THE OLD GUARD (2020) :: RP STARTERS :: PT. I .

i've been here before, over and over again.

is this it? will this time be the one?

each time the same answer. and i'm just so damn tired of it.

that couldn't have been cheap.

we don't do repeats. you know that.

admit it. you missed us.

it's a job. we can do some good.

some good means nothing.

i don't know about this. we're not helping.

they reached out to me and i'm reaching out to you.

your team's the best we've ever seen.

you can name your price.

we'll invoice you when it's done.

everyone still with me?

we've been set up.

we did it for the right reasons.

we've done nothing.

the world isn't getting any better, it's getting worse.

we have to tie this thing off.

the world can burn for all i care.

look at all this shit. it's jackpot.

stay with me. just look at me.

not another one. not now.

we're the ones who are exposed.

you can't tell me you don't remember what it was like.

they're more alone than they've been in their entire life.

that makes them a beacon straight to us.

i'll handle the retrieval.

i know i saw them die.

adrenaline was flying everyone was seeing shit they didn't.

a little blood can look like a lot.

you'd rather we sent them home in a body bag?

so let's see the trophy.

there was an unanticipated amount of carnage.

these are extraordinary individuals. they are extremely resistant to capture.

why does it have to be so goddamn slow the first couple of times?

i need you to get back in the car please.

you haven't figured this out yet?

you can't die.

can you please not do that again?

you want answers? get back in the car.

sometimes you gotta work with people you don't wanna eat with.

they stabbed me, so i think they've got potential.

you know, there was a time where i was worshipped as a god.

don't worry, i can't do shit like that.

oh, guess we really do need a pilot.

just keep following that illogic. you're already on board with the supernatural.

i said we're done.

we fight for what we think is right.

it's because we're meant to find each other.

more like misery loves company.

nothing that lives, lives forever.

lost the plot after that.

i strongly recommend that we leave right now.

they've forgotten more ways to kill than entire armies will ever learn.

we are usually a better judge of character.

just because we keep living doesn't mean we stop hurting.

the only way is forward now.

they will beg you to share it with them and you won't be able to.

they will tell you that your love is weak, or selfish.

you will never forget the hate and despair in their eyes.

you will know what it's like to lose everyone you've ever loved.

your business is yours.

you need help. what does it matter why?

today, i put this on your wound. tomorrow, you help someone up when they fall.

we're not meant to be alone.

it's not what time steals. it's what it leaves behind.

they can't teach you how to live with it.

you and me. now and always.

it wasn't your gift to give.

i've seen it. i know all the good you've done.

we don't get a say in when it ends, we never have.

but we can control how we live.

go big or go home.

you reminded me there are people still worth fighting for.

the good you've done for humanity becomes exponential.

it's nearly impossible to disappear in the world today.

we don't have all the answers but we do have purpose.

"Yeah...I suppose that's true."

*Bas was glad that they realised he was just trying to help. It wasn't often he got to do this kind of thing so the male wanted to give them the best that he could. After all it's not like he had a lot of friends outside his workplace and even then the Paripus wasn't sure if many of them counted. So all this was just to say thank you.*

"The only family I have left is Del...not sure about the others so I get wanting to be by their side no matter what."

*Well this was not something the Paripus expected but he guessed it would be fine for them to share the rooms if that's what made them feel more at home.*

"Yeah, of course it would be fine. I suppose I just went overboard huh..? I thought you would want to have a lot of space but I get it, once you're used to something it's hard to enjoy something else. It was like that for me when I first joined but I guess after a while I stopped noticing it. Do what feels right for you lot."

[muses-galore]

*Seeing Ruka's confused look Akihiko decided to explain to him as he passed the spare gloves to him.*

"You don't have to worry, just hit the bag with all your strength. Right now you don't have to worry about techniques or stances. I just want to know how much of a punch you can deal with no guidance, after all I won't be able to teach you if I don't know what you can do already. So give it everything you've got."

