Roleplay:Reach for the Sky

The is a roleplay made by Monk. It is currently free-join, but has a limited amount of time to grab slots.

Intro
It starts out your average day. People going to work, kids going to school, business as usual. Very soon though, a select few people would be chosen to complete a difficult and dangerous task and risk their own lives in the process. Who are they? Just looking at most of them, they seem like average people with average lives. But buried in them is a strong will ready for an adventure they will never forget.

A strange phenomenon takes place the next day as a massive thunderstorm sweeps over the area. In a blinding flash of lightning, all the chosen people vanish from their homes without a trace. Loved ones don't know what happened, either. Only that they were gone. The news broadcasts the strange disappearings, some think it's aliens, others; the government, others still; assassins. Nobody knows what happened to the group on that fateful day.

The "Chosen", as they would soon be called, would wake up in a large cabin. Where they are? That will be discovered. What is their mission? To find out who did this and why.

The basic rules of roleplaying here:

 * Cursing must be censored or avoided.
 * Nothing sexual or pornographic.
 * Be respectful of other users.
 * No G-Modding, Powerplaying, Metagaming, etc.
 * This will be done in paragraph style.

This RP's Specific Rules:

 * Only join if you think you can stay active in the roleplay.
 * No flying away from the area. (Character will probably end up dead or with broken wings if they try.)
 * No fighting amongst the "Chosen". They can argue and bicker, but no actual fights. (Don't kill someone over an item/position you want.)
 * Fight only when there is a clear indication a fight is needed. (Not every sign of opposition is a fight trigger.)
 * Your characters will only have the weapons they normally carry. (If they don't normally carry a sniper rifle everywhere, don't make them have it with.)
 * Fighting IS optional. Stronger enemies like "bosses" can be left to others to deal with, but smaller and more numerous weaker ones are not much of a challange to anyone.
 * Species Rule. Explained below.
 * Stay active. With the exception of telling me you won't be able to edit beforehand, after a week of inactivity, your characters will most likely be left behind or killed off.

Important Character Notice
Special roster of characters. You are not allowed to have multiple characters of the same species. Something like an ocelot and a margay are fine, but do not have two hedgehogs. The only exception is if that character already has a partner of the same species that would always be with him/her. This works on a first come, first serve basis. First person to enter a cat get to keep that slot. Also, if your character has a last name, say the species next to their roster to say what species is taken.

Regarding hybrids, they count as one of their two species. If you have say a hedgewolf and a hedgehog in the list, the hedgewolf would take the "wolf" species, while the hedgehog takes its respective species. There is to be no duplication of hybrids either. You can't have two hedgewolves and call one a wolf, the other a hedgehog. Hybrids with more than two parts count as one of their parts, usually the biggest part.

Roleplay, Chapter one: The cabin in the?
A loud crash, a bright light. A loud crash, a bright light. A loud crash, a bright light. Those were the events going on outside of the group log cabin. A turqoise fish sat up in his bunk and looked at his surroundings. He was on the top Bunk of one of the dozen bunkbeds. "Where am I...?" He quietly asked himself, slipping down, off the bunk to the ground below, "And who are all these people?" He asked again, walking on the wood tile floors, heading towrds the door when another crash and flash of light erupted outside, causing him to jump. He walked to the large front doors and pushed them open. He stepped outside and sat on the steps of the cabin, looking around at the thick fog that enveloped everything.

" I, myself do not know , But its probably something thats probably bad for our health " Said a black cat wearing a well cleaned white T-shirt and well cleaned Trouser. He stared into the fog with his grey eyes slowly hints sleepiness every now and then. " Very freaky " he said as he looked behind to see if anyone else had woken up.

A grey hawk walk woke up inside the cabin. He looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. He then got out of his bottom bunk and looked around. There were a dozen bunkbeds. Damn, he thought. Where the heck am I?

A red porcupine woke up and yawned, then he quickly saw his surroundings. "What the hell...," he asks himself. He jumps down from his top bunk and looks around. "Where in Gaia's name am I?," He says as he tries to see if other people are around.

An arctic wolf in a red coat sat up, grunting and yawning as he awakened. "Blargh... what happened last night?" he inquired, to the air. The only thing he remembered was that he was relaxing in his apartment when lightning crashed above his roof, then... nothing. Crap. Now was not a good time to have memory loss...

