Words Said Twice

[Cephrien]

Ceph grins and looked at him before teleporting away.
He reappeared in Serena's apartment, the cuts, burns and damage still showing on his body.

[Helene]

Helene hardly turns her head and she is at a lost for words.
~* I am pregant... 3 times over it seems*~
She puts her hand on her stomach.

((~*TEXT*~ is telepathic))

[Illidan]

"Yes, I do whatever he asks of me. I do not mind though, since he is not as evil as he would like to appear. I think there is some good left in him, as much as he tries to deny it."

Illidan smiles, Kassenia seems to be warming up to him.

"And what have you done so far? Do you mainly stay here or do you take missions?"

[Deetric Proudmore]

Deetric smiles and nods, not saying anything. He's silent for about twenty seconds before he falls backwards, fainted dead away.

[Kassenia]

"So far i have taken missions. But i prefer to stay in my dungeon. It seems Kaiekas feelings penetrate my own and mess me up. I need to be free of this baggage. Sorry if insulting Kaschei upset you. He is an a'ss though."

WHy did she speak so freely with him. She didn't even like him. Did she?

[Valodya Bassarov]

"Zero, I will take you to the base where you can talk to Wyrm or Zex."

Bassarov gets up and takes Zero to the base, to Wyrms room. He leaves her there to negotiate things with the anarchist hacker.

He walks back through the hall and sees Linnea working on a mural.
Garret is with her.

"Good to see the two of you, nice work on the mural by the way."


((I am getting offline and will not be back on tonight))

[Matsumura]

Matsumura uses the full force of his telepathy to run a screening of some of his most painful memories for Zinn.

Memories:
Matsumura at age 5. He's walking around with his father.
"Daddy, what's an angel?" asked the young Matsumura.

"An angel is someone of great honor and dignity who worships God and does whatever he can to serve him in the best interest of everyone," said Matsu's father

"Then why are we angels of death, if death is bad and angels do good?" asked Matsu.

"Not all people are good, Matsu. Sometimes the only way to maintain a stable balance is to kill those who will upset it. It's our responsibility to make sure those who threaten the sanctity of life are disposed of," replied Matsu's father.

Violent, wild images fly by. Angels flying, war blazing, villages on fire, children crying. Matsumura flies into a burning building and saves those who are trapped inside. "YOU DID THIS, DIDN'T YOU!" shouted Matsumura at a white haired angel. The white haired angel grins, then shoots a fire blast at Matsumura.

A new image appears. It's Matsumura holding his dying father in his arms. Matsumura is crying. "Father.... what happened? Who did this to you?!?" asked Matsumura.

"It was..... the Hand. They're the ones in control now..... You must stop them. Do it for me. Angels and Gods no longer serve the peace. It's up to you......... to make them pay. You're a warrior, Matsumura...... a killing machine. Please..... don't let me die.... without honor," said Matsumura's father.

Then another vision appears. It's Matsumura fighting a melee army of angel elites. Matsumura is putting up a good fight, but there are too many of them. They knock him to the ground. One of them grabs a sword and stands above Matsumura, ready to kill. Matsumura's eyes begin to glow, as he goes into berzerker mode. He soon tears into all the angels until one by one they are dead.

Then another vision appears. It's Matsumura's heart turning black. Matsu is falling and falling and he can't do anything to stop it.

Then the image of Matsumura helping the rebels appears. Matsumura befriends humans and learns their ways. It appears as though he's found a new home. Then, more angels appear and knock Matsu back. They kill a couple of his friends and injure the others. Matsumura is forced to leave them.

Then it shows Matsumura talking to a recruiter for the League of the Godless.
"Ok, let me make one thing clear. I am here to make sure that the angels and gods pay for their abusive behavior. I am not going to kill those who don't deserve it. I am the angel of death afterall, and I must follow certain rules," said Matsumura.

"You will be an on-call assassin. You can refuse any jobs that you wish to. A warrior of your calibur will be useful to have on our side, even if he doesn't exactly agree with the cause," said the recruiter.

Then several other images pop up. Most of them are clips of Matsu being beaten by his trainer.
"You'll never be anything but a wuss," said Matsumura's master.

"That's not true," said Matsumura.

"Quiet!" exclaimed Matsumura's trainer as he smacked him.

Then the image of Matsumura being beaten transforms into an image of Matsumura being attacked by a mob of humans carrying torches shouting, "Kill the freak!"

Matsumura ends the telepathic link with Zinn. "There, you see. Not a single innocent death," said Matsumura, as if trying to avoid commenting on all the other painful memories.

