I'm pretty far away, Kei-chan is all the way in Luzon. Stay safe Kei-chan >-<)/ though last I heard it's only storm signal number 1? So it should only include heavy rainfall and wind at most? OTL I'm not too sure, but that's what I heard.

Have fun studying Rex and best of luck! ^^

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Thanks for the heads up, Four :)! Best of luck with that test.

I'm getting hyped as well >w<! Give this witch a beating she won't forget! Or you'll all die, horrible, gruesome deaths.

Avian x Blobby x Leon is so awesome, you'll end up melting <3 In acid goop

Amy and Tobias? Lucien gave them both a grin.

The former stilled looked kind of out of it and the latter, he looked upset, which was very understandable. Well, it looked like it was up to him to raise their spirits! As they walked down the halls, Lucien spun around so he was facing them and was again walking backwards. "I used to own a book about anti gravity, I couldn't put it down." Whether or not Tobias and Amy were annoyed, he didn't really notice. The summoner was too busy laughing at his own jokes.

"I have another one! I used to be addicted to soap, but I'm clean now." He struck a silly pose only to crash into one of the walls. Oh wow, had they reached the end of a hallway already? So much for staying cool. He floundered around for a moment, worried that a vase or something would fall over, but then he remembered most of the things had already been kept away.

The summoner turned a light shade of red then slowly made his way behind his companions. "Tobias, you know this place well, so we'll follow you." Lucien nodded his head then gave the man a salute.

Xan gave both Marcus and Dylan a determined nod. "A hundred men, huh? Sounds very impressive, we'll just have to see the masked phantom get past everyone." One person against so many of them? Why did the masked phantom announce his presence again? Xan shook her head, overthinking never really helped and the man's motives would hopefully be made known in due time.

She turned to give the matter artist a smile. "Studying here must have been some experience? Did you do exhibits all the time?" She hadn't seen Dylan paint yet, but everyone talked about how beautiful it was. She had seen him draw in Los Paraisos, but that was pretty much it. She then looked around, so far it was peaceful but Xan couldn't help but wonder if anything would go wrong. Danger always seemed to follow the pride.

I'm fine with either as well :D! Whatever the majority prefers.

I'm going to call the next post.

Edit: Posted. Short though ;A; I'm sorry.

Dang, things are getting super intense <3! I'll have a post up tomorrow.

Official panic buddies, awesome! Anddd we have our first 100 IC posts :D

Mizos said Hmmm knowing him he'd probably comment how cool it is before going to get rum so he doesn't have to fight it sober.

Bah, has Luro ever been sober? :P

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Everything pretty much went to hell, and Harper hacked away, the liquid inside his amulet decreasing with each slash.

In movies, desperate situations usually triggered a slow motion moment, but unfortunately, none of that was true. Things were moving at a ridiculously fast pace and there wasn't even enough time to think. At one moment he'd be raising his sword and at the next he'd hear a sickening crack and find his sword buried into one of the zombie's necks. Despite how pale he looked, the boy's expression was blank. Harper didn't seem to notice all the zombie blood that had gotten onto his clothes and skin, or maybe he was just beyond caring.

At one point he recalled something grabbing him. He felt its bone-like fingers on his arms, and felt one of the zombie's revolting breath on his face. He didn't understand what happened next but he found himself standing over the thing. He stabbed it again and again and again, until its insides were pouring out of it and onto the cracked earth.

“Harper!”

He was snapped out of his thoughts and for the first time, he realized he was covered in black, tar-like blood. A horrified expression crossed his features but before he could feel sick about it, his eyes landed on a distressed looking Leila, and the zombie that was right behind her. Thankfully, Inadi appeared just in time. Harper scrambled forward deciding to make this way towards his friends. It didn't matter that there were zombies in his way, for once in his life, he was going to take charge! He rammed into one of the things with his shoulder, sending it crashing into a nearby tree. The force knocked him back a little and when another zombie tried to reach out, he cleaved its arm clean off with a panicky upward slash.

The liquid in his amulet was down to half now. So the next zombie the appeared got a hilt of the sword to the face instead.

Funny, how fear could force even the most timid of people to battle. Jasper, Inadi, Leila, none of them were warriors, but here they were, knocking zombies to the ground. The absurdity of it all almost made him want to laugh and scream at the same time.

There was a bright light and suddenly a loud and majestic neigh echoed across the forest.

"I guess we have an ally now," Harper couldn't help but smile and for a moment a feeling of peace washed over him. It was things like this that made Nowhere a beautiful place. The unicorn easily began to toss several of the undead aside and in a matter of moments, the ground was littered with corpses who couldn't even pull themselves to their feet. "Leila, we'll cover you." He snatched up a nearby arrow and handed it to her. "Do you think you can aim for that crow?" He pointed to a particularly sinister looking bird with blood-red eyes.

He turned to Inadi. "This is all just a distraction, she's trying to keep us away from the real threat." He tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword. If he was a mage, he would have tried blasting that bird to bits. The unicorn was doing a mighty fine job at keeping the zombies at bay, now was their chance. "Hey guys..." he didn't exactly sound like we was there. "Let's go for the witch."

The black bird cawed from it's place on a branch. Smart boy...whoever these humans were, they were amusing. Maybe she'd be kind enough to give them a quick death? Nah, that wouldn't be fun, wouldn't be fun at all.



