After the End

@Potter I could see things like Telekinesis working if severely limited.

@RokkuHoshi

Hmm. We're going for more of the genetic mutation type of thing. I guess it could possibly work but what is the fun if it's limited?

__________________________________________________________________________

"Jason makes me feel like all he cares about is my good looks."Alex joked, turning to yell at Jason, "My eyes are up here you pervert!"

Jason chuckled and winked at him, "With a rack like that, how can I glance away?"

Alex teasingly made a face at him. He embraced Shay back and held her at arms length to look at her. She looked as gorgeous as she always did. How did she even end up with a doofus like him? "Look at you! You look amazing!"He twirled her gently around and hugged her again, "How are you so perfect? Can you teach me?" Stroking her hair, he smiled at her, "Your boobear is doing fantastic. I love you."

"Oh my God!"Rose's exclamation rang through the room. He turned to glance over at her as she hugged James,"You are so handsome and cute and perfect and adorable and great and-"She had gently taken in his face in his hands and was going on a string of compliments until Jason came over to cover her mouth. He shrieked soon after and moved away, taking his hand off.

"Ew! You licked my hand!"Jason cried. She giggled at him and stuck out her tongue. She threw her arms around James neck, going up on her tippy toes to reach it. James seemed a little more freaked out about this than the average shy kid. He was clenching his fists and he looked afraid a man with a chainsaw was about to jump out. Rose seemed to have noticed too and she was planting a kiss on his cheek every so often and hugging him. She was whispering reassurances in his ear as well. Was this about those guys they all saw earlier? Alex decided he should stay close to Shay tonight. He was sure James would have fun once he got there.

They all left momentarily after. Alex arrived to the party with his arm around Shay. Music so loud blasted through the room he could feel the bass vibrating under his feet. There were tons of people here already, all packed into one suite. The balcony doors were wide open and kids were packed out there too.
There were people playing video games on the couch and board games on the floor. Others were dancing by the stereo. However, he was pretty sure everyone was drunk and it wasn't as innocent as it looked. Rose immediately had started to sing along to the song loudly, swinging James arms.

Jason walked in front of them suddenly and looked at James and Rose. "Rosaline, my beautiful friend, take care of my brother for me. There are cute girls waving to me in the corner. Don't leave him alone." He darted over to a pair of giggling girls in the corner, putting his arms around them.

"That didn't take long."Rose said with a sigh and hugged James side, staying with him despite some people calling her name to get her to come over. "You guys want drinks? "

"Yeah can you put some rum in a coke for me?"Alex asked. He planned on getting tipsy for fun but no further. He glanced at Shay, knowing she probably had other plans. He wanted to make sure he could look out for her and take care of her if she got drunk.

Alcina

__________________________________________________________________________

"I don't know. "Alcina replied to Ariana. She wasn't so sure she trusted this but what else could it be? It didn't even state the location of the event. She read over the letter a few times, a bad feeling forming in the pit of her stomach. However, Ariana had never gotten an award like this before. She'd be so excited. "We usually get told a lot in advance but I'm guessing it was supposed to be last year and it was cancelled. Let's check with Liam maybe?"

After the End

Both accepted! Great job guys!@Dephyus@SkankingDevil

"Sass you off? Is she crazy?" Xander replied with disbelief and yelled over the laughter, "What an ungrateful little brat! I'll beat her." He stormed over to Amelia while she was cooking, nodding to Perenelle's invitation distractedly. "I'll be the one to whip you if you keep being a smart-ass. We've given you a roof, safety and usually even let you eat. That's more than most people have nowadays. Hell, you live in a mansion. What is your fucking problem?" Xander had been consumed with the anger of someone disrespecting Perenelle. She gave everyone so much and barely asked for anything.

