Shadowfall

[Will]

"You mean? It's time I get to get my answers?"

"And time for me to rip every atom out of whatever Shadowfall is made of?"

"I have to use the restroom first."

[Strangerdanger101]

"What are they muttering about," the purple Hound couldn't help but mumble to himself, confused about his observings. What was their plan, what are they aiming for?

"Creator, I am confused," he mumbled, unintentionally announcing his presence when he did.

 

(I'm out of ideas. So...let's make some folks jump.)

[Blewcheese]

Joseph eyes Celina cautiously, and he grips his new cane tightly.

"Yes... But I believe we have a visitor we should adress first." Pops turns his head to where he heard the mumbling from, but he was unable to tell what had been said.

[Battal]

Jakob turns towards the sound as well.  "Hello?"

[Will]

"Bloody hell, a talking hound? Let's hope it's friendly."

Dark Will lights a torch so everyone else can see the hound.

"Who are you, and why are you here?"

(Actually, I believe the only thing you can hear is barking. I think.)

[Tesability]

(What you hear in your ears is barking/growling/snarling. What you hear in your head is a translation of what his sounds actually mean. You're technically hearing both at the same time. Anything in italics is something anyone can understand.)

 

The torch, combined with the light of the ever-rising sun, was enough to momentarily blind the Hound, causing him to cover his silver eyes with one of his forepaws.

 

"Do you always blind who you meet, prisoner," he basically growled before finally removing the paw, blinking away the blindness as he did. "And as for who I am, my given name is Entendre. The fact that you even know now that I exist is a lot more than most prisoners know about me."

[Battal]

(That's it; we're leaving; talk on the way.)

 

As the sun rises higher in the sky, the group sets off, leaving behind the smoking ruin and going forth towards Oranihil.  In the distance, dark clouds swirl ominously, marking the location of Shadowfall and the Beacon.

[Percival]

"Wait, where are you guys going?"

 

Celina was quite eager and curious to know what deadly adventure this group was going to become. Of course, she would have to take some precautions, but she has her friend to help. Speaking of which..

 

She turns towards where she last saw the lonely shadow, and beckoned it towards her own. It would make a good cover.

[Will]

"I can't believe it's already here... the day we end Shadowfall's existence."

"It's time for some serious revenge."

"It'll be fun, at least."

Will fiddled with the controls on his Rainblower, causing the light equal to a floodlight's maximum light capacity to emerge from the nozzle.

"I thought you said that thing shot out pure light in the form of the colour spectrum. That's pitiful for such a big hunk of junk!"

"Oh, that's just its lowest setting. This thing will fry any shades that dare get in our way."

[Blewcheese]

"Tell me, have you heard of a being known as Shadowfall?" Pops glanced at the hound as he walked. "You, too." His gaze returned to the ominous shadows in the distance. Meanwhile, Joseph was managing to keep up with his makeshift legs and cane. A few stumbles at first, of course, but not many other walking troubles.

[Battal]

As the group grew closer to Oranihil, and their final encounter, they began to feel rather odd.  Cold.  Like not enough breath flowed through their lungs, like something was constricting them.

[Percival]

"No. Sounds like a nice man, though."

 

Lagging behind the group to keep the creature concealed in her own shadow, she felt at ease enough to let the osteotome fall into her palm, though she still kept it concealed.

[Strangerdanger101]

"Did you just say Shadowfall sounds like a nice man?"

[Will]

Will notices Joseph's struggle to walk.

"Oh, sorry. I forgot to fix your legs. Jakob, we need to stop briefly. It'll take just a little bit, and Joseph can't help us fight if he can't walk."

Opening his pack, Will grabs a bunch of tools, gears, and other various metal tidbits. He lays down Joseph, and begins to finish the legs.

"The legs were nearing completion, they just needed a few more nuts, bolts, and artificial nerve endings."

"Did you even hear anyone say you could do this?"

"No. Why do you ask?"

After about 10 minutes of drilling, hammering, and pain on Joseph's part, his artificial legs were finished.

"Very nice. Now, let's move on."

[Blewcheese]

Joseph had clenched his jaw during the experience, not letting out a sound. He had a few rocks float to his hands for him to squeeze, but dropped them as his new legs were complete. "Th-Thanks." He bent one knee, then the other, before grinning slightly. For whatever reason, he decided to hold onto the cane, and he followed the group with much more ease.

 

"Hmm... Shadowfall isn't very nice..." Pops had been watched Joseph during his experience and patted him on the back lightly when it was done. "He plans to destroy, well, everything. We are on our way to defeat him. In order to do so, we must have a beacon, which has been stolen from us while we were stealing it from the mansion. So we're going to get it back so that we can get to Shadowfall so that we can defeat him. Understand?"

[Battal]

"Come on, people."  Jakob says, gritting his teeth.  "We have to keep going."

[Strangerdanger101]

Ayasha manages to keep up, but she seems tired.

[Percival]

"So you guys are going to steal an artifact that has been stolen from a person that you stole from someone who've been lucky enough to obtain it as a gift? Or something?"

[Tesability]

"You all mention a being called Shadowfall. In all my incarnations, I have never heard of such a name. It's...disconcerting." The talk of Shadowfall and this 'beacon' unnerved Entendre, the purple Hound placing one paw before the other as he walked along with this rag-tag group. There was actually something he didn't know? Was that the reason he was sent here, to find out about this strange being?

 

"Also, what is this Beacon you speak of?"

[Battal]

"The Beacon is a key of sorts.  It can break through Shadow Seals."  Jakob tells the hound.  "We need it in order to reach Shadowfall."

[Tesability]

Closing his eyes in thought at the mention of Shadow Seals, the canine wracked his brain in attempt to recall anything in reference to Shadow Seals. While there were plenty in his recall that could flag itself as a form of seal, he wasn't sure he recalled anything that may match what this group was referring to.

 

"Hopefully, once we get to where you all are headed toward, I'll be able to learn more about this mysterious being." Looking up toward the sky, toward the radiant sun above, Entendre's silver eyes held in them a sliver of worry. "I hope you understand what's going on better than I, Creator..."

[Battal]

Jakob snorts.  "What, are you going to ask him to kindly put off killing the human race so you can have an interview with him?"

[Tesability]

"Heh, you assume that's the only way to learn, mortal." There was a faint smirk on his muzzle at this statement as he cast a glance toward Jakob. "I must ask, what was that back at the mansion? I heard one of your group utter the name before."