*The male had repeated himself but it was to give Ruka the confidence to even attempt striking a blow, after all if he couldn't hit a stationary target there would be a lot of issues trying to fight someone who was able to dodge out of the way.*

"I'll keep that in mind and the same goes to you. If you're ever in trouble call me and I'll come running."

*Well Akihiko would use whatever he had at his disposal to get there as quick as possible but the sentiment was there. Although with that said Aki would lead Ruka to the first floor, where all the male members stayed and into his room.

There were multiple strength training instruments all around the room but for now they would be seeing what Ruka could do with the punching bag without any advice. It was necessary to know just how much he would be able to do with the few days the two had here.*

"Well for now show me what you got. I have spare gloves for you so you don't have to worry."

[muses-galore]

" I wish there were a lot more people like you out there...I doubt we'd even be in this mess if there were."

*Hearing someone, anyone say such things made Basilio really happy. His red eyes threatening to let tears fall but the male managed to avoid crying completely.*

"Definitely, that we we can suprise everyone and make it that no one has to deal with this sort of pain any more. A snack and a treat, a fun combination once it's done."

@muses-galore from

Hazel gave a light laugh, "sounds like a plan to me. Is that what you and Fidelio do too?"

Seemed like a safer option than the old stool she kept to use.

[muses-galore]

*After a while the Charadrius would be above Grand Trad. Louis had given will a considerable amount of time to investigate the matter and now it was his turn. First things first, he sought out his informants to see if they had anything useful for him. Of course the male also knew news of his arrival would spread like wildfire and figured Will would eventually come to him and so did not actively seek her out just yet.*

@muses-galore continued from

"You are correct that the world is also wrong, but the two are not mutually exclusive. There can still be something wrong with you as well as the world," Will answered.

To be honest she didn't remember where she had heard the term before but did remember that who had used it had done so in a similar manner and Will had found it hilarious. After hearing about some of the ideas of strength and the kind of world the other seemed to want to make real she couldn't help but speak her mind on it.

[muses-galore]

"Not special effects but training equipment...I suppose there's no one to enforce me keeping secrets here so I'll say it. The school is more of an army barracks if I think about it and we have specialised vr training machines. That's why if you had said it was a game I would have believed you."

*Takumi hadn't realised just how much being in Last Defence Academy had taken a toll on him. After talking to someone who has nothing to do with it he understood how insane it would sound but the fact was he didn't care, he needed someone, anyone to understand the hell they were going through.*

"I only know parts of it but all of us in the academy have a special type of blood that we can manipulate in order to fight. This is what we need to activate it properly."

*Takumi would take out his dagger and show it to her. He said properly as there were other ways to draw out this power of theirs but it was riskier than the method they used. However both methods were macabre so the male didn't dare discuss them out in public.*

@atlus-muses continued from here: X

"I should be thanking you. If you hadn't reacted on time I don't know what would have happened. What were those creatures anyway?"

*While Takumi was used to fighting invaders whatever had attacked them was not an invader, it was something completely different. That being said it seemed he could still use his class armor to fight them off so that was a relief. However he still had to be saved last minute and so this was him repaying her for that.*

[muses-galore]

"Of course, I'd appreciate the help so whenever you want to join me I won't mind."

*Truth be told he hadn't expected anyone to join him in preparing the curry. His skills were passable but they weren't anything to write about. So Akihiko doubted anyone would actually be interested in helping him out. As such he was actually enjoying himself as he finished cutting the last piece of chicken they would need.*

[For Akihiko] As Akihiko was in the kitchen, making a meal with…a frankly absurd amount of protein powder, Aigis stood at the doorway.

“Greetings, Akihiko-san. May I ask what are you doing?” She asked, looking at his cooking attempts. “Are you preparing a meal?”

( - @antishadowsuppressionunit )

"Oh, hi Aigis. Yeah, I was actually preparing some curry. I figured it would be the right time to make it. I should be finished soon. Was there something you needed me for?"

