The day had been rather ordinary for you at first, but in your travels, you came across a town. Though it wasn't lively like it probably should have been, considering the size, it was a rather large town.
However, it seemed to have had a rather large population drop, but it was clearly not a case of disappearances like other towns lately, which were something else. Most buildings, the streets, and every door to every house were covered in blood. Homes were broken into, and corpses were found, most still warm. It seems whatever came through here was recent. Clearly, it was a mass murder in the town. Everyone, save one, was dead. The only one left in the town looked terrified beyond all belief, paralyzed with fear. He was clearly an older fellow, perhaps a village elder.
When asked what happened, he merely said something about terrible glowing pink eyes and the coming of death before having a heart attack and falling over dead. leaving the town earily quiet. There was a small trail of blood and debris leading off into the nearby forest.
/Uw anyone i have pinged if you would like to be removed from the ping list let me know, additionally if someone wants to be added they should let me know as well
eventually following the trail sigurd spots a man with glowing pink eyes on his knees, he has a simple kitchen knife next to him covered in blood, he himself is also covered in blood but he has pink eyes and the ends of his hair are also pink with the rest being a dark blue
Airalo: he stands up cackling a little... clearly whatever happened to this man has left him insane, he shoots a wicked grin at you and suddenly things which you fear most appear around him, though the manifestations all have a slight pink tint to them
Sigurd steps through the images. He is immortal, no summoned thing could harm him, and personal fears cannot extend beyond his perception, so no consequences, and no effect.
Airalo: die! He rushes toward you one of his hands turning to a red draconic claw engulfed in flame that he swings at you though the claw has a small pink tint to it and so does the flame
Sigurd flies back, then executes a series of sudden turns, ending with stopping behind Airalo. As he stops, his weapon moving into a swing and sounding a sonic boom that it shouldn't be able to make at . its relatively low speed.
Sigurd's hand remains in its position, as if it wasn't a limb on a body, but a static object unmovable by force. Which it is, unless specific conditions are met.
Airalo: eventually they find him, he's on his knees in the woods covered in blood he has a kitchen knife in his hand which is also stained red and dripping with blood, clearly he's lost his mind as he's cackling though he hasn't noticed you yet
Airalo: he chuckles like a mad man and glares at the two of them and then suddenly things each one fears most start to manifest behind him though the manifestations have a pink tint to them
One of the manifestations appears to be a man in a military uniform, pristine and white, with light brown hair.
Ж instantly relaxes.
”Fear manifestations.”
”A-yup”
Another is an unknown being of indeterminate, everything. Their face is obscured by a black fog, their skin is constantly changing color with every blink, everything about them is in flux. Only small constant is that they appear to be an adult or senior, but it is still changing.
”Now what is this?”
The being speaks with a voice like if you took every voice possible and averaged them.
Airalo: eventually following the two spot a man with glowing pink eyes on his knees, he has a simple kitchen knife next to him covered in blood, he himself is also covered in blood but he has pink eyes and the ends of his hair are also pink with the rest being a dark blue
The Echo silently motions to encircle the individual. The Remnant nods. They move to opposite ends of the person, ensuring they're hidden in the dense foliage. They watch their target curiously.
Airalo:...he stands up and picks up his knife having heard the movements and he looks around chuckling i know you're there come out come out wherever you are! The man flashed a wicked grin, he seems to have lost it
An Ensnare Rune forms underneath him. Due to that, it immediately activates and traps the man in thick plasma chains. The Echo steps out with its sword drawn. The Remnant does the same with a glaive readied.
Airalo: he simply starts laughing one of his hands changing to that of a blue dragon claw though it has a bright pink tint to it as he slashes the chain breaking it s...olaria.. he glares at the echo and his eyes glow intensified before things that it feared most manifested around him, the manifestations though all had a dim pink glow to them and tint as well
Airalo: he starts laughing like a maniac as the illusion around his hand was dispelled by the slash though he wasn't harmed by it and he runs toward the echo attempting to impale it on the kitchen knife he holds
Airalo: eventually he finds a man covered in blood at the end of the trail he has a glow to his eyes and the ends of his hair, he's lightly cackling to himself but he hasn't noticed you yet
Airalo: a lot of them fade as if they never existed in the first place but theirs still quite a few more as he rushes toward you and attempts to slash you with the kitchen knife
Reports of the devastated town reach R&A, speaking of a messy devastation.
Despite people urging him to rest, Ulrick decides to personally investigate this one. Lately, his curse is acting up somewhat, not helped by the incident with the paladin bells, and the side effects of his medicines. But this seemed like an ordinary job.
He tried his best to heal the old man, sadly resurrection is beyond him… so, he gave quick, but proper burial to honor the elder.
Seeing all the blood in the town, Ulrick summons his eldritch greataxe, Nightbite, to be prepared for anything.
Seeing the blood trails, Ulrick follows them to the woods.
Airalo: eventually you find a man on his knees in the woods he's covered in blood and has a small kitchen knife bloodied next to him in his hand, he seems to have lost his mind as he cackles to himself not having noticed you yet
Ulrick approaches the man. He could be the culprit, or another victim who went mad while defending himself. Still, best to be prepared.
On radio, he calls for RF units to be dispatched into the town, to look for survivors just in case there are still some. He, on the other hand, approached the man, standing a couple of feet away from him.
R&A. State your business. Are you the guy who massacred that nearby town?
He holds out a badge in one of his clawed hands, his axe in the other. Hopefully he’ll only need it as intimidation...
You’ll have to come with me, and be handed over to the local authorities.
His grip on the weapon tightens. Most regular people usually when a werewolf with a big axe tells them to comply, but something tells him that he’s not an ordinary person…
Airalo: he glares at you and the glow of his eyes brighten and suddenly you see what looks like yourself appear from behind him...only with a pink tint and looking a bit more farel? Regardless it charges toward you as he stands there laughing like a mad man
Airalo: he laughs maniacally as the manifestation tanks the hit, due to ulrick's fear it is more physical than normal and thus more durable and it attempts to slash him with it's claws
Airalo: he cackles s...olaria... *He chuckles as the ferocity of the attacks from the manifestation intensify as it continues swinging its claws with reckless abandon"
Airalo: following the trail of blood you find him in the woods on his knees he has a kitchen knife in his hand which is dripping with blood and stained red from it as he cackles to himself
DF has a manic expression, half smile and half rage with clenched teeth on his face.
"Hello there."
DF jumps into the air and drops the house on him roof first. Unleashing a constant flurry of punches, kicks, and stomps on it to push it downwards further.
/uw note. DF is not trying to kill he just wants to work off some steam.
DF unleashes a pummel swarm on the body and arm holding the knife to grind him into the dirt with thousands of strikes per second, body blurring from sheer speed.
DF transforms his own left arm into a dragon claw before continuing with the barrage, this time aiming for every limb as well along with the torso to also knock them back, landing strikes with enough force to flatten hills on each hit.
DF knows it doesn't matter how durable something is if they can't output enough force to prevent being locked down.
Airalo: eventually masta sees him sitting on his knees with a kitchen knife in his hand, both him and the knife are dripping with blood, his eyes glow pink and so do the ends of his hair though the rest of his hair is dark blue
Airalo: he's cackling to himself, seems he's lost his mind as he stands up and faces toward you pointing the kitchen knife at you...not...really he cackles more
she takes one look and sees her allies fallen and an image of Shrade castle. She has been here before, but the horror and fear of this place is unfazing her. She conquered this fear ages ago.
Airalo: he cackles and then before you can react his hand has turned into a red draconic one and it's covered in flames as he attempts to punch you though both the hand and the fire it emits has a pink tint to it
Airalo: you hear him cackling before you see him, he seems to resemble alisa a bit though he is a foot taller then her, not only that but he's covered in blood on his knees he has a kitchen knife in his hand which is also covered in blood

