«Oldest ‹Older 2601 – 2800 of 4911 Newer› Newest»Sil: *grimaces, lagging behind to lift Hecate by the arms so she isn't being dragged, having to hold Hecate on her shoulder due to the one broken arm*
Hecate: actually the twins are at the lake next to their fathers grave. And they can't swim i don't think. Let's hope they don't get any ideas...
Ever heard of a glorious band of people called social services?
And if kind hearted people who don't turn into psychopathic murderers sound too horrific, one of us could take them in until we can get this under control.
Or maybe even boarding school! I know a good one, taught there for a while.
((As am I, unsurprisingly, Star.))
Alys: *follows*
Sil: *glares at Hecate*
If anything happens..
I doubt they will. Smart kids are pretty scared of water if they can't swim.
But their father's grave?
That's just a bit morbid.
Sil: No.. they aren't being taken away!
*shouts it*
*drops Hecate back down*
I..I have to check on them..
*quickly opens a portal to the lake, looking for them*
Lucas! Lira!
Hecate: why are you glaring at me? I can't help our situation. And now their mother is going to jail. Because my life is worthless i will refer to myself as Chione.
((*nods at Trip*
My brother keeps singing Shinedown and Avenged Sevenfold. C: It's great.
(conversion complete :P)))
Hecate: ow!
*winces*
*the twins are sitting with their feet in the water*
*they look over to where the voice is coming from*
lucas: Hey auntie sil...
Lira: *looks behind her*
Where is mummy? Is she not with you?
(brb
gotta phone nan)
Actually, you're going to jail. Chione's just tagging along to watch. Which I guess mea Bs she is going to jail, yes, but not on criminal charges.
Anyway, legally, the gaol is sort of different t to jail, anyway.
*he steps over a large root*
Watch out for that one.
Sil: *relaxes slightly, screwing her eyes closed*
Thank God..
*limps over to them, sitting between them*
Mummy.. mummy isn't herself right now.. she.. sh-she did a bad thing.. sorta.. I.. wait..
*frowns*
*grabs her phone, typing*
*'I press no charges. She acted from self defence when it came to Alys and that lot. Release her.'*
*sends it to Trip*
Hecate: *her back scrapes against the root and the bottom of her dress rips on it and falls off*
Oh great.
*winces*
Lucas: what do you mean?
Lira: Mummy isn't bad...
Sil: I know. Mummy is good and nice and kind.. but Hecate used mummies body to do a bad thing.. I'll try fix it, I promise..
*takes out his phone, replying 'Sadly dear, that isn't how the law works. She kidnapped you, whether or not you cooperate, I can prove she will do it again. Spotter division, baby! Also, conspiracy to commit geonocide and conspiracy to destroy the world aren't really charges you can stop me from pressing.'*
Sil: *grits her teeth*
*'How, how can you prove she did it and will do it again? I have no intentions of admitting.. and everyone makes threats when threatened.'*
Alys: *trails behind trip*
(hey everyone ^_^)
fera: *still spacing out*
(Hey Fera ^.^. Alys is following trip like a puppy)
*'She offered to allow our to join her in her world conquest, suggesting she will either keep you as a DID while she attempts it, or as she also confessed her love to you, just kidnap you anyway because crazy people do that to the subjects of their infatuation. Trust me on that'*
(Wb)
(i see :) )
ferA: *still spacing out*
Sil: *'She was lying idiot. She doesn't love me. She hates me.'*
Alys; *telepathically speaks to fera* in the woods
fera: *snaps out* what is in the woods?
*'Someone sounds bitter'*
Would you look at that, Heccy! An incline! *he uses the tendrils to pull her up to the edge of the hillock*
Tell me, as a child, did you enjoy rolling down hills?
Alys: er... M me and t trip a and hecate
fera: oh *appears behind trip, hecate and alys* what are you doing? *smiles*
Sil: *'I'm married trip. I don't need another follower. Let her go.. please.'*
Alys: I... I don't know
fera: *chuckles* like seriously? What's the plan? *smiles*
Alys: *changes into a human and shrugs*
Not talking? Oh well. *he pushes her over the edge with his foot and keeps walking*
DraggingHectate to prison. You?
*'So she can do what? Be Chione's kids' mother? Kidnap you again? Attempt to take over or destroy the world?'*
Sil: *'So I can take her to a sensitive and get Chione back. Then fix whatever you're doing to her.'*
fera: wouldn't a dimensionally isolated prison be a lot safer though? *smiles*
No, not really. Folks like this tend to respond a lot better to prisons in more average circumstances. Gives them fewer ideas.
