Perhaps you are one of the lucky ones. In this town marked by closeness and friendship, with neighborly trust, hope is insufficient. It slips through your fingers just as quickly as you can grasp at it. Do you not believe me? Look around! Where are the pure and the innocent? Who among you can claim to have a just heart, a fair soul, a clean conscience? [center][color=red][i]You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.[/i][/color][/center] Are you any different from the Prince of Darkness? Is the one you fear, the one you call [i]monster[/i], is he not just a reflection of yourself? Amidst of this bloodshed, stop a moment and consider who you blame. How many lives has the devil claimed? How many lives have you claimed? The answer is unsettling, but do not fear! It has always been meant to be this way, right? It's always been a part of the ineffable plan... Hasn't it? Doesn't everything intersect like a spiderweb? Burning buildings and angel blades and snarky doctors--are they not just pawns being moved in a game of chess, one that we all know how it will end? What is surprising? What is there to be afraid of, if we have already read the final chapter? Why is it we continue to fight? Why not just...[i]give in?[/i] [@BlueSky44]: Well. LLA rolled a 5 on your six-sided die. Trevor's die will do the same. However, he'll have heard the gunshots from the store nearby. The sounds of violence aren't stopping much just yet, it's enough to make anyone curious. Maybe he could phone the police? That's a good idea, right? Or perhaps the national guard? The FBI? There's CIA in town isn't there? Who knows what to do! Better think of something though, Trevor'll be getting more nervous the longer he stays in the shop... [@Witch Cat]: [color=009999]"Does fiery extermination bother you?"[/color] Mercurial asks rather pointedly. Her gaze is unwavering, hawkish almost, as she stares down Eudora. Eudora may feel an almost unusual combination radiating nearby--if she focuses her inner eye, so to speak, she'll get an image of the Church. Some people of considerable magical talent are gathering there. Mercurial, however, won't move an inch until she has her answer. [color=009999]"It is misfortunate if it does. It's a noble death for witches, the stake. My great-aunt Calpurnia was burned alive for her acts."[/color] [@Pundii] [@Lady Amalthea]: Aloise's patience is starting to run a bit thin. If it wasn't for the fact that Satan could easily swoop in and put Amy in an immense lifetime of pain, along with the rest of the world, she would have just left. [color=00ffcc]"But that's just it....You're bait already,"[/color] Aloise tried to explain. [color=00ffcc]"Just depends if you want to be swallowed up by the fish, or have the thing gutted before it can gut you."[/color] Hanson, meanwhile, looked more than [i]a bit[/i] uncomfortable as Belladonna and Javier entered the room. His eyes darted all around. [color=ffcc66]"Mrs. Crypt...Javier...What brings you two here?"[/color] [@Pundii]: [color=339933]"So....We're going to go look for some bloody [i]stiffs[/i]?"[/color] Jade asked, blinking a bit in clarification. The entire prospect seemed a bit far fetched to her, but she shrugged and headed out of the prison, keeping her gun ready. The lights are still flickering, but there doesn't seem to be anyone around. As for where reapers could be, Darren missed the small window of oppurtonity with Jacen. Perhaps they should try somewhere where a lot of people died? Could still be one hanging around....Hang on, is that...smoke? Looks like it's coming from the town proper. [@Witch Cat] [@Nallore] [@BlueSky44]: Yeah, so this happened....After that beautiful build up from Sylvia and Sera, where it seemed like they'd finally be able to save the day and save themselves, Sylvia's blade fell short. Her strength wasn't enough to drive it home, and instead of stabbing him, she more or less pushed the man over. Losing his balance, he fell backwards, and [i]through the bloody wall.[/i] Seems the store next door was Trevor's. Funny how that works out, right? Anyways, he's more pissed than ever, and currently trying to get himself up off of the floor of the game store.
