Time is a cruel thief to rob us of our former selves. We lose as much to life as we do to death.

What has been...

In the start, Aisha had just met Piper, and Orion had just stumbled into the Magic Carpet. After a while of chit chat, the sun slowly sank into the sky, and they were both on the move to different locations around the city. Also during this time, Maia was listening to one of Alexander's long winded debates. It is assumed that at this time that Teagan was looking after the Dojo while her uncle was away at a meet. Rana and Orion separate for a bit, with Orion looking for her apartment, and Rana locking up. Some time later, Aisha and Piper were running from a werewolf named Artemis. He ran them off the road into an indian restaurant, where Rana and Orion had just gathered for morning coffee. True day break was some ways away when the power was cut, and all hell broke loose. The riots built as the night began to dwindle, with several strangers entering the eatery, drawn by the light of the generator. A helicopter. lost in the dark, sailed into the radio station outside of the building, lighting up the scene and showing a grisly sight.

Meanwhile, across town, Brandon and Devon are sifting through the ruble of Brandons bombed out apartment building. Devon suggests that they head to her own hotel, and so, they too are convergeing on a sector of the city that has quickly come to buzz with people.

With day break, Amaris has just entered the working world once more, and this time its to pick up some arms and deliver them elsewhere in the city. She has just gotten into the van when the snot nosed preteen Amiko slid into the passenger side. Insanity followed.

Alexander and Maia, their lectures interrupted, moved across the island to Maia's grandmothers home. They entered the residence to find it in pieces, and her Grandmother dead. They had a brief shoot out with the ex-con Lucas, and he's been running ever sense. Now, Alexander and Maia are moving to spread the word, and maybe help some people in this darker time.

As dawn spear headed the riot engulfed city, Aisha and her merry band of misfits trooped across the wrecked landscape of the horrible city to the only place they could hope to be safe; a church. They entered into the place, and now they are setting up fort for the rest of day, and maybe even night.

James also wandered in about this time, looking around the church and sight seeing and such.

Teagan has just finished sweeping her ruined dojo, and has decided to have a talk with god. Moving to the church, she sees Alexander walk in, and she follows after. looking about, she sees the gun totting Aisha, and like any other quasi-sane person, she starts to back out slowly.

Characters and their last locations:

Restaurant-Church: Aisha, Rana, Orion, Piper, Rayne, Astrid, James

Bombed out Apartment: Brandon, Devon

Special Delivery: Amaris, Amiko

On the run: Lucas

What is...

Amaris and Amiko drove to the warehouse with the delivery shipment where an eerie man greeted them and escorted them inside. The warehouse seemed to be a meat storage facility of some kind, but was poorly lit and it gave off some major creepyness. Once the girls entered and dropped off the crates, the already dim lights went out and they were trapped in the dark. Amiko was grabbed and tied to a chair in the upper area of the warehouse, while Amaris encountered a strange woman in the dark.......

A girl named Brittany, who calls herself Cat, walked into the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church and met up with Aisha, Rana, Orion, Piper, Rayne, Astrid, James, and Alexander. What a cast, aye? There were a few tense moments in the church, such as when new comer Teagan, with her dog, Panda, assumed she had become locke up inside a Church full of armed lunatics. Officer Stefan Moss ran in after being chased from outside, which Asiha took care of afterwards. Orion hid on one of the cots in the back and soon was joined by Rana and Astrid. Piper got upset and instinctively used her telekinesis to throw a candleholder to a church wall. Why? We still don’t know; stay tuned for more. Orion touched Astrid to heal her and screamed when she felt her pain. Rana helped both of them to recover. It seems that everyone and their mothers are latent metahumans. A priest named Micheal entered into the church, coming from a shelter and tryed to calm things down, but to no avail. A fight broke out between Rayne, James, Stefan and Aisha, with Noah entering just as Stefan was gunned down by Aisha. Teagan and Rayne scooped up Stefan, left the church and quickly drove to a hospital. James left in disgust, and Alexander, sick of Maia's whining, abandoned her and left the church as well. Cat stepped out then came back with some stray cats and kittens. *meow* She offered the kittens to Maia and the others to relieve the tension in the church. I just love cute fluffy things, don’t you?

Joe Silverstone and John Smith waited in JOE'S VIDEO, a store Joe planned to open the next day, until the riots started. They got into Joe's Toyota van and drove off. Joe's cat, Cougar decided to tag along and play opposites of Panda. Tyler ran into the van, while getting away from some thugs. Joe and John took Tyler with them and as they headed for the Happy Grocer, a fine establishment, where Tyler intimated that he was in the city to look for his sister. After they arrived at the Happy Grocer and Joe paid off a gun-toting store clerk $500, he and John went in and gathered up all the food available, which wasn’t much. During that time, Tyler watched the van and Cougar traipsed along after them, heading to the church.

Teagan and Rayne arrived in St. John's ER. After an encounter with police, they met up with Charlotte Greer, who works in the hospital. She took them and Stefan in to heal their wounds. Charlotte encouraged Teagan and Rayne to donate blood because of the overcrowding and short supply, but after seeing a dying man vomit on a gurney, she decided not to go through with it. Stefan oddly enough made the worlds fastest recovery and vamoosed back to the church. This guy must really be into S&M. The Hospital was overflowing with the dead and dying due to the riots, so Teagan and Rayne left and drove to Teagan's dojo.

Rana, Orion and Astrid were planning to leave the church, but it got too dark, so they stayed in the back room with the cots. Aisha went patrolling while Noah taught Maia how to handle his ‘hockey stick’ and Piper on how to use Aisha's gun. Chloe Pryant and Evander arrived around that time, which was a good thing, because a riot gang soon surrounded the church. The man with the bull horn, Fredrickson, demanded the people in the church to send out all their supplies and food or they'll attack. Cat and Evander tryed to find a way to fend them off, while Noah went down to the church cellar and got locked in there. Maia went down and freed him and soon they encountered Isis, a pretty Egyptian girl who went into the church earlier to hide. It was then the rioters began attacking the church.

Outside, Joe, John and Tyler, while searching for Cougar, saw the church being surrounded and then saw Stefan's police car pulled up next to the ruthless gang and got out to confront them. John ordered Joe to drive the van away and make noise to attract attention. John then hid next to a tree and aims his AK-47 to one of the members, hopefully the leader, to try and save Stefan.

Joe drove out with Tyler, honking the horn. A member named Rotton Bones shot out one of the van's tires and it skidded into the warehouse parking lot. Joe desperately stopped it in front of the warehouse. Joe stepped out and spotted an abandoned vehicle, possibly belonging to Amaris and Amiko. Unfortunately, Joe doesn't know whose vehicle it belongs to or what's going on in the warehouse, so he began to change the tire, while Tyler stands guard, watching......
