The students and staff of our Heartless Academy and, it seems, a few others. All those on the island have been linked together, via magic, in teams of three. Those in a team feel each other's pain and are unable to travel far from each other without blacking out. If a team member dies, those left on the team will experience pain such that they may wish they had died as well.
Everyone finds that they are wearing some sort of smart watch. It’s rugged and self healing, unable to be removed. It seems to tell the time and show vitals. Maybe it also does something else?
Location
▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂
Quote:
A large volcanic island. This island sports forests, beaches, mountainous areas, and large fields. The weather changes suddenly and drastically in highly localized areas. It almost feels disjointed, but the mystery of it matters less than being aware of just how dangerous it can be. Aside from hazardous terrain and weather, it is also very much home to many monsters.

Survive and escape.
It seems that, normally, there is a way to return to the Academy. However, a certain maniacal individual has taken over the means to do so, preferring everyone trapped there so they can rule over them. Or just watch them suffer. Or both. Something along those lines. There must be a way to get back control and return to home sweet home, the dear ‘ol academy. It’s uh, it’s at least a much cushier prison than this.

When two teams come within a certain range of each other, their smart watches light up, declaring that a challenge has begun. Now it’s time to fight!
A few teams have a ninja icon on their watch, and are 'invisible' to other teams, so they will not have to fight if they run into another team. (Whether your team is PVP or PVE will be listed).
Teams must then have a set of 1v1 matches with each other.
Healing magic is not usable during matches. This included quick self-regeneration abilities.
Attempting to leave the area or taking too long to start fighting each other once their watches have signaled the start of the challenge will result in both teams facing debuffs that will make their time on the island more challenging. They will be warned as such.
Winning against another team, best two out of three, gives your team buffs that will make their time on the island easier. Buffs are only usable against NPC's/PVE and will be nullified if choosing to fight another team.
Winning against another team also gives prizes back at home, those casino prizes will be waiting ~
Once two teams have fought each other, they are free to travel together and work together if there are no hard feelings!
After a team has had three PvP encounters, they will no longer be incentivized to fight. Meaning there will be no buffs, debuffs, or prizes. So if those teams start fighting, it is just cuz they got beef for some reason.
One team can choose to forfeit instead of fight, in order to travel with another team, but the team that forfeited will have to deal with debuffs, and the team who wins because of the forfeit will not gain any buffs or prizes.
Debuffs will not be healable and will remain until dispelled by the school.
Please note that debuffs ONLY happen when teams refuse to fight. Being defeated does not incur any debuffs, although your characters may need to heal after depending on how heated the battles were.
Throwing a match by not really trying will be considered a forfeit.
Buffs:
1st Win Buff:
Your characters become highly perceptive and energized. Combat numbers x2 until the end of the event.
Will receive a small casino prize when returning to Heartless.
2nd Win Buff:
Your character's combat numbers are now x2.5 until the end of the event.
Will receive a medium casino prize when returning to Heartless.
3nd Win Buff:
Your characters have become stronger and get to leave the event with +10 on their combat numbers. During the remainder of the event, they get to have x2.5 and the +10.
Will receive a large casino prize when returning to Heartless.
-----
Debuffs:
1st Forfeit Debuff:
Your character loses the sense that is most important to them.
Will last until the field trip ends.
2nd Forfeit Debuff:
Your character’s combat numbers are halved, but they are strangely attracted to danger.
Will last until the field trip ends.
3nd Forfeit Debuff:
Your character's abilities have been permanently nerfed until they let Vlad show them a worst time that's sure to leave them mentally scarred.
Will last forever until plotting with the crew in the future for what Vlad does to your chara.

Supplied by Kip! You are free to come up with your own events, but these are here for RNG purposes to give some nice writing prompts~
To roll your random encounter first type in !roll 4 then, find your table. Then type in !roll 20 to get your event from below.
Easy (1)
1-5: Your party comes across a village of Goblins (20) who are celebrating the Festival of Carnage. Turns out, your group is just who they were looking for… They needed a sacrifice.
6-10: Your party finds a kind stranger in the woods with a broken leg. If you decide to help, he hands you each a ‘Healing Potion’. The potion is actually a poison that when ingested, causes hallucinations and dizziness until the end of the bell.
11-15: A random knight on a warhorse wielding a lance claims the party are dragons in disguise and charges them down.
15-18: The party stumbles upon 9 Grungs harvesting some herbs. Do you attack or make nice? (Grung are non-hostile and will run if you attempt to fight)
19-20: The party is ambushed by 8 Winged Kobolds from the trees around them! Heavy rocks fall from the sky around the party!
Medium (2)
1-5: Three Couatls ambush the party, striking quickly and snaring the scariest looking member of your party.
6-10: Your party stumbles upon a cave, a roar comes from the inside as a young blue dragon charges out to attack. If the party is about to slay him, he will run.
11-15: Your party comes across 2 Manticores with their child wandering out of the cave. If the adults catch your scent or see you they will attack but not severely maim the party unless given justifiable cause.
15-18: Good Ol’ Rumple is handing out random potions in the middle of the island. When you stumble across him, he hands each member of the party a different color liquid. They are all just water and do nothing besides give off a fruity aroma matching the color of the liquid.
19-20: Your party encounters a group of children that look like their younger selves. They are badly broken, bloody, and beaten. When they are approached they utter the words ‘Mommy/Daddy?’ before dying, referring to your characters… How do they take this?
Hard (3)
1-5: 2 Star Spawn Lava Mages begin to make it (molten) rain! If attempting to engage in the storm of falling magma, they will launch magma bolts and beams at you! Be careful of debris and explosions~
6-10: How ‘bout a game? A man playing 5 card poker is sitting at a nice table somewhere on the island. You can bet him with casino coins… Or maybe a Good ol’ Contract with Mr. Rump or ignore him… Be Careful though, he cheats. (If you catch him cheating through good RP something good may befall you)
11-15: Your party stumbles across another group of PCs that has one of the party's romantic interests… There is an invisible barrier locking both of them in forcing them to fight… Surrender is not an option… What will you do? (Don’t worry it isn’t actually them… right?)
15-18: Your party wakes up with zero memory of how they arrived in this dark location. They are now in a ‘fun’ house that projects specters in the reflection… Horrifying images surround them… Don’t make eye contact and get out! (Warning: Looking in the eye of the spectors will cause vivid nightmares and hallucinations and the feeling of being stalked)
19-20: TREASURE! There it is! A large treasure chest sits covered in vines, fabulous casino riches and magic items will be yours! (Hint, it’s a Mimic, don’t open it, there are no prizes… Only pain.)
Run (4)
1-5: Rumple appears! This time, it’s not to hand out free ‘potions’... He comes out firing spells left and right attempting to maim you and the environment around you!
6-10: Vlad decides to pay your party respect for their eventual funeral in about 5…4…3…2…1… But luckily Sophia swoops in to stop him from killing your party… She does not heal the party though.
11-15: Dopplegangers! A copy of your party appears with glowing yellow eyes, devoid of life! They are you but at your parties full potential. They will hunt you for a bit if you decide to run.
15-18: The BBEG comes to sow chaos and say hello, they will not fight you but they will toy with you, not causing any significant damage to the party.
19-20: You encounter a walking Tarrasque.
Rules
▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂
Quote:
During the event, we will be using Chatplay on the Discord. Chatplay messages should be no more than one paragraph long to allow for quicker posting. Please don’t be cheeky and write ‘one paragraph’ that’s like 300+ words.
Once a bell (so once every two weeks) you will need to post a summary to the Main Thread in the Guild for what has happened in the chatplay. These can be short summaries. We will send reminders for when check-in posts are due.
During the event, you will be expected to have your character experience an ‘event’ or an engagement with another team at least once a bell, it is ok if one event takes more than one bell. Your team will be expected to use a ‘Check In’ channel on discord to announce what RNG or self made event they are going to be interacting with that bell. Failing to pick an event yourselves will result in the crew picking an event for you~
During the event, you must stay with your assigned team. If someone on your team needs to take a Hiatus, we will come up with some reason why they suddenly vanished and then come back later.
