This is the OOC thread for the upcoming plot between Judy Hopps and Lord Dominator, called Disappeared.




--



Synopsis: When secondaries begin going missing, Judy immediately gets to work trying to find them. Of course, this isn't easy, because she's going up against an experienced villain, who is also quite good at sudden musical numbers.




Discuss freely down below. This should be starting in about a week if all goes well.

To say that Dominator was in a bad mood would be accurate, but would also underestimate the level of frustration currently being experienced by the green-skinned woman. It had taken her days to find the gate back to this place, and once she emerged from the smouldering circle, what was her reward? Yet more walking. 

Squaring her shoulders, she pointed herself in the direction of the Tangled Green gate, and strode towards it with a single-minded determination. Eyes staring straight ahead, hands clenched into fists at her side. Every footstep was a heavy, determined stomp against the floor. She needed to go and have this meeting - she'd promised that she would - and once that obligation was fulfilled... she really, really needed to settle herself down somewhere comfortable and treat herself. 

Two weeks, and she felt like she was only barely starting to scratch the surface of what she needed to do to get out of this flarbing prison! Still... at least this time in the Nexus she moved with determination, certainty, and purpose. 

Wisely, it did not immediately seem like anyone else was going to try and get in her way. This time, she was determined not to let herself get distracted.

For the last stretch of water from the Pokemon territory of the Vasty Deep to Costa del Sol, Blink had found her way onto a friendly ship that was heading out of the verse. Teleportation could only her so far, and only a certain length. It was dangerous to rely on it solely for transportation, especially in the dangerous waters of the Vasty Deep. She stood on the forecastle of the wooden ship, watching the docks of Costa Del Sol get closer and closer with each passing second. She was left reflecting on the adventure she just had - her first one in the Omniverse outside of Dante's Abyss.

She had heard an announcement on the Dataverse about a superhero group forming called the Avengers. Her curiosity got the better of her and she opted to investigate. She met four new faces, leaving her a mixture of opinions from 'Respect' to 'Disappointed.' In the end, through some poor decisions on her part and some negative opinions of some of the teammates, Blink had finished her role in the mission and went off on her own. After all, she had her own personal missions to complete. She made a commitment to someone to get something done, and that was the real reason she was here, in the Vasty Deep.

As the ship got close enough to the docks for her to make the jump, Blink teleported from the forward tip of the vessel onto the closest pier to her. She walked right out of the portal and onto dry land without so much as pausing to breath in the air. Though she didn't make a show of it, she was genuinely happy to finally be back on dry land after what felt like days of island travel. She didn't have to travel long to find what she was looking for. Right at the edge of the pier was the man she was hoping to meet: None other then Rufus. He was standing there, waiting for her in his white over-coat, typical sunglasses and goatee. His shiny bald head fit right in this tropical setting.

"You done playing superhero?" He asked with just the right amount of contempt to annoy her.

"Don't be a jerk," she responded. She playfully punched his shoulder as she walked by, not even pausing to greet him. He didn't seem to mind and moved to walk side by side with her. "I'm here now, that's what matters, right?"

He ignored her question as he guided her to the right down a market street. It was your typical seafood market that was always situated right next to the docks of a city. The smell of gutted fish hit her nostrils as they walked through it. "So how did it go? Are you an Avenger now?" He put emphasis on the word Avenger as if it was ridiculous to say.

"I'm leaving my options open," she said cryptically. She really didn't feel like getting an 'I told you so' speech from Rufus, especially after their last adventure in Coruscant where they had to stop one of Rufus' friends from destroying the city. It would be a serious pot/kettle situation. "What about you? Have you found anything?"

"Yea. I'll show you."

Rufus guided her past the market and into a small inn on the tip of the Port District of Costa del Sol. He didn't stop at the front desk, so she assumed he had already procured a room. They headed upstairs and down a brightly lit hallway to one of the rooms. Inside was a quaint little single-bed room with a large couch off to the side. Judging by the blanket and bag on the couch, she assumed Rufus had been sleeping there. "Nice little spot you got here," Blink complimented. "Not sleeping on the bed?"

"I don't do beds," he answered. What a weird thing to say. But she didn't stay on that topic.

On the desk near the full-sized bed was several files and pictures that she recognized from their war room back at the Exiles Office. Atop the folder off to the side was a red stamp labeled 'RECRUITMENT DOSSIER' and the top tab had 'Shieldmaiden' written across it. Blink looked down at the and opened the manila parchment. Inside was a brief file on the person they were here to talk to. The picture was of a familiar girl to Blink. She was wielding a spear in an open, grassy area. "You locate her?" she asked Rufus.

They were on a recruitment drive, which was what actually brought Blink here to Costa del Sol. She had been hired by a corporate executive/rogue telepath Gruu to become a splinter cell team in his private army. She had named her team the Exiles, and they were operating under a guise of a detective agency. Her first mission was to recruit a team, and this spear-wielding woman was the first Blink selected. Not only because she had some decent skills in her fire, but because Blink actually had met her.

"Yea, she wasn't difficult to find," Rufus answered. He pointed to a name on the file Blink was looking at it. It listed the Shieldmaiden's affiliates. "She's hanging out with a prominent mercenary group around here. Omni-Pirates." Blink gave him a 'seriously?' look based on that name. "Yea, I know. Basically a bunch of wanna-be scallywags. They aren't real pirates. They don't even go out to sea, as far as I can tell. They just cause trouble here in Costa del Sol."

"So why is our Shieldmaiden hanging with them?" Blink asked.

Rufus shrugged. "As far as I can tell, they hired her to be their muscle."

