<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.

Amos

"Just what do you suppose happened partner?" The effeminate reaper gave a hair flip after turning away from the shack where one of the contestants were holed up, safe from all imp attacks. "I mean Lily and all of that noise. You heard it too didn't you?"

He stood looking out at the unrealistically large moon shining above the broken city. He couldn't help but to reflect upon the harsh sounds of Lily's incoming report. She mumbled something about a mammoth, there were sounds of a fight, a crunch and then her mic seemed to have been crushed by something. "You think she probably died?" he asked running his fingers through his long hair. "I'd bet she probably did. Lily was one of the newer reapers. It kind of suck to be taken out as a reaper though to tell you the truth. It's like, what did you even choose this option for if you can easily be taken out and written from existence. I'd like to think there's a heaven for reapers- Oh look at me rambling again."

He twirled and stretched his arms up. "Well, I guess we should go check it out with the others, right Fagelein?" he made a mocking face and pushed his lips together.

"Right my Faggy Waggy Poo? <3" The attempt at cuteness was actually frightening in this lighting and setting.


Clarissa Montague

Clarissa stood almost paralyzed before she turned and screamed running the opposite direction. Down the dark corridors of the hospital the fat creature thrashed it'as tongue violently as if trying to get a hold of something. The fat tongue took out walls, lights, and other hard concrete ceiling pieces. Rubble tossed everywhere and every so often Clarissa would have to shield her eyes and blindly shoot out a few rounds. She held her hand towards her stomach before she dodge the tongue once more. It was long, stretchy, and quick. it struck like a viper and gave of a slight sucking sound after touching surfaces. "The hell is this thing?!" she gasped before spotting the Sachiko girl going completely unnoticed on the other end of the hall.

"Hey! Look!" She pointed in the young girls direction but the monster's tongue came lashing out at her. The creature's head turned but it's body continued to follow her.

She quickly spun behind a corner and spotted another player, only this time she was not prepared to kill. For once she was alarmed. This man however took one look at her and seemed to effortlessly float away with a look of pity upon his face. he left her fast and the creature was coming around the hall corner. You'll pay you weird kid. What's his name again Damien? You're mine next time. she thought as she ran down the hall herself.

The narrow halls were almost too much for the creature to run after her. It's tongue continued to smash the place. She could hear it. Perhaps it had gone After Sachiko instead after all.


Gabriel

Johann wasn't hard to hear. His shouting at Nanicci could be heard from Gabriel's location. The small boyish albino reaper materialised beside him from wispy black smoke. "She's gone. I was just there." he responded as fast as he could. "Did you happen to see the creature around here?"

Actually Sir's I've managed to spot the Mammon myself. It's in the hospital, going after players.

Gabriel wanted to curse but chose to nod his head instead. Any interference within the Afterlife games did not please The Almighty one bit. As he seemed to recall the only reason he'd become the head reaper was because The Almighty had destroyed the last one for her interference with the killing of a former friend of hers. "We're going to hunt it down Nanicci." Gabriel spoke looking at Johann. "Give the other reapers our location at once. This fight is going to need at least three if we want to survive and send that thing back to hell."

Aye aye sir! I'll update the others asap sir! Good luck sirs.


Luci Ferno

Luci's eyes fluttered open as soon as Joe hit the wall. "Like what are you doing? Do you want your face eaten too?" she nodded toward the stairwell. There was no telling whether those black creatures could comeback.

She'd been thinking long with her eyes closed about what he said. Follow rules and kill each other? That was too barbaric. "So this is it then huh? We die and god makes us kill each other for his own entertainment? Like, this still isn't fair."

She was frustrated even more and stood to go glance outside a nearby window. There were small creatures retreating toward the sky. They looked like black skeletal children with wings and they grouped in the sky to return to wherever they had come from. "I wonder..." she began. "Do you think if we somehow managed to kill the reapers we could escape the game? I mean, like, think about it they like, run the game and stuff. So if there's none left we could all leave and go home right?"
