Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Five - The Return of...
Well, crap. Kriz, the first clue on number 4 is nearly unanswerable for me. Nowhere have I found a name for that thing. I've looked all over the place, I've tried logical extrapolations, I even loaded up SMW to try and FIND the stinking thing! I know what I'd call it if I ran into it, and that's not the answer.

Now, I'm fairly certain of the second clue, and I KNOW the third one's right, so that just leaves the first one.

The Name game
****** I'm running out of stuff for these headers ******

The Namer strode silently through the twisting corridors of the tower. With the sorceress gone the remaining monsters had been released from her power and wandered aimlessly like stray dogs.

Upon reaching the sorceress' chamber The Namer stepped over and ran her fingers over the scorch mark on the half melted throne that had once been the mistress of that place.

"Yes" her eyes snapped open, "Round 4, I name thee; She (who must be obliterated)"

A collective howl rang out from the monsters below. As The Namer sank through the stone floor she scratched the back of her hooded head.

"Bah, maybe I just don't got it" she grumbled.

Re: The Name game
Isaac woke up, holding his head in agony for the second time he'd remembered being in this place. Taking grasp of his surroundings, he found himself on the crossroads of a street. A massive body seemed to be blocking a few of those roads, and suddenly the youth knew what had destroyed this town so easily.

Dragons.

Picking up his crowbar, Issac ran down the only unblocked street, wondering what his place was in all this mess. And what about that boy who had called him 'Isaac' and then knocked him out when he had tried to escape? What had heppened to him? And how much of the truth was he telling?

He ran down the road further and further, watching the old, half-destroyed buildings as he sped by them. Some of them looked like novelty shops: Cedrick's Blade Shop, Gustave's Rare Antiquities, Mileena's Potions...

He figured that this used to be an odd sort of town.

"Oof!"

Having forgotten to look forward while he was running, he'd crashed into someone and fallen back himself. Looking up, he saw...

An enormous, greenscaled dragon.

Oh shit....

Trying to get his wits about him, he noticed that the dragon was in front of some other store roaring, and it wasn't paying attention to him. But... then again...

It's not paying attention to me... Because it's after more prey...

A strange feeling welled up in the young boy, something he hadn't recalled experienced before. Before he could think about what was happening, he'd already ran up to the monster's leg and given it a solid smash on the shin, taking cover behind an adjacent building.

The wyrm howled in annoyance and pain at the same time, and blew torrents of fire down the street where the young boy had been. Failing to see results there, it raised its leathery wings and flew off in that direction, hoping to find the little snack that tried to hurt him.

At least, I *think* it's a him... Oh well. Either way, not too bright.

Isaac cautiously walked up to the matress store and opened the front door. He yelled inside, "Is somebody there? I lured the dragon away; he won't be coming back!"

After a few moments, a man's voice responded, "Issac? Is that you?"

Oh man...Not again...

Laguna Loire: 5-8
Laguna Loire: 5-8

Laguna followed Scarlett into the back area of the store. It was a welter of scattered papers, turned-over chairs and in the very back, in the warehouse area, a lot more mattresses. He looked at the wrack and ruin and sighed – it was obvious that people had been HERE when whatever was out THERE had shown up for the first time.

“I don’t have a good feeling about this,” he muttered to himself, and then realized that he had very rarely had a good feeling about anything related to this tournament, except for Scarlett. The thought made him smile and he reached out one hand towards her back to touch her. The hand hesitated and then dropped to his side, Scarlett unaware of his movement.

I… I can’t… treat her as if she’s mine now. He looked involuntarily over his shoulder at the bed they had just shared. I want it to be like that always, but I’m not going to push her. If she wants… me… then I’ll be here, but no expectations, no pressure. She’s had a hard enough life, I can tell. I’ll just have to be patient. And wait for her.

He thought of Gilder and Ramirez, and winced. Whatever is best for her is what I want for her, even if that means it isn’t me. I swear it. The resolution made him sigh a little.

