Dæmonicus

[Picaresque]

I wanted to play. I wanted to play. I wanted to play. I am forsaken. Jared Cory left the comfort of his home. He left the comfort of his mother's embrace to 'play' outside. Jared hated it when his mother made him play outside. He wanted to construct things in his room with legos, and he wanted to listen to music, and he wanted to forget there was an outside. Forget where "dad went to heaven."
Jared stepped away from the back door as if entering pool of cold water despite the sunny warmth on this May day that defined the Spring. He waded his way to the swing-set his father had put up for him, it was a small metal set with a four-foot slide on the left end, pointed west. Jared remembered a time when he couldn't do this. Age five and it was too fresh then. Now he was seven, and now he was forgetting he had an age five in the ebbing numb of his mind they called a memory.
A chilly spring breeze blasted westward, pounding on Jared's back until he shivered. This chill, utter cold, he felt at home with it, and his comfort at this was the only reason he didn't fall into the nether of dark green fear that would consume most when a red metallic voice emanated from beneath the slide. Jared squinted his eyes making out a small circular shape about the size of a basketball beneath his slide obscured by seldom cut grass, and it seemed to be talking. "Jared!" The voice croaked in a rotting wretch of a voice, and for reasons inexplicable, Jared came to it. He removed the orb shaped object from beneath his slide with caution and a tinge of fear, but it all paled to his shock. "D-...Dad?"
From beneath the slide he drew his fathers head, severed at the neck and spewing a thick black liquid. "Jared..." He had trouble speaking. From what once was, we shall return forever." He paused, choking slightly on the liquid and spit out one last word before dissipating into blood right in his sons' arms. "Dæmonicus"

[[Alright, so here's the idea for this role play; we create characters with a basic common emotional breakthrough, and a touch with the spiritual world that would normally induce a level of insanity. However, an anomaly occurs with these specific people. When their emotions would make them go insane, which is to say at the exact climactic moment of emotional transformation, they do not break. Instead, the emotion breaks through with infinite expression in the spiritual world. Manifesting down here in the physical world as a specified power, or a "Dæmonicus" if you will.
Character sheets go as following:

<<THREAD RULES>>
1. Please try to maintain decent grammar. I'm not going to enforce this too heavily, unless it gets to a point where people can't understand you.
2. Remember to be nice to everyone OOC, and do not forget that a persons' character being mad at another's does not mean that you are fighting OOC (Obviously ;P)
3. Please correct people in PM's if you feel the need to, I think it's a bit rude to do it on the actual thread.
6. Try to post regularly, and inform the others if your not going to be able to so we can continue without you.
7. Please have your posts continue the storyline instead of vaguely dancing around the replies with reactions.
8. Most importantly have fun. :)

OOC: Question quick. Do we have to be literate? Don't get the latin part.

[Picaresque]

((If I can understand you, your literate enough for me :)
I don't like all the condescending hype on forum literacy, so the answer is "kinda-sorta" if that helps. xD))

[katgurldiva]

OOC: I'm not literate but understandable

Transformation story(optional if you want it to remain secret): She came home from cheer practice and the house was quiet, to quiet. She went up to her parent's room and called "Mom." She knew her mom did not need to work today and if she did she would have called her cell phone. She looked around and saw her mom's shirt sticking out of the closet.

Character Name: Kisuke Matsu
Post Transformation Title: Terrae (roughly means Earth)
Power Description: Can manipulate stone, earth, ground, rock and the like.
Transformation story: Kisuke wasn't to close with his parents, since they where out most of the time at work or whatever, but he had an older sister who was very dear to him. As people do, his sister started dating and Kisuke didn't really agree with her taste in guys, and for good reason. One day his sister was late coming home, so he went for a walk on her normal dating rout to see if she was just held up with her bo or something, but it was nothing so lucky. As he turned his head into an ally as he passed he spotted a figure in the shadows, lying against the wall. Curiously, he walked in to get a closer look, and gasped in horror. Lying on the floor of the ally with her torso cut open and insides spilling out was his beloved sister...
Birthplace: Chicago
Age: 15
Weapons: Hammer, not carried on him but easily brought to him.
Notes/other: Kisuke wears a small gold colored mask which covers his eyes most of the times. He does this because he doesn't feel connected to the way he looks anymore, and feels his old eyes are not quite right to be the window to his new self. He also mostly refers to himself in the plural, though the reason for this is not as clear to him. Perhaps its because he feels like he is living for both himself and his sister now, or perhaps its because he speaks for the earth aswell. Or maybe he is just schizo or something, no ones really sure, even Kisuke.

