Manor's Attic (Roleplay)

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Wow.", Mea uttered in an unimpressed tone and started clapping his hands loudly as he witnessed the transformation.

"Demons really do give themselves a beautiful appearance to trick humans huh? A more horrific form would have suited you better, or you could have stayed as a rat."

"Such stinging words. Would you prefer I donned some tacky suit of armor, like yourself? Or frighten the children like some...boogieman? Some of us have appearances to maintain." The man said. He raised a hand, the flesh writhing and convulsing until it morphed into a small mirror: bone serving as its frame, while reflective glass displayed his visage. A smile crept to his lips as he examined his reflection.

"And I maintain mine quite well."

 

[noninho]

"I really don't think we'd be doing well in getting some fighting here. At least not before we get the hell outta here" said Zib breaking his quietness to try and get somewhere in this complex maze and company

"The **** do you know about maintaining appearances? You can't even keep your own soul untainted, let alone your body. I wear this armour so that scums like you can take one look and know to crawl back to hell where you belong."

 

[Spider_Kaiju]

"Well, I think we can come to a group consensus on what to do, give them a little help if they find something useful, although I wonder if we all leave this place, do you think the doors will disappear after a while? It's a small probability, but a probability nonetheless."

"Well, for now there's no problem, we're lost, so as long as you don't try anything funny, we should be fine."

"So what are you planning to do Rat-man? since you've been to Utopia door more or less you should have an idea of what is happening there"

"Well, I sure as Hell think The Utopia option might be the best one we have right now. Eternal Desert Or "Slaughterhouse" aren't pretty pictures in my opinion." Kenny states as a matter of fact.

 

[noninho]

"..."
Zib just gets off of the middle of those 3. It may be possible, but it's very hard to settle an argument of 3 guys whose powers you don't know.

(It's funny because Mea and Doc genuinely can't do anything to each other. Mea can't directly interact with the soul so he can't do any permanent harm while Doc doesn't have the AP and can't use Idle Transfiguration on him due to Haki so all they can do is run their mouths instead of their hands. If I had picked Guts instead of Skull Knight then this wouldn't be a problem)

(What was happening while Yubi is asleep? You wanna wake her up lol?)

 

[AThe1412]

(What was happening while Yubi is asleep? You wanna wake her up lol?)

(Whether or not you would let her wake up is the real question)

 

[Da3ggman]

"Hmm we seem to agree, Glacius. Oh, I'm Zib, for those who just came. I recently came through that door right there and, well, think we all want the same" says zib with tranquility, trying to keep everything fine for his research for items and spells to still be a smooth sailing

The rest he kept hearing, willing to know where people would ask his help or authorize his presence.

Kyros looked over the elf once, and let out a small scoff, seeming to disregard him as a threat just as quickly. “Don’t slow us down, and don’t be a bother, understood?” He asked Zib, quickly turning his attention to the other newcomer in the group before he could even get a response.

"Such stinging words. Would you prefer I donned some tacky suit of armor, like yourself? Or frighten the children like some...boogieman? Some of us have appearances to maintain." The man said. He raised a hand, the flesh writhing and convulsing until it morphed into a small mirror: bone serving as its frame, while reflective glass displayed his visage. A smile crept to his lips as he examined his reflection.

"And I maintain mine quite well."

“So you are the thing I sensed in that vermin….just as disgusting and vile as I thought.” He stepped forward toward Doc to get a better look, and to intimidate him with his sheer size.

The ancient king had seen enough creatures like this one to no he was up to no good. But then again, in a situation like this, perhaps he could be of use after all. “What do you intend to do exactly, demon?” Kyros asked, his icy cold stare penetrating into Doc’s very soul.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"The **** do you know about maintaining appearances? You can't even keep your own soul untainted, let alone your body. I wear this armour so that scums like you can take one look and know to crawl back to hell where you belong."

