Hello! Welcome to Broken Futures!

Although we are a based on Dragon Ball keep in mind that we use it for the elements the show brought to us. We are not using ANY canon characters, only the world in which the show was built on. We are mostly a free form RPG with some stats to help track character growth. However, for the most part, your stats only matter in important fights or large events ran by a GM/DM.

We don't have any specific guidelines on what can or cannot be written about. So long as the Zetaboards ToS isn't violated. If a topic gets mature, keep it reasonable and do your best not to violate the host ToS. We don't like to limit you to what you want to write about and will trust your judgement not to make any posts in the extreme.

We are set in Future Trunks' timeline so the world is in ruin. Which would classify it as post-apoc. It's always been the best-styled setting to build a new world on top of. We have built this site to be based around the actions of the players. You will help build the world you're playing in. Every action within major events will influence how the world structures itself.

We have no word count, no canon face claims, no post formatting and no drama. We want you to come here and have fun. Before you sign up, please look over the Game a bit to decide if you are interested. After you've made an account make sure to introduce yourself here and say hello in the Chatbox.

What Have You Done; Daze
Topic Started: May 4 2016, 08:48 PM (727 Views)
Angeles
It had taken her a while to get out of the house after that day, even longer to get to this place, and even still, she was standing outside the city, looking at the sand rather than the building which was her destination. She was dressed all the way from her neck down. The tight body armor that served as a catalyst for the outer suit that Roots had made for her, tucked in a metal pod between her wings, all under her coat.

But protection was not why she was wearing it.

She didn't even breathe as she lifted her eyes from the sand to the bar, the color had not changed from the color of tar since the attack on Haven, and she worried for what it meant. How much more of her was she going to lose to the demonic magic?

But that was not why she was here. Her hands in her pockets, she began to step forward. There was someone she needed to see, to talk to, and she didn't even know if he was there, ever since he cut himself away from everyone he had ever called a friend. Angeles' steps stopped again and she looked away from the building once more, standing just a few feet from the door. She didn't know if she could do this. She didn't know if she could hold herself together. She didn't know what she was going to do when she saw him, if he was even here. For all she knew, he had died.

And still, despite everything, that thought made her sick.

Daze
Daze had been up early this day, which had become quite the common occurrence since he got back home. Most of the days, Kamrun had been with him and most of the days, he's been waking up before her. Letting her sleep and being very careful not to wake her.

Today was no different.

Ever since Kamrun brought Daze back to his bearings, he spent every morning quietly cleaning and prepping the place for business. He has, in a way, turned over a new leaf. More protective of Bruce and his home than ever before. Never really wanting to leave anymore. Adventures, fighting, fucking and drinking have hardly been a part of his life much less a reason for living.

He still likes music and sleepingn though.

"What's... that...?" Daze gasped silently to himself as he peered out the window, seeing a very familiar face. "Oh," he muttered, dropping the rag he was cleaning the dust on the window frame with onto the ground.

White silky wraps began to lace his body, extending his hair. The sight made his skin crawl, made him immediately jump into defensive mode. Adrenaline rushed through his systems, making him fully aware that he needed to approach her outside of the bar. He was positive this wouldn't be a friendly meeting. Something about the twisting and turning of his gut told him that.

So he stepped out to see her, stopping at the center of the village just a few yards from her.

"Hey... Angeles," Daze said, making sure to use her name.

Being sober for almost a week has granted him a bit more focus and care for things like names.

Angeles
Angeles heard a door open, and her black eyes turned to look to the bar across the street. He was there, clad entirely in the white silk material she had seen him in so long ago on that planet, where he had endangered the lives of his friends, and destroyed the lives of people he didn't even know.

She stayed still and silent as he approached, stopping a few yards from her, and greeting her, using her name.

She frowned, looking at the ground at his feet, her hands in her pocket curled into fists and she grimaced, in anger, then in pain. Too many conflicting emotions fight to demand to run this conversation.

Her mind flashed to her fight with Andariel, what the demon had told her, to the screaming injured, the accusing scared, to Jack, to feeling Daze and his mates begin to disappear and fearing the worse, to the planet, the anger and confusion and the moon getting destroyed, to working with Goemon to help Terminus.

Her body jerked with a silent sob, but she caught it quickly, composed herself with a shaky breath through gnashed teeth. He was nervous, she could tell that much, and almost reflexively her mind touched against his, but didn't force in, not yet at least.

