@silver_winged@leafpeltFor a while the pain had been pumping mercilessly through her body and she had been able to only whale and whimper in agony but after her shoe had been taken off and the pressure around the wound had been released, she'd forced herself to keep a little quiet. The conversation between the two girls was quite disturbing to listen to. Her eyes were wide and slightly afraid and her mouth opened and closed as that of a fish. It was immensely inconvenient how fast she'd gotten herself in a situation with probably painful consequences (well, electrifying hurt, in her opinion and foot hacking wasn't exactly painless either). Despite the desire to protest, she kept quiet, hoping not to anger the crazy dark haired girl any furhter. It seemed as if her anger had died out but she had no desire to risk being shooted again. She'd stopped trashing around, despite the unbearable sting in her foot that made her want to really hack it off. The darn thing wasn't good for anything this way. She was probably going to limp for the rest of her life, if they managed to fix her foot that is...She restricted herself from glaring bloody death at the curly haired girl. That would definitelly get her in trouble. Angling her head so she glanced sideways at her younger companion, she blinked at the question. The robot girl had beat her to answering that, so she was actually unsure of saying anything.

@silver_winged@leafpeltAfter a moment, she parted her lips reluctantly."A... Aizel... Tylk." she mumbled, barely coherently and shifted slightly, eyes still trained at the young girl. She looked no older than 15, maybe even younger but she possessed maturity for her age. She was gentle and seemed caring. She was probably innocent as well, having not tasted the bitter side of the world. She radiated warmth and through the pain that coursed through her body, she acknowledged how she felt slightly safer with her around.The curly head, on the other hand,... her every move and word, and especially her eyes gave out brutal nonchalancy, coldness that pierced through one's soul. She was non-caring as if she hadn't just shot someone's foot off. Despite that, Aizel found herself intrigued by the girl's twisted morality. In her eyes, lying was the end of the world and shooting at her wasn't that big of a deal. The only thing that stopped her from throwing a scolding fit at the girl, was the help she'd been given. Despite being rude and unmannered, the girl now tended to her wounds. She knew that the stranger probably would never voice out an apology (she probably wasn't the one to apologize often) so she took the helping hands as a kind of silent 'sorry'.What truly surprised her was that the girls were complete opposites and even despite that, they seemed to be friends....

@jupiter_hollow @silver_wingedFrost tied the bandage on Aizel's foot. "There, that's taken care of,"she said. She looked at Margot."Can I have some of that antiseptic too?"She looked at the girl full in the face for the first time. Aizel seemed scared, but also intrigued,-was that it?-by something.Then Frost stood up and her icy-blue eyes hardened. "You need to know that this world is crueler than Margot. Shooting at your foot is nothing compared to them. Now, I'm asking you, are you with Loki or not?"Frost took out her clip and held on, just in case.

@leafpelt @silver_wingedThis is Jupe's side. XPAn amused eyebrow shot up to her forehead at that comment. She blinked in confusion. She wondered whether the girl had honestly thought that she didn't know that? Did she think that Aizel hadn't had her share of cruelness. She couldn't help but chuckle. "Do you honestly think I don't know that? Life is crueller than Margot... Yeah, I think I know that. I make my living by fighting, which isn't exactly the fairest of jobs and let me tell you, today ain't my day." she snipped slightly, an angry expression settled on her face. She didn't like being lectured, especially by kids. She sighed, calming herself down and looking at her foot. The girl had done a pretty good job, she had to admit that, but decided not to say anything."And about the Loki guy." she remembered the girl's last question. "I actually don't give a darn about what happens to him." she stated simply, blank expression plastered to her face.
leafpelt • 10 June 2012 at 12:31 PM
@aizel @silver_winged"Well then, next time you see shadows moving in a building, don't go up. We've all should have learned that, at least."Frost snapped back. "If you're not with Loki, then what are you doing around here? After all, unless you're running in the streets at night like I was, shouldn't you be working?"Frost was personally ticked off. Can't she lecture someon without be treated like a kid? She tried to calm down. "Ok, I just want to know what are you doing here. If you just answer that, I'm pretty sure that Margot or I won't shoot you." She took a step back and looked at Aizel. "Well?"Frost said again."It's your call."

