"Mr. Lewison. You don't know me, but you know my employer, and I have a message for you." The man smiled nastily into a camera. "You've been doing things my employer doesn't like. I'm to tell you to cut it out, or the consequences will be the worse for you." He walked with the camera, down the dungeon hall, towards a certain door. "Now, my employer is reasonable. How will you stop doing what my employer doesn't want if you don't know what it is? Simple. Instructions will be mailed to you from D. Johnson; I'm sure I don't have to tell you this is a fake name. Follow the instructions to the letter, and nobody gets hurt. However, if you disobey, or if you go to the police..."

The man pushed open a door and walked inside, moving in a slow circle around the chair holding the room's sole occupant. "Your daughter will pay the price for your insubordination. Be careful, Mr. Lewison. My employer is not the most forgiving of people." Aiming the camera at Serafina's face, the man ended the video and laughed.

"Don't worry, Miss Lewison. I'm sure daddy dearest will do anything to keep you safe." He left the room with a mocking laugh, locking the door behind him and leaving Serafina to her thoughts.

"Mr. Lewison, a package has arrived for you." The polite voice buzzed over the intercom to William Lewison's office in northern Chicago.

"Send it up, Miss Fisher." William replied, busying himself with paperwork while he waited for the package to arrive. When it came, he opened the small box to reveal a nondescript tablet and a white envelope. On the front of the envelope, in printed letters, were the words TURN ON THE TABLET. Curious, he did so.

The tablet was completely clean of apps save for one; video player. William opened the app and watched the one video present. By the end of it, he was shaking with fear and anger. His Serafina, his little girl, had been kidnapped again, and there was nothing he could do to help her.

With shaking hands, he opened the envelope to reveal the first set of demands, along with what punishment would be administered to his daughter if he refused any of them. He had no choice. With a heavy heart, he prepared to carry out his instructions.

Post is up, hope it's okay.

The Superhuman Crusade & Alliance Revolution (S.C.A.R.)

Li Min

Min grabbed the watch out of the air with unfailing accuracy, quickly putting it on. "Li Min, former US Navy SEAL." She reported crisply. "Code name Electora." Running an assessing eye over the scene one more time, she let one corner of her mouth quirk up in a half-smile. Against the expectations of most, she had missed this; had missed using her army training in a real fight. There was no reason to hold back when fighting a simulation.

There was no need to wait. Walking toward the line of policemen, Min let a predatory smirk creep onto her face. It's show time.

Rushing the nearest one, Min took him down with a knee to the groin and a fist to the face, stealing his gun and using his unconscious body as a shield. She shot at the policemen until she ran out of bullets, then flung bolts of energy towards the rest. Ditching her human shield, she created an energy shield, using the protection it gave to get up close and personal with whoever was left standing.

It was over quickly. Min stood victorious over the unconscious and dead bodies of simulated policemen, a grin on her face. That had been fun.

Farran watched Min take down the policemen with an expression of awe. The very fact that they had a former Navy SEAL in their midst was enough to earn the woman his respect; her skill with hand-to-hand and her mastery of her power caused him to feel slightly jealous. However, now was not the time to dwell on that. He turned to Washerton and shook his head. "I'm not doing this. No way, no how. Trust me, it's a bad idea."

New people coming. Great. Jack groaned and put in his earbuds, planning to stay out of sight until everything calmed down. With this aim in mind, he was currently sitting in the top branches of an oak, listening to Blackmore's Night. Not what people expected of him, but he liked it anyway. "I've been here for a million years, through the joy, through the tears, but when I am gone this will go on, and the circle starts again." He sang along quietly, eyes closed and ignoring the world.

@SomeoneSomewere

"Well said." Danielle said, a satisfied smile touching her lips briefly. She had been right about this one. "Perhaps you'd like to do something about our situation?" Casting a quick glance at him, she allowed him to see the honesty in her eyes. Her plans would fail if he thought her lying or attempting to trick him.

We Are The Demi

12:00, mess hall

As she always did during lunch, Danielle sized up the demis around her, seeking out those who might be discontent enough to want to revolt. It was a major goal of hers, to get out of the hellhole the humans called a training facility. One demi-snake was not enough to take on a whole compound of humans, however, and so she sought allies. Already, she had three snakes, a bird, two canines, and a feline as allies. Today, her targets were a newly-arrived vulpine and another feline. The vulpine, she would tackle later. The feline, however, she had kept an eye on for quite a while. Now would be her time to speak to her first target.

Picking up her tray, Danielle left the line of demis waiting for sustenance and slithered over to rest next to her target. "I can't help but notice that you don't appreciate the efforts of our not-so-benevolent overlords." She spoke quietly, words coming out with a slight hiss. "Could it be that you don't wish to be their obedient little soldier?" Keeping her eyes on her food, Danielle waited for a response. Hopefully her target would be amenable to her suggestions.

We Are The Demi

One last attempt to salvage this RP. I'm going to post a timeskip to lunch, where we can hopefully get some plot moving, if anyone's still here.

Should I do another post about Serafina's situation? It would most likely be a demand delivered to her father and his reaction.

The Superhuman Crusade & Alliance Revolution (S.C.A.R.)

@Zelosse Likely something to do with the fact that I've been gone for a while? Christmas visit to the Land of No Internet, and too much stuff to do before departure that I didn't have time to notify people. (I'm very sorry about that, by the way.)

The Superhuman Crusade & Alliance Revolution (S.C.A.R.)

@Zelosse Well, of course~ What I mean is, would she actually be able to handle them? This is a simulation, after all.

Might as well tell you, I asked my militarily-minded brother about what branch of the Army Min would likely have been a part of, considering her skill set and bio, and he said Navy SEALs. So, yeah. You have a former SEAL among you, if that's okay with the GM, of course.
