==> Arrive in the Cemetary It had been several weeks you noted... Several weeks since you arrived on this island ever since your session became scratched beyond repair. You had escaped into the Void to avoid being erased, and ever since then you had traveled so far and deep into the void, you didn't know which way was up. You passed through many, many dream bubbles and Horror Terrors until you finally arrived here... It felt nice to be on solid ground again after floating in sheer nothingness for so long... But almost the instant you arrived, you found that drama existed, even on this island. People had been fighting for some unknown reason, you didn't know what. You didn't concern yourself with it... You didn't concern yourself with a lot of things these days... ==> Reminisce Why? Because not too long after landing on this island, you met... HER. Your patron troll, the Mouse Troll, the troll that you considered to be your closest friend during the chaos of Sburb. Rulett Doujou... Oh what an angel she was. Sure looking after her was difficult at first, but once she learned some new things, living with her was just such a joy and such a pleasure... Aaaaaaah...... (Aaron has a lovestruck look on his face.) ==> SNAP OUT OF IT (Aaron is shown to be shaking his head, snapping back to reality) Yes, well... You're not here in the cemetary of Void City because of Rulett.... Thank god... You are here for an even more personal reason... ==> Arrive (Aaron stops in front of what looks like a wooden grave marker that had been made VERY recently. On it, several names were carved onto it.) ==> Pay respects (Aaron puts down the flowers and sits down in front of the grave indian style. From there he starts praying.) Oh your friends... How you missed them so... You wonder how they are... If their even still alive.... You're not too hopeful that that's the case... Briefly, you say your apologies to everyone... Would things have been different if you had stayed? You don't know... All you know is their gone... Their gone.... Their so damnedably gone.... ==> Aaron: Time to Return Once you are done, you get up from in front of the grave... You figure it's time to return home and make sure Rulett handled herself okay. You're sure she is though, given she's likely preoccupied with looking after Sweetie Belle- ==>  Wait, what the heck is-?! (Aaron suddenly lifts his head, feeling an odd energy source from somewhere in the cemetary.) |

==> Wake up.
(Arti rubs her head)
Ow. Ow. OW. You suppose there are worse places to land than in a tree, but hell if it isn't comfortable.
Something weird happened in your session. You could just tell that it wouldn't be great to stay behind, so you jumped into some kinda portal. And apparently, it spit you out here.
==> Get outta there!
You manoeuvre yourself out of the tree. Maybe being a Rogue gives you some benefits when it comes to agility.
==>
(Arti lands cat-style)
You land rather gracefully. However...
==>
(Arti switches from her God Tier outfit to her normal outfit, except with broken glasses)
Best to switch to something less conspicuous. Sure, the Rogue of Light is much stronger than your normal state, immortal and capable of stealing luck to boot, but it's easier to move like this.
==> Arti: Investigate.
It's obviously a cemetery with the occasional tree, which includes the one you landed in. Normally you find them creepily awesome, but now...
==>
(Arti moves her glasses and wipes one eye)
God fucking damnit.
You're certain everyone else is dead. You're the lone survivor. Man survivor's guilt sucks.
==> Move.
(Arti is seen walking, hands knotted together behind her back)
==>
(Arti looks weirded out, then slightly less weirded out as she switches back to God Tier form)
Something's not right.

==>
(Aaron freezes up a moment to try to get a feel of the weird energy he's feeling.)
Hmmm.... This is really weird... You haven't felt an energy like this before..... Or at least... You THINK you haven't... Something about it seems... Nostalgic though...
You decide to take no chances.
==> Switch forms
Since you had been wearing your Wayfarer robes, you decide to switch to your God-Tier form, complete with your ninja like robes, and pull out your 'Power Rod' and 'Baseball Crusher' STAVEkind weapons...
You don't know what's up...
All you know is, something powerful is nearby.
==> Aaron; Investigate
You do as such, on pins and needles as you carefully keep an eye open... There was a notable mist in the area, though which kept visibility somewhat low...
==>
..............................
(Aaron is shown disappearing into the mist... Heck he seemed to vanish from view entirely.)
==>
...........................
(We look around the forest a moment....)
==>
(Before we see an odd looking red eye appear amidst the mist.)
Well, well... What have we here?
==> Be Alex again
You continue looking about, the Void masking your presence from anything that might be nearby... You didn't want whatever was out there, especially if it was malicious, to see you first.

