The Misadventures of Charlie Bombay

@swimforlife XD haha awesome

Pixle was quivering a bit, her nails digging into her shoulder as she tried to cope with the pain. "s..someone else her eknows about as m..much as I do..." she managed to say, her breathing was off, the pain making her heart race. Moving her arm from her shoulder, Pixle messed with the wrist joint, her hand had been clenched into a fist as default from the disconnecting nerves, it loosened up but just a bit, a spark traveling up into the frayed wire, causing a jolt to shoot up the girl's spine.

@inkstep

'I wonder who else knows. Maybe Brenden, afterall he did send us back to that memory of the day you lost your arm.' A spark shot up Pixle's back, she straighten up form a moment, he eyes locked on the wall. 'Does that hurt? I thought you were immune to electricity?' Charlie asked, with a confused look. The joint between the arm and shoulder seemed to have a thick lary of rust caked around the edge. Pixle's hand was clenched into a tight fist.

inkstep • 18 April 2012 at 5:38 PM

"I..I am but..." she shuttered again, cringing a bit. "I...I'm not sure...it..." she bit her lip, holding in a yelp as another spark hit the frayed wires "the arm wasn't built to take as much when deactivated or dismembered, so I could keep from accidentally conducting the eletricity, and hurting someone..." she mutered, shivering a bit as she lowered her head, quivering from the pain. "Charlie they're going to do what they can to stop us from wining...they want us dead but they cant just kill us here..." she muttered under her breath.

@inkstep

Charlie nodded, only now realizing the game was no more than a death sentence. 'I don't think we could have won from the begining. The whole thing's been rigged. The only way to win is beat them at thier own game.' Inching his fingers closer to the prosthetic, Charlie touched her arm. 'What do we do about this?' he asked, sharply pulling his arm back.

inkstep • 18 April 2012 at 5:49 PM

Pixle cringed just slightly as his hand brushed against her arm, shivering a bit, she shrugged slightly "hold on..." she muttered, pulling a pin from her hair, it had been there the whole time, hiding with the white blend, who knew when you needed something that small and pliable? popping the pin into one of the bolts, she worked away until it was loose, popping it out and moving to the next one, she continued until she could slip the arm off, though underneath, the stub was just wrapped in a black cover to keep it from becoming irritated or infected. "I'm sure I can live without an arm for a day or two.." she spoke softly and a bit weakly, the three pinpoints where the wires connected were lined with rust, something she could easily wash off later.
@swimforlife XD the image in my head is probably not well described!

Deleted • 18 April 2012 at 6:11 PM

@inkstep I get it perfectly, no sweat I bet you described it better that I could XD

Charlie glanced at the stub of an arm. He felt embarrassed to be fixated on the remainder of her limb. The sun rose higher in the sky, creating a dancing orb of light through the window. Suddenly, the steel door slid open with a hiss. None other that Brenden, walked in, with a rather skimpily(is that even a word?) dressed woman. Her platinum blonde hair reached down to the tip of her short skirt.
'Pixle, Charlie, meet Phase 4.' he said, soving the woman foward.
--Honestly I don't even know what happened 😋

inkstep • 18 April 2012 at 6:13 PM

@swimforlife XD

Pixle tilted her head slightly, rubbing her eyes, she had had the contacts on for too long, but ignored the stinging as she stared at the woman "What do you mean 'meet phase 4'" she snipped quickly as she looked up at Brenden, glaring a bit

Deleted • 18 April 2012 at 7:40 PM

@inkstep Well, here's what my tired mind invented...

