- Previously on Days of our Als, Al took a trip to Japan and then came back to America to go look for a nun
- Alloces: (( indeed ))
- Alloces: (( I am unsure who to ask about that real--oh right Sisyphus ))
- Alloces: (( or salalaballbingbong, whatever the other nun's name was ))
- ThatBaka:
- So yeah, you start off in High Vertby one fateful Monday night
- TWILT has connected.
- Sypha:
- and my name is Syyyphaaaaa
- Alloces:
- "Hah..Fighting so soon after so long." Al works the kinks out of his neck, and sets off for the church, I suppose, chatting to himself on the way there. "It has been forever since I showed my face around here, hm? Time to change that!"
- Alloces:
- now the hell happened there
- Alloces:
- Guess I'll get a cab there, I don't remember where the church IS...
- Alloces:
- As in, OOC
- Alloces: (( guess I can try loading the 2big4u map ))
- Alloces: (( well it's not marked anyway (waiting) ))
- Belger:
- Normally at this time, the church is scheduled a nightly get-together/summit that occurs about once per month. However, due to certain hard times falling down (The informing signpost simply calls it "complications") It's closed for the night. The church is still fully enterable though, and from within you can see Sypha talking to the old head priest.
- Alloces:
- Al pushes through the door and walks right on in, all casual-like, "Oh? The deanery not meeting today? A shame, that. Might I ask what these, ah, 'complications' may be?" also back I had to food
- Sypha:
- "Oh. Salutations, Alloces. I was just-." Sypha casually responds before stopping mid-sentence in order to think. "(Wait, didn't he...no, must have been someone else...)" "I was just keeping things in order. We just came back from the hospital, you see...I'm glad to see you're all right in any case. I was worried I'd have sent a man to his death..."
- Alloces:
- Al waves his hand in front of his face and replies nonchalantly, "Oh, no, don't worry yourself over me, Sister Sypha! More important than that, may I ask, do you know where Sister Rosa is? I haven't seen her in a while, you see. And whoever did you visit in the hospital?"
- Sypha:
- "?" Sypha looks a tad worried. "You...do know what happened to her, right? She was finally capured, and...and..well it's complicated, but she's the one currently resting right now at the hospital. I trust you enough to know that. I'm just not sure what to do anymore..."
- Alloces:
- Al pauses for a moment, then replies grimly, "...No, I cannot say I did. I have been...preoccupied for a while. Out of town, you see. It's difficult to understand what you mean. You say the Sister is hospitalized? Is she badly hurt?"
- Sypha:
- "Badly hurt...that's one way to put it. She always did suffer from constant pains, but due to our misguided oversights...*sniff* I dont know what to do if I'm due to lose Sister Rosa soon...I can't even manage the thought...I hope and pray to God and his Son that she'll recover by any means."
- Alloces:
- "Best not to give up the Ghost, now." Even like this, the guy can manage a small joke... "I apologize, I don't meant to chat and run, but with this news, it's even more imperative that I go and see the girl. Is she conscious?" (Captured, she says... Who on earth could have brought Rosa down, if I couldn't manage it? Zhen would not have sent her to any hospital, surely...)
- Sypha:
- "She's undergone a few operations as of late. I wouldn't be surprised if she was still alseep...but you can try. If she wants to rest however, let her. She needs all she can get."
- Alloces:
- "Of course, I'll keep that in mind. But nonetheless, I would like to visit her, even if for just a moment. Surely a familiar face will help her to feel better."
- Sypha:
- Sypha nods and waves goodbye as you leave the church. "I'm sure it would. I just..." Sypha is left without many words to speak for.
- Alloces:
- "Well, I'm sure I'll hear the rest of that thought when I return! But for now, it seems as if I've no time to spare, unfortunately."
- Alloces:
- And so Al the walking dead man heads off for the hospital to surely see Sister Rosa of course she's here there's no way she just up and disappeared or something like that
