Supernatural/Crime Thriller RP

[Scorpio]

"You again?"

The same demon I met when I first came here. I holster my weapons. If he's just here to talk, that's all he wants.

"The worlds going to hell in a handbasket. A group of devines just attacked us. You know what's happening or how to fix it?"

[Rakk]

"Why yes, it is me, or at least the earthly shell that holds my being. And I am here for business, and strictly business. Whatever you types do with your time is none of my concern, I prefer and have always preferred to work alone. But of course I may need your help for a few things to stop the coming end of eternity and the banishment of our realm into either a stagnant pool of nothing, or for it to be torn apart into chaos by the Great Old Ones who consider this nothign more than a play thing."

Ry'ach is given somewhat strange looks as though they had somethign sour in their mouth.

"Long and short of it okay. The Divine Army is mobilizing. I suspect that they are currently opening portals to 'paradise' as we speak to bring their full might to bear. Why you may ask? Me. For the last many millenia I have been running and hiding from my former organization. At one point I even turned to the Old Old Ones when times were the bleakest. After a long period of servitude I split form them, realizing they were nothing more than oppression of another kind.

As of right now, one or more of the Old Old Ones, or Great Old Ones have taken root in the city. We have maybe six hours before they can begin to project their will and power. Right now, chaos will follow their seed. Chaos goes in their path if you will. And I suspect that they have an on plane focus, someone powerful enough to hide what they were doing from me for this long." Ry'ach said.

Jake spoke up, "And that involves us exactly how?"

Ry'ach continued, "I was just getting there, You are involved because the Divine Army, and/or the Divines as a whole think you are serving me. I heard that straight from the lips of Metatron, just before I hospitalized him and made my way here. I also had to dispatch his personal guard, but that was nothing some voice could not handle. And wy do I need you, one, that you will have the advantage of knowing when the divines are coming, and two I need to bring back the only being in existence who could reverse all this. But when I find and summon them I will be weak afterwards and during, so I need protection. If your wondering I will pay you well if you want monetary compensation."

Ry'ach extends his hand, "Will you save the universe or let it burn down around you?"

Jake gave a looked like he was mulling everything over, Ry'ach just added a last small bit to it, "That is the short version. Believe me there is a lot more I will need to inform you of, but that will take its sweet time. We do not have long. We have about fifty or more divines entering the lobby from the garage. Think quickly."

[Delacroix(Rei)]

I look at the Demon and then Jake.
"I say fight." I say to them, phasing my Scythe into my hand.

[Scorpio]

"Why not?"

I grab one of the swords and the daggers from the dead angels.

"At least I'm making a profit."

[Khallos]

Chezzy, perfect timing as ever, would come through the door, moving quickly through the trashed apartment with the air of someone who's lost something, stepping over a few incapacitated "visitors" to rummage down the back of a smashed sofa. "Have you guys seen my keys? I need to find them before the Auditors arrive, I don't want any looters getting to my..."

he paused a moment, looking up and blinking at the angelic bloke.. and then frowned, pointing a finger. "What are YOU lot doing here?! Back in your cage!"

[Kan]

I make it up the stairs with spear in hand and my machete in it's holder on my back.
I notice people talking about something, and I recognize the voice of Jake and Kammie.

I press myself against the outside wall of and room and slowly creep to the door. As I am a few feet from the door that Cat guy appears out of no where and smiles at me, then he just goes in.

"Damn that guy is disconcerting" I mutter as I continue towards the door.

[Rakk]

Ry'ach looks at Jake and Kammie, "Well I suggest that we get out of here as quickly as possible. I really do not want to deal with fifty divines right now. We can leave them to the others circling our conversation like vultures."

Ry'ach walks out onto the balcony as shouts can be heard from the stairwell, no matter how well the hotels soundproof their floors they are still too noisy to Ry'ach.

Just before Ry'ach takes flight, "I also suggest to hit the air really fast, as they must have some watchers down below. And those bastards are fast. I'm going back to my house to gather my supplies its due west from here, you can't miss it if your a non-mortal or a non-divine."