If for some reason you end up alone on your team, we will work to place you with another team.
If you plan to kill your character during the event, please let the Crew know BEFORE posting it.
You may work with other teams and make larger chatplay groups if you want, but characters with ships will NOT be able to work with their ship. Those teams being around each other will be painful to each other.
This event may end as early as the first evening, or as late as the next morning depending on the actions of characters pursuing the ‘story’.
The ‘story’ is being led by the crew, please do not presume success in any part of the ‘story’ until the crew confirms.
We will be using Combat Cards to facilitate all PvP and PvE. All combat should use the Combat Card Combat Sheet as reference. The character with the higher number will win 90% of the time. If there is a special circumstance with your character, you will need to be in complete agreement with the other handler about it. Absolutely no OOC fighting about IC fighting. When the combat number is within 5 of each other, using RNG to establish outcome is acceptable.
OOC fighting will result in the following: 1st time - a warning. 2nd time - A strike. 3rd time - permanent removal of a power from your character, Roxy's choice. Just don't do it.
EVENT BEGINS 8/12
Teams
Everyone who wanted to be part of Story was given one character in the story plot.

Alistar: Waking up on a cold floor, the unknowing goddess groaned while sitting up. It had been a while since she had felt like this. Had she been drugged? Blinking widely she tried to force the tired feeling from her eyes. Shivering from a strange feeling, she looked around in the dark room trying to see if anyone else was around her. She knew better than to say anything though. You never could know what or who was around you that may want you dead.
@Sinn @whiters4
Sinn — 08/13/2022
Estelle's eyes frantically moved beneath their lids until finally separating. The floor beneath her was hard and cold. Why though? Last she knew she was in her bed. Pushing up off the floor, her body felt strangely sore. Her head swirled about which told her what had happened. She had used this type of thing for some people before. Someone drugged her and put her here. Her arms tried stretching out but tapped against a glossy surface. Estelle was really confused now as the room felt empty yet not at the same time. Unable to see anything around her, she began to whisper. "Hello? Anyone around?"
Roxy — 08/15/2022
Alistar: Hearing someone whispering a 'Hello', she turned in that direction. Here. She called while standing up. It was like playing a weird game of marco polo with someone. As she walked forward though, her face came into contact with a hard, but shiny, glass surface making a loud thud sound along with her cry of irritation and surprise.
@Sinn
Sinn — 08/15/2022
Her eyes glanced around in the dark. As if she would be able to see anything. She called out a few more times. After some silence, her shoulders lowered. An exhale of failure weighing heavy on her. But she figured she'd try one last time. Just for the hell of it. "Hello?" she said without any expectation of a response. This time was different and she perked up. 'This voice kind of sounds familiar..' she thought. The back and forth continued as she heard a nearby thud. Similar to when she had bumped into something. Her hands held forward a bit until she felt skin beneath her touch. "Alistar? Is that you?" she asked the other person.
@Roxy
whiters4 — 08/17/2022
”Why are we whispering? Alexus asked, rubbing the side of his face that had been on the floor. He only had one drink yesterday, so unless someone put a ruffie in it, it made no sense for a sleepless death bringer to be waking up right now. It was tragic, and why did it lead to him waking up in such a dark place? As he pawed around for his scythe and tapped it on the floor, causing it to start glowing, the voices inside the weapon were more informative than his own reasoning at the moment. If they didn’t remember getting here, either, than…”We’re in the shit, aren’t we.” He sighed, getting up and dusting off. His scythe was only glowing enough to light his face as he glanced for the more familiar voice. ”Alistair~”
@Roxy @Sinn
Roxy — 08/18/2022
Alistar: Blinking as she heard her name from two voices, both of them people she knew, the goddess grinned. In a voice barely above a whisper she spoke. "Because we don't know where we are or who may be around that we don't want to attract the attention of." Feeling around, she tried to find the size of the room she was in. She could see a faint light near her but it only caused her to see movement from the corner of her eyes. Turning to look at it, she caught sight of creatures moving in the mirrors. To her horror, they looked very much like things from her past, or those blasted creatures from Drake's other realm. One of the creatures turned it's disgusting head and she locked eyes with it. Amber eyes widened in horror as a strange feeling of being stalked came over her along with tremendous fear. Tearing her eyes away from the creature and ran for a break in the mirrors around her.
@whiters4 @Sinn
Sinn — 08/19/2022
Not long after she found Alistar, there was another voice. One that wasn't familiar to her. Unfortunately, it wasn't like she could put a voice to a face. It was one she hadn't heard before. In the corner of her eye, she saw a faint glow on the floor. But she couldn't tell what it was and it was gone almost as soon as she saw it. "Knowing the school, it would be beings that aren't exactly friendly. So as Alistar said, best we don't attract unwanted attention." Her hands continued feeling the walls around them. Every now and then tapping on a smooth surface. Mirrors, like the one she felt when she first woke up. She caught something reflective in one of them. Narrowing her eyes, she found the creature was already staring as their gazes met. It's eyes seemed to pierce through her. A dreaded feeling washed over her. Almost like she was going to be sick. Her head swirled with a heavy dizziness. It took some effort but she pulled her eyes away. Footsteps tapped around the floor and she felt around for that other person. After finding their arm, she helped them to their feet. "Come on, we've gotta go." Then proceeded to lead them in the direction of the other footsteps. That is, if they would follow her that is. If they didn't, she would release them and hoped they would anyway.
@Roxy @whiters4
whiters4 — 08/19/2022
Okay, those were answers he could have guessed, it wasn’t like they knew he was here and could know the answer to at least one of those questions. ”Mm, I see both of your lifespans, but not anything else’s.” He thought he was confirming, vaguely seeing an outline of Alistar’s form. He was turning to the other set of footsteps to maybe coax them both in his direction when the Egyptian flew past on a quick exit route. ”Uh??” Was all he managed to vocalize before there was a pull on his arm and they were apparently all running. He didn’t need to be given a reason to run, but to do so blindly, literally and figuratively? ”Follow one wall, it’s the best way not to get all our asses lost!” He called to the person leading, though he sounded a touch confused, still. @Sinn @Roxy
Roxy — 08/20/2022
Alistar: Hearing Alexus' confirmation about their lifespan she was a bit confused how he could see that but there had been stranger things at this school. "Left side!" She called back as she hit the door. Panting she glanced back recognizing the other two with her from their voices. Herr hand came out to touch the left wall, feeling the smooth texture of glass. Thankfully both of them seemed to be right behind her and she didn't see the creatures anymore. Once they had caught up, she did her best to peer ahead into the darkness. "Glad it's the two of you I'm in here with. Not sure if you guys know each other. Estelle, that's Alexus. Alexus, meet Estelle. Anyone have any way of making more light for us?" Biting her lip she hoped they could get out of this place quickly.
@whiters4 @Sinn
Sinn — 08/22/2022
When Alexus said he was able to see only their lifespans, it confirmed what she had suspected. She had heard of these types of creatures before. Spectors, as the feelings she felt when looking at one fit the bill. As she led Alexus, she spoke in a lower tone. "Don't look these creatures in the eye. They're called specters and the effects are immediate. If you do somehow look, either try to look away or let one of us know. I'll inform Alistar and let her know as well." It wasn't long until they had caught up to her. Seemingly all going in the right direction and she let Alexus' arm go. Alistar gave the introductions before she could. But knowing names wasn't exactly on the top of her list. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Alexus." Estelle glanced around for any hint on a way to go before giving Alistar the same rundown she gave Alexus not too long ago. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of something. She stared at it for a bit to try to comprehend what it was. Until she saw a familiar face. It was her lover, Bunzo. What's he doing here?! she thought. From what she could see, he looked battered and beaten. Causing her heart to ache until he was dragged away. Then there was the mental dilemma on whether it was real or not. But it sounded and looked just like him. She couldn't shake the feeling that eyes were on her. At the same time, she couldn't risk something truly happening to him. As if something or someone was controlling her actions, she began to follow. Some slight waves of nausea as her head was fighting itself. Her hallucination ability going head to head with the specter's. Just when she thought she'd get to him, he was dragged yet again.
