Eternal Rains (OOC) [M] - Closed

[Cogidubnus]

Damn, go figure being deaf would be one of the best ways to beat him and crocodiles can close their "ears" so as not to get water in them when they dive, but I never said he had that ability. I'm not just gonna say he does it now, even more so after reading the character profile.

Interesting profile indeed.

There's something I just have to point out, as a joke.  It must be a record to have three black jaguars in the same RP.   

Being deaf wouldn't help you with the Deadly Melody - that doesn't require the listener to hear it. It would help with the other things, though.
Also, if crocodiles can close their ears, and Sheebus is a crocodile, he very would could close his ears. I wouldn't consider that 'adding' an ability.

And really? Neat! Do we win anything? 

[Tezkat]

That's the guy.

Hmm... that was slightly more detail than I was expecting, but okay.

If my guy ever has enough breathing room to introduce himself, I'll put up some info about his reputation(s) as well.

Just to let you know, Tez, he hadn't even seen Mask before you said something. Tez's...uniqueness means that he can slip through a crack in his sight. He sees physical objects and consciousnesses - however, not having a body, Mask is as far as I can see an illusion, with a mind - he doesn't often run into a seventh of a consciousness with no body. 

Based on your description of his abilities, I might think "ghost" or some similarly incorporeal entity would be his first guess.

Mask is on a scouting operation at the moment, as it were, trying to discern the limits of the Harpist's interesting abilities for when they have to fight for real. I might also add that putting on a show like that in public is somewhat out of character for him, and certainly a bit surprising to Edge and Fang. Of course, that would get them worried that he has an ulterior motive they don't know about...

'Cuz we rock. On the other hand, it does make it a little more difficult to refer to oneself as "the black jaguar".

Linos is too cool to kill. We should hire him and take over the world together.

[Stygian]

Honestly, I don't think he'd get along too well with you, Tez. If the guy's somewhat tragic and solemn, and at the same time feels a need for a family...

Oh, and you're giving off some pretty strong 'I feel pretty' vibes right now, just so you know. XD

I don't know why I'm writing this, really, other than a feeling that I am somehow obliged to as you all seem to be spewing out comments here at machinegun pace. I just hope that my last post didn't screw up too many plans and at the same time doesn't get ignored in the commotion. If needed, I can revise it, as usual.

But... but... we could feel each other's pain and write angsty poetry together...

Oh, and you're giving off some pretty strong 'I feel pretty' vibes right now, just so you know. XD

I believe that was intentional. To heck with winning--combat is just a stage for looking cool!

that and Dani would get annoyed so fast he'd break the gitaur over both your heads

Yes, but pretty corpses make Jakob cry

You have multiple personalities that conspire against each other?  Awesome!

Linos is too cool to kill. We should hire him and take over the world together.

He seems he might be a bit too powerful to take whole, which would be a shame.  I wonder if we could simply make him a better offer...

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

He said that already. Didn't you read the initial profile he put in? ;-]

I'm not sure we could, and I suspect that he'd refuse it. After all, what's the use of money if you're not around to spend it? And you can bet that Don Sabanethei would be a dab hand at making sure you're not around to spend it.

After all - even if Keats was his pet sasswot, he had Bizzy Izzy and Guitar Hero around as well. What's to say he doesn't have more of them - enough to take even all three of these out? Well... two. I don't think Bizzy Izzy will want to team up with Keats - she seemed to take enough pleasure in hammering Keaton into a pulp...

Of course.  Now remembering it is a different matter 

[e_voyager]

as he says we all have human limitations . as such i need to point out that my post was flawed. i wrote "curving arc in the on crashing the rat to the ground." i meant to write "curving arc intent on crashing the rat to the ground. "  and i can't tell you how many fine details i've forgotten about the races and other players characters by now.

[Stygian]

I believe that was intentional. To heck with winning--combat is just a stage for looking cool!

Huh. I really hope that doesn't implicitly mean that you actively strive toward making it so that Tez never looks bad or seems in the wrong. Because if you ask me that misses the point of realism, no matter how romantic it may be.

Of course.  Now remembering it is a different matter 

How are we supposed to play if we keep forgetting people? I realize that thirteen players might be hard to keep check on, and that this battle seems to have messed things up, but we can't ignore certain things.

Where did you get that from?  I forgot one of the details of one the many characters (Tezkat alone effectively having several).

If you can remember, on tap, the minutae of every single character, I'd like you to teach me how sometime.

If it would not be so difficult and inconvenient, I might. Not to mention that certain things can't be taught.

Now, excuse me. I need to smack myself a good bit for sounding so critical and as if I'm bragging.

I got that from the recent posts where people seemed to completely ignore Sal's web-stringing maneuver. The one that I executed hoping that it would be convenient to you all.