"I'm... Not here to start anything, Daze," she said quietly, looking at him again, brow bent in anguish, frowning deeply, keeping her hands in her pockets.

"I just... Needed to ask... Do, do you intend to do anything to at least try to... Make it up to the people you hurt at Terminus?"

This hurt to do, she felt like she was dragging words from the abyss of her stomach through the muck with weak hooks. It was all she could do to hold herself together, and not fall to her knees and screaming.

Daze
"Good," Daze stated bluntly to her statement of not coming here to cause any issues.

He wanted to believe her, but before he could feel out his emotions in time to decide that, she asked her question that made him realize that was a lie. Her question alone, if answered wrong, would cause strife. He couldn't help but look at the ground and sigh.

"To be honest... I don't know," Daze said plainly. "I don't know about anything anymore... I'm still tryin' to figure things out and until I do... I just don't know what to do about anythin'," Daze admitted, looking at his own hands and then up at her.

"What's... the real reason you're here?" Daze asked again, being direct with his approach to the conversation.

Angeles flinched when Daze said 'good' as the only response to what she had said. Her eyes widened and her wings drooped. He was acting like she was the offender her, like it hadn't been him that had dropped earth onto Terminus, killing hundreds, or the one who had betrayed her, and allowed several dozens to die in Haven.

She took a shaky breath, and a step back, then grit her teeth behind a deep frown.

Daze admitted he wasn't sure what he was going to do about anything, and looked at his hands, and then asked her bluntly, why she was really there.

A painful churning welled in her chest as she looked at Daze, treating her like she was the villain, that she would at any time snap and attack him and destroy his home. She looked away and tightly closed her eyes as painful memories of people screaming at her in terror, throwing stones at her and demanding she leave them alone.

That she had done enough to them already.

And Andariel's voice, telling her exactly who it was that allowed her to do her evil.

"You... lied to me," she hissed, taking a few short breaths, opening her eyes as tears streamed down and looking to him, brow darkened, "I trusted you... you told me she was gone, that my sister's murderer was no more, and I believed you," her voice broke and she gnashed her teeth, "you deceived me, you let her live, changed her so that she could hide from me. My sister's killer, who stole her face, Andariel. Why?" her voice broke and she stopped for a moment, staring directly into Daze's eyes, and her voice raised in anger, "after everything we had done together, after calling me a friend, calling Astraea your friend you let her murderer live! Why!?"

"She... she didn't... Jack and... what's her... I don't..." Daze sighed, frustrated at the fuzz in his head.

He felt it. Felt the pain, what he wanted to say, but the words were hard, clouded. He inhaled deeply, looking up at Angeles, his eyes glowing purple. All emotion struck from his face as he opened up a portal beside him. He walked it's way, taking a step inside.

"Come on... we'll talk in here... it's hard to talk right now," Daze admitted, stepping into the fade.

Hoping that she would follow him.

Daze tried words, broken speech and Angeles bit her lip to keep from just screaming at him again as it sounded like he was trying to make excuses. Truth was she knew he probably didn't even remember, which almost made it worse. With a flash of purple Daze gave up and opened a portal into the fade, walking in so that he could be somewhere he could think coherently.

Angeles didn't move at first, then stepped to where Daze had been, walking in, and looking over at the bar, glancing at a redhead looking down at them through the window with a worried expression, then Angeles looked away from her, and was soon in the fade with Daze.

She didn't say anything. Words she uttered now would just turn into more yelling, more anger, and she didn't want that, she wanted answers, she wanted to know why he had done it, what possible reason he had to betray her like that, and she grit her teeth almost painfully to keep herself quiet. Black eyes looking at the man, keeping her hands in her pockets.

The two found themselves in a floating room in endless space. There was a bed, a couch and it was made of wood. Not much else was worth of note. Machi made some time ago... and it was where he attempted to free Andariel from Jack's mistake. It was also where he made the mistake of betraying Angeles.

"Okay... here, just... give me a moment," Daze sighed through a stuttered breath.

The orbs began to glow brightly in his forearms beneath the silky wraps covering his body. Suddenly they were ejected and propelled outward from his body very far away into the endless space. He let out a much more calm sigh, slowly looking up at Angeles with his orange eye, wearing a very unhappy expression.

