The Dojo (Open Rp)

[IamStroodle]

((Second Dream rules: While I do recognize this as canon in warframe, it is a still late game part of the story that many people have yet to get to. So please continue playing your characters as they have been portrayed throughout this forum

If you have questions, comments, concerns, please message me. I may not post but I check my message box if nothing else as it's the -best- way to contact me

Mods, please treat them with respect and they'll do the same. Here's a list of who I have actively modding: Denny2669))

 

The Dojo is an oriental themed station that is an open place for all Tenno to come, socialize, meditate, rest, and hone their abilities. The station itself is a privately owned establishment funded by the good graces of the Tenno Council and the small goods and services tax.

Tenno are allowed full access to all the facility (Who can be easily identified by the fact they have a warframe on), however due to recent events, all Tenno must submit to a background check before boarding, too many are found guilty of associating with traitors or being outright dangerous

Staff members can be identified by a purple sun symbol on their shoulder. They are there to help with any questions you may have so do not hesitate to ask. (To see some of the main staff members visit my profile)

Some come, stay a while, unwind from your travels and welcome!

The station includes:

Several different meditation gardens surrounding a large open park area, with it's own day/night cycle and seasonal changes.

 

Several public and private dueling arenas, multi-person skirmish arenas and practice courses, such as obstacle courses, firing ranges, and martial art studios for all Tenno, young and old, to hone their skills.

A several restaurants and bars, including but not limited to a sushi bar, steakhouse, sandwich shop, and a regular bar

A hotel where Tenno may rent rooms or cyro-pods for extended stays. The hotel itself is equip with it's own bath house with public pools and private springs.

A marketplace with the latest Tenno weapons and tools for sale, where you may also find several repairing services

A hanger for Tenno ships, equip with an in-flight simulator for Tenno to practice their pilot skills which can be used by multiple Tenno for the purpose of testing their skills against one another

 

A shrine dedicated to fallen comrades, a simple shrine with a small cairn (those stacked rocks) on a small island surrounded by water, full of paper lamps where Tenno might light and add their own at will

 

A museum of Tenno history, equip with uncovered old world weapons, texts ranging from laws and rites, that may or may not still apply to modern Tenno, to public literature that depict several events during the old Orokin Era, and even works of art ranging from carvings, paintings and literature

 

-Note: All areas and locations are easily found through holographic signs pointing in the direction of the location


Station rules:

No fighting outside of designated areas (Dueling rooms)

 

1. Do not destroy or tamper any station property such as knocking down trees in the gardens, altering the paths or harming the fish etc.

 

2. Respect the privacy of other Tenno's, private rooms are equip with anti-cloak technology to prevent 'peeking' on other residence.
 

3. Please ensure all unknown, and possibly contaminated, objects (E.G Plastids, nano-spores etc.) properly accounted for by the staff and sealed properly. If you lack something that can be sealed properly a storage unit will be provided (for a small fee).

 

4. This station has a 100% absolute zero-tolerance for violence policy. Anyone who is caught instigating or starting a fight outside of a dueling room will be immediately removed from the station with no chance to plead their case

 

-Note: The station, while not publicly advertised, is a well equipped and well armed fortress, capable of taking down a Grineer Galleon, and capable of tracking the stealthiest of Tenno ships (For those who wish to bring harm to a guest by sneaking in)

The blinding pool rippled twice in ancient beat and sent its chorus to reverberate through the Grand Dojo. From the crystal structure was unveiled a Tenno whom fell to a knee and struggled himself back up by supporting with one fist. After his solitary engagements against the accursed he needed rest and his personal supplies were far too drained. Cassus needed quality craftsmanship from the best aside from the Orokin and he simply prayed none would recognize him or interrupt his rest.

 

He made his way towards the central hub network and latched on in effort to get acquainted with his surroundings. Holographic images and directional markers lit his way towards the laboratories, foundries and trade halls where he may find someone willing to exchange resources with him for what he needed. His first destination was one of the laboratories that specialized in traditional equipment crafted by Tenno artisans and smiths in effort to find a way to enhance the natural abilities of his Excalibur Prme Warframe and assorted equipment.

