>Rufio: Make Him Pay (Open to Everyone)

[Psyga315]

{OOC: This Mini-RPG is pretty much akin to non-serial movie, and is made with the intent to sate the hunger for the actual JTTM RPG. Pretty much, it's a typical arc for JTTM.}

"Welcome, to the new world..." N.A.V.I. said as she opened up her screen, showing an image of a hook among the smoke.

"ALRIGHT! PIRATE WORLD!" Nicholas was the first to react to the new image. He then ran up to N.A.V.I. "Hey! N.A.V.I., can you make me a badass pirate costume? I have just the idea for one!" Nicholas said to N.A.V.I.

[Krautman]

"Right, first things first..."

John donned his belt, slotting in a Rider Medal.

Shachi! Unagi! Cheetah!

John gave everyone a thumbs-up after transforming.

[Falkon]

Falkon grinned. "Hope it's Peter Pan!" he said.

[StarSketch]

"I'd assume it is Peter pan, or something similar."

Sam said, walking over to everyone else.

"What else has a guy with a hook for a hand? That's not a Peter Pan parody, anyway."

[Rain]

"Other people are here?" an old man asked, seeming somewhat surprised--and equally amused--by this fact. He had appeared from seemingly nowhere, with only a brief glimpse of a chaotic swirl of colour really being any indication of how he had managed to arrive. He definitely had some nice clothes, though.

[Addy]

{Retcon'd away}

"Anybody got some good Lock And Load Montage music?" said Oleg, putting on his belt. "Oh well, anyway..."
"Eternal!" declared the device, summoning the armour.
Then the man with the cane appeared. For several seconds he simply looked at the new arrival, surprise feeling even through the mask.

[Psyga315]

"Well, several... There's a tropes page filled with those guys. And-" Nicholas then looked at the old man. "Huh. Usually we get young people here. Hey, John, Oleg, see if you can explain to him about what's going on here, I gotta put on my marvelous coat." Nicholas said as he went into the dressing room.

[stratofarius]

"New guy, huh? Hello there, sir. My name is Roy Mustang, and I'm the leader of the Brotherhood."

He saluted the old man, approaching him:

"What is your name... and how did you get here?"

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

Kios began to bang two pots together, making quite a racket as he tried to wake up Lilly and August:

"Rise and shine, everyone! Tsukasa gave us a mission!"

Once he got to Nanabey, however, he placed the pots on the ground, and gently poked her cheek. His lizard tail began to poke her stomach:

"Hey. Wake up, Nana."

[Rain]

"My name is Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg," the man intoned seriously, looking Roy straight in the eye as he continued to answer the questions, "And as for how I got here... that is... magic."

[Psyga315]

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnn...." Nanabey woke up and saw Kios. She smiled as she cuddled into his chest.

"Ara ara, It's nice that Tsukasa has us do a small hand task while he and some of the other generals start going out to conquer worlds..." Lilly said.

[stratofarius]

Roy cleared his throat. "Sorry, had a little bit of blue in there. Well then, Kischur. If you're here, then you must be able to do something special." Roy placed one hand around Kischur's shoulder, pulling him along. "Mind showing it to us?"

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

Kios chuckled, hugging Nanabey and easily lifting her off bed. He placed her in the ground, and kissed her cheek, before moving on to Lily. Even if he was slightly bigger than her, thanks to the curse that turned him into a lizard man, he did his best to not seem threatening to the one that agreed to co-adopt August and Nanabey with him. Placing one hand on her hips, he kissed her. "I'm just surprised that he's giving me a break from the homunculi hunt... and that he's allowing us to go to this mission as a family."

He sat down on one of the chairs, and poked August in the cheek, waiting for him to wake up. "Mutsuki was also requested to come along, so he'll be there to protect the kids. Nana, why don't you go wash up, get ready for the mission?"

[Rain]

Roy was quite promptly laughed at by the vampire Wizard Marshall, who resisted the attempt to drag him anywhere and stood his ground, "I came here by myself, boy, I'd say that's the beginnings of something special."

He was also pretty firmly anchored to the spot, resisting the pull despite apparently not putting in any effort.

[Krautman]

"...Right then."

John put an arm around Alicia's shoulder and looked up at the screen. Pirates were always fun.

"So, you think you know enough about Waterbending to fight pirates?"

-----

Anny, meanwhile, had finished cooking Etna some pudding and set it in front of her, kneeling as she did.

"Here you are, Mistress. I made it just for you."

[stratofarius]

Once Roy found himself unable to push the old man along, his teenage body once again influenced his mind. It's going to be Bradley all over again. I'm going to be replaced. I need to assert my authority-- what? Assert your authority? You're the leader, Roy. They won't trade you for an old man that just appeared out of nowhere. Roy did his best to smile and motion to where the rest of the group was standing. "Like I told you before, my name is Roy. And excuse me if I wish to know more about the people that randomly appear on my ship."

"What? Pirates? Please, honey." Alicia said, rolling up the sleeves of her Fire Nation robes. "The moment they come near me, I'll flip their ships with the wink of an eye."

[Krautman]

John de-transformed in order to kiss his wife.

"I love you, my violent angel."

