Initiation part II //CLOSED RP FOR RUBIX-CUBE-TREY AND CLEAVE-AND-SHOOT//

[rubix-cube-trey-deactivated2014]

Trey ran up beside Violeta and turned his weapon into it’s revolver form. He fired a few shots at the Taijitu’s face. The rounds connected at it’s forehead but did barely anything. He turned to the two guys. “Quick, you gotta move now!”

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

Langston got up on his feet as the snake focused on Trey. He shook his head with a bit of a sneer. "Heck no! We're not running! We're taking this thing down!" He charged towards the snake, he jumped up and planted both of his cleavers into it's back, plunging them in and staying there. The snake reared back, up trying to shake Langston off. It hissed at him in anger.

"Yeah, I guess they are." Blake commented, watching him punch off the head of the dummy, raising her eyebrows in a bit of fascination. "A shame I can’t do it that often, who thought classes would have this much homework?" She sighed. "And because of that my skills have somewhat lacked…. Again sorry for almost killing you."

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

Langston smiled at Blake. "It's cool. Don't worry about it. Hmm...." He thought for a moment. He looked at her weapon for a moment then back to her. "Perhaps it is because you are used to larger targets. Ursa, nevermore, and deathstalker. Your aim has probably broadened to accommodate such a large target." He shrugged. "All you need to do is work on a bit of precision work, and focus on what specific parts you want your attacks to hit and you'll be fine in no time."

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

[blakes-liberation-deactivated20]

"We had a few encounters with Ursa, a Nevermore, and a Deathstalker." Blake said, "Though we had two teams together at the time. So I guess it wasn’t as big of a challenge as it could’ve been." She explains. "Though it never hurts to train."

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

"Jeez. Bad luck then, huh? Well your teams must be admirable to accomplish such feats as that." He turned to one of the practice dummies and got into a hand to hand stance. He closed his eyes for a moment, a red aura surrounding him before he punched the dummy, knocking the head off. He opened his eyes and the aura disappeared. "As for training, yes, it’s always good." He smiled.

Question

((Does anyone else ever want to have a rp where their character (or the other persons) just snaps and kind of goes super mean/evil? Because I think I’d be pretty fun.))

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

((Yes))

Initiation for Team V.L.V.T. (Sorphonia Siblings and Langston RP)

[ask-the-sorphonia-siblings-blog]

Nodding, Viorel sprinted to the temple. Taking leaps and very wide steps, he reached the temple, seeing different colored chess pieces propped up on broken walls -remnants of that temple.

Picking up a piece, he noticed that there are identical pieces of all of the pieces there. Paying it no heed, he ran back to the boy, who’s struggling against the Grimm. Grabbing the boy by the shoulders, he ran.

"C’mon, I got us a piece!"

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

Langston wasn't about to ask any questions. He turned and followed Viorel, but then he soon realized that they would have to turn back and head to the cliffs, right back in the direction of the grimm on their tails. 

Langston turned towards his partner to tell him this. "Hey we're gonna have to turn ba-"

He was cut off, he had been focused on running and relaying information that the snake grimm had caught him off guard, it reared around him slung it's tail at Langston, knocking him to the side. "Ah!" He landed on his back but quickly got up.

He smiled.

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

[blakes-liberation-deactivated20]

"Thanks," She nodded. "Maybe it’s because I’ve had some practice in this area of work." She muttered, putting her weapon in its holster on her back. "And you seem to be a good hunter."

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

He nodded. "Thank you. As have I." He looked at one of the targets he had been using. "I pride myself with always becoming a stronger hunter. My team and I had a nasty encounter with a King Taijitu during initiation. So right now, I'm working on furthering my skills in case of a similar incident in the future." He thought for a moment. "But, what of you?"

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

[blakes-liberation-deactivated20]

She looked down to the spinning clever and back up to meet his gaze. “Nice to meet you, Langston. I’m Blake.” She introduced, sheathing her sword.

