Really? Huh, okay then, lemme fix that I'm not here much, you people scare me

So there's this guy, who drew me some cool pics of Kai and Terra and Nick, and his name is Daos. Maybe you know him ;7

Anyways, I first found him by his awesome pencil work, and he's offering bust pencils for a little bit more than what you pay for the game a month [edited for non-specific pricing], I know you guys love his stuff and live on ramen, and not everyone watches dA, so I thought I'd share that news. Don't mob the poor guy please

If you like a piece, especially a commissioned piece, don't PM/email/note the owner of it and ask/plead/beg/threaten them to somehow get you free art from the artist. Its both dishonest and annoying.

Nick Parker, blind librarian, Shakespeare afficianado, master of style and blade. Terra Aureus, hero for hire, biker, gambler, tactical powerhouse with a sword. Who knows what they see in each other.

Terra and Nick by DaosX

I remember what is it and why its is not attacking us? Great conversation of 'You poke it. I'm not poking it, you're the blaster, hit it with something at range. Nuh uh, it'll sqiush me, debuff it or something.'

I remember when Rain of Fire and Caltrops was THE way to level fast

I am happy for you to be able to do something new, but sad for all of us left behind. Your honest and geniune humor and friendship made these forums more of a home than a place to visit.

It will be hard not seeing your name here, looking out for us, posting info you know we'd appreciate and taking our causes to those in charge no matter how odd when we're passionate.

As with Gil, we'll lose a great listener and friend with your departure and I hope you'll come check in on us when you can.

Saul His uncle as well as agent IIRC. Did you know that at one point in time 'Ascendant making a phone call' was considered a valid event to report in the purview of at least one Virtue event announcement only channel?

Did you know that the sign on the building just north and east of the tram in Kings Row used to actually state "guns" instead of just having the picture? ((Which made my naming it on virtue make more sense, my poor gunshop ))

Off topic, but Psuedotron, what the hell is your avatar?! I take it is an Eva/? crossover opening sequence, but I don't get the reference offhand

Did you know

...that when The Hollows launched the Outcasts were transposed directly from Steel Canyon, they listed at levels 5-7 but were capable of powers approproate to level 15?

Hey, all for having a way to get Isolator, I compulsively collect badges and a way to actually get that one would be nice.

((Heh, like I said, timing, I've been playing with getting Ashe into FUTURE, and it was a good hook even if I didn't get a chance to get into the PvP. As for Silvester, SW knows who I am player wise so thought I'd throw something out for him for some more RP ))

((Oh sure, because timing is everything ))

The miserable club had been decidedly less miserable lately, a fact which irritated her. Liking the place was something she did, and with the increased interaction on both sides of the law, the last thing she wanted was for people to start seeing similarities and connecting the dots. Having the entire incident get to be public knowledge would hurt her credability, sure, but her own reputation and even identity would be called into question, and she could not afford that, especially right now.

Her conversation with Aeterna had been brief, there had been a mutual understanding of the situation without saying much. He had extended the offer and she had accepted, more a formality than a question. FUTURE needed the boost in prestige and reputation another villain joining the cause would provide, she needed the network of contacts and allies he could provide more. In truth their goals were not that dissimiliar to her own and their methodologies were a good deal more sound than most she had the ill fortune to meet on the Isles.

A few at the club had expressed thinly disguised suprise at her newfound affiliation, but there seemed to have been an unspoken acceptance by other FUTURE members, a facade of a unified front against outsiders, or genuine trust that an invitation would not have been proffered unless it was earned, she could not have said. She had intended to find out however.

So had become her routine, find one of her new allies and learn what it was they wanted, what it was that drove them, and what about them she could exploit or should be wary of. It was interesting to note who came to the club, who refrained from the interaction, and what the various members thought they could accomplish. Occasionally, things became more intriguing however, such as why Silvester Sanguine was skulking along the edges of the dance floor, concernedly escorting a rather controversial and recently missing heroine. A smirk tugged at her lips and she made a note to corner that one sometime soon, it could prove to be an interesting conversation.

The slide of her thoughts against ones not quite hers made her scowl. With a barely supresed expletive, she headed towards th elevator.

This doesn't concern you.
Should it?
Does it matter what I answer?
No, not really.
Then keep your hypocracy to yourself

Wyld felt Ashe retreat out of the boundaries of Pocket D, and stepped inside the club herself, pausing a moment to direct a few rude gestures in the direction she assumed the Rogue Isles to be in. "If I was sure you'd actually stay that way, and I wouldn't, you'd be so dead..."

