The Misadventures of Charlie Bombay

Deleted • 7 March 2012 at 6:09 PM

@inkstep i have returned!! Is the River any good??

Charlie watched as the orb bounced around Pixle's hands. The electric field encompassed her body. At al loss for words, he lay back on his bed. Everything had spiraled out of control. Yesterday he and Pixle had killed and controlled the game. Now they were pawns in Brenden's. Mind racing, Charlie wondered what else the Oracle had predicted. Drawing a shaky breath, he sat up. Something tapped at the window.

@swimforlife welcome welcome ^^ and yea, if you're ok with it being filmed like you're actually there, holding a camera, it's kind of like a documentary =3
and I gtg in like, 10 minutes

Pixle looked up sharply at the tapping, the energy disipated into the air in all directions as she leaned into the dark 'what the shmeck was that' she muttered, looking over at Charlie, her eyes glinted for a moment as she looked over at the glass of the window.

@inkstep sorry to see you leave... enjoy time w/ your friend and the river!!

Charlie looked up at the window, the shadowy figure danced across the pane. The window cracked open and a green envalope fell to the floor. The figure seemed to disappear into the landscape. The envalope was sealed with a blue wax emblem. Charlie carefully peeled it open and pulled out a faded picture and piece of paper. A young girl had her arms wrapped around a man and a woman's legs. Her toothy smile lit up the black and white image. 'Is this you?' he inquired, handing her the picture. The piece of paper contained a single, handwritten word, 'wasteland'.

inkstep • 7 March 2012 at 11:15 PM

@swimforlife Woa wow crazyness >.< almost bit someone's hand off in a rather sudden and annoying game of pocky X|

Pixle looked down at the image, her eyes finally focusing enough to let her see what it really was 'I..Im not sure..' was her one tone reply as she looked over the scrappy photo, the faces were somewhat familiar as her dream, or what her mind would let her recall, flashed through her head faster than the bullet trains that ran by her old home.

@inkstep how'd the hand taste?? XD got a doctors' appt. wont be on much today...

Charlie slid her the paper, it was slight browned at the edges. Blue ink read 'wasteland'. Flipping the paper over, Charlie noticed a slight water mark. He held it up to the window and discovered an elaborate design. 'Check this out!', he exclaimed wondering who had given it.

inkstep • 8 March 2012 at 4:10 PM

@swimforlife Deleeshees =w= XD and that's fine, i have allot of schoolwork, and a recital at like, 7 or 8 your tiime

Pixle looked over at Charlie, getting to her feet and making her way over to him 'what.' she muttered, looking at the watermark , tilting her head a bit to the side 'what..is that...' she muttered, the picture still in iher hand

Deleted • 8 March 2012 at 7:32 PM

@inkstep hehehhehehehehehe hand sandwich!!

Charlie raised an eyebrow, 'Not sure, its some kind of water mark.' The intricate design depicted various animals entiwned in ivy. The mark looked to cheerful to have come from Klaxion. Charlie hand the paper for Pixle to examine. Sitting back on the bed, Charlie looked out the window. No other traces had been left by the mysterious visitor.

inkstep • 8 March 2012 at 11:00 PM

@swimforlife LOL
dude, so Im going to see In Time with a friend tomorow, have you seen it? and if you have, is it any good? if you haven't it's ok ^^

Pixle sighed as she rubbed the gem on her necklace, looking at the design, she sighed and leaned against the wall, staring at the faint watermark 'it... hmn.....it just seems...different, but familiar!' she whispered silently to herself

Deleted • 9 March 2012 at 3:24 PM

@inkstep
Haven't seen it, hope is good!

Charlie watched the sun rise from the window. It was the same sun that he watched from Earth, but it seemed diffrent. The golden light streamed through the glass, creating whisps of light on the floor. Sighing, Charlie collaped on to the bed. 'I never noticed your neckalce before, the stone looks kinda like the one my dad left me.'

inkstep • 9 March 2012 at 3:41 PM

@swimforlife blaaahhh, each friday the theater updates and so now we're gonna go see ghost rider 2 >.>

'hmn..' Pixle sighed 'the man who helped me when I lived in Slovaka gave it to me, when I went to work in india at the palace as a 'mlaymate' to the princess, it was supposed to stand for my heritage....' she muttered, the cut stone swirled with electricity on the inside, it's deep black color sported streaks of neon green and blue as she rubbed it.