"Hey, sorry..." he said plainly, keeping his emotions in check. "I've... done a lot of dumb shit and I cannot blame it all on my curse. I also cannot apologise my way out of this. Sorry isn't going to cut it," Daze said.

"Just know I did what I did with the best intentions... to try and spare a life who was not at fault for Astraea's death. She didn't choose to be born, she didn't kill her. Not really. I couldn't justify shifting the blame on a life so young nor could I ask you to forgive a demon who wore Astraea's face... I tried to find a middle ground. I tried to find a way to clean the mess Jack made. It worked a while, but like a band aide... it was only a temporary fix," Daze sighed.

"I didn't expect her to be wicked after losing her demon body, but she deserved a chance to try to be good," Daze finished.

Daze took a moment to jettison the orbs from his arms, flinging them to the distance so that he could think more clearly. In this state he explained his reasoning and Angeles frowned, and continued to do so as he came to the end and finished with his excuse.

She set her jaw, gritting her teeth for a moment then inhaled, "I don't know what idea she put in your head that absolved her off the evil she did. She killed Astraea, intentionally, tried to force us to turn against each other, and nearly killed me add well that night.

"You knew what had happened, I told you myself, she took Astraea's face, her memories, and paraded around as her, you knew it wasn't her, and you knew what the demon had done, and you spared her life, and hid her away from me, and to top it all off, lied about what had happened. You gambled with one life, and it cost the lives of many."

Angeles gave a shaky breath, then inhaled deeply, gnashing her teeth, "she used her power do impersonate me and attack Haven. She destroyed homes and lives wearing my face, with the intention to deal Jack a terrible blow, and to hurt me as well. And she was all the willing to tell me who it was that allowed her to do her evil."

Angeles stopped, inhaling again, thinning her lips but unable to stop one from quivering.

"I trusted you," she hissed face again twisting in anguish, "and after everything we've been through, you betrayed me, and I came here for answers and you treat me like the one who can't be trusted."

Another shaky breath, and she felt a hot tear run down her cheek. She quickly looked from Daze, wiping it away with the heel of her palm and took two steps away from him. She took a couple steadying breaths, but her body still shuddered.

She didn't say anything for a while. She wanted to, but her voice refused to come past the knot in her throat which she tried in vain to swallow. She closed her eyes and curled a wing to break the line of sight Daze had to her. She had spent a good amount of time in the past week shedding tears over what had happened, and he didn't deserve to see them.

"That was her choice to make... but she deserved the chance to make that choice. She didn't choose to be born or choose to have your sisters face or memories. Prosecuting someone just because they way they were born is cruel," Daze admitted. "She gave me the option to kill her, I almost did. I almost spaced her, but it felt wrong," Daze said.

"So I made it so she was no longer the demon who took your sisters face. Spared from that fate. She, however, chose to aspire to that cruelty," Daze explained.

"There's no excuse for what I did... I just did what felt right and I'm sorry that meant going behind your back," Daze apologized. "I don't mean to be hostile towards you... I just don't know what to think about anyone anymore. I don't deserve to have the friends I did before. I betrayed and hurt too many people. It's why I severed the spell that bound me to them and isolated myself," Daze admitted.

"I'm too dangerous..."

Daze continued to defend his choice and what he had done, stating it wasn't Andariel's fault for being born, which it wasn't, that was a culmination of Jack being an idiot, and her breaking the sword he made while being an idiot. But Angeles knew that the energy released from it had been sentient, the energy that had latched onto and drained Astraea into nothing had done so from choice. And even if he couldn't have known that, which he couldn't because she had not gone into explicit detail about that night, he still saw her openly pretend to be Astraea in the tournament, announcing to everyone that she was Astraea, blatantly impersonating the woman Daze had called a friend, and that he knew was dead.

"She used you to be able to get away from me," Angeles hissed, moving her wing to see him again through her pitch black eyes, "and now because of it, I have lost the faith of the people I want to protect, people who would rather die, than let me touch them, because they don't trust me anymore. Just like you don't now, even though the only thing I've ever wanted for you, and worked to get you, was so that you could be free of your damned curse, and live a happy life in your own unclouded mind."

Angeles frowned, touching her chest where she had felt Daze's magic enter her so many months ago, where it had remained until just days ago, when she felt it leave, and felt emptier for it. Where it still hurt, to see him like this.

