Roleplay:Something Wrong in Station Square

 This roleplay is Invite Only! We are no longer accepting new people!

Overview
The group awakes on this night to have no memory of what happened the previous day, only to know that they are in buildings all around Station Square and that there are no people left in the town. There is a moonless night outside with dark beasts known as horrors lurking about. These animals are trying to get to them, to kill them, and it's only a matter of time before they do. Can they get together, after being seperated and work together to find out who did this, and stop them, or will they simply be thrown to the wolves?

Rules

 * Don't dodge everything in combat, otherwise I'll might have to add a dice system into this somewhere and I don't really want to do that.
 * Swearing isn't allowed. (Crap, Damn, Hell are fine.) if you need to say a swear that isn't any of those three, then censor it out using *'s.
 * Don't kill or take something out with a single move, that's just not cool.
 * Don't kill someone's character without their permission. Not only is that uncool, but I will not stand for it. That being said, no name characters like 'guards' or something, is something I'm okay with you killing.
 * Don't auto hit either, that's still not a cool thing.
 * Do not blatently break the fourth wall, references to things are fine, but doing something like, directly saying your in a roleplay just isn't something you should do.
 * This is not ERP, so no sexual content. Romantic things (Kissing, hugging, etc) are fine, and innuendo is fine, but don't do...you know...
 * I don't like posting orders, so we won't use one. However, if things get too chaotic and I think someone is getting left behind, I will inact a posting order using a randomizer. We're a team, we can't let someone get left behind.
 * Be nice to one another, we're here to have fun, and that's what this is all about. I won't let people who are jerks to other players of the rp be allowed here.
 * "Do try to have fun, dear"
 * For this roleplay only: This is a very confusing roleplay for somebody like me, who is jumping between all of them. As such, sub-plots need to be confirmed by me before they are used, don't just randomly try to jump into a sub-plot, that won't work.

Part 1 (A): A light in the dark (Zapor's Characters)
Trinity awoke in a very dark shop inside the mall. She shook her head and tried to look around the area. The place looked like an earthquake had hit it, with tons of plastic items strewn across the ground. It was almost a depressing sight to see. "Hello?" Trinity called out.

Zapor popped his head up from some of the plastic items. "Marco." Zak then popped his head out from a nearby pile scattered food items. "Pol-...wait, where are we?" Zak asked.

Zapor looked around, noting that Trinity was here also, but no other sign of the others.

"How...does anybody know how we got here?" Trinity looked around. "I think it's a mall."

"Zak, were we sleep walking again?" Zapor asked, get out of the pile.

"I dunno. I can't remember what happened yesterday..." Zak wondered. "Maybe you could try calling someone on your phone?"

Zapor took out his phone and tried calling someone, but there was no connection.

"Something's wrong..." Trinity pointed out. She created a ball of fire to hover around her, generating a source of light. "Is it just us? Where's Neo or Lexi or Echo?"

"Well, I'm pretty sure that if Lexi is here, Leo is with her so she may be safe. I'm sure Neo could handle himself in this type of situation." Zapor said.

"What about the others?" Zak asked.

"Well, we should look for them as soon as we find out what the deuce happened." Zapor answered.

"Then let's go looking." Trinity said, exiting the shop and entering a large plaza with a dried up fountain in the center and several gates blocking the other shops. "That isn't heartwarming." She told them. "Someone put us here."

"Sheesh, did we have an all out war or something?" Zapor asked, looking around.

"Uh, does anyone hear something?" Zak asked, a faint growling noise could be heard.

Trinity's eyes went wide and she quickly put out her flame. "Find an exit." She said hurriedly. "Now!"

Zak quickly looked around and saw an open vent. "We could go through that vent!"

"Do vents even get outside?" Zapor asked, cocking his head.

"You have somewhere else?" Zak responded.

"Get going..." Trinity told them, pulling her daggers out. "There are animals nearby."

Zapor and Zak climbed into the vent. Zapor breathed a small fire from his mouth to make a light as the trio crawled through the vents.