"The soul? I assure you...I know more about the soul than you could even fathom." the mirror liquefied into a misshapen blob of flesh, before slowly returning to the shape of his hand. He shifted his gaze towards the armored man, flashing him a smirk. "And I'm sure your little costume is good at frightening milk-fed pickpockets and tavern drunkards. But I'm afraid I'm thoroughly unimpressed."

(The next narrator will be: @The_man_with_the_Midas_touch. You can either go along with @Oliver_de_jesus 's plot or go off-script with your own plot!)

((KK! I'll narrate whenever people decide to head someplace))

"Oooh. Another man in armor gracing me with his presence. I am honored." He gave the man an exaggerated bow: if he was intimated, he gave no indication of it. "My plan is the same as yours I imagine. I want to escape. As much as I enjoy company, I have my own research to return to. Quickly."

 

[Backbackback]

(Whether or not you would let her wake up is the real question)

(depends on what you do with her since your horse is carrying her)

 

[Da3ggman]

“Research? I can’t imagine the horrors that entail such things from one like you.” He stated, still looking down on Doc, continuing, “and yet…I don’t particularly care. If what you say is true, then I’d be more than willing to have you accompany us. I’m sure a thing such as yourself could be very useful, in our escape.”

He was lying through his teeth, of course. Even for one such as him, the atrocities this…thing, for the lack of a better term, had done were simply too much; too sinful to keep on living. But, judgment to could wait until later. For now, his focus was on getting out, and recreating the Frozen Empire.

“What shall we call you, demon?”

 

[AThe1412]

"The soul? I assure you...I know more about the soul than you could even fathom." the mirror liquefied into a misshapen blob of flesh, before slowly returning to the shape of his hand. He shifted his gaze towards the armored man, flashing him a smirk. "And I'm sure your little costume is good at frightening milk-fed pickpockets and tavern drunkards. But I'm afraid I'm thoroughly unimpressed."

"Oh, you will learn to fear it soon enough.", he responded.

As much as Mea wanted to impose his will upon this fool again to shut him up, he knew it wouldn't work this time. It had worked earlier while Doc's spirit were still divided into pathetic little pests but he could no longer be affected due to having regained the full force of his immense ambition, or rather obsession.

(depends on what you do with her since your horse is carrying her)

(Would be funny if she doesn't do anything and just sleep through the entire first arc)

 

[Backbackback]

Yubi was now grunting because all this bickering caused her to wake up.

"Urghhhh...."

She was sluggishly awakening from her slumber, causing her to look around. Ah, great....

"Still no women in sight apart from her? Ughhh, this is the worst nightmare........."

 

[Backbackback]

(Would be funny if she doesn't do anything and just sleep through the entire first arc)

(acutally thooooooooooo, imma just have her wake up and just go back to sleep cuz her lesbo blood can't handle MEN)

 

[AThe1412]

(acutally thooooooooooo, imma just have her wake up and just go back to sleep cuz her lesbo blood can't handle MEN)

(Actually, Doc can become a female by changing the shape of his soul... But that's freaking terrifying)

 

[Backbackback]

(Actually, Doc can become a female by changing the shape of his soul... But that's freaking terrifying)

(i don't think Yubi cares, she be freaky if that's the case lol)

Mea simply glared at her in annoyance at first but then an idea popped up in his head.

"Woman, you have to get up! This shitass right here dissed your swordsmanship and seeks to steal the princess for himself! You can't let that slide!", he said while pointing at the Doctor accusingly.

His ability to lie was deceptively good and Yubi's intoxicated state only made it easier. It was a total dick move to both wake her up and convince her to attack the sinner but Mea knew he would have done the same if given the chance.

“What shall we call you, demon?”

"And I feel likewise! An alliance is of mutual benefit. Perhaps we have a few...differences in how we pass our time, but what matters is that we all..." he gestures towards the rest of the group, as if to punctuate his point: "...have much better things to do."

"As for names, you may call me whatever you wish. Most simply refer to me as the Witch Docter, as is my occupation, but you may continue calling me a demon if it suits you."

