Holy Dev 5

[21:53] Ryan was perched against the stall, leaned down with his head the only thing looking up. He looked worse than last night; something had been done to him today to make him look barely alive.

Pallid and gaunt beyond measure, he looked over to Maeve. Only one eye seemed to have any light in it; the other one looked dull and grey.

He barely had the energy to keep his head up.
(Ryan Speranza)


[21:54] Maeve Illumir says, "Oh me, oh my... You look like you're about to die."
[21:56] Maeve Illumir says, "Luuukas."
[21:57] Maeve Illumir says, "Who was that man? You did seem like a fan."
[21:57] Maeve Illumir says, "Mhm."
[21:58] Maeve Illumir says, "The clumsy one. Though, he did seem like fun."
[21:59] Ryan Speranza says, "...I can't."
[21:59] Maeve Illumir says, "Fell from a tree. Right in front of thee."
[21:59] Maeve nodded.
(Maeve Illumir)


[22:05] Elias says, "Vanamir deserves death for this."
[22:05] Heidi Augustus says, "Vanamir did nothing wrong."
[22:05] Heidi Augustus says, "I was already a clown."
[22:05] Elias says, "I blame Dun then."
[22:05] Heidi Augustus says, "He Dun Do Nuffin."
[22:06] Elias says, ". . . "
[22:06] Elias says, "Paradox then."
[22:06] Heidi Augustus says, "They did nuffin' wrong. Except when they do do something wrong. But then they still don't do anything wrong."
[22:07] Elias says, "You infuriate me."
[22:07] Heidi smiles.
(Heidi Augustus)


[22:08] Heidi resumes juggling occultic balls.
(Heidi Augustus)


[22:08] Heidi Augustus exclaims, "Honk!"
[22:09] Aki yawns
(Aki Kurokaiyo)


[22:09] Heidi Augustus says, "I have also dun absolutely nothing wrong and you can't pin anything on me."
[22:11] Elias says, ". . ."
[22:12] Heidi gets right up close to Elias. . and honks her huge red nose again.
(Heidi Augustus)


[22:12] Deeply inhaling. Was it time to take a page out of Dun's own book? "May my aim always be true.." Revealing a pie! Elias attempted to SLAM it into the newly discoverd clown's face..
(Elias)


[22:14] Heidi couldn't believe it. The richness of the cream. The scent of a freshly made pie. The perfect ripeness of the cherry garnishing the top. It was a perfect, still-warm pie to the face! As it hit her, she removed her mask and began to lick it all from her face like Scooby Doo.
(Heidi Augustus)


[22:14] Heidi Augustus exclaims, "Thanks for the dinner!"
[22:14] Elias asks, "How can you do this to me?"
[22:14] Heidi Augustus says, "You made your mistakes."
[22:14] Heidi Augustus says, "You've got nowhere to run."
[22:14] Heidi Augustus says, "The night goes on, as you're fading away."
[22:14] Elias says, "Atleast it ain't a pun."
[22:15] Ryu exclaims, "HIYAH!"
[22:15] Heidi Augustus says, "No need for puns when you're already having fun! My brain may be a smoking gun but for today at least I'm Dun. "
[22:15] Elias says, ". . . I'm going home now."
[22:15] Heidi Augustus exclaims, "Wait!"
[22:15] Heidi Augustus exclaims, "Honk my nose!"
[22:16] A single, gaunt hand reaches out to the two literal clowns duking it out in the middle of the street. His legs did not have the strength to get up, and were it not for his curse, he'd be a literal corpse.

"One of you, please god kill me."

One good eye looking at Elias in particular.
(Ryan Speranza)


[22:16] The drakenite runs right into moonfall and does and cartwheel right infront of Aki, she sticks the landing and then shoots out a stream of fire from both hands.

"I learned a new move!"
(Ryu )


[22:17] Heidi Augustus whispers something.
[22:17] Elias whispers something.
[22:17] Heidi Augustus whispers something.
[22:18] Elias whispers something.
[22:18] Heidi Augustus whispers something.
[22:18] Heidi Augustus whispers something.
[22:19] Heidi Augustus whispers something.
[22:19] She blinks several times while keeping her arms folded staring at fine young dragon.

