Mage Scene in 15 (Mar 25, 2011 7:57:29 PM)
Those of you with awareness are drawn to a great pulling of forces in the air as it nearly vibrates with the smell of ozone. Something is pushing against the boundries of reality and hard at that. It's pulling you toward the 9th ward...
Mage Scene in 15 (Mar 25, 2011 7:57:34 PM)

Jerid (Mar 25, 2011 8:00:04 PM)
Upon getting to the Ninth ward you feel the strong use of forces hanging heavy in the air. Jerid is a gawky looking nerd of a boy all knees and elbows and glasses wearing a Captain Marvel T Shirt. Jerid floats above the ground being suspended by nothing but his own force of will. His arms outstretched to gather up a child that is crying out a third story window as below fire fighters are trying to battle the flames. On the ground is a young boy around 13 with glasses and a X men T shirt "Duude you just pulled a Shazam yo!" he calls up to the floating boy that is rescuing the child in the window.
Jerid (Mar 25, 2011 8:00:53 PM)
(feel free to react *S*)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 25, 2011 8:01:37 PM)
-Jareth was hanging out with Pan when it started tugging at them.. and well.. Neither of them could really resist going to see what was up, and so that way they went, quickly!- "What in.. hell is going on.. Seriously?" -He muttered.-
Alex Steele (Mar 25, 2011 8:01:50 PM)
*Alex is riding through the ninth ward, scanning his eyes from left to right with Aislinn on the back of his bike (Player is stuck in traffics right now) As he looks up and sees the flying kid he stops the bike, dropping the kickstand and hopping off with a disturbed look on his face* Oh, come on... gonna give the rest of us comic fans a bad rep. *he shakes his head, jsut watchign for now*
Pandora Freeman (Mar 25, 2011 8:02:36 PM)
Pan is with Jareth and dressed down, hair tied back, lips still rainbowed cargoes, a set of fingerless gloves, lime green trianers and a Harley Quinn T-shirt.. because harley is awesome, as she spoke looking at the scene going on and she spoke softly..."Shit, fan..."
Saffron Dorsey (Mar 25, 2011 8:03:28 PM)
*Saffron arrived in her black honda element, parked outside the firetruck line and got out wearinga pair of black wool-tweed knickerbockers, long stockings and Victorian lace-up boots. Her vest matches her britches and she has a white, fitted, Victorian dress shirt with a light gray lace tie. On her head light gray felt bowler with black hat band. Her hair is pulled into a neat braid. She has an ebony cane in her hand. She headed for the scene, spotting the boy in the air almost immediately. Pesto sat on her shoulder as she approached. She didn't look at all happy by the display in public.*
Kaydence Phillips (Mar 25, 2011 8:04:11 PM)
*Craig and Kay pulled up to the scene at the 9th ward. Kay on the back of black ninja motercyle driven by some hot Caucasian Asian. Hopping off the back she started to take off her helmet, looking up at the scene her mouth opened and out came the comments* FUCKING A! Really. Here I am trying to get busy and next thing I know…I –got- to go. Can’t a girl get one damn uninterrupted lay once in a while? *Pretty blonde girl in said super dramatic tone rolling her eyes so hard it made her head hurt. Dressed in her normal get up a black and red Hello Kitty shirt, skinny jeans and a pair of cute flat red glittered shoes. * So what the hell is going on here?
Alex Steele (Mar 25, 2011 8:05:11 PM)
*alex looks down at his own Green Lantern T, and sighs* looking back up, then arround for any friendly faces. Seeing Jareth, he grabs Aislinn by the hand, and starts heading that way.* Dude!
Apple (Mar 25, 2011 8:05:26 PM)
Apple didn't really seem to have any idea what she was doing, or why she was following the strange sensation. It had seemed, at the moment, a curious thing. She didn't seem overly aware of the potential for danger the area was known for, just walking along in her own little world.
Craig Killian (Mar 25, 2011 8:05:40 PM)

