The Sanctuary

Nic: Wut?

 

OOC:// Fayt, you're in :B. You might want to fix the link, though.

Also, if no one objects, I'd like to skip ahead a few hours in the RP to keep the plot going :3

 

ooc: go ahead.

 

OOC: I changed the picture.

 

OOC:// Of course you would choose that picture :B|:

 

OOC: Already used? I'll change it again, bloody search engines.

 

OOC:// No, no, I was joking around. xD The pic is fine.

 

OOC: ...okay. I'll start IC after I catch up reading the past pages.

 

OOC:// YAY TIME LAPSE

IC:// The sun had risen before she woke up, and judging by it's position in the sky, it was about 9:00. Maybe ten, actually. But waking up late wasn't the strangest part of Elevir's stay in the town so far. There were other gifts in the town. And everyone kind of treated her strangely. They weren't mean; actually the weird part about it was that they seemed too nice.

Then again, what would she know about that, anyway.

The other Gifts had told her that it was fine to keep her wings visible here, so she did. It felt more natural than keeping them hidden, even if hers were different from the others' wings.

She stepped through the town in a passively cautious fashion, and the thoughts she heard were generally the same.
'Oh, who's the new girl?'
'She must be new here...'
'When did she get here?'
As opposed to the usual, 'Who's the freakshow?' kinds of thoughts she would here in other places, even with her wings and ears hidden. It's like the other people -- the ones without gifts, they just knew somehow.

She stopped her pace when she heard a familiar voice pass through her mind. It was the same voice she remembered vividly from the dream she'd had earlier. It belonged to Eva, and it was coming from the restaurant a few paces up ahead... but she could hear a second person's thoughts from the same building.... The Orphanage's former Director.

She stepped into the narrow alley next to the building, overwhelmed by the entire situation around her. She needed somewhere to think for herself for a moment and clear everyone else's thoughts from her mind, and although she could always go back to the house she was staying in temporarily, she'd probably just walk all the way back eventually anyway.

 

OOC: I hope Legion will be okay with where I am next...>>"

BIC: Eva slid down deeper into the tub, letting the water level rise to just below her nose. She closed her eyes, letting the warmth envelope her. It helped the ache in her bones. Downstairs she could hear Victor, or she hoped it was Victor, moving around. She should go to help him..but she just wanted to stay here a little bit more. In this private world.

 

ooc: you can do whatever you'd like magick.

bic:

Curled up in the overstuffed armchair in the corner of the den, Victor groaned and hissed as shards of his skin were flaked off by his sudden movements. How long had it been since his last encounter with a tesla, five...ten years ago? Back then, when he got shocked vitality would act as a quick regenerator or at least prevent severe damage. Now, his body was tired and weak, barely able to stand up to a punk.

He had already filed the police report with the local officers in the district. When they asked why he hadn't fought back with his own powers, Victor decided to bend the truth. He told them that the assailant was far too quick and was on the ground before defensive actions could take place.

 

Outside on a bench sat the reader named Seth. He sat there with his arms on the top of the bench and his head looking straight up at the sky. He watched the clouds go by and sighed "what a peaceful place this town is. Its only been 4 days since I got here and its still feels weird around here" Seth said and sighed once more "I guess its because I lived in that hell for so long" Seth muttered quietly to himself

 

Toxyn shivered, cradling his knees, while sitting behind a trash can in an ally way. He had been there for the entire night. The trench coat was no good to him, so he had discarded it so not to bring any attention to himself. For the rest of that night though, he had been resting.
His sleep was disrupted by the sound of foot steps. The moment he woke up, he grunted, feeling the pain on his back. He quickly noticed the steps though, and hid behind the trash can. He had to go on instinct for now, and he realised that. He was wounded, afraid, and his emotions would probably take over at any moment. It wouldn't be a good idea to be near people while exposed like this.
For a moment though, he stuck his head out, trying to get a view of the girl, but retreated behind the dumpster again. Wings...

