Murder High - (Started/Closed)

[Fishtie]

David had calmly, almost curiously, observed the giants as they rushed at the group. He seemed strangely unthreatened by them. However, when shots began to ring out they definitely shocked him into action. Dropping his head so that he moved in a crouched lunging gate he set off after the group who was already heading for the city, dashing away from the active battle with a surprising burst of speed.

Jon dropped heavily to the ground, then forced himself up and away from the creature. These things were more resilient than they seemed; two gunshots hadn't put one out, and he would have to be careful in case the other recovered (though on consideration, the acid foaming in it's mouth would be giving it problems for some time)

He circled warily, hoping whoever was firing the gun would intervene once more...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo

The low rumblings of a fog horn suddenly broke through the fighting. Both of the creatures stopped what they were doing and tilted there heads in the direction of the sound. After a few seconds, they both charged back down the beach, the wounded one holding an arm over its wound but otherwise keeping up with the pace of the uninjured one.

As the creatures raced off, another flare flashed brightly in the sky, again in the opposite direction in which the map told the students to head

 

[ThreeWords]

"Damn!" shouted Jon, "That cost me the last of my mix. I needed that shit!" He turned, and eyeed the others; without that powder, he needed biochemicals, and he began considering who he could safest kill...

"I think we should um... Head to the school. I mean, they went and stuff and if they did then maybe we should too, yeah?"
There was a obvious tone of nervousness in her voice and she was shaking slightly.

 

[Segadroid]

"Better then standing here, lass." Brothanar responded, still shaken from the appearence of those 'things'. Grabbing her by the arm, he said: "Let us move with haste then."

Experiencing slight struggle from her side at the sudden move, they jogged towards the direction of their school.

Well, what just happened made this place a lot more interesting.

Though, I hope there won't be any more suprises for now.

-Inside the House-

As Luke barricaded himself in the house, a whisper drifted through his head. Soft, loving and familiar...

Why Luke? Why?

-In the City-

Deathly silence surrounded the students as they made there way into the ruins of what was once Camelot City. With the sun glaring down from above, it looked like it was around noon or lunch time and hunger was starting to rumble inside many of the stomachs.

"Ahem..."

The sound of someone clearing there throat sounded almost as loud as someone shouting as a tall man stepped out of the shadows of one of the broken down buildings. He looked like your typical FBI or secret goverment agent, black sunglasses and matching black and white, smooth brown hair with a solid square jaw. He smiled with perfect white teeth, a brown paper bag in his hands as he held it out

"Burgers anyone?"

He asked smoothly as he offered the bag forward

"I promise they're made fresh"

 

[Broken Orange]

After hearing the loud fog horn, Luke took a peak through the cracks in the window, he saw the monsters running off. Waiting for a minute, he began undoing the barracade, but as he was moving the last piece away, he heard a voice call out his name.

"Why Luke? Why?"

The voice was quite relaxing, like a mother who actually cared if Luke would call home and be home before midnight. The mother he never had. But he wasn't fooled for too long. He walked further in the hallway of the dark house.

"Why not, mysterious voice in this strange building? Maybe I should ask you why you know my name?"

Am I just talking to shadows? Maybe it was just the wind...no, the voice was too clear to be the wind. Am I going insane already?

 

[Xero Scythe]

Damien took the bag and selected a burger at random. He lobbed it back at Mr. FBI, with the same smile, though his never reached his heart. "Sure, so long as you eat one first. Sorry if I'm paranoid, but this is Murder High. This wouldn't be the first time I've seen a trick like this, and at this place, I expect it wouldn't be the last. And when you get sent here, you tend to lose all stock in promises. What matters are results." Damien was a little hungry, but he was willing to wait it out if the alternative was death by poison.

-Inside the House-

Do not worry Luke. I am not angry. I am proud.

The whisper cooed softly, almost seductively

You've been chosen afterall

-In the City-

Smiling, the agent-like man reached into the bag with his free hand and took out one of the burgers, opening his mouth wide, he took a large bite out of it, chewing slowly and deliberately before swallowing

"Mmmmm...bacon"

The man chuckled, a napkin suddenly in his hand where the burger once was as he wiped the sauce stains away from his mouth

"I'm sorry I couldn't bring any soda for you guys, but considering you all just got out of prison, I'd take the hand outs where I could them if I were you"

 

[Broken Orange]

"Chosen one, huh? Chosen to be dinner?"

