Penguin"Well, I guess it depends on whose prospective you are looking from." Zed said with a slight chuckle to Althea's question. "Personally, a half burnt library written in an uncomprehending ancient text was mildly interesting for the first hour or so but the small group of scholars we were escorting seemed to be in heaven even though our time there was cut short to about eight days." He said with a slight shake of his head and a small snort of disapproval as he recollected the events that unfolded when he was younger and inexperienced.
Hearing Zed's remark about keeping alert, Harper gripped her short sword and slid it partially out of it's sheath. Although she knew that there was a greater chance in which there would be no one there, she could feel the excitement and her adrenaline start to flow as she watched the forest ahead. Giving a slight nod in agreement to Althea's question, she listened as Zed described visiting a library in the ruins. Although he described it as an event without much excitement, finding a library filled with a mysterious undeciphered language seemed interesting to her. "What caused the trip to be cut short?" Harper asked with interest.
Listening to Harper's curious question, Zed gave a slight chuckle. "That's a story for another time and place. But to keep it short and sweet, let's just say that we weren't the only one venturing through the ruins that day." It didn't take long before the first signs of the ruins appeared. Things were going smoothly so far and Zed was quite optimistic that Straw would be able to find what he was looking for without too much trouble. If they were lucky, the group would be able to leave later that day or even tomorrow morning.
It was the commotion of his captors that woke the old dwarf up. Although his captors were far enough away that he couldn't make out the words they were saying, from their intonations and their hurried voices as they departed, he knew that something was happening. He had a feeling that he would have a new cellmate to join him soon enough. With a sigh, Orin sat up as he wondered who would be joining him.

Dear life, I was told to get one but you are killing me. Can I get a refund on the extra hours at work and the lack of sleep for a bit of freetime. Yours dearly, The Coffeeholic

Sleep? You mean there is a such thing called a regular sleep schedule?

Sorry about the delay, this is quite unusual for me. I should have a post up shortly.
We didn't get that far. Our two characters just met on the outskirt of town where Straw was waiting and then we took off to start the journey. You had a male character and I was playing Estella. We started shortly before the site crashed so you might not remember me. I'm using the same name but my avatar was of a puppy.
Nah, we had a 1x1 right before rpg crashed.
Alright posted. Are we keeping the old man's name Straw or do you have another name? I added a mini bio section with a little blurb about each character and a picture, although I'm still looking for one for Zed. I'll thinking of having Orin already captured with the drow slaver so he won't be introduced until we bring the drows up.
"Great!" Estella said with a small smile as Straw spoke of the great news. Besides the excitement that a few highwaymen brought a few days ago and a few other minor incidences, the trip to the ruins went quite smoothly. "I wonder what the ruins will look like?" The young adventure almost reaching, if not yet at her twenties said standing to the right of the old man. Although her short sword was sheathed, it was easily accessible to her if the need arose.
"It'll probably be interesting to look at in the beginning but you'll get tired of it pretty quickly since everything will pretty much look the same." A man in his late twenties or early thirties said walking at the rear. "No offense to you Straw but the namesake of the ruins speak for itself. Everything is in ruins and there's probably going to be overgrowth with the plant life invading. We'll have to make sure we keep our guard up even though we've made it. Places like these are usually the breeding ground for highwaymen and other thieves hoping to take advantage of unsuspecting adventurers and the like." Zed said with slight nod. Although the temperature was cold, the weather wasn't too bad which gave him hope that their situation would be as bright.

Nodding in response to Terry’s remark about being shipped off to a horror house of some sort, Tia was about to respond with a sarcastic remark but before she could, a new voice intervened. Sitting across from her was a male that appeared to be about the same age as Terry. Hearing boy’s story about how he was similarly drugged as Terry was, Tia wondered if she too lost consciousness when she was taken to the bus because it didn’t seem plausible that she could suddenly appear in front of a school bus. However the warmth coming from her hot chocolate seemed to prove her suspicion unlikely.
“Yeah.” Tia responded as Sage introduced himself and then proceeded to ask if they too were sick. As Terry listened as she introduced herself to Sage, Tia looked at her curiously as she mentioned being able to make things fly around. It sounded similar to what she experienced when she was with the man with the suit. Maybe both incidences were related to each other. Maybe they were even related to what happened at the hospital with the needles. However, Tia was skeptical. Making things fly and teleporting only existed in books and movies, things like this doesn’t happen in real life.
“I’m Tia.” The young girl said as she shook Sage’s hand and then proceeded to answer both of the teen’s questions. “Yeah, I think I almost made my mom sick from worry with me being in the hospital and all. It probably didn’t help that whenever the IV needles that the nurses used were messed up or something.” Tia said as she held up her left arm which has a white bandage wrapped around her elbow area. “Which was very unpleasant since the needles would bend and break while it was inside of me, making it harder for them to take out compared to when they stabbed me the first time. Not as weird as being able to see things fly around but there has to be an explanation for that. Right?” Tia said obviously skeptical of what Terry said. “Did you check out the medicine that the doctor gave you? Maybe one of them has a side effect of hallucinating or something like that.”
Josiah nodded as he listened with interest as Jason described his powers. Although it was usually quite easy to see how a power worked, it always interested him to hear everything that went into making a power work and everything that took place behind the scene. “Yeah, I’d feel the same if I were in their place.” Josiah said as he looked towards the teachers. Many were familiar to him as a teacher he had in the past or ones he seen in the halls between classes or heard rumors about. “You have a bus load of angsty, pissed off or confused teens who know less about their powers than about the hormones in their bodies that makes them more irrational than they should be, granted I was in that category when I first came here. You don’t know who is a ticking time bomb or will become a time bomb with either their powers or emotions nor can you always tell who became crazed from the radiation. Personally, I’d take a job as a high school teacher in the heart of New York city before becoming a teacher here.” As he watched the expressions on the faces of the new students as they came off the bus.

Not a problem! I'll probably make a character sheet as we go along and add important character ideas, concepts and facts so that I have something quick and easy to refer to as we progress. Also, I'm thinking of adding an extra character or two to the group this time around so keep an eye out for them.
