Seishi Hidden Dev 8 Pt. 3

[21:47] Mistletoe says, ". . ."
[21:47] Mistletoe KNOWS he read Sors Ultovex's biography ..
(Mistletoe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:47] Sinael Anauel says, "Jesse."
[21:47] Saki Oshikawa says, ". . ."
[21:47] Holz literally doesn't know anything about Sors, he just stares at his autograph.
(Holz Lendora)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:48] Seishi really didn't know much so he refrained from making any guesses.
(Seishi)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:49] Genrira thinks about it for a moment not having real information on Sors. He only met the man three times. The only thing he knew about him was he had a lot of people collared. "Pets?" was what he whispered.
(Genrira)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:50] Mackenzie was a bit taken back by the hand thing, so she would slowly back away from said portal thingy as if in case someone answered wrong she wouldn't be attacked again...

She doesn't know much about Sors, and has never met him so..

She's silent.
(Mackenzie Oshikawa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:50] Sinael shrugs. He just knew the guy liked to create thing from the void.
(Sinael Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:54] The boy had actually found hints of this in the Libraries of Dawn, before the Fall.

The Ultovexian chronicles. An Auto-biography written by Sors himself.

There was a beating in the boy's chest, as he would skim the knowledge in his head. He would feel an inch of fear trickle down his body, slowly encompassing him.

The boy felt the anxieties beat in his chest . .

.. Wait ..

. . .
Sors.
.. A man who has found himself-
Constantly betrayed.
A man with little remorse.
A instrument of anger and rage.
From the abandonment--
Of Gods, and the Void alike.
From the stemmed relationship of his parents-
And, hinted from his first lover ..


It was a complete hunch. He hadn't even laid eyes on the man himself, yet he had heard the rumors. The Ultovexian heart would beat its rhythmic vibrations, occasionally revealing itself, and the Void manifested in him ..

.. The boy took a guess. Sor's heart. Or rather, the heart he once stole.

" .. Ereka?"

(Mistletoe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:56] {Item} You drop 'Glasses' Seargent Certificate.
[21:56] {Item} You picked up 'Glasses' Seargent Certificate. Dropped by Seishi. .
[22:00] {NARRATION} From the parchment a picture of an anatomically correct heart appears. It pumps for a bit before....

Fading away. A voice can be heard

"Close"

Before the door finally opens, revealing the way to the Menagerie.



The party would spend more time climbing down stairs. It's pitch black, and the only way to go is down.

Slowly as they descend they can hear... something. But that sense is quickly overtaken by two others. A great scent of the dead, of decay. Wafting in the air, it was probably the worst thing most of you have ever smelt.

The second? A feeling. Wrongness. Death. Fear. Despair.


It'd only grow stronger until... they hit the last step. It still remains dark but all those feelings remain.

The stairwell opens up into a massive pitch black room.


What do they do?
[22:05] Holz ventured along with the others, a putrid smell only getting stronger as they took steps down the menagerie's stairs... What kind of animals- Monsters... Creatures.. Beings.. What kind of things would Sors collect? There was no correct way to guess and so... The only thing to do was find out for themselves, an offhand look was given to Seishi. He'd state,

"Could really use some light in here." The same could have been said to Mistletoe, but Holz knew he'd at least get a better answer from his brother.
(Holz Lendora)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:06] The smell of rot and its pungent decay was sickening, but being the medic, he understood necrosis and its processes.

But what of it? Why the smell of Decay in a glorified zoo chamber ..?

The darkness would serve as a slight hinderance. IT reminded him of the many long nights that would accompany him as he would stroll, looking at the countless Stars overhead.

But feeling the lingering sense of dread, the boy understood something more wicked, far more intangible than any Occultic madness could ever perceive.

It was the essence of something more raw. Something that came only from ones' countless expenditures to the Void. Or perhaps even in their attempts at the unholy matrimony blurring the boundaries between Life and Death.

The Azraelite's chambers would radiate a sense of dread, but not one that would be so easily passed up--

What lay ahead, what lay before them, and the Militia-

It was simply to be expected.

Mistletoe gives a light radiance of his fire aura, illuminating the room in light. He reveals what is in the darkness.
(Mistletoe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:07] Hmm...Feels like home..