@Roxy @whiters4
whiters4 — 08/24/2022
What a wild way to wake up, Alexus wasn’t used to be shaken to such an extent that he could feel adrenaline pumping through his veins. He was sure he’d never heard of specters before, and he’d certainly yet to see one since both women began running. Stopping to regroup, then, was a nice opportunity to properly collect themselves, Alexus shifting his scythe into different items of light to see which would best not illuminate these specters he was leaning about. ”Pleasure’s mine, Cosa Dolce…So is this about the mirrors? Why not just break them then?” Without further thought, he’d make his scythe a bat, wipe his hands on his jeans, swing, and yelp as he veered away at the last second, instead flailing in the air and landing on the ground. Rylee had appeared in the mirror? His head was fuzzy with terror as he held his chest, panting. ”Can these things physically harm us? Because if not, maybe we get out without relying on a way to see, after all.”
@Roxy @Sinn
Roxy — 08/24/2022
Alistar: Listening to Estelle explain about the creatures, she nodded. Well that would explain the strange feeling she got earlier. Glancing back at Alexus, she wasn't surprised when the vampire tried to brute force break the mirrors. Wincing at the rebound, she had only turned away for a moment when she realized that Estelle wasn't with them anymore. Glancing around, she saw the woman walking away. "Estelle!" She called, quickly making a grab for her hand. Glancing at the mirror the woman was looking at, Alistar saw Drake being tortured. Gritting her teeth, she forced herself to look away and back to Alexus. "How about we do a buddy style system until we get out? Walk out side by side, each one keeps an eye on another one to stop them from doing something not cool? We should keep moving though. I don't want to get stuck in here."
@whiters4 @Sinn
Sinn — 08/25/2022
Her eyes franticly looked around only to see the tail end. In the background, she'd heard her name called out. Then a hand grabbed hers. The sickened feeling lingered while she was unable to tear her eyes from the mirror. A head to head battle of hallucinating abilities. Like two rams butting heads in her mind. It took quite a bit of effort, but she regained some control of herself. Only just now realizing what Alexus had asked. Estelle was hit with a wave of nausea as she managed to look away. Perhaps turning her gaze just a tad too fast. Her free hand placed her palm on the side of her head. "If it were that easy to break the mirrors, the spectors would've done so already. It may be a good thing. I don't want to find out what else they're capable of should they break. We should get out of here as fast as we're able to. Since it was able to make a connection with me, maybe I can hit it back with a hallucination of my own. Maybe that we were never really here. It's worth a shot anyway.." An idea that would be of no cost to them. But was worth a try and she was ready to book it out of here. She probably wouldn't be going to actual fun houses for a while if one ever came around.
@Roxy @whiters4
whiters4 — 08/26/2022
Ho boy this place was going to eat them alive, wasn’t it. Alexus was fairly confident in that much as he gathered himself from a heap on the floor and once more dusted himself off. Can’t break the mirrors that are surrounding you and can’t look at the mirrors that are surrounding you- excellent, grade A trap to put a bunch of adults in. ”It sounds like you’re saying they can’t leave the mirrors? But I swear something else is in here.” Alexus observed, nodding at Alistar’s idea of a buddy system. ”Yeh? I saw let’s save countermeasures for an emergency and get moving like Gattina here has suggested, so far we’re getting our asses kicked.” No offense, of course, but his hair was standing on end and he’d just seen his wife, rather than coming up with multiple ideas, he’d prefer brute force over strategy right about now. Ive got the light, so I’ll…lead our buddy system.” It pained him to say that last part, he could hold his own but he was not confrontational. Thankfully, it really did sound like these specters couldn’t cause harm outside their mirrors. Turning his scythe into a hand held light, he stuck to the left wall and began walking. @Roxy @Sinn

@Sinn @whiters4
Alistar: Following after Alexus as he led the way she was actually glad that there was someone who could conjure light. Taking his free hand, she held out one for Estelle and became the bridge between the two. With Alexus' light and suggestion of picking a wall it didn't take them long before they found their way outside into fresh air. Sighing happily, she quickly shut the door behind them and leaned on it. Was Drake dealing with similar things? She hoped not. "Alright, seems like we get a moment to breathe." She really shouldn't have said that because as she did, the smart watch on her wrist... that she hadn't even realized was there, lit up and said something about a challenge beginning. "What the hell? A challenge? We have to fight someone?"
Sinn — 08/30/2022
Estelle remained quiet as they navigated their way out. Making sure to stay close to the other two. Now that she knew what she was dealing with, should she happen to glance at a mirror. She managed to project a hallucination back through the mental connection. Forcing the Spector to see no one before them. Though they managed to exit, she couldn't shake the image of her lover like that. Which made her worry for him. But, it also gave her a greater incentive to get off this island. Alistar was the first to say anything once they were outside. "Yes but with the knowledge that strange things are happening, I doubt it'll be longer than that moment. I am relieved to have that long after what occurred there." Just as she suspected, there was another thing that came up. Their watches lit up and she looked down at her wrist. "Fighting another team? Honestly, I cannot say I'm surprised.." She said with an exacerbated sigh. Estelle looked over at Alexus, "I guess your scythe is going to be used more than just a light source."
@whiters4 @Roxy
whiters4 — 08/30/2022
Oh- wow- holding hands with someone felt funny but Alexus wasn’t going to comment on that, but began rubbing his palm with his thumb when they were finally free of the funhouse. ”Where the fuck are we??” Why did they step out somewhere that wasn’t the school?! There was more to this?! The reaper made his weapon into a pair of brass knuckles as he rubbed his hand down his face, opening one eye to see a watch on his wrist announce that they were being approached by opponents. He groaned at Estelle’s comment, ”I might be a reaper but I don’t indiscriminately cut people down.” Not because he had any morals against it, he wasn’t violent but he didn’t care about the rules, either. Still, ”Do we have to…fight to the death? I’d rather we just run for it.” Spill blood? He’d hope to avoid it. @Sinn @Roxy
Roxy — 08/30/2022
Alistar: Huffing at the way their watches went off, she groaned along with the others. With a frown, she wrinkled her nose thinking hard. She wasn't a fan of just killing random people but at the same time... "Well, in this instance it's not indiscriminately cutting them down. You're protecting yourself and your teammates. Obviously I agree, if we can not kill them that would be great." Tilting her head back and forth as she thought, the goddess shrugged. "I don't think the school would make us fight to the death. That would take away potential candidates for us to leave with." It was surprising to her that the reaper would want to just flat run.
@whiters4 @Sinn
Sinn — 08/31/2022
Alexus was just as vocal about this as Alistar was. As much as she wanted to answer their concerns, she couldn't. She knew about as much as they did. So they were all in the dark for the most part. As she made the remark about his scythe, it became a different weapon. "Oh darling, I didn't mean anything ill buy it. Since we're going up against another team, it was more in an self-defense manner. I do not assume anything of anyone at face value." She said as she shook her head. Alistar spoke up afterwards, agreeing with what Estelle had clarified. She regained her composure and straightened her posture. Fixing any wrinkles in her clothing. "I do seem to recall there being a no kill rule when it comes to the academy. So, at least that should be some reassurance to you, Alexus? Nevertheless, I'm sure the other team who would be pitted against us have been notified. So we should prepare at least. We shouldn't be caught ill-prepared."

Alistar: Waking up shortly after the PVP battle ended, the unknowing goddess groaned sitting up. When was the last time she had gotten beaten like that? Oh yeah, that prick of a vampire when she first came to Heartless. "That's gunna leave a mark." She grunted as she pushed herself to a standing position and checked herself.
