The Roleplay Paradise Redux: Fortis Novum Mundum

[Darkflare]

"There is no shame in choosing to play it safe. It would be hard to complete your errand if you're not among the living, after all. I trust then that your group will not be such dummkopfs as to head toward that forest until the sun rises again."

 

The woman turned around to head back to the magical city.

 

"You mentioned the oracle. From my studies, I've determined that it's impossible to see the future, at most what you could see is the most probable future, one that has already been altered just by your knowledge of its existence."

So, looks like we've got another person mixed into this mess, huh? Well, anyways, nice to meet you, Joyce. The name's Dante.

 

Joyce: Hi there! It's nice knowing you too.

What? How did you just get here?

 

Jude: I'm as confused as you are...

Jude: But since it led me to both of you, I shouldn't be complaining. Magnum, do you know where Seraph is? The group is waiting by the city's entrance.

Idealis bit back a harsh remark, instead opting to let out an irritated sigh. She was right, after all; in their current condition, the chances of them getting away without getting hurt were very slim.

 

Idealis: Fine...you win. Let's spend the night here and hope that we don't find everyone dead in the morning.

 

Yomi: Glad I got through you.

Yomi: Now then...I wonder what currency this place uses.

Yomi: With that in mind, I guess we can say the future is always changing. So "true" future prediction is just a myth.

Yomi: Well...discussing this in public might cause mass panic as the Oracle told us. I'm sure you want to hear about our meeting with him.

Idealis: I'm assuming gold. Seems like it'd match the theme of the place!

Idealis: Then we could be in an even worse situation than we're already in...ugh, let's just look for an inn. I'm going to make myself worried sick at this rate.

Idealis: Let's find an inn to discuss it at, then.

 

Idealis began to head away from the gate, scanning the streets for any sign of an inn.

[Sinjik]

Seth: ..... (My next target, is a person that controls minds? What a nuisance... I guess my purpose here was to have more blood on my blades. It seems that your my next victim, Athena...)

[A person]

Eventually, Idealis would stumble upon a large building with a wooden sign hanging upon the facade depicting three Z's going from top to bottom, getting smaller as they went down. Without a word, she made her way into the building, expecting the others to follow her inside as a bell was struck by the corner of the door, causing it to ring. The smell of a hearty soup cooking upon a hearth filled the air around them, but it was preceded by a very warm gust of air punching them in the gut.

 

 

 

Elysia Inn
 

 

Seemingly used to the differences in temperature causing a shock to her body, Idealis marched in and took a deep breath.

Idealis: I like this place already!

 

Meanwhile, between the tables was what appeared to be a short girl dressed in an unusual battle suit. To those capable of sensing power, hers was no greater than that of a commoner within the city.

 

???: Hello, visitors...Daddy's sleeping right now, but I can help you all. Are you here for a meal, or maybe to spend the night?

 

Idealis noticed the girl.

 

Idealis: Oh, hello...we're here to spend the night and...maybe get a meal at the same time.

 

???: Yay! It's not expensive at all! Only seventy-five gold coins! 

 

???: We can also take copper and silver, if you have them.

 

???: But no pompadillions. It's money you can't hold nor spend except in dumb fancy towns.

 

Idealis let out a sigh of relief. She dug around in her pockets for a moment to see if she was lucky enough to have kept the money she had on her person. She glanced back at the others.

 

Idealis: Any of you have any gold on you? I'm hoping this world's gold is the same as my world's gold...

[Infinite Kyo]

As the Discussion continued in the meeting room Kyo stepped up to tell them what he had learned while traveling to the slums

Kyo: we did see a lot of soldiers it was sure weird.....there were a hell of a lot of criminals around though

Kyo then turns to Lightflare

Kyo: its been a long time hasn't it man you sure have changed. at least in looks haha

@LightFlare_Da_Realest

Kiryu: Kyo maybe we should get back on track here how about telling everyone that thing that attacked us

Morrigan stares at Lightflare with a curious gaze from across the room.

