Summary: Leah converses with Evie about the apocalypse while Tomi and Sei end their fight and Sean tends to a dying Kishen. Much discourse conversation is had about the current place/time they’re in, SeanxJustice confirmed canon. Kishen dies from his wounds and then is revived right in front of everyone. Sean leaves as Evie starts off the Mass Chumhandle Exchange 2k15, Evie presumably leaves to explroe bc dafla fell asleep, the remaining four decide to go find some flowers and then check out the imp encampment again.
Characters: Murien, Jaraga, Arinai, Sean, Seimos, Leah, Tomi, Kishen
Summary: Murien is Peacefully Tending to the poor plants that keep being eaten in the ruins - but is soon gets scared shitless by Jaraga, who is followed by Arinai. Our local Batman (Sean) keeps watch of the situation, and Seimos soon joins the party (to eat flowers.) Everyone starts talking, later Leah and Tomi show up at the scene (also to eat flowers.) Kishen laters turns up too.
Shit happens, Seimos eats a twig, King of the Hill is mentioned, they discuss The Case of the Missing Weed, things [MINOR]s should not be hearing about are brought up. Eventually, people gradually leave, leaving Leah, Tomi, Seimos and Kishen again. More shit happens because Something led to Kishen axing Tomi's arm (with consent. Consent is important.)
[WARNING: LOG IS AS LONG AS HELL]

-- CURRENT vehementMartinet [CVM] smiles at Ari. (: --
-- CURRENT illuminantOverseer [CIO] returns the smile, undaunted --
CIO: No no, you miss my point.

CVM: _____[] ThaT's kinda some shiT logic There, donT'cha Think.
CVM: _____[] ThaT ogre's a monsTer. A being. If ya aTe some if iT, why wouldn'T iT counT. IT's like eaTin' a creaTure back on AlTernia.
CVM: _____[] BuT flowers? They're kinda jusT. Fucking flowers. We don'T know how much They counT as susTenance.
CIO: Ah, forgive me, I omitted a detail. Jaraga merely ripped the creature's throat out.
CIO: And then it vanished.

CVM: _____[] WhTa are you hinTin' aT?
-- CURRENT vehementMartinet [CVM] fuck typo --
CIO: Eat it.
CVM: _____[] Why The fuck should I lisTen To you.
-- CURRENT efflorescingVillein [CEV] looks mournfully at the poor bush. --
CIO: Because I am, by default, biologically stronger than you, more apt for combat, and you do not posess psychic powers?
-- CURRENT illuminantOverseer [CIO] seems amused --
CVM: _____[] ...
CEV: Stop injuring plants, stupid highbloods...
CIO: It is but a simple test. One bite.

-- CURRENT magnumDowser [CMD] is oblivious to the Bat Man. --
CVM: _____[] We don'T need To fucking know anyThing.
CIO: Oh? But you seemed so keen earlier...
-- CURRENT efflorescingVillein [CEV] before these Nasty highbloods can go one some other plant-eating spree, she sits down to... talk to the flowers again? all she seems to be doing is moving her hands over them, but okay. --

CIO: The twig too!
-- CURRENT magnumDowser [CMD] wonders what these dickmunches are doing and why they're so hesitant to eat plants in a survivalist situation. --
CIO: The leaf doesn't count.
CAO: What are you looking at? Oh that voice!
CIO: You have eaten plantlife before.
CIO: Or at least of that manner.
CEV: >:^(
-- CURRENT augeredObseiance [CAO] peeks in and waves at sei --
CIO: We need to see if ALL things are edible.
CAO: Hello sir! Oh you've met your brethren!
CEV: Why don't you go eat a rock next.