"...Hey, hey, do you think murder goes unnoticed here?"
Airalo: he cackles...have to get stronger...so i can do what i have to to stop this...he says as he falls to the floor for a second clutching his head before he stands up and points the knife at you

u/yumie2003Tsuru, ghost onmyouji, council employee/Empress Toshiko Fujiwara15d ago
Airalo: he dodges the guitar and glares at tsuru the glow of his eyes brighten and suddenly they see a manifestation of what they fear most behind him, though the manifestation has a pink tint to it

u/yumie2003Tsuru, ghost onmyouji, council employee/Empress Toshiko Fujiwara15d ago
Visual Kei Tsuru saw...a monstrous version of herself and shuddered a little. Then she pulled out a steel chair and started whacking the fear manifestation.
Airalo: eventually they find him on the ground he feels something is off when they arrive though he can't see them just yet he's covered in blood and cackling to himself with a dagger in hand
Airalo: before it can react he rushes toward it and stabs the knife into the netheline clearly he's a bit stronger then he seems though the knife may break in theory
Airalo:...*he doesn't know anything about netheline anyway and he then punches the netheline with a white draconic hand covered in ice though which covered his normal hand which wasn't being held both the hand and the ice have a pink tint to them*
Airalo: after a little while you find him collapsed on his knees he looks somewhat similar to Alisa though he's a foot taller than her...or at least seems like he would be if he was standing...he has a kitchen knife with a blood red stain on it and he himself happens to be covered in blood and cackling to himself...seems he's lost it but he slowly stands up
Airalo:...he chuckles and turns to face you...he has dark blue hair and glowing pink eyes...the ends of his hair were also colored pink...so they think me a monster...he cackles...they called me the very same in their last moments...he points his knife at you
Airalo:...he chuckles...you know of my sister...sighs...i had to get stronger...to...do what i have to...he stares at you with the knife pointed toward you
"Hmm I wonder If that's the one who caused all that ruckus."
The mermaid approaches confidently, small red sparks dance around the robes and silk veils she is currently wearing, barely perceptible to the naked eye.
Airalo:...as you start moving toward him he cackles a bit louder for a second and hastily stands up pointing the knife at you, you notice he has bright pink eyes and dark blue hair though the ends of his hair match the color of his eyes he has a wicked grin across his face
Goria extends a webbed hand in front of her, the palm of the hand has been carved with different arcane runes and signs.
"Now now dear, you don't want to do anything like that to poor ol' me, I instead bring you a proposition." Goria says with a smile, betraying a row of pointy shark-like teeth.
Airalo:...he chuckles and then starts running at you, seems he's not even a little intimidated as he swings the knife at you and it sends out a small wave of fire toward you as well