The thought crossed her mind, as the sense of death and decay washed over her being. Instantly her occultist presence grew a bit in response to this feeling. Her head would jolt in a bit of a twitch as so, her purple hues becoming darker and more feral the farther they descended..

All of these negative feelings that consumed her made it hard for her to keep touch with herself as the negativity greatly triggered the darkness from within her. However she was used to fighting the madness, so she would surely be okay. Though her darkness held her inside of itself...It would be hard to see her.

It seemed Mackenzie had hit the last step first, since she'd been the first to enter through the door....She was the closest, after all.

Ya know, taking one for the team and all.

The room was black as Mackenzie stood in it. She was alert now, prepared to be confronted even though the room seemed empty...

She was silent. Focused. Prepared. Unseen.
(Mackenzie Oshikawa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:08] Quietly she watched them experiment with the door tilting her head she only shrugged at what it could have been. Saki would of probably guessed pets as well since he had a lot of slaves every time she went into Dawn.

Mistletoe however answered it pretty close and soon the pathway opened up leading downwards into a an open dark path that reeked of death and despair. Those feelings she was pretty used to. Those exact feelings reminded her when she was a slave and had her very soul ripped from her and placed into the book of Zariel's.

She never liked those memories, she hated them, despised them, she didn't want to remember any of it, the pain.

She was breathing quite heavily once they entered the dark room trying to stop her own fears calming herself she began inhaling and slowly exhaling.

"Calm down..."

She told herself, keeping a hand on her blade she was ready for whatever was letting of this disgusting scent.




(Saki Oshikawa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:09] The feeling of unease started to over take him while he continued his path down the steps. He felt it to be similar to when Sors utilized his magic around him. Genrira's was a scumbag but he could only imagine the things Sors did.

Each step had him more on edge than before. He was willing to brave danger but he didn't want to fall to any traps Sors left on the way. As soon as the pitch black room came along he was curious as to what was left behind.

"Such an aura....the more I feel it the more I want to get to know him. I practice the occult and this seems to be something more." The man exhales reaching back to his staff deciding to surround himself in his aura assist in sheading light into the area.

"To think a man such as this existed and is still alive to this day."
(Genrira)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:09] It was so dark and probably wouldn't have matter if Seishi wore glasses or not. His aura only providing a sizeable light source as did the others who possessed flames. Although, Seishi's would burn brighter.

The sudden air was distasteful. It felt horrid. Why did it feel so...


Seishi continued on with the group. Watching every nook and cranny. Sometimes he'd get the feeling of being watched or maybe it was just him.

I hate this..

At any moment something could pop out and he was ready for it.
(Seishi)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:12] Mistletoe looks at Dry Elbows and nods.
(Mistletoe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:13] {NARRATION} Mistletoes light does as he wished. The room becomes bright and they realize.

It's more of a jail.


It was a long hallway, with cells lining the right and left side. As Mistletoes aura extends, more of the denizens awaken.

Within each of the cells lies a great number of Undead. Some still alive, the others finally at rest.

Each of them, however, each a skeleton that takes on the aspect of some animal.

A Mole, a short and stocky undead with long fleshy fingers. Skeletons with fleshy boar heads and hooves for feet and hands. An undead with a horn made of human flesh, that's covered in eyes.


The abominations keep going and going.


As they wake up they crowd to the cell bars. Banging, trying to get out. None of them able to break out of their cell - yet all so capable of reaching out and almost grabbing the party as they pass by.


The hallway continues for some time.
[22:14] Holz Lendora says, "Sors is an inspiration..."
[22:15] Saki Oshikawa says, "Disgusting."
[22:15] Mistletoe says, ". . ."
[22:15] Mackenzie is sure to keep out of grabbing reach, though she is intrigued...

Though their fingers did not interest her...

They were ugly.
(Mackenzie Oshikawa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:18] Genrira found the sight to be intriguing. Although he didn't voice his opinion the fact that these guys seem to be mixture of animals between dead and alive there was only one regret going through his mind.

He wish he could take them back to Briar and perform his own experimentation on them, however he only viewed them as dead weight and taking them back with any loot they gain was only a hassle. Unless they got out some how he decided to leave them until they finally rest for good.

"Mmm I see I see." was the only thing that escaped his mouth.
(Genrira)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:18] The light he had manifested seemed to be show off that the area was actually a huge jail. Saki however was disgusted with Holz's comment and the fact that the undead were almost actually trying to grab at her clothing as they walked by the room that kept on going for a while now.