CVM: _____[] 'Sup, Tomi.
CEV: If you human... aliens are here to eat plants, then you had better go away.
CAO: !! Oh! A seadweller! I've.. never seen one before! Ah, pardon my rudeness, it's just the few ones on earth did not go out in public often!
-- CURRENT illuminantOverseer [CIO] glances back to Seimos. --
CAO: It was below their standing, as understood.
-- CURRENT augeredObseiance [CAO] bows. --
CIO: Ah, my dear, but that would defeat the purpose of this assessment, would it not? It was, after all, your theory.
CEV: How predictable of them.
-- CURRENT illuminantOverseer [CIO] ze chuckles a bit. --
CVM: _____[] HOW DOES THAT FUCKING MAKE SENSE!!
CVM: _____[] IT was MY Theory buT don'T OTHER PEOPLE TEST THEORIES TOO!!
CAO: No plant eating? Didn't he just eat a leaf?
CVM: _____[] STOP TRYING!! TO MAKE ME EAT!! A FUCKING TWIG!!
CEV: No more plant eating allowed in here.
CIO: Shush, Seimos. A human is speaking.
CEV: Except that twig.
CMD: Leah what the fuck it's just a troll. ...with fins.
CEV: Because he deserves it.
CMD: Okay yeah that is pretty interesting.
CAO: Oh Tomi... they're a /seadweller/.
-- CURRENT augeredObseiance [CAO] says it like its OBVIOUS --
CAO: Well, perhaps that twig might replenish him?
CMD: Oooooh boy a seadweller.
CVM: _____[] ..........
CEV: Or, he could... choke on it.
CAO: We partook in some flowers yesterday and they did the job!
CIO: Ah, my dear. Upon my planet, these fins are a sign of royalty.
CEV: No one is choking!
CIO: That is likely why you did not see them often.
-- CURRENT esotericVigilante [CEV] suddenly pipes up from behind the bush. --
CVM: _____[] ShuT The FUCK UP, SHITBLOOD!!
CEV: You ate the flowers too?
CEV: You shut the fuck up.
-- CURRENT esotericVigilante [CEV] walks around the bush. --
CAO: Yes! Tomi informed us that they— well, I suppose Kishen informed Tomi that the flowers had helpful properties.
CEV: Please takes small bites of the twig. Thank you.
CAO: Healing, and to nourish.
CMD: The flowers were alright.
CIO: There we go! You have an audience.
CIO: You do not wish to disappoint, yes?
CEV: As far as I can tell, there is no Empress here, and therefore the hemospectrum holds no quarter, and therefore I can tell you to choke on the twig all I want.
CEV: Also, stop eating the flowers! They don't like it!
CMD: I prefer kale shakes.
CVM: _____[] ... No Empress here?
CEV: Do you really think she's presiding over a crater?
CIO: There is likely an emissiary, somewhere.
CEV: As if she cares enough about anything outside of her own ass to do something like that.
CIO: There is typically with these sorts of areas.
CAO: Well.. forgive me for butting in! But...
-- CURRENT callipygianOgre [CCO] still Zoning out b/c of her realization, but... --
CIO: Or at least there is with other 'taken' planets.
CAO: They're still noticably taller than you correct? And as highbloods... stronger!
CCO: Uh? Wh-...Ah? Yeah, I ripped its... Throat out, with my teeth... Y...
CMD: This is still probably on earth mate.
CAO: It might be safer if you... ah wait! Death doesn't particularly matter here!
CMD: We wouldn't be able to survive her otherwise.
CAO: You may act as you wish!
CEV: And who cares if they are larger?
-- CURRENT efflorescingVillein [CEV] ready for some REVOLUTION. --
CAO: Well, I was going to say..
CAO: That they could easily mutilate you! But in this environment that the Gods have bestowed upon us...
CAO: Death isn't a pressing concern!
CMD: HAHAHAHAHA just fucking go for it, they're not that tough.
-- CURRENT magnumDowser [CMD] turns his head to Yaoi Man to laugh some more. --
CEV: Death does matter! No killing! What's /wrong/ with you?
CVM: _____[] HEY -- FUCK YOU TOO, TOMI!!
-- CURRENT esotericVigilante [CEV] frowns at Leah. --
CVM: _____[] Ghhhhhhh...
CEV: I think death probably matters.
-- CURRENT vehementMartinet [CVM] can't process this many conversations at once. --
CAO: If we're brought back to life.. then the gravity of death is lessened right?
CMD: What was your name again mate???
CMD: The blue guy i mean.
-- CURRENT efflorescingVillein [CEV] does not care about these sweaty aliens, and so returns to soothing the flowers in silence. --
CVM: _____[] ...
CVM: _____[] ......
CAO: Why do people fear death? It is because of eternal silence.
CVM: _____[] Seimos.
CAO: However, in this environment, that nothingness after death has been alieved.
CMD: Alright!!! seimos it is.
CAO: It comes to pass that with the threat of nonexistance removed, there is nothing to fear.
CIO: I believe it was proposed once that we were already dead? Curious and likely incorrect, but something to ponder.
CIO: But I suppose it matters not.
CMD: Amazing.
-- CURRENT magnumDowser [CMD] wonders if this is going to go in a Fake Deep direction, and if he should walk off right now. --
CEV: That is /the/ most annoying possible plot twist and I refuse to accept that it would plague me in the real world as it does online.
CAO: Batman, will you remove yourself from the bushes?
CEV: Ah. Sweaty hands.
CIO: Yes, Batman, come join us.
CEV: You're lurking again...
CVM: _____[] ...

