Ouroboros Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Tick 25Harld found himself seemingly surrounded as the Jaguar Warriors, their weapons ineffective against his rocky hide, beat at him repeatedly with their bladed clubs. His quarry was taunting him, his brothers had fallen in battle, and puny mortals were batting at him with the strength of infants. With a great heave of his legs he leaped up and over the heads of the assembled warriors. His body somersaulted in through the air twisting as he descended toward Sapphire, his legs spread to ensure his landing. With a thunderous crash of breaking glass and twisting metal and came down on the very same car that Sapphire was perched up, her naked body glistening in the evening light. He wasted to time and immediately lashed out with a gnarly first. Off balance from his landing, his target a sinuous form of divine grace, Harld's hand found nothing but air.Click to reveal..

Sean Cassidy Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Tick 27Moving with the force of the Troll's landing, Sapphire fluidly vaulted from the car, her naked from rotating in the air to land facing away from the Troll. Her shapely legs flashing, the sound of her heels like rapid fire gunshots, Sapphire darted up Ipswich with remarkable swiftness, her hands to her breasts to subdue their abundant mass. Looking up, she realized that she was heading directly for the entrance to Fenway Park. Jumping off a parked car, she gracefully broke her forward momentum, and turned the other way, heading for Boylston Street, hopefully leading the Troll away from the unsuspecting crowds at Fenway.Click to reveal..

Adrian Moss Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Tick 27; Next Tick 30The Beast went on after Sapphire and Ayato went on after him. Reider had to keep up. He had to ..."Wow! Would you look at that shot," he panted out as one of the Amazon's blew a huge chunk from the troll. Harld was going down. Whoever got to him first would gain that glory. How the odds had shifted."Hang on. We are coming Sapphire. We are coming," he shouted, axe and knife in hand.His blood was pounding and he was becoming monofocused on this prey. A sudden pang of jealousy filled him as he realized Ayato would have the first crack at Harld. Most likely, he would take the last Troll down and the Glory would be his. Better his win though, than Sapphire hurt. Family came first.DV: 5Reider: 4L DV5 WP6/7 LP1/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their pelt armor and the shields and weapons striking a sharp contrast to the baseball fans who had started to watch the entire debacle unfold through the parking lot's chain link fence. To the onlookers it appeared as though some sort of native American festival had been interrupted as the Jaguar Warriors in their traditional garb and weapons prepared for another futile assault on the giant man.

Adrian Moss Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Tick 28; Next tick 31The taste of eitr, vine, and stone still fresh in his mouth, Vjorn caught the sound of firearms being discharged in the back parking lot. Sapphire was in danger and most likely Reider and the oriental looking Scion had given chase. Vjorn followed him, his powerful legs pumping and propeling him across the floor. His clawed feet found purchase and he was soon leaping in great strides out the door in hot pursuit.Out in the open air once more, Vjorn quickly followed the carnage in direction of the troll. He burst past the two amazons, rifles in hand, as they searched for their next shot. Next he spotted Reifer pursuing the bladesman. The Bladesman was hot on the heals of a gang of chocolate skinned warriors who had brough clubs to a troll fight, but they were serving as a distraction. The race for the death of this abomination from the depths of the earth was on.Click to reveal..

Ouroboros Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Inside Nick toed the corpse of the second troll watching as it changed from living flesh to inanimate earth, rock and plant matter. Stepping back he, Travis and Guillermo found that the bodies would soon be indistinguishable from a few wheelbarrows full of detritus from someone's yard. Explaining how they got into the club would be tough but far easier than the presence of a pair of bodies. The two cops, Frank and Ted, walked over to their friend, "What the hell was that?"*****Ayato's blade peirced flesh and bone, earth and vine. A spray of blood, sap and tainted water exploded from the body as it split into halves and tumbled in opposite directions. The last of the trolls crumbled into earth an vegetation within seconds even as people watched through the chain link fencing of the parking lot. Parents and children, college kids heading to the bars and clubs on Landsdown Street, all had seen the seconds long scene; the nearly nude stripper who now ran toward the traffic of Boylston Street; the hulking brute of a man who had torn a steel door from its frame and tossed it like a Frisbee; the Asian man who, with a gleaming katana, had sliced the giant in two. No matter that no charges would be pressed, that the stripper, one of many to flee the club naked or nearly so, would offer an embarrassed apology and pay a fine to the city, that there would prove to be no corpses, the rumors would spread, the city of Boston had its first true taste of the a real urban Legend. Five men and a woman would stand out from the story, their features and deeds would grown of their own accord with each retelling in both flattering and unflattering ways.