"Oh, you will learn to fear it soon enough.", he responded.

“I grow tired of your threats." He made a shooing motion with his hands, as if he were dealing with a particularly annoying fly. "And playing tricks on the intoxicated? How shameless. Here I thought I was the scum~"

"HUH?"

For what Mea and the others had felt, for the fear and dread that they had gotten so long used to — this time was something far far more different. Like the very world and reality itself began shaking from the sheer anger that this Million-Old Swordswoman had heard. To those who can't see, it felt like the end of the world itself happening right in front of them — except done by some divine being outside of their mortal perception.

"Who said that?"

"Him.", once again he pointed at the Doctor.

“I grow tired of your threats." He made a shooing motion with his hands, as if he were dealing with a particularly annoying fly. "And playing tricks on the intoxicated? How shameless. Here I thought I was the scum~"

"Nah, you're even less than that. You don't deserve the slightest bit of honour from me.", he admitted. When it came to dealing with sinners, Mea wasn't afraid to get his or the hands of others dirty.

 

[Backbackback]

"Him.", once again he pointed at the Doctor.

Thankfully her Spiritual Pressure wasn't to the roof or else this guy wouldn't be able to speak a single word. "Ehhh, you're f*cking with me. Imma go and dream about women now...." before trying to fall asleep on his horse.

 

[AThe1412]

"Well, it was worth the try.", he simply shrugged and chose not to bother her any longer. The option of telling her that the 'man' in front of her could, in fact, become a 'woman' if desired seemed too risky to him.

(Also, Reiatsu Crush ain't doing jack to a Conqueror's Haki user)

 

[Backbackback]

"Zzzzzzz"

(Also, Reiatsu Crush ain't doing jack to a Conqueror's Haki user)

(The fear and dread part? Yeah. The Reiatsu killing part, which affects the soul? It will go through. Yubi just didn't wanna or she's too drunk to do it...)

 

[AThe1412]

"Zzzzzzz"

(The fear and dread part? Yeah. The Reiatsu killing part, which affects the soul? It will go through. Yubi just didn't wanna or she's too drunk to do it...)

(And that's where Buso comes in. Resistance to all Devil Fruit abilities including soul hax from Brook and Big Mom. That's also why I said Idle Transfiguration wouldn't work)

 

[Backbackback]

(And that's where Buso comes in. Resistance to all Devil Fruit abilities including soul hax from Brook and Big Mom. That's also why I said Idle Transfiguration wouldn't work)

(Ohh, really? Damn. And the thing is, verse equalization doesn't exist here, so I guess that's a neat choice. Do note Yubi isn't scared of Mea though even if her aura doesn't affect him)

 

[AThe1412]

(Ohh, really? Damn. And the thing is, verse equalization doesn't exist here, so I guess that's a neat choice. Do note Yubi isn't scared of Mea though even if her aura doesn't affect him)

(I know. Just a really strong will is enough to resist Hao and Re:Zero characters are kind of ridiculous in that department. Soul, mind, and madness hax can also be resisted through sheer willpower)

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

(YES, lucky Soul crush wasn't all 100%, I think Yung or Spider character doesn't have soul resistance though I could be wrong, I only remember the basics of their characters idk)
"Oh Great Founders give me patience.... Okay, okay calm down, let's just move, heating this up is unnecessary, besides you know that you could have killed someone by your action if she released more pressure? We both know that she wasn't going full force" The Ice Dragon said to Mea
@AThe1412

"But whatever, let's see I don't want to fight here, so rat man, ...unless you give us your name, I'll keep calling you rat man, you can come, just don't do anything funny" He says while tearing off a finger and leaving it here

@The_man_with_the_Midas_touch

"I think you'd rather have one of my summons (lesser demons), take care of this place than a summon of that guy who just insulted your armor" Glacius said after clarifying that he had decided to activate one of his abilities

@AThe1412

"Zib, you're Free to come with us, if you see anything out of place with your magic abilities, please tell us"

