Murder Game VI: Fusion

[Atomyk]

Jeffery's eyes lit up like lights on a Christmas tree when he saw Cole use his powers. If he could get this gene from the man, and return home, he might be able to save any remaining magical creatures and supernatural beings still alive.

"You have the gene," started Jeffery as he lifted his hand.

"Have you ever wanted to be human again? Or become something entirely different?" questioned Jeffery.

@Emperor of Gallifrey

"I am human. Or, well--" Exasperated, he let out a heavy breath. "Once, I wished I wasn't like this, but I came to realize it was necessary. I made a decision to use these powers to help others, and I've never regretted it. I saved millions of people by being a Conduit, so I don't want to be anything else. I've been called a freak, or even a demon, but what they say doesn't matter. I'm taking this tour so that I can save even more people."

"Speaking of which..." He looked to Threepio, and demonstrated his power once again. He maintained a ball of electricity in his palm, holding it like a precious object. "I wouldn't say I 'healed' her, exactly. I used my powers to tap into her nervous system. I managed to accelerate for own natural healing process-- it's not something I think should be used on the same person too often, but..." Cole paused, closing his fist around the electric ball. He'd tried to heal Trish from the brink of death, but unfortunately his powers couldn't prevent the inevitable. "But if someone is too far gone, I can't help them. I also can't do anything for the diseased."

Being lost for a while due to the new landscape, Tails finally arrived to the Fuse facility in his plane.

Upon entering into the Welcoming Room, he meets the Cat. After hearing the options that you can do while waiting from Cat, he decides to go to the library to study up on this place and of course, the interesting material known as Fuse, and what secrets it beholds.

 

[Ellya]

"Heh, you still owe me one." Arya remarked sarcastically, a girl that has clearly been forced to mature over the years in her experiences of the civil and political discord that reigns supreme in Westeros. "And don't worry about it, a'ye, I'd probably be wavin around Needle like a git if I woke up seeing this band of misfits." the Stark declared comically, a soft chuckle escaping her lips, wiping a bit of dried blood off of them with the sleeves of her matted blouse. It had been awhile since Arya had actually been outfitted in more comfortable, fresh clothes, yet that was something eerily alluring about the rags she wore. In a way, it symbolized in her mind the girl's overall evolution and escaping the medieval social boundaries that bounded her to be some frilly noblewoman who would eventually marry off some lord at some point.

I'm the lord now...Arya mentally declared, blinking her wolfish eyes as Ellie dragged her by the sleeve away from the main group of the lobby. Flinching, glancing back at the others, the petite tomboy looked at the other brunette, noting Ellie's timid nature hastily evaporating. Hearing her words, the stoic-haired teenager stood straight up, hearing that distinct buzzing in her ear as she felt the uncontrollable urge to rub the back of her neck. If Ellie's eyes was keen enough, there would be an eerily deep yet faint scar running along the base of Arya's neck. Wincing, the princess stripped of her titles shook her head, devolving into a small fit of coughs.

"Ack, bloody hells, sorry." Arya started, spitting into a nearby trash can and panting a little. "Air is too damn dry, a-anyways...I'll keep a lookout Ellie, I'm not some frilly princess from the South." Arya pridefully boasted with a toothy, pearly white grin, patting the red-shirted archer girl on the shoulder. "We Starks have always had it rough, a'ye, it is my bloodline to endure...I just hope that your one of the people I can trust in this hellhole." Arya softly remarked, the faintest hints of a blush arising on her cheeks, although arguably barely noticeable.

"That, or I'll give ya props...it has been a fairly convincing lie so far, eh?"

@Jenny @Verite @Atomyk @Jeremi @Emperor of Gallifrey

Ellie stared at Arya for a few moments. After just having told the girl she shouldn't trust anyone, she herself was starting to hesitate a little bit. What if Arya was one of the traitors? What if, much like Ellie, she had been chosen because no one would suspect a sweet little girl? "And why should I trust you?" she rudely blurted out, but quickly regretting that decision. She bit her lips, squeezed her eyes shut and looked away for a second. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just... Uuuuuugh!" She squatted down and grabbed two fistfuls of her own hair, pulling on it while groaning, standing up again when that was over.

