Advent City: Rebound, What everyone else is doing

[RentCavalier]

Thunk!

Thunk!

Thunk!

The sounds of construction, the hustle and bustle of workers running back and forth, the sounds of formen yelling out orders and directions to their various workers.

The main square was mostly devoid of corpses or rubble, and many gathered there to gather gossip or meet and greet.

I wonder what kind of characters would show up today...?

[Matar]

Jinn eye's opened to the loud sounds of construction, he yawned loudly before he grabed his throbing head.

"Damn hang-over. I can find a fucking gold bar while walking to the shitter but I still get hang-overs..."

Jinn looked around in confusion.

"W-were the hell am I?"

Jinn sighed as he walked to the square, squinting at the light and rubbing his temple all the way there.

"Hey dude" Jinn said as he tapped some random man on the shoulder.

"I'm kinda out of it, what's going on?"

[Mellexo]

"Hey whats going on." Mellexo saw a bunch of people standing around conversing with each other. "What are they all looking at.

Mellexo got closer and saw what all the fuss was about. Contruction workers were pushing wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow rubble out of the way. Men in white suits were taking away bodies on stretchers, and putting them in body bags.

"Oh my gosh!" Mellexo broke into the crowd to get a better view, and he could see even more. he backed away from the crowd and walked along the group of people. eventually he went to to teenagers and asked what was goin on. Nobody seemed to know, but Mellexo could sense it was something bad and he ran off searching for someone who new what was goin on.

Yuri couldn't care less about the buzz going on. He had his full of dead people for now and was cutting across the square intent on putting as much space as he could between himself and Mama Rose. A useless tactic, but hell, he wasn't about to turn around and head back now that he'd gotten so far away.

He was sick of all the reassuring words from her family and friends. 'Such a tragedy, but she was old', 'she lived a good life and I'm sure she'd be happy that you got better so quickly', 'Bless your little heart boy, you've got to cheer up though, Rose wouldn't want to see you so down.' It never seemed to end.

If only he had a cigarette now, that'd take his mind off the wake for a little bit. He should have bummed one from Dimitri before he trotted off.

Then he felt a hand on his shoulder, heard a voice. Hello distraction! Yuri turned to get a better look at the man and frowned a little at his question. Come to think of it... what was going on?

He looked around before focusing back on the man that tapped him. "Hell if I know, I was just passing through here. Got a bit of a one-track mind," he pulled a hand from his pocket and pointed at his head, grinning widely. "There's gotta be somebody here that knows, and they if they don't there's always the news. Personally I think they're a bunch of morons but, what they know about this is probably more than both of us together."

[Mellexo]

"We dont know whats goin on." A fat guy standing next to me said. "Aww well you guys are some help." Then i ran off. "I'll ask my neighbor paul he should no whats going on, he knows about everything.

I kept running until i was nearly ran over by an ambulance that was speeding by.
"Hey watch where you're going!!!"

I continued to run until i came to Paul's door, i went to knock on it but as soon as i touched it , it slowly opened. The room was dark; i tried to flip on the lights, but somedbody disconnected the electricity, but i didnt need electricity i could see well enough with the light from the window, Paul was sitting on the floor with a steak "Noo!!" I turned and i didnt look back, something seriously bad was about to happen in Advent City.

Rhyn walked around the corner of an Advent city street when he saw the gain mass of people. He looked at them for a second and then at all the rubble. He ran over to the crowd, almost tripping on a rock, and stood there blocked out by everyone.

Rhyn tried to squeeze threw a few people but was pushed right back out by a big biker dude. Rhyn fell back on his butt, as a sharp pain shot threw his spine. He got up, holding his back, and pushing his hair out of his face.

He walked around the crowd trying to find an opening to squeeze threw. He wanted to see what caused the commotion. Finally after walking around the crowd he found an gap void of people. Ther Rhyn saw what had happened. Dead corpes beiing pushed by workers contruction and limp bodies being carried off to the ambulances.

It wasn't the first time Rhyn had seen a dead body but he had never seen a whole bunch of them, bleeding an mangled, before. His stomach clenched and his face went pale. Rhyn ran around the street corner an puked. He wipped his mouth before returning to the scene.

[ZenMasterWalrus]

In the centre of the commotion a large pile of rubble had begun shifting. Unnoticed at first, heads were soon turning as the debris was pushed aside by something emerging from beneath.

A massive armored gauntlet burst from the pile, shortly followed by an arm as the rubble was slowly displaced. Finally, the entombed being broke free, struggling to it's feet to lean on a huge sword.

