that door had been his most fun. Then Solon remembered what Harver had said. He pulled Harver into a seperare room.
"Okay, fine, I'll stay here. But, I want to know about this gang that's been following us."
"In due time." Harver said, shifting uncomfortably. "Now, I'll go tell Venice to get the disinfectant, and when I come back, I'll tell you everything I know. Even though it's not much."
Harver exited the room and went to Venice. "When you retrieve the flag, is it alright if you also pick up the First Aid kit there? If someone ends up hurt or ill, we'll need it."
OOC// Now we just have to wait for Tri to get on.
Nimbus went on the ship and sat down, waiting for the others to get on board.
Ooc// Thanks BoA. :)
Harver returned to the room to find Solon. "Follow me." He said. He walked to the Men's Quarters of the ship. He sat down on one of the beds. "So, you want to know about the group that's following you?"
"Yeah," Solon replied. "I want to know who they are, where they're from, what they want, and how you knew about them. Everything."
Jas stares at herself in a mirror for a few minutes before clipping her hair back. She leaves the mask at her side, not finding it necessary to wear it at the moment.
"Ok." Harver said, standing up. "I'll tell you all I know about this group - or, more widely known as, the Dead Men. Have you heard of them?"
((I'm liking it so far :P))
Solon shook his head, but he had a creeping sensation that he might of known them more then he understood...
Lanbar and Tanbar were running around the ship preparing everything for their voyage.
"I'm so excited to be sailing again." Tanbar said happily.
"Well...I just hope we don't meet...'him' again." Lanbar said with a sigh.
"I wonder what 'his' problem was." Tanbar said.
Venice rolled his eyes and went to the other ship. When no one was looking, he climbed the mast and retrieved the flag. Then he went inside and retrieved the first-aid kit.
That was easy, he thought as he walked back to the ship. He had checked to make sure no one had followed him as he got on and gave Harver the items.
Harver thanked Venice as he motioned for him to leave the room.
Solon sighed as he saw the first aid kit. "Give the sails to Lanbar and Tanbar so they can put it on the mast. I'll treat my own wounds. Then tell me more about these... Dead Men people," Solon instructed.
Nimbus walked over to Tanbar. "Anything I can do to help?"
"Um..." Tanbar started to think. "How about you help Lanbar put up the mast."
"Me? Why can't I do it?" Lanbar said.
"Because I still have things to do at the wheel." He said sticking out his tounge at Lanbar.
"Fine!" Lanbar said walking toward the mast.
Nimbus went to help assist Lanbar at his task.
Harver made sure that Venice was out of earshot before he continued. "I thought you hadn't heard of them. They are supposed to be a group of people who are trying to do things for a greater good. However, when I heard about a jewel of mass power trying to be stolen, I could not help but think that it was the Dead Men.
"You see, they say they need a large amount of power in order to end things like world hunger and global warming. However, when I heard about a peculiar item being stolen for its properties, I had lost all trust in them. Though their actual motives are still unclear, they must be up to no good, for why would they lie otherwise?
"Am I going too fast?" Harver stopped for a moment to let Solon catch up on everything.
Lanbar grabbed the rope still mumbling unaudible swears and started pulling it, making the mast move up.
Kai was busily trying to think of more ways to insult Harver.
"Hm... So, you think they stole it? Then, why would they be following us? If I were them I would have left the scene of the crime," commented Solon, thinking.
Nimbus started raising the other sails.
"Sorry, but for that, I don't have much of a clue." Harver sighed. "Did you have any thing to do with the jewel?"
Lanbar tied the rope so the mast will stay up. "Alright, we're ready to sail Tanbar!"
"Okay then." Tanbar said turning the wheel as the ship left the dock.
OOC// Where are we going?
((Scalus))
Kai walked up to Solon and said "Hey, when is this piece of floating crap gonna leave"
OOC// Thanks. Why, might I ask? I only skimmed across the parts that I missed.
Jas finds the others. "..."
Kai saw Jas "Hey, your foot feeling better?"
((To find Jas's gem, the one you say the Dead Men stole. Someone had stolen it in Scalus, and Nimbus thought it might be in the castle.))
"Let's go outside and talk to the others about this. We need to decide whether to go to Scalus or to search for these Dead Men," Solon announced, leaving the quarters.
((Jas still has my bandana :O, I just remembered that.)

((Jas still has my bandana :O, I just remembered that.)
Before Solon was able to leave, Harver grabbed his shoulder. "I believe we should go to Scalus. If you need to go to Scalus, then it would be killing two birds with one stone. They'd follow us, and we'd be where we want to be."
"That was where they last were... But why would they continue to follow us after stealing it? I mean, I saw some of the people trying to get the gem. They were Scalus soldiers. They shot Jas in the leg, and a figure I could not see took the jewel from her," Solon explained. "There must be more they want from us..." Solon wondered... It wasn't him was it? Solon took a deep breath.
"Alright, we'll keep this between us for now. But anyway, let's go out and help the others."
"Got it." Harver exited the room, and went back out on deck. "So, are we ready to leave?"
Tanbar grabbed the little intercom microphone and spoke into it. "Hello and thank you for choosing to sail on Lanbar and Tanbar ship service. Today, we are leaving for Scalus and wil-"
"Would you just shut up and say what's important!" Lanbar shouted.
"Alright then, sheesh! We will be entering the whirl channel very soon so please keep all hands and legs in the boat at all times and hold on to personal belongings. And thanks again for choosing Lanbar and Ta-"
"Alright! They get the idea now!" Lanbar said.
Tanbar hung up the intercom. "Well sorry if I just want to joke around."
"Pffft. Whatever."
Venice rolled his eyes at Lanbar and his clone. "Two times the stupid," he muttered, just loud enough for them to hear.
Harver walked over to the edge of the ship, smiling at the vast ocean before them. A new adventure...
"What did you just say?" Lanbar said pulling out his sword and putting it to Venice's neck.
Tanbar ignored what his brother was doing and pulled out the intercom again. "We will soon reach the whirl channel. We will be hitting it in 3...2...1!" The intercom hung up and the ship shot off across the sea at astonishing speeds and before anybody knew it, the ship had slown down and Scalus had come into sight.

Kai saw Jas "Hey, your foot feeling better?"
Jas nods, smiling a bit. "Yeah, it is. Maybe we can get back to that spar one day?"
Harver smiled at the quickly completed voyage. "Well, that certainly was anti-climactic."
Solon stood for a moment on the deck, sea sick. He recovered almost instantly, and looked at the land before them... Scalus.
"Alright, everybody. Before we get any closer, we need to divide into our teams. Whoever is going to infiltrate the castle, come over to me, if you are going to create a distraction, go to the other side of the ship," directed Solon.

Venice didn't flinch as the blade came to his neck. Instead, he merely took out his dagger and pushed the blade away with it. Then, he ran at Lanbar and put the knife to his throat.
Harver went over to stand with Solon. "I'd be happy to accompany you on our dangerous mission. I've always wanted to see new places; the inside of Scalus Castle is the perfect place to start!"

Jas nods, smiling a bit. "Yeah, it is. Maybe we can get back to that spar one day?"
"Sure" he says drawing his falchion "You make the first move"
"Hey, guys!" Harver exclaimed at Kai and Jas. "You guys shouldn't spar when we're about to go on a mission! We can't risk any unneccesary injuries."
Tanbar jumped in and hit the knife out of Venice's hands with his sword. "Listen, we shouldn't be fighting now. Solon's giving commands."
Lanbar put away his sword. "Alright...I suppose you're right." Lanbar walked over to the other side of the ship. "You know, I suppose I DO make a pretty good distraction." He said.
Venice sheathed his dagger and went to Solon's side.
Jas draws her blades. "Don't worry so much," she dashes at Kai, slashing at his legs.
Kai jumped over Jas and slashed at her shirt.
Harver sighed. "This really sucks."
Solon was suddenly bored with playing leader. He didn't really care who did distraction or who infiltrated. There was something new on his mind now... Solon shrugged, took out his grappling hook, and got off the boat the same way he did the first time he entered Scalus. He landed on the Scalus flag, and then slid down it, entering the town.
Harver quickly followed, using his sword to slide down.
"Well, Tanbar, it looks like we're going to be the distraction for them." Lanbar said walking off the boat.
"Alrighty then. I guess this will be pretty interesting." Tanbar said following Lanbar as they both came off the boat casually.
Solon was no longer doing this for Jas and her gem, this was turning into a more personal matter. He just needed to get in there and see if it was him... If it wasn't, he'd never go looking again. If it was... Solon turned to see Lanbar, Tanbar, and Harver following him. He slowed down to let them catch up, though he continued thinking.
Venice left Jas and Kai to their spar and ran after the others.
Nimbus went to join the infiltration team.
Solon used his grappling hook to scale a building, and then reached its roof. He looked out, trying to find the castle. He looked at the group following, and saw Nimbus.
"Nimbus, lead me to the castle, please," Solon directed, his mind set.
"Okay follow me." he went north towards the other side of the island.
"Well, I suppose it'd be logical to go in the opposite direction if we want to create a really good distraction." Lanbar said walking the other way with Tanbar following.
Solon followed Nimbus, seeing him, but not really seeing him. He felt like a robot, being controlled by some emotion that had been eating away at him all his life. He watched Nimbus go north, his eyes cold and harsh, memories of his childhood dancing through his head.
He stopped to make sure everyone was following, then he continued.
((siv distracted by nieces))
Jas sees the others leaving. "Damnit... Once again, our spar is delayed..." She runs after them, headed for the castle in search of her jewel.
Solon finally saw the castle up ahead. He began walking along it, trying to decide the best way to get inside. As long as Nimbus was with them, they would not be questioned for now, at least, that was the plan. Still, Solon needed a plan in case they could not get inside.
Lanbar and Tanbar walked into a nearby bar.
"Give us the strongest drink you have." They both said in unison.
"Alright, if you guys say so." The bartender said giving them two tall glasses of what seemed to be beer.
"Well, you ready to create the distraction of your life?" Lanbar said.
"You know it." Tanbar said as they gave a toast, clanking the two glasses together. Then they proceeded to drink it all down.
"Har har har. " A loud pirate laugh echoed through the hallway. " Why did 'e 'apture this goy agai'? He's a crazy skinny la', couldn't be more then a teena'er! "
Boogie was sitting in a cell, knocked out. His arms wraped around a chair.
" Sir." The crew mate hesitated for a while, " He... uh, ate everything in out kitchen and killed three of our crew mates. "
For eating over half of their kitchen, Boogie was a skinny, small lad.
" Whaaaaa' ? " The large, smelly captain stopped laughing. " Well, you like ta eat do yeh? Well, I have sun-tin for ya. " A smile formed on his face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boogie awoke untied. In front of him was a large plate of a unknown meat. The captain was sitting next to him, with an equally large plate of the meat.
" If ya can finish that plate of meat before me, I'll let ya go!" The large pirate spat, then paused waiting for a response. He looked over at Boogie, then at his plate of food. It was bare. " Why you li-" He was interrupted with a sword through his heart. Boogie quickly got up, and killed the rest of the pirates with quickness and grace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Doo doo. Doo do do do doo.
The whistles came from the front of the ship. Boogie was steering the boat, almost to Scalus.
Solon heard a whistling noise in the distance. He looked over the horizon and saw a ship headed towards Scalus.
"Hm... That boat might work well as another distraction," Solon thought out loud.
Harver caught up, and looked towards Solon. He immediately frowned. "What's wrong?"
"That boat might make a good distraction..." Solon repeated. "But, I still need to find a good entrance into this castle."
"Hmm..." Harver quickly scanned the large fortress. "It seems heavily guarded. I can't seem to find a dece- aha! There." He pointed to a small crack in the fortress. "If I'm correct, that crack can easily be made into a hole with a well-aimed punch or sword strike, and we can proceed through there. Where it will lead, I don't know. But it seems to be our only choice. What do you think, captain?"
"I say you're taking too long," Jas smirks, then pulls out her nun chucks, the metal clinging together. She swings, then whips them out at the wall with speed and power.
Harver smiled. Heh... now there's two members of this gang that I can tolerate. She seems like she can take care of herself, and not get in others' way. That's good. Perhaps we can escape unscathed after all.
Solon snapped back to reality at the sound of the wall cracking and the metal.
"Yes, I'm sure no one heard that," Solon said sarcastically, being the first to step into the hole. The room inside was a dark chamber, it seemed to be a secondary room that wasn't used to much.
Harver was about to step in when he heard shouts.
"HEY, what's going on!?" "Siege?" "Look out!"
Crap. Harver thought. It seemed that they were going to be trapped. Harver drew his sword to protect them from being followed. If I die, at least I'll give them some time. "Hurry up!" Harver called to the others. "Get in the castle, get the gem, and get out! I'll try to hold the guards off!"
Solon looked back at Harver. Normally, he would have refused to leave Harver alone. But, another part of him was pulling him forward. A little voice in his head was telling him to keep going, just keep going... He couldn't tell what was making him not want to help, but he didn't like it. He looked back one more time. Six guards were there, half of them with guns. That's it. Harver needs help! Solon crawled out of the hole and took out his sword.
"I've got your back," he growled, looking at the soldiers.
Harver looked at him, a little confused. He wanted to say that he should go on, and help retrieve the gem... but that would make Harver dead. All he could do was smile and say, "Thanks." He turned his attention to the guards. "You ready?" He asked Solon. One of the guards raised his gun, prepared to fire.
"Well, doesn't this suck," said Venice at the sight of the soldiers. "Oh, well."
With that, he drew his knife and slit a nearby soldier's throat.
"I was born ready," replied Solon. "I've always wanted to say that." Then Solon took his grappling hook and hooked one of the soldier's drawn guns. He pulled the grappling hook back and the gun came with it.
"Thanks, mate," he thanked the soldier, then shot him.
"Heh. Good show." Time! He rushed towards one of the frozen soldiers. Time! He sliced open his chest, causing him to fall to the floor, dead.
"How'd he move so fast?" Harver shot the remaining soldiers a glare, and drew his blood stained sword, pointing it at them. The soldiers ran away. "Get reinforcements!"
Harver, still frowning, turned to Solon. "We need to hurry. They'll have stronger soldiers soon, and they'll definitely try to trap us. Let's go!"
Jas draws her blades, and slices a soldier as she runs by. "Ready!"
Venice stabbed another soldier. "I'm ready too."
Harver sweatdropped. "No need to kill them all. That just wastes time. Come on!"
Solon pocketed the gun and let the way back into the hole. He opened another door and it led into a dark hall.
"Right or left..." Solon mumbled. Solon began walking right. "Maybe we should split up?"

"If we split up, it might be difficult to find each other again. If we stay together, we might choose the wrong way and we'd all be dead," said Venice, thinking of it from a strategic standpoint. "I say split up. That way, we still have a chance if one group fails."
Harver began following Solon. "I want to go with you, since now I owe you one. You saved my ass back there. If I had been alone, I would be dead. Thanks. Now it's time for me to repay that debt."
He turned to face the group. "I also think we should split up. Solon, Jas and I should go right, while Venice, Nimbus and Kai go left. Sound good?"
Jas stops. "I'll take the left, we'll cover more ground, and we may find more useful things."
((Jas and Venice, interesting...))
"Yeah, cause Venice and Kai definitely need the extra member if they want to survive," teased Solon. "We'll meet back here in two hours. That should give us enough exploring time," Solon finished on a serious note. Then, he began walking through the dark tunnel-like hall.

OOC// WAIT. Who are the groups? Things are getting very confusing with everyone posting at once.
((Me and you are going right. Jas, Kai, and Venice are going left. Nimbus kind of... went somewhere after he led us to the castle. We'll just say he joined the distraction group or something...))

IC// Harver started to follow Solon, on the aware. Crap, I can't use the power of Emit like this, since it would leave Solon completely deserted... man, I hate the dark!

((Jas and Venice, interesting...))
((Uh... Yeah... Not yet... That'll come in time... Unless... Well... You'll see...))
Solon lit the lighter he had taken from Jas a long time ago.
"Now we can kind of see," Solon whispered, though the lighter didn't help the ominous feeling coming from deeper down the hallway.
((>.>))
Jas goes in the direction she said she was going in. "Come on..."
Harver breathed a sigh of relief. Now I can use it, but I have to remember that I'm limited. I can't continue doing it, or it will take a huge toll on my body... Harver's attention turned to something coming up down the corridor. "Hey, what's that?"
"Sh!" hissed Solon. He turned the lighter out and leaned up against the wall, pushing Harver into the position as well.
"What is it?" Harver whispered.

Jas goes in the direction she said she was going in. "Come on..."
Venice followed, his hands behind his head. "Lead the way, ma'am," he said, stressing the "ma'am" sarcastically.
"I don't know," Solon started. "Scalanders hate intruders, if that is one, we'll be surrounded before you can say "crap"!"
Jas rolls her eyes and ignores Venice, not wanting to waste time arguing. She takes out another small marble, and squeezes it. Enough light to let them see comes from it.
Harver sighed. It would suck to die right here, but then again, I need to reserve my power... crap, it looks like there's no choice.
"Wait here." Harver said, as he ventured a little further down the corridor.
((Isn't Kai still on the ship? Instead of letting him tag along while he's offline, why don't we just let him stay on the ship, and just have it be Venice and Jas on one group and Harver and Solon in the other?))
Solon hated being left behind, but he stayed where he was, listening for the movement of enemies...

((That's what I thought.))
Venice followed Jas silently.
TIME! Harver hurried back to Solon, snatched the lighter, and lit it. He ran down the corridor, and sure enough, four guard were hurrying down. However, they were frozen. It was then that he felt something at his mouth. His hand touched it, and looked to see a trickle of blood running down his chin. He quickly wiped the blood off, and drew his sword.
Time! His sword quickly slashed, and within moments, they were all dead on the ground. Short yelps rang through the narrow hall. He hurried back to Solon, and gave him the lighter. "Sorry, but I needed it. We should hurry."
Solon shook his head, he felt like he had been cramped in one position for a couple more seconds then he meant. Wondering what the hell happened he followed Harver.
"What the hell did you do back there?" Solon asked, noticing the dead bodies on the ground.
"Just using my time wisely." Harver simply put. No pun intended. He continued to walk.
OOC// Gotta go soon. Don't do too much when I'm gone!
((It's not obvious what he did? He used powers granted to him as an Emitter to freeze the soldiers and kill them. Judging from the fact that he "hates the dark" and needed the lighter to freeze them, I would wager that this ability requires some light to be effective. Bow before my logic.))

2) I have to say that part of your "logical" answer is WRONG! Congratulations: you have failed.
((I'll try to keep things slow. It seems like it's only our group posting, so it should be easy.))
Solon didn't ask anything else, he heard footsteps behind them. Then there was a gasp, "Four soldiers down!"
"Crap, we better hurry!" Solon put the light out and ran through the hall, instantly hitting a wall. "Ow..."
((I was frozen in time when he was doing that, so my mindset was standing still. One second I'm walking, next second he's running back over to me with the lighter.))
Jas stops something as the sound of heavy boots making contact with the ground can be heard. "Damnit," she grips her sword, then gets around a corner, hidden.

Venice hid in the shadows at well. Years of thieving had granted him sight in the darkness. If any soldiers came, they would fall to the ground, a dart embedded in their neck, poison dripping.
OOC// Ok, that's good.
IC// Crap! Harver thought. I'm in no condition to use the power of Emit again. Our only choice is to keep going! Harver looked over at Solon.
Solon got back up, rubbing his forehead, to see a light flashing nearby. The soldiers were coming with lanterns. Solon grabbed Harver and began tiptoeing through the new hall to the left.

Harver quickly sighed in relief, as he saw the soldiers go the opposite way of where they were going. The only problem was, they themselves did not have a clue where they were. It was by chance that he heard one of the soldiers say, "Let's make sure the item is still protected!" This perked Harver's interest.
"Let's follow them." He whispered to Solon.
((Good night!))

Solon nodded in obvious agreement. Perfect! They'll see the item is still there, we'll go in and take it, then we can sneak back out and be done. Solon thought. As long as we watch for any codes they put in, we'll be fine. Solon stealthily followed the soldiers without noise.
((See yah, later))
Jas hears the words 'girl' and 'jewel' mentioned as the soldiers she heard come into sight. She doesn't kill them, but stealthily follows them instead. They go down another corridor, Jas not too close behind.

Jas hears the words 'girl' and 'jewel' mentioned as the soldiers she heard come into sight. She doesn't kill them, but stealthily follows them instead. They go down another corridor, Jas not too close behind.
INtrigued, Venice stops himself from throwing the dart. He follows after Jas.
Harver followed Solon, just as stealthily. Eventually they came to a larger room, where the two guards they had been following walked up to a large screen. They rapidly punched in a series of numbers, and the screen split in half. Behind it was the gem. Harver cringed in pain, but kept it subtle.
Solon memorized the numbers they punched in.
1...6...4...5...8...9...1...2....3...4...7...8....9...5...4...6...1...
Then he beckoned Harver to follow him into a storage closet not too far off, where they could hide until the men left. After the men would leave, Solon would be able to re-punch the numbers so they could take the gem.
Harver, turned to Solon, and shook his head. He ran up to the two men, and sliced both of their throats. They were dead, and the gem was their's for the taking. "Sorry, I'm a bit impatient."
"No, wait," Solon hissed back. "Don't go any closer." As a theif Solon was more of the expert then Harver, and knew more about these contraptions. "You should have let them live. It might have given us some clue if there are any hidden alarms or if the gem is bugged."
Jas continues after the soldiers, noticing that it seems to be getting cooler as they travel underground. They lead the two to a large, open chamber. Before Jas can step inside, they seem to have disappeared.
Kai stood on the ship, "What the hell?" he guessed he would stand guard on the ship.

Ic// Nimbus followed them.
((Lanbar and Tanbar are out getting drunk, so they aren't in the castle, either.))
Lanbar and Tanbar were outside the bar, still drunk and surrounded by guards while there were other guards knocked out, there were many more still. One guard came running up to Tanbar and slashed at his head but Tanbar ducked and Lanbar came from behind and kicked at the soldier's head making him topple over Tanbar and fall to the ground unconsious.
"C'mon soldiers! We're the most feared country in the land and we can't even beat two drunkards?!?!? Pull out the guns!" The soldier presumed to be in comand said.
"Uh oh. -hic- They've got gunssss" Tanbar said.
"I don't give a -hic- DAMN!" Lanbar said running up to a soldier with a gun, the guy shot but Lanbar had fallen to the ground from the drunkness. Then Lanbar got his foot behind the soldier and kicked at where the knee was from behind making him fall to his knees. Tanbar came from behind and did a drop-kick to the soldier making him do a faceplant straight into the ground knocking him out.
"Alright, you all." The leader said to the soldiers. "OPEN FIRE!" They all began to start shooting at the stumbling brothers. However, due to their unpredictable movements, they kept missing and the bullets were accidentally hitting other soldiers, killing them.
A soldier came from behind Lanbar and hit him in the back with the gun. Lanbar fell over but caught himself on his hands and was now doing a hand-stand. "Alright. -hic- you asked for it." Lanbar then prodeeded to start kicking at the soldier repeatidly in the head until the soldier fell over. Tanbar then ran over to Lanbar and jumped onto his feet. Lanbar kicked his legs out making Tanbar fly up. Tanbar then fell onto at least 3 other soldiers, knocking them out. Eventually, the only one left not dead or unconsious was the leader.
"What? This...This is impossible. You guys are just two drunkards! How could you take out all my soldiers?" He said with his face turning red with anger.
"You see- hic-" Lanbar said.
"We have -hic- teamwork." Tanbar said.
"And you don't!" They both said in unison.
"Well...I may not have teamwork." He said with a laugh. "But I've got the biggest darn sword you'll ever see!" He said pulling out a sword that was just as big as he was. "Let's see your 'teamwork' beat this!" He swung the girgantic sword at both of them but they fell over onto their backs just in time to dodge the sword.
"Man, for a big- hic- ssssword like that, he'ssss pretty fast." Tanbar said.
"Big whoop. We can -hic- take him!" Lanbar said.

"No, wait," Solon hissed back. "Don't go any closer." As a theif Solon was more of the expert then Harver, and knew more about these contraptions. "You should have let them live. It might have given us some clue if there are any hidden alarms or if the gem is bugged."
"Then what's your idea now, captain?" Harver felt bad now. He had only tried to help, and it had made things worse.
Crap! Why did I kill them. I shouldn't have... what compelled me?
Ooc// BoA, when I'm not online you can control my charcter. ;)
Lanbar and Tanbar just then had become sober and stood up off the ground.
"Well...I guess we aren't drunk anymore." Lanbar said. "So let's turn this into a sword fight!" He pulled out his sword but then compared his sword to the leader's sword. Holy crap! That sword it REALLY big! "Tanbar, you stand back for this battle." He said winking to him.
"Okay, alright." He said taking a step back with a smile on his face knowing exactly what would happen.
"Fool! You think you can take me all alone?" The leader said giveing a big deep laugh.
"Hey, it did only take me and my brother to defeat your entire 'army.'" Lanbar said as a comeback. "And to add to that, we were drunk!"
"Grrrah!" He swung his sword at Lanbar quickly but he jumped back to dodge it. Lanbar lunged at him and hit him with his sword but it just bounced off.
"Woah! What the hell?" Lanbar said astonished that the sword did nothing to him.
"I've got re-inforced armor under this shirt. There's no way you're going to get past it!" He said giving an over-head swing of his sword. Lanbar jumped out of the way and when the sword hit the concrete ground, the concrete was basically obliterated.
Oh poop! Now I really don't want to get hit! Lanbar's legs were shaking from the impact of the sword.
Ooc// What should I do?! :(

Ooc// What should I do?! :(
Occ// Join me in being the distraction! :D
Ic// Nimbus decided to sneak back out and help with the distraction.
Once out he went to find Tanbar and Lanbar.
Nimbus got to the sscene, and was shocked at what he saw.
Then he saw the leader with the giant sword.
He vaguely recognized him. Nimbus pulled out his sword and rushed the man.
Lanbar was struggling to dodge each new sword attack.
"C'mon, you sure you don't want your brother's help?" He said continuing to slash at him until Lanbar was up against a wall.
"I don't need any help!" Lanbar said pinned up against the wall. Who am I kidding. I need a MIRACLE now!
Nimbus swung his sword at the man's back.
The man turned around swinging his sword at Nimbus. Lanbar saw his chance and ran back over to Tanbar. "Nimbus, come over here!" Lanbar shouted.
Nimbus dodged just in time, and ran over to Lanbar.
"Alright, Tanbar, you know what the plan is. Nimbus, what's going to happen is that I'm going to go 'one on one' however, I'm going to spice things up with a smoke bomb. That's when you two come in and help. He won't know what's going on and still think he's fighting me!" Lanbar said to them making sure the leader was at bay. "So let's do this." Lanbar jumped back over to the leader. "Alright. Let's make this more fun!" He took a smoke ball and threw it at the ground and a puff of smoke shrouded the area, only shadows could be seen.
"So you think this will help you? I can still see your shado-" He was interupted by a strike from behind. He quickly spun around.
"I'm sorry, what were you saying?" Tanbar said in a voice almost like Lanbar's.
"Wait...How'd you get here so fast? No matter!" He swung at Tanbar but he jumped out of the way and was hit from the side.
"C'mon, are you really that slow?" Lanbar said.
How can this lousy pirate be so fast? He swung at him again only to miss.
Lanbar ran over to Nimbus was and whispered to him. "So you get the idea of what we're doing?"
((Alright, guess I'll be Nimbus for a second :P))
Nimbus nodded, deciding not to speak since he didnt have a voice like Lanbar or Tanbar. He jumped up and struck a blow with his hilt at the leader's head. The giant sword scraped the side of his arm, and he winced, but the blade didn't go in.
((Back to my character))
Solon thought for a moment. "I'm not sure... Wait!" Solon grabbed a walkie talkie from one of the soldiers and said in a deep voice, "We need someone to check the jewel, make sure it's not a fake, we suspect someone's trying to steal it! Me and some others are going the opposite way to see if we can cut them off! Over." An agreement then came from the other line.
"C'mon, lets hide in the closet!"
"I hope no one makes a joke about this later." Harver muttered as he joined Solon.
Lanbar swung at the leader and met with his sword.
"Ha! Now I've got you. No escaping this!" He moved his sword and took Lanbar's sword.
"Uh oh. now I'm DEFENCELESS." he said as if to signal Tanbar.
Tanbar saw this and swung his sword at the leader's neck which was where the armor was weak. Although it wasn't a deep cut, it was a cut none the less.
"Gah! So the other two of you WERE fighting after all." He said holding his neck. "Well...this isn't the last you've seen of me, General Zaroff!" He then jumped high up and escaped back toward the castle.
"Lanbar..."
"Yes?"
"Did he just say his name was..."
"Yes...Yes he did."
"That was Zaroff!?!!?" Last we saw him, he was a wanna-be pirate!" Tanbar shouted.
"I...I know." Lanbar said as the fog cleared the way. "Wait! He's heading toward the castle where the others are! We need to get going! I know that Zaroff has other tricks up his sleeves that they don't know about."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Tanbar said as he started to run after Zaroff. And Lanbar, after a little delay, started to run too.
"Oh they won't," growled Solon, patting his sword and new gun. Then he heard footsteps coming up and two soldiers walked into the room. One of them went all the way around the gem, staying 10 feet away, and went up to the wall. He pressed one of the particularly bumpy bricks and the brick flipped over to show a control pad. Solon could see through the crack that the man was typing in more numbers. Suddenly, the red alarm lines showed. He pressed some more buttons and they deactivated.
"We've got a minute to check it," grunted one soldier. They took it out and looked it over.
"Gah! It's a fake!" the other gasped. "Plastic!"
"dang it! There have been intruders after all!" the other one yelled. Then they stormed out of the room. Solon waited a few seconds before coming out of the closet ((*ahem...*)), he had a shocked look on his face.
"S...Someone got here first?"
"What the...?" Harver started. "Who? And how? It couldn't have been Jas, since she went the other way..." He paused to think.
OOC// Guys! This topic is now the tenth highest topic in terms of replies! Let's keep this RP going strong!
"Wait, do you think the Dead Men never got the jewel after all? Do you think they've been following Jas, waiting to steal it... And when they found out it was here, they beat us to the punch?" Solon gasped. "That means Scalus and the Dead Men have been trying to get this gem!"
Tanbar and Lanbar were now following Zaroff down the chambers of the castle. You know, I never remembered Zaroff being so strong. Last time I saw him, he relied on cheap tricks and couldn't lift a sword as light as a feather...Could his strenght be from the jewel? Lanbar couldn't figure out why he had become so strong but something was telling him it had something to do with the jewel.
"Scalus - the largest nation in terms of military defense - and the Dead Men, working together?" Harver was extremely confused. "That would be the worst possible outcome. However, I think I have an idea of what's going on. Scalus is a strong nation, but is filled with pig-headed scoundrels. The Dead Men probably tricked them into thinking that if they worked together, they could overpower every nation here!
"However, the Dead Men probably said this as a lie, and only to gain more power to get the gem. And if the gem isn't here, that must mean..." He gulped, afraid. "...the Dead Men already have the gem. It was a trick, and we fell for it."
Solon nodded. "Which means that any power gotten from the gem here and Scalus will soon be leaving. They no longer have the gem to harness it," Solon added. "But, we better find the others and get out of here! We have to find the Dead Men before anything else happens." Solon was dissapointed they had to leave Scalus, but he'd have plenty of time after getting the gem to go back...
Nimbus went along with lanbar and Tanbar. Silently following.

Solon was dissapointed they had to leave Scalus, but he'd have plenty of time after getting the gem to go back...
"heh heh heh..." Came a deep voice. "Scalus may not have the jewel...But I do!" Zaroff said holding out the jewel. He then put it back into his chest pocket. "You are right that the Dead Men want this jewel but I got it before they did! Now everyone will bow before my might!" Zaroff said.
"Careful guys, this guy is REALLY strong." LAnbar came in saying out of breath.
Occ// I g2g guys. See you later!
Harver stepped forward. "Sorry, but that's not the gem you're holding."
Solon gave Harver a sideways glance.
"Have you seen it before?" Solon asked. He hadn't, so he didn't know what it looked like.
Nimbus came in after them.
"That's a rock, with less powers than the actual gem." Harver simply put. I've only got one shot at this, so I need to play my cards right.
"Alright then," Solon replied, stretching. "Well, guy with powers, where are the Dead Men now?" Solon asked.
"It's Zaroff!" growled the man. "And last I heard they were at N... Nowhere. I killed every last one of them!"
N... Nimbuslus Land! Harver thought with joy. "So you think you can take me on, one on one?" Harver asked confidantly, stepping forward.
Zaroff laughed. "I could take you all on." He pulled out his sword that was practically bigger then him and was about to swipe when he remembered what happened last time.
"Oh no, this happened to me once before. I'm not fighting you one on one. That just happened to me five minutes ago!" Instead... he pulled out a gun and aimed it at Harver. "Drop your weapons!" he barked.
Now! He saw Zaroff fire the bullet, since he took his ready position. Time! The bullet stopped an inch away from his face. "That was close." He walked over to Zaroff, took the gem, and placed his sword over his heart. Time! Time resumed, and Zaroff was going to walk right into the blade...
Nimbus was about to step in when all of a sudden he blacked out. When he woke up he saw Zaroff walk right into his sword!
What.....happened?!
The blade hit Zaroff's armour, and Zaroff quickly jumped back.
"What the hell?" he cried out. "Now, I'm ang-" he curled his fist where his gem was supposed to be. "You took my gem!" He began running at Harver, enraged.
While all that was happening, Solon had made a hole in the roof using his sword. It led to a well lit room.
"Up here!" he yelled, bringing his grappling hook down so they could climb up it.
Harver began to cough up blood. I used it too much. He sidestepped Zaroff's attack, barely missing. The gem could help. He felt the power of the gem well up inside him. Emit, give me strength! He raised his sword - now glowing with blue - to confront his attacker.
((The gem was really a rock with some power right, not the real one?))

((The gem was really a rock with some power right, not the real one?))
((Who knows? I could have been telling the truth, or I could have been lying the entire time. Harver is an interesting character.
j/k. It's not the gem that the Dead Men were after, but it still has some power. It will come into play later.))
((I think you should've been tellin the truth. I want the Dead Men to have been smart enough to execute the plan. I mean... Zaroff seems dumb, how could he beat them >.>?))
Solon knew he shouldn't leave the others behind, but there were some important things he had to do... His mind was conflicted. Leave? Stay? Leave? Stay? He looked down the hole he made to see the fight going on, just to get an idea of how long it would be.
OOC// Wait. Who's controlling Zaroff?
((Anyone who wants to... I will, since fighting yourself would be weird))
Zaroff looked at the glowing sword and stepped back, but then took his gun out and shot at Harver.
Harver barely dodged the bullet, and began panting heavily. Damn! I have to finish him off quickly. The gem and the Power of Emit are taking a lot out of me. He rushed towards Zaroff, and made a couple of quick slashes at his chest.
Nimbus came behind Zaroff and and slashed at him with his sword.
((This just got really weird... Also, LIGHTNINGSWORD and BoA, prepare for lots of "closet" jokes...))
((You weren't there, unless we talk about it, how would you know? :P))
Zaroff's armor, although weakened, saved him from the shots. He then began spinning around, sticking his giagantic sword out, making it dangerous to get close.

((I is psychic! JK, I'll do it out of character!))
((Damn, I thought I found a way around the jokes!))
Solon was done watching the battle. He had places to be, and it looked like Harver wouldn't be able to stand much more. Solon hopped from the hole, while Zaroff was spinning out of control. He threw his grappling hook at him, and it caught onto Zaroff's shirt. Zaroff was still spinning with the rope going around him, until he completely tied himself up in the grappling hook. Zaroff was dizzy and confused.
"What the hell just happenend?" he panted, trying to get his vision back. Solon walked up to him and pointed the gun to the side of his face.
"Hasta la vista, baby." Next second there was a gunshot and Zaroff lay dead on the floor. Solon unraveled the grappling hook and put his items away. "Now that that's over with, I say we check out Nimbuslus Land."

((A "nimbus" is a type of cloud. After reading the first post, the name "Nimbuslus" and the cloud type "Nimbus" must've stuck in your subconscious. Then, when you signed up, the factors shown above stuck and provided you with inspiration, causing you to use the name "Nimbus" for your character.))

OOC// All I know is some guy called Zaroff attacked the group in the castle and is now dead. Now Harver, Lanbar, Tanbar, Nimbus, and Solon have to get Venice, Kai, Jas, adn anyone else, and sail to Nimbuslus.
OoC// K, thanks!

"Look out below!" Boogie screamed, as the ship crashed into the land. The boat was destroying the land, as it crashed into a castle.

OOC/ No problem.
IC// As Venice followed Jas, the soldiers disappeared. Before he could ponder this for too long, the castle shook as if a boat had crashed into it. "What the-?!" he cried.
The castle bricks began to crumble all around.
"Take cover!" shouted Solon, diving as a particularly big brick almost toppled him. It seemed one whole side of the castle was breaking into pieces. Solon looked up to see a boat halfway through the castle wallls. "This day keeps on getting weirder and weirder..." Atleast Jas and Venice are okay. The boat only hit this side... Solon walked over to the boat, which was completely wrecked.
"Who the hell is driving that thing!?" Solon yelled up to the ship, wondering if he should take out his sword or not.
"Hiho cherrio!" Boogie screamed down, as he jumped down from the wreckage.
He looked around at everyones puzzled faces. He turned around and looked up at the wall.
" Woh, what happened here?" He asked, sarcastically.
"Eh, it's just a scratch," Solon joked back. "So... Who are you?"
" Me... I'm..." He paused about five seconds to think. " I'm Captain BlueButt MaGee, captain o' this ship. And I'm hungry! Got any grub around this place?"
Solon shrugged. "I don't know. This is the castle of Scalus, so they probably do," Solon replied. "But, Scalanders hate intruder so-"
"Hey, the noise came from here!" yelled a soldier, running into the room with a gun.
"INTRUDERS!" another one cried, looking at all of the people and the giant boat.
" Hey everyone. Check out the funny man with the gun." Boogie sat down, laughing.
The soldier got angry. "What did you say?" he yelled. He aimed a bullet and shot it. It whizzed right past Solon who jumped out of the way, heading towards Boogie.
Ching.
In a flash of white light, Boogie pulled out his sword, and blocked the bullet. He continued to laugh.
"Kai's going to love this guy..." whispered Solon. He aimed his gun and shot one of the soldiers in the head. The other soldier shot at Solon, who barely dodged the bullet, then sliced the soldier's neck with his sword. After wiping off the blood he said to his friends, "We better go find Jas and Venice before they find trouble... Or trouble finds them." He looked over at Boogie. "You can come if you want, I guess."
"Omkily Domkily. " Boogie muttured, and began to roll behind Solon.
((Someone tell me what happened plz?))
Ooc// A guy called Zaroff attacked us, we killed him, and now Boogie arrived, and more soldiers are attacking. :)
Ic// Nimbus was chuckling at Boogie's antics.
He then followed the group out.

OoC// Eeeew... did you just say 'plz'? Come on...

I broke the castle wall with my ship.
((plzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzmuthafriggin'plz :P))
Soldiers land in front of Jas, obviously ambushing her. "Damnit!" They shoot, she rolls out of the way, and behind two of them. In a split second, the tip of her blades can be seen sticking through their chests, and they fall.

Venice took out his knife and slit the throats of three more soldiers before whirling around and stabbing another.
((We found out the gem had already been stolen, the one we were pursuing was a fake. Zaroff claimed to have it, but Harver said it was a mock up. I killed Zaroff, then Boogie came along and broke the wall with his ship, and now my team is looking for you and Venice so we can get out of here))
Solon heard the sound of fighting farther down the dark hallway. They must be farther down there... Solon thought, begining to run down the hall.
Nimbues cut down a couple more soldiers, and followed Solon.
Venice turned around and saw the others. "Hi guys!" he said as he slashed at another soldier.
((Ok))
Jas kicks a soldier in the chin, then slices another taking aim at her in the abdomen.

Jas kicks a soldier in the chin, then slices another taking aim at her in the abdomen.
Venice sat down and waited for Jas to finish her killing spree. As more soldiers approached, he slashed their ankles, bringing them to the ground. He would then finish them off with a stab through the heart.
Solon shot down a few more with his gun.
"Hey, we're heading out of here in a bit. Soon as we find the exit," Solon informed then, slicing the last guy's throat with his sword.
"Is that all? Can we leave now?"
"Yeah, you guys ready?" Solon replied. They all had their fair share of injuries. Solon had a few bruises and cuts, but other then that is seemed that all of them were going to get out of here alive.
"Yeah let's go."
Nimbus had quite a ew bruises and scratches, but that was it.
Jas flicks the blood off her swords. "Lets go."
"Well, I think we should leave from that big hole in the wall," Solon said, since it was the obvious and easiest way out.
Jas was already at the gap in the wall. "Naw really?" she asks sarcastically. "How else are we gonna get out without a poopload of trouble?"
Solon sighed and followed her out. "Nothing's impossible," he said.
Harver quickly followed, with the false Gem tucked away in his pocket.
" Weeeee!" Boogie ran along with everyone, holding his arms out like a plane.
Harver gave Boogie a glare. "Must we be so immature?"

" Must we be so immature? " Boogie mocked, sticking his tounge out.
Solon stopped dead in his tracks, memories rushing through him.
"Don't..." Solon started, but shook his head. Ignore it... He told himself. Control your mood for once...
Harver ignored the childlike person, and decided it would be best to press on, and worry about the kid later.
Lanbar and Tanbar had already ran onto the ship to leave the place. While doing that, they were having their own private conversation.
"So, do you think that Zaroff is really dead?" Tanbar asked.
"Knowing him, no. He probably had some sort of trick up his sleeve that we didn't see." Lanbar said. "He'll be back. I can just tell."
Solon led the group back onto the ship, seeing Tanbar and Lanbar were already there.
"Hey guys," Solon greeted, leaning against the railing. He was wiped out from the days events. He yawned and said, "So, can we turn this ship down to Nimbuslus Land?"

"Nimbuslus Land it is then." Tanbar said walking over to the wheel. "Anchors lifted? Mast up?"
"Yes and yes." Lanbar said.
"Alright then, let's get going." Tanbar turned the wheel and the ship left the land of Scalus and was headed toward the whirl current to get to Nimbuslus Land.
" Do you have any food on this ship?" Boogie screamed over to the person controlling the ship.
Harver pulled out the gem, which everyone thought was false. Of course, it was the false gem, but that didn't mean that it still had powers, unknown to the rest of the members. So this is the Gem of Emit... how did the Dead Men not know that? And which gem do they have? Even I can't know that... Harver sighed. Looks like it's nothing but rough sailing ahead. But I have to be optimistic. Harver reached to his mouth to see that the bleeding from earlier had stopped.
Harver looked in surprise at the person. "And who said you could join us?"

((Wait, where'd you go? I must of skipped over that part...))
Solon growled at Boogie. "Seriously, I'll throw you off this ship if you don't calm down. If not me, then Kai will..." Solon looked guiltily at Harver. "Heh, I told him he could follow us if he wanted to..."
"Joy. Another pain in the neck. The idiot who never shuts up and a guy who insults me and wants to fight for no good reason." Harver sighed again. Why me?
"So...where do you think Zaroff might be now?" Lanbar said to Tanbar.
"Only the gods would know at this point." Tanbar said.
"Hey, you choice to join our motely crew," pointed out Solon. Then he looked off into the distance. "Great, a few more miles and we'll be hitting the Whirl Channel."
"Hmm..." Harver went inside quickly, and put his gem in a drawer in the Men's Quarters for safe keeping. He returned outside to look for when they would hit the Whirl Channel.
Boogie frowned. He was bored. He was hungry. Two things that didn't mix well with Boogie. He got up, and snuck to the back of the ship, in search of food.
Jas is standing against a rail, looking out at the water.
Lanbar saw Boogie and followed him to the back of the ship. Lanbar spoke, "What are you doing sneaking around on MY-"
"OUR!" Tanbar interupted.
"Fine. OUR ship?" Lanbar said.
Harver joined Jas, wanting to relax. "So, why did you join Solon?"

Solon began climbing the mast of the ship, till he made it to the top. Then he jumped onto the look out post. "Land, hoy!" he called out, although all he could see of Nimbuslus Land was a thin line over the horizon. "Sorta," he added.
((YAY for me joining this RP! :D...And I guess we jumped past going along the whirl current didn't we. >_>;))
"Land hoy!" Tanbar repeated after Solon. "You know, I don't think I've ever been to Nimbuslus Land."
((Well, I was just saying that because I could see it way back in the distance. Like when you see land on the other side of the ocean.))
"Looking for food" Boogie said calmly.
Jas looks at Harver. "Why I'm here? I'm looking for the jewel they stole from me."
"Oh..." Lanbar said. "You could have just asked you kno-" He was cut off by the boat getting onto the whirl current. The sudden shift of speed almost made him fall off the ship. He was handing over the side of the ship. "Gee. Thanks for the warning!" He said sarcastically at his brother.
"Sorry, I guess I got lost in my thoughts." He said giving a shy shrug.

Jas looks at Harver. "Why I'm here? I'm looking for the jewel they stole from me."
"I see." Harver looked out at the waves slowly hitting the ship's side. "So they were the only people you could team up with at the time?"
((Yeah, suure. You know the real reason is my charm that compelled you to come aboard with me.))
Solon slid down the post. "We're about to enter the Whirl Channel," Solon told Jas and Harver. I'd suggest going to the center of the ship and-" the ship began going at super fast speeds, it send Solon lurching over the railing, and he grabbed onto it, dangling above the ocean. "hanging on to something..." Solon finished after they went through the channel.
Venice had been sleeping against the mast and hit his head on the railing as the rocking of the boat caused him to slide in that direction. He held onto the rail to stay on the ship.
Lanbar saw Solon hanging over the rails too. "So...how're you doing?" He said.
"Oh, you know, the usual. Just hanging around," Solon joked back, pulling himself up.
"That... was interesting." Harver said, his body flat on the ground. He slowly sat up, and got to his feet. "So, we're here. And the Dead Men should be here somewhere as well."
"Gah, no bad puns!" cried Venice, who was hangin on to the same rail.
"You're just jealous because I'm funnier then you," Solon replied, holding out a hand in case Venice needed help getting up.
Lanbar pulled himself up too. "Well...We're here." He said. "Where do you think that the real jewel might be?"
Tanbar placed a board at the dock so they could get off. "You know...Who are the Dead Men anyways? I thought they were just some sort of mythical group."
"That's three people who knew about the Dead Men before me," Solon counted. "Apparently I'm behind the times." Solon walked off the ship, looking at the mountainous region of Nimbuslus land.
Harver stared at Tanbar, quizzically. "You've heard of them?"
"Well...you know. I heard of them from time to time and THEN I hear you talk about it so now I really want to know." He said.
Lanbar walked over and also spoke. "Yeah, I've been hearing of these dead people too. Who are they?
Venice grabbed the hand and got up. "Thanks," he said. "And if you thought that was funny, you're deluded."
"Well the Dead Men... ((insert everything we currently know about the Dead Men here))... and so we think they are the ones with the gem."
"Yay! We're here! " Boogie exclamed. " Is anyone else hungry? My treat!" He pulled out a bag of money he stole from the ship he crashed in the castle.
Solon thought back to his dream. There was a dead person speaking to him... But, the person had told him to get the gem back. Why would a Dead Man tell him to take the gem from his own group? If it was a dream from one of the Dead Men... Could it have been a trap? But, they said one of them would die, did they really mean all of them, or was it the truth? The dream had been so real, Solon had no other leads, so he'd have to trust it. But who could be the one to die? Solon thought he knew.
Solon snapped back to reality when Venice started talking to him. "Deluded?" Solon repeated. Yes, that's it... I should just forget about that dream...
"Hm...that's interesting. Oh and just so you know, you may have shot Zaroff back at Scalus but something tells me that he's still alive." Said Tanbar.
"It may seem unlikely, but I'm pretty sure he is alive." Lanbar added on to what Tanbar said.

"Oh, so you're admitting it?" said Venice drily, for he had not been informed of the Dead Men or any of that stuff. He was just in it for the jewel. And any money that could be made on the way.
"Well...When we last saw him before the encounter in Scalus, he was nothing like he was when you guys saw him." Tanbar started.
"He was a scrawny little guy and couldn't lift a small sword if he tried! He relied on other people and cheep tactics to take people down." Lanbar continued.
"He and Lanbar had become arch rivals from sailing the sea. But that jewel has completely changed him." Tabar said.
"Zaroff would have never of joined the Scalus army! Something must have happened when he used the power of that jewel." Lanbar finished.
"And that's what we know about him." They both said in unison."

"Can't be the jewel. It's a fake." Harver ran inside and grabbed the gem he had stolen from Zaroff. "See? It's not the same. Though it does have some powers, it wouldn't be able to transform someone like you just described. You sure they're the same person?"
"Well, it seems he was bad to begin with. But I wonder what would happen if a good guy got their hands on that gem... What did we do with it, anyway?" Solon asked.
He then turned over to Jas and Harver's conversation. "That's not true, Jas. No one insisted you come along. You got shot in the leg, what was I supposed to do? Leave you there to die?"
OoC// I'm getting off after this post.
IC// "Uuuh... I'm gonna get going guys" Boogie said loud over the chatter. " I'm hungry and gonna get something to eat" He walked off.
Harver only glared at him as he left. Good riddance.
OOC// Bye. And congrats on the rank-up!
((Cya around))
"Nimbuslus land is the main producer of wine and fruit," Solon stated. "What a great place for Lanbar and that guy."

Jas looks at Harver. "Why I'm here? I'm looking for the jewel they stole from me."
"I see." Harver looked out at the waves slowly hitting the ship's side. "So they were the only people you could team up with at the time?"
"I could've went on my own," Jas says. "But they insisted on coming with."
"Ah, I see." Harver smiled. "Otherwise, I would have asked why you were traveling with these wise guys. Other than Solon, these people are off the hook. I'm barely able to withstand some of them."
"They're not bad," Jas glances back. "Not as bad as you're saying..."

"Well...When we last saw him before the encounter in Scalus, he was nothing like he was when you guys saw him." Tanbar started.
"He was a scrawny little guy and couldn't lift a small sword if he tried! He relied on other people and cheep tactics to take people down." Lanbar continued.
"He and Lanbar had become arch rivals from sailing the sea. But that jewel has completely changed him." Tabar said.
"Zaroff would have never of joined the Scalus army! Something must have happened when he used the power of that jewel." Lanbar finished.
"And that's what we know about him." They both said in unison."
"Can't be the jewel. It's a fake." Harver ran inside and grabbed the gem he had stolen from Zaroff. "See? It's not the same. Though it does have some powers, it wouldn't be able to transform someone like you just described. You sure they're the same person?"
"Yeah, that's GOT to be Zaroff. I'd recognize that face and voice anywhere." Lanbar said confidently. "He must have gotten his hands on the REAL jewel sometime or another because there's no other way he could have become so strong in such a quick time!"

"Nimbuslus land is the main producer of wine and fruit," Solon stated. "What a great place for Lanbar and that guy."
Lanbar spun around when Solon mentioned this. "Really? Then why are we lingering around on this ship? Let's go!"
Harver turned to Jas, and smiled in defeat. "You've known 'em more than me, so you should know. Sorry for attacking them, then."
"You've known me for as long as them, and I stole from you, so I should be the one you'd hate more then the others, who've done nothing," Solon pointed out.
((I'm a Noki... I've lost my favorite rank... But then again, I'm closer to my next favorite: Dijinni!))
((Okay, stop with the oblivious thing))
"It's alright," Jas then laughs a bit. "I mean to me, some of the things they do are entertaining..."
"Yeah." Harver said, calmly. "I suppose it's all in the timing."
((Heh, heh. Okay, consider the oblivious thing ended... It's getting old anyway. I don't really think your character is oblivious anymore.))
"I wonder what's on the top of the mountain," Solon wondered out loud. Solon was bored, so he decided he'd climb the mountain for some fun.
((I g2g, ping pong time!))
Harver quickly followed Solon. "Have you lost sight of our goals?"
Quote from: Dr.Hobo2 on December 22, 2007, 09:12:07 PM
((I g2g, ping pong time!))
((Bye? Wait, ping pong time? I love ping pong... Lucky.
Jas walks after them, wondering what they're talking about.
((I didn't know there was a specific time for ping pong. Cya))
"Consider them lost," Solon replied, starting to climb the first section of the mountain. There were plenty of footings and he made it to the first ledge with ease.
Harver sighed and returned to the ship. Guess I should harness the power I have... and give thanks to Emit... He stood out on the deck, went to the railing, and looked out to the ocean.
And so we go.
"Always gotta do something you know you ain't got no business doing..." Jas looks up at Solon, then climbs after him.
"Hey, you're coming along," Solon pointed out to Jas.
Solon made it up to the second ledge of the mountain, but slipped and began to fall down. He shot out his grappling hook and threw it on the third ledge, and used it to gain balance and climb up. Three down, twelve more to go... With his trusty grappling hook, he made it up the next five with ease. But then he decided to make it more challenging, and put the grappling hook away.
Solon finally ended up on the last ledge. He was so close to the peak... Sure he had slipped and fallen plenty of times, but something had urged him to get to the top of the mountain. It was like a sixth sense. Finally, Solon climbed to the very peak. When he hit, what was supposed to be the flat ground of the peak, he only felt air and felt himself falling through a dark hole.
"Whoa!" he cried out, falling through the pit.
Harver closed his eyes with the gem in his hand, and then found himself falling through the same pit as Solon. "What the-?!"
"How the hell did you get over here?" Solon called out. But before he could hear the answer he hit the ground, and hard. Next second, he blacked out.
"Damnit, you always gotta- ghh..." Jas looks down into the pit. "Baka! It's probably a volcano or something!" She pulls something out, and throws it at the side of the pit. After pulling on the rope that extended from it, she descends into it.
Venice watched them all, chuckling inwardly.
"I don't really know..." Harver said. He rushed over to Solon's body, but then paused. How the hell am I uninjured? What the... He looked over to the gem, still in his hand. He put it in his pocket. Harver then looked around the pit they were in. It seemed to be a large circle, with nowhere to go but up. He looked to see Jas. "Thank God you're here. Solon's out cold."
((I was thinking this could be the Dead Men's lair.
I'm so smart, you guys are probably wondering how I come up with this stuff :P))
((Not really. :P))
Jas pulls the rope back to her, but doesn't put it away. She kneels by Solon. "Prone to falling from high places," and she starts to lift him up.
"Not so fast," echoed a voice. The top of the peak closed, leaving them trapped. "First, we must talk."
Jas mintains her hold on Solon, but a hand reaches for one of her swords.
"I said talk," the voice repeated. "We have matters to discuss."
Venice saw Jas's hand drift to her sword and knew something was wrong. He ran up to the others. "What's going on?" he asked.
((You do realize we are inside the mountain, right? Or did you come along as well?))
"What matters?" Jas asks coldly, hand not letting go of the weapon.
"Have you already forgotten your purpose for this journey?" the deep voice asked.

((You do realize we are inside the mountain, right? Or did you come along as well?))
(um.. Just say I came along and sort of sat there and watched.))
"I didn't forget anything... What's my business got to do with you?" Jas glances around.
Harver stood by Jas, ready to back her up if trouble came.
"Keep your tone light. There is nothing to fear... yet," replied the voice. "Why have you come to Nimbuslus Land in search of your jewel?"
"Isn't it obvious? You said it yourself. It's her jewel, therefore, she would probably go after it."
"I am asking why you have chosen Nimbuslus Land, out of all the other possiblities," restated the voice.
"It could be anywhere..." Jas remains tense.
((g2g sleepy))
{{Bye.}}
"We don't now the gem's location. Therefore, we comb each country in the search, until it is found."
((CYa))
"Ah, but you came here. And if I recall correctly, it was from the hint of a man named Zaroff, but you two weren't there for that, who was shortly after killed by someone," the voice replied. "Could it be because someone didn't want anyone knowing where the jewel was hidden? And then, that same someone led you here, into the depths of this mountain. You can't stand there and say that this certain someone had no idea what was going to happen, and just decided to climb a giant mountain for the hell of it?
"I am here to help you and show you the truth. When you piece all of the clues together, there is no doubt who the real theif is. Why, he was born a theif to begin with, with a clan to follow him. All he needed to do was get his clan members to steal the gem, and come take it after disposing of all of you. Quite simple, really. Now, think back on all the events you have expierenced. Who seems to be the obvious choice to fit my descriptions?" the voice finished.

"Well, as you say 'thief' and I know it's not me, the obvious choice would be..." Venice started. Then he realized where this was going. "Solon?!"
Ooc// You guys had fun last night........So, are you on Nimbuslus land?
((Holy Crap, summary please))
((Okay, summary for the both of you: After finding out that the gem they were tracking down was a fake, they got a hint from some evil guy named Zaroff, who Solon soon killed, that the gem was really in Nimbuslus Land. So, the ship ride was uneventful, and they got to the very mountainous land of Nimbuslus. Lanbar and Tanbar are out getting drinks, Solon (being the idiot that he is), decides to climb to the top of the mountain for the hell of it, and Jas follows. When he gets to the top, a hole opens up and he falls through a black pit.
Meanwhile... Harver is tinkering with the Emit gem (no one else knows that's what it is, yet), yet somewhat powerful, and teleports down the falling pit Solon is going through. He lands softly on the ground (thanks to the gem) but Solon gets knocked out from the huge drop. Jas goes down on a rope, ready to take us back up, but a voice closes the peak up so we are stuck. Venice followed unannounced and slipped down the rope before the peak closed.
There is also the conversation, which really is only a page, so you guys can read that if you want. I don't really want to make this summary too long, but I'm bad at short summarys >.>... Anyway, I'd suggest getting off the ship and looking for Lanbar and Tanbar or something.))
((Also, I left the group. I wasn't with it long, but whatever. Boogie was hungry!))
Ooc// Thanks.
Ic// Nimbus got off the ship to look for the twins.
((Oh yeah, instead of finding the twins you could run into Boogie :P))

((Oh yeah, instead of finding the twins you could run into Boogie :P))
(( Yes, you could.
Also: BoA, what time does this RP take place? Like, do CD/MP3 players exist?
((The setting is Medieval, sorta, since there are castles and swords, but basic electronics like television and iPods etc. are around. Also, even more complicated items like that marble Jas has and these gems we are trying to get.
Which gives me an idea... There should be a gem for each place.
Crescent Gem- A crescent shaped silver gem.
Emit Gem- (the one we have).
Cloud Gem- A pure white and cloud shaped gem.
Scale Gem- A scaly and sharp red gem.
Then there is the one we are looking for... The gem that you need to harness the power of all the gems. With all the gems, you get invincibility. And, Scalus is looking for them so they can become immortal and take over the entire planet Vulcum, but we've gotta find all of them first, or something. I already have a story for the Crescent Gem, so leave that one to me.))
Ooc/The Cloud Gem would be in Nimbuslus, correct?
((Maybe... Scalus had that Emit gem, so who knows where the Cloud gem went... But that was where it originated. I was thinking that the guy we are talking to, instead of having Jas's gem, has the Cloud gem. And that's when we figure out about all the gems and what Scalus is planning. Or not, it's just a suggestion.))
((That gem of all gems would be the one that belongs to Jas', right? Makes sense.))
Jas bites her lower lip. "You could be lying..."
((Yep, that'd be the one. Man, where do I come up with this stuff :P?))
Solon hearded muffled voices all around him. He kept his eyes closed tight, clinging onto the best dream... His parents had still been alive, talking to him. They had told him how proud they were, that they thought he was doing the right thing. He had felt so good, knowing that maybe he was on the right track after all. But then, they began to fade, giving him an ominous warning he ignored, too busy calling their names out, wanting them back.
Then, he heard Jas's voice more clearly, "You could be lying..."
Then a deeper voice replied, "Yes, I could be lying. But, the facts all lead straight to one man. You can either stay here, oblivious to it, or eliminate the problem."
Kai stood on the ship "Where is everyone? there should have been here by now'
Ooc/ I like the idea.
"I can pay attention to the facts," Jas says growling. "But I'm not gonna kill Solon!"
"We may not have a choice," said Venice quietly.
Solon snapped his eyes open when he heard that part of the conversation. He looked up to see Jas, and quickly jumped away from here.
"K-Kill me?" Solon stuttered. He quickly collapsed back down, and realized he couldn't feel one of his legs. Crap, I might die here...
"But it can be anyone else that comes along," Jas shakes her head. "Facts don't always tell the truth!"
"No. Facts tell nothing but truth."
"No..." That's all Jas says. She refuses to kill a friend just because some mysterious voice tells her to.
Solon looked over his shoulder, to see what everyone else was looking at. All he saw was darkness.
"I must still be dreaming," Solon panted. "But the pain sure as hell is real."
"This boy speaks logically. Just remember if you do not kill him you will forever wish you had." the voice said instead, frusteration seething within every word.
Solon just glared at Venice. "Take your best shot," he growled.
Thats it" He ran off the ship and headed towards a mountain to see if he could find them from up there.
"I am not killing you. Just because I said it would be logical does not mean I would do it."
Solon relaxed a bit. But he continued to scoot away from Jas, Venice, and Harver until he was sitting against the opposite wall. What the hell am I suppoesd to do now? Solon thought.
"You're not going to kill him!? But he's the last-" ,the voice paused, "answer to your problems!"
"What the hell did I do to you?" Solon whispered, looking down at the ground.
Harver was confused, and tugged at his head. What the hell is going on?! He looked to Solon. He examined him, up and down. No. He wouldn't lie to us. It's not him. But Venice doesn't admit to it either... who could it be?!
Kai looked down at the tip of the mountain, there was a crack like it had opened up.
Kai quickly cut a circle and began falling.
Harver noticed Kai coming down. Great. More headaches.
Jas looks at them. "That answer could be wrong..."
"You seem eager for Solon to be killed. How do we know its not you we need to kill?"
"Likewise..." Harver turned his attention to Venice, the other thief. "How do we know it's not you we need to kill?"
Solon stood up on one leg and began hopping around, trying to get some balance. "You guys can wait around and find out why he wants to kill me, I'm getting out while I'm still concious!" Solon grunted.
"See? Eager to leave you all behind and get out. Because he is fearing you will realize the truth," the voice said.
"What? No!" Solon cried out, falling back down. "Oh come on..."
"No! You guys, SHUT UP!" Jas yells. "This is doing nothing but tearing our team apart... something this person probably wants..."
((brb gonna take shower))
Harver turned back to Solon. He examined him again, and turned to where he thought the voice was coming from. "Nope. Sorry. Just don't see why he would betray us."
Boogie pulled out his iPod and shuffled through his songs.
I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan carrying a cross
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
He seemed to be depressed lately.
Kai stabbed the peice of land he had cut out of the mountain and use his sword to steer until he hit the ground. He got up, tore his sword from the ground and said "What a lousey flight, they did'nt warn me about turbulance or give me peanuts"
"It isn't me Harver. I am a greedy, self serving thief, but I wouldn't betray you. At least not while you're still good for something."
Solon smiled, Maybe I won't die today.
"If you refuse to kill him..." the voice started, thinking. "Maybe our new guest will."
Or maybe I am screwed...
Harver turned to Jas, and then back to Venice. "Sorry. I just want to thoroughly sort out our options. And I have almost all of them.
"1) Solon's the betrayer.
"2) Venice is the betrayer.
"3) This guy is lying, and we should get the hell out of here at our earliest convenience. Am I missing any more?"

Solon smiled, Maybe I won't die today.
"If you refuse to kill him..." the voice started, thinking. "Maybe our new guest will."
Or maybe I am screwed...
"Guest...?" Harver was suddenly scared for no apparent(sp?) reason.
Oh, crap!
"I choose Option 3, Harver. All agreed?"
"I'm not killing anybody, I'm The motherintercourse ing rescue party"
"I don't think this guy is going to give us an option, Venice." Harver said, nervously.
((You guys still haven't noticed something important about my character, yet.))
"Fine. Solon will die today, mark my words. I can't have any more of his kind running about," the voice decided.
"My kind? What, human?" Solon asked.
"You may be one of the more stupid ones, but it doesn't make a difference. I vowed to make sure all three of you died."
"And yet, there are four of us down here." Harver stated. "By three - may I ask? - what do you mean?" Harver was interested.
'Now c'mon we are getting the hell out of here" He began cutting a ladder in the side of the mountain
"The other two died 12 years ago. The last one was failed to be killed," replied the voice. "You may go, but you must leave behind Solon."
"Although I just met him..." Harver said, convicted, "...I see no evil in him. I only see good. I will not betray my friend." He walked over to stand with Solon.
"How about we take Solon and you rot here, Shit for brains"
"No, wait..." Solon whispered. "I was four years old, twelve years ago."
"Connecting the dots?" amused the voice. "Does it make you want to stay and fight?"
Solon wasn't sure what to say. Rage was bubbling inside of him.
Harver could tell that Solon was getting tense. "Calm down, we'll think of something..." I hope.
Venice went to Solon's side as well. "He might still be useful."
"Solon, Don't let it tempt you, Your revenge may cost you your live and ours"
"I'm staying here and fighting," Solon replied calmly, though his fists were clenched and shaking. "You guys go back up."
"No, your Coming' Kai grabbed Solon.
"I said it once, and I'll say it again," Harver felt like he was writing something in permanent marker as he said the following, "I won't abandon you."
((Damnit! NOW what happened!? >.<))
((Nothing really, they're trying to get out of there, Kai came along, and Solon just realized who the person was))
Solon pushed Kai off of him. "This guy is going to die for what he did. I've been waiting a long time for this!" Solon yelled, trying to find where the voice came from.
(( Who was the person? >_> ))
Boogie walked into a fancy resturant, and plunked down at the bar.
Harver gave Solon a concerned look. "Don't let your emotions get the better of you."
Solon glared at Harver for a second. "Show your face, coward!" Solon yelled out. "Just try and kill me!"
"No!" Harver pushed Solon out of the way as something fast slashed right at him. The thing ended up slashing Harver's arm. It was only a small cut, but it stung a lot. Crap!
"Fine you fight, I fight." Kai drew his falchion
"No," Solon said, trying to move around on his one leg. "I must get revenge... You guys should get out of here." Solon drew out his sword, ready to slash it at the next shadow thing that came up.
"I told you!" Harver made sure that the cut had stopped bleeding. "I'm not leaving your side! Not now!" He unsheathed his sword, ready to battle.

"I told you!" Harver made sure that the cut had stopped bleeding. "I'm not leaving your side! Not now!" He unsheathed his sword, ready to battle.
"Me neither," "And Cmon show your face coward"
The shadow went flying at Solon, who slashed it with his sword. It disappeared.
"Cheap tactics aren't going to save you now!" Solon yelled out again.
"Solon, we're not leaving," said Venice, drawing his knife.
"You have to face it, Solon." Harver said. "We're in this together now, whether you like it or not."
"What kind of bastard hides in shadows" he slashed at the shadow that appeared again
Solon was surprised that they were staying. Though he was grateful, he probably would have died if they didn't.
"You are calling me cheap? It is five against one," the voice echoed through the room.
"SHOW YOURSELF YOU IGNORANT BASTARD!"
"Then I guess that makes us even." He sighed. Harver was in his ready stance, shifting his body slightly to make himself a smaller target, and grabbing his katana with two hands. I should use the Power of Emit wisely... can't risk losing too much blood.
Tanbar and Lanbar were sitting at the bar that Boogie was in but they hadn't noticed him walking in. "You know...I'm starting to get the feeling that Zaroff is going to come here sooner or later." Tanbar started.
"But how would he do that?" Lanbar said.
"Well, apparantly, he's become the leader or Scalus's army so I'm pretty sure he has means of transportation." Tanbar said.
"I suppose you're right. And if that stone that gave him those powers but it wasn't the stone that we thought had the powers...then what was that stone?" Lanbar said. "Could it be possible that there is more than one of those stones?"
"I...I think so, because I remember about a story our mom told us when we were young." Tanbar said.
"Yeah! You're right. And maybe if we remember this story, we could fond out more about those stones!" Lanbar said excitedly. "Now how did the story go?"
Two more shadows flew at Solon. One of them cut into his left shoulder, the other one Solon managed to swipe away.
"He can continue to create these shadows till we're dead. I may have been waiting for this moment for a while, but I can wait longer if it means saving us all!" Solon yelled to the rest of them.
"To THE LADDER, CMON GUYS" Kai flew at the ladder he cut in the mountain and began climbing.
Harver checked his options, and only one seemed smart. "Sorry Solon." Harver took out the Gem of Emit and felt its power go into him. "But it's not about revenge anymore. It's about staying alive." Power of Emit, flow unto me! He felt a huge wave of energy burst from him and the gem, and felt the presence of all the shadows disappear.
Harver knew his mouth was bleeding again, but it was a small price for what had just happened.
"What the hell just happened?" Solon asked, as the flash ended. "Did... Did those things die?"
"Appears so." Harver sheathed his sword. "Unfortunately, whoever created them ran away. Coward." He looked down at the gem in his hand. Such power...
"Cmon climb up the ladder" Kai said looking down through the hole " We need to get to the ship"
"I don't even think he was down here. The way his voice echoed... I think he may have been using a microphone or something from outside the mountain," replied Solon.
((gotta go, I haven't eaten anything yet today, and I'm starvin D:))
"Hmm... in due time." He then realized that it was getting dark, and he hadn't eaten since the diner awhile back. "I think we should get some dinner, go back to the ship, get some rest, and then formulate a plan. Sound good?" He began to climb the ladder, listening for a response.
Ooc// Summary please?
((Nothing really happened outside of the mountain. No one died either, our group barely escaped.))
Solon agreed, he got up and began limping over to the ladder.
"Might as well," Solon sighed.
"Cmon, We 'avent got all day"
Lanbar and Tanbar had finished their meal and were walking out of the place when they heard a loud thud from behind them.
"Hello...It's me again." Said a familiar voice.
They both turned around with their legs shaking. "Zaroff...Y-y-you're still alive." Lanbar said looking up to an even stronger Zaroff. He no longer wore his armor but instead, it was just the clothes off his back. "Fancy meeting you here. Speaking of that, why are you here?"
"I've got the highest of orders from the king. He wants me, the great Zaroff, to gather the five legendary jewels. He's already given me the Scale Gem which gave me this great power. Once I get the other four gems, I can become invincable and Scalus shall conquer the world! Ha ha ha!" He said loudly but saw that Lanbar and Tanbar were already gone. "Hey...where'd they go?"
"Whew, now I REALLY don't want to fight him!" Lanbar said running with Tanbar at his side.
"We need to tell the others about this!" Tanbar said.
"Cmon Granpa Solon, you need your medication" Kai joked, he then saw Tanbar and Lanbar running from the bar "they must be drunk"he thought.
"Ha, ha," Solon grunted, limping alongside him. "They look like they've seen a ghost."
"A ghost only drunks see?" Kai asked.
While they were running, Zaroff found them and started chasing after them too. "Quick! Run faster!" Tanbar said.
"No really? I thought we should stop and say 'hi!' Of course I'm going to run faster!" Lanbar shouted back. They head into a dark ally way and climbed some latters to get onto the roof. Zaroff followed them but the latter broke since he was so big.
"Ha ha. Can't get us now." Lanbar said sticking out his tounge at Zaroff.
"Grah!" He said as he started punching holes in the wall that he used to climb up.
"Oh crap!" Lanbar and Tanbar started running accross the rooftops as to escape Zaroff.
Harver stared at Zaroff. Didn't Solon kill him?!
Kai saw Lanbar and Tanbar running from Zaroff and began climbing up the buildings.
He made it up and punched Zaroff
"Whoa, I thought I killed him!" Solon gasped, limping over to help.
Zaroff didn't even flinch when Kai punched him. He continued to chase after the other two.
"Woah! Did you see that?" Tanabar said looking back for just a second.
"Yeah, that punch didn't even make him budge. And he's not wearing any armor!" Lanbar said. He then drew his sword.
"What do you think you're doing?" Tanbar shouted.
"Face it, we were going to fight him sooner than later so why not sooner?" He ran up and slashed at Zaroff's neck but that bounced off too. What the hell? I just hit his neck with a sword and there's not even a scratch!
"Not only did the gem give me great strength," He said pulling out his giant sword. "But now my skin is as hard as steel!" He swung the sword at Lanbar who had to bend back to dodge the sword.
poop! Maybe I should have kept running!
Solon realized no attack would hurt Zaroff, so he'd just have to try something else...
"Hey, big fat thing... Over here, I'm an easy target!" Solon yelled, hopping around on his good leg.
Hey You with the poop for brain" Kai shouted at Zaroff
Zaroff went straight for Solon with his giant sword in an overhead swinging possition. Once over there he swung the sword right down the center of Solon.
"Solon, look out!" Harver called.
Solon hopped to the side.
"Wow, you're one sad slow fat thing!" Solon joked, jumping to the back of Zaroff. "Come and get me!"
kai quickly hopped between Zaroff and Solon and began slicing at him
Now I have an idea! Harver joined Solon, prepared for anything. "Hey, over here!" He stood right next to the edge of the sea.
((Heh, my idea was to get him dizzy and buy you guys some time, but that's better))
Lanbar and Tanbar had ran off into town and found a cannon. "Hey...Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Lanbar said with a smile.
"Yes. Yes I do." Tanbar said smiling back.
Meanwhile...
Zaroff turned around and grabbed Kai and threw him at Harver. "Really guys. Do you think I'm THAT stupid?"
"Actually, we do." Lanbar said as he and Tanbar wheeled the cannon up behind Zaroff.
"What did you sa-...Oh uh." Zaroff said in a scared tone.
"FIRE!" Lanbar shouted. Tanbar lit the fuse and the cannon ball blasted at Zaroff that pushed him off the side of the cliff into the ocean.
"This isn't the last you saw of meeeee-" He was cut off by falling into the ocean.
"How's that teamwork for ya?" Tanbar said as the two brothers high-fived eachother.
"Nice!" Solon cheered. "But... how did he get so strong?"
((I keep missing things. X.x))
((All you missed this time was us getting out of the mountain and Zaroff comnig back. But Lanbar and Tanbar knocked him off the island with a cannon :P. He got super strong though, I wouldn't want to see him again. Too bad we will...))
"Hm...I thought you were going to ask how he was still alive but I suppose both questions have the same answer." Lanbar said.
"Aparently, the king of Scalus has given him the Scale Gem. And that's what has supposedly given him powers. He's looking for the other four of those gems so he can become invincible and Scalus can rule the world!" Tanbar said.
"So now there's a real purpose to finding Jas's and the other gems." Lanbar finished.
Kai heads for the ship "Cmon guys"
"Wait, why are we leaving? I know about these gems... One of them is the Cloud Gem, and it's supposed to be here," Solon explained. "Plus, I'm hungry..."
"But where can we find this Cloud Gem?" Lanbar said.
"But first food. there's this pretty good bar that has some good food." Tanbar said.
Jas walks with the others, thinking.
((Edit: My dumbass keeps mixing up my main chars))

Kei walks with the others, thinking.
((I think we know who you're thinking about right now :P))
"Great, lead me to the grub!" Solon exclaimed, limping after them.
((Do you mean Jas?))
Nimbus found the twins, plus the other group.
"What happened?" He said.
((Yeah, I do. Keep getting my main chars mixed up.))
"Huh?" Jas blinks a couple of times. "Yeah, food yum!" She stops, realizing that she probably almost passed a restaurant.
Lanbar and Tanbar walked into the restaurant. "C'mon guys, in here." Tanbar said waving them over.
Solon went inside "The Last Supper" to get some food.
((You and your creative names again BoA :P))
Jas laughs and goes inside with the others.
Lanbar and Tanbar were already munching on some food at a large table. "Come on guys. There's room for you guys to sit." Lanbar said with a mouthful of food.
((I know, even I wonder how this stuff comes to me :P))
It was a pretty average looking place. Solon sat down at the table and stretched out.
((You know...why does it seem that I'm just about always the first poster on a new page on this RP?))
"Hey...I bet I can eat a burger faster than you." Lanbar said with a smirk.
"Oh yeah, wanna find out?" Tanbar said smiling back.
"Alright...On three, we'll start." Lanbar said.
Nimbus walked in. He felt he was being ignored.
(( >:( ))
((Really? Cause I thought I was usually the first or last :D.))
Solon saw Nimbus walk in. "Hey, where've you been?" he asked.
"hm? Oh, i've been looking for you. Seems you like to leave me behind." He said with a hurt tone.
"Oh...sorry then." Lanbar said to Nimbus with a mouthful of burger.
Tanbar finished off the burger. "Ha! I finished before you!"
"Darn it! That's not fair!" He said finishing off the burger. "I was distracted!"
Jas eats shrimp, crab legs, and lobster from the platter she ordered. "Anyone else want any?"
((You mean Jas, I'm guessing :P.))
"Mind if I take a lobster claw?" Solon asked, his stomach growling.

Venice chewed on a shrimp as he watched Tanbar stuff his face.
Nimbus ordered a salad.
He wasn't very hungry.
"So, what have you been doing since my absence?"
"Eh, the usual..." Solon shrugged. "Just falling inside a mountain and getting attacked by weird shadow spirits."
((A sign I RP too darn much. Proof I do have a char called Kei: http://www.rpgnsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6020 http://z10.invisionfree.com/Gamepumpkin_Forum/index.php?showtopic=512&st=970 ))
Jas continues eating, making sure to get at least one of each type.
Nimbus was taken aback.
"Woah! Really?! Creepy...."

"Eh, the usual..." Solon shrugged. "Just falling inside a mountain and getting attacked by weird shadow spirits."
"Yeah. That reminds me, is falling from high places going to become a regular thing with you?"
"Yeah, I thought of starting a fad. I really think it's catching on," Solon replied, taking a shrimp.

"The 'everybody lets kill ourselves fad'?" Jas asks, grabbing another lobster tail.
Nimbus laughed.
once his salad arrived, he started eating it. Putting a rediculous amount of salad dressing on it.

"The 'everybody lets kill ourselves fad'?" Jas asks, grabbing another lobster tail.
"It's quite fun actually."
"No, no, no. You're mixing my ingenous fad with a more serious matter of suicide... Mine's just about jumping off buildings and severely hurting yourself. It's fun and easy," explained Solon taking even more of the sea food and munching on it.
Tanbar had managed to fill his plate with seafood and started eating it all. "Sheesh. You're such a pig." Lanbar said.
"Well at least I'm not the one who's getting drunk ALL the time." Tanbar said back.
"Hm...good point."

"... As fun as it is, I don't particularly like the mortality rate..."
"Really? I guess that's the difference between you and me. The morality rate only heightens the adventure for me," Solon replied, finishing up the food he took from Jas's platter.

"Unfortunately, the adventure ends when you die."
"I think putting tons of salad dressing on the salad makes it taste wonderful. Depending on the salad dressing of course. Do you agree?"
Ooc// I have to go.....
"You're going to die at one point anyway. Might as well have as much fun as you can while it lasts," Solon replied. "I'd rather live a short, fulfilled life then a long and dull one." My parents taught me that...

"That was incredibly random, but I do agree. It's so bland without any dressing," said Venice.
Then he whirled around to Solon and said, "I suppose there's sense in that."

((Bye))
"Random question... Yeah..." Jas shakes her head. "Love the salad dressing, but too much makes me feel sick..."
"Alright, so...who's paying for all this?" Lanbar brought up.
...And silence fell across the table.
"Maybe...I shouldn't have mentioned that."
"Well, I'm diner dashing," Solon yawned, getting up. "My leg is stiffening up and I'm tired."
"I'm not paying."
"Yeah...well, um...Me and Lanbar need to um..." Tanbar started.
"Check up on the ship!" Lanbar said. As they both left the restaraunt with a quickened pace.
"Nice thinking back there." Tanbar whispered to Lanbar on the way out.
"I suppose those twin powers really do come in handy." Lanbar whipsered back.
Jas rolls her eyes. "Some men you are. I'll pay..."
Quote from: Sh0rTi on December 23, 2007, 04:38:31 PM
Jas rolls her eyes. "Some men you are. I'll pay..."
"Yes. Men with no money."
Solon decided to head back to the ship. He didn't want to sleep in a hotel, even if he might get sea sick. Besides, he had some things to think about that he had been holding off...
Jas eats the last of the food, pays, then leaves the restaurant.
Tanbar and Lanbar were already on the ship. Tanbar was doing some ship maintainance while Lanbar was somewhere else on the ship getting drunk.
Venice went back to the ship.
Solon went into the boy's cabin of the ship and laid down on his bed.
The man who killed my parents is here... On this very island... He's looking for the gems as well as Zaroff. Maybe he has gotten the Cloud Gem already, and just needs me dead. I'll have to fight him eventually... But I have to be alone, I can't let my friends die for something as revenge. Solon decided to look around Nimbuslus land for him. Better to look for him that night then endanger everyone else by just waiting around.
Jas shops around a bit. She didn't feel like sitting on a ship for the rest of the day doing nothing.
Ooc// I g2g now. Bye guys.
Nimbus went to check out some of the sights in the city.
((Wow! I missed a LOT!))
Harver ran up to Jas. He handed her a bit of money. "That was for earlier, in the restaurant. I wanted to pay, but I was kind of zoning out... thinking about earlier."
"It's fine," Jas puts the money away. "Thanks though," she looks back up at Harver.
"Your welcome." Harver drifted off, thinking again. "So, what do you think about earlier? About the voice?"
"I don't trust it," Jas says, leaning against a tree. "Could've been anyone."
"Yeah, that was what I was thinking." Harver said. "But that voice... I can't help but think that it sounded... familiar." He was thinking again. "Could it be one of the Dead Men?"
"I wouldn't know," Jas looks at her reflection through the blade of one of her swords. "I never heard the voice."
"Yeah, my mind must be playing tricks on me..." He looked to Jas. "You swordfight?"
"Based on what you've seen," Jas starts. "What do you think?"
"I think it's pretty good, but it could use some work." Harver said quietly. "Maybe we could spar some time. However, I don't think fighting is always necessary. If I could, I'd create a world without fighting."
OOC// Yay! Rank-up! ^__^
"If there was no fighting, there'd be no way to defend ourselves from overpowered people," Jas starts climbing into the tree she was leaning against.
Harver watched Jas climb, surprised at how nimble she was. "That's true." He sighed. "That makes us think about what life is all about, right?"
Tanbar was walking around. He saw Harver and Jas, who was climbing the tree. "Hey, how're you doing?"
"Just hanging out." Harver said calmly.
"I see...And what's this 'voice' you're talking about?" Tanbar asked.
"How did you know what we were talking about?" Harver inquired. "You weren't even here."
"Or was I?" He said with a little smirk. "My brother's a pirate, he's taught me a thing or two about eves dropping. But that's not the point right now. What all this about a voice?"
(( I just realized something! Harver's Power of Emit seems to run on blood! Hence his coughing up blood every time he uses it and his statement that he needs to use it wisely to conserve his blood! It didn't run on light like I thought before! IT RUNS ON BLOOD!))

((Sorry. You have epically failed. Nice try, though. You're somewhat close, though.))
Harver sighed. "Well... (insert everything we know about the voice here.))."
"GASP! Well...I wonder who would try to break up a group like that? It couldn't be Zaroff for obvious reasons..." He put his hand to his chin and started thinking. "Is there anything that Solon said that might be of importance?"

Harver sighed. "Well... (insert everything we know about the voice here.))."
((I know. I'll shut up now. Also, we don't know much about the voice other than it is menacing, it's out to get Solon, and Solon knows it.))
((I know everything :) ))
Solon walked around the mountain, thinking. He walked slower then usual, because of his injury, but it just gave him some time to view the scenery. Memoires of his parents flooded past him. They were small, foggy memories. It mostly be of something small, like him playing with his favorite toy: A firetruck and his parents watching. He knew he'd have to destroy the man who took that all away from him. He had always thought it had been a man from Scalus, but now he realized how wrong he was. It was instead one of the Dead Men, wearing a Scalus emblem to ensure safe access into Crescent Islands gates.
Solon sighed and leaned against a rock, his leg started to act up again. Mark my words... I will find you and kill you, if it's the last thing I do! Solon vowed.
"Not that I know of, but he was very tense when he heard the voice." Harver concluded after thinking for a while. "It might have been someone only he knew."
"Hm...That might explain it." Tanbar said.
Jas sits in the tree listening.
Solon heard voices farther down. Hoping it was his parent's murderer, he crept forward. He looked hid behind some marsh and looked out. It's just them... he thought when he saw Jas, Tanbar, Venice, and Harver talking. He didn't want to be seen so he slowly crept out, determind not to fall this time around. It was hard, with one of his legs wobbling, but he managed it. Maybe I should look deeper... He likes making hideouts deep within things. Deep within that mountain... Maybe he has another one deeper in these woods.
((W00T 1000th reply! XD))
Lanbar was wandering inbetween the town and the forest, stumbling around from drunkness.
Jas jumps down from the tree. She stretches, yawns, then starts walking. "I'm gonna find a hotel, or something. If I can't, I'll just go back to the ship."
Solon came out of the town, stumbling a bit. He decided he had needed some drinks before he would be able to go and find the guy he was looking for. He headed back towards the woods behind the mountain in hopes of finding the man hiding out somewhere down there.
(( Yawn. Where is everyone?))
((Sleepin', getting ready for Christmas... etc. I only got four hours of sleep today >.> My dad talks loud and he woke me up...
I don't know about you guys, but I'll be loggin' off this site at around 12-2PM and going to my cousins' for a Christmas Eve party, and I won't be loggin' in again until sometime after the 25th. Maybe the 26th, but most likely the 27th. So, uh, don't do anything too exciting while I'm gone.))

No... in the RP
OOC// Yeah, I'll be busy as well.
IC// Harver nodded in agreement, and began to follow Jas in search of a hotel. All of a sudden, it began to snow. Not heavily, but enough to make the ground into a winter wonderland.
((Dunno how long I'll be on. Doing stuff like cookin' and being lazy. :P))
"Snow?" Jas stops and looks up right before she gets inside the hotel.
((Awesome, snow :D))
Solon looked up at the bright white snow tumbling to the ground. He stuck out his tongue and caught some in his mouth. He stumbled along the path, hoping the white blanket of snow would make the forest brighter and easier to see.
((I sense more falling in my future :P. But you can't blame me this time, blame the ice D:))
Harver smiled as he saw the beautiful land of white. Unbelievable... such beautiful things in a world so corrupt. He followed Jas into the hotel shortly after.
Jas sits in her room drinking hot chocolate (With lots of whipped cream), and looking out the window.
"snow?" Kai looked up at the sky wondering if he was gonna miss Christmas this year.
(( Umm....guys? I feel like dropping out.....I'm lost and confused. You're just to fast for me. @_@ ))
Nimbus grew worried. He became lost so many times.....Now, he was lost forever.
After finishing his meal, Boogie looked up, and out a window. It was snowing. The ground was covered in white. He went outside, not even realizing he didn't pay the tab. He looked at all of the little children throwing snowballs. It made him slightly happy, though a bad thought entered his mind.
I have no one to spend Christmas with. I'd go back to those guys but they don't like me.
He started wondering in the snow. It made a crunch noise with every step he took. It would be perfect for a snowball, and he couldn't resist. He picked up some snow, packed it tight into a ball and looked around for someone to throw it at. He spotted an open window from a hotel. He cocked back and chucked it in.
OOC// Big mistake, Boogie. :D
IC// Harver had bought a room next to Jas, and it was pretty comfortable. He opened his window to see the snow falling for a few minutes, when all of a sudden he got hit by a bunch of snow. "Ack!" He brushed it off his face to find the culprit, but to no avail. "Weird..." He closed the window to make sure such an incident would not happen again.
Harver looked into one of the brochures in his room to find an ice skating rink not too far away. He needed to relax, but at the same time, didn't want to be alone. He called Jas's room. "Hello, Jas? It's me, Harver. I have a question to ask you."
"Go ahead and ask," Jas says, putting her mug down.
Harver looked outside the closed window, smiling at the snow falling to the ground. "I looked in one of the brochures here at the hotel, and found out that there is an ice-skating rink, not too far off. Do you want to come with me?"
Lanbar was standing in front of Harver's room snickering while holding a snowball behind his back. He'll never see this coming.
Harver heard a rustling at the door. "Excuse me for one second." He said to Jas. He walked up to the door, and opened it. Time! He saw Lanbar, prepared to throw a snowball at him. He took it from his hand stood behind him, and once again... Time.
"Oh darn it. You took my snow ball!" He said turning around to see Harver. "What ever shall I d- NOW!" And Tanbar jumped out of hiding and threw a snowball at Harver.
Harver saw that coming, and quickly dodged, making the snowball thrown go straight into Lanbar's direction. He then threw the snowball he took at Tanbar. Not caring about the outcome, he walked back into his room, and shut the door. He picked up the phone again. "Sorry about that. The clones were trying to hit me with snowballs."
"It's alright." '... Asking me out? Heh, yeah right. None of 'em would do that...' "I heard," Jas finishes the drink then looks at her clothes. Knowing that going out in the snow in shorts and a tank top isn't a good idea, she says "I'll go with ya... Just... meet me downstairs, okay?"
The two snowballs hit eachother. "Why'd you have to throw that snowball at me?" Lanbar said.
"I was aiming for Harver!" Tanbar said wiping the snow from his face.
"Sure you were. You just wanted to hit me, didn't you?" Lanbar said.
"Well...I DO want to hit you with a snowball but that was an accident." Tanbar said. "And a good one at that." He said under his breath.
"I heard that!" He lunged at Tanbar and they both were sent tumbling down the stairs and then out the door and into the snow. Tanbar then jumped up and threw a snowball at Lanbar while he was down. Lanbar was quick enough to roll out of the way and throw a snowball back. This continued on until they were having a full blown snowball war between eachother.
Harver winced as he heard the ruckus outside. "Thanks. I'll see you there." He hung up, got a jacket on, and went downstairs.
Jas changes her clothes, then puts her coat on and goes downstairs. She follows the trail of snow left behind and laughs.
Harver noticed Jas coming down the stairs. He smiled. "Did you hear the noise those two made outside?"
Both brothers were exchanging throws as they tried to hit eachother behind their little 'fort' "You'll never get me alive!" Tanbar said only to be greeted with a snowball to the face.
"Ha ha! Got ya!" Lanbar said who also got hit in the face. "...I'll get you for that!" And the two continued their fight.
OOC// Is Jas still wearing her mask? What does she look like atm? You said she changed her clothes, so what is she wearing now? Btw, I'm not perverted, I just like description.
((She doesn't have the ninja gear on. Wait a minute lemme find a pic))
"Don't have to when I can see this mess everywhere," Jas stops when she's standing by Harver.
"Heh, you got me there." Harver said, chuckling. "Ready to go?" He asked the ninja.
OOC// Ok, thanks.
((Best I could do with this doll maker thing. >.> (http://www.dollwizard.com/userimages/9c87e917348abca062d70405588833f7.jpg)))
Jas nods. "Mmhm. Let's go before it gets too late."
Harver continued to smile and led them outside, where the snow continued to fall gracefully. He turned to Jas, prepared to say something, but stopped. She's beautiful... He loved the way her brown hair fell down, barely touching her shoulders, glistening with the falling white ice crystals. Her outfit was equally beautiful. He blushed slightly. They continued to walk in the direction of the rink.
"So..." Harver started, wanting to break the silence. "How did you come into possession of the gem?"
Venice went outside. Despite having no coat, he wasn't cold. He watched everyone having fun in the snow and ice. He sat against a tree with his eyes closed.
Boogie noticed someone sitting under a tree.
Why isn't he wearing a coat? Boogie thought I'll make him think otherwise!
Boogie picked up a snowball and chucked it at the Venice.

Venice was hit by the snowball and looked for the source. Seeing Boogie, he scooped up a snowball and threw it at him.
Smack.
The snowball hit Boogie right in the face. He started laughing. He rolled on the floor, laughing harder. He rolled over to Venice.
" Hey, I'm Boogie." He held out his hand. " Whats your name?"

((siv needed to start cooking dinner for tomorrow))
"That? Didn't I-" Jas stops mid-sentence. "Oh, wait. You weren't there when I said what happened. It was given to my family waay back, years ago, since whoever had it before then couldn't protect it. I got it right after my birthday... but now look where I am. Trying to get it back because I couldn't keep it safe." she sighs and kicks at a stray rock on the ground.
OOC// It's ok.
IC// "Hey." Harver said. "Don't think it's all your fault. Together, our entire group can get it back. But at least you were allowed to go places. Up until just recently, when I ran into you guys, I wouldn't be able to leave my room on a regular basis. My parents continued to insist that I was a "prodigy", and that I had to keep my attention focused on my studies... I'm glad I've left all that behind. I'm glad that I can finally be out of that musty old house, and into a brand new adventure."
He turned to Jas. "Before this adventure, had you ever had the feeling you were important? Part of something... big?"
"Before all this, no," Jas looks back at Harver. "I really thought I'd be back home, training the younger kids."
"Wow..." Harver started. "It's amazing how one small incident can change the outcome of an entire life. If I never ran into you, Solon, and Lanbar a while ago, I'd still be cooped up in my room." He looked ahead to see the rink coming up. "Truth be told, I've never been ice skating before." He chuckled softly, blushing.
"Hey neither have I," Jas looks ahead at the ice skating rink. "But nothing's stopping me from trying."
Harver smiled at her. "There's a first time for everything." He payed the man at the front for admission, and got 2 pairs of skates for them. He put his on, and looked at the rink. No one else was there. It was a circular rink, and a big one at that. He looked to Jas to see if she was ready.
Jas finishes tying the laces on the skates then stands up. "Let's see how many times I fall on my face," she says with a grin, ready to skate to the music blasting from the speakers.
Harver smiled with her. "I bet I will more than you." He stood up, and walked over to where the ice began. As soon as he stepped, he fell down. "Ack!" He tried to get up. "It's much harder than it looks!"

"Cool." Boogie said, thinking he found a friend. " Whatcha up to?" He asked, trying to start a conversation.
"Nothing much. Staring at snow and watching everyone make fools of themselves as usual."

"Heh." Boogie chuckled. " I used to come out in the snow with my brother. We would make snow balls and round up the neighbor kids for a snowball fight. It would always be me and my brother against 10 other kids, and we would always win. " Boogie didn't realize he was crying. He hadn't seen his brother for over 10 years, and missed him dearly. He caught himself and wiped his eyes.

"Hm... I haven't even had a family in years... All of them dead," said Venice wistfully.

Venice spent a moment or two staring at the gently falling snow. Finally, he said, "Oddly enough, this conversation isn't awkward. You'd think that with the topic of family, it would be."

Harver smiled with her. "I bet I will more than you." He stood up, and walked over to where the ice began. As soon as he stepped, he fell down. "Ack!" He tried to get up. "It's much harder than it looks!"
Jas steps out onto the ice, takes a few steps, then holds her hand out to help Harver.
"Yeah. You read my mind. It's funny. I barely know you yet, I can talk openly to you. "

Harver gladly took Jas's hand. "Thanks." He stood on his two feet, and started to wobble a bit. After a while, though, he was walking pretty smoothly across the ice. "Hey, I think I'm finally getting the hang of this!"

"Yes," replied Venice. "Why do you think my clothes are all tattered? And why I don't bother with a coat?"
Boogie was disappointed. He wanted Venice to steal the money out of his pocket, or do something impressive.
" Hmm... true. But I bet you'll never guess where I'm from!" Boogie knew he couldn't. He didn't dress proper, and in warriors clothing like a normal person from Scalus would.

Hm. We met you in Emit, but you were in a boat from Scalus," said Venice, thinking. "I'd say you're either from Emit or Scalus."
Harver almost fell down, but created that mishap into a move where he spun around and faced Jas. "Wow! This is fun!" He smiled, skating back to Jas's side.

((Going to bed as soon as...

"Yup," Jas turns around again, then continues to skate.
((Yummy!))
Harver smiled as he skated side by side with Jas. He loved to see a smile on her face. If only every day was like this... no fighting... only happiness.

Solon took a swig of his drink, blinking back memories. He had been wandering around for atleast an hour. It got deeper and darker, but Solon couldn't find what he was looking for. He was shaking from the cold, not aware that it was going to be snowing when he had first trekked out. Nothing would make him stop, he had held in his feelings about his family for too long. The last time he had really cried was back when he was a parentless four year old. Now that he had discovered the killer, rage and sorrow were bubbling up within him, and it turned into nasty revenge. He was going to find the killer. Find him and kill him in cold blooded murder.

((Consider it updated :) ))
Solon sat down against a tree, numb to the cold. He began throwing beer bottles at the tree opposite him, trying to get it inside the hole in the middle. They all smashed far away from the target, and Solon gave up. Then, he heard rustling deeper in the forest. Hoping it was who he was looking for, though it was most likely a squirell or bird, Solon lumbered after the noise.
(("Solon is drunk in the woods" just made me laugh... XD))
Tanbar had gone back inside for some hot coco while Lanbar decided to wander around and eventually, he found himself in the middle of a forest. While walking around, he heard russtling in the bushes and went to investigate.
((It's the truth, ain't it :P?))
Solon tripped and fell into some bushes. He had been looking for the noise echoing through the woods, but the bush had gotten in his way.
"Fesh me!" slurred Solon, trying to free himself from the grips of the branches. "I'll rip yer tail outta yer head!"
Lanbar heard Solon's voice from the bush. "Solon? Is that you?"

"Ok." Harver skated quickly to get back to Jas's side. "This is fun, once you get the hang of it. Don't you think it's great when you can just have fun, and forget about everything else?"
"Yeah," Jas looks at him. "I know this mission is important... but if we keep going and going nonstop with it, we'll eventually snap. Know what I mean?"
"Finally sh-showing yer face, eh?" Solon shouted, getting up and pointing at Lanbar. "I'll... I'll kill you for what you did!" Solon took out his sword and points it at Lanbar.
Lanbar had taken out some wine and started drinking it. "Woah man! It'ssss only -hic- me." He said taking another gulp.
"Yesh... I know you!" Solon raged. "Killin' my parents... Now yer after me! You'll pay for what you did! Fight me!" Solon raised his sword, ready to attack.
"Oh, so that'sss what you -hic- want, Solon." He said putting up his fists in the manner that he normally does when drunk. "Let'sss -hic- fight!"
Solon smiled, it was a wicked snarl. "It's time to die for what you did," he hissed. Solon jabbed at Lanbar's chest.
Lanbar fell backwards on his back so the sword missed. He then kicked at Solon's legs to try and get him to fall to the ground.
Solon fell back, dropping his sword. "Crap," Solon growled, swaying a bit as he tried to get back up and find his sword in the darkness.
"C'mon. You don't need a -hic- sword to fight." He said kicking Solon from behind. "Be a -hic- man!"
((Crap, 2 drunkards(sp?) in the forrest... that can't be good. ><))

((Course we're relaxing, LS! Nothing like a good hateful, revengeful, drunken, nasty, spiteful brawl to lighten the mood a bit!))
"I'm-a... m-man!" Solon stuttered, getting up and stumbling. "Yer the coward!" Solon took a swing at Lanbar's head.
((Okay))
Lanbar fell back again but this time he stayed on the ground. He then started to make snoring sounds.
Tanbar was walking outside the ice rink drinking some egg nog. "Mmmm...Can't beat the greatness of nog!"

"I hope they are," Jas sighs. "If there's a chance to just chill, why not take it?"
Solon looked down at Lanbar. "H-He... Died?" Solon whispered to himself. Solon suddenly had the feeling he hadn't just fought who he thought he had. Beginning to come to his senses, Solon began dragging Lanbar out of the woods and into town.
Lanbar woke up. "Hey! What -hic- do you think you're doing!" He jumped up and got into fighting possition.
Solon had just gotten to the exit/entrance to the woods. He jumped back in surprise at Lanbar and landed into a big pile of the snow. "Gah, it's cold!" Solon shouted, jumping up and brushing himself up.
"C'mon! Let's do this!" He said throwing false jabs at Solon.
Solon backed up a bit. "C-Calm down, Lanbar. I can't really remember what happened before... But, there's, uh, a bar down there if you want to go get a drink with me?" Solon compromised.
"Alright. -hic- but don't try to pull anything screwy on me!" Lanbar said.
"I totally agree." Harver looked to the edge of the rink; he thought he had heard something. But he realized that there was nothing there. Must be my mind... Harver looked back at Jas, mesmerized by her grace.
"I'll try not to... be screwy with you..." Solon replied, finding the wording a bit funny. He then headed towards the bar, still a bit wobbly from the intense head ache he was having.
Tanbar gave a small wave when Harver was looking in his direction. "Strange...I never knew that Harver and Jas knew how to skate." He said to himself.
Lanbar followed Solon into the bar.
"Bartender, I'll take a beer," Solon ordered.
"Back again, eh? Didn't you buy a six pack to go?" the bartender asked.
"My beer, please?" Solon asked again, avoiding the question.
"Give me an egg nog ssspiked with some bourbon." Lanbar said.
"Are you sure about tha-"
"Just give me the -hic- nog!" Lanbar said pounding on the table.
Solon sipped the beer and looked over at Lanbar. "So, what drove you to drink?" he asked.
Lanbar took a drink of his spiked egg nog. "Hell, I don't know. Probably just liked it when I first tried it."
Solon gulped down some more. "Yep... Life's tough, ya know? You think you're fine, finally over what happened forever ago. Then the big man pulls a fast one on you," Solon sighed. "Life sucks."
"Hey man. It'ssss not sssso bad. What'sss gettin' you -hic- down?" Lanbar said. "Want some egg -hic- nog? It'ssss pretty good sssspiked."

