Current Sometimes you spend so long looking for peace in someone else, you loose sight of that peace you can give yourself. Don't forget that guys.

I thought we agreed Harold was going for the harem.
@Caits

For character backstory reasons, what would you say the attitude toward magic was roughly twenty years ago IC time?


We as GMs have asked similar questions. If memory serves, it was still pretty hostile, but starting to warm back up to it. Where as before, magic would get you ostracized from your community at best and killed in your sleep at worst, 20 years prior, if the magic was deemed "helpful", you were basically put in charge of whatever your magic was deemed helpful for and respected, if grudgingly.
Corporal James Hunt|Vacation with Strings


James smiled and nodded in agreement with Lily's idea, the grin only growing wider at her embarrassment. On that note, he faintly made a mental note to have a word with the new arrivals that playing matchmaker won't be tolerated, especially if they're in the middle of a deployment. "That sounds like a wonderful plan. Though I'm going to take a real shower before I do any exploring. The ones in the barracks just...don't do the trick."
<Snipped quote by Zarkun>

Actually, I fear that Eris is enjoying this more than she's supposed to. Such a talk may as well become necessary.


I'll keep that in mind for after the time skip XD
@LuckyBlackCat@Darkmoon Angel

The trainer didn't answer any of their challenges, nor did his Excadrill make a move to attack. He simply appraised the three and Tommy began to grow nervous. This guy was clearly skilled, and he seemed to simply be deciding on if he wanted to waste his time on them. However, a sound came from the man just as Tommy was about to lead the attack, one of laughter followed by a mocking tone as he spoke. "Do I know what I'm doing by chasing Entei? Of course I know what I'm causing! And it's going exactly as it should. Humanity is a blight on this world that should be solely occupied by Pokemon, or perhaps I should say ruled by them. Entei is only the beginning as well." He strolled up to stand next to the Excadrill, resting a hand on it.

"If we can make Entei angry enough, he will attempt to awaken the power of the fearsome Legendary Pokemon of the Land that sleeps within this volcano, Groudon! And then I will go and awaken Kyogre from her slumber in the deep ocean. Though I must say, I'm surprised those village idiots were able to find someone to investigate my activities here on the mountain." Tommy narrowed his eyes, growing determined.

"You're a sick man, and I don't think I agree with you aggravating Entei for your own ends. You will stop, or the three of us will make you." The man laughed at that statement and the Excadrill grinned wickedly, a terrifying sight on normally amicable Pokemon.

"I can hear the conviction in your voice, boy. But I'm not sure your friends are as brave."




Alicia Harnick

Level: 1
Day/Time: Day Two
Location: Platform City-War Room, Tetris Castle
Interacting: James Varrock
Mention: Guile@Holy Soldier, Frisk Dreemur@Guardian Angel Haruki, Cloud Strife@Holy Soldier, Fox and Banjo-Kazooie@Etherean Fire, Rosalina@Holy Soldier


Alicia paid attention to all the advice given given, though some of it was a standard practice amongst the Vanguard already, such as staying with the team and working together. She cast a meaningful look back towards James, who remained silent during the exchange, but even she could tell under his helmet, which he had yet to remove since coming back, that he was frustrated and angry about something. However, she returned her attention to Guile as he spoke again, dismissing the four members of the Dream Land team to go to the infirmary to receive their vaccinations against the Mugen Virus.

As she walked, James walked next to her, as she'd opted to take an elevator entrance further from the main one. "You seem angry." James didn't immediately respond, and Charger materialized between the two Guardians, his eye set in something of a frowning position.

"The mission James and I were on did not go as smoothly as had been hoped for. Many of the Heroes who had arrived ahead of us and departed with us-" James cut off his Ghost, irritating the floating spiked orb, but illiciting no argument from him right then.

"They damn well fled like Fallen Dreg who had just had their Captain slain in front of their eyes while the Vandals are trying to keep things together as we slice through them like a scalpel. From what I gathered at the debriefing, we ended with less than half the heroes we left with, and at least one casualty. It was..." Charger snagged the opportunity to speak again.

"It was, to be quite frank, a disaster. Guile and all of the veterans are hoping that this mission won't be such a mess, to put it as bluntly as possible." Alicia nodded, stopping outside the elevator and facing her compatriot as he stopped across from her.

"Any words of advice then? Something to keep the four, five if you count the bird in the back pack, of us from getting killed?" James nods, removing his helmet to reveal a rather grim countenance.

"Get to know your team, but also don't underestimate your enemy. We faced a man who could see the rounds I fired from the Imago Loop and deflect them. We're really out of our element here." Nodding her understanding, Alicia enters the portal that made the elevator as the Nightstalker went to find out if there was a target range. He needed to burn some frustration.




