Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Boom! Posted. Robert's bad luck returns for some serious play here.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Robert listened to Ms. Vanhomrigh respectfully, he knew people like her and he knew that there would be consequences if she thought for a moment that she wasn't being given the respect she deserved. Priscilla's tardiness soon confirmed that. He wasn't really sure how to respond to the teacher's comment about her reason for tardiness. Object and point out that he had not only been there on time, but that they hadn't kissed yet. Just keep quiet and not try to provoke Ms. Vanhomrigh's ire. Or maybe volunteer to go with Priscilla. There were two lines, meaning that they probably would have everyone go two by two. Robert chose the latter. He strode over to the front of the other and got himself ready, shooting Priscilla a thumbs-up to let her know he was cheering her on. The signal to start was given, and Robert took off. He jumped over the first obstacle, then approached the pull-up bar. He jumped up and grabbed it, but slid off almost immediately. He tried again, hung on for about three seconds, then fell face first on the ground. Good thing he didn't have his glasses or visor on, it wouldn't have been good to have broken them this early in the school year. He got back up and tried a third time, saying out loud, "Third time's the charm." Finally, he got his leg over it and rolled off successfully, sprinting to the next obstacle. Robert made it through the next few obstacles easily enough. When he made it to the balancing beams though, he lost his footing and landed on his junk. He began to slide off the beam, holding back any cries of pain, when he wrapped his arms and legs around the wooden log. Robert got himself upright again and continued on with the course. Every obstacle afterwards was not really noteworthy, except the winces of pain with every time he lifted his legs. When he approached the second pull up bar, he groaned and pretty much went through the exact same thing he did with the first one. Finally, he reached the last obstacle, the ropeclimb. Robert made it about halfway up before losing his grip and falling. Of course it wasn't that easy for Robert, he just had to get his leg tied up in the rope and dangle there for several seconds before falling on his head. He tried again, this time making it to the top and back down with no problems. Robert approached Ms. Iderson and Ms. Vanhomrigh after walking off the course. "Ta-da. Ms. Iderson, Ms. Vanom... Vin... Ma'am, how'd I do?" he asked, still rubbing his crotch as if doing so would somehow alleviate the pain. "Please don't be over five minutes. Please don't be over five minutes. Please don't be over five minutes," he silently pleaded.

<Snipped quote by Guess Who> Yeah, get your asses moving! xD

@harinezumikouken

Cool. I'm at a show right now so I'll post something afterwards. 2 hours maybe?

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

For those of us in Practice, should we wait for a signal before having our characters go through the obstacle course or can we just post them going through now?

Where is the class list, so ill know where to go lol

@paigesweetheart

The Google Doc has the list of all classes. I think that's the only place to view it, if there's anywhere else I don't know. If you can't see the Google Doc, is there something specific you're looking for? If you want to know what your next class is, it's Practice.

SkullGirls RP

Hello. Irish Tree suggested this to me. I've never actually played Skull Girls, but I'm willing to give this RP a shot. Any spots open?

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Wow. Esther is like a female version of my dad. Seriously, she just needs to regularly make those bad dad jokes like, "Hi hungry, I'm dad," and it would be a perfect match in personality.

What do you mean 'there goes my chances of winning'? What are you trying to say? xD Love all the RvB references too, boss.

@harinezumikouken

Red vs Blue is the best show ever... of all time.

Well, I'll stick around a bit, see if there's anything that still interests me, but other than that, I can't guarantee.

@Scarifar

Good to hear Scar.

<Snipped quote by Guess Who> I like you, Guess Who. I like you a lot, I noticed your 'Back in Black' thing too. We need to become friends. Close friends.

<Snipped quote by Lugubrious> Wait, we got another contest going on? Or is this the same one from before?

@harinezumikouken

Well, there goes my chances of winning.

<Snipped quote by Lugubrious> It's not you, it's me. It just feels like there is little opportunity to post a sizable post (about 2-3 small paragraphs for me). By that time, it's been perhaps a couple days and I barely contribute to the rp, if at all, with my post. I guess I feel kinda invisible and unimportant.

