Kokotha: Old Magic, New World

Gregor

@Ember Storm

trying to find what to say next. He had a few options here. With a quick burst of magic he could stun everyone in this room and make a run for it, but that'll result in a chase. He could talk his way out of it, but he would likely not be able to convince the guard to the back room that he was a VIP even with the crowd. He needed a distraction.

@MercuryNH@hefewy
"Who the hell do you think you guys are?!" The inebriated guard shouted, getting angrier. Daud ignoring him, Mercury not giving him what he wants despite his flirting. These two didn't know who they were messing with. Gustrag! Permission to ice these two! He shouted to his boss, who was still glaring holes into Gregor's head from behind his mask.

In time. I don't know what you 4 were planning, but it appears you fell short. This is my world. This gala. This manor. As Gustrag continued, his voice got more and more furious, nearly crushing his glass in hand. People watched with anticipation, whispers went through the crowd, a few of them even taking bets on what was going to happen next, If any of you even think about ruining this event further, I'm going to put you through a meat grinder and feed you to the guard dogs, understand! Now come with me!

Gregor paused, thinking of his next move, then quickly, he thought of it. It wasn't much, but there were a whole lot of criminals here and it was worth the gamble. Alright. But they are just bodyguards. I'm different though and it isn't just me. Throughout this room are spies. Spies for the Kokothan Special Forces, and you are all under arrest!

The results of his bluff were unseen at first, people scoffing, shaking their heads. Until one member of the party drew his pistol, pointing it at another party member. I knew it was you! I knew I couldn't trust you!

Cowardly Drekka! Pointing a gun on me when I have none! The "spy" shouted, a ball of fire appearing in his hand.

"The Drekka are cowards!?" came another voice, We'll show you!

Before long, the party slowly descended into more yelling, more people drawing weapons on each other. The guards beginning to take out their weapons only have have weapons pulled on them. No fire fights were happening just yet, but with just one sentence, the room had went from people accusing others of beig spies, to becoming a standoff between numerous criminal factions. The whole time, Gregor had a wide smile on his face. You three! He shouted Close your eyes and look away!

Yoshimi

@Blizzardofoz123
Yoshimi quickly reacted. She had seen these bombs before, it had been used by the Lucerne guy on the train. It seemed that the Children weren't so keen on giving out information. On it! She said as she dashed for cover, getting behind Kordan.

Putting her hand against the wall of ice to help stablize it. She braced herself, as the blast went off, heavily damaging the wall and causing it to cave in and shatter in several places. But, with the help of Yoshimi and Kordan, they were both safe. Damn Children! This is the second time this has happened! Next time, let's check their chests for explosives!

She said, as she looked to the man Astrid had killed earlier. Let's check him, he might have one we could use.

@Ember Storm@Nashie
With that, the room was coated in a bright burst of flames, incinerating the guards. Due to their magic based nature, their explosives didn't seem to go off; that or they didn't have them.

With the room now cleared, it could be inspected. Looked to be a operation room or some sort of medical study. In the center of the room was a table and on the walls were medical diagrams. Lockers and filing cabinets were in one corner of the room, hopefully not damaged by the fire.

Gossick

The price seemed to be reasonable for them. For people who had access to it like through an extractor, it wasn't too hard to get; the only trouble was acquiring the rune batteries and the extractor itself. The liquid one seemed to be more expensive than the others, while the bag of sandy material seemed to be the cheapest of the bunch. How different? Gossick asked, looking curious. Barging into his conversation with Jenso, Gossick answered his questions for him It depends on the current property of the Yim in question and what a Caster or Rune Machine does with it. Pure magic though, it can be quite malleable under pressure, while in a vacuum... Gossick paused, biting his lip I haven't tested it...

The Mysteries of Isz: A Kokotha RP

@Yomojo
That night, Wingate spent her night as she usually did. She too had gone through the same enchantment that the ancient culture instilled in Lucille. Many thoughts and questions went through her mind as she was in the bath. Who was this fogotten hero "An'Kan?" Why would such a tomb be made for him or her if they were forgotten and unspoken like this? Would Lucille's predictions of a secret passage way come to light; after all, it wasn't unheard of for the Isz to build secret entrances in their tombs or temples.

No matter, she had to get a good night sleep. She didn't want to look tired for tomorrow and had to be running on all gears.

---

The next morning she headed on out of her flat. She lived a humble life, despite her reputation in the archeology and caster community. A small, out of the way flat in New Wickborough. Oh how she would love to live in one of those large manors that all the rich and famous have, but she didn't want to draw too much attention to herself. Her outfit was different to her usual outfit. A pair of cargo pants, a button up shirt, and a hat more suited for the hot sun. She was going to a tomb after all.

