Western Bledavik, Southern Road
Here the path splits in two once more. One path creates a small <sideroad> which leads up to the front door of a small, but quaint looking, hotel, the other leads up to the front <door> of a large, almost temple-like building. Above the doorway to this building is engraved the image of something like a cross with horns upon the top- the unmistakable insignia of the -Ethos-. This roadway continues to the <north>.

Marcus

Ashton (OOC) Er...are you doing it in secret or out openly?
Marcus (OOC) is a Rogue Etone! "We're this self-righteous little group that salvaged Cliste, a high tech Shevat artificial intelligence piece... We really dislike Erine and the way that the Ethos has 'strayed from the true path'."
Brin (OOC) nods, and lets Marcus set scene. Ashton, you would have come and told e, right? ^^.
Brin (OOC) says, "Told me, even."
Marcus (OOC) says, "Well... If its all right with you, my opening pose can be... Nah, on second thought, I'll pose the calm before the storm. Do I get explosives to set this place on fire explosively, Brin? :D"
Brin (OOC) says, "probably. Anything the thames could get you. Not building-blowing-up ones, but definitiely fire-starting ones."
Ashton (OOC) sounds good to me Brin.
Marcus (OOC) says, "Yaaaay. ^^"
Ashton (OOC) is terribly tired...
Marcus (OOC) says, "Which reminds me.. Brin, did the Rogues ever get around to getting spiffy neo-Etone robes? I want mine to be red. ^_^"
Marcus (OOC) says, "Not like I mean to be REALLY OBVIOUS, but stil."
Marcus (OOC) says, "That's okay, Ashton. I got 6 hours of sleep. I'm surviving off of 3 20-ounce sodas right now."
Ashton (OOC) says, "That's pretty much my story..."
Brin (OOC) says, "I dunno. If you want to ^^."
Ashton (OOC) says, "I stayed up until 3 working on the CV list, then I got up at 8 and resumed."
Marcus (OOC) exclaims, "I.. Didn't mean to have you slave over it. (X_X) I'm so sorry!"
Brin (OOC) says, "Yikes. I got okay sleep. Slept from 9am till 6pm."
Ashton (OOC) exclaims, "Don't worry about it!"
Ashton (OOC) thought it was fun! In his crazy mixed up mind.
Ashton (OOC) hates going to sleep. So childish.
Marcus (OOC) was up until 2 RPing.
Brin (OOC) exclaims, "Only 2? Pah!"
Ashton (OOC) says, "Well... Go ahead whenever you want to Marcus, I would like to have the last pose so I know what's going on if that's ok/"
Marcus (OOC) can't RP today. Woo.
It is only a natural evolution of thought to go from diagreement to opposition. 'I believe what you do not' is too simple a phrase to confuse with 'What you do is wrong'. And from there on, things just tumble downhill, don't they? For the streets of Bledavik are calm today, filled with but the common crowds which pass by the Ethos of Bledavik without much a thought or concern. For it is early morning--Not a peak hour for this part of town, all things considered. And that.. That is perfect. For beneath the pale, and unusually cloudy morning, a teenager has come to the Ethos, dressed in a set of proper Etone robes that he has not worn for quite a time. Think nothing of it as the Etone enters the Ethos, a back strapped to his back and his eyes full of dedication and a quiet, solid focus. Think nothing of it at all. Think nothing of it as he leaves not all that much later, edging quite a ways from the Ethos and as much into the sparse crowd as he can. And watch, watch, and perhaps think quite a b
...bit more of when the ring of a tiny explosion runs through the area. And while no walls crumble and nothing collapses to that small noise, it is obvious, obvious that something more is afoot as a side of the building takes fire.
Marcus (OOC) says, "UGH. (X_x)"
Marcus (OOC) votes that for the worst opening pose in existance. Drinks more soda.
Brin (OOC) poses, then. Wonders why the hell he would be here, but poses, nonetheless ^^.
Ashton (OOC) Has developed a tolereacne to being set on fire because that is how most people kill him. HA!
Marcus (OOC) curses!
Ashton (OOC) thinks it's fine if Casske comes along.
Marcus (OOC) asks, "What do you think, Brin?"
Ashton (OOC) pokes Brin?
Marcus (OOC) says, "He's posing, I think."
Ashton (OOC) ahs.
Casske has arrived.
Casske (OOC) says, "Heh, thanks... stupid Bledavik."
Marcus (OOC) says, "Bledavik is the worst city I ever built. It was also the first one. I guess that explains that."
The quiet, almost eerie morning lifts the haze of night off the town. It is a favourite time for this young minister to take his walk before sessions for the day, a time where the town is only half-awake, and he can be at ease, for lack of people breaking his usual business hours. It is a peaceful morning, as Brin takes a walk down the central market road of Bledavik, stopping occasionally to greet market sellers he has grown to know, and taking in the air. Speaking of which...the air seems that little less sweet this morning, the hint of....something tinging it black. Still, any number of things could explain it, as he continues. He notices an Etone robe among the crowd, and peers over curiously. It has been a while since he has seen one of those. Hmm. He idly makes his way toward it, if only to make pleasantries. He has become very skilled at that lately.
Ashton (OOC) is done with the CV dungeon site, but for some reason he cannot bring himself to close the window.
Marcus (OOC) exclaims, "The site owns you, for it is awesome!"
Marcus (OOC) coughs.
Marcus (OOC) says, "Your pose, Ashton. ^^"
Casske (OOC) asks, "What is the order?"
Marcus (OOC) says, "Marcus, Brin, Ashton, Casske."
Casske (OOC) says, "Aight, thank ya. ^^"
The air is thick about the city of Bledavik. The early morning hours do not bring many people into the streets. "Well" thought Ashton, "At least it's better than just about every other time of day here." He notices the unusual clouds in the sky. He ponders for a moment, and wonders why there are there in the first place. There has been a very long series of unusual events that happened as he came to town. He looksd at his trip funds, and decides to wonder to the marketplace for a quick breakfast. He walks along the street, and comes across the Ethos building. There was a young figure walking away from it in an Etone robe, which was normal.
