[...It has not been a good few days for Adell. Horrible Malnosso experimentation and emotional instability. Not fun. Also, they've seen fit to deposit him unceremoniously in the village unconscious.

After getting some help at first... he'll be trudging around the village, heading back to his house briefly.... and then to the bar that night. He's off in a corner though, not drawing attention to himself. He can be caught anywhere around those places, by just about anyone...

But there's a catch.

He looks monstrous, to say the least. His skin has darkened, his hair has become more vibrant... his filial wings have turned black like the wings of a demon. And from beneath the mop of red hair jut out two pointed, obviously inhuman ears. And to the most observant, one can see his mouth now has fangs... and more pointed teeth. But most jarring of all are his eyes... the sclera have changed from white to pitch black, and his normally bright blue eyes have become a piercing red. Anyone who can sense supernatural power will sense Adell lighting up like a lighthouse beacon too.

He's clearly not himself. And his gait is slower, more deliberate too. Dare you approach?]

(OoC: ...Adell's mallynap effect, simply put, has him looking demonic. His very presence is probably troubling and unsettling in something of a primal way for most people. Additionally, his Mana power is running at full (the full 50% under the cap, anyway) at almost all times. This leads to heightened aggression on his part, so he's more easily provoked. Anyone who picks a fight with him will face his full strength. He won't kill, but don't expect him to be hurt by anything but the most powerful of attacks.)

( Introspection... )
Still. He had to take responsibility. Charle had friends out there that needed to know what happened. So he starts up a video feed later on in the day, when he's composed himself enough to talk.]

Everyone.... everyone who knew Charlotte. She... she's gone back home now. Back home to her own world. And...

[He's cut off then by a loud crash at his front door. He was in the living room at the time... and... he wasn't expecting certain robotic guests. When he sees the Malnosso droids... all sense of composure flies out the window and is replaced with rage. They're only here for one thing. And he knows it. The video feed's still going and he doesn't care. He leaps to his feet and awakens every last bit of his energy, an orange aura glowing with extreme intensity around him.]

So you pick now of all fucking times to pay me a visit, huh?! [His voice drops down low, to a dangerous, threatening, almost feral growl.] I'm gonna show you how we deal with uninvited guests in the Netherworld.

[And Adell flings himself into battle against the droids. It's a fight he's destined to lose. But he doesn't go down easily. And in his demonic, loss-fueled rage, he takes a couple of the droids with him, though the camera won't catch that much.

Anyone who drops by House 44 will find... most of the front of the building completely blown off and the yard and surrounding area a mess of smoking craters. Adell did not pull punches. The fact that there's even a building left on this property is nothing short of a miracle. Of course... Adell's long gone, taken by the droids for the first time.]

[The last day of fighting. It's been going on for so long now, and it's been a state of constant battle since it started for Adell. He's been fighting almost every waking hour so others didn't have to, stopping only to eat and sleep when he was running low on energy. By now, his body's getting pretty tired.

But things aren't over yet, and the worst has finally come for him.

Where the barracks formerly stood, there is a simulation in its place, displacing a very large part of the forest nearby as well. In its place, though, is a huge, opulent manor. Of course, this happened as Adell was passing by... and he instantly recognizes just what it is. And under his breath, he mutters a curse. What could this mean? Only bad things. And he knows it's something of an invitation. But he decides to answer it. So as he approaches the front door, the two massive portals swing open and one feminine figure emerges from the house.

A haughty laugh is the only greeting she gives to him before drawing her gun and taking aim...

...What follows are several gunshots, followed by an increasing cacophony of battle, including lots of loud explosions. The appearance of the manor house probably isn't terribly surprising, but to those who want to investigate... they're more than free to. At their own risk.]

[After a bit of a rainy weekend, the weather finally cleared up enough that it was a good time to go outside again. The summer heat had been broken somewhat by the rain, so it was a beautiful day out, and the sun had done wonders for drying up most of the water.

