The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Oh boy, this'll be a joy to see >w<)/ and guys feel free to describe the inside of the house. It can have anything, doesn't really matter. If there's one thing that's set in stone, it's that the house is huge and has a library on the first floor but aside from that add whatever you like.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

No worries, as long as you don't miss the cycle, it's all cool ^^ (This one ends on Friday, but if you all get a post in by Thursday, then it can end on that day xD) Ehehehe, don't worry 8D you'll find something important in it <3 I swear, it's not just some trap.

Edit: Awesome post Aki ^^

Andddd, Oblivion are you with us? Now that your exams are over, I'd love to see consistent posting. Leon has been away for most of the previous chapter so now's his chance to interact, if he misses out on this chapter too :/ well future events will feel kind of empty and they'll be way less weighty for him as well. I'm placing him in a group with Lesley and Marti so he can try to make friends.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

This'll be what they play xD! Good luck, hoomans. Though the video below is pretty much a video game version.



Here's a video of someone really trying it out for real 8D

Pirate Age

Yush, you're all awesome and I look forward to more adventuring <3

Oooh, I didn't know you could kill people by dropping stuff on them. That's pretty awesome! I kind of took a more brutal approach. I snuck into the castle then when I was hidden made my character go werewolf. Mauled the bride, then leaped off the balcony and ran into the city. Hid, then turned human again, the guards of Solitude didn't suspect a thing xD (it was in solitude, right?)

Did you do Escape from Cidnah Mine xD? Ughhh mages have the advantage there.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Posted :D! Their current destination is the giant mansion. The lost souls will be getting a short break, more interaction time, and a little surprise ;) hopefully you guys enjoy what we have in store, kukuku. How are you all doing on this mornight?

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

It felt like they were being followed, and occasionally Harper would spin around and shine his flashlight down the dirt road. There was nothing behind them except an unnerving tree, so they trudged forward only to hear a loud hissing sound. Something pounced out of the bushes and the boy staggered back as a blur of white flashed by him. For a moment, he thought it had been a ghost. His mind went into overdrive, only to realize moments later that it had been Jasper who had rushed past him and not some cursed spirit.

No, no, no, they couldn't split up. Not in a place like this. If one of them were to go missing, it'd be almost impossible to regroup.

Thankfully, Inadi rushed towards the girl's rescue and eventually Avian went off to help. As soon as they had returned Harper approached the both of them and placed a hand on both their shoulders. "Jasper, Inadi, are you guys okay?" He waited for an answer, "we'll need to stay in a group, alright? Getting separated here would be very bad news." He gave the girl a comforting smile then tapped Inadi one the back.

This forest was messing with them and everyone felt jittery, even Hakuren had felt a chill rush down his spine, though he would rather die than admit that. "Bear," he gave Jasper a smile. "Remember, those who rush off in horror movies always get eaten first."

Harper sighed, "that's why we're sticking together, safety in numbers."

While Harper had pushed himself towards the front of the group, Riley lingered near the back. The girl watched as Lesley and Martini clung to each other like a pack of sardines and slowly made their way behind them, "don't worry, we're all together." However, instead of getting a response, Lesley mentioned a tree behind them and sure enough the girl turned around to see a tree, smack dab in the middle of the trail.

"Uh, that wasn't there before." She muttered before Brandy suggested they apologize. Well, that sounded easy enough. In fact, it sounded normal. To be honest, she thought he would suggest they make a sacrifice to the tree gods or something. "Go on Lesley," she nudged him forward flashing a grin and giving the pink-haired man two energetic thumbs ups.

Lesley began to apologize, only to plop Leila down in front of the tree halfway through.

Riley arched an eyebrow wondering what the dragon tamer would do next. The girl fell back, snapping one of the trees' branches in the process. The others had already made their way towards the path, but the tree wasn't just going to let them leave now.

Suddenly, it grew a mouth. A wooden scowl appearing on its bark. "What are you staring at you good for nothing whippersnapper! Just because I'm old doesn't mean you can disrespect me and vandalize me!" His eyes shone an even darker red as he shook his branches in anger.

"Whoa Leila," Riley reached out to grab the girl by the hand. "You got it to talk, good job!"

"SHUT UP!" The tree eyed the redhead with distaste before straight at the pink haired man. "AND YOU, WHAT THE HELL KIND OF APOLOGY IS THAT?" He jabbed one of his branches into Lesley's chest and continued to yell all sorts of profanities. "Bubble gum head!" The tree swiped another branch at the man's head, messing up his fabulous pink locks. His eyes landed on Martini and Ace. "What are you looking at? SUSHI! FLAME HEAD!" He began spitting what looked like moss at them, obviously very, very upset.

At the sound of the new voice, Harper and the others who were up ahead turned around.

