Digital Snow - A story of survival

[Cobalt Katze]

[ Alright guys, it's time to shake things up a bit. This is an RP, but it is also a game of survival. Stereotypes can be used, but unlikely things are also quite welcome. Magical instant solutions to problems will be looked down upon, logic will be glorified ]

Static. A sound of white and dark lights upon the air was what woke Cobalt up. He rubbed the back of his neck as he sat up. Looking around, he found himself to be in a world of grey. Black streets lined the ground, covered by a snow that didn't seem to generate any sensation of cold...

Strange, Cobbi thought to himself.

Then an unexplainable sound caused the furre to rush to his feet, fur shifting to white in a defensive reflex. He drew a pistol and held it out, rushing to the source of the sound: a small tunnel the street fell into as it went deeper into the unkown city. He could hear the rush of a sewer from several grates on either side of the street, yet he pushed forward into the darkness. Cobalt channeled some energy into his sight and the world around him became 10x brighter, allowing him to see the person infront of him...

[ enter person :3 ]

[Sperrit]

[Here we go again, buddy!]

*Sperrit stepped forward out of the shadows of the alley, arms held out in welcome at finding his old friend*
"Cobi! You were the last person I'd expected to see here! I know you're a city dweller by nature, but I thought that there were people in this city that were looking for you. What is this place? I got here over an hour ago, but I haven't seen anyone around and this weird snow stuff is creeping me out. Where are we?"

[Cobalt Katze]

Cobalt braces himself and staggers backwards, surprised by Sperrit despite his good intentions. As he talks, Cobalt sits down and leans against the tunnel wall, attempting to catch his breath..

"I.. really have no idea where this is, Sperrit.. This is not the city I originated from. Do you feel any cold from this place..? I may be.. out of perportions.. No idea what's wrong.. Or where this is.."

He looks up

"Or even if you, like the snow, are real or not..."

[Aindriahhn]

*Aindriahhn struggled to move under the large, strange metal box that pinned him to the ground, he felt pains in his chest that seem to wax and wane as he moved. He was vaguely aware that he was bleeding, he felt as if he lay in a pool of warm water. Suddenly he noticed his surroundings "where am I?", he thought, before darkness surrounded him*

[Aindriahhn]

ooc:Where is everyone?

bic:*Aindriahhn grunts with pain as he regains consciousness, he here's familiar voices in the distance and yells to them* "Help me, over here" *trying to ignore the pain in his chest as he yells*

[Cobalt Katze]

OOC> Ain, I've been waiting for Sperrit to make a responce, but it looks like he's probably away for a bit. So I'll make a move.

Cobalt blinked as he heard a distant voice calling out, distracting him from trying to figure out just what was going on. He looked around, narrowing in on the direction the voice came from. Cobalt recognized it coming from on top of the bridge and sprinted backwards out of the tunnel. He leaped straight up and onto the bridge.

"Ain!"

Cobbi pondered as he moved, attempting to lift the large metal box from on top of the red haired one, only to have his furry paws slip on the shiny surface. He then tried digging his claws into the box, yet his strength could not accomodate the immense mass of the obscure object..

"Almost seems as if this box was here even before you were, Ain... I may be an idiot or a genious for thinking this, but let me try one more idea..."

He then drew a knife from his side, and began to thrust it towards the box. But before he could, the world darkened and time seemed to stop... The box began to glow. However, despite the frozen world, the furre was still able to think. He thought to himself "What the... just let me attack!" and as he thought the second phrase, the world returned to its animate state, and Cobalt thrust the knife at the box. As contact was made, the box swiftly faded away.

Cobalt raised a brow and sat down slowly, reaching for some restorative medacine in one of his vest's pouches for Ain.

"Snow that doesn't melt or give off cold.. a world that halts.. a box that can't be lifted or moved, yet destroyed by a single knife thrust..? Just where the hell are we?"

Suddenly the world around the three began to fade away, and a marble floor replaced the ground. They were standing in a row, and out of the surrounding darkness a strange creature arrived... At first glance, it seemed to be a sort of black worm, yet it squirmed and rolled over, exposing nine white eyes on its underbelly. It squealed in delight and five more emerged from behind it. After a brief pause, the worms launched into the air towards the three~

[Aindriahhn]

Aindriahhn drew his sword, confused beyond any hope of redemption. Standing there with strange worm-beasts flying towards him, he did the best he could to keep from laughing or crying or falling down and ripping out all of his hair. Out of a whim he look at his blade, suddenly aware that it reflected nothing, no even the light from the room. Experimentally he slashed it across the air, it left a trail, the end bending slightly back before stopping and wobbling back and forth slightly like ... liquid? Aindriahhn turned to Katze as the worms continued to approach. "Bloody hell, what's goin' on?"

[Akira]

::power slides up next to ain and holds hands together generating a frosty mist... im ready to fight. starts shooting balls off ice at the flying worm thingys, yet they are not strong enough.holds hands together and moves left hand upwards making a sword of ice.starts slashing upon the worms chopping them in half and sees the liquid...your guess is as good as mine ain, steps back making sword melt and offering to let others take a shot at the worms::

[Cobalt Katze]

As soon as the first worm is slain, it turns pure white and melts into the ground. The other worms do the same as they are defeated. The group is then back on the streets. However, Sperrit seems to be missing as the three stand there in the snow.

Cobalt blinks and looks around, wondering where his friend is. "Sperrit! Where'd ya go off to?"

The sun, previously high in the sky, now begins to set and lights in the city turn on one by one. Out from under the bridge's tunnel that looks to lead into the city, an old man wanders out dressed in a dark grey cloak. He turns to the bewildered party and lets out a heavy sigh.

"Good travelers," he says, "It will do you no good to meander abroad in these regions.. especially during the season of the Teufelschnee. Come, we welcome you with open arms. Come stay in our finest inn, dine on our finest dishes. I sense you have endured much confusion. To this you may find answers, for we know all there is to know about the mysterious demons you may have encountered. Come, thru this tunnel."

He beckons with his hand.

Cobalt, at the head of the party, raises his brows and turns back to his two companions.

"I'm not one to trust anyone, but I believe we may fare better inside these kind peoples' hospitality than out here in the snow... Shall we?"

[Aindriahhn]

"hmmm, perhaps, but mayhaps not?*