Ry'ach takes a slight running start and flys off quickly.

[Delacroix(Rei)]

I look at Jake then at the Demon.
"Well, We better follow." I say, levitating above the ground by a few inches.
"Come on, I don't wanna miss him." I say as I raise my legs and the air pulsates and electricity forms around my lower body.
"Try to keep up." I say as I break the sound barrier instantly.

[Scorpio]

"Man, I gotta learn how to do that."

I swoop off the balcony following, not fast enough to catch up, but fast enough to evade notice down below.

[Khallos]

OOC: Sure, Ignore the cat ¬.¬ Pfft, Nevermind, I'm not actually doing anything plotwise at the mo anyway

[Ty]

Just then, Justin's cell phone rang. When he picked it up, he heard Darius' voice on the line. Or rather, he thought it was Darius. The voice sounded deeper and more erratic than he remembered. In fact, it was almost unpleasant to listen to, like metal fingernails scraping a metal chalkboard.

"Sir... where... are you?..."

Justin told Darius where he was and what had just happened with Jake, Cammie, and Ry'ach.

"...Follow them..." Darius said, his voice sounding worse than before. "I will... be along... shortly..."

There was another unsettling scraping noise, followed by a loud clank. Then the line went dead.

[Kan]

OOC:Double post
IC: "What the hell is with him?" I wonder out loud.
I walk into the room and find it in ruin, shaking my head I walk out to the balcony and watch them fly off.
I look down from the side of the outcrop and wander how the hell I could catch up to them, until I had an idea.

"Man is this doesn't work, I am gonna be dead" I mutter as I step up onto the railing.

OOC: would it be to much for me to be able to levitate myself with telekines?

[Khallos]

OOC: Umm, I think so >> Where did you get TK from?

[Kan]

OOC: read a few pages back, the pendant thing, it should be around the time I stuck your guy with the spear.

[Ty]

OOC: I'd say it's fine.

IC:

Darius stumbled forward as best he could. He felt like his body was ten times heavier than before. Probably because it was. Slowly, he started to get used to the mass, moving at a sort of lurching gait. He shuffled out of the alley onto the street. With each step, the ground trembled slightly. As he turned to move down the street, he stopped and caught sight of his reflection in a storefront window, and he was surprised by what he saw.

Darius now stood ten feet tall, plated in bronze. His rapiers had been melted down and reforged into a single enormous sword, still bearing the holy enchantment that his old weapons had.

Remarkable, he thought. But I think people will take notice if a ten-foot armored construct is wandering the city. I hope my magic will start working again soon.

Darius watched his reflection, concentrating hard. After a few seconds, his form started to change. It took much longer than usual, but he finally managed to take his nondescript human shape. He was still a little tall, but not unusually so. His sword was still enormous, though, and he looked ridiculous trying to carry it in one hand. He tore some cloth off his cape and made a makeshift rope, then secured the huge sword across his back.

Perfect.

Darius turned and started down the street. Even in his altered shape, his steps were still rather heavy, and he couldn't move faster than a brisk walk. He looked up and saw something flying in the distance. He didn't recognize it, but he did recognize Kammie and Jake giving chase. Darius strode after them as best he could, but it was obvious that he wouldn't be able to keep up.

Come on, Darius. You can do this. Focus.

Darius started to chant an incantation, but his voice was still warped, almost to the point that he couldn't be understood. His voice sounded like a car wreck in slow motion. As he chanted, though, he started to feel lighter. Gradually, he floated up into the air. At first, he only hovered slowly above the pavement, but he began to speed up. He glided up into the air, continuing his metallic chant as he went.

[Scorpio]

"Aw jesus, this is too slow."

It's apparently now easier for the people without wings to fly. I'm having trouble keeping up with Kammie and the demon. If only I could get somebody to help me out. Somebody with reality control...

".........the last person I want to see right now is that stupid cat."