"You... obviously don't fully believe that yourself. Otherwise you wouldn't be here, and you wouldn't be endangering the people you do still obviously care about, Bruce, and that girl in your room, worried and afraid of what I'm going to do to you."

Angeles inhaled, and sighed, touching a hand to her head and shaking it, "if you really believed you were that dangerous, you would have left this planet, and isolated yourself where perhaps only I could find you," she lowered her hand from her head, "instead you're here, where you feel safe, and where you feel those people are safe from you, I don't know why, I'm... trying not to break into your mind.... I've heard too many thoughts and felt too much pain to want to know what you truly think and feel right now. I might... just break...."

She thinned her lips, looking at the ground again, I left you in the desert to find your way once your head was clear enough you could course the path, even subconsciously, and you went back home. Something brought you there, something keeps you there, something that you thing is strong enough to either resist you, or live with you, and I have a feeling I know what it is."

Angeles sighed and ran a hand through her hair, "everyone is potentially dangerous in their own way, it's what they choose to do with that potential that makes them evil, or not," Angeles looked to Daze again, her face now calm, some pain still shown in the bend of her brow and slight turn of her lips, but it seemed the rest of it had been sloughed off, or bottled in.

"I taught someone that recently," she said, sighing heavily and looking at the ground, "I guess everyone deserves a chance to have that choice. And second chances if they are willing to redeem themselves," her thoughts went to Jack, wherever he was, and her wings, folded behind her, finally at rest as the feathers, ruffled from agitation, began to lay flat.

"I'm sorry I came here and disturbed your peace," she said softly, turning as if to leave, then hesitating, still staring at the ground for a moment, "I'm... glad... that you've finally found the happiness I knew you always deserved," she lifted her eyes to him again, a weak smile on her lips, "she seems like a nice girl, with a beautiful soul."

"She is," Daze admitted, smiling and sighing. "I'm sorry I was so hostile towards you... I'm just so scared. Don't leave yet. While Kamrun grounds me and helps make me feel like a normal person I don't think I want to dump all this baggage on her. Demons, Angels, Aliens and monsters..." Daze paused, looking away as if the last bit was in reference to himself. "I just don't want to get her burden her any more than I have," Daze confessed.

"I have no right to ask anything of you. Even if it's to just stay and talk. You don't owe me anything. No matter how small. But if you'd consider it, just for a bit longer, stay and talk with me," Daze asked.

"If you want, you can enter my mind. I should have let you done this some time ago. Let you see it all," Daze sighed. "I was a fool to keep anything from you. I know better... I was just scared and ashamed of my actions," he winced, looking away and dropping his enchantment.

Slowly the white bindings fell from his body and his hair receded back to its normal style.

"I don't want to betray my mates again."

It was... good, to see him smiling like that. It was an expression she recognized personally. It was all she wanted at this point, and she turned again to make a portal and leave, lifting her hand to cast the spell, but he asked her to stay, apologizing for his actions and she looked at him again. As he finished speaking, the white silk on his skin and in his hair began to fall away, and Angeles' hand lowered, black eyes glancing around, then back to him.

"I'll stay," she said quietly, slipping her hand into her pocket. She shifted, and turned her steps to the bed, turning and sitting on it's edge, "hope you don't mind if I sit. I'm... tired."

She sighed, moving her hands from her pockets and resting her arms on her legs.

"Only a couple feel betrayed," she admitted, "I would... steer clear of Goemon, for at least a while. Alinia cared more for you than anything when we left that planet, I'm sure she doesn't feel betrayed. Roots...," she sighed, "may take some time. The others, I'm not certain, when you cut your magic, they were gone, had I not been among them when it happened, I would have thought they had died, like I had when I felt you and Roots vanish...,"

He had given her leave to enter his mind, she did, but not too far. It was still so very different from when she had broken through when he was overcome by his emotions. She was silent for a bit to gather information, and then smiled a bit, chuckling.

"How interesting," she looked up at Daze, "she grounds you, and you gave her wings."

Angeles patted the bed next to her, "sit, talk with me, like we used to when we were friends, before the anger and fear."

"Thank you, knowing that and you staying mean more to me than you know," Daze admitted, moving to sit next to Angeles.

