Vanguard: Calder City

Oh yeah, Yulian was one of the few who had not eaten yet. I remember that list, and he is on it now.

Vanguard: Calder City

Finally got a post out after a good while of not posting.

Vanguard: Calder City

YULIAN

Old Rusty's Diner is not the most popular place in Calder City, but a classic diner that Yulian likes to visit on certain days. Which this day is one of these days. A break during his time moving around the city today and a good old stop to eat some food. Looking like a usual diner from the outside and most of the inside, and it was not too crowded at this hour. Yulian took one of the middle booths and waited eagerly for his meal. Nothing out of the ordinary, a hamburger, french fries, and some water. Which only the water had arrived.

The door chimed as a newcomer came into the diner, Yulian paid no mind as footsteps inched closer to him, and he heard the voice first. A voice of someone he thought he would never hear again, with a russian accent. "It has been a long time, little brother."

Yulian turned his head to the voice and was wide eyed as he said in astonishment at his older brother. Lukyan and he looked like he has not aged since the death of their father five years ago.

Yulian was speechless, and it showed as Lukyan took a seat across from Yulian at the booth. But soon, surprise turned into anger, and his face soured. What on earth is he doing here, Yulian thought bitterly. How did he find him after all this time?

Lukyan however, did not seem fazed by Yulian's expressions or his eyes that stared at him like daggers. "I know this is a surprise for you, me showing up after all of this time and finding you at this fine establishment." Trying to sound respectful despite the words fine establishment sounding fake. "I bet you have questions, and I have some answers, but it is good to see you again, little brother."

"What the fuck do you want?" Yulian said so brazenly and clearly not thrilled to see his brother again.

Lukyan took the verbal hit well but sighed heavily. "I know we did not have the best relationship before father died and all of that chaos, but I am not here to repeat the past with you."

Repeat the past? Yulian thought angrily. "Father forced me to be his tool, and you let it happen." Yulian was clearly angry at his brother. "How long was I his slave and you benefiting from that? Twelve years." Saying it with anger. "You have alot of nerve showing up here after father died, and how did you find me anyway?"

Lukyan looked nervous, not at what Yulian was saying but at how the people around them could hear, and he sighed again. "You are not the only one to settle in this city, and I have been wanting to find you since coming to America. How about we talk in Russian?" Just so we keep our conversation private."

"Afraid of what random people will think, Lukyan?" Yulian had venom in his voice. Who would like to hear how a father abused him for power and how his dear older brother did nothing to stop or help him from his father. Of course, being an ex-mobster from Russia is not a good thing to let random people know.

Now, in Russian, Lukyan says, "I figured there would be a chance of you being upset, and I will cut to the chase for our sakes." A waitress appeared and tried to take an order from Lukyan. "No, I am good, I will not be here long." In English, and the waitress went back to another booth. Back to Russian, "as I was saying. I have settled in Calder City, and I found you since I have... some eyes around the city."

Yulian, now speaking in Russian, "You had men following me?"

"No, no, just observing, and one told me you were here, and I came here not to just talk." Lukyan took on a serious tone, "I have an offer for you, brother, and a chance for me to make amends for what father.... did to you."

"What could possibly make me agree to anything you say?" Yulian was skeptical.

"Because I have plans, big plans and I would like you to join me, as an equal in my organization." His words sounded sincere, and his eyes sold it. "You and me, together as brothers, the ones running things and being something father could never be."

Yulian took a moment to scan his brother's face and words. He thought that there was a catch to all of this. That Lukyan would force him to be his slave, like what father had done. But if his brother was lying, he was doing a very good job. Being in the mob teaches you some things, and being a good liar is one of them, but also how to tell if someone is lying. As far as Yulian could tell, Lukyan was not lying, but Yulian could not trust his words. Or maybe he was trying not to trust his words after so many years of being used as a tool and Lukyan doing nothing about it. Could he trust his brother after all this time?

