[Everything is now nice and calm where most of them are. the vines and branches are no where to be seen. (so is Igor but that's beside the point) this is a chance for all to regroup and strategize what to do with the bramble/rapevine menace.]

<lj-cut text = "Part 6">Valne: Whoah.. that's pretty nift-- oof! *lands in a pile of colorful balls* Wait.. you mean we had those balloon things all along?!

Moo: YaaAaaaaagh-- pffflrrfjaksldfjkfjad. *has clearly landed in the mass of colorful balls*
Weea: Not now boy! There's an Arab on the lose! If I remember, his cactus produces quite the substance
Tatsuya: [Still tense, Tatsuya kept his weapons at the ready. Those things wrapped and slithered in ways he would never forget, all the more fueling his desire to cut them over an over again. Somewhere, at the back of his mind, he wished they bled so he'd know they at least experienced some kind of excruciating pain.]
Richter: Sir, please I just need you to stop using your freeze gun. If we're to get out of this forest in tact we need to help these branches. They could over power the vines giving us a safe passage out...... Sir are you listening?
Tatsuya: Why not make a run for it now? They're gone anyway!
Edward: Think about the gold, boy. Think about the gold.
Tatsuya: Then torch the forest. We can always plant a new one.
Richter: <hears tatsuyas comment. walks over and konks him on the head>
Edward: Think about the gold, wasted on an act that we should have volunteer for. The waste; they're goin at - giving the money to other people. WHy should we get paid for services?
Edward: You should help people outta sheer will power and save the money for a Monsoon Day; is what I always say.
Tatsuya: Oww. [He frowns at whoever konked him until he realized it was he who gave him his new weapons. Fine.]
Priscilla: [sees ritcher from the group of people] Sir Ritcher... what are you doing here i thought you were chasing someone...
Valne: *while the commotion is going on his thoughts quickly drift back to the colorful balls* I don't think I've had any of these yet. These would look great with the rest of my collection! *quickly scoops up one ball of every color into his arms* This place is full of wonderful things! I've never seen.. *head quickly snaps in Moo's direction* M-moo! Um.. err... are you alright?
Moo: *raises a tiny arm* Never. doing that. again.
Valne: R.. riiight.. ahahah.. sorry.
August: <Gathers his bearings and sees most everyone seems to be indiscriminately attacking both the bramble and the vines. He goes up to Edward> Listen, Edward. I'll hold half my classes without spending a cent if you help me rally everyone to kill just the vines and not the bramble. And I'll look after Arjun for you when he's not working. Deal?
Richter: This forest is alive, and needs help. As a yojimbo, I can't ignore it.
Edward: [Gives August a look of Genuine appreciation and then frowns] You spend money on your classes? [Furrowing his rather thick eyebrows]
Edward: I don't understand why on earth you would feel the need to contribute to a Students Education!?
Tatsuya: [Tatsuya looks around, slightly surprised at the amount of concern over a thing that, back at home would have been easily regrown. He couldn't help the frown forming on his face as he considered the entire deal to be immensely troublesome.]
Richter: Now going back. <looks at Wea> He seems to be too distracted to use the gun again, and everything is relatively quiet. This maybe my chance to make contact with that branch girl. Excuse me, child, can you do me a favor?
August: Hey! <Quickly thinks up an elaborate lie> I usually don't! The school just tells me to take from their budget! But seriously! If we kill the bramble, which I've never seen before anywhere, we could get fined by killing a rare and endangered creature or something! The school would have to pay more than it normally does!
Edward: You use the portion the schools allocated for your classes? What a waste of money. [He shakes] If they can't learn the traditional way, Antoine. They shouldn't learn at all. You must cut out the weak - I had this one pink haired student, I permanently banished from my class.
Tatsuya: [Confused] Excuse me sir, madame, I'm not sure if I heard correctly. Are both of you professors? [His posture relaxes slightly but his grip remains firm on his weapons.]
[The ground suddenly shakes. just within their hearing, they can hear the sound of trees falling inside the forest.]
Tatsuya: [Surprised] What--
Richter: See that man? <points to Wea> He has a freeze gun, could you make sure he doesn't use it. Ever. At least not here.
[There are regular tremors. shaking the ground, the trees and the people.]
Moo: *finally calms down* Counting to ten does help after facing a massive amount of adrenaline from-- *feels the rumbling* WHAT WAS THAT?!
Edward: Alright, round off - everyone group together, we're safer in numbers. Looks like something bigs happening
August: Okay, okay, I'll teach for free this semester! But seriously, hear me out. <His thoughts drift to that Didier Arouet... he might be hearing from Martinez about him soon, if not, he may be seeing someone new in the goldfish room...> Don't get rid of the bramble! It's people-friendly! It just wants to get away from the vines! Got th-- <Getting his footing from the sudden rumbling. He hears the young girl's rather innocent comment> Sorry, I'm a boy, and yes, I'm a professor. You are...?
Valne: *a colored ball frees itself from his grasp as he slightly loses balance from the tremor* Oh! *scurries after it*
Moo: H-honestly! I am never riding anything that has no relation to land travel ever again! *looks around and notices Valne chasing after something* V-valne! *flails his little arms wildly* N-now is not the time to go treasure hunting! We have a much larger problem at hand!
Tatsuya: Akodo, Tatsuya, ma'am--err, sir. I'm a new student. [He tried to look past the fashion, but his thoughts really could not stray too far from the similarly intimidating dress of the Matsu warriors. Scary, scary women those were.]
Richter:<feels the tremor> That's not good. Anyway, I'm counting on you. <pats Tatsuya on the head as he passes. Richter makes his grappling hook, jumps and swings into the forest>
Edward: Alright, where is this bramble that needs savin? We oughta finda cause for tha violent wild life, mind!
[When Richter jumps into the forest, the first thing noticable is that for a good while, there is no sign of either bramble branches or the rape vines. there is however, an ever present scent of burnt plant.]
Richter: <swing through the forest away from the group of people hoping that there will be no more people to scare away the branches> Now, where is she? <Lands on a high branch to get a good look> Ok now...<smells burning wood>.....oh no.
[There is no smoke but the scent is still in the air.]
Edward: Tasty, whose havin a bit of a barbie- oh. /oh/. Bugger. any of the bushes are burnin?
Tatsuya: [Looks around] What's going on?
Richter: No smoke, I can't tell if that's good or bad. I have to hurry. <Richter places the end of the grappling hook in the branch he's standing on and swings around it, and again, and again gradually spinning faster then lets go, sky rockting him high into the air> Where did the branches gather?
[As Richter goes deeper and deeper, he soon catches up with the bramble's retreat. the branches are retracting, abandoning their fight with the rapevines for something more pressing. if one looks closely at the trunks of the trees, scorchmarks can be seen.]
Moo: *takes a whiff of air and tenses up* Is.. is that smoke? Is there a fire somewhere?!
Valne: *finally retrieved the mischievous ball and jogs over to Moo* A fire? That doesn't sound good... we should probably get out of here.
August: <Gets a whiff of the burnt smell emnating about> Crapcrapcrap! Let's go, Edward! <Runs deeper into the forest, trying to pinpoint the scent> God I wish we had Arjun's nose right about now!
Tatsuya: [He follows after them, careful not to lag too far behind. He was certain he'd stand a better chance by sticking with them anyhow.]
Edward: You kiddin'- wish Sasha were here. [Imitates Sasha's German Accent terribly ] You put water un ze fire, yaaah.
Richter: There. <Richter falls down quickly> Wait. I should have though this through. <Richter realizing he's falling down to fast and has no place to latch a chain into> Tch, looks like I'm left with no choice! <Richter grabs onto a branch as he falls but he loses his grip and falls to the floor. He covers his head as he rolls over the roots and rock on the hard ground. He manages to get up though covered in light cuts and bruises> That was bad.<Richter dashes forward though the fall hurt him, he chases the retreating branches>
Moo: W-wait! I-isn't the fire coming from that direction? Wh-why are you all heading towards it?!
Edward: [Trying to think of a way to Banish the flames - heading towards the direction of the fire with August ]
Tatsuya: Money!
Moo: M-money?! I-isn't this taking gambling a bit too far?!
Edward: You've got a good edge on you kid! If you want, I'll teach ya how to use that switchblade, right good and proper.
Tatsuya: There's plenty of us anyway. And should things go wrong... [he stole a glance at Edward and smiled, perhaps a little too much. He turned back to Moo].. I can always use that fire to burn the beast to the ground. [he said quietly.]
August: <Whispering to Tatsuya> Physicals all the way don't always work in Ludus, I'm alumni, I should know. Granted Edward's a good teacher, his teaching methods are a little... outdated. <Falling behind Edward due to his own ~amazing~ physical prowess> Just a heads up!
Valne: I don't know what's going on, but it might be a bad idea to just leave without them... I think we should follow.
Moo: Wh-what?! G-go in there? B-b-but..!
Valne: Don't worry, you'll have me around. Whatever it is, they might need help. *unties a sash around his waist and picks Moo up*
Moo: ... Oh all right. B-but don't go running off without me again!
Valne: Great! Let's go! *follows behind the way Tatsuya went*
Moo: Hmm.. did you really hear what I just said? *sighs and lets this go for now*
Tatsuya: [Tatsuya flinched at the sudden proximity to the Matsu-man but had enough sense to stay in his place.] Thank you. [he bowed] I'll take that into consideration, ma-- man. Err. Sir.
[Richter reaches it first, a bramble branch hitting him dead center in the chest when he reaches his destination. Looming up before him, a huge gnarled and warped bramble bush. All thorns and branches, no leaves. Rapevines all over its branches and trunk, slowing it down as it tried to swat a new menace aside.]

[At its base, a small black figure was busy doing his job. cutting the thick branches of bramble with ease with his discs of light while avoiding the bramble's flails of retaliation.]
Weea: ARAB! -he speaks english now! making him read the Kama Sutra will be a whole lot easier now-
[his childish wiles are starting to return]
Richter: HUUAGH!<falls to the floor with a loud thud, coughing up blood as he tries to get up> I probably deserved that. Hello, branch child, if you're there. <Richter manages sit up and sees the man attacking it. Richter sighs> Great.
Weea: [looks at bushfight in awe] I knew it! THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT PORNO!!! [he says this out loud without humility]
Igor: *gives up on simple disks. he closes his palms, forming fists. beams of light extend from the sides of his hands.*

*suddenly, lightsabers.*

*resumes hacking. not noticing a student has entered the arena.*
Richter: <slowly stands up, the pain in his chest burning. He limps over to the small man> I might have broken some ribs. HEY<pant> EXCU-<coughs> EXCUSE ME!
[A branch crashes downwards, making another tremor.]
Weea: -This is sooooo much better than that Alec/Nick fanfic that one student made. That was horrible.-
Edward: Hrrm. I'm not to up ta snuff; theres a child involved? [ Getting another cut from the base of his fingers and drawing a pentagram on the floor - causing the area to feel cold and dead; he waves his blade over it and an ethereal mist wraps around the blade. They are formless and figureless, but they feel like they have faces. He readies it; just in case ]
Richter: Damn. <Richter moves slowly keeping his left hand on his chest. He's stands next to the small man and pats him in the shoulder with a heavy hand> Ex..cuse me....sir........<coughs>
August: No! Igor! <Since he couldn't convince Igor to stop, he encases him in a rebounding shield, making him immovable, normally at least a minute for regular people, he doesn't know if it'll even affect Igor. Another few post-it! notes burn off while August brings forth a knife made of ice. He hacks at the vines while trying to avoid the bramble flailing. Note the /trying/. He is not unscathed in his attempts but gets some slashes in nonetheless, freezing all the knife comes in contact with.>
Igor: *doesnt turn around but cuts off another branch* Yeth?
Igor: *wonders why he cant move. tries to look around. his answer comes in the form of August trying to freeze the bramble*
[The bramble dislikes the ice and starts concentrating on making August into mush.]
Richter: Could....you please......not hurt the branches.......it's not.....bad.......<Richter falls to the floor next to Igor, the pain in his chest making him weak>....if you could please......cut the vines only....that would...be great.......
Valne: We're he-- what is that thing?! *He stares in awe at a mix of vines and bramble. He then sees the people trying to separate the vines from the bramble* There's someone injured down there! *runs forward*
Moo: W-wait, Valne! We need to take necessary precautions wh-when apporaching..!
Edward: [can't summon ice directly but contributes by adding to the slashes and such ]
Igor: *breaks free from August's spell. looks down at Richter.* They wh- oh. I better move you from here, Thur. *extends Richter's shadow into the equivalent of a stretcher and moves him to the safety of the edge of the clearing*
[Bramble bush feels lighter and lighter now that the vines are the ones being targeted]
Richter: <looks at the branches> Sorry to trouble you but...could you move help me stand?
August: <Letting out more barriers as the bramble concentrates its attacks on him, he notices a student stumbles into a blood coughing heap nearby, finally, a chance to get Igor out of the fray? In which his assumptions were right...> Igor! Could you watch over that student?! I think me ad Edward are enough, looks like it's letting up! <Continues to concentrate on the vines, avoiding to freeze the bramble as much as possible. Some swipes get past his barriers resulting in some unfortunate cuts and bruises>
Igor: *looks down at Richter with polite concern* Are you quite thure, Thur? The plant ith awefully dangerouth.
Valne: Looks like he'll be safe over there-- August! What are you guys doing?!
[The bramble gradually stops trying to stop the pruning men. instead, they now try to get the rest of the vines off it.]
August: Valne! Help get the vines off the... other vines! The vines that aren't raping you don't mean anything bad! <Gets knocked down by a stray vine while his attention was diverted, dissipating his barrier>
Richter: Yeah....I'm sure. <Richter sits up and pulls out a sword trying to use it as a cane>
Weea: [he notices Augusts barriers are falling apart and runs to him. He hands August some pills of unknown origin.] Aug! Take this. It'll make your wounds feel lighter. Also have you tried using the push-up bra of amazingness?
Priscilla:hmmmm.... i thought i saw ritcher here... *priscilla wanders the forest once again looking for the men she just lost in her sight, she already wore all her gear except for her gloves.. so atleast her touch could somewhat keep the plants away*
Valne: August! You okay? *runs towards the vines* Darn.. what do I do? I don't have anything I can cut them with!
Igor: *shakes his head, questioning for the nth time the foolhardiness of humans. No wonder they needed Igors.* Very well.

*Raises up his palm. the shadow stretcher becomes a throne. he moves it nearer to the bramble.*
Richter: Ok, this is more convinient. <Richter turns his attention to the bramble> I need to apologize for scaring and hurting you. If my big brother were here he'd most likely be sad if I don't apologize.
[The vines, stubbornly hold on but shrink back with every slash and freeze. slowly but surely, they start to retreat.]
Valne: *tries to get the attention of the vines by throwing the colored balls at it* I'll pick these up later.. I'll pick these up later...
Weea: Arab, I'll trade you the freeze ray for 20 of your friends spines!
Richter: <Hears the freeze ray remark> Please no! <coughs>
August: <Checks the pills for a second, sees they're quite similar to what Alec brought home a few years ago, tried them then, the night did not end nicely. He pockets the pills of questionable origin> I'm... good, Weea, and I haven't! How do you use it exactly?! <He tosses his glacial knife to Valne, it's cold to the touch, but not colder than an iced coke, he decides against getting up for now, to recover, and it looks like everyone seems to be taking care of it fine>
Priscilla: Sir Richter!?
[its getting calmer and calmer now. soon enough, all the remaining vines are dead.]
Weea: Twist, Fold, Stretch, Release
Richter: Oh it's you.....Priscilla? Was it? Hello. <coughs>
Valne: *hears Weea talking in his general direction* What's an Arab? And what's a freeze ray-- *Something glints from his peripheral vision and he turns in time to catch the blade* Darn it. *looks down at the colored balls scattered all over the ground* I'll get you all later! *runs closer to the vines*
[Now that the vines are gone, the bramble branches simply hover over them all. as if not quite sure what to do now. it is however quite sure that each one, at one point, tried to kill it.]
Valne: *Quickly stops as he notices the vines gone. It takes him a couple of seconds before the thought registers and tucks the knife in his available sash while hurriedly picking up the colored balls he threw earlier*
Richter: Oh dear. This is looking bad.<Richter, using a sword as leverage, stand and limps slowly to a branch of the Bramble> Hey, calm down. We're not going to hurt you....I think.
Priscilla: Are you okay... do you need assistance??? Your coughs sounds pretty bad.... is it my fault..... did the sudden cold made you sick... *she was holding her coat tightly.. as she feells guilty for suddenly releasing such cold tempreture earlier*
Richter: <pats Pricscilla on the head> No, it's nothing you did, don't worry. <cough> But if we don't do something, this one might do something to US.
August: <Takes note of Weea's 'advice' on a post-it! note, he pockets the pad, he sees the branches just hovering, he thinks it's unsure of who to attack first, he stands rather clumsily and flails his arms at it> We're sorry! We'll leave you here in peace, okay? We're done with getting rid of the pest and you're not doing anything so you can live here if you'd like! Or we can move you somewhere so those vines won't bug you anymore! But we won't hurt you anymore, okay?
Igor: *taps a couple of keys on his alvarium and sends his message to a certain Dr Cavanaugh.*
Moo: I-is everyone all right? *walks towards Richter* Young man, you need medical care immediately!
Richter: In-<coughs>-deed. <coughs><looks towards the person who spoke to him but instead found-> .....a cactus.....
Moo: On the other hand.. what are we going to do with that? *points towards the bramble*
Valne: Hey, Moo. Um.. you're kind of a plant.. and that thing over there is kind of a plant too. Maybe you can talk to it..?
Weea: [seeing that the bush has calmed down a bit, he walks up to it, grabs a certain green powder from his pocket and rubs it on the underside of a leaf] -derp face-
Richter: <rubs his eye and looks again> It really is a cactus.....
Bramble: *observing that the attacks have stopped with the retreat of the vines, and recognizing Richter and August, she tentatively decides to show herself.*

*the trunk of the bramble bush warps before them and out pokes a head of a little girl. her hair, a healthy green leafy colour. real leaves.*
Richter: <blinks away from moo and sees the bramble> You finally decide to show yourself. Hello child.
Priscilla:[scrambles to Ritcher] Sir your not okay!! [looks shyly at bramble and gives a small wave] uhmm... hi...
Valne: Oh.. it's a girl?
Moo: How intruiging. A little girl but with leaves for hair!
Bramble: *still no aggressive feelings from them. emerges half way from the trunk now. yes, she is naked from the neck down.*
Weea: [stares at Bramble] Oh god.... I just drugged a minor. aaaand she's naked. This looks baaaaaad. This will not look good on my quarterly report.
Richter: <slowly approaches Bramble>
Moo: ..!!! *quickly drags the sash Valne carried him in earlier and frantically covers the child* G-goodness! You should all be ashamed!
August: Oh... Oh! <His cheeks flash a bright pink. He averts his eyes immediately on seeing the little girl. He walks up to her while he takes off his torn-up hoodie and drapes it around her, setting down his branch for the first time of the event> And no Weea, I didn't take any!
Bramble: H-huh? *doesnt understand all the people suddenly going near her. much less the things they are draping over her. in fright she starts to retreat back into the trunk.*
Richter: <Kneels close to Bramble> Can you speak? <sees her retreat> Wait wait wait no! <coughs> I really need to get this looked at.
Weea: I was talking about the g- you know what... never mind. [lights a joint and smokes it. his eyes are wide and twitchy. he paces]
Priscilla: [looks again at bramble and smiles] wow its cool you can be naked and people can still be near you...
Weea: [stares at Arthas-chan] TWO naked girls. Soooo not good.
August: N-no! I'm sorry! <Kneels down, so that's he's on eye-level with Bramble, he offers an open palm face up towards her while looking away, hopefully How to Train Your Dragon didn't lie>
Richter: We won't hurt you. So please come out. We just want <grunts> to talk.
Bramble: *stops retreating. but doesnt make a move to get out any more than she has.*

*looks at Richter then at August, then at August's hand.*
Weea: -Aug is about to engage with that girl. what kind of people does this school hire?-
Bramble: *doesnt take the hand but speaks softly, not used to having vocal chords or even hearing* Wh-what do you want... *she pauses and swallows. saliva new to her.* from me?
Richter: We, just want to ta...lk<Richter falls on his side. He is weak and injured but continues to try and stand>
Weea: -OH MY GOD! the sword guy is in it too. these guys are outright looney-
August: <She talks!> We want to take you somewhere safe, where the vines won't hurt you. Do you have a name? <He doesn't retract his hand>
Bramble: *alarmed at Richter suddenly falling over. branches try to catch him, not caring if the branches still have thorns.*
Priscilla:[rusehs to Richter side] Sire please dont force your self....
Weea: -Don't they know kids cannot have kids? Or can they...? OH MY GOD WHAT AM I THINKING???-
Bramble: *dismisses august's question* Wh-what's wrong... with him?
Valne: Woah.. take it easy! *slowly tucks Richter's arm over his shoulder, giving him support* You need to get to a.. um.. Moo, what's the word used for someone who takes care of sick people?
August: You kinda... hurt him a whole lot. He might pass out.
Moo: That would be a doctor. And we should get him to one soon.
Richter: <Richter lands on the branh and feels the thorsn prick him but he keeps his reaction in tact> *I can't startle her.* <he gets lifted by Valne> Thank you.
Bramble: H-huh? *looks at August* H-hurt?
Weea: -T-the Arab as well? But I should have figured that. He's probably Muslim-
August: Like... how the vines hurt you, like how they cut you.
Valne: *flashes him a smile* No problem. Uh.. you probably shouldn't talk too much either. I keep seeing those parts with injured people when I watch the moving picture box. (( A.K.A injured scenes on t.v. wherein people are told not to talk ))
Richter: Yeah...I'll keep that in mind. *Does he mean a television?*
Igor: *recieves a txt back and checks his alvarium. turns away and snaps his fingers, creating a hole in the ground.*

Dr Cavanaugh: *gradually rises up out of the hole* What's the emergency this time, Igor? *looks at the group before them. and sighs.* /Students/. *the word goes out with obvious distaste*
Richter: (I think I'm dying, a strange man just popped out of a hole).
Bramble: A-ah. *doesnt know what to say. doesnt even know the concept of apologizing. feels very bad now. starts crying, just a bit.*
Valne: *is given a start by the random figure rising from a hole in the ground*
Weea: -I wonder... if she's a plant... does that mean she waters herself when she cries?-
Moo: *seeing as Richter's situation is under control, he motions towards the confused girl* There, there. It's all right, child.
Priscilla: [looks at bramble as she stands besides richter]please dont cry... i think he wont like it.. if he sees you with have a teary face
Igor: Just thum firth aid will be in order, Dr Cavanaugh. Then we can all go to your clinic.

