Judah Raines - Judah's House

@Banana

As Gaia descended the stairs, Axel looked up from a tennis ball he was playing with and almost grinned. He immediately bounded over to her and attempted to lick her face. Out of the two new visiters Axel had met, the one with the long hair seemed to enjoy his company more. The other was more reserved and didn't pet him nearly enough.

From the basement, though the door was closed, repeated dull thuds and the jingle of a chain could be heard. Passionate emotions eminated toward the top of the stairs. Anger, pain and rage. Though it had been a few days since their run in with The Community, Judah was still dealing with Troll's powers. She had pulled out the baggage Judah had tried so hard to bury and avoid. He was not very good with dealing with it and his only avenue of release was through physical activity. Notibly, beating the tar out of his punching bag. Axel wisely avoided Judah when he got like this.

A few minutes went by. Then there was a pause in the noise. The air started to feel more calm. Gaia would hear footsteps as Judah ascended the stairs to the main floor. The door opened revealing Judah drenched in sweat with his workout clothes. The Nike logo could be seen on most of his outfit, including his gloves. He nodded toward Gaia as Axel gave a friendly bark, Judah smiled and made his way over to the garage to store his gloves. When he returned he opened up the fridge and took out two snapples. Mango and strawberry. "Take your pick," he offered to Gaia.

Gabriel/Swarm - Minutemen "Headquarters"

@propro@old amsterdam@Banana@yoshua171

Gabriel smiled at Gamer and replied, "They have done myself and my associates an incredible disservice. We would not come to you if we did not believe you and your elite team were up to the task." At his mention of the team being "elite", Damien couldn't contain himself and burst out laughing in their mind, "HAHAHAHAHA!! GOOD ONE GABE!."

He smiled broadly revealing rows of the whitest teeth you'd ever seen, "If you do this for us, you will be handsomely rewarded. Even more then what I'm offering now. I promise." Even though it almost seemed impossible, Gabriel's grin grew even wider. Then Outsider asked to take a look at the money with a mildly interested expression. Gabriel replied, "By all means." He said bowing slightly.

Outsider would find the money to be the real deal. Nothing was off about it.

@XandryaHey, welcome to CoD. Hope you enjoy it. It's been a lot of fun for me. I post as the characters Swarm and Mantis. Currently my character heads the team of Lethal Force and your character (at ProPro's observation) would fit right in that group. Anti-hero, grey morality, etc. If interested in joining up we would be more then happy having another member to take the bad guys down!

Captain Cedric D. Boone - Krabbe Battle! VI

The shots from Violet's pistols came directly for the Captain whizzing through the air. Fortunately, Cedric figured the man wouldn't go without a fight. He raised his blunderbuss as he sidestepped, going for deflection. Then he charged Violet jumping over the precious rum as he did so. That's when he saw the pistol split apart and create another.

He thought to himself, "A devil fruit user that splits things into multiples. With allies that utilize perfect teamwork..that disappear.." The wheels in Cedric's head were working overtime as he lunged Violet with his bayonet. He aimed to run him through his chest. The force and momentum of his bayonet could puncture decent armor. His strength coupled with the weapons quality made for a deadly close-range combination.

That's when he finally put the pieces together. It was simple really. Why hadn't he figured it out before? He yelled out at the top of his lungs in amazement, "THINK OF ALL THE RUM HE COULD MAKE FOR US DIRK!!"

Judah Raines - Alleyway

@solokolos@Banana@Eklispe

Judah continued to record and then Zach smashed the television into the pavement. Limbo made a comment and disappeared somewhere. Judah tried to record her. At the same time, he felt Zach's pain and a slight unease. Then he claimed the woman would not die. Zach's tone gave the impression he was unsure of the statement. Judah turned his camera off and scratched his head in frustration, "Zach..that woman may be dead now. I realize it was painful, but we have no more leads."

He took a long look at the situation. Seeing SpFarce kneeling in shock, he walked over. Then tried to comfort them by putting his hand on their shoulder, quietly stating, "She's a monster and I'm sorry. We have to go now though. There will be time to reflect later. And I promise all of you," He said as he looked back to Zach, "We will bring these degenerates to justice." Then he smiled, "Our justice."

The emotional overload that they experienced had taken a toll on Lethal Force's mental stability. Judah was especially effected, being able to feel the other's as well as his own emotions. The only way he was able to compose himself was because of his powers. The "justice" he was referring to now was not a virtue to uphold, but a desire to get even. He wanted to get The Community back ten-fold..he just didn't have the manpower, resources or training to even attempt that at the moment.

Judah stood up and waved the group toward himself, "Let's head back to the apartment and help the twins get their stuff out of there. That place has been compromised. We have to bring them someplace else." Then he whispered when they got closer, "We need to take different vehicles and make sure we lose Limbo. If she finds out where we live too.." he trailed off, "We can't let that happen."

Then Judah began heading back toward the twin's apartment. He helped anyone walk if required and quietly whispered to the Twin's when they saw the vandalism done to the place, "You two can crash at my place until we figure this thing out. Don't worry it'll work out." He smiled at them as genuine as he could considering the circumstances.

Gabriel/Swarm - Minutemen "Headquarters"

@ProPro@Old Amsterdam@yoshua171@Banana

Gabriel sat down in the chair provided and watched as the woman left. He waited patiently as Kyoshi had a slight outburst. Then Rend tried to calm the situation down and redirect attention to their guest.

Gabriel, smiled after having their attention and stood up, "Thank you. My name is Gabriel. I represent a group of business associates. We have recently been having problems with a criminal gang calling themselves The Rockers." He waited for them give the affirmative that The Minutemen knew of the group. He continued, "We would like you to bring their leaders to justice. Specifically, the parahumans named Ceramix, and Shatterpoint."