"And that new move is?" She was curious this time to see what she had learn. This one seemed quite promising compared to the other kids she has seen around these days.
(Aki Kurokaiyo)


[22:20] Aki Kurokaiyo asks, "Or was it those flames hm?"
[22:20] Blinking repeatedly before setting a curious pair of eyes on the man. Gaunt, with the complexion and physicality of a corpse. How unfortunate..

Was Elias a killer? Absolutely Alas..

"If I have to suffer through this? Then you too shall suffer. My sincerest condolences."
(Elias)


[22:21] Ryu says, "It was the flames..."
[22:24] Ryu does a flip and then shoots the flames out again smiling, she wanted to get stronger, but it would take a long time to get to that untouchable point wouldn't it?

"I saw lots of cool stuff today!" She squealed.
(Ryu )


[22:25] There was no comedy behind his words about the goings of the clowns; the leper truly wanted to die. A single useable hand clenches, followed by movement under his skin. His muscles had been nearly wholly consumed by the bug colony now in him; even squeezing his hand was difficult.

"Damn you..-"

The bugs cease their agitated movement as his hand falls to his side. The collar around his neck meant that movement, even the smallest amount was agony. He simply pulls his hood up, and rests his arm on his legs.

He couldn't even die.
(Ryan Speranza)


[22:26] The clasp her hands together giving Ryu a light round of applause. "Nice,very nice. It looks like a getting quite well with you're magic." That was always a plus.

"So what did you see today hm? do tell me." She wasn't that curious but what else was there to do other than beat up people in Theria.

(Aki Kurokaiyo)


[22:29] Heidi Augustus says, ". . Suffer through what. . "
[22:29] Heidi squints.
(Heidi Augustus)


[22:30] A tiny hand raises to scratch her chin.

"Hmmm I saw demons fighting, I saw some angry people... ummm I saw a bunch of new magic like some big blood beams and stuff. Lots of freaky things. I also did a flip."

That was the brunt of her day really!
(Ryu )


[22:31] Ryu says, "I didn't really see much else sides that stuff."
[22:31] Ryu says, "Oh and we went into a tower, and some weirdo lady tried to make us get beat up by that guy with a bunch of eyes."
[22:31] Aki Kurokaiyo says, ".."
[22:32] Talla Botcher asks, "What tower was that?"
[22:33] That was definitely something unexpected from the young teen. "Mmm so you went over to that demon tower I assume an all that happened. That seems like quite the interesting day rather than standing around here." Blood beams though? She only knew one person who could shoot such things and that was Ame'vel herself.

"Must of been a deadly fight from the sounds of it...and yes...you always like flipping around, you're really good at that."

A hand comes up to her chin still thinking about what she had said.
(Aki Kurokaiyo)


[22:33] Elias asks, "Shall we escort you to Theria?"
[22:34] Heidi Augustus exclaims, "As long as you don't try and murder slash eat me, sure!"
[22:34] Elias says, "Nooooooooooo promises."
[22:34] Elias says, "I bet you taste funny."
[22:34] Heidi Augustus exclaims, "Thats what I said to Abaddon!"
[22:36] Ryu shook her head.

"Yup yup that's the one, some lady with some big ole scythe, a girl with horns shooting blood. And sneeeeeval… he was there too! Then I saw some blonde lady run out there to go fight a blonde guy. They weren't trying to wrestle with me, just kept talking about sacrificing us if we didn't scram so we left!"

She sat down and began to whistle now, she needed to learn flameslide like Altair said to.
(Ryu )


[22:37] Ears flicked forward as she listened to Ryu. Maybe she shouldn't go back to that place.

"Sounds pretty dangerous to me. Don't go back there okay?"
(Talla Botcher)


[22:39] "Yea what she said. Well just don't go back there alone at least or unless you got some beef with them? which I doubt." She was still to young to really piss of anyone from there but you never really know a days.

Some kids were annoying but this one didn't seem like that.

"However they all sound familiar to me..." She ask around later for the details of what happened.
(Aki Kurokaiyo)


[22:44] She shrugs.

"I mean, I don't think they'll be able to beat me up cause I gots some friendsiez over there but, if they do they'll have to fight me later in life!"

She sits down and yawns.

