[IC] When the Darkness Comes

[xXSINXx]

Alexi woke up to see her room was darker than usual, thinking nothing of it, she lit a cigarette and continued to get dressed like every day. After getting dressed, Alexi pulled back the curtains to see dark skies and no sun. "It can't be." She said, looking at her phone and at her wall clock which both read 10:31 a.m.

"The fuck is this." Alexi said, now confused on either she woke up with the clocks set wrong or that darkness has taken over. As she made her way outside to get the newspaper, she stopped, realizing that there was no paper in her lawn, she now notice the town looked abandoned. "Okay this is weird." She said taking a drag of her cigarette

David woke up he slept in late today. It was 10:30 but it was still dark. "What ur hell?" He walked out side seeinf how dark it was. But it's the of the morning. Also where was everyone. "What's going on?"

[Thantos]

walks out of the funeral home and smiled as he looked up at the sight of a dark sunrise, a sight he has always wanted to see "Ahh, sweet darkness" he looked around at the graves on his property, and inhaled, then he went back inside and took a relaxing shower and got dressed wearing dark clothing and he went to check his to do list, seems he has a lot to do, "hmmmm, Vincent." waited for a response "Vincent?"

[Zetsuko]

Rico woke at his desk, sitting up slowly he saw it was still dark outside and was about to just go back to sleep when he noticed the clock said 10:33am "what..." he tapped the clock to see if it was stuck, which it wasn't, "...the hell?"

"Repent! Repent and be saved!" Some asshole was outside with a damn sign. ... Damn it's pretty dark out, wait... what time is it?

"I have seen the sign!" Aldaric was outside on the streets yelling around like a madman. He wasn't alone. A few people had come outside to join him, putting their hands together and panicking. "The Sun will turn as red as blood! Night unending! Now is the time to seek the One!"

Aldaric was a bit of a nut, but he was a devout nut. What no one else realized, was that he had himself been changed that morning. He watched in horror as the sun darkened after sunrise, blackness spiraling up from the earth into the sky deep into it's solar heart. At that very moment, Aldaric had cowered and prayed for protection. That was when he got his power.

Any direction Aldaric looked, the souls of those around him lit up like glow worms, like fireflies, catching his attention. These were the souls he must save! He would help them. he would be a light for them and strengthen their spirits.

"What's going on?"

Ramona pulled her curtains away from her windows, expecting to see light when only darkness appeared. A brisk look to the digital clock on her night stand told her only was morning- yet there was no sunlight. She walked out of he apartment door and down the stairs onto the street below. People were panicking, down the street she could hear someone yelling some type of religious babbling.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

Suddenly light shined on her face. She thought she would find this relieving, but her skin burned- everywhere the light touched made her feel like she would burst into ashes. She screamed and ducked from the light, escaping in the alleyway behind the apartment buildings. She fought for her breath, her chest heaving in labored efforts. Ramona brought her hands up to her face and noted that there was no blood, but the sting stayed on her skin.

"W-what's wr-wrong with me?"

[Zerofighter]

David walked around wonderng what was going on. He touched a street light that was still on. When he touched it something hapened. He felt stronger for some reason, but the street light, and the one next to it went out. He took his hand away and said "Thatwas weird.." David looked around trying to see if he could find anyone else

Quiet, empty and dark. These are the words that would come to mind when describing the small neighborhood that Maverick was making his way into. He walked down the middle of the street staring down, not at the ground, but past it as though it wasn't even there. He had on a jacket, T-shirt, black jeans and Converse that were all dirty and had dark crimson splotches stained on them save for his headphones. A cord ran from his headphones to his jacket pocket where his hands were currently. As he continued in his almost zombie walk down the street his mind was pledged by what he saw, still trying to rationalize it from just a few hours prior to him being here. "It's- it's not real." he said to himself. "It couldn't be. There is no way that something like this could happen. Someone must have slipped me something at the party, yeah." Maverick was referring to a party he was hired to DJ for where this nightmare had started for him. "Then I must have passed out for some reason, and now I am in some jacked up dream." Just when Maverick thought was reaching for an explanation to this mess he had realized that there was no way he was slipped any drugs because he had only drank two sodas, and they were both sealed laying at the bottom of the ice-chest.

