The Kringle


The jolly man's attack had fallen short of it's mark, leaving him open for a counter attack. He was surprisingly nimble enough to dodge the first forward stab to his stomach, but the second slash caught him. The final spin and slam the burly man was able to block with the metal handle of his heavy battle axe.

He took a few steps back, resting the pommel of his weapon on the ground to stand it up. In-between the fresh cut of his coat from Artos' earlier slash the slight glimmer of chain mail could be seen. The armor kept him safe from slash type attacks on his center mass, but the force behind his attack seemed to have bent or broken a few of the rungs. "Hm, what you did is not important. What is important is that I will never forgive you."

The snow seemed to be building up in the area which the two champions of the north were doing battle. It now left a light blanket of snow on the ground, slowly building up as time passed.

With a determined look, the red crusader swung his axe while standing at the ground, uplifting a good portion of the fresh snow into the air. He then let out a mighty billow of air from his mouth, blowing the debris of frost at Artos. The breath spell would create the effect of a blizzard in a short area to obscure vision. Shortly after he began to hurl sharp chunks of ice at Artos while snow displacement still resides upon the area.

After the third throw the icey man suddenly dashed to Artos. He used the cover of the snow to try to surprise him after the earlier barrage of ice. The snow veil let up directly afterwards, seemingly blown away from the burly man's rushdown. Now dangerously close, he swung his axe at an angle at Artos this time.
Am I being attacked by Santa


I have no idea what you're talking about. :^)
@Zelosse

As Artos stared into the flowing river below, the sound of boots hitting the ground followed by a slight jingle could be heard from behind. The air grew chilly, and snow began to fall in the area. Something that probably wouldn't impede Artos by much.

"You... I've tracked you for months now since you began your journey from our homeland." Said a deep voice. "Now that I've caught you there is no escape."

The voice came from a large burly man. He looked over 60 years old and roughly 6'3 with his black winter jackboots on. He had fair skin, with a impressively large snow white beard that covered a good portion of his face. He wore rimless spectacles, and a red stocking cap with a white fur trim and poofy fur ball at the end upon his head. On his torso he was adorned with a large heavy scarlet coat lined with white fur. He wore matching red trousers kept up by a wide belt with a gold buckle. The last striking thing about him was his brown sack attached to his back. It was slung around his right shoulder like a backpack, the strap adorned with golden bells.

The man reached back behind him and into his sack, grasping something with thick black winter gloves. He then pulled forth a large ornate two handed battle axe. The sack was clearly some sort of magic inventory item.

"PREPARE TO TASTE DEATH! AHHHHHHHHH!" The man boomed, letting out an battle cry as he stampeded towards Artos. The outburst could be described as both frightening and oddly jolly at the same time. He wildly flung his head around and around as he charged, causing the fur ball of his stocking cap to swing around like a helicopter or a flail. He only let up his battle cry once he reached Artos' range and swung the long axe at him diagonally with incredible strength.
@Cottonmouth so what's the plan

Just started the post, had to get food though so it set me back.
Nothing complex.
Just a fight scene basically.
I got ya covered.
Aight, got that post out.
Friend wants me to play league for a bit so I'll get something out to you later.
Be prepared for this battle.
Nemo walked through the front door only to be greeted by a longer dark hallway. Two guards were placed at the end of it by a larger steel ship door. Security to get inside was naturally rather tight in a club like this. Nemo casually strode down the hallway, his X shaped spurs jingling on his boots alerted the guards. They didn't recognize him, nor did they get any notice over the radio at the entrance that anybody else was coming in.

The guards went to apprehend him, but were quickly met with resistance. As soon as they moved forward Nemo extended out his bandaged hand. From his palm a transparent ripple like effect traveled through the air, seemingly distorting space itself in an uneven beam that passed through one of the guards legs. After half a second of buffer time the spell seemed to activate, causing a sickening crack like noise to emit out from the guard's leg as it was crushed by the spell.

