The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Mhm, considering that we're having a fight scene, a little less reacting a bit more moving the plot forward would be appreciated. I mean, it'd be really hard for Kei-chan to move things along if all she gets are reactions to things that have already happened. Feel free to take the lead and pull us forward guys :) this a group effort after all.

Now, go deal some damage on that Orc and win this fight, hummons! >8D

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

As soon as they found the boys, a giant tree sailed over their heads.

Riley ducked, then jolted upright with eyes the size of dinner plates. Clearly, there was something wrong with this girl's head. "That was amazing!" She practically cheered, even though the tree had nearly sent them to the afterlife (she didn't believe in the afterlife).

The ground beneath them began to shake and birds cawed loudly as they made their escape.

Before them, was a creature at least ten feet tall. "Oh jeez, I need to get an interview." Another log sailed past their heads and she reconsidered. "Oh...I see you're the uh, shy type. No need to fret, maybe I can just ask for your picture?" She gave the creature a nervous grin only for it to roar, loudly. All wildlife in a ten mile radius began to scamper off to safety. "No offense, but you really need a breath mint." The girl coughed rather rudely before her eyes flitted to the boys, all of them cowering behind a confident looking Haku.

The boy began spouting out orders, and she had to admit, he sounded like he knew what he was doing.

"Roger! Roger Frosty!" The girl grinned and when Haku asked them to make a wish she laughed. "Jeez, what I wouldn't give for a photograph!" If she got proof of her adventures in Nowhere, well old man Rogers would eat his hat and she'd nab the job she was shooting for, easy. It'd be a piece of cake.

Her amulet glowed brightly, the liquid just a little higher than the half mark. Embers began dancing around her arms and soon the flame was licking at her stick, but miraculously not hurting her. Riley let out a hearty laugh, "sooo um do you work out a lot?" The orc seemed to be highly annoyed by all her talking and when it turned to look at her she sent two fireballs flying towards its chest. Haku had done a stellar job at distracting it.

"Jackpot!" There was a small explosion followed by a cloud of gray smoke. However, when the smoke ebbed away the orc stood grinning, a hand held over his chest. The gemstone engraved in his armband began to glow brighter and Riley gaped. "No way, I think it just absorbed my magic!" It stomped on the ground and the sheer force of it created a crack right where the girl had been standing, she hopped back and fell onto her backside, sulking.

---

The mushroom man wailed as fire began spreading across his body. It was a limbless, pathetic excuse for a monster now and it's vines struck at the air blindly. None of its limbs were growing back and Leila's arrow was still embedded deep into its eye, preventing healing of any kind. Its remaining eye stared at the humans with hate and it flailed and writhed around the pond's edge. They could end this now.

The vine that was pinning Harper to the ground gave way and the boy fell to his knees, gasping for air.

"Thank you...Ace." He pushed himself up and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the mushroom monster. It let out the most woeful of cries, the hunter now nothing but a cornered animal. He raised a sword and sliced through two vines that wanted to grab at him.

In one last futile attempt to save its life, it flailed its vines around and let out an ear-piercing kind of screech. It took a few shaky steps back, trying to evade the humans. It's food brushed against the pond's edge. All it would take was one more tiny push and then it would be over.

Harper screwed his eyes shut, feeling sorry for it. "Now!"

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Haha, poor Leila. Four, awesome job and thanks for the information 8D

We now know how to break Leila. Perhaps, a room with walls that slowly begin to move inward, or maybe a small closet that fills up with water? A very slow...agonizing death. *cue mad cackling in the distance* I mean, she was adorable (^w^)/ especially during the pancake question. After Leila, we'll start asking Leon questions, so guys throw your questions at Four while you can.

I'm going to go work on a Riley post :D I might do a small update with the mushroom man too.

Oh, and group two :D don't be afraid to attack or deal minor blows for the sake of moving the battle forward. If you want the orc to punch you in the face, go for it. Don't be afraid to get hurt as well, Jasper is with you guys after all, and most of all remember, teamwork! That is all :)

Edit: My post for Riley is up (^w^)/ and group one I also did a tiny post for the mushroom monster but don't worry, it's just a reaction post. I'll leave how the fight ends to you guys, kukuku :)

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Thaum: Group C

No more...

All the death and decay faded and soon he found himself in Thaum's square, well it looked like Thaum, but it was incredibly hard to tell due to the purple fog that hung low. The summoner looked around frantically, who was going to die this time?

"D... Dylan. Have you seen the others?"

No! This time he'd save them, he had to! Lucien ran blindly through the fog, batting at nonexistent Lions and letting out a frustrated yell. Suddenly, he tackled into something, no, someone. He found himself on the ground, with the person he had knocked down, it was Amy. "Run! Amy, run, now!" He scrambled to his feet and pulled the cleric up. "We have to hurry, before he finds us!" He expected to see her torn to shreds, but it never happened and he realized that the creature he had seen was probably gone. He took in a shaky breath and without thinking pulled the woman into a hug. Lucien was instantly rewarded with a fist to the face, he fell back with a thud and turned his head to see Dylan.

"Oww, Dylan!" He felt mushy inside, just seeing them alive, it made him so happy. "You're alive!" The summoner pushed himself up and laughed. "You're all alive," he began rambling in a panicky voice about lions and death and all sorts of other things. Half-way through he began sounding a incoherent, but really, he was just so glad to see them all in one piece.



Thaum: Group C

They were back in Thaum...

Xan stood there shivering, she could still feet their teeth, their claws, and she could still see images of the others, torn and bloodied. "Aria...? Trixie?" The girl took in a breath of air and screwed her eyes shut. What was going to happen next, the uncertainty of it all was frightening, but they had to soldier on.

The girl took a step forward and noticed the prone figure of one of the guilders. Lute, was on the ground, hugging his knees to his chest. "...Lute?" A part of her believed he would be snatched up by some beast before she could reach him, but her fingers wrapped around his wrist. He was real...he was there, and most importantly he was alive. This...this meant the others were alive too, right?

She threw her own fears aside and tapped him gently on the shoulder. "We have to find the others...are you alright?" The question sounded stupid. Nothing felt alright, but wandering through the fog would be a hundred times better than seeing them all die again. Familiar voices tore through the silence and her jittery nerves relaxed a little. "Let's go find them."



Thaum: Group B

He was the older brother damn it! But he couldn't save them.

Andrew, Noelle, Robby, Abigail, and even little Josh. He couldn't save any of them! Atlas stumbled around through the fog, unaware of the change in scenery. He called out for his younger brothers and sisters, hoping that someone would answer.

He continued wandering and when he ran into no one he began running, both hands cupped around his mouth. He saw the outline of a person. "Abigail?" The man leaped past a bush only to run into Aria, she looked a little roughed up, but then again he did too with his crazed eyes and frantic expression. It wasn't his sister...but a fellow guilder. "Hey...you, you okay? Have you seen any of the others?" Atlas didn't sound as calm as he had wanted too.

The man exhaled then saw the outline of several other people, one was a tall man and the other a stocky woman. "We should go...regroup." His mind wandered off, perhaps his siblings were safe somewhere, but the scene he had witnessed had felt so real. He felt his shoulders shake but trudged onward. "C'mon." The man waited for Aria to follow then called out to the other figures. "Oi! We're coming, wait up!"
