🦄 Deeper Than The Sands - Merged With T.S.

Time Jump: Alright, we are going to move things along. I am resetting counter for this RP as of now. The characters that need to leave are.

• Lauren
• Josephine
• Mosi
• Mahendra
• Nora

Looking at the characters room and board locations. It makes the most sense for the following characters to go together.

• Garden City:
  • Josephine
  • Nora
• Shepheards Hotel
  • Mahendra
  • Mosi

Lauren doesn't have anyone at her hotel - so I say Reginald goes with her to keep the pairings up. Only 1 stop, right back and then Lauren can help the Lord Major get things in order.

This is going to be a case file as it were. Pm me if you need any direction but other wise, just enjoy the collab - get your characters from the barracks, to get their things and back. Once we do that, I will move us to the ship to get us boarded and we can finally, after 2 years, get underway. LOL

(Those with Backup characters - don't worry. I have a plan. If you want to bring them in now, pm me and we can talk it out. If you want to wait longer, we can as well. I have several option to bring them in AFTER we get the whole crew to the boat and then beyond there.)

It seemed that things were starting to get ready to move. Vera was trying to remain focused and not think about what all that had happened outside of the academic aspect of it. Letting her mind wander to anything else was not a good idea right then. Snuffing out the cigarette she took a steadying breath. Leave the barracks, retrieve her things from the museum and the hotel, return here, load up, go to docks, board ship, leave Cairo. Simple right? Yes, make a plan, one foot in front of the other, just follow the steps. It was simple procedure. Nothing more.

"I am sure you are more than up to the task Uncle. I shall return in," she said looking at her watch and them grimacing. She had a lot to do and take care of having to ensure she cleared out two full locations. She would need her books, her notes, clothing might also be a good idea. "Oh dear, this might take longer than I anticipated."

"Mmm, can I help?" George asked as he walked back into the room. "Lord Major, mmmm trunk in courtyard," he said before looking back over at Vera.

"Oh um, yes. Please, that would be wonderful," she said and George nodded. After a few moments discussion between them things were worked out. They would go in pairs. George was adamant about going with Vera. He knew it would have been what Peter had wanted and it was why he had said he would remain here to help. For Peter.

The two left the barracks, a single guard going with them. George hoped he wouldn't be needed, the guard, but it was better to have a second set of eyes with him, especially considering George didn't have a full set himself. The two would go to Hotel first and then the museum. Vera let Lauren know she would make sure the cat was tended to since she had to go there anyways. No reason for her to have to make a second trip. Instructions were left for Nora, Mosi, and Mahendra about getting their things and returning back to the barracks post haste.

"Miss Clark, could you take this too them? While the soldiers here are good at guarding, I wouldn't trust anyone but you to be able to persuade them to hurry things along and convey the importance of such a taste with a guard at their side. If anyone can get their attention, I believe it would be you. I would just fumble and break something," Vera said handing over a slip of paper she had written things down on. Not that she believed a script of any sort would be needed. Josephine had demonstrated a knack of remembering things others would forget. Yet sometimes having a signature of someone else helped, or at least she hoped it would.

Vera and George left quickly, with a guard in tow. The three hailing a taxi outside of the barracks and climbing in, the driver instructed to head to the hotel for Vera to retrieve her things.

No Pm's are going out this round. The train is moving us from the Gate to the Front of Shadowell Manor. The image of the front of the manor is provided in the original OOC. A small image is provided below so you know where the train is relative to the manor. Please note there will be a heck of a jerk when it starts moving and once again when it stops. It will also be very hard to speak or be heard during this - the engine is louder while moving. Not to mention the cold is going to increase because of the wind. It will move at top speed this time of around 15 miles per hour. So there is wind chill factor now. It will take a few minutes to get to the manor and stop.

The Letter "A" is closest to the house, the Letter "Z" is the furthest away from it.

The glass of water that was requested was ignored. It wasn't as if they were going to keep the rest of the guests there to rush back to the very manor they were about to be taken to just to bring back a glass of water. It would take twice as long to get the glass of water as it would to get them to the manor. From the look of things, everyone was seated and ready and there was nothing holding them back now. The newest arrival was there and it was time to head out.

Yet that would have to wait a moment. It seemed that one would not be joining them. He had moved away from Chair 11 before and had not yet taken a seat back now that the chairs had transformed into a long bench. Moving he had a word with Cassius quietly. Cassius rose a brow but shrugged and had the gate opened. He left quickly and without another word. Taking a moment to wait for the gate to be locked once again Cassius turned his attention over to Owen.

"Owen," Cassius said from the back of his horse. The man nodded and the engine sped up. The machine started going in reverse, pushing the line of what was once chairs backwards and down the long path that was lined on each side with thick trees. It was impossible to see past them considering there was no more day light and the evening light was even darker than normal as clouds were covering the sky above. The machine ran smoothly over the tracks and slowly the large manor came into view. The guards riding along side it with the dogs jogging along with them.

