Academy of Villains: Now With 200% More Multiverse [IC]

[New Antonalia]

"Clearly this IS your idea of foreplay." Johannes said, worried for a second that she'd snap his neck. "Now please get me down from here. When I make love, I prefer to do it in between sheets, not floating three feet of the ground."

" Make love? Please, don't use that phrase. What I do has NOTHING to do with love ", she said, placing him down. Taking off her overshirt, a few scars were visible on her shoulders. " Now, I'm safe, so don't hold back, or I'll break your neck for real. " She smiled genuinely at thought.

"You are crazy." Johannes said, still panting. "I'm surprised that I'm still alive after a session like that." He got up and got dressed into his usual business attire, reloading and holstering his pistol and pulling his poisons and out some very sensitive equipment. "Now, please leave, I have work I have to do."

Karl approached her slowly, crouching down beside the screaming girl.
"I'm sorry," he told her, softly, feeling genuinely upset for what he'd done, if not for the reason he'd stated. "I knew this would upset you."

"Gods..." Mattie said, following the blurry outline of the girl. "I pull someone in out of the cold, and this is the thanks I get? I'm not that ugly you know."

[The Dystopian Isles of Frisct]

Dante was thinking while chasing the blur, and came to the conclusion that it wouldn't appear all that friendly to chase someone like this, so he decided to just stop chasing her. Dante stopped running and resumed wandering around the airship. There were places he recognized like the hallways with their rooms, and places he didn't recognize, which he probably shouldn't have been wandering around in. Dante resumed his search for people once again.

[Kractero]

Luna continues to run through the winding halls with her enhanced agility, trying to lose the two guys who were following her. She notices two people talking at the side of the wall. Still invisible, she pulls him around, hiding behind him.

Venus did not react to the disturbance. She had taken note of his awkwardness. "Yes, I do manipulate love," she says as the mysterious invisible figure moved James.

The door was unlocked, but as soon as Jazz heard the door opening, she holstered her sonic pistol and took out her Desert Eagle, aiming it directly at Coilin. "Stay back," she stated calmly.

Coilin pointed his own gun at her, smiling. "I don't need to get close to hurt you, lassie."

"I know of your abilities," snapped Jazz, as a couple guards who were at the end of the hall moved to take Coilin away, her gun still trained at his head.

Coilin pointed his own gun at her, smiling. "I don't need to get close to hurt you, lassie."

"I know of your abilities," snapped Jazz, as a couple guards who were at the end of the hall moved to take Coilin away, her gun still trained at his head.

Coilin lowered his gun and shot at her kneecap, while simultaneously using his telekinetics to move her gun away from his head, using the moment of surprise to allow him to do so.

"And I can see you don't know me. Because if you did, you'd know not to threaten my Morrigan." he said quietly.

Jazz reacted quickly, flipping backwards and landing on the desk, firing a shot that blew up a chunk of the wall behind him. "The next shot isn't going to miss if you don't leave," she said, as the guards started taking him away. So, I've just had a punishment interrupted by someone in a goddamn wheelchair... I really have seen it all.

Derek made his way to the VTOL without saying a word to Venus. He was somewhat between calm and furious on the inside, but on the outside he appeared to be composed, even if there was some mysterious aura of unreadability around him. He sat down on the metal bench, twirling his knife.

Oracle took Lance's blow with her shield, falling backwards as the tip of his blade sliced into her cheek. She hardly flinched though, and she held her shield up in a defensive posture, waiting for the next hit.

He jumped back once his blade managed to strike her cheek. His mind was clear. There was only one thing he was focused on, and that was winning. If he failed, they would be trapped there. If they wanted to keep them that is. Within seconds, he lunged forward again, preparing to strike.

Karl approached her slowly, crouching down beside the screaming girl.
"I'm sorry," he told her, softly, feeling genuinely upset for what he'd done, if not for the reason he'd stated. "I knew this would upset you."

"Gods..." Mattie said, following the blurry outline of the girl. "I pull someone in out of the cold, and this is the thanks I get? I'm not that ugly you know."

A few blue flowers spontaneously wilted, all their petals falling to the floor at once as Poppy writhed in the throes of her physical and emotional pain.

Coilin lowered his gun and shot at her kneecap, while simultaneously using his telekinetics to move her gun away from his head, using the moment of surprise to allow him to do so.

"Don't you dare hurt him!" Raven screamed, and left her defensive position to attack.

