Elementals: Void Reign (OPEN)

A couple more people arrived and Sunny's suspicions were on point. They were all called here by the Mother Nature. She sighed, gazing at everyone's faces. They were young and Sunny wouldn't be surprised if she turned out to be on of the oldest. Heavens, what in the world possessed her to come to this place? "Silly SunnyD, you wanted to beat up some Vygoms. Remember?" Yeah. She did.

Then some masked guy killed someone, presumably another elemental, and was then promptly driven off by Phil. Fuck. She was so going to get something strong to drink after this. She just saw someone get murdered in front of her and now the corpse turned into sparkles. Apparently, the guy who drove off Mr. Mask was the successor to Mother Nature and was entirely too...chill about what had just occurred moments before. Before she could start angrily asking questions at this 'Phil' guy, one of the other elementals beat her to it. So Sunny just stayed in the back, her arms crossed together as she waited for some answers.

When Ellis mentioned his tough childhood, Nellie’s own memories started resurfacing. From a young age, Nellie knew why the others isolated her. She had long since accepted the fact that she would never be able to fit in. However, she didn’t mind too much – it wasn’t as if they were bullying her outright. Still, it would have been nice if one of her classmates had attempted to talk to her. Nellie quirked her eyebrow in thought. Maybe she should have tried a little harder to socialize. Ah, oh well.

She chuckled over Ellis’ remark about people dumping a bunch of stuff in their coffee. Nellie preferred to drink chamomile tea because it soothed and calmed her mind. Floral teas were her thing. Coffee was, in her opinion, way too strong and quite frankly, disgusting. The caffeine would keep you awake and functional for a day and after that, the body would be sucked into a never-ending spiral of unhealthy sleeping habits. Coffee is evil. "I don’t even know how you people can stand coffee,” she remarked, smiling. “It leaves such a strong after-taste.”

“You’ll have to teach us Assaults how to handle the controller. Oh, and…what’s an Xbo-“ She stopped talking when Ellis’s face twisted in pain after taking a drink of his hot coffee. When his face turned red and his hand covering his mouth, Nellie was in full-blown distress mode. Her hands started frantically moving up and down, unsure of what to do. Wait. Burns. Cold water. Ice? Ice. “El-Ellis! Your tongue, is it okay? Do you need some ice? Does this place even have ice? Where’s the ice?” Although she was flipping out, Nellie managed to somewhat keep her voice in a cool collected voice. The only thing betraying her emotions was her facial expression and a few high pitched words.

Nellie was no doctor like Victor, but she was pretty sure ice would do the trick. She went behind the counter, turning around multiple times as confusion and worry crossed her face. She had no idea where the ice could be.

Hello..

@RoflsMazoy

That was a good read. :^)

Her lips pulled up into a bright smile when Ellis said he would tone down his smoking. It was a start. While his response before that was morbid, it was true. Arkhan was a filthy city with crime and corruption festering in every corner. That was why Cerberus formed a team of highly skilled individuals - they were supposed to cleanse Arkhan. Ellis then began to explain what Left 4 Dead 2 was with Nellie hanging on to every word.

When he finished talking, Nellie could almost touch the nervousness that the man was giving off. In some odd way, Nellie was relieved. She had trouble socializing as well so it was good that they were practicing now. "Not at all, I think that the game's concept is interesting. Perhaps I'll play it once we finish our first mission," she said. "Ah." She glanced down at the ground in thought as she tried to come up with a couple of phrases that described the others. Nothing came in mind - Nellie didn't know them that well. "Can't really say much. All I know is that they're skilled...I'm sure they're all good people though," she optimistically added.

A light chuckle escaped her lips as she looked at him. "I guess we better start breaking the 'stranger' relationship stage, right? Hmm, something about me? Well, uh, I enjoy baking?" She suddenly sighed, bringing up a hand to her forehead. "Goodness, I'm terrible at this. Uhm... I don't really have any hobbies besides shooting and baking. I've spent most of my life training," she said with a slight frown. Maybe she should have went out more. How about you?"

