RPG The Separation Game [M-VSL]

[Sky Moonflow]

"We're just lab rats..pawns in their twisted game of fantasty. They slowly force us against one another and watch us go at each other...killing one by one till only one is left. They kill that one too...they kill us all down here. One by one...till we're all gone.."


"It's a harsh life out here, it's their world...they created it. We're just the players in a game that was to be left alone. They gave us what we wanted when we first started...but now..everying has been taken away. Our world is just a nightmare...and we won't ever wake up."

The Separation Game...

Earth...it was just a giant playing field for higher forces. Everything was fine when no one questioned the laws that were made before they were born. Everyone followed the same patteren that was made for them before they even had a choice. People lived and people died...everything happened for a reason...no one ever asked why.

Life goes on and on this way for so many years...a never ending game of pretend. Wars rage through our country and we don't ask any questions. Disease, death, life, war, peace, hope....faith.

The world is fine for so many years...until a little while ago.

A teenager was killed in a tragic accident, or atleast that is what everyone was told. Damien Heller had been a friend to few, but loyal to them all the same. One day, a day that was just like any other...a question had been formed.

"Why is everything taken so readily, it's like no one cares if things happen...they just keep going on..no emotions. It creeps me out, my cousin died just last week and my parents didn't even shed a tear! It's startin' to make me wonder...if there's something more going on than what we can see."

A week went by...and then he died. Him and his mother were driving to school on morning when a truck just slammed into them and knocked them off the side of the bridge...his mother came away with only a few scratches...but Damien had been killed instantly.

The ones he had been in contact with the week before weren't willing to accept this as just another accident. They to began to question this world that they lived in.

All their questions were soon to be answered. Those five friends of Damine Heller woke up one day to a world that wasn't their own...they weren't themselves at all.

They were part of the game they never wanted to play.

"I woke up today, and it just seemed like any other normal day...but in truth, it was far from it. It seems like just overnight eveyone has disappeared, like they just faded away in their sleep. I wasn't afraid, I was never afraid of anything. I looked into the mirror..and I was afraid for the first time in my life. I had grown ears, fangs, a tail, and fur like an animal! After finally seeing that this is how I was now, I accepted things easier.

I quickly decided that for my new look I should change my name so I could fit this place. Rubie Sparrow, that was my name when things were normal...my name now...is Flare.

I walked outside...and things are just like my home...empty. Cars are parked all along the streets, but nothing is moving at all. Time seems to have stopped and I'm the only one out of it. I'm going to go look for more like me...hopefully I'm not alone."

Flare shut off the tape recorder she had found in her parents room and gazed up at the empty sky. A plane was sitting in the sky, perfectly still...it made her feel a bit uneasy.

She took a deep breath and began to walk down the empty streets, there had to be life somewhere.

[Funny Girl]

[COLOR=Lime]Everything was quiet in Mitsuki's house. She went downstairs and found no one. She was a bit worried so she went back upstairs. When she passed by the mirror in her room, she had six wings and a helmet on her head. She knew that her real name wouldn't suit her the way she was and changed her name from Mitsuki Shuro to Misha.

Misha walked outside and said,"I have a bad feeling that things are gonna be ugly around here."

She looked up and saw that nothing was moving and she was the only one out-of-line. She walked down the street to find anyone she could. "Hello! Anyone out there?"

Hmm seems like there's no one. Better say it again," Hello?! Anyone there?!"

Misha continued yelling.[/COLOR]

[DaSilva]

'What is that noise?' Drake thought. 'Just a constant beeping. I don't have an alarm clock. Must be Korey's.'

