(RP) Legion Of Man - Chapter 1

'What ever ' I say forgeting what Belmont said "I feel like we should sit back down" I say looking at the door and sitting in a chair.
 
More footsteps quickly become apparent, it sounds like it's coming from the other room. There's a little bit of chatter too, but you can't really hear what it's about.

You also start to hear... music? It's faint, but it slowly becomes increasingly loud, until... [I suggest you keep it playing while you read the rest]

The metal double-doors fly open, slamming against the walls they are connected to. Like a bolt of lightning, a figure in red and blue flies straight through to the center of the room, stopping mid sprinter pose. There's a large gust of wind that follows. He straightens his demeanor, revealing a staggering height, clearly above 7ft. Without hesitation, he starts to flex, causing another smaller gust of wind, simultaneously announcing in a goofy japanese-accent:

"DON'T WORRY! I AM HERE!"... his presence is oddly entertaining and calming. You can spot a distinct faint blue aura radiating from him. There's an awkward pause, but he then continues, "AND MY PARTNER! JEFFERY DA-", another man in a grey suit imitates his quirky entrance, but before the taller man can finish his intro, the man in grey trips on his foot, falling smack down on the floor...

"YOU STUCK YOUR LEG OUT!" the man in grey shouts, the taller one apologizing profusely while rubbing the back of his head. The grey man regains his composure, turning to the table.

"Hello! My name is Jeffery", he continues, "Jeffery Daniels! It's good to finally meet you all. This man is my partner, you can call him-" he gets interrupted by the taller man, "ALL MIGHT(ORU)!".

Clearly still annoyed at his partner, Jeffery continues, "I understand all this might be a bit sudden, but don't worry. We're going to explain why you're all here soon, but before we start, I wanted to know if there was any questions?"
 
'What the **** did I just get my self into' I think to myself still a bit shocked at what just happened.
 
[===!BREAK TIME!===]

[During this time, all activity until I resume will not be acknowledged, so please don't type anything. I'd suggest you go visit the meta thread if you have anything to say.

We're missing a few people, we only have 5-6 active. I'm going to wait a bit and message those people until a couple more are available. If you are one of these people who are registered, but have not commented, you can feel free to talk in meta-speak letting me know you're ready.]

[===!BREAK TIME OVER!===]

"Why did you threaten to kill my parents?" ... There's another awkward pause. "I-I'm afraid I'm not sure what you're talking about." said:
As i fall out of the chair in surprise, i attempt to ask "Who are and whats with the latex suit?"
"We already answered that... AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH, LATEX!" All Might yells enthusiastically, his back now turned as he begin to flex his gluteus maximus, taking turns with the left and ride cheek.

"I have become legitimately confused. Who are you?"
"Like I said before, my name is Jeffery, and this man is All Might." he replies, gesturing towards the still flexing man. "We're here to explain to you why you're all here. I'm going to assume that's all the questions for now."

"Before I really get into it though, let me ask you a question. Have you ever been able to see things you don't think is... normal? Have you ever heard things you don't think you were supposed to hear? How about vivid dreams of the same specific places and characters?"

He continues, "Contrary to what you might think, that's not normal. I mean sure, we all get the occasional deja vu, and of course we have wild dreams some nights but... of the same thing? I know it just seems like I've told you you're crazy but please don't worry, you're not... all of you have a unique ability. You all have a connection." Jeffrey looks around expectantly for a second, "S-sorry! It's just that someone is supposed to be here by now... I mean, I guess it wouldn't hurt."

"This connection you have is to another world... at least, that's what we think. This world you are connected to... we have reason to believe it no longer exists, that it's been wiped clean. The only form it exists in is with you, as a sort of pseudo-spiritual connection... Damn, I really do sound crazy!" he proclaims. "But it's all the truth, I'm telling you! As strange as it may sound, your connection is real!"

"He's telling the truth." All Might interrupts, "I'm living breathing proof of this!". Jeffery quickly objects, "I haven't got to that part yet! Just wait your turn!" before regaining his line of thought.

