Denny2669 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Technocyte is a dissease born weapon. Whatever edge it creates, it cuts with nano precision. It never dents, never yields, and with enough force it'll cut anything. However, it is difficult to fight fire with fire. Sophia's attempt at a literal disarm would not go the way she expected. Her swipe would end at the strange arm's surface, letting out a loud hollow sound as it vibrated from the impact. Even more unfortunate, the vibrations have caused the grenade to fall out of it's pin. Now it was live, and the magician is about to have a stage accident.

404Cygni Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) " пизданутый !" I had seen enough military, rogues and criminals use grenades. I knew what was coming for me if I just stayed there. Adrenaline surged through as i ran like I had the gehenna coming for me. Drifting around a column, I sat behind, my heart aching. The fear wouldn't wash away. I was safe, but...Oh no. i had meant to take Sophia with me, but primal instincts had prevailed; i was safe, but I had left her in front of the grenade.

kyrozon Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) The 'Get down' from earlier had made Indy already move out of the grenades way. She didn't even see it drop. The only indication of something happening was Amelia doing a mad dash away from the grenade. Although it'd take her a while before she put 2+2 together with that scenario.

DaMadReaper Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 It took Sophia a moment to realise what had happened. She wasn't particularly used to her blade not slicing through things. After the initial shock had passed, a maniacal grin spread across her face. Her heart was racing, and the adrenaline was pumping through her body. Not every day that you get a chance to outrun a grenade. The brunette quickly broke into a run away from the grenade. She was still running when the sound of the explosion came. Not long after, she felt two shards of shrapnel embed themselves deep into her back, one to the top right, the other into the mid-left of her back. The impact knocked the breath out of her lungs, sending her into a rolling halt a few feet further on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakeardian Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Francois opened an eyeball and peaked out as he listened to Sophia try to disarm the grenade...but then the disarming didn't go according to plan, he looked confused but judging from Sophia's running, it wasn't good. Francois quickly got back down and covered his ears trying to shield himself from the kaboom that followed!

Denny2669 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 The sound of the blast would let some ears ringing, and the roof shaking. Everyone who got to cover in time was unharmed, except for Sophia. The place of detonation would push some of the rubble away, revealing more of the body the lifeless hand was part of. It seemed fully metallic, it's skin twisted, and in the place where it's face should be was nothing but more of it's twisted surface. A horn potruded from it's forehead, and curved all the way to the back of it's head. About a half of the being was potruding from the rubble now, it's legs and left arm still covered in the pile.

Cyriann Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 "Is it over?" Rinka says from the top of her pillar, hands grabbing as if it was the sole safe spot around. "Please tell me we won't have to look around this place and risk to get ourselves blown up again..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakeardian Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Francois opened his eyes and peaked out as it all finished, he called out "Is everyone okay! Someone check on her!" he pointed to where Sophia landed before approaching where the corpse holding the grenade was. "Mio Dio...what happened to you my son?" he asked as he spoke to the corpse, putting a hand on the head of the monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMadReaper Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Sophia struggled to breath for a moment, before stumbling back onto her feet, gripping one of the pillars for support. "Wow guys, thanks for the assist... Hell, the priest is more worried about the goddamn corpse..." said the brunette, trying and failing to stop her voice from shaking too much. "Anyone here know how to safely remove shrapnel from flesh?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetroFallout Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Freya approached Sophia and helped her limp to a nearby pew, propping her up so that she could have a better look at her wounds. "I'm not really qualified for this but I'll do my best." she said, taking a look at her wounds first. "In the meantime, can someone have a look around to see if they can find any meds?"

kyrozon Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Indy didn't bother much to assist Sophia or Freya. Instead she paced past to go outside again. Her own conscious nagged at her that Sophia's injury was her fault, and she couldn't push it away. Nor did she get why she felt so guilty. She had taken lives easy before, but those had lacked something Sophia did have. A name. She quickened her steps to get out of the building. She didn't belong in a church like this. The bird didn't seem to be interested in following its owner. Instead it scooped down to in front of Sophia, bowing its head down almost as if it wanted to say sorry for how Indy acted. This gesture was short lived as it hopped away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
404Cygni Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I wasn't able to stop it. I got so fixated on saving my own arse that I left someone to die. This was my fault, the entire thing. My fault. My fault. My fault. My fault myfault myfaultmyf- Enough. I felt the tears running on my cheeks. It's not important. I feel miserable, so what? i deserve it. I get to Sophia, kneel by her side. "Will you be fine? Can I help? Please, what can i do to help you?" A whisper I can't help but let out. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

DaMadReaper Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) "I appreciate it, but I'll probably be fine if I just take out the shrapnel and wrap it up. If it hasn't killed me yet, then it's not going to." said the magician, chuckling a bit. She was getting used to the feeling of shrapnel in her back. Being honest, she could've gotten the shrapnel out alone, but the attention was nice. However, all those thoughts came crashing down when the girl began weeping at her side. Suddenly, things were much more serious. She laid her hand on the girl's shoulder, adopting an expression that betrayed her worry. "Jesus, I'm alright, but are you? I just took a bit of shrapnel, it's nothing serious. I'm fine!" She panicks, unsure of how to handle the situation. In the heat of the moment, she pulls the girl in for a hug.

