Aria (Part 4): A Forest of Thorns (RP)

Note: Read before joining. [spoiler]Notice 1: This RP is watched over by the Takamagahara System. If you perform any action that is considered to be god-modding, or otherwise not allowed, you will be issued a warning, and the T3 will rewrite time to undo your actions. Repeated warnings may get you banned from the RP. Remember to play nice! Notice 2: In order to participate in this RP your character [b]cannot[/b] survive underwater. Whether it's from the extreme pressure, the lack of air, or both, leaving the city outside of official transport is not survivable. Notice 3: This is a pseudo shared RP, and talking with other players is recommended. However, to keep things organized, please do not just hop into another player's comment chain and start chatting them up. Instead, tell me you want to talk with them, and I will create a separate comment chain for the convo. You will go through most events in the RP alone, but Key Encounters will be shared. Notice 4: You do not have to have participated in previous parts to join. I can give you a summary if you missed the previous parts! If you have any questions, please contact your local RP admin! (that's me!)[/spoiler] Aifos stood alone in Oceanview, staring out at the water. He was glad Joshua was okay, but couldn't help but feel guilty for having pinned him of all people as the murderer. And now the real murderer--Aubrey--she was still here, somewhere. They knew her face, she couldn't hide in plain sight anymore, but that didn't mean they were any closer to catching her. "It's not your fault, you know." Fukua said, as she walked into the room behind him. "We took every precaution we could when building this place. We couldn't have predicted some crazy murderer who can turn into water would slip in and go on a killing spree." "How's Joshua?" "..He's fine. Well, not 'fine', but he'll be okay. I think that attack Aubrey threw at him was more of a distraction than anything. Just a way for her to get away. Don't worry, though, knowing what she can do, Grandma Koko took all the necessary precautions. There won't be a drop of water coming in or out of the city without her noticing." "Well that's all well and good, but how do we plan to catch her?" Rho said, stepping out from the shadows. "All this playing detective hasn't gotten us anywhere." "Rho's right." Fukua said. "We need a plan. We need to make sure she doesn't escape next time." Aifos sighed, and looked back at the ocean. He knew they needed a plan, but- He stopped. He saw someone in the reflection, and only narrowly managed to swerve out of the way as the sound of a gunshot echoed through the room. The bullet crashed into the window, and once it was weakened, the water pressure did the rest of the work, tearing the entire view apart. A shutter immediately slammed down and covered the glass, but not before a burst of water had forced its way into the city, knocking everyone in the room to the ground. The assassin tried to flee, but Aifos levitated himself above the water, and glided over to the shooter, grabbing him by the hood of his cloak. He was surprised to see a face he didn't recognize. "You aren't Aubrey.." He said. "Death to the Angels!" The man yelled, pulling out a knife. Aifos immediately let him go, preparing for a fight, but the man responded by dropping a flashbomb, and by the time anyone could see again he was gone. "That wasn't Aubrey." Fukua said, plainly. "That means.. She's not the only one." The group all looked at eachother for a moment in silence. ----- Kokonoe gathered you, and the others up. Aifos had explained what happened to everyone, and the same dread that fell over them back in Oceanview fell over everyone here. Kokonoe sighed. "I don't know why I'm so surprised by this. Fie's corpse had the Divine Trinity's halo drawn over her head.. They had a church up in the Capital, we already knew they had a following.. And now they're down here in Aria." "Okay, so we messed up." Fukua said. "But what we have to do should be obvious. Aubrey is probably their leader, and if she's not she can tell us who is. We found her hideout at the gardens, we should go there and investigate." "Agreed." Kokonoe said. "Aubrey herself might have come on board under our noses, but there's no way an entire cult could've gotten in. If we strike now, we still might have a chance to get this over with before the situation escalates any further. She turns to you. "You and Fukua will start the search. If you encounter any resistance, detain your attackers, understand? I don't want to see you going around murdering people in my city." [spoiler]The detective portion of this RP is officially over! Hope you all enjoyed that bit; I certainly had fun writing it! Feedback is appreciated! You can still look around and talk to folk, but I won't be posting anymore "location/character" lists, so you'll have to do that from memory. Obviously, it should go without saying that you can't just go talk to Aubrey, though.[/spoiler]

  • Fie gets knocked back. Her anti-gravity generator seems to give out, and she lands on her feet, struggling to keep herself up. Her swords briefly rise up into the air, before drooping behind her back. Whether or not you go to deal the final blow, you hear Aifos before you get the chance. "Stop.. Stop fighting.." He said, struggling to pull himself to his feet. He takes a few weak steps over to Fie. "Fie.. This isn't you.. You know this isn't you.. I don't know what they've done to you, but you don't have to be a weapon anymore--and I know you don't want to be... Please.. You have to try and come back to us.." "Aif.... I..." Fie weakly said. "I.... Can't.... It's too late.... Just finish... Finish it!" "I can't.. You don't deserve this, Fie! I can't just let you die! I brought you back, this is my fault, so I can't just give up!" "You... Have to!" One of Fie's swords swipe at Aifos, though he catches it in between two of his own. His strength quickly gives out, and and he's thrown to the ground. Two of Fie's blades merge into a singlular larger one, and point at Aifos, ready for a stab. Before it's able to lunge, Fie's struck with a kick to the back, and staggers forwards. A weakened Rho looks up at her, panting from her wounds from the fight before you arrived. Fie launches a trio of light blades, which Rho deftly rolls underneath, closing the distance between the two. Fie slashes down with a pair of blades, but Rho manages to slip out of the way, and get behind her. Before Fie has a chance to react, she has one of her own swords forced through her chest. "R....Rho...." Fie says, as a single tear rolls down her face, and she falls lifelessly to the ground. Aifos looks up at the corpse, and opened his mouth to say something, but Rho cuts him off before he gets the chance to speak. "That wasn't Fie anymore." She said bluntly, before weakly making her way to the door. [spoiler]Y'all can chat with everyone in the room if you'd like. Rho hasn't quite left, but is just about to. Tager and Theta are just outside the door. Kokonoe, Aifos, and Lambda are there, but all of them are pretty beat up, and of course, Fukua came in with you. I've got a pretty busy week at work, so we'll see when I get the next part out. Earliest will be tomorrow, but I may have to wait until the weekend, as I need my laptop (which I don't take to work) to get it started.[/spoiler]
