The Misadventures of Charlie Bombay

@inkstep

A young boy no younger than seven ran along the deck of the pool. Slipping on a puddle, the child smacked his head on the concrete. It was about closing time; the lifeguard was aloof to what happened. The uncontious boy lay at the bottom of the deep end. Early the next morning, the pool cleaner came to change the filters. To his horror, he discovered a lifeless boy on the bottom. The ambulence was summoned and the boy was removed from the pool. At 9:15, he was pronounced 'dead'. The body was shipped to the county coroner for an autopsy. Just as the first incision was made, the blonde boy say up and screamed. The coroner fainted due to shock. An assistant stitched they boy up and sent him home with a juice box.

Kind of random-- but I guess Charlie's water powers kept him alive XD

@swimforlife XD I freaking loved that

"Wow" she muttered as she watched, crossing her arms "Ok im just wandering what the point of this phase is" she muttered, shuddering a bit, now that the solid fact that it was just scenes from earlier in their lives, was planted in her mind, there seemed to be no threat really.

@inkstep Yes a juice box XD If that happened to me I'd be scarred for life

Charlie rubbed his head, 'I vaguley remember that. The juice was terrible!' Gently, he tapped his side opposite of the tattoos, a long pink scar spanned from his chest to his hip. With age it faded, as did the memory. The blinding light flashed once more. This time it was a recent memory, it was the day Charlie life changed forever. A girl who looked as if she was torn from an old new clipping sat a a desk a few rows away.
'What the...' Charlie breathed.

@Swimforlife XD lol, juicebox for the lil' tike =D

Pixle laughed a bit, sighing and stopping as she watched the scene "wait isnt this the school? er...a school?" she muttered lowly as the scene changed

@inkstep --Nervous, don't be is one of my favorite quotes by Pixle. It was the first thing she said to Charlie

Watching the scene slowly unfold, Charlie wondered what this would have to do with anything. The green haired Charlie slipped a note to Pixle. 'Nervous,' she mouthed, 'I think you're the oly one nervous here'. Taking a step back, the memory seemed to proceded until the blinding light snapped once more. Pixle was no longer chained to Charlie; in fact she was nowhere in sight.

inkstep • 4 April 2012 at 7:47 PM

@swimforlife XD lol, i dont think i have a favorite quote from charlie =O

Pixle shuddered slightly as she watched the memory, she wondered if either one of them still had the note, as the scene looked as though it was going to change, she found that charlie was gone and the only thing left was the whiteness that surrounded her

@inkstep

Dark shapes faded from the celestial light. Charlie found himself standing in a funeral home. 'What the?!?' An open casket sat in the corner. Laurels and boquets of fragrant flowers plastered the far wall. A salty tear trickled from Charlie's ice blue eye when he saw the contents of the castket. The girl was clothed in black and white. Her short brown hair was highlighted in gold. Although her eyes were shut, Charlie knew thier lovley grey-green color. PIXLE!

inkstep • 6 April 2012 at 11:43 AM

@swimforlife Im almost done with the quick sketch of pixle =D

Pixle was still standing in the whiteness, she took a few steps back, though there was no where to go, the bright white light that surrounded her was almost blinding, she shuddered a bit as water began to pool at her feet. "Its mental...its all in the head" she muttered to herself.

Deleted • 6 April 2012 at 11:53 AM

@inkstep Awesome, I'd love to see it. I will be back in a few hours

People shuffled around the funeral home, with somber faces. A few weeped, while other chatted and embraced the crying ones. Charlie apporached the casket, something seemed wrong. He carressed her pale and cold face. Her lifeless corpse seemed so real. A smaal crimson spot appeared on Pixles cheek. Charlie looked at his hand, it was bleeding. Crimson tendrils raced down his arm, it was like he was being sliced by an invisible knife.

inkstep • 6 April 2012 at 11:56 AM

@swimforlife kk =3

Pixle shuddered a bit, she slipped back and slammed her head on the floor "Crap!" she gasped, cringing at the sudden pain, her vision went blurry for a moment as the scene around her got darker, she sighed, still reminding herself it was all mental, none of it could really be happening, she hoped

@inkstep
Hey, Inkie! I'm back. My mom dragged me to the mall=UGH. I did get to look at cameras for my film competion though! How's your game design going? The familes with diffrent blood colors and the war?