Deleted • 9 March 2012 at 3:58 PM

@inkstep awww, im sorry but I heard Ghost Rider 2 was pretty good, so...

'Interesting! I'd didn't know you lived in Inida, where else have you lived?' Charlie asked looking a the pendant. The black sheen was illuminated by the breaking sun.

inkstep • 9 March 2012 at 4:13 PM

@swimforlife =3 Im pretty hyped

Pixle shrugged 'Slovakia, until I was six and went to india for three years, then Scotland for one, Brazil for another, my sub father adopted me when I had just turned 14... I've traveled allot.;...' Pixle just shrugged 'never found any joy in it really, it was cool and all...just...missing something and I dont know what' she muttered as she watched the sun's light bathe the hard tile floor

@inkstep

Words caught in Charlie's throat. He examined the picture again. The girl looked a bit like Pixle, but he wasn't sure. Setting it down on the night stand, Chalie stood up to stretch his legs. The grey haired woman returned with breakfast. Charlie peeled open a fruit that looked like a lime. Its was filled with an orange pulp. He savored each bite, the fruit tasted like cantalope.

inkstep • 9 March 2012 at 4:50 PM

Pixle sighed and kept her sight trained on the window, a rush of boredom and fear draped over her, every breath just drew them closer to the second phase, and obviously neither knew what was in store.

@inkstep

Charlie drew a sharp breath, the stars began to burn again. 'Pixle, Phase 2 must be soon...my tattoo....' He lay on the uncomoftable bed and exhaled. Cracking his knuckles Charlie, writhed in pain. The searing senation had become worse than ever.

inkstep • 10 March 2012 at 12:12 PM

@swimforlife

Pixle looked over at him 'are you ok>' she asked softly, still rubing the glowing stone, her eyes burning a bit as she watched the window 'if I knew what to do I would help you, Im sorry I dont...' she muttered

Deleted • 10 March 2012 at 12:17 PM

@inkstep

Charlie tried to sit up but collapse onto the pillows. As quickly as the pain came on, it disappeared. 'Its gone' Charlie mumbled, rubbing his side. Somehow it seemed the tattoo burned before something happened, something bad. The woman returned, and spoke, 'Its almost noon, please follow me.' She stared coldly at them.

inkstep • 10 March 2012 at 12:27 PM

Pixle sighed, looking over at charlie with a tense nervous look in her eyes as she got to her feet, tailing behind the woman as she left, looking back and waving her hand for Charlie to follow. Her mind echoed a soft whispering again as she looked back up at the woman.

@inkstep

Charlie hesiataed for a moment, but stepped out the door. Pixle's eyes were filled with nervousness. Charlie smiled and walked across the tile floor, making a loud slapping sound with his feet. Why had everything become so loud all of a sudden. The woman stoped at a seal door. She pressed her eyes up to a retnial scanner. 'Acess Confimed' said a synthesized voice. The door popped open with a hiss. The woman led Pixle and Charlie into a vehical that resembled a dune buggy. Stepping into the driver's side, the woman gestured for them to join her in the buggy. She clicked open the pressurized steel door and moved the car forward. Sunlight streamed into the garage. Dirt was kicked up from the all-terrian tires. Charlie coughed a bit. Twenty minutes later the woman stopped the buggy, and opened the door to the back seat.

inkstep • 10 March 2012 at 12:49 PM

Pixle was unsure of everyhing, and the ride made it worse, eventually it stopped 'thank gaw' she thought to herself as she climbed out of the buggy, her eyes adjusting to the sudden light
@swimforlife sorry it's so short

Deleted • 10 March 2012 at 12:54 PM

@inkstep thats okay, help me come up with Phase 2. I'm short on ideas...