She only wondered that something bigger and worse was soon to come.
(Saki Oshikawa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:23] Seishi was intrigued with the many what looked to be, experiments. Not that was too interested, but it wasn't everyday that you saw something like this.

"Don't touch me fool or I'll show you what it means to be part of two things at once."

Seishi's clone scoffed, disgusted by the entire thing.
(Seishi)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:24] The sickening revelation between life and death.
The misery of being caught in between.

The boy winced at the macabre scents of Death. The disfigurement and depiction of death and injury was surreal, at worst. At best? Unfathomable.

The many of Valmassians that would take up that of Necromancy and its practices, long hailed for its sanitary benefits, in that Undead were unable to catch disease--

It seemed more humane than anything. A proper act of medicine.

The reactions of the others seemed more questionable than the caged abominations, rattling out for their freedom. The grisly scenes of appalling figures dancing, suffering, all in the gentle embers of his flame would only aid in the ominous discretion.

Truly, the masterwork of one who had embraced the philosophies of the Void.
Entertainment, and nothing more.

Though the grey lines may find themselves crossed so often, concerning thatwith the corruption of the Lifestream, and the individual themselves, this would serve as a reminder. The Dark Arts of Azrael were not to be taken lightly.

These were the instruments of his creation.
Comparable to that of perhaps, a cruel God.

. . .
It's ..
.. Saddening.
To be kept in the state--
Of Perdition.
A Damnation--
A gift of Man.
. . .
But I see--
An extension of your power.
A misuse by some, a sacrifice by others.
But perhaps--
What are your thoughts on the manner,
Ultovex?


.. The boy continues perusing the halls. The overwhelming stench of decay was enough to make any sane individual vomit. The rest of the Militia would follow.
(Mistletoe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:24] The stench of death was alluring, and as always... He spoke his mind when he should've kept his mouth tightly shut. Honesty was a double-edged sword and now it was finally starting to show at least a semblance of a consequence for dear ol' Holz Lendora. Touched by a spark of inspiration, the man went wild-eyed into the unknown, marching forward as if his whole life was meant for this moment. Any fingers that might've been aiming to lash out at the lumberjack would be subsequently frozen. He removed his journal from his bag and began to scribble bits and pieces of what he saw, illuminated by Mistletoe's gentle embers.

Chimeras... Undead as well, surely they had to have been his first experiments. This was all he needed.
(Holz Lendora)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:28] {NARRATION} With the fall of Dawn, strange things have happened.

Perhaps it's because of the Depravity spread by Necromancy, Chaos, and other things. Maybe it's just how Agartha works, bringing the worst out of anything that lands here.

As they continue down the halls, things start to shift. The Undead decay, fall over and apart. They begin sliding across the floor creating a rushing rapid of bones and rotten flesh. All running to a central point within the room.

Together they lump and form a rough simulacrum. A fake body for themselves. Hands join and bones interlock creating a Giant of Undeath. Yet, it wasn't enough. Seemingly at it's command the iron bars are ripped from their holding spot to join the Undead. Reinforcing it's body, creating a bird cage around its head.


A massive yellow light comes forth, turning a bird cage into more of a light house.

A roar.
[22:31] The motions of the Undead would find themselves in a state of self preservation, even after their time had passed.

Corpses, bodies of decay, and the corrupt would spread, a result of wanton murder and indiscriminate chaos.

Often times, such darker elements would be seen as 'shortcuts-to-power'.

Mistletoe readied his staff. So this was the great works of the 'Esteemed'.

Revolting, nonetheless, with hesitation in his action.


(Mistletoe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:34] Genrira could feel the cosmic magic from the undead body. His eyes shot open but the most important thing was there seem to be an excess of cosmic magic running through the undead's body. As fascinated as he was by this he felt something.

Danger!

Yes the excess amount of cosmic energy seem to have given him wings but there has to be a lot more to it then just that. A look of decisiveness came across Genrira's face and he drew his staff pointing it at him.

"Don't take this creature lightly. A swift offense is great when it comes to putting one down." His heart was raging now expecting that there wouldn't be any mercy. This creature was already dead unlike the Cyclops. There couldn't be any fear of death running through it like the cyclops had once it was defeated.