Red now covered most of Charlie's arm, it seemed that it was being shredded. Pain suddenly raced through his arm and leg. It was if Pixle's pain, had suddenly become his own. Collapsing, he wheezed. Drawing a sharp breath, the scene changed again. Charlie's father was chained to post. Both of his wrist were shackled to a large wooden stake. Brenden calmly walked toward Charlie's dad. 'Bombay,' he snickered, 'You have raised your son so well-but not good enough to save your punny planet. Klaxion will forever rule the skies!' Pulling out a gleaming blade, Brenden swiftly sliced into his thoat. A waterfall of blood seeped from his neck. Brenden grapped a handful of skin and removed his juglar. Neck limp, Charlies dad fell. Hand poised to the sky, Brenden cackled. Charlie felt something wet and fleshy in his hand. Upon colser examination, he discovered it was his father's jugular. His heart stopped. Turning to retch, Charlie tossed the flesh on the ground.

That was gory XD

inkstep • 6 April 2012 at 4:05 PM

@swimforlife wb swims XD im sorry you had to go to the mall! that must suck >.< Im still scripting the game, writing out everything and all the ideas =P XD yay gore!

Pixle shuddered a bit, sparks surrounding her and filling the water, the deadly condition turning on her, a jolt ran up her back, the metal brace on her spine being a perfect conductor. she collapsed into the water, her vision flashed for a minute, the back of her head throbbing and her breath coming short as the water filled around her.

Deleted • 6 April 2012 at 4:33 PM

@inkstep Awesome! How did your sketch of Pixle turn out?

Charlie stepped back, he knew this was all in his head, however, it felt so real. The blinding light flashed once more, the outline of his fathers body faded into the new surroundings. Reaching into his pocket, Charlie produced the C that Pixle had drawn and the mystrious card from the Oracle. 'Death' was written in red ink, or at least thats what Charlie thought. The man with the tattoo on his skull was dressed in black robes. Sitting upon a large throne with a skull tipped septor in his hand, the man snickered. Vocies told Charlie to follow the left corridor. Striding toward the hall, Charlie heard a famliar voice.

inkstep • 6 April 2012 at 4:37 PM

@swimforlife I cant do hands worth my life XD so Im still working on it

Pixle coughed a bit, her spine burned as she got to her feet, the white faded into blackness, the room warmed up a bit, the musty smell that filled her nose reminded her of an old library. Shivering slightly, she took a step back, still dripping wet. "where am I" she muttered to herself, collapsing to her knees as she struggled to catch her breath.

Deleted • 6 April 2012 at 4:41 PM

@inkstep No problem, take your time. You don't even have to show it to me.

Feet striking the metal floor created an ominous echo. His ice blue eyes searched for the owner of the voice. After several locked doors, a large glass window appeared. The glass was tinted, but Charlie could see inside. A woman clad in white was standing over a muscualr male's frame. The young man had blonde hair and looked strikingly familiar. 'What the...its me!' Charlie exclaimed under his breath.

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

inkstep • 6 April 2012 at 4:49 PM

@swimforlife XDD I will show it to you! and lol, dRAMAtIC CLIFFHANGER POST XD

Pixle watched the blackness of the room, she could make out furnuriture and a dull string of light fighting it's way in through the crack under the door. Getting to her feet, she walked over to the door to find it locked "darn" she muttered to herself, watching the light, a few shadows passing through the light

Deleted • 6 April 2012 at 4:54 PM

@inkstep

Pressing his face to the glass, Charlie watched the scene unfold. The other Charlie layed on the cold, metal table, unconsious. Holding a starange device, the woman leaned over him. His muscual torso was exposed, his chest rose and fell. Pressing the devise to the skin, the woman began to outline something. A few minutes later, she stepped back and admired her work. With a smile, she turned to leave. Blinking, Charlie discovered THREE RED STARS tattooed on the other Charlie's body.

inkstep • 6 April 2012 at 5:00 PM

Pixle watched the shadows closely, as they moved about, there was whispering and a few bangs here and there, but nothing too bad. she sighed, getting to her feet and walking to one of the chairs, she sighed as she fell into it, the cushion let out a puff of dust into the air as she sat.

