NuttsnBolts

Mahz's Dev Journal

I noticed something that may need to be addressed on a thread management level.

In the roleplay discussion area there was a thread with the lovely title of "**** you" and I am proud to see that the mods addressed it so that it was removed and blocked from the members sights, however the link for the thread's existance remained on the front page of the site as it was the last thread to be posted in.

Artifacts of a Lost Civilisation - ( Kitsune & NuttsnBolts )

Cool, and thanks.

So I didn't make the post too long, so that I don't fill it up with too much stuff all at once.

Artifacts of a Lost Civilisation - ( Kitsune & NuttsnBolts )

Alyon did the only thing she could, she lifted her leading foot and let her body fall to the side so that she would eventually land behind the cloaked attacker. It was just enough as the sword came straight past her hip penetrating the air where she was standing... but their fight didn't end there.

When Alyon landed on the floor she hit her shoulder with a heavy thud, as she watched the man repositioned his grips on his swords and swung around with a wide arc, spinning his body towards her. In order to defend herself she lifted her blade with her right hand and created a block by placing her left palm on the flat edge near the tip. The two scimitars landed on the obstructing long sword with a violent clash and she could feel the weight of his swing against her own strength.

"Who are you?!" she demanded hastily as she held up against the onslaught of an attack, "And why are you trying to kill us?"

His glare pierced into her eyes as if to try and comprehend the complexity of such a simple question. "A daughter of the Pyres and yet you don't know nothing?" He chuckled as he leaned in so that his face was closer to hers. "It was your father's own foolish fault for why your mother came to this Crypt those many years ago. Hahaha, She had no idea what she was getting herself into."

As if to break the moment, the Crypt began to rumble the moment Fraya entered the Artifact chamber. Dust and dirt began to fall from the ceiling, allowing Alyon a good distraction point for her to break away with a roll from her enemy. How does he know about my parents? she wondered as she stood up into a crouching position with her sword ready for a possible round 2.

Artifacts of a Lost Civilisation - ( Kitsune & NuttsnBolts )

No post tonight. Just a few too many things going on so it'll be tomorrow after work (Finish at 1)
Also, to give a heads up, the 6-8th may be tight for posts. Got a racing comp that weekend so I'll be held up for most of the days.

It'll depend on what you mean by "Rip". She may be a strong girl but if she sees gibs everywhere... she may freak out a little bit. xD

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Duncan Brown

"Madison? Madison?! Shit!!!"

Duncan watched on the digital map as the Mad-e broke it's stance and instead of supplying assistance to Blur, it was on a direct route to the Volkov Gunships. Unfortunately due to the communications failure his words were unable to get through to the girl and Duncan's feedback from the Mad-e was resulting in all sort of error messages.

"Captain... We may have a problem here."

Madison Cole

The Mad-e was screaming accross the landscape towards it's intended targets just as the smoke started to clear from around the tanks. Madison sat within her cockpit, neglecting her position and intended role, instead fuelled with a sense of rage and anger.

"You know what, fuck you guys!" She yelled at the top of her lungs as she bought one hand down and started to punch in the code for her Artillery mode.

> Code accepted
===WARNING!!!!===
> NC still in motion
"Don't care! Overri..*COUGH*..de!" Madison's command was abruptly interrupted by a harsh cough and a faint taste of blood. Along with this she was feeling a warm sensation running out of her nose as the feedback from the Cerebral Resonance was starting to effect her body.
> Admin command accepted
> Artillery mode activated

Madison could see the tanks coming up quickly as the VTOL wings folded themselves up as the NC squatted down for it's attack and skidded across the surface to a stop. She was close, possibly too close, and during the skid she had manage to tear off the anchors that held her NC stable to the ground while she fired her mortars.

===WARNING!!!!===
> Target in close proximity
> Possible damage to [New User] NC: 40%
> Possible damage to Warhead Launcher Ammo supply

"Let's see you pricks dodge this one!" Grabbing a hold of the controls she pulled the trigger and felt a violent kickback as the Mad-e lurched backwards. For Madison, the whole world went dark as her body was thrown forward and her skull cracked against the front screen. Along with this, the cord that attached to her head in order to control the NC was pulled out prematurely before she had a chance to de-sync from the machine.

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Been meaning to post. Just things keep popping up at the moment.

EDIT: Don't worry, she's not dead... ;)

Artifacts of a Lost Civilisation - ( Kitsune & NuttsnBolts )

"I shall go ahead for now Alyon."

Fraya began to move forward through the tomb as Alyon lightly dusted herself off and straightened up her clothes. She began to follow the girl's lead, noting that Fraya was now in a particularly strong defensive mode for both of their protection. With the possibility for more hidden traps Alyon made sure to never let their guard down, and by not letting her guard falter her sense of hearing picked up something that seemed rather out of the ordinary.

A set of faint footsteps was following them down the pathway and Alyon spun to faced the darkness behind them in preparation for what was coming. "Hold up," she whispered to Fraya, "If I'm correct, you may need to find that Artifact on your own." She lifted her sword up before her body and positioned her feet into a strong stance just as the cloaked figure stepped out of the darkness and into the green light emanating from the walls.

The cloaked male stood for a moment and watched the two girls make an evaluation on the situation. He stood taller than them and as if to try and reinforce their expectations on what to think of him he crossed his arms and reached for his sides, grabbing two decorative sword hilts and pulling them out to expose their full glory. Within his clenched grasps were two large scimitars, a set that reflected the green hue of the Crypt and announced simply death.

"Fraya, Go!" Alyon yelled to her companion as the assailant leapt forward with his attack, releasing a dual overhead strike. Alyon lifted her sword, placing both hands on the hilt and with as much force as possible, blocked the downward blow. As he moved in for a second swipe, Alyon stepped back and countered it with a parry before taking a step to the side in order to break some more distance between her and the unknown male. With each new attack she made an effort to block it with a move of her own until she had an opportunity for an opening.

She saw her chance, an opening in his stance and using that time carefully she lifted up both arms in front of her chest and went in for a thrusting attack. Her straight sword closed in on the man who was now facing towards the side and crouching down on his knee just as he glimpsed the incoming needle. He reacted instinctively by swinging the scimitar in his right hand around his wrist and shielded the side of his body, forcing the sword to be deflected past his back.

Using that moment of up close and personal, Alyon managed to get a peek at the man's face. His left eye was a brilliant turquoise colour with fair skin, but the beauty was covered by a thick mask on the rest of his face and a right eye that glowed a blood red colour. Wrapped around his hands and his neck were thick bandages and through some of the gaps was heavy, visible scaring.

"Brilliant attack," he addressed with his cold rustly voice, "Except for leaving yourself exposed."

Alyon eye's opened into a state of fear as she saw the tip of his left scimitar appear from below his right elbow as he advanced with his sneak counter attack. It came straight for her stomach and with her sword in such an inopportune position she had very little space to defend her body.

I'm cool with that. I plan on making them a bit of a recurring character/antagonist of sorts so a good introduction would work out well.

would you believe this is a Rubik cube?

I probably wouldn't make it so big as well. Dunno an exact size but something up to a basketball size would be better.

I'll make a post tomorrow, might try for a longer one since we know what we're focusing on.
