Love and Destiny - LOCKED to Ace "burnt_offering"

Posted by: fate_aspect

[It's midday in Fayren's Guardian Tower. Itherael is finished patrol duty, but the they're never quite off-duty. Daily responsibilities made up so much of their life for millennia; they can't help but putter around the tower a little while longer. There might be something else to do.]

[They've also found themselves indulging in something fairly new: curiosity.]

[It's curiosity that has them following the sound of a conversation in a nearby break room. Especially because that conversation sounds strangely one-sided. That's Ace's voice they hear, but where is the person they're speaking to?]

[The archangel slips into the break room, wing tendrils shifting slowly in a sign of intrigue.]

Audio: Drunk/Accidental Posting

[There are a couple of disjointed audio posts that come within a couple hours of each other. One has the sound of breaking glass and the sound of impacts. In one Ace's voice can be heard saying something that sounds like "Goddamn thing keeps-" but then trails off into nothing else before being turned off. Another has the sound of a roaring fire.]

Action

[Ace is on a pub crawl today, trying out drinks in all of the cities save for Somorrah. The special occasion? The loss of his brothers in Genessia. Ace knows he's fine. That they're better off back home, where Sabo won't remember what happened to him in that terrible place he was trapped in before this, and where Luffy can continue the rise to the top and become the king of the pirates. But he can't go with them, there's no back home for him now, and even if he could he'd lose everything else he's gained here. So he's sad because Sabo and Luffy are gone, angry because of how sad he feels, and frustrated in general at feeling like a toy on a string, dangled about for someone's amusement.

Alcohol is not an ideal cure for a heavy heart. But it's the best one Ace knows.]

[Video] Happy Hatchday?

[The screen comes on to show Qubine deep in thought.]

It's September...which means it's another hatchday for me. I've survived another year...which would be a much greater and more difficult feat where I come from. Somehow I don't quite feel as proud as I should.

[He's had much fewer beasts trying to kill him, and fewer battles to win just to stay alive. It's a strange feeling.]

Then again, it's always good to be alive.

Heh...I wonder if I'm starting to sound like Amadeus...

[Ace and Papyrus are standing together on a roof and both of them seem very excited. They've got something to show off, they're sharing with the cities the test flight of a set of beautifully made wings. They're intricately wired together, made of bones and feathers arranged with care and given structure with leather and metal. They're strangely beautiful, a labor of love that took Ace well over a month to complete. And Ace holds up his handiwork, before moving to actually strap them onto Papyrus. If all goes well, in Ace's mind, Papyrus will be able to fly with these wings by moving his arms like a bird.

This duo of genius is part of the force protecting Fayren. Feel safer, citizens.]

[Great minds think alike, for Papyrus shared the same vision. Naught but confidence and hope shines in his eyesockets as he holds the phone in front of him, taping this historic, groundbreaking event: the world's first flying skeleton.]

GREETINGS, GENESSIA! IT IS I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AND MY GREAT ACE-ISTANT!! TODAY YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE SOMETHING TRULY AMAZING: SKELE-FLIGHT!! IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A DREAM OF MINE, AND WHEN I SAW THE GREAT HERO HAWKS DO HEROISM ON WINGS, I KNEW IT WAS TIME TO REALIZE THAT DREAM!! NO BAD GUY WOULD EVER EXPECT THE GREAT FLYING PAPYRUS TO SWOOP DOWN AND NAB THEM IN THE ACT!!!

THANKS TO THE GREAT ACE AND HIS GREAT BIRD FRIEND MARCO, THAT ACT WILL BECOME FACT!

[He glides the phone from his torso to his sides, lovingly focused on every detail of his winged apparatus.]

I DONATED SOME OF THE BONES MYSELF!! OBSERVE THE DOWNY PLUMES. TAKE IN THE STICKY GLUE. MARVEL AT THE STURDY BEAMS! WITH THIS AND PLENTY OF EXERCISE ON MY PART, I'LL BE BOTH LIGHT ENOUGH AND STRONG ENOUGH FOR LIFT!!! AND NOW, LIKE MY POPULARITY, IT'S TIME TO SOAR!! BUT NOT FOR TOO LONG!!! I'VE GOT A GOOD FEELING THAT THE NEWSPAPER COULD ARRIVE AT ANY MOMENT! I CAN'T WAIT TO BE INFORMED OF ALL THE CURRENTEST EVENTS! UNTIL THEN, I LEAVE THE RECORDING OF MOMENTOUS, MONSTROUS MARVELS IN YOUR HANDS, ACE.

