[RP Thread] KABOOM

[Arcisal]

The darkness suited Johlkr well! He enjoyed the lack of light, especially the amusement he derived from these human passengers.

Taking advantage of the situation, the dwarf nudged his way through the angsty soon-to-be mob. He tried not to attract to much attention to himself as he made his way past them as quietly and undisturbedly as possible, to the front of the carriage. It seems that the strange faerie he saw earlier was up to something, but he didn't know what. Well, it's either certain death in the train or an unknown salvation, or possibly just a delayed death. The later was the obvious choice.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

The Faerie shot daggers at Theos as he dragged a young boy, kicking and screaming, into the second class carriage, but he made no move in reproach.

Instead he turned to face Aeryl, who had yet to move.
"Are you coming?" he asked simply as he reached for the control panel.

--

Night Wind came to the end of the carriage, where in lee of the goblins, there lay another doorway, through which he knew must lie his weapons and armour.

--

Johlkr came to the fore of the car and found his path to the drive train blocked by a final door.

 

[AlienAtSystem]

OOC: Night Wind has no obvious weapon or armor. He's not that kind of Faerie.

 

[-Peper-]

OOC: I thought the human who Theos' been dragging was me? Lol'd.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

OOC: It could be.. the post wasn't specific
Decide amongst yourselves and let me know?

 

[Wolfe]

Aeryl speedily returned to the second-class carriage.

 

[-Peper-]

OOC: Let's make it be then
IC: The first class carriage were crowded, as it were starting a riot. The guy and faeries who have been there rushed to the other car behind, whispering about detaching the car and screw the other whining people. Wait what? As soon as he heard that he make his move to the second class car, which slowed down by bunch of peoples. When he was struggling, a man came from nowhere then began to drag him along to the second class car. He tried to resist but the force's to powerful, he starts to yell and kicking in directions. Then he is pushed into the carriage and the man starts explaining. Oh how ironic this situation is.

 

[Arcisal]

OOC: Wait a minute. Where the fuck are we going now? When you say "fore of the car", does it mean front or back? And that's the first-class carriage right? Confused as hell.

IC: A door! It looked bolt tight. The presence of the dwarf did not disturb it as it remained as vigilant as it had always been. This door looked thicker and tighter. No control pad was in sight, or at least he thought. He assumed that this lead to the head of the train. He heard the strange fairy mention something about getting to the driver's head. The mob behind him had their attention fixed upon their prey, an odd mix of faeries and humans, leaving the dwarf alone. Good.

Stretching his fingers and clearing his throat. Johlkr prepared himself to use his magnetic application. The door was definitely made of metal and thus could be controlled, contorted and destroyed. Leaving his mind blank, the dwarf concentrated upon the door as he placed his rough palms upon the door's surface. Entrance was all that needed, destruction need it be.

 

[Fussiler1]

OOC: Let's say I first dragged Peper inside and then the young boy. I like both ideas.

Theos answered the faerie's glare with an equally hard gaze, his face a mask of anger.
One. You can do two. It's going to take a while for the faerie. Just get another one. Save lives. Save them. Two isn't going to unleash a rampage. Do it.
He had convinced himself that one was the only viable number, but what if he was wrong? One more was probably possible. He could quickly snoop in and grab somebody before the faerie was done. But what if he was delayed?
Theos forced himself to move again and quickly stormed into the carriage again, grabbing the closest thing to him in the neck. He could only barely see in the darkness that it was a short figure, not very strong, but it resisted nonetheless with great fury. The figure screamed, but was not heard over the sound of the crowd. The figure kicked and moved his arms around, hitting nothing but air. When Theos finally arrived at the carriage, he literally threw him inside with more force than was intended, next to the other. In the light of the second cabin, he saw that it was a young boy. Couldn't be very old.. But surely he hadn't come alone?
One more. Just one more! ONE!
''Is there still any time?'' he asked the faerie, his voice calm. But he almost broke his pencil, asking that question.

 

[Jake Command Wolf]

"Derail?" Said Norm, "Crash?!" Said Melvin, "Probably gonna go kablamo?!" Said Iggy, the three brothers looking at each other before starting to scream and run around the train car.

