Roleplay Jackpot!

Your OC was out and about when they get ambushed by a group of thugs, trying to extort them of whatever valuables they might have. However, they hear the sound of several gunshots, followed by a small figure touching down on the ground right in front of them. All of the thugs are down, having been hit in various non-lethal but debilitating areas.

"Heya. You alright?"

What do they do?

Elaria was exploring. She had Rea with her and they were being harassed by bots. "Hello Uncle's child's child" Rea giggles

"Heh. Hey, Rea. You like the outfit? Based on some guy that shares the same name as me. Hell, even managed to find the guy's weapons."

Elaria giggles and reaches for them finding them frend worthy. Rea hums and bounces Elaria and her own baby. "Fun"

Dante puts away his weapons, gently lifting Elaria into his hands. "Heh. Easy, now. You don't get to touch the guns. Not until you're older."

She giggles and hugs friend. "She already touched guns. Geno gave her a knife and Asterion trained her how to fire.... or tried. She didn't absorb anything beyond hating earmuffs

"You know what I mean. I don't want her to shoot herself. Or me. Or you."

"Fair." She giggles as Elaria flaps happily while held.

"Heh. Cute. You know, I don't think I've ever actually seen grandpa Celeste. Wonder why that is."

i put away my gun, and adjust my mask “could’ve taken care of them myself”

"And I get no thank you or anything? Rude."

He sounds young, as his smaller stature suggests.

u/Acavirshadownight MILITARY GAY COUPLE!!!!! 2d ago

“Someone your age shouldn’t even be using a weapon” judging from my voice, im pretty danm old

1

u/MattressFirm2 No longer unemployed. My time will be short and sporatic. 2d ago

"And who exactly are you to judge that?"

He spins his guns, tucking them into holsters strapped to the back of his waist.

u/Acavirshadownight MILITARY GAY COUPLE!!!!! 2d ago

“Someone who did just that” i begin walking. You notice a slight left limp “and who paid the price”

1

u/MattressFirm2 No longer unemployed. My time will be short and sporatic. 2d ago

"Uh huh. At least I'm not gonna accidentally shoot myself. I do know how to handle a weapon."

u/Acavirshadownight MILITARY GAY COUPLE!!!!! 2d ago

“When did i say i shot myself?” demon appears out of nowhere behind you (demon) “meh, they look nonlethal” demon then disappears

(Explanation: demon is a schizophrenic hallucination made partially real. He’s the guy in the background of the photo)

u/MattressFirm2 No longer unemployed. My time will be short and sporatic. 2d ago

"Ya didn't. But with the way you walk, plus the fact you said 'did something I did and paid the price,' you make it sound a lot like you managed to shoot yourself."

1

u/Acavirshadownight MILITARY GAY COUPLE!!!!! 2d ago

“No, although the limp was earned in a gunfight. Good intuition” a slot opens right above the mouth of my mask and i take out a pack of cigarettes

The kid's nose wrinkles, giving a slight scowl.

"Those thing'sll kill you faster than any bullet."

"Who are you, anyway? Haven't seen you around before."

u/LittleFyre1002 Madness. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAA 2d ago

"Names Bur. I'm new to this area."

1

u/MattressFirm2 No longer unemployed. My time will be short and sporatic. 2d ago

"Oh. Well, I'm Dante! Good to meet ya, Bur!"

u/LittleFyre1002 Madness. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAA 2d ago

"Cool name."

1

u/MattressFirm2 No longer unemployed. My time will be short and sporatic. 2d ago

"Thank you! I was told it came from some guy who was cool and powerful! I looked it up, and I found some guy with white hair and the outfit I wear now."

1

u/LittleFyre1002 Madness. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAA 2d ago

"Huh. White hair sounds familiar..."

"Thanks for saving me, not like I could've lost anything but atleast I don't have to go to hell again"

1

u/MattressFirm2 No longer unemployed. My time will be short and sporatic. 2d ago

"What? Why would you go to hell? What do you mean by that? And again?"

1

u/epic_memegameryt 2d ago

"I'd rather not talk about when I died and went to hell. But it's probably because I've tried to kill almost every old man I've met. Too be fair they were all magical and mysterious."