Genrira glanced at the ones around him. While observing this he had gain inspiration but making it out alive came first and foremost.
(Genrira)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:35] Something felt off.

The room began to get ominous. The flow of the air began to tense up as they continued. Seishi's glasses fogged up and it took him a minute to clean them fully in this dark. Bones and metal clanking against the ground. Seishi didn't think much of it.

"Seishi.."

A call out from his clone. He'd look up with a seemingly worst vision only seeing a silhouette. The ground shook and a roar followed. Seishi quickly returned his spectacles to his face and looked up in sudden shock.

"In all of Felera…"

Quiet words escaped, quickly thinking, he finds and grips on Mackenzie making sure she was right near him. His brother, he'd know would be completely satisfied with this sight.
(Seishi)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:36] Her eyes would widen at the giant beast that slowly started to lumps of bodies from the undead and skin start to drag across the floor. What was this? She hasn't seen anything like this and it was creepy as hell to her. Saki jumped for a moment feeling the waves of energy slide past her and form slowly in front making and creating a giant beast.

"Oh my..."

Placing a hand on her blade she drew it as the flames forming around her right hand creating the claw that sharpened enhancing her strength twice as much as before. It's just as what Saki expected. Some giant experimentation that wanted to kill them all.

"Be careful everyone..."

She didn't want much people getting hurt from this creature as well as herself, she wanted injuries to a minimum cause she cared for everyone.

(Saki Oshikawa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:37] Trapezing along the hallway, ensuring that no wretched undead dare touch his magnificent winter weather warming wear... Was this also another design by Sors? Was this all a part of his experiments to design such perfect undead? Surely, a breakthrough came about one day to turn him into the living legend. As it all pooled together, a cavalcade of rotten flesh and calcifying bones became more, they became something much more than he could ever expected! This was mythical, in a land once thought impossibility Agartha brought even divinity to their knees. Holz understood the continent's corrupting nature far too well, it's magnificent secrets alluring the poor boy into a spiral of sin.

This hulking behemoth brought the lumberjack speechless, it made the man waver in resolve. The roar nearly deafening him and bringing his senses inward for moments. A smile was plastered onto his face, this would be lovely to dissect, pick apart... To grow and understand Necromancy and bring him closer to Azrael. Snow poured from his staff, he prepared himself for the worst...

He'd hope to the dark lord that his friends and family would come out of this fight alright.
(Holz Lendora)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:38] Mackenzie wasn't sure why she hadn't felt something like this happening sooner. Surely the comfort she felt with the darkness should have been some sort of an indicator of what was to come and just how deep into a mess the Briar's militia had gotten themselves into.

Purple hues watched with a slight interest, as the body parts of the corpses dragged along the ground to form that of one massive being of undead. Among the metals from their own cells, as well.

Hm, clever.

Her weapon had pretty much been in her hand this entire time, but now her fist would tighten around it. This battle would surely be a test of everyone's skill, and all she could hope was that she along with all of the friends that she now considered family...Would make it out alive.

Though she'd never admit that.

A thick red substance began to form around the outsides of her dark aura, and an intense iron smell filled the air. It was a blood like substancethat was around her now, as she called for her blood magic to aid her in battle. Her hues had seemingly darkened more than before, and she would smirk a small smirk of....Hunger? Lust?

Also aware of how close Seishi was to her made her feel more confident. She was ready to tear this thing apart. Her face would contort, giving into the temporary calling of the occult madness. A crooked smile falling onto her face, those familiar crazed giggles filled the air.

She was amused.

"Oh my my, what do we have here. Death going to meet death, how ironic this will be..."

What a weird, creepy, woman.
(Mackenzie Oshikawa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:39] Holz forgot to mention that he'd be now quaffing down his potion of rejuvination.
(Holz Lendora)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:42] Seishi says, "Leave Jiren to me.."
[22:48] {NARRATION} if Sinael isn't back by the time Aeton dots we'll uh
start without him I guess??
[22:49] Seemed to have dozed off, just going with the flow. Randomly though, apparently because his occult mind completely forced it out of his head and the travels here didn't register but now he was, inside Sors lab with the rest of the crew. The occultist would chuckle for a moment before exploding in a mad hatter laugh as he flew towards Genrira.

