Argus: "Hey, I really was trying there, I thought everybody would like awesome fireworks. Besides, there was rock candy too."

I miss goofy Argus . . . I want to go back to goofy Argus . . . why is this character such a mess sometimes? because his writer didn't know what to do with him at first, and has been tossing him from concept to concept for months

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

Finally posted after forever, Argus should probably be kept out of commission lest he does some pretty bad damage to his body. Also@LmpkioThose were the kinds of fireworks he was planning on giving Marlene as an 'I'm sorry gift', so . . . don't take gifts from Argus, cause they're potentially dangerous to your health and, unlike him, you can't patch yourself from nearly anything that isn't a mortal injury(even if doing so hurts like absolute hell afterwards)

Argus Leandros

As every set to trying to damage the creature in someway, Argus was placing one more lacrima within the creature's shoulder-ish area when, suddenly, the entire thing rumbled, apparently tired of playing target for them all. Unfortunately for Argus, who was by far the closest to the creature, he had very little time to react before the flesh he clung to turned into a barrage of fetid spears, stabbing clean through him in several places and filling his body with a pervasive and draining poison. The tendrils would take him crashing to the ground and would leave him pinned there for a moment, the pain making him unable to properly think for a moment.

Then, a line of crimson flames would erupt to life around him, destroying the tendrils as well due to the the Commander's reduction of it's magical resistances. However, that did little to settle the problem of the very big holes in Argus' gut, arms, and legs, something which had the young mage screaming in primal agony, but with his rage came power as he focused all of his energy into his wounds, causing them all to spit out tongue's of crimson flame as he struggled to stand, his legs so close to giving out that he had to divert some energy to re-quipping Crimson Nightmare to serve as a sort of crutch, leaning his weight agianst the Dragon bone blade as his magic began to cleanse his body of the sickness that had invaded it. However, the process was hardly a gentle one in and of itself, and he knew that in doing this, as his powers currently were, he'd be unable to do much in the way of moving without doing more harm to his body than good. Besides, as he saw the other guild members launch their attacks at the abomination, he felt that his help wouldn't be needed.

Especially once they set off my little surprises.

As such, Argus would sort of hobble his way over to where the Commander currently was, his teeth clenched as his wounds began to close-up, the poison now purged from his system, and he knew he had little time before the aftershocks hit him, and he'd rather be in safe hands before that happened. Well, safer than that giant abomination of nature, anyway

While this was happening . . .

As all of Frenzy Plant began to unload upon the creature, their combined attacks would set off the three lacrima that Argus had managed to place inside of the creature's body, each one shining brilliantly within it's fetid depths before letting loose their payload. In the creatures thigh, torso area, and somewhere near it's shoulder, three small, but concentrated, explosions of multi-colored fire would burst through the surface of the creature's flesh, setting it alight with fire as it was soon followed by more and more explosions, each one shooting upward both inside and outside the creature aways before exploding into a dazzling light show. These fireworks, normally, wouldn't do much to such a thing after the initial explosion. However, these fireworks were made using much more destructive magics then the garden variety ones, and as such, while they looked much cooler than even the fireworks one would find at events, they were also several times more dangerous than those ones as well, and were very, very illegal, a fact Argus was not aware of when he had been given them as part of his payment for a job(the person in question simply trying to pawn them off to someone else when authorities showed up to check him).

As such, the damages they'd reap on the creature, while probably less significant than that of the other attacks being launched at it, would definitely hurt the creature and, at the very least, create some openings for others to take advantage of. Also, it'd make the entire battle feel a tad more festive(expect for Gaberial, who was actually kind of in a lot of danger due to the fact that some of the fireworks would be flying at him as they escaped the beast.)

---

As the others fought, Argus would basically walk over to the mainforce of Frenzy Plant's forces, and then promptly collapse, barely keeping himself from crying out as his wounds suddenly flared with intense agony as the healing finally finished. He kept from fainting, but unless someone patched him up or he decided to push more of his energy into himself, he wouldn't be getting up anytime soon, having spent as much of the reserves as he could use with his current seal in place.

@Veiled AngelYeah, it sucked buuuut. . . after meeting the guy, I think I'll actually like the class a lot. Learned some interesting stuff today.

@TalijaKeyCool, and if Gemini stays MIA, then we could set things up so that Rasa gets Noibat, which would make for a. . . challenging first Pokemon given her long standing grudge for trainers and overall scheming nature.

Pokemon Gijinka [Always Accepting!]

@TalijaKeyI'm fine with either plan, though Noibat is going to complain a lot if we go the first route, since Z got her hopes up and everything. But this is your rodeo, so let Z do what you think he'd do, cause Noibat sure as hell has no plans.

Also, geminironin is still in this story, yes? Just super-busy or something?

@Feisty-PantsThe temptation to have Jaden suddenly blush and step in front of Vix saying: "A young lady should not expose herself in such a fashion until she is to be married!!! Especially to such ruffians!!!!" But alas, the scene doesn't allow for it.

D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

Hurrik, having just managed to keep a man from bleeding out from a rather savage-looking bite mark on his wrist, was currently taking a moment to rest again, drinking from his waterskin and overall wondering how long he'd be stuck down here playing nurse while the ruler of this place decided on what to do about the real problem. All he felt like he was doing down here was prolonging the inevitable or making the passage as painless as possible, but more than anything, he felt like he was simply keeping himself busy so he didn't have to much time to ponder on how much worse this situation could get.

His pondering was cut short, however, by a rather strange proclamation that cut through the clamor of the dead and dying.

