Yu-Gi-Oh Roleplay Episode 1: Heartland Homicide [AFTER SCHOOL]

[Zechs]

Dominic was overjoyed at Adams' willingness to answer his questions, but the fear that stayed in the back of his mind came to reality when Flagstarr stopped the answers given away, and the two started to walk elsewhere. Dominic couldn't let Adams, and the information just go, but before he could think of something, he heard his message tone, and read what Setsuna had sent, "That means she didn't forget the janitor!"

Putting his phone away, Dominic set his next objective up in his mind, but before he started his run, he noticed one of his classmates, "Gen, I think.. Is he here for Tenjo, too? So more students got the same desire to find this whole thing out, huh?" Turning himself toward his direction, he waved at Gen and walked over to speak with him, "Voi! What brings you here, Gen?"

(Important Action: Get 2 tickets for Arial and Rene); Arial, Lady at the Ticket Counter

As it gets to Rene's turn in line, the lady at the counter asks him if he wants tickets. He replies, "Yes, two tickets please."

Rene gives the lady at the counter the required money to purchase both tickets. He then turns to Arial and says to her, "I got the tickets for both us. I still wonder what is bringing a lot of people here today."

[Cyaloom]

To Blair

Monika noticed the girl slowing down and asking something to her.

She immediately responded: "Yes, I have just left the station... For some reason there's a lot of people and everyone is incredibly busy now. Also, lieutenant Flagstarr was not there, but at the central square, so I think I'll go there. Now, what about you? Where did you go before coming here and what did you discover?"

Monika never talked to Blair at school, and didn't know much about her, and now she didn't want to stay with her for so long, as she wanted to hear news from Arial and Rene, Zander or Arthur, or even Roy (who instead decided to Duel in the police station). But she also had to get to the central square and talk with some other members of the police

"Are you going to Central square?" Monika asked. "well... I have to go there too, so we could get there together."

((posted before waiting 6 hours because I'll have to go to sleep, and I have no important actions to do now, so I don't want to make anyone wait; I hope it's alright))

{Important Action i guess}

Standing up from her seat,Charlotte took out her phone to check what the time was and saw that she still had plenty of time left. Turning around she started walking on the path that led her out of the park and waited for a Bus to take her to Central Square since she lived in that area. After a few minutes,the bus arived and took her to Central Square but as she stepped out,a few police officers where around for some reason. Wanting to know what's up,she walked up to them and greeted them.

[Red_Chaos]

Important action =B

Red grabbed her head in pain. Her brain felt like it was going to exploded. All the pressure started to mess with vision, everything around her was fading black. Then Red saw Will in the corner of her eye. His lifeless body was on the floor. Red struggled to reach Will, but slowly she fought through the pain and stood over His body. Red scream at Anne. WHAT DID YOU DO TO WILL? IF YOUR PISSED AT ME, COME AT ME!

Red forced her way slowly in pain towards Anna. Each step becoming harder as Red forced her brain and body forward.

LEAVE...(breath) WILL (breath) ...ALONE...

[DarkLight]

{Important Action: Ask What is Going on; Rene}

Arial was stuck in her thoughts trying to figure out what the commotion is about that she forgot all about the tickets. Luckily for her, Rene is still sensible and bought them already and got her attention. She gave him a grateful smile and tapped him on his forearm. "Thanks buddy, I'll pay you back once we get inside. As for what's going on..." She practically almost skipped as she turned to face the ticketholder. "Pardon me, Miss, but can I ask why there is such a huuuuge line today? I haven't seen any promotions about a new exhibit or anything..."

[Dragon God Goomy]

Dominic was overjoyed at Adams' willingness to answer his questions, but the fear that stayed in the back of his mind came to reality when Flagstarr stopped the answers given away, and the two started to walk elsewhere. Dominic couldn't let Adams, and the information just go, but before he could think of something, he heard his message tone, and read what Setsuna had sent, "That means she didn't forget the janitor!"