As soon as she opened her eyes, the masked fox knew that something was wrong. She sat up on the top bunk of the bed and looked around the room. "I don't remember falling asleep," she said to herself. She then jumped down from the top bunk, landing feet first. This was when she noticed that her bow was missing. "Where did my bow go...?" She still had her dagger and was already prepared to use it if something happened. Then she thought to herself, Who are all of these people?

The grey hawk looks around at all of the people starting to wake up. "Does anyone know where th heck we are?" He then notices a lightness on his back. Ah darn my sword....

In another bunk, a small blue and black fox/raccoon hybrid was sleeping soundly under the blankets, even with the thunder going on outside. However, the chattering of other people around him was starting to make him stir. Still asleep, he tried to block it out with a pillow. Next to him, a large armored diving suit with strange markings on parts of its armor, possibly the marks of some ancient civilization, and a drill on its right arm was sitting against the bunk. The holes in the helment glowed dimly with a very faint light. Whatever it was, it was barely concious, but it was big and possibly dangerous.

On one of the numerous bunks was an individual of red and blue shaggy fur. For those who were familiar with Fotiagos Imperium, they would find it odd for him to be still for such a long time. Of course those he knew for prolonged amounts of time typically did not live for long. He wore all black clothing including a hooded trench coat, fingerless gloves and pants as well as red and blue shoes. The sound of the roaring thunder instantly snapped him awake and the wolverine's midnight black eyes darted open. He sharply sat upright, instinctively reaching a hand behind his shoulder to grab one of the handles of his twins blades.

"Damn..." he cursed under his breath. He took a look around and noticed there were others beside him who seemed just as confused. If one wanted him dead like he assumed, he wouldn't even be awake right now, let alone walking about freely. The purple soles of his shoes tapped silently on the ground as he got to his feet. Deciding not to interact with the others, the wolverine skulked about in search for a way out.

On the floor next to the bunks was a blue kirby with orange feet and a bunny hat on. He seems to be in a heavy sleep with allthe drool coming out of his mouth and the half eaten sandwich in his hand. "Mmmm..Yes, I would like another one of your donuts, Mr.Clown.." He mumbled. On a top bunk a bunnycat (mostly cat) rolls out of the bed "OWW THAT HURT!!!!!!!"cries the cat.

In another bunk, a female mobian cat/fox like creature with two tails and dark blue hair covering her right eye rises from the bed and leaps onto the floor. Her face apears to show no emotion as she looks around at the others in the cabin. She then pulls out what appears to be a notebook and starts writing. "I seem to have awaken in a mysterious facility, there appears to be no signs of a witch, however several others have also awaken here. So far, nothing but a group of lesser and infirior minds, it would be in their best intrest not to stand in my way, as I will waste no time killing them if they do." She stops writing and puts away her notebook.

A black and grey echidna sat on the ground in a meditative state. "..."

The bunat drinks some cold water and tuens into a girl "shoot..."

Nearby, an odd man of no exact species awakens, and slowly gets out of bed. In one had, he holds a wallet, which he pulls a card out of, to where the card converted into a tape recorder. He presses the "record" button. "Recording Q 01: Woke up with a headache, in a strange cabin full of random people. Proceeding with caution," he says. The recorder turns back into a card, which the man places back in the wallet.

A slightly hungover black bat with green hair unintentionally rolled off of his bed and awoke startled "What in the world?" he exclaimed as two (Non anthropomorphic) cats at the foot of his bed got up and trotted over to his side.

There was one Mobian who was not yet awake... a white-furred hedgehog had her arm draped over her face, her brown hair hiding her rather short quills. She was barefoot, and her dress had almost a flower-like appearance. Other than that, she seemed somewhat plain.

Siconia(girl form name) is wondering where she is and why she is here

The echidna opens his eyes and looks around. "So a good amount of you woke up."

Blitz turned to the echidna. "You got any idear where we are, mate?"

Zak wakes up and walks towards the group with the sandwich in hand. "Where ever we are, I just wanna say no one try to do something stupid."

"Note taken. and no I don't know, I woke up and sat here waiting for you to come." The echidna shrugged.

