<Afterlife> Options

[Oliverskx]

The train going through the tunnel moved faster than normal. All passengers had no idea of what had just taken place. Yet Gabriel watched them all from the front of the car. This car out of all others was to be picked for the Afterlife games. The reaper didn't know whether to be sorry for this group or to be excited about being able to run the games for once.

The train now moved through a dark tunnel. This meant Citadel City was near and that now would be his time to start the briefings. His materialization out of nowhere didn't seem to have an effect on the busy passengers at all. He took the appearance of a young boy in a black cloak with white hair and red eyes; the same albino appearance he had when he was alive. *ahem* The gray reaper cleared his throat.

"Good evening passengers." he spoke calmly. "I am Gabriel and I am here to welcome you all to Citadel City before we reach our stop."

"What on earth are you rambling on about?" yawned a young woman sitting in seat 8. "Is this the wrong train?"

"Like I don't even, like, know what this kid is talking about either." another young woman from seat seven spoke.

"That voice sounds familiar..." went the blind male from seat 10.

"You are all a part of the Afterlife games." said Gabriel.

You're forgetting something sir! Show them what's happened sir! came a bubbly voice from his thin black earpiece. Gabriel could always count on advice from his assistant. "It's much easier if I just show you all." Gabriel spoke switching on a monitor conveniently stationed on a wall of the train.

The monitor flashed to news footage. A few heads turned to watch. The broadcast was loud.

This is Tiffany Williams with a mind numbing news bulletin. Right now I'm standing in front of the station outside the city where the train crash that occurred earlier this day is still recovering victims of the tragedy. So far there has been no survivors from what I can tell. More victims recovered from this terrible incident have been discovered to be the bodies of Elanora Jameson, Fae Cantigre, Clarissa Montague, Matthew Jameson, Sachiko Hayashi, Marcus Giles, Thomas Marx, Joe Brody, Ms. Mavin Davis, Stella Marx, twins Allen and Thomas Rhodes, the beloved Fabian Gestalt, Tia Wang, Romeo Willis, Jackie Hayes, Damien Peers and a Ms. Rita Thompson.

Yet insiders say there are still a lot more to be recovered.

"Yo what the hell is this shit?" A scruffy young man in seat 11 shouted. "Is this some sort of joke?"

The monitor footage cut to weeping family members and friends. "So are we like, dead or something, like that?" the female in seat seven asked once more.

"Please stay calm everyone." Gabriel advised. "No one is dead yet. Your chance to gain your normal lives back lies here in Citadel City."

The train emerged from it's dark tunnel and onto tracks leading to an island of sorts. A large city could be seen with a tower in the center that sits high in the sky. The ominous environment seemed to be tinted with the color red. For those who knew no better, this city looked like a picture of an apocalyptic worn place.

"Now are there any questions before I head on to the next subject?" Gabriel asked politely.

"당신이 무슨 말을하는거야?" spoke a little Korean girl as the train got closer and closer the the wretched island.

8:30 am

Damien Peers

Damien had just finished off another one of the black imp creatures before the rest who were attacking retreated to the skies. Upon exiting the hospital he'd heard sharp shooting sounds and a cry of anger. The sky outside seemed to be turning a bright pink. *cough* *cough* You seem to have survived the night. *cough* chimed his phone.

Damien's gaze left the sky as he drifted along the streets of the city. "That one lasted a good two hours..."

Well then now now what's your plan? This game's nothing like your last one. If you keep trying to save everyone you'll end up dead.

The mousy faced looking school girl on the screen of his phone pointed and scolded before letting out a few coughs. "I can't be the only one-"

He spotted Gabriel heading in the opposite direction and paused. The two shared a look before continuing on about their own ways. "I can't be the only one who wants out. And I've figured out a way..."

Ah so you're planning on winning the game again? *cough* Or perhaps starting a peace movement again. Remember how *cough* *cough* that worked out last ti-

"It's not peace or an escape I want. Everyone should be allowed to live."

The mousy faced girl on his angel phone looked confused. But how?

"It's easy. We just need to take out the one in charge." his eyes led him to trace God's Tower, which stood in between the two islands of Citadel city. "In order to live God would have to be the one to beat."


Luci Ferno

"I, like, suppose you're right." Luci said at the man's remark.

Killing reapers still wouldn't mean a thing since God had the final say. She'd never gone to church, but the jewelry crosses the women wore always seemed nice and fashionable with a conservative outfit. "Well. It looks like the suns up again." She said looking out a nearby window. "And it looks like those things are going away..."

There was a short pause as she gazed down at the streets, if only. "So like, all we need is more power to take down the reapers?"

She stretched a bit before heading towards the stairs. "So exactly how do you suppose we get points?" She asked. "And, like, when do you think we should fight each other?"


Amos

"Oh my dear Gabriel, so sorry I'm late."

The trip from the second island was much easier as he took the far Western bridge. Gabriel stood not too far from Johann. The head reaper was short like a child yet wore a serious expression which Amos could hardly take serious. "The team tasked with taking out this Mammon creature will be Johann, Fagelein, and Amos. I apologize, I have....sudden business to attend to." after speaking Gabriel vanished in a cloud of black wispy spoke.

Be careful guys! Don't let it eat you like Lily and the others! chimed Nanicci though the networked headsets.

"Oh my. More fun fun for us guys," Amos said with another flick of his dark hair.

The pink morning sky was close to becoming it's usually red color before the ugly fat Mammon creature had bursts from the nearby hospital building. The blast it made could be heard blocks and blocks away. It only took the creature less than a minute to burst it's fat ugly body onto the scene before them. Amos walked over near where Johann stood. The creature was closer to his direction.

In a flash he summoned two mid sized scythe blades and connected the ends together. With his double bladed scythe in one hand he took a battle stance and stood looking the creature in it's cold dead eye flesh. "This hideous thing looks hungry. You boys ready? "

He flipped his hair once more.


Clarissa Montague

"You bitch! Where are you?"

Clarissa shouted in the hall. The lightened sky had made it much easier to see. It took her a long while to realise there was a needle sticking in her side. "How dare you harm my baby! You deserve to die like the rest!"

Clarissa shot a few bullets in every direction, spraying near, far, up, down, everywhere. She wouldn't stop until everything was made of holes and she counted each shot for each second Sachiko's invisibility wore one. 23, 24, 36, 47, each bullet ran through the surfaces of the hall. Sachiko would die by her hands. She had to for the sake of her unborn unformed child! Clarissa had never been challenged. if intimidation was no good, she'd need to step up her game and kill on sight. Once the girl's ability wore off she would find her and she would shoot her dead no questions. "The next time I see you..." she managed to mumble through gritted teeth.



<+5 stolen points from Clarissa go to Sachiko!>


<Maru: Oh master tee-hee! You sound almost as if you were considering the idea for a second! Well whatever master chooses is alright with Maru! Just be careful and kill some player! You can do it! Tee-hee! Oh? Wait! Master you have a message from the reapers! They say to kill one player by 11pm or else your two parents will be sent to Hell immediately at the end of day 2! Oh my I can't wait to see what this game has in store tee-hee!>


<Cora: Oh my dear you simply flatter me with your actions. If only it had been the heart! But she looks a bit angry now and invisibility wont last forever! I'd suggest retreating. Wait. What's this? New reaper mail says an Akira Hayashi will be killed and sent to hell if you don't kill another player by 11pm tonight. I'm not worried. You seem to be learning from the best. Chop! Cut! Kill!>