"Man... this stuff is cool to talk about but makes me tired yappin."
(Ryu )


[22:44] Ryu exclaims, "Aannnnnnd she's gone!"
[22:45] Talla Botcher says, "That's if they don't eat you first."
[22:46] "Ah...the power of friendship is powerful but having too many is something I see as a fault...be careful about that they might get in you're way." Aki nods twice and lightly yawns as well.

"That's some serious news though. If you somehow catch some other crazy scene let me know. I'm interested."
(Aki Kurokaiyo)


[22:47] Ryu says, "Hmmm Alright but only if you help me get a dragon."
[22:48] Ryan looks over to the small group of kids surrounding Aki, and the leper once again tries to reach a hand towards them. Grabbing attention, doing literally anything to convince them.

But he can't speak, he's still too weak from just walking beyond the vale and trying to speak to Elias. All he can do right now is raise a hand in their direction, and try to mouth words.

One of the worms burst out from his arm as he does so, falling to the ground and shriveling up.
(Ryan Speranza)


[22:49] Ryu hops over to the side of the stalls and then looks at Talla.

"Whatcha mean eat me? I'm pretty sure my claws would mess up anyone's tummy. Plus, I'm like.. really strong, I can lift five things of iron now."

She sat down and began to twiddle her thumbs.
(Ryu )


[22:51] Ryu says, "Plus... I'll knock some teeth out."
[22:52] Leaning against the stall finally turning her gaze to look at the prisoner she had saw the law time in the vale. Simply staring watching him weakly fall to the ground Aki folds her arms wondering what he wanted seeing the reach of that hand come forth.

"Hm..?"

Sadly those worms still were deeply stuck within his skin. Aki shook her head some, it was still disgusting to see but it was clear that Cameo's changed the last time from what she had seen...what a brutal way for torture.
(Aki Kurokaiyo)


[22:53] "That your boyfriend?"

She asks figuring that's the only logical reason a strong woman would be looking at a little wimpy guy like that! She began to draw in the dirt, a picture of her friends being eaten by demons.
(Ryu )


[22:55] "Please, kill me."

Hardly any louder than a whisper, Ryan attempts to stand, forced to use the table to keep him up. His left arm was totally broken; the rock that Cameo had used smashed the bone. His left leg, however, seemed to be completely deadened. Impacted by the colony of worms before he could receive his final blessing from the Supreme.

He looked dead, under his hood. Yet he moved, he attempted to speak, and there was a faint sense of mana around him, subdued still by the collar. He looked unnatural, almost like Eudocia did.

"I won't die normally on my own anymore, please just do it."
(Ryan Speranza)


[22:57] Sky blue eyes peered over towards the man.. or was it a living corpse? She wasn't sure. All she knew was there was disgusting worms coming out of his flesh. It was pretty gross.

"Don't think that is her boyfriend. Ughh.. what happened to that person?"

She asked as she was curious of how that guy had worms bursting out of his skin. Her sharp eyes catching the sight of a collar.

"Oh.. Prisoner or slave."
(Talla Botcher)


[23:01] "No, I'm I have a wife." That was her response to the them. Though her gaze lingers at the young man still keeping her arms folded but a death that was tempting something Aki could do within a blink of an eye.

It wasn't her business at all and killing him would only make things perhaps worse for her.

"I have no reason to kill you...but if I had the choice or was allowed to I'd do it." She stated. "It seems those within the vale or those witches find some sort of use for you?" Aki shrugs entirely she didn't really know the details at all.

"So...that is wish I cannot grant you." He was suffering clearly and she only frowns as if she had pity for him.
(Aki Kurokaiyo)


[23:02] Ryu says, "Oh that sucks.."
[23:05] Minerva Elinora says, "...."
[23:07] Ryu sat down and looked at Ryan and then to Aki, this guy wanted to die? Why? She didn't look too close to him, she figured it was for the best.

"Are you a boss lady?"

She decided to ask, just incase she was talking to someone cooler than she'd already painted her as.
(Ryu )


[23:07] Ryu says, "Hmmm..."
[23:08] Why.

He couldn't understand these people. Did mercy not exist? Were they not bloodthirsty, and a free and guiltless kill too much for one of them? The worms agitate under his skin, writhing like veins and bulging out for a moment before they calm.

One thing that they might mention is that, between breaths, there is green in some of his wounds. Plantlife, coffee grown to close certain injuries. Produced by Cameo, the caffeine would keep him awake no matter what.

