A woman with long red hair and red eyes walks down the street. She's carrying a bag over her shoulder and walking fast. Nobody would suspect her to be anything but ordinary, but those people didn't know much. Her name was Ryuu Miaskino. Her name meant "dragon" in Chinese and there's a good reason why. She had true redhead anger and flare. She was a powerful sorceress, especially with flames. And one person knew it.


He was leaning against the tree, staring at her long legs and tight ass when he realized that she was Ryuu, his prey. Without a minute to lose, he stepped into the sunlight, remembering the words of his boss, Get the girl, I need her.. , and slowly walked after her.


<OOC ok.. this is my new RP. Anyone can join. Just hop in and have fun. /OOC>

The dude shot her on accident and got sent to jail

Shawn looks on to the man following the girl and says "I wounder if she knows hes following her." He runs up to the man following her and say "Do you have the time?" Trying to stale, so she could get away.

that posting doesn't count, you don't seem to get the point of an RP...




[enters the rp]
Eyeing the exotically red woman fom the top of a nearby building, a compact caucasion man in a black robe spots the other man and takes a mental picture of him, then leaps to the next building and rushes down the fire escape. Nobody notices.

A man, fully robed in red walks towards them, minding his own buisness. If someone where to notice....he had an illusion upon himself. A strong one....To those who paid attention, there was a white insigna upon the cloak...a very odd and unique one which a few did know. The man had white hair, and green eyes, and did nto smiled much. He mainly looked at the floor, in thought. His cowl covered his head most of the time, and his hands remained within the folds of the robe. You could not see his feet.

(OOC Some characters might know about the spell, very few would know who it is, unless of course you have met him before or heard of him.)

A dark shape crouches on top of a nearby building, a rifle close at hand. In his clawed hands he holds a pair of military-grade binoculars, searching for prey.

Vextri (first character on building) comes rushing down the stairs and falls into a steady walk a little behind the first man and a little in front of the red-robed man. His cloak makes him invisible and he sense the precense of a strong magic behind him and in front of him. His hand drifts to his sheathed blade.


<ooc>someone from SoA? Seems possible with the 'irenicus' in your name...</ooc>

The shadow puts the binoculars down and reaches for his rifle. The rifle was a standard R93 collapseable sniper rifle, chambered for a .308 round. He tracks the man behind the other man in the red robe.

(OOC No, simply the meaning behind the word. "Broken One, Exiled One" in elvish.)

{everyone quick get a name and be sure to capitalize them otherwise this'll be chaos eal quick}

(please people.....no more. People just randomly turn up with different agenders. One disadvantge of this kind of rp. Keep it as this and keep in character with thier own motives etc. My character simply is in the area, walking by. He might not get involved.)

Ryuu keeping her head to the ground, is aware of the one man following her, but is oblivious to the others.

The man, Marcus, glances at the woman, then says gruffly to the man asking for the time, "2 O'clock," without looking at his watch. He watches the woman disappear into a building, then he rids himself of the other man's company and lurks after her.

The sniper was covered in a shroud of the darkness atop one of the buildings overlooking the woman.He was to keep her safe at all cost.Traileric Intelligence had been tabbing her for months now.And they ha dintercepted a plan to capture,and perhaps kill her.The snipers scope of the MAM-O1 Sniper Rifle followed the man who was tailing the sorceress.Just daring the follower to make his move.

OOC: My character is simply hunting the creatures of the night. KI knows what I'm talking about.

The shadow puts the binoculars down and reaches for his rifle. The rifle was a standard R93 collapseable sniper rifle, chambered for a .308 round. He tracks the man behind the other man in the red robe.

OOC:Gak.Didnt see that post.

._.;; Sorry. :oops:

Vextri passes through a wall into the building and stands in a doorway to one side of the main hall, waiting for someone.

"I wonder what his agenda is...." The shadow mutters to itself.

{Don't post without a name!}

Another robed man steps out of a building 200 miles away, into a shining patch of grass. His mission is very important, to require this much of his personal energy, and he steps through the light.

200 miles, (back where everyone else is) he appears in an alley, with a flash of light, and collapses. He's almost dead, and lies there, with his dark cloak covering him. Two thin gold stripes run down the cloak, and they glow in the dark with a soft glow. The form of several objects show through the folds of his black cloak, and he stirs quietly.

ooc:He's not here for the red women that most everyone else seems to be here for.

The sniper.(Name disclosed.)Is startled by the bright flash and quickly brings the scope over to the corpse.

OOC: Look to the left of the posts... There's a name! I don't do that play style RPing, it annoys me. BTW My character is hunting, he has no intrest in the red woman.

Oh... a name....

Bob.

No just kidding...

Atramax [ah-tram-acks]

Ryuu: *sits down in a chair in what appears to be a board room. She sits at the head of the table. She appears to be waiting for other people to fill the four seats on either side of the table*


Marcus: *glances around for any trace of somebody, then leans against the building Ryuu had just went into. He speaks into his watch* "Boss.. She's at square 54. Meet me in the park on a rainy day."

Or... not...

Atramx(why not?) senses the sniper watching him... Or at least gets a eeling that some one is watching him.

His cloak glows slightly brighter, and the pile of rags and cloth he's sitting on collapses a bit.
He roles over twice, and lands on the ground. Atramax groans and crawls towards the wall in the alley.

The alley is about 30 feet long and doesn't go all the way through. THere's a door on the one end, and graffiti on the wall which makes no sense as language. A cellar opens up near one wall, but is locked.

The sniper quickly realigned his scope with Marcus.Sighted up with the mans temple.And fired.A silenced report,nearly inaudible,would be heard by anyopne with insanely mutated ear drums.

(and probably sees only a black blanket)

Vextri draws a bright electric blue glowing energy sword and holds it over his head in the side hallway of the building. He stares straight down wideeyed for a second, then his eyes snap straight, then his head straightens, and the inside of the building seems larger, more spacious. Ryuu passes him but does not see him. He makes no move.

sry there.. forget most of that.

The shadow, seeing the muzzle flare of a rifle on the roof of a nearby building, aims his rifle in that direction.