Alys: g good point *nods*
*'If it can be demonstrated Chione is once again in near permenant control of her body then she can be freed. We can get her a sensetive in a secure environment, rather than some guy's house.'*
Sil: *'I don't trust you Trip. If you hurt her.. if you hurt Chione then it won't be the people who buy bombs from me you'll have to worry about'*
fera: hmm perhaps, but if we lock her somewhere, where she can't use her magic or anything at all... *smiles*
Alys; *to fera* w where have y you been anyways?
fera: even after what happened down there, he's the one you don't trust? ^_^
(@Fera sil isn't with you, she's texting Trip)
*'Come on, I'm a good guy, remember? XD OK but seriously Chione is my friend too. I only want what's best for her, the same as you. I just lack the inherant distrust of all established systems and processes.'*
(They're texting Fera)
Sil: *'You aren't a good guy. Don't f up. I want Chi back soon.'*
She'll call on some spectral spirit animal deus ex machina bullshit and escape.
fera: I've been...sealing my mind, putting barriers on it...after that incident, i would've been prone to be pulled back to that state ^_^
fera: impossible since she can't even mutter a word in her mind ^_^
Alys: I oh... I can s seal t that a away if you l like
*'Do you want this done fast or do you want it done right? Because I can only garauntee one.'*
*they begin to emerge from the forest into and area in the Scottish highlands*
Och, we're probably going to need to call a car.
fera: no thank you ^_^ If you were to try and do that, i am afraid you could get caught in something that i wouldn't want you to get involved ^_^ :)
Alys; o one moment *pulls out a piece of paper and writes car on it*
*mutters an incantation and a car appears*
Sil: *'Just sort it. And if anyone turns up with the intention of taking the twins I preserve the right to beat them to death with their own arm then drain them dry.'*
Alys: I I would be f fine
Holy Maloney.
That was impressive. All right, help me put Hectate in the boot.
*'Look, normally the phrase is reserve the right, but if you want to take them into your care I can get you the necessary paperwork'*
fera: Please don't insist on it, you have no idea what that thing is ^_^
Alys: o okay *smiles*
Alys; w what w would happen?
Sil: *'I'm their God mother. That's legality enough. As I said, anyone comes for them, I kill them.'*
fera: Something very horrible to you. I definitely don't want to risk that ^_^
Alys: I I have been t through h horrible things before... I it won't a affect me
*he opens up the boot* All right fine. *he uses the energy tendrils to pick up Hectate and put her in the boot.*
And now for the hard part. *he climbs into the boot and struggles over the seats, frequently bashing his head, swearing a lot*
Alys: w what are h you doing t trip?
(Hey, maybe we should pause. Clearly Gemmy has poofed..?)
fera: I've heard that before...literally over thousands of times ^_^ This thing is different *smiles*
Alys; t try me
fera: very well *grabs alys' head*
*'You're cute. I'll have someone bring the papers over. Write the word 'GrimUncher' in the bottom right corner.'*
Liliana: *she smiles* Mmm...
Parasite: Why, what would you like to do?
Claire: I have no promises about threatening her.
Bethany: Please, Claire...
(Sounds like a good idea)
I... *he grunts* have to keep the tendrils... *he gets over with a sigh of relief* continuous.
*looks in and leaves, clearly not comfortable*
Alys: h hey!
Sil: *'Just hurry up.'*
(I won't be continuing that one now till Gem is back.)
Onwa: *gently sucks her knuckles*
James: Rest for a moment
Its fine.
Hibye, Zaf. Have fun celebrating america day.
fera: *begins to open up brain, letting alys to step inside*
Alys: *dteps inside*
(So what're you guys up to?)
fera: *there is a hallways of doors* *there are doors named, central memories, conscious memories, etc.etc....then there's a huge metal door with "sinner" written on it*
(Alys is peaking into feras mind
Best to do it now before the rp resumes)
Alys: *walks towards the sinners door*
(Cool stuff)
fera: *as getting closer, the air is getting a lot heavier with each step, screams and thoughts of agony are wandering around in dense packets, the energy radiating from the door is incredibly sinister*
Alys: *shivers and slowly approaches the door*
*whimpers*
fera: *the area just in front of the door feels really heavy, as if the gravity has become 1000x before, the energy is not only more sinister but a lot more powerful, and overwhelming, screams are louder and clearer, static noise starts playing*
(*hums quietly*
@Chloe wanna rp?)
(Hi, sorry. Minecraft called.)