"I totally agree." Harver looked to the edge of the rink; he thought he had heard something. But he realized that there was nothing there. Must be my mind... Harver looked back at Jas, mesmerized by her grace.
Jas runs her hand along the wall as she skates, letting herself glide seeing as she has enough speed.
"Sure," Solon replied, deciding to order some of that for himself. "But, life does sssuck. You try and lead a good, theiving life style. And what doesss it get you? N-Nothing. I sssays, ssscrew this! Thisss issland bringss out the worssst in people." Then, Solon got up and lumbered out of the bar, more drunk then before.
"Wow..." Harver breathed out as he watched her go. "You know, if I tried to do that, I'd probably kill myself." He chuckled slightly. "You're amazing." He stopped quickly. "I mean- at what you just... did - that was... cool." He blushed slightly, putting his hand on the back of his head.
"Aw don't -hic- be that way." He said stumbling after Solon. "You know what they sssay, 'drink alcohol and be -hic- happy.' ...Or ssssomething along those linesss."
Tanbar watched to two skate. I think that they'd make a nice couple...That is IF they get together.
((Jas is being oblivious again :P. Uh, I mean... Damn it, does anything rhyme with oblivious that I can think of right on the spot?))
Solon stumbled along the path. "I need to sssteal sssomething..." he muttered, looking around for the nearest building. He found it, and quickly headed towards it.
"You go do that. I'll just...-hic-" He fell over backwards and started sleeping on the ground.
((No I'm not!))
"Cool, well, thanks," Jas looks up at Harver smiling. "I could teach ya how to do to do that... if you want," she says slowing down.
((BoA did you join that one place I linked to a couple of days ago? >.>))
"Thanks!" He said, skating next to her, willing to be taught. "I've always wanted to improve my horrible balance."
((Whatever you say...))
Solon walked up to the shop and broke through the glass. An alarm system went off, but Solon punched it off. "Ow... That hurt," Solon exclaimed, rubbing his fist. But, he continued stumbling through and looking for good items to hide under his shirt. He took a pack of gum, some cigarettes, a bag of chips, and all the money in the cash register. Then he stumbled back out, carrying the items behind a different building.
Solon didn't smoke, but he was tempted to try a cigarette. Instead, he threw everything he stole aside and laid down, looking up into the sky. He was thinking hard about something... someone...
((What one place? That pumpkin RPG thing? No, why?))
((Not GamePumpkin, but RPGNsider. There's a person with a name similar to yours... That could be you... >.>))
"And you will," Jas skates a little bit ahead of Harver, then turns around so she's facing him, skating backwards. She hesitates for a moment before grabbing onto his hands, still moving back, and pulling him along. "Starting now."
"Woah!" Harver jerked in surprise as he was being pulled by Jas. "Couldn't you have been a little more... subtle?"
((The game of love isn't subtle :P))
Solon had been listening for movements, but not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Soon enough, Solon fell asleep. As he slept, dreams of sugar plums danced in his head. He jerked up awake again, a Christmas story still echoing in his mind. He decided to go for a walk, sober again with a massive head ache.
Then Lanbar was jerked awake. Yet there was no hangover, not even an ache. He saw Solon walking and he said, "Hey, how about we do some talking."
Solon shrugged, "Sure, why not. Not much else to do around here."
"I've heard from the others about this dark shady guy." He said with a sigh. "Is there something you're not telling me, is it something I don't see?"
((I have no idea why I'm rhyming my lines O.o))
((It's the Christmas spirit :P))
Solon shrugged. "I-" he faltered. "I probably know about as much as you do. But, what do you know about him?"
"I don't know anything. You're the guy who fought him." He said. "But there's one thing I am sure of, he's not likely someone from Scalus. He'd be more like...Zaroff then. You know, speaking of him and the other gems, shouldn't we be looking for them before he finds them?"
"He's part of the Dead Men crew," Solon replied. "And I'm positive he is also after the gems."

"Woah!" Harver jerked in surprise as he was being pulled by Jas. "Couldn't you have been a little more... subtle?"
"Sorry," Jas glances back to make sure they won't hit anything then looks forward again. "Now then... just skate like you were before to start."

"He's part of the Dead Men crew," Solon replied. "And I'm positive he is also after the gems."
"Hm...So Scalus isn't the only enemy." Lanbar said. "So what are we waiting for? We should find the Cloud Gem!"
"Ok..." He did as she commanded, and was skating pretty smoothly. But not a smooth as her, of course.
Once they were skating at a slightly faster speed, Jas' feet stop moving. "Good. Now what you do is put your feet down, and keep them on the ice."
"Got it." Harver put his feet down, wobbled a bit, but then was skating at a normal pace. He smiled again.
((Lol, Pirates of the Caribbean is on downstairs. :P))
(("I've got a jar of dirt!" I want those movies! XD))
Jas nods then looks back again to see that they're coming up on a curve. "All you have to do to turn is move your body a little," she does so as they enter the curve.
((I would say like moving the steering wheel of a car, but there are no cars))
((I have the entire trilogy. :P Got AWE for Christmas))
"'Kay." Harver did as was told, and placed his hand across the wall as he did so. He lost a bit of balance, but nothing big. He felt as if he was gliding. He smiled as the wind pelted his face.
((Lucky. >.>))
"You got it," Jas starts gradually letting go of Harver's hands.
((It's my dirt!))

Boogie was disappointed. He wanted Venice to steal the money out of his pocket, or do something impressive.
" Hmm... true. But I bet you'll never guess where I'm from!" Boogie knew he couldn't. He didn't dress proper, and in warriors clothing like a normal person from Scalus would.
Hm. We met you in Emit, but you were in a boat from Scalus," said Venice, thinking. "I'd say you're either from Emit or Scalus."
" Emit? You actually met me in Scalus, where i'm from. You wouldn't think it seeing the way I dress and act."

"No, you wouldn't. Most people from Scalus are strict and in uniform or something."
Harver smiled, and began to skate like Jas was doing. "Thank you." He said.
"You're welcome," Jas smiles back, and ends up back by Harver's side after a few moments.
Harver looked up into the sky as they were skating, to see that the snowflakes were still falling. The moon was also higher up in the sky than normal. Harver, however, did not feel that tired. A little tired from exhaustion, sure; but not because it was night time. Must be since I'm in a different time zone. He thought.
"It's weird." He said, turning back to Jas. "You say you've never skated before, yet here you are: skating like a pro!"

"I can't be that good," Jas laughs a little. "Probably just caught on quicker."
"Hmm... I guess so." Harver simply put. "But you certainly are much better than me!" He laughed. Harver then looked back up into the sky. "If it's ok with you, I think we should go back to the hotel and get everyone rounded up. We should be well rested for tomorrow." Harver sighed. "It's too bad that great things can't last forever."
"I'm fine with going back," Jas stretches her arms, "But finding the others? It'll probably take forever because we're all spread out."
"Hmm... Yeah, you're right." Harver said. And I don't want to split up... "So, I guess we'll go back to the hotel, and find them in the morning. Sound good?"
Jas nods, skating with Harver back towards the exit.
Harver took off his skates, and handed them back to the man at the kiosk. "Well, that was fun!" He said. "It's great trying out new things."

Solon nodded to Lanbar before heading to the hotel. His eyes were bloodshot and he needed to clear his mind.
I should sneak into a room, he thought.

"As far as I know, these gems are objects that grant immense power to the wielder. There's one from each land, the Emit Gem from Emit; the Cloud Gem from Nimbuslus; the Scale Gem from Scalus; and the Crescent Gem from Crescent Island. Then there's the gem that belongs to Jas and her family. Whoever has them all has ultimate power and can rule the world, et cetera. I'm guessing the Dead Men are after the gems to rule the world."

Harver took off his skates, and handed them back to the man at the kiosk. "Well, that was fun!" He said. "It's great trying out new things."
Jas laces up her boots again, and looks up at Harver. "Yeah, it was fun. Honestly thought I'd come out of there with so many bruises..."
"Yeah, me too!" Harver said, joining Jas. "It's a good thing, too, since if we did get hurt a lot, it would get in the way of our goals." He sighed.
Solon slipped into the hotel, checking each hotel room to see if any of them were vacant. Finally, he found one at the end of the second floor. He knocked the door down and placed it back up. With a yawn he threw off his shirt and pants and jumped onto the bed, knocked out cold.

"Do you plan on helping these people find the gems?" Boogie asked, intrigued.
"Aaah, a couple of bruises wouldn't hurt anything," Jas smiles a bit.
"I'm not sure," replied Venice, pondering the question. "These gems sound like they would fetch a tidy sum, and invincibility is a plus. But as much as I want the jewels, it would be too risky to betray everyone and have them gang up against me. Plus, I don't want the Dead Men to get them... I suppose it would depend on the scenario."
Solon jumped awake after a dream. He remembered he was forgetting something, but he couldn't remember what it is he was forgetting. He stumbled back out of the hotel, trying to remember what it was. It was colder outside without his shirt or jeans on, but his head ache numbed everything else. He couldn't remember much of what he did while he was drunk, but he was positive he was forgetting something...
Ooc/ And he has no shirt or pants in the snow because...
((He's lost his darn mind. :P))
Ooc/ How do you lose what you do not have, ShOrTi?
((Aw, now we're bashing my guy? Let's go back to the whole "Jas is Oblivious" trend. I liked that one better :P Oh, and atleast he's wearing shoes. He's not a complete idiot... Well, it's probably half and half.))
Solon followed foot prints in the snow, pretty sure they were his. They led all around town, but in the end he found himself walking a path towards the forest away from the mountain. He was still trying to remember what he forgot, but he was pretty sure he'd find it in the forest.
Ooc/ I enjoy these insulting trends. They are fun.

" Well, I'll help you in whatever you do!" Boogie replied, holding out his hand for a shake before he went off.

OoC// Yeah, I was trying to presure you into saying something.
Ooc: what happend?
OOC// Harver and Jas are finishing ice skating, Solon is going crazy in the forrest, and Venice and Boogie are making small talk. I'm not sure about everyone else.
IC// "True, but we do need to be at our best if we want to defeat the Dead Men." Harver said. And destroy the gems. He thought. But I can't tell them about that yet. "So, you ready to go?"
Kai just stood still, he didn't enjoy winter as much as the others.
Solon began walking into the forest, but decided that whatever it was he was forgetting wasn't worth it. He was cold and still had a head ache. Instead, he turned back around and headed into a club to warm up and hang out. It was crowded inside, and everyone was dancing.
"Looks like fun," he thought out loud, grabbing another beer and walking the middle of the crowd. He threw his beer at some girl standing off to the side, and began doing break dancing moves that he could only pull off drunk. All he could see were blurred people crowded all around him, and them all cheering as he flipped and spun all around.
((I forgot he didn't have any clothes on... again))
Kai saw a club and walked inside
"I guess," Jas starts walking.

Harver walked alongside Jas. "We should do things like this more often." He smiled. "I had fun!"
"I'm glad you did," Jas smiles back. "Would be a waste if both of us didn't have fun."
"Heh, I agree." Harver said. "In fact, I think this would be the most fun I've ever had in my entire life." He chuckled.
"Believe me," Jas brushes an icicle off a random tree. "There's gonna be more."
Harver laughed. "I hope so." He looked at Jas, smiling. I hope so... He turned ahead, and saw the hotel coming into view. "Well, we're here."
"Yeah," Jas looks up at the building. Too bad I ain't sleepy...
Harver walked up to the door and opened it. He turned to Jas and bowed to her, mocking how people are so polite at fancy places. "After you." He said in a fake British accent.
Jas fails to hold her laugh back and walks inside. "Why thank you."
After Solon finished showing off his moves, a group of girls called him over to their table. He walked over and sat down with the three of them, and they ordered him a drink.
"Wow, those were amazing moves!" one of them gushed, rubbing his arm.
"I've still got your drink," the other one replied, giving it to him.
"We can order you another on us," the last one added, calling a waitress over. Solon just grinned and leaned back on his chair, finishing his drink. Soon, he had a second beer in his hand and was gulping it down. The girls were crowded all over him, and he would have felt uncomfortable if he hadn't been drunk.

Solon soon finished up his fourth drink, continuing to talk to one of the girls. The other two had picked up their guys and left. The girl still talking with Solon had black hair, hazel eyes, and looked greek. She was wearing a black tank top and jeans.
"So, where are you staying?" she asked.
"Oh, just in that hotel. It's a crappy room compared to my suite I had in Emit," Solon replied.
"Can you show me it?" she questioned.
"Oh sure. I don't see why not," Solon replied, grabbing her coat and walking her towards the hotel. He mostly followed his own footsteps back, since he couldn't quite remember where it was. Once there, he saw Jas and Harver walking inside. "Hey guys!" Solon greeted them as he escorted the girl in. "Fancy meeting you here." But the girl didn't really stop to say hi, so Solon just gave a wave before continuing to show her to his room.
"Hm?" Jas look up, and shrugs. "Don't catch anything, or blame me when you gotta pay child support," she starts heading to her own room.
((=P))
((I don't know why I'd blame you if I had to pay child support, but now that the idea's in my head :P... But, I wouldn't pay child support. It's stupid, but I'd rather stay with the kid instead of leave it.))
Solon glanced back at Jas with a quick glare before finding his own room and opening it (and by opening it, I mean moving the broken door over...).
"This is it. Its not much, but..." Solon started.
"It's fine," the greek finished, taking off her coat.
"Would you like some wine?" Solon decided to ask, trying his classy side, which was rarely used. He poured them both some when she nodded, and sat down at a small table next to her.

((Somehow, I think it would be best if we kept this RP PG-13. We might have little kids looking at this! Plus, that could've given someone some rather disturbing mental pictures.))
((You are the ones putting it into peoples heads. I haven't done anything but offer wine. I could easily kick her out of my hotel room or something :P. That sounds like fun, maybe I'll do that... Anyway, shouldn't we be making it morning soon? It's been night for the past couple of days.))

"Would you like some wine?" Solon decided to ask, trying his classy side, which was rarely used. He poured them both some when she nodded, and sat down at a small table next to her.
Just then, Lanbar walked (more like stumbled) in. "Hey, -hic- what're you doin' here?" He asked. "And who'ssss the lady?"
((I thought it was night :O. Let's just pretend it is...))
Solon jumped up. "Gah, what are you doing here?" Solon shouted. "This isn't your room."
The girl jumped up as well. "Who the hell is that drunken hobo?"
"Hobo? Why, I'm a pir-hic-pirate!" He said. "And I smelled wine so I jusssst...-hic- came in!"
"I really should have fixed that door," Solon sighed. "Listen, Lanbar, I bet Jas has wine in her room. Why don't you check it out?"
"You know this pig?" the girl said with shock.
"What? No way! I call everyone I don't know Lanbar!" Solon covered.
"What do you -hic- mean you call everyone that?" Lanbar said taking some wine. "Lanbar issss my -hic- name!" He drank some of the wine.
The girl looked over to Solon for an explanation.
"Well, he's obviously drunk! He heard me call him that and now he's attached to it!" Solon lied, but the girl was edging closer to the door. "Aw, come on!"
"Oh don't leave Ssssolon just 'caussse of me." Lanbar said. "Ssssure, he may be -hic- a thief...And he almosssst killed me in the -hic- forest. But if you look passsst -hic- that, he'sss a nice guy...-hic-"
"What?" the girl exclaimed before leaving. Solon stood there motionless for a few minutes.
"LANBAAAAAAR! I'M GOING TO KIIIIILL YOU!"
"You mean like how you tried in the -hic- forest?" He said taking another drink of the wine.
((XD))
Jas sees the girl leave. "Hmm... he probably couldn't work it," she mumbles, going up the stairs to her room.
((Yeah, you laugh now. But I'll be waiting until Jas finally shows her true colors. She can't be perfect all the time :P))
Solon ran out of the room, hitting Lanbar hard over the head on the way out, after the girl.
"Come on, you're listening to that drunk guy over me!?" he called after her. "Give me a chance, here!"
"Ow...that hurt...-hic-" He said rubbing his head after being hit.
((I haven't been perfect in the first place. =P))
Jas laughs at the conversation she hears.
((You're the least screw up here XD))
Solon turned around, bright red when he heard Jas. He heard the hotel doors slam behind him. "Oh shut up," he said, playfully hitting her on the back of her head as he headed back to his room. "She wasn't my type, anway!"
"Sssure Ssshe wasssn't...-hic-" Lanbar said in a joking manner.
Ooc/ Venice has yet to screw up.
"Oh puh-lease," Jas rolls her eyes and leans against a wall. "You know you wanted to get all up on her."
"No way, you could tell from her looks that she was way too much of a girl who gets her own way and has the money to buy whatever the hell she wants. But, if I wanted to, I could have. She's just not my type," Solon replied, to both Jas and Lanbar. "And Lanbar, if you are still in my sight in the next 5 seconds... You are so going to be a dead man!"
"Ssssure I will...1...2........what'sss -hic- after two?" Lanbar said.
"5," Solon replied, turning over to Lanbar. "I still see you." He cracked his knuckles and narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, thanksss...5!" Lanbar said. "Well...I'm not a dead man yet! -hic-"
It suddenly dawned on Solon what he had forgotten in the woods. "Oh, my sword!" he exclaimed. "I'll get it later, right now, you are going to pay, big time!" Solon said before jumping at Lanbar.
Jas gives Solon a look that says 'Whatever you say,' and starts to go inside her room... but she wants to see what happens to Lanbar.
"You may have forgot-hic-ten your sssword." He said side-stepping out of the way of Solon and then pulled out his sword. "But I didn't! -hic-"
Solon widened his eyes for a second, but recovered quickly. Great, all of my skin is open...
"Fine, you want to play dirty? Bring it on, I can take you!" Solon shouted, taking a swing at Lanbar's head.
"Although I have an advantage -hic- with this sword," He started as he bent back to dodge the punch, "It would be unfair to fight with it." He said putting it away and then stepped to the side of Solon and kicked him in the side.
Solon was relieved that he didn't have to fight the blade, but soon was brought back crashing to reality when he got kicked in the side. He closed his eyes for a second, then brought his break dancing moves into motion. He balanced himself up on his hands and began kicking at Lanbar with his feet.
Jas pulls out a marble containing knock out gas, and considers using it on the two fighting. "But then again," she throws the marble between Solon and Lanbar, and it explodes, knock out gas going everywhere. She goes inside and shuts her door. "I don't wanna hear all that."
((Why do you always have to try and ruin the fun?))
Lanbar was tripped by Solon but he landed on his hands like the times before when he was tripped and started to kick at Solon's head with his feet. He was a bit more immune to the gas since he had already breathed it before.
Solon jumped back when he saw the marble, doing a flip in the air. He quickly grabbed his shirt and put it around his nose and mouth. Aw, come on Jas! It's going to spread through my entire room... Solon considered pulling Lanbar out of it, but he wasn't sure if he'd be able to keep the effects off him if he did. Instead, he opened a window and climbed out.
Instead, he climbed around the building until he found Jas's room. He knocked on the window. "Come on, you owe me a new room!"
((I'm going to hit the hay for tonight. Bye.))
((Bye Hobo))
Jas shrugs her shoulders. "I don't really have enough money for another room, and I don't know about letting you stay in here. >.>"
((Cya Hobo))
"I'll crash on the couch and be real quiet, I swear," Solon promised. "Then I'll be back out before you even wake up."
"Oh fine," Jas lets Solon into the room.
"I knew you'd cave eventually," Solon joked. "You know you just can't resist me!" He untied the shirt he had masked around his face and threw it on the couch.
"Wanna bet on that?" Jas flips through the channels on the tv.
Solon just walked over and watched Jas flip through channels. "Gonna make a commitment to one of those channels anytime soon?" he asked, leaning against the chair she was sitting in.
"No..." Jas finds an anime she likes. "Oooh, nevermind."
Solon just grinned, then moved the couch so he had a view of the TV and sat down on it. "I don't think I've seen this one," Solon commented, stretching out on the couch. He never had watched too much TV since he didn't have much of a home as a kid.
"Ghost in the Shell?" Jas glances over at Solon. "It kicks ass."
Harver sat on his bed, hearing everything that happened outside the thin walls. "Heh... such a weird group." He lied down, clsoing his eyes, thinking. That was so much fun... I wonder if Jas liked it as much as I did. He chuckled a bit, looking at the wall that separated his room and Jas's. "And even our leader, Solon, is a bit crazed." He looked up at the ceiling. "Lord Emit, how will we get through this?"
((Mind if I skip ahead to morning now?))
Solon woke up in a weird position on the couch. The sun hadn't come up yet. He checked the clock to find out it was only 5:30 AM. He checked to make sure Jas was still sleeping, and found her on the chair with the remote still in her hands and the TV on. Silently, he slipped the remote out of her hands and turned the TV off. She looked cold, and he felt bad for intruding on her, so he gave her the blanket he had been using. Then, he crept out of the hotel room and back into his.
Kai walked into Solons room in the hotel "what the hell are you doing up this early"
Harver had not been able to sleep that night. Too much was conflicting in his brain. He was able to get some rest, though, and that was what mattered. He got dressed at about 5:15, and walked towards the window. He gazed upon the white blanket Mother Nature had left over night. He smiled.
Harver then heard some rustling in the other room. He walked outside of his room to see Solon walking out of Jas's room. He followed him back to Solon's room. "Sleep well?" He asked.
"I'd doubt it, scholar, it's a little early don't ya think"
"This is my usual time," Solon told Kai. "Yeah, I think I slept pretty good." Then Solon stretched out and checked to make sure his room was free of that gas. "Ugh, I forgot my shirt at Jas's, though... I'll have to get it when she wakes up."
"What were you doing in Jas' room that required no shirt?" Kai could think of one thing
Lanbar got off of the floor in the hallway. "Now what was I doing in the hallway sleeping?" He asked himself quietly. "Oh well." He walked out of the hotel and went to his ship to check on Tanbar.
((-_-))
Jas wakes up, curls up in the chair she's in, and goes back to sleep.
"Well Solon, she is probaly up by now"
Harver scowled, but then grinned again. "No, I don't think Solon's that kinda type. Am I right?" He turned to Solon.
"Oh yeah, we were up all night long, you know, doing certain stuff," Solon joked, going into his room to put on his pants.

(( So... it's morning? ))
Yaaaaaaaaaawn.Boogie groggily got to his feet from the hard floor of the boat. He looked around the dark bunk room he was in and found a fridge.
The floor creaked.
He stopped in his tracks. Boogie looked around and saw no one. He continued on towards the fridge.
The floor creaked again.
he stopped again, and looked around.
Where was this coming from? He continued onward to his goal.
A loud explosion of music erupted in his ears.
"Oh god the monsters attacking!" He screamed and ran forward, running into a wall, and fell over. " Ow." He moaned.
He had just realized he still had his iPod in his ears and Audioslaves 'Man or Animal' was playing.
Jas shakes her head, and comes out of her room. "I don't remember THAT part of 'Big Comfy Couch'..."
`So you were watching childrens shows`` Kai began to laugh
"No, I turned the TV on and that was on," Jas yawns. "If you really gotta know, I was watchin' BET Uncut," she says just to see what he says. In truth, she was up watching anime all night.
``Really, I`m not sure about trusting a ninja, heard they don`t have the honor they used to``
"I don't remember watching that last night," Solon replied, walking back out of his room. "Mind if I go in and get my shirt, by the way?"
"You heard wrong," Jas turns around and looks at Solon. "Yeah, go get it."
`really, and we still have a sword fight remeber``
"Yes, I do," Jas starts to go back into her room. "Wanna see if we can finish it this time?"
`sure` Kai drew his falchion.
Solon walked into Jas's room and searched around for his shirt. His head ache was finally gone, and he felt good again. Although he wanted his revenge, he felt like he could wait for revenge of his parents killer. But next time he did see him... Solon found his shirt behind the couch and put it on. He had his grappling hook, and remembered his sword was somewhere in the forest.
"I'll have to go get that now..." Solon thought out loud, walking back out. He saw Jas and Kai beginning a sword fight outside. "Tell me who wins!" he shout back at Jas and Kai as he walked out.
Jas comes back, her swords drawn. "Let's go."
`Well, ladies first
Harver walked in between them. He turned to Jas. "I believe I said that we need to be in our top shape if we ever want to get our mission done. Can't this wait?"
It`s been waiting Scholar``
Harver sighed. "My name's not Scholar, it's Harver. Get it right."
`Whatever Scholar, I will call you what I please`
Harver glared at Kai. "You really don't want to make me angry." His right hand levitated closer to his sword in case trouble arose, and his left hand went into his pocket, barely touching the gem.
"Both of you cut it out before I decide to cut both of you," Jas twirls one of her swords. "I wanna finish this fight. Who knows when we will if we don't now."
``like I said, ladies first, i`ll deal with scholar boy later``
"Fine, but on two conditions." Harver stepped away from the two. "One, no serious fighting. I don't want any uneccesary injuries slowing us down. The other thing is..." He folded his arms. "...I get to spar with the victor."

``A reason for my victory``
Harver walked back towards them. "But I think it would be wise to take this outside. We don't want fighting in a hotel."
`So people can watch, no
Solon thought he heard singing coming from the forest. It sounded freaky, but at the same time, welcoming. He inched forward, and was soon drawn totally into the forest.
"What is that music coming from?" he whispered, looking around for the voice. It was definitely female, and the voice was memerizing.
Venice got up when he heard Boogie yelling something about monsters. "What happened?" he asked groggily.
Lanbar jumped off the ship and was looking around town, the forest, and anywhere he could think of in a panic. He was repeating these sort of phrases, "Where is he? I can't find him! Where could he be?!?" continued looking around frantically.
"Will you guys quit it?" Jas heads for the stairs. "Let's go, nobody's out."
Okay Kai followed jas outside
Solon followed the voice farther into the woods. There was still a soft blanket of snow on the ground, and he kept on slipping and falling down. But, the voice pushed him on. Finally, he thought he could see someone in the distance, and he began sprinting towards them. But suddenly, the ground beneath him disappeared and he fell into a pit. He hit the ground with a thud and blacked out.
((heh heh, the trend continues!))
((Hey, I think I might know the next trend....blacking out! :D...))
Lanbar was now running through the forest. "Tanbar! Where are you!" He shouted running past the trees.

And as for the whole Harver-Jas thing... If Harver doesn't get Jas, he should move on. It's not like he can't date other people if he doesn't get his first choice. Date Amy :P. It'll make me feel better about my girl creating skills D:.))

((Why, might I ask? You constantly drop out of RPs and destroy the ones you make. Let's face it; you're not that very consistant.))
(( XD. Are you trying to flame me? Just because I'm not always on and when I come back there are 8+ pages to read doesn't mean I drop out. And the RP's that I destroy are because they just are not successful. I'll create a female if I want.
My female character:
Name: Shantae

Background: She grew up with Boogie. Though she is completely different then her, he was her only friend.

Amy scaled the bank in Nimbuslus with a bag of money in hand. She shifted into the shadows and made a break for it far away from the town towards the edge of the forest.

Solon woke up on the cold muddy ground in a pit in the forest. "Ouch..." he groaned, rubbing his head and sitting up. "Where the hell am I?"
" Well, lets go look for them. " Boogie said through a mouth full of toothpaste.

"Um... Is anyone in there?" she called down.

"Aren't girls supposed to be smarter then guys or something?" Solon yelled back. "Are there any ropes or vines around here? It is a forest!"

"What?! cried Venice. He drew his knife and ran to the water's edge. He could tell the assailant was a ninja, but not much else. He sheathed the knife and took out his box of poison darts. He found a sedative dart and sent it at the ninja's neck.

Trin looked around and found a long vine. She held on to one end and threw the other down to Solon.
((Looks like you guys won't be able to finish it... again XD. Looks like it wasn't meant to happen D:.))
((@TL- Ooh yeah...))
Solon climbed up the vine. "Thanks," he said, looking at the girl. "But, I just remembered I have a grappling hook. Looks like women really are smarter."

" Who the hell was this? " Boogie called over to Venice. He bent down and started to take off the hood and mask of his attacker when he noticed something weird. " Hey Venice, I know this is gonna sound really perverted..." He hesitated, " But my attacker had boobs."
It couldn't be her...He put the thought out of his head and continued to unmask his attacker.

"How observant," commented Venice dryly. "That would mean that this had better be a girl, or that would be really... Erm,
awkward."
Boogie finally removed the hood and the mask and threw it aside.
It was her.
"Sh-Shantae?" Boogie looked down at the body and could not belive it.
"Ouch," Solon replied. "Fine, I don't think I could trust a know-it-all with a name, either." Solon suddenly remembered why he had went into the forest in the first place. That voice... he turned around and walked toward where the music had been before, but fell back in the hole. He grabbed the edge before he fell back in. "Eh heh... I meant to do that..."
"You know this girl?" asked Venice.
************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
"Sure," said Trin sarcastically. "It seems a little weird when you fall into the same hole twice on purpose."

"You know this girl?" asked Venice.
" Y-Yes. " Boogie said holding back tears. " I grew up with her and she disappeared like all my other family and friends." Something else crossed his mind. " These darts can't kill can they? "
"I'm, uh, trying a new trend," Solon replied, pulling himself back up. He looked back over, but the voice was gone... "By the way, have you seen a sword lying around here?" He looked around a bit, but he figured he must have gone too deep.
"Some of 'em can, but I used a sedative poison on her," replied Venice
************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
"No. It's probably in the hole," said Trin.
"No, I lost it last night..." Solon replied. "I didn't make it this far last night, so It's probably closer to the exit." Solon began re-retracing his footsteps. Why did I have to be drunk last night? Solon thought, trying to remember where he had been.
Trin, curious, followed Solon.
Solon heard her behind him. "What, you don't give out names to idiots, but you follow them?" Solon called back, looking through bushes he passed by. "You might as well help me find the sword. Its crescent shaped with a gold hilt. But if you find another sword, I'll take that one, too."

"What do you think I'm doing?" hissed Trin.
((Anyone else noticed all the topics about Revenge and Dear NSF?))
((Yep, looks like it's raining spam, grab your umbrellas))
"Alright, alright, calm down," Solon replied, searching through the forest.
______________________________________
Amy walked through the forest with her bag of money. She noticed a glare from one side of her and turned around. A sword lay on the ground and she walked over to it.
"Looks like it's my lucky day," she smiled, fingering it.
Trin followed suit.
((Don't worry about the dumbass 11-year-old no0bs...))
Apparently, there were complaints about Jas and Kai's sparring match, but before officials said anything, she dropped a smoke bomb, allowing them to escape to the ship.
Lanbar was still running around frantically through the forest looking for Tanber. "Tanbar! Where are yooo- Gah!" He tripped on a rock covered in snow and just happened to land on Trin "Ow...that hurt." He said rubbing his head and opening his eyes. "Oh!..." He got off of Trin and held out his hand to help her up. "Um...I'm really sorry about what just happened." He said with his face completely blushed.
Solon heard someone farther along and crept forward to see a girl with his sword.
"Hey, that's mine!" he shouted, pointing at her. Amy looked up at him, and narrowed her eyes.
"Do I know you?" she asked.
"No, but you've got my sword in your hands," Solon replied. "Can I have it back?"
"Oh, ha ha, no. Finders keepers, losers weepers," she replied, twirling the sword. Solon was getting annoyed with her. He really needed that sword, and he spent a long time looking for it.
"Seriously, I don't want to punch a girl but I-" he stopped as she held the sword up to his throat. "I think... you should keep it. It matches your eyes."
"That's better," she scoffed, walking away.
Solon ran back to where Trin and Lanbar were. "Guys, some girl just ran off with my sword! Does anyone have a weapon here I can borrow?"

Trin took his hand and dusted herself off. "I'm guessing you know him," she said, pointing at Solon. "Seeing as you're both clumsy fools."
"Hey! At least I'm not the kind of person who would do something say...fall into a pit twice. Now that's just stupid." He turned and saw Solon. "Oh...You mean Jas took your sword?"
"Alright, I might be clumsy, but I'm no foo... Hey, I could have gotten it back with my grappling hook! Gotta go!" Solon called, sprinting back after the girl who had his sword. "And no, some other girl!" Solon called back to Lanbar.
"You have some weird friends," commented Trin as Solon ran away.
Harver followed Jas back to the ship.
He should have thought of the grappling hook before...anyways. "Anyways...My name is Lanbar and I'm pretty sure you should already know this but his name was Solon...And who are you?" He said to Trin.

"You're rambling..."
Jas gets onto the ship and sighs. "So much for that spar..."
"Oh...sorry." He said. "Well...I suppose I should go ask Solon if...where'd he go anyways?" He said looking around. "Surely the girl who toke his sword couldn't have gotten THAT far..."

"They went that way," said Trin, pointing in the direction Solon and the girl had gone.
"Alright...I'll be going now. Take care of yourself." He started walking toward where she pointed.
"Well, this is boring," muttered Trin. She decided to follow after Lanbar and Solon.
((Where is Tanbar, anyway?))

Harver turned to Jas. "When we start sailing again, you can continue."
"True," Jas looks at the town, then blinks, realizing something. "Damnit, I forgot something," she starts to head off the ship.
"Stop!" Solon yelled after the girl. He took out his grappling hook and threw it, it caught onto her leg.
"Ow, hey!" she cried out, falling onto the ground. Her bag of money spilled all over the place.
"Hah! That teaches you for stealin' my sword. Now to unmask you! Wow, I feel like some Scooby Do detective..." Solon said, taking off her mask and grabbing his sword from here.
"God, it's just a sword," she growled, sitting up. Solon just smiled triumphantly and unlatched her from his hook.
"You're just mad, because you suck at this game," he replied.
"Oh, there is going to be some pay back..." she whispered under her breath as she watched Solon leave with a skip in his step, twirling his sword. "And I swear I know him from somewhere..."
"Hey Solon...You know that girl?...Nevermind, that's not imoportant. I can't find my brother anywhere!" Lanbar said. "I'm pretty sure Zaroff took him at some time...Unless there's someone else that's our enemy..."
((It's Scooby Doo, not Scooby Do. :P))
Jas climbs into the hotel room she had from the window, and begins searching for something.
((I thought so, but then I thought that sounded like the other kind of doo, so I figured it must have been Do.))
"No, I haven't seen him," Solon replied. "Why, have you lost him?"
Trin caught up to them, but hid behind a tree and eavesdropped rather than go and talk.
"...What? No! I'd never loose my brother.!" Lanbar said looking down at the ground. "So are you SURE there couldn't possiblly be ANYBODY else that might be our enemy."
"Aw come on! I was just getting out of my bad mood," Solon groaned. "Er, because I'm so sad that we are missing Tanbar, its getting me in a bad mood. But, do you mean an enemy besides Zaroff?"
"Well...There could be..." Lanbar said. "Is there anybody that might be after us OTHER than Zaroff? Because I don't think Zaroff would be even smart enough to kidnap someone from our group."
"Who's Zaroff?" ventured Trin, still hidden behind the tree.
"Ah... Yes. Lanbar, tell the annoying girl about Zaroff. I'm going... The other direction," Solon replied, running back through the forest. This time when he got to the pit, he was smart enough to jump over it. "I've got to see what was over there..." he whispered to himself, getting closer to where the voice had been.
"Wait! What about-...Oh, I'll talk to him later." He said turning around. "So um...Zaroff is the leader of the Scalus army and the king has given a gem that makes him practically invincible to us and he's searching for four other gems to gain ultimate power so that's why we're going to get the gems first and stop him!"

Trin absorbed this inforamation with some interest. She raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't you be going and looking for these jewels?"
"Well...Yeah, erm...About that." Lanbar started. "We don't exactly know where the other jewels are." He paused to think a moment. " Oh, but then again, Zaroff shouldn't have any idea where the other ones are either! So I guess that's good."

"Then you should look around Nimbuslus Land. I heard a couple of rumors about special gems all over the planet, one in each country. I'm guessing this 'Zaroff' guy is from Scalus and would have the gem from there. That leaves Emit, Crescent Island, and Nimbuslus. Since you're already here, you might as well look."
"You ARE right but there's a more important matter at hand. Tanbar's missing." Lanbar said. looking toard the ground. "And...He's the only one in our group that knows how to sail the Whirl Current which is esential if we want to find the gems before Zaroff."

"Somehow, I have a feeling he hasn't been kidnapped. Did you search all the bars on the way here?"
Solon made it to a clearing. He was a little dissapointed, the person with the voice wasn't there. He walked over and sat on the stump in the middle of the clearing.
"Dang... Who was that voice?" he whispered to himself. That was all he could think about, though he knew someone else that might have stolen Tanbar... What was he going to do about it? Then he stood up. He knew what he had to do... He was about to get up from the stump when suddenly, the stump opened up and he felt himself fall inside. "Whoa!"
((I just love this trend... A lot :P))

"Listen, I've searched just about on every nook and cranny of this town and forest. He must have been kidnapped but the question is who." He thought for a moment and spoke again. "It could have been Zaroff but he's too stupid for that kind of thing. And I do remember Solon talking about someone who killed his parents when he mistoke me for the guy...At least I think it was something along those lines. It could have been that guy Solon was talking about in the forest last night!" Lanbar started running off to where Solon was. "I think I might know who did it!"

((Nope, I've got a better idea this time around :). ))
Solon fell through the blackness, but landed on his feet, surprisingly.
"Uh... Hello?" he asked.
"Ah, so the voice
did compell you," echoed anther voice.
"It's you!" growled Solon, taking a step forward and drawing his sword. "If you want the gem, you'll have to kill me first!"
"That should be easy," the voice laughed. The man stepped out of the shadows. He had short brown hair, red eyes, and rippling muscles. "I'm sure you'll be just as easy as your parents."
"Solon! Solon!" Lanbar was calling out after he stopped running in the forest. "Strange, I don't think he could have gotten too far..."
Suddenly, the light dimmed and Solon looked up to see the stump close up.
"Say one more word about my parents and I'l kill you now!" Solon roared, pointing his sword at the man.
"Hmph, I'd like to see you try. You're parents were weak people," laughed the man.
"That's it, you're dead!" Solon shouted, running at the man and slashing his sword.
Lanbar looked around. He heard two voices but wasn't sure where they came from. Hmm...I hear somebody but I don't see anybody...That's strange. "Solon! Where did you go?"

"There's voices..."
"I know, but where are they coming from?"
"I don't know. Maybe there's a trap door or something!"
Amy walked into Trin and Lanbar.
"Hey, have either of you guys seen some guy with blonde hair, with a black shirt and jeans?" she asked them. I hate losing, and he isn't going to win this "game"... She double-took Lanbar. "Hey... Didn't I see you passed out in the Women's Room in one of those bars earlier?"
____
"Ha, nice try," laughed the man, side stepping him.
"Don't... Play... With... Me!" yelled Solon, stabbing at him to the side. It ripped at the man's shirt, and his eyes flared up with rage.

Trin realized at once that she meant Solon. "Um... Nope, haven't seen him," she said innocently.
"Well...I'm looking for him. I swear that I hear his voice near by..." Lanbar started and then stopped when she mentioned the bar. "You went to that bar last night?...I mean...Not that I would even THINK of going to a bar."

Way to admit, Lanbar," said Trin with a grin. ((Hey that rhymed!))
"This shirt costed money!" roared the man. "You'll pay for that." Suddenly, fire was glowing from his hands, and he shot it at Solon. Some of the fire hit Solon, and his shirt began burning up. He dropped onto the ground and began rolling around. When he got back up, the entire left upper half of his shirt was burned up.
"And that is my only shirt!" Solon shouted back, stabbing the man in his arm.
"And that's the only shot you're going to get," he growled back, grabbing Solon's throat.
Lanbar walked over to the stump. I think those voices are loudest here. He knocked his hand on the stump and there was a hollow noise. "Trin, you were right. There IS a trap door. And Solon must have fallen in it. Don't worry Solon, we're coming to save you!" He said as he jumped onto the stump and his weight broke the trap door and Lanbar fell through and landed on Solon and the other man. "Ow...that hurt."
"Really?" Solon asked. "It actually felt pretty good for me... Now get off!"
"Ooh, another pawn in my game!" the man said happily. He used some of his magic to throw Lanbar against the wall.
Amy fell in next. She landed on her feet and looked around. "Where the hell are we?"
"Ow...that hurt...again!" Lanbar said standing up and patting himself off. "Now why'd you have to go and do that?"
Trin jumped down after him, landing gracefully on her feet. "Smooth, Lanbar," she said as she drew a pistol and pointed it at the mysterious man.

Trin jumped down after him, landing gracefully on her feet. "Smooth, Lanbar," she said as she drew a pistol and pointed it at the mysterious man.
"Listen, what are you supposed to expect from me? I'm a pirate, not some sort of ballet dancer!" He unsheathed his sword ready to fight.
Jas just put her ninja gear back on, when she hears something going on, and runs to the source. She comes up on the pit, and jumps in. "..."
"Well maybe you could land on your feet," said Trin, rolling her eyes
"Aw, four against one? Oh, wait. I shouldn't count the two weakling girls," laughed the man, throwing them against the wall as well. "I think all of you should stay out of our fight. Unless you all want to die as well."
"Weak?" asked Amy. "I'm pretty sure you want to take that back."
"All of you, stay out of this. He's gotten even stronger, and I need to finish him off myself!" Solon roared, slashing at the man again.
"If he's gotten stronger, then how do you expect to beat him by yourself?" Lanbar said walking toward Solon. "I'm sorry but I won't let you fight alone!" He got in to a fighting stance with his sword. "Plus he might have taken Tanbar."
"This is my battle. I want to see his face looking me in the eye when I slit his throat for killing my parents. Everything I've done since today might finally mean something. The only reason I went to Scalus in the first place was because of him! I've got to be the one to kill him!" Solon shouted out, glaring at the man.
Trin put her gun away, knowing the man could probably redirect a bullet. She took out 8 knives and placed one between each finger. She ran up to Lanbar's side.
"Stay out?" Jas raises an eyebrow. "Nah-uh. That mutha just called me weak..." She draws her twin blades. "You can kill him after I rip his balls off and feed them to him."

"I understand that you want revenge on this guy really bad because you're so angry with what he did!" Lanbar said trying to talk some reason into him. "But that's exactly what he wants, for you to be angry and stubborn. It'll be easier for him to kill you alone!"
He looked over at Jas, "When did you get here?" then he looked back at the man. "He's never going to kill me. My sword is going into his throat, end of story." Solon looked back at the guy, sword raising.
"Yes, why don't you guys just feed him to me?" the man asked. "Or, I can save him for last."
Oh, now I know where I've seen him from! Amy thought, watching the fighting unfold.
Man, why does he have to be so stubborn about this. I understand how angry he is but that's no excuse for being an idiot! I'm not sure what else I can say that will change his mind...
"Alright, I'm way too crowded in," stated the man. "Everybody... Move back!" he moved his hand across the room and everyone flew back against the wall. "Now stay my puppies or else you'll get a shock to remember."
"Oh, you're such a talk-" Solon stepped forward and began to get shocked. "Aaaah..." he fell onto his knees. "Don't... Cross....Line..." he gasped.
Hm...I don't even think all of us could take him let alone Solon. "Hey, you've kidnapped my brother, haven't you?...Where is he?!" He said with anger in his voice.
((I'm going to go to bed now. Bye guys.))
((Cya))
"Yeah... Where is... he?" Solon gasped, getting up and walking forward. Another shock hit him. "O...ch..." he gasped before falling back down. "C'mon..."
"Oh, but this is so much fun!" laughed the man. "I could do this forever."

Inside, he is confronted by his parents' killer. He sort of banters with him for a while and they fight until Trin, Lanbar, and Amy go down the stump after them. Jas came and is with them in the stump. So right now, Amy, Lanbar, Jas, Solon, and Trin are in the stump and Solon is fighting the guy. Kai and Harver are at the ship.

"Ya got any rubber?" asked Trin with a frown.
"Yes, yes I do. I carry rubber around with me everwhere, because I expect the floor to suddenly become electric," Solon said sarcastically. He looked around, but couldn't see anything his grappling hook could grab onto.

Trin closed her eyes in thought for a moment.
"You have a sword and a grappling hook," she started. "There's not much you can do about an electrified floor. Look up at the ceiling and see what you can latch onto with that grappling hook."
((Do his shoes have rubber soles? 'Cause that could completely negate ground-based electricity.))
((If he did, he probably woudn't have gotten shocked when he stepped onto it the first time))
"Well, I'm leaving. I have some gems to look for. But, I'm very glad you fell for my trap. You have no idea!" laughed the man. Next second, he was whirling around in shadows and with a crack, he disappeared.
"NO!" Solon yelled, he ran forward again and felt himself getting shocked. "You...bastard..." he panted.
"Wait a minute...Did you say rubber?" He said lifting up one shoe and then feeling it. "Yep, that's definately rubber...So in theorey..." He took a step onto the electrified floor but he was hesitating so his foot was going down slowly ((cue dramatic music)) And finally, he put his foot down and there was no shock. "Hey! It worked!"

Trin raised an eyebrow before following after. She felt no shock.
"If you have rubber soles on your shoes, step down!" she called to the others.
"Well, I don't have rubber soles," Amy announced. "So, unless Jas has rubber soles, that guy is the only one." Amy pointed at Lanbar.

I've got to follow him... Solon thought. "I think my grappling hook might be able to reach the stump," Solon replied.

"Well, try. If it does, than everyone can climb out of here."
Solon threw his grappling hook up. It hooked onto the stump. Solon reeled himself in fast, did a flip, and knocked the top of the stump off. Solon started running off after where he thought the man went, then remembered everyone else. He ran back and threw his grappling hook back down and waited for everyone to climb up.
Kai walked by Solon in the forest "Hey is everyone else downthere too?"
Trin climbed up the rope swiftly.
"Not everyone," Solon replied as he watched Trin climb up. "Boogie, Harver, and Venice aren't down there."

Amy climbed up next. "Well, that was... something that doesn't happen everyday."

"W-well. How can we get her back up? " Boogie asked frantically.
"Take her on the ship, where it's safe,"said Venice. "The poison should wear off in a couple of minutes."
"Oh... OK." He picked her up and carried her to the ship.
Venice followed.
((Let's just time skip to a couple of minutes later, when she's awake.))
(( Omkily domkily. I have to get off in 13 more minutes, so lets get some of this done! ))
Several minutes have passed since the attack, Shantae was just waking up.
"Shantae?" Boogie asked as she groggily looked around. " Why did you attack me."
She looked around more.
" Alex..." She started. No one had called him by his real name in a long time. " I had to."
"Why."
"Because we need you back home."
((Yes, must hurry.))
Venice stood there for a moment. He didn't really know what was going on at this point.
" Why do you need me?" He asked, wondering.
" It's your brother. He is terrorizing everyone. "
" I have nothing to do with my brother. " He walked to other side of the room , not knowing what to do.
(( OK, gotta go. I'll be back on, in like 2 hours.
((Bye!))
Venice watched this reunion until something came to mind. "How did his being necessary at his home make it necessary to attack him?"

Lanbar had gone out of the hole with the others but before he left, he picked up a note. He was walking towards his ship reading the note. It said, "If you ever want to see Tanbar again, too bad! I, the powerful Zaroff have taken him hostage! Give me the Emit Gem if you ever want him back." "...So Zaroff DID take him, maybe he's smarter than we thought...Or maybe that guy gave him that idea...Well, I have to tell the others."
((Wait. So we're all clear, Harver is in possession of the Gem of Emit. What is the status of the other four gems?))

Trin had gone to a bar after exiting the hole. She had a glass of beer in her hand, but wasn't drunk or anything.

@Tri: I think Jas's Gem is known as the Vulcum Gem or Gem of Vulcum. I'm not sure.))
((The gem was never explicitly named, oddly enough. I agree with the name Gem of Vulvum.))

Venice watched this reunion until something came to mind. "How did his being necessary at his home make it necessary to attack him?"
Shantae looked over at Venice, just realizing he was there.
" I knew he would not come unless we forced him to." She said with a frown.
" Why should I come? " Boogie butted in, " I have nothing to do with Scalus any more. That place could burn for all I care."
((It's the Scalander Gem or Gem of Scalander. You do know there are even more lands outside of the country Scalander. On the other side of this planet is a whole different country with other places. I haven't completely finished the map yet. But, we aren't going anywhere out of Scalander.
Oh, and I know the location of the Crescent Gem, but that's it.))
Amy looked over at Solon and said, "I've been looking for you."
"Why?" he asked, not really listening. His eyes were trying to find a trail in the snow that would show where the man went.
"You were the leader of the Moon Theives, weren't you? I was part of that group," she replied.
"Oh... Oh!" he exclaimed, whirling around to face her. "Why were you looking for me?"
"That man... Well, his entire group has been ravanging through Crescent Island, looking for that gem of yours," she explained. "I left to go steal elsewhere, and also to find you and tell you. I never knew its importance, but you always seemed to hold it dearly." Solon just nodded along. I should get back there, he thought to himself.
((Congrats on 100th page BoA!))
Lanbar saw Solon and ran over to him. "Hey! I know where Tanbar is. He's being held hostage on Zaroff's ship and if I remember correctly, I saw his ship still at the dock. We need to get him before he leaves!"
Jas is once again back on the ship.
Harver finished writing his accounts, and walked outside onto the ship's deck. He saw Jas. "What did I miss?" He asked, stretching.
(( Congrats on 100 pages!! ))
" I can't do this. " Boogie continued, " I told Venice i'd help him and his friends! I can't just leave. You can come if you want. "
" I- Uuuh... I. " Shantae ran off the ship.
Boogie really wanted to chase after her, but he couldn't. He had to put this out of his mind.
" Venice... where should we go? "
"Well... we went after some guy that attacked Solon," Jas looks at Harver. "But we couldn't do much..."

"Now Tanbar, too? Great... Just great..." Solon sighed. "This is getting too dangerous for everyone."
"What exactly are you all doing?" Amy asked.
"We're looking for the gems," Solon replied. "Before... Before the Scalus army or the Dead Men get it."

" Venice... where should we go? "
"I don't know," said Venice. "She never exactly stated why you were needed."
((I know Jas and Harver are on the ship...))
Jas leans against the railing, thinking.
Kai walks around the ship thinking.
((Harver is on the ship, not thinking. =P))
Harver walked to Jas. "Really? Where are they now?"
"Hey Scholar"Kai says looking at Harver " what are you guys talking about"
Solon took Amy and Lanbar back to the ship to round everyone up. Solon walked right up to the big speaker in the main cabin and spoke into it.
"Guys?" his voice rang through the ship. "Can everyone meet me at the front of the ship for some strategizing? We've got some things we really need to talk over..." and with that, Solon headed to the front of the ship, dragging Amy and Lanbar with him.
Boogie heard Solon over the loudspeaker.
" Well, I guess we should head to the front of the ship. "
"They should be coming here," Jas says. She looks at Kai grinning, "Hey, another unfinished fight," and starts going to the front of the ship.
Harver nodded, and went to the front of the ship as Solon commanded, already forming strategies in his head.
Kai followed Jas to the front of the ship "Yeah, I guess"

((I'm pretty sure you're right.))
((Are we gonna get back to RPing? >.>))
Jas looks around. "So, we were called here for, why?"
"Yeah, why"
"Well, first of all, why are you all here? Seriously, because if anyone wants out now, I don't blame you. Second of all, Tanbar was stolen," Solon started off. "And I have a whole list of "of all"'s so hang tight."
"Alright." Harver said. "But why was Tanbar kidnapped?"
"I think someone's trying to keep us here," Jas says. "I mean, isn't he our Sailor?"
"No, it's not to keep us here. It's for the Gem of Emit. You know, a trade off. Zaroff wants it, but he has the Scale Gem already, so giving him the Gem of Emit gives him two for five. And that'll leave us with nothing. So, we need to get to him and steal Tanbar back, along with the Scale gem. That means we'll need someone stealthy- a ninja. We'll need someone who can steal- a theif. We'll also need a diversion and someone else to help look around for the gem and Tanbar," Solon replied, counting off his fingers. "So, we need about four or five people..."
As Solon continued, Harver pulled out the Gem of Emit. It had been in his pocket. Someone being kidnapped, all because of this small object? What has the world come to..?
" I can help." Boogie looked back. Shantae had come back and was ready to help Boogie in anyway. She was not wearing her ninja clothes though. Her long, curly, brown hair was flowing in the wind, almost to cliche.
"And if I'm not mistaken you need someone who can fight, you can count on my blade"
"You forget that this Jas is a ninja?" Jas asks. "You know I got you guys."
" I think we can use everyone. " Boogie started. " We all have our pros and cons. " Something else crossed his mind. " We should make a fake gem. "

(( Where's BoA, we kinda can't go on without him >_> ))
"I AM THE BEST FIGHTER, and I'll fight through a path for you guys to follow, then I'll find 'em"

"I'm saying it," Jas looks at him. "You can't just run in on your own..."
"Well, Who is gonna come with me to what may be an early death"
"I agree with Boogie to an extent." Harver said. "We'll need teamwork if we're ever going to get through this. However, making a fake gem will not work. What do you think we should do, Solon?"
Quote from: 20fan on December 29, 2007, 05:20:39 PM
"Well, Who is gonna come with me to what may be an early death"
" No one wants to just jump in!" Boogie was screaming now, and Shantae jumped. " We need to plan this out, and if you want to go, just go now. "
"Maybe I will, Nothing has stopped me before and I might just make the ultimate sacrifice for the team"
"Guys, please stop yelling! We're going to need to work together. I think it's safe to say that not all of us may make it out of this alive, so why spend what may be your last few hours together fighting?" Harver waited for a response.

" You're not acting like you are part of the team, so I do not know what you're talking about. " Boogie said, " So go. "
Solon stopped listening to everyone's plan. He was staring off at the shore across Nimbuslus land. Back to his home... Crescent Island. He had to get back there as soon as possible. A poke brought him back to reality. He looked over to see Amy, looking as if she was waiting for directions.
"Oh, uh, yes! Good plan guys. Go knock 'em dead!" Solon replied, with a thumbs up.

" You're not acting like you are part of the team, so I do not know what you're talking about. " Boogie said, " So go. "
"Why don't shut your darn mouth, I have been here longer than you" Kai turned to Harver "Whats your plan, Scholar"
Boogie looked over at Solon. " Are you even listening? "
Harver looked at Solon quizically. "We don't even have a plan, Solon. Anyway, I think that we should do what we did at Scalus, which is create a diversion team and an infiltration team. However, we should suspect that where Zaroff is hiding in the ship will be large, so we'll need two sub-divisions of the infiltration team. We'll also need more people on the infiltration team than on the diversion team. Everyone still with me?"
"Yeah go on"
Solon shook his head and watched the fighting and rambling continue.
"We don't want to get in a fight with Zaroff," reasoned Solon. "It'd be better if none of us could be seen. So, I think we should have a small team, and a back up team that goes in if the others don't get back in a certain amount of time."
"We have two tasks, one primary and the other secondary." Harver continued. "Our primary task: Find Tanbar and bring him back to the ship. At that point, we will probably have to disembark, so we should start thinking of where to go next after that. Our secondary goal is to find Zaroff and get the Scale Gem. If we can do that, great, if we can't, we'll have to do it another time."
"I'll go in with the first team"
"Calm down." Harver told Kai. "We need Solon's approval, first. For some reason, I think he'll tweak it."
"In case you don't realize, time is a major factor"
Jas sits there, listening, but not saying anything again until now. "I just got a bunch of smoke bombs, masks and all that... Everyone should have some of that in case. Either way, I'm going with the first group to make sure some of you don't start actin' a fool."

If we can do that, great, if we can't, we'll have to do it another time."
" I think our Ninjas should go w-" Boogie was interupted by a tug on his shirt. He looked back at Shantae. " What s it? "
" Did they say 'Zaroff'?" She gave him a worried look.
" Yeah, why? "
" Your brother was with a Zaroff when he attacked our hometome."
Boogie was more intent on going.
" I want to be with the first group. " Boogie said, aloud.
"So you think I'm gonna do something stupid, how encourging"
"If Solon agrees to the plan I've layed out, I'll go in with the first group." Harver said. "The power of the Gem of Emit could help us out."
"Alright, hang on. Zaroff needs to be holding the gem to use it. So, I'll distract him off the ship and try and steal the gem while the rest of you think up a plan of going in there and getting Tanbar back. I might need one or two more people on the "Get the Scale Gem" team, in case he's too much for me," decided Solon. "So, Harver can figure out which groups will search what area and I'll deal with getting the gem."
Jas shakes her head and looks at the ground. 'I just don't want any of you dead...'
"Alright, Scholar which team am I on"
"Hmm..." Harver reconsidered. "In that case, I think I'll go with Solon on retrieving the Scale Gem. The Gem of Emit should help us there more, in a free space." Harver then began to think about who should go on which team.
I want Jas to be on one of the more safe teams, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something bad happened to her... But is there a safe path? Harver sighed, confused. Emit, help me. "Alright." Harver began. "First, I need to know who's in and who's out on this operation."
" I'm in. " Boogie and Shantae said at the same time.
Solon thought for a second. "The fact that you have the gem is the reason you shouldn't come with me," Solon replied. "If he kills you or me, or both of us, the gem is his. You'll need the gem in case he gets away from me, so you can give the others extra time of searching, or a few minutes to slip out of the boat," Solon finished.
"If I wasn't with you guys," Jas folds her arms. "Do you honestly think I'd be standing here?"
"I'm in" Kai drew his falchion and raised it i n the air.
((Are Venice and Trin with us?))
((Venice was with Boogie, so yeah he probably came along. And Trin kept on following, so she's here, too.))
"Alright, once you've got the teams ready, I'll go down and lure him out. Once we're out of sight, go in there and find Tanbar!" Solon told Harver.
Jas watches them, waiting for them to make a decision. 'As much as I HATE taking orders...'
((G2G, Bye))
"Ok, I have the teams prepared." Harver started. "The Diversion Team shall consist of Trin, Venice, Shantae and Nimbus. The Infiltration Team Division A will consist of Jas, Boogie, Lanbar, Amy, and me. Our job will be to find Tanbar and bring him back to the ship in one piece." Harver turned to Solon. "Which leaves Division B to Solon and Kai. Since Kai keeps boasting about his fighting skills, I'm sure the two of you will make an adequate team.
"Any questions?" Harver finished.
((bye 20))
"Team Division A," Jas mumbles something about the way that was worded then pulls something out. "Here," its that large amount of masks and various marble-like bombs. "Grab ten of each and a mask..." She had to take charge of something...
" I want Shantae on the same team as me. " Boogie said, with a stern face. He wasn't in a joking mood.
"You don't need a diversions team. I'll be getting Zaroff out of there, then you will be able use everyone to search the ship. There is a bottom and a top and it is huge, so you'll need to make use of the size. I think there should be a team for the bottom, a team for the top, and then split the two teams into a left side flank and a right side. Also, if you are going to spare someone to go to the Diversion team with me, it should be a theif or ninja," Solon commented.
"As much as I know this needs careful planning," Jas starts. "We can't go disagreeing with eachother back and forth like this. If we're gonna do something, come up with a plan and stick with it. We've been standing around and it's driving me crazy..."

((We're planning on infilitrating Zaroff's boat to get Tanbar back, who was stolen. We are all on the ship, you and Trin are there, too. Just, waiting I guess.))
"We have a plan, it just needs to be tweaked. There really only needs to be two or so people in each group. Zaroff will be out with me, so you won't need to worry about running into him. But, I think Harver should be on the top level, in an area where he can watch to see if Zaroff is coming back. That way, he can use the Gem of Emit to get everyone out of he sees Zaroff," Solon offered his plan.
"Run, run, run," Jas looks out at the water. "We shouldn't run every time he shows up. One day, we're gonna have to stand and fight ya know..."
(( BoA, you should update the first post ))
((Good idea, I'll do that... soon.))
"What, you don't think I can take him?" Solon asked Jas. "Believe me, all I need to do is take the gem, then I'll kick some Zaroff ass!"

"What, you don't think I can take him?" Solon asked Jas. "Believe me, all I need to do is take the gem, then I'll kick some Zaroff ass!"
" No!" Boogie butted in "We already decided to not make only one person fight Zaroff!
"Sure, he's strong with the gem. But I'm a theif, I can take it from him before he says, whatever he says, then I can put in the damage. Lanbar said himself that Zaroff had been a cheap idiot who had others do his dirty work. Without the gem, he'll be a piece of cake," shrugged Solon. "I'll need the practice anyway."
((Summary plz?))
"Why are you being stubborn?" Jas puts a hand on her forehead. "Now it's getting reckless..."
((Solon is now the one being stubborn))
((We're planning how we'll go in and get Tanbar back. You really haven't missed much. Just senseless arguing))
"I'll take someone with me," Solon argued. "It should be a theif or ninja, in case I need help stealing the gem. But mainly whoever Harver doesn't want to put with his teams."

"I'll go with you." Lanbar said. "This is my brother that I need to get back so I think I should go."
"Well I'm right here," Jas leans back. "All you have to do is ask..."
"Lanbar, you look way too much like Tanbar... If he sees you he'll want to run back and see if the place was broken into. As for you, Jas, you sure you want to come? It'll be dangerous, atleast that's what all I've been hearing," Solon replied. "But, where's the fun without the risk?"

"Hey! This is my family we're talking about here! I'm going to be the one who gets my brother!" Lanbar said to Solon's remark.
Jas closes her eyes. "Dangerous... I've been telling you that hangin' with me would be dangerous since that incident in Scalus. I can do it."
"Danger's my middle name," Solon joked. "Well actually it's Andrew, but I can pretend, can't I? And Lanbar, I'm going on the distraction team. If you want your bro back, go on the infilitrating team. Maybe you can get a twin vibe of where he is. So, we understand what we are doing? Jas and I'll be distracting, while everyone else infilitrates the base."
"Alright then...Wait, just two people?" Lanbar said. "I'll gladly go and get my brother back but are you sure that you only want two people as the distraction?"
"Too many people would make it suspicious. I'm being way too leniant with two. Besides, don't you and you're brother have some connecton that'll help you find him?" Solon asked.
"Before we go, shouldn't we decide who splits up into which quadrant of the ship?" Harver reasoned.
"Yeah, we're waiting on you. As soon as you finish up and get ready, we'll start the distraction. Remember: Don't expose yourself until we're out of sight," Solon tipped Harver off.
Harver cracked a smile and said, "Thanks for the tip." He walked away to rearrange the teams.
((@Birdie: Can you please re-do the front page sometime soon? It would be much easier for me to rearrange the teams with everything updated.))
((Want me to smack him around some so he'll do it LS? >=)))
"I gave you guys those materials," Jas says. "If you do use 'em, use 'em wisely, okay?"
((No thanks, I'll let him do it when he gets around to it. No pressure, Birdie. ;) I almost have the teams figured out, though.))
Harver walked up to Jas, and took the materials. Before leaving, he leaned in close to her and whispered, "Be careful". He left to finish organizing the teams.
((I did it already :P. I'm pretty fast, I just won't do it until it needs to be done. Which makes me slow... So I'm a really slowly fast person.))
((lol'd at "A stolen Tanbar". xD Also, is it ok if Harver goes solo? Or should he be with a group of three?))
((If you want to go solo, you can. It might work out better that way, since I forgot to count that Jas and Solon won't be with the groups.))
((Tanbar's a thing now? People are probably gonna think he's one of the jewels or something. XD))
Jas nods, then pulls her mask up and ties it.
((lol))
Harver returned to the group, and handed each their assigned quadrant and team mates. The groups are as follows.
Lower-Left:
Nimbus, Lanbar, & Amy
Lower-Right:
Boogie, Trin, & Shantae
Top-Left:
Kai & Venice
Top-Right:
Harver
Group going to Zaroff:
Jas & Solon
"Everyone ready?" He asked after doing the above.
Good. I have a feeling that I'll find Tanbar in this part. I can just feel it. Lanbar smiled as he looked at the paper.

Jas & Solon
"Everyone ready?" He asked after doing the above.
"Great," said Venice. "I'm stuck with the hothead."
"Alright, let's go," Solon replied, jumping off the boat without waiting for Jas. He ran right up to the huge ship of Zaroff, farther down.
"Hasty much?" Jas stops by Solon, then looks up at the ship.
"Alright... We need to get him out of there..." Solon whispered to himself. With a running start, he hopped and landed loudly onto Zaroff's ship. "AWESOME! A FREE SHIP FOR THE TAKING!" he yelled as loudly as he could. "AND IT'S ALL MIIIIIINE!" he began stomping around and jumping up to the main controls.
There was movement from underneath, and soon Zaroff appeared. "What in bloody hell? Get off my ship!" Solon unscrewed the steering wheel to the ship.
"If you ever want to control you're ship again, you're gonna have to catch me!" Solon yelled, taking the wheel and jumping back off the ship. "There, that should do the trick..."
"Good luck to us all." Harver said, preparing to leave. "I hope to see you all back here." He ran to the ship, prepared to find Tanbar. This would be one hard test.
And so we go.
Lanbar got on to the ship and slipped inside and headed toward the lower-left side without anybody noticing. This is sort of nerve-wracking. I need to be careful if any soldiers come this way.
"Your ship," Jas glances around. "Jeeze the design's so tacky..." She runs off after Solon. "Triflin' lookin' too."
"Get back here you good for nothing theives!" roared Zaroff, running slowly behind him.
"We should slow down for him," Solon whispered to Jas. "We can't get too far ahead of him. I'll run behind you and if he gets me, I'll throw this steering wheel thing to you, and just keep running."
Jas grins, "No problem," then taunts Zaroff again. "That's Ninja to you ya good for nothin' ol' poop!" She slows down only a little.
Solon heard Zaroff make a loud yell and turned around to see a piece of a shop coming their way. "Look out!" Solon shouted. "Dive to the side!" he did a dive to the right and slid into an alley way. He heard Zaroff coming into the alley way behind him.
"Well, well, well, no where to run," laughed Zaroff. Solon didn't even reply, he jumped up and threw the steering wheel over the fence at the end of the alley. Then, he began climbing up.
"Thank god you're so fat!" yelled Solon when he made it over. He picked the wheel back up and tried to figure out where to go from there.
Jas jumps onto a garbage can, then goes into a backflip. While she's in the air, she flicks a smoke bomb at Zaroff, and it activates as soon as it touches the ground. She lands on the other side next to Solon, then starts running again. "Come on, I think I got an idea..."
" Well... lets go. " Boogie said, grabing Shantae's hand and jumped onto Zaroff's ship. He had forgot about his third team mate.
Harver walked cautiously across the upper half of the ship, looking around to make sure no one was near him. He sighed. There's no doubt they'd be hiding Tanbar below the deck... then why did Solon tell us to stay up here? Life is definitely an enigma.
Lanbar was creeping through the hallways. He quickly hid in a dark corner when two soldiers ran by. He overheard them say, "Hurry, there's two rouges on the ship!" Well...It looks like Solon and Jas are doing their jobs right. I think I'm getting closer, I can feel his presence. I suppose being twins is really helpful at times.

" Well... lets go. " Boogie said, grabing Shantae's hand and jumped onto Zaroff's ship. He had forgot about his third team mate.
Trin followed after them. "Thanks for remembering," she said sarcastically.
"Sometimes the stunts you do make me want to be a ninja," Solon sighed, following her.
---
"Wait up," Amy whispered, following him through the ship. "So, are you getting any twin vibes?"
((I said there should be two upper groups and two bottom groups. I didn't want everyone on the top floor.))
"Yeah, he's close. It's not that much farther." Lanbar whispered back after looking around the corner to see any other guards.
Harver sighed. No one was near where he was. They were all either following Zaroff or below decks. All of a sudden, he saw a shadow. He turned and came face to face with a black hooded person. Harver drew his katana while the figure drew his sword. They prepared to clash.
Harver had only been on the ship for a few minutes, and he was already fighting for his life against one of the Dead Men.

((I said there should be two upper groups and two bottom groups. I didn't want everyone on the top floor.))
"Hey, go for it. No one said it's easy though," Jas says shrugging and turning around a corner. "He should somehow get around, right? We can wait, then ambush him..."
Harver's katana and the Dead Man's blade met with a sharp cling. They each forced their own blade into the other's, but neither gave in. Eventually, they skidded away. The Dead Man ran back to Harver with his blade at his side, and Harver waited in anticipation, his blade at ready position. The Dead Man sliced at Harver, missing miserably, as Harver sidestepped the attack.
Harver then hit the man on the back with the flat end of his sword. The man grunted in pain, and quickly turned around to continue the swordfight. He swung his sword at Harver's chest, and a thin cut was made. Blood started to come out, but it wasn't a fatal wound. Harver started to pant. I can't use the Gem of Emit yet. I have to use it at a more important time. He readied himself for the next attack.
"Well, I wouldn't give him that much credit. He might have no clue where we've gone. You stay here, I'll go back and lead him this way. Then jump out and attack him. I'll try and take the gem away while you're doing that," Solon decided. He gave Jas the steering wheel to take care of, then ran back out to look for Zaroff.
"Wait a minite-" But it seems like it's too late to try and stop him. "Oooh, darnit!" She sits in the shadows of the ally, waiting. If Solon didn't return soon, she'd go after him.
Lanbar finally walked into a room that looked like the captain's quarters. He saw Tanbar sitting in a chair tied up and a hankercheif around his mouth. Tanbar was obviously trying to say something but it couldn't be understood. "Tanbar! I finally found you!" He ran over there but a metal cage fell over Tanbar and was now out of reach.
"Hm...Well, I have to congradulate you on figuring out a decent plan to get your precious sailor back." Said a mysterious man in the shadows of the room. "But you overlooked me!" He said unsheathing his sword while still in the shadows.
"W-who are you?" Lanbar said also taking his sword out.
Solon walked around a couple buildings and through an alley way. He couldn't quite remember where Zaroff was, and he kept retracing his steps to find him. He thought he heard movement in one alley and he jumped in front of it. It ended up being a cat. The cat hissed and ran at Solon.
"Ah!" he yelled out as the cat slashed his cheek. "Hey! That heard you son of a-" there was more movement behind him and he turned around to see Zaroff. "Oh, eh heh, there you are." Zaroff was holding a trash can lid. "You know, if you get a second one of those lids you would look just like those wind up monkeys."
"Give me my steering wheel back," Zaroff hissed.
"Aw, come on, you know the rules. You've got to tag me first!" Solon replied, running back to where Jas was.
---
"Wow, things just keep getting better..." Amy sighed, looking around at the voice that spoke. She walked over and took the hankercheif out of Tanbar's mouth.
The Dead Man roared as he ran at Harver with his blade above his head, as if he was going to chop Harver into pieces. Again, Harver sidestepped the attack. But instead of hitting him with the flat end of his blade as he had done before, he waited for the man to turn around.
At that point, Harver stabbed the man in the shoulder. He quickly withdrew the blade before the man had time to react, and sliced at his chest. The man fell backwards, his blade still clutched in his hand. He hit the deck with a solid thud.
Harver sheathed his sword, believing the battle was over. Now I need to pull back his hood, and take a look at his face. I need to know as much about these Dead Men as I possibly can. He kneeled in front of the man, and reached for his hood. That was when it happened.
In a flash, the fallen man raised his sword and stabbed Harver in the chest. Harver froze. The next second he was coughing up blood. He unsheathed his sword again, while he still had his energy, and sliced the man's head clean off. He was dead.
Harver took the sword out of his chest, grunting. Crap! My vision's going blurry... He looked around, trying to focus. No! I can't die yet. I need to live! He fell facedown on the deck, thinking about the one person he cared about that moment. The one person who - though Harver didn't know it - didn't want anyone to die. The one he ice skated with, and spent the best time of his life with. He focused on her, hoping that someway she could hear, or that someway he could gain his strength back.
Jas...
Jas begins pulling her twin blades out of their sheaths as the footsteps draw closer and closer. 'Heh, about darn time Solon found him. We don't have time to waste.'
"It's a trap!" Tanbar shouted after the hankercheif was taken off.
"Gee, thanks Tanbar, that's REALLY helpful now." He said in a sarcastic tone. "But...I'm still glad to see you're okay."
"Aw...Isn't this almost brings a tear to my eye...almost." He said stepping out of the shadows. He was dressed exactly like Zaroff except he was extreamly scrawny and the sword he had was just a regular crescent sword. "Too bad I, Zaronn, will have to kill you!"
"Zaronn?" Lanbar and Tanbar said in unison.
((Well, she didn't say she wanted anyone to die out loud... And Harver can't die yet D:))
"Whoa, incoming!" Solon shouted, jumping over one of the lids thrown at him. Solon looked back to see he had two more in his hands. "Ha, nice try!" he shouted again, as he ducked over the next one. I think it's the next alley way over... Solon ran past the alley way Jas was in, then doubled back when he saw her. The next lid went flying and smacked him right in the face. He fell over and blacked out.

((I editted my post. And the trend continues. :P))
'Idiot! Why didn't you keep going!?' Jas waits until Zaroff gets ahead of her to spring out and slash at the back of his neck with the blade in her right hand. 'Looks like I'm on my own...'
((Jasi gets to kill him and take the jewel. ^^))

Zaroff whirled around, the blade not even leaving a scratch on his leather neck. "Where's the wheel?" he hissed looking around. He lumbered over to Solon and picked him up. He shook him a couple of times, and the only thing that fell out was stolen money. "Where's the WHEEL!?"

The word you were looking to describe Zaroff would be antagonist. And no; he's more of a support villain. The main antagonist is the leader of the Dead Men, whoever that may be.
So, in our story, Solon is the protagonist, and the leader of the Dead Men is the antagonist. Kapeesh?))

"Son of a muthafriggin'..." Jas lunges, striking at Zaroff again. "Maybe you're not gettin' the wheel back!"
((I'm the protagonist? Cool! So much for killing myself off :P.))
Zaroff used Solon to block the strike and it ripped through his shirt. ((Eh, it's already burned and I barely wear it any way...)) "Give me wheel!" Zaroff cried out, swinging Solon like he was a flimsy club at Jas.
((LOL, Zaroff is like a gigantic baby... Say, do any of you read the Pendragon books?))
Jas manages to stop her strike before it actually hit Solon, then moves to the side to avoid being hit with Solon. "Heh, that ugly wheel? Why not buy another?" She kicks at Zaroff's gut then grabs onto Solon in attempt to free him.
"Yes, I am Zaroff's twin." Zaronn said.
"But you look nothing like the brute!" Lanbar said.
"That...is because the Scale Gem has changed him. We used to be exactly alike, just like you and Tanbar." He said stepping closer to Lanbar with his sword.
"Then how come we have never heard of you?" Tanbar said.
"Remember how it seemed that Zaroff was getting places really fast when you sailed the seas as a pirate..." He said to Lanbar.
"Oh yeah, I do remember that...Oh! I get it. You just said you were Zaroff to make it look like he was so fast!" Lanbar said.
"Hm...you're actually sort of smart...sort of." He said swinging his sword at Lanbar who quickly blocked it. "But nowhere near as smart as me! I knew that you would try to create a distraction, only Zaroff would be dumb enough to fall for it!" He said as he swung again but this time more angrilly and Lanbar had to jump out of the way. "That gem has completely changed him! We no longer have a brotherly relation! He's just too stupid!" Hw was now furiously swinging at Lanbar who was starting to have trouble dodging it all. He was starting to be barely skimmed by the sword.
Man! This guy is fast! This is going to be harder than fighting Zaroff! I haven't seen anyone move so quickly.
((Nope, never read the books.
As for the fast thing, Zaronn's got the Cloud gem, doesn't he?))
"I trade you... this rag for wheel?" Zaroff offered, pulling Solon farther into the air.
---
Amy began untying Tanbar, since Lanbar didn't seem to be any help. "Wow, just when you think you've seen it all," she muttered, finishing untying Tanbar.
Jas keeps kicking at Zaroff. As her grip on Solon tightens, she's lifted into the air as well. "Grrr..."
Solon blinked his eyes open. He saw Jas, and the ground farther down. "Why do I keep on seeing you every time I wake up?" he asked. He looked up to see he was being held by Zaroff. "Well, this is cozy," he joked.

((Not to sound like a fanboy or anything, but: I LOVE THE PENDRAGON BOOKS!))
((How'd you know? :P))
Lanbar had a few cuts but nothing major but he was out of breath trying to keep this guy at a safe distance. "How are you so fast." He said breathing heavily.
"Easy, I have the Cloud Gem!" He said holding it out.
"What?! You found it?" Lanbar said in disbelief.
"Yes, while you fools -including Zaroff- were fooling around yesterday, I found the Cloud Gem!"
Tanbar looked at Amy as if to give her thanks for untying him. After he was untied, he slipped through the bars, which were just big enough for him to slip through. He then began to creep up on to Zaronn, rose his sword and swung at his head.
CLANG! ((lulz onomatopeia(sp?)))
Zaronn blocked the sword swing.
Holy crap! He's that fast! Lanbar was shocked by the speed, he didn't even see Zaronn prepare for this.
"You really thought you could get me with that?" He said. "You fools! As Zaroff is too strong for you guys," He said slashing at Tanbar with extream speeds and only leaving small cuts. "I am just too fast!"
He may have not gotten a direct hit on me but I could barely see him move! Tanbar thought unsheathing his sword.

"Finally, I've had my smart moment," Solon beamed. "And now the blood is rushing to my head..." Alright, time to get out of here... "Zaroff! The wheel is in the hand you're holding me in!" Solon gasped. Zaroff let go, it seemed that the longer he had the gem, the more of a strong, big, caveman he became.
"In hand?" Zaroff asked. Solon fell on top of Jas.
"Sorry," he muttered, getting off of her. "Yeah, Zaroff. Look really hard..." Solon tip toed over and pickpocketed the gem. "That was easy..."
"It's not here!" roared Zaroff. He swiped at Solon, it hit him and Solon felt himself going flying and hitting a wall.
Solon threw Jas the gem and yelled, "Hurry go find the others. I'll take care of this ugly old brute." He stood up and shook himself off.

"Okay, It looks like we need to team up." Lanbar said.
"Alright then." Tanbar said jumping behind Zaronn.
"Oh please, do you think you can beat me with some stupid team-up?"
"Nobody's ever been able-" Lanbar started.
"-To beat the power of-" Tanbar continued.
"The Twin Typhoon!" They both said together. And once they said that, Lanbar started swinging his sword at Zaronn from the front and Tanbar was striking from the back but Zaronn was using his sword to block all the attacks.
He may be fast but he won't be able to block us if we speed up. We'll just toy with him for a while before finishing him off.

"Oh please, do you think you can beat me with some stupid team-up?"
"Nobody's ever been able-" Lanbar started.
"-To beat the power of-" Tanbar continued.
"The Twin Typhoon!" They both said together. And once they said that, Lanbar started swinging his sword at Zaronn from the front and Tanbar was striking from the back but Zaronn was using his sword to block all the attacks.
He may be fast but he won't be able to block us if we speed up. We'll just toy with him for a while before finishing him off.
((Twin Typhoon? Corny name, much?))
((He looks waay better than you T_L, but I'm not a crazy fangirl))
"You already got knocked out," Jas takes a step back. "Why not let me fight?"

((...Why was I just called Melanie?))
"If you really want to..." Solon started. But Zaroff punched him in the head. It hurt, but he was already getting weaker. "But atleast let me get some payback for that cheap shot!"

"Fine," Jas glances at the gem in her hand, reminded of her own.
Solon flashed a smile then took out his sword. "Today will be the last time I black out from a knock to my head," he said, pointing his sword at Zaroff. "I think my head is finally starting to get immune to it." He began slashing at Zaroff with his sword.
"My power... Why... How? Did you take my gem?" Zaroff winced, as one of Solon's shots sliced through his arm. He was starting to get some speech back.
"No, maybe you used all the power," Solon replied, jabbing and hitting his shoulder. "Alright he's all yours." Solon said, taking the Scale Gem from Jas as he finished his shot.
"Now then," Jas twirls her blades around, a slightly evil smile forming. She lunges at Zaroff, slashing at his midsection.
"Alright, Tanbar, enough playing around. Let's speed up!" Lanbar said.
"Yes! Finally!" Tanbar said as thier swords suddenly quickened in speed.
"Hm...I'll give you this, this is now a challenge with only one sword." Zaronn said.
"That's right, you're done now!" Tanbar said.
"I don't think so." He said with a smug look. He reached to his side and pulled out another sword.
"Now!" Tanbar shouted.
Lanbar quickly reached into his pocket and threw a smoke bomb. "Quick! Run!" And the two ran out of there and escaped the ship while Zaronn was still in the smoke.
The blade cut Zaroff's skin, but he was fast enough to pull away just enough
---
Amy walked out with them, a little confused about what happened. "Maybe we should go find Solon and Jas now?" she suggested.
"That'd be a good idea." Lanbar said.
"And we should leave the island as soon as we can before Zaronn decides to chase after us." Tanbar said. The two split up. Lanbar went to find Solon and Tanber went to find Jas.
Jas turns, and swings her other blade around to strike Zaroff.
Tanbar runs up to Jas. "Hurry, we need to leave before he gets here! Forget about the fight with Zaro-" He was cut off. hm...It looks like they got the gem...But then Zaronn would want to get it back! "We need to leave, now!"
Zaroff felt the blade cut into his side. Angered, and realizing he couldn't win, he began running away.
"Don't think you've seen the last of me!" he shouted behind his back.
"Wow, what a coward..." Solon sighed. "Nice battle, though."
"Solon, Jas, we need to leave now!" Lanbar said running in.
"That's what I just said!" Tanbar said. "We need to leave before he comes!"
"Coulda made bacon outta him," Jas flicks the blood off her swords. "Alright, let's go then..."
"I doubt his brother would have let that happen." Lanbar said. "And we need to leave before he gets here and takes back the Scale Gem!"
"Fine," Jas sheathes the blades, then starts running back towards the ship.
"What's with the brother theme? Maybe I should get a brother..." Solon replied. "But yes, let's get out of here. I'm getting really bored of Nimbuslus Land... Where's the others?"
"Everyone else... They're probably by the docks," Jas says to Solon. "Let's just get them and go."
"I think they're on the ship now..." Tanbar said. "We need to hurry before-"
"I get here?" Zaronn said from behind Tanbar.
"Yes, before...you...get......here." Tanbar said turning around slowly.
"Hi, I believe you have something that belongs to my brother..." He said.
"Yeah...About that...Bye!" Tanbar started running toward the ship with Lanbar following.
"Run!" Lanbar shouted.
"Besides his dignity, I don't have anything of your brothers," Solon replied, following suite and running out of there. "C'mon, Jas!" he called back.
Jas runs off, throwing a smoke bomb, and a sleep bomb down behind her. She glances back, then quickly catches up to the others.
Zaronn quickly ran out of range of the two smokes and back to the ship where he waited for Zaroff who just then walked onto the ship with his head hung low. "I thought you were as stupid as you could get before you had that gem but now...Now you've lost it!"
"I'm...I'm sorry!" He said. "That gem made me a total idiot! But we'll get that gem back. I swear it!"
"Correction, I'll get it. I'm the one now with the brains and speed." thanks to the Cloud Gem "Don't worry, we'll have the gem the next time we see them."
Meanwhile...
Tanbar and Lanbar were running around on the ship trying to prepare it for departure.
Jas watches Lanbar and Tanbar, then looks out at the land. "There's nothing I can do to help get us outta here faster?"
"Well, we're already to leave for Crescent Island so all we need to do is make sure everyone is here." Lanbar said. "So...You can help us with that!"
((Just remembered something. Didn't Harver get stabbed?))
"Okay you guys, ROLL CALL!" Once Jas has everyone's attention, she looks over the group, mumbling names as she sees the person they belong to.
((Yeah, he did...))
"Well, obviously we're not all here," Solon replied. "We're missing Harver, Venice, the new girls, Boogie..." Solon counted them all on his hands. "Two of us should go back on that boat and look for them, the other two should protect the gems. So, who'll be going on board with me?" Solon asked, throwing the Scale Gem at the three of them and climbing back down the ship.
"Well, me and Tanber will stay and watch the gem...and ship." Lanbar said.
"I'll go," Jas says heading off the ship. "Mister over here always has to get into trouble."
Solon was already on the other ship again. "Should we split up?" he asked Jas. He didn't really care either way, it was all up to her.
"You know...I'm not sure that they can handle Zaronn." Tanbar said.
"What do you mean? It's Solon and Jas, I'm sure they can handle him." Lanbar replied.
"But he took on the Twin Typhoon and he only said it was a challenge once we sped up!" Tanbar said.
"Well...We still have the other two Twin Typhoons that we haven't used yet." Lanbar said. "And we don't need to worry about them getting the gem back, 'cause we have it here!"
"Well...I suppose you're right." Tanbar said.
"Now that's the spirit! Remember, 'always look on the bright side of life'" Lanbar said.
"No, we shouldn't," Jas is already looking around. "Dunno what we'll run into..."
((Hey, should I control Zaronn now? Because there isn't really much for Labnar and Tanbar to do on the ship...Well, actually, I have to go now. XP Bye))
((Yeah, could you? You know his personality better))
"Let's look on the top first," Solon decided. "Unless, you want to look on the bottom..." He decided Jas could order him around. He kept on making the final decisions in everything they did, it was probably annoying to everyone else, and he remembered Jas saying she hated taking orders.
((Actally, I can stay a while longer. :P))
Zaronn watched the two on the ship from a hidden corner. "So what are you waiting for? Get them!" Zaroff said to him.
"No, let them wander around, maybe I can see some of their capabilities." Zaronn said. He grabbed a walkie talkie and spoke into it. "Soldiers, top deck imediately, there are intruders." Now I can see what they're capable of.
Jas thought she heard something click. "I think someone's around here... Where did we send everyone anyways?"
"Well, Harver sent half of them to the top floor and half of them to the bottom," Solon replied. "There is only one group below, and two groups above. I think we should find Harver first since he has... You know," Solon also got the feeling that they were being watched, so he talked about the gem in "code".
"Yeah, the candy he owes me," Jas says. "But then where'd he go? We'll go there."
Zaronn once again talked into the walkie talkie. "What are you waiting for. Get up here!" And after that, a couple of soldiers, about twelve came up onto the deck. "Now get them!" The soldiers then charged them.
"Well, wherever he went isn't where we're going," Solon replied, taking out his sword. Half of their enemies had guns. Solon knew he left behind his gun somewhere, so it was about time he got a new one. He slashed the neck of one of the soldiers with guns and picked it up. "Perfect..." A bullet whizzed by him, cutting a few strands of his hair. "Who shot that bullet!?" shouted Solon, aiming the gun at some of the soldiers and shooting.
Jas draws her short swords, ready to fight again. "Heh, a party for us?" 'Better not show off so much.' She slices two of the enemies' necks, making sure not to pull anything fancy.
Hm...It looks like my soldiers aren't enough to bring out their true colors. I guess I'll just have to face them myself.
"Zaronn and Zaroff are probably close," Solon said to Jas through some of his bullet shots. "We should try and sneak past these guys soon and find the others!" Another bullet shot right by him. "Dammit, can you not shoot at me when I'm talking!?"
"Alright then. Soldiers, return to your origional duties." Zaronn said aproaching the two. "I'll take you both on." He took out one of his swords. "Go ahead, I'll let you have the first strike!"
Just as Zaronn said that, Jas pulled one of her swords out of a soldier's gut, causing him to fall over. She flings the blood off, watching her new enemy closely.
"I suddenly see what Harver sees in you," Solon joked, looking at the gutted man on the ground. "There is nothing more attracting then that. Anyone can try, but that's just my number one."
"Go ahead." Zaronn said smiling. "I'm waiting. Or am I going to kill you before you even attack?"
"Oh, right. I'm sorry, you're so frightening, ignoring you was my ony way to not be scared. Anyway, if I can have the first shot..." Solon pulled out his gun and shot a bullet to the left, right, and at Zaronn.
"What was I supposed to do?" Jas is holding something behind her back, waiting for something. "He had a gun in my face..."
Zaronn deflected the three shots with his sword. "Oh c'mon. This is childs play." He said with a chuckle. "Since I'm such a good sport, I'll let you have the second attack too!"
"I was complimenting your grace. Now watch this cool move," Solon replied. He fired three more bullets at Zaronn. After he fired his shots he spun the gun around and blew the top of it ((like in all those moves)). "This here is mah territory. There ain't enough room here for the both of us," Solon said in a western accent.
Once again, the bullets were deflected with ease. "Heh heh...I'll give you this, you made me laugh. But that's not enough!" He then ran toward him at a normal speed and slashed at him.
((Now I g2g, bye guys.))
((I gotta go too, whaddaya know...))
Solon hopped back and shot another bullet at Zaronn while he was close up.
((Bye Hobo and BoA))
Jas pulls Solon away, then throws the flash bomb she was hiding after making sure their eyes were covered. A bright wight light fills the room. It would temporarily blind Zaronn if her plan worked.
((Summary please))
((Solon and Jas got the Scale gem, but only Lanbar, Tanbar, and Amy got out of the ship. So, Solon and Jas gave the gem to Lanbar, Tanbar, and Amy to protect while they went onto the ship to search for everyone. But, there is a new enemy: Zaronn. He has the cloud gem making him extremely fast. Look back on the early pages to check what part of the ship you were on and with who.))
"Erghh..." Harver slowly opened his eyes, and rolled to his side. He tried to remember all that had happened. His hand floated down to his chest shere the Dead Man had stabbed him...
He immediately shot upright. The wound was gone. He looked to the deck where they had fought. Harver's blood was still there, but the wound itself had disappeared. His eyes levitated to where he had killed the Dead Man. He was gone.
Harver stood up, confused. I need to know how long I've been out, and I need to find the others... I hope everyone's alright. He set off to find anyone he knew around the ship.
((I'm going to be gone for most of today, so please don't proceed like 20 pages. That would make it pretty hard to get back. O_O))
Zaronn dodged the bullet but was blinded in one eye by the flash, the other one was closed luckily for him. "Gah!" He stood there dazed for a second getting used to looking with only one eye. "I'm going to get you two for that!"
Harver heard some noise, and ran to where he thought it was coming from. He stopped when he saw Jas and Solon fighting Zaronn. He sighed in relief when he saw that they were ok, but then unsheathed his sword as a few soldiers saw him. "Get him!" They shouted. He sliced the two soldiers down with a couple of sword slashes.
Harver shouted out to the other two, "Need any help?"
Zaronn turned around and could feel it, Harver had another gem. Hm...I suppose I should get it from him...But I'll just toy around with him first. Zaronn ran up to Harver in a flash and got into a fighting stance. "I see you can take on my soldiers, but can you take on me?"
"I can see that you have the Cloud Gem." Harver said, also getting in a fighting stance. "Tell me first, do I look like an illusion to you?" Harver had to prove if his theory was correct.
"I know not that but I do know the gem you have with you!" He said swinging his sword at incredible speeds but the swings were only ment to leave small cuts on Harver.
Harver jumped back, trying to dodge the attack. Unfortunately, one of the slashes left a tiny, thin cut on his left arm. Heh... so my theory is correct. "Is that all you've got?" He asked Zaronn, trying to make him lose his temper.
"Oh no. There's plenty more I have." He said with a smile. "And don't think I mess up as easily as my brother." He once again repeated his furry of swings but at a slightly quicker speed.
Once again, Harver jumped backwards, dogding all the strikes. But this time, Harver countered and did a fake attack to the right, and then brought the blade down to his feet, and sliced there.
Zaronn dodged the fake strike and quickly jumped to avoid the real attack. He then ran behind Harver with a blinding speed. "Is that all YOU'VE got?" Zaronn said repeating his lighting-fast slashes from behind.
Time! He went behind Zaronn, so that his strikes would hit nothing. Time! "So, I suppose the code of Bushido does not apply to one such as yourself?"
Ooc// Bushido?
Hm...that must be the Emit Gem he has. No matter, he has his limit to using it. Zaronn turned around quickly and was already attacking Harver again.
OOC//
1) Bushido, I believe, is the code of the samurai. A part of it teaches that no one should strike someone with the point of his sword from behind, I think.
2) I'm pretty sure all of the gems have a limit.
IC//
Harver jumped up to avoid the strikes, and ended up coming down on the flat end of Zaronn's sword.
Ooc// Or do they? :O...>_>;
Ic// Zaronn pulled the sword out from under Harver. "Impressive, you've only gotten one cut from my one sword...But then again, I haven't used the fullest of my powers!"
Harver's feet hit the deck with a thud. "Try me." He said. His grip on his sword adjusted so that he could easily do something against Zaronn's assault.
"Heh...heh...heh...You sure are in a hurry to DIE!" He pulled out another sword. "Let's see you dodge all of this!" He swung the two swords at Harver still at incredible speeds aiming to leave many small cuts to his arms and sides.
Harver pulled his sword at such an angle so that Zaronn's two swords hit Harver's own with a metallic clang. Harver shifted his body so he could give more power into his blade.
"Hm...very nice, but that was only one swing of my swords!" He said taking a step back. "Do you truely want to see how fast I can be?"
"Depends." Harver skipped backwards so that Zaronn couldn't have the time to react. "How fast are you?"
"You wouldn't believe it if I told you." He said with a smug smile.
Harver held his sword tightly, waiting for Zaronn to move.
"Do you really want to see my powers?" He said. "Just look at that barrel over there on the other side of the ship." He pointed in that dirrection. "And I swear, under my honor that I won't attack you when you look."
"Very funny." Harver said, not moving an inch. "You say you won't attack me when I'll go over to the barrel. So I look into it, and that's when you steal my gem. Sorry, but that isn't going to happen."
"Hm...Alright then, I'll just use my extreme speeds on you to show you!" It seemed that he just stood there but then, Harver's clothes started to get cuts in it despite the appearance of Zaronn not moving.
OOC// Godmodding much? :-\
IC// Harver realized what was happening, and called upon his gem. Time! He caught Zaronn when he was about to go in for another quick attack. He placed the sharp end of his sword on Zaronn's neck, so that when he resumed, the blade would cut into his neck, and he would be decapitated. Game over.
Time!
Solon was getting bored of watching Harver and Zaronn fight. But, atleast that was one less person to look for. Maybe I should wait around and try and pickpocket the Cloud Gem? Solon thought while watching the fight unfold. He inched closer to Zaronn, but then had an easier idea. Instead, he snuck in the basement and began looking for everyone else.
((The cloud gem makes Zaronn super fast... It's a little unrealistic that Harver can block all of these shots >.>))
OOC// Some of those last shots did hit Harver. I just haven't included them in the post yet.
Ooc// Well, have you noticed that he has yet to make a fatal, or very wounding, hit on anybody? ;)
Ic// Zaronn quickly moved his head out of the way but the sword still skimmed the side of his neck. Well, it looks like he's using the emit gem effectively. He removed his hand from his neck and realized it was bleeding. Gah! I can't use my speed anymore, if I do, my heart would just pump blood too fast and it would come out of this cut. Looks like I'm going to have to retreat. "Well, good job. You've got me. It's been a long time since someone's even layed a finger on me. You're a formidable foe but this isn't the last you've seen of me!" He then retreated and some soldiers came up to attack Harver.
"What the-?!" Harver noticed six soldier circling him. The small cuts Zaronn had made on him could act as a hindrance. "Any help?" He shouted. He stabbed one of the soldiers, and he crumpled to the floor.
"Zaronn, what's wrong? You got plenty of small cuts on him but all it takes is one small cut to you and you retreat? What's up with that?" Zaroff said.
"You fool, do you know how fast my heart works when I use my superhuman speed?" Zaronn said with a scowl at Zaroff. "If I were to continue fighting, my heart would be pumping blood at extreme speed and, likewise, blood would be coming out of that cut at extreme speeds and I would die in a second!"
"Oh...Well that sucks!" Zaroff said. "So...you aren't going to get that gem back this time?"
"No...but that's the first thing we're going to go for once we see them at Crescent Island." He said with an evil smile.
Solon heard Harver and came back up from the basement. "Look out," Solon warned Harver as he shot at some of the soliders. "They have guns."
"Joy." He simply said, as he ran out of the enclosing circle of men. He walked to Solon. "What's your idea?"
"My idea is to get everyone the hell out of here. Then set fire to the ship or something," Solon suggested. "But, we need to make sure everyone's out first."
((So... How come he didn't die?))
((First of all, did you read the post I put down when Harver woke up?))
Lanbar and Tanbar were still on the ship. Lanbar was on the deck carving something out of wood while looking at the Scale Gem. While Tanbar was watching the others on the ship through his binoculars. "Hey Lanbar, you won't believe this."
"What." Lanbar said as if he was uninterested and continued carving the wood.
"Harver just made Zaronn retreat." Tanbar said.
"Oh, really?" Lanbar said. "I suppose that it was his gem he has."
"What? He has a gem?" Tanbar said suprised.
"Yeah, the Emit Gem. I saw it in his little room on this ship." Lanbar said continuing his carving.
"You mean you snooped around when we were asleep?" Tanbar said. "You know that's rude!"
"So what? I'm a pirate, remember?" Lanbar said. "Oh, and I also read your diary." He said under his breath.
"What did you say?" Tanbar said.
"Oh, nothing." He said smiling to himself.
((Yeah, you said the wound disappeared, but how?))
Solon finished off the last guy with a slash in the neck. "We need to get out of here soon," Solon replied. "But where are the others?"
((Can we just time skip and say that everyone got onto the ship? Lanbar and Tanbar don't have much to do. :P))
((Good idea, since no one else is on to find. Let's say it took us about a half an hour to find everyone. And now we're back on the ship.)) Solon felt a bruise forming on his head as he relaxed back on the ship. They were about to leave soon for Crescent Island, and although Solon had no relatives there, he couldn't help but feel excited to get back home. He was also anxious, Amy had said that the Dead Men were taking over Crescent Island.
Solon examined the Scale Gem. He twirled it around in his hand, looking at the ocean from the front of the ship. He couldn't wait to get off of Nimbuslus Land. Too much happened, and he wanted to leave his revenge there. Hopefully, if he did find the man again, he could finally kill him.
Tanbar had started sailing the ship to the whirl current. Lanbar walked up to Solon. "Hey, I've made a wooden replica of the Gem in my spare time." He said holding out the wooden copy. "What do you think of it?"
Solon took it in his hands. "Wow, looks just like it," Solon commented, looking at the blood red Scale gem then at the wooden replica.
"All I really need to do is paint it or something that will make it look red." He said taking back the wooden gem replica. He started to walk away but then turned around with a little smile. "Hey...Have you tried using its powers yet?"
((I'm going to eat lunch now. Bye!))
"No... Not yet," Solon replied. Honestly, he didn't want to use its power. He thought about how Zaroff got stronger, but stupid. "I'm not sure if I want to. I mean, I really don't want to get dumb."
(( COME ON! I go to sleep for one night and the story has jumped ahead 10 pages! Can someone give me a summary! :( ))
((Short summary: We get Tanbar off of Zaroff's ship but we forget the other people on the ship. Jas and Solon go to get them. Harver fights Zaroff's brother who has the Cloud Gem. Now we're at the point of just leaving Nimbuslus Land and heading toward Crescent Island.))

Jas finds her favorite spot against the railing, and starts looking out at the water again.
Kai stood up, and thought about something.

Boogie walked up to Solon " What happened? "
Venice sat against the mast, his eyes closed, thinking.
___________________________________________________
Trin paced around the deck, bored and restless.
"We got the gem," Solon smiled, showing the blood red jewel he was twirling in his hands to Boogie. "And Zaronn, Zaroff's brother, has the Cloud Gem. If we can just get to Crescent Island quickly, I can pick up the thing I need and then we can try and get the Cloud gem." Solon didn't want to give away too much information, so he got up and walked over to Trin, who looked bored.
"Whatcha doin'?" he asked.
"Yeah, we need to get that Cloud Gem because as long as Zaronn has it, he can take the Scale Gem just as easily as you took it from Zaroff." Lanbar said.
"You know, Zaronn's got to have a weakness." Tanbar said down to the guys from the steering wheel. "I did notice one thing..."
"You mean when he always jumped back after a tiny cut?" Jas asks, looking at Tanbar.
"Yeah...That's one thing, but there was something else I noticed both when me and Lanbar fought him and when Harver fought him..." He said waiting for someone to ask what it was.
"Get to sayin' it," Jas digs around in her pocket for candy. "What else happened?"
"You mean the fact that if he runs super fast with a cut he'll just bleed even more?" Solon pointed out.

"Get to sayin' it," Jas digs around in her pocket for candy. "What else happened?"
" Oooh, can I have some? " Boogie asked when he seen Jas' candy.
"Well, when I looked at Lanbar's and Harver's cuts, they were very small ones that weren't much harm. And another thing, once he sped up too fast for Harver to even see him move, the sword slices only hit his shirt." Tanbar said. "So that extreme speed must have completely obliterated his accuracy to a direct hit!"
"Hey Solon, can I see the scalus gem"
Solon flashed the blood red jewel at Kai. "See?" then he re-pocketed it. "Hm... I can see that," commented Solon, talking to Tanbar. "That could be to our advantage."