- Dr. Phil Goodman:
- The Hospital is current emptied aside from the usual doctor cleaning things up while looking in all directions nervously. He finally catches sight of the Al man and leaps back in shock, but immediately snaps back to a steady position. "Y-yes, hello, what do you want?"
- Alloces:
- Al steps toward the doctor and replies with a faux-surprised voice, "You to calm down, first of all! Can't have a skittish doctor performing surgeries, can we? 'What do I want' you ask...shouldn't you show some hospitality? Well, no matter. I've come to see a miss Rosa, I heard she was admitted here recently."
- Dr. Phil Goodman:
- Dr. Phil immediately goes into a sweat and grinds his teeth. "(A-already? Okay, calm down Phillip, you rehearsed this in your head, just remember what the dude said.)" The doctor clears his throat. "Uh, she's not here right now."
- Alloces: (( back, had to get food out ))
- Alloces:
- "Got up and walked away, did she? How astonishing! But, no, really, just what do you mean by that?
- Alloces:
- "
- Dr. Phil Goodman:
- 'Gah! I mean she was uuuh uh disappeared! I mean, kidnapped! I mean disappearnapped! I mean, uh, I walked in one day and sweet mary she was just gone! I mean, uh, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!"
- Alloces:
- Al gives the man a funny look while everything settles in, "What in blazes are you going on about? Disappearnapped? ..No, wait, kidnapped? WHAT?!" He lunges forward and grabs the man by the collar, " ..no, you aren't joking, are you? What do you MEAN she was kidnapped?! By whom?! Penguin? Just how lousy of a doctor are you?!"
- Dr. Phil Goodman:
- "Wuuaaaaahuaaaa! Listen, just because I'm a doctor, that doesn't make me invincible! I am quite clearly vincible as your fingers can feel right now. I can't help it if I turn my back for a few minutes and someone's broken in and stole a young woman from under my nose!"
- Alloces:
- "Someone took her... Wait a second." Al looks around the room, and (assumedly) doesn't notice any signs of a struggle, "Broke in, you say? Now, see, that seems fuzzy to me. Normally, when people break in, they BREAK something! In fact I'm feeling a little like it, myself..."
- Dr. Phil Goodman:
- Phil still finds the time to sneer under his fit of panic. "if they were gonna be slobs about it, they sure wouldn't have escaped my line of sight! Why, I only just caught a glimpse of those Penguuuiiiii-(Crap I wasn't supposed to blame it on Penguin was I oh man too late)n goons before they high tailed it outta here! Now please, let's not make a bigger mess than we already have."
- Alloces:
- "You say Penguin's lackeys broke in here, without breaking anything? But they weren't careful enough to avoid being spotted by you? ...Well, they certainly have reason for wanting Rosa... Fine. Well, if I don't find anything at Penguin's place, I'll be back! I'll just have to scour every inch of this place myself."
- Dr. Phil Goodman:
- Phil takes a deep breath and holds his hands steady on the front desk after you let go of your kung-fu grip action. "Augh..don't...don't underestimate the abilities of a gang in top form...(Going straight for Penguin, huh? Hopefully he'll die before he can make it back, because I'm not sure how long I can keep this up...)"
- Alloces:
- "Penguin? In top form? Hahahaha! Please, with the goons she's got left, I would have no trouble with whatever they have planned all by myself...but I won't be going by myself. Well, that's nothing you should concern yourself with, doctor. No, as long as you're telling the truth, you've nothing to worry about!"
- Dr. Phil Goodman:
- Phil adjusts his crooked glasses and gives a faint smile before you walk off. "I guarantee you, I am."
- Dr. Phil Goodman:
- "Now hurry up. If you can get her back, that'd be 50 kinds of good news for me. (Nah, not really.)"
- Alloces:
- "Hmph, bring her back to a hospital that let her get kidnapped? Fat chance. As for whether you're being truthful, we'll both know sooner or later, won't we? Well, see you, Doc. Hopefully you won't need to practice self-surgery!"
- Dr. Phil Goodman:
