[FFRP] The Black City...

[Brnin8r]

The girl pointed to the odd looking chair. "F-f-f-f-fiiiiiiixx." she said as she did. After a moment, she pointed to the odd fridge, "Su-su-su-sussstenance."

Damian laughed, "This entire forsaken City's after me as much as it is after you. Max doesn't let anyone leave."

[Harri-chan]

A bright yellow Japanese motorcycle weaved through the abandoned cars in the city, a lone figure riding, although little could be seen of them, as they were a black helmet with the visor down, a black bodysuit that was rather snug, with leather gloves, and heavy black boots. The figure was female, that much was clear from the two small mounds beneath the leather, and she seemed to have pistols strapped all over her body. Straps had been sewn into the suit, and several pairs of the handguns had been tucked into them, each pair in a symmetrical position to eachother. They were at her hips, her thighs, across her stomach, on her upper arms, around her calfs, even one strapped across the top of each foot.

[Knight Errant]

"Alright... lets see." He sets her down in the chair, then goes over to open the fridge and see whats inside.

[Brnin8r]

The sound of rolling thunder passed over Jack and the girl, even being heard from their basement location. The girl looked up, her bloodstained face almost looking like a bad makeup day. "I-i-i-i-intruuuuudeer." she said without gusto. As she leaned into the chair, wires emplaced themselves on her extensions while some dug into her skin and arteries. Like spiders, little robots clacked from the arms of the chair and began knitting the girls skin together with epidermal regenerators and cauterizers for the bigger wounds while some began re-fusing her metal parts together. As Jack opened the fridge he was presented with the same looking shelf as was on the outside, only it seemed to be a glass box with lasers pointed geometrically around it. The girl spoke louder, "S-s-s-s-uuustennance." she spoke and surprisingly the fridge responded: "Command not recognized. Please repeat." the fridge's voice sounded relatively male for as much noise could have a gender.

Damian looked to the sky as the thunder rolled. Waves of lightning crackled behind as if slower than its predecessor. "Ding dong..." he muttered.

As the motorcycle flew into the city, it was almost greeted by the dark capital. The sky lit up with lightning as it attempted to chase the thunder that sprang in all directions. If the city weren't so dismal it would be beautiful as if several pebbles were hitting the surface of water in the sky. The rider's trek was met with no resistance for the first few miles. Though luck cannot win the day, and the woman found herself met with an intersection that looks as if the corner buildings had been annihilated at their connected corners. It looked as if the buildings had lost structural integrity and sloped into the intersection, obviously blocking the way.

[Knight Errant]

Jack looks from the fridge, to the girl, then shrugs. "Whatever." Closing the fridge again, he goes back to look at the girl. "You going to be okay now?"

[Zoey]

Caine looked confused and curious at the same time as he leaned forward. "Who's Max? Why is he after everyone?"

[Harri-chan]

The bike's rear wheel came to a stop, sliding across the surface of the road, and she turned the front wheel, causing the whole bike to slide sideways to a stop, and she plants her feet on the floor once it does, her helmet turning to look up at the fallen buildings. She turns off the edge, the headlights fading with it, before kicking down the stand on the bike, and swung a leg over it, climbing off.

There were several high pitched sounds that only lasted a second, but rose in pitch from start to end, a similar sound to the flash bulb of a camera, and then lights appeared on her outfit, one on the back of each hand, as well as a bright glow from beneath her boots, creating a small lit circle around her feet. She moves her hands around, aiming the light around, looking for an entrance to the buildings, or any other way she might be able to pass through them.

[Brnin8r]

As Jack asks the question a spider-like robot crawled into the girls mouth. "S-s-s-s-s-s...D-d-d-d...M-m-m...B-b....A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z...." the girl's eyes closed for a minute before opening; her eyes seemed brighter. "Affirmative. All is well." without the machine-like stutter, her voice sounded like a beautiful marriage of man and machine; a low synth hum behind her honeyed, feminine voice. "Gratitude." she nodded her head to Jack.

***

Caine shrugged, "All I know is that he's the head honcho around here. The scouts, the witchblades, all of them...stop in their tracks when Max shows up. Yet he almost seems the most primitive...If he's not trying to kill you, he's probably got some mad experiment planned."

***

The buildings are silent and apart from the four that are demolished, they're completely untouched. On the street the woman's on, a bank sits to her left while a bookstore is on the other. The oily rain that falls makes the windows seem like they're crying black tears.

[Knight Errant]

"Yeah... sorry for shooting you in the first place. But this city has really been getting to me."

He bends down so they are eye-level. "Anyway, my name is Jack."

[Zoey]

"Why am I not suprised, they didnt give us the full beifing back at HQ" said Caine rubbing his neck. "Well, where EXACTLY are we going now?"

[Brnin8r]

She looked the mercenary up and down, "Designation: North 31." she said after a moment, a little confused, "Numerical Designation?" she asked.

***

Damian laughed, "Dunno...any ideas? We need to stay near the edge of the city, because the further in, the worse the world gets."

[Knight Errant]

"Dont have one. 'Cept maybe on my old dog tags. But is that really your name? You dont have a normal one...?"

[Brnin8r]

The girl looked confused, "Memory...insufficient." she held her head and then smacked herself lightly like she was Commodore 64. It obviously didn't work, but now she was looking for some hint around her room with as much luck. "Normal Designation...Missing?" she was having a hard time trying to explain her confusion.

[Knight Errant]

"It sounds like whatever happened to you messed with your head. I guess I'll call you North for now. Or how about Nora?" He shrugs. "Well... what can you remember?"

[Harri-chan]

The leather-clad figure reached into a box behind the saddle of the yellow bike, and pulled out what appeared to be a sheet of red. It whirled around her, rippling in the wind as she brought it around her shoulders, and it was revealed as a cloak, a red satin one, with a hood that she left down for the moment. Fastening the cloak around her neck, she reached for the helmet, tugging it up over her head, revealing a pale, pretty face, and thick, curly red hair, as well as a pair of thick black goggles across her eyes, with a reddish glow coming from inside them.

She placed the helmet onto the back of the bike, and then drew the hood up over her head, and that same, short, rising pitch noise sounded again, and then light shone brighter from the goggles, working light torchlights to illuminate wherever she looked as she studied the bank, the bookstore, before heading towards the bank, and trying the doors...