What could explain what happened then? The party was winding down, and the sun coming up. Then blackness, blackness and screams for a full three minutes as people tried to figure out what was happening, and why they couldn't see. In the distance you could hear cars crashing and other sounds of disorder, but the worst of all was what followed the darkness. due to the streetlights still being on Maverick was able to catch glimpses of what was happening, but even that was more than he wanted. He was already in shock and his eyes were still adjusting to the dark, but he saw a black figure, that appeared rather large from what he could see, began killing people with its scythe like arms or weapons. More screams, lots of blood and even more panic than before.

Maverick was lost, and alone as he walked almost catatonic by all the houses. He had only been like this once in his life, but now it returned for different reasons and yet the same. Maverick had seen something that he couldn't believe was true, something that didn't make logical sense by any book, psychosis or theory he could come up with. He was so preoccupied with his thoughts he didn't even notice the young woman who had come out of her house seeming to be looking for something before muttering a few words and smoking her cigarette. He was walking somewhere he wasn't quite sure, but he knew nothing else to do.

Looks around the funeral home he owned and didnt see Vincent "What in the world is going on here" he heard voices coming from outside, "WHO'S THERE!" he walked outside and looked around and saw no one at first "SHOW YOURSELF!!" then with his command, a skeletons hand bursts out of a nearby grave and it clenched into a fist and then proceeded to climb out of the grave and look around. In shock he looked at the skeleton as it rose out of the grave and move around, What in the world is going on here?" he asked as he looked at his hands as a dark energy seemed to flow around them, like faint mist off a freezing cold bag of frozen veggies in a warm room, "I wonder" he waved his hands around and a blast of Dark Magic, shot out and blasted the skeleton to bits "WHOA!!" he looked down at his hands and swallowed some spit then he brought his hands together and a swirling ball of dark magic formed and he pulled his hands apart and it was like a small ripple of energy but it blanketed the graves like a dense fog "Amazing" he looked at his hands and then looked around and smiled as the fog seeped into the graves and he raised his hands and skeletons and corpses bursted out of the ground

[Wraithblade6]

"Repent. There is still hope!" Aldaric was going on, waving his cardboard sign. Then, he stumbled upon the funeral home with a ton of zombies popping out of the ground. "What unholiness is this?!? You there! Cease this evil deed and you will be absolved by the One." He pointed at Marcus.

[Zetsuko]

Despite it still being dark Rico had work to do grabbing some things from his desk and slinging his tri-staff on his back he set out, but when he got out the door he saw how dark it really was, and that there was no one around. "this is strange" he thought aloud as he walked down the street, he eventually came upon the funeral home seeing the zombies rising out of the ground and a man shouting at someone esle "what the hell!!"

[xXSINXx]

Alexi, now having an eerie feeling about the situation, grabs her Katanas and gets dressed. She then makes her way outside once more and she began, investigating , looking for some answer to all this. Alexi then noticed some creatures raising from the ground around a funeral home so she made her way there. She crashed through the window into a building full of these monsters . (Note these are grunts so zombies, skeleons, ect. so they are slow but are dangerous in hordes)

[Thantos]

looked at the three new comers to his funeral home "Unholiness, I have no idea how im doing this" he looked at the preacher, "I know this much, it is interesting" he then looked at the others that showed up on his property then back at the horde of the walking corpses and skeletons and pondered "UNDEAD MINIONS LISTEN TO ME" he raised his hands and shouted at the creatures rising out of the ground, "IT IS ALRIGHT, YOU MAY GO BACK AND BE AT PEACE" he lowered his hands expecting to see the zombies and skeletons go back into their graves and rest

[Mbarnes]

Slowly Ramona stood from the wet ground of the black alley. Her legs trembled as she peeked around the corner, trying to avoid the light that caused her pain. She wasn't sure what was going on, but she couldn't hide in the alley for the rest of her life. A street lamp lit the roads, which meant Ramona couldn't travel them unless she could destroy the lights.

Ramona stared at the street lamp, herons working as to how she could disable the light. She was staring so intently the shadow that slipped from her body went unnoticed. Suddenly with the found of breaking glass the street lamp died. Ramona looked around , trying to decipher what just happened. Had she just done that to the lamp without touching it?

She focused on another lamp doen the street and noticed the blackass come around the light . The glass shattered to the street below and Ramona walked farther down the blackened street- in search of someone-anyone to tell her what was happening.

[Zerofighter]

David saw the dead rising and ran back into his house grabbing his staff. He ran back to the funeral home ready to take them on. He didn't know what the hell was going on but this looked like it was going to be fun. He was ready to take on these zombies, he wondered who else was here.