"Turn it off!" Drake yelled to his little sister. No sound of movement...just a constant beeping. He opened his eyes a little bit. No one was there. Finally, after about 10 minutes of contemplating whether or not he should get up, Drake rolled out of bed and turned the alarm clock off. 'Where is Korey,' he thought. 'Oh well.' He went into the kitchen to get some coffee, but surprisingly, there was none there. 'Mom always makes the coffee,' Drake thought to himself. 'Oh well. I'll just pick some up on my way to work,' he thought. Drake went back to his room and picked up a pack of Camels. He grabbed one and stuck it in his mouth, then grabbed the zippo off of his desk, and in a fluid motion flipped open the top, lit his cigarette and put the lighter in his pocket. Drake took a long draw and inhaled, then remembered that he was supposed to wake his dad up this morning for a meeting. He put the cigarette out, and walked down the hall into his parents room. There was nobody there. 'Oh Well' Drake thought to himself. 'They've probably already gone off to work. I guess I better get ready to do the same thing.' Drake went into the bathroom and splashed some water onto his face to hopefully wake himself up. Afterward, he looked up into the mirror.

"What the hell!?" he exclaimed. "That's not my face!" And indeed, it wasn't his face at all. "What the hell is this?" He asked himself. He ran outside. Nobody was there. "What's going on!" Drake yelled into the emptiness. "Can anyone hear me?" The only reply was his echo. He ran back in and picked his cigarettes up off of his nightstand. Drake stuffed them in his pocket and exited his house. 'Who am I,' he thought. 'Well I am certainly not Drake White anymore. From now on, I shall call myself Locke. He started walking aimlessly down the streets of what he used to know as his town.

[Xerxes]

[COLOR=DarkRed]It was a normal morning for Reis. She got up and went downstairs to see if anyone was there. She realized that her roommates were gone and thought that they probably went to work already. [I]'It seems that they forgot to put coffee into the coffee pot. I'll just go ahead and make some myself,'[/I] she thought as she put the coffee grounds into the pot. After that, she went upstairs to get ready for work. She took a shower and when she got out to get her towel, in the fogged mirror she could see that her hair wasn't black like it always was but it was blonde. She threw on her towel and ran to her room. The mirror on her vantity showed her that she had blonde hair and white wings.

"What the hell is going on!?" she yelled. She threw on some clothes, grabbed a cup of coffee and went outside. She saw that her neighbor next door wasn't out like he always was. The streets of the neighborhood were empty and there were cars in the middle of the street that seemed to be lost in time. [I]'Calm down Reis. It's nothing to get worked up about,'[/I] she thought as she remembered what she looked like and said," Reis doesn't seem to fit the look I'm in now. I'll call myself Toki." She ran down the street to see if she could find any life in the town that was now still.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Sienna]Sergei's first clue that something wasn't right came when he found he couldn't fit through his bedroom door. His second came when he looked in the mirror. The small-for-his-age, timid teenager was gone, replaced by a hulking mass of muscle and power in tattered pants.

He was getting scared. He called for his parents, and found that his voice was much deeper and louder than before. When he yelled, the very room vibrated, and the sound of something fragile breaking in another room rang out, but no one came.

Regaining his composure, he looked around his room to see if there was something unusual. And there was something unusual. In the corner of his room, a large, barrel-shaped object vibrating silently, pulsating slightly. He approached the thing caustiously, and something told him that it was his - a weapon. He reached out and grabbed it by the two oversized metal handles, hefting the massive totem with ease.

He tried to duck and go sideways, but he simply couldn't get through the door. He was left with only one option - break it down. The drywall and plaster put up little resistance as Sergei tore through it with his new-found weapon, making a hole large enough for him to fit through.

There, he searched the rest of the house - and it was a small house, so it didn't take long - and found it empty. Everything else was more or less intact, though, with the exception of a coffe pot that had rattled off the counter when he'd shouted. More perplexed than terrified, Sergei peered out one of the front windows, and found a quite similar scene outside - cars lined the streets, and nothing seemed out of order, just... empty.

He only had one option, now. He didn't know many people besides his parents and neighbours, the only other people were his 5 friends. He knew where they lived, and all he could do was hope they were still there. He crushed his way through the front door, and walked off into the desolate, empty city streets in search of any sign of life.

