Destiny Roleplay ( Open and Accepting! )

[XxBarricadeXx]

Aurora was happy he didn't mind her coming along. She wouldn't all alone and bored. She quickly slowed down next to him as she walked along side him. She was curious if the other Warlock was awake now? Would she talk to them? At this point, she didn't know.

Aurora stepped in the room after him. She looked at the Warlock as she didn't say anything. She didn't need to speak unless it was necessary to do so. Right now, it wasn't. She titled her head sightly when she saw what seem to come from his hand. She didn't say anything as she still watched.

Illusions? So she was seeing Illusions. When Aurora saw him motion to her, she quickly followed her after him. S

Nadia blinked her eyes a few times, hearing the small amount of laughter coming from Feron. Oh, he found the name-calling to be amusing. While some Guardians thought that the Guardian and her Ghost were bickering with such nicknames, it was nothing more than poking fun at one another. With almost every single Guardian, their faithful and pocket-sizes companion tended to be the first friend and ally that they have made in such an unforgiving world. Her Ghost shifted his gaze curiously at the Hunter just as he repeated the nickname that he shot back at Nadia."Oh, her favorite one is Bunny because of her height deficiency and the part that she jumps-" Her Ghost was starting to explain to him, but Nadia casted a glance over to her Ghost with a raise of her eyebrow. Just that one look caused for the Ghost to vanish with a few sparkles of light from where it had been hovering. She sucked in a quick breath from out of being startled when someone suddenly had spoken. She turned towards the person that had been apparently speaking to her with a bit of curiosity. Ahhh! This was her! This was the person she was telling Feron about! She didn't expect for the Titan to arrive so early, so she didn't even come up with a great way to introduce both she and Feron and the problem presented to them."I-ah. Yeah! It was my Ghost that contacted you." she started to say while lifting her hand to the back of her head. She really needed to work on her people skills instead of having her nose stuck between the pages of a book. Thankfully, Feron took over by explaining to the Titan that this mission would take place on the Dreadnaught and the part that they had to eliminate the bond brothers. 

She silently prayed that the Titan would tag along for this mission. They seriously needed the help. Hunters were known for their agility, but they weren't fortified and built tanks like Titans. So, when the Titan did agree to participate in the mission, she seemed to have glowed like a kid in a toy shop."Yes! Thank you!" she told the Titan with a small dip of her head. Apparently, it was like another way to show a sign of respect or gratitude towards another person. Not that common to see it, but some people still did it. She lifted her head up a few seconds later to look directly at the Titan with a trace of a smile.This was going to be interesting. Yes, she has heard about the stories and the rumors circulating around this Titan about the ability to manipulate ice. To have it confirmed? Awesome. She really wanted to see how this Titan was able to do it, and how she gained the upper hand when using this ice against her foes."Anyways...this is Feron." she started to say, as she gestured over to the other hunter."...and I'm Nadia. We are happy to have you on the team." she told her, but her smile slowly faded when she heard the faint rumble of a ship's engines. She turned slightly to look over to the side where a jet black ship with yellow lights was hovering only a few feet away from the white railing. Well, her ride was here. She figured that everyone would be able to fit all in one ship. So, she motioned for the two of them to follow her. She started at a small jog towards the ship, and when she felt a light sensation, that was when she was transmatted onboard the ship. She took her seat in the cockpit with her gaze traveling over the various gauges. Coordinates were already plotted to the Dreadnaught. She just had to push the throttle to get the ship moving to head into hyperspace.

As Akari was in search of the potatoes, onions, and garlic, he went to round up the rest of the ingredients required to create a beef stew. Like he mentioned, it would only take him about ten minutes to find the rest of the ingredient list. Roman stepped away from the last vendor stall with a few bags carried in his right hand. He thanked the shopkeeper, before he started to walk through the marketplace. There was a smile that formed when he saw Akari with her bag. He walked over to her, and slowed to a stop beside her. He gently took the plastic bag from out of her hand."Hey, hon." he said softly as he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek."Thanks for helping me out." he told her, as he reached over and had taken her hand.Now that they had everything to make a beef stew, it was time to head home. He was going to sleep good tonight knowing that he wouldn't have to fear that a foe would creep up on them, and that his stomach would be full and content. He lead her through the streets of the Last City with his gaze drifting over the place, before he would look over to her with a small smile. Eventually, he came across the place that he called home.

