[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]In the year of 2016 world leaders came together to resolve the long standing problem of the existence of mythical beings. The world leaders felt like this was their planet and they wanted to take it back from the world of the supernatural.  By doing so they crafted the inorganic four horsemen. These horsemen were completely congruent with their organic counterparts. With the help of these creations humanity faced a world in which the supernatural no longer exist. Though this world didn't last for long due to the inorganic horsemen developing a personality of their own. These inorganic beings not only killed off all of the supernatural but also killed off all of the humans by using their own weapons against them. For over 20 years the inorganic horsemen have roamed the Earth as if it were rightfully theirs, making creations of their own as they went. Upon the year of 2036, August 14th a lone surviving sentient orb that has stored fragments of the previous worlds power has awoken from it's slumber. It's purpose was to store power in an isolated camp to resurrect the stored beings within itself. In the form of adolescents, distinguishable mythical figures have been reincarnated to train within the safe and empowering bounds of the camp. If they can train hard enough, unlock the worlds true secrets, and survive then it is possible to free the world from the inorganic beings and transcend once more.  [/SIZE]
 
Derek wakes up in a coffin made of stone, he tries to lift the top of the coffin, but it feels too heavy for him. He tries again with all his strength and the stone slab is pushed off and as soon as it opens a burst fire is shot from the sides of the coffin. Derek then stood up, cracked his neck and saw what looked to be civilization in the distance,"where the hell am I?" He said as he gazed upon the buildings. "Well where ever it is, it better have some decent booze." Derek said has he began walking towards the buildings.

'You've got to get up. Come on, Jasper. You can't keep laying around. Jasper. Get, Up. Fine, stay there see if I care. I'm warning you. You're just going to rot away. You need to move. Maybe you'll turn into dust and blow away. Or you could just GET UP!'
The last word echoed and rang, rattling in the Jasper's mind until he finally obeyed. His hands skide down his face and he groans, rough and morning ragged, sitting up and stretching.
'Oh good. You're up. Took long enough. How was your reeest?'
"Fine. I didn't dream much," moving into his bathroom, leaving the light off, water on, and beginning to brush his teeth. "The usual same thing." You're usually there, why ask? "Maybe I missed it." Spits. "Funny." Rinses mouth and leaves.
Jasper walked into the unlit kitchen in his studio hut. Opening the fridge and grabbing milk, he quickly shut it back, encasing the only light back inside. The man meekly made a bowl of cereal, cinnamon toast, and a pear for later. Equip with his meal, Jasper ventured out the front door, the sun glaring down upon him, bathing him in its warmth and glow. He spooned his cereal, venturing forth and walking the grounds, again, to see if anyone else had found this forest camp. It was convoluted, but destined. There cant only be one resident. He couldn't have been the only one to find the place since. Others had to eventually, somehow, someway make it here. It was just a matter of time.

    Derek continued to make his way towards the buildings and as he got closer it began to get more and more clear on what it was, he noticed that it seemed to be a large camp of sorts. After walking for what seemed to be forever, he finally got the center of the camp. Derek then searched the whole area for anyone else, he was about to give up when he turned around and saw someone standing with a bowl in his hands," HEY YOU OVER THERE!" Derek shouted as he made his way to the stranger.


   Rose groaned as she began to slowly wake up, she quickly realized that she was in a small coffin made of some kind of stone. She attempted to push the lid of the coffin off and kept pushing until finally she was free, the moment the lid hit the ground the sides of the coffin both inside and out began to ooze blood until the entire divot the held Rose was filled to the brim with blood. She was slightly frightened, but her attention was swiftly shifted to sound of yelling in the distance. The moment she heard this, Rose ran to the source of the noise hoping to find answers to what's going on.

Jasper turned to the mysterious voice quicky in response, surprised someone else had actually come. "YOOO!!" He called back, walking towards the stranger. He approached with his hand out, smile on, and charm high. "Name's Jasper, fella. A pleasure to meet you. So how'd you end up here?"
 
   Derek quickly stopped as Jasper began walking towards him, he was calm but had his fist clenched and his guard up." I just woke up in a big stone coffin, pushed the lid off, fire shot out, and ended up here that's about it." Derek said cautiously," what about you?"


  Rose made it to the buildings and got closer to the voices she heard, when she reached the source she could see two guys standing in front of one another talking. Rose wished to survey them before meeting them, so she decided to hide in a large leafed bush and watched from afar.

