Journey Through the Multiverse: Roleplay Thread

"Confound it! I suppose there wouldn't have been anything amazing anyway."

Zed looked to Jamie, although he couldn't remember her name.

"Well, great leader, I suspect we'll have to go find these robotic assistants. Might be a bit of a walk."

With that, the boy started moving to the back of the ship at a jogging pace, looking around for the aforementioned crates. He had thought about the possibility of asking if they could be activated remotely but was more interested in the aesthetics of their objective than the practicality of finding it.

Jamie blinked in surprise at how quickly she was recognized as the Captain. She was expecting more paperwork or something before things would start recognizing her. It seemed to help out for the moment though as she nodded her head and looked over to the crates. If they were going to be living on this ship, it might be a good idea to activate all of those droids. "Thanks" She said to the silver droid and made her way to the white and red crates. After looking them over for a few seconds, the acting captain tried to open the crates and look inside.

Grey looked up from her data absorption after she heard the question voiced by , a thoughtful look on her face. It may have been the Shard's influence, but at that moment she wanted to adjust a non-existent pair of glasses that didn;t exist on her face before giving her own suggestion.

"I... believe we need to get information on what we will be up against... and acquaint ourselves with what we can do. It... would be very bad if we cannot control ourselves now... Yes." She said haltingly, a bit reserved at the moment since she did not know any of the other persons on the ship. Time would remedy that, but for now she was a bit stiff with formality.

Before they hit the button to go down to the training areas, August decided he'd give one last shot to anyone still in the area.

"HOOOOOOOY!~ We're gonna go training to test out our powers and tactics! Anyone who wants to group up with us is welcome to!"

It could never hurt to double check after all.

August turned back to Kaito afterward, visibly annoyed "It's supposed to be "Judge me NOT by my size" and...I'm not that short! Well...okay maybe I am really short, but still!"

At this point, the claims about being little kids felt ironic to Andrew, as the eyeball felt less like Drill Sergeant Nasty and more like an immature brat. Plus the fact that right now, Andrew probably be taller than most humans.

This eye is making me miss gramps.

And the obstacle court being for babies? "If someone tried to let a baby through that, I could see a lawsuit coming" snarked Andrew, "Still, it does look like a decent course."

Maybe he should try the course out, it would be a good way to test out his draconic form. Usually stuff like the mud would make Andrew worry about making his clothes dirty, but he wasn't wearing anything so a shower could just wash everything off his scales.

"Okay, I'll try your obstacle course, as long as you don't say anything while I'm attempting it."

Having spent quite some time searching for a towel to clean the pieces of worm off his armour before finally finding one, Thanasius made his way back to the lift in time to hear August shouting. Sitting down as August pressed the button and the doors closed, he started wiping his breastplate.
“Y'know,” he told August, “you sound like Edward Elric.” A chuckle. “Can I be Alphonse? I can let kittens inside my armour or something!”

Past

It was the end of the work day for Glen. He parked out in his usual spot in the apartment's parking lot and had just fished his guitar case out of his piece of junk used car. As he shut the door on it, he looked at it and let out a heavy sigh. There weren't a lot of things that got him down. Or up for that matter. But his car was quite frequently a source of him feeling down.

"First thing I do when we make it big," he told the car, setting his hand down on the top of the old thing, "Send you off to the scrapyard where you can finally rest in piece."

He patted the hunk of junk, slung the guitar case up on his shoulder, and started walking back to his apartment, not bothering to alarm it since the mechanism for it had long since broken. He had barely taken three steps when a large crash alerted him that something has happened to his car.

Looking back hastily, he made note of the hole towards the front of his roof, the hole towards the bottom of his windshield, and the shard embedded in the hood of his car. His jaw fell slack, the arm holding the strap of his guitar case did so as well. It took a few seconds for him to fully register this, and when it finally did, he let out a rare outburst, "MY CAR!!!"

Thoughts flooded through his head at the moment as he rushed over to inspect the damage. Thoughts such as, "Did it sink in bad?", "Would duct tape be enough to patch the holes?", and more importantly, "Would the car still run?". None of these questions could be answered, as the moment he pricked his finger against the shard in an attempt to get a better look at it, he was sent off and away, leaving nobody the wiser about where he had gone.

Present

Glen later learned of the conflict that he had gotten mixed up in. He considered it bad luck that he had gotten mixed up in all of this, well aware that he wasn't a particularly violent type. Heck, he even avoided games that used a lot of violence! But upon learning that Earth was at stake, Glen felt a sense of obligation to help. There was no way he was going to let all the little dudes and chicks, and all the big dudes and chicks, and everything else in between get destroyed if he could help it!

In the ensuing battle with the sandworms, he very quickly learned that him directly helping the effort wouldn't be happening anytime soon. The shard power that he gained came from an AI, apparently. He introduced himself as Epsilon, but most people called him Church, and he preferred that more. Church was very quick to admit to Glen that he wasn't as dazzling or fantastic as the rest of the group.

"No, you can't shoot lasers out of your eyes. No, you can't spit fire and fly around like a dragon. And no, you don't have a gigantic fucking sword to try and make worm sushi out of them. You've got a gun that I can't fire for shit and, sorry to say, that's all you got.

Glen seemed to have inherited Church's excellent shooting skills and spent most of that battle quaking in fear on the sidelines with Church's voice trying to keep him calm and in control.

