Lucy – Now – The Zigg

The man was fairly nondescript, but Lucy noticed his eyes glinting slightly when he smiled as she sat down. She began to speak but he held up a finger and withdrew a black case from the inside of his suit; it looked like recording equipment but after it was set down on the table the ‘lawyer’ relaxed noticeably,

“There, now we can talk,” Lucy didn’t answer, but the man didn’t seem to mind, perhaps he expected it, and he continued in level tones, “My name is Mr. Darrock, I am employed by a Mr. Mason, who, if I may speak bluntly, is interested in your services.”

The only response he got was a raised eyebrow, a sign of slight interest at best, but Mr. Darrock was not deterred and plunged onwards, “My employer is looking to make a team, a team of people loyal to him who will accept his authority and work on behalf of his causes. I am proud to inform you that you are one of the few which have been chosen to embark upon this adventure.”

Lucy spoke, “So I assume if that is the case then I will not be cramped inside this hell-hole much longer?”

“Oh of course not,” Mr. Darrock smiled, “You, and your team-mates, will be removed simultaneously from D-Block as soon as it is possible.”

“But I am not in D-Block.” Mr. Darrock’s smile widened,

“Now Ms. Lucy, I am sure an imaginative young girl like yourself will be able to think of a way to get herself into trouble; many others far less capable seem confident enough.” Darrock was relieved to see that the little jab incited some physical response, if only the clenching of manacled hands under the desk.

“Weapons and clothing will be distributed amongst you once the escape begins, as will assistance from some of Mr. Mason’s associates. In return for our aid and offer of employment, however, we ask a few things of you.”

Lucy nods, and Darrock continues, “We would ask you do not try to discover the identity of Mr. Mason, we would ask that you obey him, and we ask that in whatever private undertakings you may participate in that you do not incriminate Mr. Mason in anyway, if you do, please be aware you will be severely punished.”

At this point Lucy spoke up, “You assume a lot Mr. Darrock, what if I do not want to participate in your Mr. Mason’s ‘team’.” Darrock sighed, and after rummaging around in the innards of his jacket he produced a small brown envelope which he proceeded to slide across the table to the girl, who awkwardly opened it. Her reaction was nothing more than a sigh, but after the envelope was returned she nodded as well, “Okay then, I’ll be in D-Block by the time I’m needed, I trust that that is all you need?” When the lawyer didn’t answer Lucy stood, walking back outside into the restricting arms of a pair of guards, she licked her lips as she walked along the corridor, already she had a chance.

Lucy – Now – The Zigg
Female Block

The cameras panned over the cell and surveyed the scene below. Two girls, one on each bed, staring intently at each other over the intervening gap of a few metres that separated them and kept the peace. Hands itched and both clawed at their sheets in frustration.

One had black hair, long and lustrous, hanging down her back in a flowing mess of tangled ends and matted clumps, unkempt and dirty. She wore the Zigg uniform, an orange jump-suit and a prisoner number, yet all was but a distraction from her eyes, which were such a dark brown as to be black and seemed to sink into her head, opening a window to a soul, both empty and hollow. Right now her lips were curled in sadistic pleasure as she attempted to torment her adversary across the room.

The other girl was smaller, more ‘petite’, and her eyes were as white as her cell-mates were black. Underneath the orange suit her body looked well maintained, strong and athletic yet lithe and well toned. Her identifying feature however was her hair, curled into dreads and combed back over her shoulders. It was beautifully arranged, a sign that the girl was new, and the pink hair dye was still vivid and strong, occasionally interspersed with streaks of red.

A voice sounded over the comms, gravel-like and husky, yet in a way kind, that is, as kind as any voices heard inside this concrete tomb, where the trash and garbage of the fair Rogue Isles were sent to rot out of the sight of public eyes and out of the reach of public minds. The voice spoke,

“Ms. Andrews, you’re to leave, please stand.”

The woman with the black hair did as she was told, her eyes never leaving her opponents as she strided confidently to the door of the cell and left in the custody of a pair of guards to another cell, far far away from her previous cell-mate, as far as possible, so that future repercussions could be, for the most part, avoided.

Lucy – Then – Kings Row

Everyone always said that Lucy had her mother’s eyes, and now she did, container A247.B, alongside her father’s heart, A247.C. So beautiful in their clear cases, supported in a gel, the eye staring and the heart still beating, shaking the shelf ever so slightly and causing its other tenants to rattle or squelch in their cases.