The first guard fell to the floor, but the second pushed on. Nemo still continued his steady walking pace until the man reached him. The guard made the first move by throwing a magically enhanced punch at Nemo. Nemo easily countered by grabbing the guards arm and using the same distortion spell from earlier. The space up the guard's arm distorted and then emitted another snapping sound to confirm the multiple breaks. Nemo quickly shot off a small concussive blast at the man's head to knock him unconscious and then did the same to the other guard.

Nemo had to admit after all that extra work it felt pretty rewarding to reach the door. He spun the wheel to open it and then stepped inside. The music level increased tenfold as soon as the seal of the door broke. Now finally inside, Nemo seemed rather too impressed by the scene.

"Such provocative decor..." Nemo thought, his eyes wandering to a transparent statue of a man. In sync with the music a neon lightning bolt traveling to the statue lit up, in turn lighting up a neon skeleton within it. The decoration portrayed the effect of a person being comically electrocuted. He then turned to a large buzzing Tesla coil that did the same to two other dummies at another part of the room.
"Rugged music and patrons..." He continued, looking at a group of people moshing together.
"Incredible attention to detail..." He said out-loud this time as he leaned over to one of the tables, noticing a lightning bolt shaped stand that held the table up.
Before Nemo could continue he regained his senses. He was here for something else than to appreciate the scenery.

Nemo used his mana tracking skill to try to pinpoint what he was looking for. If it wasn't for his experience it would of been nearly impossible for him to find the owner amidst all the other mana pools that were in the club. Judging by the security to get in, this was one of those underground invite only type of magic ran establishments. Somewhere magic users could go and not be bothered by causing a ruckus in public.

Nemo followed the "smell" of the bigger mana pools across the club, down a hallway, and into a bigger room. He picked up a snack on a metal tray along the way. The sound of a heavy punch along with a crowd cheering set the scene for this room. It seemed like it was normally the main dance floor and lounge for the club, but right now the dance floor was taken up by a large ring instead.

Inside stood a very tall, almost 7 foot, shirtless tattooed man, and a much smaller in comparison jacketed man with a red mohawk. Mr. Mohawk didn't seem to be having a good day; considering he was currently beaten up and being hefted above the muscular man's head. The Iron Giant let out a feral yell before running to the edge of the ring and throwing him out, sending him crashing into a table.

The crowd went wild, and even Nemo seemed to be amused by the man's peril. Afterwards the man left in the ring flexed his muscles for the crowd and called for a drink. Someone threw him a can of beer which he quickly chugged and then smashed it on his head. Getting his short slicked back black hair wet.

"Is there anyone else?" The man called out with a hearty laugh. "Nobody?" He continued as he waited for a response. The relative silence in crowd put a smirk on his face. "That's what I thought, we're done here." He said before going to walk towards the edge of the ring.

"I'll go next." Nemo called out to the man, causing him to stop before he could make it off the ring. He turned around to him, seeing Nemo standing in the front of the crowd by the ring and let out a laugh.

"Alright, step up kid. But be prepared to get knocked right down." He replied to his proposal.

Nemo gave a grin at his threat as he began to walk up the slightly elevated stage. "I'll keep it in mind." He said. Once inside he pocketed his hands and waited for his opponent.

Nemo's casual stance seemed to anger the larger man. Causing him to quickly rush down the ring with a yell. He spun once reaching Nemo and swung his large fist in a three-sixty roundhouse punch. As he wound up his fist began to glow with energy.

The chop was angled in a way that allowed Nemo to easily sidestep it to the right. The man let out a grunt from the whiff and immediately threw another straight punch at him. Nemo dodged this one to the left and then shuffled himself backwards and away from the man.

"You little shit!" The man yelled at him, frustrated. And then stomped his foot on the ground with a magically enhanced foot. Sending out a magic ripple like shock wave at Nemo. He used a short distance phase teleport to get out of the way, causing the attack to collide with the crowd instead. Nemo seemed to be diverting all his energy to dodging and analyzing his attacker in the beginning.

