  1. Lizaveta starts out with a perhaps predictable opening, but a bombastic one nonetheless. "He needs to die." "...but I can agree that it is best for the people of Ulux to have a chance to do it themselves. I'm from Vini, this kingdom's neighbor -- many aspects of life here are the same there, and it's because of people like Darcy and the aristocracy and merchantry of Perus that life is such unending misery. So suppose that we leave him alive, and just try to put him behind the queen. He is a king, and he is a manipulator, and he has been a king and a manipulator for a long
  2. Navin let out a frustrated sigh, looking down at how his outfit was heavily stained with his blood and a whole lot more of the spirit’s blood. The exact same scenario, hmm? Navin really wasn’t looking forwards into plunging back into it, because if he had to fight again so soon after... after really having lost control like he had... well, he worried that he would potentially snap again. But then again... he was a hero, wasn’t he? He traveled the world and now worlds to protect the innocent and, especially, those too weak to protect themselves, didn’t he? He plunged through lairs and fought su
  3. Perlita sighed and allowed herself to crouch down a little in the time that Mira’s dispatching of Brave took — it was only a precious few seconds, of course, but she needed absolutely any time she could manage to snatch to decompress. She knew that sue was going to have to tend to some people after the battle, of course... but it was just exhausting to sling so much healing magic with so little break. There was a bone-deep weariness that using one’s Persona for too much magic always imparted, and Perlita in particular almost always found herself in that state sooner or later. At home it had be
  4. Still trembling somewhat, Navin only responded to Heidrun’s request with a shaky nod and silence, finding himself unable to easily speak for the moment after experiencing... that. That feeling had... it had been artificial, of course, some sort of magical effect that the ghost had put on him, but the shock of it remained still. It had been... Navin had thought that he would have been long beyond experiencing that sort of anger, he supposed. It had been a long, long, long time since he had allowed himself to feel like that. He had his dharma, after all... would he be able to protect others if h
  5. Isobel stood there still and silent for a long, long time. Eventually, though, she spoke... still seeming rather shellshocked. "So." She let out a disbelieving little laugh. "I guess I'm in Hell, then." She let that statement lie there for a few moments. "Yeah. I, umm-- I-- I am technically Catholic. So. Uh... I'm not... I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to react to this, just..." She waved her hands vaguely at their surroundings, before a thought occurred to her and she laughed -- a little strainedly, but still mostly genuinely. "I guess the gays really do go to hell, huh, heh heh heh. I k
  6. Finally, finally, Eulalia was healed enough to pull herself to her feet, albeit still bleeding heavily. Wiping some of it off of her face with a sleeve (for the blood from the wound on her chest had reached it while she was lying there bleeding for agonizing minutes), Eulalia scowled rather intensely. "What a terrible pain in the ass. I take it back, I'm not going to feel bad about it when I start taking you lot out." Unfortunately, there was not much that she could really do, here -- everything that would have been vulnerable to her magic was quite done for, leaving only
  7. Bend made to say something as Lotus called him over, but he was plenty capable of recognizing a finger to the lips, at least, so the black ant just shrugged and did his best to silently dance in wooden armor instead -- not easy, though the way he rubbed his thumb along one of two symbols of magic on his flute indicated that he was still using it for some form of magic anyhow. Lotus is refreshed! Lotus herself made something of a judgement call, deciding that the quieter one of the two non-armored bugs was probably the smarter of the two -- in any ways, an astute observation. A
  8. Lizaveta let out a little laugh as she watched Darcy rave and rant and try to fight back. Behind her mask, though it couldn't be seen, her grin took on a little bit of a sadistic quality. "You still don't get it, do you, King Darcy? You're done. You're dead. Your disgusting reign is finally going to come to an end here. Your reinforcements can't make it in --good job, Ficus, and Knight, Phoenix, Mink!--, you yourself are being struck down piece by piece, and there are no signs of anything on the horizon to change that. Don't you understand? Not only is your reign going to come to an