The second strike shredded through Oracle's energy shield, cutting into her arm. She cast another spell, this one forming a protective bubble around her that appeared to be made from hex shaped cells of energy.

Jazz saw this as the right time to use the dart, throwing it at Raven when she moved to attack. This better work... Or the Professor is in for a demotion.

[CoraSpia]

"Come on," Kadus said, joining Karl next to Poppy as the plants continued to wilt. "Do you want to go to the infirmary? I think you're suffering from shock."

((OOc: I've got to go for the night, I think.))

Venus did not react to the disturbance. She had taken note of his awkwardness. "Yes, I do manipulate love," she says as the mysterious invisible figure moved James.

"Oh, well that's certainly interesting." James says, still sounding nervous when talking to Venus. He briefly looks around and his gaze lands on the odd disturbance behind him"Also, by the way,,plee come out, whoever is hiding behind me. I can tell you're there. Whatever it is you're running from doesn't seem to be here right now, so it's alright to reveal yourself."

If he played his cards correctly, the fight would soon be over. Sadly, he may not be the victor. Magic is something he was familiar with, and he knew it's weaknesses. The problem is, he is only familiar with demonic and angelic energies. As shield formed around her, Lance gritted his teeth and charged once more, sending strike after strike.

The problem is, he is only familiar with demonic and angelic energies. As shield formed around her, Lance gritted his teeth and charged once more, sending strike after strike.

The strikes seemed to weaken the shield until it finally collapsed, and Oracle lay on her side, as if she was defeated. And then it happened. She sat up and fired a blast of energy at Lance that was seemingly powered by the force of a thousand suns, one that was too large to easily dodge and that burnt brightly enough to cut through armor. All the energy that had went against her was being redirected at him, and she was hoping it would be enough to win with that one move.

[Sabor]

Dominic had followed Marissa and James, keeping relatively quiet. He was more interested in learning about this place and the people here than letting them get to know him, at least for the time being. His eyes were cold as he shuffled his cards absent-mindedly, watching each and every move the others took, learning and waiting. The grey-skinned boy with the purple hair sighed quietly, realizing this place was more complex than he had originally thought. Leaning against a wall, he ran his hand through the shadows of his coat, pulling out a deck of cards made of pure shadows.

The dart struck Raven in the chest, and she stared at Jazz with clear fury in her eyes, moving closer--

And then she collapsed.

"Come on," Kadus said, joining Karl next to Poppy as the plants continued to wilt. "Do you want to go to the infirmary? I think you're suffering from shock."

((OOc: I've got to go for the night, I think.))

Poppy couldn't even respond. She was in so much pain. The plants dying around her, the turmoil in her mind...

She hadn't been in so much pain since her last 'session' with Flint.

Whatever it is you're running from doesn't seem to be here right now, so it's alright to reveal yourself."

Slowly, Luna began to ripple out from her stealth, revealing her hand at first with a wave before the rest of her body became visible. She fixed her hat.

"I-I'm sorry," she says, timidly.

She looked slightly confused. "Name? My parents called me Luna. The labcoats called me Experiment 004, bitch, slave, among other things." She clearly did not know what those things meant. "Are they here?"

James quickly thinks ' Labcoats? An experiment? These are all very intriguing, when I get to know her better I'll have to ask about it. Seems like Lucy has a pretty dark past.

" I think I'll just call you Lucy if that's alright with you. Also, who's they? As far as I know, there's no one else here except for Venus, me, and you."

[Archembalt]

And so the boy from Bloomington, Indiana was with his own thoughts. Here he was, in Assembly Area C, awaiting debriefing -- whenever that would come. A shower had not greeted Orson since he had returned to the Jupiter, his face and tattered clothing still stained with splotches of Abrir's blood. Orson's eyes chose a spot on the wall to solely focus on as he stood up patiently, hands in his pockets. For some unknown reason, it would seem that he didn't mind his battle-worn appearance all that much. Indeed, Orson had not developed any qualms with the state of his apparel wrought by the brutality and destruction of the last Eta mission.

Yet the events that had unfolded within that power plant were still reverberating throughout the space of his psyche. He remembered the bodies, the torture and castration of Abrir, the lack of inhibition demonstrated by Raven, Zayne, and Mattie, and, most of all, he remembered the searing pain of the shrapnel shards piercing his young body.

Orson, as he is so used to doing, let out a sigh -- a ragged, resigned sigh. Shades of exasperation complemented the other two emotions as well.

He started to establish a list of people that he knew mentally, and then began to assign them to his own personally defined sectors.

