NPF Avatars: The Journey of a lifetime

[mauve]

Mauve grinned, hearing Krylo's plan. Using the raw power of a schizophrenic angel and a slightly homicidal mage girl to recharge the mod bracelet? Madness! Beautiful, possibly suicidal, MADNESS!

"I'm willing to give it a try," she said. She slid off the plushie's saddle and rolled up her sleeves. "Anything involving me blasting something with everything I've got sounds like fun to me!"

She held out a hand towards the wires of the bracelet. He asked for it.

"Any non-immortal types might want to give me a little room," Mauve advised cheerfully. "There's a slight possiblity of Mega Kasplodeyness. Also a slight possibility of getting splashed by carnage." She didn't specify WHOSE carnage.

Krylo finished adjusting the bracelet, and Mauve grabbed the wire. She frowned as a noob came dangerously close to her. Luckily, it was beheaded by.. somebody... She'd lost track. But this could be a problem.

"Hey," she said to the general populace. "Once I do this, I'm gonna be weak from magic loss until I have a second to restore my energy. Krylo or Ecurt or somebody, wanna watch my back so I don't become the next non-Toastburner casualty? I'd appreciate it."

Without waiting for a reply, the mad grin returned to her face and Mauve let everything go. Pure magic energy poured from the mage into the wire. After a moment, she began to feel a little lightheaded. It wasn't often that she weilded her powers like this. This had better work.

[The Wizard Who Did It]

"Mesden, that was completely unnecessary. My God (Raiden, in case you didn't know), how can you think things like that?" The Wizard then turns to Spiffy, "There, there. I'm sure Mesden didn't mean that..." Yeah, from what I heard from Raiden, she is a wuss and a sissy! Shut. UP! Please. Don't hurt him. He might get better. Someday.

The Wizard then turned to Mauve. "Quite impressive. However, as the saying goes, anything you can do I can do better. Also, if you guys would defend me like you cared if I lived or dyed, it would be much appreciated."

Magical energy suddenly flew in all directions, seemingly with intent to kill. The Wizard grew pale, and his body started to shiver, as though he was very cold. The energy suddenly diverted to a point right in front of the Wizard. It started to culminate into a point, which began to collapse into itself. The Wizard looked like he was dying. His muscle gave away to the bone. In the end, the energy shot forward to Krylo, powering up his Modding abilities. The Wizard then began to collapse, his energy exhausted. Everything started to go black, and as he fell into unconsciousness, he heard a small voice in his ear. That clever bastard! He left me nothing to work with!

[mauve]

Mauve, still funneling magic into the bracelet, looked down at Twiddy's fallen form with a sneer.

"Show off," she muttered. "My method might not be as pretty, but at least I'M still conscious."

Her eyes flicked back to Krylo. She was feeling a little shaky now, so she slowed down a little. Slow and steady leaves you conscious.

"How're we doing, Krylo?" she asked.

[Truce]

Quickly dismounting from his plushie as soon as Twiddy began to falter, Ecurt picked up the wizard by his robes just after he had kissed the ground. With a little bit of trouble (After all, unconscious or not, Twiddy's body could do some crazy things by itself like...well, explode. A lot of things exploded around here after all.) he placed Twiddy onto his plushie and secured him on the saddle, making sure that he wouldn't accidently fall off.

Then he looked over to Mauve and nodded to her. Even if she couldn't see him, it was more of a sign to everyone else that he would watch over her, just like he would watch over Twiddy. "The rest of you go ahead to the Mashirosen Tower," he said. "I'll make sure that nobody here gets hurt. It shouldn't be too difficult, since the bannination should take care of a lot of them."

[POS Industries]

POS could only applaud this masterpiece.

Seeing Arhra in Ecurt's new armor made him realize why fate put him here. Like a sign from the gods, it was, and as much as he had been regretting rolling out of bed so many minutes ago, he now knew that it was all for a reason. Not only was he the proud owner of several million dollars, but their best hope for survival rested in one fine woman in a sailor fuku.

Life was good.

Ignoring the nails-on-a-chalkboard antics of McSpiff, Pedro followed the plushie mounted Ecurt and continued discussing his plan. "I can assure you that you wouldn't be working on this alone. My company, POS Industries Inc, specialized in all sorts of engineering tasks, from electrical work to advanced mechanics. The whole reason I came to this city was that we had been contracted to upgrade the Mashirosen power grid. There was a problem with spikes becoming evident in the power flow. It was a good job, but not enough money to save the company in the end. I'm a good, um, salesman, and a decent engineer, but business management is not exactly my forte. Did get me 20 rep points, though."

POS gestured at Twiddy's wrist as they arrived at his location. "And right there is what we can use to construct our router system. Easy as pi. But I'm not leaving without you or the router system. Besides, I wanted a show, and I'm getting one!"

[Krylo]

As Twiddy and Mauve poured in every ounce of there energy, the mod bracelet reactivated. Wires suddenly shot out of it and ground down into Krylo's arm, connecting themselves to his nervous system and integrating into him comlpetely. Normally doing this on such a limited power supply would be suicidal, as once it was integrated only it could remove itself without causing incredible trauma to the nervous system--and if it was powered down without being removed, the user experienced serious sensory and control problems.