And it was on this day that Charlotte had brought home something that had caught her eye at the store. She had discovered a lawn-bowling set, and when it pinged her interest, she brought it home. It didn't take much time to convince Adell to at least try it with her, so during the afternoon, they're both out front of their house, giving it a go. She and Adell seem to be having a great time, even if it's something so simple. Both of them occasionally let out a laugh or cheer if the other does well. Obviously, this would be a good time to chat with them, right?

...And don't think visitors aren't welcome. There's even a handwritten sign in the lawn that Charlotte made, inviting people up to play and talk if they want to!]

(OoC: This is a dual post between Adell and Charle. Posting order in action will generally be you > Adell > Charlotte, though exceptions might be made.)

[Action]

( Loss... and introspective. )

[Voice, Public]

...I regret to inform everyone in Luceti there will be no concerts by Luka Megurine in the foreseeable future. Luka... has been sent home. I'm sorry to all those who knew her and enjoyed her music. [He hesitates for a moment, stumbling in his mind for words.] Wish her the best, everyone.

[Voice, Filtered to the BlazBlue cast except Noel Vermillion, 100%]

...I've waited too long on this. Anyone who knows anything about Mu. I need to talk to you.

[Voice, Filtered to Ragna the Bloodedge, 100%]

...But I need to talk to you the most, Ragna. I need to know what happened, how it all came about. ...And most importantly, how we can stop it from happening again. If it can. ...I'm sorry if this seems unfair to ask. I don't want to see Noel victimized by this if the Malnosso did it to her, but I do also have the responsibility to find out and tell the truth to people about what happened.

Much as I hate having to do it right now...

[...This had to be done. It was his responsibility as leader of the Blue Rogues and given the chaos that Mu had caused during her rampage with the high number of wounded, he had to say something to everyone. He's still injured, exhausted physically and mentally, and is still coming to grips with what had happened, wrestling with questions he can't know the answers to. He's running on automatic for now, so his voice will come off that way. The view in the portrait reflects a lot of this, and though most of the blood has been cleaned off of him by now, there may still be residual stains there for now...]

This is Adell, Captain of the Blue Rogues. The threat attacking Luceti has been... neutralized.

All able-bodied and capable Rogues are to assist in recovery and treatment of the wounded. Dr. McCoy and the others will have their hands full, do what you can to help, but don't get in the way either.

That is all.

[Responses can come from Voice, he'll be fielding whatever questions are given to him, but he looks worse for the wear.]

[Voice]

[An enthusiastic voice comes online over the journal system, clearly making an announcement for everyone to hear.]

So, Luceti, who out there enjoys music? I imagine pretty much everyone, right? Well, then I've got something for you guys! This weekend, it'll be your chance to see Luceti's most talented vocalist live in concert for the very first time!  That's right, Luka Megurine will be performing this Saturday at the Battle Dome for one night, and the show can not be missed! Admission?  Free, of course! So that means Old Feathers and New Feathers alike have no excuse not to get out and have some fun.

And New Feathers, don't miss the party being organized by Selphie and Rise!   We've agreed to share a venue, and this is a very special occasion, meant to welcome the New Feathers and celebrate the veteran Lucetians as well!  Further details will be given later this week!

So don't forget!  Be there!

[Action]

[Today, for most of the day, Adell is outside pouring himself into work on the concert itself. Well, specifically, he's building parts of the stage; parts that he can move in and put it together in the Battle Dome. It's a surprising amount of foresight on his part to be able to have it be easily moved and assembled like a piece of furniture.  It's still very time consuming to do, which is why he's getting it done now.   Well, that, and it's taking his mind off of a lot of other things he doesn't want to deal with right now. Friends leaving, girlfriend's memory being toyed with by the Malnosso, you know how it is.

Otherwise, he's out on the town hanging up homemade fliers announcing the concert, so if you missed his voice post, it's easy to see what's going on here!  He can be easily bothered any time during the day.]