Hecate: *bangs on the boot of the car*
*is all bloddy from the fall and her dress reduced to rags*
Alys: *collapses to knees and covers ears* a stop it!!!!
(Okay Jai ^,^)
(Hey gemmy xD)
Sil: *puts her phone away and gently hugs the twins one at a time*
It's okay.. Mummy'll be back soon.. I'll get her back..somehow.
(@Chloe which characters?)
fera: *something bangs really loudly on the humongous metal door* *screams becoming louder and louder, scenes of pain and torture flash in alys' mind* * a menacing, deep voice says: DIE....DIE>DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE!!!*
Alys: *screams until she loses her voice*
(I tried rping with Cole with daisy and con but Cole didn't really seem involved. Is Anna up for rp?)
fera: snap out of it ! *fera hugs*
(Sure, Anna can rp.)
Annabelle: *walks round to Chris/Wolf/Inky's house, humming quietly*
*luckily she doesn't notice Mark and Felix*
Cole: *is sittin infront of the cottage with Ben and tegan*
*notices anna* oh... Hello Anna
Alys; *is hugged+ w what I is that?
*Trip gets driving*
Would you please stop that? Look, I appreciate that you're pretty bloodied and stuck in a boot, so I will allow you to choose the radio station.
Annabelle: *looks up*
Oh. Hey Cole.
*smiles gently*
Thought you were with your family..?
Liliana: I have to say, no one has ever sucked my knuckles before.
Parasite: Why, are you tired? *she grins*
Claire: Okay, fine...
fera: It is something...that's part of me. It's not a monster...oh no it is far more than that.
Onwa: then they're fools.
*grins*
James: *rolls his eyes*
Mmm.. perhaps a little bit. Some people actually need to breathe.
Good girl.
Hecate: i don't want to listen to bloody music let me out of the boot you asshole!
Sil: *kisses the twins heads gently*
*murmurs* It'll be okay..
Cole: my dad's condition is stable for now, I will go back if his health deteriorates.
Alys: I I can a seal it...
*the twins cuddle into auntie sil*
Lucas: and what if mommy doesn't come back, like daddy?
Um, no? No I don't think I'll do that.
Listen, as a car boot veteran, let me tell you that being allowed to pick the music is a pretty good deal.
fera: It is futile. I am the only one who can keep it on control...somewhat.
Hi. Would anyone like to meet this summer?
Annabelle: Ah. Okay. I'm glad his health is better..
Sil: *carefully fusses over Lucas' hair, trying to organize it and distract herself*
She'll come back, I promise. She would never leave you for long.
(Hey kas!)
Alys; b but us k kitsune are q quite g good at seals
(Sounds fun, if implausible, Kas. How easily can you get into London?)
hey kas ! yeah why not :D
@Trip You live in London?
Hey, and I must poof. Bye!
fera: oh...kitsune...yeah i've heard of you. But...your sealing powers are below that of the ancient gods'... and *chuckles a bit* it broke their seals a long time ago *smiles creepily*
(I can't I'm sorry -_- I'm too far out)
Cole: he's stable... But he's a long way from being healthy
(Yup. Toodles!)
Annabelle: Well.. at least he's stable? That's better than nothing?
Cole; I guess *sighs* but if anyone else wants to try and challenge him...
Alys: *winces at his smile*
Annabelle: With you there, they'd be too scared. Trust me.. after last time they'll be terrified.
(I dedicate this page to curry sauce
Because it goes nicely with chips
And it is most definately not a welsh thing)
Cole: I guess... Anyways I'm back ere as things have calmed down. I said I'd train Ben to be a good pup
fera: *snaps out of it* oh i apologize...i just...in a way, despite all the trouble i've been through...I adore its prowess. For such a creature to exist...*smiles normally* but again, i apologize for any unease that i might've cause you. Of course, feel free to try and seal it. I am glad to offer my body if it'll help keeping it in cage even a little bit... *smileS*
Annabelle: Ah, cool. How's that going?
(Msd 4 food if so brb.)
Alys: I I can try.... Even I if it's just t to make It h harder to a access
Cole: *smiles* good so far
Ben : *is in wolf form*
*yaos an jumps around ezcitedly*
fera: very well *opens arms* please try *smiles*
Annabelle: *laughs*
Yeah, I see that.
*kneels to Bens height*
Hey there!
Alys: okay *closes eyes*
*mumbles an incantation and performs a series of hand gestures*
*when she opens her eyes, they are red*
*her finger tips touch his stomach*
*mutters another incantation to form the seal+
*it should hurt quite a bit*
Ben: *jumps up and licks her face*
Cole: Ben! *laughs* as you can see, he's a bit playful
(Trip i'm going to London in September. Maybe we could meet up?)