*Saffron found her way to a good vantage point but generally out of the way. She glared at the Captain-Marvelous teen considering her options. She pulled out the brass lobotomy hook from her jacket and started to concentrate on... well, everything. This was a tall order.
James Alway (Mar 25, 2011 8:07:00 PM)
*he looks up from his corner and watches shaking his head as the guy using magic blantly, watching him closely, stands moving closer, looking around to those around*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 25, 2011 8:07:02 PM)
"I see that.... " And he eyed the scene, and muttered something in mandarin, asking Reggie to go take a closer look and tell them to get down, quick. The spiritcrow does go up there (and yay for telepathy) ~Down! Bad! Danger!~
Kaydence Phillips (Mar 25, 2011 8:07:18 PM)
*She pulled her phone out of her back pocket, wrinkleing her pretty little nose as she starts to tap on the screen* Well don't blame me damnit I -know- I sent that bitch out on the list serve. its not my fault if people don't check there mother fucking e-mail. *She said with a grin.* Lets try a resend shall we?
Jerid (Mar 25, 2011 8:07:56 PM)
The boy pulls the child out of the window looking amazed at hearing voices "Score new power!" and slowly lands on the ground to set the child down and gives the other nerdy kid a high five "So totally nailed the landing this time! " with excitement in his voice. The Firefighters are simply dumb founded as the flying boy leans forward his nose starts to bleed and he leans on his friend* "owww....". Behind the people near the building a blast comes out and blows out the windows the young boy holds up a hand to shield them from the blast the glass hitting a wall of pure force of will as the nose bleed gets worse.
Craig Killian (Mar 25, 2011 8:09:05 PM)
*craig got off the motorcycle and shook his head, leaned over to Kaydence and said quietly* That? That's paradox. I bet he's got enough accumulated to wipe out a small third world country at this point.
Evelyn ‘Eve’ Spare (Mar 25, 2011 8:09:27 PM)
Eve stared at the scene curiously upon arriving. Staying back with the crowd at the moment to blend in and just watch, likely with a similiar dumbfounded expression - even if the reasoning for it isn't quite the same as the rest.
Pandora Freeman (Mar 25, 2011 8:09:37 PM)
Pan was with Jareth and saw an incoming Alex.. and her eyes cast aroudn ta the...number ofpeople arriving and she spoke softly "Jareth..." a pause "I gotta real bad feeling on this one." and there was the boy..nose bleeding and she felt this ...surgeof anger..and a rising need to protect the kid "We gotta help him!" poor Pan.. she'ds about to take off and just whisk the kid off andrun...
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 25, 2011 8:09:56 PM)
"He's gonna kill himself.. if the Techs don't do it for him." Looking to Alex and the (absentee) Aislinn. "So.. yeah.. " Looking at Pan. "Grab him or watch him blow up?"
Jerid (Mar 25, 2011 8:10:09 PM)
Those of you that have heard the tell tale signs of the locusts you can hear them now in the distance
Saffron Dorsey (Mar 25, 2011 8:10:20 PM)
*Saffron wove what she could to try and keep anyone from noticing... or remembering. But the crowd, its size, and the seer twisting of reality was too much. She flopped back against the wall, overwhelmed and unable to keep the act unnoticed.*
Alex Steele (Mar 25, 2011 8:10:25 PM)
We gotta help him, but we gotta be smart about it. I vote grab him, but I think we need a distraction. *looking up* Balls. Here come the bugs.
Craig Killian (Mar 25, 2011 8:11:17 PM)
Oh shit. *He turned to Kay* be ready, we gotta go. *he however, moved towards the two kids rapidly...*
Pandora Freeman (Mar 25, 2011 8:11:33 PM)
Pan heard the Locusts and wrinkeld her nose and she was..also moving for the two kids.. nothing said..
Jerid (Mar 25, 2011 8:11:38 PM)
Jerid looks around a little his eyes wide nose still bleeding...
Jerid (Mar 25, 2011 8:12:24 PM)
To the other boy "Time ta go Mark...you ready?" he looks to his pocket and frowns.
Craig Killian (Mar 25, 2011 8:12:34 PM)
*Craig stopped in front of them, hand on a shoulder of each* Listen to me and listen close. What you just did was a very bad idea, and you need to get out of here very, very rapidly...
Alex Steele (Mar 25, 2011 8:12:36 PM)
*Alex is in a full run with Pandora, slowled only by tryign to keep Aislinn with him.* Jareth, if this goes as pearshaped as I think it will, take Aislinn and get to saftey, ok?
Jerid (Mar 25, 2011 8:12:55 PM)
Takes out his phone looks at it then looks for the sender and tilts his head....shakes it and then his eyes go wide...
Kaydence Phillips (Mar 25, 2011 8:13:08 PM)
*She look up at Craig after her fingers went all wild, nodding her head once she ran after Craig* Wait for meeeeeeeeeeeee!
Saffron Dorsey (Mar 25, 2011 8:13:30 PM)
*huffing to catch her breath, she looked around at the sound of the locusts. She looked at the teen trying to think if she could get him out of there, but with everything centered on him it was unlikely. She watched Craig and held her ground to see if he needed assistance but she was already finding her way back to her vehicle in her mind.*
Evelyn ‘Eve’ Spare (Mar 25, 2011 8:13:36 PM)
She noted Craig heading for the kids and started heading away again. It seemed the situtation wasn't really under control but at least someone was grabbing them, sticking around wasn't the wisest course so she headed off a bit more briskly than she'd arrived. Tugging out a cell phone and putting it to her ear. "Hold on, it's too loud here."
Craig Killian (Mar 25, 2011 8:13:53 PM)
*He turned to Kay* Kay, hon, get on my bike and start it like I showed you how, we have to get out of here fast.
Jerid (Mar 25, 2011 8:13:57 PM)
He looks to Craig "Lay off...there is evil afooot!" he takes Marks hand and suddenly the air rushes in to where he used to be....
Jerid (Mar 25, 2011 8:14:22 PM)
The Locusts are coming, seeking out where the boy used to be.
Jerid (Mar 25, 2011 8:14:35 PM)
(This user is now known as Locusts)
Craig Killian (Mar 25, 2011 8:14:49 PM)