Trinity followed them in, crawling for what felt like hours until they found their way into another shop, this one had a window allowing them to view the outside, but the vent was the only way out as the gate was closed.

Zak got out of the vent and looked around. "It seems clear in here."

Trinity got out of the vent and looked around the area, which also seemed really trashed. She approached the gate and looked out, only for the gate to be tackled by dog-like creatures and that started growling menacingly at the group inside. "Those are what's been around us."

Zapor takes his rifle out and loads some bullets into it. "Zak, you might wanna try breaking open the window so we can get out of here." Zak ran to the window to make sure there were no monsters outside.

The bullets, although they hit the beast didn't seem to have any effect on it.

Although there were no creatures that could be seen yet, the building was fairly high up. It was easy to notice several small buildings nearby.

"I...can't tell where we are..." Trinity pointed out.

"Hm, I could float us down to one of the other buildings." Zak said.

The gate began to creak and moan. "Yeah, the faster the better." Trinity told him.

Zapor hit the window repeatedly with the end of his rifle a few times until it broke. Zak then inhaled some air and puffed up.

Trinity grabbed onto the kirby. "Let's go!"

Zapor grabbed onto Zak's other hand, and as he did so, Zak leaped out the window and floated gently downward to one of the lower buildings.

Which managed to be just in time to, as the gate broke up in the shop. "Well...now what?" Trinity asked.

"Well, we wait until Zak descends onto that one building." Zapor pointed at a building. "And hope Zak holds his breath long enough for us to get there." Zapor then pointed at Zak, who was still inflated, but his face turning slightly red from holding his breath.

"Zak, if you don't hold on till we get somewhere, I'll light you on fire." Trinity warned, while looking throughout the city. "Those...things are everywhere."

"Mmphf." Zak mumbled, still holding his breath. After what seemed like almost half an hour Zak finally approached the roof of a small building,

Trinity dropped onto the top of the building, both daggers in hand and began to look around.

Zapor also dropped onto the building, with two pistols in hand. Zak landed, then let out the air. "Ok, where should we start looking for the others at?" Zapor asked.

Around them, the group could see a bunch of other small buildings, with a couple of taller buildings just at the horizon. "We should look for places where a struggle happened." Trinity suggested. "I doubt anyone is left at Tranquil Manor."

"No ones left...maybe we could check...that park over there." Zapor pointed to a park that was closeby.

"I doubt there's anyone there..." Trinity sighed. "But we could check..."

The trio moved to the park. Zak stayed alert with his sword out in case a creature came out and tried to attack them. Once they got to the park, there were multiple broken toys and other parts everywhere. But there wasn't anyone else there.

"Hm. Still no one..." Zak muttered.

Trinity looked around. "We're pretty close to the Diamond District, we could always check there."

"Alright." Zapor said. The group headed to Diamond District. However, there was an uneasy feeling around.

The Diamond District was full of buildings of very high quality. The place was dark and there didn't look like anyone was around.

"Weird. It's like we're in Station Square but not actually in it." Zapor said.

"Where else is there to look?" Zak asked.

"I...don't know." Trinity admitted. "It's been a while since I've actually been in the city."

"Well, there we could search Tranquil Manor, but I have no clue where it is..." Zapor said. There was a faint lone growl.

Part 1 (B): Dark and Light (Saren)
Fey awoke in the middle of a dark apartment building, it felt lifeless and empty inside the building. Fey got to her feet, barely, and made her way to the doors which she tried to knock on, but got no reply. She looked around the area and felt sick in the pit of her stomach. "Is anyone there?"

"I don't know? Is there anyone here?" Saren asked grumpily, having woken up with a bad headache and missing his coat. "Just where the heck am I and why does it feel like that drinking binge I went on as soon as high school prom ended?"

"I don't know." Fey said. "I...I can't remember how we got here..."

"Neither do I.... Just bloody great..." Saren responded in annoyance.