"Okay..." she said in a much calmer voice, stepping closer to Arya and wrapping an arm around her neck as if they've been the best of friends for years. "Okay, here's what we'll do... You tell me if you're out to kill us... and I'll tell you if I am. But you gotta be honest! Neither of us is gonna make it through this thing without a person we can really trust, okay? So, I'll tell you, you'll tell me, and then we'll just go get some things to eat and you can tell me what's up with that weird cough of yours, okay? So..." Letting go of the young Stark, she took a step back, spread her arms for a second and then let them drop to her side again, standing up straight. "Considering I've been all alone for the last fucking lifetime or something, and no one coulda made any deals with me or blackmailed me or any of that shit... I'm not out to kill you."

She then stood there silently, awaiting Arya's answer. A short pause followed, and before the girl could answer, Ellie quickly added. "I seriously hope you're not gonna kill me now because that would be so fucking embarrassing..."

 

[Khan of the Mardu]

"At least I'm not flirting with a prepubescent squid child" she says with a sneer "And I'll have to know, my mother raised the 13 of us boys and girls by herself, because she was a hard working woman, alright, don't you talk shit about my mother" she frowns and scoffs the man, going back to typing, while muttering something blasphemous under her breath

@The Pimp Tactician

Naoki glared at the woman, "I'm not a pedophile, you idiot. I'm not flirting with her at all, and besides, if I was, it's kind of my job now if you believe in any of the major religions. You know, tempting demons and all that?" With a playful smirk, he rubbed his chin as though he was thinking, "Yes, a hard-worker indeed if she had thirteen children. Tell me, at what time did her legs open and when did she close them?"​

 

[Gummi Bunnies]

When she told everyone to be quiet, Pietro ran in a blur, appearing next to her. "Shhhhh", he said, with his index finger to his mouth.

He turned to her. "I'm Pietro. Or Peter. Either one is okay. Nice to meet you."

Then he went back quickly as he could to the computer.

A surprised expression appeared on the librarian's face, causing her to look to her side to where she heard Pietro speak to her. Well, not long before he went straight back to that strange "computer."
​

Ika cocked up an eyebrow at Naoki "See you said it again. Your 'crown'? Squid man, do you have a crown or not!?" She then shifted her eyes slowly to Patchouli, keeping quiet as she introduced herself "Calm down, Pastaouli! No need to get sassy, we're all friends here!" The girl, having no filter of what right to do or what wrong to do most of the time, then gave the girl a big hug. When she finally released, she stroked her chin with a tentacle, putting her hands on her hips and shooting up the stanky leg again "Well, I'm not a sea monkey! I just appeared out of the ocean one day! Like a miracle or whatever. Well, then a bunch of crazy stuff happened! I became tiny, then I was fed shrimp by a bunch of creepy jabronies(hulkhoganbrother), then I was a waitress for a bit, now I'm here for some reason!" When she thought about getting here, she then thought about those two soldiers again..How they both walked off...She then worried, a scared expression suddenly showing up on her face. Are they dead?...Well, they very well could be. Ripped to shreds by animals, caught in the line of fire, or worse!..Or y'know, falling off the bridge which was also a possibility. A tint of blue appeared on her face "Now that I think about it..." Tears formed at her eyes "I kinda wanna go home despite how cine this place is...It's really weird how we're suddenly offered all of this, don't you think? None of us paid! Or at least I didn't pay." She put her hand on her chest gesturing to herself, looking around the room." Ika blinked at Naoki, tilting her head "Fuse?..Was that mentioned in that weird speech that cat made? I..Wasn't paying attention, just worrying about..Stupid stuff." She rubbed the back of her neck, blushing.

