Single Thread RP The Terra

(Bright stands right beside Xueqing, a mix of wanting her to defend him and wanting to defend her.)
Xueqing looks at Bright for a moment and silently moves in front of him.

She's staring at Arentine.
 
She gets up and stretches, her long back arching up into the air, before scuttling closer to him and looking at the new arrivals warily.
He lazily extends a hand for head scritches.. such visible affection is.. odd. He’s not usually so keen on appearing friendly.

Song...keeping an even expression, stands her ground in the face of Arentine, nodding slowly...



"...Do you know anything about these corpses as well, knight?”
“The surviving locals mentioned this place, and its residents, were suddenly obliterated.”

“I wish it was my doing, I really do.. but I’m afraid it isn’t. Your guess as to what decimated this town is as good as mine.”

“… though.. if we do find the perpetrator to be… exceptionally gifted.. I wouldn’t mind them being left to me. I’m sure I can handle it.”


"...And what are you doing here exactly?"
Xueqing is a bit worried about something.
“Didn’t I just tell you? Perhaps you weren’t paying attention. I’m simply here to look for anything I might bring back to my empire, when I inevitably return home.”

“Perhaps.. you all might know where some.. high value individuals.. reside.. hmm? Hmhmhm..”

His pupils are little more than dots, a wide, unsettling smile piercing his thin lips.

Xueqing takes a deep breath.
“So, the explosion is caused by external force.”

“I heard that the external force might be an empire.”


Judgy, the tall skeleton sans ripoff, is just standing beside her, as casual as you can possibly see from a skeleton. He’s chill to the bone.
“mind if i tell some extra? no? i think it may be caused by some pig humanoid.”

I haven't seen a town this razed before... Whoever did it doesn't have good intentions.

Song...nods, expression remaining neutral.
<Well...at least he seems open about being a killer.>
<I don't want to be on his bad side.>

"..."
"We were headed east."
"Seems this is that Corpio town..."
"Apparently there's an empire of sorts due east as well, if you need a...souvenir to bring back to your rulers."

“mind if i tell some extra? no? i think it may be caused by some pig humanoid.”
The tyrant’s white eyebrows furrow, his grin slowly turning to a neutral frown.

“A ‘pig humanoid’. Might I ask where you pull this intuition from? I am rather curious as to the merit of your intel…”

“… if, however, you are correct.. I offer my aid. My conditions, however, are these.”

He raises a fist, flicking up his index finger.

“First, I am to land the killing blow.”

His middle finger flicks up to join it.

“Second, the corpse is mine to do with as I please.”

He raises his ring finger, tilting his head towards his hand, eyes narrowing ever-so-slightly.

“And third, you will question nothing.. simply remaining grateful for my help.”

He leans back a bit, crossing his arms now, a thin smile returning to his face.

“If you can’t allow me any of those.. you might as well walk away… and I hope we don’t come to impasse as to the fate of this culprit.. I don’t want any of you to get.. hurt. Hmhm..”

 
If you really want an answer... it's smaller than your average 2×1×1 (block) big chest, but rather a 0.6×size version of it.

Probably a trapped chest, though.
He does some quick math in his head, and then he begins to approach the chest, walking towards it while watching the skeletons to see if they move. (D20: 12)

"..."
Song looks over the tyrant and their lizard.
<...I smell foul play.>
<Yet, it's difficult to see how he could use these terms to his advantage...>
<...I'll let the others decide whether they want to take this deal or not.>


Song remains silent.

Xueqing remains cautious and silent.

After a bit…

“…I guess.”

He does some quick math in his head, and then he begins to approach the chest, walking towards it while watching the skeletons to see if they move. (D20: 12)
Nothing really happens, except that specific skeleton wakes up again, now walking to a spot, seemingly wanting to protect Birdius from something.

Solian watches the skeleton, keeping a bit of distance.

He claps his hands in a small motion, his grin widening as his eyes shut gleefully.

“Excellent! There’s just one more thing - ”

He slowly starts undoing his utility belt, shoulder sling, and back holster, his various weapons clattering loudly to the ground.

He bends his knees, wind whirling around him as he rolls his neck, it cracks loudly..
And suddenly, he’s gone, the ground around where he once stood fluttering at a sudden burst of wind…


… he’s in the air, falling fast, a gauntlet-covered fist punching down at Lin as he falls. (10)


“-To see if you’re even worth my time!”
 
He claps his hands in a small motion, his grin widening as his eyes shut gleefully.

“-To see if you’re even worth my time!”
“*gasp-* !!!”
[19, hell]
With a swift motion, Xueqing slides by the falling attack.
Oh god why are we picking up a fight now


MISS
The text, Deltarune flavored, pops out from her. She is conscious of that.
<Okay, what the hell now?!>
 
(Oh btw due to me being away from TCF completely overmorrow till Friday, Terra might come to a halt overmorrow.)
(Might have less time replying tmrw.)

Song...immediately jumps back to put some distance between herself and Arentine, a bit shook by the sudden attack.
<"Worth my time"?>
<What's that supposed to mean...>
<Is he actually going to try to kill her!?>
<...And me?>

He lands with a boom, the ground around him kicking up slightly as winds die down around him. Righting himself, he nods.

“Agile, very agile.. good!”

“Now then..”

He raises a hand towards Song, yanking his fingers towards himself through the air.

A potent cyclone blasts from behind her, trying to thrust her forwards into Arentine’s now-extended arm.. an exceedingly brutal armbar to the head, if it hits. (12)

“What, are the rest of you going to stand there and gawk?”
 
“What, are the rest of you going to stand there and gawk?”
Fragment responds to this by summoning both of their knives.
"If you want to get beaten up that badly..."
*=)*
"Then I'll gladly join this battle."

Roxas backs away a bit, less from Arentine and more from Fragment.
<I want no involvement in this>
 
Ossea appears to be thinking things out.
Most likely the best way could be a groin strike, I guess. Bait him in, let him get too cocky, then whip the tinkered gun right at their universal weak point. Looks dirty, buuuut...

Ossea is interrupted by her getting one bar in her AR display.
"Oh fin-DAMNIT!" And it fizzles away, connection disappearing again.

“What, are the rest of you going to stand there and gawk?”
Song, absolutely not expecting a cyclone from behind, gets blown forward and right into the armbar.
And yet, barely even missing a beat, Song twists in a sort of backflip as her head recoils from the armbar, landing on her feet, not really...dazed, surprisingly (D20: 2).

Song then backs off again, hand flitting to her katana.
...
She pauses, taking a moment to inspect Arentine's armor for chinks she could exploit with her bare hands or her sheathed blade (D20: 7), blade hand wavering.
<...What...>
 
Might as well, it won't hurt.
Ossea grabs the tinkered gun, of course the obvious telltale that it doesn't have any ammo is the mag container being in wrong shape and the firing part being far too rough as well.
She extends her hand and flicks her fingers close to her, as in to tell Arentine to try and fight her.
Okay, so... he comes in, I strike back. Should work.