Brenden nodded, with a devilish grin, 'You are also responsible for her saftey. Instead of a gem stone, you will be protecting the gem of my life. If she dies, you lose. You will be bound with her senses, whatever pain she feels, so will you. If for some reason you both live and my girl dies, I promise I will kill you in the most violent way possible. Don't forget, I know everything about you, EVERYTHING!' Charlie rasied a sandy eyebrow, things had just become even more twisted and complicated. Brenden reached into his pocket and pulled out an injection. He jabbed the needle into Charlies arm. 'I injected you with a pain connection, in will code the DNA in you nerves to match the pain in hers,' he said pointing to the girl.

inkstep • 18 April 2012 at 8:35 PM

@swimforlife

Pixle shuddererd slightly, her eyes widening slightly as she glared at the girl, everything about her was...off

that's all I got, dealing with boy problems XD

Deleted • 19 April 2012 at 5:45 PM

@inkstep Awww! Sorry about that, boys are... well boys! There needs to be more Charlie's and less Brendens... If you need to talk you can, I listen, without judging

Breden grasped Pixle's prosthetic arm. 'What a shape to see such fine craftsmanship rusted.' His slender fingers danced up her shoulder and tugged at the wires. Looks like water dammage, eh Charlie?' Charlie grimaced as the finger was being pointed at him. Finding Pixle's human arm, Brenden injected her with a pain tracker as well.

inkstep • 19 April 2012 at 6:18 PM

@swimforlife lol, no it's no problem anymore ^^ he is my life-long (ish) friend, and his parents are deforcing but he's not good with bad things happening XD so I'm trying to make him feel better =P

Pixle glared at Brenden, daggers forming in her eyes, but vanishing as a cold shudder shot up her spine, her eyes clamping shut "you're such a b-" she was cut off as the needle penetrated her skin, driving deep into her arm "uh, OW!"

Deleted • 19 April 2012 at 6:27 PM

@inkstep I'm so sorry for him. I'm glad you could be of help, you always say the right things. Didn't mean to intrude on your personal business. Oh! I have a HS, story... In Drivers Ed, we're doing a project--blah, blah- I was looking for GIFs of traffic signs and I found a Home Stuck GIF. I was like OMG we have to use this! Then this Brenden like dude was like 'What the ---- is Home Stuck? No way!' I just laughed 😊

Brended snickered, pain seemed to be filled with humor in his opinion. 'Follow me, Phase 4 starts now.' He led the two down the hall and toward a pressurized steel door. It raised slowly, clanging as it ascended. 'The object of this round is to find and rescue Tana. Like I said, whatever pain she feels, you feel. Two weeks, you have two weeks time to complete this task. If not, the pain trackers will burst causing severe internal bleeding'

inkstep • 19 April 2012 at 6:34 PM

@swimforlife haha! that's awesome XD and no you weren't intruding at all =3

Pixle shuddered a bit, she would be useless without her arm, mostly, but figured she could manage somehow. her eyes took a moment to adjust as light poured in, the scenery was foreign, no that was an understatement, the scenery was /alien/ the deep chasms and oddly colored forest were the first to catch her attention, the creatures that showed themselves ever so often were the second. "but then if we dont find her, wont she die?" she muttered under her breath, shuddering a bit

Deleted • 19 April 2012 at 6:41 PM

@inkstep I'm sketching Sir Brarks-Oddly! Its probably going to be bad, but I want to attempt it. How's the Pixle/Xavier sketch going?

The trees loomed in the shadows, a thick alien lichen hung down from the branches. It was a bioluminecent aqua color. The eerie blue light seemed to guide a path that ran deep into the thicket. Brended laughed, 'Off you go, don't let the Mefkas bite!' The door slammed shut and disappeared into the wall of plants. Blue eyes widdening, Charlie turned to Pixle. 'Dude! The door just dematerialized! Are you going to be alright with one arm?' He locked his fingers around Pixle's good hand, her slender fingers encircled his. The gesture was comforting, but the beast inside Charlie clawed to be free. 'Whattda think a Mefka is?'

inkstep • 19 April 2012 at 6:45 PM

@swimforlife hehehe, sounds like it will be cute >w< and it's on the line stage, woohoo! hehe

Pixle nodded "I can manage..." she mumbled under her breath, keeping her eyes locked on the darkness "I'm not sure but I don't think I want to know...lets start looking I guess?" she shrugged as she started off into the darkness, following the glowing blue substance

Deleted • 19 April 2012 at 6:50 PM

@inkstep Nice! What software do you use? I'm just using old fashion pen and paper. Then I snap a photo and it looks terrible! Any suggestions?

