Jet-Kyo	Everyone in the world has super powers. It’s normal, not mutation. You get assigned jobs (but not social class) based on your powers, and 10 percent or so of the populates are trained to be a part of the military police. The psychics lead the majority of the world, so naturally, everyone wants their child to be psychic – as your power is not determined biologically – though, typically people with certain elemental powers can be found in certain regions. After a rouge with one of the rarest powers – nuclear radiation control – sought out the “corrupt” government to destroy it, the psychic’s seeming contained the inner parts of the city from the initial explosion, which he apparently gave his life to conduct. This sparked a war, which is ongoing between Sarosh and the surrounding continents (not all of them). Outside the main City of Sarosh is a wasteland, full of mutants: People with multiple powers that are terribly disfigured and even animals that are fussed to other animals or plants. World Map: http://jet-kyo.deviantart.com/#/d4nnsmu You are from one of the 10 regions, living in the “prosperity” of Sarosh: Bhaskara – capital of Arctus North Point – City of the North Ouranos – currently at war with Sarosh Broken Wave – highest concentration of water manipulators Mercurius – highest concentration of fire or heat manipulators South Point – military outpost Nuada – province engulfed in poverty and war for something they claim to be innocent of Frey – neutral party in war, highest concentration of animal based powers Yamanu – at war with Nuada, blames them for their sister city’s disappearance. (the pit) The inner city of Sarosh is filled with gangs. Most of which are more of disorganized rebel groups, anarchists; but some are only aiming to kill and steal. You would be part of a gang of 5 – The Thorns, and your leader is gathering you all for a special message. EDIT: wow, totally forgot to mention this. So because super strength is not a mutation, super strong people are usually skinny because they can’t work themselves out and grow. is important.

Jet-Kyo	Name: Torey Hatheway Age: 18 Description: messy medium length dark hair and sky blue eyes, average height and slightly built, he wears a tight white tank top and fingerless gloves with metal braces at the wrist and on his forearm. He wears loose faded black jeans and sneakers. Region: He\’s been told he is from Mercurius, but he\’s only ever known living in Sarosh. Power: A very unique happenstance led to Torey having 5 abilities: Pyrokinesis, Tecnopathy, Super Strength, Energy Manipulation, and Density Control Weakness: this is the draw back. He only has one of each of his five powers for a certain and unknown amount of time for each ability. It could run from hours or for only just a few minutes. He cycles threw them with periods of having absolutely no powers at all, but they always show up in the same order. (so if he runs out of fire control, the next power he\’ll have is tecnopathy) Bio: When Torey was born, he had no powers. When he was registered as such, the Psyons decided to investigate and ubducted him from his home, wiping the memory of his existence from his family\’s mind. They conducted experiments on him as he grew older in a controlled environment as he started the odd development of 5 abilities. Thinking what they were doing was wrong, Nash Hodges – a registered Psyon – took him out of the area and raised him as his own, under the guise of a gang leader. Other: He\’s really care free, but if someone is disrespecting Nash or the group, he\’ll beet them to a pulp. Name: Nash Hodges Age: 27 Description: Short cut hair, wears a scarf and military jacket. No shirt. He has a metal shoulder cup and white military gloves. He wears black pants that fold into his steel toed boots. He also carries a long sword and a pistol – standard military guard weapons. Region: Sarosh Power: Psychokinesis Weakness: he is able to control only one person at a time, and since he is relatively weak for a psyon, he can\’t control someone of a strong will Bio: Was registered as a Psychic when he was 5 when he was making their dog speak, he was prepared for a government seat from that age and onward. He was brilliant, but he had a hard time grasping control of another\’s mind. When he witnessed the testing on Torey, where he became fed up and took the boy. He ran out of the central limits and began to try and raise him by himself. Other: Is a fantastic shot and swordsman. EDIT: gosh I’m an idiot!!!! everyone who is in the main gang, the Thorns, has a black and white rose tattoo on their back or forearm, the stem looking like a spine. It symbolizes the fact that they are a “thorn in the governments spine” gosh i can’t believe i forgot that! This reply was modified 117 days ago by Jet-Kyo.

