UNTO RUIN
Status: Sign-Ups



Skye is lost! It's people... dead. It's guardians... dead. Civilization... dead.

From the hell-spawned fires of whence it came it now promptly returns to with reckless abandon, and to wilderness, and anarchy, does the remnents of Skye retreat. The great clear dome of Yokosaki has vaulted itself into the hard, cold steel of protection. The elaborate caves of Fortune's Burrow have long-since closed its doors to outsiders. And the floating settlement of Koerbrochyve Vnitiev... lost to the wind, as it floats aimlessly into tomorrow and beyond. All hopes of salvation... gone.

And so, I send this message out, to you. And whoever wishes to heed the call: Return to Skye. Seek her wisdom. Find the remains.

Help us.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You know how it ends... but how will it begin?

From the same creator that has revived The Console Wars comes a new FRPG: Skye: Unto Ruin. Based on the level that never was (but soon may be), SUR takes place in the glory days of the dead nation of Skye, a soverign state hidden amongst the mighty peaks of the Himalayas.

Geographically isolated, the civilization of Skye quickly came into its own, evolving into a bountiful and beautiful empire, with riches beyond your wildest imagination and logic several lightyears ahead of normal mankind. Rediscovered in 1892, by an expedition led by world-renown trailblazer Sir Perry Thistlewood, people from all around the world flocked to the abundant Aeriomyth Valley, seeking out their claims to the new Garden of Eden. From these foreign invaders rose 3 sentiment and independent city states:

- Yokosaki: A utopian cybercity, encased in an iconic, battle-proven, impenetrable glass dome. Suburbs filled with the latest in technology, floating gardens, and the ever-present sentinel watch around the establishment and beyond make this state both safe... and feared, amongst its many neighbours. And yet, none have ventured into the central tower...

- Fortune's Burrow: Established by American entrepenuers and oil barons, the aptly dubbed "City of Dark Deals" is much the equivanlent to an underground Reno, but filled with nasty dealers and cunning thieves. Largely unattended and left alone, this smuggler's haven has evolved into a prominent threat to all people should they venture near the slopes of K3.

- Koerbrochyve Vnitiev: Seeking shelter from constant prejudices and attempted assaults on the faith, these East Orthodox missionaries took to the skies, eventually developing a small town for themselves amongst the floating remnants of the old empire. Yet, even when floating high in the clouds, will the vile sting of oppresion come, like a banshee in the night.

And what happened next... is unknown That's where you come in. The story has its beginning and end, but what happens in-between is entirely up to you, me, and everyone else who wishes to participate. Action, love, comedy, peril, fright, death- all up for the taking! All will come winding down to its tragic and spectacular end... where the story of Skye: An Uplifting Adventure will take root. The choice is yours: do you wanna try and save Skye?... or help in its ruin?

But as her flight ventured around the Himalayas range, it was hi-jacked by "Saviors", a terrorist group bent on "restoring" Skye to order. After a long struggle over control of the plane, her flight crashed in one of the many floating ruins throughout Skye. The first thing she remembers after the crash was waking up... and dangling thousands of feet beyond the valley floor.

((Hold on! I'm workin' on somethin'! Sheesh!! ))
((EDIT: Done. Let's start playing...))

Drifting, they call it. The state of one's being that seemingly doesn't stand still, but is moving to somewhere. Perhaps beyond the towering peaks that surround Aeriomyth Valley and the country of Skye laying within. And for Aiya, well... she just kept driftin'.
Thousands of feet beyond the valley floor, the young lass lazily picked at the grass, lying under the old oak on an isolated, floating island that she calls home. Yokosaki looked like a tiny, microscopic ant, encased in its own glass shell. The coulds, or "the sheep of God's domain", as Father Josef would put it, swirled around the floating ruins, changing and appearing and disappearing, then reappearing, as they usually do. Nothing but a lazy midday for her... time to look for work.
Slowly getting up from her resting position, Aiya walks towards the edge of the small, floating rock, just mere inches away from a death-defying drop to the valley floor below. Taking a deep breath, she closes her eyes, spreads her arms out, leans forward... and drops. In an instant, she gpes from 0 mph to 60 before finally moving her arms.
Ripping a cord on her backpack, a large set of mechanical, wooden wings shoot out from both sides, stretching to a wingspan that was at a 2:1 ratio for the girl's frame. Strapping in her arms to wristbands hanging off the wings, she yanks them upwards, thereby propelling herself from a downward dive to an upward rise. And for a second, she was as light as a feather.
"Let's hope Father has something for me to do [I]this{/I] time," Aiya spoke to herself, steering hefself in the direction towards Koerbrochyve Vnitiev.		2011-01-02 22:15:00

Dear Diary,

Day 1

I was walking home from the arcade when I found this strange rock. It glowed an eerie green, and seemed cracked in places. It was then that I dropped it, and upon contact with the ground, it burst open. Next thing I know, I'm on this giant cloud staring at the ruins of so-

((I'm posting next, gimme some time!))
((My character name will be... Jakz ))

Jakz found his next victim. A lonely, 27 year-old walked by Jakz as he hid in the alley. Suddenly the man started to panic, something covered his mouth, stopping his breathing. As the man dropped, he was dragged into the alleyway.

Jakz - "Let's see what he's got."

There was nobody around, so Jakz was really just talking to himself. Tomeh reached inside th guys pocket, and took out his wallet.

Jakz - "Hmmmm... Quite rich are ya?"

Jakz took out $500, all the guy had, and left.

Jakz - "His money may not buy him happiness, but it will for me!"

Jakz laughed a bit. He had a big grin. Tomeh entered a nearby bakery.

Bakery Man - "Hello there! What can I... oh... You again?"
Jakz - "I have money, I'm here to buy, not steal... this time."

Jakz put some money on the table and asked for a few loaves of bread.

Bakery Man - "That's a lot of money for a homeless child."
Jakz - "I'm not homeless..."

Jakz was struggling to think of what to say.

Jakz - "Uhhh... the water's just not working at home."
Bakery Man - "Is that why you're wearing ripped clothes, and your covered in mud?"

Jakz really was homeless. This 15 year-old boy had lost his parents when he was 10, they were killed right in front of him. The Bakery Man decided to give him the bread anyway, he needed the money, even if it was stolen.

As Jakz walked out he started talking to himself.

Jakz - "I need to get out of this crummy town. All these people stare at me like I'm some kind of freak of nature. They think that a boy my age should be taken out of the town and killed. If I got out of here, I could start a new life, I could get money, I could..."

His voice trailed off at his next thought. Jakz walked over to a group of boxes, and picked one up, uncovering a sewer passageway. He went down to the sewers. He made himself a home there. Had some rags on the floor for a bed, a stolen lamp attached to a giant battery. A few books beside the bed too. He lay in his bed, thinking of his next move, and planning how he is going to leave this place.

The city of Fortune's Burrow was a hellhole. Filled to the brim with the dregs of humanity- the crooks, the prostitutes, the thieves, the backstabbers, the wealthy, the poor. Evil seemed to seep straight from the bowels of hell and straight into the heart of the city.

And that's what Lance liked about it.

He took another puff on his cigar. This... was going to be a tough job ahead.

He heard a voice from behind him, calling his name. he turned around to see his partner- Drake.

"What the hell took you so long?" Lance grunted as Drake came over.

"Turns out we ran into a little problem."

"Oh, really? Whatever might that be?" Lance smirked as he took another puff.

"It's Gunny. He sold us out."

"What? Why the hell would he- to who?!"

"To Frank, of course. Frank paid him off. Gunny would sell his own mother for a nickle. And with all that Frank gave him, well-"

"I don't care!" Lance snapped. "We have to get out of here, before..."

"Before? Why, my good sir... what's this about a "Before"?" a voice from behind called. Lance turned around to stare straight into the face of a pistol.

"Mr Frank doesn't take too kindly to spies," the thug smirked... and at which point, Lance was hit in the back of the neck.

The last thing he saw before he passed out was Drake staring down at him...		2011-01-02 22:53:00

Hyde Nealoha struck down onto stone with his pickaxe. Rock chunks went flying as he continued to mine. He had no idea how long he'd been underground since he fell through some loose gravel. The team he was with probably got seperated, too. He had fallen into a cavern with a source of water flowing down into darkness. He continued to mine away at the rock.

About an hour later, when he had dug a nice one foot deep hole, he stuck the bottom of the hole, only for the rock he struck to collapse into an empty void. He nearly lost his pickaxe, as his hands were sweaty. He quickly threw his pick beside him and climbed out of the hole. He grabbed his fedora with a single feather and stuck it onto his head. Grabbing his flagpole and pickaxe, he walked back to the whole and climbed in. Peering into the darkness, he grinned to himself. Because in the darkness, there were lights. They illuminated a path to the left of his visibility. He guaranteed that this was the very thing he had been searching for. Looter's paradise. City of thieves.

"Fortune's Burrow." he said to himself.

He plunged into the darkness.		2011-01-02 23:03:00

Jakz left his home in the sewers of Fortunes Burrow and set off to find help. He went and found an Information Dealer. He was located in an abandoned building.

Info Dealer - "Client?"
Jakz - "Yeah."
Info Dealer - "What would you like to know?"
Jakz - "How can I leave this Future's Burrow?"

The Information Dealer turned to Jakz with a confused look.

Info Dealer - "Nobody 'leaves' Future's Burrow, once your in your here for life."
Jakz - "If there's a way in, there's a way out."
Info Dealer - "That usually is true, but there are guards everywhere. Usually the only way in is birth, and even more common, the only way out is death."
Jakz - "If I could take out the guards, could I get out?"
Info Dealer - "You can't take out the guards."

Jakz felt like this was completely pointless. He made his way to the door, then he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned and was met with a knife to his throat. Jakz started to panic.

Info Dealer - "I gave you info. Now you need to repay me."
Jakz - "I g-g-got mon-n-ey. P-please, I-I-I can pay you!"
Info Dealer - "I've got another offer, do as I say, or I'll kill you."

Jakz was brought to a building he's never seen before. He stared at the door. He had no idea what was on the other side, and he didn't want to find out...		2011-01-02 23:24:00

Dear Diary,

Day 2

A strange man named Shui beat me up. Then saved me. Then beat me up again when I asked if we were friends. He's not very nice.
However, this dojo IS. It seems to be almost completely underground, but one side has a nice view of a beautiful cave. I went up for some fresh air a few minutes ago. It seems this dogo is located right next to-

Shui: *punches Thomas in the ear*
Thomas: OW! What did I do this time?
Shui: Discussion of the location of the dojo is forbidden.
Thomas: Aww, but why.
Shui: It's a SECRET dojo! It's not a secret if everyone knows where it is!
Thomas: *sigh* Fiiiinee.
Shui: Good. *walks away*
Thomas: *looks out the window into the cave* I wish I was home right now...
????: What makes you so important that Master Shui talks to YOU?
Thomas: *jumps slightly into the air* WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY!?!
????: *giggle* You're jumpy.
Thomas: *turns around to see a pretty girl about his age ((14))* Oh...um...hello.
????: So, what makes you so special?
Thomas: Uuh...a rock.
????: A rock?
Thomas: A glowing rock.
????: Uh-huh...
Thomas: From space.
????: I see.
Thomas: So, um...what's your na-
????: Lucy.
Thomas: Ah. Mine's Thomas.
Lucy: Nice to meet you. *holds out hand*
Thomas: *blushes* Umm...nice to met you too. *shakes hand*
Lucy: *giggles* Well, I'm going to be late for my lessons if I don't leave now. See you around! *runs off*
Thomas: ....

((OK, my turn! I'll call my charachter Quincy!))

Quincy was... different from the other kids. He didn't know it. That is, until he discovered his power to transform into a skinless demon. This came at a price, however, for for every bad thing he did, he would get more ugly. For every good thing, he would get more nice-looking. One day, at age 7, he turned into a demon and tried to turn back. He couldn't. So everyone he knew tried killing him just because he was different. Nothing worked. They all did not want a demonic beast from Hell on their little village, so he was exiled forever. So now he just kills people for money, while hiding his face in a gas mask. One day, however, he was captured in Forune's Burrow. He had no real powers, so what could he do? Though, they shouldn't have ticked him off so much. They'll pay for that!

Quincy:*wakes up in a cage* "Who are you?"
???: "Everybody in Smuggler's Den calls me Explosive Johnny, because I like to explode stuff! And you are my next target, you weirdo! I'll be taking that mask you're wearing now."
Quincy:"You really want to do that?"
Explosive Jonny: "Yup." *takes mask off Quincy* "Ew, what in banana's name are you?!"
Quincy: "A demon."
Explosive Johnny: *taunts Quincy for a few minutes*
Quincy: *gets angry, flames igniting on his entire body* "SHUT UP!!!" *cracks Explosive Johnny's head in two, and eats brain* *grows horns on his head* "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" *wheeze* *cough* *falls asleep* *starts crying, and says "Why am I an abomination? Why did it have to be me?"* *sob*


Of course, Quincy knew why he was born a skinless demon, but that's a story for another time.