Dr Cavanaugh: *just goes to Richter to inspect. hand on his chest. heavy breathing. blood on lips.*

*he shakes his head and says to Pris* Excuse me. *puts his palm to Richter's chest and mumbles a healing spell to at least stop the internal bleeding*
August: N-noo... don't cry... <Just takes Bramble into a hug, hopefully a universal way of reassurance> We'll be sad if you cry...
Richter: <feels itchy and tingly in the inside but is feeling better> That....helped. Thank you sir. <taps his chest lightly for good measure.
Bramble: *doesnt know what a hug is so her first reaction is to try and push August away. the heavy branches avove them come down just a bit, as if in warning.*
Richter: I think I'll live. Thank you, and who are you?
Moo: It's all right, child. August means well. He's just trying to comfort you.
Dr Cavanaugh: Welcome. *straightens up and visually inspects them all. they all look roughed up but not to near collapse as the young man beside him. he nods and goes back to Igor.* Send them to me when you're done. *steps back into the hole and disappears.*
Richter: .....<rubs his eye> Wait til big bro hears about this. <turns his attention to Bramble but notices the talking cactus next to her instead> .....talking cactus.....~I wanna poke it.~
August: <Not noticing the branches advance, he pats her back reassuringly with his hold not too tight as his kneel goes lower into a sit>
Igor: Underthtood. *closes his portal*

Bramble: *sniffles a bit*
Richter: <notices the branches closing in on August> Ummm excuse me, sir, I think you should look up.
Priscilla:[Priscilla sees Richter okay now and gives him a hug] glad your okay again^^ [looks at bramble and smiles] want to hug him too??
Richter: [Pauses for a momen] ~If picture can say a 1000 words, then I am in DEEEEEEEEEEEEP trouble.~
Bramble: *looks at Pris* H-hug?
Weea: -I think I'm going to Scele now. Irene should be free. I'll pay double and maybe ask her out to the movies. Maybe she'll go steady with me now. Or maybe I can just take a bath and sleep.-
Weea: [trudges away]
Richter: It's a human expression. You wrap your arms around a person to show affection, like what Pricsilla is doing and like what the person<reffering to August> is doing.
Priscilla: Yes Hug~ like this~[hugs richter more] you can do it too it makes everyione feel good when you hug someone~
August: This is a hug! <Gives another light squeeze to bramble before retreating again, then he thinks for a while, and remembers Tarzan. He puts a hand up to his chest, his face beaming with a smile despite the scratches> August! <Then he puts a hand gently on bramble's leafy head>
Bramble: *looks at the arm wrapping. looks down at herself. her arms are stuck to her sides. slides her arms forwards, detatching them from the trunk and her sides. her skin is the colour of bark with small thorns. she holds them out as if to hug. but otherwise doesnt do anything else*
Valne: Uh.. *doesn't know how to feel as Priscilla is hugging Richter while he still has an arm of his over his shoulder* Are you okay now? Can you stand on your own?
Richter: Yes, I think I can. Thank you again.....ummmm, I'm sorry I didn't get your name.
Valne: It's Valne. I haven't met you before either, what's your name? *cautiously lifts Richter's arm off his shoulder in case Richter's wound wasn't fully healed yet*
Richter: It's Richter, Richter Lawrence Alcross. [sees August do the tarzan hand gesture and copies it only holding out hisleft hand to Bramble] Richter.
Priscilla: [looks at bramble unsure id she could hug her... She is worried if she is too cold...but she reached out her gloved hands to bramble trying to see if she would flinch due to her tempreture]
Bramble: *looks from August to Richter and repeats their names. comprehending on some level.*
Valne: I see. Nice to meet you Richter! You see that cactus over there? His name is Moo. I can introduce you guys later.
Richter: Huzzah. [Hears Valne] The cactus.....yes.
August: <Positively gleeful, nods affirmatively, repeats the gesture of his introduction, then pats Bramble's head then cocks his head, like he's waiting for her to speak>
Bramble: *doesnt know what else to say really.* Will you.... go now?
Richter: If you want us to leave, then we will.
Priscilla: Awww.. can we bring her with us
August: <Ehhh, close enough.> If you want us to. Will you stay? Or go with us?
Richter: We could, but only if she wishes to go. What say you child?
Moo: If those vines still exist within this forest, then I suggest she comes with us. Otherwise we'd have to deal with them again.
Priscilla: [looks at richter]I never have a plant that has never withered before... maybe we can be friends ... [looks at bramble with pleading eyes] please come with us
Valne: I agree. Those things were creepy as it is.
[meows can be heard in the distance]
Priscilla:[shivers at the sounds of kittens] We should take her... now...before the kittens comes here
Bramble: *looks at them* h-how do i go... with you? I... can't go... can I?
Richter: Hmmmm.[Thinks] ~The cactus, that I still want to poke, proves a point but more than that~[Looks at bramble] ~She is a child and has no one to look after her, but I can't very well force her out of her habitat~Hmmmm.
Moo: Can you walk, child?
August: You can go! <He stands up slowly and steps forward and backward a little> Walk! <Dear god, we're getting somewhere!>
Bramble: Walk?
Richter: [Stands] Do what I do. [Richter walks slowly so Bramble can follow]
Moo: Yes, place one foot in front of the other. *smiles* Try walking to one of us. Except me of course. Lest you fall you might get pricked by me.
August: <Walks backwards a little, picking up his branch, expecting the little bramble bush to walk towards Richter> Walk with us! <He smiles at her>
Priscilla: [smiles at bramble] Teehee You can walk with us^^ [reaches her hand again at the cute bramble bush
Bramble: *looks at all of them going away. looks at the ground. looks at Pris' hand.*

*reaches for the hand, and hesitates when she feel's Pris' coldness.*
Priscilla:[looks at richter] Sir you do it~ I think plants really hate the cold ahahahah...
Valne: *faces Richter and grins* Call out to her and ask her to walk to you.
Richter: . . .<sigh> Very well.
August: Walk with us! <He squats down to her eye level to beckon to the little bramble bush>
Richter: [walks over and kneels next to Pricsilla and extends his hand to Bramble] It's alright. We're by your side.
Bramble: *reaches out and takes his hand* What now?
Richter: We go wherever our legs takes us.
Bramble: ... what are legs?
[sparkle moths fly over the crowd, releasing pink gas and yellow slivers of light]
August: Legs! <He pats his left upper leg and takes a step with it quite enthusiastically> To walk!
Priscilla: [stands in awe of the sight how Richter is assisting the bramble bush as the sparkle moth gave it a very dream like scene]
Bramble: *looks down at her trunk. moves forward.*

*The entire tree shakes and moves with her. tilting as she tries to break free. she forms legs for herself and, holding on to Richter's hand, takes one step out of her bush.*

*she falls down. legs formed. behind her, the great bramble bush starts withering.*
Valne: *stares in awe with Priscilla... except he's more focused on the moths than the scene itself* ... Prettyyyy... *eyes begin to sparkle a little*
Richter: ~She's the very heart of the branches huh. What an amazing world we live in~ [Looks at Valne, Priscilla and then at Moo] Amazing indeed.
Bramble: *tries to get up but doesnt know how to move her legs. instead, bramble branches sprout from her back. smaller versions of her home bush.* A-ack.
August: Good job! <Pats bramble's leafy head, unpertrubed by the scene> Let's go?
Richter: Yes, lets. I believe everyone's been here for too long. Though I feel like we forgot something.
Priscilla:[smiles at the scene that just happened] I guess we can go back now~
Bramble: *tries to get up again. same result. she might need a little help here guys*
[The sun starts to set as colors fill the sky]
Priscilla: Sir richter help her up~
Richter: [Helps Bramble get up then pats her on the head] You'll get used to.
Igor: *looks like they're ready to leave* Youth ready to leave now then?
[suddenly, rainbow]
August: Hey, what's your name! <Referring to Richter, while he fixes his jacket draped on Bramble then zips it up> Clothes good! No clothes, bad!
Valne: *points* Ooooh, I've only seen those in books and the box with moving pictures!
Bramble: *stands up unsteadily but keeps upright*
Richter: Oh yes, my apologies. I'm Richter Lawrence Alcross, call me Richter.
Priscilla: Aww shes so cute [looks at richter] so what are we going to call her?
Richter: Me?
August: Richter, huh? New student? Yes, you! She likes you!
Richter: I-I've never been good at naming.
Moo: I've read that girls have names based off flowers.
Valne: How about "Fluffy"?
Moo: Valne, I don't think that's an appropriate name...
Valne: How come? She looks kind of fluffy to me.
Moo: Well, it's not exactly a name befitting of a lady.
Valne: *scratches head* Oh.. sorry.
Moo: It's quite alright! I'll teach you more about socialization skills some other time.
Richter: Flowers huh? Hmm. I read once, in flower language a white lily means purity. [Looks at Bramble] I guess we'll call you Lily.
Bramble: *Just blinks at Richter*
Richter: No good?
Igor: Are we now all thet? *is very behind his cleaning schedule*
Priscilla: Well she looks like a Lily~
Bramble: It's... its ok. *tries it out* Lily. *it sounds easy and simple enough. she nods at Richter*
August: She doesn't look like a Lily, Richter. But whatever! We need to take you to the clinic.
Igor: *stretches and combines their shadows together* Youth might want to clothe your eyeth. *they all start sinking into the shadows* Dont worry. Ith perfectly thafe. *he smiles at all of them before teleporting them all into the school clinic*</lj-cut>

Bramble Origins RP Part 5

2011-11-03T16:38:45Z

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<stops [...] branch.>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

[Here we are again in Ludus forest!]

[The last time we left our heroes, several of them have gotten lost in the forest. Uncomfortably accompanied by horny and thorny plant life.]

[There have already been attempts to reduce the vegetation to mere kindling but all have as yet proven unsuccessful in thouroughly removing the infestation. The experts have long since been called in but until now, students are still strugging to keep their chastity belts on inside the forest.]

[That aside, there have also been recent sightings of naked people in the forest. Their association with the local vegetation has been dubbed highly dubuous by the local gossip. On the life treatening scale however, they're rated pretty low.]

[But after all has been said and done, please enter at your own risk. The admin staff isn't liable for any stains to innocence, dignity or missing goldfish.]

[That is all.]

<lj-cut text = "And there was heated intercourse 8Db">[The earth shakes a bit, the battle still ongoing between rape vines and bramble branches.]
Igor: *really wondering when all of this nonsense will end. has had enough of destroying his chainsaws and has started cutting down rapevines and bramble branches with blades of shadow and light.*
Richter: [feels the earth shake under his feet. He loses balance for a moment and places his hand on tree trunk to keep his balance] What in world? There's a foul wind blowing.
[suddenly, rapevines and bramble branches burst from an opening in the trees right in front of Richter. But instead for going right for him, they both smash into the ground. Writing and wrestling with each other. too occupied to pay the yojimbo any attention.]
[Weea retains enough strength to stand up. He is disgusted by the chaos going on, particularly that which affects Lavie. Although he laughs at the fact the scary little girl ran to the bush naked. He grabs his Alvarium to search information on the plant species. Nothing comes up.]

Weea: This is nonsensical. Stupid machine! Obviously coded wrongly.
Weea's Alvarium: http://www.alvariumsearch.com.lu/search?gcx=w&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=giant+rape+vine+thingy could not be found because the dns look up failed.
[A tree behind Weea snaps and falls over. branches overhead threatening to land on him.]
Richter: [steps back] The vines are....fighting? Hmm. I think I've heard of these. [observes the wrestling plant life] Perhaps I should avoind walking for now. [makes chains and pulls out a dagger and attaches the chain to it then jump and throws the make shift grappling hook to a nearby tree and swings past the vines]
[Weea jumps out of the way and rolls. His landing however is not perfect, hurting his his wounded elbow]
[@ Richter: The vines and branches thrash below him. rattling both the ground and the trees overhead. the branches momentarily gain the upper hand over the vines and are able to whack them against a tree trunk.]
Richter: The braches are quite strong. [conjurs another chain and attaches a dagger to it then throws it to the next tree and swings letting go and unsummoning the other chain] But I should probably just avoid getting caught in this mess. [continues swinging]
[@ Weea: Not perfect nor even. Exposed roots snagging on his clothes and bearing the brunt of Weea's fall.

The tree knocked down, he can see the scuffle just beyond the broken trunk. bramble branches lying limp on top of the trunk of the fallen tree. the rapevines tugging, trying to tear the branches apart from the main stalk.]
[Weea's landing reveals a spike pit that was recently covered in leaves. On the wall of the pit reads "WAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKA"]
[@ Richter: down below, are just more plant fights. however, out of the corner of his eye, he spots something small and humanoid moving amongst the bushes.]
Weea: [looking at the bushfight with a mix of fear and intrigue] ~interesting. this could really make a good porn/romance... somehow~
[@ Weea: something catches his eye as well from the side. glints of light piercing the trees. there is a faint smell of burning bush in the air.]
Richter: [stops landing and lands on a solid branch] Is that.....a human? [makes his grappling hook] He might need some help. [starts swinging towards the humanoid figure and pulls out a katana.]

[He swing above the humanoid figure and lets go of the chain then falls down slashing with a vertical swing cutting up the plant infront of him] Are you alright?
Tatsuya: [Inching away from the chaos, Tatsuya observed the madness ocurring before him. His mind raced as he wordlessly complained about how this was supposed to be a bloody school. His eyes dart left and right in search of a wall to hide behind, or at least climb--anything to get away from the ridiculously invasive plantlife.]
[@ Richter: when he cuts the plant in front of him. he hears a piercing shriek before the figure before him dissapears. he only catches the sight of leaves and thin branches wrapped around a little girl before it vanishes.]
Richter: Hmmm? What was...[runs after the image] HEY! IF YOUR THERE ANSWER! [pulls out a broadsword with his other hand] HEY!
[Weea, through instinct, scurries up and grabs the freeze ray in his gun holster. He aims it at the light and peers at it, estimating the rough distance and danger levels.]
[@ Tatsuya: It is a school. A school that builds character by sending out its students to do some extreme gardening. Luckily enough for him, he just got caught in a squabble between the plant life.

His path gets blocked again by vines crashing into the ground right before him. making his only way out the way he just came from. The branches to his side follow up on their attack, pinning the vines to the trunk, making it impossible for them to get to the boy for now.]
Bramble: *reappears farther away from him standing on a thick bramble branch. as soon as she spots the blade however, she shrieks again and branches rise up before her, blocking her from Richter's view, and attack him.*
[@ Weea: the flashes of light do not get any closer nor are they consistent. at times, the source emits blinding light. other times, light sucking shadow. both leaving spots in his vision.]
Richter: What?! [jumps back and swings both swords horizontaly to shield him cutting some of the branches] What in the world? [spots the scared child] Hey! are you alright?!
Tatsuya: This is not what I enrolled for! [Tatsuya falls backward, too fast to fall the way he'd been taught. The situation just seemed too strange to comprehend. He landed poorly but the pain was tolerable, his eleven year old frame was able to take worse than this kind of treatement, only... it was all so surreal. He scans the floor, trying desperately to find anything of use, but his imagination, coupled with the sounds of the violence, slows him down.]

Dammit!

[He crouches low and maintains his footing, ready to duck or roll as the situation would demand. If only he could find safer ground.]
[@ Richter: The child screams once again. seemingly energizing the branches attacking Richter. a branch sneaks to his side and tries to swipe his feet out from under him.]
Richter: [gets tripped by the branches] KUH! Fighting intelligent plant life, there's a first.
[The light dazzles Weea. As a response, he flails and accidently shoots the direction of bramble.]
[@ Tatsuya: small vines snake through the undergrowth while its bigger brethren are busy dealing with the nasty thorny branches overhead. sensing a warm and shaking body, the vines are pleased to find a wrist to wrap around. they wrap then start to tug.]
[@ Richter: feeling him trip. the branches try to wrap around his torso next. thorns at the ready to scrape, tear and pierce.]
[@ Weea: the ray hits a nearby tree to bramble. she shivers inadvertently and melds back into her branch. seeking a warmer area to reappear again.]
Tatsuya: [Tatsuya eased his weight on this foot to take a step but was caught off guard as the vines coiled around his wrist. Scrambling backwards, he chose to tug back at first but eventually decided to rotate his wrist in the opposite rotation that the vines had chosen. Hopefully, their grip wasn't yet tight enough to lock his entire arm in place.]
Richter: Not good. [throws both his swords at the branches and does a kip-up and dashes forward to away from the branches] Next! <he faces forward and sees that the girl meld into the tree> How is that-wait. [remembers hearing her shriek when he cut the branches] It couldn't be possible. Could it? [makes his grappling hook and jumps and swings trying to find the girl]
[@ Tatsuya: the vines are slightly surprised but arent even mature enough to keep their grip on him. they are also naive enough to pursue. tatsuya sees them slink towards his legs this time around. logic dictates he get out of there. fast.]
[@ Richter: swinging here and there, he still catches glimpses of what could be her. her leaves melding smoothly with the bushes around her. the more he notices her, the more she runs ever deeper into the forest. trying to lose him]
Richter: Hmmm, it appears she's grown afraid of me.<stops on a branch. falls off the branch> Oh dear.<continues falling and grabs the tree with his bare hands and slides down, scarping his fingers but lands safely on the ground> Owww. That hurts. <looks towards the forest and the branches> How can I speak to her? Perhaps swinging is much to obvious but how do I hide from someone with eyes all over the forest? Ah. If she has eyes, maybe she has ears too. <inhales> HEY! BRANCH GIRL! STOP RUNNING! I JUST WANT TO TALK!
Igor: *stops his assult on both vine and branch alike hearing the ray gun go off. shadows and light fading to nothing. in his wake, plants sizzled or whithered.*
Tatsuya: [The vines slip off, causing Tatsuya to tumble backwards. Now on the floor and with the adrenaline pumping in, he had the presence of mind to turn the fall into a backward roll and propelled himself as he got on his feet. Keeping his limbs close to his center of mass, Tatsuya scanned the area looking for a place to run. With no weapons on him, it seemed the smartest thing to do. For now.] Professors! [He yells frantically at no one in particular. There's bound to be somebody who could hear this him.]
[@ Richter: when he stomps on the branch, it reacts and tries to throw him off.

seemingly oblivious to his call, she doesnt appear. perhaps she really cant hear him.]
Weea: [he continues flailing. random shots to the sky reveal frozen archeaopteryx crashing down as hail. a bolt flies to the direction of the rape vines.]
Richter: <waits for a reply> Hmm. HEY! I'M SORRY FOR HURTING YOU! PLEASE COME OUT!
Priscilla:[She walks to the forest again after her last rendevous from this place she decided to take some rest, now shes here again, hoping she wont encounter strange creatures, Priscilla wears light clothing today for protection, She always makes a trace of withered and frosted plants on her path as the cold air surrounds her entire body]
[@ Tatsuya: the stray shot hits a tree in front of him. freezing trunk, vine and branch in place. nearby he can start to hear random shooting over the sound of his pumping hearbeat.]
[Richter meets only silence.]
Richter: I guess it's not working, on to plan B. <Richter dashes forward leaping and jumping over the roots and cutting any vines along his path> I have to remember to only cut the vines, not the pointy ones.
[@ Pris: the plants seemingly shrink back, wanting nothing to do with her. even just at the outskits of the forest though, she could already hear the sounds of chaos and battle within.]
Tatsuya: [Tatsuya notices the frozen tree and panics] What the-? [Hearing the sound of the shooting, Tatsuya quickly took the chance to sprint elsewhere to at least gain distance from the vines. If this beast was coming at people like this, then there's likely to be something commanding it. He launches himself at a tree and starts to climb. If anything, he can probably make the vines' chase after him a lot harder if they had tree branches impeding their way.]

