Could anyone let me know if the red I use when Deston talks hearts their eyes? I'm struggling a little bit picking out a color.
I think the red looks fine on my end.
After arriving in a dark spot of a back alley, Nemo began to wander aimlessly throughout New York. He tried to examine what had changed in the years he spent locked up; which was arguably, not that much from first impressions. However he would eventually find that while people weren't quite in hoverboards yet, the inner works of New York had undergone quite a few changes.
Nemo wasn't lying on the note, after taking a tourist brochure he started to cross things off the list throughout the day-including the art shows and food he mentioned earlier. He used the time to gather as much information as he could. Nemo figured his best bet was eavesdropping on anybody with a significant mana pool. As someone who consumes mana for power, it goes without saying that his manalysis was quite advanced. Even developing the ability to track another person's mana trail like a bloodhound.
It wasn't long until Nemo got a lock onto someone. While ordering a bratwurst from a street vendor he noticed somebody with sizable mana pool. He started to tail the man, using his trail to keep track of him from a distance. After a minute the man abruptly turned into an alleyway, causing Nemo to quickly scarf down the rest of his meal and turn into the alley as well. He sensed the man had come to a stop around the corner. Something that would of alerted most people, but Nemo didn't seem to be worried.
When he turned the corner he was met with a scene even he wasn't expecting: Three men. The Talent from before was joined with two Untalent men wearing half masks and hats. One of them brandishing a cane. As soon as Nemo met the gaze of the party, the Talent set off a spell from the ground that quickly spread throughout the whole alley like a wave. It covered the area in a giant semi-transparent bubble that sealed them off from the public. A type of trap spell often used to hide battles from the common folk.
As soon as the spell completed, the man with the cane began to laugh. He stepped forward with a slow clap before addressing Nemo. "You know, I'm really quite surprised. When I heard you got out I thought you'd be gone for good. And yet here you are, walking right into my sights... Looks like it's my lucky day." The man opened, pulling his mask down afterwards.
It didn't take Nemo long to realize what had happened. The Talent was bait for him to run into a Witch Hunter ambush. Nemo gave a small smirk after the first man spoke. "Well, if it isn't the three stooges. Hold your horses there Moe, I'm not here to cause any trouble with you, I'm just trying to find someone today, Raiya Mamushi." He explained.
"Of course you'd be looking for her wouldn't you? You'd be in good company with that treacherous snake. Headed for the Lightning Capital to cut a deal with her huh? Trying to exchange something for her protection?" The man spat back.
"You're close." Nemo retorted.
"No matter, the only place you're headed for is that cell of yours back in Mamertine. That or maybe I'll send you straight to the creator myself." He said, stomping his cane on the cement. It was at that point Nemo realized this wasn't any regular group of Salem hunters, it was a group of ex-Disciples turned Church members. Their small sect served as a special operations group.
"Oh come on boys, don't be like that. I've got somebody who's gonna be really upset if he finds out I killed anyone today." Nemo pleaded.
"So you can't kill us? That should dull your edge quite a bit." The hunter with the cane said with a smirk as he prepared himself.
Nemo's humored attitude and expression seemed to fade after the cane wielder's last response. "No... no, you see that's not what I said. I said he's gonna be upset if he finds out I killed anybody." Nemo interjected. "If nobody sees it... didn't happen." He finished as his head cocked to the side.
About seven minutes later Nemo walked out from the alley, spinning the hook of the hunter's cane around his hand while humming a tune to himself. He then launched it into a nearby trash bin. Even though it had gotten dark, that conflict wasn't for nothing. His plan worked out in the end. While talking earlier he heard the leader use the term "Lightning Capital" like it was a location. It took a few tries, but eventually somebody was able to point him to a large Asian district when he brought up the term.
Nemo took a train to the district, knowing he was starting to waste valuable time at this point. After exiting the station he finally got to get a good look at the area; that's when he knew he was lost. Nemo didn't know how to read any of the signs besides some random scattered English words, nor did he have any luck speaking to anybody as well. Most people seemed to be ignoring him. On top of that, this district seemed to be quite developed and prosperous compared to the others. While it might be good for the residents, the increase in size was making Nemo's task even harder.
Nemo was beginning to lose hope until he noticed a lot of faint mana trails leading to the center of the district. As he followed them he began to sense large pools of mana in the distance. While all the food of the ethnic markets and street vendor stands were greatly enticing him, he knew he had blown all of his free time that he could. Nemo figured he was on the right track when things seemed to get increasingly more shady as he got closer to the source of the trails.
Soon enough the source finally came into view: A very large stone building with oriental accents and two blue neon signs. One with Japanese symbols for "Raikyo" And the other with larger English lettering for "Lightning Capital" right below it. Besides the two titles were large flashy lightning bolts. Judging from the loud music blaring out from the building Nemo guessed it was some sort of nightclub.
Nemo adjusted his jacket and made his way for the door. However his sense of accomplishment was quickly taken from him when a rock solid hand pushed him back. Nemo's most formidable enemy yet: The Doorman. He stood a good four inches above Nemo, with slicked back black hair, a black t-shirt and earpiece. Clearly not recognizing Nemo the man simply looked down on him.
"Open Sesame?" Nemo stated to him, hoping he'd catch a break.
The Doorman didn't seem to be amused. He extended his hand to turn him away. "Get the hell outta he-" Was the only thing the man was able to get out before Nemo grabbed his arm and pulled him towards him, knocking him off balance. Nemo then swiftly used his strength and free hand to slam the doorman's head into the stone wall and knock him unconscious.
With that taken care of, he was finally able to enter the club. However what he had done so far was sadly only the easy part.