Putting his phone away, Dominic set his next objective up in his mind, but before he started his run, he noticed one of his classmates, "Gen, I think.. Is he here for Tenjo, too? So more students got the same desire to find this whole thing out, huh?" Turning himself toward his direction, he waved at Gen and walked over to speak with him, "Voi! What brings you here, Gen?"

Central Square (Dominic)

Gen also waves on Dominic as he goes near to his location.

"Hey, Dominic. So what did you get from the police? I'm about to ask them also, but you beat me to it."

[TurboAura]

(Klive)

"Sounds like a plan." Robert followed Klive back to their bikes, thinking over where they were headed. 'The town center does make a lot of sense, especially now that we have no idea where any possible leads would be. Mr. Tenjo WAS found there after all...' He let the thought sit in his mind as they finally got back to their bikes.

------------------------

[important Event]

After having to ride all the way from Arclight Industries, they had finally made it to the center of town.

Edited March 25, 2015 by TurboAura

[Chevaleresse]

Blair shrugged. "Nothing. I was occupied." She thought for a moment. "I was going to the station but I don't think I will any more. Would you like a ride?" She scooted forward on her bike. There was more than enough room for another person to fit behind her on the seat.

(whether you accept or decline, bunny us to the square; that'll be an Important Action)

[Commander]

Luna heard Lanes little comment towards her being a trade. "Hey, I'm not that bad. I haven't burned a building down in over a year thank you very much. Also, I don't mind cleaining dishes or scrubbing the floors for the day, but if you wanna try and solve this with a card game, be my guest. It's probably better that way because you don't seem to have the figure to work a maid outfit."

[Cyaloom]

Important Action - with Blair

"That's ok for me... Now let's go to Central Square!" said Monika. She still had her skates on, but it shouldn't have been a problem.

"We're going to the square; it shoudln't take long, and, maybe, there could be more classmates investigating there... or what else could there be?

Anyway, after this is done, I'll have to to talk again with Roy, who is still dueling in the Police station..."

Monika was just thinking about all of these things, as she was about to hop on Blair's motorbike.

[Tomas Elliot]

The newest Recap Post is here! So much for paying attention to university lessons...

Pixl

Anna (or rather, the illusory image you are seeing) doesn't seem to appreciate your words.

"Please do not compare me to magic-wielding mortals, it' rather offensive. The mere fact that this message is capale of answering your question should prove to you that I am, ah, a little more than that. And yes, if you are seeing this message it means that you stepped into a restricted area, but of course I cannot tell you why it is restricted: if I took the time to set up an Illusory Field, it means that I didn't want mortals to stick their nose in it, and from this it logically follows that, if I told you what it is that I don't want mortals to see, it would pretty much kill the point of setting up an Illusory Field, don't you agree?"

The image smiles, of Anna's usual, enigmatic smile.

"Illusory Fields work on a need-to-know basis: if you are being rejected, it means that you don't need to know what's inside. This being the case, there is literally nothing left for me to do, bar erasing your memory and making you wake up someplace safe. However, since I found the way you defied me to be mildly entertaining, I'll reward you by allowing you to keep one single memory of this encounter. So, what will it be?"

1) The memory of talking to Anna
2) The memory of stepping inside Tenjo's office
3) The knowledge of how Illusory Fields work

[[to clarify: option 1 will allow you to remember that you talked to Anna, but you won't remember the circumstances nor the location, and you won't remember what she said either. You will siply remember that Anna has something to do with your missing chunk of memory. Option 2 will allow you to remember that your missing chunk of memory begins with you stepping inside Tenjo's office, but you won't remember Anna being involved, nor will you remember about Red being there. Option 3 will not allow you to remember anything, you will simply retain the knowledge of how Illusory Fields work (they are traps set in specific locations, that subject unwanted people to various illusions to drive them away, erasing their memory in the process and operating on a need-to-know basis). However, you won't remember being subjected to one, you won't remember Anna being the one who set them up, and you won't remember the fact that there is one of these Fields in Tenjo's Office.]]

