As they would continue deeper into Nabudis, Nadeline would express that she too has her respective worried about Jaakuna. She would point out that Lola was able shift into Emiri in every way. Her mannerisms were perfect, her voice, and right down to every aspect that made Emiri herself. Wesley would nod and release a “hmm” sound quietly. He also wished to know what was the deal with Jaakuna, but like Nadeline, he would not press the issue until they were out of Nabudis. “That’s if we even get out of here.” Wesley grimly murmured.

Going deeper to the center of Nabudis, the group would come to a door. It had three medallions placed into it. Wesley noticed them and he knew that someone must’ve gone to a lot of trouble to gather them. He knew that they weren’t at all easy to obtain. Still, he saw no one come, he saw no one run pass them as they would approach the door, so it would seem whoever tried to get Chaos failed in their endeavor.

The group would only take a moment to admire the door and it was with that they would enter through the door and there would await Chaos, The Walker of the Wheel.

As Francis was about to get the name of the woman in the tree, Shion would just state to pay no attenton to her and she would bid Francis ado. He watched as she went away and the woman in the tree would as well. Francis thought about the day he had and boy was it eventful. There was finding out that his son was in Utena, then coming to the Gilmore Jungle and getting the attraction of two women. Though, what had in such a giddy and happy mood was the thought of Shion.

“I’m going to marry that woman.” He said aloud to himself smiling like a fucking idiot. Francis did think about his son though, more specifically how proud he was of him. Yes, truly Francis was not mad at Michel for being apart of Utena. He just wanted the chance himself to tell him that he was proud of him. However, for now, he would just return to Archadia to report back to Roman and have a conversation with Levi.

As Emiri would say that Chaos wasn’t far from their current location, she would beckon them to follow her. Savayna noticed the reluctance on Grant’s face and she just chuckled as they all would follow Emiri. Jaakuna was beside her, Wesley behind them beside Nadeline and Savayna the same with Grant behind Nadeline and Wesley.

As they would walk further, Wesley couldn’t help but think about Jaakuna and how he was able to figure out the real Emiri so easily and then there was the mention of Zodiark that got him troubled. He didn’t know if Zodiark was around and somehow came into play about the three Emiris or if it was something much more complicated than that. Even so, Wesley would speak quietly to Nadeline. “Does something seem off to Jaakuna? I mean, how exactly did he know that Lola was pretending to be Emiri.” Wesley would try to whisper loud enough so that Nadeline heard him, but not too loud so that anyone else heard him.

When Emiri and Jaakuna had finished hugging each other, sharing a sob or two, they would release each other from their embrace. It was just in time too as Grant would state that he couldn’t handle another minute in Nabudis, to which Nadeline would interject and state that they had their original goal of getting Chaos. Jaakuna nodded and Nadeline as he knew they needed to get the esper. It was the main reason they came to Nabudis in the first place.

So, with that, they had all decided to go on further to find Chaos, but where exactly would they start. Nabudis was so large, it wasn’t like they could go and ask someone. “So, where exactly do we venture off to? I don’t even know where to start.” Jaakuna mused aloud, also asked the others. Wesley and Savayna thought about it and they didn’t have any clues either.

When Shion mentioned something about duty calling her, she pointed to a tree. Francis would see a woman with rather large breasts and in a purple jumpsuit. The woman was smiling in a cheerful manner. He would look back to Shion only for her to mention that Francis was still on top of her. Perhaps Francis was subconsciously not wanting to get off, but he instantly stood up, helping Shion up as he did so. They were both up and he had a slight redness about his cheeks.