Ashton (OOC) exclaims, "Ah Shit!! I hit the wrong button!"
Marcus (OOC) patpats. ^^ "'Sokay! We all hit return prematurely now and then."
Ashton (OOC) asks, "Mind if I repose?"
Marcus (OOC) says, "Not at all."

There was a young figure walking away from it in an Etone robe, which was normal. There was fire emitting from the side of the Ethos church, which was not. It took a few seconds for Ashton to link it all together, and a few seconds later, ,e was running very quickly to the Etone building shouting "Fire!! Fire!! The Ethos Church is on fire!!" Well, he thought in the back of his head, this place is more like hell than I thought.
Ashton (OOC) says, "I gotta rake a few leaves right now."
Marcus (OOC) nods.
Casske stumbles down the road, glancing about him wearily, his eyes dark and deep set. He comes down heavy with each step, his shoulders slouch, and he coughs weakly as he digs through his pocket, pulling out his wallet. Casske is not a happy Gebler. His eyes twitch slighty as they lock onto a small vendor, selling various forms of remedies and potions. He walks over, wiping a bit of liquid from his stuffy nose, tossing some G out onto the counter. "I want teh stronkest nazal medisine you hahve..." The vendor pulls out a small bottle from under the counter, labeled "Rosesol Vapor." Casske becomes livid. "What teh hell is dis crap!? I can get stuff better than dis for hafeh what I gahve you!" Casske moans in defeat. This was something he didn't really want to do right now. "Fine, gimme teh dahmn vapor..." Casske grumbles angrily. Suddenly, he feels and odd sensation. "Awwh... crap!" He sneeze violently, a torrent of very disgusting looking... substances coming from his nose. He sniffs the air a bit, turning to see
... see the smoke and hear the shouts. He blinks. "Well, damn... looks like I'm on duty by neccesity..."
It is so.. -annoying-, really, to wear these robes. For there is something disconcerting about using the former outfit of your profession as a means to disguise yourself to attack it. And yet.. Oddly, the most disconcerting thing about it is simply that its a terrible little reminder that he -was- an Etone, once. Hmph. Well... He's at least turned himself around towards the -proper- way of things now. And, er, don't mind him. For Marcus is walking away from the Ethos as quickly as he can while still looking like he is walking. He does not notice the minister--Why ought he be concerned with someone walking over towards him? That's something more unsettling than not--As, well.. The priority is with edging away from that building. Because wouldn't it be nice to get a nice, first hand view of its fall from afar? And hopefully from where he can watch it in peace, without being suspect at all. For the flames are but starting, but lapping a wall and climbing.. And the first cries of this realizat
... realization are just now reaching the streets. Well. Its bound to be worse, if it happens to find any Gears in repair to feed upon. Wouldn't it be inconvenient if those flames were to find, say, any of the oils or fuel for the Gears? But for the moment, Marcus's priorities are clear.
Marcus (OOC) looks really innocent. (X_X)
Casske (OOC) exclaims, "Arson!"
Marcus (OOC) exclaims, "Correction! Its -Holy- Arson! There's a world of difference!"
Casske (OOC) shrugs. "I'm a member of the church of Casske. My holy rules dictate that I get to kick some ass." ^_-
Marcus (OOC) says, "Yeah, well, the Rogue Ethos Doctrine claims I can set things on fire. And shoot things that try to kick my ass. Like you. >_>"
Casske (OOC) says, "You can shoot my legs, if you like. They have metal in them."
Marcus (OOC) asks, "What, did someone kick you in the shins and break them?"
Brin catches his breath, as the shouts come from down the street. Fire? He glances toward the church, as long as it takes to verify the claim, and his eyes widen. It was no time for pleasantries. "Brother! come here, we need your help!", he shouts to the retreating set of robes, before turning to ...just stare at te church. It is now ablaze, flames licking the buildings next to it. God only knows what kind of materials are inside, as he pushes through the crowd, glancing occasionally over toward the retreating figure. "Brother!". How very strange. Still, he continues toward the church. People had better not be trapped in there...
Ashton (OOC) says, "This pose may take a bit."
Marcus (OOC) says, "Um, kay. ^^"
Brin (OOC) nods.
Brin (OOC) pokes\
Ashton watches as the guiet streets turn into a huge pandomoinium of people running about with buckets of water. He runs closer to the building, and suddenly stops. He runs back to the people carrying the buckets and grabs one himself. On his way back, he carefully dodges through the crowd and shouts "Clear the way!" Occasionally, he bumps into some people. "Damn, it would probably help if there was some ORDER going on here." said Ashton. He arrived at the church, and began to dump his bucket on the flames. He looks up at the church. He blanks out and stares at the building. Visions of houses on fire course through his mind. He hears screaming. He drops back into reality and heads back to the volunteers filling buckets with water... only this time not as fast.
Ashton (OOC) aplogoizes, for he is doing 3 things at once right now.\
Casske spots a flurry of ethos robes in the crowd. He runs over, ignoring the throbbing headache that still plagued him, nearly smashing into Marcus. "Ack, sorry!" He pushes past Marcus, reaching Brin. "I'm with Gebler. What's going on!?" Casske glances quickly up to the smoke pillar. "Are you with that church? Is there any highly flammable stuff in there!?" Casske stops for a moment, turning back and glancing quizzically. "Hey, wasn't that guy wearing...? Geh." He frowns softly, praying that the situation was not yet entirely out of control... what did his job dictate? Try to find the source of the fire and extinguish it, or try to save civilians?
Brin (OOC) nodsnods. S'ok.
Casske (OOC) says, "Understood."
Brin (OOC) asks, "Marcus now?"
Marcus (OOC) nods.
