/vx/ - Videogames and Paranormal

>>7451
*A cold chill runs down Trump's spine at Thez's words*
After a very long pause, Trump tells Fae
"I assure you, I am very well aware of the fallenness of this world and of the instruments Elway has chosen to save it. But if devil blood is necessary to repel those who would prevent the spread of the Truth of Football, and for our liberation from our thralldom to the Terrasque, then so be it."
Pauses a little, then adds
"Don't worry, I don't trust her or any of the demon stock"

>>7454
>Alignment: Always neutral evil
No, you are chaotic evil

>>7457
I can be a goodish girl.

>>7457
Hello, gm?
I believe I asked what metals are in the treasury.
Preferably something light and strong

And meanwhile, in her head Tracy feels like she's standing alone in a darkened room. From all around her usher whispers of "Something to eat!" "Something?" "Yes, to eat!" "We should eat!" "Eat" in a constantly mingling sound that grows more intense and frightful as she 'hears' it.

>>7458
You're Chaotic Evil

>>7459
Oh yes, I apologize. The treasury has been laid bare, in the interest of expanding Trump's vision. Its all polished floors and nothing of value.

>>7461
Nope, this.>>7462

>>7463
>>7460
*shakes erratically*

In the Game world, as Trump speeds Tracy back to Trump tower, Tracy begins to sweat and thrash in her unconsciousness.

>>7466
>speed
Dragonne has a flight speed of 30ft...

>>7466
>Trump tower
Change of plans. Trumpaladin will take the unconscious Tracy to the Port Barry Immigration detention center and or quarantine zone, for a safe measure. Unless there is a similar room like a brig in Trump Tower

>>7463
Uggggg
Why Trump
Where could I find bars, maybeeeeeeeee Adamentite(?)
I think 2 should be good

Trump arrives back at the pyramid, and speeds her to the infirmary.
Meanwhile Thez "Grrr's" and <whoofs> her and Infernius back to the pyramid
>>7467
Base combat speed of,... this is full flight.
>>7468
>GM eye twitches
Not,... to the toer?

>>7469
Don't worry, these metals should be in the Port Barry forge warehouse. Just submit a requisition request
>>7470
And let her be over taken by a demon virus and destroy the tower? I don't think so

Inside Tracy's head, innumerable shadows dart to and fro around her, not dissimilar to the GIbberlings except instead of attacking with blades, they each take a bit of "her" with them.

>>7472
>they each take a bit of "her" with them.
I'm sorry, what was there to take again?

Thez <whoofs> her and Infernius back to the edge of the forest. "WHERE THE FUCK DID THEY GO!?" and she starts sniffing the air.

>>7474
port barry?

>>7473
That statement is precisely why they are able to take unrestricted.
>>7475
"Errrgh!" Thez grunts, and whoofs the two of them to the center of town, where they can see Trump ushering Tracy into his quarantine area.
"Get me there nao!" she leans and moves in the direction she's indicating.

Before I continue, what does Tracy think? I mean, last she was fully conscious and unperturbed, she drank a vial of blood. Since then she's experienced several types of madness, has set a few things on fire with her mind, and is now having her consciousness eaten away by a shadowy presence literally stealing her essence.

>>7476
If Trump has any awareness of Thez then he defers to Thez. She knows what this evil virus is

>>7477
>having her consciousness eaten away
Like I said, what exactly was there to eat away? The hopelessly nihilistic part? The hedonistic shenanigans? The irrational violence? Or the side that still hoped she could be a mother one day?
>this is the third time she's been possessed

>>7480
She got gang-raped when she was young, and her organs were damaged. After failing to get pregnant so many times, her life fell into a downward spiral of nihilism and violence.

>>7479
The "I'm me" part
>>7478
Thez and Infernius (haven't had it directed, but I'm assuming he's doing what she's yelling, especially given the frantic nature of her voice) enter the quarantine area as a still-thrashing Tracy is placed on a cot.
"What in hell have you done?" Thez says, tearing through her bandages. With the bandages removed (the surface ones showing ample bloody/oozing parts) you can see that her skin is long from being fully formed. While better off than she was, there are several sections of her body that display open musculature, tendon, ligament, and bone. She limps over to Tracy
T> Monk healing.
Tracy, as her capacity to discern begins to fade, even from this mind-space she is in, feels 'heat'. Its not the shadow, and its not her, and yet it immediately IS her, and it vitalizes and rejuvinates her.
The shadow-flurry slows, and the thing its self begins to cease its barrage.
"What is this?!"