“I guess it will have to wait.” He said as he lifted his Alpha Blood Greatsword and placed it on his back with ease. He then looked up at the tree. “Hi there, miss..” He simply said waving gently to the woman in the tree. He then looked back to Shion. “Do inform me when you aren’t busy, Shion.” Francis’ charm took the form of flirtatious winking.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Lola had denounced herself of being the fake Emiri as she would place her hands up and she would shift into her usual self, big tits and all. This didn’t make Jaakuna feel any better and it would even worsen Lola make the mention of Zodiark. How did she find out already? Jaakuna was getting worried at this point, but just as he was, Emiri would stab the Emiri dupe and a black smokescreen would take over the area. Jaakuna thought this was just like last time, but it would seem that it was just a smokescreen as Lola was gone.

When it did happen, Jaakuna looked over to Nadeline, who shot him a glare of some sort. Jaakuna didn’t know if she suspected anything, but for his sake, he hoped that she didn’t. Still, Jaakuna was severely worried that he would be found out sometime about Zodiark. Whichever the case, Jaakuna looked at Emiri, walking over and hugging her. He never wanted to let her go. “I’m so sorry, Emiri.” Jaakuna simply said.

As his attack went in, Shion raised her Katana up to defend herself from the attack, but perhaps the force of Francis’ own was too much for her as it would knock her back. However, as she would fall to her own back, she would grip Francis’ armor, pulling him down with her, and he was on top of her, Alpha Blood out of his grip, and dropping(as heard from it crashing on the ground). She would then say that she surrendered, tapping his nose, and inform that he won. On one hand, he was extremely pleased that he won, but he couldn’t help that there was something that was at play that made it to where that it distracter her. Still, Francis was over Shion and he couldn’t help but feel very excited.

“Indeed I have, but I think it’s far too soon for us to be like this.” He smiled, obviously commenting on their compromising position. “Let’s see how dinner goes, and then maybe..” He said just looking her with a rather half-naughty, half-suggestive expression.

Well, obviously Grant chose the latter option as seen from the fading of his brightly-colored room and the now dull, dark halls of Nabudis. He would just say that he was pathetic and she chuckled as if agreeing, but in a joking manner. He would thank her and pull her in for a hug. She smiled and closed her eyes. “You big dummy.” She said in a calm voice. The hug would only last for a minute or so until she would break away from it. “We’ll have all the time in the world to ‘hug’ later, but right now, we got to find the others. “ Savayna said, “Nadeline went to go free Wesley, but I don’t know about Jaakuna and Emiri.” She said as she led Grant out of the room they were in and down the hallways.

---

Wesley was happy now that she was here and he even let out a laugh as she made the same exact promise to him as he had reminded her over and over again every time she would suggest going off and doing something alone. Wesley would get up, though he staggered, Nadeline obviously would help him. He looked at her and to the door. He would start walking, Nadeline with him. As he went through the door, the darkness faded and they would find themselves in the halls of Nabudis. Wesley smiled, but he breathed heavily. “We should hurry. The others need our help.” Wesley said, barely able to stand, but he couldn’t rest now.

So confusing. Everything was just so confusing. He had three Emiri’s telling him that they were the real Emiri. Jaakuna didn’t know who to believe. He did know two of them were the dupes and one was the real Emiri, the one that he loves with all of his heart and soul, but at this point, Jaakuna didn’t even know who that one was. If he guessed wrong, then he could be dead. If he guessed right, then there’s still a chance he could die from the other two. It was just a very bad situation that seemed to just get worse as the minutes went on by.

Jaakuna would desperately(mentally) try to figure out who it was. He was searching his brain for hints, but nothing was coming. That’s when Jaakuna heard a voice.

Do you want to know who the real one is?
Who’s there?
Oh, Jaakuna, did you already forget your lord?
Zodiark! Get out of my head!
Oh come on, Jaakuna. Stop denying what you know you need, which is my help.
I don’t need your help.
You’re lying and you know it. Besides, I can point out the real one,. Just accept a portion of my power into your body, and I shall do it.

As Jaakuna mentally argued with Zodiark, he thought about everything that he said. He didn’t want to, gods he didn’t want to, but what other choices did he have? If he didn’t accept the help of Zodiark, he would never figure out who the real one was.