{Oh come on...i hate different languages.}

[Picaresque]

((Welcome Sasuke, I'm loving the profile. :)
Anywho, I've been thinking about how to start this off right, so I decided to consult our founding players; the lot of you. My original idea was to play the villain so-to-speak and lure other Dæmonicus to wherever for a malicious purpose of some sort. (Obviously I'd elaborate on it as I went along. xD) Any input to the conceptual start up would be cool, just get creative and we'll probably come up with a much more poetic reason to meet IC... unless you like that idea.))

[katgurldiva]

OOC: Works for me...I'm prefer not to do latin or I will get screwed up big time.

[Picaresque]

((So considering the lack of brainstorming going on... anyone object to starting?))

[katgurldiva]

OOC: I can...can I just leave her name how it is?

[Picaresque]

((Yeah of course Diva, and should you ever choose to give her a title for her power just edit the profile.))

[katgurldiva]

{I gave her a power not a title...we can use any name in any language?}
Ashelia sighed. She thought of losing her parents and how other kids had lost her parents. She thought of the word her mother had said to her before she passed away. 'Daemonicus.' Most the time she did not care what it meant but now she did.

[Picaresque]

A cold wind blasts by Ashelia's face as a dense fog settles in around here unnaturally fast. Following this fog is a short round cloaked figure, he comes right up to Ashelia. He wears a golden mask smiling immensely to hide is own though you don't doubt he too is grinning with the impish little giggles he releases while chanting the word in different tones and voices. "Daemonicus, Daemonicus, Dae.. moni... cus... Hehehehehehheeee. Little girl, little girl! To undo whats done give death a whirl, which is to say, don't die, but make them pay." The figure seems to teleport from place to place around Ashelia untill he's right behind her with another giggle. "You must adjourn to a land of great unhappiness to return to yourself should you desire. Land of slight slate maintain its beauty, sooo beautiful." He giggles again, his annoying impish behavior seems creepily unnerving in this fog. "In loss of mentality, in loss of mettle we call this slate box where you shall settle..." He pauses, enjoying the effect. "Seattle" Before you can ask questions he leaves with a giggle as if nothing but a memory now, and the fog is gone.

Power Description: Can become invisible, control shadows, and she can throw her voice she has some affeect on others emotionsand only can see one spirit and that is the one of her beloved....Alexander
Transformation story(optional if you want it to remain secret): Elizabeth had a terrible life. Her father abandoned her mother and herself. She was taken to a strange home were she knew nobody. Her mother died so unexpectedly. Not to mention the only male she ever trusted, ever loved died in her arms. She sat by his grave for days without eating or drinking. Nobody realised she was gone. Nobody cared she was gone. She decided one night to kill herself on her beloved's grave at midnight. At the stoke of the bell striking twelve she lunged the dagger towards her heart. Then an icy cold hand grabbed her hand and the gentle vioce she had come to love spoke. "Do not do this." His silver hair waved about in the wind, the wound in his chest of the dagger still showed, the dagger Elizabeth was about to kill herself with. His icy dead blurred blue eyes held warmth to her as she dropped the dagger and began to cry. He then faded away as she wept then slept upon the unusually warm grave.

Age:14

(( >< Why the heck is everyones powers messing with other people's emotions. What the heck people! We have a total of 6 people and 4 of them have the power to mess with other people's mind or emotions. We need some diversity))

[Elyon_Daine]

(( i can only feel the intense power.. i do not mess xD ))

[Coga]

((hehe, I see that now. Editing mishaps ^^;; happens all the time. But that still leaves us a low diversity of powers.. but thats just a personal nick))

[victory]

ooc: i changed my powers to be different

[Picaresque]

((*squee!* I love all of your profiles so far! :) Anywho, I'm not in a particular mood to retype it for each profile so assume that a similar tiny man comes to each of you through dense fog IC, and does his little rhyming bit then flies off. If you try to tamper with it just ask OOC and I'll tell you what can and cannot happen to the little guy I'm calling 'The Messenger' ))

[victory]

Elizabeth awoke upon the grave, still warm. Her eyes red from tears, her hair slightly sleep ridden. Elizabeth felt a slight chill and she shivered.

[Coga]

The message was unmistakable in places, and unarguable, since its source was not understood, at least thats how Kisuke saw it. And so he packed what few things he felt he wanted to take with him and left for the train station. He refused to go anywhere by plain, that was too far from the ground and he felt to powerless up in the sky. That was at the beginning of his tip. Now he neared the city of Seattle, just as he was instructed to do. He didn't know why he was going along with this, perhaps because he had nothing better to do, but for whatever reason he was almost there. Terrae let out a light sigh as he saw it on the horizon. "It rains.. too much. I don't think we will like it here.. but I suppose we don't have a choice if we want to find out more about this" he muttered to himself. After the development of his powers and the taking on of his new name, he started to refer to himself as a plural, though exactly why he didn't really know.

((I did a little tweaking with his profile, since I made him a little prematurely.))