Into the board room, a woman with almost black hair, in a buisness suit walks in and sits at the other end of the table. She has two female body guards, both dressed in high collar shirts and pants. The bulges of guns under their jackets is obvious.

It is Rachel Vack, the potential new client.

Marcus drops to the ground, landing in a heap. A faint buzzing sound is heard by anyone standing near him as his watch buzzes to life, "Marcus. Are you there? Do you copy?... Shit.. We lost him.. We better send reinforcements, she'll be harder to catch than we thought." The watch beeps a few times.

Vextri hears the barely audible sniper fire and rushes in the hall. He suddenly senses Atramxes presence and stops, but a moment later disregards it and runs toward the door out of the building.

Seeing his aim was true,the sniper crouch-ran to the door that led downstairs,his spotter following walking backwards,a non-silenced MP-40 held to his shoulder.

Ryuu: *grins at Rachel* "It's nice to finally see your face. Please, there is no hostility here. Place your guns on the table."

Vextri becomes visible again and shuts the door with a flic of his blade. He runs down the hallways to the boardroom scraping his wsord on the floor leaving a very thin line of blue-gold flame.

The man, Atramax... quietly slips away, with newfound strength, over to Marcus. Things seem to move slower for him, he is moving in slowtime for a short while... He mvoes over to Marcus like a shadow moves over the ground... silently and gracefully. Tools on his belt glimmer slightly. As Marcus falls, Atramax catches him and holds him up while standing right behind him. It looks like Marcus is still alive and walking because youcan't see Atramax for soem reason... He "walks" Marcus int the alley and sets him down quietly, and covers him up with his cloak. Now both men seem almost invisible, and they have almost perfect camoflauge.
He proceeds to search Marcus's body...

(what does he find?)

[me sir is leaving due to confusion and lack of cohernacy. Spontanious is the word.]

The shadow slings the rifle on his shoulder, then rolls off the edge of the building, kicking off of the side of another structure and backflipping, landing silently in an alley. He moves towards the office(?) building, heading for the roof.

Vextri rushes into the boardroom, sees the people, turns, and faces the doorway, blade still touching the floor at the end of the trail of flame. The hall's walls ripple.

<OOC you will be missed Kain /OOC>


On Marcus' body, Atramax finds a fully loaded semi-automatic gun, the watch, a tape (which has the coded mission on it), some money, a piece of paper with a phone number on it, and a slim cell phone.

Rachels eyes are cold as ice. "Do as she says..." The guards place old fasioned Colt 45s on the table. They can hear a few shouts from outside, and worried looks appear on their faces.

The two soldiers exit at street level,silently stealing across to the entrance of the building that Ryuu had entered.It would be noticed that several other creatures of the night,as they are called,began filtering through to that building.

(OOC Reason why, I have no freaking idea what is going on, and tons of people are here for some people skay reasons I suspect. But anyway...I do not like this style. I prefer plotlines etc, where I know what is going on more. Have fun though!)

{i'm in the boardroom too, ryuu, guards and rachel. you must have noticed}

Ryuu spots the intruder. "May I help you sir?" she asks, calmly.

The shadow flits through a window, and conceals himself in the rafters above the boardroom, curious.

OOC: He's also intrigued by Ryuu's red hair.

Vextri does not respond.

Suddenyl he turns around very fast with a line of blue flame shooting striaght out of his blade. It travels from where his blade had been touching the floor up to the rafters where this sniper is and stops inches away from the 'shadow''s face.

A TSD operative looks around his room, he turns on the Lights and opens his breifcase to reveal a Small Computer handheld PADD awaiting instructions


Operative:Time to get to work, i have got to find out what's going on in this town, and quick before they find our Black Suns Building that we have here



OOC: Black Suns is a Company that makes War matirial for the TSD and other Nations, it's sidelines include illigale Expariments wit hteh Alien Facehuggers

Atramax stashes the money in a bag, and takes the gun, cell phone, tape, and paper. He ignores the phone number for now, and walks towards the cellar entrance in the alley.
This just happens to be the entrance to the boardroom's cellar...

{who are you, where are you, and what connection do you have to this RP?}

Vextri sinces Atramax approaching.

Suddenly the room is alive with soldiers,the sniper having a small callibur pistol and his spotter said sub-machine gun.About eight others are with them guns pointed everywhere,attempting to get those present down on the ground.The Mnemonexus guy would feel a random gun pointed to the small of his back.Several blocks away,a band of unmarkd cars had unloaded marines in wet-suits into the sewer lines.Using GPS they filied out of a manhole near the building.A Blackhawk could be heard in the distance.In fact.A trio of Blackhawks.

The guards have picked up their guns again and are pointing them at the intruder and the red haired girl.

It's not sound, but the odd smell that the woman recognizes

"Argonian, please attend us...have you not crossed the path of my orginization before to benift us both? I am curious as to why you hunt here..."

The guards are obviously in a confused state

***On a cliff overlooking everything***

"Sir, the troops are in place..."

"Good..."

"What do we do now?"

"Now, we wait..."

OOC:This is a open RP it said, i am not going to fight, just do some sideline Buissnes for Trasa, Trasa has at LEAST one TSD operative inside everycountry except Belems, he's to hard to inflitrate, he's there to pick up a Package from the Black Suns Company

The fires point to nothing, as the shadow has relocated. A single throwing knife sails silently down, clipping the man's ear.

OOC: It's a warning. Typically, back in the day, a throwing kinfe meant "Your death comes of swift feet". In this case it's "Back off".

{Mnemonexus you can't sense Atramax being here... your guy isn't omniscient give him some limits... mine has limits being that h's currently very weak.}

Atramax slips down into the cellar, and crawls toward a light. He sees the last of the amrines enter the boardroom and suddenly realizes that something big is going on. He waits in the darkness as gunfire sounds above.

OOC: This is annoying. I try to post, and others post before me, therefore scrambling my posting into something that is irrevelant.

IC: The shadow remains hidden. "I commend you on your perception, black-haired softskin, but I am quite comfortable up here. I know not your plans for me if I show myself. I came to listen, nothing more."