 The exterior was quaint and picturesque considering the fact that it actually used to be a warehouse. The brickwork of the building and the landscaping  gave it this old-fashioned taste to it. He walked along the stone sidewalk that drifted around the side of the house that would lead up to the door of his apartment. He let go of her hand, and lifted it so that it was level to his chest. He opened his hand to reveal the palm of his hand. A few seconds later, a ring of keys materialized in his hand. He lowered his hand, as he selected the right key and unlocked the front door. He pushed the door open, and put his foot against the door to hold it open for her. Roman glanced over to her for a moment, before he headed over to the kitchen area to set the bags down on the kitchen counter. He was sorting through the vegetables by removing them from the plastic bags and setting in the sink for him to wash over with water. Then, he would get started by cutting the veggies and grabbing the pot needed to make the stew. "Make yourself at home.Guest bedroom is upstairs. " he told her. While he was doing this, she could start unpacking and explore the house a little to see where everything was.

"She didn't saying anything so far." one of the soldiers was beginning to say to his comrade that was standing beside her."He altered her mind and sight so that she would see illusions. It's supposed to really get underneath their nerves. Get 'em talking." the other had said with both of their backs facing her while they were having this conversation. They thought that she was still in this delusional state that they made her suffer through. Sable slowly lifted her head so that she would be looking directly at the two soldiers. It took so much effort just to lift her head up. Her mouth felt dry like if she had been walking through a desert with no water for days. Her breaths were shallow and slow with her muscles being weak. There were a lot of people that would have given up at this point. To just give away their secrets jus so that they wouldn't have to endure this. She did not. She had something...someone...to fight for. She wasn't going to have her friends or her love be in danger. She wasn't going to tell them a single thing. Though, there was something else that was beginning to bud and flower with every passing second that she was put through this hell. Their voices seemed distant, but she was able to hear what they were speaking about. Her eyes were growing watery at the thought of someone that was close to her, but she quickly blinked these oncoming tears away. This was replaced with something much more sinister when she heard the soldier say something."Why even bother? Let's just grab someone. One of her friends or that other Warlock. Hurt them and bring them-" he was starting to say to his partner, but that was when a spine-chilling voice had filled the room. They whipped around to face Sable with their guns drawn, just as she closed her hand into a fist. "No you're not." she seethed. That was when the fleur du mal had blossomed....the flower of the evil.

When Aurora stepped out of the room with him, Rourke ensured that the door had been shut behind them. An exasperated sigh left him at the news that had been brought to him. The Warlock wasn't talking. Typical. A Guardian would never spill some information so easily especially if it related to their own brethren. Lover, friends, family. She wasn't going to say a word. He had hoped seeing these illusions would deteriorate these walls that she built around herself so she could stay as strong as a fortress. There were ways to break down these walls brick-by-brick so that the person would cave in. She couldn't keep it up. Eventually, her strength would falter. The Titan turned to face Aurora as they were standing in the hallway."She'll give in. They always do." he murmured, giving the implication that this was not the first time he used this method to get some answers. "They will carry on with the interrogation." he explained to her, having faith that they had things back under control. So, he began to walk away of the door that led into the room and down the hallway."I'll most likely head out again. Try and find some clues to the whereabouts of this other Warlock. He'll probably know more than this other one." he told her, but as he was walking, there was this dreaded feeling twisting his stomach. He didn't know why it turned up all of a sudden or the cause behind it. Perhaps it was the side effect of using a sliver of darkness to warp the Warlock's mind.


