((Geeze, Soviet, six chars at once? O_o;;; You're FAR more skilled than I am))
*Ding dong* "Alright, I would stay, but I just got a call and I need to go."
"Bye dad."
"Bye."
With that Shinji left his son Roy at the door with a note.
*Door opens*
"Hi I'm Roy, my dad said just give you this note and I should be ok."
Attached to this letter is all the forms I needed to fill out and such. Sorry for not being able to greet you at the door but I needed to leave. Sincerely, Shinji
Anna and Kathode ceased their fighting for a moment and both charged towards the snack table.
Cobalt walked in slowly and looked at all the robots and other machinery present. Over her shoulder she carried a small black backpack which looked very worn. A little spider-legged robot crawled out of it and came to rest atop her head.
Naga went invisible when the shreiking began. Suddenly the invisible lizard-girl pounced into the air and tackled Schizo while shouting "RARRR" at the top of her lungs.
Rosalind paused her crying and began to laugh as Reikoff and Naga simultaneously attacked Schizo.
"Hahahaha...Hey, more new kids! Cool!!"
"Ssh-ssh-ssh..." Essex said, leaning into the room with a little smile. "One of our new guests is sleeping now. Le'ts use our inside voices, Rosie."
"Muh-muh, inside voices..." the were-human muttered, her ears and tail drooping. "So who are you guys?"
The snack table was equipped with healthy food - carrot sticks and oatmeal bars set out for everyone.
Japancakes.

The sound of wood banging on the door reached her ears. When the door opened a small boy with long blonde hair and pointed ears stood in the entryway. He wore a white T-shirt, and black shorts. He held a wooden sword in his hand, and he smiled.
"YAY! I did it. I beated the door."
He walked inside, smiling. He put the wooden sword at his waist. He looked up at the other kids playing, his smile widening. Then he walked up to Essex, and tapped her leg.
"I'm Toulon... like the number two," He held up two fingers, "and lawn. Like the grass," he chuckled, cause he told everyone that.
Then he turned to Rosie, "Ooh, Doggie."
"I got the hand, Archie," came a small voice from around Archlich's knee.
Looking down, Archlich saw one of Toy's action figures holding up a skeletal hand. The lich quickly snatched it up and reattached it before patting the plastic robot on the head.
"Good job, Mini Bot. Now go and gather up your master and the others," he said. "It's 'snack time'."
Sighing again as he noticed Moonscribe's rainshower and Rosie's wail, the lich steeled himself against doing anything violent and set about fixing things.
A quick hex negated Moonscribe's stormcloud and a heat spell evaporated the water out of the carpet the kid was sitting on. Since he seemed to enjoy being wet, Archlich left his blanket alone. Then, he reached over to a convenient table, pulled out a couple of paper towels and knelt down in front of Rosie.
"Hold still, girl," he said as he wiped her face clean. "Just remember that you can always get him back for it later."
"Ghoul would so win," Ghoul huffed as he toddled over to the snack table and snagged a trio of peanut butter granola bars. He glared at everyone around him, daring them to take them away, before waddling back over to a bright colored chair on the left side of the room to munch.
"Los'a people. O_O," Toy said from the foot of the stairs. On the steps above him were arranged his toy robots, all six of which were talking to themselves. Every now and then, one of them would suddenly slump over and stop talking. Some industrious cranking of their back crank would start them up again.
Statesman said let there be heroes, and there were heroes.
Lord Recluse said let there be villains, and there were villains.
NCsoft said let there be nothing, and there was nothing.
"What's with this rabbit food?" Kathode complained when she saw the snacks which had been laid out.
"Where's the sugar? We want sugar!" Anna started chanting.
"Master! Help!" Mini-Bot cried as he ran through the room as quickly as he could. Hot on his heels was Cobalt, brandishing a screwdriver and a mischevious grin.
"Hey! >_<" shouted Toy as he jumped forward. "Le' em go!"
Stumbling forward, Toy tripped over his own cape blanket and hit the ground. The impact caused him to fire a bolt of energy from his hands right at Cobalt. The bolt wouldn't do much more than stop the girl in her tracks though.
Statesman said let there be heroes, and there were heroes.
Lord Recluse said let there be villains, and there were villains.
NCsoft said let there be nothing, and there was nothing.
Schizo laughed uproariously at being attacked and was soon floating around the room, tossing burrs at Naga and Reikoff.
Moonscribe continued to type, ignoring Archlich's cleaning efforts.
"D! J! E! H! U! T! Y!"
Lightning abruptly struck the electronic toy, causing it to smoke. Moonscribe did not seem to care, and toddled off, making typing motions with his fingers. His feet occasionally seemed to float off the ground for a second.
Hallucinogen stirred in Essex's arms. "Essex? Is dere weally any point to wife? Seems all futile an' meaningwess."
((Oh this'll be great!))
A little boy happily rode past the daycare center, riding a tricycle and humming a happy, if off key, tune.
From the sewer grate ahead a small green puddle appeared.
The boy made a gag face as he swerved to avoid it, but the ooze followed him!
He pedaled faster, huffing and puffing, until a small cry ran out as it caught up to him, and covered him in a single leap.
There were a few popping sounds and snaps until the boy stood, wearing black armor with a red belt, gloves, and boots, covered in skulls and bones, along with a red helmet with a fearsome face etched into it.
Two small boys appeared behind him from a pool of shadows, their skin gray.
They had wide grins and brandished plastic swords wildly, a second sword and shield on their backs.
A third, slightly taller boy came next, in a long robe. He fidgeted with the belt on him and his hood, before following Blightlord as he walked away.
"My word, I think something 'appened," said the small Lich, Grime.
"I shaw find the cause," said the boy as he walked away.
Another boy was coming the other way, wearing a green hood that only showed glowing, red eyes and footy pajamas with little black flames coming up the arms, legs, and a small fireball on the chest.
He had a green towl stitched onto it, and stopped when he saw the four.
He pointed at Blightlord and laughed. "You look funny." The air shimmered and lines seemed to draw into his finger as he accidentally took the heat from around him.
Blightlord was encased in a block of ice.
Muck and Guck fell over laughing as Grime sighed and began trying to thaw him out.
Burning laughed again, gleefully running to the daycare, a small note pinned to the back of his hood.
The ice quickly melted and Blightlord shook his head looking back towards where Burning had ran. "What we do now, my word?" asked the Lich.
"Fowow him..."
He ran into the daycare, and saw Essex. He ran up, momentarily lifting off the ground as he did, and tugged on her leg.
When Essex took the note, she would see it read, 'I suggest you fireproof everything.'