==>
(Arti shrugs)
Guess you're just paranoid.
==> Continue.
(Arti is walking again)
You continue to walk along. You're the only living human here, surprise surprise.
==>
(A slightly zoomed-out view of Arti walking)
==>
You wonder if there's an afterlife.
Then again, you're convinced that Heaven would spit you out and Hell would be afraid you'd take over.
==>
(Arti places the Fluffy Skullcracker to her head. Her bangs are static)
You can feel the electricity. It's making your hair go somewhat static at least.
==>
(Arti looks bored)
Aaaaaand you're bored again. Curse this short attention span.
==> Perhaps some ruckus will un-bore you?
(Arti's slasher smile returns as she raises up her frying pan)
Oh fuck yes.
==> Go nuts.
(Arti is looking around)
Problem is, there's nothing nearby. Well, nothing living at least.

==> Enter
You proceed to do so, dropping through a gap and gracefully landing, adjusting your glasses a bit. You hadn't been sure of how long it would take to find a place where you could help after leaving your universe that you and your friends created upon winning your game, but you were quite pleased to find that it didn't take long.
==> Look around.
A quick scan of the area... shows that it's a graveyard. Well! That kinda put a damper on your good mood. Ah well, you're sure there's something around here.
==> Wander the graveyard.
You think there's something here... something familiar... but you can't quite put a finger on what. You begin to walk around, clad in your God Tier robes.
Somedays, you really loved being the Mage of Space.

==>
(As Arti continues looking around, she was unaware of a distortion of Void behind her, coming closer.....)
Well well there you are...
==> Take in Future Kill
You do as such with a frown... The person appeared quite skinny, not exactly muscular and was wearing orange. A rather bad color to wear out here given that it didn't well blend with the environment... You can't help but feel that this person seems.... familiar... heck his (or hers, he couldn't tell) energy felt very familiar. He was just lost on WHERE he had felt it before...
==> Approach carefully
You do as such, carefully keeping your eyes locked on the figure before you...
Why did he/she look familiar? Why? Wh-
==>
(The view shows Aaron suddenly slipping on something completely out of nowhere.)
==>
(THUD!!!! Aaron then hits the ground with a loud crash, his Void Powers expelling and revealing him as he lay dazed on the ground, his weapons out of reach.)
........... OW.
(Arti's luck saves her ass. XDDDD)

==>
(Arti looks somewhat bug-eyed and startled)
The fuck was that?!
==> Turn around.
(Arti turns...)
Whoa? What's this? All you're getting is weird vibes.
==>
(Arti raises her frying pan)
Might as well check to see who or what it is.
With the weird way the world works, you can't take chances.
==>
(Arti starts to bring the pan down)
Impact in THREE... TWO...
==> IMPACT.
(Arti whacks Aaron with the Furry Skullcracker)
ONE!!
Oh so sorry to whack your face in with my frying pan oh not really!!

==> IEJDBDBDIDJDVEKSLGGDKSLDGFNDOSBSBDKDB
YEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
==> Recoil
(The clump of void jumps into the air holding it's face and doing what looked close to an Irish jig as he recoiled in pain.)
HOLY FUCK OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!! YOUR FACE IS IN SO MUCH PAIN.
==>Ripost
When you get over your initial pain you decide to take it out on the person you could thank for being smacked in the face.
(Aaron is shown to be pissed in the void bubble, his eye notably notably darkened.)
==> GET HIM/HER!!!
(Aaron reels around and quickly grabs Art's wrist, using his other hand to reel back and prepare to punch.)
OKAY YOU- Wait....
==>GET Further examine kill.
That mask... those orange robes.... That....
THAT FRYING PAN...
==>
....................
==>
You finally dissipate the void barrier surrounding you. There was no longer a point to it...
"Arti?" You look at the person closer as if... ze was a ghost. "Arti... Is that you??"

