(RP) Legion Of Man - Chapter 1

[There is a real chance of your character outright dying here. Each time a person takes a turn playing Miriam's game, they really do have a 1/6 chance of dying. I'm not trying to guide you guys in any way, I'm just letting you know.]

[Also I fixed all instances where I mentioned Claudio as a girl, my bad.]
 
i got a really good idea

"aren't we supposed to have a special one-in-a-billion ability ? aren't we supposed to be important ? can't we just stop this idiocy and just do what we where called here for ?"

while i talk i make hand gestures in full italian stile
 
Noticing how Claudio makes Italian hand gestures, I try to shift my position closer to him, thinking that I may befriend him, though I'm not sure if it will work.
 
"aren't we supposed to have a special one-in-a-billion ability ? aren't we supposed to be important ? can't we just stop this idiocy and just do what we where called here for ?"
"I suppose that is true. I really wanted to play this game, though. Does this mean you're all willing to cooperate and befriend me?" Miriam asks?

"If so, then I can proceed in explaining your purpose... unless of course, there's someone who wants to play the game?" she looks around expectantly.

"I will cooperate as long as long as you don't try to kill me, but for the befriending part, it's a no, friendship is something that is build over time"

i then notice Vittorio inching closer, i let him do it.
 
"It may suprise you, but I don't think anyone wants to play russian roulette with a loaded gun." I say, relieved thast I'll live another day.
 
Still looking at my phone as I play a game, I proceed to watch the situation as it unfold.

'Well, that's shocking. For her to kill her own advantagous though...either she nut, confident, or she have something on her sleeve... Well, I would die if I follow her game though.'

Not letting her know my thinking, I also said my word

"Yeah sure. I'm not stupid enough to get myself killed (most of the time), and you seems interesting."
 
"Then you've all failed." Miriam announces, slightly pissed off.

"Except Michael... he's failed less. He was the only one willing to risk his life. Let me explain."

"This was not just an icebreaker, this was an exercise in trust, strength, and Perception. Michael was the only one who had enough trust and strength to play into my exercise, as far as I'm concerned he's the only one worth consideration. Through his own strength he was actually willing to take the risk." she lectures.

"That being said, none of you had enough strength to turn the loaded weapon I gave you onto Natasha or myself. Admittedly, Claudio did come surprisingly close, but he lacked the strength necessary to finish the job. His perception let him down, he assumed that Natasha was trained and he was not, ultimately causing him to re-think his decision. What if I told you Natasha has never used a gun before, would you believe me?" Miriam asks.

"Speaking of perception, judging by your previous reactions I assume everyone was under the belief that I had ordered Natasha to kill Jeremy? That we've murdered a man in front of your very eyes?" Miriam begins to giggle a little.

There's a sudden burst of air accompanied by a familiar red and blue blur. Miriam is no longer seated, but instead sitting on top of All Might's shoulders. "I AM HERE!" he announces with great satisfaction. He is quickly followed by Jeremy, who once again imitates All Might's entrance, this time successfully. "AND ME TOO!" he quickly interjects.

Miriam quickly explains, "He was wearing a top of the line bulletproof vest. The only injuries he suffered was a few broken ribs, but otherwise nothing permanent. The blood you've seen was fake, deployed from the back of Jeremy's suit."

"Everyone here has failed in terms of having the strength necessary to do what's right, the ability to perceive what's the truth and what's not, and the ability to trust not only me, but yourselves."
 
'Well, guess I am right.'

"Well, excuse us for being weak, coward and untrusting. We're just coming here, we literally don't follow your game...and we don't trust you, as you said. Well, not that I speak for everyone."

Casually saying this, I continue to play game with the phone.
 
i say "Wow, a joke so funny i forgot to laugh, great job, you've only wasted a day of my life so i guess it could have been worse.", obviously angry.
 
"That's nice and all. However, I have to ask. Why do we need to possess these traits? Is is it really so imperative to test it that you'd risk people you say you need?"
 
"Isn't it obvious though? Probably have something to do with Servant, with the mission, and with the teamwork."
 
"I dunno, I don't think I want to work with someone who's idea of a test of character was seeing if I'd be willing to shoot someone."
 
"Well, again, it's obvious that she wanted to test us if we've seen through the nature of the game...For instance, the gun either shouldn't be able to fire at her..."

Then, I take the revolver to check whether it have bullet.

"oh ..."

"I-i-i feel like people weren't gonna be thinking rationally since it looked like you shot a man to death."
 
