Title: Lyoko Journies[Sign-Up][CL]
Post by: Jcfraven on 2015 Nov 29, 00:38:00
Note: This is the main thread for the "Code Lyoko: Equestrian Shadows" roleplay. If you're looking for the Jump-In, go to "Royal Crown University[Jump-In][CL]" Thread.

All information regarding the roleplay is in the Sign-Up Thread(Located here: http://forum.legendsofequestria.com/index.php?topic=15426.0), but the story is reposted below:
Spoiler: show

Many moons ago, in a now-abandoned factory in the city of Canterlot, a system was made by the secret order of the crown, that could be used to control the city and Equestria as a whole, which was to be used by the order and the rulers of the land to monitor and control whatever was needed. After a short time of it being active however, strange occurrences began happening, leading to the shutting down of the system, and the abandonment of the factory as a whole, for a reason never disclosed. As a new student of the Royal Crown University, and somepony interested in mystery, Raven Star decides to check out this old factory, and what he finds he may end up wishing he never did.


Note to the Moderators and the curious: This thread is only for Factory/Lyoko Sequences in this roleplay, thus this won't be as commonly used as the Jump-In Thread, so if it appears inactive, that's why.

Now, to start this off, here's the first post:
Spoiler: show

Trotting along a rarely-trodden-upon path, a stallion of grey makes his way into the old factory of Canterlot, on the hunt for any sort of technological equipment perhaps left behind when it was abandoned.

Soon he arrives, and finds that it's rather easy to get into, strange considering the possible danger. After spending some time looking around and finding nothing of any true worth to him, he was about to leave, before noticing an elevator shaft, that still looked in fairly decent shape. Curiosity consuming him, he proceeds to go into the elevator, and clicking the floor button of the floor nearest to him, unmarked. After a few seconds, the elevator surprisingly moves, carrying him down into whatever is below the factory.

Before too long, the doors of the elevator open to reveal a big room, a rather strange one at that. There appeared to be something in the floor, but otherwise it was fairly empty. He then proceeds to travel one more floor below, finding a room with four total unidentified pods. Finally, he goes one more floor below, and finds a switch, connected to a large machine, which appears to be a power switch. Looking at it, he thinks to himself whether or not he should flip it.

"Well, I won't know what it is until I do, I suppose," The grey stallion states, proceeding to grasp the switch with his magic.

"Let's hope I won't have regrets after this.." He says, before flipping it, turning on the mysterious device, blinding him for a few seconds from the bright light emitted from it. Looking at it again, he sees that it's active, and goes back up to the first floor he went down to, to see if something had changed. Sure enough, the before-hidden machine is now visible, and looks to be a sort of computer of sorts, a chair also present. Taking a seat, he boots into the computer.

"Wow, this is an incredible set-up," He says, typing on the keys with his hooves((which works, because you know, logic and all that), looking around in it. After a bit, a feed pops up, of a female..human?

"Woah, there's a virtual girl in there. Interesting how it was programmed like the humans of legend," He thinks out loud, the girl on the screen waking up in the process.

"Hello?" She states, making the stallion be taken aback.

"You can talk?" He asks.

"I suppose so, considering I currently am," She responds, making him rub the back of his head.

"True. So, who are you? Also, what is all of this?" He inquires, as the girl looks back a bit confused.

"I'm not sure what my name is, and I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to, but if you're talking about where I am, I'm in my home, a tower of sorts," She replies.

"Well, until we figure it out, how about I just call you..Leafa?" He offers off the top of his head, given the color of her hair and clothing.

"I suppose that should be alright," Leafa says. "What is yours?" She asks, as he realizes he never introduced himself.

"Oh, right! My name is Raven, Raven Star," Raven responds.

"Hm, I like that name, suits your colors," She says, making him blush a bit. He eventually finds a map of sorts of the area Leafa is in.

"T-Thank you. In any case, Leafa, is there any way for you leave where you are currently, and give me a visual of what you see?" He requests.