Hecate: i don't want to listen to music. I hate it.
*glares to herself in the boot trying to kick it open*
*the twins glance at each other then just hug into Sil*
fera: *starting to feel like somebody was burning his stomach* *fera only bats an eye* done?
(Me and jack are going to London around Christmas...)
Alys: *her words become louder and faster*
*when she stops, a wave of energy knocks back fera*
(All possibilities, yes.)
What do you like, then? *the tendrils tighten, ensuring that she can't move her limbs*
fera: *stands there as if he wasn't even knocked back* ok, so i guess now it's done ? ^_^
Alys: *falls to her knees, exhausted*
*pants* l look a at y your stomach
fera: *looks* oh a visible seal...nice one *smiles*
Alys: *stands up*
*is a bit wobbly* d did t that help?
fera: I guess so ^_^ *stomach starts glowing*
Liliana: Why, are they tasty also?
Parasite: *she grins* Indeed.
Claire: I'm not a dog!
Alys: *waits* we s shall s see
Got wiped out at Risk.
Had Africa securely. Tried to take Brazil from my brother. I had ten more batallions than him. He wiped me out.
Then, when I'd recovered enough to have two artillery and two infantry in North Africa, he attacked me from Brazil with, um, two artillery, two cavalry, and a ton of little infantry lying around.
He then proceeded to take all of Africa from me except Egypt, which I held with two cavalry (he had an artillery in North Africa and one in East Africa).
I took him out in North Africa (was gonna do it in East, but my dad advised me not to). I then had one infantry in Egypt and one in North Africa.
My sister walked all over me and utterly knocked me out, stormed through to Brazil and took South America.
Never listening to my dad again. -_- If I'd been in East Africa she might ahve left me there.
Hecate: well i certainly don't like being reduced to a talking vegatable. I would like to be let go.
fera: *rounds up t-shirt on his stomach so skin is visible* damnit *stomach is flowing with an incredible intensity* *there are stomping sound coming from fera's belly*
Alys; w what's that?
Yeah, well I didn't as what you don't like, did I? So are you going to answer my question, or are we just going to have to listen to some crappy local radio station and not talk as we drive?
fera: nothing good *two rogue energies start radiating from fera's body* get back you damned creature *the energies become stronger, destroying some of the environment*
Alys; f Fera ! *starts mumbling more seing incantations*
Annabelle: *smiles, ruffling him fur*
Yeah, I can see.
Sil: *hugs the one sat on her left tightly back, her right arm is in a makeshift sling*
Hey, do you two know where the first aid kit is?
Onwa: of course.
*grins*
James: Mm...*smirks quietly*
I know!
Hecate: Second one.
fera: DON'T !! *the darker energy source forms a hand which quickly launches at alys*
Cole: so what have you been up to?
Ben: *rolls onto his back, tongue out of his mouth*
Alys: *tries to dodge it*
Annabelle: *tickles his stomach gently*
Nothing really.. Belle is growing up a bit rougher but Copper misses Justin.. I don't think Belle is mischievous and tough enough for him..
fera: *the hand becomes a lot quicker in a short amount of time and hits alys with a monstrous amount of force* *fera jumps at hand and absorbs it* what is wrong lately?! I've been keeping you here for decades! *the lighter energy source seems to become stronger* ARRRGGHHH *there is a quick but powerful flash before the darker energy source evaporates* you bastard.
Cole: *teres a sad look in his eyes* that's understandable... I'm so sorry Anna...
Alys; *flies backwards and hits a tree with a sick crack*
Annabelle: Its fine.. they're both such a handfull.
*shrugs, continuing to tickle Ben's stomach*
fera: alys! *quickly appears in front of her, picks her up* are you ok?
Cole: you know where I am if you need help
Ben: *tail wags rapidly*
Annabelle: *smiles slightly*
Here there and everywhere?
*keeps tickling Ben's stomach, smiling gently, bopping his nose*
Wanna play wolf tag?
Alys: *moans in pain* I I'll be f fine
Wow, I must be a genius because I saw that one coming a mile off!
