The Dead Set

Marionette-like people, or.. Perhaps people-like Marionettes.

0 · 1,727 views · located in Wing City Gardens (South)

a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by Rooster

Description

People made out of other things, false things. People go missing, then come back different, blank stares replace their once lively gazes, and their flesh, once warm and blushed, becomes pale and cold like porcelain. Though this is easily enough ignored.. Or hidden. Many prominent government and Military officials show signs of The set, if only a little bit.

The Rich, The Poor, The Law-Abiding, The Criminal.

All are welcome to complete the set.


Scarlet 'Bloody Dame' Jalleppa- The Crimson Clad Singer of The Tin-Pan McCoy, a party boat on Ol' Muddy. Scarlet is a Sultry jack of both trades, being a Soprano and Alto, as well as a charmer and.. A frequent user of 1920's Slang. Went missing April 5th 1925, reappeared October 16th, better than ever, but paler than ever, and cold.

Monty 'Big Six' Skelton- A zoot suited, pencil mustached, sharp sideburned, fedora wearing smuggler with a fancy for the M1911's. Thin, tall, but well known for being a dead-eye with his .45's, his name is 'Big Six' because of his strong-arming tactics in his bootlegging operations. You needed something smuggled anywhere you'd ask Skelton. Went missing June 17th 1925, reappeared November 29th, pale and cold.

Ilsa 'Le Loup' Krueger- The German, blonde haired, blue eyed 'Aryan' woman with a voluptuous frame wrapped in a trench coat of strong smelling black leather, leather gloves, a long black skirt, black boots and a black silk scarf. Nicknamed 'Le Loup' for various ramblings of countless mad, institutionalized French soldiers that had escaped her on the field during WW2, never ceasing to scream 'Le loup, le loup! Le femme de diable nous hante!'. Her canines are slightly sharper than normal women, and on full moons her eyes shift from blue to yellow. Went missing May 6th 1945, reappeared May 8th 1945, pale and cold.

Jack 'Jill' Nocta- What all crossdressers aspire to be, 'Jill' was born a feminine boy and he grew into a feminine man..-woman...thing, With a woman's delicate features on his face and narrow shoulders, with the right clothing he'd look like a flat-chested girl. But despite his fantasies Jill wears circular-apertured eye glasses, a white dress shirt tucked into his pants, a black waist-coat, a black leather belt with a golden buckle, black dress-pants, black socks and black leather dress shoes. Occasionally white gloves will cover his hands. Nocta's hair is black, wavy and long, reaching his shoulders before ending. His eyes are dark blue.

When he was growing, his adoptive parents believed that a feminine boy of his kind would face many "Sinful Temptations" and packed him up at Age 15, sending him to a Templar Monastery overlooking the Solinus Sea. Though raised by his parents and the Templars as a devout man of god, Jack was a logical boy and doubted the almighty's existence.. But after the events that transpired in the monastery it was hard no to believe in the darker beasts from the Templar's tales. Jack was practically a maid for the Monks and Templars, instructed to clean all unlocked chambers in the main building (Jack wondered why the almighty wouldn't just clean his 'own manuscripts'). The boy did as instructed, cleaning all the chambers, until one. The door was slightly cracked open and a feeling of dread came over him by even standing near it.. But if he didn't clean them all the Templars would beat him for his insolence..so.. He dared to enter. Inside only a few dark smudges remained, with the smell of burnt robes lingering. Before Jack could retreat he had stepped one foot inside of a sealing circle and quickly shielding his eye with his left arm and drawing back with the right half of his body, was half possessed. Jack's left arm, eye and leg are under demonic control, which, with quick acting from the merciful High-Chanter, were sealed with similar tattoo symbols than those on the ground within the chamber. One on his forearm, one on his shin and one under his left eye. Under huge amounts of stress, pain or under the effect of unholy magic, the binds are broken and the demonic ichor within him triggers a blood-lust and allows for the manipulation of unholy auras, vice versa, the seals placed by the Templars calms Jill and allows him to use Holy chants to dispel darkness.

After this event Jack was kept behind bars for years, under observation from Priests and Templars to evaluate the seal's dispelling power.

Jack Never went missing and.. He was always a rather cold and pale child.

So begins...

The Dead Set 's Jill kneeled, sniffling as tears ran down the feminine curves of his face. "Oh maker.. You'll be fine, I promise. I can help you." He leaned her against a brick building, gently, eyes darting around the alley. "I need some chains.."