Vextri does nothing about the guns but suddenly disappears and reappears a few feet away.

"I am not your Ryuu's enemy and nor are you."

"Or are you..."

The line of blue flame flares up creating a wall down the hall way and across part of the boardroom's wall, beheading one of the soldiers.

***On the Cliff***

"Sir, there is some movement..."

"Shut up..."

"But sir..."

Before the man finishes, his jugular is slashed, and he falls gurgling to the ground, dying...

Vextri does nothing about the guns but suddenly disappears and reappears a few feet away.

"I am not your Ryuu's enemy and nor are you."

"Or are you..."

The line of blue flame flares up creating a wall down the hall way and across part of the boardroom's wall, beheading one of the soldiers.

1:You cannot post loses for someone else.

2:They were already in the room.

"I am here to preserve the balance. These events are naught but chaos and must cease. If combat breaks out I am on no man's side. And none shall live till I fall."

Vextri's wall disappears. He sheaths his sword and stares directly at Ryuu, expressionless.

"You are being hunted."

ooc: and 3. your character is too powerful

The TSD operative closes his case and hides it under his bed


then he walks to the window and exits through it,he goes to a Black Suns Building and waits in the Lobby


Operative:The Password is Jusaib


BS Guard:correct, follow me sir


he leads the Operative to a Storage and research area

BS Guard:take whatever weapons you may need for your mission on the planet LX-32


Operative:Thankyou, be very quiet about this, you know that what we are doing here is illeagle.

The woman looks at the situation. "I'm afraid I'm lost as to why any of you are here? Or is our buissness dealings that intresting to mutliple nations? I didn't know whe had become such a concern.

OOC:1) Trailers I thought you had left the Forums and an entire army squad?

2) Wandering Aragonians (sorry for spelling trying to get this out quickly)
I agree...

{I'm sorry, it came very close to beheading one of the soldiers}

OOC:Left the forums?No.This is simply a Spec Op.Only about 15 people involved.

Vextri: "where is 'marcus'? He has disturbed the balance. He must be eliminated from the situation. But not from life. He is the key."

OOC: I have trouble spelling it, too. I often get that 45 minute ban on my log-ins, since someone has apparently tried to annoy me by making a nation with the same name, only misspelled.

ooc: he was killed and Atramax looted his body already

{I'm sorry, it came very close to beheading one of the soldiers}

OOC:Thank you.

"Holy shit"Someone said at the light thing.

"GET DOWN!"Said a ranking officer.

All hit the deck,but one was slow and gets a hair trim.He sits quivering on the floor.

Vextri walks toward the alley and burns a blue-fiery whole in the wall as he goes, which melts a bit and reforms itself behind him. He comes to Marcus's body and stares down at it muttering an enchantment.

Rachel Vack looks at the special ops squad, and listens to the babbling of doom....
"I'm afraid I don't quite understand what is going on here. Is there something I can do for you? Or have I pissed off some head of state recently? I did kick the Tzar's third cousin in the balls, but I thought that the Tzar then had him beheaded...and balance who needs balance? I've got a perfect balance...although I'm wondering if our mysterious freind is still hovering above. I can't smell him over the burned carpet anymore..."

Ryuu: *over the commotion, screams* "What's going on in here! This was a sealed office and this meeting was top-secret and classified. I do not appreciate weapons of any type pointed at me. So I suggest you all leave!"

Atramax sees light and blue flame shining upstairs...

He thinks to himself: What? How can... is this more... there cannot be other gifted, other magi here... how? I chose this location randomy, I did not think...

He suddenly realizes that maybe he should try decoding that tape...
He produces a metal orb and magicaly but simply shapoes it into a player... and listens quietly to the tape.

OOC: Smell him? :?:

Vextri (telpathy): No one has pointed any weapons at you.

All sines of the blue flame disappear as a column of blue from the sky comes down and resurrects marcus. Vextri suddenly collapses and is apparently weakened be it. He has actually used a good deal of his life force to resurrect the man but now has less power left.

Vextri re-enters the building and boardroom but comes in and sits down in a seat patiently. He draws his sword, which no longer glows nearly as brightly, and places it on the table. Marcus has followed him and is standing in the doorway confused. Suddenly Marcus gains control of his body again.

On the tape, there is a faint buzzing sound, then a repeated tapping. This continues throughout the tape. A computerized voice says: "Soccer is a unique sport. It's best to play soccer in a field of tulips in the rain. The dragon will meet you there." Then the tape stops and the message is repeated.

OOC: I'm not saying he "smells"...but everything does have a particular smell, and a large lizard like creature is going to have a distinctness to it in that enviroment, with recycled air...That is unless I assume that we have a Klatchian croc in the room!!! Since besides a few 'dragon' species your the only lizard type race my people have ever come across. She just has a better nose and uses all of her senses than most...

She looks at Rayu? "I'm afraid the large number of men with guns appear to have the floor..."

Vextri: They are dismissed. They must leave.

***On the Cliff***

The man straightens up and says into his comlink, "Move out..." Then he jumps off and onto a Storm Dragon and flies towards the building.

Atramax thinks: The dragon... there is only one dragon but she can't be here...
Rain it is not rainiing... tulips? Or is it Two lips in the rain or the reign...
Dragon playing soccer in a field of rain... there must be tulips somewhere...


ooc: if he's going to understand this I can't interpret it for him because I don't know what its supposed to be...

Ryuu: *nods at Rachel* Even if no weapons are pointed at me, there are still weapons in the room. That suggests that I am to be killed.


Marcus looks to the man who has resurrected him. "Where am I?"

OOC:Gee.I love infiltrating top secret meetings for no obvious reason.

IC:Mnemonexus was another reason they had come.Hence a small squad was sent after him.

OOC:How the hell is he resurrecting people?MARCUS STAYS DEAD!*Shoots marcus repeatedly*

IC:Without answering,the odd people would attempt to stuff Ryuu into an unmarked vehicle.The other woman present disregarded,accept for making them lay down on the floor and their weapons taken.Handcuffs too.

OOC: Okay. Question: Why not return to 'The Hunt for Jai'?