"What a turn of events huh? One big guy after another haha." He'd state reading his staff once more as he prepared to fight against the giant creature. He didn't know how much he actually missed up until this point but the entire party seemed intact. Onwards to death.
(Aeton Hawk)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:59] Sinael severed the skeletons head because it hurt him very badly.
(Sinael Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:59] Sinael Anauel says, "Stop.."
[22:59] Mistletoe says, ". . ."
[23:00] {NARRATION} [everyone roll]
[23:06] {NARRATION} [Holz 4 day
Aeton 1 day
Saki 4 day
Mckenzie 4 day
Mistletoe 4 day
Genrira 12 day
Seshi 12 day.

Remember. Under 100 TOTAL vit, you're dead

now do /roll for loot
]


The beast crashes through their group. A crashing tide of death and flesh. Its sickness spreads to everyone who fights it. Dark Fire comes from its lighthouse, disabling any who'd look at it. While its Dark Cosmic searches for anyone, calling out for their souls to join it.

Holz, Saki, Mackenzie, and Mistltoe are struck by it's fire. Scarring their bodies and letting them share in Sor's despair.

Genrira and Seshi are exposed to the Lighthouse's ray. Causing them to feel... split. Another person in their own body, almost. Seshi would have the most fun with this, of course.

While Genrira? The cosmic power also overloads his own circuits. Blowing them out as the excess Star Power vents itself from his body.

By the time the fights over, the zoo is destroyed. Anything that once was is gone. Scraped up and ruined fully.


The Beast would be felled by Sinael.
[23:12] The male chuckled for a moment as he tilted his head, nothing seemed to actually hit him from the monster and for the most part his body has came out unscratched. He was of course injured, but he didn't look nearly as bad as anyone else in the party. The male let out a loud heckle for a moment before retreating to his thoughts with his other self.

"So far so good, and you thought I was going to get us killed haha."

"We aren't through this yet, we still need to push forward. You have plenty of chances to risk our lives as we keep moving forward."

"Mhmm, or maybe we will come out of this better then ever *internal laughter that echo's to the other persona.*"

"With you in the lead I doubt that..."

The internal struggle for who would control or lead the body forward had began to start with Aeton having letting the occult embodiment be in control for too long. He would begin fighting against the individual, his occultist side as he attempted to take control of the body and hopefully make sure that they both get out of this alive. However the resistance was too powerful, the occultist would stay as is with a smile that reached from ear to ear and a mad heckle being let out anytime something was happening of any importance regardless if it seemed funny or not.
(Aeton Hawk)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:12] The flames bathed the boy's body, engulfing him in the fumes . .

The mound of corpses would enact their vengeance on the living in one spiteful movement. A blast of heat, effectively searing the boy's body and blazing his skin.

But with it all said and done, the beast had been slain and the mound of corpses began to fell.

With that, the group would begin to recuperate, mending to their injuries . .
(Mistletoe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:13] ** sawbones has inflicted an injury upon Seishi. ("Black Hole Sun", "The Dark Lighthouse passed through you. Causing your multiple personality disorder to... become more evolved. What this means is up to you. Physically there is a long black streak of dark cosmic magic that goes across your chest.", "Temporary", "Duration: Long (12 days)") **
[23:16] The woman would weave in and out starting to see the movement patterns of the giant walking corpse of decayed flesh that rotted with each step across the grounds.

It reeked badly Just getting closer and closer annoyed her but she would deal with it for the time being as her claw enhanced her strength clawing and ripping through the beast with each slash from her blade shrouded in flames and aided with the winds.

Soon it came finally as the beast was slain by the cave guardian Sinael dealing a decisive blow against it.

Saki however was injured not badly but she was struck by the flames that would scar her for some time now.
(Saki Oshikawa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:17] Sinael dashed forward poised to kill, the undead. It was a brutal fight, one he didn't want to partake in. He wanted to wait for a moment to dash in, as a physical fighter with feeble bones like his father. He was not suited to this kind of combat.

Yet the thrill of the hunt kept him swinging, he stomped through the ground, leaping to take flight. His weapon sweeping out in a wide crescent, blackened by ominous dark mana. He was enraged, being struck with a beam of cosmic energy, it wasn't what he wanted.

"Disgusting.."

He roared, swinging his blade in a typhoon like motion, severing the skeletons head clean off. He then drained its powersource, storing the cosmic energy, along with the void like energy, into his blade.

