[IC] Welcome Back to the Guild

[Arty Fox]

Kole’s mouth was agape in a silent scream while he pointed at the no longer dead person. The dead person was alive and not dead but the mess was still there. At this point Kole’s mind had petered out, given up, gone out for a stiff drink leaving Kole without a single thought in his mind except from one.

“That’s not supposed to happen.” Kole finally wheezed out the phrase.

His mind slowly creaked and clanked back into action forming more questions than ever before, although most of them were simply the same one over and over again, leaving Kole sitting on the ground feeling very overwhelmed and a little bit seasick.

“Army?” Kole murmured as he looked up to the dragon that had descended upon them making him feeling even queasier. “Defeat? What the heck is going on here?” At this point he simply collapsed onto his back hoping that feeling the hard ground would stop him from feeling as if the world was spinning around him. It didn’t unfortunately.

[Neobullseye]

"Well, 'often' is a big word," Leon nonchalantly answered, completely oblivious to Muse's suspicions. "I think this is the second time this happened now? Well, the first time if you only count falling frmo big heights. Either way, it's pretty useful, to say the least. As you can see, I don't have a scratch on me anymore! Maybe I should carry some kind of weapon on me to kill myself whenever I get hurt, so that I respawn in full health again. What do you think?," he asked Callum.

It was about this point that GM decided to fly down and pay a visit to the people on the ground -- scaring the lot of them in the process. Apparently though, one of said people already knew GM for some reason, something that most sane people would've likely noticed. Leon, however, was not very sane, finding more importance in a random kid that just collapsed from what seemed to be shock.
"Hey... Are you tired?," Leon said, walking over to Kole. "Even if you are, you really shouldn't go to sleep on the ground. It's bound to give you a stiff neck," he said, pointing at his own corpse as if that had anything to do with it, followed by a mad laghter about his own joke. "Either way, it's not my business," he continued, suddenly completely serious again. "Just beware of wolves, or they might wolf you down. Get it! Wolf you down! Ahahahahahah! Sometimes I kill myself. That is, when GM doesn't do it for me, of course," the young man ranted on, switching between crazy and deadpan like a flickering light.

[Rithas]

Callum listened to Leon's rather crazy ramblings. "Oh yeah...Indeed...Well, Maybe not a weapon having to kill yourself every time would be so boring...plus if there's that killed you, it can run away if you just kill yourself. Know what I mean?" Callum tried to ignore the thing he just said was so crazy it was just...crazy. "But it's all up to you..." Callum added as he turned around. Then the Gm came down with his dragon, "Oh...Hi there...." Callum sighed as he looked at the person. Apparently Muse was gathering a army (Who Callum guessed was him and the others) too stop this person."Huh...Okay, very good" Callum was getting quite weary of all this crazy...too much.

Suddenly he heard a soft thud, and as he looked down he saw Kole on the ground. "Uh...Kole?" Callum looked at him for a second, before softly tapping him with his foot. "You okaaay?" Callum tilted his head and gave another sigh. "You just going to lie down.....okay" Callum shrugged as he looked back Leon, who was now rambling about wolves. "Right....." Callum thought for a second and turned to muse.

"Well muse, it seems we may be in a very bad situation, in fact I would say run as fast as you can, but there's kinda a huge dragon so it kinda loses the point...But if you have any ideas....Like I don't know, Teleporting, or...Teaching me those Powers you were talking about.

After that he turned to the GM. "So are you, just going to....or..?" Callum made a strange face and started to talk again. "Because I don't know about you...but this is awkward"

[Kaga]

“Aw, dammit!” Muse muttered as Kole collapsed. He was a little late to catch him, but still tried to prop him up when he got to him, supporting Kole and helping him sit up at least. He seemed a bit more focused on that than answering the various questions popping up, the stress of the situation clearly getting to him as he was left with few answers.

Meanwhile, GM tilted his head at Callum. “Am I going to do what?” he asked. “Kill you?” he chuckled at the notion. “Where would the fun be if I just killed every person I met? I’d get bored if I took out every source of entertainment I met!” he retorted. “Sometimes it’s more enjoyable to just strike fear into people and see what they do; it’s like breaking into a nest of ants just to watch them scramble around in a panic.” he laughed. “Besides, Muse said he was putting together an army to fight me. I wanna see how that’s coming along.”

Hearing those words, Muse spawned an idea. “Yes! I am working on an army!” he spoke up quickly. “They just haven’t gotten the chance to learn their powers yet. But they will! Because I know what powers they all have, and I can help them realize those abilities, because I have no doubt that they’re all more than capable.” he spoke firmly.