The town of Koerbrochyve Vnitiev was somewhat calm as Aiya soared into town square. The old milkman went along on his usual route, so long as the nearby Scholds boys don't pelt him with something first. Movers Fabio and Fabiligi were seen yet again dropping a rather large and expensive piece of furniture- that'd be the 8th time this week. And Ms. Tibbits, always in a joyous mood, was moseying about her storefront, attending to her precious prize-winning dasies. Just another boring day in the old, boring square. After her brief surveilence, and retracting her wings, Aiya made her way towards church, knowing too well that Father Josef was in the middle of a sermon at this time...
"И это - с Богом, благословлять быть его названием, это-"
"Hello, Father!!" Aiya exclaimed, barging through the front doors. This shout startled the rather-large pastor, causing him to accidentally hurl the kneeler he was using towards Aiya's direction, though missing her by a large margin.
'Oi-Vey, Aiya!" Josef gasped, calming himself down, "That's the third time this week!!"
"Second, if I'm mistaken," Aiya sweetly responded, giggling to herself a little.
"No, not that!" Josef restated, "I mean the wall!! Third hole this week!!"
Confused, Aiya looked back at the front wall, now noticing the two large holes that Josef made earlier, crudely patched up with boards and nails. The third, and most recent, revealed a sweepign view of the surrounding Himalayas, albeit to Josef's distaste.
"Oh..." Aiya mumbled, then quickly veering off to another subject, "So! Anything for me to do?"
"Aiya, my little flower," Josef sighed, walking forward and placing his large hand on Aiya's shoulder, "When will you settle down? You know I won't always have a job in wait, and I-"
"And..." Aiya interrupted, giving Father Josef "the look".
Josef struggled to continue with his rambling about faith and life, seemingly deadlocked with Aiya's glare. Submitting to his adversary, Josef reluctantly pulls out a letter from his robes, and hands it to Aiya.
"Now this letter is important," Josef spoke, in a deep, serious tone, "Highly confidential. You are to NOT read, write on, spit on, chew, rip, or, ugggh... urinate on it. Understaaaand?"
"Oh puh-lease, calm down," Aiya responded, "... that was only once. And besides, it'll be safe with me!"
"Just making sure," Josef replied, "Now go. Before builder man gets in here and chews my robe out."
"Yes sir!" Aiya enthusiastically replied, saluting Josef. As she makes her way towards the door, Josef suddenly realizes something, and bolts towards her as she's about to take off.
"Aiya!" Josef exclaimed, "Almost forgot!!"
Aiya stopped in her tracks as Josef went to kneal down to her level. Reaching into his robe, he pulls out an old, wooden rosary, pressing it into Aiya's palm.
"Sigh, is this really necessary?" Aiya moaned, rolling her eyes.
"It'll keep you safe on your journey," Josef stated, "Now bow your head for a blessing."
Aiya bows her head, with Josef laying his hand upon her and mumbling words in Russian. After all is said and done, Josef embraces Aiya, squeezing her in his bear-like grip.
"Be safe, my flower," Josef spoke, letting go of Aiya.
"Don't worry about THAT," Aiya coldly replied, stretching her back from the vice-like squeeze, "I know what I'm doing."
And with that, Aiya ran to the edge of the floating village, and was off into the air once more, unsure of where this task will take her.
"May God's speed be with her," Josef coldly mumbled to himself, heading back into the chapel.		2011-01-02 23:53:00

Dear Diary,

Day 3

I want to go home! Shui is a complete jerk, and I haven't seen Lucy since we met. It seems like no-one notices me, and the only time Shui ever talks to me is when I'm doing something wrong. I miss playing LittleBigPlanet with my friends, I miss my sister always annoying me, I miss my mom's cooking, I miss my dad. I wish he was still alive.

Thomas: *sigh*
Shui: Hello Thomas.
Thomas: WHOWHATWHENWHEREWHY. *turns around to see Shui* You really need to stop peeking over my shoulder when I write in my diary.
Shui: Well, I just wanted you to know that one day, you will return to your home. It may take a while, and when you return all of your family might have forgotten about you or died, but still, you won't be here forever.
Thomas: That's reassuring.
Shui: *smiles*
Thomas: *notices a trapdoor in the floor* Hey, what's that?
Shui: Nothing you should worry about. If I were you, I would steer clear of it. *walks away*
Thomas: *stares at the trapdoor* Meh, why not. *opens it*
Thomas: Should I...?
????: Yes. *pushes Thomas in*
Thomas:* falling* FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-		2011-01-02 23:56:00

((Tomeh and Rock, our characters might meet sometime in the future...))

As Hyde landed, he rolled his heels in order to prevent his ankles from breaking. The impact gave him a bit of a shock, though. To his left, there were torches lined on either side of the long stone hallway. He got up and waltzed towards the torches.

As he neared the gate leading into Fortune's burrow, he was stopped by a man in a farmer's cap. He was chewing on a toothpick.

"Hey, eh, what's you're business here?" he sneered.

"None of your business." Hyde bluntly said.

"Eh? And what if it ismy "business"?" He replied.

"Then..." Hyde quickly drew the flagpole and swung it out in front of him. The man was quick enough to jump back, his knee getting hit by the knob of the pole. Hyde quickly advanced on him as the man drew a 9mm. The man fired, the shot bouncing of Hyde's flagpole. Hyde slid towards the man and swept him off his feet. Hyde jumped and swung the flagpole down, only to hit the ground. The man rolled out of the way and aimed at him. Hyde grabbed his pickaxe and threw it at the man as he fired, the bullet only grazing his outstretched hand. The man froze in shock as the pickaxe punctured his chestl. He fell onto the ground, dead.

He looted his 9mm pistol and stuck it into his cargo pants pocket. Hyde dragged his body to a corner of the cavern, out of sight. He pulled the pickaxe out his ribs and wiped it clean with the squatter's clothes. He looked ahead at the long hallway ahead of him.

"Well," he said to himself. "Im getting closer." And walked on.		2011-01-03 00:16:00

Luckily for Quincy, Johnny had a spare key for the cell in his pocket. So after a few minutes of self loathing, Quincy unlocked the cell door and decided to explore Fortune's Burrow, quickly remembering to put on his mask so nobody could see his ugly face. After a few minutes of walking through the city, a crying boy with only one eye approached him, and this happened:

Quincy:"Hi there kid. Where are your parents?"
???: *sob* "My parents left me for dead in the streets!" *sob*
Quincy:"Now why would they do that?!"
???: *tear* "DID YOU NOT SEE MY ONE EYEBALL?!"
Quincy:"You're not the only one with problems, kid." *sits on bench*
???: *sniff* "What's your problem?"
Quincy: "I'd rather not-"
???: *lifts up Quincy's mask* *puts it back down slowly* "...oh. So what problem do you have?"

Quincy explained everything. Before he was born, Quincy's father, James, had made a deal with the Devil. He asked the Devil to "make my son do great things, and for him not to be as useless as my other children." Unfortunately, you have to watch what you say around D (the Devil). D said "If that is to happen, then there must be a consequence! Your son shall become one of my kind! He shall be a demonic beast!" That night, James reflected upon this, and whether it was right to curse his unborn son. When he was born, Quincy had no skin on his head. Quincy mother, Annabelle, asked how that could have happened. James explained the deal he made with D. Quincy had to wear a mask everywhere ever since. All James could find was his old military gas mask. Quincy wore it ever since to remind him of his mission: Kill D and James.

Quincy:And that's why I'm trying to find my father. To kill him.
???: "Wow, now I feel really sorry for you. Maybe we could team up, you know, to find and kill our parents. I may not have the best depth perception, but luckily, before I mutated-"
Quincy: "You're a mutant? What happened to you?"

The little kid's story was this: His father was a top soldier in the army. He trained his son to the teeth about fighting and combat. That was, until the father threw him into his military base's toxic waste bin because he had hurt his father. Amazingly, the kid survived, coming out with only one big eyeball on his head. But his parents hated him and kicked him out when he was 16. Quincy showed up about 15 minutes after.

???: "And that's why I'm out to kill my parents."
Quincy: "Woah... turns out we're not that different after all. Sure, I'll help you. Oh! I never caught your name."
???: "My parents just called me Fist."
Quincy:"How about I call you Ben? How's that sound?"
Ben: "Sure!"

And the two forged on ahead.

(( well, guess it is my turn, I am Erza.))

Erza looked down at the bottle in his hand, taking another sip as he waited in the neon club of Yokosaki. He had been waiting there the whole day, the bartender giving him a menacing look the entire time as he made 1 drink last all day, his black hoodie and white jacket not helping the matter. Fact was that he was right to be suspicous, Erza was a hunter, taking his first job in Yokosaki. The bandits and corrupt politicians of Fortune's Burrow making easy targets, but here, there are guards and security cameras everywhere, not to mention it's one hell of a time actually getting into the city, Erza had to leave all most all of his suppliese except for his wallet, and a few pills claimed to be his 'perscription drugs'. They were really poison pills, as it's the only way to actually kill someone in this city without drawing too much suspicion.

In Fortune's Burrow, Erza could easily find information on his target, all he had to do was ask around a few bars, or just search town records, but in Yokosaki, any action was deemed suspicious if you were caught, and information was hard to dig up, and the fact his target was Joram McRae, one of the richest guys in Skye, didn't make it any easier. The only tip he got was that he was spotted at this Club once 2 weeks ago, and another time before that, which made Erza's job, nothing but days of waiting.

Thomas walked out of the building to see a bunch of strange things. A hideous beast with Thomas guessed his son, a man with a dieing cigar in his mouth, being pushed forward by a mysterious man, a crazy looking miner, and more.

Thomas: Maybe I should turn ba- *bag flies over head* SON OF A BI-
???: SSSH.
Thomas: ...Lucy?
Lucy: Thomas?!
Thomas: I take it you were trying to get someone else, and I should not know about this. Please don't kill me.
Lucy: *takes off bag* What are you doing here?
Thomas: Ummm ... the trapdoor.
Lucy: You went down it?!
Thomas: More like...pushed.
Lucy: *slams Thomas against a wall* WHAT did you see?
Thomas: Uummm...umm....nothing?
Lucy: I seem like a weak 14 year old girl, and I managed to slam you against a wall, and you're not that skinny. You sure you want to mess with me?
Thomas: Some prophecy thing. Nothing special...?
Lucy: NOTHING SPECIAL? Where's the stone?
Thomas: ...in the room with the prophecy.
Lucy: Oh crud. Show me it, now.
Thomas: *leads Lucy to the room*
Thomas: There it...WHERE DID IT GO?
Lucy: *swears a storm*
Lucy: Thomas, could you come here?
Thomas: *walks up to Lucy* Ummm...hi.
Lucy: *smacks Thomas on the side of the head*
Thomas: OW!
Lucy: That's for being stupid. Shui won't be pleased. My cover has been blown, and the stone has been lost. Good job, dumb butt.

Hyde quickly jumped back and swung his pole at the mutated crab. There was a crack, and the crab went limp. He continued walking along the tunnel.

---

In the distance, he saw a gate with a crude wooden plank at the top of the arch. As he got closer, he could make out the words "Fortune's Burrow" scrawled on the plank.

He'd finally reached it. The fabled Fortune's Burrow. Thugs, looters... and treasure.
He walked up to the gate when he was stopped by another guard. He was wearing an obvious stolen roman helmet, and he wielded a spear.

"Hey, hold up. In order to gain entry into Fortune's Burrow, you have to pay a toll." he said.

"Yeah? Under whose command?"

"Frankie. He needs all citizens not born in here to pay the toll in order to gain entry."

Frankie... hes that gambler guy that owns the city...

"Fine. Heres your toll." Hyde quickly dropped a bag of coins in the guard's hand and pushed through the gate, running down the path to Fortune's burrow.

"Wow, bigger than what I would've told him, but-" The guard opened the back to find that the bag was filled with rocks. He emptied the whole bag only to find the only differing object in it was a colored feather.		2011-01-03 01:23:00

Thomas: Ummm...the st-
Lucy: His wallet.
Shui: I guess that's his own fault. That can be considered his punishment.
Thomas: *climbing the ladder* Punishmet? Your not my father!
Shui: I'm the closest thing you'll get to a parent for a while kid.
Thomas: *grumble*
Lucy: I'm going to stay down here. I have some unfinished business.
Shui: I see, well good luck Lucy.
Thomas: *reaches top of ladder* Thanks.
Shui: *smacks Thomas on the head* YOU LOST THE STONE?
Thomas: OW! Yes, yes I did! OW!
Shui: I take it you saw the prophecy?
Thomas: Yes. It said I'm the chosen one.
Shui: I figured such. Come, we have much to do.

((Sorry I'm late to the party. Can't get a lot of computer access on Sundays.))

Griffyn was in a state of unbroken serenity. He couldn't distinguish where he was, all he knew is that this place was warm. As the floor beneath him began to crumble, his insticts were unnervingly calm. This place was far too tranquil to cause any alarm. He felt safe.

And then he woke up.

Slowly fluttering his eyes open, his grip on reality tightened. He was in his bed, in his drafty and small house. Slept in again. He reached for his hat; one of his only possessions, and source of comfort. He took a deep breath of dissapointment, and set out.

Looking up at the sky, er, ground of Fortune's Burrow always formed a pit in the bottom of his stomach. Something about living underground had always left him feeling uneasy.

Life in the city of thieves and smugglers felt like a broken record. But somehow, as he wandered the streets, he was overcome by the feeling today was going to be different.

Somehow.		2011-01-03 02:24:00

Quincy met Ben back at his parent's house.

Quincy: *whisper* "We should be quiet, so as not to attract attention."
Ben: *whisper* "Why?"
Quincy: *whisper* "Have you not seen what the guards do to murderers in Fortunes Burrow?!"
Ben: *whisper* "What do they do?"
Quincy: *whisper* "You don't want to know!"

Quincy and Ben snuck in, waiting for the kill. Turns out it was too late. The house was covered in the blood of Ben's parents. Ben immediately started crying.

Ben: "SON OF A -----, WHO THE ---- GOT HERE BEFORE US?! ---- IT!!!"
Quincy: "Quiet, Ben! People are getting suspicious!"
Ben: "Wait, there's a note here..." *reads note* "OH ----, WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!!"
Quincy: "What, what does the note say?!"
Ben: "The note says: Thanks for falling for my trap, Ben. Sincerely, Explosive Johnny!"
Quincy: "But I thought I... do you hear that ticking noise?" *checks source of noise* "OH SHI-"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Quincy: *gets up from under rubble* "Hey, Ben you ok? Ben? Ben, speak to me!" *checks Ben's pulse* "SON OF A -----!!!!! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BEN?!?!"

Suddenly, out of nowhere, 20 guards surrounded Quincy.

Quincy: Wait, this isn't what it looks like!"
Guard 1: "The penalty for murder is death! Prepare to be eliminated!"



