The Midnight Train to Nowhere

I haven't seen the videos yet, but I'll check them out tomorrow ^^

Oh, Four, that's an American remake of the Korean film, and the Korean film was based off a manga. I heard from my teacher that the 2003 version is a lot better than the new one so if you ever want some bloody fun, I recommend the 2003 version.

I got a post up for the paintball group. Thanks for the lovely setups you guys, and I decided to play off of what you gave me. Loved the robots Four, feel free to do with them whatever you like, and feel free to use the other teams in the arena if you want some chaos :)

@ Kimchi, MUG, Kei-chan, Kathi-chan: Guys, you are absolutely free to do anything you like :D. I had the robots by the red team fire some flares, that way if you want to find them you're free to do so, but if you'd rather have some shenanigans with robots and enemy teams that's good too. I didn't throw anything at you, that way you guys have the option of doing what you like :) but I'll be sending a NPC your way during my next post. What that NPC will be like depends on what route you guys take.

Eventually we'll be bringing both groups together, group two is kind of behind, so I ask that the members try not to miss posts ^^

Hoverboard group, if we finish ahead of group two then we'll head to an ice cream shop or something to chillax.

Edit:

OMG, RYVER. CELERY CHEESECAKE. THAT POST. Loved the NPCs and the craziness, oh gosh, that was a game changer.

I was planning to post for both groups today but it's getting late >-< so I'll be posting for group one tomorrow night instead. Hopefully this gives Thunder some extra time to post :) Thunder, if you're having trouble, remember, you don't have to react to the past events. They won't add anything to the stuff going on now ^^ so feel free to just jump in. You can have Toby make a pit stop or have him zoom in and join the others.

G'night, you wonderful people. I hope you all have a grand mornight <3

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

The Paintball Arena:

"Enemies?" Harper took a step back then pointed his gun in the direction Leila had been facing. He was still stunned by how amazing the dome and the technology were, and it took him a while to notice the rustling of the leaves nearby. A twig was crushed beneath the sole of a metal boot and he finally noticed them—robots built like rocks with guns far larger than any of theirs.





Lizbeth raised a hand in front of them, her other hand reaching for the smoke grenade that was clipped to her belt.

"Yeppers," Aiden was speaking quietly, but there was no mistaking the cheer in his voice. "The enemy team isn't the only thing you have to look out for. Oh, and we aren't the only players around either." He held onto a device that looked like a radio, on its screen were several blinking dots of various colors. "It looks like we have an orange team and a pink team on the field too...oh and lookie here, blue team is somewhere near the ruins."

The robots were looking right and left, communicating with each other in incomprehensible sounds.

It didn't faze Aiden and he continued talking in a cheery but hushed voice. "The other teams have this tracker too so we'll need to keep moving before any of them move in on our location—oops they've spotted us." He let out a hearty laugh and pulled out pointed his pistol at the closest robot. With a flick of his thumb he turned the safety off and fired, nailing the robot right between its eyes. Red paint dripped off its head and onto it's chest and the soldier snickered.

"Target ahead," a metallic voice rumbled. "Sending coordinates to team Foxtrot..." Aiden got the robot in the chest and it staggered back.

Lizbeth's lips curled into a frown and she turned to look at Lesley and Leila. "They sent out coordinates, we better go."

"BUT LIZZIE," her partner pouted, "things are just about to get fun."

"We aren't with the rest of the platoon, these are newbies." She pulled off the smoke grenade's pin and rolled it towards the robots. Soon, the place they were in was enveloped in a blanket of odorless smoke. It wasn't hard to breath in, but their vision was obscured. As soon as the smoke filled the area the robots began to open fire and one of them managed to hit Lizbeth in the shoulder. Her health bar went down to 95 percent and she muttered something about them leaving.

Harper fell onto the grass, a bright yellow splatter visible on his chest. He was a little dazed, but it didn't hurt. Bright lights flashed across his visor: Warning you are down to 80 percent, that was what the flashing words had said. "It doesn't hurt," Harper picked himself up and gave his friends a smile. "Were any of you sho—oh boy," he staggered back a little, fumbling with his fallen rifle.

"Back up has arrived!" Another robotic voice screeched. "Team Charlie we have reached your coordinates."

Through the waning smoke they could make out the outlines of the heavily armored robots. The sound of bolts and rusty kneecaps grew louder and one of the robots (now crimson all over) appeared before the group. "Aha! Humans spotted. Humans spotted!" He fired a flare up into the sky then aimed his machine gun at the stunned humans and guides.

Harper scrambled back, accidentally pulling the trigger. He yelped when a loud popping sound echoed across the forest. The robot before him had a bright blue stain over his face and he looked a little daze from the unexpected shot. They actually had an opening.

"Good going, we're not running now! C'mon humans, show us you've got spunk." Aiden fired two rounds at the second robot's hand and managed to disarm it, but by then the first had recovered and he lurched forward, a bright red stain on his shoulder. He could make out the outlines of two approaching robots, he fired a shot at the first one's head. "There are four of them, aim for the one with the least amount of...FOR CELERY'S SAKE!" He took a shot to the gut, his health bar dropping down to 85 percent.

