Hidden Heroes

Some do the job for revenge, some because it's the family business, others just want to let the world know that they won't stand by and let evil feed on the innocent.

I was playing Skyrim and I married an Imperial Soldier. Happy for our wedding and new life together, I worked hard and bought Honeyside then went to the temple and told him we should move there.

Every goddamn Stormcloak guard of Riften started shooting my husband and nearly killed him 3 times. I rushed to the rescue (as did Maven Black- Briar, amazingly), and we shot at the Stormcloaks until they were dead. My husband ran into the house for safety, and I tried appealing my bounty to the one living guard when Maven fired lightning at him and killed the man on the spot.

I ran outside the city, a guard attacked, but I put my weapon away and he attempted an arrest. They tried killing my husband and I wasn’t going to let them take me so easily. With a 1040 bounty, I still had the one option: I am thane and you can’t arrest me.

I didn’t have to pay the bounty, my husband is now safely inside the house and will never be able to leave again lest he face death and myself another bounty for defending him, and I am done.

You know, I’m tempted. If this post reaches 500 notes I’ll have my player join the Imperial Army and see where this goes afterward.

Open starter: A Wander in Isolation

@we-are-nemeses

The Overlord of Atra walks through the streets surrounding the Nemeses stronghold, with His massive hellhound in tow. His usual companions are no where in sight, leaving any onlookers to guess where this steel-clad giant of a man is going.

Lord Atra finds himself alone in a courtyard with a small fountain. And here he stays until Malleus begins to growl at the new-comer…

[we-are-hidden-heroes]

“You know.” Said the new comer as he stepped around the corner,“ I fucking hate Hellhounds.”

He was about 5'10, a good bit of weight on his frame, and reeked off booze though he words were not slurred.“ Howdy, names Garth.

[i-am-overlord]

The man in black steel stares down the intruder. His eyes a blazing red, and once He has assessed Garth He turns back to the fountain. The hound barks once, the hellish glow flaring, but it doesn’t move from His Masters side.

After a few awkward seconds He stands, a good foot taller than Garth, and turns to him expectantly.

[we-are-hidden-heroes]

“Boss doesn’t talk much does he?” He addressed to the Hellhound.

[i-am-overlord]

“He needs not waste words on those below Him.” It growls. Its stance crouched and watchful of Garth.

“Why do you disturb my Master?”

[we-are-hidden-heroes]

"Hey I was already here, if anything he was disturbing me." He pointed at the Hellhound," What're you two even doing around here? Going to the park to play fetch with someone's pelvis?"

Closed RP with Lex the Planeswalker

[lex--ghostspeaker-aflame]

“A thousand years from the plane we were just on?” Lex exclaimed, “First, I jump to a completely different plane and then I go into that plane’s future! I am never getting back to Innistrad at this rate.”

And then the television turned on and Lex’s jaw dropped, “What is that?? It is some sort of contraption…How are there people inside of it?” He looked to Jim expentantly, clearly completely confused by the technological advancements of this world.

[we-are-hidden-heroes]

“….yeah I’m really not up for explaining tv again.” Jim said scratching the back of his head.“ “All you need to know is that it’s a recording but with audio and visuals.”

[lex--ghostspeaker-aflame]

Lex shrugged it off, content to simply begin wandering the living room, inspecting all of the strange objects. He came to the window, looking down at the people on the streets and watching in wonder. 

“So,” Lex announced after a minute of silence and turned to Jim, “Why are we here? Well, I guess I mean, why are you here, as I wasn’t exactly brought intentionally.” 

[we-are-hidden-heroes]

"A job, hunting." Jim replied as the coffee pot started up." Does Innistrad have coffee? I'm making a fresh pot."

Headcanon: Damakos looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooves tea based deserts

>\\\> don’t call me and my tiefling son out like this

[we-are-hidden-heroes]

So, your not interested in this then?

[we-are-hidden-heroes]

A few visits to the modern era, Damakos started becoming more comfortable with it, though he still spoke in his Infernal tongue.One visit, the tiefling came running into the apartment with a drink in his hand. "(Jim! I found the most amazing drink! Come on, I need to show you this!)"

Jim was scared to turn around. Don’t be espresso, don’t be espresso. He turned to Mako, and raised an eyebrow,“ that’s, that tea thing, right?”

[we-aredancer]

Nodding he tried to get Jim out the door. “(Come on! It’s better than any hot leaf juice I’ve tried to make! Let’s go already!)”

[we-are-hidden-heroes]

“Whoa whoa, hold your horses.” He said,“ she’s still naping, we’ll head out soon as she wakes up.”