[I]I am Sergei no longer... Now, now... I am a Bear.[/I]

OOC: Sorry it took so long to post... my computer kept crashing and disconnecting and whatnot. [/COLOR]

[Sky Moonflow]

Flare's ears twitched as the sound of loud footfalls began to come into her area. She crouched low behind some bushes and waited for the person or creature that belonged to that sound to come closer.

Her eyes narrowed as the creature finally came into view, it was a massive bulk of what looked like a man. She lunged out of the bushes with her claws extended and dug them into the creatures arm.

Quickly, she was thrown to the ground like a rag doll and was laying in the shadow of this creature. She bared her fangs and a low growl emitted from her throat. As the creature got closer she drew in a sharp breath.

This thing was no monster, it was one of her friends.

"Se...Sergei?" Her voice sounded a bit rough and animal-like.

He shook his head and spoke in a deep voice "I'm bear now. Aren't...uh...weren't you Rubie?"

Flare stood back up on two feet and took the hulking mass in, this was a bit hard to belive that it used to be little Sergei.

"Was Rubie...just call me Flare now Ser..Bear. What happened to you?"

"Don't know.."

She shook her head and started walking back down the street.

"Come on! Let's see if there's anyone else!"

[Anakoni Stark]

Brian woke up to the sounds of A Static Lullaby Vs. My Chemical Romance "Got to change my alarm to Thrice vs. Alkaline Trio....Maybe later..." He quietly told himself.

He reached over to the left side of the bed, "Hmm. She's probably up now...." He muttered. He got of the king size bed, and shuffled down the stairs, to his surprise he heard no girly humming, or the sounds of foodstuffs on the hobs, "Jessie??? Are you home?? no reply.

He ran around the house in a slight panic, as looked for his girlfriend, "Maybe she went shopping or out to the track, without telling me...yeah, that's it..." He muttered in a harsh whisper, the feeling of paranoia escalated through his train of thought as he ran down the stairs, into the kitchen trying desperately to search for a yellow sticky note, no luck.

It finally hit him, when he looked into the mirror, "Wait a damn second...The costume...it's not supposed to be on, unless I'm in danger....." He thought about taking it off, 5 minutes pass, and nothing happened. "Oh crap, my costume's supposed to do whatever I [B][I]command[/B][/I] it to do!" He walked outside, the cars all neatly parked, it seemed normal, till he looked up into the sky, a plane sat perfectly still. "There's something going on...And it's not good, this better be a dream...I've got to wake up soon." he ran down the street, looking for other survivors.

OoC: Sorry it took so long, I'm very busy at the moment.

[DaSilva]

Locke squinted through the cigarette smoke. 'I really am imagining things,' he thought. 'I've been walking around so much, I'm starting to see things off in the distance. It seems so real, but it can't be. It looks like a winged cat-woman and a huge bear holding a log over his shoulder. Some imagination.'

"Hello!" the cat woman yelled. He heard that. For real. The two started running towards him. Locke didn't know whether they were friend or foe, so he threw his cigarette to the ground and reached into his pants and grabbed the gun he had found just a few minutes earlier. A SOCOM pistol. Same as Mr. Solid Snake. Locke looked up. They were just about 20 feet away from him.

"Don't come any closer!" Locke shouted, pointing his gun at the winged one. It didn't look like the bear--no...the large human--would do any good at all. They both stopped.

"Don't shoot!" the cat woman pleaded. "We mean no harm! We just woke up in this place today, looking like this." Locke lowered his gun. "What about you?" she asked. They ran up next to him. "Did the same thing happen to you?"

"Yes," Locke said. "Before today I was Drake White. Now I am known as Locke."

"Drake?" The man said, in a very low tone.

"Locke," Locke corrected.

"Its us, Rubie and Sergei!" The man said.

"Flare and Bear," the winged one corrected.

"Wow...what are the chances that the three of us friends all end up in this together, while everyone else has apparently disappeared?" Locke asked, rhetorically. "Do you guys know what's going on?" They both shook their heads. "In any case, we better look around for any others that this may have happened to."

They began walking down the streets again, searching for anyone who could join them, or possibly tell them what is going on.

