Fantasy Murder: The Shadow's Grip

[SirDerpingtonIV]

Blake let out an "oof" as she was knocked off her feet by Octavian's joke punch. She gracefully flipped herself upright midair and then hovered, both her palms facing the ground as she used her magic to push herself off the ground with strong gusts of air.
"Damnit, Octavian!" she laughed. "I'm the only one that gets to do that!"


She followed Octavian and Isaac to the war machine's house, and then settled herself on its front steps. She looked around at the neighborhood surrounding them. Not many people around. "What's this 'Lasgun' you mentioned earlier?" Blake asked, keeping an eye out for anyone else of interest.


@Delayinder @SirDerpingtonIV

"Oh! Sorry!" he said, chuckling, as she held herself in the air with her magic. For a moment there, he had forgotten he was a genetically modified badass in a giant suit of Power Armor. For a minute, he felt............ normal. "Fine with me," he said, chuckling.


He headed inside his house, looking around. It looked exactly like it did before. He entered his room, finding the green metal cabinet, and opening the door. He reached inside, and grabbed the barrell of his old Lasgun. He carried it like that, back outside, to Blake. He handed her the weapon. "This is a Lasgun," he explained. "It is an energy based laser weapon, standardly used by the Imperial Gaurd. It got me through many battles, and I assure you, that it can get you through this," he said.

"Although it doesn't have bullets, or clip,s it has a power pack," he said, indicating the thing that looked like a clip. "It has around 150 shots per pack, and I have 2 extra." he said, handing her the extra power packs as well.

Isaac stood on the opposite side of Blake. He didn't mind normal, friendly conversation --but he was paranoid still. Those monsters could come at any moment --and who was to say that the 'announcer' was not lying? That they wouldn't send all of them instead? Isaac resisted the urge to heave a sigh. He kept an eye on their exposed flank as they walked, waiting for them to arrive at the Space Marine's home.


Isaac himself would feel better when he had the line gun and disc ripper added to his arsenal. At least he could make a few more clever traps and ambushes with those. He felt oddly protective today --not exactly uncommon, but he hadn't expected to let himself get as attached to people again. Not after Nicole, Ellie, and all his other dead team members.


Octavian... well, maybe he wasn't exactly protective of him, but there was a certain camaraderie he felt there. Blake he was protective of, and for the life of him Isaac could not figure out why. Maybe if he gave it more thought he could figure out, but he could not risk the wasted brain power until all was safe.


'You'll let them die! They'll abandon you! Failure! Burnout!' Nicole's words --no, the Marker's words invaded again. Isaac didn't listen. He may have been paranoid but he was not crazy, the Marker would not get the best of him.

Blake continued to scan her surroundings for any other survivors or monsters, but she soon gave up the idea of finding anyone else. The neighborhood was eerily quiet, with not a breeze shaking the grass and trees. Blake could have sworn she heard voices off in the distance, but she passed it off as wishful imagination. If the weak ones could survive an exploding supermarket, they could survive in an elaborate town on their own.
Growing bored of waiting for Octavian to gather his gear, she turned her attention to Isaac. Even in his armor, the way that he carried himself - his posture - in combat or not, he always seemed prepared and ready. She grinned to herself. That was a skill that Blake's old military unit didn't posses nearly enough. She looked up and down his bloodied armor and tried to picture the person within. What is his skin color? What was his face like? How toned were his muscl-


She buried her face in her hands, hiding her blush. Now was not the time to think about such things.

"Oh! Sorry!" he said, chuckling, as she held herself in the air with her magic. For a moment there, he had forgotten he was a genetically modified badass in a giant suit of Power Armor. For a minute, he felt............ normal. "Fine with me," he said, chuckling.

Blake turned around and stood up just as Octavian walked out of his house. He hoped he didn't see what she was doing.
"Energy based laser weapon, huh," she repeated, taking the impressive weapon into her small hands. Her eyes glazed over the Lasgun. Dull color, but looks didn't matter in battle. It was a big heavy, but it was nothing she couldn't carry. She propped up the weapon in her arms and looked down what she assumed was the weapon's iron-sights. "Sounds like something from a sci-fi movie," she happily remarked, pocketing the power packs as well. "Thank you for the Lasgun, Octavian. A bit unwieldy for a person like me - I don't think I can use my air powers while holding it - but it feels good to have a back-up weapon again!"

