Vegas gave two off the bloodfilled ampules to Dez, "i'll do the right corners, you take the left." Dez nodded "See you on the other side." he said and took off. Vegas broke the first ampule, on the corner. The thick blood splatterd everywhere. This was a stupid idea, this close to the theater we'll attract the wolves. She looked over to the theater, not knowing if some Fallen were still alive. She shook the feeling of beeing watched away. What ever could happen, she was sure they could handle it. She quickly ran over to the last corner and broke the second ampule. She saw dez running towards her. "Done." "Me too." Lets see if that trucks works. They quickly ran over to the truck. Dez jumped on the truck, covering Vegas while she searched for the keys. "Why am i never lucky?" she muttered as she removed the pannel and tried to hotwire the car. "Vegas?" She heard her fellow hunter ask. "just a moment Dez." Dez looked up to the appartment a torch flashing on and off flickered towards him. "How about now." he asked while the air became filled with ear deafening sound of frenzied howls. The only response Dez got, was a waterfall of curses.

...Have to admit I'm a bit confused as to why Vegas is attempting to hot wire the truck...I thought it was a new truck and running just fine... ...everything else here is good. though..

@ Nachos...To date,several of your past post (in various threads) have resulted in soda/beer/water (and in one case bits of burrito) leaving my mouth at a high rate of speed and ending up on either my keyboard or my desk...thus far I've suffered no equipment malfunctions,and would never in a million years blame you anyway...no harm,no foul...I just have to be careful about drinking/eating when reading your post,as you seem to have a "gift" for making me crack up.

Well, the city is riddled in riots, so the guy with the keys wouldn't be around. And if i'm not mistaken if your stealing a car without keys, you hotwire the car. (Not sure don't know anything about cars, i'm just using movie knowledge. Wich we all know we can trust one hundred procent.)

...But?...why is she stealing a truck?...I'm totally confused..
I was under the impresion that the Hunters had gone to Vegas estate..that the vehicles vehicles they had left the theater in were blown up by Suzie and her Bikers,and that the Hunters had then returned to the area around the theater in new vehicles...or did I completely miss something???

BTW, "Hot Wiring" cars is harder than movies make out,at least in new model vehicles which have a multitude of "anti-theft" systems...
Older Vehicles however are quiet easy to start with out keys," Hot Wiring" is one way,but a much quicker method is to simply shatter the key guard/ignition housing (the place were you insert the key to start the car),insert a screwdriver into the ignition and twist.

ooh, i tought that the exploding vans were the new vans.... I'll edit...

And also .... the last part is very interessting -shifty eyes-

edit: the other edit is done

...Cool..

Just have to see if ghosty or Larkin (or both) plan to get in on this event and then I'll be writing up the intro to kick the event off.

Andy felt something poking him in the leg and reached into his pockets to find out what it was. He reached in and felt a metallic ring and pulled it out, the keys attached to it jingled as he wondered how he got the keys in his pocket.

... ...Andy's going to have to make the longest key toss in the history of key tosses..

..OK, got to get back to the meat grinder...I really hope everyone has their pre event RPs posted by the time I get home as I really want to get the event up and running tonight.

Sorry, really swamped. Honestly can't get anything written until maybe 10ish...

Sorry for the inconveniences.

As the rest of the guys rested in the shop Isaac and Suzie slipped down into the sewers.
So remind me, why exactly are we going down here?
I wanted to pay one final visit to our old lair, I never got ot pay my final respects to him, and we both miss him so much.
Aye you're right there
Half an hour later......
well here it is
I don't remember it being so messy, I mena it is a sewer but it was still relatively tidy...
Some feth heads been searching the through his papers look, they're all over the place.
Hey this one just fell out of a journal, it looks like his handwriting...

Yeah,Nachos post are quite dangerous ...along with saturating my keyboard with beer ..I've also laughed so hard I've choked once or twice..

As for my Missus,yeah...I consider myself very lucky... ..she not only likes slaanesh...she's been eyeing some of the new Dark Eldar minis as well.

...Now,concerning your last RP...good stuff...but can I get a translation?....also...do you plan to get in on the Event between the Hunters and the Wolves?

@ ghosty...

It's all good man...I can defianitely understand being swamped..fortunetly for me I snuck out of work early today.

10ish ( whatever time that is for me here on the other side of the ocean) will be fine.

Just because I want to re-introduce this element back into the RP...

