Popular Post Buorhann Posted February 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) On a typical dark and stormy (And boring) night in Orbis, a lone figure sits at a table - drinking and contemplating. A knife carving into the wood of the table, various acronyms that if one was to look close enough could resemble past alliances and wars that had made the world interesting. Nowadays, peace had all but placated the world. There were no saviors in the world anymore, or so the figure thought - most, if not all, had been subdued into retirement or forced into subservience of the Immortal One. The plan was to retire and let new leaders come aboard to continue making the world interesting, but who would have thought a long reign of peace could be so detrimental? “The Resource Change had killed wars!” Cried out a Who Me. “We must disband EMC and start anew!” Cried out The Knights. “We do not trust the disbanding and must consolidate further!” The minions of the Immortal One cry out. Those were some of the thoughts spoken out, but the silent ones… the silent ones remained so. Nothing had been done. Only a select few had stirred conflict, attempting to break the silence and refresh the world. The warriors of da Wei tried their best, twice, but nothing kept. It was the best effort, until one was caught in a plot. Assassins having their hand caught in the cookie jar by the Templars. It was a honest mistake, but a mistake the Templars quickly squashed. Even the Nothinging ended up as… nothing. Silence. Finishing his drink, the figure sighed. The days of shitposting, propaganda, and long threads were gone, replaced by Advertisements of alliances desperately seeking new players, Lordaeron mass posting, and nothing much else. Not even a pirate’s comic could save this world. Most of the world’s populace had succumbed to boredom and none desired to step out against it. Just as the large figure stood up from his seat, the door had opened with a shadowy lean figure under it’s frame. The two stared at each other for a moment. Unspoken words between the two causing the large one to settle back down, his hand extended out offering the seat across from him to the shadowy one. The two settled down, ordering drinks for themselves, with a few sips taken here and there in silence. The flames from the nearby fireplace flickering around haphazardly, eventually revealing the figures of the Snake and the Hippo. “There’s something coming and I need you.” The Snake opened up with. “We’re going to be moving against the Immortal One.” “And I figured you were here to reminisce over good times…” Hippo had replied quietly. “Why the Immortal One?” The Snake chose not to reply, only gauging the Hippo’s interests by observing his body language. The Hippo didn’t expect an honest answer, for he understood the suspicious nature of his past comrade. Nowadays you couldn’t speak a word in private without it returning to the others. There were many who sought fame to be “the one” to achieve forum status by being the informant. Loyalty was only given to the two powerhouses of the world, the rest did not matter. But there was a lingering thought in the back of the Hippo’s mind. What if this was just a simple smokescreen? What if the Snake was just seeing if the Hippo was the least bit interested? Maybe the real plan hasn’t come out. Yet that particular statement did garner some interest. There was one among the Immortal One’s ranks that the Hippo had missed. These two had history, and it was a good opportunity to see where the Snake was going with this. The missing link of Orbis conflict, the one constantly gagged and restrained, the one who would back up her Daddy. Twice had this fair lady got herself in conflict with no assistance, yet at his beck and call - her Daddy would always pull her to his side. It was obvious that this one needed to be saved. “I’m in, under one condition.” The Hippo finally broke the silence with his reply. “I do this for Princess Kastor.” Riding back with the Snake to the camp grounds, the Hippo was introduced to the rest of the 20. Pirates, previous Chaos aligned fighters, and some old comrades. It was a gathering of fond memories. Some of these the Hippo had looked at them as past annoyances and enemies, and others he fondly remembered the trusted bonds as they fought side by side. Yet each of these, the Hippo knew they could throw down, or go down trying. This would be a time of remembrance. 22 riding out against the consolidated Horde, all for their own individual reasons, but all just to have fun.

Popular Post Buorhann Posted February 7, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) Evening was falling. The Riders of the Snake positioned at a distance, waiting for the time to move. With one fluid motion… ...everybody moved out. The Hippo made his message clear as he rampaged through the camps of his targets... Even when they retaliated, the Hippo was clear with his determination… His Mensan reputation, clearly causing fear in the hearts of his enemies to perform desperate actions. All this… ...For Princess Kastor! Edited February 7, 2018 by Buorhann 31 Quote Warrior of Dio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfPCFQfOnLg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
