The Day The Earth Fell

Oh and Poor Shay :( I covered my mouth and gasped when I saw she got injured. I have a question tho, in this world? Can a person turn into a Dead from being scratched or bitten? Or do you just need to die for the change to occur? How do the Dead mechanics work in this world?

The Day The Earth Fell

I love how we get different perspectives on whats going on. Different point of views about the same event. Like everyone hearing Fen's howl. Almost everyone heard it, and we got to see that from everyones perspective and some reacted to it differently. This "book" is getting good. I mean...the man Fen found said "They sent them?". Who is they? LOL And who or what is Trojan Horse. And is that man really the scout from Cypher's group? Another connection to our group perhaps? EEEEKKKK! :)

The Day The Earth Fell

Sun was still waiting for Ramera to take the fortune, when he had heard the distinctive howl coming from the Red Waste. Fen. Something was wrong. There must of been more to this situation....more than even he had dreamt about. Moments later, Marcus used his ability to fling the gates open as a Solar Streaker came striking in through the gates like a baseball player sliding to base. Sun stood up hastily, and practically shoved the fortune into Ramera's hand. He looked back over the car and saw Tobias hopping out, along with the two children he had dreamt about and...Clo. Hah! Clo was there as well. Sun let out a sigh of relief and looked back to Ramera...smirking. "I can't say for sure, but it looks like this fortune was a good one", he said teasingly in reference to seeing Clo, albeit bruised. But alive....and that was all that mattered.

His attention was taken away from Ramera by Tobias' calling voice. Sun bowed to the metallic winged harpy and jogged over to Tobias. His lovely gaze fell upon the children as he became teary eyed. He was so relieved to see they were alright. Sure they didn't really know eachother, but he kinda knew them. At least through his dream. He was just relieved is all. He barely even looked at Tobias as the man gave him directions, as his attention was so invested onto the young boy and girl. Eyes watery like a bubble, he took a moment to look at Tobias and nodded. "I understand. Right away sir.", he said politely. "But...please be careful when you go back out there", he added. His still watery eyes then fell upon Clo, and he smiled to her warmly, shaking his head playfully as if thinking...Oh brother.

"Mother is going to have a fit with you once this is all over you know.", he chimed at her teasingly. "But...I'm just glad to see your alright", he added, his smile bright and resonating. With Tobias off speaking with the others on his plan to return back to the Red Waste, Sun redirected is gaze back upon the two kids, who at this point looked somewhat leery and frieghtened, their hands clasped as though nothing in the world could pull them apart. Sun stared for a bit at their clasped hands and pondered. It was such a simplistic beautiful display of the love they had for eachother. They literally just went through hell and yet....they never let go of eachother. It was heartwarming and tear jerking for sure. He carressed his dainty fingers underneath his bottom eyelids and looked to them affecitonately. His face was calm, his lips curled in a gentle smile, his eyes fluttered lightly as he looked back and forth between the two of them. "The Doctor is right you know...", he began in a calm and ethereal voice, almost...angelic tone. "You don't have to be afraid. I'm going to help you and get you to...", he stopped abruptly...cut off by the voice of an obviously annoyed Jacob.

When Sun looked up, he saw a young boy equipped with a satchel full of goodies that looked particularly familiar. Arent those...he began to think until his thought processes were once again disrupted by Jacobs now irritated vocals. "Oh dear...", Sun whispered to himself softly. He listened to Jacobs request and frowned lightly, but complied. Sun was only 16 and baby sitting two unknown freightened children was going to be enough as is, let alone a third one. A third one who seemed particularly boisterous for his age. But whatever he could do for everyone, he would. Sun nodded to Jacob and looked to the young boy with all the "lost and found" weapons.

He smiled warmly, like a big brother would and spoke calmly and softly..."Hey there. I'm Sun and....I see you wanna get into the action. But...you know...a good offense is a good defense. I mean...you see these two kids...", he said, pointing his hand briefly to the boy and girl who had just been rescused. "Well...they need our help and I was planning on taking them to the medical center, but...I was hoping you'd help me take care of them once we get there. I don't think I can do it by myself...", he said with a pouty look on his face, hoping it would convince the boy to come with him. Sun's eyes widened briefly as he had the perfect seller to win the boy over. "Hand me that rifle on your back and I'll even fly us there...", he added a bit awkwardly.

