«Oldest ‹Older 4801 – 4971 of 4971*rubs her head and gets back up*
Everybody watch ouy!
*makes it rain icicles ontop of him, 2 land on his feet, holding him in place*
*very narrowly avoids the impact of Dragona's grenade* *continues to attack in the same pattern as if nothing had happened*
#ChaseForBook9
Hunter: *jumps back from rain icicles* Ooh. Pretty.
#ChaseForBooknine
*leaps out of the way at Chione's command, watching the ice fall and then darting back in*
#ChaseForBook9
((Poor Zaf, having to respond to all this. D:))
#ChaseForBooknine
*glances at Hunter quickly and grins*
*uses my own shadows to block Vile's* *takes knife and moves towards him*
Ravel: *sends a stream of fire towards Vile*
Vile: *Aims shadows at Chione never flinching from pain, takes the grenade and throws it in te general direction of Dragona before it explodes, wraps shadows around Samantha's legs, uses free hand and stabs Zaf with her own knife and completely ignores Ravel*
Hunter: *grins back*
#ChaseForBookNine
((Yes, this must be increasingly difficult to keep up with.))
#ChaseForBook9
*ducks to avoid the shadows*
*creates a sphere of ice and chucks it at Vile's face which covers his face with ice so he can't see*
Hunter: *puts battleaxe away, because it's too heavy for practicality, and stabs towards Vile with lightsabre*
Ez: *drains phone and fires lasers with the energy*
Hunter: *catches a few stray ones and stores them*
#ChaseForBookNine
[An organ appears just above Vile's head and crashes downwards]
#ChaseForBook9
(It is. So if I don't reply to your attack just keep attacking because I will respond i just may have like past it I'm trying to reply to everyone at once so I can keep track of what is going on)
*cannot move legs because they are wrapped in shadows* *keeps one black knife out, but puts the other away and slides a different knife out of sleeve* *throws it directly at the slit where Vile's eyes should be* *draws another knife and throws it at another gap in his armor* *throws two more in quick succession*
#ChaseForBook9
((@Zaf: That's fine. :) Very few people could manage to respond to all this accurately, some of those being the world's fastest typers and none of them being me.))
#ChaseForBookNine
*fires shotgun more times, then reloads quickly*
*turns invisible again*
((Hello, Glow.
Would everyone agree to limiting their actions to one attack per response, in the interest of not overwhelming Zafira?))
#ChaseForBook9
(It's ok Zaf :) you took on a big job)
*creates another 2 ice bombs and throws them*
(Yeah ok Samantha, I agree.)
((@Samantha: Well, two attacks, one from Hunter and one from Ez, but other than that, yes. :)))
#ChaseForBookNine
*stumbles away a bit and eyes widen* MEVOLENT IS HERE!!!
Vile: *disappears in the shadows as Mevolent himself steps in dressed in the battlesuit the god-killer sword in hand*
Mevolent: So this is the army
((Ez: Because unlike some people seem to think, we're two people, despite the fact we only have one brain because Hunter hasn't GOT a brain.))
#ChaseForBookNine
((Ah, it looks like it's too busy.))
((I'll go, or ghost, but ghosting really hurts, so I'll probably just leave.))
((Or maybe I could work on wrapping up my other RP plot...))
#ChaseForBook9
Hunter: No, it isn't.
It's us.
And we're better than any army.
*grins and fires lasers at him, reusing Ez's energy*
#ChaseForBookNine
(It's fine Glow you can join in the more the merrier)
((:( *hugs Lantern*))
#ChaseForBookNine
((I'm sorry, Glow. I hope we haven't made you uncomfortable.))
*eyes widen at Mevolent's arrival* *draws the second black knife again* ((Are my legs still trapped?))
#ChaseForBook9
*appears next to Mevolent with the barrel of the shotgun pushed into Mevolent's head*
*fires the shotgun*
*Stares at Dragona* You really can't wait can you...?
(Your legs are free)
Mevolent: *steps away from the gun and puts the god-killer sword to Dragona* I suggest stepping away from me. *glances at the others and eyes rest on Samantha briefly*
*fires his shotgun at Mevolent again* No chance.
*slowly builds an armour of ice over her body then creates a broadsword*
Hunter: *steps closer to Mevolent*
Ez: *teleports nearby*
Hunter; *chucks her his phone*
Ez: *drains it* *chucks back*
((All done very quickly))
#ChaseForBookNine
*the expression of fear passes, and her face goes blank again* You think we'll do what you say because we're afraid? *draws a silver knife and throws it at his chest*
#ChaseForBook9
Hunter: *fires laser at God-Killer sword* *watches to see what will happen*
Ez: *fires lasers at Mevolent*
#ChaseForBookNine
Mevolent: *Dragona finds his gun hovering over jhis head* *steps away from him* How amazing you all attack Vile but me you are scared.