@leafpelt@silver_wingedA sigh followed shortly after and a chuckle escaped her lips. The girl definitelly had some wits and guts, she agreed to that. Maybe she wasn't thatmuch of a kid after all. She smirked. "I was fighting. I don't work, I make my living from fighting, I just told you that. And you weren't overly carefull either so we're on the same page." she let out a deep breath and scratched the back of her head, sitting up and looking at the bandage again. She had no desire to argue anymore, the conversation was simply tiring. Bikkering with the girl made absolutely no sense, she realised that. She herself was speaking jibberish now. She sighed. "And like I said before, haven't you thought that I wasn't an assasin who's bent on killing your guts? You know, ... just wondering..." she ended in a whisper. "I was going to spend the night here, that's all."
leafpelt • 10 June 2012 at 1:10 PM
@aizel @silver_wingedFrost was exasperated. "Well, when you're trying to stay in a safe place, going to a place where people are already in there isn't exactly wise.."she muttered. Then she looked at Aizel. "Since we're here anyways, you might as well stay with us.Let's just hope none of Loki's heard all this commotion." Frost bent down and reached for some bandages. The wound was still swelling, but it wasn't as bad as before. She winced and bit back a scream as the antiseptic hit the gash, and then bandaged it up."I'm tired of running away from Loki, Aizel. You can join us, or leave." Frost continued. She asked Margot, "Should we tell her?"
jupiter_hollow • 10 June 2012 at 1:30 PM
@leafpelt@silver_wingedAizel sighed. The conversation deifintelly wasn't going anywhere. It couldn't be called a conversation. It seemed like the two of them were speaing of absolutely different things, yet trying to understand each other. She let out a huff. "I didn't know you were here. I randomly saw you when I was climbing up the stairs." she explained simply, hoping that the girl would cease with her accusing. The urge to roll her eyes was overwhelming but she assumed that would cause more bikkering and whining. A though flashed through her mind and she glanced sideways at the open window. The explosion from earlier had been destructive enough to have been heard and seeing how the building was extremely close to the battered areas, she was quite surprised that the strange albino girl had spared this little office building. I did make sense, however, that she attacked only the populated flats and houses around, where she could watch the injured and trapped struggle for their life. She brushed the thoughts away and returned her gaze back to the two. "Speaking of Loki's, were you outside when the explosion happened?" she asked absent mindedly, pretending to have not heard the last question, meant for Margot. She wanted nothing to do with whatever they knew, probably about Loki or his minions. She'd had enough commotion for one day and had no desire to get involved in more.
skylark • 10 June 2012 at 1:34 PM
@bunnyshadowAndrew fought, honing his skills for a couple of hours. After that, he went to his clean room and slept of exhaustion; a dreamless sleep.
leafpelt • 10 June 2012 at 1:39 PM
@jupiter_hollow @silver_wingedGet on...D8~~~~"No." Frost replied. "Have you seen a girl with a black sword?" she asked back. Outside, buildings were still smoking. Frost wanted to stop talking and move on, maybe attack some minions without getting caught.In other words, she was sick of this building. "Do you have any other abilities, besides that gun you have?"she continued. Everyone seemed tattered and worn out, so she took out a can of food and gave one to Aizel. "Might as well eat,"Frost continued. The sun was rising up, almost directly in the top, like it was noon.
bunnyshadow • 10 June 2012 at 1:47 PM
@skylark 5 sentences~ xD@jupiter_hollow@asi@leafpelt@silver_winged~~~Sylvia sighed. She finished cleaning her room and put on some clean clothing, before picking up her sword. She went to the bathroom and cleaned the dust and dirt off of it, before again tieing it by her side.She looked at the mirror above the sink, and adjusted her clothing and hair. After that, she opened the door out of her room and into the hallway. Wordlessly, she started the walk towards the front door. Sylvia twirled a few long strands of her hair boredly as she headed down the stairs and out the door.It was near sunset, and the orange rays of the sun reflected off the buildings and trees.
