Operation 13 | [Video/Action]

[Private Action - Early Evening; Heavens Court 4004]

[Even since that report about the contaminated water supply, Gale's been a little on edge. He'd wondered for days why some of his things were missing - specifically his pilot suit, mask, device and a couple of spare outfits (that all looked the same because Gale preferred the same style of clothing). Since his roommate had vanished, Gale had originally suspected that Dante had pulled a prank on him, seeing that the devil hunter still had access to the apartment if he ever felt like dropping by. But... he wasn't exactly expecting to get the answer from that news report, and especially not an answer like that. That meant he had a double running around, and if he knew himself at all, that double could potentially be very unpleasant.

He was sure to check After Life and Hangar Queen for his other half, but both places were just as Gale had left them and there were no signs of any issues. Even when it came down to their money, the accounts were normal, so he could at least take some refuge in that. Depending on what could happen... well... they might need it after this is over.

After a routine check with the two clubs, Gale had returned to his apartment and took particular notice to his two dogs more excited than usual. They got excited whenever he got home, but today seemed a bit different in that regard. Which immediately gave Gale a bad feeling. Quietly shutting his door, he made his way towards his room and peered in, only to get snatched by a particular purple garbed man and pinned to his bed. Gale gave a blank stare, finding himself face to face with his grinning masked other self.

He knew where this was going.]


... Uh oh.


[Gale - Video]

[Well, if anything came from that earlier encounter with his double Orlok, Gale managed to successfully snatch his device back. It was a good thing he knew that pilot suit inside and out and that Orlok was too distracted to have noticed the pickpocketing. When the feed comes on, Gale's hair and Hangar Queen uniform were all messed up. He straightened his sunglasses and he cleared his throat, trying to come off as nothing happened.]

Thank Alruene I got this thing back from him. So, I hate to be that guy with the PSA, but if anyone happens to come across a particular asshole that looks like me that's wearing a purple butterfly mask, uh. Mind letting me know? I need to get that guy under control before he does anything stupid. And I mean stupid with a capital S.

Please keep your guard up if you see him. Being my other half, he's a bit of a loose cannon and that's never a good way to describe a cyborg with magic.

If found, please kindly return to Heavens Court apartment 4004. Preferably not dead. I kinda need him.


[Orlok - Action - Night; Any city]

[That cheeky other half of his actually managed to steal their device back. That's annoying. He was comfortable knowing that Gale was left in the dark when it came to the network and had hoped he'd be able to ride that out for the whole time, but he should have known better than to doubt himself. A mercenary's got plenty of tricks up his sleeve, even if Gale was the more do-goody side of him. That's what he gets for returning to the apartment so snatch some crystals and mess with his other half, he supposes.

But, since the whole thing about the separated halves with public knowledge, the last thing he wanted at this point was to get caught if a remedy were to be made. His freedom was more important than anything, and god knows he'd been cooped up for far too long. It felt like that freedom had been lost since they arrived in this place, what with Gale happening to follow the law. Since when was that a thing?

He needed a place to hide away. And potentially a plan to ensure that Gale didn't take that remedy, but he'd think of that after he gets a place to hide. So, he lurked the back streets of each of the cities, but he wouldn't end up leaving without having caused some sort of a ruckus. Bad eggs did tend to hang out in the back streets too, and some of them happened to make the terrible mistake of picking a fight with a cyborg. And it's quite possible that they didn't live to tell the tale, either.

Eventually, Orlok would end up in Everglade well into the night, a new plan crossing his mind. Surely an ex-employee of his would be happy to help her former boss, right? After he was so lenient the whole time she worked for him?

Regardless, he would eventually end up in the Everglade Guardian's office, and casually chose to lounge on the desk until the Guardian would make her return. Chairs? Who needs 'em. It's easier to relax (and pose) on a desk, any strewn documents be damned.]


[ooc: Orlok can be encountered at any time, in or out of the backstreets, but please be aware of how he may act!]

Grell's Desk

[Reading while walking, Grell gracefully manages to not bump into any walls or people as she held a few documents in one hand, and a mug of tea in the other. She had missed the broadcast Gale made earlier about his other half, so it's no surprise that upon opening the door to her office and finding whom she thinks is Gale lounging on her desk, Grell is relatively...surprised.