A caracal clad in scaled light blue armor walked through the fog back to the cabin. In his hand he held a pair of somewhat tall warlances, and he had a sharp-looking shield on one arm. Looking through the purple lenses of his pointed helmet he looked at the people on the front steps. "Your weapons are out about a hundred feet that way," He says, pointing at the fog, "Lying on the ground. I have no clue as to who owns what, though." He said, walking back into the cabin with the spears on his shoulder.

Zak looks at all the people in the cabin for his guess was that he was the only kid here." Anyone wann tell us where we are?", he said s he took a bite out of his sandwich.

A grison looks at Zak. "I think we're all curious to know..." he said, his voice gruff. "I suppose we might as well introduce ourselves for the time being. My name is Axton, I come from Acorsain." he glaces at everyone else, expecting a response.

"I'm Zak, a rabbit (Actually a kirby but they can't know that), and apparently the only kid here" Zak said.

"My name's Blitz," the wolf replied, sitting up and stretching his arms.

The odd man walked towards them. "Jared is my name," he says, "And I would prefer if nobody were to call me anything else."

"Someone tell me if there are any kids here because I can't stand being the only one. If you guys need me, I'll go look for the kitchen" Zak says as he walks around.

The hedgehog finally woke up, stretching her arms and legs. Then she noticed what was off. "Wait a minute... this isn't my bed..." she said, looking down at it. When she looked up, she noticed everyone in the room. She jumped a little, scooting away.

the buncat introduces herself"im siconia."

Upon his sneaking about, Fotiagos overheard something about weapons being stashed a fair distance from the cabin he was in at the moment. He was peeking around a corner at this moment and saw what direction the armored feline pointed to. This could potentially mean Ignis and Glacies were recoverable and crucial to obtain should the Thermomancer want to escape with his life. Perhaps his scabbard as well as that was too absent. Not really caring if he was seen but still remaining vigilant and keeping his plethora of enhanced senses open, Fotiagos made his way out of the nearby door and headed in the direction in which was pointed.

"Damien" The bat grumbled as he put on his jacket (Which was on his bed.), fumbling.

The fish got up and walked towards the location at the same time as Fotiagos. Not really noticing him, he walked over and grabbed a basic spear with an orange metal for its head. Placing it on his shoulder, he started walking back to the cabin.

The cat/fox like girl ignored the rest of the group, she then stepped outside and noticed the fog.

"What in the hell?" She then walks out into the fog.

Blitz got off his seat, following the girl. He hoped that his sword and guns were still out there. Hopefully a hobo didn't nick'em, he thought.

The Black cat turned his head as the cat/fox girl came out. " My name is Ink ". He has overheard everything ther others said and thus knew some of their names. He freezes as the girl starts to walk into the fog. wearing a expression of nervousness ink followed her close behind " Do you think this is safe ? " he asked as he stepped into the fog

The cat/fox like girl simply ignored the black cat, and then thought to herself.

"Why am I surrounded by such infirior minds?........."

Damien owned no weapons other than a pistol for mercy killing, which he had left at home. So he merely lay on the bed he had awoken on with his two cats which simply mewed happily.

It didn't take long for Fotiagos to find the object he was searching for and it brought him much satisfaction. He reached down to grab the purple "X" shaped scabbard that still had the twin blades sheathed within them. The wolverine unsheathed them for inspection, finding them undamaged and just how he last saw them. Placing them back in the scabbard, he fastened the straps across his body and buckled them in place. He thought for a moment. This fog was too dense to travel and it'd be suicide to proceed further. The ones in the cabin appeared to be of no threat. Regardless, he'd keep to himself until the chance of a safe escape revealed itself. As such, he made his way back to the cabin with a light jog and swiftly made his way back inside.

"Ah, there they are!" Blitz said, finding his pistols, shotgun, and sword lying against a rotted tree. He eagerly picked them up and put them in their respective sheathes, grinning as he felt ready to take on anything. Though, he caught himself and calmed down, remembering how the fog seemed rather dense and difficult to see through.

Having silently followed them, Jared goes to retrieve a large axe with various splotches of random colors on it, a sabre with a strange streak of red across the blade, and an old-style umbrella with various pockets stiched into it. From one of the pockets, he pulls another card, this time turning into a white scarf, which he then puts on. "Everything I may need has been found. Everyone else as lucky?" Jared asks.