Tracy's consciousness clears, enough to determine that she is still she, and that THAT is NOT she, and that that is her enemy.

>>7481
>>7479
this feel makes infernuis heart extremely sad

>>7471

But at least we won't die

>>7487

>>7488
>Terraria
My vidya references have been out of date for YEARS now, like since FFX.

>>7488
yea they did.

>>7483
[stabs internally]

From inside herself, Tracy hears another voice. This one is deep and resounding, and entirely unfamiliar yet vaguely assertively so. The lone question comes to mind:
"Who is to die this day?"

>>7490
Huh, so Terraria did pull a rip off
Its a fairly fun game. The world is like 2d minecraft, but the gameplay is great
Some of the higher tier ores are Adamantite and Mythril
But know I know where 5hey got that.
>anyway
I heard the commotion after turning in my form, so I head over to see whats happening

>>7493
>doesn't respond
*continues internal stabbing*

Sorry brower is nuking on me, gimme a sec

>>7497
It wasn't just that, I've been running multiple processes all morning. The comp needed a reboot.
Okay.
>>7495
*thrashing, doesn't have knives inside head
Still, the shadowy whatever finds that you're not as helpless and weak as you should be, especially given your physical state.
You have no weapons, armor, or items. There is a shadow whats-it before you, and a pounding in your head. What do you do.

>>7498
*bites*

>>7499
That will work. Tracy without knowing it, gives in to the pain, the frustration, the rejection of what has happened, and the fury of all that she has seen, has EVER seen, and with that resolve does bite down on the shadowy thing. From her teeth belch flames, also her hooves, and jets of which spout intermittently from her mane and tail.
The shadow - being intangible and unable to mount any physical (even in the mind) defense against literal threats, recoils and attempts to retreat.
You have an attack of opportunity, flaming hooves and a flaming mouth.
Do your worst.

>>7498
I guess I arrive at the place, so I ask what the fuck is going on?

>>7500
*mauls the fuck out of it*
>goes for the jugular (if it has one)
*starts kicking and screaming internally*

>>7502
is tracy thashing about externally?

>>7502
*grapples, still mauling it*
*tramples*
>>7503
Ikd, maybe.

>>7502
Did I need to roll there?

>>7502
Tracy - still in her own head - goes full Barbarian rage on its bitch-ass. She still doesn't know what it is, but with every firey blow/bite, it seems to recoil, to diminish. Her eyes now streaming flames, and her whole body issuing a vaporous steam, she stands menacingly over it, it now unable to harm her in the least.
>>7504
Good
>>7503
Yes. Thez is on the floor at her feet, in meditation. Tracy has flung all blankets and whatever aside. Her eyes are shut tight, but she's clearly in a frenzy of sorts.
"This cannot be! You are of the earth! This cannot be!" it screams as it is crushed and trampled into nothingness.

>>7506
I got to go for about an hour, sorry...
>inb4 >rape

Before I continue, what has just occurred (in a minimal explanation) is that Tracy just beat down the developing presence of a nightmare which was growing within her. Because she consumed Devil blood, its nature mixed with hers, and ultimately tried to take over. Tracy is already nutty, and has been possessed before so she was able to fight it off. Thez gave her a boost at the right moment, and she literally trampled its developing will/awareness with her own.
In the real, Tracy's eyes flutter open for a moment, before >>7507 she falls into a peaceful and restful sleep.

Thez collapses against the side of Tracy's cot, also exhausted.

>>7508
So... Is she still infected with Ebola and do we need to continue to keep her quarantined?

>>7509
i mutter *there goes infernuis dinner plans*

As Tracy lays there, the bony protrusions along her mane darken at the tip, and appear to glisten with a hint of gold.
>>7510
You have NO idea, but she's peacefully resting at the moment, and doesn't appear to be either a threat or to be in any distress.
>>7511
Don't worry, meat is meat whether its cold or warm. ^_~

>>7510
>Toriul looks at Trump and Infernius
What the fuck is going on here ye bastards?

>>7510
trump you know what happen to tracy?

>>7513
hoers go crazier than usual.