- The doctor doesn't give much more of a response aside from a tense shove on the rim of his glasses.
- Alloces:
- And so, Al heads off...but not to Penguin's place, just yet. No, he's off to the abode of a much less pleasant person - right back to High Vertby, to Zhen's place.
- tirkaroKujo:
- Zhen's actual abode is a giant spiral tower, a really, really fancy restaurant/food court/party hall hybrid as well as a partial theatre/mall/museum/all you can really think of, but the main draw is the food and drink. It branches off into many different rooms, although the layout itself is fairly linear and easy to navigate. It seems to be a rather good business day right now too.
- Alloces:
- (Well, it's a good thing I didn't come here to fight. Would be a shame to destroy such a place.) Al shanties up to the receptionist, or the closest thing - there's probably someone like that here?
- tirkaroKujo:
- There's about three receptionists right now, about as blank-faced and robotic as human being cans get while at the same time not looking like a crude alien disguise. They're constantly operating a phone line while not taking down data and notes.
- Alloces: (( those lazy bastards ))
- Alloces: (( not doing all those things ))
- Alloces:
- Al tries to get a word in edgewise "Ah, hello? I was wondering if you would be able to help me. I'm looking for someone.
- Alloces:
- "
- The Receptionist:
- One fo the receptionists peeks an eye out at you and immediately responds without even a hint of hesitation. "State the name please"
- Alloces: (( looks like they forgot to put a face on this robot ))
- Alloces:
- "Casey. I'm looking for a man named Casey."
- The Receptionist:
- "Casey is currently out of comission at this moment. We have dispatched a team to go search for him at Rhymedime Beach."
- Alloces:
- "W-what? You've got to be kidding me... The one time I'd rather him not be MIA. I'll have to do this all by my lonesome, after all. Well, no matter. Thank you."
- The Receptionist:
- The Receptionist immediately goes back to taking countless more orders over the phone or otherwise.
- Alloces:
- Al starts to head back out the door, wondering what he should do now. "Hmph...I'll start with what I know. Or I would, had I any idea where they were. I suppose I'll just have to track straight to Penguin's hideout."
- Alloces: (( honestly I'm a little surprised I knew anything about where her hideout was ))
- Alloces: (( what is this a Rampage map ))
- tirkaroKujo:
- As you attempt to track Penguin's location, you feel an eerie chill about the area. Looking around, your attention is drawn to a single man looming over you. He immediately drops down, and makes a dart directly at you.
- Alloces:
- Al waves the man down, "Ah, about time someone showed up. I thought perhaps I had the wrong place. Now, point me to someone of higher status, won't you? I'm afraid I have business here."
- The Overseer:
- "I wouldn't be so hasty if I were you..." The cloaked figure speaks, in a distorted voice. It lands directly in front of you, crossing its arms as to make him seem more imposing. "This is not the place you're looking for. I'm afraid you're being misled." He drones on.
- Alloces:
- "We're both afraid, then? My, I wonder what has us so on edge. Now, unfortunately for you, I don't have time for small fry. What do those funny little aliens say...yes, 'Take me to your leader.'"
- The Overseer:
- "Heh heh. Handsome young lad you are. Let's just see how you hold up, shall we?" The cloaked figure takes out two fingers and draws an infinty marking in the air. "Me and you, we're not that different. Just as I am destined for great things, well...so might you be. Not yet, but in the vast expanses of the future..."
- Thrice is disconnected.
- The Overseer:
- thrizzle pls
- Thrice has connected.
- The Overseer:
- "Heh heh. Handsome young lad you are. Let's just see how you hold up, shall we?" The cloaked figure takes out two fingers and draws an infinty marking in the air. "Me and you, we're not that different. Just as I am destined for great things, well...so might you be. Not yet, but in the vast expanses of the future..."
- Thrice: (( did he say anything befoe that ))
- The Overseer: (( no ))

