Hahaha well i thought it would be suspenseful to work up to a conflict with the dead, instead of a random fight out of nowhere. So we have time to prepare and maybe something else will come from the conflict. And we are moving a bit fast I must admit. I'll wait to post until some other people have caught up. If they dont post soon though, I'll continue.

I like this. This will also allow our characters to interact a bit, get used to each other. The suspense is good!

The Day The Earth Fell

No this is good! Once in awhile work draws me away but if I'm gone too long people can move on without my character.

I'm going to wait for Metro to respond with a post. If not soon then I'll continue on. Glad to hear the Dead are coming. It will make the rp dramatic!

The Day The Earth Fell

wow I missed a lot! Going to catch up and post. Love rps that move along though :)

The Impossible City

Kaiden left the cafe after getting food and drink. He didn't want to linger there much longer. Until he figured out where exactly he would settle he didn't want to remain in one position so as to risk being conspicuous. While walking down the street Kaiden saw ahead two young people walking and talking. They looked to be alone and the pair did not seem to be any sort of threat. Kaiden followed behind quietly, tracking them to their apartment building. He stayed behind enough to follow their lead but undetected. As the two entered their apartment, the door shutting behind, Kaiden paused down the hall. He stared at their door. He wasn't sure what he was doing. He needed a place to stay. What was his action going to be? With no money he could try to find work and sleep in the streets until he had accumulated enough. He could barge through the door of these two young people and force home and entry. Or he could simply ask for housing. He highly doubted that asking would do any good. Still deciding on his method of approach, Kaiden slowly walked forward to Kido and Felice's door. He paused in front.

Isam had left the house when it was still dark. Maybe night he found himself laying in bed, awake, too tired to fall asleep. He finally decided to get up, get dressed, and maybe go do something useful. At the ungodly hour that he ventured out, the most useful thing he could think to do was sweep the front porch. It gave him time to get some fresh, to clear his head. Once the sun had risen, Isam made his way over to his closest friend's home. Omar was usually who he went to talk to when things got rough. He knew the things Isam was forced to live with, and he somehow always knew what to say to him. The man's home was almost all the way across the city, which was fine with Isam. The walk was peaceful and refreshing. He kept his hands in the front pockets on his jacket as he walked along, halfway dazed with exhaustion. Maybe he should sleep soon.

Shaylly was always awake an hour before the sun rose. By now her internal alarm clock woke her up 90% of the time. She set the alarm on her watch just thereafter for those days she needed an extra kick out of bed. The morning was her refuge from all that was not right with their planet. It was quiet, calm, a peace that allowed her mind to wander freely without the burden of the usual negative thoughts. Shay tried to focus on the positive but she was also a realist and didn't want to fool herself on things that were not or never would be. She was grateful for finding a home in the Paradise Land, grateful for what Mother had provided for everyone. Shay was even more grateful to be able to serve the city with her knwoledge in fitness and nutrition and more recently aerial support. But she didn't think this was all that was left of their lives. She always wondered what else was out there beyond their sanctuary. Perhaps there were other safe havens created by other leaders. The radioactive hell hole that was now Earth, a rotting planet that gave more death than life, had created beings beyond human. It was as if Earth knew it was dying and was using the radio active trash it was dealt with to produce super evolved beings to survive and keep it alive. Her mind always raced on these fanatical thoughts. She had no proof it was right or wrong. They had very little communication with the outside world, or what was left of it. When she had the chance to fly on her own she wondered what she might do to feed her curiosity.

Shay was out her door 30 minutes before the sun would begin to rise. She was wearing dark sweats, a grey tank and a black hooded jacket; around her neck, as always since she arrived, she wore her brothers flying goggles. The goggles were given to Shane by a friend of theirs, who happened to be a pilot. Shane fell in love with all things flying and would pretend to fly around, his arms stretched out, his face covered by the large goggles. Shay smiled to herself with the memories.

Shay was keeping a 7.0 pace, her hands gloved, the hood of her jacket lying low over her brow and shielding her face. She enjoyed her privacy and solitude. In her ears were her ear buds, music pounding with a heavy beat as she kept a strong pace. Her heart was beating hard but steady, sweat glistening on her brow. She trained every day and this was only the beginning of her fitness routine. She worked hard to serve this city that protected her, helping to keep it strong and free from the Dead. Today she would get to test fly one of the few fighter jets on her own, having just finished all training and course materials needed for the position.

Her mind wandered as usual, her eyes looking down, mostly to avoid catching the eyes of others for fear of being pulled in to some unwanted conversation. She turned a corner, and as her mind raced, she unknowingly picked up her pace. Shay turned the next corner and entered the main street; with her eyes still adverted down she didn't see Isam walking down the normally empty street. At this hour most people were still in bed or barely waking up to start their day. Shaylly crashed in to the side of Isam with full force, not having seen him coming in her way for even a moment. She rebounded back, her head snapping up to look at what she hit as she stumbled from the blow. She almost lost her balance but regained it quickly enough, grabbing a light pole on her right to steady herself. She looked to Isam, breathing hard, having to catch her breath from both her run and from running in to him. "What the hell man? Would you watch where you're going?" She snapped at him. Her hair was pulled back in a loose pony tail, her bangs messily covering the sides of her face and brow. Steel brown eyes glared accusingly at him through her bangs that were just as dark.

:.People Say.:
Shay is strong-willed and stubborn. She hates being told what to do and will follows her own ideas, even if they break the social norm or even society rules. Shay is quiet and reserved, unless provoked. Her emotions are unstable and when she gets upset she reacts in full force. Shay is a smart individual but reacts to intense situations usually before she can think clearly. She has a hard time giving her full trust to anyone. Shay can come across as arrogant and unkind but she mostly puts up an undesirable front to keep people form getting close to her.

:.The Past Was.:
Shay grew up with her parents in California, surviving near the coast line in what was left over of the Newport Beach city. All she ever knew was survival. Her father and mother were simple people, both teachers helping to educate the children of the area. But their survival tactics were limited and they could not teach Shaylly or her brother Shane how to defend themselves or attack properly. Their city was infiltrated with the Dead and while Shay and Shane managed to escape, their parents were not so lucky and were killed.

Shaylly heard of people talking about a sort of Paradise Land, a place for refuge, peace, and a more normal existence. Shay desperately wanted to protect her brother, so she and Shane began their journey towards what they hoped would be their new and safer home. During their journey though, Shane fell sick. Shay did not have the proper medicine to help him heal, nor could they reach anyone that could help in time. Shane ended up dying in Shay's arms. Shay cried for hours, holding on to her brother's lifeless body. She didn't let go of him until she could no longer feel the warmth of his body. Once Shane felt cold and stiff in her arms, Shay could finally accept and let go, both physically and emotionally, accepting her loss. Shane had loved the idea of flying and had always wanted to fly a plane. He loved the freedom of the wind in his face and wished he could soar through the clouds. Looking over his dead body, Shay promised him she would fly for him. She took the goggles he wore from around his neck and put them over hers. They became her last physical reminder of her brother, her family.

Shay eventually made it to the Promise land. She began to increase her physical abilities and had been learning to fly. She wanted to control a plane herself and take her brother in spirit on the ride.

:.What You See.:


:.Behind The Scenes.:
Shay has a thick and long scar that runs down her right arm from her escape from the beach area. The scar is barely seen through the intricate string of tattoo markings that weave from the top of her shoulder all the way down her arm, stopping 3 inches above her elbow.
