[The ceiling of an old building is in view of the camera. There is a gray light from a window that splashes onto it, giving the feel of a cold, silent morning. A soft, if somewhat pained voice comes over the feed.How is...everyone? This is Abel Nightroad, just checking in...I've been bitten. But it's been a while and I've yet to turn, so I'm taking ( Read more... )

[The ground shakes a bit. The entrence to the catacombs lights up like a firework, blue electricity sparking from it. An explosion of lightning bursts from the entrance, clearing out a little area of the forest in front of it, leaving trees nothing but smoldering stubs or skeletal black wood. The being that caused it flies out, its watch falling, ( Read more... )

[Why was Abel in the haunted house? His Good Sumeritan nature had gotten the best of him, and he was looking for others stuck inside, or cornered by ghosts. His face appears on the video feed, worried.]

Is anyone else stuck inside this place? If there is, I-

Yoite, are you out there?

[One of Abel's resident's has been missing for some time now, and it's got Abel worried. All of his things are still there - God, he hopes the boy hasn't been taken to the catacombs...Has anyone seen Yoite out there? He's fairly tall, very thin, wears all black, and a hat and scarf and gloves, usually...Black hair, very ( Read more... )

[[Theta smiles into the camera. Looks like she's at the train station.]]

Father Nightroad, could you come to the train station as soon as possible, please? There's a new arrival who needs rooms with you, if you have space available.

[[OOC - Just hop in the thread whenever if he's got space available, or reply here to tell her he doesn't if you ( Read more... )

[Jungle...it's been a while since he's been in one. And it's kind of ridiculous, isn't it, the size of some of these...things...? Animals and insects and, who KNOWS what those big lizards ever were, and oh shoot those were angry looking lizards...five of them. Sharp teeth and claws, one big hooked claw on their toe. Abel was backing away slowly.Eh- ( Read more... )

 [ This was definitely a new place. Absolutely! Jack had never imagined up a place like this before. It was very interesting, if not a bit primitive for his liking. After all, he was used to the technology of the year 2141... this was ancient! 
Nevertheless, he's fascinated by this, and the hybrid is skirting about the train station, communicator in ( Read more... )

[Abel's face appears on the screen.Hey there! For those of you who don't know me, yet, I'm Father Abel Nightroad. I've taken the liberty of attempting to restore one of the houses here in the city. I'm opening it up to the new arrivals of the city to get settled in until they find somewhere they'd rather live, or find someone they know here to stay ( Read more... )

[Father nightroad is...mostly there. Some of him is buried under various building/cleaning supplies and there's a clean rag on his head. Some of the dust behind him is still clearing.So...I was thinking of opening up this place to other newcomers - to get them situated until they found a more preferrable place. Unfortunately I'm not the most agile ( Read more... )

[Action]

[A tall, silver-haired priest clad in black robes steps off the train with his-

...well, without his luggage, actually.]

Now where did those suitcases go...?

[The puzzled priest looks around in confusion.]

...but this isn't Rome at all. Um, mister conductor, could you-

[But the train had already begun to move away again, and the ( Read more... )
