Re: [Nexus] That Day Has Come
Ah, but he didn't.
In order to launch his attack on Allen, Tirin had to first establish a mental link. And in that link he got an excellent look at Allen's psyche. Or rather, the shattered facsimile of one. Allen was not a healthy man even before Tirin's attack. Despite the niggling physical infections he had picked up in his hellscape of a homeworld, the worst of Allen's afflictions was one he had been crippled with from birth.
Psychopathy. The ugly sickness crippling Allen's mind, keeping him from experiencing any of the deeper emotions. Keeping him from ever loving or empathizing with someone.
Tirin essentially did the mental equivalent of throwing a man in a wheelchair down a flight of stairs."You tied your wings on tightly but they always come undone"

"Fair enough," he says, setting the box on the floor. "They're kind of terrible crackers, anyways. Taste like dried parchment."
With that observation, the necromancer sets about doing his actual work. He lifts the tray out in front of him, using the same telekinetic multitasking trick as he did with the tome to lock it in mid-air. Reaching out to place one of the bowls in front of him with one hand, he pulls a small assortment of components from one of his pouches. They all appear to be what one would expect to find in an ink-making kit, and portions of gum arabic, solvent and other assorted powders are placed in the bowl, followed by a splash of a red pigment. Saurous then pulls another object from his belt: a brilliant transparent crystal. He holds the stone up to the light between his thumb and forefinger for a few moments, before sighing and holding it over the bowl. A pulse of crimson energy flows down his arm, striking the gem held between his fingers and shattering it with a loud PSHKOW. A small amount of glistening dust is knocked loose from the crystal, drifting down into the bowl. The necromancer spends a few minutes in this position, the infrequent pulses slowly reducing the gemstone to powder.

Re: [Nexus] That Day Has Come

Nach'tt nods and makes sure to keep the gun always pointing away from people and anything else that would be a bad thing to hurt. The MechaniKobold and the Wolfhound with a tongue of green fire will follow along with the others and try to keep an eye out for dangers and potential good things. Like candy, candy is good.
[Inside]
Rahona seems a bit unsure whether she was answered or not but decides that it will be cleared up in time and will follow Raven wherever they're headed. She does whisper a few kinds of respects for the dead to Raven's brother.
The respects are probably not of any sort that Raven would recognise, but its quite certain that Rahona is saying them to honour the dead and not because of faith. She kind of dropped religion after the sixth time she accidentally got worshipped as an angel.

Re: [Nexus] That Day Has Come
First, I truly hope that I'm not intruding on this thread but I want to use this [Nexus] specific guy that I made...so I hope that it is ok if I join in, and if it is ok about where I choose to have him enter.
MagMart-Parking Lot
A flash of light happens but it is gone as soon as it appears. In its place a large iron statue standing 9' tall looms in the parking lot. The concrete under it cracks under the imense weight of the Golem. It looks around, the sound of whirring gears rolling as it turns from side to side. It notices Elena and Tirin.
I am Golem. I am a Guardian. I lost my "friend" and I want to find her. Can you help me?
It waits quietly for a response.