Laughing jack smiled, his razor sharp teeth becoming exposed. His pointed nose moved with him, his body tipping forward and back as he rocked. Laughing jack let out a dreadful chilling giggle as he rocked to the tip of his toes and back to the his heals. Laughing jack lifted his hands and turned them as he viewed his long slender black fingers, they were sharper then any blade he ever seen or touched, and they were nice for tearing through flesh and armor. Turning his pale face, he looked to Eyeless jack, and let out a usual laugh.


"muhahahaha..." started Laughing jack, his eyes dancing between Eyeless jack and the street below them. The two were atop the police station, and Slenderman was no where to be seen, or detected.


"Are we ready brother?" asked Laughing jack, his voice harsh and almost having a happy tone to it. Eyeless jack just stood there, his foot placed on the edge of the police station, and his gaze overlooking the streets of the town. After what seemed to be hours, the teenager replied.


"Yes....I will lead them here, stay hidden, and kill the strong first." said eyeless jack as he took another step, dropping from the buildings roof and onto the blacktop below.

Isaac kept his back to Blake, watching out for anything that might be coming from the sector he was responsible for. He had no idea what Blake was thinking about him, though if he had he might have been flattered. Last person to think of him in such a way was Ellie, and... she wasn't with him anymore.


When Octavian returned from his home with the lasgun, Isaac listened to his explanation. It sounded like a fesible weapon --like the pulse rifle from back home. Though an actual bolt of focused energy reduced range, but increased firepower as opposed to the longer range but lesser firepower of a pulse rifle.


"Ok, let's hit my house real quick. Whatever you do though, don't get sidetracked."

Tyler sat up in a panic, his pale hands sliding across his silk sheets, and that's when his eyes shot open. He was in his room! Animal coats hanged on the walls, paintings and glass sat next to one another on his hand craved wooden tables. Tyler stood, his gaze darting between everything inside the room, everything was so....perfect. Tyler bolted for his door, and ran down his marble steps, tripping as he arrived at 3rd one from the bottom. His face met his living room's solid planked wooden floor, and that made his recover even faster, ignoring the intense pain coming from his cheek and temple, he looked to the furnishings in the room. His leather couch was there, his 98 inch flat screen tv was there, everything he had before the outbreak was in the room. That's when tyler ran to the front door, and out of his house.


"Adain? Oh goddess, ADAIN?" shouted Tyler, he knew where he was, and how dangerous it would soon become.

@La Muerte

Hearing his name Adain awoke from a nap on his roof, it was Tyler's voice. He stood up and shouted back, "Up here! I'm up here Tyler!" He scanned looking for Tyler looking down both directions of the road before seeing him running out of a house.

"Lead the way, Isaac," Blake said, keeping her eyes peeled for any of the monsters. She followed behind and off to the side of Isaac, constantly glancing behind herself to make sure they weren't being spied on or followed.

Isaac lead the way to his domicile, carefully surveying the streets.


"Ok I'm going in, I don't think you should stay outside. We stay together remember? If we have to, we burn the damn house to the ground," he said, stepping up and opening the door. Waiting to open the door, he waited for his comrades to take their places at his flanks. If anything waited inside, Isaac knew he had to get to his workshop. All manners of tools and weapons to use there. The line gun would be the most useful, and the disc ripper would save him ammunition. A few injector medkits would do well too.

Siegfried Regin

Siegfried woke in a large, decorated room within an unknown house, he woke up confused, unsure of what happened previously, his mind was foggy but he decided to go ahead and stand up, when he did a large wave of dizziness washed over him, he would have thrown up if it hadn't been for him holding his own mouth shut and calming down, after a few minutes on the ground with a serious headache, his vision came back and he stood, he decided to explore the house.


The house was rather large, whoever owned it was pretty damn rich considering the size and elegance. It seemed like it was clean which seemed odd since it was completely abandoned from the looks of it. Siegfried found the kitchen and picked up a water bottle that was neatly placed on the counter, he seemed extremely thirsty so he chugged the whole bottle, sighing after his drink. That felt good.


He looked from some food but he couldn't find much, he took a piece of bread and ate that while he was there, he was surprised nevertheless.


Siegfried walked outside and wondered if there were others... He remained silent as he walked, his red cloak with a hood covering his head seemed to stand out ominously. He sighed, looked around the street.


He couldn't see anyone.

[RainbowWave]

Eyeless jack sat floating mid-air crossed leg above Issac's bed, he was bored, and knew that the man would return to his home sooner or later, he just wished it would be sooner. He stared blankly at the wall, awaiting the mans arrival, only, Eyeless jack knew he wouldn't be coming in alone.