CIO: An improvement!
-- CURRENT esotericVigilante [CEV] scowls at her. --
-- CURRENT augeredObseiance [CAO] : )) --
CAO: May I ask what you four were doing here?
-- CURRENT augeredObseiance [CAO] @ trolls --
CIO: Ah! I personally had come to examine the mystery of these ruins -
CEV: I was tending these plants when they all came in and tried to eat them.
-- CURRENT illuminantOverseer [CIO] ze motions back --
CIO: Only to find that the door has been blown to pieces.
CIO: When I arrived upon the first day, it was intact.
CAO: :O
CIO: Thus someone has broken it.
CEV: It was the sweaty guy.
CEV: Who broke it, I mean...
CIO: Is that so...?
CMD: Yeah same here!!! tried to bust it down but even i couldn't do that.
CEV: I saw his glove... in the rubble.
CMD: How the fuck did this happen???
-- CURRENT illuminantOverseer [CIO] turns Gaze towards sean --
CEV: When it almost crushed me.
CEV: Thanks for that...
CMD: He what.
CAO: Destruction of property doesnt seem very 'heroic' if I must say!
-- CURRENT augeredObseiance [CAO] thanks for nothing leah --
CEV: The wall fell and... crushed him, and almost me... so I guess he died. Since his hand sort of. Disappeared.
CEV: Batman destroys things all the time. So does Superman. And Wonder Woman. And Spiderman. And--
-- CURRENT esotericVigilante [CEV] takes a deep breath. --
CMD: Possibly just...
CEV: Pretty much... all superheroes.
-- CURRENT esotericVigilante [CEV] he mumbles. --
CEV: Does Batman also... almost kill poor, innocent trolls... a lot?
CAO: Does he pay for the damage?
CIO: Darling bat, would you care to explain what plane of existance presented this as a good idea?
-- CURRENT illuminantOverseer [CIO] ze taps hir foot --
CEV: Maybe that large, beefy highblood could move some of the rubble out of the way...
CEV: I was trying to get inside the building. The building, however....
CMD: Batman doesn't kill people moron. he probably almost kills them a lot.
-- CURRENT esotericVigilante [CEV] gazes darkly into the abyss. --
-- CURRENT magnumDowser [CMD] doesn't know what he's talking about --
CEV: Had other plans.
CAO: You fought the building??
CEV: That seems... kind of dumb, honestly..
CMD: Holy shit.
CMD: I like this guy's style.
CIO: And how did you attempt to get inside, exactly?
CEV: I grappled to the top of the building. As you can see, the building is quite tall, and that was quite impressive, masculine, and genius of me.
CEV: And then you broke the roof and died.
CEV: I then attempted to explode a Bat-shaped hole into the roof. Bat-shaped meaning--
CEV: I was talking.
CEV: I know.
CEV: Did you not see me moving my lips?
-- CURRENT augeredObseiance [CAO] surpresses a snort-giggle at "impressive, masculine" --
CEV: You are rude.
CEV: No, I'm not looking.
CEV: And spiteful.
CIO: ...
CEV: Go back to your flowers.
CIO: Why did you not simply blow up the door?
CEV: At least my flowers are useful, unlike your Bat-shaped stuff.
CAO: Was the bomb specifically calibrated to explode in a bat-shaped fashion?
CEV: Because from the vantage point of the roof, I could surprise any enemies inside. Also, entrances are full of traps.
-- CURRENT magnumDowser [CMD] wonders what other sort of banterous activities batman gets up to. or should he say... baterous --
CIO: The roof is also where all the structural strength typically is. I know little of buildings, but you could have endangered something that could help us if you had simply destroyed the place.
CIO: Shame on you.
CAO: Have you had previous experience blowing up buildings? Is this a regular activity for you?
CEV: Such as my life.
-- CURRENT illuminantOverseer [CIO] makes a small 'tsk' noise --
CEV: I have in fact, exploded buildings before.
CMD: Holy shit. this guy!!!
-- CURRENT magnumDowser [CMD] rolls his head back a bit and laughs some more. --
-- CURRENT magnumDowser [CMD] likes batman already. he is a true lad --
CAO: In an attempt to explore or as a hobby?
CEV: I will not be exploding anymore, however. Probably. Most likely. I might change my mind. It all depends.
CEV: In my efforts fighting crime.
CAO: Oh! Say, Batman.
-- CURRENT magnumDowser [CMD] wonders how far batman is going to take this joke. --
CIO: Isn't property damage a crime?
CAO: How many weapons did you wake up with?
CAO: I have multiple specibi, as do Tomi and Sir Seimos, but we all only woke up with one.
CEV: Sir...?
CEV: My bo staff, my escrima sticks, my batarangs... and three explosives. As well as my smoke pellets.
CEV: Though my finest weapon is my body.
CVM: _____[] You goT ThaT righT. Sir!
CEV: Finely tuned to perfection.
CAO: >:o
-- CURRENT vehementMartinet [CVM] appears Smug. --
CIO: Oh my.
CEV: Really impressive.
CAO: Somehow, that isn't fair! If your finest weapon is your body you should distribute your weapons!
CMD: Can appreciate that sentiment.
-- CURRENT esotericVigilante [CEV] laughs. --
CEV: I think not. Any one of you could be the person who brought us here.
CMD: Don't hate because you don't lift, leah.
CEV: You especially..
CEV: As you seem to love death.
CMD: We worked HARD for these bods.
CAO: That's a rather forward assumption to make Batman!
CAO: I'm not saying that I relish the idea of death, I am saying that is no longer a primary concern!
-- CURRENT magnumDowser [CMD] begins to wonder how serious batman actually is about being batman. --
CAO: ..Although I am curious to how it would be. Sir Seimos and Kishen mentioned seeing a vision and hearing a voice...
CAO: Perhaps one of the Gods??
CVM: _____[] Leah's righT. Since when did she say she loves deaTh.
CIO: A vision?
CVM: _____[] She's simply bein' raTional here.
CIO: Most curious.
CVM: _____[] AcTually, iT sounded jusT like some shiTTee Troll Shakespeare.
CEV: Oh, I heard a voice...
CEV: Of course you would agree with her. You are a literal murderer, who murders people!
CVM: _____[] Ah, yes. A liTeral murderer who murders people. People die when They are killed. We all goT ThaT, BaTman, iT's NO BIG DEAL.
CVM: _____[] BuT you! RusTblood.
CVM: _____[] Didja hear Troll Shakespeare or no.
CEV: Troll... Shakespeare?
CEV: What do you mean?
CVM: _____[] The voice.
CVM: _____[] Sounds like Troll Shakespeare.
CIO: More importantly, my dears... did your... ah. 'Visions' say anything important?
CAO: Is your God troll shakespeare?
CMD: Blessed be to our hidden 13th god, Troll Shakespeare.
CVM: _____[] WiTh all ThaT shiTTee. Like. Olden language.
CMD: I welcome him into our pantheon.
CVM: _____[] Like "WHO COMETH" and shiT like ThaT.
CEV: It's called Shakespearean.
CVM: _____[] No one fucking cares.
CVM: _____[] BuT no, seadweller, I don'T really Think They said anyThing fucking imporTanT.
CIO: Mmn... figures.
CEV: I do. You're supposed to be a smart highblood, you know.
-- CURRENT augeredObseiance [CAO] clucks her tongue at Tomi's BLASPHEMY --
CVM: _____[] Wasn'T really a VISION. I jusT heard a VOICE.
CVM: _____[] Also whaT The fuck are you Talking abouT, Leah?? I don'T have any fucking gods.
CEV: I saw... an emoji.
CIO: An.... emoji.
CEV: Anyway, it did not say anything like 'thou' or 'cometh'.
CEV: An emoji.
CVM: _____[] ...
CMD: An emoji.
CIO: ...
CEV: ...What is an emoji.
CIO: I believe we may be being pranked.
CMD: Mate you can just call it a smilie.
CVM: _____[] BaTman, are you fucking kidding?
CIO: On some deep, highly unusual level.
CAO: Pranked by gods?
CIO: No, just the regular kind.
-- CURRENT magnumDowser [CMD] can't believe batman, on top of thinking he's batman, is also a weeb. --
CIO: Although I am unsure how.
CVM: _____[] Dude, seadweller.
CVM: _____[] Even I can fucking admiT ThaT.
CAO: What but a god can bring back from death?
CVM: _____[] This is fucking weird.
CVM: _____[] Someone came back To fucking life.
CVM: _____[] I myself came back To fucking life.
CVM: _____[] This ain'T jusT a "prank".
CEV: It looked like... little hands. Little star dust. I am not knowledgeable about emojis. I do not use emojis.
CVM: _____[] ...
CIO: You will have to forgive me if I have not witnessed a perishing recently, then.
CEV: I did not know you could make smilies like that...
CVM: _____[] ThaT doesn'T really fucking help.
CIO: No one has died within my presence since my arrival.
CAO: I've seen someone die!
CVM: _____[] Well, you could've seen someone die if you jusT fucking sTayed around for a biT yesTerday...
CEV: Like... like this.
CAO: Sir Seimos, Tomi, and batman watched someone die the other day! Miss Booker too, but she's not here right now.
-- CURRENT esotericVigilante [CEV] He takes a stick from the bush and draws the symbol in the ground. --
CEV: ╰( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )つ──☆*:・゚
CVM: _____[] ...
CIO: Some of us have things to do beyond observing your black solicitations, my dear.
CEV: .......
CIO: ....
CIO: Are you sure this is not a prank?
CAO: ...Maybe it is a metaphor?
CEV: I don't get it...
CVM: _____[] They were god damn BLACK SOLICITATIONS, buT --
CVM: _____[] like...
CVM: _____[] WhaT?????
CAO: Hm... if you squint and turn your head...
CVM: _____[] You SAW ThaT?? AfTer you died?
CAO: Maybe it is an interpretation of the Witch?
CEV: Ew... were you really trying to seduce someone in this dire situation...
CVM: _____[] I WAS NOT!!!
CVM: _____[] FUCK YOU.
CEV: Are you sure, because you just said they were.
CMD: I don't know i barely even noticed when kush died.
CVM: _____[] LisTen, why don'T we ask ThaT shiTblood when he geTs his ass here.
CVM: _____[] WhaT he heard or saw or whaTever.
CIO: I suppose some have wilder appetites than others, my dear.
CEV: I saw it. I did. It's the only thing I remember.
CAO: No voices?
CEV: Nope. Just the emoji.
CEV: Would you like to know what happens when you die? Is that what you are asking?
-- CURRENT magnumDowser [CMD] doesn't know what a black solicitation is. the poor naive bastard --
-- CURRENT augeredObseiance [CAO] you see tomi when a mommy troll and a daddy troll hate each other very much --