Re: [Nexus] That Day Has Come
((It's perfectly fine, Craftworld. Welcome to our little doomsday. A word of advice - don't get too attached to your character. He's probably going to be dead when all this is over.))
MagMart - Parking Lot
After the Golem's entrance, Ace's is somewhat less dramatic. Since he's not not actually attempting to make it flashy or exciting, the tall, wiry man poofing into existence behind the nine foot golem is rather understated.
He's a not unattractive figure. His brown hair is pulled into a ponytail, covered in a thin green and cream coloured wrap that resembles a Chinese finger trap, matching the sleeve that covers his right arm. He wears an old, indigo vest over his chest, which is currently buttoned up halfway, as well as a pair of pants that are covered in so many patches that it's near impossible to tell what the original fabric was. An eyepatch covers his right eye, with two scars running past the bottom and curling together.
Ace makes his way into the parking lot with a swagger to his step, almost jarringly out of place in the doom and gloom of the ravaged city. Peering around, he spots the golem immediately. He approaches it just in time to hear the last half of its sentence, coming to a stop behind it. "Sorry to interrupt," he pauses, his brow furrowing in momentary thought, "sir, but you mentioned you were missing someone?" He leans around the golem, pointing at the supermarket entrance. "From what I've gathered, pretty much everyone is gathering or trying to make their way here. Maybe she's in there?"
[hr]
Beckett's Clinic
Beckett leads the way down the stairs, into the waiting room that makes up the entrance hall. By the front door are all the bags he and Iriel packed the previous night. There's a markable difference in weight between the bags Iriel will be carrying and the bags Beckett will be carrying, but that's just logic. A Delta Force soldier is going to be able to carry more than a teenaged girl.
As he reaches the bottom of the stairs, Beckett begins to speak. "Alright, listen close. You're going to be walking in front of me, and Nach'tt and his pet are going to be walking in front of you. <Nach'tt, you and dog walk frontwise of me and Iriel.> No matter what, don't do anything that will draw attention to you. If you need my attention, don't say anything or make any noise. Lift your left hand like this," Beckett demonstrates, holding his left hand clenched and a fist and up by his shoulder. "<Do this if need to speak. Try not make noise or sound.> When I say 'left', turn left. When I say 'right', turn right. When I say 'wall', get up as close to the nearest wall as you can and try to find something to hide behind. <When say> 'left' <go leftwise. When say> right <go rightwise. When say> 'wall' <get close to building side.>"
As Beckett speaks, he hands Iriel her packs, helping her get them on if need be. Once she's geared up, Beckett pulls on his own backpack and belt-bags before making his way over to the wall behind the reception desk. He presses his palm against a section of the wall, and pushes aside a panel to show a hidden vault sunk into the wall. There is a combination lock which is quickly opened, and the vault door swings open to reveal a small armoury. A combat rifle and a shotgun lay on a pair of racks, and a second pistol hangs in the doorway, as well as several clips of ammo and holsters for the pistol and the shotgun. The combat rifle has a strap from which it hangs, which Beckett pulls over his shoulder so it hangs crossing over the strap of his medical bag. The holsters are strapped on and the respective weapons are loaded and slide inside, and Beckett puts as much ammunition as he can into his waist-bags. By the time he's ready, he's finished his speech, and turns to face Iriel and Natt'ch. "Understood?"
[hr]
MagFirmary
Moon Called watches as Saurous prepares for the spell, morbidly curious. Was she nervous? By the Hells, yes she is. She's about to get her bloody arm melted off in a ritual she didn't understand. She had no idea if it was going to hurt or not, and she wasn't really willing to ask out of suspicion the answer would be 'yes, quite a bit'. But, quite typically, the Ice Elf did her very best not to let her discomfort show, watching her lover with an expression of grim curiosity.
When he pulls out the diamond, though, her expression changes dramatically. Her eye widens, before a smirk pulls at her lips and her eye narrows. Looking down, she lifts her good hand, studying the ring finger intently.
"You know, dear," she says, dryly amused. "If you just carry those big rocks around with you, I have to wonder why I'm not seeing one on my finger...""You tied your wings on tightly but they always come undone"

Re: [Nexus] That Day Has Come
Missy responds on instinct, hitting the deck, while protecting the two civvies with her body. It likely isn't terribly comfortable for the civvies in question. Heck, if she dropped the full weight of her power armour on them, it'd possibly be fatal. But it's definitely more comfortable than tentacle acid or the rubble that's going to be flying everywhere once the main segment hits.

Missy and company will find little in the way of debris hitting them as a shadowed figure suddenly appears standing above them. Edijar is hunched over slightly, and has his shield deployed. He grunts as a rather large piece bounces off, but otherwise seems okay.

What is it about robot-like creatures? They always seem to pick whenever is going to be perfectly timed to ruin important moments.
He tries to disengage from Elena gently, continuing to hold her up if she needs him to.

Re: [Nexus] That Day Has Come
((First, thank you for letting me join. Second, I am fine with Golem dying because I created it to protect people...and in the process gave him weapons sorta like the blades that Optimus Prime has in the Transformers movies. Lastly, I appoligise for ruining the moment between Tirin and Elena...not the most thought out plan that my life has had thus far.))
MagMart Parking Lot
Golem looks down at Ace, and as it does so he sees a glint of golden light near where its neck joins with its body...is it a pendant, a necklace? It looks like it is trying to tell if he is lying but it being made of metal, it is hard for Ace to tell. Then satisfied with its attempt to sense deception it looks up towards the MagMart and nods.
Maybe she is...I hope that she is. I have not seen her since the siege.
A sense of sadness can be detected in the Golem's voice as it says this. Golem begins to walk towards the MagMart, cement buckling slightly under its weight.Last edited by Craftworld; 2011-09-04 at 08:44 AM.

Re: [Nexus] That Day Has Come
Iriel will heft up her bags. She puts on a backpack, fanny pack, and a tote bag or small duffel bag over each shoulder. When she sees all the guns, she makes a "wow" face, but says nothing.
After the explanation, Iriel nods. "This," She holds up her left hand in a fist, "if I want to speak. Otherwise, complete silence. If you say 'left,' we will take the left path. If you say 'right,' we will take the right path. If you say 'wall,' get to cover or flatten yourselves against the wall. Right."
This is the utmost in five-minute stealth training. Honestly, if more escort missions could begin with setting a number of commands for your escortee, many video games would be much easier.

"Since I didn't mention Were-kin, and the only ones I saw there were of tigerish descent, clearly you do know something."
He pauses for a moment, and his voice gets softer when he next speaks. He tries to pull her into a hug.
"Look, if there's a good reason you can't tell me, can you at least tell me what it is?"

"Well. I wasn't expecting that. But I'm glad she's alive. Which clan?"

Nach'tt nods and tries to repeat the instructions as good as he can.
"(Lift left arm if I want to speak, turn left if you say "Left" and right if you say "right". Run to nearest building side if you say "wall")"
Mitta simply nods and prods the MechaniKobold to remind him of the first instruction.