"Well..." Fey looked around and noticed a window. "Hey, let's go see where we are." Upon looking outside she found that there were no big buildings around here, just some small house and business type buildings. "We're in Canterbury apartments." Fey said. "That's like, five miles from Tranquil Manor..." She sighed. "The goes the hope of any back up..."

"Well, we've got bigger issues, something doesn't feel right and my coat with all of my tools and supplies is missing." Saren said. "Besides, what happened to the people?"

"There aren't any. I can't feel anyone else in this building." Fey sighed. "And we don't have a key card, I doubt looking through all of the rooms would help any...maybe we could try the ground floor?"

"I do know how to crack those locks, but the idea of making noise seems like a bad idea no matter if you can sense people or not.. One of my contracts required me to do so in order to kill a small time mayor sticking his nose in where it didn't belong..." Saren said while looking for a way to do so.

"Well anyways," Fey said. "We should find the stairs and head to the ground floor.

"Alright.." Saren said as he began looking for a flight of stairs

Fey began checking the hall looking for the stairs, only to find that there were none to be found. "There aren't any..." Fey noted before there was a ding and an elevator opened in the hall way. "I...I don't trust that..."

"That makes two of us, but we should go investigate.." Saren said.

Fey entered the elevator, which appeared to be fairly normal, with the exception that there was only one button with the number "0" on it. "I guess we press it..." She pressed the button and the elevator took them to what appeared to be the basement of the building, stone floor, in a long kind of dark room, but with no monsters in it, and a door at the end.

"This is... Very freaky..." Saren said, feeling unnerved at the situation.

"I really don't like this..." Fey noted in a scared voice. She formed a ball of light around her, which managed to project into a diameter of five feet. "I...I guess we open the door...?"

"Stand back.. I got this." Saren said before he sparta kicked the door as hard as he could.

Fey took a few steps back. Inside the room was what looked like a creepy temple with moss growing over the walls and roof, and stone bricks on the floor. On an alter in the center sat two candles, a black one and a white one.

Saren looked around, confused. "Um... What is this place?" He asked. "You mind helping me check this place for supplies?"

Fey nodded and began looking, but with the exception of a few very old rugs, there was nothing. That is, until a girl appeared behind the alter watching the two. "You guys are...interesting..."

Saren turned towards the voice. "Who are you?" He asked.

The girl gave a warm smile. "My name is Kala." The girl said. "You two are interesting."

"You've said that already." Fey noted. "Why are we interesting."

The two candles both lit up behind her. "Both of your perceptions of life differ so much..." She looked to Fey. "Light." then to Saren. "and Dark."

"Explain... Personally I think my perception of life matches that of a realist." Saren said in his usual snarky tone.

"Both of you embody the ideals of light and dark." Kala explained. "Fey; besides using the light magic, you're kind, charitable, you always see the good in everyone, and you focus on being there for everyone. You're motivated by the virtues of Temperence and Diligence."

Then she turned to Saren. "And you Saren, despite using Umbramancy, you're powerful, quiet, and always looking for a fight. Your pride is your greatest tool and your influence on others to do dark things is noticable, Fey certainly has noticed it. You are guided by the sins of Greed and Wrath."

"You don't know us." Fey scoffed.

"But I do." Kala told them. "I can see everything, all your memories, all your motivations, I can see every life you've taken and given, I'm staring into your mind right now."

"You might not want to peer to deeply in my head, lest you find something that should never have been found." Saren warned before he turned to look at Fey, a smirk on his face. "Yeah i'm motivated by money, but so what? Money's the true power in this world. Not peace, not love and definately not religion. I just apply my skills to make money, and at the end of day. It's the one with the most money who is the most successful. As for wrath?... Well, I do love my job and not just because it pays well."

"Yes, I've noticed." Kala told him. "But I've noticed...other things as well. You're not as dark as you seem. You like to play the big bad, but I see some...kindness in your heart as well. Which is something that I should have known." She pulls the black candle up. "Darkness cannot exist without light. A powerful darkness requires a powerful light."

Saren blinked. "Alright... Just who are you?" Saren asked, his patience dwindling rapidly.