Lowering his hand back to his side, Jasper sort of sagged his face. 'Goot it.' "Alright, buddy, if I have nothing else to call you. Well bud that's a bit of a long story so follow me over yonder to the camp fire. From here you'll see a circular layout of all the other cabins. This fire has been burning since I've been here and I haven't added anything to it ever." 


Jasper's description of the layout was more so underappreciated than not. The fire was of a decent size, a few bodies wide and high, and centered perfectly in a ring between the cabins and entryway. Around the pit of flames rested benches. There were 3 with a small gap between them wide enough to step though in sets positioned to angle in line perfectly with the cabins. Most of the structures were empty and still waiting for guests. Jasper set up his home in the cabin set that had the only life inside of it really. On one the benches angled in front of his cabins sat Jasper in his usual spot. 


"We're gonna have to go way waaay back for this one. I found this sort of camp many sunsets ago."


Nothing but trees could be seen for eternity. Various sized greenery. The hiss of snakes sang along the leaves. Rustling. Movement. These forest creatures were trying to escape what they thought was a predator, but it was only a man. He pushed his way through the life, seemingly going nowhere. 


"I walked for hours. Or what felt like. My feet had to have been hardened dry by now and my clothes were ripped and torn and wet in random uncomfortable places. At some point I thought to just turn due whatever location and pointed and just walk. And I did. Now it didn't lead me here, or anywhere near. But where it did take me was almost as amazing."


Jasper followed his westward direction he came to a sort of dune crater like hole. He could barely see the other side, it was so wide, and he knew knowing a rock to check depth was unnecessary. He could somewhat see the bottom from up here. 


"My first thought was, what the hell could make a hole in the earth so big? My second thought was, how big is the earth to take a hit like that as if it were nothing, you know? So of course I had to go investigate"


Jasper shook his head, vowing not in this world or the text to go anywhere near the crater and left. 


"I had to slide down the side of the hole. It was like a straight line that's how steep it was"


"Nope nope nope" And he turned back the way he came and just wondered a different direction.


"At some points man I almost had to RUN I was gaining so much momentum. And when I got to the bottom.... boy let me tell you this hole was DEEP. There was nothing down there anyways so I struggled to climb back out. I almost caused an avalanche and buried myself! I think escaping was worse than entering."


The sun rose and fell many more times, Jasper exhausted and deteriorating from such minor hydration and nutrition. Until one day he finally found the entrance, same as Derek.


"My face was a bulb of excitement and it was like I was fully recharged just seeing the place. I ignored the sign, the fire, everything. I ran into the first building I saw-" He pointed to the cabin set behind him "And devoured anything I could. I haven't left since, afraid I'd get lost. But you, coffin of fire... poetic to say the least"
 
   Derek followed Jasper as he spoke," I mean I guess I could see how one would see it as poetic in theory, but I gotta tell you getting out of it ain't that easy. I mean the damn thing was made out of some kind of stone so it was a bit of a pain getting out of." Derek replied as he sat on top of the bench next to Jasper.


    Rose continued to listen to Jasper and Derek talk when she heard them mention about the coffin Derek woke up in, when she heard this she immediately shot up and ran towards them," Hey you woke up in a coffin too!" she said as she swiftly made her way to the both of them.


  Derek turned his head as soon as he heard the voice, with surprise he said," wait...you woke up in a coffin made of stone as well? Ok this place keeps getting weirder and weirder by the minute." Derek then got off the bench as the girl got to both him and Jasper." What's your name?" Asked Derek," My name is Rose Fuil Halestorm, what are your guys names?" Rose replied hoping for answers to what's going on. " I'm Derek Iudex Gundyr and this is Jasper and I'm just as clueless about this whole thing as you too sweetheart." Derek exclaimed as he moved to sit upon the steps near the fire, he chose to sit there because while he couldn't understand it he felt his instincts draw him to the flames.


@DizjayDeathPride
 
Jasper turned quickly to the stranger on alert but drew back since she appeared to be friendly, for now. That's two. 'I know..' "We should do something about it." 'Or at least ask questions. "Jasper Black fully, Rose. Ive had bad experiences with roses. Please do be different. Nevertheless welcome to... I don't know. I never truly expected more people, let alone two in the same day." Jasper tapped his chin and let the thought of naming it reign in his mind. 