“Fine.” Jaakuna simply said.

He heard a laugh inside his mind and Jaakuna could feel the power of Zodiark flow through his body. No outward appearance would be seen, but he felt it. He actually felt good. The amount of power that was within him was far beyond what he felt before and Jaakuna had a certain enlightenment. As Jaakuna’s body began to adjust to the newfound powers it got, the other four — Wesley, Nadeline, Grant, and Savayna — all arrived and to see what they saw had open mouths and widened eyes.

‘Uh, what’s going on?” Savayna asked. “Why do I see three Emiri’s?” She asked again, dumbfounded. Wesley was going to say something, but Savayna pretty much said what he was going to say.

Jaakuna looked back at the four of them, happy to see that they crawled out of the illusions. He turned his attention to the three Emiris. “No use hiding anymore. I know the truth. Show your true self, Lola.” He said looking to the Emiri that he came out of his illusion with. He looked at the other two Emiri’s. “And that must mean the one that tried to kill the other one is my sweet, dear Emiri.” Jaakuna said smiling towards the real Emiri.

“Trivial to you, but everything to me.” Francis stated as he would wait for the moment that Shion would attack. After a minute or two, she would come in, fast and hot. Her movements elegant and beautiful, much like her own self. She went for a simple horizonal strike. While admirable, she was obviously underestimating him. Francis simply pointed his Greatsword downward, delfecting her katana. The force in which she came would send her back a few feet. In those few seconds of her staggering back, Francis would go in for a straight thrust with his sword, pointed at her chest. Forgive me beautiful.

Damn, remind me never to let my dog have sex with a spider. D:

I think it's cause I've watched a lot of Hood movies and quite a few of my friends are/were gangsters, so I've picked up a few things from them as well haha.

“You’re right, it is pathetic.“ She said rather coldly. Savayna would stand up.

“We all have hardships in our life, and if we sulk on them, we will never grow, we will never be the person that our loved ones wanted us to be.” Savayna said, “if you let even your worst memories bring you down and actually want to relive it, then you really don’t deserve to be with us or be with me for that matter.” Savayna said as she eyed Grant. “It’s time to make a choice, dear ol’ Prince.” She said crossing her arms across her chest. “Will you allow yourself to be this pathetic person and stay here while you relive your worst moments of your life or will you grow a pair and show me the man that you claimed you were —the man that took me like none has before last night, and dammit, the man I fucking love to death?” She said as she uncrossed her arms. She bent her left arm and took her right hand, extended her index and middle fingers and tapped her wrist as if signaling that time was ticking.

As Wesley said that he deserved this fate, Nadeline would begin to cut him off, and just as she was going to finish, she was cut off by a bullet from Grant’s gun. She would look at the two, herself and Grant. The other her was preparing holy and so the real Nadeline would use sleepga on her other self and Grant. The spell would put the other Nadeline to sleep, but Grant was too fast. They would exchange blows, some of which would include a few gun shots, some arcane magick, and a few rolls from Nadeline. The end result, however, was Nadeline slicing at Grant’s head and him fading away as a black cloud-like substance.

Once that was finished, Nadeline would head over to Wesley, who was still in his chains. She would slice up the chains and Wesley would fall towards the ground as the only thing keeping him standing were the chains. As he would fall forward, Nadeline caught him and embraced him. She would tell him that he has nothing to feel sorry for or hadn’t done anything wrong. She would remind him that he’s been nothing but wonderful to Nadeline and that she should be the one to apologize. Wesley’s eyes started to water, and as she would tell him to believe in her, he found the strength to wrap his arms around her and he said few words as he would release all the guilt and sadness he was feeling. He let out a loud cry. “I do believe in you, I do.” That was all he said. His crying was the only sounds his mouth would make, tears floating from his face onto Nadeline’s clothing and the cold, stone floor.