"Get to sayin' it," Jas digs around in her pocket for candy. "What else happened?"
" Oooh, can I have some? " Boogie asked when he seen Jas' candy.
Jas tosses Boogie some candy. "Don't get too hyper," she says, eating a grape Blow Pop.
"Oh... um, no," Solon replied, patting his pocket. "I'll be holding onto this. By the way Jas, got any gum on yah?"
((Erm... Summary?))
"Why.... you scared of what power I could get"
((Nothing really happened. We're on our way to Crescent Island))
"No," Solon told Kai. "I just don't trust you with it."
"So the Theif thinks I can't be trusted"

"So the Theif thinks I can't be trusted"
"I wonder why," said Venice sarcastically, still sitting against the mast.
"Well, with the brains you have now, you'll be a vegetable if you take the Scale Gem. No one can trust a person without brains," reasoned Solon.
"Oh so now I'm a retard, you remeber the last time I got angry, It's coming back"
Solon just brushed past Kai and went to the other end of the ship. He leaned forward on the rail and let the wind brush past him. Amy walked up to him.
"So, you excited about getting home?" Amy asked him. Solon nodded, he couldn't think of much else.
"It's been a while," he replied simply.
((siv was playing Soul Calibur 3 as Jas teh Ninja. XD))
"You guys," Jas shakes her head and sighs, looking out at the water again.
Lanbar walked over to where Amy and Solon were. "You know, I never felt this before but for some reason, I...sort of miss Crescent Island...Or should I say, my childhood at Crescent Island."
"I don't," Solon replied sharply. He averted his gaze from the others. He tensed up for a bit, shook his head, then relaxed again. The bottom of his shirt that had been ripped off fell farther down when he shook himself. It ended up looking like a skirt on him. "Alright, that's it!" he growled, slipping off the bottom part of his shirt and ripping off the top. "I need a new shirt!"
"Hm...what's his problem?" He said to Amy.
Amy shook her head. "You're from Crescent Island, too?" Amy asked him.
"Yeah, if I wasn't born there I probably wouldn't have become a pirate." He said. "The same goes for my brother, Tanbar, except he's become a sailor."
"You might not like what you see, then," Amy warned. "The Dead Men ransacked that place. Looking for..." Solon kicked Amy in the leg. "Ouch! Okay, sorry. Yeah, it's just a bit more... dirty then before."
---
I shouldn't have left it... The one thing my parents entrust to me before they die... Solon thought angrily. And darn, it's cold out without a shirt...
"Oh...Well, I can't believe that this happened in such a short amount of time. It was fine when I left on that ship to Scalus." Lanbar said. "But I suppose the only true memory that was really important to me was my life as a child at the docks. I loved just going there and watching all the people and cargo go on and off the ships. That's what convinced me to set sails to the high seas."
Harver sat down on the deck of the ship, writing about his most recent experience. After he finished, his hand was on his chest, right where the Dead Man had cut him. Could it be that they are just illusions..? He shook his head and walked over to the railing, gazing out at the blue water the ship rocked against.
Next stop, Crescent Island. And so we go.
((Would you guys like me to print some of Harver's journal entries about the Dead Men?))
((If Harver shows it to them, then print 'em))
Solon thought about the mini islands around Crescent Island. He had always enjoyed the coves and privacy that they allowed. Very little to no people ever went on them. Solon couldn't wait to get find his favorite spot and just relax... Maybe he could even forget about the journey and just stay home. He wasn't exactly sure why everyone was following him anyway. He understood that Jas wanted her gem back, but the others just seemed to be in it for the adventure. And Solon didn't want to continue dragging them down his revenge pit.
Harver walked up to Solon. "What's on your mind?" He asked.
Solon was about to say what he had been thinking, but changed his mind. "Nothing really," he shrugged. "I'm just excited to be going home. There is a nice secluded cove I used to hang out in back in the days. I can't wait to just relax there again."
Harver smiled. "It's good when you can just relax, and not have to worry about the tasks at hand..." He remembered about when he was with Jas in the ice skating rink.
"You can do more then relax," Solon replied with a wink. "Maybe I'll take Jas there sometime." Solon kept a straight and serious face, but he was joking. He could tell Harver liked Jas, so he decided he'd have some fun pushing his buttons about it.
((Um...I think the term you mean is "pushing his buttons" not pulling. XP))
Lanbar was walking around the ship and saw Harver and Solon talking. So he decided to do a little eves dropping.
Kai walked up to where Solon was "How long is it gonna take to get to the island"
Solon shrugged. "I can see the Whirl Channel up ahead. Might be another 5 minutes?" he replied, counting the time in his head.
" Im bored, what have you learned since we last fought?" he drew his falchion.
Solon smirked and took out his blade. "You'll just have to wait and see..." Solon slashed at Kai's chest.
Kai dodged to the side, jumped of the wall and kicked solon.
Harver watched the spar commence, thinking about what Solon had said. Does he really like Jas? Or is he just trying to get me agitated? He looked at Jas, who was staring out past the railing. Which brings up another question. Who does she like? Harver decided that it wasn't time to worry about it, so he leaned his back against the railing, watching the fight between Kai and Solon.
Well...So much for eves dropping. Oh well, I get to watch a fight! Lanbar watched the two spar.
((Caught BoA at the site I posted after he said he didn't join. :P))
Jas starts to say something about her spar, but decides against it, not feeling like doing anything.

((I have an account there. I just don't use it too often.))
((Darn, you caught me :P))
Solon jumped back and thrusted forward at Kai, aiming for his left arm.
((the Whirl Channel should be comin' up soon))
Kai turned and saw the blade go by him and sliced at solons open arm
Solon had taken a second to look over at the Whirl Channel, and felt the sword go into his arm. "Ow!" he called out, jumping back on contact. He didn't have time to look at his wound, though he was sure it wasn't too bad, and did a criss cross slash at Kai.
"Alright, we will be approaching the Whirl Channel so hang on." Tanbar said over the intercom. "And stop fighting for a moment...Yes, I am talking to you two."
Lanbar tried to hold back his laugher as he grabbed onto the railing to secure himself.
"You should keep you.." the slash cut an X in his chest "Damn... I always wanted a tattoo"
He was hurt but not enough for him to stop the fight, he slashed at Solons right arm.
((...Ok, so he got cut in the chest, and he isn't hurt? What is this guy, a machine?))

((...Ok, so he got cut in the chest, and he isn't hurt? What is this guy, a machine?))
((Slighty, I'll edit it a bit))
The boat began gaining speed, and in doing so Solon slipped and allowed the sword to hit him hard in the arm. He dropped his sword which slid to the other side of the boat, then back again, because the boat was rocking. The wound on Solon's right arm was deeper and it stung hard. Solon closed his eyes for a second, but there wasn't much time to get used to it. Next second they were whirling down the current, the Whirl Channel carrying them to Crescent Island.
"You almost won that time" Kai wiped his chest it was bleeding.
Jas tightens her grip on the railing, letting the wind brush the strands of hair she left down back.
Harver looked at the landmass the ship was now approaching. So this is Crescent Island... The gem should be here, as well as the hideout of the Dead Men... He looked at Solon. ...But we should relax. No need to rush ourselves when some of us are bleeding.
"Hey Scholar, Solon and I need a bandage of some sort"
Harver looked at Kai. "Who's Scholar?" He asked, with a fake confused look on his face.
"Harver, I Need A god darn bandage"
"Thank you." Harver said, and went inside quickly to retrieve the First-aid kit. He came back out with a few bandages. "You guys should really use wooden weapons or something of the like. We can't risk any unneccessary injuries." He handed Kai and Solon the bandages, and went back to the railing.
"Thanks" Kai wrapped the bandage around his chest.
Jas looks back at them. "Using fake weapons would put them at a disadvantage in a way."
"How would that put us at a disadvantage?"
"Real weapons... You get hit with them, and learn from mistakes," Jas says. "Fake weapons... I don't know, they're just not the same."
"Yeah... your right, hey we still have a spar to finish"
Harver sighed. "Whatever you say." He looked out at the waves again.
((Happy New Years! ^^ We should do a mini New Year's like RP))
Jas looks back. "Yeah, we do. Why is it that our match never finished?" She turns to face them.
The boat completely stopped moving. Fireworks shot from Crescent Island. It looked like they were celebrating the new year. Solon smiled, thinking about all the parties and festivals Crescent Island had. Without saying anything, Solon dived into the ocean and began swimming to the shore. He had forgotten about his bloody arm and sword, so it was more of a struggle then he expected to swim to the shoreline, but he made it. "First things first, I need to buy a shirt..."
Jas looks up at the fireworks, then looks into the water to see Solon. "That idiot... He's gonna make his arm fall off. -_-'"
Boogie looked up at the fireworks. " How nice "
((Congrats on MoM, LS :D))
Solon washed up on shore and shook himself off. It must have been midnight, they got to Crescent Island right on the new year. He was tired, but he really wanted to check out the cove before he did anything else. So now, he made the short hike down to the edge of Crescent Island, in search of the cove nearby.
Harver walked up to Jas, gazing at the fireworks. "They're beautiful, aren't they..." He said to no one in particular.
((Thanks, Birdie! I did not see it coming! xD Seriously, I do not know what I did to get MotM...))
Kai looked up at the fireworks "They look beautiful but they sound like gunshots" he muttered to himself
Harver glared at Kai. "Does everything have to be violence with you?"
"It just makes my ears hurt darnit"
((They make my ears hurt in real life, too. xD))
Harver ignored Kai, and looked back up at the wondrous light show in the sky.
Solon followed the path, until he could see the cove out at see. It's only about a mile away, I can handle it, Solon thought, though his arm stung. I'll wrap it up once I get there. I need to make sure everything's okay... Solon jumped back into the water and begun swimming to the cove. Let's just hope sharks don't get this close the shore... Solon thought, the sudden idea of sharks popped into his head. He was getting nervous, but he continued anyway.
Kai turned his attention back to the sky.
Jas mumbles something, watching the fireworks flash before her eyes.
Venice sat against the mast, staring at the sky.
_________
Trin leaned against the railing, watching the fireworks.
I think I'll make another Character but a girl.
Name: Sara
Age:15
Person:Sword Master
Land: Scalus but is currently in Cresent island
Looks: Wears all black like her brother, Kai. her hair color is black.
Weapon:Katana
Solon felt something nibble at his feet. "Oh my god a shark's got me!" he cried out splashing around. He felt himself sink underwater, and he blinked his eyes open. He was great at looking underwater without goggles. He was relieved to see a crab snapping at him. He pulled himself back up and looked around to see if anyone was watching. He didn't see anyone, so he continued swimming with embarassment.
Finally, he got to the cove. It seemed normal. The tropical coconut trees were all around him and it all looked peaceful and quiet. He smiled as memories rushed through him. Actual good memories, which was something he didn't have a lot of. He walked farther in, hoping his camp out he had made in the center was in tact. He was afraid the Dead Men had ransacked it. But, he made it to the spot to find it was unharmed.
"Yes!" he whispered, as his eyes scanned the scenary. "Just as I left it."
Harver turned to Jas. "What was that?" He asked quietly.
((The dead men raided cresent island?))
((No, the Dead Men are basically everywhere, though. They won't take anything over until they have what is needed.))
((Okay))
The fireworks had stopped but Kai heard a bang like a gun fireing, he ran and jumped off the ship onto the island. He looked for where the noise came from.

Harver turned to Jas. "What was that?" He asked quietly.
"It wasn't anything important," Jas looks over at Harver. "Just seems like forever since I've been home."
Great, thought Venice as he looked at the islands he had hated and left. WE had to come back.
"Ah." Harver said. "So you lived here? What was it like?"
Kai ran as fast he could and he stopped, he saw his little sister with a gunshot wound.
"Sara what happened to you, who did this".
"I don't know Kai, I came here to look for you and this happens" sara replied
"I'll get you somewhere safe, after you feel better you have to tell me more" Kai picked up his sister and ran for the ship.

Trin saw them from the railing and ran up to them. "What's wrong?" she asked, noticing his worried expression.
_
Venice noticed them, but was still tinking about what had happened here in the past.
"My little sis has been shot, by who I don't know"
Harver calmly walked over. "You have a sister?"
"yeah, whys it matter to you "
Solon rummaged around the cove, looking for something in particular. But suddenly, he felt like he was being watched.
"Looking for this?" a voice asked. Solon stopped what he was doing and slowly turned around. He didn't recognize the person as his parent's killer, but he was sure it was one of the Dead Men. He had a black cloak on with black boots and gloves. The only thing visible was his mouth, and he had a smirk on his face. Solon's attention was drawn to the locket with the blue crescent shaped gem attached to it.
"Give... that... back..." growled Solon, searching for his sword. Crap! Its back on the boat... he thought, putting up his fists instead.
"Oh, I don't think so. Our Crescent Gem team has spent too long searching for it," the man replied, pocketing the gem.
A look of shock appeared on Harver's face. His eyes shifted to where Solon had swam, and he looked at the cove. "Kai, stay here and tend to your sister." Harver looked around and found Solon's sword, leaning against the ship's side. Crap! This is not good. He quickly grabbed the sword, and dove into the water. He began to swim towards where Solon was.
We just got here, and already another Dead Man shows up? He sighed, and the ice cold water made Harver shiver. I'm glad that the gem told me this, Emit. These gems have so much power, no one truly knows it.
"but I don't know.... first aid, darnit"
Harver made it to the cove, and quickly ran inside. He found Solon and the Dead Man facing him. "Solon!" He yelled, to get his attention. "Catch!" He threw him his sword.
Solon caught the sword with his left hand. He wasn't a left hander, but this would have to work. "Thanks!" he called back. He wasn't sure how his luck turned, but he was glad Harver somehow knew he was there.
"Hmph, I can still defeat you," the Dead Man stated, creating a black shadow sword out of nowhere.
"Bring it on!" Solon shot back. "As long as I'm alive, you won't be able to take that Crescent Gem." He practiced a few slashes with his left arm. It felt funny, but he would have to try.
((Everytime I wanna go to play my videogames, you guys start postin'...))
Jas had ran after the others.

Jas had ran after the others.
((Just sent 'em PMs not to come here. You're on, and we wanna advance when you're playing video games. j/k))
"Oh well, he unwrapped his bandage and wrapped it around his sisters wound.
Harver ran to Solon's side. "Then do you think you can defeat both of us?" He unsheathed his sword. Harver quickly shot a worried glance at Solon. His wound doesn't look good... This could bring trouble.
Solon was grateful for Harver's help this time around.
"Well, can you defeat two of me?" asked the Dead Men, conjuring a shadow version of himself. His second version was smoky and see through, looking like a black cloud of dust with human features.
"No problem. I'll take on the real thing," Solon told Harver. "He has something of mine I need back." Solon stabbed at the Dead Man, but with his left hand, it was awkwardly inaccurate. "Er, actually... I'll take on the shadow."
"Good idea." Harver said, taking his ready stance. He looked at the Dead Man, thinking of the possibilites. "So, did you take care of your friend?" He asked. He needed to know as much about these people as he could know.
"I have no friends," the Dead Man smirked, readying his blade.
Solon wasn't sure what to do about the shadow. He took out his grappling hook and shot it at the shadow, it just went right through. "Huh... This is scary," Solon replied sarcastically. "No reason to even try..." The shadow walked up to Solon with his shadow blade. "Ooh... scaaaaary..." The shadow slashed at Solon's right arm, and it surprisingly hurt. Solon jumped back, wide eyed. He had a big tear in his right arm and the blood was steadily flowing out. "Huh... Strange. I can't hurt you... But you can hurt me..."
Harver didn't move an inch. He was waiting for the Dead Man to make his move. ((Hint, hint)) "I suppose it's no use reasoning with you, then, since you won't tell me what I need to know."
"What do you need to know?" the Dead Man asked, curious. He slashed his sword, sending electric waves shooting at Harver.
Solon slashed his sword at the shadow, it just went right through him. The shadow slashed again, Solon stepped back but the shadow disappeared and reappeared behind him. Solon ended up walking right into the shadow's blade. Solon jumped back and turned around, it was a light stab, but he had a puncture in his back now.
"Hey Harver, wanna switch over now? You know, switch it up a bit, have a little something different," Solon rambled on, stepping away from the shadow thing, which disappeared again. Solon looked all around him. Dammit, is this how I'm supposed to die? By a freakin' SHADOW!?
Jas jumps into the fight from the tree she was watching in. "Heh..."
Harver tried to sidestep the attack, but one of the shots barely nicked him on the arm. The results were painful. "Ah!" He cried in pain as he felt his left arm go numb. "I'm a little busy at the moment!" He looked in surprise at Jas, as she had entered the scene. "What are you doing here?!"
"What do you think? We were having a romantic getaway until you showed up," joked Solon, though he really didn't think it was the time. He was bleeding all over and couldn't feel his right arm.
"No, I'm here to fight!" Jas draws her blades. "Can't stop watching ya for two seconds before something happens."
"Nothing's going to happen to us," Solon replied. "We can take care of ourselves." The shadow reappeared behind Jas. "Look out!" Solon shouted when he saw the shadow, he ran and pushed Jas and himself out of the way. "Sorry, but you'll thank me later," he told her, thinking she would probably be mad at him for helping her. He turned around and looked for the shadow. It disappeared again...
Harver ran over to help Jas and Solon when the shadow grabbed him from behind. No! He looked at the Dead Man. Not good!
Venice thought he heard fighting. He looked around for a moment and disembarked. He followed the noise to a cove. He saw Solon, Harver, and Jas fighting shadows in the dark. He didn't approach them, thinking they could handle themselves.
"It's fine for now," Jas looks for who she's supposed to be fighting.
Solon slashed at the shadow. Solon was surprised, but his sword actually hit something. He realized that he could go for the shadow's weapon. Solon slashed at it hard, flinging it out of the shadow's hand. With it gone, Solon slashed at the shadow's head and the shadow shattered into many pieces.
"Huh... That sword is like a force field of sorts..." Solon thought out loud. "I need one of those."
Harver looked at Solon, grateful. "Thanks." He turned his attention to the Dead Man. He could start to feel his left arm again. So the effects are only temporary... He raised his sword again, ready for the next attack.
((While Jas is getting bored, wanting to fight))
Jas looks at the Dead Man, waiting for an attack, doing her best to not lunge out.
The Dead Man only needed one of them dead, but he didn't mind finishing them all off. "Ready to die, then?" he asked, sending more electrical currents at them all.
Solon tried jumping over it, but it hit his right foot and he cringed in pain. "God can I have just an hour to relax?" he complained, trying to stop the shock.
Instead of trying to dodge the attack this time, Harver let the shock hit his sword. The effect Harver hoped for happened. The metal took the shock in, but wasn't stable. Harver drew his sword back, and released the shock back at the Dead Man.
Jas jumps over the currents, and lands in front of the others. She takes off running full speed towards the Dead Man as Harver's attack passes her.
((It's like LoZ :D ))
The Dead Man simply hit the shock wave back again. "You'll have to try better then that," he told Harver. Then, he sent a sonic boom blast at Jas, who was running towards him.
((This is just like the boss battle against Ganondorf in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time! That Gerudo bastard had what was coming to him. In America!))
Harver took his sword up to defend himself from the shock again, but instead of the shock coming into his sword, it bounced off and hit the ceiling, making a hole. He thought the distraction was good, so he ran up to the Dead Man, and prepared to make a slash at him...
Time! Harver ran to the side of the Dead Man, and put his blade's sharp point at the neck of the Dead Man. Time!
((*Never even played it**Played on Playstation most of the time*))
Jas holds her blades out to block, but gets pushed back. She throws a marble down to cover the place in a dense fog, then starts making her way up to the Dead Man.
The Dead Man disappeared and reappeared by Solon. Solon slashed his sword at the Dead Man, who just knocked it out of his way. Because Solon was using his left hand, he was unbalanced and the Dead Man took the opportunity to snatch the Scale Gem from Solon's pocket.
"Thanks to the Crescent Gem, I knew about this," smirked the Dead Man. Next second, he was gone.
"No!" Solon called out. "Dammit, sorry guys," he said, hanging his head.
"No!" Harver looked for the man, but he was gone. No trace left. He looked over at Solon. "I should be the one who is sorry. I should have come faster." He looked down at the gem in his hand. "Why does all this trouble revolve around these things?"
"He has the Crescent Gem, too," sighed Solon. "That's mine and I need it back!" Solon shook his head and headed back towards the shoreline. He soaked his right arm in the water and sheathed his sword.
"Easy," Jas sighs. "Those things have power, and they are power hungry bastards..."
((I take it the three of us are at the shoreline?))
"When will all this madness end?" Harver asked to no one in particular. He closed his eyes. I can't keep it a secret much longer, can I, Emit? He sighed. "Ok. I have to tell you everything."
"Now you tell us you're hiding things?" Jas asks, sheathing her blades.
Harver sighed. "I never meant it to be like this. After I finished my studies - right before I met you guys - I was able to track my family tree. Apparently, the people I lived with weren't my birth parents." He took a deep breath in. "Do you guys know about the founding of Slander?"
((Plot twist!? *Grabs cup of Ramen*))
"I don't know really," Jas turns to face Harver.
((I've never had Ramen before...))
Solon shook his head as well.
((Say whhaa!? Go out and buy some NOW! =O))
Jas waits for what has to be said.

((I've never had Ramen before...))
((I have to agree with ShOrTi. That's just plain wrong.))
((I love ramen!))
"Three people with large amounts of followers once sailed to a place called the New World." Harver began. "They each had a flag and a gem of power forged to protect themselves. They each settled into three of the four corners of this 'New World'.
"Prince Robert Scalis the Powerful settled Scalus in the upper left hand corner. His followers accompanied him because they were power hungry. Queen Shauna the Curious settled in the lower right hand corner, naming the place Crescent Island, as the moon took the same form as the island. She had followers because where she had come from, all would follow her to the ends of the earth. And Lord Emit the Wise settled in the upper right hand corner, naming it the Land of Emit. His followers - much like Emit himself - wanted to know more about the world they inhabited, and also wanted to make themselves smarter.
"And a people who had been there longer than anyone else lived in the lower left hand corner, in Nimbuslus. They believed that through the clouds there was a being that was smarter than any other. They also had a gem for their land, but they also had a gem said to be given to them from said being. It is known as the Gem of Slander. That is what I believe the Dead Men stole from Jas."
Harver stopped momentarily to let Jas and Solon catch up.
"Hmm," Jas closes her eyes, imagining the light blue jewel in her hand, only to have it snatched away.
((Think December Birthstone))
"As I said before," Harver continued, "I tracked my family tree to find out that my real parents aren't my birth parents. It also turns out..." Harver took a deep breath in, and then exhaled, as if he had just let go of something important to him. "...that one of my ancestors is Lord Emit."
He stopped, looking out to the sea. After awhile, he continued. "I didn't tell you because I wanted to be someone normal for once. Not a prodigy, not the heir to some unknown throne... I just wanted to be normal. But then, all of this happens." He chuckled in disbelief. "There's no going back now, is there?"
"Maybe you coming with us was inevitable anyways," Jas says smiling.
"Who knows? Maybe you're right..." Harver spaced out, looking into the ocean's blue waves. "Also, my ancestry was proven correct when I was told that a group of people were going to come who would need my help. I was told by a voice in my head. It also told me your names. I ignored it, thinking I was going crazy, and that I needed some fresh air."
Harver looked at Jas, and then to Solon. "And then I met you guys." He shook his head, and smiled. "When we found the Gem of Emit - or, the Time Gem - the bond between me and the voice in my head became more clear. Somehow, someway, Emit is able to contact me. I'm not sure what all of this means yet, but I am determined to find out." He closed his eyes, and hung his head. "I'm sorry for keeping this a secret."
"Hey," Jas puts a hand on Harver's shoulder. "What's done is done... gotta move on."
"You're right. Thanks." Harver said, smiling at Jas. He was glad she understood. "Which reminds me. Shouldn't we get back to the ship, and the others?"
"Yeah," Jas starts heading that way. "But then I'm going out..."
"Hmm?" Harver started to follow Jas. "What for? Can't it wait until morning?"
"I live here, there's people I need to see," Jas goes into the town. "People that would be mad if they knew I was here now, but didn't show up till morning."
"Ok... good luck on that." Harver said, waving Jas good bye. He turned back and headed to the ship.
Solon stayed on the cove. He hadn't said a word the entire time. Honestly, he wasn't surprised that Harver was heir to the land of Emit. Actually, Solon would probably been more surprised to find out he wasn't. He was just too smart and too Harvery ((Solon's word, not mine)) to be some normal kid from the land that didn't abide to the rules of time. Solon watched Jas and Harver leave and sat down on the beach side.
"Home sweet home," Solon sighed, thinking about his parent's gem, the Crescent Gem, that was stolen from him. He knew that the Dead Men couldn't take it off its chain and use it until he was dead, but it was only a matter of time till they got back... And the way things are going now, it'd be best if they found me when I was alone, instead of endangering the others again... he thought. Since I'm apparently the leader, I should appoint Harver as my second in case I die. Then, I'll need to head out and meet my fate, whatever that is.
Harver started to go back to the ship when he realized that Solon wasn't with him. He turned around and saw Solon sitting on the beach. "What's on your mind?" He asked.
((You know what's interesting? Unlike some other RPs, we actually have a goal, and our RP will end at a point in time. Just thought about sharing that bit of information))
((Maybe this will be like LoZ and have sidequests :P. Another interesting fact is that I started this out as a fan fiction but turned it into an RP when I checked out the RP boards. I have the entire map of Vulcum worked out, but I've only digitilized 2/4 of it. ))
"I'm appointing you my official second in case I die," Solon informed him before walking off and out of sight into the maze of markets in Crescent Island.
Jas knocks on a door, then stands there waiting for a few minutes. When it opens...
"Hey," Jas says grinning.
She's immediately pulled into a hug, and goes inside laughing.
((However, you did say that in this RP we would not leave the country of Slander. You could, though, create a new RP that takes place in a different part of Vulcum. Btw, wouldn't that be 1/2? :P))
Harver quickly followed Solon. "Woah! No need to get all grim. We should use this opportunity to relax. After all, we have the Gem of Emit. As long as we know this, we still have hope."
Kai saw Solon and Harver on the beach he walked off the ship to talk to them, Sara followed.
((Well, there are going to be four sections, but yeah, 1/2 works, too. And I could make a new RPG after this about a new country of Vulcum... But, don't you think that might be overdoing it? I mean, I think people would get tired of this RP series xD.))
"Do you want to be second in command or not? If not, I'll be happy to give the position to Jas," Solon snapped, swiping an apple from one of the market stands and taking a bite into it. He continued walking down the path, pushing people out of his way as he went. "People are going to die. I'll need a second in command." He finished simply, remembering a dream he had long ago that he had forgotten about.
"Hey Wait up" Kai ran towards them.
Jas sits in the kitchen of her parents' house, telling them about some of the things that happened, but not all the details.
"You said you was with other people," Jas' mom puts the shrimp she started making for them in the oil on the stove for frying. "Where are they?"
"Meh, they're probably sick of me," Jas shrugs. "So I let them do whatever until we leave again."
Harver sighed. "Fine, I'll take the job. But please, stop being so glum! It's putting a damper on the rest of our spirits!"
Being home again triggered something old in Solon. "Hey Kai," he greeted, turning around. His mind was already planning his next big robbery. "And I'm not glum, Harver, I'm just being practical. If I die, I don't need you and Kai fighting over what plan to use. Anyway, I gotta go." He finished, heading down an alley and disappearing through one of his special routes. Time to rob this joint!
((I just realized, if all the baddies teamed up, they would have 3 stones against 1 gem 0_0... We are getting our asses kicked xD.))
"What are you guys talking about"
((Though, I think we have one of the more stronger gems. Time is a big faction. And Zaronn teaming up with the Dead Men? Not likely. =P))
Harver gave Solon a slight wave goodbye, and turned to Kai. "Nothing." He said. "Solon just made me second in command. How's your sister?" He asked, wanting to change the subject.
"Shes behind me, and you second in command" Kai began laughing
"What's so funny?" Harver asked, starting to have a bit of an attitude. He REALLY didn't like Kai.
"you may be smart, but you can't fight"
Harver unsheathed his sword, quickly losing his temper. He had just about had it with Kai. "You want to run that by me again?"
Solon picked the lock of a door, the house looked empty, every light was off. Solon snuck inside and looked around. He checked every nook and cranny, wearing his theiving gloves and being very careful to put everything back in its exact place. Nothing good down here... he decided after thorough searching. My best bet is upstairs. He climbed the railing up the stairs, not wanting to make any creaking noises on the stairs. For all he knew, the residents were sleeping upstairs.
((Guys? I just realized something. The whole "Gems" thing could be considered a massive side quest when you think about it. I mean, when you read the first post, it says that people have to find undead sages to find how to stop some massive war... So this is a side quest?))
((Not really. I'm pretty sure that everything has to be intertwined somehow.))
((It could be turned into a side quest, if you wanted. I mean, destroying the gems could cause the lands to go into mayhem, angry their jewels were destroyed. Especially Nimbuslus Land, who might hate losing the gem of their ancestors: the Scalander Gem. Actually, collecting the gems could actually cause the war. Or atleast push it along. Or, destroying the gems could result in peace and harmony. Or, the gems could be used by us to bring internal peace to the lands. *Shrugs* anything can happen at this point.))
Solon searched the upstairs. Someone was sleeping up there. He raided that persons closet and drawers. And he finally found a new black shirt to wear along with a new pair of blue jeans. He used a bunch of socks to wrap up his right arm wounds, and took every last item that even resembled money from the house. Then, he snuck back out and headed to a new location.
Jas decides to take a shower before her food gets done. "Everyone else I left... Wonder how they're doing..."
Harver got bored, so he sheathed his sword and walked away from Kai. He decided to meander the streets, looking for somewhere to eat.
After she changed her clothes, Jas went outside. She stands there with a can of pop. 'I guess I'll go visit them too...'
Solon stole from a few more houses before heading back to the ship to stash his "winnings". After that, he thought about getting food, since he couldn't remember the last time he had eaten something.
Harver wandered into a restaurant/bar and sat down at the bar. He sighed. He looked at the interior. Seafood seemed to be the theme here. The bartender leaned over the counter and asked, "What'll it be?"
"No beer for me, thanks." Harver replied. "Just some shrimp." One of Harver's favorite food was shrimp, and since he lived on the coast of Emit, he was accostomed to seafood. Emit. His ancestor. He wanted to forget all about everything.
Solon headed into his favorite place, the Blue Moon Cafe. He sat at a small table at the corner of the room and ordered a few cups of black coffee for himself.
Jas sighs and goes back inside to eat, wondering if somehow the other's will end up here.
As if on cue, Solon started falling from the sky and landed inside an unfamiliar house that Jas was inside... //OC
((Sorry 'bout that, I just had to post it... Aaaaanywaaaay...))
Solon drank all the cups he was given. Soon, he was on a caffiene high and was shaking as he got up and left the cafe. "T-t-t-t-t-time to RUMBLE!" he yelled out, running around and occasionally running into walls and houses etc.
((I was gonna say. 0.o))
Jas hears a crash (Solon being Solon again), but decides to ignore it for now, and keeps eating her shrimp.
((Wait, is Jas eating with Harver, or is she just in the same restaurant?))
((She's at home with her mom. I said that already. Harver could've got free food. XD))
((XD Harver did not know that. Now I feel stupid. But Harver is eating shrimp, too, so hey ~ whatever.))
Harver ate his meal and payed the man. He walked out, looking at the moon in the sky. It was about a half of the way through the sky. It was well past midnight. He sighed and started to walk back to the ship, but stopped when he saw the house Jas went into. He walked up to the door, prepared to knock, but then stopped. I shouldn't bother her. She's probably asleep. Harver continued on his way back to the ship.
((=P))
Jas heard something on the front porch, and got up, sticking her head out the door. She sees someone walking away, and figures out who it is. "'Ey, Harver!"
Harver turned around quickly to see Jas in the front door. "H-Hey!" He called back. He walked back to the door to see her.
"So that was you," Jas leans against the door frame. "Why'd you run off?"
"Well..." Harver started. "...I thought it was a little late, and I didn't want to bother you, so..."
((Of course, Solon being Solon. If he wasn't being him, who else would he be :P? Wooow... That's deep man... Not really, but whatever.))
Solon swam back out to the cove. Ha! I won't be falling asleep any time soon. Time to finish what was started... Solon thought as he found a spot to wait for any signs of the Dead Men.
"Bother me?" Jas shakes her head. "I'm never asleep at night really. You comin' in?"
((I was messin' around. And really, that's the only way to describe him. :P))
((Ah, my characters are always so complex and... complex. It's a wonder how they fit in this obsolete 3D world of ours...))
Harver sighed. "Nah. I don't want to be rude or anything." He stepped off the porch. "So, I'll see you in the morning?"
"I guess," Jas stays quiet for a couple of moments. "Even though I don't see how it'd be rude when I was letting you in..."
"Hmm?" Harver raised an eyebrow. "What about your parents?"
((Harver, you like this girl! And it seems like she likes you, here's some advice: Drop the polite scholar...ness and just go in there for some shrimp or something! If you don't step up, Jas will have opportunities with plenty of other guys >.>))
((Scholarness? =P))
((This may be hard to believe, but I actually have an extensive vocabulary, but I usually forget what half the words mean by the time I actually want to use them and end up using... different words. I'm constantly forgetting a certain word I'm trying to say. And I'm in honors English xD))
Solon heard rustling in a bush nearby, and he quickly unsheathed his sword... waiting.
((My favorite word is schadenfreude, which is German for "happiness at the misfortune of others"!
Nicky: Wow. That is German!))
((Suuuuuuure, BoA. Anyway,you need to try Ramen.))
Venice was snoozing back on the ship.
Trin looked off the rail, a hand on her hip.
((I have no idea why this rhymes...))

((I like this new word...))
((Sorry about the whole "schadenfreude" thing. But it is my favorite word, and one of my favorite songs. It's from the musical Avenue Q. One of the best musicals ever. x)))
"What about 'em?" Jas' rebellious side starts to come into play as she shrugs. "My mom's here, but I'm sure she won't go chasing you with a broom or something."
((Don't go braggin' about your Honors English status. I'm in Honors English too thank you very much. =P))

((You made me like a random German word... You shouldn't have said the meaning, then my favorite word would still be "suffering."))
Harver grinned slightly. "Well, it is a little chilly out here... sure, I'll take up on your offer. Thanks." He walked back onto the porch.
((What is Ramen, anyway? I thought it was fish until I saw a pic of it on NSiders. Is it noodles or something? I don't really watch anime, and I think thats were Ramen is famous from...))
((Ramen = Best. Noodles. Evar. Just had some a few hours ago. InuYasha got me hooked on it. XD (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b60/Keigoe/Random%20Stuff/03.jpg)))
Jas grins back. "Now come on," she pretty much drags Harver inside.
((BoA! That is a cardinal sin!))
((xD ROFL))
"Ok! Ok!" Harver is dragged inside of the house by Jas. "Woah. Nice place you got here. You used to live here?"
"I still do," Jas lets go of Harver and closes the door. "Not like I was kicked out."
"But..." Harver started, as he leaned against the door. "...You were in Scalus when you lost the gem. Why were you so far away from home?"
"I was here when I lost it," Jas says looking out the window. "I was in Scalus trying to get it back..."
"Ah." Harver said, as if putting pieces of a puzzle together. He looked at Jas. "And your parents were ok with that?"
((brb don't you dare vanish on me. =P))
"Well... It took some... persuasion..." Jas looks back at Harver. "My dad was gonna go get it himself, but I pretty much told him he's too old to be doin' the kind of stuff we do," she says laughing a bit. "That and the fact that they handed the jewel to me, and named me its guardian."
Solon got up without noise and nimbly stepped over towards the bush. He slashed at it and a seagull flew out of the bush, squaking. Oh... Solon thought with a sigh. Where are the Dead Men when you need them? Suddenly, his right hand reached for his sword and pushed it against hist throat. "What the hell, why can't I control my hand!?" he gasped, pushing his hand back with his left, trying to keep it from cutting his throat.
"You've met Gernodo, who can send shock waves. Stephanopolus, your parent's killer. And now it's time to meet me," someone behind Solon said. "I can control what you do. I am no killer, I merely watch as others commit suicide all around me."
"Your doing this?" Solon gasped, trying with all his might to keep his hand away from his throat. "Can't we just have a fair fight?"
"This is a battle of the wits. My mind power is set and prepared. You'll meet your death soon, and everyone will know you've ended it yourself, on your own blade."
Solon didn't think he'd be able to get out of this one, though he forced himself to be calm. "Fine, before I die, can we talk?" Might as well find out all that I can, and see if I can get the info to the others before...
"Sure. And be assured I will answer you truthfully, for you will die anyway," the man replied calmly.
((I feel like I get into way too many life or death situations >.>... As for the Ramen, maybe I'll buy some and try it, oneday.))
Harver nodded. "It's weird. You have to guard something so important at such a young age..." He stopped. Again!? Harver looked at Jas. "Solon's in trouble. Again!"
((No, you will buy the Ramen NOW. =P))
"Wait a minute, how can you tell?" Jas, who was going to sit on a couch, stands back up.
"It's Emit." Harver said, trying to remain calm, but also trying to focus. "Apparently, he can tell me a lot about the Dead Men. It's how I know about all of you, even though most of you've never given me your names." He looked at the door. "I'm going. Thanks for your hospitality." He left the door, running towards the direction of the cove.
"Mama!" Jas looks into the kitchen. "I promise I'll be back!" She runs out the door, quickly catching up to Harver, and somehow able to get into her ninja gear before then. "Did you forget I'm part of this team?"
"No!" Harver said, embarrased somewhat. "Just that, I don't want you to get hurt..." He looked at Jas with her ninja gear on. "...But I must have forgotten that you can take care of yourself." He put on a smile. "So our motives are clear. Get Solon, and try to kill the Dead Man." Yet... Harver thought. How can you kill what is dead?
((Go FFX and cast Holy on his ass. XD))
"We're gonna get hurt at some point, like it or not," Jas says. "But yes, we get Solon out no matter what."
(( *SIGH* I leave for one day and ten PAGES! TEN PAGES!! Summary please? )))
Kai saw Jas and Harver running, he knew it must be important so he ran after them.
((Isn't Kai on the ship? If so, we ran no where near the ship.))
Quote from: LightningSword on January 03, 2008, 03:36:16 PM
((Isn't Kai on the ship? If so, we ran no where near the ship.))
((No he's not on the ship))
Soon, Stephanopolus and Gernodo appeared.
"He is mine to kill, Sweeney," Steph growled. "Let me finish him off."
"You had your chance 12 years ago and couldn't do it. It's my turn now!" Sweeney yelled back, forcing the sword right up to Solon's throat. Solon pushed the sword down as hard as he could, but he couldn't do it. He was sweating from the constant pressure he was forced to put on his own hand, but didn't give up.
"No, I must do it! I have the least status in the Dead Men, killing this will bring me up. You two are already higher up ranks!" persuaded Gernodo.
"After not killing the boy my first chance, I've been brought down in status as well," Steph reminded Gernodo. "It was my job, I will finish it!" The bickering made Sweeney lose his calm mind, and Solon felt the grip slippening.
((...Fine.))
Harver turned his head to see that Kai was now following them. He had no time for nonsense. "Why are you following? Shouldn't you be with your sister?" A look ahead showed that they were almost at the cove. Harver didn't wait for an answer, and dashed ahead of the group. He came upon the site, and was temporarily stunned as he saw Solon try to commit suicide. What the...? He shook it off, and decided he would ask questions later. He had to fight the Dead Men. He unsheathed his sword, and swung at Sweeny.
((Just so you know, Sweeney's sword isn't on me. I've got my own sword on me, making it look like I'm about to cut my own throat))
Gerodo shot a electric current right at Harver at the same time that Steph shot Harver back with a blast of air.
"No!" Solon yelled. "You... can't die... You're my second..." Solon was about to push the sword down, but Harver's sudden arrival reminded Sweeney of Solon, so he brought Solon's hand back up.
"I'll concentrate on the boy, you take care of the intruders," Sweeney directed.
((Oh. I misread the post. The way you described it, it sounded as if Sweeny (Todd?) had put his hand on the blade... nvm. I'll edit the post.))
Harver felt the blasts hit him. "Urgh!" His left arm went completely limp, and his right shoulder was bleeding. Still, he couldn't abandon Solon. Time! He ran up to Sweeny, and pulled his blade back, ready to thrust with all his might. Time! Almost all of his strength went into this quick strike with his blade...
The hit just bounced off. Sweeney (Todd) just smirked and waved a hand, Harver began doing a strange dance using only his feet.
((I chose the name because it sounds like suicide, and, you know, the movie...)
((Godmodding? =P))
Harver realized something. The Dead Men had to have powers somehow. Time! He walked away from Sweeny, and towards Solon. He tried to take the blade out of his hands, but there was some force keeping him from doing it. Blood began to come out of Harver's mouth. This isn't good. There's not enough time to- Instantly everything started moving again. Oh crap!
((So Gernodo was the one in the stump, who electrified the floor; Sweeney (Todd?) uses mind control to force opponents into suicide, and Stephawhateveritwas killed Solon's parents... Interesting choice of names.))
Venice woke up and went into a cafe/bar in town. Trin, who was by now incredibly bored, followed. Once inside, Venice drank three bottles of beer, and managed to remain sober. Trin merely sat at a table and didn't order anything.
((Scale gem? =P))
"He's got the Time Gem!" shrieked Sweeney. "Get him!"
Gerodo ran towards Harver, but Solon stuck out his foot and tripped him. "I may not... be able to help too much..." Solon told Harver. "But I got your back..." Then he kicked hard at Gerodo's face. Steph used some magic to quickly let the Time Gem float out of Harver's pocket and towards them. "No!" Solon shouted, his reaction just quick enough to grab the gem back. But his sword cut into his throat, and then finally he had control of his hands. He felt his neck... "I... got your gem..." Solon panted.
((Steph, because I felt like it. Gerodo because he's both the powers to do what Ganondorf does in all the boss battles, shoot that ball out of his sword. The name comes mostly from Gerudo. And Sweeney because it sounds like suicide, and then there's the movie which is all about killing people with razors and Sweeney's favorite type of death is a sliced throat.))
(( Summary please))
Quote from: Joeofmars on January 03, 2008, 04:15:15 PM
(( Summary please))
((I'm not even sure what's going on...))
((Harver and Solon are fighting 3 Dead Men, we've lost all of our gems except the Time Gem. Everyone else is hanging out in Crescent Island. The only people who know about the fight in the cove is Jas, Kai, Harver, Solon, and the Dead Men.))
"Solon!" Harver cried out. He quickly ran over, grabbing the gem in one hand and one of Solon's hand in the other. We have to get out of here... Time! He looked at Solon, who was bleeding fastly. Which was odd, since time should have frozen everything. Could it be that since we have contact, the time freeze doesn't affect him?
((Hint, hint.))
((We have contact with what, exactly? And that doesn't sound like a good thing... Will you be able to mend me, doc?))
((Contact as in, Harver grabbed Solon's hand. Because they have contact, the gem affects Solon as well. They both are unaffected by the time freeze.))
((Oh, that contact))
Solon looked up at Harver, plugging his cut with one of his hands. "Harver, my gem... If I die, they can use it. It controls the light and darkness of an area and can change the shapes of objects..." Solon told Harver, trying to get everything he knew out quickly. Solon took the socks off of his right arm and plugged it in his cut, needing time to talk to Harver.
((Btw, when I said godmodding, I meant when you controlled Harver dancing.))
"Solon, you're not going to die." Harver said reassuringly. "You have a lot of life left in you." If worse comes to worse, I'll give you mine. He ran over to Sweeny and swiped the Scale Gem out of his hand. "We have to get out of here, and fast." He was bleeding again.
((Oh, yeah well that's what Sweeney does, controls people's actions.))
"Whoever said I was going to die?" Solon remarked. "They can't kill me. I just... Just thought you ought to know..." Solon stood up, keeping all the socks pressed against his neck. "Let's get going then." He was shaky from the loss in blood, but he was ready for anything.
((Wow... Harver would die for a random thief he met in a bar? >_>))
Venice staggered out of the bar an hour later, quite drunk. He walked back to the ship and flopped down on the deck, asleep.
______________
Trin walked out of the bar as well,. As she got back to the ship, she stared at the sleeping Venice with an eyebrow raised and took up her spot by the rails again.
((Where are Solon and Harver at the moment? Still at the cove?))
((Actually, Harver knows all about Solon, and everyone else. Emit told him. And they didn't meet in a bar. They met outside a bar. =P And yes.))
Harver quickly walked out of the cove. Time! He hoped they were far enough away from the Dead Men.

Harver quickly walked out of the cove. Time! He hoped they were far enough away from the Dead Men.
((If Venice knew Harver knew all about him, he would be very creeped out. And in a bar, outside a bar, it's all the same difference.))
((Actually, the first time we all met was at the docks, then Harver ran back for his sword xD I win!))
Solon followed Harver, feeling whoozy. "You know what I've always wanted to do before I died?" he asked. "And I'm not sayin' I am or nothing... Just, making talk."
Boogie sat depressed in his bunk. Shantae walked in on him.
" What's 'amatter? "
" I don't wanna talk about it. " Boogie replied.
" Talking makes it better. "
" Well, " He started, " Everyones going on crazy adventures and they always leave me behind! "
" Well... " She had a look in her eye, " We can go on an adventure. "
Venice woke up on the deck.
"Where's the cannon?" he said groggily.
Trin looked at him and stared for a moment, then turned away.
"Ugh," said Venice and got up. He staggered off the ship and walked away with no clear destination.
"What is it?" Harver asked, as he and Solon continued to saunter back to the ship.
"Nothing," Solon replied. "I don't have a single thing I want to do before I die. And now, I've been thinking, maybe I need some goals." Some goals might persuade me to do something with myself before I go... I'm not going to lay around in my death bed, I'd rather die doing something with myself, he thought.
"Well, you already have a goal, don't you?" Harver inquired him. "I have a goal as well, and it's the same as everyone who has been accompanying(sp?) you. It's the same as your goal. Whatever happens, we need to defeat the Dead Men. I'm sure that's something for you to do before you die." He gave Solon a wink.
((Yes, before I live that is a great thing to do... :P))
Solon nodded, never thinking about that as a goal before. "I guess I do, then," he replied. He stumbled, but regained composure. "I think I need this wound stitched up..."
"I'll do it once we get back to the ship." Harver said. "I've gone over many books in the short time I've been alive, so I know quite a few things about surgery. All we need are the materials, which I'm sure we have in the first-aid kit."
"You're going to do it!?" Solon replied. "Er, can't I just- Wait a second, what about Jas and Kai?" Solon asked. "I mean, do you think the Dead Men attacked them or do you think they're looking for us...? I'd rather find them before you start poking a needle in my throat..."
Harver chuckled slightly. "I'm sure they're fine. Kai thinks he's so great, and I've seen Jas in action, so I think they'd be ok. But one of us should go back to get them after I finish. I should go, since you'd have to recover." Harver stepped on to the ship, as they had arrived.
"Or... I could go look for them and not get a needle puncture below my head. Yeah, yeah... I like my idea better," Solon replied, turning back around.
Jas looks for Harver and Solon, but she doesn't see them. "Son of a mutha..." She mumbles a few other choice words.
"So, feeling better already?" Harver asked.
Venice staggered back to the ship having gone back to the bar for several more beers. Trin noticed him coming and figured he was drunk. He flopped back down in his bunk and fell asleep, a light snore coming out. Trin rolled her eyes before looking off the railing again.
((So you guys just ditch Jas and Kai, then forget about 'em? XD))
Jas starts to run off, back to the others.
((Harver didn't forget. Solon's injuries were somewhat severe, so he had to make quick decisions.))
((Oh, okay))
Jas makes her way back into the town.
Solon passed Jas on his way as far away from Harver as he could get. "Oh, Jas!" Solon exclaimed when he saw her. "Alright, so the Dead Men didn't get you. That's good, they probably think I'm dead so they won't be bothering us for a while." Until they try using the Crescent Gem... Solon gave a wave as he continued past Jas and through the other side of town.
Harver sighed as Solon walked away. Why does everything have to be so hard? He went to the side of the ship and leaned against the railing.
((I feared this might happen...And it did. O.o I go on a trip for a couple of days and there's over 10 pages of posts...So...Summary plz! :)))

((Don't know about anyone else... But Venice got drunk and is currently snoring away on his bunk. Trin sorta of just existed there.))
(( Boogie and Shantae are 'adventuring' ))
((We lost the Scale Gem and the Dead Men found the Crescent Gem. Now all we have is the Emit/Time Gem xD Also, three of the Dead Men have names. Sweeney, who can control people's actions, Steph, who is the guy who killed Solon's parents, and Gerodo, who is the guy who can create electric currents. All named by me, thank you very much :P.))
Solon wandered through the town, wrapping the socks more carefully around his throat. Most of the bleeding stopped now, but he was weak and his eyesight was slowly drifting from him. Could this be the end of me? Atleast I'll get to see my parents again... Solon thought. Jeez, what happened? My right arm is ruined and I almost died... Or I'm dying... I suck at this adventuring stuff. I thought it was in my blood, but maybe I misread all the signs leading towards what my parent's did for a living... Maybe this isn't what I'm supposed to do...
Tanbar ran up to Solon. "Oh my god! What happened to you?" I can't believe me and Lanbar missed all this while on the boat!
"Oh, nothing. Just a run of the mill suicide attempt. Don't worry, I didn't succeed," Solon joked, coughing a bit. I think...
"Su-suicide? But...Why?" Tanbar said shocked. Could this have anything to do with that Dead Man who took me and just gave me to Zaroff and Zaroff?
"No reason, really," shrugged Solon. "I guess it was mostly because my sword hand was being controlled by some Dead Man named Sweeney. Too bad my sword hand is mangled, otherwise I might have been able to succeed." Solon snatched some fruits off of the stands as they passed. "Want something?" he added to Tanbar.
"Wait...a Dead Man who could control your body?" Tanbar said taking a bite of the apple. "I'm pretty sure I met him at Nimbuslus Land but my memory is a bit fuzzy from that night."
"His name is Sweeney," Solon replied. "He doesn't kill anyone, just forces them into suicide." Solon repeated Sweeney's words.
The sun had yet to rise over Crescent Island. Harver leaned over the railing of the ship, gazing at the coast line, as if waiting for something. His eyes flashed with realization as he saw something in the distance. He got off the ship quickly so that he couldn't be seen, and rushed over to where he saw the flicker of movement.
He was now underneath a part of the island that stretched over the ocean. The perfect place for a conversation that needed to be done in secrecy.
Remember to be careful! Choose every word with caution...
I know! Harver snapped back.
"You are late." A voice said from the shadows of the area. A man crepped forward with a black cloak on so that most of his body could not be seen, but his voice showed he was somewhat older than Harver. He removed his hood to show gray hair and a long moustache and beard.
Harver gave a slight bow. "I'm sorry, Lord Kerow. I was held up a little bit."
"That is no excuse for you being an hour late." Kerow said, walking towards Harver, and giving him a motion showing that he should stop bowing. Harver did so. "However, you are a new recruit, so I shall let you off with but a warning."
"Thank you, my Lord." Harver said. "I shall try to not let it happen again."
"Make sure you do." Kerow rasped. His dark purple eyes almost seemed to penetrate Harver's skin. "So, how are the plans going?"
"Fairly well, milord." Harver began. "A meeting earlier - which was part of the reason I was late - showed that we have three of the four gems."
"Excluding?"
"The Cloud Gem. We do know, however, that it is in possession of General Zaroff of Scalus."
"Excellent. We shall attend to him immediately. Imagine his face," Kerow smirked at this, "when he realizes that our treaty was merely a ploy?" He began to laugh, and Harver smiled slightly. He stopped after his short chuckle. "So, you have the Time Gem and the Scale Gem, and Sweeny and the others have the Crescent Gem?"
"That is correct, milord."
"Good. Soon, our plans will fall into place, and all of Slander - no - the whole of Vulcum shall be ours!" Kerow began to laugh, harder this time, but Harver did not.
"Do you forget, milord, how formidable Solon and the others have proved to be?" Harver questioned. Kerow stopped immediately, and gave Harver a skeptical look. Not good.
"Do you question the way I plan - the way I strategize?" Kerow asked.
"I only wish that you do not overlook what could be the biggest flaw in your plan." Harver stated firmly. Do not get too arrogant, boy! "If they find out about your plan, then that could mean the end of the entire goals of the Dead Men!" Kerow began to chuckle slightly.
"You learn fast, my boy." Kerow said, walking so close to Harver so that there was but an inch of space between them. "But do not forget who is in charge here, and do not choose your words so quickly."
"Yes sire." Kerow backed off.
"Do not worry, I have a little plan to take care of your little 'friends'," Kerow continued. "I have an idea that will come into play eventually. Until then, be on the awares for any signs, and don't fall too deep into their friendship game." Kerow stepped away from Harver, slipping back into the shadows. "Remember, I see all. Dismissed." Kerow vanished, and Harver began to walk back to the ship. Harver sighed.
That was close! I told you to be more careful!
Shut up! Harver snapped. He had had enough for one day. Or one night. Or for however long he had been awake. ...Sorry. I'm just worrying if we're doing the right thing or not. One slip and our entire plan could fall apart!
I am sure it's best for all of us. If all goes as planned, then they shall fall, and we will have peace.
For all of our lives, I hope you're right.
Harver returned to the ship, and went into the Men's Quarters. He wrote a little bit of his encounters before deciding he should finish it in the morning. Just before he went to sleep, he had one last conversation with Emit.
Did he mean it? Can he see everything?
Do not worry. I have every bit of confidance that he can not.
Harver took a sigh of relief, and closed his eyes, falling into slumber.
And so we go.
Forces them to do suicide...I think I remember something else now. "Did...you have any free will against him?" Because I know I did at the time...
((Just so you know, the Dead Men have the Scale Gem, so they are in possession of that as well, LS. The only gem any of us have is the Time gem, which you have. Now, I think that Harver is getting close to the Dead Men so he can get close and then destroy their interior. But, who thinks Harver is actually going to betray us?))
"I could control everything but my right hand," Solon replied. "I mean, I did have the power to pull away from my throat, but it was like the battle of the minds. If one became clouded with other thoughts... That would affect their connection."
((As I said, Harver is a very complex man. Anyway, Harver has both the Time and Scale Gem. In one of my earlier posts, he swiped the Scale Gem from Sweeny, when time was frozen.))
((Oh yeeeeaaah... I forgot all about that. I think it would be cooler if Harver was part of the Dead Men, but I don't think he is. Why would an ancestor of Emit be part of the Dead Men? And why would someone who wants to be a normal boy be part of the Dead Men team?))
"Well I suppose you were very fortunate for that." He said. Strange, I had much more control...Could this have anything to do with my twin?
((And Jas is by herself... again...))
Jas starts walking back to her parents' house. When she gets there, she slips inside, careful not to wake her mom and dad up. After she closes the door to her room, Jas sighs. "This is going nowhere. I'd probably do better myself, but..."
((Birdie, how many times do I have to tell you; Harver is a complex character. :P Could he have lied to Solon the entire time about what he wanted? Could he have been decieving Kerow, or Emit, or... the list goes on and on. I have one answer left for you; you will have to wait and see. ;)))
Lanbar walked around the dock remembering his memories of what kind of pranks he had pulled on the people who came to this dock when he was a kid.
((And I still think he isn't part of the Dead Men. Even if it would be an awesome twist. But, I'll just have to wait and see if I'm right, won't I?))
Solon made his way into an alleyway right in the heart of the market place. There was a window at the end of the alleyway, and Solon pulled out a key. He unlocked the window and climbed into it. Inside was a small room with only a bed, a desk, a bookcase, and one lamp. There was also a bathroom by the door, which was barracaded shut. Solon had blocked the door so it wouldn't work when he was younger and stole the key to the window. Then, he had claimed it as his own room, and the owner of the hotel hadn't even bothered with the lost room.
"Home sweet home," Solon sighed, closing the window and collapsing onto the bed.
Tanbar looked around and couldn't find Solon. "Hm...Where'd he go? I guess I got lost in my thoughts for a second."
((Anyone mind if I time skip a few hours, so that it's about 8 AM?))
((Oh sorry, when you were posting Lanbar's thing I thought you were posting Tanbar's, so I thought you went back to the ship... Oh well, my bad.))
Solon jumped up, leaning his head back tore his neck some more and the blood was beginning to ooze out again. "Ooh..." groaned Solon, stumbling into the bathroom. He was fast short breaths, now. He began pouring water over his wound and shaking. "Dang! Can I get a break?" Solon growled, dabbing his wound with a wet towel. "Ugh, I... need a break..." Solon stuttered, passing out on the ground.
((Sure, that works perfectly. Time skip starts after my post.))
((Go on ahead. :)))
((I dun care. Jas would still be asleep anyways. :P))
Harver yawned, getting up from his bunk. He went out on deck to see the sun just starting to rise up from the horizon. And a new day begins...
What should we do now?
I guess we wait until the next 'attack'. He sighed. I hope Solon isn't too hurt. I don't want him to die yet. I'm not through with him.
Harver walked off of the ship, and into the marketplace area.
Lanbar ran off the ship after Harver once he woke up. "Hey, Harver, wait up."
Harver turned around. "Hey Lanbar." He yawned again. "What is it?"
"Well...I have a question about the Dead Men," He started. "And you're a smart guy so I...want to ask a question."
Solon jumped up awake, his throat and arm healed. That dream... My parents... Another omnious warning... he thought. He tried to remember exactly what had happened in the dream. All he could remember was his parents had warned him about some connection between him and the Dead Men. Something... Something about the gems not being safe, maybe? Solon thought. There was a pool of blood all around him, and he felt his throat. Healed... His hand was healed as well.
"Thank you, Mom... Dad..." Solon whispered. "I won't doubt myself again." He got up, ready to put on his smile and close that part of him that missed his family. "Maybe I should check on the gems... Harver might have lost them." Solon jumped out the window of his apartment and went searching for Harver.
Harver put his hand behind his head in a laid back position. "Shoot."
"Well...I never met this one but I feel like I know him. He can control the body of other people...There's a Dead Man like that, right?" Lanbar said
Meanwhile...
Tanbar was walking down the alleyway that Solon's room was and bumped into him when he jumped out of the window. "Oh, sorry." He said looking forward. "Oh, Solon, where'd you go last night?"
"You are correct." Harver said. "His name is Sweeny. You know about him?"
"Um, yes...no...sort of." Lanbar said trying to find an answer. "Well...It's sort of hard to explain but it wasn't I who met him...but my brother. He never told me about it but I remember it happening as if from my own eyes..."
Harver had become interested. "Hmm... well, if you get the time, talk to Tanbar about it. That should clear things up. I, however, am not able to give you that much information. Anything else I can help you with?"
((Congrats on the rank-up, Birdie. :)))
"Just to my apartment," Solon pointed to the window as he closed it and locked it. "Have you seen Harver anywhere? I need to talk to him."
"Well...I've mentioned it to Tanbar but he denies my theorey that I gave him of what happened..." And why I remembered it better than he did although I wasn't even around "I think that I possibly kicked in my 'twin powers' and somehow controlled Tanbar's body. From how I felt, I felt that Sweeny had control of Tanbar's mind but somehow, I managed to stop him from controlling Tanbar completely and prevented him from killing Tanbar." He said. "So...Do you have any sort of explaination for this?"
-----------------
"No, I don't know where he is right now, but he shouldn't be far from the ship." Tanbar said. "I need to talk to Lanbar and I'm pretty sure he's near the ship too.)
"Great, let's go," Solon replied, walking with Tanbar. "The strangest thing happened to me last night... My wounds all healed," Solon said, deciding to make some conversation.
(Hey, I evolved!))
"Hm...that is strange" He said. "...Almost as strange as what Lanbar told me last night."
"What did Lanbar tell you last night?" Solon asked, intruiged.
Harver paused for a moment, thinking. "Besides the small chance of there being extreme paranoia at the same time effecting you and your brother causing such a thing to happen, no, I don't have a logical explanation. However, it might have something to do with the gems. I don't really know." He sighed. "I'm sorry I couldn't be of more use to you."
"Well Lanbar said that when that one Dead Man took control of my body, he somehow came in spiritually using his 'twin powers'" Tanbar said saying 'twin powers' with a mocking tone. "To come in and control my body so the Dead Man wouldn't kill me. I think it's just a load of crap!"
----------------
"Oh well...I was hoping you'd have a good explaination for this." Lanbar said. "Because Tanbar thinks that my story is a load of crap!"
((XD @ the both talking about the "load of crap" thing at the same time))
"Well, that is strange. I don't know how he could have done that..." Solon replied. "But a lot of weird things happen with the gems. For all we know, it could be true. I mean, just yesterday I had a broken arm and a cut in my throat, now nothing. And these gems intensify features and give powers and ambitions. Who knows what Lanbar might have done..." Solon reasoned.
"Well, I'm pretty sure that the gems are the more reasonable option of what happened of the two." Harver said. "As a matter of fact, weird things have happened with the gems and those close to it. It could be why some of the Dead Men have the powers they have."
"Well I'm pretty sure I know." He said. "Knowing Lanbar, he was probably off somewhere getting drunk!" I can't believe that Solon thinks this is true too!
-----------------------
"Well...That may be a reasonable answer." Lanbar said thinking for a moment. "But I don't know any gems that would somehow make me take over my brother's body..."
((Hey, does anybody know what powers the Crescent Gem gives?))
((Summary please))
((The Crescent gem can change objects shapes and make an area around that person lighter or darker.
SUMMARY: The Dead Men have been attacking everyone, lately. The Dead Men stole the Crescent Gem but they cannot touch it directly.))
Solon just shrugged. He saw Harver and Lanbar in the distance by the ship. "Here's your chance to get to the bottom of things," Solon replied.
((There is a long, important post I made that I think you should read. In a condensed form, Harver and Solon got away from the Dead Men attack. Jas eventually got away, but we don't know about Kai. Solon went to his apartment room, almost died from loss of blood, then woke up to find out that the wound was gone. Before that, Harver had a meeting with the leader of the Dead Men to discuss their goals.
In the morning, Lanbar told Harver about how he thinks he has "twin powers", and was able to save his brother from Sweeny, a Dead Man who forces others to commit suicide. Harver believes it might have something to do with a reaction between the gems' natural force, since weird things have happened with the gems before (ie. Harver's recovery, Solon's recovery...). Meanwhile, Solon talked to Tanbar about the same thing. Solon is looking for Harver.
And I'm pretty sure that sums it up. Btw, I don't know about the others. Sorry.))
"It's not about one gem." Harver said. "If it is how it happened, then it was most likely a reaction between some of the gems. For some reason, I think the gems may... know what is happening. It sounds crazy, but hey ~ so does your story."
"Hey, Harver!" Solon called out, jogging over to Harver. "Can I talk to you alone for a minute? I've got some important things to go over..."
"Sure." Harver waved slightly to Lanbar signaling goodbye, and then faced Solon. Geez, why does everyone want to talk to me today? "What's up?"
"It's about the gems. You have the Emit Gem and the Scale Gem, right? Well, I think we should scatter them up. In case the Dead Men come back, since they know you have the Emit Gem. I'll take the Scale Gem for now, until I think of someone else trustworthy to give it to. You can keep holding onto the Time Gem, though," Solon explained.
Harver pondered this for a moment.
What do you think, Emit?
I see only one option we can take.
Right, kill him and make it look like the Dead Men did it.
Haha, very funny.
Harver took out the blood red gem out of his pocket and handed it to Solon. "A wise decision, my friend. However, I believe you are trustworthy enough to me for you to hold onto it." ...For now.
"Yeah, I know I am," Solon replied. "But I've got other plans. That Crescent Gem is mine, it was the only thing my parents left to me in their will. If I'm going to hold onto a gem, it'll be that one. The good news is, there is some spell on it, so only I can touch it, as long as I'm alive that is. So, I'm not worried about the Dead Men using it, and that's the only gem they have." Solon paused a moment, remembering what he was going to say.
"I'm going to have one person hold each gem, as we get them. Any suggestion on who it should be? I won't be telling anyone who has what gem, though, I had a dream... Something about a traitor or something about the gems not being safe... I can't remember. I've already got an idea of who will have which gem, but your opinion matters to me, Harver. So, whatcha think?"
Tanbar walked up to Lanbar. "You know, I still think your idea is a load of crap!"
"Well I don't!" Lanbar said back. "If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead.
"Ha! That was my own will power that saved me!" Tanbar said.
They continued arguing about this oblivious to Solon and Harver talking.
Harver nodded, being careful about what he should say next.
He said something about a trai-
I know! I'm not deaf.
"Hmm... well, since I'm a descendant of Emit, I believe I should have the Time Gem, no change in that. And since you are the only one who can touch the Crescent Gem, you shall have that, once we acquire it. Hmm... you should give the Cloud Gem to either Lanbar or Tanbar, since they have proven strong and useful. Which leaves the Scale Gem," He pointed to the red gem in Solon's hand. "I believe you should give that to either Jas or Kai. I'm not too sure about that one.
"Of course, since you are the leader, you have the rights to alter my idea anyway you like. But what do you think?"
Solon thought, he had already thought about giving the Cloud Gem to Lanbar and Tanbar, but he glanced over at their fighting and was beginning to wonder if they could be trusted to take care of it together. And no matter what Harver had said, the Scale gem was going to Kai. Solon was just glad that Harver agreed on most of his points.
"Well, we don't need to worry about the Cloud Gem yet," Solon replied, deciding that Lanbar and Tanbar might not be able to handle the gem. "But I think I've got everything figured out now, thanks. But, there are still some other things we need to talk about." Solon walked onto the ship and motioned for Harver to follow him.
"Ok," Harver started, following Solon, "but after you're done, I have something I want to ask you."
Solon made sure they were alone in the Men's Quarters. "Ask me your questions first. My own ideas and plans can wait," Solon replied.
((I guess Kai is on the ship))
Kai looked down on the ocean and looked at his reflection.
Harver sighed. "Tell me about this dream you had, please, if it isn't too troubling."
"I can't really remember it too well," Solon replied, squinting his eyes as he tried to remember. "My parents were there... And some other old man, but I don't know who the old man was. My parents reassured me that what I was doing was right... Then, everything went black and the old man in the background was the only one left. I could see him through the darkness because he was shining a ghostly white... And he gave me a warning about the gems that I can't remember."
"Hmm..." Harver was thinking. "And you somehow know that this has something to do with a traitor?"
You are treading in dangerous waters!
Solon nodded, already guessing that would be Harver's reply. "Yeah, I remember him saying something about the gems not being safe. He said something about someone having a connection with the Dead Men... I wasn't too sure, the connection was fuzzy. But, I've had other omnious warnings, and I'm sure this was one of them."
"Well, I'm sure everything will become clear eventually." Harver smiled at Solon. "Anyway, there was something you wanted to talk about?"
((Now I think Harver is part of the Dead Men, which will make everything much more interesting! But I'll be constantly changing my mind, so we'll see...))
"Hm? Oh yeah! Listen, I had a dream a while ago saying that in order to get all the gems, one of us will have to die. For the longest time, I thought it was talking about me. I'd need to die in order for you guys to get the Crescent Gem. But now, I'm thinking that this traitor is going to need to die. The person who told me this was some... Some man who lived in the underworld. And then, constantly on our journeys, my parents have came into my dreams and told me that I'm on the right path. Finally now, I've gotten this dream from a godly man telling me there is a traitor within our numbers.
"I know I'm no prophet, but all these dreams must be connected. I think we should really take heed. That man told me that one would die in order to get the gems, and the other said there was a traitor. Putting two and two together, it can only mean one thing in my eyes. But, what do you think it means?"
So now that the two have 'talked it over' Tanbar had to give in to Lanbar's idea seeing as there being no other explaination. The two went back onto the ship.
Harver thought about this for a moment, taking it all in, counting the possibilities. "Yes. I think that, eventually, the traitor will be exposed, and will be killed. Unfortunately, I also think that one of us will have to kill the traitor. I had a dream as well, telling me something that sounded like a poem. It went like this:
"Born in Darkness, come into Light.
One shall kill the other, by midnight's flight."
"So not only will we find out who the traitor is before our journey is over, but one of us will have to kill him or her." Harver became solemn. "I'm sorry, but I don't see any other explanation."
"I hope I'm the one to kill the cheap bastard who thinks they can pull a fast one on me!" Solon stated. "The Gods have kept me alive this far, I'm not going to let them down." Solon gave Harver a nod before walking out of the chamber.
Harver stood there as he watched Solon leave the room. Heh... now that's odd. Solon killing me? And not even being scared. I wonder if he'll feel the same way when the time comes.
If the time comes.
Sorry Emit, but I don't see how we can get out of this one.
Harver walked out of the room and out onto the deck. He looked at the waves that steadily crashed into the ship. If I'm going to die eventually, then I'd rather make the most of what's left of my life than live in the agony of knowing that death is right around the corner. I'm not afraid.
Harver...
Kai turned around and saw Harver "Oh. why look it's the new second in command who can't kill a fly"
"And yet I killed a Dead Man on the ship back on Nimbuslus." Harver stared Kai in the eye.
"Ah yes but you don't seem so strong, your smart but thats it"
"And you think you're stronger than me?" Harver unsheathed his sword. "I think we should have a spar."
Careful!
"Very well, prepare for defeat" Kai reached for his falchion.
"I'm ready when you are." Harver said, waiting for Kai to make the first move.
"If your smart enough YOU would make the first move" Kai said
Harver stepped forward and faked a slash at Kai, hoping to lure him into making the first attack.
Kai turned to dodge the slash but it seemed as tough the sword wouldn't of hit him anyway.
"Your aim is off, Scholar" Kai chuckled.
"Your brain is off, hothead." Harver made a thrust at Kai's chest.
Kai ducked quickly and kicked Harver in the shin.
Harver rotated and moved his blade to block the kick. "Playing dirty, are we? And I thought we were having a swordfight."
"yeah, but no time to talk" Kai punched Harver's stomach.
Harver felt the punch hit him hard. He grunted a bit, and stumbled backwards. He was still on his feet, but he was angry. "That's it." He said, sheathing his sword. "I won't fight you if you continue to pull off cheap shots in a swordfight."
"Alright, fine I will stop with the cheap shots but why not a fist fight?"
"Because I don't believe in street style fighting." Harver said, matter-of-factly. "The only fighting I will ever do is with my sword."
"So even in situations where you could die you wouldn't result to street fighting"
Harver pondered this. "No. I'm a man of my word. I would not do that."
"You are different then those who've I fought before"
"How so?" Harver asked, expecting a scholar joke.
"Well even the first time I fought Solon he tried to kick me in the face, and you say wouldn't result to street fighting even in a situation where you could die".
"Hmm..." Harver thought about this. "Thanks." He said. He turned and leaned over the railing, looking at the ocean.
"And in my whole life I thought I would never meet someone who would fight honestly, with only a sword. I respect that" Kai said looking out on the ocean.
Harver smiled. "Maybe you're not as bad as I maked you out to be."
"I've experinced a war or two and people think I've become a shell of myself. They are all wrong, Now I just don't trust people that much"
Harver chuckled a bit. I can see why... He turned to Kai, and said. "It's been nice talking to you. Maybe we should talk more often." He turned away and walked off the ship, headed back to the marketplace. There were a few things he wanted to buy.
Solon decided to check out the cove on the other side of Crescent Island. He had only been to the secluded isle on the other side of the Island for his meetings with his theiving clan, and he wondered if it was still as empty as usual or if more people found out about it. He spent a few minutes stealing bread, meat, fruit, and a bag to carry all the things in. It would make for a good meal on his way. Crescent Island was long, so he knew it could take a full day or longer to get to the other side. It was about 800 miles across, but he knew a few shortcuts to speed up the process...
Harver stepped out of the jewlery shop, and in his pocket was what he had went for. He checked his wallet, and sighed. Pretty pitiful, wouldn't you say?
I'm afraid so.
Hey, can you make me some money?
Sure! Would you like a flat screen TV with that?
Harver chuckled as his eyes wandered to a shop that sold musical items. He walked into the shop casually, and checked things around. Wow... this place has things at more than reasonable prices...
Please explain to me why we are here.
Hey - you know I liked to study music when I was younger. And this place has so many cheap things, I'll still have a little bit of money left over!
Emit sighed inside Harver's mind. Just don't waste all of it.
Harver smirked, and bought two of his most favorite instruments. He then walked out of the store, and back towards the ship.
Solon had been walking for hours. He made a few stops to steal along the way, and had pockets filled with gold. I've got time to get there. As long as I need, he thought. He knew the place would become a quiet forest as soon as he made it out of the town. He might as well shop first. He made it to the edge of the markets, and decided he would shop their before entering the deserted forest.
"Come here, boy," one old man standing by a small shop of his own commanded Solon. Intruiged, Solon walked over. "I think this item might just suit you." The old man flashed an item at Solon. He widened his eyes.
"H-How?" Solon whispered. "Let me see that again."
The man shook his head. "No. Buy it now for 100 coins or forever wished you had."
"You knew them?" Solon asked, getting choked up. "You knew my parents?"
"Ay, I did. Great people, they were. Ah, here. You can have it for free." The man tossed the item to Solon, who caught in his hands and immediately put it in his pocket. He wasn't ready to look at it just yet.
"Thank you," Solon whispered, giving the man his entire bag of gold before walking away. Solon didn't feel like shopping anymore. He decided to get to the beach cove as soon as he could.
Harver walked back onto the ship, and into the Men's Quarters. He set down some of the things he bought. He picked up a flute that he had bought from the music store. My mom taught me how to play the flute and piano when I was 6. After she was done with that, Harver picked up a violin, my father taught me how to play the violin and fiddle. They are great people.
I'm sure you miss them a lot.
More than you know. However, I still have to wonder whether they are my birth parents or not, seeing how there was so much confusion within my family tree.
I-
Please, don't. I don't want to know.
Whatever you say.
Harver set the instruments down on his bunk, and walked back out onto the deck to get some fresh air. He looked at the sky. The sun was almost ready to set, which meant the day was almost over. He walked over to the railing, and looked at the ocean.
Kai leaned over the railing and looked at the ocean, the sun reflected off of the deep blue waters.
Solon stole a bicycle from a stand and began riding it towards the cove. This'll be much faster! Solon thought with a smirk. It only took another hour and then he made it to the cove. He was tired out and swam to the cove. When he made it to the cove he was completely out of breath and tired out. With a yawn, he laid down by a tree and relaxed.
((Oooomg... been playin' FFX for a bunch of hours straight and didn't realize it... What happened?))
((You'll have to read it to believe it. But apparently, Harver is part of the Dead Men. No one knows it yet. Read pg. 137))
((Seen that... so, nothing important between then and now... okay...))
Jas had been on her own for most of the day, so she decided to find the others... well at least try to.
Solon heard talking farther into the cove, it woke him up. He got up slowly and snuck farther into the cove. He hid behind a bush and peered into the area of the voices. Sweeney, Steph, and an older man with a long white beard wearing purple robes.
"The kid isn't dead, Mage Riolo. Gerodo tried touching the gem... It wasn't pretty," Sweeney explained to the older man, Riolo.
"You have failed in killing him too many times to count. I am dissapointed in you," the man voiced, showing no emotion. Solon knew that voice sounded familiar... Almost like the voice he had heard inside the mountain...
"We are sorry, Mage," Steph apologized, kneeling at Riolo's feet and kissing the ground underneath him.
"Stop graveling," ordered Riolo. "You are too petty to kiss the ground I stand on." Steph stood up immediately and backed up by Sweeney. "In order to use the Crescent Gem, that boy must die. But, I don't trust any of you anymore. I'm going to have to ask our inside man to do the job. I can't trust any of you."
"What!?" Sweeney hissed. "How do we know he is trustworthy? Give me a second chance, I know I can kill him next time!"
"No! You've had your chances. I'm sending one of our more higher ups to talk to him. Once he kills Solon and gives us the other two gems, we'll have them all." Sweeney sighed and nodded.
"Fine. Steph, come along. It looks like we aren't needed here," Sweeney said harshly disappearing along Steph in a cloud of smoke. Mage Riolo smirked and turned to look in the direction of Solon, who was hidden behind a bush.
"Your end is near, boy. Very near." Soon, the mage too disappeared.
Solon's breathing quickened. He had to get back to the ship and check on everyone... This was his chance to find out who was the traitor. Running like the wind, he got off the cove and sprinted back into town.
Lanbar and Tanbar were on the ship together and were practicing some sparring between the two.
Solon felt like he had the speed of the Cloud Gem with him. It only took an hour for him to get to the ship, and he ran into a spar of Lanbar's and Tanbar's. He skidded to a stop near them.
"G-Guys!" he gasped. "We need to... Gather everyone up!" Solon put his hands on his knees and spent a couple minutes just gathering his breath again. "Traitor... The gems... Dead Men..." Solon wasn't sure how to explain everything, so he just threw out words.
"Don't worry, everyone's on the ship last time we checked." Lanbar said continuing the sword swinging.
"Yeah...So what's the problem?" Tanbar said.
"P-Problem? Heh, there's no problem... I was just wondering what you guys would do in the face of a crisis. Good job, you pass. Because, over-reacting and running around like a crazy person is not the way to handle things," Solon replied. "Er, right... So, that whole thing was just a drill. But, if you do see anything... traitorous... report it to me right away." And with that Solon began walking to the railings of the ship, shaking his head and watching the horizon. What am I so worried about? I laugh in the face of danger! Ha ha ha! Solon thought.
"Ha! Ha! Ah!" Solon had started laughing outloud, but the railing broke and he fell over. He caught onto the other railing and pulled himself back up. "I'm screwed."
Venice emerged at Solon's yelling. Trin turned around and stared.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"Um...no, something is up." Lanbar said stopping the fight and walking over to Solon. "Okay, so what happened this time?"
"Hey I am not the source of all the problems around here," Solon shot back. "Oh, and by the way, I broke your railing, sorry."
---
Amy walked out of the Women's Quarters to see what all the commotion was about. She stood next to Venice and Trin.
---
Solon turned over to see Venice, Amy, and Trin. "Where've you guys been?" Solon asked.
"Wait, traitor?" Jas who was walking past, stops. She looks over the group. "Any idea who it is?"
Tanbar looked at the rail in disbelief. I just got done fixing that! I can't believe that he broke it...and this soon!
Lanbar gave a glare at Solon. "Okay, now tell us, what were you going to tell us."

"Of course I heard that but I need the details on this!" Lanbar said.
((Mwahahaha just got an idea for this...))
"We all do if we don't want to die," Jas looks back at Solon.

Amy walked out of the Women's Quarters to see what all the commotion was about. She stood next to Venice and Trin.

Solon turned over to see Venice, Amy, and Trin. "Where've you guys been?" Solon asked.
"Bed," responded Venice.
"Nowhere," said Trin. "Now who's the traitor?
Why do they constantly look to me for these details? I never signed up to be the leader... Solon thought. "Well, who's not here?" Solon asked. "Hm... Let me think... Boogie, Shantae, Kai and Harver. Now, who do you think of them could possibly be planning on going against us?" Solon walked them through it.
"Boogie is a new guy, I don't know him or Shantae well at all. Maybe one of you do, though. Then there's Kai. He's always been the one to get in our faces, but he's been there from day one. Then again, he came along voluntarily with no motives. Finally, there's Harver." Solon wasn't sure what to say for Harver, he had always been the voice of reason and a great friend.

"Boogie doesn't seem like the type to betray us," reasoned Venice. "Shantae, I don't know much about. Kai's an idiot, but he's trustworthy. Harver... Hm." Venice wasn't so sure about Harver either.
"Well why should we assume that the traitor is not on the ship?" Lanbar said in response. "For all we know, the traitor could be...you."
Tanbar then jumped in. "but why would he tell us there is a traitor if he was the traitor?"
"Elementary, my dear." Lanbar said. Wow. Did I really just say that?...oh well. "Since he's the one who told us, that'd most likely make us assume that he wasn't the traitor which would make the perfect cover-up for him."
"...When'd you get smart?" Tanbar said.

"Wow," said Venice. "Lanbar's making sense. It must be the Apocalypse."
"Ha ha, very funny." Lanbar said in a sarcastic tone. "I'm a pirate, I know these kind of mind tricks people like to use on eachother."
Hey, this is exactly like back in Nimbuslus Land when the Dead Men were trying to get everyone to turn on me... Now it's finally working. Solon thought. How ironic.
"Yes, I'm the traitor," Solon admitted. "It makes sense, doesn't it? Wasn't it my idea to help Jas get her gem back. Maybe, just so I could steal it? Wasn't it my plan to steal the Scale Gem from Zaroff. Maybe, just so I could keep it to myself? And now, I'm telling everyone there is a traitor. Possibly because I want the trail away from me. Everything fits!"

"He admits it!" said Venice sarcastically. "But I think we're forgetting that we recently got new people on the ship. Ever thought that one of them might be the traitor? Maybe it was Amy, Trin or Shantae."
"Face it, anybody can be the traitor." Lanbar said.
Could it be possible...that my own brother is the traitor!? Tanbar looked at Lanbar and thought for a moment.
"No, no no! You were right. I'm the traitor. Problem solved. Now, I've been running back and forth all day so I'm pretty tired. G'night," Solon said with a yawn before retiring to his cabin.

"Or maybe there isn't a traitor," said Trin. "Maybe the Dead Men just said that so that Solon would tell us. It may have just been a plot to turn us against each other."
"Well, it is true that there isn't even a traitor." Lanbar said. "Another mind trick that we can play on each other."
"Hm...I'm really starting to get annoyed by these Dead Men." Tanbar said. "They're trying to get us to turn against our own group. That's just sick."

"We don't know that there isn't a traitor," said Trin. "For all we know, there could be a traitor who will murder us all in the dead of night, slitting our throats."
"So you're telling us your evil plan, traitor?" muttered Venice.
Trin simply glared at him, a look which was returned with equal intensity.
"I never said that there wasn't a traitor. I only stated that the Dead Men only said this to make us turn against one another." Lanbar said. "So we can never know except for the traitor...if there is one."
"Hmm," Jas smirks, then starts heading elsewhere. "I don't think it's a mind game. I think someone is playin' us, and I'm gonna find out who..."

"Very cocky," observed Venice. "That'll get you killed someday."
"No," Jas looks back. "I just don't like how this is messin' up the little we do have."

"No," Jas looks back. "I just don't like how this is messin' up the little we do have."
"I suppose," he replied. "But try not to die."
Solon sat onto his bed on the ship and put his head into his hands. One of them is going to kill me, and I was the one who brought everyone here. I'm walking into my own death, I've got no one to blame but myself... Solon thought. Instead of just waiting around, I should try and figure out which one of them it is... Solon got back up and walked out of the room, deciding to do some secret research on his own.
"I got it," Jas leaves, then eventually finds Solon. "Hey! Wait a minute," she catches up to him. "Where were you when you... found all this out?"
Hm...what should I do now that there might be a traitor around...I think I'll just lay low and be safe. Lanbar was pacing around in his room thinking. Should I just leave these guys just to be safe?
"The cove on the other side of the island," Solon replied. "But, the Dead Men disappeared after that. So, they could be anywhere now..."
((They're on the ship right? If not, I'll just edit.))
"They could be," Jas starts heading off the ship. "I'm going to the cove, then I'm gonna search from there..."
Tanbar came running after the two talking. "Hey, are you guys going to try and find the Dead Men too?" He said. "Because something seems odd about this but I just can't say what.
Lanbar continued thinking of ideas of what he could do.
"I'll come with you," Solon offered. "If you want to get anything done, you'll need some help with the search."
((Who's Tanbar talking to?))
((You two. ;D Who else is there? :P))
Kai walked around the ship doing nothing.
((He's talking to Jas and Solon BoA))
"Thanks," Jas nods, then looks at Tanbar. "If I am gonna go look for them?"
((I figured, but I wasn't completely sure...))
"What seems so odd?" Solon asked. "I mean, I knew about the traitor for awhile... But now it seems things are fin-" Solon stopped, something had just clicked in his head. But then, as soon as he realized it the thought left him.
"Solon?" Jas looks back. "What's wrong?"
"I... I thought I just..." Solon shook his head. "Ah, nothing. Let's hurry up with this walk. It'll take forever to get there if we move at this pace."
What? He knew about this?... Tanbar also looked at Solon with a questioning face.
Harver ran up to Solon and Jas, emerging from the Men's Quarters. "Hey." Harver said, yawning. "What's up?"
"Oh nothing really." Tanbar said looking at Harver.
"The ceiling," Jas says, still making her way off the ship.
Solon gave Harver a strange look. He squinted at him, trying to remember something.
"We're just going off to figure out who the traitor is," Solon told Harver with a grin. "I overheard some Dead Men talking earlier. Apparently, they need their inside man to do a special job for them..." Solon decided not to mention what it was, though he wanted to reassure everyone that they weren't in danger from the traitor.
"So waddaya say?" Tanbar said. "Do you want to come with us?"
"It's just going to be me going if you guys don't come on," Jas stops and looks back at them."
"I'm goin', I'm goin'," Solon sighed, following after Jas. "Keep your head on."
Tanbar also began following Jas.
Jas begins her walk towards the cove Solon mentioned.
((siv >.<))
Harver followed Solon, interested in what he had said.
It took them the rest of that day, but they made it to the cove. A crescent moon washed over them.
Jas stops to rest for all of two minutes, taking the time to look around before saying, "Where were they?"
"In the clearing, not too deep in. You could hear their voices from here," Solon told her, leading them towards the spot. He stopped right by the bush he had hidden behind and pointed to the open space in front of them.
"Hm..." Jas looks around, trying to scan the area for traps and the like.
"Expectin' to find something?" Solon asked with a yawn. "They wouldn't return to the scene of the crime. There was some mage guy that seemed too smart for that..."
"There's always evidence left," Jas stays stepping out into the clearing. "Some sort of clue..."
((lol, what Jas said made me think of something that Phoenix Wright would say. XP))
"Well don't forget that we're dealing with the Dead Men." Tanbar said. "...Didn't they have one of the gems or something?"
"Yes, the Crescent Gem." Harver said, inspecting the area as well, seeming interested. "However, they can't tap into its full power, since there's a bind on it. Only Solon can touch the gem, until he dies, that is."
Well...that would give those Dead Men a good reason to try and kill Solon... "So if only Solon can touch the gem..." Tanbar started. "Does that mean that they left it here since they couldn't touch it?"
"Not likely." Harver said. "They could still tap into some of the powers. The only reason they would leave the gem out would be for a trap."
"Oh...I see." Tanbar said. "Well...If they did leave it as a trap, what would we do? I mean we COULD try to take it but it might be a bit too risky."
"Hmm..." Harver thought for a few moments. He then sighed. "Now that's a question I don't have an answer to. What do you think, Solon?"
((Thanks for asking the guy who isn't online right now!...j/k XP))
Hm...you know, I wonder what Lanbar would do in a situation like this...I mean, he IS a pirate after all. He'd probably have some sort of plan...Like an even more elaborate trap to lay on the trap..."You know..." Tanbar started. "Maybe there's some way that we could...trick the Dead Men or something..."
Harver turned to face Tanbar. "That would be extremely difficult, more close to impossible, even. I think our best bet is to try to steal it from them, since they probably wouldn't leave it out as a trap. They know I have the Time Gem, so I could just steal it that way. What do you think, Solon?" He repeated, turning to their leader.

"It was on a chain," Solon explained. "The gem was on a chain, so they were able to pick it up by that. And as for the trap, they wouldn't relinquish something so hard to cling onto for a simple diversion. There are so many other things they could use for that."
((I'm going to have to update the front page... I think I neglected to give our new current location and I've got a new person to add. Glad someone new joined even with 100+ pages!))
Jas is still searching the place. "Something... darnit," she mumbles, starting to get agitated.
"What are you looking for?" Solon asked, walking away from the bush and into the center where the Dead Men had been. He looked around, but didn't notice anything unusual.
"Well...those guys sure clean up nice!" Tanbar said looking around. "Wait, I think I found something!" He picked up a suspicious rock but there was nothing important about it. "...nevermind."
"Something that'll hint at what they're up to," Jas says. "Where'd they go, something like that..."
((I was going to do another falling scene again, but don't worry, I held myself back this time :P))
Solon stretched out and leaned against a tree. He took the item he had bought earlier out of his pocket, shielding it with his hands and looking at it. "I don't think you guys should worry about the Dead Men right now," Solon finally said, repocketing the item. "When the time comes, the traitor will show themself, and then..." I'll give them a piece of my mind.
"I cut his stuff off and feed it to him," Jas says as if it were nothing.
((Wouldn't wanna be the traitor now. XD))
Solon gave Jas a look and and crossed his legs.
"Er, right..." Solon replied. "I'm tired, so I'm getting out of here. I'm tellin' yeah, you won't find anything." The way I say that makes me sound like the traitor... Solon realized. Eh, oh well. I'd like to see Jas try to cut my stuff off. Well actually, no I wouldn't. That would probably blind me for life.
"Why ya actin' guilty?" Jas traces the hilt of one of her blades with her finger.
Solon stopped in his tracks at the sight of Jas reaching for her blade. "Because, I am the traitor," Solon admitted, hanging his head. "The Dead Men asked me to kill myself because I am the traitor. I told you guys back on the boat I am, yet you continue look for hints. Look no further!" Solon's hand was hovered over his own blade, in case Jas tried anything she'd regret. I don't have time for this... I need to find out who the real traitor soon. I can't die until the Crescent Gem is back with the good guys...
Well...I guess that search was pretty fruitless. "Hm...I doubt that Solon is the traitor" He said. "Despite what my Brother said about you."
"Really? After what he said, I even thought I was the traitor. The trail could be easily traced to me," Solon replied, thinking. And yet I doubt the Dead Men did that on purpose... "I guess we could try looking farther into this cove for clues. They might have ventured deeper inside."
"Sounds like a plan to me." Tanbar said continuing down the cave.
"Feh," Jas is already ahead of them, impatience getting the best of her.
"No please, I insist you go first," Solon joked dryly as Jas was quick to be the first to go farther ahead. Solon followed farther behind, keeping a good look out for anything pecular.
Jas sighs and looks back. "I'm sorry..." She was really just tense at the moment, but she keeps going ahead anyways.
Harver followed Solon into the cove. They aren't suspecting it's you.
I think they do, though. They just wouldn't want me around when they talk about it.
Hmm...
((And so, poor Harver gets neutered. :P))
Jas lets her hand brush against the cave wall as she walks.
"...So...How long have we been walking down this cave?" Tanbar asked getting tired of walking. "It feels like it just goes on and on."
"Not too long," Solon replied curtly. I should have made everyone come along... The Dead Men could be planning the attack with the traitor as we walk in this cave... Solon thought with a sigh.
"...Did anybody bring a torch just in case it gets too dark as we go down the cave?" Tanbar asked. I wonder what my brother is doing on the ship now?
"No." Harver simply said. "You want me to go get one?"
"...Nah, I mean, the cave can't be THAT much deeper." Tanbar said. "Maybe the Dead Men even left a torch here!"
"I got that covered," Jas says looking back at Tanbar. 'I wonder if letting them come with was a bad idea...'
"Oh, okay. Good." Tanbar said. Whew, I was afraid they'd see my fear of the dark for a moment there...
((Bleh, g2g))
((Bye, w00t! 150th page!))
((Ergh. Summary please?))
Zarani awoke with a start. He was having such a wonderful nap in this cave, too. He yawned and stretched as he stood up. With the speed of a bird of prey, he came upon the group and unsheathed his cutlass. He grabbed one of the group and held the cutlass over their throat. Wonder who these people are... He held the person by the arm, standing ready to spill blood with his over hand at and second. "Oi, this is the territory of Captain Zarani. Leave now, or the-" He quickly looked at who he was holding. "-girl gets it. Understand, mates?" He glared around menacingly at them, hoping to scare them off. "This is why you don't go ahead of your crew, love." He whispered into her ear.
((Jas, Harver, Solon, and Tanbar have gone to the other side of Crescent Island in search of the Dead Men. Everyone else is on the boat. We've ventured into a cave and come across Captain Zarani, a pirate who has just captured Jas.))
Solon quickly unsheathed his sword, examining the foe. Solon could tell quickly from the clothes where this person was from. "You're from Scalus, what are you doing here in Crescent Island?" Solon asked him, holding his sword at a relaxed stance by his side to show he wasn't about to use it. "'Specially at the brink of war." Finally, I'm not the one with a sword to my throat in a life or death situation! Hm, being on the rescuerer end sure feels different.
((It's just one blade, right?))
Jas, not being the one to play damsel in distress, brings her elbow back to Zarani's face, then draws one of her own blades to knock the cutlass away from her throat. She quickly turns and moves back with the others as she sheathes her weapon, having no intention of using it on her attacker... yet.
((... Yes, yes it is.))
Zarani quickly recovered, and sheathed his cutlass as well. "Right idea, mate. Solve your problems with words." He said, lifting his hands to show he was unarmed at the moment. "I, like I said, am Captain Zarani." He said proudly. "And I'm here... Because the bloody dead men killed me crew. I managed to escape, but not much of a captain without a crew, eh?" He shrugged. "I wasn't too far from Crescent Island, so I swam here... I don't have much hope of reaching Scalus."
((... Was I right with the dead men thing? I have no idea...))
((Very good, actually! Yep, them Dead Men are a deadly group who are willing to do anything to get what they want.))
"That sucks," Solon commented, sheathing his sword as well. "Hm... I wonder why they attacked you, though." Unless they lost one of their gems and had information that this guy came across it...
"Oh, so you know about the Dead Men too, eh?" Tanbar said. "So...did you happen to know if any are in this cave?" He was hoping to get some answers out of this guy since he was already in the cave.
"Yes. I think they may be deeper in, though... I heard something about gems, savvy? Came here... And met you sore lot." He said.
"Gems," Jas looks at the others, then back at Zarani. "Anything else?"
Harver stood there, listening intently. Could this be the guy they were talking about...?
I don't think so, but be on the aware anyway.
"Not much else, mates. Sorry." He said, shaking his head.
"Well...thank you anyways." Tanbar said. "Okay...so let's get going on our way now." He started to walk deeper into the cave.
((I take a nap, wake up, and my dad makes me turn the computer off. >=( See you guys later))
Jas nods and walks by Tanbar.
"Oi mates. Where do you think you're going?" He said, stepping in front of them. "I came here to get this gem. Technically, it's my treasure. Savvy?"
"W-w-what?" Tanbar said thrown back by this. "But we've been looking for the gem for-..." That's right, I don't think it'd be a good idea to tell him too much about the gems "For...(erm...) for...a longer time than you!
"Your's?" Jas looks back. "You haven't found it," she proceeds deeper into the cave.
Solon let the others go ahead deeper into the cave. Once they had all headed in, Solon turned to Zanari.
"We have been searching long and hard for these gems," Solon explained. "Half of the gems belong to my crew, passed down through generations. I believe we have more of a right then you to search for them. But, if you wish to join my crew, I'd be more then willing to let you aboard." Solon held out a hand, allowing Zanari to turn the offer down or take it.
"Ah. But see, I'm a pirate mate. Pirates have more right to anything than anyone." He pointed out. "But yes, I'll join you..." He grabbed his hand and shook it. "You all need a proper captain anyways."
Solon narrowed his eyes. He may have never chosen to be captain, but he still didn't like anyone questioning his leadership. "Sorry, but I think that the fact that I own one of the gems myself, gives me more right then you. But, after we finish searching this cave, you can meet the other pirate of my crew. I'm sure you can relate more to him then me." With that, Solon led Zanari down through the tunnel, quick to catch up to the others who were farther up ahead.
"Hey, is this guy coming with us?" Tanbar said to Solon. Well...now we have another pirate with us...
Solon nodded his head and looked around the cave. "If the Dead Men had come here, wouldn't have Zarani seen or noticed them?"
"Well he did say earlier, 'I heard something about gems, savvy,'" He said trying his best to impersinate him. "WE never told him about the gems so he must have heard it from the Dead Men. Remember, he said that he was following them so I'm pretty confident that they're here."
((Who has the Scale gem right now?))
Harver frowned, listening.
Tch. More people means we have to take more precautions.
Don't worry.
"...Something troubling you?" Tanbar said to Harver.
"Huh?" Harver said, spacing out. "Oh- no, not really. I'm just a little interested in this new guy. He knows about the gems, and his crew was most likely killed by the Dead Men. This could lead to something."
"You mean like the Dead Mens' purpose in getting the gems?" Tanbar said. "...Or something like that."
"Yeah." Harver said. "But we'll still need a lot more information to know about their true motives." He sighed. "I guess we'll have to wait and see."
"Or maybe we maybe find them in here and learn their true motives..." He said with a pause. "...Okay, so maybe that's a bit too optomistic but hey, you never know!" Although...he is right. I don't think we'll ever be sure what their true motive is.
"I don't think they'd remain here after being seen." Harver said thoughtfully. "And since they killed Zanari's crew, I'm pretty sure that meant they were by the coastline. Meaning they were shipping out." Harver paused for a few moments to let Tanbar catch up. "I'm pretty sure they either went to Emit to learn more about the gems, or they went to Nimbuslus to question the prophets."
"So...which place should we go to?" Tanbar asked.
"Hmm... Let's ask Solon, after we're through with this cave." Harver said, after thinking for a minute.
'Why's he seem like he's in such a hurry to get out?' Jas looks back at Haver, but says nothing and shakes her head. 'Nah, that can't be it...'
((He's not in a hurry. =P))
Harver turned to Jas. "What?"
((I know, it's just Jas getting paranoid.))
Jas shakes her head, walking forward again. "It's nothing..."
Solon trailed far behind the others, anxious to get out of the cave. He didn't think they'd find anything there, and he needed to check up on his other crewmates. I knew who the traitor was earlier... I know I had it right. It just slipped my mind... What was the connection? Solon questioned himself, trying to re-trace his thoughts. It was after wondering why they call it a Hot Dog if it is made from a pig... But before leaving the ship...
((XD))
Harver nodded. "Ok, whatever you say..."
((Lulz at teh hot dog thing. XD))
Jas continues to search, but then sighs and looks back at the others after a few hours. "I'm sorry you guys..."
((Now you know what really goes on in my- I mean, Solon's mind!))
Solon was half asleep, leaning against the cave wall when he heard Jas. "Wha? Oh, yeah, I know they aren't real..." he mumbled with a yawn, then he remembered where they where. "Oh right! Ugh, it's nearing morning already. We spent the most of the night here. I suggest we get some sleep. Maybe we should stay in this cave in case the Dead Men try coming back? That way we can ambush them from here."
((:P))
Jas sits against a cave wall sighing. "Yeah, whatever," 'Nothing ever goes right...'
((I think someone asked who had the Scale gem before. And that'd be Solon. Harver has the Time Gem, Solon has the Scale Gem, and as far as we know, the Dead Men have the Crescent Gem and the Scalander Gem while Zaronn has the Cloud Gem.))
Thank god... Solon thought, already falling asleep again. "Good, good," he mumbled. "Everything'll look clearer in the morning..." he said, not really sure what he was replying to, only rambling on as he fell asleep.
Jas waits for the others to fall asleep before standing up. She leaves the cave, heading out on her own.
Harver creaked open an eye, seeing Jas walk out. He followed her quietly. "So, what's on your mind?"
"... This traitor thing," Jas says, stopping and looking back at Harver.
"Do you have any suspicions?" Harver asked boldly. You're being too cocky!
Relax. I trust Jas more than anyone here.
...The thing is, does she trust you?
"That, I'm not going to mention," Jas says. 'Why give my thoughts away when it can be anyone?'
"Ok." Harver said. "I respect your privacy there."
After an awkward silence, "Why are you out here?" Jas asks folding her arms to protect herself from the slight chill.
Solon woke up after a couple hours, finally getting some real sleep. His eyes weren't adjusted to the dark cave, but he could tell there was someone there that shouldn't be, because they were whispering urgently on the other side of the cave. Instead of giving himself away, he pretended to still be asleep, listening carefully to the words.
"We need to get this done fast," hissed a voice.
"No, what we need is to get this done right," the other person corrected. "It needs to look like someone from the inside did it."
"Why can't we just let the person from the inside do it?" the first person asked with a sigh.
"I told you, I don't trust him! If we can get this done now-"
"Then the Mage will get mad at us! You act as if going against his word will bring us status in the clan!"
When Solon realized what they were talking about, he began to inch his way away from them, and outside the cave.
"Can't sleep." Harver said. "All this stuff about the Dead Men... there's too much going on in my mind. I think that we should go back to the Land of Emit tomorrow to learn more about the Gems. There are tons of books in a library I used to go to; maybe there are some about the Gems."
Zarani prepared his Apache, aiming it around the corner. "Alright you bloody dead men..." He whispered. "Time to become your name."

Zarani hauled a large pack over the side of a nearby ship, laughing to himself silently. "Never trust a pirate, mate." He said, the two stolen gems in his hands. "Keep the one in the cave, mate. I've got more than you do now." He turned around and fired his Apache into the air. "Oy, mates. We've got some treasure! First mate Ravin, your plan was a brilliant success." He said, bowing to his first mate who came out of the ships hold with the rest of the crew.
Ooc\\ I hope this is okay... I just want him to be an anti-hero kind of character. I have no problems with getting rid of this if something is wrong with it... Which there probably is. He lies about the dead men, gets the gems, and his crew steals a ship. Pirate. ^^
((Wth? Harver always keeps the Time gem with him at all times... and he didn't sleep. He would have known. :P))

((Solon has the Scale Gem, Harver has the Time Gem, Zaronn has the Cloud Gem, and the Dead Men have the Crescent and Scalander Gems.))
((Editted.))
((OMG, Super Special Awesome plot twist! Keep in mind, however, that there are not a lot of people in the Dead Men's group. No more than about 20, and they are an elite group of people, supposedly lead by Lord Kerow. So each of the Dead Men have a name. At least, I think that's how it works. Birdie?))
((But, you could always try stealing them later on, now that you know where they are. And we only know about Sweeney, Gerodo, Steph, Heronn, the Mage, and Lord Kerow. There are probably others, but those are the Dead Men introduced to us.))
One of the Dead Men looked over at Zarani. He stood still for a few seconds before bursting out laughing. "Oy, Sweeney, looks like they got a new addition to them crew, they 'ave! What shall we do with 'im?"
"You can fight him, Heronn. I've got a certain someone else to deal with.," Sweeney replied, scanning the cave for someone else. Solon was walking towards the exit of the cave. But he stopped and turned around, deciding to not leave until he was sure Zarani didn't need help.
Harver heard something down the cave. "Did you hear that?" He asked Jas.
"Yeah, I did," Jas draws her twin blades, then runs back into the cave where she left the others.
Harver unsheathed his sword, following Jas.
Zarani slipped his fingers through the handle, putting it into a knuckle buster. With his right hand he drew his cutlass and swung both at Heronn. ((By the way, the knuckle buster is a brass knuckles the handle of the gun is made from... So yes.))
Heronn just smirked and moved his hand quickly across his face. A gush of wind rippled past him, blowing Zarani backwards. "Sorry, mate. But I like my personal space."
"Great... Heronn has wind controlling powers," Solon growled, noticing Harver and Jas coming back into the cave.
Zarani quickly regained his balance, and shot three bullets at Heronn. "Ah, you'll have plenty in the locker, savvy?"
With a strong blow, Heronn sent the bullets shooting back at Zarani. "The Dead Men don''t go in any lockers. We run freely and conquer."
Sweeney found Harver, Jas, and Solon. "Hmph, the traitor hasn't done his job, I see," Sweeney commented. "Good thing I'm here to do it myself!"
((O Shi-!))
Harver froze in his tracks. "What are you talking about?"
((Dead Men are kinda stupid since he was talkin' about Davy Jones' locker, meaning dead. XD))
Jas glances from Harver to Solon, then looks back at the Dead Men, her grip on her blades tightening.
((Erm... From what I gather, a new member of the Dead Men, Heronn, who can control wind has been introduced. Zarani made his appearance and is fighting Heronn while Sweeney is attacking Harver, Jas, and Solon.
I only skimmed, so did I get that about right?))
((Yep))
Jas looks back at Harver. It does make sense... Someone from their group supposed to kill Solon, and knowing that she wasn't involved with it... "Harver..."
Zarani sprinted at Heronn, his knuckle buster raised to hit him. With deadly agility he rolled past him right behind Sweeney and shot a bullet at the back of his head, then spun on his heels and fired another at Heronn.
Harver shot a glance at Jas. "What? I'm not the traitor!"
Why lie? It will only get you into more trouble.
But I can't let go of the one person I ever had a great time with!
...
"Don't give me that," Jas says shaking her head. "You were going to kill us? Here's your chance to try right here..."
"I'd never kill you!" Was Harver's honest answer, though he knew that he had been found out. Immediately after that, a large, black hole emerged from the side of the cave's wall. Out from it stepped Kerow.
"Harver. Come." He turned and walked back through the portal, expecting Harver to follow. Harver turned to Jas.
"I'll make things right. I promise." He handed her the ring he got from the jewlery shop the other day, and walked through the portal. Jas... The hole closed.
And so we go...
((If this was some sort of psycho, demented soap opera, than the screams of a million fan girls would've been heard at this point. "Harver, NOOOOOO!!!!" >_>))
Venice scanned the horizon for any sign of Harver, Solon, and Jas returning. They'd been gone for awhile and he was starting to get worried. His brow creased in impatience and frustration.
Trin, sitting nearby, noticed his expression and walked over.
"I'm sure they're fine," she said, to try and comfort him. He only nodded, unsure.
((XD))
Why does all this have to happen..?
Everything happens for a reason.
But it never could have happened, could it? It's impossible, it would have never worked out...
You're right, so we must move on.
Sometimes I can't tell if you're with me, or against me.
((Gotta love the soap-operay stuff. XD))
Jas stands there looking at the ring in the palm of her hand, then looks back up where the portal was. "Damnit..."
((Such deep thinking, Jas. Your boyfriend turns out to be a traitor to you and your friends and that's all you say?! Also, did Solon, Harver, and Jas say where they were going before they left? And what happened to Tanbar?))
((It's called dazed, shocked, speechless... And she never said anything about her feelings, so the boyfriend thing isn't legit. :P))
Jas closes her hand. "There's no going back on my promise to neuter the traitor, is there? Life goes on, guess we just gotta see what other poop ends up happening, don't we..." She got what she wanted to find from that place, answers, and starts running back to the town.
((You know that I'm right! Just because it wasn't declared outright does not mean that it's not true. Jas seems like the type of person that wouldn't admit it if she was in love. She wouldn't say it out loud, it being "too cliche" perhaps, or even outright ludicrous... I really have no clue what I just said...))
Trin knew that Venice was still worried. She thought about it for a minute before taking his hand and forcing him to follow her into the town.
My life is never going to be normal again, is it?
Harver...
I had never had as much fun in my life as I had with her. It wasn't until after our time together that I entered the service to the Dead Men. Because I wanted to save her...
((Flashback Time!!!))
The ship Harver collapsed on was swaying back and forth gently. Kerow - the man Harver had decapitated - stood above Harver. "You know you can't kill me. It is futile. I also know you love the girl, don't you? You'd do anything for her."
"I would..." Harver muttered through gritted teeth. Kerow chuckled.
"So be it."
I now wonder if it was worth the risk.
((XD T_L But yeah, we don't need a Final Fantasy X ending repeat))
Jas reaches her house, and climbs into her room from the window. After looking around and finding no one else home, she stumbles into the shower. "Lack of sleep caught up..."
Harver stepped out of the portal, and found himself in a dark room. It looked like a study. Across the room was Kerow. "Where are we?"
"Nimbuslus." Kerow said. "I've been researching and inquiring the prophets here. I now have everything I need to know about the gems." He smiled.
"What was that all about?" Harver asked, his thumb pointed over his shoulder and behind him. Kerow sighed.
"You were becoming too attached to your group, which is why I had to pull you apart." Harver looked down at his feet.
Zarani pulled the apache out and shot Jas in the foot. "Help is needed, love." He said, narrowly avoiding Heronn who was flinging wind at him. A blast came at him and hit him in the stomach, cutting a hole in him.
"Sleep Jas, sleep," Jas mumbles to herself after locking her bedroom door, and letting herself fall onto her bed. 'Gotta have some focus if I'm gonna look in the basement for this gem stuff...'
((She's already at her house. -_-))

((His bullet magically hit her in the shower? >_>))
Trin pulled Venice in the general direction that she had seen the others go.
"Where are you taking me?!" he asked as he was practically dragged onward.
She merely smiled in answer.

