I'm watching you scramble, all confused. "But this one is HARD!" "But where do we even START?"
You make me laugh. Call yourselves sorcerers when you can't even identify six of the most well-known magical alphabets in the world?
Time is a-ticking, and skulduggery@harpercollins.co.uk are awaiting your responses EVER so anxiously.
I've decided that if you can't figure out where I am in the next three days, I'm going to kill one of you. Because I know who you are.
And I'm watching.

*is about to reach the feet*
*places portal in front of the robot, who is currently moving forward*
HERE I GO!
*sees the portal, and sends a beam of energy through it, before stepping back*
*growls*
UNDER ITS FEET! NOT IN FRONT OF IT!
Huh?
Damn.
*falls through portal*
*portal closes behind me*
*slams its body into one of the buildings again*
*mutters about how that didn't help*
Okay robo weirdo. Where's your wires huh? Where's your off switch?
*says in a deep, slightly synthetic-sounding voice*
You cannot comprehend the magnitude of our presence. You will fall. The cycle must continue.
*walks out in full metal armor*
(Got to go)
(I'm okay, just in the portal's destination- gotta rest before making a new portal.)
Omg the robot SPEAKS!
Astrid: Zanida is a warrior, she protects realms. Perhaps maybe this is her way of showing that she can change.
Zanida: *an ice shard forms in her hand, and she runs at the creature, sending the ice into its body*
((Dragona, give the Asgardians something to work with, they're not going to fight if they can't do anything to the creature. Can we at least use the casket?-Zaf))
*pulls one of the feet off of the robot*
(There, my contribution)
*fires its beam at Elleni in response* *its shields are down to 74%*
Right.
*keeps ripping at its metal, taking large sheets of metal away each time*
(Zaf - deplete the shields of the Reaper - aiming for its beam is generally considered it's 'weak spot' because the weapon leads directly down to its core, effectively.)
El!
*looks back*
El are you okay?!
*tries to shake Silente off by slamming its leg against one of the buildings*
*rips the other foot in half*
(Ok, NOW I'm going)
*wonders if she should help El*
*shakes her head and climbs quickly to its weapon*
*rips at it violently*
*wasn't on his leg on the first place*
*fires the sceptre at the beam*
Zanida: *runs and sends the flaming lance at the beam*
Thor: *flies at the beam, sending lightning at it*
(Food brb
*presses pause*)
*portals back*
Right, i'm back.
Alright then, love. We stay together. But do we have to see what it is?
I don't believe in kindness to anyone but Adra, and I tend to view second chances as unnecessary burdens, but I won't complain if Zanida happens to take care of some creature I'd likely have to kill myself anyway.
(Okay then Draggie.)
Well. That was something.
...:/ *Shakes her head, and then wraps her arms around his neck, hauling herself up* *Wraps her legs around his waist*
Astrid: I understand, Alastair. Perhaps maybe you and Adra would like to visit Asgard, I have heard your Adra is...a doctor? *her face shows confusion, never having understood the term 'doctor'* That is what you call your healers, yes?
((Aladra, Astrid is one of the Asgardians who take interest in Midgardian culture, you guys will be fine, she actually means no harm towards anyone. She's almost a pacifist, but if she say had to defend someone she'd fight, to keep the person in need safe. -Zaf)$
(@Egz UNDER its feet. Not in front of it XD)
((Hunter: Oh, yes.
Big robot thing.
That sounds fun.))
*appears out of a portal* *experimentally fires a beam of energy in its direction*
IT WAS A MISTAKE OK!
Meanwhile, in LOLCAT WORLD
lolcat:I iz haz chezberger
(@Hunt Big robot paused.)
Hunter: Star momentarily forget that. I'm working with very limitied resources here. But hey, I can wait.
Hi. What is your opinion of eraser?
*limited
Very limited resources . . . *sighs, but his eyes are green*
*Adra buries her head in Alastair's shoulder* *Shyung away from them*
*Hunter:
I think I've proved my point.
*Shying
(@Hunt don't be mean to Star.)
*Cuddles Huntew*
Hunter: Technically, Star is more cruel to me than I am to her.
*that might be a slight exaggeration* *but only a slight one*
((Hunter: *cuddles Adra* Hey. :)))
(@Hunt Oh is she now.)
((*Becomes Koaladra, and looks to have her neck rubbed* *Lays on Huntew's shoulder, her bum wiggling eagerly* *Rubs her neck against his face*))
Hunter: YES.
You try being in her head. D:
*rubs koaladra's neck* *he's catching onto that now :)*
azkabang.
((*Koaladra coos, shutting her eyes in pleasure* *Wiggles her bum*))
(@Hunt Oh now now it can't be that bad.