“Like you!” he turned around, pointing to Callum. “You have the power to control elements.” he told him. “Like, fire and water and ice and things - all at your command. You have total control, in kind of like an Avatar: The Last Airbender style except cooler.” he spoke matter-of-factly, hoping and praying that Callum would believe him. If a little white lie was all it took to so easily unlock the roleplayers’ capabilities then so be it.

[Rithas]

Callum looked at the Gm with a somewhat annoyed expression, "No I didn't mean killi-nevermind" Callum sighed as he looked towards Muse. "It's like you two are brothers that keep saying they are better" Callum slowly raised his hand to his face and sighed deeply. But as Muse said that Callum had powers to control the elements or whatever, Callum gave a small chuckle. "Rightttt,,,,Like I could do this" Callum smirked as he suddenly thrust his two hands together. Suddenly ice exploded from his hands in a rather complex beam, the air went cold as it smashed into the ground, the air earth cracking and freezing. "Or....That could happen" Callum squinted as he watched the beam.

"Huh....Okay let me see if I can actually do that" Callum remarked as he once again thrust his hands forward, but this time it was a ball of solid ice, which after hitting a rock that not long ago he was sleeping at, started to hurdle back towards the group. "Oh shit!" Callum muttered as it started to come back to them at speed. And for a split second he looked around he realized it could hit anybody, it might even hit the Gm...Since he was right behind Callum and it was mainly going in his direction....And man did he hoped it would hit him. "Duck!" Callum cried as he went to the ground. It was probably going to hit someone. Hopefully not Callum himself

[Animelover_princess]

Rae just got more and more confused as the whole situation progressed.
first the dead guy came back to life but the body was still there. she couldn't look at it, it made her sick.
the guy was walking and talking, but nothing made sense.
then the other guy showed up, him and Muse seemed to have a problem with him.
she was being ignored, thank god, so she forced herself to her feet.
she tried assessing the situation but too much appeared to be going on for her already jumbled mind to make sense of.
the guy, Kole had feinted or something, Callum was talking to the guy who had come down from the sky on the dragon, the guy that had died was still sort of all over the place.
Rae gave up on understanding, she simply watched to see what everyone's next move was.
Then Callum attacked GM, she didn't know how to repsond.

[Arty Fox]

Kole gave a long, dull, monotone groan of utter apathy and defeat as the angle person who was apparently named Muse forced him into a sitting position. Two sides of Kole were fighting vigorously on what he should do. ON one hand he was really, really excited about all this and wanted to find out as much as possible about this place and what was going on but on the other hand an unusually high possibly of death. Especially if the piercing gaze from the other big dragon was anything to go by.

At first Kole was in the same boat of cynicism and disbelief as Callum was about the whole Avatar powers things. The Callum did a thing with ice suddenly falling from his hands. Koles eyes grew wide and his jaws slackened. Maybe that GM person was right about them having powers. Kole leaned forward with hunger for more knowledge.
“So what powers do I-” He was about to finish his question when a large boulder sailed magestically through the air towards GMs face.

[Neobullseye]

Leon was somewhat annoyed at being pretty much ignored by everyone. "Hello? I'm talking to you! Am I invisible or something? ...Well, technically all I'd need to be is inaudible. Maybe I've gone mute without realizing it? No, that doesn't make sense, because I can still hear myself. Then again, I can hear myself think too, and thoughts obviously don't make sounds either..."
Completely lost in his own thoughts and ranting, Leon didn't notice the fact that the conversation was switching towards a more hostile air. Nor did he notice the fact that a large ball of ice was now arcing towards the group -- himself included.

[Kaga]

GM flinched as the block of ice flew at him, spinning around and “catching” it as he held it still in the air in front of him, his hands still far from the ice.

Meanwhile, all Muse could do was stare with his mouth hanging open, amazed that Callum was able to unlock his ability even though the kid acted like he didn’t believe him. Apparently he did on some level, though - enough to send giant blocks of ice hurtling at people. Turning around slowly, he shot Callum a wide-eyed thumbs-up.

“Don’t worry, kid,” GM spoke up to Leon. “I can still hear you just fine.” He then turned around, directing the ice block to a spot in the air a good distance away from the group, and instantly turning it to liquid water as he let it splatter onto the ground. He turned back to look at the group. His previous playful demeanor seemed to be gone - now replaced with a look that carried much more annoyance. How’d he get them to pull this kind of shit so fast? he wondered, glaring at them through the intensely-burning aura around his left eye.

But then his anger subsided. He allowed Basilix to vanish, dropping to the ground as he landed in front of them. His eyes then landed on Rae, one of the few females in the group and a quiet one at that. He quickly strode over to her. “So, what are your powers, then?” he asked, his smirk back - albeit a bit more twisted this time.