He paused for a moment to let all the information sink in. Gabriel had what many would call a silver tongue. Gabriel spoke as if everyone around him was the focus of all his attention. He looked directly into their eyes, gave the appropriate body language and gestured at all the right moments. His smile was completely genuine. Gabriel would make an excellent politician.

He continued, "My benefactors and I realize you are a very busy and sought after group." Gabriel was very proficient in the art of flattery among his other skills, "I hope we can..persuade you to take up this job with all your attention and resources. It would mean everything to us."

He set his suitcase on a table, unlocked it with a key, and opened it up. Inside was filled with cold hard cash. The Minutemen would find when it was fully counted, it would equal 50,000 dollars. Gabriel smiled and said, "There's more where that comes from when the job is done."

@McHaggis When will I get an update?

Gabriel/Swarm - Minutemen "Headquarters"

@ProPro@Eklispe

Gabriel strolled towards The Minutemen's Apartment. He was wearing a nice white suit and hat with a yellow tie. In his hand he carried a large briefcase. He knocked on the door for someone to answer. "Not exactly the most professional of groups to ask, is it?" Gabriel thought disappointingly.

The response was swift and angry in tone,"We are here to get a certified hero team to dismantle The Rocker's leadership and in that power vacuum, take it over for ourselves! The team's skill is irrelevant because The Rocker's are just as weak." There was a pause as Damien took a long drag of his imaginary cigarette then exhaled.

Another voice chimed in a high pitched womanly impression,"Strong enough to make short work of you, Damien."

"SHUT UP WOMAN! HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW ANOTHER PARAHUMAN WOULD INTERFERE!!? I WILL SLAY THEM WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS!! MARK MY WORDS!!!"

Gabriel rubbed his eyes in annoyance."This is really not the time to bring that up, Ms. Faulkner. Right now we need to focus on using cunning to pit two potential rivals against one another. When they are weakened we will claim our time in the spotlight." He smiled broadly at the thought.

Captain Cedric D. Boone - Krabbe Battle! V

As he ran he heard the sounds of Krabbe ordering the "VICE" into position over the loudspeaker. Being as preoccupied as he was below, Boone didn't think much of it. When the Shrimp Brigade disappeared, Boone was confused to say the least. He stopped mid-charge cutting off his battle cry,"AHHHHHH-huh?" He looked around and saw Caesar facing no one and Blue disappeared after being shot! Blood dripped from his shoulder where the bullet skinned him. For a moment he did nothing. Then he remembered the gunner.

He quickly turned and saw him between the crates and he commanded,"Come out from there! Your allies have disappeared and you're all alone. Dirk! Disarm him." Boone stepped towards Violet then heard more commotion coming from above,"Caesar, help our first mate defeat Red."

He awaited Violet to lay down his arms as Dirk moved in on him. Unfortunately, Boone did not yet know the exact nature of the power the Shrimp Brigade actually possessed.

@Banana aww man, it would be great to have you bro!

Judah Raines - Alleyway

@solokolos@Banana@Eklispe

As Troll insulted himself and his team, Judah tried to repress his rage. When she mentioned his team being "mind raped", Judah lost it. Anger and frustration boiled out of Judah's body like waves of intense emotion in all directions. Zach and the twins would definitely feel it. Despite being knowledgeable of her abilities, Judah felt powerless to protect himself from her verbal stabs. She was able to find the very things that made Judah insecure and rip him to pieces from the inside out. This continued for a few seconds until Judah tried to collect his thoughts,"She is using her ability to get under our skin and cause division. I must regain control of this situation before she destroys our unity."

Judah breathed in very deeply. He could still feel the anger. He used his power to release peace into the air while he exhaled slowly. Then he used his emotion sensors to pick up on the peace in the air. The feelings of rage subsided. They were replaced by a gentle calm. "That's better." Judah thought. Then he implanted the thought into his allies,"She's trying to get in between us. We have to stick together."

Afterward, Judah took his phone out of his pocket and began recording Troll's television. A few seconds went by in silence with the woman continually sobbing; Troll hovering over her with the knife. Finally, Judah spoke up,"I'm sure the PRT would be thrilled to get their hands on this footage of you torturing a civilian. If they find out she dies, I'm positive they will release a kill on sight order. That would really make my day."

Ryuu Yakedo

@McHaggis

Location: Lower Ring
Interacting With: Captain Xia

Ryuu nodded as the captain dismissed him. As he turned to exit her meeting room he couldn't help but become just a little bitter. After all, if it weren't for that blasted fire nation high ranker; he wouldn't have been completely stripped of his rank and forced to work under these lousy conditions. It was his fault that Ryuu couldn't get a promotion while he lived. And when he actually removed him in Agni Kai, Ryuu had been completely stripped of his rank entirely! "This world's rules are pathetic excuses to keep the weak in power. To me, they are no more then mere suggestions. I will have my day in the sun. And when that day comes, everyone who got in my way will regret everything."

Ryuu headed back to his place and saddled up his ostrich horse once more. He took a few weapons on it to feign the act of selling the pieces to the more wealthy people's of the Lower Ring. He intentionally avoided the loud bustling crowds and headed toward the more quiet and secluded places. There, he believed he would find their fellow saboteur preparing to hit some of the more sensitive targets of Ba Sing Se. They were not trying to hurt the peasants, he at least knew that much. They made too valuable of pawns to waste like that. All it took was a little unrest, a little hunger and the people would be more then ready to stage a revolt of their own. It was simple, calculated and cold. Just like Ryuu..minus the "simple" part.