-- CURRENT augeredObseiance [CAO] looks up at Very Tall Troll --
CEV: Anyway, helpfully enough, I have both witnessed a death and died myself.
CEV: So which would you like to hear about?
CCO: Looking in the wrong places for answers I couldn't find... And it was right in front of me the whole time. Heh! Sometimes it pays not to think, I suppose!
CAO: Your death, if you don't mind!
CVM: _____[] The laTTer.

CCO: Wait, are we still talking about death?

CEV: Anyway. When I died, I was in pain for a moment.
CAO: Tomi!! That's rude!
CCO: What the fuck? What the fuck? Who the fuck are you? What the fuck?

CCO: I'm just kidding. It's pretty nice. Air's great. How's the view of my chest?
-- CURRENT magnumDowser [CMD] looks at leah like "what???" --
CEV: And then, I heard a voice... that said 'just, heroic...' and then could not pick one, I suppose. And then said 'everything will be alright, little one', and then I was alive on that tower... outpost.
CAO: She's an even higherblood than Sir Seimos!
CEV: Meanwhile, when Batman died, I saw his sweaty hand for a moment, and then it simply disappeared.
CCO: What? He's a sir now?
CEV: That is all.
CAO: Just...heroic... hm...
CEV: Also, he is not a Sir.
-- CURRENT vehementMartinet [CVM] frowns a little at. jaraga's Inappropriate Comment. looks off into the distance --
-- CURRENT esotericVigilante [CEV] Sean blushes because the view of her chest is quite nice from an aesthetic perspective, but he uh, didn't look, uh, leave him alone. Sh. --
CMD: Couldn't really give a rat's dick about the chest, but i'm sure it's objectively a great chest.
-- CURRENT esotericVigilante [CEV] It is. --
CAO: It is an a plus chest I assure you!
CCO: Yeah, it is. But, uh... Sure?
CVM: _____[] I am a sir. Fuck you.

CEV: I do wish I had had a Shakespearean voice....
-- CURRENT augeredObseiance [CAO] agrees tbh --

CRK: Like, surprise attack!
CRK: Whoosh.
CRK: Sand.
CAO: Into the enemies' eyes!
CIO: A... sand attack.
CCO: Yeah... Yeah! But I'd have to put something else in to get the sand.
CRK: More sand?
CIO: Can you put in an enemy?
CCO: I mean, I suppose it would be a hell of a mindgame if I - yeah! More sand!
CEV: Haha. You sound like a very likable character on King of The Hill....
CRK: Just keep some sand in your pocket, like... always.
CCO: Imagine that! Putting sand into the thing... Just to get more sand! To attack with!
CCO: And no, I can't put in anything alive. I don't think. ... I don't actually know?
CAO: An eternal sand trebuchet!
CMD: Which character batman???

