So sorry to the both @Lord of Evil and @TheWindel. Some real life stuff happened. I should be free whenever you guys want to collab (unless my MIA status has torpedoed that idea)

God's Shattering [Concluded]

Tori

Loyalty. The consequences of it are so unfathomable. You can’t trust someone traitorous, but if you’re loyal until death you’re exposed to significant danger at a much higher rate. Sure, Tori could have left and done her own thing. Sure. But then she’d be alone in a sewer she’s unfamiliar with the layout of and is known to be filled with monsters. So sticking with the group is the logical choice and complaining would simply lower morale drastically. Or cause her to be abandoned. Either or.

“Yep. That sure is a lady talking to the slimes. Kill her so we can leave. Boil her insides, flambé her flesh, electrocute her, eviscerate her, whatever. It’s damp, dreary and gross. And zealots don’t negotiate. They have this annoying undying faith thing that they can use to explain away and all argument you make, no matter how much research you conduct that disproves their archaic and frankly backwards belief system! I try so very hard!” Arriving with the rest of the group, albeit at the back, Tori saw no reason to beat around the bush so to speak, but that soon devolved into complaining about the church and not much else

“They even stole my funding when they complained it was blasphemous to carbon date their holy relics! Why are they so worried? That research will destroy the holiness of the rock they have? If they’re right, why can’t I study them? Hey, Holy Goo! Why can't I study your holy relics? What do you have to hide?!”

and on Alex from neutral king to: Moron who doesn't deserves his girl if he doesn't act like a man, fast.

@KoL

I accept this criticism (I'm not sure how to word this without it sounding sarcastic in my head... it's not sarcastic btw just in case I somehow made it seem sarcastic). I do think that I've made Alex into too much of a joke. He's meant to be entertaining, not an imbecile.

He doesn't have to be liked by everyone (I think it's literally impossible to create a universally adored character), but he does need to be a bit more savvy. I will wait one more post before doing the Alex response, regardless. Two post courtesy and all that :)

Alex

Bel was running. Getting away. Scrambling to his feet Alex tried to chase after her before falling flat on his face again, the adrenaline of what he had just done making his legs shake. He had just tackled her. He'd just tackled Bel... Alex personally thought it was a mix of fear and nerves that were making him shake, he'd never been in anything resembling a fight and he'd assaulted Bel! And then there were the other two coming in, one with a roll of duct tape, he wanted to tell them to grab Bel, to stop her, but he couldn’t get the words out and next thing he knew… she was back. She had to be out of it, running in a circle, but the big difference now is her lack of consciousness. Watching the other boy take Bel away, taping and binding her up of all things, Alex got to his feet and yelled.

“Y-you don’t get to just run away from what you did! Hey! Don’t run off with Bel! She’s all messed up! What if she has a concussion or something?!” chasing after Thomas, Alex doesn’t try to actually stop him carrying her, not wanting her to accidentally fall.

“Why’d you tape her up?! She’s already unconscious and where’re you taking her anyway?” his flustered voice attempting to stay on topic and suppress his utter confusion at why Bel had tried to choke the Prez and get him to choke the other girl. If he thought about it he was worried he would simply fall into a stupor or run off with wild thoughts working himself down into a spiral of pessimistic thoughts.

“You’re not one of them perverts that steal girls are you?” Alex wouldn't let this guy out of his sight. He needed to hear from Bel herself what was happening and he was honestly afraid that if this guy escaped with her, he might not see Bel again.

@TheWindel I hear that. Alex will steal Bel's tank. See if that gets a fun reaction out of her! :3

As long as I have a team to play with (or at least fun people to interact with) I'll keep on checking in :)

God's Shattering [Concluded]

Tori

“Not sure if it should be considered a fallacy or not that just because I’m from the intelligence department that I’m supposed to know everything. Shocking, I know, but I have almost zero interest in politics.” Rolling her eyes as she felt the twins treated not knowing a famous person as being some grave sin. Tori readjusted her grip on Nebula and hastened after Ruxen.

“Come now then, if you have a plan to save the slime devoured one go for it, but I don’t. Siena. You lost your arm. Nebula sacrificed some of her mass to make you a new one. Since I’m uncertain as to what Nebula is made of I can’t accurately say, but I hypothesise that it is likely either a power source or some kind of conductive material that allows for more free access to whatever mana, energy or whatever. As for the code whizzing between your ears? Well, it’s either a copy of the instructions given to Nebula regarding her role or maybe some sort of biological code making a program that allows proper use of an artificial arm. Sorry, Sinea, but there is no definitive answer unless you want to be dissected right now or we have a lot more time than we do now.” The rapid pace of her speech left Tori out of breath and frankly needing a drink, but getting out of a sewer seemed for the best.