"I suppose I can try," She says, before looking around her resting place, the interior of a tall structure. Going to the end of one of the shorter legs of the platform she's on, she touches the wall, not able to locate anything.

"Raven? There's not anything her-" She begins to say, before finally discovering the "door", exiting into the world of Lyoko.

"Leafa? Are you alright?" He asks, a bit concerned.

"I'm fine, I'm trying to get you a visual," She responds, before allowing him to view what she was seeing.

"That's amazing, it's a whole virtual world of sorts," He says excitedly, pulling up more information found on the computer. In the mean time, Leafa was going around, before encountering two creatures in front of her.

"Um, Raven? There appears to be two..creatures in front of me," She states, worriedly.

"Creatures? Amazing! There's a system of life programmed on there as well, this is.." He rambles on, as one of the creatures takes aim at Leafa.

"Raven?" She states as he's rambling, before one of them starts firing at her. "Raven! They're attacking me!" She shouts, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Run back to where you were, I'm assuming that tower!" He states to her, who gladly agrees. After dodging the firing, she makes it back into the tower safe and sound, to the relief of both.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

"Yes, thank you. I don't know what those were, I can't seem to remember much of anything," She says, downcast.

"It's alright. I think I've discovered a few things worth noting. You're in a world known as Lyoko, a virtual world of unknown origin. In the world, there are different sectors, the Forest Sector, which I believe you're in, the Desert Sector, the Ice Sector, and the Mountain Sector. Each of these have towers like yours, but I'm unsure why. I'm also not sure how to access them, but we'll figure that out later, I suppose. I need to head back to my school, but I'm going to attempt to connect Lyoko to my computer so I can stay in contact with you and research the world a bit more. I'll try to find more information for you, alright?" He explains.

"That sounds fine, thank you, Raven," She says, smiling. Raven smiles back, and copies some files to his personal flashdrive he brought with him.

"Not a problem, I'll see you later, Leafa," He replies, before heading back up to the elevator, to go back to the school.

*I'm aware that was a horrendous first post on every possible level. The good news is, I shouldn't have to make a long one again for a while, so we shouldn't have another situation to that effect. This was to serve as a basic introduction to the story, simply to start it.

As the factory came into view, the mare gasped at the size of it. She never seen a factory like this before. The abandoned building loomed over the group as the slowly approached the main entrance. The rustic appearance placed the mare in a trance as her mind wondered off onto the millions of possibilities this factory had in store for them. The mare slowly made her way toward the door. It was a stuck, but Bon Mot was able to force it open. Rust and dust flew off the door as she poked her head inside. Little dust particles danced in the spot light that the window provided for them. As she stared at the show, a wave of feelings rushed over her. A part of her was scared. A part of her was worried. A part of her wanted to turn back. . . A part of her was determined. The feeling of determination and adventure soon took over her feelings of doubt. While the mare continued to stare into the rustic building she asked,
Bon Mot: . . . . . . . . . . . .
So. . . . . . .  . . . . .

Is this really the place? . . . . . . . .

"Yep..home..sweet home.." He says, coughing more from the additional material in the air.

"We need to head..to the elevator..over there," He continues, pointing.

"Here's hopin' we don't get Tetanus or something..." Illusion had said quietly to himself as he entered the building, looking around as if expecting something to jump out at the group from the shadows.

Finding nothing for the time being, he began making his way to the elevator. "I know it's painfully obvious, but stay close, alright?"

Post by: FakeSmile on 2015 Dec 01, 20:00:43
Bon Mot: No duh, dork! I've seen enough movies; splitting up is always a bad idea.
The mare said as she walked along side Illusion. . . The air felt still; as someone had paused time . A warm feeling started to burn within Bon Mot. Being inside the factory felt unreal to her. Her excitement for the game slowly started to reappear as she took each step toward the elevator. A faint smile formed as her heart started to race. Once she took her first step into the elevator, the fear started to kick in. It was visible in her eyes that she was scared. . . But her smile could fool anyone.

