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.

Damian Gerard|Repairing the Rifts



Damian shrugged, glancing down through the skylight in the guild hall's roof at the gathering of people. That was part of why he'd bothered coming in today, besides getting to see Penny. It was time that Phoenix Wing's S-Class wizards all had a talk with each other. Damian had seen a pattern recently, a disconnect between the three of them that shouldn't have existed, but with all of them leading their own lives, it couldn't be helped. "I don't know yet, but I don't think I will be. Depends on what Zero and Zenoram ask for and what we S-Class decide. Come on, let's find Mayt. We all need to talk."

Leading the way off the roof, Damian entered the guild hall and made straight for the third S-Class before leading the pair back to one of the side meeting rooms and closing the door behind them. Once they were seated, he joined them and sighed. "So, first time in awhile the three of us have been in the same room."

James Hunt|A Test of Honor



Foreman Takafumi's eyes were bulging and he shouted orders at his men, directing those who'd still bothered to show up where to work with what they few could move and manage. When a man in gold armor and another younger man in leather approached him and the armored man informed him of who they were, he rounded on them. "IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME! You know how long ago I asked for help from the guilds? But noooo, the Grand fucking Magic Games start and suddenly no one has time for us! I don't care how historical the damned event is, WE NEED HELP!" James grimaced slightly at the man's language, but after a moment, he finally calmed down. "The last kidnapping was a couple of days ago. I, uh, gave chase, hoping to save him, but I couldn't catch up. All I know is they're somewhere in the eastern forest." James nods, thinking on the matter.

"Don't worry, Foreman, we'll get your people back and make sure the bridge is finished." Nodding, Takafumi returns to directing his men while the paladin leads Cody towards the indicated forest. "So, what do you think? Trick of the eyes perhaps? Seems sloppy to let him see which forest they were in." James knew it was overconfidence on the part of the gangs, but he wanted to test Cody's learning.

Jane Addeson|Forgiving is a Pain



When Isabelle initially reacted in surprise, Jane couldn't help but grin widely. "Of course I'm here! Where else would I find a beautiful woman with a penchant for dressing old fashioned?" She then noted the muted tone that Isabelle took and waited as the other woman explained herself. Jane couldn't say she was surprised if she was honest, the few dates she'd been on, with men and women, had been about the same, though her reason was much preferable to the "I found out you're a wizard" or the "you turned out to be really boring, especially since you wouldn't show off your magic earlier." Belle's reason felt...honest.

Or at least, as Jane got the sense there was something more, honest enough. Jane waved a dismissive hand as she took a seat next to her friend. "Water under the bridge love, you apologized for it instead of making up some half assed excuse. That's already a win in my book." The letter, which the requip mage took a great of amount of ceremony to lay out, caused the energy blade user some concern, both for her friend and her own relationship with the rest of the guild.

The only name she knew well from Phoenix Wing was Damian, and he was more by reputation than personally, and Isabella had been the first person to talk to her after her recovery and not be some kind of giant prick. But, she knew that an answer to the dilemma was the only thing that would help the entertainer, so, with a sigh, she spoke as she squeezed Isabella's hand back. "Well, there's no denying it's a rather fantastic opportunity. Hell, dad would be jealous if he were still here. But...well, what about Bullet? And me? And the guild? You're a big part of everyone's lives here and, well, I can't speak for everyone, but I don't want to see you leave." She chuckled a small, sad chuckle. "Hell, I would HATE for you to leave."
GM POST


Doom Train


Day/Time: Day Three-Morning
Location: Doom Train
Tagging: Six@Majoras End, The Heavy@ONL, Akira@Tenma Tendo, Slayer@Lugubrious





After Six signed her story to her companions, the train's whistle blew twice before the PA came alive and the Headless Horseman once more spoke over the loud speaker. "Attention passengers, in order to help kill the time, I'm allowing for team fighting matches! The only rule? No killing! Seriously, the mess is a pain to clean up later and then there's the whole "their souls need returned to their realm for respawn" which is an even bigger pain. Oh, to win, stay standing. Heroes, You'll be the team to beat! Enjoy yourselves and consider this a warm up! King Boo's Boo's aren't going to fight fair, so don't be afraid to get down and dirty!" The PA cuts again and the monsters can be seen getting teams together and heading for the group of four.

