Sonic RPG A - The Solarian Cipher
"That's no good, how'm I supposed to get James in now?" Lenny rolled his eyes. "Technically, you're not 'supposed' to anyway. As for how, I might know, but I'm not saying anything." Which, of course, meant Chan now knew. "Who put you in charge of what I'm supposed to do? Wait, don't answer that, I might have to listen." Lenny smirked, and looked about to say something when Chan clapped his hands to his ears. Lenny instead took the ring out, and tried it on to size it up. "Fits perfectly, means i'll go just right on you too. Planned, or coincidental, you think?" "I'll vote coincidence that this seems to be put together just for us, you can take planned. Five bucks work?" "Deal." Lenny nodded, and they shook on it. Easiest way to hand money over to Chan without anyone guessing, since Lenny was not actually expecting them to be a part of anyone's plans. They'd escaped scrutiny this long, to all appearances they were just normal twins that were sons of a mechanical worker. No one should be picking them out from anyone in the crowd that was this planet's populace.
22:00 Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Thus, Lenny had been in bed and "sleeping" for almost an hour now in preparation for the relatively big test tomorrow after a few hours of studying, while Chan had finished a hastily written report and was putting in more work on his latest barely legal mechanical device, a robot with the capabilities of differentiating colors. So far all he'd been able to get it to do was tell apart black cans from white, but then Dad switched sodas again, and Chan didn't have the funds to buy any of his own and find a way to dispose of them (something in pop was horribly corrosive to his artificial digestive system, so he and Lenny had to abstain), and had had to switch to red versus green, which required starting over differentiation when it was 90% done. If it did get complete, Chan planned to patent the technology and use it for more legal purposes, like determining the most rotten eggs to throw for him (based on the color of their insides). Not that he couldn't do that on his own, but a helping hand was always nice, since he couldn't get Lenny anywhere near the castle with him. In addition, he wanted to study that box more, specifically the ring. He had the idea it was familiar, but couldn't place it, which disturbed him. Hypothetically, he had a perfect memory, but there were occasional glitches in that regard, meaning he could occasionally have memory issues. So he worked on his robot while thinking on it. Maybe it was one of the part developers' logos...
"hmm... four matches going on at once. Its certainly innovating. Im used to battles being one on one, but this really takes the cake. four one on one battles going on at once... even a small influence in one battle could completely change the tide of another battle. Its risky, but im sure the audience will like it, which is important since it gives us more funds to help the outer areas... I think its a pretty good idea, as long as its well organized."
Babylon looked down at the package
"What's this package for again?"
12:40 - Coliseum South Gate A bulldog guarding the stairs laughed at Isaac and his friend. "A little lost, are we?" he asked. "Did you miss the giant line of people out by the East gate? I hope you brought sunscreen. I hear it's a four hour wait right now." A orange tabby emerged from the lower stairwell, shaking his head and asking, "Are we really up to four hours now? We really, really need to make this process more efficient." "I very much agree, director," the bulldog said, "but I can't say I don't mind the overtime pay on guard duty." "Of course you wouldn't..." Newton walked over to Isaac and said, "Sorry, but I can't do much for you right now. You're going to have to stand in line like everyone else. It would look really bad on me if I just let people cut ahead on the first tournament I've ever directed, so-" Newton stopped to scan Isaac's person. As his eyes moved about, his demeanor quickly changed. "Ah, uhm, that's interesting. Forget what I said. Lucas, go ahead and take them downstairs. Have Lauren audition them. It's times like these that make me wish I hadn't left those goggles of mine with my bike... Maybe I'll go retrieve them..." (Homeboy asked me to control all the NPCs in his audition, but you're more than welcome to write your entire audition/tryout escapades yourself if you'd like, Cloud ;) )
16:00 - Inside OPC 6B "Hmm. Now THAT'S interesting." "What's interesting? Did the assassin not show up?" "I'm... not sure. It's not Sonic, and we did throw proper postage on it to request a specific messenger, so either this is the assassin, the royal messengers screwed up horribly, or the assassins did something to make stealing the package easier." "Is he wearing the red ring?" "It's a black and white camera, James." "...right. Well, it's 4PM. Are you going to go get him?" "Eh, I'll give the assassin another 10 minutes. I have a feeling this is just about to get interesting." "But... didn't you say exactly 4PM?" "I can wait if it finds us a carrier." "Didn't you say we can't afford to screw this up? I thought you wanted to make sure they were reliable?" "I'm a good liar." "...You know, sometimes I hate you, Kyson." "The feeling is entirely mutual."
