White voids and Black Coffee - Ian Sylvester - 07-25-2017
hmm, well that was interesting, glad to see that interesting isn't a formality
I landed in the void of some sort of hub, on a pool. unfortunately I missed the water instead landing on the diving board, that's fine, didn't want to get my favorite clothes wet anyway. after I get onto solid ground I I take a look around......I'm gonna need some coffee....
Quote:Ian is now playing this song, oh and a few people are comeing in, I'mma wait on them before I continue
and yes he does remember the omni thing, that was why he was saying all that stuff about intresting
RE: White voids and Black Coffee - Gaston - 07-27-2017
Gaston woke up in a blank void, all black except himself, seemingly going on forever. He had... stabbed that wretched monster and then fallen to what had seemed like his death, after heroically wounding the beast. If this was the afterlife, at least he had died honourably. Standing it that void, Gaston couldn't tell how much time had passed, for all he knew it was centuries, though it could have just as easily been seconds. A strange, featureless white silhouette in the distance appeared, beginning to speak.
Quote: “My name is Omni. This is not the world you know. This is the Omniverse. You interest me, so I have made you part of it. The Omniverse is a place that reflects the wishes of those who are part of it. But! There are rules. I will explain them only once, so listen carefully.”"Rules... are you god, perhaps? Or a demon?" Gaston pondered, but no sound came out, and the being made no response. The being... the "omni" held out its hand, showing a glowing, rainbow coloured ball.
Quote: “This is Omnilium. It’s what ties the Omniverse together. Without it, you are nothing. With it, anything you desire can be yours. But you will need more than this. If you desire it enough, you will find it. You will find that using it comes naturally. Just think of what you desire most."Omnilium? What is that, some kind of magic? It creates what I desire though... that would be very useful."
Quote:“You will not be alone in the Omniverse. There are others. Of course, they, too desire Omnilium. Do not fear death. For as long as you interest me, you will be reborn."Others? Competition, then! I will best them all!"
Quote:“That’s all you need to know right now. You’ll figure out the rest soon enough. I’ll be watching … and waiting.”With that last line, the void faded away and Gaston found himself in a strange, bright white area, his head throbbing. He remembered everything, yet it was all hazy, like it had never really happened. Nearby was a large... lake of water? Yet it had a white board hanging above it, and a man standing on it in a strange outfit. Looking on with an expression of disbelief, Gaston walked forward, yelling at the man on the board. "Excuse me! Tell me what this 'Omniverse' is all about!" he spoke, bluntly stating his demand as he began to climb up onto the board. He would find out about this new universe. And he would win Belle. That was certain.

Quote:what? no reply on the music emanating from him?
"I'm as beat as you, but this place sure seems keen." I said, still taking in the various types of people and creatures around. "hey you look like an old hat bluenose, if you don't mind me sayin'." I was sizing him up, he seemed like the big six, but he was just as in awe as me. "your duds look hand made, did you make them yourself or are they queer?."
Quote:still playing the same song
slang translations:
beat: not knowing or confused
keen: attractive or interesting
bluenose: aristocratic snob
the big six: a strongman, a heavy lifter
duds: clothes
queer: counterfeit, fake

Quote:bump-de-do ( I know I'm a few minutes short of 48 hours shut up)
RE: White voids and Black Coffee - Gaston - 07-29-2017
Gaston looked puzzled at his speech, tilting his head in confusion.
"You're... beat? I'm a bluenose? Queer? What is any of this meant to mean!" Flabbergasted, Gaston tried to calm down, remembering what happened the last time he let his anger and confusion overtake him. Placing his face in his hands, he began breathing slowly, when suddenly a sound he had ignored before filled his mind. A strange sound, like an odd type of music that seemed to be coming from the man. And yet the man appeared not to have any instruments, nor did he seem to be singing. "Excuse me, but is that sound supposed to be music? And how are you playing it?" Nothing about what this man was doing made any sense. Omni had said this world was not like the one he knew, and so far, that was certainly true. Gaston had only been here a brief amount of time, and had already found a strange man that spoke in an odd manner and could make music with no instrument, and a giant lake with a board over it. Truly this was a strange world. But somehow he'd find a way to survive in it. Because he was Gaston. And no one adapts like Gaston. No one.
RE: White voids and Black Coffee - Ian Sylvester - 07-29-2017
considering that Nobody Knows what the hell is going on, I thought it fitting to change the song
"Now, I'll try to tone down the slang for ye' in your time of panic, I simply meant that I don't know what is happening either, but it seems I nice change of pace from my old town." this guy seemed like he was on dynamite, but his eyes were clear and his face obsessively pristine, no, this guy was just confused. I for one was gonna enjoy this new and wonderful place. "what do you say we hit a the closest hitch we can find? you seem like you could use a drink."