*glares* No one here is afraid of you, Mevolent.
#ChaseForBook9
Mevolent: *catches the knife and lets lasers hit but they don't do anything* *chucks the knife at Zafira hitting her*
Ez: How amazing that one of the most powerful people there is is blind.
Hunter: That's discrimination . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
((((((((Oh gosh, the more I look through this and edit, the more I realize the story I've been going on about is actually quite rubbish!))))))))
#ChaseForBook9
I'm not scared.
*takes a step towards Mevolent with his fists raised*
*throws one of the glowing black knives, which will slice right through and burn anything it touches, straight for his heart*
#ChaseForBook9
Hunter: Okay.
Cool.
Ez: *pulls out handgun* *tries bullets*
Hunter: *swings lightsabre, aiming to shop his head off*
#ChaseForBookNine
((Everyone thinks their own stories are rubbish, Fabi. Just keep writing.))
#ChaseForBook9
((@Lantern: I bet it isn't. :)))
#ChaseForBookNine
*waits till armour is fully created, grabs sword and races straight for Mevolent*
Hunter: Everyone has swords . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
*swings a punch at Mevolent*
*tries to pierce his armour but fails and backs away to a safe distance*
Mevolent: *Moves to the knife hits his left arm* Impressive *looks at Dragona slightly amused* *ducks from lightsaber amused*
*stands and wraps shadows around Mevolent*
Ravel: *takes one of Zaf's knives and aims at Mevolent*
I don't have swords. *draws another knife, this one medium length and covered in runes, from her jacket, so both hands are full again*
#ChaseForBook9
*looks at Hunter* want one too?
Also, I prefer swords, I'm just better using a sword than gun.
*kicks and punches at Mevolent*
Hunter: *swings lightsabre at Mevolent's chest instead*
#ChaseForBookNine
*looks at Dragona in disbelief*
*throws the rune-covered knife, which will cause intense blistering upon impact, and darts forward, aiming to pull her second black knife out of his arm*
#ChaseForBook9
*looks back at Chione* What? He stole my shotgun!
Hunter: Chione: I'm fine. :) *pulls sword out of his jacket* *replaces it*
#ChaseForBookNine
((Chigona))
#ChaseForBook9
What's chigona?
*shakes her head, laughing* nothing Dragona. You're just reckless as ever.
*lunges forward and aims to cut mevolent's right hand off*
((@Ari: OH MY GOSH YOU'RE AS BAD AS ADRA. :P))
#ChaseForBookNine
Mevolent: *ignores the shadows and sends Dragona into a tree* I may keave you in peace. Possibly. I know Zafira fears for a friend, if you stop attacking me I shall leave this place alone and any of your friends.
You'd hurt him
Mevolent: No. I won't.
(Ari don't even go there xD)
*stands up again and draws a knife* *advances on Mevolent again*
*slashes his knife at Mevolent*
((Dragona x Cione. It's your ship name.))
#ChaseForBook9
*Chione
#ChaseForBook9
(Aretha, I'm kind of taken already. :P)
((Too bad. I can be a pirate if I want.))
#ChaseForBook9
Mevolent: *sends Chione and Dragona into each other*
*slices at Mevolent again*
*slices through Mevolent's armour on his arm*
*shouts* As am I!
Hunter: Uh, no you won't. You're acting like you have some sort of choice here. I know there are always choices, but still, you're not LEAVING.
*attempts to electrocute him*
#ChaseForBookNine
*the knife falls from his hand, but stands up again and grabs his shotgun*
*fires his shotgun several times at Mevolent*
*glares at Melovent* No fair...
*turns invisible*
*once she gets a grip on the hilt of the knife, drags it across his arm before pulling it out, then stabs at his chest, aiming for his liver* ((Fun fact of the day: your liver contains about 25% of your body's blood at any given time.))
#ChaseForBook9
Mevolent: you want me dead? I'll kill one of your people *starts to ignore Dragona*
*appears behind Mevolent and drives his knife in a vicious arc into his back*
*grounds her sword* Right. Now I'm pissed. *rushes at him, jumps and kicks him square in the chest, sending him back and rolls back to collect her sword*
Mevolent: *feels the knife just miss the liver* what...*backs away* You asked for it, Samantha. *grabs Zaf and holds the god-killer sword to her* attack me, she dies.