Locusts (Mar 25, 2011 8:15:18 PM)

Kaydence Phillips (Mar 25, 2011 8:15:21 PM)
Aww fuck me! *she called out with a loud roar, nodding her head she turned into look at Craig before running back in the direction of the bike.*
Alex Steele (Mar 25, 2011 8:15:26 PM)
*Alex watches the boy teleport* Evil afoot?
Saffron Dorsey (Mar 25, 2011 8:15:32 PM)
*On the same page as Craig, she hobbled back toward her car as fast as she could on her cane. She hopped in and let Pesto fly in before closing the door and starting the motor. She waited for Craig and Kay to be moving and would try to follow them.*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 25, 2011 8:16:08 PM)
Insert aggrivated sigh. Yeah. "Guys! Come on.. let's just get out of here!"
Alex Steele (Mar 25, 2011 8:16:35 PM)
*Alex picks Aislinn up to cary her on his longer legs and starts running North east as fast and hard as he can*
Saffron Dorsey (Mar 25, 2011 8:16:53 PM)
*stuck her head out her car window* Craig!
Pandora Freeman (Mar 25, 2011 8:17:25 PM)
as Pan never apperntly..got there but she'd back up to Jareth and strt makign tracks with him ..away "fuck"
Evelyn ‘Eve’ Spare (Mar 25, 2011 8:17:35 PM)
Eve heads away from the area, also north-east.
Craig Killian (Mar 25, 2011 8:17:41 PM)
*Craig was pulling on his helmet when he glanced up at saffron*
Saffron Dorsey (Mar 25, 2011 8:17:57 PM)