“Let’s save the questions for later I think. I don’t think I can survive this continue guesswork. Talking and carrying a little girl isn’t the best combination of activities. And besides who they are, I’m more interested in getting out of here and finding a safe place to study. I haven’t had even half a minute to rest. So much to figure out.”

Alex

Nuts, this nuts. No, not just this. Bel’s nuts! Bel is seriously messed up. Why am I listening? Why should I listen? No. No I shouldn’t releasing Retsu, Alex backed off and still gasping for air he looked at Maribel. Really looked at her as she was right now. She was manic, the grin splitting her face in a disturbing way. He wanted to stop her, see the fun person who helped him up when he messed things up. Who stopped his Green King from making him lose a level.

“What’s happening Bel, seriously. You’re acting really weird and you’re choking your friend and wanting me to choke someone else! Why would I do that? Why would you do this?!” clenching his teeth, he really wanted to just run and get help, but… Bel was seriously hurting the Prez. Frowning, Alex looked at Bel with what might be called a glare if you were far away and squinting.

“Bel. I’ve been pretty alone until I met you. I was fine with being alone, my company was enough. Then you were my friend and no matter how brief this has been… I’ve been happy. But if this is what a friend is, someone manipulative and mean, I don’t think I need friends. If I lose you because of this, fine. I’ve been alone before and I’ve been fine with it. I think I can endure it a bit longer” with his attempt at explaining himself over and done with, Alex tackles Bel low and from the side, hoping to tear her off of Shino by either the force of the tackle, lifting her, or breaking her balance.

Boss

Boss watched Chiyo’s master plan unfold, frowning as she listened to her daughter. “Well played Chiyo. Taking out all opposition in one fell swoop. Aiming to establish a new world order in DGO are we? History is repeating itself once more. I can appreciate the strategy of this. It’s sufficiently heartless and brutal, while also striking at what can only be called the opportune moment. Congratulations.” Her brow creased, recalling the last time a tactic such as this was used in her school days and how that bastard had pulled the strings back then.

“I’ll keep my eye on you” the tone of Boss’ voice making it seem as if she wasn’t even talking to Chiyo as it passed her lips the hard tone barely reaching Chiyo’s ears. Finally standing up, Boss left the White guild café and avoided the panicking crowed as best she could, a steely glimmer in her eyes as she headed towards the back-stage area, pulling out her mobile phone to attempt to report this riot. The long arm of the law does have its uses and if she can’t use it for her daughters, who could she use it for?

Kei

_{@Hillan@j8cob@Queentze}

Kei cradled the tea in his hands, heavily lidded eyes as he listened to the mission. An A-Rank? Odd for a newly minted team of Genin. The whims of superiors are truly unknowable, the mission has this level of importance. I suppose this means that they’re relying on Kishimoto and we’re mostly window dressing.

“Well, good thing I have my umbrella, rain village, heh. By bodyguards I assume you mean we’re to be paper tigers, casting an intimidating shadow to be used as a deterrent more than any actual threat. After all, if we’re the bodyguards of a former Hokage, how could we not be powerful?” placing his untouched tea back down, Kei stood and bowed to his new teacher.

“I look forward to learning from you on this trip, sir. Do you wish for any specific provisions for the trip? Are we to appear as a diplomatic delegation with a palanquin? Or wander in as the eclectic group of vagabonds we would appear to be?” with a sigh, Kei twirled his umbrella in his hands, watching the canopy spin like a wheel above his head, coughing softly as he accidentally tastes the stale air of tobacco smoke hitting the back of his throat.

“Oh well. It’s far above my station to worry about things like that, isn’t it? A Genin just has to learn after all.” Shaking his head, Kei walked off and back home to grab some supplies. He really had no idea what to really bring. A whet stone and polishing cloth were there for maintenance as well as a handful of antidotes, ninjas are very tricky with poisons after all, but it’s a bodyguard job. And honestly, none of them are really going to be proper bodyguards, more like three scarecrows going by the mission.

Still, it’s the first mission he’s going on as a Genin and it is still A-Ranked at that, can’t afford to treat it lightly. So after talking with his family, Kei hugged his mother and bowed to his dad before heading off to the front gate, slowly twirling his umbrella, as he walked along with a small bag, a ream of paper and a small stack of explosive tags.

Sorry for going radio silent all. As I'm sure everyone can understand the past week or so has been a bit hectic. I'll try and get a Kei post up soon