Kala smiled. "I, am Kala. Both of you should know this; Light begets darkness and darkness cannot exist without light. Both of you, you both share the traits of both." She grabbed the white candle and held it next to the black candle.

Saren sighed, evidently annoyed. "On to more pressing matters... Now, why is this place all barren and just where the heck is my coat?"

"I think the better question is; where are you? Your coat is in Station Square." Kala told him.

"Aren't we in Station Square?" Fey asked.

"Are you?" Kala asked. "Your in a city that looks like Station Square, feels like Station Square and has all of Station Square's buildings, but doesn't have the people. So the question comes down to; are you even in Station Square?"

"I'm...confused." Fey told her.

"By the way, you have a little less than five minutes before he comes to kill the both of you and take his reward." Kala said with a smile.

"So.. All of our powers work here right?..." Saren asked.

"I don't see why they wouldn't." Kala told him.

Saren smiled and walked up to Kala. "Well that's the best news I heard all day." Saren said before he hugged her for a few seconds. He then returned to Fay's side.

Part 1 (C): A stealthy find (MHS's Characters)
Neo opened his eyes to find himself on the couch in Tranquil Manor. His head hurt and he noticed that the lights were all off, which was really weird. He waited a moment for his eyes to adjust to the dark before moving around the area looking for people in the building. He noted that there should have been some people servants around, but he couldn't find a single one, not ever Miss Heart, a maid and nanny who was his favorite.

As Neo passes by the front window, he would notice a light blue fennec fox in the courtyard. She appeared about as lost as he was, to whatever extent that may be. She was supposed to be here, but for what reason?

Neo noticed the fox and knocked on the window. "Hey!" He called.

The fennec looked over, recognizing Neo's face. She immediately headed towards the front door.

Neo went towards the front of the building, only to notice that there was something patrolling a roughly 22 yards away from the front of the house. Neo checked to make sure his claws were equipped and opened the door.

The fennec slid inside as the door opened, slightly surprised to see that Neo was armed. "Whoa, were you expecting a burglar or something?"

Her name was Ciel, an acquaintance of the Tranquil family. As a paradoxology expert from OmegaCorp, she could be a valuable asset.

Neo scanned the area. "Something's out there." He said in a concerned voice. "Get in." Upon entering, he asked a question. "Now, what the hell happened in the past 24 hours? 'Cause the last thing I remember was you and I talking."

"I think we... actually, no, I don't remember. It's so strange, usually I'd know how my days go like the back of my hand." Ciel said. "I actually tried making an Observation recently. I couldn't see anything about the future. Something really strange is going on..."

Neo looked around outside. "It never gets like this, Station Square gets smog, but not like this." He looked around the room. "And there's never a moment when no one is here. Miss Heart, Sebastion, Lumina, none of them are here, they're always around. Ages went to Noble city, Mom and Dad are meeting with some corporate leaders in Blizzard town, so their supposed to be gone, but...wait a minute..." Neo looked around even more. "We need to go upstairs!" He said in a somewhat worried voice.

"You haven't checked upstairs yet? Or is there something you expect to find up there?" Ciel asked. "...In any case, I should check to see if I still have access to my armor. I get the feeling I'll need it today."

Neo hurried up the stairs, going through several different stories until he came across a fairly long hallway with five doors throughout it. Four of which all had name plates on them. There was "Kari & Markus", "Ages", "Neo", and "Era". Neo burst through the door labeled with Era to find a fairly well kept, simple room with no one inside. "Of all the people in the world, why is she not here...?"

"Era? Was she here the other day?" Ciel asked.

"Era never left. There's no reason for her to be gone..." Neo noted. "So, for some reason, everyone in the house is gone. What the hell could have happened?"

"If you want my opinion, I suspect this isn't actually Station Square... besides the two of us, I don't think there's a single person within a thousand yards of here. This could all be an illusion." Ciel pondered. "Hey, it's the only explanation I've got at the moment. It makes about as much sense as everything else that's happened so far. Although I guess that isn't really saying much since none of this makes any sense according to what we know... "

Neo gave a sigh. "Was anyone else here with us before we lost our memory? I...can't really remember."