IC: "Would you like me to dispose of them?" The voice from the rafters asks.

<ooc wait.. there is confusion here.. who is stuffing Ryuu into an unmarked van and under what circumstances??? /ooc>

OOC:The spec ops.Trailers Intell is doing like a Witness Protection program thing.You know.To keep her away from Marcus and his frieds.They also suspect the others at her meeting as hostiles.

OOC: Last time I checked, it was considered bad RP etiquette to control another person's character. If it's fair game, then I'll have my character swing down from the ceiling and start cutting heads off of soldiers.

OOC:Im not controlling.There was an "Attempted" in there.So she can struggle and run and stuff.

OOC: Just to clairify...

Vextri disagrees with the men taking Ryuu away and prevents that. He also uses more of his diminishing power to create a shield around Marcus.

We must wait. The answer lies in the Dragon.

The Storm Dragon lands on the ground with an earth-shaking thud. The rider jumps off and begins to pat the Dragon's head...

"Thank you, Azara for taking me..."

"Your welcome, Omnius, your needs are my commands..." the dragon responds...

Omnius draws his sword and begins to walk towards the [insert place]...

OOC: I don't really know the location so I'm fudging a little... :oops:

Vextri disagrees with the men taking Ryuu away and prevents that. He also uses more of his diminishing power to create a shield around Marcus.

We must wait. The answer lies in the Dragon.

That is complete BS you can't say that junk. Prevented that? shield? infinite power? Get real this is supposed to be een somewhat fair oh omnipresent omniscient and omnipotent one. Should you worship your character as he's apparently a god?

"Perhaps I am the dragon the tape speaks of?" The voice says, its gravely undertone echoing about the room eerily.

Ryuu: *stares hard at Vextri* "Nobody is taking me away." Don't mention the Dragon again. *she telepathed him*

the TSD operative picks 3 weapons for his mission


1:M 16

2:Knife

3:Mausar Rifle

then he takes them back to his apartment and brings out a Dose of bloodrage from his coat pocket and takes it

Nearby, in the backdrop, a silently sobbing Mime leaps from a rooftop and haplessly lands on a trampoline, bouncing several times before being knocked unconscious. A mob with torches grab the mime and drag him away.

OOC: Oh what the heck...

IC:

Omnius walks slowly towards the building, through the grass fields, ready for anything. As he is walking four men appear out of the grass and begin to follow him...

"Ah... So you have arrived."

"Yes, Sire." the four men respond as one.

"Good, come, we have business to attend to..."

Vextri disagrees with the men taking Ryuu away and prevents that. He also uses more of his diminishing power to create a shield around Marcus.

We must wait. The answer lies in the Dragon.

That is complete BS you can't say that junk. Prevented that? shield? infinite power? Get real this is supposed to be een somewhat fair oh omnipresent omniscient and omnipotent one. Should you worship your character as he's apparently a god?

Not infinite. Actually it's almost gone. He's getting weaker. Not god either. Not omnipotent either. Or omnipresent. Or omniscient. Vextri's power will be gone about when the dragon does its task, whatever that may be.

OOC: Where doesn't ST show up at? And how is he gonna carry two rifles without getting bogged down?

Rachel smiles at the statement from above. "I'm afraid that things are such that none of us know who is where. But I give you thanks for the offer.

"I would appreicate it if you would tell me why you are removing my contact from the area by force..."

OOC: I've taken self-imposed exile from that thread, and my character is dead. (and I have some problems with a few still in it....)

Second, I"m trying to find out the plot here people could be please stop the random killing spree until we know what the host plot is up to? Although I'm confused. Trailers is kidnapping the lead character?

Atramax hears someone say "dragon" repeatedly above him... he moves toward the light that is the stairs up, still thinking about the tape, and other things: How could a gifted, a magi be here, I must find out how they have come here if they are here. *He sees a faint blue flame* They are... damn...

OOC: look at the previous posts, and how he got them back to his apartment, he used a Truck and hid them very well inside then drove back, end of story.

OOC: have your characters glance out the windows are something!!! There is a freaking big dragon nearby, and nobody is freaking noticing!!!

meanwhile, off in the distance.

"HQ is sending another guy to do Marcus' job. He is not responding." a black device says. "I want you to shadow him and make sure that he doesn't f*ck this one up." "I'll do my best, sir." Calina turned off the box shaped thing and stuck it in her pocket. She hopped on her motorcycle and sped her was towards Area 54.

back at the building.

Vextri does nothing but is keeping a close eye on Ryuu and Marcus's remaints. He appears to be very exhausted.

OOC:To save face.Forget about me and the soldiers.Ima go kill someone.

OOC:
A) How big...I'm from a region where there are 33 ft lizards in the jungles
B) I'm in a board room with a kidnapping with a special ops squad. Much more pertinant.

Vextri: the dragon has come. Make way...

OOC: We deal with amatures, AAC. That explains the random killings and incoherent plotline. Our host has done quite well, though.

OOC: The dragon is some 200 meters long...

IC:

Omnius gestures to his men, who disappear at a run towards the building. Omnius strolls towards the entrance, with not a single concern, and knocks on the door...

<ooc what? dragon?? Who did that? Dragon is a metaphor. DUH! geeze... get rid of it... /ooc>

(who's the 'host'?)

<ooc what? dragon?? Who did that? Dragon is a metaphor. DUH! geeze... get rid of it... /ooc>


See the first post.

A groan sounds from above. "I believe I know the one about to enter. A pain in the tail if one were to ask me to describe him."

[deleted]

OOC: I changed the character... *sigh* sorry about being a pain in your other post... :oops: :cry:

OOC:
Trailers you ADD punk...that's f****** it. I've had it with you...your on my offical permenant Ignore list with Melkor the stuffed doll.

IC:
"Intresting visual effects, I actually believed that death squad was real.." Rachel says with little bite in her voice...

OOC: You are forgiven. Don't worry about the other thread.

OOC: Chained, or Un-Chained?

ooc: am I an amature? I have killed no one and have a relationship with the plot. Now "Vextri"... random killlings Mnemonexus? Done already?

