Welcome to Pax's <del>first</del> second annual(?) quick RP, an experimental way of doing things that just might net you a fabulous prize&#33; But more on that later.

So, what is it exactly, you ask? Well, a quick RP is done a little bit differently that what you are used to. Posts are meant to be short and often. You will type out your actions, and the story teller, which happens to be me, will let you know how that works out, and lead you towards your next actions. Anyone can pop in and out at any time, but keep in mind, this will still be a race to the finish, and falling too far behind will cost you.

So, now I'm sure you are wondering, what is this awesome prize everyone is going for?

WELL...

3RD DAY AFTER INVERSION:
Tetsu-ko watched the Encampment from the clouds. As the sun set, the fires became brighter and easier to see... as did the monsters roaming the streets below. The air was filled with dark mist, hard to see, but enough to cast the world in a shadowy haze. Even Tetsu had figured the cause out, sub consciously wondering why no one had tried something so simple earlier. It made her wonder if every previous time was just playing. All those world ending, horrifying days really just games to her and this... this was meant to be a real blow.

"Okay. We're just about at the gate. Town is going to be hell to get inside but-"

The blue Dragon spun out, hit in the wing with an energy weapon. She dropped enough before regaining control of her muscles to send her passenger's stomach in a loop. She didn't personally know the guy. Some loner who built a casino made of ice? He was the only one who had offered to go with her.

"<small>Recalculating. Firing again in 13.2 Seconds.</small>" Senka stated, devoid of any emotion. Of course the wicked android girl was here, watching the gates. In only a few days, she had wormed her way into any bit of interconnected tech, shutting it all down and sending them scrambling. Senka was certainly a big gun, yet Tetsu was surprised she was alone-

"Oh. Mina. What awful teeth you have..." The blue Dragon ducked, the Nazgul Wyvern's tainted claws scratching her scales. "Yuck&#33; And bad breath too&#33;"

She did a cartwheel in air. This recon mission was going no where fast. Time to return to base.

---
You stand in a re-purposed room in the Corrupted Cave, looking over sheets of paper outlining... well... a real mess of a plan. You knew for certain only a few things - You were certainly not the stereotypical hero. All of those had been corrupted by the misty air when Lili returned, transforming into monsters, mischievers, and other low folk. Your kind of people... normally. But with their knowledge of Pax, it's weak-points and strengths, these tainted heroes were really doing a number on the place&#33; If you wanted someplace to live, you would have to band together with your fellow bad guys and... ugh... save the world.

You're probably going to want to meet with the other people here, and get an idea of what to do next. Tetsu-ko has just returned, as well, there is a bunch of scrap bits of intel scattered all over the table you can look at...

Tom heard the report of the weapon. Those goody too shoes were trying to worm their way back in - that just wouldn't do.

"Senka, report" he said into his comm.

--------------------------------------------

Ariel strode out of her lab at the Corrupted cave Looking as exhausted as a goddess could look. She was fortunate that she had been in her clearing when all this started. It was her idea to go to the corrupted cave after someone had stumbled into her clearing warning her of what had happened to the Encampment. Granted since the Insanity wars she hadn't been to popular here, she figured this place - this pocket dimension connected to all dimensions - would be safe. Given how the corruption had affected her before, she wasn't eager to repeat that.

He of course had her Rapier - the Sanity Blade - on her hip. She may be repremanded for it by the Pantheon - but no way she was going to leave that weapon in corrupted hands. Plus it felt good to have her old friend back at her side during this crisis.

"Tetsu, anything to report?"

The 'loner' that Tetsu had been carrying with her just so happened to be the man called Viktor, who'd built a casino very shortly before this-this whatever it was had happened. Oddly, whilst it hadn't affected him the other so called heroes in the town had decided to run him out since he wasn't. He really just wanted his building back and to get back to business, this was extremely inconvenient for the huldu.

After his stomach had almost dropped out on him and he'd nearly thrown up on the wy back, Viktor had just enough time to drain the former Dragon Knight Mina of enough energy to make her discontinue the chase. Well this had certainly gone oh so well.

Once they'd landed, Viktor wobbled away from both Ariel and the blue Dragon, put his hand on the cave wall and promptly vomited, causing the sandy coloured cloaks hood he was wearing to come down and cover over the mans head and slightly glowing white eyes.

"Not good. They got the air well covered" Viktor said, then spat what was left onto the floor. "So inconvenient"

Meanwhile Abi stood off to the side and away from the grpup with her arms folded and a rather bitter look in her dark eyes.

"... If not by air, how about ground instead?"

A single poppy flower poked out from the floor. It observed the chaos that unfolded in Pax by a rampant corruption sweep of former do-gooders. While the demented spirit did enjoy watching people suffer, this level of madness put the realm itself in jeopardy.

"The report is that we got our ass kicked. Senka has set up some kind of anti-air defenses. Didn't get close enough to figure out where Lili is staying." Tetsu replied, stepping on a red poppy. She quickly lift her foot. "God damn it. I keep doing that in this stupid cramped cave..."

The Dragon wandered over to the table, letting the flower speak. Hopefully no one else would ask who she stepped on, cause that would be awkward.

