Capes of Denver: A Worm RP

WOO! Finally got that update out! Thank you so much for your patience, everyone, and I really want to apologize. I've been sick off my ass, but also have had some more serious health concerns that came up. I had an MRI which confirmed that my worries over my brain were just that: worries. Hopefully that means that my usual writing times have opened back up again on a more permanent basis. :D

Capes of Denver: A Worm RP

Wards - Old Trainyard, New Tricks!

@BCTheEntity@yoshua171@solokolos@Lugubrious@Old Amsterdam

The hours flew by as the Wards each prepared in their own little way. All roads converged at the same destination, the target of their mission: The old abandoned train yard intel said was supposed to be housing illicit materials for The Community. The teen heroes rode in the back of a PRT transport vehicle driven by a soldier, with two additional passengers. Both, naturally, were PRT agents as well. Lieutenant Reynolds led the squad and had the authority to take over orders should he feel that Messiah's judgment was compromised in any way shape or form. Private Skeetz was the strong silent type. That, or he preferred to focus on the road to the detriment of a normal conversation. Corporal Johnson sat with the lieutenant, checking her gun over one final time before arriving. They were expecting minimal resistance, but that was no reason not to be prepared.

"We'll go over the layout one more time, Wards," the lieutenant spoke up, standing in the back of the vehicle to point at a map printed out to the side of the van. "The building itself is quite expansive, but that's because the majority of it was meant for storage. Here in the back you'll see where the train tracks ride alongside the building, where cargo would have been dropped off. This is an entrance to the larger warehouse portion of the station, and is most likely to house the Community's illegal goods. Further, it's the largest entrance we can move toward. On the opposite end of the building we have the main entrance, a simple double door up half a flight of stairs. Inside this main entrance is the station's main lobby, where people would be waiting for trains to arrive and depart. Notice that the tracks also go right by this portion of the building. The tracks used to go through it, but that area was walled off over time as a hazard zone. These are the only two entrances from ground level, however the building specs Decoy was able to pull up show a system of skylights on the rooftop above both the lobby and the warehouse sections. We're expecting minimal resistance thanks to the big rally the Community is attending tonight. The mission should be a simple one. Neutralize any hostiles, secure the area, then we call in a CSI team to investigate and categorize the illegal merchandise. This will be Messiah's first mission as your team leader. Remember to respect your chain of command, and my men are at your command as well. Should I find your judgments to be unsatisfactory, then I will take command and their will be no arguments. We should be arriving in about two minutes, Wards. If there are any last minute questions, time to ask them now."

The Jacks - Community Drop Off: A Stealthy Approach

@yoshua171@BCTheEntity@Eklispe@floodtalon@Old Amsterdam

Heartless's idea to scout from above certainly wasn't made in poor judgment. The shadow man was able to slink around the large rooftop structure and look from skylight to skylight to get a good idea of the building's interior. Behind the front door was an old dilapidated lobby room, with chairs and cushions long since rotten and eaten by insects. A broken grandfather clock sat against the wall to the left of the front doors, hands perpetually frozen on 3:23. A small ticket taker's office was cordoned off on the wall opposite the front doors, a few cash registers visible on the countertops, with a single old timey door to allow entry into the small section. To the left of that was a sheet metal door, the kind that rise and lower from the ceiling, currently locked in a down position. A single guard was leaning against the wall next to that door, a shotgun resting by his side while he picked his nose, oblivious to the dangers going on. Shouldn't he have heard the single gunshot Headhunter had fired off? Ah, there they were. Headphones.

The skylights behind this lobby room showed Heartless a great deal more interesting things. The rest of the building, about 4 times the size of the lobby, was all storage and warehouse. The back end had two great big loading doors connected directly to the train track. The whole place was filled with shipping cargo containers, crates, wood boxes, and other cases for transportation. Two catwalk railings hung from high above the floor overlooking the storage unit, with one set of stairs leading up to them from opposite ends of the warehouse. Two guards armed with fully automatic rifles paced along these catwalks, clearly far more competent than musics mcnosepicker. This was everything Heartless could make out. Unfortunately the skylights didn't give him a perfect view of the whole building, there was a ton of blind spots, but he could see most everything. Was it time to relay the info and let the gang inside?

The Minutemen and Swarm - We'll Take the Job!

@Banana@yoshua171@Old Amsterdam@Spiffy

"They say you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth," G4M3R began, musing to himself. "But they also say that if something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Alright Mr. Gabriel, we'll accept your donation and place you at the top of our sponsors list, but this is still really fishy. Don't think we won't be investigating you. In the meantime, Kyoshi, go ahead and take the team to protect that young woman's family, will you? Once that's all said and done we'll discuss our plan for taking down the Rockers."

It seemed that the Minutemen's leader would accept Gabriel's money and request, for the time being, but he was just as wary as his team. Before he might have been blinded by the money, but their influence ensured he grew as a person. Wasn't that nice?