...'Brother'? Well. My. So someone -did- notice the Etone-clad Marcus. And watch those wide, brown eyes dart to the shouting Minister just for an instant--Curious, and yet so terribly unmoved by anything he's saying. What? Help? Ah.. Well, um... No. And yet, in the middle of that careless glance, Marcus is pushed out of the way by Casske. Which, well, the Etone was hardly expecting. He stumbles, barely keeping his balance as he backs up a number of steps, the entire drama of his quick intent of escape thrown aside by just how -graceless- this kid is. Well. So he's a clumsy teenage boy. Setting things on fire. That's almost, well... -Funny-. And as Casske throws out his list of questions, Marcus just casts a grin, trying to retain -some- sort of dignity after that stumble. And he just offers in response, "Flammable? Just Gear fuel." Ah, Marcus..? Maybe you should be more concerned with getting out of here rather than roundabout, vague boasting. And watch him turn at that, and continu
...continue towards the crowds--With hope, he can lose himself in them before anyone is the wiser. At least, that's the -plan-.
Ashton (OOC) says, "Okay, 1 down, 2 to go..."
Brin rushes toward Casske and Marcus, hoping Ashton can give soem sort of order to the bucket brigade forming bedraggledly in front of the burning building. "Brother, do you know the layout of the building? How much fuel is in there?". He looks up to Casske. "Thank you. There are gears, most probably. Probably gear fuel, as the brother has said. Marcus has Brin's almost-full attention now, as Brin vaguely raises a hand to steady him. "Brother, are you based here? Do you have any idea? How many people are in there?". At Casske, again, he adds: "We need to get those people out. Do you wish to help us?". Yes, it is the singular 'you'. It never occurred to Brin that the fellow Etone might...not..want to help? He looks back at the building, the relief effort already building up, as people are woken in adjoining buildings, fighting for their homes, now.
This was the loudest Ashton had spoke in a long time. He successfully ordered a path for the bucket carriers. He looked at the group of Brin, Casske, and Marcus, then back at the building. "I sure hope there are people trying to rescue the people in there." He thought. He looked back at Brin, Casske, and Marcus. This time specifically Marcus. He watched the grin on his face with suspicion. What exactly was so amusing about the situation? He found it even more strange that the smile was on an Etones' face. Something didn't seem right here...
Ashton (OOC) asks, "How's the CV page coming along Dominia?"
Ashton (OOC) smashes himself on a rock.
Marcus (OOC) was distracted by RP. X_x And the roommate.. Squealing.. on the phone.. (>_<) *Turns up music*
Casske nods quickly. "Yes, I will help." He paces towards the flaming building, stopping a few fett from where he had started. "I can use a lot of water ether all at once, but I have to warn you, I'm going to pass out afterwards. Is there any water source nearby? If so, I don't have much of a choice, and I'd count on you to see to it that I don't burn alive while unconscious..." Yes, water ether. The only type of ether Casske can use. And sadly, he doesn't use it well. In every other battle situation he used it, he became too weak to even stand up, and hence lost... but, this is not a battle, nor is it a time to be dwelling and stalling. "...well? I'll start getting ready with the ether..." This'll be fun... and death defying.
Casske (OOC) says, "I'm gonna take a shower. I'll try to be back before my pose."
Marcus (OOC) nods!
Casske (OOC) exclaims, "Byyyyye!"
Marcus (OOC) stabs Casske while he casts ether.
Ashton (OOC) shoots Marcus in the back.
Marcus (OOC) bleeds, "....Ow. ;_;"
Brin (OOC) gets the bucket brigade to line up in front of casske.
Ashton (OOC) asks, "Do you think I could start my Simon appli soon?"
Oh, come -on- now.. Does Marcus just have the world's most extraordinarily bad luck, or what? Because he can hardly just grin and storm off if they're trying to hold conversations with him without looking like the prime suspect that he is. On the other hand, he has absolutely -no- intention of helping them in any way, manner or form. And that's exactly why Marcus looks like someone knocked the wind out of his sails, and dropped his chances of a dramatic exit to nothing. Now he just looks mopily disgruntled. "Me? A member of that place?" Mocking contempt in that way that only teenagers can manage, "Not at all." And that's.. Pretty impolite for an Etone, isn't it? Not that Marcus was an impolite person by nature.. But the need to specify 'us' from 'them' is strong, even in a situation like this. Although.. come to think of it, the need to not get dragged out as a suspect is rather strong, too. No telling the fools the errors of their ways, after all, until you're quite entirely out of grabbing
...range. Which knocks him back into pseudo-formality. "So I don't know anything that could help, I fear.." All the while edging back a few steps. Yes, he's looking.. Busy. He can go elsewhere and get help. Er, right?
Marcus (OOC) says, "Well, certainly. ^^ Just throw together a personality, basic history, abilities... And I suppose yoru take on what he's like brought back, too. (X_X) Although I haven't confirmed that idea with the other potential applicants. It just seemst o be the only idea that works."
Brin (OOC) asks, "whose pose?"
Marcus (OOC) says, "Yours. ^_^;"
Brin (OOC) exclaims, "Awe, poop!"
Ashton (OOC) says, "Yours I believe."
Marcus (OOC) laughs!
Ashton (OOC) asks, "Ummm... Is the site running yet Dominia?"
Brin listens to Casske for a minute, taking in the offer. "Well, if you think it will help. I will ask some of these volounteers to be on hand with water if you attempt it.". He turns to Marcus, yet again. "Brother, could you help me organise this bucket brigade for now, while this gentleman prepares?". He turns, and begins to make off toward the fire, looking over his shoulder after a while......"Brother?" ...
Marcus (OOC) wonders if he can get away with not writing an app for Elizabeth, since he's, you know, apparently the person who will lord over it. >_> Although writing an app might be fun anyway, come to think of it.
Brin (OOC) shortposes! Muhaha!
Marcus (OOC) asks, "I'm afraid not. I'm writing up the info, but haven't made it even really complete/navigateable yet. If you give me a moment, I can start uploding what little there is?"
Ashton (OOC) says, "Nah, I just need to find a reason for Simon to be resurrected."
Marcus (OOC) exclaims, "...Because!"
Marcus (OOC) coughs, "Yeah, I've not even gotten to that. ^_^;;"
Ashton (OOC) Doesn't really have any ideas for a pose right now, he's just going to wait until Brin comes up to him and tells him to set up the bucket brigade for Casskes spell.
Brin (OOC) is waiting to see if Marcus will follow him ^^.