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

He hummed in thought for a moment before sheathing his own weapons. “Oh yeah. Trey’s mentioned you. Nice to meet you. I’m his teammate.”

[blakes-liberation-deactivated20]

"He has?" Blake said, "He’s mentioned you too. I just wasn’t sure if you were the Langston he was talking about, or if there was a different one walking around here." She tried explaining.

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

He smirked. "Nope. The one and only." He straightened up the headband he was wearing. "So you seem to be a very decent huntress, unlike some of the students here."

[blakes-liberation-deactivated20]

Blake watched as another student around her age attacked at his targets. She waited until he was almost done to start her training. Taking out her sword and unsheathing it she tied the ribbon around the hilt so it would be connected to her. After turning it into its pistol…

[blakes-liberation-deactivated20]

"Oh, great." Blake sighed, relieved to hear she hadn’t injured him.

"Oh, yeah, I guess it is pretty unique." She said looking down to the sword attached to her arm by the ribbon. "You have an interesting style too," She told him. 

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

"Thanks." He looked down at his cleavers and unknowingly began to twirl one of them, slowly around one of his fingers, although keeping it away from her. "Oh, I'm Langston by the way."

A Training Session. (Langston and Blake RP)

[blakes-liberation-deactivated20]

Blake watched as another student around her age attacked at his targets. She waited until he was almost done to start her training. Taking out her sword and unsheathing it she tied the ribbon around the hilt so it would be connected to her. After turning it into its pistol form she threw it out and started to attack the targets. While she was shooting she almost hit the guy she’d seen training earlier. She quickly retracted her weapon and ran over to the guy. “I’m so sorry for almost hitting you then.” She apologized once she stopped in front of him.

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

Langston had sat back and couldn't help but watch her go at the targets, but was surprised by the near hit. He brushed it off nad smiled a bit as she walked over. "It's fine. No sweat." He looked at her and then back to the targets. "You have a.... unique fighting style, I must say." He looked back at her.

A Training Session. (Langston and Blake RP)

Langston was spending some time in the training hall. He was using mutiple practice dummies and was going all out on them. He had his dual cleavers out, swinging them from target to target, and then, whenever he got the chance, firing at them with the sawed off double barrels that were on the handles of his weapons. After a long list of attacks he soon stopped and caught his breath.

Initiation for Team V.L.V.T. (Sorphonia Siblings and Langston RP)

[ask-the-sorphonia-siblings-blog]

He didn’t need to be told twice. With just the two of them, fighting this Grimm would be near impossible. It’s not like Viorel’s gonna get cocky because he was able to kill two Grimms consecutively.

While running, he could see they’re nearing the temple. No one is there currently, but still, it would be dangerous if they got that Grimm near that place.

"We’ll have to lure it away from the temple! Or at least confuse it!" Viorel suggested. Who knows, maybe that’ll work… 

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

Langston looked behind him for a second and thought. After a brief pause he nodded. "Right."

He quickly drew his dual cleavers and flipped them to their sawed off double barrel sides. "I'll distract it, while you grab a relic. Go!"

He quickly sprinted to one side, turning around for a brief moment and opening fire on the grimm.

He fired both shells in both guns and quickly turned and sprinted while he reloaded. "Hey, come get me big, dumb, and slow!"

The large snake grimm turned its head upon getting shot and began pursuing Langston.

Initiation for Team V.L.V.T. (Sorphonia Siblings and Langston RP)

[ask-the-sorphonia-siblings-blog]

Viorel nodded, sheathing his bow. He took a look around. No, they’re not close to the temple. Just then, he heard another commotion going in the distance.

And a shrill scream from someone. And then he saw, from the distance, what looks to be a person falling from the sky. Then, he saw what looks to be a very huge bird looking above them.

Must be Grimm…

He then noticed something else-slithering noises coming from behind the brush. He turned and saw what looks to be a giant cobra-like Grimm.

