The City

[GBE]

((To start with, this is a free-form roleplay, except with a few restrictions. I have had this idea rolling about my head for a few weeks now, and still, I have at least three versions that I'd like to see working, pretty much the same idea throughout, but slightly differet rulings. But we'll go with this one, because it might work.

I'll set out guidelines after I give you the pre-amble intro... ))

The city, for all reasonable judgement, appears to be empty. Cars abandoned and burnt out, turned over or ripped apart, as though they'd held something valuable. Litter and debris cover the rods and pavements, leaflets and rubbish lifting up heavily and falling around as the breeze blows throughout the city.

Windows and doors are boarded over from the inside. Barrels are still burning in alleyways and onstreet-corners, as if they were used to provide light for the city. Scraps of food can be seen nearby, as if many had run to hide or escape something. Nothing seems to be in these streets apart from the sense of something strange and unpleasant. An echo of sadness and time gone past.

A shadow races across one of the streets. Someone here is alive, and running as if that's about to stop. Using the shadows and alleyways, they finally reach a building, banging on the door, it opens, and he enters, not a word said. Silence again fills the streets.

((You'll learn exactly what happens as you roleplay in this. My only restrictions are any characters you plan on using through this can be no older than 18 at the most. You can bring in characters over that age, but, they won't last long. That's all I'm saying.

Powers are allowed, but I don't want any God characters (unless you become mortal.

And, I am the GM in this thread, what I say, goes...

Enjoy...))

[Mitsukai]

(I'm a little bit unsure about where this is suppose to be going... so I'll just be doing a rough intro. )

"Mimi... w'ere are we?" the four-year-old girl asked her ten-year-old sister, allowing herself to be lead down the quiet street by the hand. For each of her sister's long strides she had to take two in order to keep up. Perky pigtails bobbled up and down every time she took a half-skipping step.

Milyan glanced down at her sister, giving her a fond smile. "Actually Kit, I'm not really sure..." she trailed off.

"Oh..." Kitrina thought for a moment. "But Mimi will take care of me rite?"

"I'm not sure... a brat like you?"

"'ey!" she pouted.

Milyan grinned. "Of course I will. No matter what."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

With that, the two girls continued walking down the street.

[GBE]

((Ok, to clairfy, it's an abandoned city, and you've got to try and find out whats going on, why its abandoned, and when you find out in character, why there are no adults around.

All characters to be under 18

You can have a character already here and hiding or be new here or what have you, it'd be easier for you to be new here though...

Mitsukai kind of has the right idea....))

[EnDSchultz]

((I'm guessing an invisible 400+ year old blade-wielding high-tech blood-thirsty creature from outer space is out?))

[Somefreakoverthere]

A shadow flickered, and TripleSix stepped forwards from it. She paused, and stepped back in again as she thought about something.

A minute later, she emerged once more, this time as a child with her hair tied back. She was new to the city, and liked it. There was plenty of shadows that she could use to her advantage if she needed to.

[Mitsukai]

Kitrina was silent for barely five minutes before she began chattering again.

"W'ere's Mummy and Daddy?"

"They're in heaven," replied Milyan almost mechanically. It seemed like such a long time ago....

Breaking into her older sister's train of though, Kitrina spoke again. "Tell me about 'eaven again Mimi?"

"Oh Kit..." Milyan sighed. "I've already told you a hundred times!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not not not!" Kitrina pouted, pulling her hand out of Milyan's grasp and crossing her arms in front of her chest.

Milyan sighed and rolled her eyes before replying firmly, "Did too."

"If Mimi doesn't tell me rite now, I'm going to run!" Kitrina declared.

Not taking her seriously, Milyan answered, "Go ahead."

"Meanie!" yelled Kitrina before she sprinted away.

Shocked that her sister had been serious, Milyan ran after her, her longer strides easily eating up the ground that her sister was covering. Within a couple of steps, Milyan had Kitrina's hand in her grasp again. "Don't do that againi!" exclaimed Milyan, panting slightly. There was something about this area that she didn't like...

Seeing her sister's almost frightened expresion, Kitrina immediately dropped all pretenses of being mad and nodded. "I promise!" the little girl swore.

Milyan breathed out in relief and pulled her sister into a fierce hug which Kitrina gladly accepted.

[Goron40]

((Perhaps this should be in our urban-RP board? The city of that board has many alternate forms.))

[Swix]

As the two girls stopped in the streets, a curtain in an apparently abandoned house twitched as what looked like short red hair disappeared behind it.

Inside the house stood a young girl of no more than fourteen years of age, her fiery red shoulder length hair swaying to her sudden movement as she whipped around to face her companion. Yellowish green eyes surrounded by pale skin peered into the dark of the room as the young girl folded her arms.

