- Six months ago, a meteor hit the earth
- it wasn't much of an event
- beyond the town it landed in being crushed
- relief funds all that
- Tara - Last Tuesday at 9:32 PM
- Poor town
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 9:32 PM
- but people were able to evacuate thanks to NASA's forewarning
- so no one actually died
- Tara - Last Tuesday at 9:33 PM
- Ah, that's good at least.
- E-mouse - Last Tuesday at 9:33 PM
- Hooray science!
- Though I bet they were eager to investigate and retrieve what they could...
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 9:34 PM
- Indeed they were
- No one was told what they discovered there, except that it was a rock from space
- a space rock
- Tara - Last Tuesday at 9:35 PM
- Space rock from space
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 9:35 PM
- that became less of a luxury when odd things began to occur
- First, the animals began to mutate
- environmentallists at first were intrigued... then concerned
- no one tied it to the meteor at first when animals were getting bigger and faster
- people started wondering when they grew to monstrous sizes and began hunting humans
- I say hunting but that may not be the right word
- since they didn't eat anyone
- they didn't eat anything
- they just seemed to want to kill
- E-mouse - Last Tuesday at 9:38 PM
- entertaining toys
- Tara - Last Tuesday at 9:38 PM
- D:
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 9:41 PM
- That's when a discovery was made
- Most weapons were entirely useless against these things
- but the meteor had a metal that when exposed to these creatures was lethal in the same way a knfe would be to a human
- they were still tough, but not immune
- work began on making weapons utilizing this metal and on replicating the alloy and elements in the meteor
- Every country in the world was a collaberative part of this, given it affected everything
- that was the least of their concerns though
- E-mouse - Last Tuesday at 9:43 PM
- Aaaaaat which point the alloys started affecting humans
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 9:43 PM
- it wasn't just the animals
- who were affected
- humans began developing in strange ways.
- Some of them went mad, others feral, similar to the animals
- but some merely inheritted some personality quirks or even no changes in personality
- but all were changed in other ways
- feats that could not be performed otherwise became possible
- increased stamina increased speed increased reflexes
- similar to the animals these were stable across the board
- but the truly amazing things, those were unique
- and it varied wildly too
- some could touch plants and make them grow
- others could heal flesh wounds with a touch
- some were even trivial
- the ability to change a television channel with your mind
- but all were unexplainable
- and of course, that's when the other discovery was made
- prior to this, the animals were just killing anything in their path
- now they were fixated
- anyone afflicted, anyone with a weapon made of the alloy
- that's what they were drawn to
- of course, the optimal solution was to build cities with walls made of the alloy
- monsters would ever be at your doorstep
- but they'd have a hard time getting in
- and so it was that many affected by this meteor
- who still had a stable mind
- migrated to these mega cities
- technology in those cities advanced drastically
- and the world changed
- in 6 months
- the world went from as you know it
- to having entire countries baren and void
- abandoned by their people and cllaimed by the monsters
- Sound interesting~?
- giggles
- E-mouse - Last Tuesday at 9:50 PM
- Wilderness magitek
- Tara - Last Tuesday at 9:52 PM
- I guess they're cuter than Titans
- (But yeah, sounds fine to me)
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 9:53 PM
- so the question is
- are you priorly affected
- if so what is your power
- if you don't want to choose I'll choose for you
- but~
- Tara - Last Tuesday at 9:56 PM
- I think I'd like to take what you give me and roll with it
- E-mouse - Last Tuesday at 9:56 PM
- Are we shooting more for lewd, plot, or combat, or is that unclassified
- ... classified what are words
- Paper - Last Tuesday at 9:58 PM
- i will at least take a power, but no promises of joining in tonight. we'll see
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 9:58 PM
- ah, I won't rule out that there could be some lewds in it but
- it's more plot
- and some combat
- oh and one other thing I forgot to mention
- some of the people afflicted developed animal characteristics, which has made people afraid
- afraid that they could become like the monsters
- now, scientists have examined DNA of changing individuals vs. stable ones
- and said that they are unliekly to do so
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 10:00 PM
- but the stigma and fear are still there
- and theyr'e often relegated to the outskirts of cities, if not excluded from them all together
- the cities are very centralized as you might imagine
- Tara - Last Tuesday at 10:00 PM
- (people with animal characteristics, how did you ever come up with that part)
- Paper - Last Tuesday at 10:01 PM
- [tis truely a mystery]
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 10:01 PM
- given the walls hold out monsters
- (who knows)
- (it was a stroke of brilliance)
- E-mouse - Last Tuesday at 10:03 PM
- Catboy with black ears/tail with superhuman computer-hacking/programming skills?
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 10:04 PM
- that works for me
- you'll need to work from the shadows and in the undercities
- Tara - Last Tuesday at 10:04 PM
- Mmm, catboy~
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 10:04 PM
- because most IT won't hire hybrids
- E-mouse - Last Tuesday at 10:06 PM
- That would be the plan, yes! Working on commission under a psuedonym and/or questionably-legal antics in rough times. Generally reclusive, but.
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 10:07 PM
- works for me
- have any preferences Tara?
- Tara - Last Tuesday at 10:08 PM
- Hm...
- Some kind of animal traits, but which I'm capable of hiding?
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 10:10 PM
- your power would have to be to hide them, unless you plan to pull a Blake
- snorts
- Tara - Last Tuesday at 10:10 PM
- Yeah, tie it to my power. You can choose the animal~
- E-mouse - Last Tuesday at 10:11 PM
- [s]bonobo[/s]
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 10:11 PM
- ahahahhahahaha
- alright you can have stealth/cloaking
- that can be used in individual areas
- and let's see, you can be a wolfgirl~
- giggles
- geez a whole party of outcasts
- lots of racism incoming
- Tara - Last Tuesday at 10:14 PM
- Awoo~
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 10:15 PM
- laughs
- so then, I'm going to assume you use your stealth for also less than legal ventures
- infact
- you two can be a team
- Mouse gets you past security
- and you do the actual catburglery, or is that wolf burglery
- Tara - Last Tuesday at 10:16 PM
- Works~
- E-mouse - Last Tuesday at 10:18 PM
- When internet mercenary antics and critter foraging doesn't cut it, at least
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 10:19 PM
- heh
- Tara - Last Tuesday at 10:19 PM
- And who's @Paper going to be?
- Lexicat - Last Tuesday at 10:19 PM
- Oh does paper want me to make hers for her?
- Tara - Last Tuesday at 10:20 PM
- (Collecting my pizza, back shortly)