[katgurldiva]

OOC: I chased my power

[Picaresque]

((I'm doing Victory's encounter because it's a bit different. Also, I love the Technomancy Katgurl. :) ))
A by now familiar fog fills the graveyard as a tiny man walks up to you carrying what appears to be a tray of very expensive foods. His grinning golden mask shining under his black hood and black cloak. His usual impish voice seems quieted and tempered. "You must eat Elizabeth." The Messenger looks to the grave. "He would want you to, would he not?" He then quietly sets the tray down at her feet and looks up, his grinning face imprinted in your mind there forever like a flaming stamp. "You must travel to make it worth it, to continue living. Go to the land of remorseless gray skies for Dæmonicus." The Messenger begins to fade, the fog receding. "Seattle."

[Elyon_Daine]

Lilane sighed. Her bag lugged over her shoulder. She kewn what she had to do now. It was bothering her that she had to travel half-way across the world just for something she had no imformation on. Her new name and new destination gave her wondering thoughts. She went to the Airport and borded her plane immidiately.

[victory]

"Seattle...."Elizabeth said in a slight daze. ELizabeth then nodded and ate a little before she put the dagger back in it's shealth and tying it to her leg. Before she left she knelt to the grave marker and hugged it almost feling a return hug. "I will miss you Alexander." She heard his vioce quietly whisper "Be careful Elizabeth...Or should I say Victoria?" Victoria stood and walked away from the grave with her back pack full of what she needed. Away from her past. Away from her old self as Elizabeth Strain, but she would still carry her memories...or Elizabeth's memories. She would also have Alexader's spirit watching her from a distance till he knew she was safe, but that she didn't know. She walked all night until she was out of the dammed state of Minnesota.

[Picaresque]

((Alright I know most threads- or at least the ones I've seen- don't do this, but I'd kind like to do this in acts. One reason is so that if people wanted to come in late they could reply act by act (as tweaked by interaction from other players of course) and catch up that way, and also because it allows more order to a poetic, more stage like scenario. I'm thinking of ending this as Act 1 "The Calling" and beginning Act 2 as "Head to head, or not." ;P Any ideas or comments on this? ))

[Elyon_Daine]

(( as odd as it may be i understand where your coming from. It makes sense to me to. I think its a brilliant idea ^^ ))

[Coga]

((it certainly is a revolutionary one, and it prevents the real story of the RP from being lost in the interactions between characters, like what has happened in so many RPs, by taking the time to redirect everything every so often, so I think it sounds totally brill.))

((Also, I was thinking about this earlier today and I had a little thought. I only intended on putting this in as an ability for my character but I thought I should bring it up anyway. The 'other side' that our characters broke into is the spiritual world, right? So wouldn't it be logical that some of us have the ability to see spirits and Auras and the like? I was only going to make it a small talent of my characters, but I thought mentioning it to you first would be better))

[victory]

ooc: sounds cool to me!

[katgurldiva]

OOC: Thankies....

[Picaresque]

((Wow, thanks for all the positive feedback. xD And Coga, I absolutely think that should be included but! Try to dance around much clear definition of the spiritual world as it can be one hell of a philosophical headache objectively defining a reality through opposite spectrum ends in a slew of experiences. No pun intended.
I'm going to introduce a character on your side, and play Jared or rather "Atra" as the villain- or atleast that's how it will appear. :3 Let it begin!))
Chapter Two!
"Head to head... Or not."
((.... I'd have my character and reply but I just got kinda sick so bear with me, I can't really think anything out right now >.<))

[katgurldiva]

{Yikies...now I am confused.}

[sasuke231]

((Whoa I'm so sorry I went to Florida for vacation....))


Damion shivered rubbed his arms.Another cold win blasted on his face and he shivered walking deeper into the alley to get to the other side of the street.

[victory]

Victoria walked the streets of some unknown town in Iowa. She thought thname sounded familiar....Postville. "It is going to be a long walk to Seattle." Victoria mumbled as a car sped by. "Dæmonicus. I wonder what it means...."

[Picaresque]

As Damion and Victoria((And anyone else who didn't take a plane)) walk along the roads before them a dark ebbing circular portal erupts about a foot away from each of their chests. Before you can really wonder what it is, you hear a crumbling and cracking from the pavement before you as a large tunnel made of human bones emerges from the earth sleepily, and a dark purple vortex swirls within. A large plaque held by a grinning skeleton atop the tunnel reads. "Enter the brave of you, and death to the rest." Should you walk towards it you hear a whisper so quiet it seems to only happen inside your head. The other end goes strait out of a bathroom stall in the airport that no one seems to notice even as you step out from it, everyone but what appears to be an empty suit with skeletal hands pointing to another suit like itself just outside the bathroom, that suit also pointing to yet another etc...
Each one seems to jump with glee at the sight of a Dæmonicus but again no normal patron even glances at them.((I realize your in different places, it's happening to both of you.... or all of you if I missed others. Also, the bathroom stalls change depending on gender. XD))
Welcome forsaken...
A short dark haired girl in full plate male waits at the airport's exit gate for each invited Dæmonicus, making you wonder -amongst other things- how the heck she got past security.
A high metal collar comes up from her slate-gray shoulder pads covering her entire neck, though your not sure why. She speaks in a stone cold, bored, drolling monotone. "Welcome new players, please follow the bone signs to your transportation outside."
((I took that test Victory... and I got Aeris! TT_TT Figures I'm the character they kill off.))

