[Nexus] The Wall V

[Ashen Lilies]

AUTOMATED MESSAGE:

The construction of the Evolution Industries Class 4 installation has been delayed indefinitely. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Giant explosions and rifts in space-time do tend to be pretty inconvenient, yes. What an embarrassingly catastrophic failure! No doubt the consequence of flawed design principles: we were all laughing about it in the office! I heard the hacks up on floor 31 got a better view of it though. I'll have to hijack their observatory some time.

This could get confusing.

[Lord Raziere]

Sigh.
Sigh.
Your plot line not starting either?
Nope. We both got made for plots yet they aren't happening ugh. now what do we do?
Speak for yourself, I got replaced by a catfolk with steampunk doodads.
Yea. too be far my good dragonfolk, you are kind of powerful.
Yes. probably not the RP for your kind of power, Zarakkan.
Hrmph. I will be going then.
So, what do we do, Miss Hujing? We need to make an entrance somehow.
I don't know about you Jenar, but I'm going to go kill some Grimm
Did a dragonfolk guy who sounded like me come by?
It was your imagination, Valcario.

[ThePhantom]

The Wall Witch doesn't understand what you are saying.

[Aric Kale]

Neither do I, Miss Witch.

Thatcher, if you're looking for me, I've been kidnapped, and [REDACTED]

Why would I be looking for you? Are you a pyromancer looking to join the Forged?

Trucido, I have seen that you are bewitching the minds of individuals with The Force. This will not stop me. I will take you back to Coruscant to face a fair trial.

[Darkcomet]

ooooh weird drama

CHALK FIGHT

[Recaiden]

Come and try it, fallen Jedi.

[Hattish Thing]

Trucido, I have seen that you are bewitching the minds of individuals with The Force. This will not stop me. I will take you back to Coruscant to face a fair trial.

I'm not bewitching anyone, you ignorant fool. They come to me willingly in order to learn the honorable practice of Sith Force Training. I don't expect you to stop your silly crusade against me...

But I do wonder just how far you're willing to go. I'm training women, children, cripples, fighters. I make them strong, and mighty, and confident. I give these people my knowledge and help create strong men and women, improving their lives.

I give them homes, training, and the equipment needed for survival in the harsh terrains of The Nexus. They are my students and my apprentices. Are you really so close-minded and cruel as to target them to?

Can you live with yourself, Garn?


Come anywhere near me... And I will defend my Academy and my students with my life.

[Aric Kale]

You call me fallen? What lies have Trucido Amare told you? The man you defend has murdered countless innocents, including his own-our own-Master. The man who gave us everything, and taught us all he knew.

I have no intention of targeting your students. Indeed, I would guarantee that no harm would befall them. As such, I will not be so foolish as to prepare an assault on your fortress, and risk endangering those under your control.
However, should you leave to cause more acts of villainy, I will be there.

[Darkcomet]

this drama smells like cults

I dont like it anymore

[Recaiden]

Only what you are. Who cares for your master and these supposed innocents? They were only humanoids.

[Arkhosia]

I'm very happy today.

[Darkcomet]

go back to facewall

Master Ai-Kal taught me all he could. And I respect that, and do to this day. However, he was teaching a lie. A lie spread for countless generations by your kind. He lost, and died well. The old fool was a fighter until the moment my blades severed him. That is a noble death. I gave him that.

"Acts of villainy"? I'm a teacher, a warrior, and a philosopher. Not a comic book character. Your lack of respect paired with your ignorance will be your downfall.

You're weak.

Mercenary robots for hire. No job too big -

What about killing a god? I don't think we could pull that off without Dad.

Well, Dad got killed by that soul-harvesting demon, didn't he? So we can't rely on his help any more.

Everyone, please shut up and let One do the presentation, or do I have to reprogram you again?

Come on, Four! I still can't so much as look at raspberries...

Three, you do recall what you did to him, yes?

It was just a joke, Five, come on! Two, back me up!

Sorry, sis, but you were over the line.

All of you, shut up! I am trying to make an offer of efficient, experienced mercenary service, and this is what you show them?!

Sorry boss.

Sorry.

I was trying to help!

Shut up, Four. Sorry, One.

I should think so!

Now then, as I was saying: we're a group of five experienced robot mercenaries in need of a job. Nothing's too big or small. We would prefer to work for good-aligned employers, but we aren't fussy, and once you get past the bickering, we're actually pretty efficient.

Hello fellow existent and non-existent beings. I muself exist, and am a ninja of high class. I would like to see more ninjas int he world, as there are few as of now. Of those few, only a few are good ninjas. Anyone seeing my point? Probably not.
I want there to be more good ninjas out there, so I have decided to open a school for ninjas. It is not yet open, for a good reason. If no one wants to join, I have no reason to waste time building it when I could be doing ninja stuff instead.
So, ninjas of the world, if you would like to be better ninjas, or you are not a ninjas, but would like to be one, say so here. Pick up a card below for contact information.
Below is a small box with business cards in it. Each one says:
Tau, Master Ninja
School of Ninjas
1 Ninja street, Inside

On the back it says:
Of course, this is not my real name, why would I give that to strangers.