@whiters4 @Sinn
Sinn — Yesterday at 8:02 AM
Estelle opened her eyes and blinked a few times before she sat up. Her abdomen hurt a bit but her leg hurt more. "Thanks for the future scars.." she said to herself as she checked to see if her other teammates were awake. When she saw Alistar on her feet, Estelle pushed to do the same. "This school sure does have a thing for knocking us out.." she said as she rubbed her temple. "Wonder how much more they're gonna hit us with."
@Roxy @whiters4
whiters4 — Yesterday at 5:02 PM
That wasn’t a fight to get them home? When Alexus woke up he thought he’d find himself back at the school. Did nothing come from that? ”I guess we keep going until…” This was his first time seeing anything but the house of mirrors. Where was this? The reaper got up, feeling pain despite knowing he’d practically missed getting so much as a scratch. Besides, his scythe would’ve automatically healed any wounds, why wasn’t it now? He looked at his watch, the only clue about this place. ”Since it seems like I’m the least beat up, would anyone like if I scouted ahead, maybe see if I can find out anything about why we’re here?” @Roxy @Sinn
Roxy — Today at 12:19 AM
Alistar: Gritting her teeth against the pain, she felt as if she would have bruises all over her body and frankly worried for Silas' safety of Drake saw them all. "Not sure, I hope not much more. It's been nearly a full day." She answered Estelle with a raspy voice. Hearing Alexus volunteer to go play scout, Alistar saluted him. "Knock yourself out... but not literally please. I like you as you are and not unconscious." Laughing at her poor attempt at a joke, she shrugged nodding at them. @whiters4 @Sinn
Sinn — Today at 10:26 AM
Estelle nodded in response, "Yeah, I mean, we don't have a choice afterall." She said as she let out a sigh. Even Alistar has grown tired as the day went on. The raspy voice practically giving it away. "Agreed but honestly I would not be surprised if they hit us with another big thing. You know, go out with a bang as they say." Alexus' idea could prove useful to them. She'd noticed that anything the school had planned for them was conveniently placed nearby. Alistar basically answered for the both of them. The phrasing would've been pretty similar too.
@Roxy @whiters4
whiters4 — Today at 5:56 PM
”Great advice. Assume I failed and leave me behind if I’m not back in five minutes.” Alexus joked with a spin of his scythe, turning to align the compass on his bracelet with his current direction before beginning to walk. He’d probably lay down to die if he got lost in this place, forced to be alone until who knows what. He would end up wandering around longer than intended, but the weather weirdly kept changing and that was an obstacle on its own. Eventually, he stumbled across what he thought was a campsite, granted it was a big scant, having only a table and a man there. At the promise of answers, Alexus have a quick, ”Hold that thought.” and returned to his team. ”I found a guy up ahead that I wasn’t forced to fight. I think maybe he can help us out? This way please, ladies.” @Sinn @Roxy
Roxy — 09/29/2022
Alistar: Grinning and shaking her head at his reply, Alistar leaned against a tree. Alexus wasn't gone long before he came back and let them know he had found a guy that could help them. With a grunt, she pushed herself off the tree and followed after him. This was bound to be interesting. When they reached the campsite, the man was already shuffling a deck of cards. "fancy a game of cards? We can set the wager low if ye like?" The man asked the trio. Glancing at the other two, Alistar held up her hands not really the most fond of playing cards.
@whiters4 @Sinn
Sinn — 09/29/2022
Estelle gave Alexus a nod before he went off to venture. Knowing full well the school probably wouldn't let them leave if the team wasn't whole. But who knows, they're twisted that way. She rolled her shoulders around as she could feel her muscles getting stiff. No surprise after all the shit they were put through. Alexus returned shortly after he left and informed them he found "some guy". Estelle raised an eyebrow but decided not to question it. She followed Alexus as he took them where this guy was. A surprised expression painted her face. "Card game? Like the good ol' days out at sea. I'm down to play."
@Roxy @whiters4
whiters4 — 10/03/2022
Cards. Did it make sense? No. But had anything today. Alexus had gambled away his share of money, he had a brother to earn it back for him so why care, so cards wasn’t a deterrent- just confusing. ”Well if the prize is good, I’m not sure what you’d expect us to wager?” He was siding with Estelle, glancing around and motioning for Alistair to sit and rest. He would really be terrible and carrying anyone who was weak. Sitting at the table himself, he cracked his knuckles and motioned to the red head. Ladies first?”
@Roxy @Sinn
Roxy — 10/05/2022
Alistar: Giving a thumbs up to Alexus, she sighed and sat down against a tree. It was getting late and she was tired. It didn't help that she missed Drake, and that just irritated her. The man shuffling the cards sniggered at them while giving them all a once over. "I accept casino credits, and well, all manner of things. Do you have anything of interest?" Once the wager had been made and the opponent decided, the stranger dealt their hands with a grin.
@whiters4 @Sinn
FIGHT
Roxy — 09/05/2022
Alistar: Confused when they saw the other team, she glanced down at her watch as it dinged. Seeing Silas' name, she glanced up at him. "Guess you and I get to go the first round." Without much of a wait, the assassin launched herself at the man with a fist pulled back.
@Mob Boss Mudkip (Latke)
Sinn — 09/05/2022
Estelle looked at her opponent but not with an expression of worry or fear. She was ready now that the mental torture was shaken out of her. Her lips curled into a bit of a smile towards Tedrick. Someone she hadn't yet met but she has now. "This is all in good fun darling. Don't hold back on me. I can handle it."
@MissEiffel
MissEiffel — 09/06/2022
Tedrick looked back at the girl who she was supposed to... What? Fight? He rolled her eyes, another fearless being. At the beginning it was fun, now he was getting so tired of this. "Good fun?" After being hurt by a zombie dragon, he doubted that was the objective. So Tedrick turned into his monster form again, red eyes were now looking down, no expression since his face was now a skull "Can you handle this?" @Sinn
Jurlestia — 09/07/2022
Phobos rubbed his arm and sighed. While he was ready to fight, he thought it was pointless, maybe useless? But once they had gotten into range, this seemed forced. "No hard feelings either way." He said to his opponent. He couldn't be sure if he'd win or not, and was a little worried about using his powers here. It could effect his own teammates, so he'd have to be careful here. He had his tactical knife with him, so he'd have to see if he could manage just like this. Given that most people in this school had powers, he would have to try really hard here. @whiters4
Sinn — 09/07/2022
The smile remained on her face as she watched him transform. "I mean, since we're all trapped here, why not have a bit of fun? It would do us no good to be miserable the whole time, right?" Her gaze looked up as red eyes were on her. "Besides, I don't think another student caused that injury, hm?" His question was almost like a challenge. "I suppose there's one way to find out."
@MissEiffel
whiters4 — 09/07/2022
”Just don’t punch me in the face, kid, and we’ll chalk whatever happens up to the school, not to either of us.” Alexus sighed, less than pleased to have gotten stuck with someone so young. Imagine jumping a literal child! His teammates accepted what it was, and making the assumption they must be right about not needing to beat each other to death, Alex adjusted his bass knuckles, mumbled an apology, and dropped to the ground, and attempted to sweep a leg beneath the other male. @Jurlestia Hiiiii stitch~
MissEiffel — 09/08/2022
Under other circumstances, Tedrick would have agreed to her statement, but at that moment, it was a little difficult for him to have fun when his wing was still hurting. And even more after his transformation into his big menacing monster form, the girl still wasn't scared of him. Anyone was scared, he was now frustrated. "No...?" He was confused. If she knew that the wound was not made by a student, why was she confident that he would be able to hurt him? She wasn't a teacher as far as he knew. So she wanted to find out? Well, then they would do so. Tedrick roared and then threw a swat at the small woman with his big paw. @Sinn
Sinn — 09/09/2022
Finally the small talk ceased after a confused response. As amusing as it was, they weren't here for a chat. Perhaps afterwards they could if pride wasn't hurt too bad. Then again they were kind of forced to do this. Their battle began as he let out a gutteral roar. Estelle's eyes caught movement as he swung his big paw at her. It was large enough to see and prepare a dodge. Which she did as she hopped backwards. "Oh my, if that hit me that would've caused quite some damage, dearie." Trying to use this chance to start a mental connection with him.