[He considers approaching the sound of the shots but decides against it. He was unarmed and the cause knew magic, simple as that.]
[@ Richter: engaged in heated intercourse with the bramble branches, the rapevines are surprised to suddenly drop limp and dead to the ground with every slash and cut of richter's blades. the branches entangled with the vines suddenly find themselves freer, rising above ground and trunk, wondering what had happened to their adversary.]
Richter: Hopefully this will get her attention. <He dashes forward cutting the vines as he goes until he leaps over a thick root and finds the air around him turn frigid> Coooold. <He stops for a moment and rubs his shoulders finding warmth> I doubt weather like this is normal....even for this place.
Igor: *cautiously approaches the source of the cold rays. avoiding the stray shots in his direction by hiding behind trees*
Priscilla:[She hears the chaos as she runs into the woods, She rushes to the sound and worries that people where in trouble she stops on her tracks as she saw someone fighting a very angry plant]
Bramble: *The cold discourages her even more from appearing. the bramble branches shrink and try to get away from the uncomfortable cold of the rays and of the little girl that just strayed in its territory.*
Richter: T-t-t-t-this might not be g-g-g-g-good for her. I need t-t-t-to find the cause of t-t-t-t-this frost before she d-d-d-d-disappears. Ahhh...ahhhhh.....ACCCKKKCHOOO! <sniff> or before I get sick. <dashes forward following the trail of frozen plant life>
Edward: [enters the Forest, the shrubbery have gotten exceedingly worse, but now - he was there with a purpose. He had learned of the reward that followed upon defeating it. Edward did like his money. He walks into the forest; weilding a bloodied katana and surveys the area for anyone in danger ]
[Weea wipes his eyes. They're still blurry. Too afraid to move, he yells.]
Edward: [ Loud booming australian voice ] Pesky lil' vermins still harassing the lot of ya'? [ Yelling to no one in particular. The Ginger man, folds the sleeves of his already too-short Kimono as to reach the elbows of his defined arms; gripping the sword eagerly itching for a fight ]
Priscilla:[She gasps as she heard the man has sneeze, She put on her thick coat to surpress the cold air, she shouted at him worried] Sir are you okay?! I apologize for the sudden tempreture drop...
Richter: <notices the thick clothed child> What? Why are you apologizing, and why did it get warmer? Where did the freeze go? Regardless, child you should get out of here, needless to say it's dangerous here.
Igor @ Weea: *yells behind a tree* ARTH YOUTH ALRIGHT?! THOP THOOTING! I CAN HELP!
Priscilla: Ahh.. It is my fault... I was given a gift to protect myself.....I can change the tempreture around me... if i wear leass clothing... its to protect me... from strange men who chases after kids... but.... it seems to affect eveyone as well...
Weea: Help me! I can't see! I'LL NEVER SEE GIRLS AGAIN!!! I DON'T HAVE A VERY GOOD IMAGINATION WITH FACIAL DETAILS!!!
Tatsuya: Goddamned useless trees! I can't understand how her ladyship even manages to fight with just sticks.. the things are useless! [He searches the tree for a sturdy looking branch to snap off but fails, so he leaps down and sprints to another and begins climbing again.]
Richter: That.....is certainly a gift, but I need you to stop or atleast try to minimize it. See those branches? <points to thorny branches> I'm looking for the person who controls them, and she doesn't like her plants getting frozen.
[@ Tatsuya: its relatively safer up in the trees, that is true. safer when it comes to the bramble branches at least. too bad the rapevines have serpentine qualities. thus, when he brushes his hand against a branch overhead, he feels not rough hard bark but smooth soft vine.]
Edward: [ Here's the sullen cries of Weea's Help me; runs towards him; Sword armed in preparation ] BUT IMAGININ' WOMENS CHEAPER [ Slashing any vine in his path in neat and precise strokes ]
[@ Edward: another fight between branch and vine breaks through the trees, barreling right for him. this seems too thick to cut though.]
Weea: I GET WHAT I PAY FOR... SOMETIMES. but that doesn't matter. I'M VACCINATED
Igor: *starts to recognize the voices and resists the instinctual urge to facepalm. he shakes his head instead.*

[@ Weea:] I'M COMING RIGHT FOR YOUTH THUR. DO. NOT. MOVE.
Edward: Worse than a buncha vapid mozzies, yeah! [ Edward complains; managing to deflect one or two vines. He has to stop mid battle to lecture Weea ] - Why the bleeding fuck are ye paying for em' shielas?! D'you know how expensive a proper hookah is? You can spend that hard earnt money on substantial things
Priscilla: Ohh.. I apologize again... I must have scared the person you are pursuing... but please... be careful... if you see me getting attacked... run away from me as far as you can.. I wont hesitate to take all of my clothes when im in danger...
Edward: Now, don't get a wife either; bloody things are costly mind. Imagination. See. If your clever enough; the touch of a real woman can be RECREATED using CHEAPER MATERIALS
Weea: They are substantial! They're women! Nothing gets more substantial!
Igor: *walks on over to Weea and Edward and nods to the both of them* Good day Thur Edward. *faces Weea* Thur Weea. *ignoring their discussion of very single life with a very straight face*
Richter:.......Child, when you grow older......don't ever say that in public again. Promise me.
Tatsuya: What? [He suddenly pushes himself back, in anticipation of a snake bite. He wasn't sure what it was he'd touched, but the shock was enough to remind him. Other than the plants, things existed in forests that could end him pretty quickly too.]

[Unfortunately, his surprise caused him to fall to the ground. With his back aching, Tatsuya only managed to groan in pain as his vision blurred. A string of softly groaned Japanese curses passed his lips as he imagined only more of the vines coming after him.]
Weea: Eegs! help me out a bit! Ed's being a twat and I'm blind!
Edward: Substantial things are costly, mate. S'why we can't have nice things. [ Looking at Igor with a big grin on his face ] Igor, Cheers mate. How's that little chainsaw o' yours still wasting precious precious money burnin up gas when you can hack at this with a sword? Use blades, it's cheaper
Igor: I cannot do anything about Thur Edward being a twat Thur. I can however help with your blindneth. Pleath bend down tho I can have a look.

*looks up at Edward* I thopped after my 36th chainthaw, Thur Edward.
Weea: [Bends down. He accidentally trips on a branch and a packet of morphine drops from his shirt pocket.]
Edward: And did you recycle the rest and sell the materials for the profit? There are starvin' children mate who could make betta do with that money then -
Priscilla: [looks at the man confused] But its only to protect myself.... I cannot choose my enemies... and i might do harm to anyone innocent if i did not warn them to get away from me... when im stripping all my clothes....
[@ Tatsuya: the vines under him cushion his fall. however, using vines to cushion one's self is far from a good idea.

The vines, delighted of having such a young supple boy in their care, start to gently wrap around the boy. starting with his thighs.]
Richter: . . . Stay innocent child, and stay safe. <makes his grappling hook and swings off following the branches> Mental note. Never ask about her power again.
Edward: CRIKEY, That boy's in Dangah! [ Running towards Tetsuya and attempting to Slash at the vines; to release the boy.]
Tatsuya: [Tatsuya forced himself to get up although his little arms did little to that effect. He was worryed that blurry soon turn to black and so he thrashed violently in the hope that he wouldn't succumb any faster to the mess the fall is bringing him to.]
Igor: *reaches up to cup Weea's face and stares deeply into his eyes. examining every detail to find out what's wrong. nodding to himself, he determines something just short circuited behind his eyeballs. he touches the lids of Weea's eyes and gently uses light to repair the damage inside.*
[The vines fall back at Edwards slashes, pulling Tatsuya with them into the safety of the bushes. stubbornly not letting go of their prey.]
Edward: Oi. [ Noticing that Tatsuya is indeed, Japanese; he lifts the child easily; and drags him away from the vines with a conisderable amount of effort as the vines are foul tempered beasts. ] - DAIJOBOU DA?
Priscilla: Thank you for your concern sir... [Priscilla was surprised as she watches the man swings off to a branch, she panics and suddenly followed im she shouts at him with all her might asking a question] SIR WHAT'S YOUR NAME??
[The vines let go, only to try and tug at Edwards legs instead. trying to bring both him and the boy down]
Richter: <stops on a branch> RICHTER! AND YOU??
Edward: You pesky lil buggahs! [ Kicking Branches Away ]
Tatsuya: [With his vision impaired, Tatsuya felt an even greater fear when he was lifted up. Larger vines seem to have come upon him and raised him so he thrashed about, kicking, and reaching for anything to hit. He grabbed one of the supposed vines and wrapped both legs around it. Let's see how the bloody plant handles a fucking armbar.]

[Thankfully though, Tatsuya catches the question and mutters back] Nan desu ka? [before opening his eyes.] Please, for the love of kami, tell me you have a blade on you!
Priscilla: [stops on her tracks as the man replied she yelled] PRISCILLA! PLEASE BE SAFE!!! AND IF SUDDENLY GETS COLD YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!
Weea: [taps pocket] M-My morphs... MY MORPHS
Richter: I---I GOT IT! And I'll try not to think about it. AND THANK YOU! <continues swinging>
Edward: Hai, nandemonai. [ REACHING INSIDE THE BADLY SEWN ON KIMONO POCKETS he pulls out a small switchblade, and hands its to Tatsuya ] Use, that. Not guns. It's cheaper
Igor: *finishes healing Weea. face still inches away from his, close enough to kiss.* There Thur. Good ath new. *he smiles*
[A hard blow suddenly hits Edward's back while he isnt looking.]
Weea: [places his hands on Igors shoulders. bishie sparkles optional] Good man! [Aims at the vines] TAKE THIS [fires 6 shots]
Edward: [Gets hit] CHEAP SHOT. [Shaking his fists at the vines ]
[shots hit true and vine and branch alike freeze in place.]
Richter:<swinging from tree to tree. He observes the branches hoping to find a pattern to find the little child he saw. He stops on a branch> This is getting tiresome. Where could she be? This is almost as hard as finding big bro.
Vines: *grab edward's fist and /pull/*
Tatsuya: Haai! [Tatsuya reaches for it greedily and flicks it menacingly.] ARIGATO, KYODAINA-SAAAN! [He falls off him as Edward is hit from behind and lunged at the closest vine nearby. Revenge time, you perverted dick plant.]
Vines: *VICTIM DOWN! start to dogpile on Tatsuya, trying to pin his legs down*
Tatsuya: [performs a somewhat awkward kotegaeshi on the approaching vines with an unorthodox slash]
Weea: Igor! Chainsaw! now!
[@ Richter: the branches are retracting further into the forest, trying to get away from the madman with the freeze gun]
Edward: [Getting pulled down; he frowns as he realises he cannot exorcise these evil spirits. He decides then to do the simplest thing to come in mind; He bites the vines ]
Weea: ED! It could be poisonous! ... Medicine is expensive!
Igor: *draws out something better. straightens up a bit and steps away from Weea. in his palms appear discs of pure light.* No need. *he walks on over to the nearest vines and branches and starts searing them off.*
Edward: [ Bites down harder ] It's alright - Weeam, I don't believe in that medicine bullload anyway!
Tatsuya: [With his legs pinned down, he did his best to avoid stretching his arms out too much. Short, deliberate slashes at only the closest vines. His intent wasn't really to chop, it was to tear so that snapping, if ever, would be easier.]
Vines: *writhe under Edward, pleasure mixed with the pain of the bite. they nevertheless coil up and punch Ed's cheek for daring to bite them.*
Priscilla: [Priscilla sees Ritcher gets away... she walks ways in the opposite direction looking for a safe place to rest, she took off her gloves and hat just to make sure no one will touch her... when she is wandering around the forest]
Richter: They're......running away. Why? <looks around to find the cause. Notices flashes of light from a part of the forest> Hm? <Richter takes off his eye patch opens his Overseer eye> I hate using this thing. <Looks at the point where the flashes are coming from. He sees a man with a strange looking gun along with some other people. after he quickly puts on his eye patch> haaaaa....<richter kneels on the branch and holds his head> DAMMIT! MY HEAD IS SPLITTING! Owwwwwwww.....whatever the case he seems to be the cause, owwwwwwwwww I need to rest a bit. <richter sits on the branch and lean on the tree looking toward the braches retreating into the forest> Don't worry, I'll help you. <closes his eye to nap for a bit>
Vines: *look up at the sleeping richter and start creeping up to him.*

Branches:*notice their enemy's not so pure intentions and shove them off the trunk before they can get half way up*
All plants: *try to give Pris as wide a berth as possible.*
Edward: [ Gets punched ; staggers back; considers trying to exorcise the evil spirits living within the branches; but realises there are probably none. He takes out a deck of Ofuda from his pockets; cutting himself against the sharp edges of the paper to cause a bit of bleeding - he mutters something esoteric and in a dialect of an ancient eastern tongue and the paper transforms itself into a flock of crows that attempt to distract the branches by flying towards them and circling ]
Richter: <Yawns then rubs his eye, quickly getting up> That was long enough. Now, back to business. <makes his chains and swings towards Wea's group>
Tatsuya: [Gets pinned down even more; decides to cut away at those near his legs. He ran the risk of cutting himself, but it's better to bleed a little than be tied up and accidentally crushed by anything. After getting a little more room, he tries to kick them away by rapidly pedaling with his legs.]
Priscilla:[stops at the middle of the forest as she spots a good place to sit for awhile, she reach for her pockets and took out a few sweets and eats them, she wonders how se will get rid off the plants without harming anyone in the forest]
Richter: <As he approaches Wea's group, he notices a small boy on the ground fighting the vines as best he could> That's not good. <Richter closes in on the boy and swings low enough for him to grab him> Are you alright?
Tatsuya: [Grabs on for dear life] Slightly [he gasps, struggling to catch his breath]. Thank you!
Richter: <Lands away from the vines and sets down the boy then takes out the two falsions he was using earlier> Stay behind me. <Richter raises his swords waiting for the vines to attack>
Tatsuya: Got anything to spare? [Tatsuya asked, indicating the rather unintimidating nature of his switchblade.] Absolutely anything. [And with that, he raised his blade to an offensive posture and kept an eye out for potential threats]
Richter: <puts one falshion in his hand then takes out a nodachi and hands it to the boy> Here. If you know how to use it, better. <readies once more to strike>
Edward: Ya can do a lot with the Switch blade. [Dissapointedly, as his crows further attack and gnaw at the branches ]
<A faint sound of ~intense fabric rustling~ is heard from above, accompanied by ~intense leaves rustling~ and maybe some panicked shouting.>

August: Remind me again why this is a good idea, Valne! <Falling feet-first, gripping tightly on his primary weapon: a rather sizable branch with post-it! notes tied onto its various twigs.>
[August is back, so Zaldun is probably... sleeping]
Richter: <sees the strange ginger man biting a vine> I'm not sure you should do that. <dashes forward, slashing vine after vine making sure to avoid cutting the branches>
Tatsuya: Yatta! [Tatsuya lifted the blade with both hands, tucking in his arms in close for extra support. He nodded sagely at Edward but lifted up the nodachi to indicate its range] Thank you Kyodaina-sama, but I can't risk being in their proximity. I'm not exactly the largest one here. [And he turned around, an almost paranoid expectation for another vine to be looming nearby]
Edward: We should all work together; so I can get the prize money. The cause is mutally beneficial to everyone.
Richter: Fine. <slashes vine> But we all have to agree, don't attack the branches with thorns.
Priscilla:[startled by the sudden sound of leaves and branches, she carefully approached the sight] Who's there!! dont make me strip on you!
Tatsuya: What for? [He said, hacking away at yet another one.] You want me to aim in a situation like this??
Valne: *shields his face as he gets scratched by a couple of nearby branches on the way down* Your brother suggested it! Ow. ow. ow. ow. ow. I thought we were supposed to have those balloon-things come out of our backs like in that box with the moving pictures!
Richter: It can't be helped. The branches might be the only key to saving us, and besides the branches are helping us.<dashes to tatsuya and slashed a vine slowly creeping up behind him>
Moo: *not-so-gracefully descending from one branch to another* AAahHAAAHahAAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Oof! Ooh! Ow! Pffft! Blakdfjaklsdjfaklsdjflksaj!
Edward: Working together is cheaper anyway, look at miners! You don't go down a bleeding Mine Shaft alone.
[the vines and branches have collectively grasped that, with the sudden influx of new people, its better to give up territory than lose another limb. both start retreating into the forest.]
Tatsuya: Our only chance? [He pulled his nodachi back a bit, now trying to distinguish which is which. He is saved by Richter from an unseen foe and so thanks him for it.] We need a plan! What else works on this thing anyway?? [He then doubled back, targeting another vine]
Richter: Right, and also...<sets his sight on wea> Excuse me, sir with the freeze gun, could you refrain from using that? You're scaring the branches away.
Igor: *notices the retreat. jumps in after the branches and vines, cutting at the stragglers*
Edward: [ Had to give a pause ] Iggs, you tried setting this on fire? We could get Sasha. I-Is that August?
Priscilla: [looks at the two guys who fall from the sky she quietly approached them] Are you guys okay..??? [She then hears another thing falling from the sky as yells incoherent words, she could feel her face blushed at the sight]
Richter: No fire! Something more controlled, please. Here <reaches into his tasset and throws out random knives and swords> Take any of these, just don't do anything to damage the forest.
Weea: Recognizes 2/3 of the voices near by. Oh. My. GOD! THE ARAB!
Richter: <Patting Wea on the shoulder> Excuse me, sir. Did you hear anything I said?
August: ... So that's what those backpacks he handed me this morning were f--- Agh! Ow! Yeesh! <He quickly pulls out a post-it! pad and writes on it in quite a rush. He makes a wide stroke on the last number as it simultaneously turns to ash, the ground beneath Valne, Moo and August slowly turns onto a colorful kiddie ball pool. August lands and scatters a bunch of them. He gets up from the pit holding his head and focusing his eyes to the chaos around him. He spots...] Edward! How's the extermination coming along?
Tatsuya: [Takes about whatever lands near him. Picks up two but throws away both until he spots a kerambit on the floor. With a slightly sadistic grin that doesn't have a place on a child's face, he weilds it on his right hand, while using the switchblade on the left. Orientation on open, he waits in anticipation of another attack.]
Richter: It's over, for now. <places back the flashions> Is everyone alr---alive?
Edward: Poorly. [Starring a the scattering balls, which hit his crows; gives August the 'You're insufferable look' And proceeds to wonder how their going to fix this ] - Alright, let's find out what caused that nasty incident, yeah?</lj-cut>

Bramble Origins RP Part 4

2011-11-03T16:18:27Z

[The bramble is still brambling and the vines are still raping. Guess who aren't doing their jobs?]