((She's already at her house. -_-))
((Oh... What about the Dead Men attacking the group?))
((Jas is already back at her house, you kinda can't shoot her foot now :P))
Solon wasn't as surprised as he thought when Harver revealed his true self. Solon had known somewhere in the back of his mind... After Kerow had disappeared, Heronn and Sweeney left as well. Heronn's last evil doing was his final attack on Zarani, before the two left. Solon walked over to Zarani to help him.
"You okay?" he asked, giving out a hand to help him up. He was almost ignoring the fact that Harver was the traitor... Pushing everything out of his head and focusing on the one small task at hand.
Trin finally stopped and let go of Venice. He was panting, but she merely grinned.
"What was that all about?" he asked.
"Easy," she replied. "They went this way, so it stands to reason that they'll come back."
Venice had to admit that her logic made sense and sat down to wait. She followed suit.
((Just... hmm, looks like BoA got it. Besides, why would you wanna shoot her in the foot? ;_;))
Jas lays where she is, looking at the ring she put on her desk. She has music playing from her stereo, trying to calm herself until she lets her heavy eyes close.
((Obviously to stop her from leaving.))

((Obviously to stop her from leaving.))
((Yes, to stop her from leaving so she'd help... But she won't be any help if she's shot in the foot.))
Kerow looked at Harver. "I need someone as strong as me to take over if I die. I want you, as you show the most promise out of all the other Dead Men." Harver nodded. "Therefore, I shall teach you all I know about the Dark Arts."
"Thank you, Lord Kerow." Harver said, slightly bowing. Kerow opened another portal, and motioned for Harver to enter. He did so.
"For now, you learn."
((The next time you hear about Harver and Kerow will be after the training. However, they have all the Time in the world, so don't be surprised if it comes soon.))
"Yeah, mate. Fine. Just need a bit of rum." He said, losing his balance and stumbling on the spot. "Maybe some grog, and-" His eyes shut and he fell onto his back on the ground, blood pouring from his stomach.
((g2g sleepy))
Jas falls into a deep sleep, dreams seeming much better than reality.
Solon swore under his breath. There wasn't anything to cover the bleeding, since it was a cave. Solon took his shirt off and wrapped it around the bleeding hole in Zarani's stomach. Then, he picked Zarani up and put him over his shoulder, running out of the cave and towards town as fast as he could.
Zarani's head bounced about as Solon ran, and his mouth opened and began to drool blood out as well.
"Nngh..." Jas wakes up with a headache. "The others..." She turns over, attempting to go back to sleep. 'I shouldn'tve left them like that... I'm just about as bad as the traitor...'
Tanbar was standing there in the cave thrown into awe from the fact that Harver was the traitor. Great...Not only do the Dead Men ahve a member of our crew, but now they got another gem...there's only two more that they need!...Speaking of gems...where's Zaronn and the Cloud Gem?
((@Shorti: Guilt tripping on Harver much? =P))
((Lulz wat? Noo... >.> <.< =P))
Jas lays where she is, staring at the ceiling.
Kai woke up on the ship "...... Damn, where is everyone"
Tanbar made it back to the ship and got on thinking about what just happened. "
So it was true, there was a traitor...but why Harver?" He said as he started talking to himself.
Kai saw Tanbar and walked over "Hey, wheres the others"
"Well...I don't really know for sure..." Tanbar said. "Although I'm pretty sure Solon and Zaroni got on the ship before me."
"What about Harver?"
"Oh Harver...right." Tanbar said looking down. "It's sort of hard to say this...But...He's the...traitor."
"Traitor, eh. Wonderful, I've been looking for reason to kill something a traitor will do"
...Is he serious? I just told him that one of our crew members is a traitor and he believes me right off the bat and wants to kill him without any hesitation! "So you're willing to kill him right now?" Tanbar said. "Even if he were to magically appear right next to you, you'd just kill him without any hesitation or regrets?"
"Maybe" Kai said camly.
Well he sure was quick to answer. "Okay...so that'd be it, you'd kill him." Tanbar said. "But there was something about him before he left us once and for all...It almost seemed as if he didn't want to betray us." Like Jas said before, "If you want to kill us, then here's your chance."...She was right but Harver didn't kill us...he also gave something to Jas...
"Like I said Maybe I'd kill him""
"Well...okay then..." He said walking down to his brother's room.
Kai stood up on the railing of the ship when he slipped and smashed his knee, breaking the rail.
He fell in the ocean, his knee was broken and his trusty falchion floated away.
Tanbar ran back up and looked at the rail. "Damn! He broke the SAME RAIL!" Tanbar said running over there and jumping in the water to get Kai.
((Are you swimming or sinking right now?))
((sinking)) "I think my knee is broken!" Kai Shouted to Tanbar
"Oh great! Just perfect!" Tanbar said sarcastically as he grabbed Kai and swam him to shore.
"Thanks" Kai said coughing up water.
"You welcome...So what did you do to break the rail AND your knee." Tanbar said. You know what...I think I'm just going to stop fixing that part of the rail.
"I fell, And now i need to make a new sword for myself"
Serves you right for breaking my rail! "Well...let's get back onto the ship." He said standing up.
Jas gets up, then turns off her stereo. After grabbing the ring from her dresser, she leaves the house and heads for the ship, figuring that maybe she can get her mind off some of this by sparring.
"Yeah" Kai said, sort of standing up.
"Well it looks like you won't be walking, or for that matter, fighting for a while." Tanbar said helping him get to the ship.
"Thanks again, and is there a black smithery on the ship?"
"Hey you two!" Jas walks up to them, and sees Kai's leg. "Damn... the one time I really need to spar..."
"Sorry, you're out of luck there." Tanbar said. "Oh, hey Jas...About that ri-..." No...I'll ask about the ring later. "Um...I mean, I'm sure that Lanbar would be willing to fight."
"I'd like to watch that" Kai laughed and suddenly stopped and fell over.
Solon sprinted as fast as he could through town, looking for a hospital of some sorts. Now I forget where everything in this darned town is! Solon thought with annoyance, spinning every which way. Finally, he just ran back onto the ship. He passed by Jas, Kai, and Tanbar, but barely saw them. He ran down into the cellar of the ship and searched for a first aid kit. I'm no doctor, how do I fix this!?
Lanbar turned around with wine bottles in his hands. "Um...this isn't what it looks like." He said but then forgot about it when he saw who Solon was carrying. "Who's the new guy?"
"You can watch," Jas says. "You ain't got nothin' else to do."
Quote from: Sh0rTi on January 13, 2008, 04:40:04 PM
"You can watch," Jas says. "You ain't got nothin' else to do." She looks at Lanbar. "New guy's a pirate that calls himself Zarani..."
((Wait a minute...Kai and
Lanbar are in two different places...Or did you just get confused with the names Lanbar and Tanbar?))
((I thought he was with everyone else. Sorry. *Goes to edit*))
"Give me some rum, now," Solon ordered Lanbar sharply, unwrapping the shirt he had used to stop the bleeding. Solon found the first aid kit and ripped it open, taking out the supplies he needed.
"But...what's a pirate without his rum?" Lanbar said clutching the bottle to his body. "You can use the vodka though. I heard it works miracles." He said giving Solon the vodka. "And as I asked before, who's the new guy?"
Zarani, a pirate like you," Solon answered quickly. Then he began taking a big gulp of the vodka. Then, he went on to clean the wound, which wasn't bleeding anymore. All of the blood was soaked on Solon's recently stolen shirt. What is with me and losing shirts!? Man, the man upstairs must like my pecks, Solon thought, grinning slightly. But then he shook his head and got back to helping Zarani.
"Zarani, eh?" Lanbar said. that sounds oddly familiar...oh well! Lanbar, seeing as his job as done, walked out of the cellar with the bottles still in hand.
Solon did all that he could to heal Zarani's wound. He took his blood soaked shirt and tried cleaning it off a bit before wrapping it around Zarani's wound again. Solon leaned against the side of the cellar, breathing deeply. He closed his eyes and took the item he had bought earlier out and held it in his hands. The rhythmic ticking noise it made calmed him slightly.
Kai grunted in pain.
Zaronn was hiding behind a barrel in the cellar. Now's my chance. Now's when I'm going to get back the Scale gem for my brother. He snuck up silently on Solon. C'mon, just grab it... He reached up to Solon's pocket and started to pull out the Scale Gem. Yes! I've got it! He took a firm grip in his hand took a step back and spoke. "It looks like the brilliant Zaronn has taken revenge against you!" He said triumphantly. "Today, Zaronn is victorious!"
Harver trudged back into the study through another portal; however, he had created this one. Kerow followed him, walking with more stature. Harver panted, and fell into a nearby chair. "Well... that was one helluva workout." He said. Kerow smiled.
"You have proved to be a great prospect. With you at my side, we shall destroy this pathetic world, and rebuild it for our own goals!"
"And the others," Harver said, "they won't be hurt, right?" Kerow only circled around Harver.
"You should get some rest. Tomorrow, we go to the Land of Emit." Harver drowsily nodded, and went out like a light on the chair. Kerow stepped closer, thinking of grabbing the gem there and then, but decided against it. Can't have him turning against me so soon... He walked out of the study.
Solon jumped back, quickly putting his item back into his pocket and took out his sword, pointing it at Zaronn. "Give that back!" Solon roared, not in the mood to be messed with right now.
"And why would I do that?" He said tossing the gem into the barrel, and when he did, Zaroff jumped out and grabbed the gem!
"Yes! Oh sweet gem, I missed you so much!" He said holding it close to him."
"Go on and get out of here." Zaronn said with a smirk. "I can handle this myself."
"Right-o!" He said running out of there.
Solon debated which of them to take on. Zaronn has the Cloud Gem, making it impossible to attack him... Then again, I can't leave Zarani alone, and Zaronn could easily get me back if I tried running after Zaroff. I should just hope that the others see Zaroff and get to him first, Solon decided. He swiped his sword at Zaronn and smirked, "Bring it on."
Kai crawled towards the ship because it was obious that no one was helping him.
Zaroff ran off the ship and ran past Kai. "So long suckers!" He said as he continued running until he got to his ship.
Zaronn drew his sword. "Well...It looks like you have no choice but to fight me."
Wake up!
Heuh..? Harver sat up, still tired. He had only been asleep for about five hours.
Two of the gems are being extremely active in the area where your 'friends' were! Harver felt a rush of adrenaline.
Zaroff and Zaronn?
I think so.
Kerow swore them to be our number one targets, so I should go get them, right?
Whatever you say. Harver jumped out of the chair, and created a portal.
Crescent Isle! He walked through the portal, preparing for his trip through space and time.
Kai grabbed zaroff's leg and wouldn't let go. "Where you going?"
"Away from here!" He said starting to use the power of the Scale gem to gain strength. He then picked up Kai and threw him at Tanbar.
"Eep!" He caught Kai trying to prevent him from breaking any more bones. "That was close."
Harver emerged in a thin alley, and ran out of it to find himself in the market place. He searched around before finding the docks, and Zaroff stopped by Kai. In Zaroff's hand was the Scale Gem. Perfect. Time! As time was frozen, he ran up to Zaroff, and snatched the gem. "Thank you very much." He ran back into the marketplace and rethought. Time! Time resumed.
Jas sees Zaroff, and runs after him "You picked the wrong time..." she growls, then realizes the gem's gone, and that something ran by into town. "Heh," Jas starts running into the town, after the blur that was Harver.
Zaronn felt that the power of the Scale gem was just moved somewhere. Oh great, I should have kept the gem myself. Zaronn ran out of the ship and sped ran in front of Harver. "And where do you think you're going?"
Harver turned around and saw Jas coming. He also saw Zaronn in front of him. Aw, crap! Time! He ran straight up to Jas and put the Scale Gem in her hands. Maybe this can show that I haven't lost faith. He ran back into the alleyway he had come out of. Time! Study, Nimbuslus! Another dark portal appeared in front of him, and he ran in, closing it behind him.
Jas stops when she sees Zaronn. 'Three person battle to the death? Fine...' When she blinks again, she... has the Scale Gem...? No time for questions if she's going to keep it. Jas draws her twin blades, pointing one at the remaining enemy.
"Get.. me. a cane" Kai said angrily to Tanbar
Zaronn looked around trying to find Harver. "Looks like the coward ran away! Oh well!" Zaroff caught up with the two in the alley way, he was followed by Lanbar.
"I- I'm sorry about loosing the gem." Zaroff said.
"It's alright for we have not lost our chance yet!" He said pointing to Jas. "She has the gem!"
Hey! That gave me an idea! "Jas, don't use the power of the gem yet!" Lanbar shouted.
Meanwhile...Tanbar obeyed Kai and got him a cane. "Sorry, but I got to go now and help my brother." He said running off.
Harver remerged in the study, and let out a sigh of relief. That was close... He looked at his hands. Such power... why do they use it to do such bad things?
That, I don't have an answer to.
Harver - tired again - slumped into the chair, and dozed off.
Jas glances back at Lanbar, then looks at her opponents. "Don't gotta worry about that..."
"Alright, time to show them whippersnappers who's boss" Kai Sort of ran to where the others went.
Zaronn took out his sword and looked at Jas. "Ready to dance now?"
Solon was furious for losing Zaronn. He glanced at Zarani, who seemed to be doing fine, before deciding to run after him. He ended up finding Jas, Lanbar, Kai, and Tanbar with Zaroff and Zaronn.
"Stop running away!" Solon scolded. "Let's finish this right here and now. You against me. Winner takes all."
"Heh, try me," Jas stays in her fighting stance, waiting for the right time to attack, when she hears Solon. "Damnit! Keep your mouth shut! This isn't the time to run around playing hero!" 'And it'd be stupid to think he'd keep his word!'
"Someone toss me the scale gem, so I can walk normal again" Kai shouted.
"Do you really want to challenge me?" Zaronn said to Solon. "Alright then, if I win, you give me the Scale gem. I loose, you get the Cloud gem."
Solon just smirked at her before turning back to Zaronn.
"You're gonna hate making that deal in a second," he warned Zaronn. Solon had so much anger inside him, he was ready to just rip the head off of the next guy he fought.
((Wait, what was my word?))
Kai sneaked up behind Zaronn and raised his cane over Zaron's head
"Are you sure about that?" Zaronn said grabbing the cane that Kai was going to hit him with. "Or is it you who's going to be regretting it?"
"Damn" Said Kai smiling,he punched Zaronn's back.
((I meant Zaronn keeping his word if they went with this challenge.))
'Why's it seem like everyone's so reckless today...?' Jas watches closely.
"Positive," Solon shot back. "The real question is, do you have the balls to stand up to me and try and win the Scale Gem? It'd be real sad if you lost with the power of the Cloud Gem to guide you."
Zaronn blocked the other fist with his sword. "I'm sorry, I thought I was fighting the other guy." He said smiling. "Or do you want ALL your bones broken?"
Jas smirks. 'I'm the one with the gem, and I'll be darned if I just hand it over... He'll have to fight me to get it...'
"Certaintly if you can't harm a Handi-cap You can't beat Solon" he said Swinging his cane at Zarrons face.

Jas smirks. 'I'm the one with the gem, and I'll be danged if I just hand it over... He'll have to fight me to get it...'
((lol, danged...I think the site changed your post. XP))
Zaronn grabbed the cane before it hit his face. "This is your last warning." He said. "You better tell him to stop before he dies." He said to Solon.
"I don't control Kai. He makes his own decisions. He's not some dog I can just call off," Solon shot back. "If he wants to take you on, I think he should."
((WTF!? Why'd it do that!?.))
"Just like I'm about to fight you..." Jas says...
"Well do you really want one of your crew members to die?" Zaronn said. "Because as leader, you should keep your crew members alive..." He continued. "And...on your side."
Ooc// w00t! Rank up!
Solon began calming down, enough to think clearly. I don't think Harver is going to do anything... He's just part of the Dead Men, but he won't harm me, Solon reasoned with himself. He'll know where the Dead Men are. And wiping them out is more important to me then finding these gems.
"I'm not their leader," Solon told Zaronn. "Not anymore, if I ever was." Then he began walking away from the scene, making his mind up.
'Now we're falling apart...' Jas turns and looks at Solon. "Don't you even think about runnin' out on us. Aren't we still a team..."
Zaronn saw his chance as he pushed Kai out of the way and ran up to Jas and put his sword to her neck. "No, go ahead and run. I'm sure she can handle herself." He said with a grin.
((HER neck... =P))
Jas pushes the sword away from her neck with her own blade, then slams her other elbow into Zaronn's side, and pulls on his shoulder and wrist while turning to fling him over her shoulder. "Damn right I can handle myself and a whole lot more..." She slides back. "Now stop wasting my time."
((Whoops, sorry.))
"Alright then." He said standing up and patting himself off. "No more fooling around." He started swinging at Jas quickly.
Great... I can't just leave in the middle of a battle... Solon thought with a sigh. "You better finish this battle fast!" he yelled to Jas. "I'm not waiting forever to make sure you don't kill yourself."
Jas blocks with her left blade, then stabs at his midsection with her right.
Zaronn quickly blocked the stab with his sword and threw a flurry of swings at Jas.
Jas blocks a few, but dives to her left, not caring that a part of her ninja suit was caught and torn, and slashes at her enemy's side.
Zaronn blocks the shot and turns so he's facing Jas. "Foolish little girl, you can not beat me." He once again started slashing furiously at her.
"Don't think you wanna bet on that," Jas rolls to get behind Zaronn, and lands on one knee. She spins on her knee, kicking at his back with the other foot before getting back up on both feet.
Zaronn runs behind her, quick as lightning. "Maybe I do." He said swinging at her back.
Jas turns around, just barely dodging the strike. She does a roundhouse kick to knock the sword away from her, then turns into a spin kick aimed at his jaw.
(Summary, por favor?))
Trin nd Venice went back to the ship.
Jas knocked the sword away but Zaronn kept his grip on it. He then jumped back to dodge the kick. "Alright, I suppose it's time to show you my true potential." His sword swings were hardly identifyable now and much more faster than before.
"That's it..." Solon mumbled. He took out his grappling hook and shot it at Zaronn. Hoping to either get his sword or tie him in the hook.
Zarani's eyes shot open. He spat blood out, and grabbed the vodka bottle from next to him without thinking. He took a large swig, and swallowed distastefully. "Ugh, that's not rum." He said. He stood up, and looked towards the first person he saw, Zaronn. He pulled the gun out and shot it at him. "You drank all the rum!" He said, firing again.
((Harver gave Jas the Scale Gem, Zaronn 's after it, fighting Jas, and Solon wants to run out on the group))
Jas keeps her cool, and rebounds off one of the alley walls to end up over Zaronn. She throws down one of her marbles, this one being a flash bomb meant to blind, and it explodes over his head, the whole area illuminated in a bright light for less than a second.
((I think Zarani was left on the ship to heal up... where everyone else is not at...))

((... Dammit, you people need to pay more attention. :P Post more specifics.))
Durring that short time of the flash, Zaronn ran behind Solon and started slashing at him with his blinding speed. "So you want to fight too."
Upon arriving on the ship, Venice and Trin noticed it seemed empty.
"Where did they run off to this time?!" wondered Venice out loud.

"Where did they run off to this time?!" wondered Venice out loud.
((They say I'm not there. Uh huh.))
"Grr..." Jas lands and sprints towards Zaronn while he's going after Solon, slashing at him.
Zaronn blocked the sword strikes and then retaliated with his own super-fast attacks.
Solon hadn't been expecting that, and felt one of the shots cut his left arm, while the rest either left a few scratches or missed entirely. Solon pulled out his sword, getting annoyed. "I've got better places to be then this!" he growled, stabbing at Zaronn.
Zaronn took out his second sword and hit the other sword away. "Face it, there is no hope for you two. I am invincible!"
Solon took out his grappling hook again and shot it at a market stand not too far off. A whole plank of wood came shooting back, going straight for Zaronn. Solon blocked any escape by jabbing his sword at Zaronn.
"No one's invincible," Jas seems to drop something in front of her, though what it is can't be seen. It's a near invisible tar-like substance, and it's starting to spread across the ground around Zaronn.
ooc/ Wait, so Zarani is on the boat?
Ooc// yes. And what did you just do, BoA? I'm confuzzled.
((I used my grappling hook to shoot at a plank of wood, and now it's flying right for you. And the tar stuff is sticky, which means it'll be keeping you from moving.))
((Well the tar hasn't touched me yet. >: D))
Zaronn jumped up and over the plank and landed behind Solon and slashed at him with his extreme speed.
Venice and Trin were about to head to their respective bunks when Trin noticed a wounded pirate.
"Who are you?" she asked. Venice came to her side.
Jas waits as the tar travels unnoticed, still spreading. 'Eventually... Just gotta stay alive and be patient...'
The plank ended up hitting Solon right in the face. He shook his head slowly for a second, before stumbling, falling over, and blacking out.
((Dang... I was trying to actually survive to see the entire battle for once...))
"Heh...heh...heh!" He said with a smile on his face. "Looks like it's over for you!" He said lifting his sword for one final strike. "You loose!" He swung his sword with all his strength at Solon's head.
"I'm captain Zarani, mates." He said, wiping some blood from his mouth.
"Idiot," Jas races in front of Solon, and starts pushing Zaronn's weapon back with her twin blades, using a bit of the Scale Gem's power to help push him back to where she knows the tar is at.
"Captain?" said Venice with an air of skepticism. "Last I checked, captains need crews."
Zarani scowled at Venice. "I 'ad a bloody crew until those Dead Men killed 'em." He said irritably.
Zaronn looked behind Jas and saw something that made him smile. He then knew he just had to hold out a little longer. He started swinging at Jas's blades with both of his blades to hold out. Zaroff was silently sneaking up on Jas and reaching into the pocket that had the Scale gem. He pulled it out and quickly retreated. "Yes! Finally. My power is back!" He said as his muscles started to show."
"Now you truely do have something to fear now." He said jumping up and landing next to Zaroff.
Solon blinked and jumped up. "Crap!" he shouted, rubbing his head. Ugh, I can't do this much longer... Solon thought angrily, watching Jas fight Zaronn. I should leave now while I've still got the chance... Solon decided, but then he saw Zaroff... Solon slipped by Zaroff as fast as possible and pickpocketed the gem back from him.
"Thanks!" Solon shouted, running off into the heart of town.
"A captain with no crew or ship is nothing," said Venice. Trin nodded in agreement.
((Jas doesn't have any pockets. It's a Taki/Sango-like outfit. The gem would be... on her front side... know what I mean? >.>))
((Okay, okay! We get it already! You don't have to go to the extremes to make your point :P <-- That was at TL. As for what Shorti said... Can't he just pickpocket the thing? I finally did something right, you can't tell me it was under false pretenses D:))
((Sometimes, I don't know about that. :P))
"Git." He mumbled quietly.
((She'd still notice because it's her front side... and wouldn't it look like he was trying to cop a feel? 0.0 Whatever, let's just continue.))
Zaronn ran infront of Solon and took the gem from him. "Thank YOU very much. And with that, I'm gone!" He said this and he grabbed Zaroff and he ran him and the gem back to his ship. "Well, we finally got it back. So lets go report back to the King."
"You mean the King of Scalus?" Zaroff said holding the Scale gem.
"Bo, I mean the King of Bel-Air- OF COURSE I MEAN THE KING OF SCAUS!" Zaronn said. "And so off we go!"
Meanwhile...
"Quick! Jas, Solon let's get back to the ship. We can catch them on the high seas!" Tanbar said.
"I'll run ahead and prepare the ship." Lanbar said running off.
((We've gotta stop this 'just snatch the jewel' stuff. XD))
"Right," Jas starts running back to the ship.
Venice smirked at the comment.
Solon heads into town anyways. Crescent Island was always big on news, hopefully he could find info on where the Dead Men were at the moment...
Tanbar looked at Solon and chased after him. "Wait where are you going? The ship is that way!" He said pointing the other way.
Jas shakes her head, "Forget it!" sick of trying to stop Solon. She continues on to the ship, waiting for their departure.
"I'll be back in a second... I need to check something out first," Solon told Tanbar, walking towards a news stand and taking a newspaper. He skimmed through it. "Perfect!" he exclaimed, ripping a page out of the paper before heading back to the ship. He hesitated a couple seconds, but hopped on. "Full speed ahead to Scalus... I guess."
"I've got a gun." He said simply, noticing the expression.
Jas is sitting against a railing, her eyes closed. "Ya know," she says to Solon. "If you didn't want to stick with us... you didn't have to..."
((g2g))
Tanbar hopped onto the ship. "Prepare the ship for Sca-"
"I already did!" Lanbar said.
"Oh...Well...Full speed ahead!" And with that, the ship shoved off and headed straight for the whirl current.
"As do I," he bluffed. Trin, who had so far remained silent, raised an eyebrow, for she knew this to be false. She thought for a moment before realizing what he meant.
((cya))
Solon walked over next to her and leaned against the railing. "I know," he replied. "But, I started this quest, didn't I? I wanted to help you get your jewel back. But then, all this other stuff happened... All of a sudden, I'm a marked man, and I'm just not ready to die yet. Going solo seemed so much easier, I wouldn't have to bring anyone down with me. But then I realized how lost and heart broken you'd all be if I left, so I decided to come along again." Solon finished with a joke, keeping the mood light.
Zarani's hand reached down and grabbed the end of the gun, but didn't pull it out. It remained hidden from view. "Oh, do you? Let's see it then." He said.
Harver's eyes shot open. Not again!
I'm tired of this!
"To show you would be to put myself at a disadvantage," said Venice. Trin withdrew to the shadows and drew her gun. She aimed at Zarani's leg, the gun peeking imperceptibly out of the darkness.
Zarani's eyes darted after her. "Mutiny is no good, crewman." He said roughly. Like a speeding bullet he was behind Venice with the cutlass to his neck and the apache pointed at Trin, both in the same hand. With the other hand he restrained Venice completely. "Now, lower your pretty little toy, or I'll do some real damage, love."
Trin lowered the gun. Venice did not bother struggling.
Harver stood up, and opened yet another portal on the wall. Ship, leaving Crescent Isle, belonging to Zaronn and Zaroff. He stepped through, preparing for what could await him.
"Excellent, mates. You pass. Welcome to my crew." He said, lowering both weapons, and letting go of Venice. "Now, the names of my crewmen are...?"
Kai walked over to railing. good thing we`re headed to scalus, a need a new sword he thought to himself.
Venice was about to argue, when Trin finally spoke up.
"He's Venice, I'm Trin," she said simply.

"Heh, true," Jas says grinning. "But you need us more than anything... with the way you're always getting hit upside the head."
Kai walked around the ship.

((I know it's Monday, but darnit, where is everyone!?))
Jas is sitting against a rail, scheming up a way to get the gems for her side. "I could.. they don't know what I look like without the gear..."
((Uh-oh, what's she gonna get them into. XP))

((Uh-oh, what's she gonna get them into. XP))
((I would but I'm not in yet))
((BoA doesn't really tell people if they can join or not. Just jump in...))
((Where are we @??))
((All of us are on the ship except for one. I wouldn't just randomly pop on board, but I think the ship's headed for Scalus.))
((thanks)) Lucas took a kyack(sp) ((Kyack???)) and sailed to Scalus. Soon he saw a ship. He quickly changed into Scalus soldier clothes and boarded by using his daggers to climb.
((Ok, they're not at Scalus yet. Why would you randomly pop on board when Shorti said not to? >_> You'd probably still be in Scalus.))
Suddenly he saw a figure.He walked over and said," Hello, soldier."
((Dang... I'm just kinda stupid today... I should've said that it was the group's private ship basically.... Buutt I can work with stuff...))
Jas looks up at the unknown person. "Why are you here..."
While everyone was elsewhere on the ship, Lanbar was down in Harver's room looking around.
Well, I'm sure he won't mind since he's a dirty traitor now. He came across a book under Harver's pillow.
Aha! so it's not just my brother that keeps a diary. He started flipping through the pages of the book skimming through the pages until he got to the last one.
I wonder what he has to say before he left, it probably talks about how he was so smart as to trick us and blah blah blah... He started reading the following
QuoteJournal 6.
I'm hoping for the best. Nothing good has come of what's been going on, and things just keep getting worse. I'm hoping that what I've decided to do will set everything right. And that means putting the trust of my crewmates down.
Lord Kerow (the leader of the Dead Men) has taken me under his wing, and believes that I shall surpass him if he dies. I'm not sure someone killing him is what he means, as that didn't work when I fought him. He must be growing old of age, and is at the end of his rope.
If anyone is reading this (that most likely means you, Lanbar),
"Wow, the guy really knows me." Lanbar said out loud with a little laugh.
Quotethen I hope you can understand what's going on. I know that you're probably angry at me, and you have every right to. But times have changed, and I know where my loyalty lies.
I hope that we do not meet on the battlefield, but if it comes to that, then I will have no choice. I only pray that at the end of all this, everything will end up all right.
My final journal,
~ Harver Rose.
Well...I guess the guy wasn't as bad as I thought after all. He put the book into a large pocket in his coat and went to his room. He locked the door behind him to make sure nobody else got in.
Well, whatever he is planning to "set everything right," I hope it works...somehow...
Harver's eyes shot open, as he saw Kerow rummaging around the study. "Good morning." Harver said, yawning.
"You ready to leave?" Kerow asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Harver said. Kerow opened up another portal, and they both stepped through it.
((Bleh, hate it when ppl just randomly leave))
Jas is sitting in the room she chose on the ship. "Perfect... just gotta tell the others..."
((You mean like how you do sometimes. :P))
Lanbar put the book in a safe place where nobody would ever find it. He then unlocked the door and walked out and randomly walked around the ship.
((Hey, I'm a very active member of various RP forums. :P Besides, I leave when nobody's around, then when I come back there's 20 new pages. XD))
Jas comes out of her room, and starts looking for the others so she can tell them what she came up with.
((Suuure you do. ::)))
Lanbar saw Jas walk out of the room. "Hey Jas."
"Hey," Jas waves a bit. "You seen the others? I have... a possible way of getting the gems from those two idiots."
"Nope, not at all." Lanbar said. "But you can tell me your plan...'Cause I got a nice little secret too, but if I do tell you, you must promise not to tell anybody else. Got it?"
"Aaah, secrets, secrets, secrets... More trouble," Jas sighs. "Fine, tell me."
"Okay then, but you are to never tell anybody else about this." He said leaning in to whisper what he had to say. "Well, I was snooping around in Harver's room and...I found his journal. And maybe we shouldn't loose all hope in him. He says something about making everything right, presumably making sure that the Dead Men don't get all the gems and rule over the world in tyranty. But remember, don't tell anyone about this. If anyone on the ship, or worse, The Dead Men found out about this, it could really put a hole in his plan!"
Ooc// I'm going to eat dinner, I'll be back in a few minutes.
Jas nods. "I won't tell anyone, believe me," she thinks for a few moments then says "Now then, my plan..."
((k))
"Alright then, let's hear it." Lanbar said in a more normal voice.
((And I'm back! :D))
"Okay, so far, force hasn't worked when it comes to Getting the gems from Zaronn and Zaroff, right?" Jas starts, folding her arms. "They don't know what I look like without the ninja gear. It wouldn't take much for me to oh say trick them..."
"I'm not entirely sure that would work on Zaronn since the Cloud Gem makes him smarter...or so he says." He said. "But I think it would definately work for Zaroff...Oh!" He said reaching into his pocket and pulling out what seemed to be the Scale Gem. "This here is a wooden replica I made in my spare time, I'm sure you could fool Zaroff with this."
Solon paced around in his room. The sooner we board land, the better, he thought anxiously. Jas may be right about me needing them... But I can't let that thought get to me. I was the top theif in my land for years, if I could do that without a problem, then I can do this. Solon smiled mischeiviously. It's time...
"Every female has her way of making guys stupid... no offense..." Jas takes the fake gem. "I got this, a certain mushroom and sake will get 'em. Just gotta find Solon, and tell him not so there's no misunderstandings..."
((Too much Samurai Champloo. XD))
Zarani walked over near the two, and spotted the wood. "Why a wood gem?" He asked, plucking it from their hand and looking at it in his own. "It looks faker than me first mates peg leg." He said, poking at it.
Jas snatches the gem back. "Because the person we're dealing with is ridiculously stupid, and when I get to him, he'll be more than tipsy, and even more stupid," she says, not mentioning that the mushroom-sake combination creates a deadly poison.
Hey! I thought I did good, and so did Solon. "Right, we ARE talking about Zaroff here so I don't see any problem with the gem." Lanbar said. "...So you're the new crew member...You seem...Familiar some how. Have I seen you on the high seas before?"
"What, are we having a beer party?" Solon asked, hearing the end of Jas's sentence. "Cause I could use a couple bottles of it right now..."
"That's because there is no problem with it," Jas puts the gem in the pocket of the jeans she changed into and looks at Solon. "No... but it's part of my plan to get those gems back..."
Zarani looked at her for a moment. "So, have any rum?" He asked her. He looked at Lanbar. "I, mate, am the infamous Captain Zarani!" He proclaimed.
"Drinking until we're all trippy and... dumb?" Solon asked, blinking. Not like I need to lose anymore brain cells, Solon realized to himself. "Hm... On second thought, I should cut back on beer..." Then again, not drinking won't bring back my lost brain cells... "No, no, no, I definitely want some beer." Solon then turned around and went into the cellar to search for some.
"Gah! Wait a minute and listen please!" Jas chases after Solon. "I mean that I'm going to at least trick Zaroff so I can get one of the gems."
"Zarani...that names sound just a bit too familiar to me for some reason...but I can't quite say what it is..." Lanbar said. "Of course, I was constantly getting drunk on the high seas so my memory is a bit blurry."
Zarani studied his face. "So, you have rum then?" He said.
Solon nodded, still searching for some beer. "Great," he replied. "How?"
"Well what's a pirate without his rum?" He said walking over to the cellar and grabbing two bottles of it and gave one to Zarani. "You know what they say, 'drink and be merry!'" And he took a nice gulp of the rum.
"Okay, basically," Jas stretches her arms. "Lead 'em on, slip 'em a one night mushroom and sake, then swipe the gem. I have my ways."
((Like this only less... like a ho'. XD http://youtube.com/watch?v=H8qJqH9GDIQ ))
Harver emerged from the portal in a study much like the one he had previously been in. "Where are we?"
"Scalus." Kerow said, also coming out of the portal, and closing it up.
"I thought you said we were going to Emit."
"Yes, well, I have a few matters to attend to here first." He said, turning around. "Stay here, and I'll be back soon." Harver nodded, and Kerow left the study. He sat down on a couch and looked up at the ceiling. He sighed. Alone again...
((g2g))
Jas heads back to her room to finalize her plan..
((For future reference, do any of you know when night will come?))
Harver continued to stare up at the ceiling, blankly. So bored.
I think Kerow might be hiding something from you. I mean, he wanted you to stay here, right.
I guess...
Maybe we should go to Emit really quickly. Harver nodded. Maybe...
((It was around 5 AM when you were announced as traitor...
I'd say it's about 12 hours later, so in about 5 more hours. Which means later on after we've reached Scalus.))
Solon began drinking some beer, thinking about Jas's plan. She might need back-up in case things don't go according to plan, he thought to himself, but he didn't act on the thought.
Zarani took the bottle, and took a large swig of it. "Take what you can, give nothing back!" He replied as he lowered the bottle.
'I'll need at least one person in each place I'm likely to go...' Jas looks at the outfit she has on he bed. "Don't know what'll happen," she shivers a bit.
Solon felt better after a drink, but he still needed to sort out his priorities. It's either the gems or the Dead Men... Solon thought to himself. You need to decide soon, because whatever choice you make you can't go back. Solon dropped the rest of the bottle onto the ground and went back up, making his decision.
((The ship in Scalus yet?))
((I dun think so))
Jas once again comes out of her room. 'Just can't be seen with them,' she starts going around the ship, once again in search of the others.
Kai walks around the ship until he finds Jas "What are ya looking for?"
((Thanks, Birdie. ;D))
((Anytime, man ;) And we're still on the boat, we haven't even reached the Whirl Channel yet.))
Solon walked up to the railing and looked out at the sea. The Whirl Channel was coming up in the distance. They would probably hit it in about 10 minutes or so... And I need to be ready, Solon realized. He was done getting hit on the head and passing out or falling into a ditch. He walked into his room, sword in hand, and locked the door. Time to practice!
((Everytime I come back from doing something important, you guys are gone! >.<))
"I was looking for everyone else," Jas says. "Before we get to Scalus, I have to make sure everyone knows what's going on."
((I'm here now D: Don't I count?))
((I'm here too now. :'())
((*Gasp* You guys! *Glomps* Can we start RPin' again?))
((Um...sure! ;D Also, I've been getting the first post of the new page lately now. >_>; ))
Lanbar was walking around the ship thinking about the journal from Harver while Tanbar was busy steering the ship and worrying about Harver's betrayal and the Dead Men.
((I refuse to RP, just to annoy you))
Solon continues sparring, hitting wooden chairs and upturning beds in his maniac process of sword fighting.
((Well, I refuse to RP anything eventful))
Lanbar heard the ruckus coming from Solon's room. I'm not entirely sure that this is a good idea but... He knocked his hand on the door. "Um...Solon...Is that you?"
"Yeah!" Solon called out, slashing a wooden desk in half with his sword. "Hm..." Solon thought outloud to himself, looking at the split desk, then back at his sword. He just shrugged and began slicing the desk into smaller bits.
"Um...okay then." Lanbar said wondering what Solon could possibly be doing.
Harver stood up from the chair, and faced the wall. Home... He placed his hand on the wall, waiting for the portal to appear as it normally would. He stared at it, confused. What's going on...? Home! He thought with more force this time. He felt his blood come up to his mouth, and it began to trickle down his chin.
You're working yourself too hard.
Emit, Lower-right quadrant. Harver pictured one of the alleyways he saw all the time when walking around. A portal appeared, but it was extremely blurry and fragile. Somethings wrong... He thought, stepping into the portal.
((siv nephew just HAD to call...))
Jas decides to go back to her room to change her clothes. "Can't believe I'm doing this... but whatever works," she mumbles. She comes back out dressed in a denim miniskirt, black tank top, and Baby Phat shoes. Perming her hair added a couple of inches to it, and she appears to be around twenty. Before she goes onto the deck, Jas takes a look in the mirror and says. "Gold-diggin' ho'..." Though to anyone else that would probably be just an exaggeration.
Tanbar picked up the intercom microphone. "We will soon be reaching the whirl channel. As stated before many times, please be prepared and hold onto something just for safety. This is your captain Tanbar signing off now."
Jas make sure she has all that she needs, then starts wandering around the ship.
Lanbar comes across Jas walking around. "Oh hey...I take it you're ready to infiltrate the ship." He said.
When Solon heard the intercom he stepped outside, done training. He saw Jas and wolf whistled. "Hey, who's the hottie?" he asked, jokingly, and walked over to her.
"The same one and only hottie that can beat someone's ass in an instant," Jas says looking back over her shoulder, a slight grin on her face. "Yeah, I'm ready to go."
"You know that wouldn't stop me," he told her with a grin. "I've got no boundaries." The Whirl Channel was rapidly coming into distance. They would probably hit it by the next post.
((lol, post))
"Hey, Solon, while Tanbar is fixing the rail, want to go cause a distraction to get Zaronn, the smarter one, away from the ship so the Scale gem becomes easy pickins?" Lanbar said to Solon.
((The next post? XD))
"No boundaries?" Jas asks. "I think constantly getting hit in the head and falling into holes is a boundary." She laughs slightly.
((It's a time frame, and it works, right :P ?))
Atleast someone trusts me enough to let me be a distraction for the smarter one, Solon thought, nodding along with Lanbar.
"And that's not a boundary," Solon explained to Jas. "It's just a hobby of mine."
"Better be careful, we wouldn't want that hobby to turn into an addiction." He said under his breath. His body swayed for a second as the boat got onto the whirl current.
"It's a hobby that creates boundaries," Jas moves some of her hair that was blown into her face away. "
"I am not addicted to getting hit in the head and falling into holes! Seriously, I quit that stuff the minute I walked onto this ship!" Solon explained. "You're looking at a new man. Someone who can fight and stand on two feet for a whole conver-" They were passing the Whirl Channel now, and Solon slipped and fell, but within the next few seconds it was done and they were right outside of Scalus. "...sation..."
"Well...That definately isn't true for THIS conversation." He said with a little laugh. "Now get up so we can go and distract Zaronn.
"You just completely contradicted yourself," Jas shakes her head, holding back laughs.
Zarani walked up over, the rum sloshing around in the bottle. "First mate Solon, what is our status!?!" He asked him, his breath slightly giving off the scent of alcohol.
"Okay, that was because of this board! See, this board I was standing on? It's all slipperly. You guys are just lucky I was the one standing there, to stop you guys from embarassing yourselves. You should be thanking me," Solon lied, standing back up. That is it! I'm putting spikes on the bottom of these shoes... Solon thought, thinking it was the only way to keep him standing upright for long periods of time.
Solon looked over at Zarani. "Glad to see you up and breathing!" he exclaimed. "We've landed at Scalus and are about to initiate plan Slutty Jas."
"Slutty?" Zarani said. He looked up and down Jas for a moment. "Excellent. Now, what has happened to my bloody stomach?" He said, poking at the bandage.
"Oh yeah, I'm going to need that shirt back once you're done with it..." Solon told him. "Actually, you can just keep it. I'll just buy a new one... again..." Solon stopped to think about what had happened to Zarani's stomach. "The Dead Men got you... Though I'm not sure how..."
Zarani shook his head. "I have no idea either." He said, lifting up the shirt and looking through the hole in his stomach with a face of disgust and disbelief.
"Oh so one minute I'm fine as hell, the next I'm a ho'?" Jas rolls her eyes. "Let's just get this over with."
"Alright then." Lanbar said heading towards the exit of the ship.
"A sexy hoe," Solon replied. "That's a good thing. I don't give compliments out lightly." He followed them off the ship, adding to Zarani, "I know it sounds strange, but I think wind cut through your skin... That's some pretty powerful wind..."
"A sexy hoe." He agreed, taking another swig of rum. "It's all for the greater good. And I'm sure you'll just make them stare rather than not realize who you are." He looked at Solon with his only eyebrow raised. "The wind? Bloody hell, we're all doomed."
"Well then, get to distracting," Jas makes sure she's out of view. "And watch your back..."
"Will do." He said jumping off the boat and heading into the same bar as before.
"Aye aye, love." He said, jumping off and following Lanbar.
"Good luck," Solon called after Jas before following Zarani and Lanbar. "We should split up posts," Solon strategized to them. "That way we can make it harder for him to follow us. Even with the Cloud gem!"
Harver emerged from the other end of the portal, and smoke filled his eyes. The hell?! He ran out of the alleyway to find the entire area on fire. He ran to where his house was and only saw a pile of rubble. He looked through it, but only saw pieces of wood, and what could have been his parents bodies. Everything was too mangled. Tears filled his eyes.
Harver continued to look through the wood, and found a slightly torn picture of him and his parents. He smiled slightly, frozen in the moment of thinking that his parents were right beside him, still alive. He was shook back into reality when he heard another house fall. He put the picture in his pocket, and opened up another portal. Harver...?
I'm just about at the end of my rope. Killing my parents was too far.
But Harver! You have no proof that it was the Dead Men! Sure, he left, saying he had to do something; but you must remember! Even if he did this, if you turn against him now, our plan is ruined.
Harver sighed. Ok. I'm angry. I'm sad. But most of all, I feel alone. More alone then I've ever been in my entire life.
Harver... He stepped through the portal, returning to the study.
Jas waits patiently for her sign to start her part of the plan.
((g2g))
((GASP! DRAMA!))
Lanbar stepped into the bar and everyone in there turned toward him and sort of stared at him for a moment. "Hey guys. Glad you remember me." He walked up to the bartender. "Well...I'd like the strongest thing you've got."
"Um...I'm sorry sir but I can't serve you." The bartender said.
((Please don't let the drama f'up Jas' plan... X.x Okay, now I g2g fo' real, but I'll try to dream up more trouble. :P))
((Don't worry, I think it will help the distraction more. ;) Oh, and bye.))
"What do you mean." Lanbar asked.
"Well...it's because of what happened last time..." The bartender said.
"I'm sorry, what did you say?" He said slipping him some extra money.
"Um...nothing, here's your drink sir." The bartender said giving him the drink.
Zarani came and sat down a ways away from Lanbar. "Two of the strongest you've got." He said, placing coins down on the counter. The bartender handed him the two bottles. He slid one down across the counter, slowing it down expertly in front of Lanbar.
"Hm...drinking two of Scalus's strongest drinks in one day." Lanbar said holding the drink he just bought and the one that Zarani slid him. "May hell be unleashed this day in Scalus." He said holding up his drinks and having a toast with himself.
((Now I have to go. XP Bye))
Kai got off the ship and headed to his blacksmithryas fast as he could with a broken leg.
((Oh, okay. Why won't Kai just sit his ass down? He's gonna end up walkin' around like House. XD))
Jas lets herself blend in with the rest of the people as best she can.
((Kai is not handi capped he is handi- capable)) He reached his black smithry and began working on a new sword, one that could be concelled in a cane.
((Uuuh-huh... :P))
While waiting, Jas takes note of possible escape routes, and places to go.
lanbar downed the two drinks in a matter of seconds and was stumblin' around trying to pick a fight with whoever he saw. "C'mon you -hic- cowards! I wanna fi-hic-fight!"
Zarani grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back. "No," He hissed in a whisper. "You'll blow it all..."
Kai looked down at his new sword and seathed it in it's new hiding spot, a cane.
He left the blacksmithry and headed back to the ship.
((Missed me? You don't even need to answer it. You're happy little faces say it all. You all know it, without me, your God, this topic wouldn't be here. I'm too pwnsome to not be missed.))
Solon smirked at Zarani and Lanbar. He didn't get a drink, but just chilled on the stool, waiting until they would need to start a distraction.
"Relax....-hic-" Lanbar said. "It'sss all part of the disstrac-hic-tion."
((You're right, I don't need to answer that...because you wouldn't like my answer. :P))

((lulz @ Org's response.))
((Dang, I hate losing xP But, you know you want this RP here. It's too good to pass up))
"Guys... We need a plan," Solon said to Lanbar and Zarani, though he wasn't expecting much of a constructive response from Lanbar.
"So now you -hic- wanna fight?" Lanbar putting up his fists. "This could be very dissstracting to Zaronn and hissss -hic- quessst to get the gemsss...-hic-"
((siv parents made me go to some incoming Freshman thing with my sister even though I already had a headache. Going to bed, night...))
Jas is sitting on a bench, can of pop in hand.
Harver slumped into the sofa, exhausted and overwhelmed. I don't know what to do... who could have done this, if it was not the Dead Men?
Most likely Scalus, as they were preparing for war, weren't they? Harver nodded.
You miss them? Harver showed a weak smile, remembering the earlier conversation of the like.
More than you know.
((BoA, your ego is showing. I hope you realize this would die if ShOrtI, LightningSword, Dr. Hobo2, Orgizirtee, and the other people who come here left. An RP is all well and good, but without people, it will fail.))

((I know, I'm just kidding xD. You'll come to learn I don't have an ego, just a constant need to say something funny or sarcastic. I actually may have stated before somewhere else how surprised I am that this is still going.))
Solon rolled his eyes at Lanbar. "We don't have time to be fighting eachother," he hissed. "We need to help out Jas or else her plan might not work."
"...What -hic- plan?" Lanbar said. "I thought we were jusssst going to go get dr-hic-drunk."
"Uh, yeah, that's exactly what we were doing..." Solon sighed, leaving the bar. So much for that... I thought he had an actual plan, Solon thought. Hm... Well, I'll just figure out where Zaronn and Zaroff are staying, and lead Zaronn out. Sounds simple enough, just hope Jas'll be ready when I do.
After Solon left the bar, a guy was punched out the door. "That'ssss what you get for insssulting my -hic- grandma!" He said.
"G-g-g-get away from me you madman!" The man said running away.
"Wi-hic-mp." Lanbar said.
Meanwhile...
A soldier came running up to Zaroff. "Sir! There's a drunkard at the bar!"
"...And what else is new?" Zaroff said looking at his massive muscles.
"It's the guy from last time he was here!" The soldier said.
"What!?" Zaroff said standing up."I'm gonna get Lanbar this tim-"
"No." Zaronn interupted. "I'll handle this one myself." He said walking off the boat.
"Um...okay." Zaroff said sitting back down.
Solon noticed Zaronn walking off the ship. Solon hid in the shadows, keeping himself hidden as he had done for years while stealing. Time to follow this ol' goat and see where he leads me... Solon thought with a smirk, following nimbly behind.
Zaronn aproached Lanbar who was still stumbling around mumbling unaudible words. "So...we meet again." He said.
"Who the -hic- hell are you!?" Lanbar said trying to keep his balance.
Jas is still standing around drinking her pop when she notices a commotion at the bar. 'Almost time...'
"So do ya wanna fight or -hic- what?" Lanbar said putting up his fists.
"...you have to be joking, right?" Zaronn said. "I thought this was going to be easy already but now this is nothing!"
Jas throws her empty pop can away, and starts heading to where she's supposed to be.
"You know, I'm not even going to fight you." Zaronn said. "My soldiers can take you on." He pressed a button on his walkie talkie that called some soldiers over.
"So...you don't wanna fight, you -hic- coward!" Lanbar said.
Jas is still surrounded by people, but not too far from her destination.
((I g2g now. T.T))
((Aww bye))
Solon followed Zaronn into the bar. Perfect job, Lanbar, Solon thought with his usual mischeivous grin. I wonder if he knows what he's doing or if this was all by accident, though... Solon stepped inside, ready to help Lanbar out.
"Hey, look who it is," Solon said, smirking at Zaronn. "Sure, you can send Lanbar into a fight with your Scalus soldiers," Which I know he can probably finish off easily, no matter how drunk he is. "But can you take me on?" Solon asked, readying his sword.
Harver opened his eyes, as he had heard commotion upstairs. He had been sleeping (even though it was midday, he was tired after going through all that), so he yawned. He walked out of the study and found some stairs. He walked up and emerged in a storage room of some kind. He walked out of that to find himself in a bar...
"Hey, what's going on up..." Harver's gaze turned to Zaronn, then to Lanbar, and finally to Solon. "...here?" Oh shi-!
Lanbar fell to the ground and then kicked at the back one of the soldier's legs making him kneel. Lanbar then proceeded to put his foot on the soldier's back and slam his face into the ground. "C'mon, still wanna -hic- fight?"
"So now you have come back to fight, eh?" Zaronn said taking out his sword and pointing it at Solon. "The truth is, I have yet to shown any of you my true power." He said with confidence and then he eyed Harver. What's he doing here?
((I take it this is Jas' chance to go on with Phase 2 of Jas the Ho'? XD))
Jas starts walking again, looking for the one holding the Scale Gem.
((NO! IT'S A TRAP! :O...j/k))
((You better have been kidding. >.> <.<))
((And if I wasn't?...DUN DUN DUNNNNN!!!...j/k...sereously.))
Zaroff was sitting in his large, comfy chair tossing the gem up and down out of boredom.
Solon just smirked at Zaronn and his sword, lightly pushing it away from his face. But then his gaze turned to Harver. "Come back to play, have you?" Solon asked him, side stepping Zaronn for a better view.
((If you wasn't I would've ripped your balls off and shoved 'em down your throat...
...
j/k =P Zaroff's on a ship, right? ))
Jas walks around somewhere near Zaroff, pretending to be lost.
Zaroff caught sight of her. Holy!...Look at the size of her...eyes!((XP)) There so big and prettyful and sparkly! "Well hello there little miss." He said getting up and walking over to her. "What are you doing here?"
((Oh geeze. XD))
"I'm lost," Jas says glancing up at him. "There was supposed to be a club somewhere over here..."
"Aw that's okay." Zaroff said confidentally. "Your with me, the mighty Zaroff!"
Harver prepared to turn around and make another portal, but he stopped. No, I'm not a coward. He simply looked at Solon. "No. I've just come for a little bit of research."
"Well theenn," Jas tilts her head to the side a bit. "Can this 'mighty Zaroff' show me where I'm supposed to go?"
"um...no." Zaroff said feeling very embarased now. "I...don't really know where this club is."
"It's okay," A smile slowly forms on her face. "All I needed was a couple of drinks," Jas knows that there's no nightclub. "Could you take me somewhere with that?"
"Why, sure." Zaroff said. "And maybe afterwards..." He smiled a bit after saying that.
"Hmmmm, tell me exactly what you had in mind," Jas plays along.
Zarani drew his apache and cutlass, and stepped out of the bar. "So, who's to taste the steel and lead of Captain Zarani!?!" He said, stumbling a bit.
At first, Solon just wanted to attack Harver, but he didn't. A slight smile formed on his face. "Research on what exactly? The Dead Men aren't still hung up on killing me, are they?" Solon asked with an exaggerated yawn. "Because I hoped they'd send more of a challenge then you to be the end of me."
Harver smiled back at Solon. "No. The Dead Men are currently more intent on their personal goals at the moment. And don't you have a fight to get to?"
"This ol' lump?" Solon pointed lazily at Zaronn. "I could take him on with both eyes closed and no weapons. Right now, I want to know more about the Dead Men, and you are the person with that information, right? Nobody here thinks you are really working with the Dead Men, but what I want to know is... Can you relay any information?"
"I believe that Harver here is right." Zaronn said. "We still have our fight and he has no right to give you any information on the Dead Men."
Lanbar continued to knock out the other soldiers with ease. "Isss that all you -hic- got?" Lanbar said standing up.
Meanwhile...
"Well...you know." Zaroff said with a bigger smile. "You...me...and somewhere private."
"If you want to learn more about Dead Men..." Harver said, turning around and creating a portal on the wall. "...investigate. You have the question; now find the answer." He walked through the portal, and it closed behind him.
Jas starts slowly walking towards the town. "I'm sure we can get to that after a couple of drinks..."
((Yeah, just don't let Harver find Jas and mess up the plan. XD))
"Alright then." Zaroff said following Jas.
Solon rolled his eyes at Harver's response. I'll let the others investigate... Or just wait until it comes together on its own, Solon decided. He turned back to Zaronn. "Let's get this fight over with. I've got so much more important things to do," Solon told Zaronn in a mocking voice to help egg him on.
Jas is looking around. "I still don't know where exactly to go," she pouts a little, adding to the sexiness.
((g2g))
"Alright" Kai stood up and headed towards the bar for no reason.
"You really think taunting me will work like it does with my idiot brother?" Zaronn said smirking. "But lets face it, you can't beat me."
((And Hobo forgets about my post. *Cues sad look*
Kai filps the cane around and pushes the bar door open then walks in silently.
((...oops...DX))
"Don't worry, everything will be okay." Zaroff said boldly. "I know this one place...but..."
"But what?" Jas looks back over her shoulder.
((Zaronn is in the bar right?))
((Yes))
"There's this wild drunkard at the bar but...my brother can take care of him." Zaroff said.
Kai spotted Zarron and raised his new metal cane "Hey poop head remeber me" he said swinging the cane at Zarron's face.
Zaronn caught the cane with his other hand. "Sadly, yes." He swung his sword at Kai.
"Couldn't we go some place where we wouldn't be..." Jas pauses. "Interrupted?"
"Well...there are my private quarters on my ship." Zaroff said.
Kai pulled the cane down and blocked with it, he then quickly drew the sword and put the cane at his side and stabbed foward.
Zaronn easily jumped out of the way and swung again at Kai's foot.
"Even better," Jas says. "Lead the way."
"Alright then." He said turning around and heading back to the ship.
Jas follows after. 'This needs to end...'
Zaroff entered his private quarters and got out some drinks. "Champaign?" He said offering her a glass.
"Gladly," Jas takes the glass, but doesn't drink yet. 'Just gotta wait till he leaves to do something...'
"Oh wait!" Zaroff said turning around. "I think I dropped something. I'll be right back." He ran off but his Scale gem dropped out of his pocket as he ran out of the room. "I'll be right back!" He shouted as he continued to run off.
Jas slips some ground up mushroom into Zaroff's glass. It instantly dissolves, turning into a poison that doesn't alter the taste of the liquor. She picks up the gem, and hides it on her.
Zaroff runs back into the room panting. "Okay...So maybe I didn't drop anything...Now where were we?"
"We were going to have us a drink," Jas raises her glass a bit.
"Oh right." He said picking up the glass. "Cheers!" He said downing the whole drink. "...I...feel sorta...woozy." He fell to the ground, unconsious.
Zarani stood, watching everyone fight. He pulled out his apache and fired it into the air. "HEY YOU GITS!!!" He yelled. "I SAID, WHO WANTS TO FIGHT ME!!?!?!?!?!" He dropped the bottle of alcohol and sprinted at Zaronn.
Zaronn turns to Zarani. He put out his sword getting ready to attack.
He shot the apache then fell upon him with the cutlass. "'Ello, mate." He said, swinging the sword with expertise.
Zaronn quickly blocked all the shots from Zarani. "Oh come on, is that all you've got?"
Zarani shook his head as he slid under Zaronn and hacked at his legs. "Of course not, mate. Just giving a proper greeting is all."
Zaronn jumped up to dodge the attack and aimed to land on Zarani as he came down.
((Be back later, I have to go.))
Solon shook his head as everyone seemed to take Zaronn on.
"Hm, going as low as to fight a drunk and a handicapped? Guess you can't handle a perfectly healthy person," Solon sighed, shaking his head and smirking. "Even with the Cloud Gem you are weak."

"Oh right." He said picking up the glass. "Cheers!" He said downing the whole drink. "...I...feel sorta...woozy." He fell to the ground, unconsious.
'Outta here before something goes wrong...' Jas covers the powerful aura of the gem, then disappears in a cloud of smoke to reappear in her own room on her team's ship... taking the glass of champagne with her as a souvenir.
"I'm sorry but that statement is incorrect." He said running behind Solon and slicing at his back a multitude of times. "They were the one's who attacked me. It was just personal defence."
Solon jumped away from the sword as it cut into his back. He winced slightly but kept his smirk. "Attacking from behind? Don't know the rules, do you?" Solon asked him, gripping his sword. Crap, I don't think I'll be able to take this guy on... Solon thought, though he didn't show any worry on his face. "Bring it on."
Jas finishes off the champagne in the glass she took, then lays back. "I hope the others are alright..."
"Do you really think that I care about that?" He said rushing forward with another flurry of attacks. "And I think I will 'bring it on'"

Solon jumped away from the sword as it cut into his back. He winced slightly but kept his smirk. "Attacking from behind? Don't know the rules, do you?" Solon asked him, gripping his sword. Crap, I don't think I'll be able to take this guy on... Solon thought, though he didn't show any worry on his face. "Bring it on."
((That's Harver's line from, like, 100 pages ago! XP))
Harver emerged from the portal back in the study below the bar. "I hope they will overthink things." He said to himself, sighing.
((Would you guys like me to list off Harver's abilities, now that he's been trained by Kerow?))
((I know, I remembered it xD. And sure, go ahead and list the abilites. I'm curious now that you mention it))
"I didn't think you would..." Solon sighed, trying to figure out where Zaronn was coming from. He could only see a blur moving all around him, and he felt the sword cut into his skin all over. Nothing went too deep in, but it stung like a paper cut. Solon started swirling all around with his sword, Link-style, trying to keep Zaronn off of him.
((OH NOEZ! My G-modding senses are tingling! :O...j/k XD))
Zaronn jumped back from the attack and waited for him to stop spinning.
((He's gonna get dizzy and fall out. XD))
Jas sits on the bed, blasting music, having no choice but to wait for the others' return.
((Solon: Gyaaah! (Link style. XP)
Here are his new abilities:
Portal creating (OMG! HUGE SURPRIZORZ!!!)
He can shapeshift into one thing (TBA)
..and that's it, I do believe. His new abilities can wear him out, though. He can't make portals and shapeshift that often, since it would kill him. Also, his swordsmanship is better than before.))
((Now the Spider Man theme song is stuck in mah head D=. Well, I guess that's a good thing. That elevator music was getting kind of old.))
Solon stopped spinning, but he felt extremely dizzy. Solon took a few steps in a circular motion before regaining balance. "Hey, I didn't fall!" Solon exclaimed, proud of himself. But then he realized that Zaronn didn't know about Solon's balance issues. "Er, I mean, I didn't get invited to the ball! Wow, that sucks..." Solon corrected himself, noticing a flier that talked about a ball in the bar.
((- I want to shapeshift... I should take some lessons from Kerow, too.
- Ha, looks like you don't know me all that well. I didn't fall! I told you I was over that!))
"...Okay..." Zaronn said a bit confused. But then he resumed attack but this time, he only attacked from the front but still with the extreme speed.
((LMAO!! Solon's so random. XP))
Harver became anxious. I can't be too careful... but I shouldn't create another portal for at least another few minutes... I guess I'll just have to wait.
Solon jumped back from Zaronn's attacks. But, Solon realized another downfall of his immense speed... It would take longer for him to stop. So while Zaronn was still slashing, Solon jumped forward and slashed at Zaronn's side before jumping away again. Zaronn's sword left a gash on his cheek. Solon shook his head and thought, I better be more careful... He almost took out my eye.
Zarani pressed the apache against the back of Zaronn's head. "'Ello mate. Didn't forget about me, did you sunshine?" His finger twitched. "Oh, look. You lose." He said, his voice suddenly becoming cold. He pressed in the trigger.
((Err... G-Modding much, Orgizirtee? You never told us Zarani was going behind Zaronn.))
((Oh well. :P))
Zaronn used his free hand to grab his sword and blocked Solon's attack. He then ducked forward to dodge the bullet. "Face it, I'm untouchable. You can never defeat me!" He slashed at Zarani with both blades with his speed.

((Uhh, not paying attention much, Sparky? He slid under him... As in, behind him. Pay attention.))
((...No one calls me Sparky. EVER. Anyway, sorry.))
Jas starts walking back and forth across the room. "Come on darnit..."
Harver felt his strength coming back to him. He smiled, and opened a portal. Let's see what's outside...
Jas sighs and sits back down. 'Can't go back out and risk losing the gem...' "Guess I gotta trust them..."
Harver emerged in a dark alleyway ((creepy!!)). He looked around and saw that the sun was preparing to set. About 5:30, I presume... Perfect. It'll be dark soon enough. Guess I'll wait about fifteen minutes.
((Shouldn't Harver be sneaking off to see Jas even though he knows darn well he's not supposed to? :P j/k just me being silly.))
Jas sits there, looking at the gem she took.
((=P Anyway, I'm waiting for a few more posts, so I can proceed with Harver's Harverness.))
((But that's gonna take forever. X.x))
Jas is sitting in a chair, trying to calm down by listening to her slow jams , but she knows she's not going to relax until she knows the others are okay.
((It doesn't matter. I can wait. =P As long as I don't miss night time in the RP. It's crucial. I can't wait another 50 pages for night to come. XP))
((I'm tempted to time skip and make it night... going on RP withdrawal here! >.<))

((You can't time skip when there's a fight going on, silly. :P))
((I'll... make a time paradox! >.>))
((...How about no? <.<))
((Aw...but that's what this RP needs!...anyways...))
Tanbar just finished re-re-re-repairing the railing to the ship and went down and walked around the rooms of the ship.
((*sigh* Fine.))
Harver saw that the sun had just set, so he got ready to leave the alley.
Jas is still curled up in a chair, music still blasting.
~* Music: http://profile.imeem.com/v4d-cS/playlist/TweVH3Cf/rnb_music_playlist/ *~
Tanbar heard music coming from Jas's room. Huh? I thought she left with the others.
Jas hides the gem in her shirt before getting up to dance.
*Edit: Apparently my dumb ass can't spell...
((In her what!? O.o))
((Apparently my dumb ass can't spell... Edited))
The bullet flew past Zaronn and hit Solon in the shoulder. He jumped back and clutched his left arm, surprised by the shot. ...Didn't see that one coming... Solon thought through gritted teeth. Zaronn's right... We can't defeat him. Solon looked at his hand that had been holding his shoulder, it was covered in blood. I can't retreat now...
"Let's finish this," Solon growled, ignoring the pain in his shoulder as he readied himself again.
An owl flew from the alleyway and into the night sky. It had grey fur with red streaks occasionally spread throughout. The owl flew up high and scanned the city.
Jas continues her dancing, forgetting what happened, and what's going on for the moment.
"Let's, mate." He said, returning to usual. He swiped down with the cutlass and also at the back of Zaronn's neck with the knuckle buster.
Trin leaned against one of the railings as Venice went to his bunk. Unfortunately, Trin was leaning against the part of the railing that Tanbar had just re-re-re-repaired. She fell into the ocean with a resounding splash. Venice heard the splash and ran outside. He immediately noticed the broken rail and walked over to it. Once there, he saw Trin treading water down below.
"Tanbar's gonna kill you," he said. Trin grimaced and swam back to the boat.
The owl came down on the ship and perched on the railing next to the railing that had just fallen off.
Both Venice and a rather soaked Trin noticed the owl. Neither of them thought it suspicious or anything ((::))) and Trin went to get a towel. Meanwhile, Venice went to his bunk and was soon asleep.
Jas starts singing along to the song playing.
"If I had no more time
No more time left to be here
Would you cherish what we had?
Was it everything that you were looking for?
If I couldn't feel your touch
And no longer were you with me
I'd be wishing you were here
To be everything that I'd be looking for
I don't wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
'Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed..."
The owl looked at the two people, curiously.
Venice thought he was being watched and turned to stare at the owl. His hand hovered over his knife, as a precaution.
((Hmm... teh mysterious owl))
Jas pauses the music, and steps out of her room.
The owl cocked his head to one side, and slightly fluttered its wings.
Jas looks around, the stillness only annoying her further. "Something... can't be right..."
Venice was starting to get a little creeped out. He went closer, coming close enough to touch.
The owl simply stared back at Venice. Before he was able to go any further, however, the owl looked up at the sky. He turned around and flew away, gliding slightly above the ocean's water.
((g2g Tae Kwon Do in the mornin'. Night!))
Jas runs back into her room, unpauses the stereo, and sits back in the chair.
Venice watched the owl for a moment before sitting down to ponder its appearance.
((What time is it in the RP?))
((Around 6 - 6:30 PM. Harver's true motives will soon become clear... as soon as Orgizirtee, Birdie, and Dr.Hobo finish their fight. XP))
((So basically, everything will be frozen till they get back... "Tune in tomorrow for another exciting segment of Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets!"))
((XDDDD Win. Anyway, what song(s) do you think fits this RP? Whenever I listen to certain songs, I can see clips from the RP play in my mind, such as the very beginning when Jas is getting chased, and when the gang is looking for Tanbar.))
((Once, I was listening to random songs on the radio. When an R&B song came on, I was reminded of when Jas said she was gonna neuter a certain traitor. *cough*Harver*cough*))
((-.-;; The songs that make me think of this RP are mainly Link and Jiyuu eno shoutai; both by L'Arc~en~Ciel. If you haven't heard of them, they're a Japanese rock band. They're awesome. ;D))
((I should look them up on Youtube in the morning... What would Harver do if Jas literally neutered him? Other than squirm in pain, I mean.))
((...I'm not really sure. Harver has too much on his mind at the moment. Would you be worrying about death by a friend if your family and hometown just got burned to the ground?))
((R&B makes you think of someone being neutered? T_L? What song was it? 0.o And even if Harver's hometown got burned down, being neutered has to affect him somehow... besides hopes of a honeymoon being gone... XD))
((-_-;; Harver doesn't know of Jas's intentions, I think.))
((Dunno if she even will now. :P))
((I'm not really sure what the song was called. All I know is that it brought a disturbing image of Jas saying she was going to neuter the traitor. But that was before she knew it was Harver.))
((Interesting imagination you got there. O_o So, have you checked out the two songs yet?
Btw, nice sig.))
((Very interesting imagination considering that R&B is romantic and not violent... 0.o))
((Haven't checked the songs yet. And you aren't the first people to tell me I have an "interesting" imagination. ::)
EDIT: Just listened to 'em on Youtube and they're pretty good!))
((RP's dead today... =())
Jas sits in a chair, reading a large book she brought from home. "If I can just learn some of this..."
((Sorry I wasn't here today, I went to go skiing...or, to be exact, horribly fail at trying to ski. T.T))
Tanbar walked up to the deck and just stared for a moment at the broken rail. "...*insert flurry of curse words here*" He stormed back down still shouting and cursing and went into his room to vent off some anger.
((At least you got to be outside... it's too cold here to do that..))
Jas looks outside her door after hearing all the cussing. "Geeze, he's more of a potty mouth than me..."
((lulz...))
Tanbar walked out of his room carrying some wood and nails presumably to re-re-re-re-rebuild the rails. He continued to grumble under his breath as he walked out.
((I think this'll be the birth of a new fad that DOESN'T involve Solon hurting himself...most of the time. XD))
((XD))
"Probably shouldn't ask about it," Jas goes back into her room, and continues reading.
((Solon hasn't hurt himself in forever D=. I think the curse has been broken :O ))
Solon slashed at Zaronn, his attacks uneven because of the dead weight of his left arm. "If you're so good, finish this already!" Solon yelled at Zaronn, getting impatient.
"Well if you're so willing to DIE." He said dodging the feeble attempt of an attack. "Then I'll be happy to end this." He drew his other sword and attacked Solon now with twice the fury from before.
Trin walked out on the deck, and seeing Tanbar, walked back to her room. She didn't want to get yelled at, lectured, or whatever Tanbar would do.
Zarani quickly did a pivot around Zaronn, getting just enough around to block his attacks with his cutlass. "Solon... Hurry up and kill 'im!" He grunted.
The owl continued to fly until he saw a nice tree. He flew over to it and perched on its lowest branch. Immediately it changed to Harver, who lost his balance end fell. "Crap..." He muttered, rubbing his head. So I can only stay like that for about half an hour... He looked up at the moon. Guess I'll have to try plan B... and that requires waiting for it to be darker. He sat under the tree and began to sleep.
Solon felt the swords scrape his sides. He winced slightly but slashed a more powerful diagonal slice at Zaronn, using his weight difference as an advantage. Solon was breathing heavily now, he wasn't sure how much more he could take. But he was sure that atleast one shot had to hit Zaronn... That diagonal slice was perfect, it should do the trick, Solon thought, not being able to see much of the blur that was Zaronn.
Zaronn barely dodged Solon's attack and jumped back. I got to be a bit more careful. That could have hit me.
"Fire, Thunder, Blizzard, Water... I can learn these, then go from there," Jas sets the book on her desk and stands up. "Something to channel it through," she draws her twin blades, then looks around for a target. After she spots a water bottle, she focuses in on it, imagining it in flames, and the heat of fire. 'Burn, burn, burn...' In seconds, Jas can feel her hands grow warm along with her blades. "Burn... FIRE!" She raises her right, then swings it down, the empty water bottle becomes engulfed in a ball of fire, and melted into nothing.
Kai tapped Zaronn on the shoulder "Hey I'm still here"
Zaronn turned around. "Yes...I know that." He said as he started slicing at Kai.
Kai Blocked each one " heh, that's all you got? My turn" He sliced twice at Zaronn's arms
((The Never-ending fight of DOOM that's filled with lolz))
Jas looks at the charred bottle, then readies another spell to use on it.
"No, not at all." He said blocking the two attacks with ease. He then unleashed a flury of attacks and could only be seen as a blur.
((I sort of agree with Shorti - mainly on the "never-ending fight" part. Everyone keeps on blocking and attacking and dodging and attacking etc. This hinders the story from progressing.))
Kai dodged most of them except for one, which left a little cut on his arm. " alright,hold still... This will hurt a lot" Kai Swung his sword with all of his strengh at Zaronn's Right arm.
((Alright, I'll get the story on with.))
Zaronn jumped out of the way but he was barely grazed by the sword. Damn! I've been hit. How could I get so careless. "Well...You got lucky this time." Zaronn said holding his arm and heading toward the exit. "You won't be so fortunate next time!" He then started running away at a normal speed toward his ship and some soldiers jumped into the bar to block the doorway.
"Whaddayassss think you -hic- guyssss are doing?" Lanbar said jumping up to the guards. "You're letting him get -hic- away!"
"There won't be next time Wimp!" Kai Shouted in victory.
Lanbar tried to push the guards out of the way but they pushed him back. "So...that'ssss -hic- how you wanna play." He then gave a kick to one of the guard's head knocking him down. "C'mon, I can take you guysss."
Kai Seathed his sword in cane and turned to Lanbar " Idiot it's time to go back to the ship"
"Huh?...Oh -hic- right." He said stumbling over to Kai. "I forgot...where'd we park the sssship?"
" Just Follow me" Kai speed walked to the ship.
"Well, al-hic-right." He said following after Kai almost tripping over himself multiple times.
"You should try Milk... It doesn't make you drunk" Kai said while walking onto the ship.
"Milk...never heard of the -hic- stuff." he said stumbling onto the ship and fell straight for the re-re-re-re-re-rebuilt rails.
"Oh no you don't!" Tanbar said grabbing Lanbar before he could even touch the rails. "Not this time." He swung Lanbar back around the oposite way. "Whew...That was a close one."
"Afraid he was gonna do this' Kai said swinging the cane at the re-re-re-re-re-rebuilt rails.
"Eep!" Tanbar quickly ran over and caught the cane before it hit the rails. "Don't toy with me, unless you want another broken leg."
((I think you're missing a "re-" or two. =_=))
Venice walked up to greet the two. "So, how'd it go?" he asked.
"Is that a threat" Kai said to Tanbar.

Venice walked up to greet the two. "So, how'd it go?" he asked.
((Actually, I think he's correct...))
"Well...assssk -hic- Jasss. Ssssshe'sss the one who got the -hic- gem." Lanbar said to Venice.
"Maybe it is." Tanbar said to Kai.
Venice closed his eyes and leaned against the rail. He opened his eyes when he heard the sound of creaking and breaking. He backed away from the broken rail and walked away.
"Well then" Kai kicked the almost broken again rail"
"Gah!" Tanbar grabbed the leg and pushed it out of the way. "Stop it! I'm sereous!"
Venice approached the almost-broken rail and inspected the damage. Of course, as he did this, it broke off completely... Again.
Tanbar stopped what he was doing for a few seconds and then looked toward Venice with a 'I'm going to kill you' glare. "Die!" He lunged at Venice and started attacking him wildly.
"Uh... Crap!" cried Venice as he dodged the rabid Tanbar.
Tanbar grabbed the hammer he used to fix the rails and started swinging it at Venice.

The hammer flew out of his hands. "Graaaah!" He started throwing wild punches at his head.

Tanbar ducked down and dodged the kick and then returned the favor with a kick to Venice's head.
Venice got knocked to the ground by the kick and rolled away from Tanbar.
Tanbar wasn't finished yet with Venice. While he was on the ground, Tanbar started trying to stomp on him.
Venice rolled away from Tanbar, then dashed at him in an attempt to tackle him.
Tanbar was pushed back and while he was falling, he grabbed onto Venice's clothes to bring him down with him.
Venice fell to the ground as well, dazed. He scrambled away from Tanbar.
Tanbar jumped back up and chased after Venice relentlessly.

Tanbar jumped back up and chased after Venice relentlessly.
Venice stopped running and threw a punch to Tanbar's head.
Tanbar was hit in the head and fell to the ground. Lanbar came to his senses (a.k.a. became sober again) and jumped on Tanbar and pinned him down. "Okay, who's the smart one who mad Tanbar off?" He said struggling to keep Tanbar down.
"Let me at him! I'm gonna KILL you!" Tanbar shouted trying to get out of his brother's restraint.
"It's- A- Railing!" said Venice in between gasps.
"Oh...that again, eh?" Lanbar said. "Well you might wanna get to either re-re-re-re-re...re-rebuilding that rail or...running away as far as you can before-"
"I KILL YOU!" Tanbar said jumping up but then being thrown to the ground by Lanbar.
"Yeah, before that." Lanbar said continuing to struggle.
"Or I slip something into his beer," murmured Venice coldly.
"Oh sure, he's gonna want to drink a beer now." Lanbar said sarcastically. "Just hurry up and do something. I don't know how much longer I can hold him."
"Yeah, yeah," he said as he went over and picked up the broken piece of railing and set about fixing it.
"You done yet? My grip's slipping." Lanbar said over to Venice.
"Just about," he replied, getting up.
"Okay, you hear that Tanbar, he fixed it." Lanbar said.
"I'm still going to KILL him!" Tanbar said trying to get out of the grip.
"Snap out of it! He fixed the rails! Get over yourself!" He said slapping him hoping to knock some sense in him.
"Ugh..." Tanbar said getting up rubbing where Lanbar slapped him. "What happened...exactly."
"Venice broke the rail, you go beserk on him, then he fixed the rail, and now you're all better." Lanbar said to him.
"I pity you, Lanbar."
"huh?" Lanbar said turning around. "Sorry, I didn't catch that. I was too busy getting the rum."
"Er. Never mind. Get me rum too."
"Alright then." He said grabbing two bottles of rum. "Drink up." He popped the top of the bottle and started drinking it.
Venice took a bottle as well and did the same.
"We need to put a sign. 'NO TOUCHING THE RAILING OR A DRUNK SAILOR WILL KILL YOU.'"
"Right." Lanbar said starting to sway back and forth from the rum. "Whaddaya say 'bout that -hic- Tanbar?"
"You know...I'm just going to go to bed now." He said walking down below deck probably worn out from the wild attack.
"Oh, great... Lanbar's getting drunk again," muttered Venice.
"What'd ya say 'bout my mother?" Lanbar said in an angry, but drunken way.
"Great," muttered Venice to himself. "Escape one twin, get attacked by the other."
"So now you want to insult my sister too -hic-, eh?" Lanbar said taking another big gulp of the rum.
"You have a sister?!" said Venice,voice oozing with mock surprise. He took another gulp of rum.
"Yeah! Her name'ssss..." Lanbar fell down to the ground, presumably unconsious from drinking so much today.
Venice examined the body and shrugged before getting up and starting to walk away.
Lanbar started snoring as he let go of the rum and it started to roll away.
((I'm going to go now.))
((Bye.))
Venice walked away and stared at the recently fixed rail. He hesitated as he walked past it, but went to his room, nonetheless.
Boogie looked down at the bed. He re-red the note once more.
Hey Venice.
I'm leaving the group. I have to go hunt my brother.
He can not keep going on. I felt really disconnected
from the group, and I'm glad at least you were
my friend. Goodbye.
~~ Boogie.
Boogie set the note down. Shantae looked over at him. "Are you ready?" She asked.
"Yes." Said Boogie, as he grabbed her hand and they ran off of the boat, into the darkness.
(( Yes, I am leaving this RP. I may be back once again. ))
Venice entered the room and noticed a note. As he read it, a look of worry and frustration came to his face. I guess they'll be alright, he thought, though that did little to calm him. He took another swig of rum before plopping down on the bed.
Harver creaked open an eye, and looked up at the nighttime sky. About 10 PM now... He shook the tree he was sitting under, and an apple fell down. He muched on it a bit. This will make for a nice snack, eh, Emit?
You're getting the instruments tonight?
Yes.
Why, might I dare to ask?
I want to play for my parents one more time... Harver tossed the apple remains aside, and looked at the waves the ocean made. I'll go in a little bit. Wouldn't want to make a scene in front of the others.
Solon was in the worst possible mood. He just laid in his bed, ignoring his wounds. This was the worst day ever... He thought with a sigh. We can't keep up with them much longer. Or atleast, I can't...
Jas was still testing her new skills on the now mutilated water bottle. She used a Water spell to cool the melting plastic, then Blizzard to freeze it.
"Now for the last one," she says, feeling small cracks of static electricity around her hand, and seeing some spark around a blade. "Thunder!" A single lightning bolt strikes the frozen bottle, causing it to shatter into pieces and go flying into the walls with a loud 'THUMP!' Jas looks around, noticing that one of the walls has a huge dent in it, and several items were knocked over. "Aw poop... at least it's not the railing..."
((lol))
Harver got up, and walked to find an edge of a cliff. He opened a portal, and walked through it.
Jas finds another empty water bottle in her bag, and starts using her newly learned magic on it.
((Wait... where is Jas now?))
Quote from: LightningSword on January 21, 2008, 12:34:50 PM
((Wait... where is Jas now?))
((Still in her room on the ship, not knowing that the others are back.))
((Ok, thanks!))
Harver emerged in his room from the ship. He quickly grabbed his violin and flute, stuffed them in his bag, and prepared to make another portal. ...! Nothing. What the...?
You've done a lot today. You should get some rest.
Harver ignored that remark, and opened the door. What are you doing?!
Passing the time. He stepped out on deck, and - after making sure no one was near - began to play his violin.
((Here's the song he plays; however, Harver plays it much softer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NONil_hvUKc ))
Solon got up and looked through his drawers for some clothes. He finally found a new shirt to wear and put it on. His left arm was stiff, but he figured some fresh air would help it, and maybe some time in the water. He stepped out of his cabin and headed towards the back of the ship. Solon noticed music coming from the deck, it sounded a lot like the music he had heard being played in the woods back in Nimbuslus Land. "Hm..." Solon whispered, listening to it as he leaned against the rail.
Come on, let's go! Harver ignored Emit's comments, and continued to play.
Maybe I can finally get one answered solved... Whatever's playing now might know what that eerie noise was before, Solon thought, turning around and searching for the source of the sound. He found Harver playing on the deck.
"...Harver..." Solon stated, noticing him. "What are you doing here?"
Harver stopped, and placed his violin and flute into his bag. Now look what you've gotten us into! He quickly opened a portal on the deck and put his bag through it. "Just passing the time." He said, turning to face Solon.
Solon just nodded curtly, his mind elsewhere. "Until what?" he asked.
Harver looked out onto the ocean, the waves slightly rippling. "Just think of it as the 'calm before the storm'." He finally stated, after pondering the question.
Jas ends up heading out of her room, and going out towards the deck to practice where there's more room... but then she hears something... Music...? She creeps up the steps, and freezes when she sees Harver and Solon. 'The hell...?'
Solon didn't turn his head when Jas walked in on them. "Don't you have better places to go then with the people you turned against?" Solon asked him, his voice even and calm.
Harver sighed. "And here I thought you'd be more understanding. I mean, it's not every day you find out your parents have been killed. But then again, you didn't know that, did you?" Harver faced Solon.
Solon sighed. "No, I didn't know that..." He replied, closing his eyes. "And, I know what that's like, Harver, to lose your family... Do you... Want to talk?" Solon felt stupid for trying to help Harver out, but he felt like he'd be stabbing him in the back and tossing him out to sea if he just left him there.
"I'd love to..." Harver started, a solemn look on his face. He turned out to the sea. "...but unfortunately, we're on different sides here. The storm is soon to come. We already have 3 of the gems, including the Scalander Gem." Of course, Kerow himself can't use it... "Zaronn and Zaroff still have one left, and you have another. The Dead Men can tell these kinds of things."
((He's talking about the one Jas took, right? >.>))
((Hai; the Scale Gem, correct?))
((The one gem we have would be the Scale Gem, so what else, right?))
"What are the Dead Men's plans?" Solon asked, tensing up when Harver reminded him of the sides. "And like I said before, why hang with us when you have your own crowd now?"
((Yep))
Jas just listens, not saying anything, and resisting the urge to use one of her spells.
Harver opened his mouth, but then closed it again. "Now why would I tell you that?" He asked, a smirk on his face. "I've already told you it a while ago, so search your memories. After all, we're not allies anymore, are we?"
"If we aren't allies, then you aren't welcome on my ship," Solon growled back, taking out his sword. "So, you're parents are dead. Boo hoo, now go cry to your Dead Men pals, but don't come back here!"
Harver sighed again, pulling out his sword as well. "If it must come to this..." He began, getting into his fighting stance. "...then I can't go back on my word."
Solon had expected Harver to just run away, like he did so many times before. He was surprised at Harver's course of action, but didn't back down. Now I wish I had taken more care of my arm... Solon thought with annoyance. I'll just have to beat him one handed. Solon didn't move. He stayed in a defensive stance and watched Harver through narrowed eyes.
Jas snaps out of her thoughts and runs into the fight. "Turn your back all you want... but you're not killing any of my friends."
Harver turned his focus to Jas. "Kill? Not likely. Fatally wound? Perhaps. This is what happens when others get on my bad side. I don't want to do things like this, but sometimes it's forced."
"Forced?" Jas smirks. "You didn't HAVE to come here in the first place!"
Harver smiled back. "Touche. Well, you seem to have persuaded me." He turned around, sheathing his sword. "Here's a word of caution, before I leave. If you ever meet Lord Kerow, the Scalander Gem is the key." With that, Harver jumped over the edge of the ship.
Solon ran towards the edge of the ship where Harver jumped off. "Dammit!" Solon scowled. "If anything, I would have kicked his sorry ass. Now he's run away like a coward... again!"
An owl came back up from the side of the ship that Harver jumped off. It landed on top of one of the masts of the ship. "Hoo." It was the same owl from earlier.
((Nice going, Jas. -.-;; I've been waiting for the highly anticipated Harver/Solon fight.))
"I don't think-" Jas shakes her head, looking away from the edge of the ship. "Nevermind," she tosses the frozen water bottle she brought with her into the air, then casts another thunder spell, the lightning bolt scattering it into pieces across the sky.
((He didn't have to run either. It could've been a Harver vs Jas and Solon fight. :P))
Harver transformed back into his human form, now in the Crow's Nest. "Whoever said I was leaving?" He shouted down to Solon and Jas. "Just trying to get the high ground and messing with your minds was all!"
((Ever thought that Solon might be able to fight Harver without Jas's help =P? ...Don't answer that >.>))
Solon looked up, his sword still tightly in his hands. He can transform into an owl...? Solon thought to himself in surprise. "Don't make me force you out of here, Harver!" Solon yelled up at him. "It's your choice. Get the hell out of here or face me!"
Harver looked down from the Crow's Nest, ignoring Solon. Wow. They look like ants from up here...
Harver! What the hell are you doing?!
What's your problem? I might as well have fun with my life while it lasts.
((I'm answering anyways... No... brb))
Jas still has her blades in her hands. "..."
Solon sheathed his sword and began climbing up the mast, trying hard to not use his left arm at all. He made it half way up before stopping and remembering that he was afraid of heights. ...J...Just keep going up... Don't look down... Solon peeked over his shoulder. I SAID DON'T LOOK DOWN! Solon shouted at himself as he gritted his teeth and held onto the mast more tightly. He took a deep breathe and continued to climb, shaking slightly.
Harver looked over the edge as he saw Solon coming up. Uhh... not good.
(( Update the first post!!
...
...
...
...
What? Just because I left the RP doesn't mean I don't like to read it. :O ))
"Idiot," Jas disappears in a cloud of smoke, then reappears behind Harver in the Crow's Nest.
Harver looked behind him and saw Jas. "Now that's a new trick." He quickly jumped off the Crow's Nest, and landed on top of one of the masts. He wobbled a bit, but quickly regained his balance.
Ooc\\ I demand a summary, I don't want to read through pointless posts... Oh, uh... Countless posts.
((Jas was blowing poop up with spells she learned, and Harver's come back to taunt us.))
Jas disappears again, then reappears on the deck.
((I will eventually... I thought about doing that, but I'm lazy D=. And glad to see it's an entertaining RP to read =). I've wondered about that...))
Solon jumped onto the mast that Harver had landed on, and scrambled to not fall. "Are you gonna keep running or fight!?" Solon shouted angrily, and with a slight shake in his voice as he noticed how far up he was.
((I get the feeling that Solon would never win in fair fight with Harver.))
((XD))
Jas stays where she is (in case Solon falls and she has to catch him).
((Excellent idea, Jas. Solon does have a tendency to fall from high places.))
((That's it, my next character is going to be some big, strong, serious, body building fighter who has awesome balance skills! You better savor these last pages Solon is in this RP, because next time you see me RPGing, It'll be a completely different Solon you'll be seeing!))
Solon climbed up the mast, trying to use his bad arm for balance since he couldn't use it for support. Finally, he made it to the top. "Ha, that's twice in a row I was in a situation where I could fall and I didn't!" Solon exclaimed. He pulled out his sword and looked toward Harver. "You ready to face me now! Or are you still planning on running away like every other occasion?"
((*tries to imagine Solon like that* Erm... That picture just seems wrong.))

((*tries to imagine Solon like that* Erm... That picture just seems wrong.))
((*Tries also...and fails to do so* Sorry, it's too hard for me. DX))
Harver pulled out his own sword, preparing to fight as well. "I wish that we could have met under other circumstances, so that we may have become friends. Unfortunately, that is not the case. If you wish to fight me, so be it."
((Should we cue the unnecessary yet dramatic rain now?))
Zarani, who had come back with the others after the fight, sat on the railing that had been repaired too many times, laughing. "Seriously, mates." He said, watching Solon with disbelief. "Who is this bloke?"
((Yes, cue the rain =D ))
Rain began to pour on them, but Solon didn't take his eyes off of Harver. "Yes, because I make friends with the sort that make deals and trade in one crew for another," Solon hissed back. He didn't look at Zarani, but told him, "This... Why, this is the traitor." Solon was in a defensive stance, watching Harver's every move.
Harver felt the rain pour on him, but didn't care. If only he knew...
But he doesn't. He wants you dead now. And desperate times call for desperate measures.
Harver slowly walked towards Solon, being sure not to get too close or lose his balance.
Solon stayed where he was, keeping his stature. If I ever imagined this fight... It would definitely not be on the mast of this boat. Rather on land in some castle while trying to get the gems... Solon thought, watching Harver still.
Harver edged closer to Solon, and made a slight swing at him. It wasn't for attacking purposes; merely to test if he could keep his balance with attacking.
Zarani sat watching, and rolled his eyes. "Just shoot the bloody ninny." He said.

((Looks like Armstrong from Full Metal Alchemist. http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb161/NGR_album/fma488.jpg XD))
Jas now has no choice but to watch.
'Nothing had to be this way, but...'
((There is a resemblance... ))
Venice woke up, hearing some commotion on the deck. He realized he still had the note in his hands. He placed it in an empty spot in his box of poison darts. He then proceeded outside and saw what was happening. "Harver," he muttered, his voice calm, but oozing with barely veiled contempt and a tinge of fear. "I'm surprised that two-timing ninny dares to show his face on this ship."
Kai looked up "What is that idiot doing now?" Then kai noticed Harver "Oh"
"..." Jas ignores the hair sticking to her face, letting the grip on her swords get tighter.
((Expect Solon would have more Naruto-ish hair and no mustache. Oh, and he wouldn't be fourty years old... >.>))
Solon blocked the shot with his own sword and jabbed forward at Harver, bending his knees slightly to keep balance. Alright... This is easy, Solon comforted himself. There's enough room to attack, but no room to dodge. All I have to do is not fall, and I should be fine. Just don't fall, keep your knees bent and stay towards the center... Just don't fall...
((It's still funny; Solon all muscled up with a mustache and pink sparklies. XD))
'He better not do anything stupid,' Jas smirks, and takes a step back.
((I swear, at the end of this match Solon's gonna fall and land on you. Now that'd be funny. Cue the evil laughter--*evil laughter tape plays in background*))
((*Destroys evil laughter tape* I'll make Solon get engulfed in a ball of flames. >.>))
((Then maybe Solon will call on the awesome powers of BoA and kick Jas's sorry ass out of the RP. I dunno, just a thought. Not like Solon would act on it or anything... But, you never know... But seriously, I wouldn't do that >.> ))
((*Eyes already watering**About to cry* ~*Sniffle*~ X.x
:P))
(( D= Don't cry, I hate it when girls cry...
Gah, way off topic. Er, as RP creator or something, I er... Stop with all this off topicness and get back on track with the RP or something! Or don't, I really don't care. I mean, you must because I said so! So... >.> Do something.))
((If she had something to do, she'd do it))
Jas wants the fight to end, but the only thing she can do to stop it is join.
Harver jumped backwards slightly, barely avoiding the attack. You have to be more careful!
I know that!
Solon stepped towards Harver carefully and swung harder at Harver's legs. His face remained nonchalant, though his eyes darted towards the edge every once in a while.
Harver moved his blade quickly and met with Solon's sword. They hit with a mentallic clang. So that he didn't lose his balance, Harver used force to bring his and Solon's blade clash higher.
Solon pushed against Harver's blade, stepping forward as he did so. "It's a big drop from here," Solon commented, pushing Harver closer to the edge.
Harver pushed as well, the ice cold rain pelting him. "Indeed, it is. Might not want to fall."
Lanbar woke up from his little nap wondering why he was so wet all the sudden. He looked up and realized that it was raining, he also saw Harver and Solon fighting. Harver...I thought you said you would regret any fight with us...Did you lie to me?
Jas looks to see Lanbar up and looking at the fight. "You're thinking the same thing as me I'm guessing..."
"...Yep." Lanbar said. "But tell me one thing...Who was the one who wanted to fight?"
"I think I'm immune to falling by now," Solon replied with a slight smirk. He broke from the hold and side stepped Harver at the same time. Solon almost lost balance but crouched slightly and recovered before slicing at Harver's side.
Harver jumped backwards again, but the blade nicked at his side. Blood began to slightly pour from it. "Huh... I can see that you won't hold back, now." He recovered, and went back into his fighting position.
Solon almost winced when the blade hit Harver, but he shook his head, remembering they were enemies now. This time Solon tried a fake upper cut and instead swung at Harver's legs.

"...Yep." Lanbar said. "But tell me one thing...Who was the one who wanted to fight?"
"I..." Jas pauses. "I don't think either of them wanted to fight, but Solon told Harver to leave, he wouldn't, and now here we are."
Harver placed his blade where the uppercut would have gone, but he shivered from the cold slightly. His blade went down a few inches, barely deflecting Solon's attack. Crap... Can't keep this up much longer.
Then leave!
I can't!
Solon was beginning to have trouble seeing from the rain. He stepped a couple paces back and blink, trying to clear his sight. He stayed in a defensive stance while shaking from the cold.
"This isn't gonna end well," Jas blinks back the water getting in her eyes and tears forming because of the cold.
So maybe all hope is not lost with Harver. "I hope that's not true." Lanbar said wiping some water off his face and eyes only to have it replaced by the rain.
Harver looked at Solon. Now's your chance to attack!
I can't take advantage of someone like this, let alone Solon!
It's now, or never! Harver sighed. "I can't do this, Solon." He called out to him. "Consider this a warning. The Dead Men are gaining strength with each gem they get. Try to keep the one you have out of sight."
Solon looked at Harver, his eyes narrowed mostly from the rain. His first instinct was to just run and hit Harver with his sword, but he knew he couldn't. Instead, Solon just stood tall and stared at Harver, his face completely indifferent and his sword held lazily at his side.
'There's still some things I want answered...' Jas looks up at the two. "Wait a minute!"
Harver looked down at Jas, then wobbled a bit from the height. "What is it?" He asked after regaining his balance.
Lanbar gave Jas a quick inquisitive look. What's she going to do next? This is pretty unexpected.
"What exactly did you mean by giving me that ring?" That question, Jas couldn't help but to ask since not knowing had been bugging her.
Harver gazed down at Jas. "What do you think it means? Could it merely be a ploy, to try to trick you? Or could it be a sign that I still have faith in you guys? The choice is up to you." He looked back up at the sky. The rain had stopped. "Now, if you'll excuse me." He jumped off the mast, created a portal in the deck, and was gone. The portal disappeared along with him.
Solon put his sword away and slumped down, leaning against the center of the mast. Solon shook his head, allowing the water in his hair to spray out in different directions. I shouldn't have let him go, Solon thought with a sigh. He stared at the spot where Harver disappeared. We'll meet again on the battlefield... And maybe too soon...
Zarani watched the two going at it. He looked down and shook his head, then caught a shining glint of something. The gems. Yes... I could get it and slip away undetected... That would be helpful... He looked up at Solon again, scanning him for any bulges in his pockets. He took a step forward from the railing.
"...Ring?..." Lanbar started looking over to Jas. "What ring?"
((We only have one of the gems, and Jas has it. So if Zarani wants to steal it, go for Jas. Harver has a gem, Zaronn has a gem, and the Dead Men have two gems.))
"Wha-" Jas sighs, and turns to go back to her room. "Not what I meant." 'He can be dense for someone supposedly so smart...'
((Coulda swore that said "bulges in his pants". 0.0 And the gem Jas has isn't visibly on her.))
((Never said he saw anything on Solon. >_>' Besides, how do you know that Zarani doesn't have... "Abilities"?))
((Actually, the Dead Men have 3 gems, not 2...:P))
"Oh sure, go and ignore my questions." Lanbar said to Jas as she walks away. "Whatever. I'm going to my room now."
((@Birdie: Or, so we are to believe.))
Harver emerged in the study below the bar. He shook the water off of him, and slumped on the sofa. Kerow immediately came in, infuriated. He noticed that Harver was wet, but didn't care. "Fools! They've lost the Scalander Gem!" Harver immediately stood up, appalled.
"I thought you left Sweeny in charge of it!" Harver exclaimed.
"I did, and he's been proving insufficient. I plan on calling him now. Come." Kerow opened a portal, and Harver followed.
((Where do you want Sweeny to be, Birdie?))