Derek moved closer to the flames and Jasper hmm'd at the action. Why would anyone want to be closer to fire and sweat? He thought to himself Whatever I guess


"Well as I told Derek, Rose, this fire pit sits center circle off all of these cabins. They're really more like campuses. We've already claimed the cabin behind me currently as mine. You two are welcome to any of the other rooms in any of the other buildings. There are 5 other rooms in my building but theyre locked for some reason. I noticed the others aren't and only mine was open. Coincidence? I think yes. The food hasn't expired yet. The fact there is food was mysterious enough. I assumed whomever stocked up would return but I've seen no such."


In a far dark patch of the forest, a few mile stretch where the trees had grown so tall and connected that not a light passed through them. This patch of endless pitch darkness was surrounded by a sort of cleared ring around what was no more than some yards lomg before entering the woods once more. The patch was lifeless. Predator and prey felt it instinctually wise to avoid entering the darkness. And yet, the dirt mid center was disturbed, from under. The pressed land rose a bit and relaxed. Pushed once more. Again. And then, broken. A hand pale, greyed-purple almost, reached out, felt around, got a firm hold, and began to lift itself out.


"Do any of you know how to cook? Like... better than 'Yeah just defrost this and throw in the oven at 350 and boil this potato' cause liiike..."

     Derek was focused on the fire he could feel it's warmth and energy not just in his hand, he felt it in his heart with its all consuming light and power he wished to be closer with it, to be one with it. Until he heard Jasper's question, both Derek and Rose turned and said," I know how to cook!" Rose was surprised at what Derek said and she began to already start seeing him in a different light.


   "I can cook anything and everything you can think of just name it and I can do it!" Rose boasted, as she made her way to the step towards Derek. Derek looked at the cabin the was directly in front of him past the fire," I'll take that cabin over there as mine, who ever wants to join me can just know I like being alone so don't disturb me unless you have to." He said as he began walking towards his new home for the time being.


     "I'll join you, but I'll check out the room in just a bit!" she said loud enough for Derek to hear her as he walked away, she then turned back to Jasper," so what's something you can do?" Rose asked curiously.


     Jacob woke up groaning in anger and confusion," Where in the mother dick am I!" he said trying to lift the lid of his coffin," Oh hell no I'm not going to be left to die in some stupid dip fuck of a coffin!" he shouted as he began to punch the lid of the coffin, as he continued to hit he grew more and more angry. Eventually he finally punched the lid so hard it flew off and crashed into the ground near by, and as Jacob stood up from his former prison he roared as loud as he could all while monstrous roars and screams of anger and dread bellowed from the coffin beneath his feet.

Jasper didn't have an immediate answer to her question. His mind was elsewhere, pondering Derek's fascination. It just wasn't normal. 'Not everything has a secondary meaning, you know?' She asked us a question. What CAN I do? "Well... I haven't had to do much so I don't know. I'm very well rounded. I'm more of the mental type than physical so I have a lot of capacity but very little product. I'd like to believe I'm a musician. Any special talents yourse-" He trailed off.


Silence strenches seamlessly, the air stale and settled. A leaf or two crunched under foreign pressure. Barely visible in the void darkness, clashing movement against the still trees, walked slowly a man. He wore a ripped grey and black stripped shirt. A torn and patchy black leather jacket. Jeans torn at the seams and knees. And he wore no shoes. His skin provided the only means of "light" since it were the only thing in the patch not blackened in darkness. He stepped slowly foot after foot, stumbling here and there as if he had just learned to walk. The man leaned against the forestry as he walked out. Almost instinctual where to walk and how to avoid the vineyards and overgrown roots. It was like this patch was his home and he decorated it as such so he knew where to avoid stepping. Through his eyes the forestry wasn't a patch of absolute black, but instead he could see the trees and the hanging leaves and the ground itself. He could see. It was as if this darkness didn't phase him. And when he finally emerged from the patch, the sunlight blinded his eyes as they quickly adjusted. His skin was a faded pale and rotten purple. His flesh peeled in some places, revealing the black meat underneath. His left cheek was falling off, hanging by strands. As he stumbled forward, the man ripped the cheek off painlessly, the injury beginning to drip a dark blood. He walked across the small ring clearing and into the forest. Something lured him closer, something his chest knew it must follow. He walked to the feeling as quickly as he could without over exerting himself.  


A beast bellows, shaking the leaves and causing birds to flock away. The roars only seem to grow in volume and magnitude. Whatever it was was extremely unhappy and, thankfully, sounded extremely far away. He looked in the direction the noise came from. Far on the other side of the forest peaked a mountain top. He figured whatever it was must live up there and to stay as far far away as possible. So he ventured forward towards the feeling.