[Today however, it seems that the bramble has undergone somewhat of a diet. Its branches seem thinner, more responsive. More dangerous to your health.]

[But the vines have seemed to notice the bramble's newfound sexiness. Wrapping around its branches in a not too comfortable way.]

[The result? The bramble is now thrashing slightly. Sending shivers and minor earthquakes through the forest.]

[Mind giving it a hand?]

[Insert the fleeing yet again of innocent mammals and flying things.]
[The branches are quicker and stronger now, be careful~!]
August: Woah! Hey! What's going on? [Hastily packing up a half-filled thermos of Ovaltine] Arjun, you want the rest of the ham?
Arjun: You should eat more August! Mr.Edward said them branches are way stronger today, so you guys are gonna need loads of energy. Especially you since you're pretty thin looking.
*the branches from either side shake and rub against the trees to try to get the vines off of it*
*the trees are starting to buckle a bit from the force. the rubbing casts of some of the thorns however*
August: Okay, okay... [chomps on the ham and downs the rest of the Ovaltine, leaving a chocolate moustache] Hey, you think, the branches don't really like the vines either? Look over there... [Takes out swiss knife, unfolds the biggest blade, which isn't very big at all, and starts slashing at the vines, branch squeezed in between his neck and left shoulder]
*branch can feel the grip of the vines loosening. starts to move away from August then pins more of the vines against a treetrunk.*
Arjun: Pfft. [grins at the moustache. He turns over to the vines and retracts his large claws. He forces one vine loose from the branches and attempts to slice it. He seems to have minor difficulty in doing so, more than the other days.]

Hey they're pretty tough today. But look they're way less hostile then the other dies, it's almost like they're hugging the trees.
*vines start snaking towards the vine cutters. slithering on the ground till they get touchy with ankles*
August: Eurck. Nonononoogetawayfrommeee! [Stomping on the vines WITH MUCH VIGOR but trips backwards, continues stomping from the ground anyway]
Arjun: [simply retracts the claws on his feet and starts slicing them] August, why don't you use that cool magic stick of yours?
Arjun: Uh... [noticing him fidget around like a mouse] You want me to carry you or somethin' ? [laughs]
*bramble senses helpless thrashing and kicking on the ground. a branch lands between Arjun and August, pinning the offending vines on the ground*
*vines thrash from under the branch and try to pull themselves out from under it*
August: I-I might burn the forest... I thought it was okay, but it isn't... I didn't bring any small ignition spells...! [Still stomping away, then the branch falls on the vines] Woah, hey, we might have a friend here. Arjun, could I get on your shoulders? I could prepare some laser-fire-beams and take aim better.
Arjun: [continues slashing at the ,now incapacitated, vines hopefully stopping them. Turns to August when he feels the vines infront of them are now taken care of]
-Oh seriously ? Sure you can ! might get bumpy though. [crouches down]
*branches rub harder on the ground, trying to rip the vines apart with sheer force.*
Azazel: [on his phone, on the way, his hand. The other holding a rather large sword, approaching the scene] Yes, dad. I'm here. I know people have been getting raped, Mart's needing to Guidance councle more... Yes dad, I'll be fine....
*what about the vines behind them though?*

*a vine sneaks up to Arjun and pokes his shoulder*
August: Okay, okay! [Clamps himself onto Arjun's shoulders with his legs, then slashes at the vines behind Arjun, just deterring them than doing any real damage. He gets a stack of post-its and starts writing on them furiously with a black, red and blue mini sharpie] Hold on, got something here!
Arjun: Wahaha~ Take your time! [as he says this he's moving around trying to get rid of the vines coming at them, and shaking about while doing so]
*the vines recoil due to the slashing but then coil into a bundle then punch Arjun in the face when he turns around*
Azazel: [walking into the crowd moderatley surprised at how violent these things were getting, putting the mobile in his pocket. And weilding the huge-ass sword easily with two hands spotting August and Arjun? oh great it was those two weirdo's on campus..., he thinks before hacking away at the nearest vine]
*the vines sense another pesky hacker. while some of the vines distract Az, weaving and trying their best to avoid wide arcs of death, the other vines hide in the bushes, waiting to ambush*
Arjun: AUGH! [steps a few feet back in recoil but it doesn't make him loose his balance yet. He rubs his face with one hand and looks back at the vines oddly unfazed by the punch.] Haha, that's kinda cool! Plants where I come from don't do that!

[now he's on his guard, alert to sudden movements from the vines. He starts throwing quicker slices at the vines, moving around alot]
*the vines weave and duck, not minding the bramble branches too much as it's slower. they've had enough of being cut down and finally want something to grope and love.*
*the vines try to trip up Arjun*
Arjun: [jumps over the vines, but Augusts' weight when he lands makes him trip a little, almost making him loose his balance] Whoa! Y-You ok there buddy ? [to August]
August: Crapcrapcrap! You okay!? I'm good, good... Uh, a little more... and...! [The post-it he's just written on turns to ashes, while a small fire ignites a few inches from one of his palms] Okay, the laser's code is a little too long, gonna have to make do with this! [He starts handling the fire kinda like you would with a yoyo, his aim isn't stellar, but enough that he isn't burning the trees, but he's only really aiming for the vines away from them]
*sensing the vines lessening their grip on it, the bramble feels for the nearest cluster of the vines and wraps around them, tugging them off the ground and hauling them farther from Arjun and August*
*the vines which come in contact with the flame get singed then catch fire. the smell and smoke of burning plant drifts up to the treetops*
Arjun: [startled by the yo-yo fire] H-Hey c-careful with that ! [looks at the vines regress and directs his attention to the bramble branches, he crouches down and pets it amiably, ignoring the fact it has spikes on it, he's used to hugging Josephine after all]
Thanks for that Branch, that's really helpful. [smiles then stands back up. He points up to the vines]

Uh... want me to start climbing that, August ?
*when Arjun's attention is directed elsewhere, some vines use the patted branch as a springboard to jump onto August and tackle him to the ground*
August: Y-you sure you wanna climb that? And don't worry too much about the fire! It's not... way too dangerous! [Still doing his flame-yoyo exhibition, though with the fire visibly decreasing in size] A-aagh! [Gets tackled, then makes an audible thump on the floor, the yoyo-flame disappearing as he loses his concentration on it]
Arjun: [immediately turns around] WAUGH! [sinks his claws -both feet and hands into the vines pinning August down and attempts to rip them off of him using a considerable amount of strength.]
*hah! no more flame! the vines dogpile onto August*
Arjun: [ripping vines away as fast as he can -which is pretty fast-]
*branches around them try to help Arjun with the vine ripping*
*other vines snake to Arjun's ankles and with one swift pull, grab his ankles and forces the lion man off balance and try to drag him away from August*
Arjun: [plunges the claws of his left hand into the ground to stay where he is and scratches at the vines pulling him down, with his feet, one free arm and tries to rip some away with his teeth]
*the vines are getting more and more frustrated. But their numbers are thinning considerably.*

*to help Arjun, a branch wraps round his torso and pulls him up into the air, away from the vines*
August: AAAAHJDHBVJKADKHJSR [A post-it from the branch turns to ash while August's swiss knife blade discarded on the ground, extends into a saber, he continues to struggle with the dogpile of vines]
*August hears a whoosh as a branch knocks away the top of the vine dogpile, sending vines crashing into the bushes*
Arjun: TH-Thanks again! You're really on our side aren't you ? [pats it once again. He rushes back to August and holds his hand out to him to help him up] You ok there August ?
*for now, having enough of the raping back, the vines retreat to rape another day*
*branch likes the patting for some reason, feeling the vines, in this area at least, flee*
August: That was awesome! [Gets up, a little shaky from the ~loving~ beatdown. He strains and reaches to pick up the saber, then holds it like a broadsword due to his lack of strength, he straps the branch to the back of his belt] I'm good, thanks Arjun! So the thorns aren't really all that mean huh? Should we follow the thorns in?
*the branches rest peacefully where they lie, seemingly tired from the fighting. all around them though, they can feel the tremors of other vine vs bramble battles*
Arjun: [smiles] The branches are our friends, I can sense that they wanna help us! But I think they're in pain so we should return the favor by helping /them/ out as well. So yeah, if we destroy the vines around the branches we'll be doing our share.
[pause]
Do you have a hard time to use your magic or something? It seemed like it took a while to get something going. 'Cause If you use it at the same time i'm runnign around and attacking things, you can be like a sniper, or something.
August: I can do that, but... you think freezing them's okay? I got the best aim with that, but... the vines are part of the ecosystem, y'know? I can't kill all of them... unless it's okay, whaddya think?
Arjun: That might be best. If you freeze'em I can break them with my strength to be sure they're eliminated. Burning them runs the risk of the fire spreading around uncontrollably, and if that happens it'd be pretty bad for the animals that live in the area... and uh... for us to, yeah.
It ain't a problem to destroy the vines since they're a problem for the inhabitants of Ludus and they are dangerously overflooding the forest, as well.
*they start hearing loud headache-causing buzzing to the side*
August: [Face lights up in glee] Alright! I didn't know they were a pest! If I can just get on your shoulders ag--- Aaagh! [reflexively covers his ears, pinning the branch again inbetween his neck and shoulder]
*a small branch, tugs at the hem of August's shirt, trying to get his attention*
Arjun: [his ears are especially sensitive to high pitched noises and crouches down his hands covering his ears as hard as he can. He feels actual pain due to the high frequency of the sound] AAAAARRGGGHH!
*they can hear branches falling to the ground with a thud as the buzzing continues*
August: H-hey there, what d'you need? [Still clamping his ears shut]
*the little branch gestures to the source of the buzzing. when they look, the branches blocking their way retract and clear the way as if telling them to go there*
August: H-Here, you need it more than me [Pulls out his sound blocking wireless headphones then puts them on Arjun] C'mon Arjun, branches telling us to go over there... [Dragging Arjun by the hand once again, deeper into the forest]
Arjun: Mother of Sarjalim! M-MAKE IT STOP !! [really can't stand the noise. In sheer pain before he feels the headphones on his ears. He can still sense the sound but the pain is lessened making it more tolerable. He follows August his head spinning a little bit] TH-THANK YOU! [speaks abnormally loud because of the noise and because he has the headphones on]
Igor: *back to work at cutting down the branches. has headphones to cancle out the noise of his chainsaw. the branches seem weaker today than they were the day before. He's only on his 2nd chainsaw of the morning. sings tunelessly to himself* I ith working on tha grafeyard~ All tha lyf long theyyyy~

*the chainsaw digs into yet another segment of branch before he hops away again. another branch landing where he just stood. this brambleweed is retaliating to his annoyance.*
August: Just don't break them, Arjun! [Puts his hands down, getting used to the sound, damaging his ears all these years with blaring music actually helped, amazingly] Where are you taking us, your brambleness?
Arjun: [points to the man cutting down the branches] THAT GUY! TELL HIM TO STOP RIGHT AWAY, HE'S HURTING THE BRAMBLE!
*the brave little bramble points to Igor*
Igor: *as another branch smashes the ground where he just stood, whirls round in midair and cuts the branch off as well. he's pretty quick on his feet for one so small and fat*
August: Igor! IGOR STOP! [Tosses a rock at Igor]
Igor: *senses something flying towards him and quickly snatches the small rock in midair. landing gracefully on another uncut branch.*

*he stretches out his arm to the side and drops the rack to the side. he looks down at August* Yeth?
August: Don't hurt the bramble! It isn't killing us as long as we save it from the rape vines... You can chainsaw the vines, though.
Arjun: ... [can't hear much of what's going on]
Igor: *dances out of the way when another branch tries to knock him off. lifts one of his earphones up so that he can hear August better.* Come againth?
August: Chainsaw the vines, not the branches!!
Igor: *blinks* But thur, it ith my thuty to get rid of tha bramble ath well. *chops off another branch for emphasis*

Brambles: *have had enough and try to retreat deeper into the forest*
August: No! It's been helping us! It's not a bad bramble. Look, it's going away from you! At least, get rid of the vines first, we'll work on the bramble.
Igor: Tha vines belong ere, thur. Tha bramble doth not. *he looks around, eyeing the vines that are just on the outside of the clearing. He's been part of Ludus long enough for the vines to have learned to fear him.*

*Sides, he wasn't all that rapable. Detatchable limbs and ichor for blood and all.*
August: ... [Thinks for a while] C'mon, Igor, take a break for an hour, do it for me? [Boyish puppy kiddie smile]
Igor: *for an Igor: work > cute.* Thorry thur. Tha bramble hath to go. *follows the retreating branches*
[From the shadows lurks a figure, he's been staking out this place for days - hidden in the bushes. His body like a fleeting prescence. His cape flutters as his companion, a gray scottish fold has proceeded to chase butterflies below]

Caped Figure: [WHISPERED DRAMATIC MONOLOGUE, CHRISTIAN BALE BATMAN STYLE] Stood on Branches, watching. Whir of chainsaw better than music to ears. Watched people retaliate, felt clense - screams of students - suffocating. The Branches tear flesh and cloth. The branches tear the filth of the soul. Divided in opinions, the need to do something boils like pit in stomach. The branches will burn. [squints, and drops down from the branch, landing on his feet, making dramatic entrance]

Bramble Origins RP Part 3

2011-11-03T16:16:53Z

Megaphone: G-GGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MOR-NIN-NGGGGG STUDENTS. IT'S ANOTHER BRIGHT SUNNY BEAUTIFUL DAY AT LUDUS, AND GUESS WHAT? THOSE PESKY VINES STILL HAVEN'T BEEN DEALT WITH. THOSE OF YOU NOT-NOT INFORMED, THESE ARE RAPE VINES. YOUR VIRGINITY IS NOT THE RES-PON-SI-BILITY OF THE LUDUS CAMPUS. REPEAT AFTER ME, KIDS: RESPONSIBILITY.

GOOD LUCK STUDENTS!
REMEMBER, ALWAYS PRACTICE SAFE SEX!

[SCHOOL CHIME]
[To tempt certain students, a double rainbow, is cast above the now more violent bramble bush]
[The Naked Man of the East, runs about]
[The half naked lion man of the desert is running about the forest progressively destroying vines. Holler if you need him ]
Cameron: [has noticed that #rapevines has been trending on Ludus Twitter-Sphere, so he decides to pay a visit, skipping into the forest like the fairy princess he is] It's such a nice day out, surely nothing bad could happen.
Lavie: [at school.] ( Something, was very indecent about that announcement. What is wrong with this school's administration? What a terribly absurd charade.) [receives a text from her father that reads:
-Lavie, I heard about the bramble incident. Get out there, it's good shooting practice- ]
...

[Later-- Is now at the entrance of the forest fully equipped with a gun in hand and amunition for safe measure]

(... Why me ?) [irritated expression]
Cameron: [has constructured a psycholocial profile for the vines and has decided to make why the branches were acting this way, into a case. He cuts off a thorn from the vine, and puts it in a ziplock. Examining the vines with a small pocket-sized magnifying glass, when he hears Lavie's gun cock, he immediately jumps up] DON'T SHOOT ME GIDEON
Lavie: [She hadn't noticed that person.] (oh great, a man.) [she looks at him with a questionning expression. He didn't seem very strong and sorta scrawny as well.]

You are sorely mistaken, I am not him. [better she say something or this man might have a heart attack.] (idiot.)
Cameron: O-Oh. Geez! I have a friend that shoots me for fun, I forgot to wear my bullet-proof vest today, its' a tad discerning. [Walking up to her, holding out a hand and offers a trite smile] Cameron, and what lovely lady do I have the pleasure of meeting? [analyzing her reaction]Lavie: (At least he's polite.) [hesitates to shake his hand. She didn't usually do so to men. Decides against it, for now.]
Lavie. [straight to the point] If you know Gideon, then you must be a student as well. I assume you will be taking part in wiping the forest of these vines? [prepares her gun just in case]
Mikhail: [Wondering around the forest.] 'Where is everybody?' (Mikhail want to go back, play with cats more.)
Cameron: Ah, yes, spot on. I do know Gideon. [studying her briefly but then gives a smile] - I don't believe in violence, if we find out why they've got a stimulated sex drive in the first place, it might be easier for us control them no ~ instead of brute force? This is a puzzle intend to solve. [grinning] Military or Navy?
Lavie: That, i sincerely believe, would be a wasted effort. You can only spend so much time contemplating on what kind of a strategy to use before they get you. These are brainless monsters we're dealing with. [raises an eyebrow at his latter question]
Navy, but only an intern. [well the gun did make it pretty obvious.]
Cameron: Ah, I digress. They seem sentient, like there's a mind or a being behind them. Although the likeliness of that is low. Ah, that would explain how comfortable you are with arms. [smiling, noticing the English Accent but Chinese FEatures? Hong-Kong? Her stance was miliatry. Likes Guns, Obvious, Gardens, obvious. Hates men? Shot in the dark, but a shot he was willing to take? Hmm, he analyzed]
Lavie: Whatever they are, they're disrupting the peace of Ludus, ergo they need to be disposed of. That is what the school requested the students to do if I am not mistaken.
[takes a few steps ahead cautiously] Goodness me, how observant you are. [slightly condescending tone, referring to his observation.]
Cameron: Of course, I'm observant. It's not like I'm checking you out. [he blinks]
Lavie: [flinches slightly at that] What ?[pause] I didn't even suggest that you were. [the thought hadn't crossed her mind, oddly. And it usually would have.]
Cameron: Good. So now, you've gotten I'm not some sexual predator, I think we could be friends. [he smiles] So are the vines as lethal as they say?
Lavie: ...(Arrogant.)[slight irritation] You're awfully direct, and you're making assumptions about a person you've only just met. [well they weren't false.] How about you learn some manners before asking to be my friend? [hmphs.]

[Looks back at the forest that's seemingly starting to get a little agitated. Faint rumbling sounds can be heard]

It's best to assume the worst when faced with an enemy, i'm going to say that you should undoubtedly be on your guard if you venture into the forest. That, and you must be armed.
[ Suddenly The Grounds of Ludus becomes covered in a sheath of dark stormy clouds ]
[ Thunder Rumbling. A bolt of ligtning strikes through the clouds, across the double rainbow and hits a nearby vegetation plant causing an explosion]
Lavie: Wh-What the ? .... A storm ? [looks up at the sky] But there was nothing in the news about that.
[Hundreds of animals scutter about, terrified of the incredble impact the lightning bolt caused]
Cameron: I do have manners, but it wouldn't matter, you treat most men the same way - and don't hold them in high regard. Funny because there's a preceeding male-influence in your life, I'm guessing your father's military? You can't say, don't form assumptions, because that's the first thing you did, I just thought to return the favor. You didn't shake my hand, but from the calouses - and the way you preferd to grip your gun as opposed to my hand, suggest that the gun is familiar? Also you haven't put it down and nothings attacked us--- [he pauses mid way] - Woaah! Was that lighting. [Jumping practically, a bit scared]
[ As the smoke clears, A large crater can be seen, A body of an unconcious ten year old girl clothed in armor appears within the strike zone.]
[scattering happens in the forest, outside of the forest only rumbling sounds can be heard]
[ The Naked Man of the South SCREAMS at the sudden jolt of lighting ]
Lavie: [eyes widden at what Cameron says. It's all eerily correct. She starts thinking he is a supicious person and her esteem of him goes up but when he jumps childishly and the lighting it drops back down to what it was]
You're all talk. I will give it to you, that most of what you said is correct. [turns to the forest]

The forest seems agitated, something's not right... It's best not to waste any more time [starts to head into the direction of the forest]
[ The little girl stirs from her unconciousness, she awakens to the sound of screaming]
[ Dissoriented and dazed, the the little girl scans her surroundings...]
Mikhail: [Stops walking with a start at the sound of lightning.] BY RASPUTIN! Mikhail hope no one hurt, specially kittens. [With a worried expression on his face, runs off towards the sound, the trench coat fluttering on his sholder.]
Cameron: Forests? Really now? There's been a lightning bolt and look? It's not raining! Doesn't that strike you as a bit odd? [he frowns, the weaponless man, proceeds to head to where the lightning had struck]
[fazzed but inherent. the little girl starts shouting towards the sky (although with the booming voice of muscular man)]
Uhlric: YOU WILL NOT SEE THE LAST OF UHLRIC RAINIX!! THY THUNDA BOLTZ WILL STRIKE YOU ALL DOWN AND I WILL RECLAIM MY RIGHTEOUS PLACE AS KING of the MAN GODS!!!!
Lavie: ... Of course it's odd that's why i'm going in to check. [turns back to Cameron] Ugh, do you seriously not have any weapon on you ? Deplorable. You'd think that bringing a weapon for this kind of ordeal would be your first thought. [pauses] How good are you with guns?
[the girl continues: YOUR ARMIES WILL FALL, YOUR WIVES WILL BE RAPED AND YOUR SONS WILL BE SOLD INTO SLAVERY. NO ONE CHALLENGES MY ABOMINABLE WRAAAATAH!!!]
Uhlric: Now... where are thy weapons.......
Cameron: [shiftily] Terrible. Never touched a gun in my life. [seeing Uhrlic at the distance] - I-Is that a girl? Was she struck by lightning? [running towards her, faster, entirely reckless]
[Hearing the sound of lighting and a sudden explosion, Gunner rouses from his sleep] Gunner: AH! MASTER! I DIDN'T DO IT! Huh? Where am I? Hmmmm...[Gunner looks in the direction of the storm] Gunner: Ohhh that looks interesting....[Gunner stands up and moves towards the storm]
Mikhail: [Bursts into the clearing, and barely notices the massive crater the lightning has left in its wake.] 'ARE THE KITTENS ALRIGHT!?' [Stops to see that there are no kittens around, to his relief. he stares at the two people beside the crater, he does recognize the girl, but the frail little man beside her seems very familliar...] 'Komrad Cam-' [Mikhail slips and falls into the crater, unknowingly tacling the figure at its center.]
[ THE VINES ARE AWAKE ]
Uhlric: [Searches nearby and finds a precarious bag....]
Uhlric: aha! these will do......
[Gunner continues to chase the storm looking towards the sky and not forward. He trips of over his own leg and begins to roll forward like a boulder down a hill] Gunner: AHHHHH!!!!
Uhlric: (mutters to himself) Which realm Am I on..........