20:15 - Between the MBU and Prohevito's place "Hey, Provehito!" A jade green feline was running his direction. "Wait up!" It was Jasmine, the one who had set up and planned the trade show for the next evening. She caught up and handed Provehito a Small, blue, crystalline ring. "I wanted to make sure you've got this in case you don't come in tomorrow in favor of the tournament. The NMG isn't letting anyone into the show tomorrow unless they're wearing one, even Mech Builder members. Wouldn't want you getting stuck outside when you're supposed to be showing off our latest and greatest! We need to make our mark last after Miles tears up the competition in the morning."
Peter heard a footstep a little ways off so he turned his head to its direction. He saw a rather tall figure in a red rode. "Oi! so either you're the small girl that has come to see Sonic, or you're an assassin for here to kill Sonic. Either way you'll be disappointed to know that my boss doesn't find him expendable, yet I am. Listen, I'd like to get back to my girlfriend. We were kind of in the middle of something when I had to deliver this overpriced box."
He could tell that something about this guy was off about the guy, so Peter got ready for a fight. With his right elbow bent, he held the package out in his right hand. His left arm was about thirty degrees behind his arched back; left elbow bent and fist clenched. His knees were slightly bent as well, with his rihgt foot being in front of him and his left behind him. Peter could tell that his guy didn't have any kind of powers, but he knew that didn't mean he didn't have any kinds of skills. The green echidna figured he didn't stand a fighting chance against this guy if he did plan on taking him on, but Peter was more then willing to test his luck and use his speed if needed.
Eddie and Carlos made their way down the stairs and followed down the hallway where the cat had directed them to. When they came to a guard, they stopped, and Eddie said, "Uh, I'm here to see about a Riman... Something to do about a 'masquerade thing!'"
He hoped that his voice carried across for this bat to hear. He looked at Carlos who said, "Perhaps he is busy with something else."
"Let's hope not," Eddie replied.Â
I'll just put my characters to bed and wait til the next day.

22:00 (Uh....10:00PM?)
The twins decided to go to bed to get a fresh morning start for the P3. Both sleep with their rings on so the blue one didn't bother them. Their apartment is two bedrooms across from each other, one to have for their own and on the 2nd Floor. El-Len prepares for sleep standing at the door way looking back at Ge-Yin.
"Brother... About the tournament..." El-Len hestiant.
"Yes, you can go," Ge-Yin's words made her jump. "I've done some thinking and... *sigh* you're right." The grin on her face lit up her eyes. "On one condition... if anything's bound to happen you come to me, understand?"
El-Len nodded excitedly. "Yes. I promise. Good night, Brother." She hopped in bed and fell asleep smiling.
Flash!
She awaken outside the castle, a crowded of people stood at a distance away from her. El-Len found herself running at the commotion, pushing through crying and such mourning people. Miles was on his knees, tears flying out his eyes. Amy wailed loudly and there was Sally, over a lifeless blue hedgehog. El-Len knew it was Sonic and everything faded fast to white. A whisper. A voice softly whispering to her but she can't tell what it's saying. El-Len can feel herself dozing off and the eerie whisper was clear.
The kunoichi nearly fell off the bed. She calmed down and the time was 27:45 (3:45AM?) El-Len layed back in bed, confused.
"Sonic's in danger?" Remebering what the whispering voice told her and went to sleep.

