Rubs Hands

Ties Blackbeard to a Tree (edited)

Rubs Hands

@Blackbeard (@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat) - jump Francis would cock his M1911A1 into the back of Blackbeards head, "I may willingly shell orphanages but even this is too far."

"Why!? I was just rubbing my hands after a job well done!?"

“Archer can you watch Rider, don’t let him out of your sight.”

"If he steps out of line we'll just say the forest unfortunately had a branch that missed detection. Unfortunate but in the chaos of war, it happens."

"Oh come on! You guys owe me! and you treat me like this?? Me? The Nicest Guy on this Planet!?"

"The Nicest Guy on this world is our Lord and Savour Jesus Christ." Francis played with his revolver, "Don't think you can compare with him."

“I don’t quite agree with Archer but you need to rein yourself in.”

"Oh don't let the bloody Catholics find out. They'll nail you to a cross," Francis joked.

"Listen buddy, if I wanted to do some shit I could have just done it on the Ship. Don't think I couldn't just have kicked all of you off if I wanted to. Really, I provide you shelter and some time to rest and this is how you treat me..."

"Honestly?" Francis grinned. "I'm just doing this because it's fun to watch you squirm. I've seen dying men squirm better though."

"Oh don't let the bloody Catholics find out. They'll nail you to a cross," Francis joked.

@Francis Pegahmagabow | Ghost of the Trenches (@TheInsanityThatLiesOutside) - jump “Usually it was the other way around during my time.” yaedogsus

"I can break these cuffs."

“Usually it was the other way around during my time.” yaedogsus

@Lucius Tiberius Sword Emperor of Rome (@Sophie, Mary, Nito, Gorgon, Boud) - jump "Well you did create a aspect of a God by doing so..."

Getting out of the forest, Mochizuki let out a soft sigh. Tilting her head from one side to the other she made a quick prayer of thanks before looking over to the others. "Thank you for assistance. This is however the last mission we will be serving together under within this forest." Mochizuki spoke up, closing her eyes for just a moment. "It has become clear that I was little more than a dead weight in this mission, requiring to not only be constantly protected by also saved from certain doom. I apologize for that."

12:59 PM

"I'll be returning to Chaldea."

"I can break these cuffs."

@Blackbeard (@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat) - jump "I don't know, Pirate," Francis emptied out his revolver save for a single round and spun the cylinder so nobody knew what was loaded when he pulled the trigger, "I'd expect men like you to enjoy bondage."

"That's a shame, It's going to be a pure noodle party without you around.." He responded to Mochi, then looked to Francis. "Well.. I guess you are a solid.. 5/10..?"

". . ." The woman sighed, shaking her head before finally taking off the jacket given to her by Francis. Folding it neatly, she then passed it to the Archer with a nod. "I appreciate it."

"Didn't know you swung that way, pirate," Francis laughed as he raised his revolver up to take aim. "Then again, like I said before, all's fair in love and war."

Reaching into his coat Lucius pulls out one of Nidhogg’d tails and placed it in riders mouth “I’m going to report to my master about what happened.”

"You're welcome Assassin, come back when you're stronger. It's not fun when you die the moment you get into a fight. Though it sure does make for a good temporary sandbag."

@TheInsanityThatLiesOutside

Result: 1d6 (3) Total: 3

Are you sure you want to put something in Blackbeards mouth? You're not gonna get it back.

Click Empty. "Lucky." he looked at the two sleeping, "But I'll be kind and let them sleep a bit longer."

1:03 PM

"You a betting man, Pirate?"

Blackbeard

Are you sure you want to put something in Blackbeards mouth? You're not gonna get it back.

~~Changes it for the Acid organ~~

". . ." Taking in a deep breath. Mochizuki looked between both Blackbeard and Francis before... Make me both a Wisdom save.

@Blackbeard (@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat) - jump Suddenly as Blackbeard ate it a massive dragon erupted out of his stomach. "IM FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

~~"WHERES THAT BITCH KAMA I GOT A WORD TO SAY TO THAT NONCE."~~

Francis, you're fine.

1:06 PM

". . . I'll leave you lot be now. Stop bickering as much if you plan to keep going back into the forest."

1:06 PM

With that, she left.

Blackbeard can merely nod frantically after Mochi... poor him.

