This was Odain's second time powering up and after the fight of the fae's she wasn't sure why she was even continuing this crazy larp-style fest these hooligans had. Maybe it was some intense desire to figure out what the hell people were thinking.
She also didn't understand why that woman was draining a passerby. Maybe there was someone out there with more information, more know how... more. . . Something?
"Ugh, these larpers I swear. They get skimpier style outfits every year. This must be what's in." Truth be told about it, Odain secretly loved the fuku . . . though she was worried about what would happen when cold weather came. As it would eventually come. She'd feeze her tushie off, and it was too nice of a tushie to freeze off.

Bimini did not have to worry about frozen tushes in his outfit. Swaddled quite protectively in many layers of robe and sashes he was actually quite thankful that the fabric was so breathable and pleasant in the summer. It was frozen feet that were the issue. But then, there was never a good season for his lack of ******** shoes when powered up.
It was his meeting with another Cosmos knight recently that had him out and about again, far more interested in the prospect of making more friends then of fighting monsters. So as he made his way down the streets he hunted for friendly auras.
"Oh score!" He piped up happily when he noticed the glint of silver on the ground, bending down to pick up the quarter. And then suddenly it hit him, the subtle pulse of another knight nearby. Well wasn't it just his lucky day?
Soldiering onward, free arm swinging comically back and forth in his half march, half run Bimini followed the source, calling out from a far when he noticed a figure in the distance. "Olly olly oxen free!" From the aura he was pretty sure the person in the distance was the knight he was looking for, but he wasn't quite close enough to tell. Oh well if it wasn't, it certainly wouldn't be the last time Bimini, or Corey, made a damned fool of himself.

Odainsaker paused when someone called Olly, Olly, oxen free. Her brow lofted as she turned to look to see who or what it was. Feeling some sort of energy coming at her. Her eyes narrowed as she watched him approach.
This fellow didn't seem like he was a trouble maker at least, "So you're into this larping stuff too huh?" Her arms folded over as she stood there looking at him. Wondering what in the world everyone wanted to do this stuff for. Though she was still trying to figure out all this nonsense. Which was weird for Alice, because she was usually the first one to love dressing up and running around pretending. This somehow though felt wayyy more serious than what she was use to.
She was debating if she should wait for him to speak to her beyond that, or just straight up ask him who the DM was.

Yep, the aura was definately coming from the person in front of him and from the voice that person was a woman. When he registered her question however he couldn't help but laugh. "Haaa.. no. I'm not a larper. I'm a geek but I'm not that kind of geek." Or was he..? He was running around in stupid clothing pretending to fight stuff. And his weapon was more like a joke/toy then an actual weapon. But.. he wasn't calling out attacks and hitting people with pieces of paper, and his enemies most certainly weren't attack with paper or foam either.
He'd been bracing the distance between them slowly but surely, robes swishing, dumb big grin plastered to his face. "Just your average everyday Squire of th..." Ho-ly s**t!
The street lights had finally fully illuminated her and Bimini had stopped abruptly, fairly certain that it was not a knight at all, but a goddess. He didn't even register that she was a fellow Cosmos knight, instead simply gawking at the smoking hot body clearly visable through the delicate and sheer fabrics.
"C.. Cosmos." He choked out finally, once he realized he'd been standing there with his mouth literally open for probably half a minute. Very smooth. Very uncreeper like behavior.
But what could he say, his eyes were transfixed. She looked straight out of a rpg. Wild and fancy colored hair, seemingly perfect body, and an entirely impractical outfit that accented all the right places.

Odainsaker's brow quirked, higher and higher as this fellow said he wasn't a larper. He wasn't that kind of geek. "Then, dressed like that, what sort of geek are you?" She pressed.
He was talking about your average everyday squire of -- and then he paused fairly awkwardly -- Bela knew her outfit was fairly damned revealing but come on, she was covered where she was suppose to be. Her brows lofted further when he said Cosmos. "Squire of Cosmos . . . ?"
She wrinkled her nose, "I'm somehow lead to believe I'm a Page of this Cosmos . . . but seriously where's the DM. Who the hell is running this game?" Her arms were crossed, "Because I didn't actually sign up for this job."
Her hands were on her hips and she was looking as if she was sorely put out. Not knowing really what was going on didn't help a thing either. Odainsaker wasn't about to give up on this was some sort of weird game. Even if this were the vigilantes and terrorists that they kept talking about on the TV. "Maybe you can help me since you seem to have gained enough experience in this game to have become a squire?"

