Interesting Iscribble RP

Todd: *pets her. He smiles slightly*

Harry: ... Let's just go sleep...

Zorua: *purrs a bit more loudly, smiling along with him*

Claire: ... *sighs, and nuzzles into his neck, hugging him tightly* ...

Harry: *he tries falling asleep, and he eventually succeeds*

Todd: ... You're like a little cat... <:)

Claire: *eventually falls asleep as well*

Zorua: *still purring* (Heehee... If you say so~) ^^

Todd: ... You've helped me, even if it doesn't seem like it... thank you...

Zorua: *looks up at him, genuine happiness in her aqua eyes* (I'm happy to hear that.) <:)

Todd: ... I'm happy you're happy... <:)

Zorua: <:) ... *rests her head back down on his chest* rruuuuu...

Todd: <:) ...

meanwhile, the next day

Altodd: *he's quite fed up with how very itchy he's been feeling for a few days, but in the back of his mind, he was too scared to find out why. Now, though? Now enough is enough. He takes off his furry coat, the shirt underneath, only to reveal that, no, his torso has not mutated into some horrible reptilian thing, but rather, it had become incredibly... hairy. Like a man who doesn't care to rid any hair on his body* ... Uh... D8

Mikaela: ...? Altodd, why'd you-- *is incredibly confused by the fact that he was suddenly stripping* ...Uh...? *suddenly notices the difference, though it was a bit difficult to see due to the light and the fact that she was colorblind* ...What happened? O__O;

Altodd: What's it look like?? I've grown hair all over my body! Not even a little! Like, the same amount as a sweaty biker-guy! Gaaaahhh...! DX

Mikaela: Jeez, calm down... *gets out of bed* Weird... Guess this must be because of your werewolf...ness... *steps closer, and lightly puts her hand on his chest* ...weird...

Altodd: I'm almost scared to see what happened to my LEGS... DX

Mikaela: *laughs a little bit* Why are you freaking out so much...? XD;

Altodd: Because I grew all this HAIR so SUDDENLY and I DON'T WANT IT THERE! D8>

Mikaela: It's just hair, JEEZ! XD At least you're not a walking furball... <:P

Altodd: Knowing how this is going, I probably WILL BE in a couple of days... XC

Mikaela: Well, when it happens, THEN you can freak out. <:P

up

Harry: Todd...

Todd: ...

Iratus: *goes over to a bed and tries to sleep*

Lucifer: ...

Sam: Mrff...

Sarah: ... *sighs*

Shidako: *still tries to sleep*

Sam: *tries sleeping*

Lucifer: *goes to bed and falls asleep*

Todd: ...

Harry: Todd, she's FINE, really... <:(

Iratus: <:/

Shidako: *can't sleep* ...

Sarah: *stares at the ceiling, also unable to sleep* ...

Claire: <:( ....

Zorua: *climbs into his lap again, nuzzling him* <:(

Todd: ...

Harry: You can't stay like this... this isn't healthy... and Key wouldn't want you to be like this... <:(

Iratus: <:(

Zorua: (Harry's right, you know... She'd be sadder than the rest of us...) <:(

Todd: ... If I kill myself... I can be with her again...

Iratus: D8 !!!

Harry: NO! *he grabs Todd by the shoulders shaking him a little, looking him directly in the eye* No, don't you dare talk like that! You're not gonna be sent back to the Between World if you die, damnit, you'll STAY DEAD! Don't kill yourself! D8<

Sarah: *is awakened by Harry's sudden outburst. she doesn't move though, she only listens in* .......

Claire: ... *sits up and listens*

Zorua: (What would Key think if she finds out what you did? What if she hears that you killed herself?? Do you think she'll be happy to hear that?) D:>

Todd: ...But I'll be with her...

Harry: No, you WON'T! Stop it! Just STOP IT!

Iratus: D8>

Zorua: (You can't keep saying stuff like that!) D8>

Claire: D: ...

Sarah: ...

Todd: ... I just want to see her again...

Harry: *he's fed up. He smacks Todd across the face. The sharp sound is makes almost seems to echo in the bunker*

Todd: !!! *he finally looks right at Harry* D: ...

Harry: Just... stop... okay? D8>

Todd: *he looks at Harry for a while, rubbing where he was smacked* ... ... okay...

