Blueprints [mission/ls] (Read 574 times)

Now, what was it, exactly, that he was looking at? Zombies? He was looking at a quintuplet comprised of humans with rotting flesh and little sense of self. Little sense? That's right. Reanimated corpses certainly would not possess any sense of self, but what of those who lived with an incredible sense of self? Such people must be standing before him. There were three undead males blocking his path. Sure, Nago could just go around, but you know what? There were two female undead standing on their shoulders. If one were to look up further, there was one more. It was female, in a japanese-style school uniform, had big, cute eyes and stood atop the shoulders of the two females below her. They formed a five-man triangle and each had their arms folded across their chest.

'I'm supposed to help get a good blueprint for our ship, and then some kind of Death Magic gets in my way?' Nago thought to himself, mirroring their unapproachable stance with his own pair of arms crossed in front of his own chest. “You know,” he said out loud, “I could just walk around you all.” Standing on the sidewalk like that. What was wrong with them besides being dead? As a response, they all let out a ghoulish, inhuman shriek, but maintained their formation all the same.

Nexus continued walking and let out a slight sigh as he ran his fingers through his hair. He was looking for the best person to go to and get some good blueprints for the guilds ship that they were trying to make, he had asked around the docks where he worked from when he wasn't doing missions for the guild. After talking to a few of the guys around the dock all roads at seemed to lead to one person. The one person he didn't want to go and see, the reason he had asked the others was because he hoped that they could lead him in another direction. it seemed that he wasn't that lucky however and he found himself heading toward that person's place even now.

Nexus hadn't really been paying attention to everything going on around him at that moment he had pretty much been lost i his own world. He was wondering just how to approach this and try and get them to agree to give him the plans for the guild ship. It wasn't that the person was bad by any means it was just they were weird and slightly creepy in more ways then one. However when it came down to it they were the best their was when it came to designing ships and everyone knew it that was why most tried to get them to draw up plans for them. That was those that could get pass the level of oddness that came off of them. He was brought from his thoughts at the sound of someones voice along with some weird shrieks of some kind.

When Nexus looked up he saw what had made the sound there was a guy standing in front of a...tower of zombies. Nexus let out another sigh, this was just what he meant the level of weirdness never seemed to amaze him. Nexus turned his attention to the man in front of the undead tower and realize he had seen him before. He was a member of the guild, but Nexus had never really took the time to really talk to him. It was more seeing him in passing. Nexus started toward the tower "Hey, it seem that you were led to this place. This really is the best place to get the blueprints....if only we didn't have to deal with them." As soon as he said that the zombies seem to react more groans and shrieks came from them then.

Somebody was behind him. How did he know? Why, somebody was talking to him and just happened to be behind him. The boy with his characteristic green, ghostly jacket turned an eye towards the newcomer. The face he was presented with was one that he recognized. "Oh, yeah, I figure it would be." His response was one made with the intention of continuing. "Uh - sorry, yeah. I don't even know yer name, but yer a part of my guild. I know that, anyway."

Really, though, it really wasn't the time for idle chatter. After all, the pyramid of zombies before him was starting to break apart. The top of it was leaping down onto the ground until they were all there in front of him. It was nice of the first to get to the ground to wait for the others. Not nice to Nago, however, for soon after they all bolted towards him.

"Oh, shi-" he exclaimed. Right after, Nago's physique melted into a mass of black, bedimmed mists coiling around limbs no longer human, but bestial. A canine, a pup, floppy ears, eyes of black with pupils of chilling white. Nago had retreated into the air as a canine composed of ectoplasm, which resulted in the zombies looking up at him with no idea what to do next except endure the laughter of the ghostly pup overhead.

[Nexus Martel]

Nexus walked and stood next to his guild mate giving him a quick nod as he looked over the wall of zombies that blocked their path. Nexus turned his attention to the man next to him and he couldn't really say he was surprised that the man didn't know his name, after all it wasn't as if the two of them were very close. They were guild mate yea, and with that it meant that their paths crossed a few times and they would notice each other in passing but they weren't that close. Still you could only pass a person so many times before you actually noticed them. " You're right about the guild thing, and don't feel to bad about not knowing my name. I can't really say that I know yours either just that we are in the same guild. Funny huh, either way I'm Nexus and..."