[Kan]

Standing on the Railing I take a deep breath, which could be my last. I take a step off and fall towards the ground below, I concentrate with all of my might at holding myself in the air.

I feel my self slowing and then stopping, I look around, at the ground and around me and I see a large metal like being floating through the air, I dismiss it and begin to concentrate on pushign my self forward.

After being in the air for a bit it begins to feel more natural. I propel myself forward faster and catch up with Jake, being at I believe my top speed.

I look at him and smirk as I hear him mutter about a cat, "You and me both buddy" I say to him as I levitate next to him.

SCORP EDIT: Okay kid. I'm gonna have to ask you not to gain any new superpowers. Plus stop mastering them instantly.

[Rakk]

OOC: Scorp I have wings... I have mentioned them several times.

Flying through the air was easy, the hard part was not using too much power and attracting all the divines while guiding the others.

Looking back Ry'ach saw that all the divines had converged on the hotel room, only finding an empty space. Their leader was definitely pissed, that much was obvious. Ry'ach could just make out one pointing in their general direction before the rest ran out to the balcony and took off in different directions around the general gesture.

Well they know we are gone now, guess I don't need to hold back.

Ry'ach moved his wings into a gliding position as everything except him seemed to slow down, almost to a crawl, all he had was a blur of lights, then when he crossed out of the city a gaping hole of black.

Ry'ach was nearly to his manor, his spacious estate hidden to all mortal eyes, but almost a gaping sore thumb to all non-mortals and somehow shielded from the first glance of a divine.

To Ry'ach part of it was a pure stroke of brilliance. Instead of going to the trouble of making it invisible to the eyes of the divines or mortals he just warped the reality around it to make them see whatever they expected to see. And in a setting such as this, it was usually scrubland and desert.

Still flying he stretched out his sneses feeling for the Divines and the others location.

He sighted both Jake and Kammie, and several watchers who had spotted them finally, but then he felt others unaligned to either him or the Divines. One mortal, one pleasantly not a being he both recognized and did not. At least twelve divines were following, the rest were seemingly on their way, except a rogue group heading off in another direction.

I will need to check up on them later... could they have heard of the Old Old One? No, Divines can't sense them when they are that low. I must find them later.

Ry'ach turned and found a comfortable location, removed some of the captured souls, and spread their dust to the ground.

"I make this donation to you, Yahweh, in hopes of freeing the world from the tyranny of evil men and evil gods. May your strength flow through the ground as it flows through me. I will find you, and I will bring you back. And then we will have come full circle."

Spreading the dust along the ground it slowly turning into a state where it was both liquid and solid he let it absorb into the ground.

Looking up into the heavens he was struck with a brief glimpse of the location of Yahweh. But only so briefly he could still not ascertain its exact position. And there Ry'ach waited for everything to come full circle. He only needed the others for long enough to find it.

[Kan]

OOC: I did that just to smite you scorp
IC: I lose my concentration for a moment I start to fall from the sky, I find myself unable to concentrate and looking at the ever approaching ground coming to greet me.

"Oh crap* I say as I try to stop myself.

OOC: If you would wait a moment you would have seen what I had planned Scorp.

[Ty]

OOC: You mean 'spite'? Anyway, it's not really a new power. He had telekinesis since pages ago. Floating yourself in a sort of pseudo-flight is one of the chief benefits of that ability.

IC:

Darius saw Justin suddenly falling out of the sky. He flew toward him as fast as he could. He got to Justin just before he would have crashed onto a rooftop. He mentally uttered an incantation, and Justin slowed in midair just before landing on the roof uninjured.

"Sir, are you alright?" That's what Darius tried to say, but the sound that came out didn't sound much like speech. It sounded like someone jamming silverware in a garbage disposal. Even though he looked human, he was still made of metal. Darius shook his head, then muttered a incantation. A soft, ghostly voice suddenly arose from him.

"My apologies, sir," the voice said, barely audible. "My ability to speak has been hindered by my new form. However, I may still communicate with ghost sounds."