Ashton (OOC) exclaims, "Well, then, pose it is!"
Ashton (OOC) curses himself REPOSE!
Marcus (OOC) exclaims, "But I.. Don't want to. >_> I want to find a place to stand on so I can point and giggl--I mean, laugh, and say that you deserve it!"
Brin (OOC) waits for casske, then.
Casske (OOC) exclaims, "Back!"
Marcus (OOC) rewaves!
Ashton listened intently to the idea that was explained to him by another supervisor. "You sure we can trust him? He asked. The man asked him, "Why shouldn't we trust him? Not like theres anything he can do right now." Ah, good point, thought Ashton. He organized the bucket brigade so that it would make it easier for Casske to cast his Ether. He also eyed the Etone stepping back from Brin.... "What a jerk." he thinks, "He's trying to dodge his responsibility? How exactly did that guy become a member of the Ethos anyways?" He peers at Marcus, and watches his face full of humor...
Casske (OOC) says, "Is Ashton... ah, aight."
Ashton (OOC) hehs.
Ashton (OOC) says, "I'm too used to hitting return for a new line on the Castlevania thing."
Marcus (OOC) patpats. ^_^
Ashton (OOC) would normally doing MUCH better, but has been doing a lot of work as of late...
Casske nods a bit, as his eyes begin to glaze over. His limbs seem to go limp for a moment, before tightening and sticking out stiffly. "Alright... get ready back there... I don't have enough ether to do more than one shot, so try to make it count..." His vision blurred as his body's energy began to focus in his chest. His head began throbbing wors than it had before, threatening to make him fall over onto the stone ground. "You.. guys... ready?" He calls, out his voice seeming to him as if it's a mile away.
Marcus (OOC) really... REALLY wants to do something terrible to Casske right now.
Casske (OOC) says, "What? Wh... why? ;_;"
Marcus (OOC) says, "You are casting a spell to end the fire. I'm not sure I like that. >_> On the other hand, I'm kind of sure I like not getting mauled by Etones, too."
Ashton (OOC) brands a club and glints at Marcus.
Casske (OOC) says, "Don't worry. It won't be without reprecussion. I'll probably pass out afterwards. Casske can use a lot of ether, but only once, and -all- at once, making it utterly pointless... "Take this!" *blasts foe, falls over unconscious*"
Ashton (OOC) can only heal, and not very well at that.
Marcus (OOC) is going to get himself in trouble.. And yet... Must harm Casske.. (X_X)
Marcus (OOC) says, "Well, okay, maybe not. But Marcus is still getting himself into trouble. *Poses*"
Casske (OOC) says, "Just don't touch the hair."
Dodging responcibility? Ha.. Amusing, really, in that Marcus is really only trying to dodge the responcibility for being the one starting the fire. And yet, it is a terrible battle which claws within Marcus's mind, between the good and solid common sense of looking innocent and backing away and the sheer -drama- that this situation inspires. For.. Look at the good he is doing. See? This is the first blow dealt to the corrupt and misled Ethos, and he.. He began it. And now there is some rediculous, frail looking Gebler insisting that he's going to put it all out and collapse afterwards. After all the trouble that Marcus went to get here and to start that fire... No. That is too much, -too- much for him to simply smile and walk away from. And so he continues backing up a number of steps, more rapidly now--For the streets are not all that crowded at all, for all the people fleeing. So its just him and the water brigade and these three. Marcus can manage it, right? From.. Several, several safe feet away from all of them. For its at that moment that he sighs, drawing out oneo of his guns with all the gestures of one quite trained, in every aspect, of how to do it. And he points that to the sky and let off one shot--An unwelcome snap of noise, a warning if anything else. And he levels it then towards Casske, his grasp ever even and unshaking, even while unease at doing this alone rings too brightly in his eyes. Keep the fear out of your features better than -that- Marcus! And from your semi-shaking voice as well. "I'm afraid that wouldn't quite be in anyone's best interests."
Marcus (OOC) tries to sound intimidiating! Fails.
Ashton (OOC) asks, "Hey, Marcus, mind if I hold a gun up to you?"
Marcus (OOC) exclaims, "Sure! Let's all point guns at each other!"
Marcus (OOC) says, "'Don't move or I'll shoot you!' 'But if you move to shoot me, I'll shoot him!'"
Brin (OOC) is reminded fo reservior dogs. Poses.
Brin (OOC) learns to type, then poses.
Ashton (OOC) arghs, and wishes he knew how old Simon was when he slayed Dracula 5 times in one year.
Ashton (OOC) says, "Oh well, I'll just make it up."
Marcus (OOC) wishes she saved the address of that page that had the birtdates of all the Belmonts. ;_:
Ashton (OOC) tells Marcus to not worry, and that it doesn't really matter since he will be resurrected and be over 210 years of age.
Marcus (OOC) laughs!
Shock. Well, Brin had thought this boy looked a little unsettled, or strange, but this is a bit much. His gaze focuses on Marcus, as he unclips his holster. The street goes quet, save for the flames crackling in the dry wall of the church. "Brother...If I am wont to actually call you that..."...and, for all Brin knows, this could be an imposter. A spy, anything. "I would seriously consider my position if I were you. You are outnumbered, by a lot. The city guard has probably seen the smoke, and is on its way, not to mention myself and brother Ashton already here.". He indicates behind him toward the building, where Ashton stands. "I don't know who you are, but you are not helping. And, if you do not put down your weapon immediately, I will kill you. Do you understand?". His hand is on his gun, and he stares at Marcus, unblinking.
Brin (OOC) means that, incidentally.
Marcus (OOC) says, "If you want to see the webpage (really shitty looking, very simplistic, almost nothing up, and written in a tone that makes me sound more on drugs than like Elizabeth Bartley) its at http://www.kitsune.cx/~kieli/crpc/ Although nothing's up but the guidelines and the OOC guidelines.. None of the IC ones."
Marcus (OOC) says, "It also sounds high and stupid, because I can't bring myself to write much at once. I am a sad human being. (>_<)"
Marcus (OOC) says, "Also, the index page hasn't been updated since the first time I stared. Funfun. >_>"
Casske (OOC) asks, "Can I RP Larvis?"
