Ouroboros 5 posts = 1PP + 1 ref PP Tail of Gold (IC): 5 Posts -
"Awww you think I'm pretty!" Ouroboros teased sarcastically and shook his head at the carnage around them. "Messy amatures." he murmured under his breath and moved to follow Aquaria a shadowy nimbus enveloping him as he descended slowing and controlling his fall and letting him hover just over the ground when he reached the bottom. Limned in the shadows he'd summoned Ouroboros frowned at the statues, "Time flows differently in many realms, but it is not so static nor deterministic as prophecy would have one believe." the dhampir suggested with a frown, "Not good likenesses regardless." He drifted toward the statues on guard and ready, "Mind games or trap our only way is forward and continue to be warrey."

Ouroboros nose wrinkled in disgust at the scene before them as the wards were overcome by their combined efforts. "They were proficient enough to all up whatever did this, do not mistake fanaticism for incompetence." the dhampir countered as he began to gingerly pick his way past the carnage. "We'll need to be on guard for other cultists as well as whatever did this, it is not impossible those with more strength used these as bait or sacrifice to appease whatever did this." The stench of blood and viscera was thick even to normal senses and he was grateful that portion of his fathers heritage had thus far at least skipped him. He nodded agreement with Salvo, "Right keep moving, this is already more time in this place than we should like to have spent."

So Ouroboros can muster a +15 on a counter check using his magic array as the base countering effect. roll if it ends up being needed We want to do teamwork? Not sure if we can Take 10/20 on this but might be worth it if we can.

Ouroboros was about to suggest a more subtle approach might be in order. Of course as Salvo had said time was of the essence and it seemed Aquaria had made that point moot. He He sighed and offered a shrug to the battle suited heroines, "As you say time is of the essence." He agreed and followed through the portal to the gateway of hte temple itself. He carefully examined the structure both mundane firmamenta nd the arcane underpinnings with a keen eye. "Heavily warded." he offered frankly, "Can be unwoven but may take time." He let his gaze sweep across the surface once more and raised a brow at Aquaria's revelation. "Sacrifice perhaps?" he inquired and shrugged, "No matter we must get in." The young Dhampir pointed to the bastions high above, "If they notice we'll be quite exposed and will need some cover." he suggested looking to the group then Salvo in particular, "You got anything to Crack wards like this or are we doing it the old fashioned way?" he asked with a smile and laid a hand veiled in shadow on the wall as he began the process of diffusing the wards.

"You practice that one in the mirror?" Ouroboros asked with toothy grin and swept a hand out over the expanse before them. "More relevantly it is here that the entity these cultists called upon dwells." he explained more succinctly. "All the freaks come out on Hollows Eve." He answered Justice with a belabored sigh. "It's probably the second worse thing about the holiday after the bigotry and appropriation." By which he meant the monster costumes and horror themes overall. He nodded agreement with Aquaria and gestured to himself, "I am the Chosen of Heshem it falls to me to ensure incursions of extra-dimensional power such as these are thwarted." he explained further and examined Justice for a long moment flicking a glance to Salvo and back, "Not your work, far to unassuming." he opined and seemed to be looking through Justice for a moment, "Hmmm interesting." he shook off whatever distraction had seized him however murmuring to himself, "Another time." and pointed to the temple. "As Aquaria," he paused and raised a brow at his companion, "Or do you prefer Sea Devil?" he clarified before continuing, "As she has said Vhoka styles himself a devouring god." he seemed thoroughly unimpressed, "We approach him in his home which is not without risk but it is necessary if we are to correct the works his followers have wrought." he turned to head toward the temple on silent feet, "Take care and be ready."

"You were in luck he knew even that much." Ouroboros sneered at the unconscious cultist in disdain. Letting out a sigh he was about to step down the path when he paused with a confused frown and pulled a cell phone from his pocket where it softly vibrated, "Or perhaps not only ourselves..." he mused as he answered and rolled his eyes at the manic energy from the other end of the line. "I'm older than you are you know." he pointed out in reply to her chosen moniker, "Probably." his exact age was something of a question given his nature after all. He however let that much slide, "The Master Mage is seeing to it none of the actual victims of lycanthropy are caught up in the response to this pale imitation." he explained succinctly, "So it would fall to me to attend to all of this." he glanced to Aquaria and slowly nodded, "But you are in luck, we could always use some backup." he admitted reluctantly wisps of inky void seeped into the phone as he tracked her location. The words were only half out of Justices mouth when the air sliced open not unlike a portal to z-space and for a moment the endless starfield of the void was revealed before the portal was completed and through the shadowed veil the realm of Vhoka was revealed with Ouroboros and Aquiaria on the other side. "I would hazard he'll bring you immediately." the guardian of the hidden ways replied with a beckoning gesture. "Make sure you have double A's or whatever that thing takes and lets go." he smirked to Salvo as he held the portal for them.