Quincy ran the fastest he could to the front gate of Fortune's Burrow. There, he bumped into a man with a pole named Hyde. The force of the bump caused Quincy's mask to fall off.

Hyde: "Hey, watch where you're- EEWWW, look at your face!"
Quincy: "Whatever, I gotta get going!" *puts mask back on*
Hyde: "Watch where you're going next time, you jerk!"

Quincy decided the only logical thing to do was head up, so he dug a hole to the surface.

The guards approached Hyde.
Guard 1: "Where did this man go?" *shows Quincy's wanted poster*
Hyde: "He went that-a-way!" *points up*
Guard 1: "Looks like we lost him then. Nobody can survive anything on the surface."

Quincy headed up, hoping to find peace. He found anything but peace.

Dear Diary,

Day 6

The dojo was attacked. Those who survived ran into Fortune's Burrow, but due to the shock they just went through they were easily over-run by the thieves and murderers that inhabit the place. The only other person I know who made it out alive is Lucy. The attackers seemed to be wearing strange robes, and the biggest one held that glowing stone (from Mars). They were probably Saviors. I...I don't know what I'm going to do from here.

2 DAYS EARLIER

Shui: That is why you must resist! You cannot let Skye perish!
Thomas: You just gave me a whole speech to tell me to not kill myself?
Shui: They can be very convincing.
Thomas: Who can be very convincing?
Shui: *sigh* Were you not paying attention at all?
Thomas: To be honest, I fell asleep halfway through.
Shui: *grumble* The Saviors. They claim that they are saving Skye, sending it back to where it came, which is rumoured to be a paradise. But how can a world full of fire and death be a PARADISE?
Thomas: Every person has their own version of paradise I guess.
Shui: I think that's the only smart thing I've heard you say.
Thomas: I have my moments.
Lucy: Master Shui, we have a problem.
Shui: I'll be there in a second. Thomas, stay here. *leaves room with Lucy*
Thomas: Pfft, not a chance. *begins to explore the room ((Shui's bedroom))*
Thomas: I wonder what's in that chest of his. *opens chest*
Thomas: Clothes...family photos...strange stone tablet...underwear...bra?
Thomas: Nothing int...wait, a stone tablet? *picks up tablet*
Thomas: 'The green stone...unreadable words....more unreadable words...god he should have taken better care of this thing. Hmm...COW... Wait, does that say key?
Thomas: The green stone...key...COW. What do cows have to do with this?
Thomas: *hears footsteps*
Thomas: Oh no no *jams tablet back into chest*
Thomas: Oooh, his wallet. *puts wallet in pocket* *closes chest* *runs back to chair he was sitting in*
Shui: *walks into room looking troubled* Thomas, I have work to do. Please return to your room, we will continue training tomorrow.
Thomas: Telling me not to kill myself is training?
Shui: Yes, yes it is.		2011-01-03 02:50:00

The doors to the building were opened by 2 body guards. They stared at Jakz for a while. As Jakz and the Info Dealer walked in they were greeted by a man.

Man - "Is this...?"
Info Dealer - "Yup. This is the kid."
Man - "Kid, do you have any idea why I brought you here?"
Jakz - "N-no."
Man - "No what?"
Jakz - "No sir."

The Info Dealer left. Feeling slightly less traumatized Jakz looked around the room. The building was a mix between a mansion, and a casino. There were people everywhere swearing because they lost, and drinking booze. The building still had that home-like feel to it though. The man brought Jakz to the basement. There was a large door.

Man - "Before we enter, let me introduce myself. I am Josel. And you are...?"
Jakz - "I'm Jakz sir."
Josel - "Well that's all settled. Let's enter."

To Jakz surprise, the room behind the door was an armoury.

Josel - "Choose your weapons."

Jakz took two sickles as weapons. He found them light and effective.

Josel - "Your training starts tomorrow. The first thing we'll do is give you a taste for blood."
Jakz - "A taste for blood, sir?"
Josel - "Do not question me."
Jakz - "Yes, sir."
Josel - "One of the slaves will show you to your room."

A slave came and showed Josel his room. It was a nice room with a double bed. Jakz lay in his bed thinking.

Jakz - "I wonder what he meant by 'a taste for blood'"		2011-01-03 02:56:00

((I feel left out, all of you guys are in Fortune's Burrow, and i'm all lonely in Yokosaki, :'( ))

((okay, here's something to make you feel loved!))

Quincy got to the surface of the mountain Fortune's Burrow had hidden in. The entire surface was covered in smog from all the industry in Fortune's Burrow itself. Quincy walked through the smog, until he realized he had steeped nearly one inch off of the mountain. He reached for the edge and pulled himself up. He had remembered that his gas mask had a built in light, so he turned it on.

Quincy: "Hello? Anybody out there?"

Nothing. Quincy went on with trepidation. Nothing could live out here. Just as he finished his thought, a man grabbed his arm and attempted to bite Quincy. Quincy quickly threw the man off and shot him with his pistol. The man, now clearly seen, was not a man at all! He was a zombie! And many, many more started to chase after Quincy! Just as Quincy thought this was it, he fell off of the mountain and into the sky.
Quincy tried everything, but nothing worked. He thought it was the end. Just as he closed his eyes, he felt himself go slower and slower, finally stopping. He was confused. Suddenly, he turned his head around and noticed what looked like wings! Apparently, that came with the curse as well.
After a few minutes of getting used to them, Quincy flew off to Yokosaki, where he knew a hitman that might know where his father is. Unfortunately, this hitman needed some kind of profit for information. Quincy then remembered the diamond he had found on his way out of Fortune's Burrow.

He flew onto the entrance walkway, approaching what looked to be a sentinel.

Sentinel: "State your name please."
Quincy: "My names Quincy, and I have buisness to take care of."
Sentinel: "State your buisness here in Yokosaki."
Quincy: "I need to kill somebody." (Oops! Why did I have to say that?!)
Sentinel: "No crime commiting on the premises!"
Quincy: "How about if I give you this?" *shows diamond*
Sentinel: *wide-eyed* "ooOOOOOH! I'll take it!" *swipes diamond from Quincy*
Quincy: "So, about me getting into the city..."
Sentinel: "Yeah, you can go." *glaring at diamod*

Quincy walked in scot-free. The sentinel, however, was duped. Quincy had the real diamond in his pocket, while the sentinel was holding a diamond-shaped hard candy that Quincy had bought from a gift shop in Fortune's Burrow. How did he find out? When the sentinel bit on it to test its strength, it crumbled into little pieces.		2011-01-03 03:40:00

((I feel slightly less lonely, heres a my post.))

It's been 3 days, and still, no one has showed up yet, Erza was about to give up and go back to the apartment he was staying at, but stopped himself at the door as he had promised to see this mission through, the money from this kill would be enough for him to buy a condo in the Yokosaki suburbs, something few people in Skye can actually afford in the current time.

Erza had moved from location, to location in the club to try and avoid suspicion, and had managed to for the past 3 days, but someone had finally ratted him out. a young teenager and a few friends he had seen a few days before noticed him leaning on the wall by the door as they left. They told one of the guards, and he aproached Erza with no expression on his face.
"Sorry sir, but i'm going to have to ask you to leave"
Erza only gave a simple nod as he escorted himself from the building, and looked down at his watch.
11:49 Place was about to close anyways, have to get a new outfit and head back tomorrow, c'mon Erza, remember what you're doing this for.
He had to keep reminding himself how much he was getting payed for this job, considering who he was working for.		2011-01-03 03:54:00

((I'll add location descriptions after I get this posted))


The warm trade winds gave comfort to Aiya, giving her a sense of belonging somewhere for once... even more so than that tiny village she called home...
Curious, Aiya carefully moves her arm towards her jacket pocket, so as to not disturb her glide. Grasping the letter, she slowly moves both hands into her view, as she squints at the fluttering letter in her hands. The ink writing started to smear as her fingers struggled to grasp the envelope.
"Yo... ko... sa... ki...", she struggled to read, just before hitting a crosswind. The immediate gust of cold air struck Aiya by surprise, making her lose grasp of her letter. The note started to flutter downwards, heading into a floating set of ruins only known as the "Gentleman's Stones", due to their unusual square shapes. Aiya immediately throws herself into a dive, heeding towards the piece of paper. Flying faster, and faster. Breaking 60, breaking 70. Breaking 80. Then- WHOOSH! The paper gets picked up by an updraft hurling it upwards and past Aiya.
"Ooooh, get back here!!" Aiya whined, struggling to change directions as she soars towards the updraft. Back on track, Aiya flies higher and faster, making headwind towards wherever her letter may be. Higher she flies, she flies!, towards the square that laid up ahead. Nearing her destination, she quickly throws herself in a backflip, slowing her velocity to that of a crawl and landing herself on the edge of the floating slab. But where was the paper? Where was that en-
"Lookin' for somethin', missy?" a voice called out, startling Aiya as she retracts her wings.
"And lemme guess..." Aiya sneered back, crossing her arms and staring at the lad in front of her, "You have what I'm lookin' for..."
"Smart guess," the guy called back, snickering a little, "But are you sure this is yours?"
"Is there anyone else around here looking for a piece of paper?" Aiya stated, giving the lad "the look".
The guy looked around, as though lost for the words of a witty comeback. Not surprisingly, there was no other people looking for a piece of paper. There was no one else, period.
"Erm, that's true..." the boy shrugged, scratching the back of his head, "... but that doesn't mean I can't have fun while havin' it."
Suddenly, the boy jumps off the edge of the square, shocking Aiya as she makes for the edge. Peering over, it's revealed that a 3-dimensional maze of floating islands layed before her, eventually spotting the boy in a bush just below her.
"How's about a race, missy?" the guy taunted back, "Since yah want it soo badly?"
"Let's hope you can run fast, then," Aiya wittingly responded, unfolding her wings and making a dive towards the lad.
The chase was on.		2011-01-03 03:57:00

Nova was walking down Gamma street when it happened. A monstrous truck came barreling down the intersecting lane, bullets from the turret in the back flying every where. They were obviously trying to break through the dome. This was only the third attempt that month, but they were getting more and more frequent, and the casualties started stacking up higher and higher. Trapped in the dome, the lower end of the city was destroying itself, with corruption and poverty running rampant. Nova ran into closet store until the truck had gone by. A police helicopter appeared above, raining bullets down onto truck like a mechanical bird of prey. Nova hurried around the corner to see how this attempt would turn out. All of the other hopefuls had been destroyed by the hidden mines, activated when the police were notified of an escape attempt. The truck grew closer and closer to the wall, seemingly dodging the underground mines. The truck struck the metal gate, with a fiery explosion unlike any other. Another escape attempt crushed by the ominous dome. Nova ran to inspect the wreckage, as every other pedestrian in the down town area were likely to. Nova ran towards the truck, but noticed something about the gatel behind it. He inspected it closely, and noticed a tiny hole in the corner of the gate. He excitedly put his eye up to the gate, and could see the beautiful world that lay outside the dome. He quickly backed away from the gate, hoping no one had seen him. He had not been noticed, and breathed a sigh of relief. He resolved to break out of the dome, no matter what the cost.

Character Name: Quincy McFail
Place of Origin: Oahu

Age: 27

Visual Description:
Clothes: Long trench coat, gas mask, army boots, gloves
Physical: Red eyes, skinless

Bio: Quincy was born a skinless demon, who, after a few "incidents", was exiled out of his village and, eventually, off of the island itself. He now roams the earth, hoping to get revenge on his father for making that deal with the devil that made him the abomination he is now. He has a girlfriend, Jenkins, in Yokosaki.






Quincy had entered a neon-lit club that he knew held the certain hitman that might tell im his father's location. She was an expert on info.

Quincy: "Jenkins? Is that you?"
Jenkins: "Quincy?! Is that really you?!"
Quincy: "How you doin' Jenkins?"
Jenkins: "I'm doing fine! I missed you, my lovely!"
Quincy: "Do you know where my dad might be?"
Jenkins: "How about we talk somewhere more... private?"

So Quincy and Jenkins headed to Jenkins apartment in the suburbs. They talked all night. Quincy found out that his father was hidden on a ship called the MIRACLE WORKER. He felt mad at himself that he wasn't able to visit his hitwoman girlfriend (or hit-girl) for so long. So they decided to have a little love session (Bow chicka bow wow!). After that, while still in bed, this happened:

Quincy: "Wow.... that.. was.. AWESOME!!
Jenkins: "What can I say, I've learned things."
Quincy: "So, I better ge-"
Jenkins: *pulls out pistol and takes off safety*
Quincy: "What are you-"

BANG!

Quincy was sent to Hell after dying from that shot to the head. He couldn't believe Jenkins would betray him. Now how does he get out of Hell? Stay tuned!		2011-01-03 04:52:00

Character Name: Ethon
Place of Origin: Yokosaki
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Visual Description: Basically something like this. (http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/5/87092.jpg)
Bio: An Ex-Military Soldier. He quit the Military after finding out what sort of experiments the Military has been doing on all of their Soldiers.
The truth about the Yokosaki Military (Known as the Yokosaki Peacekeeping Military, or Y.P.M.) is that all of their soldiers are Humanoids. The Military has made false families and implanted false memories into the Humanoids to help them have a sense of right and wrong.
The head of the Yokosaki Peacekeeping Military (Major General Yoko Yamaoka) hired a well known Assassin, by the name of Quincy, to knock out Ethon and bring him back to the Military base, where they extracted every trace Ethon had about the Humaoid Soldiers, and everything else Military related, from his memory.
Ethon lives his life as a Humanoid that doesn't know what he truely is, but still manages to have a somewhat normal life, besides the fact that the Y.P.M. is keeping a close eye on him at all times.

Thomas: That makes me feel safe.

Thomas: ....huh?!

TEN MINUTES LATER

Thomas: *jumps into hole*
Old Man: *shuts trapdoor then locks it*
Thomas: *takes out diary*
Old Man: What's that?
Thomas: Diary.
Old Man: Uh-huh.

