Assuuione (A Multiverse RP)- Open for Business!

@Billsomething: Ah... Yeah, it is.

Assuuione (A Multiverse RP)- Open for Business!

@The_written_John: Hrm...

Well, luck-based abilities throw me off. Does it extend to other allies if a critical success/failure kicks in?

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

Yeah, sure, no problemo. Get started whenever.

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

@RiverMaiden: Hrm...
Should be fine, so long as she's not able to grapple with anything overly powerful with those vines. And stuff.

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

To be fair, I was sleeping, so cut me some slack.

We're still near the start, so yeah, still accepting. For now.

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

"...Wow. You sure got yourself together fast. I'd think that shrinking to the size of a snake would be pretty rattling. Well, then again, I AM a snake now, so... Fair's fair," Hyng said, shaking his head. If he had arms, he'd at least shrug his shoulders, but, well...

Yeah. Snake problems.

With that problem solved at the very least, Hyng turned his attention to the two kobolds hovering overhead.

"...Damn, we're pretty short, aren't we?"

Shit, right. He was speaking though telepathy and not an actual voice. Had to get used to controlling that.

"A-anyways... Er... Yeah. Jeff and... Neix, was it? Alright. I'll keep those names in mind. Saffron, though... You know, in retrospect, if you're THAT small and naming yourself after a spice..."

He trailed off as Neix made her own bad followup joke.

"...You open yourself to jokes like that. But hey, what works, works, right? Though... Assuming you two kobolds won't suddenly go feral and eat us, we all still need to find some sorta food. Right. All in favor of finding a way out once spider-girl over there stops freaking out like someone-"

Hyng stopped his half-venomous remark when he heard the ever-so-slight sound of someone else introducing themselves. Well, the more people that could communicate, the better... Right? Otsune... Sounded Japanese. No matter.

The snake turned his attention to the source and found himself staring at some bastard child of a dog and a crocodile (or was it an alligator?). Wow. Chimeras, too? Did that even constitute as one...?

...

Well, whatever. No point questioning the weird shit that seemed to have happened to all of them.

"Otsune, was it? One more to the party won't hurt."

With that invitation out of the way, Hyng realized that he had... Forgotten the ending to his first remark. Damn.

"...So. All in favor of waiting for spider-girl to stop wailing before we head out?"

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

Hyng stared on as the mob of monsters around him started to wake up on their own. A few didn't even bother freaking out about the water, but those that reacted...

Well, they were probably notable. In truth, it probably wouldn't be a far cry to day they might be in the same situation as he was in now--a soul transposed into the body of an animal... Or, well, humanoid monster thing, in the case of the kobolds and the goblin.

A glance over at the half-spider half-human girl proved as much; the instinct of most of them in the wild, Hyng assumed, would probably prioritize something like food over appearance. Or, y'know, water.

The goblin, at the very least, seemed to have the right idea; calming the one who was the least stable was reducing the risk of further breakdown.

As soon as he said that, though, another thing started shrieking like a banshee while... Not actually being a banshee. It seemed to be a girl or something that stood maybe as tall as he was long, and was... Still freaking out. Fun.

Well, it was probably best to follow in that goblin's footsteps, all things considered.

"Whoaaa. Hold on there, it's not like anything's hostile right now; regardless, I'm not giant; you're just tiny. Probably. Look, freaking out ain't gonna fix anything, so why don't we just calm down and get our bearings straight before jumping to conclusions? For example... Names. Right."

To be fair, it wasn't the nicest response, but it was better than nothing.

"But names, huh...? Now that I think about it, my name's not really fit for a snake... How about..."

"Hyng. You can call me Hyng. That should be fine."

Hellsalem's Lot- Bitter Steps

"One black and one with cream, half and half; that should be fine," the waitress responded to Shotaro before nodding yes to his question.
"I assume that Satori girl was with you, then? She seemed a bit too... I dunno, sheltered to be walking around like that. Who doesn't know how coffee shops work these days, am I right?"

While that barista attempted to make some small talk as she sent the order through, another walked behind the display and gave a wide grin to Saber.

"Is there anything that catches your eye?" he asked, smiling.

While all this was going on, Satori had continued to dig through the wave of information, but without much luck. Much of it was the usual: complaints, gripes, and the occasional childish whining.

"No matter where you go, people always stay the same, I guess..." she sighed, shaking her head as she waited for the rest of the group to order.

The 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi

Hanging Gardens

The knives shot by the assailant were scattered all over the place, and a few even shattered under the force. However, this didn't seem to stop them completely; though thrown off-course by a thoughoughly unexpected attack, the blades quickly repositioned themselves to fire at Akuma.

The blades abruptly stopped, though, once Alex jumped into the fray. The shockwave, as predicted, stunned the woman for a moment, causing the blades to waver and clatter onto the ground before disappearing.

"Alright, cool, we've got countermeasures now. Good work!" Kagura shouted before rushing in once more. "Seriously, though... This is new from Tsubaki..."

Tsubaki quickly moved to recover, barely ducking away as Kagura grazed the edge of her shield as he swung. A flurry of attacks followed, which was probably surprising considering the size of his weapon.

"Let's go! No more holding back if you're willing to go that far!" he shouted, swinging his blade to try and push Tsubaki back... Or, at the very least, towards those helping him.

Laboratory

The white samurai barely registered the presence of the two girls who had come before him. Though the fact that they had come from deeper in might have been noteworthy, it was of no matter now.

"...Down that hallway." he stated, motioning behind him as he stepped forwards, past Miku and Hibiki. "Exit soon; this place shall be in ruins soon enough."

With that ominous statement, he continued forward, his white figure slowly fading into the darkness of the hallway.

Orient Town

"Nya-nyah!?"

The sudden shift in the red-haired girl's attitude shocked Taokaka, who proceeded to barely slip forward and past her opponent as she swung with all her might. The splinters, however, were a different story. Though her clothing was durable, it wasn't something that would cover everything. And so...

"Nyeow! That hurt!" Taokaka shouted before attempting to grab onto Tailred's nearest arm. "But Tao's food deserves vengeance! NYAAAAH!"

Unknown City, Somewhere in the U.S.- ...The Hell?

The reactions from both Goldibanne and Artorias were... Strange to Claire, to say the least. This... Thing... Had almost killed a member of the team, but... Well, that member was neither injured nor was there any active conflict.

...

"This is why we don't try to give surviving civilians military training..." she sighed, shaking her head before turning to look at Sol. Who was, well, smoking.

"...Mercenaries. Well, can't say he gained any diplomacy points for that one..."

With the issue settled, Claire deactivated the alert and sighed, walking back to the command center. Those guys had their job, and she was fairly certain that the others in the facility wouldn't take kindly to a hot-tempered... Thing... Walking around. There were only so many people here, after all...

Yeah, I think everyone's been having that provlem recently.

I'll post a while later, just in case.

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

You and me both. All day yesterday, and it's still lingering right now. o.e