BAAH!! It does not matter. all will fall to the might, of the GOD KING.
Lavie: How useless can you b-- [He's already started running ahead.] ... You idiot! Don't run like that! the vines! They'll detect you quicker! [trying to catch up without moving around too much]
[Gunner continues to roll and crashed into a person carrying a gun]
Gunner: WAAHHH! OOOFF! Owwwiee......
[The vines wrap around Gunner's Leg, and attempt to crawl up his pants]
Uhlric: What is This!? (she sees people running about.) apparently this realm has inhabitants! [Uhlric mutters to herself: As expected, already these natives vy to worship me.]
[Uhlric walks towards the commotion that is happening within the vineyard]
Lavie: [ Gets crashed into and falls to the ground, she immediately sits up and turns around. notices the vines, Swiftly takes out her gun and starts shooting at it rapidly, it breaks. She stands up and starts shooting at it more. Paying no attention to the man on the floor]
Gunner: Huh? AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! NOOOOO! NOOOOOO!!!!! [Gunner starts to panic and grabs the leg of the person he rolled into] Gunner: HELP MEE!!!! PERVERTED VINE GOING IN PANTS!!!!!! I DON'T LIKE IT!!!!!
[The vines, start to wrap around and crawl up other peoples legs]
[ As uhlric walks outwards the crater a man of large stature tackles her down...]
Cameron: [hops away, dangling his foot, it looks like a bad dance move]
Uhlric: WHAAAT is this! someone DARES ATTACK ME!!
[Vine wraps' around Loli's foooot, proceeds to caress thigh]
Uhlric: I didn't know this realm houses the mighty FROST GIANTS!!!!
Lavie: [Kicks the groveling man in the face forcing him to leg go when she feels his hand on her leg. still continuing to shoot the vine attacking them, and others getting closer while doing this]... [pants when the vines in their immediate area seem to be more or less dispopsed of] There are lots of them. But they're not very smart.
Uhlric: Ughh! What trickery is this!? [she sees vines crawl up her greaves]
Cameron: [still dancing and hoping around, not armed so he's just sort of flailing.]
[Vines ensnare Cameron, dragging him to the ground, and tripping him]
Gunner: HELP ME! [In a panic, Gunner grabs the nearest stick and hits the vine with all his might, breaking the stick and vine, leaving a creater in the place he hit] Gunner: I DON'T LIKE VINES! [After freeing himself, Gunner runs behind the person with the gun]
[With reflexes as quick as lighting.......well a little girl.... (uhlric tries to kick away the vine)
[Vines pat Gunner's head awkwardly, kind of ruffling his hair]
[and with a sudden impact. Uhlric kicks the large man who is on top of her instead!]
Gunner: O_______O;;
[Vines: [fondle fondle]]
Lavie: [shoots the vines pestering Gunner] ... Can't you at least fight ?! [backs away when Gunner gets behind him]
[Vines: [try to inch up Lavie's skirt, sadface when they realise she has so many layers]]
[Gunner begins to cry when the vines start rufling his hair] Gunner: Uhhuhuhuhuhuh Q___Q
Gunner: Me? Fight? [At the thought of fighting, Gunner begins to cry harder] Gunner: Q_____Q
[Frustrated, Uhlric reaches for her satchel and pulls a foot long lighting bolt from it]
Lavie: [Stomps the vines and shoots at it. Lavie now looks almost enraged.] .... [Even though the vine is down she shoots it at least five times over]
Uhlric: Hehehehehehe this will do it. No one incurs MY POWER and gets away with it!!
Lavie: [to Gunner] Are you a student at Ludus, do you know /any/ magic ?
Gunner: What's a Ludus?
Mikhail: [On his belly.] 'Mikhail very sorry, crater's edge crumble beneath him.' [Feels someone poke him on the head, and gets up off, to his surprise, a little girl.] *picks her up.* 'What you doing here little girl?' *Takes the lightning bolt from her* 'no no no! that's danger!'
Uhlric: You Heathen! RETURN my Tezzaract Imediatley! or by Korn's name you will be Vaporized!!!!
Mikhail: [Throws the Bolt at the nearest tree, which promply explodes.] 'See?'
Lavie: If you're not a student then what /are/ you doing in this forest. Get out now. [thoroughly pissed off by the vines. Though Lavie isn't the 'rage' type. Her tone is much deeper and has an aura of anger to her. You can almost see the smoke coming out of her ears.]
Mikhail: [Frowns.] 'No.'
[ As Uhlric finds a way to deal with the frost giant, she takes notices of the vine.....]
[Gunner stops crying for a minute to ponder what is a Ludus]
Gunner: Ludus.....Ludus...... [ Just then there was an explosin that startled Gunner, prompting him to run in a random direction]
Gunner: AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! [Gunner begins to run and falls into a crater crashing into a tall well built man]
[The vines start to get more aggressive, now targeting your neither reigons]
Cameron: GET AWAAAAAAAAAAAAY. [HOpping looking like some weird Awkward Dancer]
Uhlric: ( With a grin) Heh! this long wrethed thing attempts to attack the mighty Uhlric eh! So BE IT!! I will bring out MY OWN long wretched thing!!!
Lavie: ... [gets out her gun and starts running ahead while shooting vines rapidly in her stride, jumping over them. ducking. rather agile.] (How in the chairman's name are we supposed to get rid of ALL of these vines ?)
Uhlric: [ She unzips her pants revealing A LONG BIG SNAK.........WAIT.... HOW COULD THIS BE!?!?!!? ) [UHLRIC FREEZES IN HORROR]
Uhlric: WHERE IS MY GREAT MIDGARD SERPENT!?
Uhlric: [ Still frozen in horror, she starts too look at her own body......]
Mikhail: [Feels a thud hit his back.] 'OOFF! careful!' [lets go of the little girl, and picks up Gunner by the ankle, hoisting him clear off the ground.] 'METAL MAN! you come just in time! PLANTS!' [Mikhail swings gunner overhead, and slams him on the approaching vines, with a splorch that makes Mikhail smile.] 'You very handy!'
Uhlric: [Raises her fist in the air. and shout...] CURSES WHAT SORCERY IS THIS!!!?!!!?
shouts*
Gunner: Uggghhh....Oh you're.....wait....did you just call me metal? Wait no! Please! I - I - I brusie like a peach!!!! Put me down please!!!
Uhlric: [She calms herself down, and mutters to herself....] it seems I'm i a shell of somesort
[Vines start to head in Uhlric's and Lavie's directions respectively. They like women : D ]
Cameron: uhm, Magic. Magic School. Expelliarmus! Okay Nil~ [trying to punch the vines back, but ends up getting pinned to the floor] I d-I didn't think I would loose my virginity like this!
[As Uhlric attempts to figure out what has happened to her, the vines proceed to get more, "Handsy"]
Lavie: [ Shoots the vines that pinned Cameron down. Has her back turned to the ones coming her way ] Why did you come to the forest if you don't know how to fight ?! USELESS. SERVILE. COCKROACH. [says this to the beat of her shooting]
Uhlric: Fine then.... [ Uhlric Speaks to the frost giant.] You there! the one who withheld me of my lightning bolts!
Mikhail: [Sees the vines that are about to attack the girl with a gun.] 'LADYYY!!' [Prepares himself to swing Gunner again, but the man has clung onto the dirt. His hand slips of Gunner's ankle.]
Uhlric: Join me in the TOTAL ANNHILATION of these puny vines!!!
Gunner: NOOOOO! I'm scared! NOOOO!!!! [In panic of being used as a weapon, Gunner grabs part of the ground wand flips a portion of the dirt burrying some of the vines] Gunner: NOOOOO!!!!! [Gunner feels like he's been released and looks around. He sees he's alone and starts to cower in fear]
Cameron: [rolling, trying to break free] It's an investigation! There's something a miss with these vines! [Standing up and Breaking Free from them] - There should be a reason why they're sentient!
[Vines: 8 D [crawling up the loli's legs. fondle fondle]]]
[Vines: Rub against Lavie and Mikhail's backs]
Mikhail: [Hears the proposition of the girl, which sounds strangely like a full grown, burly man.] 'DA!!' [Picks her up, and starts to run out of the crater, leaving the vines behind.] 'TO HIGHER GROUND!!' [As he runs out of the crater, he pcks up the battle axe the girl has failed to lift.]
Uhlric: [ Vines causes her to trip and fall. In retaliation, she pulls out a battle axe, and attempts to lift it. Unfortunatley.... it is too heavy] Uhlric HOWLS IN FRUSTRATION.
Lavie: .... You are willing to put your life on the line because of some INVESTIGATION? You idiotic-- [a vine grabs onto Lavie's gun wrist] !! [lets go of the gun. Immediately tries to grab hold of the other one she has.]
Cameron: I do a lot of stupid things, to prove I'm clever! [he retorts, taking a photo of the situation with his Blackberry, hopefully that will give him a random pattern on the vines movement]
Gunner: NOOOO!!! I don't wanna be left alone!!!!!
[A vine manages to grab his scarf, and tug down at the floor]

Cameron: [too focused on the investigatiion, picking up dirt samples for future refrence, and falling to the floor again]
[Gunner starts to run around in circles hoping to get somewhere]
[Vine Trips Gunner]
Uhlric: [The frost giant apparently hears the throes of frustration. and picks up Uhlric!]
Mikhail: [Shouts behind him, halfway up the crater.] 'GET MOVE ON METAL MAN!'
Cameron: [yelling] Not, chuffed, not chuffed to bits at all ! [gathering more dirt in his ziplock as the vines proceed to ensnare him]
Gunner: OOOFFF!! Why do I keep falling. Huh? [Gunner looks back and sees more vines] Gunner: NOT AGAIN!!!!!
Lavie: [ her shooting arm being restrained, she grabs onto her other gun and continues to try and force herself free of the vines, other ones grab her leg an start crawling upwards. Lavie is having a hard time aiming with her right hand.]
Gunner: Huh? [Gunner heeds the advice of the russian and runs like his ass was on fire]
Uhlric: [ Uhlric takes notice of the surrounding people who are fighting the same enemy as her. and asks the frost giant] FROST GIANT!! who are the names of these fellow warriors!!
Cameron: [struggling squirming again, refusing to take off the scarf. BReaking off thorns with his fingers and shoving them into his ziplock pouch] N--need. EVI.Dence.
Uhlric:[ Mutters to the frost giant ] AHHH... the thrill of battle!! after this! let us bath ourselves with the sweet Virgnity of countless wenches!!!
Lavie: [ shoots at the vine holding her left arm, and narrowly misses the first shot. Tries to nail the second one, it works, a few more, some missing some hitting, in the meantime the vine crawling up her leg starts to go up even more] ACKKK.... !!
Mikhail: [Shakes his head.] 'Mikhail does not know! survive this, we find out!' [Reaching the top of the crater, Mikhail puts the girl down, and helps Gunner out of the crater, panting.] 'Frost giant not Mikhail's name!' [lifting gunner out of the crater.] 'Mikhail's name Mikhail!' [Mikhail considers this, how he longs to see dozens of beautiful women.] 'Mikhail will hold you to that little girl!'
Gunner: Hi I'm Gunner. [Gunner extends his hand]
Cameron: [mufflesname, under blanket of vines] Mmkprin-mffse Camsdemdfferon
Uhlric: [ Notices a boy covered in vines] Ahh greetings warrior cameron!
Lavie: [manages to break the vine holding her hand and immediately transfers the gun to her left hand and starts VIOLENTLY shooting at it] DIE YOU WRETCHED DIABOLICAL BEINGS! [she mad. Ttly over killing the vine]
Mikhail: [Picking up the battle axe, he starts to hack away at the burning vines.]"Thank you little girl!" [Sees Cameron.] "KOMRAD KAMERON! Mikhail knew it was you!!"[Helps Cameron up.]
Uhlric: [quickly, uhlric pulls out a flaming botle out of her napsack and tosses it at the flaming vines that wrap themselves around the young man that is named cameron]
vines* not flaming*
[A blonde man in his early 20s, dressed in business attire and a brown leather messenger bag, only /seemingly/ familiar to Cameron, lies unconscious behind a bush]
now the vines are flaming hahahah*
[Gunner seeing the flame] Gunner: Ohhhhh, it's so bright.......
Cameron: [getting realesed, rolling in dirt - yet again and finally getting up. Out of breath. His shirt, is hitched above his waist, and he looks a bit traumatised, then he noticed the Russian] - -Ah, Agent ThundraWolf! We meet in battle again. How was Osama Bin laden's Capture? I heard the Spetsnaz was successful.
Uhlric:[ Uhlric rushes to the man named Camera-On and attempt to communicate with him]
Uhlric: You there! Puny man! do you wish to join us in our mighty war against these rabid elementals!!
[points at camera-on]
Cameron: Not particularly, Wow. Your puberty sounds so terrible. [noticing the girls voice] Ah yes, you were the one struck by lightning, no?
[Gunner moves closer to the flame and crouches to observe it] Gunner: Preeetty....
Lavie: ... [huffing at the branch which is now erratidicated. Her bun is messed up and her hair is messy. She looks extremely agitated, (and red)]
Mikhail: [Picks up Cameron in a bear hug.] 'DA! Mikhail wish Kameron was there to join in festivities! River of vodka that night!' [Smiles]
Uhlric: So be it young camera-on. [Uhlric yells a battle cry] Hear me, you elements! Hear me, storms! Rise up in your wrath! I will noth die this day and you shall carry thy to my destiny! Strike now! And fire this holy mound!
Mikhail: [Seeing Lavie in trouble, Drops Cameron.] 'But we shall leave the festivities for later, LADYY!!' [Picks up the fallen battle axe, and rushes over to her aid, the axe glints as it passes through a nearby vine.]
[he awakens slowly. his first action is to flip off the bushes. "fuck you!" he shouts. alas, his energy runs low, and he falls back to unconsciousness]
[Gunner gets to close and the sleeves of his coat hanging from his hands catch fire] Gunner: OOOoooooo......wait. AHHHH!!! [Gunner runs towards Mikhail in a panic] Gunner: MIKHAIL! HELP ME!!!
Lavie: [she turns her head and looks as though she has an almost killer intent in her eyes. ] ... [it's almost as if she has a dark aura surrounding her] WHAT ?
Uhlric: [Sees this girl with her faced covered in red.] Uhlric moves to her and attamepts to question her as Camera on had been questioned.
Cameron: [getting slightly woozy from the hug, Damn Mikhail could crush ribs! He's actually seen him do it. Falls to the floor] OOPH. [he hears a tiny 'fuck you' and looks around] S-SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT BE BURIED IN THE VINES. [searching]
Lavie: If you can't be helpful in some way. Don't talk to me. Cockroach. [terrible mood]
Uhlric: [Notices a terrible aura that is coming from the girl with a face of red.....]
[Gunner runs, once again too paniced to watch where he's going and crashes into Mikhail] Gunner: AAAAHHHH! OOF!
[Somewhere, in a relatively peaceful part of the forest stands a polar bear who still continues to consult with his ~*~very useful map~*~.]

Rowlf: Hmm. [scans through the map and then looks up at the tree in front of him. He places a paw on it.] So this one here's a Fitzroya. [smiles as he is continually amused and amazed at the different types of trees growing in this forest.]
Uhlric: Hear me, Celestial!( Uhlric speaks to the girl with the red face) For too long hast thou stood above all life in thy arrogance! 'Tis time thou wert reduced in stature! AND 'TIS THOR WHO SHALL SEE TO THE TASK!!! HOO HAAAH!!!
Cameron: [looking, noticing everything going absolutely chaotic, can't seem to find the body anywhere, so he turns his attention to the crowd. One of them is on fire, the other one is being - strange, and the other one his former colleague. Things were weird]
Lavie: Children should be seen not heard. Silence yourself this instant.[not red anymore] (that is a pretty manly voice for a little girl)
Mikhail: [Falls flat on the ground with Gunner on top of him.] 'Gah! METAL MAN! you on fire!' [Gives Gunner a big hug, and starts rolling on the ground. The flames on Gunner die out.] 'You ok Komrad?' [Gets up, Helping Gunner to his feet as well.]
Cameron: [spying Lavie's gun on the floor, making a Dash for it before the vines can, grabbing it. Knowing Exactly how to grip it, using one hand to shooting it with ease at the air above] C-COULD EVERYONE CALM DOWN FOR A MOMENT.
[Gunner's view begins to spin. He can't tell what is up or down and can't hold his head in place properly due to dizziness. His head just falls off his neck with a pop when the world stops spinning] Gunner: Not on fire at least.....uwaaaaa (@o@) ,V,,
Foolishness!!! I offer you thy MERCY and you withhold yourselves from it!! Very well girl with the face that is no longer RED. I wil end your misery now and begone of you!!!