She was making fun of his clothing..? I mean it wasn't like HE hadn't made fun of his knightly robes a billion times, but it was somehow worse when a cute girl did it. It was like he back in highschool. "Well... I didn't really choose this outfit.." He said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly with his free hand.
But the shot to his confidence wasn't enough to kill the jovial squire's mood entirely. "My choice of geekry tends to be videogames. Laser tag. And pop culture - 80's through the present. And air guitar solos." He added the last one for good measure because you know.. if he was already screwed you might as well go for broke..
When she said that she too was a page of Cosmos his eyes turned back to her outfit, finally beginning to make out some of the similar details. The rainbows, the stars. The delicate soft curve of her waist as it... Woahhh. His eyes averted again, laughing awkwardly.
"Oh uhh.. I guess if anyone is like.. the DM.. that'd be the code? But it's a pretty silent DM most of the time."
"And nobody chooses this s**t. It's like the good old days of war. You get drafted, to hell with the fact that there are probably soliders out there far more capable."
Help her..? Confidence reinstated! Until he looked up at her slightly annoyed pose, hands propped on her hips, a position that only helped to puff her chest out more. And he was grinning like a moron praying to god, Cosmos, budda, Celestia, the code, and just about every other deity that the girl in front of him wasn't jail bait because she was killing him. "Sure. I'll help if I can."
"Oh, uh. I'm Bimini by the way."

She paused when the squire said he didn't really pick the outfit. Her brow lofted a little and made a noise, "I see, that explains a little bit." She looked at her own outfit. It was totally not anything she'd choose -- well not her first choice for a larp outfit. "I'm surprised if this is the sort of costumes the DM supplies us with, some of us don't get arrested for indecent exposure."
She shook her head though when he mentioned video games, laser tag, and other pop cultures her attention was perked a bit. "Oh well, at least there's something I can relate to a little bit." She shrugged.
She paused when he said he guessed the GM was the code. "Where's this code? I'd like to speak to them." She said as he said this code was a silent DM.
There was another brow quirk when he mentioned war and draft. "Wait... war? Draft? Ahaha, you're joking me right? This is just some crazy a** larp game, surely it's not some real war?" She looked a little concerned, and was trying to figure out what the hell was actually going on.
"Odainsaker, I believe. . . . at least that's what keeps popping into my head."
She paused, "You're sure this isn't some weird a** dream about larping?"

"Yeah, some of the outfits get kind of crazy." He agreed, though in truth she was the uhh.. least dressed he'd personally ran into. Though it wasn't like she was any less dressed then the girls at the beach it just.. was a lot more obvious with all the sheer fabrics and sparkles.
The thought of her clothing escaped him the moment she mentioned any share interests, however. In fact he might have been standing there grinning like a boy half his age at the prospect.
But he was supposed to be being helpful right? At her question he scratched his cheek thoughtfully with a finger, before pointing up at the sky. "So you see... The code is this magical scroll or something way up in space. But in some super convoluted way it's also at each of our Wonders. It's basically this magical voice that'll talk to you sometimes."
"Sometimes literally, other times more like.. a feeling you have. The force maybe." He was by now balancing his bowl on one hand, running his finger around the rim. "Anyway, I think the code helps us power up and occasionally speaks up when it wants something. But for the most part we're on our own."
As she balked at the idea of the war he couldn't help but grimace a little. The page must have been pretty new if she hadn't clued onto that yet, he was actually kind of bummed to have to be the one that barred the bad news. "It's unfortunately not a game at all." Even if Bimini himself sometimes treated it like it was. "There are actual monsters running around town. And worse than the monsters there are actually some people running around hell bent on hurting, killing, or corrupting you.:
"And if that happens there aren't any continues or do overs. Just game over if you lose."
But those were dreary thoughts and Bimini had never been a dreary sort. Puffing out his chest and trying to look as manly as possible (which was not manly at all thanks to pastel sparkle robes and ribbons of doom) he gave a wide silly smile. "Luckily you found yourself a big strong knight to help keep you safe."
Odainsaker. It was nice. A little long, but certainly not a a mouth full or anything.LP Youma soonish or did you want to ask a few more questions? :3

