exsiliumlogs | [OPEN]

Date & Time: Friday the 29th- April 1st
Location: Around Exsilium, specifically to the north
Characters: Any
Summary: Loki places illusions around the island to trick people into believing the United Earth is attacking.
Warnings: Possible violence/language.

Loki sat in his throne, gazing into the green orb levitating in the air before him. In it he watched his chaos start to unfurl. That....machine... the one people called the AI, was even now giving a warning. He enjoyed imagining that its tone would be panicked had it a voice.

"The Initiative is a legion of fools," he laughed to himself. "Stealing away Gods who have no desire to fight for them. They are in no position to fight a war... But if they refuse to acknowledge this perhaps they require proof and Loki shall provide." There was nobody else in the room to hear his words, he was content to talk aloud to himself.

With a wave of his hand another golem disguised as a UE soldier rose from the earth outside his castle and started making its way south through the mountains....

[OOC: State where and when you are in your threads and interact amongst yourselves! I can NPC the soldiers if requested, but you are more than welcome to write them yourselves. More on the event here. Ask any questions at the post provided in the link.))

[he squints at Jabberwock. the monster, he means? what else could he mean?

and, hey....hey. okay, so he's...young, but he's got powers!

not that many folks know about that.

okay.

okay, this guy's outrage is justified, but...hey! come on! Jericho holds up his hands in a show-and-tell, shrugged-shoulders kind of fashion: didn't you just see-- er, well, fall victim? to his powers? he's fairly capable!

except for the part where those soldiers aren't...possess-able...]

[ Leo's frown only deepens at the gesturing. Although yes, he did just fall victim to said powers, Leo has no clue how it works or how it's even possible for that matter. He has no experience dealing with 'powers'.

For a moment he can only stare hard at Jericho, trying to decipher just what the hell is going on.

But eventually he plainly gives up though, announcing as much in a very deadpan manner: ]

I have no idea what you're trying to say.

[he gives him an uneasy, withering look, slumping forward a little. this is no good! he can't spend time trying to sign or scratch out words in the middle of an attack!

Jericho lifts his hands – okay, fine – and takes a step back, pushing them forward, as if pressing more distance between them. whatever weird...moment they just shared? it's done! and he's got people to take care of, since some don't have giant, horrifying monsters to watch their back.

so, excuse me!

he turns heal and starts out the alley toward the sounds of the attack.]

[ Leo is perceptive enough to realize by now that the kid either can't speak or doesn't want to. Whichever the case doesn't really matter as neither are helping make the situation any more clearer. Both his eyebrows go up at the distancing gesture, he can make that out for what it is at least, and he watches on as the boy turns and is he—

Yes. Yes, he is. He's walking right back in danger's direction. ]

Hey! [ Honestly, Leo doesn't have time for this. He has an orphanage to get to and protect so if this kid is so determined to get himself killed, who is Leo to stop him? Still, he has to head in the same direction so he can at least stomp after him and see what the boy's about to do. ]

[about to do half of what hasn't been working all this time, just because maybe there's a fluke? Jericho's almost convinced. super-weird Masked technology or something...also, masks in general.

tiny, yes, but not a complete pushover: Jericho intercepts one of those helmet-headed soldiers and manages to disarm him, trip him up, and get him close enough to his level that he can make a fair attempt at getting that mask off, trying in vain to hop in through the eyes.

he gives that up once a hand grabs at his wrist, obliging him to shake free and simply kick the guy down. Jericho backs away, doing a bit of a double-take at seeing Mister I-Have-Horrible-Monster-Pets back again.]

[ Leo stops to watch and it's— surprising to see the boy take down a soldier, but what comes after is just puzzling to Leo. Just what is he trying to do? Having no idea how Jericho's powers work, it's just a complete mystery to him.

But whatever it was he was trying to do, it hasn't accomplished much and by the time he notices Leo again, Leo's wearing a thoroughly unimpressed expression. In the blink of an eye Jabberwock is back by his side and it steps forward, crushing the soldier on the ground underneath its claw where said soldier turns to rubble.

Leo doesn't notice that though, his eyes are still on the kid. ] You should evacuate with everyone else.

[wait--

rubble?

Jericho shakes himself out of the fright that awful Jabberwock gave, coming out of nowhere like that, to kneel down and pick up one of the pieces that had scattered toward him.

well...that could explain his possession problems, huh? except he's possessed guys made of rock before...weird. he'll have to ask Raven. find her, actually; he can manage a little toe-to-toe himself, but he's not going to do a whole lot of good with that alone.

mouth taut, he glances up at Leo and nods, though still debating. is leaving this guy alone with a giant, scary monster all that good of an idea? is there really much time to wonder about that?

better find Raven or Robin and see what they'd have to say about it.

Jericho lets the rock drop out of his hand as he gets up, clapping his hands of it and giving the area a tentative lookabout before starting back.]

[ Wait, what was he doing this time? Leo's patience is starting to wear thin very rapidly so it's a good thing that Jericho nods without (seemingly) no resistance. Good. As he should. Leo had half been expecting some kind of protest so it's some relief when none comes at least.

He gives a curt nod in return before he turns on his heel with a cry of: ] Jabberwock!

[ Leo doesn't have to communicate his intentions any more than that, the winged Chain reacts instantly as it starts striking down the soldiers nearby, leaving none standing to possibly pursue Jericho while Leo himself moves away in the direction of the orphanage. ]