"I'm too young to die!" Screamed Melvin. "We gotta do something!" Yelled Melvin, as Iggy replied; "Yeah we gotta get da heck off this thing!"

"You just can't get off of a bullet train! This thing is going 237 miles an hour! The six foot fall to the ground alone would break all the bones in our bodies!" Said Norm, as Melvin and Iggy momentarily stopped their frantic panicking to listen to their brother. "But I like my bones!!!" Replied Iggy.

"Oh yeah smart guy what do you propose we do than huh?" Said Melvin throwing his hands up in the air. Norm stopped and pondered for a moment, placing his hand on his chin, a few moments later breaking his concentration and saying:

"If we can get to the engine car up front I might be able to hack into the control system and shut off the it's power source. That would cause the train to start to decelerate and hopefully come to stop before the train explodes on contact with the station."

"Well what are we waiting for!? Lets grab what we need and get a move on!" Said Melvin as he ran towards the brothers mini train car. "Wow Melvin I've never seen you care about anyone else like that before!" Said Iggy as he and Norm followed in tow.

"Yeah well we're on this sad excuse for a speeding pop rocket too. If we save everyone elses lives in the process of saving our own thats just a consolation prize!" Replied Melvin as he punched a long series of digits on to a keypad that looked to be half welded to the side of mini train car next to the door.

"Your such a giver you know that Melvin?" Replied Norm with more than a hint of sarcasm. "Oh spare me, brain boy." Melvin replied, inputting the last of the lengthy passcode into the keypad and causing the large sliding door to open.

The trio jumped into the car and started rummaging around in its scattered and poorly organized contents, Norm grabbing a large mechanical backpack, while Melvin and Iggy grabbed several large satchels of miscellaneous junk.

As the brothers jumped off on the car and back down to the floor something grabbed Iggy's attention on his way out, a bag with a large pipe sticking out of it. "Oooohhh! We might need these!" Said Iggy as he grabbed the bag and hopped out.

"Come on Iggy we don't have all day here!" Yelled Melvin from the other side of train car. "Coming!!!" Replied Iggy as ran to catch up with his brothers, who where making their way out of the car and into the next one.

"Lets go boys we got us a train to stop!" Yelled Melvin as he lead the way threw the cars towards the engine car.

 

[AlienAtSystem]

Night Wind walked further, looking for the end of the train.

[Arcisal]

OOC: Ohaithar.

Grey?

 

[Grey Nightmare]

"I'm going to disconnect the car, these lot can go to hell!"

The voice echoed throughout the minds of the mysterious man's assembly.
Each word striking it's own vibe within the recesses of another listener's mind.
Aeryl, Johlkr, Theos, Reix. He seemed to call to every one of them, imploring them to understand. To commit. It made no sense but strangely, nor did it need to.
Each found their own gaze drawn to him and his outstretched hand, they found their eyes fixed and their limbs locked. Powerless to stop him. As his fingers closed around the lever and pulled, their world turned upside down.

---

...Kaboom?

Norm, Melvin and Iggy hit the deck as the the carriage behind them imploded, thrown from their feet by a colossal blast of pent up energy.
Nightwind lay sprawled some six feet forward, his clothes torn and bloody from an array of superficial wounds.
The ears of all four rang and a dull screech attacked their shaken concious as what little was left of the train, burnt to a sharp halt.

Through the fiery haze and Thor's broken husk they could just make out an array of figures - six maybe? A dozen? Perhaps even a score - approaching the wreckage with a sense of pride and purpose. They were donned in immaculate crimson armour and were all armed, and potentially dangerous?

---

Aeryl squinted as her eyes adjusted to the chaos laid out before her.
Through the thick smog and orange glow she could see nothing but bodies, all of which lay strewn out along the remains of the ruined carriage. Dwarf, Goblin, Faerie. All dead. Two men groaned beside her, as they picked themselves up and brushed off and turned to see a small army of crimson armoured soldiers pouring onto the broken locomotive.

