Fantasy Under The Watch (Remake)

[Redwing]

Cortanno, as it's called by its inhabitants, is a wretched hive of scum and villainy. There is no truly 'good' part of it. The noble's district is filled with rich snobs and corrupt officials who would gladly stomp on the poor rather than help them. The poor district is filled with murderers and thieves. Nearly every store and tavern is in dept or has a deal with a gang. The few good people of the city hide their deeds because of the city's ruler, Tyson Monsoon. The guy is a god among men. Nearly immortal, incredibly powerful, and incredibly dangerous. He has no loyalty to anyone but himself. Some say that he is a demigod, though most believe that he is simply a sort of 'representative' of the god of death. His god heals his wounds and gives him his powers, but only if he is pleased. The god will only heal Tyson's wounds if the god is pleased, meaning that whenever Tyson makes a large enough mistake, the god will take Tyson's powers away. He will let him have his mortality, but will not give his powers back until he pleases the god again. No one in Cortanno has ever tried to overthrow the man. All know of his ability in combat, and all realize the futile effort that would be his impeachment. 'The Watch' is Tyson's police force, a highly trained group who travel in pairs.


(Short version - The city of Cortanno is a land of fantasy creatures, but horrible people. There are next to no actual good people, but the few that do exist are not willing to rise against the leader of the country, Tyson Monsoon. He is nearly immortal and incredibly powerful, which is why no one tries to kill him.)


Rules:


1. No godmodding.


2. Be active, please. At least one post a week, preferably more.


3. Let everyone else post before you post again, make sure everyone has a chance.


4. There will be 6 spots available, excluding me. Once those spots are taken up, I cannot accept anyone else, sorry.


5. Fade to black if necessary.


6. In terms of character creation, any fantasy creature is allowed (as long as it's not overpowered), even hybrids of fantasy creatures.


7. Be respectful to each other, arguing and fighting in character is fine, but don't take it to OOC chat.

Connor opened the door to the tavern, silently walking in with Arno behind him. A bartender was serving a few non-humans off to the left, while about a dozen tables were filled with multiple species eating and drinking. At the back of the room was a flight of stairs, most likely leading up to the rooms. The two friends walked to the bar. Connor sat at a stool, while Arno sat on the ground beside him. "Just some water, then we're out of here, buddy." The half-demon petted his dog before ordering from the bartender.

 

[Abana]

Aimee strolled through the streets until she saw a tavern, pursing her lips debating if she was going to waste time getting food or if she should go ahead and scare humans. "Drink then scare." Grinning she pushes the tavern door open noticing a wolf like dog at the front, shrugging she picked out a booth and plopped down drumming her nails on the wooden table. A waitress rushed forward, "Wha..what would.. you like?", she stuttered probably because whispers were growing about Aimee. Some could be heard but she ignored them, she was dangerous but you were safe if serving her food and refreshments. "Tequila, please, with some onion rings." The waitress rushed off and Aimee covered her mouth to laugh, they didn't serve onion rings but that human would bend over backwards to find some.

 

[Redwing]

Drink in hand, Connor gulped down half of his glass before letting Arno drink some. After making sure no one saw the dog drink from the cup, the young man placed a few coins on the counter and quickly walked towards the exit, hoping to avoid too much attention. He opened the door, only to see at least two dozen members of the Watch starring at him, weapons drawn.

 

[Abana]

Aimee lounged in her booth drink tequila, she was barely feeling the buzz from the alcohol. Chugging down the rest she slammed the shot on the table, she had six shots and she was fine. Standing up, stretched and started for the door only to stop a man and his dog stood by the door. Puzzled she stood on her toes to look over his shoulder, dude you're in the way, she yelled in her head. Once she was high enough to see over his shoulder, Aimee gasped softly, "the Watch?!", she wasn't sure what to do and they were blocking the exit. I could jump out a window, thinking this she couldn't suppress a giggling fit.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"So Nyx, up for a drink?" He asks, seemingly talking to the cat on his shoulders. The cat mewed in reply, to which he smiled. While some would think he was crazy, none dared to voice it out, and that is for one reason. "Don't you think they got my nose wrong?" He asked the cat, looking at a wanted poster of him. "Why should I care?" The cat replied, it meows understandable by him. "Aw come one, don't be such a sour puss." He joked, walking towards the tavern. "A mug of your finest ale!" He hollered as he entered the tavern, only to be met by at least two dozen Watch members, their weapons drawn. "Oh come on, I did nothing this time!" He complained, but the grin remained on his face.