Hunter: Once again, might I remind you that you haven't tried it?
It's AWFUL.
But not as bad as it could be, I suppose.
*looks at her head thoguhtfully, gauging its vlaue*
*continues to rub koaladra's neck* *she seems to like it*
@Egg: Alakaboom.
Hunter: *looks around for setting to reinstlal spellcheck*
*Aladraboom :3
*Koaladra jumps away and disappears*
(@Hunt it could be worse. Much worse. I mean...yeah. It could be worse.)
Hunter: It SAYS it's checking my spelling as I type . . .
hOIRNQWA;RKADF Ahspzgfnsafkn
Yes.
Apparently, Star's external technology is just as bad as her internal.
*sighs*
(Ohhhh. Something dramatic is going to happen on hollyoaks....)
Hunter: @Adra: *nods thoughtfully at 'Aladraboom'*
@koaladra: *blinks, surprised* *he didn't know koalas could teleport*
@Silente: *nods in agreement, making a face*
Hunter: @Silente: Well, good for them.
(Back.)
*releases a swarm of smaller, spherical aircraft with a miniaturised version of the magnetohydrodynamic weapon it has*
*they begin to fire their beams at everyone*
(...I wonder if anyone will die O_O)
(I hope not.)
Hunter: *a beam hits him and he absorbs it, glowing* *fires back at them*
*laughs because if they fire at her they shoot the robot*
*is still ripping its weapon up*
Hunter: Well, of course you hope not.
Hoping not is wise.
Thor: *sends lightning at the things coming at us*
(is Egz still here? Or El? Or Loki?)
Hunter: *lightning* *that looks fun*
*he's actually quite excited about all of this*
*attempts to fire its weapon at a building but it fails to power up, and instead just glows red*
*makes a metallic booming noise*
We are the vanguard of the Reaper fleet. Destroy us, and thousands will follow. Your civilisations will crumble. We are infinite.
((I am here, my author has a child on her.))
((Hunter: @Silente: Maybe they died.))
You are annoying.
*looks into the weapon*
Hmm.
*tears a chunk of metal away, about fist sized, and throws it down the weapon tubing as an experiment*
(Egz?)
Hunter: @Reaper: Well, that DOES sound awfully fun.
*runs over in a blur and chucks a grenade at the Reaper*
Zanida: This is getting frustrating.
(hunter im on the reaper!)
*walks back out*
*ahems*
Anyone need help?
*the weapon sparks and stops glowing*
Your existence is at an end.
Well...
Alastair's gone.
Bye
*its remaining shields stop most of the impact from the grenade, so pieces of shrapnel just embed themselves into its leg*
*waits for an answer*
That's nice to know. I am not Midgardian.
Your weapon is at an end.
Now can you PLEASE just keel over already?
Hunter: @Reaper: Fun.
((@Silente: I know, but I have to take it down somehow. If it starts falling, I'll come and rescue you.
*or maybe he won't, but if not then by then she'll probably be dead so . . .*))
*watches impact of grenades thoughtfully*
*goes back to firing energy*
*takes out metal balls and juggles while he waits*
We never give in. All organics will be harvested.
*slams its body against a building trying to crush Silente*
Hunter! Can you make a portal beneath its feet? Make it go somewhere where it can't hurt anyone?
*a projectile impacts in front of Hunter, and a horde of zombie creatures run at him, alongside a Banshee, which teleports towards him*
*screams as one of her arms is crushed*
*holds on with one arm*
OH COME ON I LIKE THAT ARM!
*headbutts the robot*
*winces*
Owwww.
*walks camly over to the robot, pushes the metal plating aside and steps into it*
*slams its body against the building again*
(Vivanus... yeah, don't go inside it. Just a tip. Unless you want your mind to be controlled.)
*winces as the building comes close to her side*
You have really bad aim.
*jumps upwards, barely catching the robots side with one hand*
(Thanks, but Viv can't be controlled in his mind. Only his emotions.)
*fires sceptre at the creature*
*slams itself against the building again, which begins to collapse* *holds Silente in front of the debris*
((Hunter: It takes several days for me to make a portal, Silente, and an awful lot of energy. They're not like yours or Adra's.))
Hunter: *runs into building* *runs to top* *stands on building and fires at robot, looking at it and absoribing information*
Hunter: Hey Silente.
*screams and clutches on tight as debris and furniture falls down on her*
*grits her teeth and closes her eyes*
*cries out when particularily sharp or heavy stuff hits her*
*starts crawling up through the robot*
*pulls it apart as he goes*
*humming happily*
*the energy fired from the Sceptre tears a large chunk of metal from its leg*
(Vivanus - it will indoctrinate you. It takes control of your limbic system, which, quoting Wikipedia:
"supports a variety of functions, including emotion, behavior, motivation, long-term memory, and olfaction. It appears to be primarily responsible for emotional life, and it has a great deal to do with the formation of memories."