---

Johlkr gasped in pain as he opened his eyes, the first class carriage, having been decoupled from the rest of the train hadn't sustained too much damage from the rear blast, in fact, the only reason it had stopped at all was due to burn-out. The engine had peaked and overheated, causing them to roll to a more gentle stop - at a guess - some two and a half miles down the track. A few humans were beginning to arise and probably looking for someone to blame, but they had yet to see the dwarf tucked away near the cabin door.

OOC: I apologise for the afkness... Just passed my driving test so been bobbing around all weekend!
Will start posting regularly again, reeaaallly sorrry folks!

 

[Fussiler1]

Theos closed his eyes and suddenly he was thrown around like a leaf in the wind. He lost all sense of orientation and couldn't even guess what was up or down, until he opened his eyes. Around hims were smoldering wreckages and bodies, sprewn across the ground. They were unrecognizable, some were blobs because of the many broken blobs and all around were arms, heads and legs. He was okay with that. The images didn't terrify him as much as they should have. He looked one more time around and scrambled up with great effort, occasionally falling again. When he finally was up, he looked around and suddenly saw blood-armoured men. He quickly looked on the ground, found his pencil and grabbed it. Who were they? Terrorists? Had they arranged this? Likely. Possible. Not impossible. Whoever they were, he had a pencil and he would use it. And with use it he meant jam a pencil into their bloody eyes. Suddenly he remembered the boy he had grabbed and looked around, seeing nobody. He suddenly panicked and started searching like crazy, turning almost everything around and completely ignoring the soldiers. He would hate it to see the kid a corpse.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Theos scrabbled through the debris, grunting and cursing as he clambered over dead bodies and ripped out, overturned seats. He searched desperately for any sign of the boy - and to very little surprise - he found none. Still, he couldn't help but acknowledge that a missing boy was much, much more preferable than a dead boy.
He stumbled on, mind in conflict, towards the far end of the train, blinking profusely against the vicious black smog that threatened his every breath.
He heard voices, sharp and curt. Orders.
Search...Train...Alive...Le-No..Trace!
As panic and despair began to overwhelm him, Theos reached the far end of the ruined car and took shelter to the side of an ugly rent - the size of an orc - in the carriage's left wall, surely the most likely point of entry for any attackers.
As he gripped his pencil tightly in anticipation he heard him, there.. Hiding under the adjacent seats. The boy. He yet lived.
The boy yet lived!

 

[Jake Command Wolf]

Norm, Melvin and Iggy where battered and bruised, but still alive, after being thrown halfway up the isle of the car they where in after the one behind them had exploded violently mere seconds after that gotten out of it.

"Oh... My head is killing me..." Said a semi-dazed Melvin as he picked himself off of the ground, Iggy not even a foot away, and Norm two feet away from Iggy where equally battered from the blast but like Melvin where no worse for the wear all things considered.

"I feel like my brain imploded!" Spoke Iggy as he rubbed his head and started to survey what was left of the train car they where in. "You actually need a brain for it to get imploded Iggy." Retorted Melvin.

As Norm came to his sense he could spot not even a yard in front of him the battered and bloody form of a male farie spread out on the car floor. "Hey guys! Over here!" Said Norm as he rushed to the fallen Faerie lifeless body.

"Is he dead?" Ask Iggy with a scared expression as he and Melvin walked over to the seemingly dead faerie. Norm put his pointed goblin ear to Nightwing's chest and took a moment to see if he could hear a heart beat.

After several tense seconds Norm's left arm rose in the air as his index finger started counting off the heartbeats he could hear. "Hes alive, just unconscious. Five bucks says something from the crash wanged him in the head and knocked him out cold." Said Norm as he got back on to his feet.

"I know what that feels like!" Said Iggy throwing his hands up in relief that the Faerie was all right. "Something like this?" Said Melvin as he jumped up and whacked Iggy on the head, with an "Oof!", causing Iggy to fall to the ground with a chuckle, the hit no where near hard enough to knock him out.

