Patches

Here comes a janitor to save the day!

0 · 549 views · located in Ingenium

a character in “Fusion Fantasy Neo”, originally authored by Alexander von Koopa, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Theme – It’s A Smile World

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

Age: 25 (Appearance), 15 (Actual years since creation – robot)

Gender: Technically none (Robot); Looks Female

Race: Robot

Alignment: Neutral Good

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


Physical Description: Patches looks like a six-foot-tall human with brown hair, stitched together and given shabby clothes to make her look like a ragdoll. Beneath this, however, she is comprised of nanobots placed together to give her a silver metallic sheen.

Personality: Patches talks with a cockney accent and has a happy-go-lucky attitude, always seeing the best in people and not wanting anyone to fight anyone. She hates resorting to violence as a way to stop evil and would gladly stay behind and clean up the mess other heroes make.

History: Patches doesn’t like to talk about herself, but what we do know is that she was in the White Platoon’s base before even Dr. Y, the nominal founder, keeping it spick and span. The White Platoon appreciated her there even though she didn’t help them go out and battle evil, but eventually she gained the confidence to defend the base and act as their mission control. After the White Platoon’s last mission against Morbul she was revealed to be a robot, but has not said anything about why.

Equipment: Patches technically is equipment, being comprised of shapeshifting nanobots, but most of her equipment is of the cleaning variety – a broom, a mop, a pail of water, whatever she needs to keep some place tidy.

Abilities: Patches is not constrained by human limitations, and as such is incredibly hardy and durable. She’s also physically stronger than most humans, but limits herself to fighting with a broom to lessen this cheap advantage.

Other: Patches isn’t good with names and tends to nickname everyone she meets.

So begins...

Patches's Story

Lucas gets four confirmed signatures of temporal residue in relatively close proximity in Crystal Land. There are signs of illusory activity almost everywhere, but several are concentrated around Coronach, in the Shadow Forest, the Rarofiore Desert, and the Deumanus Mountains. The Deumanus Mountains reading also picks up hits on forbidden caves - the Cave of Vice, in particular. Every article or story found about the Cave of Vice basically says "evil, do not go in, you will die," with other details notably missing.

Meanwhile, at the same surveillance panel, a six-foot, humanoid rag doll does her best to keep the place clean while not disturbing Lucas and anyone else working there. This is Patches, former member of the White Platoon, and she's recently taken up another job here - strikingly similar to her old one.

Lucas did hear anything going on around Andy's phone, including Alex.

"...He's right, there's evidence of time travel at Crystal Land! As for any illusory activity, there's been some found around Shadow Forest, Rarofiore, and Deumanus Mountains. Speaking of the latter, the mountains host the Cave of Vice, which apparently is said to use the evil of those entering against them."

"Crystal Land, got it! What about all those places in Coronach?"

"One moment. Let's look at the other two scrolls..."

"{sigh} Okay, fine..."

"Hey, you wanted my help! Now then, on the second scroll's data...You said Alex has the first part figured, right? Well, let's look to the other two parts. The second part..." Lucas checks this part twice over. "Hm...I'd hate to say this, but I don't think this means Coronach."

"Oh - ! So what's the crown-rock mean, then? King of Rock?"

"{sweatdrop} Ehe...doubt it. There IS a prince, though, with skin like stone - Prince Ganymede of the Earth. This might have something to do with where he serves...or where he came from."

"Oh my... {to Kaia} Hey, I think that'll be your department?"

"{sigh} Alright, I'll look into that..."

"...So what about the third bit?"


"The third bit? Well...the first part of it includes unity, war, and treason...This could mean a turncoat, or more specifically a defector - someone of one side who chose to ally with the other side instead. As for death in battle, and the gate..."

Patches can't help but overhear the conversation, especially once Alex comes on.

"All that area, and just in Coronach? That's not exactly a small area to search..."

"Oi," said Patches, peeking her head in. "That you, guv?"

"Patches?" asked Alex. "Oh, thank God! Yes, it's me, and you're just the girl I wanted to talk to!"

"Not doing so good?" asked Patches.

"... You could say that," said Alex. "I've got to deal with a whole lot of problems if I'm reading these scrolls right, and the second one at least is talking about the White Platoon... like, personal stuff, I'm guessing."

"'Ow personal?"

"Well, I'm not sure myself what Ganymede's business is, but according to the first thing... Mars is back."

"Cor. Thought we killed him."

