Shattered Minds: Smiles of the Dead
<i>It would be a few weeks until the news would feature another story of disappearances. It would be on the local news. Reports of a graveyard with strange happenings and the disappearance of several of its grave keepers. At first, this wasn't made public knowledge but the frequency of gravekeepers vanishing from the grounds became more and more frequent. It was with the disappearance of the 11th that the city took action. It was obvious that they needed to seek help from outside sources. And so a reward had been offered for anyone who could find the missing grave keepers. Of course, not everyone may be investigating for that reason. Perhaps some remember the words of a strange man. Regardless, the graveyard would stretch out in front of you. A large field with a old iron gate surroundings its perimeter. There wouldn't be too much of immediate note. A few graves looks slightly more rustled than normal. There was a small shed near the back of the cemetery as well. Finally, there was a stone structure in the middle of the graveyard. A mausoleum of sorts with an old door made from iron and wood.</i>
Shattered Minds: An Empty Hello
<i>When the rumors started nobody remembers. The only thing that could be remembered was what they entailed and how simple gossip soon would become a legend among students. As it went a once popular student one day disappeared after seemingly losing their mind the day before. It was said that they had been dared to go into the school the night before but most don't even recall exactly what it was they were doing there. Since that day though many individuals who pass the school ground at night report hearing a heavy breathing that seemed to come from within the building itself and occasionally inhuman screams that are assumed to be the cause of some stray animal the wandered within. An exterminator was sent to take care of it and an exterminator soon disappeared within the building as well. These incidents have led to the principal calling on anyone with 'experience' to come and investigate the cause behind it all. The principal stood outside of the school, feeling stupid for expecting help to arrive so easily but still holding onto some hope for a swift resolution to these events.</i>
Shattered Minds: Smiles of the Dead
<i>The teeth that blocked their escape would begin to crack and break. It doesn't seem intent on breaking quite yet but then the hammer would suddenly start moving on it's own. The jaw on it would open up widely and bite into the wall, breaking the teeth apart as it began to devour chunks of it at a time. However, by the time they were finally able to pass through the gate, all at once, the cave they were in would collapse. It would be impossible for anyone to survive with several meters of dirt and rock suddenly piling onto them... However, each member of the group would find themselves still breathing. There seemed to be something holding back the collapsing rock, something akin to a spectral field of red surrounding each of them. Most of the ground seemed to pass right over them until they reached the surface once more. The graveyard was now a mess. Most of the grass had turned brown and decayed and the ground itself was a crater compared to what it once was. Of course, there were zero dead bodies, most likely the result of the monster from before. Standing at the top of the crater, staring down at the group, was a man in white who would be familiar to some of the group.</i> &quot;Well done, all of you. That was just the performance I expected. It seems you all really are something special. Of course, if you failed that simple trial I'd have to assume you all as brain dead.&quot; <i>The man would clap softly, holding a strange looking gun in one of his hands.</i> &quot;So, it's time for a gift from yours truly, for the future of out partnership. Since you all did so well I'll give you a choice. Should once of you receive a big gift or would you all like something? Evolution for one or should I test all of your potential?&quot;
Shattered Minds: Smiles of the Dead
<i>The man seemed to turn a dial on the back of the strange gun impatiently.</i> &quot;You want information? That's not how this all works unfortunately. You all could've bowed out way earlier if it was. Regardless of what you all do people will continue to die to these...'abnormalities'. If you want to know more then I'll need some insurance from you all. If you all were to take the reward then I'd be willing to give you the information you desire.&quot; <i>The man would look at Akia with a smile.</i> &quot;Or you can let her take choice A. Of course she'll be the only one to gain understanding. In all honesty, if you did simply try to leave without taking a reward I was just going to kill you all anyway. Can't be too careful now that you've all seen as much as you have.&quot;

<i>The man would jump down to where the rest of the group was. He seemed somewhat disappointed but also seemed almost excited at the same time. Suddenly, light seemed to gether in his hand, possessing a deep red hue. Without any warning his body would move forward inhumanly fast towards Akia. He'd plunge that light directly into her, passing through her skin. He'd take a step back suddenly forming a maddening smile across his face.</i> &quot;I am Adam, the father of the new world that's to come. Until next time we meet, my faithful follower.&quot; <i>Without much warning the man would be gone disappearing from space as suddenly as he appeared. Meanwhile, Akia would find that something within her was starting to become... Overbearing. Her skin would suddenly feel like nothing more than a container holding something back that rested deep inside of her. <b>Seed of Light Germination: -100%</b> Something was coming, something that very well could pose more of a threat to the rest of the group then even the monster before. However, what that threat truly was would be based on Akia herself.</i>
It is nearly midnight and I drank several energy drinks
I'll give out a hint. I've been on this site since April of last year.
It is nearly midnight and I drank several energy drinks
How did you even know that Light? Have you been paying more attention to my activities than I realized?
It is nearly midnight and I drank several energy drinks
I never really meant to hide this account anyway. I was just having some fun with the secrecy.
Fate's Hand
<i>Roland would look around surprised for a moment. Of course, his surprise was only shown by his expression as he still seemed calm otherwise. He would take a look around the area before approaching Constantium.</i> &quot;Well, you seem to be the one in charge here so may I ask what exactly is going on? From the sound of it, it would seem we're not the first ones brought here. So why go to all this trouble to bring people here anyway? I'm guessing you need them for something.&quot; <i>A place like this almost made him nostalgic. It reminded him of Broadleaf's Treehouse with its many dials and gears. He was taken back to that time for a moment remembering the rogue machines that he and his friends had fought before. Coming back to reality he'd simply cross his arms waiting for an answer. He showed no signs of impatience. If anything his expression was unusually composed given the odd circumstances.</i>
Fate's Hand
<i>The talk of gods and time left Roland feeling like perhaps he's entered something a little more complicated than his usual adventure but he's already realized at this point that he can't back down with what he's heard.</i> &quot;So, essentially you're sending people to deal with issues that affect people. I like it, I'm always one to deal with problems head first and I don't mean just bashing my head into it either. Not too sure about all this God and time related business though I think I've met a few beings that are pretty close to gods. They were at least worshipped by the people they protected. God is more a title than anything after all. Anyway, back to the issue at hand, as I said before I'd be happy to give a hand but I have to ask just as a precaution exactly what it is I should prepare for, if you know that is. I'd also have to ask if you have any equipment that might be useful for solving this issue. Anything at all could help but if not then I'll just have to rely on what little tools I have on hand.&quot;
4/20 Day is Soon
The true question still lingers, who will be the king of dank?
4/20 Day is Soon
I am in agreement with Evan. Let the memes be free of fighting!
