“Is this a team thing? I haven’t really worked on a team before.”

"I've only ever worked alone too till now." Henry said glumly as he added. "My profession isn't one for large groups of people and well, with me as I am? I had to rely more on sneaking and striking for hit and run tactics. I have no idea how that's going to measure up with, well..Teleporting or flight."

For my own counter, John Wick is the epitome of crazy-prepared. That and we've seen him take insane amounts of punishment,to the point of ridiculous. He's also able to pull off the same ninja shit that Daredevil is known for. As seen in the third movie against Zero.

Bullseye is tough, but John has the edge on cunning. Also, his third movie? That was John running on fumes, fresh off the bullshit thrown at him from the second film.

A business card was slid over to the center of the table, from a chair that most would have sworn had no one in it...Much less in the room.

As to the figure, he looked out of place briefly as he waved to everyone and they would see the following.

A native american looking supermodel, hair tied back in a ponytail as he smiled sheepishly. His outfit was a mix of red and blacks, that while intimidating at first on second glance looked made up from clothing ordered online. Around his neck, a black face mask was pulled down to reveal his features in full. 

"Hello everyone. I'm Henry! Er, alias 'Huntsman.' I'm a private investigator, got my license after coming to the big city. I don't have powers...Like, at all. Just skills and knowledge about the strange and unusual. Oh and umm...My spirit guide." He held his right arm up and pulled down his sleeve, showing a serpent tattoo coiled around his arm that looked briefly like it was moving.

"Basically I just call on my guide for aid and I summon a whip thathuntsandkillsmonsters." He said rapidly before clapping his hands and pulling his mask back up.

"I know I don't have the best reputation for credibility in the community, but well...I am skilled. Hope to know you all better!"

Corvo made a mental note to learn this 'moonwalk'.

Though why he felt an urge to wear a single glove as he did so escaped him and he strode inside.

After the looting of all the dead bodies, like a pack of vultures attacking roadkill, the team would hear banging coming from below the deck of the pirate's ship, loud thumping noises, whimpering.

It seemed something was below the first floor of the pirate ship, was it friend...or foe?

"Hey, I think I hear something thumping and whimpering coming from the second floor of the pirate ship, do you think it's friend, or foe?" Erine would ask, pointing at the ship after having recollected her apples.

"Let's find out." Corvo replied as he went to search.

He was a lot better now after that fight. Bad as his luck was, the experience gained allowed him a closer relationship with his partner...Which in turn, gave them entirely new tricks. He would spin and slash in forms with her in a longsword...Then shift mid-swing to a Quarterstaff.

Then a rapier.

Then a dagger. He paused and ended his spin and chuckled aloud.

"You're the only weapon for me Jess." Stashing the dagger in a sheath for it, he stretched and looked around for others to talk to.

Corvo missed entirely and consigned his dice to dice jail without bail. Before a court of their peers, he would judge them guilty and watch impassively as the verdict for the electric chair came up.

But there was no closure to found here. ;___;

Boy, just lots of misses everywhere, it seemed everyone was rusty all around.

Doesn't he know it.

Another whiff at the captain!

Corvo gave a nod of thanks to Komi, before launching himself as he flew at their wizard! His sword slashed down, necrotic damage inflicting further damage as he put himself in their midst.

Just now, OMFG said:

The pirate began to sob, he was used to physical pain, but why would anyone target his feelings?

He cried so much he slipped and twisted his wrist, which would cause some trouble the next time he were to attack.

Jessamine barely bit into the wood, which made him sigh.

At least he was now facing his foe and blocking the way as he spoke to him.

"I judge thee and find thee wanting."

His eyes glowed gold and he took a ready pose.

Corvo considered his options and then had a wicked idea.

And drawing Jessamine, he leaped out of his place in the crows nest and dive-bomb slashed away towards his target of choice!

The ramp the pirate was on.

Just now, OMFG said:

In the brief moment of peace before the storm, a pirate had the brightest idea of shooting a cannonball at The Angel Steve, perhaps thinking it best to catch the crew of guard.

Muggy, however saw through this!

BOOM

The explosion rang through the air, and the incoming projectile soared straight to The Angel Steve!

"Watch this frenn!" He exclaimed to Erine, springing into to action, he kept over the ship's guardrail, attempting to karate kick the oncoming cannonball out of midair.

Unfortunately for our dear Muggy, he underestimated the sheer velocity at which the cannonball was traveling, it easily ripped through his body, tearing it to shreds. His body did in fact change the trajectory of the cannonball, causing it to plunge straight into the water, out of harm's way.

Muggy had died, buried at sea, ripped to shreds from an oncoming cannonball.

"Muggy, why did you pull an Elbine?! You don't karate kick cannonballs!"

Corvo was going to need to visit Komi at some point.

His wounds had yet to heal entirely, though they were only bruises. His armor he had called back up, though in the end? Nothing but rest and care would fix them entirely. Up in the Crows next,he'd be relaxing...Thinking about that weird abduction before he blinked and looked outwards.

There was something on the water.

Coming their way. He let out a sharp whistle to alert the rest and pointed.

Yellow sparks flew from his fingers, a signal pre-arranged since the road. Yellow alert!

As the two members sparred, something devious was brewing above them.

From the heavens, a bright light pierced through the sky. A blinding ray pierced the otherwise tranquil day, and a voice boomed, loud enough to shake the ship on which they sailed.

