Roleplay may Begin

Cleo looked up at the town hall as they got to it, she had walked by the large building many times but never once set foot inside. She was curious about what could be inside.

Lyra pushed the door to the Town Hall open as she ushered for Cleo to follow. The building's hall was clean and looked normal. Most of the lights were off, besides the ones up the stairs on the second level. "Up here." Lyra said. I'm living up there."

Cleo looked around amazed by the building, despite the fact to anyone else it seemed to be a normal place. "This place is nice" Cleo said as she followed Lyra.

"You can say that again." Lyra said, starting her way up the stairs. "Upstairs is where I crash. Nothin' special."

"I like it" Cleo said as she walked up the stairs close behind the lighter skinned girl. Her house was nothing like this, it was small and messy, but this place was neat. Cleo enjoyed the clean, friendly atmosphere she got from the building.

As they approached the building's second story, the place was more neat upstairs the downstairs. Three rooms, one the office, the closet, and a lounge. Lyra opened the door the office, which the room was a little messy. The desk and large leather chair were in the middle of the room. A few backpacks, a mountain of blankets and pillows were sprawled in a corner, and the rest of the room was scattered with belongings.

"I was going to pick up later today, but never got around it." Lyra admits.

"I could clean up for you, I did it for Mama and Papa" Cleo suggested, with a shrug. She sometimes liked to clean, it was a simple task that kept her busy.

"No, it's fine." Lyra said. "People have better things to do now this 'thing' is over our heads."

It was true, the weird dome thingy was cutting them off from the outside world.

Cleo shrugged "If you want me to clean up, just tell me. Don't worry though I will keep anything I have neat and tidy and I'll stay out of your way" Cleo said, not wanting to cause an difficulties for the elder female.

"Cleo, your being to kind." Lyra said, turning to Cleo. "Right now you need to settle in. Let's go find a vacant room on this level."

Cleo left the room that Lyra had put her stuff in, before going in search of an empty room to call her own. She found a small room, that looked like it might have been a library at one point "This room please" She said.

Lyra looked into the room, noting that it was the town archive room. Lyra nodded. "Alright, then. We'll stop by your house tomorrow to grab some things, then we'll bring it here." She said.

"I don't have much, what I like I kept with me. My big brother taught me always to do that" Cleo replied, unpacking the things in her bag. Inside were typical kid things, a favorite toy, a little snack and a juice box. But among them were a family photo and another set of clothing.

"And that's it? You don't want bed or anything?" Lyra asked. There were a crap load of stuff in the town hall's emergency vault. It was locked when she got there, but she found the key in the mayor's office.

"I can sleep on the chairs, I don't want to cause you trouble by going to get a bed" Cleo answered, putting the family photo up on the desk. She hoped wherever the rest of her family was, they were safe.

'Alright then, I'll go fetch some blankets." Lyra nods.

Cleo nodded as she moved some chairs in the room, arranging them in somewhat of a bed. Oddly, she felt more at home here then in her own home.

Lyra exited the room and entered the Mayor's office for a short few seconds, then locked the door behind her. A few seconds later, she unlocked the door and came out with a key. Going downstairs, she took a left and down another pair of steps. Downstairs was the Perdido Beach Vault, which she opened with a key, and opened the blast proof door. She closed it behind her.

Inside was about anything you needed for survival. Blankets, Pillows, Food, and many other things. Near the back of the vault, there was a weapons rack. Both automatic and manual. She hadn't touched them yet, because she decided that it should be her secret. Her secret until things turned bad.

Turning to a shelf, she grabbed some pillows and blankets before exiting.

Cleo climbed into her makeshift bed, sitting down, holding her stuffed toy close to her chest. She said spoke a quiet prayer of safety on both her and Lyra. "If any one is listening out there, thank you for letting me find Lyra, please keep her safe. And wherever Mama, Papa and Cyrus are please keep them safe from danger. Thank you for everything both good and bad" She spoke in a soft tone, a tiny smile pulling at the corners of her lips.

Lyra knocked, then opened the door. In her hands were some blankets and pillows. "Here they are." Lyra said, entering the room and approached Cleo's bed.

Cleo looked up suddenly "Thank you" Cleo said politely, taking some of the blankets and putting them on the bed.

"Your welcome." Lyra said. "I've got some stuff to do in my room. Alright?"

Cleo nodded "Okay" She said, laying down. The day's events exhausting the young girl, she was ready to go to bed.

Lyra left Cleo's room and headed for her own.

((Wait, there's no one in the Town Hall?))

