Hydra of Ages Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Magni seemed to consider, tapping his staff against his broad-rimmed hat, which concealed his eyes and most of his calculating face. "I see..." he muttered, flicking cards in a deck of playing cards he held by his side. "Will I believe you? Why, I believe the answer's as obvious as my hat..." He swept his tophat from his head and tossed it to the sky, where it imploded in on itself into a dove that soared into the sunlight. "Why, of course!" He said, laughing, as he spun his staff in his hand. "It is in a magician's blood to wish for grander, bigger, more exciting. And what could be more exciting than the fate of the world, more than one world indeed, based upon none other than a card game? My ethereal friend, as I'm sure you will find, we stage-folk are quite used to working with cards under pressure." he said with a wide smirk.

Kenny Bohner Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 OoC: Alright, 50 replies! And, Bringerofcake, was that meant as a compliment, or was that particularly biting sarcasm? (Jushiro) "Alright, I'm glad to hear it... and, ah! Lord Hycophrados... great to see you, man. Alright, guys, this is the first duelist I recruited, from Greece, about a year ago. He'd be about equal to a corporal in the army you know," I added. I patted him on the back... he was one of my favorite men. He was lanky, with a tattered, casual blue suit, with red hair and a short ducktail. He'd always excelled because he could laugh at himself... not the typical man you'd expect to be fighting the battle of Armageddon. "Alright," I began, to the group, "While the undecided continue to mull it over, we've got our first squad set up. Lord Hycophrados, first in command. Magni, Kenny, and Ami next in command. Bob, Joey, Ros, you men, too... we need you to pilot the vehicle. Should you choose to accept, Madison, Allen, and Tiberius form your own team, lead by myself. We'll call Hycophrados' team "Team 1" (really original, I know) and my team "Team A", so no-one feels inferior. Ready? Follow my lead..." [spoiler=Team 1 Breifing]Hello! Your mission is to first hop into Kenny's van, which I've modified a bit. Joey, you'll be the driver. Roscuro, you'll be the navigational co-pilot, using the computer terminal which I've installed in the dash to use the van's new "features." Bob, you'll be on the roof, using the mounted machine gun that I welded on there earlier, just in case. THIS IS A LAST RESORT. Kenny, Ami, and Magni will be using the three Duel Stations in the back, using the attached stone in the Duels... you'll see why. [spoiler=Team A Breifing] Make your choice.

Bringerofcake Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 That was actually a Calvin and Hobbes reference. So, you could take that as complimentary. "Right, sir. Now, who've I got? My team, to the van!" With that, he launched himself from a nearby and landed on the roof of the van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra of Ages Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Magni shook his head at the man who had launched himself at the van so quickly. "Simple flash and arrogance of youth," he sighed, before disappearing in a flurry of firecracker explosions and seemingly levitating above the van in question for a couple seconds, before gracefully descending next to the door.