Atramax slips upstairs and sees dead bodies around him. He also sees Vextri and is relieved that Vextri looks weak... magi... I will be able to win however he is tired and I have regained my strength. I hope though that we do not need to fight...


ooc: If you want to know what the dragon is, well, read the first post if you haven't already...

OOC: my character rode in on a dragon... dragon metaphor!?! okay...

<ooc you could like merge... /ooc>...


Vextri turns toward the door.


He uses some of his fading strengh for telepathy to Atramax: {The dragon is Ryuu... the soccer is a codeword for action... rain is death... tulips... the sky...}

Omnius waits patiently for someone to answer the door... Meanwhile, his men take up positions surrounding the building. Azara (the Storm Dragon) goes to sleep...

OOC: Chained, or Un-Chained?

???

{I haven't killed a single person! what are you going on about?}

OOC: Chained, or Un-Chained?

That was for Alcona and Hubris

<so what? they are no soldiers, no dead bodies, nothing in my board room except for Ryuu, Rachel, Argonian, Vextri... anyone I'm missing..oh and Rachel's two bodyguards. I'm trying to make a serious RP, people.. this isn't wonderland here. />

Biking... Calina spots her man's car. All of HQ's cars look alike, black cars with a dark blue sign on the side. If you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't even see it. She follows the car to the inner-city and takes the first turn. She circles the block and watches his car make turns from a distance. She was waiting for him to make a move.

Back...

OOC: Oh...

OOC: I mean you need to develop a character, from scratch. Don't just create some super character for each RP thread, it pisses people off. I've developed my character, whose name has not yet been asked for, for some time now. It is acceptable for him to be able to do some rather unsual things.

{My character's nearly dead...}

OOC:
Character Info

Name:Omnius
Age: 25
Height: 185 mm
Weight: 140 kg
Occupations: Hand to Hand Combat Specialist, Dragonrider/Dragonfriend, and an Assassin

Why has half this rp been put of character? dang ya'll.

OOC: So we're starting over from when my character entered the room through a window?

ooc: I am in the room too

Ryuu? The dragon... oh sh*t, another magi, where is she? How did I land here? tell me! Now!

ooc: tulips=the sky?
you're saying action in the sky in the death/dying? That still makes no sense...

OOC: Melkor the Unchained...Mod and general hypocritical [edited]...I've had a universial ignore on him since he ignored all arguments against some of his uberwanks and then used is 'ignore' cannon in a tactical manner. Trailers has pulled this ADD crap one to many times for my taste.

IC: I'm afraid I don't know who the two gentlemen are. But I would suggest that you hold on any magical engagement here. Some of my 'equipment' may not react well with abarent energy around." Rachel answers.

The guards are now holding their guns upwards towards the cealing (not pointed at anyone just in a ready postion.)

<ooc we are?



Contrary to popular belief Vextri isn't and never was anywhere near all powerful or omni-anything.


/ooc>

<ooc I mean on the roof /ooc>

"Perhaps it would be best if I joined you at the table..." The shadow drops from the ceiling, landing without a noise on the floor. He seats himself in a dark corner.

If we're starting back Atramax is still down in the cellar...

Vextri, exhausted, takes a seat. He throws his sword aside and starts breathing very carefully.

OOC: I mean you need to develop a character, from scratch. Don't just create some super character for each RP thread, it pisses people off. I've developed my character, whose name has not yet been asked for, for some time now. It is acceptable for him to be able to do some rather unsual things.

OOC:
I tend to reuse/ create new characters per Rp but they are facets of the same institutions such as my milita/marines/royal family/the cult of Athena...example the woman in this and the hunt thread are diffrent, but from the same orginization (diffrent preistess orders)

IC: Rachel smiles at the new arrival. "I've never met your kind, but all reports state of your geat skill and honor, I welcome you."

{who's the 'new arrival'?}

OOC: To keep with the current trend...

Name: You'll find out.
Age: 382 yrs.
Race: Dark Argonian
Height: 6'2"
Weight: Approx. 182 lbs
Scale Color: Black
Eye Color: Golden, black slit pupil
Skills: Master swordsman, master of Quickclaw martial art, skilled marksman, extremely stealthy.
Gear: Usual armor, black cloak, twin katanas made from black meteorite steel, R93 sniper rifle, Colt M1911A, .308 and .45 silver bullets, several throwing knives.

-edit- forgot to add 'yrs.' to his age.

The car carrying Marcus' replacement, Andrew, stopped in front of a building. Calina kept watch over him as he got out of the car and walked up to an apartment building. She waited until he went inside before trailing him.

~~

Ryuu: "Shall we introduce ourselves, then?"

The Dark Argonian bows. "I thank you for your kind words." He seats himself in the light, at the table.

ooc: Vextri you should mention you are a magi... or lse my characters motives are half screwed...

Atramax listens from below, camoflauged in a heap of something.

Name: Vextri
Age: N/A
Race: human, what'd you expect? God?
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 163
Scale Color: ?
Eye Color: Blue-Gold (like the flames(
Skills: Swordsman, excellent reflexes, very fast, magic, telepathy, can see through somethings, sense magic, magi
Gear: Black invisibility cloak, blue-gold flame sword

That's not all that powerful...

OOC: He's not a magi, although he does know a few spells, but I only use them when it's appropriate.

Name: Ryuu
Age: 35
Race: human/soceress
Height: 5'10''
Weight: 125
Eye Color: red
hair color: red

OOC: I wouldn't consider excellent reflexes a skill, nor would I classify fast as a skill. Notice how I said skilled marksman, not expert or master. my character has only been exposed to guns for the past century of his life, and hasn't perfected his aim yet.

But Ryuu is a magi.... please...

scale color is for dark argonians only...




Added stats for Atramax:
Eye color:black
Very fast, very agile,
hair color:black
skin color:very white but you never see it

you can also edit your post you know...

look at my gear. and i didn't know where else to put that.

The car carrying Marcus' replacement, Andrew, stopped in front of a building. Calina kept watch over him as he got out of the car and walked up to an apartment building. She waited until he went inside before trailing him.

~~

Ryuu: "Shall we introduce ourselves, then?"

