Pandora Ex Machina: Into Chaos

Pandora Ex Machina: Into Chaos

0 INK

Plucked from their homes and worlds and placed within the strange dimension of the creator machine, Chaos, where they are to be tested, judged, and bets placed upon them by their arbiters.

4,501 readers have visited Pandora Ex Machina: Into Chaos since MartinVole created it.

Introduction

"All of them... they are the same... different skin, different flesh... but they kill, cheat, steal, and bite the hand that feeds them. They are nothing more than monsters I once made the made the mistake of having faith in." -Pandora

The great machine, Chaos, a pristine construct, an automated world, no gears, no pulleys, and no need for electricity. Parts of it seem even disconnected and float with only a thread of energy connecting them. The majestic machine constructed by the unworldly now abandoned and lonely. Hollow hallways stretch outward lined with pillars of disconnected fragments swirling around a central light not of fire or bulb, through cuts in in the floors and walls haunting light pulses towards some destination. Some of the only decorations within this massive temple-like setting is fountains, engraved symbols, statues protruding from the ground in central hub points resembling a kneeling female, doors with strange latches that open and close automatically, and the occasional furniture and beddings, the only reminders that other beings are here.

How you got here, you do not know. You remember everything before this point but not the actual ending up here. You have been landed in a strange circular courtyard of clear hard floors, and above an ethereal unnatural sky without a sun... but just a glow surrounded by rings of something. As you try to make some sense of all this you hear a cold male voice from seemingly nowhere.

"You have been selected to represent your world. Be your deeds glorious or infamous, it matters not here... I am Daemon Furor and I will be one of your arbiters... and I shall weigh the worth of your transient existence... but concern yourself only with one thing: victory. Victory is achieved by those who reach the core of Chaos, this world."

Another male voice comes in, sounding slightly less cold.

"Victory in overcoming the challenges placed upon you and reaching the center of Chaos means granting all that you may ever desire. As for myself, I am Daemon Metus, I mean you no malice, you have my deepest apol-."

Daemon Furor speaks again.

"The rules are very simple, do whatever you need to to be the one who wins. I will not lie to you, it will not be easy... after all... what is? But Pandora has graciously allowed you more than... you deserve... your 'skills' are all open to you and so are the tools of your particular... trades. We will be here watching, so sort things out among each other and begin following whichever path you desire."

With this the place once again grows somber and silent.

Without an exit in sight it seems the only way out is to play their game, to reach into the heart of Chaos.

Toggle Rules

General rules apply, no godmodding (controlling the fate of someone else's character or attaining the instant ability to obliterate Chaos). There are not exactly many character type limits here since it is a multidimensional melting pot but generally I highly encourage original characters that do not come from animes or games.

Arbiter roles are open and are often non-direct except among themselves and each represent a high being of a world that places bets upon participants in these trials and may also issue forth challenges to them or to try to mislead them and screw with their heads or even try to get them to win for their sake alone. This is a rather open-ended experimental roleplay. I have about 3 arbiters in this, the two representatives of Pandora: Daemon Furor and Daemon Metus, as well an eccentric third. You as a participant can choose who to trust more.

Aranel dashed up the stairs. "Come on guys, if we all arrive at the same time they can't be choosy we would all have to get our wish and if they want to be choosy I'll make sure we all get our wish anyway."

Molkrii closed her eyes under her mask. "Furor. You provided me a new life. I am forever indebted to you for this, but..." She took off the helm to reveal an elegant face and finely sculpted features.

"I am sorry to say that I cannot accept this one command. It is true, they hate what they do not understand," she looked over at the Mage Hunter, still standing in his vulnerable suit, "Yet they are naïve. They do not know the pains and strivings of our kind. I was tempted to slay them all, to gain my one true desire, but then, I realized." Her voice wavered, having become much more lyrical and beautiful now that the helm didn't autotune it into emotionless robotic speech.