She didn't have much comment for the whole response that the little girl Ika had randomly given her, especially the hug. Well, she was quite used to this kind of behavior coming from the "dirty little secret" of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, so this wasn't exactly new to her. However, the subject immediately shifted to one focusing on the Fuse. The very thing that caught the attention of her friend, and the main reason why Patchouli was here in the first place.
​

"No, see, I'm using crown as a figure of speech. It's just another way to say my position or throne, okay?" Naoki blew out a quiet sigh. He knew Ika wouldn't ever understand, and he had best give up on any further attempts. Besides, Fuse was now the subject and an important subject it was, "Oh right, see, from what I can gather, this group if you can call it anything but a cult apparently worships something called Fuse. Using allows one to obtain extraordinary powers, and so it's seen as a god by them or something," Naoki waved off that detail, not really caring about an order that would be dead once they finished with the tour, "Basically, I'm just looking for ways to become more powerful. There have been threats to my kingdom recently and I may need the boost eventually."​

"If it had sustained a... cult in such a manner and has established this tour in the first place, this... "Fuse" is possibly of great importance," the violet-haired girl spoke, diligently writing notes into her journal. This was certainly the type of information that she was sent here for in the first place, no doubt about it.

As for the rowdy female cursing out, Patchouli let out an annoyed sigh. She honestly couldn't stand people like that, which is why for majority of her life she refrains from leaving the mansion or even her library.

~Prologue~
"The Waiting Room"​

Ah the Fuse Collection facility, such a wonderful place, isn't it? Sure it's a bit covered in jungle, but hey, what would you expect from it being on an abandoned Jungle island for the past 20 years?
You arrived at the entrance: a narrow bridge that spans a ravine below. For whatever reason, whether it be fate, coincidence, or mere reason. You decide to partake in The Prophet's first ever Tour, where he will show you the various parts of the facility, and afterwards, bestow upon you enough fuse, power, and riches to call yourself a deity.
But first, you must take The Tour.

You are greeted at the entrance by several cultist soldiers who look very eager to see you. They guard you across the bridge into the facility, escorting you into the Welcoming Room as if you were the President or something like that, upon making your way into the Welcoming Room, the guards nod you off and make their way to the next tourist.

The Welcoming Room looked astonishing...or at least, not what you would expect based on the looks from the outside, but, looks may be deceiving....
You walk up the stairs, and you notice some cat-person reading books just ahead of you, he stops his reading to look at you...
View attachment 65139
"Welcome to The First Tour, I will be your tour guide for the wild ride in a factory, woo hoo. The Prophet is setting it up for you all, so please, be a bit patient, also, we are waiting on the other Tourists so keep this in mind as well, thank you."
He hands you a coded map, along with what the codes mean.

Alright welcome to the start of The Murder Games VI!! We are still waiting on some more 'Tourists' to join us. But for now, you may enjoy the amenities given to you in the Welcoming Room! ['DESIGN' in code]

There are several things you may do here, such as:​

1. Go back downstairs, and enjoy the endless amount of food at the buffet there!​
2. For those of you who are intelligent/Quiet, you may walk behind Librarian Cat to go to the Library.​
3. You may also continue to pester Librarian Cat, if that's what you wish.​
4. Alternatively, if you are really good at hacking things (or just bored), you may go to a Terminal Room in the back ['LOCK' in code], and try to see what secrets it may unfold​
5. Talking and just messing around in the Waiting Room is always acceptable!​

So, that's about it folks, have at it! We should be ready for Round 1 at around 12:00 EST US on Friday.
HAVE FUN shipping CHATTING!