He couldn't kill himself, and nature could no longer take it's course and end him via running out of blood, damage to his organs, or anything other than completely severing his head. Not while the one who bound him to 'life' was still alive, anyway.

"Why do you want me to suffer? I can't fight anymore. The collar won't let me cast magic. Why do you and the Supreme want to watch me suffer?"
(Ryan Speranza)


[23:13] "Me? I'm no boss...nah...nothing like that."

She didn't really want to say what she really was to people around here. However it was clear that this person wanted to see death so badly. The woman lets out a soft exhale still shaking her head.

"I'd put you out if that is what you truly wanted but...I do not want any problems with the Supreme. I'm not the type to torture those so gruesome like..." It wasn't her taste at all.

"I'd prefer ending those in a single blow but if I truly hated one another then perhaps I'd let that induvial suffer...not like you are though.."

Nothing close to that. Those worms still in the skin, that coffee bean stuck into his chest to close those injuries. She stared.
(Aki Kurokaiyo)


[23:13] The young woman would give a mortified look towards the young male.. Another one who was captured. A cadet who she believed to be push towards the highest respect. A male who had seemed outgoing, kind and powerfull in his own right...

Would be destroyed. A man who had been tortured beyond no recovery... A male who was punished beyond control... This look. This feeling would bring the female down towards her knees... The absolute atrocity that was destructive..

How could they... How could they create such suffering and malice towards a man such as this? How could they put a male through such pain and agony... Someone ruined to the point where the couldn't even give them a fitting end...

"Who....Who could have done something like this... This. This crosses lines beyond.... WHO! WHO COULD DO THIS TO YOU!?"

She yelled. The woman was hysterical for answers. And fast...
(Minerva Elinora)


[23:13] Make him suffer, watch him die? She didn't understand exactly what prisoners were but, she slowly became to feel uneasy. Is this what happened when someone you didn't precisely align with captured you..?

You beg to be killed..

What could they be doing here that could set the man off like that? She felt as if she should go on and do something else, yet her body would not move, almost like she wanted to see what happened.
(Ryu )


[23:14] El scratches behind his head.
(El)


[23:16] Ryu says, "Uhhh..."
[23:18] Aki Kurokaiyo says, ".."
[23:19] Kill him and get into trouble? Heck no. No one wants to upset the superiors in this village. Especially a kid that liked the trees in her home and this prisoner was begging to be killed? No she wasn't going to do it either. He probably did something very bad. This guy probably killed people too so why was he asking for mercy?

Her sky blue eyes peered over towards the female she saw earlier.

"Don't your people torture prisoners too? Don't tell me they don't cause I'm pretty sure it's a lie."

Talla had nothing to do with this but her nephew even though he was much older than her, still hadn't made it back to Moonfall. He was probably dead.
(Talla Botcher)


[23:20] Another worm bursts from the base of Ryan's neck, falling to the ground and writhing a few seconds before dying. The pain didn't even bother him anymore, he just gave a look to the one shouting behind all of them.

"I don't need pity, please just end it."

Without any access to his magic, he truly was a corpse that could barely move. The collar restrained him to only physical movements; nothing that could aid either his movement or his living status.

The worms inside of him had already grown accustomed to the near-fatal amount of caffeine in his body; it wouldn't be too hard of a stretch to imagine that they would grow resistant to his magical energy.

But even then, his body was in shambles. The colony had already eaten away at most of his muscles, enough that basic movement was now a hassle. Any future as a pugilist was over for Ryan, and that'sif he's even allowed to fight again.

"The Supreme made me unable to die. Not normally. I can't die until someone kills me."
(Ryan Speranza)


[23:20] Minerva Elinora says, "I.....Can"
[23:21] Minerva Elinora says, "....."
[23:21] Minerva Elinora says, "My collar."
[23:27] "If that is what the supreme did then? Suffer." Those words were ones no wanted to hear in Ryan's position and that was a fact. However that was fate at which none of that was in Aki's hands.

Glancing back to woman behind her. "No...it wasn't me." Then turning back to face the Cadet.

"You're people...those order of the first light are the same and are no different to watching people suffer and I'm a one of those victims who had suffered to you're kind...so to easily put you out of you're misery it just wouldn't be fair wouldn't it?"

Keeping her arms folded over her chest.