Iris_Virus Youma incoming sounds great
When he paused talking about the code her face contorted into an 'are you serious' look and even to an 'omg your serious' look. "What the hell is it doing in space? Further more what's a wonder. I just... I think you're serious but it sounds like everyone's been smoking some serious stuff too." Really, what where they on some weird space trip?
"Huh, so it's 'may the force be with you' and not here padawan have a teacher. There's much to learn, but yet don't screw up because you don't have a Jedi master for a teacher." She crossed her arms and sighed, really Spielberg out did himself on this one.
Her stare deadpanned, "Okay I'm in some Crazy MMO Larp. Where's the game plug. I'd like to get out." She totally didn't like this whole idea of game over, nada, nill. No redos. "I didn't sign up for this sort of crazy non-sense. And I sign up for all kinds of crazy non-sense on the cosplay, reactors level. This sounds like it's the job for the professionals.
I mean after all if there's somethin' strange in the neighborhood; who you gunna call?"
She paused, "Not me." Odain answered this as if she expected it to stop the nightmare or change it. She stood there a moment and sighed, " . . . Yeah I found a big strong knight alright." She was looking at him as he puffed out his chest almost comically. Though she was still bewildered and something seemed to be itching at the back of her mind.
She was looking around. "Sooooooooooooo...... how do you tell when there's something bad?"

There was a look of pure empathy as Odainsaker reacted to the information he'd given her on the code. Yeah.. he knew it sounded crazy. And horrible. And dumb. But regardless he continued on the best he could in his exposition (haaa, he was like the videogame tutorial section!).
"Okay so like... Every knight is connected to a planet or homeworld of some sort. Ours is kind of the weird one because our home is like.. the whole Cosmos versus all of us being from like.. Mars."
"But on each of those homeworlds there are little magical places called Wonders. I guess in the past we used to protect them from.. something?? But now uhh... they just give us the powers to turn into knights and fight stuff I guess." His hand gestured up at space again, making a swirly motion. "So somewhere out there in space there is a place called Odainsaker just waiting for you."
He let her go on her rant, not only because he understood her confusion and frusteration, but also out of sheer flabberghasted awe. Star Wars, MMO's, Ghostbusters, cosplay? She was WAYY too ******** hot for all that geekry and his heart just could not take what he was witnessing. Like he'd literally died during his last battle and gone to heaven, and this girl was his gift.
. . . Yeah I found a big strong knight alright.
Nope. Not heaven. Just the good old everyday earth and Bimini had just taken an arrow through his heart. KO.
Dejected, he shrugged a little. "Sorry. Almost everyone wants out but once you've powered up you're kind of screwed. Chaos just has a way of finding you..."
As if on cue, a loud bellow sounded, shaking the windows around them.
"Shiiiit." The squire grimaced, turning to try and see what was coming. Too bad he'd been busy paying attention to Odainsaker otherwise they could have maybe run away earlier.
"You've got spidey senses. You'll figure them out after a little bit of practice. Telling good from bad is super easy. But eventually you can pick out classes and power levels as well."
The creature appeared finally, slightly humanoid in shape, a 7 foot tall lumbering beast. It seemed slow enough, which was good, but... it hardly looked like a few measly punches were going to do it in. Fuuuck.
Punch or use his bowl? Try and climb the damn thing? With Odainsaker there his usual strategy of 'ahhh run!' was out. Bowl it was.
He made a face of uncertainty as he dumped his bowl of water out, knowing full well that he was screwing himself out of being able to use his magic during the fight. He'd lived a good life. If you were going to die it might as well be while trying to impress a pretty girl.
"Begone foul beast!!" Bimini yelled as he ran towards the youma, intent on swinging his little bowl at it as hard as he possibly could.

He was going through this like a video game tutorial and Odain was actually okay with this. She listened as he spoke. "But I thought Martian's came from Mars, there's clearly no one that screams martian. Well... maybe Mom's but. . . "
She shrugged slightly as he continued. "So I have . . . a save spot then? Or... well I guess it wouldn't be a save spot if I'm here." She was scratch the back of her head thinking about this, "I feel like it's a base in pokemon ruby, or sapphire. . . can I customize it?" She asked curiously. For some reason being willing to work with this in terms of games made her more comfortable.
Her eye seemed to twitch a little when he said she was out of luck, that Chaos had a way of finding her. "Soo, then the lady I .... 'fought' with when this arrow showed up was part of this Chaos then? Even though she had a little plastic fae wand?"
"I thought they'd be more intim--" She paused when there was a bellow, "idating... Like that." She was staring at the 7 foot tall beast and blinked. He poured the water of out his little bowl and then threw it at the monster.
"Really Spidey senses couldn't they have given us something like Jarvis instead?" She watched as he threw his bowl yelling begone foul beast. Like the piece of dinnerware would actually do something.
"Why didn't they give you freaking captain america's shield!?" She called looking at the beast before running after it. If she was going to be stuck in some nightmare watching a squire try to hit the thing with pottery she might as well try and help. Her wooden arrow appeared in her hand as she aimed it for the beast's knee. "Have a splinter." She said.