[Xerxes]

Toki walked through the still neighborhood shouting," Is anyone there? Hello!" All she could here was her voice echoing through the streets. She walked by one of her favorite stores that she always visited but never bought anything. She looked into the window and saw the tarot cards that she always liked. She walked into the store and picked up the cards.[I]'Strange, it seems that these cards have some kind of magic in them,'[/I]she thought to herself as she picked up one of the cards and said the name written on it,"The Clow." Suddenly a cursed sword appeared in front of her and started to speak.
"You must be my new master if you are able to read the foreign language on the cards," it said.
"What are you saying? Swords can't talk!" she said
"I am a magic sword that uses the power of those tarot cards to do my biding. It seems that you have some kind of magic inside of you."
"I do? Well, if I am your new master than I guess I can use you when trouble comes my way." she grabbed the sword and the cards and walked out of the store to find others like her again. Soon she saw something that looked like people ahead of her and shouted," Hey! Do you guys know what is going on?!" After she said that, they all turned and stared at her as she approached them and started asking them questions.

[Albert Flasher]

[COLOR=Sienna]Even with company, the still, quietness of the world was terribly unsettling. [I]What happened to all the people? Why the three of us...? Surely there must be more...[/I] Bear asked himself silently as the trio plodded down the barren streets, eyes darting to-and-fro in hopes of seeing someone.

[B]"What the hell is that?"[/B] It was Locke. Bear followed his gaze, and saw a very peculier, golden-haired woman off in the distance. Also of interest were her glowing white wings and shining, golden sword.

[B]"It looks like... a person! With wings."[/B] Flare said enthusiastically, squinting to make out the small figure.

[B]"People don't have wings, stupid!"[/B] Locke said. He paused for a second, looking at her and than back at Bear, [B]"Oh... yea... right."[/B]

[B]"It looks like... Reis."[/B] Bear said.

The figure was getting closer, and the group could hear her saying something and waving.[B] "Hey! Hey! Do any of you guys know what's going on?"[/B] Her voice was rather shrill and high, but it was definatly recognisable as Reis'.

The group ran to meet her, and they quickly introduced each other under their new names. Than, she started asking questions.
[B]
"What's going on here?" [/B]
[B]
"We don't know."[/B] Locke replied
[B]
"Why do we look like this?"[/B]
[B]
"We don't know." [/B]Bear replied.
[B]
"What do we do now?" [/B]
[B]
"Well, the plan was to wander around until we found out the answer to the questions you asked. And, since the 4 of us are here, it stands to reason that Mitsuki and Brian will be here somewhere aswell..." [/B]Flare said uncertainly but enthusiastically.

On that note, the group set off again to wander the abandoned streets in search of answers or other people.[/COLOR]

[Sky Moonflow]

Flare sighed in fustration as they continued down the street. The other two had to be around somewhere, but it just seemed like they were getting more and more lost. Every street looked the same as did every single building they passed.


They continued on and on until finally Locke stopped in the middle of the road.

"Umm...Locke, can we please keep moving." Flare was a bit annoyed.

"Would love to, but I think one of our friends is coming our way."

They all looked up towards where Locke was pointing and the fact that a black and white something was coming rapidly towards them.

The figure landed not to far infront of them and just kinda stood there....

"B..Brian?!" Toki was the first to break the long silence.

The man nodded his head slightly and just gave them all odd stares.

"Oh...yea..right!" Flare was a bit unsteady now. "Yea, I'm now Flare, this is Bear, Locke, and Toki. Guess we were more familliar as Rubie, Sergei, Drake, and Reis..."

OOC: Short...but I'm like super tired!

[DaSilva]

Click. Click. Click. The sound of footsteps. The only think that Locke could hear. No voices, no wind. 'How long had they been walking like this?' he thought. 'Hours? Days? Who knew at this point?'

"You know, I really don't like long uncomfortable silences," Locke finally said to the group. They all looked at him briefly, and then looked back in the direction that they were going, silent the whole time. "Oh, so that's how its going to be."

"Well we don't have much to say at this point," Flare told him.

