BACK! Posts: 1,013 Group: Moderators Member #5 Joined: Jan 18, 2012	It was a dark, cold night on the nearly deserted streets of downtown Eve. All seemed normal, except for a strained feeling in the air, something felt unnatural, not right. Perhaps it was the distinct silence in the landscape, in a place that normally thrived with the sounds of night life. Or perhaps it was just that, the lack of life. There was no light, other than the occasional flickering street lamp, and even that seemed to only help so much, as the darkness seemed almost palpable, thicker than normal. For the few people who dared to walk out into this night they would feel a soft tingling on their skin, and notice how goosebumps were almost a permanent fixture on their arms. An sense of uneasiness would fill their hearts and minds, no matter how level headed or logical they were. But perhaps the most noticeable part was on one street, the only place where the truly bizarre seemed to thrive. The streets would be distorted and lined with typical everyday items, except they were... altered. Fire hydrants were the size of kettles, tree's as large and thick as three elephants standing on end, and the yellow lines dividing the road were of various sizes, some stretching on for ages, and some only as long as the tip of a thumb. Something odd was at work here, and the few who wandered on the scene may be unfortunate enough to find out exactly what was causing the disturbances.

They were not going to bother her for the time being too. Though she had to admit, there was a tiredness in her shoulders that normally shouldn't have been there. Maybe she simply exerted herself too much a few hours earlier.. Flashback/Training "Oi, what do you think you're doing here?" A voice caused Layla to look up from where she stood, her attention was on the alleyway floor. Coming into her view as she looked up was a man that looked at least twice or three times her size and her face were almost riddled with scars. It didn't take a genius to know that this was a man who didn't know the definition of trouble since he is trouble itself. But still, Layla stared at him with her blue-grey eyes, expression neutral as usual. "You're in my turf, get out of here or else..." The man left the rest of the sentence unfinished as if to scare the smaller woman. Well, with his size and face then yes if Layla Keynes was a normal person, she definitely would've been scared. However, Layla Keynes was not a simple person. She was someone that have faced things worse than this man in front of her after all. And so, under her continuous stare, the man was starting to become unnerved. As if to hide his growing fear, he effortlessly pulled a pipe off the wall and began to twist it in impossible ways by simple human strength. "Found you." Layla said so suddenly that it made the man jump and drop the pipe he was twisting. It clattered loudly on the cement floor and echoed for a small moment. Looking at the pipe, it soon disppeared from their sights and reappeared a few feet above the man's head, where it soon landed with a dull smack. "You...!" It became apparent that the man was someone that gets angry easily. Though it's pretty natural actually. Who would want a steel pipe that you had control of to land on your head anyway? So the man reached foward in an attempt to grab Layla as if to break her... Only to grab air when his arm was a split second away. "You missed me." Layla said mockingly, feeling rather interested in messing with this simple minded man. She had teleported a few inches back, just enough to avoid his hand but not enough for the man to realize what had happened. Sighing once again, this time audibly, the woman stopped by a nearby vending machine and bought a water bottle. Only to realize that she really didn't need to buy it seeing how she could just teleport one into her hands from a store. Shaking her head lightly, Layla turned the corner and strode into a street, only to realize something was very wrong with the place after she stepped in. Everything were out of proportion on the street. "Now what...?" For the first time in a very long time, Layla could almost feel a bit of anger bubbling up inside her. Nothing was going her way tonight and it was suppose to be one of her long awaited times alone. Now that she thought about it, she should've stayed home instead. But now, she was compelled to investigate this eerie place.

Walking a few feet into an ally he quickly climbed an old fire escape to the roof of an old apartment building to see just how far the weirdness went.

Next time, make sure you're on the sign up sheet before joining the event thread.) In the distance a shadowy figure could be seen, all of the disproportioned items leading up to him. He seemed to not be moving, but instead to be thinking and not observing his surroundings, as if he was in a completely different world. However around him the objects began to shift and swell to different sizes in an ever changing cycle. If he was approached people may see and recognize his form. He looked distinct, an unusual looking man. Spoiler: click to toggle Something didn't seem right, it wasn't just the night but the way the man stood there, as if he didn't have a care in the world if anyone approached him. Perhaps it was a trap? Maybe he knew he had unexpected guests, despite the fact that he didn't show any inclination towards that. There was only one way to find out. Who would take the fall? What would this mysterious man do? Or maybe, this had nothing to do with the man at all. The night seems to be alive with a separate, distinctly malevolent presence.

