[FFRP] The Black City...

[Brnin8r]

Jack's path was an easy one to find for a moment, but the road became harder and harder to discern as a thick layer of fog descended to block the way out. Jack would also find that his wrist was beginning to itch.

Caine's path would also be blocked by the insanely thick fog and suddenly navigating became a far greater task. The feeling of being watched never left him.

[Zoey]

Caine continued much slower with his guns drawn. "Damn it all..." he said as he tried looking were he walked.

[Knight Errant]

Jack's cybernetic eye does a good job of cutting through the fog... of course with his normal one he couldnt see a damn thing.

But his wrist, now... that was more worrying. He leans up against a wall and checks it. It would be just his luck if it got infected...

[Brnin8r]

Caine would not only begin to feel like something was watching him, but that it might be getting closer.

Jack's arm was mostly the same, except that the gash across his wrist had festered a little and it seemed a little larger...it almost looked like the scab was...squirming.

[Knight Errant]

"Damn... this is going to hurt."

He gets out a knife, pours some very strong alcohol on it, and goes to clean out the wound.

[Zoey]

Caine decided to take some cover in an alley and wait for the thing to pass if anything was really there.

[Brnin8r]

Jack's knife easily cut the scab to hit...metal?

Caine's feeling wouldn't get any further. A quick hand over the mouth would easily silence him, a harsh voice whispered in his ear "If you don't want to be utterly destroyed or have your throat cut, I'd be very quiet and very still."

[Knight Errant]

"... this isnt a good sign."

He grits his teeth and continues working with the knife, cutting the black scab off of his wrist until he can see good old fashioned red, raw, bleeding tissue... and whatever the hell is really hard and metallic.

[Zoey]

Caine knowing he had no control over the situation decided to 'play along'. He said nothing and didn't fight back.

[Brnin8r]

It seemed that some of the tissue itself had a metallic hue that the metal object Jack hit sported. It was only a small chunk of steel in his body, but it had seemingly generated from the wound.

Caine was quickly dragged back into a building which he couldn't identify since he was being, I don't know,...dragged. As he was pulled into the darkness, the voice continued, "Do not move, do not speak, don't even breathe..." Caine was released as the person walked to a table and began rummaging through what sounded like tools, "Where is it, where is it, where is it?" the low mumble echoed in what Caine could only guess as a very large room.

[Zoey]

As soon as Caine was released he began to think of a way to escape, yet he didn't know the guys intentions. "Who are you?" he said even though the person clearly said not to. For some insurance he reached for his guns incase he was hostile.

[Knight Errant]

Relieved it wasnt anything... weirder, but still hurting like hell, Jack cleaned out the rest of the wound, setting the metal aside for further investigation later. Once all of the scab was taken care of, he douses the wound with alcohol, stifles a scream, then applies a nice medical secret the army keeps stashed by... which stops the bleeding and seals up the wound in and instant. Wrapping it in gauze, he figures it should last till he can get it properly looked after.

Then he picks up the metal... looking it closer.

[Brnin8r]

Caine would instantly feel the weight of a small wrench hitting him in the chest, "I said don't speak! They'll hear you." the voice whispered angrily. "Ah, here it is." he mumbled as he found the tool he needed. A couple green lights lit up and an odd electrical-looking strip appeared below the two lights. The lights came closer and began scanning over Caine's body. "I need to make sure you haven't been tainted." the voice said quietly again as the mystical device passed up and down Caine's arms and legs.

The hunk of metal seemed incomplete, like a piece of a cylinder. What was interesting about it was that it had a circuit at the largest end with a small light that would blink once maybe every ten seconds...not very often at all.

[Knight Errant]

"... the hell is that?" Figuring it couldnt be good... he drops it to the ground and stomps on it heavily. Then inspects the result!

[Zoey]

Caine gripped his chest as he recovered from the wrench attack. "I said... Who are you and what are you doing?" said Caine obviously trying not to lose his cool and shot the guy right then and there inbetween the eyes.