Marcus (OOC) says, "...."
Marcus (OOC) says, "No."
Ashton (OOC) decides on Simons' personality at the present of the MU*, then poses.
Casske (OOC) says, "Aww. ;_; These XenoMUCK souls have no concept of the granduer of Larvis."
Marcus (OOC) says, "He's a tonedeaf drunkard. (X_X)"
Marcus (OOC) asks, "-What- grandeur?"
Ashton glares at Marcus, not taking his eyes off him as he takes his gun from the holster. He talks to Marcus with a very angry yet assertive voice. "Excuse me, I believe we havn't met. If you do not put the gun down you will wish you havn't met me. Now brother... if you are one, before I ask you what your intentions were, I will ask you something else." He clicks his gun showing that he is not kidding when he says that he wishes he hadn't met him. "I don't know what the hell you were thinking this would be to your gain, but are you aware that you put many innocent peoples life in danger? Are you aware that the whole town will now be VERY violent towards you if they see you?" He raises his voice. "Are you aware that none of this was to any gain, except burning buildings and the spilling of blood of the innocents?!?! He lowers his voice lowers to a whisper quivering in rage. "I will not kill you, partly from my position as a brother, and partly from the wanting to watch you suffer, but if you fire that gun I will make sure your head hangs by the steps of Fatima Castle.
Brin (OOC) exclaims, "No! Don't m! Anything but m'ing!"
Marcus (OOC) laughs!
Marcus (OOC) hides behind Brin, "He's going to m me!"
Ashton (OOC) sighs, and sticks a grenade with the pin out inside of his mouth.
Brin (OOC) gives Marcus a good solid m'ing. "Don't expect any smpathy from me, dead guy!".
Marcus (OOC) says, "Hey, thats just inhumane! ;_:"
Marcus (OOC) giggles, "I'm afraid you hit the pose limit, Ashton. 'Sokay! Just tag on the rest of what you wanted to pose after it. That's why my poses are occationally in multiple pieces, too. ^_^"
Ashton (OOC) says, "...Alright..."
Brin (OOC) blinks. That'll certainly provide a nice touch to the pink decorations.
Ashton (OOC) damns, it would have been so much cooler if it didn't go past the limit.
Brin (OOC) patpats.
Marcus (OOC) patpats. ;_; "I always do my poses in notepad and copy/paste them over. That way, if I go over the pose limit, I can just paste it again and put in what I lost."
Ashton (OOC) ahs. "Good idea."
Brin (OOC) doesn't have notepad any more X_x. Tends to try to stay under the pose limit these days ^^.
Ashton (OOC) laughs!
Ashton (OOC) Ah well, we all have good days and bad days.
Marcus (OOC) never learned to be brief. Especially lately, I've been talking too much. (X_X)
Casske (OOC) says, "brb"
Brin (OOC) silences Marcus.
Marcus (OOC) really does not like the sound of that.
Brin (OOC) does not, either.
Ashton (OOC) has just realized he spelt Solyieu wrong. "oops"
Marcus (OOC) says, "That is because it is a funky, funky name."
Ashton (OOC) better get it right if he wants to RP Simon. "I Definitely would be mad if my son spelt my name wrong all the time."
Marcus (OOC) laughs!
Brin (OOC) lays down, boogies, and waits for Casske.
Franco has arrived.
Marcus (OOC) hides behind Franco.
Brin (OOC) blinks.
Franco (OOC) pulls out a pistol. "No hurtin' my whiney etone."
Marcus (OOC) WHINES, "They're gonna kill me! All I did was set things on fire! ;_;"
Brin (OOC) exclaims, "BLAM!"
Marcus (OOC) says, "We're waiting for Casske to unidle so he can pose.. But I'll explain what's going on in the mean time."
Franco (OOC) nodnods. >.>
Marcus (OOC) says, "Marcus set that Ethos place on fire. Hurrah. He tried to get away from it really quickly, but Ashton and Brin expected him to help them, as Marcus snuck in in the first place by wearing his old Ethos robes."
Marcus (OOC) says, "Then Casske was going to cast a nice, large water Ether spell to put out the fire. Marcus realized that its not worth coming halfway across the world to commit arson against the unbelievers if you let them put it out 5 minutes after it starts. So he fired his gun in the air and pointed it at Casske, as a happy little threat to stop."
Marcus (OOC) says, "Now Brin and Ashton are pointing guns at him and threatening him. >_> That's where we are. Casske responds next."
Franco (OOC) will pose entrance after Casske poses?
Marcus (OOC) says, "Sure. ^_^"
Ashton (OOC) nods.
Brin (OOC) nods.
Ashton (OOC) exclaims, "Hey, we can have Erine and Sylvina come on and make this whole situation even more confusing!"
Brin (OOC) has Sylvi lure Marcus back to her mansion, too.
Marcus (OOC) says, "...Ewww."
Franco (OOC) says, "You set one foot in that mansion, Marcus, and I'll shoot off...something vital."
Marcus (OOC) looks a bit pale, "Yessir. Not going anywhere, sir."
Brin (OOC) says, "You don't know how true that is, Marcus."
Marcus (OOC) looks more pale.
Casske blinks oddly as the torrent of water ether burst forth from him, twisting upwards midflight. The arch of its side smashed into one wall of the flaming church, dousing and extinguishing it, bu the rest of the church still burned violently and relentlessly. Casske cursed loudly as he slumped ton the ground, eyes slightly bloodshot. He twists around to face Marcus. "Damn," he gasps, "You look like a nervous little punk if I've ever seen one. Drop the gun before you crap your pants, ne?"
Casske (OOC) says, "I'm horribly sorry for the delay..."
Brin (OOC) grins. NP.
Casske (OOC) says, "I was detained by my parents. They've been forcing me to play card games lately. @_@"
Bah! That single, potent word is the primary thing going through Franco's head as he rushes through the streets of Dazil, cursing as he sees the another plume of smoke rise into the air. Curse Marcus, curse himself, but most of all...curse Erine! If it wasn't for that...that WOMAN! then they would've never had to've revolted. Almost skidding as he turns a corner and comes upon the rather tense scene, he reaches a hand into his robes. "BROTHERS! What is going on here?"
