The Prologue will last from 11 pm EDS 8/10 to 11 pm EDS 8/11
It didn't take Ellis and Annie long, they were at the ruins of the survivor camp that perished the previous night, and it was a bloodbath. It must of been sixty, seventy body's, all were torn into, muscles exposed, and missing large chucks of flesh. Most of their blood splatter against the walls, or the floor, it was as if The Shadows played in their victims blood. The building was large and had two levels, and it looked to be a large grocery store, the twins eventually found it to be empty, and After long hours of moving the body's and burning them, and scabbing of the inner building, Annie and Ellis set a large signal fire, alerting any of survivors of there whereabouts. It took a few mouths at the least, but people eventually joined, Annie guessed it was the increase of security, the large building had 11 foot tall fences guarding it, and barbwire siting atop of it and it's fences. 43 people were in the camp now, and it was only getting bigger. Except, it wasn't only that, the camp needed repairing, some rooms still needed cleaning and clearing, food and Ammo was running low, and a new camp of survivors have been discovered in the forest behind the grocery store, they had sent a carrier informing the camp of their arrival, and it was unclear of the groups intention. Not only that, more of The Shadows have been attacking during the night, and it was becoming a serious threat. The morning sun shines in the embrace of another day of an empty city. but for whatever reason, you were here, and you had to survive, so will bid together, or tear each other apart? Ellis and Annie stood at the metal plate from, it was near the top of the gate and spared along side all of it, and wide enough for four or give people to stand guard. Through the chain-lick fence Annie could see The Shadows for at least a mile, and the small two doors cars dotted around them, some were crashed, others had their back sides smashed in, or the passenger door in-caved. Trash covered the once beautiful stone and metal landscape, and replaced it with newspapers, garbage and plastic. The infected just walked, bumping into mail boxes, cars, and even one another. They just watched everyone, looking up from the ground for a few seconds, then shooting their heads back down. Annie frowned, and pulled her her brother down the thin 2x4 ramp. The blacktop parking lot was cold, and it was only getting colder, it was near the end of August, and almost the beginning of September, and winter would become in harsh snow storms. Pulling on the sliver handle, Annie and Ellis walked inside, a small room exposing a new view. It was filled with tubes, and vile's and papers scattered everywhere, it was like it was untouched by the meaning of clean.
It was a man in a dressing room, he was laying chest exposed, a women with pitch black skin digging her hands into his stomach wound, which appeared to look as if it was clawed its way in. The women only ate flesh she caught, and tore more and more from the man till he was almost barren, and drained of blood. The was day one, and it only spared from there. The global virus only went on to infect more people, states, and country's, even traveling across Poseidon's sea to reach the far lands of the North. Governments fell in a matter of three days, bands of survivors formed, many fighting over the resources remaining. Except, that was not the only thing they fought, the infected came to be known as The Shadow's, due to their pitch black skin. The insanity caused the infected to lose the touch of humanity, and the craving for living flesh didn't help either. The Shadow's were also mute, the virus cased the infected to lose their voice box, and cause their intelligence to drop. Only at night did they grow faster, and regain more intelligence then they ever had. The Liewell continent lied blanketed in infected, it's 103 states in ruins, and it's monarchy gone. Survivors still kicked, but as time went on, less and less fought for survival in a crumpling world, eventually the survivor population was 2% of the world's 22 billion. However, The shadow's did not fight humanity and its futuristic weaponry, but also humans who welded one of the elements, and magical beasts and items within it.
Time can move in a blur,`
Two years after the outbreak.
It was a cold Monday night, the trees have lost all their autumn leafs, and were prepared for the incoming winter, unlike Ellis and Annie. Ellis searched desperately through racks of thin sweaters, the store was picked clean of winter coats, scarfs and even gloves. It was truthfully the emptiest store Ellis & Annie have seen in awhile, making the young boy only look harder. Annie was dancing fire In her palms like normally, keeping light for her brother. “Nothing!” Shouted Ellis, his hands grabbing onto the cart's long slender sides, and throwing it over, causing a loudcash! The sound bounced a little throw the small store, and would alert anything outside, if the amount of light already didn't.
“Brother, we need to hurry, you just did the dumbest thing, come on!” shouted Annie, she was becoming increasingly frustrated with her brother, The Shadows have been becoming increasingly smarter at night, not mentioning their incredibly speed boost during this time. Extinguishing the flames in her hands, Annie grabbed her brother's arm, and pulled him quickly towards the back of the store. The stores back was just as empty, and the darkness didn't help Annie search for a way out, but the dim moonlight exposed a broken door, laying flat of the ground, as if The Shadows tore it from its hinges. The siblings went through the broken door, and was left in a dark back ally. Annie released her brother, and drew her hand back, whipping it across his face in angry, and strong force.