@noninho

Then he turned to see Celia and Kyros
"I'm sorry about that mess"

@YungManzi @Da3ggman
"Kid, since you were the one who made contact with them more directly than others, guide us, I suppose" He says to Kenny
@Spider_Kaiju

 

[AThe1412]

(YES, lucky Soul crush wasn't all 100%, I think Yung or Spider character doesn't have soul resistance though I could be wrong, I only remember the basics of their characters idk)

@AThe1412

"As I said earlier, I'm a very good judge of character. I was confident in Yubi's ability to control her spiritual pressure but even if she couldn't, I could neutralize it with my own aura. Either way, that rat is a bigger threat to everyone than her.", he explained.

"But whatever, let's see I don't want to fight here, so rat man, ...unless you give us your name, I'll keep calling you rat man, you can come, just don't do anything funny" He says while tearing off a finger and leaving it here

@AThe1412

(Is the finger used to summon the demon? Are they as evil as the ones from DMC?)
"Wait, he was insulting my armour? I thought it was a compliment. Also yeah, that's a better idea actually.", he said while watching him summon a minion to guard the door.

Then he turned to see Celia and Kyros
"I'm sorry about that mess"

@YungManzi @Da3ggman

"I apologize as well. Kyros, you're... not as bad as I expected. Not that it absolve you of your sins but... If you can, keep up the good deeds.", he said in acknowledgement of the fact that the king had attempted to put the demon in its place.

"Kid, since you were the one who made contact with them more directly than others, guide us, I suppose" He says to Kenny
@Spider_Kaiju

"Those old creeps mentioned their residence being on an island off the coast of the city. I could get us there quicker as long as nobody tries to stop us."

 

[Spider_Kaiju]

"Those old creeps mentioned their residence being on an island off the coast of the city. I could get us there quicker as long as nobody tries to stop us."

"Uh, maybe we should try to be subtle with things. The Nameless One was strong enough to keep me from probing his thoughts. An illusory disguise could perhaps get us in the front door."

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

(Princess doesn't have it but the undead elf spider guy does)

"As I said earlier, I'm a very good judge of character. I was confident in Yubi's ability to control her spiritual pressure but even if she couldn't, I could neutralize it with my own aura. Either way, that rat is a bigger threat to everyone than her.", he explained.

""Well, I'm just trying to be cautious, I don't want something to backfire on us but yeah, we can beat this Rat man if something happen" Glacius begins.

(Is the finger used to summon the demon? Are they as evil as the ones from DMC?)

(Mundus' creations [or in this case, of the houses], are programmed to follow their superiors and their instructions, so they will be more neutral like the own Glacius)

"Wait, he was insulting my armour? I thought it was a compliment. Also yeah, that's a better idea actually.", he said while watching him summon a minion to guard the door.

"Yeah, also Not worry, give it has a piece of mine, i can see what it does from far distance, even if we move to inside of the door"

"I apologize as well. Kyros, you're... not as bad as I expected. Not that it absolve you of your sins but... If you can, keep up the good deeds.", he said in acknowledgement of the fact that the king had attempted to put the demon in its place.

"Those old creeps mentioned their residence being on an island off the coast of the city. I could get us there quicker as long as nobody tries to stop us."

"Alright, sound good"

"Uh, maybe we should try to be subtle with things. The Nameless One was strong enough to keep me from probing his thoughts. An illusory disguise could perhaps get us in the front door."

"Someone can cast illusions here?"

 

[Spider_Kaiju]

""Well, I'm just trying to be cautious, I don't want something to backfire on us but yeah, we can beat this Rat man if something happen" Glacius begins.

"Just giving a suggestion. I can also control minds and manipulate matter. Maybe I could use my telepathy and mind control to make us all look like other cultists. Are you ready for teleporation?"

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

@Backbackback
"It seems immaturity is a shared trait among you lot." The man rubbed the bridge of his nose, glaring at the drunk woman as she fell back to sleep. "Woman and booze...I don't think I've ever come across a female lecher. How unpleasant."

