Between Heaven and Hell IC
(This is a closed roleplay between Greystone777, Silverfire, and Shadowfox66)

The world as we know it is about to change. The world around us is about to become a battle ground, and before we know it, we will be thrown into a new lifestyle in which all out choices may affect the world around us and even ourselves then even before possible. A great war is coming, and we may be the only ones who can change the fate of the universe. For now though, our Hero’s are going about their normal days, but soon their whole world as they know it will be changed forever.

Shenaco held her knife in her mouth as she struggled with the limbs on the large tree in front of her. The forest around her was full of beautiful trees that stretched to the skies and the lake nearby held the singing sounds of birds that filled the air. Her face held a smile as she wrapped her legs around the trunk of the tree and started to pull herself up to middle of the tree. As she laid her bottom on the tree she let out a small sigh and wiped her brow of perspiration and placed her knife back into her boot. She scanned the tree line and watched as saw a fox going across the ground not too far from her, she slowly moved across the tree branch holding on to the tree as she made her way closer to the water. The slow sloshing of the tide was music to her ears and the smell of the sweet air was blissful. She quickly grabbed onto the branch above her and brought herself to her feet. She swung her backpack around to the front of her and hung it on a close branch and then started to unzip her jeans and slowly tried to take them off. Her pants where down to her knees when her leg tripped up on the branch and her hand that was still hanging on to the branch above slipped a little. She quickly regained her balance and she managed to stop herself from falling to the moss covered rocky ground below. Her heart was pounding in her chest, but she was mostly safe once more.

She finished taking off her pants and she shoved them into her back pack near the bottom and then she lowered herself to sit on the branch once more and made sure was stable before taking off her shirt to reveal that she was wearing her bathing suit underneath. It was covered in red and filled in with white dots. She took in a large breath of air and slowly let it out as she tried to calm her nerves. She grasped her now full backpack and dropped it to the ground below as well as grasping her knife from her boot and letting it fall to the ground below.

I can do this now. Just run and jump and you will be able to dive right into that cool water… She readied herself for the plunge and then she let her feet carry her forward to the end of the branch. She dove into the air and she closed her eyes, and took in one last deep breath. The air that enveloped her body disappeared and the cool water of the lake covered her body causing goose bumps on her skin to spring up. She opened her eyes as she pumped her powerful legs and used her arms to swim to the surface. As she broke the surface her lungs pumped in tons of air into her body. She was now in the middle of the lake and she started to swim back to the shore.

Kaysey slipped between the hustle and bustle of the crowded restaurant, going towards the table she had yet to serve. Her small stature made it easy to get past the normally much larger men she served, but occasionally made it harder, as they don't notice her as often as Tracy, the 5'9" blonde haired, blued eyed babe she worked with. She grabbed her pad and a pencil and looked at the table of four guys.
"So what can I get you gentlemen to drink tonight?" She asked, a smile across her face. They all hollered at the television behind her, and then looked down at her blankly.
"Say that again?" The ringleader said, and she repeated her question patiently. "Oh, beers to go around." He said, and the rest of the table cheered. He winked at her and she smiled back, scribbling that down.
"Can I fetch you anything to eat? Wings, fries, sandwiches, burgers?" She asked and Got three orders of wings and two orders of burgers. "Alright then, I'll be right back!" She said, and then slipped through the crowd, wincing once when a heavy set man accidentally stepped on her foot. She got an apology, and nodded it off. She clipped the order onto the zip line and sped it down to the kitchen, pulling four beers from the tap and putting them on the tray. She hummed as she did so, waiting patiently for the foam to reach near the top, but not close enough to slop over much as she worked her way back through the crowd.

She got halfway back through the swarm and then disaster struck. Someone backed into her, sending all four of the mugs of beer down her shirt. She gasped at the cold and then flinched at how the mugs clattered on the floor in the quickly shushing bar. All eyes were on her white shirt and her lacy, pale blue bra. She smiled and picked up the four mugs, bringing them back to the taps to get washed and possibly replaced. Luckily, the glass was thick, made for the probability of getting dropped, and she just placed them in the bin to get washed.
"Hey, Tracy? Can I ask a favor of you? I dropped some mugs of beer and I need to get these to the fellas, could you start putting out signs and moppin'? I'll start as soon as I drop these off, okay?" She asked, obviously flustered and trying to wring out her shirt as she filled up new mugs with more beer.
"Sure, I can do that." Tracy grinned. "Nice bra, Kay." With a blushing smile, Kay zipped back out and around the crowd this time to the group of guys at her table. As she approached, the conversation stopped and the amount of eye contact she got significantly dropped (as in never occurred).
"Here you guys go, sorry about the wait, as you can see, I dropped the earlier ones." She said, keeping cheer in her voice, a smile on her face and a blush off.
"'S fine...." The 'leader' said, sliding the drinks to his buddies as he stared at her chest. "We can handle a wait."
"Alright then, I'll be right back with your food, it should be coming up 'round right now." She said and scooted off to go see if any of the gals had a clean shirt she could borrow.

