To go with your crew...



Who: Everyone who is fighting in the battle to kill the witch.
Where: The Black Fortress in the East
When: Jan 24th-25th
What: The grand battle to get back what you have lost, get revenge for what was taken, and avert disaster.
Warnings: Language. Death. Victory. Defeat. True love. Miracles.
Style: Text or prose
Status: Open to all



The black fortress ripples with shimmering iridescent energy, the piles of black coral heaped on roped together barges around it, bobbing in the waves. On the largest barge stands a slender man with a copper belt, wearing a face mask, orange red hair flecked with black from ash or dust. As the dawn slowly folds over the ocean, he'll look up, as if hearing some hidden voice.

At the top of the fortress, a figure climbs into vision, a woman, dressed in gray, features obscured by a hood with impenetrable darkness behind it. She staggers a moment as if she is weary, then straightens to her full height. As she speaks, her voice comes out of the journals, echoing over the water, low but clear.

"This is no small task ye do. She that rots within'll do anythin' ta stop ye. Don't hesitate to kill what ye find. If they were human once, they hain't no more. Watch out for her golems, too, or they'll drain ye dry quicker'n a wink. But if ye can get rid of 'em, it'll weaken her." She hesitates, cants her head to the side. "And if ye lot aren't as much of a bunch'a idiots as usual, ye might come out alive through this."

That said, she raises her hands. After a moment so does the man on the barge. For a moment, nothing seems to happen and then iridescent light shimmers over the coral, seeming to match that which surrounds the fortress. It crackles and dances like a fire, and then without warning bursts into a furious life, slamming against the energy of the fortress. There is the sound like thunder and light snaps and crackles, zipping with energy. Then with a woosh the light flies upward, taking the figure with it. The man on the barge lets out a cry like a seagull and dives into the water as if intending to swim after her.

For the boats that remain, a part of the fortress will crumble away into the sea, revealing a small harbor and an open doorway. Enter all ye who dare.

[Musa wasn't sure if she found being confused for a girlfriend insulting or a compliment. Arms folding and not looking overly impressed.]

I'll answer it then, no. I'm just a musical friend. But, since we're all on the same battle field might as well stick together until I can find any of my crew again.

[personal profile] dersite_dj 2014-01-26 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we can all safely assume that I'm painfully single at the moment. Let's start leggin' it or whatever. [Dave floated there, impotent. He had no good thoughts churning through his head at the moment.

Just a sudden recollection of how much he hated clowns right then and there.]
redcinemareel: (Grell: ...you're kidding me.)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-01-26 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
[She does look at his lack of feet. Legging it? Really?]

Yes...let's. Where is the exit?

[The undead should be coming up to them soon, she's sure.]

[personal profile] dersite_dj 2014-01-27 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey, he had legs! He was just not using them at the moment!!!]

I'll be able to tell you that for sure in like, thirty seconds. Gotta wait for another Dave to pop in.
redcinemareel: (Grell: confused)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-01-27 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Might as well not even have them, Dave.]

...do you mean the older one? [She hopes it's 'yes'.]
melodyssong: (♪ Return to me)

[personal profile] melodyssong 2014-01-27 11:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Musa wasn't exactly sure what was going on exactly, but she hazard a guess at least.]

Also considering we came in here, wed know where the exit was anyway. [She doesn't see the point in waiting honestly. Especially as she didn't have a clue of what could happen here.]

[personal profile] dersite_dj 2014-01-28 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Sshh, ssshhhh, ladies.

[Dave raised his hand, turning down the music just as another Dave floated down the hallway, inspecting a captchalogue card.

He wasn't really paying attention until he got to the three before him. The other Dave stared, raising his voice.]


Oh, shit, I remember this. Man, I waited like, three days to do this. Alright, follow me, chumpettes.

See? [The two time clones reached forward and gave each other solid fistbumps.]
redcinemareel: (Grell: ...you're kidding me.)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-01-28 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Splendid. [All the sarcasm. Grell hoists up her chainsaw and follows.] Just get us to the exit and I'll get us to our ship. These walls are dampening my powers, else we would be outside by now.

[Musa stops for a moment to actually study the walls.]

Do you have any idea what this wall could be made of? [She lightly touches it, Grell just mentioned it draining her, so what exactly could it be made from. Curious most curious. She takes a closer look, it just looks like a normal wall...] Okay, lets get going.
redcinemareel: (Grell: srs bsns)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-01-28 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't the foggiest idea, but it's not ordinary. [She doesn't plan on touching it willingly.] I bet the Navy uses the same.
melodyssong: (pic#6997355)

[personal profile] melodyssong 2014-01-29 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Musa is more than willing to touch it lightly.] Whatever it is, it's something we should find out more about, right?
redcinemareel: (Grell: O RLY?)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-01-29 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
So you wish to know about its origins, then? Because what I've just told you is about ninety percent of what there is to know.

[She looks at the walls as they walk. It would make a good weapon if they took some of it, or at the least, forged into the body of metals.]

Dave, take pieces of the wall, could you? A large amount.

[personal profile] dersite_dj 2014-01-31 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Without hesitation, Dave reached over to tap a captcha card against the nearest wall. It simply vanished as if it were no longer there in the first place, disappearing into the card. Really, Dave just made the hallway they were in into a gigantic, open room suddenly.]

Right on.

[And then a frog plush doll fell out of thin air, landing on the floor as if that were a normal reaction to a wall being sucked up into the void of a video game card.]

[personal profile] melodyssong 2014-01-31 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[That wasn't exactly something Musa was expecting to happen. Blowing up the wall maybe, but not that.]

That certainly was new, but you dropped your toy because of it.
redcinemareel: (Grell: oh~? BD)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-01-31 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, do pick up Mister Kissington. He's so cold without you~!

[personal profile] dersite_dj 2014-02-01 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Dude, Kermit ain't English.

Anyway, if I pick him up, the wall's gonna fly out and probably crush us.

So.

Nah.
redcinemareel: (Grell: righteous indignation)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-02-01 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
What sort of name is Kermit?
melodyssong: (Default)

[personal profile] melodyssong 2014-02-01 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
[She shrugs. Heck if she knew to be perfectly honest.]

Then I'll take the guy for now, unless you ant him? [She's talking to you Grell.]
redcinemareel: (Grell: righteous indignation)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-02-01 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
I have no idea where that thing has been! [There might be drool!

Just then, a few undead round the corner on them, swinging their rusted weapons. Grell ducks before slashing upwards, cutting one enemy into two.]

[personal profile] dersite_dj 2014-02-02 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, let's go with drool.

[Dave didn't want to admit that he wasn't sure what exactly happened to poor Kermit in the time Bro made him and used him in puppet porn. Maybe not actual jizz, but metaphorical jizz had gone all over his plush exterior.

He assumed the least, when he should have known better.]


Still, you totally don't want it.

[personal profile] melodyssong 2014-02-02 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, if he wants to abandon it she is not going to complain. Fluttering her wings slightly she turns to walk in the opposite direction she came from, using a sound attack to take care of the undead down the way.]

Okay, if that is all lets get to it.
