This is a little early, but I'll be lurking around until everyone arrives.

Hey, gonna be slow at first.

hEY THeRE KIDs hOWS IT goINg

Hey there King and Aggron!

Does anyone want to start? I need to check the last RP, I can't remember a thing that's going on. XD

Iiiiiiiii also need to check last rp-
I know Morty started to talk with Sargon-senpai but other than that my memory is a blur

(King) I think it's my turn to reply with Sargon so I can do that now if you like.

I can't remember what else going on, besides Jeremiah and Armin going after Ivy. XD

@Radiant
Sure thing!
I need to reply to the Doggo Squaddo--

I'll get started then, give me a second--

(King)

Sargon seemed to contemplate Mortikai's speech for a long while before he answered.

'So, the greater powers you require, the greater tasks you will be issued with. I can understand this. In the past, I have made many similar deals with others in order to gain something for myself. I would not be averse to doing it again.'

He gazed at his prisoner for a moment. 'I would like to meet this spirit for myself. How is he summoned?'

@Radiant
"Well, there are a few ways. The first, and most common, is with a summoning circle. The second is having a truly stong desire for the power, which is usually for some kind of revenge story. The third and the hardest, and honestly the one I dislike the most, is killing me, since I'm basically his right hand man at this point."
He ends on a slight shrug.
"The circle's probably the easiest thing, and I'm pretty sure I remember the most important parts."

hey, I'm here now. I need to check last week real quick though.

{Pythia doesn't even look up from her book when she hears Crowley and Vitis leave.} "Uh-huh." {She says unenthusiastically. Vitis leads out the door.}"Ok, Crow-boi, I know a good joint. Follow me!"

(King)

'I will not kill you,' said the Count. 'Although you were once human, you are now one of our kind, and you may be useful again in the future. Instruct me on how to make a summoning circle, and what is required to make one.'

It almost seemed that someone should have been listening at the door, but the corridor outside was as silent as death. Clearly, nobody eavesdropped on Sargon without good reason.

(Aggron)

Crowley grinned and fell into step beside Vitis, occasionally trying to get in front of him despite not knowing where they were headed. 'This place had better be as good as you're saying, or I might just have to stab you,' he said threateningly.

@Radiant
"Well..."
Rolling his shoulders slightly, he brings his hands up to count on his fingers with a slight flourish.
"It can be drawn with any kind of material. Chalk, blood, crayons, markers, any sort of material. It can be drawn in any colour, except for the symbols. For those, you'll be needing black and gold for the writing, and red for the symbol of Dark Brink - this thing."
At this, he raises his arm and points to the symbol on his wrist.
"The circle needs to be at least four feet across, so you need a bit of floor or wall space. Other than that, it's all just inside a basic circle."

{Vitis just grins.}"Eehh, it's probably going to be trashed. No guarantees. But hey, better than nothin' right?"

(King)

Sargon looked around, surveying the room they were standing in. It was quite small, but there was more than enough space for the circle to be drawn.

'In that case, I think here would be a good spot,' he said. 'I am going to find the materials for drawing the circle. Please wait here and do not attempt to leave the room.'

He turned and strode out into the corridor, his silver cape swishing behind him. As he left, a vampire guard slid over to stand just beside the open door, not looking at Morty.

(Aggron)

Crowley considered this for a few seconds. 'Yeaaah, I guess that's true. Besides, if the owner of the place is dead like everyone else, we can take all the stuff we want and not have to pay for anything!'

And a jar of Helmans Mayonnaise!

{Vitis chukles.}"Now you've got it! C'mon!" {Vitis Speeds up on his way.}

(Draco no)

(Hey, King, want to do the Illusionist's interaction with dark Brink soon?)

@Draco
(wEY-)
(lemme reply to doggo squaddoooo-)

@Radiant
Nodding slightly, Mortikai stands and stretches, then turns to push the bed out of the way a little. He winces at the slight screech it makes as it moves, swiftly stopping.
"Eh, that didn't work too well...At least there's definitely enough space now."
Out of curiousity, he looks through the open doorway and at the guard for a moment, then stands in the open space with hands on his hips.
"Hm. Now we wait."

(Aggron - By the way, you gonna have Jeremiah find Ivy soon? No rush or anything, I just want to continue with that group. X))

Crowley stumbled over a bit of loose stone in the pavement as he tried to keep up with Vitis' longer strides. He winced a little, his injuries nowhere close to healed yet, but there was no way he was going to admit it to anyone.