Perfect, Lucy smiled, she would of course keep the rest, but these would be her pride and joy for a few days before they lost her interest and were forced to compete with others for her loving eyes that began to stare so adoringly at others. Lucy walked, along the isle, calm as can be with a cardboard pad in her hand and a pen dancing between her fingers, the long laboratory coat she wore billowing out behind her in the artificial wind of hundreds of ice-cold jets, designed to keep the warehouse as cold as possible.

Stepping into the sun Lucy smiled again, what a glorious day, another day of wonders in this black city upon a green earth within a universe of wonders.

Lucy – Now – The Zigg

“Enjoying you’re sleep are you darling?”

The voice echoed around the empty room and into the ears of the girl on her bed, who sat up, slowly bringing herself upright and her eyes level with that of the warden outside the bars of her cage. He was escorting another girl, this time with blond hair and tattoos that covered the entirety of her bare flesh revealed by the jump suit.

Another punk, a boring, predictive, image obsessed punk. Lucy fell back onto her bed with a groan as the woman was ushered inside by men with tasers. The woman advanced on her, preparing to assert her dominance, in plain sight of the guards who had only just begun to round the corner and Lucy wondered why on earth she’d let herself get into this mess.

As the pattering of feet began to fade away the voice of the warden shouted around the corner, to the whole of the prison as much to Lucy and her cell mate,

“Have fun you two!”

When out of ear shot he turned to his friend and laughed, saying after a second,

“$10 say we’re moving the new girl out by the end of the week.”

i'd be interesting in learning more about this when i can, and quite possibly have a new character that would work quite well here too called The Farceur. I'm on at @Leprechaun. (remember dot at end, i know it's annoying =S) so if there is a channel it would be cool to listen in and see what's going on =)

(( well, i got the impression that the team had begun to break down slightly? and as i said earlier, Ussus' infrequent visists are mainly due to having meetings for other SGs on mondays as well which makes it difficult to attend =P ))

i think i'm gonna try again
i failed last time but oh well lol, hopefully will do better this year! will do CoH theme as well i think =)

great recap!
lol, couldn't of put it any better =D
and since we have people missing Slamex, i think a place for you is open at the moment, although, i'd ask Speccy about it

i may be late today guys cause of lots of activites blah blah blah, which are going on late into the day, hopefully i will be back by 8 but you know... just as a warning =P

+ Really enjoyed the session yesterday! was great fun, can't wait to get round to interacting more with the other RP groups and heroes =D

(( oo, first post ))

Ussuskimo's race have no name for themselves but are known by many names to others, either by the individual names of the 20+ tribes on the planet or as 'lizards' etc. Ussuskimo is part of the albino and rarest tribe and was their leader and was considered a 'super-powered' being among his people. All of the lizard-people are generally valued as good soldiers, leaders and experts in martial combat, they're fairly intellegent but due to a soceity revolving mainly around war their other aspects are slowly dissapearing, art, music etc.

okay probably not direct quote:

Arrow Flame: "so, asides from the pipe bombs, the nuclear missiles, sticking to the ceiling, setting things on fire, destroying the furniture, stressing your mother and putting a grenade in Tabaam's mouth what did you do?"
Ebon Child: "who said it went in her mouth..."

Arc, i'm sure you can remember some more from OOC convo's etc...? lol

now then this sounds interesting

are you suggesting making new characters for this?
or adjusting old ones?
since my villains at the moment i don't think you work

Sanctus Vir

now the hard ones...
another x-men one here... =S add blank white eyes, blondish hair and a soul patch and i think you could have... (admittedly looking a bit [censored] off here but i found it really hard to find one for him):

Gauisus Somnium

With shock white hair and blue eyes this could be Sophie:

Ebon Tear

and finally Zian.. i can't do Zian... difficult... okay, not going to *try* for that one since it was hard enough for the other ones and i can't imagine Zian as human really... =D

so those above are it

i have, as a lot of people i talk to on CoX know, a long standing feud with lesbian characters in particular. Hell, i know maybe... 4 g*ys? and 3 lesbians in RL, 2 of which are in my family =S but for some reason i just don't like the amount of lesbians RPed, i know i can't do anything about it, lol, and i never say to anyone, 'i think what your doing is wrong', but i just don't like it...

