[center][sup](in unchronological order from the above post.)[/sup] [h1][color=darkorange] KAESAR[/color][/h1][/center] [i]‘’Dusk! Hold up! You can’t just leave me here!’’[/i] Kaesar gives chase out of the cabin to grab Dusk by the shoulder. And Dusk turns to him. [i]‘’Kaesar… Listen, I know you have much to ask, but it will have to wait. I can orientate much better towards the Perpetuals of other people not yet in our group, if I am decently removed from people like yourself. People likewise with Perpetuals in their minds. I hope you understand.’’[/i] Dusk sighs. [i]‘’When I return, I will tell you everything that I presently know. But don’t raise your expectations up [b]too[/b] high, for I do not know much more than you do yourself. I’ll see you Thursday.’’[/i] Kaesar curses inwardly. [i]‘’Damn him. How [b]dares[/b] he bring me all the way out here in this shithole, and then not have the decency to take me along. I don’t like him with that smug façade of innocence. It’s obviously an act. He’s not [b]really[/b] this nice. Cunt.’’[/i] [color=darkorange][b]MAKE ALLIES.[/b][/color] A voice as a sudden and intense needle, piercing Kaesar's cognition from out of the great emptiness. [i]‘’Hrmm? You sayin’ something, Am?’’[/i] [color=darkorange][b]THE WAR WILL SOON BEGIN. PREPARE.[/b][/color] [i]‘’Soon? How soon are we speaking? …I guess I should get to know the other people in the cabin. Some of them looked pretty tough. Best is to figure out what their powers are.’’[/i] As Kaesar beheld Dusk fade into the distance, he slowly returned to the cabin. He saw Luci walk in before him. Kaesar did not know much of him. They had both been here for the past 2 or so days, but never really talked. Why? [i]‘’Because he’s a creep. The way how he toys with metal is downright freaky.’’[/i] Kaesar knows, in any case, that he is not the sort of guy he is looking for. Walking inside, he suddenly got a bottle thrown at him. It was Mirage -- just the guy he was looking for! Kaesar only barely managed to catch the bottle – the games of basketball he once played now seem to pay off. Instantly annoyed, Kaesar hisses at him. [i]‘’Careful there.’’[/i] Then, looking up at the rather imposing stature of Mirage, he proceeds to force a smile to form upon his lip. For surely it’s best to stay on his good side. [i]‘’…Thanks mate.’’[/i] He opens the bottle and takes a gulp of the refreshing contents therein. Gotta make a good first impression. He then casts a polite smile to Kasey, and attempts to do the same with Horus, except that he seems a little… unapproachable. And generally creepy and extremely nervous. Ergo; no true warrior. [color=4682B4][b]"Right, so what now?"[/b][/color] Mirage speaks. Ah. The only guy that seems competent. Kaesar replies. [i]‘’I’m curious to learn what all your powers are. But I won’t ask for demonstrations… yet. Could have [b]unpredictable[/b] consequences, I do believe. So I’ll go first. My ability? I can shoot lazers from my eyes. No joke. It’s why I need to wear sunglasses. It’s a serious problem. Already killed a few people by accident.’’ [/i] Kaesar blurts these words with the widest grin while tapping the dark glasses perched unto his nose. He lies – this is not his true power. He does not trust these people into knowing his actual ability. Who can say whether any of these will turn out to be his enemy one day? Kaesar proceeds to look around the group. [i]‘’How about y’all?’’[/i] [b][indent]...A few hours later; assuming Pup has not set the cabin on fire....[/indent][/b][hr] Night is falling – and with it an omen of darkness. The more observant & cautious among us might be able to make out faint noises coming from beyond the immediate bushes…
