KEFKA

"☠?! ☹!!!"





The room was dark; Nothing lighting the room except for a lamp with a dim bulb and a laptop screen flashing in front of a young man dressed rather oddly. His fingers typed away, the clicks of the keys enough to mark the immense word-per-minute count he was capable of as he seemed quite focused. Another payment had been arranged, and he knew what that meant; Whatever they wanted taken down, he'd take down. This time he felt like the pay was a bit shallow to support his efforts, but at the same time, he appreciated the cute challenge that was COLOS: He wasn't entirely sure who they were, just that they were developers of some kind; Developers that pissed off a old employee, he'd assume.

"...♫"

He just had to get in, and make a document public. How hard could that be, right? Sure these were devs, but they were surely only focused in their little field; Compared to him they probably lacked a lot of small qualities he had. He was KEFKA, after all: Cyber Attacker, information thief, and leaker. He'd been learning computers for most of his life, there wasn't anyway he was going to end up being outdone just yet.

Just a few more keystrokes...

He perked up as he broke in; Eyes scanning the numerous files for what he was intending to find. Most of the names on the folders were irritating, non-descriptive of exactly what the hell they were. Though most companies did tend to have crappy naming conventions for their stuff, so it was par for the course when looking it all over. He found a folder of employee information... All conveniently enough in simple text documents; Because the company was stupid.

pennard.text

hoid.text

malazz.text

"....." He was growing annoyed with the names that didn't match what he was looking for. He pouted momentarily, but perked up as the name came up; Toriko.text. Was this the guy who hired him, or was it someone he was pissed off at? Didn't matter to him, all he needed to do was download this for himself, send it out, and then he would be set for a little while. Though, if he were to just download all of the information instead... That'd get him more recognition, right?

He began a download of the folder, figuring he should've just taken it from the start: He didn't always think ahead enough and it made him slower like this. But now all he had to do was sit back and--

"...?"

"...?!"

Something seemed to be happening with his system; His screen was bugging out, and warnings were popping up. Shit, had he been caught?! Their security had looked like total garbage; How the hell did they manage to get ahold of him when he was even being as sneaky as he could about it? He furiously typed, attempting to continue his download but realizing the whole situation was going bust; Their security came out of nowhere, and with a few key strokes it was clear that it wasn't just locking him out; It seemed to know his location, and worse off than that, also seemed to have a secondary command that automatically sent that information out.

He jumped up with his laptop, preparing to leave his home: There was no telling how this could turn out; He needed to get the hell out and watch to see if police came to his door. He could go wait across the street at the coffee shop; That ought to be enough to throw off the idiotic feds if they showed up! Though maybe going farther away was a good idea... He really didn't want to just suddenly get caught; That'd end up ruining his reputation! Then

He had to change; But, ended up distracted as he noticed something new on his screen: It was bugging out more than before, seeming to maybe be an increase to the security measure. What took him by surprise more, however, was how the room was suddenly getting brighter; Like he had turned on a light, or something. Eyes reacting to the glow, all he had to do was look down to notice that there was a ring surrounding him on the ground; Causing the young man to panic and attempt to flail out of the ring, but not nearly fast enough to prevent him from being swallowed by the light beneath him; Leaving naught a trace of him behind...

PERDY

He hasn't said "Yeah, baby!" Since this is not good.


"There's no shaggin' way!"

Pacing back and forth inside his on-set trailer, Perdy had a phone up to his ear and a scowl on his face. He was furious! He was far away from home, filming a movie, and his old friend and current housesitter was asking him how HIS DVR worked! He had it perfectly set for while he was away, and she was now going to ruin everything he had prepared just so she could get something she wanted?! This was un-groovy and especially unacceptable!

"Oh, come on! Ghost Hunters is great! You'll love watching it when you get back!" The voice on the other end of the line replied, seeming insistent.