[Uhlric Pulls out another powered lightning bolt and attempts to Vaporize her. Unfortunatley the lightning bolt fissle's out and implodes, causeing Uhlric to be hurled into another area.......(Lavie is unharmed)
Uhlric: [ flies across the horizon and lands on top of an unconcious man......]
[Gunner's body stand on it's feet with Mikhails help. It turns around and pick up Gunner and attaches him with a poping sound] Gunner: Ughhhh....[Gunner hears the gunshot and quickly, almost instinctively ducks and covers his head] Gunner: AHHHHH!!!!
Formerly Unconscious man: [the shock wakes him up] Ugh.... [he opens his eyes] ... cute. You remind me of a little girl I knew. Geek as well. Never stooped so low as to cosplay though...
Lavie: [flinches when she hears the gunshot and turns over to see Cameron holding her gun. She immediately makes her way to him and snatches the gun out of his hand violently.] You used /my/ gun without permission /and/ you lied to me.
[twitching angrily. Her anger is only aggravating]
FUM (formerly unconscious man): Now could you please get off of me? You're cute and all, but you're not my type. I have a friend though that's into girls of your... size.
Cameron: Ahrlight. Okay - The girl there's in shock, look at how low her voice has gone, in-shock. She needs medical attention. Her sanity and lack there of is obviously the results of the lightning strike hitting a logical part of her brain. [tossing the gun back at Lavie's direction, clearly did not enjoy having to shoot one]
Mikhail: [Running Cameron.] 'KOMRAD! Be careful with that!' [Picks Cameron up again in a bear hug.] 'Mikhail glad to see you!'
Uhlric: [Slowly winced due to the shock from thy thunderbolts) [notices the blond man who threw her aside] You there adventurer!! many have ignored my call to battle maybe you would agree to join the ranks of Valhala!!!
Blonde guy: Whatever ~kawaii kawaii desu desu Arthas-chan~ or whatever awful name you call yourself. Now what the bloody fuck do you- [he notices the bush] Fuck that, yeah? We need to kill that thing? It- ... you don't want to know... [scratches butt]
Cameron: [getting Squished] Its good too see you again~ [huggggu desu] Ah - I notice, new weapons? I didn't think the Spetsnaz now issued Battle Axes. How was operation Chicken Exploding Revolution? Who was on forensics? Paul I'd expect? Did you pull of a code 'Raspberry'?
Uhlric: [ she shakes her head with discontentment] ,Another who refuses salvation.... The trouble with godhood is that it robs you of your finer judgment! And that is why we will never be the same. PITY though you could have been a mighty fighter, but in the end, you are only a selfish creature while people like her (points to everyone in the vicinity) have an infinite capacity for stupidity! Thus are legends born!
[The gun that Cameron tossed misfires once it hits the ground. Gunner hears this and panics even more] Gunner: EEEEKKKK! No No NOOOO! [Gunner raises his right arm while still covering his head. His hand protrudes from his sleeve and a marking can be seen on it. Gunner shouts at the top of his voice.] Gunner: I DON'T LIKE THIS!!!!! [The markings on Gunner's hand begins to glow an ominous red light]
Mikhail: [Putting down Cameron.] 'They don't, but Spetsnaz teach Mikhail how to use one when situaton needs it.' [Throws the battle axe at the nearest tree, as if to demonstrate a point, its blade sinks into the trunk. He turns back to Cameron.] 'It went very well Komrad! We caught the terrorist, aka Flaming Puyol, before he could have made the second checkpoint.' [Smiles.] 'Da, Paul was incharge of forensics, and no, it good thing situation not call for 'Raspberry'.' [Wiping his brow.]
Cameron: [pulling apart] Good on you soldier, not having to resort to Genocide! I've always hated violence.I hope you - Oh dear, is his hand glowing red? Mikhail it seems to be a code Fourty Seven Dash B- Twenty Two. Perhaps we should take cover!
[From the glowing Red Hand, the vines shrink away, and the Earth Trembles under it]
[The sky blackens, and from under the red hand, the ground quakes]
Mikhail: [Notices Gunner's glowing red arm.] 'BY RASPUTIN!' [Jumps behind the nearest, and biggest, form of cover and calls to Cameron.] 'KOMRAD KAMERON!'
Gunner: I don't like this, I don't like this, I don't like this, I don't like this, I DON'T LIKE THIS!!!!
[From the dark skies, a giant ball of fire appears]
Cameron: W-WHAT IN - WHAT THE! [cowering under Mikhail]
[The ball of fire comes closer and closer and Gunner continues to cower oblivious to what's happening]
Mikhail: [Notices Cameron.] 'There you are, Komrad!'
Gunner: I don---Haaaa.....haaaaa....ACKCHOO! [Gunner sneezes and the skies clear, the earth halts, and the ball of fire dissapears in an instant]
[From the sky a small, smoking, pebble falls infront of Gunner] Gunner: Haaa....Hmmm? Where'd this come from? [ Gunner puts his hand back in his oversized sleeve and the light dissappears]
Cameron: -[creeping out from Under Mikhail] W-what was that?
Mikhail: [Eyes widen.] 'WHERE. DID. BALL. OF. FIRE. GO!?' [He Climbs out of cover, trailing Cameron.]
Blonde guy: [Stands up, pushing Uhlric away] Ok, Neko Loli Arthas-tan. uh... thou hast got me with thine words. I beseech thine help. The only way to defeat this cursed creature is to remove thine trousers in front of him! [ponts at Cameron]
Uhlric: Sooo be IT!! puny mortal
Uhlric: I SHALL DEFEATH THY BEASTS WITHOUT MY ARNAMENTS!!!! [removes clothes] Aha! much better!!!
Blonde guy: Now go! [still pointing at Cameron] He is the servant of the vine, my liege. He holds the key to defeating the foul thing, but pretends to be our ally
Uhlric: [Grabs battle axe from satchel] So be it! Thou hast forced me to unleash the most terrifying MAN GOD power of all! A power which once hurled back ZYNCH, the World-eater, and e'en gave pause to an almighty Celestial! I must call forth the god-force which flows within my veins -- and unite it with the irresistible power of mine enchanted TESSARACT! And the God of MAN shall become one with the AXE supreme! Let the Juggernaut FALL!
Cameron: W-woah. What the bloody blazes is going on! [getting out, examining the sky, notcing Gunner] Did you just re-attach your limbs? Is that some form of reannimation? [brilliant idea] If I could reannimate corpses -- they'd be able to tell me how they died! [blinking] Does it just reattach?
Gunner: Huh? Who are you?
Cameron: [holding out his hand, if Gunner were to shake it, he fully intends to run away with it] - Nickolai Mezzanotte, ate your service. [smiling]
Cameron: [eyes sparkling imagining all the experiments]
Gunner: Oh hi, my name's Gunner. [As Gunner stands up to shake Cameron's hand, he trips over his leg and falls on Cameron]
Cameron: OOOF! [falling to the floor, and trying to Yank Gunner's hands free, he attempts to run]
Uhlric: [Uhlric ventures out. clothless and dissapears into the wonder brush of rapevines.....]
Gunner: Ooff! Wha--Hey! Don't do that I need my arms!
Cameron: So do I! [running through, attempting an escape, tripping on vine]
[Gunner stands up and chases Cameron and catches up with him] Gunner: You shouldn't do that. It's not good to take other peo---Oh look a vine......uh...oh.....[Gunner picks up his arm and attaches it. He slowly begins to back away]
Blonde guy: ... Idiot. [looks at the others]... sorry. plural. idiots... so we got an emo faggot, a faggot, a guy that thinks avril lavigne in camo fatigue is still cool... and that WoW cosplayer. Fuck. this is about as bad as that mall I went to in the Philippines.
[Gunner begins to run away as fast as he can] Gunner: I really REALLY don't like these vines!!!
Blonde guy: Hmm... purple girl... [checks Lavie out] eh... over color combination. defines stiff behavior. purple. probably delusional with majesty. Soooo not my type.
Lavie: [after a few minutes of mental meditation attempting to calm herself down. repeating over in her head not to shoot people she hears the voice of the blonde man and looks over to him with a death glare, the hand holding her gun trembling heavily as she seriously contemplates justified murder.]

(... I still need to become a navy. I still need to become a navy. Keep calm. Think of flowers. Buttercups. Lilllies. -- R31 PLUMP ACTION SHOTGUN... Chamomiles....Coreopsis)
Lavie: (...Hawthorn... Dogwood...) [her tempter starts cooling down. She seems to look a little relieved. And promptly fixes her rather messy hair, and dusts herself off. She stands up straight and reloads her gun] ... Better.

Bramble Origins RP Part 2

2011-11-03T16:15:00Z

*the surrounding people feel yet another surge of static before the megaphone flies away*

Gideon: ................................ bloody fuck
[Gunner continues to chase his head through the forest. His cranium stops on a rock with a load thud followed by some whimperring and crying. Gunners body pick up his missing part, brushes off the leaves and twings in his hair and attaches it with a pop sound] Gunner: Ha...that was terrible but atleast it's over. [Just then Gunner hears the announcement made by the person on the megaphone] Gunner: Oh dear. I've got to go back to the scary man with sharp pointy things. [Gunner runs back in the direction he came tripping over a root of a tree as he goes]
Gideon: *sighs and prepares to use his weapons for any present threat* better get out as soon as I can
[Gunner feels a light caress on his cheek <3]
Gunner: Ack! [Gunner feels a cold chil run down his back. In a panic he pick up a nearby rock and throws it in the direction of the foreign, un wanted movement. He throws the rock with such force, it tore right through the forest detroying whatever is in it's path] Gunner: DO. NOT. WANT. EVER!!!!!!!!! [The trees and plant life in the rocks way was obiliterated into dust, there was now a straight clearing in the forest. Gunner opens his eyes to see the destruction before him.] Gunner: Hey look a path opened up! I wonder why I didn't see this before? Oh well if it gets me to those faster then all the better! [Gunner begins to run down the path that "opened" before him]
[the vines shrink away as Gunner prances out]
Gideon: *tossing a grenade up and down* acidic or blast...
[Just as Gideon was pondering how to get rid of the perverted vegitation, something knocks him down and falls on him. It was Gunner.]
Gunner: OOF! Ouch, what did I land on? AH! [Gunner gets off Gideon as fast as he could]
Gunner: I'm so sorry! I was running away and I tripped over my own foot! I'm sorry. Please don't hurt me. I break easily...[Gunner lifts his head off his neck to demonstrate that he's breakable] see? [Gunner places his head back and offers a hand to the man lying on the floor] Gunner: Are you alright?
[G feels something creeping up his backside]
[the vines look up and see Gunner. Y hello thar handsome.]
Gideon: *takes out his knife and swipes from behind and jumps away* goddammit why!?
Gunner: AHHHHHHH! [Gunner runs behind Gideon and begins to cower behind him] Gunner: I'm sorry! Please save me! That plant is going to eat me in more ways than one!
Gideon: the hell!? who the fuck are you!? *throws a blast grenade infront of them*
[please watch out for the shrubbery as well, the thorns are not a good place to land on]

Vines: *start surrounding their prey but not yet touching them*
Gunner: Oh how rude of me, I'm Gunner. [Gunner looks around] Gunner: Ahhhhahahh I think we're in trouble.....[Gunner continues to hide behind Gideon]
Gideon: Tch! *loads his guns with the special shells* how fast can ya run?
Gunner: Oh I'm quite fast..[Looks at the threatening vines stalking them] Gunner: Even faster when I'm scared......[Gunner begins to whimper]
Vines: *drop down from the branches right behind them so they can't escape from there. forward and deeper into the forest looks like a much better prospect of freedom*
Gideon: good, dont fall behind then *tosses a another grenade infront of them followed by another to clear a path* run
Vines: *shriek and burn and shrink away from the explosion. some try to make them stumble as they run or lead them right into dense thorny shrubbery. careful, you might get dead-ended*
[Gunner hearing the word begins to run as fast as he can, faster than he's ever gone and screamed louder than ever. He really dosen't like those vines] Gunner: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zaldun: [within the sight of chaos, she wields her mighty.... pie. and bites it.]
Gideon: *was running like gunner minus the screaming* ~I refuse to get molested again!!!!!~ *shot and sliced any vines that got in the way*
Vines behind them: *pursue lovingly <3*
Gideon: *while running* so whats yer name? *decides to save his bullets for later and uses his knives*
Gunner [While running]: My name is Gunner! I'm a homunculus! I don't like perverted plants!!
[right in front of them, a bunch of flying puffer fish fly right towards them]
Gunner[Running]: AH! Puffer fish! Aww they're kinda cute...DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!
[it is a well known fact that a self defense mechanism of flying pufferfish is flying towards the enemy and exploding]
Gideon: AWW HELL!!! *tosses another grenade and when it reaches the center or the swarm he shoots it making it explode* names Gideon, assassin, I also hate perverted plants!!!
[needles]
Gideon: *tackles Gunner out of the way*
[As Gunner and Gideon fall out of harms way...] Gunner: NOOOooooo...the fishies....
Zaldun: [takes a bite of magic ice cream while thinking of hot men] ~~
Gideon: HOLY SHIT JUST HOW DANGEROUS IS THIS PLACE!?
Gunner: Poor fishies......
Gideon: it'll be poor us if we dont get out of here.
Gunner:.....right.....Let's move on....there's pleanty other fish in the ....sky.
[fate taking pity on the both of them, they see the forest starting to thin out in front of them]
Gunner: Oh look another clearing! How lucky!
[from a nearby bush in front of them, a friendly kitty pads out and miaos]
Gunner: Awww a kitty!
Gideon: *stops Gunner* we better be careful, I dont exactly want to walk in a bloody tra- OI GUNNER!!! *too late*
Kitty: *makes its way to Gunner* <3
Gunner: Yay! It likes me. It's a good thing we're not in Ludus forest or else I'd be in.....oh....wait.........oh no. [Gunner leaps to Gideon] Gunner: SHE'S GONNA EAT ME!!!!!!!
Kitty: *seems to grin at Gunner*
Gideon: *facepalms* fanfuckingtastic *makes his way to Gunner to help*
[all around them, latin chanting is heard]
[more kitties peek out from the trees]
Gideon: should not have gotten out of bed this morning *sighs* oi Gunner do ya have any abilities that could probably help us?
Gunner: SHE'S GONNA EAT ME! [Gunner picks up a tree with ease and tosses it towards the kitten but misses. He continues to run behind Gideon]
Gideon: O______________O holy dang!
Kittens: *miao in unison and skuttle towards them*
Gideon: Gunner... you do realize you just uprooted a tree right?
Gunner: I did what?
Gideon: you just uprooted a tree and tossed it at them -_____-U
Kitten: *jumps onto G's shoulder from a branch and snuggles against his cheek*
Gideon: *calmly pets it with his left hand*
Gunner: Me? No way I can't throw a tree, I can bearly lift a kettle but there is someone around here who can! Is he around? AH! [Points to Gideons shoulder]
Kitten: *licks the hand before a human hand emerges from its mouth and tries to strangle G's neck*
Gideon: *crushes kitty with his left hand and tosses it aside*
Kittens around them: *hisses and spit at them. more kittens start dropping down from the branches*
Gunner: Wow you're strong. [Gunner looks behind him] Gunner: Hey who can throw a tree?! He can help us!
Gideon: you can goddammit! *sighs*
Gunner: I can do what? AHHHH! MORE KITTIES!!!
August: [Still munching on magic ice cream, thinking of pancakes and eggs. Awww yeah.] So, lady, ma'am, teacher. What'd you prefer me to call you? I'm August Antoine, part-time tutor. [Has had his fill, he swings the branch of magic, resulting in another Post-It! note turning to ash, but his hands are now freshly sterilized and totally clean.]
Gideon: Gunner forgive me but this is just to test it out *picks up Gunner easily and throws him at the center of the moster kittens*
Gunner: Huh? Hey wha---AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! [Gunner flies through the air. He notices he's about to land among the cats] Gunner: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kittens: *pounce on Gunner, heads separating from their bodies so that hands and tentacles can come out*
Gideon: ah well there goes that idea -_____-U Hang on Gunner *makes his way to the Homunculus to help*
[As the tentacles grab Gunner his eye roll into the back of his head. He grows silent and begins to froth at the mouth]
Zaldun: [blushy and sweaty] mh~... so -eh~ good... Huh? Oh right! heh~ [Fixes self] Names Zaldun. Skip the last name. It's not important. You can call me whatever you want really.
Gideon: *stomp, slash, crack. Still making his way to Gunner*
[Just then Gunner's body glows blue. The light fades and gunner is covered in armor]
Kittens: *jump onto G's back*
Gunner: Defensive mode activeted. Locked on to targets. Begining attack procedures. [Gunner lands on the ground with a loud thud. He pauses for a moment and realizes something is wrong] Gunner: Condition: Critical. Conmencement of attack procudures, suspended. Begining hybernation mode. [Gunner falls to the ground while the armor still covers him. The kittens cannot destroy his armor making safe but still unable to move]
Gideon: FUCK! *immediately takes off his trenchcoat and begins blasting away, ones the last one is dead he quickly picks it up*dammit and I just got this a few weeks ago! *looks towards Gunner* ah dammit!
August: Not a very feminine-sounding name, in where I'm from anyway. Should we get to work, Zaldun? I can hear some students in there and I don't want some /student/ getting the prize. [Before running off into the forest, gets a pile of Post-It! notes from his back pocket, quickly scribbles a line of code in binary, then sticks it on the ice cream container. Same spell as earlier, set to activate when someone starts munching.] Might wanna leave that for that gentleman polar bear over there, shall we? [Runs straight into the forest following the voices, testing different methods of effective plant removal on the way, ranging from WeedBGone, freezing, cutting them up and just giving them a firm stepping on.]
Gideon: .... fuck *decides to take the risk and tosses another blast grenade where Gunner was*
Zaldun: But we just aaaaatttteee.... I might get appendicitis, and that huuuuuuuurrrrrrrts... [pouty 3/4 view face with right middle finger in mouth and ice cream all over it.]
[The blast was intense, all living creatures surrounding Gunner was now dead. All that was left was a pit, some burn marks, the smell of blood and gore, and Gunner who has reverted back but has passed out. His mouth is still covered with froth]
Zaldun: [still warm, sweaty, and blushy]
Gideon: *imediately runs toward Gunner and carries him like a sack of potatoes and quickly gets out of the area, shooting, blasting and kicking the kittens from hell away*
[somewhere, someone is taking down notes on the damage caused to the forest itself. puts it on the fleeing student's tab]
August: [Arrives at the former patch of forest where Gideon and Gunner were, where August assumes, they were having a plant destruction party.]Woah! Hey! Weren't we supposed to preserve the forest? If I were your teacher, you'd be a point below passing! [Runs after Gideon and Gunner.]
???: [A little further ahead of where Gunner and Gideon were headed off to, multiple sounds of slashing can be heard. Further in front of them, several vines appear to be obliterated in an instant. A silhouette appears out of the breach in the vines and a humanoid, rather fit half naked man who appears to have a white fur cape on his back comes leaping out but directly plumets himself towards both Gunner and Gideon, crashing into them rather clumsily. ] WAUGH!
Gideon: AUGH!!!!!!
August: [Distracted by vines and shrubbery here and there, he runs straight into the Gideon-Gunner-Arjun pile, promptly tripping and falling on them.] Oof! What the hell! Don't just stop! [Gets off, shoulders his branch, then helps up the other two.]
Mikhail: [Wakes with a start, under a massive tree.] Where... is... Mikhail? *grunts* must be chemical resistance test again, yebatsya, Mikhail hate soviet scientist [gets up uneasily, noticing that theres a trench coat slung over his right shoulder, and pinned to it a note.] what? [He removes the note and starts to open it, noticing the smell of lavender] *reading aloud* "Velcome to Ludus, Mikhail Czar, (yes, i know your name, it was on your fatigues) and I hope you enjoy your stay! I took the liverty of patching you up and returning you to help the others. With respect, Lord Behemodo" [with a questionable look on his face, he looks under the coat] BY RASPUTIN. [He barely has time to contemplate, when he hears the resounding thud of two people running into each other]Mikhail might be needed [and runs of towards the sound]
Gideon: th-thanks... ow *checks to see if Gunner was alright as well. Still out cold it seemed*
???: [Gets up immediately and his ears twitch happily, a tail noticeably pops out and swings around carelessly] HEY! PEOPLE! [unnecissarily loud] WAHAHA~ Pleased to meet'cha all, did that Edward guy also ask you to clear out the forest? [looks rather happy despite having plowed brutally into a total of three people]
Gideon: um no, just got a notice from the school, said the students had ta help with clearing the stuff
August: Hi! [Looking up, waving the branch to get Arjun's attention.] And no, I'm a tutor here, they kinda just forced us, 'go and clean the forest!' Are you... some kinda dog...? Actually, are you a student here?
Gunner[sleep talking]: I can't eat anymore......no no....not he big needle.....don't eat me........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Gideon @ Gunner: -______-U
August: Are you seriously... wearing shades in a forest? [Waves branch back and forth in front of Gideon.]
Gideon: yeah, got nightvision anyway so my sunglasses arent much of a problem
Mikhail: [walking out between two trees, addressing the group] Da, Mikhail meet this Edvard, took away Mikhail's gun [frowns at the thought, then smiles, saluting the group, clicking his heels together] Mikhail Czar, 23rd Russian Special Forces.
Gideon: .... ya work for the Spetsnaz?
Mikhail: Da komrad, Vympel,15 years, before Mikhail being assigned to Cold War Science Unit for development of new transportation technology [points to the sky] portal Mikhail felled out of.
Rowlf: .... [He watches as the young man holding the branch run off, leaving only the female knight and that wonderful smelling butternut squash ice cream. But is it truly made of butternut squash? He walks closer, smiling meekly at the female knight, his expression that of someone asking permission to have some of that delectable icecream. He is about to ask for some when he remembers what he's here for. He should be working! Not eating butternut squash ice cream!