There is some blinking and looking around to make sure she opened the right door. Yep, definitely her office. Grell steps inside and closes the door behind her. Gale doesn't visit very often, so this must be important. There is a welcome smile for him, because he's one of the few people she likes.]

What a lovely sight to see~! [She closes the distance before setting her mug down on what space is available on the desk.] Get off my desk, Gale.

[But maybe she doesn't like him enough to let him sit on her desk. That's her job!]

Orlok - Genessia City

[personal profile] swordprincess 2017-01-21 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[It's rather late in the evening as Karla finishes her patrol of the city. As she heads home, she passes by one of the back streets and spots some bodies in the road at the corner of her eye, prompting her to do a double take. Instantly suspicious, she quietly drew her sword and began to step slowly towards the bodies, just in case the perpetrator was still lurking about.]

Orlok-Near Everglade

[personal profile] anewhero 2017-01-21 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Evening turns into late night as Marcus, a human turned cyborg terminator was walking wearing a trench coat with red on it. In Everglade of all places.]

[The cyborg eyed the pile of bodies nearby but it wasn't his fault they were laying there.]

He continued to walk hoping to blend into the night.

[personal profile] swordprincess 2017-01-21 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Suddenly seeing the body slam against the wall in front of her made her flinch, as she gripped her sword even tighter. As she pressed on, she spotted the familiar purple trim and walked more briskly, trying to get a closer look.]

...Who's there? Gale...?
swordprincess: (Ponder)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2017-01-21 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Something immediately feels off. She knows that Gale's always been so casual, but with all these corpses around? She thought he'd be more serious.]

I'm just finishing my daily patrol. Although I could ask you the same question. What happened here?
anewhero: (marcus)

[personal profile] anewhero 2017-01-21 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Marcus turns and swears he's being watched far away and he tried to get closer to the glowing source in the darkness]

[A creature would be on Marcus right away only to notice he wasn't human. Bad move by the creature. The human terminator grabbed it and kicked it against the wall making sure it didn't move.]

"Who's THERE?!" he tries to catch the other cyborg's attention.

[Marcus inwardly groans]

"... Sure, pal... "

[He walked toward the bright light cyborg]

"Nice bright colors, attracts the wrong crowd real fast."

anewhero: (Default)

[personal profile] anewhero 2017-01-21 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Marcus lifted a eyebrow]

"Heh, boredom does come fast around here."

[He's been a bit more busy with things, but he has time to be bored too]

"The "wrong crowd"? You don't know the half of it, pal. "

[It must be his jacket that made the other cyborg think that.]

"Yeah, i was a criminal type at one point."
swordprincess: (Ponder)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2017-01-21 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
I see...but did you really have to kill them?

[As Gale addressed the person still moving, Karla held out her arm.] Wait...

[She approached the figure on the wall, kneeling in front of him.]

What happened here?

[Might as well get both sides of the story.]
redcinemareel: (Grell: eyes and teeth)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2017-01-21 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
That's because I didn't say it.

[She'd be more inclined to draw and quarter him, really. Grell just rolls her eyes with a smile at his new pose. Casually, she leans in with one hand on the desk, and the other reaching into a drawer for that riding crop.

With one good whack to the top of the desk with the riding crop, giving him a smile that could either spell his doom or fantasy.]

Please get off my desk, Gale.
swordprincess: (Not amused)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2017-01-21 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
[When the man loses consciousness, Karla rises to her feet to face Gale with a cold glare.]

I do believe you. I just think you took it too far.
swordprincess: (Wandering)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2017-01-21 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
What...?

[Her glare is suddenly replaced with a perplexed look.]

Knocking them out would have been just as effective. You don't want to sink to their level.

[She pauses as she tilts her head, now looking concerned.]

What's gotten into you? You seem...different.
swordprincess: (Ponder)

[personal profile] swordprincess 2017-01-21 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[If she had seen the reports about Nova City, she still wouldn't have suspected that Gale was affected by it.]

You do know that death isn't permanent here.

[Somehow she has a hard time believing him. Regardless, her expression softens, and she lets out a sigh.]

Right...I'd better get home and loosen up myself...