A motionless figure slumped over a leaning chair just inside the guardhouse at the gate. Tiberius walked over, hand on his holster ready to draw his sidearm. As he approached the hatch he saw the slow rise and fall of breathing in the Watch's chest. Tiberius exhaled, and he softened his composure as he walked in.
"Hey, wake up YN2" said Tiberius as he nudged the legs of the leaning chair. YN2
grunted as he sat up. "My bad Stone, I must have dozed off while staring at nothing. Ah, shit. I drooled on the watch log." muttered YN2. "Its fine man, it happens. just be glad it wasn't chief or someone important." Mused Tiberius.
"But Stone, you're like a legend on base, being a war hero. We don't get too many SEALs around base, most of 'em are out east right now. With troop deployments on the rise and all that. You wouldn't believe all the Mobilization orders I've been putting through." said YN2. Tiberius walked over to the table and set down a plastic bag. He pulled three paper parcels from the bag and set them down on to the table. "I brought Lunch from the PX" here's a burrito for you man." YN2 grabbed the burrito from Tiberius. He munched on the end of it as he asked "What's your first name by the way? I bet a stone cold killer like you has something awesome.""It's Tiberius. I'm Tiberius Stone"
YN2 stood up from his chair. "Well, I guess its time for the changeover." He snapped to attention as Tiberius soon followed suit. "I Special Operations Petty Officer Second class Stone properly relieve you." Tiberius saluted YN2.
"I Yeoman Second class Brown stand properly relieved." Brown returned the salute. "Wow, I saluted THE Tiberius Stone. Have a good watch man, and thanks a bunch for the chow. It wasn't your responsibility." yelled Brown as he walked away. "Neither was those men, but why do I feel responsible?" ,thought Tibuerius. He shook himself and sat down to eat his food. Tiberius' eye wouldn't stop twitching.

The clock clicked by during their usual day, and our heroes went on through their normal activities. Soon, day turned to night, and the change in their world came closer. Now only a few hours remained before their world would be turned inside out.

Shenaco smiled as she swam to the shore of the lake, her body was sore from a day of swimming and the water glistened in the setting sun. A cool breeze shook the leaves of the trees overhead and the blowing air cooled her skin, causing her to shiver slightly. She threw her feet under her and dug her toes into the sand under the water. She grabbed her hair and wrung out some of the water as she came across the dry dirt of the forest floor, a smile stood slung across her face and it didn’t take her long to make it back to her back pack and start to grab out the towel she brought with her. She patted her damp skin with the soft red towel before wrapping her wet hair in the soft piece of cloth. Leaning against a tree she took off her boots and let the water flow out of them dumping the liquid across the forest floor.

Why the hell did I forget to take off my boots the entire time I was gone swimming… With a quick hand she grasped her clothes and slowly started to put on her jeans. The sun was setting quickly and she knew she should get back home before the darkness went across the forest floor. She was sure that she could be lost if that were to happen. She pulled her shirt over her head taking a deep breath into the mostly clean cotton and then with it set into place her feet started to slowly move across the grassy floor. The smell of sweet honey suckle swarmed her nose and she took in another deep breath. With her back pack on and the knife hanging off her belt loop she started to leave for home. The forest was quickly darkening and it didn’t take long before the entire place would be enveloped in the darkness of night, with nothing but the moon to lend her it’s light. The howl of a wolf made her jump a little and she grasped for the nearest weapon that she could find. That was a rather large stick with one end making it look more like a club then a branch from a tree. Her heart raced as her pulse pounded and she looked around to see what made the howl that shook her confidence a little, but nothing could be seen.

With a beer stained t-shirt clinging to her skin and a damp rag in her hand, Kaysey sighed. She was finally finished with her long shift. She dropped the rag into the bin for rags to get washed and slowly walked to the back. In the break room behind the kitchen, she collapsed onto one of the chairs. Another gal was in back, hurriedly eating some dinner before she went back out onto the floor to continue serving. They smiled at one another, but said nothing, as one was in a hurry and the other was too tired to say anything. The other gal left after a few minutes, and Kay slowly got to her feet. She walked over to the computer sitting on a desk in the back corner and slide her time card across the slit in the keyboard. A little green light blinked, and then a pop up appeared, reading:

Have a good night, Kaysey.

She shivered a little bit. That always freaked her out, how it only said her first name. She took a deep breath and clicked the mouse over the exit on the pop up. Kay stood again and walked to her boss's office.
"Hey, Mister Cadwell? May I get my bag from the drawer?" She asked. Distractedly, he nodded, bent over some paperwork. He was a thin, balding man with beady blue eyes and a large nose. He had worry lines etched into his forehead and cheeks around his mouth, making it seem like he's perpetually frowning. When she approached his desk, he scooted out of the way on his fancy rolling chair, and she opened the bottom drawer. She moved a few purses out of the way and then grabbed hers, wriggling the slim bag out from under all the large bags. After she fetched that night's tips, she waved a farewell to the few other waitresses she could see and started walking home.

As she was walking, she hummed softly, a marching tune. She loved this tune, it always seemed to make her walk faster. Soon, she was at her apartment, and was digging through her purse for her keys.
"Now where did I put those doggone things?" She muttered, frowning at the depths of her bag. A faint jingle caught her attention and she fished them out from under the small notebook she kept for grocery lists. A smile crossed her face like quick silver, and she stuck the key in the lock and... Locked herself out of her own apartment. She narrowed her eyes.
"I could've sworn I locked it this mornin'." She crossed her arms, the key dangling from the lock. She shrugged and unlocked the door, slipping inside. She flicked the light on and closed her eyes, the light making her eyes see red, even though they were closed. She'd always loved doing that. It was like still seeing the light even though you couldn't really see anything. She felt a warm, soft body rubbing against her legs and she smiled.
"Heya, Chloe. How was your day?" She asked the large Maine Coon. Her fur was patches of white and what the person selling Chloe called "silver". It looked more like grey, but whatever made them happy was fine by her. The cat meowed a few times, and Kay imagined they were talking as she began walking towards the kitchen.
