Hey, looks like it'll be the opposite of what I thought. I'll be here for the first half.

Hello Aggron! And that's alright, roughly how long do you think you've got?

Actually, my plans have been rescheduled.(sp?) I'll be here for pretty much the entire thing.

Ah, alright!

I gotta check the other RP room and remember what I'm supposed to be writing. XD

Morty's gonna steal some random dead person's Starbucks (I'm really into coffee at the moment idk why XD)

Hey King!
Hmm, Morty stealing coffee from dead people and Crowley killing all the not-dead patients. XD

Ok, I just found out that I've got chores to do, so, I'm going to be slow.

(Aggron) Your plans change a lot. XD Nah it's fine, I'm usually slow as well so it doesn't matter.

I also gotta drag Draco off Youtube at some point--

I love how everyone's going to the hospital XD
If Crowley found Ango's mum first, she would literally fight him (oh god I'm imagining that now, tiny Ango just yelling up at him with Toby and Jed clinging to her jumper XD)

OOH YES
Let's make that happen. XD

She'd just be sat there like "ur not my nurse :(" then Ango sprints in like "hOLD IT BIONCH >:U" XD

That mental image is beautiful. XD

Whenever you're all ready to start, I'll get Draco and we can begin. >:)

*sprints to last rp to read what to do next*
all good to go! :3

tut tut
im already here

King, do you want to start this week? I've started the last few sessions and I feel like someone else should have a turn. XD

(Draco) Not when I wrote that comment

hey guys do you remember bodyish

and sure!
I think I'll start with Morty, since I'd replied last with Ango friends :3

"Thorn looked at the body. It was very bodyish."
yes i remember

(King) bodyyyiiiiiisssshh

And OK! Go ahead. :)

Mortikai paces through the halls of the hospital, looking around to both check that Crowley and Thorn were following him and for any signs pointing towards storerooms or areas where bandages would be quick to hand. He absent-mindedly plays with a pen he found in his pocket, this place bringing far too many memories up than his old mind would like. He doesn't realise that he's frowning until he catches a glimpse of himself in a window. Shaking his head slightly, he turns to his companions.
"It's a little quiet, isn't it? Feels a little like a horror movie."

Crowley had been trotting along some way behind Mortikai for a while, inspecting his surroundings with an almost childlike curiosity before the shapeshifter's voice snapped him back to reality. 'Huh?' he said. 'Oh yeah, I see what you mean. It's like we're gonna find lots of dead people in a minute, except that bit's already happened.'

Arminus shot Jeremiah a cautionary glance as he prepared to leave his hideout house. 'It might not help,' he said. 'A very powerful vampire like Sargon will be able to instinctively sense that you haven't really been bitten - seen it happen before to people who tried similar tricks. It might work against lesser vampires, but nothing will protect you from HIM.'
He turned towards the front door to hide his grim expression.

"Maybe we'll find something else horrifying, like ghosts or zombies," Thorn suggested. "Doesn't seem very likely though... scattered innards, maybe?"

(*co.ckney voice* ev'rybody's ded-)

(woops spoke too soon)

@Rad/Draco
"Maybe the innards come alive and try to strangle us."
He says while trying to look into the window of a locked room, making a noise of annoyance when he realises that it's mirrored. After a few moments of inspection, he stands up straight and shuffles back a little, then punches it, pulling his fist back and repeating until it smashes. He picks up a piece and smiles.
"Just as I suspected. One way glass."
He drops it, shaking his now bloodied hand a little. He looks through the hole.
"And behind door number one...a storeroom."

Crowley stretched his long neck over Morty's shoulder to loom into the room, pushing Thorn out of his way. 'What's in there?' he asked. 'Are there any people I can kill?'

(That should say look, not loom. XD)

Thorn tutted loudly. "Why'd there be people in there? Not a place where you usually fimd a lot of people. Not a great hiding place, either."

@Rad/Draco

He shrugs.
"It's a possibility someone's locked themselves in there. Plus, it's were the supplies we need are."