Greetings~ She said, standing at the stoop of her flat, as she saw the car parked out.

@Yomojo
In that case, I will see myself out. She said with a nod, ready to head on out and prepare for tomorrow. She did not know what to expect from tomorrow, but as long as everything went smoothly, she had no problem with it. I'll be sure to prepare as well. I hope you too will dress for the occasion.

The relic in question was a small device, resembling an astrolabe. The rune seems to be missing. If it had one that was. There is some text here. Pausing, she took a moment to translate them, [8882be]Well, it's a astrolabe. The next on here are different directions. It must've been used for mapping out stars and for traveling. A tool of our "Forgotten Hero" perhaps?[/color]

Setting the relic down, she hummed, looking puzzled. If you all don't have the rune, it must've been taken out a long time ago. My other theory that it never had one to begin with. Either way, this astrolabe is unusable with its age. Regardless, I am looking forward to unraveling this tomorrow, my dear~ When it came to researching the culture of Isz, every single temple, tomb, and keep was like unraveling a mystery. Every one of them had their own story.

Quinn

@Yomojo@tex@Afro Samurai
"Grapevine? Better hurry. It gets especially crowded around this time. Don't wanna walk in and find out that there are no seats or all the drink has run dry." Quinn said, fiddling with his artificial arm, one of the fingers getting stuck. Unlike the smooth, painted, and shiny prosthetic that many U.M members in the west used, his arm looked more simple and rustic, even with some exposed pistons.

Anyways, how am I doing? Well, pally, I'll tell ya. I had a bad job and got roughed up, but you should see the other guy, some Drekka cleaner probably wants me dead, and my next payment is delayed. I'm doing fine. He said, all with a smile, apparently taking his problems with stride, or at the least putting up a front.

Hey hey! Lucille! Came a rather jolly voice, contrasting with Tetu's tension. On the sidewalk, a very familiar clanking sound was weird. Making his way over to the group of three, was a young man. Clad in suspenders and his trusty cap, it was none other than the cocky delivery boy of the White Teeth, Quinn.

His most distinguishing features being his artificial legs and left arm. Magic based prosthetic, which moved as well as any leg made of flesh and bone. Thanks to the Universal Machines and the Kokothan Government's progress, losing a limb wasn't much of a problem anymore, if you had the money to replace it and the magic or rune batteries to fuel it.

This how you make friends, lately? he said, noticing the punch to Tetu, not quite acknowledging the cat; having not heard it speak, to him it was but an ordinary cat. Man looked to be a foreigner. With all the immigration booms, new faces were far too often in the city. Don't go hitting strangers, girl. He said, with a smirk, crossing his arms. Looking around, noticing the crowd that had gathered from Nino's outburst. What're you all standing around eyeballing at? Skedaddle on out of here!

I suppose disrespecting the dead comes with the job of delving into archeology. In our defense, the race of Isz isn't around to complain, are they? Plus the knowledge is worth it. She said, going over to the table to view the photographs. Hmmm... Did you find a skull? The Isz are said to have believed the skull was the most important part of them. So they ground down the bones of the dead into dust. All but the skull. Looking over the the relic mentioned, she asked Lucille. May I see that relic?

Despite having a cinema just a short walk from her house, she never got into watching movies. The radio was where it was at for her. Maybe one day she'd get into those films that were starting to become all the rage nowadays.

That was a whole lot of stuff. What would this man want with Preserved amalgamate flesh? Something like that was hard to get especially when amalgamates turned back into humans when they died. As for the other things though. I have rune batteries. What type do you desire? He said, going behind the counter. He put up a few objects. A small vial of liquid, a small grey bag of grainy material, and a cylindrical object that could fit in your palm. It depends on what you're making. Rune Machines are all the rage here on the east coast. They sell well.

@Jensoman
@tex
"It's going to pull Yim into our world using runes and magical batteries."

To this, Gossick answered, If you're looking to make a Extractor, I have an old one lying around. If you want to look for one of your own, that might be quite expensive to make. He said, adjusting his glasses. Although, from the looks of it, you already have things planned out.

@tex
Pedestrian? Are you looking for something combat oriented? Gossick said outload, not quite picking up on Mikey trying to be subtle with his words. If combat is what you're looking for, I'm wondering what you're using it for.
After all, he couldn't just sell to a shady looking person planning doing some unkind things in the streets of New Wickborough. While Gossick wasn't exactly a legal tender of weapons, out here in the poorer districts, it didn't quite matter.

@Jensoman
Now turning his attention to the other man, Gossick motioned over to a rack of potions, each with their own price tags, some of them on sale. In his monotone, he explained "Medical, rapid healing, magic enhancement, rune batteries, combat oriented potions. Take your pick."