"Yes, I am Rachel Vack. At the moment I am working for Goddess Chemicals in Hubris as the Cheif Financial Officer. I am also here representing another concern which has intrest in your offer. Although tell me, are you not the elder who hunts the darkones?" She says to the Argonian.

OOC: My character can not 'do' magic. However she does have some magical 'items' on her that she can use. Versus the ladies in gray who have to use their battleskills more.

Rachel Vack
Age: classifed but apparently around late 20's to early 30's
Height: 5'11"
Hair: Black
Eyes: Dark Blue??
Status: Human Preistess of Athena

OOC: Typically stuff like 'excellent reflexes' and 'fast' are unspoken skills, meaning they can be observed.

~outside~

Calina follows Andrew, carefully up to his apartment, then exits the building. She pulls out her walkie-talkie-like device and turns it on. "Things are moving too slow. The agent is asleep. This dog will trail another. Over." A voice responded. "Hold your position. we need you to keep an eye on the agent. I repeat, hold your position." She doesn't speak into the box, but says, "forget that." she turns off the machine, hops back on her motorcycle and heads off towards the office building where Ryuu is.

Ryuu: *sends a harsh glare in the direction of Rachel* "I have no knowledge of such. *telepathically says* Not with them around. I don't trust them yet.

Atramax gets a grenade out of his cloak... he uses the one of his last two metal orbs to make it... he throws it up the stairs... the Magi cannot ally! That is not right... Magi are meant to be alone, for themselves...

ooc:I know Vextri isn't a magi but Atramax thinks he is...

Whiptail nods, the hood still concealing his most distinguising feature. "That is correct, although elder am I not. My name is Whiptail the Fallen, for purposes of identification."

OOC: If only I was a moderator.....

She just thinks...and hopes that it will come through...I'm afraid the cat is very much out of the bag here, and no more messages on this level unless it is an emergency...your giving me a migrane. She rubs her temples in obvious displeasure.

Calina climbs the fire escape on the outside of the building until she is at the window of the boardroom. She peers inside.

~Inside~
Ryuu: "May I offer you drinks?"

OOC: If only I was a moderator.....

OOC: Trust me, not all it is cracked up to be...(Mods another forum)

imagination...

...is a gift that you possess...

Juoak looks around and see's that everything is ready

Juoak:soon i will beable to leave this place and go to my new post

<IXXI are you playing a character in this? or are you just lurking? />

"If you are in possession of water, then I will take some." Whiptail states. His knew that his preferred beverage, Flin, was in short supply outside of his homeland.

OOC: Somewhere in time and space....
A goddess points her ignore gun at Ixxi and says
"either make sense in that thread or I'm going to have you obliterated from the world concept of my worlds..."

IC: Rachel smiles and says "Thank You..."
The guard sees something move outside the window...and wispers "We may have company outside"

Ryuu: *nods to the Argonian and presses a button on her table, turning a speaker on* "Sir, we need water. One glass.." *she leans closer to the speaker and mumbles into it* "have somebody check outside my window for predators." *She leans back and says* "Thank you." *She releases the button* "Your water will be here momentarily. Anything else?"

"No, I am not in need of anything else. Continue with your buisness, I will not inform anyone of your activities." Whiptail removes his hood, revealing his pair of ear-like fins, which arch backwards on top of his head, flaring out to the sides slightly.

Rachel rises and says, "Excuse me for a moment. I need to retire to the ladies room for a moment." Having already located it earlier, she makes her way there...

OOC: I need to eat, hungry...very hungry...

~outside~ Calina stares intently in at them. She looks for anything suspicious. She cannot hear anything inside.

Ryuu's security spots Calina from the roof. One man talks into a walkie-talkie. "We have a bogie. Preparing to close in and capture. Attack on my cue. Attack." A man runs up the fire escape and one runs down. The window is on the thrid floor of a six floored building. Calina's only option seems to be to jump. But she has no chance. One of Ryuu's security guards grabs her and clicks handcuffs into place on her arms.

~inside~
The commotion outside gets Ryuu's attention. "We have her."

Ryuu: *pushes the button again* "Interrogate her. Find out why she's here who she works for." *she releases the button* "We cannot continue with our buisness. Our Rachel is not here. Either way, when she returns, we have things to talk about. Your name is Whiptail?"

"You are correct." Whiptail says with a nod.

Rachel enters the room with an eyebrow raised..."I hadn't known I was yours...Or do you speak of another? I'm sorry for the rest room break. But then, things seemed to be in order...to a point." She sits back down.

Ryuu: "Who do you work for?"

"I work for myself." Whiptail states.

Rachel Vack says will a little bite in her voice, "Goddess Chemicals of the Federated Klatchian Coast, I thought I had made that perfectly clear earlier." The guards shift and the change of note in her voice...

Ryuu: "Would you consider changing employers?"


~Andrew's apartment~
Andrew shuffles around the apartment, picking up guns, knives, daggers, and any other weapon he thinks he might need. He remembers his boss explaining to him how tough she was to bring down, and that they had been trying to capture her for several months now. He needed to find out as much information about her as possible. He pulled out his cell and dialed a number for an expert. "I need information on Ryuu." The voice on the phone told him where she was, and who was there with her. Lucky for HQ, there had been bugs planted in her offices. He learned all he needed to know, then left the apartment to walk to where her office was.

"Are you asking me? or the Argonian?" Rachel asks in a very odd tone...