“Your a idiot!” Shouted the young 14 year old girl, her face was blooming dark red, and her pacing back and forth only scared Ellis more.
“You don-”
“No! I fucking understand, your dumb and wanna get us killed!” screamed Annie, her voice was getting louder and louder with every word, and the silent night only took in the uncommon noise. It didn’t take long, maybe it was due to all the noise, or the amount of light, Ellis & Annie was unsure, and truthfully it didn't matter, they were now surrounded by 60 pairs of red eyes, and more could be hiding.
“How dare you say I’m stupid, Look what happen now!” shouted Ellis, his pace backing him into his sisters back, as she did the same.
“It was going to happen at one point, they started to track us.” Replied Annie, her dark green eyes scanning the area for anymore of The Shadows, it was hard to even see where they stood, the infected skin blurred with the night, and the lack of light never helped.
“What do we do?” worryingly asked Ellis, his head looking from left to right, dreading every pair of red eyes that stood around them.
“We do what we always do, we fight.” answered Annie. It was like the night striked Annie, the force made her brother slide to the side of her back before turning, while Annie was quickly pinned to the ground, Even as the Shadow held Annie’s arms, she still could see barely see the infected expect its beating red eyes, its weight was sitting on her stomach, and its hands were tightly gripping her wrists, trying to slam them into the blacktop parking loot. Ellis manged to grab his long thick slender blade from his pocket, only to have a heavier force clipped onto his back, the Shadow's arms wrapped around Ellis’s neck, desperately trying to pull him onto his back. Ellis no longer was looking at his sister, but was was elbowing the Shadow, or where he guessed the Shadow was. Ellis used his free hand to try to pier The Shadows arms from around his neck, only as his lack of oxygen increase did he finally lift his blade, and forcefully stabbed it into The Shadows arm, causing it to let go, and fall to the black parking lot. The Shadow must of closed it eyes, because Ellis was unable to see it, so he turned, seeing his sister still in her struggle Ellis bolted for her, and as Ellis did the infected was kicked off, and Annie stood, sending a fireball into the Shadows face, killing it. Ellis stood only a couple of feet from his sister, she was looking to the eyes still around them, it seemed the amount have increased while they were fighting, and the eyes just sat there, staring.
“What do we do Annie?” asked Ellis, his voice was wavering, and his tone held more fear then ever before.
“I'm not sure, this isn't normal for them, they outnumber us, they should be attacking.” finally replied Annie, her eyes focused on the ground, and her thumb and pointer finer on her chin.
“They could be weaker then the others, or maybe their waiting for something?” Annie held no real answer, so was so unsure, her study of the Shadows have been going so well, until the last few mouths. A loud BOOM! shot through the air, and a rather large group of screams could be heard in the distance, the red eyes looked behind them and to Ellis & Annie, as if they were debating to leave the two pray and join the other fellow Shadows for the purging of the survivor camp. Luckily for the twins, they left, gone in a intestine just as they appeared. Both Ellis & Annie lost their tension, and looked to one another, a slight smile on their lips. Upon looking at both their faces, it was observed that they were happy about surviving the attack, but not the fate of the survivors.
1.) Warning to everyone, you will be very bored if you do not find someone to interact with. I suggest finding a partner(s) before the Role Play starts, or to find one or more on the first day. If you do not find one, I will suggest players.
2.) To make sure no one is ignored, I highly suggest you skim over other people's post. You don't necessarily have to read it all, but look for your character's name! Someone may want to talk to you or interact.
3.) If you're a traitor, all kills are done via PM, and after the collaboration of your fellow traitors as to who to kill. In no way are you allowed to tell what your role is to anyone, doing so will result in immediate expulsion from the Murder event. Oh, and one final thing, if you're a traitor: Pray you aren't caught, lest you be subject to the mercy of the players. There will be 4-6 traitors.
4.) If you're not aware, if you're sentenced to die by a traitor via PM... it's an insta-death! But don't fret! Once you die, there's 3 alternatives!, There plots will be told once the first player death occurs, and eventually, you'll find your way back to the players!
5.) There will be moments where I ask players not to post; this is usually before large updates or mid-round updates. Please comply.
6.) No god modding please.
7.) Please try to be active. You don't have to dedicate hours on in to this game, it literally lasts a mouth or less, so you're in it for the long-run. If you can post once a day, that's perfectly fine... but, of course, the more posts, the better understanding of the story.