Still walking further in the house, Luke found a broken lamp, Wielding it like a club. Just in case any ghouls try to jump him. As much as he wants to just give in to the voice, he was a business man at heart. Plus, he has no idea what the memorizing voice wants of him.

"Why am I the chosen one? Am I the 50th student to visit this building? And before you tell me anymore of the mumbo-jumbo, can you show yourself? I have always prefer face-to-face conversation, myself. Telephones just lack that human element, never can tell if the person I am talking to would want to stab me in the back."

 

[ThreeWords]

Jon looks wary for a moment, then his stomach grumbles. He takes the bag carefully, retrieves a burger, then gives it a sniff and takes a bite. Smiling, he lays into the rest, vanishing it in seconds...

Not liking the way the still unnamed giant manhandled Aurore, Nick followed on to the group, aiming to remain as a lingering presence on the sidelines, ready to step in if for any reason, things turned nasty between anyone. When the suited man stepped out of the shadows, Nick stepped further into a side-street than he had been, hoping he hadn't been noticed. He went around the building, and walked up an alley so he was behind the man. Nick approached the man, then walked past him silently. Not out of any particular desire, just because he couldn't think of a good way of introducing himself to the man. Nick shook his head politely when the bag was pointed his way. "I'm not the biggest fan of most meats nowadays." He excused.

-Inside the House-

Do not worry Luke. We will meet very soon

A soft white light suddenly grew before Luke's eyes and when he tried to look away, he found himself outside the house.

-In the City-

"Well, I am sorry to hear that Nick. I'll try and find something more appetizing for you next time we meet"

The agent said, smiling his perfect smile, placing the remaining food in the bag on the ground in front of him

"I'm simply here to give you all a very, very good deal. However, considering where we are at the moment, I can see I'm going to have to gain your trust first, so here is a useful little tidbit of information for you all...when you reach the school, Murder High or whatever you kids call it these days, you will be split up. Whatever you do, avoid saying that your innocent of the crimes you committed, and stay away from the man with the green smiley face on his jacket"

 

[Quad08]

Spoiler: OOC

Post eaten

 

[Broken Orange]

Back outside, Luke rubbed his eyes in confusion. Once he got his bearings, he noticed that he was outside. Trying to understand what just happened, he decided that it was more trouble than it was worth. Not enough facts, too much speculation; two things that always leads to bad decisions. He turns, looking for his "classmates" and see them talking to someone who looks like a U.S. Marshal or FBI agent. He has what looks like a bag of food. Stomach growling, he makes his way to the crowd.

"...little tidbit of information for you all...when you reach the school, Murder High or whatever you kids call it these days, you will be split up. Whatever you do, avoid saying that your innocent of the crimes you committed, and stay away from the man with the green smiley face on his jacket"

"I'll keep that in mind." Luke said as he reached them. "Is that bag of food for us? I haven't had anything real to eat for weeks."

 

[SeanTheSheep]

"Don't worry, I'll have found something by then hopefully." Nick replied, giving a non-comittal hand wave as he pinched the top of the paper bag together with one hand, and held it out towards Luke as if it were filled with toxic waste. "Yep, you can have mine too if you want, I'd be better off with a carrot or something." He said, wondering to himself where Luke had just been.

 

[Quad08]

"Of course Luke, please help yourself"

Looking down at his platinum watch, the man sighed suddenly, shaking his head like a disappointed father.

"Well, it looks like I need to get going now. Your school is right around the corner, but don't worry, I'm sure we will meet again soon"

And with a quick nod, and a flash of white teeth, he turned around and walked deeper into the ruins of the city, disappearing from view.

 

[Xero Scythe]

Damien shrugged and chomped down on the burger. "I'm guilty, avoid smiley. Got it." He mutttered as he finished his burger. "Well...what do you think the deal is gonna be? Freedom? I guess we'll just have to see." Damien walked over to the dead giant and pulled out his knife, wiping the blood off it. "Okay...not swallowing that thing again." Damien hid the knife in the sleeve of his left hand. "Alright, let's get to the school" Damien made his way towards the building.

 

[Fishtie]

David didn't seemed particularly fazed by the strange man or his food. Quickly grabbing one of the burgers he sniffed it for a moment before biting in. He chewed then stopped thoughtfully for a moment before continuing without concern.

He began to happily trot after Damien before he seemed to suddenly have a thought. "You know, he didn't say what his name was. Kind of rude. Especially since he seemed to know us."