Casske (OOC) says, "I won three hands in a row, so they cut me loose."
Brin (OOC) exclaims, "Yay! Franco's in Dazil, therefore Marcus is helpless!"
Marcus (OOC) laughs!
Marcus (OOC) says, "Bledavik. ^^"
Franco (OOC) blinks. >.>
Franco (OOC) gahs. Changes. Is used to being in Dazil with his alts.
Brin (OOC) grins.
Well. It is hard to keep your aim up, hard to not look unnerved when someone points out the entirety of -truth- to you like that. The City guard. Huh. Maybe Marcus should have gone as far as to think a little bit ahead. But as this is a little late to be pondering that, Marcus simply steels his gaze, batting away the honest fear that rises at those threats. No, comfort yourself aloud, Marcus, with the simple, sheerest -truth-, "Brother? Not to those like -you-. -I- am one of the few who actually remember what we're standing for." Petty threats and petty insults, but thrown in a voice that is trying, for all its worth, to sound stronger than he is. And he pulls this attempt of surprisingly well, all things considered. "It can't be helped. Innocent lives? This is the least populated time of day. I made -sure- of that. It is simply unfortunate that a few innocent lives have to be affected for a point to be made." Big words for a terrified boy, all things considered. "Of -course- it was for a reason. Of course it's for a gain! If it proves just how weak, misled and -foolish- you so-called followers of Ethos have become, then every haven of its practice shall burn until you -see-!" Ah, its all nice and dramatic, and terrifying moreso that he actually believes it. But he backs up, small and shuffled steps, trying to simply find a way out. Drop his weapon? He wouldn't dare. Threatening Casske's life is the only safeguard Marcus has against getting shot right out. And.. Err.. Franco? Marcus is at least clever enough to not have relief flood his eyes at that realization. No. Let Franco act out what he is. Because Marcus was stupid enough to get himself into this sort of a situation. Damn it all.
Marcus (OOC) can't shut up today.. (X_x)
Brin (OOC) is going to shoot Marcus.
Marcus (OOC) sobs.
Ashton (OOC) wonders if it made any difference whether he was on Erines or the rogues side, since all he does is kill reapers anyways.
Marcus (OOC) says, "Erine is a super sap. ^_^;;; Depends on if you're in the Ethos for the religion or not."
Ashton (OOC) sticks with Erine for now. "I basically joined because I am looking to do good deeds from all of what my character views as evil crap that he's done."
Casske (OOC) impales Marcus! "Haha! The person you were aiming the gun at was by inverse evil twin!"
Marcus (OOC) says, "...."
Marcus (OOC) asks, "Then why is your 'good' side impaling me?"
Franco (OOC) says, "He's confused. >.>"
Ashton (OOC) is kind of going in a Soul Reaverish approach to the reason Simon was rezzed.
Casske (OOC) says, "Because, um, teenagers are pure evil."
Marcus (OOC) has no clue what that is.
Casske (OOC) asks, "Soul Reaver... Kain throws Raziel into a big lake of acid?"
Ashton (OOC) says, "Being forced to come back to life and basically just living to hunt down his mortal enemy...er... or is he his immortal enemy? Anyways. He came back to life solely to hunt down Dracula, and doesn't care about anything else because he has already had a filling life."
Marcus (OOC) says, "Well, spiff. ^^"
Franco (OOC) asks, "Whose pose?"
Brin sighs. He hoped that it would not have to come to this. He had seen people in the HQ who had turned away from the faith, who had disagreed with some doctrine, who were allowed leave, as it was their will. "This church is a house of God's spirit, of the foundation of our religion. To burn it, for whatever reason, is an act of unforgivable blasphemy. On top of this, you blaspeme but more. You...do this to make a point? The only point ot be made here is your own petty ignorance of what is or is not acceptable in your own eyes.". Brin's eyes burn with what can only be described as fury, even that which is so alien to this young man. "I am a follower of -Ethos-, not myself. Disagreements, I keep to myself, and pray for guidance. You do this for nothing more then personal gratification? You...", he pauses, as his voice catches. "Look at what you have done! You are poison! You are sin! You are a disease and a plague, as bad as the reapers themselves!". There is a moment, where Brin is a flurry of rage. A shot rings out, and he stands, gun still pointing directly at Marcus. So...let it be done.
Marcus (OOC) screams like a little girl and hides.
Franco (OOC) grrs. >.< Has to disconnect for a bit. Will be back ASAP.
Marcus (OOC) exclaims, "...Well, okay, maybe not, but still. ;_; Gaaah!"
Franco has disconnected.
Casske (OOC) flings himself in front of Marcus. "Nooooooooo!"
Ashton (OOC) just stands around whistling.
Ashton (OOC) is confused. "Did you actually shoot at Marcus, Brin?"
Brin (OOC) nods.
Marcus (OOC) cries.
Brin (OOC) patpats. Gets his hand all bloodied. Eww.
Marcus (OOC) bleeds. "You're shooting a kid! You bastard!"
Brin (OOC) says, "That 'kid' burned my church."
Marcus (OOC) exclaims, "....Stop confusing me with the truth!"
Brin (OOC) laughs!
Casske (OOC) asks, "Time for a lesson! Myria of BoF is EVIL! Hence, she is killed! Now, apply this situation to this moment. Marcus is what? Evil? Right! So what will happen?"
Marcus (OOC) slaps Casske. "Myri is not evil! And I'm not going to die. ;_;"
Marcus (OOC) says, "Take a bullet and bleed everywhere, yes. But not die."
Brin (OOC) bitchslaps his connection.
A look of pure astonishment grows on Ashtons face. "Wha...why?" He sputters. He didn't even know if the shot has connected. His expression then turns blank. Memories of a family in a sniper scope, memories of fire, memories of screams and blood, his own memories... He looks at Marcus, still pointing his gun at him. His stern face is lost. There is no expression, not even surprise. He watches him fall to the ground, and he screams a loud, bloodcurdling scream, as if it could've come from Marcus.