人は何を探すの？ Posts: 191 Group: Members Member #14 Joined: Feb 12, 2012	(OOC: Sorry for filling my post with training >.< Once it's done, I'll be sure to make better posts for the event lol) Layla followed the trail of disproportioned items with her eyes. They led her eyes to a lone man in the distant. She also noticed someone else but since he decided he preferred up high, Layla ignored him. She knew it was strange for a street to be in such a state with a man standing in the middle of it. Was he even human? That was something Layla did not know and was actually interested in finding out. Squeezing the water bottle in her hand, the woman took a quick drink from it, made a small motion to hide what she was about to do and soon the water bottle disappeared into one of the weird sized shrubs on the side. Now she stuck her free hands into her jeans pockets and left them there. The fingertips of her right hand felt the handle of the switchblade she always had in her pocket. She wondered if she would need to use it today. She very nearly did earlier though. She had the urge to stab that simple minded metahuman in the thigh just to wake him up for being so stupid. Flashback/Training "What the hell are you?!" The man said loudly, his voice echoing throughout the alleyway. Layla was surprised that no one came running in to see what was going on. Then again, it wasn't like anyone would care about something that sounds like a struggle over territory anyway. "Someone thinks you belong off the streets..." The woman trailed off quietly. Normally she would not even reply but really, she wanted to mess with the mind of this man just to rid herself of her recent frustrations with them. "And I'm the one that carries the order out." Maybe she was giving up too much information? Why was she assigned to such a mission anyway? This was equivalent to searching for a lost pet. Well, no matter. After this one, she would be left alone for a while so why no finish it? There really was no reason not to. "You do know what happened to all those other that tried, don't you?" Judging from the face the man was making, it seemed like Layla was not the first one to come and try to retrieve him. And it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the ones before her all failed. Just what kind of people did they send to get him? This time, the woman did not reply. Apparently, the man took Layla's silence for fear and he turned away, ready to leave. It was then that Layla laughed, coldly. Taking a step, she suddenly appeared in front of the man before disappearing a second later not before she said "Don't..." Moments later, she appeared in the air, her head at the same level as the man, "Under..." She let herself land with her feet on the ground. "Estimate me!" She finally finished, bringing her dominant hand out of her pocket in a quick practiced move in a stabbing motion at the man's throat. It was her switchblade but the blade was not out. She was not ordered to mortally harm the man so she would not. Shaking her head lightly, the woman tried to focus on the present and slowly approached the man but she would not opening address him. She would simply walk up to him and would stop when she was a few feet away from him.

It almost looked like he was waiting for someone, glancing down the street he noticed a women walking calmily towards the man. Looking around he found an easy and hidden path down a back fire escape, " I need to get closer" he said not noticing that he was talking out loud, he headed down the escape and silently moved to some buildings close to the stranger hopefully in ear shot and there he waited.

BACK! Posts: 1,013 Group: Moderators Member #5 Joined: Jan 18, 2012	[OOC: Sorry about the wait, I've been busy the past couple days facepalm] IC: As they approached the man, it was as if he sensed their presence and he whirled around to meet them. His cold, analytical eyes stabbing into them like knives. He seemed to not miss a thing when he looked at them, as if the slightest movement they made gave him information on their character, the very core of who they were. Just as they were about to come within a few feet or so from him the distance between them would widen. Suddenly the man would be standing half a mile away, still facing them. Just as he was about to speak through the thin line in which his lips were firmly set, the world would freeze around him, including the two people who had approached him. Out of no where another man would appear, a cigarette lit fresh upon his lips. He would walk nonchalantly down to the opposing man who seemed to be the only thing left untouched from the stasis everything else in the area was placed in. Cigarette Smoking Man "Have you located anything useful yet?" the new arrival asked from the side of his mouth, he then gestured to the two frozen people a half mile away, "Are either of them with Them? Or even worth mentioning?" The glasses wearing man snorted, "I have yet to gather sufficient data on the matter Corvin. Crawl back to the place you came from and perhaps I'll gather the information we need." "Fine," Corvin replied, "But you had better get us something to do quickly Neil, I'm not the only one getting restless." With that he took out a pebble from his pocket it and chucked it about halfway between Neil and the two opposing strangers. When it reached its position it exploded, a large force coming from such a small object. As the concussion grew in size it suddenly stopped, placed in the same stasis like state everything else had been placed in. Afterwards the world returned to its normal state, aside from the explosion, and Corvin had disappeared. Edited by VeiledInsanity, May 22 2012, 03:13 PM.

人は何を探すの？ Posts: 191 Group: Members Member #14 Joined: Feb 12, 2012	(OOC: Sorry this is so short >.<) As Layla reached the man, she had planned to study the man but apparently the man didn’t have that idea in his mind. She wasn’t sure what happened but it soon became apparent that the strange street and the man had something in common. However, she was not sure if he was the one that caused the street to be in this state. One moment, Layla was studying the man who seemingly moved without actually moving. In another he was gone. The only evidence that he might’ve been there before was the strange street and an explosion that appeared out of nowhere. Being quick on her feet, Layla teleported herself a few feet behind her, wary of her surroundings and listening for any indication that someone hostile might be nearby.

BACK! Posts: 1,013 Group: Moderators Member #5 Joined: Jan 18, 2012	[OOC: We'll continue No more making you wait!] As the world returned to normal Neil noticed that the man that had been here earlier was now gone. He must have snuck off while he wasn't looking. However this woman was the one that had intrigued him anyways. He had an odd feeling that she may be the link he was looking for, and he was always interested in continued testing for more data on the situation. Without any apparent effort from him, the distance between the two of them shortened considerably, bringing Layla a few meters away. They were within talking range, as he had intended. He pushed his glasses up further across his nose with the palm of his hand as he waited. He always believed that good things happened to those who wait, it was why he rarely spoke first in a conversation.

Actually, in her haste to figure out if there were any hostiles nearby, she had clearly overlooked the fact that there was still a strange man on the strange street. Her hand tightened in her pockets, her right hand now completely wrapped around the only weapon that can cause physical damage in her disposal. “Who are you?” The woman would ask in a collected voice that surprised even herself considering how wary she was at the moment. Layla didn’t bother with asking why he was there or what he was up to. That wasn’t something that a person like Layla would ask. She somehow felt that the man and herself were somewhat similar but she couldn’t say what it was.

Out of all the questions you could have asked you went with the most typical one. Unfortunately this question rarely sates a persons curiosity. I am Neil Robert, and perhaps your next question will be a tad more thought out." He smiled as he finished his words and the world around Layla would begin to distort around her. Rapid changes of her distance toe everything around her would begin to fluctuate and everything would seem strange and seem almost as if they were moving. A few minutes after this disorientating experience started, it would end, just as suddenly as it had begun.
