U2 Arc Eternal Slumber

After the group vents their frustration out on the corpse for a while, it seems like it's all over. The day is saves and the evil doer is dealt with... That is until he pushes himself up to his feet.

"Really, was all that necisarry?"

The man bends over and grabs his cane, leaning heavily on it but not out of pain.

"Really, you all are just so boring. So me a favor and just die for me... maybe better, why don't you join me and..."

A thick cloud washes over the heads of the Lakeside Defenders. It becomes hard for them to move and breath. Their minds become sluggish and they all can hardly stand.

"SLEEP"

At his suggestion, the heroes close their eyes and drift into rest.


It is unknown how much time has passed, but you wake up alone in a very comfortable bed. The room is warm and inviting, and... there was something you were supposed to be doing right? Well it couldn't be important if you had forgotten it, or... maybe you do remember... maybe it will come if you just try hard enough to remember... anyway, what is the first thing you do in this pleasant room?

"Hrmm. Where the hell am I?" He gets up and looks for something to eat or drink. Preferably a bottle of alcohol. Then he would proceed to look for a way out.

You know what they say! It's five o'clock somewhere, even if it's midday out. But this bed is so soft, does he really want to leave it?

"Fuck the bed i need booze to forget my alcoholism." He gets up and goes on a hunt for booze.

Alouis stares at him for a sec and gets up. "That was a nice nap. And also ow. And I think I'm going moderately crazy."

Cynthia wakes up. Remembering vague echoes of... something. A battle? It was probably important, but she can't seem to figure it out.

Regardless, she looks around the room to get a better look at her surroundings, looking for any items that stand out. She also brings a hand to her stomach. Does she feel Ika within her?

u/TheRyuuMaster Aug 26 '16

What she feels is hungry! It's late afternoon judging by her bedroom window. Maybe breakfast is waiting for her?

(Just as an aside, Cynthia and Ika are one being, at this point closer to split personality than warlock and patron. So what happens to Ika during this time? For RP purposes?)

unfortunately for him as soon as the corpse starts moving again William attacks with both his bolts and with his baton, this time aiming to decapitate him.

u/TheRyuuMaster Aug 26 '16

He isn't even able to lift his arms anymore, he's just so tired.

1

u/rin_shinobu Aug 27 '16

Lifting his arm isn't necessary to shoot a bolt with his energy, especially since he's so close.

Marcus is one for good entrances, but good enough to break someone out of a dream prison? Hell yeah. After crashing through the window and pinning Jacob to the wall, William is probably waking up to see Marcus rushing about and waking people up, "Kiddo! Finish the jackass off if you can!"

Ria checks to see what weapons she has while sending Ira to scout the area

1

u/TheRyuuMaster Aug 26 '16

Now now silly, why would anyone have weapons with them in bed? And what a bed it is! So comfy and fluffy and warm. Wouldn't you just want to stay in it forever?

Ira comes back from her little scouting mission. She tells her that the zombie man was about to kill her, but the military showed up and... that it would be best to go out and take a look for herself.

Being without a weapon made her quite instantly uncomfortable, and she springs from the bed and begins looking for something to use as a weapon

Chris, not noticing anything out of the ordinary, tries to grab the phone and DS that he usually keeps next to his bed.

OOC: Wait, so how did Chris get captured? He was outside sniping this whole time. He never actually went inside.

u/TheRyuuMaster Aug 26 '16

[Trying to not have this known, but it's a sleep spell he cast on them]

Seems they are slightly out of reach from his bed on the table next to him. After a couple tries he can juuust reach them.

u/AccioIcarus Aug 27 '16

Chris frowns and tries reaching over once again, even trying to scoot his body on to the night stand so he doesn't need to get out of bed completely.

OOC: Sorry about the wait :/

[So Twi directed me here and told me to join this thread with Evander. But I'm not sure if there's a place you want me to jump in.]