Once the whole gang got into the elevator, the door closed the door. She waited for Raven to push the buttons and enjoyed the ride down. Bon Mot stood in silence; she didn't really know what to say. The mare just closed her eyes; trying to clear her thoughts before the big operation started.

Eventually they arrive at the supercomputer room((I think that's the name of this room)), and Raven, tripping up every now and again, gets to his chair, and boots up the system.

"Welcome to..home base," Raven says, smiling.

"I'm assuming this is where the magic happens..." Illusion had said, watching as his tech-savvy friend worked with the over-sized rig.
"So do we just head down now, or do we have to wait on that? Get it warmed up, maybe?"

"You guys can..go ahead, I'll be..gdtting it prepared for you," He says, before turning on the vidcom and his headset.

"Leafa? You there?" He asks rather redundanntly, knowing the probable answer.

"Yes, I am..my tower is still surrounded though, so I haven't been able to investigate any," She states.

"That's fine..I have my friends..they'll soon transfer..and help," He says.

"Alright, make sure they're careful," She replies.

"I will. Did you locate anything..regarding the..symbol?" He inquires, to her shaking her head.

"I couldn't find anything from here, but you probably could," She says.

"I suppose I'll do that..while you guys are..investigating," He responds.

Bon Mot eyes widen as she looked at the room. She never seen anything like this before! There was not time to explore the room; they had bigger fish to fry. The mare nodded at Raven as she said,Bon Mot: Let's get thus show on the road!
Once she knew everyone was in the elevator, she pushed a button to bring them down to the scanner room. After a few silent minutes, the trio made it to the scanner room. A lump in her throat former as she stared at the massive chambers. . . . Raven didn't mention anything about getting into a pod! There was no time to sweat over the small stuff; they had business to take care of. As the made her way toward on of the chambers she said,
Bon Mot:
I guess this is it. . . . Let's go guys, we got a University to save. . .

Let's just pray nothing goes wrong... Illusion had thought as he entered one of the pods, heart racing as he waited to be sent into the virtual world for the first time.

"When you guys are in, be careful. I'm putting you guys a bit away from Leafa so you aren't immediately targeted by anything, to give you time to adjust. Don't draw attention to yourselves until you can do what you need to," He explains.

"Tell me when you guys are ready to do the transfer," He continues.

Raven's voiced startled the mare and she let out a shocked gasped. She took a view minutes to think this over. . . Of course there is still time to back out; he couldn't expect her to be able to go through this. She had no idea what this is or how they are actually going to get into the game. Even when they do, what is there on the other side? . . .  She had her friends though, so if she was going to put her life in danger atleast she wasn't alone. The mare closed her eyes and leaned her head back; she had to mentally prepare for whatever was going to happen. As she took a deep breath she declared,
Bon Mot: . . . . . . .
We are all in our pods, Raven. We are as ready as anyone could be. . . You the man Raven, get us in there!

"Go for it, pal." Illusion had said, taking a moment for his own deep breath. It was quite a plunge they were making, after all. "Let's get this part done quick, before my nerve fails me."

"Alright, starting the procedures," He says, while doing so, booting up the necessary programs.

"Transfer, Bon Mot. Transfer, Illusion. Transfer, Match," He states, as the procedure starts.

"Scanner, Bon Mot! Scanner, Illusion! Transfer, Match!" He continues, as cards appear on the screen, showing humans in place of the ponies being transferred. Matching each to their owner, he continues, amazed that the theory was correct, and excited alike.

"Virtualization!" He shouts, hitting a key, sending them into the supercomputer, transferring them into Lyoko.

Illusion wasn't really quite sure what he'd seen during the process, and he wasn't quite sure he was meant to have seen anything, but the next thing he knew, he was falling from the sky.

For about maybe ten feet, landing hard on his face.