Harry: ... Thank you. *he gets up and goes to bed*

Todd: ...

Iratus: D: ...

Claire: *moves over to make room for Harry* D: ...

Sarah: ... *pulls the covers farther up. she felt like she was responsible--maybe... maybe this wouldn't have happened if she hadn't pretended to be Key...*

Zorua: *watches Harry walk off* ... *looks back over at Todd, and nuzzles him again* ...

Todd: *he's more responsive, petting Zorua, as if that smack had jogged him out of his zombie-like state* ...

Harry: *he tries going to sleep*

Iratus: *he goes to bed*

Sarah: *completely fails at getting any sleep that night*

Claire: *puts an arm over him and snuggles close. she could tell Harry was upset... maybe she could make him feel better*

Zorua: *still nuzzling him* (...do you feel better now?)

Harry: *he snuggles with Claire, though a heavy frown still rests on his face*

Todd: *quietly* ... A little...

Zorua: *cuddles against him* (That's good...)

Claire: ... *nuzzles him, kissing his cheek, trying to cheer him up SOMEHOW....*

Todd: ... I guess it is... *pets Zorua*

Harry: *he strokes Claire's cheek, looking at her with sad eyes*

Zorua: *purrs, nuzzling into his chest* ...

Claire: *stares back, putting her hand over his. she didn't like how sad he was... it was starting to hurt her too. she kisses him, trying to be reassuring, but feels like she's failing*

up

Lucifer: Agreed.

Thief: WHUH - WHY AREN'T YOU TWO BOWING??

Group: *turns and stares blankly at them*

Todd and Sam: *same*

Lucifer: We'd like to take those EYES now, you filthy pickpocket.

Thief: D8< !!!!!

Zorua and Shidako: *staaaare*

Sarah: *is a biiit creeped out by all the staring, but holds her ground* We'd also like it if you handed them over quietly.

Thief: N-NO! NO, YOU CAN'T HAVE THEM! THEY'RE MINE, DAMNIT! D8< *to the crowd* G-GET THEM! KILL!!

Lucifer: Well, frack.

Crowd: *cry out angrily all at once at Lucifer and Sarah*

Todd and Sam: *ATTACK!*

Shidako and Zorua: *join the crowd*


Sarah: Oh G-- NOW WHAT?! D8

Lucifer: *he suddenly grabs Sarah and flies over the crowd, right to the thief*

Thief: DDD8 !!!!!

Crowd: D8<

Sarah: O_O; *lands on the other side with Lucifer* >:(

Lucifer: *sets his hands on fire* Give them back.

Thief: NO!!

Lucifer: *throws a fireball at him*

Thief: *startled, he drops the eyes, which are immediately carried away by a scurrying rat, into the darkness*

Lucifer: D8< !!

Thief: D8> !!

Crowd: *blink a few times, coming back into awareness*

Todd: D;> ...?

Sam: What happened there...? D:

Shidako: ...? *is incredibly confused*

Zorua: ...???? *glances around, feeling a bit disoriented* Whaa...?

Sarah: ...Well, at least this guy doesn't have the eyes anymore...? D;

Lucifer: ... I have a bad feeling about that rat...

Todd: ...

Sam: We should get out of here. D:

Crowd: D: ????

Thief: ;___;

Sarah: Good idea. D: *quickly heads out*

Zorua: !! *follows her*

Shidako: ?? *still confused, she follows her as well*

Todd: *follows*

Sam: D: *follows*

Lucifer: ... *he walks out into the blinding sun outside the sewer* >XC

Sam: ... So... uh... what now? <:/

Todd: ...

Lucifer: ... Perhaps we should reunite with - ?

Harry: *he and Claire and Iratus find them* Hey!

Iratus: :/

Claire: :D!

Zorua: :D!!!!!! *runs over and practically tackles Iratus* Hi, Ira~! X)

Sarah: *smiles--she's glad to see them back safely* :)

Shidako: ...

Iratus: *hugs her, nuzzling her* (Hello, Zorua.) X)

Todd: ...

Harry: Todd's still not talking? D:>

Lucifer: No. He's quite depressed, actually.

Sam: <:/

Claire: Is there really no way to help him> <:/

Sarah: Apparently not...