@MissEiffel
Jurlestia — 09/09/2022
This was weak. He could use his powers, but his own team was to close by, and he doubted they could get far enough to where it wouldn't matter. "Alright then." Kid? How old was this guy even? Tedrick was some millions or whatever years old, guess it wasn't far to say this guy could be the same. It was quick, but Phobos wasn't going to easily be hit by a simple leg sweep. He flipped backwards once, planting his feet in the sand for a hold, pushed off and balled his fist up for a punch aimed center mass. @whiters4 (hiiiiiii! :D)
EriTanaka — 09/09/2022
@Mob Boss Mudkip (Latke)
This is a reminder. Further unannounced inactivity will result in a strike
Mob Boss Mudkip (Latke) — 09/09/2022
Silas blinked as he watch began to go off saying 'A New Challenger is approaching'. Before he could even question it, a rather exotic woman leaped out at him, throwing the first punch. He caught it with his chin and looked down at her. "That ain't very nice lass." he said as he shrugged off the blow. He inhaled and exhaled as he stepped back and put up his fists. "Now, we can begin" he said as he rushed her attempting to tackle her into a tree. @Roxy
MissEiffel — 09/10/2022
The girl was right, if he had hit her, he would have hurt her but she small and fast. He would be much faster if she was afraid, but no, that seemed like it was not going to be the case. Tedrick started to feel uncomfortable but he just shook it off, as he disappeared into the shadows. He quickly appeared behind her and tried his tactic again, swinging his paw again at her, aiming at her torso and he would connect this time. @Sinn (Handler gave me permission to hit!)
Roxy — 09/10/2022
Alistar: She hadn't expected his chin to hurt that much just from punching it. What the hell was he made of? She didn't even listen to his words, choosing instead to rush him again. This time though, he met her and with embarrassing ease, picked her up and had her back meeting a tree, and not in a fun way. Grunting, she brought an elbow down onto his back. "What the hell are you made out of?!" She screeched in pain.
Sinn — 09/10/2022
When she began to establish the mental connection with her opponent, it wasn't hard to tell that his brain was stirring. He was fighting her a bit until he disappeared. Fading off into the shadows from the nearby environment. Her guard quickly shot up as she searched around. It wasn't long until she had a feeling. A feeling that something or rather, someone was right behind her. Estelle turned around and saw Tedrick behind her. Before she could even think, his large paw swung at her. It connected this time and knocked the wind out of her. Even feeling the gash when she held her hand to the injury. It hurt like hell but she had to press on. She had her special someone to get back to. Now she was more determined as she tried to focus. Trying to push her way into his mentality. Letting her guard down at all would be costly.
@MissEiffel
Mob Boss Mudkip (Latke) — 09/10/2022
Silas caught the woman with ease, picking her up and running her into a tree as she brought an elbow down on his back. "Boy I wish we were doing this in a less... physical... No no... Different physical aspect" he commented as he grunted from having her elbow his back. He reeled back and attempted to slam his fist into her gut, the tree would shake violently and crack at the impact whether it hits or now. "Technically I'm carved from stone, but it's all flesh and bones love." He laughed. @Roxy
Roxy — 09/11/2022
Alistar: She had to laugh at his comment. ”Same. A more horizontal version would be preferable.” Saying that, she would put both hands on his back and shoved her pleasure ability into him at full force. While she knew not everyone here at Heartless reacted the way she expected, it could at least buy her some time. Which… this time it didn’t seem to. ”Fucking hell, stone?!” Sadly, because of the way he had pinned her to the tree, she couldn’t move out of the way when he punched her gut. Alistar saw white and black stars floating through her vision as she doubled over coughing up blood. This place pissed her off something terrible as she tried to brace herself against the tree and continue fighting, a hand covering her stomach.
whiters4 — 09/11/2022
Alexus should have remained mortal and aged like normal people do, that’d way he’d be enjoying retirement rather than fighting kids on a…wherever this was. Stupid bloodline curse. This was why he was never having kids. Quickly rebounding when his sweep didn’t work, the reaper disappeared into a very small form, a black cat, and ran between Phobo’s legs, transforming back and attempting an elbow into the male’s side. It seemed like the other fights we playing a far riskier game, but he wasn’t giving himself a chance to check if it meant leaving an opening to be attacked. ”How serious is this supposed to be, anyway?!” He questioned in exasperation. @Jurlestia
MissEiffel — 09/11/2022
The paw connected and he was about to charge again, when a flash of a distant memory appeared in his mind that made him stop "What the...?" It had been brief but it had caught him out of guard, why was he thinking about him right at that moment? After all those years? Tedrick shook the memory away and tried to focus again, now charging headfirst, attempting to cause now some damage with his antlers @Sinn
Sinn — 09/11/2022
Estelle finally began to break his mentality down. Squeezing her way through the cracks of his mind. Bringing about some memories he had hidden away and materializing them. Which seemed to have worked as he paused for a moment. But he shook his head, trying to break that connection. "Shit.." she mumbled to herself as she saw him utilizing his antlers. If it comes down to it, she's going to have to bring back the days of pirate fist fights. Whatever it took. Focusing again, she pushed back harder into his mind. Taking a couple steps back in the meantime. An attempt to put some space between should he charge.
@MissEiffel
Jurlestia — 09/12/2022
Phobos landed and pushed off his foot just as he landed to dodge the elbow. He slid to a stop and huffed, "Don't know, seems one of us has to go down though." Transforming into a cat? Phobos might as well just be human with no powers with his powers not being able to be used like this. He wanted to make a few marks and given how they forced this onto them, there had to be a reason. He dashed forward, when he was in a decent range he kicked up sand to hopefully delay Alexus from transforming or moving, just enough to ram his shoulder into him. @whiters4
Mob Boss Mudkip (Latke) — 09/12/2022
Silas laughed at the woman. "Then we should meet up in a better location to perform the horizontal tango" he told her as he felt both of her hands on his back. He felt... Something indescribable, he felt his knees buckle a bit but there was something overriding it. Severe pain. Maybe getting the skin burned off his arm was a secret blessing in disguise. "You can get a better look during the tango" he smirked as his punch landed. She coughed up blood meaning the strike was a direct hit. He sighed softly as he brought his hand to her neck and pinned her to the tree. "Look, I'm not lookin' to kill... just tap out and surrender" he told the woman as he began to apply pressure. @Roxy
MissEiffel — 09/13/2022
The monster charged towards the small girl but then he stopped. In front of him there wasn't Estelle anymore, there was... Sam. Samuel was Evanore's grandson, the one he couldn't protect from the war. Tedrick stopped and shook his head. This was an illusion, nothing more than that, Sam was dead and he had been dead since a long time ago. When he opened his eyes, he saw Estelle again. It had been brief but the image had been clear and he was not happy about it. "Are you doing this?! Stop" He warned her, in his deep voice. Angry, he charged at her again, this time opening his mouth and snapping at her leg, teeth sinking into flesh. @Sinn
Sinn — 09/14/2022
Her opponent stopped dead in his tracks. The efforts finally kicking in as she pulled memories from the depths of his mind. Some man named Sam, who seemed to have had an impact on his life. The connection wavered only slightly. Enough for him to roar out and charge. Sharp teeth sunk into her leg. Estelle cried out in pain as her nerves were on fire and not in a good way. A hand clenched into a fist as she connected some punches. "Let..me..go" she said between hits. Until she grabbed both sides of his jaw. Using all her strength to try and pry him off her leg. Then she grabbed the sides of his head. Looking him dead in the face as she intensified the hallucinations. Pulling out all the stops with such focus. Right now, she couldn't afford to weaken.
