Fight Against Darkness

[Aldrea945]

"Danger be to those that seek out things they do not understand.  Turn away or be lost child."  The letter sat on the balcony roof she slept on, crisp and clean compared to the slate around her.  Red ink stood out on the white, dark as dried blood and readable only in the moonlight.  Her fur bristled.
 
"Old coot.  I know exactly what I'm doing," she said.  The moonlight highlighted the old boy's clothes she wore, from newsboy cap to boots.  Her white hair was tucked into the hat, and brown eyes shown against the stripes on her face.  She yawned and flicked her tail and ears.  "Aw well.  I'll bed down tonight and start searching tomorrow."
 
As she lay under the blankets stashed under the eves, a figure watched nearby.  The smog in the London air did little to hide the eyes of it.  Within a minute, it dashed away.
 
The year was 1800.  The place was London.  But the world would soon be Hell.
 
(I am starting this from a roleplay envisioned by someone else.  He hasn't been on the forums since a few posts in, but it seemed neat to start.  I hope it's not against the rules to use an abandoned RP.)

Elizabeth looks up when lacy returned from her mission "you deliver the letter child?" Lacy nods and keeps her gaze  adverted Lacy:"yes ma'am just like you said." Elizabeth smiles "good you can go back to sleep now. i need to do something. i will return shortly."
 
Elizabeth stands and draws her tattered hooded cloak around her and draws the hood up. after a while of walking she stops on the outskirts of the city. a nother hooded figure is just barely visible. Elizabeth bows slightly, "the letter has been delivered. do you have any other wishes?"
 
The hooded figure says nothing for a few min and it makes Elizabeth nervous, but then if finally hisses out, "no there isssss nothing left that you need to accomplisssssssh. await your next sset of ordersss" Elizabeth nods then returns to her small group and rests.

max snuck through a few alleys silently, looking for a place to  sleep for the night where the wind wouldn't bother him, soon finding a ladder leading to a small roof-top green house he had found a few weeks before that he liked to stay in. silently as always he climed  the ader and sliped in through the door with a broken lock, hiding away in a dark spot he wraped a blanket he had 'borrowed' from a clothes line just down the street around himself tightly.

Morning came slowly, casting grey light on the dirty slush along the streets and off white snow on the roofs.  Mailcarriers had aleady started their routes, rolling down the streets next to the milk carriers.  Cold winds woke the streets throughout London, brushing snow against windows and under blankets.
 
Rachel opened her eyes, squinting against the wind and rolling over.  She stretched languidly, shivering in the cold air and readjusting her jacket.  Another day, another few wallets to swipe.  She tucked the blankets back under the eves, adjusting her hat on her head.  The letter lay tucked into her bag, forgotten.
 
She hurried off the roof via escapes and headed into the alleys.  She'd find that thing that swiped her dinner.  Whatever it was.

Elizabeth smiled as she sipped on her hot tea and watched the others sharing a few hot loaves of freshly baked bread she was able to wring out of the bakers son. he was a nice lad, though he wasn't all too smart.. thought not with his brain. well in the end it served her well. She had three more letters to deliver.. these she would do herself.

Jackal silently followed the odd girl across the rooftops, curious as to why she was running. He rested one hand on the pommel of his sahmshir, in case he needed to use it. What is she looking for? he wondered.

[Luke White-Heart]

Luke sat in the rain, waiting for the contact with information about his father. Looking out of the alley, he saw Elizabeth walking along, being followed but Jackal (though he doesn't know who they are.) What's going on here? he wonders. Looking around, he gets up and follows Jackal on the opposite roof.

"I need to take care of some things. you guys are free to do as you wish. anything you get while I'm away is yours to keep. so if you want to stock up.. now will be the time to do so. If I'm not back by sundown, move to the safehouse on the east sector the third warehouse building." she looks at all of them. "Is that understood?" All of them nod and reply in unison, "Yes miss, travel well." Elizabeth nods. "Good. i will see you all in time." Elizabeth finishes up her tea and dons her tattered traveling cloak, its faded purple and black velvet, one of the only things left from her home.
 
(I'm sitting drinking my tea aldrea is the one moving. and its SNOWING not raining. love you all but read thoroughly please... that way to avoid confusion. )

[Luke White-Heart]

(sorry...snow's in my eyes...first rp....)

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal sudden;y halts and glances behind him, hearing something. Not seeing anything, he keeps going... unaware he's being followed...

[Luke White-Heart]

Luke hides behind a radiator, breathing heavily.
Gotta be more careful, he thinks, then continues to follow Jackal.

[Cifero Windtail]

Suddenly, Jackal does a total reversal and leaps at Luke, pinning him to a chimney.
"Why are you following me?!"

[Luke White-Heart]

*Coughs slightly*
"I could ask you the same thing about her!"

[Cifero Windtail]

"I was curious!" Jackal said. "You don't normally see some random girl running across rooftops!"
Jackal lets Luke go, dropping the wolf to the ground.
"You're welcome to help me follow her."

[Luke White-Heart]

*growls slightly*
"I prefer to work on my own. In any case, i have some other business to attend to."