"These connections you have aren't strong to be anything more than visions, thoughts and the sort. But, if you can strengthe this connection, you're able to do something amazing. You'll be able to manifest what's known as a servant. Your servant is proof of the strongest connection possible between their lost world and our own. This character," Jeffery begrudgingly gestures towards All Might once more.

"...this guy is my servant. We're not really sure how, but there's a relationship between our two worlds, that being a relationship between a servant, and a master. I am the master; I have total control, being, and command over All Might for the most part. He has a personality of his own, but other than that, I command and control his actions. And with someone as strong as him, that leaves a lot of power at my disposal..."

"AND THAT'S WHY WE'VE GATHERED YOU HERE!" All Might once again shouts. "The fact that you're all able to see me is proof that you all have a bond to a lost world. Those without are unable to see me. I'll give you all a minute to breathe and take this information in, is there any questions?"
 
I look skeptically "Well lets assume you aren't completely insane for now, how will we strengthen our bond with this... other world?"
 
"I am interested in knowing more about these... visions, but what does any of this have to do with why you dragged us all here? What do you want from us?"
 
This seems pretty wild,but it makes sense. These visions can't be fake if multiple people are getting them. I have questions, but I'm sure that everyone else has the same ones. I decide to stay quiet unless no one asks a question I want answered.
 
All Might's faint blue aura suddenly begins to glow more prominently, "S-H-I-T! Jeffery, is this really all you've got? You can't keep me going for any longer!?" All Might asks, a little bit of panic in his voice.

Jeffery responds helplessly, "I can't do anything about it! You'll be back soon, though.". All Might lets out a sigh and shrugs, "THEN I'M OFF!" before disolving into particles of quickly fleeting blue light.

"All of us have limits as to how long we're able to manifest our servants," Jeffery takes the moment to explain, "Some of us can do it longer than others, it just depends on the strength of your connection, and who you're connecting to. Personally, I can only have All Might around for a couple minutes at most, but I think you'll soon find out even that's a long time."

"Well lets assume you aren't completely insane for now, how will we strengthen our bond with this... other world?"
"You... believe harder? To be honest, I don't really know myself. The only one who can really do it for for us is Miriam... and she's still not here, huh? I swear, she'll be here any second now."

As if on queue, there's footsteps heard from outside the room that progress into the room. Stopping in-front of the doors there is a little girl with long platinum hair, and a tiny white dress.There is two more suited people slightly behind her off to the side, the one on her left a brunette with a ponytail, the other a man with short blonde hair. The little girl asks:

"Jeffery, right?" he of course nods in response. "What's going on? What have you told them so far?" Jeffery laughs, nervously replying "Just what you told me... and, well you know, since you weren't here, I filled them in on the part about their connection with the other world, how this connection-" as Jeffery continues to update the little girl she nods in response, but tugs on the hand of the women on the left.

The woman opens up her suit pocket and pulls out a gu . Without even so much as looking at him, she proceeds to shoot Jeffery over and over, each shot causing blood to pour out from his back and onto the wall. He doesn't even get time to fall. After unloading all 15 rounds into him, Jeffery finally collapses, the blonde hair man takes over, dragging his body out of the room, leaving a trail of blood as he does so. The little girl takes center seat and turns towards the group.

"My name is Miriam. I am the one who summoned you here. I'm afraid I have to apologize for Jeffery, he really does get carried away sometimes. While he can be entertaining, such a trait is also a liability. There is nothing to worry about now though, all that has been taken care of."
 
What the ****! She just gunned that guy down! I thought they were supposed to be on the same side? Is that going to happen to us if we step out of line? I try not to let any of the emotion show on my face.
 
I feel a sick feeling in my stomach, but I'm careful to hide my fear and disgust. The pool of sweat forming on my face and forehead might give it away though...

This man... Just died. He was only talking to us a second ago.

I sit as still as possible, staring at the girl who just entered.
 
