OOC: So, what's inside the bubble?


The "bubble" is just an area of Alex's surroundings "it" is turning transparent for "itself" to see better. On the outside edge of the "bubble" Alex is projecting the image of smoke to continue blending in with the surrounding area without being seen (from the outside it would appear as if there is just more smoke where Alex is). Alex is currently sprinting. The rest is explained in my last post (not OOC, I mean my last in-game post, although I still mentioned this information as well in the post. I literally just rephrased what I said before originally so it is easier to read.). Hopefully that helps. Sorry for phrasing that a bit weird.

OOC: As. I said. Who else was in the bubble? This illusion is supposed to be visible to others, right? If Alex was the only one in the bubble, no one would be able to see him from outside, nor he would be able to see others outside the radius. And if everyone was in the radius, then the smoke bubble is useless.

OOC: Ok... before I answer that question, IT IS NOT an illusion. I've had to explain this to 4 different people now who didn't want to read my character sheet (I know it's long... but please bear with me there.). It's just changing the color and texture of surroundings. Alex can see through the color change for what it originally was and what "it" has changed it too. Others see only what it is currently changed into by Alex. (Alex cannot change the shape of objects/material, only how they are visibly seen.) Alex is currently the only one within the "bubble" area at the moment. I said before in my post VERY CLEARLY that it is 25ft in diameter. Just go back and read that instead if you want that info (please do).

...Changing color and texture, AKA: fooling the senses, is not an illusion. Kay. If I say your illusion power can only modify existing objects, then it's cool? And isn't the smokescreen thrown by Riley kinda was... everywhere? Oh well. I'll modify to her holding onto it and prepping.

It wouldn't be fooling the senses, they would be seeing the correct colors and textures, Alex simply changes the correct colors textures to another technically correct color/texture layout (as in the color literally becomes the objects new color for the time being). Objects/materials color/texture are changed using a chemical signal which is near-instant when within 30ft but takes up to several seconds to travel in a relatively straight line when going beyond 30ft. I believe the smokescreen was described last by one of the players covering most of the visible ground level area, but I'm pretty sure it stops within several hundred feet at most, so you're probably right (we might want to ask Mode, lol). (Again, the information for my character is ALL on the sheet, just use that to get it faster.)

(Edit: I guess you can call it an illusion if you want, but I don't really think it counts as one imo. Also when most people here in this RP hear the word "illusion" they immediately think it's some form of direct mind manipulation, which isn't what the ability is at all.)

OOC: Draou, it's a manipulation of the senses, fooling the BRAIN with chemicals. It's an illusion. Magic. Scientifically explained magic.

Ashley could hear it. Riley and Dante was conversing, negotiating about a retreat from both sides and Dante taking off. Ashley could see it. Richard and was lying dead on the ground, killed off by his clones nearby. Elma was next to him. Alex... was in a smokescreen, his sprinting footsteps marking his location, and... and...

"AND YOU'LL E A T THEM ALL?" She flinched. She began to crouch and crawled into a fetus position, concealing herself in a balcony of a random apartment.

"Why... Why now..." She could hardly pronounce her words clearly.

"JUST LET IT GO, AND EAT THEM ALL. JUST LIKE YOU DID WITH YOUR-"

"It... It wasn't intentional..." She tried to reason it, but trauma was anything but reasonable.

"YOU SAVORED THE TASTE. YOU ATE THEM WITH A SMILE. YOU LOVE IT, THE SOFT, CHEWY SENSATION OF FLESH. YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A C A N N I B A L ."

The voice, the self-hatred, they wouldn't stop. Why here? Why now? Why wouldn't happen somewhere else? Why-

"BECAUSE I AM YOUR CONSCIENCE. A MONSTER WITH A CONSCIENCE IS NOTHING BUT A F R E A K ."

She tried to dismantle the twisted logic of her own, but... it was right. She was right. She was nothing but a freak. Not completely a human, yet, not completely a monster.

"WANNA E N D IT ALL?" The insidious whisper of her dark desire was lulling her into a trap. A sweet, embracing trap like her past cradle.

"Eat... them all..." She answered, with gasped breath.

"I KNEW YOU H A D IT IN YOU."

"I don't... hurt..."

"SAYS THE HURTER OF COUNTLESS! FROM GOONS TO ANIMALS, YOU'D EAT THEM ALL! EVEN YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD!"


She could not refute. All she could muster strength for, was holding onto her knees tightly, as though releasing her arms would make her fall apart like a broken doll. Her eyes were burning with tears, her ears buzzing with incoherent noise.

"Why me..."

OOC: Ya directly manipulate the way light travels to show a different appearance and texture of an object. Why ya such a stickler for complexity?

"Maybe I'm better off dead..." The moment she uttered those words, her mind immediately interjected,

"FABULOUS IDEA! JUST A QUICK BITE AT THE WRIST, AND YOU CAN DIE A PAINFUL DEATH FITTING A FREAK LIKE YOU! YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT."


"But... this body is my parents'..."