Provehito accepted the ring and thanked the feline for it. He walked to his apartment and wore it. "Quite interesting, now I must be wearing this. Well, going to do something, it's almost 9 PM, but I have a while. "
The J.A.S.S. work brought some ideas for his whip. He brought his jacket out and some of his tools. He spent 15 minutes disarming some parts of it and tweaked them a bit for other 20 minutes. Five minutes to 22:00 and he had finished what he wanted. He would test it before he went to sleep. Wearing his jacket he took out his whip which extended out both of his arms, as usual. They were taken back and wrapped around his hands, making some sort of glove on them. On theory, he would finally be able to land a good punch without the fear of freaking his hands. The gaunlet-like objects were flexible enough, apparently. A short burst within the apartment and he punched the wall with his left hand. The wall got pushed back, leaving a depression on it, but also enough noise to be heard by the landlord.
"What's going on up there?" shouted the landlord.
"Nothing! I'm just cooking!" responded Provehito.
"Well, keep it quiet, some people actually sleep!"
"Roger that!"
Looking at the glove, he noticed it had actually been damaged from the impact. "Guess I must change the alloy here too. " It reassembled to the whip, but he noticed that joint was damaged. "Guess I'll have to rely on my right arm's side for now. " He went to bed and fell asleep to recover his energies.

Babylon apparently was already set for the tournament. He decided he would open the package when he got home. He continued in some thought about the layout.
there were going to be a total of 8 players on stage. when each of the maches were won, they could simply pair up the remaining 4 until 2 of them won, and then pair those 2 up for the final piece. or they could just create an unexpected battle royal with the remaining four and let destiny unfold... there were many posibilities.
for the time being, he decided to return home.

16:00ish - I'll let Peter and Danial work that one out
22:00 - Coliseum Top Floor "Did we get any Padrians to actually audition?" Newton asked of the squirrel organizing the prelims. "Or are they all just going to show up tomorrow at the prelims?" "You know how they are," the squirrel said with a smile. "The audition process is a little insulting to them. Stand on a platform. The spire measures no magic readings. They then are asked to spar and 'show off', at which point they just flash their rings and ask to leave. Paulo just told them they could have four entrants show up and we'd reserve space for them." "Fair enough. I had hoped to get an analysis run on one, but I'll live." (This allows El-Len to join the tournament without doing the proper audition thing :) )
I've given everything to Baylon for the day, and the others' posts are all going to bed. Hopefully everyone else should finish for the "day" soon enough so you're not waiting to long. Feel free to give me feedback, query me for plot bits or explanations, or write dream sequences in the meantime if you don't want to wait without something to do :)
It was time to hit the sack. Babylon had somewhere to be the next day, and he needed the rest. It took him longer that he thought to go through his day, but at least a few things were accomplished, plus he got the chance to actually walk just because he felt like, which was enjoyable.
Upon reaching the house Babylon found Neo sleeping on the couch. It seemed like he was working on his visualizer when he fell asleep since it was hanging from only one ear and Neo's signature screwdriver was on the ground next to the couch. He was a pretty heavy fox, despite being skinny, so Babylon found a sheet, and dropped it over him. He put the visualizer and the screwdriver on the table nearby.
afterwards he went off to bed.
Danial didn't want to kill this echidna. He did nothing wrong, but that package was needed. Danial put his left foot slightly in front of him, but his arms stayed by his side.
"Will you not give up that package of your own will?"
"Um....if it's that easy, fine."
Danial grabbed the pen and began signing all the required fields for the package. He was quite puzzled at how odd this messenger was, as this never happened to him before.
Danial realised what was going on when he turned to Peter when the pen started running low on ink. He noticed that it was all a clever ruse that reminded him of some ancient cartoon involving a rabbit.
"HEY! That was quite clever but you're an ass."
Danial began running after him, Sirvanna was still chasing after them after a nice facepalm at how stupid her master was being.
OOC: That was pretty funny. I loll'd.
Lenny slept fitfully. That's not the sort of thing that was supposed to happen, it wasn't in his programming, but he did anyway. There was something in the air tonight. Chan artificially snored.