CRK: A bicycle.
CRK: I've heard of those.
CCO: Yeah, there you go.
CEV: Dale Gribble.
CAO: Bless you!
CRK: Oh, or Dale Gribble.
CEV: King of The Hill is a very popular cartoon.
CRK: Whoever that is.
CRK: Does Dale Gribble cycle...?
CEV: Which focuses on humorous situational comedy.
CMD: Okay i don't remember which one dale gribble was.
CIO: I hope this Dale Gribble is a capable cyclist.
CMD: Yes, "humour". i guess.
CAO: Maybe he grabs sand, while cycling.
CIO: Would that not cause a weight unbalance?
CRK: Exactly.
CAO: If he was a skilled cyclist he could regain balance!
CCO: Does he REcycle? Is he environmentally conscious?
CRK: That just proves how capable he is...
-- CURRENT esotericVigilante [CEV] starts mumbling King of The Hill factoids under his breath. --
CAO: Or, if there was a pile of dirt about the height of his arm it would be fine.
CRK: Or like...
CRK: Like a huge pile of like...
CRK: Solid sand.
CRK: The strongest weapon.
CRK: Swing it through the air.
CAO: Glass sand! Or sand that is also rocks.
CRK: Sand that is also rocks... and has trail mix in it.
-- CURRENT esotericVigilante [CEV] is interrupted from his infodump. --
CEV: Why would it have trail mix in it?
CAO: Perhaps to trick the enemy into thinking it's edible?
CRK: Added... nutrition...
CAO: And then... rocks!
CAO: Which are not edible, for most species.
CMD: Now THERE'S a man's snack.
CMD: I'd eat it.
CCO: ...You'd eat rocks?
CEV: ...
CAO: Maybe you can wash it down with muscle milk.
CCO: That's kinda messed up, dude.
CIO: That sounds.... hard.
-- CURRENT efflorescingVillein [CEV] zones back in from her plant communication. --
-- CURRENT esotericVigilante [CEV] squints. --
CEV: Eating... rocks?
CMD: It's what sets me apart from the other humans.
CRK: Man, if you like... ate a rock, right.
CRK: If you did that.
CRK: Would it ever come out, or what...
CEV: Would your teeth not break?
CAO: Is that not what cows do?
CRK: What if it was just... stuck in there...
CAO: I thought cows... consumed rocks.
CIO: Ah! That is another point to research. We should likely have something to compare Seimos to, yes?
CAO: To aid digestion.
CEV: That is both a valid and disgusting point.
CMD: It helps me digest other things.
-- CURRENT illuminantOverseer [CIO] picks up a Very Small Pebble --
-- CURRENT illuminantOverseer [CIO] holds it out to Tomi --
CIO: Perhaps try this?
CEV: Are we... making Seimos eat rocks?
CIO: See if it assuages your hunger.
CEV: Oh.
CEV: Never mind...
CIO: You can if you like, Muri non-darling.
CMD: You know the deer guy over there loves plants so much???
CMD: I love rocks.
CMD: Humans also have dietary variances.
CRK: Yeah, plants!
CRK: Plants are good.
CEV: You know, Ari, non-darling is somehow worse than darling...
CAO: And I'm fairly sure it would come out fine Kishen! Probably.
CMD: Big humans like me eat rocks to stay huge.
CEV: I have never met a human who ate rocks.
CEV: W-Wait, you like plants?
CEV: Kish... Kush... Kushin?
CIO: May I use darling again, then?
CEV: Yes, do whatever.
CCO: ...
CRK: Plants are good!
CIO: Thank you!
CEV: Do you grow plants?
CRK: Weed is a plant.
CEV: ...Yes, it is.
CRK: Yeah! Yeah.
CRK: Lots of 'em.
CRK: Or, I did.
CAO: Technically, if you grow weeds purposefully, are they still weeds?
CCO: Damn, you have to eat rocks, I just have to eat, like, a lot of curry. Heh! Sucks to suck. Uh, no offense, for your dietary needs.
CIO: Then please eat this rock, Tomi.
CRK: But now we're in a desert.
-- CURRENT esotericVigilante [CEV] IS BETRAYED BY THIS CRIMINAL. THIS CRIMINAL MAN. --
CEV: Not that kind of weed, Leah.

CCO: Troll Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson?
CIO: If you like.
CEV: Ah! Edible plants...
-- CURRENT illuminantOverseer [CIO] tosses one in hir hands up and down. --
CEV: Marijuana. The kind that... 'stoners' use. To get.... 'high.'
CMD: I'd eat him.
CRK: Lots of weird ones.
CCO: Heh, you and me both, man.
CCO: Uh.
CCO: Wait.

CCO: Not like... Uh.
CEV: Yes.
CAO: So their voices.. change pitch?
CRK: Hey, grass is cool!
CRK: It's like... it's everywhere.
CEV: No.
CCO: You know, I'm just gonna drop the thought.
CIO: Why would you eat bioluminescent fruits?
-- CURRENT illuminantOverseer [CIO] seems... unsettled --
CRK: Vegetables are good... but vines are also nice.
CAO: Well they certainly don't /float/
CRK: Aesthetic.
CEV: Oh, no, the fruits aren't bioluminescent.
CEV: Those are different...
CRK: Like... they do the whole climbing thing.
CEV: I have vines, too.
CRK: And you can make 'em grow up things.
CIO: Ah, I see!
CMD: I have a vine!!!
CEV: I have... many plants...!