However, the more he glanced down at her, the more her youth became more obvious to him. She seemed to morph into a tiny little girl with short blonde hair in his mind for a short moment. TiaHe thought with a heart lurch. This girl was as old as Tia probably would be now if she was alive. He softened a bit and glanced over his shoulder to see Perenelle and the others had gone to the dining room. Looking back at Amelia, he gently put his hand over her shoulder. "Look, kid. I get it. There's probably other people you rather be with right now and you must think we're the bad guys but that's just not true. The White Wolf took me in when I had no one like she did for so many others. I don't know how you ended up here but I'm sure she helped you too. Just try to cut the crap and show some respect okay? I'll make sure she lets you eat tonight if you show her respect." He let go of her shoulder and moved into the dining room to sit with Perenelle, grinning at her.

Amelia brought his and Perenelle's plates out first. He glanced down at his then over at hers. The food looked pretty good. She had done a pretty good job for a kid. However, there was one thing wrong. She had noticeably given Perenelle less food than him. He watched her serve the rest of the table, noticing everyone else had more food too. This kid really does have a death wish. He thought to himself. He considered putting some of his food on her plate when she wasn't looking but they were sitting right next to each other. It would never work.

Adelaide

_____________________________________________________________________

"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty..."

There it is. Adelaide thought with annoyance as she pressed herself up against a tree. The bark was digging in through her thin jacket uncomfortably and she was fighting not to reposition herself. She had to stay as still as possible. There were at least three male voices in the area, trying to draw her out with stupid lines that wouldn't work on a five year old. She supposed these were the people who set the hut on fire. They were too close to pick off with a bow without giving away her location. Guns were not an option obviously. She took out a dagger and stole a glance behind the tree, managing to catch one of them in sight. It was a relatively young man with a gun. She wasn't savvy enough with guns to pick out what kind of gun it was.

"What's she look like, mate?" A voice coming from the right questioned. She glanced in the direction and inched more behind hte tree.

"Little girl or something. She looked maybe sixteen or so. Should be an easy kill. Looked like she had a lot of shit in her bag. " A voice from the left direction answered.

Adelaide grabbed the dagger and positioned it facing outward. There was a clear path to the left and he sounded the closest. This was her chance. She waited until he was in her line of vision to suddenly dart out from hiding. She slashed him hard and deep into his side as she passed, making him yell out in shock. She kept running, leaves noisily crunching under her. Gunshots reverberated through the air as bullets whizzed passed her. The three males were yelling now but she was too focused on running to try to figure out what they were saying. She heard distant footsteps from another direction. Adelaide had no idea if they were with the males but it was quite possible the fire could have attracted others.

The mansion doors loudly burst open as a group of ten men piled in. Three were carrying dead deers, and a couple were carrying clothes and weapons they had gathered. The black haired man came in last, dragging a gorgeous sparkly gown. His black mask stood out amongst the sea of grey ones. The details of his mask were that of an rather menacing wolf. His vivid blue eyes stood out from the eye holes as they searched the foyer. The smell of chicken cooking made him turn and make his way toward the kitchen. His group followed.

"Let me do the talking boys. Tonight we'll have a grand feast and tomorrow we will head into New York. The white wolf will be pleased with what we've come back with." Xander was always careful never to tell them her name. They had all decided they had to prove themselves worthy of learning the higher ups names. They had been calling him black wolf and just today he had revealed his name to be Xander to them. It would take a lot more effort to learn the her name though. They owed her everything. They had it better than anyone in the world right now.

Xander finally found her as she was entering the kitchen. Her beautiful red hair was tied in a ponytail. She was so kind and gorgeous. There was nothing wrong he could find about her. Sure, to some, the wolves were cruel for their killing but this was a world without law and governed by nature now. Nature's only law is survival of the fittest. Perenelle was more than kind for taking so many people into one of the only standing mansions. It was remarkable just how unharmed it was.

"My lady. We've brought gifts."Xander announced to her. The group had surrounded her with the gifts. They were all down on one knee respectfully except for Xander. "We've got three more deers, lots of clothes, a couple more guns, a working radio, 2 working jeeps and a truck." He then presented the gown to her, "And I found you a dress that is almost as beautiful as you." His eyes traveled to Amelia as he awaited her response. He was surprised they had found a use for the child. She hadn't any skill with a weapon so they had given her cleaning and cooking duties. There was maybe one or two more younger ones they had captured and allowed to survive. He had planned to train them to be strong, loyal wolves for Perenelle. Amelia was one of them. He had not got around to training her yet since everyone seemed to enjoy her as the cook. He was debating on just making that her permanent role.

