I have a few questions. Whats the currency in the otherworld? Also how does the financial system work?

Spoiler: OOC

Good question.....hmm.....AH HA! It'll use a system similar to the classic fantasy gold, silver, and copper coin system, but instead of coins it's paper bills colored as yellow(gold), white(silver), and brown(copper)

and with that, lets get the show on the road people!

Leon slowly brought the cup of tea up to his mouth and took a sip, savoring the flavor and aroma of the thai tea he had ordered. The aged chair he was sitting gave a rustic creak as he leaned back to stare up at the quiet noon sky. The sounds of music drifted up from the street below which gave the rooftop restaraunt a wonderful atmosphere. He smiled and began to hum along with the music. The city had so many musicians playing you would think it would sound like a musical cacophony; and yet they all seemed to harmonize together to give the entire city it's own special rhythm.

He spent most of his time in the scholar district just for the atmosphere and hadn't so much as set foot into one of the cities many libraries. He had thought about it but decided he had no real reason to study anything, having long ago grown detached from this world and the people in it, and only wanted to relax and try to forget everything. But he knew that moments like these were soon going to be few and far between. Anger began to bubble up inside him, anger at the fact that he could have lived all of his days here like this, anger at the society that had cast him out instead of trying to help him control his powers, and a feeling of sorrow that he knew he could never forget and never forgive.

Shaking his head Leon looked around at the other resaraunt goers and scaned from one side of the rooftop to the other before spotting a very merry looking couple. A quick thought later and he was blissfully happy again, and even in love. The feelings from the couple poured into him and filled him as if they were his own, and his head swam with happy thoughts as a smile returned to his face. Leon began to hum to the soft sounds of the city once more. He raised the cup again and savored the taste then chuckled, everything really was better when you were in love.

Brandon sat at the desk studying Otherworld a history in the Scholars District. But no matter how many volumes he read, how many different authors, he could not find out how this world came to be. "And I probably never will." He sighed. "I need a cig." He mumbled to himself walking out side. He pulled out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and snapped his fingers. A small flame appeared on the end of his thumb. Extinguishing his thumb, Brandon took a drag of the cigarette. "Ahhh, maybe I'm just looking through the wrong books or in the wrong places?" He said as he watched the residents of the district go about their daily business. "Time for a drink." He said to himself heading for one of the few bars in the district.

 

[Xero Scythe]

Thanatos was in the Twilight Rose, the biggest and rowdiest bars in the scholar district. He leaned back, tilting in his chair, looking as if he owned all of the Otherworld. He leaned over to a man who was taking bets on bar fights, saying, "See that bloke over there? 100 says he comes over here lookin' for a fight, and I kick his ass without using my abilities. another 50 says the whole places goes to hell afterwords." They shook hands and Thanatos smirked as the man he had pointed out made his drunken way over to Thanatos. "Hey, you, lookin' for a fight?" He said, his speech slurred. The man's arm suddenly lashed out, quick as a whip. Thanatos was faster. His left arm came up and caught the fist. Thatanos smiled and started to squeeze. The claws on his black hand drew blood as they pulverized the man's fist. The man screamed, inciting a riot. Thanatos grinned and laughed maniacally, launching himself into the fray.

 

[BloodyThoughts]

Candouras walked up to Thanatos while he was laughing. Thanatos, not noticing that Candouras was right behind him turned around. Candouras towered over Thanatos and then said "Kid, you like starting punch ups in bars? How about you try to beat me for a change?" Said Candouras as he revealed his blade arm, while comsuming his drink. A smirk then came to Canadouras's face.

"Well boy? do you have the guts to fuck with me? Or are you to scared? Hahahahahaha!"

Rachael was walking around the district, delightfully spraying the ground with ice and making people slip over, Lalalalala! She pointed at the ground where a large crowd was standing and they all slipped over, Hahahahaha! But as she did, someone approached her, and she stepped back in fear, An older man about 34 was coming over to her to teach her some manners, She disagreed and her hair began to turn into water, this was a sign of anger, she slowly calmed herself down and walked away from the man bumping into someone as she spun around.

Spoiler: OOC

Sage, This is you so you know ok? Seemed like a good idea.

 

[sage42]

"Oof." Brandon said as he bumped into some one. "Oh I'm sorry about that. I tend to not pay attention to where I'm going when I'm thinking." He said with a smile towards the girl. He noticed a larger man was walking towards them. "Follow my lead." He whispered with a wink. "Sally I"m very disappointed in you," He said in a stern tone.

The otherworld had a rich variety of districts to cater for the countless varieties of people that come here; crazies, the war mongers and even crooks, there was somewhere that gave them a homey feeling. If there was one thing that Darren had learnt in his life, it was that where ever there were people, there was a profit to be made.