(Re: Actually now that I don't struggle to draw dragons I was planning to make her ref and I still rp with her so don't worry and expect a ref soon! ^-^)

Crowley ruffled his wings impatiently. 'Lead the way then, cat boy,' he said, trying to nudge Morty forwards. 'And if there are people in there to kill, don't touch them - they're mine.'
His jaws fell open to show needle-like teeth that were already stained with blood.

(*rises from the abyss* IS ANYONE ELSE STILL ALIVE? XD)

wao
was wait8ng 4 ki g becqjsr idk whqt to majr thonrn say

im sorry is that readable

@Rad/Draco
Awkwardly, Morty reaches through the hole and unlocks the door, letting it swing open. As he walks in, he hears a whimper from the far corner. Looking over, he sees a young person, cowering away from them. They obviously heard Crowley's remark about killing anyone inside, and were trying to hide.
"Huh. What d'y' know. This is a pretty bad hiding place."

(*is somehow alive*
sorry if I get a little dodgy, my favourite band is livestreaming a show right now and I'm dying inside qwq)
(also heeeeeyyyyy draaaacooooo wanna throw mom search party back in? :3)

Crowley let out a wild cackling laugh and sprung across the room, landing in front of the youngster and baring his teeth in a grin that would've made the devil cringe. His dark-feathered wings seemed to fill all the space around him as he stretched them open, bearing down on the human in preparation to strike.
'Heh... game's over. You're it,' he whispered, bringing his claws down and slashing towards their neck.

(sureeeee let's get the mum search party in here)

Count Sargon stood in a deserted building, busy examining the radio transmitter-like machine. Weeks ago, he'd gotten reports from his subordinates that it existed, but he hadn't fully trusted their word - not until he saw it with his own eyes. It was the turning point of his plans, and what he intended accomplish in Shacklestone would never work without it.

'Almost time...' he murmured, then turned to the window to watch his troops spreading across the city in their hundreds.

(Gonna leave off Sargon's plot-related stuff for the time being so we can focus on things in the hospital. XD)

@Rad/Draco
Mortikai whistles, watching the bloo.d pour from the poor human's throat.
"Ten points for catchphrase, another ten for savageness."
He looks to the nearby metal shelving and takes a couple rolls of bandages, rummaging around for something antiseptic.

@Draco
The group approaches a different entrance to the hospital, a worried feeling rising in Ango's chest.
"Here we are..."
She mumbles, a hand clenching into a fist with nervousness. Yipping a little, Jed walks up beside her. Keenan simply rolls his eyes.
"No time like the present, masky. Let's go."

Crowley turned away from the body without another word. Looking quickly around the storeroom, he found a piece of cloth to clean his bloodstained claws with, then tossed it aside into a pile of boxes. His expression was more calm than it had been all night - almost at peace.
'Did you find what you were looking for?' he asked Mortikai.

Jed ran ahead, inspecting the entrance to the hospital. He sniffed. //Someone's been through here recently, and I hope they're not thinking of hurting anyone else...//

dang i forgot they said 'a DIFFERENT entrance'
1O/1O well done

@Rad/Draco

"Hmph, nearly...Can't find any cleaning liquid things..."
He grumbles, his brow furrowing as he tries to find both the correct word and the thing he's looking for. As he walks to the other side of the room to search, he shoves the bandages into his coat pocket.

(shh it's fine it can be the same one uwu)

Crowley jumped on top of a small wooden box and sat down, watching with narrowed eyes as Morty searched the storeroom. 'Should I be worried that you don't even know what the stuff is called?'

Thorn surveyed the many shelves, then grabbed three bottles of liquid - one clear, one brownish and one pale pink. "Are any of these what you're looking for?"

Whew! Those chores were more intensive than I thought. I'm here to stay now.

(Alright Aggron, I replied with Armin back there.)