"Yep," Blitz replied, surprised by Jared. "Thank gawd nobody stole my stuff..."

By this time, all the commotion woke up the foxcoon that had been asleep. He sat upright, still half asleep and looked around. As soon as he noticed all the strange people in the room, and noticed that the room itself was a different location from where he had went to sleep, he immediately kicked the covers off of himself and backed himself against the nearest wall, letting out a shout of surprise. With the covers off, his outfit was now visible. His outfit consisted of a sharktooth necklace, a tan vest with a white t-shirt underneath, tan bermuda shorts, white socks, and tanish sneakers that were moderately worn out.

The sudden shout from the foxcoon immediately woke the behemoth that was unconcious next to the bunk that the young foxcoon was in. He rose quickly and looked around. The light from within his helmet immediately went from yellow to red and he stood infront of the youn foxcoon with his back to him. He then reved up his drill, warning everyone who was in the room not to dare take a step towards the boy.

Sico:" runs out to get to swords and two sword carriers and put them on her back and runs back to the cabin"

The grey hawk from before looked under his bed to see if he could find his stuff. To his surprise, he found his Spellbook,  his sword and two of his Arks. He puts his Arks on his wrist and sheaths his sword on his back. "At least this place isn't a complete prison.." he mutturred under his breath. He knew if it was then all of their weapons would've been lost.

"It may not be a prison but, how did we all get here?" the masked fox asked, still completely confused.

Siconia feels weird "this is really weird!"

"From what I can gather, this is some once-forested area. The fog is not normal though. Might be a bog, so be careful. I also suggest we don't fight amongst ourselves until we actually know where this is." The armored caracal said, looking at the diving suit, "That goes for you, too."

El-Dor looked at the person talking to him and replied, "This is my spear. I've had it for quite some time."

"Bog, huh. Odd," Blitz remarked. Why would they be in a foggy bog, of all places? There were more questions than answers, and he didn't like it at all. He sighed as he went back towards the cabin.

The hedgehog finally composed herself, slowly exiting the bed and walking towards the others...

Siconia transforms back into a boy

"Finally."says sico

The grey hawk sits on his bed and looks around at all of the other people who are here. "Well, we may as well get to know eachother, I'm Nate"

Damien sat up and looked at eveyone and their weapons. "Damn, why do so many people carry weapons? I mean seriously,almost everyone in the damn world is packing heat, it's ridiculous!"

"Whenever someone is a carrying a weapon, be it a blade, a gun or something else, there's always a reason to it," the masked fox said to Damien. She then turned to look at Nate, "I'm Astrid. It's good to finally meet someone friendly for a change."

Blitz looked over at Damien. "Dunno about you, but if there are weapons around (especially if they're mine), I ain't gonna pass them up."

"My name's sico!"

"That's a bit weird..." Damien muttered while he stroked one of his cats.

Alphaeus woke with a start. ''Odd. Normally I'd be woken up by something as noisy as a crowd in my room. ''Then it dawned on him that there was, indeed, a crowd in the room - which made him roll off his bed in surprise. He grabbed at his equipment under the bed greedily, then stood quickly and brushed himself off, noting that it wasn't even his room in which he'd woken. Well, I suppose that's better than all these people in my own room. There seemed to be a group forming, so he headed in its general area and hung around the back - close enough to hear what was going on, but far enough that he wasn't likely to be asked a direct question. He wanted to get answers before he started giving any.

The diving suit clad figure stared down almost everyone in the room, and then turned it's attention to the armroed caracal that was speaking to him. The bodyguard to the young foxcoon let his drill die down, but the red glow in his helmet persisted. He still viewed everyone in the room as a possible threat to his young master. While no one was attacking the foxcoon yet, the beheamoth of a bodyguard wouldn't dare let down his guard.

The foxcoon by this time had gathered enough of his wits to be able to speak again. "Where am I?" he asked aloud, his voice showing that he was confused, mildly scared, and partially annoyed. He had gathered closer to the edge of the bed towards everyone else, but still remained behind his armored protector. His eyes were quickly looking between the different people there.