Jasper stopped when he heard the roar and looked to its general direction. His mouth inaudibly spoke 'what the hell?' and he reached down to the ground, feeling the tremors it made. "What... is that?" 'Is it coming?' "No... I don't think so. It seems almost..." Contained.. "Yeah.." 


"Welp. I know I can't do THAT" Jasper added, dusting himself off. "If anything we should AVOID that. I'm putting the camp on secure lock down now. Jasper walked with authority, making his way to the gates to close them. He struggled to push one of the creaking giant wooden doors but once it began to move it was much easier. 


As he was closing the second, a hand grabbed the door. Pale. Rotten. Skin falling off. And it pulled itself inside, revealing a man that had looked almost... undead. Of course, Jasper screamed and jumped back, assuming this was the threat and ready to fight.


"Would you mind.. letting me s... stay here? For.. for a bit? Just.. to rest. And.. run from.. fro.. from that.... noise." He croaked out. The man's voice was so dry and cracked from lack of use for years on end, and some minor dehydration concerns. The camp guard he assumed picked him up under the shoulders, asking the other guard, Rose he called her, to help. He was passed to this Rose as the first guard closed the gates to this forest oasis. "Th... thank.. you" He forced out.


"Hey don't mention it man. Rose, come on. Let's take him to an empty room." Jasper led the way, guiding them to the NorthWestern most cabin. "Three."

Derek was too focused on the noise to worry about anything else, but he wasn't fearful of it he was curious, he wondered just want it could be for like when he felt drawn to the fire, he felt the same about the sound and even more so what made them." Looks like there's a lot more of us coming than you thought Jasper."


Rose was shocked at the sudden sound, but quickly shifted her attention to Jasper and the strange man that wandered into the camp. She ran as fast as she could to help Jasper," here let me help carry him to the room." she said throwing the man's arm over her shoulder, both her and Jasper lifted the man enough to move him, however his feet we dragging against the ground. Derek watched as they struggled to lift the new stranger," oh hell let me help you two!" Derek stated as he ran to them and picked up the man by himself taking the weight completely off of Rose and Jasper." Just show me the way to the room and let me worry about carrying him." He said looking to Jasper for directions.


Rose was surprised at Derek's actions, she wouldn't have thought that him of all people would come to help, she began to see him in a different light already, this sparked an interest in her for him and she will get what she wants.


After the roaring subsided Jacob began to crack his neck, back, and everywhere that felt tense on his body. "Jesus Christ how long was I in that damn thing, I feel like a freaking truck was laying on me. And now I don't know where in hell's shiny asshole I am, and I ain't got no food or water. I guess I better find either civilization or something that I can kill and eat. Or maybe just be the holy hell out of someone, that always makes me feel better." Jacob then jumped out of the coffin and began to wander around hoping to satiate this feeling that continues to grow more and more inside of him. After a little while of aimlessly wandering around, he finally caught a glimpse of buildings," oh hell yeah finally something that seems remote!" he began to sprint as fast as he could to the buildings hoping to find anyone or anything to fill the empty space in him.

Pain. He felt true pain. There would be no other word to describe the sheer agony he felt other than to call it what it was: Pain. The feeling of Jasper's and Rose's skin on his own rottened flesh seered like an iron branded upon him. When Derek lifted him off the ground, most near all of his consciousness escaped him


"I have the perfect room for him" 


were the last words he heard before he slipped once more into the numb darkness of his mind.


Jasper lead the trio, technically quad, to the purple stranger's new home. "Aren't you weirded out by that? His skin is... purple. It's peeling. His blood is black. HIS CHEEK! And youre just gonna let him STAY here?!" 'Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the color of his character.' "Wow... that was so profound. Did you think of that yourself?" "Martin Luther King." 'Jr to be exact.' "You replied outloud." Yeeeah... hoping they don't notice. "You think they didnt notice in the silence you just said... Martin Luther King?" 'Just ignore them if they ask questions.' Guys. Shut the fuck up. For like. A minute. Or two. Shut. T he fuck. U P.