Still, he managed to ask, 'Hey, how far is this place?'

@Aggron
(Sure thing! Though, before or after Sargon summons him? ;w;
wowie, db's sure in high demand these days XD)

(King)

The vampire guard glanced over his shoulder when he heard the screech of the bed, crimson eyes narrowing mistrustfully.

'Don't try anything, prisoner,' he said in a hostile tone of voice.

hECK
DB IS IN HIGH DEMAND
WE'RE SELLING OUT
WE MUST RESTOCKKK

@Draco
The two soon reach the other part of the group, who were waiting outside the doors.
"Okay! Now that we're all here, we can stay here for the night!"
Ango announces with a slight excited tone to her voice.
"It is getting dark, and there's nowhere else...remotely safe."
Keenan says while eyeing the broken doors, gently pushing one and almost jumping out of his skin at the loud squeak the hinges make.

( @King After.)

Jed wagged his tail and borked quitely before padding away to find a place to sleep. Thorn stayed where she was.

om.fg yes

Vitis:"Not far. Just about here-Oh.....{As Vitis turned the corner, he spotted the bar, but he also spotted someone sitting at one of the chairs. It was Dianne, and he knew it. She hadn't noticed them yet, and Vitis figured that Crowley might try to fight her on sight. Pushing Crowley back behind the corner to keep him from seeing her, Vitis speaks.}"Yeah, this is the wrong one, it's actually this way..."

( @King
Illusionist:"I'd buy that for a DOLLAR!" XD)

(Aggron)

'Hey, quit it!' Crowley said, pushing Vitis aside so he could peer around the corner. 'You're trying to protect someone from me, aren't you? Just like that idiot Mortikai did!'

His voice had become a low, menacing hiss as he spoke, but he fell silent when he recognised Dianne in the bar. 'Oooh, it's her! The one with all the zombie things! Can we go kill her?'

{Vitis frowns at Crowley.}"I'm not trying to protect anyone from you, I'm trying to protect //you// from someone! Big difference. Kill her? Do you honestly think we can, as hurt as you were? You just got healed, wouldn't you rather try again when you're NOT obviously limping? Don't get the wrong idea here, I could care less what happens to her, but I can tell, if we try right now, we're going to die."

@Radiant
"Please, I'm not stupid enough to try to escsape from a building full of hostiles."
He laughs lightly, sitting back down on the bed to wait for the return of Sargon.

@Draco
Toby trots in after Jed, looking around excitedly. Using his head to open the door, he bounds into the games room and leaps up onto one of the couches, which now has quite a few tears in it.
Heading inside, Ango almost immediately bolts up the stairs, but turns back to look at the rest of their group outside.
"C'mon! We'll be safe in here."
"Shouldn't we all stay in the same room? In case those weirdos come back?"
Keenan says while cautiously walking through the door, frowning a little at how trashed the place had become.
Emelia simply walks around them, following Toby into the games room.

@Aggron
(Morty: "going once, going twice, sOLD to the bloodstained man in that weird mask! :D"
BD: "morty wyd you can't sell me I am yOUR LEADER-")

(also Crowley's gonna get rekt
and also Morty got burnt right there)

Jed wandered around the games room for a few seconds, then paused. He stared into a corner, then gave a bark of joy and ran over to the fuzzy orange shape that was lying there.

It was the plushie fish.

(Aggron)

There was a flash of silver metal in the starlight as Crowley whipped out his short serrated knife. 'Nobody tells ME what I can and can't do! If I want to fight her, then I'll fight her! And I'll kill you too if you get in my way!'

However, as he spoke, he shot another glance in the direction of the bar. He knew that, in reality, he had no chance of beating Dianne until he was fully healed. But that didn't mean he had to enjoy being told he was too weak to fight.

(King)

The guard continued to glare at him suspiciously until the Count suddenly reappeared. 'Leave,' he said quietly, and without a word the guard turned and hurried away up the corridor.

Sargon entered the room carrying a wooden box filled with an impressive array of different-coloured wax crayons. He knelt on the floor, setting the box down beside him, and beckoned for Morty to come down as well. 'I am going to start drawing the circle now, and I will need you to let me know immediately if I do anything wrong.'

{Vitis glares at Crowley momentarily, then smiles.}"Ok." {Vitis steps aside.}"You want to get brutally dismembered? Go right on ahead."