 Just as he was about to take another step, he would figure out why he felt this way. Because right at that moment, there was a blood curdling scream that echoed down the hallway from the room they left only a minute or two ago along with the lights flickering just above them. Adrenaline pumped into his veins as he grabbed his auto rifle from off his back. This wasn't good. He started to retrace his steps with the auto rifle poised to fire at any given second. He lowered the rifle, seeing that the door was partially open. He pushed the door open carefully, and cautiously moved into the room. Gone. The Warlock was gone. A few of his soldiers were laying on the ground with gray dust layering  their armor. There was a hole in the wall that led outside to the cool and wintry weather just beyond. He knelt down beside one of the soldiers, and pressed his index finger against his neck. He slowly stood up with a shake of his head. Unbelievable."Dead. They are all dead." he said with some shock in his voice. He then looked out at the hole that had been created with some sort of explosive force. She couldn't have gone far, could she?

Elsa smiled.

"Glad to be here. So..what's the mission?"

She sat down next to Nadia in the co-pilot chair. Olaf hovered nearby.

(I feel terrible for not having a reply up aah! I'll have one up soon, at least within this week, I can promise you that.)

[A.Kira-]

Ileana~
She took a bowl of pasta and a bottle from Carmela before sitting on the couch. "Pacific Rim? Sounds interesting enough. What is it about?" She didn't have much of a guess. She crossed her legs and tried her alfredo. She was impressed, and it was rare that she was impressed with somebody else. "Impressive Alfredo."

Akari~
"You built this... When you were 21..." If her jaw could have hit the floor it would have. It was gorgeous. For a guy, and a titan, he had interesting taste. She was suddenly very aware that she was wearing armor covered in hive, sweat and actual blood. "Oh my, I'm disgusting. I hope you don't mind if I clean up? I feel nasty. I'll be right back. Don't do too much while I'm gone, I'm supposed to help! But uh... Not while I'm covered in gross." She darted off, quickly deducing which room was the bathroom. Of course ut was gorgeous as well. He really didn't compromise, did he? She striped her armor and had ghost transmat it to be cleaned before getting into the shower. Her ghost had transmatted in her civilian clothes, and they sat folded on the floor. After shutting off the water and ensuring she didn't leave the bathroom soaked she pulled on a pair of black shorts and a dark blue, loose sweater, with socks of course because her feet were always cold. She glanced in the mirror before leaving the bathroom and frowned, running her finger over the scar that Ileana's bullet had left behind. She lifted up her shirt, seeing two more scars on her stomach. That was unfortunate.
"Sorry about the scars... I was pressed for time. Scar tissue is the fastest way to patch a wound, and since the location of the scar tissue wouldn't inhibit your life or movement I deemed it a valid option." Ghost explained.
Akari shook her head, letting her shirt fall back down before leaving the bathroom. "It's fine ghost, I understand," she smiled. She did understand, but she wasnMt excited about the permanant reminder of what Ileana did on venus.
Akari wandered about the upstairs before stumbling upon what was clearly the guest bedroom. There weren't enough personal belingings of sentimental value to be Roman's room. He had even gone out of his way with the guest bedroom. Of course, it did seem like it was designed for a female. Perhaps he'd had a female in his life at some point? Men didn't typically like that style of bed. She didn't sit on it, though. Not yet. If she got too comfortable she wouldn't get up for days.
Before she went back downstairs she opened the note she'd been palmed on the street. Quietly, or it all ends. Signed C.C. Her eyebrows met in an agitated maner before she burned the note with her solar fire to destroy any trace of it. She didn't know what C.C. was, but she knew this was Ileana's doing. She knew what the note meant. She disn't know how, but she did.
She walked back downstairs, stretching her arms over her head. "Alright, I'm clean now," she smiled to Roman, pulling her knife out of her back pocket. "You asked if I was good with a knife before?"

Carmela | Human Female | Sunbreaker Titan| Tagged: Ileana/Any | Location: Earth -> Tower -> Personal Quarters

Her bottle was set aside as she scooped up her own bowl, shoveling a hefty bite into her mouth with a contented sound. This was one of her favorites, and she'd most definitely took her time in preparing it to insure it was perfect. With her mouth currently occupied, Rila was quick to 'step in' on answering the question with a short summary.

