"Also made out of aluminum?" Althea asked calmly. In the end that was the most important question for her. "And what weapons are they using?"

The guard handed him a phone number. "Just contact him. He's in Alleycity." =========== Zokora opened her eyes again, to the sounds and the smells of a living city. She liked Oasis, with its harbour, the round city towering just to the side. "Welcome to Oasis City." She smiled at Neil and Deteca and let go of their hands. "Well, to the harbour at least." With a wide gesture she included everything around them. The merchants calling out to possible customers, the sailors on their way to the nearest tavern, or back to their ship. Clerks rushing by, their steps fast, their eyes straight ahead. Probably on their way to do something important. Without really realizing she relaxed and looked around. The walls of the city were close, the nearest gate open, with a line in front of it. "I can't take you into the city itself, just like that. You'll have to register and most likely we'll be accompanied by some guards." She shot an apologetic look to Deteca. "But if you want to, I can give you a tour of the harbour, and then of the city. It is possible." And most likely not everybody would be pleased with that offer, but she would deal with that later. Trust for trust. Deteca had trusted her, had saved their men. So she would answer that trust, by extending her own. @AonEne @xinoehp512

Zokora took his hand as well and concentrated on the image in her mind. Then she reached out, used her will like an hammer to make a path for them to take. @AonEne =========== Mike looked over at Seom, shook his head. "Nobody is safe when it comes to them. They will kill us all. They will drag us into their alleys and then they will kill us." Fear had his voice shake, but gratitude shone in his eyes. That Seom wanted to sacrifice herself for him, that she wanted to protect him. It meant a lot in the middle of all this destruction. "Thank you. For trying. For standing with me."

"I'm sorry that I destroyed the door." Shana opened her hands in exasperation, honestly, it was a door and it had been accident. Still, she needed to get a better grip on herself. Who knew what she might set aflame the next time. She thought about Rob's words and then slowly shook her head. "I'm not sure, if it's a situation where we can decide if we want to step out in the open or not. If each of us can decide. As long as we all live here, we are in this together. Right now with Sha'Theoxis we are protected to a vertain degree, but once she is gone, that protection will be gone as well. And at least I am in favor of us having a plan." She stood up again, thinking while sitting down and doing nothing wasn't hers. Her grades easily reflected that as well. She had to move, had to do something. Then she could reflect upon things. "The situations like we had today won't stop. Never. If it's Voidbringers, or later fanatics, or those afraid of our powers. We have to accept that we a minority, and people never react well to a minority. We might be used, we might be loved - I can't look into the future. But we will polarize society. I think, we should decide for ourselves what we want to do. What our goals are. I am perfectly fine to spend my whole life fighting evil, and if that means cooperating with the government, then I will do that. But I can't speak for all of us. And should some of us want to life a different live, then we need to decide how to pretect them, how to offer them a chance to life a live that suits them as well." Turning around, she looked at each of them. "You are my family and I will protect you. And I don't care whose heads I have to smash in to keep you safe."

Sagitta heared the trees rustle and prepared herself. It was this moment, the moment before everything exploded. The last quiet breath, when your body was tense with excitement, when you existed for nothing but the fight. It jumped at the groad, roaring, it's large jaw open, and she screamed as well, set one end of the branch on the ground and placed her foot next to, securing it in place. She moved it, so that the branch pointed towards it, to catch its momentum, to impale it. She counted at bit on the fact, that it might know a branch, discard it as harmless. It might work, or not. It was worth a try. She would have to use the playtool sooner than later. Sagitta concentrated on her hands holding the branch, on her foot next to its end. She couldn't reduct the impact of the thing on the branch, needed its momentum. But she might be able to reduce the impact of the branch on her own body. Strings, no a net. Maybe. Whatever happened, it would leave her face to face with the thing. And then she would see who was the most stubborn of them. @Lunamor