He took a moment to speak to Clo. He traced his eyes up and down her body. She looked pretty bruised herself. She probably couldn't fly due to her fatigue. Must explain why she wasn't able to simply fly the children here on her own. He looked to her with a worried countenance on his face..."Do you need a lift as well...or...would you like to speak to your sister? She's been worried sick about you..", he said to her, nodding his head in the direction of Ramera.

The Day The Earth Fell

Thank you mi amore :) I do what I can. Hahaha

The Day The Earth Fell

Oooooooooh it might be. This is so exciting. I didnt even put two and two together, but now that u mention it....

Btw, I can tell Michael is going to be so annoying. LOL OMG, he is going to cause so much trouble. haha

Anyways finna post now. I'm contemplating having Michael tag along with me and giving him "something" to do so he can stay out of everyones hair. Hahaha

The Day The Earth Fell

No problem guys. Hehe and YES!!! As much as i LOVE Clo! I wanna know whats going on in Cypher's neck of the woods. lol Looking forward to reading his juicy deets. lol

The Day The Earth Fell

OMG!!! Sun isn't the youngest anymore! BTW, I think its about that time for another character update and summary so we can stay in tune with eachother. Here it goes. Correct me if im mistaken about anything.

Ravenia- Trying to divert the attention of the horde of Dead. Possibly retreating due to the sheer overwhelming number of them. Bashing in decaying skulls with her staff and sucking(phasing?) them into oblivion via her shadows.
Marcus- Manning the GATE. Might have to use his metal manipulation offensively should Dead stragglers find their way to the PL(Paradise Land)
Anora- Along side Ravenia, trying to divert the Dead from the PL. Relieved to find her sister is bruised, but alive. Swashbuckling with her rapier and wings strong up to create gust of wind. (Using daggers now?)
Ramera- Distrated at the GATE by Sun. Worried about the safety of her sisters. Recieving a fortune. Might have to put her mighty metallic wings to use should Dead stragglers find their way to the PL.
Clo- Riding in the 1st solar car with Tobias and the two rescued children, heading back to the PL. Almost there?. Injured, but alive and kickin. The walking kill counter with a baseball bat.
Fen- Took off beside Shay in his wolf form to bring back Ravenia(Possibly Anora too?). Jumped straight into the action, demolishing dozens of Dead with his massive strength, claws, and teeth. Let out a distinct mighty howl after finding a semi-unconscious man laying next to a river.
Jacob- The walking nuclear bomb. provided weaponry for Shay. Staying behind to man the PL. Might have to put his radiation emission abilities to use should Dead stragglers find their way to the PL.
Tobias- Driving the 1st solar car after having quickly adapted to its odd mechanics after only a few seconds using it despite having never actually driven it. Driving back the two children and the bruised Clo back to the PL. Hopefully, no Dead followed him back.(Unlikely)
Sun- Ordered to stay behind by Shay. Providing a fortune via the Lovely Ghostwriter for Ramera. May have to put his pretty but deadly psionic sprites to use should Dead straggers find their way to the PL.
Shaylly- Driving in the 2nd solar car, with wolf form Fen beside her. Armed with weaponry provided by Jacob, she is attempting to pick up Ravenia. Perhaps Anora as well. Headstrong and fierce in battle.
Cypher- Still isolated from the main cast, but the first connection between his character and everyone else has been established. He too, has seen the larger herd of Dead heading in the direction the PL. Still torturing unknown female captive. Asshole. lol
Isam- Incredibly capable fighter who stayed behind to defend the GATE and the PL. May have to put his fighting skills to use should Dead stragglers find their way to the PL.
Michael- To be determined.

The Day The Earth Fell

Sun took a moment to study her face, which to him, looked a bit flustered. Unsettled even. She was seriously contemplating his proposition, uncertain as to whether she should take him up on his offer. He frowned slightly, but understood her feelings. She had every right to be leery about his fortune. Because as Sun knew it, his fortunes were unbiased, unconvoluted with ones own personal desires or aspirations or hopes. It was a the epitome of the perfect journalist, unbiased and unopinionated in their reports. Just telling it how it was...or rather...how it is to be. But even Sun somtimes doubted his own possible visions of the future. Thats just what they were....possibilities....always open to change and reformation. They would have to believe.....believe in the willpower and strength of the others. Like Tobias, but in a much lesser sense, we adapt to the world as it changes around us. We have to. No other choice really.