Muse tensed as GM got so up-close-and-personal with the group. “You leave her alone.” he growled.

“Oh, bite me.” GM rolled his eyes. “Don’t be shy!” he said to Rae. “I wanna know aaaall about what Muse’s been teaching you.”

[booksmusicanime]

Books stood silently at the edge of the group. She hadn't been noticed or talked to for a while which was fine with the blonde haired girl. Her blue eyes were locked on GM hoping and praying he wouldn't see her. She didn't want to be noticed by that man. He was freaking her out just a little bit. Her hands tightened into fist then loosened and kept repeating that same motion for several minutes.

[Rithas]

Callum arched his head backwards in an annoyed way. "Your not dead Leon, isn't that nice?" Callum added to the rather awkward moment after the Ice ball kinda nearly maybe hit the gm. He examined the person....or thing? He wasn't sure what the GM was. But whatever he was Callum was examining his face carefully. "Well Muse...We may have pissed him off" Callum commented as he glanced around. Callum wondered how the others were feeling, he could of swore he heard Kole say something before the Ice ball sailed across.

Callum peered at Leon with inquisitive intent "What happened to you?" Callum mumbled to himself as he didn't notice when The Dragon or Ballix or whatever disappeared. "Huh?" Callum turned his head to see the Gm walking towards Rae. "Oh..." Callum watched as the GM started to somewhat question Rae about her powers. "This can't be good"

[Animelover_princess]

Rae panicked when he approached her and asked her about her powers, she forced her heart to calm down "i don't know what your talking about"
Muse sounded angry when he told the man to leave her alone, however GM spoke to her anyway, telling her not to be shy and wanting to know what Muse had taught her "Nothing, i only met Muse a few minutes before now," she took a deep breath and stepped back away from GM, but she tripped and landed flat on her -ss, letting out a tiny curse she looked back up at GM "I have nothing to tell you" she bit her tongue before she spit out 'now leave me alone' as she had a feeling the guy would not take kindly to it.

[Neobullseye]

"Yes, I agree... uhm... person!" Leon answered the ice-shooting boy, is tone cheerful due to the fact that people could hear him after all. "Just don't point that stuff at anyone else, okay? I mean, I don't know if anyone else can respawn, but it's best not to try it out, right?" After having said that, Leon turned away from Callum and looked around, not noticing the latter wondering about what had just happened to him.
While GM was turning his attention towards one of the girls, drawing the attention of most of the rest of the group in the process, Leon spotted a blonde-haired girl with blue eyes who was apparently trying her best not to get involved -- something at which she was not quite successful, obviously enough.
"Well, hello there!," the not quite sane man called out. "Why are you standing all the way back like that? Come on, get over here, no need to be shy!" With that, Leon tried to take hold of Books' hands in an attempt to drag her closer to the group.

[booksmusicanime]

Books tensed up. She yanked her hands from the mans grasp. Her blue eyes were wide in fear but she wouldn't let it show on her face. "Back off." She snapped at him softly. "I will slap you if I have to." She said quietly.

[Kaga]

GM smirked as Rae stumbled backwards and tripped in response to his approach. Apparently she was just as confused as scared as he’d expect someone who only just appeared here to be. “Some army.” he muttered. “I knew that ice trick was just a fluke.”

Muse wanted to keep an eye on GM, but he seemed like he was too entertained to do any random killing… He didn’t want to provoke the man further. In the meantime, he instead turned to Leon, attempting to stand between him and Books. “You.” he spoke sternly. “Who are you? What are you? And why are you working for GM?” he asked. GM was enough of an enigma on his own - he didn’t need a bunch of mysterious henchmen popping up. He knew GM could create dragons, wolves and all sorts of monsters, but the thought he could create intelligent* life was rather unsettling.

*Well… you know.

[nautilusmp]

With the big bad literally descending to the place the party was at during the moments when he was injured and couldn't move for more than two yards before anyone possessing evil intentions could easily catch him, Nautilus couldn't have wished for a worse situation. What he once denounced as a power struggle inside the Guild was turning out to be the actual case. The situation had been reduced to two Guildlings and several tools, with him unfortunately as a currently non-functioning tool, to say the least.

Now that Callum had opened an attack on the opposite side of the struggle, he knew that this one was going to escalate and he expected everyone else to reach the same conclusion. Since the last open confrontation ended up with the destruction of a whole setting, which he experienced in first-person, he couldn't get rid of the thoughts that the same thing would repeat. With him unable to quickly move out of the scene, he had now been saying his prayers and trying to ensure that he got his last words were a Muslim's declaration of faith.