"Lesley, you are a freaking genius!" Riley practically tackled the man into a hug. She noticed the sick looking Jasper and pulled the girl into the hug as well. "Damn, you two are just amazing." She watched as the now good unicorn kicked two zombies' heads clean off their shoulders.

They needed this, they needed all the help they could get. This was like their trump card.

Untangling herself from the hug, she ruffled Jasper's hair then gave Lesley a tap on the back. This was far from over, but this sudden miracle was just the break they needed. The thankful unicorn had both power and speed and it easily plowed through the witch's rotting friends. It was the equivalent of using a machete on butter or a Pikachu on a Magikarp! Super effective to the freaking nth power!

She turned to look at how the others were holding up. Avian had taken care of a bloated thing she had never seen before and Ace was standing not too far from him. Harper hacked off a zombie's leg before he cupped his hands around his mouth.

"Leon! Whip up a storm so the birds can't fly."

Suddenly it hit her. It was the witch who was doing all this, so if they took her out then they wouldn't have to deal with the zombies. Riley grinned from ear to ear, "The black bird with red eyes! If we take that out we can rescue the dragon and go get out of this spooky forest."

The wind mage closed his eyes and poured out his energy into whipping up a chaotic breeze. The normal crows flew off in fright and the only one that remained was the one with glowing red eyes. "THERE!"

Hakuren smirked, "perfect!" The air around him went cold and he soon he had an icicle in his hand. He took aim and threw it right at that ugly bird. It sailed right into the thing's chest and the animal plummeted to the ground. It was frozen and as soon as it came into contact with the earth, it shattered into several tiny pieces. Was it over? The simplicity of it stunned even Hakuren, but soon enough he was grinning confidently. "Now, now, no need to applaud." He kicked at the shattered bird on the ground when something froze him in place.

Riley's expression was one of disbelief and Hakuren understood that something was terribly wrong.



The shadow underneath his feet slowly began to take form and soon the witch appeared, her lips against his ear and a hand on his shoulder. "Prideful," she dug her nails into Hakuren's shoulder, causing him to bleed.

For a few moments, he didn't move, simply froze, eyes wide in shock. This was the most frightened they had ever seen Hakuren be. The ice mage wrenched free, grabbed a rock then spun around to smash it into the witch's head. But something wasn't right...

Just as the rock was about to connect with her skull, she vanished into a puff of dark mist and Hakuren stumbled forward.

She reappeared behind him and with a snap of her fingers sent him tumbling back. The ice mage let out a surprised yell as he was tossed across the forest like a rag doll. The witch turned to face the royal dragoon and the remaining humans. "You wanted to see me?" Her lips quirked up into a smile. "I'll make you regret it..." and suddenly the skeletons began dropping one by one.

"Haku!" Leon dashed forward, in a rush. His friend looked pretty out of it and had slammed into a tree. He ran, but suddenly one of the tree's roots snaked around his ankles and he fell face first into the ground. The witch lifted him up by the collar of his shirt, as if he weighed nothing. The next thing Leon knew, he was thrown right into Avian at a tremendous speed.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Leila's been stabbing a lot of things in the eye lately, ahahaha.

If they leave Nowhere, they'll defo need some mental help. Most of them live in different parts of the world, right? Sucks that they'll be torn away from the only people who'll understand 8D! Ehehe, yush, these hoomans defo deserve a break.

I'm gonna get to work on a post (^w^)/

Edit: Anyone wanna ride on the unicorn 8D? //shot

Double Edit: Posted :)! Guys, feel free to go for the witch. Like during the mushroom fight you can get her to do small actions and move her around to further your posts and attacks. Remember, if you want to beat her, it'll need to be through teamwork. Good luck xD

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Have a safe trip, Kathi-chan :D!

Ahahaha, Lesley and Jasper are Disney princesses <3! I'll post after MUG does :) though he might be busy with his family, so if he doesn't manage to get one up by tonight then I'll just go ahead and write up my move-along-post.

Announcement

Annnd, we were discussing stuff on the Skype group and decided that after this chapter ends, we won't proceed to chapter five directly. As you guys already know, there'll be a two month (human time) time skip between this chapter and the next. Instead of just skipping those two months, we'll RP a portion of it. Think of it as a chapter break of sorts. It'll be a chill period filled with downtime. Aki brought up the idea and we thought it'd defo help everyone get some more bonding time :)! They can bring up their back stories and it'll be a nice way to ease Toby and Ran into the group before any of the actual missions and life threatening scenarios.

It wasn't part of our outline, so we don't really have solid ideas, but you guys will be free to do whatever. Like they could get drunk on Two-Third's tea and start spewing out facts about their life, or Martini could host a fashion show and have Lesley and Inadi model her clothes. Anything goes~! This'll last around a week or two. Then when this is over, we'll come up with random events for the past two months, hash out everyone's relationships and then move on to the Steampunk Chapter. It'll pretty much be the half point and turning point of this RP. How does this sound? Suggestions? If you guys want to bring anything up, just toss them at us (^w^)b! We really appreciate your ideas.

Like this unicorn idea <3! Awesome job you guys, this chapter is going really, really swell. It's also been the easiest one to move along since you've all been so consistent and participative.

Welp, announcements aside, how are you all doing on this lovely mornight? (^w^)/
