random-ness

[dreamer]

(ooc: I feel like being semi-random and I need to satify my rp cravings, as well as toy/play with Raven and try out this flight thing. )

Raven stood on top of the tower, her bare feet gripping the metal ralings as she stared at the skyline. Her eyes were unfocused and blind to the world around her. She let her other senses work for her, sighing, she took a deep breath of the semi-murky air. As her ears were listening to the music of the city, there was constructiong going on near by, the jackhammers pounding a steady tempo. The sharp stacco of car horns piercing the air, in an irregular beat. As the steady pulse of feet tapping on the ground, the company beat of car or building doors closing, and the constant hum of voices.

It was music that was missed by most of the people below, but it was as familiar as the sky to Raven. She blinked, finally letting her eyes focus on the blue and cream-white sky above her. There was a faint drone of a plane flying nearby by headed for its hidden destination. The bells in the cathedral rang the time, the bells clamouring for all to hear. Scattering the birds from their roosts and perches, Raven grinned in amusement, it got them every time, no matter how many times a day it happened.

Settling back to her normal mood, all traces of that grin now gone, she stood, stretching all her muscles and flexing her wings. Taking a deep breath she kicked off backwards from the tower, she waited till she face headed straight down before opening her wings in a sudden fluid motion. She glided in to alley all the while lowering herself to the ground gracefully, she was low enough now, that she just tuck out her foot an practically stepped down out of the air. As soon as both feet were on the ground, Raven wrapped her wings around herself protectively covering the tight clothed body, like a cloak. She walked down the alley, the turned at the corner into another alleyway, this one slightly more busy than the last.

Dirk walked down the the hall of his work. He had a simple job, filing papers. It was easy enough, and it payed well. He was wearing a long trenchcoat, brown. It flapped around his ankles as he walked. He never took off his trenccoat inside, it was his identity at work, when he took it off he was a whole new person. He stepped into an elevator and watched as the doors closed in front of him. He waited for a couple of seconds whistling to the Music. He heard a quiet "Ding!", and he stepped out. He walked past the receptoin desk and through the rotating doors outside. His house was four blocks away to the left, but he instead turned right. He turned right again and into an alleyway. It was darker here, and there was less chance of seeing him. He hid behind a dumpster as he took off his trenchcoat. His wings unfurled as he lifted himself into the sky, gliding toward his house. His black speckled wings flapped as he felt the rush of air against his face. It felt good to be in the air again. He flew farther, to his apartment building, and landed on the roof. He walked to the edge of the building and swung his legs up over the ledge and sat there, merging with the world, relaxing. Life was grand.

(OOC:This is my first time RPing, so go easy on me!)

[Felicity]

Felicity was sitting in seventh period math. Her last class of the day. She glanced at the clock hanging above the door to her left. "Ten seconds left," she thought. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."Yay" the young girl thought. She was thirteen, although she looked older, more around fifteen.

"Merry Christmas," called Mr. Clattz, her math teacher, as they walked out the door and into the hallway. Felicity quickly grabbed her things out of her locker and bid her friends a Merry Christmas.

She walked down the hallway to the entrance, where she pushed the big glass doors aside.She street was to crowded to walk through today, so she darted into a vacant alleyway and unfurled her wings and took off into the sky.

"How lovely it is up here," she thought. How the girl loved the adrenaline rushing through her veins. To home she flew for the holidays.

[Tak]

A whirring from above snapped Dirk out of his daze. A medium-sized news helicopter was hanging in the air, supported only by the balanced thwapping of blades.

A wave of panic crashed his breath from his body. He had his wings out. The raven-black feathers gleamed in the light of the blood red sunset.

With a bound Dirk pushed his legs against the building, propelling himself at the dark form of the helicopter. The news channel's name was lost in the glare, but Dirk could still see the stout form of a cameraman hidden in the shadow. Wings twirling around him as he spun toward the helicopter, faster and faster, until he stopped at the opening between the wind shield and the back of the helicopter.

A swift kick brought the cameraman to his knees. "Give me the film." Dirk tryed to muster up a commanding voice.

[Felicity]

(OOC: We need a name for what we are. I think we should be called Hybirds. Okay?)

Felicity saw another hybird in the sky. Not wanting to get involved in the mess, she stayed a good distance away. She watched the hybird and helicopter.'Please don't let us be seen by everyone' she thought. She ducked into a tree and waited for the helicopter to go away.

[Tak]

The man was on the floor cowering in front of Dirk. A mad gleam in his eyes prompted the cameraman to rush a shaky hand to the film compartment in his camera. With a quiver, he flipped it open and pulled out a stark black roll of film.