If she was being honest, the sight of the Ragnarok was something of a surprise. Back home, she knew that Dead Orbit had invested an impressive amount of time and effort into getting a fleet of capitol ships into working condition for scouting the perimeter of the Solar System, but she'd never seen them before. The sight of this dragon ship, on the other hand, was something she wasn't likely to forget anytime soon. As they walked, she took stock of her team, from the small child who had been placed in charge of the mission to the swordsman with the giant sword and eyes reminiscent of one of her fellow Awoken, though he was clearly a normal human. The bear and bird that had come together, the latter living in a backpack on the bear's back, was an interesting sight, but nothing she couldn't get used to.

She followed Guile and the others up the loading ramp to where she was introduced to the surprise they had for this King Dedede and frowned. What was wrong with the fat, ugly man that whatever was keeping him from farting was causing him to blow up like a beach ball. Of course, the unhealthily skinny man tied to him didn't escape her notice either and she questioned just how strange things would be here outside her own universe. Well, I suppose it can't be much stranger than things are back home. Or at least, I hope they can't.




After what seemed to be a short flight, Alicia found herself looking down on the landscape of Dream Land, a world very different from Earth, Mars, Venus, or the Moon's Sea of Storms. In many ways, it was refreshing. All the color unblemished by the ruins of Humanity's ultimately failed attempts at expanding their civilization as well as defending what had been on Earth for centuries was impressive and comforting. For The Stalwart, it meant that at least in some universes, there was an unending war being fought. She watched the landscape change as they flew through various zones, though she knew not any of their names.

However, as they came upon one point, there was only a crater, something that caused both Guile and the goddess Rosalina some concern, which had the Striker pulling The 4th Horseman off her back and watching the entrances to the Ragnarok's interior. However, while she kept her vigil, Guile opened the door to allow a pink ball with feet and tiny arms entrance. This fluff ball was introduced as Kirby, after he was allowed to torture the fat, ugly man who Alicia began to think had some vague ties to the theft of Mario's soul and hat. She watched her companions and noted that the sword wielding man had avoided eye contact with Kirby and frowned slightly. Did he know something she didn't? It wouldn't surprise her, since she'd never encountered basically everyone here before now, and she'd have to find the time to ask him later. Nodding to Kirby, she introduced herself after the child, who had named themselve's as Frisk Dreemur. "Alicia Harnick, Striker Titan with the Vanguard. Pleasure to meet you Kirby." However, she knew Guile made a good point about understanding the pink puffball. She didn't have Iron, who would have likely attempted to create a translation algorithm, but she didn't have him, so that was out.

However, the child had a solution right after she began trying to figure out some kind of solution and asked Kirby to say 'Ey once for yes and twice for no before asking two questions. She had to admit, it was a quick solution that would save them time in the long run.
Eh I'm a bit lost on what's going on in the IC..


Crimson's post happened before the two month time skip to where Nicodemus would have arrived at Phoenix Wing, he was just REALLY late getting it up XD Essentially, you're still waiting on Caits to reply to you. And she's waiting for replies from others.
Damian Gerard|The Calm Before the Storm



In the next two minutes, things happened just a little bit faster than Damian could keep up with as it was all unexpected. First Fleo joined the group, a member of the guild that Damian hadn't seen much of the last couple of months and whom he hoped was doing well, followed by the doors being thrown open by someone who was a lot of bravado and poorly concealed haughty attitude, though the Blade of Phoenix Wing would withhold final judgement until after getting to know him. Shortly after the doors were closed and Jarvis had moved to speak with the newcomer, the doors flew open with a shout from the guild master of Ryder's Blade, Fraquar. Apparently something had him incredibly aggravated, and it didn't seem to be Master Jamie.

While the doors were still open, Guild Master Sanders of Frenzy Plant arrived and greeted the Fraquar and Jamie. Certain that there couldn't be any one else about to blast open the doors for the next few minutes, Damian goes and closes them before approaching the three guild masters, standing slightly to Jamie's right. He hadn't had time to get around to it, but he had been meaning to ask if there were anymore "Belka incidents" or if any new information had come around from the incident, and before the guild masters began their meeting seemed like a good time to ask, but he would wait until the trio had spoken with each other.




Hunter Jorgenson|Striking While it’s still Hot



Rolling to the left of the falling spikes, Hunter slid into a ready stance as he came back to a standing position. Redirection, every time. Meaning she's not going to engage in a fight she doesn't have to. Easy weakness to exploit, since she's likely confident that I can't touch her if she doesn't want me to. Rushing in once more, Hunter doesn't use any magic, instead opting to simply attack in a flurry of martial arts blows. He needed to know if she was as avid to avoid a regular physical blow as she was a magic one.




James Hunt|A Student's Tribulation



James braced himself against the tremor by grasping the table, having not stood yet, but shrugged as he stood. "It's hard to say for certain, but regardless, we have a bridge to save, and we had best get moving." He trusted that the others in the guild could handle whatever problems were about to rise, as Cody needed this chance to improve himself.
@Zarkun @Darkmoon Angel Are both of you waiting for each other?


Waiting on Darkmoon.
Either or. If you need to do a time skip, short conversation is fine.