As Emiri — or whoever it was — reached out to him, Jaakuna backed away. He didn’t know what was going on, but he definitely knew this person wasn’t Emiri. They may have her face, her mannerisms, and even the way her voice sounds, but Jaakuna knew his baby cakes, and this person in front of him didn’t him just didn’t feel right in his heart. That’s one thing that this person couldn’t fake, whoever it is. Even when she would try to ease his worry, Jaakuna wasn’t buying it. Just as she was going to make the pitch about how hard it was to believe, Jaakuna heard something from behind him.

“What the actual fuck is going on!?” Jaakuna asked in a shout.

He saw…three Emiris? Now how was that even possible. He saw one over another and had a dagger above her with one hand and the other binding one of the arms of the Emiri on the ground. As the Emiri on top of the other looked at Jaakuna, she would take the dagger and bring it down. Jaakuna didn’t think. “STOP!” Jaakuna yelled out and the dagger stopped. “I don’t know what the fuck is going on, but someone better tell me the real story or I’m gonna have to slap some bitches with my fist.” Jaakuna said clearly confused as fuck and equally as pissed off.

Francis grinned at Shion’s comment about the size of something and how one uses it. Clearly they were flirting with each other and Francis dug it. Then, she would make a wager. She waged that if she won, Francis would stop looking for information on Utena, and she would ask him what he would like to wage. Francis smiled. “Oh, I am a man of simple tastes. “ He said, “If I win this sparring match,you allow me the honor of taking you on a date of the caliber that a fine woman like you deserves.” He said winking to her. “Are we in agreement?"

Yup, by-far the monkey skaters are my favorite thing about the rp thus far. xD also posted~

Ripples in Reality: A World in Lines

Carlos was glad to see that Niko was on-board with G helping them. Even though he was a little out there, at least he was friendly and he seemed to really like Carlos. Maybe it was because they were so much alike or Carlos was just so damn popular with people. Whichever the case, Carlos was happy to have some friends along the way.

As they would continue, they met up with one of the members of G’s crew. This one was a little monkey, who seemed to have normal, brownish-red fur, but it was also on a skateboard and it wore a backwards hat and had a pink T-shirt on that read ‘It Roks to hav Thumbs’. Carlos smiled at the monkey, but then he would climb up top of Carlos’ head and would start picking at his hair, no doubt for some snacked. Carlos would turn his head, but he would just let him. Carlos was cool like that.

When the mention of going to The Dark District came up, the little monkey twitched and would say that it gave him the heebie-jeebies. Carlos wasn’t too happy to hear that, but on the mention of both of them coming with, Carlos smiled a bit.

“You know it man! These humans are so tight! I just hope we don’t run into some freaky-type shit, y’know?” G said.

“Oh I feel ya dawg, especially those shady folks.” The monkey said. “They be some wacky-ass, punk-ass bitches!” He said.

“Um, Monkey..?”
“Waddup dawg?”
“You got a name?”
“My friends just call me Digger.”
“Nice to meet ya. I’m Carlos and my friend here is Nikolai.”

As Carlos would introduce Nikolai to yet another one of them, Digger would stay on Carlos’ shoulder, obviously wanting to stay on him. That’s when they would head to the Dark District and hopefully the humans would get home.

As Lenore and Audrey were on the ground, Audrey would be the first one to get up, as she would dust herself to remove any dirt, She would then respond to Lenore by saying that she was indeed alright and that Lenore should not move cause of the blood from her head.. Lenore nodded and took the hand that Audrey offered her.

As she stood up, Lenore felt dizzy. Perhaps going unattended with the wound on her forehead was not such a great idea. Audrey would even offer up them not moving at a fast pace and actually resting. They would go to a bus stop at the corner and then Audrey said that they needed a plan.

When they sat down at the bus stop, Lenore rested her head against the back of the Bus Stop. She would then think about what their plan should be. “Well, obviously we need to find a way home, but I don’t see any creatures around.” Lenore stated the obvious there.