*turns invisible again*
Ez: *picks up one of Samantha's knives (that was on the ground. Because they must have gone somewhere) and chucks it at Mevolent, faster, faster than humanly possibly*
#ChaseForBookNine
*curses*
Hunter: *raises eyebrows and fires lasers at Mevolent again, not particularly caring whether or not Zaf dies*
#ChaseForBookNine
*ducks down and leaps at Zafira, pushing her to the ground away from the sword, and rolls away* *gets up and mutters a quick "Sorry" under breath before racing back up to Mevolent and slashing at his chest again*
#ChaseForBook9
Mevolent: *keeps moving away from Samanths trying to stay away from the knife*
*is on ground and grabs the God-killer* Samantha!!! Take the sword...
*simply barrels into Mevolent whilst being invisible, so both of them go sprawling on the floor*
((I give up. I've been staring at this for too long. At least I finished it. If, when you're a bit less busy, anyone would be willing to read through it and tell me what worked and what didn't, it'd be appreciated.))
#ChaseForBook9
*gasps at Zafira's order, slightly shocked, but quickly nods and goes blank-faced again* *tucks her knives away and grabs the sword, slashing at Mevolent's neck* ((There should be about five of my knives on the ground, Hunter.))
#ChaseForBook9
*an orange spark hits Mevolent and he gets an electrical shock which paralyses him for several seconds*
((@Lantern: I'd love to. :) And it's fine. All my stories are terrible. I have hope that practise will make me better, so I just keep writing. XD))
#ChaseForBookNine
Mevolent: *summons flame and sends it at Samantha staying clear of the sword* I don't think you deserve the honor, Samantha. Where's the insane man the Sense-Wardens say Aretha knows? Is he in hiding? Coward.
((And now I'm going to join in. Glow or Mantha? Or I could bring in Raeza and Aevil, maybe...))
#ChaseForBook9
((Hunter: I didn't mention it.
Ez: I did.
Simultaneously: Just because we have the same account doesn't mean we're the same person.))
((I'm not annoyed, btw, they are. Just clarifying. :)))
#ChaseForBookNine
*helps Samantha slash at his neck with her sword*
((Your stories are ridiculously fun to read, though, Star.))
((And Nelnah agrees with me! She's always right, too.))
#ChaseForBook9
((@Lantern: Whoever you want. :)))
Hunter: Ari knows multiple insane men. One of them being me. You should be a bit clearer with your askings. *swings sword at him*
Ez: *electrocutes Mevolent*
#ChaseForBookNine
*creates a second sword and slashes at his neck with both*
*dives away from the flames, but some of it catches in her hair, and she rolls quickly to put the fire out before it spreads* *manages to save most of her hair* *ignores his question, darting back in to slice across his side*
#ChaseForBook9
((Yes, Fabi, Mevolent knows Niccolo's true name.))
#ChaseForBook9
*sits down with lets crossed and watches*
(He does but he has yet to use it. Nic is in hiding
Mevolent: *starts to melt ice swords and is suddenly frozen for a few seconds*
((@Lantern: Thank you. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) *hugs* Like, thanks. :) :) :)))
#ChaseForBookNine
*quickly creates a 3rd and slices across his neck*
((Gtg! D:))
#ChaseForBookNine
((Bye star! Bye Ez and hunter too))
((Hello!))
*steps back to see if the sword cut him*
((Hey Adra))
*takes the few seconds and slashes down his chest, ideally tearing open a long, deep gash*
#ChaseForBook9
((OMG Star))
((Ari... We can continue if you wish. If not... This will be there))
You don't want to come with me.
Please don't make my explain myself. You won't like it. I didn't.
(([hugs Star] Bye!))
((Hi Adra))
#ChaseForBook9
((Hello, Adra. Zaf, you have an email.))
#ChaseForBook9
If you don't want to explain it, don't. I'm coming anyway.
#ChaseForBook9
((Hello, Fabi *hugs*, Ari, Chi, Zaf, Dragona, anyone I might have missed *hugs*))
*nods at Samantha as to say "think that's it"*
*she hisses* This isn't about the dragons, anymore. Not just them, at least.
I don't care if you're stubborn, or "too strong" but where I am eventually going, you will loathe.
Mevolent: *laughs as the sword doesn't pierce his armour and just simply decides to hover out of reach*
Damit... *creates a scythe and puts her sword down*
*launches sticky grenades at Mevolent*
*she nods*
Now if you'll excuse me. *walks*
*shoots spears of ice at him with her free hand*
*she begins to make a small portal to New Delhi using the blood dripping from her arm*
*stares up at him*
I don't care that I'll loathe it. I believe you- I do. But I still can't let you go alone .
#ChaseForBook9
*she hops through carefully, finding herself in a small closet*
*she nods, knowing where she is. She grabs herself a cloak and ties her black hair back, quickly doing her makeup to she's transformed into another person, the contours of her face and eyes seemingly completely different*
*she pokes her head back through* THEN BE QUIET.
And come
*scoots back in though the closet, carefully stepping out into the empty hall*
Hmm. Archives. This is good as well.