He shakes his head quickly and nods once. He gives another smile at the knight.] My apologies for simply gawking at you ma'am. I cannot help but smell the ice cream you have in your possession so I was drawn to this spot. I'd like to have some but I figured I'll focus on the task at hand for now. My sincerest apologies for having disrupted your meal. [He forces himself to ignore the smell and go on his way. As he left the clearing, he looks at his map once again, consulting with it. He nods a few times, as if he understands where he's standing. He walks a few steps to his left and touches another tree with his paw.] So this one here's a Sequoia. Hmm. I wonder how many types of trees are there in this forest.
August: Nightvision? Does it really work like that? So do you see in green? [Genuinely asking this question.]
Gideon: black and white
???: [He frown upsetedly at August] I ain't no dog, you should recognize a white lion when ya see one [snaps his rather large teeth at him, in a joking fashion. He turns to Gideon] "Night vision" hey, that's pretty darn cool. I bet it comes in pretty handy. [pause] Oh right, Edward sent me here to do somethin' uh... Appart from wipe out the vines ... But i can't really remember what... [rubs his temples]
... [Decides not to spend much more time thinking, it generally hurts him to do it for to long]
I'M ARJUN [tail wagging happily]
Gideon: *tries not to wince at the volume of his tone, he was thankful he didnt have any of his hightened senses activated* er nice to meet ya, the names Gideon
August: Y-you're like a dog!? So how do you coordinate your clothes in the morning?! Do you get someone to do it for you or... or... [Takes a step back from Arjun's snapping, but as he introduces himself, he doesn't seem to be... too dangerous.] Hi Arjun! I'm August! I think we have to clean up the forest, take out the thorny stuff, it's great you're helping! [Pats Arjun on his head]
Gideon: they should have warned the student about the kittens from hell then and the rape vines *he sighs*
Arjun: [Doesn't really understand Augusts' head pat. He wonders if it wasn't just a way for people in this place to greet eachother. Doesn't really know what to do so just pats August back on the head] Wull Hi August, great to meet'cha ! And I'm glad I could be of service an' all. [pats Gideon's head] Happy to meet ya as well Gideon. [at the mention of the rabid kittens his ears twitch]
Want me to help you take them out? [grins confidently]
Saori: [Looks inquisitively at the forest’s entrance, finding the thorns to be quite imposing. Armed with a knife engraved fancifully in odd runes and a large yellow orb, it was obviously way too decorated to be actually practical.]

[But it was really the only thing she had that could slash things. Hitting branches with her arrows would take far too much time. So taking a deep breath, she trudged on, making sure to hack off the spikes before proceeding.]
Gideon: -____-U er please dont pat me on the head
????: [A masked figure, in a black and cyan body suit, sits upon a higher branch, watching them scurry about. His cape flutters in the wind behind him, as his sharp eyes focus on the crowd. He knows the risks of being seen on broad daylight but the chairman had mentioned trouble, and where ever trouble went, he would follow. His voice is horser now, as he talks to his companion in harsh whispers] Ashbringing what do you make of the situation? [growl]

Ashbringing: [is a kitty in a mask] Meow.
August: I can't believe you're having a problem with /kittens/, Gideon. [Swings the branch, suddenly catnip everywhere. A Post-it! note turns to ash.] Simply problem, simple solution!
Gideon: *raises an eyebrow* did you ever see what they look like when they're about to in fer the kill? ............ *slowly backs away at the catnip and prepares to run*
[a cat head pokes out of the bushes]
Kitty: *miaos*
Arjun: WHAT IS-- [ As he catches a large wiff of the catnip his ears jolt up and so do his tail. The hairs on the back of his mane stand up and he suddenly turns beat red all of a sudden. For some reason he seems incredibly out of it. ] M-Mwrroooooowwwrrrrr.... [seems very drowsy]
Gideon: oh crap *looks over at Arjun*
August: See! Look at that! Any cat, big or small can't resist! [Turns his head to see a cat in the bushes, kneels down and pats the ground in front of him] C'mere kitty kitty kitty...
[more kitty heads peek out of the bushes and seem to smile at August]
Kitty: *comes out of the bush and goes to August*
Gideon: Au-August I think we should run now *readyning his gun*
Rowlf: [continues walking around, occasionally slashing at the vines creeping around him. It gets slightly annoying when it wraps its tendrils around his legs, spreading out ever so carefully. He stops for now and plops down, opening his satchel and bringing out a submarine sandwich and begins eating it. While chewing, he looks at his ~*very useful map*~ and scans the area from where he's seated. Subconsciously understanding that this map isn't very useful at all, he scribbles notes about the trees he's encountered so far.]
Arjun: [The cat nip is more or less spread on the ground around him. He places himself in the crunched up sleeping position he usually does and seems very happy, Arjun is now immobile]
Gunner: [smells the catnip] Ahhh smells like cereal........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Gideon: ........... I hate my life
August: Oh... that's... [Remembers his run-in with kittens in his first few terms in Ludus.] A lot... [Waves the branch, conjuring a cat-buffet, an endless bowl of milk, dozens of balls of twine and enough Whiskas to feed every stray cat in the world. Th-th-they better be happy with this... [A good number of Post-it! notes burn off the branch] Hey there you... c'mere... [Still coaxing the single kitten]
[more kittens coome out of the bushes and start snuggling against everyone]
Saori: [It took a while (and a whole lot of slashing—to the point that her knife wielding arm was feeling extremely sore) but she finally made it to a clearing. Someone, or something, had been there before and left it quite devastated. Thorns and vines were cut, scattered limply on the floor. And an uprooted tree was carelessly cast aside, crushing whatever used to sprout in its resting place.]

Well this looks… quite dangerous. [Taking out a piece of paper from her jacket’s side pocket, she silently read its contents] The note didn’t say anything about danger though.

[Suddenly feeling anxious at the clearing’s state, she decided to backtrack and hopefully find someone who could help explain what exactly was happening. At least backtracking meant not having to cut any more vines.]
August: [Whispering] Gideon, I'm frail and weak, can you carry Kimba out of here?
Kitten: *comes closer to August and miaos*
Gideon: will you be alright then?
August: I can manage, I didn't graduate from here for nothing. [Wink wink wink at Gideon] Hey there... hesitantly puts down a hand towards the single kitten]
[some kittens do get curious about the toys and food and try them]
Arjun: Heeeeey Youuu guuyysssssss ~ [appears to be reffering and talking directly to the cats] Man aren't these humans like... super cool an' stuff. [nods] Yeaaaahhh.... You know I bet we could get loads more'a this stuff if we raided the pantries...
Gideon: alright *picks up Arjun and carries him on his free shoulder* August do something ta shut his trap!
Kittens: *perk up at Arjun*
Gideon: fuck....
August's Kitten: *hops into his palm and licks it*
Arjun: Hnnn ... ? Aww, yeah, If you guys're like, nice an' stuff we can like totally agree that they give us like, all that ... uh ... whatever this white stuff is.
August: Hey... you little kitten... [shoulders his branch, then holds the kitten by the area where a mother cat holds them when they're being naughty] You. Don't attack people okay? [Srs face is srs]
Kitten: *looks at august and miaos*
Gideon: screw it *drags them out of the clearing and did not want to stay there for more than another minute*
[kittens are calm and so ttly not bent on killing you all]
Gideon: *is still scared of them please*
August: [Plan: Get Kittens Fuckin' High ~*SUCCESS*~ mental fistpump] If you behave, I'll bring you along, okayyy?
[Saori sees flying rainbow puffer fish fly by]
Arjun: [wiggles out of Gideon's grasp] Alright you guys, promise me you'll be ,like, all nice an' stuff until we're done here .... [growls slightly] Cause like if ya don't yer gonna have to answer to big brother Arjun, okaaaaaaay ~?
[Puppies approach Rowlf]
Arjun: And theen i'll get y'all somma this awesome stuff.
[kittens cant understand a word from August but do understand Arjun. so they listen to the cracked up big white kitty]
Gideon: *back in the forest, and out of breathe, he puts Gunner down by a tree* I do not like cats *collapses*
Arjun: ... Uuhhh [looks at August lazily and smiles] Did that, like, help an'all ?
August: Well... That looked... vaguely like an understanding. [Plops the kitten into his hood, along with a small serving of catnip] That. Helped. /Beautifully/. [Walks towards the stoned Arjun, deliberately stomping on every vine, aggressive or not, offers a hand to Arjun] Let's get to work?
Arjun: [holds onto August's hand and follows him like a child follows a parent] Hehe, I did good.
August: Okay so... [Takes out the ~*outstandingly helpful map*~, nods as if he understands, which he doesn't, then simply follows the path where the thorned plants get thicker. He pockets the map, pets the little devil in his hood, then trudges on] Yep, Arjun, you did goooood!
Rowlf: [smells something new in the area and immediately notices the puppies approaching him. He looks at them quizzically, opening his mouth slowly and tossing the last bit of his submarine sandwich in it.]
Saori: [Halfway done backtracking, until a rainbow puffer fish conveniently passed by. It wasn’t enough that a puffer fish was actually FLYING. In air. It just had to have such a pretty colored body too. Now she was successfully distracted from her mission of returning to the entrance and more focused on trying to find out more about this flying, air-breathing fish.]

Well aren't you pretty… [Follows, finding the glimmer it produced from what little sun filtered through to be very attractive.]
Mikhail: [Stands in the middle of a massive white circle, where dozens of kittens are playing happily amongst the yarn balls, drinking milk form saucers that don't seem to empty, and eating cat-food like kings. He watches and wonders where the two men, the boy and the particularly happy white lion went off to. He also wonders why there are a good amount of kittens adorning his person, and how three managed to get up on his head.]

*smiles*

[Gently setting down each kitten, he makes sure to give each one a pat on the head before sending it off to play. He hears a scratching sound coming from under the trench coat slung over his right shoulder, and with a great booming voice, he laughs.] *Reaching into the coat with his left hand* come to Mikhail... [He withdraws his hand, holding two kittens by the scruff of their necks, and sets them down on the ground, crouching as he does.] *Pats the kittens on the head* Naughty little ones, no one gets to play with new toy before Mikhail. [He smiles again, and stands up straight, stretches a bit before striding away in the direction of the group.]

Mikhail beginning to like this, Ludus.

[Mikhail strides out of sight into the forest.]
????: [he had been watching, against the tree trunks, observing. Cape fluttering behind him. He jumps from the tall branch back to the ground. Coordinated enough to the that. His feline companion, already there, purred up and cuddle his right ofcombat boots. His voice is forcibly horse (think Rorshach)] - My companion wishes to partake in the festivities. [insert intimidating squint here]

Bramble Origins RP Part 1

2011-11-03T15:46:04Z

*** BRAMBLE BUSH RP ***

[Welcome to Ludus Forest]

[home to many creatures such as the household minotaur to the fearsome kitten]
[It's early, morning, the Flying Squirrels are chirpping and clouds linger above, casting the space into a soft-shade. It had rained the previous night, so things are a bit damp.]
Flying Squirrels: [chirp chirrrrp]
[the huzzagumps and the flabalumps scurry up to the their leafy nests. the schmeldigoors and the lafaloors stare in fearless rest. But a catching sight, the crealite, wisps and wanes away. It hums and zooms with smokey plumes as it does all the day.]
[also the Naked Man of the North trots by]
The Naked Man: [Refuses to be clothed and prefers hiding amongst the bushes]
[he enjoys ABBA and Barbara Streisand]
[The occasional cigar and discovering other uses to shoelaces apart from the obvious]
[Damp and misty. A thick miasma permiates the Ludus forest. Just on the outskirts, small tendrils poke out from under the roots of the bordering shrubbery. As the morning awakens however, the miasma draws back, revieling the huge branches and tendrils of thorns wrapped around every tree and bush of the forest.

The branches are thick, hard and rough. big enough to stand on and explore. The thorns however, sharp as swords and bigger than hands.

Make what you will out of this.]
Edward: [The Australian, curly red hair cut short and striking green eyes, in a Man-Kimono that ended just a little below his rather hairy knees, is attempting to strike down a rather suspicious looking shrubbery with a rusted, bloody axe] Shifuckensunovabitch
[Flocks of elephant birds fly across, whilst a lone cheetah lizard, away from its pack, stares at you intently]
[triple rainbow with one of them upside down all the way!!!]
Edward: {hacks at the branches] these are some weird ass fucking branches, must be Seufranian or some shit
[they're just Japanese]
Naked Man of the North: [INAPPROPRIATELY climbs up shrubbery]
[Prisilla walks to the forest grounds early in the morning she could have swore she have seen her brother somewhere in this place, since it rained last night, the ground starts too frost as she wanders into the forest, She should have worn her scarf today]
Naked Man of the North: [eyes lock-on to the little snow child, nakedly]
Priscilla: sighs... I wonder if my brother is really here in this... strange... place.... [She starts to look around and spotted a man at the shruberry...] Maybe he knows where my brother is...
[the bush shakes, allowing the Naked Man of the North to fall in.]
[moans are heard]
[meows too]
Edward: [looks passively at the man falling in, gives a rather obvious shrug, raises his axe, until he notices the little girl, he faces her, his Man-Kimono is undoubtably stained with blood] Oi, Shiela. Where you off too? You best be careful now. [a hushed whisper] There are kittens around these parts.
Priscilla: [rushes at the man who just falled, to see if he is okay, until another strange man shows up] Oh... Good Morning Mister... Well I was going to see my Brother.. so I could bring him cakes and wine... Kittens? isnt wolves more dangerous?
Edward: Wolves, hunt in packs but have you dealt with a full on Kitten-Litter? nasty stuff that is. Ain't that a bit little red riding hood much?
[Meows can be heard once more]
Priscilla: but how can kittens be scary.... Mmm... I dont think so... My step mom said it would be nice... to bring gifts... if I found my brother...
[a kitten scurries out of the bramble bush right below Edward. It attempts to cuddle his ankles.]
Edward: [hacks its head off with an Axe] See, nothing to it. You got to kill them early though.

Kitten: [its dicapitated head rolls on the floor]
Priscilla: *screams of terror* How... How Could you do that... SHe was snuggling you!!! QAQ
[spider legs start plopping out of the hitten's head as the jaw rips apart slowly. the mouth reveals a human hand. the head jumps to grab Edward's throat.]
[spikes grow on the back of the body whilst tentacles grow where the neck used to lie. the tail grows longer and a face appears on it. it cackles wildly and aggressively]
Tail Head Thingy: [hisses] Lorem ipsum... dolor sit amet, consectetur [hiss] adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod... t-tempor incididunt ut labore [sigh] et dolore magna aliqua...~~ [hiss]
[Suddenly, in the distance, several meows and purrs can be heard. The sound gets closer and among them a voice can be heard]
???: HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMEONE! ANYONE! AN AUSTRALIAN PERSON WITH AN AXE WOULD DO TOO!!!!!!
Priscilla: *realizes the danger* Bad Kitty!!! [she tries to help the man infront of her but could not reach the evil kitty head, She prayed that her method would not back fire and kill the man.... but she removed her jacket, and a gust of cold air surround the area freezing the moist forest ground as snow starts fall around her, SHe forms a snowball and throws it to the evil cat head]
Edward: [Getting strangled by the Thing, trying to claw it out with his bare hands]
Tail Head Thingy: Ut... enim ad minim... veniam, quis [sigh] nostrud [A pentagram writen in purple flame appears under edward] exercitation ullamco laboris... nisi ut aliquip e-ex ea commodo consequat- [kitten gets hit by snowball; knocked unconscious]
Priscilla:[ puts back her coat, and rushes to the man] Mister!!! are you okay? You were right the kittens here are like demons!!!
Edward: [TERRIBLE JAPANESE ACCENT GO] NISU SAVE, KURRRU. [Grabbing a dagger from the sewed on pockets of his Kimono - not they're suppoused to have pockets and cuts his palm, letting blood drip down. Using his fingers to doodle a sigil]

FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL THOU CAME AND THY HAST RETURN. [Fog Clouds around him, he thrusts a fist into the ground, The Kitten lets out an ear-piercing scream]
Gideon: *sighs and walks around the forest* what the fuck is a bramble anyway?
Edward: I'm fine Shiela but didja hear that scream? Is some else here?
[the man being chased falls over and notices the two standing infront of him. the lanky man scurries to Edwards leg and clings on to him] ???: H-h-elp! They're almost here! They're gonna eat me!
???: Please don't let them eat me! I'm too pathetic to eat! Really! Look! [the lets go of Edwards leg and with one hand pulls off his index finger and lifts it up for Edward to have a better look at the finger] See?
Edward: [threatening look] Did you know the last thing that happened to something that clinged on my leg?
???: Huh?
Edward: Now what the fuck are you on about, Ladd? [hearty chuckle] Don't tell me you've seen a playcore.
Priscilla @ Edward: Mister do something!!! I cant fight them off... since you maybe affected as well!!
Gideon: what the hell is up with all the screaming? *reading the map of the forest while walking*
[the lanky man lets go and points in the direction he was running from] That. [Closing in are 2 kittens]
[and a gerbil]
???: OH GOD HERE THEY COME! [the lanky man quicky stands up and hides in fear behind Edward all the while whimpering like an injured puppy]
[The map does not do much help. it's just a drawing of lots of trees, and a legend in the bottom left corner, saying what type of tree each symbol stands for. there's also a map compass in the upper right corner, saying that Gideon is holding the map the correct way. It is signed "Topography by the Headmaster"]
[The map has a long dedication at the back with a rather large list of names, Azazel is one of them, and the notes: "TO MY FAMILY, WITH LOVE: DADDY"]
Gideon: goddammit *he folds the map and sighs heavily*
[Gideon now has knowledge that the tree in front of him is a yew]
Priscilla: * runs behind the man* Mister protect us!!!
???: what she said!
Gideon: *sighs* might as well get a better view of my surroundings *climbs said tree*
[The kittens slowly strut to the group, as kittens would. A deep purr, a gentle tail swift. The gerbil spits out acorns.]
[Gideon hears a buzzing sound from nearby along with some slightly toothless humming]

Igor: *hum hum dumpty dum. hacks at the infernal branch with his chainsaw*
Gideon: ... I-Igor?
[As he climbs, Gideon notices that the bush spans the height of the tree as well. Flying pufferfish take nest on the tree. His climb doesn't do much, but across the distance to the east, light can be seen]
Igor: *can't hear him due to the buzzing of the saw. cheerfully de-thorns the brambles he encounters to at least make it a bit "safer"*
Edward: [Runs towards the mob of little woodland creatures and kicks the Kitten as one would do a soccerball. He proceeds to produce a knife and go STABITY STABITY STAB STAB]
Gideon: goddamn, magical forest much? AGH! *swings a bit to dodge falling branches*
[the kitties go on a mindless demonic rampage as their predecessors, however the gerbil dies and releases a visible moe gerbil spirit that wishes to haunt Edward, constantly asking "why did you do it, mister?" in a sad poor little american boy accent]
Edward: [hacks at them with his now even bloodier Axe, which he strikes against the things so hard, it flies out of his hands, and right near Gideon's feet]
Igor: *keeps on cutting what he can down. then he pauses and stops cutting, looking at his chainsaw. he sighs. the saw is blunt. it's already the 5th one today.* Oh well.

