Fantasy Murder: The Shadow's Grip

[La Muerte]

"Holy shit!" Adain jumped and dropped the bottle of vodka, "I didn't," he paused thinking, "at least I don't think I saw a clock tower."

 

[Verite]

DING DONG! a loud clock tower bell could be heard through out the town, it came from all directions so it was almost impossible to know where the sound came from. There was clearly no clock tower in this town.

Huh?! What was that?! I swear, I must be hearing things... but that was definitely a loud bell! But that's preposterous! This is New York! Only clock towers are in England! JoJo thought to himself, startled from the sudden loud noise. In alarm, he ran out of the diner, looking around for what could have possibly made the noise. Something was definitely not right here.

Arya frowned and looked down at the ground.
She was confused about this.


"A bird can't swim on the ocean..." she said to herself.


What part of a bird could possibly swim?


Maybe it was a special sort of bird, magical or something.


No, it had to be much simpler than that.


She thought of something and smiled.


"It's water... water is like a mirror... it reflects...


Is it its... reflection?"

The sphinx smiled at the child, its eyes still glowing white.


"Incorrect. Try again child."

// our group was feeding Molly's animals when Slender put us all in a dark place where he was giving us traumatizing nightmares for the rest of our lives, but we got saved by a white wolf who transported us back to the camp, where we all went to sleep and woke up here, you can read the update for that xD  

The sphinx smiled at the child, its eyes still glowing white.
"Incorrect. Try again child."

Arya gave a frown, she was sure that answer was correct.


She gave it some more thought, and finally looked back up at the sphinx.


"Shadow." she said, short and simple with a grin on her face.

"Correct." said the sphinx, white mist seeped from its eyes, and into the air in front of the child. "You have one wish child, but do not try to return home, magic haves its limits, and i suggest you do not push past them."

Arya's eyes widened at the word 'wish'.


"A wish...?"


She then frowned, thinking it was a sort of trick.


"I suppose I can't just wish for more wishes...?"


// brb, eating dinner for a while (:

"That is correct." Answered the sphinx.

ROUND TWO:


12 pm EDT 8/13 to 12 pm EDT 8/14



​

The scavengers manged to make it back, all alive but Dany. A small child joined them, and arrived as they did, only, they were empty handed, it seemed that the camp was still in need of food. The group of three that went with Sally arrived at the gates monuments before sundown, the gates sealed behind them. It all seemed to be a happy ending to a horrible day, but it wasn't, it was just the beginning. The night was cold and still, survivors slept, others were up and about, some guarding, some reading, others doing things no one cared about. Everything was normal, or what was normal now a days, it wasn't until The Doctor discovered Annie's body that the camp saw the amount of danger everyone was in. Annie was bent over her desk, her head hanging over the egad, showing a horrified expression. Her feet were pinned to the floor in front of it, and her back layed flat on top. A spare was drove through her chest, and a bite was on her wrist, was she bit? It didn't matter, she was dead now, she wouldn't turn. The Doctor told the camp the news, and a panic shot through it, there leader was dead, and the whole camp was to diversed to deiced on a new leader, or even who did the deed. The survivors eventually went to sleep, everyone needed the sleep, so no one guarded the gates. Only, survivors awoke to something far different then they expected. It looked to be a small town. A single survivor was in a home, one with a appearance from their world or time. When leaving there homes, the survivors saw a large white ceiling high above them. A long blacktop road went down what looked like a neighborhood, it was lined with sidewalks on both sides. Two streets cut off left and right, both leading into a large circle and reconnecting. The center of the circle held a large town park, it was rather just a empty fled with picnic tables. The two curved streets held government buildings such as a Police station, Fire station, Grocery store, and many small shops. Every building had electric, and running water, gas, everything that was lost before the Apocalypse. It was as if the apocalypse never did happen.


(Start posting! Sorry for the horrible small round two! I think it's decent for what I want and need to happen. Along side the choice event's I think everyone will like this round.)

Wrong. This was wrong. Even as far as home went, all of this was very, very wrong. The people he had been with just the previous night were also here --which meant that whatever did happen back there was certainly real. It seemed that even in this place someone liked playing head games. It may not be the Marker, but someone certainly wanted to lull the survivors into a false sense of security.


Not good. Instead, Isaac left to seek out those he knew well enough --the space marine Octavian, and Blake.

OOC: oh boi dis gun b gud


Eventually, JoJo's search would lead him to the fire station. Stopping there, he continued to scan the area, wondering what that mysterious noise was.

 

[dalecoOoOoOper]

Unknowing of the situation, Doc and Donut decided to stick close to whoever the leader was "Oh god, I feel like i'm gonna be sick..."