"The provided summary is as follows, Ileana. Long ago, legions of monstrous creatures called Kaiju arose from the sea, bringing with them all-consuming war. To fight the Kaiju, mankind developed giant robots called Jaegers, designed to be piloted by two humans locked together in a neural bridge. I would elaborate more, but it could ruin the movie, so I simply provided the basics you would need to know." The Ghost spoke cheerfully from Mel's shoulder, nestling herself between the nook of her Guardian's shoulder and the back of the couch as Carmela got comfortable.

"Thank you Rila." Mel would say as she swallowed her bite, washing it down with another sip of her beer. "I'm glad you think so." She would respond to Ileana with a smile, her gaze traveling to the television as the movie began to play.

Feron | Human Male | Nightstalker Hunter | Tagged: Nadia + Elsa/Any | Location: Earth -> Tower -> Plaza

'Bunny', the word played over in his mind again as he recalled how the incident had gone down before the Titan had arrived, and he couldn't help but chuckle still. While the Ghost was right, she was a tad on the short side, and the nickname Bunny was most definitely fitting. He shook his head, clearing it as he focused on the Titan, a brow perking only slightly as she confirmed her Ice like powers. This would make things oh so interesting, perhaps even easier. Quietly he stood there, watching with a keen eye as Nadia introduced him to the Titan, who had yet to give her name, then herself. His head would dip in a small curtsy as if to acknowledge the introduction, but he remained silent.

Hazel gaze would turn slightly, nearly the same time Nadia, as a ship rose above the balcony of the Plaza, and as Nadia moved forward, he figured that this would be their ride. Saved him the trouble of using his ship. "Pax, load the ship in the hangar and get back to me as soon as you can. We're taking another ship." He would say, watching as first the Hunter, then the Titan transmatted into the ship. He stood there for a moment, grumbling about something before the small one eyed robot popped up beside him. "Eh, a little help?" He would chuckle, jabbing his thumb in the direction of the waiting ship.

"Oh! Right!" The ghost would huff, quickly bringing himself along with his Guardian aboard the waiting ship.

"Sorry about that." He would say as his boots touched to the flooring. "One eye over there was slacking." He would give the ghost a gentle tap, causing the Ghost to spin a half circle.

"Slacking? More like I was keeping your ship waiting for you to return." The Ghost would huff back, obviously unamused by the Hunters trick as he straightened his shell.

"Anyways, we need to hit the Dreadnaught, find the core, and stop the Bond Brothers from blowing it up, and most importantly, you know, not die." He would grin, stepping behind the two to peer outside of the pilots window. Seeing as both seats were currently taken, he'd stand, obviously not bothered by it one bit. "And bringing something shiny back for Cayde, can't forget that."

[~SongOfFlames~]

((It's okay, parabati. I understand.^_^))


When she was seated in the pilot's chair with absolutely no one else onboard, Nadia might have propped her boots up onto the empty console that wasn't flooded with buttons,gauges, or levels to get more comfortable. She might have even  pulled a book from off the small stack to the side to read while her Ghost took the reins of the ship. Today wasn't the case. She was actually glad that she had this habit of keeping everything clean and tidy on her ship and the cute little apartment she lived in at the Last City. A little bit of a neat freak, but hey, that was okay right? Nadia reached over to push the lever forward to get the ship moving once everyone was onboard and ready to go. After that, she would let her Ghost take over control. She turned to look over at Elsa when she asked what the mission was all about. Oh god. She just had to ask her, didn't she? It was kind of obvious that she could sometimes be socially awkward. Thankfully, she wasn't all too bad when it came to the serious and important cases such as these. "We are going to the Dreadnaught." she started to say, as she crossed one leg over the other."Ever heard about the Skyburner legion of the Cabal?" she asked her curiously."...Well they are kind of upset after their leader, which goes by the name of Primus Ta'aun, was one of the targets that Oryx ended up snatching to become part of his Taken army." she was explains with hardly any difficulty with pronouncing the names of the Cabal."So, Valus Tlu'urn and Valus Mau'ul are trying to detonate the core of the Dreadnaught. That will completely destroy the Dreadnaught, and most of the solar system with it." she explained to why this was urgent to complete.


