What if your characters suddenly... 2

Paranesia was mildly surprised, but was sufficiently motivated as to stop her wild search for Kazumaru.

~Ah, Genkaku. Good to see a worshiper of mine that obeys my orders for once.~

Paranesia made haste to the island that she found Genkaku on, coating the city he resided in with mist.

Immediately she appeared, a smaller than usual form on a desk.

Looking through their eyes she got a somewhat accurate view of the area.

~I would not believe it to be smart to stay with this man. Whatever he has told you has been a lie, as he summoned you here for his own, greedy purposes. It would be smart if we left the area immediately.~

---

Shaon closed the door behind her. She did not bother to wait for Wolf and Kazumaru.

Wolf and Kazumaru stumbled out of the library side by side.

"You suck." Wolf said.

"Oh, that was quick." Luke mused, not too surprised to see the misty fox appear in his room. "Care for some french fries, Goddess? I'd offer you more but Genkaku was quite hungry..." He held out a mostly eaten and probably cold container of the greasy food to Paranesia, expecting that she might be hungry or keen for some kind of offering.

~But my Goddess, he is a worshipper of you! He has housed me and fed me in his temple as a fellow worshipper - do you really not know him?~ He looked at Luke with a bit of a concerned frown on his face, not entirely sure who to believe in this situation. His natural response, of course, was to believe Paranesia, but when he'd first met her she'd forgotten about Genkaku and his people, so would it really be so strange if she'd forgotten about Luke and his ilk too?

Luke, being totally unable to mindspeak to any degree, simply remained at his desk holding the cold chips up for Paranesia to eat. He guessed that they were probably mindspeaking about something or other, but unfortunately (or was it fortunately?) he couldn't hear a lick of it.

"That's perfect." David said to Kay, and then he turned to KC11 "And you look stunning. I'm sure your dragon form is even more beautiful."
David was attempting to flatter her.

Zerrer could tell what David was doing and grunted. He was not happy with having to stay in the background, but he had to if David was his creator.

David called his own Skype number.

Alex: Yeah?
David: Apparently KC could probably carry several people while flying.
Alex: How many?
David: Maybe 5. 6 if we're lucky.
Alex: Okay.
David: I'll call you if anything else happens over here.
Alex: Sure *Click*

"How fast can you fly?" Zerrer, getting impatient, tried to start a conversation with KC.

Shaon · Posted: Thu Mar 20, 2008 1:41 pm Post subject:

"I'm sure," Shaon replied, taking her bike from the rack and walking towards the road. "Go faster, it's a long way to my house."

---

The fox simply stared at the cold fry.

~I do not eat,~ she said to Luke. Her distinctive way of mindspeaking made it that, although he had no capability to hear telepathic conversations, he could hear the thoughts she implanted into his mind perfectly well.

She spoke next to Genkaku. ~I am positive. He is lying. His thoughts are blatant in this matter. It seems that he thinks he created you, though he does not very much like your existence. He seems to be irritated by you, in fact.~

*Angel and Zed have been left to their own devices in the front room. Their game glows abandoned on the television. Angel idly plays with Zeds hair, a worried expression on her face,*

This world is not like ours Zed, I can't hear the voices of the damned. We'll not be able to feed without destroying these humans lives...

*He can already feel her hunger gnawing at her, he fed not long before this... phenomenon occurred and is as yet unaffected.

Rosie sits with her laptop and brings up the Blackstar website, Sarah looking over her shoulder. She discovers, much to their mutual relief, the thread about character emergence.

"Suit yourself Goddess," Luke answered to Paranesia's rather unfriendly refusal of chips. It was a little creepy having her voice in his head like that, and he hoped that she didn't plan on doing it too often.

"You find me... irritating?" Genkaku said to Luke, too surprised to keep quiet about this. "Not always, just in the time that you've been here. I'm not used to visitors like yourself." Luke responded rather truthfully, keeping an eye on Paranesia. It was quite annoying to be in the presence of a mind reader. "To be fair though, in the time that you've been here you've basically trashed the place." Luke gestured about his room as he said this, pointing out the heap of clothes on the floor, the squirming blanket, the leftover fast food wrappers and the numerous grease marks on his walls and bed. "I'm not looking forward to cleaning up."

Genkaku seemed to understand this, in the sense that Luke didn't so much hate him as find him to be an unwelcome guest. Considering that Luke had fed and sheltered him without complaining though, Genkaku thought that perhaps this wasn't as bad as Paranesia thought it to be. "But what about not worshipping Paranesia?" He thought aloud. "Why would you lie about something like that?"

Luke frowned, feeling very annoyed with Paranesia right now. "Well, you can hate me for that, but if I hadn't said I was you might have run away looking for the nearest temple for Paranesia or something." Genkaku knew that this was true, though before he could ask about that Luke answered his question for him. "There aren't any in this world. Few people know of Paranesia at all, and those who do believe her to be nothing but pure fiction."

He could have explained a little more, but Luke didn't want to go breaking Genkaku's heart like that. The guy practically lived to serve Paranesia, better for him to think that people from this world were ignorant fools than for him to learn that she was merely the product of a mortal mind. "In any case, I'm certain that you wouldn't do well in this world by yourself, I'd wager that even Paranesia's finding it uncomfortable." Luke said, looking back at the Goddess.