>>7513
>>7514
"Yeah, she took some weird drugs or something and tried to face down a group of groundhogs or something. Anyways, the important thing is that Thez says that something she did caused her to imbibe demon blood. Same group as Tracy. It caused a fever and shaking. But before that it caused her to produce a fire that killed off the mole groundhog things. Thez and Fae say she has some peculiar evil in her now. It looks like the worst of the fever is over. I do not know if she is contagious or not"

>>7516
Well, Thez didn't say that, but Fae said "she has demon blood in her".

Infernius knows from Thez' reaction that something significant/worrisome happened, but he was kinda dragged along in a manner of speaking

From Trump's back Infernius whispers, "Oi lad! Look, they're both down! We can kill 'em nao!"

>>7517
It's in her now whereas it was not before, that what he knows

>>7518
wut?

>>7516
>is of confusion
I have an idea,
Can unicorns detect human "goodness" like in all the fucking myths that I am aware of?
Or is it a more mlp unicorn?

>>7521
Well, she spent the whole time frantically barking orders and teleporting the both of you about (she could have ported solo) and fixated on what was happening. Again, you don't know what was up, but it was clearly (and not just from Thez' actions) significant.
>>7522
No, that's easy for any divinely-abled creature (holy or infernal)

>>7522
"She did something, who knows what, but there is evil in her now and it caused a reaction almost like the flu. And she burned a large number of things with her mind apparently"

>>7524
>>7523
WHO THE FUCK IS TRUMP AND WHO THE FUCK IS GM

>>7525
I am Trump

>>7507
back

>>7526
Ooooh, thats pretty

>>7528
To God, King and Country

>>7526
>loyalty
Okay good, you both always responding to shit sometimes confused me, and I had to know
>>7523
So, unicorns cant do that?

Tracy's eyes flutter open again. She feels,... different. She's not in danger (so no thrashing about nao!), and she is surrounded by her friends(?) who are eager to see what has occurred and how she fares.

>>7531
Yep, detect alignment is a 1st level skill.

>>7532
>she is surrounded by her friends
*annoyance grows*

>>7534
Trumpaladin leaves
>>7531
See >>7530

>>7534
Shhh, don't fight it

>>7534
tracy ok?

>>7535
"Lad! Its not too late! We can kill 'em for good! That blue one is vile nao!" Vandereim whispers as you walk out to Fae.

>>7536
Shut up, you enjoy us and you know it.
>>7533
So, who out of us could check that shit?

>>7536
[annoyance intensifies]
>>7539
>*stirs haggis internally*
>>7537
.....

>>7540
*shakes tracy*
TRACY OK? TRACY DEAF?

Sidenote. Tracy is now lawful evil, and technically she always was so. The reason is because lawful evil means "orderly evil" or rather, maintaining a consistent response to stimuli over time. Chaotic evil would be an inconsistent response to evil over time, which seems inconsistent with Tracy's character. She seems like she would consistently murder those who are aggressive for one, and consistently disdain happy/comfy feels/situations for no good reason. Basically, lawful = consistent, and Tracy (in spite of being disproportionate from 'the norm') is actually QUITE consistent.

>>7542
Tracy is a literal serial killer.

>>7539
Both Infernius and Trump
>>7541
Kek. Tracy is being vigorously shaken.

>>7541
*bites nose-ring like a bulldog*

>>7544
detect aligment and tell torc

Thez also stirs awake and immediately gasps, as she's been oozing onto the floor.
"God dammit!" she exclaims while pulling out a small brassy cylinder that looks like a stamp roll, and proceeds to roll over and over and over, until she's again covered in bandages.

>>7538
*Trumpaldin goes into a corner outside of the detention center infirmary*
"I don't know. I believe the Blue one was among those that woke up near the pyramid. If that is the case, then she is chosen by Elway himself to complete the task at hand. Remember that Elway allows evil to exist not because He cannot vanquish it, but because it serves to make Good the more glorious. Perhaps she has a purpose here. I saw her kill something like 90 mole things just with her mind. That's a power that could be useful. And for all her problems, she's been very helpful in the past. Of course, that may have changed. She seems less enthusiastic to see me than expected. Perhaps she has changed. Actually, I should probably make sure she's not some random blue pony that just stumbled upon us. If that's the case, then yeah, we should kill her."

Trumpaladin goes back into the room

>>7546
Yep, definitely lawful evil. Also, there's those gold-tipped horn thingies.
>>7546
And then Tracy clamps on Infernius' nose-ring.

>>7551
Sorry, u just said you wanted to go wilder. Tit for tat. Xp

>>7549
Thanks

So how is my order going?