The following introductions from Victor, Nadia, Deuce, and Aimee pleased her. All different people with their own unique qualities and personalities. It was also nice to see that everyone was being polite at some degree. Nellie only hoped that the peace would last until they finished their critical first mission. Mistrust and miscommunication could destroy the team. Since everyone was done introducing themselves, Nellie leaned back on her chair, her eyes closing as she half-listened to Robin’s and Suzumi’s conversation.

She heard Robin formulating a plan where all of them would pair up and surround the enemy. It was a good one, and since Nellie had no objections, she kept her mouth shut. However, that cool silence she was trying to maintain almost shattered when Robin called Suzumi his fair lady. He was certainly a charming man. Then a few knocks were heard and Robin got up to answer the door.

Nellie looked over to observe the newcomer, noting his rather slobby appearance and the cigarette in his hand. Her lips trembled into a frown. Smoking was not healthy. Anyways, his name was Ellis Williams and honestly, his introduction confused Nellie. What in the world was Left 4 Dead 2? It wasn’t good being left behind by your comrades… Huh. She was almost embarrassed to ask what he meant. Other then that, Ellis seemed just as skilled as the others were.

She never had the privilege of doing ‘normal things’. What little free-time she had was spent training, studying, or cleaning her weapon. The assault program was brutal. Sniper school was also brutal, if not worse. There were many students who dropped out or died because they failed to complete their target missions in time. Nellie thought about the many ‘practice’ runs she had to go through. There was one time were they were left stranded with just ammo and their sniper rifle. If she recalled correctly, two people were killed. Yet she survived, all of those practice missions shaping Nellie into what she is today.

Well it was time for her to get to know people. Actually, it was time for her to lecture a certain someone about the dangers of smoking. The tall woman got up from her chair and made her way towards the rugged guy who was now drinking coffee. She stopped just mere inches away from him, her eyebrows furrowed together in thought.

"Smoking will surely kill you," she quietly murmured before snapping out of her lecture-mode. Bad Nellie. You have to get to know this person first before trying to stop their bad habits. She quickly changed the subject, color rising to her cheeks as she wrapped her arms around herself. She took a step back, averting her gaze. "Uhm, so what's this Left 4 Dead 2? Is that some sort of American mythology?"

Elementals: Void Reign (OPEN)

SunnyD was battering her fairly new punching bag that was firmly secured to the ceiling with a new chain. Ever since she stumbled back home with money – life was fairly good. She was bringing in enough money to pay for rent, afford a few sweets to give to the kids, and new equipment. SunnyD, however, was building up some notoriety in the underground boxing tournaments. She heavily sighed in frustration. Why couldn’t life be simple?

She lunged for the bag once more before her vision blurred into black…

”You possess a power like no other…means to stop them…” Kyra’s sweet words faded away as the word ‘lightning’ was repeated before she regained her vision. She wiped the sweat off her forehead before staring at the floor, dumbfounded.

Okay.

She knew she was able to…shock people to the point where they fainted. Fuck. Oh fuck. Fight the fucking Vygoms? Her body started to tremble, but not in fear. SunnyD was excited. Little sparks of blue bounced off of her body before completely stopping as she contained the overwhelming feelings. For years

It was about time that someone tried to stop the Vygoms.

-------

In a few minutes, Sunny was already heading out to Club9. It was around six blocks away, not too far, so she decided to walk instead. She had showered and pulled on some decent-looking clothes; a tank-top, jeans, and a light jacket. Ah shit. It was cold. She sneezed once and rubbed her nose, almost tempted to head back home. After all, that ‘vision’ was weird. Maybe her ‘powers’ were messing with her mind. However she kept on holding to that foolish hope of usurping the Vygoms… Maybe, just maybe.

By the time Sunny reached Cloud 9, she was a shivering mess. God, she would have to buy a new jacket as hers was thread-bare. She went downstairs, coming face to face with another young woman. Instinctively, Sunny stepped a few paces back and warily eyed the girl.

"Hey, why're you here?" She asked, almost curious. Cloud 9 had closed years ago... Could the girl have had the same dream as well?