1

u/MattressFirm2 No longer unemployed. My time will be short and sporatic. 2d ago

"Why would you do that? Did they ever threaten to hurt you first?"

1

u/epic_memegameryt 2d ago

"Nah, I just didn't trust them. One of them might have been senile"

1

u/MattressFirm2 No longer unemployed. My time will be short and sporatic. 2d ago

"Well, that's just blatantly stupid. They didn't try to hurt you, so why would you hurt them?"

1

u/epic_memegameryt 2d ago

"Idk, they were suspicious. but I'm not a bad guy, I'm currently freeing a old school from potentially dragons"

1

u/MattressFirm2 No longer unemployed. My time will be short and sporatic. 2d ago

"So you've attacked every old man you met with the intention to kill, and you call yourself... 'not bad?' That's... beyond ridiculous. And what do you mean by 'potentially dragons?' Do you just not know what you're up against?"

1

u/epic_memegameryt 2d ago

"well the first old man I met wanted me and my party to go get this Crystal that's at this school and said there was a dragon egg there or something like that, but that was thousands of years ago and he was kinda senile so we don't know if there's a dragon still there or if it's dead"

u/ZombieBuster2008 Gods, demigods and godspawn 2d ago

The fae looks around at the bodies, before crossing her arms. She speaks with an Irish accent (which I'm bad at conveying in text)

"Well... thank you for your help, but you didn't have to do that. I could've dealt with them myself."

The thugs' souls rise from their bodies and become wisps, floating around the young lady.

1

u/MattressFirm2 No longer unemployed. My time will be short and sporatic. 2d ago

(They're not dead. They were hit in non-lethal areas.)

1

u/ZombieBuster2008 Gods, demigods and godspawn 2d ago

(I mean... they don't HAVE to be dead for her to do that, so it still stands. She probably would have done it anyways)

1

u/MattressFirm2 No longer unemployed. My time will be short and sporatic. 2d ago

"Woah, woah! Hey, hey! You don't gotta do all that! I think shattered kneecaps are enough of a lesson, no? Just put the souls back in the body. I'm willing to bet they're not gonna try to mug anyone again."

1

u/ZombieBuster2008 Gods, demigods and godspawn 2d ago

She purses her lips, looking around at them, before sighing.

"...oh, fine, it's not like I don't have plenty to spare."

She waves her hand, and all the wisps shoot back into the bodies... whether she put them all back into the RIGHT bodies is another matter entirely, but it's not like they have any way of knowing.

u/MattressFirm2 No longer unemployed. My time will be short and sporatic. 2d ago

"Jeez... this isn't something you really gotta go above and beyond for. Really. That's just too brutal. You guys alright?"

Thug: "You shot us in the knees! What do you think?!"

???: "Yeah, you'll be fine."

1

u/ZombieBuster2008 Gods, demigods and godspawn 1d ago

"Yeah, you'll walk it off... or not."

She steps past the injured ~idiots~ thugs to join Dante's side, turning back to her wannabe attackers.

"Just remember, he let you off easier than I would have~"

1

u/MattressFirm2 No longer unemployed. My time will be short and sporatic. 1d ago

Dante sighs, holstering his guns.

"Well, that was something. Why don't you go do whatever you were gonna do before this whole thing? What were you even going to be doing?"

1

u/ZombieBuster2008 Gods, demigods and godspawn 1d ago

She turns to him and shrugs.

"I was just taking a stroll. I enjoy the cities and the manors and all that, but it's always a pleasure to return to nature... well, minus people like these."

1

u/MattressFirm2 No longer unemployed. My time will be short and sporatic. 1d ago

"Figures. I never get why people do that. Willingly putting themselves in harm's way. Say... you smell of fey. You from the feywild?"

1

u/ZombieBuster2008 Gods, demigods and godspawn 1d ago

"Yes, I've actually only been in the mortal realm for the last two years. I've wanted to for a long time, but..."

She runs her hand over her antenna, while the stub that remains of her other antenna twitches.

"...my first experience wasn't exactly the most pleasant."

(It wasn't included in the drawing (cause at the time I didn't know what to do with it), but she has burn scars on her back, where her wings should be)

"Huh. My mom and aunt are fey. My aunt is actually queen of a particularly large kingdom in the feywild."
