Best of luck with History, Kimchi! Jotting down a bazillion dates and events is always @-@

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

The City of Cogs and Gears:

"Hah, I might not have Aced the landing." Riley held back a snort, "but hey, at least I didn't get stuck in a tree, just kidding, Harper!" The girl gave the duo a peace sign then watched as Ace came to the boy's rescue. They'd only been here for what? A few minutes? Hell, it was impossible to tell, but it was all so perfect. She couldn't wait to look around, and was sure that some of the others probably felt the same way. The girl turned to Leila and Jasper, the quieter members of their little family then grinned. "Are you two okay?"

Harper let out a relieved sigh, "thanks for the save." The boy gave Ace a grin but it turned into a grimace when she mentioned getting a hoverboard. As much as he trusted Ace, he thought giving her a hoverboard or anything capable of flight wouldn't be such a good idea. Of course, this had nothing to do with her skill. His friend could handle herself just fine, but there was no doubt she'd do something reckless and that, well, it'd give them all mini-heart attacks.

He narrowed his eyes playfully then smiled, "hmm, maybe we should get you a bike instead Ace, or skates...something you can't be reckless on"

"Puhlease, when is Ace not reckless." Riley gave the duo a mischievous grin then turned her head when she heard Toby and Jasper talking excitedly. Well, whaddya know, there was a hoverboard store right here. But aside from Ran...they were all pretty broke.

Speaking of Ran...



"Human, you are disregarding your safety! OH ALL THAT IS HOLY BROCCOLI!" Japhet's eyes looked like they were going to pop out. "Why aren't you wearing a parachute!" He held his breath in terror and watched as the bike whirred around the sky.

Then suddenly, a girl soared about the out of control bike and dropped down on the back seat.

Riley recognized her as the woman Ran had knocked off the hoverbike.

"You idiot!" She reached over his shoulders and for a moment the bike spun out of control. But before they could drop out of the sky or crash into one of the towers the Nobody managed to regain control of the thing and they landed (not smoothly) not too far from where the humans stood.

"You're lucky I have wings! You almost killed me you jerk!"

Niran was apologizing profusely though at first he looked very happy to see that she was okay.

Japhet approached and realized that it was Nympha. Ah...he'd get her some free bike parts if she agreed to let this slide. "Nympha, sorry, sorry, I'll be taking the humans off your hands now. Don't tell the commander anything," he frowned, "I'll get you some spare parts in returned."

She looked very upset but the Nobody grabbed Ran by the shoulders and began ushering him away. "Come now...we've dilly dallied long enough."

The Museum:



"Private, Breeze, just the people I've been looking for." Lt. Falkner appeared behind them and placed a hand on each their shoulders. She was surprised to see Est awake...in fact, she had already prepared to give him another scolding, so this was a pleasant surprise. "Have the humans arrived yet?" She was certain Japhet would bring them on time, but before she could say anything else, Japhet appeared pushed open the doors, a bunch of humans behind him.

"There you are," she watched as he shuffled uncertainly. "You're late."

"Sorry about that Lieutenant," he gave her a salute. "Let's just say something silly happened along the way."

She didn't have time for this, she'd need to meet the corporal by the gate ASAP. "Humans," she nodded her head in their direction and smiled. "Welcome to the city and the museum, pretty isn't it? Today, I'll be leaving you in Breeze, Est, and Japhet's care."

"Wait me?" Japhet looked confused.

"Yes, I already contacted your commanding officer, you're ours for the day, got it?"

He noticed the emphasis on the last word and shuddered. "Yes, ma'am!"

"Good," Lt. Falkner turned her attention to the humans. "I know you're here for the USB, but we're low on soldiers, and a few suspicious figures have been spotted outside the walls. In the meantime, you're free to do as you please, we'll regroup in the museum when the sun sets, and I'll hand you the USB, but for now." She gave them a smile, "enjoy the city, alright? Est, Breeze, you'll take one group. Japhet, you'll take the other." She tipped her helmet at them then as soon as she arrived, she walked out the doors and into the city.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

The electricity was out all morning, but it's back :)! I'm going to get started on a post. Things should definitely be smoother from now on, though if I do have to miss a cycle, I'll give you guys a head up. Good mornight, I hope the weekend is treating everyone well.

In my next post, you guys will be breaking up into groups.

So, are we cool with paintball and hoverboard racing, or do any of you wanna suggest other activities?

And *drops music* This makes me think of Mr. Cuddles and Ms. Panda e.e, prolly cause of the bear.



Edit: Posted ^^! Guys, Kei-chan and Kathi-chan will guide you along but feel free to move stuff along okay? We really appreciate it :) remember don't just react and try pushing us forward too. Please and thank you.

Pirate Age

He couldn't tear his eyes away from the woman, not even when her body had been moved.

"Is she..." his hands clenched into fists. He understood that they were pirates and that they would kill to defend their ship and themselves, but to kill in a competition where it wasn't necessary? He suddenly jolted upright. What he wanted most at the moment was to sock Luro in the face and demand an explanation.

"Oi, siddown will ya?" A voice from behind him yelled.

Nolan didn't move, "is she dead?"

"How should I know, kid? It happens. Now sit, you're not exactly a shorty."

How was the crowd still cheering. Perhaps to them, it was just another day and just another casualty. He wondered if he was fit for the life of a pirate and for a moment thought about just heading back to Annie. If he went home, he wouldn't have to deal with this. He could run the tavern and just live a happy life with her...but then, if he left, he'd be a quitter. This was something he promised himself he would do and he wouldn't ask for Annie's hand until he managed to prove himself.

Not his parents or her, but to himself. "I'm sorry..." he muttered before excusing himself and moving through the aisle. He had to find the others, maybe the would understand what was going on. "Excuse me, pardon me, coming through."

Judging by the way the crowd was cheering, another fight had began, he didn't cheer and instead weaved his way through the sea of flailing limbs. Eventually, the man noticed someone who looked like Ray. He narrowed his eyes then saw him with Danny, and the captain was there too. He walked up beside them without saying a word, he looked pensive, upset even.

He narrowed his eyes at the fight that was going on below and frowned.

Pirate Age

Haha, the electricity was out all morning, so I ended up just sleeping/lurking around the net with my phone. It was boring, but defo relaxing xD and just caught up with the RP. Gosh, Danny is being adorable and as for the fight...

Mizos said “I’ll just grow them back,” Ryu spat back at him.

“What really you can do that? That’s actually pretty cool, huh well I was trying to threaten you but that won’t work. Uh what can kill you exactly so I do a better threat?”

“....uh…mating I suppose. My kind tends to die that way,” Ryu said clearly confused by the sudden question.

“Really that…wow I’m so sorry that sounds awful. Great way to go but…man…oh okay I got it then. I’m going to make you mate and watch you die.”

This...wow, this is just gold. Haha, for some reason, it made me think of a double pokemon battle when Luro screamed "Finish him off!"

I'm going to get started on a post now ^^ things should be more consistent from my end, but if I get buried in stuff again, I'll leave a heads up.

Edit: Posted ^^

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

*pops in* Hey, guys! I'm currently on my phone so forgive any typos. You can't head to the paintball field or hoverboard tournament yet, but feel free to run into Est and Breeze. On Sat, I'll have the Lt. meet them and drop some info. If you guys have any questions, I'll be able to pop up on the ooc. I just won't have the time to come up with a IC due to the torch stuff after school ;A; I hope you're all doing well!

Ran should join the hoverboard team and look after the troublemakers xD