Dear Diary,

Day 6

The dojo was attacked. Those who survived ran into Fortune's Burrow, but due to the shock they just went through they were easily over-run by the thieves and murderers that inhabit the place. The only other person I know who made it out alive is Lucy. The attackers seemed to be wearing strange robes, and the biggest one held that glowing stone (from Mars). They were probably Saviors. I...I don't know what I'm going to do from here.

Thomas: *sighs*

Right now I'm in some sort of basement with this old man. He saved me from cannibals. Seeing the ruins of some town as my only hope for shelter, I went there. Turns out cannibals lived in it. Without him, I would probably be dead.

(Ethon is asleep, having weird visions that come and go in blurs, each vision is face paced, the visions jump from one to another, voices fade in and out and become distorted. Ethon trembles in his bed, and speaks what he says in his dream aloud.)

(Inside the Major General Akira's office. Standing on the other side of a semi-large table, pounding his fist in anger towards the Major General.)
Ethon: You can't do this! These people, these things, us, we, should know what we are! Every soldier in this facility is a Humanoid! I'm the only one that knows this! Why did the Military do this in the first place?!

(-Vision skips-)

(Ethon is walking down a street at night thinking to himself while walking at an angered pace.)
Ethon: I need to tell the rest of the Soldiers what's really going on, they need to know the truth! What the? Who are you? Hey! Get back! I have a gu-


(-Vision skips-)

(Ethon is in a containment pod, with an oxygen mask on and is in a coma-like state. Everything is dark.)
? ? ?: Is every trace of what he has discovered out of his mind?
Soldier: Yes, Major General Yoko Yamaoaka!
Major General Yoko Yamaoaka: Good. That is all Soldier.

(Ethon's mind goes blank. He wakes up moments after with a confused look on his face.)

Ethon: I was dreaming? It felt so. . .real. . .

(Ethon got out of bed and changed into casual attire (Worn jeans, teal shoes and a white shirt.) and made himself breakfast. After eating, he walked outside his Condo and closed the door behind him.)

Quincy knew Jenkins all his life. They met in Yokosaki when he was 16, and she 16 as well. Jenkins was and is still a professional hitwoman, but he didn't mind, though she never told him who she worked for. Jenkins proposed to Quincy when they both turned 26. They got married in Yokosaki, right in the same neon-lit bar where they had met so long ago. Unfortunately, as they were standing at the altar, the YPM intruded with a tear gas grenade, which caused the event of being knocked out and locked in that cage with Explosive Johnny about to blow him up. Ever since then, he hadn't heard from her, until that fateful night in the bar, and at her apartment. Quincy reflected upon that. Was Jenkins hired by the YPM? Why would they disrupt a wedding unless there was a reason? Why did she kill him? Going back to what seemed to be Hell, Quincy went up to a clown demon by the Rusted Gates in the hopes that he would be sent back for another chance.

Notta chance.

Quincy: "Hi, I don't belong here."
Clown: "Yeah, well I wanna eat a banana. But you can't just get instant gratification now, can you?" *sigh* "What's your name?"
Quincy: "Quincy."
Clown: *wide-eyed* "Hey, boss, Quincy's here!"
???: "Move outta the way so I- IT IS QUINCY!"
Quincy: "What am I, famous in Hell now?"
D: "Do you not recognize me, Q? It's me, D!"
Quincy: *brings out real diamond*
D: "If you're trying to bribe me, then I'll take it. In fact, whenever you die, you can hang out here, or go back. In fact, I'll let you do that whenever you want, SON!"
Quincy: "What did you just call me?"
D: "nothing."

Quincy headed back up to his body in Yokosaki. Apparently, time goes by slower in Hell. As he awoke, he found himself in a bodybag. He could hear Jenkins on her phone.

Jenkins: "Don't worry Frankie, I've covered up the body."
Frankie: "You better have! I don't want Quincy going anywhere near his father!"
Jenkins: "What is so important about his father?!"
Frankie: "You don't need to ask your employer that now do you?!"
Jenkins: *sigh* "Sorry sir."
Frankie: "Good. You're my top assassin, so don't screw this up!"
Jenkins: "OK! Jeez!" *hangs up phone and goes over to Quincy's bodybag* *sob* "I'm sorry it had to end like this, Quincy. If you can still hear me, I want you to know... I love you." *loads bodybag into a truck, and the truck drives away with her still weeping*


Quincy waited 3 hours before finally digging himself out of his grave. He found himself in, what appeared to be, India. Yup, it was definetely India. But he had to do something. He went up to a payphone and called Jenkins' cell.

Jenkins: "Hello, Jenkins speaking."
Quincy: "You thought you could get rid of me that easy, my lovely?"
Jenkins: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!"		2011-01-03 06:31:00

(( You're right, let me get Quincy back to Yokosaki quickly and then it's off to bed for me))

After spending countless tiring hours flying back to Yokosaki, Quincy finally gave up and just let himself drop for a few seconds. That is, until Yokosaki appeared before him. He quickly flew onto the entrance platform snuck past the sentinel guarding it with only one thing in mind: getting to Frankie "Frank" McFallen through Jenkins.		2011-01-03 07:15:00

Erza walked into his apartment in downtown Yokosaki, the neon lights and signs portruding through the large window in the back of the room. He removed his hood, and walked into the kitchen to find a large green case waiting for him, with a note on top.

He lives at 43 Ronin lane, don't screw this up.
-Micheal

Micheal McRae, his employer, also the son of his target. Erza had no idea why he wanted him to kill his father, but he didn't deny that he was getting payed top dollar for it, $250,000 to be exact.

Erza opened the case to find the parts of a sniper rifle, and a Desert Eagle, and ammo for both.

Well, that makes my job easier, and harder at the same time.		2011-01-03 12:34:00

Hyde walked into the local general store when something caught his attention. The shopkeep slyly noticed him and waltzed over to him to haggle.

"I see you've got 'a good eye for merchandise!" he said with an gruff, Irish accent.

He scrutinized the golden sword he came in here to look for.

"This is an old-world gold sort, long, powerful, but light. How much you hankerin'for it?"

"Um... how about a trade?" Hyde said.

"Hoo, trading eh? Fine fine, whatcha got?"

Hyde took out his pickaxe.

"This Iron pickaxe. But its not just any Iron. If you look closely..." The merchant leaned close to the pickaxe. Hyde quickly pushed down with his right hand, the pick's head making contact with the merchant, knocking him out. He grabbed the golden sword and slung it onto his back. Grabbing the body, he put him on a chair with a magazine on his lap.

"There we go." Hyde said.
He noticed there was a bloody spot on his chin.
"Crap." He quickly looked around for something to cover up the wound. He peered into the backdoor of the shop. He looked through the medical supplies.

"Bingo."
He picked up a surgical mask, just as he'd suspected. he wrapped it around his ears to cover up with wound. He noticed a window to the left of the store. He sneaked out the window, leaving a feather on the sill.		2011-01-03 15:06:00

((Thought I should let you guys know I'm converting all of this role-playing we're doing into a book. The book won't be published or anything, so I won't be making money off your ideas. I must say though, it's rather hard to put Aiya's story into the book without pretty much copying and pasting what Outlaw already wrote ))2011-01-03 18:35:00

((Hey, I would love to join this as it seems like a really cool Fantasy FRPG, but I'm really struggling to follow what the hell is going on so I really have no idea where to begin. Any chance you could add a summary or a quick overview of events to the first post? Perhaps even some brief character summaries too. I ask a lot, I know. ))

((EDIT: Sorry, I seemed to have suffered from momentary blindness for a while there as you have plenty of character descriptions on the first post.))

((Phew... After some real heavy reading I think I'm starting to get a feel for the game. Would it be possible to join? I've made a profile either way so just let me know if it's cool to join and I'll start.))

((Dang, I was out for that much!))

Jakz woke up, surprised to feel comfortable. Somebody knocked on the bed to his new room.

Jakz - Come in.

A slave walked into the room.

Slave - "Hello Jakz, the master would like to see you in the armoury. Bring your new weapons. He also said to wear this.

The slave handed Jakz some light battle armour, and afterwards, the slave left. It was weird for Jakz to change clothes, he had been wearing his clothes for years. He had finally gotten dressed and went to meet Josel in the armoury.

Josel - "Hello Jakz. Before we start todays test, eat this."

Josel handed Jakz a bowl of cereal. Although a practical meal, Jakz felt like it was a gift from the Gods. Jakz gulped it down quickly and a slave took the empty bowl away.

Jakz - (Directed at Josel) "Thank you sir."
Josel - "Now, do you have your weapons?"
Jakz - (Reveals two sickles) - "Yes sir, I do."
Josel - "Follow me, the first of three tests will begin."

Josel brought Jakz to a dungeon. In the dungeon, Josel brought Jakz to one of the prison cells. It contained three people, who were hung by chains.

Josel - "Here is your first task. Kill one of them."

Jakz looked at the sickle in his right hand, then at the prisoner. Kill? Jakz had stolen, and put people unconscious, but he has never killed. Jakz approached the prisoner in the middle. He took his time making a long deep cut in the man's torso. After doing so the man screamed in pain. Jakz, realizing what he had just done stared at the blood on his sickle. The surprise and horror went away, he was now bloodthirsty. Jakz continued cutting up the dying prisoner quickly. Afterwards he killed the other two. Jakz looked back at Josel.

Josel - "Better than I expected. I thought I would have to force you to kill him. No. Instead you killed all three, when I asked for one. Great job."
Jakz - "Thank you sir."
Josel - "Now for your next task. You will need to be stealthy this time. Kill the Baker Man in the building nearby nearby. You met him, did you not?"
Jakz - (With an evil grin)"Yes, yes I have met him."

Jakz walked to the bakery and saw the Baker Man, he seemed nervous. Jakz picked the lock in the back door, a skill he learned when he was out on the streets. He came up behind the Baker Man who then turned instantly.

Baker Man - "You, you're hear to steal from me aren't you!? We..."
Jakz - "No I'm not here to steal from you..."

Jakz pulled out his two sickles, both still dripping with blood. He put the sharp point of a sickle right in front of the Baker Man's chin pointing upwards, towards the soft spot behind the jaw-line.

Jakz - "... I'm here to kill you."

He pushed upwards, piercing through the flesh. Blood came pouring down the Baker Man's head. To finish the man off he put the Baker Man's face inside the oven, turned it on highest heat, and watched him burn. Jakz smiled as he saw what was happening to the Baker Man. When Jakz knew the man was dead he left and told Josel.

Josel - "Good Job. This next task will be a bit risky, but I think you can handle it."

Jakz knew he was ready for the final test.		2011-01-03 21:09:00

Griffyn's job wasn't horribly bland; he worked in a casino. It almost broke his heart seeing all these people lose their money. Well, it would if they weren't lying, cheating thieves who stole all the cash they were gambling with.

He felt sympathy for no one. He rarely finds himself feeling any for himself. Still, the job paid for his food, and that was good enough. Even if it meant putting up with all the regular nutcases.

He slipped on his tightly-fitted, unwashed uniform. He felt ridiculous. He kept his hat on, like most days, took a deep breath, and dove into the belly of the beast.

???: Well, well, well. It's about time you showed up.

Griffyn: Good day to you too.

???: What 'ave ya got fer old Silas, then?

Griffyn: How about a breath mint?

Silas grabbed for Griffyn's throat.

Griffyn: Alright! Alright!

Silas loosened his grip.

Silas: The usual, please.

Griffyn: Yea, sure thing.

He rubbed his neck as he watched Silas waddle towards the machines.

He sat contemplating a plan to make his escape. From his job, from Fortune's Burrow; from everything. His trance was quickly disrupted when more and more customers demanded alcohol.

There must be a way.		2011-01-03 22:45:00

In order to pull of this expedition, Ill need a team. My old squad is obviously dead or lost, so Ill need to find a team in this bowl of thugs.

Hyde thought to himself as he walked through Fortune's Burrow. People stared at him as he walked through the tattered streets with his big hat and multitude of possible weapons. He noticed a casino.

Where else would I find some opportunists? He thought to himself. He pushed the door open into the casino. Bright lights and gamblers filled his vision as he strolled in. He noticed a bar with a bunch of possible alcoholics crowding it and decided to take a seat next to the crowd. Hyde saw a man with a hat busily working away to fulfill their orders, muttering remarks about them.

((Sorry it's long, but it contains both UltimateClay: Thomas And I: Jakz))

Josel - "The next task, I need you to recruit somebody. The Information Dealer told me about him, he seems skilled enough to be helpful. He's somewhere in the Danger Area of Fortune's Burrow. Be careful. Also according to the Info Dealer, the boy is going by the name of Thomas. "
Jakz - "Don't worry sir. I'll do whatever it takes, besides letting myself die."
Josel - "Good luck"

Josel motioned toward the door. Jakz went to leave.

Jakz - "I won't need luck."

Jakz left the house, head up and proud. He went to the Danger Area. Upon entering he was swarmed by Cannibals. They grunted and sniffed around him. Jakz took out his sickles.

Jakz - "Get outa here before I kill you all."

The Cannibals looked toward Jakz and growled.

Jakz - "I see how it is..."

Jakz jumped on one of the Cannibals and dug his right sickle into it's eye socket. Afterwards he swung around the Cannibal, knocking the rest back. When he stopped one tried to jump on him. Jakz defended himelf by stabing it in the chest with his left sickle. The rest bakced off and ran away. Jakz continued his search. He ended up finding a broken down building with a passageway in it. He followed the inside of the passageway and found a door at the end. He opened slowly, to not be noticed. He saw a boy and an old man. The old man was crying in a corner, while the boy was trying to fend off a Cannibal with a stick. Jakz stabbed the Cannibal in it's side and knocked it over. He then stabbed it inside the mouth and sliced up it's torso, killing it. He stood up and faced the boy, who now had his eyes closed, and was waving the stick around like an idiot. Jakz grabbed the stick to stop him. The boy opened his eyes.

