[GC] A Game of Children IC (introduction)

[Sixchan]

After a few minutes, Aska stops moving completely. Eventually, she stands up. "I...I'm not tired. I've had enough sleep. I'm fine. Nothing's wrong. I'll keep a watch. Goodnight." She walks into the main hall, leaning against a wall so no-one can see her, and stares at the open door. Perhaps...perhaps it was right.

 

[EvilMountainDew]

Damien yawns and speaks at the same time, "Well, I really think I should go to bed, we all should. Tomarrow morning we can figure out a plan.":

 

[Lichtenhart]

Thomas goes back to his couch and looks at the ceiling, unable to sleep.

I want to help her, but I don't know why. Maybe I should tell her...

He turns and turns and finally he gets up, looks at the other children to see if it's allright, then he takes a candle and goes into the other room, closing the door behind him. He notices Aska against a wall, but he does not even look at her, he only sits on the ground.

After a while he gathered enough courage to speak.
"When my father left us, I thought it was my fault. I thought it was because I haven't been good enough, strong enough, because I was too weak and whiny. I thought he left because he hated me. I felt really bad and I didn't speak for nearly two weeks. But it wasn't my fault. What happened in the city, it wasn't our fault. And it's not our fault that we survived. I know my mom wanted me to survive, that's why she brang me into the catacombs, and I think your parents wanted you to survive as well. Live on Aska, because they wanted you to do..."

He stops and begins to cry, and you can't quite figure out why.

 

[Sixchan]

Hearing Tom start crying, she looks at him. After a while, she nods. Looking back to the door, she folds her arms. "Alright."

 

[Lichtenhart]

OOC: Thomas or Tommy or Tom. Timothy is our almighty DM

Tommy sobs and manages to stop crying before he awkes the others. While he plays with the wax of the candle he whispers: "...But those children in the catacombs, she told me to care after them, and I didn't save them. It is my fault they died. I should have brought them in another corridor, where the ceiling was safe. I should have done something but I didn't, and they died..." Tommy sobs again "But I won't let you die. I promised. I'll take care of you all and no one else will die... but I think I'm gonna need your help. Help me save them."

 

[Sixchan]

OOC: Sorry. Too many 't' names. Brain fried. Batteries going fla--*click*

"Perhaps that's my purpose. To keep you all alive. Alright, Tom, I'll help, but right now, the best help you can get is sleep. I've already rested, so I can keep watch. Goodnight."

 

[Lichtenhart]

Tommy stands up, takes the candle and goes near her "Show me a smile before I go back to bed."

 

[Sixchan]

Aska looks at Tommy for a few seconds before doing anything. "Tom...don't push your luck. Goodnight."

 

[EvilMountainDew]

Damien says half-awake full-jokingly, "Go to bed already.... I need my beauty sleep." and then quickly as if he might have forgotten he says, "And don't forget to wake me up when everyone is alive again..."

 

[Timothy]

OOC: I'm back, had a nice sleep-over with some frinds, real tired now, but I'm here...

IC: When everyone has gone off to bed Aska watches the entrance, suddely she becomes cold, very cold. There's something wrong, but she can't figure out what it is...
Suddenly she hears a wail out of the room where the other children are sleeping. It does not sound like one of the children, but it's full of anquish and despair.

The Other children are having this Nightmare.(Aska doesn't know this is going on)

You are all at great heigths, looking down on your city. The city is still as it should be, everything whole and people moving around. You can see your houses and even see some people walking around who you know. You see a couple of children laughing, and heading of to the catacombs. You see Mycheal following them, it looks as though he goes to thecatacombs too, but at the last moment he turns to the forest.
Suddenly the sky darkens and you see two figures aproaching the city through the sky.

Then you hear a wail, full of anquish and despair. You allw ake up and see the headpriest standing in front of you, internal organs hanging from his belly and dried up blood on his head. He speaks with a very low, soft voice, you have to listen vry closely to hear him...

"He, He did this... Our defender tried, to no avail...He has won, finally, we will all die..."

The priest falls silent and looks down seeing his own slashed belly.

"I have allready died"

And falls down...
