[color=00aeef][h1][center]Pied Piper[/center][/h1][/color] [h1][center]Academy, Night Time[/center][/h1] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/DATC6tH.gif[/img][/center] [b][u]The Bard of Famine and Pestilence [/u][/b] After the long road trip that he and his master Enzo have, they finally reach their destination. It was an unusual experience for Piper to ride his master's car, especially with the cramped spacing he shared with his master's henchmen, not only that but The rat king is concerned about his master's driving on his expensive wagon. He continues to flaunt his wealth on the poor folks while almost not keeping his eyes on the road as he goes. It was both a terrifying and fun experience for Caster while they are traveling. It was nighttime, The stage is set for the mystical Bard to play his alluring hymn. It's time to get busy. Domination and Famine; The two essence of Piper's goal towards the city of Japan. [color=00aeef][Collector C] [/color] His network of commando rats are quick, his rats are nimble, his rats steal from farms to cities, ransacking their produce of Japan in the nearby lands. Mostly the Western farms and the native district. In about a half a week, The city would realize that the food supply has been scarce and drastically decreasing ever since the fire incident began. If the cursed fire won't kill the half population of Japan, the aftermath of scarce of necessity and lack of food will and Enzo and his henchman will be fed bountifully from what Caster reap from the nearby lands. [color=00aeef][Symphony of the Rat King][/color] The bard in the colorful clothing's jovial concert isn't done yet, He kicks it up a notch like a rockstar, doing a killer flute solo and starts playing rapidly on his pipe, Dropping his latest single on the school's confine to feast into their uncultured ears to hear. The sound of his mystical flute echoes through the academy as well, the overworked teachers heard it in their offices and suddenly have the urge to follow orders from Piper's charm spell. As of now, the stragglers, students who are working hard their thesis just to get a passing grade from their merciless prof and the people within the confines of the academy in these late hours are now under Piper's control. Think of it as the school is under new management and A man dress in colorful robe is now the new principal of this academy. [color=00aeef]Come forth and take refuge, my children... God has abandoned you.. with my music, I shall guide you to salvation.. into the world that no one knows... "False Paradise"[/color] The rat king continues to play his flute to establish his noble phantasm, securing the area, erecting a reality marble, adding some fortification on his new territory. His new other world is better and much more secure than his previous one, The flow of ley lines in this land is just too sweet and juicy that Piper is able to cultivate this piece of land to its optimal potential. It was also hidden from the world has extra perks to it. [hider= Territorial stats for nerds that you won't probably read] [color=00aeef]White noise enhancement[/color] - this enchantment lets Piper's lullaby going and echoes throughout the land, anyone who steps within the area will passively hear the frequency of his charm spell and will possibly be under the influence of his song. [color=00aeef]Anti-spirit enhancement [/color] -this place is equipped with a security system that immediately rejects evil spirits entering his territory while other beings will have abnormalities once they are in the realm. Normal humans will quickly faint from pain upon coming in contact with the dense cloud of enveloping smoke as simply breathing it in burns their throat and direct contact with eyes causes them to fester. They start to suffocate due to being unable to breathe, and they cannot see anything as they writhe in pain. Magi will not immediately perish, but they will receive continuous damage and makes it difficult for them to use Magecraft if they do not take countermeasures. Heroic Spirits will not receive damage, but they will have a Rank Down in all parameters. The ability is continuously activated while Piper continues to play his mystical flute or the music still lingers in the background, His Rabid Rats will instantly target all entities possessing magical energy within the range of the ability. It also affects the sense of direction of those within the field perimeter, making them lose their bearing of the area. Even within a familiar enclosed space, this False Paradise will deceive all those trying to escape into running around in circles in the same place without them realizing it. Normal humans will always die in agony without ever being able to escape. The only means of escape for magi and Servants is the employment of Magecraft or a Rank B or higher in Instinct to guide them. [color=00aeef]Grudge cannons[/color] - The school is now a living fortress now, anyone who trespasses will be shot by the angsty spirit rats/children cannon balls without warning. (Might suffer abnormalities and debuff effect when hit.) [color=00aeef]Anti-LCK field-[/color] misfortune looms in this area with all of the sorrowful souls wandering around, abandon your beliefs of chances. [/hider] Piper decided to take a brief coffee break from pimping his workshop as his lips depart from his flute and check on the reports on his network of familiars that he highjacked across the western part of the city, His exclusive private V.I.P. 4k channels if you will. (this is the scope of Piper's network on the eastern side) Let's see what's good on the Shinto channel: Troilus lair: [color=00aeef]Huh? just as expected from a mundane town. Nothing. It seems that his master and her cute kid is not there either, strange...Next..[/color] The Pub channel: [color=00aeef]Yikes.. Looks like someone's piss and has too much to drink.[/color] Piper winced at the muffled angry noises coming from inside the Pub, he didn't bother to check any further.. Next.. The Church base channel: [color=00aeef]No activities so far, everything seems guarded, Next..[/color] The Foreign district: [color=00aeef]I see the servant Battle Royale is still going on and the cursed flames haven't been resolved yet, hmmm.. Next..[/color] Piper can't help but to yawn and continues to turn the page on his grimoire once more until he notices something that piques his interest. That's strange, my pets are restless and sensing an influx of magical energy has arrived on our former base. [color=00aeef]Are they hidden from detection? a basic bounded field must be obscuring my view. No matter, my pets are highly trained for these type of circumstances. Enhance and bring me closer..[/color] Hmmm.. interesting [color=00aeef]"Master Enzo, it seems we have tenants in our former base, refugees from the sea i believe, one appears to be a mage [@Paradox Witch] and the other seems to be a navy girl of some sorts[/color] [color=00aeef] [@MrCellophane] .. do you want to flush them out with my plague bomb we installed there? Here's the detonator to that place if you ever decide what happens to these to these unknown inhabitors"[/color] Piper said, handing a remote, entirely made of pieces of rat parts [@Seirei No Hai]
