Beyond the Gate at World's End

The creature zipped around the room once more and hid again. Druuk heard the other creatures saying things about having stolen the train and it's occupants. While he did not like the idea of being stolen the creatures seemed to mean them no harm for the time being. Druuk turned his head from side to side looking for the creature while saying, "now where did you go little one?"

"I am hidden! I am the best at hiding!" He heard it giggle behind him and noticed its glow in his peripheral vision. It reminded him of the younger children back home, they often hid for stealth exercises but then didn't understand that to stay hidden you had to stay quiet. Druuk chuckled then spun around quickly to find the starling right in front of him "Aha! I gotcha." He was sure if the creature could look surprised it would, it seemed very happy when it said, "You found me! I hide so well! You must be magic!" He noticed the girl from early seemed to be drifting in to his room, literally drifting, as her feet weren't touching the ground. She left and Druuk brought his attention back to the starling, chuckling at its remark about him having to be magic.

"I'm just good at finding things, you're much more magical, you can fly and lift this train," Druuk said this to the creature but it just giggled some more and replied, "It's easy if you try! I can even make you fly." This surprised Druuk, would he really be able to fly? He'd had dreams of flying before, not aspirations but actual dreams, and he always found them incredible. "I'd like to see that, I'm a pretty big guy," he was a bit dubious of the claim but if he could fly he'd very much like to experience it. The starling flew over him and covered his shoulders with a light golden dust, and Druuk felt as light as a feather. He jumped lightly to experiment and it felt as thought gravity no longer applied. After a few moments he found it easiest to treat it as though he was in water and to swim through the air. He laughed, a real, true laugh he had not felt in a long time, "oh thank you little one, this is amazing."

The other humans who were originally occupying the train seemed to be floating along just outside the train. Druuk gripped his swords to make sure they had not fallen as he flew about his room and they were where they should be. He left his room to go join the others, they were all in this together now, he may as well figure out who they were and what they could do. "Hi," he grunted to them as he approached, very personable, helped by how his face had gone in to its default resting position which was a scowl, making him look somewhat angry.

Druuk sat alone in his train car, with the window open to feel the wind whistling by. It also provided an easy escape should the train suddenly stop. The train car was big enough to be comfortable but not nearly enough to fight with any kind of grace. Druuk was sure he could take on a single attacker if it came to it, a group may be tougher. But hopefully The Empire wasn't completely inept and their trains had some sort of protection seeing as they've been doing this for some time. So Druuk absently cracked his knuckles and sat back in his chair, his blades resting at his sides, and he let his mind wander.

He knew there were others on the train with him, they each had their own sections. He was glad for that fact, it meant they should stay away and not try to make small talk. People often thought Druuk was just some idiot from the North Kin, but he wasn't totally clueless. He knew some things, important things, like survival, and battle technique, and.....and that trains don't fly. Druuk thought something felt off, and looking out the window he noticed everything was on an angle, and not an angle that would come from just going up a hill.

Druuk could hear voices as the train rose, he couldn't make out what they were saying, but it sounded like they were giggling. The voices were also very high pitched, what exactly were these things? As Druuk thought about that one of them flew in through his open window. He tried to reach out and grab it but the creature was very quick, it zipped around the room and eventually found its way to a pouch. Druuk had his hands on his swords but released them when it seemed the creature was not going to fight him. It didn't seem like a creature which could fight, but it obviously had some kind of power about it if its kind were what was lifting the train in to the sky.

While Druuk debated disturbing the creature in its pouch he suddenly felt like he was being watched. Glancing at his door he saw a woman standing there. Had she been there long? It looked a bit like she was expecting Druuk to say something, had she spoken to him? He was a bit lost with trying to figure out what these things were that he may have missed whatever it was she said. At any rate she mumbled something he didn't catch then became distracted by who Druuk assumed to be their other train mate. He ignored them, they could do what they were doing, he wanted to see what kind of creature had the power to lift a train.

He put his hand in the pouch and scooped out the creature. It was definitely physical, but it almost felt like he was holding light. "Do you speak, what is it you are doing here?" Druuk was not the best with his words, just another reason he did not enjoy talking to people. The creature did not look like much, but he had to keep reminding himself that the train was in the air, and anything that could do that had to be seriously powerful.

"Well first, let me say that wanting to run when no one is around sounds like the way to do it," he started cutting in to his omelette as he spoke, "now, I'm not one to run just for the hell of it. But if I did, I would want to do it without spectators....maybe a running buddy to keep me motivated. Sam had a bite of omelette and a thought occurred to him, did he really hate running? He thought he hated it, when he was younger he wasn't too keen on it, but maybe he'd changed. Maybe if he couldn't sleep at 5 in the morning he might ask Ruby one time to try running with her. He let the thought pass and continued talking, "as for sleep, it was about as good as it can be. Nothing can compare to my bed at home, y'know? But the beds here are pretty nice too."