Mevolent: *uses air to send them elsewhere* (sorry i got sick from an oven smell
*quietly follows Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
(Nps Zafira)
*looks around* where the heck...?
Am I still not good enough?
Am I still not worth that much?
I'm sorry for the way my life turned out
Sorry for the smile I'm wearing now
Guess I'm still not good enough
Release your curse
'Cause I know my worth
Those wounds you made are gone
You ain't seen nothing yet
Your love wore thin
And I never win
You want the best
So sorry that's clearly not me
This is all I can be...
(*is the mailbox* Ari you got mail
*Shouts* Oi Mevolent!
*she whisks across to a room, glancing at the number*
Mmm...
*she hits a new door, and unlocks it*
Thank gods I'm a pro at portals.. *she runs in, spotting her dragons*
*smiles, working on pulling them from their restraints*
*she glances around*
Jackpot.
*drops her bag*
Aretha, start putting in as many books as you can- don't worry. It'll fit. Pocket dimension
*wonders where Dragona got flung to*
((Hi Mara! *hugs*))
#ChaseForBook9
Mevolent: I enjoy watching you scramble to stop me.
((Mara!!!!!! *cuddletackles*))
*nods, grabs books and shoves as many as she can into the bag*
#ChaseForBook9
*she releases the two dragons, ushering them through a small portal in the wall*
Come on... *she shuts it, then shoves books in*
*she nods* that should be good enough....
However... The next place we go to...
Be ready
((I do hope you know what I mean))
*nods again, and follows, bracing self*
#ChaseForBook9
((Msd, sorry))
#ChaseForBook9
((AWH, darn... Okay.))
*she opens a portal*
We go here, and then we go... It's too busy here *she leaps through*
((Love you, Mararararalililily))
#ChaseForBook9
((Will you be back later??))
(Wow. You leave for an hour or two and a whole mess of interesting things happen.
I don't think I can really join in so I'll just sit back and observe and perhaps do a solo RP if I have the time or the clout.)
Well if you enjoy it so much show yourself Melovent!
((I should be, yes. I'll try to stay, but I might be distant.))
*jumps through after her*
#ChaseForBook9
No Annika, help me face Melovent.
((Dragona was doing it too, as was Samantha but they disappeared))
*immediately she shoulders her bag, cutting her other arm, using both amounts of blood to draw the circle, mumbling as she goes*
((Okay- no worries!))
(I could try, but I will DEFINITELY be distant.
Give me the specs. Where are you right now, where is Mevolent, and are we facing anyone other than Mevolent as well?)
((Sorry about that. I'll try to return if Mevolent starts attacking you again.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Hey Anni! Wb!))
*is still standing there, just hasn't spoken or done anything* *picks up knives that fell, and sheaths them in coat*
#ChaseForBook9
((Annika, Mevolent just blew me and Dragona away (Zafira) so I actually don't know where I am except I'm surrounded by trees and I can't find Dragona. Melovent is probs hovering around somewhere above))
((Nps Samantha))
*she stops* Okay... *she wipes the swear from her brow, breathing heavily and wrapping her arms up*
Okay... You're going to feel a pull, and we're going through mine first. I can't get close enough... But yes.
*Chione hears a rustling in the trees*
*she turns to look*
*frightened*
*fists clenched*
*ready to fight if necessary*
*and Precocious stumbles out*
*drunk as a dog*
. . .
. . .
. . . Chione!
*points a shaking hand*
What're you doing here?
I been lost for . . .
*checks her watchless wrist*
. . . an hour.
(Sorry im here i got stuck taking xmas stuff from attic
((At we're both drunk! Yay!))
Sorry I poofed.
A bitch in school found my One Direction instagram and she's asking if it was mine. I said no and blocked her. She'll be so pissed but idc
*looks at her confused and slowly walks over*
Eh...you ok?
((Good on you for standing up, Meera *cuddles her* ))
Mevolent: *watches the others and reaches out to his 'renforcements' mentally* Szoren I need you to kill the Bloglandians in my way of conquering their land
*squints at Chione*
It's so odd the way the three of you all talk in unison.
*hiccups*
And I'm perfectly awright. Awright?
*leans heavily against a tree*
*still thinking about Oscar and Trish*
*coughs*
*blood drips from her mouth*
*Khasiis echoes in her head*
Khasiis: Ten days till death.
*rushes over and helps her stand*
You're...drunk?! *wipes the blood from her mouth*
*she carefully finishes her sigils around the site, breathing slowly to keep her heartbeat down*
Right little genius, aren't you!
*laughs*
*her breath stinks of gin and blood*
(If Ari is gone I may wait til she gets back to do much with Mevolent. I kida need a few people