It seemed that the time for talking was over as far at the zombies were concerned. Nexus watched as the zombies jumped down from their wall and started to them. Nexus let out a low sigh, this was another reason why he didn't want to come here, even if they ere the best at what he needed they were paranoid and odd and things were never easy with them. Well it was to late for him to change his mind now. He would just have to deal with it and hope that they would hear him out. It was then the zombies charged and when for the other guy with him. Only they were left with nothing when he shifted with his magic and ended up right out of their reach. That however left only one target for them him.

Nexus place his hands to the ground a black flame appearing as he drew forth his Hellraiser from it and looked at the undead creatures. They hadn't attacked him, not just yet anyway so he figured me might as well try "I know you are watching us, we didn't come here to start any trouble we just want to talk and get you two to draw up some blueprints for us. After all none are better at it then the Sliver twins."

Overhead, he continued to drift. His tail playfully swept from one side to the other as he proceeded to assume a position that looked as if he were simply laying on the floor. His elbows dug into the air that was supposed to represent the ground, bestial face idling within the impossibly upturned paws he possessed. He was looking down on the undead beneath him both literally and figuratively. His fellow guildie drew something from the ground after spawning black flame. "Oooo!" Nago was intrigued by the sight. Nexus' words, though - who were they directed towards? It couldn't have been the zombies. Were there other persons around?

"Zombie!" One found the little creature had landed right on top of their head. A ghostly apparition of a claw surrounded his own and without warning, it jettisoned out. His paw being right on top of his head, it was an understatement to say it didn't have to travel far before it pierced the being's head. Retracting it, he hopped off just in time before another fell into the one he was just one. Clumsy, huh? That one got a claw through the head as well. That leap, coupled with his flight ability, lead him to the stomach of another. It grabbed at him - no wait, it didn't, its arm fell to the ground after another rapid extension, swipe, and retraction of his claw. Then a swipe at its head was all that was needed to have it collapse under its own weight and plummet to the ground. Nago fleed to the air once more. "Thanks for attracting their attention, Nexus! Oh, right. Yeah, I'm Nago!" When the rest ran for Nexus, Nago called after him. "And who's the Silver Twins?"

[Nexus Martel]

Nexus watched the moment of the zombies looking pass them for a moment hoping that they would show themselves. He let out a slight sigh when the sliver twins didn't make their appearance and knew that meant doing things the hard way. Great now he would have to play their twisted game and with them things always got weird. Nexus took the moment to glance at his ghostly buddy floating around over the few zombies that had started his way. It seemed that he had decided to move from just floating to getting rid of the zombies. He was making quick work of the undead bodies that were trying their hardest, fail as they might to catch him. It was kind of a funny sight if it wasn't for the fact that well they were zombies wanting to kill the two of them. It seemed that his floating friend was done with his share of the zombies because he started talking once again.

Nexus raised his hellraiser blade watching at the zombies ran right at him, with a slight grin. As soon at one of them was within range he raised his blade slashing upward cutting the walking corpse right down the middle. "Anytime there Nago, nice to officially meet you though wish...one second." Nexus ducked under a pair of out stretched hands that were trying to grab him and slashed his sword horizontally cutting the zombie in half then stabbing his blade into it's head. The last of the zombies came rushing at him and Nexus simply raised his blade letting the corpse run right into it stabbing itself on his blade before he flicked his blade knocking its head off.

Nexus turned to Nago again finishing his conversation "Like I was saying, to bad we didn't meet under better circumstances. As for the silver twins I figured you would have known being here. They are the best ship designers around. They have made the blueprints for most of the ships that come in and out of port. However as you can see...they are a bit odd and will probably take some convincing to get them to draw some up for us."

A shrill whistle, steadily dropping in pitch, was Nago's response to his partner laying waste to the threat, or lack there of, that presented themselves to him. “Damn, that was nice,” he said with a wave from above. He didn't remain there, but instead relocated himself to the waiting ground below. By the time he did, Nago was within his usual, human form once more. He lifted himself from the squat he'd settled into as Nexus began to speak.

The best ship designers around. Nago knew absolutely nothing about that, but until recently, he had absolutely no interest in the fishing industry and all of its requirements. A short-lived scratching of his head unearthed another response from the boy. “Yeah... I don't know much about this kinda thing. Silver Twins, eh. So, you mean t' tell me that they were responsible for that zombie ambush er somethin'?” Puzzlement was quite apparent. Nago was convinced that it was simply a random encounter. Thankfully, it appeared the rest of the town had gone untouched by the undead threat. Such was likely thanks to the guild nestle within the humble town.

“You know where these twins are? We might as well head straight for 'em. Get 'em to draw us up some blueprints so we can start building our mighty ship!”
