Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Blackmist16>

I mean it isn't ruined since I just undid it. Though like I said if you want to go the dark god angle, I'd be down for forming a council of them to wage war against Existence.

So long as I can just wrap up any arcs I might have in it at the very least.

@ZAVAZggg

Also, please don't feel bad. You're doing fine too, we just don't want anyone thinking they're ruining the rp in any way.

Myriad Reality

Let me just put it out there right now, I'll say it again if I have to. I am super sorry I kind of just got caught up in the idea...erm I could make this an easy fight? God I feel so stupid right now and I had no intentions to ruin this RP for all of you.

@Blackmist16

You're doing fine (I say as I don't read the IC) we generally do things in a way where we don't really plan stuff out, so momentai. There are times to plan and times to go with the flow, and either is fine here.

I'm tempted, but... think I'll stick to reading this instead, heh.

Nice.

Cinnamon. Crystal thought as she stood up and squared her shoulders. Should have gone with cinnamon. She glanced back at where the two shots gunfire came from. ... Apple, perhaps? But that would be overstepping... As she thought this, her gaze travelled to where the first shot hit, noticing that she wasn't the only one who had been grabbed by their would-be kidnappers. Sure, there was Captain Wei being grappled behind her, but she was a trained soldier and had two of the other girls backing her up. She hadn't even heard Selma's comment on Chie, being too focused on escaping when she said it, but now Chie had her full attention.

Crystal took one last look at the two who had grabbed her, noticing as they step back a little. Perfect. She bit down hard on the gum in her mouth before she turned and booked it towards Chie, her footsteps loud enough to draw the attention of her target, the man(?) turning their head towards her as Chie broke out of their grip. Within range of the abductor, she slammed her foot down and threw all the force she could muster into a punch towards their left temple, moving inwards to catch their face if they backed up or tried to turn away. She turned towards Chie for a moment, just long enough to say "Get to the others." before rebalancing her weight, shifting her footing, and slamming her left knee into the kidnapper-to-be's stomach.

She pulled back and waited for Chie to start moving before getting between her and the two wounded attackers, slowly taking steps away from them while keeping an eye both on them and on her own assailants. With any luck, Rivka could give her cover until their guards got back up. What a way to start school.

Crystal sat in silence for the most part, listening and learning about the other girls. At one point they had all exchanged information on where they were from, but luckily she managed to get away with not saying her last name. Soon enough, the Captain announced that they would be leaving the train in three stops, so Crystal put her headphones down completely around her neck and shut off her music. The flickering lights made her feel even more uneasy, so she wanted her full attention on her surroundings despite also wanting her music to calm her down.

As they arrived at the station they all gathered their luggage and left the car, only to be hit by a blinding light and powerful shockwave throwing everyone to the ground. The next thing she knew, there were two figures trying to drag her backwards away from the others. Crystal panicked for a moment until her eyes readjusted and her training kicked in. She still had her backpack on, adding to her weight, so she jumped up and threw her legs out behind her to land on the ground and push forward, stumbling one of the figures. Next she used the advantage from that stumble to crouch backwards slightly before jumping forward and using the leverage from her arms being held to kick her legs upwards as if doing a backflip, twisting her arms in the grips that were holding them and leaving nearly 180 pounds of weight hanging midair that the abductors were trying to keep hold of. Finally she used the leverage given to her by them once again to throw her legs downwards and back onto the ground, twisting free from one of the attackers as her weight shifted too much for them to keep hold. The entire process was quick, about six seconds, and was quite painful to Crystal's arms, but it was worth it to escape.

With her left arm free Crystal turned and punched the other figure holding her right arm in the throat as hard as she could, leaving them gasping but still holding on tight to her arm. Deciding that hurting her arms further wouldn't make things much worse than they already were, she jumped backwards slightly and kicked midair with both feet towards her captor, hurting them and pushing herself away from them at the same time, causing them to lose their grip on her and for her to fall backwards, hurting her back as she fell onto her backpack. One backwards somersault and a lot of stress on her back later, she was crouched near her where her luggage had fallen and was ready to fight, slipping her backpack off quickly.

I feel bad about the small post and the fact that Stel is too fresh to know what to do, but post is up. Hopefully she'll be more useful next round of posting.

What in the blue hell? came as a thought when the two... lifeforms? Things, appeared. Then came the scream. It was unlike anything Stel had ever heard before, and it terrified her. Her previous thoughts of the treasure trove of knowledge that these entities could provide were wiped out and replaced by thoughts on how to best survive. She wasn't confident enough in her piloting to rush forward into close range where her Orbital would thrive, instead being paralyzed with fear while all the other pilots took action. By the time she recovered, Gypsy Soul was already about to crash into one of the entities with blade drawn.

As her fight or flight instincts took hold, she had just enough rational thought to throw up the METATRON's Particle Energy Shields and open comms, though only silence came through them from her to the others. She found herself unable to speak and shaking in place at the speed of these metallic enemies. A small part of her that was still functioning as normal was telling her that, if they were made of any known metal, all she had to do was get close enough to fire off her Orbital's main attraction, but that voice was drowned out. She instead stood still with her shields up, trying to recover from the shock that these monsters inflicted on her.

Working up to a post slowly, will try to get one up by monday.

Crystal sat in her room on the Concordia listening to music from her phone. Rather, she was skipping songs almost constantly trying to find ones that fit her mood. Skip, skip, skip, listen, skip, listen, listen, skip. She ignored the passing scenery out of a fear of heights because she couldn't exactly draw it while it was moving by so quickly. This fidgeting with her phone went on for the entire time she was there until finally the ship landed in Calcaria. She continued sitting in her area until someone came along to bring her out of the ship. She grabbed her luggage, a simple briefcase, a backpack, and a travel bag, and headed out the ship to the docks.

She turned down her music so she could hear and was taken along with the other three girls to a rail car, which they all went inside to wait to move on. Thinking back, she couldn't remember being in Calcaria before in her life. Supposedly she had been to several of the other cities when she was extremely young, but she only remembered two other than her home of Norba, those being Bellanum and Drusa, the three of which were very different than the small bit of Calcaria she could see while moving from the ship to the tracks where she was now. Looking around she saw that the other girls didn't seem to have much in common. There was an amazon woman, or so it seemed to Crystal, a plain looking girl who was eyeing the rest of them, and a girl with colorful hair who seemed a bit too stoic for her liking. She gently turned her mouth up and blew air at her bangs, causing them to float for a moment, before closing her eyes and reaching to turn her music back up. That is, before one of the other girls spoke up.

"Hallo!" the tallest girl spoke up. Her name was apparently Selma, and she offered help with luggage. Were Crystal not as strong as she was, she may have even taken the girl up on that offer, but it was simple enough to carry for her. Besides, it would be wrong for a semi-noble to ask a commoner for something like that. It was part of her job to protect the common person, not make them work for her, even if they offered to do so.

The plain looking girl, Chie, responded saying that she hoped the four of them could get along. Crystal sat quietly for a moment before taking out a pack of gum sticks and putting one in her mouth, holding the pack out for the others. "Thanks for the offer, but I'm fine. Anyone want some gum? It's regular bubblegum flavored, so hopefully nobody dislikes that." Crystal paused a moment. "Anyway, my name's Crystal. Pleasure to meet you all." She just hoped that her voice didn't betray her nervousness at the whole situation. It wasn't the other girls that were the problem, it was the nagging thought that she had forgotten something and the general anxiety of moving to a new place that had her on edge.