Ashton (OOC) says, "Now this is getting interesting."
Marcus (OOC) isn't falling. ^^ At least, hasn't yet. *Putzes with his pose while wondering why the roommate has to whisper what she's studying aloud to herself*
Casske has disconnected.
Ashton (OOC) uh-ohs...
Marcus (OOC) says, "Looks like he got booted. (X_X) Give him a moment."
Brin (OOC) bitchslaps his connection.

Ashton (OOC) watches as the whole situation just disappears somehow.
Marcus (OOC) says, "...(X_X)"
Ashton (OOC) Is the only regular Etone here and uh-ohs.
Marcus (OOC) waits for them all to sign back on. (X_X)
Marcus (OOC) says, "Gaahh... Casske's signing off because its lightning storming where he is."
Ashton (OOC) says, "Hmm..."
Brin (OOC) swears extremely loudly.
Ashton (OOC) thinks this is taking a turn for the worst...
Marcus (OOC) says, "We might have to pause this. ;_:"
Franco has connected.
Franco (OOC) apologizes. >.<
Marcus (OOC) waves.
Marcus (OOC) says, "Shall we try to continue without Casske? ;_;"
Brin (OOC) would like to continue. Too many broken scenes lately.
Marcus (OOC) nods.
Marcus (OOC) asks, "Could you two repose for Franco, then?"
Ashton (OOC) nods.
Brin (OOC) reposes now, then. Did Franco see Marcus' pose?
Marcus (OOC) asks, "My omnipose? I think so...?"
Brin (OOC) gahs! Had to reconnect, so don't have my pose in history. Does someone else hav ity?
Marcus (OOC) does. ^_^
Brin (OOC) says, "Have it, even."
Marcus (OOC) says, "There we go. ^^ Your pose, Franco."
Franco 's eyes widen in shock as the Brin fires his gun...and then narrow in rage. Silently, he pulls a rather large revolver from some inside pocket of his robe, and levels it at Brin. For the slightest moment, he hesitates...he always knew that it would come down to this one day, but to fire at another Etone...even if they did serve the corrupt Erine...for a moment, Franco's gun falters...but then his eyes harden, and he pulls the trigger, gun roaring as a large caliber round is fired at Brin.
Ashton (OOC) says, "OK, I think I will be the guy trying to stop this."
Ashton (OOC) ICly thought that this was getting out of hand when Brin shot Marcus.
Marcus (OOC) goes cheap and gets shot in the arm! Unless anyone would rather Marcus get hit somewhere else (But he has to be able to get away and has to, er, not die.)
Marcus (OOC) doesn't want to die. Really.
Brin (OOC) is dittoing that.
Ashton (OOC) is more neutral than he thought.
Ashton (OOC) says, "Arm is fine with me. As long as you don't fire at me or anything."
Brin (OOC) kinda wanted to capture you to move the plot along. But, arm is fine ^^.
"You are a follower of a belief that has lost its way and grown -weak-. What right have you, who has strayed so far from the Truth, to pass judgement--" Marcus's bitter responses, thrown in his instant defence are lost there at the firing of the gun. Somehow, Marcus was not expecting that--Wasn't the threat of pointing the gun at Casske enough? And yet, apparently it was not. And apparently it was reasonable as well. For Marcus is hit in the arm which is, while far from lethal, still incredibly.. Well, shocking. He's never.. He's never been actually -shot- before. And those young, brown eyes go wide in horror at that, at the shock of pain that follows. For that gun just -drops- from his hand then, in that moment of utter shock. And he is shaking. Wide eyed and surprised, he is shaking. And that simply blurs over his world, his focus. Another shot? Marcus half expects it to be from the other Etone, and half expects that to be his end. And yet when no further pain comes.. He finally snaps out of that preliminary stun, his other hand clamping sharply against the now bleeding wound. And yet.. What a bad idea. For that -hurts- to do. And Marcus is more immature than he would admit, for all that pain tightens at his eyes, resisting the instinct to tear against the pain. And he drops then to his knees, snatching up that dropped pistol, if just to force himslf to his feet and try to back away, away, and -out-. For it is only then that he realize that it was Franco that fired. And perhaps this can mean his only way out of this damned situation.
Marcus (OOC) uploads the 'What you may and may not RP' file onto the CV RP page. Slowly but surely, its getting done. Looks bad, but its getting there. (X_x)
Franco (OOC) hmms?
Marcus (OOC) is making a Castlevania RPing Group. Fear.
Ashton (OOC) wonders what is in store for him, considering he is not on either side.
Franco (OOC) hmms!
Ashton (OOC) is apping Simon and now telling his history, but is only on CV2 right now.
Franco (OOC) will make an OC. >.>
Marcus (OOC) cheers!
Ashton (OOC) also cheers!
Ashton (OOC) is piecing together ideas for an OC in his head.
Marcus (OOC) is Elizabeth Bartley. This makes his RPer very odd.
Ashton (OOC) says, "COuld be worse. *points at Carmilla*."
Brin stares down at the smoking gun, and a low sigh escapes him. He has never shot a person before. If truth were told, he has never shot -anything- living before. But, he is still taken aback, the sheer gravity of what he has just done taking a moment to sink in, as he continues his stare. It is the worst of sins, even to one so evil as that which he has just attacked. His hands drop to his side, and he stares at the ground, almost in a daze. His lips part in the lowest of murmurs..."Forgive me...". He did not even hear the gunshot, as he is thrown back several feet by the force of the round. He lands roughly on the hard-packed cobbles of the road, and does not move.
Franco (OOC) wonders about demons.
Franco (OOC) asks, "Whose pose?"
Marcus (OOC) says, "Ashton's. 6_^"
Ashton (OOC) is going to snap in his next pose.
Franco (OOC) offers glue?
Marcus (OOC) laughs!
Ashton (OOC) acks! Must eat dinner.
Marcus (OOC) eeeps!
Franco (OOC) asks, "...Snap the fork?"
Ashton has connected.