Shana listened to the talk about a curse and and the sword. To Draugs explanation about the police. "So we are safe." She repeated and burried her head in her hands. "We are safe, we don't need to flee." Yes, that was good. To stay here, to stay with her friends. "You are my family." She stated quietly, although they probably wouldn't even hear her.
-
Wita relaxed slightly, as soon as Anthony stopped screaming. The screams in her head slowly subsided and she took a breath, loosened on her storing and thought about Marcel's question. Remove him. It was about killing. Murdering. Snuffing out a candle. Death, dark, black death like a scarf around her neck and shoulders. "Don't make him scream." She whispered, shook her head, but left the mans side, walked over to Marcel. She liked him, he just defended himself. People did that. "If he screams it's like." Her hand touched her heand and she shook her head. "Don't torture, just blow out his light and be done with it." She asked him and felt her hands curl up into fists. Behind her Anthony, slowly pushed himself up. "What do you want to know?" He asked, taking a slow step away from them. @I think I am here. @Hope Spren ======================= Sam shook his head. "I'll stay away, can be a trick, you know." He shrugged, but followed him without letting Lewis out of his eyes, waited for a surprising attack.

Zokora took her hand and then closed her eyes. Flee. She was going to flee. And somehow, the thought was alright. Deteca had a point, and she'd offered her protection. Let duty be for someone else. She would follow her instinct. Sera moved sliggtly up and down, showing her agreement. There weren't ones for an open battle. In the dark, without eyes watching them, yes, that was different. There was only one place outside of Alleycity, that she could think of, that might be safe. She pictured the gates, the forcefield and then she nodded. "Yes, out of Alleycity." She tightened her hand around Deteca's, smiled at her. In the end, she was right, and Althea was still here. Quickly she sent her a message, informing her that she would get Deteca to safety, but that she could still monitor their troops if needed. Turning to Neil, she waited for his decision as well. @xinoehp512

"Leave. Yes." Mike looked up at him, and then grabbed Wes arm. "Wes, Tels says we need to go." He said slightly mechanically, tore his eyes away from the gods. Seom. She was here as well. He wasn't entirely sure, when she'd arrived, but in the end it didn't matter. Getting to his feet he looked at her. "They are here." He whispered again stared at the figures. The room, the animals. That man, woman, he couldn't even remember. Only the face. That cold face with the hard eyes. The smell of the antiseptic, the straps around his arms. "I can't, not with them here. What if they are here as well, want to take me. I don't want to go back. I can't, I can't." Mike's hand brushed over his spikes again and again and again. They were here. They were his nightmare, his nemesis. They were like the darkest place at night, like the monster hiding under the bed. He had no words to describe them, nothing but the unknown terror that filled him. If he saw them, they could see him. And even the outlines of their bodies were more than he'd ever wanted to see or know. @I think I am here. @Sherlock Holmes @Truthless of Shinovar ======================= Zokora jumped to her feet and stared at the two figures. They were coming for them. Fight them. She readied her knifes, inhaled stormlight. It would be a hard fight. Deteca was in no shape to fight and she didn't about Neil. To face them both on her own account, she doubted she could make a stand. Then Deteca spoke up, asked about leaving. Zokora was almost ashamed about the pang of relief that, followed her words. An easy way to get out. To flee. To survive. "If you want to leave, of course. My offer to get you out still stands." She nodded at Deteca. Turning to Neil she offered both of them her hands. "Do you have a preference where to go?" She asked and then looked back at the enemies coming closer. "Can we risk it? To leave? To let them run rampage?" Could they? Count on the DA to take care of them as well? They would most likely. But when and how? She didn't want to rely on the DA. Not like this. Not completely. It felt wrong. But then, she had offered Deteca her protection, and she wasn't trained in an open fight. Risk to be killed for nothing? When those able to solve the situation were already there? There was no good decision, no easy answer, there never was, at least for her. The thought to leave, to go away was alluring. A few hours without her ghosts. @AonEne @xinoehp512 @AonEne @xinoehp512 ============ @RayOfSunshine

Cursing Jessy grabbed his arm. "Lead the way. We need to go."