Shidako: ... <:(

Zorua: :(

Lucifer: We should head back to the hideout... it's too dangerous to stay out in the open like this...

*and so they do*

Sam: *collapses on one of the beds*

Harry: Didn't expect Lucifer of all people to set up a BUNKER... D:

Lucifer: Hrmph.

Todd: ...

Iratus: >___>

Claire: Well, at least we have a safe place to stay. :/

Sarah: Amen to that... *also flops down on one of the beds*

Shidako: *knows trying to console Todd isn't going to do any good, she she just crawls into bed*

Zorua: *glances over at Todd* ...

Todd: *he sits down against the wall, back into the fetal position* ...

Harry: <:( *he walks over to Todd, sitting down next to him and putting an arm around him* ...

Sam: *he lies on the bed, exhausted* ...

Iratus: (Everyone's quiet.)

Lucifer: Shush.

Iratus: <________<

Claire: <:( ... *goes and sits down on the edge of the bed nearest to Todd and Harry* ...

Zorua: *glances over at Iratus, then turns into her fox form and goes over to Todd again, curling up next to him* ...

Shidako: *tries to fall asleep*

Sarah: *does the same*

up

Lucifer: We can't waste any more time. I'll wake her up MYSELF, damnit! >:(

Sam: :/

Todd: *pets Zorua* ...

Sarah: oooookay. >__>

Shidako: *sleeeep*

Zorua: *nuzzles Todd* ...

Sam: ...

Luifer: *walks over to Shidako, putting his hand on her head* Wake up. CALMLY. *he then removes his hand*

Todd: *pets Zorua*

Sarah: ...

Shidako: *blinks awake, and stares at Lucifer for a moment before yawning widely* ...good morning...

Zorua: *nuzzlecuddlesnuggles*

Lucifer: Get ready. We need to go.

Sam: ... *he goes to get ready, realizing that he isn't*

Todd: *only pets Zorua*

Sarah: *doesn't need to do much to get ready*

Shidako: ... *gets out of bed, and puts her helmet on* ...Ready.

Zorua: *cuddlesssss*

Lucifer: *walks over to Todd and pulls him up*

Todd: *he stands in a sad silence* ...

Sam: *quickly finishes getting ready*

*they leave, exiting into the city*

Lucifer: ... Time to make this thief of ours suffer...

Sarah: *nods* Any idea where he might be?

Shidako: *looks around for any signs of someone acting strangely*

Zorua: *stays close by Todd, now back in her human form*

Lucifer: ... *he looks around* ... Well. There's a crowd of people going in one direction over there. Care to check it out?

Sam: Might as well.

Todd: ...

Sarah: *shrugs* Don't see why not. *goes in that direction*

Shidako: ... *follows her*

Zorua: *tugs at Todd's hand, trying to get him to follow the others*

Todd: *he sadly drags his feet, following the others*

Lucifer: *follows the crowd*

Sam: *same*

Sarah: *observes them* ...Okay, there's definitely something wrong here. :/

Zorua: They look... blank. D:

Shidako: hm...

Lucifer: ... Some are carrying baskets. I can't tell what they're filled with.

Sam: Hmm...

Todd: ...

*they climb down stone steps in the city and reach a gate to the sewers, which someone in the front opens with a key*

Sarah: ... *quietly* I say we try to blend in. We might not be able to get in otherwise.

Zorua: *nods, and transforms so she looks older in order to blend in better*

Shidako: ...

Everyone: *tries blending in* ...

*they reach a larger part of the sewer, where a single man stood atop a pile of boxes. He wears the eyes as a necklace around his neck, and in his own eyes there is a crazed look. He takes off his necklace, holding it up*

Thief: THE EYES SPEAK! OBEY THE EYES!

The Crowd: *all mumble in unison* ...Obey the eyes...

Sam and Todd: *they are caught in the powerful hypnotic wave* ... Obey the eyes...

Thief: THEY TELL ME TO BRING YOUR OFFERINGS, PUT THEM DOWN AT MY FEET!

Crowd: *slowly stumble forward to give the thief their baskets*

Zorua and Shidako: *are also caught in the hypnotic wave* Obey the eyes...