Jasper opened the doors to the NorthWestern most building so Derek could carry them in, holding it for Rose of course. 'You know what was a good movie?' Jasper walked up the center steps, silent and refusing to speak. "Up?" He walked up to the fourth floor and down to the door similar to the stranger. 'Yeah actually. It's was such an emotional adventure. I felt truly connected to the old man through the whole experience.' The paint was obviously purple at some time. But age and isolation caused the door to lighten, it's paint to chip and peel in places. "Like when he went up? That was my favorite part" Jasper opened the door, massaging his slowly growing headache. 'Yeah! When he released the balloons and floated to freedom, the winds of time flushing his form with youth once more!' "Just throw him on the bed." Jasper said sternly and irritably, massaging his forehead. "I have other concerns." He walked out and slammed the door behind him, disappearing down the hall

Derek and Rose followed Jasper's directions until they got into the strangers new room," well this room is a bit weirder than I thought it'd be, I hope they're not all like this." " I don't know I like it, it suits this guy who ever he is that's for sure." They both turned when Jasper slammed the door," I wonder what's wrong with him." "It doesn't concern me and seems trivial to ask about it. He'll probably tell us when he's good and ready." Derek said as he set the stranger on the bed.


"You're welcome to stay here and wait for him to wake up or you can come with me or whatever." "Wait you're not gonna stay and wait for him to wake up?" " um...no why would I do that, that's redundant and I hate pointless things. Waiting for some random guy to wake up ain't exactly my idea of having fun, he'll wake up on his own time for now let's just give him time to rest." Derek made his way to the door, Rose considered what he said," hey I'm coming with you, just lead the way." Rose quickly got up and followed Derek out," alright just don't get on my nerves and I think we'll be fine together. I'm going into the woods, keep up if you can." " And why exactly are we heading into the woods right now?" " Do you remember that roaring we all heard earlier?" " Of course I do, how could anyone forget something like that, why you're not actually thinking of going towards that are you?" " Yeah...I am. I can't really explain it in a way you could understand, but I feel drawn to it and I have a feeling that when I do meet what ever the source is. It'll give me a fight I've been waiting a long time for."


@DizjayDeathPride
 
The rustic hinges creeeaked close behind their weight. The only light that illuminated the near barren room came from the the hall. With the source snuffed out, the light desperately creeping under the door and scratching the floor. Darkness filled both this man and now his room. Familiar.


A tiny black widow, no more than the size of a fingernail, slowly webbed its way down and dangled over his face before plopping down safely on his cracked, broken, dried lips. What's this? A visitor! We haven't had a visitor in so long! "Who is it, Angel?" Just a guest! He appears to be injured. A hand reached from under the bed, her beautifully manicured oxyx black nails effortlessly scratched the hard wooden floor as she tried to crawl out. The woman dusted herself off, ruffling down her dress. "It isn't that man running around like he owns the place." It's not Thomas either! "So you must have found the camp. Not surprising fate led you here. Look at you." She remained silent a moment as her little critter made its way familiar with his face. He was so... pale. Almost.. lavender. Purple periwinkle came to her mind and she chuckled. What's so funny,  Mommy? The insecure creature had grown accustomed to its mothers silence to its questons but it asked anyways to keep communication open. 


The woman sat beside the visitor, her long dark hair dangled down and the purple ends tickling his face. Her hand went to his cheek, the one gashed open, and hovered above it; she was afraid to touch it least it send him into a blind painful fury and her stealth would be ruined. She watched him sleep so peacefully. It was as if he were catching up on generations of REM he had missed. His hair was handsomely messy and his bone structure wasn't too shabby. We was, in every way, a very good looking host, even if injured. Her lips gently pressed his forhead, leaving the small imprint of her violet lipstick. Fitting, Mommy Her pet added, crawling from the stranger and into her masters hair, vanishing. 


The woman followed after the other two silently keeping up with them. She respectfully closed the door and tip toed after Derek and Rose. If she remembered they were going to the forest. It had been awhile since she had gone out. Like a splinter cell game, she crept down the stairs and out the door, making her way to the figures of Rose and Derek
 
Darkness... darkness... a shine of light burst through the black, and a silhouette was blocking it, his arms outstretched. Eren was almost drawn to it... but something told him to stay back... Don't go into the light... where had he heard of this before? He was confused... but he took the advice and turned away, walking the opposite direction of the silhouette. Not today... not today.


Eren woke up, looking up at the heavy vegetation above him. Trees all around him and leaves and branches all above him, blocking out most light from his body. He stood, looking himself over. He had a small cut on his left arm, and felt something liquid running down his face. Blood... What had happened to him? How did he get here? Too many questions are unanswered right now. He needed some help right now, and that would need priority. A small civilization out in the distance, barely visible through the treeline. If he could make it, maybe he could get some information about his current... situation. 


