"Nothing I can imagine. Though it appears we'll be marooned here for some time, but there are enough supplies around to carry the entire group through." said Nerrone, with a strange halfhearted smile, "My family will be able to help with things... I'm afraid I can't stay..." Looking pensieve, she stood up and put on her coat, draped over a chair, and then picked up a knapsack by her feet and skimmed the contents as she talked.
She took one final look around the room before turning back to Omega, speaking briskly, "My purpose is to catalouge events around Neopia.. A calling if you will... I'm compelled to travel. But I'm sure I'll wind up back here before long... There's destiny in these people.. Until then, you all have my best. Give my sister my regards if she happens to show up." the silver lupe added finally, shouldering her bag, and walked out the door, making a brief exchange with the others outside before heading off down the street, after some time lost in the distance.
((Nerrone will be exiting the rp for awhile, prolly not coming back until after this big 2 month or so timeskip that everyone is talking about :3 It makes sense and it makes my work easier))
====
Umber turned to round on Dre, eyes flashing, but without further ado, both lupes were gone. She turned to Shallo, surveying him with dislike, voice bitter "I do want to work with you, but rest assured that underestimating the opposition was a one time thing. It will not happen again. And do take note that I can and will take matters into my own hands."

Dhia looked over to Cera. She looks worried. He sat up and put his arms around her, not knowing if it would do any good or if it would make her feel any better, it just seemed right. She must be thinking about her family, or her friends. He wanted to tell her it was okay. That it wasn't happening.
"Maybe we should turn this off," he said, gesturing towards the TV. "It's not really telling us anything new is it? It's just repeating the same stuff over and over again."
I hope they're okay.

Cera leaned into his shoulder, wishing she could bring everyone that was in that pizza shop into this 'dream world' so that they would be ok too. She still didn't see why she had to get the special treatment. "Yeah..." She squeaked, answering Dhia's questions. The news reporter really didn't have anything else to say. 'A lot of devastation, not many survivors, and we can only hope.' Had come out of her mouth at least fifty times during the past hour they had been watching it.

((lol, ok I think we get that it's a ferry...)) ((So says Miss green eyes over here xDDDD I've decided I'm just going to use random characters that don't even exist on Neo. Why not. LOL)) Roni noticed a rather suspicious-looking character on the ferry with them. He was a green Wocky, was dressed sloppily like a vagabond or drug dealer, and had a lit cigarette in between the fingers of the hand leaning against the edge of the boat. His eyes were hidden by large sunglasses and though he wasn't facing her, Roni had the strangest feeling he was looking at her, and intently. She kept her distance and made sure her sisters did, too, without them really knowing. Roni was smart to be wary; for halfway through the ride, the Wocky's fingertips began to glow. He blew a puff of smoke out of his mouth. She listened from behind a wall and when an attendant came by to tell him he wasn't allowed to smoke on the ferry, he chuckled and there was a small burning noise, a crackle, and then a snap and things falling to the floor filled her ears. Roni was terrified, especially when the boat teetered the slightest bit and blood trickled down the hallway past her. She clasped her hands over her mouth in a small gasp. She dared to peek past the wall and when she did, the man's back was to her and he was squatting down, burning a hole into the cheek of the dead attendant. There were scorch marks around her neck, which was burned through, bone showing and blood pouring out of her neck from her body and disembodied head. Sneaking up silently behind the man, Roni raised her foot and smashed it into his shoulder. There was a loud crack and he yelled in pain as the bone snapped and turned to dust under her foot. He looked back at her furiously, and before she knew it, she had his left hand wrapped around her neck. His hand was hot and burning; she screamed and wrenched herself away from him, then pulled back her fist and went to punch him in the face-- .....but he was already gone. |

((  But I don't want to make an application... And he can't really be a shoyru or a scorchio, right? I think I'll make him ride the ferry with your group of pple though ^^)) |