[we-aredancer]

“(Okay..)” Damakos sat down, slighty disappointed, and started to finish his tea, leaving only a pile of boba balls at the bottom of the cup.

[we-are-hidden-heroes]

Jim finished washing some dishes while various fire bending grunts could be heard from the living room. Soon enough they heard a cry from the bedroom. Jim walked in to get Aria and a few minutes later they were ready to go. "So, you wanted to show me something?"

When Nundasa had to leave on business she left her bae with a simple request. Show Damakos around his crazy world so they could all hang out in that world whenever they wanted. So Jim sent the Dancer a message to meet him at Nun and his apartment for lunch. Now he waited, and watched King of Queen reruns.

Damakos had arrived late and knocked at Jim’s door. The directions didn’t seem strange but the letter had peaked the dancer’s interest. A new land, time travel, it seemed so fascinating! “Jim! Sorry I was late! You still awake?”

@the-cornerstreet-warpriest

[we-are-hidden-heroes]

Jim slowly blinked his eyes open and pulled himself up from the couch. He turned the tv off before opening the door,“ Hey, Damakos, glad you could make it.” He yawned

[we-aredancer]

Smiling, he gave the warpriest a quick hug. “Hey, good to see you as well. So, if you don’t mind, could you explain your letter to me? I must say, you have my curiosity very peaked.”

[we-are-hidden-heroes]

“Pretty simple really, show you around my world and take you out for lunch or dinner or…what time is it.” He looks at his watch. “Anyway, getting all the shock of my world out of the way so Nun can take you shopping without having to worry about it.”

[we-aredancer]

“Huh.. alright then. Any who, how are you and Nun doing? And little Aria as well.” Damakos walked inside and looked inside, instantly fascinated by a few new things. His immediate interest went to the tv, amazed. “Wow.. so how exactly does this all work, Jim?”

[we-are-hidden-heroes]

Jim sighed," Everyone goes straight to the tv. Alright so, in my world we take common coal, and burn it to boil water to make steam, the steam is under a lot of pressure and turns a turbine. Generating energy we have learned how to store in batteries. You know when your wearing wool shoes on carpet and you slide your feet across the floor then you touch someone and they get a little shock? Same principle only strong enough to kill an archdevil." 'How'd I do?' He asked the angel 'Shrug' it replied 'Did you just say the word Shrug in my head??' Jim asked it. "Oh, and Nun and I are doing well. And Aria is sleeping through the nights a bit more so that's good." Jim answered the other part of his question.

Closed RP with Lex the Planeswalker

[lex--ghostspeaker-aflame]

“Calm down?!” Lex repeated frantically, still pointing his finger to Jim and wagging it at him. “Tell me where we are! Did I…Did we jump to another plane?” This wasn’t Lex’s first planeswalk, but with still not knowing the extent of his newfound abilities, he had no grasp of what it meant to jump to a new plane of existence or how it was that it was possible.

[we-are-hidden-heroes]

People were beginning to stare, Jim scowled in frustration. He glanced back at Lex and his eyes glowed. ‘Sleep, Child of Innistrad’ Spoke an alien presence in Lex’s mind and his vision faded. When the Planewalker came too he was laying down on a very comfy sofa. With a few boxes of chinese on the coffee table next to him. “Hungry?” Jim said from the kitchen area of the apartment, smelling a pot of coffee…dumping a pot of coffee down the drain.

[lex--ghostspeaker-aflame]

Looking to the coffee table, Lex inspected the boxes. What was this strange food? He’d never seen anything like it. Hesitantly, he smells the small, glazed pieces of meat colored an orange that meat should not be colored. Scanning the table, he couldn’t find any cutlery, just the boxes of peculiar food and thin wooden sticks. Taking the box in one hand, he grabbed one of the pieces of meat out with the other and popped it in his mouth. 

“Holy shit!” he exclaimed, “This is good!” Lex looked over to Jim with a wide grin, then remembered himself. “But also, where in the helvault are we?”

[we-are-hidden-heroes]

“Yeah it’s orange chicken, and stop eating it with your fingers that’s my dinner.” Jim said pulling a plate and some forks from the cupboards.

[lex--ghostspeaker-aflame]

“Oh, uh, yeah,” Lex stammered and returned the box to the floor. “So, where exactly are we? This world looks so strange. When I jumped from Innistrad, at least everything looked similar. But this place is so…big.”

[we-are-hidden-heroes]

"We are in New York, 1000 years in an alternate timeline." Jim said turning on the tv and handing Lex a plate. In the background the tv played," rry Allen, and I am the fastest man alive." "This is my homeworld," Jim explained helping himself to some of the beef and broccoli.