"So, we are going to take down these Shield Brothers and whoever they brought with them, before they even get the chance to continue with this plan.." she concluded.She then glanced over to Feron who was a little late to the party, but she didn't mind at all. He was fashionably late.He provided a short and simple explanation that worked out a whole lot better than her lengthy answer."Basically, what he said." she added, in case she didn't get half the stuff that she was saying."I know there's a lot of pressure on us, but we can do it. Look how much we have accomplished together as Guardians. Brought down a Vex prodigy that can manipulate space and time,slain a Hive God with his own sword, and locked away a Kell that tried to conquer all the Fallen houses. This will be nothing comparing to what we have faced." she added, before turning her gaze to the window when the Dreadnaught came into view. She turned away from the two to reach for something that had been out of side. She pulled a helmet from off the short stack of books, and put it on. She pulled her hood over her helmet, and rolled her shoulders."Well then. Time to go." she said softly. When she got up to stand, she was transmatted onto the Dreadnaught. She pulled her pistol from out of the holster, and spun it several times in her hand. She casted a quick glance over her shoulder at her ship, before she looked at the beacon that showed up on her HUD. Ugh. Curse her little legs because she was going to have to either fight all of those Hive and Cabal  on the way there, or she had to make a run for it. They had to go straight to that Cabal post there.


~~





Roman glanced up momentarily from what he was doing when he heard Akari."Ah...yes. With a little help of course." he told her. He then reached over to turn the valve of the sink so that he could clean off the vegetables, before they would have to be cut for the stew. He really didn't explain all the details of this place. While it was true that he did this as a project with his friend when he was twenty-one years of age, there was also another truth that had been unspoken. Right at that age, he hit a rough patch in his life. He had been grieving over a good friend that passed away in the hospital. Their injuries were too severe for them to recover. Their Ghost couldn't do a single thing about it either. Instead of leaning to drinking away the pain as a temporary resolve, his friend told him this wonderful project that he had been thinking over. The project was to convert the warehouse to two apartments. It worked. It kept his mind busy. He eventually crawled from out of that pit of despair. He smiled slightly hearing that she wanted to clean up. He simply nodded his head with agreement that he wouldn't get too far ahead with creating the beef stew. He would be true to his word. So, all he did was take them from out of the sink and set them down on a wooden block for them to be sliced. He set the pot above the stove and prepared everything but the vegetables and dumped it into the pot. He slid the lid over the pot with a soft sigh with his eyes drifting over the living space. Not too bad. 

He would have to get a rag to clean the dust off that layered over the appliances. He was preoccupied in his thoughts, so when Akari traveled down the steps, he didn't hear her. He did notice that she was downstairs when he caught a glimpse of motion from the corner of his eye. He turned to face her, noticing right off the bat that she was in civilian clothing. The sweater was adorable on her. He tensed right when she pulled a knife from out of her back pocket. While her intention had been pure, you probably had no idea how scary it was when someone pulled a knife on you from out of the blue. She probably had it on her for defensive purposes like the stories of how some people would leave a handgun in the drawer of their nightstand or under their pillow.  He didn't want for her to use the knife designated for field use, so he sidestepped to get a kitchen knife for her to use. He held the grip out to her for her to take, before he had spoken."Can you cut these into small pieces?" he said as he gestured to the clean vegetables that were laying near the wooden block."I'm going to jump in the shower real quick,okay?" he told her, as he took a few steps back to give her some room so she could start."Try not to burn the house down." he added jokingly as he headed out of the kitchen area and up the stairwell. From there, he headed straight to the master bedroom. He removed the armor pieces, and set them onto the wooden floor for Athena to place into the storage unit. He then took a ten minute shower to scrub off all the dirt and grime that clung to his skin. The warm water that rolled off his back felt great, and it was going to get even better when he had something good to eat and a full night's rest. Once he was done, Roman stepped out of the bathroom with a long sleeve gray t-shirt and black cargo pants along with the scent of pine from the soap bar he was using. He traveled down the steps, and glanced over to Akari with a bit of curiosity to how far along she has gotten.