[Good thing we have plot armor]

I almost let out a squeak, but realising I don't want to be shot to death I attempt remain silent.

That's the first time I've seen someone die. Man.... It never looked so brutal.
 
The brunette with a ponytail proceeds to hand Miriam a cute little handbag before walking back towards the door.

"I've managed to find you all because like you, I too have special powers. I don't have a bond with lost worlds or anything, so I don't have access to the servants that Jeffery had told you about." she says, with mild dissapointment, almost frowning.

"On the other hand, I do have abilities of my own. I'm very intelligent for someone my age. I'm sure your average nine year old doesn't own one of the wealthiest companies in the world. More importanty, I know how to strengthen your bond. I can't explain it in words... but you can use me as a medium. Though I can't form these bonds, for some reason, these bonds seem to be stronger when they're made through me." she explains. "If you'll allow me, I can help you manifest these servants."

Reading the room, she realizes that people may not like her very much.

"Oh, I see. I believe an icebreaker is in order." she proceeds to pull out a revolver out of her handbag. She gives the chamber a spin, before sliding it down to the left hand side of the table, stopping in front of Michael [aka, yobobojojo].

"This game is known as Russian Roulette. There's one bullet, and six chambers. You play the game by giving the chamber a spin, and holding the gun up to your head. The fun part is pulling the trigger. Statisically, it's possible for everyone to come out of this alive... but independantly, you have a 1/6 chance of dying. Michael, you will start us off."

"Please keep in mind," Miriam gestures towards the brunette with a ponytail. "Natasha is watching. Don't do something you will regret."
 
How do I get out of this situation? Think. There has to be a way out... Make no sudden or stupid movements, just observe a little longer, an opportunity may present itself...!

Mom, I promise I'll make it back to you alive!
 
Is she really going to make us pull the trigger? Why is this happening? I...I don't want to die. I put my hands together in my lap, trying to calm down.
 
Oh god, why did I do this? Well, it's a 1/6 chance of being shot, or a 100% chance of being shot. Might as well.
 
This might actually be the most dangerous situation in my life...

... I better play carefully for now, or else I'll get annihilated instantly!
 
I groan as i get up from the floor, and say "Michael, wait a minute." as i look towards Miriam and Natasha, "Listen, i'm sure both of you are decent people, but literally eveything we've been told so far has sounded like a combination of crack ravings and brain damage, so if you don't mind, i'll be leaving before someone gets ******* ki....." i say, as i see jeffrey
 
"Madonna" i think to miself

if i don't do something, we'll all die like that guy

i pull out a handgun from beneath my hat and i point it at Miriam

"PUT, THAT, GUN, AWAY."

my words are firm and filled with determination, but anybody can easilly read from my face that i don't have the guts to shoot a little girl
 
"Why does he have a gun?" Miriam asks emotionlessly, waiting for a response from Natasha, who can't really seem to provide an answer. There's a quick blur, and Natasha has a gun drawn on Claudio.

"Claudio. Stop, give Natasha your gun." Miriam orders.

"Oh and Michael, please continue with the game. We are all waiting to see you pull the trigger."
 
"S-shit." I reluctantly give the chamber a spin and put it to my head. "I assume I don't really have a choice here, do I?"
 
Miriam replies, "That's not true at all. You have many in this scenario: you can either play the game, you can shoot a person in this room... you can even shoot me."

Natasha still has her gun pointed at Claudio, waiting for her to slide the gun over.
 
I very reluctantly begin to pull the trigger. "I'm not going to put someone in danger. I've got a good chance to live, and I'm not risking someone else's life." I pull it [What happens next?]
 
Natasha scoops up the weapon handed to her by Claudio.

Michael holds the gun up to his head and pulls the trigger...

CLICK!

There's no loud bang. Nothing happens.

Miriam starts to giggle a little, "It really gets the adrenaline pumping, huh!" and continues to giggle some more.

"Okay, you may pass the gun onto the person to your right... that would be Ryan." and her attention is refocused onto the next player. "Rya, if you may."