America	PM me the Character Sheet: Name: Jarred Mathews Age: 21 Description: Tall, dark hair that cover his eyes. Well muscled, but not beefy. Wears an over sized dark blue gi. It’s loose enough to accomidate his common transformations. But some of the larger ones will tear it. Black and white thorn tattoo in the center of his lower back. Region: Frey Power: Animal Mimicry. Weakness: Has to have be familiar with the biology of an animal before mimicking it. Can’t change from one to another that quickly. Bio: Born and raised in Frey, he hadn’t taken a side in the war until recently. Hadn’t used his power offensively in battle until a few months ago. So he has a sort of erratic fighting pattern. Jumping around. Throwing punches randomly. Other: This reply was modified 117 days ago by America.

Moose	Name: Zaid J’dorman Age: 25 Description: Tall and lean. Has short black hair and grey eyes. Skin color is that of Middle Eastern. Has tattoos of black runes on his chest, abdomen and back. Has the Thorns tattoo on his forearm. Region: Mercurius Power: Pyrokinesis Weakness: Must have a source to use his fire manipulating abilities but can, if he has enough energy can create fire from nothing. His powers are very vulnerable to water. He also needs a tremendous amount of stored energy and concentration to summon fire from oblivion since this power is still immature. Bio: Zaid was born into a Pyromancer clan, and was seen as ”holy” for being able to create fire from nothing. He grew up to become a feared warrior and became leader of the clan among popular vote. After a few months he was overthrown and exiled. Other: This reply was modified 117 days ago by Moose.

Kiar	Name: Lisha “Bat” Cielago Age: 20 Description: Slim but toned, chestnut skin, dark hair pulled back in a pony-tail, grey eyes. Often wears a tagelmust or bandanna. The thorn tattoo is on her back, but one vine of it loops around her neck. Region: Sarosh Power: Super agility and precision / infrared vision Weakness: Though she can “see” heat and cold with her infrared vision, she is otherwise blind. This can be a major problem if everything is close to a uniform temperature. Bio: Her parents were from North Point, but moved to Sarosh shortly after Lisha was born. She was born blind, and didn’t gain infrared vision until she was six. She might have had her agility superpower before then, but she only started gaining confidence in her movements once she gained her “heat vision,” as she calls it. Her parents were killed by a raid when she was 10. She has been teaching herself to live in the slums ever since. She’s been a part of at least 3 different gangs. Other: She is an expert at stealth, and uses throwing-blades as her primary weapon. This reply was modified 117 days ago by Kiar. Reason: shtuff This reply was modified 103 days ago by Kiar.

Bio: (yes you need a bio) Isabelle grew up on the streets with her older brother, Diego, and their single mother. They had always been poor, but she and Diego managed to get by. Her brother was a master of petty theft and she was an excellent pickpocket. Growing up on the harsh streets of Nuada made her tough and street-wise, but her brother kept her from getting into too much trouble or losing her innocence and hope. When she was fifteen, they got separated, and she got sent to Sarosh and he remained in Nuada. She has no idea where he is now. She’s new to the thorns. Other: Her dream is to be reunited with Diego so he can tell her the secrets he said he was keeping from her until she was older. He was supposed to tell her on her 18th birthday. That obviously didn’t happen.

January 28, 2012 at 10:48 pm #44748
Jet-Kyo	((thanks blake!)) The gunfire was louder then Nash remembered it to be. Had he been knocked out or did he get shot? He saw the others in the group holding the position. He looked up above the cover of the turned over Car, seeing that there was only a few more officers on the other side. He focused as one of them aimed at Matthews, making him change directions and shoot the legs of his fellow officer before Matthews took him out. He hopped over the cover, and one of the officers attacked him with a swords. He easily dodged and slashed on the man’s left side, slicing the sword back and up at the man’s shoulder before withdrawing. The man’s arm fell useless as he crumbled down in pain. “Let’s hurry up guys!” he called out with a smile before hearing a large BOOM. He looked around, seeing nothing, “…Where is Torey!?” —-Torey—- Torey ducked behind another building, he must have been nearly a block away from the group. They really caught him at a bad time, in between powers. Torey snapped his fingers in desperation, hoping to catch a spark. “Gah!” he said quietly. He knew pyrokinesis was next, but he didn’t know when it would activate. He peeked around the corner, seeing the tank was still a little ways away, but if he didn’t catch fire now then it would make it to the group. “Cmon!!!”