Jory and Tacos

The irritation of the samurai-esque person seems to grow.

"I am very sorry, but I fail to understand how knowing my reason for being in town would help you save human lives. It is my oath to always be polite and respectful to others, but frankly you two are really putting my endurance to the test and, considering that you didn't even have the decency to introduce yourselves, I fail to see why I should endure this any further. Besides, I have places to be, so please excuse me."

And he walks away, leaving the hotel! What will you do?

1) Take the chance to furtherinvestigate the hotel
2) Run after him, trying to forcefully stop him
3) Silently tail him and spy on him

ExLink

The cop seems surprised of your offer.

"Uh... What? N-no, I am not a duelist! Please put away that thing, if Lieutenant Flagstarr sees it we will both be in serious troubles! You see, she hates duels and duelists, and she thinks that this whole 'duels decide everything' theme this city has is something utterly ridiculous... So much so, in fact, that she openly refused to look into the theory according to which professor Tenjo's death would be linked to illegal duels, despite there being strong evidence in support of this theory! So please, if you are a duelist, please leave now..."

The cop politely drives you away, but at least you learned something...

ExLink obtained Info: "Tenjo's death was indeed linked to illegal duels"!

Having learned this, you find yourself in front of the police station, with nothing to do. How should you put your newly acquired info to fruition?

[[you are free to roam about now, possibly looking for another event. However, your next post will NOT be an Important Action]]

Cyaloom and King Murdoc

"Don't you even think about that, young lady: you cannot carry a passenger at your age!"

Shouts a voice, which is of course referencing Blair's offer to Monika. As you turn around, you see that the voice belongs to a tall, mildly attractive woman, who is followed closely by that Adams guy who is always trying to be helpful around the city!

"I am Lieutenant Flagstarr of Heartland's Police Department"

she says, showing you her badge

"I am not going to take action against you because I didn't actually see you carrying a passenger, but seriously, don't. It is against the law at your age, and it doesn't even seem you have a spare helmet for your friend here: the last thing I need right now is a couple of pretty girls who got themselves killed in an accident! The case I am investigating is already complicated enough!"

What will you do?

1) "Sorry ma'am, we won't do this again."
2) "Flagstarr, you say? Aren't you the one in charge of the case of our professor's death? We saw you on the newspaper..."
3) "Flagstarr, you say? Your collegues at the station were looking for you!"

Hiss13

You are starting to get annoyed at Dominic, he should have already arrived by now... But right when you are about to send him another message, a guy rushes out of the hotel, bumps hard into you, and uncerimoniously knocks you on the ground!

"Gosh, I am very sorry to have accidentally hit you"

Says the guy, helping you up, an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Because of two nosy kids I am late to an important meeting, so I was in a hurry and I didn't see you... My name is Ayatane Michitaka, who might you be?"

You look at him: he is dressed in what can only be described as some sort of crazy, futuristic samurai gear. His speech pattern is very polite, and he seems to be an affable guy, what will you do?

[[not giving you options this time, interact with him freely]]

Chimchain and Commander

"Oh? This is interesting... Yes, I would like to see an entertaining duel: Adam, come here!"

Jack smiles as he calls for his bouncer.

"Adam, duel this young man, and if you beat him, duel the girl: if both lose to you, you are free to toss them out of the pub, but if either defeats you, I will give them the info they want."

Adam grunts in approval, and grabs his Duel Pad: but as soon as Lane does the same, something unexpected happens... A blinding light erupts from Lane's pocket and envelops him completely!

Shocked, Lane reaches for the blank card he somehow obtained earlier in that morning, from which the light seems to emanate: as soon as he touches it, the light stops... But the card isn't blank anymore!

"W-what's going on? What's that card?"