The first to reach them was a group consisting of a werewolf whose body had been augmented with machines that pumped green liquid into it and metal augmented claws, humanoid thing mostly covered in armor, but it's skin was the wrong color and skin was missing around it's mouth, wielding a great ax, what was clearly an undead abomination, with three arms, one wielding a hook, and the other two giant meat cleavers, with a giant mouth thing in it's gut, and man in full plate armor wielding a sword with glowing runes the length of it's blade, never mind the glowing ball of Light that topped it.

The mummies they had been sharing the seats with quickly made themselves scarce and after a moment of sizing each other up, the man in armor approached them. "I am Darion Mograine, leader of the Four Horsemen and second in command to the Deathlord of the Ebon Blade. My companions are Warwick, the Uncaged Wrath of Zaun, wherever that might be, a Hulock Alpha who calls himself Executor and the Abomination Giggles. We offer a chance to test your skill before you face King Boo and, should you best us, I will join you on your return to Tetris Castle. I need to speak with Artanis anyways."

A purple barrier appeared around the group of eight, but before any questions can be raised, the PA comes alive again. "I don't want collateral damage either, so stay in the bubble!" Silence returned and the group of four squared off with the heroes; Giggles with Heavy, Warwick with Slayer, Darion with Six, and Executor with Akira. A count down appeared between the two groups.

"3, 2, 1...FIGHT!"


Darion fired a green skull at Six from the tip of his sword as Giggles threw it's hook at Heavy. Executor made to deliver a heavy overhead swing at Akira as he charged him and Warwick, after unleashing a vicious howl, charged Slayer and made to unleash a series of slashes with his claws.




XP INITIATED!


GM Note: From now on, all players will be required to keep track of their word count. XP will be awarded every GM post. Be sure to check the XP hider to see how much XP your character earned. Remember to keep your CSes updated. I have seen players slack in keeping their XP up-to-date and they have lost XP points because of it. I didn't take the XP away from them, they just didn't keep track of the XP on their own. It is YOUR responsibility if you want your character to level.

P.O.

If a player is inactive for more than 3 days without letting the GMs know of any delays, then the player can be skipped over on the 4th day. If a player does not wish to post, they can Mention the GM and let the GM know he or she "Passes" on his or her turn.

P.O.: Slayer, Akira, Heavy, and Six.
Name: Damian Seran
Role: Soldier 1
Location: Junon
Tag:All SOLDIER 1st Class


Two minutes ticked onto the clock as he finished his call and Damian grimaced, realizing they didn't have time for the EOD to arrive. But he also wasn't equipped to defuse a bomb. But if he could get it to higher ground...he was going to need help, and he was fortunate that anyone who could offer it was nearby. Opening his phone, he was already moving to inspect the bomb for any means used to secure it. "All SOLDIER 1st Classes, this is Damian Seran. There is a bomb placed at the bottom of the Sister Ray at my coordinates. I've already forwarded them to you and need you here now. We have less than two minutes to save the Sister Ray and Junon."

Finding nothing, Damian instead called on his magic and prepared a 4x-Cut. If nothing else, he could try cutting the bomb wires and hope that cutting them all at once would do the trick and not send them all to an early grave.
I'll post after work.
Ok, no one else has commented, but neither have they posted IC. I'm going to make the decision to start some combat to give everyone something tangible to do.


Yeah, was kinda my issue. I'm sniping after all XD

Nighshade Siliphum, or something like that, is her Dark Guild.
Elias Joranis|In the aftermath


Elias grunted at what Sirka says about Koren, but is silent for several moments after she stops speaking. Geonosis, Naboo, Chandrillia, though the New Republic didn't much care for smugglers as it rebuilt, and many other worlds came and left as he scrolled before he sighed and closed the list. "I suppose it's a case of the devil you know. Just...don't be so sure about Koren Graeff. I don't know much about the man than you do, but everyone has their own motives, and it's those who don't share you should watch out for."

He unlocked the door to the cockpit and opened it, glancing down it's short hallway. "Sure is taking awhile to get the food. Hope she didn't fall into one of the old smuggling compartments. I have a few people sized ones for hiding when being boarded or searched for."
Junior Lieutenant Aryo Jameson|On Patrol


Aryo, as was his job when the 12th was on patrol and he was with them, hung near the back of the formation of MAS's, his cannon already in hand due to it's unwieldy size. He could see the Coalition sniper had had a similar idea to his, since they both knew the snipers weren't exactly "draw fast when shit hits the fan" type weapons. Of course, his looking at the Coalition sniper was short lived, as he could see the one man who'd avoided taking a fatal shot from the Archer he flew, Raul Tigres, the Bloody Valkyrie.