It was quite the sight. Old, made of gray marble and stone. An imposing looking structure, it was nearly two wide at the front and stood nearly fifty feet tall with rows of windows lit up from behind thin curtains. At the top of the stairs that lead to the front door stood a tall thin man with slicked back salt and pepper hair in an ornately designed suit. His pasty skin enhanced with the back lighting from the lanterns on either side of the door behind him. On the balcony above him stood a tiny sight all of white. Hair, skin, clothing, mask, and little wings. It watched from above at the train as it stopped.

"Welcome to Ambeshire Manor. The Lord of the manor wishes to speak to you," the man said as he seemed to stare them down from his position above them.

9/25/2018: Rper has been removed for going over counter - I will handle the character removing themselves from scene in my next update that will be up within the hour.

Looking for Anime that a mom would like

Well I am a mother and one of my all time favorite series is Witch Hunter Robin. Rather tame compared to a lot of animes I have enjoyed over the years. Not really a main stream one but hey it might be on those services. Sadly it was cut short but I would adore if it came back. (It won't but I love it none the less.)

Team Swamp - Okefenokee Swamps, Georgia<br>9/25/18 Update

Weather sucks - There is a heard of walkers that have Erica in their sights behind her but a bit off. There is one coming at her from the front. Wayne's post for rest.

Description: Cloudy
Temperature: 85°F (29°C)
Humidity: Fucking High
Wind Speed: 10 mph (16 kph)
Light Wind: A gentle breeze, having little or no game effect.

Team Newnan - Headland, Alabama<br>9/25/18 Update

Everyone but 2 are in the Hordebuster. Doesn't matter, the Hordebuster just DIED. All these years and the radiator just cracked wide open.... RIP Hordebuster.

Description: Heavy Rain
Temperature: 87°F
Humidity: High
Wind Speed: 20 mph - changes directions
Rain: The rain is hard and sheeting right now. It is nearly impossible to hear outside and some thunder and lightning is starting to kick in. Winds are picking up as well.

Team Eden - Quincy, Florida <br>9/25/18 Update

Map is updated - Check Thana's post.
Description: Windy
Humidity: Low
Temperature: 84°F (28°C)
Wind Speed: 26 mph (41 kph)
Strong Wind: Strong gusts of wind, it is going to make things hard of hearing. Such gusts automatically extinguish candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames. Small animals and objects are going to get blown around a lot and hard. This is a former construction site for a new neighborhood before the outbreak so that means bits of wood, broken bricks and rocks, nails, and the like are getting kicked up and blown around. This is going to get dicey fast. The wind came out of no where.

Thana heard Manny but she was focused on the task at hand. (Ha, see what I did there? Even Thana has a sense of humor.) "Come on..." she said quietly and then there was the sound of a whirling motor in the garage. HOLY BUTTERED FUCKING BISCUITS! IT WORKED!" Thana screamed. It wasn't like the woman to yell. It wasn't like the woman to slip into a deep southern accent. It wasn't like Thana to use a phrase reminiscent of Black James. Yet she did all three and she had damn good reason to do it. What she had bet everything, a hail mary pass as it were, had just paid off in spades.

Rushing out of the garage, she came out. She had something large in each hand and it was hard to tell because of her running and everything going on but once she reached the table she dropped one thing on the ground. It was attached to the other with a rednecked rigged set of wires. Handing over a Circular power saw to Manny she nodded to him. "Ready to cut when you are doc," she said as she slammed both her elbows down into Thalia's shoulders, pressing her hands down across the womans chest and leaning over her.

Bea, straddle her and pin those fucking legs!" Thana had never been a grappler but she had a hell of grip considering her abilities when it came to close combat fighting and free climbing. She intended to use them. Thalia's shoulders and arms were not going to move during this. Thana pinned her hard and took a deep breath. "You hold the fuck still, that's an order or I'll knock you the fuck out," she said in a flat voice before kissing her on the tip of the nose and smirking.

Wayne jogged back to the truck and got his shit before looking at ol' Sportecus. "I got a yellow brick road to follow," he said and smirked as he started jogging down the road a bit. He was high as a kite right then, running off adrenaline and rocks being gotten off. "No shit we ain't in Kansas anymore, when the fuck you ever been in Kansas?" he said swatting at the air. It looked like he grabbed something and shoved it into his pack but it was nothing but air. "That ought to shut your bucktoothed ass up for a bit." He was laughing and seemed rather happy right then.

Turning around he kept walking but backwards now as he looked back at the others. "You just pissed those winged nuts are getting more action in twenty fours than we have combined in the last five years," Wayne chuckled. He stopped and eyed Robert for a moment. "Unless you can fart enough to fill the tank, it ain't going anywhere. OUT OF GAS!" he yelled while throwing his hands up in the air.