"Ow... Talk about dropping in..." He had said upon sitting up, rubbing at his face, particularly his nose.
Of course, that's when he noticed the hands. "Whoa... Wow..." And after a little test, he found that all ten fingers worked perfectly, more than responsive to his command.

With a grin on his face, the next thing he did was run his new fingers through his mane hair, but had soon felt a peculiar sensation in his... furry ears? "What?"
It was true. He still seemed to have his old ears on the top of his head, twitching at his own touch. Just a bit fuzzier. Or, no, were they from some other animal? A fox? He was half-tempted to do certain things behind the ears, but suppressed the urge.

Disturbingly enough, the flat fleshy ears he associated with humans just plain weren't there.
His hair hid that fact well enough, but it was most certainly a strange concept to get used to.

And then there was the tail... A gently swishing, ridiculously fluffy tail that Illusion found difficult not to repeatedly touch over and over. It was most definitely that of a fox's.
And did I even mention the clothes? It was like they came straight out of an anime, and Illusion was perfectly fine with that. With the chest-piece and thick gauntlets, the whole outfit was both stylish and safeguarding!

It even had a neat hood, too!

Illusion grinned. "This feels like something I could get used to..." He said upon standing. To his credit, he managed to maintain his balance until he took his first step on his new feet, before tripping over them and landing flat on his face. Again. "Ow."

Match stuck the landing in a heroic "crouched and punching the ground" sort of manner, but this display of heroism quickly fades as he rose to his feet and saw what he had become. Frozen with terror at what had been dine to him, Match stands completely still, staring at his ten-fingers hands.

[IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/25zo40n.png[/img](( I updated Bon Mots appearance to fit her fighting style better. ))


Bon Mot closed her eyes as she waited to be scanned. She took a few deep breaths to calm her nerves as she was slowly being put into the game. Her thoughts were clogged with concerns and questions about what is going to be in the new world. . . But those thoughts were interrupted as she could feel the wind through her mane. A concern look crossed her face; she found it odd to feel wind inside a chamber. Slowly she opened her eyes and was greeted by a whole new terrain. At first, she gasped with a smile; surprised that she was actually here. Then the gasped turn into fear as she realized she was falling from the sky. Naturally, she started to flail and scream till she hit the ground with a loud thud. Face down in the new ground, a soft whine could be heard from the mare. Her face was stinging from the impact, but didn't hurt as much as she thought it would.

Bon Mot scrambled to stand up in her usual pony fashion . . . Her eyes lit up in shock as she realized that her front hoofs were not hoofs. . . they were hands! Instantly she thought she turned into a monkey, since that was the only other mammal with hands she could think of. A high pitch scream escaped the gal's mouth as she stared at her hands. As she turned to Illusion she shrilled,
Bon Mot: AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Oh My Luna! Illusion! I turned into a mon-
Her words were replaced with a gasped as she saw her friend was also a monkey. . . But no like any monkey she ever seen before. . . Then something clicked in her head; Leafa looked sorta like what Illusion looks like now. Her eyes lit up as surprised gasp escaped from her.
Bon Mot: . . . . . . . .
Oh! We are what Leafa is! . . . Humans?
The gal stated as she attempted to stand. The attempt ended in failure and she fell back to the ground. She was surprised by the sudden amount of weight on her. The gal started to take a closer look at her self. . . Her legs covered in silver and she had golden boots on. . . Her arms had golden armor on and her gloves were silver. . . Her body was dressed in a golden knights armor. . . As she stared at all the gold in silver, her eyes were filed with a mixture of terror and joy. Finally, she wanted to make sure her mane was fine so she started to pat it. Something clinked on her gloves. . . She pulled whatever was on her head and gasped as she saw what it was. A little silver crown was resting on her head. All the fear and doubt washed away as her smiled swam back to the surface. The biggest smile she has ever smiled slowly took over her face. She held the crown high into the air for the others to see. With adventure in her eyes, and confidence in her tone she shouted,
Bon Mot: RAVEN DID IT! WE'RE HERE! WE ARE ACTUALLY HERE! WHOOOOOOOOOOO!
The girl jumped to her feet with a hardy laugh. Her legs felt like jelly, but that did stop her from twirling in her new body. The gal placed the crown back on her head, which made her smile grow even lager. Giggles and laughter filled the air while the gal danced around to celebrated their arrival.