...It was in agony..charred and scorched,the creature had been kept in a cage below the theater until the one called Pontius had gone,it had then been released into the hellish chaos of the city.
It had stalked the streets among others of it's kind...most of which had perished,it had fed uncontrolably on whatever it encountered ...both animal and human,feeling both elated and repulsed by it's actions..

Somewhere in the recesses of the creatures memory,one desire had begin to take form " My Brother"...it had thought,abandoning it's fellow's to wander the streets on it's own...drawn instictualy towards the idea of "Home"..
In the night the creature encoutered one of it's own..one that was infinantly more powerful...the creature knew the being who stood before him was an "ancient"...though he could not fully comprehend the meaning of the word..
The Ancient, a female of dark beauty,had glared at the creature with contempt...and the creature felt fear well up inside,sure that the Ancient godess would destroy him...instead she had entered a structure nearby..
The creature,filled with fear,had followed, dazzled by the Ancients seductive evil..it had pressed near the structure,peering through a window..watching as the Dark Ancient spoke with another female Vampire...
Though the creature couldn't understand what he was seeing..l he watched as the two figures fought..then the flames came...he saw the Dark Goddessfall into the inferno...

The creature had shrieked...it had rushed into the flames..not fully knowing why...but knowing the Goddess could not die...burning...it's form smouldering..the creature had found the Goddess...her form a blackened husk and drug her from the flames..

The creature had wailed in agony...it's own flesh seared by the flames..it had stared at the ruined ancient...her dark beauty burned away..the creature had carried her bellow the city streets...
" The Goddess must not die..." The creature repeated to itself..in excrutiating pain...it had hunted for the goddess...pouring the blood of the animals it captured into her mouth..soon the goddess stirred..and in fear...the creature had fled..

Through the night the creature had pressed on...it again came to the structure it had been taken from..." Home" it had whispered before slipping into the house..
Again it curled into a ball deep inside a bed room closet...in it's scorched hand it grasp a photo of two smiling men..." Ryan" it had whispered before it slipped painfully into slumber.

IC:

On the afternoon of the Blood Moon.

Dr Franklin rubbed his eyes. It had been a long twenty four hours, and several times he had pinched himself to confirm he was awake. But now, more than ever, he had to reaffirm his theory that he was asleep, and the fantastical sight before his eyes was not actually happening. He had been labouring over a patient that he had, less than twelve hours ago, found dead at the scene of a massacre. He had announced it himself. She had no pulse, and was as cold as a stone. And yet, she had got up again, and proceeded to get herself mauled by insane psychopaths roaming the city. And now, as he had operated on her, trying to fix the damage done, her flesh and organs had begun to writhe, knitting together without so much of a scar. Staples holding crudely her stomach tear open popped out as the skin healed over, and before his very eyes, a shattered rib, poking out just below her left breast slid back under the skin, cracking back into place. Franklin just stared as Hollies eyes flickered open, suddenly alert and awake, despite the heavy anaesthetic he had administered to her. Holly sat up, for the second time on a cold metal operating table, and looked warily around her surroundings. Wordlessly Dr Franklin handed her her clothes, completely dazed from what he had seen. Holly smiled briefly, and changed quickly. She then headed out to find Ryan...



Meanwhile...

Ryan stooped low and clambered back out of the Van stretching in the afternoon sun. Lisa had disappeared, probably heading back inside, and so, with the light of the sun, Ryan gazed at the picture again. There was no mistaking it, Holly and this...Sky were definitely related, probably close, like he was with...

A sharp stabbing pain erupted from between his ribs, and something that felt both freezing cold, and burning hot simultaneously slid in, grating against the bone with agonizing pain. Ryan fell to a knee, shaking uncontrollably, and began to find his breathing restricted. The unknown assailant had punctured a lung. Ryan turned his head slowly, unable to move and quicker, and looked into the eyes of the last person he would have expected. Lisa, the police women was standing above his kneeling form, her arm gripping something that glistened with his own blood. It was an ornate dagger, made from Silver. The weapon of the enemy was now in his chest, and he could feel its poison seeping into his body.