"True, true." Locke replied. "Well there's got to be something to talk about. Maybe why our bearish friend is carrying a barrel everywhere, for instance."

"Its a weapon." Bear sneered. "And a very effective one. Would you like to see it in action?"

"I'll pass." Locke replied, and continued with the questions. "Or maybe why we're here? Or even wh--shit."

"What," Flare asked?

"Or maybe why everybody but Bear and I can fly!?" Lock exclaimed, pointing upward. There was a large object flailing through the air, with large wings flapping to its sides.

"Its a bird!" shouted Bear.

"Its a plane!" shouted Toki.

"Its Superman!" shouted Alex.

Locke punched Alex in the arm. "Why the hell would Superman be here, and when did he get a tail and wings?"

"I don't know," replied Alex...I was just kind of going with the flow."

"Its Mitsuki!" Flare shouted in excitement.

[Sky Moonflow]

Now that they were all together, they might stand a chance against whatever was out there. The buildings that they passed were all the same, and everything was still envelpoed in this errie silence.

A soft clicking noise was heard as they stopped to rest...it sounded as if someone was coming towards them.

Flare's ears twitched slightly as she quickly looked around, everything was as it should be...

She heard Toki ghasp and she immediately looked infront of her.

Flare stared in shock at their friend Damien...he was dead, they had all been to the funeral...but here he was, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Damien?" She mananged to choke out after a long silence.

Damien pulled out a long sword as his eyes began to turn pure white. He rushed towards them...

OOC: I'll be more helpful as I figure out where I should take this...any questions, pm me or message me on yahoo or aol.

[DaSilva]

'Alright,' Locke thought, 'Gotta think fast. He's my best friend, and I don't want to kill him. I just want to subdue him.' Before Locke knew it, he was taking his belt off. In about 4 seconds, he had the strap end in his palm, and the belt wrapped around his hand twice. 'What the hell?' Locke thought to himself. He didn't know why he did this, but it felt oddly familiar.

Before he knew it, he was charging at Damien, full force. Damien was only about two and a half feet away when Locke swung the belt into his forehead. Black liquid gushed out of the wound that the heavy belt buckle had left. The angered Damien forcefully brought the hilt of his sword down onto Locke's head. Locke fell to the hard pavement and everything went black...

[OOC]Sorry so short...didn't sleep last night...so tired...

[Anakoni Stark]

Brian stared at Damien in disbelief, "But you're supposed to be dead....this can't be, what Lucifer has been up to now?? he said in a slightly puzzled tone, he now noted that Locke was unconscious on the ground, ' [I]well in the first place he wouldn?t hit us back....on that note he wouldn?t come back from the dead...[/I]' he thought.

"[COLOR=DarkRed][B]Damien![/COLOR][/B]" Brian called out in a demonic tone, "[B][COLOR=DarkRed] Just calm down, we're here to help you![/B][/COLOR]", he took noted that the teenager was only a one foot away from him, ' [I]ok, that didn?t help.....[/I]', in frustration and confusion he pulled out his machine pistols, and jumped out of Damien's line of attack.

"Alex, don?t do it!" Toki screamed, ?[B][COLOR=DarkRed]Shut Up! This is for our safety![/B][/COLOR]" He growled, his voice becoming more demonic, he pulled the triggers and two steady streams of 9mm bullets were flying towards Damien, four seconds later, the possessed teen stopped in his tracks, full of bullet holes, that bled, not blood, but a black substance. "What is that stuff?" Bear inquired, "[B][COLOR=DarkRed] I don?t know, Bear[/COLOR][/B]" he replied, on that note Damien hit the ground.

The group reformed and attacked Brian verbally for shooting him down, "[COLOR=DarkRed][B]Look, it was for our safety, would you guys want to be like everyone else? Ghosts?[/COLOR][/B]" Brian growled.

The answer was silence. "[COLOR=DarkRed][B]Exactly, now let's go before ----oh shit.[/COLOR][/B]" The group turned around to see that Damien, wasn?t on the ground anymore, the bullet holes and the gash on his forehead had healed, he stood there as if nothing happened.