"No way, honey! I don't have time for ghosts; My episodes of Sex in The City need to be recorded! I HAVE to know what happens!" Perdy insisted, standing in place momentarily as he was met with silence. He got impatient and spoke up again: "Riley?! Riley! Do NOT mess with it! Just watch it once, then go play with Goochie or something, or other!"

"Ehhh... I already set it to record." Riley admitted sheepishly, followed by a small chuckle.

Perdy inhaled a deep breath, then exhaled with a loud, clear annoyance. "By. Cancelling. My. Recordings?" He questioned, seething with irritation.

".... Yup." Riley admitted, dryly.

"Why do you always pull things like this, darling? I trust you to look after my household, and my sweet Goochie-baby, and you ruin my recorder for my shows, eat and leave messes without cleaning them up, and I already KNOW you knocked the new bloody vase over!" Perdy was, essentially, turning into a screeching wife... Except he wasn't married. Or even in a relationship currently; So it gave him a minor realization of self-obnoxiousness.

"The... Vase?" Riley questioned.

"The. Vase." Perdy replied, annoyed.

"Oh, right. That shattered thing by the entrance! My bad."

"RILEY--!!"

Perdy paused his ranting, finding himself at a loss for words; She loved getting on his nerves, didn't she?! And she didn't do it for fame, or attention from others (Aside from potentially him...) It was all targeted to annoy him as much as possible! He rolled his eyes at the situation, about to tell her he was giving up and he'd talk to her later; Before a ring of light suddenly appeared beneath him, taking him by complete surprise, though his shades did block out the light.

"What the-- What is happening to the floor?!" Perdy questioned, fear in his tone as he was swallowed into the light beneath him as quick as he could spurt out his final words. The call then cut off, leaving Riley on the other end of the phone staring in momentary confusion. She shrugged after a moment, kicking her feet up on his coffee table as she clicked the remote to unmute the television, figuring he'd be fine.

I'm not really in a condition to work on anything tonight, but I'll see to it that I have things done tomorrow.
Been waiting on the GM to go or for one of the others to actually jump in. Seemed like half the cast disappeared real quick.
@13org

Far as I know, we can't double.

Plus your character has the potential to die, so keeping the other as a backup is a good idea anyways.
Markus snapped his fingers, raising up a hand and pointing at Yui with amusement. " You never know, eggs can be tricky things! One minute it's in your arms, the next minute it's -- " Markus paused, realizing that bringing up some old mistakes was not good for business. " Well, it got to you safe; That's what matters. "

Desmond couldn't help but feel a sense of dread when he saw Keala release her Pokemon. He hadn't seen anything like it before; it looked like something off a pirate ship, not like a Pokemon. It gave off an presence that he didn't like, but surely if it was a Pokemon it wasn't going to hurt him, right? But, if they were going to battle, then that meant Fluff had to fight it. And it could hurt her quite a lot, by the look of things.

The Mareep had decided to stay by Desmond's side, but was glaring over at the girls and their Pokemon. She saw a challenge; Something big, and though she wouldn't express fear towards it, kinda scary. She hopped in place, eager for the fighting to start.

" No worries, Desmundo! " Markus assured, patting Desmond on the back. " A breeder isn't to be underestimated! I might not be a hardened battler, but my Pokemon are raised well! "

Desmond smiled at this, not exactly feeling confident, but he did feel better about the situation as a whole. He nodded to Markus, figuring if they were going to do this, he was about as ready as he'd ever be.




Meanwhile, Wallace clapped his hands together; Having waltzed over to make plenty of space for the upcoming bout. " Alright, everybody to the sides; We have a bit of a show for you younger trainers today! " He shouted, acting as a sort of hype man; To his own little match, no less. A crowd is a great way to help Trainers perform under pressure, and Wallace figured testing the confidence of the group would be entertaining and healthy. He knew one was lacking confidence, but maybe he'd be able to find some through this battle?

Wallace could only hope.