"YOU PROBABLY POOPED THEM OUT A LONG TIME AGO. FACE IT, THEY'RE GONE. THEY'RE NOT IN YOU ANYMORE."

Tears welled up as they dripped onto the ground. Even snot began to drip from her nose. She was pathetic.

The words seemed to flaot in mid-air in front of Eric. He watched them, dazed and confused about where the hell they came from. He waved the words away as he continued running. He wasn't exactly fond of being bossed around, but figured there was no point in arguing. Eric was about to turn the corner, but immediately backtracked as he saw a girl walking away from a dead body. What the hell happened over here? He waited until the girl disappeared out of sight before running up to the corpse. He picked around with the head a bit before rotating the body part and grunting. It was Richard, but Eric was unsure. He had seen this person completely pulled apart and walk out the area with 5 extra versions of him. "You're a very confusing individual." He sighed as he took a seat by the corps. "Wish I was the one to do this."

OOC: Lol Delor it was very important to resolve first. We probably should've done it in private chat, I guess I forgot to. Sorry about that, my fault. But we're done now. :D

AOOC: I just really like writing... a lot to be honest with you Xate. I get a bit carried away sometimes and like to dump details on everything. Really really bad habit I have. I also tend to get into a mood with what I read. Sometimes this influences my writing and I get very confused.

AAOOC: Yo Mode, your character got Alex's message right? Just checking. He didn't seem like he noticed it at all. :(

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still running forward, Alex stopped when "it" had reached the spot where "it" had seen the commotion before. Looking around confused, "it" then saw two figures walking away.

They aren't my friends...

Alex squinted, quietly walking after them. Moving out of the smoke cloud, "it" removed the fake smoke barrier. Still invisible, Alex debated something in "it's" mind for a moment.

My "friends" are killers... I should be taking this into account... but I'm not... I'm too soft. These people... also killers. Heh... I'm not much different. I can't trust any of them. Maybe Dante or Eve? Wait a moment...

Alex hadn't realized it, but "it" was now walking much closer to who "it" was stalking. Eyes widening under the mask, Alex thought about stopping and turning around, but something kept it moving after them.

I'm not thinking straight... why am I doing this?! I have to go bac- Oh... right...

Alex lost control again. Blood pumping, "it" raised "it's" hand and created an image of "itself" in a brown overcoat over casual clothing in front of both Riley and Elma. The image's hair was tied in the usual ponytail Alex wore. Turning into a random alleyway, Alex slumped noiselessly against the side of one of the buildings, resting as "it" controlled the doppelganger.

The image waved, a twisted frown on it's face as it stood waiting on the sidewalk ahead. It looked like it wanted to talk.

The blood pouring out slowed down before completely halting. Then thin white wires began sprouting out of the stumps of his body, stretching out before they made into contact with the severed limbs. They inserted themselves into the limb and after a short pause, more probes inserted themselves into the limb, checking the functions and conditions of the limb to make sure they were usable. Fingers and toes twitched and the limbs twitched as the muscles were contracted. Seems fit for use, the probes began drawing the limbs back in to reconnect all the tissues and bones. Once they were secure, a spiral of white wires began sprouting out of Richard's neck, reforming his spinal cord before spreading out to create his skull. More wires were released to thicken the skull and shape it appropriately before ribbons of tissues began wrapping themselves around the bones. Once filled out, it was all wrapped up in skin and the head was completed, hair sprouted out and the regenerated man sat up. He cracked his neck and looked at Eric. "Oh hi, did you see all of that?" He chuckled, 'You enjoy the show?"

Lamia and Rook ran up, they had waited for Riley and Elma to leave before they came to pick up his body. "Oh Richard you regenerated well." Lamia cradled Richard's head and checked for any discrepancies. He brushed some grit out of Richard's hair and then the two helped Richard up. "Well let's get you back to the apartment so you can change out of that uniform." He indicated the ripped sleeves.

Rook nodded and gestured his head over. "But first I'm going to grab some extra guns and grenades." He looked at Eric, "You want to help me carry them in?" The duo of Richard and Lamia left Rook and Eric behind as they climbed up the stairs and walked into Eve's apartment, Richard made his way into the bathroom and took off his tattered uniform and put on his original clothing, having had worn Tony's for the duration of the time. He flexed his left hand, having regenerated as well.

"Oh pink-eyed lady..." He sighed before opening up a grocery bag and quickly wiping up a sandwich. "Man I'm famished." He had to regain all the energy he had expended regenerating, less due to the fact he was able to reattach his limbs but he had to remake his hand and head. He cracked his jaw as he chowed down, readjusting his last few kinks to fix his recovery.

Elma didn't stop moving and for a moment it seemed like she was ignoring him again.

"I didn't ask for your help, I'm fine Riley," she answered curtly, "I had everything under control."

Riley shrugged, following in pace with Elma, "I knew that much... I was more just referring to you, are you, in general, alright?" He asked, pointing to her with a finger.

He readjusted his rifle and pack on his back, making them easier to carry. He stuffed his hands into his jacket's pockets, striding alongside Elma.