[victory]

Victoria gave the girl a strange look and was almost annoyed. She thought 'I am once again another pawn in another game' and sighed as she followed the skeleton signs.

ooc: i have goten multiple ones after i got yuna i have just been putting random stuff down i think i might have seen all of them by now...

[Elyon_Daine]

Lilane c☻cked her head to the side as she saw the short dark haired girl. She sighed knowing it had something to do with Dæmonicus. She walked into the bathroom and into the stall where she walked through the tunnel made of bones cautiously. She knew it wasnt going to be a safe journey.

[sasuke231]

Damion headed into the tunnel of human bones with each step looking around he slowly picked up pace and ran through the tunnel and game out the bathroom stall in shock 'What the hell was that?' he thought looking back into the stall.

[Coga]

Terrae smiled slightly. It seems he was going to get answers sooner then he expected. The tunnel sort of put him off, but he went with the flow of things up to the instructions. He was sure answers would come in time. He closed his eyes slightly and felt out his location. Still it Seattle it seemed, but far from the train station he had arrived at. It may take some time to get his things to him. Well in the mean time there was no point in standing around, and he had a feeling even if he asked any questions he wouldn't get any answers. He considered talking to the others there, the other Dæmonicus, but figured there would be a better time for that. He simply nodded slightly, with an almost unresponsive attitude, but it was more of a passive one, and fallowed outside to whatever this 'transportation' was. He hoped it was something land-based.

[katgurldiva]

Rose Sangue walked walked through the streets. She stepped of the train and looked around Seattle. Not someplace she would go to herself yet it was strangely familiar. She thought of the word her mother had told her and still she could hear the whispering.

{How do you do that with the Daemonicus?}

{{thank you.....}}

((Welcome to Dæmonicus Yuna! 'Love the character. Just post what happened to your character from the start either in character or out and we can pretend you were here the whole time. Or! If you prefer you can be a late-comer in the plot itself and show up as a character with a different introduction of some sort.

[victory]

Victoria sighed and poked one of the skeleton signs while one of the others was coming close. "what an ugly thing you are aren't you" Victoria mumbled to the skeleton.

[Yuna1012]

((Thanks umm....She fell into a lake then it got frozen over and a fairy saw her troubles and broke the ice and got her out and turned her into a fairy and since she was in ice for so long she gained ice powers....I think thats right i didnt really understand...><!))

[Picaresque]

((THat's good enough, just assume you are with the rest of the Dæmonicus please, if you have read up, and Kat? I just copy paste it, but it IS possible to do it with a ctr+numpad combination I just don't know it. On to your transportation. When I say 'you' in the next thing I refer to everyone playing and some of the flak I placed there for reasons you'll find out soon enough.))
With Victoria poking it, the skeleton sign holder finally seems to get fed up, leans in, and pokes a bony finger into her gut while the other hand rests on his hip, the sign dangling down his waste, and lets out an almost comical thick British accent from the center of it's rib-cage. "Well well well, I'd like to see you look so good at my age missy! Now jus' get to the ca' Victoria." And with that it silences and becomes as stiff as a statue, it's sign returning to place.
As all of you get instructed along complex pathways in the airport you notice nearly fifty Dæmonicus in total, some look very powerful and aware of the situation and others more confused than you. Along the path you feel strange, almost detached, and this feeling is only exacerbated by the fact that no normal human seems to be able to see you at all anymore. Finally the seemingly excessive journey to this "Transportation." comes to an end at carousel No. 7. Still no human even looks at No.7 their eyes passing casually from 6 to 8. One last Skeletal Sign Holder stands there, waiting for all Dæmonicus to get into range, and when they do it jumps with glee and bows, gesturing elaborately to the shiny, black plastic folds of carousel 7. It stays in that position until each Dæmonicus files through the small opening.
Coming out on the other end you all end up in a vast room with black paint spattering the walls. A brass column shaped like a skeletal finger appears every few feet along the wall arching up pointedly to the ceiling. It is in this room that you see that strangest limousine you've ever encountered in your life, if you can even call it that. It sits on four pairs of brass spider legs and lets a continuous jet of steam from each of it's four copper tailpipes. Gears and gizmos seem to work their way in and out of the contraption up a complete eight feet, which is about how high this four-decked bus of a limousine stands. Outside the back door stands the first living and headed skeleton you've probably ever seen, he wears the uniform of a Chófer, and he still retains a large shaggy gray mustache. A light British accent comes from this one as well, though his voice is much different and distinctly older. "Welcome masters and mistresses, welcome. Please enter one at a time, and don't worry about seating. He chortles in a cracking voice. "There's enough for everyone. All will be answered soon.... well not all but you know, some."