He had crossed paths with the man a couple of times prior to these peace talks, and the pair had never come away from the bouts unscathed, though Aryo admitted to being the worse for wear of the two, since he DID specialize in long-ranged combat over close range when it came to MAS piloting. If he ever met Raul on the ground without his MAS, well, that was an entirely different ball game as far as the sniper was concerned. Noting that Raul had looked his way, he offered the man a nod of his MAS's head before returning to his vigil.




Just moments before anything good could come from the first non-hostile interaction between the pilots of the two warring sides, chaos erupted as the Coalition ship, the Perseus, exploded in a brilliant ball of flame and debris. True to instinct, the majority of both squads of MAS's, Imperial and Coalition alike fell back, both confused about what had happened. But a split second later, two things happened; the first was his read out as his sensors lit up targets.

> WARNING: Coalition weapon signatures detected. Nearest target:...

And the second was the Coalition MAS opening fire on the 12th's own newly arrived newbie. Nix had, before all hell had broken loose, called for the team to fall into formation, though the sniper ignored him. He didn't much care for Nix's habits of taking command from Shaw, and he already had standing orders from their commander. The only good idea Nix had was the two of them dealing with the Bloody Valkyrie together if it came to that, which if something wasn't done about the Coalition suit soon, it would. Opening the squad wide channel, Aryo spoke. "Chew my ass later." His sniper came up, ready to fire, and after a moment of no movement, fired. For the split second that existed between the round finding a mark and when the MAS had fired, it could be assumed he'd aimed center mass on the enemy rookie, but impact proved that to be wrong. The Coalition's rookie would find that his autocannon had been turned into two twisted pieces of scrap metal, useless for little more than some more target practice.

The sniper's voice came over the short-range COMS. "Keep a tighter leash on your rookie, or the next one won't be non-lethal." There had been no orders to open fire on the MAS units themselves, and there was still a chance to recover the situation, especially since the Coalition's pilot was still alive.
Elias Joranis|In the aftermath


Elias snorted at the casual threat made with the request. "Trust me, though you already know it, she don't need me to say anything for her to get a big head." Standing, Elias heads to the navigation read out and pulls up a couple of different maps, one of Hutt Space, and one of the Outer Rim. "Ya know, after this job...well, you and Delni ever consider trying to find work outside of Hutt space?" Elias had, even done jobs for a few people in the Outer Rim, people far less likely to put a bounty on your head just because you didn't hang the poor bastard who they sent you after by his entrails as an example. There was a reason Elias's bounty hunter work was little and what bounties he did take were far between.

"They're some pretty reasonable folk out in the Outer Rim, though I suppose the pay isn't what it is here in Hutt space." And that was likely, Elias mused as he looked over various planets, why he kept coming back to Hutt Space despite the bounties and rampant backstabbing, among other issues. He was never short on credits, but the thrill in the Outer Rim was considerably less than in Hutt Space, as was the pay, and he relied on the pay to help his family back on Coruscant move up in life, since they wouldn't do it themselves.
Elias Joranis|In the aftermath


Surprisingly, Elias didn't find himself smashing the barrel of his blaster into Sirka's chin as she rammed him against the console, thanks largely in part to Delni. More words were exchanged and then Delni took her leave, apologizing for the meat. "Used to have a Wookie as a first mate. Trust me, I've got plenty of meat." She left and Elias, for the sake of some privacy, though he was sure Sol'id was likely cleaning his blaster in the crew quarters, closed the door to the cockpit and locked it so he could count on no interruptions.

Once Sirka was done, Elias nodded before speaking, pulling out a flask of brandy and taking a sip. "Your sister asked me, likely sometime after you'd left, what was in the alcohol I'd given you guys. I told her straight that it was Mandalorian Ale. To keep this short and to the point, she suggested we meet up at my ship, though what she thought was going to happen and what I was going to allow were two different things. I have one of Koren's droids keep me trapped in my room til I'm sober, if that's any indication of how much trouble I've gotten in, so I figured it would be better if she got sober with me around than in the room of someone who would have actually taken advantage of her and kicking herself for it." He took another sip from the flask before putting the lid on and setting it aside.

"On my way to my ship, one of Koren's droids caught me and told me about the job on Circumtore, provided me with the means to hire protection, and sent me on my way with a warning that it should tell me how happy he was with me at the time. Still not sure what he meant by that. Anyways, I panicked and rushed to get help and then rushed to get us on our way to the final destination. When I went to get my grenades, I found Delni on my bed and it came rushing back to me. The rest you know."
