@Absolis The RP is plotless.

That makes him mainstream.

Fuck we all know he's a hipster at heart.

<Snipped quote by Savato>

That's your fault. If the ethereal hadn't been so pushy, perhaps he could have seen a bit more.

Hmph, ungrateful alien overlord.

@Absolis

It's a sad, burned out overlord with his hands tied to a plot~ Well, not really a plot but with events in Arcadia.

Multiverse Rising (Always in need of New Friends)

@Absolis Yes I forgot, we did indeed say hello to Conablum labs.

Was brief though so I practically forgot.

Multiverse Rising (Always in need of New Friends)

@SgtEasy We didn't explore a new universe yet.

But the Dark Outliners have been using them to get into 'dead' universes with no signs of intelligent life.

Multiverse Rising (Always in need of New Friends)

And now Ruiko is in a conundrum, isn't she? Side with Nova and potentially get natural Esper powers without the Level Upper (And without the mental side effects that come from being a psyker in WH40K, presumably), or side with the Ethereal because he has Mikoto with him. Decisions, decisions....

@Flamelord

Depending on the outcome, the Ethereal might remind how much the righteous 'good side' has been beneficial to her. Also that Nova has already failed in his previous endeavor.

Also Mikasa yah.

Multiverse Rising (Always in need of New Friends)

@Absolis Oh well it's pretty justified there~

Multiverse Rising (Always in need of New Friends)

@Mtntopview Does he find the Conquerors ... Logical?

@SgtEasy If you speak of Pirouette's fleet they're kind of heroes.

If you speak of neutral Yakuza, may not work so well.

Multiverse Rising (Always in need of New Friends)

@Absolis He made that hut. if anyone can own Nova, it's that thing

New York - Kolon's Hut, Arcadia-1

Right out of the blue the Kolons went full Oompa Loompa on the intimidating monsters of the group by holding their hands and dragging them into their makeshift base. The Ethereal couldn't quite grasp the situation as it seemed a little too surreal, even for such a strange psionic being like it. Apocalypse rejected them eventually, and seemed to behave in a non-hostile manner toward them, a just as bizarre thing to observe from such a beast. The alien could only conclude that its sentience did have its effect on its linear purpose in existence. It was convinced that eventually Apocalypse would likely transcend this simple goal, for better or for worse. The fact that, despite its aggressiveness, didn't actually display any real violence to the Outliners only increased the overlord's expectations concerning its evolution.

As for Ruiko, the alien wasn't too satisfied that it would be separated from her, mostly because there were powerful energy sources everywhere. These Yakuza, even if they were peaceful, still displayed a force mighty enough to quickly kill her, especially after what she displayed against only four Berserkers. Though these worries would quickly be brushed away by the immense amount of information held in this building. The technology was insanely advanced, transcending Conablum labs and likely theirs as well. The hardware seemed easy enough to replicate, however when attempting to decode what they held, the extraterrestrial could barely make anything of it. What this held was beyond knowledge, beyond information it could simply gather. To the Ethereal, this was almost madness. It would only be thanks to Biollante that it would have stopped burning its mind on the subject.

"Hmmm. Very well. Have it extracted by the Mechtoids and delivered to the Research Overseer. Also, supervise Ruiko Saten. We may have to evacuate in a hurry."

It ordered Biollante before reaching the room the Kolons had brought Nova's regenerating body to. Upon witnessing the abomination, the alien was at a loss for words. Data displayed Nova's power and the Ethereal was clearly aware of what it could entail, but as a Psionic, what it felt was beyond what it could imagine. Never has it encountered such a being. The Psychic energy coming from this "man's" body was evidently superior to the 'Gift' in many ways, but also resembled it a lot. While Apocalypse was indeed a stunt to play with, if they were to attempt to control this, they would likely be going against their very principles as The Dark Outliners. But in the end, whether they'd like it or not, Nova was their enemy and would bring forth complications no matter the alternative.

They needed to stop his awakening, or seal him long enough from his powers to eventually understand and regulate it. Alone, it couldn't do this, it needed at least another superior mind at hand.

'Conablum. Synchronize your teleporter with this one. Your immediate presence is urgently needed.'

'Biollante. Prepare the Terminal, evacuation may be at a moment's reach.'