Jakz - "Thomas?"
Boy - "WHOWHATWHENWHEREWHY!?"

Jakz slapped the boy.

Jakz - "Answer me."
Boy - "Yes, I am Thomas."
Jakz - "Come with me."
Thomas - "Where are we going?"
Jakz - "Shut up and come with me."

Thomas didn't want to go, but he also didn't want to stay. He reluctantly followed Jakz. Jakz brought Thomas back to Josel.

Jakz - "I got him."
Josel - "Good job. Now that your done with... Oh!"

Josel stared at the blood on Jakz's armour.

Jakz - "It's not mine."
Josel - "Okay. Anyway, I think Thomas will be able to help you with this next task.
Jakz - "Next task? I thought I was done."
Josel - "You are done your tests. Now it's time to get out of this hellhole."

Meanwhile, Thomas was walking around telling the drunk gamblers to stop swearing because it isn't very nice.

Thomas - "Sorry sir, but you shouldn't swear so much, it shows bad manners."
Drunken Gambler - "I'll [Unecessary Swearing Deleted] if I want to swear."

Jakz and Josel walked by Thomas.

Jakz - "Come with us."
Thomas - "Where to now?"
Jakz - "Shut up and come with me."

Thomas was about to stand his ground when Jakz grabbed his wrist and pulled him beside Josel.

Thomas, Jakz, and Josel arrived in the breifing room. Josel pressed a button and the screen turned on. On the screen was the picture of a bomb.

Josel - (Holding up the bomb showed in the picture)"This bomb is the key to the operation. You two will plant it in the center of Overground."
Thomas - "Overground?"
Jakz - "A building that pierces through the dirt cieling of Fortune's Burrow and to the ground on top."
Thomas - "Oh."
Josel - "Set the bomb to three minutes. This will give you time to leave the area, and live once the bomb goes off."
Thomas - "What if there are people in the area, doesn't that mean people might die?"
Josel - "Yes, but not many."
Thomas - "If people die, I won't do it."
Josel - "... Fine. I will get people to clear the area first, then you guys place the bomb."
Thomas - "Thank you."
Josel - "After the explosion we'll climb up and leave Fortune's Burrow."
Jakz - "Alright Thomas, let's do this."
Josel - "First, let's take Thomas to the armoury."

The three left towards the armoury.

Josel - "Take a weapon."
Thomas - "A weapon? Don't those harm people?"
Jakz - "And if you don't take ont, then people will harm you."
Thomas - "Oh, all right..."

Thomas went and took the least damaging thing he could find, a tazer.
Thomas and Jakz went off to set the bomb. With the area cleared it was quiet. The unusual pair set the bomb to three minutes and left. When the bomb exploded, it was time for freedom.

Jakz: *grabs Thomas's hand and pulls him up* You're not very strong, are you?
Thomas: Nope.

Jakz: Sorry Thomas, but I go my own way.
Thomas: Huh? But you said...

Thomas: But...
Jakz: *walks in the opposite direction of Josel*
Thomas: *sadface*

Dear Diary,

Day 7

A boy named Jakz saved me from a cannibal. He brought me to a strange man named Josel, who ordered me and Jakz to blow up part of 'Overground' so we can escape Fortune's Burrow. No-one was hurt though. Once we got out, Josel and Jakz went their separate ways, leaving me. I want to go home.		2011-01-03 23:48:00

3:07, why can't I get a clean kill in this dammed place?

Erza was in an attic atop a house a block away from McRae's home, with only a clear view into the kitchen. luckily the owner of the house Erza was in was no where to be found, and the streets calm with only 1 car, or a few pedestrians passing every now and then.		2011-01-03 23:55:00

Griffyn served the regulars, most already intoxicated. He noticed a newcomer among the drunks.

Griffyn: Not from around here, are ya?

He managed to shuffle across the bar to face the stranger.

Griffyn: What'll you have then?

Griffyn served him his drink. Not the drinking type?, he thought to himself. That's new. He continued to serve drinks as he spoke to the stranger.

Griffyn: So what brings you to Fortune's Burrow? Or, more specifically, here?

He took a look at the stranger, and a multitude of what looked like weapons. This didn't startle him; He'd gotten used to customers bringing in swords and the like.		2011-01-04 01:32:00

((I noticed my style of RPing is different from everyone else. Should I change it?))

"Well I love horrid looter towns as much as the next guy, but Im here for a bit more important reason." Hyde replied. He looked around the room, to make sure nobody was listening. Of course, everyone was either drunk or asleep.

"Im not very forthcoming with this kind of information. Since you look like a trustable fellow, Ill tell you some of what I have to share. Legends tell of a hidden treasure somewhere in the Fortune's Burrow's caverns. Many have tried to find it, including myself, and all have failed. The treasure links to an ancient power from long long ago that will trigger the other 2 treasures in Skye. Once all of the treasures have been triggered- well, nobody knows." Hyde told him.

"Some say you can rule Skye if youre able to complete that task. Others say that you'll destroy it. But all I know mostly, is that there are bountiful treasures throughout Skye."		2011-01-04 01:40:00

((Phew! That took longer than I expected. You'll soon see I'm no writer by any stretch of the imagination, and I'm sure some absurd anime-ish stuff will poke through soon. ^ o ^))

Spade: "Come in and sit down next to Dallas. A new assignment has come through and I need to brief you two as quickly as possible."

// Dallas is the newest member of Sekai, and the only female member amongst them. Whilst less experienced than her comrades, she was brought into the group just 3 months back after single-handedly bringing down several notorious weapons smugglers. Marco has had the pleasure of working with her on numerous ocassions and knows how useful her knowledge of tech can be, even if she is a little rough around the edges. //

As Marco takes a seat, the electronic door behind him slides shut.

Spade: "As you're both no doubt aware, Fortune's Burrow is becoming a plauge unto the entire region. It seems the lowest of scum are seeping out of it's cracks and somehow making their way into our city. It seems almost every day we're having to deal with their ilk here in Yakosaki, and it's up to Sekai to kick this trash out of our streets and back to where they came from."

Spade flicks a switch on the wall, bringing up a holographic display within the centre of the room, showing an image of a man in his thirties wearing a white jacket and plain jeans, his face masked under a black hoodie.

Spade: "Are you two familliar with essense tracing technology?"

Dallas: "E.T.T? Yes, of course. It's the latest in security tech. It has the ability to covertly detect, remember and file particular data of anyone who steps within the radius of the special invisible zoning poles we have set up around the city."

Spade: "That's correct."

Marco: "What does this have to do with the man shown here?"

Spade: "Well to put it bluntly, it seems wherever this guy turns up in Yakosaki, people die shortly after. Not just anyone either. Politicians, CEO's, mob bosses, you name it. All of them have died from what we believed were natural causes, but with these E.T.T. readings it's hard to ignore these coincedences. If this man truly is behind their deaths, he seems to have an incredibly covert method of killing and should be considered incredibly dangerous. His only folly was underestimating the power of Y.P.M. technology."

Dallas: "So you want us to bring this guy in for interrogation?"

Spade: "That's correct. The E.T.T. picked up his signature a few days ago around the Neon Sun district and he's managed to stay off the radar since then. The data tells us that he's from Fortune's Burrow and that he's carrying at least one firearm. Hopefully this image will be enough to go by to find him. There's no telling what he's up to here in Yakosaki, so we need you to investigate the Neon Sun District, locate him and bring him in ASAP."

Dallas: "You can count on us, Sir. He won't get far with me and Marco on the case."

Marco: "Right."

Spade: "That's what I like to hear. Suit up and get going you two. Good luck."

4:49, he's gotta be starving if he hasn't been in the kitchen all day, shouldn't be too much longer

Erza's attention however, drifted away to his right, as 2 soldiers in uniform, most likely Y.P.M. came into view.

Dam! Y.P.M. wait... those 2 aren't wearing standard issue Y.P.M. atire, they aren't on patrol, someone tipped them off that I was here, even their tracking systems cant pinpoint exact locations. ((I'll save who tipped you guys off for later, i've planned a lot of my storyline on it.))

He still didn't move from his vantage point, as they didn't see him yet, but something came up that may compromise Erza, Joram finally strolled into the kitchen.

It's now or never! Take the shot!

The bullet of Erza's rifle exploded out of the barrel with great speed, the silencer on the weapon hiding the flash and sound, but the round still shattering the glass and striking McRae in the heart. A true kill by a skilled marksman.

Before Erza quickly dismantled his weapon, and hid the pieces, he could see the soldiers running his way.		2011-01-04 03:14:00

(( Darn, I was going to make a long sectioning detailing how my guys find you, but such is the nature of forum RPG's... XD If you want to delve right into the action, then I'll play along. I'm interested to know the events leading up to this though, so please do that. ^_^ ))

Marco: You there! Don't move!

Marco and Dallas run right up to the suspicious man. His expression was calm and collected.

Erza: Is there a problem, Sir?

Dallas: It's definitely him, Marco.

Marco:: There's no doubt about it. You are Erza Mercury. Come with us, we have a lot to discuss.

Erza: That sounds like a bore. I think I'll have to pass.

Marco: You...

Suddenly, a scream boomed out from the window Erza shot through. It seems someone discovered the body. People were beginning to gather around the building to see what the commotion was about.

Marco: Erza!

In the brief time that Dallas and Marco's gaze was stuck on all the commotion, Erza had managed to jump onto a neon billboard and started to make his escape across the lower rooftops.

Marco: Dallas, stay here and track him using one of your aerial drones. I'll chase him on foot.

Dallas: Right!

Marco takes out his diamond knuckles and slides them onto his hands after hoisting himself onto the billboard. Dallas takes out some sort of metal cylinder from her briefcase and throws it into the air. It quickly sprouts numerous propellors and hovers in the air. She then takes out a remote control and controls the flying drone, chasing after Erza from up above.

Dallas:: This guy has no idea who he is dealing with...

Quincy ran to Jenkins' house. He only had a few minutes before.. what? What was so important. Jenkins, that's what. He headed into her house, hoping not to make noise. She wasn't home. He checked the time. 10:14 pm. He should be out in an hour. He decided to check her voicemail:

Frankie: "Hey, Jenkins, it's me, McFallen. I hope to god you get this message! Quincy somehow escaped his bodybag! His grave's empty! You'd better get your butt over to Kingsley's OR ELSE!"

The message was left 5 minutes before Quincy arrived. He had to hurry to Kingsley's. As soon as he arrived at the bar, he felt he needed a drink to calm himself down. However, he had a few drinks too many, got drunk, and blew his cover, like this:

Quincy: "JENKINS!! WHY THE F___ DID YA HAVE TO SHOOT ME?" *barf* "YOU B_____!!!"

Frankie: "HE'S HERE!! GET HIM!!!"


It was a tough fight for Quincy, he was drunk. He still won, especially with his wings. After, he knocked Jenkins to the floor:

Quincy: "WHY JENKINS?! WHY?!?!"
Jenkins: "BECAUSE YOUR FATHER WAS THERE!"
Quincy: "WHERE?!"
Jenkins: "HELL!!!"


So it was true what D said. Quincy was his son. But did Frankie know? No matter. His eyes filled with tears, Quincy shot Jenkins. Her last words were: "Goodbye, my love. If I meet you in Hell, i'll make sure.. to look.. you.. up..." Those were her last words. Frankie had dissapeared before Quincy could reach him. Her knew what he must do: Confront D. So, with trepidation, he killed himself. He hoped this was going to be the last time he would be in Hell.		2011-01-04 04:51:00

((No, it's cool, I only have a problem with the gutter thing, I was still in the sniping attic when I hid it, then casually walked out of the house, rest it good though.

So, i'm guessing that now we are on rooftops, and i'm being chased by little drones, correct? awesome.))

Erza ran as fast as he could as he entered deeper back into the neon district of Yokosaki, most lights weren't illuminated yet as it was still broad daylight. He rushed from rooftop to rooftop as he was being chased, he was gaining some distance from the officer, but not from the drones, they were still right on his tail.

I'll have to lose them somehow...

Without hesitation he jumped with less distance and crashed through a window. The drones were disoriented, but soon right back on him, He managed to pull out the pistol he had been saving to turn and fire off a few rounds at the drones, dropping 3 or 4 of them, but it wasn't enough, the officer soon followed and held his weapon to Erza's head.

"Thought you could get away didn't you?"
Erza said nothing, only held his ground and kept his weapon aimed back at him.
"No one escapes Sekai"
Think fast Erza, you can't kill him or you'll have all of Y.P.M. after you.
He looked through the window to his left, and saw the street below, a dump truck passing by filled with garbage bags.
"Hands up."
He obeyed, but didn't drop his weapon, instead using it to shoot out the window to his left and jumping the height of the tower into the small truck below.

((if you don't believe that should be possible then there was 2 matressess in the bottom of the truck, also I will reveal who tipped you off in the next post.))		2011-01-04 05:00:00

(( Haha! Very nice. Sorry about the gutter thing, I wasn't entirely sure where we were so I tried to keep it vauge. I'll go back and correct that actually as it's a pretty simple fix. By the way, the "weapon" you speak of is literally just these but made of diamond:

So it wouldn't make much sense to threaten someone with them by holding them up to them. Could still be like "Put your hands up or I will punch you" though. XD

Other than that, it was great, you wrote yourself out of that pickle well. ^_^ ))		2011-01-04 05:31:00

Quincy couldn't die. He just fell asleep. If he couldn't confront D, then it was over. He'd never see Jenkins again. He was mortified. If he couldn't confront D, then he'd do the next best thing: kill Jenkins' employer, Frankie "Frank" McFallen. He headed towards the door of Kingsley's, until he was stopped and arrested by the guards of the bar. He broke free of their armlock and flew towards the top of the glass dome of Yokosaki, shattering it as he flew through. Suddenly, he stopped mid-air and screamed at the top of his lungs:m "FRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK!!!!!!!" Quincy zoomed in the direction of Fortune's Burrow, hoping to get revenge.2011-01-04 06:34:00

Issac ran.

