Meido's Vacation in The Netherworld RP thread

[Xian Nox]

This is a RP thread, in other words, a role-playing forum game. Everybody is free to join, however, please first PM me or jc_gargma and ask for permission. If you are serious and responsible, you will be permitted to join.
Spamming in this thread will not be tolerated.

So then, let us begin...

From somewhere, a conversation...
...
Xian Nox: Everybody is welcome in the Netherworld, including you, a Half-Angel, Half-Soul Vampire, so if you want to spend your holiday somewhere warm, please come. I shall arrange everything for you.
jc_gargma: Thank you, I'll keep that in mind.
Xian Nox: I won't eat you, I promise (although Angels taste good) and nobody else would try that, don't worry. I can guarantee your safety.
jc_gargma: I appreciate that. Be nice to go by Hell and not have to be under the radar.
... The static rises up. Once everything clears, a hideous song is to be heard in the background.
jc_gargma: I ban you because, you let me know that when I take a trip to hell, to take an mp3 player along. Not sure how long I'd be able to take the ambience. *giggles*
Xian Nox: That's not Hell's most frequent BGM. In fact this ambience is found only a couple of regions, that are populated mostly by runaway humans.
The default BGM is something like this... *plays a music box-like tune*
jc_gargma: I should be set.
Xian Nox: If you're all set to go, then should I open a gateway?
jc_gargma: Sure, sounds good. I can go stop in and see Mom as well, while I'm there. Haven't seen her in quite awhile.
Xian Nox: *Does a few hand movements and chants something. A few seconds later a small wormhole, surrounded by complex geometric shapes, appears in midair, about 10 meters above the ground*
This is a gateway. In order to pass you must fly through it at 120km/h, which is no problem for a winged one like me.
Do you want me to carry you, or are you ok on your own, Maid-san?
jc_gargma: Can I jump through it at 120km/h instead? *giggles* Flying isn't an issue, no worries.
*Unfurls six elegant semi-transparent wings, each movement shedding pale-lilac feathers, their trails leaving fleeting temporal ripples in the air*
*Lifts from the ground, swiftly accelerates to speed, and passes through the gate*
*Lands gracefully on the other side, wings dissipating upon touching down*
Nice to see you in person, Xian Nox. ^_^
Xian Nox: *A pair of raven black wings erupt from my back, I take to the air and pass through the gateway after you. Moments after I pass, the gateway vanishes.*

The place the gateway leads to looks like a desert. The sky is blood red and a desert lies as far as the eye can see. There is something big floating in midair.
My own flying island. In Hell you can have whatever you want, and the sky is by no means a limit.
You turn back a see a humanoid creature about 185cm tall, with knee-length dark hair that has a golden shine in the sun. On it's back are three pairs of wings, with the feathers black with a silver outline. It wears a long black coat.
My true form. I hope you like it. You'll still need your wings for a while, because my island is only accessible by air.

[jc_gargma]

My own flying island. In Hell you can have whatever you want, and the sky is by no means a limit.

A floating island in a desert, very Netherese. *giggles* Its quite beautiful.

My true form. I hope you like it. You'll still need your wings for a while, because my island is only accessible by air.

Handsome. Amongst Angels, six wings are extremely rare, with only those of the Seraphim having so many.
*Her wings fade back into view. She lifts from the ground and smiles* Very well then, Lead on.

[Xian Nox]

Handsome. Amongst Angels, six wings are extremely rare, with only those of the Seraphim having so many.

I can usually use only four of them. Only in the Netherworld I can reveal my true form.

*Her wings fade back into view, she lifts from the ground and smiles* Very well then, Lead on.

*Slowly takes off and heads toward the island.*
The island looks like an ordinary flying island, but a closer look reveals something different. It appears to be upside down, with the part that is facing the surface being flat. What's more, a Newdaiz-style autumn jungle is growing on the bottom side.
It wasn't interesting enough, so I flipped it. I also flipped the gravity, so you can actually walk through the jungle and you can fall in the sky. Fun, is it not?
Because of a force shield around the island you have to enter at a precise speed. Fly next to me, please.

[jc_gargma]

I can usually use only four of them. Only in the Netherworld I can reveal my true form.

This makes me feel fortunate to be able to access mine at all times.
*briefly pauses, looking into the distance* My wings... *trails off, and returns to the moment*

It wasn't interesting enough, so I flipped it. I also flipped the gravity, so you can actually walk through the jungle and you can fall in the sky. Fun, is it not?