It pleaded, making it very clear that there was a very good reason for her to come at this very moment. Both Biollate and Ruiko heard the second transmission, they would not be ignorant of the potential end of times Arcadia may face if they would not control this situation. The Alien knew very well that with Nova's return, and the power he had displayed, there'd be no reason for him to not simply lay waste to everything in this world. After all, it was safe to assume he was defending his followers long enough for them to use that portal they had detected.

"Kolon, Rivard. We must prevent this man from awakening, for now. Is there anything in your arsenal capable of this type of feat? There is no time to waste."

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Noëlle Chrysos

In the Airship

@Crimmy@Onarax@Sho Minazuki

Noëlle didn't feel as bad about judging Varius once her leader clearly confirmed that the guy wasn't the most enjoyable of people and that she was lucky to catch him on a good day. That wasn't a hue issue, the blonde of the team had already handled a few social baskets in her school life and this guy didn't seem to be particularly bad with all things considered. With the boss' consent, she left her bag where he intended to put it and proceeded to find the pyromaniac of the squad.

Well not quite, her sight was not captured by the person in question but by the weapon he balanced on his lap like some kind of Shaolin Monk doing some random, crazy exercise. The first thing that came to mind when seeing that massive staff wouldn't be fire lover or crazy destroyer of the team but rather compensation jokes around his need to have such a big tool. She didn't find it bizarre, as ridiculous weapons were a common sight among hunters these days, but it still came as a surprise that he didn't at least have it in a more compact form to move around. Or maybe he was just showing off. A pyromaniac showing off what he's packing, seemed to fit the bill. But as she got to study his frame a little more, the absurdity that was Taidan became a lot less clear than what she had envisioned.

His clothes seemed negligible given his notoriety and the general diversity among Hunters in Remnant, but it was his face that made Noëlle question her thoughts on him. Okay, he had a gas mask, that screamed psycho killer more than anything, but otherwise he seemed relatively normal, heck he was handsome. An eerie Ted Bundy feel came in mind, perhaps he was one of those charismatic psychopaths. Then again he'd likely be kicked out of school if psychological tests were to determine that. The positive presence he had, especially when greeting the newcomer, did make Noëlle feel a bit better. So in total, with every contradicting idea and impressions she was giving him as well as his almost effeminate appearance, only one term could clearly define this kind of living enigma.

Definitely gay. Or he's a troll.

All definitions of the term applied to this young man, and she didn't feel bad for thinking it. It wasn't like she was going to go around and call him random things from the get go. Instead, she'd very lazily squat down under the massive staff's shaft so she could grab a seat next to the ray of sunshine of the team. There was something inviting about him once she got through the serial killer prejudice.

"Hey there Taidan. Guess you already know my name so ... Yeah. Wait, have we met before?"

The inquiry was definitely strange as she had likely never met him before, but his features and body language reminded her of something she had seen more than once. Chances are pictures of his particularly magnetizing appearance circulated in various internet media she'd spend most of her hours on. But because she wasn't actually a massive fan of such trends, she didn't really know if her hunch was true or not, maybe he just looked like one of those pretty boys young girls these days get all fuzzy about.

Then came the leader, fully equipped with what seemed to be his weapons. She appeared to be the only one without some flashy tool in plain sight. Not that it mattered, carrying such big stuff would only add more weight to her attire and thus make hunting a whole lot more of a pain than it should be. On his order, the airship would take off. Noëlle's lethargic composure would cause her to go complete rag doll during the initial takeoff, after all it wasn't the softest moment of the flight. Her body would collide with Taidan's, quite unfortunately knocking off his gas mask in the process.

"Ugh shit, sorry."

After going through one air flight, she wasn't in her best. She looked left and right after regaining her composure to see if the mask had fallen somewhere nearby or perhaps Taidan's strange ninja skills from beyond had saved the day here. At least he didn't get a bunch of milkshake all over his pants and crotch.

"Can't say I'm a fan of these ships. Oh hey, want one of these? I mean after this awkward stuff, I guess my only choice now is to buy myself into the group, right?"

She jokingly claimed as she took out a few bars of chocolate from her skirt's pocket. Most were flat and evidently not that big since they all fit in her pocket, but they were reputable treats from Haven that were always a delight to have once in a while. She also waved at Kiran, offering him the same deal as she took a sip from her shake kept safely on her other hand. If Varius wanted some, he could come right ahead, she wasn't going to discriminate him on the grounds that he was a confirmed asshole by his leader.
