He is killing any possessed bugs that get in his way with a pair of brass pistols that seem to fit in his claws perfectly. They're covered in gears, and a hiss of compressed air escaping accompanies every shot.
This world has treated them well, with all the dead and dying from the war. They possess more bugs, as well as soldiers on both sides... few outside the bunkers are safe.
However, it is not as many as it might have been, as they have been feasting off of the war.
This is it. The gate has failed. The Void's power has been broken. The demons rush forth. The population in The Citadel has been evacuated by Brill and The Glowing Church to various bunkers and safe areas as the demons methodically run through Pharloom, possessing any unsafe living they see. However, they are not rewarded with much. Many of the living were evacuated to The Citadel, and are safe.
However, from any places those evacuations did not take place, screams are heard as the demons take their hosts, forcing them to brutally tear through their friends and family, to kill everything in sight.
The demons are hungry.
They are desperate.
They will do whatever it takes to survive.
In the bunkers, demons can be heard throwing themselves against the walls created by the powerful runic seals. However, the seals hold strong, and the demons are unable to dent their defenses.
(I'll ping everyone who is going to get possessed in the comments.)
She has a message from The Void.
It is exerting too much power to keep the gate closed, and cannot keep this up for much longer.
You have two days.
Hi, its Sink here! As I have been Perma-Banned from reddit, PaOP the goat is helping me write this.
I am leaving the rp, simply because asking PaOP to be my vessel is too draining.
As for my OCs, all of them will have closures relating to PaOP's arc.
Some thanks I'd like to give:
Varas, thank you for the amazing art of Anaphora and the fun rp we did together!
Darth Trayus, thank you for being an amazing friend and helping me make Chiasmus a memorable enemy!
Mee3ep, thank you for helping me during my early days in the rp!
Glitcher, thank you for the fun times and making a relationship between our ocs!
And, finally, THANK ALL OF YOU! YOU ARE ALL LOVED, AMAZING, AND BLOODY FUCKING GOOD PEOPLE!
Signed with love,
Sink/Ethos, owner of Ethos, Logos, Pathos, Procrustes, Anaphora, Chiasmus, Simile, Kairos, Blue, and Yellow.
For anyone who is considering allying themselves with the Iron Gate, here's some loose criteria
Some sort of association with Void, whether it be powers or backstory.
Not being directly allied with The Void.
Being a tad evil.
Comment here if you want to be allied with the Iron Gate
Now, all that is left holding back the demons is the raw, unfocused power of the void.
You have 3 days.
As in 3 IRL days.
The sound rings through the caves of Pharloom, all the way to the surface, coming from the Abyss. The demons are eager to be free.
Only faint wisps of the power the Void concentrated into those seals remains now... they will soon fail.
In four days time, the gate will break.
A demon, after trying to possess a leafy bug in Far Fields, has been frozen within an unmoving vessel.
It sounds joyous, as demons jostle to get close to the gate from the other side... they can sense it. They will soon be free.
There are five days left.
Then? The gate breaks
And demons will flood over Pharloom
Be ready.