@Draco
Toby shoots a worried look at Jed, scenting the fresh trails. Keenan's eyes narrow.
"There still might be someone in here. There's something scaly...something bird-like...a plant?"
His face changes to one of confusion, even more so when he can tell Mortikai had been there.
"The sooner we find my mom, the sooner we can leave."
Ango says shakily, stepping through the broken glass.

@Rad/Draco
"I just can't remember the name..."
He trails off, looking to Thorn and stepping towards her, bending to look at the labels.
"Hm...let's test this one."
He takes the clear bottle and uncaps it, pouring a little onto his bleeding hand, hissing as pain shoots up his arm.
"Doesn't feel like it's melting my flesh off, but it b.loody well hurts."

{Meanwhile, Vitis walks through the hospital halls on the second floor, whistling and carrying a clinking bag of medicinal loot.}

'Hey, as long as it does what it's meant to, I don't care if it hurts,' Crowley bragged, stretching his wings out lazily. 'I can take pain way better than either of you.'

{Jeremiah nods as he heads out the door.}"Well, let's hope we don't run into //him// then. You got a weapon?"

Thorn gave Morty the pink bottle. "Try this, I want to see what they all do."

-

Jed padded in carefully after Ango, ears pricked. A scaly birdy planty thing - and it was probably still somewhere in the building.

(rip
i need to type quicker

'I've got my sword, as always,' replied Armin, pointing over his shoulder at the large blade he wore strapped across his back. 'It's not made of wood, but I can cut their heads off, it should work just fine against the vampires.'
He winced slightly as he talked about killing his own kind.

{Jeremiah tosses his cigarrette and steps on it.}"Alrighty. We need to move quickly, the sun will be up soon. I know the quickest route."{With that, he heads through the forest towards the front gate.}

Armin followed Jeremiah, drawing his sword as he went and weighing it in his hands.
'I'm curious... how do you know so much about the non-human races?' he asked. 'Have you spent a long time studying us or something?'

{Jeremiah chuckes at the question.}"Well, since we might die within the next few hours, I mind as well tell you a little story. My parents were....a little unorthodox.(sp?) You see, they're both Hunters; Illegal bounty hunters of non-human public enemies. They made me study the various phisiologies of non-humans. I might not share their beliefs, but I sure am glad of what they taught me now."

Armin grimaced distastefully at the mention of non-human hunters. 'I can't say I share their beliefs either,' he said ruefully. 'But I suppose you'd be dead by now if it wasn't for them.'

@Rad/Draco
"Then we'll test this one out on you."
Morty opens the top of the bottle with difficulty, his injured hand beginning to feel a little numb. He walks to Crowley and pours about half of the bottle into his new chest cavity, taking a quick step back to watch his reaction.

@Draco
Toby trots around, looking around and sniffing the floor, wrinkling his nose as the metallic scent of blood hits it.
"Okay...left at the reception desk, follow the sign down..."
Ango repeats from memory, pointing in directions as she goes. Keenan growls softly as some glass scrapes his shoulder, swiftly licking the blood up.

Crowley hissed, more out of surprise than pain, and shook himself vigorously to get the excess liquid off his feathers. Then he looked down curiously at his own wound as if only just remembering it was there.
'OK, that one kinda hurts, but I don't think as much as the other one hurt you,' he informed Mortikai.

(It's getting kinda late here, I might have to head off in 20-30 minutes!)

@Rad/Draco

"Hm...last one on both of us?"
He grins slightly, looking to both of them.

Crowley was silent for a few seconds, then smirked at Mortikai. 'You're on. Who first? Or both at the same time?'

{Jeremiah looks down.}"Yeah. Once word of this gets out, they'll never let me live it down."{As they approach the front gates, Jeremiah slows, making sure no guards have been posted yet.}

(hi
still alive

"I want some too," Thorn said eagerly. "And we drink it at the same time."