Striding forward, Charlie followed the make-shift path. A tangle of fern like plants created fringe around walkway. A bird call sounded, it was a combination of a laugh and a horse's whinney. The beating of wings could beheard, the creature producing it must be quite large. 'Pixle, get down,' he hissed, ushering her toward the trunk of a massive tree. The bird landed with a thump in the clearing. It had the appearnce of a falcon on steroids, its muscualar frame was beyond intimidating. Its feathers looked like silver razors, poised to slice anthing it touched.

inkstep • 19 April 2012 at 6:58 PM

@swimforlife hehe, well Paint.Net is a free, GREAT program that I think is better than photoshop ellements OR SAI =3 let me get a link! I usually upload the picture and then go over it in p.n

Pixle's eyes were wide, she was quivering slightly, and didn't care to show she was rather frightened "what /is/ that thing..." she hissed under her breath, looking up at charlie and then back at the creature.

Deleted • 20 April 2012 at 3:18 PM

@inkstep Thanks! Downloaded it, it ROCKS! Thanks a bunch 😊

Charlie crouched low to the ground, he could smeel the acrid scent of the alien soil. 'Pixle, we've got to stay low. I think if we circle back around it, we can aviod confrontation.' Lowering himself to his stomach, he began to army-crawl across the ground. He looke back at Pixle, realizing it would be nearly impossible for her.

Turning, he crawled back and sat at her side. 'Any other ideas?'

inkstep • 20 April 2012 at 3:41 PM

@swimforlife no problem ^^

"I think you're right..." she murmured, sighing "hold on" snaking a bit deeper into the shadows, Pixle snuck along the treeline, keeping hidden, she had made it half way around before she had to stop, waving her hand for Charlie to come over to where she was.


hehe, I'm sorking on Pixle's cosplay >=3 hehe, in this rp of course she had her hair dyed and is wearing contacts to make her eyes a dull grey-green, but the cosplay is white hair red eyes, hehe

Deleted • 20 April 2012 at 4:28 PM

@inkstep Are you cosplaying as Pixle?

Tip-toeing cautiously, Charlie joined Pixle behind the tree. The large bird let out a blood curdling shriek, as it flapped its wings. Its large black eyes seemed to burn holes in whatever it stared at. At the end of its massive feet, sat razor sharp talons. The bird was dangerous, in more ways than one. Suddenly, Charlie recalled something in the pocket of his jump suit. It was a pomagranite-like fruit from the banquet. 'I think if we distaract it, we might be able to get around it.' With a twist of his shoulder, he lobbed the fruit into the brush.

inkstep • 20 April 2012 at 4:36 PM

@swimforlife I will =D as soon as I find a white wig with the right weave

I hope you're right!" she hissed under her breath as he hucked the fruit, she started off behind the bird, continuing to run a bit and checking back every now and then to make sure Charlie as following. "crap!" tripping and slamming into the ground, she rolled down the slite hill, landing in a clearing, right back on the path "Well that was easy" she murmured, laughing a bit and getting back to her feet.

Deleted • 20 April 2012 at 5:00 PM

@inkstep SWEET! Are you going to use red contacts? You MUST show me a picture, only if your comfortable, though. If I ever cosplay I would go as Charlie or Dave Sprite! XD

Pixle disappeared into the thicket, Charlie sprinted after her. He located her in a clearing, laying on the ground. Her short hair was laced with twigs, mud smeared across her face. 'What happened to you? My clumsiness must be wearing on to you!' he said, grinning. The beating of wings could be heard once more. 'Oh....no' Charlie muttered, glancing skyward. The bird landed a few yards away, and crowed. The blade like feathers rattled as it preened its wings. 'You think the feathers can detatch at will?' Charlie whispered, wondering what kind of projectiles would be launched at them.

inkstep • 20 April 2012 at 5:08 PM

@swimforlife haha I'm always fine with showing pics of my cosplays ^^ Idk if I'll get the contacts, it depends on if my mom will let me or not, ever siince the whole thing that went around with the contacts scratching up your eyes, AND the fact that it's 28$ for a pair and I still need 200 for my class =P ah well we will see

"I fell!" she giggled, stopping and losing the smile as the bird landed, she shuddered a bit and rubbed her shoulder "ah, probably..." she muttered, staring at the bird wide-eyed, it seemed more menacing with every passing second. "what now lime head?" she muttered, taking a step back as she watched the massive creature, all the ways it could maim them were running through her head.