404Cygni Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) "I'll be fine. I'm sorry. I've been up in this mess for a long time, and I..." Calm down. It's over. She lives; Even if it might just be a stroke of luck. "I'll fight whatever war you want, but I just can't bear losing people anymore." A sad shrug. Damn it. I'm supposed to be better than this. This sh*thole reforged me. Guess sometimes, reforged blades stay brittle. "It just happens, sometimes. I'm sorry. I was there, I could have grabbed you before I absconded. But I did not. In spite of my experience, I panicked like a beginner wet under the ears and i let you down. I hope you can forgive me."

Denny2669 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 As the body was being pulled out of it's dusty grave, it's right hand would reveal itself to be a long, double bitted blade, bearing the twisted nature of the technocyte. On it's shoulder was a symbol, one no one present would recognize, but seemed to resemble the image of a lotus flower. The one holding the body would also notice that as it's being pulled and banged on by rock and the floor, it didn't just seem lifeless, but hollow. Outside, Indy would hear something. Like the crunching of dirt, just behind the graveyard wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyrozon Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Indy turned towards the wall. Letting out a short bird like whistle. It being reminiscent of a bird that flew up in shock. She wasn't sure if the others would've heard it, but she at least knew that her feathered companion would respond... somehow. It seemed to know when she was in trouble through some of this diseases shenanigans if she had to guess. Trace did respond to it by flying out of the church towards her, perching itself on her outstretched hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She jumps as the rest of the arm follows, revealing the bladed form. "What the Hell is that !?" She yells as all parts of her body covered by her cloth disappear from sight leaving only her right arm, feet and, from up front, face visible.

MetroFallout Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) "Guys, I need some meds so that I can pull the fragments out of Sophie. Mind helping me find some supplies?" asked Freya as she used a flame from her jets to illuminate the area so that she could see Sophie's wounds a little more clearly. "I mean she's not in any... clear and present danger of dying of her injuries but I think it'd be a good idea to take the fragments out and treat the wounds."

Denny2669 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 As Rinka dropped the body in shock, the noise it made has left it's purpose in the clear sunlight. It was hollow, so it must've been worn. Sophia's wounds clearly seemed bad. The shards were not only deep, but without proper tools they'd be difficult to pull out. She was bleeding as well, her blood a dark red, riven by the technocyte. The second Indy whistled, the thing behind the wall made a run for it. Before she could get a glance at what it would, it would already have disappeared into the grave yard. It is unusual for the infected to flee, so one could only guess what it was, and what it was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyriann Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The arm moves slightly, as if something is poking it, until Rinka appears again. "I-i-i-it can't move... Right ?" She says shaking from top to bottom. She is afraid of it, just by its look she knows that thing is meant to kill, and she is terrified just by imaginating this thing moving.

MetroFallout Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 "PEOPLE!

Drakeardian Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) "I do not think so." replied Francois as he examined this suit over with a raised eyebrow. "It's...a suit I think...." This was very confusing to the priest, he wasn't sure what the hell this thing was but he addressed a more pressing issue. Sophie's wounds. He started to take a look around the church before discovering a pile of clothes that he began to search, seeing if any were clean then began to tear a few pieces off to act as bandages and grab some as thick clothes. handing them over to Freya as he did his best to work and find some tools.

MetroFallout Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 "Christ, at least someone's willing to help." muttered Freya as she received the rags to use as makeshift bandages and nodding at Francois in gratitude, making do as best she could. "Ain't much but I'm hoping this will do until we can find some bandages. Thanks, I'll need some actual supplies if you can find any, just be careful yes?"

Rinka turns to the shouting woman her gaze isn't empty, but the way she stutters and can't seem to speak a word shows how much she lost her mask. Fear and terror are all over her, she forces herself to move away from the horrible blade and slowly walks around looking for something to make a bandage or to help treating the woman, but she most probably won't find anything. Mind and eyes unfocused she is clearly shocked, maybe by the blood, maybe by the realization that they could have died, yet suddenly the situation is no more the game it was when it started.