So, he set out towards the town, in hopes to figure out how he had ended up here... wherever "here" was...
 
Jezebel 
North-West Building, 3rd Floor Library


*Tic-Toc-Tic-Toc-Tic*


In a room filled to the brim with books, a lone woman sat on a chair. She folded one leg over the other as she peered over the table in front of her. The table, made of wood and covered with carvings so intricate that it must have been worth a fortune, wasn't the object of her concentration, however. Instead, it was the book sitting atop of it, opened about a quarter of the way through, that held her focus. With its spine on the table the book lay open, showing a depiction of a snake. If one was to believe the words written in the book (titled 'Reptile Encyclopedia Ⅳ), the snake had a body long enough to dwarf others of its kind.


After finishing the page the woman leaned back, a tail slithered off the chair and lifted to her eye-level, as if to present itself for inspection. Once it reached an appropriate height, she looked at it, then back to the picture in the book... Then, with a light sigh, the reptilian tail lowered to the ground. To an outsider, the scene might have looked like a large snake had presented its tail to her, allowing her to compare its traits to the snake in the book... But in truth, it was her tail that she was comparing to the snake.


"It's not this one either..." the young woman, Jezebel, muttered before closing the hefty book on the table with an audible *THNNK*. Pushing her chair back and taking a short stretch, a look of fatigue crossed over her face -- but only for a moment. After that split second, her expression changed to one of devotion, and she turned back to the encyclopedia.


*Tic-Toc-Tic-Toc -- DOOOoOOn, DooOOOon, DOOoo―*
"Nine already, is it?"


Standing from her chair, Jezebel shortly brushed off her elaborate coat and dress pants, straightening out any folds her tail might have caused while she was sitting, and made her way over to the door to the Library. [COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]Although she felt it was a bit of a waste, her investigation would have to wait for her to sate her hunger. [/COLOR][COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]What investigation, you ask? Why, the investigation of [/COLOR]what in the world she was[COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)] of course.[/COLOR]


[COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]About a week ago, Jezebel had woken up inside of this European-style building. At first she found herself inside of a room with a large window... Or, more accurately, she found herself inside of an egg inside of a room with a large window. Inside of the egg, she was covered with a mucous-like substance (which sounds appalling but was oddly comfortable) with a thin membrane protecting her from the outside. However, protective as it was, it protected her a bit too well, as she couldn't breathe. To fill her lungs with air, she pierced the thin, see-through covering and the soft shell, revealing herself (and the variety of viscous fluids) to the sun-filled room.[/COLOR]


[COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]To her, who looked to be an 18 year old Human, the experience was surreal... But the fact that she found it surreal was equally strange. She who looked like a human but was 'born' like a reptile was strange, yes, but the fact that she had been born knowing it was strange was... Odd, to say the least. With the knowledge she had from somewhere, however, she knew that delving too deep into the subject of 'where did I learn this?' would take far too long. Instead, she decided it was best to pursue information regarding what she was. While the possibility was slim, she figured that she could have been part of a race with inherent knowledge, after all. [/COLOR]


[COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]After washing herself off in a personal bathroom (using cleaning tools she couldn't have possibly known about, but were strangely familiar) she covered herself in clothes that were inside of her room's closet (whose sizes were perfect for reasons she didn't understand) and looked around the building, searching for someone or something to explain her existence. For nearly an hour she simply looked around, but on the 3rd floor she found something capable of answering her questions (at least in theory): the Library. Since then, Jezebel had been reading books non-stop, comparing her reptilian tail to others in hopes of finding a human-snake hybrid like herself. She took breaks only when necessary (a practice that oddly didn't stop her tail from growing by the day), and slept only when the sun dropped (as the cold temperatures made her limbs too leaden to continue her investigation). [/COLOR]


[COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]Today as well, Jezebel was comparing her tail to the variety of creatures listed in the Library's Encyclopedias... But for now, she needed to eat. And so, she headed for the Kitchen on the 1st floor.[/COLOR]

Jasper sort of blinked a few times to process that concept but figured if it makes sense to him and just scavenged around for the jar. Given poor directions from the vocal support, he eventually found the jar hidden under the cabinet behind a very large tub of lard. "Jackpot" He said aloud, coming from under the counter with a sort of hand crafted ceramic jar painted homesy and written "Cookies Jar" that, upon a third or so glance, actually.. made sense now. 


