Rexo's Palace: A Blight Upon This World
[Upon entering Shujin a giant prison stretches across the school with green cracks, seeping out a gas of sorts as a shadow version of Rexo stands at the top of a tower with a whip]
*The Avalon comes to the palace and scans for any trace of XADA* Jake: I'm picking up on something. Better go investigate. *He proceeds forward into the prison*
Ah look! *Points at shadow Rexo* He has a shadow and a palace!
*Rom runs after Rexo, slightly worried* N-No way... *He changes into his metaverse outfit, putting his hands in his cloak's pocket* Well then... I have to check this out... *Waits for his allies to come*
*Minato stands at the bottom of Shujin with a SWAT team outfit on* Hmm... a palace.
*Mara strolls up to giant prison as she looks around for Rexo she is slightly taken back by the whole setting* Hell did I take a detour cause this seems very alarming and fimilar *She tries to observe the shadow onto of the tower*
[Throwing down some rules, this will be a narrative adventure and I shall be GMing, once everyone has done ONE action I shall reply with an action of my own, I am accepting as many people as possible, please note that lengthier posts get an advantage over short ones]
*a space ship is seen flying over the group and Renox materializes out it* What is going on?
*He then looks at the shadow Rexo* Is that the ruler?
[Teddie walks over, not seeming phased by his surroundings.] So this is a "palace"? Interesting...
*Runs at the group* HEY LOOK A PALACE! *Drinks whiskey and throws the bottle at the shadow, but not going very far since he's on top of a tower*
[The shadow then smirks at the party and activates a speaker connected to a microphone and talking to the party] Why hello there? Do we have more inmates? Or are you here to cause trouble?
No doubt about it, Yuki... *Rom taps his phone and starts a scan of the palace's infrastructures, and any heat signatures there may be inside* So... where do we get in from while being discreet?
Now what the hell do you think? *Minato crosses his arms*
[Teddie laughs a bit at Rom asking that.] I don't think we're gonna be able to be discreet.
*he loads a mag into his Omolon Auto Rifle* Rom what is going on? And why I can't respawn by myself?!
*Minato then looks at his outfit* Huh? When did I change clothes?
*The Avalon takes out his SMG.* XADA?
*He looks at Stormcall* We're going to raid this palace.
*Pika has a trench coat on him* Palaces do this don't they...
Heh... Just saying, guys... Stealth is pretty important, after all... *Turns to Yuki* This is what happens when you're in the metaverse. You change outfits when you are seen as a threat by the palace's ruler...
[Teddie looks at some of the group and laughs even harder.] What are those outfits?!
*Akira, having the most experience of palaces than anyone else in the party, is unfazed by this* Don't worry. Change of attire happens when you enter a palace. *Looks at palace* Reminds me of myself...
This must be unBEARable for you to watch, eh, Teddie?
Greeeeeeeeeat... first King's Fall then this?! Way to be back from Titan. *sees the Avalon* Nice gear.
Ooc: Pika, I think I know why you have a trench coat on... Ic: *Minato then turns to Rom* Well, why is it a SWAT team outfit?
Hey Rom, why did I just suddenly gain my trench coat?
Yuki, I don't think you have a choice as for what outfit you wear...
[As Rom attempts a scan it seems be distorted, heat radiates all over the palace disrupting his chances at a scan] Hehehe, a band of thieves trying to bust somebody out perhaps? Well I say no thank you! Your welcome to try however, hehehe! [The gated entrance then opens up, free for the party to enter]
OOC: Yall know what I'm about to do
Pika, you have a persona, right? That's why...
*walks up to the group* Palace time?
Oh great, bear puns, just what i needed. [He seems to still be in his normal attire.]
Palace time indeed, my friend... By the way, should we use codenames, or what?
Huh, I think it looks good on me... *He watches the gates open* So it begins...
Yep, definatley. I'm sure you remember mine, right Mesmer?
*The Avalon turns to the Stormcall_Warlock* Jake: Heh. Not bad yourself. *The Avalon's headpiece moves up and down, scanning the guardian* Is that a another warmech I don't know about?
Oh course, Ninjii... Crap, it's jamming my signal!