Everywhere he looked, he could see flaming houses and charred bodies that were scattered along the bloody streets. Vermin scurried around the ground feasting on roasted flesh. There was total choas...

???: There he is!!!

A gruff voice rang out as Issac whirled around to the sound of gunshots. Stumbling around a corner he ducked down as bullets flew past his head. He had to get out fast...but how?

Issac continued to run from the angry shouts..thoughts speeding through his head. Those raiders had attacked their town destroying everything. He was probably one of the few survivors, the rest would have been either killed or captured. His only chance was to run for the forest and try to reach the town of Fortunes Burrow.

The road ended, signaling the start of the forest. Issac quickened his pace when he felt a sharp pain in his side. He let out a sharp cry as he stumbled into a small hole. His vision began to grow blurry until all he saw was darkness.

Jakz had been walking for hours. There were still people running back and forth.

Jakz - "I've always wanted to leave... but... there's nothing... there's literally nothing.

He looked left and right hoping to see something that might show a nearby town or city. There was nothing. Jakz kept walking, then he saw a small red light, sticking up from the ground. He poked at the red light until something happened. The ground started to rumble. A rocky mass rose from the ground. It was a Human-sized, golem-like creature. ((If you can't imagine it here is a good picture (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071105054731/soulcalibur/images/d/dc/Golem.jpg), but imagine it human-sized )) An endless pool of blood was pouring in between the cracks of the rocks.

Rock Creature - "Ugh."
Jakz - "Um... um... hello?"
Rock Creature - "What is this weird fleshy thing that approaches me?"
Jakz - "M-my name is J-Jakz."
Rock Creature - "J-Jakz? Are you the one who rose me from my eternal slumber?"

Jakz noticed the creature didn't want to harm him, so he didn't have to be nervous.

Jakz - "Yes, but my name, is Jakz, not J-Jakz."
Rock Creature - "What is the name of your species, Jakz."
Jakz - "We call ourselves Humans."
Rock Creature - "Humans? You're still alive? Hmmm... I thought they were supposed to..."
Jakz - "I am sorry, but may I ask your name?"
Rock Creature - "I am Suerah. I am a lesser rock essence."
Jakz - "Well Suerah, may I leave, or is there anything else you wish to ask me?"
Seurah - "Not much else. Just one thing actually. I do not have much of a purpose right now, all the other rock essenses and even the rock God are still sleeping. May I ask to join you?"
Jakz - "Join me?"
Seurah - "I'm good in a fight, and I can lift heavy objects. Also, those puny weapons you have can't break things to well, my blunt fists can clear up areas for you."
Jakz - "All right Suerah, you may join me, but I do not have a single clue to where I will go next."
Seurah - "You said that as if I should be honored to join you. I'm not too fond of humans to be honest. I just need something to pass the time."
Jakz - "You and I alike..."

Jakz and Suerah, decided to set up camp for now, the skies grow dark, and Jakz was tired from the job he had accomplished in one day. With no bed or rags to lie on, Jakz slept on the cold hard ground.		2011-01-04 22:53:00

Erza landed back first into the dump truck, a painful landing, but nothing life crippling. He was bruised, but managed to sit up in place as he moved the garbage bags to the side, it reeked, but he had to stay hidden for a little longer. The truck trudged on through the streets of the neon district, Erza still hiding within, until something caught his attention, what sounded like a news segment turned on in a store window, it was talking about his recent assassination. He jumped out of the truck and ran to the other side of the road to catch what looked like a picture of the crime scene, with a reporter standing in front of a police line and a crowd of people.
"It happened just 10 minutes ago, Joram McRae was assassinated in his own house by a hooded culprit, soposedly going by the name 'Erza Mercury' Now, I have with me here Marco Marr, ((that is your name, right sully?)) from Y.P.M. who spotted the killer just moments after he killed McRae."
"Yes, we were going to bring him into custody, but he managed to escape our grasp, the man was described as a male in his thirties, wearing a white jacket and black hoodie, if you see this man, call the Y.P.M. so we can apprehend this criminal."
"So, officer, how did manage to be on the scene so quickly?"
"We got a tip from McRae's son who told us that he heard someone was out to get his father, we responded as fast as we could, but the criminal was highly trained, and highly dangerous, and managed to get away when he saw us coming."
HE was the one that sold me out? him? why... AAAAAARGH!
it was that moment when Erza just wanted to rip the closest person apart, he reached for his gun at first, but managed to contain himself.
Calm down now Erza, you have to get out of the city, the whole danm Y.P.M. is looking for you, safety first, revenge second.
Alright, but there's no way i'm getting out of here now, i'll have to lay low for a while.		2011-01-05 00:04:00

Quincy arrived at the front gate of Fortune's Burrow. He was mad. Apparently, he was mad enough to catch on fire. Literally. His body on fire, Quincy Zoomed toward the Founder's Hall, hoping to get revenge. Quincy headed towards the door to McFallen's office and busted it down.

Quincy: "I WILL KILL YOU!"
Frankie "Wait! I can help you!"
Quincy: "HOW?!"
Frankie: "I have a Crystal of Life!"
Quincy: "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!"


McFallen showed a blue saphire that glowed. Quincy's eyes widened. He was right. So Quincy agreed to do a few missions in Jenkins' place to trade for her life. His first mission was to do what Quincy interrupted, the YPM weapons shipment. Before he could get to the shipping yard in Yokosaki, he was arrested for murdering Jenkins. Quincy was sent to prison, but easily broke out with the help of a few criminals. Quincy was about to reach the shipping yard... but was run over by a dump truck. Since he couldn't die, he just got right up and ran there. When he reached the yard, Quincy placed the explosives on the watchtowers beside the skyboat. As soon as he got a safe distance, he set them off. BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Thomas: Wha-

Thomas: I see. Ugh..

Thomas: How so? Gaah, I got this horrible headache.

Thomas: Huh? Normally you can find cows on a farm if that is what you're asking.
Julius: No, not that kind of cow. I'm talking about the City of Wisdom, a land full of knowledge and history...
Thomas: *images of a strange city flash in his eyes* Ugghh...what did you do to me?

((Another story crossover with Jakz and Thomas))

Jakz was walking with his new companion Suerah. They didn't talk much. They walked for hours until they saw a cave.

Jakz - "Finally, something other than just flat ground with grass on it."
Suerah - "Peace always sickens me."

They went to the entrance of the cave, a giant metal door was in their way.

Jakz - "Well this isn't suspicious."

Jakz tried to open the door. The door was too heavy, and it was locked. Jakz looked at Suerah, who had been staring at the door. Suerah turned towards Jakz, and Jakz nodded. Seurah went up to the door and punched it, the door broke open from the force.

A man was standing in front of a boy, who seemed awfully familiar.

Man - "Who is this!?"
Boy - I...I don.. wait, Jakz?...is tha... you?

Jakz realized that the boy was Thomas.

Jakz - "Yeah it's me."
Man - "I don't care who you are... men, attack this intruder!"

People came out of the shadows and revealed some pistols.

Man - "The main targets the giant!"

The people started shooting at Seurah.

Suerah - "Ugh. Why couldn't humans keep their useless swords... this actually hurts!"

Jakz took out his right sickle and went for the man. The man pulled out a pistol and shot Jakz right arm. Immediately Jakz arm swung back and dropped the weapon. Jakz kept running. The man was about to shoot Jakz again, until Jakz revealed his his second sickle for his left hand. Jakz ducked and swiped at the man's legs, tripping him. Jakz then stabbed into the back of the man's neck. Jakz turned and saw Suerah clutching on to one of the people, while stepping on another. Their were still two others shooting. The power of the bullets knocked Suerah down, crushing both of the guys he was attacking. Jakz faced the the 2 enemies that were still standing. He charged and stabbed the farthest one, while kicking the other in the stomach. Both fell, the one he stabbed, dead. Jakz pushed his foot deep into the other man's chest.

Jakz - "At least you get the honor of being the last one to die."

Jakz moved his foot and stabbed the last person in the chest, piercing through the heart, killing him instantly. Jakz turned to look at Seurah, who had already gotten up.

Suerah - "I've never seen a person kill their own kind in cold blood Jakz. I think I'm going to like being with you."

Jakz fell onto his knees grabbing his right arm. The pain from being shot seemed worse, now that the rush of killing was over. Suerah ripped a piece of cloth off of one of the dead bodies and handed over to Jakz.

Suerah - "Don't want you dieing when I'm just starting to like you."

Jakz wrapped the cloth around his arm and went to pick up the sickle he dropped. Jakz got up and looked toward Thomas, who had passed out because of the violence.

Jakz - "Can you pick him up?"
Suerah - "You don't wanna kill him?"
Jakz - "He helped me before, I want to return the favor."
Suerah - "Fine."

Seurah picked up Thomas, and they tried to get as far away from the cave as possible to set up an early camp. It would take longer, since Jakz and Seurah had to take turns guarding the body.		2011-01-05 21:21:00

Griffyn eyeballed the stranger.

Griffyn: Treasure, eh? Well good luck. Word gets out, and soon every theif, criminal, and beggar in this sad excuse for a city will be chasing after it.

He looked down the side of the bar, and saw that those who weren't drunk had already left.

Griffyn: It's a good thing you're talkin' to one of the only sensible people within miles of this place. If you're looking for a team, I'm in.

He realized he'd spent all this time talking to this man, and didn't even know his name.

When one of the watchtowers came down, it took part of the skyship with it, leaving the weapons exposed. Quincy dashed towards the weapons, grabbed a fully-loaded MG, and started firing on the approaching YMP force. As soon as he ran out of ammo, he grabbed the nearest rocket launccher and started firing. Unfortunately for him, he had accidentally fired at the ground around him with the RPG and was knocked out. When he came to, he was in jail. Still woozy from the explosion, he couldn't stand up. He just lay there as the hours went by. Soon, the alarm went off and watched as all the prisoners escaped to freedom. Soon enough, someone opened his cell to reveal a familiar face.

Jenkins: "You thought you could kill me that easily?"
Quincy: "Jenkins! How are.. what.. why.."
Jenkins: "You do notice the large bandage around my head, don't you?"
Quincy: "So what happened?"
Jenkins: "No time! We gotta go!"

Quincy escaped the prison with Jenkins. He asked what happened. While Quincy was out for revenge, Jenkins was in the ER, being operated on. When the operation was successful, Jenkins swore never to betray Quincy again. They headed to Fortune's Burrow, told the news to McFallen and headed on out for their next mission. They were each given a list of targets, 10 each. The first one on Quincy's list was Dan McAllin. The first on Jenkins' was another assassin named Erza Mercury. Jenkins asked why Erza. He answered "He knows too much." So they both headed off. Quincy felt a need to work for McFallen, but didn't care. He just wantedto get this over with.

((Ooh, somebody's after you Mercuy! I don't want you to kill off Jenkins for now, so please just keep her alive))		2011-01-05 22:30:00

Issac groaned....clutching his side he hobbled out of the hole.

Issac: How long have I been out for??

His soft croak received no reply. The sun was starting to peek over the hills and the long grass glistened with dew. He stumbled along slowly remembering the horrific events that had happened in the night. Issac continued to wander through the dense forest. He had no idea how far Fortunes Burrow was or where he even was. He was hopelessly lost.

Leaning against a tree he lay down on the damp floor. Issac sighed...he was going to die...there was no way anyone would find him..Closing his eyes Issac let his weary limbs rest.

???: hfukdhauiaa

His eyes snapped open as he heard a soft murmuring around him. Issac could see a blurry shape walk towards him. He tried to pull himself up, but it was useless the blood loss and fatigue dragged him back down. Issac feebly reached around and his hand found the rough surface of a rock. Clutching it tightly in his hand Issac tried to speak to the stranger.

Issac: Who a..re you?

???: You don't need to know. Just relax I can help you...

Issac: Whaa...

Issac tried to fling the stone at the stranger, but he had no strength and it tumbled uselessly on the ground. He felt strong hands lift him off the ground and groaned just before he blacked out again.		2011-01-05 23:33:00

((I wonder why Jack's never on anymore. Do you think he'll come back?))

Quincy was on a flight to Koerbrochyve Vnitiev. From what Quincy had heard, Dan McAllin was an okay guy... until it came to religion. He was one of those extremists that killed whoever was not in his religion. Quincy also heard that this guy was armed to the teeth, but none of the other monks knew it.
No time to lay back, he had a mission to plan. Quincy arrived at the airport, but it was nothing more than a landing strip that was rarely used. It was a lot of money to get a direct flight to Koerbrochyve Vnitiev. He hoped it wasn't a waste of cash.
Turns out it was. This Dan McAllin had anticipated his arrival. How was that found out? When the other monks showed Quincy to his room, it was empty. Quincy silently let out a curse and asked the other monks. "His last letter had said that he was on a skyship called BAXTER." Turns out Frank's source was a bunch of bologna. Quincy immediately flew in the direction of the ship after being told where Dan was headed. It was a 2-3 hour flight until he reached the BAXTER. All Quincy had with him was a sniper, a pistol and a machete. Quincy was originally on a sniping mission, but it turned into a manhunt.

*EDIT* No, actually, let's have UnJammerSully do it. He offered before me, so he can do it.

(( I did?

Either way, here it is:

http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/group.php?groupid=748

If you come across this message Jack, then please add the link to the front page. I'll also transfer admin of the group to you so you can manage it of course. ))


((We really just need to combine more of our stories, like me and Tomeh are doing.))

(( I agree but at the same time I feel there's no need to shoe-horn other players in just because you can as it can just come across as jarring and even out of character. When I was talking about making a new FRPG, I would have had the set-up encourage players to interact instead of having each player having to manufacture a reason to interact with the other players. Just an idea anyways. ))


((I say that we wait a few days until we start ditching this, making new threads and such, it's the weekend, so there's a good chance he'll be online.))


((Well I think we should wait...it hasn't been that long anyway. Like we already said he is probably busy. Jack usually has short periods of time where he is away.))

