Taylor Sinclair

Watching the Behemoth crash to earth, Taylor mouthed the words "Timber~" with a comfortable grin on her face. Her humour was short lived though as she heard the cackling of some nay sayer complaining about Scarlet's skeletal appearance, calling Taylor a necromancer of all things!

"Necromancer? What blind fool said that? Are you by any chance an alien? Spirits exist and can look like fucking dragons! Are you seriously that shocked by a skeleton? And so what if I was?! Were you going to kill the Behemoth? Were you going to try and kill that giant? Maybe if enough of you got turned to paste beneath its feet it would slip and crack its head open on an orphanage or a church! How pleasued you would be then. Dying to kill the monster..." Scarlet smirking with her skeleton face tossed Taylor her blade back before shaking her head as Taylor's rant continued

"People died to the Behemoth. People die every day. You see a dead begger and think 'Well that was his lot in life' or if an earthquake rocks the city, but when a Dissonance it is somehow different? Can you tell the future? I sure as hell can't. I had no idea a Behemoth would spawn in town. I reacted as soon as I could though. The beast is dead and I'm happy in the fact that I did everything I damn well could. Life is fragile. Death is simple. Celebrate while you can" with that, Taylor sheathed her blade, did a synchronised bow with Scarlet and left the way they came, heading towards the Arena.

Send a cookie Taylor's way @Rakurai, she didn't see the baby XP. She went "Shit, a Behemoth over there. Better stab it before it kills someone"

P.S. Crescendo represent!

@Rakurai Scarlet's no dark lord's servant. She's the Dark Lord of fun times and alcohol :3

Taylor Sinclair

Taylor was not happy. Well to be more accurate she was livid. First of all Scarlet had woken her up at the ungodly hour of before noon and second she took her reward for herself once the tournament was done. Now, to make things worse she could see the head of a Behemoth peeking over the tops of buildings. How the hell did that thing even show up here?! No breakfast, no drink and now she was going to have to kill a Dissonance.

"C'mon Scar. We better go do our duty... damn, I may need a bit more 'courage' to face this thing" taking out her trumpet and unsheathing her blade she tossed the sword to Scarlet

"You go stabby and I'll play a nice backing theme to the tune of burning the hell out of it." chuckling Scarlet caught the blade and swished it about flamboyantly

"This will make a nice warm up for the tournament... well I'm always hot so I guess I won't need to warm up much will I? You though, Tay? Well... you have the style, but you could certainly use the practice~♪" Scarlet led the way through the streets, the fleeing crowd halting in their steps when a Skeleton with a sword was walking towards them. Stopping for a second in front of the sea of people and tilted her head and would have probably raised an eyebrow if she had any. Pointing the blade at the group gesturing to the left and then the right. The crowd, getting the idea, parted like the red sea for the sword wielding skeleton lady.

"Hey! Don't you talk to me about practice. I practice every single day! I don't even slack off either." followed in Scarlet's wake before they arrived at the clearing where the Behemoth was. Turns out they weren't the first on the scene but...

"What the hell?! Why the hell is everyone just staring at the giant ass Dissonance as if it's a vaguely interesting statue?! It's a monster people! Attack the bastard while it's still figuring out what the hell's going on!" bringing the trumpet to her lips as Scarlet dashed at the giant and threw the falchion high, Taylor began playing, the blade twirling in the air and igniting with an unnatural black flame. Scarlet using the Dissonance as a springboard caught the sword above the creature and with gravity as her co-pilot, rode the natural force back down to the ground as she cut across the Dissonance's chest from left shoulder to right waist, Taylor's black flame lingering on the wound preventing it from healing any time soon. With a twirl of the blade Scarlet looked around

"Hey, Tay? After this, lets go get some new clothes for the tournament. I want some new boots." making a casual swing with her blade, Scarlet cleaves at where what would be the Dissonance's achilies tendon... if it has one

"Huh? Sure no problem. I need some more makeup anyway. You have the cash? You do remember how expensive that bottle was right?" played a little more to make sure the wounds of the creature wouldn't burn out, although the sins of the creature seemed enough to give it plentiful fuel.

"I'm a Spirit, Tay. What in the world makes you think I have cash of any description? tugged the blade free from the Dissonance's heel and lightly skipped back to Taylor's side

@Rakurai Heh, if Dark=Angsty Taylor is the worst Dark Element person ever. Too happy :3

Earth is tough, it is easy to see the appeal. If you're fighting a battle you have to stand on the Earth and it is harder to fight if the Earth is also trying to kill you. But yeah, that is an interesting imbalance :P

Taylor Sinclair

Out the back behind a fairly well regarded inn, a red headed girl in a pinstriped suit was slumped awkwardly on the ground. From another it would appear as if she was sitting on top of the crate, but gravity proved otherwise and she held a bottle close, full of amber liquid with a prestigious label emblazoned on it, as if it was a teddy bear. Looming over her, a skeletal woman with an eyepatch lightly kicked at the snoozing drunkard's legs.