Kiar	Bat hung from the rafters, just inside the doorway of a presently-empty house. Gunfire peppered the outside of the building, and exploded in small craters of sand as it moved down the street. People were running now – soon she would be behind enemy lines. Someone poked their head into her building; it was not an ally. They had just walked out of broad daylight into a dark room; their eyes had to adjust. Hers didn’t. She waited for him to take another step in before she dropped down, deadly silent. One hand-blade drawn swiftly across the neck, the other plunged into his back. He was dead in less than five seconds. It almost wasn’t fair, really. Hopping out of the open door-frame, she left the body in sight to drawn others in. As she found a new hiding space, Bat watched as the heat slowly faded from the man’s body, dissipating into the afternoon. She had always found the process curious – a secret act of nature that only she could see. But there would be many more opportunities to witness the dissipation of human life-force. She waited.

Captain Mollyanne Sunshine	Isabel perched on the edge of the roof, silently looking out over the carnage. It was too dark for anyone to see her. Her big blue eyes reflected light from the moon, lighting up dark areas and letting her see everything that would be obscured from the normal eye. She wasn’t going to join the fight unless it was completely neccesary.
January 29, 2012 at 10:06 pm #45407
Grace U.	Alice feet pounded on the pavement as the large military dogs snapped at her heals. She grind, knowing the dogs where no problem for her what she rely had to rely weary about where the offenses flowing the dogs. A bullet shrieked past her ear and the grin instill disappeared. She closed her eyes locking on to the dogs minds. She sent flash of images of what she wanted then to do. This cussed the dogs a mount of confusion before they turned on there masters. The scrams of the men where loud but she didn’t turn back to look. It was never a very pretty site, seeing people rip to shreds by a pack of dogs.
January 29, 2012 at 10:11 pm #45411
Moose	Zaid was breathing heavily. Stationed behind a flipped over car, he was regaining his breath so he could once again join the fight. There was a huge tear in the back of his black shirt and running with it a bloody gash. He threw the hilt of what was left of a dagger to the side, and pulled an extra from his boot and igniting it with the lighter in his pocket. The flames danced around the blade before expanding outwards making a fiery short sword. Zaid stood and was being bombarded with with bullets. In one quick movement, Zaid slashed his sword sending a wave of fire to two men setting them ablaze. Their screams rang out through the street.

Jet-Kyo	((gosh im stupid. keep forgetting to say things: the only cars in the city are like cable cars. there is only public transportation. so just keep that in mind. also I’ll post when I get home from work unless america hasn’t posted yet.))