Lukyan seemed to have read Yulian's face as he reached for a note in his jacket pocket. "I live at this address, and here is my number." He put the note on the table and slipped it to Yulian. "I know that you have... good reasons to hate me, but I am not lying to you, nor do I want you to be what father used you for." Lukyan's words sounded more like an apology than anything. "I mean this, we can be a proper family again, and things will be different."

Then the sound of the waitress delivering Yulian's food and his burger and fries being placed in front of him. Right next to the note.

Yulian just stared at Lukyan, "I have a family, and I left that life when father died." He said bluntly.

Lukyan did not sigh this time and only had an understanding look. "Maybe, but think it over and get back to me when you are of a cooler head." Lukyan got up from his seat, and before he left, he said these final words to him and in English. "It is nice to see you, little brother, despite everything, and I hope you take me up on that offer." He left the diner.

Leaving Yulian to sit there, reviewing Lukyan's words, his tone, his expressions. He still felt rage for his brother, and a thought repeated in his head. Family, a true family, would not do what Yulian's father did to him or just let it happen. Milda is his family, and Lukyan is just as ambitious as their father. Which could get him killed or drag Yulian into something he does not want to be in. But if his brother was telling the truth and he wants to make amends and reconcile... Yulian is not sure he believes that right now, as he stared at the note that Lukyan left him. Before forcing himself to eat to get his mind off it for a short time.

He never would have thought to see his brother again, and now that he is back and living in Calder City. Yulian knew he had to do something, and he had to tell Milda about this. Just in case, Lukyan's men were watching her too. Yulian sighed after taking a bite from his burger. Unable to say a word, today just got a whole lot more interesting in a bad way, and he still had a list of stuff to do today. But for now, he would silence his thoughts as he ate. It was all he could do right now after this... unexpected meeting.

The Black Codex: The Unborn Day | Original Dieselpunk Cosmic Horror RP

Interested, and I have some character ideas.

In The Black (A Clean-Up Crew RP)

Kedem Girma

As he heard the news of the hopefully soon-to-be-gone wall. Kedem would prepare himself for the blast and take up position with Fabio. While not knowing what lies on the other side. Probably more of the tech zombies or those big guys or something entirely new. That prospect did not thrill Kedem at all, but at least these things are still weak to bullets.

So Kedem waited for the blast and hoped that a horde of tech zombies was not waiting on the other side. Maybe something worse, and if it is something worse, then spray and pray and hope for the best.

@Badarby@TheCrudlet@FlarbiniaOkay, I have posted, and tell me if more info about the area around the temple is needed.

Lost World: The Lost Expedition

Lucas Byrne

Lucas stopped looking around and looked at Jack. "Jack," we are all in the same boat here, and I do not care much for Coswall or how he is doing. I just want to find my mother, and I hope she is still alive in this place." He took a moment to gaze at the mural before looking back at Jack. "Wherever we are, and I guess Coswall was right about there being a lost world, but we should get going."

Waiting to see if Wade or Taras had any objections, and when he heard none. Lucas took one last look at the mural and wondered what kind of world that Coswall brought his mother to and what lay in this place. But they could not find out without exploring, so Lucas led the group to the only corridor that was in the chamber. Silently wishing he had brought a camera to at least document what they found while looking for their loved ones.

---

It took some time to leave the temple. It was bigger than the one in South America but had the same symbols on the walls of the corridors that they found. Still, Lucas kept to the same corridor, and it was clear like the temple in South America. No one had been in here in a long time, and he was hoping that they were on the right track out of the temple. But soon he would see sunlight, and as he stepped out into the open. He could see what looked like a bright and lush jungle on either side of the temple.

But unlike the temple in South America, this one was not overgrown, and the grass was short around the entrance as he looked back. It was clear of any vegetation and stood out in the jungle. But it still looked old and venerable.

As he took a moment to look around, Lucas realized something. They were on a hill, and they had a good look at the surrounding area. Which was mainly jungle, but the sun looked different, or he thought it was a sun, but something was keeping the place bright at least.

What is this place? Lucas thought to himself, and while he would normally consult the journal. It was more for finding the temple and getting to the Lost World, it had little to offer about what lies in the Lost World or what Coswall's plans were after finding it. Something that made him wonder where they went and how Coswall discovered this place. He was getting information from something, and that something he did not leave behind what it was.