@inkstep

The woman popped open the door and turned to the right corridor. Charlie slipped into the room before the door locked. Staring at his other self, he shuddered. How was this even possible? Creeping close to the uncontious Charlie, he touched his arm. Nothing happened, his hand passed through the other Charlie.

The blinding light flashed once more, placing Charlie in a living room.

inkstep • 6 April 2012 at 5:10 PM

@swimforlife XD i feel braindead right now

Pixle sighed, watching the dull light that leaked in through the doorway. She sighed and pulled her knees to her chest, letting her dully colored eyes slipped close as she waited for something to happen

Deleted • 6 April 2012 at 5:13 PM

@inkstep Yeah me too, I don;t want this to die, but I feel like my ideas have run dry...

Out of the corner of his eye, Charlie loacted a shape. It was female and quite possibly Pixle. 'Pixle!' he shouted in a hushed tone, waiting for some terrible beast to rip him to shreds.

inkstep • 6 April 2012 at 5:15 PM

@swimforlife lol, i sure we'll both go on some sort of idea rant XD

Pixle lifted her head slightly, staring at the blackness, she bit her tongue "Charlie?" she muttered, tilting her head a bit, she got to her feet and grinned, running over to him and almost knocking him over in a hug

Deleted • 6 April 2012 at 5:17 PM

@inkstep Yeah, I hope XD

Almost knocked over from the force of her hug, Charlie smiled. 'Pixstix! Are you okay? What knid of mind trap did they force you through?' He embraced her tightly, her hair smelled faintly of oranges and ginger. 'I saw my tattoo and Brenden murdering my father' he breathed, nearly crying. 'But the worst part, I saw you dead.'

inkstep • 6 April 2012 at 5:22 PM

"The only thing that happened was that I almost drowned...." she muttered, looking up at him, she hugged him a bit tighter, shivering a bit "It's all mental...We can live im sure.." she muttered, stepping back "what happened to your arm?"
@swimforlife bluuuh, XD I have to remember what color the uniform is, im drawing her from a scene in another rp >_<

Deleted • 6 April 2012 at 5:28 PM

@inkstep Aww, I bet you'll remember. I bet its amazing! I found out I'm getting the HG books for Easter!

'I'm so sorry, Pixle' he breathed pulling her close. Letting go, he examined his arm. 'Actually, I don't really know. I was at your funeral, staring at your corpse. The next thing I knew, I was dripping blood everywhere. It felt like an invisble knife sliced up my arm. Are you hurt?'

inkstep • 6 April 2012 at 5:32 PM

@swimforlife EPIC! have you read them already or not?

"No, im fine, just wet" she laughed sllightly "but... that's freaky...you better be alright...." she muttered, hugging him again.

Deleted • 6 April 2012 at 5:34 PM

@inkstep No, I've been on the waiting list for months! I'm so excited!

Charlie smiled feeling her warmpth. At least this was real. Stepping back, Charlie explored the lving room. It seemed to be from a high class appartment. 'Wonder who live here?' Nothing indicated if any one had lived there, let alone who.

inkstep • 6 April 2012 at 5:39 PM

@swimforlife they're suuuch good books! holy cow youre gonna love them =D

"yea wonder who..." she sighed, crossing her arms "how do you think we can get out of here?" she muttered "the door's locked...." she muttered, looking from him to the door and back at him

Deleted • 6 April 2012 at 8:21 PM

@inkstep

Charlie sifted though a stack of papers on the desk. Nothing seemed to be of interest, just dozens of old news papers and magizines. Something moved in the corner of the room, creating a shadowy auora.

Brain dead---

inkstep • 6 April 2012 at 10:38 PM

@swimforlife mini internet connection! XD

Pixle turned sharply at the sight of movement, shuddering a bit "Charlie what was that?" she muttered, looking over at him for a moment, quivering a bit