 

Cassus arrived to the bustling workshops of the Tenno. Everywhere the sound of work and sweat echoed as carpenters shaved wood, metalbenders twisted alloys and engineers circuited electronics into the living tissue of the Warframe armor. Technocyte was our most dangerous enemy and most trusted ally. One such worker stepped forth and inquired what Cassus needed.

 

It takes a moment for Cassus to adopt to all the overwhelming and aggressive sounds that for a change do not belong to something out to end his quest and claim his possessions but that doesn't mean that these Tenno could not change into just a dangerous a foe as the rest if he is discovered. Cassus assumed both a calm and cautious stance to those around him.

 

"Brother..." His voice cracked like the same whisper of what the others know to be the Stalker. This could go wrong very quickly. But how does one speak the regular Tenno language again after not having spoken for so long? What excuse can he conjure to trick the one who stood before him not to draw arms? "... My voice modulator has been damaged in a recent battle. I seek repair... Among other things."

(sorry I was gonna rewrite it but got caught up with something)

 

The shop clerk scrutinizes the Tenno for a moment before nodding slowly "Alright it shouldn't take too long for us to fix it. What else is it you require?" If there's any suspicions the clerk does not seem to show any

"Upgrades."

 

He reached for his blade, the Skana Prime, grasping it tightly and upholstering it. The sharp material it was made from still splintered the devastating golden light since the day it was hand crafted by millennia old task masters. Task masters not unlike the Lotus. Cassus laid the sword on a table near the Tenno worker and it floated in its bindings. The ones he seeks to escape.

 

With calm dismay he turns to the worker. 

 

"There is more. But... I must acquire a method of... Payment first."

 

He extend his forearm and met the gaze of the worker with his mask.

 

"My name is... Terek."

*The clerk responds with a firm shake of his forearm* A pleasure brother and we take platinum or credits, 20 or 2000 respectively. A repair like this should take a few hours to do since it's a bit more advanced. We'll send a drone for you when it's done, anything else you need?

"Very well... I shall pay you and request more of your services later on. Farewell for now... Brother."

 

Slowly with unrelenting gaze Cassus turned his back towards the worker and moved onward connecting to the hub network remotely and having it guide him to the nearest meditation area for a bit of rest. Interacting after his eternal silence has left him more weary then a dozen battles ever could. 

 

The hallways along his path also led to the shrine of the fallen. Despite the treachery Cassus still held respect for some of his former companions and so purposefully lost his way to pay his respects. Inside the holograms, statues and statuettes of Tenno heroes marked the room like a gallery of war. Each more impressive than the last and all in combat ready stance. From across the room the image of Sindarin struck him like a thunderbolt and Casus nearly lost his composure. Sindarin. Sindarin. The first to fall at the hands of the Tennoslayer and the demon that haunts his memories. Sindarin. Sindarin. The ghost that pierces his dreams each night which is now hunted by the one he sought to slay.

 

A torrent. A flood. Waves of despair struck Cassus. The unbearable pain forced him to turn his back and leave the shrine lest he be lured into a trap of his own design. 

 

He would not be a fool and so instead continued his journey to the meditation gardens.

 

Cassus found a red maple tree which leaves had not yet dispersed and been consumed by the snow. In its shade some lushly green grass tried to escape the fall of the cold sky. He kneeled beneath it and entered his trance state allowinh himself to be absorbed into his own world and regain what is lost. Rest, memory, composure. His emotions were washed away as were his thoughts. But his strength remained so that none could easily strike him down or interrupt him in this state. He was the master and no one could stop him.

OOC: That's all from me for now. Let someone else join the fun hehehe.