Fotiagos had made his way back into the cabin, silently sighing as he entered. It seemed there was no hostility among the individuals residing here for the time being. The wolverine preferred to remain solitary and figure a way out of this by himself. For now, he'd simply wander about, gathering clues that give any notion of what's happening at the moment and why he'd be here.

Ink, the black cat had followed everyone into the ' weapon area ' , but he was very frightened due to one single reason. he was scared that he won't fins his so called ' weapon ' due to it being too small. He layed down and quickly started to search for it everyone he could and finally found it. It was what seemed to be a ordinary fountain pen that had gold and black color carvings. He made sure it wasn't broken and slipped the pen in his rear pocket and with a smile returned back to the cabin.

(The cabin just has twelve bunkbeds, nothing else. It is a rectangle shape with three pairs of bunk beds on each longer part.)

The hedgehog, who still hadn't introduced herself to anyone yet, simply lingered toward the more "level-headed" members of the group. She seemed too nervous to speak to anyone yet.

Liquid finally got off the lower bunk of the bed, being sure to stay right behind the diving suit figure. Normally, he was used to having his massive bodyguard be the center of attention. The fact that hardly anyone so much as gave a second glance both perplexed him and annoyed him. During this moment, he finally took a better look at the area he was in. It appeared to be a simple wooden cabin with several bunkbeds in it. While this was a much better change of scenery from where he had last turned in for the night, which was an abandoned building with a roll up mat on the ground, it still bothered him that he didn't know where he was. It bothered him even more that there were a lot of other people there too, some of them just as strange as his giant companion. He then snapped his fingers twice, as though a signal for something.

The diving suit clad giant knelt down on one knee after hearing the snap of his small companion's fingers. Once he knelt, the foxcoon climbed onto his back and hung over his shoulder. Once he was settled, the bodyguard rose to his feet. At about 6 to 7 feet tall, he easily towered over everyone else. The foxcoon was hanging onto different parts of the diving suit to keep himself balanced while looking over the bodyguard's shoulder at everyone else.

Blitz glanced at the giant with a look of nervousness. He had faced giant monsters before, sure, but this guy seemed... ominous. Though, seeing as he didn't attack anyone who antagonized him yet, he supposed that the giant was on their side.

Man, why are we here... he thought again. He wracked his brain to try and remember how he got here... but like before, he came up blank. He frowned. Dammit.

"So what do you guys think we do?" Zak said. "We have zero idea where we are or who brought us here, and we don't know how long it'll be until someone comes and helps."

"How do we know anyone's coming?" replied Alphaeus, stepping closer to the group. "We all just wake up here with no idea how, so how can anyone know where we are?" He smiled bitterly. "We may be on our own."

The black echidna stands up and walks over to the weapons area, he comes back with a spear. "..."

"I'll go outside and look around the building to if I recognise where we are," Astrid said, turning and walking towards the door.

"..." The echidna goes back to his seat and sits down.

Nate, the grey hawk, looks at the fox who's attempting to leave. "Um, i dont think you should go out there alone. We should either all of together or none of us go. There's safety in numbers".

"Come on. You don't need twenty something people in order to go explore outside" Damien responded.

"Ok that's true",Nate said. "But we should all stick together. That's the point i'm trying to get across,"

"Sometimes it's better to have someone along with you in this situation..." The echidna states with his eyes closed.

"Yeah. But you don't need twenty something." Damien replied

"Then simply let one person accompany her."

"My point exactly."

"OK then, who?" Nate breaks in.

"Whoever wants to." Damien shrugged.

"I-I'll do it." The hedgehog finally spoke. "Ok."

"Mind if i come too." Nate says. "It's better than doing nothing".

"Sure. I'll climb on top of the building or maybe a nearby tree and try and get a good view of the area," Astrid said.

The caracal looked at Astrid, "It will not get you anywhere. There are no living trees nearby and the mist is so thick would not be able to see more than a dozen feet in front of your face. I suggest you all get your weapons, then meet back here, or on the front steps so we can get acquainted." He offered everyone, then walked out to the steps.

If anyone were to walk out farther than where the weapons lay, they would step into a sink hole and would have to shout out to others to get rescued.

