[The Official RPN Character Challenge 2015]The Lobby!

She smirks. "That was easy." Her blade reduces its size again and she sheathes it. "However, I have no way of telling if you're real. Who knows, maybe I'm the real one and you're the illusion. Or maybe this is all real. Or maybe none of it's real and I'm dreaming. You have any way to test that out? Because I have no clue."

Dues Irea cracked into existence, unsure of where he was. He was astride Freki, and Geri was next to him. The pair of Hell Hounds took up alot of space in the center of the room, and Irea made Freki seem sll the bigger.


Looking around he first noticed that the place looked like a vision of a high plane, all white and glass. He then saw the strange mix of every type of humonoid he had ever seen, and then some. Geri seemed to detect cat and looked suspiciously at a pair of girls, sniffing at the air. Freki picked up a strange disease, clearly the Rot God had a servant here.
 
The glass of the lobby reflected Kallin's drab and dark appearance. Showing him his scruffy robes and hat, his glowing, yellow eyes wreathed in black mist with no other features on his ethereal face. He turned his attention to a lamp sitting benignly next to a cushioned seat. He walked around it with a confused expression, checking the stand the cord and then inside the lamp at the bulb, bending to tilt his head underneath the shade.


He stood up and poked it experimentally, drawing back and waiting to see if it would do anything.


"This isn't magic, what is this?"


Just then he heard an all-too familiar voice.


"Luness?" He asked, striding over to find the werecat in tense conversation with another of the...'combatants' that had been brought to this strange place.


"I think I understand...though I have no idea why this is happening. Gods must be bored huh? Well they can go suck on a toad if they think I'm playing their little game." He crossed his arms stubbornly.


@Lioness075 @anyone else :3
 
Due to concerns (and the fact that the RPN Gods are seemingly painfully forgetful), the rules of the Lobby and Snappy Snacks have been updated! From now on, all combat abilities, whether passive or not, will not work against eachother in the lobby and cafe due to the power and inhibitations of the Gods. They've got to keep their building safe, you understand. And besides, nobody wants to be killed before the competition even begins! If you wish to fight, head over to the training rooms! Additionally, if you have found an interaction here, I would recommend starting a new thread in this sub-forum so that you can interact relatively peacefully without having to read through everybody else's interactions as well
:)

Lyon blinked at the infinite void. The fact that that thought had crossed his mind was, in itself, pretty messed up. A voice echoed through the emptiness.'You have been chosen by the Gods to participate in an almighty set of trials. Win, and you will earn the ultimate glory. Lose, and you will disappoint us. Good luck, challenger!'


"What the hell?",He thought.Suddenly, with barely another second given to him to process what the voice had said, the void disappeared.


Lyon couldn't help it. He yelped. A slightly delayed reaction, to be sure, but how else was he meant to react? With perfect calm and composure? No, composure was for, well, composed people. Cool people. Probably ninjas. Lyon was nothing like that."Haha, except the ninja bit. I am totally a ninja."He entertained the thought for a second, grinning, before turning to look around at his surroundings. It was like... something out of a history book. Early 21st century style. Lyon gawked. Glass, white panels, clean glossy flooring... It was so extravagant. Nothing like the simple, wooden, homey aesthetic he had grown up with. A few of the richer mainland cities looked this way, but not to this degree. Noticing the other people milling about, he blushed. Had they heard his nervous cry before? "Common sense says, almost certainly." He thought. Taking one step forward, he tried to look cool, like he hadn't just made the weakest first impression ever. Looking at the other people, he mulled over the words of the voice in the void. "These people... I guess they're my competition?Is that how this works?" Lyon took it all in. This was insane. Kinda cool, admittedly, but insane. Wandering over to a window, he gazed out into an infinite void. Nothing. Just nothing. It was... interesting. And, admittedly, kind of terrifying. He found himself leaning on the pane as he looked out, entranced by the emptiness.

The comical young man that had just appeared with a yelp caught Kallin by surprise. Had he popped into existence like that? For some troubling reason he couldn't remember.


Eccentric expression discarded, this man had the appearance of a sky pirate. Kallin had had good experiences with sky pirates, and out of many beings in this room this one looked like he had belonged in FableWood more than any of them, Kallin's present company excluded of course.