CUT TO PLANET CHORUS





Grif was trying not to find a way to help Donut and Doc, laying down on one of the New Republics bed, eating, what else? A donut. Tucker came in "Hey, fucknugget, where's Doc and Donut?" Grif looked at Tucker and shrugged "Weeeell, Tucker, if you must know, I threw one of my Future Cubes at them and then POOF! They're gone, into an abyss of the unknown!... They surely won't be missed..." Grif replied rather boringly. "I swear to god Grif, I'm going to kill you."





CUT BACK TO EARTH





"So ehm... W-Where are we... Alli? Ellie? I don't suppose you'd tell me..."


@RainbowWave

 

[pochiko]

Blake jolted awake from the sound of the seemingly omnipresent bell tower, sitting up on her bed. Sunshine seemed to shine down kn her through the window next to her. She grasped her chest, trying to calm down her panicked breathing. A surprise wakeup was the last thing she needed after a long scavenging trip, a fruitless one, as well...


Her scared eyes scanned the room around her, with the fear in her notable orange-amber eyes being replaced with a look of confusion. She was back in her modern house, somehow. Black and white checkered floors, black ceiling, white walls. She jumped off the bed and made her way downstairs. Sleek simplistic furniture decorated her living room, just as it was before the virus outbreak. She mouthed "what the fuck?" as she ran her hand over all the familiar objects. Everything was real... no illusions.


She proceeded to the kitchen and turned the faucet. Running water. Blake opened her dishwasher. Even the dishes were still there, right where she usually stores them. She gazed out of the window and looked outside. Green grass on the lawns, residential houses that haven't seen the apocalypse lined the area around her. What happened to the destructive ruins of City 102? This was not right, but it was oddly comforting to her, as well. She hasn't seen her house in so long, having spent years in the field. Blake decided to leisure herself for once, live life just as she had before the war. She tossed her outfit into her dishwasher and made her way upstairs and proceeded to have a relaxing warm bath. An elaborate trap or not, she wanted to take advantage of this before their makeshift group of survivors got in trouble. Trouble was always bound to happen again.

Isaac continued to look for those he would consider his closest comrades. The issue was, he didn't know which house belonged to which survivor. So, he searched as hard as he could. He asked around, and even went so far as to call of them. Something was fishy --of course-- but he had a bad feeling about it, worse than he had about anything here so far. Calm before the storm, was that not the saying?


"Octavian? Blake?" He called, he figured he was in the generally correct area given the process of elimination. He'd talked to quite a few other survivors already.

"I'm going to get my wish then find out what made me lose my vodka." He got up and stumbled up the stairs to shower off and change clothes. Being as inebriated as he was he looked for hours he look through the closet find clothes that he knew he owned but wasn't sure that they were real to try every single one of them on. And he did and decided on black jeans with rips and his white tank top that said "I Tried To Pray To God But I'm To Busy Getting Paid."


He grabbed his pistol and made his way to the park where he noticed the sphinx earlier. He fell three times and stumbled the whole way there.

[JayJay]

Arya thought about her wish for a long time.


Finally, she spoke up.


"I wish... I wish for you to make a wish."


Arya thought it must be lonely, only speaking in riddles to everyone you meet.


She felt bad for the sphinx.


"My wish is yours."

Wow. That's deep.

Slenderman stood there, watching. No one could see him, not even the children. He manged to fend of the Wolf Of Life for only a monument or two, the beast tore through his tentacles with force stronger then any he could conjure. A bite to his leg brought him to his knee, and the Wolf Of Life was ready for its killing blow, she charged her razor sharp teeth towards Slenderman's throat, only to be stopped when a dagger flew into her side, pricing her lung and knocking her from her feet. The wolf landed with a thud!, her long white fur becoming tainted with red blood from the wound. She lied on her side, tears flying her blue eyes. It was a fantastic site for Slender man, he wanted to smile, but of course, he couldn't. Looking to his savor, Slednerman almost jumped for joy,

It was eyeless jack! Slenderman only approached the being, and with a touch of him, they were gone. Now Slenderman was standing on the roof of the police station, and he was unsure were eyeless jack was.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Eyeless jack stood silently in the hallway of a black and white haired women's house, all he wanted was to gut the women and play with her organs, but he knew if he could scare the her, he would revive more pleasure. He watched from the hallway as she dropped her clothes, and dipped into the bath, Eyeless jack wasn't one for naked body's, unless he was skinning them. Now he couldn't even smile! He missed that the most, but he was happy to be back from the neither realm.

Blake let out a relaxing sigh. The warm water on her skin was a soothing and welcoming feeling for the elemental soldier. She lathered her body with soap while listening to her favorite rock tunes, humming quietly to herself as she bathed.
"Octavian? Blake?" a masculine voice from outside called. Blake sat up from her bathtub. She recognized that voice from anywhere. Isaac! She quickly got up from the bathtub and hastily wrapped a towel around her body. She headed downstairs and swung open the front door. Isaac was in the middle of the street. Sje was so happy to see him still OK. Blake waved and called out to him, a smile plastered on her face. "Isaac! I'm over here!"
