The Midnight Train to Nowhere

I'll be getting a post up later today after my classes are done. I'll see what Inadi can do with this turtle dragon.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Inadi walked side by side with the other humans with nothing but a scowl on his face. A very small portion of him was agitated about the whole losing the paintball match. Inadi truly felt that Lesley had cheated a little bit towards the end of the match, using Jasper as bait to lure him out. He tried to go out and get Jasper out of danger when he saw the others begin to surround her, and ended up getting shot from every single angle imaginable after that and quickly saw his bar just disappear into nothing. It seemed like Lesley was still planning out his little victory request, but that was the least of Inadi's concerns.

The hooded figures. Now they showed their stupid intentions with drawing them out to this dark side of Nowhere and it was clear this was not a place for the light hearted. From what he was told by the others it was a very dangerous place and it was not a place that you get invited to without some dark intentions being the purpose. And Inadi had a feeling that whatever the hooded figures were planning it had something to do with the list. They already stole two pieces they needed, no doubt they were looking for the rest. When Harper asked him that question, he turned to him and nodded in response. "No doubt about it. But again, the question shouldn't be 'will they steal our list'. It should be 'why do they want it anyway'?" He told Harper as he began walking out ahead of the group, scouring for signs of the Hooded Figures.

Once the ship landed after an engine problem, Inadi gripped his spear and walked ahead of the group. His breath was quiet, his brows furrowed. He knew deep down this was a meeting where heads were going to roll. Ace's story didn't tell him that. The history of this place didn't tell him that. Just the feeling in the air gave him the idea that this was going to be one hell of a fight. He looked back at the others and gave a quick jerk of his head to tell everyone to stay with him.

Then the soldiers got involved saying they needed to be watched. As one got closer to him he quickly stared him down until he got the message. Inadi wanted nothing to do with these extra soldiers getting in the way of his fight. He wanted these guys and he wanted them bad. Especially when he thought about how they said they would serve the bear's treats at the event. It was clear now that Mr. Cuddles had something to do with these people and it wasn't just a misunderstanding.

Looking back at Lesley, the person he found that newspaper clipping with all the way back at the Midnight Man's house, he gave him a quick shout to get his attention. “Hey Lesley! Do you think the bear is going to be there? They said they would have his sweets on the menu anyway,” He asked as he continued walking forwards in the strange area. If Mr. Cuddles turned out to be waiting for them at the spot Inadi wasn't sure he would be able to keep himself from taking the bear out too. Perhaps he was telling them where they were going each time and that was how they got the jump on them back with the witch. “I'm starting to wonder about that walking rug's allegiance anyway.” He said finally with a scoff at the end of the phrase as he gripped Kain tighter.

After a little bit more walking, Inadi began growing frustrated. The whole area seemed like a paradise for the lost. He couldn't tell where he was going and where they needed to be in the first place. Quickly going back to where the map was supposed to be, he peered over the shoulder of Japhet as he tried to make it out. It was crude and it was clear that if they were making head way it was impossible to tell. Slamming the dull end of his spear to the ground Inadi walked off frustrated towards Jasper, hoping her presence would calm his nerves. “This whole place is just waiting for us to get ambushed and I have no clue if we are making progress walking,” He told her with a angry sigh while he rubbed his eyes to try and relieve some of the tightness he began feeling in the back of his head. Looking over at Harper and Riley he shrugged towards them. “I honestly have no idea what in the world we should be looking for on this stupid hike.” He growled out with an annoyed tone. Looking around he still had no clue where they were in relation to the map. At this point he would welcome an ambush. At least then he would know they were close.

*What I wish I could do to the stupid little discussion boards I have to post in for class*



Stupid bloody discussion boards. I totally forgot I had to do like 12 of them today. Sorry for not getting that post up when I said Fox. I'm going to get one out tonight after work and do what I can to push the story. And I like Aki's suggestions. Any other ones? Don't be shy. Haha!

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

I'm gonna put up a post tomorrow morning bright and early. Inadi will not be pleased about the reintroduction of the hooded figures, that much I can promise. Also, are we going under the assumption that Inadi lost the bet, because I'm down with that. XD

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

I love that in Fox's new signature you put a little panda hood on the character. We all remember her adoration of that one panda anime from a few months back. Great touch! XD

Edit: HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOX!