((It's Cleo and Lyra, who are living there. Lyra's heading to her room, which is the Mayor's office XP

Maybe your character could butt in or somethin?))

((Oh. Are their rooms in the Town hall?))

Jace pushed open the doors to the Town Hall and grinned to find it nearly empty. He walked over to a pillar and ran his hand along it, feeling the cracks. Pressing his back against it, he slowly slid down to the floor and closed his eyes. He could sleep here. He didn't care about a bed.

((yes. There mostly offices, which are on the second floor. Lyra's in the Mayor's office now.))

The sound of doors closing. Lyra halted in front of the Mayor's office, swinging around to look at the staircase. Someone was inside, not good. What should she do? Tell him or her to go away and say it was her property? No, that wouldn't be right. Should she even go downstairs?

Cleo heard the sounds and peaked out her door, she stayed mostly hidden encase it was someone that wanted to hurt her or Lyra.

((Are the boys' bedrooms in the Town Hall too?))

Thankfully, Jace heard no further sounds so he managed to drift into sleep. It wasn't peaceful, though. It usually never was. During his sleep, Jace was unaware of the fact that he move and he ended up lying on his front with his right arm stretched out to the side. His mouth was slightly open. Cute.

((No bedrooms, just offices. Most are living in there houses. Lyra's house burnt down and Cleo didn't want to live alone.))

Lyra approached the staircase and started going down. She was slow and quiet, and she tried to listen for voices. She had her fist balled, just incase she had to punch anyone.

((Ah, okay. I need to go now.))

Jace was oblivious to the girl approaching him. He hoped she didn't murder him.

((See ya' ^_^))

When Lyra's foot made contact with the ground level, she looked around the dark main lobby. The lights where off, so she was having trouble seeing. She squinted her eyes a bit.

((I can't do much as he's asleep..))

"Jace.. don't be afraid.. it's okay.. Sleep well.." Jace heard the voice and mumbled in his sleep and then went quiet.

Everything was so fuzzy and dark, she nearly ran into a pillar in the main room. She wished she had a flashlight, then she could see better. Turning her head around, she noticed that darker figure of a boy in the dark. Fist still balled, she quietly crept towards the boy.

Cleo moved quickly and quietly to the top of the stairs, watching the scene. She stayed far away encase it was dangerous and she needed to run away.

In his dream, Jace swatted away a crow that kept pecking at his arm. His dream-self didn't like it.

The crow was ugly, with two huge red beads for eyes. Some of its feathers were missing; they had probably been taken out in a fight. Then another creature landed near Jace. The boy started to move backwards, but he tripped over a rock and fell flat on his back. The two crows took this opportunity to fly towards Jace. They immediately pecked at his arms and legs, slowly peeling off his skin. When satisfied, the birds flew away, leaving his arm scratched and bleeding.

"No, no.. Stop it.." Jace mumbled, asleep, still spread-out on the cold marble floor.

No, no.. Stop it..

Lyra tossed her eyes towards the voice's source. It was a boy's voice, no doubt. His tone sounded tired and dragged. Probably sleep talking. Why is he on the floor? she thinks. You'd think that he'd be sitting up or something.

((Do you mind if one (or two) of my characters join? Ones a male, ones a female))

((I'm okay with it))

((Okay, thanks. Can we have a posting order? Like: Dah-Bomb, Anastacia, Mel, Me))

((Sounds great! Gotta wait for Mel though.))

((Alright, do you mind if I post a quicky introduction post for my character though?))

((Go ahead ^_^))

((Thanks, and is Adder approved? the male creation thread isnt working for me XP))

Adder glanced around, slipping into the town hall and collapsing onto the ground. He was wet- with blood, with water, with mud. He had fallen, after being chased from his parents old home and had tripped, cutting his hand open. And then of course, he had still been holding the dog- the dog that had been stuck in the fence, biting it's own legs off in oder to get out. Dog blood smeared his chest, mud covering his ankles and boots. His hair was soaking, dripping down his back. "Oh my god" he gasped, placing the dog down and trying to find out if it's heart was still beating. When he couldn;t hear a heart beat or find a pulse, his face went down, placing it on the dogs hip, blood smearing across his face as he choked on his own tears. No, no, no... this couldn't be true.

((Ya, he's good ^_^))

((YASSS. Do you have a free character to roleplay with? I really want to roleplay with Adder)

((I could RP with Tiber, but he's not done yet. He's a Coates Prick XP I plan to make him the main antagonist.))

((Urg... How bout I change my post so Adder is here, then I can rp Roscoe with Tiber since she would clash heads with him and it would be dramatic XD))