Charlie stood next to Pixle as the woman began to speak. 'Welcome to Phase 2! Brenden will be along any minute...' Dirt blew around thier ankles, as a hover board floated down from the sky. Brenden hoped off and snickered. 'So, you've made it this far, lets see how you can do today!'

inkstep • 10 March 2012 at 1:28 PM

@swimforlife idk XD survive the desert threats? maybe have to find another artifact thingy? I think there should be one to test their abilities, like a completely dry or flooded area, or an electric grid or magnet field, lol

Pixle shuddered slightly s she backed up a step, watching brenden, her hands balling into fists and her eyes blazing with the same feeling she had had for a few days now, wanting to skin the twit and leave him as food for whatever creatures roamed the planet.

Deleted • 10 March 2012 at 1:35 PM

'Phase 2 starts now! Once you find the Chest, you will have completed this stage.' Brenden flug a piece of paper at Charlie and stepped onto the hover board. 'Good luck' he called as he acended. Charlie looked at the paper, it seemed to be somekind of map. The hot desert sand blew around thier ankles. Passing the map to Pixle, Charlie began to walk towards the horizon.

@inkstep

Okay!

inkstep • 10 March 2012 at 1:43 PM

Pixle sighed as she looked at the map, following Charlie as the sun beat down on them, the wind swirled around her as her hair kept getting into her face 'this map doesnt really seem all that helpful' she muttered under her breath as she continued to follow after him

@inkstep

Charlie turned back to see Pixle throwing the hair out of her face, but the wind blew it back. 'Hey Pixle, cut your hair short like mine, and you'll never have that problem!' he joke. The sand shifted suddenly underneath his feet. Charlie felt like he was sinking. A long, red something grabbed Charlie around his ankles and pulled him down...

(Charlie will wake up in an electic feild/grid and Pixle will have to rescue him, if thats okay with you)

inkstep • 10 March 2012 at 2:00 PM

@swimforlife that's fine ^^
'Mah hair is short!' she snipped 'it's just spazzy!' she sighed, her hair was just past her chin, but it still gave her issues, Pulling the cloth off of her wrost, she pulleed it over her head and secured it in the back (Makeshift bandanna XD) Pixle jumped slighely, backing up,'Charlie?' she muttered as she backed up a bit, the sand had a slight sink hole in it where he had disappeared, she swallowed down her fear as she stepped onto the sinkhole, instantly dipping into a dark cave, her necklace pulsing a bright light

Deleted • 10 March 2012 at 2:06 PM

@inkstep Okie Dokie!! Pixle to the resuce (for the 100th time today 😊 )

Something was bound over Charlie's eyes. He sensed movement, but wasn't sure where he was going. Suddenly, the blood rushed to his head, someone had picked him up upside down. He could feel a rope binding his feet. A sound of metal ans electricity flowing was the last thing he heard before be blacked out.

inkstep • 10 March 2012 at 2:15 PM

@swimforlife lol XD

Pixle finally felt better, she was close to something, she couldnt tell what, but her eyes lit up, showing her every pulse of life, every spark in the air 'at least I know where I'm going' she thought to herself as she walked, eventually making it to a large room, static coiled around her as she snapped, the lights vanishing 'better t ostay hidden' she muttered, walking through another tunnel

Deleted • 10 March 2012 at 2:19 PM

@inkstep

Flashes of light, broke the darkness of Charlie's mind. A voice spoke, it was calm ans smooth like silk, 'Come to me Charlie. Things are better here...' A gut feeling told Charlie to ignore it.

inkstep • 10 March 2012 at 2:21 PM

Pixle sihed as she walked, the sparks bouncing after her 'there's so much energy down here' she thought as she ran her hand allong one of the walls 'it would be easier to just pin out a steady pulse and follow it, now wouldnt it' she sighed and kept walking, watching the white pulsing, one caught her eye as she turned, staring down a dark hall, she could roughly make out a faint green-blue outline 'that better be who I think it is' she thought to herself as she cautiously but eagerly made her way up the tunnel