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

I am also enjoying this little back and forth between Les and Inadi. Healthy rivalries are always a welcome sight. And I wish I could say I did Fox. It's hard to enjoy hockey games anymore when you work the things every night. Haha!

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Inadi continued shooting towards where the shots were coming from and was doing his best to try and figure out where the opponents were located. Yet his blind offensive didn't stop him from being shot a couple of times in the arm, dropping his health down ten percent. After that Jasper took a shot right on the head and that made him feel even worse than the previous shot he watched her take. Inadi desperately wanted to get a hold of the opposing team and just end the contest right then and there, but with how little vision he had in the swamp it was unlikely he was going to get good shots on whoever it was that was shooting at them, and it was suicide for him to just charge ahead like a fool.

A little later on Inadi heard some small footsteps heading over to them. The nerves in his hands began quivering as he knew what it was. They were trying to force them out of their cover. And once they did, whoever this group was would probably put them all down. Judging from the sloshing sounds it seemed like it was three people in all. At that point Inadi deduced it was the rest of their group playing the game. Yet another sound wiped away his concerns and made brand new ones as a giant shaking crash caught his attention. Apparently it also got Harper's attention as he began suggesting a quick get away.

He turned around to see a giant robot with artillery to match. It was clear that this thing was gonna cause some kind of problem for all of them. Just as he was about to start firing on the robot, Jasper grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the log. Quickly regaining his balance Inadi kept up the pace with Jasper and some of the others as he tried to blindly fire behind him at the robot, hearing a few plops here and there from the paint. The robot returned fire and luckily just hit a tree, but the tree sadly turned into a stump afterward. This made a little bit more adrenaline find its way to Inadi's legs as he began blazing through the path in front of them.

Soon after the robot was chasing after Aiden it seemed and it was at this point Inadi finally caught his breath. This whole little game had turned into some kind of nightmare. Who would have thought this was just a fun past time when on the outside looking in. Definitely not him. As Jasper and Harper began talking truce, Inadi started firing away at the robot even before the pinky swear was made. Inadi took a couple quick shots back in response but he was able to only lose about another 15% to his overall health. He still had three quarters left in the tank, and he figured that was more than enough to win this out.

Aiden then began chuckling at the sight of another enemy team in the forest. Pink by the looks of it. Inadi watched as Aiden and Lizbeth both took care of their targets and Jasper finished off hers. She was a lot lower in the health bar situation than he was, and when another pink member showed up he quickly took aim and barraged the last player with a spray of paint. Two shots in the chest, a couple in the legs and more than a few in the head. A quick elimination, though looking down at his own chest Inadi saw two pink shots splatter on his gear. Looking at his health bar he saw it was now 65% as a whole. Shaking his head in disappointment he looked over to Jasper with a chuckle. “Somehow I get the feeling that we won't be doing these kinds of things professionally.” He joked with her as he returned his attention to the others while reloading his gun.

Again, they made the temporary truce to take out the robot and with the sudden shooting between Est and Aiden it was clear the truce had lived out the purpose it needed to. Giving a quick nod to Jasper, he picked up the sight of his weapon and began raining paint back on Lesley, Harper and Leila. The quick screeches from them made him almost feel bad about the sudden about face, but oh well. Somebody had to win and it certainly wasn't going to be Lesley if Inadi had anything to say about it. As an added joke, Inadi landed a shot on Lesley's head and began running for cover. “Hope you like my new color suggestion for your hair Les! I think it fits you better than that pink get up anyway!” He laughed as he quickly found a large boulder to hide behind. Inadi began scouring the field to find a trace of Jasper, and while he did so he noticed he was already down to 45% on his health. He was shocked that he lost another 20%, but he figured that with him running and looking for cover it gave somebody a great opportunity to get some shots on him. He just hoped that the others were about as worse off as he was after the rain of paint he brought down on them.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

I'm gonna get a post up later tonight or early tomorrow morning. Hopefully I don't lose too much energy working the hockey game tonight.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Oh I wish for was for a class fox. Truth is I need to wake up this early nowadays just to get my whole day sorted and taken care of. Way too much going on to be honest.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

I'm still here. Still hating waking up at like 7 or 6 in the morning to be honest but I'm still kicking it. Haha!