"Hey, maybe the flower is on to something. If it can tunnel us underground, we can move on with 'Operation: All our Eggs in One Basket&#33;'." Tetsu exclaimed, pointing to a dirty backpack by the entrance with a ring of duct tape around it. Someone had scribbled "No Ariels allowed", for obvious reasons.

"We hop in, shove the eggs down her throat... Something something... profit. At least they have no idea where we are."

---
<small>"I am calculating their current direction, speed - One moment, please wait... They are based in the Corrupted Cave."</small> Senka calculated easily, replying to Tom.

Ariel Looked at the maps, thinking. She didn't like the eggs, but something else bothered her about this plan.

"Shalim is still unaccounted for. She can't travel underground, but she can enforce a shield there. You can try, but I can't promise anything."

Ariel Looked around the room....there was something that was nagging her, something about this place, the Corrupted Cave, but the eggs were affecting her ability to think straight....

-----------------------------------------

Tom's great red eyes turned towards the direction of the Corrupted Cave. With a crack of bones popping into place, great black wings unfurled behind him. One, two, three beats and Tom was Airborn, flying towards the Corrupted Cave.

Ariel looked around the Cave, eventually glancing down at the planning table. A cracked Tablet sat there, with the screen on.

Someone had applied tape to the top of the screen and wrote "Don't turn the bloody wifi on&#33;" in Sharpie.

<small>(4)
New Message - Senka- "Turn on the wi-fi..."
New Message - Senka- "I've found a picture you will like..."
New Message - Senka- "It is of a cat."
New Message - Senka- "I am told humans like cat pictures."
</small>


A document was currently open:

<big><big>The Big Bad List of Corrupted Heroes&#33;</big></big>
● CP - Red. Lili's right hand Dragon. Hasn't been seen in a while...
● Senka - Nasty little piece of work Android. She's in everything with a connection&#33;
● Thorndancer - There's this HUGE plant thing overgrowing one of the neighborhoods. We think it might have swallowed Red...
● Mina - Ugly.
● Tom - Scary. Ed keeps telling me he's a moth man but that's a stupid name. SHUT UP ED&#33;
● ??? - There's a woman in the mirror... Don't listen... Don't listen... keep it covered... she can't see you if you keep it covered...
● Solveig - There's a huge nasty Kitsune burning through the forest. She's smart too, and comes up with really cruel insults...
● Blackfoot - Ed says this needs to go on here but... isn't Blackfoot always corrupted? Seems like a no brainer.
● Nym - I first thought she was lost, sobbing on the ground... You get close enough, and she looks at you with with those empty eyes and you realize she's laughing... and that the Skull can't possibly be hers...
● Mirri - I read a myth once about a woman that pride herself on beauty so much that she was cursed to turn everyone that looked at her to stone. It was a sad life... But this one seems to enjoy collecting her little tormented statues.

I'm updating this all the time. Check back soon&#33; - ♡

Treberi straightened out the simple manifestation crumpled under dragon foot. The spirit knew all too well how Shalim burnt away his poppy fields that time ago, though still they fact he slipped under her radar then... Meant it might still be possible even if the celestial reptile was assisting Lili now. "..."

Quietly, he fully sprouted into the familiar Trevenant appearance taken numerous times before. It be best to learn who in this group he had to work with after all.

Abi glanced over the Big Bad List of Corrupted Heroes and then facepalmed, who had written this rubbish? Half of it wasn't even descriptive, never mind helpful. If only she had her Agents around...

Meanwhile, Viktor made himself a seat out of ice and proceeded to collapse into it, taking down his cloaks hood and drinking what was likely a bottle of some sort of alcohol. "Under might be more fruitful"

"Okay Stump guy... You drag a team under ground. Try and get them as close to the Encampment as possible... urm." Tetsu flinched, still injured from her Senka attack. "I'll stay here and... hold the fort down."

"Someone take the backpack. Not Ariel."

"Uh...can I take the backpack?" A voice came from outside, as the familiar gust of wind came in, soon forming itself into a small girl in front of Tetsu...and she looked around, seeying all the familiar faces from the evil council. It has been so long ever since she was last seen there, but she was one of the original members of the evil council, the wind spirit Yara.

"Everything has gone crazy? Evil? Mad&#33; Insane&#33; I don't know the word, but it was like if all of DP's bad thoughts turned real and wanted to murder me&#33; So I'm here, the only normal place due to all his bad thoughts being true when it comes to this cave&#33; The place that was never changed due to his thoughts or whatever else that caused all that crap&#33; So what can we do to get rid of all that crazy things?"

Abi blinked at Yara. She literally couldn't believe what she was hearing. "That out there... has nothing to do with Ariel, I can tell you that much. And if you touch the bag, you'll lose all your powers too. But I'm sure you could help some other way" The mortalised C walked over to said bag and picked it up-then dropped it. "But what if they have ground defences? Wouldn't a scout be better first?"

Ariel flinched at the slight from Yara, but didn't acknowledge it in any way. Something troubled her....something about the infinite Caves they were now in. If she had her immortal mind she might be able to remember it fully....

Then it hit her.

"Guys, we might have a plan B. The Corrupted Caves are infinite, near as the OG Evil Council could tell. We had a theory that you could get literally anywhere if you could navigate them. Maybe there is an entrance to the caves that leads directly to the Encampment. However, the tricky part will be navigating the caves....and avoiding what dwells down there."