Deleted • 20 April 2012 at 5:20 PM

@inkstep Awesome! I bet you'll look amazing without the contacts 😊

Large black eyes glared at Pixle and Charlie. The massive bird snapped is beak, which was also razor sharp. Ducking its head, the bird sped toward the two. The knife like feathers were poised, looking as if the could slice your flesh with the smallest touch. 'Run!' Charlie screeched, grabbing Pixle's hand. The ground shook as the bird pushed off the ground and became airborne.

inkstep • 20 April 2012 at 5:25 PM

@swimforlife hehehe thanks =D

Pixle almost screamed as the bird bolted at them, her hand clenched up and she stumbled a bit, running after him, being partially dragged "gaw this is horrible" she muttered under her breath, dull eyes locked on the metal bird.

Deleted • 20 April 2012 at 6:39 PM

@inkstep

With a sharp shreech, a blade flew from the birds wing. 'Pixle, do you think the bird is actually living or a cyborg bird?' The knife whistled as it said through the air, it seemed to be directed at Pixle. Charlie sprung from the ground and pushed her out of the way. His shoulder was cut deeply, but the shiny metal. Crimson blood trickled out and stained the jumpsuit. Muttering a curse, he removed his weight from Pixle. 'You all right? Those blades are sharp.' Suddenly, it felt as if a but of a gun was forced into Charlie's rib cage. He glanced at Pixle and realzied she was having the same sensation. 'The pain tracker' he muttered as his body thumped to the dusty ground.

inkstep • 20 April 2012 at 6:45 PM

Cringing and coughing a bit, Pixle muttered under her breath as she sat up, looking over at Charlie "oh no are you alright?" she bit her lip as her gaze landed on the gash, a worried look on her face. Another screech from the bird caught her attention, getting to her feet, she ran out in front of it "Over here you over sized turky!" she called, luering the bird over to her.
@swimforlife PIXLE YOU PSYCHO

Deleted • 20 April 2012 at 7:35 PM

@inkstep Pixle why you crazy? Feel free to make up traps, enemies or beasts! 😊

Blue eyes widdening, Charlie watched as Pixle attempted to attract the bird. He wondered if the great winged beast understood her taunts. A thunderous call erupted from the throat of the bird as it launched itself toward Pixle. Concentraing on the puddle of water, near the tree, Charlie willed it to rise. Focusing his mind on the hydrogen bonds and wetness, he sent a jet stream at the beast. 'Hey! You've gotta clean the bird before you roast it!' he shouted with a giggle.

inkstep • 21 April 2012 at 4:25 AM

a long whip forming in her hand, Pixle continued to attract the bird, snapping the electricity around it's neck and jerking it toward her, though it proved to be a stupid idea, the metal feathers flew everywhere, in every direction. Shuddering and concentrating harder than she figured was possible, Pixle kept her grip on the static whip, the bird lunged at her, it's beak catching her through her left side, right above where the support for her leg ended. "Crud!" she hissed as she fell to her knee, bringing the creature down with her
@swimforlife hehe

Deleted • 21 April 2012 at 12:18 PM

@inkstep Static Whip! 😊

Charlie watched as Pixle tussled with the breast. She had conjured an electrostatic whip, harnessing all of its power. The bird, angry at Pixle, sliced her side. 'Noooooo!' he called, running to her side as she fell. The sound of metal clattering rung out. With a loud thump, the bird fell. 'Are you alright?!!?' Charlie asked, eyes still locked on the bird. 'I think you short circuted its mainframe control panel.'