*A Valkyr seems to wander through some of the park area and meditation gardens, she in relative silence, tends to them. Trimming stray branches from well trimmed bushes and throwing food flakes into the water for the fish to eat. When she's done she simply finds a stone out on one of the ponds and sits cross-legged, meditating quietly.*

[Amistyrja]

 

A motherly-looking Trinity stepped into the gardens, her arms full of baby Sentinels. Stopping at the edge of the pond, she lowered herself into a kneeling position and laid her pets onto the grass. A Wyrm nymph dove into the water and began to chase the koi fish as the Djiin cub tried to burrow itself into the soil by spinning on the spot. At the pond's edge sat a Carrier seed, blowing air into the water's surface while a Dethcube core observed the resulting ripples curiously. The sleepy Shade pup was not in the mood for playing, and fell asleep on top of a moss-covered rock. The Trinity watched them all fondly, thinking quietly to herself. Very soon, they would grow big and have to be outfitted with implants, and the Dethcube would have to be fitted into its tempered-alloy hull. She should enjoy her moments with them as infants while they lasted.

*She would hear heavy footsteps approach from behind her, a Tenno in Frost slowly calmly approached the motherly Tenno. His presence bearing the same gentle chill as the main park area. On his shoulder is a projection of a purple star, one synonymous with the staff here. He speaks softly but his voice is deep* "Evening miss, enjoying your time in the gardens?"

[Amistyrja]

Looking over her shoulder, the Trinity smiled a warm smile that could be felt behind her faceplate. "Indeed, sir. The little ones are enjoying their outing here as well."

 

The Djiin cub's erratic spinning eventually kicked up a spiral of soil, some of it landing onto the Frost's right foot. Alarmed, the Trinity hurriedly put the little tornado to a stop, then made to wipe the Frost's foot with a large leaf. But before she could begin apologizing, the Carrier seed spat a jet of pond water where the mud stained the Frost, blasting the soil away. The Carrier simply giggled as its caretaker began scolding it for spitting at others.

 

"Do forgive the little ones, sir, they're a little too playful for their own good." she said, as she scooped the Carrier seed away from the water's edge with her hand.

A temporary guest, the Observer was.  Shorter than the Tenno, he stuck out from their kind as he came from the hangar, a briefcase in one hand as his armor remained on.  As a show of respect, his weapons had been left behind on his ship as he made his way down the halls towards the main park, the one where he had arranged to meet with one of the staff of the Dojo.  The information gatherer was here to conclude his contract, the delivery of said information to the hands of a trusted Tenno.  The nip in the air didn't seem to really bother him as he marveled upon the sights of the park, the beauty of the environment was something many areas lacked.  Eventually finding a bench, he sat down and placed the suitcase on his lap, looking out more at the sights as he waited for his contact to arrive.

Is silent for a moment before letting out a hearty chuckle "It's quite alright miss! They're still just younglings and besides my frame was due for a detailing anyways." he offered a bow to the Trinity "I am Enderius m'lady"

[X3Evanescence]

The echoes of clashes between blades resonated across the majestic walls of the Grand Dojo, its source being from one of the many Dueling rooms, where Evanescence and Serenity pitted their swordsmanship skills against each other. Serenity rushed straight at Evanescence, unleashing a fierce flurry of attacks with deadly aim, with Evanescence struggling to dodge and parry those murderous blows, even with the enhanced agility granted to him as a Loki Warframe. Attacking so recklessly usually leaves one vulnerable to counter-attacks, but in this case, Serenity is able to coordinate her strikes with her Dual Ichors in a way that sealed all the blind spots, despite her rash antics.

Evanescence is quickly finding himself cornered, as each of her relentless attacks grew closer to hitting its target, and he is running out of options. Perhaps his handicap to using a Skana was a bad idea, but his reputation is at stake if he loses to her. Swerving his body nimbly as he parried, The Loki desperately tried to find an opening to initiate a counter-attack, but to no avail.

The Trinity rose from her feet and returned his gesture, cradling the Carrier seed in her arms. "It's a pleasure, sir Enderius. I am an infant attendant in service of the Tenno Sentinel nursery."