Three shots rang out and the first robot fell to the ground with a clatter, it's health bar empty.

Aiden gaped. Lizebeth had shot it thrice in the head, and he made a mental note to avoid pissing his partner off. "Aim for the one with the lowest health," she finished Aiden's sentence and helped him to his feet.

The remaining robots were firing even more flares into the sky, and they erupted into an assortment of bright lights, alerting not only nearby robots but other teams near the vicinity as well. If they didn't roll out soon, it would be one hell of a brawl.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Yep :D anything goes. Haha, the hoverboard people are turning the race into Mario Kart, so you guys are free to do whatever as well~

Fine, Kraken, but blame Anon. He called it a death list xD

Anddddd, I'm curious, and need movies to watch what's the last movie you people remember watching?

I had to watch Oldboy for my Crit Lit class since it's pretty similar to Oedipus Rex in terms of plotting and tragic heroes. It's not for the squeamish, but it's interesting, so if you guys are into revenge films with gore and kung-fu, I'd recommend this.

Oh, and the villain was bloody brilliant. Emphasis on bloody

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Except the part where Breeze lives longest 8D //shot

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Good luck with all that work, Thunder v.v! Don't stress yourself out and go get some ice cream.

Loving what both groups have done, you've all given me some ideas, hehehe. I'll be posting around 10-ish tonight, that way Four and Ryver have some time to get their posts up. Ryver had some pretty cool plans for the hoverboard team~

8D Hehe, the truth behind Nowhere. *Is really excited for this chappy, but it's still so far away xD*

LOL, that randomizer is pretty good xD and as for the paintball game. I think we don't need to randomize stuff, we can just go by logic and see where it takes us. We can throw in a bunch of different elements too, so who knows, maybe by the end they'll band together against a paint panzer or a giant paint spewing robot :D? You guys are free to throw in random stuff, level the playing field, or put yourselves at a disadvantage.

Turrets, power ups, hoverboards, anything goes as long as it doesn't fall into God-modding territory, but heh, I trust no one's headed there.

You're all too awesome :P *shot*

Pirate Age

Ooops, double post, blame the guild xD

Oh, oh, I have a challenge. What's the last movie you people remember watching?

I had to watch Oldboy for my Crit Lit class since it's pretty similar to Oedipus Rex in terms of plotting and tragic heroes. It's not for the squeamish, but it's interesting, so if you guys are into revenge films with gore and kung-fu, I'd recommend this.

Pirate Age

New pirate + Steampunk = <3

Looking forward to new steam themed shenanigans.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Nice posts everyone, good job <3

KIMCHI, loving the setup and the sci-fi feels! There is absolutely no need to apologize xD

No worries, Four, and there's no real reason behind it. Nowhere is made up of people's dreams, nightmares, and the stuff they imagine so a lot of things in Nowhere don't make sense. If someone thinks of a catbus, then the catbus appears xD

Though Sol and Aven were at war because of the dragon attacks. The rest of Nowhere is relatively peaceful 8D but speaking of war...

MUAHAHAHA *cough* Evil laughter aside, I think I mentioned something about it on the skype chat once or twice.

Come chapter eight or nine, you guys will know the truth

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Pshhh, of course not xD and good luck with work, Aki!

How is everyone doing on this fine Sunday~? Just a reminder, I'll be moving you all along tomorrow night, so post before then.

Alssooo, the thing that started it all xD

Pirate Age

A weird looking pistol and colored ink. This place really did have everything and for a moment, he thought about buying more souvenirs.

"Now, the maps will look a lot more eye-catching." He chuckled then turned to look at Alicia. He had to agree with Ray, Nolan hadn't focused much on the fight, but the parts of it he had seen were definitely something. This swordswoman, she moved with finesse yet struck hard and quick, almost like lightning. "It was a very impressive fight indeed, your mastery of the blade is really something special." He flashed her a grin but when Luro began mumbling about Lily the smile on the cook's face faded and he quieted down, unsure of what to say next.

Still, he didn't want to dampen the mood so he looked to the side and watched an old man play a flute.

The woman that had danced with Ray was back as well and this time with bright flames around her clothes. He flinched when he first noticed the fire but the worry ebbed away when he noticed that she wasn't flailing--she was dancing beautifully.

"Yeah, this place has everything." He ignored Luro for the most part but gave the rest of his crewmates a smile. Nolan had never seen anything like this back in his hometown, so it was definitely a site to behold.

Eventually, they returned to the ship and as they boarded fireworks erupted in the night sky. "Wow, would you look at that." He dipped his head back and squinted his eyes, both hands pressed onto the ship's railing. "It's absolutely breathtaking." He couldn't tear his eyes away and he wished they would stay until the end of the fireworks show. It would have been a shame if they missed it.