*Akihiko did wonder if he was being too loud while preparing the meal or was it that he was needed? He was pondering the many possible reasons why Aigis came into the kitchen but figured it would just be easier for her to explain what the reason was herself.*

@antishadowsuppressionunit

[muses-galore]

"I suppose heating the pan would be next. I'm nearly done with the chicken so that would help a lot."

@antishadowsuppressionunit

[muses-galore]

"I suppose it's because it's nutritious and warm. Something that can be used to replenish energy also it's easy to store to use for another day if prepared properly."

*Akihiko listed off the reasons why he wanted to make curry as he watched Aigis cut the vegetables. He was surprised at just how precise her cutting skills were but there was still work to be done so the male would prepare the chicken which would be the meat for the curry this time.*

[muses-galore]

"Sure, I don't mind. I was just starting anyway."

*Akihiko would let her prepare some of the vegetables and other ingredients. After all what was the worst thing that could happen?*

"Ah no it's fine, I was the one who brought it up in the first place. Still though, I didn't know that there were people even looking...I thought most didn't really care about the experiments and the ones that did were treated just as bad as we were. So thanks again, I've been sayin' that a lot to you today but I mean it every time.

Maybe we can work on that together as well. It could help not only Del but everyone else who had to deal with the shite those tests brought."

Hazel gave a light laugh, "sounds like a plan to me. Is that what you and Fidelio do too?"

[muses-galore]

"You laugh but I probably would have bought it."

*Well when you're used to VR training being that realistic it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to believe it was a new training module that Sirei or someone made.*

"I suppose it's special type of blood that I can use to fight."

"I don't know if it's right for me to say this but you're being too hard on yourself. I can only go by what I know of you now and not the memories you have of your last hundred days but from what I've seen you're always putting others first. So when you have to make a choice you shouldn't shoulder all the responsibility yourself.

Also you're wrong to think I'm wearing myself by offering to help you. It's something I've thought about a lot recently and it's what I want to do. So please, don't feel like you have to make all the choices on your own. I'm here and I'm sure the others will feel the same way."

"Maybe we can find a way to protect everyone together? After all there's no way of knowing if a choice is good or bad until it's too late but I know you always make ones that feels right at the time. You made the choice to go back and redo these hundred days since it seemed like the right thing to do."

*Shion hoped that he was making sense to Takumi but this was how he felt about the situation. He wanted to help everyone survive and enjoy themselves.*

[muses-galore]

*Well this was not something the Paripus expected but he guessed it would be fine for them to share the rooms if that's what made them feel more at home.*

"Yeah, of course it would be fine. I suppose I just went overboard huh..? I thought you would want to have a lot of space but I get it, once you're used to something it's hard to enjoy something else. It was like that for me when I first joined but I guess after a while I stopped noticing it. Do what feels right for you lot."

*Basilio didn't quite catch everything so he was unsure what had just happened but hearing they wanted to see the rooms he picked himself up and got ready to move.

The living quarters were more elaborate the higher in rank a person was. Normally this would mean the group would have been stuck sharing with strangers but Bas pulled some strings to make sure they got one of the higher ranked accommodations. Although he had to obviously do a few things in return, not that he told his new friends that.*

"I hope you like 'em."

"You don't have to look at me like that, I just know that if I didn't say it you would waste time with some preamble. I'm just saving us both from that torture, although I'm happy to know you know how to follow instructions.

Anyway, I wanted to know more about your first time here. After all it's thanks to that I'm even in this current situation so you do owe me that much."

*Eito dramatically gestured his hand to the cage he found himself stuck living in. Although truth be told it wasn't all bad but for now he was going to play it up and see what exactly would Takumi let slip.*

eito aotsuki ( @muses-galore ) said: "I'd like to have an intelligent conversation with you. In other words, shut up."

"Huh...?" The sharp words somehow caught him off guard. Why? He didn't quite know. He knew Eito hated him, but it took him a few too many seconds for him to actually muster up a glare in response. It was another painful reminder that their 'friendship' had all been a lie.

His gaze shifted from surprised to a small glare. He doesn't bother responding. He just stares at him and waits for him to say whatever the hell he wanted.