[A.Kira-]

Ileana~
"Giant robots and cocky humans. Is that the plot for all these types of movies?" She smirked, before shutting up to let Carmela enjoy the movie. She had noted Carmela grab a drink and wondered if the Titan had an issue. Not with drinks, but perhaps a psychological issue that she tried to keep at bay. She wouldn't pru into it, though. If there was an issue it would blossom in front of Ileana in it's own time.
Themovie was proving to be... Strange. She found herself very confused by how the humans of old expected the earth to look. Perhaps this was less of an expectation and more just fun? Either way it was still very strange.
Her ghost rested next to her on the couch curiosly, examining every aspect of the movie. From the clothes, to the voices and even the objects in the background. For amovie she found it to be very thorough.

Akari~
A confused look crossed her face when he handed her a new knife. She pushed hers back into her pocket. "Enjoy your shower," she nodded and moved to the vegetables. Handing a hunter a knife and telling them to use it - for any purpose - was like putting a fallen in a room full of ether and telling them to eat. It would get done, and fast. The only difference was a hinter would acheive it with some level of grace. She couldn't say there was any grace involved in cutting vegetables, but she did her best. It was done faster than she expected and she wiped the knife off, setting it to the side carefully. Akari wandered back toward the living area just as Roman came back downstairs. Her hands reached out and wrapped around his torso, pulling him into a sleepy hug. "You smell better." She pointed out. "It's nice to have something more peaceful to... I dunno... Just all of this." She listened to his heartbeat for a few moments before letting him go, wandering towards the kitchen. "I finished cutting those, the knife is on the counter. No fires." She shrugged, sliding to a sitting position on the floor near the counter.

[Saberius Prime]

Elsa placed her helmet on and primed her pulse rifle before being transmatted onto the Dreadnaught.

"Lead the way, Nadia."

[Cᴏᴍᴍᴀɴᴅᴇʀ Sʜᴇᴘᴀʀᴅ]

Carmela | Human Female | Sunbreaker Titan| Tagged: Ileana/Any | Location: Earth -> Tower -> Personal Quarters

Carmela would scoff lightly, a smirk of her own coming to play before she replied. "Well, not quite all of them, but for the most part, yeah. Pretty much. You know how cocky us humans can be." She'd send Ileana a playful wink before settling back into her meal, eyes moving back to the tv. The movie was obviously completely wrong about how the future had panned out, but it was interesting never-the-less. This wasn't exactly the first time she'd seen it, and most definitely wouldn't be the last.

Her bowl was quickly emptied, along side with the beer, both empty items being placed on the table in front of her while she returned her back to the couch to settle in and finish off the movie. While it was interesting, it was strangely short, and before she knew it, the credits were rolling over the screen. Quietly she would stand, hands moving to take both bowls as she shuffled into the kitchen once more. It was a tad later in the evening by now, and she would yawn as her hands moved the dishes into the dishwasher like machine.

Feron | Human Male | Nightstalker Hunter | Tagged: Nadia + Elsa/Any | Location: Earth -> Tower -> Plaza

Feron kept himself occupied by observing the interior of her ship while they made their way for the Dreadnaught. It was a short trip, likely due to the fact that Venus was only a few planets away from where they actually were. His hand held out expectantly the second the ship began to slow, his Ghost transmatting in his helmet, which he was quick to pull over his head, allowing it to seal before dropping himself down beside the other Hunter. His hands were already adjusting the scarf that hung around his neck, straightening it before popping his hood over the back of his head. "Quite the collection of books you got there, Bunny." He would tease in good spirit, his own handcannon being withdrawn from his belt. His fingers deftly popped the mag to the side, checking his ammo before he whipped it back into the weapon. "I've never been one much for reading, but everyone has their own hobbies I guess." He added, turning slightly as Ghost brought in his other gear. A sniper was placed in his open hand, its sleek colorations hidden behind an old tied on piece of cammie netting. Without much thought, he slung it over his shoulder, pinning his cape to his back to prevent it from getting tangled up on anything as they progressed further into the Dreadnaught. Eyes would glance around for a moment before he spotted the Titan dropping in.

"If you wish to take the stealth approach, simply say. I will provide cover with a smoke grenade to get us through without much of a fight." He would say, eyes moving forward to where the Cabal and Hive were pushing against eachother. "But if you're itching for a fight, we can give that to them."
