[b][u]Bitter | Outskirts of Perth Hampton [/u][/b]
[i]What a cold cold night. So brisk, so snowy. Even for the temperate bay, it was rare for snow to form in Perth. But it was perfect.
Perfect to see how much blood could be spilt before her enemies fell. Perfect to count the number of steps she'd take. It was all a picture perfect setting for her evening entertainment.
The lady drew her estoc, brimming violet with a harrowing hum and hypnotic hue. She combed her beach blonde locks with her hand, adorned in an elbow-long satin manchette. A short skirt and high boots, fully ornamental, gave her the flexibility as any combat suit. But pride made a point: she had to look her best for this reunion.
June Bellicose, the violet lady, stands with a grimace of anticipation by the gates of Perth Hampston.[/i]
"Oh woe is me, and woe alas: it seems I just can't let this pass,
I wish for combat, I want to fight, who will come and see me tonight?"
[i]Her laugh is as pious and prideful as the day she entered this god-forsaken land. [/i]
[spoiler]WELCOME BACK BITCHES![/spoiler]
English
-
*Mjolnir, tired from his journey hears a song being sung by a voice from so long ago* *he walks towards the singing, slowly, meaning not to startle, for he did not want a fight; not when he's weakened by his journey*
-
*Shadow sits by the gates, reading a book* "Ugh.... Can't people stop making dramatic speeches while I'm reading?" *She looks up at June, then shrugs and continues reading*
-
A familiar figure plops out of the sky next to you. It's Rainer. Or some version of him. [i]Hello![/i]
-
"Eh? People are falling from the skies everywhere nowadays it seems. Hello, whoever ya are."
-
[i]I'm Rainer! You know, the guy who bought all that cider at your cafe?[/i]
-
"Oh, that guy." *She looks back down and continues reading*
-
"[i]Welcome back June.[/i]" [b][i]A armored figure slowly approaches her, bowing slightly at her. They seem curious, and almost nostalgic in their posture.[/i][/b] [b][i]They seem to be unarmed, as they look at hee[/i][/b]
-
"Mm? I don't recall meeting a hefty figure, unless that's simply just the armor..." [i]She looks on, perplexed by this mysterious challenger. [/i]

Edited by Crying to Radiohead isn't : 9/8/2015 2:42:49 AM"[i]Pardon my dreadful manners, it is I, the lowly whaler. Though if the armor was off I'd probably be slightly more recognizable.[/i]" [b][i]They cock their head slightly, examining her[/i][/b]
-
"Most likely. Oliver, was it? Well, I must admit, u never thought I'd see you again. You came for my head I take it?"
-
"You're correct about my identity, but no, I have not come for your head. I'm simply here to speak. I must say.. I jumped onto the bandwagon all that time ago. But that's a mistake I don't intend to make again. I don't see the point in making an attempt on your life, you've done nothing to me." [b]He sighs quietly[/b]
-
"That so? I haven't, say, twisted the words and thoughts of your friends into weapons? I haven't hurt anyone dear to you? Hmm?" [i]June simply smirks. She cares little of the matters of her peers, though she would never regard them as such. [/i]
-
".. You may have caused harm to the place I called home, and twisted those I called allies, but you showed me something. That place.." [b][i]He scoffs[/i][/b] "Was of nothing comparable to a home. It was a hell hole. And if it wasn't for you, the events that led to my departure, would not have happened. And I would be trapped there." [b][i]He glances around.[/i][/b] "And it is my belief, that everyone deserves another chance. Even you. Even though you did harm at the time, you helped more than you hurt. So you have my thanks."

[quote]Hello, June.[/quote] [b]A man in a tall, armoured, dark chrome battle suit of some kind walks from the shadows. His blue visor-light orb bobs up and down as he walks towards the blonde lady, a multitude of weapons on his person. His personal katana housed in a mechanical sheath, Razorblaze, and the legendary curved sword of Marauder Felix, Blood Ribbon, adorned either sides of his waist. The M134 minigun attached to a mechanism on his shoulder is still in standby mode, barrel face pointed upwards at the sky. Even through the armour, the man's posture is surprisingly calm... Not unlike a viper ready to strike at any moment. [/b] [quote]Don't even think about it.[/quote] [b]He holds out a hand to reveal a bundle of bleached blonde locks.[/b] [quote]Your tricks won't work on me. Lined my helmet with Epitaxite, and facing me right now is suicide. I don't wanna fight. That's for later. I want to talk.[/quote]
-
[i]June's mild high of nostalgia is peaked as she eyes you. Her eyes light up with excitement and her mouth drops. [/i] "Cobalt! Good heavens, it's been too long! I... I can't put my feelings into words, but you look well!" [i]She readies her estoc, aligning it's point to the direction of your head. [/i] "So you want to talk? Let's talk. I don't mind."
-
[quote]I'm really- REALLY -not in the mood. But sure, two can play that game.[/quote] [b]Even though the man's messages are silent, they still seem to give off the sense of monotony. As if to show he's not caring too much of June's Estoc point, he draws a handful of ceramic kunai throwing knives from two compartments that eject from his thighs. Not even a sword; not even a gun. A knife is chosen to show how little shits he gives at the moment.[/b] [quote]Don't get me wrong, I want to tear your insides out as well. But I guess I'm just not feeling it. Have you ever had an off day? Like, you're sent to go kill someone, and you're just not feeling it? Hell, I'm so off today, I'm talking to you of all people! June Bellicose, the blonde spider-bitch who (technically) killed the legendary Cobalt Phoenix![/quote]