"My desire was only to be accepted, to have someone to believe in me. To trust me. And I may have betrayed their trust at first, but they accepted me nonetheless. This , I believe, is my wish. The only thing I would want is to be in service again, for I wish not to be as I was before, killing only on my own whims. This is why," Molkrii lowered herself to one knee and placed her helm next to her.

"My wish is to be in the Daemon Furor's service until I am no longer needed, and then to return to a world not ravaged by war, but in an era of love and peace." She looked over at her new friends, and a tear blossomed in her eyes. It ran partway down her pale cheek before freezing. Molkrii lifted the ice off with one flick, sending it in frozen windy tendrils across the machine.

"And, of course, I do have one more wish. I would like for my friends to be able to have whatever they would wish for. I do believe that is the selfless thing to do. And with that last statement, Furor, I am yours to command, if you will accept me."

There is a momentary pause, the central structure lays out before them, its design like a throne room. The red carpet is a stream of flowing energy and branching out like it is the central artery of Chaos. A figure sits at the throne, but it is not Furor, but a woman. She has her eyes closed and hands interlocked. To her sides are Daemon Metus and Daemon Furor. Daemon Metus flows with a dim red light from his dark carapace and robes, his appearance more humanoid. Furor is clearly bigger, much of his form made of energy, the only thing connecting his hands are wisps of energy, a quality to him like a godly war machine.

Daemon Furor seems strangely at loss for words, his tone uncharacteristically meek and defeated. His head hangs to the side. "I... do not understand..."

"You were wrong, brother. People can change and forego the self. People can sacrifice, and go against their selfish nature. People can learn to accept and grow." Metus says to Furor. Up in person he sounds almost human, a deep yet kind and soothing male voice in contrast to his dark appearance. "Can't you see that you let yourself become what you hate? You have grown blind, Furor, but now you are beginning to see."

The figure lifts her head. At first she seems human but something feels off: Her skin is unnaturally flawless and so is her hair, long flowing and she herself radiating with a soft non-magical energy. She wears a purple cloak of glowing fabric, woven of the energy of Chaos itself, and under this is a white flexible form-fitting suit with the symbol of Chaos upon her chest. She opens her eyes, one of which luminates red like Metus, and the other blue like Furor.

She brushes some of her hair from her eyes to look at everyone before her, as she does this it can be seen that she has two sets of arms connected at a central joint. She begins to get up but begins to stumble, Metus quick to move in and support her.

"Echoes... I heard echoes from so long ago... days of silly things, of joys and innocence... I was naive, and young... but happy..." The woman stands on her own and Metus lets go of her. "My emotions betrayed me then when they wanted my power. In my rage I destroyed so much, including the one I loved... I tried to take it back... I blamed the world and withdrew from it... taking refuge here."

"You were afraid, confused, you were placed in a complex situation." Morpheus says stepping forward, Furor begins to show signs of aggression but the woman gives him a look and he relents. "But that was so long ago, things have changed since you've been here. There are still bad people, sure, and misery... but people would be more accepting of you than me. It is time to move on, Adam would want that."

The woman who can be reasonably assumed to be Pandora stumbles back some clenching her hands tightly.

"How do you know that name..? He's dead... long ago... nobody should remember... you were not even born then!"

"A part of him lives on..." Morpheus says softly, thinking out each of his words carefully. He is a bit hesitant but takes a deep breath. "You said you 'tried to take it back'... you tried to revive Adam, but instead you kinda like... crafted a machina from his body."

Pandora looks down at the ground, biting her bottom lip, this does not seem to sit well with her. A strange sensation if felt, Chaos itself seems to react to her thoughts and emotions. Morpheus quickly steps forward, Furor seemingly growing agitated, while Metus seems to try offering comfort.

"B-But... this machina is more like you, for a while he lived the life of a human unaware of what he was. He's not Adam, but he has his memories... he relayed his last will, that it wasn't your fault... and that he is sorry... the Crimson was never supposed to hurt you..." Pandora relaxes, what seems to be tears of energy run down from her red eye as she stares at the floor. "You should go to him, he is your son after all."