"Is somebody there? I lured the dragon away; he won't be coming back!"

Laguna whirled around with Scarlett by his side. He recognized that voice!

“Isaac? Is that you?” he called, beginning to step back towards the front of the store. The blonde boy was visible just at the gaping opening of the store’s wall, but the look on his face wasn’t one of welcome, it was more like trepidation. Laguna paused uncertainly, wondering if the dragon had returned unexpectedly.

“Hey, Isaac, what’s the problem, kid?” he queried softly.

Isaac looked up. “I… I don’t know you. Why does everybody keep calling me Isaac?!”

Bowser's flying circus
"Let go of me! HEEEEEEEEEEEELP! THIS IS NO WAY TO TREAT THE KING OF THE KOOPAS!" Bowser struggled as the dragon flew upwards. The female dragon gave Bowser a little kiss to his squirming forehead, then contiuned to look ahead.
"What are you going to do with me! PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT! What do you have planned in your evil mind! CONKEEEEEEEERRR!"

----

Below the flying Dragon, Conker was surveying the scene.

"What the? Bowser? Where are you!" Conker yelled out, cupping his hands in front of his face.

"Up here squirrel! Up here! DO SOMETHING!" The squirrel looked up. There indeed was his teammate being held by a dragon.

"I'll save ya!" Conker took off full sprint, until he ran into another familiar face. The bump caused the lizard to spit blocks of concrete out of his mouth.

"Watch where you are going... SQUIRREL! So, going out to save your employer huh?"

"He's not my employer. He's my teammate. Now move lizard or this'll get ugly."

"Ha!" Yoshi laughed. "Before I pummel you, what is your name Squirrel?"

"The name is Conker the Squirrel. And you are?"

"Yoshi. How'd you get a stupid name like Conker anyways?"

"Well, there's a funny story to it, goes something like this!" With a quick move Conker smashed the dinosaur on the head with his frying pan.

*CONK!*

"Enjoy the knot on your head courtesy of Conker The Squirrel!" he laughed as he chased down Bowser and the dragon.

Big robots go BAM! BAM! BAM!
The woman held out her hand, and Billy grasped it. She pulled Billy to his feet. He was still a bit dizzy, but otherwise he was OK.

"I'm fine," Billy responded. "I'm fallen. I can't be hurt."

A smile broke out on her lips. "Yes, that's right. How did you get here? I just saw you fall from the sky."

"I rode."

"You rode? On what?"

Billy pointed to the sky at the dragon which was glad to be rid of him. "On that."

Aeris' eyes widened as she watched the great dragon fly away. "You rode that here? You must have a deathwi-"

She was cut short by Billy, who was still watching the dragon. It had turned around again, it was circling something nearby, and it wouldn't be that long until-

It struck.

Billy and Aeris watched as the dragon fell into a dive, rammed into something on the ground, then flew back up. From the sound of it, it had hit maybe two or three people and a large object. Something had exploded, too. Shouts could be heard from that direction.

Billy glanced at Aeris, and they both ran toward the crash. It was a little ways away, across several burned-out buildings, but they should be there in any minute-

They came to a clearing, and saw a jeep, rolled over, on fire and in pieces. A man who was walking away from it spotted Billy and Aeris. He jogged over to them and held out a hand.

"Hi," he said, looking at Billy's machine gun. "My name's Ryogo, and I'm really hoping that you two don't want to kill me," he said.

Billy was startled, but laughed. "Oh, this is just a gift from one of those military guys. I used to know how to use one of these, but I must have hit my head harder than I thought."

Ryogo was more interested in what the dragon was doing, now. It was coming back, noticing that its prey was vulnerable. Ryogo stared around for the military guys. They were gone.

"It's times like these, I wish I had my Wanzer," the pilot grumbled.

"Or my Gear," agreed Billy.

"What's a Gear?" asked Ryogo, taking his gaze off the dragon.