Oh jeez this feel welcoming. *She stares at the other people who have gathered here* So I'm gonna guess you people seem to have some idea going on since I only have 30 second worth of knowledge on what is happening.
You must be detecting my Vex legs. *he points to his metal legs from the shins down*
Why do we need to use code names when he doesn't even know us?
So Minato, got a code name? Mine's Joker, as many know... *Looks at Palace*
*Looks at Akira* Call me Zero.
So nerds, we gotta use code names? I'll be Pika I guess...
I dunno, just a thought, Teddie...
(Just enter when your ready lol)
*Nods* Hey Rom, you got a code name?
*He then turns to Pika* Why can't we call you DrunkRat..?
Well, you don't seem dangerous. *The Avalon turns its headpiece towards the prisom* I'll go on ahead and make sure its safe. *The Avalon looks at the group* It'd be best if someone stayed behind. After all, we can easily get attacked from behind. *The Avalon then begins running ahead*
I don't need a code name. Now shouldn't we stop lollygagging and focus on the task at hand?
My nickname is usually called Storm.
*looks at the entrance* Should we head in?
Because everyone knows I'm a drunk rat! Pika is also much easier to say and remember... Mainly because everyone calls me that anyways. Also Morgana's code name is just Mona so why can't mine be simple too?
A codename? I used the name Mesmer one time, so that counts... So, I'm ready to go.
I'm ready...
(Im assuming your entering?)
*Drinks whiskey* Ready as I'll ever be...
...Right you guys seem busy already...just use Trap as my codename and seeing as I got nothing better to do I want in on this!
Ooc: I already entered, yeah
(Entered as well)
*Straightens coat* If your ready just say ready.
*He summons his compendium and turns it into a mask* http://c8.alamy.com/comp/EEXAY1/police-swat-team-member-in-ct-usa-EEXAY1.jpg Ooc: It looks like this, but without the helmet.
[As the group enters the prison a giant foyer stands before them, a glass floor reveals a mass of people in sh.ackles walking around, as a speaker blares] [IT IS NOW 1-1 PLEASE GO TO YOUR CLASS] [Before them stands 2 doors, one left and one right, please vote which door to go to]
Welp, it's time to go kill some shadows as always... [He sighs as he enters the palace.]
Ooc: the late post hurts
*Enters the palace*
*Looks at the doors* I say we split up in 2 groups and then tackle on both doors at once.
I agree with Joker. So... who goes where?
How about we split up guys...
I'll lead one group...
[He looks at both doors before deciding.] Right is always right, so well, i'll go right. [He stands by the right door.]
I'll go on ahead! *The Avalon Mech bursts through the door on the right and fires 60 bullets from his SMG at random*
*Takes in one Akira says* Sure we could cover more ground but ain't this like a prison would it not be swarming with security as it is just waiting to spring?
I'll lead the other group I suppose.
Alright, it's settled then, I'll go left... *He walks to the left door*
You guys arne't seeing another path here! *Plants breaching charge on the wall in the middle of the room and blows it up, in vein as the wall has taken no physical damage* I'll go with Minato then...
I want the black haired one to lead this one, he looks like a good leader. [He seemingly gives a genuine smile.]
I think... I'll go left as well. *Goes to the left door, putting on his cloak's hood*
*Walks over to the right door* I'll take the right door I suppose...
(So... Left door: Minato Rom Pika Right: Joker Teddie Avalon?)
Move out. *he follows Akria*
Ooc: I guess.
*Opens door and leads his group through*
Alright, let's go... *Waits for Yuki's queue*
*He opens the door as well and leads his group through it*
OCC: I'll just go right
~~~~Left Door~~~~ [Upon entering the left door the party sees a room with vents sticking out of pipes all over the room, with 3 valves on a control panel, one red, one blue, one yellow, the screen blank] ~~Right Door~~ [The right door reveals a T path, with a chest to the left and a hallway to the right, however vents line the hallway spewing a green gas, a sign stands before the group saying "12 20 5"]
*He looks at the room* Hmm... three valves.
*Rushes over to the chest* OH BOY! TREASURE! *Opens it* What the fuck is this? *Pulls out dirty clothes*
*Walks over to the vents spewing out green gas and examines it* Looks like some sort of puzzle...