It looks and sounds very enjoyable, I can feel the desire to test jumping welling up. *giggles*

Of course.
*moves closer, and into a parallel position*

[Xian Nox]

Some time later, you feel the barrier I mentioned earlier.
Just to keep burglars away. After all, this is the Netherworld, and it's inhabitants rarely think before stealing.

A few seconds later, you see the entire flat surface of the island. It is neither too big, nor too small, just enough for a single Demon to live. The jungle covers the entire surface and at it's center is a mansion. Between the mansion and the jungle is a garden full of strangle crystalline flowers. In the garden you can also see a small lake, it's surface completely flat. Around the lake are a couple of trees that appear to be of the same substance that the flowers are.

We land near the edge of the garden. Before us is a path covered by pebbles. The mansion is just a short walk away.
Speaking of it, it is a building about 15 meters high, with a very high tower on one end. It is made of gray stone. According to the windows it should have five floors.

When we near it, the doors open.
Welcome home, Master! says a small maid. It is about 50 cm tall and wears a standard uniform.
Good day, Iris!, I reply, this is a friend of mine that will be staying here for a while. Please make sure that our guest receives the best of our hospitality.
Of course., comes the immediate reply.

This is my maid. Her name is Iris. She is in fact a doll - a soulless creature, programmed to do whatever it is told. However, I always treat her with the respect she deserves.

You must be tired after all this flying. Do you want to rest. I'll be glad to show you around later.

I've little doubt. *giggles*

Greeting Iris, its nice to meet you. You keep a very nice mansion. We should speak more at length later.

You must be tired after all this flying. Do you want to rest. I'll be glad to show you around later.

Yes, that would be nice. *steadies self* I'd forgotten how the Netherworld affects me.
Its rather trying for the first while, until I readjust.

[Xian Nox]

Greeting Iris, its nice to meet you. You keep a nice mansion. We should speak more at length later.

Yes, Mistress. the little maid automatically answers.

Iris will guide you to one of the guest rooms. Please take your time to recover. I'd also like to mention the fact that the lake outside has waters with healing capabilities. Ask Iris to guide you wherever you like. Just don't leave the island without my knowledge.
There is something I would like to accomplish while you rest. If there's anything you need, please ask Iris to summon me.

The little maid looks up towards you with it's golden cat-like eyes, as if saying "I'm ready to go". You take a small step towards her and that's all she needs to start guiding you through the corridors.
Which floor would you like to be on, Mistress?, Iris asks.

[jc_gargma]

Mistress...not a title I'm used to hearing from this perspective.

The Lake? *mildy dazed* I can, taste it from here. *regains herself* Yes, thank you, I will. I hope your trip goes well.

Hmm, the fourth seems to making a fuss for me to pay attention to me, so, that one sounds nice. *rubs eyes, looking tired* Sleep, will be good. Shifting internal prominences is worse than jet-lag.

[Xian Nox]

The Lake? *mildly dazed* I can, taste it from here. *regains herself* Yes, thank you, I will. I hope your trip goes well.

Then, must excuse myself for a while. I hope I will be back by the time you awaken.
*Bows politely and leaves through the front door again. Spreads his wings and flies off.*

Hmm, the fourth seems to making a fuss for me to pay attention to me, so, that one sounds nice. *rubs eyes, looking tired* Sleep, will be good. Shifting internal prominences is worse than jet-lag.

You go up the marble stairs to the fourth floor. You look around a bit.The walls are high and are made of white marble. There are no paintings and no chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The light comes from white triangular crystals, position every few meters on the wall. All doors are made of wood and have beautiful carvings. On the floor are long dark purple carpets that stretch from end to end.
The doll guides you to a door at the end of the corridor and then opens it. You go in a spacious corner room, filled with light from the windows. It looks like a simply decorated bedroom as it only has a bed, wardrobes, a desk, a table and chairs. The floor is covered with a dark parquet and a carpet is on top.
As soon as you lay down to rest the maid shuts the curtains so that the light won't disturb you. She leaves without making any noise and closes the door after her.
You fall asleep. When you wake up, you feel refreshed. Soon afterward, as if sensing that you're awake, the maid comes in.
What would you like to do, Mistress?

*states rather automatically, paying little notice* Good Morning Iris. I'm going for a walk, some place where no other creatures are. It seems my morning meditation is quite direly needed today. I'll be back shortly. *Moves towards the door at a swift rate, but rather than opening it, she passes right through it, with a small flurry of fleeting lilac feathers and a noticeable distortion in the air*
*seconds later, the distortion reappears, and jc_gargma re-emerges from it, wearing different clothing* Greetings Iris. ^_^ *looks towards the window* Right, it was morning, wasn't it? I hadn't had breakfast yet, so, that sounds like a nice start.