- No, no I did not, what the hell
- Thrice: (( that's Dio's theme, the one I know(by Crow's Claw) is Warcuied's theme ))

- "A lemniscate? Perhaps that wasn't the best symbol to make against me. If the hourglass never runs out, you'll be smothered in sand, you know?"
- The Overseer:
- "Despite my frightening appearance, I am not who you'd consider an enemy..."
- Timer reset! 99 seconds on the clock!
- Alloces:
- "It doesn't matter to me. Anyone who isn't my ally may as well be a punching bag. Or kicking bag, should I say?"
- Alloces:

- The Overseer:
- "Don't take this as anything personal down the line. We are both, after all, slaves to the contract. We should strive for peace before all else. But would you agree to that?"
- Alloces:
- Al nicks his finger, technically taking first blood, whips out his clipboard and stamps it with his thumb, leaving the symbol of an hourglass on the paper. At the same time, a black mist shoots toward him and his foe - and now I roll for AC cause I forgot to spend FS before
- Alloces:
- Alloces uses 3 Fighting Spirit!
- Alloces:
- Guess I'll move forward too
- Alloces:
- « 1d6+3+1 = 2 + 3 + 1 = 6 » it's L4 sadly

- sad
- Alloces:
- "Peace? Ha! A while ago, perhaps I wanted nothing more. But now...now that's an impossibility for me! You shouldn't have challenged me. I can't turn down a fight. And I would not call me a slave. After all, with this power, aren't I more a servant? I am getting paid after all!"
- The Overseer:
- The Overseer effortlessly dodges back in a flash, his coat flowing like a heavy liquid underwater. "Infinity can be a scary thing you don't know how to change back...thankfully, I am all about change..." A solid fist arises out of Overseer's coat with the intention to launch you straight up.
- The Overseer:
- The Overseer uses 4 Fighting Spirit!

- Alloces uses 2 Fighting Spirit!
- The Overseer:
- « 1d6+4+1+1 = 2 + 4 + 1 + 1 = 8 » "Heh heh heh..."
- Alloces: (( well that definitely hit ))
- The Overseer:
- The masked man socks you straight in the jaw, the background turning to a blur of lines as you're launched straight up the buildings. The man of course follows your lead. « 1d6+2+4 = 6 + 2 + 4 = 12 »
- Alloces:
- Alloces loses 12 hit points.
- The Overseer: (( didn't you use those 2 FS to negate the +4 ))
- Alloces: (( er, no ))
- Alloces: (( I used them to increase my defense ))
- Alloces: (( I didn't even really notice he was doing a launcher ))
- Alloces: (( er, my Tactics technically, but oh well ))
- The Overseer:
- He follows up with a massive machinegun volley of punches from the oblivion within his cloak, sending you crashing onto the nearby walls. « 1d6+2 = 1 + 2 = 3 » Half of this
- Alloces:
- Alloces loses 1 hit points.
- Timer falls from 99 to 94!

- The Overseer:

- Alloces:
- "Gah! I guess with this, you really could have kidnapped the girl... Perhaps you're one of her better men. I've only seen the lackeys. But you can't beat me this easily..." Al grabs onto the...ladder, I guess
- Alloces:
- 1 FS used! Initiative (1d8): 1 + 0 = 1 1 FS used! Control (1d8): 3 + 0 = 3
- Alloces: (( it seems we are at an impasse ))
- The Overseer:
- Overseer runs alongside the buildings, and starts spin spin spiiiining in midair, finally ending in a powerful kick that sends you crashing to the ground. « 1d6+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 »
- Alloces: (( that definitely hits me ))
- The Overseer:
- « 1d6+2 = 4 + 2 = 6 »+harry

- Timer falls from 94 to 91!
- Alloces: (( I'll take the Harry to Control I guess, and speaking of I have +1 to that that I've been forgetting ))

- Alloces: (( not totally sure why I bothered spending FS, I can't use any moves ))
- Alloces: (( so uh, I'll change that to Defense ))
- Alloces:
- "Oh, shush. Even if you aren't involved, it's too late for you now."
- The Overseer:
- The cloaked man tumbles back shoots out a stampede of pitch black 4-legged beasts, some larger than others, that tumbles all over you in a swarm.
- The Overseer:

- Timer falls from 91 to 87!
- Alloces:
- Al tries to shake the beasts off him, "Stupid...little...mutts! Hargh..You got quite the undignified ability, hm? Or is this a Replicant after all?"

- Alloces:
- Al steps forward and...opens the fucking PDF
- Alloces:
- I guess I'll Await Opening for now, even if I don't remember what it does.
- Alloces:
- "Do you? I'm not so sure myself. But whatever you say, there must be a weakness in your style somewhere..."
- Alloces: (( seems I can't move forward when using AO ))

- The seer grabs you by the neck and teleports you to an unknown location; As all you see is pitch blackness, you're caught off guard by the masked man punching you from the side...and a kick to the other side...and a kick on the head...soon you're under the assault of an endless array of attacks before he finishes off with a final headkick that knocks you out of the shadowy void and sends you flying back down into the building. « 1d12+2 = 1 + 2 = 3 »
- Alloces:
- Alloces loses 3 hit points.
- Alloces:
- Al does his best to keep up with the hits even in the darkness, taking most of them with ease, "Gyahehehe...that's the best you can do with so many attacks? You were better at the start! You're slipping up!" He manages to catch himself on his feet, and stares at the masked guy.
- Alloces: (( and that's the round over I'm pretty sure ))
- The Overseer:
- The people around the barroom go into a panic and start running out the building as soon as you start crashing in. "So it is true..."