[Zinn]

((Matsumura, go see Zinn's profile. She just tricked you into damaging yourself. She didn't pick up any of those memories, and by attempting to set up a link, you got hit by Zinn's feedback reflex. You just got hit with all of your own worst memories and feelings, condensed. The effects are disorienting and rather painful, physically.))

[Grove]

~You can count on me.~

Grove continued to glare at the girl.

"You can take Roane's suggestion and try to find this man's wings, but I will not allow you to take hers. If you wish to proceed with this course of action, I will be forced to take retaliative measures..."

[Helene]

Helene, this time, moves her head in the direction of Deetric's fallen body.
And raises an eyebrow.
~*Hm... Very nice... wake up...*~

[Matsumura]

"Hmmm..... so you didn't see a thing. Well, you're heartless. But whatever. I live with these memories everyday. Reliving them once more won't hurt me. However, I've about had my fill of you. You know what the most dangerous thing about me is? My mood changes..... adjusts according to the mood around me. I had hoped to have a nice little chit chat with you. But it's too late! Why oh why did you have to put up such a negative air? Now it's your own fault if I kill you. I no longer have control!" exclaimed Matsumura. Matsumura began shaking violently. His black heart grew and throbbed inside his chest. His wings spread out from beneath his cloak. His overall muscular build and size increased. His fingernails grew into tallon-like objects. His eyes turned full yellow and glowed maniacally. A giant ball of ki formed around him, and smaller ki balls began to rotate around him in orbitals. As they sped up they became unstable and left the course of their path. Pretty soon the room was a giant mass of flying ki. "I can taste your fear, you heartless piece of.............. oh no...... NO! I can't do this..... I can't hurt her! She may be cruel, but she doesn't deserve to die!" Matsumura grasped his head and shook it back and forth until his ki rage mellowed down. He returned to ground state and pulled his wings back inside his cloaks. "Negative energy is bad for your health," said Matsumura. He half grinned to break the ice.

[Deetric Proudmore]

"So," says Deetric, sitting up and crawling over to lay down on his back besides Helene, "Just so I understand. Your pregent... with triplets?"

[Zinn]

((These things around this mean OCC. You know, out of character. I was informing you of one of Zinn's abilities. That's why she was baiting you to link with her. When people try to read her mind and go through the shield, they are hit with their own worst memories reflected, intensified, and condensed. Right now you should be in pain, or at least severely disoriented and depressed.))



((On a different note, you've completely misinterpreted Zinn's character. She isn't heartless and evil. She's nervous, depressed, and very defensive of people she cares about. If you were being affected by Zinn's personality, you'd probably be having a panic attack. She's just very good at putting all of her emotions away when dealing with combat situations. You should keep in mind Zinn was tortured by Red infinity. Even if they wren't in your division, she is probably going to hate you. You really can't do anything to convince her otherwise. RI killed her parents, killed her best friend/ unrequited love interest, incarcerated or killed most of her friends, and did horrible things to her. I don't want to play the who hurts more game, but Zinn has been through some really nasty stuff.))

[Helene]

~* According to Mother Oak... yes I am...*~
Helene turns her head to look Deetric dead in the eye.
~*Are YOU okay with this?*~

[Satsujin]

Satsujin tries to move but is held in place by the end of her tail which he failed to notice sneaking up on her. Despite the fact that he could not move and was about to be hit with acid and a shot of fridgid ice breath, he simply looked up at the acid with a stoic expression.
The acid hit, quickly burning away his body. Just after that the ice breath hit and froze his remains, encasing him in ice... The peices of Satsujin did not move, nor try to come out of the ice. They just sat there.
Suddenly Louhi felt a burning pain in her underside. She whirled her head down below her to see what it was, only to find Satsujin there, his abyssal blade sliding neatly between her scales up into her body. Satsujin took one hand off the sword hilt and got in a quick draw-back stance. He then shot his palm forward, striking the pommel with force as he shouted. A black beam of darkness shot through the top of the dragon's back, bursting through her scales from the inside as it blew a 3 foot hole in her body.
Satsujin dissapeared in a puff of smoke. Louhi heard a loud boom behind her as she saw cracks appear on the ground. Just then what felt like a claw rested on her body from behind. Once again she turned to see a creature twice her size... It was completely black, save for the huge red eyes that glared down on her. It was a creature that resembled a dragon, only one from a distant planet Satsujin had already visited, and destroyed... The creature spoke in a booming voice that Louhi recognized as Satsujin's.

"... Pathetic..."

Satsujin used his huge clawed arm and slowly lifted Louhi off the ground, growling in a voice that shook the earth...