 

[Redwing]

"We're here for the arrest of Aimee Guerrero, Sebastion Briarthrone, and Connor... wait a minute." The watch member looked at the wanted posters, then to the people standing in front of him, and then back at the wanted posters. "You two are Aimme Guerrero and Connor D-" He was cut off by another member of the Watch. "I see Sebastion here too!" "You all are under arrest, hands in the air!"

 

[Abana]

She blinked as she nibbled her lower lip, Why are they here for us?, "Excuse me, these people you are arresting, is there a reason for it?" She tentatively raised her hand attempting to gain the watch member's attention. She scanned the members for any opening in cause a fight broke out, because she wasn't going quietly but they knew who she was so maybe she did do something? Sighing she stood there hoping they would answer her question.

 

[Redwing]

"I said, hands in the air!" One of the Watch members pointed their crossbow at the woman. "We know who you are, Aimee!" Connor, feeling that no one would aid him in a fight, slowly raised his hands in the air and lowered his head, doing his best to hide his face from the Watch. A couple of guards had handcuffs out, eyeing Sebastion, Aimee, and Connor.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

He just laughed, but his voice was...off. It sounded deeper and harsher, the sound of an impending storm. "Oh dear, I do believe that you don't know who you're dealing with. Maybe them, you can push around, no offence." He said to the two, whom he presumed to be the other ones, Aimee and Connor. "But you're making a big mistake if you think you can handle me. Whoever runs this tavern, I am truly sorry for the damages that the tavern may suffer. Do not worry, I shall reimburse you!" He called out to the owner, the malicious grin still on his face.

 

[Abana]

Aimee growled but held onto her human form, raising her hands, "I deserve an answer, you mongrel!" People that filled the tavern, gasped and ducked behind anything they could. She glared at the one she presumed to be Sebastian, "Excuse me? Even you don't want to mess with me right now, queer freak." She always called people names when she was angry. "Don't you dare inflict any damage here, last thing I need is a building on my head! Let's just see what they want, I'm sure you boys can escape like I can." She left her hands in the air waiting to be handcuffed as she whispered the last part, knowing Sebastian and Connor heard her loud and clear.

 

[Redwing]

Connor sighed at the little dispute. He had a feeling that a fight was going to break out, which was probably good, since that was part of the plan. One of the Watch quickly walked towards him with handcuffs, probably intent on shutting down any notion of battle. Connor lowered one hand and pulled his cloth mask up to, and over, his nose. "Arno..." A moment later, the Watch member was screeching in pain as the wolfdog dug its teeth into his leg and jerked him to the ground. Connor kicked the man's head and whipped out his dagger and sword.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

He laughs out loud as the guy, Connor, attacked the guard. "Aw, look Nyx, he has a dog. I think we found you a new best friend." He said to his cat. Oh please, as if I'd go near that filthy mutt. She said, looking annoyed. "All right , jeez such a kill joy." He said to her. One of the guards went to him, about to put on a handcuff on him. But the moment he touched Sebastian, a strong surge of electricity hit the guard and sent him flying in the air.

 

[Abana]

"Why am I always ignored?", Aimee said to no one as a guard latched a handcuff to her wrist. She growled baring demonic fangs and moved quickly in a circle to dislodge the man's shoulder. She bit down hard on another guard's arm when he tried to reach for her and restrain her. Aimee watched as a guard was his with some kind of static sensation, "Now that was cool." She grinned and was tackled to the ground from behind, "OOMF! Hey no raping on the first date!!" She twisted around and slammed her head against the guard's.

 

[Redwing]

One of the larger looking guards raised his sword. "Attack!" Connor parried one man's sword, hit him in the throat, and tripped them with his sword. He could feel his arm glowing through the sleeve, which only annoyed him. As more guards kept attacking, he had an idea. He grabbed one of his trick-arrows, then slammed it into the face of one of the guards. Smoke erupted near the man's face, and expanded until every guard was in a cloud of smoke.

 

[Abana]

The guard she head butted fell limp on top of her, "Oh come on, now you fall asleep mid-rape?! I'm not that bad!! Ah!" Another guard had grabbed her arms and another grabbed her legs, Aimee began to freak out as her claustrophobic nature came up full force making Aimee scream at the top of her lungs shattering the windows. Her heart was slamming against her rib cage and her eyes so wide they could explode as her horns began to protrude through her hair. The guards held down tighter as one yelled loudly over all the noise, 'She's shifting, sir!!!!!' , 'Knock her out!', the captain yelled back. Aimee screamed and thrashed desperate to escape and run away to hide, Baby Aims, the coward sibling, entire family killed and all she did was hide under the bed. tears began to fall as the memory flashed it's ugly head at her but she continued to scream and violently thrash trying to dislodge the guards but more joined in to hold her down. She stared up at a guard that stood over her about to slam his boot onto her face, "NO!!" She screamed.

