Quote:"Personal" she said, rolling the word with deep-seated spite. "Her name is Sabrina San, you met her at Moth Cathedral. According to the news she engaged Lilith Lamashtu in battle before you took out the bell tower. I know her son has gone missing after your attack on their Paragon City base. If you know where he is please let me know. He would be ever so useful in my grand scheme for vengeance."Originally Posted by Liz Bathory
"This Dragonfly is a Nighthunter?", Elizabeth said interested in the offer... "I have not heard that name before... It will be easy enough to put his or her name on this list. Do you want to have a simple kill or a personal kill?" -
"No it's cool" said the girl, collecting the blocks of cash. Suddenly the air of innocence was gone, replaced instead with a blank look, filled with pure rage and hatred, her eyes a cold window to a darkened soul. "Actually, there is a reason I wanted this bounty. I wanted to get to you. I heard the Nighthunters were attacked the other day and you were behind it. My name is Kai Long Shin and quite simply put, I need the one called Dragonfly dead... permanently. If you can help me with that, I'll join your court and make more kills like this for you. Free of charge. Think you can do that?"

Still clutching to her prized heads, she followed Bathory into the office. Once inside she placed them all onto a table and proceeded to disloged the signature pieces from her kill; the mesh wire, the bone, the arrows and the mp3 player with Elvis Presley on the playlist. Inpatiently, she waited for the cash. "Come on, come on show me the money" she cried, shaking and stomping.
-
"Harrigan and the three Vultures!" the girl exclaimed, smiling from cheek to cheek, four horrific death faces screaming from under her arms.
"I make it $500k for each Vulture and $2M for the Hyena. Your call coffin lady." -
Quote:"Roger that Typhon" said Pious soaring into the distance. "Woah, hang tight guys. Something's coming towards us from up ahead. More than one... its a whole flock. Birds of some sort, they're certainly winged... and huge. They look kind of pissed off... Oh my goodness! Typhon, they're dragons! Guys look out, we've got dragons incoming! Fall back and shield up!" Just as he said it, a foreriding dragon slammed into him and engulfed him with a breath of hellfire.Originally Posted by Garjzla
I spend most of my time out here in the outer reaches of hell most of the creatures here are stupid and anything that would kidnap someone has intelligence. Intelligent creatures live in the middle of hell so thats where we are going."

Like a schoolkid picking up his soccer ball, the young girl collected her bodyless trophies and climbed the staircase after the lich. She took notice of every detail in the castle as they progressed forth. "I wanna see the boss herself okay?" she demanded. "She gives me my money then she gets her heads."

We should plan something in-game for Wednesday night or Thursday. I'm thinking a Big Game, Leon DeFeurard (and any others) Hyenas/Nighthunters cross-hunter alliance meeting to form the basis of the next forum RP chapter now just around the corner; Open Season: Assault on Castle Bathory. At the moment I'm eager to see what the Corporation has planned. I also wonder if there might occur any in-game PvP 'clash of the titans', Leon vs Lucard etc.

Quote:Cap Au Diable, Rogue Isles, Outside Castle BathoryOriginally Posted by Liz Bathory
Elizabeth was knocked down, her hair and dress going every side... But the attack was a dark energy she had learned to master almost 235 years ago. And her resistant to the effects was high. The fall had bruised her face and knee... It only took a second for her to locate the source of the blast. Leaning on her right hand she extended her left towards the little girl, a small but powerful incantation muttered softly. There appeared a lot of dark and light ethereal beings that enclosed Mary and lifted her up (Soul Storm). It left the girl completely paralysed about two meters of the ground. "WHICH IDIOT FORGOT TO CHECK THE CHILDREN FOR POWERS!", she screamed out while stopping Hazel from walking out of the cell.
The slender frame of a young girl in a crop-top and miniskirt strolled across the castle grounds carelessly dragging a black bin bag behind her. She approached the front door and began looking for a doorbell of some sort. When she couldn't find it, a confused look stretched her face comically. She began to chew her bright pink bubblegum faster and faster, blowing the elastic bubbles larger and larger until her impatience climaxed. With a childlike huff she grabbed the garbage sack and lobbed it at the door. The plastic ripped and out rolled the heads of Father Harrigan and the three Vultures. The former had the mesh wire of a Catholic confession booth stabbing through the neckline. Bonecaster, an African necromancer and leader of the Vultures had a large bone lodged in his skull. Salvo the former circus trick shot had been crudely impaled with arrows now protruding from his eye sockets. Elvis impersonator and swordsman Vegas, the last of the Vultures had pieces of an iPod mp3 player sliced into his throat through the jugular.
"Hello?" she yelled angrily, throwing a bright pink shoe at the Castle door. "Bathorny, Balwhory, whatever your name is, I'm here to cash in my chips. I got the Vultures and a Hyena but RIP are closing in so... you bloodsuckers gonna let me in or what?" -
Quote:Pistol had shrugged off Jack Wolfe's attempt to pull her into the portal. She had been confused at first at his odd behaviour and decided silver in the arm would teach him never to lay his hands on the merchandise. The retreat of the Court of the Blood Countess had also been an exiting attack on the bell tower. The implosion sent both Sabrina and Pistol, and probably also Rack Up's remaining squad, spiralling down onto the grass below. The old architecture of the church tower did it a favour as only the top part of the structure, including the iron bell was swallowed up into limbo. The day had been won and Carmine's lone robot seemed to pose little threat to Altair's and the hundred-strong superpowered army now moving in to surround it. As the drama drew to a close, heroes from the Nighthunters stood by the collapsed bell tower, pondering the total cost of the incurred collateral damage. The unknown vampire was alone in his thoughts but together, they must have wondered; what similar perils faced other hunters all over the country, and what manner of evil plans does Bathory have for the remaining months of the open season. Perhaps in the interest of survival, it was time for every hunter to come together and form a pact.Originally Posted by Liz Bathory
Jack was struggling to keep Alicia in his arms. Pistol obviously didn't like her position. Finally she managed to get a small silver dagger out of her boot... and stabbed Jack in his shoulder with it. He gave a loud hown of pain... fully realising this wouldn't heal that fast. The shock made him drop the woman too. [...] The werewolf just reached the gate in time as it was already starting to shrink. Then it imploded... taking the Bell Tower with it!