He wandered over to the window, only now taking the time to notice what was actually beyond it...which was nothing, and a lot of it. Kallin stepped up beside the newcomer and just decided to say the first thing that came to his mind;


"I like your cape." He remarked, the brim of his wide, pointed hat tilted slightly as he inclined his head in greeting. "I've seen a lot of capes, and people think they look good in them, but I think you actually manage to pull it off."


He couldn't grin, not without a solid face, but his blank, glowing eyes narrowed slightly.


"Kallin." He said. "I'd welcome you...but I have no idea where where we are."


@Invisible monster
 
Euli winced as he listened to the two ladies' exchange, and earnestly hoped that he wouldn't be involved in whatever they planned to do to each other. Both of them seemed more of the... Fight and combat Werecats, almost like the others back at Mora's Forest. That's just exactly what he wanted to get away from.


As the two spoke to each other, Euli heard the voice of the Fox Spirit again, and breathed out a sigh of relief. Anything to get away from this. As much as he appreciate meeting his own kind after a few years, he preferred not to be meddled in something so tense just yet.


"Pardon me, but I'll just go and speak to that small cutie right there, but I'll catch up to you ladies. Maybe." With that, Euli slipped away and went to the Spirit's side, not at all bothered by his snarky comment. "And what can I do for you? Perhaps a makeover? That kimono is nice and all, but want to try out a yukata?"





@Lioness075 @StoneWolf18 @Aiakaos
 
Lyon looked over at the strange figure beside him. "Uh, thank you!" Lyon smiled at him. He was glad of someone to talk to. He knew the void could only keep him interested so long, and then he'd have to revisit that question he'd asked himself at the beginning: What the hell? This guy seemed nice enough, despite his odd appearance. Lyon wasn't too phased by that; living in the vast cityport of Badene, you met all sorts of weird people. Lyon took the narrowing of the man's glowing golden eyes as a good sign, and introduced himself."My name's Lyon. And yeah, I'm as confused as you are, I think!" He thumbed over the edge of his cloak, his restless fingers curling the fabric around in his hand. Pawing at his ear, he frowned. "Dammit! I was up really high before, and the pressure's different in here. My head feels like it's gonna implode!"
 
Ryou Hayashi

​



Ryou's ear twitched as the lad dressed in exploding colors, much too chaotic for his liking, stood next to him. Irked by how he was called, he had the urge to grab the being by his shirt collar again but he just..couldn't, it was as if something kept him from acting physically aggressive. Even more bothered at how he couldn't take out his anger, not even subtly, on the lad, he simply kept his arms crossed.


Small. He had been called small. He couldn't believe this.





"Shut up with the yukata talk and answer his human if you don't want me to slap that cap off of your head."





He rolled his eyes and glanced at the fallen vampire once more, "Mister, you're going to get stepped on if you keep lying there." He stopped talking. Did he just..? The fox spirit tossed the thought away as soon as it popped into his mind. No, he couldn't have possibly worried about bloodsucker over there. He never worried about the welfare of other species, much less his own kind. Ryou blinked as he stared at the vampire before glaring at Castille, or whatever his name was, he didn't care.





@SpectroVector @Dawnsx
 
"Pleasure Lyon." Kallin said, shifting his gaze back out to the nothingness. When the sky captain mentioned his head would implode he shrugged.


"Well, if it must, but despite the patches I do try to keep my robes clean, so, over there, if you please. Otherwise, I suppose we're stuck here to amuse ourselves until these gods deem it time for us to be pitted against one another like animals...lousy, omnipotent louts..." Kallin had had enough of games like this in the recent past.


"I've literally just come from a crazed king chucking my friends and I in an arena to fight savage monsters...have you ever seen a jabberwocky? All teeth and claws and bad breath, I tell you, not fun in the slightest. I nearly got flattened by it when it was brought down." He glanced nervously at the hell hounds across the room panting attentively at their master. He could tell right away that he would not fancy dancing with them.


"Tell me about your world. Do you come from FableWood?"
 