*Rom looks around* Color coded valves, eh? Which ones connect to which pipes? *Inspects the blue pipe without touching it*
Alright team, this has to be a puzzle...
*The Avalon rushes through the green gas. Umaffected, as he is a machine and doesn't breath.*
Could the two rooms be connected?
12? 20? 5? Some kind of code or reference number? The gas and this maybe connect? This seems like one complex puzzle.
Well at least one of us got through... *Looks at pipes as they seem to drag to the side with the door* I think they are connected to the other room...
Wait a minute... *Gets out of the room and talks louder so the others can hear* What does it say on your side?
*Talks on his earpiece* This is Zero to Joker, what do you see in that room?
Oh right, I forgot about the earpieces...
*Talks into earpiece* Joker to Zero, we got some dangerous gas over on our side. They seem to be connected to your room. Over.
*turns on a filter on his helmet* Me and the bot are going to move ahead so we'll be back. *he follows Avalon*
I feel like there might be a keypad or something somewhere. [Teddie looks around the room for one, hoping to come across sonething.]
Ooc: something
*Speaks through his earpiece* Mesmer to Joker... Anything else besides the gas? The valves are most likely connected, so a visual might help, over.
Got it. Over. *He turns to Rom* Try turning one of the valves...
~~Left Door/Valve room~~ [Upon inspecting the blue valve, nothing stands out, its simply a blue valave, however the pipe connecting to it has 1 vent] ~~Right Door/Gas Hallway~~ [The chest doesn't contain clothes silly, it contains a bunch of grenades, and when I say a bunch there are a lot, but there is only one pin connecting all of them so in reality there is only one] [OBTAINED 1 MYSTERY GRENADE] [Avalon attempts to run past the gas however its extremely thick, in fact, where are you right now? Upon running through the gas Avalon seems to appear right back at the entrance] [Storm attempts to do the same, however fate doesn't change and he ends up with Avalon back at the start] [Teddie looks for a panel however nothing stands out]
*Speaks through earpiece* We got some numbers 12, 20, 5
*speaks through earpiece again* Perfect! Thanks, Joker. Over. *Turns back to the group* How about spinning the valves multiple times in that order?
*Picks up clusterfuck grenade and puts it in his pocket* Hey, any chance we're getting throuh this smoke?
Wait a minute, I get it! *Looks at the valves* They're supposed to be like locker locks at schools...
Renox: Hey Ghost, check the area. *his ghost emerges and looks around* Ghost: Try to look around but this thing is... alive...
OOC: I was about to say that too... IC: *Speaks into earpiece* Try spinning them in that combination.
[Um no... it's just thick green gas]
[To Stormcall, if you wish to scan please tell me and I'll say what you find, at any rate keep going players]
(alright) IC: Time to regroup. *he walks back into the gas*
[Teddie sighs then just smiles as he looks around for at least something.] I have to say, this "palace" is more interesting than the TV world.
They're just plain valves... Do we have anything to tell which number it's at if it is a lock?
*Throws empty whiskey bottle through the smoke to see what's going on*
*He looks closely at one of the valves* Hmm...
*Speaks into earpiece* I believe that you turn it a specific amount in one direction, then in another direction, then back again. I think it goes right left right.
*Turns one of the valves in that order* Right 12, Left 20, Right 5...
[Upon closer inspection the valves are normal valves, however each one is numbered 1, 2, and 5, 1 being red, 2 being blue, 5 being yellow, the screen popping up words, "PLEASE TURN INPUT THEN PRESS THE BUTTON" a button appearing on the screen as it speaks]
[The screen blinks a few times at the inputs and blinks, blaring a sound "ERROR ERROR, VALVES ONLY ACCEPT FULL TURNS"
*Avalon checks his surroundings* Damn. *He rushes back into the palace and into the door on the right. He then activates Cerberus Algorithm -emitting a radio wave that interferes with technology- on the vents, in an attempt to hac.k them.*
Damn...
I see... That makes things easier... So, I am getting slightly confused...
Can... I try something?
