(Do I need to take out my Karmic water and douse you in it, Battal?

[Battal]

@Will

[Will]

Will's eyes slip open, and look directly into Dark Will. He mouths the word Snowfall. Dark Will simply closes his eyes and looks down, as tears begin to roll down Will's face. His eyes jolt open, and his eyelids begin to droop suddenly.

"Oh, f**k! He must be missing some of his organs... damn it all! I'm sorry, Violet."

Dark Will grabs Will's sword, and slices off Violet's arm in one, clean, motion.

"GOD DAMN IT, YOU COULD'VE WARNED ME!! GAAAH!"

Violet's detached arm quickly withers, and Dark Will takes a syringe from his pack. He pulls a gray liquid from his arm, and injects it into Will. He grabs he sword, and begins to cut out all of the metal that Shadowfall had inserted into him. Will makes no noticeable reaction. Soon, all of the metal is gone from Will's body, and he is but a head, arm, and an upper torso connected to a leg. The missing mass begins to reform, slowly at first, but picks up speed rapidly. Will's eyes close, as he falls unconscious. The mass finishes, then the skin forms over. Dark Will pulls clothes from the pack, and puts them over Will. A plain black polo shirt, a pair of black jeans, and a pair of black dress shoes.

"These were the first clothes Will wore in the Society grounds. He always keeps them with him."

Dark Will simply turns into a column of shadow, and disappears. Within minutes, he is pack with a large metal case. He tosses it to Pops.

"This is a bunch of medical supplies. I grabbed it from the Society. There will be genetically designed stem cells in there for Violet's arm, and plenty for any other injuries at all. There's also good food in there. I need to tend to Will. He'll be seen to by their best doctors. We'll be back by sunset with weapons, non perishable food, and more medicine."

Dark Will grabs Will in his arms, and is teleported back to the Society base.

[Will]

@Blewcheese, I know you're on. 

[Blewcheese]

Pops nods and grabs the bag, seemingly unfazed by the scene "Stem cells... Alright, Violet. Come." He reaches into the bag and grabs the stem cells.

(Listen, can't a guy start writing a post, get distracted, forget about this, come back and remember it half an hour later? Yeesh.)

[Percival]

(Limb chopping, hooray!)

[Battal]

(K, if Will doesn't make a move soon, I'll just continue.)

[Will]

Just as sunset hit, the Dark Will and Will are teleported down to the world. Dark Will is holding a large duffelbag, and Will is wearing a Krampus Sack.

"Alright, here are the weapons I promised."

​Dark Will places the bag down carefully, and unzips it. Inside, are a plethora of weapons and armor. Cyberkinetic-enhancing bracelets, knives, swords, and a large jar full of nightmare fuel. The biggest, however, was what looked like what would happen if you gave some little girls a bunch of sugar, paint, and a flamethrower. Will picks it up out of the bag.

"I missed this old thing. It was designed by one of my friends. It shoots out pure, concentrated light energy. Which also happen to by in the colors of the rainbow. Hense the design."

[Battal]

"I missed this old thing. It was designed by one of my friends."

 

(Stormfront?)

 

The group arms themselves and continues on their trek, the point of the battle fading away and then out of sight.  Eventually, they hear the sound of a falling tree far in the distance.  Then another.  And another.

[Will]

(No, Harlequin.)

"What the hell is that noise? It's too early for Deerclops, and I assume it isn't any Clockwork Rooks. Maybe a loose Ruins Guard?"

Will raises his Rainbow Thrower of Doom, ready to attack whatever hates nature.

"Good, I'm ready to have fun killing things for once."

[Battal]

The falling trees did not seem to be headed in their direction, and as they got closer, they could hear distinct chopping sounds.

[Will]

(Hmm... Woody, or a new character? Probably Woody in Werebeaver form.)

"It doesn't seem to be heading toward us. Should we go investigate, or should we just go were you guys were going?"

[Blewcheese]

Pops thought a moment. On one hand, it could be dangerous, and he was fairly weak after that last scene. On the other, it could possibly contain a valuable asset. And if they were to beat Shadowfall, he reasoned, they should probably take risks. "I say we head towards it."

[Battal]

The group continued towards the falling trees, wary of their surroundings in case it was a trap.  Coming over the ridge, they saw a vast site completely clear of trees.  The plain was dotted with small houses, and, in the distance, was a massive stonebrick lodge.  The trees seemed to be falling on the edge of this cleared area.

[Blewcheese]

"Hello?" Pops shouts, looking around for any sign of who, or what, had been felling the trees.

[Battal]

Pop's yelling dislodges the rock ledge and everyone falls to their death.

 

Nobody seems to react to the yell.

[Blewcheese]

(You and your fake scenes.)

Pops sighs. "Whaddya say we go knocking on some doors?"

Meanwhile, Joseph stirrs slightly.

[Will]

"The stem cells worked, it seemed. Their limbs should soon work just like normal. Just give it some time."

Dark Will walks up to Pops, and leans close to him.

"He does not remember anything about being that thing, or after he was turned back to normal. The last thing he remembers is injecting himself with the monster juice."

[Blewcheese]

(Sorry, just clarification here - Dark Will's talking about Will, right?)

[Will]

(yes.)

[Blewcheese]

(Alright, thanks.)

"Should we not tell him?" Pops whispers back to Dark Will.

[Will]

"I don't think we should. Not yet. He's not ready to hear it."

[Blewcheese]

Pops nods. And looks at the others. "Alright, would anyone like to start recruiting here?"

[Battal]

And so, the group climbs down to the field, excited to boost their numbers a bit.  Upon reaching where the trees were falling, they find a sizable camp.  The camp is populated by bipedal pigs, much like the one they saw sacrificed in the arena.  One of the pigs approaches them, a happy smile plastered across his face.

 

"Me say hello to friends!"  He says, waving to the group.  He thumps a hoof to his chest.

 

"Me is Aemilian."  He says, clearly thrilled about this name.  "I work for my bester friend.  But you be friends too!"
