[FFRP] The Black City...

[Knight Errant]

He was really starting to hate this place...

Not being able to take the oppressive silence, he jumps on top of a van and barks out. "Yo! Is anyone alive out there?!"

[Zoey]

"Hmm... seems this city is pretty lively" said Caine as he exited the Tavern.

[Brnin8r]

Jack's call would echo down the street and it would be answered with dread silence...for about ten seconds. Just as Jack might have been convinced no one would answer, he would hear a single car door open and hit the car next to it. The exact car is indistinguishable.

Caine would find himself back at the pier...and he might notice that his boat (that's how you got here right?) was gone.

[Knight Errant]

Loudly. "Well what do you know... here I was worried I'd get bored to death here. Step up where I can see you, Sonny Jim... I swear I wont shoot on sight."

He looks around for the source of the noise.

[Zoey]

Caine looked around for anything that could've done it. There's no way a boat suddenly dissapears like that. He turned around in the dirrecion on the city.
"Seems I'll have to walk out of the city, when im done..." he said as he walked, keeping an eye out for anything suspicious.

[Brnin8r]

Jack's smug reply would be answered by the sound of one of the car's horns blaring loudly, and it continues to whine for a good twenty seconds. Once it stops, all is silence once again, but one thing's for sure: it didn't come from the same area as where the door sound came from.

Caine's wonderings would be mildly disturbed as the very distant sound of a faint car horn broke through the silence. Though from it's quiet nature, it couldn't be less than a couple miles away. As he looked around the pier, there was no sign or clue as to why his boat had gone missing.

[Knight Errant]

"Well now your starting to piss me off."

He clicks the safety off, and soon another sound is cutting through the silence... the whirring of his Vulcan's barrels. His cybernetic eye lights up, and he begins scanning the area for movement and heat signatures.

[Zoey]

Caine looks toward the city from were he heard the car horn, but he dismissed it as anything important. He just wanted to get the job done and get the hell out. He took out a small map with the direccions to the company building. If he hurried he could probably finished before tomorrow. Caine exited the pier and was soon on the streets of the city.

[Brnin8r]

As he looks at the ambiguous looking traffic jam the sound of an engine, from another once silent spot of the jam, revvs to life. Instantly, Jack would be able to pinpoint the particular whereabouts of that car since the engine gives off clearly a heatsource. Soon after that one starts, another horn begins to blare which is soon joined by maybe three more and a few more engines are turned on form more heat signatures for Jack to spot. As the cacophonoy gets louder, Jack might see a streak of movement off to his far right in the distance. The movement seemed to jolt but then slow. The figure which has slowed down begins to meander slowly through the maze of cars.

Caine would be able to hear more noise off in the far distance, but it's still too far away to be of any benefit. The company building resided maybe half a mile east and maybe the same distance north...if not less. Mind, the map is old and hasn't been updated in a few years so perhaps the landscape's changed a bit.

[Zoey]

Caine continued to walk in the sidewalks of the city. Passing through a bunch of abandoned buildings. He's holding the map and looking around trying to keep on track. "Ok... If I keep going north and turn here, and here... then pass through here...hmm... What a pain..."

[Knight Errant]

Jack knows distraction tactics when he sees them... he leaps from car to car, landing on the sidewalk and putting his back to a building. Then takes a closer look at the traffic jam... something was doing all of this. And it wasnt for the sheer joy of it.

[Brnin8r]

Caine's map, being old and outdated, didn't help him much. But as he passed an old warehouse-looking building he could have sworn he heard a jingling of metal from within.

Jack quickly ends up on the side of the sidewalk, and he'd be able to distinguish more and more heat signatures from the multiple engines turned on. The figure that has been moving continues to casually walk around the traffic jam and the cars.

[Zoey]

The first thing that poped into Caine's head was the idea of a better map or something that would help him get to his destination faster, inside that warehouse. He headed towards the warehouse entrance.

[Knight Errant]

This didnt make any sense... how were cars turning themselves on?

He yells in the direction of the figure. "Hey! Come on out where I can see you, would ya?"

[Brnin8r]

Caine would regret his decision as the smell of HORRIBLY rotten meat assailed his senses. Turns out, he had found a slaughterhouse. Massive slabs of meat, some preserved while some viciously ripped open from their packaging, hang from rusted chains. The meat slabs hide most of the warehouse.

The figure slowed down and turned to Jack. As he got a closer look at the figure, it seemed to be wearing a holocaust robe, but covering the hood's opening was a curved mirror. More car engines turn on.