"Do not worry. I already have my dagger," Astrid said opening the door. As she stepped through the door, she noticed the water outside. She picked up a rock that was resting on the steps and dropped it into the water. It sunk. "So much for that plan..." she said to herself.

"...Hmm..." The hedgehog kneeled down, feeling around at the ground for a few moments. Perhaps she was trying to locate some form of plant life buried beneath the unstable earth?

Suddenly, a blonde coyote came into appearance. She knew it would be awkward for her to just stare at the people there, so she jumped straight to introductions. Well, her version of introductions.

"Heya there. Name's Forte. 'Bout time some people showed up. I've been out here for quite a while. Hope you all found your weapons and such? Cool. So, any idea where we are?"

Usually the cocky coyote wouldn't rush things, but she was sort of nervous and there was no time for bragging in her mind. Then she realized it must've been really strange to see a coyote levetating. She landed in the cabin and muttered with humiliation, "Sorry, that mighta been a sight you don't see everyday..." She pushed her glasses up on her muzzle and straightened up as if nothing happened.

"Let's forget about it. Anyways, I know this is quick, but what's the game plan, folks?"

Even though nobody had yet said anything, she broke out, "OKAY! I'm SORRY!!! I was just trying to calculate a way to get out of here! I swear I was only outside the door!!!"

Now it was really weird. You could barely hear her say, "I'll just step over here...." as she shifted to the corner.

Blitz glanced at the coyote girl with a look of confusion. O...kay.

The foxcoon just stared at the coyote for the duration of her introduction. "Wow, I hope everyone else here's not as weird as that." he said to himself. It then dawned on him that he felt something missing. Looking at his belt, he noticed that his sheath was empty. "Hey! Where's my knife?" he exlaimed. "Who stole it?" he started to look around the room, eyeing each person to see who may have been responsible for taking his weapon and heirloom.

"If you're looking for your weapon you'll find it in the weapons area." He points in the direction of the weapon  cache.

The massive bodyguard walks forward and heads the door with his protectee in tow. A few moments later, the duo return back in. The foxcoon seems relieved that his weapon is back with him. It was a short dagger with a gold/bronze handle that had odd inscriptions on it. The bodyguard lumbared back to his original position, his smaller companion sitting on his shoulders.

The caracal just shook his head and looked around at the people in and outside the cabin. "As I said earlier, try not to fight amongst yourselves. The last thing we need is a bunch of corpses lying in a bog. Don't try wandering out into the mist, you will probably get hopelessly lost." He said.

sico agrees" your right."

El-Dor walked over to the hedgehog and sat down next to her, "Hello." He greeted warmly.

"Hmm?" The hedgehog raised her head up to look at El-Dor. She seemed to be a bit more at ease than before.

The fox/cat girl sees the others gathering thier weapons.

"What ill-prepared fools." She then summons a spear-like pole weapon using her magic.

Zak pulls out a lighter."Don't need a weapon..." Inhales it and his bunny hat turns into a firey crown."When I am a weapon!" He then runs and hops on Blitz's back yelling,"I'm the torch and your the guy lighting it!!"

Astrid walked back in and had overheard what the fox/cat had said. "We are only ill prepared because we have no idea what is happening," she said, folding her arms.

"Uh, pardon me? Can you NOT ride me like a horse?" Blitz said irritably as he tries to make Zak get off him.

The cat/fox girl looks at at Astrid, but her face still showed no emotion.

"It would be wise of you not to get an attitude with me."

Fotiagos had returned to the room he woke up in. He wished to remain by himself and find a way out of this without the aid of others. He couldn't trust anyone just yet. The wolverine sat on the bad and begin to contemplate his next course of action.

The fish looked at the cat/fox, "I don't use or rely on magic like you. I have to rely on whatever comes handy." He said, then turned to the hedgehog, "I'm El-Dor. Who are you?" He asked her, then stepped down into the puddle next to the porch.

"Lillium." The hedgehog replied. "Sorry if I'm being too quiet. I was sort of nervous because... well, it's not because almost everyone here is armed, but their weapons were practically the first thing on their minds..."

The caracal looked about at the people, getting a little panicky about people going after each other, "Just... try not to fight each other, okay?" He pleaded.