Sarah: *notices* Wah--Uh oh. Lucifer...! D:>

Lucifer: ... How did I know this would happen...? >:(

Thief: YES! YES!! HAHAHA!! BOW TO YOUR LORDS!! BOW TO ME!! BOW TO THE EYES!!

Todd and Sam: *without a word, they get on their knees and bow*

Zorua and Shidako: *also bow*

Sarah: *doesn't* Well, I guess we should deal with him. >:/

up

Todd: ... *he pets Zorua again* ...

Everyone: *asleep*

Zorua: *plans on staying there the whole night if she has to* ...

*the next morning*

Todd: *hasn't moved* ...

Lucifer: *awake* ...

Sam: *asleep*

Zorua: *fell asleep on Todd's lap*

Shidako: *asleep*

Sarah: *waking up* mnhh...

Lucifer: *glances over at Sarah* ...

Todd: *pets Zorua a little more* ...

Sam; *asleep*

Sarah: *sits up, and glances over at Todd. she doesn't notice Lucifer* ...

Zorua: *purrs in her sleep*

Shidako: *asleep*

Todd: *continues petting Zorua* ...

Lucifer: *to Sarah* Good morning.

Sam: *asleep*

Sarah: ! *turns to look at him* ...Good morning.

Zorua: *puuuuuurrrrrrrrrs, snuggling closer*

Shidako: *fast asleep*

Lucifer: How did you sleep?

Todd: *he continues petting Zorua* ...

Sam: *asleep*

Sarah: Alright, I guess...

Zorua: *wakes up, and lets out a tiny yawn. she realizes where she is and goes right back to snuggling Todd* ...

Shidako: *zzz*

Lucifer: Well. Alright then.

Sam: *waking up* Mmf...

Todd: *continues petting Zorua*

Sarah: ...So we keep searching today, right?

Zorua: *purrs, nuzzling him*

Shidako: *sleeeeeeeeps*

Lucifer: We do. Whoever stole them, though, is probably a slave to them by now...

Todd: *pets Zorua. The tiniest hint of a smile forms*

Sam: *sits up, rubbing an eye. He looks around* ... *he dares not look at Sarah. It hurts too much to look at her*

Sarah: What do you mean? :/

Zorua: *notices this, and purrs a bit more loudly* X)

Shidako: *SLEEEEEEEPS*

Lucifer: Well, I'm not sure if the eyes are an entity of their own, or if they've become one... even if they're not, something with such hypnotic power could turn the owner of the eyes into something not unlike a drug addict. Wanting MORE power. MORE control.

Todd: *keeps petting Zorua, scratching being her ear*

Sam: ...

Sarah: ...Makes sense...

Zorua: *purrs some more, kicking her leg a bit* Mrruuuuuu~

Shidako: *sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*

Lucifer: And that's why we must go and fix this.

Sam: ... Who's going to wake up Shidako?

Lucifer: ... Not this again...

Todd: *pets Zorua*

Sarah: Err... maybe give her a few more minutes? >__>;

Shidako: *sleep*

Zorua: *continues to purr*

up

Lucifer: We rest. A big day lies ahead.

Sam: Alright. Cool.

Todd: ...

Sarah: Off to bed, then. :P

Zorua: ...

Shidako: ... *takes her hand off his shoulder, and picks a bed, sitting down on it. she is still saddened by Todd's behavior...*

Sam and Lucifer: *get into bed*

Todd: *he leans himself against a wall, sitting down and resting his head on his knees*

Sarah: *also goes to bed*

Shidako: ... *gets into bed*

Zorua: ... *goes into fox form, and curls up next to Todd, snuggling against him* ...

Todd: ... ... * he pets Zorua a little*

Sam: *sleeps*

Lucifer: *forces himself to sleep*

Zorua: *nuzzles his hand. she was still very worried about him* ... <:(

Sarah: *falls asleep*

Shidako: *looks over at Todd and Zorua* ...

Todd: *his eyes become wet with forming tears* ...

Sam and Lucifer: *asleep*

Zorua: D:> ... *hops into his lap, and nuzzles his cheek, trying to comfort him* (Please stop being so sad...) <:(

Shidako: *watches silently, wanting to go over there, but also knowing that he doesn't really want her...*

Sarah: *sleeps*

Todd: *in a quiet mumble as tears roll down his cheeks* ...S'hard...

