Okay, made the announcement in chat but didn't want it to get lost in the mix. I have updated the original OOC. I have updated the deaths, the locations, and such. I have also added in a lot of hiders in the post so hopefully it will be easier to navigate and you won't have to scroll as much to find the information you need. Hopefully it looks alright. If you have any issues or if I missed something, please let me know and I will get right on that.

Sum up your week in roleplaying in just 3 words

No more nice.

Funeral Home: Ryan smirked "No that means you are a cop in another state. Doesn't give you jurisdiction here lass and even if it did, doesn't mean I grant you permission to help with this," he said before popping a toothpick back in his mouth. His grin was wide as he looked at her before taking the paper back and shoving them in his back pocket. "Yeah, sis, let's take care of this, mom and pop know, told them to stay home. Wasn't having their asses here," he said towards Riley as he began to walk to the other room.

David seemed a bit less on edge now that things seemed to be calming down. Motioning towards the room and following in step. That was until the door burst open and a very tall broad shouldered blonde came rushing in the front door. "Ryan! Ryan! There's thith scary clown!" he was ragging on about. Ryan stopped in his tracks and ran over to the man, putting an arm around him.

"It's okay, calm down Cyril. Cyril shit, listen, ain't no damn clown out there. I keep telling you, come on," he said, comforting the obviously distraught man. He nodded nervously and glanced over his shoulder as Ryan kicked the door shut. "Come on man, hey, see this pretty lady, this is Chloes sister, Riley."

Cyril looked over and sniffled up his tears, grinning but obviously still scared. "My sister now?"

"Yeah man, your sister now," Ryan chuckled. Cyril got a goofy look and walked straight over to Riley and gave her a loving bear hug from hell, lifting her feet off the ground.

The Farm: "Thank you ma'am, if you remember anything else, please give me a call," the officer said as he handed over his card. The other two were done about the same time and heading out of the house. Zoie and Relic hadn't come out yet. Just kind of standing in the main room by the door as they watched the officers heading down the stairs and back to the scene. It seemed that things were put out and that more was going on.

Turning Zoie headed up the stairs, saying something to Relic about changing. He just nodded and stepped back out on the porch, over to Mali. "Can't locate the phone," he said. Then he grew stone cold as a body bag was brought out of the burned out barn on a stretcher. "Oh shit..." he muttered under his breath before giving a sideways glance over towards Mali. "It could have been someone else, I mean, lot of shit going down, doesn't have to mean it was Marc in that barn..." he said, it sounded like he was trying to convince himself more than he was trying to convince Mali as he spoke.

Port Annan: There was a sickness climbing in the pit of her stomach as she stepped off the boat. She didn't know if it had been time on the water or the fact that she was now no longer in England. Yet, Millicent was feeling ill either way and she figured it was a bit of both as she walked down the gangplank arm in arm with her fiance and his friend stepping in time behind them. She didn't know what she had been expecting when they arrived but this town a bit lower class than she would have thought they would dock at, yet they had fled one town for another in the middle of the night.

"You two go ahead and go to the tavern, I'll secure us a carriage out of here," Lord Egerton said as his feet terra firma. Rutherford nodded as the man walked off at an advanced pace.

"Let's get something to eat my dear," Richard said with a broad cheeky grin towards Millicent. The woman felt like doing a lot of things right then, eating was not one of them, yet she bit her tongue and simply nodded. Taking a deep breath she gathered the folds of her damp gown and began to walk towards the Inn.

England

London: Ludwig leaned back slightly, swaying and seeming like he was about to fall over after watching someone get their head blown out but he snapped to and straightened eventually. Pushing his glasses up from the tip of his nose. "Cobblewinchester Muffin, had to be. You see how his brain just spontaneously erupted? Yes, had to be, check that gray matter my good man, should you see little slimy one in gray pieces, it will confirm," the German said as he pulled out his journal and started drawing in it. His secondary journal, not his first.

Seemed Vlad had a plane and it got Ludwigs attention even if he hadn't looked up from his journal. He was still drawing. A sketch here, a line there, smudge it here to show better the shadows and detail, open the trunk, get things out of the trunk, draw some more, shove weapon in bag, look out Dieter, the ferret not his brother, dead body wouldn't fit in a bag. Take the bag off, Dieter in the bag, the Ferret, not his brother. Close book, shove in bag. Hand bag over and grin. Happy, not mad. Never mad. "Um, right, carry this," he said as he shoved the bag in Vlads hand. There was a thin lipped nervous grin before *poof* and in a flash the man shrunk down, his finger fluttering. Flutter this way and that. Lift, off the ground, up up and away. There we go, into the bag. Next to Dieter. His ferret not his brother. "Yes, yes, this will work. Faster, won't weight down. Yes, good and too small for Cobblewinchester Muffins to bother me now. Come might steed, let us enjoy the world fly by!"

The Sea: Fyror is having no luck, well maybe he actually is because death is not claiming him this round. That being said, he is tired, the waves are cutting high, the sea seems to be trying to down him and Collette. Him more than Collette as the waved pull him under, something wrapping around his ankle and dragging him towards Davy Jones Locker. He can't hold onto to the fair maiden but that is probably a good thing, for both of them.