When they finally took off, Glen had calmed down for the most part. He had a role to play here, and he wouldn't be any help to anybody if he was a wreck every time something happened. The first step to being useful was figuring just how useful he was. He slung his sniper rifle over his shoulder, wondering how exactly he was going to make that a guitar again, and headed over to the elevator upon hearing August's last minute call.

"Count me in," he said.

"Welcome to the elevator club." Kaito said to the newcomers, putting his hands behind his back. When the comment was made about August's reaction to a previous mention of his height, Kaito couldn't help but smile. "Oh my god. Please tell me that can be an actual thing." He said, leaning forward with a slightly smug smirk. "Shorty?"

Archives

"I was designed to not mind. Unfortunately, this ship has travelled mostly to off-planet bases for refueling and restocking purposes. It is not a ship one would use for exploration." CECIL informed Roland, before spinning around to look at Grey. "I not only have an extensive media collection, but said media can be used with the droid overseeing the training room to design courses tailored for your abilities. Will that suffice, madam?"

Storage

Inside the white and red crates were around twenty box-looking droids made out of smaller cubes. Once Jamie opened the crate, the cubes started lighting up, the lines between them shining yellow as the droids started floating in the air, forming a semi-circle around the captain. "Orders?" They spoke in sync.

Training Room

"Oh, no speaking, huh?!" The ball floated back, laughing, especially as a menacing shadow covered the obstacle course. If the group were to look up, they'd see it wasn't a cloud passing in front of the sun, but a giant, black-scaled dragon, flying above the small arena, landing at the end of the obstacle course and leaning its head down to display its magnificiently sharp fangs. "Good luck with that, then!"

Sijo was silent for a moment. The revelation that only the parts of the Archives that contained information on Dai-Shocker were erased was highly suspicious: either someone did that on purpose- meaning someone had infiltrated their side- or the computer was lying, for some reason. Neither prospect was good...

"We need information on our enemies- their strengths and weaknesses- before we can act" he said to the other people in the archives. "I fear the only way to get it would be to go after Dai-Shocker... not directly, but to sneak around where they have been. Maybe infiltrate them, if we have shapeshifters, telepaths or hackers. Which reminds me, we also need to organize ourselves, get to know our mutual skills. What do you think?"

"I see, that's too bad. I was curious if the former residents and crew members here had actually explored those worlds. Oh well, might as take a look around, for I do not intend on leaving unless we have more pressing matters as well." Roland replied as he began to scour through the vast collection this small part of the ship had contained.

Joe entered the training room just as the black dragon started to make it's descent.

"....Of course."

He hauled out his Mobirate and slotted his Key in.

"Gokai Change!"

GoooooKAIGER!!!!

Seeing the sudden appearance of the dragon, Andrew turned towards the eye and said "I hate you so much right now..."

Before he could enter the course, a certain Sentai warrior rushed in. Part of Andrew wish he had that guy's enthusiasm. While lacking Joe's energy, it didn't stop Andrew from entering the course after him.

Jamie stared into the crate and at the box-like objects for a second before they all suddenly lit up. She stepped back from the crate and watched the box shaped objects float into the air. She was starting to feel a little uncomfortable having the floating droids surrounding her. This was pretty new to her. The blond regained her senses when the droids asked for their orders, at the same time. The captain cleared her throat awkwardly and said "Uhhh...The engines show signs of damage. You all are needed to repair the engines and any other damage to the ship that were recently sustained."

Kaito leaned forward, raising an eyebrow as the elevator doors opened, the group reaching the floor they were going towards. "Does... does anyone else hear a dragon?" He asked, squinting as he made his way to the training room, opening the door... and almost falling flat on his behind. "Holy smokes, IT'S A DRAGON!" He yelled, pointing at the giant red beast inside.

Sijo waited a few moments, but no one else in the archives commented on his suggestions. Either they were ignoring him or they just had nothing to say yet.

Sighing, he got up and said, "I guess I'll go speak with the Captain. I mean, I know she isn't our true leader, but we got to start organizing already. Besides, I want to check out other areas of the ship." Then, looking at the archive's eyeball-like AI, he said "Err, CECIL, was it? Do you know where the Captain is at this moment?"

I sighed. "Sorry, was lost in thought. Anyways, I'm a biologist with electrical powers." And vampirism. "So don't know how much use I'll be, to be honest.Anyways, yeah, captain. I had a few ideas."

Sanne was frankly shaken off a precarious and badly imitated ballet stance when the giant black dragon made landfall. "oh, a dragon... well it is battle training, any tips?"

Wh-What!? no! we're not done, heck, we didn't even start properly!"

"oh come on, its a dragon, I've always wanted to fight one... As soon as we're done I'll come back and practice ok? ok" and she went off, lance summoned, charging at the giant beast, in spite of Pearl's constant nagging.

The elevator began to move. Ukko was slightly scared of the training and thought that he would be tired and beaten after it and wouldn't be able to do much more after it other than rest. The other places were also really interesting and he wanted to visit them all as soon as possible.

"I'll maybe check quickly the other places first. See you in the training area. Excuse me." Ukko said before stepping in the front of August the Short and pressed the button for archives.

At the sound of Kaito's alarm and his stumbling, Glen backed away from the door and drew closer to a wall, thinking he could possibly avoid detection from the dragon inside.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey man, please tell me it's the one that's on our side! I've just barely come down from the worms, I don't think I'm ready to try a dragon!"