Ryou Hayashi, what an amusing character. The unique sense of sarcasm and his impatient temper reminded Leo of a proud little kid. Leo even wanted to smile, a proud little kid is always somehow adorable although troublesome. Perhaps the name Small Cutie does suit him. And whoever came up with that name--He must be a good person, someone he could be friends with, someone he could come up with all kinds of interesting nicknames with.


It paused his thoughts for a moment though when he realized the lad who has just came over and allow a make-over with is the extremely pink and fancy dude with weird fashion senses. Perhaps not weird, perhaps he's just not used to it. Leo agreed to himself in his mind--all kinds of people are brought here, maybe he's just from some sort of hot pink magical island with green unicorns, where each person make themselves look equally....Fancy? Sparkly?


Or maybe what he's wearing is normal, and he's the weird one wearing weird clothes.


Interesting.


"I'm not a hunter, rather...A traveller," he replied to Ryou's earlier question. "I've been sent here after hearing some sort of God's voice...If I'm right. How about you? Who brought the Almighty Fox Dwarf---I mean Spirit, here?" He mumbled an apology after accidentally calling out the name that he's been thinking of calling this fox shortie in his mind for awhile.


Eldo let out a tiny little yelp once again, and urged to climb back to Ryou, probably because the both of them are foxes. It growled angrily at the pink lad who just arrived, most likely because he noticed that whatever he said has agitated the fox spirit. For Leo, who has been with Eldo for the longest time, could exactly understand what he's saying:


"Don't disrespect the Almoghty Cute Foxy Spirit!"


And with that, the little fox lunged at the pink lad, hitting the other right on the head enough that it knocked his cap off, and exposing his....Cat ears.


(@Aiakaos @Dawnsx )
 
"No, I'm from Badene. It's this... giant... floating town. And it's a port. A really big one." Lyon laughed a little. "I've been to the mainland about once, when I was ten or so." He looked over at Kallin, smiling. "What about you? You said something about a jabberwocky? There's no monsters in my world, is all." Sticking his hands in his pockets, he shrugged. "Well, there's pirates, I guess. Pirates are pretty bad. You do not want a run in with a pirate ship,any day." Lyon realised he was getting off point. "What about your world?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
 
"No monsters? Count yourself lucky." He listened to when Lyon had to say about his home world. Looking about him at the others he could determine that they all came from extremely varied places.


"Oh the jabberwocky was the worst thing I'd faced in a while, I tend not to make a habit of angering giant slobbering beasts. Unless you count my masters at High Tower, where I trained. They could give even a jabberwocky a run for its money!"


Kallin thought for a moment, Lyon didn't seem too introduced to magic either.


"FableWood," he began "is a world of stories and dreams...made real by whatever magic that decided it was worth it to do so. I suppose out there, somewhere there are people who write stories, or tell them, and from their minds my world was made...and me too I suppose, but I digress," He eyed the bristling fox warily.


"I hope they don't start a fight in here...This place doesn't look all that sturdy...oop, too late."


@Invisible monster
 
"Well, if it was created by the gods, I'd guess it'd be stronger than it looks." Lyon said, watching the fight from the window pane. "Fablewood, huh? It sounds really cool. My world doesn't have magic or anything like that." Lyon turned to Kallin and grinned. "Well, there's flying stuff. Lots and lots of flying things. Towns, ships..." The grin remained on his face as he continued. "The ships are the best thing, really. I grew up around them, I guess, but they never really seemed to lose the sense of wonder, you know? It'll never stop feeling amazing, being out there. Do you know what I mean?" Lyon looked at Kallin, looking for some sign of agreement, but his face was damn near impossible to read.
 
Luness was surprised to hear that the panther wasn't actually a werecat. What was she then? Focusing on the matter of discussion at hand, Luness heard the panther's question, but still lightly growling at being called a half-breed. After all, she had been birthed by a werecat...and a werewolf. Replying to the panther, Luness then said, "I'm not a half breed. From my world, I am an Alpha of a werewolf pack...despite obvious differences."


@StoneWolf18


Hearing Kallin's voice suddenly, Luness had begun tuning out the surprised entrances since they were so common at the moment, Luness brightened up and she grinned at him before replying, "Considering how powerful these gods are, I doubt you should walk around mocking them."