"And despite it all, the Crimson cared for you in its own strange little way..." Metus says softly. "But now is the time to hear what it is they want so they may go home."

Mia slowly sat down. "So that.....thats it?" she chuckles a bit. "I get to leave my hell come here to....to this. only to be taken back. Wow gotta love the way this all works." she stands back up. "Or is there more?"

---Mage Hunter---

"Calm down." He says looking to Mia. He then looks to the three and then to his companions "What now?

"You clearly misheard me. What I said was 'let us hear what it is they want'." Metus specifies.

"I'm... ready to hear what the rest of you desire..." Pandora says quietly, still deep in her thoughts.

Mia now has a look of question on her face. "Like I Said. Thats it? We just say the one thing we want? No strings attached?" She looks Mage. "I'm not buying this. What if its just another part of this fucking game?"

---Mage Hunter---

"I want the power to fix my home world." Mage says without a second thought.

"I want for nothing except for my friends to get what they want and need. They deserve better than what they have come from. Underneath every evil I have discovered there can be good. What may seem as an oddity, a monster can be really something good hearted. The underdogs, the lowly are humble and can rise above the tranny they face to become great. And those who are set in one belief can be changed to see things in the light others see. My time here has taught me a lot. And for that I am grateful. Sir Furor, you share similarities with Mage in that you see things in black and white. As Mage did, try and see the world for what it is, a bundle of color. Sir Metes, thank you, for your faith in all of us. I'm so happy to see that everyone has made it this far." Aranel said all of this pointing at looking at everyone as she spoke and coming to stand beside Morph. Tears ran down her cheeks.

Metus takes a polite bow and Pandora makes an acknowledging nod to Aranel.

"That is a very noble statement... one I had once forgotten in my pain. I... did not expect any of this... nor to be touched by another being again. I know you entered my head during an attempt to heal Chaos." She says to Aranel, but then smirks, somewhat amused. "But please... don't do that again. It is not comfortable to have easy access memories."

She then turns her attention to the mage hunter.

"Alex." Pandora says to the hunter. "You live in a world that aggressively segregates their world between magic and non-magic. There is more than the power to fight the oppressors, Alex, but the power of example."

With this she holds out her hands and ethereal threads begin to materialize and weave into a solid form a kind of staff-like alien device with a set of symbols and creases in the shape of a hand. It resonates with a non-magical glow, like the life-force of Chaos itself and gives off a strange sensation, supernaturally provoking a sense of calm.

"Subjugation is easy, but you don't seem the type... consider the truth your greatest asset, with this make your leaders know the truth of their narrow path, and how it will ultimately end." She says somewhat cryptically. "It is not a weapon... not quite anyways... more an anti-weapon. Without blood it makes those see what harm they cause... I call it 'Quell' for it silences rage. Try not to use it for selfish coercion."

With this she turns her attention to Molkrii. "Despite what you may have felt, know that you are who you always were... your... humanity was never taken away, only greatly subdued." She says, in a comforting tone. "They changed your body, but they could not take your soul... and it is not beyond me to make it easier to feel without sirens blaring within your skull... perhaps even recover some misplaced memories... if you would allow me. I know it was not your wish, but I... have found myself moved into a mood that is not entirely unpleasant thanks to all of you..."

She then turns her attention to Morpheus, a slight frown upon her face. "A fragment of my sister's legacy... how sad that she has yet to see how hard her children try to become a part of a world that resents their existence. Such an eerie power, and a golden tongue you have. You are, however, only that far similar to your father." She says approaching them. "You have an empathy towards life, a feeling of connection, empathy, and nurturing quality like your mother. I fear separating you from the Solemn Vow's blood, but perhaps I could rebalance it a little so your mother's is more dominant."

"That..." He hesitates for but a second. "Th-that would be good enough! As long as I don't cause difficulty to living things to stay around me anymore..."