Kaydence Phillips (Mar 25, 2011 8:18:09 PM)
*She threw her phone in her back pocket starting the motercyle up, then throwing her helmt on holding on tight to Craig* Hit and get it.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 25, 2011 8:18:49 PM)
Same.. muttering to her.. "Lets get away from here a bit and see if we can anticipate the next jump?"
Craig Killian (Mar 25, 2011 8:18:50 PM)
*He hopped on the Ninja, made sure Kay was holding on, and layed into the throttle, maneuvering the bike like he stole it...*
Locusts (Mar 25, 2011 8:18:59 PM)
Before you even come in sight of the place the disturbance is coming from you can hear the rending of metal and smell of ozone and meniacal laughter along with "Dude USE ATLAS!!! SERIOUSLY!"
James Alway (Mar 25, 2011 8:19:11 PM)
*he moves closers, and looks around looking at the locust and moves to the group*
Pandora Freeman (Mar 25, 2011 8:19:42 PM)
Pan was already nodding as she spoke "Or cause one. lure him to us..Classic Hero bait" pause "I do a good Scream"
James Alway (Mar 25, 2011 8:19:44 PM)
*he shakes his head, and begans to use his cart as a scoot, heading in a direction*
Saffron Dorsey (Mar 25, 2011 8:19:52 PM)
*drove to the new corner, site of the continued disturbance, looking for the boy in question.*

Craig Killian (Mar 25, 2011 8:20:29 PM)
*Craig slowed to a crawl, head on a swivel as they checked alley ways and the like...*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 25, 2011 8:20:44 PM)
A snerk.. "We need more attention like we need another hole in the head." But he was grinning anyways.. "I'm just hoping you're good at predicting shit, because i'm useless at it."
Evelyn ‘Eve’ Spare (Mar 25, 2011 8:20:58 PM)
She remained in her car for now, looking as well, ready to drive off again if the bugs got too close to them.
Apple (Mar 25, 2011 8:21:25 PM)
Apple, for all her off in her own worldness, is clearly nonplussed with the entire situation.
Tohunga (Mar 25, 2011 8:21:25 PM)
At the last scene, upon their departure, the bugs move around wildly and a touch confused. Their source of their aggitation has gone and so for many of them they're mulling solely to try to figure out with their limited understandings of quite what happened here. Though many are already starting either back to their point of origon, likely another swarm to happen in the future however ...
Saffron Dorsey (Mar 25, 2011 8:21:49 PM)
*Saffron sent Pesto up for an aerial view of the immediate area, seeking their quarry.*
Kaydence Phillips (Mar 25, 2011 8:22:04 PM)
*She blinked a few times peeking her head around Craig from her seat on the back of the bike to see what in teh hell was going on.* I am not a mother fucking comic nerd could someone please clue me the fuck in yo?
Jerid (Mar 25, 2011 8:22:20 PM)
When you get to the scene Jerid is lifting a car full of bank robbers over his head nose still bleeding fully his little friend Mark is egging him on to do more. The yell about captain marvel gets his attention and he tilts his head Dropping the car like it weighed nothing. Probably smashing a few of the robbers. The boy swoons on his feet and proceeds to just pass out and his little friend bends over him "Dude...hellish...".