Eddie and Carlos looked at each other before looking at the bat.
"Spar with you?" Eddie asked. "Will this have anything to do with the configurations you're running?"
"And would your rather us team up and take you on or do you want one of us to go first?" Carlos asked.
This was quite strange to the wolves for they didn't know what would really be in store for them. In Eddie's mind, he began to think what might the bat say. If they were to take Rylan on, then Eddie could go over with Carlos on what his friend's capabilities were and work on each other's strenghs. If it was going to be a one-on-one battle, then Eddie would use his speed abilities and free-form fighting techniques to overcome Rylan.
Using your opponent's strengths to your advantage was what Eddie would always do when it came to fights. It's risky having to study an opponent's every move, but it always paid off when given the patience.
Now the two waited for what Rylan had in store.Â
Their father woke up at about three AM due to a relatively obnoxious ruckus outside his window. He then went back to sleep with an increased level of ignoring of ruckuses. His wife slept through it.
:V Couldn't put Resident Evil Revelations down yesterday. Don't need to yell.
Peter began to pick up speed as he heard the man yelling at him for being an ass. Of course he could just give this guy the package, but Peter figured that it wasn't this guy's package.
Â
Ge-Yin peeked in El-Len's room to see if she's sleeping well. He went back to his own bed and sighed.
"It's tough having a hard-headed sister who can't stay out of trouble..."
Eddie's eyes widened after Rylan explained himself more. He looked over at Carlos who seemed to have liked the idea after all. Carlos smiled at Eddie and said, "You ready for a pounding?"
Eddie chuckled at the remark and said, "Really, Carlos? I highly doubt you'll even touch me once this fight is over."
They were both directed onto a platform where they spaced out evenly between themselves and the outer areas. Eddie looked over at Rylan and said, "We're ready when you are."Â
OOC: For the people whose characters are asleep, I didn't mean you have to post right now. I meant when characters are awake and action is going on that you should post daily to keep people unblocked. ;)sonicphcI was perfectly aware of what you said and meant, I just posted anyway for smart-aleckness' sake. ;)
Sirvanna was closing in on him from the rooftops. Sirvanna grabbed hold of a piece of board holding a light and swung herself into him for a pouncing chance.
OOC: I believe this will be where the dice comes in.
16:17 - The Unrenovated District [color=green](18/20)[/color] The board bent slightly under Sivranna's weight as she caught it, acting as a spring board as to help propel her forward. [color=green](17/20)[/color] Peter was only slightly caught off guard, however, as he was perceptive enough to hear the light clanking as Sirvanna propelled herself. He picked up the pace so as not to get tackled. She landed only a few inches behind him, but was able to grab a hold of his shoulder and pull herself over and in front of him, blocking his escape.
[color=yellow](10/20)[/color] Danial was still a good minute behind. The only reason Sirvanna had been able to keep up with Peter was routing him via rooftop shortcuts.
Weeee, Sonic Unleashed/Colors drifting.
-----------------------
Since Sirvanna was not moving, she was able to quickly track Peter's movement for an interception, running very close beside him.
Danial started climbing a wall to get some distance for being so far behind. Although it slowed him down since climbing gives no forward movement beyond going up, being on the rooftops outweighs his distance, as Sirvanna was able to keep up quicker this way.
During the his roll, Peter tried to make sure that the package wasn't damaged and once he hit the ground he made sure to land on his back. After the bright flash, he noticed the red hedgehog and that his hat was missing. Peter got up and decided to wait for his client to finish talking to his pursuers by looking for his hat. Once it was found, Peter quickly dusted it off, placed it back on his head and then he waited for a little longer, package in hand.
Tag so I can post this.
Peter blinked as he took the box back. He wasn't entirely sure what just went down, nor did he really care. He was happy that the day was over and he could go home. "Alright. If that's all, I'll be heading out," Peter said as he turned away from the group and started walking home.
Once home, Peter sent the box down on the chair near the door. Rana walked out of the kitchen and greeted him. "Hello, Peter, how was the job?"