[Yuna1012]

((Ok what? Im so confused...Yunie is simpled minded...))

[Elyon_Daine]

Lilane walked into the limoscene like double decker and looked around. She had never been to a place like this. She'd never riden in something quite so elaborate. This was going to be diffrent this experience was. She knew it wasnt going to be quite normal at all.

[Coga]

Terrae shivered slightly. The aria around here felt strange, and distant from the ground, almost like being at the top of a large building. His feet moved around uneasily with the feeling of separation from his source as he boarded the odd vehicle. Too many possible enemies where around for him to be powerless. He took a seat near the back and then closed his eyes, trying to see how well he could commune with the earth from his present location. Years of close calls had told him that he couldn't trust even his own kind, so he remained on his guard the whole time.

[victory]

Victoria had apologized to the skeletal then hurried into the limoscene almost running Lilane over. "Oh I am sorry" Victroia saislightly embarrased.

[Yuna1012]

Hannah walked into the limo.
She sat down and looked out of the window..

[Elyon_Daine]

Lilane chuckled." Slow down there. Its okay." She said softly. She was still able to keep a soft demenor inside such a dark place that was obviously not normal earth.

[victory]

"Hello Im e...uh Victoria...and you are?" Victoria asked almost saying her old name

[Elyon_Daine]

Lilane chuckled." Hmm which name do you want?" She asked Victoria softly.

[victory]

"which ever is fine with you...Victoria for instance is my new name..i used to be called Eli-Eliz-Eliza-Elizab-Elizabeth"Victoria wondered why she had just had issues saying it

[Yuna1012]

Hannah looked at her..

[Elyon_Daine]

Lilane chuckled." Well my name used to be Lilane.. still havent gotten used to my new name.... its cassus-a-um cor-cordis-n " She said softly. It was quite a mouth full.

[Yuna1012]

"im Suavis Ultio..." hannah piped

[Coga]

Terrae glanced over at the girls. They seemed rather chatty. It was almost annoying, but kind of refreshing in a way. "Who you are and what your name is.. its an interesting way of phrasing a question which until applied to us has the same meaning. A name is only a reflection of what you address the world as, but our new names reflect what we have become." he said to no one in particular. He wondered if they even noticed him sitting in the back before he spoke up, not that it mattered much.

[Elyon_Daine]

Lilane lookedd over to a male who was sitting in the back. "Yes but thename iddentifies the person without the name we have no words to speak. With the new ones it invades one self preservation and lets others know the true you when you dont want them to." She said back almost immidiately. She didnt know why though. She just knew the words to speak back.

[sasuke231]

Damion satdown infront of the chattering people and sunk in his chair keeping his eyes from wandering too much."This place is pretty crowded I had no clue that there was this much Daemonicus..." Damion mumbled to himself

[Coga]

Terrae smiled a little as Lilane replied to him. She seemed to have just enough of a vocabulary for him to have a little fun. Like a hawk circling its pray, he locked onto a single part of her reply for his own. "The meaning of the name, like the meaning of words, is given by us, not the other way around. Alone, words have no meaning, no presence, they are simply sound waves. The body of the word is created by a joined consensus as to what those sounds represent in terms of the thoughts we wish to express, but people are giving the name more of a meaning then its holder these days" he said, a small smile in his voice, though not on his face. He doubted how much of his words any of them would understand, but he had been with only himself to converse with for so long it really didn't matter. Any comprehension of what he said from these others would be more then he would be expecting of them, and thus he could not be disappointed by there reaction.

[Elyon_Daine]

Lilane fought back a smirk as she looked at the male in theb ack speaking to her. She walked over to him and said." Naming is the process of assigning a particular word or phrase to a particular object or property. This can be quite deliberate or a natural process that occurs in the flow of life as some phenimenon comes to the attention of the users of a language.Besides their grammatical function, names can have additional or pure honorary and memorial values. " In a soft tone. Not as condescending as he was.

[Coga]

Terrae let out a very short chuckle. He was enjoying the dance he and this girl participated in, two individuals twisting around each other's ideas, but neither quite attacking the other. It was a most amusing clash. "And yet the meaning of a name is only as relevant as is the people's around it to perceive the true meaning. Form and power of an idea is only granted by the group acceptance of its truth. There is little point being the only sane person in a world of insanity, because then you are the one who is considered insane. That is how easily the truth of mortals is changed. he replied, leaning back in his seat.