Sam and Lucifer: *asleep*

Zorua: (Is there any way I can help?) <:(

Shidako: ...

Sarah: *sleeps*

Todd: ... No... nothing can help... she's gone... I'll never see her again...

Sam and Lucifer: *asleep*

Zorua: ... (I'm worried about you, Todd... we ALL are... even Lucifer... we don't like seeing you this sad...)

Shidako: ...

Sarah: *asleep*

Todd: ...It's not like I can help it...

Everyone: *asleep*

Zorua: *nuzzles him again* (is there anything else that would make you happy?) <:(

Shidako: ...

Sarah: *asleep*

Todd: ... Not anymore...

Everyone: *asleep*

Zorua: ... *snuggles into him* (Well, that won't stop me from trying...)

Shidako: ... *turns away, trying to sleep*

Sarah: *asleep*

Todd: ... You barely know me, Zorua... why do you care...?

Everyone: *asleep*

Zorua: (Because you're still my friend... and seeing my friends sad makes ME sad... and it makes everyone ELSE sad...)

up

Harry: We look alive enough, don't we?

Iratus: ...

Claire: Good point... *cautiously steps out from behind the tree* ...

Life Soldiers: !!!

Soldier 1: Who are you?? D8<

Harry: Don't attack us! We're not enemies! Look, we're alive!

Iratus: D8

Claire: We're just passing through, we don't want any trouble!

Soldier 1: You should come to Life City, then. It's safe, and not full of SAVAGES like those Fire City monsters.

Harry: Uh... h'okay. D:

Iratus: D:

Claire: *nods* That's exactly where we were headed.

Harry: Right. D:

Soldier 1: Would you like us to escort you?

Harry: We're fine, thanks. D:

Iratus: ...

Claire: I think we can manage on our own, but thank you for the offer.

Soldier 1: Sure.

Harry: C'mon. <___< *he walks off with the group*

Iratus: *follows behind him*

Claire: *follows after Harry* >_>

*they walk*

Harry: ... Awful. That's what this whole thing is.

Iratus: <:C

Claire: Couldn't agree more...

meanwhile

*The group reaches Life City*

Lucifer: I'm sure that once he or she is in the vicinity, the thief will be easy to spot. Those eyes are persuasive, after all... *leads the group to a small store with a blank sign on it. A store clerk greets them all with an empty smile, then presses a button under the desk he mans. It opens a secret entrance to an underground hideout, complete with beds, a kitchen, a meeting room, and a training room* Here we are... somewhere where the Mayor's most skilled lackeys can't find us.

Todd: *depressed, but feeling a little better since the beginning of the trip. He looks around a bit* ...

Sam: Woah. D8

Zorua: *looks around* coooool.

Sarah: Secret hideout. Awesome. So uh... why do YOU have to hide from him? Don't you like... work of him or something?

Shidako: *glances around, deeming the room safe*

Lucifer: I assumed that since I've been gone so long in my "hunt" for all of you, he has assumed that I've betrayed him. Which I have.

Sam: *shrugs. Lucifer always seems to be one step ahead of everyone else*

Todd: *sad*

Sarah: Huh. Good planning. So... what's next?

Shidako: ... *goes over to Todd, and puts a hand on his shoulder, rubbing it with her thumb* <:(

Zorua: *looks over, and frowns* :( ...

up

Harry: Power, maybe?

Iratus: (So much blood and death...) D8>

Claire: I don't like it either, Ira... *sighs* It was so different back home... so much simpler...

Harry: You mean with all the zombies? That's funny. Yeah, "simpler". Run, shoot, or run and shoot. Don't die. Very simple. >:/

Iratus: D:

Claire: I meant BEFORE that... *leans back against the tree* never mind...

Harry: You mean, like... well, I dunno. It's been so long since that life EXISTED...

Iratus: D:>

Claire: ...I wonder if they'll ever let us go back...

Harry: Probably not.