 

[Wolfe]

Aeryl struggled to find herself, lost in what had just happened. In her battle to overcome fatigue, she felt weak. She detested this feeling. She had only felt it once in her life and to feel so vulnerable and shaken in such a terrible, dark, smoggy place made her cringe. She stood up, composing herself as best as she could. She breathed very lightly, trying to avoid the gases that lingered in the air. In the haze of death and destruction she noticed men clad in crimson approaching.

 

[Fussiler1]

He let out a laugh of relief and looked at the boy. No scratch. His laugh died down to a mere chuckle and he grabbed the boy by the arm. This time, he wasn't as resisting as he had been before. The boy didn't keep up and often Theos had to pull him along. He heard sound. Was the boy talking? Or was he weeping? Maybe laughing? Theos tried to listen but his attention was drawn elsewhere as he saw the crimson-clad men again, dooming up from the smoke. Hostiles? Terrorists? The questions popped again through his mind but he was silently watching the men approach. Fear didn't cross his mind and he stood unrelenting, unflinching. If these were the men who killed everybody, he would jam his pencil into their eyeballs, he thought to himself whilst staring at the pencil between his fingers.
''Who are you?'' he cried out, surrounded by the fog, to the approaching men with, ironically, a threatening voice.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

The men stopped, their leader holding up a hand to halt the advance.
He inclined his head and looked up at Theos.
"Friends. Come on down, we won't hurt you.... Or the boy" she said. Yes. She.
Theos was caught off guard, but of course! He saw it now! Wings! All of them, they all had them, tucked behind their backs. Faeries, the lot of them.
The woman approached confidently, alighting aboard Thor gently, despite Theos' threatening posture.
She was short, like most of her people but stood metaphorically tall, straight backed, head held high. She wore a semblance pride or perhaps arrogance? Maybe even some measure of both.

After a quick scan of the carriage she nodded and placed a hand on each side of her crimson helm, removing it with a hiss and billow of white gas.
"Lena Telkay, Red Wings, Division seven!" greeted the ageless face, as she proffered Theos a gauntleted hand.
"We were sent in attempt to thwart this attack, though it seems we may have been a little too late" she sighed.

 

[Wolfe]

Aeryl heard a female voice. It was melodic, like a forest song. Fey, she thought, sifting through the ruin as gracefully as she could before noticing who they were. She examined their armour, her expression turning from relief to disgust. Awkwardly, she smiled, feigning contentment.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Lena Telkay spun round sharply, her grey eyes locking with Aeryl's own.
A few seconds passed in silence before the woman nodded politely and allowed herself a small smile.
"Welcome to Lyss, Sister" she spoke in the Faerie tounge, bowing minutely as she did so.
She placed her helmet on an overturned table and tussled her jet black hair.
"So many dead?", she shook her head.
"Are you all that's left?" she asked of Theos, turning back to him.

 

[-Peper-]

Reix felt intense pain on his head, he couldn't help but hold his head tight. After regains his balance and conciousness he tried to stand, staggering. His vision is as blur as smudged painting. But then he saw bloodstains, bodies, chairs, and even suitcases. His vision is now locked at the group of guys in crimson armor. Who are they?

 

[Fussiler1]

Theos looked at the had that had been offered to him and looked at it with distrust before shaking it. Here to stop the crash? It didn't make any sense for now. If they had wanted to stop the crash, why didn't they warn the train conductors? Or perhaps the people at the Lyss Station? Besides, why would faeries want to save humans? Who sent them? How did they know?
Faeries, went through his mind. He looked around and saw a lot of faeries and he was a bit stunned for the moment. He had at most seen three together, but this many..? This was rare. Faeries in big groups! They rarely even ventured alone out of their homelands! He quickly focused again. He could not lose his concentration now and get distracted.
Shake her hand. Feign friendliness and relief. Check later if she is a terrorist.
Theos then shook her hand with a sigh of relief. Personally, he thought he played the role better than an actor. She had a firm handshake, firmer than most of the men he had met. That was a bit odd.
''I thought you were terrorists or something.'' he said, his words followed by a feigned nervous laugh. He shook his head, as if he realized the stupidity of his thoughts earlier.
Increases believability. He had to play the role.
He listened as the two faeries conversed shortly before being asked a question by her. He didn't listen at first but quickly focused.
''Uh.. there are some more. Not many, though.'' he said, before cautiously asking; ''Though... who sent you?'' with a tone full of harmless curiosity.
Gotta play the role.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Lena smiled back wryly, accepting his handshake with a curt nod and cold gaze.
"As a race, we're not fond of Humanity. It's true" she acknowledged.
"The Red Wings" she continued, waving a hand behind her, indicating the rest of the Faeries.
"We're more.. Open minded, than most of our people. We were actually acting upon our own accord, while we may not be of your own race, protecting life is protecting life. Is it not?"
She stiffened slightly and withdrew to the edge of the train.
"Come, we must go. Would you rather make your own way back to Lyss or accompany us to our base of operations? I'm sure my superiors would be most anxious to meet you"

