And The Clocks Ticks Again

[strangerpeople]

[You feel as if your body has not moved for a long time. The ache is dull as you can feel your limbs creak and move, trying to shake off any potential rust that has seeped into your bones. And maybe actual rust if you're Proto, sorry buddy. With eyes blinking out any tiny crusties from your corners, you may remember that you were trying to escape.

Escape? But where to in this hellhole? There's no exits from this abyss...right?

You remember screaming from someone...one of the strangers who showed up in the car, yes? She was speaking to her friend about something-]

Did you hear me, Seven?! I said-what in the bloody hells happened here?! AND WHO STOLE MY TIME FREEZING POWER AND USED IT ON US?!

[Yotsuyu is livid, screeching to anyone who hears. Anyone might be confused as to what she means by 'time freezing power' but looking up at the sky, there is a reason for her to be concerned: There are blue streaks and the bright light of Logos, but they are starting to die like embers, absorbed into the black.

There had been a war; the Amaranthine Conjunction doesn't let go of its possessions easily, even beyond its borders. But this is too far for it; this is not its territory and it never will be. Its Law has faltered. It's light is useless. The power is retreating, forced back from the black thing that pervades the sky. Just what happened to make this happen? Who is powerful enough to freeze everyone including two strong Angels?

It matters not because the clock is still ticking against you all...and the storm is not letting up.]

If you know of any other means of escape, speak up! Otherwise, we do not have many options in front of us!

[She's listening, Zack.]

[zackthekiller]

... Nrgh. [Someone didn't think this argument through.]

Why do you think your idea's the best option?!

[icanhearscreams]

We dealt with a tornado before, it's fine! You're already dead so who cares?!

[zackthekiller]

You- Wait, this shit happened before!?

[icanhearscreams]

We had to leave the first island, yeah.

[zackthekiller]

First island?!

[icanhearscreams]

Yeah. You think we just randomly had liferafts just because?

[bendwiththewind]

Because it might be our only one!

[See any other obvious exits?]

Unless you wish to know how death works for someone already perished but I doubt you are not eager.

[zackthekiller]

Grrrh... FINE! Have it your way!

[7_0_7]

Well that would be one way to find out if you can still piece people's Soul back together from here!

[he sure does know how erasure works...]

Who's going first?

[bendwiththewind]

We won't know until we try.

[As to who first...]

Since it was I who made the suggestion, 'tis only fair.

[notthebreakman]

You're sure about this, then?

[Well, if you can't trust the local experts in times like these, then who can you trust?]

Fine. I don't see any other options open to us at the moment.

[bendwiththewind]

[A nod.]

Were I still whom I was prior, I would have no qualms sending some lower brute to do it. But this is different.

Which also means, I'm driving.

[Hand over those keys, Seven.]

[7_0_7]

... don't crash it into a person again.

[He hands them over reluctantly. ]

Baby's gonna need a new coat. A strong storm like that'll peel the spots off, won't it? Be strong, baby! Fire your engine soul!

[and he's still going to be in shotgun gdit]

[bendwiththewind]

Anyone with us shall be in their respective modes of transportation. Otherwise if they decide to stick around like fools, then...

[Hey if someone does, rip them. Just saying as she holds the keys in her hands, nodding to Seven.]

I do not know weither I can or not but...let us see if I can create some form of miracle.

[And to everyone else:]

Get to anything that can be used as a boat or raft. I'll be leading and everyone else follows, are we clear? And try not to stray from the path.

[And with that, she will get in the driver's side and start up the car, preparing to take the initative. Kami help her if she has to be the one leading but stranger things have happened.]

[icanhearscreams]

[Already in the lifeboats, let's go!]

[notthebreakman]

[He'll join Jun in the lifeboat. Freaky tattoo dragon slayers need to stick together, right?]

[The screeching becomes more pronounced as the minutes go by. Even in the car, 707 and the passengers can hear it, can feel it whoosh through their hair as it gets closer and closer-drawing them even closer to the storm.

Perhaps they all can realize that it is toying with them. It is enjoying this, whatever it was.

See? Not even someone with an Angel's power can save them. How small you must feel, now.]

[7_0_7]

Wilco, Yoyo!

[there's also room in the back seat]

[bendwiththewind]

[She nods as she turns the key and the engine roars to life. Remembering her previous lesson, Yotsuyu then gets the car into drive and off she zooms the car, into the air and heading straight for that tornado.

Follow the cranky Doman if you want to live! Or not die again.]