 

Before she could continue, a Shade pup phased into view, clinging onto her face and obscuring her faceplate. Sighing softly, she plucked him lightly off her face and placed him onto her shoulder, where he snuggled up warmly and went back to sleep.

*Enderius chuckled lightly at the scene* "Well you seem to be doing a fine job of raising them. I have to get back on my route, but if you ever need anything just let one of the staff know and we'll be sure to provide assistance however we can."

*The Valkyr eventually decides that it's time to stop meditating and makes her way to the training rooms, passing the dueling rooms she hears the sounds of combat and stops in the personal duel to witness the fight as it progesses, her curiosity on the loki somewhat intrigued*

*A Frost clad Tenno approaches the man on the bench* "Sorry, I just got a message saying to pick up a package. I assume you're the one delivering it?"

[.Kitsune]

It had been a bit of time before he had been approached, and just by looking at the emblem on the Frost's shoulder the Observer was certain this was his contact.  Shifting the briefcase a bit before undoing the latches, he opened it up and pulled out three items.  One was a datamass, one a fragment of a prototype weapon, and the final a small projection bar which he secured to the handle of the datamass.  "Invaluable information for you guys.  Data is organized in an easier to examine format and the encryption is that which was requested.  All to help keep the peace."  He explained all of these as he stood up, allowing the now light case to fall to the ground and snap shut once more.  Shifting the items around, he presented them to the Tenno.  "Our business for now will be concluded once I have received the rest of my payment, my friend."  His work wasn't the cheapest, but for those looking for the right information he was definitely a wise choice.

*The Tenno nods as he pulls out a datapad and transfers the combination platinum and credits required for the payment of this data* "Your payment shall arrive in the designated account within the hour, if there's any troubles with the transfer let us know. In the meantime do feel free to visit the springs, they're quite rejuvenating after such a long trip." *The Frost Tenno goes to take the materials he payed for and offers a bow and a thank you*

[.Kitsune]

With a soft chime in his ear of confirmation of payment, he smiled.  Bowing in return respectfully, he took the thought to mind.  "I will do so, thank you for the invitation sir," the Observer responded before parting ways with the Tenno.  It was time to relax a bit before 'hitting the road', a warm bath would feel absolutely divine on his somewhat achy body.

[IamStroodle]

*The frost himself needed to clean up as he had a few mud stains he left to the staff barracks to get himself cleaned up, taking the data with him for the finalization of the delivery. Meanwhile as the Observer arrives he's greeted by a very attractive Tenno woman wearing a silken robe. She offers a light smile to him* "Welcome! What can we do for you today traveler?" *She said with no small amount of enthusiasm"

[.Kitsune]

The female Tenno caught him off-guard a bit, especially with the enthusiasm.  "Is there a private bath?"  He had his reasons for preferring a solitary soak, but for now the primary one was to help relax both his body and his mind.

*She nods, grabbing a secruity key from beneath the counter* Right this way. *She says, leading him through the wood built oriental bath-house to a series of private springs. She swipes the card on the door which undoes the automatic lock. Inside the Observer would be greeted by a small hot spring, the stone carved tub no bigger than to accomodate two or three people. By one of the stone seats is a platter of drinks, bathing utensils and some light snacks. The Tenno smiles again* "Enjoy your stay."

[.Kitsune]

He smiles from under his helmet and thanks her before securing the door after entering, starting the ungearing process.  The armor was simple enough, it came off without a problem.  Slipping out of the undersuit was a bit more of a hassle though as it had to come off from the head and it tended to cling to the body.  Though once he got it down to his waist(allowing his blonde hair to poof back out), he grabbed a towel to cover his groin.  Signs he wasn't human or Tenno were now apparent, but this was why he wanted a private bath.  Slowly sinking into the warm waters, he pulled the towel away as he relaxed, setting it aside.  With time to himself, he closed his eyes as he became lost in thought.
