Powder Miner Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Navin had, just about as they were entering, followed the others -- after looking at the gigantic oddities of the parking lot and the eldritch strangeness of the restaurant himself (keeping his glances at certain areas fleeting lest they take a toll upon his mind), he was rather bemused. Well, and worried: his expression was something of a half-frown, the expression of a man who is uneasy but experienced enough with unsettling situations not to be in a panic. "Well, if this was our intended destination, then we would seem to be dealing with some sort of being rather... above our level. Hmm." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Liliya Liliya addressed Masaru. "Okay. I don't think smacking it's going to fix the problem." She followed up the stairs into the main body of the restaurant. The appearance was weird, unsettling. And on the subject of unsettling, there was the skeleton who had either cloned himself, or had some identical twins. Preferring to avoid the angry skeletons, Liliya moved to the vending machine, and began to inspect it, searching for an obvious way to extract food from it.

Hal Henderics Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) The Vending machine has a coil slot, coin return button, a numberpad going from 0 through 9, a slot in the bottom that snacks come from, and a 4 digit display. It seems one puts money inside the machine, then punches in 4 numbers to get what they want out of it. There is nothing indicating what food is in it, or even what numbers correspond to food, or any prices.

The Froggy Ninja Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) Feeling the gaze of barely restrained power pass over him Orville immediately enacts Standard Gremlin Strategy Number Two. "PLEASE DO NOT ENACT TERRIBLE VIOLENCE UPON MY PERSON OH GREAT AND MERCIFUL HUMAN!" In the blink of an eye he is on the ground groveling before Samantha.

Strider Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Liliya "We stopped here for a reason, so there's got to be a way for us to pay." Muttering under her breath, Liliya glanced around searching for any employee type folk who may be wandering around. If there is no one to be found, she then gets into line to wait and inquire about the currency type which the machine will accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Henderics Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 "And you listen here, If you can't even keep your filthy meat from being undead like my beautiful lich self, I have no intention of paying for it, now are you going to go get your manager, or am I going to have to make him come out?" "And you listen here, If you can't even keep your filthy meat from being undead like my beautiful lich self, I have no intention of paying for it, now are you going to go get your manager, or am I going to have to make him come out?" "And you listen here, If you can't even keep your filthy meat from being undead like my beautiful lich self, I have no intention of paying for it, now are you going to go get your manager, or am I going to have to make him come out?" The three skeletons speak in unison. "I'm sorry sir, but the manager is currently unavailable, can you please allow the other customers to make their orders sirs?" One of the register jockeys says, now Extremely nervous. "How Dare you, how disrespectful. Screw the other customers, I have eons more time than these peons, and I will use them however I please, now get, your, manager!" "How Dare you, how disrespectful. Screw the other customers, I have eons more time than these peons, and I will use them however I please, now get, your, manager!" "How Dare you, how disrespectful. Screw the other customers, I have eons more time than these peons, and I will use them however I please, now get, your, manager!" That Lich will make this problematic for anyone wanting to wait in line. It sounds like he has been here a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevaleresse Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Masaru drew himself up to full height. "Hey. How about you leave them alone, huh?

Hal Henderics Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 "Oh Trust me fleshbaby, there isn't ANYONE who can 'Deal with me'." He says, melding into a single skeleton, and getting into Masaru's Face. He shoves a hand into Masaru's chest. "Are you going to 'Deal with me?' You don't want that." He punks, his robe billowing dramatically around his bony frame. "Come back when you can cut like me chump." He says, turning his precious precious back on Masaru, walking back to harass the Cashiers more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormLord Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 As your eyes adjust to the strange room you begin to notice things you could have sworn weren't there before, decorations, tables, lesser beings hiding in the shadows, etc. all appear before you as you look around at the ever expanding room. One new feature that stands out the most is the advent of a staircase made of glass, hard-light, or some other mostly translucent material that leads up to a bar on a loft level that only covers about half the room. The only being you can see sitting at the bar is a large creature, nearly seven feet tall and half as wide, draped in a thick leather coat and leaning over some smoking beverage. Those who can detect magic even slightly would note a strange energy radiating from it, something unnatural to make your stomach twist, your skin crawl, and spine tingle.

Chevaleresse Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Masaru grabs at the skeleton's shoulder and starts to physically lift him up with seemingly no effort, his weapon held in the other hand. "I'm going to give you one chance to apologize, and thank me for not destroying you on sight." His voice was held low, not angry sounding - but threatening nonetheless. "I'm not exactly the kind of guy you want to be pushing around." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouts, Teleporting, and blasting the ground, the Catmonsters push a button on the counter, and the vending machines and counters slide into the floor, the crowd scatters as his concussive blast pushes them away. He rips a pile of raw hamburger meat out of the ground, animating it with fell energy. It floats up and around him, forming a ring with legs, with him standing smugly in the center of it. The Crowd forms a circle and begins shouting in various languages. a pair of three masses of tentacles take out samsung phones and begin recording.

Chevaleresse Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 "Oh, you actually want to do this, then? Then don't say I didn't warn you, bastard!" Masaru enters a stance with his sword held end-up behind him, almost like a stylized version of a batter getting ready for a swing. Bolts of lightning crackle in the air around him as he does so, bouncing off of the cheap, questionably sanitized surfaces near him.

Chevaleresse Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 "Now you'll know what it means to face down Yamaguchi Masaru!" He launches into a series of three strikes; two diagonal cuts, descending, and a third thrust straight to where the lich's heart would be if he still had flesh, all executed at a speed that seemed highly improbable with the size of the weapon being used. Dragon's Rage, hit the Rap Archlich all three times, take 48*.2 = 10 damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powder Miner Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Navin instinctively got into an evasive position when the concussive blast rang out, but when he saw the summoning of the bizarre meat monster and the beginning of the unfolding of the fight, he began to move. "Two on one isn't exactly fair, is it? Perhaps it would be best that we even things out a little, hmm?" Navin leaps into the fight, taking a couple of wind-up steps and then jumping at the meat monster, straightening out his fingers and preparing to send the force of his explosion out into a tightly-controlled blast from their points -- and then sending that hand towards the strange hamburger-meat creature.

Yours Truly Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Michael Mot In the meantime the motorcyclist had reached the imposing looking door of the castle, and he stepped off of his motorcycle to start his walk towards it. Not a lot of people were fond of the idea of a Motocycle tearing up inside of their home, and the motorcyclist was looking forward to introducing himself to the owners of the castle. Which is why anyone looking at the outside of the castle would notice a white motorcycle impatiently moving forwards and backwards on it's own, while an entity that is most likely it's rider is knocking rather loudly on the doors of a freakish hybrid of a tank and a castle. As an afterthought he put on his plausibly French accent as he tried to say in the most peaceful tone he could muster "Is there anyone home?".