*nonchalantly throws the chainsaw away and grabs his spare on on his back to continue his work. He'll have to go back to the garden shed soon for some more saws.*
???: OH DEAR GOD! Don't eat me! [the lanky man grabs a nearby tree, rips it off it's roots and throws it in the direction of the demonic feline]
[he then hides behind Precilla, again cowering and shaking like a leaf in autumn]
Edward: IGOOOOOOOORRRR.[belows as he stabs kittens] DO I HEAR YOU WASTING MONEY OVER THERE.
Gideon: OI! IGOR! WATCH WHERE YOU- OH CRAP *dodges chainsaw*
Gerbil Spirit: Why did you do it, Mister? Huh? Huh? Why did you kill me? Why did you kill me, Mister? I'm not black. Why did you do it? Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Why? Huh? Huh? Why did you do it, Mister?
Igor: Hmmm? *stops sawing and turns around* Oh. Mithter Grigorri. Plathant day today, ithen't it? *he smiles cheerfully at him.*
Gerbil Spirit: Answer me, Mister. Answer. Answer quickly. Mister, why did you kill me? Why did you do it? Why? Mister? Mister? Hey. Hey, Mister. Tell me why did you kill me, Mister. Tell me.
Edward: Back of the line. [he gestures to a line of spirits who are neatly filed and asking him the same thing]
Priscilla @ ???: Mister your strong!!!
???: Huh?? [looks the displaced tree] WOWWIE! Who threw that tree???
Gerbil Spirit: Why did you kill me? I don't like you. You killed me. The you're not answering me. I don't like you at all. You killed me. You killer. Mister, Mister. Why? Why? Why? No I will not go to the back of the line. Oh! There's my uncle Ted! Hi Uncle Ted! Uncle Ted! Come over here! Ooh! Aunt Louisa too! And little Germaine, and Melissa, and Augury, and Danforth, and Remy, and Yvonne, and Latoya, and Schmidt, and Roger, and Aunt Louisa... oh wait!

Gerbil Spirits [plural]: [Collective whiney noises]
Gideon: *jumps up beside Igor* er yeah anyway what the hell are ya doing here?
Priscilla: You just tossed that big tree like you were just playing with my dolls
???: Who did?
Edward: [Getting more blood, sees Gideon] Oi. Lad in the shades. Toss me a weapon would you?
Priscilla: You did Mister!!! You are very strong!!
???: What did I do? [Sees displaced tree again] OH WOW! Who can throw a tree?
Gideon: *looks down and see's Edward* eh? why?
Priscilla: *facepalms* The magical fruity rainbow unicorn did it......
[magical fruity rainbow unicorn zooms through the sky in all its wonder. it disappears as it goes past the horizon]
???: Magical unicorn? HERE? But they're not native here.....wait are they? [sees dead kitten] EEEKKK!! W-w-who would do such a horrible thing to such a cute animal??? Oh hi there little girl, I'm Gunner.
[Suddenly the very space above Ludus warps and folds as a manhole sized portal appears overhead]
Priscilla: Yes.... they are now... [sees the unicorn]My name is Priscilla, Mister Gunner are you serious... You were cowering at them a min ute ago....
Gunner: B-b-but, they're cute and fluffy. If they weren't evil, muderous, the spawn of every vile atrocity to befoul this planet of ours, I think they'd make good house pets.
[the wormhole ebbs like a puddle of water for a few moments before a body suddenly falls from it, breaking the tranquil equilibrium.]
[Gunner get closer to the kittens corpse and breathes in some fun floating in the air] Gunner: Oh---Oh no! AAAaaaa AAAAAaaaa AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Gunner: Oh oh man! ACHO! ACHOOO! AAAAACCCCKKKKCHOOO! Uhhh
Igor: Oh. I thappothed ta get rid o thith weed. *motions at his chainsaw and the destroyed chainsaws around them* I dont want to be dethroid tho. Tho I'm makin it tamer forth now. *smiles at G*

*hears Edward* Oh mithter Edward! Fanthy meeting youth today ath well!
Edward: [had taken too apologizing to every single Girble and exocising them]
[the bulky body of a russian soldier hits the ground with a thud that would make anyone wince]
???: Yebatsya!
Priscilla : Mister you have a cold *grabs her ice cold handkerchief and gives it to gunner* here mister use mine..
[Suddenly a vine crawls up the leg of the Russian]
Gunner: Oh thank you and it's not a cold it's a-----AAA-----AAAAAAAAKKKKKKCHOOO! [As Gunner sneezes his head flies off his neck with a pop and falls with a thud infront of him] Gunner: OW! Ohh that's gonna leave a mark.
[Inches its way upwards, curls up around his knees. Similarly it happens to Gideon, A vine grabbing hold of Gideon's right wrist]
Priscilla: *gasps* Mister gunnner your head!!!! i..it... fell.... Mister your kinda cool
???: Shto? [looks at his leg] Govno! Mikhail did not see this on application form. .
Gideon: *rips vine off with his left hand* goddamn I never thought I'd have ta deal with these again
[Vine at Gideon's Ankle]
Igor: Would youth like thome elp, thur Gideon? *not noticing the vines wrapping around his stubby legs as well*
[Mikhail pulls out the pistol from his chest webbing an takes a shot at the vine, which blows into pulp]
[Vine attempting to Crawl up Edward Legs, with the Kimono in tact, it takes a few seconds, and it slinks away scared. You are now safe to assume the fake-Samurai is in Fundoshi]
Gideon: *sighs* no thanks *takes out his gun and blows the vine of*
Gunner: Oh thank you, and it help with the allergies. Now then [as Gunner steps forward and reaches for his head he accidently kicks it and it rolls forward a bit] Gunner: Ow! [he tries again but strikes his disembodied cranium with his other foot and it begins to roll forward] Gunner: OW! [Gunner start to chase his head but keeps kicking it forward. As Gunner keeps attempting, he fails and soon begins to chase his head into the forest saying "ow" all the while]
[Mikhail tries to aim the pistol at the vines wrapped around igor's legs but cannot get a clear shot, his vision still swimming from the recent wormhole jump]
Igor: Oh. Alrighth. *notices finally the fresh vines and saws them off*
[Heavy steps tremble the floor. Something of large mass is approaching]
Edward: [frowning at Igor using the Chainsaw, running up, dodging vines best of his ability, slashing them off with a knife, attempts to grab the chainsaw in Igor's hands and attempts to break it in half]
Edward: [handing him a knife] use this, it's cheaper.
Igor: *sadface*
Priscilla: *tries to follow Gunner but lost him, She looks around her surroundings looking if anyone is near*Sigh...., Im alone again...
Igor: *gets the knife anyway* Th-thank youth, thur. *n-not sure what to make of this*
Mikhail: [grunts as he gets up, pulling out the machine gun and ammo belts slung around him] Mikhail dont know who you are, but a enemy of my friend is a . . . . well you friends of mikhail for the moment, but please explain where the hell Mikhail is
[a knight (?) clad in black shimmering armor approaches. it reminds you of a fortress, or a wall. it removes its helmet, revealing the face of a beautiful, brown haired, soft-faced maiden]
Edward: [noticing the Russian had used a gun] DO YOU WISH TO PICK UP YOUR SHELLS, MISTER?
Mikhail: [noticing the bloddy patch on his right shoulder] and what happened to mikhail's arm
Zaldun: Igor! Ed! You guys are seriously not done yet? Fuck you guys. I'm eating snacks.
Gideon: *was wondering which Russian the man was talking to*
Mikhail: AS LONG AS THESE THINGS ARE TRYING THO GET TO MIKHAIL, YES
Edward: Zald, do you mind lending us your butter knife, for a bit? We have a shrubbery problem. The boss says to bring him the shrubbery
[She sits down, quaking the ground a bit and sparking it with lights of purple and green. She pulls out a roast turkey, and starts eating it.]
Mikhail: what is shruvery?
Zaldun: Ugh... Hijo de Merde... fine.
Igor: Oh. Miss Zaldun. Wonderful to thee you thoo today ath well. *hacks at the encroaching vines with the knife. it's too tiny for Igor's liking. He sadfaces again.*
Edward: [has decided to pick up the bullet shells wasted by both Gideon and Mikhail, its cheaper]
Mikhail: [promply pumps the vines reaching for igor's legs with a burst form his heafty gun, causing the man to jump] Mikhail make them go boom
Mikhail: [smiles]
Igor: *tries to dance out of the way of the bullets* Wha! *says to Mikhail* Watch where youth are thooting, thur! People could geth hurt!
Mikhail: [pokes edward with a meaty finger as the gun dangles from his left shoulder] who you? and what you do with shells?
Mikhail: dont worry, Mikhail know what he do [smiles at igor]
Edward: [stands up] Edward Suzrou. [taking Mikhails gun from his hand, and replacing it with a set of keys] Use that, it's cheaper.
Gideon: OI! Gimme back my shells dammit!
Igor: Ethcuth me thurs. I thall leave to get thome more equipmenth. *waddles towards the shadows and vanishes into them*
Zaldun: Hold up. [She holds the turkey in her mouth in an aggresive bite as the gravy drips down her pearlescent skin. She reaches into her bag a small crystal. She closes her fists. Clouds darrken and gather in swirls on top of her as lightning and thunder rage across the broken sky. Lightning, purple of hue, stikes her grasp as the crystal transforms into a greatsword of dark aura. it is embedded "Germany-Solingen™" She throws it carelessly as it pierces the ground inches away from Igor's foot.]
Zaldun: There. [munch munch]
Mikhail: [extremely perplexed at what edward did] explain. [his eyes narrowing on the keys]
Zaldun: Oh right... Cheapo... Here. Ed. [She throws a similar greatsword. this one says "Made in China"]
Igor: *stops in his tracks and looks at Zaldun* Yeth, Mith Zaldun?
Edward: You see. [Unloading the guns magazines] You yunguns put so little effort into killing things these days. S'too easy and too expensive with a gun. D'you know how valuable magazines are? Each bullet is like the coast of a life, so its pretty fuckin expensive. Which is why, to make the coast of life cheaper, you gotta kill them in ways thats free. I gave Igor over there ma knife, so you'll have to settle for the keys
Edward: 'seasy, You just stab their eye, widden their mouth and --- [continues describing clever uses for keys]
Zaldun: There's my help. Now hurry along. I'm missing Gossip Girl because of you.
Igor: Oh. *looks at the greatsword* Th-thank youth. *tries to pick it up*
Mikhail: [tries to listen intently at what edward is saying but his vision begins to blur, he clenches his hand around the bloody patch where his left arm used to be and falls to his knees] ugh. Mikhail should pay attention to body more [Mikhail starts to break out in a cold sweat as his breaths become shorter and faster] anyone know how to fix Mikhail?
Edward: Wounds heal over time, do you know how expensive hospitals are. Self-Diagnose, it's cheaper
Edward: Ah, I believe I hear the sounds of money being spent. [leaves scene abruptly, leaving the gun down, taking the keys back but keeping the magazine. as well as all the little shells]
[As Mikhail asks for help, a great dragon-chihuahua, the size of a horse, leaps from the bushes and runs for Mikhail, forcng him to mount it. They ride off]
Zaldun: Interesting...
Zaldun: This turkey has more dark meat!
Mikhail: Motha russia is gonna laugh at Mikhail. . .[faints]
Igor: *the greatsword being too heavy and unwieldy, he turns back to Zaldun: I thall be right back. *walks into the shadow of the great sword and dissapears from there*
Zaldun: Alright... BRING ME BACK A COKE! THANKS EEG!
[Arrives at Zaldun's clearing, branch in tow, in a simple, generic high schooler's hoodie and tighter-than-usual jeans, he walks casually, invitation-slash-request-slash-extermination-letter in hand.]

August: So... Intelligent vines? Awesome. I could totally use these for my hydro plantation for energy... But... for now. [He sighs, and reluctantly waves his ~branch of magic~, upon closer inspection has Post-it! notes of various colors tied and/or hanging around it.] Remove all the topsoil and turn it into subsoil! [As he does this, the vines should suddenly lose their vigor due to the lack of nutrients.] Hello there, woman-in-scary-armor-eating-turkey-in-gravy, are you perchance a student of Ludus?
Zaldun: [munches on turkey] I'm a teacher. I'm guessing you're the wierd one people have been talking about. August? You new?
August: Relatively, fresh graduate! [Takes a low bow in a burst of overenthusiasm] Teacher? What subject? I didn't quite catch you. I did my thesis on raw magic, I don't recall if you were part of my panel...
Zaldun: Mmm... You know, I'm not really sure. Subject assignment must have gotten mixed up with the bills. There's just so much... reading and math... and... opening envelopes...

You look nice. You remind me of some guy I was to meet some time back. Cockblocked by an Italian douche. He was a good kisser though... among other things... [mind obviously floats away]

Ah... I'm Zaldun by the way. You may call me Zal. Turkey's almost done, but I've got some ice cream. Care to join me?
August: Ice cream? Yes!... If that's alright with you. I've got a spell to transmogrify it to whatever flavor you think of, wanna give it a try? [Sits next to Zaldun, giving appropriate space, not once setting down the branch.] Italian douche, huh? Doesn't sound like anyone I know... [Takes note to invent a spell akin to a dictionary.]
Zaldun: Eh... probably not important. Well, alright. Let's give it a shot.
August: Alright! [Waves the ~branch of magic~, anyone within a 5-meter radius within August will now taste whatever is on their mind, no matter what they eat. A Post-It! note on his branch burns to ashes.] So do I have to eat with my hands, or do you have a bowl? I've never eaten ice cream with my hands, I kinda hope you don't have a bowl.
Zaldun: No bowl. It was on the top counter. Eating with our hand sounds fun. Messy. but fun. I have spoons though if you'd like.
August: Hand sounds good. And we've got a backup, so it's all good. Bring out the ice cream! I am. So. Ready. [You could almost picture hardcore heavy metal playing in the background. With explosions. Lots of them.]
[Rowlf can't help but feel a bit excited about the notice he saw on the bulletin board the other day. This would be his very first mission as a student of this prestigious inter-dimensional school named Ludus. Who wouldn't be giddy over that? He's only been to normal schools that talked about (but did not extensively use) Eirz Arts back home after all and it was boring as hell. Informative, yes, but boring. Lectures about how to determine how much eirz is present in the area to the practical, everyday uses of it filled his school days. No hunting this or that, foraging for this or that, no nothing. It's all reading textbooks and writing papers.

In this school, however, they're getting requests like those guilds he came across in the worlds he's been before. They weren't limited to burying their noses in textbooks all day.

And so he walked to the forest which isn't that easy to miss since it's practically surrounding the campus.]

Rowlf: [notices the slowly moving shrubbery around him and walks deeper into the forest, looking at his 'somewhat useless' map (although he doesn't know that). He traces a finger from his point of entry based on the map and to where he should be now. He looks up and places a paw on the nearest tree in front of him.] So this is a Baobab. Interesting..
Zaldun: [Brings out gallon of (previously) coffee crumble ice cream. She removes both her gauntlets and the gloves underneath them her hands are petite and girlish.]
August: [Waits for Zaldun to get her share then proceeds to grab a handful then promptly shoves it into his mouth. Accidentally glances upon a mushroom, which leads to a thought of fungus, which leads to what fungus would taste like, which leads to--] Augh! Oh sweet Jesus fungus IS NASTY!
Zaldun: It's got a smokey tangy taste to it...[swallow] Interesting, but I'd rather not taste that again.

hmm... [grabs another bite.] Hey. You're thinking of beef jerky.
August: Try focusing on your desired flavor and nothing else... No, /you're/ thinking of beef jerky! [Takes another handful, this time focusing on a strawberry shortcake sort of flavor. Gives it a taste.] YEAH! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! Seriously, try concentrating. It's not that hard, and the results are /splendid/.
Rowlf: [turns to look at the source of that distinct sound.] /Nasty? What is?/ [He ignores his map, folds it neatly and places it in one of his bomber jacket's pockets. As he walks, he hears another shout, this time it's more audible signifying he's near. He can smell something delicious in the air.] Mm.... Butternut squash.... [He closes his eyes and lets his acute sense of smell guide him to where it's coming from and he arrives at a clearing, stopping a few meters away from a young man holding a branch and a female knight, both eating ice cream. Rowlf's eyes widen by a fraction, staring at the ice cream.] T-There's Butternut squash flavored ice cream?

Name: Lily the Bramble Bush
Nickname: Lily, Bramble
Sex: Plant (looks like a loli though)
Occupation: Part-time student and part-time shrubbery

Likes: Sunlight, water, soil rich in minerals and nice people
Dislikes: Rapevines, fire, artificial fertilizer, herbivores and vegetarians
Hobbies & Interests: Staying in one place and photosynthesizing (read: being a plant)

Abilities:

Talent: She can sense movement from afar from the ground, "talk" to plants and grow flowers and berries in her hair if she feels like it.
Physical/Magical: Not much to talk about if you don't talk about the branches that she can grow and control. Not exactly magic, the branches that grow out of her body are like extra arms and legs. They are thin and thorny but that's only because she doesn't know how not to make her branches people-friendly yet. Their strength can range from that of a little girl to being able to knock a full grown deer off its feet when she's really pissed.
Weaknesses: She has the composition of a plant. Anything you can imagine that harms a plant is basically harmful to her. That and she's pretty easy to outsmart and mislead.

Personality:

Not exactly shy but very quiet, little Lily does not really know how to go about interacting with people nor knows anything about social norms. A regular bramble bush like any other till about a week before classes started, she is currently adjusting to her new form: a little human girl. Or at least that's how she appears from the outside.

Upon closer inspection however, she has the clear characteristics of a plant. Real leaves for hair, light tan-coloured bark for skin, and branches that tend to escape from under her skirt; she takes these things for normal and considers her human condition as the anomaly. For all intents and purposes, she still thinks, acts and feels like a plant.

Despite this and the fact that she can sense how plants around her feel, she makes no move to defend them or stop others from harming or eating plants. She may feel uncomfortable when that happens and may back away from the person doing the harm in front of her but ultimately would not do anything about it. Rather, because she's still stuck in the mindset of a plant, she'd tend to remain still and rooted on the spot, hoping that the evildoer with not notice her and try to do the same to her as well.

If attacked however, she would immediately retaliate. Acting on impulse and pure fear, she'd duck and cover herself with her thorniest and most durable branches before lashing out with neither warning nor method with her remaining branches. She would never attack first, only react.

These details aside, Lily can be pretty friendly to people when she wants to be. Especially if they do her a good turn or are nice first. But other than that, she doesn't really have any other motivation to join the human race. Rather, she seeks to finish her education as fast as possible in order to go back to being the shrubbery she once was.

Background:

Lily comes from a relatively normal dimension. She could have possibly come from a dimension as normal as ours. But then, she was a real bramble bush without a care in the world aside from being a bush.

One day, a crack in her dimension finally ripped open and she tumbled through. By a million to one chance, she survived the tumble through dimension space and landed in the heart of Ludus Forest. The chaotic magic wrecking havoc on her physical being while in transit however, she received an ungodly and uncontrolled growth spurt once she took root in Ludus. Thus, for a whole week, Ludus Forest was intertwined with her thorny branches. Terrorizing student, plant and animal alike before turning on the notorious indigenous rapevines.

Finally, as the week ended, the magic of the transition took its final toll and she took the form of a little girl which students eventually found in the forest. Now, she is currently under the care of Richter Alcross, one of the students who first discovered her true form while in the forest.

Origin of Bramble RP event:
- Prompt/invite: http://sync.in/qP0UXMmgh4
- Audiobook: http://www.mediafire.com/?wb3gepvmhqnha1n
- Official log: (RP event still has to close)

Other Notables:
- Her name (Lily) was given to her by Richter.
- Will tend to follow people around when she has nothing to do.
- Has no memories of her previous dimension. (She's ttly a blank slate guys~ Try teaching her morality, why don't you? 8D)
- Does not eat people food. She prefers photosynthesizing.
- The only fellow plant she /detests/ are the rapevines.
- Hair actually changes with the seasons:

In winter, it's all bare thorny branches.
In spring, there are noticable buds of flowers amongst the young leaves.
In summer, all the leaves are a healthy deep green with some flowers depending on her mood.
In autumn, her leaves turn into shades of red, orange and yellow. By this time, she could sprout some berries.

- She feels somewhat uncomfortable when people eat plants in front of her

RP SAMPLE:
The first day is always the hardest.

As soon as Lily tried to settle herself in the forest again, not that comfortable with the idea of staying somewhere without abundant soil or sunlight, she was beset with another dilemma. The deer hanging from the tree proved that.

Lily felt her hair. Or rather her leaves. They were ripped and torn and dangling precariously from her fine twigs. Damage done by blunt teeth and an appetite for plants.

Lily silently glared up at the doe as it hung dazed from a branch overhead. That should teach it to not try and eat her again. She retracted her branches inside of her, their extension a mere minute before, retaliation against the beast's ambush.

Turning, she ventured further into the forest. Trying to find a clearing she could call her home for now.