((Actually, the Dead Men have 3 gems, not 2...:P))
((Harver ~ Time Gem
Dead Man (don't know which one) ~ Crescent Gem
Jas ~ Scale Gem
Zaronn ~ Cloud Gem
??? ~ Scalander Gem))
Zarani held his hand over his metallic eyepatch, wobbling it slightly. He hadn't noticed anything on Solon. But that girls plan, she must've recovered it. He began to untie his head band connected to the eyepatch. She's got it.
((Is Zaronn part of the Dead Men now? I counted him as his own team with Zaroff. And Sweeney will be in Crescent Island, his own native land.))
Solon slid down the mast, landing lightly on his feet. "Have we got all we need from Scalus?" Solon asked Lanbar in a dry voice. "I'm thinking we should head out to Emit or Nimbuslus Land. Someone once told me those places had good info on Scalander and the gems..."
((No...well...not yet. :O SUSPENSE!))
"huh?" Lanbar said turning around before going below deck. "Well, we have the Scale Gem so...yeah, we got everything we needed from Scalus. And the next place we go to is really...up to you...I guess."
((I'm sorry Hobo didn't see your post. X.x))
Jas looks back at Lanbar. "I'll tell you later," she closes the door to her room and locks it.
((Zaronn and Zaroff are seperate from the Dead Men, I believe.))
Harver and Kerow emerged in the cave where Solon and the others found out Harver was a traitor. "Sweeny!" Kerow called out, hoping he would be there.
((Now YOU'RE the one ignoring the posts! T.T :P))
Lanbar turns around for a second at the comment and then quickly turns back to Solon.
Zarani scowled as the door closed and locked. If this entire operation was to be successful, he would need things to work for him. He looked over the side, retieing his headband. He could see his ship floating far off. The bloody dead men nearly killed my crew... Now I can get them back. Quickly making sure no one was looking, he lifted a foot up and kicked clean through the railing that had been re-re-re-something-paired. "Oh, oops. Mates, someone's going to need to fix that." He said, grinning a bit showing his canine teeth.
"Then I guess we'll head over to Emit, then downward to Nimbuslus Land," Solon directed. He gave a dismissive nod to Lanbar before heading into his own cabin. He sat down with a sigh and covered his face with his hands. I was just a theif... Solon thought, reminiscing. Now I'm captain of a ship dedicated to stopping these Dead Men? These Dead Men that Harver warned us about... What happened?
---
Sweeney appeared in front of Lord Kerow and Harver. "Something needed, sir?" Sweeney asked, giving a disgusted look at Harver.
"Yippie skippie. I don't give a darn anymore about that rail." Lanbar said heading below deck. "No use in fixing it, It'll just break again. I'm going to my room now." He then went into his room and locked the door before getting Harver's journal and re-reading the last entry just in case he missed anything.
Jas dries her hair, then changes her clothes before going to straighten her hair again. "I'll get answers outta him..." ' How did my saying go? Date like a man so you don't get played like a ninny... Doesn't fit exactly with the situation, but still...''
Venice looked around randomly and noticed the broken rail. He silently mouthed the word "crap" repeatedly and set about fixing it before Tanbar killed someone.
Harver ignored the look Sweeny gave him, but Kerow seemed angry. "Where is the Scalander Gem?!"
Zarani looked around. A few other people were on the deck, none had seemed to notice him. He pulled off the headband, the eyepatch coming with it. "Ah, at last I can see!" He said, taking his apache out and extending the bayonet. "Now, to get down to business." Where the eyepatch once was, was now a deep blood red eye. The pupil was white, and the veins were black, in a pattern like spider webs crawling across the eye.
Sweeney gave Kerow a confused look. "Why are you asking me about it? Remember, last minute we switched and gave it to Gerodo instead because of better protection and location? He always gets the better teammates, I say it's because he's so weak... But either way, he has it, not me," Sweeney reminded Kerow. "Wait... He didn't lose it, did he!?"
"We shall see, once we find him." Kerow said. "Do you know where he is?"
"Well let me think... We switched him out for Heronn, and Heronn's last post was either Nimbuslus Land or Scalus," Sweeney replied. "Why don't we split up with Steph and check both areas?" With the mention of his name, Steph appeared.
"Hm? Did you call, Sweeney?" Steph asked.
"Yes," Sweeney replied. "We need to find Gerodo. Should Steph and I check one area while you and the boy check another?" Sweeney asked, turning back once again to Kerow.
((g2g don't do anything drastic))
Kerow nodded. "Though I'd prefer you and Harver go together..." Harver tensed at this, "...I think it's best that we don't have any bloodshed tonight. We'll go check Nimbuslus, while you and Steph check Scalus. Sound good?"
((Finally, she's gone! Time to do something immensely drastic.-- Sweeney shot Harver, killing him instantly.-- I think that might be sufficient... But, maybe something a bit more-- Being a big G-modder, Harver's last words were--...Alright, alright, I'm done >.>))
"Great then. We may be able to meet up with Heronn there. He'd probably know best, anyway," Sweeney replied, disappearing with Steph instantly, with one last dirty look at Harver.
---
Solon walked back on deck. "Right, can we get this ship moving?" Solon shouted back to whoever could hear him, he sounded impatient.
"Absolutely, mate." He said. He looked directly at Solon. His eye became visible and he realized it too late. Drastic measures. He held the apache up to Solon. "This ship has just been comandeered by the great Captain Zarani."
Venice turned away from the re repaired railing and saw Zarani. "What the hell?!"
((No, we need something even better! Like it turns out that Venice is Lanbar and Tanbar's long lost brother separated at birth. Zarani is Solon's father. And Haver and Jas are 3rd cousins twice removed. Tanbar has a dark secret of murdering his mother. And Kerow is really a softy on the inside only seeking acceptance. XD...))
Kerow created another portal. "And we're off." He stepped through, followed by Harver.
((=_=))

((So much for not being drastic, you guys xD
*Looks at TL* Wha? Why do I have to get neutered? Jas should neuter Harver, not me D=))
Solon narrowed his eyes at Zarani. "I'm almost ashamed to say I expected this from you and still let you on board," Solon growled. "But don't think you can just stroll in and take this ship and crew. Only I can pull that off."

((There we go, fixed. ;)))
Zarani raised his hands up. "Oh, my crew can too." He said, pointing to each side of the ship. "Sorry, mate. I need those gems for some revenge." His crew came over the sides, each one fierce looking and wielding deadly weapons. "Crew, show them to their quarters." He said, never taking his eye off Solon.
((

Fixed ;). ))
"I don't need showing to my quarters," Solon spat back. "I suggest you take your crew off of my ship before something bad happens."
((Hobo, Venice wnuld never do that. Lanbar would be drunk, obviously. Also, how about Jas falls for Lanbar, who likes Trin, who likes Venice. Meanwhile, Kerow is the father of Luke Skywalker, the grandfather of Solon. Zarani commits suicide and Sweeney dies to save Heronn. Harver is disgraced and shunned, finally becoming a torn soul who seeks vengeance.))
Zarani shook his head. "Fighting till the end, are you. Well, I guess you can meet my greatest friend; the sea." He bit into his finger and touched his eye. Blood turned it a deeper red than it was before. "I hope you realize that you could've avoided this. Now then, to let you die with honor." He pulled his thumb away, and blood was pouring off his hand. He stepped into a large puddle on the deck it had formed and the bleeding ceased. "Ex Dead Man, Captain Renge Zarani, at your service, mate."
Solon took a step back, but he shook his head and stepped forward again. His eyes did not leave Zarani's bloody one. Solon took out his own sword, holding it for comfort, knowing it would have little chance against Zarani's gun.
"What the hell is up with your eye?" Solon blurted out, trying to buy some time.
Venice merely stared in shock. He looked from Solon to Zarani and back. Finally, he drew his knife and tried to slice Zarani's neck.
Tanbar came up to the deck to do some last-minute checking and he saw Solon and Zarani fighting. what the hell is going on?
Zarani laughed. "This? It's what makes me so special. It was given to me upon joining the Dead Men. It grants me the ability to alter my blood however I want. I can also see bloodstreams in a persons body." With deadly speed he spun and stuck his hand out towards the blade. It cut clean through his hand, cleaving it in half. Within moments the hand was whole again, the skin oddly tinted red. "You see, it shows my bloodlust. Scary, isn't it, mate?" He explained.
Venice took a step back. He tried to speak, but words refused to come. He merely stuttered, something quite unusual to him.
"Well, it's not normal," Solon replied, suddenly having trouble swallowing. He gave a nervous glance towards Venice and Tanbar, then looked back at Zarani. "Er, Ex-Dead Man, you say? What happened exactly?"
"Simple. The bastards tried to dispose of me once I served my purpose. They just decided they were bored of ol' Zarani. Savvy?" He glared into space as he said this.
"So, you're about to do the same exact thing to us?" Solon shot back. "We've been trying to help you, and each day we get closer to the Dead Men. Yet now that we've served your purpose of showing you where the gems are, you are just going to dispose of us? Hm, you aren't any better then the Dead Men. Actually you aren't even good enough to be an official Dead Men! Hypocritical bastard."
"But with that power," said Venice, having apparently found a voice. "It would be incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to kill him." He gave the others a nervous look and gulped.
"True." Tanbar said. "But what advantage does this give to kill us? I mean, we can help him since we have a common enemy, right?"
((Aw dangit. >_>' I had a nice long post, and my internet dropped. How annoying. >_>'))
((Aw dangit. I have to go now. How annoying. DX))
((That sucks D= I hate it when that happens >.>...))
Solon remembered when Heronn had pierced through Zarani's stomach with mere wind. Maybe it wasn't because of Heronn's power... Maybe it was Zarani's weakness... Solon thought, watching Zarani still. "Nothing's impossible. And I plan on cracking this code," Solon replied to Venice's comment.
((I gotta go, midterms tomorrow >.>))
((Yeah, that does suck. See ya. Good luck with those midterms.))
((Bye. Good luck.))
He must have a weakpoint. Everything does, thought Venice, and he too recalled his previous wound. Maybe wind? No. Something that would prevent him from healing...
Harver and Kerow emerged from the portal, coming out into the study in Scalus. "I think I can handle it from here." Kerow said. "I know the areas he would be in, and I'd travel quicker on my own." Harver nodded, and Kerow exited the room. Harver sat down in his favorite chair. Your friends!
Huh? What's up, Emit?
Apparently, you aren't the only one who's a traitor to them... Ex-Dead Man, Captain Zarani is with them. Harver stood up in shock. Should I tell Kerow, or try to help Solon and the others?
I don't know.
((Now it's up to you, America! You decided what Harver does! Should he help the crew, or inform Kerow of this new traitor? Find out in the next epic episode of DMDTS!
...Which will occur in the next post.))
((Help, but don't expect a warm welcome.))
((XD Harver wouldn't expect that, after what he's been through.))
((At least Jas can't neuter him yet. He'll only have three people who hate his guts this time.))
((Go right ahead and help... *Sharpens knife* I'll be here around 1central because I got finals...))
Jas comes out of her room upon hearing the commotion.
"Ah, it's you." He said, noticing her walk out. "My apologies, but I really need that gem." He unwound the shirt that was wrapped around his waist. "Well, I guess Heronn helped me by wounding me." He said, revealing the hole in his torso. "So, peacefully? Or painfully?"
((Do whatever Harver thinks he should do. I mean, if you help us Kerow will most likely find out since he's in Scalus as well and we haven't left yet. So, you can either be part of the Dead Men or not. But Harver better choose one or the other, because he can't be part of both.))
"I should be asking you that question," Solon shot back, gripping his sword more tightly. "You can get off this ship right now, or face me."
"You're not getting the gem," Jas says, drawing her swords. "How about I painfully make that hole in your gut bigger?"
Kai sands up,"Did I miss something" He says drawing the sword.
"Well, love. Allow me to do that for you." He grinned with insanity as his body began to deteriorate around the hole. "Now, we begin." He said. He rose his arms up towards the sky and the blood came up around him, and began to swirl around him.
Solon took a deep breath before running at Zarani and slashing at the bloody cyclone surrounding him.
Harver ran out of the study, and saw Kerow preparing to leave. "Lord Kerow! I've found an ex member of the Dead Men, Zarani." Kerow turned around. "Do you know of him?"
"Yes, I do. He served his purpose, and we didn't want him around anymore..." Kerow tensed. "I thought we disposed of him. It seems we were wrong. I'll go find Heronn, while you dispose of the traitor."
"As you command." Kerow walked away, and Harver created a portal. This'll be tricky... He thought, stepping into it.
((Why couldn't he be one of the cool pirates like... JACK SPARROW! I GOT A JAR OF DIRT! okay I'll stop, just had to say it. :P))
Jas gets into her fighting stance, bouncing on her toes, ready to strike or cast a spell in an instant.
((Anyone need an explanation of what Jas went and learned? >.>))
The blood parted for a moment, then reconnected, pulling at the sword. A hand reached out of the blood bath and grasped for Solon's face.
Jas wasn't close enough to strike with her blade, so she raises it instead, and brings it down. Thunder rumbles for a moment before a lightning bolt strikes at the blood hand.
Zarani turned towards where he had heard her. His hand recoiled and he glared through the blood at her, holding his hand until the electric shock disappeared. "Tell me, did you know I can kill you by altering your blood stream? Just one little cut on you that allows me to get my own blood in, and my blood mixes with yours and allows me to alter yours. Hell, I can even control you." He looked back through the blood at Solon's wounded shoulder. "Tell me... Did you know that!?!" He threw blood out of the stream at his shoulder, firing three shots of the apache out of the stream at the same time.
Venice stared at the blood bath, trying to find a way to get at Zarani. If Jas can shoot thunder, maybe she can freeze the blood, but Zarani could melt it easily. Obviously, we can't expect blades to be much good. But if he can control us like that, we're doomed for sure.
Solon felt one of the bullets hit his left shoulder, underneath his last wound. He doubled back and grabbed his shoulder. "No... I didn't," Solon gasped. He was able to roll out of the way from the blood and miss the other two shots fired at him. "But thanks for the warning, I guess..." Solon stood back up, hunched over slightly. He kept his sword up, ready to defend another attack.
---
Heronn appeared in front of Kerow at his name, holding a dead Gerodo.
"Long story," he told Kerow. "I'll have to explain it thorougly once all the details are found. Sweeney and Steph are looking into it. But, the gem is gone."
"Then I just won't get hit," Jas growls, readying another attack.
Lanbar came stumbling up to the upper deck. "What the -hic- heck isss going o-hic...o-hic-...o-hic-...oh, you know what I me-hic...mean!"
"Um...Zarani's turned on us." Tanbar said pointing over to Zarani." Wow...I've never seen Lanbar so drunk. I don't think he can stand for two seconds without tripping over himself. His blood-alcohol consentation must be pretty high!
((Haha! I have gotten the first post of the 200th page! :D))
(( Looks like I didn't have to post after all :P))
Solon wondered what would happen if he just ran right through the blood bath and tried to just rip Zarani apart. If I'm fast enough, I might be able to kill him before the blood gets into me... Then again, I might just die, Solon thought, weighing the options and thinking carefully. Hm... I'm the only one with a wound... ((go figure...)) I could distract Zarani while the others attack him. He can only really do any damage to me...
"That's a nice trick you have there," Solon told Zarani, trying to keep his voice steady. "I'm guessing that's the trait you learned while working for the Dead Men. Pretty cool, but it's worthless if you can't catch your opponent and give them cuts first. Shall we test your speed? If you can catch me, you can have me!" Solon darted towards the opposite end of the ship, staying slow at first to make sure Zarani followed.
Kerow became infuriated. "Let's go see them, then." He said, trying to remain calm.
((Aww shaddup. :P))
'Gaah! What the hell is he doing!?' Jas starts to say something, but stops, hoping that it's a good plan.
Zaronn Confronted Sweeny and Steph but made sure that he could not be clearly seen. "I bet you're wondering what happened to the gem, haven't you?" Zaronn said with a smile that glinted in the darkness.
((200th page, woot! And if Hobo hadn't posted I would have made the first post on page 200 D=. ))
"They're looking for the trail. I told them to report to us once they've found anything. We might as well wait for them," Heronn replied, placing Gerodo on the table.
---
Sweeney and Steph looked at Zaronn. "Do you have it?" growled Sweeney, trying to get a better look at Zaronn.
"Show yer face!" added Steph.
"I wouldn't be growling if I were you." Zaronn said stepping out into the moonlight. "I DO have the gem." He said with an evil grin."Gerodo was the only thing in between me and that gem. It wasn't that hard."
((He WON'T have the gem if Jas seduces it outta him. XD :P))
Jas doesn't let anything else mess her focus on the fight up.
Seems like a smart fellow, Sweeney thought. Gerodo may have been an idiot, but this guy has just outsmarted the Dead Men! "What was your name again?" Sweeney asked curiously.
Gah, I have to pee! Why didn't Sweeney let me out at that pit stop?
"Zaronn, ex-commander of the Army of Scalus." Zaronn said.
"Hm... Scalus army, eh? That's impressive, but you don't have the powers only a true Dead Men can be given. If you really want power, you'll join us," Sweeney told Zaronn. "And stop squirming Steph, we don't need you doing a drama of this conversation in the background, this isn't some Greek play!"
"S-Sorry, Sweeney," Steph replied, straightening up.
"Well why else would I want to kill one of your own." He said keeping the same evil grin. "It's not like I wanted to prove my worthiness or something like that." He said with a very small hint of sarcasm.
((Wait, Zaronn has the Cloud Gem, right? I don't really want him to have the Scalander Gem... I hope he's lying. :P))
"Hmm..." Kerow said. He was the impatient type, but this was no point to lose his temper. "I suppose we shall wait. Any other news on our procedures?"
"Zarani still has his power..." Heronn replied. "This could be bad, seeing as his was a particularly strong one."
---
"Hm... Well, we'll see if Kerow sees any worth in you," Sweeney decided, then he gave Steph a look. Steph nodded and grabbed Zaronn. "We'll take you out of here. But try any funny business and expect a suicidal end." Sweeney gave Zaronn a warning look before appearing back to Heronn and Kerow.
((lulz, you typed Zarani instead of Zaronn. :P))
Hm...portals...that could be a helpful power.
((No Hobo, I think that's what he meant))
((Hey! No fair, you edited it! >:())
((He meant the bottom part. The ending I said Zarani instead of Zaronn when pulling him through a portal. And of course I edited it, no one is ever going to look at it again, so it must look perfect!!))
((Oh, I see it now. Didn't read the whole thing, sorry.))
(Tsk. Jas is not the only oblivious one, ShOrTi.))
((Starting THAT again? :P Gimme a break, finals are a pain in the ass and I'm tired, okay.))
((But of course, you have an excuse for everything. :-| :-P ))
((No I don't. X.x I really am tired from stressin' out even though I shouldn'tve because the tests were kinda easy.))
(( 'Tis a sad fact of life that we freak out over simple, petty tribulations.))
((I usually just spend my days as if I wasn't about to have all these exams, and just hope they're easy when I take 'em. It makes life so much easier, and for some reason I'm still getting good grades. The system must be flawed.))
((I almost never study. Yet I still get straight As.))
"Solon, what are you doing?!" cried Venice as he saw the fool run across the deck.
((I don't study, I just go crazy for a whole week and manage to keep my A average. >.> I g2g... gotta take one tomorrow, then two Friday.))
Jas constantly feels different elements swirling around her hands, though nothing is there.
Zarani watched Solon, distaste across his face. "You make my blood boil, mate." He grunted, taking a step forward. In a moment, he was completely out of the blood, his skin a light shade of crimson. The blood behind him stopped swirling and fell, causing a wave of blood to move out in all directions. "Now stand still!" He shot the apache at Solon, drawing his cutlass afterwards and sprinting at him.
Jas follows after, so she can have a chance to strike.
Solon jumped behind one of the masts. The blood spattered all around, and he heard the bullet zoom by his face. This should be interesting, Solon thought, he could feel his heart pounding. Alright, lemme think for a sec... I guess I should continue giving him a target and make sure to stay within reach... Solon went over his plan in his mind, but he didn't have much time to think. When he was sure there weren't any bullets or blood flying at him, he stepped back out. "Nice try buddy, but you are a bit on the slow side. I didn't even have to try that time around!" Solon shot at Zarani with a slight grin to egg him on.
((O...M...F...G... Why is nobody posting!? >.<))
Jas takes another step after them.
Lanbar ran after Zarani and threw a kick to the head and then went for a low sweep. "Take -hic- that!"
Harver emerged from the portal in what used to be his room on the ship. He heard commotion up on deck. Hmm... my powers have used up a lot of my strength... I should wait a couple minutes.
Whatever you do, don't expect a warm welcome.
I know...
***
Kerow nodded, pouring some champaigne out of a bottle into two glasses to pass the time. "However, Harver also has exceptional prowess. And don't forget that when a Dead Man breaks his vows, his powers are weakened."
"We're back, and we've got the person who killed Gerodo," Sweeney told Heronn. He nodded towards Steph who was gripping Zaronn tightly. "He says he has the Scalander Gem, and he seems to have some power to be able to kill one of us."
"He may be promising," Steph agreed, biting his lip from the pain of not being able to go to the bathroom.
Venice watched the commotion with only mild interest. After a moment of deep thought and lethargy, he walked closer and observed the blood.
Kerow placed the bottle on the table, and walked towards Zaronn. "I see. Do you have any idea how much power an item such as that holds?"
"Of course." Zaronn said. "I have another item with great powers." He said showing the Cloud Gem for a split second before putting it back. "I was trying to get this for my previous leader and that's when it struck me that I was just serving a fool." He said starting to walk around. "I realized that, 'hey! I'm on the loosing side right now.' And I didn't like that...Why else would I want to come to you?"
Kerow examined him, up and down. "You are clearly lying. I see only the power of the Cloud Gem attached to you." Kerow put his finger to his lips, thinking. "Which means that Gerodo must have lost the Scalander Gem beforehand." He returned his attention to Zaronn. "If you are willing to take up the vows of a Dead Man, then you may join us, seeing as we are one man short." He gestured to Gerodo's dead body.
"Hm...you are very wise my lord." He said bowing to him. "I humblly accept your offer to join the Dead Men."
"You'll need to give up that gem, though," Heronn told Zaronn. "Only our safekeepers may hold onto the gems. I, being one of them, will take that off your hands." Heronn used his wind to blow the Cloud Gem away from Zaronn and right into his own hands and smirked. "Don't worry, being part of the Dead Men gives you power beyond your dreams." Sweeney and Steph both nodded in agreement, smirking as well.
Zaronn could feel the power drain away from his body. "I see." He said to Heronn. "I assume that's how you got the powers of the wind on your side."
Kerow nodded. "I believe you three can show the newcomer about his duties, and the vows he must uphold." He looked at the Cloud Gem in Heronn's hands. "Now we only need the Scale and Scalander Gems... then our plans shall be complete." He created a portal on the wall of the study, which lead to an area unknown. "Good luck with your new job, Dead Man Zaronn." He stepped into the portal, and it vanished.
Heronn gave Kerow a curt nod before turning back to Zaronn. "Our Mage gives us power," Heronn replied. "The one thing we need are the gems to harness ultimate power. You'll see in time. After training, you too will get to meet with the Mage for your powers."
"Ah, so that is the purpouse of gathering the gems..." Zaronn said. "and what is the training that I must go through?"
Kerow emerged from the portal in what seemed to be a chamber of sorts. "We have a new member."
"It varies per person," Heronn replied with a slight shrug. "I'll let Sweeney mentor you. He needs to exercise some of his skills since he has been out of a real fight for so long." With that, Heronn disappeared.
"Well first, you need to learn how to teleport," Sweeney growled, annoyed at having to go through all his training but now as a teacher.
---
"Ah good. A replacement for that unworthy Gerodo?" echoed a voice that could not be seen, only heard.
"Yes." Kerow said, smirking. "And even better; he had the Cloud Gem. That leaves only the Scale and Scalander Gems."
"Teleporting...that would have complimented my powers of great speed greatly." Zaronn said.
"So, we've lost the Scalander gem, have we?" The voice sounded dissapointed. "Don't tell me it was entrusted to Gerodo? I thought we established that he was only to keep safe the small things worth losing that our higher members had no time to look after!"
---
"You don't need speed when you can go wherever you want, when you want," Sweeney explained. "Right now we have a limit. But with the gems, we will have all our powers at no cost to ourselves!" Sweeney began laughing maniacly for a moment, before settling down enough to begin teaching Zaronn how to form a portal.
"So...what exactly IS our limit right now?" Zaronn asked.
"I know." Kerow said, a frown appearing on his face. "However, it was only going to be for a night. The others more higher up were busy that night, trying to gain the other gems. In all honesty, it was my fault." He bowed down. "I apologize."
"It depends on the amount of power your own body can manifest," Heronn replied. "Newer members tend to make portals once an hour, while veterans can make one every few minutes or so."
---
"Do not let it happen again, Kerow," the voice replied harshly. "I may show more mercy on you more then the others, but I won't hesitate to perform punishment on those who deserve it. And are we completely sure we can trust this Harver fellow? If he is still carrying that Time Gem around, we should be quick to remove it from his possessions. Only Safekeepers may hold onto the gems. He is no exception."
"Ah...I see." Zaronn said. "So let's get to the training."
Kerow nodded. "I understand. However, do you not know of the boy's heritage? Harver holding the Time Gem allows him to further his connection with his ancestor, Lord Emit, giving us more insight on the whearabouts of others. It was he himself who found Ex-Dead Man, Zarani. Do you remember him?"
"Zarani... The one we killed?" the voice asked. "I remember him vagely. Why is he still alive? Well, he must be destroyed. He has powers that can be harmful to us when not used with us, but rather against us."
---
Sweeney nodded and showed Zaronn how to produce a portal. "Concentrate very hard. The first 100 times you do it, you'll need to focus. After that it seems like 2nd nature."
"Alright then." He held out his hand and thought very herd on producing a portal until finally, he made one but it only lasted for a few seconds. "Whew...That took some work."
((I g2g now. :'())
"What do you think our next course of action should be, other than obtaining the Scalander Gem?" Kerow asked.
"The Scale gem resides with those pesky brats who continue to get in our way," the echo explained. "The Crescent Gem has rendered useless until that one in their group is killed, and they seem to have no intentions of giving up their fight. Our next and final action should be to raid them. With them gone, we willl have access to both the Scale and Crescent gems. Not only that, but no one will be around to foil our plans, and we can finish looking for the Scalander gem with ease."
---
Sweeney smirked at Zaronn. "You've got a long way to go, newbie."
((Cya Hobo))
Zarani's head dissolved and reappeared, the foot going straight through it. "You're wasting your time, Solon." He said, hardly noticing Lanbar. He touched his temple and in an instant he vanished into a pool of blood. "I can get you like this." He gurgled from the blood.
"Understood." Kerow said. "It is supposed that they are currently docked at Scalus. However, they move a lot in small amounts of time. Should we try to ambush them at their next stop, or try to attack them before they leave?"
***
Harver became nervous, hearing more commotion above. What the hell is going on up there?
Venice stared at the blood. He took out his knife and prepared to stick the blade through Zarani's heart once he rematerialized.
"Hm... Didn't you say they were being attacked by Zarani?" the voice realized. "I think it would be best if we simply let Zarani take care of them. If he does not succeed in wiping them all out, we can have our men finish them off. Isn't Harver over there? He can tell us if Zarani succeeds or not. If he doesn't succeed Harver can tell us where they are at the moment and where they are headed and we can take them from there."
---
"Sure, you can talk, but from what I see your precision is crap," Solon sneered back at the pool of blood. "If you want to get me, you need to stop slacking off and give me something actually worthwhile to dodge!"
'And I can get you' Jas slashes her blades again. Freezing winds and ice sweep over the area Zarani covers; Jas immediately sends more of these Blizzard spells through.
"Wise advice, my lord." Kerow said, bowing. "I'll be sure to carry out that plan. Anything else?"
"That'd be all for now," the voice announced dismissively. "Just remember to get the plan to Harver."
"Very well, my lord." Kerow said, turning around. He created a portal, and was gone.
Jas is in a stance that will allow her to either attack or cast another spell quickly.
"what the hell now" Kai said walking with the cane "Man these evil dudes are creative"
Jas looks at Kai. "Man, you're hard-headed. Don't you wanna be able to go around without using that cane?"
((I swear... I've seen a movie where a guy hid a sword in his cane... Did you get that idea from a movie?))
Solon wondered if the pool of blood that was Zarani could just jump and attack him as easily as if it had hands and legs. Maybe I should find better cover... Solon thought, glancing towards the door leading into the cellar.
((In Soul Caliber 3, there's a chick that hides a sword in an umbrella. >.> But I swear, you guys got me dreamin' about the darn RP. 0.o))
Jas sees Solon's quick look at the cellar door. "Don't!" 'He'll probably leak through, and you'll be trapped...'

((Thanks, but that's not what I was referring to. Ninjas have the reputation of being quiet and stealthy,and thieves have the reputation of being fast and nimble )).
Kerow emerged in a portal that was right next to Harver. Harver jumped back in surprise. "What are you doing?" Kerow held up a hand to make him stop.
"I have a message from the Mage." He began. "Do not interfere with this fight. If Zarani succeeds in killing them, then relay the message to me. We'll decide what to do. If he fails to kill this crew, then keep secret and learn where they are going next. We will try to ambush them at their next stop. Understood?" Harver nodded.
"Thank you for this information." He said, bowing slightly. Kerow nodded and created another portal, and stepped through. It closed behind him.
((Weell... If you think about it, they both have all four traits... Guess they have to be divided somehow, but I get what you're saying.))
((It doesn't really matter anyway, I was just saying. So how do i get started?))
((Right now, there's a fight on the group ship in Scalus, so I'm not really sure where you could begin. >.<))
((What if someone from Scalus requested my services? Could I maybe use that as an excuse to get into the story?))
((Well, we're heading to Nimbuslus Land next. You could either wait, or travel to Scalus and find or ship. Maybe you wanted a chance to come home because you forgot something etc. or were homesick... you know, whatever you want, really. Ship trips are fast because of the whirl channel, so either solution would work. The latter would be quicker, but the first would be more realistic.
And did I read that right, Shorti 0.0? Do you really dream about this RP? XD What are the dreams?))
Well, what am I supposed to do then? Solon thought frantically to himself. I don't think there's a way out of this for me unless I jumped into the ocean and swam away. Hm, that's a good idea. Solon glanced towards the ocean, decided how far he could go before the whirlpools would whisk him away. "Either make your move," Solon directed at Zarani, "or I'll have to make mine."
((I'll wait)).
((Definitely the better choice, though you may have to wait a bit longer. So, I guess if you have any questions till then you can PM me or just ask here or something, or not.))
((Alright)).
((Yes you read it right. XD To make it short, 3 people die, are reborn somewhere else, grow up together, then end up in a love triangle in High School. 0.o))
'Blood and water? That ain't good,' Jas bites her lower lip. 'And I don't know if I can manipulate it...'
((If it was two girls and a guy, then I hope that guy was Solon! Actually... I don't care because Solon isn't me... Hm... Weird dream, though. I don't usually dream about anything on forums. If anything, my dreams include flying, some sort of movie monster after me, and very strange endings...))
Man, getting shot sucks! Solon decided, at a loss at what to do. Alright, I'll just hang in for a bit longer and see if I can stab him or something. Maybe if I get it just right... Then again, I really do enjoy living. Maybe I could try covering the wounds up? Solon continued to go over idea after idea that went through his mind, trying to form the perfect plan while Zarani laid as a puddle, motionless.
((It was the other way around. You know you care, but that's what happens when nobody's posting and I start making up my own stories. XD))
Jas growls a bit, feeling that some of this is her fault. 'I shoulda just killed that mutha then and there...'
((Two guys and a girl? Well, course it was... It was your dream... I'm betting on Harver and... Venice? Or possibly Kai? Oh wait, the girl was Jas, right? And I do that sometimes, just not with this RP.))
I wonder if it would work if I just stabbed Zarani as a puddle of blood, Solon thought. It would probably just go through him like it would a normal puddle of blood and he'll jump on me. Wow, atleast this isn't one of my good days. If this was a good day for me that would be sad. Well, compared to every other day this is about the same... Wow, I need to stop getting out so much.
((Yes it was Jas and it was HarverxJasxSolon. XD Maybe because it seems like 20 and T_L are hardly here anymore. ;_; This Sh0rTi has to go though because she's sleepy. Night!))
((I'm not sure if I want you to go to sleep now. I just hope Harver and Solon didn't spend much or any time together >.>... I kind of wonder what they looked like in your dream, but I have a feeling you didn't give my guy any credit so I'm not asking D=. Anyway, night... And this time it better be two girls with Solon!))

((I didn't make your guy ugly BoA. -_-; And when this fight gets done, I'm sure everyone will have something to do.))

((What time was it when Harver visited? It's probably an hour later then whatever time it was then... But, should we just continue waiting for Zarani or do something if he doesn't make a post eventually?))

((What time was it when Harver visited? It's probably an hour later then whatever time it was then... But, should we just continue waiting for Zarani or do something if he doesn't make a post eventually?))
((Harver visited at about 11 at night. So it would probably about midnight, then. Perfect. Everything is going exactly as I had forseen.))
((Shit... LS has that mad scientist look on his face... What's he plotting?))
Harver created another portal on the wall of his room, and stepped through it. He emerged on the deck, but behind the cabins so that the others couldn't see him. Perfect... I'm glad that it doesn't waste too much energy creating a portal between short distances. He looked up at the sky. It's still dark out, even better. With that, he began to shapeshift.
Jas glances over her shoulder, getting a slight feeling that they're being watched, but shakes it off and looks forward again.
Harver - now an owl - flew up and watched the battle from the sky. He then supposed it was too much work, so he fluttered down onto the edge of the Crow's Nest. He perched there, and began to watch.
Solon took his eyes off the pool of blood and stared at the owl. That looks like the same owl from before, Solon remembered. It flew here right before Harver made his visit.
Jas is now standing by Solon. "Taking your eyes off the fight?"
((brb *Runs off to take a shower while she can*))
"You call this a fight?" Solon asked, grinning slightly. "I'm not exactly up to fighting a battle I can't win. This is more like, 'Don't let the evil pool of blood touch you' more then a fight."
((Sorry, I've been MIA for awhile. Stuff I needed to fix... And now I have errands to run. Be back later.))

"Easy!" said Venice. "Stay away from the Evil Pool of Blood and ignore it! Hopefully, it'll leave you alone!"
((Ew... You should see a doctor about that.))
((I said I was kidding jeeze, Mr. Sarcastic. XD))
"When it kills you in your sleep," Jas starts. "Don't blame me."
((I know. I got bored and had to say something.))
"Hey, I didn't say that's what I would do. But it does sound like something Solon might do."

(( That bastard annoys me. Also... I probably should rejoin this... >_> But not be with the group. Have my own Boogie side story. :P ))
((Good idea, Joe. I thought that's what you were going to do until you totally resigned.))
"You do realize I'm right here!?" Solon shot back with annoyance to Venice. "And yes, I'm such an idiot that I'll just roll in the pile of blood and die. Because, what do I know, anyway?" I don't have time for this right now, Solon deciding, turning back to Zarani. I've got way too much on my mind...
"Glad you admit it," said Venice sarcastically.

((Good idea, Joe. I thought that's what you were going to do until you totally resigned.))
((Yeah, just put Boogie and Shantae as 'Outside of the group' and make sure it says 'Fighting his brother' not 'helping' ))
"All I was trying to say is watch your back," Jas sighs. "Can't care for a friend?"
((Got it ;). All done.))
"Yeah well, I think with my life on the line you can trust I'll be pretty careful," Solon snapped back. He didn't believe that himself, but he said it determindely anyway.
Venice smirked. "You trusted Harver. Look how that turned out. You trusted Zarani, to an extent. And look what happened. Do you think that trusting yourself will turn out any better?"
"Fine," Jas sheathes her blades. "I won't help anymore. When your ass gets into some poop, don't expect me to do anything," she throws down a smoke bomb once again, and when it clears, she's nowhere to be seen... but where'd she go?
((Yep, Jas ran out. It's possible to get her to come back though.))
"No... C'mon Jas," Solon whined, looking around the boat. "You know that's not what I meant... I really do need the help." Crap, I think I just got myself killed, Solon thought to himself. Maybe Venice is right... Then he turned to Venice and said, "Maybe you're right... I don't think I can trust myself."
The Boogie Side Story: Chapter 1!
(XD I totally need a banner.)
Boogie made a quick turn. Tripping, he regained his balance, and continued on. He made another turn into a dark alley. "Go, go, go." He said in a loud whisper, making hand motions. A large amount of flames coming around the corner he had just come from. "Oh, shi-" A flame hit his rear end as he picked up his pace. He jumped the wall at the end of the alleyway. He landed hard on his heel.
"Oooooh! F-" He screamed and cursed.
"What happened to not getting noticed!?" He looked over, Shantae was looking at him with an angry face.
He pushed himself off of the ground. "It didn't work out. Let's go, go, go!" He grabbed her hand and began running full speed again. More flames spat out, and crushed the brick wall they were hiding behind.
Boogie looked back to get one quick look at his brother. He was running after them and had an angry smirk on his face. It was almost like he knew he was gonna catch them, though Boogie wouldn't let that happen.
"Use it." He said, still running.
"I think we can out run him." Shantae said back.
"Jump, then use it." He said, almost to calmly.
She looked back, for only a second, to see a large amount of flames being shot at their feet. They both jumped in unison, avoiding them.
"Oh, I see what you did there." She said to Boogie, sarcastically. "Teleport!" She screamed, as they disappeared in a puff of white smoke.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They landed with a hard thump on a soft, grassy surface.
"Fuck! My ass hurts." Said Boogie in a loud tone.
"Keep it down! He could be anywhere!" Shantae replied, smaking him over the head.
Boogie looked around while rubbing his underside. It was dark out, the stars shone in the sky. He couldn't see much of it, though, as the trees covered it. He looked down at the grass. There were random patches of earth. He looked over at Shantae. She wasn't in her normal Ninja outfit. She was in her 'civilian' clothes. He looked at her for a long time without realizing. She really was beautiful.
He took another look around. Past a group of trees, he noticed a cave.
"We could go there to hide!" Boogie said excitedly.
"Yes, but lets hope nothing else is there already." Shantae replied, as they began walking over.
((@Boogie's Story: XD))
"Trust is foolish. It only leads to trouble," said Venice bitterly.
(( Glad you liked it! =P ))
((The flames to Boogie's rear end was... humorous, to say the least.))
((T_L stole what I was gonna say. Boogie's story. XD))
Jas is somewhere in town, hiding. 'They say you don't know what you have until it's gone. Maybe I should go for good.'
(( Oh snapz, Jas went byebye! :'(
You better not start a Jas Side Story!!! :robotangry: ))
((Cool xD, maybe you'll meet up with the group again. If only for a couple of minutes before running away from the flames shooting at your ass :P ))
"Then why are you here?" Solon asked Venice. "It takes trust to be in a group like this." Solon tried keeping an eye on the pool of blood while searching around for Jas at the same time. He checked the whole boat, but didn't find her. Crap, she must have went into town, Solon thought with a sigh. He debated looking for her or staying on the boat. Leading Zarani into town would actually be helpful, Solon realized, taking a few steps back towards the dock.
"Zarani, if you can catch me then you can have the ship, no fight necessary. Should be easy, right?" Solon called out to him and jumped off the ship and into Scalus.
Tanbar shot a look at Solon. "W-What!? Hey! This is my-"
"Our- hic- ship." Lanbar interupted.
"...Our ship that you're putting on the line! I don't know about you but I like my ship!" Tanbar said angrilly.
Harver flew off the Crow's Nest, and followed Solon from above. Half his attention was on Solon, and the other half was on looking for Jas.
Venice pondered Solon's question. Fool. You'd think he'd learn after being betrayed by Harver and Zarani. Trust will get him killed.
Solon noticed the owl flying above him. That owl reminds me of someone, Solon thought, paying slight attention to it as he continued his search. "Don't worry!" Solon called over his shoulder to Lanbar and Tanbar. "I'm not going to let anything happen!"
(( Wait... you guys are in Scalus? I am too! lolololololololol >_> I didn't realize that you guys were. XD ))
"You better not." Tanbar muttered to himself. "You should go with him just in case."
"Right-o." He said running clumsilly to Solon.
Jas sits in a dark alley, glaring at the wall in front of her. She smacks a random rat with one of her nunchucks.
((brb mom wants me to drive her somewhere. Nevermind... apparently, she's waiting on something.))

((brb mom wants me to drive her somewhere. Nevermind... apparently, she's waiting on something.))
(( Well, since your free, do you think you can drive me to Japan? I want to play some Brawl Demo! <3 ))
Harver saw a figure leaning against an alley wall. Flying further down, he saw that it was Jas. He started his descent, and ended up perching on a piece of metal, not too far away from her.
((Take me, too! <3))
Solon noticed the owl go into one alley way and followed it. He was surprised when he found Jas in it. He glanced to make sure he wasn't on hot pursuit before sitting against the opposite wall. "Hey..." he greeted, expecting a cold look or something in return. "You're the one who said we shouldn't be leaving the group now when I almost did," he reminded her. "And besides, you're going to let something I said get you down? C'mon, what about everyone else? I'm just one idiot, you can't let something I do make you give up on the rest of the team..."
((So Jas was hiding in Scalus?))
The owl pecked at some dirt caught in his wings. He fluttered them slightly, trying to get the most coverage. While doing this, he was still listening intently.

(( Woh... where did you come from? XD ))
Venice walked into town to find Jas. Of all of them, she'll probably be of the most use. But she'll need to return to the group for that.
The rat Jas had hit with her nunchaku is headed right for Harver. Jas looks up at Solon still somewhat annoyed. "Who said I was gonna leave? You didn't need my help, so I let you do whatever."
((Too bad I don't actually have my license and there's no way to drive on water. :P And yes, Jas and everyone else is in Scalus.))
((So. We can all pitch in and buy some custom car.))
The rat hit Harver square in the chest. He lost his balance, and fell to the ground. The flimsy metal he had perched on broke, and hit the floor with a clank. Harver flew up onto another piece of metal, safe from any more rats.
((What happened?))

Jas jumps up and draws her twin blades once more. "The hell was that?"
((10 members looking at this board with 5 here. XD))
"Well I guess, It's time to settle something" Kai walks off the ship for an unknown reason.
Venice turned into an alley, finding Solon, Jas, and a slightly flustered owl.
"Am I interrupting?" he said, noticing Jas's unsheathed blades.

"No," Jas says. "Something just... Something, someone's here, and not knowing who is buggin' me..."
((*looks at front page* Why is Harver still listed as part of the gang? ::) You should have a list for The Gang, Outside the Gang, and Dead Men. :P))
The owl looked at Jas quizzically, and cocked his head to one side.
"Hm," muttered Venice. He looked up at the owl. That owl... It seems familiar.
"It's just that owl," Solon sighed. "It seems really familiar, though. And it came on our ship right before Harver showed up before..."
Kai knocked on the door to what appeared to be an abandoned building, a shady character appeared " Kai, welcome back, the family missed ya" They both dissapeared inside.
"It's been on the ship before then too." said Venice, recognition dawning on him.
The owl hooted softly, staring at the small group of adventurers.

Venice stared at the owl suspiciously. "Didn't Harver turn into an owl before?"
"Kai, something is bugging me" "what is it Don Scalini" "The dead men" "What about them"
"They need to be, Exterminated" "It shall be done Don Scalini" Kai left the building and looked for the others.

"Kai wait!" the shady character from before ran up to Kai, "What is it father" "The Don said make it look like an accident" "Got it" Kai turneed around and walked away.
((now I'll brb))
Zarani looked shiftily around the deck, having been silent for a really long time. The pool began to shake and from it rose a giant wolf like form. "Alright, mates. Let's see who's afraid of the big bad wolf." The blood began to drip off of it, running down onto the deck. "Let's see how my puppy can kill you... He can crush you, eat you... Many more different ways, but why spoil the fun of finding out? Oh, and it's made of blood." The wolf let out a blood curdling howl as it finished materializing.
The owl tensed as he heard a howl in the distance.
Zarani materialized next to it and looked around with a scowl. "...Oh, darn. They're gone." He sighed.
Kai heard the wolf in the distance " what the hell"
"A wolf...?" Jas frowns. "Here?"
((By the way, the wolf is way bigger than all of the people))
((So basically a giant Sesshomaru blood wolf *Sweatdrop* Okay.))

Tanbar, who was still on the ship, saw the large wolf formed from blood and quickly went to hiding behind a bunch of barels. Please don't see me. Please don't see me!
Solon looked in the direction of the howl. "It's coming from the ship..." Solon said quietly. He stared a few more moments before breaking into a run towards the ship. He got on to find a giant blood wolf. Solon stood wide eyed at the beast. "Oh... sh**," he cursed, backing away slightly.
Tanbar peeked out at the sound of Solon's voice. "Uh oh, this won't be good." He said as softly as he could.
Venice ran after Solon. "That thing looks like it's made out of blood! Zarani's work obviously."
"Well," Jas had followed them, blades drawn. "We can unmake it," she says, a spell already at the tip of her tongue.
Lanbar was close behind the others but was a bit late from his chronic stumbling. He finally got to the ship and all that came out was. "What...the -hic- hell isss that!?"
Zarani stood leaned over against the wolf. "Oh, hi." He said, giving a short wave. "Sorry, but he jusy wanted to play so much... And now I kill you all!" He smiled evilly. "Now. Feeling like giving me the Gem?" He folded his arms behind his back and a small squadron of mosquitos flew out of the cut in his hand. They looked like ordinary bugs, except they were made of blood as well. They all quickly flew off, unable to be seen by the others.
"I thought you weren't going to help?" Solon asked, glancing at Jas. "Not that we don't need it, cause we definitely do."
"No. You refused, so the offer no longer stands." He said, shaking his head.
Tanbar saw the guys talking. Well...It seems that Zarani hasn't noticed me yet...thankfully. He then saw what seemed to be little specks of some sort of bug come out of his hand. Now what the heck is that?
"You're not getting the gem," Jas has one of the blades pointed at Zarani.
"Sorry bud, I think we've went over this already. You get out of here, or we get rid of you. But you aren't getting anything from us," Solon growled at him, taking out his sword.
Naive, thought Venice. Their chances are next to non-existant. Oh well. As long as Solon is still alive, the Dead Men don't get their hands on the Crescent Gem.
((Something tells me this fight isn't gonna finish anytime soon...))
'We win this no matter what,' Jas' eyes narrow a bit.
((It's the ultimate, neverending fight of death! [Rated R for Violence and Jas/Harver based romance.]))
((Must... speed... things... up...))
Solon lunged at Zarani with his sword, rapidly cutting at Zarani and slicing at him in every direction. "Get off our ship!" Solon hissed at him through gritted teeth.

Venice went along with the other two, slashing at Zarani with his knife.
Zarani stood motionless as everything hit him. His entire body was cut up, and then suddenly healed itself. "Oh. That tickles." He said, his nose reattaching to his face. "Kill them." The wolf swiped his claw forward at all of them, showering blood forward. "And don't forget me." He said, stabbing forward with the knuckle buster.

The Boogie Side Story: Chapter 2!
( I got a banner, XD )
Shhht!
The fire burst on at the end of the stick Shantae was holding from the matches in the other hand. Boogie and her walked around the cave. It was cold and damp, the floor had small rocks all over the place. Boogie decided to kick one. It flew into the black darkness. Boogie stared there, where he kicked the rock, for a long while. He almost expected a reaction. From what, he did not know, but he expected something back. He turned around to Shantae with a frown.
"What's wrong?" She said.
"It's nothing," He started, "I just expected some sort of r- OW!"
"Some sort of what?" She replied, puzzled.
"Some reaction, and I think I just got one."
A rock had come and hit him in the back of the head. He turned around, and picked up several rocks and chucked them back into the darkness. Nothing happend for several minutes.
"Maybe it rebounded off of a wall?" Shantae said from behind him.
"No. I didn't throw it th- Oh poop! MOVE!" He jumped and tackled Shantae down as a giant boulder came flying threw the air. It flew passed them with a great force. "What the intercourse was that!?"
"A monster, I presume." Shantae replied.
"Well... not to be rude, babe, but DUUH."
Another boulder came flying in their direction, they both jumped out of the way.
"Lets go get this sonuvaninny." Boogie said, unsheathing his sword as he ran into the darkness.
Crap! Well it seems that he can heal his skin...but what about... Tanbar continued to hide there thinking about what he would do. Lanbar, on the other hand, decided to go for a straight out attack and threw a kick at his feet followed by a punch to the stomach.
Venice dodged the knuckle buster and tried to jump away from the blood wolf's claw. Unfortunately, it managed to get a cut on his arm. That's not good, he thought, backing away from the enemy. It's not a serious wound. I can still fight, but I need to watch out for that blood now.
Jas is nowhere near the knuckle buster, but she sees the wolf's claw coming. She back flips over it, then twirls her blades.
Zarani keeled forward slightly, bending over as he got hit in the stomach but jabbing at Lanbar's own stomach with his knuckle buster.
((g2g))
'If we can't cut him,' Jas thinks. 'Then would... suffocating him work? It should. He controls blood. Stop the blood and...' Jas starts twirling her right blade. "Hope you're thirsty," jets of water rush up from under Zarani repeatedly... faster and faster as her weapon spins.
Solon dodged Zarani's attack but was slammed in the side by the claw. He felt some of the blood splatter against his side and he covered his wounds from the blood, hoping to block any passage way in. Jas's idea better be good, Solon thought, wincing from the new cut on his arm.
Harver began to circle the battle from above. Damn! I hate not being able to do anything...
You have to obey Kerow at any cost!
I know, but... He landed in another alleyway, in a good position to watch the fight and at the same time not be seen. He began to shapeshift again.
Zarani panicked for a moment, then watched as some of the blood from the wolf came flying into the water. Instantly it began to turn bright pink. "Hahaha... HAHAHA!!! I hope you are too!" He said, beginning to manipulate the water. He started shooting wave after wave across the deck.
Kai reached the ship "Now wheres that Zarani?, Come out and Play" Kai said drawing his sword.
"If you try drowning us, you'll be going down with the ship," Solon reminded Zarani as the waves washed over the boat. "I don't think killing yourself will really help you now, will it?"
Kai saw Solon and ran over "Hey, what the hell is going on?"
"Zarani is trying to drown us all," Solon explained to Kai. "The blood spilled into the water and now he can control it." There must be some way to stop him from controlling the sea, Solon thought. Hm...
"Ice, that freezes water quickly"
((But it'd be water from Jas' spell, not off the ship...))
"Son of a ninny," Jas' words get a bit more colorful. She dodges some of the water, but the liquid that does hit her blade gets pushed back at Zarani with fresh jets from her spells.
"Well Solon, you figure something out I'll hold him off"
"Wait," Jas says, before Kai runs off. "I got somethin', suffocation," she whispers, low enough so her enemy doesn't hear. "He controls blood, but if we cut the blood flow, we got him."
I'm definitely not the brains of this group, Solon thought, but nodded at Kai. "Be careful, he can control blood, and he's quite good at it," Solon warned Kai.Right... A way to stop Zarani... Well, wouldn't killing his heart work? That happens to be the source of all his blood... It would take one perfect aim, but we could definitely pull that off. Solon ran over to one end of the boat in search of something long and sharp. Solon overheard Jas talking to Kai. Hm... That could work, too. And it'd be much easier...
Kai turned to Jas "Yeah, so I stab his heart got it"
Harver watched intently, and moved on to the deck of this ship. He hid behind one of the masts. What are they planning...?

Kai turned to Jas "Yeah, so I stab his heart got it"
"..." Jas resists the urge to slap Kai upside the head. "Haven't you been paying attention? Cutting and stabbing doesn't work!" She hisses. "Didn't you see how he got all scared when I sent that water at him? We have to actually cut off his air supply."
((Thanks, LS. Congrats on 4K. Wow, almost at the same time xD))
"Yeah, choke him to death," Solon replied with a nod, walking over to Jas and Kai. "Someone occupy him while another rings his neck!"
"Ghh... Are you guys on something today?" Jas sighs, slightly agitated. "What makes you think up and doin' that would work?" She starts mentally going through what equipment she has. "I have some things that might work, but... I don't want to hurt you guys..."
I bet my idea would work... Solon thought, sad his idea was shot down so quickly. "Eh, what harm is another scratch or two?" Solon replied with a shrug. "Try your idea, but if it doesn't work, I wanna do mine!"
"Solon..." Jas looks sad for a moment. "The maniac can manipulate blood. You really want to take a chance like that now?"
Solon didn't reply but rather looked over at Zarani. "What's your plan, anyway?" he asked her instead.
Harver looked from Solon, and then to Zarani. Tsk... they're taking too long to form a plan. Zarani shall finish them in no time, at this rate. Harver nodded.
What should I do?
Obey Kerow's orders, for now. If things get out of hand, step in.
"Carbon Monoxide," Jas says. "It replaces oxygen in the blood. If oxygen can't get through the body, ya can't live. I have some on me."
"I won't even ask why you carry that around," Solon replied with a sigh. "So, we'll just be careful that it only hits Zarani. I think I can atleast manage that."
"That could work, but it might be too risky," commented Venice.
"What? Carbon what-hic-oxide?" Lanbar said still stumbling around. "That'ssss the sssstuff we breathe out, right?"
"Because it's a gas that can't be detected," Jas glances at Solon and Venice. "You still have one of those masks I gave you and the others, right?" She sighs. "No Lanbar, we breathe out Carbon DIoxide..."
((Taking Chemistry this year actually HELPS somewhat. XD))
"What, you were giving out free masks!?" Solon exclaimed. "Why didn't I get one? I love free stuff..."
Zarani stood waiting, listening to everything. "Sheez, you all take to long to formulate some kind of plan." He said, watching all his insects land on the arms and legs of the different people. "Well... I suppose I might have to do something about all this."
"...oh...what's the difference. It's only one oxygen -hic- molecule." He said taking a drink of some wine he just happened to grab.
((Science and ninjas, they go perfectly together...And Lanbar needs to learn his chemistry. -_-; ))
"You did-" Jas sighs. "Here," she throws a mask at Solon along with some of the Carbon Monoxide marbles. She looks at Zarani. "Plan? We were having a very deep and intelligent conversation until you interrupted."
((They were taking too long because Orgizirtee took too long to post. We're easily distracted like that :P))

((XP I like what I changed it to.))
Tanbar saw the others put on the masks. I wonder what's going on...hopefully, I'll be far enough away from what's probably going to be a gas attack...Hm, whats this? Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a bow and arrow, some string and some oil. Well...better make a back-up plan just in case this fails. He reached over and started doing some things with the materials.
((lulz at change. XD))
((Psssh... I wasn't easily dis- Ooh, butterfly! *runs after butterfly* ))
Solon caught the mask and marbles and put on the mask. This better work, he thought.
"Let's go," Jas rushes at Zarani, seemingly reading for a sword attack.
"Bite her." He said, hardly paying attention that she was at him. The mosquito on her leg sank it's pincers and sucker-thingy into the skin and began to do what looked like it was sucking her blood, but was actually injecting Zarani's blood in.

((lulz...sucker-thingie....But then again, I don't know the name of that thing either. >_> <_<))
No! Harver saw Zarani cast his musquito. Time! Time was frozen, and Harver rushed to Zarani. What the hell are you doing?!
I can't let this happen! He rushed behind Zarani, grabbing his head with his hand and his blade securely wrapped around his neck. Do you know what you're doing?!
I'm not going to stand back now. Time! Time resumed.
At the same time, Jas threw the Carbon Monoxide bombs down. The whole deck is immediately covered and surrounded in the toxic gas. She smacks at the mosquito on her leg. "Damnit!"
(( Interesting, and at the same time, Bloody Tears (IIDX EDITION) is playing. http://profile.imeem.com/SyrthR/music/qkkuKxOy/dj_yopoopaka_bloody_tearsiidx_edition/ ))
Tanbar quickly ducks behind the barrels and covers his mouth with his shirt just in case. Was it me...Or did I see Harver out there for a second...
"Oh, shi-!" Time! Harver ran away as soon as the gas came out. He ran back behind the mast. Time...
Didn't I tell you something like that would happen?!
Shut... up...
"Hahaha..." A small portion of blood from the wolf wrapped itself around Zarani's mouth and hardened, creating a mask for himself. "Jas, love. Be so kind as to remove this bloke from my neck." He laughed again.
((Oh, at a post you made earlier... I was originally modelling him after Jack Sparrow, but then I decided everyone would get mad at me for doing that. XP))
((I opened my PotC dvd just as I read that. XD))
Jas just glares at Zarani, noticing that there's no cover on his nose. "..." 'It'll be too late by the time he notices. Even the smallest amount is bad.'
((lol irony. XD))
...Did...Did he forget to cover his nose? Tanbar just stared at the scene...just about the same way that Jas was. "..."
Zarani looked back and forth between the two then sighed... And realized his nose was uncovered. "AGH! IT CAN'T! SPREAD!" He screamed as he felt the gas going into his body.
"One choice..." His head exploded into blood, the rest of his body going with it until a large, solid puddle of blood was on the ground. "Eyeck... I can't breathe..." He looked at Jas from the blood. "You. My mosquito is in you now. Your blood is mine... Take off your mask!"
"If I don't?" Jas' voice is seething with venom. She glares at the puddle of blood.
((I take it nobody listened to bloody tears... X.x))
That was...odd. Tanbar let his guard down and put down the bow and arrow. "I guess I won't be needing to use that." Wait...mosquito...Didn't I see something like that before near Zarani?
Crap... Harver looked at the scene.
Could this be a stalemate?
...Perhaps. Jas can't let the venom spread, and Zarani needs to breathe.
((g2g I'll try to post before school tomorrow.))
((For future reference, the "sucker-thingy" seen on most insects is called a "proboscis." And I probably murdered the word.))
Jas hasn't said anything else. If she has to take Zarani down with her, she will.
"Wait Zarani," Solon warned, trying to think of a way out of this. "Don't do anything rash without thinking things through... You may find a better deal from us, something you can't get from taking Jas." After all this is done people better stop calling me stupid, Solon thought to himself.
"Oh, so now we're making deals with the enemy?" Jas growls. 'You better know darn well what you're doing!'
"I'm sorry, did you want to die?" Solon shot back, keeping his voice light and calm. Now, I just need to finalize my plan. If I can do this right, no one may have to die, Solon thought, making last second adjustments to his own trade-off idea.
Jas holds back her 'smart-ass' remarks that are likely to hurt, and looks at the ground.
((Go post in Pepper BoA))
Venice managed to restrain himself from calling Solon an idiot or something similar, but barely.
"Well?" Jas glances up at the others.
"Don't look at me, this is Solon's plan." Tanbar said to Jas.
"God Damn It, KILL HIM ALREADY!" Kai shouted in frustration.
Solon turned to Zarani, choosing his words carefully. "Killing Jas may not help you as much as you think, more then likely you'll just die along with her. You see, I've got a special connection to one of the gems that the Dead Men have. So, only I can actually touch it. If you agree to leave this ship and the crew alone, I'll agree to take the Scale gem and come with you in search of the Dead Men. You'll need me if you plan on getting the gems, plus it seems the Dead Men follow me a lot, so you'll find them faster if I'm around," Solon explained. "If you ask me, you'll get a lot more out of me then what you will get if you don't take up my offer."
Jas looks at Solon. "Wait a minute...I didn't do all that to get the gem just to risk a crazed pirate getting it!" 'Besides, I still need to get my jewel...'
He watched Solon. "Get rid of the gas." He commanded.
"Do you agree to my terms? You get me, I get the Scale gem, and the rest of them get the boat. Got it?" Solon asked, ignoring Jas's comment.
Harver continued to listen to the negotiation attempts. I just hope neither of them do something incredibly... stupid.
Jas glares at them. 'There's no way to get rid of the gas, and now the boat's pretty much useless to us...' She starts to get more agitated as the conversation goes on.
Lanbar started becoming more sober as he listened to the conversation. That can't be good. We can't just let Solon go and take the Scale Gem and leave us...I gotta do something. He silently went down below deck without being noticed and went toward Jas's room.
((btw Jas has the gem on her, under her armor, under her shirt... under her... underwear.
But go right ahead and look in her room. XD))
Jas stands there. Her grip on her weapons tightens.
((Um. Thanks for the detail?))
((You know you wanted to hear it. :P))
((How did you kno- Er... I mean. Um. Oh crap.))
((Jas: *Jumps out of RP and kills T_L**Goes back into RP*))

((Jas: *Jumps out of RP and kills T_L**Goes back into RP*))
((...Right then.))
((Okay, I'm done being silly... for now... Someone hurry up and do something.))
((If you insist...))
"Zarani, if you don't get off this boat you are going to die," Solon warned him. "Doesn't matter who you take down with you, you'll be gone as well. Then none of this will be worth it anymore."
((I meant hurry up an RP, not hurry up and kill my char... X.x))
"WHAT!?" Jas growls, all trust for Solon just about gone.
"I didn't say kill you," Solon pointed out, trying to calm Jas down. "I said it would be pointless for him to kill you because he'll just die along with you and then none of this will be worth it. His only chance of surviving if he just leaves this boat." He turned back over to Zarani. "I'll come with you, but you've taken too long to make a decision. So, now you don't get the boat or the Scale Gem. Only me, which I am good for two things. Dead Men magnet, which you'll need, or getting one of the gems, which only I can touch. Either that, or face death." Hm... That seems like a much better revised plan, Solon decided to himself. That way, the others can continue looking for the other gems and still have the Scale Gem with them. Then if I die, they'll be able to take the Crescent Gem. Just got to make sure I don't die too early... Or not at all would also be good.
((Cue the crazy fangirls and their yaoi fanfics/art...))
Jas calms down some, but still doesn't trust much.
((XD, but if he tries touching me in that way >.>... I'll pull a Jas and nueter him.))
Solon was smirking, thinking about his plan. I guess I owe Jas some credit with that whole gas idea, but I think we've just about won the impossible. As long as they aren't idiots and don't find the gems before Zarani and I do.
((What if it's the other way around? >.>))
Jas starts to lower her blades slightly while keeping herself in a defensive stance, only because she knows there's no point in fighting unless she needs to.
"Crap, the don is not gonna like this" Kai whispered to himself.
He ran off the ship and headed to the abandoned building.

Harver watched Kai run away.
Now who's the traitor?
((Do you KNOW what I found after I said "What!? Sesshomaru/InuYasha? Pfft..."?
And look what comes up when you type it in here. XD http://www.lovecalculator.com/))
Jas turns to the exit of the ship to see Kai running. 'Now what?'
Kai turned around corner and ran into alley where the building was and knocked on the door rapidly.'Open up, I got news for the Don" the door opened and Kai walked in.
Jas glances at each of the remaining group members.

((What, you don't think Solon could get a guy like that xP? And Shorti, you shouldn't be making fun of Solon. He's saving your characters ass right now. Well, really I am with my awesome typing skills. But I'll let him take the credit.))
Solon watched Kai run off the ship.
Jeez, by the way he's running he must need to go to the bathroom pretty bad! Solon thought to himself.
"what now Kai" "good news and bad news" "Bad news first""One of the dead men have escaped, sort of" "How......." "Hard to explain" "Good news" I know where Another one is"
"excellent, Go find him, and bring me his head" "I'll try" Kai left for the ship.
((I wasn't making fun. It was just a random thought that popped in my head... *Nods* What pops up on that lovecalulator thing when you put that in anyways? 0.0))
Jas holds back a sigh and prepares for the worst.
Kai walked back on the ship"I'm back from, "Family" business" Kai said " What now"
((*checks* Uh... N-Nothing o.o;;. Only like 2% compatible *cough cough*... XD Harver and Jas got 43%. Hm... What else can we try? *evil smile* ))
((Prnt Scrn ftw!(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b60/Keigoe/Random%20Stuff/PrntScrnftw.jpg)))
"We wait," Jas says. She has other hidden weapons ready, just in case.
"Well while thats going on I have a confession to make"
"Great, more drama," Jas says sarcastically. "Spill it."
(( Put that away ;_; ))
Solon looked over at Kai. "What? If you are about to tell us you're a traitor, we've got enough of those at the moment, thanks," Solon told him, hoping Venice wouldn't be completely right about trusting people.

(([Simpsons Movie] *crosses fingers* gay gay gay gay gay gay! [/Simpsons Movie] XD :P This is what popped into my mind when I read that.))
"What could it be now?" Tanbar said to himself.
((I DID type SolonxKai into that Love Calculator... Along with every other pairing I could think of. =P))
Jas stands there, a hand on her hip. "Well?"
"Im Not a traitor, I'm in the mafia" Kai Pasued for a moment " Now you know okay?, I'm still staying with the group"
"Telling us this now helps how?" Jas asks. "I mean, yeah, we should know, but..."
(( Solon goes well with every single one of you XD. 60% and up. In other words, Solon makes straight men gay, and girls squeal when he walks into a room xP ))
"M...Mafia?" Solon asked, surprised. "Huh... I'm more surprised then I think I should be. So, what does this mean, exactly?"
((I just found that out. XD Solon's freaky in teh sheets then... 0.0))
Jas waits for an answer, wanting to know the same thing.
((What the hell have you been doing with those love calculators?!) )
((Calculating love. Got some interesting results too. :P))
Harver's eyes narrowed. Mafia, huh?
Elite assassins...
Hate to be blunt, but Kai there isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. He gets in to fights recklessly, not something a mafiosi would do. Something's up...
(( Interesting? More like desired results. I think this calculator captured me quite well. ))
((You want 73% for SolonxMichael Jackson?))
Jas starts getting somewhat impatient.
((Woah... Harver and Jas got a 93%. O_O At least, for me. Notice how it says "full names". I gave Harver a last name in the RP originally, so go and try to find it. ;) I'll edit this for more calculations I get... Note that I only do straight couples.
Kai and Trin: 00% XD
Kai and Shantae: 14%
Kai and Jas: 01% O_O
Boogie and Jas: 76%
Zarani and Jas: 01%))
(( Sure, I take the credit for MJ. He wouldn't have loved boys so much if it wasn't for me. ))
((XD BoA.

(( Hey there, Jas *wink*... @T_L and LS- Told you Solon is over 60% with everyone xD. ))
Solon turned his attention between both Zarani and Kai. As soon as we hear from both of them, we can get this quest and ship moving again, Solon decided, not sure whether he would be joining everyone else or not.
((XD))
Jas starts to run off again, but decides against it, knowing that the others would probably come after her.
((Ahem... What. The. Fuck. Zarani is not gay in the least, you pervy fangirls who demand everyone to be gay... That includes you for bringing it up, BoA))
Zarani rematerialized from the blood, the mask still over his face. "Hm," Was all he said.

((... Bam. I just put the name of the girl I like and my name shortened I'm usually called by into that. 15% chance. I put in my full name, 85%. I feel like listening to Break Apart Her Heart now.^^))
((I was the one who brought it up. Dun yell at BoA. I was just saying that if this were an animé, then there would be crazy fangirls writing that... stuff... >.> I'm not one of them.))
"Come to a decision?" Jas asks, her voice emotionless.
((Annnd Congrats. =D Annnd g2g))
((...Shh, he agreed with you.))
He nodded his head, and then snapped his fingers. Tiny drops blood came shooting out of the body of everyone but him, making an odd red mist that vanished in moments. "Alright, I just removed my blood from all of you." He put his eyepatch and bandana back on. "I can get blood in through anywhere on your body at all, and my mosquito's help with that." He explained, everywhere on his skin returning to it's usual colour.
Harver watched in anticipation. So, is this it?
Tanbar was shocked as the blood came out of him. Woah! I didn't even notice him do that... At the same time, Lanbar came up onto the deck.
'Ick, creepy thought,' Jas stops herself from shivering, and says nothing else.
(( I didn't agree with her, I just said I'd kill you if you tried touching me like that... ))
Solon watched the blood leave his body, glad Zarani was choosing the smarter route. "So then, I guess you and I'll leave the rest of this fine crew alone then. They've got plenty of things to do and you have plenty of Dead Men to avenge," Solon said to Zarani. I don't think I have anything I'd like to take with me, Solon thought, double checking that he had everything.
"Well , It matters because Don Scalini will have my head if I don't bring in dead men heads, Understand?"
"We're getting them," Jas says to Kai. She looks at Solon. "You... really think you should go?"
"That was the plan," Solon reminded her. "I can't back out of it now."
"I see," Jas goes over to the deck and looks out at the water. "We'll probably meet up again anyways. Keep your ass outta trouble."
"well, what now?"
"We go..." Jas thinks for a bit. "We'll go somewhere we can get more information on the things that matter now."
Solon was about to make a suggestion, but remembered it was no longer his place. He shrugged and walked to the opposite end of the boat, waiting for Zarani so they could leave.
"ok"
Zarani strolled over next to Solon. "Alright, mates." He said, giving a small bow. "When you see us again, we will be the most bloodthirsty, ruthless, and some other fancy word, pirates in the whole world. Savvy?" He looked behind him, down at the deck. "Ooh, look." He bent down and picked up a large jar filled with an earthy substance. "I've got a jar of dirt!"
What the hell is that and what is it doing there? Solon wondered. "Er, come on Zarani, let's just get out of here..." Solon mumbled, figuring the sooner they left the better. "You can take that jar with you, whatever the hell it is." Solon began walking off the ship, keeping at a slow pace for Zarani to catch up.
((I've got a jar of dirt! http://youtube.com/watch?v=gRcj6CAhe7s XD))
Jas looks back at everyone else, "Ready?"
"Wait! Zarani, before you leave." Lanbar said running to the two. "There's something I need to ask you..."
Harver created a portal, seeing how things would turn out. Goodbye Solon. May we meet on the battlefield another day. Perhaps, someday after this, we can return to the same side. He jumped into the portal, and was gone.
"I'm ready"
Zarani looked at him, holding the jar a bit away defensively. "Yes, crewmate Lanbar?"
Jas starts heading to her room. "When we're done stalling, I think we should head for Emit."
They should go to Nimbuslus Land... That is where the Scalander Gem first originated, after all. They'd find more info on it there, Solon thought to himself. "I'll be waiting for you in town, Zarani," Solon told him. "I want to begin looking for a boat to steal so we can get out of here as fast as possible." Solon didn't bother with any good byes, he just headed off the ship and into town.
"Well...I want to come with you." He said as calmly as he could.
((GASP! Would would have thought, another betrayal! :O How origional.))
"I think I remember you from before when I think I was a part of your crew." Lanbar said. "So what do you say?"
Solon stopped, he was half way down the railing. "Wha-?" Solon gasped, turning around to face Lanbar. Now, if Tanbar came along... That would mean we'd have someone to sail us along, but it would leave the others stranded... Don't tell me everyone is just going to get back together again and pretend Zarani did nothing...?
Jas stops in her footsteps, and looks back. "..." 'This is some bull...' "You wanna go so badly, then go," she says nonchalantly. She goes into her room. 'Gotta wonder if it's easier to just be evil...'
"B-but you can't go with him!" Tanbar said trying to protest.
"Why shouldn't I?" Lanbar said turning around.
"Because...He's evil!"
"I see nothing evil about him...He just wants to kill the Dead Men. Now what's so bad about that?"
"He was trying to kill us a couple of minutes ago!"
"...So?"
"Is that all you have to say for yourself?"
"...Yeah."
"You know what. I give up. Go ahead and go with your pirate friend. I don't need you!" And with that, he stormed back down below deck.
"...Drama queen."
"Well, if Captain Jack and his 'crewmen' could just go, we can shove off," said Venice with a frown.
Jas wanders back out of her room and leans against the wall. She looks up and sees Tanbar. "Ya know... I was told, 'if someone wanna walk out outta your life, let them go.' Guess we're learnin' that the hard way, hm?"
"Can we go?" He said, stepping off the side of the ship.
"Yeah." He said following Zarani off the ship. "Let's get going."
"Fine, go ahead and go." Tanbar said still furious. "I did fine without you before...So why not now!"
(( ;_; You don't have to kick me every time... Where's the love? ))
"Where'd you learn that from?" Solon asked Jas, not thinking it was the best saying. He was pacing around the group, not sure how things were going to end up. When Zarani had spoken up, Solon walked back to Zarani's side. "Whatever you want, I guess," Solon said with a slight sigh. "You're leading this escapade."
"Alright." He looked around. "First, I want to get rid of Heronn. Have you seen him anywhere?" He asked as if it were the most casual thing to see Heronn walking down a street.
"No...not really." Lanbar said. "I have no idea."
"Sweeney's usually the guy who I meet up with..." Solon replied. "But he usually has Heronn and Steph along with him, so..." Solon began walking through the town, trying to decide the best way to get the Dead Men to come and face him.
"You know...I just remembered...I still have my replica of the Scale Gem. Maybe we could use it as some sort of trap." Lanbar said to Solon.
"Yeah! Could I see it?" Solon asked, a plan forming in his mind. This better not end up like last time I met up with Sweeney, Solon added silently in his head, hoping he'd be able to repel any suicidal attacks thrown his way.
"Sure." He said taking it out of his pocket and tossing it to him.
((Watch everyone else get kicked out the plot. -_-))
'I've done all I can.' Jas is sitting in a chair, staring at the ceiling with plans running through her head.
((Not entirely, you guys do have the Scale gem. That means the Dead Men be more after you then anything else. ))
Solon took the fake gem and walked around with it, keeping his mind totally and completely on the gem.
---
"Alright, I think you've gotten enough of a hang on portals that you can do them without help," Sweeney told Zaronn. "But there is so much for you to-" He stopped suddenly, picking some gem related info in his thoughts. Hm... This could be good practice for the newbie, Sweeney thought to himself. But this one seems to be lacking the strong gem presence. I can't be entirely sure it is the real thing. Maybe I should just send Zaronn in to check it out.
Harver came out of the portal in the study, and saw Kerow. "My lord." Harver said, slightly bowing. "The fight is over." Kerow smiled maliciously.
"And the outcome?" Harver filled him in on the battle and negotiations.
(("Not entirely?" XD))
Jas closes her eyes, deep in thought. 'It'll really come down to me not trusting anyone,' she opens her eyes. 'But I can't just...'
"The hell I can," she goes up onto the deck.
Kai saw Jas walk up on deck "What's on your mind?"
"Everything," Jas looks back at Kai. "Everything and how ridiculous things are getting..."
((I feel like I either killed the RP, or everyone's mad at me for some reason... X.x))
((Really? I feel like making some huge rant about how trusting people only leads to pain. Or something of the sort...))
Kerow nodded as Harver finished up the story. "I see... well, this indeed puts a twist on things... I suppose I'll have to talk to the Mage again about this. Stay here." Kerow commanded as he created a portal. He walked through, and was gone. Harver plopped down on a chair, and began to write.
((Hell, go right ahead...))
Jas starts burning random things with her fire magic.
((Does Jas need some sort of anger management?))
Venice came up to the deck and watched as Jas burned the random objects.
"I really hope your being careful about what you're burning. And aiming," he muttered.
((No, not at all... >.> *Sadistic eval grin*))
A flame comes up from the ground close to Venice... maybe a little too close. "I know what I'm doing..."
((You're scaring me. I get the feeling that Jas is gonna jump out of the RP and hurt someone... Again.))
The last flame came a bit too close and set left leg ablaze. He looked down at it for a moment before starting to stamp it and hope to put it out. Finally, the embers died out.
"Never. Do. That. Again," he said angrily.
((Mwahahaha))
"So I've been having a poopty day," Jas looks back out towards the waters. "Instead of going nuts, you could've let me put the fire out..." 'After I let you burn to a crisp... wait what!? Where are these thoughts coming from!?'
((Uh... Right... Eh... O_O))
"Yeah, I get the feeling you wouldn't have put it out until it was too late," he replied. "It seems like something you'd do."
((I have a reasonable explanation...
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b60/Keigoe/Avatars/thz4370534.png) :P))
"No, no it's not," Jas shakes her head. "I wouldn't do that... Not to you guys anyways."
((... XD I think I should be careful about what I say now...))
"Whatever. It doesn't matter."
((Very, very, careful. XD))
"I'm sorry," Jas starts heading back into her room with a headache, and for some reason getting more of them than reasonable.
((I get the feeling that whatever I say will probably end up in Jas getting mad at this point.))
"Yeah, yeah," muttered Venice. He went back to his room as well.
((Hey, it might... not...))
'It's just stress, it's just stress, it's just stress,' Jas pretty much throws off all her clothes and buries herself under the blankets. 'Find a place with a punching bag or somewhere to chill and I'll be fine...'
((I would say something about her throwing off her clothes, but... Well... It'd get me killed... So :-X And I g2g))
((I'm tired today, and I had no perverted thoughts about my post until you mentioned that. 0.0 and bye T_L))
Jas lays where she is, trying not to care about anything else at the moment. If anyone came in, well, light just may be the last thing they ever see.
((...You guys sure had some... fun yesterday >.>... Good thing Solon isn't around to get attacked by Jas's wrath o.o;; XD I was in a crappy mood all Friday and Saturday, so Solon probably would have just egged Jas on more...))
"Danm it's not-" Solon started to say. But then there was a sudden noise behind them. Solon turned around to see Sweeney standing behind them all right at the entrance to the alley.
"Hm..." Sweeney began. "So, it was you who has the Scale gem..." Killing two birds with one stone... Sweeney added to himself. Heronn and Steph should get here soon, I'll give it some time before the gem energy radiates towards them, as well...
Nevermind, it is working... Solon thought, suddenly nervous at seeing Sweeney in person again.
Kerow emerged in the chamber-like area, and bowed. "Lord, I have news of the battle." He told him all that Harver told him.
"Hm... Very interesting," the voice commented. "The team has split up into two seperate groups. One to destroy the Dead Men and another to uncover the gems. But, the way things are happening it seems they are weak. One team is built on trades and revenge, the other has no firm lead. Do you know where either team is heading?"
"Harver did tell me that the group to uncover the gems would head to Nimbuslus to learn more about the gems." Kerow said, remembering the conversation. "However, I do not know where the other group will go. The point is, they are dangerous to our plans. We cannot afford to lose Heronn or Sweeny, above all!"
"Sweeney has confronted Zarani's group..." the voice stated, getting an image of where Sweeney was. "Heronn and Steph will follow pursuit, apparently the group has the Scale gem. But, I believe it is a trap. The Scale gem is close by... But not where Sweeney thinks it is." The voice stayed quiet, in deep thought.
"What would you like to do about this, Kerow?" the voice finally asked.
Jas wakes up an hour later with her eyes burning slightly. "What the...?" She stumbles out of bed, and looks in a mirror. "WHAT THE FUCK!?" Her eyes are no longer dark brown, but they're now a light hazel color. She goes to scratch her head in confusion, but finds that it hurts to do so. Jas withdraws her hands from her head, and examines them to find that her nails have extended... like claws... She shuts her eyes. "I'mdreamingagainI'mdreamingagainI'mdreaming..." and opens again to see the strange features still there. "What the HELL is going on!?"
((Jas isn't going crazy. Something's actually happening to her...))
((Erm... No comment.))
Venice thought he heard Jas yelling at something, but figured it was nothing and went back to sleep.
((Haha, scared everyone away. :P))
Jas starts pacing back and forth across the room, when she gets a glimpse of the spell book in her possession. She walks over to the desk, and runs a finger through the pages. 'Mama always told me to stay outta the crossbase, and dad always had a cow when I asked about it, but... Jas shakes her head. 'The book ain't got anything to do with it. Just because I got it from there doesn't mean anything,' but something in the back of her mind tells her otherwise.
Tanbar heard Jas's screaming. "...What is going on?" He walkes over to her door hesitating to knock for a second but eventually knocks on the door. "Jas...Are you...okay?"
"Yes... No..." Jas puts on some shorts with her t-shirt, then cracks the door open.
"Um...Something seems different about you." Tanbar said only seeing her eyes. "But I can't quite say..."
"Different... yeah," Jas hides her clawed hands behind her back. "You can say that."
"Is...um...something the matter?" Tanbar said becoming more suspicious about the situation at hand.
"I don't really know what's going on," Jas shows Tanbar her hand. "I woke up with my eyes a different color, and claws..."
"Woah!" He jumped back away from the door when he saw this. "...Sorry, I...just wasn't expecting that..."
"Hmm..." Kerow thought about this. "Perhaps this Solon character is trying to lure the Dead Men into a trap, and have the others with the real Scale Gem come out and attack them." He chuckled at that. "A futile attempt, when we have the majority of the gems, not to mention our superior abilities..."
***
Harver put his notebook down and looked up at the ceiling. Things are only starting to be chaotic... it's still the calm before the storm.
That is true. We still have time.
But... Harver sighed. I have a strange feeling. Something's not right.
"Heh," Jas laughs lightly. "Some reason I knew you'd do that. I think this stuff started when I found the spells I learned... and I think it's irreversible..."
((brb))
"I-I-Ireversable!" Tanbar said thrown into even more shock. That...can't be good.
"It's just a guess, me expecting the worst," Jas says. "I still have to look into it."
((Now I'll brb))
"Hiya, Sweeney. You look like something the cat wouldn't even bother dragging in, as usual. Savvy?" He said, tilting his head to the side while looking at him.
((More XD if Zarani even comes close to resembling Jack Sparrow.))
((If Solon and Zarani are ever caught by Indians, and Zarani is thought to be a god that has to be cooked and eaten, then Zarani must call Solon a eunich. After Solon runs away, Zarani must escape, and throw fruit at fat ladies! XD))
((Whhhaa...? 0.o Okay, RPing now to get over confusion.))
Jas catches a glimpse of a huge spider in a corner of a hallway, and shocks it with her thunder spell.
((XD. You don't get it. But random spider...))
((Isn't that part of one of the Pirate movies?))
"Ah, Zarani," Sweeney greeted in a mock friendly tune. "Still alive, I see. That's... Always a pleasure." He turned his attention back to the blood red gem in Solon's hands.
Solon hid the gem behind his back, trying to make it seem like he didn't want Sweeney to know he had it.
Sweeney just chuckled and used his powers to force Solon's hands forward. He walked forward and examined the gem in Solon's hand. "This isn't real," he said plainly. "But, that isn't too much of a problem. The real gem is near, I can feel it. Plus, I have two people in this alleyway that the Dead Men have wanted dead for quite some time." He smirked and turned so he could see all three of them. "So, who's first?"
Zarani looked down at the jar, then back at Sweeney. "I see you two have much to, erm... Discuss. I'll just be elsehwere, enjoying a nice, wholesome, healthy, rum." He hugged the dirt to him and turned away.
"I hope you haven't forgotten what I can do, Zarani," Sweeney stated with a smirk. With a wave of his hands Zarani could no longer move, but was frozen in place. "You know I can access your mind and control you." With that, he made Zarani raise a hand. "Oh, is that someone volunteering to be first? Excellent..." Zarani probably has the best experience with fighting the mind controlling... Extra precaution is key...
Zarani froze in the spot. His arm rose into the air, no matter how much he tried to force it back down. "Quit moving me bloody arm," He growled at him. He snapped the arm down, and gave a suspicious look at Sweeney. "Are you eying me dirt?" He looked down at it. "Look, mate. If you wanted it you could've just bloody well asked." He threw the jar as hard as he could at Sweeney's center.
Sweeney caught it and eyed it with disgust. "What the hell?" he hissed. "I do not want a danm dar of dirt!" He threw the jar on the ground, allowing it to smash into pieces.
Lanbar stumbled up from behind Sweeney with an empty bottle of wine. He swung his arm down to smash it on his head but his drunken aim was a bit off and it was about to crash into Sweeney's shoulder.
Zarani looked at it in shock. "Is that how you treat a present? Mate, you need to take some anger management with this one wench on me ship. You and her would look great together. Oh, wait. You're a eunich, aren't you?"
((WAIT!! Please don't tell me the Scalander Gem is in the jar of dirt. =_=;; ))

"Hmm..." Kerow thought about this. "Perhaps this Solon character is trying to lure the Dead Men into a trap, and have the others with the real Scale Gem come out and attack them." He chuckled at that. "A futile attempt, when we have the majority of the gems, not to mention our superior abilities..."
"Don't get cocky," the voice warned. "They've outsmarted us too many times before. This time, I want them brought to me... Alive. Now, make sure that gets done!"
---
The bottle hit Sweeney in the shoulder. He winced and turned around with a hiss. "Nevermind,
you'll be first!" Sweeney yelled, making Lanbar freeze in place.
"Hey, Sweeney, aren't you forgetting something?" Solon asked him. "If Zarani and I are who you want so bad, shouldn't you deal with us first? For all you know, we could sneak away again, as usual!"
"You won't sneak away," Sweeney said matter of factly. Within seconds, he had all three of them pushed against the wall, while he hadn't laid a finger on them. "Let me see who has the will power and mind control to break away from this trap."
((That would be hilarious but there's no way it could have gotten there. :D))
"Ssssso...you're -hic- Sweeney." Lanbar said his head still swaying around in a drunken fashion. "So does that mean you're sssssome psssychopath barber?...-hic-"
((It would be hilarious for you, but not for me, and, erm... another member of this RP.))
Kerow nodded. "Understood, milord." He created another portal, and walked through it.
Zarani looked around distastefully. "What are you doing?" He asked him. "I was going to leave you to your business, but you attack me like this!"
((Where are Solon, the Dead Men, and the others at the moment, exactly?))
((In an alleyway in Scalus))
"You're wanted dead, Zarani. Didn't you know?" Sweeney told him with a chuckle. "And calling me a psychopath? Well, that truely hurts. I haven't laid one finger on any of you. But, I will witness three murders tonight... No, not murders. Suicides." Sweeney began laughing maniacly, loosening his mind control on the group.
Solon noticed this and realized he could break free if he tried. "Quick, it's our chance to get out of this!" Solon hissed to the others, signaling they could move while Sweeney was busy laughing.
"I don't feel like moving, I'm comfor'ble." Zarani whined. After a few moments Zarani's hand went up, and pulled out the apache.
Lanbar went running up to Sweeney but stumbled over onto his back with his head toward Sweeney. He just layed there snoring.
Lanbar had brought Sweeney back to reality. "Ha ha ha! This is the group I am finishing? A drunkard, a useless ex Dead Man, and a helpless kid?" Sweeney asked in bewilderment. "I almost pity you too much to kill you... Almost." Sweeney used his mind powers to make Zarani hold the apache to his own head. "Now, will you do the honors and click the trigger?" Sweeney didn't bother with the other two, he needed his full concentration on this.
Kerow emerged in the alleyway where the others were. "ENOUGH!" He shouted at the Dead Men, especially to Sweeney.
"I am not drunk yet!" Zarani protested, his eyes looking in worry at the apache.
Sweeney noticed Lord Kerow, and immediately dropped his control of Zarani's mind. "Lord Kerow," Sweeney greeted with a slight bow. "If you did not notice, two of these gentlemen are on our list. The Scale gem is also close by. I was just going to finish these three off before calling in Heronn and Steph to help me search for our last gem."
Lanbar continued to snore for a few moments before waking up with a jolt. ...wait...where was I...Oh, right. He quickly grabbed Sweeney's legs and then his own legs shot up and grabbed Sweeney's head with his legs. "Never underesssstimate a drunkard! -hic-" With that, he brought his legs down also bringing Sweeney's head down straight to the ground.
Kerow looked the shadow that the alleyway gave, and used his power to move it over to Lanbar, Solon, and Zarani. He hoped it would keep them in place. "Not the case at the moment. The Mage wants to see these three personally, and... alive."
"Oh, you." Zarani said simply.
Sweeney used his powers to make Lanbar jump off him. He forced them all frozen and turned back to Kerow. "Sounds like a bit of tortue... Should be fun," Sweeney said with a smirk. "In fact, it gives me another idea. But, I'll tell it to you and Mage Riolo as soon as we get these three there." He walked over and grabbed Lanbar. "I'll teleport this one there. He seems to have taken a liking to me." And with that, Sweeney and Lanbar were gone.
"Where the -hic- hell are you taking me?" Lanbar said to Sweeney.
Zaronn waited where he was waiting for another order. "Well...It's official, I'm bored."
((You guys wait till I'm actually sitting down to watch PotC to start posting?! *Eye twitch**Randomly starts crying*))
Jas starts hearing noises that sounded like loud crashing, but knows that the others near her can't hear it. She runs up to the deck, and looks over the railing.
((Jas' group hasn't left yet, right?))
Kerow turned his attention to Zarani, and smirked. "Well, well, well... if it isn't the traitor." He took a few steps towards the ex-Dead Man. "Believe me, disposing of you was the last thing we wanted to do. Unfortunately, we forgot that we must wait twenty-four hours after the denouncing of a Dead Man for their powers to wear down." His smile was replaced with a menacing scowl. "It was nothing personal."
He walked back to the wall he had come from. The portal was still intact. He made the shadows roll like a conveyor belt until Solon and Zarani were in front of the portal. "In you go." He said as he shoved them in, and he followed.
Tanbar ran over where Jas was taking a look at the rail just to make sure it wasn't the one he worked so many times fixing. It wasn't. whew. I was scared for a moment there. "What is it, Jas?"
(( If the Pats lose this game I'm going to make Solon kill himself >.>;; TWO SECONDS LEFT! *curse words here*))
"To the depths of hell," Sweeney hissed menacingly in Lanbar's ear. Within seconds, they were in a dark cave, no exit or entrace was visible.
---
Solon fell through the portal and landed on the ground next to Sweeney and Lanbar. "Ow!" he said with a wince as he landed on his knees.
"You can't get rid of 'em, though." He pointed out. "It's all in my eye."
"Oh...that'ssss -hic- nice." Lanbar said standing up only to almost fall over before catching his balance.
(( NOOOOOOO! IM SO ... *@#$?% !#@$ %$?@# $@#? $#!$% They were winning the ENTIRE game ;_;... The last quarter and they lose it! WHY? WHY? ;_; ))
Solon got up slowly and looked around. "Wow... Where are we?" he whispered to himself.
---
Sweeney motioned that Kerow follow him away from the others to talk.
Kerow walked out of the portal. "In a place where there is no escape." He walked over to Sweeney. "What is it?" He asked in a somewhat impatient tone.

Tanbar ran over where Jas was taking a look at the rail just to make sure it wasn't the one he worked so many times fixing. It wasn't. whew. I was scared for a moment there. "What is it, Jas?"
((And nobody answers my darn question... -_-))
"I hear," Jas looks around, then at Scalus. "Fighting..."
((You're welcome. :)))
Tanbar listened for a moment. "...I don't hear anything. It must have stopped...And we have a more imortant matter at hand. What exactly happened to you?"
((I don't think they have. @Birdie: Sorry, maybe next year. But I'm sort of glad the underdogs won.))
((Thanks LS))
"You don't hear it?" Jas looks back at Tanbar, deciding that fighting probably wouldn't be in her best interest now. "Could have something to do with what happened to me... if I knew what that was... But I'm thinking it has to do with my book..."
(( I wouldn't have been as upset if the Pats hadn't had a perfect record all season. It would have gone down in history... ))
"I know that the friends of those three have the Scale gem, and they are still in Scalus," Sweeney reported. "If we can lure them here, using their friends, then we can not only elimate all of the pests, but we can get the Scale gem as well! It's the perfect plan."
Kerow nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, that is an excellent plan. However, as with all large decisions, we must consult the Mage first."
Zaronn teleported to where the other two were. "Sorry about the intruption, m'lord. But may I have the honors of disposing of the fools that oppose us?"
"You know...you never told us where you even got that book." Tanbar said to Jas.
"Momentarily, perhaps." Kerow told Zaronn. "First, we must ask the Mage what is in our best interest."
(( Perfect plan for the bad guys if Jas still gave a rat's ass about the others. >=) ))
"I got it from my own house back at Crescent," Jas says looking down at the water. "There's this huge room under our basement with all these books and weapons and stuff, so I figured that I might find something about the gem there," she sighs and looks back up.
"I got sidetracked after I found the book, and started learning spells out of it... Thing is, my mom and dad always told me not to go into the crossbase. Ever. It could be because of this and worse things. Last my mom told me, was that my dad went to Emit, and that's why I want to head there. Figure I can ask him something..."
"Oh, I see." Tanbar said. "...what do you mean by 'worse things?'" He said not liking the tone of that phrase.
"Cursed weapons that force the wielder to kill uncontrollably," Jas shakes her head. "Medallions that cause the owner to be not living, but not dead, chests containing spirits that can possess a person... Those kinds of worse things."
Tanbar's face turned pale at the mention of these things and took a step back from Jas. "Oh...those kind of...bad things."
Hmm... Harver was getting bored. I think I'll pay the Mage a visit.
!! Harver! Kerow told you specifically to stay here!
Stop being so paranoid. He created a portal, and walked through. Everything'll be fine.
For your sake - and the sake of others - I hope you're right.
((10 points to whoever can name where I got the 3 'worse things' from. XD))
"Me," Jas smirks, noticing Tanbar step away. "I'm turning into... something... because I just had to be nosy. Whatever happened to me probably won't do anything to you."
Harver walked out of the portal, and it dissapated behind him. His first thought was, Oh... my... God... He was on deck of a ship, and Tanbar and Jas were only a few feet away from him. WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO, EMIT?!
I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO GO GET INTO TROUBLE, SO I SENT YOU TO THE FIRST PLACE THAT CAME TO MIND!
WHICH IS ALSO THE MOST DANGEROUS! He looked at the two, no doubt they'd already seen him. "Umm... hi?" He said, nervously. Aw, crap. I'm so dead.
((Pirates of the Carribean? :D))
whew...I was scared for a moment. "Turning into something, eh?" Tanbar said more relaxed. "Do you have some sort of idea what that 'something' i-" He was interupted by Harver's voice. "Now what the hell do you want?" He said drawing his sword.
"Umm... nothing?" Harver said. Now look what you've done!
This never would have happened if you'd stayed put like I told you. Now just make another portal!
You know I can't do it for another few minutes!
Oh... yeah, right...
Now who's the careless one?
((One of them, what are the other 2 references?))
Jas looks back to see... "Harver," she can't ask him what he's doing there, so she only says. "Leave. Now." She also can't have him notice how she changed when she doesn't know what the changes are herself.
"Yeah! Just get off of my-" Tanbar paused for a moment waiting for Lanbar's voice to pop in saying 'our' "..." oh, right...I forgot. "Just get off of my ship!"
'Especially since I know I'm not going to get any answers...' Jas watches them. 'At least not the ones I want...'
Harver nodded, and walked away. "I see how it is." He muttered, walking off the ship. "Of course," He said out loud, stopping abruptly, "if you don't want to know anything more, I'll be free to go."
((g2g))
Jas seems to growl slightly, then goes after Harver. Making sure the changes to her eyes and hands aren't noticeable, she says, "I want to know what the hell you're trying to do, running back and forth between us and them," 'Them' referring to the Dead Men. "But since I know you won't tell me that..." She pauses a bit. "I just gotta ask, does that ring... you sure you're not just telling us it means that there's hope we don't need to be enemies?"
((One wrong word and all Harver's fangirls die. XD))
((lol! XD Soap opera-ish moment. XP))
((How boring. I need to make Heronn burst in at random. :robotangry:))
((Dammit, where are we?))
Harver smirked at Jas' perception. "You know one part of the ring's secrets. There is another, and if you open the way to the secret, there is a likely chance you will find something vital to your mission. As for me trading sides, well, I've been on the same side the entire time. Ask Lanbar; he knows."
((See you all tomorrow; hopefully. I have pentathlon practice and tennis tomorrow. Not to mention homework.))
((*Fangirls die from not having anything to write about*))
"What... the... hell makes you think I have time for solving riddles!?" Jas hisses, glancing back at Tanbar.
((O wait... was it Tanbar or Lanbar who found Harver's journal?))
(( Lanbar. And he's gone xD ))
Mage Riolo's voice echoed through the cave. "It would be foolish not to try this idea. If it does not work, we still have these three to take care of." The voice resounded across the clearing.
Sweeney smirked and nodded in agreement. "I think we should have that traitor boy lure the others here. He knows them the best," Sweeney added.
"If Kerow has no problems with this, then it shall be done," the voice decided. "Once they are all in this escapeless pit, we can have our best chosen Dead Men toy with them a bit, until I am ready to dispose of them completely."
((Heronn will come soon, Org ;) And you are in a cave that can only be entered/exited through teleporting through the Whirl Channel. That's why only Dead Men can use it. ))
((I was gonna say... Everyone's goin' around, keepin' secrets and stuff... >.>))
Jas smirks, and folds her arms, calming down a bit.
"It shall be done." Kerow said, smiling evilly.
***
Harver continued to smile. "If you don't have much time left, then you better solve it fast."
"..." Jas sighs. "You're standing right here. If there's something important I need to know darnit, just tell me."
"Now, where's the fun in that?" Harver asked, playfully. "If you just find something out, you don't truly know how you got there. As they saying goes, knowing is half the battle. However, I will tell you this..." Harver suddenly got serious. "The ring is the key to the Scalander Gem. And the Scalander Gem is the key to defeating the leader of the Dead Men."
((A ring like that ended up in a jewelery store, how? >.>))
"I see," Jas thinks for a bit. 'He COULD be lying, but it's something to consider...'
((However, Harver could have tampered with it a bit...))
((GASP! AN EXPLINATION! :O))
Wait, what is this ring they're talking about? I feel so left out right now... Tanbar just stood there putting his sword away. But for some reason, it seems Harver means us no harm...
((He tampered with it!? Oh poop it's gonna blow us all up! XD Okay, okay...))
"It wouldn't be good if we got caught out here," Jas starts heading back to the ship, but she looks over her shoulder. "Oh yeah, I read it too," she says, referring to the journal. She turns and keeps walking.
"As perceptive as ever." Harver said under his breath as he turned around as well. Until we meet again... He created a portal in an alleyway, and stepped through. Let me do the driving this time...
((Better not be using sarcasm and calling Jas oblivious. :P))
Jas gets back onto the ship. 'Find dad first though...'
Zarani held up a finger in protest. "Ah, but what about the gems? You would have no way to get to them. You need us, disposing of us just leads to problems for you, mate." He pointed out.
"On the contrary." Kerow said. "We already have most of the gems, save for Scalander and Scale. When your friends come, that will take care of the latter, and we shall be free to search for the Scalander Gem. Not to mention we'll have the Crescent Gem's full potential after he's out of the picture." He pointed to Solon.
Jas is laying around in her room, staring at the claws that formed on her hand. 'Who... what am I turning into?'
"Hmph, don't think you're getting it that easily!" Solon shot at Kerow. "Lay a finger on me and see what happens."
Sweeney chuckled at Solon and Zarani's stupidity. "Good. It's so much more fun to kill them when they aren't expecting it and then watching their expression change from determind stubborness to shocked surprise."
At that same time, Heronn and Steph arrived.
"So, you've got them, have you?" Heronn asked, walking next to Sweeney to look the three of their hostages up and down. "Solon... Zarani... Who's the third?"
"I dunno, some drunken idiot," Sweeney replied with a shrug.
"My name'ssss -hic- Lanbar!" He said to the Dead Men.
((Instead of wasting posts, you could've used that one to join... =|))
((Wolfpika, I deleted your post. I know you wish to join, and we're glad to have you, but even if your intentions are good, that was spam.))
((Sorry if this is spam but I can't resist. XP The view number....IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Okay, now it's out of my system. ;D))

((WHAT - NINE THOUSAND?! Hehehe... hooray for us! *Throws confetti*))
Harver emerged from the portal, and found himself in the chamber-like area beneath the Whirl Channel. He smirked deviously as his eyes scanned the room. Kerow noticed his appearance, but decided to not talk about it.
"HERONN!" Zarani leaped forward, blood streaming out of his body from everywhere.
(( 3rd most views and 2nd most posts in the stats ^^ *throws more confetti* ))
"Zarani," Heronn greeted with a nod and a smirk. "Hoping to do some damage? Or do you not realize all of the most powerful Dead Men are in the same room. Kerow, me, Sweeney, and of course Mage Riolo." Sweeney gave a chuckle and smirked as well.
"Make one unsatisfactory move, and you'll pay," Sweeney warned, smirking even bigger.
"Wait, I'm not one of the most powerful Dead Men?" Steph whined.
"No. You failed in killing a mere child," Sweeney told him, pointing at Solon.
Solon growled at the Dead Men, then turned when he noticed Harver's presence "...".
"I don't care if -hic- you were the demonssss from -hic- Davy Jonesss'sss locker!" Lanbar spat at them.
"So we meet again, Solon." Harver said, stepping towards the blonde haired young man. "Honestly, I was hoping the next time we met would be under different circumstances."
Solon gave a curt nod, agreeing with his enemy. "Well, what are you going to do with us?" Solon asked no one in particular.
"Nothing yet," Sweeney growled, glaring at Lanbar.
"Harver has a job for us first," Heronn added, smirking at Harver.
"And that would be...?" Harver questioned the third highest ranked Dead Men, next to Kerow and Mage Riolo.
Name:Hattori Hanzö (Hanzö for short)
Age:27
Person:Shadow Ninja
Land: Crescent Island
Personality:Hanzo Hattori is known as a superhuman ninja warrior. It was said that he could sit behind a hand-held fan, bow, and then suddenly disappear, only to reappear in the next room. He was also master of the art of using a rope to capture an enemy who sneaked up behind him as he sat in seize posture. He was renowned as an "other-worldly" warrior, capable of psychokinesis and psychomancy. He could discern clairvoyantly the plans and strength of an enemy army
Looks:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bc/HattoriHanzo.jpg
Weapon: "Shadow Sword", a long curved blade that can be used for close combat and can be thrown like a boomerang
Weapon 2: "Thunder Bolt", a long electrified chain that Hanzö uses to take out lot's of enemies around him.
Extra Info: Hanzö is a stealth ninja, he can teleport short distances in a puff of smoke.
((Everyone's in Scalus right now, Wolfpika. You could say you were hanging around there or something if you want to get into the RP))
"We need you to lead the others on the boat here by a trap. That way, we'll have them all cornered. Use the fact that these three are captured as your feed and then we'll ambush them," Heronn explained with a smirk.
Now this will test Harver's alliances, Sweeney thought to himself, not trusting Harver for a second.
Harver nodded. "It shall be done." He began to create a portal.
((Is it ok if I give Harver one more ability? It's one that I really want...))
((It'll be his Dead Men ability. All Dead Men can create portals, transform into one animal, and then they have their own special abilities. So these extra ability of yours will be the one you get from the Dead Men.))
((Mmk. Can he have it now? Please?))
(( Yeah, you can. Now don't make me regret this decision with some uber godmodding ability -_-;; :P ))
((It's not. It's more like magic of some sort. If you've ever seen Full Metal Alchemist, Harver's ability is sort of like Roy Mustang's signature attack.))
((The Flame Alchemist. =O He can snap his fingers and VOOM! Flames everywhere because of the transmutation circle on his glove and friction... I think... been a while since I seen it.))
((And if you've seen the movie, then you know that when he's yelling to Riza while he's in the balloon when it's going up, he points his finger in the sky epically. =O))
Hanzö was observing this in the shadows, watching the scene with an indifference mood.
These people are pathetic, they don't realize the true potential of the Dead Men. However, I guess it wouldn't hurt to introduce myself, but not tell them anything about the Dead Men.
Hanzö emerged from the shadows and spoke to the travelers.
"Greetings. I'm Hattori Hanzö, or Hanzö for short. What seems to be the problem here?"
((Wait, they're "here" already?))
((The way things are going, the guys are never going to get to Nimbuslus Land... Why don't you have your character be at Scalus, getting something at the time or something? Maybe travelling, sightseeing?
As for Wolfpika, there are two groups right now. I'll assume you are talking to the ones on the boat since the others are in a place that is unaccessable.))
((pretty much yeah))
((Talking to WHO on the darn boat, BoA? Everyone's in their rooms...))
((Alright, I'll go and get started)).
Now why am I here again? Oh right, the Dead Men. But where do I look? Mira started looking around for a bar or something.
((Pssh, isn't Mira a girl's name? :P))
Harver walked into the portal.
((Let's try that question again after learning what a name actually is :|))

((I had people actually think my character was a girl because of it's name, despite the fact I already stated my character's gender. Sorry about that)).
Jas is still in her room. She hasn't come out in a while.
Tanbar has nothing better to do so he decides to go to Jas's room again. He knocks on the door nervously. I hope she hasn't changed into some sort of man-eating monster now...I'm scared!
Nobody glanced up to see Hanzö. He was stunned, then got a little angry.
How dare these people ignore me?! Oh well, who needs them?!
Hanzö saw two men leave their boat docked to the harbor. Hanzö had an idea. He threw smoke towards his his feet, and *POOF*, he was on the boat, unnoticed. He secretly started up the boat, and headed towards Scalus.
We'll see what happens when they come face to face with the legendary Hanzö.
Fortunately, nothing else has changed about Jas, but the girl's asleep. "Hmmm? I'm sleepin'," her head hits her pillow again, and she's out.
"Oh...okay then." He said quietly walking away from the door. Well...I'm glad she hasn't changed.
Jas starts to dream...
~*'What is this?' Jas finds herself running down a dark corridor. She wants to ask questions, but can't find the energy to speak, and is being pulled along by someone familiar. 'Who is that? It's... you...?' They seem to be in pursuit. As they flee, the footsteps of soldiers can now be clearly heard. The two make a sharp right turn, and Jas stumbles because of a wound that somehow ended up on her thigh. Whoever is with her helps her up so the soldiers can't keep up. Her vision blurs. When it clears, they are standing with a safe behind them, and people of the military closing in- taking aim- on them. The unnamed one holds Jas in effort to protect her, but they are knocked away from eachother as they are shot. The last thing Jas sees before waking is the person reaching for her...*~
"Ahhh," she starts to sit up. "What the hell was that?"
"So, mates. Are we free to be going, then?" He asked doing an odd little waving motion with his fingers towards the door. "I swear I shall not hurt your dear Heronn right now." He said, holding up his left hand as if he were saying a vow.
((His left hand? XD I just had to say that, and this...
"Why is the rum gone?"))
Jas looks at her thigh where she was injured in the dream. "Still hurt like a mutha," she starts flipping through her spellbook. "I gotta stop playing animé and videogame music and eating candy before going to bed..."
Hanzö began to see Scalus, and found a harbor to dock to.
Alright, just need to find a hiding spot to surprise them now.
((There is no door where we are. You gotta teleport out :O ))
"You couldn't hurt me if you tried!" Heronn snarled at Zarani.
"And you guys can not leave," Sweeney added. "Not until we've eliminated all of you idiots who stand in our way."
Solon walked around the perimeter of the cavern and sighed. "This sucks."
"Oh, well... I'll just help this drunk here find his way around..." He grabbed Lanbar by the arm and hauled him up and over to Solon. "I have an idea." He said, moving his lips so scarcely and saying it so silently the Dead Men were bound to not notice. "So," He started, turning on the spot towards the Dead Men. "Dead Men lose their powers after 24 hours?"
Mira entered a random building. "Hello? Anyone here?"
(( Everyone is on the docked ship. ))
Solon nodded at Zarani, hoping it would work since he himself was out of ideas.
"At midnight we-" Steph began before Heronn elbowed him in the side. "Ow!"
"Why do you ask?" Sweeney rebounded.
((Mira doesn't know that)).
"Meh." He left the building to go to another one. "Is anyone here?"
"Curiosity." He said, shrugging. "Now, gentlemen... Oh, and Heronn. Not quite sure what you're classified as. You shall live your miserable little lives remembering this as the day you almost caught, Captain, Renge, Zarani." He turned towards the wall and created a portal. He thrust Lanbar through, and motioned to Solon to go in, before stepping in himself.
((More PotC. XP))
Jas slips back on deck quietly, then sits against a rail, thinking.
Of course, he still has his powers! Solon thought, jumping into the portal as well.
"No!" the three Dead Men yelled simultaneously.
"Ha ha, suckers!" Solon called back. "...Can this portal move any faster?" The Dead Men were advancing towards them at a rather quick pace.
Harver emerged from the portal on the ship where Jas and the others were. And now, the plan is set into motion.
((Wolf, where is your character? And, greetings from Disneyland! ;D))
"Eh screw it! Imma gonna go raid a ship." Mira left the room he was in and made it way to the harbor ((or whatever)).
"Of course, mate." He said, motioning with his hands. The entrance to the portal closed, leaving the Dead Men unable to catch them.
"Let's see....... Which boat should I sneak into?"
"You're here again, why?" Jas asks, glancing up at Harver. Her eyes shine somewhat in the moonlight.
((Err... wasn't Jas in her room?))
((
QuoteJas slips back on deck quietly, then sits against a rail, thinking.
Nope, she's on the deck))
((Oh... oops.))
Harver saw Jas, and then talked quickly. "The Dead Men have captured Solon, Zarani, and Lanbar." He quickly said.
"Hmmmmmm...... Do I want a chance to fight or do I want an easy steal?" Mira stood there thinking while looking at the boats at the harbor.
"Perfect!" Solon exclaimed, relieved as the Dead Men disappeared as they did. Man... This feels weird... Solon thought again as they teleported. And I wonder where we are headed?