 

A sudden shuffling sound brought Elevir's attention to the back of the alley. At first she tensed up, ready to run if she had to, but a few seconds later she realized that whoever it was didn't mean any harm.

She stepped quietly over to the area where the sound originated, and what she saw startled her at first. The boy in front of her was almost covered in blood, and he was shaking. By the boy's expression she could tell he was hurt and afraid.

Somehow, she was afraid, too. And though she couldn't just run away from him, she didn't want to speak, either. Standing in silence, she looked through the boy's thoughts to answer her questions.

 

Leon wandered into town, his clothes all tattered and his wings a manky grey. Clambering into a darkened corner between buildings he rested on a bin for a moment. His sight fixed itself from the tiredness and he clearly could see others like himself out in clear daylight. With a bit of balancing he stepped out back into light of day and made his way towards a sign reading vacancies.

 

Eva slowly pulled herself out of the tub, wrapping a towel around herself. Taking out the plug in the drain, she watched the tub empty, then went into her room, drying her hair slowly as she went. She had work to do, and whether or not this headache would go away didn't matter. She had it to do, and she had to help manage the business. She went to the dresser, throwing on jeans and a tank top, black of course, with the jeans ripped, then a maroon sweater over that. She went downstairs, looking for Victor. "Dad?"

 

"Huh!"

Victor started in his chair, startled by his foster daughter's presence.

"Oh, hello Eva. How was your soak?"

 

Hope it's not too late to join?

Age: 18
Appearance:

Spoiler

Clothing is almost the same, but with a red and black color scheme and has additional fur suited for cold temperatures.
Bio: Shunned as a child due to her red eyes, ears, and tail. After escaping, she wandered far to the North to avoid any contact with others. Her aggressive nature and wolf-like attributes made her an excellent hunter and tracker, and survived by acting as a bounty hunter. The people of the north had no other alternative, so she lived in relative peace hunting for some time. She began to grow restless however, because of hearing stories from other northern inhabitants of the other "freaks in the South"; after discovering that she could manipulate fire, she decided to head south to see what this newfound power could do in order to help others like her gain freedom. Her appearance and behaviour has earned her the nickname Wolf by those who know her.
Personality: Distant, trust needs to be earned, somewhat of a short fuse and a temper to match, but sometimes seems lonely
Weapon [If any]: Similar to this: http://www.onemanga.com/Inuyasha/382/12
Also is skilled at hand to hand combat and utilizes her fangs and claws.
Gift: Elemental [Fire]

OOC://You're in ::L:

At first when I looked at my subscribed threads and I saw your username I was kinda like, "Wtf did I do?" xD

 

OOC: xDD
I'm not a total psycho. >:

BIC:

Rei growled.
For once, her senses were not helping her.
"...Where in the hell am I?" she thought. She hadn't thought she was away for so long that the landscape of the South lands would change so much. And yet, there she stood, on the top of a small hill, still dressed in the thick fur that saved her life in the North. She sniffed at the air again, attempting to gain some sort of direction, and her wolf-like ears twitched up at the distant scent of a populated area.
"Smells different than most towns...guess it's a South thing?" Rei snorted.
"No matter, if it's a town, that means there's life, and if there's life, then I might have a job...and an opportunity to test this out on things other than snow," she said aloud, glancing at the strange weapon she had recently acquired, which was now attaching and hanging from her belt. She started in the direction of the town.

In a short while, Rei reached the town. Glancing around, she knew that it was very different from the settlements in the North, but there was something more to it. Something in the air was almost...familiar to her, as if she had smelled the air before, a long time ago. She couldn't see any people, but she knew there had to be some around.
Scenting the air again, she picked up a fairly recent scent that stood out among other faded ones. Her years of tracking and hunting in the North led her to the conclusion that the stranger had come in almost the same direction she had, so there was nothing to lose if she followed it.
"Might as well, matches the odd scent of the air here, maybe I can get some answers out of...whatever it is I'm following."
With that, Rei quietly walked further into the town.