[victory]

"..." Victoria sat there thinking"i am not quite sure what langauge the names are......maybe i shouldhave takin spainish or german...." Victoria mumbled the last part

[Picaresque]

Out of the shadows of one of the various rowed seats leaned Atra.
He spoke with a very quiet voice but it was so filled with power and hatred it seemed like the only thing to hear. "It's Latin, and one more thing. Shut..... up." With that most sound in the Limo seemed to die, as if some spell came over the Dæmonicus and made them silent. ((Sorry! >.< He's kinda a jerk until you befriend him and I'll let you choose if his voice works on you, it would require a lot of willpower to resist normally but it does no harm and only lasts a few seconds.))

[Yuna1012]

"well that was......weird...." Hannah said "but what did we do to you?" she asked the jerk

[Picaresque]

Jared looks up at her, he seems to be in shock. He's never had to speak to some one after that. His voice cracks, he sounds nervous and even a little scared of Hannah, and you can hear a tinge of that little boy he used to be. "I-I... uh, nothing... He looks to the left, avoiding her stare, blushing.
His response is quiet, suppressed, and embarrassed. "...Sorry."

[Yuna1012]

Hannah giggled behind the fan she held. She got up and sat next to him. "you alright?" she asked "are you hot? your face is red" she held up her fan.

[Picaresque]

Atra flushes like a beat, and hits his head on the car wall as you sit next to him. He grabs his head and looks to you kinda frantic. "Ouch! Hey I said I was sorry!"
He braces for a moment then looks up to you... "Wait... your not going to fight me?"
He snorts. "Jees, I got all worked up for nothing."

[Yuna1012]

She touched his hand.
"No...im not going to fight you..."

[Picaresque]

Jared looked into her eyes a moment, sizing up his surroundings. "I'm Atra Letum... People just call me Atra or Oh god it's you, run!..." He paused a moment, before continuing with a bit more ease, letting words out after not talking for so long. Both decks of the car resume their general chatter, and it began moving. "What's your name?"

[victory]

Victoria came over and sat by them curiously

[Yuna1012]

Jared looked into her eyes a moment, sizing up his surroundings. "I'm Atra Letum... People just call me Atra or Oh god it's you, run!..." He paused a moment, before continuing with a bit more ease, letting words out after not talking for so long. Both decks of the car resume their general chatter, and it began moving. "What's your name?"
"im Suavis Ultio....people think im a freak...." she hid behind her fan.

[Elyon_Daine]

Out of the shadows of one of the various rowed seats leaned Atra.
He spoke with a very quiet voice but it was so filled with power and hatred it seemed like the only thing to hear. "It's Latin, and one more thing. Shut..... up." With that most sound in the Limo seemed to die, as if some spell came over the Dæmonicus and made them silent. ((Sorry! >.< He's kinda a jerk until you befriend him and I'll let you choose if his voice works on you, it would require a lot of willpower to resist normally but it does no harm and only lasts a few seconds.))

Lilane sighed." Lets hold this conversation for a moment. " She said to the male she had been exchanging words with. She stood up straight and walked over to Atra." Hmm and if i dont choose to silence myself. What then?" She said in a serious tone.

[Coga]

Terrae looked over to the boy curiously. He was strong, he could tell by the forced silence to the entire car, but he also seemed uncomfortably awkward around people once he was no longer offensive. The way he talks.. its the same as us he thought to himself. He chose to stay silent and observe the boy and those who interacted with him.

[sasuke231]

Damion held his breath for a moment when he heard the voice and let out a deep sigh looking at the male who made almost the whole car quite. 'These Daemonicus are getting more frightning by the handful.' he thought looking from the male out of the window a bit shaken.

[Picaresque]

Lilane sighed." Lets hold this conversation for a moment. " She said to the male she had been exchanging words with. She stood up straight and walked over to Atra." Hmm and if i dont choose to silence myself. What then?" She said in a serious tone.
Atra looks up to her, then over to Suavis, then back up to Lilane. As if wondering if he were being tested. "Welll... Then this." He holds his hand up and a black distortion of energy blasts towards you. You can feel it try to get into your bones and just rip them apart, but an even greater force nullifies this. Atra looks at you surprised, then looks down to hand. "...Nothing.... Then nothing..." He turns his head away from her.
A hazy green image of the Chofer lowers and he laughs lightly, in a kind way. "Apologies young masters and mistresses, but there will be no fighting during the ride." Atra turns to Suavis at her comment. "We're all kind of freaks now aren't we?"

