The War of the Three

Henry Pearl Avaritia The 2nd

@Banana@TheWindel

Henry was boiling at this point, his headache was worsening by the second, the memeory he sought only grew further and furtherout of his grasp, the slime brat was talking nonsense and pissing him off- did she just say uncle Eos? Henry turned towards her slowly with a dangerous silver glint in his eyes, he wasn't gonna take this bullshit from a fucking 6 year old. "You're glowing... With a distinctly holy light. Your uncle is the leader of the Machina. Your mother is the leader of the demons. You have some sort of connection to the angels obviously. I would say your mommy has a lot of explaining to do, but quite frankly I don't care anymore." Frog walked by and was very angry as well, but for all the wrong reasons. He liked the frog at first, he really did. But now that childish naivete was pissing him off.

Suddenly a voice echoed across the Nexus, communicating a message of despair to all. A message informing everyone of their foolishness and an offer to fight for a better cause. His headache was reaching a climax as the words spoken by this mysterious figure echoed through his skull over and over. "Rejoice, daughters and sisters of the Nexus for the time to end the farce within which you dwelled for so long has come. Those who seek the truth come and meet me in the realm of the souls who were imprisoned for defying the tyranny of the Triumvirate and those which they serve.

Test your hearts and your alliances if you want to know the truth, for I'm the only one who can provide it. I can show you what is it that lies beyond the border and the reason why you are shackled on this prison without walls. With the power granted to me, in this place, bringing back what has been lost is just a matter of wishing it.

Free yourselves and join my cause, or keep on being slaves and meet your final fate. The choice is yours. Nevertheless, I urge you to hurry, unless you want the evils within this prison to spill back on your world of lies."

A portal opened in the middle of the throne room and suddenly the pain was gone. Time to channel all his anger into something productive. Henry started walking towards the portal with an almost casual air as his usual cocky grin spread itself across his face. "Here's the deal fellow demons. We're being played for idiots, obviously we've been played from the start of this damn war. I'm gonna go find out what's happening in this prison of traitors. Honestly, I'm likely not gonna come back, there are secrets being hidden from us that I just don't like." He stopped in front of the portal and looked over his shoulder at Lucille. "To sum it all up. Go fuck yourself." With those final words he stepped through the portal quickly to head to what would hopefully be the truth.

@Letter Bee@Sen@EnterTheHero

They vaporised the Shadow to be quite frank, it never stood a chance against an assault of that caliber. Words echoed in the wind, perhaps stray thoughts from the person this Shadow came from? A Great Leader huh? He could practically hear the unspoken capitalization in those words, this Shadow was probably a cult members. Does that mean they just gave him a Persona by killing his Shadow? No, that doesn't make any sense, he only got his Persona when he accepted his Shadow. Nevertheless it was time to move on and pick up their reward as a pile of cards floated to the ground. Everyone took one, Ryan taking his after Sato. He turned the card over and instinctively knew what it was. The mysteries this strange land held...

>Geraint learned Charge!

Everyone was basically dead on their feet, so they progressed to the other side of the bridge, strangely undamaged by their intense battle, connecting it to the teleportation network. How extensive was this web of reality bending transportation? The only way to find out was to continue, but not today.

- - - - - -

"Good stuff guys." He said mainly to Sato and Mako. It was gonna take awhile for him to warm up to Samuru after todays events. The entire warehouse was cleaned in the time they were gone, with furnishings being moved in as well as a new girl. He did a basic nod towards her to acknowledge her, hopefully she would join but it didn't matter either way. They had so many people that it was starting to get kinda hard to coordinate everyone. They should start a group chat.

He threw his equipment into its usual corner, seeing a flash of blue out of the corner of his eye. Ryan turned his head and noticed Sato walking into a floating blue door. He rubbed his eyes and it was still there, so that could only mean one thing. Velvet Room. ryan grabbed his Hunting Knives from his equipment corner and waited for Sato to come out, entering after him. Time to figure out the whole menu thing...

The Velvet Room

"Welcome... to the Velvet Room."

Suddenly Ryan was sitting at the dining table with his usual fancy suit on. Everyone else was blurred, meaning he was the only one there at the moment. Kinda weird seeing a blurry hawk with a tophat. The menu sat before him, so Ryan picked it up and read through it.