It was the way he decided it would die, void of energy it would be unable to move.

"Join me."

Several voices whisper and rejoice as he adds another to his vessel.
(Sinael Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:17] Genrira had the cosmic power taken inside of his body from the beast's attack. His body was blown back and he went across the ground. He felt similar to what Seishi had done to them yet it was less severe over all.

The man tried to pick himself off the ground but needed a moment. He heard laughter causing him to pant and sweat. The Kindling cosmic magic and his occult madness was resonating with each other. It was throwing his mind out whack over all.

He finally stands up aiming to try and gather his cosmic energy once more but with Seishi's mana contaminating some of his circuits as well as the Kindling throwing more of his circuits out of whack it became completely hard to use magic over all.

"Shit to think I'd suffer a loss like this!" A hint of anger was shown in the tone of his voice. He wanted to lash out and his desires for destruction could be felt. It was hard to connect back to reality from what he was seeing. The man saw notjust one but many of them now. "Shit shit shit." he look panic.
(Genrira)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:18] Sinael is also emo now.
(Sinael Anauel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:19] Mistletoe .. squints as he tries to discern what is real and what isn't ..
(Mistletoe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:19] Mistletoe says, ". . . "
[23:20] Victory for the militia of Briar.

White hair flowed ever so gently with the light movements coming from the Oshikawa. Her crazed laughter only intensifying throughout the battle against the walking creature of death. The essence of her own darkness, shooting up from beneath the earths surface. Surrounding her ad enveloping her within it, and burning the beast as it came closer to her.

This slowed it down, giving her time to do the proper steps to land her attacks.

With a menacing stare to accompany her crazy giggles, her hands would lift into the air toward the beast. Redness could be seen forming from beneath her fingernails. Oozing, leaking, then pouring out from beneath. Blood in all its full glory escaping her body, responding to her will and only hers alone.


Blood mages were..Rare...Mackenzie however, was magnificent.

Though she was small, her movements were skillful. Blood corrupting and circulating through the beast,damaging it and slowing it more and more. With a spin, her skirt would catch the breeze. Blowing upward to give it an umbrella effect, as she shot whip after whip toward the beast. Ultimately ending with a beam.

However the beast was quick. It had managed to shoot out fire, and it hit. It hit hard. Mackenzie had managed to leap out of the way for the most part, though the left side of her body was covered with burns. Only half of her had managed to evade the strong power of her opponent.

She let out a scream, but it sounded almost like....A scream of pleasure? In her crazed state of mind, she went into a fit of giggles...Though they sounded pained, yet pleasured at the same time. Her burns were oozing, but it seemed she was too out of her mind to really do much else other than sit there and ride the wave of her occultic craze out...
(Mackenzie Oshikawa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:20] There battle was arduous, hard-fought… If it weren't for their combined might, he wasn't sure he'd come out alive.. Never to be seen again. As the fight progressed and the magi continued to best the amalgam of experiments, he couldn't help but keep his eyes affixed to it, not simply because he necessarily had to but... The bodies that were ravaged for the sake of furthering knowledge, for the sake of it. For pure fun. It managed to get to him. A traumatic experience? Possibly.

A momentary lapse of judgement, a false move and he accepted the brunt of the great Lighthouse's attack. The man's body was seared, the smell of cooking flesh... Especially his own, ravaged his nostrils and enveloped him. This was more than he could expect, more than he wanted to. The image of an entire being cascaded upon by several thousands of what could only be described as... 'things'... Chiseled into his retinas as a reminder of what he msut become, of what he must do to achieve his goals and return home.

As punishment. The man took a deep breath, watching the goliath fall at the hands of someone Accursed. Although, he didn't look right. No one did. A reflection of their inner beast? Whatever it was, it was certainly tied to the very experiments that they had passed while passing down the hallway.

"I see." He paused, he didn't dare describe what he saw. But it was safe to say, he would keep distance from those that had changed forms.
(Holz Lendora)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:28] The fight was continuous, tough, and completely frustrated. If Seishi had to guess and jumble it all into one. It was like fighting Aeton, Genrira, and himself at the same time. Despite knowing exactly how both of them fought and himself, obviously. It was difficult since their power boost was too immense for him to handle. It was good thing they were all their together.