@MissEiffel
whiters4 — 09/14/2022
What makes you think so, your asshole partners beating on the women?” Alexus replied sarcastically. Of course one of them had to go down, it wasn’t like Alistair or Estella knew anything themselves; this had to be happening because the school wanted fodder. If they could abduct random people, why the hell should it matter if a few died? This was just a culling. Glancing at his team mates, both from which blood had been drawn, he gasped as he looked back to find sand flying in his face. Asshole! Alexus wheezed, landing promptly on the ground as the wind was knocked out of him. Alexus flipped his legs towards himself, rolling in a reverse crunch to his feet and changing his scythe into its titular form. He twirled it in his right hand, curved it to meet his left hand, and began circling the other male, swinging it to cut and limbs and body mass. @Jurlestia
Roxy — 09/14/2022
Alistar: Laughing at him, she gripped his hand gasping when he held her throat against the tree. "Normally I like being choked, but now.. Now you're just pissing me off." Inhaling slightly, she raised her legs and while holding his arm brought both of them towards his side in an attempt to dislocate his arm.
MissEiffel — 09/15/2022
The monster didn't feel the punches, at all, he was angry and he would use force if it was what it took to end this fight. But then the girl grabbed his head, making him look at her eyes. Again, there was someone from his past, but it wasn't Sam, but Lewis this time. Tedrick immediately opened his mouth, letting her leg go as he stepped back. He knew it wasn't real. As much as he would have loved the opportunity to see his past lover again, he didn't want that to happen like that. Not in pain, not afraid of him. "I told you to stop!" He shook again his head, trying to wipe his muzzle with his paw, but the image was still burning bright in his mind. @Sinn
Mob Boss Mudkip (Latke) — 09/15/2022
Silas laughed at her as she grasped his arm, stating that he was now pissing her off. "Well that is a damn shame... Maybe we can have the better choking fun next time" he told her as he watched her raise her legs and bring them to his side, attempting to do something but he couldn't think of what she was trying. He removed her back from the tree and quickly swung her around like a rag doll, ruining the angle she had and applying more pressure. "Not trying to piss you off, just make you submit" he stated as he stared at her before slamming her down onto the ground to knock the wind out of her. @Roxy
Sinn — 09/15/2022
Thankfully, this seemed to have worked a bit better. Though he didn't have a human face, she could still sense the emotion through the connection. He was mentally scrambling to see what was real and what wasn't. The grip on her leg finally released. Blood spurted as the teeth pulled back. Again he yelled for her to stop. But she continued her relentless mental assault. Distracting him enough to swing her leg upward. Landing a kick to his chin.
@MissEiffel
Jurlestia — 09/15/2022
Phobos tilted his head and raised an eyebrow, "You probably haven't had anything to ever worry about." He thought this guy was being judgey, he wasn't sure about the sarcasm, he was still no all that used to sarcasm as a whole. He knew they had to fight, so fight he did. He felt that he couldn't make headway against this guy easily. When it came to fighting, he should use everything at his disposal. He was able to knock him down, which gave him time to grab his dagger as his opponent was now using his scythe. For a bit, Phobos was able to block or maneuver through the onslaught. He got hit a few times, keeping it to scratches on his leg and arms. He had to get out of it. He waited, analyzed, and right when he thought it prudent, He hurled his dagger at him, timing it so it would hit him while he circled. @whiters4
MissEiffel — 09/17/2022
The kick in the chin, that he did feel it. When was the last time that a human had actually managed to hit him? So fully aware of his surroundings now, he charged furiously at her, hitting her successfully with his antlers this time. But when he looked down again, there was someone else instead of Estelle "Evanore... no... wait..." She wasn't Evanore, she wasn't his witch. The girl was still doing it and every time he was just getting more furious. So, in an attempt to make her stop, he raised his paw, ready to stomp her. @Sinn
whiters4 — 09/17/2022
”Are you defending what’s happening right now? You’re cool with fighting because some nameless sadist said to?” Alexus scoffed, unsure why judging the circumstances was wrong. Why were they playing into their hands? ”Sure, I’m glad this isn’t normal for me.” it was good that the majority of the emotions attached to his mortality were dead like the rest of him, he didn’t need to fight while annoyed at those who let themselves be led by the nose. He wanted this to be over with, spinning his scythe to deflect the dagger coming his way. He thrust the staff end forward to jab Phobos in the stomach, then attempt a deeper cut down center mass. @Jurlestia
Sinn — 09/17/2022
It seemed making him look at her have it a bigger nudge. Even the kick in the chin gave her a bit of an advantage. Now that his mind was full of rage, it would be easier to break the walls down. Though she forgot for a split second the physical endeavor. As she was struck with his antlers and sent down to the ground. Estelle didn't give up though, she continued to endure. Tedrick even started to see yet another face. But this one went by the name of Evanore. Her eyes flicked over to the movement of his paw. Before he could make contact, she rolled to the side. She brought up her leg, kicking him in the side of his. Repeating this action but with more strength behind the previous one. Perhaps if she got him focused on physical, she could chistle at the mental.
@MissEiffel
MissEiffel — 09/18/2022
The small woman rolled, making his paw to stomp on the ground. Before he could look around, he felt a kick on his side. Startled, he moved his big body around but as he did so, he got another kick, stronger than the one before. He was baffled, of how she could kick with that kind of strength, since one of her legs was hurt. So he turned into his human form again, that would reduce the size difference and that might help him. But the pain was still there, and Tedrick wasn't used to feel pain for this long amount of time. That made him angrier, so still enraged, he disappeared into the shadows and appeared again this time at her side, just to kick her forcefully in her already bleeding leg. However, as he did so, he saw Lewis again and that made him close his eyes and stumble back "You are not real!" @Sinn
Roxy — 09/19/2022
Alistar: This was humiliating. She was one of the greatest assassins where she was from but here she consistently was being overrun in fights. Clawing at his arm, she could feel her vision blurring even as she kicked at him. Feeling him swing her around, she saw spots floating in front of her eyes only to be mirrored by the explosion of pain as she was slammed into the ground. The last bit of air was forced out of her lungs in a growled curse. "Fuck you." Alistar's body went limp as she passed out from lack of oxygen.
Sinn — 09/19/2022
She grit her teeth through the pain as she kicked. Now having to readjust where she stood due to his body moving around. Before she could wind up another, she held. Her opponent transformed from beast to human. When he finished his transformation he disappeared into the shadows. "Should've kicked again.." she mumbled to herself. Eyes scanned around and just as she saw a figure. Said figure kicked her injured leg. Which brought her down to a knee as she cried out a bit in pain. Estelle turned her attention to look him dead in the eyes. Giving full force to slam his mentality back. Forcing him to see someone else, causing him to stumble back and yell. She took this opportunity to rise to her feet. Using her uninjured leg, she put quite a bit of power behind the boot to the abdomen.
@MissEiffel
Jurlestia — 09/19/2022
"That's been my whole life, it's hard for me to differentiate." Something that Alexus wouldn't understand was that Phobos's whole life was fighting because someone told him to. Probably a few sadist scientist. "Keep it that way." He was still working off his normal and if this guy hated it, then he couldn't blame him. Fast, he was fast and reacted fast. Phobos wasn't quick enough to stop the staff end from hitting him, but he grabbed onto it to prevent extra movement. Alexus was also strong, so he managed to maneuver a bit to keep the slash from going to deep, but he was hit. He jumped back and flipped backwards, placing his hands down in an attempt to kick Alexus upward. The pain would be present, but he's worked through worse. @whiters4
Mob Boss Mudkip (Latke) — 09/21/2022
Silas felt the clawing of the woman at his arm, it hurt for sure but submitting to the pain… slowly her clawing and licking got weaker and the blunt force of hitting the grown caused a ‘Fuck you’ from the woman as she passed out. He let go of her throat and double checked to make sure she was still breathing as his watch alerted him that he had won. He brought his hand to her neck as an eerie grey light healed her wounds but didn’t remove the pain. ”There we go…” he sighed softly.