"It's a sort of really big robot which you ride."

"You don't say! You know that that's almost exactly what a-"

Aeris interrupted them. "There's a large dragon over there which wants to eat us. I would suggest that you two stop talking about your little toys."

"Yes, ma'am."

--

And there is my entire knowledge on Wanzers. I'm pretty sure that they're really big robots.

Act 5, Scene 5 - "Rest"
The dragon's head lay through the remains of a building, unmoving.

Slowly, the lip on the right-side began to move, and a figure dropped out. Lying on the floor, exhausted, Ivan grinned. It's a damn good thing I know when to hold on...

He looked up at the sun overhead, and closed his eyes for a while.

For now.. I'll rest.

Oh buggery. I intended to have a lot more time today, but I extremely overslept.

Shame, I had some fun plans for this round.

I'll post votes in a bit, working on the mini-game atm.

Re: Bowser's flying circus
Well, this had to happen at some point. I cannot justify to myself attacking anyone this round. In earlier rounds, I voted the bad writers, the no-shows, and those that seemed to pose a larger threat than the others. Now, everyone's writing much better than I am, and I've barely started with my intended storyline. Of course, I'm halfway planning this character set as an extended play option. I haven't yet found a character I'd rather play in RT3.

So, I'm probably not going to be voting at anyone this round. I'm merely going to relax and enjoy the storyline I'm rather haphazardly weaving, and if we get eliminated again, fine.

SQUISHES!!!
(OOC: Immediately after Asylum XKP's post.)

"Hey, that's that same squirrel!" Yoshi thought to himself.

Yoshi turned quickly to see where Conker was going.

With that, Yoshi hurled his largest piece of concrete at the sqirrel, and hit with deadly accuracy.

He yelled out to the squirrel, "Aren't you going to 'Jump Around' again???"

Conker turned to say something, but he saw something instead. He did an about face and ran in the opposite direction.

"What got into him, I wonder?"

When suddenly, from behind he heard "MMMM! SQUISHES!"

Barbecued, deep-fried, grilled... DRAGON
"Watch it... Watch it..." shouted Ryogo as he saw the dragon stream towards them.

Aeris' eyes went wide. She groped around for a weapon, but didn't find anything.

Ryogo picked up a long pole from the ground. He got into a stance which he must have thought was a battle position.

Billy gripped the gun. I've done this before... I should be able to do this... but I'm terrible at aiming...

Billy looked at the gun helplessly. I can't do this... I barely hit it before...

Ryogo saw Billy with the gun. An idea flashed in Ryogo's mind. "Set the gun on something to steady it!"

Of course.

Billy ducked behind a short wall, about three feet high. He rested the machine gun in a groove in the wall. The gun didn't waver as much, now. Billy took aim, and fired.

Bullets sprang from the 'long pointy end', ripping through the dragon's wings and chest. Billy was trying to aim for its head... But a dragon isn't a creature which is easy to miss. Ryogo ran forward, spearing the creature in the stomach. It groaned in pain, then fell to the side. Ryogo removed the pole, then slammed it into the beast's head.

RRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOooooooooowwwwww...www...rrr.

The best didn't move. Blood gushed from its head. Billy stood up, looking at the creature.

Aeris crawled out of her hiding place in the rocks. "Is it gone yet?"

Billy flopped back on his back and sighed. "Yeah, it's gone."

Ryogo leaned against another burned wall. "That... let's not do that anytime soon, OK?"

Aeris laughed. "Agreed."

Billy closed his eyes. After that, he felt like resting...

A haunting melody jolted him to his senses.

Wha...? He shook his head. She's dead... I'm not hearing that... Billy put his hands over his ears.

Aeris gave him a sideways glance. "What, you don't like that music?"

Billy's eyes shot wide open. "You... you can... hear it?"

Aeris laughed. "Well, of course I can, silly. What, do you think that you're crazy? I don't hear voices that don't exist."