Ryuu: "I was asking the Argonian. And I did not hear you approach. I'm terribly sorry if I seemed rude."

~~~
The building came into view and Andrew saw Calina, an agent he had seen and worked with before, being led into the building in handcuffs. He ducked around the side of the building in an attempt to keep himself hidden. He had to strike soon, before Calina revealed anything that might hinder his mission.

"I am a Dark Argonian, softskin." Whiptail states in his gravelly tone.

Rachel realizes that she may have given offense. "I'm sorry for any offence given by the general label, however it does note the diffrence between yourself and the rest of us...and I didn't think it would be an insult..." She gives a small bow towards him.

Ryuu: "We all have names here, Mr. Whiptail..."

"I am not offended, I am simply not worthy of that title any longer." He folds his clawed hands on the tabletop. "I apologise, you are called Rachel?"

"I am not offended, I am simply not worthy of that title any longer." He folds his clawed hands on the tabletop. "I apologise, you are called Rachel?"

"Yes, Rachel Vack...We have never met, but you have met my liege lady at the Palace of Eris. And some of my fellows in the gray have joined you in your hunts."

"Ahhh... I remeber these people. Are all the people in your homeland female?" Whiptail asks, cocking his head to the side in curiosity.

Ryuu: "Which brings me to my next question. Miss Vack, why have you asked to meet me here today?"

<ooc whatever you come up with is cool with me.../ooc>

Whiptail drums his claws on the tabletop.

OOC: It's just a cleverly disguised BUMP

"No, but you have only delt with a small orginization in my homeland. One that preferes the use of female warriors to male, my leige lady has many male men in postions of trust, most notibly her great-great son in law, or her great-great grandson. But they are both in government service."

OOC: I do have a fair number of female warriors in my threads. Well, James Brock isn't, nor my nation's ruler. I guess I've gone on a tomboy binge haven't I?

IC:
"A text, which we were desirest to locate, you had shown some knowledge of the text...it was sold by a government that was hostile to religion and constantly short of funds. We would like the return of this item, with a substatial finder's fee of course."

Vextri stirs and comes to, raising his head feebly off the table.

"I... need..." he gasps and falls unconscious again.

Ryuu: "How much would this finder's fee be?"

~~~
Andrew waited until the coast was clear before walking up to the building. He was carrying a package with the name Ryuu Miaskino written on it. He walked into the lobby carrying the package and set it on the front desk. The woman sitting behind the desk said, "May I help you?"

Whiptail dumps the glass of water on Vextri's head. "It is dark outside, but it is not time for sleeping."

Rachel says..."Negotiable obviously, we were looking in the range of ten million Krondor (12.3 million USD)." She looks at Whiptail's actions. "He is only a mortal...."

Ryuu: *raises her eyebrows at this amount* "Really?"

~~~
Andrew said to the woman, "Yes you can help me. Get this package up to Ryuu Miaskino as quickly as you can. It's urgent." At this, he left the package and turned on his heels to leave.

Rachel does not even stir, "For the book that you quoted? Of course we would pay that amount. It is as rare as a Gutenburg Bible is it not?"

Atramax gets a grenade out of his cloak... he uses the one of his last two metal orbs to make it... he throws it up the stairs... the Magi cannot ally! That is not right... Magi are meant to be alone, for themselves...

ooc:I know Vextri isn't a magi but Atramax thinks he is...

This was a long while back... what hapened?, page 8 or 9 I think... no one acknowledged it but it happened... perhaps the grenade was a time delay :?: and only exploded now, but...

OOC: Everything got pouched and a little insane when Trailers showed up with a squad of special ops and started to hijack then decided he didn't want to. So...it vanished inth wirlwind of cross idiocy...and where in the hell was it in the first place?

O.K. looking at the post, I'd say that attempting to throw a granade into a room up a set of stairs from where is my question.

In terms of keeping this RP fluent, I'd say it was just a dud...the case was cracked and moistue effected the fuse...now he knows that this is an apparent sale of something...so no more trying to kill all our characters off right into the rp.

Well first he's in the cellar... and he's not trying to kill peple he's trying to keep the magi Ryuu and and the person Vextri whom he thinks is a magi apart because he believes bagi are forbidden or at least should never have allies...
He got in the cellar from a place in the alley...

Ryuu: "The book I quoted.. Remind me again of the title.. My memory is slightly foggy."

Atramax thinks to himself... Damn the grnade did not work. I have given them plenty of time to find it on the floor...

He pulls out a humming blade and walks carefully and slowly down the cellar, into the darkness, towards another, less noticeable set of stairs.

Ryuu: "The book I quoted.. Remind me again of the title.. My memory is slightly foggy."

"The text is The Revelations of the Gods you directly qouted the archaic greek and not the 17th century german translation. Which indicates that you have seen the book and not just the work of Oberus Madou."

OOC:I'm going to have to give a breif concept of my world to show why this is important. The idea is that the 'Gods' of Greek Myth are not gods but alien life forms that can control and manipulate space/time and entropy at will...the book lists theories of how the gods do this and how man could also. (Like the Greeks with the concept of the 'atom' and other phenomenon, some of it is accurate)....the 17th century translation is so poor it is a joke...

Ryuu: *smiles warmly* "Yes.. That book.. Now I remember why you were so eager to find me.."


~~~
The woman in the lobby doesn't look up from the book she is reading and hands the package to another woman to take upstairs. "Ryuu Miaskino" the woman says then the other woman rushes to take the package upstairs.

Atramax climbs up stairs and comes out on the first floor in an emergency fire stairway, with no lights on.
He steps out into the lobby and sees a women carrying a package upstairs. People stare at him, you don't see a black figure robed a glowing gold-striped cloak everyday...
he walks up stairs, not far behind the other women who is carrying up the package.

The woman stops on the third floor, making a turn to her right. She walks down two doors, then knocks on the door. A voice from within calls, "Who is it?" The woman responds, "I am Linda. I work at the front desk. A gentleman came in and brought with him a package for Miss Miaskino." The voice called, "Come in."

The woman entered, carrying the package and set it down on the table in front of Ryuu. Then she left.

Ryuu examined the package, then set it back down. "Miss Vack, I would love to return the book to you, if I could find it. It seems somebody has stolen it from us."

Atramax hides on the ceiling of the stairway while the women delivering the package goes back down. When she's gone he slips onto the third floor again and hides in a shadowy corner near the end of the hall.

Vextri turns his head straight toward the sky and a shadowy form of himself floats up into the sky. He then stands and suddenly becomes himself again, rushing to where everyone else is.

Whiptail listens intently. "What do you mean 'change employers'?"

<IXXI are you playing a character in this? or are you just lurking? />

i am "lurking".

if i am allowed to that is.

