ROLEPLAY HQ - injustice-for-all

It was another dark and tiring night for Rosalina, Snake and their man asked for aid to capture a lawyer this time. She made sure Snake's "candy" transfer will be forgotten forever in cameras and on the dead body of lawyer. Poor guy, wanted to do what is right, stop the drug deals and stop the economic crisis due to drugs in this city. Rosalina understood and deeply appreciated his goals. They were noble for sure... but also naive. Rosalina flew in the sky while thinking. The moonlight shined on her hourglass shaped body and to her long blonde hair. Half of her face was covered by her hair, but her yellow eye, her plump lips, her white skin and her frowning could be seen from her other side of face. This city, this country, this world. It had something she hated. She wanted to crumble all into dust and end her discomfort here. But nothing is ever this easy is it? She had her plans, her ways to reach the endgoal. This world wasn't fair or kind. It was full of injustice, that's exactly what her mafia group was gonna be named after "Injustice For All".

She went to Snake, diving from the sky into the building. "You owe me one Snake, I expect you to pay your bids with your blood when I ask." Snake spoke "Well done, Rosalyn? Your name is so weird, anyways we haven't agreed on my blood but for money. Your payment awaits outside and leave my blood alone will ya?" Everyone around him and himself started to laugh. Rosalina didn't change her pose and left to pick her money. The money was half of what they agreed. She rushed in back threw the case at Snake's table. All guns were aimed at her. Her eyes started to turn to white from yellow. "We agreed, Snake! This is barely half of what we agreed on!" 5 men aimed automatic rifles on her, she looked around in the room to use at her advantage if a fight occurs. As her eyes search Snake took the word. "50/50 Rosalina. Payment is made 50/50 because I want you to see us as allies not only coworkers." He lighted a cuban and took a deep breath from it. "None of us know where you came from. We've yet to find any information about you. You're like an alien bitch!" People around him to laughed. "You were like an alien for us, so nobody trusted you. You were a weirdo who came outta nowhere like a vigiliante. You have interests I know. But I think on some I agree with you. But again I still dont trust you." He made a hand signal for his man to bring 2 cases and open them.

"One of the cases have all the money we've agreed on. You can pick it and you'll be a worker for us but nothing more." He took another deep breath from his cuban, "If you pick the other one, I will consider you as an ally. Not just a worker any more." She knew what she had to do! Dont pick either them and imply they must be equals! But sadly she desperatly needed that money. She didn't have any spot for showing off at the moment. She picked the money and flew back to her small house. She opened her window to get in as usual. But once she get in she got in to room she saw someone she didnt expect. A sidekick/hero she remembers very well...

Adran was sitting on a roof. It was a normal night, he and the hero he was a sidekick for had another dispute, the usual where he was blamed for screwing it up and not making them look cool. That’s all the hero wanted was to look cool in front of all the civilians. Then he saw her. He knew who she was, her name was Rosetta or something like that. She was beautiful, but they were on opposite sides. He didn’t know her that well, but they had fought before. He was surprised to see her flying with a bag of money in her hand. He decided to investigate. He threw a pulse blade to the window she was heading towards, and teleported into the room, jumping off the roof of the building before doing so. She seemed surprised. “Rough night?” Adran asked.

Rosalina bent her head sideways looking at him. How did he find her here? Did they know where she was living all along? How much heroes knew about her really? She tried to keep herself anonymous so far but yeah... flying in open and stealth doesn't go very well does it? "Not as rough as to end in my enemy's house." She was pissed how her private was known by others. She must leave this place after he is out of here. She left the suitcase and asked "What are you doing here Adran? It's pretty late to be somewhere uninvited."

“Its also rough to be carrying a bag of money around like that,” he said, pointing to the bag of money in her hand. “You want to know how I know where you live? I have many contacts as well. Heck I know who lives where in this city,” he said, reading her mind. “I also know that you took a bag of money instead of choosing to be allies with your “boss” today,” he said. “Funny, I thought you would be more selfless,” he said, “What’s up with that?” he said, trying to get an explanation.

Rosalina rubbed her eyes with her one hand tired, said "Why the fuck do you care? Just get out and dont ever come again! Breaking my own personal space and Im supposed to be the villain here right?" She chuckled ironically, realised he isnt going anywhere she took a seat. "Im not a villain. I dont enjoy drug deals, I dont enjoy killing people, I dont enjoy working for those shit brains. But do you know what I dont enjoy more than those?" She moved her hand and showed Adran with her finger. "You! You all are slaves to a fucking system that doesnt even work! Your whole system is barely standing like a truck on a thin ice and that ice is cracking, water is flooding as we speak! You, them, everything in this world is so wrong, so injustified. I dont know if I want to fix those..." She created a small spark of fire in her finger. "...or burn all down to ashes. Who knows, maybe things will turn better next time?"