- « 1d6+3 = 4 + 3 = 7 »
- Alloces: (( that hit? ))

- The Overseer: (( which means yes ))
- Alloces:
- « (1d8+1)/3+1 = (7 + 1) / 3 + 1 = 3.666666666666666666666666666666667 » The mist forms a symbol on the men's foreheads! Though, well, I guess it'd be under his mask, but its visibility doesn't matter. "Gehehe...now the real fight begins!"

- Alloces: (( wait shit I couldn't have done it now anyhow, whatever, no loss ))
- The Overseer:
- "Tuh!" The seer takes out a shadowy fan-like object, shaped vaguely like an old guitar, out of his cloak and defends with it.
- Alloces:
- "Let's keep things simple. As in, super simple!" A glowing hour-glassish symbol..or portal? appears in front of Al, and a ball of black mist shoots at the Vault Director!
- Agi has connected.
- Alloces: (( and I guess I shall move up one ))
- Alloces:
- « 1d6+1+1 = 5 + 1 + 1 = 7 »

- Alloces: (( damn it. ))
- Alloces: (( Well I hope he misses ))
- Alloces: (( cause if he does boyo got some shit coming for him ))
- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( he won't ))
- Alloces: (( No full defense ))
- Alloces: (( I don't think he CAN. ))
- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( isn't that what I said ))
- The Overseer:
- « 1d6+1+1 = 4 + 1 + 1 = 6 » The mechanical black beast appears behind the overseer again and unleashes a volley of punches!
- Alloces: (( huh, No Defense should have been worth -2 ))
- Alloces: (( not -1 ))
- The Overseer: (( what's that now ))
- Alloces: (( then again I think there are two things called No Defense so who knows ))
- Alloces: (( It's something on Al's Super ))
- Alloces: (( But yeah that hits easily ))
- The Overseer:
- « 1d4+1 = 2 + 1 = 3 » It punches you straight ahead!
- Alloces:
- Alloces loses 3 hit points.
- Alloces:
- "Gehehe...keep things simple, I guess." Al goes to crush in the man's ribs with a heavy kick!
- Alloces: (( as yes I still have 4 Contorl left to me ))
- Alloces: (( you spending FS? ))
- Alloces:
- "But I guess that WAS a Replicant! How unfortunate. I thought I may have met someone like me."
- The Overseer:
- The Overseer uses 3 Fighting Spirit!
- The Overseer:
- you bet your ass I will
- Alloces:

- Alloces:
- sad
- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( give UP ))
- Alloces:
- Alloces is healed and gains 4 hit points.
- Alloces:
- last turn of that
- Alloces: (( why should I even give up ))
- Alloces: (( I probably have more HP than him now (HIPPO) ))
- Alloces: (( He's just higher level ))
- The Overseer:
- "Tsk tsk. You really do have a nasty habit of jumping straight to conclusions don't you?"
- The Overseer:
- The Overseer loses 4 hit points.
- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( that's, uh ))
- Alloces: (( Actually I guess 31 would look like LESS on him (HMM) ))
- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( that's not how that works. ))
- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( indeed ))
- Alloces: (( So yeah, but ah well ))
- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( he may have taken more damage, is what you meant to say ))
- Alloces: (( I've healed 12 ))

- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( c'mon now ))
- Alloces: (( Man I should have been remembering Lucky ))
- Alloces: (( I activated that forever ago and only used one reroll ))
- Alloces: (( But whatever for now, carry on ))
- The Overseer:
- "Now I will end this...." the masked man completely unbounds himself, and moves forward wth his guitar-like fan!
- Alloces:
- naw I ain't gonna bother with --actually sure, Full Defense, but with Evasion
- Alloces:
- I think you can actually miss me, barely
- Alloces:
- I can't spend FS yo
- Alloces:
- i don't have any
- The Overseer:
- (To make up for this move being a bit over its logical control cost, every succession of this sequence will result in damage dealt to the Seer himself too.) You attempt to defend, but the masked man teleports above you, his shadowy visage getting ready to lay the hurt on you! "Hmm..."
- The Overseer:
- Say ready when ready
- Alloces: (( I'm good, again I can't spend FS (waiting) ))
- Alloces: (( oh ))