"Hooo. Many dead. Where food?"

Looking towards the direction of the voice, he saw it to be one of those that had brought the group of villagers in. Apparently, whatever the guard had wanted of them was done with and they were set loose upon the keep, and this big lug had come into the Infirmary looking for food, of all things. Hurrik let out a harsh chuckle of amusement, looking towards the Half-orc for a moment, before getting up and walking over.

"Ain't no food here . . . none for those not on the edge of death, that is." Hurrik would state plainly, if gravelly as his throat seemed to fight against letting him speak a word, and was going to end it there when a thought entered his head that he felt a need to answer. "Whose the fool who . *cough* . *cough* . who told you that there would be food down here anyway/

Jaden's got a big heart, and a lot of courage . . . but he also lacks the concept of strategy, specifically the one that states that you shouldn't engage with foes that are(likely) stronger than you, and more importantly, greatly outnumber you. Ah well, he's got two trainer buddies and their pokeman's to back him up, so that's help him not get utterly wrecked.

Jaden Locke

A gentleman's duty

While Vix stumbled her way through the grass, Jaden would be silent, simply slowing his pace until he was behind her a bit and then, with nary a word, he would quite literally sweep her off her feet, carrying the small fire type pokemon in his surprisingly solid arms as if it was the most natural thing in the world . . . almost. One could see by his tendency to look to the side that even he found the action to be a bit much and a tad embarrassing(especially in front of twothree other people. That being said, Jaden couldn't just stand-by and watch her struggle like that, and since Vix seemed to be the prideful sort, if her actions were anything to go by, he knew she wouldn't ask for help no matter what.

"It reflects poorly on me if I let my team go through hardships like this needlessly, so I'm fine with carrying you through the tall grass, and before you protest, do note that I'm stubborn about this and nothing short of burning or clawing my eyes out will make me put you down. His tone left no room for question, though his attention would quickly turned away by Alexis' question which seemed . . . oddly specific and, if he was to be honest, rather unsporting of her to insinuate such a stipulation. As taken with Ghost pokemon as she might be, to claim them all as her own, even if he didn't really plan to 'catch' his pokemon per se, seemed like a rather rod declaration. "While you're free to travel with me and Vix for as long as our paths converge, I don't think I can truly accept your terms. I plan to ask individuals who seem interesting to join my group, and I see no need to limit my opportunities by handicapping myself any more than I already have. In any case, I also think that while specializing is well and fine, you should be certain to keep in mind your weaknesses and have answers to them, which may include pokemon of other typings. Just my thoughts on the matter."

Whatever the girl's reaction to his response, he would see shortly behind them being the other trainer he had met, Rasa, and he would've waved to her, but his hands were currently full with a possibly angry and/or embarrassed Vulpix. Thinking of Vix also brought thought sofrth about Alexis' partner, Shadow, and he wondered how he should apologize to the slightly older man for his own partner's actions, as well as if they were mute or not, as the Honedge had yet to speak for as long as he had known him(which was admittedly short, but still). However, his attention would be turned from his new traveling companions when he heard the sounds of crying heading their way. Looking between the boy and the gang of ruffians, he was quick to put two and two together and see that they were accosting the poor lad. However, what really made his blood boil was when the lowlives bragged about stealing a pokemon from the boy and, to make matters worse, began to insult the pokemon inside it, before one claimed that he was the boss of it simply because he held it's pokeball.

Properly enraged by this horrid display, he gently let Vix down before stepping forward to grab a rock from the ground. Taking a second to aim, he drew his arm back, before hurling it strait at the head hooligan's hand in an attempt to make him drop the Pokeball. Afterwards, he would brazenly step forward, hsi ice-blue eyes glaring holes through the lot of them.

"Now see here you bottom-feeding neanderthals, I will ask you only once to politely step-down and return to this boy his Partner, as you have no right to separate the two, especially in such an ill-begotten matter. If you refuse, then I'm sad to say that it'll be up to me and my partner to teach you all proper manners, which I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to practice once the authorities throw the lot of you into prison for you misdeeds." Now, while Jaden might've looked and sounded inspiring to anyone taking just his words into account, one has to remember that he is not only a newbie trainer with but a single pokemon to his name, but he was challenging an entire group of more-than-likely violent criminals while also telling them of his plans to alert the authorities to their activities. As far as plans go, his was neither the brightest nor the most logical, fueled by emotion, righteousness, zeal, and very little else.

Noibat

"Boo. . . Ya give in too easily, Z." Noibat would say, making a face before releasing the dark-type, rolling to aside to let him up. As he asked about where she'd been, she seemed to take a second to ponder the question, before jumping up from her back to her feet without a single misstep, explaining as she dusted herself off. "I dunno, around? Ya know I like to travel around a bit when the pickings get slim 'round here. What's the matter, didja really miss lil' ol' me that much?

Noibat would say the last bit, while fluttering her eyes in a mockingly seductive manner, even taking a second to pose before quickly breaking the facade with a burst of laughter, unable to take herself even a smidgen seriously. Following behind Z, she listened to what he had to say, the smile on her face growing much wider as he laid out his plan for the day.

"I'm always ready ta knock them traders down a peg, or five. Any one of 'em will do, really, the newbies are always really gullible and easy to steal from. Prep the sweet-tooth, Z, we've got some business to do." With that said, Noibat would(as she always did)start taking the lead, grabbing on to Zorua's hand and dragging him forward towards Route 1, eagerly anticipating all of the stuff she could get from the money she got from selling those stupid pokeballs, as well as the other stuff trainers tended to have on them when they started on their journey.