The group still stood there in shock, "[COLOR=DarkRed][B]I could of told you he would come back, but that'd result in more---[/B][/COLOR]", Brian was sent flying backwards...straight into a sharp spike jutting out from the rubble.

[Funny Girl]

[COLOR=Lime][B]''Damien! What are you doing? It's us!"[/B] shouted Misha.

With no answer Damien rushed toward Toki about to attack. Misha got in front of Toki and shot a light arrow at Damien. There was a big gapping hole in the middle of Damien that healed slowly. [B]"What!? But...how...?"[/B] and then she was hit by his sword and went flying onto the pavement. Misha hit the pavement with a lot of inpact. And then everything went black for Misha.[/COLOR]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOC: Sorry for having it so short. Didn't get much sleep last night.

[Xerxes]

[COLOR=DarkRed]"What the heck are you doing Damien? This isn't like you!"shouted Toki as she got ready to get a card out and use it on her sword.[I][B]"Card made by Clow, Bestow your magic upon my sword! Sword!"[/B][/I] Suddenly her sword transformed into a more powerful sword that could slice through anything as the heart wished."Now, you're gonna pay for what you did to my friends!" She ran towards Damien and slashed him in half.
"That's the way to do it," said Flare.
As Toki walked away from the slashed Damien, he soon healed himself and ran right after Toki and slashed her arm."Ahhhhh!" she shouted as she hit the ground with blood coming out with no tomorrow. Flare ran towards Toki to see if she was alright." Are you okay Toki?" she asked as she tended to her wound.
Bear charged toward Damien in order to get him back for what he did to his friends. He was hit hard and fell to the ground. Damien soon went after Misha as she regained conciousness and fired an arrow at him hoping that it would stop him long enough for her to get away.[/COLOR]

OOC~sorry if it's to short to what I think, had a long week of stressing for school which is starting soon.

[Funny Girl]

[COLOR=Lime]After she shot Daemien, black ooze started coming out and she ran to get away. She was able to stand and faced her former friend that was being controlled and got ready to shoot and arrow at Daemien. Flare ran towards Misha and got in front of her and shouted, "Don't!"

"Get out of the way! We need to stop this imposter and move on Flare!" shouted Misha angerily.[/COLOR]

[DaSilva]

As Locke began to awaken, he saw blurry images of the others fighting. Fighting his friend, Damien. It seemed as thought He could not be beaten. He healed rapidly, after every wound taken.They couldn't beat him. Not now, they were too weak. Locke looked around. automobiles lined the once busy street. Locke looked around, searching for a van, or something that would hold six people. His eyes cam to an old VW Vanagon.

Locke jumped to his feet, and swiftly ran over to the van. "Please be unlocked, please be unlocked, ' Locke chanted to himself. He pulled the handle, and the door came open. "Wow." That was lucky. Locke hopped in the van. He looked down, below the dash and saw a series of wires exposed. He searched through them, and found the red wire that he was looking for. Locke brought the wire to his teeth and bit it in half. Then he rubbed the two ends together until sparks came out. The car started, and the others looked up.
"Get in!" Locke yelled. Bear slammed his weapon into Damien's face one last time, making him stagger for a few seconds. Everybody piled into the car, and Locke floored the gas. After the short sound of screeching tires, they sped off past Damien, into the town.

[Funny Girl]

[COLOR=Lime]"Locke, where the hell are you taking us? You can see that we're far away from Daemien," said Misha.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. But I'm just making sure that we're as far away from him as possible," replied Locke.

"We need a plan and fast," said Toki.

"Well I'm not sure what to do now but I sure do know that the guy we just saw was not Daemien at all," said Misha.

"Then who was that? It looked like Daemien! What more evidence do you want?" asked Flare.

"I'm not so sure right now. But whatever made time stop around us must be what is controlling Daemien's body," said Misha.

They were sitting in the car with silence until someone could find the right answer.[/COLOR]