>>7555
>decide to leave him a chance, because he was here this time
>squanders it
...

>>7549
i get up and run into the wall tracy first

>>7550
*different
>>7552
Probably
>>7555
Uhhhh,... what was it? Even with my autism, its hard to keep track of everything.

>>7557
Well, Tracy said she's biting down on your nose ring at the moment

>>7559
Its early yet. You JUST woke up. Let it simmer a bit.

>>7558
So... Would Tracy be more or less attractive to Trump now?

>>7557
*Angles knife between us*

>>7557
Sorry, momentary misinterpretation.
Infernius, now having Tracy dangling from his nose-horn, flails about before crashing into the wall, Tracy first

>>7565
see >>7563

[1d20-4 = -16]
>>7564
One never knows what will result of their actions,....

Upon colliding with the wall, Infernius realizes he now has a keen-edged blade sticking out of his chest at an alarming angle.

*flees room in stealth*

Tracy kinda falls to the floor, (she's still far from 'okay physically OR mentally), but Infernius has a big knife to worry about.

>>7556
Kill me now
>>7558
Two mythril bars
Ill be back in an hour

>>7570
Fail. You have several people looking right at you. You need some form of concealment to just 'go stealth' (hasn't come up yet cuz you have had). You DO flee the room though.
>>7572
"Sorry, I mean I know you're one of the great ones, but our stock of mythril is VERY limited. We can spare an ounce? Maybe?"

Trumpaldin will now go and ask Fae what this means, and if there is any cure

>>7571
>>7562
trump pull out knife!?!?

>>7576
uh... What?

>>7577
KNIFE IN CHEST!

>>7578
Oh shit. Trump pulls out the knife from Inferius's chest, and then stuffs in a rag and forces Inferius's hand over it to stop the bleeding, before Trump goes outside to talk to Fae

>>7576
You're lucky I didn't use poison (I was gonna).
>>7574
*Flees down hallway and leaves building*

>>7580
Nice try, but we took you to a temporary detention center for foreign nationals A prison. It has a multitude of measures to prevent escape. Especially since you started in the quarantine zone

>>7580
>>7581
HA tracy btfod

>>7581
Yes this. While tracy scrambles out, she finds the perimeter guarded in just such an event of someone trying to escape.

>>7547
thez you takes us back to tower? infernuis had surpise but it probbly cold now.

>>7580
>>7581
>>7582
>>7583
Have you even been in one of these? They have several areas where a door has to lock behind you before a door will unlock and open in front of you, and even the bus loading and unloading stations have locked garage doors
\r

>>7584
Thez is still passed out.
>>7586
Its not THAT level of sophistication, but yes it IS enough to keep Tracy from bolting out the door.

>>7585
Wut? You still don't even know WTF is going on!

>level thirteen rogue
*picks locks and GTFOs*

>>7587
oh i thought you said she woke up my bad.

>>7588
She only knows she needs her space.

>>7586
trump can you give thez and me a ride back to tower?

>>7589
The doors are designed such that you have to go through several, have to go through sections were a door closes in behind you before you can open a door, and people would see you
>>7587
To prevent the spread of Bubonic plague, why wouldn't it be?

>>7590
Crap, you're right. She is again bundled in a mesh of bandage.
"A surpise? You mean more than THIS?"

>>7592
"I don't think Fae can carry that much at once. I guess I can fly Thez back up? We can all walk?"

>>7593
Agreed, but only Trump tower has that level of sophistication. The best ur gonna get with the town is hanging skins separating the 'rooms' in an emergency tent.

>>7589
GM?

Thez's fly buzzes over and grabs her with 2 of its appendages.
"He can carry one other, but we gotta make sure Tracy doesn't hurt herself.
>>7597
Fail, the quaratine area is proofed against escape (a 20 would have worked, but u didn't roll and we're going).

Thez looks at Trump. "She's not fit to climb,... could you carry her back?"

>>7598
[reee's internally]

>>7596
>The immigration detention center could use improvement
I know what needs to be made great again next

Also, it's pretty simple to explain. As seen in the map of Port Barry, there is a costal fortress. You take part of that, and convert it into an army prison. Then you take the army prison, and you convert it into an immigration detention center. Specifically, sailors, stowaways and whoever comes on from the boat from exotic lands is kept there until there can prove themselves to not be contagious before being allowed within the city walls. It's like Angel Island detention center in San Fransisco

>>7599
"Sure" Who is "she"? Tracy?