Ryogo was being very quiet. Then he turned to Aeris and Billy. "I think that I caught one of the words... I think that I heard 'midst'."

Aeris put her hands on her hips. "No, that was 'mist'."

"No, I distinctly heard 'midst'."

Billy cut their argument short. "Well, if you two can her it, then she...?"

Aeris tilted her head to the side. "What, you're saying that you know whoever is singing this?"

Billy nodded.

To end the story about the "SQUISHES!"....

Yoshi turned around, halfway expecting to see a giant. He found himself face to face with a dragon.

The dragon said it again, this time with a little fire coming out of his mouth. "MMM! SQUISHES!"

"Hey dragon! That's not your line! I know someone named Brian that might get mad at you if you use that line." Yoshi said. "And besides! There's only one of me, so it would be 'MMMM! SQUISH!'.", Yoshi replied.

(D) "I've read 8-bit Theater. Where do you think I got the line?"

(Y) "You're not making any sense. How could you possibly have read 8-bit Theater? It's not in this world, and if it was, you probably would have destroyed it..."

(D) "How do you know about 8-bit Theater? It's not in your world either..."

(Y) "..."

(D) "..."

(Y) "Let's just turn around, and walk away, and pretend this conversation never happened."

A Mind United
(Sorry, I'm really horrible with interaction. There's a 50% chance I'll get at least one of the characters I'm interacting with wrong in some horrible, unforgivable way that's akin to belching in the punchbowl.)

Amethyst was dreaming. In his dream, he wandered a path between two extremes of fire and ice, the path narrow and treacherous. The only thing that drew him onward...

Was a song. A haunting melody, the words of which never quite became clear, but drew him ever onward, between the raging heat of Rouge's mind and the calm cold of Blue's. The violet mage walked a tightrope between the two extremes of insanity.

He awoke, and could not at once tell if he was still dreaming. The song continued, and he realized he must have brought the song into his dream as an aid. He stood, neck stiff from leaning against the wall. The gun went in his waistband, and he snagged the spear from where it lay on the cracked cement. A ragged hole in one wall admitted slanting rays of sunlight, and he realized he must have slept for a while, at least. He looked out onto the view offered by the rent...

And scrambled back in fear of the enormous dragon outside. A slightly more careful look revealed the beast was dead. Three people stood nearby, talking amongst themselves. There is little to be lost by seeking company... Carefully, Amethyst began climbing down the pile of rubble outside the hole in the wall. The three noticed him, and the boy in the blue coat raised his machine gun in Amethyst's direction. The young mage slowed to a walk from his scramble down the pile, and strolled slowly towards the trio.

"This is probably a stupid question, but did anyone hear singing?"

The blonde lowered his gun slightly. "Yes. I've been hearing that song off and on since we left that last city."

Something tickled at Amethyst's mind, and he struggled to put a name to the boy in front of him. "You are... William... Billy, right?" He held out the hand that was unencumbered with polearms. "I am... Amethyst. If it's not too much to ask, would you mind if I went with you for a while? There is more risk in numbers, but also greater safety."

Calmly, Billy took Amethyst's hand. "I think more firepower will be helpful right now. I am Billy, yes, and this is Ryogo," Amethyst turned and shook hands with the Wanzer pilot, "And Aeris." Amethyst bowed slightly as he took the young lady's hand.

Sorry if you guys don't want another travelling companion. Keep in mind, he might be a little prone to fits of Cloud-like convulsions from time to time, but he's polite and keeps to himself for the most part.

I'm probably going to get some sleep, so use Amethyst however you like.

Well, it seems as if the round will end fairly soon, and Daeron did a good job, so I have about nothing to add. Don't worry, Daeron, I'm not that good with character interactions, either. The fact that my second post on this thread was edited is proof of that. Yours was well-written, though.

All I can do is the much-hated Vote Dump. People, realize that this is solely to gain XP and isn't personal. If I wanted to get rid of your character, I would do it in game.
