Clank: a Steampunk RP

[Inkshade]

((OOC ok, let's do this thing.))

Lio sprints down the hallway with a bag of soon to be stolen goods. He was smiling and confident, it had been a good find, Arcke would be proud, only one problem: the guards had seen him.

he turns a corner only to find that it was a dead end. he turns to run another direction, but the guards had cought up with him. he draws his sword and smiles at them "Evenin' gents!" he says with a smile.

"Game's over boy. Drop your weapon and put your hands where I can see them." one guard says.

Lio laughs awkwardly "Well, you see, there's one tiny problem with that sugestion..." the sound of hissing steam goes off as three knives go flying at the guards, taking five of them out. "...you seem under teh illusion that I'm alone!" Lio lunges at the remaining three as they stare in confusion. he smiles once they are taken care of "Sairca, Sairca, Sairca! Are you alright? Your third knife only took out one of them."

Sairca steps out from the other hallway and stares at him. he then picks up his daggers and pulls them up his sleeves.

"Oh...I figured that was it." Lio says "Well, let's go home. Arcke will be happy when he sees what we got today!" he smiles and runs towards the nearest window to get out.

Sairca looks at the soldiers once more to make sure they were dead before following Lio out the window.

Jadira walked through the streets as quickly as she could, without raising suspicion. She was passing through town, mostly to eavesdrop on any important news she could, using her powers to gain better insight, and to buy new supplies. She'd spent the night in the town, and was steadily growing sick of the people, and how her abilities reacted whenever she got to close to them.

Max timed his jump perfectly and did a few flips as he went through the air. He grew a long bone hook from his palm and used it to swing across a pole jutting from a building. He landed on a stone building and adjusted his bandana. He could sense his target in the streets below. He perched himself on another pole and seemingly stared down at his pray.

[Inkshade]

Lio and Sairca walk down a dirt path together into a forest, heading towards the current camp. Lio smiles and sighs contently "What a life eh? I mean it's quite the transition from what we used to do."

Sairca nods and grunts in agreement.

Lio laughs "You're right! It is ironic!" he sighs again "Ohh, I wonder what Arcke and Jack are up to...those two looney's! Haha, Oh, but who are we to talk?"

Sairca remains silent.

Lio frowns "I'm sorry...inappropriate..."

-------

Eleca looks around nervously. She was being chased by a couple of bandits who had learned about her power. "Father...." she mutters nervously. she suddenly stops dead in her tracks as she begins to have a vision.

[Noble 6]

Markus Finagain stood below the church tower. Slowly drinking a goblet of beer. The spices made his teeth tickle, well the few he had left. He unsheathed his dagger and walked towards the woman who they had caught "Stealing".
"So 'ou tink 'ou can come 'ere and steal from me and me men, huh wench." he said poking her stomach slightly.

"Please I'm pregnant, I did not steal, it fell from my basket!!! Please someone....anyone..."she broke down into tears at the end.
"No 'ou disgusting whore. Whatever touches my land is mine!!" he said slapping her across the face.
The man holding the womans hand let her go and he stumbled back, before falling to the floor. The other man did the same seconds later.
"What the 'ell" he said before feeling a slight pinch.


"Why so cruel to such a helpless woman?" a soft voice spoke from behind him. A moment later a large bone white blade shot out from him, piercing his heart. The Markus fell dead on the ground.

Max turned away from the woman and began running through a alleyway. From behind him a few gaurds chased shouting obsenities.
"These men are only doing their jobs, and as such not evil, they could be spared." he thought.

"If we don't position more bot's down at the bolt mines, we may run out of supplies to increase our strength!"
"We shouldn't need to! Since when did violence become our main way of proving ourselves to the world? *Hiissss**Ka-chink* Diplomacy is the only way to show ourselves as a mature enough race for others to take us seriously!"
"*Clank**Chink-chink-chink-clank!* That's preposterous! The only way Arcadis will take us seriously is if they see that we have great military strength!"

Blitzcrank sighed as his advisers argued amongst themselves. For 3 days now he had sat through this petty bickering and so far the only thing agreed on was that they were robots and that more oil was needed for better SPSRL health. "Gentleman, I tire of these pointless discussions. Simply put, yes, we need a bigger presence at the bolt mines. More workers would increase protection and proportionately they would need more protection. BUT, I will not tolerate any such behaviors or actions that will threaten our people. That decision is final."
The aggressive diplomat there stood up and released steam from his back pipe as he did so. "You can't do that! This committee here is to help you make decisions! *Pa-shissss*"
"Exactly. And you have. That is what I am deciding."
"But-"
"Silence!," Blitzcrank said in a raised voice. "I said my answer is final! If you want to argue it further, you're more than welcome to discuss it with you're colleagues. Good day."
Grumbling, he clanked loudly as he stormed out of the room, followed close behind by the other members.