Harver saw Jas, and then talked quickly. "The Dead Men have captured Solon, Zarani, and Lanbar." He quickly said.
"... Like I care," Jas turns her head away. "The group's split, we're not even a team anymore. Why do you even care?"

"Hey...Why didn't -hic- you jussst do thisss in the firssst -hic- place?" Lanbar asked Zarani.
"Eeenie.... Meenie.. Minee..... Moe..... No, rock, paper..... No....." Mira was having a hard time picking a boat to sneak on too.
((What happened?))
Harver sighed. "So you don't even care about them anymore?"
Quote from: 20fan on February 10, 2008, 05:08:42 PM
((What happened?))
(( Solon, Zarani, and Lanbar split from the rest of the group who are all aboard the ship. Two new guys are walking through Scalus, but haven't met up with the group yet. ))
"Aw man, all of these boats are in great condition...... Which one should I try to take?"
((Wait a minute?! So all of the guys are in Scalus, or just I am a person?))

((What?! When did they leave Scalus?))
((...we never left Scalus...-_-; ))
((Oh man! I didn't know that you guys were in scalus already!))
Hanzö then noticed the girl named Jas talking with Harver.
Aha...time to make my appearance...
In a puff of smoke, he appeared in front of Jas and Harver.
"Greetings travelers, I am Hattori Hanzö, the superhuman ninja! Now that you have met me, I ask for your reason here."
SMOKE! That's the boat I'll go for! Mira made is way on to the boat to investigate the smoke.
Ooc// In Scalus already?...We've been in Scalus for a LONG time...
ooc//oh! I thought you guys were on crescent island...
((...You don't know anything about this RP, do you?))
Harver jumped back in surprise as the ninja came. "Can't you see we're having an important conversation here?"
((Sorry, I was confused))
"Maybe your ears didn't hear me, I'm Hanzö and if you don't tell me why your here, I just might have to kill you."
Harver sighed, and then began to chuckle. "That's a good one. I almost laughed. Almost. Now, please excuse us."
"I won't let you pass, until you either tell me what's going on, or I'm going to have to assume that your a dead man. And if you are, truthfully or not, I will have to kill you."
Hm? Important conversation? As in a private one? Mira thought to himself upon hearing those words from the part of the boat he was on ((which would be the top)).
((@Wolf: ...Do you even know where Harver and Jas are?))
((are you talking to me on that one lightning, or to mira?))
"You have twenty seconds..."
Quote from: LightningSword on February 10, 2008, 07:57:11 PM
((@Wolf: ...Do you even know where Harver and Jas are?))
((He already said he teleported to their location, and so far, they have no reacted negatively about it out of character)).
((Well, I assume your on the deck of a room, harbor, or port. At least, that's what I did, I teleported to your location))
".....fifteen seconds.."
"......ten seconds..."
Hmm...better think up of a strategy before I attack, he looks like a swordsman, better take out his sword then....
Another ninja? Oh well, I wanted to try to take this boat and deal with those people later, but I'll play hero this time. Mira snuck into range and threw a throwing star at Hanzo.
The portal opened up onto the deck of the ship, and Zarani stepped out. He looked around, then frowned in disgust. "Oh, dangit. We're back here mates... Must've been the first place I could think of at that moment." He bowed to Jas. "Sorry, love. We will be on our way in a moment." He reached in and yanked Lanbar out. "First, we need rum. Our rum is gone."
"That'ssss right." Lanbar said still tripping over himself as he walked to the stairs that led to the cellar. "It'll be jusssst a -hic- moment." With that, he went down the stairs and started rumaging around for the rum.
As Hanzö began to say five, he noticed something was out of place.
What was that?
He noticed a ((Is mira a boy or girl)), girl it looked like, throwing a ninja star.
Well, finally we get to have some fun...
Hanzö disappeared in a puff of smoke, only to reappear behind the attempted assasin.
"Now, don't try to tell me that you actually tried to kill me, hmm.."
Hanzö unsheathed his "Shadow Blade", and attacked the girl.
After Hanzö attacked, he saw that three more people had appeared out of a portal and went to Jas and Harver.
*Gasps* The Dead Men!
Hanzö then ignored the girl, and appeared in a puff of smoke, next to the Dead Men. With his Shadow Blade in hand, he hurled it towards the Dead Men.
"DIE!"
((1. Please don't double-post
2. Mira is a boy...I believe.
3. Right now, Zarani is the only 'Dead Man' and to be even more exact, he's an Ex-Dead Men.))
((Just as a reference, Mira is a guy. Look at the appearance, not the name).)
Hehehehe, dumbass. Mira threw some more throwing stars at Hanzo. "Based on their conversation, one can deduce that those guys are in league with the owner of this boat."
Zarani held up a hand, and didn't even blink. He caught the blade in his hand. "Mate, you need to calm down some. This isn't Tortuga." He pushed the blade away, unfazed.
Hanzö then realized it wasn't a Dead Man.
"Oh my goodness! I'm terribly sorry! I didn't- I mean, I did-but, I thought you were a Dead Man! I'm very terribly sorry."
Hanzö also caught the throwing stars that the boy sent at him.
That kid needs to learn that Hanzö won't go easy on a little boy.
"Who the hell are these two? Replacements!?" Solon yelled, demanding an answer from Harver or Jas, who seemed to be the only ones present. "And why is-" Oh yeah, Harver is here to convince them to come get us to trap them... But we're already free, so...
((Does Hanzo know yet? Or did you just make him know?))
Mira then threw things that looked like throwing stars at Hanzo.
Lanbar came back up the stairs with a couple bottles of rum. "Okay, I got the -hic- rum." He said looking over to Zarani. "Wait...Who the hell are -hic- you two?" He said at Mira and Hanzo.
"Mr. Solon. We are not here to start a fight. If we do, I am afraid we must run away. Fight to run away, so you can live to run away again!" He nodded. "This one here," He nodded his head sideways at Hanzo. "He's a bloody idiot. Who's he replacing?" He asked.
"I am a just a ninja who was ordered to locate the Dead Men. I was here to investigate, but then this ninja showed up and I thought I should try to kill him."
"I'm a bloody idiot?! I just assumed that you were a Dead Man because...you just looked and smelled like one to me."
He turned towards Lanbar and replied,
"I am Hattori Hanzö and I-"
Hanzö cut off his sentence to catch the throwing stars once more.
"WILL YOU GET THROUGH YOUR HEAD KID! YOUR NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO KILL ME WITH THOSE!"
"Sorry, I am a superhuman ninja, recognized by my town people in Crescent Island. And I nearly tried to kill your friend because I thought he was a Dead Man. I apologized so everything's cool now. I am looking for Dead Men and a group to accompany or help me on my quest for the sacred gems. Are you-"
Hanzö checked to see if the boy was about to throw more stars again.
"You looking for gems as well?"
((Gotta get off soon...maybe for good.))
"Yes I will dumbass." Mira detonated the explosives on those throwing stars.
Zarani rolled his eyes. "We don't care. Give me the rum, Lanbar." He said, reaching for a bottle.
"Well...We -hic- aren't but thosssse guysss are lookin' for the gemssss." He said pointing over to Jas and Harver. He then handed over one of the bottles to Zarani.
Hanzö disappeared and reappeared in the same spot....after the explosion.
"Now, I don't think you made these people happy kid."
Hanzö looked over his shoulder to see the expression on the others faces.
"You guys are alright...right?"
"Ooh! Is that 'Morgan Rum'? Mind if I have a bottle?"
"Says the guy who was called an idiot."
"I'm -hic- sorry but thissss run be mine." Lanbar said taking a nice gulp of it. "It'sss a pirate'sss pride and -hic- glory."
"No, we aren't." Zarani started, taking a gulp of rum. "We're still here talking to you, mate." He held the bottles away. "It's our bloody rum and you don't get any."
"No need to get feisty, I'm glad I didn't get any now, just turn into you grumpy pirates. Now tell me though, are you hunting for Dead Men?"
And just to silence the kid behind him, Hanzö threw his shadow stars at him, followed by his Shadow Blade.
Mira took a deep breath and dissolved into a puddle of some liquid substance, then came back up. "So yeah, don't you mean a pirate's 'pride and joy'?" Mira asked Lanbar.
"Ok, Mira is it? Let's just make a deal, I won't kill you or silence you if you stop trying to kill me, done?"
"Eh?...Whatever. I don't really -hic- care. I'm drunk, after-hic-all." He said to Mira.
"The whole reason I did that was because I thought you would be an easy kill. Actually, I might was well: I didn't like the threats I was hearing to the people I assume own this ship."
"I'm very sorry, they seemed suspicious to me. But, it just appears that they are looking for Dead Men as well."
"....Are they looking for Dead Men as well, Lanbar? Actually, what are you doing here? What's your purpose?"
"Why would they seem suspicious if they own the boat? Better yet, how did you know they were looking for the Dead Men if you just teleported to their location? From what I heard, they were after the gems."
"I was talking about Lanbar and his friends here genius..."
"I was talking about the ones you TELEPORTED in front of, who are possibly the owners of this ship. Why would I want to save them from you? They look like they could defeat you, which gives me no reason to attack."
"OK! How about, we just shut up! And forget about this! Anyways, I'm going, maybe I'll meet with you guys up again, until then, may the shadows guide you."
And in a puff of purple smoke, he was gone.
"Do you guys follow the shadows?"
Venice went up to the deck and looked around. "Okay, so the blood guy, the drunk, and the idiot came back for some reason, and some ninja kid's here?" he said, referring to Zarani, Lanbar, Solon, and Mira.
Mira looked around. "Yes, why?"
"Just asking," replied Venice indifferently.
"Alright then."
Hanzö watched on, as a new man named "Venice", talk to the boy Mira.
I better leave now, otherwise Mira will try to kill me again, and therefore, endanger his life. I need to defeat the Dead Men anyway. I believe their should be a Gem on this Island or Crescent Island.
Hanzö climbed up the building, hooked on the roof, and leaped to other buildings, stealthy as the night.
Soon, he jumped down and headed out of town, until he saw a cave somewhere.
"It must be somewhere in there." Hanzö headed into the dark cave.
Soon, the light began to fade away as he headed deeper into the cave.
"Better get some light here."
Hanzö took out small lantern and lit it with a small match.
A small ray of light lit the patch of area in front of him. The cave seemed to get rockier and rockier as he headed deeper.
Then he saw the path split up into two tunnels. He lit up one tunnel and saw it was just a dead end. He lit up a partial of the other tunnel and saw that the ground was covered with skulls and bones. Hanzö unsheathed his "Shadow Blade" and thought,
Hopefully I don't have to use this...
Mira's eyes pointed to Hanzo's original position before he left. A dumbass, really.
((Once again, how did your character all if a sudden know that Mira was a guy? I mean seriously)).
Kai walked to where the scalus mafia had a headquarters. "after this i have to find the others" kai knocked on the door, a voice from other side said "Password" " I don't need A GOD DAMN PASSWORD!" Kai shouted. The door opened and Kai walked in.

@WOLFPIKA- Please don't double post >.>... Edit your post if you forgot something. ))
"I'm not an idiot!" Solon scowled at Venice. "I'm just... blame it on my hair color..." Solon turned away from Venice, Jas, and Harver and walked back over to his small group. "So, what's your purpose, anyway?" Solon asked Jas and Venice. "I mean, are you guys still searching for all the gems, or has that changed?" I don't even know what my group is doing... I think we're just out to kill the Dead Men... But if they are searching for all the gems, then it's dangerous for me to be here...
"My purpose," Jas turns so nobody else notices the change in her eye color, her claws, and now her canine teeth developing into fangs. "My business... Oh, and no, I don't care," she says, answering the question directed at her earlier.
Solon rolled his eyes. "Fine... Whatever..." he mumbled. "Let's just get out of here..." Solon motioned for Zarani and Lanbar to follow him, now that they had their rum, and he headed off the ship.
"Alright." Lanbar said stumbling after Solon. "Oh...and tell -hic- Tanbar I ssssaid hi." He said to Jas and Harver before leaving the ship.
Mira noticed Jas. After seeing how she was acting, Mira turned away to respect her privacy ((he didn't se anything changing)). Something must be wrong with that individual. Probably an ongoing transformation.
'Stubborn little girl,' Jas shakes off that nagging feeling in the back of her mind, and looks back at the others.
"Stubborn little girl? Who? Better yet, stubborn? Who's that?"
((It was a thought... >.>))
(( She thought that, just so you know. Unless your character can read minds, that is. ))
Solon hated being part of a seperate, smaller group. He shoved his fists in his pockets and kicked a rock down the street. "So... Where should we go?" Solon asked Lanbar, expecting the usual drunken response or perhaps an invite to fight.
"Well, I say we should go have some tea and crumpets, old chap. Wouldn't you say that's quite quitiverous?" "The -hic- bar of courssse." He said to Solon.
((I always thought ninjas could read minds)).
(( I'm sure some ninjas would be good at studying expressions etc, but I don't think they can truly read minds... ))
"Right..." Solon sighed. Why couldn't he want to do something like have some tea and crumpets, like an old chap? :P "Let's go then... There should be a bar somewhere round here."
"Alright. let's -hic- a-go." Lanbar said trying to walk to a bar.
((You have a point there)).
Zarani followed after, removing the metal eye patch and springing blood forward at Lanbar. In a few moments, the blood came out of Lanbar and went back into Zarani. "Alright, mate. I've removed every trace of alcohol from your body. You'll feel wierd, but you're not drunk. It was annoying the hell out of me."
Solon felt queasy for a second. "Uh... A warning would be nice for next time..." Solon mumbled, watching Zarani's eye nervously. But he was grateful Zarani was able to do that. The constant hiccuping could get annoying. Solon hiccuped. Oh no, I've caught them! He hiccuped again. NOOO!
"Woah!" Lanbar's head went stait for his head. "What the hell was that?" He said shaking it off. "So...I'm guessing we aren't going to the bar now."
"This is getting agitating," Jas says. "We need to move out of here!"
"Huh, I must have been hearing things." Mira scratched his head.
((Sorry Birdie, I didn't realize double posting would really be so bad. I will try to be better on my behavior, after all, these are some of my first RPs I have played.))
Hanzö took his Shadow Blade in his right hand, and with the lantern in the other, he walked on into the tunnel.
It seems that the path keeps getting rockier with bones instead of rocks...do I really want to head down this path?
Hanzö ignored the thought and kept on walking. At one part, where it seemed to get the rockiest, it suddenly started to gradually be less full of bones.
Oh, that's good, looks like I passed the dangerous pa-...\
That was when he stepped into something sticky. He looked down and had to quickly advert his eyes. It was a bloody head, unattached to the body.
I just had to be glad for one second...
Hanzö continued on the tunnel, and then he saw an opening. He peeked inside and saw that...it was....a.....a......
"It's a hive!"

((@Lightning:Mira tried to assassinate me but failed, the rest of the group met on the boat, and now I'm in a cave, which I have found...a hive
@Orgirzirtee: I didn't say it was the home of the gems, maybe it is a different cave, I just invented the cave actually! I didn't even know that the cave contained the gems, I just went and started on post 234 or something. I'm sorry I came across that and magically guessed it's in a cave, but this is a different cave... Okay?))
Hanzö found a hive alright, but a hive of what he thought himself.
Could...could this be the home of the....Dead Men...? Should I tell the others?
WAIT! Why should I tell the others?!
To gain their trust of course, and maybe gain their help.
I DON'T NEED HELP!
Yes, if you don't want to get killed.
FINE! You win, let's go tell the blood pirates, but not that bloody wannabe ninja kid.
Fine by me.
Hanzö headed out of the cave and ran to the boat.
I hope they didn't leave...

((That wasn't Lighting's question)).
((I officially hate you.
Harver took out his sword, and drove it into Hanzo's chest. He fell to the floor and died. Harver then spontaneously combusted.))
Harver just speculated the scene. Crap... now what do I do?
((Huh? I'm Mira. Anyways, what scene? Did I miss something?))
(( 1) I said I hated you because you mispelled my name.
2) By scene, I meant what was happening on the ship.))
((Alright, my bad)).
((g2g))
"So then," Jas looks at Harver. "Whatever you were planning," she shrugs. "You might wanna go back and check it over," she says grinning and somewhat taunting him.
Harver hung his head down in shame. "Everything always ends up wrong..." He muttered.
Venice noticed Harver for the first time. "Can this group get through one day without some sort of strange or unnatural thing happening? Why is he here?" he asked with a frown.
"H-hey, do you guys need some help? I'm pretty much doing the same thing at the moment."
"Because," Harver said, "Solon, Zarani, and Lanbar were trapped by the Dead Men, I told Jas about it, then Solon and the others come back here, completely unharmed."
Hanzö got back to the harbor, seeing the ship undocked.
Ok, their still here...
"Guys! Listen, I think I might have found a source of Dead Men! I was walking around in this cave...and this tunnel led to a....a hive! I think it might lead to something. I wanted to tell you guys, in case if you were interested."
Harver stared at Hanzo blankly. "A... hive?" He knew that there were only about seven Dead Men, so he knew he couldn't be talking about a throng of Dead Men.
"You would have to ask Jas," Venice replied to Mira. Turning to Harver, he said, "Alright. Works for me."
"Hey I know, it's hard to believe but I swear! I saw bones, heads, flesh, and fresh blood scattered everywhere in the tunnel. I don't know if it's even Dead Men...maybe even worse..."
"Nothing could be worse than the Dead Men, I assure you." Harver said, keeping a calm tone and steady face. "The way you described it, however, does not seem like their work."
"Should we...investigate it?"
"...Maybe we should head back to the ship?" Solon said to Zarani and Lanbar. "I mean... We can't really do much with just us. Don't you think we'd get a lot more accomplished if we had the others, too? I mean, they have the boat and the Scale gem..." Solon began inching towards the ship as he tried convincing the others to come back with him.
"There's things we need to do," Jas says, not getting too specific. "No time to get sidetracked."
"So...you won't come with me?"
"We're not exactly the ones you wanna hang around," Jas says, looking at him.
"It's up to you, mate." He said, turning and following Solon. A huge tentacle thingy of blood came over him and covered him with blood, and where he was walking was now the same wolf as before, just smaller.
"Umm...I think I'll take my chances. All I know is that I am helpful and my destiny seems to have chosen me to be with your group."
Solon gave the wolf a nervous glance before walking back onboard the ship. He didn't say anything to anyone, just went straight to his cabin.
Hanzö realized that Jas meant it, so he walked away, and said.
"Just give me a call if you need anything."
He noticed one of the men he met earlier walked in a cabin. He was about to call him when he shut it.
"Open up! I have something important to tell you!"
Solon cracked the door open slightly, and was surprised to see it was the same kid he had seen on the boat from earlier. "They didn't chase you off yet?" he asked with a sigh, but opened his door wider. "What do you want?"
"I was walking in this cave, looking for Dead Men ((Not the cave on the other island, a new cave I made up)), and I walked in this tunnel and as I progressed, their were more human bones and ripped limbs, blood, and flesh. At the end, there was a...a hive! I ran out before I studied anything else!"
"Sounds interesting... Mind showing me this cave?" Solon asked, in the mood for an adventure. His sword was already sheathed on his back, and his grappling hook was hooked to his belt. But, he searched through his drawers until he found the gun he had stolen from the Scalus soldiers. Relieved he'd have an extra weapon to help him, he attached it to his belt as well. "Alright, lets go."
"Alright, let me just grab a lantern somewhere...." Hanzö shuffled on deck until he found the lantern he dropped earlier.
"Okay, keep your sword out in case something moves and surprises us. Hold on to me, and close your eyes, cause teleporting for beginners doesn't feel pleasant." Hanzö then closed his eyes and threw his puff of smoke down and they were whizzing through the air, and they landed in front of the cave.
"Get ready..."
Solon swayed back and forth a bit after the teleportation. "Weird..." he whispered to himself, shaking his head slightly. He unsheathed his sword and held it defensively in front of him. "You can lead the way, then..."
Hanzö struck his match, lit the lantern, and led the path. They seemed to walk on for hours until he came across that same fork.
"Alright, it's this one." Hanzö motioned for the other guy to come. He walked on the path and soon he began to see the human bones again.
"Told ya....umm....didn't catch your name. What is it?"
"Solon... You?" he managed to say, eyeing the bones with disgust. "Have you ever checked the other trail? It seems this one only leads to disaster..."
"I'm Hattori Hanzö, the superhuman ninja, call me Hanzö for short. I did try the other trail, but it just leads to a dead end."
Hanzö kept walking on and found less bones and more heads and limbs.
"Just keep your eyes of the ground and ignore the squishy sounds."
"...Great advice..." he mumbled. Now the squishy sounds could be noticed even more loudly in Solon's mind. He shook his head and kept his eyes ahead of him. Once or twice he would glance up and saw nothing, not even bats. Bats can't even stay in this cave... This can't be good, Solon thought, trying to keep himself together. Nothing can be worse then the Dead Men, and I face them everyday... It'll be fine...
"Ah, we're almost there..." Hanzö started on a run until he saw that familiar light.
"Here it is, the hive." Hanzö pointed to the hole of light coming from the tunnel.
"Well..what do you think now?"
"I'm thinking the same as before," Solon replied. "There's something here that was really hungry... But, if there was some sort of terror in here, wouldn't the Scalanders have made the problem known or taken care of it by now? Besides, none of this seems that fresh. The thing that killed all of these people has probably been destroyed."
"Uhh....hate to burst your bubble dude, but if this thing is destroyed, then what's that?!" Hanzö pointed at a huge shadow emerging from one of the combs. First two legs, then another two legs, another, and another set of legs. Then a head was visible, and 6 red eyes were staring at them.
"Oh great, I hate spiders!"
Solon just squeaked. No... No... No... he thought, eyes widened. Anthing but spiders! C'mon darnit! ANYTHING but spiders! Solon couldn't move his legs, he just turned his face away and tried not to look at it. His hands were trembling, and he wasn't sure how much longer he could hold onto his sword.
((So what's going on?))
Hanzö attacked the spider, only to be sent back at the wall.
"Oof!"
Zarani, who had followed along silently, watched the spider attacking. "Oh, look. I have a new pet." He barked out, alerting the others of his presence. He sprinted at the spider, and sank blood composed fangs into it's legs. The fangs dissolved and went into the spider. Zarani turned and faced the others. "I think I'll name it George." He said indifferently.
Harver watched the three go into the cave. Huh... I could go back to the base and tell the others about this... but they probably already know that they're gone. I'll see them later. He walked into the cave behind Zarani, being sure to keep quiet.
"No!" Solon shouted at Zarani. "You are not keeping that... that thing!" ...I need to try and calm it down a bit... People might start getting suspicious... "Er, well, you can keep it, I guess... But, I just don't think it'll fit on the ship."
Harver created a portal when he got into the cave, and walked through it. It closed behind him. When he emerged, he was on a safe landing high above where the spider, Solon, and the others were. He looked down on what was going on.
"Ugh....you again? Well, it's better than nothing." Hanzö leaped up to the spider and attacked with his shadow blade.
After Lanbar got back on the ship following Solon's sudgestion of re-joining the group, he went and knocked on the door of Tanbar's room. Tanbar took a peak out and then slammed the door. "I'm not letting you in!" Tanbar said.
"But...why? I'm sorry about leaving you like that." Lanbar said truly feeling guilty for his actions.
"And why should I believe you?" Tanbar asked still angry at him.
"Because...I didn't mean what I said and did. I was drunk at the time." Lanbar said.
"I don't care if you were drunk or not, that was still you." Tanbar said.
It looks like I'm not getting to him for a while. And so Lanbar went to his own room deciding that he would try again later.
"A pet? Oh no! Are you crazy? I'm killing this thing!" Hanzö attacked one of the eyes of the spiders and jabbed at it.
"Take out of the eyes, and it won't stand a chance against us!"
The spider moved to the side and dodged the blade, making it miss completely. "Mate, quit attacking George." He said angrily. He turned into a smaller form of the giant spider. "Did you mates know I can take the form of whatever I've had my blood in?" He morphed again, and a second Solon was standing mere feet away. "It's quite fun really, mates." The blood surrounded him again, and Zarani was standing there. "Anyways, George got boring." The spider began to writhe in agony. It reached up with it's front legs and grabbed it's head, emitting a large screeching. "I've got it's guise now..." The screeching got louder, and suddenly the spider exploded, shooting a red and green blood across the cave. "Now, what should I do..."
Harver watched the spider's massacre in a amusement. A soft chuckle escaped from his mouth. They have more power than I first expected...
"Stupid..." Jas stands up after everyone left, and goes to lock herself in her room again. Something furry seems to be following behind her though.
((Poor George... 0.0;))
You know...maybe I should talk to Jas...Maybe she can help talk some sense into Tanbar. And so he left his room and went and knocked on Jas's door. "Hello? Are you in there?"
"Yeah," Jas says batting at the furry thing behind her. "I'm here," she opens the door still wondering what the thing that suddenly connected to her is... or rather, hoping it's not what she thinks it is.
((Yeeaahh... anyone else notice that there's now stuff from Epic Center here? BAD MOVE.))
"Oh hey...Sorry about leaving you earlier. I guess I was too drunk for my own goo-OH MY GOD! WHAT'S THAT THING BEHIND YOU!" Lanbar said pointing at it and then realizing the other differences in Jas like her, nails and teeth. "W...What happened to you?"
((I agree with you. It doesn't belong here. It should have been moved to another board.))
((I posted about it in the thread that tells about the changes... Doubt they'll do anything about it... -_-))
"To make things short," Jas starts. "Apparently my spellbook got me like this somehow."
"O-oh...Okay." Lanbar said trying to recover from the shock. "I take it that Tanbar didn't take it too well at first glance either, did he?"
"Gah, some of your blood is in me!?" Solon gasped. He ducked behind a boulder when George exploded and gagged. Then he walked back out. "I thought you took it all out, though.."
"No. It was in you." He pointed out. "It remembers your DNA. I could turn into Jas, Lanbar, Venice... Anyone, really." He explained.
"Not me, however." Harver called down to the three.
"If you had been standing about an inch further to the right, it would've been you too." He called back, looking at a splotch of blood on the wall next to harver.
"Close, but no cigar." Harver chuckled.
"Well, it looks like I underestimated you Zarani. But next time, give me a warning before your going to blow up the spider will you?"
"No." He said looking back at the blood stained clothes of Hanzo. "Ooh, look. My blood is in you." All the blood came forth and went back into Zarani, him taking the form of Hanzo as it happened. "I can be you now, too, mate." He transformed into himself again as he looked back towards Harver. "Tell the Dead Men they aren't getting back these powers. The only way they're taking my eye is if the rip it out of my cold, bloody, and dead, body."
"Wait...you've seen the Dead Men? Where are they, tell me now!"
"Hold your bloody horses, mate." He yelled at Hanzo. "We've seen the Dead Men, and fought with them. There's no location we can tell you about, and you're much too weak to fight them. You wouldn't even get a scratch on any of them."
"Just because I couldn't lay a finger on your pet spider, George, doesn't mean I can't take on the Dead Men."
((Also, you God Modded with that, you didn't even give me a chance to dodge George's swipe))

"O-oh...Okay." Lanbar said trying to recover from the shock. "I take it that Tanbar didn't take it too well at first glance either, did he?"
"No, he didn't," Jas says, tail twitching a bit. "But he didn't get all crazy like you did," she looks at the ground.
((No, no I didn't. Read, genius. The blood shot out across the cave. You were mere feet from it. It got on you, it was inevitable. You wouldn't try to dodge harmless blood, because you don't know what Zarani is.))

"Oh..."
Great...Just great. That doesn't really make me feel any better. "So...are you going to do anything about this?" Lanbar asked.
((Ok, I'm lost. As far as I know, Mira is still on the ship, standing in his place. What happened so far, and what can Mira do at the moment?))
((Never mind, I saw that post and I edited my response.))
"I'm afraid that's not allowable. I must find them, for to avenge what they took from me, and I promise you, I will have my revenge...so tell me where they are!"

"Oh..." Great...Just great. That doesn't really make me feel any better. "So...are you going to do anything about this?" Lanbar asked.
"I need to," Jas sighs like she doesn't want to say it. "Find my dad... I got the book from a room he told me not to go into in the first place, so I'll ask him."
"Oh great, now I'm a copy as well..."
What should I do now? Everyone appears to be in different parts of the boat, yet I'm still here..... I think I'll take a nap until they force me off their boat. Mira lay down on the floor of the boat. But what about my mission? I don't feel like bothering them about anything. Let's just see how things go.
"Yep, mate. The fibers of everything you have are mixed with your blood, too. It makes me able to replicate items. From the clothes on your back to that fancy little trinket blade you hold so near and dear." He pulled out a replica shadow blade. "I'll call it the blood blade, mate. Though my cutlass is much more better." ((Horrible grammar on purpose.))
"Even my Lightning Bolt?" Hanzö pulled out a long electrified chain.
"Of course, mate." He said, yawning.
Harver nodded towards Zarani. "I'll be sure to tell them that."
Jas sits where she is. Her improved sense of sight and smell catches random things in the area. 'Interesting...'
"Well, I need to know, I have a mission to fulfill and with information in sight, I can not go away until I claim. Please tell me where they are!"
((This going dead until BoA comes back bugs me, sooo even though I hate the "holiday" with a burning passion...
I call a Valentine's Day Ball filler episode of DMdTS to keep it somewhat interesting! XP))
((Shouldn't we make a new thread for that? Posting here might disrupt the RP when BoA gets back on)).
((Depends. If only a few people go along with it, a new thread wouldn't be worth it.))
((That's true)).
((Now for everyone else to post. -_-))
((...I'm... not really sure about that. Since it wouldn't go along with the entire story, let's just do it in our OOC bubbles!))
((Then that wouldn't work because we'd be filling the place up with ooc. X.x It's called a filler/side quest BECAUSE it doesn't fit with the story. It's like the "Stand Alone" episodes of GitS and the InuYasha episodes that aren't referred to in the manga.))

(( Hey guys... XD. I'm actually glad you made a side quest instead of continuing the story without me. As long as the side story doesn't go along with this, I won't feel left out =D. Anyway, I'm back now. Will this sidequest thing continue or does it die now that the main thread is back on? I feel like such a noob right now x.x ))
Solon had dosed off in the cave as the others were talking. "I'm going back to the ship," Solon decided, not remembering what their last conversations had been about anyway. "All this splitting up is getting me nervous..."
Harver looked down at Hanzo. "It's pointless. Even if I did tell you, you wouldn't be able to reach them."
((Welcome back, Birdie! =D))
((I am lead to believe that it will continue for a bit, even though you are back)).
Mira woke up from his nap. I really should ask someone about the Dead Men or the gems, but something tells me that this is not the best time. Mira lay back to continue his nap.
(( You guys can continue that side quest and keep it going for as long as you want, but I don't want it to count to this rpg because then I'll feel left out x.x And wow you guys responded fast XD.))
((But the side quest is moving slowly >_> )).

((Can we not forget everything that happened in the side story?

XD Anyway, I'm too lazy to read all of that... You don't need to tell me what happened at the party, I'll just say Solon never went. He never even left the bed *wink wink, nudge nudge* Right, I guess he'll just have to find out later. So, everyone goes back to the boat for a party, except for Solon, and as soon as you wrap that up, will the end of the party be put into this thread? I guess that works out, I still feel bad about being out of the loop, though ;_;. This RPG better be over within the next month before I go on my next vacation... So, everyone understand what's happening? Or does someone else have a better idea? I'm still a noob at this, so I probably won't come up with the best decisions...))
((Harver came out of a portal and emerged from the part of where this RP left off.
Harver: Man, that was some party! *Blows noisemaker and throws confetti*
Kerow: Just get back to where we left off... >_>
Harver: Ok... where was I... oh yeah, resistance is futile! Bwahahaha!!
*Kerow leaves*
But seriously, what do we do now? We were doing stuff when we left off, so what are we supposed to do with it?))
((The party... could be like a flashback-type thing.))
((Meh... we'll decide later.
Harver: Mwahahaha!
Would you cut that out?! At least Emit isn't here to make things worse...
*Emit appears*
0_0))
((Until then- *Jas poofs in and kisses Harver partially to get him to stop Mwahahahaing* ... Until then, onwards with the RP!))
((*Harver stops*
Thanks. Now all we need is Birdie to show up, and then we can get back to RPing.))

((I just say we just go where we left off, we can say that the ship was never real but everything, I do mean everything was all Jas' creation so when she leaves, the ship slowly starts to disappear and we have to escape before we fall into the water XD. that's what I say at least. if we do, then I'll post this in parenthes))
(Hanz? noticed the ship fading, and realized something drastic.
Not just the party or the moon, but the ship too?!
"RUN FOR IT!")
((I'm going to miss my date, I fell in love with serenity.))
((Wouldn't work. Her friends set the party up.))
((oh well, was I good date/boyfriend for Serenity? Since your a girl, would you think they could have a serious relationship? or was I terrible?))
((That's why I said have the side RP be a flashback. I think something could've worked, you weren't bad...))
((Thanks, that makes me feel so much better, :)
(( The whole thing could have been in their heads. You know, like a virtual reality sort of thing. It was all real, but they got transported into this world within their minds. Then again, it could have been a flashback of what happened on Valentine's day... Whatever you guys want, I guess. ))
((Can we get back to the RP now?))
((Well, I already posted in character awhile back. Also, GOOD NEWS! We're now first in topic replies, and second in view! Party!! *throws confetti left over from the VD party*))
((Niiiice.))
Jas is curled up under her blankets, lost in thought.
Mira woke up from his nap again. What a day that was.
(( 3 cheers for this RP! Hip hip- Kay, I'm bored of that... ))
Solon walked back onto the ship and looked around, wondering where everybody was. "We should really get this ship going," he mumbled to himself. "No point in staying docked somewhere we don't need to be..."
"ah, that's true." Tanbar said popping in. "Now...where did we want to go?"
"Gah!" Solon shouted, falling back. Was he there before? Creepy... "Emit," he reminded Tanbar. I think... "But, I don't think everyone's on board... What about Zarani, Hanzo, and Lanbar?" Wait, since when was Hanzo part of the crew? Now I'm just confusing myself...
"Ah, Right, Lanbar." Tanbar said still just a bit offset by him leaving them like that. "He's...already on the ship."
Jas comes back up to the deck, and glances at the others with a blank look on her face. "They'll find their way to us somehow... knowing them. We've been here long enough."
((So where on the ship are you guys?))
((Haven't you been paying attention? We're on the deck.))
Solon just nodded in response to Jas. "Finally, back on schedule." Solon gave a sigh of relief. "Things were starting to get out of hand there for a while..."
Mira went to the deck, if he wasn't already. If he was, he just jumped up and stood there. Who is the owner of this ship?"
"Why does it matter?" Jas asks, looking up from the deck at Mira.
"Meh, I guess it doesn't have much relevance. What is this crew's current objective?"
"Why do you keep asking questions?" Even though she's seen Mira before, she isn't going to tell anyone what they're up to so easily.
"Because I'm trying to figure out what I can do from here. My objective is to either locate the Dead Men, or find the gems. If I can figure out what you are doing in relation to my objectives, then I may be of great assistants to you, and vice versa."
"Join at your own risk," Jas says shaking her head.
"So I can assume you share either one of my objectives?"
"Good assumin' fella," Solon replied. "Actually, that's both of our objectives. We're trying to get the gems back so we can wipe out the Dead Men. And to answer your last question, this is Tanbar's ship." Solon took a second to glance at Jas, since she seemed to be in a bad mood. It was then that he noticed she looked different. Are those... Claws!? Damn, how long have I been gone, exactly?
"Do you think you guys would need any assistance?"
"If you're asking to come along, then I say it's fine," Solon replied. "The more the merrier. Then again, two's company, three's a crowd. However, we are already way past three people, so... Yeah sure, join the party."
"Alright, thanks. This is one step closer to completing my... Our objective."
Harver sat in the study at Scalus, looking at a glass of water in his hand. I wonder if Jas understood my message... if she didn't, then my entire plan could go to waste! The water inside the glass began to bubble slightly, due to it heating up.
Calm down, Harver! We still have plenty of alternatives. The water stabilized, and Harver drank it.
You're right. I just need to think this all out...
Jas smirks upon hearing Mira correct himself. 'trusting people too easily...' She turns to head back into her room, trying to force a smile. "I'll be in my room." Her room... she seems to stay in there more and more.
Solon narrowed his eyes at Mira. Damn it, why do I keep letting people in like this? Maybe Venice is right, I need to be less trusting. "Watch your back, kid," Solon warned. "I don't take kindly to anyone stepping out of the circle of trust. Just remember that." Then, Solon walked away and back into his own cabin to get re-aqquainted with everything.
((lol. "The circle of trust". I don't know why, but that made me laugh. XD))
((*Singing Lion King-style* The Circle of.... Trrruussst! XD))
Jas picks up the ring given to her. "The back of it, hm?" She starts examining it before she forgets to do so.
(( It's from Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers ;D ))
Solon stashed all his items away in a trunk and sat on his bed, thinking. After all that's happened, I haven't learned a thing... First Harver, then Zarani, and yet I'm still letting people in like nothing has happened. Solon sighed, laid back, and closed his eyes. I just gotta keep a more careful watch over things...
((Oooohh))
Jas sets the object back down on her desk. "Can't do it!" She accidentally sends a chunk of ice at the wall. "Damn..."
Solon heard a crash and he jumped up in surprise. Weird... He walked back out of his cabin and looked around. He knocked on Jas's door, which seemed to be where the noise was coming from.
Circle of trust? Mira scratched his head.
"*Sweatdrop* Oops..." Jas opens the door, trying to hide the tail that appeared on her.
"What was th- What is THAT!?" Solon shouted, pointing at the thing sticking out of her butt. "Is that a... Is that a tail!?"
"If it is?" Jas' tail wags a bit. "I'm sure that's not what you was going to ask me..."
How come she gets a tail? I want a tail... Solon watched her tail enviously for a second before breaking from his trance. "Oh right! I was actually wondering what that crash noise was."
Mira started looking around for the person in charge of making the boat move.
"I lot control of one of my spells for a moment," Jas says. "Sorry."
No wait, I should talk to the crew first. Mira started looking around for the crew.
"Spells?" Solon repeated, raising an eyebrow. "Since when could you do spells? Can I see?" He peeked further into the room, searching it, almost expecting to see a table with potions and a broomstick in the corner. I'm gone an hour and all of a sudden Jas can do spells!? Solon thought. The party really heats up when I'm out of the picture, it seems...
The only thing on Jas' table is a large book. She smirks and flicks one of her twin blades a bit, sending a small electric shock at Solon's backside. "Nosy, calm down and maybe I'll tell you what happened..."
Solon jumped around after the shock on his back, but he turned around when he realized it must have been Jas. Solon's ears perked at the mention of being told and he tore his eyes off the book to look back at Jas expectantly.
Where is everyone? Mira thought, looking for the crew members.
Zarani was on the side of the ship, a hat tilted down over his eyes, sleeping. He yawned and opened his good eye, scanning the deck. "...Rum." He said, standing up and stumbling a few feet.
((Uhhh... Where are we? I just guessed the ship... >>'))
Mira noted Zarani. Ermmmmm..... Was he a crew member? Meh, he's sleeping. Mira continued searching for the crew members.
"You there! Swabbie!" He yelled at Mira. He strolled up next to him. "Rum." He said, pointing towards the door to the rum place... Thingy.
"Do you require some?"
He stood blinking a few moments, looking at Mira. "Yes." He finally said.
"Very well." Mira went to the rum place..... Thingy, and got some rum for Zarani.
((Heading off now, ciao.))
((See ya)).
"Okay, fine," Jas sighs, sick of telling the same story over and over. "To make it short, I took that ginormous book on the table even though I was told not to, started learning the spells, and now I'm getting traits of whoever my parents trapped inside it, hence the reason I need to find the jackass of a dad I have and make him tell me how to reverse the effects," she says taking a breath afterwards.
"So, and this is totally hypothetical, if I were to start learning the spells of that book, I'd grow a tail?" Solon asked casually, glancing again at the book. "And claws, and ears, and my eye color would change?" he added after looking Jas over again. Interesting... I wonder what sort of demon cat-like thing was trapped inside that book. And I wonder if Jas will mantain her personality once the transformation is complete...
"..." Jas senses what Solon's getting at. "It's a one person thing... and you're not touching the book."
((I'm pretty sure she doesn't have the DOG ears yet. XP))
((Zarani says she isn't a demon. >> xP))
((ololololol inuyasha)).
"So are you going to take this rum from me?" Mira asked Zarani, seeing if he still wanted the rum.
(( What does Jas look like right now? And what transformations have taken place so far? By the way, I don't watch Anime, but I always thought that Inuyasha guy was supposed to be a cat... ))
Solon hung his head. "Fine..." I didn't want that ugly tail anyway... "Just remember, I'm a master theif. You might want to keep that book somewhere safer then just laying out on the table," Solon warned before heading back out onto the deck. If Tanbar doesn't get us moving soon, I'll steer this darn ship myself!
((She has lighter eyes, claws, fangs, slightly longer hair, and a tail. If she had ears already, she'd still be freaking out. XD Other than that, she looks the same))
"Believe me," Jas says closing the door. "The book's fine where it's at."
((Oh, and before I forget... *Smacks BoA upside the head* NEVER call InuYasha a cat again! ... XP))
((And once again, we're at a standstill...))
((Well, Harver can't do anything since he isn't in the main group, and I've reached my cap for characters.))
((It doesn't matter if he's in the group or not. You can still post to keep the RP going.))
((I just need a response from Zarani)).
((Just a quick check in before I leave again--))
Solon yawned and walked into the main room that had all the ship controls within it. I wonder what this lever does... Solon pulled on a lever and the ship's rudders began to move. "And... We're off!" Too bad I have no idea what I'm doing... "Lemme see here... Just move this wheel to turn it, and-" The boat crashed into the dock and broke it.
"Shit! Atleast the boat is fine..." Scalan troops began firing at the boat, breaking rails and crashing windows. "Wow... They got here fast..." Solon had the boat completely turned around now, and they were sailing away from Scalus at a very undulant speed and motion.
One of the bullets hit the bottle of rum Mira was holding. "Nevermind."
((Sorry I haven't been on. Brawl had stolen my life. X.X))
Tanbar got up groggily and walked over to Solon. "Hey Solon." Tanbar said with a yawn still half asleep. "What're you doing?"
((You had a life? :P))
Venice nearly jumped when he heard the ship crash into the dock. He walked out on deck and asked, "What did you do this time?!"
((Hm...good point. XD))
"It wasn't me." Tanbar said starting to wake up more. "Solon's the one driving...Wait...Solon!" Tanbar then pushed Solon away from the steering wheel and kicked the ship into high gear.
"Aw hell no," Jas comes out of her room, twin blades at her side. "What did we get into now?"
"Well...Solon here crashed their docks and they're not taking it too lightly." Tanbar said nodding his head over toward where the Scalans were blasting at the ship. "Don't worry, I'm pretty sure we're out of their range now...unless they sent out ships."
"Which, when you consider the fact that the idiot just blew up there dock, is all the more likely!" commented Venice.
Jas slashes downwards, and lightning bolts strike some of the Scalus ships, blasting them into pieces. "Hmph," She watches for a moment before looking away... that isn't something she'd normally do.
Mira saw the lighting bolts. "Nice."
"Wow...Remind me not to get on your bad side!" Tanbar said to Jas looking back to see if there were any more ships coming. "Uh oh, It looks like they're not giving up."
Jas slashes to the side, and waves start slamming into the enemy ships relentlessly.
At this point, I am lead to believe someone is casting magic, but who? Eh, who cares?
((LOL at Mira's cluelessness.))
Harver got up from the study's chair when he felt swaying. What the...? He walked up the stairs to expect being in the bar, when instead he found himself on a Scalan ship that was chasing Tanbar's ship. When Harver examined the situation, he nearly fell over. HOW THE HELL DID WE GET HERE?!
Don't ask me!!
I thought you said you'd let me do the driving!
All I did was think of the place!! It shouldn't have gotten in the way!
Next time, don't think of anything!
((Mira = Oblivious now XP))
Jas continues to send barrages of lightning bolts and flames at the ships in pursuit of the one she's on.
Now who had that spell book again? Oh wait, wrong event.
Jas stops, waiting for the smoke to clear, so she can see how many ships are remaining.
The ship Harver was on hadn't been shot down yet, but the Scalan troops began to lose hope. They began to use all the life boats and jumped overboard. Soon, only Harver was left on the ship. Well... this sucks. And I still don't have enough power left to make another portal... Damn!
Jas conveniently starts firing lightning spells at the ship Harver is on.
Eh, screw it. We'll just watch the lighting show. Mira did just that, except it wasn't really a show.
"Hey, hey! Stop that!" Lanbar shouted running over to Jas waving his arms. "Don't fire at that ship!" He said seeming as if he was about to save Harver's life. He then ran over to a large cannon and wheeled it over to the edge of the ship and aimed it at the ship. "...I wanna have some fun too!"
"When did we get a cannon?" asked Venice. "I wanna blast something to bits too."
Quote from: Triforce_Luigi on March 16, 2008, 03:55:46 PM
"When did we get a cannon?" asked Venice. "I wanna blast something to bits too."
"Well, nobdoy ever asked if we had one...and we never needed to use it...'til now, that is!" And with that, he loaded the cannon with not a cannon ball, but a large bomb. "Hey Jas, how about you whip up some fire for the wick."
((XD))
"Don't be so slow then," Jas had only stopped for a second to set fire to the cannon before casting ice spells on the ship.
"You'd better not miss. You might blow us up instead."
"Now why would I miss?" He said turning toward him letting the cannon sag down and point at the ship as the wick burned away. "...Gah!" He said looking back and quickly re-aiming the cannon at the ship and firing. "That...was close."
"... Moron," muttered Venice.
"You woulda had a shoe up your ass if you fired on us," Jas slams the sword in her right hand down, casting more spells at the ship.
"He'd have quite a bit more than that!" said Venice. "How about a knife down his throat, some swords stuck through his ribs, and fire constantly burning away at his body..."
"Actually, if that bomb fired at our ship, I wouldn't have to worry about any of that...because we'd be basically dead from the blast of that bomb that's flying at that ship." Lanbar said awaiting to see the bomb hit the ship. "But right now, let's not talk about what didn't happen and let's watch what's going to happen to that ship."
"Gah! We're sinking!!" Harver cried out, beginning to shovel water out of the ship. "Help me, Emit!"
I'm just a ghost, I can't do anything! Just make another portal, I think you have enough strength!
Now you tell me!
Harver did so, and he was gone.
The bomb landed on the ship just as Harver left. Then, after a few seconds, it blew up with a blinding light completely obliterating the last ship. "I love explosions."
Jas casts a stronger fire spell she learned, and ends up blowing the remains of the ship away at the same time the bomb hit. "Hehehe..."
"Frickin' awesome!" said Venice, watching the whole fabulous inferno.
"Well, I'm pretty sure that'll stop any attacks from those Scalans for a while." Lanbar said with a smile. "So...where do your parents live? I forgot."
Nice.... Oh wait! Crap! Oh well, when the time comes, I'll get my own ship..... Hey wait! That's not something to think about... Not yet at least..... Hmmmm..... Mira scratched his head.
((Talkin' about Jas' parents, right?))
((And are there any other parents that Lanbar can talk about? :P Yes, yes I am.))
((Shaddup I'm tired today. XP))
"My mom's on Crescent, where I'm from," Jas tells Lanbar. "But I don't want anyone following us there, so I wanna go find my dad. He should be doing business somewhere in Emit."
"Alright then." He said then running up to Tanbar and telling him to go to Emit. Tanbar made a turn toward the Whirl Channel to go to Emit.
Mira sat down. ♪I'm stuck in a basement, sittin' on a tricycle, girl getting on my nerves. Goin' out of my mind, I thought she was fine, don't know if her body is her's♪ *studio audience laughter* "Man, I'm bored."
Whew, that was close, Solon thought to himself, examining the bits of wood engulfed in flame that still floated at the surface of the water. He yawned and walked over to the constantly being repaired rail and ripped it off. Next, he walked over to the cannon and stashed the rail inside it. He began rummaging for his lighter so he could send the rail flying.
"Yeah, reeaal smart," Jas says sarcastically. "... Stupid," she mumbles, starting to walk away.
"Ok, if you want rum, you can get it yourself, for if I try to get you rum, the bottle will only blow up." Mira stood up and continued his search for the rest of the crew.
Jas is once again in her room, sitting on the bed. 'What was I looking for...?' "Oh yeah," she starts going through her belongings.
Zarani looked down at the glass. "Right..." He said, looking where the ships had been.
Hmmmmm, rum..... Naw, too risky. Or is it? I forgot how to cook with alcohol..... Let's ask drunk guy. Mira walked back to Zarani's location. "Hey, do you know anything about cooking with rum?"
"Absolutely. Put as much on a as possible." He replied.
"Now why do that? All the alcoholic properties of rum would be baked away."
((Sh0rTi's urge to resist jumping into the cooking convo = phail))
Jas hears the words 'cooking,' 'rum,' and 'baked' as she walks by. "The properties that make people drunk would be gone," she says. "But the flavor would stay."
"Hey, did I hear rum?" Lanbar said coming over. "I want some!"
Tanbar was steering the ship watching the small group gather. Now I wonder what they're talking about...
"Really? I always thought that alcoholic liquids were used as a flavorful way of cooking foods (and not rum flavorful, semi-burnt flavorful). The again, kerosene-cooked meats have an interesting taste...."
"No," Jas says. "You heard 'gum'. I want some gum!" She looks back at Mira. "... I just said that..."
((hehehe Jar of Dirt. XD http://youtube.com/watch?v=gRcj6CAhe7s))
"What kind of mental trickery are you trying? I heard 'rum'! I even said 'rum'. Wait...... Cooking with gum?"
"Let's just drop it," Jas starts going on her way again.
"Wait! Do you know anything about that light show earlier?"
"Light show?" Jas asks. "Oh yeah, that. That was me," she walks away.
o i c...... Mira sat down and looked at the sky.
"No alcohol? Bah, put it on once it's cooled." He said, waving his arms around.
"I'll keep that in mind once I get cooking."
Solon had missed out on most of that conversation while looking for his lighter, but after he found it he heard the word 'cooking'. "Hm? Who's cooking?" he asked as he lit the cannon, not thinking or aiming. "Shit!" he added afterwards as the cannon tipped and fired into the ground. "Uh... Uh..." Tanbar's gonna be so mad! The hole is huge! A fire starting burning in the middle of the ship, as well. "Oh my god, the ship randomly combusted with no help from me or the cannon! Someone get some water and put the fire out!" As he was shouting that, Solon grabbed a bucket and searched the ship for water.
Mira ran to Solon's location, took the bucket, took out his grappling hook, wrapped it around the bucket's handle, and threw it in the ocean ((getting to a place where this was possible, if it isn't)). Mira then pulled the grappling hook back, with the bucket full of water, then splashed the water at the base of the fire.
"..." Jas stares at the fire for a moment before drawing her blades. She twirls the one in her right hand, then slashes downwards. Jets of water come up and engulf the flame.
"What kind of magicry is that?"
Venice stared incredulously at the gaping hole Solon had made.
"Yeah. Obviously, the ship somehow set itself on fire and made a gaping hole in itself. Solon, if you're going to lie, at least make it slightly convincing."
"The type you shouldn't get involved with," Jas simply says.
Lanbar watched the two from a distance hiding behind the mast as to escape Tanbar's wrath. "Hey, you know...I think the fire would be the least of your problems because one, the water that should be coming through the hole would put out the fire...not to mention, make this ship sink. And two, I'd be hiding from Tanba-"
"Solon! What do you think you're doing!" Tanbar said jumping down to the deck and taking out his sword and swung it wildly running at Solon. "I'm gonna kill you if it's the last thing I do!"
"Oh, God. Damage his ship at all, and he goes crazy," muttered Venice. "I should probably help him. But the again, drunks should stop drinking. Wow. My logic is skewed..."
"You don't know what I've dealt with, do you? That kind of magic looks too simple to be the kind I shouldn't get involved with. If it required animal sacrifices, then sure, I shouldn't get involved, even though I have killed before."
"It looks too simple?" Jas glances back. "You don't know what I'm going through," she says, growling a bit as she keeps walking.
"You don't know what I've been through! It's nothing like what you are going through now!"
Zarani stood watching them all, rolling his eye. "Bloody hell..." His eyes opened with realization. "Oh, Jas!" He ran up to her, and stepped in front of her. "I don't suppose that I can be involved with this magic, savvy?" He said hopefully.
Mira crossed his arms, and put his right pointer to the area on the mask where the space between the eyebrows would be, had he not worn his mask. Why does she jump to conclusions? All I wanted to do was find out what kind of magic that was..... How bad could it..... Mira stopped mid-thought, slipping into some type of trance.
((lol Apollo Justice thinking stance XD))
Lanbar stepped out from behind the mast hoping that Tanbar was too focussed on being angry with Solon to be angry at anybody else, he was. "Hey, um, Mira, are you okay?"
Mira just stood there, still in the stance ((olololololol)).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What?! GAH! Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...."
Solon dodged Tanbar's blades. "You shouldn't keep a cannon on a ship like this, anyways!" Solon shot back. He took out his own sword, though he wasn't planning on using it other then to block.
Tanbar was still blinded with rage and ignrored Solon's comment as he continued to hack and slash.

"Why you guys would want to get into this, I don't know," Jas says, sighing. "Help how?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mira withdrew his bloody hand from the soldier whom he just killed with his bare hand. "What! Ninja!" Several more soldiers came out to attack Mira, but he went in and chopped the first one in half, decapitated the second, and suffocated the third. He kept on killing until there were no more soldiers to come after him.

Tanbar was still blinded with rage and ignrored Solon's comment as he continued to hack and slash.
Solon blocked each shot in turn with his sword. "Don't get into this with me, Tanbar. I'll fix the hole," he tried reasoning.
"Will you fix the rail too?" Tanbar said locking swords with Solon.
"Um...Mira?" Lanbar said tapping him as he still seemed to be in some sort of trance.
Venice just stared as Tanbar and Solon fought. "I wish I had my camera," he muttered, chuckling.
"Don't push it," Solon growled. "That rail caused too much trouble. We're better off just knowing where not to lean rather then constantly falling overboard."
Mira did not respond to Lanbar.
Jas considers flipping a coin to see whether or not she should cast one of her fire spells on Solon and Tanbar... they are really starting to annoy her.
((you guys got busy, sorry guys, but I have been having a lot of troubles with the computer, so could someone give me a summary...please?))
(( We started moving again. We're all on the ship, headed to Emit. Everyone's doing there own thing, I guess. Just be careful of the huge hole in the middle of the ship... ))
((Computer troubles? Yeah right. I see you on NS2 all the time)).
"Erm... I am a good target, if you can put up with blood... Just don't freeze me, savvy?" He explained. "And... There might be something I want in it for myself..." He grinned a tiny bit.
Jas stands there thinking for a bit. She still doesn't know of the person trapped inside her book. Of course there's the fact she always has to twist people's words around... "... Pervert," Jas starts going elsewhere on the ship.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Don't let anyone get in your way!" A man in glasses yelled, as Mira killed as many life forms in the city as possible
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zarani stood staring blankly at her.
Jas gets into her room, and closes the door behind her. She leans over a drawer and starts staring at herself in the mirror when it flashes quickly. "What the- HAAHH!?" Instead of her own reflection in the mirror, she sees some other female who's glowing slightly, a good five years older, several inches taller, with midnight-colored hair past the shoulders, fangs, golden eyes, and dog ears on top of her head.
"You really shouldn't jump to conclusions ya know," the person in the mirror says.
Jas closes her eyes tightly and keeps her head down. 'I am not going crazy. I am not going crazy. I am not going crazy...' She opens an eye, and looks at her still-glowing hands. Then she opens her other eye and looks in the mirror. "AAAAHHH!!! WHAT THE FUCK!?"
Mira's ear started to twitch from Jas' yelling. "Hm?"
Solon sidestepped out of Tanbar's way when he heard Jas' scream. Now what? He ran to her room and knocked on the door. "What the hell's going on in there? You're being louder then the cannon!"
Mira walked to Solon's location, but stayed behind Solon, but far enough for him not to notice Mira.
Harver walked out of the portal, and found himself in the study at Scalus. He plopped down on the chair, exhausted. Emit.
Hmm?
In a few minutes... I'm heading back to Emit. I want to pay respects to those who died in the fire. I also want to try to find the remains of my parents, and bury them. It's only right.
Harver...
Tanbar shook his head as Solon ran away. I need to stop getting so angry about these things...I might actually hurt someone one of these times. He then followed Solon but stayed a fair ways back as to not make Solon think that he was going to attack again. "I'm sorry, I was in a blind rage a few moments back." He said to Mira who he just happened to be standing by. "What's happening now?"
"Jas yelled, then we came, and if we are quiet, Solon might talk to Jas, allowing us to find out what's going on." Mira whispered.
"...Women." Zarani sighed, rolling his eye. He approached her door, joining the others. "Well, that sounded fun." He said sarcastically.
"If you yelled, I'd imagine we would do the same."
((Okay, this ship that the party was on, because if that's so, I'm going to type this one up. If i'm wrong or it doesn't suit, I'll edit it.))
Hanz? had been knocked unconscious due to the force of the ship rocking to one side and flew into the wall. He stirred to the sound of a woman screaming on board.
What the....this better be good..... Hanz? got up, swept the dust off himself, and walked up the stairs to the deck. He saw a crowd standing near a hallway, next to the door. He recognized them and identified them as some of the people that was at the party.
"Solon, Tanbar, Zarani, and ninja boy." Hanz? whispered to himself. Then he realized that the girl scream came from the room that they were looking in. Hanz? decided to make his entrance with some comical humor, which he will probably only understand.
"Oye, what are you fellas doing? Being a bunch perverts and not giving a girl her privacy?"
Jas takes a few steps back towards the door, still looking in the mirror. She watches the reflection fade from her own to the other girl's, while reaching back and opening the door. "This isn't exactly normal, is it?" Even though there's one form looking at the others, the voice of Jas and a different person can be heard.
Lanbar walked up next to Solon. Geez...I wonder why everybody else is so far back away from Solon?
"Listen," Mira carefully walked up to Hanzo. "If you were to examine the distance between us, Solon, and Jas, you would see that Solon is the only 'pervert'." Mira made the quote gesture when saying 'pervert'. "It's virtually impossible to see what's going on from here, so I must rely on my ears. I don't want any misunderstandings, which is why was so far away." Mira's ear twitched again upon Jas' words. "There is something wrong."
"You're an idiot." Zarani said simply, not even being bothered to look at Hanzo. "Obviously something is wrong with what's her face. And according to her, I'm a pervert too. Why? I have no idea."
"So far, there doesn't seem to be any other harmful life force within her room, which probably means that her magic is getting to her. That's probably why she told me that her magic is not the kind for me to research. It's probably from a spellbook, seeing as pure magic cannot give such side effects."
Jas glows a bit more, and fades into the form of the dog-eared woman. "Oh come on," she says to Zarani. "You should know she twists peoples words around..."
It's the voice that accompanied her yell. Should I investigate? Eh, I should at least be prepared. Mira push his hands on his knives.
"Er... Jas?" Solon asked, staring at her. What the hell? ...This is what happens when you mess with spell books... "Did you do that or... is it out of your control?"
The woman fades back into Jas. "I can't control it... I don't know what's going on really."
((Kinda describes how it's going back and forth... http://youtube.com/watch?v=p2xcHt1g8Ko))
"Ask the girl inside you," Solon suggested, almost wanting to poke Jas to see if she was real. This doesn't seem too bad so far... But we should get to Emit fast, just in case.
Harver got up from the chair and stared at the wall in front of him. I can't help but wonder... when will it all end?
It will be over soon enough.
I hope you're right, Emit.
He created the next portal, and stepped through it, on his way to the Land of Emit.
"Something gives me the feeling that Jas can't do that." Lanbar said to Solon. "...Can you?"
Tanbar had gotten back to the wheel of the ship watching what was happening from afar.
Before Jas can say anything, the other form takes over. "I'm a woman, thank you. A woman named Keisha Foxx," she says. "See, I was sealed inside that book for ten years," she avoids stating why however... "Whoever has possession of the book.. Jas... She needs to learn the spells in it before she gets all of my traits and well," Keisha closes her eyes, and holograms start forming in front of the others. They show a monstrous dark, shadowy figure with red eyes going on a rampage, destroying everything in sight. "Before she becomes that... I hope that hasn't already started, or is the reason she's been more aggressive."
Tanbar saw the figure in the hologram. Somehow...I knew something like that would happen to Jas.
"But...Is there any other way to stop this?" Lanbar asked. "Cause I don't want that...thing on my-"
"Our!" Tanbar shouted down to Lanbar.
How does he keep knowing whenever I say that? "...Our ship."
((LOL, "Tanbar shouted down to Tanbar". =P Who's calling to who now?))
Hm? Why is this? Mira moved closer to their location.
((NO!!! I have fallen prey to my own typo trap! D: ))
Suddenly, Keisha fades back into Jas. "Then what? I'm turning into something I don't want to become and all you think about is the SHIP!?" She growls. "You're might as well kick me out, cause I ain't even half near close to mastering all of them! Now that I think of it, I could destroy it all now..."
"That is your choice, not ours. Besides, I couldn't care less about this ship. I'm only here because we all have a common goal."
"No no. I'm sure your dad could help...Somehow." Now I know what Keisha meant by her becoming more aggressive.
"Keisha!" Zarani stepped forward and froze with his arms out as if he was about to hug her. "Wait... Sorry, Jas. You were someone else a moment ago, and I was going to hug her and... Never mind. Don't use the scary magic." Zarani shuddered.
"It's too late for that."
Jas thinks for a moment before speaking. "Oohhh, so that's who that was with you that night. But how'd she get... out...?
Venice watched all that was happening silently.
"It was Valentine's Day, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, that's the night I'm talking ab-" Jas turns back into Keisha.
"Jas, you, caused it without realizing it," Keisha says. "Your emotions and passionate love for-"
"Okay, okay, that's enough," Jas is in front of them once again.
"I thought as much.... So why must Jas learn everything in the spellbook again?"
"So I don't become what Keisha almost became," Jas says, finally understanding. "I think I'm becoming her... more and more since I opened the book. I guess if I learn what she couldn't we'll be recognized as different from eachother, and set apart..."
"And who set that curse?"
"And then she'll be free and you won't be scary crushy monster thingy and I'll have Keisha and Larry's your uncle, Margaret's your aunt." He nodded in agreement with what he said. "See? This is why I wanted to help you. I'm not perverted."
"Now what's this about Larry and Margret?"

"Now what's this about Larry and Margret?"
"
Never mind that, it's an expression." Zarani said with a wave of his hand.
"o i c."
"It was... Jas' parents that put me in that book," Keisha fades back into view. "Kinda ironic, but yeah," she says with a nod. "I'll be free..."
"I'm sure you will."
Keisha smiles and fades back into Jas. The glowing stops, signaling that she won't be seen again... for now.
"Jas, you really need to get to work." Mira started to walk off.
Zarani stood looking slightly down for a moment. "Damn, I thought she'd be here on a regular basis from now on..." He walked away quietly.
((this was a post that should be but for some reason didn't make it around the replies of my last post.
"Jeez, it was just a joke, you don't always have to take things seriously." Hanz? observed the scene.))
"Well don't feel bad Zarani!" Hanz? assured, patting Zarani on the back. "I'm sure that when Keisha get's out, she'll want to spend all of her time with you. Your at least lucky that she's with us, when mine's.........gone." Hanz? said with a motion of his hands like he dropped and lost something dear.
Mira took one step before hearing Hanzo's words. "How do you mean? Is she dead or something? There are still chances in which you could see her."
"I know Serenity's not dead, but....I don't think I'll ever be able to see her again. Don't you feel that same away about Alissa?" Hanz? turned towards Mira.
"The possibility exists, however, I believe that I will she her again. What's the cause of your doubt in your date?"
"Well, I'm an outsider, my clan will need me once again, right now they sent me to journey with you guys, but after we find the gems, I have to go back. I don't believe I won't get another chance, unless she comes along, which probably won't happen." Hanz? walked away from the group and hung by the railing, sighing as he stared at the rushing water.
"First of all, there is a chance you would meet with what's-her-name again. Besides, if you really were an outsider, you wouldn't be forced into working with your 'clan'."
"My clan...my clan...you don't know what they are like..."
Hm... Now things get interesting... Solon walked away from the scene and headed up by Tanbar. "How long till we hit the Whirl Channel, do you suppose?" Solon asked him, watching as he steered the ship.
"Gee, what makes your clan so special?"
"Oh, would you like to know. They are the most deadly assassins ever come together in a group. Me, well I'm a new recruit, I'm just learning the ropes, as you can see. However, we have already traveled to the farther reaches of the Oda Nobunga Empire and defeated him with a single blow from our forces. Why? Because we are stealth like, trained in the arts of deadly destruction such as poison, darts, shruikens, and arrows dipped in the finest coat of burning metal. And now, we seek the gems to destroy them before the Dead Men can use them for world chaos." Hanz? didn't feel like talking anymore and headed downstairs, feeling like he's given away too much information. He found an empty room where he could use as his sleeping quarters.
Jas rubs her head a bit before silently making her way back to her room. "Damn, now I feel like poop..." She curls up on her bed and starts looking through the spellbook.
Freaking bigmouth, shootin' off about his clan as if clans made a bit of difference. Besides, he said he was a new recruit. How the hell does that work? Was he adopted or something? Dumbass. Mira started to look around for someplace high up; the highest part of the ship.

Hm... Now things get interesting... Solon walked away from the scene and headed up by Tanbar. "How long till we hit the Whirl Channel, do you suppose?" Solon asked him, watching as he steered the ship.
"Oh, right. The Whirl Channel should be comming up in just a few minutes or so." Tanbar said.
Mira used his grappling hook to get to the point he saw.
Zarani trudged up to the deck and put on his hat. "Tanbar, Solon!" He walked over and stood by them. "Status report!... And when do we go find the Dead Men again?" He asked, looking at the water.
Mira removed his backpack and took out parts for a string instrument, then assembled it.
((Is it night time or day time in the RP?))
"Um...We are approaching the Whirl Channel shortly. The ship only suffered minor damage from the Scalan attack but Solon blasting a hole through a part of the ship may be a problem later if not fixed soon." Tanbar said while keeping his eyes fixed straight ahead at the sea. "And I don't know about when we'll go after the Dead Men. Presumably once we go to Emit and talk to Jas's dad."
Harver emerged from the portal in a familiar part of the Land of Emit. He was right next to his house, which was burned down. Everything had been burned to cinders; no visible pieces of anything remained. He took out the picture he had stolen from the scene awhile ago. He looked at his fair skinned mother and his smart father.
He put the picture away, and began to walk throughout the port city, trying to relive his fond memories of the place.
(( I'd say it's evening, maybe 5:00 in the RP ))
Solon walked out of the ship's main control room, deep in thought now about the Dead Men and the gems. He was remembering things Harver had hinted about them, and a sudden crazy thought popped in his head. Harver and your darn riddles... But that just might be it. Solon, suddenly excited, walked quickly back to Jas' room and knocked on the door. "Jas! Do you still have that ring Harver gave you?" Solon called, still knocking on the door.
"Huh?" Jas sits up and looks at the door. She had already been examining said ring after deciding to take a break from studying the spellbook. "Yeah, I do. Why wouldn't I?"
"Can I see it?" he asked hopefully, opening the door. "It'd look so much better on my finger," he added sarcastically as he held out his hand for it.
Mira started to play a tune that served as a farewell to the sun.
"Wait a minute," Jas is looking at the back of the ring like instructed at the end of the party.
"You know, I don't really think staring at the thing will make a difference," Solon replied with a yawn, leaning against the wall. "I think I might have a lead on this case. Mind if I examine it for a bit? You can come along if you're afraid I'll lose it or something." Solon rolled his eyes at the last part, knowing he was trustworthy even if the others didn't think so.
"I'm not staring," Jas stops herself from calling Solon a name. "I... I was told where to look on it, but fine," she hands the ring over.
Solon smirked and took the ring. "Thanks," he called over his shoulder as he walked out of her room. Harver talked about this ring as if it was God. Now just to figure out how it works... Solon walked back on deck, staring intently at the ring. Great, now I'm a hypocrite. Quick, do something with the ring so it looks like you aren't just staring at it! He put the ring on his finger, though it didn't fit and he felt weird so he quickly took it back off. While thinking of something else to do with it he felt the ground below him disappear.
"Whoa, crap!" Solon called out as next second he fell into the pit, the ring slipping from his fingers and landing with a crack! somewhere else in the hole. "Damn it!"
Mira stopped playing. "My senses are tingling!" Mira jumped from the high area and ran to Solon's location. "Is everything ok?"
Solon got up and shook his head to clear his thoughts. "Uh, yeah, hang on," Solon yelled back up. He took out his lighter so he could see better in the hole. "I... I think the ring broke." Solon wasn't sure if Mira would understand that, or even knew about the ring. Jas is going to kill me! he thought as he picked up the band, the jewel on it completely broken off. Solon looked up and realized he was farther down then he expected, 10-20 feet at best. "Thank god for my grappling hook," he muttered as he searched for the other pieces of the ring.
Tanbar gave himself a nice small, casual laugh to himself seeing that Solon fell into the new hole in the ship. serves him right to fall into the hole that he made in MY ship.
"I can help you if required."
Venice watched Solon fall and restrained a laugh.
((Wait a minute...If Solon is back on his trend of falling...does that mean that Jas will go back to being oblivious? [/logic]))

((What do you mean by Jas "going back to being oblivious"? I mean, when did she stop? :P))
((Jas was never oblivious in the first place. XP))
Jas comes out of her room upon hearing something crash. "... Probably Solon being stupid again..."
(( When had she stopped? And what do you mean Solon being stupid again D=. Everything happens for a reason :P ))
"Well, if you wanna help me look for the missing pie-" Solon stopped mid sentence and stared at the gem lying on the floor in front of him. That definitely wasn't on the ring before... He picked up the blue gem and stared at it for a couple more seconds before grinning triumphantly. "Heh, falling has finally paid off in the end."
(( That's not 'pie', it's 'pee' as in 'pieces'. ))
((Mmm...Pie...Oh, I'm sorry, what'd you say? :P))
Lanbar walked over to Jas was. "So...did Solon fall down a hole again?"
"Yep," Jas sighs and stares down the pit in the middle of the ship. "Hey, Solon, what are you doing now?"
"Heh, figures." Lanbar said also taking a look down.
Harver walked across the docks of his city, and looked out to the open sea. He felt the wind ruffle against his clothes, and brushed his red hair out of his face. And so the end is nearly at hand... well done, Solon.
Harver?
Unfortunately, your best won't be good enough... Harver pressed a button on his shirt, and an image of Kerow appeared before him. "Assemble the men. Solon and his gang have found the Scalander Gem." He felt the presence of the gem slowly come closer. "Prepare to ambush them at the Land of Emit. Once you have done that, bound them. I want to see their defeat for my own eyes..."
Solon wasn't bothered by the comments, he was too busy smirking wildly at his new find. He used his grappling hook to get back up, the other parts of the ring forgotten in the pit. "Does this look familiar?" Solon asked, holding the Scalander Gem in front of Jas, but out of reach. "And I think we can say it's all thanks to me falling."
Mira jumped into the hole and looked for the missing parts of the ring.
Lanbar burst out laughing while saying. "Well whaddaya know! Solon's constant falling has finally paid off!"
Tanbar squinted his eyes to see what Solon was holding. "What!? How'd you get that gem!?" He shouted down at Solon.
"A gem," Jas laughs a little. "Too bad I have this weird feeling that something bad's gonna happen..."
Mira looked up at the group. "wat?"
"Not only did my falling pay off," Solon commented off of Lanbar's reply, then turned to Tanbar, "but the hole I made in the ship helped me big time." He then turned back to Jas. "Your gem." He tossed it to her. "And nothing bad's going to happen. Trust me, I'll make sure that every last one of you guys comes out alive... And victorious." He gave a triumphant smile, eyes shining as he stared at the sky. It was getting late and dark, he turned to see the Whirl Channel coming in the distance. We'll be at Emit soon...
"Should I keep looking for the parts of the ring, or is it not important?"
"No importante my amigo," Solon replied happily. "We've got what we've been looking for. Now just to get the other gems from the Dead Men and-" They had just hit the Whirl Channel, and Solon lost his balance and fell back into the pit, landing right on top of Mira. "-finish this... Ow..."
Jas catches the gem, and fixes it so it'd go around her neck with the other one she has. "Well you c- wait, other parts? What happened to it?"
((She had stolen one during Operation: Jas the Ho' for those who don't remember. XD))
((wat))
Mira slowly pushed Solon off. "Other pieces of what now?"
"Oh, right. Sorry about forgetting to warn you guys." Tanbar said down to the guys.
"It's alright. I'm getting used to this kind of thing." Lanbar said standing up again trying to regain his balance on the speeding ship.
(("Operation: Jas the Ho'" happened before you joined.))
"Nevermind," Jas sighs. 'Damn, I liked that ring too...'
((I remember; the Scale Gem, am I right?))
Harver saw the ship approaching from the distance. The final confrontation... Kerow teleported to Harver's side. "I've called Heronn and the others," Kerow said to Harver. "We are set to ambush them as soon as they dock. Soon, we will have all the gems! Mage Riolo will be greatly pleased!!"
After Kerow appear, Zaronn teleported to the two. "So this is it, my last fight with those guys." But more importantly, my last fight with Lanbar and Tanbar. They've been a needle in my side for too long now.
(( Oh yeah, sometimes I like to review the scene in my mind- Just kidding, but yeah I remember it now that you remind me. ))
Sweeney, Heronn, and Steph appeared beside Lord Kerow. "Time to crack some skulls," Sweeney growled. Heronn nodded with a smile and Steph cracked his knuckles.
"Showtime," Heronn whispered, eyes glowing with excitement and lust for killing.
---
Solon had a feeling in the pit of his stomach, though he wasn't sure what it was. "If we don't get the rest of the gems now, it's over for us," Solon whispered, pain in his eyes. "This is it."
"Alright. We'll be docking soon. So Jas, I guess you'll lead the way to your father." Lanbar said looking at the approaching land of Emit.
((Care to summarize "Jas the Ho'"?))
"Oh come on! I came down here for nothing?" Mira yelled, annoyed.
Kerow looked at the others. "Remember, we won't kill them right away. We shall bind them and send them to Mage Riolo in our chamber. We shall have all five gems, and our plans will soon become complete!"
((MAJOR LOL MOMENT!!! As I read Dr.Hobo's last post, a scene popped into my head.
Jas: You told me you killed my father!
Kerow: No... I AM YOUR FATHER!
Jas: No... that's impossible... noooooooooooo!!!
Sorry, just had to post that. XD))
"Oy, we almost there mates?" Zarani called. He took out a telescope and slid it out, pressing it to his eye and looking around. "I think we're close."

"Right..." Zaronn said a bit disgruntled that he wasn't going to finish Lanbar and Tanbar off right away.
Lanbar grabbed some rum from the cellar and started drinking it just because he wanted some at the moment.
((Oh wow LS. XD Good thing I know THAT one's not gonna be true. XD))
"We're going to get them," Jas says, closing her eyes and beginning to glow slightly again. During the time she had been in her room, she was taking in the rest of the spells. 'I just hope it isn't too late... I don't know how long I can go without turning into that demon...' "Heh, my dad... he'll probably come to us..."
((Okay, as for the 'Ho' thing... Jas pretty much disguised herself and seduced one of the Dead Men into giving her the Scale Gem, though nothing... nasty... actually happened...))

((It could be true... >> <<'))
((Acutally, it wasn't a DM, it was Zaroff, he was the captain of the Scalan army and he got immense power from the Scale gem.))
((Wouldn't they notice soon that most of the buildings are gone?
@Shorti: Or is it? o_O))
"Soon, however," Kerow said, smiling maliciously, "they will all be dead."
((You know, it could be true. Jas's parents have all that magicky stuff, and apparently, her dad knows some magic. Kerow has magicky stuff and knows magic. Plot twist! :O
There was a full moon in the sky and a light, cold breeze. Emit was right in front of them now, they just needed to dock. "Hopefully, the Dead Men are here. It'll be great to finish them off and get the gems back!" And they won't even be able to use the Crescent gem until I'm dead, and that sure as hell hasn't happened yet, He thought to himself with a triumphant smirk.
"k." Mira used his grappling hook to get out of the hole.
((@Org: I think Jas would go slit her wrists or something if that were the case. >.>
@LS: They would notice
@Hobo: I thought you said he joined them. 0.o
@Everyone: NO! Jas' dad is this pwnsome Blade-like guy.))
"I think they are here," Jas says, biting her lip a bit. "I mean, why else would the place be... gone..."
((XD @ Tri. Also, our reply count is... over 4000!!!))
Kerow smiled as the ship came into clear view. "Prepare yourselves," he said to his Dead Men. Harver smirked as the ship prepared to dock. Our journey is almost over.
And so we go.
((Zaronn joined the DM leaving his idiot of a brother Zaroff alone. ;)))
"Well...it could have been just a natural fire. And last I remember, they didn't have any sort of fire powers." Tanbar said down to them sterring the ship toward the dock.
"My senses are.... No..... Something's.... Nah..... I sm.... No..... I think..... Nah......" Mira tried to come up with a phrase to use to express his feelings about the future.
Zarani removed his bandanna and eyepatch, revealing his blood eye. "I want to see the blood of every Dead Man tonight. And I will."
((Just a question, is Tess included in the Dead Men? Or does she now not exist.))
((I'm pretty sure that only characters introduced in the actual RP exist as Dead Men. But, you'll have to consult Birdie on that one.))
((@Hobo: Oooh, okay))
"But did you forget that they are destructive?" Jas asks Tanbar, pulling her mask over her face, and equipping the rest of her items.
"Oh hey! You have a mask?" Mira asked Jas for no reason.
"C'mon. I'm just trying to be a bit possitive at this time." Esspecially because it may be the LAST time! Boy, I'm nervous.
(( I have no idea who Tess is XD But if she wasn't introduced in this RP, then no she isn't ))
"They're here," Solon said matter-of-factly. "They're waiting." Solon knew the Dead Men well, and there wasn't one reason for them not to be there. As the boat steered into the dock, Solon stood in front of the exit of the ship. "Er, I think we need some pep talk before we go out there. I think something big is about to happen..."

As the boat steered into the dock, Solon stood in front of the exit of the ship. "Er, I think we need some pep talk before we go out there. I think something big is about to happen..."
((Tess is a Dead Woman. ^^ But yeah, no exist, then.))
Zarani yawned. "
I don't need a pep talk, I just need to get riled up a bit." He said simply.
"Huh? Are we there -hic- now?" Lanbar said stumbling out to the deck of the ship.
Great...now he's drunk...but then again, it's as if he fights better when drunk...weird. Tanbar thought this as he gently brought the ship up to the dock. "Alright guys...this is it." He said walking down to the deck and over to Solon.
"Ah! Ah! I knew it!" Mira yelled, getting all jumpy.
"Yeah," Jas says to Mira, her nose and mouth now covered. "I have a mask so I can be protected from gasses and things like that." She ties her hair back as the glowing around her gets more intense.
"As smart as that may be, why don't you wear like as often as I do? "
"There's no need for me to be in my ninja gear twenty-four/seven," Jas looks into the city.
Zarani walked over next to Jas. "I uhh... I don't suppose you can change into Keisha at will? I'd like to talk to her before things get ugly." He said hopefully.
"That's true. It's not like any of the crew members might become possessed and try to kill you at night or anything."
Venice looked out into the city. People will die here tonight, he thought emotionlessly. Don't know why I think that, but still...
"Look guys, I've got a feeling there's gonna be something big when we walk out there. Like... Like an army prepared to fight. Who cares about all the battles we've lost before. This is the war, and that's the important thing to win. Fight your best, don't die, and I'm glad to have the chance to work with all of you. Remember, this is for the world."
Strange how we've all come together... Traitors, theives, ninjas, pirates, killers, ex Dead Men, all alike, but then again so different. Half of us probably started with bad intentions, as well. But here we are... God this reminds me of SSBB...
"...Shoud we all put our hands in and yell a cool cheer or something?"
"What's the point? I'm all ready to kill." Mira pulled his knives out and prepared to take out his gun if needed..
Tanbar led Lanbar over to the exit of the ship trying to prevent him from falling. "I don't think Lanbar could do that if he tried right now."

Zarani walked over next to Jas. "I uhh... I don't suppose you can change into Keisha at will? I'd like to talk to her before things get ugly." He said hopefully.
Jas has already taken on Keisha's form. "What are you talkin' about? I'm right here." She hears Solon's comment. "I don't think there's a need for that..."
Mira jumped off the ship and on to the land.
Zarani looked up in slight surprise. "Keisha... Don't die out there. Please. If things get bad, get out. And take care of Jas, since you're pretty much sharing a body right now." He stood silent for a minute, then threw his arms around her and kissed her. He turned around and threw his hands in the air with a cheer. "Victory or death!" He shouted, and he vaulted over the side of the ship into Emit.
Solon sighed, knowing he'd either come out, or he wouldn't. He waited on the ship, deciding to be the last to get off. Solon leaned against a rail, staring off into space, daydreaming about his life and all the different turns that made his fate. He wondered how things could have been different, and if this was all for the better.
Tanbar jumped off the ship while Lanbar sorta just...fell...but he did land in a convinient pile of hay. "...He's so lucky right now." Tanbar commented picking him up and setting him on his feet. I just hope he brings some of that luck onto the battlefield.
Venice rushed out of the boat, knife drawn.
Keisha/Jas start to walk off the ship, fading back and forth from one to the other. They look back at Solon. "Come on," both of them can be heard as Jas' form appears.
Harver teleported without a word onto the deck of the ship. Only Solon and he remained. "So... this is it."
((I gotta sleep now. Can we put it on hold... Pweeeaaaaseeee?))
((I have to get off in a few minutes, too... Damn! Just when things are just about to heat up...))