He wasn’t afraid of her, despite the small fire she created. “You think I work for them?” He laughs. “No, not after what my jerk for a boss said to me. I saved a whole lot of people, and you wanna know what he said?” He began to get angrier. “‘you are the worst sidekick. I wanted it to look cool and you ruined it.’ That is not what I stand up for. I will not sit and wait while people die just so those so called heroes can look cool. So I ran and went to where I knew you would be, and now, here I am, in your room. Why? Because I have a proposition for you. Help me get rid of those so called ‘heroes,’ help me overthrow their government, and in return, you can be my equal, heck I’d allow you not to pay taxes. Do we have a deal?” He created a pulse blade in the hand behind his back, assuming she would attack him, then extended his other hand to her. (edited)

Rosalina sat on her seat puffed her fire to set off, listened every word he said very carefully. "Your eyes started to open huh. Whole evolution is just a coincidence of event chains occuring. Your case is no different, though you accepted that evolution. I respect that." She bent her neck behind, she was relaxed. At least no more fighting tonight but a confused man. "Though what you're missing is, Im not looking to be your equal." She said "equal" sarcastically. "I dont care your system, your government, your taxes. In fact I dont like any of them. This world stinks like a garbage pile, like a shithole. You all have been living in this without realizing it, for you until today maybe." She got up and looked away from the window "You know this place maybe? The worst place to live in Lightkent. Our city was supposed to be light to our country and maybe even to the world. But sad reality is it is none. This city is corrupted not because of mafia but because of your colleagues." She took a deep breath "So Adran, I think you understood at this point. None of your offers really pick my interest or I care. Tell me something realistic."

“Well, you’re pretty hard to convince.” He turns to leave. “I guess I’m doing this on my own. If you ever reconsider, I’ll be with my people.” He handed her a piece of paper. “Your terms, as long as they are reasonable. I hope you will reconsider, for the sake of thousands of lives.” He began to walk out, but then paused. “I could promise you their deaths. I have many allies within the system who don’t believe in what they do either. They would be willing to pull this off with us as well. Think about it, and then come visit me in my homeland. You need to speak with the guards first. Tell them I’m allowing you passage, and that you need to speak with me. I’m sure we can come to an agreement,” he said, and then left. It was a long trek to the wood elf cities, it was embedded in the heart of the forest where the forest was most beautiful and energetic. Unlike the humans, the elves were more resourceful and could keep the forest alive, unlike the humans who destroyed it. Yet he’d like to let them live, the war between the two races did not cloud his judgement, and he hated people who wanted only war without trying to bargain first, like his father, the king of the wood elves. The cities of the wood elves was beautiful, it reminded him how much he missed the forest. It was like he had a connection to it, a form of trust. In it, he felt the most alive. The guards welcomed him like he was still one of their own, even after leaving them. “Time to see my father,” he said, a feeling of dread coming over him. He walked to the castle, where he knew his family would be. They welcomed him home, and then he went to his house outside the castle, after making his father promise to give his little brother the throne when his father died. He decided to meditate because it had been a long day, and he needed rest. Tomorrow was going to be a long day. (edited)

Rosalina's eyes watched him go away. His words echoed in her mind "I want them dead..." "There are people who dont like the system too..." She had to lay down and think about her income in her hand. They were nowhere close to build what she dreamt of. Maybe this help could speed things up. Though the risk of betrayal was always there. By no means she could trust them. Maybe this was a bait but she was a minor threat to heroes for now, she found it's unnecessary to bait her and give such effort. It's not like they know anything. They knew nothing... What she knew was though... she had to lay down and rest. She heard a noise in a late night which woke her up. Someone was around. Was it Adran again? How many of those weirdos knew she was living there? She got up immediatly and opened all the lights she can in the room to see who was there. But it was gone. Whoever or whatever was there, was no more. She got up to check everything around. All was there except the paper. She never bothered to check it, maybe something was written in there he wanted her to see later, maybe was a secret, who knows. She had to tell it to him anyway. Next day she woke up she took a bus to the elven side. She'd fly there but last thing she wanted was to have attention on herself. She saw the guard and said "Adran is waiting for me. He probably told you.". She awaited for guard to show the way afterwards.