"I know about as much as you right now, which isn't saying much. Now that you bring that up though, I guess we could look around." Ciel said.

"I doubt anyone is up here." Neo told her. "Let's look around and see who we can find."

"Right... where do you want me to start?" Ciel asked.

"Check the first floor." Neo told her. "I'll check the second, and then we'll just keep going, I guess."

"Alright." With that, Ciel headed downstairs and began her search.

The first floor was really well kept and had quite a few rooms down there, but it didn't appear that anyone was there. It was what was outside that seemed interesting as there were more creatures circling the building and they were getting closer.

Part 1 (D): A touch of Darkness (Nick)
Zero awoke into a skyscraper, in a particularly high up office building, papers were strewn about everywhere, alongside some broken desks and a broken window. The hedgehog looked around and noted that his scythe was nearby, picking it up, he held it in place and looked around the room, checking with the shadows to tell him if there was anyone hostile before calling out. "Is anybody in here?" Zero asked.

"H-Hello?" Nick said.

"Hey!" Zero called out, looking around the area once more. "Do you know where we are, or how I got here?"

"Not really" said Nick. "We could see if Justin, err Sensei is here, he's usually around when I am."

"SENSEI!" Nick yelled. "SENSEI ARE YOU HERE!"

"I don't think anyone else is here, kid." Zero noted. "Just us." He looked around some more and than stopped. "We're the only ones in the building, it's like an earthquake hit, or something..."

"hmmmmmm" said Nick. "let's go see what's outside, maybe there are some clues outside, what do you think happened?"

"I don't know, what exactly happens where everyone in a city goes missing?" Zero noted, looking outside to see if he could find anything of not. "We're in the marble district." Zero said. "There's a bunch of museums over down that way, even has a park out front, but we're miles from anywhere I'd walk to myself. How did we..." He stopped as he noticed something moving at the base of the building. "No, we're not going outside." He told Nick. "There's something circling the building down there."

"Maybe some security camera saw something" said Nick looking at a security camera. "I'm gonna go look outside, You check the camera." Nick look out the building and took a step out side and saw something.

"What the heck?" said Nick. "what is that?"

(Nick OOC: hello?)

Zero looked up to the camera wondering if anything would be there, but judging from the way things were going, he felt that they would probably be blank. So he followed Nick down outside. "What?" He asked.

Part 1 (E): A ray of Hope (JayJay)
Echo awoke outside, and that was the very first problem she had. She awoke in the middle of a park, with busted up toys and jungle gym pieces all over the place. It was very obvious that a fight had happened here, and apparently someone tried to hide as there was nowhere in the park for anybody to hide. That was the second problem. The third and biggest problem of them all was the growling all around her, like dogs were encircling her, waiting for the right time to strike. The little girl was scared for her life. She reached for her deck of cards and pulled a card out. "Cross Card: Wings!" Fairy-like wings grew on her back, and provided just a touch of light within in the darkness.

3 feet away from her is a brown and red wolfbat laying there on the ground slowly getting up. Jay rubs his head, something didn't feel right, and then, he realized it, he had been here just before, but he doesn't anything on how he actually got to where he is now. Jay tried to move his wings but one of them has a piece cut off and they're very soar so he decided and then he saw Echo over there next to him.

"This isn't good." Echo noted, noticing that he was hurt and that the growling was getting closer. The little girl looked around, trying to find somewhere they could hide, and noticed a museum just across the street of the park. "We need to get over there!" Echo called out. "Can you walk?"

"Yeah, I can." Jay replied walking over to her.

Echo looked around. "Creep, really slowly towards the door of that museum." She said.

Jay tip-toed over to the museum being very cautious but them tripped and fell on the ground and scrapped his knee. "Ugh." He said getting back up and started to tip-top again.

Echo followed Jay into the museum, very slowly so that she wouldn't disturb the growling around the group.