[Voice]

...To anyone who knew Sylvia van Hossen, she's been sent back to her own world.

[He sounds more terse about delivering this than he normally would. Delivering several of these messages over the past few months like this has left him rather tired of doing it. Still, to anyone who knows him, he's probably more upset than he's letting on. Adell also really is not looking forward to delivering this news to Charlotte whenever she returns.]

[Action]

[At some point later in the day, Adell will be in the battle dome, doing two things. The first thing Adell does when he gets there is the first thing he always does on days like this. Find a simulator, get in there, and beat the crap out of whatever simulated bad guys he feels like fighting. People are more than welcome to watch or see if they can join in with him.

After he gets done working out a lot of pent-up frustration, he can be seen in the Battle Dome lobby with a measuring tape and notebook that's already filled with data as it is. What could he be up to, anyway?]

[Action - Sunset/Early Night]

[It's been a few days since the tournament, and his subsequent exhibition battle with Sylvia. All this time, all this fighting, and it was finally over. Well, for the moment at least. And following a bit of a sleepless night, he was finally ready. He's dressed normally, though he's wearing the green tie Charlotte gave him; her first gift to him ever. And after a family dinner, he suggested taking a walk together with her...

After the walk, Adell can be seen on patrol in the village, keeping an eye out for the strange beasts Daisy and the others reported in. And he seems to be in good spirit, despite keeping an eye out for beasts.]

[Action - Late Night]

( The predictable dreams... )

...And that's when he woke up. Confused, and admittedly shaken for once, Adell finds himself pushing out of bed to go sit outside on the front porch to look at the stars. It was just a dream, one that felt very real and tactile, but still just a dream. Things couldn't have... and didn't, happen that way. Either way, he needed a little time to sort it out in his head before going back to bed. Housemates, or anyone happening by, can catch him stargazing.]

[Voice]

So, perhaps a bit of a random question, but I've been wondering... what sorts of music do people enjoy? Genres, that kinda thing. Just kinda curious, I guess.

[Voice: Filtered 100% to Rydia]

Hey, Rydia, I have an idea I'd like to talk with you about, if you've got the time!

[Action]

[Well, today's his birthday, and he's hit 19. He's not making a big deal out of it himself, but people who remembered his birthday can find him at home or outside training for most of the day. People near the barracks will see him performing his familiar drills, enhanced this time with flaming punches and kicks. Now that the winter's really gone, he's getting fully back into his training regimen to get all the cobwebs out.

Obviously you should bother him today, on his special day.]

[Mom had been scarce the past few days, since the news of Sanae's departure. Unsurprisingly, she was upset. Very upset. Adell knew well enough to give her some space so she could calm down. The past few days had seen some improvement, though it seemed today she had been more reclusive than the past couple. So, like what he had been doing when Sanae had vanished, he was bringing Mom a pot of tea to her room. He knocked a couple of times, but there was no answer. After a moment, he opens the door. He utters her name in a question, curious if she's asleep. And he freezes. The room is empty. Barren, much like several of the rooms in the house had become a few days ago.

It's a wonder the pot of tea didn't drop right out of his hands. He is stunned to silence at first, frozen in place. Normally his demonic heritage would kick in and a deep-seated, powerful rage would radiate from his very core. But due to the experiment changing him into an archangel... there's nothing. No rage, only sadness. Eventually, he finds it in himself to set aside the pot of tea and straightens up. His eyes close and attempts to collect himself, and whispers something to himself.]

...Give me the serenity and strength to endure this.

[Housemates might see him here, standing silently like a statue.]

[Voice]

To anyone who was friends with, or knew my Mom... she has returned to Veldime.

[So yesterday was a bad day. He was hoping that he'd wake up this morning and find the house as crowded as it ever was. Sadly, it was not. Either way, he gets ready like usual, though he probably seems more distant than usual. He's not about to spend the day sulking. It's not gonna do any good. No, instead he's got stuff to do. He's gotta go help Noel and Ragna move their couch, and then he's got a message from Terra to answer, and then, he's gonna go to the Battle Dome and let a lot of pent up frustration out.