 

[La Muerte]

"Up here! I'm up here Tyler!" shouted Adain, Tyler's eyes darted between the houses before finally looking up to each of there roofs. Tyler was a panicked mess, he knew what was to come, and he wanted nothing more then to protect Adain from it.
"Come down! I wanna speak to you!" shouted Tyler, but that wasn't what he wanted, all he wanted was to hold Adain close to him, and protect him from the dangers GLaDOS was going to bring to them.

Adain grabbed his rifle and jumped off his roof,and noted how he needed to start wearing shoes because this ground felt like it was harder than else where. He walked over to Tyler and gave him a tender hug, "So what we gotta talk about?" Adain adjusted his rifle strap.

Isaac lead the way to his domicile, carefully surveying the streets.


"Ok I'm going in, I don't think you should stay outside. We stay together remember? If we have to, we burn the damn house to the ground," he said, stepping up and opening the door. Waiting to open the door, he waited for his comrades to take their places at his flanks. If anything waited inside, Isaac knew he had to get to his workshop. All manners of tools and weapons to use there. The line gun would be the most useful, and the disc ripper would save him ammunition. A few injector medkits would do well too.

Blake approached Isaac's house and stood just behind him on his front door steps. She nearly grimaced as he mentioned burning the house down at a worst-case scenario. Blake disliked the idea of massively destroying property in firefight situations, as the government barely subsidized for damages that the military caused on domestic property. Civilians getting the short side of the stick for military protection... it was sickening to the elemental soldier, who wanted to help civilians as much as possible. Admittedly, those days have long past her, but the sour thought still lingered in her head.
She reluctantly nodded her head in agreement. "OK... open the door. Octavian and I will scan the inner perimeter of your house - we stay within each other's sight of course - while you fetch your necessities." Blake armed up the Lasgun and aimed it at the door, not sure what to expect inside the engineer's dwelling.

Adain walked over to Tyler and gave him a tender hug "So what we gotta talk about?" asked Adain as he adjusted his rifle strap.
"Everything," replied Tyler as he pulled Adain back into his house as a red cloaked figure walked onto the street. Tyler had no need to know what was under that cloak, at least for now he didn't. They were in Tyler's living room, a large glass top coffee table sat between the leather couch and his tv, and a large red rug sat underneath both. misalliance tables doted the large room, holding paintings and pictures. Tyler looked to Adain, and released a small smile,


"This....This is my home." quietly spoke Tyler.


@La Muerte

Adain was stunned at the decor. He walked around looking at everything then realized Gage and all his gear was still in his house. "Um we are going to have to go get my things. I hope that its okay if I bunk here safety in numbers ya know." He let a innocent smile across his face at Tyler. "But we can talk first if you want." Adain sat his gun in the corner of the living room and stood back by Tyler.

Lia frowned as she looked at the tree, unsure how Manco would get his hat down. Would one of them have to climb it? Lia wasn't sure. She watched in surprise and he took out his revolver and fired a single shot, knocking his hat down. The blonde smiled seeing this, impressed with his work.


"Nice shot!" she complimented, glancing to him. "I'm glad you could get your hat back. Thanks for being so patient with Renegade. He can be a handful, but he doesn't mean any harm."


She started to walk towards her playful dog, freezing when she heard the tree start to rustle. She glanced to it curiously and heard a loud buzzing sound. Before she could say anything else, Renegade had took off running and out came an angry swarm of bees who were apparently unhappy about the gunshot disturbing their home.


"Holy crap, run Manco!" Lia shouted, whirling away to run. Rotten luck.

"What in the-" *I looked up at the buzzing noise, noticing a semi-large bees nest. Could this day get any worse? I holster my pistol, and and sprint to my left, trying to get away from the bees. I finally got my hat back, and now I'm running away from bees. Great. I remembered I had read something back in the library, something about bees... Oh! Now I remember, bees detect movement which is how they find their pray. If I stand directly under a tree, they will mistake the branches of the tree moving for me. Causing them to lose track of me. I sprinted towards a nearby tree, and pressed myself against it. The bees swarmed around the tree, confused about where I am.*

Likewise, JoJo began following Natsu. "I think I see it too! Is that... a diner?!" He asked hopefully, "C'mon, let's go!" The young man exclaimed excitedly.

Siegfried heard a small echo coming from down the street, he could see figures moving towards a dinner near Siegfried he was too exposed, he hid behind an oak tree in the yard of his large house


Wait... This was his old house! Now he remembered.


Siegfried chuckled lightly as he basically called his family "Filthy fucking rich" although he shut himself up as he didn't want to be heard by the group.