"As you can see, I'm fine. I don't know about the others however."

"I agree. We don't need to get worked up over such minor quarrels." Jared says.

"I wasn't arguing. I was simply reminding her of the reason why most of us were not prepared for this," Astrid said.

"Alright guys cut it out!" Nate said in a calm collected voice. He's had enough of this bickering. "Sure...we were unprepared for this and quite frankly i know you both don't want to be here. No one does. But fighting and arguing between ourselves is not going to make it any better, in fact it will make things ten times worse. Now quit the arguing and lets focus on the task at hand."

"I wasn't arguing but alright...," Astrid sighed, "Still, Nate is right. We need a plan. Ideas?"

Zak hops off of Blitz, trying to not set him on fire. "Ok, if anyone finds anything, give it to me. I could use it to build something."

The cat/fox turned away. "Neither was I, I would never dabble in such nonsense, especially not with such a mentally infirior being."

"Okay, that was rude. And if by "mentally inferior" you mean, "one of the most skilled assassins", I wouldn't argue with someone like myself either. Now, either help by giving ideas on how to get out of here to the group, or just be quiet until we figure out something ourselves, Astrid said calmly.

Blitz stood up straight, grateful that Zak hopped off. He sat back down on his cot and watched the others.

The foxcoon scoffed at the cat/fox's comment. "If you're so mentally superior, then why are you still stuck here like the rest of us?" he asked in a snarky tone. "If you were as smart as you say, I'm sure you would have already found a way back to your home by now."

"Can both of you weapon obsessed muppets shut up!" Damien growled "Arguing like this is gonna do f*** all other than potentially causing violence. We're stuck in this situation and we have to deal with this calmly... Unlike how I just did."

Hearing the commotion once again, Ink runs back to the weapon area. " What's happening " he asked as he approached the group again

"So far, lots of unnecessary shouting," Astrid told Ink.

"I'd say my shouting was necessary. To stop a potentially bloody argument." Damien remarked.

"You do realise that I had no intention of hurting her?" Astrid said.

"You don't really get that vibe from someone who just said they were a highly trained assasin." Damien smirked.

Nate stands up clearly annoyed. "Look..." He takes a deep breath. "We are all on the same side here. We all have speciality, traits etc.Whatever. That's not going to help us if we keep fighting each other. Now instead of argueing and trying to one up each other how about we just sit down and try to remember where we were before we woke up here?"

"Well I was in bed and drunk" Damien said smiling.

"Well that's a start."

The foxcoon didn't really say anything until after Nate had spoken up. "Wait, wait, wait a moment." he said. "'Same side'? Look, I don't really know who any of you are, nor do I care, but I don't remember anything about us being 'on the same side'. Besides, Mr. B and I are fine on our own." He patted his armored escort on the top of his helmet. Although he was trying to act confident in his and his bodyguard's abilities, the truth of the matter was that the foxcoon didn't want to admit that where he was before waking up here was an abandoned building.

The conversation ensuing was easily picked up by Fotiagos' highly acute ears. He let out a dull groan as he leaned his back against the wall. The fools were going to be of no use to the wolverine. They were just as hopelessly lost as he was and weren't getting nowhere as the argued among themselves. While the Thermomancer initially contemplated on allying himself with the strangers, he was ultimately glad he didn't. It was likely his blades would have carved into somebody's throat had they started stuff with him. For now he was stuck here, at least until the fog cleared so he can maneuver about more cautiously. Keeping his ears open to the numerous individuals, Fotiagos listened for anything that could be of importance.

Alphaeus stood back from the group, shaking his head. He had been in need of allies, but this was ridiculous. These creatures couldn't seem to decide if they needed to work together or fight to the death. He leaned against the wall and listened to the conversation. Once this Council of Fools reached their decision, he'd try to find a way out.

Nate sighs. "What im trying to say here is that we all have one common goal. Find out how we got here, why we are here and how to get the hell out. Can we just focus on those three objective please? Any quarrel after that is fine with me." Nate is truly annoyed at this fighting. He decides that if nothing happens he'll go off and search for clues on his own.

Zak was also annoyed by this fighting, mainly because if he doesn't get out he won't be able to eat."Nate's right. If you two, not counting Astrid since I know her and she's cool, can save the 'If you don't shut up' talk, we'll actually get outta here faster. This mainly applies to the cat/fox since she seems to be smarter than all of us."