After he helps Ragna and Noel, he'll grab his journal. His voice is serious and businesslike, putting up a pretty tough front.]

[Voice]

To all those who expressed condolences about the... recent departures, thanks. I appreciate it.

[Voice, Filtered to Terra Branford 100%]

Yeah, I'd like you to come over, if you've got the time.

[After responding and visiting with Terra, he'll make his way to the Battle Dome and do some simulator work. Onlookers will see him taking on his usual array of tough foes that outnumber him. He's fighting pretty hard and it's remarkable. People are free to bother him between rounds and join him, if they'd like.

Later that night, after the chaos from this has subsided, he's back home. He'll be looking for Luka, but his other remaining housemates are free to get him too.]

[Another White Day in Luceti. Though Adell has come to think that Valentine's Day works better as a universal holiday, there's one thing that can be said about White Day: most likely, he'll be in his right mind and not messed with by experiments, leaving him free to do what he needs to do. This White Day won't be quite as busy in terms of numbers as the last one, thankfully. There's only two people really on his mind for this one.

So, throughout the early part of the day, morning and early afternoon, he's out doing some shopping, stopping in the general store and the flower shop, to get the various things he needs for his plan. He can be seen in the village any time during that phase. Clearly he's up to something.

After he's done running his errands there, he'll disappear for awhile, then return back home to House 44. Housemates can catch him there. He's looking for Luka at first, to give her a gift of homemade chocolate and a bouquet of freshly cut red and pink flowers, mostly as a gift to show his appreciation and care for her. If she tries to hide from him, he'll leave them in her room on her nightstand.

But his final leg of his plan involves Charlotte, and he's off to find her a little while before sunset.]

[Action]

[The date is the first of March. Adell is out in the field fighting as usual. But there's something very different about how he's acting. Normally, Adell's attacks are big on flair, and he moves through the battlefield with an odd sort of grace. Not today. Today his movements are highly deliberate. His attacks are calculated and brutal, displaying little in the way of mercy against the common soldiers. In fact, he looks as though he's being dismissive to them, disregarding them as threats but wiping out any who try in vain to get in his way.

What Adell is targeting, however, are Elites. He's systematically seeking them along the main offensive front. When he spots one, however, his body erupts with an extremely vibrant orange aura, energy crackling around him. And when he engages Elites, allies on the Offensive Front will probably see him tapping into levels of power that border on positively insane to obliterate his enemies.

...Clearly, this warrants investigation, right? But provoking him would be unwise. You've been warned.

By nightfall, Adell can be seen heading toward the Defensive Line to find Flandre. He's exhausted, and covered in the blood of his enemies. He can be intercepted then too, but his mood probably won't be any better.]

[Voice, Filtered 100% to Remilia Scarlet and Koakuma]

[By nightfall, Adell picks up his journal and filters a message. It's something he is strongly not looking forward to doing, but something he has to do. He'll first inform Remilia and Koa. They deserve to know... and then he'll tell the rest of the house. His voice is tired, exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally. And at this point, he's still covered in the blood of the Third Party members he killed.]

Remilia, Koa. I need to talk to you. It's important.

[Voice, Filtered 100% to the rest of House 44]

[This has to be done. Steeling himself for this, he opens the channel again, shortly after his conversations with Remilia and Koa.]

...I'm not sure if you all have already heard. ...But I have something to tell all of you. Today, out in the field.. [He swallows back a lump in his throat.] Patchouli was... badly wounded. S-she didn't make it. I'm... I'm sorry.

[Voice]

[So. Today's Valentine's Day. Naturally, Adell had plans for tonight, at least. Simple enough, take Charlotte out on a date and have a romantic evening. Something they could both enjoy. But for now, it's business as usual.   He's done training in the early afternoon and now is bored. He knew that Charlotte and Luka were supposed to go out shopping today, but... hm. So he picks up his journal and decides to give them a call.]