Asks Jack in shock, and Luna seems pretty shocked too: but Lane cannot reply, because suddenly he feels an excruciating pain in his head, as if someone was branding his brain with a hot piece of metal, the way farmers do to cattle! And sure enough, when the pain stops, an image has been burned deeply in Lane's mind: a frightening image of a humanoid, feminine figure that shatters in the sky above Heartland, and the shards of that figure rain down on the city...

Lane obtained Izanami Lore #39: "The 108 shards of the goddess Izanami have become the 108 Number cards!"

What does this mean? Where did this knowledge come from? Lane has no time to think about it, because as soon as Adam sees the card, he screams in fear, pushes him aside, and flees from the scene!

"Adam!? Where the hell are you going?"

Shouts Jack. But Adam is already at the door, and is opening it to run outside...

So now Lane is still shocked from what happened: Luna, what will you do?

1) Bright-slap Lane and drag him into a pursuit

2) Leave him there and pursuit Adam yourself

3) Let Adam get away (you don't even know why th hell he is running away, after all) and focus on helping Lane get back to his senses

SilverJakler

Takeda seems genuinely surprised by your request.

"What are you talking about? I never heard such a rumor! I really don't... Wait a minute..."

The old man seems to have realized something.

"A few days ago, another person came here, asking the same question... It was a professor of your school, I believe his name was Robert Eppes. He wanted to know if I had heard rumors about Xyz monsters that grant mysterious powers to their owners, but I couldn't tell him anything relevant... Still, it would seem you have his same goal: how about asking him?"

SilverJakler obtained info: "The math professor, Robert Eppes, might know something about the mysterious cards"!

You don't seem to have any more business in the shop, so you thank Takeda and you leave. What are you going to do now?

[[You are on your own now, feel free to go somewhere else. However, your next post will NOT be an Important Action]]

DragonMasterKrim

You enter Heart Park. After going around aimlessly for a while, you spot someone who looks just like professor Eppes! He is entering some kind of tent: will you follow him and enter the tent yourself?

Darklight and Tails

"You came to the museum without knowing about today's exhibition?"

Asks the girl at the counter.

"It is an exhibition about games! There are a lot of objects that past civilizations used to play games, included some artifacts from ancient Egypt that are believed to be the precursors of the modern game of Duel Monsters! And there is also a section dedicated to the myths involving said games: the person who cured the exhibition, mister Ike Johnson, would probably be able to explain with more details, but he wandered off somewhere... He is a brilliant archeologist, but sometimes he seems to be kinda weird..."

So, apparently it would be a good idea to go look for this Johnson fellow, but there seem to be many things to be learned by staying at the museum and enjoying the exhibition, as well. What will you do?

Red_Chaos

Anna seems mildly amused by your efforts.

"Oh? I knew that mortals can overcome their limits by obtaining power from the bonds they have formed, but your relationship with this person didn't seem to be particularly deep or important... Still, it is enough for you to defy me? Or is there another reason why you are capable of doing so?

You try to react, or at least to retort something, but suddenly your body feels numb, you are losing mobility in your limbs, even your lungs aren't answering anymore: as you desperately gasp for air, chunks of your memory flash in front your eyes before being shattered, you feel your eyes tearing as the faces of your parents, your friends, the images of your past life at the farm, suddenly don't mean anything to you anymore. You see them but you cannot recognize them, your very identity is being torn apart, shattering under the fury of a power you don't understand.

"Tell me, little girl"

Asks that voice, from somewhere miles and millenia away

"Do you know why I am doing this to you?"

[[no options this time, react to this however you prefer]]

OmegaRa1der

You are about to enter the pub when suddenly Adam, the bouncer of the pub, comes running out of it and crashes into you! You both fall to the ground, Adam seems to be running away from something, you however are the first to get back to your feet: what will you do?

1) Ask him what the hell is going on.

2) Restrain him physically

3) Let him go

[[before you decide to restrain him physically, know that he is 2 meters tall and very muscular...]]

So a clarification: if Omega decides to try and somehow stop Adam and Chimchain and Commander decide to pursue Adam, they will end up meeting. In other words, Omega will end up joining Commander and Chimchain for the rest of the event (he will NOT obtain any of the info they might have gathered up to this point).

