“It’s a real pleasure to meet you!” Nictren said shaking Flit’s hand. “We’ve heard things about you, work you’ve done, and–“

That’s when a hole appeared in Nictren’s head.

Blood began to pour out, and Nictren’s head slumped to the desk. Years of training were all that kept Truthless and Flit alive. While Truthless’ mind was still in shock, trying to process what happened, his body immediately dropped down to the floor while swiping Flit’s legs from out underneath her as well, causing her to tumble to the floor as well. Two shots rang out, and the bullets intended to kill Truthless and Flit flew overhead.

Truthless rolled towards the attacker, tangling his legs. Truthless got a glimpse of his face as he fell. Drat, it was one of the guards? I thought we background-checked those guys! 

While the guard was falling, Truthless drew his gun, and whipped the butt towards the guard’s head. The guard moved his head to the side, the punched Truthless in the gut. Truthless gave a grunt, but kept the guard pinned to the ground. He never saw the gun until it was too late.

The other guard had drawn his gun, aimed it at Truthless, and fired. The bullet tore through Truthless’ arm and hit the guard pinned below square in the head.

“Run Flit, RUN!” Truthless roared, then tackled the guard before he could react. The guard had obviously expected Truthless to be a lot weaker with a bullet in him. All around him, he could hear pandemonium breaking out, gunshots ringing through the air. It’s a coup! 

The only hope now would be to get to the car in time. There were bound to be explosives planted around the base, and likely in a few minutes, the base would go up. Truthless would bet his life on it. Well... literally. 

Truthless finally took out the guard, and then dashed towards the exit.

 

Immersed in her work, Abigail almost missed the strangled gasp that came from behind her.

"A... Abi...?"

"What?" she asked, not bothering to look up.

"Nictren... the guard... in the room..." Roger's voice rose in pitch and faded in volume as he spoke, giving the impression he was about to dissolve into hysteria at any moment. "Oh, no, no, no, no, no..."

"What?" asked Abigail, sitting up and spinning her seat around to face the cameras. "Did something..."

Her voice trailed off as she saw the screen.

Red, was her first, stupid thought. I hate red. And they've gone and decorated the whole office red, red, red...

*actually checks roleplay for the first time in over a week*

Truthless ran down the hallway, Flit right behind him. He dared not attack anyone else caught in a brawl; he had no way of knowing who was a loyal HOWL member and who had infiltrated from ROAR. One member, one Truthless had known for a long time, charged towards him, but a bullet in his head quickly stopped him.

After a painstakingly long time, they finally made it back to the car. Truthless hopped into the car, and turned the engine on.

Xino, you’ll probably want to get your character or if there pretty soon, you could hitch a ride with Truthless and Flit or just find another way out.

Great post, Xino! 

Flit either got shot in the head or became an NPC, depending on True's convenience.

I'm sorry, but I have to leave this roleplay! More of an explanation will come in a status update.

"Um, yeah, actually," Knight answered, sitting up in his chair, looking at the monitor. "Two HOWL agents, in fact. I wonder what they're doing."

That was when Knight began to crave a hamburger.

“Good, good,” Sinclair said. Walking to his desk he slipped on his gloves, flexed his fingers and watched blue lines glow along the surface. “What do you say we go on a field mission, see what these agents are up to?”

Dapper blew a smoke ring, arranging the words to the verse in his head. Once he was sure he had it right, he stood, pipe between his teeth, and waved once at the camera he knew was there, hopefully getting the attention of someone in Records. Quickly he snapped his briefcase shut, picked up his staff, and began to speak quietly, yet with clear, precise words, reciting the verse. He finished, and the air around him seemed to flicker for a split second, then Dapper wavered and disappeared, leaving only a faint whiff of pipesmoke.

Security is now the division of HOWL official in charge of cameras and the like. Unless it's a spy camera, in which case it would probably be part of the Counterintelligence division.

More thoughts on chants! Effects caused by chants are known as enchantments (get it? ;)) are are, generally speaking, indefinite in duration.

At this point, I'm not sure. :P I wasn't expecting the base to get attacked that quickly.

I'm thinking of having Abigail be taken prisoner- there's someone looking for her that may have contracted with ROAR.

In a completely unrelated part of the narrative. FT, High Constable of the City, had a biscuit. It was a big biscuit, fit for a marshal of justice. 

It had frosting too.

Does this mean we can bring in our third party plots? Sweet!

John dove to the side, breaking through a door and accidently knocking... Knocking a cop over?

"Sorry about the doughnut," he said quickly, nodding at the frosted pastry on the floor, before running through the building.

"Sure thing," Knight answered, "but we should probably stop for a hamburger along the way. I'm starving."

As he spoke, he pulled on his wristbands, and laughed. "In a way, we're doing the world a favor, you know. What we do here."

Dapper appeared atop a building in a somewhat dilapidated committal district on the outskirts of the city. It had started as a project to bring business to the outskirts which had become all but slums after the lower classes were pushed out of the city center. Dapper shook his head, feeling the cool wind against his face. It had failed, and the district was worse than it had been before, with large swathes of it controlled by various gangs. Buildings here were also dirt cheap, if one knew the right people. Dapper did, and he'd bought this building outright some time ago. Now it was his home, and office.

He strode over to a deck chair on the roof, which looked out over the skyline of the city center. Puffing on his pipe, he opened his briefcase, removing his phone and composing a message. After he'd sent it to his client, he sat back, sending smoke rings into the wind and watching them drift across the tops of the building until they blew apart.

“Going against HOWL?” Sinclair asked. “Keeping the public in the dark? Of course. Can you imagine the public backlash if they found out about us? About HOWL? We do a service to the world when we work.”

Sighing he went and slipped on his work boots, watched the blue circuitry lines light up. He also took his goggles, though he slipped those in his pocket and didn’t put them on for now. No need.

“Stopping at a burger joint seems good to me.”

He's also a contractor, actually. He doesn't work for either, but has contracted with both in the past.

His primary goal is finding and retrieving his target (Abigail) alive. He's willing to work with whomever he needs- he's not particularly scrupulous- but he's been running into difficulties so far.

Knight yawned and wondered what was going on. He kicked back in his chair, relaxed with a nice cold root beer, and played back the audio of the conversation. He had gotten as good as confirmation that those two suspicious characters were indeed from HOWL. Boss was going to be happy indeed.

Knight chuckled to himself, pleased. ROAR wouldn’t fall. It couldn’t. Not while Knight still breathed. Or, really, anyone from ROAR still breathed.

Salad materialised in the corner of the room. He grabbed a leafy pot plant and held it in front of his face before walking outside. It was the perfect disguise. 

Knight whirled around suddenly. "You! What are you doing here!?"