"No, we don't." Sagitta shook her head, observed as the woman came closer. She was panting, running towards them. Asked for help. "I am bound by honor to offer her protection." She informed Price and shook her head at Zura. She was playing the harmless girl. Fake. But she obviously was no match against the Forestlynx. Sagitta knew, that she could have let her die, she had attacked her, but she decided against it. "Leave that theater aside and try to help. You instinct could be what decides this fight." She ordered without moving her eyes from the direction the thing would most likely come from. @I think I am here. @Lunamor

Althea's face softened slightly around the eyes when she heard his laugh. She loved his laugh. It was rich and it warmed her, like a bright light admist this chaos. "Thank you." She nodded at Aylitha. Well, that just made the situation a lot easier. Or more dangerous. But then, if the DA had planed to destroy them all, they would have done so. And she prefered a known enemy, over an unknown one. "Then I have no problem to leave this to you. Let's head to a place where we can spectate?" @I think I am here. @kenod ============ Zokora shook her head. "It's not about being around a place associated with TUBA, but about what people will think. I don't want to betray Althea, by accepting your offer." She picked up a stone, threw it angrily away, listened to it hit the street somewhere below. "Nobody will ask, will care why I am there, one of us will be marked a traitor and I don't want to do this to you. I don't want to repay a kindness with something like that." If it even was a kindness. But then she never knew. She thought it was kindness, leave the paranoia to others. @AonEne ============ Mike smiled at, uncomfortable with repeating of his name, but at least it was a name. Looking up he saw three figures and when took a closer look his face fell. "Wes. Seom. Tels." He pointed at the figures and froze, when he understood. "They are here. They came. They will kill all of us." His voice shook from fear and his hand tightened around his knife. "They came. They came." He whispered unable to drag his eyes away. The Dark Alley, and it looked like they had been here for a while. But he'd missed it. Had been focused on Bella, on Wes, on - he'd allowed himself to get distracted. He'd missed the moment these had entered the stage. @Sherlock Holmes @Truthless of Shinovar ============ The man nodded. "As you order. We will radio you later." They started to carry Bella away.

Shana sighed, then forced herself to sit down. "Sorry about the door." She looked at Draug. "About whoever wants to use us. We are a bunch of kids. We can do nothing if government decides to test us or use us or control us. They might leave us our illusion of being alone, but if the know, what we can do - we won't be alone and we will be manipulated. Openly, or not."
-
"Do you really want to risk to fight our own soldiers?" Shana stared at Leona, shook her head, then moved a hand through her hair. "I don't. This is a catastrophy. I, I mean, we have no idea what they will do, and they won't listen? Why should some adult listen to our stories?" A hint of desperation entered her voice when she took a deep breath, depleted the sphere. "IT'S OPEN." She called towards their door, then turned back to the sofa. "If we stay, they can do anything, everything. We have no proove, nothing? I'm not sure what they will notice, what not, what they will, and I don't know, if we should risk it!" "What if, that's them?" Her hand pointed towards the door, somehow the door exploded in a ball of fire and smoke, the stormlight leaving her in a rush.
-
"You told them, about us?" Shana straightened. "But why? Just, I don't know, tell them we were attacked, whatever." She got to her feet, walked around nervously. "What will they do? Imprison us? Experiment on us? You all know the movies? It never ends well for the strange, more powerful beings. They are always hunted." Her voice rose, shook from fear. "They can destroy all of this. What can we do, once government decides to come by?" Whirling around to face those on the sofa she finally stopped. "We need to flee. Now."
-
The man nodded and they loaded Bella on the strechter. "We will take her to a safe place and let you know where she is. Or do you want to come along directly?" @RayOfSunshine ======================== Zokora's eyes followed Deteca's over to the Stranger, Voidus and Mac. It was... strange, to see all three of them in the same place. That it had come to this, that the situation had escalated that much, that they needed these three to clean up. She shook her head, turned back to Deteca. "Thank you so much for your offer." I accept. The words were there, so easy, just two of them. She could accept and then she had a place to stay, until she had something of her own again. Althea would organize something, but if she found something on her own. Could she accept? Deteca was like Althea, just a different guild. She couldn't stay at the house of another guild leader's parents. It would fall back on Althea, on her own guild. And there was no way, that she would betray Althea. "I am not sure, if I can accept." She admitted truthfully. It could be trap. But if it was, she would be able to flee easily. And if Deteca had wanted to kill her, or to kidnap her for questionen. She had plenty of opportunity in the tunnels.