"Mortals! I require the one you call 'Clara'!" With each spoken word, the ship vibrated, causing everyone on board to fall down, the ship running the risk of capsizing.

A rift appeared above them, figures that the mortal mind could not comprehend pouring out from it.

The enveloped Clara in a shining light, and in an instant she was gone. The rift closed, and the sky returned to it's natural state  .In her place sat a white haired drow, with an note on his chest.

It read:

"Had to borrow Clara for a bit, have this guy instead. - Drondos."

 

"..... WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!

Farley watched Corvo and Cliff spar. He would stand with the others on the outside the ring, reaching into his satchel and pulling out his lemongrass to chew on.

"Lucky they're on our side, ah guys?"

In the aftermath of those testing strikes, Corvo huffed out and looked at where he was hit, for hit he was.

The place where Cliff had struck him had cracked, metal that had coated his body falling off in bits and pieces as Corvo glanced up.

Despite not holding his blade, he still managed a good enough strike. A mark on Cliffs body showed where the bludgeoning had struck...And where the life-sapping curse had been as well. Corvo grinned and held his 'sword' in a brief salute before readying himself for the next exchange of blows.

Just now, Bergy_Berg said:

"Alright bud, excited to see it."

Cliff's eyes dilate to 3 times their normal size. Every muscle on his body seems to tense at once, the veins visible through his fur. His full strength on display as he enters his Rage, Cliff charges Corvo and aims a swing at his midsection.

 

Corvo was waiting and prepared,grasping his weapon in two hands as he moved in a ready blur to intercept the swing. Not to block-eight times out of ten, he suspected he'd lose that battle of strength. No, but rather to deflect it, swinging to seek to knock the blow off course as his eyes shone gold and his aria was chanted.

"I am a sandstorm. I am the wind that rends flesh."

His blows seemed more guided, his movements graceful where Cliff was power as he moved and swirled to deflect his blows before attacking back. His hands gripped his faux-sword in a position to strike overhead, eyes fixed on Cliff as he continued.

"I am the Sun, burning, all-seeing. Before it's Eye, let your limbs feel the desert sands."

Cliff would feel as if he was slower, Corvo's curse taking affect as the Tiefling swung overhead for Cliffs shoulder.

[Reaction Shield to increase my defense, bonus action Hex spell(target Dexterity) followed by an attack action. Bludgeoning+necrotic damage if hit.]

"Well, if you fly off it won't be much of a match." Cliff fastens his axe securely on his back. "Other than that, let's not kill each other." Cliff smiled and took his place opposite Corvo. "You want first move, or shall I lead?"

OOC: I assume Corvo offers Cliff one of the staffs, otherwise he'll use his shield as a punching weapon.

OOC: Yes he would.

Corvo chuckled and nodded once. "That goes without saying. It wouldn't be very sporting too." He cracked his neck and placed a hand behind his back, adopting a duelist stance as he held the altered staff to a point where he could stab or thrust.

"I'll let you take the first blow. I have a few defensive capabilities I would like to show."

Corvo then finished his work. Holding up a quarterstaff he had sawed and filed and wrapped to the length of his sword, he moved over to the space and turned to Cliff.

"Alright. Any rules you wish to go over or does anything go?"

Hey, now! 🤨Nostalgia won't let me think anything negative about a film that gave us a young, scantily clad Brigitte Nielsen, and frankly, I think you should feel the same way. 😛 

Ok, we talk a LITTLE about the movie. 

Just now, OMFG said:

I wish I knew how to read 😔

Me too.

Just now, OMFG said:

Erine jogs over to them, panting in exhaustion.

"S-so? Pretty good eh?"

She bends over, hands on knees to catch her breath.

"I've been practicing that one behind my dad's back! I can hit a bird mid flight with one of my apples!"

Corvo looked up from his work and gave a nod.

"Excellent aim. But we need to get you used to heavier projectiles. Cliff might know some exercises to build strength better than I and Komi should be able to aid in terms of the health aspects and how far you can be pushed."

Just now, Bergy_Berg said:

"That was pretty bad Erine. We're gonna have Muggy teach you how to stay hidden and not get killed.

Until then, focus on the not getting killed part for us."

"Perhaps increase her stamina too? That brief exercise winded her."

Just now, Confession FPT said:

Then Corvo suggested Muggy training Erine to hide like him. He tried, he really did, he tried to conceal his excitement, “I mean, sure, yeh, I can do that if it would help the team, yeh.”

"I'm sure you'll do wonderfully." The Tiefling said with a nod, looking back to the ring as he went off to the side and began to quietly prepare two sticks.

Good point. How do think RWBY would "appeal to his stomach"?

They feed him Zwei.

Just now, Bergy_Berg said:

"Corvo, we may want to train her to hide."

Corvo looked at Cliff and then back to their principal.

He stared at the mask she made, at how flashy she was before he spoke dryly.

"I'm not sure how suited she is for it. But that's a good idea too. Muggy could help with that then?"

Just now, michalecs said:

Komi was startled!  All of this change was so unexpected, her neko ears manifested, and she slowly backed away from the ring. "I'm a healer... I do have weapons training, everyone was required to at the temple, but do I really need to fight my own team to show you? Couldn't I... well... heal anyone who gets hurt in your mock fights, maybe?"

Corvo nodded.

"That's fine. We'll need you in case of accidents."

He stood off to the side and smiled briefly as he crossed his arms to watch.