Jared pulls the recorder back out. "Recording Q 02: A few more people have awoken, and already have things begun to heat up between the others. Still no knowledge of exactly where we are and why we're here. Further findings will be noted." he then puts the recorder away again.

The caracal had had enough. He shook his head and walked out the front door saying, "If anyone wants to talk about how we can get out of here, follow me. Leave your weapons away from the group if you want to talk." Upon exiting, he thrust the heads of both lances into the ground, so their shafts would lean against the cabin. He then layed his shield on the spears. Next, he leaped up to the roof of the cabin and walked to the back, hopping down again. He went over to the only noteworthy thing back there; a fire ring and some wood. He made a basic fire-starting build, then struck a flint until it caught fire. He then pulled over one of the split logs and sat on it, not wanting to sit on the wet ground. His tail, the only thing sticking out of the armor, flicked back and forth in irritation.

The fish smiled at Lillium, then watched the caracal walk out. He immediately left his cruder spear next to the caracal's and jumped up towards the roof. Not as good of a jumper as the caracal, he managed to grab the edge of the roof and had to pull himself up. He watches the armored figure jump down on the other side, and looked down at Lillium, "If you're following him, he's behind the cabin." He told her, then walked to the back of the roof and leaped down, watching him start the fire.

Zak looks at the group and looks at the caracal outside, making up his mind who to stay with. "Wait up! I wanna get outta here!". Zak runs outside heading for the back of the cabin.

"Hm. I'm going with the caracal," Astrid said. She walked outside the door and unclipped her sheathed dagger from her belt. She looked at it for a brief moment, disliking the fact of not being allowed to have it on her. She then laid it down gently on the floor, close to the other weapons. Then she turned back to the group and said, "I apolgise for the quarrelling," before following the others.

Nate looks up and see's Astrid walking out. "It's ok i forgive you..." He says quietly to himself. He stands up and walks outside to discuss on getting out of here.

Inside the cabin, the strange blonde coyote Forte had pulled herself out of her corner with her machine gun on her shoulder. She walked over to Blitz carefully and whispered, "Sorry for the randomness back there. I can assure you I've taken the pills for my ADHD and now I'm doin great. Yeah, don 't think I didn't see your weird look at me or that dorky fox-things head-shake. You don't know who i am, but I assure you, you want me. Now I don't know about you, cutie pie, but I say we follow before people forget about us." She wondered for a second if he sensed her flirting.

Blitz blinked for a moment. He supposed he could understand the randomness, but now she was flirting with him? Odd. He "ahem"'d before replying, "Uh... sure."

The bodyguard acompanying the foxcoon decided to head out to join the other people who actually wanted to get out of here. Not only would this be more likely to enusre his and his companion's survival, but he knew that if the foxcoon got in an argument, they'd be stuck for even longer. He proceeded to walk out. Anyone who stood in his way would be wise to give him his space or risk being walked over. Literally.

The foxcoon nearly fell off and tightly held on to his companion as they began to move. Although he would have probably liked to continue arguing with the cat/fox hybrid, he was actually relieved not to have deal with her further. At least, for the time being.

Once the duo arrived with the rest of the group, the bodyguard's drill began to glow a golden color. After a breif moment, it disintegrated into gold particles. This left the massive guardian with only his hands to use as a weapon. Once with the group, he stopped and waited for someone to start the discussion.

Fotiagos had heard the caracal's words. It was about time somebody had started making sense. The wolverine decided he would follow the feline in hope to get some chance of escaping this place, although he'd pretend he didn't hear about the instructions about going unarmed. He hopped of the bed and followed the caracal's path, executing the jump with precise accuracy and swiftness.

"..." The echidna sighs. "Might as well,.." HE stnads up and stabs his spear into the ground, he walks after the caracal.

Damien picked up his cats, walked out the door and flew onto the roof. After he did so he lay down.

Outside the group gathers around. "So does anyone have any plan on how to get out of here?" Nate asks. He doubys anyone has a plan yet but at this moment in time anything will do.

"Me and whoever else can fly could get a birdseye view." Damien piped.