Spinning back around he started strutting down the road. Then he started singing to himself, god it was really off key. Some people call me the space cowboy yeah. Some call me the gangster of love. Some people call me Maurice. 'Cause I speak of the pompitous of love. People talk about me baby. Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong. Well don't you worry baby, don't worry. 'Cause I'm right here at home. 'Cause I'm a picker, I'm a grinner, I'm a lover, and I'm a sinner playin' my music in the sun. I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a mid-night toker, I get my lovin' on the run. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh."

Hair falling over her shoulders, Amaranthine sharply looked out straight in front of her as she felt someone sit down next to her. Her large cinnamon eyes wide as she remained bent and hunched over, clutching the items resting in her lap. She had but a moment ago sat down and there was no one even within spitting distance of her. Now there was someone. A blink of the eye and they were focused to her left. She spotted the bare hands holding a sketch book and drawing utensil. Another blink and her head tilted just enough to see the mask covering half his face. Her eyes flickered some what but she nodded in agreement. "If you desire so, I am not one to stop you." Her words seemed to hold a staccato rhythm to them as she spoke.

While her attention was towards the man whose mask extended to nearly brushing the back of her shoulder, she felt another come close and sit down. Her head turning sharply and looking over towards him. Still ever remaining hunched over. This one in white with a black mask. Her hear turned back to the first, black with a white mask. Slowly she pushed herself up and sat straight backed in her seat, hair falling over her shoulders as her fingers curled over the case in her lap. It was a stark contrast to the silver of the mask. A chill ran up her back and she shivered violently as a cloud of breath rose up from her lips, that wear painted the color of dark spices, as they parted.

October 31st, 1943 - Darkness Sets In

---

---

Evelina got darker and darker as the days ran into weeks and then turned into months. Five months of it. Thing was she didn't push any harder, in fact she was barely phoning it in. Her mind elsewhere. Each day she took them and trained them. Fighting, language. Different times and places. Always alone. Always away from anyone else they could interact with. Each evening she would get together with the other trainers like she had before. Instead of her usual break down she would inform her fellow trainers she had nothing new to report. She never bothered to tell them what happened in Club Afterdark. They could go find out if they wished.The last day of training, Evelina hugged both Faith and Bart and walked to her room. Locking the door behind her. She refused to answer it. Training was over.

Next morning, same as always each paradox would find a note at their door, Emendators and Elder Paradox did as well - Report to the Study

Skills: Here are the skills your characters picked up over the last month of training. The dice came up as 5 months for the last round.

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.

Also, we have relations to update and Trainers, you have your PM. Relations get 7 day counter from today to update. Remember, this is not discussion but pure character gut feeling. Please, for the love of your characters drop your personal feelings off before you do this.... (Relations MUST be done before you post - if you post before relations are done it is null and void.)

Alicia Gonzalez

Location: Ville au Camp - Main House - Room 102: Library/Study
Skills: Empathy

Stepping into the room, Alicia made her first appearance in sometime. She had been on mission and returned late the night before. Reporting into Evelina as per the norm. What wasn't the norm was the fact that the first morning after training people finished it was not Evelina addressing the group as a whole for summations and reviews. It was Alicia. Looking through a stack of paper the girl seemed really out of her element. "Fuck, okay. Um, four month, four month, one month, five months. So that's um. Shit. Math. Fifteen months of training. Four Emendators, one elder paradox... Damn."

Dropping the paper, she picked them up again and then finally found the one she was looking for. "Okay, right here we are. Training is done. You are supposed to go on missions now. Um, that isn't happening. At least not for a fucking week. Last order I was given was that everyone was to take a week off before you were sent out. Something about fucking down time." Putting the paper down Alicia looked at each of the Paradoxes and Emendators slowly. "No fucking wonder. Right, weeks break."

Shuffling back through the disorganized stack on the desk she picked up the smaller envelopes. "Right, these are normally read out loud but I had a damn look at them and you don't want this shit public." Walking over to each of the Paradoxes in turn, Alicia handed over an envelope. On it were two words - Personal Reviews "Right, you will want to read these. I suggest you do it alone. I'll be here to talk if ya need it, chances are you will. Don't think you can do it alone for fucks sake."

Walking over to the Emendators and the elder Paradox Alicia rubbed her face. "Um, she left... Last night." Looking around Alicia crossed her hands over her chest, her hips swaying left and right a bit as she rocked from one boot to another. "And I can't find the bitch on the vid. It's like, the channel was canceled?" Alicia said, not being able to figure out a better way to phrase it. Pulling a folded up sheet of paper out of her back pocket she handed it over to the first one of the Emendators or Elder Paradox that wanted to take it.

Belladonna didn't even try, she just stood there and placed a single red finger nail to the side of her mouth. "Oh dear..."

(Pm's coming short about those envelopes and such.)