The man rushed again sending out a flurry of punches, only getting more and more angry as Nemo avoided them. However his final straight punch connected dead onto Nemo's face. The sheer power behind the attack caused Nemo to bend backwards, almost falling over. After a few moments of balancing in between being up and falling down he straightened out his posture.

The big man looked rather confused at Nemo's almost disappointed look on his face after the attack. "There's no love in your violence." He stated, his hands now out of his pockets after the hit. The shirtless man went for another heavy strike at Nemo's face. However this time, Nemo counterattacked. As his punch zeroed in Nemo diverted it off the the side with his left hand then then struck him dead in the face with his right.

The reaction was immediate: The force behind the punch caused his head to whiplash off to the right and back, before his earlier forward momentum caused him to fall face first into the ring. The man wasn't getting back up. The crowd went dead silent, even Nemo didn't seem to say anything. Just staring at the knocked out body of his former opponent. He looked around the room before lifting his arms up from his side and letting them drop down in a "Whoops." kind of gesture.
Gonna get old waitin for this guy.


Since the recruitment things go in order there isn't much we can do for right now.

However I could probably get something out to ya to help you pass the time later tonight.
Could anyone let me know if the red I use when Deston talks hearts their eyes? I'm struggling a little bit picking out a color.


I think the red looks fine on my end.
After arriving in a dark spot of a back alley, Nemo began to wander aimlessly throughout New York. He tried to examine what had changed in the years he spent locked up; which was arguably, not that much from first impressions. However he would eventually find that while people weren't quite in hoverboards yet, the inner works of New York had undergone quite a few changes.

Nemo wasn't lying on the note, after taking a tourist brochure he started to cross things off the list throughout the day-including the art shows and food he mentioned earlier. He used the time to gather as much information as he could. Nemo figured his best bet was eavesdropping on anybody with a significant mana pool. As someone who consumes mana for power, it goes without saying that his manalysis was quite advanced. Even developing the ability to track another person's mana trail like a bloodhound.

It wasn't long until Nemo got a lock onto someone. While ordering a bratwurst from a street vendor he noticed somebody with sizable mana pool. He started to tail the man, using his trail to keep track of him from a distance. After a minute the man abruptly turned into an alleyway, causing Nemo to quickly scarf down the rest of his meal and turn into the alley as well. He sensed the man had come to a stop around the corner. Something that would of alerted most people, but Nemo didn't seem to be worried.

When he turned the corner he was met with a scene even he wasn't expecting: Three men. The Talent from before was joined with two Untalent men wearing half masks and hats. One of them brandishing a cane. As soon as Nemo met the gaze of the party, the Talent set off a spell from the ground that quickly spread throughout the whole alley like a wave. It covered the area in a giant semi-transparent bubble that sealed them off from the public. A type of trap spell often used to hide battles from the common folk.

As soon as the spell completed, the man with the cane began to laugh. He stepped forward with a slow clap before addressing Nemo. "You know, I'm really quite surprised. When I heard you got out I thought you'd be gone for good. And yet here you are, walking right into my sights... Looks like it's my lucky day." The man opened, pulling his mask down afterwards.

It didn't take Nemo long to realize what had happened. The Talent was bait for him to run into a Witch Hunter ambush. Nemo gave a small smirk after the first man spoke. "Well, if it isn't the three stooges. Hold your horses there Moe, I'm not here to cause any trouble with you, I'm just trying to find someone today, Raiya Mamushi." He explained.

"Of course you'd be looking for her wouldn't you? You'd be in good company with that treacherous snake. Headed for the Lightning Capital to cut a deal with her huh? Trying to exchange something for her protection?" The man spat back.

"You're close." Nemo retorted.

"No matter, the only place you're headed for is that cell of yours back in Mamertine. That or maybe I'll send you straight to the creator myself." He said, stomping his cane on the cement. It was at that point Nemo realized this wasn't any regular group of Salem hunters, it was a group of ex-Disciples turned Church members. Their small sect served as a special operations group.

