[GC] A Game of Children IC (introduction)

[Timothy]

(OOC: all the characters will begin in the catacombs)

Once the Rumbling stops, you carefully lift up your head and look at the other children. Most have been killed, and you see and smell blood everywhere. Betwwen the debris and the dead bodies you see some other movement. You're not the only one that survived.
Each child handles this in his own manner, some hide in the shadows, some cry, some call out names. After a while one kid stands up and goes to the others. Putting tears aside you all decide to go into the city to search for family or head to the temple of Illmater (the Crying God). You have agreed to meet eachother all in the temple of Illmater, if you can find nobody else.
Somehow, you all know nobody else will be found.

(OOC: get to know eachother a bit official campaign will not start yet, only people who have posted can be interacted with, the others are still in the city, but heading for the temple.)

 

[Sixchan]

As fast as I can, I head home to my house. It's just rubble now, of course, but finding no-one alive, I sit for some time in what was my former bedroom, and start crying again. After some time, I get up, try to get as many salves and bandages as I can from my mother's cabinet so I can help any wounded that my friends find, and head for the temple of Illmater.

A dead man to some

Fritz makes his way throguh the city shocked at the wreckage. He heads to his house, to his surprise it is still standing, even though he saw many, many dead people on the way over he hopes his father lives.

He struggles with the door, but then bashes through. Inside he finds his father on the floor a large piece of rubble inlodged in his skull. Fritz falls down, but then sits up and begins to sob as he analyse the situation. So serious stuff happened here. Fritz didn't know what he would do about it, it wasnt like he was a mighty warrior or a powerful magician. He figured for now he best band together with the other children.

He wipes his face on his gloves and leaves the house, a part of him dead, and heads to the temple, taking a seat on the large steps outside.

(3rd person's probably better)

Aska approached the temple slowly. After all, carrying healing supplies and her mother's mace (which had been given to her as her mother put her in the Catacombs for safety) was no easy task for Aska's small build. As she made it to the steps, there was only one other person at the temple. As he budged up to let her sit down, he winced and grabbed his side.
"You're hurt!" She said, and moved closer to inspect the wound. The boy moved away and shook his head. "Don't be silly," she said in reply, "I can help you, here."
She reached into her pocket and took out one of the bottles marked 'pain killer'. Taking out a bandage, she dampened part of it with the salve, and wrapped it round the boy's side.
"The pain is stopping..." he remarked, after some time. Aska smiled.
"What's your name?" she asked.
"I'm Fritz. We saw each other, remember? I was trying to make friends. Before all this." he replied.
"I remember you! I'm Aska, Fritz! Nice to meet you."

 

[GWolf]

Thanx a Bunches

"Thanks I didn't even realzie I was hurt what with all thats going on. I'm glad I could make my first friend despite all this and a pretty girl too. Father would be proud..." As Fritz finishes his sentence he looks down and away from aska.

 

[Timothy]

OOC: Sixchan, I don't know if you discussed it with Gwolf, and it doesn't matter now, but could you play your won char only?
I know it's slower, but people might not like it.

 

[Sixchan]

Aska put her arm around Fritz to comfort him.
"My mother always said that people go to service their god when they die. My mum and dad are with Gond now, and they'll be very happy, so I don't need to be so sad. Your dad's gone, but he's very happy, and he wants you to be happy too, right? So don't feel sad." Despite her own words though, Aska was close to tears as well.

 

[GWolf]

True That

(I wasn't mad, but thanks for puitting that out there tim)

Fritz accepts the girls arm on his shoulder, and returns with the same comforting gesture. "You know its funny, me and my father could talk to each other about alot of things but we never got around to talking about the gods. You know one day I'm going to build great machines and combat whatevil could do this...if i don't die by then like everyone does someday..."

 

[Sixchan]

(Okay, point noted)

"You and your father sound a lot like my Parents. I don't know, but maybe they knew each other, since my dad read and wrote a lot of books about science, and my mum liked building things too. Maybe your dad's with Gond, and he's watching us with my mum and dad right now!" Aska smiled, and the grief was gone, for a while at least.

 

[GWolf]

Well

"Your family knew my father! Thats a good thing. I'm glad I was able to learn about the stuff my father did for a job so I can use that knowledge to do great things. What about your parents?" Firtz asked lightining up.