Tohunga (Mar 25, 2011 8:25:40 PM)
This time, things are developing more, the mages are seeing first hand the actions of someone who doesn't know that something like this is not just foolish but in time deadly. The technocrats this time aren't just mobilising bugs - thats the least of peoples concerns. Somewhere in the city, people are moving out. Time to deal with the reality deviants ....
Alex Steele (Mar 25, 2011 8:25:53 PM)
*Alex reaches down to scoop up the boy* I'm not gonna let that happen. *Looking at the other mages kinda hoping the fact that Alex can speak their brand of crazy would buy him a moment's leeway here*
Saffron Dorsey (Mar 25, 2011 8:26:22 PM)
*Saffron held her rod in her hand, and gave it a twist, trying to push an idea into Mark's head. She succeeded (2x).* You and your friend must come with us. Right now.
Mark (Mar 25, 2011 8:26:24 PM)
Out of the car one of the robbers leans out with his AK and starts rattling off shots at random in anger "FUCKING KID!"
Evelyn ‘Eve’ Spare (Mar 25, 2011 8:26:27 PM)
Eve's already getting outta dodge, there are a whole other group of mages there so no point really sticking around just to stand there. She's moving away from the dangerous area.
Craig Killian (Mar 25, 2011 8:26:29 PM)
*He heeled the bike onto it's kickstand* not if you two calm the fuck down and stop acting like the world is a god damned comic book. *He steped off and knelt to check the kids pulse, then looked at Mark, then glanced around to see who had a car* we have got to get him out of here and fast and then cover our tracks.

Tohunga (Mar 25, 2011 8:29:26 PM)
As the gunfire rips through the area, a van rolls around the corner. Plain and unmarked, it has an air of arcane about it, designed to be forgotten by those who're not efficient in such things. The door opens and for the first time the mages of the city see a figure slip out, he is nigh seven foot and built in such a way that Alex would almost be envious. He runs at a pace no man should and heads towards the downed child.
Craig Killian (Mar 25, 2011 8:30:13 PM)
OH FUCK! GO GO GO EVERYONE GO! *Craig's mind reeled, cyborg, the last time he'd seen one was nearly the last time he'd seen anything...*

Saffron Dorsey (Mar 25, 2011 8:30:50 PM)
*Saffron started back to her car, mentally summoning Pesto to join them, but made sure Mark was coming with her. She hurridly got into the Element once Mark was inside. She drove off as quickly but patiently as she could when the van sped around the corner wanting no part of its occupants* Do you see? *she pointed at the van.* Another moment and you were going to die. *And she drove.*

Ignoring the rest of those who're present, they haven't caused this disturbance, the man who holds the child and is trying to take him away from here is the immediate issue and Alex with a child in his arms is always going to be at a disadvantage. The man running past the rest, starting down the alleyway after him, anyone watching can really see that one way or another Alex isn't going to make it to the bike before it gets to him.

Craig Killian (Mar 25, 2011 8:36:10 PM)
*Craig was up and running, he saw Kay sweep the bike into gear, so instead he turned and sprinted after the cyborg, full out, looking for *anything* that might be a weapon in his hands as he gave chase.*

"Shit.. " He looked at Pan.. Cuz.. Yeah. Then he shook his head, snagged Ais (still unaccounted for) by the arm and propelled her the other way! "Go!.. Dammit.. Get outta here." And the fox.. who wasn't nearly as happy with what was going on as anyone would like him to be, headed obliquely to see if there was anyone else in that van.

Jerid (Mar 25, 2011 8:37:46 PM)
Jerid wakes up abruptly and screams out a force blast coming off of himself knocking himself out of Alex's arms.
James Alway (Mar 25, 2011 8:37:47 PM)

Alex Steele (Mar 25, 2011 8:38:32 PM)
*realizing he is fast runnign out of options, he stops dead in his tracks and turned, cornered, but he will not let go of the child, or show fear to his most hated foe* ... Mine is the power that protects and limits. MIne is the strength that says No. And No further. And -that- is enough. *he brings the blade up and finds his center, praying the Dark father won't call him home today, but at the very least, he was going to take the cyborg with him., then he gets hit by the force blast* Dammit! *he lunges for the kid*
Craig Killian (Mar 25, 2011 8:39:12 PM)