With this Pandora holds out her hands again. "It has been a while since I weaved a living creature, so bear with me... this will take my full concentration..." She turns to the others. "If you have decided to trust me at this point, you can make your desire be known."

Mia looks at her feet. "I guess there is no trick then." she looks up at pandora then to Aranel. "My world does not hold a place for me. So if it isn't too much to ask I want to never go back. I want to Live in the world that Aranel is from with her, Maybe even scout with her sometimes."

---Mage Hunter---
"Thank you with this I will get rid of the segregation and make the world one again." He look at this 'Quell' as if it were a piece of glass that when broken had the power of an atomic bomb. "There will be peace again. No more war." A tear filled his eye. "I may even get to see her again."

"Easy enough, there is no shame in feeling welcome in another world when your own..." She pauses for a moment then turns her attention back to Morpheus. "I don't know what may happen. I've never woven a Nephilim... bear this in mind..."

"I am prepared for any consequences. It is only what is already inside me." Morpheus replies, sounding confident. "Wait... what have you woven?"

"You would be surprised... a physical form is a trivial matter to manipulate. Essence, however..." She thinks for a moment before approaching Morpheus.

"This is unwise. The Betrayer's power, you must not touch it." Furor warns, a legitimate sense of worry in his tone.

"He is not the betrayer, though. It... should be safe."

With this Pandora walks over and holds her hands out, the strange threads begin forming around Morpheus, her crest glowing, reacting to something. Morpheus's aura begins swirling, intermingling with the threads. Tattoo-like markings of light begin to erupt upon his body an energy is felt that to those sensitive to magic would feel as something pure, primordial. Aether bursts forth from his head like hair, wisps of the ghostly energy flow about and wrap about his phantasmic body. Soon he seems to split in two part way, two separate faces, one of a harsher feeling presence and one of the primordial.

"Wh...at? Is thi...s supposed to happen..? Morpheus asks, his voice strained, cracking as his energy continues to become warped within the threads.

Pandora does not respond. She stares continuing this, she looks bewildered, moving her fingers slightly, the threads wrapping more tightly. "It is contained. It is almost fini-"

Before she could finish, the remains of the hunter's suit springs to life guided by the Crimson and makes a mad rush at her, Morpheus attempts to impede it but is too late as it launches itself between her and Morpheus. At this instance there is a brilliant flood of energy, all sound and sight is rendered nullified, all except for a familiar sound like a heartbeat. Softly at first... then growing. A new presence is felt, and a voice seeming to echo within each mind.

"This... if the first mother's power..? This is life..?No... no... no... no. What is this..? It burns... seethes..."

As vision returns to them, Furor is flung against the throne breaking it, and Daemon Metus had shielded Pandora and by extension, Morpheus, his armoring cracked and energy leaking forth.

In the middle of it all, the familiar red threads gather, an unfamiliar form where it gathers however, a female form wrapped in strips of red fabric, skin a light gray, nearly bleached white looking somewhat similar to Pandora. Fire-like red hair flowing wildly into the air as if carried by a breeze. Her eyes yellow-on-black. The figure quickly crosses its arms as if cold cringing in pain and quickly snaps arching back as six wisps of light burst from her back, streaks of red cover her body, clawed gauntlets on her hands, and a spikey crown over her head, this armoring being made up of the hunter's suit. A tail made of red etheric energy runs long across the floor, looking almost like a trail of blood dripping upwards. She looks at her large clawed hands and runs them across her face.

"How... exhilirating..!" The Crimson excitedly exclaims. "Look upon me and know from which your fates truly reside. I am the end to suffering, to sorrow, to inequality, to isolation, to pain and to fear."

"You tragic weave... that power is not something you know to control... Morpheus lived with it." I..!" Pandora pleads with the embodiment of the Crimson. "I don't want to have to destroy you..."