(its tangential, but what the hell )

"...yeah I hear their negotiating."
"That's stupid of them, no wonder their names getting dragged in the mud.."

"...Rakescar. Have you met him?"
"Yeah, a real professional, not the type to..."

She really did detest this place. The lights, the music, the complete meat market spectacle. Its only redeeming factor was its wealth of information ready for the taking. Ashe cast a searching thought along the link that persisted between herself and Wyld, making sure she had no plans on coming near. A frustrating peculiarity of Pocket D, they couldn't both be here. The feedback on both of them was debilitatingly unbearable, and actually destabilizing to the dimension itself. One of Wyld's older memories was of a dimension hopper named Valerie Vincent, who claimed dimensions tried to make you conform to its reality. If that was the case, this little pocket would certainly have problems trying to reconcile a semi-split conciousness.

Satisfied that Wyld was elsewhere for a while, she entered the club, and was met with a wall of dull pounding from the subwoofers, reminding her how she wished she could empty the place and get rid of it. They wanted to label her a villain so be it, but she had no intention of helping the image by deliberatly causing a dimensional collapse which would kill hundreds. Property destruction was not out of the question however.

Inane conversation swirled around her as she slipped through the crowds, looking for particular someones. The debacle of Clobber Girl's abduction at the hands of Rakescar funded by FUTURE was all over the Isles, and Aeterna Firebrand's name had fallen from respectable to laughable. Which of course provided a number of intriguing opportunities with sizable leverage for someone who knew how to play the game.

She almost missed one of said someones, in the most unlikely of company. Ireland Love, Red-Eye, Comrade Smersh, all pillars of heroism Wyld, and therefore she, had never met but knew by reputation. And in the middle of it, one Irish Hyena, member of FUTURE.

"Nice to put a face with surviellence." she murmered as she passed, taking a seat in the corner of the upstairs bar, interested to see what he was doing with these heroes.

"Eh?"

"Let's just say your...organization is proving intriguing and I'm quite interested to see how it all plays out."

He seemed to stare at her a moment before taking another swig of his flask and turning back to the conversation.

And what an uninteresting conversation it was. The details escaped her notice, some desperate idiot thinking she was Wyld kept getting in her way until another who wanted to 'rescue' her gave her a few moments of peace, but whatever it was had no bearing on her and was only serving to make it increasingly difficult to have the conversation she was here for. She felt the light brush of Wyld's inquisitive mind, and scowled. It couldn't be helped, she'd have to simply play her hand for now.

"Much as I love the conversation, this place bores me. Irish Hyena, please be so kind as to pass along a message to Aeterna, I think we have a few things to discuss regarding hmm...the FUTURE." Smirking at his somewhat perplexed expression, she left the club, a dull headache starting to form from the effort of blocking out Wyld. The last thing Ashe needed was her involvement in things. The physical link had been cut she was led to believe, but she had no desire to test that by Wyld being stupid enough to fight this Rakescar or FUTURE.

I really, really need to try to get Ashe and Wyld to the club at the right times, no one's ever around when I am to be able to play with this like I want to

Yeah, it probably won't last long, but I like it

I admit, its only Ashe because it makes better plot sense in the grand scheme of things in my head :7

Pft, its not a competition for me, I'm sure someone with better ties to the RP community will get to it first, just saying if its not done by the weekend, a little RP PvP at a pace other than whoever types faster wins would be cool

So long as its a weekend, I'm sure we can figure something out, as its midnight where you are before I get home from work and gym and all

Sure, what the heck, I've been dying to try Ashe out in PvP now that she's actually hit 15, could be fun

Heh, its not the participants I'm worried about, its the random hero deciding 'Villain!' and 2-shotting me while I'm trying to type

Cool idea Its stuff like this that makes me wish I could type and play with any real skill, but alas, witty banter and fighting only leads to someone beating the crap out of me while I try to finish typing

(So I'm a little slow, finally got the VG made Mods feel free to delete my post on page 3 with outdated info)

((The Eris Initiative is a loose VG of somewhat serious(as opposed to cheesy) villians, players are encouraged to play regularly with another VG, representing a grant, investment, or other cooperative effort EI has made with them, and also to establish relationships for future plot involvement. There is no defined playstyle for EI, there will be RPers, light and heavy, and non-RPers, though efforts will be made to provide RP opportunities for those who want them. We are open to coalition with other VGs that our members are part of or play with often.

Prospective players/characters and any VGs who'd like to talk about coalition, please contact @Kai or @EightySix globally or any member character wise.

Well, the idea seems to have gone over well, so, here you go