The Dead Set 's Jill bit his bottom lip, tears drying as he stood slowly and yanked the chains from the bin. He started wrapping the material around his left arm, grunting as he interlocked the links between his fingers and wrists, a large portion of them between his elbow. He feeds it around his back and grips it tightly with his right hand. "This is going to hurt.. A lot.. For me."

He bowed his head and pointed his hand at Rosenna, fingers spread as much as they could in the chain. "You're going to have to help.. As soon as the prayer takes effect you need to grab this chain and knock me to the ground.. onto my arm."

He closes his eyes and sniffles, chanting below his breath before starting a similar prayer to when he first met Rosenna. "Oh, Maker, the creator of our splendor on Blessed Terra..." The symbol on his arm started to glow, shining through his clothes. "I invoke your name in the hour of my need, as your child has been plagued by the darkness that seeks to overthrow your golden throne and take this holy land. Lend your hand to my aid, my Lord and restore her.." The glimmer faded and the prayer would dust over Rosenna, time seeming to recede on the wound as the round passed out of her shoulder and it healed.

He gasped and panted, stumbling forward as he gripped the chain tightly, his left hand twitching, fingers spreading as the small, feminine man started to scream in pain. His eyes were clenched shut and suddenly his fingers elongated, changing their tinge from pale white to crimson and sharpening. An eldritch glow like hot iron came about the limb as large black claws sprang from the finger-tips. "Aa-Aaaggh!! Now, Please!"

The Dead Set 's Jill dove back on his own will, pinning the chained arm to the reinforced wall of Gambit's bar behind his back. He let out a scream of pain and slumped forward, still managing to force himself back on the demonic arm as it twitched. "Aagh!!"

The Dead Set 's Jill cringed as the arm tried to dislocate itself, slumping and then forcing himself down upon the arm, he sobbed silently. "Take the chain.. Chain it to the dumpster.." He pointed with his good arm, biting his lower lip until the red from his body leaked out.

The Dead Set 's Jill's arm dislocated itself and snapped around his back, reeling it's longer, demonic and glowing form. "Back up.. Back up!" He yelled, cringing as the demonic arm reeled out at Rosenna, forcing him to his feet with it's immense power. He almost reaches her with the molten weapon, but the industrial sized dumpster stopped him short. Jill falls to the ground, wincing, arm still lashing out.

The Dead Set 's Jill clenched his eyes shut as he lashed out at her again, the molten fingers and claws digging into the ground like it was hot butter. It cleaves up, through the reinforced Gambit's wall as well, focused on Rosenna and not the chain. ".. Run! Get away, Please. It's only a matter of time before it gets free and tries to kill you. You have to get away."

The Dead Set 's Jill's Demonic arm dug at the ground, quickly creating huge gash marks. It looked as if the materials of the alley's floor had just ceased existing in that spot they had been destroyed so thoroughly. He sobbed when she left, not caring who saw him now. The arm continued to lash out for what seemed like hours, but only about twenty minutes passed in reality. As the arm reared up and struck against the chain connecting it to the dumpster Jill prayed she had gotten far away.

The Dead Set 's Jill ripped free and the arm led him, stumbling in the direction of the girl. It could smell her essence, her body's natural force. Though by the time Jill would be within a mile of The Gardens Rosenna would reach the arm would start to revert, shrinking back to it's original form, claws shrinking back to nail..but remaining a little sharper than the right-hand. Jill would collapse as he reached the Garden's entrance, groaning as he buried his face in the fresh, damp grass as the misters far above watered the plants inside and dampened his back. It was..Nice.. Not many people came here.. Ever.. But he could her footsteps in the damp grass. "Ugh..."

The Dead Set 's Jill showed her the sharp nails. "It looks like I got a nail-treatment on only one hand.." He laughed and shivered, sitting up more, weakly. He started to blush as he realized how close she was holding him, face pressed to her stomach as she supported him. "I think I'll be..ok.."

The Dead Set 's Jill ran his gloved fingers through her hair, groaning silently. His other, still warm hand rubbed her back and he scooped her up, standing with her in his arms. He makes his way to the guest relaxation area, where a few couches were, soft jazz played softly through antique speakers. He sat gently, keeping an embrace around her, as she layed in his lap. "We can rest here tonight.. no one comes here anymore.."

The Dead Set 's Jill clung to her instinctively. He didn't want her to leave either. His thin but strong arms wrapped around her and he leaned down slightly, his feminine chin rested gently upon her head. "I'm glad.." And he drifted off as well.