[/spoiler]​

"Did you know the Witch-Woman Jenka once had a brother?
His name was Ballos, and like his sister, he wielded powers far beyond those of mortals...
He used his magical power to help and guide people, and in return, the people loved him, and trusted him.
Even their own King wasn't the loved and trusted figure that Ballos was to them...
The King grew jealous, and in this jealousy, had Ballos apprehended and thrown into prison.
There, his punishment was brutal and cruel... Human beings can be terrible creatures indeed...
Under the pain, suffering, and cruelty he had to go under, Ballos's magical abilities soon ran wild.
The King was engulfed in the swirl of magic and destroyed in an instant,
and in a single night, the kingdom Ballos has loved dearly was reduced to nothing but ashen ruins...
Jenka, seeing her brother's madness, confined him to a floating island, high above the clouds.
That was the most that she could do... Even in the state Ballos was,
Jenka simply couldn't bring herself to kill her own brother.

It was Jenka's daughter, Misery, who had forced Ballos to create the Demon crown,
she was subsequently cursed by it, being forced to do the bidding of all who wear it.
If the crown is destroyed, the curse is lifted, however... Even if the crown is destroyed,
it will only rise again sooner or later, as long as Ballos still lives.
Such is the strength of the soul that permeates the crown..."



.....

Quote - Prologue; The Fortress In The Sky

It's been at least 5 years since Quote had defeated the Island's core, sending it plumetting to the ground and destroying the Demon Crown in the process... Or so he thought. Until a couple of years later, the Sakamoto laboratory observed a large metal structure floating into the air, and mere moments later, a volley of weapons fire erupted from it as it rained destruction down on the planet below. A crater in the ground this fortress left behind told Quote all he needed to know; the island had risen again, and within that island, another sinister wielder of the Demon crown resided, laying waste to the surface below. Quote was still strong, and he had access to some of the best weapons the Surface could offer, but, even that wasn't enough to stop what had already been set in motion; this time, he was too late to realize the threat that had been looming over the horizon for so long... No matter how hard he had fought, sustaining heavy amounts of damage, he wasn't able to hold off against the seemingly endless onslaught of machines and enraged Mimiga's alike, driven to madness by the consumption of red petals. The Surface was lost, or at least it seemed that way, until he had heard about the tour offered by someone in a faraway world, perhaps there was still hope? Maybe, if he were to take that tour, he might finally get the strength he needed to defeat this new menace, and make sure he finally put an end to this Demon Crown once and for all.

Upon "registering" for this strange little event, he was transported to a forest base of some sort, it looked so strange, a buig building, overgrown by the lush jungle beyond, but, yet, still functioning and in prime condition. Silently, he headed inside, letting the Cultist soldiers around escort him to what looked to be a waiting room of some sorts where he would presumably have to wait for the tours to officially begin. As the guards went off to take care of the other tourists coming in too, Quote decided to look around, eventually spotting a strange "Librarian Cat"... The best way to describe the anthropomorphic cat creature sitting in front of him, listening to his words carefully before taking the map, and studying it closely. After thinking for a while, he decided to head towards the library behind "Librarian Cat", deciding he could try and see if he could find some usefull things in there while he waited for the Tours to start.

[Xibilation]

Johnny watched the robot thing walk away, eyes cautiously following him. Then, he looked back at the dude calling himself Satan. With a weak smile at Satan-dude, Johnny tensed up. Then, he bolted.

When he got away from the crazies, he looked up, overwhelmed.

...And laughed. This was probably some weird dream.

Johnny was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't even realize the naked, half-spider lady was in front of him till he ran into her. His expression quickly changed into one of horror. "Shit!"

I managed to accelerate for own natural healing process-- it's not something I think should be used on the same person too often, but..." Cole paused, closing his fist around the electric ball. He'd tried to heal Trish from the brink of death, but unfortunately his powers couldn't prevent the inevitable. "But if someone is too far gone, I can't help them. I also can't do anything for the diseased."

@Emperor of Gallifrey @TheColourlessRainbow

Jeffery's face twisted into a form of uncertainty, he needed that power, he needed that gene.

"I can give you something greeter then what you weld now, I need that gene in order to save many dying species that stand alone on my home planet."

 

[Yiyel]

Garnet spun her chair around. "No. We start by trying to figure things out."

