Re: Outside 43: Where the sun hurts your eyes and burns your skin
The Tower- Second Floor
Noted.
Hotaru grabs the raider by the front of his shirt and slams him a few times in the ground, then tries to manoeuvre him into a chokehold. "Start spouting some quality info, buddy. If I like it, I might not crush your windpipe."

Heck knows she mentioned children to tug at his heartstrings. That doesn't make it any less false.
"How else can I make us both happy, Judy? Don't want you running off, now." He says, a small grin on his face.

Assuming she succeeds in immobilizing the bandit: "Easy there, sexy ninja lady," says Phil, walking up with one hand still on his mask and wound. "I would like a chance to have a chance at interrogation. I've never really had a chance to, though I have studied techniques... especially in my necromancy and Power classes." Phil faces the man, pulls off the mask, allowing the blood to spill out. He places his bloodied hand back on the wound. Healed, he focuses a mid-grade charge. [chaos-human skin]
"You know, we don't have to kill you," he says, "but we can do much worse than kill you, if you don't cooperate. I could turn you into all sorts of creatures. One body part at a time, no need for things to be natural. I also have some delicious curses you could sample. I once saw a man's mouth moved to his feet."

Re: Outside 43: Where the sun hurts your eyes and burns your skin
[The Woods]
"It's a short term detriment for a long-term benefit. I'd estimate maybe.. Three or so days on the outside.." Riss said, making a last push for her side of the conversation. Really, there couldn't be anything so desperate that just a few days would result in the world coming to an end... Comparatively, of course. "Maybe if there ever comes a time where you'd have a few days of rest or something.." she said, ending with a bit of a shrug. She didn't feel like pushing the issue too much would result in anything more than resistance so she felt leaving it at that would be fine.
"I mean.. I could probably make a sleave of some kind that could just work on a local area so that you wouldn't have to give up days at a time but it wouldn't do much to help you in the long-term." she added as the thought came to her. It was the boring option, though, as that was just like applying a bandage that only fixed the surface problem. Really, it was a little puzzling to her that someone wouldn't want to enhance themselves and cite such a stipulation in the process when the benefits were so comparatively much greater. She would have to ask Mimi about that later.

"Well I'm not sure. Perhaps you could just allow me to do my job, if you don't wish to sign the fulfillment contract. But I won't fight you until my obligation as the employed is over. If you are worried I won't spar with you after you have signed and paid, then I give you my word. Now, perhaps that won't mean much to you, seeing as you know I'm an assassin. But it's actually former assassin. I was redeemed and saved by the Good League of Good, and am a card-carrying member." she reaches behind her back once again, and pulls out a small card with the official GLoG logo on it. It's kinda old, like she hasn't used it in a looooong time. "If you wish, we could visit there to see if anyone's around to confirm it for you."
One thing Heck might notice, is that she doesn't have a backpack, and there is no room in the bodysuit she's wearing to stash a card, much less the letter and pen she pulled out earlier.

Now there's no smoke, they can see the chap much better. He's wearing a buttonless Hawaiian shirt, a pair of battered black trousers and a mismatched pair of trainers, in addition to the heat-vision goggles on his face. "Oh, aye. Y' threaten death first off, when y' should threaten pain. If I dun' talk, an' y' kill me, I never talk again. Y' threaten pain, an' y' can apply it in liddle bits on th' way up to the full till I talk. B'sides, neither of y' have said what y' want me to say, so, I guess the sky's blue 'coz of light refraction. The term 'Quisling' originates from the dude the Nazis made Prime Minister o' Denmark in World War Two. The Ironborn of Westeros worship the Drowned God, an' dun' like the old faith o' the First Men nor the Seven o' the Andals. An' I killed your kitten, flensed it an' ate its writhin' flesh. Delicious." The man grins with the last.
Phil, meanwhile, has healed his injuries! But now has a different skin tone.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Arlem has led Ross and Shaneir to a meeting place well well outside the city, in the direction of Riverside, where they meet a tall androgynous person in a suit, with a scheming look in their eye.
"Have fun, Ross."