jupiter_hollow • 10 June 2012 at 1:50 PM
@leafpelt@silver_winged you on!!! XPAzel gave a curt nod. That person with the sstrange sword and the superpowers seemed to have attacked people on a daily basis. She was sure she'd never forget the cold, vicious look in the dark green eyes. It sent slight chills down her back. "She attacked me, don't know why but she seemed to have some super power mumbo jumbo." she muttered under her beath and tucked a strand of har behind her ear. She scratched the back of her head for the umpthieth time that day and looked at the girl with an awkward expression. She felt a little odd, being the only one without powers around. She shook her head. "No... not really. Just the gun and a set of good for nothing muscles." she chukled awkwardly, flashing a silly smile. As her gaze fell on the can of rice, her eyes lit up and widened, mouth falling open. "Food!!!" she exclaimed, excitedly recieving the can from Frost and momentarily opening it. She didn't bother to search for a spoon, mainly because she doubted there were any utensils in the building, so she stright forward 'drank' from the can.
bunnyshadow • 10 June 2012 at 2:09 PM
@jupiter_hollow@leafpelt@inkstep@meixiaotian@asi~~~Sylvia walked through the streets, keeping an careful eye on the humans. Usually she got a lot of dirty looks from the more rebellious of the humans, but today, they seemed to be smiling to themselves. She tapped the hilt of her sword suspiciously, but shrugged it off."Maybe they're just in an obsessively good mood...", she muttered to herself. Sylvia was nearing the edge of the ruins of abandoned buildings that even the homeless humans didn't use anymore. There were less people around and the sun was lowering itself behind the horizon. It was getting darker by the seconds that ticked by.
leafpelt • 10 June 2012 at 2:10 PM
@jupiter_hollow @silver_winged"She's not the only one who has those powers,"Frost said hesitantly. Frost opened a can of fruit. She wasn't sure that Aizel could be trusted, even though she didn't seem like a threat. "You're not the only one without powers," she continued. "I only have a morphable clip." "Also, that person who attacked you? You met Loki's daughter, Sylvia. It's best if you start hiding. She's hunting us too, but.."Frost trailed off because she was saying too much.
jupiter_hollow • 10 June 2012 at 2:36 PM
@leafpelt@silver_wingedAizel optimistically munched on the rice, chewing with delight and as the girl proceeded talking, she angled ehr head so she was glancing at her sideways. "Hrm... she dojun't wook like much. She'sh weak" Aizel replied with her mouth full. The rice tasted heavenly after a week without food. Her energy was quickly restored and she even felt the sting in her foot go numb slightly. "That;s delicious. Got more?" she asked with enthusiasm, holding up the emptied can and licking her lips with a satisfied smile. "Gosh, I could eat for days!" she chuckled.
bunnyshadow • 10 June 2012 at 3:04 PM
@leafpelt @jupiter_hollow~~~Suddenly, Sylvia was grabbed from behind by a pair of arms. She was pushed into a wall, and she looked around to see a group of men. Humans. They were all armed with either knives or an occasional gun. Sylvia looked around at the circle of humans, panic flaring in her eyes. "What do you want?", she said in a steady voice, although a few of the words trembled.A man with an eye patch stepped up. (No it's not Nick Fury xD) He seemed slightly amused at Sylvia's question. "Is it not obvious?", he said in a steely voice. "We want what everybody wants. We want you and your father dead.", he hissed. The man was holding a gun, and it was trained on Sylvia's head. He was stepping closer, and his finger was twitching on the trigger.Sylvia bit her lip and attempted to step to the right. She was blocked off by a young man holding an serated knife. Suddenly, she felt something hit the back of her head and she blacked out.
leafpelt • 10 June 2012 at 3:07 PM
@jupiter_hollow @silver_winged@bunnyshadow~~~"She's nasty when she needs to be." Frost said absently. She passed another can of rice to Aizel. "Don't eat too much; we have to save some for later." There was a commotion outside. Frost looked out. A man with an eye patch was attacking a girl. Frost couldn't see the girl clearly, but she was hit in the back of her head and collapsed. "Look," she said to Aizel and Margot. "There's something going on outside."
bunnyshadow • 10 June 2012 at 3:24 PM
@leafpelt @jupiter_hollow~~~The man ordered the rest of the group to set camp near the abandoned building. It was nothing than a rotten shell, but provided enough cover for hiding. ANd they could easily spot any chitauri troops that could be looking for them.He picked Sylvia up and threw her into the corner of the building then bound and gagged her.