@Ensig


Jasper took the jar to the small cut by the sink and proceeded to round up the other necessities. He figured grabbing a soda out of the Northern building wouldn't be too devestating and a quick snack wouldn't deplinish their resources... aaanymore than his neighboring huts.. a sandwich just couldn't hurt. Grabbed some bread, some meat, sauces, lettuce, a cheese or two, and maybe this here pickle. He quickly went to work preparing his quick meal 
 
Eren walked through the field, towards the town. He looked at the blood running down his arm, but something was strange. It wasn't dripping, only sliding down and stopping near his fingertips. He could feel it, he could see it... but it didn't leave him. He shrugged it off for now and continued, and stopped at the edge of the village. He was between 2 huts, with nothing but a road in front of them. He walked to the road and stopped, looking around. He needed some help if he was to leave this place, but who was he to ask? Many villagers were looking at him and quickly walking away, covering their children's eyes as they left. Eren was hurt, he was nothing to be afraid of... was he? Why were they fleeing at the sight of an injured man? He was confused, but he needed help. But who would help him now?
 
Derek continued further and further into the woods towards the source of the noise, while Rose followed him on his journey." Are you sure you want to come with me?" "Yeah I'm sure, it's better than just waiting around a camp with not very many people there. So going with you sounded a lot better." " Alright just remember not to annoy me otherwise you might as well go back to camp." Derek was walking when a new sound broke the silence, out of nowhere a new stranger sprinting towards them. Derek is then tackled by the stranger, they rolled and tumbled out the incline of the patch of forest around them. When they hit the end of the slope the stranger was found on top of Derek, he then began to punch Derek in the face while yelling," TELL ME WHERE THE HELL I AM, TELL ME! TELL ME! TELL ME!" Rose ran to catch up to them as fast as she could all while Derek blocking most of the shots until he got the opportunity to knock the stranger off of him, Derek kicked the stranger off and they both got up Derek asked,"What the hell is your deal guy?" " You're going to tell me just where in the holy shit fuck I am right now, or I'm going to rip out your heart!" " hey I don't know anymore than you do jackass!" " Will both of you guys just stop it this doesn't solve anything." hey what's your name girl?" " my name is Rose." " That's a pretty hot name you got there. What what about sunshine?" " My name is Derek Iudex Gundyr" " Well now if we're going with formalities then I might as well tell you my name, The names Jacob Riser Augus. A pleasure to meet you two!" Jacob said in a sarcastic like tone while he bowed to the both of them," Now that that's taken care of, I'll tell you what Derek. I'll believe you and listen to you, but only if you beat me in a fight!"


Rose was shocked at what Jacob said," What the hell dude that doesn't make any--" "HEY!" Derek yelled interrupting Rose," You don't speak for me, while yes I find a lot of things pointless, but a fight is something I never turn down. I accept your terms I will show you what I can do if you show me what you got!" " That's funny I was gonna tell you to bring your A game too!" as those last words were uttered they both raced at one another and began to go blow for blow,one after another constantly smashing their fists into each other, Derek punched Jacob's jaw enough to feel it as if it broke, Jacob then kicked Derek in the gut hard enough to take his breath away. Soon they began to read one anothers moves and could read what they were going to do next, this lead to them clashing their fists against each other over and over, occasionally hitting the other in the face.


Rose was interested in seeking them fight so she sat on a rock nearby but far enough to get hurt by either of them. She thinks to herself just who will win,' I'll pu my money on Derek for now, hope he doesn't dissapoint me.' Rose thought to herself as she continues to watch. Hopeful that her champion shall win.
 
"Come and creep low my children" Jade whispered on the tip tongue, lips ever slightly moving. YES MA'AM! They cheered back. Jade kept a safe far distance from the two strangers. Why had they dropped this man off and just... left? And how do they know the man 'in charge?' It was all getting too twisted for her to keep straight on what was what anymore. Her steps were without weight, gently landing on the earth and careful not to disturb what already lay. 


When they all stopped due to such a.. forceful entrance, she too stopped and kept her distance. Jades hair and attire blended well with the dimness of the forest and worked to keep her hidden. As they exchanged blows however, she only shook her head. After awhile she lost track of who's who and just sat to watch.