Jet-Kyo	—-Torey—- Snapping his fingers, clapping, anything. He just needed a light! He could hear the tank treads busting up the street only twenty feet away at best. “C’mon, c’mon!!” He felt a jolt in the back of his mind, his eyes twitching. His fingers twitched and a sadistic smile crept across his face, “That’s what I’m talking about.” Torey whipped out of the alleyway, turning to the tank. He knew they could see him, and the group was only a block away. “HEY!” he screamed, and the barrel moved, closing in on him –Or that’s what the military thought. Torey heated up the air around him, channeling it threw his right arm. He threw it forward, and with a booming SWOOSH the fire crashed threw the air and down the barrel of the Tank, crashing in and around it. The tank exploded, flying a foot or so in the air. Torey laughed, “YES! I may not be a master of this, but I can still take out a tank!” He saw someone standing on a building near the tank, holding a pistol and a much larger gun. Torey darted into the building as he took aim, “Crap..”
January 30, 2012 at 10:31 pm #46149
Kiar	Perhaps intentionally falling behind enemy lines was not the best idea she’d had. Bat had felled six more soldiers before she’d been forced to vacate the building. Since then she’d been jumping from rooftop to rooftop, taking kills where she could. She was running out of throwing blades. It was about damn time for her to man-up and start using a gun. An explosion several blocks away illuminated the night sky, and caused Bat to shield her eyes. She had to pause momentarily to let her vision fade back to normal. Who had done that? Most likely Zaid or Isabel. An explosion like that – someone may need her help. Regardless, she swung down the nearest drainpipe and landed on the ground in a cat-like stance. Bat took off in the direction of the dissipating heat-cloud that, to her eyes, still hung warm in the night air. OOC: Are Torey and Nash part of Thorns, or are they just running from the military? Do we know them already? (I assume all of the Thorns members know each other.)
January 30, 2012 at 11:14 pm #46181
Jet-Kyo	((All the thorn members know each other, Nash is the Thorn’s leader and Torey is also a Thorn member. It would make sense if you didn’t know about all of Torey’s powers though, so you don’t have to edit your post. I’ll make a post for Nash later))
January 31, 2012 at 2:18 am #46359
Moose	Zaid turned towards the sudden wave of heat. That sure was not him. He didn’t really know any other Pyromancers in the Thorns with the somewhat exception to Isabel. Zaid walked towards the heat being met by a few enemies who he dispatched with ease. Whoever it was had to be quite powerful, the heat still radiated in the air. Two men ran out of an alley, with guns in their hands. Catching sight of Zaid they raised their guns. Zaid sighed and shot forward slicing at one, killing him instantly. He advanced on the other own who trembled and dropped his gun before taking off.
January 31, 2012 at 2:21 am #46362
Captain Mollyanne Sunshine	Isabel pulled a pistol from her belt, and stepped from her cover, still staying as hidden as possible. She slunk down the ladder, and landed on the ground, looking out into the street, but still in the shadows. This reply was modified 113 days ago by Captain Mollyanne Sunshine.