- Alloces: (( yeah Sidestep Countering ))
- Alloces:
- Al's crushed by the Overseer! Or rather, his sand-clone is! He himself again sweeps the man out from under his feet! Or attempts to...
- Alloces: (( Go ahead and spend FS if you wanna ))
- tirkaroKujo:
- Nah
- Alloces:
- « 1d6+1+1 = 2 + 1 + 1 = 4 »
- tirkaroKujo:
- the way this works is that a failed QTE is a flat 1d6
- tirkaroKujo:
- and a succeeded one is a flat 1d6 to the opponent
- Alloces: (( would I still get my actual attack? ))
- tirkaroKujo:
- At least that's the way this one is, so it's only fair any counter attacks do the same damage
- Alloces: (( I uh, have a Sidestep Counter I was using ))
- Alloces: (( ah ))
- tirkaroKujo:
- You can spend a story point to use a more special move I guess
- Alloces: (( Sure I may as well pray for high damage ))
- Alloces:
- « 1d8+1+1 = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 » Harry, Increased Stun, and Knock Down

- Alloces: (( I won the last time I knocked him down too ))
- Alloces:
- I'll Await Opening then,
- Alloces:
- .*
- The Overseer:
- The masked man begins to cough as he gets up from that massive knockdown. "Just as I thought..."
- Alloces: (( which gives me a boost of +PL die sizes to init or control, spread out as I want ))
- Alloces: (( so long as I'm not hit before the next ))

- The Overseer:
- you got even less now pal
- Alloces:
- gr8, and I'm pretty sure I have to keep that, not that it matters
- The Overseer:
- The masked man goes into full defense!
- Alloces:
- Well, even with four! Al advances, and etches a familiar symbol into his board, straight through the paper!
- Alloces:
- « 1d6+1 = 4 + 1 = 5 » I'm not sure I even can hit you with this but I can damn well sure
- Alloces:
- try*
- Alloces:
- if only I had that control bonus
- The Overseer:
- The man defends the attack with his shadowy guitar fan. "It's impressive enough to inflict any sort of injury upon me..."
- Alloces:
- uh, I'm assuming that missed unless he was using Evasion
- Timer falls from 53 to 49!
- The Overseer:

- Alloces: (( CAN'T I SWAP THOSE ))
- Alloces: (( GOD DAMN YOU INIT (FEDUP) ))
- Alloces:
- Al simply throws a regular kick at the Overseer's mask, and even follows up with another!
- Alloces:
- AKA: can't do shit cap'n
- Alloces: (( ...well I guess I get the Control boost ))
- The Overseer:
- *I can spend FS on better*
- Alloces: (( as that apparently costs me 0 Control ))
- Alloces: (( due to the whole basic combo thing ))
- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( mip ))
- Alloces:
- « 1d6+1+1 = 5 + 1 + 1 = 7 »
- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( does that mean you could throw three? (waiting) ))
- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( and still get the boost? (waiting) ))
- Alloces: (( I could, but there'd be little point ))
- Alloces: (( I'd take a -1 for a three-hit combo ))
- Alloces: (( so trade 1 damage for 1 Accuracy, not a good tradeoff ))
- The Overseer:
- but yeah that probabyl hits anyway
- Alloces:
- « 1d6+1+1 = 3 + 1 + 1 = 5 »
- The Overseer:
- The Overseer loses 5 hit points.
- Alloces:
- "Slowly, slowly, slowly...Jeez. You're tougher than I'd thought."
- Alloces:
- "But make no mistake, eventually, I'll win nonetheless."
- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( and wouldn't that be a d4 anyway ))
- Alloces: (( er, yeah I guess so ))
- Alloces: (( so heal 1 HP ))
- The Overseer:
- aaand fffiinally. The masked man goes tumbling back, but still holds his ground, grabbing onto the eroding wooden planks. "Alright, enough is enough. I've gotten a worthwhile glimpse as to what you can do..."
- Alloces:
- "Hahaha! You mean you can't see any more? Did I blind you through your mask? My apologies, but I won't take it easy on the disabled!"
- Alloces:
- "BEcause make no mistake, I won't let up. There's no "glimpsing" my power. You see none or you see all! I told you that you made a mistake, and I meant it."
- Alloces:
- "I cannot end a fight that has begun."
- The Overseer:
- He brushes off his cloak, despite it being made of some combination of liquid and gas, and gets back up as if he was never so much as touched at all. "Sadly, even if I wanted to continue this, or even kill you right here, I cannot mess with the natural order."
- The Overseer:
- "Or....so is the way I would put it. Truth is you're just too adorable for me to touch too hard at the moment. You need time to ripen...fatten up before you're worth digging into."
- Alloces:
- "The natural order is the strong killing the weak, you know.
- Alloces:
- "But if we're talking natural order, I'm afraid there's nothing natural at all about me! Or you, it seems. And are you hitting on me? Marona won't like that, you know."
- The Overseer:
- "As alike as we are, I'm afraid we're simultaneously too far apart to possibly have a future together. Now use more common judgement and put your eyes back on the goal...which, wouldn't you know, happens to be my goal as well..."
- Alloces:
- "My goal? What do you think that is, exactly?"
- Alloces:
- "Because I'm afraid you may not like it, were you to know the truth, Replicant-user."
- The Overseer:
- "I will return, and when we meet again, well...we could be enemies. We could be allies. We could be as close and as far you want. Just know my name first of all: I am the Overseer, and I am the closest thing you have to a true guiding light."
- The Overseer:
- "Your goal isn't what you think it is. It probably isn't what I think either. Such is the nature of the contract..."
- Alloces:
- "I think I know what my goal is, actually! I'm going to...Well, you'll see! Now, stand before me. As much as you want to end this, I can't. You had better prepare yourself."
- The Overseer:
- "Kehheh...if that is your wish, go ahead. Try and touch me wherever you want."

- The Overseer:
- The Overseer loses 4 hit points.

- Alloces:
- "Teleports, huh? Unfortunately for you..." Al kicks straight up, meeting the man's shoe sole with his own, "I know all about those." He kicks the man int he side of the shin with his other leg, showing off some pretty good flexibility.

- The masked man does an uneven sortie towards you! As you try to attack in retaliation, the man easily dodges through your punch with his cloak, feeling as if you just attacked water. Out from the cloak arises a pitch black reindeer that rams you and sends you flying out the building. « 1d6 = 6 »

- The Overseer:
- The Overseer uses 3 Fighting Spirit!
- Alloces:
- "Hahah...HAHAHAHA! I'm sorry, I can't finish you yet. You don't need to get so defensive, you know..." Al takes out his pen and carves the symbol of an hourglass into his flesh, right over the old, misty one, where it erupts into an aura, and finally into sand that covers his body. "Gehaha! Sorry, but I do believe you've lost, now!" and « 1d8+1 = 4 + 1 = 5 » half of this to Al himself

- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( question, for Thrice probably as I think you've made one - does the Power Enhancer element assume the No Damage liability? that is to say, you can't add that liability to it to lower the cost ))
- The Overseer:
- "But fine. If it's a last resort you want, it's a last resort you'll get..." The masked man makes a hustle and forms an infinity symbol by the tips of his fingers.

- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( oh right, and you may want to look into the Fake Move element if you haven't already, it's a nice buff to Tactics ))
- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( or just the Fake element, rather ))
- Alloces: (( It's a buff to TActics in exchange for doing nothing ))
- Alloces: (( better just to use Offensive Illusion ))

- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( and uh, increasing your defense total in a way you wouldn't be able to normally? ))
- The Overseer:
- "That was all I needed to do." the seer's voice emits from the symbol. "All users of the contract have the ability to communicate with one another like a telephone line. You could say I...got your number, in a way!"