Morrigan: (oh my what an intense amount of spiritual energy)

Kyo then turns back to Kiryu

Kyo: alright, alright so anyway I could sense this weird ominous energy coming from one of the abandoned buildings in the slums. I went to check it out and.......I found something really weird and creepy. basically it was a pitch black version of me with red eyes and it uses purple flames instead of normal ones like mine. some kind of doppleganger or something it was weird it was a pretty close match. it copied every single one of my moves Kiryu and Morrigan showed up a little bit after

Kiryu: I've thought a lot of stange things in my day but that was certainly unique it was faster than I could see too. Morrigan swooped in and saved me id be dead right now if it wasn't for her the shadow-thing fled as soon as he found out he'd been outnumbered he was so fast we couldn't even hope to catch it

Idealis dug out some pocket change from her coat. All of that money she gained from those hunts was gone...it was almost exactly like she had just left home for the first time once again. She let out a sigh. Hopefully there would be ways to get more money here, otherwise, sleeping on the streets was going to become a viable option. However, there was an issue: if she didn't pay enough, some of them were going to have to find somewhere else to sleep.

 

Idealis: How many beds are in each room?

 

???: There are two beds per room!

 

Idealis: Okay...give me a moment.

 

She placed a gold purse upon the table, then sifted through it to count how much gold she had. 500. She had to manage 500 coins, and she was already giving away 300 to ensure that her party would be able to have a warm place to stay. At least she didn't have to exchange them. Silently, she hoped and prayed that there would be a way to get more of it, otherwise, she was going to run out of it quickly. She handed the coins to the girl, who examined them, then raised an eyebrow.

 

???: Huh? What's with these coins?

 

Oh dear. That was the last thing Idealis wanted.

 

Idealis: U-um...they're gold coins, right?

 

???: Yeah, but they have a different look. Where'd you get these?

 

Idealis: I got them from home...

 

???: Where's "home"?

 

Idealis glanced back at the other party members, as if seeking a solution to this problem she had just put them in.

[Agni Blackheart]

Elizabeth Bathory

 

She followed them to the inn, immediately running to the fireplace.

 

Lize: Aaaah, this feels so good... finally, I'm warm...

 

Magnum Alexandria and Seraph Artwaltz

 

Jude's sudden appearance hasn't surprised Magnum much. He knew the disc served for that, other than the fact that teleporting wasn't something so unusual for him.

 

Magnum: Well, I don't. Maybe he's still fighting, so-

Seraph: I'm here.

 

Soon, Seraph approached them. He seemed to be fine.

 

Magnum: Sir Seraph!!

Seraph: Sorry if I took my time. Has the conversation with the Oracle ended?

Magnum: Seems like it. Jude just appeared to take us back to the town.

Seraph: Well, we shouldn't leave them waiting for too long. Let's go.

Magnum: W-Wait... about the person who attacked me...

Seraph: I'll tell you back in the town. Dawdling here will call the attention of the guardians and we might end up in an unnecessary fight against dragons.

Magnum: Yes sir!

 

Agni Artwaltz, Melina, Rokurou Rangetsu, 5T, 13P and Anna Ametrine

 

Rokurou: I've got no idea, his background's shady as himself and Hakumen never gave us too much details about him.

Melina: Hmmhmm. This calls for investigative work.

Agni: Melina, do you have any ideas?

Melina: Well, gathering information is the first part of my job. I could try to gather some pieces of the puzzle around town.

Agni: That seems good, but let's leave it to tomorrow then.

13P: Well, we could try to see something in the network... 5T, you can manage that, right?

5T: That would require a really potent machine, capable of even reaching archives and data from other systems. Clearly, even if this place is well equipped, something like that isn't in our reach.

Anna: ...

Agni: Still thinking about the soldiers?