I suppose the in-game RP blend-in might confuse a non-Unioner. Nighthunter Kidnappings, Corporations Meeting etc. Hope you enjoyed your time with us.

Quote:None meant. The person in subject is truly much thought to be bossy and controlling. I advice that his comments and criticism should not be taken to heart and ask that others take note of one thing; not all Union Roleplayers are like him. THAT is my case in point. Discuss if you must. I'm off to bed.Originally Posted by FloatingFatMan
I've taken far far worse critique (such as Pious's insults above)...

Quote:Only a few minutes later, the Longbow/MAGI joint coalition had successfully incinerated the Circle of Thorn demons and their possessed corpses. The army of one-hundred had won the battle against a thousand demons, using clever tactics and military strategy. As soon as the coast cleared, MAGI liaison Azuria and Longbow Warden Agent Longbright entered the Cathedral to meet Grayson and the Priest.Originally Posted by Damsel_EU
"...Michael Grayson and the Priest have since joined forces with the approaching government army. More reports to follow..."
"It seems the Court are retreating" said the agent, moving in to offer a handshake. "Reverend Hunter, Detective Grayson. I'm Agent Longbright, we've been communicating over radio. Hell of a fight you guys put up out there. I'll be sure to put in a word for you. Your efforts here tonight, your team's bravery and the sheer skill displayed by those other guys, simply must be awarded. I know how much you heroes love medals, huh?"
"Why thank you sir" Pious replied, taking the hand. "But you know, if it weren't for your timely arrival, the Rogue Islanders might just have taken this town. This here Cathedral is the mother church of the Catholic Diocese and she's quite vulnerable. Anyway, there is still of course, the problem of the giant robot..." -
As the story progresses I wish to take us deeper into the Netherworld and onto the next chapter. But now I gotta go to work and will be busy this weekend.

Ok that was bad, moving on, I have a question. Does the Kidnapping at the wedding plot happen after the battle at Moth Cathedral or before? I am assuming after, but am not sure.
LOL. Yeah kinda killed the joke didn't I? Worst. Comedian. Ever. Anyway, yes the kidnappings happen the next day after Moth Cathedral.
I'm off to work now and as such will be busy through this weekend. See you next week. -
LukeMinhere, I am so sorry that you've had to remove your posts and feel compelled to apologise on behalf of certain people. Seriously guys, take a friggin chill pill. This is exactly the kind of intimidating behaviour that scares people away from the forums and indeed (union) roleplaying at large. Luke, as the original poster you are perfectly at liberty to deny by request any responses, comment, feedback or criticism of your work.
Sure he didn't display a disclaimer to this effect in the opening of the thread but is it really any wonder that he's taking this stance now? His work may not be up the standards expected by certain readers but it certainly doesn't warrant the blunt reception its been given. Luke's upset about it and has asked you to mind your own business and back off. That's perfectly understandable and I suggest we respect his wishes and disengage from his thread.
Garjzla and Cactus Brawler have said it too. Courtesy costs nothing and snarkyness is just not called for. I refuse to stand by and watch without saying anything in this guy's defence. Luke, if you want to write a story titled Mutent Kind, by the freedom of our countries, go for it. Limited skill or not, go for it. Practise makes perfect and if you want to progress in your own way, at your own pace, do just that. Don't let these guys shoot you down and don't let them shake your confidence.
I'm sure we all know who I speak of when I say the overbearing throwing around of weight is simply characteristic of this person and his words and actions must never to be taken to heart. He stands as no representation of us union roleplayers. Most of us are bloody nice chappies. Get on with your stories Luke and have your fun.

