The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Typing up a post. No one post just yet!

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Took forever to color

^Went into the weird part youtube and found this Lesley gem XD

Eh, school is trying to kill me. But I think I'm going to be posting more regularly. I've noticed everyone in here is having to slow down as well.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Posted finally. Gonna hunt down some real life Lesley pics and a theme song. *jumps into youtube and google imgs*

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Pink curls fluttering daintily in the light breeze that came to meet him during the landing, Lesley had deployed his parachute early enough so that he was no longer carrying extra southbound momentum from the dive. Feet touching the cobblestone sidewalk without much strain, he merely shrugged off his backpack and handed it to Japhet. Meanwhile, he realized that some of the others didn't have as safe a touchdown. A couple of them were huddling around a store window and he approached. The teens appeared utterly eager to jump on one of those things and he couldn't say he felt any different. Upon observing so many Nowherians here zipping around effortlessly on their fancy-floating devices, he definitely wanted to try one out for himself.

Just as the crowd of them were ready to flood the hover craft store, a frantic Japhet herded them elsewhere. They were met with a trio, two of which were dressed up in soldier like apparel. The blond female apparently was a Lieutenant and her personality matched. Her voice was stern and straight forward, announcing instructions and assigning their caretakers, some of which seemed surprised. She also mentioned something about some "suspicious figures" being seen around the area and instructed them on what they were to do til the meet up, explore. Now that is what he wanted to hear, they really needed to roam this wonderful city.

Ace was the first to break off, but stopped as she peeled a posting off the wall. Her eyes wide, the red head suggested on taking Riley, Toby, and Ran with her to a hoverboard competition, but the question was left open ended as she turned and headed out the door.

Est: “So, want some fruit? They’re good. We gots split you guys in half though, so you'd best decide if you wanna go with Japeth or us."

Lesley inspected the second flyer on the wall and pulled it off before showing it to their caretakers. "Paintball anyone?" He turned to Leila and hooked his arm around her's. "I think you'll enjoy this!" He grinned with a slight quirk. He was eager on bringing her out of her shell even further even though she had made good progress already. Est and Breeze seemed like easier targets for that type of match so he walked over to them with Leila in tow. "Challenge accepted? Or do you two believe in anymore creepy human superstitions?" Lesley joked. "At least now you know we don't have spit that melts metal!" A chuckle escaped his lips. Inadi seemed uncertain on doing anything "fun" and Lesley snorted at his suggestion at going for a walk at the park. "Geh! Just cuz you have a girlfriend now doesn't mean you two can't be romantic doing dangerous stuff! Come on Jasper, you join this crew." Lesley reached over and took the albino in his other hand. By now he was hoping that it would reel Inadi in as well, though he did notice the frame-faced boy had a slight limp on one leg.

Here. Will get a post up tomorrow or Saturday. Just getting my homework out of the way.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Sounds good. Could we jump into the paintball and hover board competitions or do we wait?

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Oh man. I'm so late on the celebration *toots party horn alone*

I'm pleased with how well this story is playing out so far and look forward to a continued roleplaying experience with all of you.

On a sadder note, I'm not sure if I'll be posting regularly, albeit I'll be trying my best to post per cycle. Promises can not be made as of now, but I'll have you all know I'm doing my best.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

It was absolutely spectacular. The city appeared to resemble the insides of a clock. Ginormous teethed wheels scraped and turn, its cut-outs meshing perfectly with a miniature version of itself. White smoke would puff out every now and then, clouding his vision from up above whilst he observed through the large transparent flooring. A Nobody had just let them know that they'd be leaving the airship shortly and beckoned them towards the exposed deck. Heading off with a misbehaving little robot in hand, Lesley eagerly followed the crowd flowing out onto the ship's outer board.