(Aggron)

Crowley looked at Vitis, then back at Dianne, and raised his knife with a murderous gleam in his eyes. But then he hesitated, torn between getting himself killed trying to fight, and admitting that he needed to heal before he took anyone on.

After a prolonged pause, the crowdragon sheathed his blade angrily. 'Next time I see her, I WILL kill her,' he vowed. 'Now c'mon, let's find another bar or summin'.'

@Draco
(H E R E T U R N S)
Barking, Toby runs to him, bouncing around a little with excitement.
Keenan walks to the games room, then stares at them with confusion.
"...Izzat a fish?"

(also on an unrelated note I'm doing a thing and I've just realised that Olivandeer's tail looks like a candy corn
just thought you all should know)

{Vitis Grins ear to ear.}"Wise choice. I know another good spot. It's not far."{Vitis starts walking in the opposite direction.}

(Aggroooon, I dunno if you saw it or not, but I asked a quick question back there)

Jed nodded energetically at Keenan, then threw the slightly dusty fish over Toby's head for him to catch.
(he
RRRR E TUR NS)

(also w0w nice
i've never eaten candy corn)

(Aggron)

Crowley tagged along after Vitis, staying uncharacteristically quiet as he shook off the remnants of his bitter mood. He stole one last glance back at the other bar and Dianne, then turned away without expression.

//Next time I see her...// he thought. //We're gonna fight, and she's gonna die. Not me, HER.//

@Radiant
"Oo, crayons. Neat."
He says quietly with a slight grin, sitting cross-legged on the other side of the box.
"Alright. I'll keep a keen eye."

(King)

With smooth, efficient motions, Sargon selected a blue crayon and drew the basic circle shape, making sure it was at least four feet across. Once it was done, he began to sketch out the writing with black and gold crayons, then took a crimson one to draw the symbol of Dark Brink. Before he finished drawing, he looked up at Mortikai expectantly to make sure he'd done it all right.

( @Radiant Ah, I completely missed that question sorry! Yes, I'll do that now.)

{As he walked through the streets, Jeremiah looked frantically for any sign of Ivy. Finally, he spots her slumped in the corner in front of her parent's house.}"Ivy!" {He says in a hoarse whisper.}"What were you thinking? We need to get out of here now!"

(Aggron)

On hearing the voice behind her, Ivy reacted instinctively, She snatched up a piece of sharp, broken stone off the ground and leapt to her feet, brandishing the shard as a makeshift weapon. Then confusion came over her face as she recognised Jeremiah at last.

'Go away,' she snapped. 'I'm not going back. I have to look for my parents. I have to find out if they're still alive!'

ONE OF MY SNAILS IS AWAKE OMG HES SO BIG AND GREY AND SQUISHY <3 <3

sorry was that weird

{Jeremiah walked over to her calmly.}"Ivy, now's not the best time. We've all lost people, and none of us are sure who made it and who didn't, but I know your parents wouldn't want you to die looking for them. If we stay here, we will die, and then no one will be left to stop Sargon."

{After a short walk, Vitis and Crowley come to a ruined bar. Enthusiastically hopping over the counter, Vitis starts looking for booze. Coming back in sight from behind the counter, Vitis rises with two large bottles of liquor and an evil grin splayed across his face.}"Aw yeah, boiiiiiii! Who wants to get KRUNK'D!!?"

(Aggron)

Ivy stepped backwards, away from him, and replied in a cold voice: 'Oh, really? Tell me, how exactly DO you plan on defeating him? Who are we, anyway? We're two helpless humans and one vampire that might betray us at any moment! We have NO CHANCE of defeating the ba.stard who destroyed Shacklestone, and frankly I'd rather die doing something good - like helping my family!'

(Aggron)

'Gimmie one of those.' Crowley limped across the bar and grabbed one of the bottles of liqour out of Vitis's hand. 'HeII yeah, let's do this! I can drink more than you any day!'

(I think King may be dead
RIP)

@Radiant
Nodding, he gives a thumbs up.
"Yep...Wait, hang on..."
He leans over and points to one of the symbols.
"This one needs two dots either side. And...this one needs to be a little longer."

@Draco
Toby whips his head back with a slight yip, trying to catch it. Spinning, he manages to catch it by the tail, his own wagging happily.
(I've only ever had one single candy corn r.i.p-)

(I'm like Satan
say my name and I will come)

(King)
(OH NOOOO--)

Sargon didn't respond, but quickly set to work editing the symbols to match Morty's descriptions. Once he was done, he leaned back to observe the entire circle that lay before them. 'Now what do we need to do?' he asked.