She got up, and approached Naoki. "Royalty by power hm? I had people like that back in my world. And I'm just warning you. Don't try anything strange or I will END you. And as for you..." She pointed to Patchouli. "You seem unused to this tech. I can teach you - it's very simple."

Pietro looked back and ran back to Patchouli. "You're a nice person," he said to her, "a rare find these days." He then went back to the computer in a blur.

His fingers were getting sore from guessing the password, but he continued.

"Probably after being threatened at gunpoint and after they were done holding knives to her throat" she spat in disgust "She was a single mother, asshole...god...I know you're a demon, but I expected you to have standards" she scoffs, her ball rolling across the floor slowly toward his feet, hoping to distract him so he could trip and land in the milk he dodged earlier, his mind was hardly able to focus on such a tiny thing at this moment in time, after all, he was too busy being an insensitive asshole

Garnet spun her chair around. "No. We start by trying to figure things out."

@The Pimp Tactician @Gummi Bunnies @DapperDogman

Naoki let out a growl at Garnet's words, "Listen, you, I don't care about your world. I only care about my own and making sure it goes to those who have the strength to guard it. Merit and strength are what a society should be built on, and that is what I plan to create."

 

[Mapelle]

"Oh!...Well, oh, okay. A figure of speech." She scratched her head with an awkward giggle, then flustering upon hearing pietro's comment, her tentacles coiling up as she twiddled her fingers, a wide grin on her face "Oh stop you~" A lightbulb (figuratively) appeared above Ika's head, she smirked "Hey, if this 'Fuse' thing involves people literally fusing together, I wanna be fused with Pietro! It'll be a really cool...Fast, squid thing with cool goggles! The perfect combination, right?" Ink bled from her nose as she wondered about the possibilities if this fuse thing was actually what she thought it was, and you know...If it was, how they would fuse. She thought of the process in exetreme detail, her mouth hanging open, her eyes closing, and her hands held up to her cheeks "Aaaah...Fusion.." She then blinked, shaking her head and snapping out of it. The girl wiped the ink off of her face, pointing at Naoki in a sassy fashion "You know, the power-hungry guys always lose in movies...." She shifted her hat around "Except in movies where the power hungry guy is the hero. But they usually realize power isn't the key to happiness! Hah, aren't those morals stupid?!" Clearly, Ika had perfect morale compass.

Well now, Cole suddenly felt wary of this guy now too. His brow furrowed in confusion at what Jeffery was saying. "Hold up, you want my Conduit gene? How exactly would I give it to you, even if I wanted to?" Cole's eyes flared, the glow of electricity apparent behind them. "It's a part of who I am. My DNA. Besides, if you had one of your own, you might not like the results."

"I'm sorry, but I didn't know your mother was raped. Perhaps you should have made that information available before opening your mother up as a target for my bullets," Naoki countered, feeling no sympathy for the girl. While it was tragic that her mother had been raped, he was not given the proper forewarning of the forbidden topic, "However, if you agree not to bring my parents into the debate again, then I'll agree not to insult your mother as well. You weren't wrong, I do have standards. I simply can't follow them if I'm not warned of sensitive topics," Seeing as he was still seated in his chair, he simply kicked the balls gently back to her, "And be careful with those things, you might cause someone to break a neck."

"I guess there are people from all over coming to this place. I had no idea. If you need any help learning the ropes of some modern things, don't hesitate to look for me. I plan to stay here for quite a while," Liz explained to Mulan, gently stroking a burn on her right wrist. "I almost died once when I was a little girl. So the idea of this fuse stuff interests me. To think there is actually some substance that can bring life is intersting, isn't it?"

Before she could tell Matt her name, however, Liz was cut off by a familiar voice that dug at her ears like nails on a chalk board. Had she not been a woman tame in personality, Lizzy would've turned around and demanded to know what Red was doing here when clearly this assignment had nothing to do with him. Instead, she kept a straight face and continued to look at Matt, hardly paying any mind to the man. God, didn't he ever have anything better to do with his time than to follow her around!?