Courier Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Nick looked at something that wasn't there for several moments then asked, "You saw a big ugly guy, right?" Nick's question wasn't rhetorical. On some level the two policemen realized that although Nick'd been right there he wanted to confirm what they'd seen. Ted nodded.Nick gave a half smile and said, "Officially? I'm thinking three big, ugly guys who didn't feel pain and who acted like they were on PCP came in and started killing people. After having been shot repeatedly, they fled out into the parking lot where we assume a getaway car took them off somewhere to die."Nick paused to see if either officer had any questions or comments on the party line then continued, "I think that will work a lot better on paper than saying something like a trio of old style Trolls came in and started eating people." Nick paused again to see how they were taking this. His last statement might be taken as a grim humor if they hadn't just lived through what they'd lived through.

Adrian Moss Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Reider took a deep breath in and looked around. The breath wasn' from an fatigue, but from the exhilaration of his first Titanspawn battle. While he had not succeeded admirably this time out, he had been wounded and survived and that had to count for something. In the vision of blind youth, he knew he would do better next time.He spotted somebody and for a second he admired her shape. Then he realized it was Sapphire and that she was out in the night air, being watched by dozens of non-paying non-customers. Somehow that seemed to be wrong. Reider rand up to Sapphire and took off his suede vest and wrapped it around her."You okay, Phae? Let's get you inside."She was upset and is slowly sunk in that it had to do with the death of Stacy and the hurt put on the other amazons. They were her friends too, sometimes lovers."We need to get the girls to the hospital, Phae. They fought bravely."With that, he tried to lead Phae inside and way from the eyes of strangers. She wasn't performing anymore. She was hurting and needed her family now.Vjorn came bounding up and barked at the crumbling troll. He trotted up and licked Ayato's hand, looked him in the eyes, one warrior to another, then bounded off after Sapphire and Reider. He came up to the two Scions and immediately moved to the other side of Sapphire, rubbing his fur against her thigh and looking up at her to see how badly her mind had been battered in this fight. As she touched his pelt, he whined softly to her, sharing her pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Cassidy Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Sapphire let Reider lead her back into the club, hugging his vest closed about her buxom figure, her free hand absently stroking the immense wolf's silky fur. Her jaw was locked tight holding in the sorrow, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. It slways seemed that, in conflicts with creatures of myth, it was those without ichor flowing in their veins who paid the price. First Minotaurs, and now Trolls had taken friends and lovers, family, away from her.Entering the thrashed interior of Venus, Sapphire's eyes were immediately drawn to the remains of Stacy Kurick, that someone had been kind enough to cover with cloth. Helena and Christine tended to the unconscious forms of Tracy and Dahlia, doing what they could until the paramedics got there.Sapphire slowly walked towards Stacy's shattered form, the glass of broken bottles crunching softly under her heels. She settled to her knees by Stacy's remains, and pulled back the cloth covering her face. She closed Stacy's staring eyes, and smoothed the hair from her strong, beautiful face, a gasp of grief escaping her before she could rein it in."Blood and Heart, Stacy, may Ishtah welcome ya to her side." Sapphire's husky voice was hard with pain and determination, devoid of its usual sexy purr, though her native accent was stronger than usual. "I meant for this place to be somewhere where people, Scion and not alike, could relax and fuhget the buhdens that trouble them, if only for a time. Anyou, true Daughters of Ishtah paid the price in blood to keep me, us, and this place safe.""I can do no less," Sapphire said, her voice strong with promise. Her hands drifted towards Stacy's cloth covered boot, searching for something."Fate pulled six godlings of five pantheons together. There is a power in that and I'm fuckin' pullin' back on those strings." Sapphire rose to her feet, blazing eyes glaring up at the heavens, a knife in her hands. Her sheer presence dominated the club, her voice reaching every ear clearly, spellbinding everyone with her commitment. Sapphire's God-touched beauty, even disheveled and speckled in blood, drew every eye. "I sweah to keep this place a haven, for Scion and Muhtal alike, free of Titanspawn. Blood for blood, I so sweah." Sapphire cut into the ball of her hand, the red ichor flowing freely, like drops of rain upon barren ground.[OOC]SapphireActivating Inspirational FigureEveryone who can hear her gets a point of Willpower back.WP 5/7, Legend 4/9, 1L taken (cut on hand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Reynes Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Ayato followed behind, smiling at the wolf's gesture of accpetance and at Sapphire's promise.

Courier Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Nick finally got out his cell phone and phoned in the situation. No armed hostiles. One dead. Two wounded. Police already on the scene. The operator said someone else already had already phone it in but thanks for the update. At least the police wouldn't come in guns blazing and they'd send the right number of ambulances.Sapphire was... inspirational... and an eye full. Nick walked over to her and said quietly, "The police will be here in a few moments. I'm going to tell them three big, ugly guys who didn't feel pain and who acted like they were on PCP came in and started killing people. After having been shot repeatedly, they fled out into the parking lot where we assume a getaway car took them off somewhere to die."Nick gave a half grin, "Or we could go with something else."