“Whoever the hell you are – alien, Tony, whatever – you don’t have shit to do with this. Frankly, I really don’t fucking care about you either right now! Leave us be, would'ya?!”
Holy crotch sucking son of a crocodile was this skinny kid angry. Tomi hated working with incompetents as well, but wasn’t threatening to kill someone over it a little over the top? Besides, it’s not like he didn’t contribute anything - gods know that bite wound would never have gotten patched up if Kush didn’t use his powers in a creative fashion.
Cleat grinding was Tomi’s excus- uh, cue to finally get aggressive. Oh man would he enjoy the hell out of this.
Alas, the most useful weapon Tomi had on him was the chain link wrapped around his wrist. He had performed many completely bullshit, video-game-esque feats with a simple chain link before, but those were all on practice dummies. He didn’t trust himself to try that in a potentially life or death situation.
So naturally, it was time to take a tried and true method - something from his old rugby union days, the good old low tackle. Tomi crouched and charged at the bird guy in a manner almost reminiscent of a bull in an old cartoon charging at a matador’s red cape.
This move was his specialty back in the day, earning him a rather uncreative nickname - the RED BULL. If only his teammates spent less time downing shitty energy drinks and more time playing a certain action RPG that had yet to be released.
Having built up momentum by the time he rammed into the blue guy’s side, Tomi quickly wrapped his hands around the opponent’s thighs and attempted to knock him over.
[warning for description of injury, pain, blood, bones breaking etc.]
[tl;dr, kishen gets fucking owned and will probably die soon]
He didn’t like what was going down. Not at all. Kishen Naftal may be many things, but a masochist was not one of them. Being hoisted up in the air by a highblood a foot taller and much, must stronger than him was absolutely not the position he wanted to be in, not now, not ever. But in the end of the day, he knew that, for his own sake, his own safety, this was the best way to go in the long run. Maybe. Stand up for himself? Absolutely not. Show any sign of resistance, and he knew that being forced to stay around Seimos would be a living hell.
Well.
Maybe it was a bit too late for that.
“Uh, I–”
…was all he was able to get out, before finding himself hurled at the ground with all the strength typical of a Ceruleanblood. That being a lot. All his ten sweeps of life, he had managed to keep to himself. Ten sweeps of keeping a low profile. Avoiding confrontation. Staying alive.
And it all came crashing down so hard.
“Ah–”
Quite literally, too.
The first point of impact was his back, from where pain surged outwards and spread throughout the rear of his torso in an instant. It hurt, but it was bearable. Nothing was broken. It would definitely bruise, though.
Next came his head, which snapped back and collided with the ground below him violently upon landing. Now that hurt. The worst headache of his life, two-thousandfold. His vision blurred, and he was almost definitely bleeding, with pain searing through his skull and permeating every part of his very being. He couldn’t see. He couldn’t hear. He couldn’t speak. He could only lie there in pain, and pray it would stop soon.
This was fine. This was totally fine, though. This was just him getting what was coming for him, right? His mistake the day prior had caused Seimos himself to die - the pain he was going through now couldn’t possibly be any worse than quite literally dying, would it? His anger was justified. Totally justifi–
“Nghhah–!!”
Down came the boot, metal cleats and all, crushing his ribcage and tearing into his chest - if he wasn’t bleeding before, he definitely was now. One bone. Two. Three. Five. Ten. He had no idea how many ribs had been broken, but he knew it fucking hurt, and the hoarse, ragged cry that was forced from his throat was sure to let anyone within earshot know just as much. Metal spikes pierced his chest at what felt like a thousand locations, dragging through it and tearing his skin apart, dyeing his shirt and poncho red in an instant. The cuts weren’t too deep, but that didn’t stop them from absolutely drenching his torso in blood.
Still digging his foot into the maroonblood's torso, Seimos was having a good ol' laugh at the maroonblood's suffering --
"HAHAHAHA! How does it fe-- wuhhh-HEY!!"
-- but was quickly caught off guard by the alien's interference. Unfortunately - with his light weight (thanks, hollow bones!!) - he immediately loses his balance and is whammed a distance over Kishen, crashing onto the ground... with a certain human still having a hold of him.
Seimos struggles to get Tomi off him, simply flailing and kicking about at first.
"Let GO off me, you fucking shitbag!!"
He yells, squawking in between his exclamations of protest. Soon after, still in his fit of rage - he takes to trying to smash the god-damn nuisance still clingling onto him with his fists, striking Tomi's back and shoulders -- even occasionally trying to get a whack at his head. But it appears that his anger has blinded him to an extent - his 'attacks' are rather imprecise.
Okay, kid. Tomi didn’t clear his sleep fog early enough to catch the first part of this conversation. Clearly he was missing SOMETHING. Likely a lot of things.
From what little he knew, Kushen didn’t seem like he would straight up attack a person out of nowhere. Given the weird masochistic crap he was spewing, this was the most likely scenario here.
Even Tomi, pub brawler king of Brighton, knew not to pick a fight in a potential survivalist situation. As much as he hated to say it, perhaps SOME form of negotiation should be the first line of defense here. Which is just a shame, because punching some scrawny “highblood” sounded like a real good substitute for a morning workout.
Blue guy. Listen, I don’t know what weird shit goes on in the troll embassy, or on the troll planet, or wherever the fuck you’re from. Frankly, I really don’t care right at this second. There’s a time, and there’s a place for this kind of thing. Just set the hippie down, and we can all focus on finding a way out of this shitty desert.
- violence cw -
The bastard fucking laughed.
He fucking.
LAUGHED!!!
UGGGGGGGGGGH!!!!
The others' remarks had fallen upon deaf ears - the only thing that seemed to be occupying Seimos' mind was pure, unadulterated (Highblood™) rage, further intensified by Kishen's comments. Such pure, unadulterated rage that seemed to make Seimos fail to even realise how fucking weird it was that he was alive again.
Seimos grips the cloth of Kishen's poncho tighter, yelling at the poor lowblood again.
"No hard feelings?! HAHAHA! RIGHT! You fucking asshat, I'll plummel you to the ground until you fucking r---"
He's about to throw the shitblood onto the ground, but --
He finds himself interupted. Great. Great!!! Seimos freezes in his movements instead, still holding up Kishen in the air.
"..."
The interruptive asshole turns out to be one of those aliens that Kishen knows (and Seimos DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT), and Seimos listens a little as they exchange some talk. A little. For the most part, really, he ignores their words -- as he already did with everyone else's words earlier. But he does still listen to a bit -- or rather, he listens to his own personally cherry-picked parts that just make him more upset.
...
WHY WAS EVERYONE OUT TO MAKE HIM UPSET, HUH???
Seimos, still having a hold of Kishen, turns his attention momentarily to the buff alien (WHO'S STILL SHORTER THAN HIM SO HAH.)