[Kan]

I shake my head and look at the guy, "Darius?" I ask as I get up.
"Ghost speak huh?" I swipe some dust off my arm. "Ok then lets go, I'll need a boost to get started" I say as Darius changes back to his metal form and picks me up and throws me into the air, "Thanks" I yell as I concentrate hold my self in the air, using the momentum from the throw I float towards the reaper, Jake, and the other guy.

[Ty]

"I am at your service," the ghostly voice said, fading out at the end.

Once Justin was airborne, Darius returned to his full size and shape, then took flight again. He had managed to get a hang of the flight spell, and though he still wasn't very fast, he was able to adequately keep up with the others while he was going top speed. Plus, dispelling the disguise made maintaining his speed much less taxing.

Darius looked behind him and saw the divines in the distance. Some looked like they were heading toward them. Not wanting to waste energy trying to speak, Darius flew alongside Justin and pointed back toward the divines.

OOC: You know, Scorp, I find it funny that you got on Justin's case for suddenly being able to levitate, but somehow, my guy suddenly acquiring magic flight is perfectly okay. I have a decent reason for it, but I never really said it.

Also, I might have missed a few relevant posts, but am I correct in assuming the divines are basically angels with metallic-looking wings, swords and such?

[Scorpio]

ooc: I thought you could always fly to some degree. After Cleon threw your ass out a window.
and yeah, metallic wings, swords.

ic:
I get a good sighting of the Demons destination. But it's hard flying towards it.

I get this nagging thought in my head.

This place doesn't look much, let's just go elsewhere.

Some sort of perception filter? It keeps people away, but not by force, but by suggestion.

I focus on other things as I head towards it. Pushing any other thoughts back.

[Rakk]

OOC: Well as the resident guy who made up the divines, yes they are the epitome of the classic "good" but more evil... think like the CIA. Just with large metallic, or natural wings (depending on where they rank), all use swords and the like which are magically summoned.

Many different types, but the regular footsoldiers have the metallic wings, and the swords. I could write several pages on them, as they are my creation. Scorpio has met my long back stories and organization divisions.

If you see a divine with natural wings, be afraid, be very afraid.

[Delacroix(Rei)]

I sorta feel woozy and I shake my head.

"Ry'ach right? Why does my head feel cloudy...?" I ask as I glide right next to him.

[Khallos]

The Chief Auditor was thinking to himself as the horde advanced, trailing Limbo behind them as they did so, the ring slowly closing. He always wondered if the mortals - or even the Myths - could see them. They certainly always acted panicky when they were around in force, but then again, they were only called upon when there was some kind of emergency... so maybe it was just them.

In any case, the wall of Grey was slowly but surely advancing towards the epicenter of the disaster, which, to his great annoyance, was moving. So it was a mobile being, then.

If anyone COULD see them, they would have become rather noticeable by now. It was if there was a Grey filter that advanced in front of them, a vertical wall of... mundaneness. Just the way they liked it. And, Of course, there would be the massive crowd of auditors attracted to the Call, now stretching out several miles behind the front line.

He wondered if they would get there before the whole thing burnt itself out. Probably not, he mused, but that wasn't really a bad thing.

[Kan]

I Notice myself drifting in thought and in the air, I shake my head to clear it and find myself 10 feet lower and off course. I lift my self back up and I look around until I see Jake, seeing him still On course I decide to keep on him to make sure I dont lose my focus again.

[Ty]

Darius turned back to look behind them again. The divines were still approaching, but faster now.

It appears we have been spotted... Darius thought.

So far, Darius did not know what the divines were after, but he guessed they weren't looking to make friends. He didn't plan to engage them if he could help it, but just to be on the safe side, Darius drew his enormous sword and held it at his side, ready to use it if necessary.

[Kan]

I hear the heavy metal that was Darius move and I turned and look towards him, as I do this I see a small group of odd looking angels heading towards us, most of them had metallic wings but one had regular wings, like Jake. "This day just keeps gettin better don't it Darius?" I shout to him.
