Abandoned Hope - Concluded

Sorry I've been inactive for the past few days, been suffering writer's block (more like writer's barricade), so wasn't able to get a post in. However, I'll get something in today, I promise! Just going to wait until @Morose posts the events and I'll then start work on my IC.

I can't believe this turned into a Gundam rp

@AdobeFlash

I can't believe it didn't happen sooner

THIS OR THAT

Kill myself.

Never bathe again, or live in seclusion forever? Choose the first option and no one will be able to smell you but you'll always smell yourself.

Quick survey: As some of you might have read Jaklo has a Rage Function of some sort, but I never really cleared up what it could do.

Basically he gets a fair bit more powerful when he is pissed off, and I want to hear people's thoughts on balancing it as I'm likely going to use it by the end of the golem fight. The upfront obvious balance points are he's entirely unstable at that point going more off adrenaline and rage than logic. In a sense you could say at the highest end he's going feral. I don't really have a cap on his current increase in abilities (something I'd like to hear from you guys), so I really can't say for certain just how much better he might be. In my head he's outpacing most world renowned athletes. He's probably far more durable at this point too making up for his normal squishiness.

I jsut really feel like I need input for balancing as Jaklo is not meant to be a really op character like Seph or Markiel who are masters of the craft trained since they were kids etc. etc.

@jasonwolf

Maybe having Jaklo could face some negative effects after going berserk/feral/whatever mode. Possibly have him become unstable, emotionally and/or physically. Tires easily, irritated, etc. etc.
I also like @dragonmancer and @fdeviant idea.

Plans have changed, yours truly will be active! Until something horrible happens (again)

Abandoned Hope - Concluded

Daniyal Lohi

---

Location: At his own Home (Number 7 Grant Road)
Interacting With: No one

”I wouldn’t be a coward,” he promised to himself,

”I won’t just run away and hide,” he swore to himself,

”I’m brave and rationale,” he bragged to himself, and yet he was cowering in his own home begging for the lights to turn back on.

The stroll did nothing to calm his nerves. All he saw were either empty streets or people running, and street preachers but that’s a given. Desolate streets, inking skies, dark corners. He felt as if any moment someone might jump him. However, he didn’t feel as if someone might, just feared someone might. Even he couldn’t tell the difference, but a reassuring thought told him he was safe. Which did absolutely nothing.

He was skirting the edges of a near-by untamed land, where hobos frequented. He liked the dirty rats, even though he called them dirty rats. Maybe they could calm him a bit. They had sob stories galore, and were a lively bunch. He even made friends with a few after showing them some tricks. Little hocus-pocus, make a coin appear and then you’re loved. It seemed a bit pathetic to him at times, finding friends in a group of unwashed drunkards, especially when some of them wouldn’t hesitate to shank you, but Daniyal was odd, he found pride in that. He was going to march in there with open arms and-

CRASH

A murder of crows levitated above the trees and sped away, a low cry was heard when another crash echoed out of the thicket of trees and shrubs. Daniyal immediately turned heel, speed-walking away from the noise. Maybe it was best to not visit a place after the worst of bad omens took place in front of you.

After placing as much distance as he could, he slowed down a little. His eyes darting from dark window to dark window, before sighing with relief. It was only a power outage, perfectly normal and common! A tree fell over and snapped a wire or two.

”A power outage the day the world is supposed to end?”, he thought.

It wasn’t precognition, nor divination that poisoned and worried his thoughts. It was fear. Pure, primal fear. Daniyal didn’t consider himself someone who believed in superstition, but fear had already grappled his mind.

Reaching his home in a cold sweat, Daniyal swung open his front door after fumbling with his keys, and wincing when the door banged against the wall. He flipped the light switch, nothing. He went to the fuse box and toyed with the knobs, which only caused a flare of sparks that terrified him more.

So there he was, laying down on the living room couch, without the comfort of light or the TV, waiting for the moment a voice will just ring out nonchalantly announcing the end of the world. He almost chuckled at that. He was acting stupid, and he knew it.

He scolded himself for that, ”Get up!” his mind yelled. What was he worried about anyway? Meteors? A killer bursting in? He didn’t know what was going to happen, so why worry about it? Right?

All he knew was that he didn’t want to be alone. Technically he wasn’t alone at that moment, but he would rather not acknowledge that thing’s existence right now. He knew of a town meeting taking place soon, he could go. Safety in numbers, right? Get the voice of the future generation heard, right? It was a great idea, right?

He still hadn’t shed off his clothes nor bag yet, but by his standards he was all ready to go, messy hair and all. And now to watch the slow ticking of the second-hand as the silence pounded his ears.

Coal’s eyes instantly snapped to the wad of rolled up money, his eyes glistened with greed, but luckily managing to restrain himself. He scooped up the shiny metal instead, twirling it in his fingers before flicking it across the floor. “No magic, just a hunk of rock with no value.” He concluded as the bauble skidded to a halt near the wall.

Coal strangely ignored the money as he searched on, his curiosity taking over his momentary greed as he picked up the letters instead. He shook the papers straight, letting out a sage “Hmm” as he skimmed over the loopy and rushed handwriting.

“Closeted wiz kid felt trapped, ran from home taking whatever he could, and swore revenge. We got backstory, but no clues as to where he is now.”

Analyzing and repeating evidence, he hoped he looked as useful and “cool” as in the cop shows. Dropping the letters neatly back into the safe, an idea snapped in him, “Maybe we could visit our mystery man’s parents? It might take a while to get there but,” the howling wind blowing outside silenced him, the worn walls shaking as if it was breathing, The storm was getting worse. “We don’t have a while by the looks of it.”

His very underwhelming discovery snatched any motive or ambition to press on away from him. So far all they found was an upturned kitchen and a few letters. The idea of them never cracking the case haunted his mind, but a little glimmer of hope still shone.

“Any ideas?” be breathed out to no one in particular.

Total change of plans, I'm right here! I'll get an IC post up hopefully today.

Little heads up guys, I won't be active for (hopefully) 1-2 days. So don't kill me off yet, I have legitimate reasons!