"ooh...." Ani cooed as she saw Mini Bot running, quickly ploting out it's most likely path, the red-head strung some of her yarn across the way and hid behind a chair, a net in one hand and her own screwdriver in the other.
Stell, in the meantime, had floated up to the table and hadgrabbed a hand full of carrot sticks. She was sitting crosslegged in the air while watching the others when she sneezed. A burst of light and a large, for a child, armored form fell heavilly to the ground. It looked around, giving the impression of surprised blinking before resuming her munching on a new carrot stick.
Pinnacle
Heroes
When in danger, or in doubt; Run in circles, scream and shout.
A young girl with dark blond hair and olive skin stood in the door frame as it mysteriously opened. She was wearing a purple shirt and had a jean dress with over all straps. A grey kitten bag was strapped over her shoulder. In her hand was a few paper that had been filled out by a quick hand. "Hello?" Her name was Io, though she called herself Sister Io more often than not. "Anybudy here?" She asked as she suddenly felt herself tripped by Ani's trip cord. She hit the ground sprawled and then stopped cold for a moment before grabbing her rug burned knee and cry.
"Siwwi metahooman! You are owtclass'd!" Reikoff laughed, popping his popgun one more time.
Before he spied the snacks.
"Dis is owtraygus! If me wuz in charge, der'd be cookies fur ebrybody!"
This prompted a hoowah from both Trolls.
((Taking all bets! Which enemy group in CoH and CoV is Sister Io from? The winner gets absolutely nothing! Everybody plays! Only I win! 
))
((.... KoA?))