"Whoever the hell you are -- alien, Tony, whatever -- you don't have shit to do with this. Frankly, I really don't fucking care about you either right now! Leave us be, would'ya?!"
And that's all he bothers saying to him. Or rather, that's all the attention Seimos thinks the god-damn alien needs. He was already nice enough to give a total fucking irrelevant stranger a moment of his time! But now, the alien's moment ws over - and Seimos quickly turns himself back to (still-holstered-up-in-the-air) Kishen.
"Incompetence, being an idiot, yadda yadda yadda - you think that's gonna save your ass?! Hah!" He scoffed. "Wanna say any dramatic goodbyes before you go, huh?!"
And here it finally is! He's about to throw the shitblood onto the ground, but -- there is no but! By the neck of his poncho, Seimos immediately throws the shitblood onto the god-damn ground. And boy, is it fucking satisfying, hearing that loud crash on the ground!! Standing over this terrible piece of shit!! It was so god-damn good.
"Not like you thought I'd actually give you the chance, right? Hahah!"
Seimos stomps once on Kishen's abdomen, grinding the cleats of his boot into him. He lets out another loud laugh -- smiling widely -- but obviously still brimming with anger. Please get some chill.
act 1, day 1 | uken't handle the heat | seimos + kishen
SUMMARY: [STRIFE! trolls vs underlings] the detailed strife log that seimos and kishen were involved in! ie the strife where seimos got his ass kicked and died and kish somehow survived
Although things had begun to look grim for poor Kishen for a while, it
seems the highblood who had been watching this unfold has taken it as
his cue to step in. Assault from above comes in the form of a spiked
golf ball, which slams the lizardlike creature at the rear of the circle
with enough force to disorient it. With a pained snarl, it staggers back
and begins waving its head around wildly, trying to dislodge the burr
that has lodged itself into its head. The diversion is enough to break
the ogre and two of the imps off from the circle of punishment in favour
of pursuing the greater threat present.
... Leaving Kishen a clear opening. Low level enemies never are much for
complex strategy. One of the imps breaks off in order to attempt to
assist the thrashing basilisk, leaving the remaining two within the
circle mildly stunned as they attempt to conceive of what the hell just
happened. First the fire, and now this.
And today started as such a nice day.
(( OOC: oops that's actually supposed to be three imps after sei, three
surrounding kish, and one off to the side
rhy is Good at Math ))
K I S H E N:
Kishen himself appears just as distracted by the sudden appearance of
the golf ball as the underlings do, but manages to snap out of it once
he realises, well... his life is probably on the line, here. After a
moment or two of looking like a complete idiot, he turns his attention
to a couple of the imps nearby. Ugly looking things, they were, and it
was unlikely that any sort of peace would be made today. A shame.
First thing's first. Now that an opening had been made, Kishen was
very much intent on taking advantage of it, turning tail and running
in Seimos' general direction as soon as he was able. His
COLUMN OF FIRE from earlier wasn't exactly
intentional, but it /did/ give him an idea. Now, for this young
maroonblood, good ideas were few and far between, and in this case, it
was pretty unlikely that this idea would be good in any sense of the
word.
Turning his head to look back at the three imps he had left behind, he
Drew Upon The Mysterious (Scientific) Forces Within Him, and attempted
to draw forth the very same COLUMN OF FIRE
he had done previously.
Whoosh.
Not quite as impressive as the last, but it did the job. A plume of
flames burst forth right where the middle imp was standing, and the
two on either side of it appeared to be caught up in the carnage.
Three imps were now very much on fire, and probably quite badly hurt,
too. Poor things.
A wave of fatigue washed over Kishen soon after, but for now, running
was still very much on the agenda. Running, and keeping an eye out for
any incoming attacks - if it came down to it, he was sure he'd be able
to dodge them! Maybe? If nothing else, he was fast.
S E I M O S:
Seimos heaves an irritated sigh, feeling exasperated at the Terrible
Shit He's Gotten Himself Into. Despite his moment of Benevolence, the
last thing he wanted to do was die for a lowblood -- or rather, die at
all, especially on a day where he had no idea where the fuck he was or
what was happening. Perhaps that was why he decided to step in at all
- even if a lowblood's life typically meant nothing at all to him
(like, really nothing) the awful, shittee circumstances just had
to make it so that he Had to care for this shitblood. Being one of his
only kin around -- beside those aliens - Seimos felt he had a
(fucking terrible) obligation to look out for this guy. Just a little.
Keeping his nerves together - he squints at the new enemies coming
towards him, observing them closely. Whatever the fuck they were, they
were two small ass things, and one big ass thing. So, obviously, his
logical course of action: Deal with the big guy! If his battles on
Alternia had taught him anything, it was to get rid of the big guys
first -- why get rid of tiny underlings who could hardly hurt you??
Would a Ceruleanblood like him (despite already being hurt) get his
ass owned by tiny little lackeys?? Hell no!!!
Nevertheless, he probably didn't have the time to kill this giant
creature so quickly. He found himself... forced to try to disable him
at first, at least. That shitblood was still hanging behind.
Seimos takes out another three spiked golfballs, and pours all his
concentration into perfecting the aim of his shots - he couldn't
afford to fuck this up, could he? He hits the golf balls one at a time
with all his strength --
(FOOOOORE! he yelled, but internally of course, he'd be a moron if he
yelled that out loud outside some kinda monster camp --)
at the eyes of the ogre running towards him. He finds himself
remaining with one golf ball, and almost shoots it towards an imp, but
a last minute realization hits him -- it would probably be better to
disable that larger... lizard thing for longer, right? He then
attempts to shoot the last golfball towards the direction of the
basilisk.
While one would think that there would be common sense in not forming a
wall against an enemy shown to have pyrokinetic abilities, the pea-sized
brains of the imps couldn't quite conceptualize idea until one among
them had paid the price for their hubris. The
COLUMN OF FIRE makes a second appearance and
completely incinerates the second imp, although rather than melting or
turning to ash, the creature simply seems to vanish, leaving nothing but
a scattered collection of gem-like objects in its wake.
This doesn't exactly please the two beside it, whom, while charred by
the COLUMN OF FIRE, at their flanks have not
been felled by it. It would take a strong attack from a stronger being
to manage that. The moment Kishen, exhausted, turns to make a dash, they
are very literally hot in pursuit, their black bodies ablaze as they
rush at him with claws drawn and fangs gnashing.
WITNESS THEM.
Unfortunately, while the young maroon is indeed swift, fatigue from the
previous two strikes has begun to set in, and his quick feet have
trouble finding the strength to keep him moving. While he may be able to
escape the flaming imps, he will surely be menaced by the imp-mounted