Before she could continue with her discussion with Kallin though, he had wandered off to talk with another newcomer.


Shrugging, Luness returned her attention to the panther, wondering both what her name was and what exactly she was. Was she always a panther?


@SilverFlight
 



Roxxane Lexanna

Awesome and Super Cool Mail Carrier (and Former Assassin)



​



Roxxane's morning began when she had a heart attack. Well, not really, but she almost did. A large booming voice was exclaiming (more like screeching), 'You have been chosen by the Gods to participate in an almighty set of trials. Win, and you will earn the ultimate glory. Lose, and you will disappoint us. Good luck, challenger!' Of course, Roxxane wasn't listening, so it sounded more like, 'You have been roasted by the Gods to appreciate in an all might he set of vials. Win, and you will learn the ultimate glory. Lose, and you will disappoint Gus. Good luck, challenger!'





"Who the heckity-who-ha (bad censorship) is Gus?" Exclaimed Roxxane, not realizing she was in a lobby instead of her bedroom. "Why is he disappointed??" She then looked around and realized she was in "a lobby instead of her bedroom". "Oh! Hi! Haha...!" She had to restrain herself from exploding. Foxy Spirits, jabberwockys, floating towns, it seemed everyone had a story to tell. And at least this time, so did she! She rushed up to the nearest person and said: "Hii'mRoxxanewannaknowhowIgottheDeathNote?" It turns out the nearest person was Ryou.


​
 
At the Fox Spirit's threat, Euli couldn't help but flinch. Who knew such an adorable being could have such a big temper? As if responding to the Spirit's annoyance, another small fox growled at Euli, and he had to wonder if everyone here had bad tempers. Before he could even attempt to appease the two foxes, the smaller of the two lunged at him.


"Wait, I'm sorry, not my face!" Euli's hands flew to cover his features from the wrath of the little fox, but the pain never came. Instead, he felt a cool breeze on his head. His hands left his face to reach for his head, and an expression of terror and disbelief crossed his face when his fingers felt his own ears. His eyes then lowered to the floor, where the hat has fallen, and Euli practically wailed out, "You expose me, and you drop my hat?"





Euli's tail swished wildly behind him, and the cardigan around his waist now served absolutely no purpose. He sniffed and bent down to pick up his hat and patted it clean while casting tearful eyes at the Spirit, the traveller, and his furry companion. "I thought that all nicely dressed people must be good people, but I've lost my faith in you!"
 
Dilan walked in the building and looked at the various people "all soon to be dinner...." He mumbled happily. He went over to a table and pulled up a chair "can't wait" he said smiling. He sat down and leaned back in the chair with his feet on the table. He looked around the room for something to do. There were some people talking about foxes. Some talking about fashion. There was some guy who kicked the door open and yelled random stuff "a very strange collection of people..." He grumbled as he crossed his arms


@anyone :P
 
"Airships? I've always wanted to ride an airship. We have them in FableWood, but they are extremely rare."


Kallin eyed the two beings as they fought (if you could call it that). The attacker was most certainly some sort of fox, the attackee was...a werecat? But he looked nothing like the werecat Kallin had had experience with. His reaction made Kallin laugh however, perhaps louder than he should have.


Kallin noticed Luness' conversation with the other feline creature had died a bit and waved her over.


"The gods can go mount their trials..." He grumbled in response to her earlier statement. "This is ridiculous..." He regarded the man with cotton-candy pink hair as he recovered from the fox's attack. "In many ways..."


@Invisible monster @Lioness075 @Dawnsx
 
Luness raised an eyebrow when Kallin waved her over, but decided that the panther could follow after Luness if she really wanted to continue their discussion.


@StoneWolf18


Leaving the panther behind her, Luness then walked over to Kallin's side, unsure of who the newcomer was beside him, but not exactly caring at the moment.


@Invisible monster


Hearing Kallin's grumbling, Luness rolled her eyes. She could only guess that after calling all of them here, wherever here was, that the gods wouldn't smite them for being upset with them.