"Just giving a suggestion. I can also control minds and manipulate matter. Maybe I could use my telepathy and mind control to make us all look like other cultists. Are you ready for teleporation?"

"You will not have to worry about me, in that regard. Altering my physical composition to match some...religious zealot would be a simple matter. I could do so for the others as well, but..." He glanced towards the two men in armor, smirking.

"I imagine my methods would not be...appreciated"

"All I ask is that you try to only kill the actual baddies. It's an evil cult, but a lot of their regular members don't know that." With that, they were hopefully disguised, and Kenny snapped his fingers, and whoever wanted to come were on the Island's port, just outside the Temple complex.

 

[AThe1412]

"Just giving a suggestion. I can also control minds and manipulate matter. Maybe I could use my telepathy and mind control to make us all look like other cultists. Are you ready for teleporation?"

"You can already...? A fast learner I see. I'm impressed.", he complimented.

"So high and mighty. I don't blame her or anyone else for not having the same disgusting interests as you."
(It's also ironic that someone with the Authority of Lust finds another person's lustful acts unpleasant)

"Because they're shit. You're full of shit. You and your rotten psyche couldn't handle being alone so you had to drag others down with you."

"All I ask is that you try to only kill the actual baddies. It's an evil cult, but a lot of their regular members don't know that."

"Don't expect him to follow.", he sighed.

 

[AThe1412]

(Wouldn't this mean Yubi will get left behind because she's asleep? I mean, she's on top of Ludwig now so if the horse wants to come then she would get teleported too, yeah? But it would be funny if only the horse got teleported and she just falls to the floor. I'm reading too much into this. Also, imagine an eldritch abomination looking horse walking around while disguised as a cultist)

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

(Oh I should probably do my job)

The temple was a grandiose affair, borne from great wealth and reverence. Aquamarine walls stretched for dozens of feet into the sky; they were thick and weathered as if constructed in a time where they served as much of a defensive fortification as a religious institution. Small archways served as the entrance to the inner courtyard: a series of salt-water ponds, thick with seagrass, running in several large strips across its length, the surrounding floor an aged, cracked cobblestone: decorated with minute pours from where the sea water had worn into the material.

From their vantage point, they could see a vast domed structure at the heart the of temple. Likely, this is where worship occurred. You could travel there if you wished, though the two stone doors that led to the inner chamber were guarded: two cultists bordering them on either side. They were lightly armed, with only a small blade tucked into their flowing robes: likely there more to keep the peace than seriously threaten anyone.

Other cultists busied themselves around the temple. Some cleaning, some tending to the lakes. They seemed amicable enough, if conversation was desired.

"So high and mighty. I don't blame her or anyone else for not having the same disgusting interests as you."

"A measure of decorum is not unreasonable to ask. I have standards, after all." While he spoke, he pressed a hand to his robes, the fabric writhing and shifting within his grasp. Suddenly, It unraveled into a mass of threads, briefly exposing his bare chest before almost immediately restitching itself into something that resembled the cultists' clothing: a hooded robe made of basic grey cloth, Its shoulders adorned with a crimson circle—a religious symbol, presumably.

"All I ask is that you try to only kill the actual baddies. It's an evil cult, but a lot of their regular members don't know that." With that, they were hopefully disguised, and Kenny snapped his fingers, and whoever wanted to come were on the Island's port, just outside the Temple complex.

The man raised an eyebrow. "I don't intend to kill anyone. It's a waste of good flesh. I will, of course, be taking a few alive for...personal use, but if it gives you peace of mind I'll only harvest from the particularly...unsavory, individuals." He glanced down at his nails, smirking to himself. Perhaps being trapped here would not be a complete waste of time.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

"Well, the plan is simple, we go in through disguises, read/search what the leaders are planning, "D-Mat 'em 'til they aren't, and hit 'em when they weren't, and loot anything useful they have, you never know when you might use a xeno technology." Glacius quoted a simple strategy implanted in his consciousness