"Oh curses." Francis said. "How exciting. But don't cast it on me next time. You never know where a branch might suddenly appear under your feet and break your skin, I don't know, ten times? Hundred times?"

"This is exactly I used it on you."

1:07 PM

And off she goes.

"Friendly fire." he said, "Always coming from the one you suspect least."

“I’m leaving to go report my findings to my Master, farewell” Lucius also left

@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat( Enjoy 10 minutes of silence. )

Blackbeard raised his Eyebrow at Peggy. From his Perspective, Friendly Fire is most definetly coming from the one he suspects the most.

@Blackbeard (@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat) - jump Francis walked up to Blackbeard with a cruel smile on his face, "Just me and you now, Pirate." Francis played with the hilt of his dagger in his pocket.

1:08 PM

"Tell me, do you want to play a game? Pirate's always love games."

The Pirate rolls his eyes, and he's had enough of being tied up. It's time to flex his superior Pirate Captain muscles!

"Oh fun." Francis said. "Looks like he doesn't like bondage at all."

With his Brute Strenght, he's freeing himself from his restraints! He'd boast about if we could. But he does look very smug about it. Like he's saying 'thats right, I could have done that at any time.' He winks at Peggy.

"Breaking free from man-made rope as a servant is impressive?"

Wow, he's sulking now. He can never win with these people.. Really, how mean, how rude! He shoulda just taken the Lady and escaped on his own! He shakes his head, truly. These People don't deserve him. Fine then, if his Companion wants to threaten him with that puny knife then.. He'll go ahead and attempt to grab Peggys hand to stab himself with it, better to just go ahead and get it over with than drag this out. This play has become a bore to him, who does this Archer think he is? Able to intimidate Blackbeard, the most feared Pirate? Hell no.

"Unfortunate," Francis snapped the Knife just out of reach and sheath it. There was annoyance on his face. "Don't ruin it just like that. Taking yourself out. Where's the conflict in that? Where are the two people who want nothing more then to kill each other? Where's the human nature in snuffing it out yourself and not letting anyone else have pleasure in it? Pleasure and plunder, that's what you want don't you?"

Oh he can't be serious. That Knife? Take him out? How Insulting. If he could speak right now he's tell this Archer just how wrong he is... Well, alas. All he can do is charades. And he ain't suicidal! Just wanted to prove a point..! He hits his chest with his fist proudly. He's a Pirate, That's what they're about.

"Ha! That's more like it. Rage, my friend, rage against it all. And take those rage out of women children, men, I don't care. So long as indiscriminate carnage is all you leave in your wake."

Hmph. Well, It's not gonna be indiscriminate, but he can't really get into it with the curse that was put on him.. Oh well, He got cursed by a Hot Girl, that's basically like making out right? Score.

"Oh?" Francis grinned, "Haven't you had your share of killing people. Many of them innocents that never had a choice? Heh. Tell me, and I know you can't talk so this just makes it all the better, how did it feel when you took their lives?" @Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat

"Ah, with all due respect mister Francis, I believe you are wasting your time. I can see what kind of person that my fellow Rider is here, and I have to say it! I'm a 200% sure that he's the kind of person that doesn't even think about that! Pillaging, murdering, commiting dubious acts! It is second nature to such a man!" *Taikoubou infers and intrudes into the discussion between the two, while taking a moment to revise his own wounds, as well as retouching his mystic secrets *

a Dumb Smile and a Thumbs up, that's what he's giving Taigong. Why would he care about any of that?

Poof. It's gone.

8:46 PM

Blackbeard has been once again unleashed against the world.

8:46 PM

Hide your females.

Ha, as if! He can't take maidens from me... If I too am maidenless! Checkmate Beardie.

"You guys are noisy." Coming out from her tent, was the blue haired woman, enforcer/magus Forte carrying her sword by her hip. Her clothes that had tears all over the place seemed to have healed already, returning it to its proper shape. 

"We can go now. Back to the city. Unless you want to dive into the forest once more?

She'd ask the heroic spirits.

"Well the trope of the forest itself attacking you is getting a tad cliche so I've got my interests otherwhere for the time being," Francis was packing up with his rifle resting on his shoulder, "Get a good nap, I trust?" @Ma|Resur|Anastasia|King| C

She'd naturally ignore his question as she simply stretched her arms, softly letting out a feminine sound before she sighed and patted her legs as if taking out the dust out of it. 