So many memories, so many that had died on that side of Osrona. There were nothing but scum in her mind. She hated them all with a passion.
(Aki Kurokaiyo)


[23:27] "Don't you have a sibling that wasn't given a chance Talla? - I do recall the summon of the exarch asking for all of us to turn ourselves in or they will die..."

The wolf would simply glance at the girl. "Do you think... they gave them a quick death?... do you think they didn't torture her while slandering your family name."


"And what of their death?- did they even announce it... did they kill them without a care in the world of your wrath - your anger.. your feelings." There was a slight grin that curled his lips.


"And yet this one would ask - for you to end it all to stop the pain, but when you wanted your sibling back - when you wanted them to atleast have a chance at a different life they denied it and killed them like a pig to the slaughter."

There was a slow growl coming from el- emmiting heat as he stood there. "Words looking for sympathy are pathetic.."

Talla - I think you have more of a say then the rest here- so I will allow you to show your rage... Silence him - beat him until he knows that when he suffers it should be in silence.."
(El)


[23:29] Ryu looked at El and then to Ryan.

He'd only seen this guy once and it wasn't pleasant at all, she inched closer around the corner of the stall to see what was going to happen. She listened to the both thinking about what the adults were saying, and then she whispered something to Aki.

She was dead serious too.
(Ryu )


[23:29] Ryu whispers something.
[23:29] Aki Kurokaiyo whispers something.
[23:30] El asks, "An eye for an eye... a tooth for a tooth- this is balance... this is law. Who suffers it depends on your heriarchy.. they made the choice not you - so why must you suffer for them?"
[23:30] El asks, "Do not think she is in the right?"
[23:31] El asks, "Do you not think she has a reason to be angry?"
[23:31] Ryan Speranza says, "I... cannot- "
[23:31] Ryan Speranza says, "move."
[23:32] Aki Kurokaiyo says, "Just don't kill him."
[23:35] The ookami was pissed off. Her body emitting a bloody aura. Why should he have any relief at all? Osarian had taken her nephew who wasn't even an adult yet. Why should he have the pleasure to die in piece when a child has not.

Talla took a step closer to the wormy guy.

"No.. I think you shall suffer for all eternity and the rest of you scummy Osarians. You didn't give Mylow a chance at all. He never came back home after your people left a note on the tavern trying to coax my brother out. You and your pathetic knights shall suffer in the pits of hell."

She was livid but she wouldn't relieve his suffering at all. The girl thirteen and was pissed off at the city people.
(Talla Botcher)


[23:36] Ryu whispers something.
[23:36] Aki Kurokaiyo whispers something.
[23:38] Ryu whispers something.
[23:39] Ryu thought that Aki was only a few years older than her, but it seems she was wrong about that! What was the chance of this happening! She figured she had about eleven kids or so.
(Ryu )


[23:40] The young woman's tears would swiftly fill her eyelids. She couldn't believe what she had just seen. That feeling of failure, the inability to protect those around you. That feeling that she couldn't do anything to stop it..

That feeling of helplessness had overwhelmed her... The feeling that people didn't know what was going on.. It had irritated her towards no end.. The fact that she couldn't. Couldn't even attempt to help the male in her position.

To her. The collar was a curse... It was a pain. That she couldn't do anything for him. That male would act and smile the brightest in her eyes... Even if they hadn't formally met. She couldn't even stop this from happening.

An oath she couldn't uphold for the young male.




She would think. The people watching the male suffer, and stay there punished... Forced to live in pain.. Only for the people to push him to suffer even more... She would attempt to Push her magical energies. And burst them forward. As spikes would swiftly push into her skin. And to no avail.. No magic would come forth strong enough to put a fitting end.

Her hands gripping the dirt below. Blood slowly dripping around her clothing as she attempts to attempt the impossible. Only to no avail. Nothing would come forth in order to free the male... She wouldn't allow the feeling to come forth. She would speak an Incantation. So that she can remember what she had worked to circumvent.

"Ut lux expurget impii, qui possidebunt terram!"

To those around her. It would be absolute jibberish, Using the Incantation as an oath, and a promise other than something of symbolic value.
(Minerva Elinora)


[23:42] "You think... you're the only person who's ever lost anything?"

If Talla really wanted to do something, she could easily. Any sort of magical assessment would reveal that he was practically a corpse with the collar on. Only alive by the hex of the Supreme.