Basilisk, which has since recovered and is presently charging him down.
The imp atop its back throws a bloodied, spiked golf ball at him,
perhaps aspiring to slow his steps as Seimos once did.
Unfortunately, that isn't to say Seimos himself was in for a good time.
While the shots lined to blind succeeded in doing so, his hubris to
ignore the smaller enemies has brought them upon him, all teeth and
claws as they leap upon him with the intent to tear him to pieces. The
ogre, agonized, roars and pounds at the sand with its fists, knocks
Seimos's shot off kilter before it fully comes to fruition, causing the
final ball to fly harmlessly into the bounds of the camp.
As the ogre thrashes, the combined efforts of the imps GRAVELY INJURE
the ceruleanblood. While endurance has sustained him this long, if he
doesn't think fast, he really will be defeated here.
K I S H E N:
Things like MAKING A STAND and FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE weren't things
that Kishen had ever imagined he would find himself doing, but alas,
life is full of surprises, isn't it? Two flaming imps, a basilisk, and
the imp riding said basilisk came for him with everything they had,
which was decidedly unchill of them, to be sure. Seimos appeared to
be in a not-so-great situation himself, which was...
Well, that was a shame. He was a highblood, right? He'd be alright.
In any case, saving his own hide would have to come first, and if he
was able to help the other...? That'd be nice, maybe. He had very little time to think up a Genuinely Good Plan, andthinking on his feet wasn't exactly his strong point, but with all of
his Cool Science, he was sure to think of something, right? With the
imps and basilisk closing in on him, he'd need to do it quick!
While producing energy by consuming his own was just a little bit too
much for him at the moment, that did not diminish his ability to
influence the conversion of energy within others, and Kishen fully
intended to make use of that. A quick glance over his shoulder
confirmed three things:
- Two flaming imps due east.
- One basilisk and an imp just north of them.
- One golf ball flying straight at him.
Pushing the imps right into the basilisk would have been nice, but
generating that much energy was... not the best idea right now, by a
long shot. For now, Kishen settles for essentially locking their
levels of mechanical and kinetic energy in place, before suddenly
swerving to the south in an attempt to both dodge the golf ball and
cause a collision between the basilisk and the imps.
And finally, helping Seimos. Influencing the trajectory of the flyinggolf ball? Maybe not the best idea.
Switching that kinetic energy into sound, causing the ball to stop
flying through the air and instead emit a god-awful screech, with
the intention of drawing the attention of his attackers away from him?
Possibly just a little bit better.
S E I M O S:
Oh, fuck. Fuck fuck fuck FUCK. Why was he being pinned to the
ground. By. THESE. TINY. THINGS!!! Seimos felt his anger reaching its
limits, as he felt (so ANGRILY!!!) helpless against these GOD DAMN
IMPS ON HIS BODY. He almost starts yelling at them in his frustration
(and in pain, honestly) but before he does --
He hears that screeeech.
JESUS. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?? Seimos lets out a few LOUD BIRD
SQUAWKS in reaction instead and flails around a little - shocked by
the sudden loud noise. He has NO IDEA WHERE IT FUCKING CAME FROM,
because he's kinda DYING ON THE GROUND THERE. So - logically - he
DOESN'T BOTHER TO MULL OVER IT. Seimos quickly stops squawking,
(kinda) gets his shit together, and summons out the PIECE OF RUBBLE
FROM THE SPIRE he found earlier from his Captchalogue Deck into his
hand.
Perhaps as a FINAL HOORAH, he tries to SUMMON ALL HIS STRENGTH by
YELLING LOUDLY while ATTEMPTING TO BLUDGEON THE HEAD OF THE IMP ON HIS TORSO. Dude also kicks his legs about and flails everywhere. While still yelling. And trying to whack the imp with the piece of rubble. He's, uh. Trying. A lot.
If the matter were a math problem, the alignment of the flaming imps and
the beast and rider would have never had the opportunity to connect, as
the trajectories upon which they moved had differed... but Kishen's
exertions had not been a complete loss. The basilisk and its rider are too quick for the imps, but the trick was evidently not an anticipated
one, and they screech in their inability to stop moving. They entirely
miss Kishen as he sidesteps, racing majestically across the vast expanse
of the desert, until they are little more than a speck in the distance.
Goodbye, space cowboy.
The imps, on the meantime, have been burning this entire time, and the
additional speed hasn't exactly helped this. Continuing at their pace, while they narrowly miss slamming the basilisk, both eventually succumb
to their burns and incinerate completely, leaving behind a trail of the same gemstones their bretheren left behind. They dine in the halls of
Valhella now, hopefully.
The noise from the golf ball momentarily does at least one thing that it
was anticipated to do. Between Seimos and the unknown noise, the imps
are given pause for a moment, giving the enraged highblood his opening.
The imp upon his bleeding chest lets out a shriek of surprise in timing with the cerulean as the chunk of rubble comes down upon it, smashing it down... and, in the process of the exertion, Seimos himself. Having already been injured and lost a great deal of blood in his struggling,
squawking fit, his FINAL ATTACK is ultimately a double edged sword. Unable to hold up the rubble any longer within his current position, the momentum of the strike drops both the remaining GRIST from the imp and the stone down upon him, SLAYING HIM.
The remaining imp, who had jumped upon seeing its brethren slaughtered,
scrambles off Seimos's remains and turns tail back towards camp.
The imps were, unfortunately, not the only ones distracted by the
shrieking golf ball, however. THE OGRE, now given direction in its BLIND
RAGE, begins to lumber towards Kishen with the intent to SMASH,
continuing BEATING THE GROUND RELENTLESSLY around the area where the golf ball sounded.
You might want to GET OUT while you have THE CHANCE.
K I S H E N:
Almost as though he were privy to the musings of a certain NARRATOR,
Kishen decides that GETTING OUT while he still has THE CHANCE would be
the ideal course of action. He's exhausted, but he has no intention of
going anywhere near THE OGRE... so he should be okay.
Giving the ogre a wide berth, Kishen takes the opportunity to quickly
scoop up the GRIST left behind by the three imps, keeping a close eye
on the ogre as he does so. Fire was... no longer possible, but if need
be, he was fairly sure he could at least cause the huge thing to trip
over as a last resort. It took far less energy to fuck around with the
movements of a single leg than it was to create combustion, after all.
As soon as he is finished, he turns tail and absolutely does not look
back, not even to check up on Seimos - one less highblood was one less
potential threat, right?
act 1, day 1 || now you seme, now you don’t [feat. kishen + seimos]
summary: seimos finds a sleeping kishen in the northeastern ruins, and promptly decides to kick him awake and drag him around the desert, exploring. some banter is exchanged. they happen upon the encampment, and kishen decides to try and make friends. strife follows soon after.
seimos gets his ass kicked, and is killed. kishen somehow manages to escape without a scratch, having killed 3 imps in the process. a basilisk disappears into the sunset, never to be seen again.