Anna: Yes... after all, if they are human... how come I never felt a change in the flux?

Agni: I don't know what to say about them either...

 

As the discussion went on, Melina noticed how bothered Kirimuri was. She believed it had to do with the whole scenario, so she asked out of curiosity.

 

Melina: Well, someone seems bothered. Care to opine, Kirimuri, or do you prefer to remain as the silent outsider out of 6 people who never got inside?

 

Lucina

 

After a good amount of walk, they finally reached the Hangout.

 

Lucina: And here we are. This is the Warrior's Hangout. My allies should be already inside.

Idealis glanced back at the other party members, as if seeking a solution to this problem she had just put them in.

Seth: (Tch, I should have seen this coming, she has us cornered. I'm not sure if what i'm about to say is going to be a mistake or not, but it's worth a shot)

Seth: We are from different worlds, i'm not exactly sure which worlds they came from, but I am from Earth...

The woman from before entered the inn noting the group.

"I wasn't so sure if I would see you again so quickly, fortunate that you decided against heading off to that forest so late."

 

She approached Idealis.

 

"I take it that you ran into a problem due to your poor planning, fraulein. Perhaps you would like to discuss it with me?"

The girl gasped.

 

???: Earth? Are you telling me that you're...?!

 

She quickly shook her head.

 

???: I'm no fool...just tell me where you got those coins from, okay?

Just now, Darkflare said:

She approached Idealis.

 

 

"I take it that you ran into a problem due to your poor planning, fraulein. Perhaps you would like to discuss it with me?"

Idealis held up a single gold coin for her to examine. The design upon its head was significantly different from that of a gold coin minted within this area.

 

Idealis: The coins aren't the same, and she noticed...

[Darkflare]

4 minutes ago, A person said:

 

Idealis: The coins aren't the same, and she noticed...

"Fraulein, anyone with working eyes could notice. Regardless, if you're willing to do a simple job for me, I believe I can assist you with your problem."

[DuckMannnn]

"This reminds me of a similar case in my world... If mind controlling is involved then I'd rather stay out of this. I refuse to go back there. Can't we just report to the king of this city instead? Or is he too blind to even notice what's happening here?"

 

"And most importantly, why haven't those who went to see the King come back yet?"

[A person]

10 minutes ago, Darkflare said:

It was a necessary out, but one that was also risky.

Lucina: And here we are. This is the Warrior's Hangout. My allies should be already inside.

The commander looked up at the building, but Penelope immediately ran towards it.

 

Penelope: Heeeeeere weeeeee cooooooome!

 

The commander sighed.

 

???: She is going to get us in trouble before we even get inside...

 

???: Anyway, let us go in and meet with the others.

 

The commander started to make her way to the building, followed wordlessly by the robotic knight.

[Darkflare]

3 minutes ago, A person said:

Idealis: What is it?

"Simple, you're going to Candor, right? Your group shall escort me there. I'll pay your rooms as payment. While I can take care of myself, I believe it's better to have close allies nearby. I believe it's a fair deal."

Penelope: Owwwww, that hurt like a bitch!

 

The commander snickered, losing her composure. She couldn't help but smile as well.

 

???: Pay more attention next time, Penelope.

 

???: Anyway, her mistake has probably alerted them to our presence. If they do not come out soon, I suppose we should come back tomorrow when it is open.

Yeah... that's right. Man I forget so quickly...but at least you have a phone. I took a stab in the dark there. How bout this? Darkflare, if she showed a picture of her friends to the maids, could they let them in when they arrive. I guess that may not include the others, but at least those 2 will get in. Or will you give a pass to anyone Hugh and Ludger vouch for?

"Excellent."

 

She summons a small portal and takes out a pouch from it. She begins to take out the gold, counting it as she does.

 

"That should be enough for 5 rooms."

 

She looked over to Idealis.

 

"Before you ask, I prefer to have my own room. I'm sure your friends won't mind."