As James goes to grab the kid he dodges quickly away from James calling out "MARK!!"
Tohunga (Mar 25, 2011 8:41:25 PM)
Two men sit in the front of the van, waiting for their companion to return, though it would appear they have pistols sitting at the ready between them, not as big as their other, they still appear to be meaning ... business. As Alex has the child knocked out of his hands, theres a quite look and a thinning of his lips. A small opening appearing above his hand and metal line flies out through the air, hitting despite his best effort Alex in the chest. The electrical sounds that flow through the area indicative enough of what just hit Alex...
Pandora Freeman (Mar 25, 2011 8:42:33 PM)
The scream got her attention as you know.. she closes her eyes "they need time" she nods ..and then there was name shouting. .and she sighs looking at the van and she nodded "isee two bodies.. she smiles "I oculd work my feminine whiles on them?
Alex Steele (Mar 25, 2011 8:43:15 PM)
*Alex grits his teeth, his muscles going suddenly tense. His last thoughts are for Aislinn, praying to the dark father that his life buys her time to run to safety. And then blackness consumes him. He slumps, face first in the filth, his dagger clattering from his hand*
Tohunga (Mar 25, 2011 8:43:44 PM)
Another figure now with the child, looking up and then starting after him to leave Alex with the ends of a tazer thread in him. No one gets between a hit mark and their target without some troubles ... and now it appears to be James turn ...
Jerid (Mar 25, 2011 8:44:20 PM)
Jerid throws himself between James and the hit mark to take whatever is coming like a proper hero.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 25, 2011 8:44:49 PM)
"Don't be insane." He slid arms around her to just... look properly scared and confused at everything going on.. though he could still see the van and it's occupants from where he was.. "they're not going to fall for it.... but we could demand why the hell they aren't arresting the robbers."
Craig Killian (Mar 25, 2011 8:46:31 PM)
*Craig ran up behind said Hit mark and at the last minute he lept and brought the pipe around, not to try and knock the cyborg's legs out from under it, that was bound to fail, but instead he was trying to drive the pipe between it's legs into the ground - to make the machine trip by leverage - he knew damn good and well it wasn't going to go down easy, he had to have the advantage...*

Tohunga (Mar 25, 2011 8:50:19 PM)
Meanwhile in the distance sirens are starting to be heard, the real authorities responding to yet another action in the day to come - busy day in New Orleans. The hit mark's hands lowering again, preparing to tazer James, he is instead hit with the pipe and goes down just at the wrong moment, instead of hitting James squarely where it'd intended in the middle of his forehead, instead it hits Jerid in the middle of his chest, if James doesn't let go, he's about to get a rather impressive example of what electricity can do.
Jerid (Mar 25, 2011 8:50:55 PM)

Craig Killian (Mar 25, 2011 8:57:11 PM)
*Craig frowned and turned, fuck this. That Hit Mark was going to go into kill mode very shortly if it didn't get it's target and when that happened... he wasn't going to be there. He hauled ass for wherE Kay had left his bike for him, helmet still on, and didn't stop to look back for a second. The only thing he did do as he ran was to pull out his cell phone and jerk the battery out...*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Mar 25, 2011 8:57:48 PM)
He began to move..... not directly for where he knew the insanity was by now, but close. If nothing else, he had to find Alex.
Tohunga (Mar 25, 2011 8:58:47 PM)
"You stop me again ... you die." The man's eyes flash again, moving towards James and the kid that is still attached to him with threads from the tazer. As soon as James had tried to touch the kid again another wave of electricity flows down their lengths. The kid flopping around on the ground like a fish out of water, warning of what might happen to James should he try to grab him.

Staring at James with viscious intent throughout, reaching down to pull up the boy like hes made of next to nothing and stepping backwards away from James. One sign that this might've once been a man and not a completely unfeeling construct comes as while stepping over Alex, Alex gets a kick to the side, reward for his first efforts - getting in the way. That'll ... leave a bruise and probably a cracked rib or two. Then it turns and runs with the kid back for the van. The door sliding closed behind the two and then squealing off - not wanting to be here with the authorities arrive.