[He hands the phone to Ace like some hallowed baton of destiny. Without further ado, he sucks in breath, takes a few steps back, then takes a running leap off the rooftop. ]

NYEH HEH HEEEEEEH!!!!

[His arms are flapping overtime with that erratic, manic energy he pulls on in times of need. And it seems to be...working!? He's gliding, at least, gaining altitude. Maybe this isn't so stupid after all. His hit points remain at a healthy 680.]

IF I HAD A HOUSE I COULD TOTALLY SEE IT FROM HERE!!! OH LOOK, THERE'S THE PAPERBOY NOW!

...WAIT, DON'T!!! I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING! SHOO! GO AWAY!!

[He had not been in the world enough to know how vain appealing to the paperboy's mercy was. Not even the most masterful barrel roll could save him from what would transpire. With grim determination and a fierce countenance, the paperboy took out one rolled up parcel, cocked back, and fired. His aim was sure and absolute, like the terrible vengeance of God. Papyrus' path was struck as if by thunderbolt, sending him into a doomed tailspin.]

I'M HIT!!! MAYDAY, MAYDAY!!! BRACE FOR IMPACT!!! I'M GOING DOW--

[He was cut off with a crashing collision, right into the Ivory Tower. That should give the wizards something to talk about. His HP had seen better days.]

Dammit, no! [There's nothing else to see besides motion and blur as Ace takes off after Papyrus because this did not end well and he doesn't even have the mental faculties to think about turning the video off. His pocket eventually does the work for him, when the device is shoved in.

Sorry, he's got a skeleton to save.]

(OOC: Capslock is Papyrus, regular typing is Ace, either dumbass could respond or both.)

Further to my ongoing technical research here, I am asking for some volunteers for testing purposes.

I'm afraid that I can't offer you much information beforehand about this test since that could be detrimental at this phase of the development. Just know that it is completely safe for you to undergo this experimentation and there will be no harm or side-effects.

Let me know here if you are interested and I will send you the location to take part.

Good morning to those who were not murdered in their sleep by Mr. Mime.

[At this point, Gale was getting pretty sick and tired of hunting for these weird monsters that were around the cities. Sure, he loved the ones he's gotten so far, but he was well content on being done with it. How many do you really need? Plus he had other things on his mind anyway. Maybe that's why he kept dragging himself out, to keep himself occupied from the dozens of questions flooding his mind because of Aymeric's appearance. And now he has two of those master balls so he has to make at least one more trip out. But not today. Today he's at Garden Park looking pretty tired, and he's got a number of food containers with him. Delphox seems to be guarding them, while Gale is sitting next to them with his phone out.]

With the arrival of our... numerous new companions, I took to the library and located resources on food they prefer. [He gestured to the containers next to him and Delphox.] I've spent many an hour cooking a variety. If any would care to bring their companions to Garden Park to try some and pick some up, you're more than welcome. [A pause.] Do remember these are for Pokemon.

[He wasn't sure what else to say, but it almost seemed silly to only make a video just about offering treats to other trainers. He hesitated before shrugging.]

And for what it is worth to some, I am currently in talks for taking the "clubs" that my namesake left behind under my wing. T'is the least I can do for him, I feel.

[Fayren - Lioriley's Cottage (Private to Lioriley and Aymeric)]

[Gale had made several batches of the Pokemon food specifically for Lior, figuring she had quite a number with her between her own catches and Estinien's. And she put up with Estinien for this long, it was the least Gale could do in return. Not that he had any strong attachment to the guy (especially this one, the one from another timeline), but he had to repay Lior's kindness in some manner. Moreso since she played along with Aymeric's prank on the dragoon.

So he would eventually go to Fayren, with Druddigon and Delphox in tow helping him carry the food he made. It was... a lot... but Gale had spent quite some time in the kitchen and cooking. "Quite some time" translated into days, actually, but it's a good pastime and it meant keeping all the Pokemon fed.

Once he got to the cottage, he looked over his shoulder at Druddigon and Arden before adjusting the containers in his own arms so he could knock on the door with the back of his hand. Hopefully she was in, otherwise he'd have to either leave the food here with a note or carry it all back to Nova.]

[Have a young human woman sitting in the shade near one of the beaches in Fayren. There's a quiet smile as she looks out over the water and she speaks, voice soft and pensive.]

Of all the cities attached to Genessia, Fayren is the closest to my homeworld. Yes, the technology of Nova City is closer to what I'm used to, but the nature here is far more peaceful.

[She turns her gaze to the comm, resting her chin on a cupped palm.]

What worlds has everyone else here been to? Would you be willing to talk to me about them?