The thing was nearly 14 feet tall, completely covered in the softly glowing armor. It's body was strangely shaped- beautiful and graceful looking, but clearly not human.

Though the armour appeared to be unmarred, the being seemed weak, struggling to remain standing and making only slight, jerky movements.

[Matar]

Jinn looked at the strange... thing with slight interest. He slowly walked up to, his tough bare feet steping on the debree. He stood about a foot away from the creature with no fear in his eye, was he brave, foolish, or just very stupied you may never know.

"Yo dude." Jinn said "Do you, like, need some help or something? I have a hang-out we could go to... if you promise not to like... KILL ME!"

Jinn finsihed his sentice by waving his arms around... for some reason or anther... and then picked a dollor in front of him that someone must have droped.

[RentCavalier]

Malcolm Synextra watched the angel bursting from the rubble with interest, his calculating eyes scrutinizing the creature. Odd...why was it under that rubble? And why hadn't he known it was...

No matter. It knew nothing of importance. Let it do what it will. He'd stop it if it caused any trouble.

Leaning back on the wooden chair he occupied, atop a high balcony on one of the surviving mansions, he could survey most of the reconstruction. SO far, everything was going ahead of schedule.

Without Cuathemoc around, it all seemed so much quieter...

[Matar]

"Dude" Jinn said, squinting at the angel. "Are you like, made of armor of something? Or am I seriouly wacked?"

Jinn blinked and rubbed his hands against his eye's. He blinked a bit and looked back up at the man made of armor to see if he was just... really wacked.


I guess... it's not that shit I drank befrore I woke up. Wow man... Armor.. Jinn thought.

"Whatever man, You need help or not?"

[ZenMasterWalrus]

The armored head turned to face the confused mortal.

"I appreciate your kindness young one, but I do not wish to be burden upon you. My duty is to protect, not to be protected."

The voice was deep, with a strange reverberation making it quite pleasant- if odd, sounding. The being gave a small chuckle at the man's next question.

"Made of armour might not be the most appropriate description. I am a creature of divine light, and as such my form changes as willed by the almighty. However, it is true that I have remained in armour for nearly all of my existence, so perhaps what you say has some truth to it. I find it best not to worry about it."

Maybe that was a bit too deep for this human. He seemed a bit out of sorts. Ah, the mysteries of mortals.

While the angel was tempted to take him up on his offer (he felt so very weak), he must not inconvienence mortals unless strictly necessary. No, he would find somewhere else to rest.

"There is a way you could help me. What is this place? I don't recall having come here, and it has been many centuries since I last visited this realm."

[Matar]

"A being of light? So you like, an angel dude?"

Jinn scratches his head in... well you couldn't really tell.

"Eh whatever. Anyways, I have no clue were I am ether. I just... woke up here. Never been in this part of town. Last I slept was in the Cathedral of Light. I snuke in so I could get some sleep... And woke up in this part of town. I could probly take you to the place just by picking a direction and walking. I get... lucky like that."

[Mellexo]

I didnt have a real direction in which i was running in, until I heard a lot of shrieks, ooo's, and aww's from the crowd around the constructiong site

"Oh great!!..What now?" I really didnt wanted to after see my long time neighbor dead, but I proceeded to the crowd anyway.

As i got closer i began to shout

"Hey whats goin on no-" I stopped dead in my tracks and stared up with a blank face. There was 14 ft.......thing made out of armour, leaning on really big sword standing in the middle of the Construction site.

"Alright enough fooling around!! I want some answers!!" So then i took out my shotgun that father used while he was serving in the military and i jumped over the crowd to where a man was standing in front of the thing, for what seemed like he was having a conversation?

[Matar]

Jinn waved his hand in greeting though he did not look at the man.

"Hold up a sec dude. Were talking here. T-O-H-L-C-E-N-G. Talking. Now hold the hell up."

Jinn lowered his hand and focused his rather small attention on the really tall Angel.

[GhostWalker]

Rhyn watched as the Amor being shot out of the ground. His mouth hung open at the sight of how tall it was. Two people walked to te suit of amor, one looking completly out of it, and the other holding a shotgun.

Rhyn walked over to the man wielding the shotgun and lowered it with his hands, looking a little sceptical of his decision.

"Hey, I dont think that all to necissary. All you need to do is ask whats happening. There is no need to act like that.

Rhyn looked up at the 14 foot tall thing.

"Wow."