Jed whuffed, eagerly waiting for Toby to throw the fis back.
(kinG NO OOO)

{Jerry sighed, then proceeded to sit on the garden wall.}"Well, you're forgetting the ages old necromancer that I convinced to help us earlier, but that's besides the point. We humans might be weaker and....for lack of a better word, squishier than most non-humans, but we are not helpless. In fact, I know of a whole group of crazy hunter fanatics back home who'd disagree with everything you just said. Ivy, please believe me, I have a plan, and it will work. You just need to have a little faith. I do, and that's why I believe Armin won't backstab us."

{Vitis cracks open his bottle and drinks lavishly from it.}"Oh, it's on Birdo! No one can outdrink me!"

(Aggron)

Ivy looked down at the piece of broken stone in her hands while Jeremiah spoke, turning it over and examining the sharp edges. At last, she said, 'I want to believe you. But it's hard to believe what ANYONE says after you've seen your entire hometown destroyed and everyone you know wiped out in the space of a single night... Still, maybe you're right and I should be a little more optimistic. If we do end up dying, then better to die fighting, hmm?'

(Aggron)

Crowley let out a nasty cackling laugh. 'Suuure, serpent boy. I'll believe that when I see it.' He leaned against the counter and took a casual swig from his own bottle, careful not to drink too much at once.

(oH Y E A H -)

@Draco
He spins back around, backing up a little before throwing it upwards towards Jed.
Meanwhile, Keenan looks around the room, walking to a battered armchair. He shifts into his lion form before jumping up into it and curling up in a tight ball, his injured paw hanging off the edge of the chair.
Ango quickly beckons Thorn inside before heading in, going to where her mum is sat and sits next to her, sighing softly.

@Radiant
"All we need to do it wait. But, if you need him now..."
Shifting to a knelt position, Mortikai leans over the edge of the circle slightly, raising a hand to his mouth and biting hard into one of his fingers, wincing as he draws blood. A little of the red liquid drips from his lips when he removes his hand, gently squeezing the wound until his blood drips into the circle.
"There...Now he should-"
A flash of light appears at the centre of the circle, quickly forming into a dark sphere. Mortikai watches it with a slight grin.
"Give 'im a second."

(King)

Sargon did not react when Morty bit into his own hand, but simply knelt in front of the circle and waited. Most people would have been nervous, but if he was then he didn't show it. His face was, as usual, devoid of any readable emotion.

Jed dashed after the fuzzy fish and caught it by a fin. Meanwhile, Thorn went to sit on the back of a chair, apparently deciding that she was too cool for seats.

(I think everyone died again
RIP)

tumbleweebs are tumbling...
crickets are chirping...

(Gimmie a minute, Math troubles...)

(Draco - Tumbleweebs why

(Hey, my wifi's going off in a minute so I'll probably have to call it a night.)

hey isn't it past midnight? didn't someone say that it's illegal to let off fireworks after midnight??

(I think so
you can let them off later on 5th November
which it technically is because it's after midnight
i dunno)

Yeah, I'm going to have to call it myself. If y'all want to continue the mini RP with @King tomorrow, I'm down.

(Alright Aggron, see you all next time then! I should be available for the mini RP tomorrow evening (my time) but probably not until quite late.)

(aH
well byeeeee

@Radiant
He absent-mindedly wipes his bleeding hand against his shirt, then reaches over and gently pokes the ball.
"Oi, Brink. You asleep or something?"
The ball emits a mist upon his touch, making him jump back. The mist spirals a little before forming into a feline shape, Dark Brink now stood before them.
//Ah, Mortikai. I thought I would see you tied up with a knife to your neck from that little trick. Who's your friend?//
"Well, technically, he's the one who wanted to summon you."
//Of course. Lord Sargon, I'm pleased to make your acquaintance.//
The spectral feline bows a little, sporting it's curled smile as it stares up at the vampire.

@Draco
Ango leans against Emilia, yawning.
"Come now, little kitten. You've had a busy day. It's time for you to rest."
Her mother says softly, removing Ango's mask and setting it down on the coffee table in front of them. She mumbles something, nuzzling into her mother, making her laugh lightly.
Toby bounces around excitedly.

(tfw very very late comments r.i.p)

(also yes roleplay
das pretty kewl)