Similarly, if Jory and Tacos decide to go after Ayatane (aka the samurai guy) and Hiss13 decides to interact with him, they will end up meeting as well. So please people, be smart: contact one another privately and plan your next move(s) carefully before posting.

Kaito is now sleeping in front of Charles' house: Charles will be back by the time the next Recap Post rolls around, so Kaito, you just need to wait for that. Will you post something in the meantime? It's entirely up to you, but it won't be an Important Action (unless you decide to wander away from Charles' house).

Turbo, Dobby, Zechs, Vince, Eonic and RanenVolt are currently in Central Square, and they are not involved in any event: feel free to interact with one another guys, your next post(s) will not be Important Actions, but ehi, you can still share knowledge, decide what to do next, and whatnot.

And Azery, sorry but I have absolutely no idea of where you are right now: are you talking about the cops in front of the police station? Or did you mean Adams and Flagstarr? Because either way, there is no event you can join at the moment, I think your best bet is going to Central Square too, and interact with the other guys.

[Tacos]

{Important Action}

Zander sighed, deciding the guy probably wasn't anything special. He looked over to Andrew. "If you want to chase after him, you can, but I'm going to investigate the hotel further."

[Commander]

(Important Action/Lane)

For a minute, Luna couldn't help but be in awe at the flashing card. She always liked looking straight into flashlights when she was little so this was really no big deal to her. She still hadn't realized it was the card. Her mind refocused when she saw the bouncer run right out the door. No way was she letting that coward get away. She then saw Lane in a little trance. "Lane, get a hold of yourself," she yelled while bitch slapping him across the face. "No way am I letting that guy get away so easily. But first..." She picked up the bottle of cola and quickly chugged it down. "Alright I'm ready. Let's go Lane. CHAAAAAAAARRRRGE!" With a warning, she sprinted right through the same doors the bouncer had left.

[Jory]

{Important Action- Arthur and Zander}

"Right. Let's meet up later and talk about what we found." Arthur then took off after the samurai. What a jerk. It's not like he introduced himself either, he thought to himself as he watched the strangely dressed man from around a corner. Once the man was far enough along, Arthur followed. He made sure to obscure himself from the odd man's sight, but to any casual observer he would have been simply toward the exit of the hotel in the same direction. I wonder where he's off to in such a rush, he pondered. As he watched the samurai leave, the guy bumped into another student. I know her from somewhere, but I can't remember her name, he thought to himself. I'll keep watching and see what happens.

[Omega_Ra1der]

Dean asked Adam "What the **** happened here and why you are running away!?"

(To Gen.)

Dominic exhaled before speaking with Gen, "Well, to spare you from Flagstarr.." He pondered what Adams said before speaking, "Hrm.. Well, apparently there is a guy named Charles at Heart Park who might know about Tenjo, but, those two officers are heading there, too. If you do decide to go.." Dominic looking at Gen straight in the eyes before continuing, ".. Just be careful, man."

Dominic stepped back, looking around the city a bit, and let out a melancholic sigh. "Looks like this place has given me all it could. Time to meet back up with Setsuna soon, then." Pulling his jacket forward, he looked back at Gen once more, "So, are you on a search to find out about Tenjo, too?"

[Chim]

((Important Action / Jack, Luna and Dean))

Lane barely noticed that Adam tried to run away. His head still burned and the disturbing imaged flashed before his eyes. Until Luna slapped him across the face. Her loud actions snapped him back to reality as he followed his classmate outside while more and more questions swarmed around in his mind. Why did Adam run away? Why did his card do... whatever it did? What was that humanoid being? And most important of all; who was Izanami?

[Cyaloom]

With Blair - Important Action

"Don't you even think about that, young lady: you cannot carry a passenger at your age!”