"Yeah, well so did I, but that's not what I was looking for you in particular for. Do you see that third scroll?"

Patches stares wide-eyed at the third scroll.

"... The 'ell is this?"

"I was hoping you could figure that out!"

"And 'ow exactly am I supposed to do that?"

"I dunno... like, it came in a scroll sealed with a swirly thing, so... maybe the worlds are swirled around?"

"You want me to unscramble this?"

"Yeah, I guess if that'll work."

"I dunno, guv," said Patches. "These things are real long, like. They'll take a bit."

"Well... I guess in the meantime we can head to places we know have a sword piece."

"...Thanks, Patches." Lucas really does appreciate Patches's effort in this. "Now then, the locations to search are Crystal Land, Shadow Forest, Rarofiore Desert, and Deumanus Mountains. Tell you what - I'll contact someone to help in the search around Coronach."

"Aw, thanks, soldier boy. You're a real life-saver, you know?"

"Don't mention it. I'll just hang back for a little longer to help Patches with the third scroll - and the third part of the second one - and then I'll head out to rendezvous."

"Gotcha! Okay, talk to ya later!"

"Yer welcome, soldier boy," remarked Patches.

Soon, Patches had out several sheets of scratch paper, working on writing down every possible permutation of the eclectic sentences in the third scroll.

"Now then..."

Lucas typed into the terminal, entering a contact code. After a while, someone on the other end picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Damian! Hey, I...hope I'm not interrupting anything. I've got a request for you."

"...Ah, nothing big, just a stroll through the mountains."

"The mountains? As in Deumanus?"

"Yes, why?"

"Nothin', just...coincidence. We need a search across the Coronach region for a couple of sword shards, including Deumanus."

"(?) Sword shards? Sounds like...too much effort for just two sword pieces."

"Yeah, thing is...they're shards of Alexander von Koopa's blade, and..."

"(!) You mean...?"

"He and a few others are certain of it. Someone's making an effort to try and infiltrate the chamber."

"So that disruption in the flow WAS...Alright, where exactly in the mountains do you want me to look?"

"Well, first, check for the Cave of Vice. After that, anywhere that has illusory activity."

"Got it. Anywhere else to look?"

"Right, on the illusory activity part...we'll need a sweep through Shadow Forest and Rarofiore Desert, too. If anyone else is available for those - "

"Don't worry, I know someone who can help with that."

"Alright, great!"

With the search underway, Lucas turned his attention back to the scrolls' messages - namely the ones on the second scroll, with the "equations".

"Hmmm...this seems to pertain more to certain people than places...The more I look at them, the more I feel these are all talking about...his enemies." Lucas then turned to Patches. "...Any luck on the third?"

Patches has drawn lines between the three different sentences.

"Not at first, soldier boy," said Patches. "Now I'm tryin' to see 'em seperate - less wrong possibilities that way, yeh?"

"I see," Lucas replied. "Say, just wondering - did the Platoon have any enemies that were...related in some way to Ganymede?"

"Related to 'is 'ighness?" asked Patches. "There was one chap. 'Is brother or summat like."

"His brother...?"

Lucas had an inkling of who she was referring to - Duncan - and typed it in so the computer can give any and all info available on him.

The computer gives a full biography of Duncan, from his birth to the time during his rule, up until his death. It's slightly embellished, but that's what happens when you let Ganymede be your primary source of information. Most importantly, though, is the note on his death - if he is indeed dead, and back to life (though the computer hasn't shown it), he would be a perfect match for the "equation".

"This...Yeah, he seems most likely...if he found some way back to this world," Lucas said. "We should be alert for any signs of him..."

Lucas then looked to the third equation - the one relating to war, unity, and treason. "...Any turncoats in the Platoon ever?"

"One," said Patches, a bit too quickly. "Vampire type. Not sure if he fits the 'unity' bit, though."

"Think I found summat fer the first one," said Patches, either not noticing or ignoring the skepticism. "It says 'To get the first piece of Entropy you first have to find an old friend who turned from order to purest chaos.' But that don't fit the vampire either, 'cause it implies 'e were orderly ta begin with."

It's then that the computer sounded an alert.

"(!) What now?!" Lucas said, opening up the window. It showed the Bell Tower, with the Metal Legion in vicinity. The window also had a close-up of the slowly-corrupting Tower Key. "The...The Bell Tower's under attack! And...what's with that crystal?!"