Jet-Kyo	—-Nash—– Nash picked up a fallen soldiers head set, clicking to a specific channel. “Zada… Zada do you hear me? It’s Nash. Did you make that explosion? And have you seen Torey anywhere? I lost him! stupid kid always runs out at the worst times!” he clicked the button, “Well if you can here this, meet at the abandoned hotel, across the lines.” Nash dodged threw a building, loosing the few people still chasing him. He almost ran into Bat as he darted out a window, “Gah! Bat! good! c’mon, we gotta find Torey. Then we’ll all meet at the abandoned hotel, pass it on.” he said, putting a hand on her shoulder. She was relatively knew, as was Isabel, but she was accepted and trusted by Nash. That wasn’t an easy thing to do. —-Torey—- Torey was snapping fire blasts threw the windows at his assailant, seemingly to no avail. The guy seemed to be a crack shot and impossible to hit. Torey grew frustrated, how much time did he have? When would he get his next powers. He grew anxious and started grinding his teeth. ((EDIT: you can’t kill him… lol that’s Blake…)) This reply was modified 113 days ago by Jet-Kyo.
January 31, 2012 at 2:37 am #46384
America	“You have an idea where Torey is?” Jarred furrowing his brow before his legs changed shape under his pants, and his arms became more muscular with faint fur growing over it, he let his claws slid out, “I could try and sniff him out…”
January 31, 2012 at 3:07 am #46400
Grace U.	Alice looked about, there he was. Jay pawed over lightly to her licking her hand. ‘Can you find the boss for me?’ she thought to her mutant. Jay gave a reassuring barrack that end in more of a crowing sound. He traded away nose to the ground leading her in the direction of Nash. A few minuets latter she caught sight of Nash. Jay was already sprinting towards the man give a loud love felled caw.
January 31, 2012 at 3:21 am #46415
Kiar	OOC: “give a loud love felled caw” …uh… what? “Got it, Boss,” Bat said, dashing away. As she appeared at the scene of the explosion, she saw other Thorns had been drawn to it, too. “Find Torey, then get to the abandoned hotel,” she told them, before moving on to others. As she ran, she picked up several daggers that had lost their masters, and redistributed them back among the enemies. Damn, where had that kid gone?
January 31, 2012 at 3:30 am #46427
Moose	Zaid lazily strode around, looking for Torey, letting the receding warm atmosphere calm him. He put out the fire of his dagger not wanting to expend his energy. He did not need to pass out from exhausting himself.
January 31, 2012 at 4:26 am #46487
Blake Haughton	Allen watched the carnage from atop his perch. Torey loved to get attention. Allen watched through his scope, seeing a few soldiers trying to sneak up on him- already stupid, but Allen was tired of playing it quiet- he needed to do something. He fired, shooting all of the three soldiers in the left shoulder- his trademark, which Torey would recognize. Being a guardian angel was very exciting.
January 31, 2012 at 4:37 pm #46571
Jet-Kyo	—-Torey—- Torey was happy to see the soldiers fall and let out a sigh of relief. He could tell he still had some power left and he darted out of the building. The assailant and three others were dead, shot in the let shoulder. Allen. “Whoo!” Torey shouted, just before noticing everyone show up from different alleys. Isabelle came out from around the corner, “Before you slap me, I’m totally ok.” he laughed. After a moment of looking around, “Where’s Nash? Wasn’t he with you guys?” —-Nash—- “I’m sure you’ll find him faster then I could. Go get him and bring everyone back to the hotel,” Nash said before darting off. He ran for a bit when he noticed Jay charging him. He laughed, “Down boy, down!” he pet him for a minute as Alice chased after him, “Go find Torey and the others, meet by the hotel alright?” Once again, Nash was gone. Staying in the alleys and avoiding the enemy gang patrols, he was silent as he could be. He knew the military never would crack down on other gangs as much as the Thorns. “We cause the most trouble and (unfortunately) we kill the most government troops…” he thought to himself. He slipped threw a window and began to make his way to the middle floor, suit 18. This reply was modified 112 days ago by Jet-Kyo. This reply was modified 112 days ago by Jet-Kyo.

January 31, 2012 at 11:53 pm #46847
Captain Mollyanne Sunshine	Isabelle laughed. “Slap you? That’s not my job. But be careful, I hear Nash is pissed. But I haven’t seen him for a while. I just know he’s looking for you. I believe we’re supposed to meet at the hotel.” She shrugged. “Shall we proceed?”
February 1, 2012 at 12:26 am #46887
Moose	Zaid appeared by Torey. “Found him,” he said plainly before noticing Isabelle. “Nevermind, the pretty one got’s it.” Zaid slid the dagger back into its sheath in his boot. “I guess that means back to the hotel,” Zaid turned towards the direction of the hotel put his hands into his pockets.
February 1, 2012 at 12:48 am #46905
Jet-Kyo	((sorry Grace, misread. I’ll edit. also, Sunshine, i can’t read part of your post don’t know what Nash is cuz you probably swore lol the stupid parental block on my fams computer makes it “@#!*%” instead of w/e)) Torey laughed, “Really?” but she continued saying he was no where to be found, “We can never stay in the same place to long huh?” He waved them forward as he started walking, and Zaid showed up. He didn’t even bother questioning what caused the explosion, but that was ok. As far as most of them knew, Torey’s only power was speed. Which actually wasn’t even one of his five. “Alright..” he said as they all began to run. They almost passed Alice, “You found me!” he called out, jokingly. Soon enough, they were standing in front of the huge run-down hotel. For some reason, even though it was abandoned, the city never took it down. But Torey was glad, as it had served as his home.