The gal's giggles and laughter showed she was more than alright. The more she ran around, the better she got using her new legs. After running for a bit, she stopped and looked down at her hands again. She felt like a fairy tale knight wearing all this gold and silver. The mare looked around at the other gents. A big smile crossed her face; she had the coolest get up in her opinion. She saw that Illusion looked more like a fox than a human and quickly made her way toward him. While she circled him, she examined his new look. With a big grin she said,
Bon Mot: I can't believe you still have a tail here! Still, you look pretty cool! Not as cool as me, but you are the second coolest dude here!

Post by: Stryder221 on 2015 Dec 05, 21:01:15
Once he had gotten up, Illusion had continued to check himself out, but once he noticed he himself was being examined, he promptly started to pose dramatically. Or was it... indelicately?
He really didn't know any better, and he doubted Bon would know either way. With a grin on his face, though, he stopped anyway after a bit.

"So... does this make you the knight in shining armor, come to sweep the handsome prince off his feet?" He asked teasingly, leaning just a little closer as his grin turned cheeky.
"Ha! Just jokin'. Or am I? Well, either way, you don't look too bad yourself! Looks like you have a lot on your plate-mail, looking so cool. Not as amazing as certain people, but still."

Match looks down to see that his body also has metal armor covering it, though not nearly as much as Bon Mot. His was more of a breastplate and graves sort of deal, but he was certain that both the more casual appearance of his armor being layered over street cloths and the less hindering armor overall would prove to be vital boons in a fight. "S-so what now?" he asks, not really sure what to do.

"Good to know you're all good. I hate to stop the enjoyment, but we have a fair mare by the name of Leafa in need," He states.

"You should be able to attack, from what I can tell on the screen, try to figure that out, and then head towards the tower. There are three enemies there, apparently called Krankelats, so watch out for them when you do get there," He explains.

The gal gave Stallion a smirk; she found him referring to himself as a prince, and handsome was hilarious. But the goofball she is, she played along. She started to flex her muscles; to show off her armor and the guns they kept contained. In a sarcastic tone she said,
Bon Mot: Yeah, no one said being a knight will be easy. Naturally I was picked; this game already knew who was top pony. But. . .
Dramatically she got on one knee and took Illusions hand. She closed her eyes as a single tear fell from them. As she held his hand she dramatically stated,
Bon Mot: This game gave me a fairy-tail princess to protect. . . And protect, I shall. . . Unless I am in danger then you are on your own.
The gal opened one eye and gave the gent a sarcastic smirk. Once she let go of his hand, Bon Mot stood back up.

A large smile formed across her face as she listen to what Raven had to say. Knight Bon Mot had to find and/or rescue Princess Leafa. At least thats what she told herself; she thought she would mentally make this fun. With bravery in her heart she stated,
Bon Mot: Krankelats? Ha! Please, that doesn't scare a great knight like me! I, The Great Bon Mot, shall find my Princess Leafa and save our University! ON WARD TRUSTY CREW, ADVENTURE AND TREASURE  AWAITS US!
The gal let out a hardy laugh as she started to make her way through the land. With a satisfied smile, the gal took confident, and proud steps toward. . . The direction she thought was right.

Illusion just barely held back a chuckle at the theatrics, turning it into a disturbingly strangely giggle. He wasn't even annoyed, despite feeling a part of his masculinity dying on the spot.
"Why doesn't Raven just gimme the dress now and get it over with? Raven, don't do that." He said with a shake of the head and a laugh.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down a tad, Illusion initially walked after Bon, before doing turning a complete 180 on his heel and going the other way.