LuffyLaxer Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 "Alright I'm in, as long as there free food involved. Well that and we kick this enemy's butt from here back to Hell. What do you guys say! Let's Go!" Tiberius says full of spirit putting his hand in the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Bohner Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 OoC: Oh, I see... good, then. (Kenny) Everyone just sort of ignored Tiberius... so, I walked to the van, excited to actually be a part of something, other than Goldman's Deli... but, that's another story for another day. Stepping inside, I saw that Jushiro really pimped it out; on the dashboard, where the passenger airbag would've gone in a newer car, was a computer monitor, with a keyboard jutting out of it. By the looks of things, it was retractable. Behind the back seat, instead the waterbed I knew and had come to love, I found three more Duel Stations than I was used to. They were red, and sported huge computer screens, little scanners, the Duel field, and this little slot on the side of the center one, where the Greek dude from before was sitting. Magni took the seat next to him, and I sat on Magni's other side. Ami came and sat on the right side of our commander. Behind the Duel Stations was a ladder, leading up to the roof, which I saw my buddy, Bob, shoot up like a living bullet (no pun intended), as he screamed wildly. I don't even know what he was screaming about... I guess that's just what forty years of alchohol, acid, coke, pot, and glue can do to your brain. Roscuro and Joey manned their posts. Joey started the ignition, and Jushiro's face popped up on the screen in front of Ros. (Jushiro) I saw that my transmission was going through. On the other side of my camera, I saw one of my new recruits, Roscuro Pierre Norman, Jr. He was quite tall, standing almost five inches above me, and I'm six feet (or two meters) high! His hair was black, shoulder-length, and shiny. He had a soul patch on his face, along with a chin-strap beard, a pair of black poker shades, and a purple suit, unbuttoned at the top, complemented by a gold medallion. "Hello," I said. "Now, this system's pretty easy to use; just type in the command you want to issue." "Okay... where are you, by the way?" He asked, a slightly dubious expression on his face. "In the walls. Now, deploy the side vehicles." "Okay... wait." He stopped typing. "What's wrong?" "It's not... it's not going through." "Oh, I see what you're doing... hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete." "No, it's not responding..." After about an hour or so of trouble-shooting, and a call to customer service in Heaven, we were finally good to go. The vehicle dispenced its payload; Team A, and white war Mo-ped bikes, fully equipped with rocket launchers and radar screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bringerofcake Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 http://web.mit.edu/manoli/mood/www/mood01.jpgI also noted the Futurama reference. IC: Barchistos took his seat in the commander's chair of the van. The Commander's technological prowess was something to marvel at. "Right. Now, I know that our fair commander named you all earlier, but I am terrible with names. And so, introductions are in order. If we're to have a successful team, then we need to learn to work together. Thus, we need to get to know each other. To start, I am Barchistos Hycophrados, similar in rank to a colonel. You may call me whatever you wish, so long as it doesn't interfere with operations. I am an retired acrobat from Greece, and have taken up Duel Monsters in the meantime. Now, for the rest of you." Where are we to be going, anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydra of Ages Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Magni snorted slightly when he heard the word 'acrobat', but hid it as a sneeze, silently appraising Barchistos. He nodded, and gave a flourish and bow with his cape. "Magni is what you may call me. I am a Magician by trade, similar in rank to a miracle worker." he said with a tip of his hat and a wink. "An Acrobat... a worthy pursuit of the performance arts." he said, with a legitimate attempt to mask the sarcastic edge to his words. "Indeed, I myself do my fair share of aerial tricks and stunts."

Kenny Bohner Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 OoC: I didn't make a Futurama reference... my God, I'm a pop-culture scholar and I didn't even know! Oh, and we're going to Hell. Sorry if I forgot to elaborate, earlier. Oh, and I won't be back 'til Monday, because I'm going to Washington to see my Broncos beat the 'Skins. (Jushiro) "Well, to answer your question, Tiberius, we're going to Hell. In order to get there, we've got to under the park service building to the underground river, Styx (not affliated with the band), and cross from this realm to Hell. From there, we've got to fight our way through to Tartarus, where the Demented Rebellion's command center is posted. And, Barchistos, you are similar in rank to a corporal; I'd noticed that you'd mis-spoken. Now, on topic. I, for those who don't know me, am Captain Jushiro Ukitake, leader of the Thriteenth Division in the shinigami corps. But, enough about us; it's time to focus. I'm now uploading your mission objectives onto your computer. You won't see me until you arrive in Hell; I've got to report to the base. Ukitake out." I cut the feed, and sped at speeds of almost 15 miles per hour towards the building.[spoiler=Team 1 Breifing]Hello! So, if you're reading this, I'm out of range of communication, and you've got to work on your own. So, I want you to plug the stone into the Duel Station, so that you can engage in Shadow Duels. For those of you who don't know, that means you actually summon the monsters and whatnot from the Third Earth. It's intense. ...Anywho. Good luck, and proceed to the river. [spoiler=Team A Breifing]Your job is to stick with Team 1, providing support with your Mo-peds, using their double function as D-Wheels. Stick close, and when you get to the river, make sure you meet up with Team Bravo... you'll know them to see them. They're the elite of the Thirteenth Divison, consisting of Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Jesus Christ, and MacGuyver. Good luck. (Kenny) "Hell... I've been told that I should've made the trip before, usually by my now exes, but... just never got around to it, I s'pose. I'm Kenny, by the way." I plopped into my Duel Station, between Ami and Magni. I said, to Ami, "Man... feels like I haven't seen ya in a week!" Unfortunately, before she could answer, we'd reached the building, and had... apparently... phased into an underground tunnel. Makes sense, right? Well, it happened. Ask anyone. There were a whole bunch of badass-looking thugs on jet-black D-Wheels. I, as well as all of the other Duelists, put Speed World 2 in play. (Alias, Ko Kyo, and Death Journal)As Black, Alias, Ko and I were preparing for phase 1 of our strike, there was a security breech. A bunch of newbies were fighting our main guards... this wouldn't last long. We decided to watch, via the in-lab monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