MissEiffel — 09/21/2022
Tedrick was distracted. He had closed his eyes in order to not see Lewis anymore. Under other circumstances, he would have loved to see him again, but in this case, seeing him just hurt him, more because he knew that he wasn't real. The girl took advantage of his state, kicking him again and this time in the abdomen. He stumbled back, taken by surprise. Transforming had been a bad idea. So, like a glitch, he transformed bad, just to turn into human again. Getting his illusion up had always been so easy, like breathing, but due to physical and emotional pain, Tedrick was losing it. He folded into himself but kept his eyes closed, he preferred to be attacked again instead of seeing dead people again. @Sinn
Sinn — 09/22/2022
The kick was enough to cause him to stumble back a bit. She could see the physical and mental pain radiating from him. Watching him close up took her by surprise. He had been adamant to keep fighting against her. But now it seemed like he was giving up. Something she wasn't used to seeing. Estelle wanted to give some payback for the wound on her leg. At the same time, she felt kind of sorry for him. Perhaps this was her victory? She let out a deep sigh before approaching. This was a bit risky with all things considered. Her hand raised out to him. Gesturing for a handshake if he were to take it. "You put up one hell of a fight."
@MissEiffel
whiters4 — 09/22/2022
Christ. Alexus sighed. This was to be expected, it had already been obvious that this place snatched people from all walks of life. ”Here’s some advice from an older man: revolution thrives beyond the doorstep of complacency and acceptance.” Seemed like thinking for himself was the best solution for the kid here, not that Alexus would make it his business after this. His counter landed where intended but the cut didn’t hit with as much force as it could, as Phobos had grabbed the end of his scythe. Considering it could slice through any matter, he wasn’t ungrateful his opponent was fast on his feet. Nevertheless, Alexus had been training for the better part of thirty or forty years- he’d only dragged it out hoping it’d end before anything serious had to be done. Bending a few degrees at the last second was enough to dodge the kick that would’ve launched him, yet the reaper didn’t use any openings to cause life threatening damage. Instead, he attacked with the staff end again, continuing to aim center mass since the kid was so swift on his feet. Sliding his grip more towards the blade, he could hit with the blunt end and cover himself with the sharper half. @Jurlestia
MissEiffel — 09/22/2022
But the strike never came. Instead, he heard her voice in a condescending tone, mocking him that he had put on a fight. Furious but without opening his eyes, he responded "Save your fucking words. Don't you ever dare to get close to me or I will take your fucking eyes out" And after saying this he spat on the floor and turned around, the reluctance of opening his eyes and have hallucinations again was the only thing keeping him from an attempt of murder. The level of despise was indescribable and unbearable, so emotionally hurt and physically in pain, he walked away and took the defeat. @Sinn
Jurlestia — 09/25/2022
Phobos would have to put what Alexus said to the back of his mind for now. It would harbor there until he had time to think about the words. He probably hated that he sort of went along if he had to guess. His kick barley missed, not to shocking. With the position he was currently in, he had no room to dodge and took the full force of the staff end flying backwards and through the sand. He groaned and could see Tedrick walking away. He stumbled to his feet. "I think that's it." He knew when he was beat. Unless he could use his powers, he wasn't going to make to much ground. "You're welcome." He said, gently pointing up at Alexus's face before retreating to follow Tedrick.

Event Check In Post 1
This was not exactly how the unknowing goddess expected to wake up this morning. Face down on the ground, in a room full of mirrors. Thankfully the people that were nearby were people that she knew. Alexus and Estelle were just as clueless about what was going on as she was. It worried her that Drake wasn’t there, and she saw some of his creatures in the mirrors… were they trying to come through? Was that something they could do now? Could they attach themselves to her and come after her if he wasn’t around? That was something she would have to ask him later. For now she focused on trying to escape this mirror place they had found themselves in. Hopefully they would be able to get out without encountering one of the creepy ass monsters in the mirrors.
Drake Barlow
Drake woke up confused on a beach and missing Alistar instantly. He wasn't sure what or why he had been put on a beach, but figured it was some nonsense the school was putting him through. As if to be proven right he was partnered with other students who were also considerably confused by the whole situation. For Drake though he worried about it being like past events and if it would bring out some poor parts of him like some of the old ones did. For now he would try to figure things out with his team and the first puzzle was a note in the bottle with a series of numbers. After trying a couple of things him and bunzo would put the numbers into their watches that they didnt have before only to see people precious to them and told where they were. Drake wasnt about to stand around when it seemed like Alistar needed help so he went off to go find her. It was obvious seeing alistar that way shook Drake in a way he wasnt use to anymore and it had him a bit all over in his head. What if this place hurt her? What if it killed her? These thoughts and a few others that were making him both worried and angry kept coming to the forefront of his mind.
Estelle woke up in a dark room with a dizzy feeling in her head. She had no recollection of how she got there. But she wasn't alone there either. One person she figured out was with her was Alistar. Yet even Alistar wasn't the only one there either. Creatures lurked in the dark with them. Creatures who had abilities to make even Estelle dizzy. A third voice appeared but there wasn't time for pleasantries just yet. Alistar took off and she led the third person out. She was informed that his name was Alexus now that the three were together. In the corner of her eye, something caught her attention. When she saw what it was, her heart sank and she felt sick. The image of her lover, Bunzo, in a state she never wants to see. Battered, beaten, and dragged around every corner just when she was within reach.
His first school ’field trip,’ and Alexus was oh so fortunate to almost immediately find that it wasnt one of the good ones. As mad rare as it was, he would have fully preferred to sit through one of those rumored dating shows than this. Waking up in a dark place with two full bodied women was supposed to be a good thing! The reaper couldn’t so much as wrap his head around the area in which they’d waken -a fun house full of mirrors- before the danger they were in was highlighted by Alistar taking off down one of the hallways. He and Estelle, as he’d come to learn, weren’t far behind, running away from something she called a spectre. Which was? Evidently, something that could show him images of his wife. That shouldn’t be haunting, but it was. Almost like his sins were crawling up his back. The reaper was far from the only one to suffer, that much was apparent— was it just him, or did they all seem connected? It could just be the effects from the mirror, a sight of Rylee would only naturally leave him nauseated and aching in the head. How would they get out of here when everything they saw betrayed them?

Thankfully the trio was able to get out of the weird mirror maze. Of course, the school didn’t give them a break at all though and instantly made their watches start beeping at them. Glancing at the watch, Alistar had discovered that it wanted them to fight another nearby team one on one. This was a disaster. Really just worried that the creatures were going to find Drake and take him back to that hell, and now she had to fight some weird dude from another team. Finding the team had taken some time but when they did, they all stood around for a bit until who was fighting who was decided. Estelle seemed about as thrilled by all of this as she was. Alexus she really couldn’t tell. Either way she was up against a very delicious looking blonde… Did she have a thing for blondes? She really couldn’t tell but there was just something about him that made her wary. Maybe it was the way he carried himself like he was all that and a box of chocolates.
They finally escaped the maze and had a moment to breathe. But the break was soon short lived. Their watches lit up as they saw their next challenge. It was a student vs student encounter. Something they weren't expecting after something like the fun house. Once they arrive at the location, they come across the team they will be facing. Team 12 which consists of Silas, Tedrick and Phobos. Alistar is to face Silas, Estelle is up against Tedrick and Alexis is against Phobos. Now it's time to find out how the members hold up against another team.
People were resourceful, even if Alexus wasn’t used to relying on them. They had options for getting out of here that each person could help pull off: Alex to provide the light to see by, Alistar to hang onto them and make sure they stayed together, and Estelle to fight the spectre off. The reaper couldn’t much concentrate on his job with someone holding his hand. It brought him…icky feelings. Was he so hopeless as to forget how to label emotions? It wasn’t the nervous discomfort of a teenage boy holding the hand of a girl he likes, even his mind couldn’t stay in the gutter at a time like this, it was something else, something that made him snatch his hand back as soon they were out of the funhouse, finally. They didn’t get to express their exasperation before they discovered the watches on their wrists, which were currently alerting them to a fight on the horizon.