[Xian Nox]

I hadn't had breakfast yet, so, that sounds like a nice start.

Breakfast preparations have been completed. Please follow me.
You follow the maid to the back garden of the mansion. There is a small pavilion there. A table for one. On the white cover is a glass of freshly made carrot juice, and a plate full of cookies.
You soon finish the breakfast and start thinking what your next activity should be.

That was quite splendid. Thank you Iris. ^_^
*thinks for a few moments* I seem to be at a loss as to ideas of what to do, perhaps you and Xian could recommend some activities?

Master should be arriving in a couple of minutes. Iris replies.
You take a small walk in the garden to kill some time. All the flowers there, just like the one in the front, appear to be made of a transparent crystal.
Take some, if you wish. I can give you some seeds as well.
I'm sorry for being away for so long. Those Assemblies, they keep summoning them so often, and on top of all I have to attend them, at least from time to time.
Now then, I promised a tour. Shall we begin?

There are two things about this place that aren't what they appear to be. First of all, this mansion appears to be built of stone, doesn't it? In fact it isn't. It is made of nanites. This was much easier for me, since I didn't have to import tremendous amounts of stone in the middle of this sandpit.
Nanites have another advantage: during an attack this building can turn into quite a fortress. If you want I can demonstrate it later, but without a target, it isn't as impressive. (Hmm, if only a small innocent angel wondered in...)
A bit more about the building. It does have five floors, that's correct, but down it reaches the other end of the island, so that would make it about 30 levels down. There's also a lift down, it's not only the stairs, don't worry.
The entire island has a power source that could intrigue your Soul Vampire part. I will show it to you when we get near it of course.
Oh, I almost forgot the tower on the left side. I usually use it for my research. There is something there that could interest you as well. Let's visit it first. It's easier to fly there than climb the stairs.
*Slowly flaps with the wings and takes off*

*On the top level of the tower*
Here we are. Earlier I told you that Iris is a doll, didn't I. This is the place where I made her. I can make you one if you wish as well, but there are two little things about that as well.
First of all, I don't have all the materials. I need to pay a little visit to a... friend to get them.
The second thing... well... except guiding guests around and saying a couple of lines, Iris can't do anything else. She doesn't need to clean because the building simply cleans itself, she doesn't cook since I don't eat that much. So I never programmed her to do anything fancy.
So, do you want one?

[jc_gargma]

Makes sense, self repairing and self-reorganizing sounds smart. True, practice ranges can only demonstrate so much.

[size=85](Hmm, if only a small innocent angel wondered in...)[/size]

[size=85]I'm sure the Angel would go easy and give the fortress a fair chance. *giggles*[/size]

Yes, I've felt something very tas...distracting, from the moment I arrived here.
*under her breath* Keeps getting harder and harder to ignore these things...need to go speak with Mom again...

So, do you want one?

*thinks for few moments*
I appreciate the offer, but, I believe I'll have to pass for now. I have no home or permanent address for her to reside at.

[Xian Nox]

[size=85](Hmm, if only a small innocent angel wondered in...)[/size]

[size=85]I'm sure the Angel would go easy and give the fortress a fair chance. *giggles*[/size]

[size=85]Umm, the sweet little innocent ones just fly around screaming "Please don't shoot me!" followed by their usual "I love everything" speech, and with the high caliber machine guns firing at them... well, it's quite a laugh, I tell you from personal experience. I usually set the fortress to move at 10% speed, otherwise they wouldn't last long enough to be entertaining. [/size]

*thinks for few moments*
I appreciate the offer, but, I believe I'll have to pass for now. I have no home or permanent address for her to reside at.

They're more than happy to reside in their boxes, but as you may wish.