  9. Satomi ate one of the Royalberry Cookies (for +1 ESS), with an expression that was remarkably dour the entire time for somebody who was currently in the process of eating a delicious cookie. She was being exceptionally stubborn, at that moment — Kusuke’s statement that stopping to occasionally take some “little things” in was one that probably everyone would find, but Satomi was refusing to take that piece of advice in, or at least trying to. After all, he didn’t understand — it was her Duty that she was dealing with here, she couldn’t slow down. Still, though, it wasn’t actually l
  10. Slowly, hesitantly, one at a time, Stretch opened his eyes. It... didn’t seem like he’d been beaten up again. He also hadn’t had any really big holes blasted in him. Actually, it didn’t seem like him and the really small magic girl had been attacked at all this time around. Well... that was good, then! He really hadn’t actually wanted to get hurt like that again, he really really hadn’t, even if he’d been willing to stand in front of the good zombie lady to make sure that she didn’t get hurt like she had been hurt again. But did he have to do it again? Stretch looked around at the state of the
  11. Nader looked askew at Proditor for a moment. ”I don’t think you quite understand what’s going on, Proditor. I’m not going to be fighting him. No, it’s...” Nader sighed. ”just solving multiple problems. It’s best for everyone if you step out of the way.” He looked up at Asgore, now, and he get his teeth grit as much of his being instinctively recoiled from just what he was doing. ”Make it quick. Before my mind changes itself.”
  12. Nader, often, remembered his childhood. He had not lived in one of the big cities, and he'd only seen electricity two times by the age of 13, when it finally came to the desert city of Al-Takbir, the city that his village laid ten miles from the outskirts of. Instead, what young Nader Jabal had known were simple things -- the dunes. Watching his father diligently working under some rich city man's car, making just enough to be alright without being luxurious. Learning, step by step, to do some of the same things, though he never truly worked on a car. Eating with his family. And his few years
  13. Nader watched Asgore slowly move away from Lucine, and he allowed him to do so, some level of tension drained from him as well. Then, Nader had something to say, staring directly at Asgore as he did. ”Ah, good. Thank you from moving away from the kid. You know... I saw that little display you put up. I know what you did and the killing and the SOULs and of course the experiments for revenge in time and determination and karma and even a broken king is still a king and we won’t die so LET’S BEGIN!” The last words were a roar, a half a second before another loud, loud BOOM filled the enclosed sp
  14. All of a sudden, quite a few things happened at once, a bewildering array of new events and people. The strange beings unleashed another round of attacks — and suddenly, Nader felt himself moved, as a large being shoved him out of the way, leaving the armored man reeling, too overwhelmed to make much sense of the situation. He stared wide-eyed under his mask as the large newcomer seemed to just cause the incomprehensible beings to go away by speaking, and he stared for a long moment. ...one of the new people was Lucine, he could see that, but the other one... a monster, he could se
  15. Although he'd been willing to let out shouts and grunts, the armored bug on the receiving end of so many assaults still didn't evidently see fit to respond with words, whether that be through inability or simply through unwillingness to speak, not even as a massive bird began to run him down. Ebon Knight attacks "Elite" Plunderer B! The bug was an impressively stoic one, to be sure, even at the end -- he let out another loud grunt as the lance made impact, and for a moment he stayed on his feet despite the powerful impact... but after a few seconds, he toppled backwar
  16. Nader stared half-uncomprehendingly at the beings -- the attacks had appeared to do gouts of damage to at least one of them, not to mention that the mind ability of the psychic space alien appeared to have been viciously effective as well... but he could tell no visible difference in the shifting, terrifying things afterwards. He supposed that he just had to hope that his bullets mattered, and dig in and fight the damned things. The attack that they had --faces, from the damned ground-- hadn't been used on him yet, and weren't yet too much of a problem, but that was a risk that he could not ta
  17. "W- WHA- whwha- the- the FUCK IS-- wha-- ff--" Sufficiently terrified by the eldritch beings that his speech lost all coherency, falling apart into stumbled words and slurred syllables, it was probably little surprise to Proditor that Nader reacted the way he did. His words might not have been working... but hopefully his guns would, with the loud bark of gunfire filling the True Lab. One of the sounds was deafening, the distinctive BOOM of the Horsekiller firing a .60 bullet at one of the Memoryheads, while the roar of a machine-gun was paired with it, bullet after bullet spat out as the Sorr