It seemed like a lifetime though that he was holding his peacock and journal to her. He understood that she needed a moment to think....but his fragile arms and wrist were beginning to ache as small jolt of pain his wrist made him squint. Unlike many of the other Blessed Ones, Sun was probably the weakest physically. If it wasn't for his Blessed ability, he probably wouldn't be able to defend himself or others. He admired their strength and hated his own incompetence. Nevertheless, he made certain that wasn't a burden.

Caught in the middle of tapping his right foot against the ground behind him, he found that finally....at last...Ramera had taken his pen and journal. He sighed in relief, shaking his tiny wrist in an attempt to wring out the pain. He watched her like a hawk as she began to write. He followed her gaze and her pen strokes, taking note of how sloppy it seemed. No coherence at all. Her pen movements were awkward and he could see frustration plastered on her face. When she finally handed back the journal to him, he chuckled slightly. It was like written dissonance, but readable...and that was all that mattered. He bowed to her deeply as he pulled the pen and notebook close to his chest as if he were wrapping his arms around a teddy bear. He raised his head up and let out a low "Thanks".

Taking a moment to look around, he smirked. Sun strolled up and around Ramera's frame and planted his back up against the cold metal of the Paradise Lands walls...allowing his body to slowly slink down until he came into a crouching position, balancing his torso on his ankles and legs.

Pen in the left. Journal in the right. Deep Sigh.

He looked to Ramera, his usually playful eyes, all of a sudden serious and steadied..."Here it goes...", he whispered. Deep Sigh.

In seconds, his face went....numb. His pupils began to dilate, as any emotion that seemed to reign across his face ceased to exsist. His pupils became glossy, doll like, as an eerie ring of a violet hue began emanating around it. It was as though he was in a trance, unaware of what he was doing. A soulless, uninhabited body it "seemed". His left hand that held the pen, raised up slightly, as something amazing began to materialize. It was in fact...."The Lovely Ghostwriter". Those who were human could not see the entity, but for harpies and blessed ones, its small frame began to slowly appear above Sun's left wrist. It was a small, ethereal like semi-transparent creature with a body that looked like it was made of gas. It was the head of a baby, its eyes closed as if it were sleeping and its mouth wide open, revealing two rows of fully grown sharp teeth. Small, dainty, and seemingly underdeveloped angel wings fluttered on either side of the top of its head, as two baby arms and hands protruded from either side of the head, as if attached to some kind of underdeveloped shoulders. Its small hands were gripped around Sun's much larger (in comparison) left hand, taking its time to get the best hand placement for itself.

When it liked where it was, it began to manipulate Sun's hand, causing him to write relentlessly against the page that Ramera wrote down her stats on. His writing was immaculate, better than calligraphy, crafted by the hands of the Gods. His eyes were glazed upon the paper as he seemingly lifeless hand continued to stroke in on the lines, not missing a beat. It was as if everything in the world seemed to fade around him. But It had only been 30 seconds and the entity disappeared from over his hand. His face got back its feel, his eyes went back to normal, and Sun looked up to Ramera, quickly ripping out the paper and holding it up for her to grasp, making sure not to accidentally read it himself.

"Please read it...but not aloud. Just...give me a thumbs up or down...", he said softly. What he had written, since Sun doesn't actually know what he has written, just the format of it, was a fortune in the form of a poem...a poem with four quatrains of four lines each. Each verse represented a week of the current month and the events in the poem are presented as metaphors. So whether Ramera was able to understand the meaning of the poetic fortune,...well...only she herself could decipher. Only the person who the fortune is written for...and Sun of course(despite his refusal to read the fortunes), are the only people who can read it.

The Day The Earth Fell

BTW Metronome, i think someone else pointed out, but where the fuck did that forest come from in ur post? Like magical trees just sprouted nearby. Hahahaha I mean...i guess i cant say for sure, but I REALLY dont think there are any forest or plants in the Red Waste. Its probably barren and desert like.

The Day The Earth Fell

See...and this is why im gonna start making little summaries so peoples dont fucks up with confusing characters and where they are. LOL