((Damn that was fast. Yeah, she's a Knife. I made her simply because I've never seen one Roleplayed before.))
Essex sighed briefly, looking down at Hal.
"Sh..." she said, with a calm smile. She ran her thumb gently down the bridge of the child's nose and tapped the end with a forefinger. "That's the good thing about being a kid. You don't have to worry about things like that until you're older."
Clearing her throat, sonic generators suddenly hummed online within her. She spoke in a loud, yet soothing voice, easily heard by all the children in the house.
"All right, kids, everyone please go to the front room with Mister Archlich. I'll be out there in just one moment."
Looking to all the parents/guardians still gathered in the foyer, she smiled a little.
"I know it seems a little crazy, but the Bright Star is well-equipped to handle all children of all abilities, and is strongly-protected mostly thanks to the incantations of Sir Archlich here. Please don't worry. Just make sure you write down any special instructions and let us know when you'll be back to visit."
With that, she went out to gather up the newcomers she had spied outside once again, and led them into the room.
"Would all of you kids get into a circle please?" she murmured with a smile.
Japancakes.

Prikker and Snikker plopped down with a thump, while the group of future card-carrying NRA boys sat down on the opposite side.
Blightlord and his fun-sized undead stormed through the front door.
They spotted Burning following Essex. Blightlord pointed at him, saying, "Kiw him."
Muck and Guck took out a plastic sword and what looked like a frisbee with duct tape on the back and charged, yelling loud enough for the whole daycare to hear.
They quickly caught Burning and started whacking him with the plastic swords.
Grime mumbled a spell. He eagerly waited to see the dark magic fire, but his shoulders slumped as he saw the small black cloud that slowly drifted.

Toy's energy bolt hit Cobalt in the back and sent her flying on her face. "Meanie!" She yelled at him as she tossed a grenade from her backpack at him, which promptly exploded in midair and covered Toy with silly string.
Meanwhile, Naga made another pounce at Schizo. Her lizard legs were much better at leaping than human ones, and as such she sailed high into the air and intercepted the flying boy. Opening her jaw wide, the lizardgirl chomped down on his leg and refused to let go.
Both Anna and Kathode seemed distressed, each clutching their ears. "What is that noise?"
"Hey, hey, hey..." Essex said, relegating Hal to her hip while kneeling down next to where Muck and Guck were attacking little Burning. "Let's play nice right now, okay?"
With that, she began leading them towards the center room with the others.
Japancakes.

The twins ignored her, still beating Burning with the toys.
Brawler's lip quivered as he ran over to Essex, and leapt up, flying to cling onto her neck.
The two tried to climb her legs to get at Burning, who was flailing his own wildly to keep them away.
Grime's cloud finally caught up to them, and made it difficult to see.
Blightlord was furiously tossing vial after vial behind him.
"Awl of the chemicawls in this set are cowored water!" he said, storming up to Essex angrily. "Where is the cywanide?"

The noise had finally gotten to little Virelai. She woke up with a start, jolted by both pain and a coughing fit as she struggled to get the hat off of her face. She waved her free arm dismissively, smacking the hat away, then stared up at the ceiling while breathing deeply, her scarred eye blurring as she tried to adjust back to painful reality.
Still coughing, she sat up and looked down at the toy revolver in her hand, then over at the hat she had smacked away. Gritting her teeth against the pain (but still letting out a sniffle as tears welled at the edge of her eyes), she reached out to grab the hat, snatching it...
...and tumbled right off the edge of the couch, smacking against the ground.
She simply lay there, staring up at the ceiling, her eyes wet as she gritted her teeth, sniffling furiously as her eyes welled up, still coughing and hacking wildly.
Lili put away her juggling balls and walked towards the front room to find this Mr. Archlich person. There were so many new faces! She'd never remember them all...but she decided she simply had to try. It was somehow right and proper that she should know everyone...know what they were like, what they were good at, what they weren't so good at. Then it would be easy to pick the best games! Oh, what fun everyone would have! Everything would be just so...
"And in this moment, I will not run.
It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands."

((Damn straight!!))
"Bang!" Reikoff exclaimed, proceeding to fire a cap at Schizo's head.
((OOH! One more...))
"Heeeey!" Came a squeal, and a fourth boy charged in the door, holding a toy helicoptor in his hands.