Seeing the pink-haired man who Kallin was referring to, Euli, Luness furrowed her brows and then asked Kallin, "How does one get pink colored hair like that?"


Once she saw Euli's cat ears revealed along with his tail though, Luness became increasingly confused by the man's frantic and dismayed actions. Why would anyone be upset to show what they truly were, especially if they're merely a werecat?


@SilverFlight @Dawnsx
 
Interested in what the female werecat had to say, yet Fel still wanted to deal with the one wailing in the corner. Turning to him, she snapped "What is your problem? There are no dogs here to chase you." But besides that, she relaxed a bit. She let her cloak open, having the dark cloth drape behind her back. With her hands placed upon her hips, revealed her choice of clothing, a simple hide loincloth, a bra to match, cloth wrapping mid feet to heel. This also shown her build. Fel was lean yet well muscled. Her legs and arms were well defined and her stomach held quite the 6 pack. It's amazing what actually working for a living can do to you. As she scanned the male werecat thing in front of her, Fel was questioning the world he came from. If this is how they all dressed and acted. She stifled a sigh, Fel held a slight pity for him. From living in the lap of luxury to be thrown into a deadly arena, it wouldn't end well for him.

She already had enough on her plate. Too much. She could practically hear Inter's voice in her head, the stinging of it, the pain. His laugh. His retched laugh.


But everything got fuzzy. She was blind. She couldn't see Mist, or Chastity, or Rye or Eury or Percy.. anywhere. She couldn't see anything. It was bright and white and she tried to shield her eyes, but there wasn't even a point. Her stomach felt strange. She felt strange. What was this?


'You have been chosen by the Gods to participate in an almighty set of trials. Win, and you will earn the ultimate glory. Lose, and you will disappoint us. Good luck, challenger!'


This would normally be the part where Sapphire would begin to kick or punch or yell. But she felt strangely.. okay with it? Almost sedated. The bright white began to fade away. She could see again. The place was incredible, a modern, lavish building.


Sapphire was confused. Gods? Trials, glory? What was this? She had a team to get back to. A team that needed her. She didn't have time for this.

"Y-you.. you JERK!" Aria screamed. "You hurt him! Look at him! He.. he needs a doctor! I can't believe you! Is this how you plan to g-get out of this place? By beating up all the people who are trying to help us?! You say that you're thinking of everyone.. but you're just thinking.. just thinking of.." Aria's fists became clenched as she stomped towards Rudy. "JUST THINKING OF YOURSELF!!" Aria yelled as she pushed her hands out and shoved him, harder than she had probably ever done anything.


Do you know what the main difference was between his thoughts towards Aria and his thoughts towards Aku? Rudolph didn't care for Aku. Rudy wasn't here to be liked. He didn't expected to be loved. But he wasn't afraid to do the things the others were unwilling to do, or think or say the things the others wouldn't. He wasn't afraid to do what it took. By god he fully planned to do whatever it took to get everyone home safe.


He vaguely heard Aria shouting something as he looked down at Colton. Rolf turned slowly, turning to face Aria when he felt her hands land on him and push. Immediately Rudy went off balance. No way he could have expected something like that from her... And no way she could have expected what happened next... From a shove like that, Rudy had to take a step to right himself, but as close as they were to the river, that one step landed him on the edge of the bank. Upon receiving Rudolph's weight, the ledge crumbled, and his foot continued to fall and Rudy with it.


Falling backwards now, he was looking at Aria with a surprised look on his face, eyes wide and his hands reaching out for anything to grab onto as his mind seemed to know exactly where he was falling. The water enveloped him as he landed in it with a splash. It was like a blur after that, the waters of the river were powerful and turbulent. By the time he had righted himself to gasp for air, the current of the river fought like a demon around him. The current taking hold of him and pulling him under... into the churning depths of the river. He tumbled, losing all sense of which way was up or down as it pulled him further and further towards the seemingly bottomless end, the water was getting cold and tight. His ears popped and the air was forced from his lungs as he tried to scream for help only to be replaced by fiery pain of water rushing in to takes it's place. He couldn't breath. The water threw him around like he was a rag doll... it was getting darker at this depth, not that he could see as his vision faded despite great pain in his chest. The panic to breath, and struggle of knowing that he was about to die. But all that struggle was for nothing... Before he lost everything, before his struggle ended, only one last thought passed through his mind. It was that he wasn't going to be around anymore to make sure that they would be safe. Darkness over took him as he sank to the depths...