"What part of a casual conversation makes you think a man may be intending to start some kind of trouble with me? If you ask me, the man intending to start trouble is standing behind me. Let me guess, you suddenly felt like a tropical island vacation?" she questioned with a straight face, still not looking at Red.

When Pietro heard Ika's words, a lump went to his throat. He ran towards the basement with the food in it, grabbed some food and drink, and refreshed himself quickly.

He then continued his work, burning the keyboard hot with his password attempts. (He would actually take a little time to think of what to say to her)

"Who has 13 kids of their own free will?" she asks aloud, with a slightly confused expression "As a single mother, nonetheless..." she sighs a little and catches the ball, tossing it up and down slowly, scowling behind her false look of calm
She'd get him back, given time...she'd make sure of it
She nods slowly "Deal...you insult me and me alone, pedo" she says with a small grin "Unless you doubt your bullets'll hit me" she cocks her head a little, as if questioningly

"Oh!...Well, oh, okay. A figure of speech." She scratched her head with an awkward giggle, then flustering upon hearing pietro's comment, her tentacles coiling up as she twiddled her fingers, a wide grin on her face "Oh stop you~" A lightbulb (figuratively) appeared above Ika's head, she smirked "Hey, if this 'Fuse' thing involves people literally fusing together, I wanna be fused with Pietro! It'll be a really cool...Fast, squid thing with cool goggles! The perfect combination, right?" Ink bled from her nose as she wondered about the possibilities if this fuse thing was actually what she thought it was, and you know...If it was, how they would fuse. She thought of the process in exetreme detail, her mouth hanging open, her eyes closing, and her hands held up to her cheeks "Aaaah...Fusion.." She then blinked, shaking her head and snapping out of it. The girl wiped the ink off of her face, pointing at Naoki in a sassy fashion "You know, the power-hungry guys always lose in movies...." She shifted her hat around "Except in movies where the power hungry guy is the hero. But they usually realize power isn't the key to happiness! Hah, aren't those morals stupid?!" Clearly, Ika had perfect morale compass.

"In some ways, they are rather stupid. They're rather idealistic, unable to be bent," Naoki shook his head, "However, while it isn't my way, I won't disagree that, at times, such ideals hold value. However, it isn't power that will bring me happiness. It's the security of my world and my friend's dream that will." As he continued to listen to Ika's rambling, he gently laughed at her idea, finding it rather endearing, "High speed ink attacks, maybe? Poison the enemy while also confusing them? Genius tactics!" Actually, he would have to save that idea for later. It might be a useful method to fight.

"I guess there are people from all over coming to this place. I had no idea. If you need any help learning the ropes of some modern things, don't hesitate to look for me. I plan to stay here for quite a while," Liz explained to Mulan, gently stroking a burn on her right wrist. "I almost died once when I was a little girl. So the idea of this fuse stuff interests me. To think there is actually some substance that can bring life is intersting, isn't it?"

Before she could tell Matt her name, however, Liz was cut off by a familiar voice that dug at her ears like nails on a chalk board. Had she not been a woman tame in personality, Lizzy would've turned around and demanded to know what Red was doing here when clearly this assignment had nothing to do with him. Instead, she kept a straight face and continued to look at Matt, hardly paying any mind to the man. God, didn't he ever have anything better to do with his time than to follow her around!?

"What part of a casual conversation makes you think a man may be intending to start some kind of trouble with me? If you ask me, the man intending to start trouble is standing behind me. Let me guess, you suddenly felt like a tropical island vacation?" she questioned with a straight face, still not looking at Red.

Redington raised an eyebrow. "We're on an island full of cultists and you feel like being naive?"

The comment about vacation few a laugh from him. "As nice as this place is, no, I'm not here for pleasure. On the contrary. I'm here on... business, you could say."