"What. Are. You?" Lisa growled, her determination to keep control driving her to extremes. Ryan opened his mouth to speak, but found no words left his lips. Lisa looked back down on Ryan with rising concern. He was a monster yes, she had seen that. But she had expected him to shrug of the injury as he had against the larvae. But the from in front of her, whose body was being racked with convulses seemed to be reacting badly. Whilst it was not visible on his exterior, Ryan was about to die. His heart was palpitating at an alarming rate, shuddering and skipping beats. His organs were beginning to shift, the pain in his body beginning the transformation from man to beast on the inside, but simultaneously, not on the outside. Abruptly, Ryans heart stopped. The blade slid back out the the entry wound with a grotesquely satisfying 'slick' noise. Part of the weapon tip had corroded away, its contact with the unholy flesh damaging the sanctified item. For seventeen seconds, he was dead. But then, as if fate was toying with him, he was brought back from the brink. His impressive, and hyper reactive immune system had kicked in, and the wound began to close, the silver within his bloodstream began to dilute, and drop to a barely noticeable level.His heart, hammering in his chest, grew. And the collapsed lung re inflated. Ryan got up from his hands and knees, noticing they were now paws and claws. Without realising, Ryan had transformed, the Silver throwing his body into a state of confusion. Whilst his mind registered himself as human, he was obviously a wolf. Ryan turned, claws drawn to face Lisa. But she was not there. Instead, Lisa was lying sprawled across the floor several metres away, unconscious, and what's more, Holly was standing over her, claws burst from her finger tips, eyes black as the night sky. Ryan changed back, the threat gone. Holly turned, and smiled weakly.

"Thanks for saving me. I dunno if she meant to do what she did, but if you hadn't withdrawn that knife a second later, I think I might have been too far gone." Ryan felt true appreciation, and in his mind, his mind was already made up on the matter of her sister. Instead of answering, Holly looked at her claws and frowned slightly.

"Blood. I just threw her, I didn't even..." Holly looked over to Lisa, and swore. Where Holly had grabbed the cop, were several deep gashes. Rivulets of blood began to seep down.

"Oh...crap." Ryan said, mouth agape.

"Ryan I didn't mean to, oh god, how can I fix this? What can I do?" Holly began to panic, almost to the point of hyperventilating. Ryan placed a reassuring arm on her shoulder, and drew her into a hug.

"All we can do now is be there for her when she wakes up. It'd be better than letting her run wild and get taken in by that other pack..." Ryans thoughts went back to how Natasha had offered up females as mere trinkets, and shuddered. "No, we'll be here for her, we'll help her through this. Only issue is tonight. It's full moon, and she'll go wild."

Holly nodded, her eyes wide and teary.

"Best we can do is keep her out of trouble, keep her away from hunters. Speaking of which, you had a sister, didn't you?"

Holly withdrew from the embrace, and looked up at Ryan with a slight frown. Defensively, she asked "How do you know?"

"Look, could you still remember what she smelt like? Weird question. Let me reiterate. The vampires here have been tracking someone called...Sky, I think your related." Ryan opened his palm to reveal the picture. Holly snatched it away, and stared, tears streaking down her cheeks. Neither said anything for an age, both standing in respectful silence. Ryan had no idea how Holly was taking the news, but had no desire to interject, and so he stood there, arms folded, awaiting a sign.

"Perfume."

"Hmm?"

"I smelt cheap perfume before. It reminded me of Sky when she was younger, same stuff she wore back then. I smelt it twice in the city. Once as a truck passed, and another time, another time a hunter tried to ambush us..."

Ryan nodded slightly. He remembered everything he had done as a feral, and remembered with clarity the moment when Holly had led Ryan away from the kill.

"Could you track it through the city?"

"I think so."

Ryan nodded, and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"We'll find her. Don't worry."

Lisa stirred.

OOC: Right, probably last one I can do for the time being. For events sake, come blood moon Ryan and Holly will be hitting the town with Lisa, trying to track down Vegas. Of course they may also stop to feed on people on the way, being full moon n' all, but they are moving with purpose.

BATTLE MUSIC!

@ ghosty...

Great stuff as always ..
One quick question..I'm assuming that Ryan,Holly and Lisa will be crossing paths with the Hunters and the other wolf pack yes?

Depends on you. If they manage to track down the hunters then yes. And where hunters are, there's werewolves.

ghosty wrote:Depends on you. If they manage to track down the hunters then yes. And where hunters are, there's werewolves.

Cool,then I have all the info I need to write up the event intro...which I will do a bit later tonight...stay tuned.

This event is going to be huge guys...a defianite multipart behemoth...and I can guarantee lots and lots of carnage.
That being said...off we go...

...The sun set over the smouldering city,and slowly the moon rose in the sky...
Miranda crossed herself and adjusted the sights on the riffle in her hands..."God be with us.." she whispered gazing towards the skyline where the full moon hung over a burning city..