Hey Charle!  Luka!   You two done shopping? I'm done training for today, so if you want to, we can grab some lunch together.

[That should be okay, even if he's taking Charlotte out for dinner. This will be more casual. Or so he thinks.]

Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!  Hopefully everyone out there will have a good one. Anyone got any special or unusual plans?

[OOC: Chronologically, Charle and Luka come first. After that, have at.]

[Morning, House 44]

[This morning, things started out normally enough. Adell got up like he normally did, showered and got cleaned up, and went back to his room to change. His armor was gone, so going back to normal clothing was just fine with him. Well, midway through changing he felt something strange happen to him after reaching into his closet to get a tie. When he turned around, he felt a few inches shorter. Which was strange... but he paid it no mind at first. Until he got a look at himself in the mirror. It was her. And whatever happened turned his clothes into hers as well. And a voice that was not his own...]

What the hell is this?!

[Afternoon, Open]

[By afternoon, Adell... needed to get out. He had to get away. It was just too much, so he finds himself lingering at one of the bridges in town, looking to the flowing river beneath him. ...To an outside observer, though, this probably looks more like a beautiful woman looking pensive. Clearly, you should bother him. Because nothing bad will happen and he definitely still doesn't have all of his power.]

(Replies will be from

notquiteadell .)

[Voice]

Hey, citizens of Luceti. My name's Adell, and I'm Captain of the Blue Rogues.   Some of you out there might be unfamiliar with the group, so allow me to explain who we are and our purpose in this village.   We were founded by Captain Vyse, and we are an organization dedicated to the defense of the people of Luceti and exploring the unknown.

So, what does this have to do with anything?  Well, given it's been awhile since we have done so, the Blue Rogues are recruiting again. We're looking for people interested in protecting others, helping those in need, and standing against whatever threats may present themselves. You don't have to be a fighter to join up, as many skills are useful to us. Interested applicants with questions can talk to me here.

If you're interested in joining up, I'll be in the barracks today. Don't be a stranger.   I'll answer questions there as well, so if you're interested, swing on by.

[Action]

[Sure enough, Adell will be in the barracks for a good portion of the day, awaiting arrivals. He'll either be sitting at a table waiting while reading a book, or he'll be practicing against a nearby target dummy. Later in the evening, he can be found at Good Spirits relaxing.]

[It's that time of year again. You know the one. Christmas. On Christmas Eve, Adell will have gone around to a lot of homes or other places with gifts he got for people. They're all wrapped, actually rather well this year. But he'll make sure to instruct people not to open their gifts until the morning of the 25th. For people that live outside his house, he probably included a note with it too, just like last year.

If you're looking to thank him, he'll be at House 44 most of the day. Come and knock on their door. Though he will get to his journal eventually.

Be warned. Massive Text Wall Approaching.]

( Gifts! For So Many People! )

[By now, the filter of new people has ceased to be surprising, and Adell has decided not to let them get in his way of his usual activities. So he'll be out getting some shopping for the holidays done, in addition to his normal patrols and training.

Obviously this means he's open to all sorts of colorful characters to be attracted to this utter freak magnet. Have at him.]

[Well, the day Adell arrived back home from the draft, he ended up pretty wired, and didn't go to sleep right away when he got home. Suffice it to say, he's tired from the battle and given he didn't get a good night's rest when he first got back home, he's crashing on the couch in the living room in House 44 for a nap this afternoon. He's all but laying face down on the couch snoozing away. Housemates are free to come bother the sleeping guy.

Later in the day he'll pull out his journal and transmit something meant for his friends, but he won't bother to filter it.]

So. Uh, anyone up for hitting Good Spirits tonight?

[Regardless of answers, he'll be there at some point this evening, sitting at the bar and trying to enjoy himself for awhile.]