Empowered!!! (Closed)!

"Your parents are dead."

Lucy had dropped the phone that morning upon hearing those words. She had been sitting on Luke's couch, wondering where he had gone off to. It took a moment for them to register before she picked the phone back up with a shaking hand.

"If you don't start working for me, then Uncle Frank's next. I'll kill them all without no issue, princess and then finally I'll kill you."

"Who... Who is this?"Lucy asked in disbelief. No way were they dead. However, as Lucy went through her phone, she found she was getting numerous text messages from family and friends back at home about her parents being murdered. Her eyes watered and she covered her mouth in shock. She had no idea what she had gotten into until this moment. This wasn't a game.

"We'll meet soon."The voice simply replied and hung up.

Lucy gathered her things and motioned over the dog as she left the apartment. She called a cab, realizing she needed to probably stay as low as possible from now on to avoid confrontation with this man. Once the cab arrived, she smashed her phone on the ground, breaking it. Then she got inside the car.

After the End

So I was thinking "How would Lawrence react to one of the Gang leaders showing up at the Statue?" Aparently it doesn't go well, if this drawing is to be believed.

@chukklehed

LOL

@Potter quick question if I may: Is Amelia the only one assigned to cooking and cleaning?

@Joshua Tamashii

We don't have anyone else with that position right now but there's possibly more.

After the End

All good guys. Potter isn't feeling well and will be back as soon as she's better.

After the End

Name: Sarah (It's all she remembers)

Age: 27

Gender: Female

Nomadic or sedentary: Sedentary

Weapons: A crudely made, but sturdy 3' long sword and a crudely made Warhammer.

Skills: Farming

Any unusual traits? Does it show physically?: She a giantess, compared to the average person, so yes that shows. Her intelligence has also stagnated in most places between 7yrs old and 12 years old.

Appearance: Standing at 9'8" tall Sarah is the tallest person she and everyone she has met is aware of. She has shoulder length brunette hair generally worn down or pulled back into a ponytail. She has vibrant emerald eyes with a golden starburst pattern at the centre. Her skin is rather fair considering the amount of time she spends outside. This is roughly what her face looks like.


Brief Personality: A part of the mutations Sarah has suffered from has stagnated her ability to learn, meaning she in many situations has the intellect and emotions of a child, but still she understands her actual age. Due to this condition she often has trouble finding words or communicating effectively, which leads to an unusual tendency to communicate via crudely drawn images in crayon often accompanied by a few simple words. She is generally a very peaceful and calm woman, but often pouts and gets irritated by people who take notice of her height and intellect. The only time she is outwardly angry and physically violent is when someone threatens or tries to attack her or those she considers friends.

Background: Sarah spent her early years on the farm with her family before the Fall. After the bombs fell, they were lucky to survive as well as they did. They were in an area that wasn't directly impacted. Instead it was the fallout and the nuclear winter that affected them most. The crops were harvested quickly to avoid the worst of the radiation, but it wasn't enough. Eventually her parents got sick, and she started taking over jobs on the farm to cover the work her parents weren't able to. Small Raider groups began striking the farm in small groups, which her father managed to drive off or get them to a safe hiding spot. In time her parents got worse and worse, but it also appeared that the radiation had an effect on her as she continued to grow taller. When her parents passed away she was 16 and over six foot eight tall, and she gathered what she could and began looking for safer ground to work. As she traveled she would set up a couple of temporary farms and would harvest quickly and move on before raiders would catch up with her. When she turned twenty one, she was over nine feet tall and was finely tuned to the craft she grew up with, but other parts of her education were sorely lacking. Which was only made worse by the radiation exposure. Eventually she ended up settling down about a quarter mile from a town and began building her farm. She slowly incorporated herself into the town by selling the excess crops that were safe for consumption.
Alone or with someone?: Alone, despite being so close a town she generally sticks to herself unless she is shopping or selling crops.
Other: She keeps a few tame mutant cattle on her farm.

@Saint Girralo