silver_winged • 10 June 2012 at 4:02 PM
@jupiter_hollow @leafpeltPurposefully ignoring Frost's quip, Margot rocked back onto her heels and held the dark-haired girl's leg down as Frost did the bandage. Thankfully, she didn't strain too much, and the whole thing was over with quickly. The biggest worry Margot could identify was how the bones were going to grow back. What the girl really needed was a brace or a cast, but there was nothing like that out here."Not hungry," Margot murmured, lifting a hand as Frost offered food to her. In truth, she was accustomed to two meals a day; it gave her thirty extra minutes in the morning to sleep after a long night of scavenging. "You can give mine to Aizel."After supervising Frost's treatment of her own wound, Margot took the rubbing alcohol back and placed it into her bag.For the most part, Margot stayed out of the conversation between the two of them, instead quietly listening. Aizel was a strange girl, in her opinion. She had a small build and a face that was potentially cute, but made her living by street fighting. She was dramatic and even a little frivolous, but she was still alive--that had to count for something. -c
spiral • 10 June 2012 at 4:03 PM
Margot glanced out the window at Frost's instruction, frowning slightly as she did so. The men didn't look like trained soldiers--they were some ragtag bunch, probably skipping out on factory work to pursue this scheme. The girl they were brutalizing seemed oddly familiar . . . Then, it clicked. Margot took a step back from the window, laughing in disbelief. "That's Loki's kid," she said through an entirely inappropriate grin
leafpelt • 10 June 2012 at 4:11 PM
@jupiter_hollow @silver_winged @spirl @aizel @bunnyshadow~~~~~"Sylvia?" Frost muttered. She deserved it, of course, but still, Sylvia was here? "Margot, we have to go," she said out loud. "If Sylvia comes up here, we're screwed." Then, she looked at Aizel. Her bandage was starting bleed through. "Should she come with us?"she muttered to Margot.
silver_winged • 10 June 2012 at 4:22 PM
@leafpelt @jupiter_hollow"I don't think she's going anywhere any time soon," Margot chuckled, looking out the window once more. The men had dragged Sylvia's body, which looked entirely unconscious, into their base. "But yeah, we should probably get out of here. There'll be a search party after her soon," she admitted, crossing the room to pick up her bag.She bit her lip, hesitating for a moment with the bag's strap in her hand. With her broken foot, Aizel would be a hindrance. However, it wouldn't be right to leave a wounded runaway to the Chitauri. Margot would at least ensure that they dropped her off somewhere safe. "She can come with us for now," she murmured lowly to Frost, nodding once in confirmation. With an easy swing, she brought the bag over her shoulder. Just then she heard a clatter on the floor--something had fallen out. She stooped and swiped it up, examining the object.It was the odd box that she's found earlier, with the dead arm. Under better light, it seemed to be some kind of camcorder. Its viewing screen was glowing blue, like dropping it had accidentally turned it on. Curiously, Margot searched for and then selected the "Play" button.
meixiaotian • 10 June 2012 at 4:29 PM
Pyra walked past a collection of rocks. The terrain under her feet was rocky, slightly unstable. She picked up a small stone and strode back to her tree. Almost a whole day had passed since the explosion. She had shoved it into the back of her mind. There was no reason to fret about it. It had stopped, after all. Okay, she was thinking about what could've happened during the day, but it wasn't going to destroy the world.She hopped back up to her platform. She plopped the stone next to the stick. It was quiet. She lay back and stared at the darkening sky. Maybe something interesting would happen again. She'd still not go in. Maybe she'd leave to go deeper, or even move to a different place. To a different "state," as they were called back so long ago.She picked up the book she had found earlier that day, in a junk pile. It was about different mythologies. Greek/Roman, Chinese, Norse, Egyptian, etc. Myths are fun, she thought. They aren't true. Books weren't worth much, they rarely help survival, but they were one of the things she could do in her spare time.Pyra looked back towards the city. Curiosity swarmed her mind. Maybe, just maybe, she could go into-NO! Why not? There was no reason to get caught... Fine. She scowled at herself. She grabbed her stone and hopped down to the ground.
