Sorry for not posting lately, I need to reread as I'm a bit confused. Post in a bit.

"The obvious option is to stay together." Markus said.
"Ummmm....these guys will notice somebody is different. Shouldn't we just let them kill themselves? You know, wait it out? Stakeout?" Jack asked.
Everyone just went silent.
"This isn't exactly horror, you know? More of a...war slash drama. We should split up, at least, if none of you have ideas..." Jack added.
Silence.

"I'll take that as a no, I guess...."

Sorry for the shortness, really bored... zzzz....just got over strep throat...

Sorry...must....post!

Von/The Devil:

"I have to admitt...I agree with Jack on this one."

Then again it was MY idea...I was sort of happy to get at least one other to agree with me, but the rest were undecided. My stomache rumbled...I needed some solid food, I mean why go without when you don't have to? I sort of wandered off to the side as the others began to argue. Down the hall I went a left, then a right, I found a dead soldier with a pack...I picked it up and began rummiging theough it's contents, sticking a piece of bread in my mouth and throwing stuff out along the way as I made my way back.

"Hey! Where the hell did you go to?"

I looked up to see everyone now looking at me.

"Where did you get that?!"

Someone poointed to the hals eaten bread still dangaling from my mouth as I found some water and started to open it...

"I took a left then a..."

"Someone could have seen you!"

"You could get us all killed!"

"Your not think clearley!"

"Stop being so childish!"

"Geesh..."

I turned and sat with my back to them...giving off a long and frustrated sigh.

"listen, they've already been down this way and are probably now on the other side of the castle...besides no one saw me and the guy who I "borrowed from" won't be needing it back anytime soon."

[Mire]

When I said "in a bit," bit was relative. I used it in the largest possible sense of the word tidbit. My apologies for posting days letter instead of hours.

I chortled a little and everyone looked, "Do I need to apologize for not being colder?" I asked rhetorically.

"It isn't some huge grievance that Von here left a trail of bread crumbs, I mean really... better the guardian or someone come to us than we sit here." This was met with slight mutual agreement, "a stakeout isn't going to get us anywhere much, and inside the castle the war isn't intense as long as we stay off the parapet. I propose we simply look for the throne room."

Before he could stop himself, Jack couldn't help blurting out, "What in the hell does the throne room have to do with?"

"If I could continue," I plowed being oblivious to him, "doesn't it make sense to all of you that the guardian is likely leader of one faction here? He certainly isn't on our side and either are those all those soldiers, so if they are our enemy then who is to say said guardian couldn't be king or something? Maybe the whole war is some kind of uprising or such, I mean back in my home country rebellion against monarchy was common, subtle or not. If that doesn't work we can split up, but not into duos. Split up as in threes."

The plan was met with titters, and I began to wonder if we would find the person or thing we were meant to slay before it did us.

Markus/Death

I shrugged, "Let's go get this thing over with then. Everu's right, we should go look for some throne room or whatever."

So we headed off in search of the one we were going to take out. There were loads of corridors and twists and turns, a guy could get lost in a place like this real easy. We'd stuck in a group for now, just incase we did actually stumble across the throne room.

"Markus..."

I stopped, blinking. That had sounded like...no it couldn't be. I backed up to the last turn point and almost fainted. "Kara..?" She was stood there, clear as day. My brain screamed at me, she's dead, she's dead but she was right there! I watched her disappearing down a seperate corridor.

"You okay?" Everyone was staring at me.

"I..." she was getting away. "I gotta catch her!" and I legged it down the corridor.

"Hey! Come back!" they were calling after me but I didn't care, they didn't know what this was to me. I had to fix things, I had to make amends with her, she had to know why I did it...

I chased her down corridor after corridor, turn after turn, then she just disappeared in this large empty room. "W-wait! Come back!" Tyr suddenly felt so much heavier against my back and I dropped to my knees. "I'm so sorry...I wish you were here now but I had to do it, they begged me to do it. You were so sick...you all were, all because of that stupid war. I hate it. I hate that I'm here and you're not!" My head was filled with flashes from the past, the things I had done, I had...I had...

I heard the others coming after me. I stood up and composed myself quickly. "They can never know..."

= Everu =

Upon finding Death I could see there was something under that calm look in his eyes. Death was even more death than he let on was he?

Jack strode a bit away from the pack before announcing with bravado, "I know Everu's idea for finding the throne room is all well in good but what if his theory is incorrect. Do we really know how much time we have? I say we split now!" Leave it to the grandous one to sway everybody from grouping.

Before I knew it everyone was breaking off into threes and walking in different directions. Soon it was just Death standing trying to look composed from whatever demons were in his head, myself, and Von. What a cheerful company.

Lemme think, who's in each group of three?
I know anyone hasn't posted in a while, but I think we should have another one of the "updates" from Tainted so we don't have to argue over who's with who and such...

To be completely honest with you, there aren't enough people active to continue this RPG. Less people would've been fine near the end-- but at this point there are only five active people, which just isn't enough.

Sorry, I didn't want to have to do this (that's why I was slacking on the update, I was waiting for others to post), but I'm going to have to put the last nail in this coffin.

Was fun while it lasted, guys, maybe I'll do it another time.

Adieu,

Von:

The horror! I could not believe what had happened!

"How, When, Why?!"

I fell to my knees in a fit of violent rage!

"NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! "

I sat there silently...in the endless darkness...crying my crimson tears...

GAME OVER
Sorry I want to be dramatic...well this sucks, oh well, I hope to play again with you sometime...thanks Tainted for taking me and Von in and i'm sorry this didn't work out as well as it should have...I thank everyone for putting up with me and Von and to all I bid...

Adieu Tainted...Adieu...

[Mire]

The woe! Your idea was one with a ton of originality too... sad to see it go down this way. Well, I hope you try again another day.