 

[Arcisal]

OOC: Sorry for the inactivity. I completely forgot about this and then I remembered my dwarf! Won't happen again!

IC: The dwarf's eyes looked about, darting wildly searching for something to rest it upon. But they were only greeted with subtle wreckage and abandonment. Still on his back, the dwarf could see the thick flora of the forest outside lashing onto the various passenger windows, painting it with a thousand different hues of green.

He could hear groans, even someone swearing. The humans! The dwarf suddenly remembered. He had tried to open the door to the driver's carriage until the train...

What did happen to the train?

Nevermind. These bloody humans won't be dazed for too long. Typical of humans to be the elitist racists they are. They had yet to lay their eyes upon Johlkr's small stature. The dwarf tried to pry open the driver's carriage by a millimeter, trying to see if the toil of his work before the train derailed had come to fruitation. Perhaps if he could enter the driver's carriage before they found him...

 

[Grey Nightmare]

OOC: No problem, my fault really But also, no forest (they're underground!)

To Johlkr's paramount surprise, the door swung open, catching him off guard and very nearly knocking him to the floor. He entered the driver's cabin quickly and shut the door carefully behind him, not wanting to catch any ill-wanted attention.
It was largely as he expected, a lone chair, lots of controls and a wide, clear view of the dark tunnels sprawled before the ruined train. The only missing was, well, the driver. Perhaps there had never been one or maybe he merely made a break for it before Johlkr came around? After the crash?

 

[Fussiler1]

Theos looked long at the faerie in front of him and his face completely changed, into the true and cold form it had originally been. She couldn't be fooled. She looked right through him, there was no use in maintaining this charade. He shook his head with a small sigh before he looked up again and said with a short and decisive answer: ''Let's go.''

 

[Grey Nightmare]

OOC: I apologize if this seems slow or is failing to meet any expectations... I've been doing some stuff over Easter, got a lot of inspiration, once we get to 'Lyss'/The City - I promise I'll try and make this terra-times-awesome, thanks for hang ing in there everyone <3 :')

IC:

Lena nodded and replaced her helmet with a sharp hiss.
"My team will search the rest of the carriages promptly, in the mean-time if you'd like to accompany me, I'll answer questions you may have about Lyss.. The Fey, or this.. incident"

 

[sanofa]

My very first post in this rp thread :P

The last thing I remember was sleeping calmly until something crashed...... I opened my eyes, they were so blurry... I can see red...... Blood huh?...... I have to wake up.....*breathes heavily* gotta.....stand....up..... Minutes later, I was staggering. I regained balance and my eyesight was clearer. I turned around, my equipment was beside me. I wore my equipment, and walked out. Before I got out, I saw a dwarf was closing some door, I didn't care. I walked, and walked, and walked in the the dark walkway filled with dead bodies, but I wasn't scared, I saw many people died, and I even KILLED people before... I looked up and saw something crimson red, and a few survivors. I walked to the light, and saw, 2 faeries, 3 humans including me, 3 goblins and 1 dwarf. It seems they survived the crash... I walked to them and asked "What in the fucking world happened!?".

 

[Wolfe]

Aeryl sighed. She looked at these traitors. Her people succumbing to the machines of humankind? It infuriated her. They weren't even exiles - their wings were in perfect condition. What would drive these beings to dabble into the menacing, unnatural world of technology? Unless...

