the Skulduggery role play

[Gray Shinigami]

(*laughs* same here, but I can't really do much since I was the last to post something bout the rp)  

[Kiiyashi]

(Hmm... I just realized that my massive time on the computer may be due to the fact I have no life...
Well, do you want to take control of Xieas for a bit? I've already got control of my character and Skulduggery...)  

[Gray Shinigami]

(Same here, no-lifer, yeah why not I've got nothing better to do and you seem to say Hmm.... alot too =P)  

[Kiiyashi]

(A relic of my first roleplay, back when I had oneliner posts and rp'd in first person... Such a bad idea, it took me only a few days to move on to 3rd person and slowly made my posts larger. Yeah, I used to have Hmm... in just about every post, it annoyed people.)  

[Gray Shinigami]

(I find it interesting/amusing, then again I find a number if things interesting)  

[Kiiyashi]

(Yep, I found the "VALK STOP IT WITH THE HMM...!!!" very amusing, back before I changed my Gaia Name.)  

[Gray Shinigami]

(*laughs* "Hmm..." just shows a thinking process is there but so does staring blanking out a window/ at a blank page......)  

[Alisa Chatoyant]

Actually, your right. I do have a little time, i guess i just don't know what to say... Xieas is kind'a fading out and Amilth is a pointless character. I'm not that good when it comes to making my own RP characters sweatdrop  

[Kiiyashi]

(Was there any plot that was created for the rp, or was it just free reign in the SP world? If there is no plot, make Xieas retreat for a bit or something, unless you think it's time for the RP to end and we destroy him now, then create another Rp set after this one. I have a good idea for an Antagonist.)  

[Alisa Chatoyant]

Yeah, i could make Xieas retreat so u can bring forth your antagonist (sounds good). Although, if Amlith's gone, I may need ideas for a new one, because i haven't a clue. >.>

This is going to be lousy, but oh well:

Xieas yawned "This is getting tiresome." he muttered "Killing me, is not going to get you valkyrie and alruvain now is it? If you want to save them, your going to have to figyure it out for yourselvs. Now, if you dont mind, i must deppart." he glanced at Amlith. "Amlith," he said sharply "you shall come." Amlith frowned.
"I don't work for you anymore."
"You shall come," he growled "or so help me..." Amlith grit her teeth
"If you want me-" she said slowly "your going to have to get me." Xieas stared at her for a second, then nodded.
"Very well." he muttered. Within a spit second, he was in front of her, Amlith tried to run, her wings thrashing, but Xieas held out his hands, tendrils snapped out from his palms and wrapped around her from top to toe, covering her face and breathing holes. Her struggling became weaker, her shouts, fainter until she fell limp. "worthless." Xieas muttered. He glanced back at his 'acquaintances' one last time, his red, gleaming eyes snapping to Skulduggery. "Until next time, Mr Pleasant." he said, then vanished with Amlith, leaving a faint gust of shadows from where he had departed.

(Okay, The antagonist shall be Caeles Ponder, he's in the character forum already.
Hmm... new character, how bout a sensor that deliberately get's possessed and can manage some degree of control over the spirit that's possessing them. So if they are possessed by a master swordsman, then they would be able to use a sword perfectly. But they would only be able to control the possessing spirit for a few minutes before losing control over it.)

Skulduggery stared as Xieas retreated from the battle. After a moment though, he remembered why he was there and rushed towards the large glass wall that dominated the far side of the area. Standing a meter back form the glass, the skeleton detective held out both his hands and conjured a fireball in each. Thrusting both palms forward, the skeleton watched as a barrage of magical fire smashed into the glass, slowly melting through it. Eventually breaking through the glass barrier, Skulduggery quickly moved forward to grab Valkyrie and quickly carried her out of the glass room. Sitting Valkyrie on the ground, Skulduggery lent her against a wall and watched as she slowly woke up. Pale, shivering and looking as if she hadn't slept for days, but awake.

Belligerent walked into his lab, the shadowy door behind him vanishing from existence once his minion followed him in. Walking over to one of the drawers, the Necromancer removed a disc of polished black glass. Waving a hand over it, Bell tilted his head to the side to avoid the bright light the device emitted when it started up. The device flashed and illuminated the room for a moment before the black glass cleared up, revealing a tall, white haired figure standing in a large room, facing a massive map that dominated an entire wall of the room. "You're late," The figure stated, before simply adding, "Update."