[Psyga315]

"Okay, Kios-papa!" Nanabey said as she left the area.

---

Soon, a door got kicked down as Nicholas wore a leather red jacket. He had his arms folded as he spoke out in a very manly voice.

"My bro is dead! He's gone! But he's right there on by back! And here in my heart!" He said, pounding his chest with his fist. "HE LIVES ON AS A PART OF ME!" Nicholas announced. Soon, a pause. He then spoke up again. "So, how was that?" Nicholas asked what seemed to be himself.

"It was good. Probably epic." Nicholas said, back to his normal voice. After he acquired Rider's Shard, the two were effectively a two-in-one fighter.

[Addy]

{OOC mode: So what's up on the timeline? I think we've got a conflict between me having Eternal and Kios still being Kios. Note that I'm totally fine with dropping away the Eternal and showcasing alternate paths to power I have had planned. In fact, I think I'm liking that more and more.}

[EldritchMermaid]

Jenny was, as usual, locked in her room. She'd been a lot quieter since she'd returned, preferring to spend her free time alone rather than with everyone else. Maybe she still wasn't sure they accepted her any more.

Something beeped on the nightstand as her Driver announced their arrival in the new World. She sighed as she picked it up, returning it to the pocket dimension it normally inhabited when she wasn't using it, before checking the Switches in her pocket.
"I guess it's time to go then."

[Rain]

"You'll just have to wait and see," Zelretch said, walking towards the assembled group and determinedly ignoring the leader. So, these people were going to go to another world and he had appeared on a spaceship capable of doing this. How unusual; it was weirder than what he normally found on these trips.

[StarSketch]

"So, what now?"

[thebrick]

There was a knock on the door of The Monster family's front door and a familiar voice could be heard from behind it.

"I'm here guys!"

[Flanker]

Flanker stood off to one side quietly. Here they went again - hopefully, his Biometals would prove up to the task of this new world. Clutching Model Z tightly, he considered the newcomer, an old man. Hopefully, his experience and wisdom would prove a fine addition to the group, even if he had never met him before.

"Ready?" he whispered to the Biometal.

"Naturally," replied Model Z, coolly composed as ever. Flanker briefly wondered if anything would ever shake the device, but he quickly put aside such thoughts as a foolish pursuit.

Now he just had to focus on getting things done, as he usually did.

[dblade26]

August blinked awake slowly and rubbed at his eyes. He stared up at Kios, then jumped up to glomp him, leaning his head against Kios sleepily but babbling in a half-awake, half-dreaming sort of way.

"...Had a creepy dream where you got eaten by monster things that had masks on, n' I asked God for help but he just laughed at me and got fat like a big spider since he ate all the sadness then he stuck me in a crystal box n' it was terrible and there was no one there but some girl who was blind like mommy but now you're here..."

The boy blinked sluggishly as he gradually drifted awake, though the sound of Mutsuki at the door startled him out of his ramblings.

{ooc: I thought of it, and I think it's a timeless RPG, where you can play as your character from any point in the timeline. I'm playing Nicholas Post-Buffy's World to develop his character and relationship with Rider}

"We go! TO VENTURE THE WIDE WORLD!" Both Nicholas and Rider said as Nicholas walked out the door.

[stratofarius]

"Well... it was just a dream." Kios said, giving August some sort of half-smile and patting him on the head. Placing him down on the ground too, he walked over to the door, opening it for Mutsuki. He grinned, placing his hands on his hips. "So, Tsukasa also told you to go to that pirate world, eh? Was there something else he told you?"

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

Wait and see? WAIT AND -- No, no. Control yourself. You're better than this. Roy sighed, straightening his posture and brushing the hair off his head. "Hold on, Nicholas! Remember our mission: we're searching for Dai-Shocker intereference--"

Alicia walked past him with a pirate hat, laughing and holding a fake sword. Roy facepalmed. "Right, fine, let's get going." he said, rolling his eyes. "NAVI, beam us down..."

[Addy]

{OOC: Ok. Then I'll do the alternate path too 8) *retcons away the previous post}

{Earlier}
"Costumes, you say? Well then, I have one..." said Oleg and dug into his Book.

Zelretch got a surprised glance, but he could find what to say, so he continued working with the tome.

After a minute it was done. The Book closed with a thump and pillar of golden light engulfed Oleg.\\
When it subsided, he looked rather... differently.

"Heh. Works perfectly," smirked the genderbender.

[Krautman]

John had already transformed again, but had a tricorne over the Shachi head. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Oleg's new form before following Alicia.

[Rain]

Looking like nothing more than a dapper old man, though it was fairly obvious that he was more than that--the bizarre name was the first clue--and seeming amused by something, Zelretch followed Nicholas. After all, this youth seemed to know where the fun would be. The sex-changing book-user got an eyebrow but it was nothing he hadn't seen before.

People just normally didn't inflict it upon themselves like that.

[StarSketch]

Sam blinked. "What the- Could you always do that?"

[Addy]

"No, I just recently figured that out. And it will probably work only on myself yet."

She once again opened the Book and gazed on a couple of pages.
"Along with some more tricks. This is going to be quite interesting..."