The guards knocked on his door. “We have someone who claims you have been waiting for her,” they said. “Is this true?” Adrian sighed in disappointment. “Yes, I told the other guards this. I’m disappointed they didn’t tell you,” he replied. “Shall we bring her to you?” they asked. “No, no, I’ll go get her myself. I don’t need any more screwing up today.” When he walked into the jail, he asked the guards where she was. They took him to the cell she was in. “Sorry about that,” he said. “There was a misconception. Although, it shouldn’t have happened. Did you show them the paper I gave you? Elves don’t trust humans so that’s why they took you here.” He was still annoyed that the day had already started off bad, so this was another thing that made it worse. Then the guards he told ran in. “Sorry sir, we forgot to tell the new guards,” they said in elvish. “It’s fine, It’s fine, I’m fixing it, now get her out of this cell,” he replied back in elvish. “So did you show them the paper?” he said, remembering he was still talking to her. (edited)

Rosalina had her usual frowning face on herself "The paper was stolen from my apartment last night after you left. Can guess after 4 hours, no signs of enterance except the open window. Im assuming its one of yours?" She said walked into the palace. "So is this where elves live huh? Never had the chance to say but as a human, I respect elves. I dont know your kind of elves though. The elves I know has brought many enlightment, art, philosophy and unique ideas to the world." She wondered why she said that, she only wanted to say that I guess. "Anyways back to main issue. What was written on that blank paper?"

A feeling of dread went over him. He spoke to the guards in elvish. “Did you let anyone in with a paper allowing passage through?” he asked, in a panic. “No, we didn’t,” they replied. “You must fact check anyone who claims to have a paper, and do not give them passage unless it’s been proven. Tell the guards not to let anyone with that paper in unless they can physically prove that they have been given that paper,” he said. He turned to her, speaking in the common language. “You got lucky this time. That paper is written in an elvish script and only elves can see it. Did anyone come to your house last night?” He asked.

Rosalina thought for a second. "Yes, I felt a presence. Though it was so light. When I realized someone was there they were gone already. I dont know if it was your political enemies or my enemies though. Nothing is clear nowadays really." She looked around. Everything was designed so gorgeously and so carefully. The place was full of whites, yet the most delicate colour was protected with all of it's might. "Though what I dont understand is, why? Why do you bother to be a hero? What's the catch?"

“Those were Dark Elves, or Drow is what we call them,” he replied. “The Drow are sworn enemies of the elves, both high and wood elves, after what they began to do, worship the dark gods. You were lucky that they got caught in time, otherwise the Drow would’ve taken over this city by now. As for me working with the heroes, I was trying to bring the humans and the elves together. I’m sick and tired of this war between us. Then I realized that not only the mafias are evil, so are the heroes, except for the mafias are chaotic evil, meaning they will do anything to destroy human civilization. The heroes are neutral to either side, whichever pays them more, which creates the heroes and villains. Obviously it was a bad idea to use the heroes as support, as they have no interest in bringing elves and humans out of war. Sure humans live so short, but you’ve got to admire their accomplishments. Like the reign of Phillip of Macedonia and Alexander the Great. It’s amazing that a man was able to bring that many people into one ruler,” he said. “Another reason I decided to join the heroes was because I knew they were corrupt, all the elves do. So they’ve sent people inside as sidekicks or even heroes. They’re too stupid to notice. We have been trying to bring it down because they’ve been destroying the woods, killing off what makes the woods the woods. Now, you are going to be let out of the cell. I’m going hunting, and once I’m back we can discuss terms,” he added. Hunting with the wolves again was as good as he remembered it to be. The thrill of being able to catch and release the animals was amazing. He was able to practice hiding in lightly obscured areas again, and the flow of his movement was beautiful. When he returned, he said to her, “Now let us discuss terms, or are you here to help me in return for the deaths of the ‘heroes’?” (edited)

Rosalina got up from the cell she was at. She couldn't hold her smile even though in a situation like this. The breeze of her and Alex's memories together. It's been millenias yet it was like yesterday for her. It was weird to think how he's known as a legend nowadays. She shook her head to clear her thoughts. Those were from milleniums ago anyways. "If you're done with hunting, let's get to business. It's been hours already. Shall we get to a room where we can speak in private?" Her cheerful face was left to dead serious one, once again.

When Adran saw her smile fell, he knew exactly why. How could he have been so stupid. His grandfather would tell him stories about Alexander the Great, and he would mention the girl he fell in love with. She matched that description completely. “We can go somewhere private, although my father, the king, wanted to speak with you as well to discuss the plan if you agree,” he replied. He was still shocked that this was the girl who, 4,000 years ago, fell in love with the man who brought many kingdoms together. He led her to his home, and asked the guards to make sure nobody came in or out. “Now, for the terms,” he said.