Kneeling down infront of the disc, Belligerent responded slowly,"The seal is working successfully. It should be possible to increase the range and power of it with some alterations. The last week of research is just being compiled now, I'll send it shortly. The skeleton detective is still around and now there's another one like him, they were beginning to fight when I left..." Finishing off his update, Belligerent bowed slightly before shutting down the device with a wave of is hand, causing the glass to darken again. Replacing the glass in the drawer, Belligerent grabbed a folder from a bench and placed a large bundle of handwritten notes in it, before sealing the folder and handing it to his shadowy minion. Handing a small golden object to the shadow, Bell said"Take the folder to him, that gold device will point the way."

With a slight screech of acknowledgment, the shadow scampered over to the wall and vanished into the darkness.

As the device turned off, Caeles Pondera stared at the map and silently removed a marker from one side, replacing it a few centimeters to the north. Stepping back, Caeles looked over the map, memorizing the locations of every symbol. "... So everyone is in place... it is time to begin our plan..." He muttered before grabbing his sword and walking over to a large desk in the center of the room. There was a slight sound like fabric tearing and Caeles swapped his grip on the gigantic blade he carried, swinging it around in an arc, the tip of the blade stopping in front of a small shadow like creature holding a folder. Looking at the creature for a moment, Caeles shifted his sword once he saw the small golden object it was holding and held out his left hand. The shadow moved forward quickly and handed over the folder before retreating to a wall and disappearing into the shadows once more. Dark rimmed eyes scanned the contents of the envelope as Caeles quickly read through the information. Finishing quickly, the tall mage placed his sword on the desk and then walked over to a filing cabinet and stored the files.

Waving his hand over one of many disc like objects on the desk, Caeles waited for a moment before it cleared and then commanded simply, "Begin."

3 hours later the English Sanctuary was attacked by a small group of mages...



(Not the best post, but it sets things in motion...)

Skulduggery and his sidekick were reunited after Xieas had left and Proxy had released a string of colourful words because he still had the rubies. There was nothing to do there, so she left using a teleportation spells with one of the various gems she had. Now back at her apartment, she lay on her bed, staring at the dark blue ceiling, tired but sleep wouldn''t come. Proxy got up and opened the wardrobe, inside there weren't any clothes hanging on hangers but a neat set of drawers filled with wooden boxes and pouches of gems in half of them and clothes in the other. Sitting on top of these drawers was a picture of a young woman and a dark stone on a red pouch. "At times like this I wish you were still alive," Proxy smiled sadly, "You were always the fun one. Everyone misses you, espcially Skul-boy." She drew a smiley face, =P, in the thick layer of dust next to the picture. The stone glowed, "I'll take you for a walk then." Proxy slipped the stone into the pouch and tied it to her belt.

After a while of wandering round aimlessly, Proxy found herself standing at an old park surrounded by trees, the old training ground. She smiled, the memories of the good old times flooding back to her. It disappeared as fast as it had come when there was movement in the shadows. She turned, swiftly, "Who's there?"
(yeah......I couldn't really think of anything)  

[Alisa Chatoyant]

(Lets see if i can come up with anything...)

Lurid Macabre was mingling in the shadows. At times like this when she was bored, and someone was standing under the shade of a tree, lurid would use the shadows to her advantage and scare the living daylights out of them, it was a strange form of entertainment, but it was fun. She scanned the park, looking for her next 'victim'. It was a poor substitute for assassinating, but it was the least she could do. Scare people instead of killing them.....how boring. Getting chased by the cops for burglary and a missing body was much better than this. Her eyes fell upon a girl standing near the old training ground, next to a cluster of shadows. Swift and silent as a gazelle, she slinked into the shadows, getting ready to jump out, - or something along the lines of - but before she could, the girl swung round. Lurid froze. This couldn't be right. Know one ever saw her. Ever. "Damn it." she muttered. She was about to slink out, to make it seem to the girl that she had seen nothing, but the more Lurid looked at her, the more she realized that she was different. Tightening her mask and making sure that her hood was pulled firmly over her head, hesitantly, she stepped out.  

[Gray Shinigami]

"Now," Proxy asked politely but cautiously,"Who the hell are you?" Her grey eyes examined the masked hooded figure, the way the person's maigc aura loomed around them told her that they weren't to be underestimated. Something about the person's magic or just the person themself, put Proxy off a litttle, there was something about them that just seemed disturbingly familiar, dark. Proxy slid Buki carefully from her belt, ready in her hand.  

[Alisa Chatoyant]

"I am Lurid Macabre." she said, taking a little bow. "And who..." she said, looking her up and down curiously "are you? You saw me, that's not natural." she cocked her head slightly, frowning. "Your different. And i don't like it."