"And where does that interest lie?"

She'd ask, engaging him nevertheless.

7:47 AM

@TheInsanityThatLiesOutside

"Someone to kill that Chaldea has so conveniently chosen to die that I can actually see the life flicker off. Branches are fun and all with the blood they draw, but like I said before. Get's a tad old after a bit. But maybe after freshening my pallet I'll take another go at it." he spoke like he was talking like an afternoon hobby or discussing the latest Sports Team fad at a pub with friends. "Don't tell me you don't take some modicum of pleasure in your job, ma'am." @Ma|Resur|Anastasia|King| C

"I am not following."

She'd respond as she continued to stretch, gently reaching out her arms to her feet while her legs remained straightened. 

"Pleasure, huh? Not really. My job is the one thing I've done in my entire life. It's as simple as how my blood flows."

7:54 AM

@TheInsanityThatLiesOutside

"You wouldn't get it. Not your type of hobby I expect," Francis said, "Well same here. All it took was one day at the recruiting station and ooops, several hundred people are dead. Funny how that works. Getting the blood flowing is all good and there's nothing bad in just doing your job, but what's the harm in just... letting yourself go a bit. Having a bit of fun as you do it. Makes you much better at your job if you take enjoyment in it, trust me, ma'am." He smiled. "It's a lot better all around when you find a bit of fun in your place of work. Doesn't make it so drab and repetitive." @Ma|Resur|Anastasia|King| C

"I don't understand how skillful you are in wasting your breath in such unnecessary manner."

Forte crossed her arms, flipping her hair off her shoulder as she continued. Her tone maintained a cool and calm tone, and yet she was truly perturbed at the unusual way of speaking of the Archer. 

"And if that truly is the case, then I should've perished back then. Skills are skills Archer. If you let such "enjoyment" affect your performance, then you are letting many other factors affect it as well. Such as the lack of it. The most important in this line of job is being consistently at your best, whether you enjoy it or not. What matters are the results after all."

She'd say this with a casual smile, although this was not a return to Francis's own smile, but a smirk from her own words.

@TheInsanityThatLiesOutside

"One does indeed tend to talk long about their passions," he shrugged, "And so can one find some modicum of excitement at performing at your very best. It's the best incentive alongside the results. You find it your way, I find mine by perfecting the act of war to its upmost in the service of my Masters."

"That's the point Archer. You rely on excitement and passion to operate at your best, but I do not. If I find something exciting, then I operate as I always do. And if I do not find such excitement, I operate in my best anyways. You flower your words with passion and exhilaration, but when there is a lack of it, where do you find yourself? Looking for it."

She answered, as she found herself a simple rock and crossed her legs elegantly, and was amused with continuing her words towards the Archer class.

"At that point, you believe yourself always operating your best, but in truth, you will not be, due to your mindset. Despite all the proclamations of ones mental resistance, in the end, there is no such thing as perfect. You will fall out of your best. But do not worry, I am not telling you to change your mindset. You are as free as the wind to work as you wish, as you said that you find enjoying your work as you work it as necessary. I am simply stating the fact that it is not. It is not whether you enjoy your work, it is whether you will do it anyways."

Satisfied, she reached out for her pocket to reveal a pocket watch, which she would smile on. 

"She would be returning soon. We will have to move."

12:35 PM

@TheInsanityThatLiesOutside

"Hmph." he nodded in agreement, "You may be more right than even I realize. I'm not a fool to adjust my views so long as the core of it remains. War is my being and war is what I have left. I'll make do with it and spread it to every inch of this world as is my nature, human nature. Either with a grin or a grim look, I'll carry it out. Maybe even when I hate it."

11:45 AM

"I don't think I'll be leaving then. My theater of war has been chosen. You and your leaders wage war against this forest. And where there is conflict, is where I am." "Yes, I have nothing to pack up. Ready to move when you are."

11:45 AM

@Ma|Resur|Anastasia|King| C

"Here you are and your romantic words, Archer. Words that seemed complicated but aren't really, but I don't really care. To be honest you don't have to follow me, I forgot something in the city after all. Tell Bazett I head back earlier."

She says as she began moving forward.