((OHHHHHHH *is no longer confused* xDD Silly Sarah, Trix are for weirdoes like meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! ^^))
Roni left the scene before anybody came and blamed her. Suddenly she heard crashes and yells from upstairs, then screams and feet thumping above her head. She looked at the stairs. Did he go there and kill someone else?
But when she made her way over, it wasn't the Wocky that came stumbling down the stairs, it was Mia with bleeding wrists and Trei kicking her in the back down the steps. Mia lost balance and smashed her head on the railing, knocking her out. She slid down the rest of the way, blood trailing down the stairs. Roni knelt and caught her. She looked at Trei scornfully. "What happened??" she demanded to know.
"I don't know. Someone shoved her into a wall. I turned my back for one second to yell at him and then she was gone. I was looking for her, calling her name, and suddenly I hear someone scream and I follow it to a bathroom where Mia--" She shivered. "Anyway I take it she switched personalities on us and left for the bathroom. The lady came in and saw her, then screamed and fainted. We have to heal her fast before we're kicked overboard."
"Overboard might be the safest place for us," Roni murmured as she grabbed a towel off of a basket nearby and went to stop the bleeding. The cuts were small and horizontal across the wrist. Trei dropped Ara's fingerless gloves on the floor and sat on the steps (avoiding the blood) and sent out mind waves to try to keep people out of the area.
Suddenly, while Roni healed Ara, a big red light flashed in Trei's mind. She dropped every defense she had up to keep others out, grabbed Roni by the arm, and darted up the stairs and away. Roni understood immediately and took flight to find Vi and ask for help. As soon as Roni vanished into the clouds, the winds picked up and something zipped past her, her orange hair flying into her face. She just managed to tuck her hair behind her ears again when she saw the wind smash two people into the wall until their bones smashed and the wall even began to give way; the dead people slumped to the floor, and everyone nearby screamed. Winds wrapped themselves around people that tried to jump overboard and held them around their waist or necks, strangling them or snapping them in two like they're a nutcracker and their victim was the walnut.
"Bekka," Trei hissed. "You just had to wake up out of all of them, didn't you?"

((I'm totally stealing your ferry XD))
A few minutes before Cirxel stood leaning on the railing of the deck, watching the scene unfold before him. quite a crowd had gathered to watch the troupe rehearse on board, and Cirxel was getting several curious glances with his half a mask on. The white plaster was succesfully blocking the olive half of his face, leaving most to assume he was a purple lupe with red markings and hair , his hands gloved and as close to the sostume as they would allow, wearing black pants and a white collared shirt. Only his green ear and half his tail were out of order.
Their director stopped the current scene, standing up and calling the lupe over.
"Alright, Ix, Terra, let's try your song again. And I want it to look realistic, got it. Terra, pretend he's Niox, why don't you." Cirxel grinned and several people laughed as he took up his partner's hand, waiting for the director to start the tape.
...Cirxel took a breath as Terra took over the duet for the moment, tryingo stay focused. Something was annoying him, the flash of red that had shot passed him out fo the hallway. He glanced toward the sky where he had last seen it only to hear a sickening crunch over the music, and people began screaming in fright. The split lupe quickly pulled away to find the source only to join the shout at the sickening sight. He instantly found his partner's hand grasping his, and she was doing a mighty fine job of acting like she wasn't about to faint.
((Ugh, I'll stop there. For the record, his current play is Phantom of the Opera. I ran out of ideas XD))

((Good thing Roni didn't see him or she might've misinterpreted it :/ Poor girl is a lovesick puppy over Ix AND Gorrio and she doesn't know it xDD))
The wind grabbed random people and smashed them into walls and floors, broke them in half, or suffocated them. Blood and bone flew everywhere, and some of the winds even pulled organs out of their victims. Trei could only conjure up a force field for so many people, herself included. She ran past a group of actors and stuck one all along the stage, but she noticed that one of the actors that had run off lay in a bloody heap on the ground. ((I'd like to say it was Ix's partner, but you can make the call xDD))
But Trei couldn't save everyone. She would have to confront Bekka herself. She made her way toward the cabin.....
When Roni landed without Vi, Trei was not surprised. She was nearby, so she shoved Roni into the nearest safe place, which was the stage. Trei returned toward the cabin, trying to find Bekka's brain waves. It was tough. The murderess was great at hiding her thoughts, especially when she learned Trei could read minds.
Roni protested against being held back. She wanted to confront Bekka too, but she knew she couldn't. She'd only get herself killed, especially in this rampage. The boat lurched with the winds and she found herself off her feet and flying backwards. She hit someone and they landed hard on the ground, still within the faint red force-field barrier. She murmured apologies and stood up, then grabbed the hand of the person she fell onto to help him up, until she saw who it was. "Ix!" she squeaked, rather loudly, and dropping him. ((XDD))