Apology accepted

That would be sitting here hitting refresh. ;-]

Question: How much of Keaton's acid trip is real?  Is she really in a sidestreet hallucinating an owl, or just lying on the floor and frothing?

i can guarantee that when Sal makes herself known to him Dani won't be able to ignore her.

One thing Keaton, Sheabus has never actually killed anyone. He's injured many and almost killed people, but he's never actually killed anyone. He didn't even killed the men that killed his parents. He put them in the hospital but didn't kill them.

Nothing to do with forgetting that Tezkat's multiple personalities infight, then...

No, I've read your post about five times but aside from Keaton's acknowledgement that Izria has been immobilised (which came later), I couldn't see anything relevant to what my character was doing, so I didn't see a need to have Cross respond to it.

Oh, righto then. I'll make the adjustments - sorry for any inconvenience.

Stygian,

At this stage, I think we're waiting for Cog and Keats to depict what effect our actions have had. That's Salticia's webs, Paige's shield, the arrow that Aisha fired at Izzy, Edge's attack on the Green Goblin's shield, Epyon's attack on the rat Mook, Sheabus' crazed charge on the Guitar Hero, the gunshots from Dani (sure, those are probably bouncing off the shield, but it's nice to at least acknowledge them), Penny's sneaking off, Fal'taq's last set of bolts, ... I think that's most of the current action, but I might have missed some.

It's not exactly what you might call a clear-cut situation. I expect a certain amount of waffling back and forth in time as we try to explain what everyone is doing all at once. *shrug*

[Lushin]

You know the Harpist maybe in alittle bit more trouble than he was in before. That moment he was the maddest he has even been in his life. On top of how annoyed he is now, he may now be willing to kill.
Also I'm gonna wait til Cog posts before I post. I may not survive long enough to feel anything.
I should have said he was a Demon or something. That way he could do something totally cool instead of just chargeing with his sword.

[e_voyager]

indeed that's exactly how i feel and why i'm waiting i have a good ideal where the people are this time and who's trying to do that but i feel frozen in time uncertain as to who succeeds and who gets in who's way. while my pole break the barrier or will it bounce off? that i need to know as it may be enchanted to be incredibly hard  with some flexibility and size change capability(that's how it extends and retract into an 11 inch plow when not in use) but it's not twink edge. it stays a pole and does not become a sword or dagger or gun or anything like that.

[lucas marcone]

Well played, Cog, well played.

[e_voyager]

Well played, Cog, well played.

agreed. very well played and now (that i've caught up with the post that were made some while l was reading this thread) i must consider the best way to figure out whats going through his head. probably something concerning his long lost family

[Tapewolf]

Not to put a damper on it, but I'm kind of lost.  There's a bit too much happening here in the Keaton-Cog posts for me to form a coherent mental image, and indeed I have no idea where Cross is or whether the building he was on or around still exists.  (Or even the street)

To be blunt, some of the descriptions are kind of vague.  From Cog's post I'm assuming that Keaton has actually moved away and isn't just hallucinating, but we have no idea who or what Wilson's weapon is being aimed at.  Has he just destroyed the street and killed three quarters of the players?

So, I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to react to this.  It will take quite a while to digest properly, yet alone come up with a response.  Looking at other people's posts, I don't think I'm alone as everyone who has posted so far seems to have simply ignored most of what's happened 

[e_voyager]

while i'm not certain the direction the weapon is aimed i know it it a line of sight weapon. so it's wither point toes the mainland or out to sea. my guess is out to see. as it this the weasel that was about to  give me a gaping chest cavity i'm guess it's  attack is a circle or sphere  with a one meter radius. judging form the damage i say it was aimed form the ticker  an the only direct  hit was the npc weasel that  and it brushed past almost  everyone else

i made the map click able.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I'd say pretty much everyone has been blown backwards into the walls, and the shot that Wilson fired has cleared the centre of the street fairly effectively - either by vaporising, or by concussive effects.

The Green Goblin is down, knocked out or knocked over. The Guitar Hero is down. The Mooks have all been accounted for - the first by a mage bolt from Fal'taq, the second by club to the head from Epyon, the third by, well, vaporisation. Izzy is locked down, although her cage may well have been fractured by the BFG.

And the fuzz are here, albeit momentarily distracted. I'd say we all should notice Keats making tracks for the alleyway, and do the Bug-Out Boogie after her.


Pity, really. I don't think there's time to loot the Mook corpses...

(Incidentally, Cog, Witt's head is behind some boxes. Which are promptly going to be hit by a couple of mage bolts, and suffer a total existence failure any moment now... I'm not sure Witt will notice, though.)

[e_voyager]

the way i see it the battle has reached a turning point  as well things should calm down soon. after all the wasp girl is webbed into place and the wolf is off the the side tended to by a spider woman. too bad she can't speak. i'm sure her venom would maker excellence anti toxin and poison for dipping the bounty hunters arrows.