*he tunes to BBC Gaelic and is silent for the rest of the journey*
After a couple of hours they arrive at an area that seems to simply be a load of hills closed off by a chain link face. Trip is waived through a checkpoint and they drive down a pleasant dirt track to the sounds of the announcer saying something or other in a pretty Gaelic sounding language*
*they pull up outside a concrete wall placed in the cut out side of a hill. Trip releases Hectate from her tendril bindings and climbs out of the car*
*he walks around to the boot, the air warm and breezy as the evening sets in. Trip opens the boot and pulls Hectate out, letting her fall to the floor*
Good drive?
fera: scroll! *a scroll appears in mid air, wraps around her and starts healing her* there we go ^_^ I am really sorry about that. This shouldn't be happening...*sigh* maybe...maybe i'll have to face him soon *smiles*
Alys: d don't apologise.... W wouldn't that b be dangerous?
(*pokes Chloe*)
(Sorry!)
Cole: *laughs* I guess I am
Ben: *barks and sits up+
Cole: sounds like a good idea *smilrs*
fera: Of course i have to apologize, it's my own incompetence i couldn't protect you from it *smiles* Yes...but i don't mean just me. It would be dangerous for everyone else as well ^_^ *smirks*
Annabelle: Okay. Let me just go change, then I'll play tag, Kay?
Alys: I it isn't y your fault. H how d did that thing b become a part o of you?
Cole: okay *smiles*
fera: I should be more precise with my words...it IS me...kind of..and it isn't...or was, from a long time ago. Furthermore... I need to get some tools before i face it ^_^ Do you have any ancient, powerful weapons that could help or...at least do you know their locations? ^_^ *smiles*
Annabelle: Could I use your bathroom..?
Cole: sure *smiles* I'll change out here
Alys; *blinks a few times, rapidly* um... N no....
Annabelle: Okay.. *smiles, walking inside to the bathroom*
*quickly changes out of her clothes, folding them and putting then with the towels*
*grits her teeth, crying out slightly as her bones and muscles shift painfully, jerking and dislocating*
*whimpers as the fur grows over her, pure white*
*stands, shaking off the pain, padding back outside*
fera: you'll understand what i mean soon...it is kinda complicated ^_^ *smiles* well...it is getting out of hand, so...I'll face it without any extra power...not to kill it... but to seal it back properly while i prepare to kill it once and for all... *smiles*
Cole: *when she is gone, he strips off and painlessly changes into his pure black wolf form*
Alys; I if it is y you... Wouldn't k killing it kill y you?
fera: maybe, maybe not...i am not sure *smiles* but the world has to get rid of it. I can't risk it taking over me...it is...way too evil and powerful ^_^
Annabelle: *runs over to them, the last of the pain fading away*
*nudges Ben gently with her muzzle, leaning forwards, tail wagging, ears tilted back, grinning wolf*
Hecate: ooft!
*lands on her front*
*growls* wonderful...
(Sorry went for dinner)
Alys: b but I don't w want y you t to die. Y you seem l like a decent n non human-human
Cole: *howls excitedly*
Ben: *starts running*
(NP)
Come on, get up, Silente wants you dealt with as soon as possible.
Sil: Do you two know where the first aid kit is?
*to lira and Lucas*
Annabelle: *jumps up, chasing Ben, yapping*
fera: Thank you ^_^ But if it means vanquishing such evil...one decent person worth the sacrifice :) Judging by the instability of the balancer... it could take over me in the next 12 hours. I am going now, won't be giving it a chance to *smiles*
Ben. *yaps and runs as fast as his little legs will carry him+
Cole: *grjns wolfishly andruns after them*
Alys; I s shall help you
fera: your sealing powers should work better in my mind...that one's true...but i don't want to risk your life *smiles*
*both twins shake their heads*
Hecate: Nope. You'll have to move me.
*stays sitting on the ground*
Annabelle: *chases Ben in that way that looks like she's running properly when in reality she's being slow*
Alys: I I'll be f fine
Sil: Hmm. Okay then.. Auntie will just have to lump it then.
fera: *sigh* very well, I won't be trying to hold you back like last time *hugs*
Ben: *thinks he's te fastest and runs proudly*
Cole: *catches up to anna*
*realises what's she's doing and copies*
*yaps in mock distress*
Ben: *pounces along proudly*
Alys: *hugs gingerly* t thank you
Annabelle: *wolf-smiles*
*howls slightly, darting round to Ben's left, signalling for Cole to go to his right*
fera: *whispers* get ready *uses physical contact to create a manifestation of his mind again*
Cole: *runs to the right of ben*
Ben: *looks at Anna and Cole and howls*
Alys: *nods* okay*enters his Mind*
Annabelle: *grins, closing in on Ben with a burst of speed*
fera: *both appear in the hallways* follow me