He couldn't help but smirk at the mention of a save spot, even if it wasn't particularly accurate. And after a slew of bad news he was quite thrilled to be the bearer of good news for once. "Actually, you CAN customize it if you like. Unless you have a really bitchy ancestor there, but even then it's not like they can do anything other than b***h at you all ghost like."
His bowl clanged as it smacked the youma, who acknowledged the attack but quickly recovered from it, trying to swat at the nearby squire.
Her requests for better equipment and Jarvis were thoughts he'd surely had over his time as a knight. And as such, he found himself grinning even as he attempted to dodge the trunk like arms of the youma. "I've come to the conclusion that there is someone up there laughing at us all. No other excuse for us all to start with such retarded weapons and useless magic." Speaking of useless weapons, his fingers gripped the bowl again, swinging it at the opposite knee that Odainsaker had hit.

Odain stopped and looked at him, "Ohhh, even better!" She said and paused, "Wait ghosts? Ancestors? Good lord Splinter, you're going to have to show me some ropes or someone will."
She chuckled a bit as his bowl clanged. She side jumped with a tuck and roll that seemed fairly acrobatic. "Well at least doing the renfest has paid off. I managed to learn something useful."
She nodded when he said he had came to the conclusion that someone somewhere was laughing at them. "Maybe we have to be the court Jester before we can be trusted as knights. Which seems so silly." She moved and grabbed the arrow that was lodged into the creatures knee. Trying to pull him down as she struck the back of it's knee at the same time.
The page was hoping to bring him down to a more manageable height. "So explain this thing to me?" She said pointing at the monster, "What is this and why is it here?"

As the youma flailed in pain one trunk-like arm caught Bimini in the gut, flinging him away like a rag doll, before it indeed crashed to the ground. With it's size and speed, getting up would be a quite a feat, especially with an arrow dug into it's knee.
"Ma.. maybe not the best time for details." Getting up with a groan, he was sure going to miss the fact that he couldn't just zap away the ache in his chest and stomach after the battle, he attempted to approach again, spinning his ring around his finger until his skin began to glow with a subtle shimmer.
His aspect wouldn't last for too long, so he needed to use it while he could. With the youma momentarily grounded Bimini took the chance to jump on it's back, arms wrapped tightly around the creatures neck. And boy did the creature react.
The youma flailed, screeching with pain and anger as Bimini's skin made contact, the feeling of his aspect powers like acid against it's Chaotic skin. It was struggling and panicing now, between the pain at it's leg and the pain around the neck and back.
"Youma to be exact. But just think of it as a dungeon monster. Generally fairly stupid. Always aggressive and happy to eat you. Not a smart idea to not finish them off unless you're absolutely out of your league and need to retreat." He was yelling, strangely calm for once. "It's when you bring in the human opponnets that things get weird and more complicated."

Odain ducked the arm when it came from the front however, she missed it when it swung at her back clipping her back and causing her to lose her breath for a little bit. As Bimini spoke about maybe not the best time for details.
She nodded agreeing at that point. There was a pause as he glowed? Her mouth agape. "Holy pearls batman you glow!" She said when she found her breath and voice. How did he do that? It was so awesome.
She took the time as the youma was. . . burning? from his touch!? "THATS SO HARRY POTTER AND VOLDERMORT!" She seemed excited at the connection before moving to punch the creature in the face. . . actually she hoped she didn't punch Bimini instead. That would suck.
"Oh, well that's good to know. I'll have to try and sneak around the dungeon monsters. Shame I don't have some badass assassin skills. It would help in surprise attacks. . . " She mused. Right not a good idea to not finish them off. "Oh. . . I think I ran into one of those? When my twig appeared." Her Arrow was back in her hand as she had started to point to the beast's knee. . . she looked confused how did that happen?