Sean Cassidy Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Sapphire watched the blood drip from her hand. When Nick came up to her, she began staunching the self-inflicted wound with a napkin, turning an expressionless gaze on him, her dark blue eyes gleaming with supressed grief."That sounds fine, Mr. Mubarak. Somehow, I don't think they're gonna want to but on the repuht that fuckin' trolls attacked a strip club." Sapphire's husky voice was thick and low, trying to hold back the sobs. "If the police need me, tell them I'm upstairs in my small apartment, getting cleaned and dressed."Sapphire turned on her heel, hips swaying as she began to walk to the backroom, heading for the stairs to her apartment. Nick could see a shudder run through her, and a soft sniff escaped her, trying to hold back the tears. Both Helena and Christine looked up from their ministration on their injured sisters, concern on their face for their young Tyrant, but they stayed where they were.

Adrian Moss Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Reider stood around helplessly for a second. Somehow he realized Phae wanted to be alone with her grief and he had little in the way to offer as comfort. Instead he stood there looking around. Absent-mindedly, he swing his bedroll onto his back. He walked around to the amazons and looked down at their wounds. They looked so ... so ... broken.Stacy didn't look peaceful in death. Her death had been ugly and brutal, her life cut short. She had never been nice to him, but that didn't seem to matte now. A tear rolled down his cheek. Reider wasn't sure why.A creeping numbness took hold. It was post-battle jitters, but he didn't realize that. The last time he felt that way was with the bear. He didn't know what to make of it. In stead of taking solace with people, Reider wandered off alone and went to the steps up to Sapphire's room and sat down. He was drained, empty, and sad for so many reasons. He had lost people he knew. He had failed to protect them. He had failed to get vengeance. None of this made sense in his limited experience. He was supposed to be the Hero.

Courier Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Nick looked around and decided to leave the Amazons in peace for now. *They just watched their friend die and two others get hurt badly. Tigress with a sore tooth. And you're missing something. Those creatures were real, not mounds of dirt. Maybe you could do some detective type stuff and search their bodies?*Nick went to search the Trolls.(OOC: Didn't they have cell phones?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Cassidy Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Sapphire kicked off her heels once she entered her tiny apartment above the strip club, one striking a wall, the other bouncing on the tiles of the kitchenette. Morosely, she made her way to the bathroom, slipping out of her thong, Reider's vest sliding from her shoulders.She glided into the bathroom, entered the shower stall, and turned on the water. At first, the searing cold water pierced her like knives, but as it heated, the hot water started washing away the blood and easing the taut grief that tensed her muscles. Ah Stace, why didn't you let anyone know you could sing? The water migled with the tears running down her face.Exiting the shower, Sapphire wrapped her deep blue hair in a towel, then another around her very full chest, only making a token effort to dry herself. She headed to her bedroom, separated from the one room apartment by hanging curtains. She pulled one back to enter and stopped, seeing Illie, tall and powerful and nude, laying in her bed, her icy blue eyes sorrowful.Sapphire went to her, the towel dropping from her body unheeded as she layed down next Illie on her bed. She pressed her body to the much larger woman, stretching to give Illie a lingering kiss on the mouth, her fingers twining in her strawberry-blonde hair. Illie's hands went around Sapphire's slender yet voluptuous figure, one on her perfect ass, the other on a perfect breast.Their lovemaking was silent and gentle, two women seeking comfort from a friend and lover lost.

Richard Reynes Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Ayato sought out Reider. He handed him a card with his information on it. "If you or Sapphire need anything, don't hesitate my friend tonight was only the beginning I think. I have debts I must repay."He smiled and patted the blade at his back and turned to leave nodding to nick and the others. not wanting to do anymore to draw the attention of the officers of the law.

Adrian Moss Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 "Didn't kill one," Reider laments.When Ayato hands him a business card, he reads it somewhat painfully."Ay-ah-to?" he strugges with the name."Yes," Ayato nods. "I can help you rebuild this club for example.""Oh," he grins somewhat foolishly, "I'm Reider Magnus," as if the name has some special meaning."Ayato Nishima", the other Scion replies, not knowing who the Magnus family was, or at least not associating the Real Estate family with this simpleton. Reider nods then asks,"Can I have another card for Sapphire? I'm sure she would want one too. Here, you can have one of mine."He pulls a half dozen cards out of his pocket and hands one to Ayato. They are business cards for the Venus club with the name Reider Magnus on the back. As Ayato turns to leave,"Thanks for killing those two."Vjorn, the giant White Wolf, just stares at Ayato, but he has the strangest sense that it is more out of judgement than beastial curiousity.