Seishi flashed around the battlefield, but it seemed the monster would get the drop of him. All Seishi could see was a dark flash of light heading for his way. He sensed cosmic mana entering his body and taking over. His clone, returning to him and beginning to manifest. The flesh on his chest succumbed by the darkest mana he's ever witnessed as he took a knee to the ground.

Don't worry... I got you. Stand up, take my hand..... and perish..

Seishi's vision goes dark. He couldn't seeanything anymore and now he was left in a complete abyss after being struck. The others would see him on the ground and suffering emotionally.

"Ahhhh... This is exactly what I needed... Thanks to that whatever the fuck that was. I now have semi-complete control over you, Seishi. This will be fun."


Damn it..
(Seishi)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:28] {NARRATION} One very special piece of loot could be found, of course. Within the sea of the dead, a large skeletal... "staff" is seen. A bright ruby in the center, and an aura of bloodlust around it.

Seemed nice.


With The Kindling Dead, the only way was forward. And so they went. Through the hall, up another set of stairs. Skipping the Sewer Level, they'd arrive.


Marble, Gold, and other upper class materials. Large brass doors and walls filled with little lockboxes, each marked with specific numbers.


They found their way into the vault.


At the center, a large book.
[23:28] {Item} You picked up Vitae. Dropped by sawbones. .
[23:28] {Item} You drop Vitae.
[23:28] {Item} You picked up Vitae. Dropped by Seishi. .
[23:29] {Item} You drop Vitae.
[23:29] Aeton Hawk asks, "We should gather what we can carry huh?"
[23:30] Aeton Hawk asks, "Genrira how you feeling?"
[23:31] Mistletoe puts a bandage on Saki.
(Mistletoe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:31] {NARRATION} SIMP
[23:32] Genrira asks, "You really want to know?"
[23:32] Genrira says, "We hav seventeen of them now."
[23:33] Holz watches Mistletoe as he simps.
(Holz Lendora)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:35] Saki Oshikawa says, "T-thanks..."
[23:35] Holz Lendora says, "tch"
[23:37] Being mostly fine he would look onwards towards the scene for a moment before tilting his head from side to side. He for the most part felt fine, however occultism was fighting itself within his body and this caused him great pain. Instead of moaning in agony however the occultic laughter would get worse from the males direction. Literally not shutting up. He looks onto the scene of jewels and other various loot as he floated over towards the locked boxes with numbers on them pointing at the for the others to see.

"Seems important Yes? Yes." He'd quickly inquire before looking over towards the staff for a moment.

"That staff practically has your name on it Mack haha." The only thing that would make it more perfect for Mack was if it was in the shape of a giant finger. He looked towards the rest of the group curious on what they where going to take he howeverwould go towards the lock boxes individually and attempt to burn them open with his shadow flames. He cared not if they where booby trapped or anything of the sort as this was Occultic Aeton. He had no reason within him nor did he really fear the chance of dying here. He embraced it, because regardless if he was able to make it out of here alive or not the other, would work hard in an attempt to get rid of him completely in his words fuse them together to become one entity.

He'd wait to see what the results of burning the locks on the lock boxes where. Waiting for everyone else to grab their loot.
(Aeton Hawk)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:39] Mistletoe approaches the book in the center and dusts it off. He picks it up and takes it with him. He got what he wanted, and any other treats would fall into his possession.

Especially if he found a pair of decorative horns or an interesting staff . . .


(Mistletoe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:40] Holz looks at the big book in the center, staring at it... Before anything, before even simping… The man would walk over to the book, examining it. Everything about it intrigued him, it was large, it was in the center of THE vault. But that wasn't the case, Mistletoe SIMPS and GETS his shit, leaving Holz to pick up whatever the hell he's able to get.
(Holz Lendora)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:41] Mackenzie had taken the staff that had been on the ground, careful with how she handled it. The teeth covering its handle intrigued her, though she wished it had been fingers...Teeth were interesting enough, though. So she'd hook it to her back and decide to keep it.

Then whatever else she would find, she would swiftly pick up for the taking. The book had interested her for but a moment, but she ignored it for the most part.
(Mackenzie Oshikawa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:41] "Well, the least I could do for you is get that... It seems to be the thing that interested you the most during our fight with the one-eyed pirate."