"Apart from the fact that the monsters are in front of the tower? Not really. I'm not even entirely sure what the target is yet, that's up to you guys as well. I'm starting to bet it has something to do with a tower such as that one," He replies.

Bon Mot turned along with Illusion as she continued to confidently march. Her face read champ, but her eyes read loser. But of course this isn't her fault, she just got here. While her eyes were locked on the distanced toward she proclaimed,
Bon Mot: Sounds solid, captain. Just let us know if any creatures are headed our direction! Besides that, sit tight and enjoy the show.
The mare flashed a smile, directed toward Raven, as she continued to make her way toward the destination.

"Don't worry about it, pal." Illusion had said, patting Bon Mot on the shoulder as he walked with her. Regardless of her confident look, he felt the need to do so. "Even the best heroes can have trouble with directions. And we don't even have a map. I'm sure the actual fighting will go smoother."
"Speakin' of the creatures, though... Hey, Raven. ya know what they are? Would be reasonable to assume they're just basic mooks, buuuut..."

Bon Mot: . . . . I just wanted to explore. . . Yeah, explore! Any great Knight needs to explore so they have a better feel for the land. But you know, our University has a virus so I could see why Raven wants to hurry things along!
The gal stated with confident. She wasn't the best liar, but she could lie as along as it takes. When Illusion mention the combat, a concern that she had since the beginning came to the surface. Adding to what Illusion said the gal asked,
Bon Mot: And how do we fight? The game gave us a human body and armor. . . But I ain't seeing any weapons.

"That's what I was telling you three, you should figure that out before getting too close to them," Raven responds.

"Or, you know, we could go with good ol' hoofticuffs. Or... Fisticuffs. Is that the word? Okay, yeah, actually don't feel like hitting things with these fleshy things." Illusion had said, waving one of his hands about.
"Hm... I wonder, though..." He suddenly made a dramatic pose, hand raised to the sky. "Henshin!" He had yelled.

For a second, it appeared to have done nothing. However, he then had the bright idea to reach behind his back, pulling a sturdy metal staff out of what appeared to be thin air.
Looking over it for a brief second, he then placed it back onto his back, where it then proceeded to stick there as if super-glued.

"Video game logic..." The colt young man said with a sigh and a shake of the head as he took his staff out of it's duct-taped place, looking it over. "Still neat, though."

The gal had an unimpressed expersion as she watch Illusion. She thought there was no way this could possibl-
The unimpressed expersion soon turned into an impressed experssion; the logic of video game has proved her wrong yet again. A mute, "wow" escaped her mouth as she looked at the gent's new staff. She thought it was cool in all, but she wanted to know what her weapon of choice is. . .  She had no idea how to summon it. . . . This calls for some critical thinking. The gal closed her eyes in an attempt to clear her thoughts. She took a heroic stants and clinch her fist. Softly she said out loud,
Bon Mot: Okay, so Illusion did some dork stance to get his. . . I am at least 100 times cooler than him . . . So I have to do something cool . . . I am also a Knight. . . So something. . . Kinghty. . . But why am I a knight? Maybe because I am on our schools basket ball team? Our mascot is a knight. . . So if I am the mascot. . . That'll mean . . . Sugar Tears will take my spot on the team! No! There is no way that mare with four left hoofs could take my spot! She can barely dribble, make a free throw OR EVEN COVER SOMEONE AT THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS CAUSE SHE RATHER WATCH ME BURN THAN WIN STATE!
The talk of last years game caused her to be filled with so much rage. Rage that had to be realesed through physical force. With a frustrated yell, the gal raised her fists high in the air and then slammed them on the ground. At first, she expected to fill a pain like no other. . . But she didn't? What she did feel was a sudden addition of wait. Through her rage she looked down at her hands. With a suprised gasped, she started at two massive, metal gloves. Her right one was gold and the other one was silver. A large smile formed across her face as she lifted the fist high into the air. With a hardy laugh she proclaimed,
Bon Mot: HA! TAKE THAT SUGAR TEARS!