Wait, I better spell check right? *rolls eyes* -
Opean Season: Kidnapping of the Nighthunters
The Meeting Room, Worn Cover Bookshop. Following Morning.
Blade Racer: S-AI, anything on the cameras?
S-AI: Incorrect. There are currently 195 beings registered in the threat database under the heading "Demon" Only 37 have associations with Countess Bathory
Jim Wixston: And the rest?
Blade Racer: still makes her the top suspect
Jim Wixston nods to pious
ElliangelIelli: What are you wearing Angel?
BIazing Angel: [Deep electronic voice] Well there are a lot of freelancing robots
Blade Racer: Pious....
ElliangelIelli: Hi all.
BIazing Angel: How did you reckognise me? *sounds a bit frustrated*
Blade Racer: Suraya....she never came home last night....
S-AI: Probability is thatCountess Bathory is linked, but the remaining entries are small independant bands, or solo operatives
ElliangelIelli: Your amulet Angel
S-AI makes a bleeping sound
ElliangelIelli: I know. My wife and kids were taking also.
BIazing Angel: Oh...right...
Blade Racer: and...Mary was kidnapped from her bed....my niece...
BIazing Angel: And what i am wearing is an enhancing exo-suit
ElliangelIelli: Lets head downstairs. This is officially an emergency.
S-AI: I have downloaded all CCTV footage for the last 24 hours in this vicinity. Processing will take approxomatly 1 hour, 22 minutes
Blade Racer nods "do it as fast as you can S-AI, priority one"
S-AI: Acknowledged
ElliangelIelli: Lets use the meeting room
BIazing Angel ducks to get through the door
ElliangelIelli: Exit the suit and have a seat Angel
BIazing Angel hops out again, the robot again imploding to teh tiny ball wich she stuffs into her pocket
ElliangelIelli: SAI, help yourself down near Blade please.
ElliangelIelli: Angel, sit by Jim please
Blade Racer: Pious, this is hardly the time
BIazing Angel: Right..
S-AI: I must remind you that you can only see a holographic image, and that I am incapable of siting
BIazing Angel leans her bow, and quiver with arrows on the table
BIazing Angel nods to nightseye
Jim Wixston nods to nightseye
ElliangelIelli: Nightseye, sit by Blade please
Blade Racer gives a small nod to Nightseye "PIOUS!"
ElliangelIelli ignores him
ElliangelIelli: Remain calm everyone and keep your cool.
BIazing Angel: I can hardly stay cool..*smirks*
Blade Racer goes slightly red but holds his tongue for the moment
ElliangelIelli: This is an extremely emotional time for this family but we have to pull together and we will get through this.
Nightseye: I cannot believe some of you can joke at a time like this!
BIazing Angel: It was a fact actually
ElliangelIelli: Basically, last night after Blade and Suraya's wedding, the demon Lilith possessed the Imam, penetrated our magical defences, bypassed our technological defences and stle away our families.
Nightseye: Do you have any idea where too look Pious?
ElliangelIelli: No.
Blade Racer: so lilith did take them....
Blade Racer: then i know just where to look
ElliangelIelli: We've contacted MAGI to help us trace the teleport signatures Lilith used
Nightseye: That seems a good start
ElliangelIelli: Azuria has refered us to Infernal who has been tasked to help us track Lilith.
Blade Racer: why are we tracking lilith!? Bathory is her mistress,lets go to the source!
ElliangelIelli: We will split into two groups for that.
Nightseye: we are after youre wife Blade.. not Bathory
ElliangelIelli: Blade, Lilith may not have gone to the Castle.
Blade Racer: no, but thsa twitch will know exactly where she has taken them
ElliangelIelli: You will lead the team to track down Lilith by following her trail. I will lead the second team to find Big Game and set up a coalition. Sabrina and I will go to the Rogue Isles. I'll be in touch.
ElliangelIelli: Any questions?
Jim Wixston shakes his head
Nightseye: No.. we will do what we can....
S-AI: Negative
Blade Racer clenches his fists but shakes his head
ElliangelIelli: Meeting adjourned
Nightseye: Bast willing we will find them all alive
Nightseye: ...and well
Nightseye: Pious.. one more thing...
Blade Racer: I know their alive...
ElliangelIelli: Yes?
Nightseye: You know this is only to lure you and Blade and Big Game to her don't you?
Blade Racer: if its a trap its poorly deviced
Blade Racer: and it will be her undoing
BIazing Angel: Or made to look like it
ElliangelIelli: The we'll do exactly that.
Nightseye: I hope you are right...
ElliangelIelli: We'll bring that woman the hell she wants. One way or another, we're gonna team-up and find our families.
ElliangelIelli: Now lets go. We don't want to waste any more time.
S-AI: Mr Blade. Considering the target's use of teleportation, do you wish for me to continue reviewing CCTV data?
Jim Wixston: I need to suit up first
Blade Racer: yes, any clue is needed
ElliangelIelli: Yes. We'll need those analysis once they're ready. Anything is useable.
Blade Racer: but combat comes first
S-AI: Acknowledged
BIazing Angel sighs a little
ElliangelIelli goes off to find Sabrina
Blade Racer: guess we know what were doing, to Talos
BIazing Angel gets wraped in metal and soon stands as a big robot over 8 feet tall
Nightseye: Bast protect me!
S-AI: Switching combat protocols to primary. -
"Come one people, this is Blade and Suraya's wedding, the best day of their lives" said Pious, urging the others to the dancefloor. "Forget the demon posession. The Imam is being seen to as we speak, lets not allow Lilith to ruin this da-" Pious stopped suddenly. His psychocommunication amulet was indicating to him that his wife was no longer near. And neither was the bride. "The women are missing" he muttered, his head spinning frantically. "Something's wrong, my wife is missing. Rachel?! Hazel?! Oh dear God" he yelled, running into the street and disappearing into the night.