Of course, this isn't cause they are lesbian, but cause they are 20+ yr old guys sitting at home RPing dykes so that they get a kick out of it... (sorry, i know that is not true for everyone). I always thought that say Spearmint and Crimson were good characters as far as the fact that, hell, there are gays, but sometimes i know i turn up at PD or GG and there isn't a straight lass in sight...

gah, sorry, for rantish thing, and yeah, i have only met 3 g*y characters in CoX, all of which have been mentioned here, but i expect you could always say Crimson has an NPC partner for a while? although obviously it ain't the same

I've already got some pretty good ideas of what will happen to my characters, some admittedly, more surprising than others, i assume there will still be time for casual RP when a group of heroes are off duty to rest, of course you can't sit around talking about nothing but it should mean not all RP is based in a war zone?

Also, anyone know how long the war will go on since although i actually quite like the sound of it for some RP if it goes on for ages it might well get annoying.

So yeah, i have a few characters, most will take up their capes and fight, but i have already talked with people and have stories worked up for a couple of things to happen right at the start, but no spoilers ;]

hello again,
the subject of all of this came up again on the GGOOC channel so i am putting a post on here to find out who is still interested since it seems at least a few still are

so, who still wants to help with this?

sounds like a good idea dude but sorry already trying to cut down on my commitments otherwise i would join you, hope it gets going for whoever wants to do it =]

Konnichi wa, Stalingrad san.

Tantvalist mentioned this matter in passing this evening, and I was immediately interested. The toon I was playing at that moment has long been rootless and uncared for, since she really should be a ninja stalker, yet I cannot face that lonely path. Thus, she remains a frequently remade Scrapper. I would love the chance to experience a good RP SG/VG once again. (Since the Cirque de la Lune passed I have been homeless, though the Silent Tempest have been kind enough to put up with me sometimes.) And yet, I am afraid, I am an inconsistent RPer due to time constraints. Because of this I would not think to ask for a full place at your family table. I would be honoured, however, if you would allow me to show interest and a passing association with your family.

My main Villain is a Ninja MM, and would be a more than passable "family ghost" (or demon?) I would have thought. Else, I would like my young ninja disciple to have a chance to find that family at last.

In all such things, I am sure that only time will tell.

In any event, I wish you every success in your undertaking.

[/ QUOTE ]

well it would be great to have you along PT, as you can see we're just getting started at the moment, having only just got a character high enough to actually make the VG, but now that it has i think we're going to start going strong.

As far as time constraints on RP that is fine of course, and either or both of your characters would be welcome, they don't need to be a main part of the family if you do not wish them too, maybe a 'contact', family friend kinda thing, although i am afraid i am not completely sure what you mean by a family ghost or demon? =S

and as far as the people, i know everyone except for 1 or 2 people who have joined the VG so far and i know they are all nice people and good r/pers and am much looking forward to the meetings and the r/p that's been done so far, if quiet, has been interesting =]

well hopefully i can talk to you further in game, and as you say, only time can tell. =]

okay guys, have decided on the clan name of Shimura and when i get in game, back when the servers are up, i shall make the SG and start inviting people.

Below is an updated family tree for those who are confused, anyone who is reading this and wants to get involved the '???' places are where it would be nicest to have new members fill, of course if you don't wish to fill these and do wish to join then by all means do but these are places that would be nice to be filled, as long as everyone is happy with that =)

Family Tree

i would just like to say for anyone about to make characters there is no fixed leveling at the moment, as i know with this many teams break down, only being able to get characters to one level can dull the experience, so currently we have a spread from lvl 10 to lvl 1, look forward to seeing you all in game =D and remember to join the NinjaOOC channel if you still have a slot open ;]

currently the name is: 'The Shimura Clan'
The Motto is: 'Those who are born by the sword, live by the sword and die by the sword' ((open to be changed, it was just a quick idea))
And the ranks are:

-Clan Leader
-Feild Commander
-Assassin
-Jounin
-Genin

and these as well are open to change

okay, lvl 10, can actually make the VG now, but first we need a name =)

so far we have a few suggestions, my favourite now being Shimura, suggested by Kun =) anyone else got any suggestions or ideas? want to make it soon so please input from everyone =D if you want to help with the choice
