[b]Emotion[/b]
[i]I approach the gate, a brown cloak surrounding me. I am tall, somewhat skinny. What is revealed of my skin is covered in scars. A gust of wind rolls by, blowing back my hood and lower part of the cloak, revealing a black revolver with a golden trim, the letters MO engraved in the side of the barrel, and a short-sword with a bronzeish hue.[/i]
[i]I look young, like a man in his late 20s. But my eyes show that of a man who has been around for hundreds of years, they are cold, dead, the deep Black Sea which was my eyes betrays my physique. My hair is a mess, its jet black strands tumbling down the side of my head, about half way to my chin. A short beard is on my face, and my mouth is dry. Without a word, I enter, walking throughout the commons of the Dojo.[/i]
[i][b]So strange, this is unlike what I'm used to. [/b] I think to myself as I continue walking. I look up on a hill, a statute of a man with a sword in one hand and a cobalt flame in the other overlooking the compound. In the center, a stone engraved with names sits there. It reads-[/i]
"To those whom we've lost. Never Forget-"
-Cobalt Phoenix
-Marauder Felix
.....
.....
[i]The list continues on and on, such a saddening sight, seeing the names of people who had lost their lives. I arrive on one. [/i]
-Agent Missouri
[i]Again, the name, or alias of someone who had died. I had once known a man they called Missouri, he wasn't an "Agent"of any kind, though. Just a mercenary's alias, a testament to his home.I hold the letter that is hidden up my sleeve at the thought of that man, a Very talented person, and my closest friend. I look up from the memorial, turning around to observe the occurrences. People fighting, sparring, others purveying goods to the inhabitants, others purchasing them. It was all a very controlled chaos. I sit down at a nearby bench, just taking it all in. This was a familiar environment, but one that I wasn't sure whether or my I'd be accepted in. My thoughts return to that dear friend of mine, all the anger, the sadness, and the rage spill out at once. I abruptly stand up, and begin screaming in Latin, my head towards the sky.[/i]
Haec credam a deo pido? a deo justo? a deo scito?!
Cruciatus in Crucem! Tuus in Terra servus, nuntius fui, offcium perfeci!
Cruciatus in Crucem....
EAS IN CRUCEM!
[i]I fall to my knees, weeping. I had balled it up. Everything. I draw my revolver, examining it. It was my only memento of him. [/i]
[spoiler]Translation:
Am I to believe these things from a righteous God, a Just God, a wise God? To hell with your Punishments! I was your Servant, your messenger on Earth! I did my duty!
To hell with your punishments....
And to hell with you!
(Got this speech from one of the best moments from a TV show I used to watch, figured it fit)[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Bump for ease[/spoiler]

[b]kensu The elder of the village below spots you in the dojo and approaches[/b] Welcome back Missouri, we all appreciate your return.
-
[spoiler]The character Missouri is dead. This is Dusk. [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]apologies[/spoiler]
-
[b]appears behind you[/b] What were you just saying?
-
[i]Dirigendos pedes nostros in via Dei et similitudinem inferni[/i] [b]The deity walks up. Not nearing you really. He keeps a distance. But one he could close.[/b] What the hell brings someone like...well. I don't even know what you are! You just look like an emotional twat to me right now! [spoiler]Sorry about this character beforehand...don't take anything to heart with this guy.... And uh...fighting him may not be the best plan either....[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Aight. Same with Old Duskwalker. He may not be a serial killer anymore, but he still has a sense of pride to uphold. [/spoiler] And just who the hell are you?
-
[spoiler]Same! Just more uh...violent and immature. Think of handsome Jack mixed with deadpool![/spoiler] [b]He points to himself looking in boy directions. A look of "surprise" on his face.[/b] Who, ME?
-
Yeah. You. Whoever- Whatever the hell you are. [spoiler]To guide our feet into the way of God and Likeness of Hell. Sounds familiar... Btw are you also fluent in Latin? Never thought I'd meet someone else if so. [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Lol no. That would be cool though. I used google translate. So your translation was a little rough. Switch hell and God around. And I actually made it up![/spoiler] [b]He bows, seemingly mockingly of a long time past.[/b] Fierce deity...But you can call me KING! Slayer of Giants and dragons, Professional bachelor, swooner of women, Master swordsman and of course... A GOD. Well. At least that's what they USED to call me. If only these blow-guards really knew what I was capable of. MAYBE. They would stop challenging me to there excessive amounts of dick measuring contests! ANYWHO! Who the hell are you "Niagara falls?"
-
[i]I reluctantly digress.[/i] Name's Kaden Benton. Though you may know me by my a different name. One that I regret ever holding. I'm the Duskwalker.
-
Buddy. Pal. I literally woke up from an eight thousand year sleep three weeks ago. I don't know, or care about if you're a "dusk walker." Now, Niagara, get off your ass! Go for drinks or something! Get laid! Anything! Let's go!
-
I'm 354 years old. I used to be possessed by a chaos driven hormonal shit-blam!- known as Apophis. I used to be a Dragon Rider in Alagaesia. I was a serial killer for 176 years, 8 months, and 20 days. I have killed 25,321 people in that time. My wife was slaughtered in her sleep and just had to shoot my best friend in the head mere months ago. I'm not sure if I want a drink, or to waste my time with some slut.
-
....so...Scotch then? [b]He begins walking into town. And waves you over[/b] [spoiler]Not getting outta this one![/spoiler]
-
[i]I relent, my hand dropping down past my revolver, resting on a synthetic black handle if some other object. [/i] Whatever. Only one, though. I'm not going to let myself get nulled.
-
Of course! Wouldn't want little Niagara here to get the munchies! [b]He walks down to a cleaned up pub. Usually Mulligan is serving drinks, but he isn't there today. A fat man reeking of beer lays head down on the table in he corner of the pub. Otherwise. It is only you two.[/b]
-
Don't call me Niagra. I pull up my hood as I enter. [spoiler]Sorry if my replies are scarce. I'm playing Reach w/ JJ [/spoiler]
-
Well come on! You were a waterfall when I saw ya! [b]He sits down and gestures to the bartender. Who goes behind the bar[/b] [b]He pulls out a seat for you.[/b]
-
[i]I grunt, sit down. [/i]
-
So. Rainforest. What the hell were you doing weeping around for?
-
Like I said. I had to kill my best friend. He was possessed by the same son of a batch that possessed me, and he ordered me to shoot him in the head.

Edited by Inflatablepants: 2/9/2016 9:36:49 PMSounds like you got the devil on your shoulder! I know what that feels like... [b]The bartender comes over. Putting a bottle down and two glasses.[/b] Ah! Great! [b]He pours two glasses [/b]
-
On my shoulder? I had him in my -blam!-ing soul. [i]I reach over to the other glass, drawing it towards me. [/i]
-
Same! Ya. That isn't fun till he realized he was trapped... Hehe... [b]He takes a sip.[/b] [spoiler]Hint hint [/spoiler]
-
Okay..... [i]I reluctantly take a sip as not to disturb you. [/i]
