Tera Roth wondered for a moment if Nulix was being serious, as he really didn't think that the extremes he often went to for food, or how he had a growing mound of dirty tissues at the foot of his bed from waking up sneezing every morning, or the things he did while on the job...could really be considered serious. But he simply shrugged and smiled.
Unless I do something bad...Like lighting a paper plate on fire...or dropping a cold turkey in a pan full of grease...JK, XD.
"I don't remember Jette," Tera Roth said. "And Huck Finn wouldn't be the example I would use to describe what I went through. I was stuck fighting the Virus for six months. How do you think I know so much about it?"
I have a party planned for tomorrow night. I managed to invite 6 people...Wow...
OOC: Filler shmiller... BIC: Tera Roth stopped for a moment. "I............don't remember."
Ah, well, can't change where you were born. You got anything fun planned?
Tera Roth began doing squat thrusts, wincing from the pain in his leg.
Not here...I had to go to school in the middle of a blizzard with 4 inches of snow on the road, and ice underneath...They don't close for anything...
OOC: Fine, I'll just look it up...(What a pain...) BIC: "In the meantime," Tera Roth said, closing his phone. "What are we going to do?"
It's true, XD. Man, I wish winter would end already. It got warmer, and then got colder then ever. I hate the cold...
Tera Roth nodded, and immediately sent a multi-text with top priority to all his contacts. He waited for a moment, then nodded. "All of the Guardians will be here within three hours. Alyt and Niles can be here within half an hour, and there are a few others." OOC: Mental list of the Guardians via right now: Highwind, Magna, Patrick, Shiva, Simon, Tera Roth, Tyre, Maria, Ziya... Alyt and Niles... Cydnee Lark, Benjamin Cross (two guys you haven't met yet)... And Nulix who was that guy who was Vecked's friend from way back when, whom I'm always forgetting his name....I might or might not use him but I might as well keep him ready because I did do that whole plot thing with him.
Meh, I've had the day off too...Some kind of flu going around that's put me "under the weather." XD, but at least I gotta skip out on a test I...
Hi, Hidden! What's up?
Tera Roth shrugged again. "I can get in touch with them, if you want. But, you're right. Perhaps Tyre would be in your league, but he's water. You'd need an earth user." Tera Roth sighed. "So maybe it didn't help. Still, if you had Wing, Vecked, and another fire user..." He pulled out his cell phone and began looking at a list of people he knew, trying to find an adequate fire user. "Magna. She'd work. There might be others, but she was the first one I came across. Should I contact her?"
Tera Roth hobbled up. He'd had someone check out the burn, but the doctors' only suggestion was to not use his leg for six weeks. Yeah, right. "You're forgetting something; you don't necessarily need two people with the exact level of power," Tera Roth said, leaning against a wall. "You could have three wind users, and one flame user, or sixteen water users, and nine earth users. It doesn't matter, so long as the powers are opposite and are equal to each other." He shrugged. "That should make things a lot easier."
OOC: I'm pretty sure I mentioned he was gone already...Twice... Anyway, I gotta go.
Tera Roth concentrated on the area, sending twilight into it. He met the dark mutating hatred he'd sensed before and nearly vomited. The pain was incredible. "Nu-uh," Tera Roth said. "You're not beating me." Slowly, slowly, he exorcised the darkness into a sphere contained by twilight. Gritting his teeth with the effort, he slammed it into a broken tree, which promptly lit on fire. On his leg was left a severe burn. Tera Roth limped to his feet. "What next?" he said, ignoring the burn.
Mordeth promptly disappeared, as he'd accidentally fallen on his own sword. "Yeah, I mentioned that," Tera Roth said, gasping with pain as the black spread along his leg. "Ugh, this kills. So I guess touching him would be a bad thing."
Mordeth just smiled. The ground seemed to be writhing away from his feet. He raised a hand and a bug near Nulix's head exploded, sending a blast of air, guts and sound that threw him to the ground. The blast didn't seem to have any other effect other than leaving him with a ringing in his ear and dizzy, but... Mordeth walked forward, the ground seeming to groan in agony. Tera Roth looked up. "Um, I'm not dead..." He tripped Mordeth and gasped in pain as his leg turned black where he'd touched the man. Still, Mordeth fell to the ground with a painful grunt, his sword ending up in his stomach. He disappeared rather quickly. "Urg," Tera Roth groaned, grabbing his leg. "What...is this? Nulix, you all right? Xane?"
OOC: Sorry I'm so slow...My computer's wheezing... BIC: Mordeth chuckled, and the plants around him wilted black, and crumpled to ash. "I am death itself." From his side, unnoticed before, he drew a pitch black rapier that seemed to suck in the light. "Or, as you prefer, I am the untouchable essence of the end of a life, whether it be physically dying or the end of a stage of life, or the end of an era. Corruption, war, and genocide all breathe of me."