As Monika heard that voice, she froze. For a brief moment, she was just motionless, stuck in the act of hopping on Blair’s scooter. Then Monika tried to recompose herself and stood up on her skates, trying to stand still. Such an embarassing situation… She wasn’t even stable and almost fell on the ground; it seemed that the woman, with her presence alone, made her forget how to skate.

The woman then introduced herself as Lieutenant Flagstarr; she was the person they were searching for. Behind here there was Officer Adams too.

”So, we didn’t go to talk with her, but she went to talk with us… While this will save us some time, she’ll have a bad impression of me because of this.” thought Monika.

After the scolding, Monika tried to reply, with aher usual soft voice: “Uhm… sorry, this will never happen again. But… you mentioned a complicated case you are investigating… Is that Mr Tenjo’s death? He was our teacher at Heartland High School. We wanted to come to the police station to know more about this, and we were told to ask information to you, but you were at Central Square. So we were going there to talk with you about this.”

But, what could Mrs Flagstarr think of her now? She was one of the most diligent students in her class, going out way too rarely, being very good at school, and now, instead, she was about to ride someone else’s scooter with skates (which added some “crazyness” to this situation) and no helmet!

Speaking of which, Monika had her helmet (for rollerblading) with her… as she was talking, she pulled it out of her bag and wore it on her head. It surely wasn’t supposed to be used while on the scooter, but Monika wouldn’t even get on it now. Using a helmet was strongly recommended even when using skates.

“Maybe Mrs Flagstarr won’t have such a bad impression of me if I wear my helmet while I am rollerblading… that aside, I just hope that she could help us.”

(Important Action)

Gawyn had wandered around for a while, hoping to find the Rob, when suddenly he saw him. The younger man looked alright, but he still had to find out about Anna. He followed him to a tent, waited for a second, and ducked inside after him.

[Hiss13]

<<Important Action>>

It happened in an instant. One moment, Setsuna was standing in front of the building waiting for Dominic (or at least a message from him). The next moment, she had fallen flat on her ass after being crashed into by a larger man in an eye-catching outfit.

Thankfully, the man was kind enough to help her up and apologized. "It's alright, accidents happen." She responded as she blushed out of embarrassment and gave a sheepish grin.

"My name is Setsuna Tsukimura. I was actually here at the hotel because I wanted to meet a man named Ike Johnson." She thought for a second. She didn't really want to talk about the illegal dueling rumor to someone she just met. So, she fumbled around hoping that her normally shy appearance would make it look like she was just awkward around people she just met. "I was looking into some specifics about Ancient Egyptian mythology and...I ran into a dead end so I was actually referred to him by an old friend of his. I was told he would be staying in this hotel."

[[since Arthur is tailing Michitaka, Setsuna would probably not notice him unless she was actively looking for him and since they're at the hotel entrance, she would likely not be able to see Arthur. Though Jory hasn't been online to fix his post after he made it so I can't say for sure.]]

[Azeria]

Walking around the area,Charlotte eventually came upon Dominic ang Gen. As she didnt usually interact with them,she decided to break the mold and start a small conversation."Um,Dominic was it? Yeah,I was wondering what was going on with those police officers?"She asked the blonde trying to at least get something done today besides getting in an argument with that stupid blue haired kid.

[Dragon God Goomy]

Central Square (to Dominic)

(To Gen.)

Dominic exhaled before speaking with Gen, "Well, to spare you from Flagstarr.." He pondered what Adams said before speaking, "Hrm.. Well, apparently there is a guy named Charles at Heart Park who might know about Tenjo, but, those two officers are heading there, too. If you do decide to go.."

Central Park (to Dominic)

"It seems you got a lot of info, but we should be patient and look who we are dealing first." Gen said to Dominic with a straight face.

Gen is about to look around for clues as Dominic turns around and asked a question.

"Yes, I am."

[tails12]

(To Arial)

"What do you think we should do?" Rene asked Arial after hearing about the new exhibition at the museum. He continued, "While it'd be cool to check out the exhibit, do you think we should find Mr. Johnson and see if he knows anything?"