"So you're looking for the witch, aye? Answer me when I'm talking to you pinky!" His eyes fell on the trident in Ace's hands and they could have sworn smoke came shooting right out of his new found nostrils. "Stone of sacrifice? What do you even want with those creeps?" The tree shuddered. "They turned one of my closest friends into moss juice, it wasn't a pretty process. So witches, yeah?"

Riley bobbed her head up and down. "That's right."

"Well, do you want a piece of advice?" The tree grinned before motioning for the humans to come closer. "Lean in, that's right, this is super secret advice, y'know." As soon as they were close enough the tree cackled and in his loudest voice declared. "YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE NUMSKULLS."

Riley flinched at the intensity of his voice. "Aren't you a jerk? Guys, maybe we should just get off oldie's lawn."

"Oi, oi! Don't you dare walk away from me! I'm just telling you the truth." Riley was already stomping off towards the blocked path Jasper and a few of the others had decided to take.

"Even the midnight man, the greatest witch hunter alive eventually died here!" The tree snickered. "Good luck, hoomans."

The tree's eyes vanished and so did his mouth. There was a flash of lightning and suddenly it began to pour buckets. "Snap," Riley lit a fire in the palm of her hands planning to burn through the vines that were blocking the way. "Mind helping me out Ace?" Songbird muttered something about not burning the path and she dropped her hands to her side. "Oh, I was planning as using it as a lamp...that's all."

Harper unsheathed his sword and began hacking away at the vines. The blocked path was darker but they had two fire mages to help light the way and they managed. Eventually it led them to another part of the forest. There were less trees but more stones now and in the distance one could see the vague outline of a mansion.

Lightning tore through the sky and rain thundered down even harder. The Lost souls were cold and tired.

Harper turned to look at them, some of the others were practically dragging their feet behind them now. He focused on the house in the distance, maybe a short break would be a good idea. It wouldn't be any use if they fought the witches in this condition. "Maybe we can rest there for a little while? We're all tired and fighting the witches in this condition won't do us any good." He gave the others a hesitant smile. "What do you guys say? We can settle our nerves, dry ourselves off and maybe fill up our stomachs too."

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Alrighty then :D and Leila and Jasper were part of the original group so they defo need bonding time, good idea.

I'll have a post up in an hour or two.

Pirate Age

Pfft, Luro used Kai's angry face as a threat xD! Poor Danny.

Andddd Posted :D looking forward to how this goes. Also, we're almost a month old <3 *tackle hugs all around*

Pirate Age

The Coral Pearl

Soon enough Ray and Kai came bursting through the doors, weapons drawn.

Both men began to yell threats as Nolan scrambled to his feet. The stowaway looked more like a child than a pirate though he wasn't that naive, and he understood that looks could be quite deceiving. "Behind the barrels," he had mumbled, only for the girl to be caught moments later. He didn't know whether she was a bloodthirsty pirate or a hungry person who had snuck in for a meal, so a part of him felt guilty for her capture, it was kind of silly.

He shot her an apologetic look and watched as she was tied up and dragged onto the deck. He felt his heart hammer inside his chest in worry, but thankfully Runa decided to question the girl. Hopefully, it was just a misunderstanding.

The cook twiddled his thumbs, one hand on his rifle. Yes, he wasn't exactly fond of violence, but he did have a good aim.

He let out a sigh and waited for the interrogation to happen, but it never did. For no reason at all, the ship in the distance began firing at them, the waves rocking their ship. For crying out loud! It had only been a few hours since their last battle, what did those guys even want? The captain mentioned something about a slave ship and Nolan ended up wondering if he'd ever live to see another day. Wait, wait! He had to, for his parents, siblings and Annie!

"We can't just leave her tied up, not while they're firing." Before he could say more Luro untied Danny and Nolan gave the man a thumbs up. The girl didn't seem like a threat and he sympathized with her. He had become a pirate because of adventure's call too. When the ocean calls, it's hard to refuse.

"Captain, do we fire with the canons?" Nolan was already running across the deck towards the cannonballs. He grabbed two, and scrambled to load the canons nearest to the rest of the crew. Slavers weren't the nicest people, and if they put these guys out of commission then maybe they'd actually be able to help some kidnapped people. Luro tossed a cutlass at the now freed stowaway and Nolan began to fill up the canons.

The ship lurched to the side as another cannonball sent waves their way. Nolan gritted his teeth then grabbed hold of a now full canon. "Do I have permission to fire, captain?"

The captain nodded her head and he aimed. It was rather hard since the waves were tossing the boat around but he managed. The first cannonball merely hit the water but the second one managed to graze the enemy ship.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

*Stares at Leila* PFFT, NICE JOB BREAKING IT HERO.

Though, Ace and Lesley kind of started it, so arguably, it's all their fault :P! Nighty night Four, I'll have a post for you guys up in the morning.

Also, Marti and Avian will be with Lesles and Leon, that way the fashion peeps can hang out and show their devotion to frills and suits by protecting Marti :P! Song and Brandu shall take the other group.