Ashton (OOC) launches a nuke at AT&T
Ashton (OOC) doesn't know where AT&T is but just punches in random coordinates and imagines it is AT&T, then poses.
Ashton did not expect any of this, nor did he want it. He watched as Brin fell to the ground. He watched Franco put away his gun, he watched as Marcus limped away. Though he was watching all of this, he did not pay much attention. He held his gun up, away from Marcus, into the sky, and fired his gun. 1,2,3,4,5, he counted the bullets he fired. Afterwords, he aimed his gun at the side of his head... The gear fuel had exploded in the Ethos building. Ashton slumped to the ground, but no bleeding or indeed even a hole was in his head.
Ashton (OOC) says, "I think it's safe to say the Rogue Ethos TP is not dead yet."
Brin (OOC) cheers!
Marcus (OOC) beams!
Ashton (OOC) pats everyine on the back. "Nice save!"
Franco (OOC) asks, "Whose pose?"
Marcus (OOC) asks, "Yours?"
Ashton (OOC) nods.
Ashton (OOC) says, "Would be Casskes', but he is not here right now."
Ashton (OOC) kicks his lag.
Franco begins running over to Marcus as Brin falls to the ground, gun held loosely. Damn it, it wasn't supposed to be like this. "BOY! We have to get outt've here. Follow me, I know a quick wa-" Franco is interrupted as Ashton opens fire, and swings his gun towards the Etone...then blinks as Ashton falls to the ground. Shaking his head, he turns back to Marcus. "NOW! Lets go!"
Ashton has disconnected.
Brin (OOC) says, "Bah. AT&T again? ^^"
Ashton (OOC) must log off and wish his older brother who lives in Wisconsin a happy birthday. "Be back soon."
Marcus (OOC) eeps, nods. (X_x)
Marcus (OOC) poses quickly!
Even in shock, even bleeding and in pain, Marcus can understand an order like that. Startling as Ashton starts firing, Marcus's already edgy gaze snaps over to Ashton, only to realize that he is apparently fireing harmlessly high. But no matter, no matter.. With gunshots ringing wild, it is inevitable that the Bledavik guard will be by soon. And so Marcus nods briefly, not waiting a moment more. It's time to leave. -Now-. For now that the flames have reached the fuel within the Ethos building, the flames are wild and high indeed--The deed is done, and now.. Now is the time to -leave-. And so Marcus runs the short distance to Franco, intent on following him on whatever 'quick way' he has in mind. By all means, sir, lead the way. We have more than done our work.
Franco (OOC) asks, "Brin's pose?"
Marcus (OOC) nods.
More than done, indeed. You have made several very powerful enemies, mysterious rogue Etones. One is the church from which you came, one lies dying on the street behind you, and by extension, the entire nation of Solaveh now seeks you. Do not rest easy, rogue etones. Your work will remain undone, and you will pay for your crimes with everything you have, and hold dear. Your escape is transitory, and the world is only so big that you may not be found. The still figure of the Aveh minister lies prone, his robes covering any obvious damage. He is dead to the world, the violent resistence taking almost everything. Even now, as the first brave souls from the crowd come to his side, and the Rogue Etones make their escape, the city guard appear at the arch to the castle, and begin their futile dash in pursuit of the criminals.
Franco (OOC) asks, "End it there?"
Brin (OOC) nods.
Marcus (OOC) exclaims, "Hurrah! What a fun log!"
Marcus (OOC) says, "And yet..I can't help but look at Brin's pose and think how screwed we are. (X_X)"
Franco (OOC) pokes Brin with a foot. "Is he dead?"
Brin (OOC) nods, and dies. ^^.
Franco (OOC) eeeeps!
Brin (OOC) is not dead, no. Nearly there, though.
Marcus (OOC) says, "Wow.. Good shot, Franco. (X_X)"
Franco (OOC) OOCly does not want Brin to die. >.> ICly, feels pretty uneasy about it too. "Though he did shoot at Marcus."
Brin (OOC) has not decided.
Marcus (OOC) says, "He wont die. ^_^; Eee! Please don't die! (X_X)"
Franco (OOC) nodnods with Marcus. >.> Wouldn't be Xenomuck without Brin around.
Brin (OOC) blushes, and Grins. Goes to rll a dice.
Franco (OOC) pokes! Do not let Dice decide Brin's life. 0-0
Marcus (OOC) exclaims, "You have to live!"
Marcus (OOC) exclaims, "You're hosting Khiea's party, remember!"
Brin (OOC) fears he may not be able to attend.
Brin (OOC) says, "IC, at least."
Marcus (OOC) exclaims, "Well, if Khi gets peeved.. Err.... Franco did it!"
Marcus (OOC) hides.
Franco (OOC) runs back to Brin! Don't die!
Ashton has disconnected.
Brin (OOC) says, "Oh, very well."
Marcus (OOC) CHEERS!
Franco (OOC) whews. >.>
Brin (OOC) grins.
Brin (OOC) spams the IC board.
Marcus (OOC) reads!
Ashton has connected.
Brin (OOC) says, "Not yet! But soon."
Marcus (OOC) waits!
Ashton (OOC) waves. "Sorry 'bout that."
Marcus (OOC) puts up the CV RP's MC list while she's at it, "Ugh.. I'm going to have to put dates in for when these characters were alive."
Brin (OOC) makes one of the Rogues post about it, too.
Marcus (OOC) will! Once he reads your post.
Ashton (OOC) was going to include that on his list, but didn't know for sure if he was right, due to the generally bad translation...
Ashton (OOC) asks, "Can you fill me in on as to what happened?"
Ashton (OOC) wonders why it gets silent as he appears...
Marcus (OOC) is putting in dates for characters. (X_X)
Brin (OOC) posts!
Marcus (OOC) has to go to dinner. Back soon!
Marcus (OOC) says, "Nice post, by the by! *Laughs at Sylvi*"
Marcus has disconnected.
Marcus has connected.
Franco has disconnected.
Marcus walks off to the north.
Marcus has left.
Brin (OOC) lies there in a bloody pile.
Ashton (OOC) lies there in a not-bloody pile. Joy.