"You're not faerie," she bluntly stated, her eyes fixed on Lena. "Or, rather, not true faerie," she added.

 

[-Peper-]

Reix stood with the help of a debris. He felt a pain runs through his left arm. Looks like it was scratched and bleeding, though not serious enough. His left sleeve was already covered in red. Red color, he always hated it. He overheard the conversation between the man and the crimson-armored faerie, which leads the team. Follow her? Sure, that would definitely explain all about this incident, he thought. Holding pain, he walked towards them, bloods still dropping from his left arm. Man, it is just a minor bleeding. He ripped a portion of his left sleeve and wrapped his wound openings with it, better than ignored.

 

[Fussiler1]

Theos stopped as he heard Aeryl's words and abruptly turned around, staring coldly at her with a bitter grin, as if he was amused. He narrowed his eyes, but then he changed his look very suddenly to a mildly amused one and sighed, shaking his head with his eyes closed, as if he was deeply disappointed to hear such words from the faerie. In fact, he was disappointed with such words from a faerie he had deemed wiser at first sight. But first impressions weren't always right and this time it seemed he had been wrong. Alas.
Pfft.
''Just be quiet.'' he told her with a tone that was more appropriate used with the disciplining of a child than speaking to an adult.
Then he looked at the newcomer and said indifferently: ''We crashed.''

 

[Wolfe]

The faerie gazed at the tall human with a deathly look. This was typical. Humans treated other races, particularly faerie, as if they were children who lacked proper discipline. It infuriated her how they thought they were better. The greedy humans. The envious humans. The spiteful humans.

She smiled. They were all the same, why not treat them all the same. She strode past him, stepping on what appeared to be a human's head. She did so as if it was intentional. Yes, her hatred for these sinister mortal creatures was very, very powerful. "So tell me, why are you here? This is a human transport." She said, looking at the faerie woman in crimson.

 

[sanofa]

OOC: Is Aeryl standing on Vayne's head??

 

[Wolfe]

OOC: Why would she be standing on his head?

 

[sanofa]

She strode past him, stepping on what appeared to be a human's head.

OOC:Standing on what???
Just curious.

 

[-Peper-]

Standing on what???
Just curious.

OOC: Obviously dead human head duh.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Lena stiffened at Aeryl's accusation.
"You'd do well to watch your tongue young-ling, I'm just as Faerie as you.. More so, perhaps.." she smirked, flicking her wings. She strode over to Reix and grabbed him roughly by the arm, drawing out a sharp cry.
"Watch and learn" she murmured and swept her hand up Reix's.
The wound upon his arm began to ripple and distort, as if the skin itself was being turned to liquid. It continued to sway and shudder violently as it stitched itself back together under the Faerie's close administration.
Lena stepped back to admire her handy work, poking the human's skin with armored fingers.
"Best not risk it getting infected" she explained bluntly, obviously satisfied.

"As for your question? I've already answered it. We came to prevent exactly what has happened. We failed." she bowed her head for a second before straightening and addressing all those assembled.
"Now if you're all ready, we should head to Lyss, it would be unwise to.. dawdle"

DM Note; When 3-4 of you declare OOC: Ready - I'll move you to Lyss

 

[sanofa]

OOC : Ready!

IC
As I was standing there, ignored, I see faeries are still as lively as ever, always trying to pick a fight, I've encountered many faeries who act like that, so I'm okay. But there are a few faeries lost their wings... Must've done something wrong huh... I lifted up my hand, trying to break the argument." How long do we need to reach there?" I asked frankly, hoping the argument would stop.

 

[Wolfe]

"Ah, so technology does make you arrogant." She retorted. "Like the humans." She said, smirking as she began walking past the other crimson-armoured faerie.

OOC: Ready.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

"...Upon Reavers? No more than an hour, if you hold on tight" Lena shrugged, turning to the new riser.
Lena sighed, bowed her head and then leaped at Aeryl, catching her by the throat and with strength belying her kind lifted the abusive Faerie high.
"It's a shame. Of all the people arrayed here, I actually like the member of my own kin the least".
She reached over with her free arm and yanked off her helmet with a gasp, throwing it across the carriage.
"One more word... One more insult and... Damn you, you little bitch. I will make you squirm".
Lena released Aeryl and spun on her heel in the start of what was a rather flustered exit.