Go for it... *He walks out of Rom's way*
Alright... *Rom spins the red valve 12 times, the blue one 10 times, and the yellow one once*
[Avalon attempts a ha.ck, however he notices that the only mechanical piece around him would be the screen in the valve room, the vents not being mechanical]
[Turning the red valve shows a number on the screen] [12] [Turning the blue one changes the number again] [32] [Turning the yellow valve...] [37]
*Waits for other group to turn off gas*
*Speaks through earpiece* Did anything happen?
*Talks through the earpiece* Yeah, did something happen...?
*Speaks through earpiece* Gas is still as thick as it was in hitler's concentration camps. No, nothing happened.
Oh, right. The button!
[Assuming you press the button, the screen blares red] [WRONG NUMBER, TRY AGAIN]
*Minato presses the button before Rom does*
Ooc: Late post
God, what could it mean?
Dammit! *Speaks through earpiece* Did the screen do anything different?
I mean, before the button
*Speaks through earpiece* Nope. The gas isn't budging.
[Teddie looks over to Joker.] Hey, can i borrow that earpiece?
I must have done the math wrong... The red one was correct, but the others...
Don't you already have one? *Passes it to him anyways*
(Want a hint lol?)
Ooc: Y E S
(Sure)
Nope, discarded it after an "incident". [He puts it on and speaks through it.] Why not try turning it enough that the numbers appear on the screen?
(Red= 1 Blue= 2 Yellow= 5 Code is 12 20 5, you should get it now lol)
Ooc: Ohhh...
(I think we already knew that, but ok) IC: I'll try something else... I'll take it slow. *Rom twists the red valve once, hoping to see what's on the screen*
(It's going over my head isn't it?)
[Red turning...] [1] (Just a reminder)
I see... *Rom turns the red valve 11 more times*
I'll get the second one... *Minato walks to the second valve*
[Red turn] [12]
OOC: You guys are hopeless...
Wait, how about we try pressing the button...
Ooc: I know...
*Drinks whiskey*
OOC: I know IC: Are you sure?
[Button press! The gas lifts! And the hallway is free of gas, it seems that at the end of the hallway lies a elevator and a room, the room seems to phase in and out of the cognitive world, it must be a saferoom!] (Speeding it up a bit)
Actually, no. *He turns the valve 8 times*
(Fair enough) IC: A safe room? Nice!
Ooc: Ignore.
OOC: Seems the GM has lost faith in you guys... IC: *Talks into earpiece* Looks like gas is clear. Time to roll out!
OOC: I lost faith in myself a long time ago
(Maybe I made it too difficult)
Ooc: I can see that. Ic: *Talks into the earpiece* Copy that. Over.
OOC: I actually understood how to fix it...
*Minato runs into the right room*
OOC: Scratch that, didn't understand the last part.
IC: *Leads team through the gas into the next room*
*Speaks into earpiece* Should we stop at the safe room? Over.
*Speaks into earpiece* Go ahead.
OCC: It made some sense to me but I was not fully sure what to do. Wow you people work quick and quite clever too.
*Walks to the safe room and beckons to the party*
[The party enters the safe room, which appears to be a regular class room, however it seems to phase from a room with pipes and bars lying around to the Shujin you typically know, and that's my cue to leave! We shall continue this some other times, I'll bump it when I'm ready for the next adventure]
(Alright, sounds good! I'll make sure to puzzle up next time. See ya!)
(Insert Akira_ saying "I'll just add this" here)
[The palace stands tall as it continues to pump a green gas into the air, the party last left off at a saferoom next to an elevator, what could lie beyon?]
*Minato is sitting in the safe room*
*Rom is sitting in the safe room as well*
[Just gonna give it a few minutes]
*Sigh* Where are the others? *His metaverse outfit appears on him*
I dunno... Pika hasn't showed in a while... Teddie is a mysterious case for me. You could say he's an... enigma...
[Well then I think that's about enough time, we can begin whenever you like, just step into the elevator]
OOC: I actually have to go. See ya.
OOC: Bad timing, eh?
[Ah, we shall try again at a later date then, good bye!]
Yeah, that Teddie person is really mysterious... *He sheathes his MANGETSU~00 sword*
Ooc: See ya.
