The Warped

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Mahi didn't like the idea of being carried and she expressed that while she was hanging over Kiral's shoulder. "I could have ran, you know. All I needed was to be led." She grumbled. As they were outside the cave, she listened to the bears growling. When she was finally set on her feet again, she indeed happier. Her ears were tuned into Kiral's movements so she followed where he walked. When the gauntlets landed in her hands, she listened to Filadius' description of them then felt them over carefully with her hands, being sure not to cut herself. As she listened to the description of everyone else's weapons, she slid the gauntlets onto her hands and wiggled her fingers. She tested out the diamond weighted wires, carefully extending them out toward the ground then retracting them back in all with her mind. She liked hearing how everyone's weapons were unique to their work abilities and she felt like her weapons suited her perfectly. "Thank you..." She said softly as her clouded over green eyes were directed down at the gauntlets on her hands, not even sure whether the old man would still able to hear her.

*Being rather dumbfounded still, the wolf dragon picked up the hammer and the snitch not really knowing what to say or do in response* "Uhh... thanks Filadius, but before I get excited about these weapons... our agenda is to simply make this dark wizard guy fall to fatal circumstance by teaming up with six strangers while avoiding these mysterious patrols previously hired arms of your own and trying to figure out how to find this dark wizard?" And.... what is Captain America, some sort of actor?" *A confused White turned to the other party members looking for help upon that question* "Man I hope we get back home exactly when we left, those clients are gonna be pissed if I don't get back home on time.. I know I shouldn't be worrying about that right now, but dad wouldn't want me to fail customers. Hmm... okay so in a sense Filadus is another customer, I'll just do as he asks and worry about the other guys later."

Mortis face-palmed at the wolf hybrid. "Captain America is a comic book character..." She shook her head as if disappointed with the group, as if their knowledge of comic books was the sole judgment on the characters. Her disappointment was only temporary, though, as she looked at the book and pen in her hands with a certain amount of disbelief. She flipped through the pages, already starting to estimate the amount of pages she had, somewhat afraid to draw in it because she was afraid of wasting it. I guess it's a good thing I like to work with ink. Otherwise I'd be screwed since it's such an unforgiving medium. I'm still no hero, though... "Thanks." She said, having an overwhelming feeling that the old man had still made a mistake by choosing her.

Constance managed to keep up, though since Kiral had a head start she did tail behind. When she got to the bears she wanted to go up and pet them. However they allowed them to pass. But she did pet them as she went by. Once the spectacle with the chests began she was in disbelief once more. When her weapon landed in her hand she examined it while she listened to Filadius. "T-...Thank you..." She continued to examine it, not sure what else to do with it. She listened to the explanation of the others' weapons as well.

Macid shielded himself from the dirt that the wolf threw at him. "Ok ok I'm coming, jesus." He got up and jogged to catch up with the rest of the group. When they reached the cave, Macid was frightened by the bears guarding it. Those fears dissapated once the wolf pinched the gem and moved aside, letting them inside. As the spectacle of lights began, Macid was amazed at all the items the strangers were getting. As the light came to him, he felt something materialise, for lack of a better word, around his finger. As he looked and toyed with this finger ring, he noticed the tip was like a fountain pen. He then felt something else materialise in his left hand, a book. As he listened to the wizards explanation, he found himself growing curious about how loudly he had to ask someone's name or how close he had to be for it to work. "Th-thank you." He said quietly.

Max followed the group quietly, getting distracted by the bears, the bears growling at him and him hissing quietly at them, till they continued to the door. Once inside he was amazed at the room and its massed contence. Once the chests began to open he became more interested and watched closely as the others received their gifts. When the light landed in his hands his body started to get pins & needles. Once his weapons formed he examined Ramsey carefully before sliding the large blade into its holster on his back and pulling out one of the smaller knifes. “Thank you old man, I’ll have fun with these.” He commented twirling the smallest knife in his hands, occasionally throwing it up and catching it by the side of the blade.