By Blitzcrank's side Technik laughed a dry, mechanical laugh, the most SPSRL could usually muster. "Very well put old friend."
"You think so? I try to not be...TOO harsh."
"Do not worry. They got the message. Rustbucket there will probably grumble for a bit but they'll see the wisdom of your decision eventually like they always do." He then extended the blade from his right arm and examined it. "Besides, true military presence isn't defending a mine. It's...capturing one."
"Now now Technik, you know how I feel about that. We may be strong, but we can't take on the whole might of Arcadis."
"Not all of. Just a small outpost or two. Simple strategic expansion."
If Blitzcrank could, he would roll his eye balls. Technik would always go on like this if he got the chance.

((OOC: For the sounds, just imagine random steam sounds and gears moving in the robots as they move and use you're imagination.))

((I am assumoing the royal emporors peeps and family serventy people live in the castle yes? Or am i wrong in that assumption.))

Duncan paced the corridors of his chambers- the castle was a particularly good place to pace as the acoustics were perfect... 'It is unbelievable, completely unbeleivable. How easily they lie to the public...'

--------------------MEANWHILE--------------------

Jaedyn sat in his office, a pile of pappers sat infront of him on his desk needing to be signed... The day had been boring atleast to his knowledge so far. hopefully that would change.

[Inkshade]

Latalia steps out of the Prince's room and carefully shuts the door. she walks down a palace hallway out to a small courtyard. Some of the other ladies were talking "Oh! Latalia, are you returning from visiting Lord Elric?"

She stops and sighs "Yes." she says with some distaste, she had no desire to chat with them.

"How is he? any Improvements?"

"I couldn't ask him, he was sleeping most of the time." she continues walking "I can't stay to chat." she adds and exits the courtyard.

---------

Lio smiles as they enter the camp "Boss! We're back, and have earnned our meals if I say so myself!"

Sairca sets down his bag.

[outerlimits]

The leaving advisers chattered amongst themselves. Many had already warmed up to Blitzcrank's idea, but Rustbucket ((OOC: Yes, that's his name, it wasn't a joke by Technik )) was uncontent with the ruling.
"That damn Blitzcrank! Under his leadership our coalition will get nowhere in the real world! The fact that Arcadis just finished a war gives us the prime time to expand our influence!" Outside random yells and steam sounds were heard, but he ignored it. "If we just here and wait forever we'll never see a rise in our global pow-," and exactly at "pow", a small robot burst through the ceiling of the building and landed on Rustbucket, making the appropriate "POW!" sound.
"Weeeee! I love flying!," the little robot said.
"Accursed cretin! Get off of me you crazy bucket of bolts!," Rustbucket yelled at the small robot.
The robot then looked very seriously at Rustbucket and said, "You must speak...the PASSWOOOOOORD!"
"Oh for the love of, CLANK!"
The little robot laughed loudly. "Nuh uh! I changed it this week!"
"CAN SOMEONE GET THIS THING OFF OF ME!?!"

Blitzcrank, hearing the commotion, went out the door and saw the robot on top of Rustbucket down the hallway. Sighing, he yelled to it, "Hey! Gear! The password is applesauce!"
Gear leaped up immediately. "Yay! Password said!"
Rustbucket scrambed to his feet, clanking loudly as he did so while grumbling. "Forget this, I'm out of here! This place has gone to hell in a recycling bin!," and stormed off.
Gear laughed as Rustbucket and the others finished leaving. Skipping over to Blitzcrank, she said, suddenly more serious, "The foul one has been taken care off. What are your orders, oh great leader?"
Blitzcrank chuckled. "How about you fix the hole you made in my ceiling? I think you know where the spare materials are by now."
Quickly raising her hand to her forehead, she said, "Yes sir!" and then opened up the hatches on her boots, rocketing herself through the ceiling to the building where the spare materials are. "I fix that when I get back too!"
Blitzcrank shook his head. "That Gear...at this rate I'm going to have to make sturdier buildings..."