So yeah.)
Hunter: *calls to Silente* You need some help there?
*the building is starting to collapse* *he'll have to jump off soon* *he's only keeping his balance by half-levitating*
(Viv's been previously indoctrinated and broke out. Are you sure this will affect him?)
*slams itself into the building that Hunter is stood on*
Hunter: *is beginning to get an allergic reaction, which is rather interesting*
Nope. I'm fine. Dandy. Absolutely perfect. Just KILL THE STUPID ROBOT!
*kicks the robot, denting it*
(Yes. I'm sure. I've seen it at work before. Quite a few times.)
*the Reaper's inside is full of platforms with walls and ceilings designed to disorientate and confuse*
Hunter: *the glow around him stutters and he teleports backwards, away from the building*
Hey.
I was standing on that.
*he's levitating in midair now*
*this isn't good* *he quickly jumps back onto the building, wary now*
*slams itself into the building again, attempting to throw Silente off and to stop Hunter simultaneously*
*has lost control of one of its legs*
(Right, in that case...)
*shoves a hole in the side and crawls out onto the surface, still dismantling it*
Hunter: @Silente: WELL I'M SORRY, THAT'S A LITTLE EASIER SAID THAN DONE.
*reluctantly chucks another grenade at it, then jumps off the building, glowing* *he lands relatively slowly on his feet* *looks up at teh building*
*zombie creatures swarm through the hole that Vivanus created, and begin to climb after him*
*jerks, her grip loosening before tightening again*
Where the hell is Sophia when you need her!
*starts climbing one handed*
*if she gets to the top of it she can sit down or something*
*the grenade takes a chunk of metal out of its body* *slams and drags its useless leg into the building, and it begins to collapse*
Hunter: *his allergic reactions is worsing, and he impatiently wipes blood from his nose, looking out for Silente*
*his energy is going to run dangerously low soon*
*smoothes the surface as he goes making it difficult to climb after him*
*shoves and a three meter crack appears*
*pushes the crack, thripling its size*
*kicks the crack with all his strength*
Hunter: @grenade's damage: OH YES.
*he coughs, and there's blood in his mouth* *his headache is worsening, and he blinks, trying to think past it*
*looks down seeing a crack*
What the-
*spots Viv*
I swear to god if he gets himself killed!
*grips both edges of the crack and pulls them apart*
*slams itself against to another building intending to throw off Vivanus*
*a large, white, spider-like construction floats form the hole Vivanus made, and begins firing blue beams of energy at him*
Hunter: *they seem to be handling its destruction pretty well* *ow, head . . .*
*he keeps an eye out for Silente* *he's worked out that he might need to save her from going splat*
*fires sceptre at other legs too*
Hunter: *frowns* Does building preservation mean nothing to you?
*its legs begin to have chunks ripped from them* *sways slightly*
*is watching Viv*
Oh for god sakes.
*waits to see if he's gonna need help*
Destroying us will gain you nothing. You will still be annihilated. We will arrive in the hundreds, and the thousands. The cycle will continue. You will perish.
Hunter: *fires energy at one of the legs*
Hunter: @Reaper: Yeah, sure.
*deflects the beams with a newly made shield*
*climbs a lot faster*
*its leg breaks off* *begins to lose balance, but manages to stay upright*
((Bbs.))
*the spider-like creature begins to slash at Vivanus with its long claws, keeping altitude with him*
*kicks the side every few meters, sending a spike inwards each time he does*
*still humming, a James Bond song*
*fires at another leg* You are worthless, you all will perish.
Thor: Midgard is under my protection
*nods*
*he seems fine*
*sends a shattering kick into the robot*
DIE! JUST DIE!
*swings like a monkey, jumping a bus length each time*
*falls from the sky*
WHAAAAAT ISSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOING OOOOOOON????????
Your attempts to defeat us are futile. You may destroy us, but you will not survive when we invade. Your existence will falter.
*another leg shatters* *loses its balance, and collapses, taking out another few buildings*
*attempts to pushes itself upright again*
EGG OPEN A PORTAL!
*lands next to Sil*
Hello
You have a spider thing chasing you.
*teleports to the ground and makes a portal UNDERNEATH the robot*
TAKE THAT YOU PIECE OF-
*words are blocked out by the robot*
*looks behind him*
Are you sure that isn't just a land octopus?
*the spider creature fires beams at Vivanus*
*makes a metallic booming sound, and falls through the portal*
*unleashes several projectiles which land in Blogland*
(Brb.