>>7601
you gonna form i.c.e.?
me wanna be a member.

>>7603
You are a Cleric of a new religion. You're still on a mission to convert followers.

>>7604
me can do both,THOT

>>7603
*Trump's Eyes light up*
"Find out who needs to be deported, and deport them. We're making damn sure our border - err... the harbor - Is secure"
\r

>>7601
Makes perfect sense to me.
>>7602
Yes, Tracy
>>7604
This TBH

>>7606
i guess that makes me an inquisitor now.

>>7607
"Do we have a secure brig?"

>>7608
"So long as you are exterminating the heresy of "Association Football" (withholds vomit), then please, by all means, purge the heretics"

\r

>>7609
me need badge.

>>7611
You have a Swastika badge already.

>>7611
"Make this man a badge!" Trump yells at whoever is relevant

>>7610
e_O I must have misunderstood what you meant by that.
>>7612
This
>>7609
Its not for restraining people, but it will work for that

>>7612
>war paint
>brand
no badge tho

>>7613
The message is relayed to the jeweler, it will be ready soon.

So... Is Tracy more dangerous than normal now? Is she infected with a demonic version of the T-Virus?

Trumpaladin encounters Tracy, now in a hallway away from the bed, and looks right at her

>>7611
>being a lackey to someone else
>not focusing on your mission to Hitler
You could've gone for the High Proselytizer class...

>>7617
You're not sure. Literally, no never.
>>7618
Almost, you have no idea how behind I am his week. I haven't even started on Anne-frank pone

>>7620
i am going to be asking questions relating to both tracy,chill

>>7621
ok no rush.

If you all want the candid bit, you're not in danger, from outside or from each-other.
Tracy just experienced a metamorphosis, which I would have been happy to <poof> grant, but what kinda GM would I be if I didn't make it hurt, nor involve other characters?
Everyone is fine, no one has been harmed.
Having said, Tracy has a touch of the infernal, lastingly a part of her (Vandereim can concur, as well as Infernius if he was detecting).

Away with these godawful horns.

"Tracy?" Trump asks with sadness, wondering in his mind if this Tracy everyone keeps talking about is the Blue One

>>7626
yeah, tracy you know the blue one.

>>7625
Tracy begins cutting and gouging at the horns that dot the backside of her neck She carves through one, then another (none easily, I'm speeding things up.
As this occurs, this occurs. >>7626

"WHAT THE UNHOLY FUCK,,..." Thez is buzzed in, in a fresh set of bandages. "...WERE YOU THINKING?!" She is hovered to stare eye-to-eye with Tracy. She's entirely unintimidating at the moment, but she's still there, glaring.

>>7629
With a soft and somber tone, Trumpaladin says to Thez "step aside for a moment. I want to see for myself how she has changed." Trump puts his arm out in front of to signal "move over"

[carving stops]

>>7631
looks at pony. He considers moving his hand towards Vanderiem in case Tracy attacks, but decides against it

>>7630
Thez acquiesces and floats (buzzzz) aside

".............."

>>7633
*watches from doorway*

Trump finds that Tracy, entirely whole and complete (and NOT unappreciative of his closeness Xp) , has a series of miniscule (we're talking 1" to 1/2") horns sticking out of her neck.

>>7574
then just give me your hardest and strongest stuff

So Tracy escaped, now where is she

>>7634
>>7636
Trump looks into her eyes, breathing more slowly
>>7637
She's with us in the hallway of the detention center

These horns are not sensitive, and they have the slightest bit of gold topping each of them.
Trump can tell that though her nature has changed, and though it still is at (semi) odds with his, she is LESS unlike him than she was.
>>7637
"Sure" they lob a rod at you cuz they're watching the scene.

>>7640
and that would be?

"......................................................................................."

>>7642
Tl;dr She was somewhere between Chao-Neut and Neut-Ebil

>>7644
PSSSST

"... G-good afternoon, Flashy..."

>>7639
>barely catches
Dafuq is dis shit?
Howclose am i to tracy?

>>7643
"Are-Are you okay?" (wants to add name, but cannot remember it)

>>7649
"..............." Say her name, you bastard!

>>7650
Trump repeats
"Are you okay?"

>>7651
Her name tracy dummy.

>>7653
nah you dummy. that unicorn would never love you as much as tracy.

>>7654
Somethings's changed