(( Yeah totally, I think I gave the wrong idea. Let's give Jack a while to return at least. Might take him a little while to catch up with all our stories too so I guess we should just be patient for now. ))


((Yeah. So Suly will make the new thread, then we'll just continue our little stories from there?))

(( No no no, I was gonna make an entirely new forum RPG, not a continuation of this. Not gonna hijack someone elses RPG. XD ))		2011-01-08 02:14:00

((OK, go ahead. On with the story!!))

Quincy snuck past all of the tourists on the BAXTER. It was a cruise ship. Quincy headed towards the room, Room 42. Quincy opened the door.Dan was there.

Quincy: "So, I'm here to get rid of you.
Dan McAllin: "Yes, by a certain McFallen, I believe?"
Quincy: "How'd you know?!"
Dan: "I can see the future. And the past."
Quincy: "Oh really?"
Dan: "Yes I can. In about three minutes after you kill me, you will fly to Fortune's Burrow. There, you will retrieve a saphire, and fly towards your friend Jenkins."
Quincy: "And what makes you say that?"

Dan told Quincy about a prophecy of the end of the world called "The Portal." What happened between Jenkins and him a few weeks ago spawned a gateway for Hell to Skye. It was inside her. But, luckily, there was a way to stop it. With the Saphire of Immortality. Dan showed him a picture. It was the same gem as McFallen's. So Quincy headed towards Fortune's Burrow, hoping to set things right.

((Worry not, people. It's not the end of Skye. It shall be taken care of))

(( If I'm being honest, I think some of the things you have introduced are way too radical. Deciding your characters can pop to hell and back... And now introducing an earth-shattering cataclysm and a random deux ex machina within just a small paragraph is incredibly jarring. If it was your own self-contained story then I wouldn't complain but there's no way our characters can ignore things like this. That's just my opinion anyway, don't take it too personally. ))		2011-01-09 19:54:00

"GIMME THE LETTER!!"
"MAKE ME!!"
The lad was surprisingly agile amongst the floating islets, leaping and bounding away with ease as Aiya struggled to keep up, why bobbing and weaving in and out of the floating obstacles with her mechanical wings. They seem to be at this for hours now, and not one of them was letting up.
"Come on!!" Aiya exclaimed, her lungs beginning to burn from the constant changes in pitch, "I really need that letter!! PLEASE give it back to me!!"
"Nah," the lad mocked back, "This is WAAAY too fu-"
Suddenly, the guy's foot is caught by a small root, making him stumble and fall forward. Tumbling out of control, he rolls off the islet he was on and, to his horror, begins to fall towards the earth below. He thought he was a goner. Until...
"... I've stopped?" the lad sheepishly called out, looking down in disbelief as he dangles in mid-air. Only the whining joints of Aiya's wings mad him realize that the miracle that was, wasn't.
"Yeah, you did," Aiya snapped back, struggling with the guy's weight, "And if you don't gimme the letter when we get back on solid ground, I'll just drop you. Sound fair?"
"Yep," the lad replied, hasty with the response, "Now, can we PLEASE get back on the ground? 'cause this is a large drop, and, well... y'know."		2011-01-09 20:19:00

Issac awoke. He could hear soft chirping in the distance and a strange swishing noise. Looking around he saw that realized he was in some sort of wooden shack. Stepping out of his bed he warily pushed the door open.

Issac winced as it painfully creaked, sneaking around the door he found himself in a living area. There were fearsome creatures he had never seen before hanging on the walls of the shack. Strange beasts with five eyes and gruesome claws.

He snapped around with a start as he heard a door opening. Diving back through the door he slid against the wall panting. Issac let out a soft gasp as a tall gruff man who was almost equally broad thundered into the room. He quickly moved his arms forward to wrap the giant in a head lock.

Almost as if the man had eyes in the back of his head he struck out with lightning speed. Issac yelled out as he was slammed into the wall causing the whole shack to shiver.

Issac: ****!!!

???: Ahhh...sorry about that. I thought you were some thief or something. I have been seeing a lot of raiders around these parts of the woods recently.

Issac: Where am I??? Who are you?? What a thief!!!?

???: Well you are in my humble home. The name is Samuel...but you can call me Sam. There is no reason to be crazy and attack me. After all I did save your life. Anyway whats your name??

Issac: Issac...

He yelled out again as Samuel lifted him off the ground and carried him out the door. Issac despite his protests was thrown through the main door to a small glade in the woods. He landed with a painful grunt. Samuel casually strolled out of the house and sat down next to Issac.

Samuel: So Issac tell me your story...what happened to you?		2011-01-09 20:29:00

----------------
Jenkins walked down the streets of the Yokosaki downtown towards Erza's apartment, the two had met once before in Fortune's Burrow. Erza had provided information on a target of hers, all she needed was the fingerprint from the file he gave her to find him.
-----------------
Erza sat on the window sill with his binoculars, looking down towards the streets of the Neon district, his face was still all over, it was only a matter of time before they found him, but it seemed like they already had. A knock at the door startled him as he knew it wasn't someone bring good. Erza picked up the silenced pistol by his side and walked towards the door, He put his back to the wall on the right of the door, and slowly turned the nob with his left hand, weapon in the right. His visitor cautiously walked into the room, and turned left to find nothing, but before they could turn right, Erza already had them at gunpoint.
"Turn around, slowly."
They obeyed, and it was then that Erza recognized who was there.
"Ah, Erza, a bit jumpy now that the whole city wants your head?"
"What do you want Jenkins?"
"I thought you could use some help."
"What sort of help?"
"Well, I figured that you would have endless trouble trying to get out of the city, so I thought I would save you the trouble."
Before he knew it she had already escaped his grasp and went for he own weapon, Erza managed to catch up and try to the hit the pistol out of her hand while she wildly fired around the room, realizing it was no use she hollistered the gun and was now trying defend herself from Erza's strikes. She ducked at the next punch and tripped him with her foot. He quickly recovered with a roll and they were now seperated, aiming their firearm's at the head of one another.
"Haha, do you really think I don't know who you are Erza? You're not going to shoot me."
He stayed silent, focussed on Jenkins' heaed.
"You've only ever killed your targets, why would I be any different?"
She's taunting you, hold your ground Erza
"C'mon Erza, come at me."
Contain yourself, wait until she fires.
"Alright, I'll just put an end to this then.
Jenkins pulled the trigger, but Erza's reflexes got the better of him and he ducked at the right moment, quickly rushing towards he the second after. He jumped up when he was close and landed a bullet in her arm, causing her to drop her pistol just before Erza smashed her in the head with the grip of his weapon as hard as he could, dropping her straight to the ground.		2011-01-09 21:35:00

((Now that I doez not haz writers block, time to redo that last post!))

Quincy arrived on the BAXTER. Hoping to not be caught, Quincy snuck around the cruise ship. But there was nobody there. Quincy headed towards the room, Room 42. As he headed down the stairs towards the cabins, he noticed a slippery substance covering the floor. He gave it a lick.
Fresh blood.
Quincy reached the hallway with Room 42 in it. As he crept towards the room, he noticed there was more blood here. There were organs strewn on the walls. Heads shoved onto the lights, making it dark. Quincy headed on into Room 42. There was Dan McAllin, eating a brain.

Quincy: "And I thought you were a peaceful monk. Turns out you're a cannibal.. I should have known better."
Dan: "I'm no cannibal. I'm simply a demon like you."
Quincy: "Oh really? How about some proof?"

Dan then showed his true form. His face started to twist until it was upside-down. His skin turned a deep green. His body started to grow immensley, until it was about 100 feet tall.


Quincy: "Me and my big-"

Out of nowhere, Dan's foot smashed Quincy. Quincy got mad. Very mad. He started to lift the monster's foot and threw it off of him.

Dan: "You're stronger than you look."
Quincy: "Why thank you. And prepare to die."

The monster that was Dan started to swing violently at Quincy, but missed every swing. Once Quincy knew that Dan was tired, he took a shot at him with his sniper. After a few shots in the eye, Dan finally fell.
Unfortunately, Dan had fallen on the main engines and slipped off the ship, causing the jets on the sky cruiser to fail and also causing the ship to go on a collision course towards Yokosaki. The ship's computer showed 10 minutes on the countdown til collision. Quincy had to do something. Fast.

((Yup, to all of those in Yokosaki, better prepare for this one! Sorry if this is some kind of god-modding, but this will be interesting! You'll see!))		2011-01-09 22:32:00

((Does anyone mind if I post again? I just wanna get this over with. Here we go! Oh, also Mercuy, I'll be controlling your character for just a second.))

Quincy had 10 minutes to land a falling sky cruiser. He was no pilot, so he just started panicking. After about 3 minutes, Quincy started to push random buttons. That didn't work. He tried fixing the engines. Notta chance. He tried eating the pilot's steak sandwich! Very tasty, but not the right thing to do. With one minute left, he only had one coice: steer the ship away from Yokosaki. He wondered why he hadn't done that before. No time. As Quincy turned the ship, he realized he had turned it the wrong way, making it head for the city's power plant instead. Bad choice.

On another note, the man that Jenkins was after, Erza, had just stepped out of his apartment after knocking out Jenkins. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a ship came crashing through the dome. All he had time to say was: "What the-"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Suddenly, all of the power in Yokosaki was out. So was Quincy.

((You really should've asked me before you did that, I had a very clear plan for what was to happen next, oh well, i'll just say that my next post was in between, and that I just saw it through a window.))

Jenkins finally arose to a sight that she had never imagined, she was in a bed, bandaged arm, and toast on the table beside her. To her suprise she had been cared for by the same man who had shot her, and he was standing next to the window looking out at the streets below.
"Ah good, you're awake."
He said while moving closer towards her.
"Erza... why did you help me?"
"You said it yourself, I'd never kill anyone besides my targets."
"A pacifist hitman? never heard of such a thing."
"We only wish to die once we have seen everything we need to in this world, seems you're one step closer now."
He then turned back towards the window and grabbed his binoculars, while Jenkins noticed her pistol sitting on the table beside her, but Erza was already gone.

((Yeah, so then was me walking outside and seeing the thing crash.))		2011-01-10 00:30:00

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOME TIME EARLIER... BACK AT SEKAI HQ...

Dallas: And that's about the gist of it, Boss...

Spade: Hmmmm, well he may have gotten away but at least we have some solid info on who we are up against now. I want you to keep this Erza character firmly on your radar, understand?

Dallas: Yes, Boss. We won't fail again.

Spade: Good. You are dismissed for now, but keep all comms online as usual ready for further orders.

Dallas: Understood.

Marco: Yes sir.

Agitated from failing the mission, Marco and Dallas leave HQ together feeling somewhat disheartened.

Dallas: Well, as long as we have some free time on our hands... Let's go grab something to eat!

Marco: I'm not so sure, I think we-

Dallas: I wasn't asking!

Pulling an unwilling Marco along by the arm, Dallas assertively heads towards her favourite cafe in Yakosaki, Buchra Bistro. It's one of the few resturaunts left in the city that still sells more traditional dishes instead of the highly genetically-modified foods found around most of Yakosaki. It's fairly pricey, but worth the extra $$$'s to Dallas.

(( Do we have an established currency in Yakosaki? If we do, I'll come back and edit that line but if not, then I guess I'll make one up. ^ o ^ ))

With Marco still sulking, they both take a seat at a table by a window and take a look at the menu.

Dallas: I think I'll try something different today. Hmmm... Oooh, maybe the Oahu Chicken? How about you, Marco?

Marco: Eh, I'm not hungry...

Dallas: Are you gonna let one failure eat you up all day? We aren't superhuman, these things happen. You're supposed to be the older one here so stop acting like a kid!

Marco: Hmph...

An awkward silence fills the air for a while...

Dallas: "Criminals can always run and hide, but as long as Sekai is around, justice will find them sooner or later."

Marco: ...?

Dallas: That's what you told me once.

Marco: That really doesn't sound like me at all...

Dallas: Whatever, the point is there's no use getting all worked up over this one guy. We just have to work twice as hard next time, right? He won't be invisible forever, so I need you to be in top form ready for when he next strikes.

Marco: You're right, I apologize. We should-

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A massive explosion shook the entire resturaunt tipping Marco right out of his chair. It seems the power to the entire district was cut out.

Marco: Urgh... What now?

Dallas: Come on, let's check it out.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(( Sorry for a such a quiet and uninspired post. I didn't want to have nothing but action so tried some "character devlopment" but I kinda suck. Ah well, I'll try harder next time *wink* ))		2011-01-10 07:20:00

Samuel: How do you really plan on getting revenge?

Issac: errr.....I didn't really think that far ahead but I'm open for suggestions.

Samuel: .....no plan huh that can get a man killed. I'm not going to follow you on your foolish plan but I can give you a couple of things to help. Wait here..

Issac watched as Samuel rushed back into the shack. Sighing he sat back down on the ground. The man had a point...he had no plan. Samuel emerged from the shack holding a rusty iron box. Issac raised his eyebrows. There was probably some useless piece of meat or something in there. He watched as Samuel popped open the lock and pulled out a dodgy looking shotgun.

Issac: Sooo how old is that thing??

Samuel: Only about 20 years.

Issac: 20 years!!! How is this thing even going to help me. Is it some kind of shotgun?

Samuel: Something like that.....

Issac yelped as Samuel shot a few rounds into the air. Well at least it still worked....		2011-01-10 10:05:00

((While waiting for Tommeh to approve the next part in Thomas's story, I guess I can explain how Thomas's and Jakz's stories collide.
What me and Tom do is this:
1. We take turns writing parts
2. We then submit the part to the other, to make sure everything in it is OK and doesn't mess up their plans.
3. ???
4. PROFIT!
Basically what I'm suggesting you guys do, is when you want to have someone else's character in your story, do what me and Tom do. It's really helpful! Without this, Thomas would probably be a murdering machine!