Iratus: ... (Where would I go...?) D:>

Claire: *hadn't thought about that* ...I... really don't know... D:>

Harry: Would you stay in the Between World, maybe? <:/

Iratus: ... (I don't know...) D8>

Claire: Maybe they'd let you come with us...? *hopes this is the case, but doubts it'll happen*

Harry: Claire, he'd get SHOT ON SIGHT by the MILITARY if he came with us... D:>

Iratus: (Wh-who's the military??) D8>

Claire: That's what we call the army in out world... And.. well... h-he has a human form, right? D:>

Harry: Well... y-yeah, but... the Creators probably wouldn't even let him come with... D:>

Iratus: D:>

Claire: ...We'd better make use of whatever time we have, then... however long that might be. <:/

Harry: Unless we never get out of here.

Iratus: D8>

Claire: We can always hope, right? <:(

Harry: I guess...

Iratus: ... (Many of the soldiers are dead... I think the not-fire ones are all that's left...)

Claire: Do you think they'll attack us?

up

Harry: Yes... :)

Iratus: ...

*they travel*

Harry: *looks up at how tall the trees are* ...

Claire: *walks along, hood up to shield herself from the light filtering down through the branches* ...It's really nice out...

Harry: I'm sorry... that must be a burden to you. <:/

Iratus: ...

Claire: Oh, I'm not complaining... It's fine as long as it doesn't touch my skin. <:P

Harry: Still... that RISK... DX

Iratus: .___.

Claire: Really, it's fine...! It's not like I'm going to burst into flames, Harry. <:P

Harry: Mnngh... >___>;

Iratus: :P

Claire: *hooks her arm with his* ^^

Harry: ... Heh...

Iratus: :)

*they continue walking*

Life City Soldier: *suddenly steps out of some bushes and shoots an arrow to the left of the group with his bow*

Harry: D8 !!

Iratus: D8 !!

Fire City Soldier: *is a flaming demon. He screams when the arrow hits his shoulder*

Fire Army: *throws themselves out, past the trees, attacking the Life Army*

Life Army: *does the same* D8<

Claire: D8!! *grabs Harry's arm and pulls him behind a tree, out of the crossfire* Iratus! D:>

Life City and Fire City soldiers: *attack each other*

Iratus: D8> !!!??? *he runs over to Harry and Claire*

Harry: Christ, they came out of nowhere! D8

Fire and Life Armies: *fight*

Claire: I'm just glad we managed to get out of there... DX Do you guys want to try going around, or should we wait? D:>

Harry: I'm afraid of moving... one of us could get hurt... <:/

Iratus: (So wait it out?)

Harry: 'Fraid so.

Battle: *rages on*

Claire: *waits, looking over every so often* ..... I wonder how they started fighting in the first place...

Harry: It could have been because of anything... an assassination, an accident, a theft...

Iratus: <:/

Claire: But to pit ALL of the cities against each other? I mean... I could understand if it were just two, but...

Harry: Maybe devious, ill-intentioned people are to blame.

Iratus: ... (People like Father...?) <:(

Claire: Perhaps.... but what would someone have to gain from all the cities destroying themselves?

up

Altodd: *he snuggles back a little, still thinking of Shidako* ...

Mikaela: *hates that she can't sleep... she's going to be thinking of this all night* ...goodnight, Altodd...

Altodd: Goodnight... *he's awake for a bit longer before his exhaustion gets the better of him, and he falls asleep*

Mikaela: *as predicted, she ends up worrying and fussing over what had been said that night, and her doubt only grows. did she really mean anything to him...?*

Altodd: *he sleeps peacefully until the morning*

meanwhile

Harry: *in the morning, he still sleeps, his back against a tree*

Iratus: *paces* ...

Claire: *wakes up before he does. She's a bit hungry, but she can wait. she whispers to Iratus* Is something wrong?

Iratus: (No... I was just waiting for you two to wake up.)

Harry: *asleep*

Claire: Ah. Just making sure... Good morning, then. *leans down and gently nuzzles Harry*

Iratus: (Good morning.)

Harry: Mm... *he drowsily wakes up* G'morning...

Claire: Good morning... *kisses his cheek* Sleep okay?

Harry: Very okay. :) *he kisses her back*

Iratus: ...

Claire: Good to hear. :) *gets up, and holds out a hand to help Harry up* What about you, Iratus?

Harry: ^^

Iratus: (I slept okay.)

Claire: Well, that's good. ^^ We continue to Life City, then. :)