You could actually introduce a 'government office' scene into the Open Season plot, since they have now gotten involved and dispatched their agents to Astoria. You could tie-in Mental Girl and her Azuria jokes to the story somehow, would be hilarious. Heh, I might even be tempted to join in if I can be funny enough.
“Susan did you hear the news?” asked Kerry, a forty-something file clerk working for MAGI. “How the heck did PCN get all that Intel on Lilith Lamashtu?”
“I don’t know but I’m sure you’re about to tell me” Susan replied, still trying to perfect her wingadium-leviosa spell.
“Wingadum Leminsa!” she yelled, blowing a whole through the desk. "Oopsie daisy"
“You know what I think?” said Kerry, not even taking notice of the explosion. It seemed this sort of thing was customary in the MAGI department. “It’s Ed, Edd and Eddy from DATA. They’re always hacking our files and selling it to the press. Oh wait till I show them. What’s that spell for cranial-rectal inversion?”
“Anal Achalasia?” Susan asked.
“No no, the other one”
“Sphincter ani externus!” shouted Susan, pointing excitedly.
“Ah!” Kerry screamed, a sudden agonising pain shooting through her rectum. “Well don’t bloody yell it!” -
((Nice post. Made it out like something from a horrow movie))
Pious was strolling in and out of the shop's front door, clutching a bucket of fried chicken and a supersized carton marked 'OJ'. He returned from inside the bookstore and joined Altair at the DJ deck. "Come on, slice me some MJ" he asked. "I want to practice my moves from Ruby's birthday party"
"You gonna put that bucket down first Reverend?" asked Altair, teasing the wanna-be dancer. "Alright who wants some Michael Jackson?" she called out. -
Hehe. That would be so funny. Nothing beats a good inter-government comedy. Burn After Reading and The Men Who Stare At Goats had me in hysterics.
-
I guess another question is how did the media learn about Mechano sending security to Game. I would imagine what with the whole Chimera thing, Mechano's company building would be under Longbow watch and they would have investigative journalists with them. Similarly, the Corporation did meet to discuss with Blade Balfear in a public nightclub. If for plot purposes there are objections to certain Intel leaks, I guess as Damsel said, she's willing to retcon stuff out.
-
((The kidnapping occurs during the wedding. It's a sub-plot for Open Season. Bathory, Big Game and I were talking about it behind all yous back! Hehe.
))
-
((So that's what I missed! Stupid PC died on me. Shall we proceed the forum RP? Question about the Kidnaping of the Nighthunters loved-ones; does it happen secretly under the cover of Lilith's fire explosion thing? Don't know whats planned. Either way, shall we follow-up with an in-game Hyenas/NH meeting tonight?))
-
Yeah I think it's okay. On-the-battleground face recognition software-carriers, sound mics, Dark Astoria ID gates, energy signature trackers, magic investigators, computer-hacking jounalists... whatever. Look we shouldn't stamp on creativity trying to explain out a comicbook too much. Get on with it and enjoy the fun. Okay, we're all aware that the OOC/IC knowledge cross-over is metagaming and that's got to be handled sensitively, so if there are roleplayers who do have a problem with certain information writen into the post, I'm sure Rachel's fine to edit it and delete stuff. It's forum RP. Quite often, the easiest and quickest way do recaps is publish > feedback > edit. Lets all try to stay calm when pointing out other people's mistakes, otherwise people get upset. She's only trying to help.

No problem Gar. I'll GM something up in your abscenses.
LOL talk about sexual insecurities Snaerr.