Oh, remember when I said I was going to write a book based off this roleplay (giving Jack a sad, since he wanted to do it)? Well, me and Jack decided to let everybody write the chapters for their characters. When you complete a chapter or set of chapters, please send them to me so I can make sure they are all right and fit in with everyone else's chapters. The chapters dont have to be strictly based off the roleplay, you can add or take away if you so desire. If you decide not to make a chapter and your character is deemed extremely important to the storyline (Like Thomas and the stone), then I will write your chapters for you.))

Thomas: Ughhh..
????: *deep, strange voice* Hello Thomas.
Thomas: *wakes up to see a strange, rock figure* GAAAAH! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!
????: I won't kill a friend of Jakz.
Thomas: *head starts to hurt again* ...Jakz...? He....*clutches head in agony*
Jakz: *bursts into the tent* Suerah I think that shockwave is going to hit us, and it won't be pre-what the hell is wrong with him!?
Suerah: He just woke up.
Jakz: *kneels down* Thomas?
Thomas: COW...located...BENEATH...YOKOSAKI! GAAAAAAAAAAH!
Jakz: Thomas?! A cow beneathed Yokosaki? What's so special about that?
Thomas: *mumbling something not in english*
Suerah: COW stands for City of Wisdom. It's a city rumoured to be full of knowledge and history. Some also say that there is an altar there, where The One Chosen by The Stone will sacrifice him or herself to send Skye into a chaotic state.
Jakz: I se-
Thomas: Father Josef has the map...to COW.
Jakz: I see. Guess we'll have to pay him a visit.
*BOOM*
Thomas: What was that?
Jakz: BRACE YOURSELVES!
*Suddenly a shockwave sends the tent flying, bringing Thomas and Jakz with it*
Jakz: Suerah!
Thomas: Aaaaghhh!		2011-01-10 18:38:00

Quincy awoke to being dragged to a police car. He kept on struggling to break free. Until one officer said that word: "freak". More specifically: "Get this skinless freak back to the car."

Quincy: "What did you just call me?"
Officer: You heard me! I called you a freak! FREAK!" *laughs to himself*
Quincy: "You don't know what I've been through, have you?"
Officer: "Don't know, don't care."
Quincy: "I have been pushed, shoved, EXILED FROM MY HOME, SENT TO PRISON, THROUGH.."
Quincy burst into flames. The cops dragging him started to drop him and run away.
Quincy:"...HELL AND BACK AND KILLED BY MY GIRLFRIEND! AND THIS IS THE THANKS I GET?!"
Officer: "Calm down, kid! You're going crazy!"
Quincy: "NO! NEVER AGAIN! I LIKE WHO I AM, AND I'M GOING TO STICK WITH IT!!"
Quincy's body started to grow until he was 200 feet tall.
Officer: "eep.."
Quincy picked up the officer.
Quincy: "Do you know who I am?"
Officer: "who?"
Quincy: "I.. AM.. DEATH!!!"

Quincy ate the officer and went on a rampage, killing everything in sight.

Samuel: Pretty nifty ehh

Issac: Well..I guess I will take it. I don't have any weapons anyway.

Samuel grinned and tossed the rusty shotgun towards Issac. Catching it Issac stared hard at the old shotgun. It has intricate carvings all over the barrel and strange levers. Issac fired a couple of rounds at some trees and was surprised to see that it actually caused a lot of damage..getting hit with one shot would easily kill a man.

Samuel: Some advice for you don't touch the levers. They activate well some very interesting features that you don't want to know about.

Issac: Righht...

Samuel: Well lets go inside and have a little break.

They walked back inside the small wooden shack and had a hearty meal of strange animals.

-time skip 1 week-

Samuel: Well see you later. Feel free to drop by anytime.

Issac laughed, grabbing the shotgun he strolled out into the dense forest. Using a map that Samuel had given him he began to whistle as he marched through the forest. After a few days of travel he grinned as he caught sight of billowing thick black smoke coming from Fortunes Burrow.

"So you're from New York City?" the lad queried, tossing a small stone in his hand, "Never heard of it."
"It's nothing, really," Aiya teased, "Besides the fact that it's one of the BIGGEST CITIES in the WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD."
"Even bigger than Yokosaki?" the lad spoke back, his eyes wide in wonder.
"Ehrm... can't say," Aiya sheepishly replied, "I've never been... to... Yokosaki."
"YOU HAVEN'T?!" he immediately blurted, nearly scaring Aiya, "Houw could you have been here for so long and NOT have gone to Yokosaki?!!"
"Well I was heading down there!" Aiya stated, "But then SOMEONE just had to mess with me for a bit..."
The lad almost replied, but instead recessed to an embarassed grin.
"To be honest," Aiya softly spoke, "I've never really been anywhere outside of the upper ruins. This is even my first time out here."
"Wow. Really?" the lad questioned, "Seems like you knew your way around these stones without much trouble-"
"I know, I know," Aiya interrupted, "Flying's just a second habit for me. You wouldn't BELIEVE how scary it was chasing after you..."
The two sat there in silence for a bit, thinking over different things. Then, in a kind gesture, the lad reaches out his hand towards Aiya.
"Start over?" he asked, looking Aiya in the eyes.
"Uhh..." she hesitated, looking around for a bit, "Sure."
And with that, the two shake hands, becoming rivals no more.
"Good!" the lad joyfully announced, "By the way, the name's Charlie."
"Aiya," she replied back, now having a warm smile on her face.
"Aiya, nice to meet you," Charlie replied, making the both of them laugh, "Now, we wouldn't wanna delay!"
"Delay what?" Aiya asked, the two of them standing back up.
"Why, your errand in Yokosaki!" Charlie excitingly called back, "Wouldn't wanna postpone that for much longer, y'know!"
Saying that, he snatches his small sack from his back, spinning it in front of him. Tossing it upwards like a pizza pie, the sack unfolds and transforms into a sleek, state-of-the-art board, complete with LED trimmings. The sight amazed Aiya. Then, with a quick step on and a push-off, Charlie sends himself off the cliff and into a spinning freefall, slowly transitioning into a "surf". Not wanting to lag behind, Aiya quickly unfolds her wings and begins following after, making her way once more towards Yokosaki.		2011-01-11 06:13:00

Strolling through the city of Fortunes Burrow Issac received a number of dirty looks and someone had even tried to mug him as he took a short cut through an alley. The city was interconnected through a series of alleyways and streets. "So this is fortunes Burrow what a dump.."

Distracted for a second he bumped into a large built man with tattoos all over his arms. "Watch it you little ****!!" The man shouted as he spat in Issac's face. Sighing Issac simply strolled past wiping the disgusting spit from his face. As he continued to walk through a flashing neon sign caught his eye.

It simply read 'Gunny's Guns & Ammo store'

Strolling into the store he was met by cold deadly stares.		2011-01-12 00:10:00

He thought for a minute.

Griffyn: Just this.

He pulled out a rusty old dagger from his pocket. It looked like it might have been worth something once, but now it was too hard to tell.		2011-01-12 01:15:00

((Whew! Didn't have to worry about frequently updating the OP today. ^_^"))

Soaring like two small birds in a vast open sky, Aiya and Charlie had a little "fun" on their venture towards Yokosaki. Zero-G rolls, backflips, loop-de-loops, spins- it was almost like a miniature air show unveiling itself for the empty air to marvel and spectate at.
"Watch this!" Charlie exclaimed, grabbing the bottom of his board and hurling himself backwards. The lad pulled a perfect 1500 Tuck-Roll, nearly going for a 2160 as he clumsily tried positioning himself back into an upright stance.
"Niiiice," Aiya complimented, a slight twinkle in her eye, "Now try this."
Almost instantaneously, she tucks in her mechanical wings and goes into a head-first plunge. Her ponytail flailed around like a windsock stuck in a hurricane, and frost began to form on her goggles as she reached terminal velocity. Then, once she peaked at top speed, Aiya unfolds her wings and tilts her body upwards, performing an incredible Belly-Up Loop-de-loop to Natural. She's gretted by the gracious applaud of a waiting Charlie.
"Awesome!" Charlie complimented, giving her a thumbs up, "But you're really gonna like this one..."
Bending his knees, Charlier goes into a low surfer's position, speeding ahead of Aiya for his risky maneuver. Then, as he makes enough distance between her and himself, the lad stands straight up, crosses his arms, and throws himself into a disorienting spin. This death-defying, yet terrifying, move was known simply as the Torrent. Rapidly loosing speed, Aiya rapidly encroaches the slowing boy as he continues his disorienting spins, now throwing his board all over the place. Yet, just at the last moment, when she was almost certain they'd collide, Charlie quickly thrusts himself upwards and performs a backflip... arching right above Aiya. Their faces were mere centimeters away from eachother.
"A Kamikaze Super-Helix-Flip Torrent," Charlie boldly announced, regrouping with Aiya, "Now how's THAT."
"That was CRAZY!!" Aiya gleefully replied, "I didn't know someone would be THAT skilled and THAT crazy to pull it... do you smell something?"
Confused, Charlie takes a quick whisp of the air.
"Uhh... yeah," Charlie finally responded, "Smells like some sort of hydranium or... uh oh."
Wide-eyed and shocked, Charlie suddenly dives downwards and starts gliding his way down to the towering smoke column below. Not wanting to be left behind, Aiya follows the now frightened Charlie to the disaster below.

Apparantly... Yokosaki's been hit.		2011-01-13 05:31:00

Issac ignored the shady characters and browsed through the store. There were guns of all shapes and sizes hanging on the walls. Ranging from pistols to sniper rifles. Issac walked over to the pistol section. Gazing at the wall he grabbed a pair of Volcanic .41 cal pistols.

Examining them closely he tested the various mechanisms in the weapon. Satisfied with the gun he walked over to pay for the Volcanic. Upon putting his hands in his pockets he realized he was broke....

He jumped as he heard a cold voice behind him. "So you short of cash ehh.." The man grinned revealing his golden teeth."The names Jake I can pay for those if you do me a little favor." Issac warily replied as he prepared to draw out the shotgun.

"What find of favor are we talking about here" Issac frowned as he saw Jake pull an envelope from his pocket.

Seek out a man in Fortunes Burrow named Hyde and give him this envelope. He shouldn't be too hard to find. Be sure to deliver it...sealed. Or you might have an unfortunate accident...."

Issac reluctantly handed over the guns to Jake and watched as the man payed for them. He didn't trust the old shotgun and needed some real weapons. Jake tossed the pair of Volcanics at Issac and casually walked out of the store. Loading the weapons he saw a bit of paper sticking out of one of the barrels. It simply read "I'm watching you.."

Issac groaned walking out the store he headed back into the dangerous streets of Fortunes Burrow.

He paused to think.

((Alllrighty. Now I'm pretty sure y'all figured out that I have an infamous tendency to be horribly lazy when it comes to managing things. HORRIBLY, lazy. -_-
But I already have my part of the story all mapped out, so I'll keep posting until I'm done with my part or I just forget about it. I'll be gone from the 5th to the 15th of February (trip to France/Belgium). Hopefully I'll be able to even finish this FRPG before it becomes another one of my "dead threads".))

The smoggy shroud of smoke and soot billowed from the crash below, as the sounds of the whining engines and mechanisms from the automated filtration systems strategically dispersed arpund the dome began the painfully slow process of syphoning the smog from Yokosaki's enclosed atmosphere. About half of the YPM's localized task force started to converge on the scene, hosing down sparse fires and neutralizing any hostiles they stumbled across... if they weren't taken out themselves.
Aiya and Charlie finally navigated themselves out of the smoke, stopping at about 500 ft. above the fiery scene.
"What the?!" Aiya gasped, "What happened here?!"
"I-i dunno!" Charlie blurted, grief-stricken at the sight of the crash, "But we can't be flyin' around these parts for long! The YPM's bound to-"
"This is the YPM!!" A flying patrolman blurted out, floating about 50 ft. away from the duo, "You are flying in a restricted area!!"
"Ahh Christ!!" Charlie groaned, charging his board's thrusters, "RUN!!!"
Suddenly, in a burst of electricity and kinectic repulsion, Charlie rockets himself skywards, easily reaching near the dome's glass ceiling. The officer immediately gives chase, blasting his jetpack to home in on the renegade. Before Aiya could say something, two more flying units rocket in from behind, aiming their "foreigner neutralizers", in this caze a heavy set of lightning-firing rifles. Aiya quickly throws herself to the right, dodging the initial shot. She then tucks in her wings and dives towards the chaotic alleys and streets of Yokosaki's Toshiba district. Heaven knows who, or what, Aiya might run into...		2011-01-23 06:57:00

Marco: Oh noes! What's that?

Just then an asteroid came soaring towards them.

Dallas: Magic wand, make my monster GROOOOOOW!

Dallas threw her magical staff of power at Marco and he grew like seriously 100 times bigger, f'sho.

Marco: Raaaaawwwwrrr, take THIS asteroid!

But Marco forgot to tie his shoelaces and tripped and died.

THE END

Augustus: Julius has been murdered?
Ed: Y-yes sir.
Augustus: Great, fantastic. Where is Thomas?
Ed: He's...he's...
Augustus: Spit it out.
Ed: He's missing. We believe the murderer took him.
Augustus: Useless fools, all of you. Where's Jack?
Ed: We haven't heard of him since the attack on the dojo.
Augustus: *sigh* Send someone to go look for him...
Ed: Yes sir!		2011-02-02 03:36:00

((I entered late lawl. First post, hopefully someone tries incorporate me.))

Dr. Hector was in a small cramped room within the slums of Fortunes Burrow. A few weeks ago he packed up and slipped away into a small apartment. Inside he had set up a system of telescopes monitoring as many inches of the city as he could. He had observed murders, robberies, and general breakings of the law. But he was ignoring all that. He had seen an unusaul amount of strange events in the stars. Over the city the stars were flashing. Not fast flashing though. Just very bright flashing. Each time it flashed, the city was bombarded with light. But each time it lasted only a second. Hector was confused. He had no idea what was going on. He had to find out. SUddenly, someone knocked on the door....