"Oh come on boys, don't be like that. I've got somebody who's gonna be really upset if he finds out I killed anyone today." Nemo pleaded.

"So you can't kill us? That should dull your edge quite a bit." The hunter with the cane said with a smirk as he prepared himself.

Nemo's humored attitude and expression seemed to fade after the cane wielder's last response. "No... no, you see that's not what I said. I said he's gonna be upset if he finds out I killed anybody." Nemo interjected. "If nobody sees it... didn't happen." He finished as his head cocked to the side.




About seven minutes later Nemo walked out from the alley, spinning the hook of the hunter's cane around his hand while humming a tune to himself. He then launched it into a nearby trash bin. Even though it had gotten dark, that conflict wasn't for nothing. His plan worked out in the end. While talking earlier he heard the leader use the term "Lightning Capital" like it was a location. It took a few tries, but eventually somebody was able to point him to a large Asian district when he brought up the term.

Nemo took a train to the district, knowing he was starting to waste valuable time at this point. After exiting the station he finally got to get a good look at the area; that's when he knew he was lost. Nemo didn't know how to read any of the signs besides some random scattered English words, nor did he have any luck speaking to anybody as well. Most people seemed to be ignoring him. On top of that, this district seemed to be quite developed and prosperous compared to the others. While it might be good for the residents, the increase in size was making Nemo's task even harder.

Nemo was beginning to lose hope until he noticed a lot of faint mana trails leading to the center of the district. As he followed them he began to sense large pools of mana in the distance. While all the food of the ethnic markets and street vendor stands were greatly enticing him, he knew he had blown all of his free time that he could. Nemo figured he was on the right track when things seemed to get increasingly more shady as he got closer to the source of the trails.

Soon enough the source finally came into view: A very large stone building with oriental accents and two blue neon signs. One with Japanese symbols for "Raikyo" And the other with larger English lettering for "Lightning Capital" right below it. Besides the two titles were large flashy lightning bolts. Judging from the loud music blaring out from the building Nemo guessed it was some sort of nightclub.

Nemo adjusted his jacket and made his way for the door. However his sense of accomplishment was quickly taken from him when a rock solid hand pushed him back. Nemo's most formidable enemy yet: The Doorman. He stood a good four inches above Nemo, with slicked back black hair, a black t-shirt and earpiece. Clearly not recognizing Nemo the man simply looked down on him.

"Open Sesame?" Nemo stated to him, hoping he'd catch a break.

The Doorman didn't seem to be amused. He extended his hand to turn him away. "Get the hell outta he-" Was the only thing the man was able to get out before Nemo grabbed his arm and pulled him towards him, knocking him off balance. Nemo then swiftly used his strength and free hand to slam the doorman's head into the stone wall and knock him unconscious.

With that taken care of, he was finally able to enter the club. However what he had done so far was sadly only the easy part.
@Cottonmouth

Awesome to hear. I put up my CS and start devising a post. I anticipate having it up later in the evening.

<Snipped quote by Cottonmouth>

One of the more humorous quotes thought up at the time. Should have plenty more eventually.

Sadly I only play on the Xbox 360 and sometimes the Xbox One.


Ah drat, gotta Xbox 360 your life around to a PS3/4 playa.
Though I suppose if the new Gears turns out to be good I might pick up XB1 then. However what I've seen so far hasn't given me a lot of hope personally.

Hey guys, I'm pretty sure I'm on the opposite schedule as everyone else so @Prodigal Son totally has my permission to godmod Deston for right now just to help expedite the process of getting everyone in to IC. It's 2130 over here and I do enjoy my beauty sleep when I've got a long couple days of work ahead of me.


As long as he can make of some sort of response for your character within reason that should work out fine. Afterwards you were gonna be stuck at the cabin a bit by yourself anyways. So it works out pretty good actually.

Judging by your status it sounds like you're in a foreign country, anywhere cool?