Jay walked slowly inside the museum and look around, no one else was in there. "Hey, anyone here?" jay called out. Jay started to walk around the building.

The building was empty, although there appeared to be no struggle here, there are no paintings or any other pieces of art that can be found here.

"I don't think anyone else is here..." Echo said in a slightly scared voice.

A growing faint noise was creeping in the background. "Hey, do you hear that?" Jay said to Echo, quietly.

Echo pulled a card and gave a little 'eep'. "Y-yes..." She said in a scared voice.

"We need to leave somewhere or hide someplace, have any ideas?" Jay said with a gulp quietly.

"Uh..." Echo said. "I...think we might be able to get to the roof?"

"Kay." he said, "Can you fly?" he asked.

"Yeah." Echo said, waving her fairy wings. "I can."

"Okay, let's go." Jay said to Echo and he leaped up and flew toward the roof.

Echo followed Jay up to the rooftop, peering out over the a part of the city, and, for the moment, being safe from the shadow creatures.

Part 1 (F): Like Clockwork (Timesmash)
Fate awoke to the sound of rushing water, as if there was a nearby stream, which seemed odd to her, given that she couldn't remember being anywhere near a steam in all of her time while in Station Square. She opened her eyes to find that she was correct it was a stream, it was the busted up pipes of a restauraunt of some kind. There were broken tables, clothes and dishes thrown apart, broken glass was everywhere, but there was no food. Fate stood up and took a minute to judge the situation at hand. She had her weapons, both of which felt warm, as if they had recently been fired. There was clearly a fight here, one that it appeared someone lost. Just what happened her? "If anyone is in here." Fate said with a commanding voice  "I'm gonna need you to stand up and come towards me, slowly."

Clock-Watch slowly edged towards her. "It seems my memory from yesterday has been erased... If there's something that I'm suspicious of, it's not knowing something." He turned to Fate. "The name's Clock-dash-Watch, unknown being!"

Fate sighed. "I'm Fate. I can't remember anything before this either..." She looked around. "Do you know where we are?"

Clock-Watch looked around for a moment. "Clearly, we are near some sort of restaurant. From the trashed nature of this place, it appears that some sort of fight has taken place. The stream tells me that we are near a body of water, or some sort of water purification plant. I believe we are in Station Square, but I could be incorrect. That is all that I can assume for now."

Fate narrowed her eyes at the thing in front of her. "Why's it so dark in here? Is the power cut or something?" She looked out the window to see several, fairly tall dark creatures circling the building. "Oh...that's not good..."

Clock-Watch took a look at the creatures. "What are those? I'm certain that I've seen them before... Perhaps they are the beings that caused this mess. And perhaps WE are their targets."

Fate pulled out her guns. "I have no idea, but those things are not good. We need to find another way out of here." She told the hedgehog.

"Something tells me that might be a good idea." He replied. He looked around the ruins of the restaurant. "Do you see any other ways out?"

Fate looked around. "Maybe a back door?" She asked and checked the kitchen to find a locked door there. "Let's try out here."

Clock-Watch tried to turn the handle. "Yep, it's locked. Don't worry, I can probably pick it. We need to be stealthy, so those things don't attack us." His right hand morphed into a set of lock picks.

Fate held her guns out in front of her. "When your ready, open the door." She told him.

After a moment, the lock was picked. "Here goes nothing..." He whispered, opening the door.

Fate followed Clock-Watch out into a small alley with no monsters in or around them. There were two exits, one to the left, one to the right, and a ladder going to the roof of the building.

"Hmm... Which exit to take? Clearly not the ladder, those... things would notice us immediately." He looked around. "But whether to go left or right? I'm not quite sure."

"We should find out where we are." Fate noted. "Do you have any idea where we are?"

"I remember heading towards Station Square the day BEFORE yesterday, so perhaps we're still there." Clock-Watch responded.

"I think so." Fate said. "But in what part of the city?" Fate looked around. "If we get some place high up, I might be able to figure out where exactly we are."