The weeks of vacation flew by like a breeze, like they always say, 'Time flies by when you're having fun,' and with all the crazy bonding time he spent with his friends, it sure did. He was glad to have strengthened connections with his fellow humans and guides. Apart from relationship building, he also had plenty of hours "on hand" to adjust to his new prosthetic. It had become a part of him almost. By now, he had become so accustomed to the thing that it felt like he never lost a limb at all. The haunting image of its loss now escaped his mind and a dreadful sensation would not wash over him any more whenever he laid eyes on it. For this, he was granted a renewed positivity in the future of this wild adventure.

Riley: "Lesley You need to paint this...this is beautiful."

Lesley could hear the sniffles in between her words and he wrapped an arm around her dearingly, taking in the details of every scene, trying his best to suck up the view as whole for future works of art. She then moved on the inquire Ran about his sketchbook while Toby jumped in with his own 'camera' holding out his squared fingers along with his out "clicking" noises. Giggling, Lesley pretended to have a 'finger-camera' too, flicking his tongue to audibly confirm each shot. Reaching over, the man ruffled the boy's hair with a light chuckle. Slowly but surely, Lesley was starting to feel out his position in the group as the "mother" while Ran took up the humble dub of "Gramps". As he thought about the newbie, it seemed to subliminally signal Ran to come over and Lesley gave him a gentle touch to the backside with a warm smile. Both of them grinned as boy on a hoverboard flew by to give Ran his hat back. Then all of a sudden, Riley was shaking him back in forth as she exclaimed about the passing citizen of Cogs.

"Yes! I know, this place is like," Lesley paused in his struggle for an appropriate word, "It's CRAZY!"

Turning around to face the commotion, Lesley hooted and hollered along with everybody else as Inadi gracefully performed a solo with his weapon. No wonder the frame-faced fella was always out of sight, he had been practicing all along. The pink haired man clapped to show how impressed he felt. At least he would come in handy if anymore battles came along. Another thing about his first romantic interest was that Inadi was now taken, by no other than Jasper. Lesley wasn't going to lie, he was a lil' bit jealous, but he had played the fairy god mother after all, bringing the two together. Right on cue, Jasper approached them and teased Ran on taking the stage following Inadi.

Tilting his head thoughtfully, Lesley urged Ran on, taking Grampy's belongings into his arms to allow Ran freedom of movement. Pinching his lips into his mouth, he almost burst out in a surprised cry as Ran began to sing. The man sounded absolutely amazing, his voice deep and sonorous. Not only was the singing great, but the dance moves that went along with it were spot on. Talk about entertainment, he was like Michael Jackson incarnate! In no time, they had all joined in and started dancing too, the whole deck was having their own little music video.

"Now those moves are impressive. We've reached the port, guys. You'll be jumping off the ship, so put these on. They're really simple to use and I'll be heading down with you, so don't worry."

Though the Nobody looked rather surprised to walk into a "club", he then proceeded to give the humans their very own parachutes before throwing himself off the ship to demonstrate how its done. Lesley shuffled and tapped his toes in excitement. "Ohhh! I've always wanted to try this!" Slipping into his own safety gear, Lesley helped Ran put his things back on. "Come on Ran, let's go together!" If the guy had hesitated or protested at all, Lesley had been to riled up to hear it because he was already yanking the man towards the railings as well. Most of the others had already sailed off and were nothing but ballooning, mushroom-like circles below. Holding Ran's hands within his own, "Ok... on the count of three." Lesley braced himself, gripping Ran's hands to tone down his own anxiety. "1, 2.....3!" Tugging his partner's hands as he leapt off the balcony, he was laughing on the way down, allowing Ran to fly freely as their hold unclasped. "I'm flyingggg!!!" He could feel his mouth flapping in the surge of wind. Each second he neared the ground, Lesley almost forgot to pull the string in his euphoric daze, but luckily he did and the ride halted to a peaceful float to the bottom.

Aha sorry about that. After I sent Fox my leave message I immediately regretted. I'm glad that temporary leaves are accepted :) Will be back in a week or two?

Sorry about the false sadness there (°◇°;)