@Scarifar

Why does this always happen to fourth member of our team?

Heroes of Beacon - Contest of Champions

What the Hell's Going On?!

Robert laid down on one of the beds in his team's dorm room, then searched his pockets for his scroll. After finally finding it, he pulled out the device and activated it. The holographic screen appeared glitchy and buggy due to water damage, constantly dropping it on the ground, and other general wear-and-tear. He looked around the room, confirming that no one else was in the room to see what he was about to do. When he was absolutely sure none of his teammates were present, he typed into the internet search bar his favorite website to waste time on, and began rapidly typing extremely long paragraphs on some subject. What was the website? What was he typing? That's completely unnecessary information for now. Suddenly, Greyson burst into the room, a look of hatred on his face. Robert threw his scroll across the room in an effort to hide what he had been typing. "Hey, Greyson. What-what's going on? What's on that scroll? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. You don't even need to look at it. It's completely blank. In fact, it's broken. Yeah, that's why I threw it. I was frustrated that it no longer works. No need to check it at all," Robert quickly said, answering a question that Greyson didn't even think to ask. "You idiot! Why do you deserve her?! Why does she always pay attention to you, but never gives me a second look?! Always ignoring me and fawning over you?! Why!?" Greyson shouted. "Wait, what? What are you talking about Greyson?" Robert asked, confused. "I'll kill you!" Greyson said as he pulled out his sword, Ransack, and made a downward slash toward Robert. Luckily, Robert rolled off the bed just in time to see it be sliced in two by Greyson's weapon. "Greyson, what are you doing?!" Robert shouted, wooden splinters from the bed pelting his face. "This is for Priscilla!" Greyson shouted before making an upward slash toward Robert. Robert jumped backward to avoid the inelegant attack. He was still confused about what was going on though, his head not completely in the fight, so Greyson's sword was able to make a large cut diagonally across his chest. Robert fell on his back and clutched his chest with a cry of pain. "Die!" Greyson screamed with anger as he made a vertical swing toward the injured Robert. Greyson was not prepared for his opponent to suddenly begin defending himself though, and his attack was blocked by Robert's bracers. "What's gotten into you, Greyson?!" Robert shouted. Greyson didn't answer though, he just kept pushing his sword downward, trying to finish his previous attack. Robert, finding that he wasn't going to get any answers from his former teammate, kicked Greyson in the shin, making him drop to his knees. Then he made another kick toward Greyson's chest, pushing him back and giving Robert room to stand again. "Greyson, you don't want to do this." "Die, you asshole," Greyson cried as he thrust his sword forward, aiming for Robert's chest. Robert rolled out of the way of the attack and made a high kick toward Greyson's exposed head, knocking him out instantly. Robert approached the unconscious body of Greyson, kneeling down to see if there was any physical signs to show what had caused Greyson to act as he did. "This must be the work of the arch-nemisis of my favorite comic book heroes' X-Ray and Vav, CorPirate!" Suddenly, the wall of the the dorm was obliterated as two individuals, hidden in the smoke caused by the obliteration of the wall, stood there striking super heroic-looking poses. "X-Ray and Vav?" Robert asked the two figures as they stepped forward from the smoke. "Yes, it is us, X-Ray and Vav!" X-Ray shouted, "And we need your help Robert to defeat CorPirate's new evil scheme." ----- Robert stopped typing on his scroll and looked through his work. He scrolled back up to the top of the page, the url of the website, fanfiction.net, now prominently shown, as well as the name of the long story that Robert had spent more than an hour and a half typing out, "Robert Fallson meets X-Ray and Vav!" He gave the story another look through, before finally erasing the whole thing, deciding that the entire thing was trash that didn't deserve to see the light of day. Priscilla walked into the dorm and saw Robert lying on the bed. "You ready for our date, Robbie?" she asked, looking at him with the cutest smile. "Ready whenever you are, Priscilla," he responded as he got off the bed and followed her out of the room.