Genkaku's head was spinning, this was all too bizarre. How could people not be aware of Paranesia at all? And worse still, how could the few who were aware of her consider her to be nothing more than a fairy tale? "And... What of you creating me?" He finally managed to ask, not sure if he really wanted to know. "That's a bit tricky to explain." Luke replied, again not wanting to destroy Genkaku's mind with the truth. "I had a hand in it, I suppose, but... Well, to cut a long story short, you exist because of Paranesia." Genkaku sighed with relief. This was no surprise to learn, and he felt good to know that he was right about at least one important truth.

And you exist because of Shaon, Paranesia. Luke thought to himself. He couldn't mindspeak, but assuming that the Goddess was still reading his mind she should be able to hear him loud and clear. If you haven't already spoken to her you probably should. She knows everything about you - all that's ever happened to you and all that ever will.

KC gave David the evil eye. She hated compliments. It made her feel like an object, and she knew that people were just trying to use her when she was being complimented. She wasn't beautifel at all, really. Her face looked a bit masculine, and her chest was quite flat, and she wore baggy clothes, and....

"So, how fast can you fly?"

KC was taken out of her reverie by the sound of Zerrer talking. She spoke.

"It depends. Of course, I fly slower if there's more people on my back, but if I just alter my wing structure a little bit, then I could probably carry more. I need to eat a lot more before I can do that though. Traveling through that warp took a bit out of me."

"Fibre, you've reading the screen haven't you?"

"Maybe." The reply NR was given was cryptic, so she decided Fibre had. It was her nature, something she knew quite well as it was simmilar to her own.

"KC11. You know her, but she's in America from what I understand. With a freaking huge sea between us. That's England for you; it's a miserable, damp little island. Sorry for the blunt truth, but your weakness is everywhere. Oh, and my family would kinda notice if I vanish."

NR ran a hand through her hair. Getting Fibre back to Over There would be hellish difficult. Meeting anybody else would be- wait, hold on. Didn't Swix live in the UK too?

She spun around in her chair and typed up the latest post.

Kazumaru · Posted: Fri Mar 21, 2008 7:06 pm Post subject:

The two broke into a jog to catch up with Shaon.

"I agree with lardy over there." Kazumaru said. "You suck."

Zerrer · Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2008 10:51 am Post subject:

David spoke up "Okay. Shaon, Wolf, and Kazumaru is in Florida, Norns_Rock Fibre, Swix and Blue are in England, We are in California, and Alex is in Washington. J.J, Ensichrys, 3kul, Genkaku, and Paranesia are in google knows where..."

Catalouging his thoughts, he continued.

"Kazumaru can teleport, Blue might be able to fly, KC can fly. Probably quite gracefully, I might add." He inclined his head towards KC.

David started trying to formulate a plan.

"KC, me and Kay might be able to fly to england, pick up Wolf and Shaon and Kazumaru, go to England, meet up with Swix and Blue. By then Zerrer could pick up J.J, and Ensichrys and be in England. My guess is 3kul, Paranesia, and Genkaku are together."

He called Alex.

Alex: Yeah?
David: Ask J.J where Zerrer could meet him and Ensichrys. We're trying to group up together. Also ask 3kul where Genkaku and Paranesia is. Tell him to send my respect to Para also.
Alex: Why?
David: Paranesia's a goddess.
Alex: Okay *Click*

"What do you think?" He asked Kay and KC. He ignored Zerrer.

((Dropping out of this due to other outside-of-Blackstar concerns))

Swix · Posted: Sat Mar 29, 2008 12:20 am Post subject:

She really should be asleep by now. She really really should. But Blue was snoring, she was cold and no doubt other people would moan if she went downstairs.

So, Swix picked up her phone and had a look at Blackstar, surprised to find that NR was still awake.

*Rosie sighs heavily as the man runs off to find a phone. She leans against the window and presses her forehead against the cool glass. Her stomach churns with a mix of cruel excitement and fear.*

Very well... my old friends, you don't know how you've saved me, years gone, so it's now my turn to return the favour. I will find our destination, and we'll make our haste.

*she realises with an ironic twinge that she is speaking to them in Angel's manner. It is quite unintentional and she resolves to stop.

Zed rises from his seat on the wooden floor and touches their creator gently on the shoulder, saying nothing. He picks up her laptop and puts it on the low table, bringing up the web explorer, it is simple technology compared with his speciality and he has it going in moments.*

Miss Rose, *he ruffles his feathers and nods, a serious expression on his face. She takes her seat and refreshes the page. After reading the few brief replies she nods and types her reply. The two vampires watch over her shoulder in silence, seeming to have a conversation between themselves, in complete silence.

~She is a level headed girl, though the strain may be...~
~She seems to have a hard will, despite. But hard shatters, ~
~There is no way to tell, however to make an offer like that takes more than a hard will, foolishness possibly... she should know how much I take. She of all people.~
~She sees a debt between us, don't deny her one chance to repay it. Though we don't know what it is, perhaps her honour demands this,~

Rosie has a feeling they are talking, knowing of their private ways. It is slightly distracting and she keeps her reply short,