People who seem 'nice': Dante and Amar, and that agent who offered to let me accompany him back at the plant.

People who I more than likely cannot trust: The rest of the student body until I can engage in more conversation with other people.

People who I should primarily avoid: That ninja assassin girl, the furry guy, and the -- There was a break in his train of thought when he attempted to evoke some image of Zayne in his head. -- the guy with shadows.

His mouth released another sigh afterwards, his eyes now drifting across the room he stood in, Assembly Area C.

Things had been moving far too quickly for him. He patted himself on the back for at least overcoming some of his fears, especially after witnessing a showdown between two eldritch horrors in the main hangar of the Jupiter. He had spoken with another peer, someone closer to his age. That was a plus. However, after his interaction with Dante, being exposed to the fact that most people here have killed an abundance of people came to a bit of shock. No, no. It wasn't that an academic system meant to train villains held individuals who had committed mass murder was abnormal, but what bothered him was that those closer to his age had already wiped dozens of other human beings off the face of Earth. Orson was concerned. The only living thing he had killed was a deer, and it was just a test of his power. Its neck snapped like a twig in his semi-corporeal, psionic grip.

Was he really cut out to be a villain? He came off as being too soft and he knew this. Orson wasn't particularly inclined to join an Academy of Heroes, however. He wanted something different . . . Something which seemed entertaining. Given, this was an entertaining experience to him. The sense of misplacement crept into his mind slowly, but he battered it off so that it remained at its respective distance. Waiting would be far more . . . beneficial. Perhaps, he could have left whenever he felt that the 'curriculum' of the Academy became too overwhelming, but he brushed the notion aside. The administration might be tempted to send agents after him -- only, this was what came to his mind. He wasn't too sure himself.

[i]Everything will be fine.

I hope . . .


And so he stood, waiting . . . in Area Assembly C.

Coilin lowered his gun and shot at her kneecap, while simultaneously using his telekinetics to move her gun away from his head, using the moment of surprise to allow him to do so.

"And I can see you don't know me. Because if you did, you'd know not to threaten my Morrigan." he said quietly.

Jazz reacted quickly, flipping backwards and landing on the desk, firing a shot that blew up a chunk of the wall behind him. "The next shot isn't going to miss if you don't leave," she said, as the guards started taking him away. So, I've just had a punishment interrupted by someone in a goddamn wheelchair... I really have seen it all.

Coilin glared at each of them.

And then started probing into their minds for their worst fears, memorizing them, determined to torment these guards for months on end.

He didn't want them to have a second's rest.

[Kractero]

She looked slightly confused. "Name? My parents called me Luna. The labcoats called me Experiment 004, bitch, slave, among other things." She clearly did not know what those things meant. "Are they here?"

" I think I'll just call you Lucy if that's alright with you. Also, who's they? As far as I know, there's no one else here except for Venus, me, and you."

Her eyes get wide. "Lucy? And they are the labcoats."

She breaks off into a near perfect imitation of the chief overseer's voice. "Okay, missy. We have a traitor for you to test your power on. We still haven't injected in that last syringe. You missed a test tube. We need another building built, slave. We still have not tested your reproductive systems, we must resume the tests! I have a hypothesis of cross-species intercourse, now it's time to test it."

Her voice returns to normal, timid and fearful. "Are they here, James?"

[Unified Free Lands]

Derek walked into the assembly room, sitting down next to Honor near the back of the room and opening a folder about his next mission. "You're with me by the way, we have another mission pretty soon and I have to bring someone else with me. Just stay out of my way and you'll do fine."

Before Honor could ask about the details of the mission, Question himself walked in, clearly frustrated. It was also clear that he was really unhappy if he had personally attended the debriefing instead of sending one of the teachers. "Let's get down to business," he said, folding his arms. "What was the reasoning by the team when you all broke concealment and abandoned the main goal of the mission?"

Meanwhile, the guards both groaned even though they kept pulling him away. "The Professor better hurry up with making those mind shields," one of them muttered.

Jazz closed the door and locked it, before moving back to Raven and lifting her up. She checked to see if the girl was still awake or if the poison was a bit too strong... The punishment wouldn't be much of a punishment if she was sleeping.

[Arstotzkas]

Her voice returns to normal, timid and fearful. "Are they here, James?"

" Luna I meant. Sorry, I kinda messed up there." In a comforting tone of voice, James replies "Luna, it' OK. This is a safe place, no one is after you right now. I promise that everything is alright, the people that you're afraid of aren't here right now."