Quote:as per gastons request I did the music in post.
also I would like to visit Higgs' casino in tier 5 of Coruscant.
hitch = bar or speakeasy

RE: White voids and Black Coffee - Gaston - 07-30-2017
"A nice change of pace?" Gaston said, a hint of disbelief in his voice. "How bad is your world, that this is nice? If you went through the same things I did, all this place has been is a disorganised mess!" He shook his head, wondering how he could find this place good."The closest... hitch? You said a drink, do you mean a bar?" Listening closely, Gaston could tell that the sound from him had changed, though it was still just as strange. So odd. It was certainly music, there was a steady beat and sounds in a distinct pattern, but it was unlike anything Gaston had heard before. "Also, you never answered; how are you playing that music?" Everything here was so crazy, it was hard for Gaston to believe it was all real, like it was all one big dream. But for now, he would just have to assume it was real. "So, should we start looking for a bar now?"
Quote:Cool, I didn't mention moving towards a gate for that
RE: White voids and Black Coffee - Marisa Kirisame - 07-30-2017
When Chara exited the Pale moors portal she fell face first into the ground and groaned at karma being a bitch. She got up and started to walk around in the stark white of the nexus that had welcomed her months before. Was it months? She shrugged at this because it could be years at this point and she still had yet to grow a inch, death was cruel like that letting you come back to life only to not grow any height or age any.
Flowey had came up to her and she begrudgingly threw aside her anger at the flower and let him climb on her shoulder getting a higher vantage point. "Alright . . . onwards Chara to glory!" She nodded and started to jog across the nexus surface that is until she came into contact with two men by the looks of it. One of them looked like they were ripped from a cartoon or a anime by the looks of it; and the other looked like they were a musician.
She looked at the cartoon person and just stared at them confused as to why they looked this way. Gaston took this as a sign as they were star struck. Chara finally snapped out of her thoughts and spoke. "Hello, my name is Chara Dreemurr." she looked at Flowey and let him speak also.
"Howdy I'm Flowey, Flowey the Flower . . . Yes I know I'm a talking flower get over it because you will see weirder shit here." The two people cringed by the flower's blunt introduction. But were completely fine otherwise. If they weren't they didn't show it on there faces to the child and flower. She decided that she would tag along with the two since she had nothing better to really do at the moment.

Quote:I am NOT okay with you controlling my character, and gaston said likewise in his signature.
well, looks like this kid ruined the thematic's of the song, damn you kid and you're flower fiend, time to switch the song again
but in all seriousness let's ask her what's up
I take a few seconds to make a black cube to sit down on. "Hey kiddo, can you tell me what is going on, you, or at least you're flower friend seem to know a thing or two." I go ahead and make another box and move it behind her to sit on, though now that I think about it it's a little awkward sitting in a white void next to a swimming pool on the neon black outline of a cube. oh and also the cube is more the half her size.
Quote:I know it's not exactly the same genre, but to be fair this song in particular could go either way.
the only slang I used this time is still around today so no need to translate
I'm assuming chara as more or less 4 feet tall, that is about the average height for someone her age. I on the other hand am more then 6 feet tall and has no problem sitting on a 3 foot cube
RE: White voids and Black Coffee - Marisa Kirisame - 08-01-2017
As She sat down she sighed while pulling out her inventory box and grabbing her chocolate bar. "Well from my time here I can say a few things first off. the local dicks of the omniverse aka the empire or coruscant will not give a second thought if you step out of line to beat you to the ground. Camelot are the respective good guys out of the two. Well im guessing your primes because you probably saw the big man in the sky give you a talk and your confused."
She closed her inventory box with a sigh. "Well my home was in a underground living with creatures called monsters. Nice people better than my folks and certain primes here." Her eyes had turned from a nice brown to a reddish brown clearly in her anger with Flowey trying to calm her down to little avail. She was clearly in one of her moods and was trying not to lash out. She soon got over said mood giving one of her traditional smiles spanning from ear to ear. She continued to talk about the verses and certain things she personally knows to the others.
RE: White voids and Black Coffee - Gaston - 08-01-2017
Gaston looked at the small girl that had approached them, a disbelieving look on his face. This place was getting stranger and stranger! She had no real defining characteristics, other than the fact that a small yellow flower with a face was perched on her shoulder. Likely just a toy, Gaston brushed off his initial surprise and listened to her speak. She introduced herself as Chara Dreemur; a strange name, fitting for such a strange place. Nothing seemed too out of the ordinary, until suddenly... her flower started to speak?! It introduced itself as Flowey, fitting for its appearance, but rather unoriginal. It said that they would see stranger things in this Omniverse, and that its nature as a talking flower was nothing out of the ordinary, which made sense to Gaston. A strange introduction was given earlier, and it brought him to a strange world. It only made sense that that world had strange inhabitants. Ian asked the girl about what's going on, saying she seemed to know what this place was like, which made sense. She was clearly accustomed to the world. The girl talked about what she called "the local dicks of the Omniverse," groups called "The Empire" and "Camelot". She described Camelot as the respectable ones, on the right side of conflicts.