Darren stood against one of the ageless pillars in the scholar district, scanning every passer by with his ever watchful 'eyes'. In his line of business choosing the target was as crucial as the methodology and the skills of the artist, as his death taught him not leaving evidence was no use when scamming people who are not bound by the law. In the otherworld there was no written law for Darren to shield himself with, no loopholes he could manipulate; the only thing he had to save his skin here was his own skills. The scholar district was filled with those who pursued knowledge; from the wannabe philosophers from the classical Greek period to a simple librarian from the 20th century they congregated here to satisfy their intellect. Intellectuals as they were, there existed a fine line between knowledgeable and smart; and a good portion of the regulars here lacked the latter.

Darren's jaw opened very slightly, this was the closest thing to smiling for him now, as he found his fourth mark of the day. He saw a man appearing to be in his 50s exiting one of the nearby libraries with a handful of documents and books; his attire appeared fancy to say the least and the style was probably contemporary to Victorian Britain. Darren quickly plotted a path to intercept with his mark and set off merging seamlessly with the surrounding traffic of people. As the mark walked past him made the interception
" 'Scuse me, d'you know where I can find the New Athenian library?"
Darren tried to emulate a posh London git the best he could, and at the same time he quickly scanned the covers of the books his target was holding, the illustrations and the words he could see. The two proceeded to share a brief conversation and the two parted ways after the man pointed Darren to the Library he had just come from. As Darren strolled into the library he placed a half empty wallet by the reception desk, waltzed right back out and if he still had a face he'd be grinning. Reaching for a cigarette and a light in his jacket pocket, he made his way towards the Twilight Rose as he figured he could burn up some of the money he just made.

Edward put the pen down on the desk and studied the surroundings he had worked in for the past 15 years. A small, poky room with browned light filtering in from the factory floor. He'd worked here as a minor clerk ever since his untimely arrival in the Otherworld. His open belly gave a twinge, the only real reminder of his past life, bringing with it the thought that maybe he should find a better job. His musings were interrupted my the smell of coffee wafting from the pot on his desk and the cheery little jangle of the air tube to herald the arrival of a package. Attached were delivery instructions to a paperwork republishing furnace in the scholar district. He got up from the desk with the brown parcel, doffed his hat, pulled on his jacket and waded through the drifts of papers to the door. Maybe today would bring surprises.

Spoiler: OOC

Ah, sorry about the lateness. Had connection problems.

Sorry it's late, but I needed an early night yesterday.

Armion was sitting in the library, reading through a book in a very focused manner. Every now and then he would pick up a pencil and write something down on the paper next to him, although he had already been through the book hundreds of times before, and hadn't found what he was looking for.

For the last 30 years or so, Armion had become interested in what happened in those six years he couldn't remember. It had given him a few traits that he didn't previously have, such as the That initial interest had lead to a borderline obsession, and he was now fairly well known in most libraries, particularly for the unusual requests for books he gave.

He paused for a moment, as he reached the chapter regarding possessions. This meant something, he was sure of it, but he could never figure out what it was. He disliked stealing, so he was never able to leave the library with the book and study it in more detail.

Or not until now anyway.

From under his robe, he drew out some more paper. His normally blue eyes seemed to flash red for a moment. He set it down on the table, and wrote S.Notebook Chapter: Possessions on the front of the first piece. He then flipped it over, and started to copy out the book's runes onto the sheets in front of him.

Rachael nodded, Sorry Dad.. she pulls a smug face while rolling her eyes.

The man walked over, and turned to The older man Is this your daughter..?
He glared down at the young girl angered by what she had done.

 

[NimbleJack3]

Having reached the scholar district, he passed by one of the more famously disreputable alehouses on his way to the parcel's destination. As he drew level with it, a black-armed man tumbled out of the door backwards and onto the street, screaming obscenities at an unseen attacker. He rushed back inside, bursting through the half-closed door with a splintering sound and a scream from someone else. Edward shuddered, wondering what physical horrors were being visited upon the man's victim.

Try to use better grammar and punctuation, it makes it easier to understand what you are trying to say. Also, people talk in quotation marks, not italics.

 

[Xero Scythe]

Thanatos smiled. "Okay, that sound interesting. You actually seem like you will put up a fight. Care to take this outside, Where we have a little more room? Oh, excuse me for a sec." He grabbed a man by the collar, the same man who had made the bet with him, who was trying to escape. He took the man's wallet, took out 150 gold slips, and then returned the man's wallet to him. Thanatos then turned around and started walking towards the door. "Are you coming or what?" He said to Candouras.

 

[BloodyThoughts]

"Before we get this started, mind starting another bet? If you feel really confident. Make it 200 gold."

Said Candouras who's smirk got even wider. He proceeded after Thanatos. Moving as quick as he could. In just a second he was outside already. He finished his drink, and threw it onto the ground shattering it immediately. He then just stood there and said. "Your move boy. Hit me with your best shot." While laughing even more, and this time it sounded Maniacal. Like he had some sort of trick up his sleeve.

 

[Xero Scythe]

Thanatos shrugged. "Whatever. Your money, buddy." He casted a blanket of darkness over the area, making it impossible for Candouras to see anything. Thanatos then appeared behind Candouras, taking some of the Void with him, and swiping at Candouras' abdomen with his claw.