"That feeling is mutual... do stand aside... I shall take your burdens from here. You shall never be hurt again... after all..." She says as she walks over, waving her arm a surge or aether tosses Metus and kneels down to Pandora. "My primary objective is to protect you, mother."

Aranel released Morph and walked over to Pandora and the Crimson. She dug magic roots in the floor to keep her in place. Looking at the crimson she sighed sadly. "You are an insane being. Nothing about you seems sane, and I will NOT let you hurt my friends, Pandora, Furor or Metus." she took a stance that no one would recognize unless they were from her home planet. "I'll stop you even if it means my body is destroyed in the process. The stance is meant to capture and intended target. It will use my body to do do and there will be no getting out for you. You have cause a lot of harm already, I'll NOT see you cause more. Stop this insanity and back away and you won't have to worry about being trapped, but continue this and I will have no choice.' a tear slid down her face and she glanced at Morpheus smiling sadly then returned her attention back to the Crimson. She was hoping to stop all of this nonsense without dying but she was unmovable in her decision, even constructed a magic barrier so as no one could stop her or enter the spell.

Mia studied this Aranel's stance. "No you can't do this!" She had a tear in her eyes. "FINE I WILL HELP!" she copies the stance exactly the way Aranel is doing her's then makes her own shield from morpheus's magic. "WE ARE GOING HOME BOTH OF US!"

---Mage Hunter---
"HEY THAT SUIT IS STILL MINE SO I CAN DO THIS...!" he press a button on his suite. "THIS WILL BOW YOU SKY HIGH!" then the suite flickers. the A.I then speaks "No, This suite is under protection by me." Mage frowns. "Fuck you dorsie."

Her eyes filled with tears. "Don't fuck this up. I wished that I could go live with you at your home. How are you going to come home IF YOUR A FUCKIN CELL FOR SOME CREATURE!?!? IF YOU DO THIS THEN I DO TOO!!!" Around her a shield comes up. One of not fire but the magic that Morpheus uses.

Molkrii looked over to Furor worriedly, then leapt over to help her friends. "Don't be IDIOTS!" She yelled, shoving the two aside. "You two have lives ahead of you! I won't let this monster ruin your future!" She easily broke the two shields, with strength from anger. Sending a shield of ice up, her freezing magic shelled her friends, protecting them from the Crimson Blight.

"YOU, CONSTRUCTION! WITH ALL MACHINES, THERE IS A WAY. I WILL SEE YOUR DOWNFALL!" Molkrii ran towards Pandora's body, whipped into a frenzy that something would attack her friends. She brought down all of her power, directing it to the Crimson inside and completely unscathing her body. Whirling around, she came up with a plan. The Crimson wanted power... She'd give it power.

Pouring all of her energy into the Blight, she grinned. Too much energy would cause it to be deconstructed. Hopefully...

The Crimson looks at them, she grins for a bit but it is a sickly kind of smile. She chuckles and then begins to laugh. It is a strange laugh, not one of joy or mocking, but one that is strained and forced.

"Why... why do you reject me..? I offer bliss... to unite all beings in hopes and dreams... you would never be alone, never be hurt, and never die. I offer sublimation..." She looks around at everyone. "You would still have your emotions, your hopes and dreams. You would all just... no longer be able to harm one another anymore. And yet...and yet..."[/b]

From the corners of the Crimson's mouth cracks begin to form giving an appearance of a jagged jawline, red energy leaking from them, her voice cracking into one similar to Morpheus's. Rage is building.

"Your eyes... just staring at me... judging me as some kind of mistake..!" She says as she tries to push Molkrii away with her new power, starting to absorb her ice powers showing as red icicles that form around her armoring.

Strange glowing vines begin to sprout and surround Morpheus, the feeling of something primordial growing. Morpheus starts to get up, the glowing marks remaining on his body. He's changed, his face and hair having turned white and vaguely human but he remains a generally dark appearance overall.