Re: Outside 43: Where the sun hurts your eyes and burns your skin
"We're going to see an old blind man," says Achka's chauffeur as he brings his great dark beast around another frost-bit bend. There's a certain oily grace in the way he turns the wheel, in the way his arms shift. "If I told you where it is he lives, you wouldn't go."
A beat. "I'm sure it's not your soul he wants," the lord says again, in the same amiably bored tone a chatty cabby might use with his passenger. "At least, not in an abstract sense. Just what's giving your soul to someone mean to you?"My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

"I had no problem with your being an assassin, Judy. I had as many assassin friends as enemies." Heck takes the card and studies it.
"Your inventory is awfully large for someone not carrying a backpack." He mutters as he returns the card to the former assassin.
He waves a hand away. "Fine, do your job so we can spar, have more drinks and let you go visit your child. Sorry for trying to make it fun for you, as well." He points to the forest. "I've noted the location of this forest, now where else of interest is there? Perhaps, a place where I can spend the night, or something."

Luna grins. "That's an awesome idea, but I've got something even better.
Using her powers, she electroshocks his brain, trying to induce the area that'll cause him to blab the truth against his will. She tries not to wince at Phil's different skin tone.

"Okay, I'll just have to wait for a chance another time. I don't suppose it's that important," says Phil, not entirely sure what she's talking about. "What did you want to ask him, anyway? What's above us in this tower, what happened to the people who were here before them, or maybe what's up with the decor in this tower? Seriously, what's up with this place, even the Power mages that I've worked with had less disturbing tastes."

Re: Outside 43: Where the sun hurts your eyes and burns your skin
The Beach
Tyrael leads Michalson to the rocky shores near Inside; the sky overhead, the sky is grey and overcast. "THis is where I ran aground," he says, gesturing at the wreck. "I'm not a professional, but it doesn't look like the damage is irreparable to me - assuming I can find someone to do the work, and a way to pay them."Tyrael

"Is someone there?" says a muffled voice, from one of the orbs?
"I'm still here," says another voice, likewise muffled.
"I know you're there, I mean anyone outside. Someone useful. I hope it's not another dog..."
"Dogs are beautiful creatures."
"You said that about snakes and spiders too. I want something I can converse with."
"I'm still here."
"I take it back! Let it be a dog, but slobber on him next time, just to shut him up!"

"You can only release one of us, and Raxus won't keep any promises he makes."
"Yes I will."
"Oh yeah? Care to tell them how we got in here?"
"Because you never show restraint and keep crossing lines until there aren't any left to cross..."
"For a fundamental force of creation you show a remarkable lack of vision. And you refused to do the job you promised to do."

Re: Outside 43: Where the sun hurts your eyes and burns your skin

The guy's brain is shocked! No idea how well it works until somebody asks a question. Which Phil then handily provides. "Dunno what she wants t' ask. Dunno what's up, either. Th' boss assigned us all floors, an' we all got orders t' kill anyone comin' up th' Tower who we din't already see go down. We killed 'em all, cept for Hermy an' 'er brother. She signed up, an' he was 'er admission fee. We added th' graffiti, an' some of th' stains, but those doll 'eads were 'ere first. I din't really kill your kitty." He's a bit dazed and confused, but the answers are all true, if either have any way of telling.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

"Break the orb, naturally," says Raxus
"I don't know if you can though," said Arcus. "Maybe you could smash it against a rock, or maybe it needs to be shattered by magic, or some code word. We don't know."
"Free me though. I can promise that I won't betray you."
"Of course you can, because you won't do anything at all. I can create for you anything you want."
"You were never so powerful. I can create anything you can create."
"But you never will, because you don't have the grit."Last edited by Nalix; 2015-08-02 at 04:09 PM.

Hotaru looks apologetically at Phil, before the guy starts talking.
"Of course you didn't kill my kitty, or you'd see a side of me I very rarely show anyone. Now, good talk, nighty-night!" She delivers a shock to the guy's brain, targeting his memory centre and attempting to wipe it.
Afterwards, she'll whisper an apology to Phil, then search the bodies. Hey, they might see something useful!