[Noble 6]

Max dove over a stand in the rode and then climbed up a series of buildings. He ran to the edge of a slanted buildins rooftop, and he turned. He could sense the gaurds locations as they caught up to him.
"See ya" he waved as he hoped backwards off the rooftop. He created a littleral board of bone and he "surfed" down the side of the building.

[Inkshade]

Latalia searches the halls of the castle "Where is that oaf?" she growls quietly to herself. she turns a corner and spots Duncan "There you are!" she says with a semi-agrivated voice.

-------------

Lio looks around the camp awkwardly "hmm, must not be back yet...." he turns to Sairca "Well then, shall we spar to pass the time?" he asks, drawing his rapier.

Sairca sighs and shakes his head

"Ohhh, come now! We need to keep on our toes! How am I suposed to retain my training if I don't pratice?"

Sairca sighs and nods. he picks up a spare rapier and takes an average stance.

Lio smiles and takes a far more sofisticated one. "En Guard!" he smiles and laughs "You're quite welcome!" he says an lunges at Sairca.

[outerlimits]

((OOC: Just so you know, it's "spar", not "spare". What you said sounds like "spare change", lol.))

Blitzcrank smiled as he heard Gear land back on the roof and start repairing it. "At least she's true to her word on that matter." When sunlight stopped coming from the ceiling, he started to go back to his throne room, but then heard music coming from the roof and stomping. "...What is she up to now?" Going outside, he went up a ladder to see her doing the robot while the corresponding song played.
"Domo Aro-gato! Mister ROBOTO!," Gear was yelling, doing a rather good robot.
"Gear! Stop dancing on the roof!"
"Ok!," she replied, then hoped on Blitzcranks head and started dancing there.
"Get off my head Gear! Dance somewhere else!"
"Ok!," she replied, hoping back on the roof and dancing.
"GEAR!," Blitzcrank yelled, getting angry.

Technik came up the ladder and saw what was making Blitzcrank angry. Sighing, he went over to the radio and switched it off. "Alright Gear, enough screwing around. You have a big important job to do today, remember?"
Gear's eyes suddenly lit up. "RIIIIIIGHT! Super Secret Spy Stuff!"
Technik smiled and rubbed her head. "There you go! Now, off you go!"
Gear then laughed and blasted off, yelling "WEEEEEEE" as she soared through the air.
Blitzcrank grumbled and went back to the ladder. "If I had hair to lose she'd make mine fall out..."
"Ah, she's just like a little kid is all. A weird, loud, obnoxious, smarter-than-she-looks-or-acts kid."
Blitzcrank scowled as he went down the ladder. "I'm going to put more funding into finding a way to fix her. I'm not going to have her running around like that for another century..."

[aura]

Arcke and Jack walked into the camp.Jack carried a cart full of extra machine parts of assorted size and use.

Arcke whistled for everyone to enter the center of camp.

"Alright. How have the missions gone today. Thekain I expect those swords to be ready by tomorrow,Rob good work packing the rest of the gear, but we need evverything ready for tonight,Jarod we have some extra parts for you."

He turned to Lio ans Sairca."What did you boys haul in?"


---


The bandits moved around Eleca. Slowly surrounding her. One of them shouted."Ha, this is too eas-"

As thundering boom echoed behind them, dust rose from the ground, as the bandits turned. A figure rose from where he had landed. He towered above all others. His human form slowly giving away to a more mechanical build.His voice a robotic drone.

"Stay away from my daughter!" Blades extended from the side of his arms and fingertips. The bandits barely had time to scream or run before they were cut to ribbons. Scrignaut finished easily then kneeled next to Elexa waiting for her vision to finish.

[CrystalPrison]

Jadira sighed in relief as she found a quieter part of town to relax in. She'd managed to salvage money for food and had used it to buy a bit of a meal for herself. Finding a bench to sit on, she leaned back to enjoy a meal.

[Inkshade]

((OOC: that's what I meant. it's an extra Rapier.))

the two pause their match and look at Arcke and Jack "There you are!" Lio says with a smile.

Sairca backs away from Lio and sets the rapier down. he reaches to grab what he had carried, but Lio got it first

"I've got it." Lio smiles and carries their two bags over to them. he dumps the contents on the ground "Treasures, brought to you from your friendly neighboorhood Arcadis military!" he says "I think Sairca and I did pretty well today eh Boss?"

Sairca sighs and joins them.

-----

Eleca snaps out of her vision and looks up at Scrignaut "It will be better to take the middle path...." she says "When the choice comes...." she hugs him "I was wondering why you weren't showing up...."