((That's life throwing fast balls at you, and you without a bat.))
(( Me too xD. I want atleast 3 hours of sleep before school tomorrow. Lets definitely hold this off until most of us are here. This is too big for just two or three of us to do. Hopefully mostly all of us can be here like tonight. It'd be awesome if we could get all of us to be here. ))
Solon looked back at Harver and nodded solemnly. "So it seems." Solon kept a finger on his sword, not sure whether to draw it and attack, or to just wait. He kept his eyes firmly on Harver.
"And whoever thought it would come to this?" Harver asked, also keeping his hand close to the hilt of his blade.
((Hah, I'm on Spring Break! =P Good night to all who are going to bed for the evening. Also, quick poll: Who thinks Harver is evil, and who thinks Harver is good?))
((Lucky. >_> My spring break just ended. School starts again tomorrow...And I say Harver is EVIL! >:D))
Tanbar saw Harver appear on the ship. Uh oh...what should I do? Go to the other Dead Men or help Solon right now...Gah!
(( Like I've said since the beginning, Harver is good. He said before that he was only joining the Dead Men for Jas, what kind of truly evil guy does that? Then again, I don't know why he would alert Lord Kerow about us having the Scalander Gem... Maybe to make it more epic when he shows that he really is good?
And I get my spring break next month D= It's 1 AM where I am... Who else lives in the Eastern time zone? ))
"It was always going to come to this," Solon replied. "I just never thought you'd be the target of my blade." You never seemed evil... Then again, maybe those are the kind most likely. Look at Venice, he may be cold, but he's still a good guy.
((Damn... oh well, I have soccer practice in the morning even though I'm on Spring Break. I should've been asleep... and I'm not sure how to answer that poll. Gotta think about that one. Don't do anything drastic, or I'll be forced to neuter people... Night!))
(( What is with everyone on Spring Break? Psh, when I'm in California next month, you'll all be wishing you had your Spring Break in April... Anyway, I'm out for the rest of the morning. Hopefully we can drag this out so I can get to 300 pages... ))
((I'll miss this when it ends though. X.x Okay, I'm leaving for real now, night!))
((Night Sh0rTi. I have something to do tomorrow as well, and I have no idea when I'll be back)).
((Hey, Birdie. I live in California! XD
Btw, you should update the whole "the gang" part on the first page. I believe Hanzo and Mira are in the gang now.))
"Same here," Harver said, examining the situation and everyone's whereabouts. I have to plan this flawlessly.
((This will be EPIC... XP I can't tell who'll be fighting who.))
(( Fine, LS, you win xD. My bro lives in Los Angeles, California. Maybe you've seen him in some of the clubs or at the casinos. He's a big poker player, it's his job ><. Heh, maybe I'll see you when I go, I'll be visiting almost every city and site when I get there.
@Org- It better be epic. I want this to end with a bigger bang that that darn one that was heard all around the world. And that shot was revolutional, man!))
Solon unsheathed his blade quickly, but didn't strike with it. "You shouldn't be here. When I fight you, I want everyone to see you fail," Solon growled, though he didn't quite mean his harsh words.
((So, how many Dead Men are there?))
(( Lemme think... Sweeney, Heronn, Steph, Zaronn, Lord Kerow, Harver, Mage Riolo... Is that all of them? I think that might be it. ))
((Chicago > Everywhere else. I win. XP And don't you mean 'revolutionary' or something like that BoA?))
Jas moves forward through the destroyed city, hands on the hilt of her blades, until she feels a presence behind her. She whips around to see her own father standing there. "Heh, go figure..."
"Yeah, figured you do something stupid like use that darn book..." They walk silently with quite some distance between them
((But what are we gonna do after it ends? I mean, BAM! Huge fight, we're done... no aftermath RP or anything?))
"Sooooo.... What now?"
((Sorry, I'm in Northern California. But my friend lives in Southern California.))
Harver unsheathed his blade as well, taking a defensive fighting stance. "Don't I get a say in where, when, and how I fail?"
((I just noticed... Harver's the only person from the Land of Emit! XD Most everyone is from Scalus or Crescent.))
(( And I think Mira is the only guy from Nimbuslus Land as well... Strange how unpopular those ones are xD. They turned out to be pretty important places, too...
@Shorti- It's not like the RP will just end after the battle. There's always that little bit at the end where you smooth things out so it doesn't end abruptly. Like an epologue of some sort. Well, I've never seen a finished RP so I guess I wouldn't know >< ))
Solon smirked and gave a shrug. "Sure. Where, when, and how would you like to fail?" Solon asked. "If it's convenient enough for me, maybe I'll spare you a detail you're just dying to have as a final wish."
Harver smiled. "You're as carefree as ever, Solon," he said. "Unfortunately, that doesn't help at a time like this. Nothing does."
Venice decided to remain close to the boat, so if/when things went wrong, he could make a quicker getaway. He paused when he heard Solon. Bad puns. Hate bad puns. he thought. He decided to go into the town to avoid being caught in the crossfire between Solon and Harver.
"What do you mean? Nothing is happening at the moment."
((Perfect background music! http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=X7A57tLD08k&feature=related ))
(( lolz wut? i dont c bad punz1! And... Congrats on rank up I Am A Person. I think just one more and you get to the good color, blue. ))
"Good, cause we don't need help. You've got a few 'bad ass' Dead Men on your side, sure. But we've got an army of skilled fighters just waitin' to take you down. All of you. C'mon Harver, when have the good guys lost? The Gods don't want the world destroyed, so everyone's on our side," Solon pointed out. He shook his head and sighed. "I don't see why you chose this path, Harver. You don't make out to be a good bad guy at all. You make a bad bad guy, and that's the worst kind."
((k thanks)).
"Shall we kill him?" Mira said with some excitement in his voice.
I LOVE it when double negatives work out. Harver thought, trying to clear his head. "Or maybe it's the Dead Men who are on the good side? Honestly; have the gods ever told you they wanted the gems destroyed? Maybe the wish to cleanse the earth of the awful souls currently existing on Vulcum."
Solon held up a hand towards Mira, telling him to wait. "And who do you think these 'awful souls' are?" Solon growled back, not liking Harver's thoughts on the subject. "The Dead Men, by trying to rule the planet, are saying 'Hey, I'm better then the Gods!' and they're not. They're scum. You thought the same back when you were with us. But, I guess we were all fools to trust any of your crazy reasoning."
"Heh, I can tell you never really cared for my riddles," Harver replied.
((@Birdie: Odd how in this RP, we're trying to kill each other, yet my character is helping your character in another RP.))
And what about Jas? Is Harver leaving her for the Dead Men? Mira lowered his head at the thought.
((You know...I was just about to say the same thing LS. :P...Oh, and on another note...So is it only going to be Harver and Solon fighting here or what? ????))
(( We're saving the battle for when most people are on... Plus we've still got that Demon Jas thing to work out :O. And as for the different RP things, man that's ironic xP. Quick, get Jake to hate Kyle! ))
Solon shrugged. "There's no point in them, is what I think," Solon admitted. "Just giving us the Scalander Gem would have been a whole lot faster and easier. Why hide it in a ring?"
"I have my reasons," Harver said, leaning against the railing, his sword resting in his hand and across his shoulder. "Could it be because I wanted to work your brains a little, showing I'm actually on your side? Or could it be that I wanted to keep you from finding it for awhile so that at the final confrontation, the Dead Men could take all the gems at the same time?"
"And why do you always end with questions? It's like I'm watching Lost. By the time I solve one riddle, you've thrown two or three more at me! Your riddles don't matter anymore, Harver. Even if you did succeed in taking our gems, you still won't be able to use one of them. Besides, I'm positive that my team will come out on top!" Solon gave a diagonal slash with his sword to the air, just to emphasize his point.
((Lulz 'DMDTS Jas' Soundtrack'... still in the making.))
Jas and her dad walk through the silence of the city. "... How... how am I supposed to turn back to normal?"
"You used to be normal?" Jas' father smirks a bit. "You know what you have to do..."
"That last spell," Jas glances at the ground. 'I haven't used it, but I can tell it's powerful... Just thinking of it's name makes me shiver.'
"And you know what'll happen if you don't," he adds, making Jas grip her weapons tighter.
Harver returned to his fighting stance. "We'll just see about that."
Solon smirked and raised his blade. "Let me show you who you're dealing with." Solon made the first swipe, a quick forward stab at Harver's stomach.
((Cue "One-Winged Angel".))
Harver jumped back quickly, so that the stab barely grazed his shirt. ...He's faster! He retaliated with a slash of his own.
Solon piveted to the side and used the force to swing his sword and stab again at Harver's side. You've been waiting for this, Solon. One mistake and you're toast. Keep your head in the game and don't back down!
((Getcha getcha getcha getcha head in the ga- Oh, sorry. I just had to say that. XP))
Tanbar couldn't get a good view of the fight so he dropped Lanbar to lay drunk on the hay and went back onto the ship to watch.
Not just fast...! Harver stepped back again, and then made two veritcal slashes. I have to take a slight offensive, but I can't cut any vital organs. Lord Kerow and Mage Riolo wouldn't like that...
(( NOOOO! NOT HSM! That is Solon's one true weakness! ))
Solon blocked the slashes horizontally, though he misread one and it punctured his left arm. The cut was small and not even on his sword hand, so Solon was lucky. Solon swiped diagonally across at an increased speed, then swerved and came back up with a vertical thrust.
((Dead Men: *singing* We're all in this together...
Harver: Unfortunately.
Solon: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!))
Venice wandered aimlessly through the wreckage. Is anything gonna happen soon? he wondered to himself.
Harver blocked the swipe and lost his balance a bit, but the thrust caught him off guard and nicked his left arm. He quickly skipped back and got into a defensive stance again.
(( That'd give me- Uh, Solon nightmares DX ))
Sweeney appeared a few feet behind Venice. He leaned against a wall and whistled. "What are you, blind? I'm behind you, fool!" he called with a nasty snicker.
---
Steph appeared by Lanbar and Tanbar. "Why am I always sent to take care of the drunks?" Steph sighed. "This shouldn't be a problem at all."
---
Solon smirked and drew back slightly. "Don't play with me, Harver. You're not going all the way with me. Why's that?" Solon figured it was for his master's bidding, but he wanted to believe that Harver wouldn't kill him if he had the chance either. Solon wasn't sure what he would do just yet.
"Gah!" Tanbar jumped back next to Lanbar from the appearance of Steph.
"...Who the hell are -hic- you?" Lanbar said waving a drunk hand at Steph.
"Mage Riolo wants to see your defeat for his own eyes," Harver said, taking a breather. "And so do I. Therefore, I'm avoiding cutting any major organs. So actually, this whole fight is rendered pointless."
((G2G. D: I'll be back on in about two hours, though. I've got tennis practice, and then dinner.))
(( Cya. Hopefully by then I'll be done with this 12 paragraph essay... ))
Steph smirked. "Oh, it's you. Sweeney took a real liking to you two, I'm surprised he's not here to watch your defeat. He said himself he wanted to be the one to kill you." Steph shrugged and raised a hand. "Overeasy or Sunnyside up?" He asked before sending hot, electrifying currents at the two of them.
---
Solon sighed and nodded. "I thought you'd like to be the one to finish me off. But this fight isn't completely pointless. No one's stopping me from cutting vital organs!" Solon jumped high into the air and came down with his sword under him, horizontally down, aiming for Harver's shoulder.
"Great. I get what's-his-face. The annoying one. What was his name again? Started with an 's' or something," said Venice, not bothering to turn around and look at Sweeney.
((*Destroys whoever mentioned High School Musical*))
Jas' father stops walking abruptly. "Did you even learn anything?"
Jas herself takes a few more steps before swiftly drawing one of her blades and charging at the man. He turns around and blocks with his own sword.
((Dun worry, just some of their... normal... sparring.))
Sweeney got annoyed by that comment and swung Venice around so he was facing him with his mind. "Weren't you taught manners, boy?" Sweeney growled, but then laughed. He walked closer to Venice. Great, I'm stuck with the annoying one. What was his name again? Vector? "Listen, Vector, if you play your cards right, you just may live."
---
Heronn watched Jas and her father fight, hidden from view. He noticed right away that Jas had the two gems around her neck, and he watched them hungrily.
What's this I'm feeling? Are the Dead Men here? No, it's probably just Harver.....
Zarani approached Heronn from behind and tapped him on the shoulder. "Ahoy there." He said, drawing his gun.
((I have no idea what Heronn talks like or anything. Anyone want to control him for me...? X_X Or should I fight Kerow... I'unno.))
"Two things," responded Venice. "One, yes, I learned manners, but never found much use for them. Two, why bother bargaining for my life? Everything and everyone has a time to die. Oh, and maybe a third thing as well. LET GO OF MY MIND YOU SICK FREAK!"
((Quit stealing my thoughts Birdie. T_T :P))
((...Org has epic ideas for Zarani's fight. EPIC. And you all gotta read them, cause they're epic. EPIC.))
(( I control Heronn, so PM them to me xD. Maybe I'll go along with them. ))
Heronn whirled around and chuckled when he noticed it was Zarani. "Not dead yet, I see. Must I make a second hole in your stomach?"
---
Sweeney smirked and leaned back against the wall. He let go of Venice's mind. "Your time to die is soon, let me warn you. If not now, then very, very soon. Your whole group will die. Every last one of you, once we've gotten the last two gems that you will willingly hand over," Sweeney said. He was merely talking for pleasure, relaxed against the wall.
♪I'm stuck in a basement, sittin' on a tricycle, girl getting on my nerves♪ *studio audience laughter* ♪Goin' out of my mind, I thought she was fine, don't know if her body is hers♪. Man, I'm bored,Mira sat on the ground he was standing on.
Zarani thought about it for a moment. "No." He finally said. "I think we should just forget about all this for now. After all, I've thought about it and I'd rather be a Dead Man than one of these do-gooders who are about to die."
This guys a moron. And a cocky one at that, thought Venice. But I can't attack him without him controlling me. So... I probably shouldn't have thought that out loud. Wait. How do you think out loud? I'm confusing myself. Uh...
"You do know that I don't have any of the gems anyway, right?" said Venice. "Jas has all the gems. But I guess your leader wants us all dead to get us out of the way. Makes sense. Anyway, I don't care about your plans. Go ahead and kill us all."
((Sh0rTi has even better epic ideas. XP))
Jas jumps away from her father before she can attack again upon hearing voices nearby. She recognizes Zarani's, but not the other. "This is my fight..."
Understanding what she means, Jas' father nods and puts a hand on her head. "You better be careful," he walks away, disappearing as his coat blows in the wind.
Jas looks in the direction she heard Zarani and Heronn. "Alright, come out!"
Heronn gave a nasty smile. "Really? Well, as you know to be a Dead Man, you must take a test. Kill her," Heronn pointed at Jas, "and you'll be back on with us. Make sure to bring her dead body back to me, there are some things attached to her that we need."
---
"Not yet," Sweeney replied with a cold laugh. "I admire your courage and loyalty to your side of things. If I actually cared, thinking about what is about to happen to you all would have saddened me. Don't worry, your time to die will come soon. First, I want some fun." Sweeney stood straight and gave Venice a bow before taking out his sword. "You may have learned that it's polite decorum to bow before your opponent. Now bow."
Eh, screw it, I'm going back to the ship. Mira did just that.
Zarani turned towards Jas, then suddenly turned back towards Heronn. "I know you, and there's a good chance you won't keep your word... Shake on it, mate." He held out his hand to Heronn.
((Why do I get the feeling that Boa's been reading too much? :|))
"Why don't you make me?" said Venice, even though he knew Sweeney could do that easily. He didn't bother drawing a weapon, preferring to annoy Sweeney even more.
Tanbar jumped out of the way of the lightning bolt with a frightened yelp while Lanbar sort of collapsed on the ground nearly avoiding the attack. "Geez...It seems like a lot of people would like to kill us." Tanbar said taking out his sword.
"Yeah...-hic-" Lanbar said taking a few tries at getting up before succeeding. "Zaroff, Zaronn, Ssssweeney. The lissst -hic- goessss on."
((What makes Zarani think he'd keep his word even if they shake on it? XD))
Jas growls, getting impatient, and begins running to find her enemy, appearing to be a blur.
(( XD Did you get where that's from? I've actually probably been watching too many movies. With DVR and the new flat screen HD Blue ray hooked up I've been trying to record as many movies as I can on the TV, even if I don't like them, to turn it into a mini movie theater. ))
Sweeney gave a wicked smile and forced Venice to bow. "If you refuse to fight, that is only your loss," Sweeney warned before swiping lightly at Venice's arm, if it hit it would be the equivalent of a paper cut.
---
"Hm... But I don't trust you either, see?" Heronn replied. "You have it out to kill me, and all I want is world power. Whether you are on that same team that got me the power, I don't care." Heronn's eyes fluttered back at the gem's on Jas' neck. With a snort, Heronn took Zarani's hand, eyes narrowed. "I'll shake on it, though."
---
Steph laughed loudly. "Actually, this just might be fun." He aimed another bolt at Tanbar, missing purposely by a few centimeters just to frighten him.
"No point in fighting a battle you can't win. Besides, I don't have a sword," said Venice, allowing the sword to nick him, causing the equivalent of a paper cut.
((I think I got the reference. Mind controlling freak of nature forces unwitting enemy to bow just before a fight, because it's proper "manners." Gee I wonder. [/sarcasm] >_>
Tanbar jumped up and so did his hair as the attack crackled past him. "Gah! This doesn't seem very fair." I wish I had some candy to calm my nerves...or just to eat as a last death wish.
Lanbar was stumbling over to Steph and tried to land a punch but it completely missed Steph and he fell to the ground next to him and just layed there, as if he fell unconscious.
"You lose." He said simply. Zarani's hand turned into a thick layer of blood, which began to stab at Heronn's hand.
Heronn had expected a dirty trick like that. He narrowed his eyes and howled with rage. He sent a blast of wind out, shooting right through Zarani's stomach again and sending Heronn flying backwards. "You'll pay for that, Zarani!" he spat.
---
Sweeney merely smirked. "You have other fighting utensils," he replied and aimed another miniscule cut at Venice's shoulder.
---
Steph howled with laughter at both of them. Using his electric currents he picked Lanbar up and steadied him. "Is this seriously my competition?" he asked, crying from laughing so hard.
Lanbar stood there standing perfectly but it could still be seen in his woozy eyes that he was still drunk. "Yeah...ssso?"
"Hey! Stop that!" Tanbar said with his voice almost cracking. "I can still fight!" He said raising his sword shakily.
Zarani was sent shooting back. "No I won't." He retorted, firing three shots at him while still in the air. He went flying over and hit a wall near Jas. "Ah, hello." He said, standing back up, and inspecting the hole in his stomach with a wince.
((...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EM5ubRDS_c Seems like something that'd be going on during the battle...))
Venice winced as the blade created another small cut. "So? I guess I should fight. But then again, Lanbar should stop drinking."
((Is he still being controlled by Sweeney?))
(( No, Sweeney just forced him to bow, then let go. ))
"Ah, on the contrary, I think drinking is what strengthens Lanbar," Sweeney replied, remembering his encounter with the twin drunk. "It empowers him. If he did not drink, he'd be as helpless as you are by not defending yourself." Sweeney jabbed at Venice's side, if it hit it would be a deeper cut, but still not fatal or too deep.
---
Heronn dodged the first two shots, then sent the third back with his wind. "We are evenly matched, both sharing the powers of the Dead Men," Heronn pointed out. "This shall be interesting..."
---
Steph couldn't even reply, he was on his knees cracking up. He was an obvious target, though he didn't even realize it.
"Seems like it." He said, standing up and putting his finger to his eye.
((Makes me think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay7CUQ0vFBc ))
Jas fades into Kei for a moment. "Zarani..." She changes back into Jas, who's eyes are now turning blood red.
((I'm guessing Jas won't get to fight. -_-))
Lanbar started to stumble around again accidentally bumping into Steph every once in a while. That's when Tanbar saw the openning and had an idea. "Hey, Lanbar!."
"...Huh?" Lanbar said turning to him.
"He's gonna take your rum!" Tanbar shouted to Lanbar.
"....What!?...-hic-" Lanbar became furious and lifted back his leg and swung down with it right at Steph's...erm...natural weak spot. ;)
"It strengthens him, but as he usually ends up unconscious on the floor after drinking, it really doesn't matter," said Venice. Once again, he didn't dodge. He examined the wound for a moment, and after finding that it wasn't too serious, looked around. Meh. If I'm lucky, I'll find some random sword somewhere in the ruins. Not likely, but it's worth a try looking. But what's-his-face probably won't let me go. Oh well. If I'm going to die, might as well fight, but a knife won't be much use against a sword... Y'know, I could just keep annoying him and hope he loses his temper. I really need to stop thinking my plans. I wonder if he can read minds.
He glanced to the nearest ruin and noticed that it wasn't too badly damaged. There was an anvil inside, and what was once a furnace. In fact, several swords were hanging from a rack against a wall, miraculously undamaged.
Wow. What a coincidence. Still, Swill probably won'tlet me get one. Or was it Sweeney. Or maybe Todd. I can't remember.
With that, he walked slowly into the ruin to retrieve a sword.
Mira saw what was happening on the ship. Hmmmm.... Assassinate the brother's enemy or the other guy's enemy? Mira thought, keeping himself hidden.
Zarani looked at her, than back to Heronn. He sprinted forward and kicked forward, shooting a spike of blood at Heronn.
((...She might. I don't get what you mean, though.))
((She's been pretty much ignored until Zarani said something.))
Sweeney waited for Venice to retrieve the sword. He had been waiting for a more challenging opponent.
---
Steph cried out, this time from pain. He grabbed his 'natural weak spot', eyes twitching. He collapsed and landed in fetal position, trying to regain breath.
---
Heronn used his wind to jump farther into the air and out of reach of Zarani. He flipped and landed by Jas. "What is wrong with your friend?" Heronn asked, not caring, as he looked at Jas' blood red eyes. "Is she bleeding from the eyes like you are?" Heronn gave a cold laugh, but still watched Jas with a cocked eyebrow.
"Don't let any of them get away!" Kerow shouted at his fellow Dead Men. He then clasped his hands together and began to focus.
***
Harver let the blow hit, as he was unprepared for another attack so soon. The blade sank through his shoulder and came out through the other time. He gasped. "Heh," he grinned, coughing up blood. "I wasn't expecting that."
Solon drew his sword back, surprise on his face as he doubled back. He gritted his teeth, he hadn't expected to hit him either. At first, he was about to apologize, but instead masked his face with indifference and wiped his blade clean of blood. "Expect the unexpected," Solon said with the same complete indifference to match his face.
Venice retrieved a sword and aimed a quick swipe at Sweeney's neck.
"That better teach -hic- ya." Lanbar said stumbling around for a bit before collapsing full force onto Steph.
Wow...this plan is working better than I planned. He felt that he was getting more courage from this and rose his sword and wwaited for Steph to get up.
"Don't even lay a finger on her." He growled at him, drawing his cutlass.
I wonder...... Mira looked for a place to get above Steph, but not too high, as it might mess up his aim. Once he found such a location, he snuck up to that location and fire his gun at Steph.
Harver clutched at his shoulder as blood flowed steadily out of it. "Urgh... yeah, I guess that's right."
((brb, dinner.))
The cut hit Sweeney, as he had taken the second to listen to Lord Kerow rather then watch Venice. He was able to jump away before it went too deep. It formed a thin line along his neck with a few trickles of blood dropping out. He growled, but then gave a smirk and nodded. He aimed a stab at Venice's waist, not a deep cut just as the last puncture.
---
Steph pushed Lanbar off him and stumbled back up, coughing. Damn it... Just a bit longer... He sent electricity at Tanbar's hand, hoping to make him drop his sword. But next second a gun shot hit him. Luckily it was during his electric charge so it did not pierce him, but the force of the hit left a bruise, and surprised him. "What the hell?" he gasped and swung around to face Mira.
---
Heronn laughed coldly at that response. "And who's going to stop me?" he asked, grabbing at Jas/Keisha to pull her toward him. "She has some things that belong to me anyway..."
---
Solon stood still for a moment, before disappearing into a hatchet in the boat. He came out a few minutes later with a first aid kit and some other bottles. "Here," he said gruffly, sliding the case and bottles across the floor to him.
"I am." Zarani howled at him, sprinting forward while swinging his cutlass and firing three more shots.
Harver only stood there, looking at the first aid kit. He then began to shake with anger. "What the hell are you playing at?! I just tried to kill you, bring an end to all this... and yet you give me this kit? Whose side are you on, then?!" He coughed up more blood, and collapsed to his knees. He was still concious, however.
Mira had the advantage of higher ground, as he fired two more shots at Steph.
The bolt hit Tanbar hand. "Owowowow!" He said dropping the sword and grabbing his hand only for a second. He then picked up the sword with his other hand and ran at Steph and gave a swing of the sword at his torso.
((siv needed some peanut butter crunch. 0.0))
Jas growls as her fangs and claws become longer. A barrage of lightning rushes at Heronn from behind. 'No! I can't... I can't control it!' She disappears in a swirl of flames, and reappears in the air.
"Oh god..." Zarani yelped, watching Jas/Keisha. "Oh god... Keisha... Don't be hurt..." He skidded to a halt near Heronn.
Venice stepped away from Sweeney, dodging the stab. "Wow. You're not as tough as you think," he observed.
Heronn disappeared for a second, reappearing after the lightning passed. "Looks demonic," Heronn said, watching Jas/Keisha. "That's not a good sign. She could lose herself and kill even those closest to her..." Suddenly he smiled. "Well, this works out great for me."
---
"Maybe not. But I know my place," Sweeney said before disappearing. In his place was Steph, who looked slightly shaken. Sweeney had switched with Steph because Steph had been in big trouble with the fight he was in.
---
"Not fair, not fair, not fair!" Steph yelped. Next second, he disappeared. After the bullets and after Tanbar's hit missed Sweeney came in Steph's place. Steph had switched out with Sweeney, knowing Sweeney was better at fights where it was him against the world. "Ah, the twins. It is my pleasure to duel with you. And a new face," Sweeney acknowledged Mira in turn. "I do love being introduced to the people I kill. Tanbar, introduce me."
---
Solon didn't reply, he watched Harver coughing up blood on the ground with the same poker face.
Harver bandaged up his wound as his eyes went up and he saw Jas/Keisha floating in the air. "What the...?"
"Just when I was winning too," mused Venice. "Oh, well. I don't quite recall, but I think you're Steph or something like that."
"Oh darn." Zarani said, looking back and forth between Heronn and Jas/Keisha.
'Damn! Jas, use that spell!' Keisha calls out in Jas' mind, unable to take form.
'Not now! There's too much I can't risk doing,' Jas fights to keep some of her sanity as she rebounds off a wall, and lunges at Heronn, growling, her claws surrounded in flames.
((Harver = oblivious? Did he even notice the changes on Jas? XD))
((He noticed the changes; he just didn't know what was going on inside.))
"It's pointless when you are dead." Mira fired two shots at Sweeny, put his gun away, pulled out his knives, and jumped from his high ground with his knives held like the fangs of a snake, trying to make sure he would land on Sweeny, stabbing whatever he can on impact.
"Um...I'm sorry, I'm not entirely sure who you are...I'm so forgetful about names." He said with a joking matter.
"Tanbar! Don't you -hic- remember. Thisss issss Ssssweeney Todd. Y'know, that demented -hic- barber from that one movie..." Lanbar said giving Sweeney a nice friendly, drunk smile. "Ah...good -hic- times."
----------------------------
Zaronn was still standing next to Kerow. "I need to ask this question, why don't we just gather them all up, including Jas with the two gems and bring her to Mage Riolo already?" He asked impatiently.
((wat)).
((Mira tried to attack Sweeny the post before Tanbar put his arm around Sweeny as if he were his friend)).
"It's taking me a while to prepare the portal," Kerow said. "Plus, they're all in different locations. If someone could get them all into the same area, it would be a whole lot easier. It's almost ready..."
((Oh, I guess I skimmed over your post. XP...and it was Lanbar, he was the drunk one...*goes to edit post slightly*))
Solon's eyes followed Harver's and he saw Jas/Keisha as well. "Damn!" he said, his eyes widening with horror. "She's turning into that demon thing!" Solon rushed off the ship and over to where Heronn, Zarani, and Jas/Keisha were. "We've gotta stop her from taking form!" Solon exclaimed. Heronn just laughed.
"I'd like to see you try to stop her," he snickered. When Jas came at him, he sent a powerful wind blast at her, though he didn't think it'd be strong enough to send her flying.
---
Sweeney took in the bullets, but as soon as Mira came close enough, he grabbed him and the two twins and teleported them to where the demon Jas was. Sweeney collapsed onto his knees, blood pouring from his chest after the teleportation.
---
Steph nodded and ran at Venice. He grabbed him and brought him to the same place Sweeney brought the others.
"We're all here," Sweeney gasped before collapsing to the ground, presumably dead.
((o rite :V Sorry)).
"Hey! Sweeny, who is this? Why did you bring us here?" Mira asked, completely oblivious to the fact that the demon was Jas. "Sweeny?! Eh, screw it." Mira took out his gun and fired his last bullet shot at Sweeny's head.
"Hey! Let go!" struggled Venice just before getting teleported. He looked around. "Where are we, exactly?"
"Well...they're all here." Zaronn said to Kerow. "Now their time has come."
Harver ran over with Solon, prepared for anything that what would happen next. Kerow saw them all in one place, and began to release his power.
Jas just roars, becoming more beastly by the moment. She brings her hands up, and a massive fireball begins to form above her. She slams downwards, and it goes flying at Heronn.
((*Smacks LS upside the head* In the middle of a fight here...))
((*gets smacked upside the head* Sorry 'bout that...))
((Now for BoA to post. >.>))
"Keisha!" Zarani yelled at her. "Hang in there!" He looked away. "Bloody pirates..." He grumbled.
(( Never fear! Boa's h- *falls down hole* ))
Heronn used the wind to jump high over the fireball, and he landed right on Jas' back. "Let's go for a ride! Shall we?" he called out, pretending to be riding a horse or bull.
"Kerow! We must end this now! Take them to Mage Riolo now!" He said to Kerow growing extremely impatient.
"As cool as it was to kill Sweeny, can I go kill that other guy on top of Demon Jas/other person?" Mira asked one of the crew members nearby.
"Heronn... Time for this to end." Zarani leaped up behind him and swiped at him with the cutlass.
"Zarani, move!" Jas manages to yell. The ground shakes, and more flames erupt from it, directly under Jas and Heronn in a massive explosion.
"The Destroyer is almost unleashed..." muttered Venice.
Harver looked over at Venice. "Hey... what's going on with Jas?!"
Zarani untied the silk from his waist and tied it around the cutlass hilt. He flung the cutlass so it stabbed into the side of a building, not budging, and swung off the back, using the silk as a rope to hang onto. "And that was without a drop of rum, mates." He said, looking down on everyone.
"I think it has something to do with the spell. At this point, I think she's going to die."
((Yay! Rank-up!))
"No." Zarani called down to Mira. "Just the rest of us." The sword came out of the wall and Zarani fell down and landed on his feet with instability, catching the cutlass as it fell in front of him.
There was a scream from Heronn. But next second, he had disappeared.
"She'll be fine! We'll all be fine!" Solon snapped at Mira and Zarani. Where the hell did Heronn go? This needs to end... Before someone really gets hurt...
((Can I send you all into the chamber now?))
(( Here, I'll do it-- ))
Just after the eruption, they were all transported under the Whirl Channel and into Mage Riolo's lair. Even Sweeney was teleported, though he just laid in the middle of the floor in a bloody heap. The only shape missing was Heronn.
"What the hell just happened!?" Solon yelled, getting up from the ground. The lair was just a circular cave. At one end was a triangular pool of water. A crack from the wall had water from the Whirl Channel trickling inside. Other then that, it was oddly empty.
Venice looked at Harver. "Jas found a spell book and began reading it. However, a woman name Keisha was sealed inside, and as Jas read, she took on many of Keisha's characteristics. We found out that if she doesn't master the book, she would unleash a destructive force on the world."
Zaronn just smiled that they had finally been taken to the caver. "And so this is the beginning of the end." He said to himself with an evil smile.
"Well, this is surprising." Zarani said, looking around. "I wanted to kill Heronn..." He looked over at Zaronn. "I thought that was ten minutes ago, mate."
"Hahaha!!" Kerow laughed maniacally. "Master and Mage Riolo!! We have brought you the nuisances, and we have all five gems in the same exact place!" I've got to be careful of both Zaronn and Harver. I still don't trust them completely yet...
"What?!" Harver looked at Venice like he was crazy. He then looked up back at Jas. She looks like she's in so much pain...
"So what do we do now?"
"It's true. Everyone else knows. You weren't there to help her," said Venice sadly.
Zaronn looked at Kerow looking at him and still kept the evil smile on his face. It's too late to stop what will happen now.
Harver continued to look up at Jas, barely hearing Venice speak. Could this... also be my fault?
Zarani took a step forward and stubbed his toe on something heavy. "Ooh..." He looked down and picked up a large jar. "I've got a jar of dirt." He said mockingly to Zaronn and Kerow.
"Bind our hostages, then present me with the gems," Mage Riolo's voice resounded across the lair, he sounded pleased. "Dead Men, get in a line in front of the pool."
---
Steph dragged Sweeney's dead body over and stood by the edge of the pool.
---
Heronn's not here, Solon realized. Did he actually die before? Solon noticed a pile of ashes on the ground nearby. Perhaps he's been... cremated...
((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRcj6CAhe7s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRcj6CAhe7s)))
"I think you've gotten a little strange...er." Tanbar said over to Zarani.
Zaronn obeyed Riolo and got in front of the pool.
((Bwahahahha! *End eval moment*))
Jas' claws grip the ground. Her blood-red eyes gleam through the darkness.
'Jas, this has to stop! Keisha starts trying to take over. 'You don't want to lose those you care for! Especially not like this... I should know. You gotta cast Oblivion!' Jas begins to glow, but other than that, the demonic side still has control.
((Yay for the Jar of Dirt! =D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRcj6CAhe7s "The Captain seems to actin' a bit strange." I think Hobo stole my idea! =O))
Mira had his knives out, prepared to cut any ropes that might be used.
((Maybe Heronn's in the Jar of Dirt... maybe Heronn IS the Jar of Dirt! =O))
Kerow began looping the darkness throughout the cavern around Solon and the others. Harver got in front of the pool as instructed. Maybe there's nothing left for me after all...
Zarani looked back and forth shiftily and stood by the pool, hoping the actual Dead Men wouldn't notice.
(( Nah, Heronn's been cremated. He's muy dead-o. ))
"My last 3 surviving Dead Men. Not the ones I would have chosen, but you'll have to do," the voice sounded. "Now, present me with the gems. I must see your triumph with my own eyes before I can truly believe it." There was a silence before Mage Riolo respoke. "Zarani, get the hell out of my pool. You aren't a Dead Man anymore."
Mira took out his blow dart and blow gun and fired the dart at Steph.
Harver took out his Time Gem, and stared at it for awhile. Dammit... what should I do? Jas... I need an answer!!
"You didn't say they had to be current ones, mate." Zarani said, stepping away. He spun on the spot and drew his cutlass, swiping at Zaronn.
((Cue Pirates music.
Zaronn pulled out the Cloud gem and clutched it tightly in his hand as he turned around and saw that Jas had two of the other gems. Good...it's all here and for easy pickins too. He then used the power of the Cloud gem and went behind Zarani with blinding speed and had his sword already next to Zarani's neck. "I wouldn't turn on me now if I were you."
"I would!" He said, bashing his head back and spinning around, parrying Zaronn's sword.
"Gah!" Zaronn stumbled back holding his head from the hit but quickly recomposing himself. That was foolish of me. No more playing around now. With that, he ran at Jas with the speed that the Cloud Gem provides him and manages to swipe the two gems away from Jas and quickly runs away back to the pool.
Harver noticed what had happened. Not if I have anything to say about it. Time! Harver ran over to Zaronn, and took the two gems from him. He then pocketed them and went back exactly to where he was before. Time!
Zarani went at Zaronn, attacking once again with his sword.
No, we've just lost all our gems! Solon thought angrily. He drew his sword and ran at Zaronn.
Zaronn quickly blocked the attack with ease due to his speed. "Oh please..." Someone...took the gems...Harver! dang him! He pushed Zarani's sword away and ran up to Harver's face using his speed to slip past Solon and Mira's attacks. "What do you think you're doing!? This is my plan!" He said angrilly as he grabbed Harver by the collar and lifted him upwards and took out his sword. "This time when I fight you, I won't miss!"
"You really think so?" Harver asked, snapping his fingers. Instantaneously, flames shot out of them and towards Zaronn.
Harver has the gems now? God darn it, who do I help!? Solon ran forward and sliced at Zaronn's back with his sword.
Zarani watched the two for a moment, and silently crept behind Harver. "Alright..." He whispered to himself. "The gems..."
Zaronn dropped Harver and dodged the flames by quickly moving to the side and them putting his sword behind his back to block Solon's attack.
Mira ran to Harver so he could be in range to use his grappling hook to pull him from his current location to Mira's.
Harver ran forward (and coincidentally, away from Zarani) and snapped again, firing more flames at Zaronn.
Zaronn started running backwards and dodging the flames by stepping far enough over to one side to avoid them. "Face it, we're equally matched with these gems. Let us settle this with an old fashion duel. No gems at all."
Harver's flames turned the corner and continued to follow Zaronn. "You think I can trust you?"
Damn! I missed! Mira pulled back and hoped the grappling hook would bore itself into Zaronn.
"You're right. I suppose we'll just have to fight it out now." Zaronn continued to stay away from the flames but he went in for a hit at Harver. He swung his sword with an intense speed at Harver's neck.
The sword hit Harver's neck at a breakneck speed. But it just stayed there. "Aren't you forgetting something?" He asked, smiling. He then took his sword and thrusted it at Zaronn.
DAMMIT! Mira pulled his grappling hook back and threw it at the ceiling, as to get him up there. Once there, he used his knives to make his way above the fighters and dropped some explosives on Zaronn.
Jas simply growls and raises her twin blades, unable to hold back any more. A dangerous aura comes from them. "Death awaits," she whispers, her voice is no longer the same; it's pure evil...
'The last spell... I have to before...'
She twirls the swords, and an ominous dark glowing circles over everyone.
"Dammit!" He said jumping back away from the stab. He's got the Scale gem now... He then did some backflips away from the bombs being dropped just for show. "If you get two of those gems then it's only fair that I get the other one." He said looking at the Crescent gem that was placed presumably by the thrid Dead Man. "But to do that..." He said looking over at Harver and running up to his face. "I'll need to kill you." Zaronn lifted his sword and swung at Harver but stopped when the glowing circles appeared.
Harver looked up at the shadow-ish glow. Jas...
Mira dropped from the ceiling and tried the same technique from before on Zaronn, using his grappling hook to ensure that he has extra chances to attack him.
((brb walking dog))
((Which reminds me, whatever happened to Kai, Trin, Amy, and Hanzo??))
((...No one cares about Hanzo. But yeah, whattabout the other three?))
((I just don't think that they caught on...))
Zaronn blocked the attack from the hook and stared at Jas. What is that girl doing? He started to build up some sort of energy inside just in case of something really bad happening and got ready to use it in an instant.
"Feel my pain!" Jas swings sideways and the ground turns the same eerie color as the circles. Chains slam into the ground from above, and begin pulling something up from the ground; a destructive beast that resembles the skeleton of a bull. It drags Jas inside of it and roars after breaking the chains bounding its glowing claws. Not even a second goes by before it starts rapidly punching energy blasts at the remaining Dead Men. Then it roars ferociously as it's claws glow purple. More energy surrounds the enemies and gathers for a short period before it combusts.
((I tried to explain it right... I just changed it a bit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyBwCLG3Cyk))
((O_O I pity that enemy. Jeeze. Overkill much?))
"Wow," commented Venice. "Overkill, Jas?"
((XD))
"Jas!!" Harver ran up to the beast, dodging the blasts it was sending.
"Harver!" called Venice. "You're gonna get yourself killed!"
((Wait, can anybody dodge the last attack from that attack since it surrounds the enemy...A.k.a. the Dead Men, a.k.a. Harver?))
Zaronn summonned a portal around him to protect him from most the attacks but the last one got him as the portal fadded away. The last attack left him with burns all over his body and his clothes badly burnt with the sleves and one pant leg completely burnt away. "Ugh!" He coughed up some blood. "Don't think you're done with me yet!"
Harver, listen to Venice! The man speaks sense!! Harver continued to run towards the beast.
All this time, I've been worrying about myself, about what would happen to me after all this was over. But... it was really Jas who was in the most pain. I can't let the evil inside her take another step further!!
((Err... IDK, my BFF Jill? By the way, I've got to go. See you all tomorrow.))
"Just give up!" said Venice, glancing at Zaronn and rolling his eyes. He drew the sword he'd acquired previously and stabbed at Zaronn.
Zaronn jumped to the side and drew his second sword and started swinging at Venice with both blades with extreme speeds.
Venice merely took several steps back to avoid the blades. However, he still received several cuts, but none were too serious/life-threatening. He then drew his knife and threw it at Zaronn, the blade glittering in the eerie light from Jas/Demon/Thing's attack.
((You know you're still going to take some hits from that if you just step back normally...>_>; ))
Zaronn leaned back to avoid the blade knowing that if he just got one cut then it would very well be over for him.
As Zaronn leaned back to dodge, Venice slashed with the sword, aiming to slit his throat.
((Edited previous post slightly))
((Part of the reason the video makes me rofllez. It's all like 'ARF!' when it hits the ground. XD
@Hobo: And you know you'd be more than burned after taking a hit from Oblivion. XD j/k))
Once the summoned beast finishes its attack, it fades back into the ground. Jas is left on the surface injured, with all sorts of cuts, gashes and bruises. It's all damage from her attack, but she is no longer the rampaging demon... no, that demon's attack would've been much worse.
Keisha materializes behind the others, watching with worry in her eyes. "Jas..."
Jas rolls onto her stomach, coughing, and begins pushing herself up with her weapons.
((Yes, the attack hurts, but it wouldn't insta-kill them like it did to that dingo... *Snicker**Busts out laughing*))
Mira swung into the pool with his grappling hook. Ok, what now? Wait..... Jas! Mira got out of the pool and ran up the Jas and examined her vitals.
((Poor, poor Dingo. Wait. What do I care! *laughs evilly whilst watching the video over and over and over.* >:D XD))
((It's so fun to watch it say overkill after the attack is done. XD...*is still waiting for Harver to be hit by the attack* >_>; ))
((Then there's the happy victory music at the end. XD Oh and LS said he had to go. Don't you guys read the posts? XP))
((Still. The attack pwns. Dingo never had a chance. OVERKILL! *happy victory dance* All DMDTS Participants: w00t!
((I like that. It'd be better if they talked.

((Hey, I'll get to dodging that tomorrow. I'm going to bed now guys. Bye! :D))
((Night, Hobo. :P))
((And Jas is still trying to get up to fight. Damn... we have to leave it as this for now... Night everyone leaving!))
((Night everyone who is going night-night)).
"Keisha!" Zarani exclaimed happily. "You're not dead!"
((Going now, night.))
"No, I'm not dead," Keisha says smiling. 'Meaning the Jas mastered all the spells,' "I'm here to stay."
Mira stopped his checks for a moment. "How could she do that in about.... A day?"
"How she did it..." Keisha sighs. "Jas knew all the spells and how to execute, them for a long time. For the past day... All that time in her room, the only thing she's been doing is trying to prepare herself to use them. She had to really push it, but she's done it..."

"Huh..... So then what is magic, really?" Mira asked, seeing how he hasn't heard much about magic. If he did, it was mostly about energy and such.
"That," Keisha pauses. "I can't figure out how to explain."
((g2g))
((k bye)).
"Hmmmm....." Mira took a book, an empty bottle, some herbs, and a metal surface and made a potion, in case Jas or anyone else (if not Jas) needed it.

"Hmmmm....." Mira took a book, an empty bottle, some herbs, and a metal surface and made a potion, in case Jas or anyone else (if not Jas) needed it.
((That is physically impossible considering we're still in the Dead Men's lair or summat...))
Harver had quite a few burn marks over his body, and the bandage over his shoulder was almost completely burned away. When he saw Jas, he felt relieved, and then shocked by the amount of wounds on her body. "Jas!" He said, running up to her. "Are you okay?"
Steph had ran forward to force the impact on him, wanting to end his life. After the torture he had been through, and losing all his mates, he didn't want to go on. Now he laid in the middle of the pool, dead. The pool was now just a big blotch of red, unpurified and murky.
Solon examined the situation. Zaronn, Kerow, Harver, and Mage Riolo were the only Dead Men left. Everyone on their side seemed to be okay, except for Jas. Solon made his way toward her, but then turned, remembering something. The only gem not taken... The Crescent Gem. Solon pocketed it, unnoticed, using his theiving skills. Then he ran over to Jas. I don't think she'll be okay here... he thought.
"Harver, if you want to help her, you need to get her out of here," Solon said quietly, knowing he could teleport. "I can make a distraction for you." Solon patted his pocket, where the Crescent Gem lay. Even if he is a bad guy, he'll be on the good side when Jas is in the equasion.
"These bruises are bad," Harver replied to Solon. "I'll have to perform emergency first aid. You still have that first aid kit on the ship?"
Kerow examined the situation as well. "Mage Riolo... what should we do?! We are far outnumbered now..."
Jas slides a bit as she starts to get up, but gets on her feet anyways. "I'll be fine," she says, lifting her twin blades to get into a fighting stance. "And I ain't leavin'," she says.
"Now's not the time to act so foolishly," Harver said to Jas. "I don't want you to die."
"The first aid kit's still where you left it," Solon replied. "Take her forcefully if you have to, Harver. Now's not the time to bargain with one's life."
---
"We fight. If any of our men die, they weren't strong enough," Mage Riolo's voice answered. "Kill Zaronn and Zarani first. Traitors do not last long in my lair."
"I'm not going to die," Jas says through gritted teeth.
"Jas, stop being so stubborn!" Keisha shakes her head.
"I'm not running away!" Jas slashes the air with one of her blades.
"You wouldn't be running," Keisha holds her hand out , and a long object takes form in front of her. It's her blade, a long katana. "You'd be doing what you have to do."
"You're not running away!" said Venice. "You're staying alive!"
"As you wish, my lord," Kerow said with a slight bow. Two against one, eh? It still seems to be in my favor. Kerow began to whirl the shadows that existed in the chamber into a ball in his fist. He then threw it at a breakneck speed towards Zaronn.
"It seems I have no choice then," Harver said, lifting his hands up in the air. Right where he left it... Instantly, the kit appeared in his hands. "Perfect." Errh... that's about the last of my power.
If the need arises, I'll lend you some of my power. Harver walked over to Jas. "Now lie down. Don't worry, it'll only take a few minutes. After that, you can fight all you want."
We need more time... Solon thought to himself. Time to finally use the Crescent Gem! Solon fingered the crescent shaped gem in his hands for a moment, and within seconds the lair became pitch-black. Solon stumbled towards Harver and Jas and allowed the Crescent Gem to glow around them, so Harver could see what he was doing. He stayed standing in front of them and took out his sword, prepared to beat down anyone who went for them.
"I've got you guys covered, just get the healing process on with," Solon said, keeping his gem safely in his pocket.
Hey! Everything's dark. Solon musta used the Crescent Gem. thought Venice. He stumbled over to the small lighted area by Jas and Harver.
"Alright Jas, I'm going to suture some of the larger cuts you have, and I'll apply disinfectant to the cuts as well as the burn marks," Harver said, opening the kit. "Hopefully that will be enough for the moment. After this is all over we'll have to get you to a hospital so we can have a larger look at the wounds."
"What makes you think I'm gonna lie down in the middle of a battle, or have the time to cover any wounds?" Jas then sighs a moment later, noticing that she can't feel her right wrist, and she probably sprained it and an ankle. "Fine..."
"Let's begin," Harver said, grabbing a cotton ball and dabbing it in a disinfectant with forceps. "This might sting a little," he said as he began lightly touching the burn marks and cuts with the cotton ball.
Jas tenses a bit, but doesn't say anything as the disinfectant leaves a burning, stinging sensation. Keisha stands by, a hand on the hilt of her katana, ready to defend them.
((bbl in some hours. I got a soccer game))
After he was done with disinfecting the wounds, he took a small suture and began to stitch up some of the larger cuts. Strange... the wounds seemed a lot larger when I first looked at them... she must be a fast healer. In a few minutes, he was done. He sighed, and put some of the materials back into the kit. He took one item, however, and pocketed it without anyone noticing.
"It's a success," Harver said, standing up. "You can move again whenever you feel like it. Just don't strain yourself too badly."

"Hmmmm....." Mira took a book, an empty bottle, some herbs, and a metal surface and made a potion, in case Jas or anyone else (if not Jas) needed it.
((That is physically impossible considering we're still in the Dead Men's lair or summat...))
((Lies and slander. I have my own surface)).
"So then we won't need the potion I made?"
When they finished, the Crescent Gem took the light by Harver and Jas, making it complete darkness again. Solon could see perfectly by using the Crescent Gem's powers. I'll leave Harver alone for now, but Zaronn has one of the gems, Solon reminded himself. He snuck up behind Zaronn, and tried pickpocketing the Cloud Gem.
In the mean time, "is Harver some type of Black Jack or something? Oh wait...."
Zarani blinked. "Oh bugger." He said turning to leave forgetting they were sealed off and running into a wall. He turned back towards the room. "I can't do parlay, can I... I wonder..." He looked at his jar of dirt and then to the others, paying more attention to the gems. "Hey magey! Guess what!" He held up the jar. "I've got a jar of diiiirrrt. I've got a jar of diiiirrrt. And guess what's inside it!" He mocked him.
"Davy Jone's heart?" Mira asked randomly.
"...No." Zarani said, slightly confused.
Zaronn jumped out of the way of Kerow's attack before everything went pitch black. Gah!...I had everything going perfectly...until Harver...Damn him! He thought this as he grabbed the Cloud Gem in his hand and clutched it as hard as he could in a fist.
Kerow continued to shoot spheres of darkness, and he shot some at Zarani as well. Unfortunately, one of the shots shattered the jar of dirt.
((YOU BROKE THE JAR OF DIRT! :O))
Mira hummed the last part of the Jar of Dirt Remix when the jar broke.
Zarani looked down at the dirt everywhere. "Dammit, I was going to say there was a gem in there." He said, following with a short string of swears.
((The jar of dirt... X.x))
Jas finds another small container while she's down, and fills it with dirt. She throws it in the direction she can hear Zarani. "Hope it at least makes you feel better." Jas gets up and draws her blades again.
Zarani caught the container and frowned. "It's not a big jar..." He threw it straight at Zaronn's head, shooting it an inch away from his face so shards of glass went flying everywhere at his face.
"It's still a jar darnit!" Jas sighs, not seeing what Zarani did with the jar, only hearing the gunshot. "Remind me not to help you anymore..."
"Well I guess everyone is ok then." Mira said, standing up and putting his things away.
Solon slashed at Zaronn's fist, determind to take the Cloud Gem from him while he was blinded by the glass shards.
Kerow drew his own sword - a large blade - and rushed towards Zaronn, doing a diagonal swipe upwards.
Jas and Kei stand back to back with nothing stopping them from fighting now.
"Are we still fighting?" Mira asked, with his hands on the handle of his blades.
A fireball shot out at Mira, seemingly out of nowhere.
"Unless you'd rather just lay down and die," came the voice of Mage Riolo, although he was nowhere to be found.
Mira blocked the fireball with his knives.
"What do you think?" Jas asks. She gets into a fighting stance after seeing the fireball.
"Mira thinks?" asked Venice.
"I think whenever I must." Mira said, reverse-tracing the path of the fireball ((one couldn't normally trace the fireball, for the fireball traveled one way only. Mira was at the end of it's path)).
"I think I'll be getting some enjoyment out of killing you," boomed Mage Riolo with a snicker. He sent four more fireballs out. One at Jas, another at Keisha, a third at Mira, and the final one at Venice.
Venice stepped out of the way.
Mira blocked it again and continued to retrace the fireball's path.
The fireball swerved around and came at Venice from behind. In doing that, all the other fireballs, save the one Mira blocked, in turn swerved in the same direction the other one did. They missed their own targets and headed for Venice.
Another smaller fireball appeared behind Mira, heading at him quickly.
Hm? Mira made himself trip, which allowed him to roll on the ground. He twirled back up and tried to slice the fireball.
Jas smirks and slashes at the fireball meant for her. A jet of water swirls forth and collides with it.
Keisha swings, and lets the fireball aimed at her first hit the blade of her katana. The fireball spreads across the blade as Keisha spins, then slashes. Blue flames rush in the direction she was attacked from.
Zaronn was hit by the shards of glass putting small cuts on his face. "Gah!" He brought his hands up away from Solon's sword and up to his face as he backed up. "No...No!" He then ran at Solon and started swinging at him with duel blades.
When the fireballs are made contact with, they explode. . "Hm... You pass the first test. Now it gets harder!" Mage Riolo exclaimed. Next, clouds form over the lair and lightning begins crackling throughout the lair, intended on hitting them
Solon used the Crescent Gem to send a blinding flash of light at Zaronn and then stabbed at his chest.
A lightning bolt crashed down only a few inches from Venice. "Geez. This guys insane!"
"Annoying as hell," Jas jumps out the way, and strikes at the lightning directed at with her own lightning spells.
Keisha dodges the bolts for the most part, and blocks with her katana occasionally.
Zaronn reeled back from the flash and then he felt the blade go through his chest. "Urk...No..." He openned his hand and dropped the Cloud Gem. He then started to glow a deep purple glow. "Heh...heh...heh. So it's come to this. I never thought I'd need to use this. So far I haven't shown any of you what I have chosen to use as my Dead Man power. This...This is my final tactic..." The darkness became more powerful and it seemed to take over his body. "With this attack...I pass on my evil intentions to whoever I stab...Solon!" He then created a blade using the darkness and rushed at Solon with it.
"Uh. This doesn't look good," said Venice, dodging another bolt while watching Zaronn charge.
((Zaronn charges Solon, gets shocked by Riolo's bolts, and dies.))
Mira put his mask on his head, allowing his head to be resistant to thunder, seeing as these masks tend to be ceramic, which is used in resistors.
"Lightning bolts are easy, for they don't strike the same place twice," Mage Riolo reasoned. "Lets see how you fair against something much harder..." A manical laugh escaped his lips as the wall by the pool of water began to rumble. The water that had trickled rythmically from the crack was now spitting out water as if there were no end. Then, with Mage Riolo's power, he pulled the water up high, creating a gigantic tide, and sent it rushing at them all.
---
Solon jumped back from the sword, but the rushing tide sent him flying into it. "Gah!" he cried out as he felt the darkness overcome him. "No..." He dropped his own sword, but he clung on tight to both the Crescent Gem and Cloud Gem, being pushed helplessly through the current.
Mira attempted to put his mask on and make it airtight.
Venice briefly went under, but managed to get back to air.
((We're still in the cavern place, right? Cause, if we are, then it's a giant bowl. And bowls fill. Unless there's an area where liquid can get out. But still, they're all dead.))
((Once Mage Riolo accumulated enough water, he stopped the water from coming out. I'd say the lair is about 20 ft high, and the water will go to about 10 ft high when all spaced out. So, you'll just be swimming in the lair xD. But yes, there is a little crack where water can come in and out from. ))
Zaronn was washed along with Solon. "Yes...yes!" He shouted and laugh maniacly as he surged more of his evil into Solon's body before finally sending the last wave of energy which would let Zaronn take over Solon's body when he wanted to before his own died.
----------------------------------
"Solon! No!" Tanbar swam across the water trying to get to him as Zaronn's body became lifeless and went along with this new current.
Lanbar was just then getting sober again. "What the-? Where's all this water coming from?" He said looking around observing the situation at hand.
"Damn!" Jas sees Solon get hit before being pulled into the tide. 'There's no way this bastard's gonna kill me!' She begins swirling her twin blades, focusing on her water spells. Eventually, a twister begins to form around Jas, and bring her out of the water. She starts searching for Keisha and the others.
((Um... Person... Doesn't airtight mean vacuum, in other words, no air?))
"Great. Solon's going all evil and we're all gonna drown. What else could go wrong?" he muttered to himself, swimming towards Jas and her twister thing.
((Yeah, but Mira didn't think that one through)).
Mira twirled his knives like a (modern) boat's propeller, as to get to the water's surface. Then he adjusted his mask, since the air-tight space was annoying him, using his tail to keep him afloat.
Keisha appears above everyone else in a swirl of flames. She floats there, quickly sorting through her options.
Jas pulls Venice into the twister with her as she comes above the surface. She starts trying to use the water to keep them afloat.
The tidal wave crashed against the opposite wall, then evened out. At an immensely slow speed, it was beginning to drain through the crack it came from. Mage Riolo hadn't estimated the height of the wave correctly, and he had been hit. He was invisible, but after getting hit by the wave lost his invisiblity. He swam away from the others, trying to find his still invisible magic staff.

Solon's eyes glowered red for a moment, before he blinked and shook his head clear. He was a good swimmer, so he swam down into the water and searched for his sword. The wound where the dark sword had hit him disappeared, all was left was a glowering black spot near his heart.
Mira took out his grappling hook at threw it at a secure spot on the ceiling, then climbed up. From that point, he threw a throwing star at Riolo.
"Interesting," commented Venice. "And you learned all this from one book?"
Lanbar started frantically swimming toward Jas as he was still confused about what was happening while Tanbar was still swimming toward Solon. "Solon! Are you okay?"
------------------
Now that I can control of Solon, I now control the Crescent gem too. Now it'll only be a matter of time before I will have all the gems.
"I'm... Fine," Solon replied, a deeper tone to his voice. He smiled and gave a dark chuckle. "Never been better, actually..." He looked at his hands, as if this body was new to him.
---
The throwing star hit Mage Riolo's hand. "Argh!" Through his rage, the lair shook rapidly, but then resettled. "You kill me, and this whole place will collapse! Then you will die by the Whirl Channel above us!" He began laughing manically again.
"Yeah, I did," Jas says, answering Venice. She narrows her eyes at Riolo. "I think we'll kill you anyways," then slashes. Lightning bolts start smashing down at him.
"Jas! Jas! A little help down here!" Lanbar said waving to Jas who was still in the whirlwind. Darn me for not being that good of a swimmer.
"Ah...okay then." Tanbar said. There's something terrebly wrong with him... He then began to swim away for he had some feeling in his gut that he shouldn't be close to Solon right now.
Jas has the twister pull Lanbar up to where she is. "You okay?"
"Yeah...except I sort of...you know...don't know what the HELL is going on!" Lanbar said.
"Something seems to be wrong with Solon," muttered Venice. "And we're being attacked by the Dead Men's Mage guy. Duh."
"We're in the Dead Men's place," Jas says. "All of 'em are dead, except now we're fighting the big poop, and I don't know what's going on with Solon."
((Anyone who's in the water will get hit by the lightning bolts xD))
Solon shook his head again, and the black spot stopped glowing on his chest. He cleared his throat, and his voice was normal again as he spoke. "Whoa... That felt... Really weird." He was shaking slightly and looked at the gems, thinking about what just happened. I know how much I want these gems, but... I don't feel right holding them. Though, I can't give up the Crescent Gem with the curse on it, so...
"Jas!" Solon called out and threw the Cloud Gem at her, pretty much making her official Gem holder, though he was starting to think Venice would be better at the job. "Just don't lose that one like you did the others!" Solon began swimming around to find his sword.
---
Mage Riolo disappeared, and reappeared in the water again after the attacks took place. Luckily, he found his staff. With it, he flew back into the air.
"So...only that leader guy is alive...does that mean Zaronn is dead too?" Lanbar said looking over at Solon. I'll be glad to be rid of Zaronn. We've been enemies for a long time...along with Zaroff but I don't think he's a threat to us anymore. Tanbar was still swimming around in the water while trying to take out his sword.
((How high is the water now?))
Mira wrapped the rope around him, so he would stay on the ceiling. He then put his hands together to calm himself down, as well as prepare some energy.
(( The water's about 8 feet, and slowly descending ))
Solon grabbed his sword and came back up. "Lord Kerow's still alive, and Harver, I thought," Solon called up to them. "By the way, any chance I can get a ride on that twister thing?"
((Yeah, I kinda didn't know he was in the water...))
"I won't," Jas catches the gem, making sure she won't lose that or her mind. She pulls Solon into the twister, and starts making it spin fast.
((Dun diss Jas for losin' the gems. She didn't even get a chance to fight back. They were just taken like 'BOOM! Mine's now!'))
((Wait, who's controlling Mage Riolo and who's controlling Lord Kerow? I've seen BoA and LS do it. Which one's which?))
(( XD Yeah, I know. Now that the Cloud Gem's out of the way, the only Gem that could do take them easily is the Time Gem, anyway. But I still like dissing Jas, tis fun.
I control Mage Riolo, LS controls Lord Kerow.))
Solon dried off quickly thanks to the spinning twister. "Thanks," he thanked and looked around for Mage Riolo.
---
The Mage shot another twister at their own, hoping to pull them into his so he could control where they went.
Tanbar saw what Mage Riolo was doing and grabbed one of the larger glass shards from Zarani's glass jar and threw it at Mage Riolo hoping to distract him.
((*Gasp* Meanie. *Jas comes out of RP and beats the poop outta BoA then goes back into RP* Note to self, have Jas beat the poop outta Solon.))
"Shit!" Jas quickly drops the twister she formed, and forms a wave under the others to use as a surf board.
Keisha lets her demonic flames swirl around her katana. "Reflection's Rage!" She strikes upwards, and a flaming twister speeds towards the other.
"Harver, can you make a portal? I'm gonna kill this guy, then we can escape through the portal."
Zarani threw a small glass shard at Mira. "I can make a bloody portal too, mate. And you, with your strength, have no hope of defeating Riolo." He turned towards Mage Riolo and sprinted at him, firing at him with his gun, then slashing at him with both the cutlass and the knuckle-duster.
"He's too strong," Harver said to Mira. "And besides... why would I help all you?" He teleported to Lord Kerow's side. "I am one of the Dead Men, after all." He smirked maliciously, along with Lord Kerow.
"Are you really, Harver?" said Venice. "Didn't you join the Dead Men for her?"
At the "her" part, he indicated Jas.
"Oh bugga." Zarani said, watching Harver.
"If I did," Harver said, examining the situation, and Kerow smiling beside him, "which I'm not saying I did - but if that were the case, why would I help all of you, then? If it was all just for her, why would I bother saving you guys?"
"Because if we die, Jas is heartbroken?" said Venice, though he knew that probably wasn't true.
"Because... You owe us money?" He asked hopefully.
Venice stared at Zarani with an expression somewhat like this: :|
"Because Kerow broke the pirate's jar of dirt."
"Oh really...?" Harver said with an intense glare at the two.
"Excellent, Harver!" Kerow said, grinning. "You seem to strike fear into their very hearts. Getting their hopes up fo-!!"
Harver turned around and stabbed Kerow right in the center of his chest. He smiled back at the others. "Nah, I'm just messing with you guys." Harver withdrew his blade, and Kerow slid to the floor, unmoving.
Tanbar let out a sigh of releif as Harver killed Kerow. "Man...I was worried for a moment there."
Venice nudged the body with his foot, seeing if it was really dead.
Harver sighed, wiping off the blood on his sword. "Seriously, you guys overthink the situation sometimes." Kerow remained unmoving on the floor, his blood slowly spreading from the wound.
((That made me lolz for some reason. XD))
Jas watched and listened to what was being said, but hadn't said anything herself through the whole thing.
"He's not that strong. I hit his hand before." Mira said to Zarani, as he threw another throwing star at Riolo. "Either way, be prepared to make a portal, ok?" Mira said, with his knives in hand.
"We have to finish this..." Harver said, raising his blade again. "We can't let any of the Dead Men get away. That includes Mage Riolo. Either we die, or he does."
"What happened to the other gems?" asked Venice.
Solon smirked, the blackness in his chest re-appearing. "Yes... Let blood spread..." he whispered, giving a nasty laugh and smirk. The water was only 5 feet high now, so Solon jumped down into it, he could stand. "Who wants to be first?" he asked, drawing his blade.
---
Mage Riolo sent the shot flying back at Mira, then sent an electric bolt at the water the group was standing on, hoping to electrify them all.
Harver snapped his fingers, and a stream of fire came seemingly out of nowhere and attempted to cancel out or disinegrate the electric bolt Riolo sent. He then turned to Solon. "What are you...?"
"Does this Mage guy have the ability to possess people?" asked Venice.
"Weren't you paying attention to what that Zaronn guy did?" Keisha asks, noticing the darkness on Solon. 'Damn, don't tell me we have to kill him...'
Jas is still floating there (since she's only 5ft 2in), eying Solon. "What type of bullpoop...? Yeah, ironic, you've become the thing you've wanted to destroy..."
"Well. This could be a problem. We might have to kill him," said Venice.
If worst comes to worst, then I'll do it...
But...
***FlashBack!!!***
Harver sat on the floor of his room, with a 19x19 board in front of him. He picked up a black stone, and placed it somewhere on the board. Emit then indicated where he wanted his stone to be placed, and Harver did it for him. They were playing a fairly old game called Go. It was during this time that Harver became curious. "Emit..."
Yes, Harver?
"I was wondering... when I die... what will happen to you? More importantly, can you die? I mean, being a spirit and all..."
Even I do not know that question. But I do know this; once I use up all the power I have remaining, I shall leave this world forever.
"I see..."
But we shall meet again, someday...
***End Flashback!!!***
...I don't want you to leave yet.
Everyone has their time. It's only natural that my time comes before yours.
"Not only are you depressing, Venice," Jas sighs. "You also have to state the obvious..."
((So Venice is depressing and has to state the obvious; Jas is oblivious; Solon is an idiot who falls into random pits; Lanbar and Tanbar get drunk/hyperactive too much; and Harver is.... corny?))
"Hey, someone has to do it," said Venice.
Besides, I'd rather be like that over being oblivious to everything.
((Face it; we're a bunch of losers.))
Harver sheathed his sword. Are you sure?
I'm positive. I can do this, and then I can finally rest in peace...
What's that supossed to mean?
Well let's face it; this place isn't the most quietest of areas, and I always have to follow you wherever you go...
Whatever.
((Jas isn't oblivious! >.<))
"What good is the obvious gonna do if we already know it?" Jas says snickering.
Keisha floats above them in her flames, rolling her eyes at the conversation.
((Yes. She is. If you don't realize it, then you are too.))
"Well, I'm just pointing it out for the more oblivious among us," Venice replied.
((We're not oblivious! *Kicks T_L*))
Jas glares at Venice, then sends a small flame at him before having Keisha pull her out the water.
((You're referring to an RP character in the first-person. *gets kicked* Bleh.))
Venice tried to move away from the flame, but tripped and plunged into the water.
"Bleh," he said upon reaching the surface again.
((So?))
Jas starts to send a spark of electricity at Venice, but doesn't and goes back to observing the situation at hand.
"You have some gems that belong to me, Harver," Solon hissed, slashing at him with his sword. "Give them up to me or face death!"
---
Mage Riolo swerved the lightning bolt and sent it at Harver instead now. Why must I finish this all myself?
((BoA's sig. XD))
"Daaammn, and things get even pooptier..." Jas has her own lightning bolt strike the one Mage Riolo sent at Harver, then jumps down at Solon.
"Wow. Even when he's possessed, Solon's still an idiot," commented Venice.
(( The best part about my sig is it almost always makes sense =D ))
Solon turned so he was facing both Harver and Jas. "Two on one? Sounds like fun." (( Hey... that rhymes... ))
---
Mage Riolo sent another lightning bolt at the hovering water, this time it was faster and stronger.
Venice jumped in front of Riolo's lightning bolt and deflected it with his knife.
Damn... I don't have enough power left.
Harver, I can-
We're only using you as a last resort!
"What should we do?" Harver asked Jas, oblivious to the oncoming attack from Riolo. "We have to defeat Mage Riolo, but at the same time, there's Solon to worry about... what should we do?"
The bolt went flying back at Mage Riolo, who just made it disappear. Now he sent a lightning bolt underneath the water they were on, hoping to hit them from underneath.
---
The glowing blackness on Solon's chest disappeared. Solon shook his head and fell to his knees. "Ah..." He blinked a few times, the red receded from his eyes. What just happened? I think, Harver admitted he's a good guy and... Mage Riolo's the only Dead Men left, Solon caught himself up, though everything that just happened seemed so blurry, like he'd watched it through a window from afar.
Mira deflected his shot and threw another throwing star at Riolo.
Harver noticed Solon's sudden change. "Hey, are you ok?" He asked. "You seem a little... off right now."
Mage Riolo had been busy concentrating on the lightning bolt that he got hit on the same arm by the throwing star. The lightning bolt dispersed from lack of concentration. "Ack! You'll pay for that you lil' demon!" Mage Riolo shouted, cursing out Mira.
---
"What? N-No, I'm fine..." Solon reassured him. This isn't good... There's some sort of evil in my body and I can't shake it off... I'm trying to avenge my parent's death, not become what killed them... I know what I must do.
Jas closes her eyes, preparing her own spell. "A storm comes," she brings her blades down, and lightning bolts surround Mage Riolo. "Thundaga!" They close in on him.
((See this http://youtube.com/watch?v=bC2SucRDAgI))
"Demon? Why not." Mira took out two more throwing stars, transfered some energy to them, 'programmed' it to go for either vital body part, and threw the stars at Riolo.
Mage Riolo disappeared from where he was floating and reappeared on the other side of the room. The throwing stars completely missed him, but his closes got scorched by the lightning bolt sparks. They were on fire. He quickly fell into the water, patting his clothes dry. Now, he was sweating and panting slightly.
"I think I'll try copying that move," he said with a wicked grin. His wasn't quite as cool. Three lightning bolts circled around them and shot down at the water disk they were on, ignoring Jas, Harver and Solon for the moment.
Harver looked at Solon. "You don't seem fine to me."
Mira swung from his current location to the air, in Riolo's direction, taking his knives out and attempting the same thing he tried with Sweeny earlier.
"Wha!?" Jas notices the lightning going for her watery surf board, and casts one of the few White Magic spells she knows. "NulShock!" A yellow orb surrounds those in the water and on the disk. It takes in the electrical shocks they would've received, but disappears afterwards.
"Ah, I'm sorry... But those objects are against the laws of my lair," Riolo told Mira. "Freeze!" He sent a blast of ice at Mira. It also formed a protective wall of ice around himself.
---
"Everything's under control," Solon replied. The black reappeared on his chest. He blinked, and the red was back in his eyes. "I know exactly what I want." His voice was deep again. "Hand over the gems, and I will be just fine."
"Somehow, I can't believe that," Harver said, noticing the change. What should we do?
I don't know... I surely don't have the power to extinguish an evil of this extent... I'm sorry.
((g2g. .__.))
(( cya D= ))
"Believe it," Solon growled. "I will end up killing you, but I will give you a chance to hand over your dignity and give me the gems." Solon held out a hand for the gems, still keeping a tight grip on his sword.
No... Must fight it... Gah, it's not working! I'm losing my control more and more as I go... As long as I can still think freely, there's a chance for me yet, though!
((Bye LS Haha, Naruto BELIEVE IT!))
"This can't go on," Jas points a twin blade at Solon. "Snap outta it!" 'Why's it gotta be like this...?'
((bye)).
Mira dodged the ice. "OBJECTION! No one stopped me from using my knives and grappling hook, therefore, there is no law against them here! Besides," Mira took out a scroll, "the law doesn't stop me from doing anything. Jas! Cast NulFire on our allies! I'm going to use a scroll!" Mira put the scroll in his mouth, held his arms out sideways, moving his right hand downward and his left upward, with his hands meeting in the center part of his body, forming a handsign in the middle. The result was a burst of fire that came from Mira that went in all directions, in a circular form, with the fire being 15 feet tall. With no more scroll in mouth, Mira took his blades out and started charging for Riolo.
((I'll give cookies if you know what I am talking about, and no, it is not Naruto :| ))
"I'm trying!" Solon shouted, his eyes no longer glowing for a second. He shook his head, eyes regaining their glow. "Why would I give up this power?" he asked with a laugh and moved his own blade to face Jas. "I'll never go back to being good. It was a foolish mistake to ever think that good guys could ever win. Good guys always finish last."
---
Mage Riolo formed a water bubble around him to escape the fire. He formed a blade to fight Mira back with. "You wanna play with the top dog? Bring it on!"
"Can you fight within a wall of ice?" Mira said, ready to deflect any attack.
"Tch, that was so corny," Jas twirls her other blade, ready to fight or use a spell on Solon if needed.
"What's with everyone today?" Harver asked, unsheathing his sword, having it ready if needed. "This is like something out of a bad fan fic, or a Spider Man movie."
Keisha appears by Mira in a swirl of flames, ready to help.
'I hope it doesn't come down to us having to kill Solon,' Jas' eyes narrow slightly. 'We've come too far to let that happen...'
Venice watched Jas and Mira for a moment before looking at Solon, in case he decided to kill them all.
The ice barrier disappeared. "I can now," Mage Riolo replied. "Prepare to die. Both of you."
---
"Hmph. Fine, I'll kill you all if I must. Shouldn't be too hard, I know you all well enough to finish each one of you easily," Solon said, giving a cold, short laugh.
"And we know how to destroy you," Jas says, smirking. 'Just dig a two inch hole in the ground...'
Keisha's katana starts gaining a silver glow. "Bring it."
Mira ran to the other side of Riolo. "Which one of us are you going to attack first?" Mira asked while in his fighting stance.
"Solon! What do you think you're doing?" Tanbar shouted at him while he walked toward him without his sword in his hand because he didn't want to attack him. Lanbar came running over to Tanbar and stopped him with his arm and took out his own sword.
"Hey! Solon wants to kill us now." Lanbar said to his brother. "I know that you don't want to fight him but he won't be hesitating to kill you!"
(( 'Just dig a two inch hole in the ground...'
XD XD XD Ouch, that's cruel. ))
"I don't show favoritism. I treat each of you disgusting rats the same," Mage Riolo told him with a smirk. He pointed one of his swords at both of them and a black goo-like substance went shooting at both of them.
---
"I doubt you have a clue," Solon replied. "I'm not the same person I once was." He chuckled, twirling his sword. "Now, just hand over the gems, and no one gets hurt."
"Solon, you're an idiot if you think we're just oing to hand over the gems like that," said Venice. "And I doubt you can kill us all."
Mira dodged the black substance. Could that be.... Oil? Mira put his knives away and took out another bomb and threw it at the substance. If it detonates, it is oil.
The black goo ate the bomb. The bomb exploded inside the black goo, but all could be seen was the goo enlargening for a second, then a cloud of black smoke. The goo then deflated and disappeared into the ground.
---
"I will kill you all," Solon replied confidently. Then, the darkness disappeared from his chest and the red in his eyes was gone. Solon coughed and shook for a second, before falling. Damn... That always throws me off... He stood back up, shaking slightly. This situation is bad... But, on some twisted kind of bright side, I could pretend to be evil right now and they'd totally buy it. But back to the real question... What am I going to do?
"Back to normal?" asked Venice, who noticed the cough.
"Rat," Keisha runs in, jumping over the goo. "It's dog/wolf thank you," she swings her katana, hurling flames at Mage Riolo. "Get. It. Right!" She slashed to the left, right, then downwards, letting more swirls of flames fly at him.
While Keisha was attacking, Mira ran up to Riolo to stab him, avoid the substance as much as possible.
(( I thought the fall would have been a bigger hint then the cough :P ))
Solon just nodded, not making any eye contact. He was ashamed of what he kept on doing, or rather what the darker soul inside him kept on doing. It was even more painful to have to face everyone as a good guy only moments after trying to kill them. He kept on clenching and unclenching his fists to relieve the stress and staring at the ground.
---
Mage Riolo had a water bubble around him to distinguish the flames, but he was too slow for the sword slashes. Most of them hit, even though he was able to pull back so they didn't hit him too hard. His shoulder and arms were badly cut, but otherwise he was still up and able to fight. "Psh, dogs... Drooling, whining babies is what they are. I can't say I don't see some of those traits in yourself." He stabbed forward with his own sword while at the same time sending more goo at her. He sidestepped Mira's attack and shot a few more balls of the black goo at him as well.
Lanbar saw that Solon wasn't evil any more...for the moment and reached into his pocket and grabbed...a small wine bottle. "Strange...although I'm not one to really complain about something like this." He then downed the whole thing which made him slightly drunk.
"I don't think now's the time to do..." Tanbar was too late, Lanbar was already starting to stumble around...toward Mage Riolo. "...that." He finished with a sigh.
Lanbar went up behind Mage Riolo. "Hey! -hic- I challenge you to a one on -hic- one...duel." He said taking out his sword while swaying from side to side.
Mage Riolo gave a malicious grin then laughed. "Fine. If these two ra- Or should I say, darn dogs- let me," agreed Riolo.
Mira fell backwards to dodge the goo. "I'm not sure who the second 'dog' is, but if it is what I think it is, I most resemble a fox." Mira sweeped his legs around, in an attempt to trip Riolo.
Keisha growls and charges, pushing the goo back with her sword. "I'll rip your spinal cord out and feed it to ya myself!"
"Solon, snap out of it!" Harver shouted at him. "You're not acting like the Solon I know."
While sweeping his legs through, Mira twisted himself in a way to ready him for an upward strike, in case Riolo jumps.
Mage Riolo flew up into the air, remaining levitated halfway between the ground and ceiling. "I'll take that as a 'no', then." He shot a fireblast down at Mira and Keisha.
---
"I... I'm not," Solon admitted. "Zaronn... He killed me. No, he... He stabbed me with a sword formed from darkness... Now, we're sharing a soul or something. I keep switching back and forth... I dunno what to do." He said the last sentence as a whisper to himself. The periods are getting longer now... It won't be long before Zaronn fully takes over. I need to make my final decision, and quickly.
"There has to be a way to destroy the evil part of you and keep you intact!" Harver told him.
"Hey! Get back down here and -hic- fight me!...and besssssidessss, people aren't ssssupossed to -hic- fly!" Lanbar said swinging his sword at him pointlessly.
"Solon, just fight it. I'm sure he can never take full control." Tanbar said to Solon.
Mira dodged the blast, as he took out his grappling hook and threw it at Riolo, pulling in once it had made contact with his target, assuming that it did indeed get his target.
A twister begins to form around the blade of Keisha's katana. She twirls it, and slashes at Mage Riolo. Her twister gains more power as it travels towards her target.
'Knowing Solon, he'll go suicidal,' Jas bites on her lower lip slightly. 'Not gonna let him do that either. Maybe it'll work... Just gotta wait until he changes...
I wonder if Jas knows any binding spells from that book, thought Venice. Maybe she can seal Zaronn's soul... spirit... thing...
Mage Riolo was getting annoyed and tired out by the two of them. Before any of their attacks could place he disappeared and appeared over by the other group. "Time for a change of scenery," was his excuse.
---
Solon wasn't sure how to fight it. It would be fighting himself. But he nodded to both Tanbar and Harver and decided to think of a way out of the situation. The same idea continued to roll through his head. My last resort, he kept telling himself as the thought came to mind.
"Hey! Come back!" Mira did something with the rope, and the grappling hook made it to the ceiling. Mira used that to swing towards Riolo and attempt to slice him in the air.
"Hey, whatever you do, don't kill yourself. Jas and Keisha seem to know some magic now. They might be able to seal Zaronn's spirit thing somewhere. Sorta like how Keisha was bound in that book," said Venice. Then he looked at Riolo and slashed at him with his knife.
"Where'd the coward -hic- go?" Lanbar said turning around trying not to fall as he did so.
-------------------------------
Zaronn's soul still awaited within Solon hearing what everybody had to say and more importantly...Solon's thoughts. hmph...I suppose I should tell him just to shut him up about those thoughts. 'Solon...it's me, Zaronn.' his soul said and only Solon could hear.
"Gah, what!? Who said that?" Solon shouted out loud, looking around. "Zaronn?" Shit, I'm going insane now. Wait... Zaronn, are you the guy taking over my soul!?
---
Mage Riolo continued to disappear and reappear elsewhere whenever he was attacked. He was beginning to have trouble blocking all the shots as they came at him at once. This made him angry, and he began to glow red.
"I guess I shall turn red as well." Mira took out the materials from before, but with a different set of herbs, and make a potion. He then drank the potion, then became all red and full of energy. The energy resembled fire.
Venice decided to leave Riolo to Jas, Keisha, and Mira, and returned to where the other people were. "Who are you talking to?" he asked Solon.
((OMG! Mira's energy levels... IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!! Sorry couldn't resist.))
"Stupid little poop," Keisha jumps onto a wall, then rebounds off it, still going after Mage Riolo. "You guys, I think we got bigger issues here!"
Jas looks back to see her enemy glowing. "Don't let too big of a fart go, old man..." 'I can try using more Summons. They won't be chaotic like the that one, but they'd have to do...'
'Why...yes, yes I am. It seems I really have nothing to hide. And don't think that you or anybody else can help. If they try to seal me away, I'll take you with me. If they extract me from your body, I'll take you out with me and we both die. And one last thing, don't think you can carry out with sacrificing yourself. If you even try, I'll just take full control and when I do that...you'll never be back in control...ever!' Zaronn said with a laugh only Solon could hear. 'Face it, I've won now. There's no stopping me!'
Mira started to concentrate large amounts of energy into his arms and legs.
"Now what do we do?" Harver asked no one in particular.
"Lure....... Enemy..... To.... Me." Mira's mind was focused on concentrating his energy.
"I don't think we have any other choice but to kill Solon," said Venice. "Unless he can overcome Zaronn's influence in his soul, Zaronn will continuously try to take control. And I doubt he'll let Solon kill himself..."
Jas looks at Harver. "I have an idea that should work if he focuses..." 'Letting Solon turn evil for it to work is out of the question now...'
"Restrain Solon! I'll get to him in a moment." Mira said, pausing his energy concentration.
((brb, switching houses))
Maybe I can't kill myself, but someone else can kill me. He closed his eyes and sighed. Shit, this sucks... It was fun while it lasted...
---
"It's time to unlease my Dead Men ability. I can copy all of the traits of the four gems! Of course, I can't act as a gem... And the Scalander Gem's trait has to do with all the other for gems, so... Gah, I must quite my rambling! Hm... I think we need to start by slowing things down a bit... Time Gem time!" Everything stopped moving and Mage Riolo flew foward towards Jas first, to take the gems.
Solon was unaffected. I'm a Dead Men now, so his Dead Men move doesn't affect me... It probably doesn't affect Harver, either! Solon took the second to run at Jas first and snatch the gems, with his awesome pickpocket powers, without Mage Riolo noticing. But next second his eyes glowed and his chest grew black again. "Mwahaha! The Scalander Gem and Cloud Gem are MINE!"
Harver was about to ask Jas about her plan, but time was suddenly stopped, and only he, Solon, Riolo, and Zarani could move. He ran over to Solon. "Let's end this before you get taken over completely. If we can defeat Mage Riolo and destroy the gems, maybe the evil side of you will be destroyed as well."
Haha! The fool. Even without me controlling him, my evil is strong enough to influence him...so without taking over...He then sent thoughts to him telling him to use the Crescent Gem and blind Harver so he can take his two gems.
Solon had a sudden moment where his mind just completely went blank. Without thinking, he shot the Crescent Gem at Harver to blind him, then attempted to pickpocket his gems.
After Solon did that, time sped up again. "Damn it!" Mage Riolo shouted. "My plan didn't work... And I'm running out of power..."
Harver skipped to the side, and quickly dodged the Crecent Gem. He then turned back to Solon. "What was that for?"
((Nooo! Unfreeze meh!))
This time, Jas put the gem in her shirt. Would Solon really reach there, even if he is possessed? The look on her face is quite vicious. (XP)
As time moved to a more normal pace, Venice looked around, looking for the gems. Riolo probably took them from Jas. he thought. Suddenly, he saw the glint of the gems in Solon's hands. He dashed towards him to try and take the gems before Zaronn took over.
Dark Solon took over as time came back. "For your gems, idiot!" he told Harver. Then he took his sword out and slashed it at Venice. "You're all too late. I just need the Time and Scale Gem, then my collection will be complete!"
Venice ducked under the sword and lunged to grab the gems.
Jas blinks for a moment. "So much for that," she says, now going through with her plan. 'That darkness, will be gone...' A ring of white beads begin to form around her twin blades. "Holy!" She stabs forwards at Solon, the ring breaks as the beads spread. They rain down on Solon.
((Holy: http://youtube.com/watch?v=g0Zz2VxDcxM))
((Is time normal again?))
((Yeah it is.))
((Um... ShOrTi, what was that enemy?))
(( Yeah ))
"What the hell?" Solon shouted, rolling out of the way of the beads. "Keep your magic off of me! I've got a plan to execute." In doing so, he also dodged Venice's attack.
Harver skipped back, pulled out his sword, and got into a defensive stance. I can't afford him to get the gems!!
((A Jumbo Flan. 0.0))
"Okay, now you're startin' to piss me off," Jas growls a bit. She wouldn't be able to do that again for a while.
Using his light speed, Solon attempted to speed by Harver and snatch the gems without even being noticed.
---
Mage Riolo was re-calculating and thinking up a new plan. First I must pick off the weakest in their little group...
You may have the gem, but I have the power!! Time! Time froze like always, and Harver ran up to Solon, snatching the Time and Scale gems back before time resumed.
(( Wait, you can't use that move if you lost the gem. ))
Energy could he seen going to Mira's head. He put his arms outstretched from his sides and crouched down a bit. "ZA WARUDO!" Unlike the actual technique, time to not actually stop, but Mira sees and moves as it it was. His first action in this state was to use his energy-filled legs to jump to Riolo's location and slice him in half.
Tanbar looked around a bit panicked not knowing what to do with Solon turning evil and Lanbar still stumbling around drunk.
-------------
Note to self: When I take over, get rid of those bumbling twins first. Zaronn was really starting to get annoyed by those two since they've been a thron in his side for a long time now.
((Got to go, party. See you all in the morning. Don't get too far/end this without me!!! >_<))
With the power of the Scale Gem, the move did not affect Mage Riolo. Good, I can buy time for a bit longer with my powers... But then I must finish this! He took his sword and plunged it at Mira, aiming right at his chest.
((Why would we end without one of the main characters? Also, Jumbo...... Flan. Like the food? And is time still frozen?))
Mira deflected the sword and wrapped his arm around the back of Riolo's neck as a result of the deflection. He then pulled down and tried to stab at Riolo's chest.
Mage Riolo still had the Scale Gem powers intact, giving him immense power, so the knife didn't affect him. Mage Riolo flipped around to shake Mira off and then punched Mira away from him.
Mira wrapped his legs around Riolo's elbows before he got too far down. While his legs were wrapped around his target, he started to feel around for any of the gems, taking one if he found any. And if he did, he could do a partial bicycle kick against Riolo, then jump off his back.
((@T_L: I dunno why it's called that.
@LS: Bye...))
Keisha lunges from behind Riolo, her claws extended and flaming.
It'S THE FINAL COUNT DOWN!!!
DUNNANUHnUHDUNNHANUHNUH.
Man... I haven't been here in... forever.
Summary? >_>
((It's not important to you, with your characters and all, but it's on the front page)).
(( Uh... >.>;; Giving a summary would be near impossible XD. The group, plus some new guys, have gotten into the Dead Men's final lair. Harver turned out to be a good guy. All the Dead Men are dead except for Mage Riolo, the leader. They are trying to kill him. Zaronn, another Dead Men, put his soul in Solon so now Solon is switches between good and bad. Jas learned magic spells, and... I dunno, others can add to that. ))
Mage Riolo disappeared once again, leaving Mira to fall to the ground and Keisha without a target. "Stop ganging up on me, darn it! Cheaters!" He rushed down and grabbed Tanbar, pointing a knife to his throat. "Come close to me and this one dies!"
Mira, as fast as he was since the Za Warudo, substituted himself with Tanbar. "Don't use our allies, use your targets."
"Weak poop," Keisha lands on her feet and claws at the air. For a moment it looks like she did nothing, but then flames appear where Riolo's holding the knife.
"Please...don't come close to him!" He said before he was switched with Mira. Whew, that was close.
Taking advantage of this, Mira used Riolo's knife arm, and performed a shoulder throw.
Mage Riolo went flying and crashed into Solon. The hit jambled Zaronn, giving Solon control again. Mage Riolo changed his tactics. He grabbed Solon and threw him at Mira. Then flew into the air and against the wall on the other side of the room.
"Gah!" Solon shouted as he went crashing into Mira.
Zaronn lost control of being able to influence Solon. Damn! It looks like I'll have to wait for him to turn evil again before I can start my influences again.
Lanbar went stumbling toward Riolo and brought up his sword and clumsilly swung it at Mage Riolo.
Mira caught Solon, but skid backwards a bit. "Are you ok now?" Mira asked.
"Riolo's playing pinball with us," observed Venice. He ran toward Riolo and slashed at him.
Solon was slightly dizzy, but he shook it off. "Yeah... He knocked it out of me..." Solon replied. He hopped onto the ground. "I just gotta work on keeping it this way..."
---
Mage Riolo used a sound boom to send the people attacking him flying back.
Venice was sent flying back. He noticed that Solon was seemingly normal for the moment.
"Solon!" he called. "Give someone the gems before Zaronn takes over again!"
"Naw really?" Jas asks. She slides back because of the attack, but starts sprinting towards Riolo afterwards.
Lanbar fell over before attacking but got back up. "Hey! Now what wassss -hic- that for?" He then ran at Riolo swinging his sword at him drunkly.
"Right!" Solon threw the Cloud and Scalander Gem at Venice. "Just don't let me or Mage Riolo get them, whatever you do!" I can't go on with this much longer... Zaronn, you're getting out of me soon enough, I swear!
---
Mage Riolo screeched at a high, irritating pitch.
Venice caught the gems.
"I was gonna suggest Jas, but okay," said Venice, pocketing the gems. "What's wrong with Mage What's-His-Face?
Mira's energy blocked the high pitch, as he dashed to Venice's location. "I'm here to make sure no one takes the gems from you."
((Wait, isn't it only Solon who can use/ touch the Crescent gem?))
'Damn you! No matter though, it will still be a matter of time before I make you take all the gems for me to use.' Zaronn said with an angered tone which became calm as he said the second sentence.
Keisha stops where she is. Her ears fold back against her head, irritated.
"Oh shut up!" Water begins to swirl. "Waterga!" With that, a huge fountain of water gushes up from under Riolo.
((He only gave the Cloud and Scalander Gems.))
"What are you my bodyguard?" said Venice, raising an eyebrow.
He examined the gems for a moment and put the Scalander Gem back in his pocket,. The Cloud Gem grants speed, it seems, so it will be more useful.
He tossed it up and down for a moment then decided to use it. How to activate a gem's power?
"No. I am more of a gem guard, in case you get attack and the gems fly free somehow (i.e. result of collision)."
"I'm perfectly capable of guarding the gems myself," said Venice. He looked at the Cloud Gem again and tried waving it around to see if that did something. That accomplished nothing and he decided to attack Mage Riolo. He ran towards the Mage, but for some reason, he went to fast and ran past him. Oh. I guess the gem's working already.
He rushed the mage again, slashing at incredibly high speed.
"It's called 'back-up'." Mira said, as he ran to Venice and Riolo's location, as if he were a referee.
Venice's attack missed Mage Riolo as he was shot up into the air by the water. He crashed into the ceiling, but didn't come back down. "None of you will be able to reach me up here!" Mage Riolo laughed.
Solon grappled onto Mage Riolo's foot and pulled himself up to kick him. Mage Riolo took the kick but kicked back at Solon's head and shook the grappling hook off, making him fall back down to the ground. "Ow... Damn..." Solon mumbled.
I think some of my power are returning... Harver snapped his fingers, and a streak of flames shot up and towards Mage Riolo.
"Gah!" Mage Riolo's robes were on fire from Harver's attack. "It's getting... So hot..." He began stopping, dropping, and rolling on the cieling to get the fire off of him. It hit his foot and his foot began to burn. He ripped his robes off before the fire burnt more then his left foot. Underneath he was wearing a white onesie (just in adult size >.>; ). "Fools! All of you!" I need to kill at least one of them before my whole plan falls apart! "How about we do this fairly? I'll fight each of you one on one. Each time one of your guys lose, I'll fight the next in line. But as soon as I lose, you can finish me off."
"Finally!" Lanbar shouted still as drunk as before. "I wanna -hic- go firssst!" He drew his sword looking at Mage Riolo.
"Then face me, and prepare to lose!" Mage Riolo shouted, landing a few feet away from Lanbar. He took out two swords, produced from electricty. If touched, they would shock you.
"I won't -hic- loose!" He said taking only a couple steps toward Mage Riolo before falling on the ground and not moving except for some snoring that could be heard.
"Uh... Does that count as losing?" asked Venice.
"Get up!" Mage Riolo shouted, using the electricity in his sword to pull Lanbar into a levitating standing position. "Face me or die!"
"Huh? Oh -hic- right." With that, he stumbled over to Mage Riolo and swung at him clumsilly with his sword.
Mage blocked it and pushed him back with his own sword. "Ah, this makes for a perfect warm up battle," Mage Riolo mocked.
"Why I oughta...-hic-" He dropped his sword and held up his fists. He ran at him and raised his fist to punch Mage Riolo in the face but then threw a punch at his gut with the other fist.
Mage Riolo stabbed forward when Lanbar ran at him. He dodged the head hit but didn't see the other punch coming. He stumbled back when the punch made contact but stabbed forward again in case his last didn't do enough damage.
Lanbar was nicked by the first stab but fell back onto the ground when the second stab came completely avoiding the attack. He then sort of just layed there again...
"I don't have time for a waste of a life like you!" snarled Mage Riolo. He jumped into the air and came down on Lanbar sword first, if landing correctly it would hit right in his stomach.
Mira rushed in and pulled Lanbar out of the fight - literally. He then began to examine Lanbar to see if he wa alright, and if he needed to be healed. Damn, a perfect time for a kill. Mira thought, noting Riolo's position.
"Ridiculous," Jas and Keisha stand there watching them.
(( Finally, 300 pages... ))
Mage Riolo just growled. "I'll count that as a win. Who's next?"
---
Solon shook violently for a moment, before his chest glowed black again and his pupils turned red. He gave a low growl that turned into a laugh. "Ah, the power... I'm back."
'And now it's my turn!' Zaronn decided that all of this had gone on for too long. He went and took full control of Solon's body. He took out Solon's sword and pointed it at Mage Riolo. "I will fight you." He said with a wicked smile.
"Ah, good. I need to get the one 'villain' out of the way so I can finish these other 'good guys' off," Mage Riolo replied. He pointed his lightning sword at Solon/Zaronn, waiting for the attack.
Zaronn ((I suppose we'll just call him Zaronn from now on out.)) sidestepped around Mage Riolo with his sword still pointed at him.
Mage Riolo sent electric zaps at Zaronn's hand, hoping he'd drop his sword leaving him vulnerable for attack.
---
Shit! Solon thought frantically. I can't get control back! Zaronn, stop! Why don't you get the hell out of me and into your own body? This way, you can take full credit for your work, instead of having me take half of the glory!
((His body's kinda dead... XP))
'So he's tryin' to pick us off one by one?' "Hmph," Jas turns the blades in her hands slowly, waiting for another chance to strike.
"Jas, do you know any spells that can mess up our enemy's sense or judgment, or at least disable him from using his magic?" Mira whispered to Jas.
(( Shhh... Maybe he doesn't know that D: ))
"All I can do is take some of the energy needed to use the magic," Jas whispers back.
"I can help with that too," Keisha says, holding her katana over her shoulder.
"We should drain as much MP as possible from the enemy before we attack head.... On..... Apply directly to the forehead."
((XD))
"What does that have to do with this?" Keisha's dog ears twitch.
"Doesn't matter," Jas looks back up at the fight. "We do what we gotta do."
Zaronn grabbed the Crescent gem as quickly as he could and sent out a bright flash of light and when it dimmed, he was gone, avoiding Mage Riolo's attack. "A bit slow, I see." Zaronn said swinging his sword at Mage Riolo's neck.
((Wait... I know Zaronn has Solon's body, but it's still Zaronn. Shouldn't he not have the power to use the Crescent Gem?))
((It depends how the curse affects the gem. If it's the physical body of Solon that can use the gem then Zaronn would have no problems using it. I'm just assuming that's the case here...and I can't believe we went past the entire page of 300 without one congradulations to BoA OR any Sparta jokes. XD))
(( Yeah, it's more of a physical identity sort of thing, so Zaronn can use it. Mostly because Zaronn is sharing Solon's soul, so it is practically impossible for an inanimate object to tell the difference. ))
Mage Riolo twisted around to face Zaronn when he heard him. It helped him avoid most of the hit, but the slash still cut into his neck slightly. He growled and sent fire spitting at Zaronn.
Harver simply watched the fight. Damn! I hate not being able to help... not being able to do anything.
Zaronn jumped over to the side with the edge of his shirt catching flames. He put out the fire by clamping it with his hand. He didn't care if it badly burnt the hand, this wasn't his body. It was Solon's. He then ran forward at Mage Riolo, swung at his head but at the last moment, he made another bright flash using the Crescent gem and swung at Riolo's legs instead.
My only shirt! MY FAVORITE HAND! No offense to my other hand, it's great, too... Er, I mean- ZARONN YOU ASSHOLE! Solon thought angrily
---
Mage Riolo had been ready to block the head shot, but was not prepared for the leg shot. He felt the blade sink into his leg, and he fell to his knees. "Argh!" he yelped. I don't have much strength left... Damn it! I must finish this!
---
Zaronn really knows how to use the Crescent Gem... Solon thought.
Zaronn smirked at the thoughts he was hearing from Solon. He then walked over to Mage Riolo. "You really dissapoint me. When I joined the Dead Men, you were the one I feared most since it was my plan from the start to turn on you guys." Zaronn said putting his blade up to his neck. "I expected more out of you. That drunkard over there could have beaten you if he continued fighting."
"On the count of three, we should drain as much energy from our enemy as possible, then gang up on him, which would lead to his death. Once that happens, we would need a portal, but that goes after the death. Ready?" Mira asked, before counting, and not seeing Riolo's current condition.
((IT'S OVER THREEEEE-HUNDRED!!! ...Had the urge to do that.))
'Either way, this can't be good,' Jas and Keisha take a step forward. "We're ready..."
"I'm afraid you'll have to work harder," Lord Kerow said, standing up. There was a large hole in his chest from where Harver had stabbed him, and he was bleeding badly. However, he was still alive.
"Ok, 1..... 2.... 3..... DRAIN!" Mira yelled, waiting for Jas and/or Keisha to drain the energy from Riolo, but other then that, he was prepared to attack once they finished draining.
"Oh, come on!" said Venice as he saw Kerow standing. "Why can't any of our enemies just stay dead?!"
With the last word, he dashed towards Kerow with the Cloud Gem's speed and slashed at him with his stolen sword.
Mage Riolo was breathing heavily, but smirked and disappeared, reappearing behind Zaronn. He grabbed Zaronn's neck and attempted to choke him. "I've still got some tricks up my sleeve," he hissed. By touching Zaronn, he was draining energy from him to transfer to himself.
---
I really want both of you guys to lose, Solon told Zaronn. Then continued concocting his plan to himself, And I know just the way to do that... Mage Riolo just needs to keep taking Zaronn's energy... I can feel him weakening enough for me to possibly take control again...
---
Mage Riolo felt all the energy he was taking from Zaronn get drained away from him. Both Zaronn and Mage Riolo were losing their energy. It wasn't enough to kill Mage Riolo, for the energy being taken from him was Zaronn's in the first place.
Mira ran to Riolo's location and tried to stab Riolo half an inch into Riolo's spine.
Lord Kerow sidestepped the attack from Venice, and then created a large blade from the darkness. "You can't defeat me!!" He cried out.
"Urk!" I was foolish to let him live any longer but there's still something I can do. He formed the same dark blade that he had used on Solon except this time it was much longer. He turned it around so the point was facing him and Mage Riolo. He then stabbed himself and Riolo but since the blade was formed with his own evil, it did not affect himself. "Likewise...so do I."
Mira jumped back, since he was behind Riolo.
((What the freezy!? Here he comes poppin up like somethin' out the crypt.))
Keisha holds her katana sideways, slightly above her head. "Magic," her blade glows slightly as she charges at Riolo. "BREAK!"
Jas remains where she is, pointing her right blade at Riolo. "Osmose!" She brings her sword back towards herself, along with streams of her enemy's energy.
"Why are villains always so cocky?" wondered Venice out loud, slashing at Kerow several times.
Kerow blocked all of the attacks with his sword. His wound seemed to close a little. "I won't die!!"
(( And I'm out. It's an all-nighter, so... *spontaneously combusts* ))
As all the attacks went at Mage Riolo at once, he disappeared from the spot. Thus missing all the attacks. He appeared by Kerow' s side. "What took you so long?" he growled. "You think I can babysit for that long? I hate kids!"
---
Hm... If what Mage Riolo said is true, then if we can kill Mage Riolo, Lord Kerow will just die with the collapse of the lair. Unless he can create a portal and get out before the place collapses... Solon thought.
Zaronn made the blade of evil dissappear as he saw Mage Riolo and Lord Kerow stand side by side. I suppose I'll let the others take care of those two. Zaronn took a few steps back and leaned against the wall of the dome and watched.
"Ah!" Mira yelled in surprise. "How did we miss?! I thought at least the osmosis did something! Damn....." Mira's energy started to wain, as Mira started to feel the after effects of the drug.
"I almost died, there," Kerow said, swinging his sword at Venice. "I can't do everything!"
"Everything dies, Kerow," said Venice, blocking the attack. He pretended to slash at his legs, but then let it fly up to his neck.
Kerow prepared to block the strike at his legs, but was surprised when it came at his neck. He dodged to the side, but the blade still nicked his neck. He retaliated with another swing of his darkness sword.
Venice dodged to the side and stabbed at Kerow several times in quick succession.
All of the stabs hit Kerow, as he was unprepared for the sudden attack. He clutched at his chest, blood flowing down. "N-no!!" He fell to his knees, staring at his wounds.
"Maybe I should put him out of his misery," said Venice. With that he sent another swift slash at Kerow's neck to behead him.
"I... can't die!!" Kerow exclaimed in pain. Venice's blade connected with Kerow's neck, and his head went flying into the pool of water. The rest of his body collapsed to the ground, dead.
"I really hope he's actually dead this time," said Venice, stabbing the body several more times, just to make sure.
((*Cue Sh0rTi's sadistic laughing*))
Jas watches blood go everywhere for a few moments before looking away.
((That's creepy. O.O))
Venice got bored, so he just continued stabbing Kerow's bloody body.
((You're the one with the char who's stabbing at an already dead, decapitated body. >.>))
"Don'cha think that's a bit much?" Keisha once again has her katana over her shoulder, and is now watching Venice's actions.
"Yeah, we should probably deal with the other guys now."
"I'm bored," said Venice, still stabbing Kerow repeatedly. "Let Harver and Jas handle Riolo. Solon can take care of Zaronn himself."
"But what about everyone else?"
"Who else is there?" asked Venice, still stabbing.
"Me, the person from the book.... Zarani?"
"Oh. Well, they can help what's-his-face with his mental problems. Or they can do what they want. I don't care," said Venice.
"Which guy?"
"Not really sure," said Venice. "Whichever one has the mental problem."
"Which is which guy?"
"What? I have no idea," said Venice.
"Then how do you know there is a guy with mental issues?"
"Are you trying to annoy me? Just shut up."
"Both of you shut the hell up," Jas says glancing back at them. "Please. I mean come on, I think this has to be the most pointless thing I've heard today."
"It's not pointless when I am trying to identify the target in which he's talking about."
"I don't know. I've heard alot of pointless things today," said Venice.
I can't take much more of their foolish, insufferable babbling, Mage Riolo thought with disgust. Too bad for Kerow. Bah, he deserved to die. I would have killed him anyway after helping me get the gems. Meheheheh, it's just a matter of time before I kill them all off. With this rest I've been given, I feel most of my strength returning... And most of my cuts have been healed.
---
Zaronn, finish this! Get Mage Riolo, it's now or never, Solon insisted. You're a Dead Men, so you must have been given the power needed to finish him!
((grounded for a week and I'm out of it, sorry I didn't tell you before, summary please...)
((After we made it to Emit, fought the Dead Men for a bit, got teleported to their hideout, and now we are fighting Mage Riolo)).
"What's that about rest?" Mira asked randomly. Dammit! Am I doing it again? Well either way. "..... Ok then, ♪now the hell are we waiting for-or?♪"
((ololololol (http://youtube.com/watch?v=647vIZu18iQ))).
((Jay-Z/Linkin Park. Nice, I love that song.))
"Ugh," Keisha just rolls her eyes, and goes to fight again, but Jas stops her.
"No, wait," she says, preparing to use Holy on Solon again, while nobody's paying attention.
"No wait what? We cannot let our enemy rest! But at the same time...." Mira fell to his knee, then exhaled sharply. "That took a lot out of me. Hey, where's Hanzo? He may not be all that smart, but he does seem to know a few techniques that I don't."
"I'm trying holy again baka, that's what," Jas' twin blades begin to glow slightly once more.
"o i c". Mira fell on his other knee, then fell on his hands.

Ha! Of course I have powers that can kill Mage Riolo. But I want to see you friends perish by his hand before taking him out myself.
((Dang that sucks.))

((Uhh... not to be rude or anything, but it would be senseless to add another character in right now. The story ends in about ten pages, and they're in a place no one else can access.))
((Maybe in the epilogue? :^D ))
((An epilogue is meant to tie up loose ends, not introduce new characters (unless they're integral to the plot, like a certain character's children, or something of the like).))
((I was just joking)).
"So how long does it take to cast holy?" Mira asked, lying on the floor at this point.
I'm not entirely sure what the hell 'Holy' is, but it must be my only other option, Solon thought. Maybe I don't have to face the light after all... Not yet, at least...
---
"With my power back, you shall all be destroyed!" MR cried out. He gave a chuckle before levitating once again. He turned onto his belly and began to spin around faster and faster with his sword out in front of him. Now he looked like a giant drill, his sword was the pointy part at the end. "Try and dodge this!" He suddenly drilled forward, crushing anything in his path.
Mira, with a lot of effort and spare energy, rolled out of the path of the 'drill'.
"That's a dumb attack," commented Venice, making sure he was out of MR's path.
MR turned the drill before hitting the opposite wall and shot at Venice with augmented speed.
((Whoowhee. That's a poopload of posts... Summarize it, please.))
"I had to say something," muttered Venice, stepping out of MR's path.
((Where did you leave off? I don't want to summarize too much)).
Dammit! I cannot move anymore. I must start my regeneration phase. but is it worth it? I don't want people to worry. Will people worry?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ughhhhhhh......." A man in white shirt fell to the floor with blood all over his shirt, as Mira stood there in the same position he was in when he stabbed the man. Mira heard some movement, then ran down some stairs nearby. Wooden, wheelchair-like machines came running after Mira, as he ran down the steps. He entered a room with large metal gears that could crush him, but Mira jumped out the nearby window, down to the village below. He used his grappling hook halfway down, so he would not injure himself, then started walking along a path. The survivors ran from Mira. Mira lowered his head and walked out of the village.
((@LS I respect your arguement, but this character is for my beneficial use in this story, and my only path to get Hanz? with you guys. so back off, no offense.))
Hanz? stirred to find himself awake, on the deck.
"Why am I-"
"Your friends need you."
"Huh...wha-?" A white light engulfed him, and he was whizzing through space...and fell in the middle of a round floor.
((When Kerow transported everyone, however, I meant everyone. That included Hanzo.))
((And what's the deal with Harver?))
((Ne? What about him?))
((It's like he disappeared at some point. I don't want to have to look back 10+ pages trying to find out what happened)).
((He never disappeared. He's just under the radar. He doesn't neccessarily have to do anything at the moment.))
((Because of Zaronn?))
((This is workin' my nerves. Do I HAVE to make another side story?))
(( *wakes up* Wha? I'm awake, I'm awake... 5 more minutes please... But this really should end before my April break, I don't want to miss out on the end ;_; ))
Mage Riolo jumped onto the wall and hung there, trying to think of what to do next. Eh, I'll let them try it at me. Not like they'll win, why should I worry?
Harver looked up at Mage Riolo. Damn! I still don't have that much power left... I don't want to waste the last of it yet...
No, I have no choice. I may die, yet we all might be dead anyway. Mira slipped into a state of consciousness which allow Mira to regenerate in a comparatively fast rate, but in exchange, Mira would appear to be dead. It would be very hard to tell whether or not he's really dead or not.
Keisha appears in the air next to Mage Riolo in her flames. She slices hard and fast to the side, directly at the middle of his back.
Riolo had been paying more attention to Mira, who seemed to have just dropped dead for no reason at all. He appeared before him, unconciously missing Keisha's attack. He poked Mira, ready to give a final lethal stab if it turned out he was still alive.
'... Weirdo...' Keisha appears behind Mage Riolo, ready to brutally poke him with her katana.
Mira stood still, without moving. No thought, extremely small breaths, extremely low heart rate, and pale skin (wherever skin could be seen). If he was to be cut, blood would flow out slowly.
((Mira cannot really do much, but he is trying to use a rapid regeneration technique. In exchange, this will last for about 9 posts, assuming that no one does anything that would actually kill him)).
(( ;_; ))
Mage Riolo stabbed at Mira, but because of Keisha suddenly appearing behind him he missed Mira's chest and instead drave into his shoulder, leaving a deep, nasty gash. Mage Riolo quickly gained composure, ready to attack either Mira or Keisha and finish them.
((It's only for 7 posts at this point))
Mira bled very slowly.
"Feh," Keisha does a quick stab forward, going for the stomach.
Mira's shoulder continued to bleed, but in a slower and slower pace.
Mage Riolo sidestepped it and aimed another quick slash at Mira. He was too intent on watching Keisha carefully to do an extremely damaging blow, but he managed to slice a deep cut into Mira's right wrist before getting ready for any more attacks from Keisha.
Mira's skin repair itself, but a bruise was present, for the veins and arteries in the wrist were severed.
Mage Riolo sent another stab at Mira's chest. It made contact with his gut, gorging into the skin. "Mwahahaha!" screamed Mage Riolo, high off of the blood coming from Mira. "It will be written in blood about how you all tried to escape, but how ruthless Mage Riolo ripped apart every last one of you!"
"Oh shut up," Keisha sprints forwards and sends a succession of flaming swirls at Mage Riolo. She then disappears and reappears behind and above him, slashing and sending more of the demonic flames at him.
Mira's blood prevent the wound from being infected, but Mira kept the blade in his gut.
Mage Riolo's screech became louder and higher as the flames licked at his skin. He disappeared from view, only to be found flailing in the water, trying to subside the burns.
Mira started breathing heavily.
"Damnit, I said SHUT UP!" Keisha lunges at the water, still furiously slashing at Mage Riolo.
Mira sat up, then took out some tools for some type of self-surgery. Mira consumed some of the potion he had made earlier, along with an anesthetic herb. Trying to stay focus, Mira removed the blade and used his metal wire to close up the gut, then to close up the skin in that area. Mira then started channeling energy throughout his body, as to speed up the healing process. Dammit! My plan backfired! At least I can work now.
Mage Riolo sunk into the water, soon evaporating. He appeared a few feet from the water and gave a shrill laugh. "You can never shut me up!"
"Hey man, come here." Mira said in a calm voice, as he continued to channel his energy through him.
"Hm?" Mage Riolo turned to look at Mira. I thought I killed him... Something seems fishy about this. Mage Riolo took a step back instead, narrowing his eyes at Mira. "What do you want?"

Mage Riolo sunk into the water, soon evaporating. He appeared a few feet from the water and gave a shrill laugh. "You can never shut me up!"
"I don't think you wanna bet on that," Keisha Jumps out of the water, and onto the ground. She flicks the water off her blade, and gets in a fighting stance.
Mage Riolo sighed and turned to face Keisha. "When will you just die, already? It is getting tiring fighting the same person over and over. Especially one as dull as you," he insulted, stretching out and giving a yawn as he waited for the attack.
"You cannot kill me. No matter how much you try, I will find a way back." Hehehehe. "Instead, let's try to solve our problems another way."
"Hey, fighting M.J.'s ninny ain't all that fun either," Keisha's eyes flicker red. Her evil half is hers again, and unlike Jas, she can control it well. The katana she's holding begins to pulse slightly.
Harver unsheathed his sword, prepared to step in at a moment's notice. What does he have in mind...?
Mira was distracted by Keisha's comment. "Michael Jackson?" Mira asked randomly.
"Yes," Keisha says, ears twitching. "That M.J."
Meanwhile, Jas built up enough energy to cast Holy again. She stays quiet so no attention is brought to her.
"..." How did she know!? M.R. thought frantically before shaking it off and taking out his own dark sword. He makes sure he is facing all of them as to not have any surprise attacks.
"That poor kid..... Anyways, how long will we keep fighting? At this point, we are never going to get anywhere."
"This is probably the most boring fight we've had in ages," said Venice, who was back at stabbing Kerow. "Corny banter and a suckish villain."
Zaronn looked up and saw that Mage Riolo still hadn't taken care of the others. This is taking too long. He drew his sword as a dark aura started to circle it before it became an even bigger blade but made of pure darkness and evil. The same aura seemed to started coming out of his body. "Riolo, can you even take care of a bunch of twirps like these?" He said pointing his sword at him.
((OMG WTF!? XD))
Keisha is still letting power flow into her blade (not knowing how true the M.J. thing is), her intense glare not letting up.
(( If you try attacking him again he may show some of the dance moves that M.J. taught him as apprentice :O. ))
"I must be good if a big group of fully armed killers haven't managed to defeat me yet," snarled M.R. to Venice. "And this idiot healed himself after stabbing him to death!" he added to Zaronn, pointing at Mira. "I would have had a kill..."
"Excuses excuses." Zaronn said shaking his head from side to side with an evil smirk on his face. "If you were truly evil, everyone should have been DEAD by now." As he said dead, he looked directly at Mage Riolo's eyes and gave an evil glare that would have made Ghengis Khan look like Bambi.
"I'm hungry," commented Venice rather randomly. "Can we kill them sometime today?"
"You know, we could theoretically post-pone the final battle. I mean seriously, we are getting nowhere right now!"
((oh, but still, Z shall prove useful and update: I GOT MY WII AND SSBB! YAYNESS!))
Hanz? then ducked and yelled as a fireball barely missed him. He saw a dark figure fighting the rest of his friends.
"Oye Mira! What's going on?"
Mage Riolo growled and narrowed his eyes, matching Zaronn's stare. "You want to fight the man who brought you the moves you know today? I can take them away from you just as easily! Like that darn Michael Jackson did to all my sexy dance moves!" Mage Riolo gave a sadistic smile at Venice. "I plan on killing you first," he warned him.
Venice smiled innocently, although the MJ sexy dance move comment was somewhat disturbing.
"Don't make me laugh." He said running forward and giving a slash at Mage Riolo's mid-body. "I've far surpassed you with the power you foolishly granted me without thought."
"Hey, let me in the fight!" Hanz? charged the mage with his shadow blade and swiped it at his legs.
((Notice how he even has the initials thing goin' on too... XD))
"Either you guys are not evil in the first place, or can't fight worth poop," Keisha says. "In case you haven't noticed, neither of you have killed any of us."
"We can't get anyw-" Jas stops, thinking she heard something about Michael Jackson and sexy dance moves. Her right eye starts twitching. "... No comment."
"Where did swearing become an issue? And what up with this M.J. crap?"
(( Why is it that Solon's the only one that got beaten? Nevermind, don't answer >.> ))
"You want to see evil? Oh, I'll show you evil!" M.R. took out a gun. "I didn't want to have to result to this, but if I must, I must!" He began shooting bullets in every which direction.
(( You're just lucky he didn't pull out the disco ball like he was going to... ))
((And so you died because you got sliced in half by Zaronn and Hanzo goes for the overkill by slicing at your legs and you made no effort to dodge the attacks. ;) :P))
(( Forgot about those ))
M.R. jumped over Hanzo's attack and shoots down at him, but gets his arm cut off by Zaronn's attack. "Urrk..." He fell to the ground and vomitted as blood steadily flowed out of him. "N-No..."
Harver dodged the bullets shot in his direction, and ran up to the missing-arm Mage Riolo. He made a swift stab at his chest.
"Dude, that is so unfair. But at least Kerow is good for something," said Venice, using Kerow as a shield.
"Hmph." Zaronn walks over to M.R. "Pitiful, I could have easily assassinated you as easily as all the other hundreds of people I killed." With that, he thrust his blade of darkness right at M.R.'s heart.
He used the last of his energy to get back up and shot multiple bullets at and around Zaronn, making it almost impossible to dodge. Then turned and shot another at Harver's head before getting hit by both their attacks and collapsing.
Mira walked into range, took out two more grenades, threw them at Riolo, then waited for an explosion. Once they exploded (assuming that they did), Mira stabbed Riolo several times to ensure his death.
"I don't think I want to know," Though somewhat disturbed, Jas managed to get her magic strength back, and casts Shell, a magic shielding spell on her comrades. She dunks behind a rock, but not before getting hit on the thigh. "Daaammn!" She slams her right blade into the ground. "Firaga!" Roaring flames erupt from under Mage Riolo and Zaronn, as Jas holds her wound.
((Um...overkill much, PERSON?. ::)))
Zaronn was shot in the arm but he did not flinch for this was still Solon's body that he was using. He simply didn't care what happened to it. If it gets too beaten up, I'll just find a new body. He then quickly jumped far back from Mira' grenades and then rushed at Venice and sliced at him with his sword.
((I g2g now))
((K bye)).
Damn! Mira threw his grappling hook at Zaronn.
Harver pulled his blade back, seeing Riolo turn towards him. He sheathed his blade, and tried to dodge the bullet. Unfortunately, he wasn't swift enough. He dodged most of the bullet, but it grazed past his left ear, leaving it bleeding. He was alive, with most of his ear still intact.
Venice dodged the attack and slashed at Zaronn.
(( God darn it you guys, be careful with Solon's sexy body! ))
...This is fun... Solon thought with a sigh. He would have given a disturbed look at M.R. if he could, who lay blown into smitherins and battered in a pool of blood. I need a plan to get out of here! Must... Struggle... To... Gain... Control... Of... Brain...
"Solon! God dangit, it's your body and no one else's. Get the invader out of your brain!"
"Solon has a brain?" asked Venice.
((Solon has a brain?))
Jas pulls her weapon out the ground, and stands back up. "Friggin' ninny ass move," more cuss words are mumbled before she looks around.
((Jas & Sh0rTi = sexier than Solon. Do we need to have this discussion again?))
((wat))
"Yes, he does." Mira said, annoyed, and did not catch the joke.
((ololololol))
Harver ran over to Solon. "Dammit Solon, what have you gotten yourself into this time?"
(( ...SOLON HAS A BRAIN... ...Everyone look! JAS IS OBLIVIOUS! ))
..., Solon would have glared at Venice, he just hoped Zaronn would do it for him. Wait... I think I have the solutions to my problems. I might be able to... But I still can't get Zaronn out of me completely without...