>Ryan ordered from the Dessert Menu...

Henrietta served him a Root Beer Float as he decided to create an Arcane Weapon. He didn't expect to actually be served dessert but cool. He pulled out his hunting knives, 4 in all that were in various spots all over his body, and looked at Igor. "Is this how it works?"

>Ryan infused his Hunting Knives with Garudyne!

Now wasn't the time to take on the challenges, he was way too tired and he had a feeling he would need a friend to take them on. He finished up his Root Beer Float and bid farewell to Henrietta and Igor. Time to head home.

Ryan was browsing the internet in search of new anime when his phone buzzed. Rui had organized a beach trip apparently, meaning he needed a bathing suit. Ryan vaguely considered trying to back out, but he didn't have any plans and it would be kinda lame to back out because he was embarrassed by his body.

Ryan sent a confirmation and closed his laptop. Time to go shopping.

The Crucible - Winner Take All

Jin Sunrise

Location: the Park - Quenched Forest Cinders
Talking with: Sister Sophia @DracoLunaris

Ok, her name was Sophia. Or was her name Seraphim? Either of those could be codenames honestly. Lets just go with Sophia for now. "Alright Sophia, well it's a pleasure to meet you."

”With pointless murder? No. But murder with a purpose? The destruction of the enemies of mankind, the purging of the corrupt and the inhuman from this world? From all worlds! Join us Jin and save your mortal soul from damnation! Join me and we can end this charade of a tournament together. With our forces combined we can destroy the xenos filth and heretical technology that infests these ruins. Think to yourself, is what you desire truly worth trusting a machine that devours souls? How could such a device possibly not be evil? It will inevitably betray you and do something awful instead! After all, this used to be a thriving city, the most advanced in the world. Yet you must have seen it, seen the empty streets, the ruins. What if that device is responsible? What might it do if fed again? Tell me your desire Jin, tell me what you crave so greatly that it is worth this risk?”

Oh boy. Just his luck, his opponent wasn't just religious. She was a zealot, a particularly crazy one who glorified murder. So much for a nice clean match. Dear lord she's panting. Is she getting off to this shit? Jin shuddered as he felt like his breakfast might decide to come back up. But this could work out in his favor, zealots weren't the smartest people in his experience. Hell, one time he took on this contract to assassinate a priest, so Jin told him that he wanted to convert and the dude practically- that was besides the point. the point was that it was time to start acting.

"Oh my god, this religion sounds amazing! I get to kill people and then go to heaven because I killed people! I can't imagine anything better! And you have an amazing point, that machine could devour my soul if I did win. I was such an idiot to trust the people at the college." He said all this with a pretty believable tone, but if any of Oren's cameras were watching they could see Jin making super exaggerated faces and him making a jerking off motion with his hand.

@Lugubrious

waiting on @floodtalon to respond at the mo

edit: could do the supply dump arrival in a post i guess, but it would be a little screwy timeline wise to have that massive rant just hanging in the air like that.

@DracoLunaris

Sorry about that, been a little busy with work recently. Will try to get something up within the next 24 hours

Eos: "Come and get some."

But seriously, try to not push things too far. The Demon PCs are almost crossing into metagame territory because of Artoria. It's beginning to annoy me, to be frank.

That wasn't our fault that she got annihilated, so try to not push the boundary of what behavior is acceptable too much.

@KoL

What exactly do you mean by metagame territory?

Mephilius: "Is crying like a little bitch saying 'It's unfair! Its unfair!' your strongest defense? Last time I saw you on the ground throwing a tantrum while I literally did most of the fighting!"

@Lmpkio

This actually brings up a very valid point, Henry can't even remember the Silver Barrier he put up. Just that he put up something.

@Lmpkio Henry's whining was what caused us to stay and fight, so, yes, it was our most effective defense.

@The 42nd Gecko

An unbreakable defense, that not even Eos's bullshit reality sword can cut through.

The War of the Three

Henry Pearl Avaritia The 2nd

@Lucius Cypher@TheWindel

The door slammed open at mach speed, not startling Henry but giving a clue to him as to the rulers mood. Bad, but not bad enough to try and throw something at him reflexively. Which meant she would be logical at the very least. Henry sheathed his sword and walked into the throne room, immediately feeling the tension in the air. Francisca totally ignored this and asked how the battle went like a complete retard, wow Henry really wanted to bisect her right now. But now was not the time for that. And so his report began.

