@Mokley That gryphon might become my new favorite NPC. XD

Awesome, looking forwards to introducing my character in character.

Excerpt: This marks the final straw! Father's business has been shut down by the government. Why? Because of "concerns with safety of your devices" they said. Nonsense! Our projects are state of the art! It has to be the works of Venitech. Those bastards have got to have the right people in their pocket. They're the only ones still in business after this. There's nothing we can do about it! Nothing! I hate this. This is all their fault. I have to do something.

DAMN IT! I know Father didn't want me to do this, but I'm finished with them. Father, if you ever see this, I'm sorry.

FINAL JUDGEMENT
To Be Condemned to the Stone

Well that ended up being more than I expect for writing. I'm not exactly feeling the greatest (seasonal allergies came early) so I may have messed up something somewhere... please call me out on it if you do notice something.

"Vincent, we need get moving to the others. I've no idea what that Grit just did, but it doesn't sound like we're going to enjoy it."

As much as Vincent wanted to sit around and chat with the voice on the other side of the robot, Kat had a point. They couldn't exactly stick around with the howling and whatnot. He bobbed his head slowly in agreement as she removed the head of the robot. "Alright."

"This thing has a small powerpack in its head, it's so it can be transferred to more specialised surgical bodies if needed without shutting down." She explained. "Won't last long without being reattached to another body, maybe ten minutes- so I would avoid being too chatty."

She flashed a grin, adrenaline pumping through her as she handed Vincent the head.

"Now let's go!"

The head had a bit of heft to it, but outside of that that it clearly was meant to be carried from the design it had. Probably exactly for the same reasons as Kat explained. He smiled back. "Good to see a smile on that lovely face of yours." He knew it wasn't really appropriate to flirt at a time like this, but instinct and habit kicked in. He was so used to flirting with women that he couldn't help himself. @MsChimeric

He followed her down the stairs and saw the Grit boy run off and hop over and across cafeteria tables.

< Oh it's such a relief to hear a human voice, > the queen's voice said through a speaker in the robot head. < I hear a commotion, are you under attack? What sector of the Wall are you in? I can send you an escort. >

Vincent opened his mouth to respond, but the Grit came to a locked door it let loose another howl which the others outside responded to. That thing was an enemy, but was the Queen actually a friend? He didn't trust her especially since this particular incident. "How exactly do you expect to protect us with most of the city's population turned to stone and the city overrun with the very enemy you strove so hard to keep out? Can you afford to spare the men to escort us from the Wall to wherever you are? I bet this entire incident is your fault anyways."

Vincent let his frustration decide his actions; something that he didn't do too often, but considering the circumstances he didn't care enough. He didn't trust the Queen. The only thing she knew how to do was hide from the Grit and even then she failed. Out of fear, she had prisoners build the Wall up as high as possible and then even higher. Now they were within the Wall as if it weren't even an obstacle. This was her failure. If they had fought the Grit instead of hiding from them perhaps the story would be different.

Then he began to form an idea in his head. Kill all the Grit. They were the enemy after all. He had the power of magic and technology on his side. With the two of them together the possibilities were infinite. He had seen the Grit's symbol and the power it possessed to consume souls. If he could modify that perhaps he could make it even better. He knew only the basics of magic, but now more than ever before did he want to master it.

He glanced over at the roughed up group of people. He had to make sure they lived. He pulled his pen out of his special container that Father had made for it and stepped over to Moth whom seemed to take the most severe of injuries. The gash was pretty nasty on his forearm. "Hey let me see that arm. I can stop the bleeding and then we should get out of here." He put the robot head on the floor and glanced over towards where the Grit went. "Better not chase after a cornered animal." He then looked back at Moth and prepared to write his Sigil over the wound with the stylus that Father made him.

He looked the man right in the eye. "I can draw a Sigil that can stop the bleeding on your arm, but I have to draw it over your wound or it won't work. That means it'll hurt, but once I'm done the bleeding will stop until tomorrow. Hopefully by then we'll have the time and space to properly fix it up." Vincent personally felt that this man wasn't fit to survive in this new cruel world, but perhaps he would be surprised. @Dud

Gonna drop this by because I love the @Mokley Special of RPs :D

I hear things are quiet... when they should be *ahem* unquiet... hopefully I can rattle things up with this character. :D

@Mokley One small hiccup in your post... Kat shoved the robot head into Vincent's arms. And he's going to accept it.

Lantern

Anise didn't have time to even think about being surprised at herself for the force of energy she pulled out from within. She noticed the lanterns flare off in this distance and nearly was blinded by the brightness of her own. As she reached out towards the Witch she recognized that something was blocking the Lantern's power off. The sensation while unpleasant was something she had somewhat expected from someone as powerful as a witch. Worse off, her speech had no positive effect.

"The Lady of the Pond is an ally of the Lord of Shadow," the Witch shouted factually. "The Dragon is a trickster and a demon. You are in no way the Lady of Light, who died centuries ago and can never return. You're a silly girl who's been at the wrong end of a bad joke for too long."

Anise shook her head and raised the now-glowing symbol on her hand towards the Witch. "No, I fr-"

She was interrupted when the Witch made another branch smack the mask off of her face causing it to go flying and then wrapped itself around her throat.

"I'm sorry," the Witch sighed, no less determined. "You've been brainwashed so badly by now that it's too dangerous to let you live."

She struggled as the air began to leave her. Was this it? After all she had been through? This was her end? She didn't want to accept it. She refused to believe that she was going to die here. Suddenly she was dropped onto a lower branch and when she looked to see what was going on, she saw Peck had taken the Witch down.

"Hurry and get out of here!" he roared up at her.

She nodded once and glanced up at the White Lantern. She had a feeling that this would be her only chance to retrieve this Lantern. She refused to let another one just within her grasp escape her. She reached out with the Lantern towards the branches of the tree. Please, bring me back to the level where the Lantern is. If they didn't respond, she would climb up as quickly as she could.

She reached for the White Lantern with the assistance of the Blue Lantern in order to see if together they could open the fissure enough for her to grab the White Lantern. When she did, she slammed the side of the Lantern into the metal of the tree trunk in order to weaken the bonds of the Dragon's Egg so they could work in tandem to free each other completely. Her heart pounded with excitement and anticipation.

You could have him freeze or something like being completely unsure what to do. I dunno, just a suggestion. @Eodwyn Aether

Lantern

@Wishful Stray I really like your character already. Look forwards to see more. :D

@Mokley It puts a smile on my face to see the Violet Lantern back in play. (I was wondering where it went)
