<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.

Fabian Gestalt

"You're right. Letting the competition eliminate each other is a very good tactic actually." said Fabian. "There were no other famous people on board. They're probably saving me for last."

He took in a deep gulp of moist air. The scene before him was a dark sort of wasteland. A place that probably cost a ton

Oh man, this is my partner? His angel whined. I need someone who can take this seriously.

"Oh wow this thing speaks? How much of a budget does this competition cost?" said Fabian in awe. "Does yours talk back as well?"

Looking at Joe he managed to hear a scream from far away and began to think that they shouldn't remain in this same place for long. The girl with the pistol may be coming back for them, and he knew that she would not hesitate to kill them both.

Fae Cantigre & Romeo WIllis

"Do I know her? Yo what the hell are you getting at?" Romeo stood for a second bleeding continuously before responding. "Yea I know that bitch. She's the reason I'm bleeding like a fountain."

"Oh my you've lost so much blood already. You should be dead by now from too much blood loss." Fae added. "I don't even know how you're still talking."

You seriously didn't read the rules? What too much filth for-

"Hush Rubbard! I forgot killing someone required destroying the heart or brain." Fae snapped shutting off her phone forcefully once more. "Anyways Sachiko, what are you planning on doing with information on that dangerous woman? She blew that poor man's head to bits and clearly has no regard for germs."

"Whatever you all decide I can tell you where she is." Romeo winced at Sachiko a bit as he dug a finger in one of his wounds. "Hell I wouldn't mind getting my hands on that bitch myself. You can't possibly plan on taking her down without me"

He pulled out a small silvery orb with an appearance so wispy and white it barely looked solid enough to hold. The cheesy smile he gave to Sachiko looked forced but held a great ounce of truth.

Gabriel

Sir! Sir! Gaddet's gone missing sir!

"What? This early in the game? What was the cause Nanicci?" Gabriel asked into his headset.

He stood on the island containing God's tower silently watching the players upon the tower's large monitor. His competition had become a bit interesting. There's no sign of him anywhere. He hasn't been reporting in at all. I've sent the other reapers to look out for him. No remains have been found so far. His headset boomed back.

"Guess I'll be doing the food drop sooner. Keep me posted Nanicci." said Gabriel.

Aye-aye sir! I'll send info to all of the angels sir!

He pulled out a microphone, knowing that every player within this island would hear him. "Attention all players." He began searching the barren streets with his eyes. "I have before me two sacks of food, each full enough to properly feed one person. The first player to reach me will obtain the reward of nourishment. The second and third players to reach me will have to have a duel to see who gets the last sack. Your angels shall update you on the location."

<Maru: Tee-hee! Oh Master! Master! you've got a message from the reapers! There's a food drop going on at the Hospital district right in front of the giant white hospital building! Tee-hee! I think you should hurry fast and get there before someone snatches up all that yummy food! A hungry warrior won't last long on the battlefield! Whatever you do Maru will stand by her master's decision! >


<Cora: Such a damned situation we're in. I don't like the look of that guy. If you didn't have a weapon I would have demanded that you give me his head right then and there! And that weird chick, she looks just as dangerous. I'd keep her around until we can get more points and then we can rip her shiny little limbs off! There's also a food drop going on at the hospital in the hospital district. We could go invisible and sneak off there first and snatch that first sack of grub no problem. Decisions decisions. I say pick the bloodiest path.>