==> Arti: Stare.
(Arti drops her frying pan)
This can't be. You were the only one to escape just what the fuck was going on in there. You still have no idea as to what was going on; all you know for sure is that you were the only one to get the fuck outta there.
==>
(Arti looks Aaron up and down)
Hang on.
==>
(Arti kinda examines Aaron from every angle available)
These blue clothes. The fact that they gave off the vibe of a ninja. That black hair.
Oh, and the void that had been around him, too.
==> Shocking development!
(Surprised-looking Arti)
HOLY FUCK YOU AREN'T THE ONLY ONE!!!
==>
(Regular-minus-slasher-smile Arti)
Hang on.
==> Speak without the pan.
"No, it's your aunt Carol from Florida. Of course it's me!"
You feel your slasher smile come back.

==>Pieter: Be startled.
You are; the sudden 'WHANG' sound made you jump and shout a swear word. "...What the hell was that?"
Drawing into your Mutekind abstratus and drawing ALESSI'S ARMAMENTS, your favorite Trombone mutes to fight with, you sneak over to where you heard the sound.
==> Be surprised.
You are. Holy shit, you hadn't seen those guys in a while... though given your ability to teleport through gaps in space, it wasn't that long, just a few weeks before you'd left the place on your quest.

==>
(Aaron just continues looking at Arti bewildered and shocked. He has not yet noticed Pieter.)
You would've commented on the snark, but really at that moment in time you was too excited about this new situation to care. You weren't the only one... YOU WEREN'T THE ONLY ONE!
==> Rejoice!!
You do precisely that. You don't care that Arti is probably scheming at that moment, you just do it anyway regardless. You hug the little sociopath close and hard smiling widely even coming close to crying. "ARTI!!!! Oh my god Arti!!! You're alive!!! Hahahahaha!! I'm not alone! I'm not alone!!"
Yep here come the waterworks... But you were smiling regardless. More happy then sad.

==>
(Arti looks shocked... then kind of... returns the hug)
Normally you're not one for physical affection, but what the hell. Aaron's alive, too. That means that you're not alone...!!
==> REALLY confirm it's you.
(Arti makes the hug a bit more painful, happy tears going down her face)
"Of course I'm alive...!! I'm the Rogue of Light; I've got all the luck- Well most of it at any rate! I was just......"
==>
"... Kinda... sorta... scared that I was the only one to get outta the dodge!"
Aw fuck it, you're happy. And not the happy you usually get when you break something, either.

==> Be completely fucking perplexed.
(Pieter is seen with a wtf expression)
What are those guys talking about? You won! The dodge? This is making absolutely no fuckin' sense...
==> Make yourself known.
You clear your throat, putting your mutes away, hoping they heard you.

==> Love the feeeelin man T-T
What do you THINK your doing? The fact that Arti was returning the hug just made the moment of reunion all the sweeter. Her tight almost painful hug was nothing you couldn't take and nothing he wanted to get away from. Arti may not have been a favorite person, but she was certainly better then no-one. "No you weren't. When I saw that odd energy I jumped into the void andtraveled deep into it. I must have disjointed from our universe entirely-"
==> What the?!
You quickly hear the cleared throat, and you quickly turned to find who else but Pieter nearby, giving you both the weirdest looks, while you stood frozen in your previous position...
...................
Well.... This was awkward....
"P-Pieter?"

Post by DanteMGalileo on Jul 31, 2012 16:04:40 GMT -5
==> Shock!
(Arti gives a WTF face as she lets go and takes a few steps back)
Well that was more awkward than the time you once slipped and fell down your own porch stairs and landed face-first in the cooler. And that was pretty awkward.
==> Who was that?!
You recognize that voice. Well kinda at any rate.
==> Look.
(Arti places her hands to her face)
And you'd definitely recognize those black robes.
"Well, if it isn't Pieter. Guess you space-jumped your way into a whole 'nother dimension!"