"Yeah, ironic, I know... I think I wish to rid myself of this power," Daze admitted, looking down at his hands. "Being able to change people like that. It's too much for me," Daze confessed. "I'm not responsible enough to use it wisely. I'm going to avoid using it again. Strike it as forbidden magic," Daze nodded.

"I don't... think I'm ready to talk to Roots or Goemon yet," Daze confessed.

"I can promise you, they're not ready to talk to you yet either," she said softly, looking from him to his hands. She reached over and touched one of his hands with her gloved fingers, then took it with a sigh and brought it to her lap.

"That's if you remember that you marked it as forbidden," she teased, but was being honest. Her finger traced the lines in his hand, pondering for a moment, sorting through both his thoughts and hers.

Angeles frowned a bit, looking at his hand, and then his arm, touching the underside where the orbs usually lay.

"Do you still want me to figure out how to get rid of them, without the cost it takes on your body?" Angeles looked up to Daze, "I know last time you said you couldn't imagine that you could be very long without them, but... it would help you remember, give you better control...."

Angeles quieted and frowned, looking at his arm again.

"To be honest, I've been doing very well lately," Daze smiled. "Maybe it's just a coincidence, but since I got back and Kamrun made me feel better I've been able to hold my composure better," Daze smiled. "Or... maybe it's because I've been rather sober lately," Daze laughed. "But I'd like to credit Kamrun. She helped bring me out of the darkness when I couldn't," Daze stated.

"I'm rambling, sorry," he sighed, blushing lightly. "I think... maybe a more effective way to bring myself to this state would be the best solution," Daze said. "Maybe a spell or a button that when I hit it you pop up and remove them for me," Daze teased back, knowing how ridiculous the idea of an Angeles summoning button would be.

Not to mention how badly he'd abuse that.

Daze smiled again. He was smiling a lot, and not his usual grin either. He explained and she laughed slightly, "no drinking?" she said, faking an incredulous look, "you're not really Daze are you?" she gave him a suspicious smirk.

Daze continued, trying to think of some other way to stop the spheres from taking over as they did, he joked about a spell or button he could use to summon her whenever he needed the orbs removed and she chuckled, "well, I had that," she said, "I had figured out your magic... to an extent, the one you used to keep track of your mates, and I reversed it a bit so that I could keep track of them as well, and you, I even could know what you were thinking or feeling, so that I would know when I was needed."

Angeles tapped two fingers to her temple, to show the latter were abilities of her mind, and then lowered her hand back to her lap, "something like that again could work, I could figure out something, if you don't feel like using that magic again."

"No, that magic is fine... I was being melodramatic when I cancelled the spell," Daze explained, shaking his head at himself. "I had convinced myself I didn't deserve to have any mates... or that maybe it would be better if I didn't since I am such a hindrance to them," Daze added.

"I think now I just need to seek forgiveness from each one. Plus, starting with a clean slate isn't such a poor idea. Some of the people I was associating with weren't exactly good for my well being," Daze added.

"Once I feel my old friends... my real friends, have forgiven me, I'll retag them with the spell," Daze concluded.

"Ran Ain," Angeles hissed with a grin, when he mentioned friends that were bad for him; that soon faded to a smirk. She lowered her head, then leaned over, resting her head on his shoulder, "when you're ready then, give me the magic, and I'll help protect your friends with you," she said softly. Black eyes blinked once then slid closed, the hand that held his laced her fingers between his. She still loved him, more than she should, more than was healthy for her relationship with Roots, but she would continue to deny it, if not for her and her husband, then for Daze and Kamrun.

"I don't ever want you to fell that pain of loss again," she whispered, "I don't want you to feel alone like that ever again, that is a pain not any person should bear. You are never alone Daze, ever, don't forget that."

Daze couldn't help but feel a strange conflicting emotion within him when Angeles got close to him. A part of him wanted the closeness. The touch of her hand, her head resting on his shoulders. But another made him feel horrible about it. He shook the feeling off, not wanting to make things awkward or lose the grounds gained from their talk. Much had been repaired, although likely not fully, just from this moment.

"Yeah. Mainly her," Daze admitted, lightly resting his head on hers. "And you know you're my mate. Even if I dispelled the magic, that doesn't change that," Daze smiled, the pule of energy escaping out from him and tagging Angeles who sat next to him.

She'd more than likely only feel Kamrun. The past was unclear and muddled even to Zen Daze due to recent confusing events. Plus he wasn't thinking about it.