[She taps a button after that and makes the next part private to one Anakin Skywalker.]

I've been thinking. We haven't spent enough time together here. So I put together a lunch for us.

[She grins slightly and she teases him.] I found a nice spot far enough from the beaches, you won't need to worry about sand getting everywhere.

[Upon his arrival, Mysterio was in full costume, looking like Thor, Dr Strange and Iron Man rolled into one. Now he appears on the network in regular clothing - a brown sweater and tan trousers - looking elegantly casual.]

Hello again.

I have had some time to to explore and familiarize myself with this world and I'm impressed with the technology here - at least in Nova City. It's far beyond what I've seen before yet it's also lacking. That's why I am going to work for and with Aster Technologies and we can combine our knowledge to do great things.

Now, I know, I introduced myself as Mysterio when I first arrived and that is indeed a name I am known by but let's have a proper introduction now, shall we?

My name is Quentin Beck.

I have an important question for everyone here;

What's your favorite fast food place in town? And, to be more specific, best place to get pizza? I'm from New York, so I have a lot of loyalty to the pizzas in my neighborhood, but let's hear what there is in this place.

You'd be helping out a sixteen year old girl whose metabolism is pretty high for now.

Posted by: cool_skeleton

[After Papyrus' flight accident--stay tuned--he'd eventually recovered to read the newspaper that prematurely ended his spree. It turned out one joy had felled its lesser, and he could not be happier. The whole network must hear about this!]

OH MY GOD!!! I WON!!! I'M THE GREAT FAYREN GUARDIAN, AND I GOT ALL THE VOTES!!!!

[Technically he was the only one running, but he likes that interpretation better.]

I'M SO....

POPULAR!
POPULAR!!
POPULAR!!!!

AND SO BUSY!! I HAVE A MILLION THINGS TO DO!!! THERE'S PUZZLES TO INSTALL, DEPUTIES TO RECRUIT, COOL RIDES TO SECURE!!

FRET NOT, FAYRENITES!! THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL VIGILANTLY GUARD YOU FROM DANGER! ESPECIALLY THE DANGER OF HUNGER, FOR THIS GREAT GUARDIAN IS ALSO A GREAT CHEF!!! I BETTER GET STARTED! AHEM.

FOR MY FIRST ACT OF GREAT GUARDIAN BUSINESS, I HAVE AN URGENT REQUEST TO ALL THE OTHER ONES AND THEIR DEPUTIES! SEND ME YOUR BEST ACTION-SELFIES ASAP!!! THE COOLER THE POSE, THE BETTER! THIS WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT LATER, YOU'LL SEE!

OHOHO, FINALLY, THE RESPECT AND RECOGNITION I'VE ALWAYS WANTED! EVERYONE WILL WANT TO BE MY FRIEND; I WILL TIPTOE THROUGH FIELDS OF HUGS!!

GENESSIA, CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING THE BEST VOTING DECISION OF YOUR LIFE!! THE SECOND BEST IS COMING UP IN A WEEK OR SO, SO DON'T FORGET THAT!!!

PLEASE DON'T BE SAD IF I DON'T RESPOND RIGHT AWAY TO YOUR CONGRATULATIONS, ADULATIONS, AND COMPLIMENTATIONS!! I'M UP TO MY EYESOCKETS IN PLANS!! SEE YOU SOON! NYEH HEH HEH!!!

[Don't worry, he's pretty punctual about the phone regardless. At least someone's publicly excited about the results. He just has a few...affairs to settle first...]

[OOC: More mini-threads to come in the comments below! I'll ping the relevant parties; in the meantime, feel free to tell him how awesome he is.]

[Vaggie's number gets a ping with this post. Itherael looks tense, keeping a firm hold on the Scroll of Fate. The camera picks up most of their body and wings - their device is floating a little ways before them.]

Greetings. I come with a message of truce.

[In other words, please don't hang up immediately like Papyrus warned you might.]

I am the archangel Itherael. Our mutual acquaintance, Papyrus, made mention of you, and vice versa. It is my understanding that you reacted to this with apprehension. I did as well.

Though there may be differences between our realms, it seems that neither of us have had good relation with the each other's races in the past. The angels and demons of my world have been at war for millennia. However, when I arrived here, it was made clear that grievances are to be set aside for the betterment of Genessia. This is the intention of my message: to arrange for us to meet and put into words an agreement of peace and non-aggression. We will swear not to act against the other, so long as there are no actions or schemes that would break the agreement.

...This is not easy for me. I imagine it will not be for you either. Papyrus has volunteered for us to use his home as a neutral ground, with his supervision. He will be serving a food called "spaghetti", though I do not eat, myself.