- "Consider that the closest thing to a petty victory then. I do dearly hope you're happy with that outcome. (Doesn't really work like that, but I'll throw him a bone.)"
- Alloces:
- After the man fwips away, Al grabs his head and tries to remember what he was before he got distracted, "Well, that's not the issue. I'm in deep trouble. Losing is one thing, but a battle without a conclusion, that's going to cost me severely, even if it wasn't my fault...
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Cobblestone2Revengeance' by player Thrice (Player)
- Alloces:
- "
- ThatBaka:
- and thus it seems like this battle will cause many complications down the line, as Al once again wanders in search for wherever hints of Penguin may be...
- Alloces:
- Healed up!
- ThatBaka:
- So yeah before then, did you have any clues beforehand that would logically lead you to a Penguin stronghold
- ThatBaka:
- this actually matters, as it results in different routes
- Alloces:
- "Ohhhhh well, as long as he doesn't take an arm for too long, I should be okay." Hm, let's see...
- Alloces:
- The closest hint he would have would be to look for Sialia, really.
- Alloces:
- I don't think there's any way for him to know about Penguin's lair, at least
- ThatBaka:
- So yeah if you're going about it all aimlessly wandering...
- Alloces:
- Well, he's probably looking for information
- ThatBaka:
- Around where
- Alloces: (( Uhhh...I guess Wolfgang Way? ))
- Chaz:
- The cold streets of Wolfgang Way is currently crowded after a smokin' hot performance at a local club, but you manage to get in up-close contact with one of the performers, somewhat tired out right now. "'Eh? Yawanna know about Penguin, eh? Eh? Well I know a thing ah two...bit more than I'd like. It'll cost ya a pretty penny though, ya hear?"
- Alloces:
- "The penny had better not be too pretty. But, fine, what do you want? Simple money, or perhaps something else?"
- Chaz:
- "Well, I did really only want about 1k...but now that you mention it, think you can also throw in some timeless advice for a young man like me? Y'know, for the road..."
- Alloces:
- "Do I really look like the old, wise master type? I don't know if that says less about me or you. A thousand I can do... And, fine, shoot your question too."
- Charlotte Boogaloo: (( I think he just wanted a "confucious sez" ))
- Alloces: (( well you never know ))
- Chaz:
- "Let's say you really liked this certain person...but in order to appease them, you'd have to hurt someone else to do it. Or hurt many people...how far should one go in this situation?"
- Alloces: (( man you really shouldn't have gone to Al for this ))
- Alloces:
- "Haha..an interesting query, and one that hinges all on one factor. Do you like those other people, too? If not, have at 'em! Tear them down if they're in the way. They're not important. Oh, but make sure you can handle anyone they are important to."
- Chaz:
- The young artist wearily holds onto the tip of his hat. "I see..." He whispers with a hint of uncertainty. "Thanks f'the word then, pops. I'll be takin' that money now..."
- Alloces: (( Hm, would Al know of the music competition? (HMM) He'd have been researchign stuff about that before he died, but I dunno when it was ever announced ))
- Chaz:
- "Now, one of Penguin's biggest hidey holes is over near Rhymedime Beach. Y'know, where that famous rapper lives? Right near there. I'd be careful there if I were you though...Penguin don't fuck around, y'hear?"
- Chaz: (( it was announced a while ago, in-canon ))
- Chaz: (( like, maybe a few weeks before the gang knew ))
- Alloces:
- Al takes out his wallet and writes the man a check - which is legit, in case in comes up, "Rhymedime Beach, huh? Hehehe...convenient. Oh, and here's a little extra tip, on the house. You can try other ways to impress them, too, if you've got cold feet. There's a musical competition coming up soon...you could try that! Your act's better than...those people's, at least."
- Chaz:
- "Heh. Y'know, I was ponderin' that, but I think you gave me the push I needed. It's 'bout time the Tippers took the world by storm." The young man takes your check with a look of glee on his face. "Thanks pops, just be sure to not tell a soul I told you about this, capisce?"
- Alloces:
- "Sure thing. I wouldn't want to get such a chipper boy in trouble, after all!" And so, Al heads off toward Rhymedime Beach, where he'll probably end up rescuing Casey instead of Rosa.
- Chaz:
- if only you had wandered aimlessly instead
- Chaz:
- but yeeeah, that's a cut.
- Alloces:
- ...oh god this is brilliant
- Alloces:
- I just RESCUE CASEY, so that he -HAS- to help me find Rosa
- Alloces:
- I was going to pull the "I'll tell Marona all that embarrassing shit Rosa told me about you"
- Alloces:
- card*
- Alloces:
- but now I don't even have to, I can save that ammo for later
- Chaz:
- oh the complications that will lead to
- Chaz:
- and then Al indirectly becomes the dragon (scb)