Sam was quiet a few moments while he continued eating, then he realized something and grinned, "history is the first class of the day, isn't it? That's pretty good, start the day off with a pretty easy class." Sam figured if the class was taught by anyone other than Sir Hives then he wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much. That was someone Sam looked up to, he hoped one day he will have traveled the world as much if not more than Sir Hives had. Who knows, maybe after Sam retired he might decide to become the new history teacher at St. Fortuna's. The class was also easy because Sir Hives almost never assigned homework, Sam was awful with homework, he was of the mind that schoolwork should not follow you out of the classroom.

"If at first you don't succeed, you're probably done for"

Druuk

Druuk • 18 • June 22 • Male • Heterosexual • The North Kin

Appearance:
Druuk stands at 6'3", standing upright at all times to exert his presence over others. His olive tone skin is covered in many scars, the most prominent of which is a bite on his left cheek which he received when he was quite young. His clothing is his armor, preferring neutral colours and pieces that don't restrict movement while providing the most protection possible. His green eyes have been trained to see everything as a threat, and he keeps his black hair short so it doesn't get in the way.

Personality:
Druuk is a bit of a crass individual. He doesn't particularly enjoy the company of other people. He tolerates them because he understands the concept of power in numbers. Despite his dislike of people in general, when in a group he puts himself in the lead to protect the others from danger. If they lead themselves they'd just end up dying and leaving him alone. If he leads he's confident in his ability to not die long enough for the group to get themselves together and fight.

There are some people Druuk does enjoy the company of, and if he deems you a friend you should count yourself lucky. Around those he likes he is loud, boisterous and overall a friendly guy. If someone he doesn't like gets in a bad situation, he may just leave them. If a friend is in a bad spot, he will jump in and fight his hardest for them.

@Haru Nyan you're literally exactly opposite me, it's currently almost 5 in the evening here

Beyond the Gate at World's End

Unfortunately I'm going on vacation for a week starting Saturday, so it seems I'll be missing the start of the rp. But that's okay, I'm sure I'll be able to work my way in when I'm back

Sam found the button shortly after Boxcar had told him which side of the door it was on, there was nothing obvious marking it was different from the rest of the area so you'd have to either know it's there or be looking for it to push the button. Once Boxcar was out he calmed down immediately, and didn't sound very grateful for being saved, but his tail was wagging so Sam let the attitude slide and counted it as a win in his book.

The idea of food made Sam realize how hungry he was, he hadn't eaten anything since he woke up at about 6 that morning. Before that though Ashley reminded him he had something he wanted to say, "oh right, it's just something about what you announced to everyone upstairs." He felt his face getting warm, which had a much different meaning than someone else saying it, he hoped he didn't flame up. Why was he getting nervous all of a sudden? "It's just...you sounded kind of scared of how people might react, but I don't see what the big deal with it is." As he spoke he gained more confidence, Sam wasn't the best at talking to new people, but once he got going he found it much easier. "I mean, we've all got something going on with us in this house, right?"

Sam paused a moment and considered telling her about his heritage, then decided he would. Everyone would probably find out eventually, and Ashley seemed like a nice person so he'd tell her first. "I have some ability with fire, and I have that because," Sam looked around and lowered his voice without really realizing it, "I'm actually part phoenix." He let out a sigh he didn't realize he was holding in, it felt good to tell someone about himself. He also didn't feel warm anymore so he didn't fear accidentally bursting in to flames with Ashley right there with him.

I kind of want a power chosen for me, should I make a character first or will you give me my power first?

The Lodge Outside of Segaso City (RP is now closed by GM)

"Sam is fine, and thanks," he said to the professor, he figured fireproofing his room may have to go on the back burner for a bit, but he was glad to know it was something they could get to work on in the near future. He would have offered to watch over the girl they found at the crash site but after saying it the professor seemed to decide she was probably fine on her own. The offer to let him help cook was appreciated but he had to inform her, "I'm not that great in the kitchen, I can grill things and that's about it, I'll help out Ashley."

Speaking of Ashley, she now had the transponder to locate Boxcar and asked Sam if he was coming, "yup, coming." He walked down the stairs quickly, skipping the last few as he followed her around the corner and in to the basement. Sam was usually fine with basements, but that was when they had proper lighting, and the stairs had a proper railing. At least there was a wall to keep him balanced, he was really awful with stairs. Not that he couldn't use them, but he was always paranoid that without something to hold on to he would just fall down.

Sam figured now might be a good time to tell Ashley that he thought the werewolf thing was actually kind of cool, "hey, Ashley..." but unfortunately for him as soon as he started to speak she seemed to have picked up on Boxcar. "Never mind, tell you later," Sam went to the corner and heard her thuds on what should be ground sound more like a metal door. Ashley was trying to keep Boxcar calm, which was probably a good thing. Sam figured it might be a door the original owners may have wanted put in, but why was it hidden then? At any rate, Sam figured Boxcar must have found a button and walked in before trapping himself. So Sam started feeling the floor and wall near where Ashley was to try and find how to open it up to release Boxcar, "come on, the friggin' wolf can find the secret lever or whatever but I can't?" He was more talking to himself than Ashley at that point. It had to be a hidden button, there was no other obvious way that would open some secret door.

Interested, will we be choosing our powers or will they be assigned? Because this seems like a great type of RP for people to not have a choice in their powers