I hope to hear from you to make the necessary arrangements. It would be very, as Papyrus would say, "cool" of you. Oh, and for both of us, might I enquire as to your name?

[The emphasis on "hope" is a little subconscious; it's the main thing fueling them here. Itherael nods.] Farewell.

GENESSIA CITY (a)
[ Stumbling his way down the streets is a small lavender-haired boy who looks like he's been a little roughed up in a fight or at the very least like he fell off a cliff. With scratches on his face and his clothes torn here and there, he rubs at his cheek with the back of his hand and squints some as he tries to make sense of his surroundings since coming out of that weird pod he woke up in. He... doesn't recognize any of this. ]

How'd I even get here? Where's Goten and Piccolo?

[ He comes to a stop at an intersection and stares rather blankly at the various streets and shops, all which look so unfamiliar to him. He can't sense Goten or Piccolo, not even Gohan and it has the small half-Saiyan wander his way across the street... totally ignoring the red light and the car coming for him that he just steps over the hood of like it's no big deal... making the driver have to swerve out of sheer WHAT IS A CHILD DOING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND ON MY CAR???

Trunks, unbothered by this, crosses to the other side of the street and holds at his stomach as he continues down the street; someone's feeling real hungry with that rumbling going on there. ]

I'm so hungry... I need food.

[ And so, when he's not wobbling his way down the streets, he'll make his way into whatever fast food joint, café, restaurant, WHATEVER and go up to the first table he sees with some food on it... and start eating it. Even if it's yours. Sorry, not gonna stop him from stuffing his face. ]

GENESSIA CITY (b)
[ It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's a small boy flying through the sky over Genessia City. He seems to be looking for something or someone as he swoops down every now and then and flies right up to various people on the streets - maybe even you - looking close and hard at each and every face that he comes up to. ]

Nope. Don't know you. Or you. Or you.

[ He gives a sigh as he goes from person to person, seeming more and more disappointed with every one he flies right up to, totally ignoring any gawking or WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING from them.

Tapping down, he seems a bit defeated and frustrated before he just curls small hands into fists and shouts out to the sky. ]

What's going on?! I don't know anyone here!

[ You'll have to forgive the dramatics but he's a kid and has no idea what's going on. ]

[The feed finally cuts, only for Papyrus to...]

Action, all around the world.

[...Make good on his promise. Papyrus busily asserts himself all across every sixth of Genessia, zooming around as fast as his busy legs will carry him. The jawbone's getting a nice workout too.]

VOTE FOR PAPYRUS!! HAVE A BUTTON! WHERE'S YOUR BABY FOR ME TO KISS? OH, YOU DON'T HAVE ONE? THAT'S OKAY, I'M SURE YOU CAN FIND ONE SOMEWHERE!!

[And that's the routine. Find a stranger, hand them a piece of campaign paraphernalia, tape a flier, shout a self-aggrandizing slogan, and repeat. Who knew politics could be so much fun? ~~and loud~~]

[Video/Action] Introduction!

[New arrival Billy Batson had found his way independently out of the Bay; got his box; listened to the message; picked up some pamphlets and had been making his way to the Commonspace when he'd spied some unusual eggs. Curious, he'd picked one up - and with a burst of smoke it had had an unfortunate side effect. Now he has ended up partially glued to the ground and in his efforts to get up he's managed to get awkwardly stuck at foot, shoulder and cheek - so he was virtually lying on his side, stuck to the pavement. And thus the video is strangely tilted as he'd pulled out the communicator to call for assistance.]

A little help?

How fascinating.

[Genessia's newest angel is levitating their device in front of them - as they levitate over the Genessia Commonspace building. Their robes are in simple earth tones, and their armour in white and muted gold. There is no face beneath their hood, though it moves as if there were as they watch the device. They hold a large scroll under one arm.]

[But what stands out most of all are their wings: a pair of pauldrons float above their shoulders, from which tendrils of blue-white light shift and sway.]

[After a moment of observation, they continue to speak. Their voice is slow and steady. ~~If a little monotone.~~]

Greetings. I am Itherael, Aspect of Fate, and Archangel of the High Heavens. It is my understanding that this device allows me to access a communication network for others who have been brought here. Whatever force did this to us must indeed be powerful to have breached Heaven. Has their purpose in these abductions been determined yet?

Also...[Itherael holds up the wad of cash given to new arrivals.] I do not require money, food, or lodgings. If employment is required to attain these things, then I do not require employment.

((OOC: Long story short, Itherael will respond to they/them or he/him pronouns.))