Now then, let's explore the underground part a bit. It has 30-something levels, but most of them are still empty. I've also frozen time in some parts, so please don't force the doors if they don't want to open. I still have one guest there that hasn't left for this reason.
*Opens the door to the lift*
For my own convenience, I installed a lift in the tower that goes directly to the underground levels.
Although underground, the interior of the corridors remains unchanged. The door however are made of metal.
*A couple of minutes later*
Alright, first stop, -5. Herein lies the power generator for the entire island. *Opens a heavy metal door*
The room you enter is rather small compared to the others in the mansion. In the center is a metal table, with a big glass jar on top. The glass of the jar has a light purple color and inside are many small orbs. A light white, transmitting and occasional weak lightning, is rising to a collector on top.
Humans call these orbs "Paradoxical Night". Most of them think this is just some harder-than-diamond mineral but in fact none know where these come from.
They are actually from Heaven. That's what they turn people into: each one of these orbs contains thousands of souls. What I managed to do was find somebody who knew how to turn them into energy. And of course I had to find somebody who had to supply me with these.
Yup, that's what I used Angels for. Quite naive they are. It is amazing how much they will do for each other.
Just one of these orbs can keep the island afloat for a millennium. With twenty three here and a supply of much more, I have a near-infinite supply of energy.

This pretty much sums up what is in this part of the mansion. Now then, would you like to try falling in the sky?

That's really weird. What good would ones like that do coming here, let alone into the Netherworld at all.

*visibly shaken* This, is, you're serious?! Angels do this, thing, as well?!
*sits down* Expending souls, like they're meaningless.
*laughs* I, must be the single greatest oddity in the whole of continuity.
The Half-Angel, who treasures them, and could never bring herself to harm or deface them.
The Half-Soul Vampire, who endures the hunger and starves herself in that she finds the thought of consuming them abhorrent.
How could I be either of them?
*Closes her eyes and doesn't make a sound for several minutes, then swiftly gets up and moves towards the door*
Yes, the jump-falling should help clear my head. Here, the hunger is almost overpowering.
I need to be of sound mind with the serious questions I'm going to ask my mother.

You're so interesting - I'm glad that I invited you.
What holds great value for one may be meaningless to another. For some, all life is sacred and should not be destroyed no matter what. For me it is either me or them since I too, as a Demon, feed on souls. The one who holds onto the Plank of Carneades will survive the storm, the other shall drown, but tell me, why should the first one be titled murderer for all he wants is to preserve his own, sacred life?
You have two parts, and the two of them are in conflict, aren't they? Embrace yourself for the one you are, and you are both.

*Closes her eyes and doesn't make a sound for several minutes, then swiftly gets up and moves towards the door*
Yes, the jump-falling should help clear my head. Here, the hunger is almost overpowering.
I need to be of sound mind with the serious questions I'm going to ask my mother.

As you may wish. Please follow me this way. Also do you know where your mother is, since I don't have much experience with Soul Vampires. I just know they have a small colony in a not too far away region.
*Opens the door and guides jc_gargma to lift. In the lift presses the lowermost button.*
*A minute later: opens the door.*
What you see before you is a small terrace with a stone floor. Below are the white clouds of yet another sunny day in the Netherworld.
You can fly, so you can return here anytime. The barrier is quite far away, so don't worry much about passing it. And I'll be here anyway.
*Calmly walks to the edge, stops, looks down*
The skies are red, the clouds - white.
*Takes the next step*

I need to be of sound mind with the serious questions I'm going to ask my mother.

As you may wish. Please follow me this way. Also do you know where your mother is, since I don't have much experience with Soul Vampires. I just know they have a small colony in a not too far away region.
*Opens the door and guides jc_gargma to lift. In the lift presses the lowermost button.*
*A minute later: opens the door.*
What you see before you is a small terrace with a stone floor. Below are the white clouds of yet another sunny day in the Netherworld.
You can fly, so you can return here anytime. The barrier is quite far away, so don't worry much about passing it. And I'll be here anyway.
*Calmly walks to the edge, stops, looks down*
The skies are red, the clouds - white.
*Takes the next step*

*Unfazingly steps from the platform, immediately feeling the gravity inversion*
*free-falls for a noticeable distance with wings unopened, before her wings enter into view, and modifies her flight-path to stability*
Hmm, 0.6cm from the barrier, abit off, should've been 0.05cm. Seems I'm out of practice.
*moves through the sky until night has set, performing some intricate yet seemingly effortless maneuvers, some of which appear irregular, from the abrupt 90 and 180 degree trajectory changes taking place*
*returns to the platform, her wings dissipating prior to landing, her touchdown timed perfectly, taking into account the gravity inversion*
*notices the Doll-Maid Iris standing on the platform*
Nice to see you waited Iris. Can you show me back to my room? *yawns lightly* I really need a shower and to get some sleep.

[Xian Nox]

That's really weird. What good would ones like that do coming here, let alone into the Netherworld at all.

Traps + Friendship between two such Angels does wonders.

I suppose it serves to reason not all of such hair colour are granted the same special protection.