 

[Wolfe]

Aeryl was not surprised. "These machine-fae don't really show restraint. What a pity," she said, continuing off.

 

[-Peper-]

OOC: Ready
IC: Reix was amazed with the thing that the faerie did with his arm. I thought technology have blinded their eyes, no? He gazed at his now-looking-good left arm and back to the faerie "Thanks." He thanked, it was all necessary.

 

[Fussiler1]

OOC: Ready.

Theos laughed out loud when Aeryl was easily overpowered and lifted up. Honestly, he kept laughing and laughing until tears were streaming over his cheeks. This has been the most amusing thing he had seen in a while. Well, perhaps not the most amusing, but the most deserved thing. Arrogance was rewarded punishment, ah, how fitting, finally. He forgot the bodies around him and the smoldering wood and just kept laughing, until he was running out of breath to laugh. Slowly, he stopped and wiped the tears of joy away with the back of his hand, while shaking his head, still a bit chuckling.
''Oh you. You'd be wise not to confuse ambition with arrogance. It'd be nice if you would also stop confusing your arrogance with wisdom, youngling.'' he said, putting extra emphasis on the word youngling. He almost burst out in laughter again, but quickly shut his mouth.

 

[Wolfe]

Aeryl did not heed the words of the human. For as long as she had been part of their world, the humans made her the centre of their jokes. It was commonplace for her, until she heard the word youngling. That word sparked something in her. A door opened in her mind, a door to a very dark, dark place. He called her that. The human she so openly trusted. The one who then betrayed her. The man who made her the distrustful, human-hating faerie she was. Suddenly, she felt herself feeling around the train, all the metal and ruin. And then, in her head, there was a tug and suddenly shifted in a rapid motion, like a tremor. She held on to a pole to steady herself as she glared at Theos.

"Do not dare patronize me, darkblood. I have been in this world longer than even your parents and have seen what your wretched people are capable of." The memories came in waves now. A tear rolled down her face.

She then left, reflecting on the moment she started calling the humans darkbloods.

 

[Fussiler1]

Theos chuckled and grinned as the faerie lashed at him. Hit a nerve, had he? Perhaps brought back a memory? He had that too sometimes, but they were never clear. Always in.. bits and pieces, always terrible. Otherwordly. He wasn't sure if that was what happened, for maybe the word youngling was just a grave insult if spoken from the word of another species to a faerie. The former seemed more likely as she spoke about what she had seen.
Laugh.
He merely grinned and shook his head before he grabbed the kid and lifted him up on his shoulders, following Aeryl with a whistle. He quickly looked at his hand -- the pencil was still there. Phew. Suddenly he felt a small sting in his head and sighed. Headaches...

 

[sanofa]

"Please don't fight..." I watched, as those two kept arguing... Why won't human and faerie befriend each and another... I wonder whose the bastard that caused this stupid argues... I've traveled to many cities before, but I never saw any human and faerie didn't fought... This sad and cruel world... I hope these doesn't end up like what people do to each other...
I looked at the crimson red colored faerie "We're all ready to go, but lead us there".

 

[Grey Nightmare]

After a long and arduous journey, your party arrives at Lyss, under the guidance and protection of the Seventh Division.
The subways however, aren't quite as glorius.

Excavated around and under the primary city, the subways form a large and complex network of catacombs, sewers and caverns. Ripe with dirt, disease, crime and violence in equal and plentiful measures. As perfect as Lyss' proper may be, every light casts a shadow.

"The population is mostly non-human, infant mortality rate is high, laws are poorly enforced and pretty much everything sold in the markets is stolen" explained Lena as she led the way into a huge, open and cave-like hub.
"I wouldn't say we have "districts", not technically but the subways are most certainly divded into areas... Most are like this, great big domes cut into the earth, connecting many of the tunnels and catacombs. We're out of the skysphere influence here, living underground... For real."