@I think I am here. =================== Sam looked at him for a moment. "Your friends are like you?" He asked and thought about it a while longer. If he brought not only one, but many allomancer, he would maybe even get a bonus and a better position. More money, more women. "Well, ich they want to join..." It sounded too good to be true, but then, maybe he was the lucky one for once.

Zokora firmly believes she is haunted by ghosts. To have them meet would be so great. Especially if they were able to communicate. I'm not sure about more weaknesses. I like her set, but it depends on how strong they impede her in the end. And I'm no friend to randomly add them. If I can think of something goo, I'll let you know.

Wita observed as Anthony tried to flee, then sag down when Kira's knife his his foot. Marcel did something and then he was on the ground, screaming. Screaming in pain. She stood up, ran over, and tried to put herself between him and the others. "Stop!" she sobbed. "Just stop. He's in pain." Her hands made gestures that tried to explain, that there was more, things she couldn't voice, nor talk about, and she hugged herself when a feeling of loss grabbed her heart and her soul, dragged her down. "Please." She whispered, the words almost vanishing between the sobbing. @I think I am here. @Hope Spren ============= "We are something like a gang. Do jobs for those that pay well. We could use someone like you." Sam flinched when he heard Anthony scream again. "You with them?" He asked quickly, his eyes darting towards another alley. Maybe running was the better option here. They could have Anthony and he would go.
-
"You're not the only one." Shana looked up at smiled a weak smile in Flid's direction. "When they had Ben, I thought they would kill him any moment. Instead they didn't." Her fingers tightened around Ben's. "I've never been that afraid in my life before."

I look at the pictures and consider them for a while. They are interesting, different, as if somebody wants to find out what kind of picture I like. I stop in front of each of them for a moment and then shake my head, walk back to the first one. There is something about it, the colours, how they fit together, the way the phantom is depicted. It touches soething, and yet, my glance wanders again. Another few steps take me to the painting, that seems to call out to me. Art. Art can be anything if, it wakens emotion. “Your Grace, have you made a decision?” Hera asks. You nod. “This one,” you say, gesturing to the third one. ======= I vote for "The rainbow robe". I like the name, and Fura is right. As it is the only non-capitalized one, that can mean something, or not. The chance alone is worth to give it a try. ========== An activity. I pause and then look around in the large room, that seems to be mine. "I can choose anything?" I ask and then lift a hand to forstall a reply. I know that I can, but I wanted to voice my thoughts loudly. Looking at my hands, they are ... hands. I have no idea if they are my hands. They seem to be, but I have no memories, nothing I connect to them. And yet, the thought to use them, to create something. "Set up a place where I can work with leather, please" I command and look outside again. "I will visit another Returned, so that you have some time to do it properly." ========= I'd like to include a hint towards out background in the activites. That's why I vote for "taking up a hobby: leather working". Also I think that it can't hurt to get to know some other Returned, given the fact that our Influence is pretty low. If we can find an ally, we might be able to compensate that a bit. Additionally it offers the chance for our character to ask some questions about where he is, what happened, and talk to someone who has been in the same situation he is now. So the second activity I vote for is "visit another returned" ==== Edit: [X] 'The rainbow robe' [X] 'Take up hobby: Leather working' [X] 'Visit other Returned'

Jessy stepped below him, then she stopped the sphere holding him in the air. Without much effort she caught him, and put him on his feet. Her hands stayed on his shoulders, to make sure he would remain standing. "Better?"