*visibly shaken* This, is, you're serious?! Angels do this, thing, as well?!
*sits down* Expending souls, like they're meaningless.
*laughs* I, must be the single greatest oddity in the whole of continuity.
The Half-Angel, who treasures them, and could never bring herself to harm or deface them.
The Half-Soul Vampire, who endures the hunger and starves herself in that she finds the thought of consuming them abhorrent.
How could I be either of them?

You're so interesting - I'm glad that I invited you.
What holds great value for one may be meaningless to another. For some, all life is sacred and should not be destroyed no matter what. For me it is either me or them since I too, as a Demon, feed on souls. The one who holds onto the Plank of Carneades will survive the storm, the other shall drown, but tell me, why should the first one be titled murderer for all he wants is to preserve his own, sacred life?
You have two parts, and the two of them are in conflict, aren't they? Embrace yourself for the one you are, and you are both.

Yes, Mistress. Master said he had something to accomplish, so he left me here to wait for you.
The maid leads you back to your room.
The opposite room is the bathroom. Please call for me if you need anything.
Also, dinner preparations are under way. Dinner will be served in the pavilion in the back garden.

*showers, and afterwards, heads to the pavilion, curious as to what will be served*

When you go out of the door leading to the garden, you see three clones of myself, all running around at high speed, each carrying something. By the time you get near, everything is complete and the clones turn into feathers and float back into me.
I'm sorry for being so behind schedule. Everything is complete now. Please, come.
The table is now different from the morning one. The new one is considerably bigger, with two chairs on the opposite sides. On the table are also two candlesticks, each with 5 candles.
Today's dinner: Beef Dinburi.

There's also a splendid Mezzek wine.
And for dessert:

You approach the chair and the doll gently moves it back for you.
The evening sun sets in the distance. It's last rays reach the crystal garden and the few trees reflect them in various ways. It's a breathtaking scene, full both of the colors of the day and the shades of the night.

Such a beautiful sunset~

Thank you Iris, Teehee~. *moves to sit, Iris moving to chair forward into place as she begins to sit*
This looks splendid, though if I could ask for an alternate refreshment. I don't drink.

*starts on her meal, finding it highly enjoyable*

How has your day passed Xian? I found myself rather caught up and didn't have a chance to chat more.

*having finished her meal*
The Eton Mess was magnificent. *giggles* I have always been quite fond of strawberries.

[Xian Nox]

I'm sorry, I'll take it into consideration next time.

How has your day passed Xian? I found myself rather caught up and didn't have a chance to chat more.

Very well indeed. For the first time in my life I enjoyed a Dark Assembly.
A rather low-rank devil decided to summon a monster and pet it. The monster was a dragon in fact, so he had to get approval from 12 Demons and 12 Devils. Since he is low-ranked, we decided to play a little trick on him. He had to bribe all of us. *laughs* I don't say I've never been bribed before, but this guy was serious. He really bribed all. And look what I got. *pulls out a small glass box* A nuclear power plant. He really went to the human world, found a 6 reactor power plant, transported it to the Netherworld and then shrank it enough to put it in the box. *laughs* At least he remembered to freeze the time around it so that it wouldn't explode.
So in the end, after three months of negotiations with various members of the Assembly, he managed to find 24 members that would approve his proposal.
Now comes the most interesting part. Firstly, he paid us just before the vote. Just after that the vote began, one of the Devils fell asleep. So he went and gently, I can't describe you how gently, woke her up. We laughed our asses off.
In the end we decided that he had entertained us enough and approved it all. So once he got his certificate, he decided to use it. And he actually summoned the dragon during the Assembly.
Rules aside, this part is the funniest. Monsters usually obey their summoners and it's not uncommon to see a monster die for it's master. This dragon however was more interesting. It took an instant dislike to it's master and started flying around, screaming. Unable to fly, all this helpless guy could do was run around shouting "Obey your master" and "Come this instant". In the end, the dragon had enough of him and it broke the ceiling and ran away.
Now this poor guy not only bribed us all in vain, but he also has to repair the ceiling and after that face a trial.

I hadn't mentioned it prior, its my fault as well.

No ways~ Neato. I mean, I can shrink and freeze them too, but, like, I never really thought of actually doing it.
Its so cute~ Nuclear is so pretty~

Its the same with Humans. They get a measure of power, want to show off how they're strong, and are like, "Hmm, enslave a dragon, sounds like a good idea."
Your devil friend seemed to fare better. He wasn't eaten. *giggles*