Grace U.	( Strang cues I didn’t swear that I know of, ohh what ever it’s fine thank you for change your post to included me!) Alice and Jay sprinted after the group of Thorns, chuckling quietly at Torey’s comment. She smiled seeing the run-down hotel or what she liked to call home. “Home, sweet home.” She said quietly leaning agents the cold stone of the hotel resting from all her running.
February 1, 2012 at 2:25 am #46988
Kiar	Bat rounded the corner to see the group had already found Torey, and were herding him to the abandoned hotel. Bat took it upon herself to kill and soldiers that were following too closely, and might track the group to their makeshift hideout. She was the last to dart into the hotel doors.
February 1, 2012 at 3:30 am #47053
Captain Mollyanne Sunshine	OOC: Seriously? Pissed is a swear? It’s just p-i-s-s-e-d… wow. Isabelle grinned at Zaid, then grinned at Torey. “Home sweet hotel…”
February 1, 2012 at 3:38 am #47060
Moose	“Indeed,” Zaid said to Isabelle. His gash on his back stung but he ignored and walked to Suite 18 to report to the boss.
February 1, 2012 at 3:03 pm #47237
Kiar	Bat entered the room. The others were situated across the suite, waiting for things to settle down so the Boss would tell them what was up. Bat grabbed the nearest chair and flipped it around, perching on the seat while letting her elbows fall over the back of the chair. She rested her chin on her hands, and waited. The rata tat tat of gunfire could still be heard, but it seemed more distant now.
February 1, 2012 at 7:10 pm #47328
Jet-Kyo	—-Torey—- Torey pushed the door open to suit 18. It was a smart room, only one window. Not like anyone else knew they were there. He didn’t see Allen anywhere, which was fine since he usually is not seen and they relay messages to him, but still. With all the military everywhere.. Torey pushed the thought away, pulling up a swivel chair and sitting in it backwards, looking to Nash. —-Nash—- Nash stood facing out the only window in the suit as everyone got situated. He couldn’t help but feel something was wrong. It had been bothering him since before the raid that morning and continued during the quiet of the day before the military caught up with them. His tattoo of the rose peeking off the back of his neck out of his jacket. He wiped the look of unhappyness from his face before turning on a heel and bowing to everyone, “Welcome back! It’s good to see you all again!” he laughed, then cleared his throat. “Now. You all know I’ve been wanting to talk about something Important. You all agree, something about how the government works is not right. The psyons lead, and the rest get either different jobs or are assigned to a military position. So.. Why does that bother us so much? Or for that matter, why doesn’t it bother other people?” he paused, “Does anyone know the real reason that I left the government?”
February 1, 2012 at 8:52 pm #47369
Blake Haughton	Allen leaned back, satisfied with his work. The Thorns were supposed to be having a meeting, but if anything important happened, he knew Torey or Nash would let him know. Being the ‘eyes’ of the group, he had to watch for enemies anyway. Besides, the time wasn’t right- he hadn’t been ordered to move yet.
February 1, 2012 at 11:13 pm #47454
Grace U.	Alice sat crosslagged on the floor Jay’s head in her lap. She watched Nash with cruise violet eyes. He had never really told them much about himself, and now he might. “No.” She said simply for the group as she scratched behind Jay long light blue ear.

Jet-Kyo	Nash nodded, “As you know, I’m a psyon. I was trained to be a leader from the age of 5, and witnessed alot of testing on human subjects. I was not a witness to the event that created the dead lands, I’m too young, but I did witness one thing that made my stomach churn,” he rubbed his forehead, “Torey. I’ve never told you this either. They took Torey from somewhere, I don’t know where. But he was born powerless, and they didn’t want word getting out of someone like that. Everyone has powers!” he threw his hands in the air, mocking them, “Turns out, Torey had powers. Over the course of about 11 years, he was studied. I was there with him since he was about 9. In a controlled environment they came up with life situations that would test him, and they probed his mind as he slept. I couldn’t take it, so I broke him out.” Torey shook, disgusted at the “home” he used to have, unsure of what to think about anything from his child hood. He was a subject, not a son of the man he knew.. Nash had paused to look at their faces before continuing, “Then there are all the laws and curfews, and not being aloud to use powers in the presence of a psyon!? What kind of Bull are they trying to feed us!? But that’s not even the most of it. I think there is someone higher up then the Psyons. I don’t know who.. or what.. but something is up. Something isn’t right..”