"Oh you know, nothing special."
After Peter took his hat and shoes off Rana noticed the box was still with Peter. "I thought you were going to go deliver that. What happened?"
"Hm?" Peter replied as he jumped on to the couch, "they took what they needed out of it and left me a tip of sorts. We've got plans for tomorrow, you can read it over in one of those envelops."
Rana walked over to the box and picked up an envelop, but she also noticed the red ring inside. "And what's with the ring?"
"Don't know, they said I'll have to wear it so we can get in, but hey let us not worry about that now. It can wait."
That'll do it for Peter and Rana. Pretty much the rest of the day they chill, eat and then sleep.
Both Carlos and Eddie positioned themselves in battle stances. Carlos was the first to come at Eddie but stumbled as Eddie sidestepped around him. He felt his arm being grabbed as he was launched from the ground and was flipped before landing a big thud on his back. Carlos winced from the fall as he slowly got back up.
"Heh, saw that coming," Eddie chuckled as he brushed his jacket with ease.
 Before Carlos could say anything, Eddie was already behind his friend. Carlos twirled around for a punch but swung at nothing but air.
"Behind you!" Eddie shouted catching Carlos off-guard once again. With another swing from Carlos, Eddie vanished and kept appearing around Carlos. Before he knew it, Carlos found himself twirling about as he tried to catch up with Eddie's pace. Eddie, on the other hand, started to run in circles around Carlos while avoiding any hits from his friend.
Before long, Carlos was starting to get dizzy, and his swings were becoming less frequent. Eddie slowed down and found Carlos stumbling across the platform. With his finger, Eddie lightly shoved Carlos away which caused the wolf to fall on his back.
"Well, I guess that's that," Eddie said as he turned to Rylan.Â
Danial took the 2nd ring and threw it at Sirvanna, who caught it. "Looks like you are the one. I honestly don't feel like bringing the other assassins as I feel this we need to do together."
"My my, Danial." Sirvanna started. "Not even dinner and you give me a ring and want alone time together? I think we're going too fast."
"Cease your jokes, this needs our attention to ensure nothing evil comes out of it. It's not a wedding ring, it's an invitation. Why must you do this all the time instead of taking your job seriously?"
Sirvanna shook her head. "This is what happens when you try to pair a man and a woman together who get along far too well. You don't honestly expect me not to play with you considering we probably know more about each other than some of the elders do. It's in my nature to mess with you, just like when you act like an ass to me."
Danial chuckled a bit. "I'm allowed to be an ass. I'm a master, and you are my student. Now come, I say it's time for a rest after all this excitement."
Sirvanna nodded at Danial as the two prepared to head home. It was going to be a bit of a trek since they covered a lot of ground, but she enjoys long travels with her master. She still giggles at the fact they both live with each other as part of the master/trainee deal, even though Danial denies it's anything more than training. She'll get him one day.
Rylan blinked at Eddie, looked back at his monitor, and then back to Eddie again. The monitor was still blank aside from a pair of axes and two 0s. "Well, that makes a whole hell of a lot more sense," he muttered. "If by a lot more sense, I mean none whatsoever. I'm going to have to talk to Newton later about how in the world he knew you could do that when the machines aren't reading anything. Regardless, I'd say that'll be enough spectacle to keep the audience interested, and it looks like you've got some fighting skills to boot. I've got all the data I need to do your paperwork, so no need to worry about that. You'll want this, though-" He tossed Eddie a light blue bracelet with a number printed on it and a picture of Eddie's face. "You'll need to be wearing that when you show up tomorrow. Be here no later than 10, preferably earlier."
Eddie grabs the bracelet and looks at it. He then looks at Rylan and says, "I'll be here."
Carlos moans and tries to get up. Eddie walks over and picks him up to his feet. "You okay, man?"
"Heh, you owe me for this," Carlos said as he struggled to remain standing.
Eddie helped Carlos until he was certain that his friend was feeling better. He then turned to Rylan and asked, "So what do we do now?"Â