bunnyshadow • 10 June 2012 at 6:47 PM
#ImportantPost#PayAttention~~~The video diary screen lit up, and a man sat in front of the camera. He seemed to be fixing it, and it was being shaken side by side as his hands pushed buttons. He turned around and said something to a man in a lab coat. The lab coat man was writing in a clipboard with his back turned. The man in front of the camera pulled back his hands and sat at a desk. The room was clean, and a small window showed the outside world. It was bright and sunny, and clouds drifted in and out of view. He was in an hovercraft. Suddenly, everything went black and the man cursed."[yeep] Banter! How do you use this thing?", he said. There was a sharp click and the screen showed the scene again. The man in the lab coat was in front of the camera. "Tony Stark, you are truly, very, very slow. I don't think having an iron bucket over your head almost all day is good for you.", the man, Banter replied.The camera was fixed, and Tony Stark replied, but to the camera. "Hello there ladies and gentlemen from the future. I am Tony Stark, and this is Day 1 of my video diary...." He trailed off as a women's voice sounded. "Stark, you finally figured out how to use the camera?", she said.
nightmare • 10 June 2012 at 6:59 PM
Tony rolled his eyes to someone behind the camera. "Whatever Natasha." He turned back to the camera and said something with a slight smirk. "This is Day 1, and I hate my job already." ---Sylvia could faintly feel herself being dragged away. When she came to, she was bound and gagged and in the corner of a dark room. The men seemed to be sleeping, except for a few that were standing guard outside. She struggled and realized her sword was gone. She examined the room, and found it sticking out of a dusty cabinet.Sylvia growled to herself, and looked around to make sure none of the guards were around. She tried to conjure up a bit of flame... Something... Anything to help her out. She concentrated on the wooden floorboards, but nothing appeared.After a while, it dawned to her. I must be drugged..., she thought.
meixiaotian • 10 June 2012 at 7:03 PM
Pyra strolled over to a junk pile. Something copper shimmered in the corner of her eye. It was a rusted knife. She grabbed it. Just in case. She saw some people guys near a building. They seemed to be guarding something... She shifted her view and saw someone bound in the corner. What were they doing? She heard something from the other building nearby. Something quiet. She sighed. She couldn't stalk over there. Could she? Maybe just a peek...
bunnyshadow • 10 June 2012 at 7:06 PM
@meixiaotian~~~Sylvia looked out again, this time seeing a girl near the junk pile. She seemed to be picking something up and then she turned to look at the abandoned building across the street. Sylvia still didn't make any attempt to run or scream, but she was begining to panic. There must be something she could do... These were Humans for god's sake!
skylark • 10 June 2012 at 8:38 PM
@bunnyshadow @mexiaotianAndrew awoke again, but it was midnight. He blinked, and sat up. The house was dead, except for the occasional ailen-thingy cleaning something. Looking out the window, he wondered why he woke, at the peak of the night. Quietly slipping outside of his room, he went outside and nodded to the guards who were standing there, alert. "I'll be back soon." They nodded, seemingly afraid of him. Andrew smirked privately, happy that he was a threat to them and they couldn't take him down. He walked down the long courtyard and exited the second gate with even more guards. "I'll be back, may need some enforcement." They nodded again, watching their backs. Andrew turned to the centre of the city and started running, really fast. The suit that gave him strength and power skimmed smoothly over the pavement. He suddenly leaped forward and jumped really high, sailing into the sky. Before gravity pulled him down again, he just floated for a couple of seconds. Landing with a crush of the concrete below him, the bounce-back sprung him into the air again and he did this for a while. His jumps got smaller as the buildings got closer and taller, and he wasn't breaking the ground anymore. Things were eerily quiet.
bunnyshadow • 10 June 2012 at 8:41 PM
@skylark~~~Sylvia slowly pushed herself up into standing position using the wall behind her. It seemed all the men were asleep, except for one or two sitting in the entrance ways talking and smoking cigars.Sylvia cursed herself for being so careless, and again tried using her powers. Nothing happened except a small amount of smoke that drifted from where her hands were tied behind her back.
skylark • 10 June 2012 at 8:55 PM
Andrew slowed to a silent walk, and stole around the corner to the more deserted and destroyed buildings. A couple streams of black smoke still drifted from the buildings from the earlier explosions.Andrew squinted his eyes, and gasped. Two of the smaller smoke trails from further away were lighter in colour. And there was a third one, white in colour. The smallest smoke trail Andrew ever saw in his life, and he knew exactly who it was. "Crud, Sylvia. How?"Andrew inhaled quickly, figuring out the most rational scenario she was in. "Please, for the sake of your life, stay bloody quiet." He hissed, even though he knew she couldn't hear him.@bunnyshadow