Seishi would get up, setting foot in the vault, finally. His hand searches for his needs. A book on how to release your inner flames to exert more power. Perfect. His second personality would definitely enjoy using this for their-selves.

"Azure Flames, huh? Sounds weak."
(Seishi)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:42] Mistletoe would look through any of the excess lockboxes for any other treats if any existed ..
(Mistletoe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:42] {NARRATION} Mistletoe would find a sword.

A very nice looking sword.
[23:42] {NARRATION} give it to her and you're a simp

[23:44] Aeton is apparently taking a long time burning these locks.
(Aeton Hawk)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:45] {NARRATION} aeton roll a d20
[23:46] Genrira decided to take a look around. He was hallucinating like crazy so he was checking places that did not make sense. He didn't know what he was going to find. He kept grasping at air while hearing a mad laughter. Of course he was freaking out but the guy was trying to keep it together.

Besides the book he was wondering what interesting things he could find. An interesting staff, note in experiments anything to make what he suffer completely worth it.
(Genrira)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:46] {NARRATION} Aeton got lucky.

It was the Reverse Roll, for rolling a 2 he gets an extra piece of Arcanium.

Genrira's wandering produced nothing, this time.

Would Holz like to pick up the Book?
[23:47] Holz WOULD like to pick up the Book.
(Holz Lendora)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:47] {NARRATION} oh fuck

(Mackenzie Oshikawa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:50] {NARRATION} As the book is lifted, the platform it rests upon lowers.

One of the many secret vaults of Dusk was breached, and because of this. The intruders will be met with force.


A sickly monster, plague and human combined, emerges from one of the brass vault Doors.


Incapable of speech it lumbers over to the party and begins its frenzy.
[23:50] Mackenzie Oshikawa says, "............"
[23:50] Mackenzie Oshikawa says, "I hate all of you."
[23:50] Aeton Hawk says, "Oh god it's ugly."
[23:51] Holz Lendora says, "Perhaps I shouldn't have.."
[23:51] Mistletoe says, ". . ."
[23:51] Mackenzie Oshikawa says, "YA THINK"
[23:51] {NARRATION} This being felt different than an undead, and it proved that it was. Multiple eyes sprout out up and around the creature. Watching it in its frenzy.
[23:51] Seishi whispers: I suggest you this boy one of those elixirs..
[23:51] Holz Lendora says, "We're getting out of this alive. We will."
[23:51] Mackenzie Oshikawa says, "....Can I keep it."
[23:51] Aeton laughs hysterically while looking at it.
(Aeton Hawk)

[23:51] Aeton Hawk asks, "Does your mom call you cupcake?"
[23:52] Genrira says, "Looking like Nym's baby daddy."
[23:52] Mistletoe eyes that book ..
(Mistletoe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:52] Mistletoe says, ". . ."
[23:52] Mackenzie Oshikawa says, "I wanna keep it as a pet."
[23:52] Mistletoe wiggles the potion in front of Seishi. A fair trade, yes?
(Mistletoe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:52] Saki Oshikawa says, "No."
[23:52] Holz covets the book as if it were his only son.
(Holz Lendora)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:52] Mackenzie Oshikawa exclaims, "YES!"
[23:55]
{LOAD GAME}

[23:56] Holz Lendora says, "Hey"
[23:56] Holz Lendora says, "Seishi."
[23:56] Seishi asks, "What?"
[23:56] Holz Lendora says, "Here have this one."
[23:56] {ITEM} Traded item with Holz Lendora: Elixir Of Healing
[23:57] Seishi says, "You're smart."
[23:57] Holz Lendora says, "Why wouldn't I bring the TWO we brought?|"
[23:57] Mackenzie uses some of that lax.
(Mackenzie Oshikawa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:57] Seishi says, "Ah.. better. Now his body is less useless."
[23:57] Seishi says, "Wait.."
[23:58] Holz downs some lax, maybe it'd fix him.
(Holz Lendora)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:58] It was returning.


Seishi was finally back in control!
(Seishi)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:58] Seishi asks, "Am I still alive, Holz?"
[23:58] Holz Lendora says, "Yes."
[23:58] Aeton Hawk exclaims, "Onwards to death!"
[23:58] Holz Lendora says, "Shut up."
[23:58] Seishi says, "You lied.."
[23:58] Holz Lendora says, "None of us are dying here, not now."