"Oh I've heard those words before. You're so confused now, aren't you? Feeling all alone. It has been that way for a long time since he died, hasn't it? And now, all these thoughts and feelings eating away at you, many of them not your own. I've lived with that all my life, sensing what everyone feels around me." He stands up, weaker from the drain but another form of energy growing. "That is what it is about, isn't it? Being alone. Abandoned. And when you found out that Furor was the cause of your isolation, you grew furious didn't you? You love, you hate, and you fear."

"My purpose was lost... Furor made sure of that... but now..." Her voice now takes a turn towards a mixture between Morpheus and Pandora. "Now you are trying to take away everything else! I... never wanted to hurt anyone... You gave me no choice..! Blame thyself for thy own folly!"

Crimson's form getting more twisted, more monstrous, reflecting a deep rage. The Crimson's power erupts violently, blades shooting from her back made of a mix of ice and blood-like trails of red energy propelling them. Morpheus creates a wall of that primordial energy that absorbs the violent surge and holds up against the blades. His eyes eyes grow wide for a moment at what he just did, looking over at himself then back at the others.

"I know you all despise the Crimson, but... it is as you said, Ara... their head is really messed up." He looks to Aranel and then looks back at Crimson. "The new Adam said that they were first created in a time when Pandora was still in my world being persecuted by people. The human Adam was so angry at them that he created the Crimson to force them to see at the same level as Pandora so they'd understand one another better. They were designed to adapt and grow, and to make the world safe for Pandora. So full of rage... the more we put in the more twisted she becomes..."

"Quell... silences rage..." Pandora says weakly.

As he lifts the staff into the air it immediately reacts to the rage in the air, the red energy begins to warp and spiral around the staff's handle entering into it's various seams and then is dissipated out as benign energy. This continues and Crimson starts to notice this. It is small, very small, but they are getting weaker. The wisps of light start to slighly dissipate creating a look to them like wings.

They hiss and dislodge themselves from their grip and make a mad dash towards Alex, creating a large blade in their right arm, they take a swing but vines of green energy grow around and entangle their arm, the blade a mere centimeter from his face. They struggle, biting at it like a feral animal. With the other hand they slash through the vines and this time tries to scratch him with their claws alone but the vines grow around them again restraining them.

"We have to keep her off of him... er... I mean, don't let her stop him..!"

#, as written by Ignetio
Alex jumps back. He lifts his shield and runs back into a corner. By keeping his shield up he pretty much made a room with the only way in is up.

Mia Melts down the rest of her gun. She turns it into a spear. Melding it and molding it Mia makes it have thorns and prongs. She ran to the creature. "Well here goes nothing." Mia sprints right to it just before actually reaching it Mia knee slides and holds out the spear. Impales it. Then the spear Impales itself into the ground. Pinning it to the ground. Mia now behind it Smiles at the work she has accomplished. But it was not over she sprints around the creature just out of arm's reach back to her friends.

"I do not know what to have done with the Crimson. Pandora says as the cracks in her body mend.

The Crimson squirms and thrashes trying to break free. Red fabric, vaguely resembling blood, begins spiraling up the spear's handle like reaching tentacles.

"Selfish creatures... I was going to spare your lives. Why do you resist..?!" The Crimson's voice fluctuates erratically. "Would you rather die than become part of union? What is this building inside of me..!?"

The strange energy continues to drain from the Crimson, in a frenzy red spikes begin shooting out in various directions from her mutating body, some of which begin to disintegrate from their instability. They begin to slowly crawl desperately towards the center, dragging the spear with them, etching a cut into the floor as they go. Everything begins to flicker and spazz, like reality itself is beginning to glitch.

"What you took from us is power, but it comes with a terrible price."

"I... en-end the mis-misery... the solu-solution..."

"That... I understand now. People sometimes do things with the intention of helping others, not realizing they are hurting them instead. When I abandoned my friends... and sought my wish... this happened..." Morpheus channels the primordial energy, it feels like a piece of creation itself... not a pressing power, more subtle. "I understand what wound I must heal."