[CrimsonEclipse]

Sebastian laughs in delight as the brawl starts. "Oh well Nyx, at least we didn't start it this time." He said, thrusting his hands through a guards chest plate, his clawed gauntlets easily tearing through the metal. The guard fell dead, his eyes wide open. He blasted another one with lightning, charring the poor soldier. "Don't worry, I won't be as weak as him. You can rape me after this?" He said to the girl, Aimee, with a wink. His eyes started to glow, and he shot a massive bolt of lighting on the guards, not hitting Aimee. He helped her up. "Jeez, they sure wanted a gangbang." He said, laughing out loud.

 

[Abana]

She growled at Sebastian but couldn't help but return his smile, "Thank you. And I don't cooperate very well when attempted to be raped unless I'm willing." Her smile turned wicked. She looked at the guards that had piled on top of her, "Could've left me at least one so I could've tore his jugular out with my teeth and make him eat it." Aimee grumbled, no longer feeling claustrophobic, she crossed her arms but was feeling still scared so she kept lose to Sebastian hoping he didn't mind.

 

[Redwing]

"..." Connor kept silent, taking out a few guards. His plan was going well, so far no one (other than the watch) had gotten killed, and despite his disliking to death, at least it was to people who deserved it. Guards began to run in fright as they witnessed their allies getting electrocuted, stabbed, cut, and killed. "Arno, come here." Connor called. He approached the two other people that were attacked. His dog approached them as well. "We need to talk. Either of you have a safe place to go?"

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

He laughed out loud at Aimee's replies. "Don't worry, you can judge my performance later." He said to her, winking at her. He looked around him, and the guards were either dead on the floor or running with their tail between their legs. "Well, no. There's no safe place here in this city, but hey, we make a pretty good team." He said to them. (Sorry guys, it's morning here and I have to go to class. Bye!)

 

[Abana]

Aimee pursed her lips to keep from laughing at Sebastian's comment, turning she looked at Connor, "I have a home out in the forest, it's about a 10 min walk but it's hidden and humans can't access the grounds there. We could head there, maybe you could explain why the Watch is after us specifically?" Aimee tilted her head, her human features had returned when Sebastian had saved her but she was still wary. She wasn't sure if inviting these two to her home was a safe idea but right now it didn't matter. (I'm going to bed! Goodnight!)

 

[Redwing]

Connor's eyes widened at the mention of not being human. How did they know...? He looked down at his arm and remembered how brightly it had been glowing. Right. He took a deep breath and calmed himself a bit, causing the glowing to go down until it could not longer be seen. "A house where humans can't go, that's better than nothing. Show us the way, if you would."

 

[Abana]

Aimee nodded and led the way out of the tavern, making her way down the street. She was uneasy about traveling the street right now, people still walked around and the Watch could be anywhere. It took no less than five minutes to make it to the edge of town, the forest looked eerie but welcoming, a safe haven from guards and anyone else that wanted to hunt creatures like Aimee, Sebastian, or Connor. She figured Sebastian was some kind of Sky creature but not sure what exactly and Connor she honestly didn't know, his arm had glowed at the tavern but that was the only evidence of not being human. Within ten minutes, as she had said, her home came into sight, it was shrouded in mist around the perimeter so she grabbed their hands and led them through it. It was oddly beautiful with vines climbing the sides and the woods rotting but it was home, "we're here."

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Sebastian slyly grinned at Aimee. "So, are you assuming all of us are non humans here?" He asked her. "Well, I don't know about the other guy, but I sure as hell ain't human." He said, his body flickering from human to demon, but only for a few seconds. He followed Aimee until they reached the woods. "Ooh, not too shabby." He said to her.

 

[Abana]

She nodded to Sebastian, acknowledging what he had said. The only thing they had seen of her was her horns an maybe her teeth so she wasn't worried. "Thanks, it could use some work but it's not like I know how to build or anything. I found this when I had fled my homeland and it just called to me." She spoke with wonder in her voice, she loved it here. Walking forward she opened to door, the splinters creaking and screaming, she stop back and held her arm up allowing Connor and Sebastian entry, "Don't step on anything that's furry." Aimee grinned, there was always a rodent running around but they left her alone so she left them alone.