"I've got some more bugs to work out of some of these things. Keep me informed of whatever happens, k? And Mr. Gabriel, unless you have anything else to discuss, I think we're all set here."

One Piece: New Horizons!

Everyone jumped into action against Shotaro Saban, or Shrimp Brigade Prime as he called himself. The hulking behemoth of a man could do nothing to prevent Slick from further spreading his oil around the ship, but now a drop hit the man himself. Two of the many arms spun the ball and chain with enough speed to produce a vacuum, blowing away all the oil that would have otherwise hit his mighty, god-like form. Instead the oil splattered around onto the growing trees that Bonesword was using in an attempt to keep him in place. Speaking of those trees, the two arms wielding spiked knuckles began tearing the treants from where they stood and tossed them overboard. He kept only one, swinging it down to interrupt Caesar's attempted slide attack. The oil-covered tree trunk met with Caesar's electro shield and caught ablaze! This only meant that the half-mink warrior was slammed in the chest by a flaming tree trunk.

The ball and chain kept swinging swinging swinging, the vacuum putting out Slick's flames before they could reach their target. Then came Boone's piercing shot! Surely that had to have caught him off guard! Nay, for the mighty split man lifted up his giant blazing club to act as a shield against the captain's specialty ammunition. How did he even know that was coming?! That's when the crew saw it. It wasn't just his arms that he had split into multiple parts. He had four pairs of eyes, lining all around his head. Full 360 degree vision. This clarity of vision didn't enlighten him as to the nature of Boone's attack however, and so he was expecting the tree trunk to stop the bullet entirely. The specialty piercing shot made it all the way through the flaming tree and struck Saban in the forehead, drawing blood. The shot was nowhere near as effective as it should have been, having lost most of its power traveling through the makeshift shield.

"Gah! Cedric D. Boone!" his voice bellowed. Saban lifted both pistol wielding arms toward the captain and fired multiple times with each gun. In the same motion he leaned forward to slam his trident down toward Bonesword. This had the unintended effect of him slipping on the copious amounts of oil spilled around the ship deck, throwing off his aim. "Waru waru Anansi form!" Two legs became eight, splitting off into an array of thin noodle-like support beams, allowing him to catch his balance and move around reliably on the slick battlefield.

A number of more cannon fodder charged after Kite and Lilliana, but it was clear they were no match for the two pirates. Whether it be a wrench or bio-metal punch, they were already weakened and easily knocked aside. Even the ones with guns couldn't get off a shot on the duo before being tossed aside with minimal effort.

Meanwhile, Feya's plan to catch Krabbe by surprise with a suplex was implemented perfectly. His exposed head crashed through the upper deck of his ship, leaving the lower half of his body to flail about comically. Various insults and curses could be heard muffled from below. "Captain Krabbe!" called out a sailor, concerned for the well being of his superior. He needn't have been worried, for John Krabbe freed himself with a mighty thrashing motion, tearing apart the floor restraining him, flipping in mid-air, and jumping back up to deck. Feya's attack had bloodied his face a little, as evidenced by the trickle falling over his bloodshot eye.

"Stop this fight now! My first mate Saban has recalled all of the Shrimp Brigade into his original form! Without his ego and power being distributed among multiple bodies, he'll go crazy and kill us all! We've got to work together to knock him out!"

Worm - The Malfesant Throne

@Old Amsterdam@SkinnyTy The trigger looks good to me. Long term problem resulting in a single event pushing over the edge.

Worm - The Malfesant Throne

@SkinnyTy Link is in my signature, Denver Capes: A Worm RP. And you're welcome about the character tab advice.

Worm - The Malfesant Throne

@SkinnyTy Characters don't get posted in the character tab until they've been reviewed and accepted by a GM. First it's posted here in the OOC tab until it's approved/denied.

Worm - The Malfesant Throne

@ProPro ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@SkinnyTy

I have zero intentions of knocking Sickle, he's been doing a great job, but CoD has been going quite strong for over a year at this point when most RPs don't make it passed 2-3 months. I'd love to have a new player.

Worm - The Malfesant Throne

I'm a huge an of Worm, and I gotta admit that the announcement of Worm 2 has me super hyped. It really put me in the mood for RP, I googled Worm RP and this was the most promising result. Any chance I can join late??

@SkinnyTy

Most promising? Well... *Goes to cry in the corner*

Worm - The Malfesant Throne

@ProPro@Sickle-cell
Hey guys, so are we good to call it and move along at this point, or do we want to give @FancyHats more time?

@hagroden

I'm definitely good to move forward full steam. They haven't been on in 8 days, that's not a good sign.

Worm - The Malfesant Throne

@Old Amsterdam Good point. He is the anti Alice :-P

@Sickle-cell

That was the original concept of his creation, actually. "Toxic can get too crazy and needs a hard counter. BACTERIA SCIENCE!"