When there are 5 or less cards left, the box will refill automatically.
((I posted in the OOC about this, but if you want to roleplay your joining or interest in joining, here you go.))

[Lord Raziere]

Oh! Ninja school! awesome. Can I teach? I'm so awesome at it, the names AZURE NADAKAI. I have fought many foes in my day. Including pirates. Whom everyone knows are destined to fight ninjas. always. Forever. Please can I please?
No, Sensei. No you can't. You struggle to teach ME. and I'm your only student!
Aaaaaw, Grasshopper, don't be like that. I have valuable pirate-fighting experience! Lesson One: Beware of straw-hatted rubber people.
No, I am determined to not let you torment anymore students with your foolishness, Sensei. I cannot let you
B-but but....GRAAAAAAAASSSHOPPER....
clonk! He goes out cold.
Sorry about him. He is a fool of a Sensei, but he is mine that I've been assigned, while it is my duty as a ninja to endure him as his apprentice, that does not mean I will let anyone else experience the same. Good bye, Tau.
She drags him away.

[Duck999]

I could teach him. And seeing that your training was not very good according to you, I could train you to.

[Lord Raziere]

I apologize, but it is the duty I, Venarys Nadakai have been assigned. I am loyal to my clan who assigned it. I must carry it out, no matter how much I dislike it. Especially if I dislike it. That is what a ninja is all about. I may not understand my orders, but as a ninja it is not my job to question them, it is my job to carry them out, to the best of my ability. I'm sure you understand.

[Arkhosia]

The plural of ninja is ninja, you know.

[Duck999]

The plural of ninja is ninja, you know.

Written in reply:
We are ninjas, not English Teachers, also...
In English, the plural of ninja can be either unchanged as ninja, reflecting the Japanese language's lack of grammatical number, or the regular English plural ninjas. Then again, I got this from one of the least trustable sources on the interwebs.

Right, ahem.

In the wake of the indefinite delay on the Class 4 facility, we at Evolution Industries will be shifting a number of concepts originally meant for it to a more mundane facility, a secure compound containing multiple Class 3 plants.

While these cannot support the same level of single-facility power as the Class 4, the combined power output will be more than sufficient for the needs of our customers, using the same power-beaming energy delivery system the Class 4 plans originally incorporated. As always, we remain committed to your safety.

On another note entirely, we're also releasing variants of our ion weapons for our exclusive customers, custom models made in the wake of the increase in AMENite aggression. These weapons should provide an extra punch against the Association's pet monstrosity*. Personally tested!

*Evolution Industries takes no responsibility for injury or death caused by use of ionic weaponry in hostile environments such as thunderstorms.

And, of course, there is a certain matter that goes beyond mere business. Magtok's recent attack on our administration building in Westside and his statements regarding his purpose in doing so.

I will make no apology for my original plans. I believed, and continue to believe, that protecting a known perpetrator of repeated attempted omnicide is the act of an idiot, and that Reinholdt's power-grabbing via his acquisition of Magtok's cloning technology can only have been an indicator of greater plans. While others do not agree, I have personally seen into his mind, and can tell you that yes...he was, and is, entirely capable of performing a longer term plan than his previous apocalypse attempts. And he has seemingly mended his ways only to turn on others again before.

The matter of Magtok, however, is more complicated. I cannot acquiesce to any of his demands for one simple reason:

I can't prove it.

Even if I were to forgive his stupidity and attacks, there is nothing I can do to prove that the nanite weapon he fears no longer exists, short of turning all of my facilities, and likely all of Watchtower as well, over to him and shooting myself in the head. Nanoscale devices are incredibly easy to conceal, and even if it was confirmed gone, he would likely argue that I was still capable of recreating it and using it at a later opportunity, which, technically, could be true. Thus the shooting myself in the head.

Needless to say, I have no interest in handing EI over to Magtok, nor do I have a desire to die. If this must be a war of mutual defense, I will fight it.

If he insists.

[Arkhosia]

... well ****.
There is no way I'm not getting involved indirectly, is there?

[Deathkeeper]

'Course there is. Walk away right now.

[Darkcomet]

I have absolutely no idea who you are, so I can't answer that.

[Hattish Thing]

Hm.

So, that technological looking weapon that was used against the AMENites abomination was yours? The giant lightning bolts and all? I must say, that was quite impressive.

I'd ally myself with you against AMEN if I wasn't sure you'd detest working with me. Most mortals seem to have difficulty working with one of my kind. I personally blame this society.

[Arkhosia]

'Course there is. Walk away right now.

No, I mean that I'm going to end up being dragged into the conflict whether I like it or not.

[Deathkeeper]

Or, you could walk away and not be involved. Don't see the problem.
