I'm just some crazy reclusive girl. If you really want to know more about me, just ask. ^.~

I'm interested in either the Accel World RP or "The Wanted Man". I've seen all of Accel World, but it's been a while, so I may be rusty on that front, though.
Hi! I'm hoping to do an RP where I play a woman who has been using magic to rob rich families in a certain city. Though stealing is her goal, she is unafraid to kill those who get in her way, and has done so several times, earning her quite a lot of notoriety. A high profile detective (who, I would think, also uses magic) is out to stop her, and a chase ensues. This could become romantic or not. I am quite open with regards to time period. I know this is all quite vague, but please PM me if you're interested - I'd love to determine the details together!

Rules:
1. You and your character must be 18+ years old.
2. I'm looking for someone who can post at least 3 times a week; close to once a day would be ideal.
3. We will RP either via a topic or through PM.
4. I only intend to run 1 or 2 of these at a time, so contact me via PM asap if interested!
"Wait!" said Katie urgently, forcing herself to act despite Charon's insane move. "What if I were to say... you can have the girl. She's changed. She used to be endearing, in her own way. She brought us together. But, now, she's only concerned with appearing strong. We do still need her... but only as a figurehead. If she keeps going the way she has been, she will turn too much of Omnibus against her. For her sake, I have been trying to think of ways keep her out of our affairs, if only for a while. But I haven't the slightest idea how to convince her." Katie sighed. "I trust you realize that I'm putting my neck on the line by telling you all this. The Oracle would be furious. But this is for her own good. Will you help me?"

Alice crinkled up her nose at the sight of her mashed potatoes, which bore a rounded off mark where one of her servants had tested the food for poison. Before the virus hit, she had never been willing to share her food with anyone - it was so icky! - but, now, the measure was necessary. She sighed and took a bite. The food was passable, of course, but it was bland compared to what her mother used to make. With a scowl, she set out a napkin on her lap, covering her dark skirt. To make matters all the more disappointing, there were no cookies to be had - after that stupid medic had threatened to use his samples on her, she could hardly trust anything he brought to her, even if they did pass all the purity tests.

After eating, Alice turned on her monitor and connected with the head of her Acquirers.

"Captain, I have an assignment for you. Mr. Farley needs some parts - I have sent to the list. I want you and your team to go out to the nearest junkyard that calls itself a store and get them. Oh, and keep your eyes open for cookies..."
@AtomicNut

He really is - quite possibly more so than many of the cultists. =p
We need Otaku to ok an attack on you all! Alice is angry and wants to do evil things!
Alice tasted a hint of iron as she chewed her lip. Charon wasn't taking her seriously at all! And she would only look worse if she threw a tantrum!

"Don't you dare talk to anyone else about this, or I will have you killed," she said, and pressed the button that ended her transmission before her guest - no, her servant - could respond. A long breath escaped her. Her fingers violently danced atop her keyboard as she sent Katie her instructions. Charon had called her pouty... how dare he? He ought to already be dead for that! So... why didn't she want to give her underlings the command? They would obey her, would dismiss the medic's tale as the babbling of a desperate man. So what was stopping her?

Charon's attempts to entice her to study under him were laughable. 'Savior of mankind?' Really? Alice was no hero. She didn't really care about finding a cure for the virus - her only goal was to stay alive, and make her short life as comfortable as it could be. And she was doing excellently. The hope Charon had spoken of, the one even Alice herself presented to others... it was a lie. The virus would never be cured, least of all by her. She was a genius, not a god. Ten or twelve years wasn't long enough to learn all the science she'd have to know to stand a chance.

There was no point in denying it. Oracle or not, in a decade or so, she would die.

Katie gestured for Charon to wait as he exited the room. A moment later, the girl had sent her message. Katie looked up, smirking at the visitor.

"She says I'm to take your samples. That's unfortunate." On the contrary; it was exactly what she needed. In the right hands, those samples might actually help develop a cure. No one man should hold them.

"Follow me," said Katie with a wave of her hand. Her office was not far. Once she had led Charon to it, she closed the door behind him and gestured toward the seat in front of her desk. Casually, she sat down opposite him.

"You may speak freely in here," she said simply. "I promise, this is no test of your loyalty. You have no reason to be loyal to... her. So tell me: having spoken to the Oracle one on one, what did you think?"

Alice rolled her eyes and slumped back into her chair, arms folding. Charon's answer... it was just stupid! Why would anyone risk their lives over some silly poem? Even the most unhinged of her followers wasn't that insane!

"Standing up to death, as if it were a person... so dumb," she said harshly, "But I suppose I can't expect any more from you than the truth. So, whatever. Katie will take your samples from you when you leave - be a good boy and just hand them over without a fuss, 'kay?"

She waved her hand dismissively, but her eyes were already out of focus, her brow furrowed. This guy couldn't be a complete moron, could he? He was a doctor, after all... he was supposed to be at least sort of smart! So why did he put so much stock in some old poem? Was he afraid to admit that there was no point to his life? Alice had already all but accepted that was true of her own life. She lived because she wanted to, because she was afraid to die. Even if life sucked, she would cling to it rather than accept the alternative.

As Alice put a hand to her forehead to lightly massage it, she blinked. The light on her camera... it was still on! He was probably still watching, and if so, he had seen her moment of weakness!

"I said leave!" she yelled, cheeks burning. How could she be so careless?
Alice's eyes narrowed as Charon spoke his empty oath. The man had gone from rage to subservience so quickly... he was far from broken. No, he was only playing along to preserve his meaningless life. But, as long as he continued, Alice needed nothing more.

"Good boy," she said, a playful smile forming on her lips as she absently wrapped a strand of hair around one finger. "I will have Miss Katie take your little samples after you leave this room. But I wonder..."

She leaned forward in her chair, eyes widening as they approached the screen. She didn't really understand the medic, and others like him. Perhaps he could help her to.

"You don't believe in the Highest. Everyone you care about is already dead, right? So why do you even bother trying to find a cure? Do you really think you can do it in time to save yourself?"

Alice bit the inside of her lip as she realized the things she was saying about Charon applied equally to herself - she knew the Highest was a sham, and her family was long gone. Omnibus Scientia's mission to eradicate the virus was just an excuse she used to maintain a powerful group to protect herself - horrible things could happen to undefended children in this brutal world. But Alice didn't have any reason to live - there was nothing she hoped for. In time, she would grow, and she would cease to be the prodigy sent to save humanity in its time of need. What would happen to her then?

Perhaps it's time for an attack... I reread everything for clarity's sake, so I should be ready. However, does anyone else need to finish anything up before evil people appear?
@Jangel13

Not being sure what's going on with all the other characters is exactly why I haven't had any cronies attack, so yes, a recap would help. xD