Jezebel 
North-West Building: 3rd Floor Library → 1st Floor Kitchen


 
​


'Once I'm finished down here, I'll need to complete that book... Although it's a bit disheartening, there'll only be one more Reptilian Encyclopedia afterwards, so perhaps I should consider the possibility of being a mammal?'
​


 
​


Such were the thoughts Jezebel had as she descended the stairs of the 1st Floor, her brows furrowing slightly as she thought of just how much longer it would take to figure out what she was. The search had begun 5 days ago, but she hadn't even caught a hint about her identity. That being the case, it was only natural for her to become a bit irritated out of impatience. 
​


 
​


'Maybe it would be better to explore the outside a bit more?' she thought, mulling over the possibility of finding a non-paper being with answers. She hadn't met anyone these 5 days since her 'birth', but she had tried to find people on the 1st day. Unfortunately, the outside was silent to the point of being eerie when she had, so after a short look about she concluded that there was a higher chance of finding one of her kin inside of the mansion. A short while later she found the wellspring of knowledge found in the Library, so she had stayed inside since then. Now, with the possibility of the Library not being able to answer her queries, she once again considered the outside world.
​


 
​


"... I'll think about it more once I've eat...en?"
​


 
​


With her last word dropping off near the end, Jezebel arrived at the Kitchen. The reason for her odd behavior of speech was the being a small ways away: a man. A man stealing her food.
​


 
​


"Hey, you. What do you think you're doing?" she asked. If her words were 'icy' then surely her glare was 'Absolute Zero' as she scowled at the man. Much like the moment a snake eyed up an unfortunate mouse before making its attack, Jezebel started thinking about whether to let the man explain, or whether she should simply attack and immobilize him. Her tail, transforming her irritation of being stolen from into physical movement, slithered lightly with a *SSssshhhsshh* as it made contact with the ground.

Julian had woken up all prepared for the day as he would everyday but it was different. It was dark, wet, and narrow. He realized he was in a cave and lost. "Damn it seems something is wrong." He reached into his coat and pulled out his pocket watch that he couldn't see. He put it back glad to know it was there. He then reached for the other pocket and pulled out a blade the size of his forearm. He had always had it and was sharp enough to cut into anything that wasn't like literal steel or something. It made cooking a dream. He started walking in the direction he woke up in and headed to the entrance if the cave. He passed by countless rocks while walking in silence. When he made it out he saw trees for miles and a clearing with some sort of civilization. He walked down into the forest heading that direction.

Every part of the sandwich came together like perfection. The rise and folds of the meat and lettuce were perfectly symmetrical in their woven patterns. The sauce dropped from the edges; just enough to juice the delicacy, but not enough to drown or overpower it. Chips laid neatly along the sides of the sandwich to complement. Jasper held the plate between two hands and turned to Rose. "I'm making a sa-sa-sa-sa" He trailed off, dropping the plate of food on the ground, frozen in absolute terror at what stood before him. "HOLY FUCKING SHIT HOLY FUCKING SHIT HOLY FUCKING SHIT HOLY FUCKING SHIT HOLY FUCKING SHIT HOLY FUCKING-" Played on and on in his head. 'That isn't helping you know?' "HOLY FUCKING SHIT HOLY FUCKINGSHITHOLYFUCKINGSHITHOLYFUCKINGSHITHOL" 'Ooookay you're clearly not the source of reason right now. Jasper bud, stop staring' This was not Rose. This was DEFINITELY not Rose. Unless Rose grew horns. And a tail... Jasper's eyes, frozen wide, trailed down the beings form, and all along her tail. He was so paralyzed with fear that had she made move and he would had fallen all over himself. 'Seriously. You can't keep star-' 


"Hi my name i-I-is Jasper. Ja..Jasper Black. A.. A pleasure" Lucifer managed past the frozen man's locked... Everything. He extended a shaky hand to her in hopes of coming off as peaceful as possible while taking a step over the mess he had made as if it were never there
 
Far within the woods, deeper south from the camp, closer to the lake, and in a small gutted entrance on the side of young low mountain. This wouldn't be the first likely spot to find a sleeping boy. Less so would you have expected the echoing noise that rang off the walls and sonic boomed out the entrance of the cave to pre warn anyone who dare step near the cave. The sound could be compared to steam escaping a tea pot long past due. The culmination of varying sized snakes mixing their hisses, almost communicating. Why had they found themselves almost raising a human boy and why hadn't they eaten him? They didn't want to. The path these nearby snakes where all on has been interrupted upon this boys arrival many moons ago. The reptiles felt an innate emotion to care for and rejuvenate him over harming him. They couldn't help themselves.


After years and many rotten foods gone untouched, the boys eyes finally fluttered and his limbs finally twitched with a jolt of life running through him. Slowly his breathing became more alert, as did he