(Wait they never said to drink it
I need to stop
I have issues

{Meanwhile, Dianne arrives at her home. Walking in the front door, she sighs and puts her weapons on the counter. She stops for a moment. Suddenly, she reahes down and begins pulling up the floor boards behind the counter. Beneath them lies a cellar door. Opening it, she speaks to the draugrs in front of her.}"You six. Bring me as many bodies as you can before the sun rises.Try not to be seen."{With that, the draugrs head ount into the night and Dianne descends into the dark cellar.}

Armin hummed thoughtfully as he saw the gates up ahead. There was nobody standing outside them - certainly nobody who looked like a guard. 'Don't expect everything to be unprotected,' he said warningly. 'The whole place is still swarming with troops. I'm not sure why the main entrance isn't guarded yet, to be honest.'

{Jeremiah squints at the gates.}"They're not looking for people coming in, they're looking for people going out. Let's go, carefully. Watch the skies, there could be bird shifters."{Jeremiah carefully approaches the gates, sticking to the shadows as much as possible.}

(Wait just a minute, what ever happened with Sheldon and Tochi?)

'I'd be more worried about the dragon shifters - there aren't many of them, but they're powerful,' said Armin quietly. 'Want me to go ahead? My eyesight's better than yours in the dark.'

(Aggron: They're still in the city, near Sargon's old hideout. XD I originally had a plan to rescue them with involved Kole and Nyx, but if Kole doesn't turn up next session, I might have to come up with a new idea.)

(*which involved)

{Jeremiah lets Armin go ahead.}"Yeah, if we can make it to my office, I've got something that'll fix their wagons."

( @Radiant Alrighty. : ) )

Armin edged through the gates, peering up and down the darkened streets to ensure the coast was clear before he moved onwards, keeping his sword held ready at his left side. 'Surprisingly quiet,' he remarked. 'I know the Count doesn't have a big enough army to cover the whole city, so maybe he's focusing his attention on important areas... We'll probably find that some places are more guarded than others.'

{Jeremiah grins.}"Yup. Let's hope our luck holds. This way."{Jeremiah draws his firearm and directs Armin down a series of alleyways, carefully watching the skies and the passages behind them.}

(I think King might've died again. XD

DON'T BE DEAD KING)

Armin continued walking for a little while, following Jeremiah's directions. //It really is quiet...// he thought. //What parts of Shacklestone are going to be guarded?//

All of a sudden, a deafening roar rang out somewhere directly above them. Thinking on the spot, Armin grabbed Jeremiah's weapon-free arm and pulled him under the roof of an abandoned building. 'Don't make a sound. There's a young dragon shifter circling the sky overhead,' he said under his breath.

{Jeremiah nods. He stays completely still, hoping the shifter will pass.}

After about half a minute, Armin cautiously steps out from under the building and stares up at the sky. 'I think they've flown elsewhere,' he said quietly. 'We'll have to watch out for sky guards like them from now on. That one nearly spotted us.'

"Yes, not much further now."{Jeremiah leads Armin down a few more alleyways, watching for guards along the way. As he peeks around the corner that would lead to his home, he quickly stops and ducks back into an alley.}"There's someone standing in front of my door!"

Armin looked worried, but hid it well. 'I'm not surprised,' he responded. 'You and the police broke into Count Sargon's hideout once, and you've always been against him. I'm guessing he anticipated you'd come back here and has set guards outside your office.'
He looked at his sword, briefly wondering if he could defeat all the guards by himself, then dismissed the thought.

(Alright, I'd better be going now, it's half past midnight. XD This was fun, I'll be looking forward to the next RP!)

{Jeremiah stops to think for a moment.}"If my place is important to Sargon, we can't just take that guard head on. At least, not right now. There are bound to be more guards in the immediate area who would be watching, or close enough to hear the scuffle." {Sighing, he shakes is head.}"Plan B, then. This way." {Jeremiah leads Armin down a few more alleys, till they're two alleys behind his office. Quietly, he pushes a dumpster aside to reveal a set of doors.}"Secret entrance to my basement. C'mon. I need you on point."{He opens the doors to reveal a pitch black tunnel.}

(I will be as well. See ya!)