Claire looked confused, and with good reason. "Wait, wait, wait. A mercenary group of pirates has hired another mercenary to be their bodyguard? What kind of sense does that make?" She didn't know who they were, but her opinion of the 'Omni-Pirates' was dropping drastically with every word Rufus said of them.

"Are you sure this is the girl you want?" Rufus asked. "I mean, she's good with a blade, I'll give you that, but...I haven't really seen anything from her that screams 'Hot Commodity." I'm not even sure that she's a Prime. How do you even know her?"

Blink took a seat on the edge of the bed, having seen enough of the files Rufus had been digging through. "I met her when I signed up for Dante's Abyss. She was applying too, but she didn't get picked so she worked for Syntech as a freelancer. Bodyguard, mostly, but she also helped patch me up when I got eliminated."

"So you haven't actually seen her fight?"

"No," Claire shrugged. "But she seemed nice. Like I could trust her. She took good care of me and she was the first friendly face I met in this place. So I'd like to repay the favor."

"That's not a lot to go off of." Rufus countered. "I mean, you're building a team that we're going to be going into some rough situations with. I have to trust these people with my life. The first person you want to go with is because she was nice to you? I'm sorry, Blink but that's shaky."

Claire rolled her eyes at his skepticism. She wanted to bring up Vendetta, Rufus' old friend, and how that relationship ended (poorly). But she didn't want to spawn an argument. "Rufus, she has a dossier with Gruu, so she's already on his radar. And if that's not enough for you, then just trust me. You don't have to trust her, but give me a chance, okay? Let's just talk to her, see what she has to say."

Rufus nodded his head. "I'm here, aren't I? I trust you."

She nodded too. She did feel a good level of trust from Rufus. It had been that way ever since they teamed up. He had watched his former friend kill the rest of his squad and then assisted in taking the guy down. Blink had a large part in that. There was nothing quite like shared certain-death missions that really brought people together. But as much as Rufus might have been happy for Blink, the teleporter was equally relieved she had a trustworthy guy like Rufus with her. He was skeptical, but once he opened his heart, it was a wonderful thing to behold.

"I'm gonna go get me a room and sleep on it. We'll find her in the morning."

Rufus nodded as it sat down on his couch. "Sounds good, boss."

She couldn't help it. Blink squinted at him. "You don't like beds?"

"Hate 'em."

Claire laughed and shook her head. "Well, okay then." She turned to walk out, still chuckling.

What if you want more than three characters? What can you do then?

So yeah. I look forward greatly to the day I can acquire an alt. In addition to my own deliberation, I'd prefer some input from the community since I have a metric f-ckton of options that I'd be interested in playing. You don't need to give me solid reasons for your choice if you give one, but I'd be interested in hearing them if you have them. I may add more in the future (because I sure don't have self control).

WHO BE HUNTIN KRAKENS WITH OL' CAP'N BLUEHAIR?

I be assemblin' a crew in the Vasty Deeps for'n to scuttle me a Lovecraftian horror what can get me into the Void.

I be needin' some strong n' preferably hearty mates in order to succeed in this here quest.

I can promise ye neither square meals nor warm beds, just guts, blood, and possibly calamari when we're through.

Avast, lads n' lasses, let's go killin'.

Miranda couldn't remember the last time she had a nice throat burning drink. In fact, prior to her entry from the Nexus, she could barely remember her own name, and yet the glass she held between her steel fingers felt familiar. The amber liquid's aroma felt nostalgic, heavely sitting at the back of her mind. Nagging thoughts of memories that weren't there and an imaginary elixir to help uncover. She brought the cold glass to her exposed lips, the freezing yet burning tonic wetting her dry mouth. Within the short span of reviving, the Coldsteel woman had been gifted with many reasons to drown her sorrows in the pool of alcoholism, but that is hardly the reason why she sat here within the mining settlement's drinking hall.

 She was here to celebrate, and to drink for all those who could no longer celebrate as she could. This would be her fifth glass now, but it would take much more to effect her thanks to her cybernetics. A small crowd of Gorons, Humans, and Koopas gathered around her to drink with her, paying honor to lives lost. She brought the  glass down against the smooth marble bar with one hand, and a gold coin in the other.

 "This one to the dark Dragon Volvagia. May the Hells of the Underverse suit her better than this place.", She sneered as the bartender filled her glass once again. The Dragon was mighty and powerful who's wrath completely changed the Goron way of life here within the Ashen Steppes. Who knows whether or not Nealaphh's decision was the best one. With those around her she downed the glass, slamming it back down to the bar.  The Barkeep filled it again, and so the process continued.

Sixth

 "This one to her ll fated brood, who gave their lives at the chance of saving their Mother". The brood were ferocious as they were numerous, numbers that could possibly conquer the Ashen if they pleased, yet they didn't. Only when they were threatened did they swarm. Strange

Seventh

 "This one to the enigmatic Headmaster Nealaphh, May he find what he's looking for in the Underverse". The cloaked shape had promised to help her with her memories, or rather Klee and Shen did who seemed fairly similar from her scans of Nealaph. Perhaps they would be able to help her in her dilemma.

Eighth

 "This one to the Gorons who burned within their homes and villages, and the Gorons who were displaced from their homes. May they rebuild themselves to their former glory."

 Ninth

 At this point many had either passed out, left the building for drunken brawls, or kicked out by the bouncer for other means. The crowd dissipated into nothingness leaving just her the barkeep and a fellow a few stools down. Connor Hound was his name. It would seem he was here for the same reason she was, though it would seem he was reaching for a different end than she. Crimson faced from her many drinks, she turned on her stool, the scarlet light from her eye shining upon him.  "Connor Hound.... What are you doing?"