For one such as Ouroboros passing to the realm of Vhoka was much like taking a step. Finding it, or even knowing to look for it, had been considerably more time consuming. The rite to trace the magic to their source lingered still around him heavy and almost palpable to those versed in such things. His arrival was presaged by nothing more than the slight puff of displaced air as he suddenly came to the place standing a few feet away from Aquaria. His eyes followed her gaze to the temple itself and he nodded agreement with her unspoken concerns. "Aquaria In His Mouth, it is good to find even unexpected allies in the lair of being such as this." he intoned deeply, he jammed his hands intot he pockets of the dark trench coat he favored and watched the temple, "Don't suppose you bring others to this cause?" he asked with a sigh. Facing a near god in it's home was not how he had hoped to spend his night but there was an incursion and he see it halted. Even if it were just himself and the unusual deep one.

recruitment NIGHT OF THE WOLVES (threads)
angrydurf replied to Avenger Assembled's topic in Archives
I'd like to bring Ouroboros in for #3 big mystic thread. -
Utsuwa nodded with surprise at the revelation of Micahs origins, the boy did not match his internal image of the state which briefly registered on his features before the more outlandish claims from Pan quickly overwhelmed the surprise. "Well I suppose it's natural that a school like this would see a lot of that with all that goes on in the city." he acknowledged with a shrug. He looked at Pan for a long moment then deadpanned his reply. "Nothing so spectacular, the usual raised by a murderous cult of assassins to be the vessel of their fallen leader." he glanced to Micah with a small grin, "This is my year abroad." playing off the mostly true story as a joke.

The question was nearly lost in a wail of sirens as several FCPD cruisers sped past enroute to some nearby crisis. It had to be close as moments later people were rushing past outside in the opposite direction as the police began to establish a cordon around an art gallery a couple blocks away. The teens could overhear the crowd talking about some kind of terrorists or possibly hostages as they fled the scene but it was so garbled as to leave it very unclear if there was an ongoing threat or just a rescue operation underway.

Alder and I are without power due to wind and corporate incompetence. Potentially through the weekend. Might be around here amd ther via phone but probably no posting for a lil bit

"I was under the impression we were here so no one gets hurt when we don't" Utsuwa suggested with a shrug. "Perhaps I got a different version of the introductory speech however." It certainly would make sense if the headmistress was more worried about what he might do to students in a normal school than with training him to be some kind of hero. Blinking at his roomate the fit teen shook his head and glanced to Natalia, "It is impressive" He agreed. The level of sheer enthusiasm for life the more animated students seemed to share was quite the sight to behold concentrated in one small dorm room. "Hopefully not more than we can get them out of." he replied with a laugh. He at least had taken the roomate assignment to be roughly equivalent to babysitting an excitable toddler with laser robots for pets. He might have had a slightly overdeveloped sense of responsibility.

"There are ample holds and features for climbing without adding more." Utsuwa suggested with a shrug. "Though I imagine those are designed to guide students into surveillance zones so an alternative may be prudent if one wishes to escape without the headmistress knowledge." he paused weighing that option and smirked, "Success in that seems unlikely however." It was a fair appraisal only using a bit of his personal knowledge of the Ms. Summers background. "If secrecy is the goal you may want to cover up identifying features in costume." he lazily recommended in response to Natalia with just a hint of a smile, "I'm sure Ryder could offer some goggle designs to go with your look." Her last comment however seemed to catch the handsome teen off guard and he glanced at Ryder to gauge his reaction before shaking his head with a laugh he was unable to stifle. "I'm flattered but that line of thought will only lead to disappointment I assure you." He waved a hand Ryders direction, "And unless this wholesome snack thing is all an act I think his goal was easy access to the ground floor without needing to bypass the doors after curfew."