'You have been chosen by the Gods to participate in an almighty set of trials. Win, and you will earn the ultimate glory. Lose, and you will disappoint us. Good luck, challenger!'


Everything Rudy knew was blackness and coldness, but those words... they blasted through his head like thunder and a wave of energy surged through him as the world began to swirl and change. There was a dramatic change in pressure, as if he was being pulled from the water by some unknown force, rising higher and higher until his head finally broke the surface of the water, at first he couldn't see. With a body still struggling for oxygen he took a mighty gasp to fill his burning lungs... but this only lead to choking and coughing out the water he had been drowning on. he reach his hands out to try to stay afloat, but they touched something like stone. It felt like a wall? Whatever it was he clung on to it... only to realize that his knees where on something solid too. What... He didn't care. hanging over the wall, gasping for air, the cloudiness in his head and vision began to fade away to reveal the surroundings.


He was... he was in a fountain? Panting now, he looked around, trying to figure out where the hell he was now. And whatever the heck just happened. Those words still rang in his ears, that voice. Gods. Challengers. Trials... blah... he has been through enough trials. Maybe this was Seyena's doing.... or Ethel's... or maybe some other Dreamlord was getting involved. He wouldn't put it past the witch to lie about how many dreamlords there were. Whatever... there was more to worry about. Like all these strange-looking dream people walking around the lobby of this building. Lovely... Aria really did dream up some weird shit. As far as he was concerned, he was still in the dreamscape. He had seen a lot of weird stuff and frankly not much was going to surprise him very easily. But that didn't stop him from looking like a deer in headlights as he hung on the fountain wall, still in the water. He practically drowned. Give him a break.

Euli's wailing ceased upon the sight of the other's body. Or rather, the sight of her clothing. She certainly does have a fantastic build, and what she was wearing certainly succeeded in bringing out the fine points of her body. Though, it was just a tad too plain for his tastes. He could envision her wearing something of leather that would definitely bring some pizazz. With all of his ideas in mind, he made a mental note to look around for a clothing shop of some sorts.


Finally getting around to the her question, Euli huffed in slight annoyance at being asked what his problem was the second time.


"I don't know what kind of world you came from, but in my world, I'd be slaughtered by humans if I reveal myself." He then turned to the Werecat with a mangled body and her companion, "My hair isn't ridiculous. It's completely natural." He paused for a second, then turned back around, excitement evident in his eyes. "After this whole thing is figured out, we should go on a shopping trip together. You would look totally amazing in blue."

Alec


Flight to the Death

Alec felt himself waking. He opened his eyes and saw the catman looking down at him. He squealed, quietly. He felt just as terrified as he had before, but now he felt powerless and docile. "Am I in hell?" He said almost inaudibly. He gulped and put his arms up near his face, as if waiting for some demonic weapon to strike him down. The place was totally unfamiliar to him, and he could still hear buzzing and beeping. The lights seemed brighter now, possibly because he was staring up at the fluorescent bulbs, slowly giving himself a migraine. He was fascinated in an extremely terrified way. He could feel his legs getting colder, so he sat up, backed away from the cat man and pulled them up, weakly( @Aiakaos ). He didn't feel like standing up just yet.


He looked at the other people in the room. There was another man in the room, with dark hair like his own ( @KingHink ). He looked younger, though and he was wearing rather peculiar clothes. He was also drenched. "You sir!" He called out and jumped up. He skipped towards the other man and stood beside him. "I do not know if you are aware, but I believe that we are in hell!" He emphasised the word hell, with a loud yelp. He was still wearing his dinner jacket, but the heat was getting to him. He took it off and threw it down beside him. He rolled up his shirt sleeves and looked as if he was about to design some sort of invention. "We must fight them!" He spoke shakily. "I am not a very good shot, so lets hope that you, stranger, have what it takes!" He sounded pitiful.