"Wait, that's what she did? I thought it was because you ran a bit too- I mean, go Bon Mot! Woohoo...!"
Illusion hastily and wisely cancelled out what he had been about to say, a nervous smile on his face. And, of course, he was quick to change the subject.

"So, Raven! How about special attacks? Would be nice to know if we have any, if you happen to know, yourself."

(( Anno, can you put a bit more detail in your post? Its hard to

The gal smiled big at Illusion; she didn't catch onto what he was about to say and was glad someone was impressed by her gloves. Her attention went back to her gloves. . . She could hardly believe she was actually wearing these. A few excited giggles slipped out as she said,
Bon Mot: Duuuude. . . I wan't to punch something. . . He He He.
Her attention fell onto the tower. . . Raven said there were creatures there. . . Creatures who needed. . . Punching. With a large grin, the gal started to run toward the tower. She was filled with confidence off herself and her punching abilities.

"Alrighty then... Time for a 'random' encounter..." Illusion had said to himself, staff firmly in his hands as he ran after his friend. Without much armor to weigh him down, he immediately caught up to Bon.
He didn't really question how he had managed to master the art of running on two legs so quickly, but he dismissed as more game logic.

Hopefully, fighting would be just as easy to learn.

Once the gang got closer to the tower, Bon Mot stopped running. She saw that a few. . . . Whatever Raven called them, were outside of the tower. It didn't look like they noticed the gang yet. The gal quietly said to the gents,
Bon Mot:
Okay, there are three of us and three of them. . . I'll take the middle one, Illusion takes the right one, and Match takes the left one. Sound good?

"They're just tiny spider robot thingies... This should be easy enough no matter how you slice it." Illusion had said with, giving an unnecessary twirl with his staff.
"In other words, yeah, that's fine. At least now we'll find out how the fighting works. Turn-based, or Real-time...?"

The gal stated as she gave Match a reassuring smile. She then locked eyes on her target. A large grin formed across her face as she could feel the power behind these gloves. With a few giggles, the gal was ready for combat.

[If you happened to be concerned... Don't worry, certain things seen here aren't something I intend on doing often, If at all, in the future.]

Illusion growled, uncharacteristically angry over his bad luck. "Yeah, that's real nice. I didn't even get to see the dice roll before I get hit."
Breaking the "turn order", he retaliated, risking another counterattack. "Dodge this, and I'll grind your sorry metal flank, along with the dice, into dust!" Now that he knew how his attack worked, he managed to "aim" it a little better as he dashed forward.

He assumed it was supposed to be a more precise attack in the first place...

A large frown formed across her face as her fist slammed into the ground. The gal was shocked that those creatures were so fast. Bon Mot turned and saw it was about to fire. She attempted to get out of the way, but her gloves were stuck in the ground. In a state of panic, the gal tugged and pull at them fiercely. A surprised scream came from her, as she dodged the lasers. She realized that she needed to take this more seriously and stopped messing around. With one determined pull, the gal freed her gloves from the ground. As she fist bumped the gloves together she declared,
Bon Mot:
A'ight, no more messing around. I ain't about to lose my first fight to a bug like you!

The gal burst through the insect. As she landed on the ground, a victorious laugh filled the air. A large smile soon grew on her face; she was happy that it actually work this time. Hearing what Raven just said made her smile fall to a frown. Looking over at Match, she noticed the insect was about to attack. With a large frown she shouted,

"I'm not a hero, I can't do this. I'm not a hero, I can't do this..." Match mutters quietly through clenched teeth. His posture has shifted to a crude stance for battle, but he doesn't seem to be making use of it any time soon.

(Are we going with the canonical combat being turn based (i.e. our characters are literally taking turns attacking and being attacked)? Just making certain due to my plan on Match acting when pressed to (AKA in response to the creature's attack as a sort of interrupt.))