"I was wrong to think any of you had compassion. I don't know your brother, all I know is that I wanted to save everyone. Have you seen how many people you and your kind have killed?"

The worms began to writhe under his skin again at his anger. Like an unnatural emotional response. It was painful, beyond painful. An unspeakable hell that none in this vicinity could understand.

"I just wanted people to be safe, and that means bringing people to be cleansed. So that they stop killing like savages. But I see you've lost it. You aren't even a beastkin anymore."

He slumped back down, hanging his head. Another thin trickle of blood from his lips. Eventually, he'd run out of blood. The curse meant it didn't matter, he'd just keep losing parts of himself.
(Ryan Speranza)


[23:42] El says, "Your people - have forsaken you... why haven't they came for you- do you wonder about this for hundreds of years allb ecause of your race- the way you are akin to the beast of the wild they have subjected your people to a life of poverty while they rest in their luxary.... Do you know that all of moonfall are your people who decided to fight back."
[23:43] Ryan Speranza says, "...who are you trying to convince? "
[23:43] El asks, "I think the question is - who are you?"
[23:43] Ryan Speranza says, "A dead man."
[23:44] El says, "But you are not dead yet are you..."
[23:44] El says, "There is mercy in this land.."
[23:44] El says, "Even for a traitor.."
[23:44] Minerva Elinora says, "Im sorry."
[23:44] Ryan Speranza asks, "...you call this mercy?"
[23:44] Ryan Speranza asks, "You call what they have done to me -mercy-?"
[23:44] El says, "Considering that your entrails are not on the ground."
[23:44] El says, "Yes."
[23:44] Talla Botcher says, "Least you are able to walk around."
[23:45] Ryan Speranza says, "You do -not- understand..."
[23:45] Ryu asks, "Entr.. a what..?"
[23:45] Talla Botcher says, "Innards."
[23:45] El says, "You are young when you grow up you will notice that it could be worse."
[23:45] Talla Botcher says, "His guts."
[23:45] Ryu says, "Eww.."
[23:45] Aki just shook her head..
(Aki Kurokaiyo)


[23:46] Talla Botcher says, "Guts are really interesting. They're warm and bloody and they tend to be quite squishy."
[23:47] Ryu says, "Remind me to never eat anything you cook lady.."
[23:47] Talla Botcher says, "..."
[23:50]
{LOAD GAME}

[23:50] Anger brings out a renewed strength to stand. His only functional arm brings his hoodie back down, and the true horror for what he is stares at them back.

Pale, gaunt features. What was once a muscular body has been left almost emaciated and corpselike. Lines of worms writhe under his skin, and strange plants grow where old wounds lay. Coffee plants, feeding caffeine into his system eternally and keeping him without rest.

He was akin to a corpse; his heartbeat low enough to count as one. Yet he moves, he exists without living. One eye is completely dulled over, while the other stares with a renewed intensity.

"I am dead. Your supreme will never let me experience my rest and be cleansed of this filth. I will remain, years and years and years after you have all died because I cannot. Not until she does."

More dead worms burst from his chest, falling dead on the floor. These were the plump and fat ones; the small ones still wriggled in his colony-body.

"You know nothing of suffering."
(Ryan Speranza)


[23:51] Ryu says, "I'm gonna barf."
[23:54]
{LOAD GAME}

[23:54] Aki only nods in approval...soon..
(Aki Kurokaiyo)


[23:56] The young woman would slowly tear up. The young male would slowly suffer as they couldn't do anything to solve the problem that had arrised… The young woman couldn't do anything about the problem that would arise.... But what she could do. Was give him good bidding.

The young woman would slowly walk up towards the young male. And rest her head towards the young man. Providing a whisper instead.
(Minerva Elinora)


[23:57] Endure, endure endure endure.

With a fervor, he picked his body off of the ground and limped for the Vale. He was allowed there, and at the very least he could find shelter from some of the monsters.

They weren't even human. None of them were. How could they watch him like this? How could they live their lives, knowing that this was the outcome of those who tried to defend themselves?

He limped, slowly, to attempt to quell the rage of the bugs inside of him. He'd be a shambling skeleton if they had all bursted at once; he wanted to at least keep some of his flesh.
(Ryan Speranza)