Almost immediately Krylo's vision altered into a HUD view, completely navigateable with but a thought. As he looked around strange numbers appeared next to everyone, registering where they had entered the city and how. There were also accesible files next to every person allowing Krylo to look into their pasts if he chose, to see if they had commited any bannable offenses (or just to watch the last time they had sex), and even controls to retroactively alter reality by altering people's past actions.

Unfortunately, Krylo didn't have time for any of that. Quickly his view changed to "BAN Mode." Various targetting hubs appeared allowing him to select specific forms of targetting and bannination. IP ban was selected before he could even read his options, and he quickly targetted the IPs around all the newbs.

He then glanced over to McSpiff as his temper tantrum was just winding down, and with an afterthought added him to the list.

As he did so, every newb, lurker, and McSpiff--even the corpses of the fallen--turned red in his vision, and then the damning thought came: 'Ban. Confirm.'

Immediately red beams of pure energy escaped from Krylo's mod bracelet. Hundreds of thousands of beams, each one colliding with a target, freezing them all completely. They couldn't even voice their last concerns as their bodies turned completely red for a moment, and they were locked in a temporary stasis.

However, a permanent stasis may have been kinder, for a moment later and their bodies began to filter away, like a .gif file loading slowly, except in reverse. Soon there was nothing left of any of them. Not even the blood and corpses remained, and the portals from which they arrived were shut down.

A moment later, just before Krylo could start the shutdown sequence, the power of the mod bracelet--or, perhaps more accurately, Mauve and Twiddy--was depleted, sending his body into horrible spasms. He fell to the ground, convulsing as his senses were overloaded and he lost control of his muscles. His left hand slowly rose up, twitching horribly, and then sunk down onto his mod bracelet, gripping tightly.

The hand jerked away, bracelet still in hand, ripping wires out of his body that had made their way all the way up to his neck and the base of his spinal cord. Blood and muscle came away with the wires, splashing the ground, and Mauve.

He laid silent on the ground for a moment before his body regenerated and he slowly stood back up, and placed the bracelet into his pocket, breathing somewhat heavily.

:stressed:

Pyros smacked Premonitions with the flat side of his flametongue, also setting the afro on fire. Strangely enough, whatever forces that powered the afro caused the flames to make the afro bigger, until it exploded back into a perfectly normal sized one.

"Hurry up with that mass bannination. I could kill them all, but it'd weaken me. And I have no desire for Raiden to catch an early edge against me."

Upon the other character's admonishing of Spiffy, PyrosNine picked up and dusted off the tiny cat-man. "Hey! Be nice to the little guy! He's special!" He got on one knee to deliver some sage advice to the tiny cat anthromorph.

"Yes, it may be designed poorly, and can't possibly protect as well as it should. And all of Ecurt's creations are doomed to bite him in ass or fail at one point in time. But consider it's skimpy design. And consider that it may very well fall to pieces with ease. Then consider the fact there is a sexay chick underneath it. Then it becomes all the more appealing, no?"

Pyros watched the Mass-Ban. It was devastating, but his own destruction would forever be greater. And no one technically died, as they were all sent to Hoboken. Of course, Hoboken wasn't exactly heaven on earth, and many considered the place worse than death anyway. Pyros then saw McSpiff fade away as well.

"Krylo, You dick! I actually liked him!" Pyros then kicked the weakened Mod.

[mauve]

Mauve slowly looked down at herself. Spots of red stained her pink robes. Sighing, she brushed a long string of muscle fibers off her arm.

"Three RPGs in a row, Krylo?" she asked wryly. "Aw. You really do care." It had become sort of a running gag: In every rescue adventure she had been in, Krylo had found some way to shower her with carnage. This was the first time that he had managed to donate his OWN carnage to the cause, though. She rolled her eyes and went to work pulling bits of Krylo off herself, but then her energy left her and she fell to her knees.

"Damn," she muttered. "You'll be getting my drycleaning bill."

[Krylo]

Krylo pulled out his forty four as he deftly grabbed the heel of Pyros's kick, intercepting it, and unloaded all six shots toward his face at point blank range, before throwing the foot back. The mod popped open his chamber and let the empty casings cascade onto the ground before slowly and delibrately reloading. "Firstly... Just because I'm recovering from pain you can't possibly comprehend, doesn't mean I can't still move just as fast as normal. Secondly, He was annoying and useles. And, finally, you're the only person who liked him," Krylo said as he clicked his now filled chamber closed and tucked the revolver away once more.

"Now let's stop dicking around and get this over with," he intoned as he walked over to Mauve and offered her a hand, to help her back to her feet.

[Incendius]

The mass ban spell worked to a monumental effect, quite simply, all the invaders in the city were gone, for now. It was eerily silent in the city of NPF, for there was not one sound in the distance, not even that of an explosion which would be so commonplace. The lack of sound was even more disturbing then all of the things that had ever happened before in your lives combined, even the stealing of the Kurosen. Yet again, the GM fiat voice resounded in your head Good, you have all passed the first test, now come to the Mashirosen, the path shall be relatively clear