He went over his infiltration of the factory, the attempts to kill the Meido sisters who were unfortunately wearing an experimental Machina armor, judging by the similarities it was likely a set of either 2 or 3. He also brought up how the Machina now had technology to inhibit portals for brief periods of time, which caused trouble when he was attacked by a Heaven harpie. Henry glanced at Francisca when he mentioned her joining the fight.

And then they got to the not so fun part, where the Machina leader herself was there. "I will be frank here. She destroyed Mephilius and I. I put up my strongest defense and she wiped it out like it wasn't even there..." With this being said Henry flinched and rubbed his head as he failed to grasp at a memory. His head hurt now. "She did something else. I don't know what, but that bitch Eos did something else that I can't remember." He groaned as he felt his anger spiking once again.

"We were outclassed from the very start. I don't know why I even showed up, I had no chance of beating the leader of the Machina. Nobody did..." There it was again, a flicker of something. Something just out of his reach that waa bugging the living shit out of him. Henry shook his head and groaned. "She threatened to wipe us out of existence so Mephilius and I exfiltrated via one of his portals. It was humiliating but we weren't gonna take the chance that she could back up her claims."

Capes of Denver: A Worm RP

Heartless- The Jack's Headquarters

Heartless shook his head as Thunderbolt offered to straight up kill Gamble. "Nah dude, no need to break the unspoken rules for this piece of shit. I'm sure we can convince him to keep his mouth shut, hell we can just sew his lips together if it really cones down to it. Chop off his fingers, sew his lips shut, no way for him to talk if he can't talk." He chuckled upon seeing the terrified expression on Gamble's face. He was probably wishing he was on his way to the Birdcage now.

Chatterbox spoke up a few moments after with a much less gruesome solution in mind. Heartless shrugged and turned to Chatterbox. "That works a lot better in the long term I'll admit. I still like my idea though." Admittedly it would work a lot better than his, instead of giving the PRT nothing he could give them false leads instead. "Could you make him say something funny? Like that we're in an abandoned amusement park or something? I feel like everyone here could get a kick outta that."

Headhunter walked over and grabbed Gamble, setting him down right in front of Chatterbox. Cut straight through the bullshit, just sit the idiot down and get down to business. Heartless could appreciate Headhunter's thinking. Good stuff. "Am I gonna have to cover my ears or something? I don't relish the idea of becoming a mental slave just cause I listened to you talk about TV or something for half an hour."

@Banana

Hell yeah. He'll also covert Mount Kickass into a Volcano. Bitches love volcanos.

In fact I should have Grafdakka go on a conquest. Surely if he claims territory for the queen she would reward him with more than just power, but also fiefdom? Wot Happened Endian being the more logical mind I feel this could work. Now I just need cohorts.

WHO SHALL JOIN ME?!

@Lucius Cypher

You could probably count Henry in if he meets with Grafdakka. He's pretty dissatisfied with the Demons right now and he would love some of that sweet sweet Machina tech.

Henry Pearl Avaritia The 2nd

@Banana@Lonewolf685@TheWindel

Henry was dumped in front of Hell's throne room by Mephilius, he continued throwing his tantrum alongside Luci. After a while he tired himself out and rolled onto his back to look at the ceiling. "This is so fucking pointless. Everytime I go out into the battlefield I do nothing. I run into some crazy powerful jackass that I have no chance of beating. I get my ass kicked. Than I end up here again. This war is so fucking pointless!" He cried out as he sat up.

Luci was crying about a puppy or something and Henry turned his head towards her with a look of pure disdain. The precious daughter of the new Queen of Hell. How long would this ruler last? A week? Henry could already hear her throwing a tantrum similar to his in her throne room.

Frog dropped by, asking Luci about the dog. "Don't bother asking, she said she can't even remember the dumb dog." Henry sighed as he got up finally and walked to the doors of the throne room. He banged on the door loudly with one hand and held his sword in the other, no idea what might get thrown at you when the ruler is in such a foul mood.

"HEY, I'M HERE TO MAKE MY REPORT! LET'S GET THIS SHIT OVER WITH!"
