The flower's dead. Good.
But now there's a dragon on the loose. Not good.

I unsilence the air. No loud noises anymore, no need to keep everything quiet. There's at least one person I'm sure who will be very annoyed with me for doing that anyways.

Now then, what to do with the dragon?
I slam it to the ground in a rush of air pressure. I hold the pressure for now, as I turn to the other thing that happened...

Zblader apparently... possessed Eva?

I have no idea why he would do that. I feel his character disappear from the world as the twinned Fin begins to take off. He's really gone.

I turn to Eva. She has the power to easily lock ZBlader away forever. But I have no control now- she's running Fin separately from me.

As long as Fin keeps going, there's no way that ZBlader's coming back...

That... was a very interesting action to make as the first on 9 pages, patchx. :P
I've been debating between taking on the role of being the creator of the "memetic identity" Azure (if EvaRia can do it, we should all be able to do it), or just down-right going against EvaRia's ability, Fin, and its effects it because it destroys the fabric of the characters in a story and creates a new one around our real-life "characters" (or personas, rather) controlling our Special Powers! characters by writing about them. And if everyone has the ability to completely go against the physics of the Special Powers! world, even if its frequency of use is limited, then it'll be way too hard to develop character traits, show character growth, and drop hints and foreshadowing.

Hmm...

For now it's tough to say. I was mainly using it as a showcase ability-- I didn't have to but I''m mainly posting in this thread to show what EvaRia can do as a character, and the Memetic thing is part of it. I created a storyline (that I haven't shared with anyone-- it's pretty long) that more or less explained how it happened.

Basically, answer this question: Does your character realize that it's a character in a story? Or does your character think it's the real world?

Zblader (As the official GMs) has what he calls his "Other" powers as well, and as such it requires that he know that this is a story.

As long as your character does not know that this is a story that people in the "Real World" are writing, than you can assume that you didn't even know I made the Rewrite.

And I don't plan on using it again, rather than Sylph (my air powers) and staying in existence.

Just to confirm : I'm aware that it's a story, hence my ability to temporarily erase myself and possess others. (Shortened to "Possess")


Disappear.... with the cold winds...

The dragon... won't stop.

"Imagination."... wait. Why did I say that? Something... a flash drive?... appears in my hand.

"METAL!"

It's dissolved... into my body.

Dragon... your wings are heavy with steel....

Now burn... by my hand....

So many ran. Unfortunate... we were stronger... together...


1. Imagination.
2. Weigh the Dragon's wings with steel. Lots and lots of steel, compressed into the space on it's wings.
3. Burn the grounded dragon to death with my red beast hand.

Note : I should've seperated on EvaRia's turn (3 different users Posted), but apparently I had to stay in Eva for a bit. I'm separating back automatically after someone else posts next.

The thing is, I could say that Azure was just some old king with infinite power who has been hiding it all this time and will now unleash his real power by remaking the world...but only once, if you guys want.
I thought that, to develop more than the power we submitted with our character application, we would have to show the character gaining the power within the story through reasonable turns.
Now, Zblader can take control of people and it seems we've run into yet another contradiction, where EvaRia claims that Zblader is gone.

But, despite Eva's power to "easily lock ZBlader away forever", Zblader can still act from within Eva one last time before his possess runs out, iirc.

Destroying physics and meddling with others' characters, such as by mass-teleporting their locations, makes it difficult for people to follow the story without reading through all the posts and noting all the subtleties that lie within each player's actions.

Yeah, now might be a good starting point to get things back to normal since the Ruby Dragon died.

Everyone regroup on your next action if you're not near a group already.

Me, EvaRia, an alien, artimies7, ddevans96, ninjamaster1991 and Izaya are close enough to be considered a group currently from their last posts. Everyone else ran in random directions.

Alright, I'm back in. From now on I'll put everything that designates an action in italics.


I open my eyes. The first thing I think is 'My back freaking hurts', which usually isn't a good thing. It seems I fell unconscious somehow in the fight with the noodle chimera, and I'm definitely below ground. By this time I realized I'm only a large pile of rubble caused by a massive cave-in.

Slowly and silently, I get up and brush myself off. There seems to be a ton of entities around, but none of them are looking at me. so I also channel my inner Forge and create an amulet. For later use. Then I take two caltrops and retreat to a corner look at one of the people.

"Imagination," this person says, which confuses me. After a while, I decide to toss the caltrops at this person, aiming right for the inner calves.

dd, you got :darkness .


What are you trying to make me do, stay fused with Eva forever?! Wait... I'm conscious again. That means....

Something's.... going at me.

Windstep. Behind that man.

Ahhh!


I stumble backwards as the fusion goes apart and the beast hand detaches and reforms into me.  Eva recovers much quicker than I do and stills the air around the now-awake ninja.

Ria... he's waken up.


I can only collapse on the ground, and focus my will to regenerate the items in my possession - Ragnarok, the Cure Paralysis Potion, and my phone.


1) Regenerate items.
2 and 3) Rest.

I watch as the life is taken from my Ruby Dragon... thank goodness, there was no way I could have done that with no pets.
  I slowly get to my feet and look towards the sky, Hollowed Beasts is gone now, where will I belong now?
In answer to this, I chose a random direction and began to walk, after a moment I summoned a Wyrm and mounted it, asking it to take me above the tree line so that I could look in all direction.

3: Mount and fly above tree line

So, what sort of mobile plan you got on that phone, ZB?

1: Start running over in the direction that...that...flying worm guy is heading in.
2: Keep running, eyes to the sky.
3: Trip over ? ? ?.