The old man then spoke up after giving the new heroes time to examine and learn about their weapons, "Now if you will all turn your attention to the wall behind the chests, you'll notice a map of the continent. I have your current location marked with the red needle on the bottom left of the map. And the blue marker on the top right is the location of the castle where the previous 'Heroes' currently reside. In this time period, all the continents of the world are conjoined into one land mass. Be careful on your journey, though. There are some who do not see their rule as tyranny, but as a godsend. There are patrols all over the place, always constantly sniffing out potential rebellions, and wanting to snuff them out before they have a chance to even manifest. I'm sorry, but I'm running dry on magic at the moment, I'll try to contact you again tomor-" The voice stopped and the gem just laid dormant. Kiral sighed and placed it in his pocket, looking up at the map on the wall, there was just something off about the old man's voice, but he was sure that no one else noticed, so he kept it to himself. He swung the sword and placed it into its holster that hung at his hip. Taking a step on top of one of the chests, Kiral took the frame down and removed the map from it. "Looks like we're out on a hunt. Anyone want to test out their weapons on the local patrols? It's going to be a long walk, we might as well try to get better at using these."

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Mahi listened to the old man but he didn't really seem normal to her since her sense of hearing was very heightened, but she shrugged it off as an effect of being talked to through a magic-imbued gem. "I think the real test is whether I can actually kill another or not..." She mumbled, mainly to herself but the others would have been able to hear it. With her mind, she extended the blades in both of the gauntlets simultaneously then retracted them. "But I guess if my life's in danger I could do it."

[White Wolf Guardian]

*White studied the hammer and snitch in his hands now that he wasn't really thinking about the current situation anymore* "Huh I wonder if Filadius was serious about how much this thing weighs, maybe I could test it on... this pebble." *He carefully laid it down on the small rock and it collapsed rather quickly* "Man this thing must weight about as much as a small car, and now what about this shield..." *The wolf dragon looked up noticing the others around him* "Well I don't really want to risk hitting one of the other party members, I never exactly practiced with boomerangs at home, so I don't know how it's going to work." *He looked towards the one whom Filadius called Kiral upon the mention of the patrols*

[Goblin Cat 😸]

"Uhmm. Sure.. If.." She looked at her papers again with the pen. "If I can get someone to get my back.. I'm not even sure what I'm doing.." She looked around her eyes averting in any direction they could. She tapped her pen anxiously on her book. Her tail curled around her ankle, waiting to see how the others reacted, or if anyone would take her back, so to speak while she was drawing. She wondered if she could even draw given how anxious she was feeling.

[Srgntcuddles]

"...I'm Constance. I think that would be a good place to start. At least before we go off...Killing others...I mean...I don't know...I'm sure these people...Erm...Patrols...Are people just doing their jobs. I don't know about you all...But killing people so thoughtlessly...I don't know...The old man...Filadius...Just...Turns into this all powerful magician and flings us back in time." said Constance sounding a bit nervous. She didn't say anything after that. She just idly looked at her dirk trying to avoid the looks she was likely getting. She heard what Mortis had said, asking if someone would get her back. She wanted to say something but didn't. She didn't know how to fight, or use her new powers.

Macid gripped his wrist as Kiral talked about killing the patrols. He had had his time thinking of pain and suffering. He didn't want to be apart of any more pain, but with everyone else having actual weapons, he didn't feel like he had much of a choice. At least he could stop himself from hurting himself or others. He sighed as he looked back at Kiral. He seemed pretty ok about everything that had happened, like he knew it was going to happen. When Constance spoke, he could sense the nervousness in her voice, mostly because he too was nervous about all this. "Macid. I'm Macid." He was now rubbing his wrists and staring at the floor. "I agree with Constance. We shouldn't just start killing people."

[serpington]

"ok, so how about we make a point of not killing unless necicary.....i just hope no one tries to block..." he said carving away layers of metal from what looked like a paper weight. "and i'll do my best to protect you if you want." he smiled at the nervous artist. "seeing as i'm one of our offencive members." he looked at the map carefully and spoted a nearby town les than a few hours travel away and pointed it out. "this place looks like a place to start....might not be a good blace but it's the closest."

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Kiral looked at Mahi and then the others, "Well, it seems that they'll kill whomever is out of place. Look at our clothes, they'll know we're not from around this time, and try to kill us. I mean, look at some of our weapons, too. They're not of this world, some of them. I don't want to have to kill anyone, either, but if it's as dangerous as the old geezer says, then we have no choice. Anyways, we'll have to head to the first town for supplies. We have no food with us, save our drinks." Kiral patted his pocket with the bulge of the bourbon bottle.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Mahi listened to the others, picking out their voices and connecting them with the names that Filadius had said while the weapons were passed out. When Kiral mentioned their drinks, she patted herself down in her sweatpants and t-shirt. "Uh...I don't have mine. My can was already open so if it came with me, it probably spilled when we landed anyway." She said, lowering her head so it seemed like her clouded-over green eyes were looking at the ground. "But I'm ready to go anyway."