Collette will feel something come up behind her, wrapping around her waist and dragging her back but her head is above water. She is moving at a fast rate, cutting the water, her shoulders coming up out of the water as she is drug. Faster and faster until she reaches the large sailing ship. "Hold on, I got ya," a deep voice comes from behind her before spinning her around. A man grins at her before she is grabbed from behind and lifted out of the water, passed from hands to hands until her feet are planted firmly on the deck of the large ship.

"Get her a blanket!" another man yells as the first starts climbing up the rope netting on the side of the ship. Below the waves, Fyror is still being drug down. That is until something cuts away whatever it is that has his leg and a face flashes in the dark water from the lightning above. He grabs Fyror under the shoulders and starts swimming beyond quickly to the surface until they break it.

"Breath boy!" he yells.

The Road North: The storm kept ragging and as they rode closer to the white smoke it became clear, they would have to move off course to check it out. It was deeper in the woods than it had first appeared. It was going to come down to another choice. Keep heading north and stay on the path or head east some and check it out. Maybe it was nothing and it would only hold them up a few minutes. Maybe it was more and hold them up for hours. Or maybe it was something else that could completely derail everything and put them on an entirely new path that would have nothing to do with either.

Rule Reminder: I announced this in chat - I am reiterating here. You are NOT allowed to edit your posts without first getting permission from the GM. To do so Null and Voids your post. (Means your previous counter is still running, it means your post will be deleted by a mod, it means that you cannot reuse the post or the rolls, it means you start back at square 1, it means you will be kicked if you have gone over on your previous post when I catch it and I will catch it.) - This is your one and only one warning.

And on one more note: It is in the rules to check chat daily - people are not because they are missing announcements - check chat daily. You don't have to speak to anyone but you do have to check for messages. I will not be putting announcements here for much longer and it will be Discord only like with my other Rps.

@Remipa Awesome Oh hun... you gotta stream line. Keep a copy for yourself but seriously - this is too much. Like Alias I just want a name - languages - just list them. Same for hobbies, likes, dislikes - 1-2 words to tell me what it is not a chapter out of a book for each >.> I was hoping after Rping Manny for a bit you would cut back during character gen so let it go last time but I cannot do it again lol I adore you but NO.

Things that need to get cut down:
Alias: Just names
Location at time of outbreak: EXACT City
Languages: Just list, if not fluent - 1 word next to it to tell me fluency level
Habits: Just list out quickly 1-2 WORDS per Habit ~bites nails~ for example
Hobbies: Same
Fear: Same
Likes: Same
Dislikes: Same
Cards on Table: LEAVE AS IS - IS PERFECT
History: Leave as is, works great
Extras: Fix that color code to work as I had it. ><!!! I am looking for headers that should be color coded and you took them out - NO, nope, fix it.

Cut it down and then I will review it again.

That and you are missing something - check the rules.

October 31st, 1943 - Wash, Rinse, Repeat

---

---

Round 3 of 5 completed and at the end of it, Evelina conducted a little meeting before the beginning of round four. Checking in and handing out some reminders. "When we time jump, we are to do NOTHING to draw attention to ourselves. Please remember this, do nothing that would be out of place for the time. What we do can create a butterfly effect. Even if we are not seen, damaging the land, leaving pollutants in the air that would not normally occur, killing for no reason, this can throw off what would have happened in the future. Our job is to protect, not put in jeopardy, the past, present, and future, as best we could. Do not allow yourselves to become the very thing we are fighting again. The Destruere destroy not only by killing and destruction but by making small changes that have larger effects later on. Now, onto new matters..."

It was the end of four months and time to start anew. Paradoxes were shifted to new trainers. As per last round, we are breaking this down into 2 parts. Part 1 - Skills. Part 2 - Next Round. This will be round 4 of 5.

Skills: Here are the skills your characters picked up over the last 4 months of training. The dice came up as 4 months for the last round as they did before.

You have 48 hours from this post to edit your Cs. Copy and paste your new skills into place under skills if you have new ones to add. I would make sure you get these in post haste. If it turns out you received a skill your character already learned, well, you are out of luck - just means you got more training in it. Place a * next to it. If you got a new Language - place it under Native Languages.

Cases: Now, time to rinse and repeat, again. Round three of five. Clean cup, clean cup, clean cup, move down, move down, move down.

As a reminder - remember as trainers, change to meet each character - so review their current Cs and their characters Cs from before. It will help.

*This is a repeat message from before but it still holds true.
Now, you have 10 days to get your case done. Once counter hits 11, you are over. So keep that in mind. I suggest you collab these out in PM with each other or on Si to make things easier than trying to post back and forth. At the end of this case I will post again, and again, until every character has gotten a decent amount of training. At the end of each Case, once it is posted and I have reviewed it, I will roll to see what skills ~stuck~, if secondary abilities came forth, the amount of control you gained, and so forth. This is going to allow us to cover a lot of time and Rping quickly. Once Training is done, then you will go on to full assignments.

The day will start like any other day at Camp, weather is the same, layout is the same. No need to worry about much to start. Letters are left and slipped under your room doors on where to go come morning instructing you to meet your trainer at the starting location. A bell will toll over the grounds at 5:50 AM to start the day, time to be at the starting location will be listed as 6:00 AM. Start your posts waking up OR there, however you wish.

Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor. (I will be pming my students shortly.)