"Tell anyone about any of this, and I will personally hunt you down." Dirk grabbed up the film canister with a flourish, and then pointed the the pilot, who was struggling to stay in control of the helicopter in fear. "Same goes for you."

A quick jump launched Dirk back into the air. The wind rushed to meet him, like one of those sappy running to your missing lover scenes in so many movies he'd seen recently. Scanning the horizon, Dirk checked to see if anymore helicopters were around. Instead of finding a blig black helicopter, he found a young girl that looked about fifteen ducking into a tree.

A tree. Normal teenagers couldn't duck into trees. They ducked into bushes.

Dirk glided over quietly, the wind whistling softly in his ears, to get a closer look.

[Felicity]

Felicity stayed quietly in the tree. Suddenly she felt another hybird by her. She wonder who he was. She cowered slightly. After seeing him hurt that man, she didn't want him to hurt her. She wanted to take off.To get away from this man,but her curosity was too strong.

"Hello" she said "Who are you?"

[Tak]

A meek little voice made it's way throught the leaves and branches. Surprised, Dirk leaned over in the air to get a clear image of the girl in the tree. She had wings.

"Umm... well, I'm Dirk."

The girl didn't look very comfortable with him hovering there, so with a little sigh of pity, he slid his hand down to her and brought her to a shaky stand on a branch.

"I had no idea there were other people like me... What exactly is your name?"

[Felicity]

Felicity stood shakily on the branch, never having done it before.She looked at the man. It didn't seem that he would harm her, so she accepted the offered hand.After finding her balance, she let go of the it.

"Hi Dirk,I'm Felicity. Yes, there are other people like us. They're called Hybirds." Felicity said.

((OOC: I hope no one minds if I bring some conflict into the story))

Sarushen was at his end, he had enough with humans. He could feel his anger rising, his demon side thriving and pushing toward the surface, attempting to claw its way out of him. There was nothing more he could do, the man had no self restraint anymore, it was exhausted. For too long he had kept this side of him at bay, tailoring to his angelic side instead. Sarushen dropped to the ground, hunched over screaming in pain as his body changed.

Horns began to tear through the flesh on his for head, his teeth elongated and sharpened drawing blood when he bit down on his lip to try and muffle the screams of agony. His skin thickened and took on a darker tint, making the runes carved into his body only the more menacing, his muscles bulged, his eyes took on a demonic red glow. The man's feet began to agonizingly turn into hooves, and finally the flesh on his back was rent by two rather large bat like wings.

The man remained in his hunched over position, with his head resting on the floor of his apartment breathing heavily as the transformation was over. A few moments after the transformation finished a sadistic laugh bellowed forth from the demon's mouth before he launched himself out of his window. The inhuman speed at which he flew caused any who caught a glimpse of him to pass the sight off as nothing more than their eyes playing tricks on them.

No particular quarry caught the demon's eye, save for the winged humanoid that darted into a tree. What was even better, the demon thought to himself, was that another soon joined it. A sadistic smile was etched across Sarushen's face as the hunt began. The demon flew over the tree in which his prey sat, and dropped down onto the very branch the female was sitting on. The action wouldn't cause the branch to snap, nor move at all despite his size.

[Felicity]

Felicity looks over at the thing that just landed on the branch. Her calm hazel eyes turned a wild green. She glared at the creature, it having no business here.

"Who and what are you?" she demanded. She felt an evil aura from the creature. It was going to hurt her, she knew that much. But still she stayed there, standing her ground. She looked over at Dirk to see what he would do.

The sun became blotted out by a stray shift of clouds. No sooner did the sun become blotted out did a whisp of smoke like shadow came into being from nothing, taking form into a humaniod form covered in black dirty clothes that over a body that displayed shadows all around his body. Soon after, the sunlight returned, though the shadow remained, taking on a more substantial form.

Hhhhmmm.... what world is this? I guess it doesn't matter..... The shadow's head looked around, getting a good look of its surroundings. My, this place has great spires. This place must look fantastic in the dead of night.... Oh well... Now to wait for orders.... Usually, his master would tell him, though it seemed to be more random. It could happen at once or a week later. After a few minutes, the shadow decided to explore the world around him. As he 'stepped' out of the alley, he caught sight of a girl not too far in the park, near a tree. Why not, maybe that child could give me a bit of information about my current where abouts. Without another thought, he strode toward the girl that looked about 15.

OOC: Is that better?