"Before the terms. I'd like to hear the idea. As an elven prince and from what I can see what you desire is to make sure another war between humans and elves won't happen again, correct?"

“Yes. This is not only destroying their population, but our armies as well. I will not let both of them die. As for what must happen, both the mafia and the heroes must be destroyed, as they are the whole reason this war still continues today.”

"A war with such huge conflict wouldn't have any winners on any side that's for sure. What I dont understand is how come such human forces could have this much of an effect on this political situation? Does elven politics include heroes or the mafia somehow?"

“The mafia and heroes will send attackers to our side, and even kill some of our people who are in the human cities. My father has had enough, and has declared war against them for honor of our people. They even killed my brother, Tharivol as well. I hate them more than I hate people who fight without trying to sort it out first. This needs to stop now, or the demise of the humans will happen.”

Rosalina put her hand to her chin thinking for few seconds. "Im sorry for your loss." Though her sound wasn't feeling any kind of sadness at all. " I see, how's mafia killing your people at human cities help at all though? And why would they want to bother with your politics in first place?" (edited)

“The heroes think it will destroy the non powerful humans. Sadly, they are correct. It is for their own personal benefit. The mafia do it so they can get control, and don’t act like you’re sorry if you’re not. You’re only embarrassing yourself. I know all about you now. My grandfather told me stories about you and Alexander. But like they say, don’t let your feelings be because of the past. I understand you lost a lot. That is something that I would never want to experience. I hope your attitude will change and that you won’t sit on the past like you have been.”

Rosalina raised an eyebrow "Who does he think I am? Does this universe had a similar case too? Or someone has been naughty aren't they?? Well that's a thing to deal with for another day. Eh, I'll play along with it. Though he's one hell of a rude son of a bitch that's for sure. Elves are, yeah not all elves are the same." She rolled her eyes and said "I see but I doubt this has a thing to do with me. What you aim is to make sure to not have a destruction and loss. Which I'll have to oppose, I think that's exactly what humans need. A damage to the knee to come back to their senses once again. Though for elves, it'll be unfortunate." Her voice was toneless and dead cold serious. She didn't have no such emotions while she said those words.

“I knew this was a bad idea. You are so cold because you spend so much time thinking on how much you have lost, it clouds your judgement. I cannot let them do this to themselves. I understand how you feel, I’ve met people who have lost as much as you, but they don’t go destroying cities, or joining mafia groups. You claim you’re not a villain? You may not be, but you’re not better than they are. You think they chose to be like this? I’ve talked to them and this is not what they want, they feel as if they have no choice.” He felt psionic energy building in him. “Have you ever tried talking to them? Have you ever tried to see how they feel? How I feel? No you didn’t, so do not act like they have any reason to do with this.” He let an outburst of harmless psionic energy. “If you want to work with us, you have to be able to listen, and adapt. So put on your big girl shoes and quit sulking in the past.” He promptly left to his place where he usually burned his anger out and then meditated to calm himself and to get an explanation on what to do. When he got out of his meditation trance, there she was, standing in front of him. One of the wolves he hunted with was standing between them, growling at her. “Down, boy,” he said. “Listen. I don’t know how it is to lose a lot. You cannot just sulk in your own feelings. I blew up because, although I agree with you, you remind me of someone I hated very much. They were so obsessed with their past they didn’t consider anyone else. I cannot let you do this to yourself, because, I care about you. I care about everyone, really. I want to help them, but I can’t if you won’t at least listen with your heart, not your mind. The heroes and the mafia need to be drawn to their knees. They are threatening the commoners. It’s not like the common people are not doing this by choice. They are afraid because they think they will be attacked by the heroes. See for yourself if you want, but I am telling the truth. They are afra-“ (edited)

He was interrupted by a guard screaming for help. He and Rosalina ran to where the guards were. Standing there were three Drow. “Hello, Adran,” they said. Adran pulled out two pulse blades, and began fighting. Although they were struggling, he was struggling as well. He looked up at her. “A little help?” he asked. Just then more guards came to help. Adran breathed a sigh of relief. After the last Drow was taken care of, a guard whispered something to him in elvish. He looked at her, concerned for a moment, then returned to his usual analytical self. “Congratulations, Rosalina. You have successfully caught the attention of my father, the King. He wishes to speak with you at dawn tonight. If you are correct about the people, he will agree with you, and I will accept it. If you’re wrong, I hope you will choose to do the same thing I will do.” He then left, making sure she couldn’t track him this time.