Blake Haughton	Allen climbed in through the window from his perch. “What’s not right Nash?” Allen walked over, giving Torey a pat on the back, “You almost got smoked out there you know?”

Kiar	Powers, Nash had said. More than one. Bat looked curiously in the direction of Torey, wondering what else he could do. In fact, now that she thought about it, she had never seen Torey use his super-speed. She was beginning to wonder what else was true or false about Thorns. “Look, Nash, I like you,” Bat spoke up. “I wouldn’t have joined Thorns if I didn’t. But I also trust you, and I expect you to trust me back.” She didn’t appreciate being lied to by her own Gang Leader. That was what had gotten the leader of her last gang killed. By her.

Jet-Kyo	“Almost. Key word..” Torey said quietly. Nash nodded at Allen before turning to Bat. “I understand that, Bat,” he said sternly, “But due to my circumstance of being a former government official, a matter of secrecy is needed until I know it’s safe to even tell anyone about it.” Torey stared at the floor, “I’m with Bat on this one. What the h#ll?! I mean, I knew you were psychic and everything, but has my entire life been a game? or a test!?” he didn’t raise his voice, but the shakiness and shock in his voice was prominent. “See. This is exactly what I’m talking about. I’m sorry.. Your right, I shouldn’t have hid anything from you. And I’m sorry I’m bringing it up so suddenly, but I feel like I’m being watched. For a while now, I’ve sensed someone that is staying just under my radar.. So i needed to tell you now. i was going to tell you, just not yet. At a.. a more opportune moment…” he paused, and put a hand up as some of the group began to speak again, “Do you all know what the history books say about the dead lands? How it happened?”

Captain Mollyanne Sunshine	Isabelle stared at Nash, frowning with big eyes. She felt sorry for Torey, she really did. But she couldn’t think of anything but Diego. Maybe he had been taken to a facility like that too. Maybe if she stuck with Nash, she could find him. “The lies are behind us. If Nash says that that’s all, I trust him.” She looked deep into his eyes. “But please, that IS all of it, right? You’re not hiding anything else?” Her naivety and blind trust was endearing, but dangerous to her and everyone around.

Kiar	Bat frowned at Nash’s response. She had already gone on a dozen missions for him. Risked her life for their gang. She had the Thorns tattoo on her back, for crying out loud. And now he was telling the truth only because he had to. It was hard to hide her irritation. But Bat was still curious, and willing to play along. “The Dead Lands? I thought the state Psyons stopped some terrorists from destroying Sarosh.”

Jet-Kyo	Nash frowned at Isabelle. And he could tell Bat was irritated, she had the right to be, “That’s only kind of what happened. One person, someone with Nuclear power – which you all know is rare. He figured out what was wrong with the government, suspected the same things as I did. He tried to destroy Sarosh because it’s where the Psyons live. The psyons thought they were containing the explosion, but he put up a safe zone and blew up everything else. If he couldn’t destory the psyons, he’d let the world do it.” He paused again, “I know you’ve all risked your lives for me and the gang many times… and you all deserve to know it goes beyond the unfairness that the government has shoved down your throats. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust any of you.. I just don’t thinks its a safe piece of knowledge.” he leaned against the wall. They had a right to hate him right now, or feel used. He was becoming the thing he tried to escape, so he had to tell them now.

Captain Mollyanne Sunshine	Isabelle sighed. “As I said, i trust you Nash. Don’t make me regret that.” She bit her lip, her big eyes blinking at him. “Also… I’ve been wondering…. Have you ever met a boy named Diego?”
February 4, 2012 at 1:56 am #48573
Jet-Kyo	((wow. really? no one?)) Nash sighed, “Yes. I’ve met a Diego. He was in one of the psychic encampments a month before you joined the gang. Me and Torey got him out, along with a group of people. He seemed to be leading them, I don’t know what happened after that.” ((I can’t do what I want until i know the others are on…))

America	“That nuke dude was kind of an asshole…” Jarred yawned, “He could’ve come up with a better plan than that…”
