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.

I'm disappointed, Loki! I expected better! [She doesn't have many secrets in there, since it could be broadcast to everyone. That's why she has a different journal.]
hisoldtricks: (054 || Thor)

[personal profile] hisoldtricks 2014-01-27 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
Did you now? Why is that? Surely, you of all people would know some secrets are better left unraveled through time.

[Even journals can lie, he knows this all to well. And where is the challenge in finding out a secret without putting in the effort.]
redcinemareel: (Grell: oh ho ho ho!)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-01-27 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I do know, but I would have still peeked!

[Grell is nosy, so lies or not, she likes a good read.]
hisoldtricks: (073 || Thor)

[personal profile] hisoldtricks 2014-01-27 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
It would have been far too odd to peek, when we could hear you through the thing.

[Besides if he really wants to read journals, he would look for the real one. ;)]

redcinemareel: (Grell: Hmm?)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-01-27 10:04 am (UTC)(link)
[She's counting on you, Loki.]

Perhaps. What did you hear? [Many things were said, but most of her talking was through her rapier. Which she lost.]
hisoldtricks: (121 || Avengers)

[personal profile] hisoldtricks 2014-01-27 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
It sounded as though you might be struggling. [Obviously he couldn't make out everything that was going on, but some of her special brand of sound effects came through.

For the first time, he does note that she is without her weapon.]


Will we be needing to get you a new weapon?

[He doesn't think it will be hard to commission another, but of course he knows even weapons can hold sentimental value.]
redcinemareel: (Grell: Hmm?)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-01-27 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
Only partially. Once I got into a sort of rhythm, it was a bit fun~!

[Ah, her weapon. Grell shakes her head and puts away her journal beneath her blanket before extracting her chainsaw from within. She wasn't holding it earlier underneath there. It looks like it could use a cleaning, but otherwise, it looks in great condition.]

I have it. There's no need for concern.
hisoldtricks: (022 || Thor)

[personal profile] hisoldtricks 2014-01-27 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
[He chuckles at seeing the chainsaw, of course she manages to keep the weapon that lacks finesse.]

And what of your sword?
redcinemareel: (Grell: can't you understand?)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-01-27 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Finesse doesn't always make pretty patterns on the walls.]

Lost. Which is a true same. I quite liked it. It will need replacing as I also work to collect more daggers. [She puts way her weapon back into the blanket. Into whatever pocket of space it came from.]
hisoldtricks: (028 || Thor)

[personal profile] hisoldtricks 2014-01-27 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not as enamored with the sight of blood, he just likes to see the bodies hit the floor.]

Ah daggers, some of my favorite weapons. I tend to keep many on my person at all times.

[He can crack those fuckers like a bull whip, he's so good at throwing them. He pulls one out to show her.]
redcinemareel: (Grell: uwaaaaa~!)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-01-27 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
[The dagger is beautifully crafted and very, very sleek! Not to mention pointy! Grell is instantly enamored by it.]

It's a sight to behold. [She looks to him.] I wonder if I could get those custom made.
hisoldtricks: (201 || Avengers)

[personal profile] hisoldtricks 2014-01-27 11:03 am (UTC)(link)
Considering I am the one who forged these, I am certain that you can. I merely need the proper materials and a place to work.

[If they could find a blacksmith, he could temporarily take over their forge to make more.
]
redcinemareel: (Grell: OMG)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-01-27 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
...you are?! [Green eyes are wide in surprise.] Then we certainly must get you adequate materials as soon as possible!

[People need to bleed!]
hisoldtricks: (028 || Thor)

[personal profile] hisoldtricks 2014-01-27 11:29 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, I prefer my daggers be exactly the way I want them.

[He can certainly use another people's designs, but nothing beats one specially made for his use.]
redcinemareel: (Grell: Ah~?)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-01-27 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
Just as the only saying goes, yes? [Grell wishes she could be as good with creating things as she is with destroying things.] What would you actually need?
hisoldtricks: (113 || Avengers)

[personal profile] hisoldtricks 2014-01-27 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
If you find me a place that has a blacksmith, I can get all the things I need.

[Much easier than trying to collect the metal and then go about collecting tools. It cuts out all the running around.]
redcinemareel: (Grell: Let's have a good time)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-01-27 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
It shall be done~! [Grell could hardly wait til she had sharp, pretty things again!]

Would you mind if I tried a sample?
hisoldtricks: (085 || Thor)

[personal profile] hisoldtricks 2014-02-02 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[With a practice ease, he flips the blade around in his hand and hold out the handle to Grell.]

Not at all, be my guest.

[It's not the first time, he has lent others his daggers. Though Sif tended to take his daggers without asking most often.]
redcinemareel: (Grell: green eyes)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-02-02 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, that's rude of her.

Grell takes the dagger, and immediately notices that it's significantly lighter than the dagger she bought months ago. This surprises her. Turning the blade in her hands carefully, Grell examines it, occasionally twirling it between her fingers. Her skin gets nicked from the simple act of it, which makes her smile.]

It's very well crafted. [She hands it back to him, handle first.] It'll be child's play while wielding it.