 

[BloodyThoughts]

Candouras grabbed his abdomen, knelt down and said with a sigh "Well, your fast I will give you that, but it's gonna take more than one hit to take me down" He stood up again, he then took a swipe at Thanatos, Hitting his void, but not doing anything to it, while hurting Candouras in the process.

"That's some shield you got there kid. How am I going to take that down?"

Spoiler: OOC

Ok fixed, I just realized my mistake. Ty tetron for warning me. But, i must say, his sword arm is his mutation, so it wouldn't break or be destroyed, it would just be harder and harder to use as a weapon as a result of it getting hurt.

 

[tetron]

Candouras grabbed his abdomen, knelt down and said with a sigh "Well, your fast I will give you that, but it's gonna take more than one hit to take me down" He stood up again, he then took a swipe at Thanatos, hitting him and knocking him back even with his void. He then ran at the same speed as Thanatos, and hit him many more times. His Void then started to wear off. Candouras then took his shot and knocked Thanatos down to the ground. He then slammed his sword arm right near his head, cutting off a tiny piece of Thanatos's ear. "Well, looks like I one this fight kid, now pay up."

Spoiler: OCC

Godmode much ? From my understanding his void is just that, a void. Not only that but since it is also "vicious"(not sure myself how that works) it attacks what enters it IE:your arm which would mean your attacks hurt yourself more than anything. And it's hardly up to you to decide when his power wears off, or if it even has a time limit at all. I would highly recommend editing this post if not I say we consider your arm all but destroyed from your reckless attack, and yourself exhausted. Putting thanatos in quite the advantageous position as opposed to a loss.

"So Frank, hows the boss man been since I was here last?"

Connor sits in a chair and leans back, pulling out a silver flask from under his coat and taking a swig. "Crazier than ever, keeps sending people out to find crap that we've never heard of. He actually fired Winston for not knowing where to get "Eye of the Hin'adur", we have a pool going to see when a group of mercs drag him of to the Savage District." Frank walks over to a door and opens a window in the middle of it and sticks his head through. A muffled conversation can be heard between Frank and another person before Frank shuts the window and opens the door, "Hes waiting for you, and hes not happy with how long it took ya." Connor rolls his eyes and puts the flask away and walks through the door, Frank follows and shits the door behind him.

Another muffled conversation can be heard from inside followed by a long silence. A small explosion can be heard inside followed by several screams of panic before the entire building is blown to pieces. The people around the building not caught in the blast either run or draw their weapons, but they quickly turn to run themselves. A gigantic beast, towering over even the tallest buildings in the district, climbs out of the wreckage and lets out a roar that shakes the ground. The massive monstrosity breathes heavily while scanning the surrounding area before roaring again and starts making a path through the streets and smashing buildings, within a few seconds the beast is long gone but its roar can still be heard every few seconds.

Connor pulls himself out of the wreckage and looks up at the beast as it runs off, "Frank......I think we need new jobs......" Connor looks over at where Frank had previously been and finds his old friend's corpse impaled on a broken beam, "Okay, I need a new job........"

That didn't come off as dramatic as I thought, still a good way to bring the group together though!

 

[AcrylicHero]

"Oh bloody Jesus..."
Darren whispered to himself as he witnessed the event unfold. A massive explosion which was followed by, from what he could see, a towering monster. Strange happenings were not foreign to the otherworld, but this... this just beggared belief. It was probably wise that Darren binned the idea of going to the bar instead after the creature departed he began to join flocks of fleeting people and crowds spectators almost frozen by the shock and magnitude of what just happened, migrating from one group to another to salvage pieces of information as to what the bleeding fuck happened.
This was one of those rare occassions that Darren couldn't pop a cheeky grin, not that he could with the current status of his face but you know what he means. Even as he got clubbed and beaten to death in real life, he atleast made an attempt to laugh in defiance but back then his crushed throat got in the way. This time, he was truly left speechless and not a clucking excuse to explain it.
As he talked to the various different groups of people he failed to piece together a half decent explanation, yet he managed to swipe a few wallets and such halfway through as his instict kicked in. Darren could care less about his latest prizes; far too distracted by the source of all this maelstrom of panic and the utter destruction it had left behind in its wake. All he could think and say to himself was
"What the bleeding 'ell just happened?"

 

[Xero Scythe]

Thanatos grinned. "You're not." He suddenly heard a boom as the ground shaked. "What the hell?" He exclaimed. He took down the darkness to see the giant monster rampaging across town. When he turned around, he saw Candouras charge. Thanatos brought his left hand up, blocking the sword without so much as a scratch, while knocking Candouras off balance. Thanatos then ducked down and swept with his foot, making Candouras fall to the ground. "Look, there's a giant...thing rampaging through town, and I want to see what the hell it is up close, so let's call a truce for now and do this thing later, ok?" With that, Thanatos summoned the void around him and disappeared, not leaving a trace behind.