[Coga]

Terrae nodded to himself. He really is just like us he decided. He had observed enough of this person to assume that was so, but even still, he wouldn't mention anything. A conversation like that was not something Terrae wanted to do with so many people overhearing it, though it was pleasant to find two different kindred spirits in such a shot amount of time. However, with so many people around, an added feeling of uneasiness settled in as well. Terrae leaned farther back into his seat, not wishing to draw any more unnecessary attention to himself

[Elyon_Daine]

Lilane snickered." Even if Suavis didnt interfer that wouldnt have done a thing to me." She said. She had felt the black like smoke inside her but thats it. Nothing had happened. It felt like nothin at all. She walked over to Terrae." Now where were we." She said smirking. She took a deep breathe." Care must be taken in translation, for there are ways that one language may prefer one type of name over another. For example, there are "merchants' and sailors' terms" for their own convenience: the spellings Leghorn, Genoa, and Rome do not appear on Italian maps. Also, a feudal naming habit is used sometimes in other languages: the French often refer to Aristotle as "le Stagirite" from one spelling of his place of birth, and English speakers often refer to Shakespeare as "The Bard", recognizing him as a paragon writer of the language. Finally, claims to preference or authority can be refuted: the British did not refer to Louis-Napoleon as Napoleon III during his rule. the ancient world, particularly in the ancient Israel / Palestine, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia names were thought to be extremely powerful and to act, in some ways, as a separate manifestation of a person or deity.This viewpoint is responsible both for the reluctance to use the proper name of God in Hebrew writing or speech, as well as the common understanding in ancient magic that magical rituals had to be carried out "in someone's name". By invoking a god or spirit by name, one was thought to be able to summon that spirit's power for some kind of miracle or magic. This understanding passed into later religious tradition, for example the stipulation in Catholic exorcism that the demon cannot be expelled until the exorcist has forced it to give up its name, at which point the name may be used in a stern command which will drive the demon away. Traditionally, insanity or madness is the behaviour whereby a person flouts societal norms and may become a danger to himself and others. Greek tragedies and Shakespeare often refer to madness in this sense. Psychologically, it is a general, popular and legal term defining behaviour influenced by mental instability. In modern usage, it is most commonly encountered as an informal, unscientific term, or in the narrow legal context of the insanity defense. In the medical profession the term is now avoided in favour of more specific diagnoses of mental illness such as schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. When discussing mental illness in general terms, "psychopathology" is also considered a preferred descriptor." She said as she looked at him just waiting.

(( sorry i couldnt help myself xD ))

[victory]

Victoria looked at lilane and her eye twitched. "......uhhhhhh."

[Coga]

Terrae recoiled for a moment at one of the words she said close to the end of the explanation, but quickly regained his composure. He chuckled just a tad to put himself back into center. "But most of that is something to the line of a human definition. You explained a history of meaning, and how they differ, only to farther prove my point that words only have a meaning or a form around those that truly understand it. When I say a word, lets say 'rock' for example, it has no meaning unless someone who is hearing it understands what I am referring too. If I say rock, but someone else thinks I am saying tree then the word I said means tree and not rock, despite what the intention was, unless more people think it means rock or I can clarify things." he said, then glanced around to make sure no one was listening in on the conversation, not that he could tell really anyway. He was about to say something he didn't really feel like he could say around just anyone, but this person seemed to understand enough. "But truly, if the meaning of what your trying to say is strong enough then it can create a reaction comply by intension. If there is a strong enough belief in something, then not just in the realm of the humani but in the outer realm, it becomes reality. This is where magic and spells gain there power, threw a true link of intension and thr- He stopped himself mid sentence, turned a bright red, and turned away. He realized he had become way to relaxed and informal with this girl, and allowed himself to speak fully openly, using words he shouldn't have used around people who didn't know. He knew she was a Dæmonicus like he was, but he didn't know exactly how much she knew about the other world that they started to tap into. A small wall of dust started to swirl around him, a subconscious reaction when he embarrassed himself or made a mistake.

[Elyon_Daine]

Lilane chuckled and sat next to him." Go on im intreiged by your opinions." She said smiling. She thought this was a wonderful conversation. One of the best she has had in her lifetime.. well at least past lifetime. SHe hadnt spoken to anyone since her name changed and was instructed to go to Seatle for Dæmonicus.

[Coga]

Terrae did not turn back. He stayed, slightly huddled, muttering to himself in an undertone. At her proximity, she could only make out that it seemed he was holding two sides of the same conversation with himself in two different tones of voice. He stayed like this for almost a minute before snapping back to his former self. He took a deep breath to recompose himself and then settled the dust he had collected and dispersed it. "When your ally is the dirt, then as long as there are humani you will find a weapon" he muttered, a bit louder then he had been, then turned to her as if he had just walked back into the room after having to leave for a small interruption. "My appologies for that little outburst, now, where was I?". Terrae wasn't sure what it was, but something about her seemed to help them calm down faster then they normally did. ... maybe.. because she keeps reminding us of Nee-san he thought to himself.