Edited by Sylok's Defiler: 9/7/2015 4:52:48 AM"Oh, those days are grand. I always enjoy playing with my food." [i]She lowers her estoc, but not her guard. Curious of what you've approached her for, she cocks her head back, as if to look down upon you. [/i] "I must admit too, you've left quite a mark on me. It's strange too: I'm talking to the only man other than Felix who made me lose confidence in myself during a clash. Normally, you'd be dead by now. So what peeks your interest tonight, my cerulean roc?"
-
[quote]A history lesson, I suppose. I've gotten one side of the story, and I don't even know if that side of the story is true. So I tend to gather more information and infer my own truth.[/quote] [b]Idly flipping around a few of his Japanese knives, he seems rather bored. Even in the face of June's playful foreshadowing, Phoenix is tame compared to most others at the moment.[/b] [quote]To clear up my question: what is the Monarchy? More specifically, what are you? Who are you? And how did you end up [i]in[/i] the Monarchy?[/quote]
-
"Ah, perceptive aren't you. It never really occurred to people to think that the monarchy is the better half of this war. They all listened to the words of a madman." [i]June sheathes her estoc. It is an odd sight to see, but nonetheless welcome. She turns around and waves you to follow.[/i] "Time is short, dear Luis. Come inside and we can show you [i]what[/i] the Monarchy is."
-
[quote]Yeah, very funny.[/quote] [b]The formerly dormant minigun slides into firing position and whirrs to life with an industrial roar. Still looking rather nonchalant, he stops tossing his knives and tenses the muscles in his forearms.[/b] [quote]I'm not going where you can summon reinforcements. And if you think you can force me in there, you're wrong. Burke or someone else could easily be waiting within those gates. I know the Monarchy's tactics, and I will not fall to their clever manipulation. So, Miss Bellicose, it shall be you who gives me the history lesson. I do not need a visual representation of the kingdom: I need information. And as inaccurate as it may be, I'm gonna get it from you. [/quote]
-
" no funny business from me, not when you approached with a desire to talk. Either you come and meet the family, or you stay out here like some filthy beggar." [i]She turns her head to you, smiling innocently. Such a smile does not go hand in hand with June Bellicose. [/i] "Besides, wouldn't you rather ask the founder herself?"
-
[quote]You people have the ability to screw me over with a single look. Of course I'd rather stay out here. But fine then, I will consider this a parley and agree to your terms since you've agreed to mine.[/quote] [b]Sighing, his minigun retains its current readies position but stops spinning. He follows June through the gates.[/b]
-
[i]June escorts you from the gates through the districts to the Palace. Each street is lined with emotionally ambiguous sprites. Their days are normal, for war has made them accustomed to fear. Even in these trying times, they all partake in the community, helping in whatever ways they can. Marketplaces bustle with incoming foodstuffs and miscellaneous goods, and the denizens of this city crowd around. They gawk and shout, thirsty animals, held only in check by the finite source of nutrition. But they do not trample each other or cut in front. Despite the chaotic scene, they are all fairly civilized. And while you can only assume that such disorder is controlled when authority is present, you look to see no guards or officers. June interrupts your staring as she looks backwards to you. [/i] "Quite a lovely place, isn't it? It's nothing like the beauty of Cataluna, but we all have our tastes and preferences. But this land speaks for itself: you can just look at it and see that something marvelous lies within each street and store. It's rather rapturous..."
-
[quote]We're not going to Cataluna either way: I have no need for such "beauty" at the moment. Are these people all being controlled by you? Because if not, I'm genuinely impressed. Far from a happy civilization, but I cannot say I did not take part in making them like this. I am fine without having audience with your Queen. I have enough information standing right in front of me, and I know not to venture deep into the Lion's den.[/quote] [b]Observing the scenes through his helmet's HUD, he immediately starts scanning the area for possible threats. His days in the Imperium's service have made him rightfully cautious to everything, even on these so-called "peaceful" trips. [/b] [spoiler]I woke up. Can't fall asleep.[/spoiler]
-
[i]Several possible threats are dotted along rooftops and street corners, but they seem to just be patrolmen. [/i] "Ironically, no, I have had no part in shaping this nation. I am just a foreign emissary of sorts. Besides, these plebeians wouldn't be worth the energy. In all seriousness, however, it makes me proud to know that our people look to us to keep them safe. [i]She raises a finger in a matter-of-factly tone.[/i] And that doesn't even come from the prideful side of me, I'll have you know! [i]She continues walking briskly with a hop in her step. This June is the sang-froid of all the encounters you've had with her. Never before has she been so lax...[/i]