"Tch… run or fight, your call…" Honestly, Viorel hated fighting these types of Grimms….

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

Langston was about to unsheathe his weapons but then hesitated. He sneered at the creature. "Run!" He grabbed his new partner by the shoulder and took off running in the direction of their mission.

"Crap!" Under normal circumstances, with maybe a few more people he would have said to stay and fight. But this thing was HUGE. He kept running towards the objective.

"Come on!" He was hoping that they could outrun the grimm that was tailing them.

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

Initiation for Team V.L.V.T. (Sorphonia Siblings and Langston RP)

[ask-the-sorphonia-siblings-blog]

While walking, he could hear some commotion going on in the distance. A hand on his weapon, he took careful steps, walking towards where all the ruckus is coming from. As he got closer, he noticed there are two presences there: Grimm and human.

Sighing, he climbed up a tree, before leaping onto another branch from a different tree to get a better view. 

"Beowolfs and a Boarbatusk…," he mused before he got an arrow ready. He could also see a human -another student, actually- fighting the two Grimms. Looking up, he saw in the far distance, the ruins of a temple, most likely the one the professor mentioned. Sighing yet again, he got two arrows ready. They’re headed the same way, so why not…?

Jumping off the tree branch and leaping high into the air, he fired the two arrows in separate directions, one hitting the Beowolf, the other missed the Boarbatusk. Shards of ice jutted out of the Beowolf Grimm, instantly killing it. Viorel grunted though, at the other arrow missing the other Grimm.

Landing on the ground right next to the other student, he fired another arrow, hitting the Boarbatusk dead on in the head. He could almost hear whatever the Grimm had for a brain bursting into tiny pieces inside it’s skull as the Dust loaded inside the arrow did it’s work.

Sheathing the bow, Viorel turned to the boy next to him. 

There, now they’ve made eye contact. They’re partners now.

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

Langston kept very still as he watched the grimm around him. Then suddenly the arrows flew by him, causing him to flinch a bit. He looked towards the boarbatusk right before it was shot as well and sighed.

He slowly put his cleavers into their sheathes, which were along his lower back, and turned to the man. "You know I could've taken them very easily." He looked back at the beowolf for a moment before returning his gaze. "But.... not bad. Little close to my face.... but not bad."

He looked the man up and down some more before speaking again. "I guess we're partners huh?"

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

Initiation for Team V.L.V.T. (Sorphonia Siblings and Langston RP)

[ask-the-sorphonia-siblings-blog]

Getting launched off a launch-pad. Great.

Eh, it’s not like Viorel didn’t see this coming. This school’s weird enough as it is, this did not even remotely surprise him.

Still, that didn’t mean he came in prepared. 

Sure, he expected this, but there’s almost no way to prepare for a landing after your launched off of a cliff.

Spinning around in the air to avoid incoming birds as he flew-and fell at the same time-, all he could see is just a blur of emerald green. But he also knew that he’s quickly falling into that blur of green.

Getting his weapon ready, he turned it into it’s sword form, clutching it as tightly as he could to make sure it doesn’t spring free, and waited. When he’s low enough, he stabbed the sword into one of the tree barks, his body jerking forward from the momentum. Releasing his sword from the tree, he leapt onto one of the branches, standing there for a bit to take a look around.

Well… let’s get this started, then.

[cleave-and-shoot-blog]

It didn't take long for Langston to find trouble. Somehow it always had a way for finding him.

After a long while of walking and trudging in the forest he could have sworn he heard something. At this, he stopped suddenly, drawing his dual cleavers. He got into a stance, ready for anything to come at him.

From behind him a beowolf appeared, Langston turned and stared at the grimm, before hearing some more rustling behind him. He turned and looked as a boarbatusk came towards him as well.

He looked between both of them waiting to see which would strike first. He whispered to himself. "Alright..... let's party."