OOC: (Mod mode) don't mind people "lurking" but making non-sensicle posts that have no bearing is spamming by my definitions. Lurk but don't make posts unless you have a pertinant OOC observation.

IC: "Well then, I may well ask who stole it? Or should I look to them to make the purchase. As far as we are concerned the item has been 'stolen' property for the past sixty years..." Rachel says with a dry tone.

Ryuu: *says to Whiptail* "I mean would you like to permanently work as a member of my staff?" *then says to Rachel* "I wish I could tell you. At the moment, that matter is being investigated thoroughly. When we find it, we will get back with you."

Omnius at the end of his patience, sighs and then using his keen sword cuts the door apart and barges in...

OOC: Nobody had the politeness to open the freaking door, so he's barging in...

<OOC when did you knock?? /OOC>

Ryuu: "Sir! What is the meaning of barging in on a meeting like that?"

Omnius gestures to his men, who disappear at a run towards the building. Omnius strolls towards the entrance, with not a single concern, and knocks on the door...

"My name is Omnius, I may be of service to you..."

OOC: The dragon is some 200 meters long...

IC:

Omnius gestures to his men, who disappear at a run towards the building. Omnius strolls towards the entrance, with not a single concern, and knocks on the door...

"My name is Omnius, I may be of service to you..."

Omnius sheathes his sword and bows to Ryuu.

OOC: He is wearing loose black clothing like those of old Tai-Chi Masters...

Ryuu: "What are you capable of? Then I will decide whether or not I need your services... "

Atramax from somewhere else in the building, hears the conversation between Omnius and Ryuu.

Whisper to self: another? OR not I must know! Times are changing. This is supposed to never happen and it seems to have... happened.


Around Ryuu and folks:
A loud crash suddenly rings from above, followed by a crackle and vibrations in the building. One women downstairs(?) screams. All is quiet again.

Omnius bows again...

"I am a dragonrider/dragonfriend from the Five Civilized Nations. I can serve as an assassin or as a bodyguard. I know over 200 different ways to kill people with my bare hands and I am a skilled swordsmen."

Ryuu: *considers this* Hmm.. On one hand, we do need another helpful hired hand around here.. on the other.... (her thoughts are guarded at this point) That project's information might be too valueable to risk bringing in another... "You'd have to apply for the position like everyone else."

Omnius bows... "There are no other good applicants. My men have killed all of the enemy surrounding the house, there were a lot. You should consider your security better..."

Ryuu: "That's probably true. And my security should be tight enough to keep things out, but if you could in, then we should definitely tighten up. Maybe I will let you skip the application part."

Omnius chuckles. "I'll pledge my assitances and the help of my men to support you... If you need better defenses, it will be best if you left this place. This place is too open to attack..."

Ryuu: "Although that might be a good idea, I was in the middle of a meeting with Miss Rachel Vack, not to mention Whiptail. I don't think we were quite finished discussing business when you barged in."

Omnius bows... "I am sorry for my disruption... But I felt that I would never have been noticed, if I did barge in..."

Ryuu: *nods to him* "Then be off or sit for a while, I will return attention to you after the matter at hand is dealt with. Rachel, as you were saying?"

Omnius silently disappears from the room, and runs up the stairs till he reaches the roof. Silently taking a seat, Omnius surveys the scene around him.

Rachel Vack was thinking about leaving, "Well if you don't know who stole the book, or where it might be...could you tell me why in the hell that this place is crawling with armed individuals and silent partners of some sort. Or have I walked into the middle of something again?"

Ryuu: *considers for a moment, then responds* "Inventory, I think... Tell me again why this book is so important to you? I'm terribly sorry for all the interruptions.. We have been investigating the disappearance of your book for quite some time now, and they only conculstion our organization reached is that one of our rivals in business might have taken it as blackmail." *looks down to realize that she hadn't taken care of the package yet, she pushes a button* "Ralph, send somebody up to take a package to my office for me. Thanks." Minutes later, a tall man walks in, and Ryuu hands him the package. He leaves the room with it. "So, Miss Vack... Shall I have my company take care of the investigation of the book's disappearance?"

Rachel Vaux looks at her...Inventory? she thinks. "The simple truth is that we will pay the reward to who brings us the book. We have no intrest in you or your rivals, if you wish to resecure it...well then you know the payment that you will receive. Although why they have 'blackmailed' you with it is beyound me..." She has seemenly now brought out a small object, a crystal ball about the size of a tennis ball. It has small indented symbols that are hard to make out.

OOC: It is magical but unactive at the moment....

Ryuu: "I assure you, Miss Vack, We will find your book. And we will bring it to you as soon as we can. We would not want to lose your business."

Rachel looks at them, "Fine, when you have found the book, press the red symbol on this ball. We will come and deliver payment and pick up the item. I should warn you...that our offer is not exclusive to you. Anyone may contact us and recieve the reward for returning us the volume. I think that is all the buisness we have to discuss?" She rolls the crystal ball down the table towards Ryuu as she rises. Her guards stiffen, waiting to follow her out the door.

I believe I'm done here, no one will ever acknowledge that I posted anything and it's very annoying.

<OOC that's because you are not in the room.. or anything... I can only handle one thing at a time.. Alex, sorry, but if you really want to leave, go ahead. Your posts were random and pointless to the plot anyway... /OOC>

Ryuu: *grabs the ball and nods towards Rachel* "If that is it for your business, you are free to leave... I will keep in touch with you..."

ooc:I had posted that there was a loud boom very close to whats going on... huh. I was *trying* to make it part of the plot... phooey *feels rejected*

<ooc didn't see that... Alex, I'm sorry.. please.. be more specific... /ooc>

"We shall be waiting..." Rachel says and walks out the door with her body guard...

Ryuu: *nods and turns to the remaining people in the room* "Whiptail? Have you decided if you wanted to join us yet?"

Omnius appears in the doorway and glances at everyone in the room...

Ryuu: *to herself* "How is it that people can just waltz in on my meetings without my consent?" *she sighs, then turns to Ominus* "Yes, sir.. May I help you?"

"I'm sorry for the disturbance, but I'm checking over the building for listening and video devices..."

Ryuu: "Did you happen to find any?"