"Kalat, there are others coming"

The girl said as she watched the other with what appeared to be sneer on her face. Kalat looked up from what he had been doing to face her. He was a young boy, around thirteen years old. His hair was light brown and messy, though short and had obviously been cut by one or the other. Unlike the girl standing in front of him, his skin was tanned and his eyes were very dark. He also held a shotgun in his lap, which was what he had been fiddling with before the girl talked to him.

"It doesn't matter, does it Nola?"

The girl, now identified as Nola, shook her head.

"Not really. But I think I'll watch a bit more"

The girl returned to the curtain and twitched it aside again slightly as she placed yellowy green eyes on Milyan and Kitrina.

[GBE]

((I've neglected this a little bit.... I'm not sure, but I don't think I mentioned this RP will have any real bearing on your current roleplays or character development (unless somehow there's a wierd time/space/alternate dimension loop somewhere abouts...

End, I don't think it would be a suitable character, no... If you have something younger, and perhaps less powerful.. Mayb you could roleplay a young Yaut'jian (I don't think that's spelt right...)...

Goron, it's alright here, because this isn't a ny city on Blackstar or any known planet. Just consider it as an alternate Earth or something....))

A shadow quickly moves across the rooftops, as if someone were running to spread a meesage to someone, moving silently and efficiently.

Suddenly, a door not far from the girls slams open and a young girl comes running out, and stops as she sees both Milyan and Kitrina. Her eyes are wide with shock and amazement, her mouth haging open. She couldn't be more than five years old herself. Suddenly a teenage girl runs out and grabs her by the hand, and drags her back in glancing at the other two girls, shaking her head as the door slams shut.

It opens again a minute later, and a teenage boy, about 14 steps out and looks at them both, "Where's your tribe?!" He asks in a gruff voice. He's covered in what appears to be home made armour, and has an array of knives about his person.


Unknown to Triplesix, she is now being watched by a group of girls, hidden in their own shadows. They don't move or look at each other, but carefully watch where Triplesix is going, and look as if they're trying to identify something.

[Somefreakoverthere]

Triple looked around carefuly, not wishing for any body to see this. She misses the group of girls, and smiles if that is what you can call it. Normally, the inside of somebody's mouth was pink-ish: not completely black.

She closed her eyes, and her arms began to elongate, streching to a length that when combined with her child like apperence made them look horrific. You don't normally see children with two and a half meter long arms. The next thing to change was her back; it twisting itself into a completely new shape. Spikes burst through flesh and cloth, running the length of her back.

Content with her new shape, she latched onto the gutter of a house and lanched herself up with surprising strength. She landed, and her shape melted into the shadows before it sprung up and leaped across the street and from there it bounced over the house, whatever was in where two gardens and another roof should be before landing once more in a street.

A few grunts and the girl was there once more, her long and somewhat grotest arms still in place with the spikes apon her back. An arm sprung up briefly from her chest, removing something from her neck. She took a sip from it, returned it to her neck and let the arm fade.

"If it has a shadow you can use it's shape" She reminded herself as she faded into a shadow, twisting it so it was hard to be pulled out of the shadow if anybody in this city had the ability to do so.

[Mitsukai]

((Just a note to all, I have a week long band trip, so I might not be able to post during that time. I'll try my best to do so though.))

The sudden sound of the door slamming open made Milyan go in front of Kitrina protectively. Raising up to her toes, Kitrina tried to look over her sister's shoulder. The two girls watched in amazement at the next turn of events. So entranced were they were at the now closed door, they almost jumped in surprise when the door opened once again. It took a little while for the words to be proccessed, but when the words did, Milyan replied, "We have none," in a strong voice, eyeing the boy suspiciously.

[Leporidae]

((Hmm, a Abandoned city on Earth, eh? Sounds perfect for RPing a younger, alternative-dimension Leporidae))

Yellow eyes glitter ontop of the roof. A 13 year old Rabicat looks down at the persons below. Having only fur for protection and a meat sandwitch, she was
getting a bit deperate. Her eye catches the gruff-sounding boy with the armor and knifes. While he seems more dangerous then the other potential victims, this one has armor. The armor could be very usefull for future fights. She grabs her sabre, Fang, and glides down to the boy. While swooping downwards at a fast pace, she aims Fang at the boy's neck. Should it hit, it will probibly eather stab him in the neck or slice his head off.

[Mitsukai]

Milyan had been so focused on the newcomer's face that she did not notice the Rabicat. The flicker of movement did not excape her sister's aquamarine eyes however. From behind her sister, she yelled, "Watch out!"