They had to battle one another? What was the point in that? Alexus wasn’t interested in needle violence, only slightly relieved by his peer’s certainly that no one would need to kill anyone else here. He recognized one man from his first day at the academy, the other two, the youngest of which he was tasked to battle, weren’t individuals he’d met personally if they hadn’t signed up for his class. The reaper didn’t even ask his opponent what his name was, nor offer his own as the kid promised there would be no hard feelings. Of course there wouldn’t, they weren’t doing this by choice. So long as the boy didn’t hit him in the face, bygones would be such. Alexus was the first to make an attempt at sweeping his opponent off his feet, not suspecting it’d be so easy.

the mystery would continue as their third member would be switched out with a person called Gwyn. He didnt seem to be antoganistic but also oddly aloof to the whole thing but Drake didnt really have enough brain power to focus on him. As if prompted by their new teammates arrival Drake's watch would show him a scene of Alistar in Distress while a haze came over his mind that he couldnt shake as he stared at the scene. Panic and rage filled him more then ever as he would share annoyance in their scenario with Bunzo as the two rushed off to try and save those they cared about. Drake was feeling old and darker parts of him trying to grab at his thoughts and influence his actions as if trying to tempt him to use his powers that connected him to silent hill. Luckily drake had control of himself for the time being and would not risk the safety of those around him who were trying to help him save what he cared about. Drake didnt care if it was just because they were also helping those they cared about as well because it just meant they were helping each other in this case. The group soon found their precious people and Drake wasted no time in jumping into action to save Alistar. He had cut his palms and made blood swords which he used against the hippos that were seemingly placed to eat those tied just in the middle of them. Those in his group dealt with some but when they got close it was shown that their people here had been fakes and taunts from the event happened which only angered Drake more. Their watcehs beeped showing them a location and as they followed it would lead to a maze where they are currently going through at the fastest possible way they can manage as to not waste time in saving those they care about.

All that and a box of chocolates. Yep that’s totally what Silas turned out to be. Alistar couldn’t help but playfully banter a bit during their fight but in the end, the man just pissed her off. Silas threw her around like a rag doll. Anytime she tried to fight back, it was frustratingly batted away. Normally she quite enjoyed being choked but in this case, she just wanted to rip his balls off. Embarrassingly, she passed out from lack of oxygen and ended their fight. Worse for her was that he healed her wounds, but the pain from them still radiated through her body. Sure, she knew who Silas was and now she had reason to yell at him when they got back. He didn’t have to go so hard on her, not in a fight anyway.
As the fight began, Tedrick immediately shifted. Throwing Estelle for a loop but she tried her best to preserve it. Trying to put forth effort to squeeze her way into his mind. She was then attacked by his large paw. Knocking the wind out of her and made her lose focus for a moment. Again she tried to dig deep. There was some resistance. But it also resulted in her leg being used as a chew toy. She'd try to punch or pry but it didn't work. Instead she forced him to look at her. Bringing about someone from his past caused him to release her leg. Estelle took the opportunity and kicked up under his chin. Yet another person was brought out and it angered him more. She managed to dodge the stomp of his paw. Taking yet another chance to kick. He disappeared soon after and reappeared at her side. His leg kicking her in the bleeding wound he had caused. Bringing her down to her knee. This time, Estelle brought Lewis into vision. While he stumbled back and was distracted, she planted the bottom of her boot on his abdomen. Her opponent then transformed back to a human. Crumpling into himself and Estelle extended a hand in good sportsmanship. Unfortunately, Tedrick didn't see it this way. He refused the handshake, threatened her and left.
He was right, the boy was spry and this fight wasn’t going to be a light scuffle they could walk away from. He didn’t understand why, yet, but considering no rules had been given about the nature of their fight, Alexus wasn’t surprised to look over and see that Alistair and Estelle had both already been injured in their fights- but quite a bit, too. Their opponents weren’t thinking like his group initially had, the same went for the young man who’d gotten the first hit. It was a cheap trick with sand in his eyes and an elbow to the stomach, nothing serious, just annoying. Even as Alexus openly questioned why everyone was playing into being pitted against one another, he merely revived feedback about this being normal. Normal? Murighen had it easy, getting to turn a blind eye to the fuitality of the human experience and the curse of being alive. Alexus couldn’t even appreciate being death himself, if he’d never inherited this blight, he wouldn’t be in a place like this. Shit like accepting savage concepts of cutting down one’s fellow man was probably why all those with the curse before him had chosen to leave their consciousness in his scythe…His scythe. Should he let someone better at fighting handle all this? Knowing now that the kid would seriously hurt him if it came down to it, Alexus started fighting more seriously, wanting this all done and over with. It seemed like he could handle it himself.

the maze hadnt taken long to mess with them and drake wondered if that was due to them trying to b-line it through. Either way soon machines that reminded him of something he had been shown that cleaned rugs appeared and suddenly attacked them. Drake wasnt even sure at first if he was suppose to attack them or not till they almost hurt him and the group. The machines though were dealt with rather easily but Drake wondered how complex and expensive these machines were and if he should feel bad for destroying them but his thoughts quickly returned to finding Alistar even with thoughts of her growing faintly foggy. The next hurdle would show up for his group and an electric corridor stood in there way. Drake offered to use his blood even if it may not have worked but it seemed a plan with bunzo's fancy shield was what they went with and it worked out really well. Drake had to admit with his partners of bunzo and gwen he was sure they would not have too difficult of a time in dealing with maze which had helped him keep an even head in the situation. Yet again they came across another trap but this time it was lasers and thinking quickly Drake brought up his control over his blood making a reflective surface around them so that the lasers would be refracted. His teammates agreed and they continued through Drake focusing on using his power and with caution got them through the hall of deadly lasers. Drake did however feel somewhat drained as it had taken a lot of focus and blood to do that and even with most of it returning into his body the time without it wore on him. He hoped the next trial wouldnt be so difficult only to find he and his group weightless suddenly in a zero gravity room it seemed.

The rest of the evening after the fight was irritatingly slow. Thankfully Alexus had volunteered to go off and find a path for them while Estelle and Alistar caught their breath. Following after him when he came back to get them, they found a man who was willing to play cards. Alistar held up her hands in surrender, not caring to gamble with the man. Settling herself against a tree while the others had set up to play against him, she had fallen asleep.
Alexus had taken the kid out- Not killed him or anything, really he’d only left him with slightly more than superficial cuts, especially compared to what his teammates had done. Out of nowhere, they woke up on the beach once more, the other team no where to be found. They didn’t even bother discussing what had just happened and Alexus volunteered to check out what was around next. This seemed like a roulette of bullshit for today so why not lean into it, the day was almost over, something had to end soon. What he found was shockingly mundane: a man at a table shuffling cards. He wanted to play a game and alluded to having answers for the reaper and the group. So, he brought back Estelle and Alistar, the goddess reincarnate opting out if the game and sitting aside to rest while he volunteered to watch Estelle play first.
And out of nowhere, Alexus felt the pull of teleportation. He was back at the school. He’d really like some answers but…Wasn’t looking like he was getting those tonight. Er- he looked at his wrist watch as he transformed his scythe into their titular brass knuckle form. He wasn’t getting answers this morning, nor did he want to try. He started walking, still a sleepless being, and his wounds healing just minutes after he reappeared. What the fuck was he supposed to do with everything that happened?

With Gwyn's help the group moved ever onward towards the end of the maze. Drake wanted to get out but couldn't remember what he was after in the maze. The mroe th tried to remember the more fuzzy his mind seemed with everything. The group would then come across the exit but not before getting some fancy weapons from the maze that Gwyn's clones found. The group attacked and defeated the sentries and entered the room they had been guarding. In it there was a hologramn of someone that made his heart race. Walking over he would touch the hologram only to have his memories of Alistar return to him rage filling him that they had been taken to begin with. Drake though realized he needed to calm down and was leaving with his party when their watches played a message. Their enemy awaited in a tower with what sounded like a dragon and Drakes holy weapon would transform in that moment to be a knights longsword. The group left to fight their battle along with others who headed to the tower and with the might of many brought down their enemies. Soon though Drakes watch began beeping and the familiar feeling of being teleported came over him.