"Wake up, TayTay. I know you and your good friend Jack Daniels and Johnny Walker had good fun last night, but it's about as late as we can wait without being late to the tournament. Besides, I want some!" reaching down with her bony hand Scarlet snatched up the bottle when the girl on the ground as quick as lightning woke up and lunged for the escaping bottle.

"Nooooo! Scarlet! Give it back! I paid for it! I had to stop two towns away, give up accomodation and leg it all the way here to afford that! That's good stuff and is going to be my post tournament celebration!"

"So you're gonna win then?" the bony hands deftly examining the botte, nodding in approval at her friend's taste. Taylor hadn't been much of a drinker before meeting up with Scarlet, but now she had a cast iron liver and could last longer than a seasoned soldier. Still had that daft idea of out drinking a skeleton though. Fiddling with the lid Scarlet almost laughed at Taylor's face of panic as she reached up from the ground and couldn't resist poking her cheek covered in white makeup that was seemingly permanent since she had never seen Taylor without it.

"When did I say win, Scar? I just said post tournament! What the hell does winning matter anyway? Teach just wants me and you to show off a bit~" a whining tone entered Taylor's voice as Scarlet's boot poked her face "Just give it back Scar! Oi! Wait! Where you going?!" scrambling to her feet and scooping up her sheathed falchion and trumpet case Taylor watched as Scarlet tossed the bottle in the air, caught it in her sombrero before putting it back on jauntily and swaggared away. Where the hell does a skeleton get such a swagger from anyway?

"The Arena numbskull. I told you we'd be late if you kept snoozing" Scarlet for her part took out a hip flask and poured it down her non existant throat, amber liquid visible as it went down, before igniting into a ball for fire inside her rib cage and the gas flowing up into her skull before vanishing just behind her eyes "If you win, you get the expensive booze~"

"Damnit Scar! I paid for it with my money!" blade on her hip and trumpet case in hand, Taylor glared up with her white and blue eyes at the one black and gold eye of Scarlet. Cursing under her breath Taylor snatched Scarlet's hip flask and took three quick swigs

"One for courage, one for luck and one because up yours Scar, I want my expensive stuff back!" coughing as if she was about to give up a lung Taylor took a deep breath and a whew~ noise escaped her as the skeleton and mariachi made their way towards the tournament ground

The Bar is Taylor's home. Trying to out drink her skeletal spirit that can't get drunk :P

Alex

Watching the rest of the group login one by one... with no fear no hesitation even after the warnings, Alex was frankly astounded. After thinking about it for some more, Alex sighed and looked at the others lying there, thinking nothing would get done by him standing around twiddling his thumbs.

Moving to a more private corner of the room Alex lied down and logged in...

Welcome Back Unrelenting Jukebox, Congratulations~!

Congratulations? The odd addition of the welcome screen stewed in Jukebox's head as he spawned in the Green Guild base, presumably due to the glitched forced log out resetting his spawn point. Next thing he knew a little alert popped up notifying him that he levelled up. Sweet, that Dungeon Dive didn't amount to nothing. Checking the level Jukebox had to rub his eyes even though it did literally nothing, he was in DGO, it’s pretty realistic, but rubbing your eyes doesn’t do much for the HUD.

Level 5... that’s a glitch right? Is talking to a ghost of a classmate stuck in a game and wigging out a dungeon to basically turn on no-clip mode and have objects slide through your body worth that much EXP? Was it Level 5 that gave you the next Avatar ability?

Well whatever, he had places to be and monsters to shoot... and try and stop someone from being shot... goddamnit what is he trying to save a villain like her? Running to the garage, Jukebox borrowed the fastest looking car in the garage and with a roar of the engine her tore through the streets, on his way to Black City Soundtrack of Life seeming to know more than he did

Black City

Riding along music tearing it up, Jukebox stuck he head out the window as more and more Dissolutions plastered themselves to the windscreen. Barrelling though the city the green car was almost completely black now. Crashing through a few walls Jukebox had no idea where he was but his car was comically half sticking out of the second floor of some building. Dropping out of the window, Jukebox landed nearby two players, standing up and dusting himself off he looked around and saw... Dovev and Corpse Collector.

“Weeeellll shit. This is awkward isn’t it? See, he wants you dead Lady CC, but I’d like to know if you have anything to do with or can do anything about the apparent coma bug. I was hoping to run into you before him, but no plan ever comes together right?”



"Soundtrack of Life with impeccable timing as always. Gotta love joke powers, am I right?