"Oh that was absolutely his goal." utsuwa agreed with Nat and glanced at Ryder with a small smile, "The tattoos are just his 'in' you see." he teased playfully, "that and not being American, though." he paused as he tried to focus on something other than the raging spirit in the corner. "Ah if memory serves you would be on your grandfathers side." he nodded to Tori, that would be before his grandfather had killed hers. He was getting more of her genealogy bellowed at him than anyone really needed but so far weathering it with aplomb and even pushing back a bit, "Rumor had it her powers didn't carry on glad to hear they did." "Hedge maze? You side line in topiaries?" he asked with a raised brow.
-
Utsuwa looked between Ryder and Natalia and smirked, "I can't image that sort of thing is so uncommon here of all places." he suggested with a shrug and when invited stepped in staring down at the foxes and bots playfully romping a small smile creeping to his features despite himself. When Toris tattoos flared with power his gaze swept to an empty corner of the room and he ever so lightly winced at the bellowed outrage from his grandfathers spirit. He quickly recovered and slunk into a chair, "So he has told me." The fit teen acknowledged teasing his roomate lightly. "Both, I trained in traditional tachijutsu in -" he paused uncomfortably, "My home town." he gestured to the tattoos on his arms, "These mean I'm never disarmed at least." to those sensitive to such things the traditional japanese tattoos on each forearm carried a dark power. "A family tradition of sorts." As he spoke he studiously avoided looking in the direction of his grandfathers ghostly presence in the corner.

"I have been in the country long enough you can get nothing small here." Utsuwa replied with a small laugh, "Alright if not embarrass then I'll endeavor not to upset your friends." he offered instead. He was hanging back from Ryder when the door opened and shut and he raised a brow at his roommate, "Or perhaps I am too late for that." He crossed his arms across his chest, the tattoos of his birthright brazenly displayed as he leaned against the door frame and waited as muffled voices were heard inside. The dark tank and loose athletic wear below were unbranded and generic but seemed to pass for casual for the youth. Ryders peek in Utsuwas wardrobe had revealed a three matches to the outfit as well as a version with long sleeve fitted top or shorts and a small collection of black turtlenecks and cargo pants. When the door reopened he waved at the 'Ryders friend' greeting following Ryder's lead on whether to enter or not at the chilly initial reception. He ran a hair through his hair and flashed Tori a smile as he caught sight of her snaking markings, "You must be Tori." He glanced at the foxes, "And those must be the keening we hear at night." he joked lightly. The noise wasn't a bother for him. He was well practiced at filtering his senses and sleeping regardless of interruption.
-
Utsuwa narrowed his eyes at the explanation from Ryder, "I think you may overestimate my knowledge and interest in magic." he pointed out with a smirk, "If they showed up because magic they are effectively magic." he answered simply and laughed slightly, "Which is probably good because full body ink would be no joke." The dour student rolled his eyes and followed along his roomates enthusiasm was charmingly infectious really. "Yes out of the country is so uniform we'll have so much to talk about like being able to get small servings and not taking leftovers home in a bag." He sighed, "I'll be on my best behavior and not embarrass you." he promised as they waited at the door.
-
"Yes, Roommates." Utsuwa agreed with nod as he withdrew a bit in the face of the crowds of family helping the other students with move in. Having moved in early offered some excuse but he didn't really have good answers for why he was on his own. "I've not met any Tori," he admitted with a shrug, "certainly not anyone so, ah, memorable." He eyed Ryder for a moment and inquired quietly when they were both in the room out of clear earshot of the families, "full body?" curiously testing the waters if his roomate already had found, companionship. The moment was quickly over however as Micah spoke up about cookies and Utsuwa started to make his way across the hall, "You want any?" he asked Ryder who had his hands full with both supplies and family. He watched the robugs line up with a bemused smile, "I don't scare that easily." he assured Ryder and accepted the smoothie thrust his direction more reflexively than with intention. He took a sip and looked down at the drink in hand, "very sweet." he noted seemingly surprised, "But not too sweet." he took another sip and nodded with satisfaction distracted it seemed from the other offer of food at least for the moment. "Not local then?" he asked Micah with a raised brow and nod to the commentary about red dirt fields. "I guess a school like this must recruit from all over." which was an odd thing perhaps for the clearly foreign student to only now be picking up on. "Not I" He added off hand to Benny, "Host family moved me in early, they uh, had to work today." Which was technically correct the best kind of correct.