  18. Nader seemed to take a while just absorbing and mulling over the knowledge that he'd seen. "This is becoming something of a large sidetrack, all of this business with DETERMINATION... we know that he ascended into broken godhood, that is just established fact by this point, but he seems to spend a lot of time on this. Perhaps... this is actually related to HOW he attempted to ascend?" Nader took another moment to think, just staring at one of the lab entries, shockingly unaware of the world around him for a while. "He speaks of time travel here... attempting to use raw human willpower to trave
  19. Walking through the hallway, his head turning left and right to take in the screens mounted on the walls... Nader, of course, had his answers for all of it, and had them almost immediately. His voice was smug, triumphant, except that it wavered with clear confusion at several points before Nader seemed to push himself back into that triumphant state of mind. "Proof, you see? Do you not see? The writing is clear on the wall. It was-- the work came from-- it was a grudge against humans, after all. So, KARMA.. a punishment, of course. They came up with a punishment that they intended to use on hu
  20. Finally, finally, Navin no longer had to spend so much willpower to prevent himself from attacking the damned thing, and like a released bowstring his entire body snapped into a powerful, vicious motion, thrumming with tension and energy. The circulation of power in his arms was full, and there was not a damned thing that was going to stop him from tearing this bastard corpse into tinier and tinier and tinier and tinier pieces -- with a savage roar, a scream that rose from his throat and dominated the space of the room, that continued on for far longer than it would seem to anyone that it shou
  21. Isobel let out an airy, dramatic sigh at some of Yukari's words. "Come now, surely at least some of it was amateurish gracefulness, no? Some of us are quite agile." There was a pause as Isobel recalled more or less getting the shit beaten out of her by Marisa, and her faux-smug expression faded a little. And then she recalled the plan that ended with LOTUS getting eaten, and involving her getting into a lot of arguments with fucking Rory. Her expression faded a little more. And then she recalled the chaotic hellhole of a fight that the battle with Reimu had become, involving slapping people an
  22. Lizaveta couldn't help but rub her hands together and grin behind her full-face mask. "This is going to feel good, I think. Finally we get to make a real lasting change in the world... we get to bring some justice into it, for once. I've been wanting to rid the world of people like this man for a very, very long time." And she began to advance. G7
  23. Lotus' (justified, given Stardust's typical behavior) exasperation with Stardust did not stop her from continuing the fight, and she raised her bow at one of the two armored Marauders serving as guards for Shinywings and Seeker-of-a-Dignified-Death. Lotus attacks "Elite" Plunderer B! With a brief twang and a thwip a second or so later, the wooden arrow managed to crack the equally wooden chestplate that the Marauder was wearing -- and judging by the deep grunt that followed, it had also pierced enough to do damage. Still, though, Lotus' armored for simply squared his
  24. Lizaveta let out a quiet scoff at Baldur's jab at her. "But Orchid... does this not prove me right? This is the true form of the world under aristocracy, and the kings and (some of) the queens of Purgus merely are the pinnacle of the exploitation and rot. The king of Ria kills and maims, strikes down those who he has decided he has displeased with. The king of Gul steals the bread from the mouths of his subjects for no other reason than to brag that he has it. The rulers of Perus keep their foot on the neck of the world, trying to rule all through murder and fear and despair and pov
  25. Satomi nodded to herself as the master of these two animals called them, clearly quite pleased with the timely resolution of the situation. "Well, that certainly is convenient -- that would put the whole deal with these pets to rest, yes? Now we can do..." Here Satomi paused, frowning, now forced to confront something she'd earlier mentally remarked on. "What do we do, now? Does anyone know what tasks need to be done here, any other minor errands aside? I'm sure there must be something worth our efforts here. I do not want to be sitting idle again... at least that previous, barren place had so
