[IC] TotMV:G2: The Battered Hero


Chevaleresse

Recommended Posts

The Hellfire Knight turns to finally reply to Eon after the small fiasco that had just occurred. "I have misplaced my cloak; I am afraid I left it behind when we first began fighting, and I would rather not reveal my true appearance." She silently thanked herself that her helmet didn't fit so snugly that the voice changer did not; the mech did not have the same functionality, though it wouldn't be impossible to add it.

 

As Mar pushes open the door, it creaks open, revealing another room that looked much like the first ones they'd encountered, save for a much higher ceiling and pillars, with intricate scrollwork at the tops and bottoms, stretching from it to the floor. The walls were lined with tapestries depicting battles in a foreign land, and there was an ancient-looking carpet leading to a slightly raised platform; a throne room, save for where the throne itself would normally be. The seat in that location did indeed look like a throne, with a tall back and gold trim, but in front of it was a keyboard and an array of levers and other controls, with monitors raised above them, all on stone stilts that wouldn't have looked out of place if not for the things they supported.

As the orc pushed open the door, Edmond hesitantly followed.

"Excuse me, but I don't think I know your name? I was wondering if I might have, or at least take a look at one of those pieces of plate armor which you obtained?"

"Naturally, If you have use for them, take whichever ones you like, and return what you do not use.  My name is Mar, the Elder Hunter of Stonerist Chi."

 

Mar Opens his satchel, allowing them to peruse and draw from it.

 

Mar Rolls up the carpet and Checks behind all the tapestries.  this place looks secretive enough to hold even more secrets.

Alexandria releases Kyle, pushes past Mar into the room and sweeps it with her scanning equipment.  "If we're pushing forward, let's at least have a proper marching order.  My senses are probably the best here, and I'm not as squishy as you meatbags.  Visrii?  If Kyle tries to kill himself or some of us again, do me a solid and slap him please.  If I do it myself he'd probably die.  Then confiscate his weapons.  He's had two strikes already.  He does not get a third."

Mar finds little of note behind the tapestries themselves, and the carpet tells a similar (lack of) story. They appear to be little more than fine decorations. However, what's on the tapestries themselves is a little odd; like many works about battles, it appears that many of them are supposed to take place in open fields, yet a disproportionate number feature a castle, many in the background but with some having it as the focus of the work.

 

Edmond and Alexandria would likely recognize the panel in front of the throne, if they inspected it closer. Alexandria would probably pick up that there was a fair amount of machinery around them, and that much of it seemed to hook up to this point.

"Nice to meet you. I actually don't think I'll be needing anything for now."

He approached the throne with measured steps, and took a closer look at the controls.

"I can't say that much, but these appear to control some for of mobility? They seem to be motion controls for a vehicle of sorts."

Eon:

 

"Is that right? Well I won't judge you for trying to conceal your appearance, though I do wonder if its truly necessary," Eon paused a bit before continuing. "You are a capable fighter; your appearance matters little to me in terms of my opinion of you. Still though, if its important to you, I'll help you find your cloak if you wish."

Edmond turned from where he was standing to glance at the tapestries around.

"So...is it possible with magic or advanced tech for a castle to move like a tank? It seems odd that the same castle would be in all of these tapestries..."

The armored fighter shakes their head. "It was left behind near the gate; it would take too long to go back and get it." They fall silent for a few moments, as if thinking, and then begin to follow the group into the next room, firing their jets and lifting off the ground slightly as to not make an enormous racket as they stomped around.

Alexandria considers what she overheard, and pulls one of the tapestries off the wall.  She deploys a needle from her right index finger, prints some thread with her nano forge, and starts stitching a simple cloak together as she examines the control panel for a usable interface.  "Kyle?  No buttons until we discover what they do."

"I wouldn't..."

He stopped. There was no real point in trying to stop this gleeful idiot. He tried another tactic, though he doubted it would work.

"We have allies who are willing to help us in caves nearby. Don't try to drive this thing until we know whether they are still there, alright?"

"That seems..fine, I guess, if it really comes up. I just want to wait and make sure our allies are alright. Speaking of alright...you do know you have a hole in your stomach? A pretty big one? You might want to get that looked at..."

Edmond's concerns would quickly be assuaged as the set of doors behind the group creaked open again, revealing a blonde-haired man with a cigarette smoking in his mouth and several unexpected strangers. "Well, I see you all fucked up whatever was making all of those Heartless show up, or at least scared 'em off. I found a few other random people wandering around so I figured I'd throw 'em at you." 

 

Halley, Isobel, Kenta, Argent, and Leon are now in!

 

"What the hell is this place, anyway? Looks like a castle but that tech doesn't belong in something this old. And there was no goddamn castle out here in the first place."

"It seems like some sort of vehicle? I suppose that means you can try driving this thing now then."

Edmond stood next to the man, just as a precaution to hopefully prevent him from hurting himself. He did strain his ears to listen to the newcomers' names as they introduced themselves.

"The machine producing the dark creatures was carefully disassembled by myself and the others."

 

"I suppose it is time I dive back into the art of magic.  I shall be of more use with that power once more in my hands."

 

Mar, seeing things have calmed down, takes a disc of glass in his hand, and begins focusing on it, trying to channel mana into the glass to attune it to Light Producing Mana.

 

(17, 20) Unfortunately nothing happens.

 

"I am truly out of practice."

 

He takes the time to continue meditating, getting a feel for the energies within.