She looks begrudgingly in the know-it-all's direction. "Wind was it? You look like you've had all the answers, that you've had this entire game figured out. If you really knew from the start your human nature to share knowledge with others likely would have proven it. You've been quiet this entire time, I'd ask you to keep it that way."

"Without these three important core values, you will not be able to manifest your servant effectively."

"You've all been brought here because we have important work to do. Apologies, I feel like I may be bombarding you with information, so I'll do my best to keep it short:


Jeremy has explained to you that these connections you have, these bonds are with a lost world. These worlds have been destroyed and erased by an unimaginable horror, a force of nature. I can't explain how I know this... but I am certain our world is next. Almost every servant I've interacted with has told me the same thing, that their world has been invaded..."

"Thousands among thousands of warriors, annihilating everything they've ever come to know. Even the strongest of servants, capable of destruction on an incomprehensible scale were unable to protect their homeworld from this threat. We know very little, a handful of servants differ on specifics, but we know there's an organization responsible for these raids."


Natasha replies on Miriam's behalf, "They call themselves the 5/5th Legion Of Ma."


Jeremy continues, "Their motives are unknown, they may wish to erase all of reality, or they may wish to rule it all. Either way, they've been destroying countless worlds... and nobody has been able to do anything about it."

Miriam takes over, "That's where you all come in. You all have access to servants, these fallen warriors. The goal is to gather as many of you as possible, strengthen these bonds, and stop this organization before they can destroy our world as well. I have a connection to all those with servants; I can tell if a person has a bond or not, and I can tell where they are to a degree. That's how we've been able to gather you all here."

"I know you have little reason to trust yourselves let alone me... but from everything you've seen today, throughout your life. You've seen visions, you've heard voices, you've even seen a servant demanifest in front of your very eyes. I ask you, to please pour your trust into me. If you're all ready, I can begin to further strengthen your bonds, and you can manifest your own servant for yourself." Miriam concludes.
 
"Copy that...and I'm in. Also, can I keep this gun?"

'And also, knowing all the answer huh...Well, let keep it that way.'
 
I think for a moment, before saying "This still sounds like crack ravings, but you are right about the "visions" thing. I've occasionally seen fire out of the corner of my eyes and heard a raspy voice, but that really doesn't prove much of what you're saying."

I take a breath and say "Fine, i'll trust you."
 
i guess it's time to get tought.

no more coward, now it's time to be a badass like that superman guy

"i belive in your words, strengthen the bond between me and my servant"
 
"Sure, Let's do It" I say, hoping that this leads somewhere more interesting than spending 12 hours on the internet a day like I did before this.
 
Miriam hops off of All Might's shoulders and proceeds to center seat once more.

"Please, everybody link hands. As said before, I will be the medium in this process. Through me, your bond with these lost worlds will strengthen and allow you to succesfully manifest your servant."

Reluctantly, everyone proceeds to grab one anothers hand, forming a semi-circle with Miriam connecting both halves.

"Relax, this will only take a moment. Do not let go of one another."

Everyone except for Miriam now begins to emit a faint blue aura. Without warning, everyone's head begins to emit a sharp pain, more vague memories and visions flashing before their eyes. Miriam strengthens her grip, causing everyone to strengthen their grip with one another as well.

"This is part of the process! Do not let go!"

The pain begins to grow, everyone now suffering an intense migraine. At this point you are unable to let go of one another even if you wanted to. You find yourself unable to breathe, let alone speak. These visions and voices intensify, now becoming more specific. In your mind, a blurred figure begins to slowly become more clear.

"We're almost there! Release them!" she vaguely commands, but the instructions are somehow as clear as day. The pain begins to fade away immediately, and out from your back accompanied by a brilliant blue glow, your servant!

[At this point, your servant stands behind you, awaiting further instruction.]

Miriam lets go of her grip, and everyone lets go as well. "You may turn around." she instructs.

[Because of the initial process, everyone is able to manifest their servant for 10 seconds, before they demanifest on their own.]
 
So it was just a test, huh? Realizing there was never any danger, I quickly return to my usual calm self.

I want to return home to Mom, but if the world gets destroyed, there won't be a home to return to.

Strength, perception and trust. Will honing these skills really increase the strength of my ability? Well, after everything we've seen, it makes no sense for them to lie about that. I'll try me best to refine each of these from now on.

"Ok. I'll join you. More than anything, I want to understand and strengthen this ability."
 
"Do not be alarmed, though they have a personality of their own, they obey your command. If you are in control, then there is nothing to be afraid of." Miriam re-assures you.