((Whatever, go ahead. She's just an extra anyway XD))
Ix watched the carnage ahead with a comination of sickness, dread, and mouning panic. He notied that no one on the stage was being hiurt, but that didn't make things any easier. People were screaming around him and shouting for those they knew, but before Cirxel could join his voice with ther's the ship lruched and he found himself sprayed on th ground with someone on top of him.
"Umph" he grunted, as the hand was that offered to him let go in mid motion of pulling him up. He looked up at the figure, hearing his name and jumped up, mask askew on his face.
"Roni? What are you doing here?"
He looked her over to assure himself she was in one peice, running a hand through his hair surprise.

The boat shook violently as the sudden winds practically picked the boat out of the water. A small cyan krawk ran to his window, curious sky blue eyes stared at the people running and screaming about as his mind tried to comprehend what was going on. He turned back to his chair, grabbed his dark navy jacket, and pulled it over his white shirt. He ran his fingers across the wall and over other random objects he passes as he walked toward the door. His face held a strange determined expression. His small fingers brushed over a plate leftover from someone's meal and his face brightened, turning from confusion to acknowledgment. Zeque smiled a big toothy grin and picked up the plate, dumping all the remaining french fries on the table before walking at a faster pace toward the door. He opened the door with no fear at all, his features booming with confidence until he saw the blood splattered all over the walls and on the stairs.
Ze's knuckles turned white as he gripped the plate harder and scanned the hall with his bright blue eyes. Wind lashed at his cheeks, sending weird signals to him. Some told him where the source of the wind was coming from while others told him that the wind was bad and that he needed to get his butt out of there. This was weird, he usually didn't have this problem when it came to his power. He would just touch something and it would tell him what to do with it. That's why he now had this plate with him. Whoever was causing this wind needed to be knocked out and this plate was the perfect thing to use when it came to hitting someone unconscious... But the wind was sending him mixed signals. He continued too look around the halls, stepping over bodies and puddles of blood when they intercepted him.

She was overwhelmed with relief at seeing him in here and in one peice that she forgot to answer his question, and instead hugged him tightly and asked three of her own. "Are you okay? You're not hurt? Why were you here in the first place?" She stopped herself, let go, and then blushed, thankfully impossible to see on her red skin. "I'm sorry, I'm just worried about your safety. I haven't seen you in forever. It's really dangerous here," she added darkly.
--
Bekka was on all fours, her hair hung over her head which was bent slightly underneath her. The wind was so strong now. She grinned at the feeling of such power, at the sounds of so much death and horror....
But why did she feel so physically weak? Her wrists had started bleeding up again before she healed them up. She could move through this wind if she wanted to, but somehow, this position, staring at the blue carpet, was all she could see. Her head hurt very badly, from both the hits and Trei's magick sinking into her after finally finding her.

Cirxel wrapped an arm around her shoulder as she hugged him, but removed it as soon as she released him and tried to answer the rapidly fired questions.
"I'm fine. No I'm not hurt. And we were taking the ferry to where we're performing. It's good to see you too. And I kind of got the idea." He frowned, taking a moment to glance aoutside the stage, which was a horribly regrettable idea, considering one of the first people he laid eyes on.
He clenched them shut, turning away and stifling a groan. He quickly turned, trying to find a particular face on the sateg, only to find him already in hysterics, trying to get through the wall of people keeping him on the stage. His screaming of the girl's name wasn't helping, and one of the more effective troupe members say fit to knock him out before he found himself killed.
Cirxel turned back to Roni, fixing his mask and making a point not to look at anyhting bu her and the floor.
"This is really bad. Do you know who's casuing it? or what?"