Still, as Lucas looked around to get a better scope of where to go. He saw that there was a large path that led down the hill, and he guessed it led into the jungle or some other building. As he was walking back to the others, and to saw where to go next. A group of flying creatures flew overhead and caught Lucas's eye. They looked small, like the size of a cat or the body and not the wingspan, but were flying and looked like pterodactyls. This made Lucas more curious about what kind of Lost World this place was.

"Is that what I think it is?" Lucas said to himself as he watched the creatures fly by and further into the sky. Not sure if what he was seeing was right, and yet it was flying in the sky past them.

From Ashes We Rise : A New Dawn. A Warhammer 40,000 Alternate Timeline RP

Kailan System
Planet Terous

The 386th Expeditionary Fleet has been in the Kailan System for a short time now. Led by XII Legion and its flagship, the Battle Barge, the Sword of the Void. A ship adorned with the faded blue and grey colors of the legion. The fleet, while scattered over the system, is investigating what else lies in this system, with most of the fleet being in orbit around the fourth planet. The world of Terous where the legion has been eagerly waiting for the signal to land and bring this world into the arms of the Imperium.

On the Sword of the Void, the Void Marauders Chapter Master Ranehan Thein has been pondering over the recent reports that have been gathered from Terous on the bridge. A world ravaged by fifty years of war between two opposing powers. The Tonica Empire and the High Kingdom of Neavan. Both seeking control of Terous and its resources, and have been in a stalemate for some time now. Neither side has an edge over the other, and now with the arrival of the XII Legion to the planet. This war will end soon, it just matters to Thein which power on the planet survives, if any.

Ranehan's second Captain Miranon Ashon arrived on the bridge in her power armor. The sound of clanking metal caused by her footsteps did not disturb the chapter master, but he still turned to face her, and she spoke.

"I received your summons, Chapter Master, the Legion and the fleet is eager to deploy to Terous and bring this world into the imperial fold." She said in a calm tone, careful not to annoy Ranehan since this is not the first time he has heard this. "Have you finished reading the reports and made a decision?"

Ranehan took a moment to speak, weighing the thoughts of what the fleet has gathered since coming to this world. "Yes, I have, Miranon." He said plainly and motioned her over to the central holo display, and soon the general of the militarum attached to the legion. Amata Mero and Ship Master Jator Issogus. Both had been summoned by the chapter master to discuss their plan of action.

"After reviewing the reports and seeing how each of the two powers on Terous is aware of our presence." Ranehan motioned over to the holo-display of the planet, showing the lines that divided the planet between the empire and the high kingdom. "While the empire and the high kingdom have shown willingness to work with us to end their rivalry and the war." The holo display now centered on the High Kingdom of Neavan. "I have talked to both sides and have decided that the High Kingdom of Neavan will have our support in exchange for their allegiance to the Imperium."

"Understood lord," they all said, but General Mero spoke more. "Do you think this is the right course, siding with this kingdom or even allying with them entirely?" She voice was laced with contempt for these bickering humans.

"Yes, I do," Ranehan spoke with calmness and not a hint of annoyance at the general. "It is better to ally with one and gain their loyalty than just invade them both despite having the manpower to do it." He let his words settle in the air before speaking again. "Besides, it will be easier for us to conquer half of a world rather all of it and gain a loyal population this way."

"Okay, I understand Lord." The general now understood Ranehan's thoughts.

"Good, and if anyone else has any thoughts before we begin coordinating with the Neavans?"

Only, one voice stood out from the four gathered. The voice of the Ship Master of the Sword of the Void, Jator. "I only have one Lord, what if the Neavans betray us after we rid them of their enemy?" His words were filled with suspicion. "Turn their guns on us once they have the world?"

Ranehan had a grin on his face, betraying his calm demeanor before. "It is simple, we will crush them if they betray us during this war. This world will be an imperial world after this war. No matter what happens, understood?" His calm words were replaced with a serious tone.

"Yes lord," they all said again.

"Good, now let's begin."