Jas once again casts Holy on the Zaronn-possessed Solon. She lets the white energy spheres bombard down on him without making a sound.
((g2g))
Zarani stood watching them all. "Well, mates. Glad to see you're all having so much fun playing around. In case you haven't clued in, we are trying to kill these guys." He pointed at Solon. "Right now, even him." He stabbed his hand into his eyesocket of the blood and and grabbed it.
"Oh hey, I don't suppose you could spare me some ammo, could you?"
"Urgh... No, mate." He said pulling. The eye ripped out of his head with a gut-wrenching splat and exploded into a huge amount of blood. The blood began to swirl around Zarani, until it came to a stop. Zarani had giant red angel's wings, and a mask made of blood that covered his mouth and nose. His eyesocket was empty, and the pupil of the other socket had turned a glowing red. "More... Power..." His arms were encased in a layer of hardened blood, with long bloody blades sticking out of them. "Give me more... Power..." He began to walk slowly forward, the blood swirling around him. "If I become a demon... So be it... I shall endure the exile... Anything... To destroy you and protect Keisha!"
((...Bleh. I felt the protect Keisha part was necessary to stop him from going psycho...))
"Very well. I can give you some power, but if you tried anything I did, you could injure yourself. Do you want me to create that mix? I have ingredients for one more."
(( Joeofmars is sexiest... man... I really wanna get back in this but I'm so lost. LOL >_> ))
((Time to take you down with Z!))
Hanz? cursed to his failure but quickly dodged the bullets. Hanz? then called out,
"Z! I know it was you, now you have to help me on this!" With that a 30-35 year old man in white robes and a peacock fan emerged in a flash of light.
"It ends now!" Z shouted as he fired 3 beams of light towards M.R.

Harver pulled out his blade, and got into a defensive stance. Now Zarani's gone crazy? What the hell is going on here?

((Makes sense)).
"Make it..." Zarani replied to Mira.
((Wait... Riolo died? Dammit. >>))
((-_-;))
'Putting yourself through that for me...?' Keisha grips her sword tighter. "Zarani!" Don't... don't do anything stupid, got it!"
"Very well." Mira took out his equipment from before and make the same potion Mira used to increase his energy by a lot. "Be careful with fighting once you drink this." Mira walked over to Zarani and gave him the potion.
The many pieces of Mage Riolo began to shake uncontrollably. Next second, they all jumped up into the air and spun around together. A faint laughter could be heard. Suddenly, there was a roar and all the pieces combined, re-forming Mage Riolo.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" he roared with laughter. How many is that? My 5th life destroyed? Hm... I'm getting closer... "Who wants some ass kicking?" Ah, the power... It's as if I've been reborn to the prime of my life. I can never get used to the feeling.
---
Holy poop! What, does he have 9 lives or something!? Solon thought frantically. Ugh... I need to get out of here... Focus...
"How is this bastard like a cat?" Z shouted.
"You know what, screw this. Why don't we just blow up the place, then escape through a portal?"
"For once, ninja boy speaks sense!" Hanz? said.
"Says the dumbass who thinks his clan is the best clan in the world because they share the same fate as most ninjas do. I've been speaking sense longer than you ever have." Mira said, annoyed.
"Hey! I never said my clan was the best, who even said that I liked it!" Hanz? retorted.
"You want to see this place blow up?" asked Mage Riolo with a malicious grin. "Then so be it." The cave began to shake rapidly, the water was once again shooting out of the hole, and rocks began to fall from the ceiling. "See you in hell." Mage Riolo disappeared from the lair as the place began to fall apart even more rapidly.
"Oh well, if a portal is created and we escape, at least the battle would be post-poned. Anyways, you suggested that very strongly when you talked about your clan. By the way, you retort was irrelevant to my statement."
"Who cares?! Lets just get out of here while we can!"
"We need someone to open a portal."
Zaronn smirked as he created a portal and escaped and then closed the portal before anybody else could go through. He teleported to where Mage Riolo had teleported to. "Mage Riolo..." The dark sword reformed into a spiked ball and chain. "Die when I kill you!" He then flung the ball at M.R. and got ready to pull it back with the chain.
"That lazy son of a ninny. If he wanted us dead, he would kill us himself, but save us to do so. What gives?"
"Son of a mutha-" Jas gets cut off as she starts destroying rocks falling towards her with her fire magic.
"Yeah, this is reeaally starting to piss me off," Keisha growls and stands back to back with Jas.
Mage Riolo had teleported on the top of the biggest mountain in Vulcum, Mt. Lus. He jumped over the ball and chain and shot electricity at the metal to send the electricity flowing through the metal at Zaronn. "Hmph. Know that I can not die."
---
...Shit... I'm afraid of heights, Solon thought sadly as he watched the fight helplessly.
"Can either of you two crate portals?"
"That means nothing to me." Zaronn said making the ball and chain dissappear since it was only a manifest of his evil. He then formed a bow and arrow from his evil and started firing arrows at M.R.
"It does if you're trying to kill me," Mage Riolo replied with a deep laugh. He became transparent, allowing the arrows to fly through him. His transparency ended early, though, and one arrow shot into his shoulder. He winced, but pulled it out and flung that arrow and many more duplicates back at Zaronn.
"If you cannot die then I will make sure you will suffer pain for the rest of your life." Zaronn said jumping up and avoiding the arrows before creating a spear and throwing it at Mage Riolo.
The spear was hard to dodge, and ended up knicking Mage Riolo's cheeck. "I feel no pain," Mage Riolo said. "You're doing a bad job." He sent a shock wave at Zaronn next.
Zaronn landed back on the ground and braced himself for the impact. "Pain is not a factor for me too for this isn't my body." He then recreated the ball and chain and threw it at Mage Riolo.
Mage Riolo side-stepped the ball and grabbed the chain. He yanked it to send Zaronn flying toward him.
"Well this sucks," said Venice, stepping out of the way of a rock that was about to crush him.
Zaronn used the darkness from the chain to form claws on his hand and as he came toward Mage Riolo, he slashed at him with it.
One of the claws hit Mage Riolo's cheeck, but he ducked down and kicked up at Zaronn from below. "We'll see now who the better villain is," Mage Riolo growled. "Though the answer is clear: Me!"
"You couldn't be more wrong if you tried!" Zaronn said as he was kicked up into the air. Once he reached the pinacle of rising up, he started making orbs of darkness rain down as they exploded on contact with the ground.
Mage Riolo appeared above Zaronn and the orbs of darkness and kicked him back down.
Zaronn grabs Solon's hookshot and engulfs it in darkness before firing it at Mage Riolo in hopes of it to latch onto him.
The hookshot grabbed Mage Riolo's shirt but only ripped part of it off. "Hey, that's new!" yelled Mage Riolo before firing a burst of flames at Zaronn.
Zaronn put the hookshot away. worthless peice of crap! He then countered the flames by shooting flames of darkness to cancel the two attacks out. He then sprouted black wings from the darkness and flew up to M.R. and slashed at him again with his claws.
This time MR got claws of his own and slashed back, fighting claws with claws.
Zaronn swiped low with his other hand and then flew back before sending an orb of darkness at Mage Riolo.
Harver felt a bit of his strength return, and he created a portal. He tried to hold it open. "Everyone, get inside!!" He shouted. "This will lead you back to the Land of Emit."
Mira took a deep breath in and ran towards the portal, tripping up right has he was close to the portal.
Lanbar and Tanbar ran through the portal but Lanbar pushed Tanbar back to get through the portal first. "Older brother first!"
"You were only born a couple of minutes ahead of me! We're twins!" Tanbar said running in after Lanbar.
"All this for nothing," Jas and Keisha run through the portal. "Hm..."
Venice walked into the portal at a leisurely pace.
Zarani looked at the portal, then shrugged. "I'm too full of myself to not make my own portal, mate." He said, waving his hand to create a portal.
((Wait a minute? Did you just teleport to where Zaronn and Mage Riolo were fighting? because they had teleported out of the cave and onto the tallest mountain on Vulcum to fight.))

Mage Riolo went flying at Zaronn's attack. But he was able to re-situate himself halfway through and land on his feet. He sent a beam of fire at Zaronn. He had a cut all down his back.
((Zarani says that Jas and Keisha's actors should be switched. Just cuz.))

((OMG No MJ as Harver, and no Queen Latifah as Kei, okay! X.x I'd say Beyonc? as Kei and Aaliyah or Ciara as Jas. And I made my chars with a dollmaker, then edited with GIMP... Jack Black = Lanbar & Tanbar! XD))
Jas and Keisha look around from on top of a cliff. (Let's just say they ended up there. >.>))
Zaronn changed the claws on his hand into a shichipoopo and blocked the pillar but the outer sides of his arms were scorched by the flames. He then went flying down at M.R. and tried to stab him with it.
((For those who don't know what it looks like...which I assume would probably be everybody, a shichipoopo looks like this. (http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h123/picturize/shich.jpg)))

Rain began falling in a very dramatic motion. Mage Riolo jumped back from Zaronn's attack and used the water to create a cyclone, which he then sent at Zaronn.

INUYASHA'S A CAT!))
((Yeah...anime might be okay...But with Solon's spiky blonde hair...that would mean that the voice of Naruto would have to do him! :O X.x And congrats on the rank up BoA and T_L))
Zaronn jumped into the cyclone to be lifted up and then once he was high enough, he jumped out of it and started falling straight down toward M.R. with his shichis***o pointed at him.
(( ...Doesn't Naruto sound like a girl O.o x.x ? ))
Mage Riolo fell back, but got stabbed in the leg. "ARGH! You... Will... Pay!" Mage Riolo shouted before jumped up to enclose his fists around Zaronn's neck, completely forgetting about weapons in his rage.
((Not really, BOA.... And thanks DH2.))
Zaronn lifted up the sword and did a vertical slash at Mage Riolo's head to get M.R. off of him.
((*Kicks T_L where it hurts* InuYasha is not a cat! And you have no idea of what T_L?))

And how do you know Inu... whatever isn't a cat? Sure looks like one...))
Mage Riolo side stepped to the back of Zaronn, clenching his neck even tighter. "You... Will... Die..." he whispered angrily.

((Doesn't getting kicked anywhere hurt? It just hurts more in some places... And what are you talking about?))
The blade dissappeared into Zaronn's body and the seven points that were on the sword sprang out of Zaronn's body, two on his hands, two on the side of his arms, two out of his neck, and one final spike out of the top of his head. "Oh contrair, it shall be you who will die." With that, he reached at Mage Riolo with both his hands, spike pointed toward M.R. and went for his head.
The spikes cut deep into Mage Riolo's ears, tearing into him. He let go and tumbled back, eyes bleeding in pain. "I shan't lose," he gasped, covering his ears as they bled.
The spikes sunk back into his body as he smirked and the shichipoopo reappeared in his hands. "But there is a problem with that." Zaronn said running toward Mage Riolo. "I NEVER lose!" He then made a slash at M.R.'s chest.
((@BoA: In the manga and anime, it says he's a dog, and if you read/watch, you see many dog-like characteristics.
@T_L: Nvm... -_-))
(( ...Does he lick is butt clean or something? ))
"No, no wait," gasped Mage Riolo, rolling away from the attack. "Please... Zaronn... Please... I... I... I am your father. I'm so proud of you, son. You've become such a ruthless leader, just as I would have brought you up. Please, don't kill your daddy, your dada... Please, spare me and I will rule underneath you. Please, son..."
((No :| ))
Mira sighed. "It's a shame we couldn't kill him, but what least I have more time to heal."

((Two things.
1. No, he does not.
2. WTF?! "I am your father"?! O.O >_> :| :robotindifferent:
"Hmph." The blade disappeared back into his body as he just looked at Mage Riolo. "I'll just leave you here to blead to death 'father'" He said saying 'father' sarcastically. "You're not worth this much trouble as to finish you off." He said as he teleported away and to the land of Emit.
(( Two things.

Great... Now we're in Emit? Solon thought. What is he going to do here? Unless... This is where everyone else must be, and he wants to get the other gems! God darn it, Zaronn. You're supposed to tell me when you change plans. It's the least you can do since we're sharing the same darn body!

Or maybe they were one of the good guys who survived. Can't remember...

((Good... And I g2g peoples night!))
Zaronn looked around for the others. Well...for an idiot who falls down all holes within a mile radius of you, you figured it out fairly quickly. Too bad you can't do anything about it.
Then, the portal that Harver created appeared and Lanbar came out, shortly followed my Tanbar. "SO what if it's only by a few minutes. I'm still technically the older brother." Lanbar said proud of himself.
"But we're still twins! As in we're the same number of years older on the same day!" Tanbar said.
Zaronn just watched the two for a few seconds. "...Ahem."
"Still, I was still born FIRST thus, I am the older brother!" Lanbar said ignoring Zaronn.
"But that's not important! We're twins as in WE'RE THE SAME FLIPPIN' AGE!" Tanbar said.
"...Ahem!" Zaronn got louder but the two continued arguing. "Hello? do you not see me over here!?" He said angrilly making the ball and chain appear in his hand.
"Oh, hey Solo-...Oh wait, That's right." Lanbar said as Zaronn chucked the ball at Lanbar. "You're possesed by Zaro-OH MY GOD!" He shouted before ducking under the ball and then jumping out of the way as Zaronn pulled it back.
((Uhh... Dr.H? That portal specifically led to the Land of Emit, not to the mountain. I thought I specified that. >_< Oh, and about the voice acting things... I don't know much about Japanese voice acting, but for the "American version", Vic Mignogna is totally Harver!! =D ))
Harver made sure everyone got through the portal before looking at it. Just as he was about to step through, it disappeared. What... No! Dammit!! The walls continued to crumble around him. Harver... take the last of my power. Let us meet again in the afterlife.
Harver felt a surge of power go through him. No! Emit? No response. He looked down at his hands, and clenched them. We'll meet again... someday. And so we go. He teleported from the chamber.
Venice stared at this.... encounter for several moments, considering whether or not he should help the twins.
Nah, they can handle themselves. he thought.
((Yeah...and I'm sure in my post I specified that Zaronn teleported to the land of Emit where the others were going to appear.
((Sorry, must have missed that. .__.;; ))
Harver reappeared at the Land of Emit's docking area, and saw the rest awhile off. He began to walk up to them.
Zaronn looked over in Harver's direction and saw him far off. He then reformed his weapon into a bow and arrow and fired a single shot at Harver with extreme accuracy.
Harver subconsciously teleported out of the path of the arrow, and reappeared behind Zaronn. What the...? This power...!
Zaronn swung around with his weapon now transformed into a shichipoopo and slashed at Harver's mid-body.
Harver pulled out his sword and blocked Zaronn's attack.
((Is Zaronn still using Solon's body?))
((Yep.))
Zaronn made his weapon disappear and he threw an orb of darkness at Harver.
Harver snapped his fingers, and a wall of flames surrounded him.
Zaronn then formed dark flames in his hand and tossed it up to cancel out the pillar of flames.
Harver watched as his wall fell. ((You darn Mongolians tear down my city wall!)) "You're obviously not Solon."
"That's right. Solon isn't in control of this body now and he never will be." Zaronn said giving an evil smirk as the ball and chain reappeared and flung the ball at Harver. "Only I, Zaronn, will control this body now!"
"Somehow, I can't believe that," Harver said, running out of the way of Zaronn's attack. "The Solon I know is stronger than that. He won't give up that easily." Plus, he owes me money!
((Remember, when they first met at Emit? XD))
((lol, good memory. XD))
Zaronn pulled the ball back with the chain and threw it back at Harver again. "Hmph. I don't think that will be happening."
"And what makes you so confident?" Harver asked, deflecting the ball with his sword.
"Because Solon is just a weak little pawn who managed to get a bunch of idiots together for a pointless task of stopping the Dead Men." Zaronn said changing the ball and chain back into the shichipoopo and charging at Harver and giving a swing.
(( Money, uh, what money? *runs away* ))
Solon's face turned red with anger, and so did the face of Zaronn. Hey, I managed to get my emotions onto Zaronn's face... I know I may just be a floating spirit, but if Harver thinks I can do this, then maybe I can. I just need to get really angry... Yes, that must be the key!
"Which he succeeded in, save for you and me," Harver noted. He blocked the attack, but also felt a twinge of pain in his left shoulder. Urgh... oh yeah, the wound from my earlier battle against Solon. I have to play more conervatively.
Zarani stepped out of his portal to come a few feet away from Zaronn and Harver. He watched them for a few moments, then turned around and began to walk back through the portal, only to run into a wall the portal was at before. "Dammit..." He said, turning around and drawing his cutlass.
((... I got right?))
((omg can't help but to say this... I'm pretty much horrified now.))
Jas and Keisha stand their ground, watching the fight for now. ((Zaron went and found the group, right?))
(( Yeah, he found them... And what are you freaked out about? ))
((Horrified at how easily my friends became 95% sure they know who I like... *Eye twitch* Waiting to see if they can figure out the last name, so there's still hope for me...))
Jas puts herself into a fighting stance, getting ready to charge instead of using her magic.
((Jas is gonna kick ass... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sdj2pqLjl_0))
Venice sat in the corner and fell asleep.
(( XD. Maybe Jas is oblivious, but apparently Shorti is obvious. ))
((What!? How was I supposed to know that the question "Is he in band?" would be deadly?))

"Now I'll admit that he did managae to do that." He said taking back the sword and gave a low swing at Harver's legs. "But it only made my job easier." He said with an evil smirk.
Harver jumped over Zaronn's attack, and countered with a vertical slice, forgetting that he was using Solon's body.
Zaronn brought up his sword to block the vertical slash. "Harver, don't forget who you're really hurting." He then jumped back, changed his weapon to a bow and fired five arrows at Harver at once.
((So what happened while I was gone?))
Jas lunges into the fight, slashing at Zaronn with her right blade. "He'll remember, but I won't hold back!" She follows with a kick aimed at the shins.
Harver teleported, but one of the arrows sank into his left arm before he got away. He reappeared a few yards away from Zaronn, his left arm hanging limp. He grunted as he tore the arrow out of his arm. Damn!! I can't move that arm anymore... He shifted his weight so that he had more of an advantage on his right side. He then rushed at Zaronn, following up Jas's attacks with a diagonal slash.
Zaronn didn't have time to react to the first attaqck so he got a deep cut on his arm but he jumped up over the kick. "Insolent pest!" Zaronn formed a dark orb in each hand and threw them at Jas. He then teleported high above the two avoiding Harver's attack. The same dark wings that he used when fighting Mage Riolo appeared. He then created a dozen of the dark orbs and started to rain them down on Jas and Harver, one by one.
((...Guessing that M.R. now has an ally, wanna make sure before I attack.))
Mira tried to offset the energy in a way that would lead Zaronn over to his location.
((@ Wolf: Well...Zaronn's definitely the bad guy you want to attack if that's what your asking. ::)
@ Person:...Wha?))
((Mage Riolo is somewhere on a mountain. Zaronn is by no means on his side.))
Harver quickly sheathed his blade and snapped his fingers, sending a dozen flame spheres at Zaronn's dark orbs.
((M.R.'s pretty much friggin' dead on a mountain.))
"Damn," Jas rolls to the side, rebounds up, then starts dodging the dark energy.
Keisha jumps into the air towards Zaronn, slashing in his direction with her katana. Her signature blue flames, waves of them rush at him.
((g2g))
Zaronn forms a sheild from the dark energy to block Keisha's attack. He then flew back down to the ground but stayed hovering a few inches off the ground. He then recreated the shichipoopo with the dark energy and flew at Harver but instead of slashing at him, he teleports right behind Harver and then slices at his back.
((Mira's not to confident about the wound to his gut. Even if he is ok now, he cannot get too active, so he's doing this the lazy way)).

((That's what screwed me over... Of course, it was Is she in band... And we were on a band trip.))
Gah, my body! They're going to end up all killing me... Well, at least Zaronn will be gone as well... Solon thought, though he was hoping to live long enough to execute his own plan.
---
Mage Riolo sat on the top of Mt. Lus in Nimbuslus Land, regaining energy. His ears were almost completely torn off, though, leaving him deaf.
((Who tore off his ears? Mike Tyson? 0.0 Oh, and Jas tried using that Holy spell again, a while back, but nobody reacted. XP))
Jas sends a lightning spell at the shichipoopo, attempting to knock it off track. She starts casting more of the thunder at Zaronn.
((That's right, Zaronn used a Mike Tyson summon and attacked M.R. >_>; ))
The blade was deflected but Zaronn reacted to the other thunder bolts by redirected it back at Jas.
Well I effectively useless. Mira took a nap.
Venice and Mira are easy targets right now, speculated Solon. They're both napping, plus I think Mira might still be hurt from that previous gut slice Mage Riolo used on him...
Harver prepared to deflect the first attack, but was confused when Zaronn teleported behind him. The slice hit his back, and blood began to pour out. Dammit!! I can't go on much longer like this...
Heh, you just keep thinking like that and I'll have all your friends killed. Zaronn smirked as he created two dark orbs and threw them at Mira and Venice.
Mira rolled over for more comfort.
Shit... I forgot we shared a brain... Solon thought.
---
Mage Riolo stood up from the spot, semi-charged up. He was strong enough to fight, and teleported right behind Zaronn. He shot a dark orb the size of Zaronn/Solon's head right at his back.
Zaronn was hit with the full force of the attack and fell down. "Urk..." He pushed himself back up, even though he couldn't feel the pain of Solon's body, he knew that his body wouldn't b able to take another direct hit like that. "You...you don't know when to die!" Now the darkness that had formed his weapons started to circle around him and became a dark aura around him. "But this time I will make sure you're dead!" He then shot a blast of darkness at Mage Riolo.
Mage Riolo teleported away from the shot, landing on the other side of Zaronn. He couldn't hear what he had said, but was smiling devilishly because he knew his attack hurt. "I'll make you pay for what you've done to me," he whispered, referring to his lost ears. "First things first... I shall gouge out your eyes!" His plan was not to kill Zaronn, but to get rid of every sense he owned. Like Helen Keller, but in a bloody mess of a way >.>;;.
Mage Riolo ran forward, taking out two small knifes, teleported a few milimeters from Zaronn's face and stabbed the knives at his eyes.
(( Whoo for epic tragedies that always involve gouging out eyeballs! ))
Zaronn leaned back with the dark aura giving him enhanced senses, reactions, and agility to nearly avoid the two knives. He then teleported behind M.R. and unleashed a flurry of punches with each punch sending out a blast of darkness to add range to his attacks.
Mage Riolo fell forward and skid for a 20 feet. He almost went off the cliff and into the trecherous water below, but he grabbed the cliffside and pulled himself back up quickly. He sent another giant black orb at Zaronn, staying where he was.
((LS...
QuoteThe blade was deflected
In other words, Harver wouldn't be hit. =P))
Jas moves from side to side to get away from the lightning, but one of them grazes her arm. The rest she takes back into her blade.
((Oedipus Trilogy. XD))
Zaronn sent a dark blast to counter the orb and once the orb was destroyed, he continued to blast at M.R.
"You can't kill me," raged Mage Riolo. "You couldn't squash a fly. As for me, millions have died at my feet. My name is Mage Riolo, you tore my ears, prepare to die."
(( Alright, that was my final reference to a movie/book/etc... I swear! ))
"Millions? Ha!" Zaronn started despite the fact that Mage Riolo couldn't hear him. "A meer speck compared to all those that I have killed, assassinated, mudered, destroyed! Even when I was young and in the Scalan Army, I still killed. Those first two I killed to get the Crescent Gem. If I had killed their son too, then I would have the Crescent Gem then. That was the only flaw in my plan, letting Solon live!" With that, he started running at Mage Riolo.
(( Why does that remind me of something else... ))
Obviously Mage Riolo couldn't hear him. But Mage Riolo read his expression and got the fact that he was going on and on about people he had previously killed. Mage Riolo tried charging a shot to fire at Zaronn, but realized with dismay he was out of power from the last attack. Frantically he tried getting energy back, but he was too afraid of the coming blow to concentrate well enough. He was only inches from the cliff, if he planned wrong he would be sent over.
---
What? It was you! But, Steph said he did- Or he just took the credit for the job so the higher ranks would give him a better rank! Zaronn... You'll pay for this! Solon concentrated fully, his rage consuming him. He felt like the world paused, then he realized the world was moving from the blurry image of watching from within his soul to the full color view. "I'm free!" Solon shouted, knowing it was only temporarily.
Solon continued running at Mage Riolo with his sword out. Mage Riolo attempted to side step the attack, as Solon went over the edge. Holy poop! There was an edge here!? I can't believe it... I'm going to die the same way I lived... Falling down holes... Solon reached out with a hand and grabbed onto Mage Riolo's arm, bringing him down into the water below with him.
Venice conveniently woke up and dodged the attack from Zaronn. How convenient.
What the...you took back over? But that's impossible! I knew letting you live was a mistake! Zaronn watched from inside as Solon tumbled off the cliff taking M.R. with him.
"...Idiot," muttered Venice to himself, walking over to the edge. "Well, at least they have a miniscule chance of survival. Even more if Solon uses his grappling hook. Or if Harver freezes time..."
((Ok, we all wanted to see the end... But like that? Poor Solon... X.x Maybe it's not the end?))
"Damn," Keisha looks back to see Solon falling. "Does he always do things like that!?"
"Yeah, he does," Jas shakes her head. "Or did... Hmmgh," she starts listening to the waves below, concentrating on them. 'Or if I can use the water...'
"Za... Warudo..." Mira said randomly in his sleep.
(( It looks like giant black darkness orbs headed right for him really wakes Venice up. How convenient :P ))
Mage Riolo was clutching onto Solon and screaming bloody murder for his life. "Get the fu-" Solon started to stay but stopped as Mage Riolo covered his mouth as he tried to hold on to him for balance. Solon angrily kicked Mage Riolo right in his groin, which made Mage Riolo release his grip. Solon took out his grappling hook and threw it up. But Mage Riolo had made him waste too much time and he plummeted into the water below. His last view of life above sea level was Venice looking down at him and Mage Riolo hitting a rock and slipping into the raging water below as well.
"That looked painful," commented Venice somberly. "There goes Solon..."
Mira shuddered after that happened.
Solon began to sink farther down the water. He felt paralyzed and unable to move. But with the last of his powers he attempted to swim back up, only using his hands because his feet could not move. The top of his face broke the surface, but he fell back into the water again. Solon was a good swimmer (yes, he actually is good at something) and was able to finally get his head out of the water. He realized how far away from Emit the current had already taken him. He knew he would be sucked into the Whirl Channel soon if he didn't petal, so he used the rest of his strength to get closer to shore, where he could stand.
He finally made it to the dock where they had first entered Emit, Tanbar's boat was still there. He dragged himself out using only his hands and pulled himself onto shore. Zaronn... If you had killed me to begin with, you would have died, as well. It was either shelter inside me or die, Solon thought. He wasn't sure if he was going to live or these were his last moments before death, though he felt like it was the latter.
Mira relaxed once Solon made it to shore.
"Well..." said Venice uncomfortably. "I guess we should head back to the ship... There's nothing for us here. Zaronn and Riolo probably died with Solon."
"My spidey senses are tingling." Mira said unconsciously.
Ha! I would have simply used a different body...This...this is all your fault! He took control of the body once again and trudged his way back to where the others were. Before he could say anything, his hand clutched his chest. He knew very well that he was going to die. "...No......No!" He shouted with anger in his voice. "How could this happen to me!?" He increased in anger with every word he said. "My plan...It was perfect! Perfect! I had everything planned out. How I joined the Scalan army so I could kill those I needed to without being questioned by others. How I assassinated those in the ranks above me so I could eventually kill my way up to become leader of the Scalan Army. I could then travel the lands trying to gather the gems, killing those that I needed to without anybody suspecting anything of my evil ambitions. How I joined the Dead Men to gain this power...power that I could eventually use to turn on the Dead Men and rule the continent of Slander, nay, I would rule the entire planet! I had everything planned out from the beginning. There were no flaws! But...there was you...You!" Now his voice was more demonic than it ever was. "It was all your fault! If only I had killed you when I killed your parents..." He stopped, breathing heavily. He had now fallen onto his knees with death looming over him. "It's...all...your...FAULT! So.......................lon..........So...lon.....................................
SSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. This final yell contained anger, despise, and all other emotions of the hatred color spectrum ranging from ultra-violent to infra-dead. It was so loud and full of hatred that if Satan was there to hear it, he would piss his pants. With that, Zaronn's soul faded away, dead, never to reek his pandemonium on Vulcum ever again.
Mira shuddered a bit when Zaronn's soul faded away.
Solon shuddered and fell to his knees as he felt Zaronn's soul pass through him. He blinked for a moment, before wheeling around and rapidly vomitting. After several moments he turned back around and shook his head to get his vision cleared. "Hey... We did it... We've got all the gems and the Dead Men are destroyed..." Solon cheered weakly.
Lanbar and Tanbar ran over just in time to hear Zaronn's death speech and had the chills after hearing it. "Yeah...I suppose we did do it." Lanbar said with a weak smile.
"I can't believe that Zaronn had it all planned out from the beginning..." Tanbar said. "And that he killed your parents."
"That was rather disturbing..." commented Venice.
Mira woke up. "What did I miss?"
"... Why do they gotta run they darn mouth before they poof away?" Jas asks, shaking her head. She looks at Solon. "What about you? You're... okay for now?"
"Yeah, Zaronn sure let your body get beat up." Lanbar said looking at all the wounds.
"Hey Jas, myabe you can use your magic to help him." Tanbar commented.
"If she cannot use her magic for whatever reason, I can treat some wounds. I cannot make any more potions, but I can still treat some wounds."
"I'm fine..." Solon muttered before taking a moment to cough up some water. He used a tree to help him up and leaned against it. At least I finally got my revenge... That's what I started all this for.
"Didn't I tell you guys I can't heal?" Jas glances at one of her own wounds for a moment.
Keisha sheaths her katana, seeing no reason for it being drawn. "I think we should get on the ship first, out of the open. You ever know..."
"That's true."
((Can every injured character describe their injuries?))
"Yeah, we should get him to the ship." Tanbar said also walking over to Solon. "There's also some bandages we can get there." Tanbar and Lanbar got on each side of Solon.
"Hey, do you need help getting to the ship?" Lanbar asked.
Zarani stood by the sea, watching them all. The blood had made a full armor on him, with spikes all across it on the shoulders and other joints. He limped over to Solon and held his cutlass up to his throat. "So, mate. Now that you're done, I'll be taking those gems." He said, holding out his other hand.
Harver walked up to Solon. "Well done," he said, smiling. He then turned to Zarani. "Don't be an idiot. We have to destroy the gems, otherwise the same pandemonium will break out again."

Harver walked up to Solon. "Well done," he said, smiling. He then turned to Zarani. "Don't be an idiot. We have to destroy the gems, otherwise the same pandemonium will break out again."
Zarani grinned under the mask. "
Of course, mate." He said, turning to face him. The blood armor vanished instantly, leaving Zarani with two normal eyes. He held the cutlass up to Harver this time, aiming his pistol at Solon. "
But I'll still be needing those gems."
((Ok, I'm guessing the adventure's over and now we are deciding what to do with the gems.))
Hanz? walked over to Z.
"So where did you come from?"
Z didn't answer, he seemed focused on Zarani.
Solon knew that if anyone besides him touched the Crescent Gem, they would die. He blinked and looked down at the blue crescent shaped gem before handing it to Zarani. "The lust for power has dire consequences for those who endear it," Solon warned.
Z's eyes widened in fear and flinged his fan at the gem, trying to knock it away from Zarani.
"Don't let him have it!"
"Thank you Captain Obvious. Now make yourself useful and help me deal with the patients." Mira said to ((Z?)).
"That was about the stupidest," Jas doesn't bothering finishing the sentence, and sighs heavily instead.
"Zarani," Keisha says in a warning tone. "What the hell are you tryin' to pull?"
Zarani held his hand back slightly. "Hm... Well, you keep it then. I get half of what you get for it though." He said, slinging the pistol over his shoulder and sheathing the cutlass. "Pirate." He said, point at himself.
"Well, if the bad guys not coming back from the dead, then I'm outta here," said Venice, walking away. Of course, over the whole Solon is gone thing, everyone seemed to forget the Cloud and Scalander Gems he had. He was counting on everyone being too preoccupied to remember.
((Gotta love the 'pirate' excuse. XP))
"How exactly are we gonna split the gems in half in the first place?" Jas asks, folding her arms. She aims a fire spell right in front of Venice.
'Go figure,' Keisha smirks a bit, rolling her eyes slightly.
"Thief," said Venice, pointing at himself and stealing Zarani's excuse.
"Nobody goes until we sort this thing out!" Hanz? concluded.
"I say that we destroy all of them so nobody can use this for evil purposes." Z suggested.
"That's what we're going to do," Solon replied, aiming a look at Z, who we did not recognize. "I'm not exactly sure how to do it, but all the gems need to be together. In a circle, with the Scalander Gem in the middle," instructed Solon, trying to remember.
Jas makes flames erupt dangerously close to Venice. "Ninja who will neuter you," she says pointing at herself.
Venice frowned. "Destroy the gems? Do we have to?"
"Hey, I'm fine with destroying the gems." Lanbar said. "Just as long as I get my rum!"
"Yes!" Jas and Keisha simultaneously yell. "We do!"
"I don't wanna go through this again, and I'm sure nobody else wants to either," Jas adds.
"Yeah, sure, now is everyone ok?"
"No, I guess we don- Yes we have to!" Solon snapped, clutching his own gem even tighter. "Did you see what happened when the Dead Men took control of them? Bad things. History repeats itself. This same thing will happen again if we don't destry them."
"Destroy your's last, just as a safety precaution."
"Fine, fine," conceded Venice. He took out the Scalander Gem and tossed it. However, instead of going to Jas, the gem flew past her toward Zarani. After that, he ran, faster than ever with the Cloud Gem.
"Stupid little poop," Jas takes off, running after Venice. "Shoulda just intercourse in' killed you..." She's tired, angry, and simply isn't going to take any more bull as of now. Jas casts Haste on herself multiple times to boost her speed.
"Such vicious words, Jas," taunted Venice, continuing to run. He had every intention of giving Jas hell before he escaped.
If he escaped. Jas slashes her blades rapidly, casting multiple fire and lightning spells at the fleeing thief.
Venice managed to escape most of the attacks, but a thunderbolt clipped his shoulder, causing him to stumble to the ground momentarily. He recovered in seconds and dashed away, toward the nearest town.
((g2g))
((K, bye.))
Zarani grabbed the gem out of the air and sprinted the opposite direction of Venice. "Well done Venice. There shall be a promotion and wenches in this for you if we make it alive." He yelled back towards him.
When did I become Zarani's employee? Venice asked himself as he ran. Oh, right. Now I remember. But I'm good with the wenches part.
"This is getting stupid!" Jas continues giving herself more speed, and eventually catches up to Venice.
(( Looks like this won't end as early as I was hoping it would ...>.>... ))
Solon was too weak to chase after Zarani, but he cursed loudly in anger. "If I get near Zarani or Venice ever again, I'll intercourse ing kill them," Solon swore to himself, seething with anger. He limped over to Mira who he knew could heal him.
"Quick, could you heal me? My legs are weak, they feel like they're asleep from the fall into the water, I've got a deep cut in my shoulder and my right hand may be broken... But that's all I can see that's wrong with me as of right now. Could you fix it quick so I can go after the intercourse ers who stole the gems?" he asked Mira.
"Sure, I'll see what I can do. I shall start with the easiest procedure." Mira rubbed his hands together and started using his hands and a lot of pressure to massage Solon's legs. "This should restore your legs." Mira said, as he transfered some extra energy to Solon's legs while massaging. "Do you legs feel any better?" Mira asked, as he continued to transfer his energy to Solon's legs while he continued to massage Solon's legs.
((I want to wait for a response before I make Mira continue with the other procedures)).
Solon did notice the strength returning in his legs, and he slowly walked around without much of a limp. "Wow, they do!" he exclaimed. "Thanks, what else can you do?"
"That depends. Can you move the fingers in your right hand?" Mira asked, determining how he should handle Solon's right arm.
"I can move the fingers slightly, but I can't bend the wrist," Solon replied, moving his fingers a milimeter at a time. "The hit must have cracked bone."
"As long as your fingers are ok, that's effectively all that matters." Mira said, as he took out his metal surface, used his energy to cut it to sufficient size, and took out a roll a cloth, waiting for a response.
Venice glanced back at Jas and took out the Cloud Gem, using it to increase his speed more.
"Are you going to heal my hand with that?" Solon asked, stretching his injured hand out toward Mira.
"Yes. Can you fight without moving your wrist?" Mira said while putting the metal surface on the back side of the wrist. He then used the cloth to tie the metal surface onto the injured hand. Mira tied the cloth up tight enough to keep the metal surface in place and tight enough to keep the metacarpals in place, as to allow them to heal properly. He then transfered some energy to Solon's right hand, as to speed up the healing process. "You can't use your right wrist, but you should still be able to hold a weapon in your right hand. Also, you fingers should have increase mobility. Now how is your cut?"
"It'll be hard to fight without using my wrist," Solon replied. "But I guess I'll manage..." He inspected the cut on his shoulder. It was a deep gash going from the left side of his back up his left shoulder then down to his chest. It was deepest at the shoulder blade and made it hard to move without excessive pain.
"Bad," was Solon's analysis.
Mira used some of his energy to numb Solon's injured shoulder. Then use took out the same metal wire as before and used it to sew up Solon's cut. He then used some of the cloth to clean Solon's wound. Then used some more cloth to wrap up Solon's injured shoulder. Mira finally used some energy to speed up the healing process and produce a strange feeling until everything is connected properly. "When that feeling goes away, you can remove the wrap around your shoulder. You hand, however, may end up healing long after we are done with this whole thing, but shorter than six weeks."
"Thanks," Solon replied, showing his gratitude. He rubbed his shoulder, not quite used to the tingling sensation he was feeling in it. As for his hand, he just hoped he'd be able to kick both Zarani's and Venice's asses with it. "Now to deal with them," he growled, dark fury in his eyes. It seemed that a small part of Zaronn would always reside in Solon's soul as the blood thirsty hunger it had always been. He took out his Crescent Gem and ran after Zarani.
Mira nod his head as to answer Solon's thanks. "Anyone else?" Mira asked his allies.
Zarani looked over his shoulder. "Ah, Solon! Glad to see you're feeling better." He said, sprinting away still.
Mira sighed, then transfered a constant flow of energy to his gut. I think I can still operate with the wire within me, but I should remove it once I get back home. But for now, I should wait until I feel healed enough to dash to their location.
Solon just used the Crescent Gem to make all the area within a mile radius total darkness. Only Solon could see clearly. He took out his sword and ran faster still at Zarani, slashing at his back with his sword.
Harver saw Solon just as everything went dark. "What the..?"
"H-hey! I can't see." Lanbar said stumbling around in the darkness.
"Neither can I!" Said Tanbar. Eventually, a thunk could be heard.
"Ow!" they both said simultaneously holding their heads.
"Why'd you hit me in the head?" Lanbar said.
"No, you hit ME in the head!" Tanbar said back.
"You two ran into reach other!" Mira said to Tanbar and Lanbar.
"Yeah...I think we've figured that out now." Tanbar said.
((What does the Scalander gem do...?))
(( Increases power. The longer you have it, the more power you get.
Damn, I wanted this to end today >.>. Ah well, see you guys all in a week.))
((Are you leaving for the week? D: ))
Mira started meditating.
((Should I make a DMDTS: The Lost Spring Break Episodes? XP))
((Maybe. XD It'd give us something to do. :P))
((That's true)).

((Alright alright... As soon as I take a nap and get rid of this headache...))
((Wait...so what's this little side-quest RP...thing going to be about? Because we can't really base it around spring break. It works for valentines day and everything but what are we suppose to RP about when it's about spring break? Relaxing? Paying a giant talking rodent 500$ to wait in lines all day? Also, I know we're doing this because BoA is on spring break but I had it a couple weeks ago so it seems we're a bit late on that but then again, we were late for the valentines day one so that argument has now been flushed down the toilet...Anyways...Wait? Where was I? X.x))
((Spring break party on the beach. It's as simple as that. It worked well for Valentine's Day, excluding the beach part)).
((Partyin' on the beach, in tha club, in hotels, at Six Flags Cresent Island, Party like a rock, party like a rockstar! T-t-t-totally dude! Okay I'm done... Hell, it works because I wish I were on Spring Break now instead of having it in March when it's still cold here. XP))
(( Announcer: Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets: The Sequel! Coming this Summer to an internet forum near you! Sorry, but one post in the DMDTS Extra made me think of that XD.
Guess who's back? Back AGAIN. Me. Surprised? I know, me too. I thought I was someone else for a second. So, you guys can go ahead and wrap up the side-quest or whatever you need to do before starting the real deal up again. Ight, see y'all later. ))
((yay, why don't you join in the spring break thing?_))
((Because the spring-break thing was creatd to keep us occupied until BoA gets back and as you can see...he's back so there is no longer a need to have the spring break RP anymore.))
(( Eh, why not finally get a chance to participate in one of the extraz? This will probably be the last side-quest before this thing ends, so we might as well let it last for a bit before finishing this RP. ))
Focus on your injury..... Allow your energy to restore the injured area... Mira started to focus on his gut. Feel the injury fade away..... Mira's body started to generate energy in his gut, allowing him to worry less about his gut. A constant flow of energy will flow to your injured area, but you must allow it.
((Now that the side-quest is done, finish this... before everyone forgets about it...))
((I'm sorry I wasn't able to post in the sidequest! ;__; I was gone all day yesterday and had a crapload of homework today... sorry. It's all my fault... DX ))

((*looks around.* Who, me? ::) Nice sig, BTW, Boa.))
Venice kept running away.
Hey, maybe I could get a ship to one of the other continents... he thought randomly.
'Stupid Venice!' Jas growls and continues chasing after the thief, somewhat fueled by rage. 'Hasn't he learned anything from this poop!?'
((Lol, Jas is really oblivious...))
Venice kept running. Stupid Jas! She shoulda seen this coming!
((And they kept running and running. Some say they are still running to this day... <_<))
Mira came out of his mediated state, with excess energy flowing into his gut. With that in mind, Mira ran after Venice, with his knives out.
((*Beats T_L over the head with a bat* Jas isn't oblivious!))
Jas slams her twin blades downwards, using a fire spell to create a wall of flames in front of Venice.
((They kept running and running with their never-ending power of endurance.))
((*gets a headache* Yeah, she is!))
"That's just unfair," said Venice, stopping at the fire wall.
((Yea verily.))
Mira stopped running and took this chance to use his grappling hook on Venice.
Venice dodged the grappling hook, but almost burned himself on the fire wall.
Solon leaned against a tree, regaining his strength. He watched as Jas and Mira gave chase to Venice, and he glanced at Zarani, getting away with the other gem. God darn it... And Venice was the one who warned me about trusting people, Solon thought angrily. Why didn't I listen? If anyone, those two were the most suspicious!
Mira flicked his grappling hook like a whip and tried again. "Jas! Go for Zarani! I take care of Venice!"
"Kei is going after him!" Jas continues sprinting towards Venice. She swings her blades two more times in attempt to surround Venice with the flames.
Venice managed to avoid both the grappling hook and the fire, but burned his left hand.
Mira flicked the grappling hook once more.
"I will get that jewel back!" Jas slashes a few more times, causing flames to erupt from the ground.
"Holy crap!" cried Venice as flame nearly toasted him. He dashed away, parallel to the first fire wall.
Mira flicked his grappling hook just as Venice dashed away.
((Meanwhile Sh0rTi is spinning around in her chair laughing sadistically.))
"Yaaah!!!" Jas sends another streak of flames so it would run in front of Venice, and perpendicular to the first wall of flames.
"Yes!" Solon whooped as he noticed Venice was losing. He ran over to their location. He was trying to decide whether to draw his gun or sword, but either way he was there to help cut Venice from his path.
Venice swerved back towards Solon and the other ones without realizing to dodge the flame.
Solon quickly drew his blade and slashed at Venice. If hit, it would make a steady cut, but Solon wasn't trying to kill him.
Quite unfortunately for him, the slash connected, causing a non-fatal wound, but still caused him to stop. "Crap..."
Mira took this chance to flick his grappling hook once more.
Venice stepped to the side to dodge said grappling. "Do you ever give up?!"
Unfortunately, Jas isn't as forgiving. She flicks her blades, now casting lightning spells on Venice.
"Hell no!" Mira started flicking his grappling hook again, and not stopping until he hit his target.
"Anger issues?" said Venice weakly as he sidestepped a thunderbolt. He took out the Cloud Gem and threw it at Jas. As he did that, the grappling hook clipped his shoulder, knocking him to the ground. "You suck, Mira," he said, sitting up.
"No u. Wanna help us catch Zarani or do you want me to tear your shoulder off?"
"Not much of a choice," replied Venice. "I probably wouldn't be much help anyway."
"Well then let's find a good place to keep you tied up."
Jas catches the Cloud Gem, but not before sending one more small bolt of lightning at Venice. "Hmmph..."
"You suck," said Venice as he was shocked by the thunder.
Jas mentally comes up with a 'Yo Mama' comeback in her head, but doesn't bother stating it and walks away.
Solon followed Jas, done with Venice. "Can I see the gems?" he asked her.
Jas holds the gems out to Solon, then hides them again. "There, you seen them..."
Solon rolled his eyes and replied, "You know what I meant. Can I have them?"
"Wait," Jas says. Then she continues walking. "And don't try to pickpocket, I'm in no mood to fight, and if I do there will be hell..."
"Wait for what?" Solon sighed. "I spent enough time trying to get the gems away from me, now that I can control myself again, I'd like to have them back."
Harver ran up next to Solon and Jas. "What the hell is happening?"
((Who has which gems?))
Jas walks until they're far away enough from Venice, then tosses one of the gems to Solon. "Venice thought he was the poop and tried to take the Cloud Gem..."
((Jas and Solon have the Cloud and one other one))
(( Solon has the Cloud Gem and Crescent Gem, Jas has the Scalander Gem, and Zarani has the Scale Gem. I have no idea whose got the Time Gem... ))
"Thanks," Solon thanked, catching the gem. Then he turned to Harver and said, "Venice and Zarani ran off with two of our gems. We got the one from Venice back, but Zarani still has the Scale Gem."
"And he'd either give it back or face Kei being extra mad at him," Jas says, stretching her arms a bit.
((Harver still have the Time Gem, I believe.))
"It seems like the only thing we have left to do is gather up all the gems and use their powers to destroy them," Harver advised.
"Thing is," Jas looks at the gem in her hand. "Can we destroy them?"
Harver turned to Solon. "Isn't there a myth that says if we gather up all of the gems, we'll be granted a wish by the gods?"
Jas looks back at the two, listening.
"Yes," Solon replied, nodding his head slowly as he thought. "With the Scalander Gem in the middle, and the others in a circle around it."
"Then we don't really have to take the gems back," Harver whispered to Solon and Jas, so that no one else could hear. "All we have to do is get the person with the Scalander Gem in between the people with the other gems. That, or we could do it the hard way and take the gems by force."
Mira's ears twitched, but he did not interpret the sound properly because Harver was too quite.
Solon nodded along, thinking that would be the easiest way. "Alright," he whispered back, "then Jas should give me the other gems, besides the Scalander Gem, and we'll get Zarani to circle around her with us. But, maybe we should include some of the others in on this, with more people carrying gems, it would be harder for them to be stolen. Or at least have some people who are pretending to carry gems, so if anyone tries something, there's a greater chance that they will pick someone without a gem."
"That should work too," Jas says nodding. She then looks at her hands to see that they're still clawed, and runs her tongue over her canine teeth only to find that they're still fanged. 'Guess that curse got so far, and so bad that I'm stuck with some of these features... At least I know it won't hurt anything.'
"I agree," Harver whispered, looking back at Solon. This is so unlike Solon... being able to think up of a good plan on the spur of the moment...

((Heck. I don't know what my teacher was thinking when he put this word in. DX I'm a freshman and compaired to the other words he uses, this was pretty easy. XD))
(( what were some of the harder ones? ))
"Good," Solon said, giving a satisfactory nod before turning away from the huddle. "I guess... we should inform some of the others of this plan before putting it fully in motion."
((Hmm...Exorbitant - extravagent; immoderate
Clandestine - Characterized by, done in, or executed with secrecy or concealment
Generally the words aren't too long nor are the deffinitions. It's just how my teacher does the test.

((>.> <.< 2010 ftw! XP))
"Yes, we should," Jas says, seeing Keisha in view. "Or this will never be over..."
((YO! I'm a back! Listen guys, there's something serious.. *deep breath* I can't come anymore on school days...unless I improve.

((I"m guessing that Venice has turned evil, and has stolen the gem. Everybody's trying to kill him. AM i correct?))

((Hands off the gem, ninnyes. :P))
((Yay!))
Mira waited for further orders, holding onto the grappling hook, with Venice at the end of it.
((*Pimp slaps Org* Muhsucka you late! Where's the gem!? j/k =P))
Zarani stood on top of a building, his arms crossed, watching Venice far off in the distance through a telescope. "Oh bugga, they've got the other one." He said, looking at the gem in his hand.
((I had an absence explainable through the very good reason that I didn't feel like coming on because of the sidequest and I didn't know I was LK.))
((Everyone has to hate on the sidequest... X.x))
"Yep, it's right in front of me," Keisha says, arms folded as she appears behind Zarani in a swirl of flames. "Give the gem back..."
((g2g))
"Mira, get your darn grappling hook off me!" yelled Vdnice.
Mira suddenly pulled back on the grappling hook, causing a great deal of pain to Venice. "You don't tell me what to do. What are you going to do when you are free?"
"Breathe. Exist. Et cetera," groaned Venice as Mira pulled.
"Come on, Zarani!" Harver called out. "Give back the gem, and we can end this without a fight. You're clearly outnumbered. Or do you really want more chaos to ensue?"
"I'll keep my hook in until we take care of the gem situation."
"You suck," said Venice. "The gems are hardly worth the trouble."
"Once they are eliminated, of course."
(( Wow, perfect timing. ))
Solon used the Cloud Gem's speed to catch up to Zarani, forgetting their previous plan. "Zarani, hand over the gem," Solon growled. He eyed how far up they were cautiously before turning back to face Zarani, his sword in hand.
"Dammit, Solon," Harver muttered, running after him.
Solon glanced over the building to see Harver coming towards him. Good, maybe we can ambush him, Solon thought.
Harver ran into the building, casting "Time" yet again. After running up a flight of stairs and emerging at the roof with blood slightly pouring down his lip, he let time resume. "Zarani, please. I'm just about through with all of this."
Zarani merely laughed. "Sorry, mate, but this'll fetch a good price." He grinned and stepped backwards, falling off the building but catching himself in midair with his silk belt, hanging over the streets. He dropped down and sprinted away, shooting a barrel full of gunpowder which exploded, breaking the door and blocking the way out.
"And it will get the whole world killed, stupid!" Jas yells, running after Zarani. Kei follows closely behind.
Solon glanced over at Harver, taking out his grappling hook. He put the hook on the side of the building and began sliding down the rope, feeding it out to himself. "C'mon Harver!" Solon beckoned. "Just don't step on my face on the way down!"
Harver nodded and began sliding down the rope after Solon. Just don't fall, Solon... I hope we broke that trend.
Solon made it down with minor rope burn. Which he cured by blowing on his hands and rubbing them softly against his jeans. He then waited for Harver to make it down.
Harver made it down a few seconds after Solon. Phew. Glad he didn't die. "Shall we give chase?" He asked aloud.
Solon reeled in his grappling hook and nodded. "Yeah, let's kick some blood pirate ass!"
Harver smiled back. "Let's." He began running after where Zarani had gone off to.
Solon kept at a swift pace right behind Harver. He kept the Cloud Gem close, ready to use it if need be.
Harver did the same as Solon with the Time Gem, his eyes scanning for Zarani's whereabouts. Where did he go..?
Solon used the speed of the Cloud Gem to speed up in order to get a closer look of Zarani's location. "Damn it, Zarani! Give us back the Scale Gem!" Hopefully the power hasn't taken effect, yet, Solon thought.
"Another stupid chase," Jas sighs. 'Makes me wonder if I shoulda killed him,' she and Keisha chase after the Jack Sparrow-like gem thief.
((If I knew this was the 5000th post, I woulda tried to make it better... >.>))
((Then why don't you, there's an edit button right there. :P))
((Zarani has the Scalander Gem, not the Scale Gem. Jas has the Scale Gem in her special place. :-P))
(( Oh, right. I keep getting those two names mixed up. ...And I made them up ><... ))
((lol @ Birdie. And we wait for Org yet again... >_>))
((Org needs to get his ass over here before I decide to fall back on the side RP again...))
(( I'll give him till Monday. If he doesn't reply, then I'll just swipe the gem from him and get this over with. ))
((How about I have Jas and Kei take the gem now? *Innocent look*))

((Personally, I'd go with this idea. ::)))
((Geez, is it so intercourse ing hard to wait on someone who's sick to get online?))
Zarani looked back and then ran into another building, quickly running up the stairs.
((It's near summer, and I'm RP addicted sorry. >.>))
Jas starts to run after Zarani, but then suddenly stops. She starts casting flame spells, sending swirls of fire up the stairs after the pirate.
((For me, it's ALREADY Summer. =D ))
Harver ran up to Jas. "Do we really need to kill him? All we really need is the gem."
((Dun rub your summerness in my face. I still have four days this week and finals. X.x))
"I wasn't gonna kill him," Jas says, still sending flames after Zarani. "I was just gonna give 'em a few third degree burns and a wedgie..."
"Don't make the whole building unnaccessible to us!" Solon yelled as he watched Jas' flames rush through the building. "We're just here to make peace, not destroy land."
((Wait, I just remembered... weren't all the buildings in this part of the Land of Emit destroyed? -_-;; ))
((Let's just say we're in a building that was gonna crumble with or without Jas' flames. xP))
Zarani continued sprinting up the stairs, and then quickly glanced behind him to see the oncoming fireballs. "Oh bugga." He said quickly as he ran, stepping onto a stair which crumbled, causing him to fall through. He landed on his feet on the ground, slightly shaken, and looked around. "...That way!" He said running through the ground level and out the door.
"Not so fast!" Harver shouted at Zarani. "Time!" Time instantly froze, and Harver ran up to Zarani, and snatched the gem from him. He began to run back to Jas and Solon, but he felt his heart thud extremely loud. Not good!! He began to cough up blood, and time resumed without his consent. He quickly tossed the gem to Jas, and then collapsed.
"Huh?!" Jas catches the gem, then kneels down by Harver. "Damn, you just gotta get yourself into some poop!" She starts to lift him up, looking to give the gem to Solon.
Zarani jumped quickly, being caught off guard, and grasped for the gem in mid air, punching it away. He drew his pistol and then pressed it against Harver's head. "The gem." He said, nodding his head towards it. "Or Harver." He said coldly.
((God damMIT... No posty when I posting...))
((How about YOU go back and edit. =P))
Jas glares at Zarani, then casts a lightning spell, striking the pistol with a bolt to knock it away from Harver's head. Just as quickly, one of her blades are drawn, now pointing at the pirate's throat.
Damn... gotta... move! Harver's body remained motionless, though he could tell what was going on. Come... on!!
Zarani held his hands up in a surrender sort of way then backflipped kicking the sword away. He stood for half a second afterwards. "Whoa, alcohol." He said quickly, shaking his head. He jumped to the side and drew his cutlass, picking up the gem and pocketing it. He held the cutlass ready to fight. "Move?" He said.
Solon drew his sword and glanced over at Harver. "You okay?" he asked him, his eyes once again on Zarani.
"He has the gem," Harver said, struggling to get the words out to Solon. "We're all in one place. Now destroy it."
Solon looked back at Harver with wide eyes. He hadn't even realized they were all circled around Zarani. He gave a quick nod before turning back, closing his eyes, and focusing. I've got to do this fast, then!
Scale Gem...
Crescent Gem...
Cloud Gem...
Time Gem... As he said each gem's name, they began to glow. With the power of the Scalander Gem, awaken!
There was a blast of silver light, coming right from where Zarani was. Now above Zarani, about 50 feet in the sky, floated a circular vortex, flashing vibrant colors.
"Whoa..."
Harver drew the strength to stand up, and looked up at the mysterious vortex. "How peculiar."
"Rave party to the max," Jas looks up at the spinning mass. She watches, awaiting what is supposed to happen next.

(( Methinks I'm too lazy. ))
Uh... Hello?" Solon called out to the vortex.
"You called upon me..." A voice echoed out across the area. Solon looked around for a moment before realizing it was the vortex that was talking.
"What the hell? A swirling mass of colors can't talk!" Solon exclaimed.
"Don't judge a book by it's cover...""...Riiiiiiiight..."
"We have called upon you to destroy the gems of Slander," Harver shouted to the vortex, still struggling to keep from wobbling.
"Destroy what thy knows is sacred?" the voice echoed, carrying on.
"Yes!" Solon shouted up to it. "These gems have caused too much trouble, we must destroy them!"
"Be that your final wish?" the voice asked.
Harver looked down at the Time Gem in his hands with uncertainty. This is what's right, isn't it? But still... He looked up at the Vortex, and then fixed his gaze. "Yes."
Jas gazes at the gem in her possession before looking up at the vortex, nodding.
Zarani glared upwards. "My gem!" He yelled angrily up at the vortex. With all his strength he hurled the gem away from the group, kicked his pistol off the ground into his hand, and fired at it three times, each shot hitting it and pushing it further away.
The Scalander gem, like a magnet, flew up and began swirling around the vortex, along with the other four gems. They were all glowing even brighter now.
"Too late, Zarani," Solon said as we watched the gems leave. As much as I wanted that Crescent Gem as a memento from my parents... It's too late, now... "I've called on that vortex. And my final wish, along with my friends, is to destroy the gems. Without the gems, the lands will no longer have a reason to fight... Maybe there can finally be peace..."
"As you wish..." the voice whispered.
Zarani stared upwards. "...Final wish...?" He grinned. "'Oy, spirit thingy. My final wish is for you to keep the gems in one piece, and kill all of them." He called up to it. "I have shinier things than the gems, if you want them."
"In case you haven't noticed," Jas starts. "You're not the one who gets the honors of making the wish, dumbass."
Keisha appears behind Jas after seeing the vortex appear.
"Also, Zarani, it's a portal," Harver calmly said. "What would it want with shiny things?"
"...Oh." He sat down on the ground. "Well intercourse you all then, I get the ship."
"Then, I shall grant your wish," the voice echoed. There was a violent earthquake and the gems shot away in all different directions, each to their respective lands. Solon winced slightly, and sighed.Solon nodded, looking solemn.
Harver fell over during the mini-quake, but nothing seemed to be damaged. He slowly stood up. "So... is that it?"
Jas picks up her blade that was kicked away, and turns slightly as she looks around. "It seems that way..."
Zarani stared up at the ceiling. "Yes." He said quietly. "It's over..." He stood up and sprinted towards the ship. "Venice!" he yelled out.
"Would you stay still," Jas says to Harver, more demanding than asking. "You did just cough up a bunch of blood..."
"So I take it," Keisha yawns, ears twitching. "It's up to me to stop the ship from being stolen..." She stretches her arms a bit before running off, after Zarani in a burst of flames.
Harver obliged and sat down, exhausted. He looked at the half-destroyed town. "We did it... but at what price?" He asked Jas.
"I really don't know," Jas sits beside Harver after sheathing her weapons. "I just hope it's not like an endless cycle..."
Venice thought he heard someone calling his name, but dismissed it a just his imagination. And even if someone had called his name, there wasn't much he could do about it cause Mira had not let him leave yet.
"Sorry guys," Solon apologized, looking down at the ground. "The gems are safely disposed of... But not destroyed."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Harver asked, remaining seated.

((...The RP is basically over. I think it's too late for anyone more to join. Of course, that's up to Birdie.))
(( Yeah, sorry Cap'n, but all we need to do is resolve a few things and it will be over. If a sequel ever comes out, you could join that. ))
Solon sighed and said, "The voice spoke to me... in my head and... it helped me realize something..." Solon took a deep breath before continuing. "The gems have been each brought to their respective homes, gaurded and hidden deep within... But, they have not been destroyed. I... I secretly changed my wish... at the last moment..."
Harver contemplated this for a few moments. "...Then that was for the better. Think about it; the gems represent their respective countries. By destroying the gems, we might have made the chance greater for war to continue. But since the gems still exist - even if they're hidden, as you said - the balance remains, and war might cease. It's a long shot; only time will tell."
Jas sighs and leans back, now looking at the sky. "I guess it really is an endless cycle then. Eventually the gems will resurface, and someone will take advantage of them."
"But there's nothing we can do," Harver simply said. "It might not happen for even thousands of years... we just can't let Zarani know." He finished, keeping his voice low so that he couldn't hear him, even though he knew he was far away at the moment.
"I just happen to not like the idea of our hard work," Jas pauses for a moment. "The thought that our hard work, the work that literally took our blood, sweat, and tears, will eventually crumble like nothing. All of that for nothing..."
"Well, I guess we should live in the moment, then," Harver told Jas. "We can't let that get us down. We just defeated the biggest threat to the balance of Slander, and have possibly restored peace - even if it's only temporarily. Shouldn't that count for something."
((O shi-! I just thought where Shorti might be going with this; this BETTER not have an Inuyasha-esque ending. >_> ))
(( I think that's what she was going for ever since the whole "turning into a dog" thing XD ))
Solon nodded and added, "I doubt anyone would be able to get to them. I was able to get them deeply embedded into the earth underneath each island." A smile crept onto his face as he remembered something else, the reason he had changed his mind at the last second. "Well, I guess that means our part is over. We can finally go home."
Harver looked out at the ocean, not far off, as the waves gently knocked into the sand. "What is home?"
((lol, just remembered from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
"Yes, things'll go back to normal once the cows come home."
"What is normal?"
"What is home?"
"...What are cows?"))
((Nope, no Inu-like ending. xD I just liked the idea of Jas having doggy ears and claws and a tail and going incredible Hulk.))
"What are cows?" Jas asks. j/k j/k
"Home... The place where you should be the most comfortable at," Jas smiles for a bit. "But that would mean not seeing you guys again, wouldn't it?"
"We'd still keep in touch," Harver told Jas reassuringly, with a weary glance at Solon. "Unfortunately, I have to come to terms with reality. I have no home to go back to; it was one of the homes destroyed in the fire here. It killed my parents, as well." Perhaps... I could devote my time to rebuilding the land here? However, I have no knowledge of being an architect...
((lol, aside from the whole drug thing, this pretty much sums up Harver and Jas's relationship:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwJb_SSR96A&feature=related ))
Zarani turned on the spot. "Ah, Keisha. Come to join my crew love?" He asked, backing slowly towards the ship.
"Then why wander by yourself?" Jas asks, glancing at Harver. "What good will that do? You could come back with me and find a place..."
"I," Keisha advances towards Zarani. "Am not the type to be bossed around, got that?" Her tail lazily waves behind her. "How about we not keep up the trouble with them, and get a different ship, hm?"
((lulz xD))
Harver looked back at Jas. "Well... I don't want to be a burden to you."
"You seriously believe you'd be a burden...?" Jas tilts her head to the side a bit. "You'd let everything go because you consider yourself a pain in the ass? Harver, really. That's not true, and I can't just let you go like that..."
"Harver, you're relationship isn't going to get anywhere if you wait for her to make all the decisions and then you second guessing them," Solon commented with a smirk. "I mean, what'll it be like to wait for Jas to make all the dates? Or Jas to propose? I can imagine Jas popping the question, then you going: 'Yeah, but... I don't want you to have to live with me for the rest of your life.'. She digs you man, so just go for it."
Harver glared at Solon, and then looked back at Jas. "...He's right. You're both right. I need to be more commanding with my life. So... yes, I will take you up on that offer." He said with a smile.
((I can imagine Jas popping the question... This whole scenario is weird.))
"Mira, get your grappling hook off me. I think its over now," said Venice, who was annoyed that he was still being kept captive.
((Jas asking Harver to bear kids. xD http://youtube.com/watch?v=Gnp2_JtMHu0))
"Oh geeze, forgot you were there 0.o," Jas says after Solon cuts in. She shakes her head and looks at Harver again. "Good," she says smiling more.
Solon went over and loosened the grappling hook to let Venice wiggle out.
"Well then, now that this is all over..." Solon fingered the item in his pocket and smiled, relieved it was there. "We survived through thick and thin, the only thin being when we cut the thick thin enough to make it thin," Solon began. "And I guess I'll always feel some sort of special bond towards you guys, but now I better be off." I'll be able to continue my traveling...as soon as I find a boat... and learn how to manuever it... Then again, I might be stuck here for a while...
"Freedom!" said Venice to himself as he was freed. "Now what?"
"I... want you to have my children."
"Yes, now what?" Harver asked Solon, slowly getting back up.
XD "Attaboy! All you had to do was be more direct!" *cough cough*
"Wha?" Solon started, he scratched the back of his head as he thought. "Well... I was planning on travelling more. This experience was great, and got me thinking that I should go out and see the world. As soon as I learn how to work a boat, I thought I'd head out."
Harver grinned. "Maybe you could talk Tanbar into letting him give you lessons."
"Those would be some disastrous lessons," Jas starts imagining a boat slamming into a tree somehow.
"Of course we could find another ship..." He said. "But, what's it matter? We'll only be stranding them on the island. They can find a way off, savvy?"
"Oh come on," Keisha rolls her eyes. "Doing all that isn't worth it. Besides, I'm pretty darn sure there's at least one other ship there we can take."
Solon began daydreaming about steering a ship...
"Man the... Poop deck, maties!" Solon shouted, pointing at some random side of the ship. "Go starboard, or whatever!" A few guys run to the side of the ship and stand there. "Okay, now arbitrarily pull those ropes to make it seem like you're doing something!" The men pull the ropes and the boat starts to turn. "Holy crap, we're going down!" The ship is tossed from the waves and one of the mast breaks from being in the wrong direction to the wind.
"Uh..." Solon uttered, looking around. "Ahoy laddies! I see land!" Solon points in some random direction where no land can be seen. "Go thattaway! Oh wait... I'm steering... Huh. And why don't anyone from my daydreams ever talk?"
"What was that, sir?"
"...Nevermind random person from my daydream." Solon began steering the ship but went in circles. "Holy crap! We're going into that random rock sticking out of the ground that really has no reason to be there and in reality there aren't many rocks long enough to stick out of the ocean when it is so deep, like in that book about the leagues of the sea, and since when did a rock stick out of the ground in the middle of the ocean, anyway?"
Suddenly, Solon is sitting on the rock, his crew and boat no where in sight.
"Thank god for time-skipping," Solon stated, awaking from his daydream. "I wasn't in the mood to go through that scene where I had to get onto that rock while my boat and crew sank."
((I know where BoA's avi is from. Banjo-Kazooie! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpPnK2Bl0Pk))
"I think we may eventually go through the scene where the men in the white coats take Solon away," Jas stands there, twirling one of her blades around. "Who are you talkin' to?"
((Crap! The email notification system is broken! Can someone summarize what I missed?))
(( Uh, lemme think... First, we got all the gems, summoned the portal that granted us one wish. Solon was going to destroy the gems, but changed his mind and sent them deep underneath their own homes, to help power the lands. Solon freed Venice, who was still tied to your grappling hook, and now everyone's just kind of wrapping everything up. ))
"Huh?" Solon turned towards Jas. "Oh, I was just daydreaming... Did I say something out loud?"
"Something about a boat sinking or something," Jas puts the blade away. "Let's just get going, hm?" She starts heading towards the ship.
"Where to?" Harver asked, following Jas.
((k thanks)).
Well at least that's done and over with. Mira thought to himself, as he squatted on the ground. I wonder what I'll have to tell my boss. Mira sighed. The Dead Men are all dead, the gems are deep in the ground. A mission failure. At this I can count this as my vacation.
"Well," Jas slows down so she's walking with Harver. "We could head to Crescent," she says, looking over at him.
Harver thought about this. "Sounds good. We could decide what to do and where to go from there."
"Mmhm," Jas nods as the ship comes into view. "Though it'd be weird just staying in one place after all of this."
"We could continue traveling," Harver suggested as he saw the ship as well. "Somehow."
Jas laughs a bit as they pass Keisha still trying to reason with Zarani. "That's true too. We can do that after we take a break... Even though this time we'll probably need money to go places."
Mira's ears twitched when Jas mentioned money. He then sighed. This mission would have gotten me a huge paycheck. Mira lowered his head.
"...That's true," Harver noted. "But we'll be able to get the money, eventually."
"Aww, looks like it's back to lookin' for a job for me," Jas boards the ship. "From gem hunting to bussin' tables... how'd that one happen? Hm, whatever works I guess."
"I say we do it the old fashion way," Solon chimed in. "Steal and run. It's worked for me these past sixteen years."
"But steal what?"
"Food, transportation, money, clothes, recreational equipment," Solon listed, counting them off with his fingers. "Virtually anything. And sometimes you can steal jewelry and sell it. That worked for me for a while... Until I tried selling it to the lady I stole it from..."
"So where do we go now?"
"Not too much of a bright idea there, eh, Solon?" Harver asked, grinning. "I've never been one for stealing... I could always get a job."
"H-hey...I think somebody got onto the ship." Tanbar said from the cellar of the ship.
"Yeah...*hic* sssso?" Lanbar said taking another sip of the rum he had. "I'm sure they got the gemsss from Zaran*hic* Zara*hic* the blood guy."
"Naah, stealing doesn't work for me," Jas holds back a yawn. "I'll stick to being a ninja and future culinary genius."
"Yeah, well... No one would give a job to a homeless kid where I came from. Good thing, too. I was trained for nothing," Solon replied. He looked around for Tanbar and Lanbar. "Where did those guys go, anyway? TANBAR! LANBAR!"
"Either a way, a ninja is often hired to steal things for their client."
"Well...that'ssss them." Lanbar said getting out of the chair and stumbling up the stairs. "What the hell do *hic* you want?"
"I'm my own boss," Jas says. She rolls her eyes at the once again drunk twins.
"We're ready to shove off," Solon explained, though he felt uncomfortable talking to drunk Lanbar about it. "Is Tanbar ready to steer this baby home? We were planning on going to Crescent Island."
"So you pay yourself?" Mira asked Jas.
"No," Jas says. "Not yet, but once I stop traveling and decide to settle somewhere, I'm gonna open my own restaurant."
"Then what was the point of being a ninja?"
"Wow," Harver said, simply dumbfounded. "For some reason, that doesn't surprise me."
"Tanbar! Get your cowarding ass up *hic* here and steer the ship!" Lanbar said.
"Alright alright." Tanbar said coming up the stair. "You didn't have to call me a coward though." he said under his breath.
"You didn't let me finish," Jas leans against a railing. "I could open a training gym if I wanted as well..."
Zarani watched them all board the ship. "Well darn, now we can't bloody well take it, can we." He took his pistol out. "We can always commandeer it."
"No, Zarani," Keisha grabs onto his wrist, and starts pulling him to another ship that somehow wasn't destroyed. It seemed to be just about perfect. "Sure we'd need a sailor to get around quicker, but then again, what's wrong with spending a bit more time with me?"
He paused for a moment. "...What would you do with the rum?" He asked her.
"Drink it, love it, party up, drink it down, and get drunk as hell," Keisha says grinning slightly. "I mean really, what else am I supposed to do with it?"
"Cook it." Mira said, overhearing their conversation.
Zarani looked at her and grinned. "Then there is absolutely nothing wrong with you, love." He said. He looked at Mira with his eyebrow raised. "Shoo." He said, motioning him away with his hands.
"Okay then," Keisha says laughing, and heading for the ship she picked, still pulling Zarani along. "Let's go."
I should get on the boat as well. Mira went on the boat, but moved faster, as to leave Keisha and Zarani together.
((...Yeah, different boats.))
((He ain't online, so he can't fix it. You might as well have just posted something. xP))
((Let's just say Mira mis-assumed which boat that they were going on to)).
"Mira!" Keisha nods over to the boat with everyone else on it. "You wanna go on that one."
"Right! Thanks!" Mira went from where he was to the correct boat.
Jas is looking out at nothing. She is absentmindedly rubbing at her right wrist, and shifting all her weight to her left side. If she's sore now, it's going to be hell the next day.
Keisha smiles slightly before looking around the deck of the ship she is on.
"You okay?" Harver asked, stepping beside her.
"Yeah, I-," Jas goes to put weight on her right foot, but finds that she can't. "Ow!" She sighs and leans against the railing again. "No..."
"That makes two of us," Harver said, smiling. "Let's try to find a doctor to help once we get back to Crescent."
"If needed, I can provide a temporary - at the very least- solution to your problems." Mira said, overhearing their conversation.
"How?" Harver asked, curious.
"In the same way I healed Solon, with my energy."
"He's good," Solon added, walking over and rubbing his neck. "If he hadn't helped me... Well, I'm just glad we got someone so skilled at healing on our side." Solon leaned against the railing, watching the scenery. Heh, I've come far... It might have taken me a while, but I'd say I've grown more skill from this experience. I mean, I didn't die, so that's something in itself, he thought with a wide grin. He rubbed his pocket before turning around and facing the ship again.
"So, what are you guys planning on doing once we get to Crescent?" Solon asked the three.
"Shall we set off then, mate?" He asked Keisha, walking over to the wheel.
"Well I've got no known business there, so I'm probably going to use our time at Crescent as a vacation."
"Yep," Keisha starts preparing the ship so they can leave.
"Alright," Jas says still stretching. "I'll give it a try."
((g2g))
((k)).
"So what exactly is the problem?" Mira asked Jas, attempting to diagnose her problem.
"I messed up my wrist and ankle," Jas shows Mira her wrist, and points at her injured ankle.
"I see..... Do you remember how?"
"No," Jas shakes her head. "The last thing I remember before I ended up in that cave was seeing red and blanking out before I guess... I lost my mind."
"I see." Mira said, as he carefully grabbed Jas' injured wrist and sent some energy through it, but it wasn't the healing energy yet. He wanted to determine whether or not there was a broken bone, artery, vein, or nerve connection.
"Hm!?" Jas automatically tenses as she watches carefully.
"I see...." Mira withdrew his sensory energy and sent his healing energy through his hands and to Jas' injured wrist.
Jas continues to watch, her wrist still throbbing, but stopping as the energy is sent through.
"How is your wrist feeling?" Mira asked, continuing to flow energy to the wrist.
"It's feeling a little better," Jas moves her fingers a bit. "Thanks."
"Amazing," Harver muttered as he watched Mira.
"No problem. Did you say your ankle was also injured?"
"Yeah, it is," Jas is still leaning against the railing with most of her weight on her left side.
Since most of the weight is on her left, then injury is on the right side. "I believe that your ankle has the same type of injury as in your wrist, but in case I end up being wrong, I'm going to check your ankle." And using the same type of energy as before, he did just that. "Alright then." Mira used his healing energy to heal Jas' ankle.
Jas tenses like before, then relaxes slightly. She doesn't say much during the process.
((should bbl))
((k)).
"So how do you feel?"
Jas looks up at Mira, rotating her ankle slightly. "Better. I should be able to walk on it some."
Mira stopped the flow of energy and back away. "Try walking on that foot. If it still hurts, I can continue the treatment."
Jas starts walking around. After a few minutes, she starts jogging, but quickly stops. "I'll be good to walk for now, but I can't run much."
"Do you think you can recover fully by yourself at this point?"
"Mmhm," Jas smiles and nods. "It shouldn't take that long. Thanks, Mira."
"No problem. Does anyone else require medical assistance?" Mira asked, as he sat on the ground.
"That was amazing..." Harver simply said as he watched Mira sit down.
"Thanks. If you understand the concept of energy, it's not that hard to do. Of course, you'd still have to learn how to regulate your internal energy and such, but still...." Mira took a deep breath in, then a deep breath out.
"I take it that it's a very hard concept to master," Harver said. "Even though you know how to do it well, it still takes away a lot of your own energy to do it. Even if you regulate your energy, you're left with significantly less than what you started out with."
"Yes. If I attempted to revive anyone, I would die myself, for such operation would require all of one's life energy. You can lose large amounts of energy, but regain it overtime. That is thanks to the world's energy; the energy that gives us all life."
"At a glance, such things are basic," Harver said, leaning against the railing. "It's only when you dive into a certain subject when you truly realize how complex it all is. But when you find everything out, it becomes basic again." He sighed. "The world really is a crazy place."
"It sure is."
Harver looked out at the open sea, and saw the sun beginning to rise over the horizon. Morning already?
Jas tries to hold back a yawn. "Long time without... gotta sleep," she starts heading below deck to her room, and ends up stumbling somewhat. "You guys didn't see that..."
((Watch the sunlight peak over the horizon
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
The sun ain't the only thing that's shinin
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Okay I'm done, couldn't help it. First thing that came to mind. http://youtube.com/watch?v=82t_UOMHPJY xD))
((This is the first thing that came to mind, oddly enough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4u26tE3-to It's one of the endings to the Final Fantasy movie: The Spirits Within. Great movie.))
Harver smiled. "You do that."
Jas smiles and goes into her room. As soon as her head hits the pillow, she's asleep.
Solon watched the Sun rise above the water. "It looks like it's coming outta the sea..." Solon whispered, glad he could enjoy a peaceful moment at last.
Mira turned to the direction of the rising sun.
Jas keeps waking up what seems like every twenty minutes. "Well, this sucks," even after putting on some of her music, all she can do is lay there.
"Did I ever tell you about the drawbacks of using your energy to heal others?" Mira said, growing annoyed when he sensed Jas waking up every 20 minutes. At least she decided to stay awake for a bit.
Venice didn't feel like sleeping, so he decided to get some rum. After acquiring said alcohol, he downed the whole bottle in one prolonged gulp then went to his room, promptly falling asleep.
Harver smirked. "No, but I'm not sure if I want to know."
"I see what you did there." Said Mira indifferently.
((Leaving me to wonder what's going on in Harver's mind. 0.o))
Jas is finally lulled to sleep by the music and left to dream a dream.
((5 pts to whoever catches what I referenced to))
((Yes, I know, double post. But I'm bored as hell here!))
Jas mumbles something before turning onto her side. Her hand hangs off the edge of the bed.
(( banbanban ))
Great, Solon thought with a sigh as he saw the whirl channel coming up. My favorite part of all this traveling...
Jas seems to sigh happily in her sleep, and shifts slightly as she mumbles a few words.
"Let's make it a first," Harver said, stepping next to Solon. "Try not to fall over this time," he said, smirking.
Jas yawns and stretches as she comes up above deck. "Shoulda known I wasn't gonna get any sleep," she yawns again before leaning against the railing.
"An unfortunate side-effect for spell-casting patients." Mira said, with tiredness in his tone.
"Ahhh, makes sense," Jas says. "Just wish you woulda told me before," she stays silent until her stomach starts growling. "... I'm guessing nobody was up to cookin' anything either..."
"Do we even have cooking resources?" Mira asked, still lacking the knowledge of these kinds of things.
"If we got a pan and a plan," Jas pushes herself up off the railing. "Then yes, we can."
((I got a pan, I got a plaaaan. xD http://youtube.com/watch?v=rGrqW3nx5HM))
"Do we have meat or anything?"
"I'm sure there's something," Jas starts heading off to the storage room the ship's sure to have. "And when I find something, I'll cook it."
"Ok then."
Jas manages to find some chicken, rice, and various vegetables... a few of those vegetables happen to be spicy. "Oooh, perfect!" She starts grabbing her ingredients, then runs off to make a meal.
"Congratulations......" Mira fell asleep.
A few minutes later, the smell of food sizzling wafts throughout the air. Jas is singing something to herself and swaying a bit as she cooks.
Mira sniffed at the air, but other then that, did nothing, for he was asleep.
Harver yawned as he made his way over to where Jas was cooking. "Whatcha making there?" He asked casually.
Jas looks back at Harver, smiling slightly. "Saut?d spicy chicken and a type of rice from far away, also spicy."
((Made that yesterday. Gonna get me some now. xD))
((...I dunno what to do anymore.))
((Start trying to form a crew because two people can't keep up a huge ship...?))
((In the mean time, try to start a conversation or something)).
Mira fell to his side and continued to sleep.
"Sounds great," Harver said, smiling back. "I can see why you want to be a chef."
"Thanks," Jas takes the now done food off the heat, and covers the pots with the lids so they'll stay warm. "Hungry?"
"Crap, here we go..." Solon muttered as the ship made its final smooth move before lurching forward from the force of the current. Solon shut his eyes tightly and hung onto the rail so hard that his knuckles grew white. As soon as it begun, it was all over. Solon carefully opened his eyes to find he was still standing.
"Miracles really do happen," he whispered to himself as he looked out to see Crescent Island, with the sun glistening behind it, in the distance.
(( Kay, well... The point of this RP is kind of done. Did you guys just want to do your last minute things before I lock this and mark it as complete? ))
((OMG Solon stayed standing!? Wait, that didn't answer the question... Yes! Last minute things like...))
Jas felt the ship jump before calming again. "I take it we're here... 'Ey, Solon!" She shouts. "Don't run out on us yet! Get your ass down here and eat something! I mean we're supposed to walk off into the sunset like badasses as a team ya know!"
((couldn't help it. xP))
(( The curse... has been broken :O! ))
Solon turned his head and smirked at Jas' comment. "Right, right. What kind of end to a real-life-action-story-that-could-become-a-movie-in-the-near-future-if-I-could-get-my-hands-on-a-director-making-me-rich-and-famous would it be if we didn't all walk out into the sunset before the credits we leave this harsh, travelling life behind for a bit?" Solon said, before joining the rest of the gang for a feast.
(( Neither could I... ))
"Spicy," Jas begins to plate the food. "Hot like fire! Like what we've been through," she starts handing plates to people. "Well... Live it up and chow it down."
Lanbar comes up onto the deck along with Tanbar. "Do I smell food?" He said.
"Oh, I want some. I'm getting hungry." Tanbar said.
Mira just laid there, snoring.
Solon threw a piece of the food into Mira's mouth. More to wake him up rather then force the food down. Solon then began digging in, eating rapidly and without much decorum. "Man... this... is... great!" He managed to get each word out between gulps.
"Careful, I did put a bunch of jalape?os in it," Jas says, laughing. After giving everyone else a plate, she gets one herself and starts eating.
Harver took a small bite and felt as if his mouth was going to burn. But as the sensation subsided, it was replaced with a flavorful mixture of spicy, hot, and meaty. He swallowed. "It's great!" He told Jas, and began to eat a little more. He looked around at everyone as he slowly ate. And to think... this is our last meal together for awhile, if not forever. Not all of us have been together the entire time, but we all added our support, one way or another. He smiled for a second, but then frowned, remembering something.
"Solon, can I ask you something?"
((Let's try to finish this tomorrow; I'm gone for a week starting on tuesday.))
Mira subconsciously chewed the food in his mouth, which increased the spiciness of the jalape?os. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mira yelled, waking up. He needed something to drink - anything! He didn't care. He ran into the rum supply room, unaware of what was stored in this room. He never bothered to learn where everything was on the ship. He took a random bottle of rum and downed the whole bottle. He noted the strange taste of this unknown beverage, but didn't bother to do anything about it. It took Mira about 5 minutes to leave the room.
"Guys..... Your bever -hic- drink supp -hic- store contains tainted -hic- poisoned water." Mira said, trying to keep himself upright. This was obviously the first time he consumed rum, seeing as he didn't know what he really drank. Then again, that was the first time he ate spicy food.
"Thanks," Jas says in response to Harver's comment. "I-" but then she's cut off by Mira's running around like a beheaded chicken. "No Mira, you found the rum... and you obviously drank a lot of it, or have low tolerance for alcohol."
"The wha!?" Mira said in surprise, taking a step back, which lead to him falling to his back. "I must have......" Mira fell asleep, trying to detoxify the alcohol in his body.
Jas sighs. Once she finishes eating, she once agai goes towards one of the deck's railings.
Solon opened his mouth, and steam slowly poured out of it. He wiped the sweat off his red face, though he was able to contain himself from screaming like a girl from the spice. His eyes did water slightly, but he quickly rubbed away any signs of it. He turned to Harver after hearing his name being called.
"Yeah, what is it?" Solon asked.
"Back when I had joined the crew, you told me about a dream," Harver began. "It told you about both a traitor, and that one of us would die. The first happened, but the other... what do you think?"
That same thought had been in Solon's mind. After a while of thinking after his accident, he finally thought of an answer. "One of us did die," Solon replied in a serious tone, a way of talking he didn't use too often. "I did. I mean, the evil soul inside of me did, at least. I think that prophecy could tell the soul inside of me was going to be destroyed, but it did not foresee that I would be taken over by a whole different spirit, and that that one would be the one that would meet its demise."
Harver thought this over, and then smiled. "For once, I think you're right, Solon. You did die... but it wasn't actually you." He sighed in relief. "This means we can rest easy."
Jas is still standing where she is, smiling slightly. The ninja had heard the conversation, but hadn't commented on it herself. 'Maybe now we can actually live though,' She leans back, and takes a look around the deck, thinking about what they had gone through. There had been spars, battles, destruction, the dance... 'About that dance,' Jas' gaze returns to Harver's direction.
Harver noticed Jas staring at him. "Is... something wrong?" He asked.
"I can't miss ya?" Jas asks, coming off her train of thought. "I mean really, I haven't really seen you since that dance and extra small break we took."
Harver walked up next to Jas. "Then let's catch up."
Jas smiles at Harver. "That works," she leans back against the rail again.
((How long does it take to conclude an RP? Seriously)).
Mira rolled over, then pushed away from the ground, allowing him to stand up. He stood up, however, he was still drunk.
((Not long... we're just addicted to this one and can't let it go. >.> That and BoA's never here anymore.))
((lol fan-made RP)).

(( Too addicted... I'm locking this now. You can take the rest to PMs if you really want to. Or just assume how everything ends. I'm most likely not coming back here, so there won't be a sequel.
*insert end-of-an-RP-goodbyes here* Oh and, ha ha, I didn't give you guys a chance to get your last words in :P ))
Zarani stood on the mast of his ship, overlooking the sea. "Another bloody adventure finished, and me without my money." He said to himself, a map in his hand. "Now where's the rum..."
((I win.))
(( Okay, guys. I've revived this thread for the epilogue. Until I make the sequel, we can continue RPing here. You can use this thread to discuss what you want in the new RPG, what is now happening with our characters, or whatever else that suits your fancy. But, you know, keep it relevant.
The epilogue begins a month after finally destroying the Dead Men, their leader, and getting rid of all the gems. Peace has finally came to Slander, the gems are back underneath their respective countries under the sea, and the Dead Men have all been wiped out. Now we need to figure out what happened with our characters. Since, in the sequel, your old characters will be allowed to be used, keep that in mind when doing the epilogue. You know, keep things open for some plot twists and fun for the sequel :P ))
((A month later, and our favorite ninja is already preggers! 0.0 j/k))
That one month later...
"Come on!" Our favorite ninja is watching young kids train. "Put more body into those punches! You're not gonna do any damage like that," though while walking around, she does complement a few who are doing what they should be. A fang can just barely be seen as she sighs. 'It's gonna be a long two hours...'
((Is she training them indoors or outdoors?))
A month later, Mira was sleeping on the deck of a medium-sized boat. A sound hitting the side of the boat woke him up. He felt force pulling away from the starboard rail. He looked in that direction and noted a pirate ship moving next to his boat. The starboard rail of Mira's boat had a grappling hook clinging into the wood. Then even more grappling hooks clung to the rail. Mira smiled. He walked over to that rail and watched the pirates run the ropes to his boat.
"Hey! It's a kid!" A pirate yelled.
"A kid?" Another pirate asked. "This will be easy. Let's take the kid AND the loot!" The pirates cheered at the idea. That's when Mira pulled out his knife and cut the pirates' ropes. They yelled as they fell into the water. Mira was happy. He hadn't had that much fun since he got himself involved with the Dead Men.
He looked at the pirates, then their boat, then at the pirates again. He had an idea. He used his grappling hook to attach his boat to the pirate ship, pulled the boat closer, and before boarding, dropped a grenade over the group of floating pirates, in hopes that some of them would drown, if not dazed and confused, disorientated by the water splashing into their eyes.
Mira sailed a bit of ways before he boarded the pirate ship. He then lowered the emergency escape boat down to his boat, then jumped down his his own boat. He loaded the cargo from his original ship onto the emergency boat, climbed up the ropes, then raised the boat back up.
He then unloaded the goods from the emergency boat onto the pirate ship. He was confident he had taken over the ship. He then fell asleep with his cargo, only to wake up due to a collision with the port of Scalus.
"Oh crap..." Mira saw some soldiers coming. "I'm not a pirate!" Mira yelled, as he rushed to lower the sails of the ship. "I'll trade you this ship's sails for a sail from another boat. Some gold and rum if it has a nice design!"
((She's outdoors))
After the defeat of the Dead Men, Sye had disappeared. There were no records of him ever living in Crescent Island, not a single receipt, no debts, nothing at all. Not a trace. It was as if he never existed. Some wondered if he ever did truly exist. Perhaps the legend of the Dead Men Crusaders was just a myth. Those were the non-believers. Other people with faith thought that Sye and the others were still out there, under assumed names or hidden until another crisis irritated society. A handful assumed that the Dead Men Crusaders became Dead Men, and were recruiting new henchmen to reign the dark side once more. But, those were mainly Star Wars fanatics.
Solon put down the newspaper, grinning. It looked like his idea of telling the public fake names had worked. No one knew who had saved their lives. Solon, or Sye, sighed. The article was funny because even if they searched his real name in the registry's, they would come up with nothing. He had made sure to make it look like he had never existed. "Looks like they were kind of on the dot when they made this article," he mumbled, staring out onto the ocean from his ship. "And now we sail..." He looked back at Crescent Island, his old home. He thought back to all the friends he had made during their conquest to destroy the Dead Men.
"Goodbye," he whispered, wishing he could have seen any of them before he left. It must have been at least a month, on their final day, that he spoke to any of them. "Goodbye forever..."
((So, if I wanted to join the sequel, would I have to read 350 pages before I could get in?))

((So, if I wanted to join the sequel, would I have to read 350 pages before I could get in?))
(( No, no lol. That would suck ass. The sequel really has nothing to do with the new one. Different story line, different villain, different plot. Plus it takes place 5 years later on a different continent on Planet Vulcum. The only thing the same is people may use their same characters from the last one. ))
"Well this sucks," said Venice out loud, despite the fact that he was alone in the jail cell in which he was currently held. Less than a month than saving the dang world, and his only reward was a jail cell after being caught thieving a darn jewelry in Crescent Island. In retrospect, this might have been some delayed karma for trying to get away with the Cloud Gem. But that would be ridiculous.
Of course, the guards who had locked him up were also drunk and unconscious at the moment. Convenient. And they had neglected to take away his knife before passing out. These guards were actually bigger idiots than Solon, Lanbar, and Tanbar combined. And he had thought that that was impossible. To make things even better, he realized that the guard closer to his cell door had keys in his hand, lying only inches away from the bars. He easily reached the keys from his cell, and quickly made his escape.
Crescent Island was too boring for him, really. There really wasn't much to steal anymore, or at least nothing exciting. Everything had seemed kind of boring ever since the whole Dead Men affair. He looked out at the sea, and noticed a boat not too far from the shore.
And then an idea popped into his head. If he could just get onto the boat, things might get a little exciting after all.
The soldiers aimed their guns at Mira. That prompted him to quickly reload his own cargo onto the escape boat. He didn't bother to ransack the pirate ship, but focused on leaving with the escape boat and his own boat. He rowed as fast as he could, hiding from the soldier's line of sight, then made his way back home.
Mira thought on the way there. he hadn't been home in how long? Wait, that was Nimbuslus Island. Oh well, too late to turn back now.
After a certain amount of time, Mira saw Crescent Island, along with a boat that was closer to shore. He looked at the escape boat with goods, then looked at the boat closer to the island. An idea popped into his head. He looked at his escape boat, then sighed. He hadn't had the time to offload properly. He took about 30 minutes offloading his cargo from the escape boat to his boat.
The redhaired young man looked onward at the love of his life, his body encased in the shadows the tree he was standing next to cast. He chuckled slightly. How does she ever put up with all of them? He asked himself, staring at the children whom Jas was training. I'm sure I'd never be able to do it, right, Emit?... No response. Right... I almost forgot about that.
Harver had stayed in the Land of Emit for a few weeks, trying to repair the damaged land. The burnt houses and ravaged land would take years, maybe decades, to clean up. But, he had no doubt that eventually, it would be restored. But that was for another day. He simply watched Jas as she instructed. There's nothing else he could have wanted. No one else.
Jas holds back a sigh, and watches the young ninjas for a few more minutes, instructing them to do strike their targets several other ways before moving on to a completely different exercise. "Okay, you get a minute break," if they had been a bit older, she would have pushed them further, but the oldest one in this particular class was just ten.
'Who's bright idea was it to stick me with the little kids again?' She wonders, pulling out some equipment from her bag. Things aren't as bad as they could be though, in fact it's far better than predicted. Maybe it's that authoritative aura that demands respect... or maybe it's just the scary fangs. 'I think I'll go get a tequila after anyways...'
The ninja turns around, having sensed Harver near by for a while. "Hey!" She motions for him to come her way. "What'cha hiding from?" She asks playfully.
"Oh, nothing," Harver said with a playful smile at his lips, stepping out of his comfortable shady spot. "I was just remembering our time with Solon and the others a month ago," he explained. He touched the shoulder that had been injured during his "fight" with the blond. "He left me quite a nasty scar. Hasn't fully healed yet." By this time he was standing next to Jas, pondering about what had happened to all of their friends. "Where do you think they are, now?"
"Knowing them," Jas puts a finger against her chin, thinking. "I'm gonna guess that Venice is in jail, the Doublemint Twins are running and wrecking their own bar, Zarani and Kei are partying, and Solon's managed to fall so far into a hole that he's ended up on the other side of the planet." She says laughing at the images that went with each description.
"But really... I hate how everyone disappeared without a word." After half-expecting one of them to pop up out of nowhere Jas looks at Harver's injured shoulder. "Hmm, I could massage that better," now the girl is bearing that familiar grin of hers.
((to anyone still here, I g2g))
Harver smiled back. "Your impeccable timing never ceases to astound me," he said. He looked over the trees as the sun shone brightly above the field. He imagined himself being on the ship again, hearing Tanbar & Lanbar's drunk laughter... Zarani looking for the beer Tanbar and Lanbar had already consumed... Venice, being the wallflower he usually is... and Solon, being... well, Solon. There was no other way to describe the fool who constantly fell down holes, but was still a naturally born leader. Solon in a nutshell.
"...You know," he began, laughing again. "I have to say that your last theory actually happened. Somehow."
((Wallflower? Should I be offended? <_<))
Venice looked around for a boat or something to "commandeer" and ride to the bigger boat. Lying on the beach was a rowboat. How incredibly convenient. He found the oars discarded nearby and set off, rowing at a fast, but leisurely pace. As be travelled, he thought back on his previous adventure. In retrospect, it could actually be summarized fairly easily.
Solon falls down a hole, Solon falls off a roof, wild drunken party in hotelroom, random encounters with the servants of Michael Jackson's apprentice, Solon falls down holes, Jas is oblivious, the Wonder Twins get drunk, and Solon falls down holes.
He chuckled to himself. They had been idiots back then. Soon enough, he neared the boat. He quickly scrambled up the side, using his knife to make things easier by stabbing it into the side of the wood and pulling himself up. Soon enough, he made it to the deck and glanced around, doing his best to remain unseen.
When Mira finished offloading, he noted that the boat was sailing away. Mira was furious! I'll get you! Mira thought, as he turned his boat towards the boat sailing away, with the intend of boating the ship and killing whoever stole his boat! He could have made a nice amount of money from his growing collection of boats! He replaced his grappling hook with the boat's rope, then used his grappling hook to climb over to the boat that could of been his.
He made his way to the deck when he felt something weird. He carefully made his way to the source of life he was sensing. He pulled out his blades, just in case the subject was armed. The subject seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember why.
Solon began sliding down the mast, only to do what he always does, and slip and fall. "Crap!" he shouted as he did a flip in the air before landing on his feet. He stood there, completely stunned, and blinked a few times. "...Did I just... manage to... not fall while falling?" he asked himself. A grin escaped his lips, and soon he was full on laughing. "Oh man, I wish Venice had been here to see that!"
"Ahhh," he sighed after he he calmed down from his initial shock laughter of the feat he had just accomplished. "Er... Better go do some sailing stuff... Hope what Tanbar taught me about it will be enough to actually control this huge thing!" He was using the same ship that they had all been together on. With all the memories, he couldn't let it go. "...And I really need to stop talking out loud to myself," he mumbled, remembering he was alone.
He took one step forward before tripping over his own foot. "Whoa!" he shouted before falling flat on his face. "Ow... And thank god Venice wasn't here to see that..."
Venice turned around suddenly, and became aware of what appeared to be a ninja kid. He seemed familiar, though he couldn't quite remember from where. Then something clicked in his brain.
"MIRA?!" he exclaimed.
"HEY!" Mira exclaimed, as soon as he saw Venice. "What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Eh... Trying to escape sheer boredom," Venice admitted. "Stealing a boat was the first thing I could think of."
"After trying to steal a pirate ship (only to take the ship's escape boat)," Mira pointed to the grappling hook that was hooked on to a boat, which had a rope connected to another, smaller, rowboat, "I wanted to try to steal this done, then sell it later." Mira told Venice. "Oh! Speaking of which, is the owner of this boat onboard?" Mira asked, looking behind him after asking.
((Lulz Harver = oblivious to Jas' flirting.))
"Really? How would-" Jas is cut off by one of her more daring pupils.
"Jasi's got a boooyyyfriend! Ooooh look look!" The kid pokes at Jas, nimbly dodging her swipes. "Careful, she bites!" Then, some of the others start giggling a bit. The ones who have been learning under Jas just watch, mouths hanging open, waiting for what could happen next.
"You get back over there," Jas points in the direction of the other children, growling. "Or you're getting more push-ups. NOW!"
"Yes ma'm," the boy quickly runs off. He's gone faster than he appeared.
Jas sighs, then looks back up at Harver. "Their minute break is way past up. Guess this can wait until after the class. Gonna hang around?" She asks, nodding her head at the tree she spotted him standing by.
"Of course," Harver said, but then realized something else. "Actually, I just remembered that I have to pick up a few things from the stores downtown. I'll be back here before your lessons are over."
"Aah, alright," Jas picks up the rope she set aside before she let the mini ninjas go on break. "I'll see you later then," she gives Harver a quick hug before running back towards the grassy area, and calling for attention so she can start the next part of the lesson. When she is finished for the day, she can be found sitting under another tree, relaxing in the shade.

Well, I created numero dos. The sequel, Without a Trace, can be found here (http://www.nsfcd.com/forums/index.php?topic=30031.0) for those who want to participate.
I'll leave this open for a bit longer. And I've decided that I'll reopen it for continued use anytime I go on vacation and don't want you guys going on without me XD ))
((I told you reading it is fun. We could make money offa this. xD But if there's a movie, then I gotta play Jas myself. I dun want no stupid girly chick intercourse in' up my character. >.>
Yay for squeals!))
(( Yeah, I could take everything that's happened here, condense it into a script, send it to some directors/producers, email back and forth between them for a movie deal, get donations for a crew and equipment, get all you guys together, and start filming. XD ))
((Since I don't have red hair (or am his age), I wouldn't be able to play Harver. I'd want an unknown talent to play him... or, I could get my hair dyed and add extentions, wear platform shoes the entire time, and get serious makeup work on my face. Yeah... the former seems more likely. XD))
((Lulz Light with weave in his hair. xD Yeah, BoA disappeared, so we're going on with this until his return, if he ever does.))
Jas yawns as she carries her gear down the block towards her home. Having been bored after just returned from her journey, she yawns again. It's not like she didn't appreciate the calm, she just didn't like the boredom that came with it...
((How do I come into play?))
((You don't. You could be just wandering around...? Shit didn't think of that, but wandering around should work.))
((Technically, my character is 13 at this time. :P))
((Maybe he "ran away" from home?))
((Well...I think we'll just be playing the "alternate timeline/universe" card for this so it really doesn't matter.))
Lanbar stood in a park waiting for something to happen. What it was, he didn't know but he'd be darned if that something didn't happen.
A younger version of Jason could be seen walking through a nice neighborhood, watching a strange rundown house as he walked by.
'I'll never go THERE again,' he thought, thinking of his past experiences.
The building was an orphanage, and, as the name suggested, it was a home to orphans. It was rundown, however, and from the time Jason arrived there when he was 11, he knew it was bad. Being bullied didn't help either, as poor Jason left the home only two months later to live on his own. His only money was when he could beg. In his pocket? Only his pocket knife.
Back into the story, Jason heard footsteps as he was walking by. He then quickened his pace towards the end of the street, hoping that they would never put him back in there ever again.
((Oh, and the said knife mentioned in the story? Jason sold it to get a ticket to Sans Port.))
...and so Lanbar got bored of waiting for something to happen and decided that he'll just make something exciting happen himself. So he walked into a bar.
((It's gonna get even more empty cause I'm going on vacation in a few days. ._.))
Once Jas had dropped her equipment off at home, she wandered back out. She walks down the street, biting into a peach that she carried with her.