*pauses* :P)
*closes portal*
Uh.. Guys?
brb
*jumps off, grabbing Viv, just before they fall through the portal*
*cries out when it jars her arm*
(**would have fallen)
((Hunter: Back.))
(wb)
*looks at Sil*
I'm pretty sure I was supposed to save YOU! Not the other way around.
*frowns*
Oh well
*doesn't reply*
Stupid robot.
*gets up and roots around some debris for something she can use to tie her arm to her side*
*hands her a metal sling*
I mean really, I was about to jump.
Hunter: *they seem to haev saved themselves* *he mentally shrugs*
*his headache is horribly awful by this point, and it twinges worse when it wipes the blood away from his nose* *when he coughs, it flares white-hot*
*okay* *don't go near Reapers again*
*he hesitates, then thinks go, and teleports away* *his energy swirls out in a draining blur, but so does his headache, and he swallows a mouthful of blood and lets out a long breath*
*looks around for something he can do*
*looks at the sling*
*takes it with her good arm*
*attempts to get it on*
Allow me.
*fits her arm snugly in the sling without hurting her*
*nods*
Thanks.
*looks around at the debris*
...
Hunter: *there's quite a bit of debris* *it's really rather impressive*
Hunter: @Silente: You okay?
(Back.)
Zanida: I hate this! I can barely fight...
Thor: You're doing all you can, I am happy to have you fighting beside me at least.
Zanida: He'll never go back to change this. *buries head against Thor*
I'll be fine. I've taken worse.
((Back again. Sincerest apologies for vanishing so suddenly.))
*makes a park bench beneath them*
*sits down*
...its gonna take a while to fix this....
*sighs*
Ugh. Rebuilding.
*several spider-like beings emerge from the projectiles the Reaper fired before it fell through the portal*
*unlike the spider-creature which had chased Vivanus, these are more orange in colour and have several bulging sacs on their bodies, with two artillery cannons fused on to their back*
*they line up on the hillside, and begin firing artillery shells at everyone*
Aw for-
*dives behind some rubble*
Astrid: Hello again, Alastair.
Zanida: *makes an ice shield around herself, protecting herself and Thor*
*vanishes and reappears*
*from another projectile - a group of zombie creatures which begin to run towards everyone*
*from the third projectile, a dozen Banshees which scream and begin to teleport towards everyone*
*draws one sword and holds it tightly*
Where. Is. Sophia!
*jumps up and starts slashing at the zombies as a blur*
Hunter: *recharges himself, and fires energy at the orange things*
(Why Adra?)
*flips the bench up and turns it into a barricade*
*starts making a cannon*
Sil, if you see any sizable chunks of metal could you bring them here?
*several sacs burst from the orange things, but the armour which protects the main body of the spider creatures remains intact*
*smaller spider-looking creatures begin to creep towards Hunter*
Hunter: *takes his jacket off and turns it upside down, reaching under it*
*pulls his hand back and a sheet of metal falls out of it*
Vivanus?
Sure! Soon as its safe!
*grins now, and moves quicker*
*keeps chopping down the zombies*
Fucking wrong blog..
Hunter: *pulls his jacket back on and continues to fire energy*
*hugs Adra*
For fuck's sake. *sighs, and throws one of the zombie creatures high into the air*
The moment I go out to get some medi-gel because Silente has used most of my supply, you go and get attacked by a bloody Reaper.
*begins shooting at the Banshees*
Ooh Hunter! Over here! That looks like a nice variety too!
((*offers Adra a hug*))
Various Reaper troops: *the spider creatures begin to fire their artillery shells at Hunter, one of them being weakened*
*a Banshee teleports to Hunter's side*
Hunter: uses energy to toss the metal sheet Viv's way*
Hey Sophia.
Oh, hey! I will pay you! I swear!
*decapitates a zombie*
Hunter: *teleports behind the creatures, pulling out a lightsabre* *jumps at one, and tries slicing it in half*
*catches the metal*
*loads his spring-powered cannon*
*aims*
*fires*
*reloads*
*fires again*
Astrid: Alastair, is this just a bad time to continue with you?
Hello. Alright, with the bloody spider things, don't puncture their sacs. They release Swarmers. Aim at their cannons on the top of them. That way you damage their ability to fire without having to deal with any of the bloody spiders.
With the Banshees, aim at their heads. You're lucky if you can use any powers against them but guns seem to work.
Various Reaper troops: (I presume you were talking about the spider creatures?) *the spider-creature is sliced in half, and its sacs burst, releasing the smaller spider creatures which advance towards Hunter*
What about swords?
*looks hopeful*
*winces as a zombie grabs the arm in a sling*
*kicks it before stabbing it in the head and kicking it away*