"Well then, I suppose I'll have to try to meet with this 'Camelot'!" Gaston said. She described them as heroes, and that was what he was: a hero. She talked about her old home, a place filled with monsters. "Wait... monsters?!" Gaston asked, confused. Clearly, she must have had a different idea of what a monster was, or else she obviously wouldn't say they were "good folk". For a moment, Chara became very still, obviously trying to calm herself from something. But shortly after she continued on, and Gaston began listening intently to her describe more about this strange world.
RE: White voids and Black Coffee - Marisa Kirisame - 08-04-2017
As Chara looked at Gaston she sighed. "Well long story short monsters fought human after getting blindsided because of the fear that they would take the human souls and become powerful." She pulled out her cracked soul and sighed. "This is a soul, I could be considered a special individual because this soul should be broken and not in this state. I am what you people might call a ghost." As she talked to Gaston about soul's powers and that sort of thing; Ian got up and started to walk away to the Vasty deep portal before entering.
Chara laughed as she pulled out a knife and started to do tricks with it. "I'm sorry that I probably bored you. Also if you ever meet a prime named frisk . . ." Her voice turned dark and cruel and her eyes a dark red. "Well just give her hell alright?" And At that point her voice and eyes turned back to normal. "She killed everyone in the underground then reset it all to pretend that it was I that did it all. She almost destroyed my world in her chaos." Chara spoke with no fear in her voice only disappointment.
"I really don't remember my heritage though enough about me. What was your past like hmmm?" her intrest clearly had zoned in on Gastons past with pinpoint accuracy.
RE: White voids and Black Coffee - Gaston - 08-05-2017
Gaston listened closely to Chara explain the war between monsters and humans.
"So these monsters... they would take human's souls?!" A look of horror came onto his face. Beasts that took human's souls? And she was defending them?! Continuing to listen, she explained the powers of souls, describing herself as a ghost. Fitting, then, that she would defend monsters. She then talked about a prime named "Frisk," who had supposedly wiped out the underground and blamed Chara.
"So then, this Frisk, she was a villain, a monster?" Gaston smiled at that thought. He was a hero, and he would beat her. As soon as he found her. Which would certainly be soon after he started looking. Upon her asking about his past, Gaston let out a grin and began to speak.
"Well then, you want to know about me?" He didn't wait for an answer before continuing. "Well, you see, I was born in a small town in France. Trained from the time I was a small child, I became very good at hunting, able to take down any beast I came across! Why, I would say I was the very beast hunter in France! I was more strong than a bear, faster than a bird, and as cunning as a fox! And yet one women, this Belle, she refused me! But soon she was kidnapped, by a horrible monster! I rallied the townspeople, and we stormed the beast's castle. We fought valiantly, and I raced to the beast, fighting him nobly. I stabbed him, dealing a killing blow, but the beast threw me off of the castle, killing me, in my ultimate sacrifice. Truly, I was a hero."
RE: White voids and Black Coffee - Marisa Kirisame - 08-07-2017
As Chara listened to Gastons spiel about his past she nodded understanding. "Clearly we have different worlds but you and me aren't so different. I killed my self to give my brother a chance to free our people. You killed that . . . beast in a attempt to protect your people." She pulled out a piece of paper and started to write her email down. "If you get a chance to use the dataverse this is my email this is how I can talk to people from anywhere here. I'm just a hop skip and a jump in the Pale moors if you need me for anything. Well I'll be heading to the Frozen field's now, Thanks for being my friend and I hope I can see you again." She gets up from her box and starts to walk with the flower to the frozen fields pulling out the very parka she wore to there and put it on.
Once gaston was out of sight she made her final preparations. "Knife? check. Food? check. Water? check. Fire starter? check. And a flower? Check." With that motion she entered the frozen fields to find a place for the next settlement of monsters and a retreat from a assault of Dracula or Darkshire, and other factions and primes/secondarys.
RE: White voids and Black Coffee - Gaston - 08-10-2017
Gaston nodded at her assessment.
"So then, we were both heroes!" he replied. When she handed him a piece of paper, he was confused at first; an... e-mail? But she continued speaking, and he merely shrugged it off, assuming it was just part of the Omniverse that he would figure out eventually. "Yes then, goodbye," he said as she began to leave. "I'm sure I'll see you again!" The burly man then swiftly turned away, looking around for the other man he had been with. "Ian, I think I'll take you up on that offer to take me to a bar." he said. But then... Ian wasn't there. "Ian? Ian!" He scowled. That... musician, must have gone off without him! What a fool! Well, Gaston never did like his music anyway! Gaston then set out, walking away from Chara to the first gate he saw. He was going to learn how to survive here, and if he needed to do it entirely by himself, then he would. Because no one could stop Gaston.