@Cottonmouth
Awesome to hear. I put up my CS and start devising a post. I anticipate having it up later in the evening.
<Snipped quote by Cottonmouth>
One of the more humorous quotes thought up at the time. Should have plenty more eventually.
Sadly I only play on the Xbox 360 and sometimes the Xbox One.
Ah drat, gotta Xbox 360 your life around to a PS3/4 playa.
Though I suppose if the new Gears turns out to be good I might pick up XB1 then. However what I've seen so far hasn't given me a lot of hope personally.
Hey guys, I'm pretty sure I'm on the opposite schedule as everyone else so @Prodigal Son totally has my permission to godmod Deston for right now just to help expedite the process of getting everyone in to IC. It's 2130 over here and I do enjoy my beauty sleep when I've got a long couple days of work ahead of me.
As long as he can make of some sort of response for your character within reason that should work out fine. Afterwards you were gonna be stuck at the cabin a bit by yourself anyways. So it works out pretty good actually.
Judging by your status it sounds like you're in a foreign country, anywhere cool?
Nemo gave Felix a wave and a grin as he left him for the next person on the list. "You have my word Glasius, I'll be a cool cat." He responded and then took another sip from his glass.
"He should of put more restrictions on me than that..." Nemo thought.
Things dimmed down real quick after Felix departed. Nemo kicked his legs up on the lip of the table and pushed his chair back; causing it to balance on two legs. He hummed himself a song and waited for a while. But soon enough Nemo's patience began to dwindle. He let his chair fall back onto four legs, finished his drink, and then spawned two cards in his hand with a flashy show of sleight of hand, apparently only to impress himself. He slapped them down face up on the table, revealing what they were: Two teleportation spells inscribed onto cards. Valid for only one use each.
Nemo had no long distance teleportation spells of his own, so he relied on other external means to get the job done. They way he saw it, he had the golden ticket to both pass the time and get himself back to the cabin as well right in front of him.
As Nemo stared at the two cards, a small smirk crept up on his face, clearly he had someplace in mind. He put one of the cards away and got up. Nemo found himself a sticky note and left a message for Felix stuck to the Fridge:
"Dear Felix: Got bored and decided to go to New York and get my bearings back, take in the fresh city air, try some of the cuisine, visit an art show or two, get into a violent clash with a certain gang, the usual tourist pleasantries. I'll try to behave my best."
Directly afterward he drew a rather overly detailed smiley face on the bottom right of the note.
Nemo spawned his coat and scarf, tying the polka dot scarf into a loose knot below his right below his chest. He walked back over to the table with the remaining teleportation card and placed his bandaged hand over it. There was a rather bright glow that encompassed the room as Nemo activated it and designated his destination. After a few seconds another bright flash of white energy in the shape of an X appeared in the room. By the time the flash dissipated, Nemo had as well.

@Cottonmouth Cowboy baby(who looks manlier than 90% of man worldwide), have I been accepted?
I was just getting to you laddy, had to do a few school related things first.
So here's the deal.
Unless @Prodigal Son wakes up and thinks I'm in the wrong and vetos my decision. From my perspective there still are some things that aren't up to standard and I feel need to be changed or improved.
Since you seem like a eager persistent fellow, I can offer you this:
I'll hit you up a pm, and we'll discuss your character and make improvements mano e mano. I'll give you all the advice I can, and if you can work with me to the end of it, you should be set to join.
Sound good?
(Might take me a bit to send pm because of an all nighter. We should have time anyways due to how people are being recruited like I said before)
I think I just pulled an all nighter...
I apologize for the delay; work tends to cover most of the afternoon and the evening for me nowadays.
Here is my CS - Please inform me if I need to make any changes.
I pulled an all nighter as well. Feel like I'm gon' pass out but I should get out this one reply while I work on a IC post.
You're accepted, feel free to post your sheet in the characters section and start your first post. But I should warn you beforehand (this goes out to everyone as well) since @Prodigal Son is recruiting characters and writing them in 1 by 1 into the group with Felix, it might take a lil' bit before he gets to you due to the build up of players wanting to join at once. Hopefully it goes fast.
-PS, I got a kick out of that Soul Weaving quote at the end of the backstory section.
-PSS, I couldn't help but notice the Destiny avatar. I don't suppose you play on the ps4?
Nemo mentally took notes as Felix explained the situation. He went over to the to the fridge, found some juice, and poured it out into a glass like it was a fine scotch before sitting down.
"I see, so democracy didn't go well." Nemo commented. "I've found that negotiations often go that kinda way for me. Especially with gang related individuals. Sometimes you have to take... a different route with them." He explained, taking a swig from his glass mid sentence.
He shrugged. "Well, I'm sure the situation will work itself out one way or another." He finished.

@Prodigal Son the only dark thing I had was the hood and the ring...
While that might be the only immediate thing appearance wise. In the personality and the backstory it leans towards a more shadowy theme as well. And that's just something that a couple of people (including myself) have already done. It's gonna stack up too much.