[Rithas]

Callum had given it a good minute, so far no one had been brutally murdered, which was a very good thing to say the least. But it did make him slightly annoyed that everyone seemed to be pansies. Oh come on! I've only been here five minutes and i'm the only who can do this?...well, that can't be true. Hmm. Wondering if maybe he should also act like a wuss, seeing as the gm could summon a dragon like that...no. To be honest, Callum was still excited/bewildered by the fact that he had powers. If the situation was a tiny bit different Callum would be asking muse one question, but then Callum asked himself a question. Why not ask him the question? Even if Muse was talking to Leon, who was crazy. But, Normal. Which was weird. He tapped Muse on the shoulder. With the GM distracted by Rae, who was doing her best to show the GM how crap human's were.

"Um, Muse...quick question, what....else? I mean, can I do more stuff then that?" He asked him with a rather nervous look. he then turned his head to the GM, "A fluke doesn't happen twice" He muttered quietly, He kinda hoped the GM didn't hear it. He did notice the person that he swore was the person who was injured, and...well he was still injured but still, He kinda wished he was okay.

So he waited for muse to respond, or for something else to happen...Hopefully good

[Neobullseye]

"Now, that's not very nice, now is it," Leon muttered at Books' response to his actions. "I didn't hurt you either, now did I? So why are you acting to me like that? I really don't like it when people act like that, you know? I really don't like it... " The strange cheery tone in Leon's voice was replaced with a far more serious, almost sinister sounding one. "I don't like it at all..."

Before anything else could really happen, however, the pack leader of the Players was standing in between Leon and Books, asking the former about who and/or what he was. "Me? I'm Leon," he answered. "I guess you could sort of call me GM's lion. Rawr!" As if to mark his words, Leon made a clawing/scratching gesture with his right hand. "As for why, GM and I sort of had a deal. As long as I worked for him, he wouldn't harm Rose. He's even keeping her safe, making sure she's not getting hurt by something else." For a moment, a rueful expression appeared on Leon's face, only to be quickly replaced by the same crazy smile.
"So, who are you all?," the disturbed man continued, adressing both Muse and the party in general. "I mean, I've been nice enough to introduce myself now. It's only normal that you'd do the same. Right, GM?," he looked over his shoulder, then turned back to the duo standing in front of him. "Let's start with you, miss blue-eyes. What's your name?"

[booksmusicanime]

"Like I would every say." Books said her eyes narrowing. She was terrified beyond belief by Leon and didn't want him to know her name, even if it wasn't what she was called outside of the guild. Here it was the only thing she had to keep a secret for psychos like Leon and GM. Her hands curled into fist without her realizing. She was ready for a fight despite that she was scared. I'm not a fighter! I'm a pasafist but I'll take Leon on if I have to. Books thought to herself

[Arty Fox]

Kole tensed when the giant dragon vanished from existence and he expected the man to fall heavily to the ground, but once again he was to be surprised and shocked as instead the man simply landed without a sound or even any indication of the great height. Kole did not like or trust this man and edged further away as he approached the group with a look of heartless hunger in his eyes. From Muses reaction Kole decided that he might’ve made a very good decision not to like that GM. Not that he knew Muse any better having just met him but unlike GM Muse seemed to be a lot nicer and much better company to be around.

Although Kole was also very curious about the powers he and the others had and a small part of him as slightly disappointed to see the girl not reply or try to do anything ‘super-powery’. Was it just Callum who had powers at the moment? It didn’t look too hard so maybe they got powers when they arrived? Kole didn’t think that Callum had been born with powers because for one no other reports of such powers had emerged before nor was such a thing actually possible. Which would leave the idea of this place causing them to mutate in some way of the only possible conclusion.

As the others talked in agitated tones around him Kole examined his right hand turning it over and flexing his fingers. Kole needed answers and from the looks of it didn’t seem like Muse was going to be able to give him any at the moment with all his attention dedicated to keeping this GM from asking questions about them. Overall Kole found it a very silly and counterproductive thing to do seeing as GM could help them unlock any powers they might have.

“How do our powers work?” Kole leapt up from the ground, trying to repress his unease at the new comers with action and moved closer to GM. “I’m guessing that there unique to each person seeing as Muse can shapeshift, Callum can throw ice and you can…” Kole pointed towards Leon and trying not to look at the crumbled corpse. “Can do that respawning thing. And of course you can summon a Giant Dragon.” Kole stopped just short of the GM hopping he didn’t look as nervous as he felt with his heart pounding hard and mind screaming at him to bolt. But the idea of answers and information had piqued his curiosity considerably. “So, seeing as you got Callum to use his powers after just meeting him, do you know how the rest of us can unlock our powers?”