" Keep it tight people!" Andy's voice crackled over the walkie talkie Rachel had slung on her pack,Miranda's face parted with a small smile...Bruss was becoming a leader...
Rachel lifted the walkie talkie and replied that she and Miranda were ready..Andy and Wendy had taken firing posistions in an adjacent room so as to cover the cross streets as well as the theater...while Smalls had taken a position above in the iron framework.

On the streets bellow,Dez and Vegas continued their patrol..scanning the surrounding area for any activity as they circled the block in the truck..." Haven't seen anything yet Andy" Vegas said into her radio..." Heard some howls earlier...but nothing on the streets..."

" Yeah...we heard them to" Andy replied..." They're out there...you can bet on it...keep your eyes open.."
" No gak" Vegas laughed as she turned the truck onto the road in front of the theater...

A long mournful howl rose in the air...

" Jesus wept." Dez muttered chambering a round in his weapon..." That was close.."
Vegas eyes fixed on the road before the truck..." Holy god" she said as a huge black shape rose before the vehicle it's fur glistening under the moonlight...it's fanged maw opening in a bloody snarl..
" Feth...they're here!!" Dez yelled as two more wolves rushed the truck from the rear ...moving rapidly on all fours...the creatures hit the truck like a wrecking ball knocking it askew...

" God damnit!!" Andy roared bringing his riffle to bear..." They're trying to get into the truck!!"...

Below, in the deserted lobby of the Empire Towers a mist like form drifted through the cracks in the sealed doors...it hovered mometarialy ...then slowly drifted towards the stairway...taking on a shadowy human form...

...Several miles away,a black SUV moved through the streets,inside a woman screamed...
" She's changing.." Holly said fixing Ryan with a desperate gaze...
Ryan glanced over his shoulder to the rear of the vehicle...the woman,Lisa,was drenched in sweat...her body trembling...her eyes locked with Ryan's..." What did you do to me!!?" she sceamed..
" Just try to hang on.." Ryan said to the woman,he gripped the steering wheel tighter and turned to Holly..." Your Sister...is she near..?"
Holly paused ...then nodded rolling down the window of the SUV..." Up ahead...not far..."
Another scent drifted through the window to Ryan...his eyes darkened..." There's something else up there as well..." he pressed down on the gas...the vehicle sped forward...
In the back seat Lisa's body began to contort.

...Ok folks...that's the opening act...everyone knows the drill...PM me with your character actions and anything else you feel will be nesacary for the next part of the event..

Oh, BTW...I know I sort of set everyone up in bad spots...but that's how climax's go...
and...just in case anyone was interested,Natasha,Amanda , Lukos and Davin have engaged in combat with two of the fallen inside the ruins of the theater...

Find Julia mater,
Tenet responsa petis,

mihi is 'mine' or something like that(as in "don't touch that, its mine")
Julia is a female name(of course) but thanks to the Roman traditions of naming females it is safe to say that her dad's name was Julius, mater means mother. Auxilium may have something to do with the word "auxilary" which means surplus and or help. Resurgere probably along the lines of resurgunce(renewal, rejuvenation), forte means loud or strongly. Tenet probably is the word "has" responsa is most likely response, petis is similar to petty. So

Find Julia's mom, have petty response. Est is the word "is". Avi is a 'goodbye' I think. Let's see what it actually translates as;

It is necessary to Prague
Is necessary to find,
You must kill the,

What rises falls
What to rise again by chance not slain

The monster will not escape

Find the mother of Julia,
, She takes up the responses you seek,
She may ask assistance,
As it is, it upheld me,
Avi

I was close about the mother part and asking for help I guess.

Not bad Nachos...

This is the translation Larkin PM'd me ....

the answers are in Prague,
We must go to Prague,
We must find him ,
We must slay him,

What rises falls,
Yet what has fallen may yet rise again

The monster must not escape


Find the mother of Julis,
She holds the answers you seek,
She will help when you ask,
As she has helped me,
My Grandsire

...So you were close.

The first part was my guesses, the second part was a free online translator. Not so bad for being free I guess. PM sent.

See Mordo, they just want to make out with Pontius, some sweet Menage a Troi action. Oh wait, they just want to make up... that makes seeing Pontius standing at the front door with a bath robe and some KY jelly rather awkward.

Hey guys,been insanely busy today...but did get a chance to read over all your PMs.

I've got some pretty interesting ideas on where things are going and as soon as I get home I'll be doing combat rolls and part 2 of the event...things are going to get brutal.