While not centered around Wallace, there was a crowd building at his words; Kids talking of the Gym Leader and whatever he wanted was probably important, or cool. With his cheerful attitude intact, Wallace pulled out one of his pokeballs, tossing it into the air and letting it pop open; The white beam forming his Pokemon, Milotic, right beside him. He caught the pokeball without issue, his partner swerving around him and making him quite the star for the moment.

" Some of you may know what a Double Battle is, " Wallace spoke, the crowd quieting down somewhat as he continued: " For those of you who don't, a Double Battle is where four trainers in pairs of two battle eachother with four total Pokemon on the battlefield! Though there are also variants of two trainers using two Pokemon each, it is uncommon in most regions. " His explanation seemed to amuse and pull the crowd into the event; Which was exactly what he wanted.

" Now, for all of you new, wonderful trainers that are about to set out on your own adventures with your first Pokemon! I have arranged a double battle for you! " He cheered his words with enthusiasm, causing the crowd to cheer and celebrate the idea. A smirk crossed his face as he half-turned, gesturing an arm towards Dareth and Markus.

" In the first team, we have a breeder from my hometown of Sootopolis, Markus! And a new trainer like you all, though he may be a bit further in age... Dareth! "

Markus, hyped up by Wallace himself, whooped his own entrance as he dragged the slinking Desmond along; Who was trying to block out the crowd and repress a slowly building annoyance at being called the wrong name. He really wasn't made for these types of encounters, but here he was. Fluff strutted along with the boys, head held high and proud, ready for battle.

" The second team! " Wallace shouted, turning again to gesture at the female duo. " The opposite team! Two more new trainers, ready to show their worth on the stage! Presenting Hara and her adorable pup, Growlithe! And... "

beat

Wallace's eyes lost color as he realized he didn't know the other girl's name. After a brief, awkward moment of thought, he did a dramatic turn, lifting up his hand to try and hype it up more anyways.

" A mysterious lass, and her scary sea-abyss Dhelmiseeeeee! " Wallace shouted out, gaining the cheer back from the crowd.

Fluff took point, hopping in front of the duo of trainers behind her, momentarily sparking up and flickering electricity through her wool. The crowd seemed to like it, and she took pride in being applauded.

Snatching a greatball from his belt, Markus couldn't help but grin at the excitement. " She thinks she's a show-stopper, huh? Well let's see how people react to this! "

Markus tossed his ball, the item popping open in the air and light shot down onto the deck of the boat, taking a somewhat large snake form, before flashing away and revealing the Pokemon, which cried out:

" Ssssseviper! "

" Markus has chosen a Seviper for the battle! It would seem the Gal Team aren't the only ones with a menacing Pokemon! "

Markus snatched his greatball back as it fell towards the ground, thrusting it in the air as he was pumped to get this started. " I raised this Pokemon from an egg! It's been personally cared for and is my best friend! It's been awhile since we've had a battle! "

The Seviper swung it's tail, hissing at the girls as it expressed an eagerness to fight. Probably from being pent up in a daycare for awhile.

" Well, with all Pokemon currently out and on the field... " Wallace and his Milotic retreated somewhat, making sure the trainers had plenty of battle space. " I can countdown! "

" Three! "

" Two! "

" One! "

" And... "


" Begin! "
@13org

Well, if the vote is for personal gain, I'd have to say having more characters up front never hurt my chances of living. Heheh.

To Shields & Slugs!
@13org

I suppose either way it's useful; I kind of see the heavy-armored character being like a vanguard with a grenade launcher that potentially has elemental-explosive rounds (Though all-hit might be OP, so this isn't advice just a thought)

It probably comes down to what you would think of as most interesting: A character that can stay back, dish damage, and stay alive through an encounter... Or a individual that still dishes damage, but builds aggro and tanks for the small-fry with a boomstick.

I won't pass up on the opportunity for there to be more people soaking up heavy hits so Jenga doesn't have to: I was looking at a bit of difference in roles. But the concept is different enough that it still works if that's what you decide to go with.