[Elyon_Daine]

Lilane smiled." Your were speaking of a true link of intention through something." She said softly. She was actually listening to the intelligent words he had been speaking.

[Coga]

Terrae nodded and lead back in his seat, fixing the small mettle plate that hid his eyes. "Yeah, thats right he said shortly as he reformed his train of thought. "Intension in the perception of humans is meaningless, and all that matters is results, those are the points I've attempted to make earlier in this conversation. However, when dealing with forces more sophisticated then the humani, the actual intention has the ability to take form and cause a reaction." he said, then stopped for a moment and thought. "When I say humani, I am referring to humans. Its a term I have taken to use in my conversing with creatures other then humans" he explained, feeling the necessity to, even though she would have probably figured it out by then.

[Elyon_Daine]

Lilane nodded ."yes i know. I often find myself using that word after a long moment of eplinations. Humani the more sophisticated for of the word human. But it seems even your words are useless if you explain in the term you do. For apparently even if you are explaining this to me. It would seem in your mind i do not udnerstand them." She said trying to tell him the meaning of his own words." Would it not?" She said softly. She had really given this some thought.

[Coga]

Terrae smiled a little, a noticeable change in his expression. She really was a higher creature like himself, and not one of the normal human creatures he was forced to interact with since his rebirth. "I only explained it because I felt like it. I had a feeling you, of all people, understood." he said, a note of appreciation for the higher quality of company she provided. "And yes, with anyone else my words would be utterly useless, however, the joint understanding of the meaning of my words gives them form. The fact that I have someone intelligent to speak with, who is actually capable of understanding the meaning behind the sounds that are made in an attempt to communicate, creates the success in communications and authenticates the ideas that pass from one to another he replied. The nuanced compliments were not usually his style, but it was the least he could offer to this girl for the conversation.

[Elyon_Daine]

Lilanesmiled." That was enjoyable." She said softly.

[Coga]

Tarrae nodded. "Indeed it was. Oh right, we forgot introductions didn't we. We have chosen the name of Tarrae for our new title." he said, remembering he never told her his new name. He hoped she wasn't put off by the plural personal addressing, he didn't expect her to not notice it, but he really didn't want to explain it.

[Yuna1012]

She thought for a moment..
"I suppose that makes us kinda like....a family.." she finshed

[Elyon_Daine]

Tarrae nodded. "Indeed it was. Oh right, we forgot introductions didn't we. We have chosen the name of Tarrae for our new title." he said, remembering he never told her his new name. He hoped she wasn't put off by the plural personal addressing, he didn't expect her to not notice it, but he really didn't want to explain it.

Lilane chuckled." Yes i am now called cassus-a-um cor-cordis-n ... kind of long i know but i cant argue." She said softly. She had noticed he used a plural word but she didnt want to asked him unnessicary things. It did make her wonder." I see you refer to yourself as plural. Im guessing you have a split personality then." She presumed gently.

[Coga]

Tarrae turned a little red and pushed the mettle plate covering his eyes a little farther up. He nodded slightly, to answer her question, but only in a way that she, the one who asked it and way mid conversation with him would get as an answer, most other people watching would probably assume he was bobbing his head a tad while he thought. He didn't want to leave her hanging without an answer, that would be rude, but he didn't want to talk about it with so many people around. And so, he delightfully redirected the conversation. "Your name is a little hard to use in informal conversation, though it is a fine one. Is there anything a little shorter we might call you by?" he inquired.

[Yuna1012]

Hannah giggled from behind her fan...
he was so formal..his vocabulary and word uasge was amazimg

[Elyon_Daine]

Lilane smiled softly." Yes it rather is isnt it. Well you can always call me my human name. Lilane." She said smiling. She really hadnt moved from the position she had been in before.

[Coga]

Tarrae sighed slightly. He didn't want to call her by her human name, though he was flattered that she offered that to him. It just didn't seem appropriate, since he wasn't talking to who she was, but who she is now, and that licensed a different name. He thought for a moment over her name and finally came up with something he thought was good. "Would it be alright if we called you Cordis" he asked, picking out the piece of her name he thought sounded best as its own name.

[victory]

Victoria moved into a small spot not really in veiw and closed her eyes and thought deeply. In her mind's eye she saw Alexander and she then thought. 'I have a question....' He replied so only she heard due to the fact he was transmitting himself into her mind. 'What is it?' 'What does Victoria Umbra mean in Latin?' He smirked. 'Victory Shadow.' Victoria then opened her eyes with a very confused expression.

[victory]

ooc: Did this die?

[Coga]

((It may have. I can go find Pic if you want to try to get it running again))

[victory]

ooc: No need I was meerly curious...

[Coga]

(( Well I know Pic has been busy and just probably forgot about the sight between classes and projects and what nots. I could drop a reminder if I knew anyone was still interested ))
