Agito was walking on the streets, they were full yet empty for him...
He had no idea how or when he got there, he just appeared out of nowhere,
with no memories of the even t that brought him here. When he thought about it,
everything was bitch black, no mater how hard he tried there was no sign of
that part in his memory. After a while he stopped trying, only then did he remember
of his accident... "Wait... I'm dead? WHAT!!!" - he screamed, freaked out...
His phone gave out a tune, telling him he got a message... "Huh, they've got phones in the after life? But why am I even here?"- he thought.
Sticking his hand in the pocket he pulled his phone out along with a card... "I remember this card, but like I'll need it, or maybe I will. I got my cell phone so
why not a pay phone?"-he pocketed the card and opened the message on his phone.
He read: "Gather: Find a partner, and get in line, cos we're doing a head count to see who's in, and who's out, you got half an hour."
"So wait, we are going to wait in line for our after life...LAME!!! I hate waiting..."
A flash went in front of his eyes, and the missing piece of memory was restored...
"Now I remember, the reapers game... Yes, the game... I gotta hurry and find a partner,
but who could it be..." - he thought...
"Hey you, yes, you" - a familiar voice echoed above other voices, and there was
only one person with that voice who called him out like that very often...
"Hey Agito, wait up", he was sure this time, it was Kang. Turning around, agito
saw Kang running his way. "Hey Kang, I can't believe it is you, I hopped you'll survive,
sorry, bro, It was my fault" - said Agito. "But I must admit I'm happy to see you here..."
Before Kang had any chance to say something Agito continued: "Wait, I didn't mean
it like that, I'm totally not glad that you died, same goes for me, I meant I'm glad
I'm not alone here and you can be my partner and we..." He was cut off...
"Take it easy, slow down, breath.... Let me say something" - said Kang. "First, don't worry
I'm responsible for my own death, maybe for yours too. After all I got you in to Urban sports...
Second, I'm glad YOU are here so I too am not alone and third, I was about to ask you
bout this partner thing, it's all freaking weird, WTF is going on? - said confused Kang...
"Bout our death, it wasn't our fault, it was the truck driver's fault. Anyway you don't remember?"
"Remember what, Agito"
"The reapers game, fight to survive, fight so they can measure our worth"
"NO!"
"Hum, strange, well, never mind, we are to fight and survive and finish our tasks.
So, are we partners, if yes, then let's do this!"
"Yes definitely"
When they shook hands Kang felt a stab in his hand, "Holy Sh!t, What the hell was that,
a zapper in the afterlife?" he yield but soon realized the timer, 30 minutes.
"So we really do have 30 minutes"
"Yes we do, don't take this lightly, you don't want to lose the game and in the same time
lose what ever you gave up to be here" -laughed Agito, "We better start running. Anyhow, how did you got here, remembered something?" Asked Agito, and started running.
"No, not really, all I remember is the incident and me waking up here unharmed.
I thought I had only blacked out, but I soon realized nobody notice me and the place
wasn't the place of the accident, and then I got this message and started looking
for some one that will actually hear me, luckily I found you." - he finished
"So you really have no idea bout this game, cuz I too don't know the details,
it's all just a faded memory, like a foggy mountain road"
"Ah, don't start with your artistic speech, hahaha, at least don't torture mi in my after life, hahaha"
"Shut up, you, I'm serious, what was taken away from you? Oh, wait, you don't remember"
"No, I really have no idea. As I said I only woke up here, got the message and that's it,
well besides me almost poking my eye out with this pen" - he took out the pen and showed it to Agito.
"Haha, poking your eye out while you are dead, hahaha" - that thought made Agito laugh hard
It was funny to them, even tho they knew they are dead it steel didn't feel like that,
or was it that they didn't know what to feel. They never expect this....
"I got something too, a phone card" he placed his hand in the pocket and took it out.
"Why would we have these objects, like we need them" he continued, "It's not like a card will help me,
well a phone card that is." He was moving the card through the air while he was talking
and to his and Kang's surprise started emitting some kind of energy that they both were able to feel.
"Hey do you feel that, is your hand feeling something" said kang
"Yes, it's emitting an energy field, now I think it'll come in handy. But we don't have time now,
only 2 minutes left and we are a few blocks away, not gona make it in time..."
"Stupid, did you already forgot or agility and speed, Lets hurry the hel up and climb those buildings
so we can make a straight shortcut" - said Kang
"Nice thinking"
They both climbed the building and started jumping from one to another, making their way
there much faster. The timer disappeared when they got near area 104.
"So we got right no time, just as I like it" said Agito. "Now I can figure out how this works,
you too should do the same, probably with that pen of yours"
"Yeah I will" He took out the pen again. "Hey, now I remember, this was the pen my
parents received from that stupid flight company they died from" - he was a bit angry now
"But, I can't let go of this pen, it's the only thing that can connect me to my real parents,
cuz I don't know them at all and aunt doesn't want to talk bout them, she get's easily depressed..."
In a low and sad voice he said: "I hope she's alright and moves on with her life, I can't bare the thought
of me ruining her life cuz of all this" he gave a sigh...
"She'll be all right Kang, don't worry" Agito comforted him "The pan has some writings on it, what is it"
"It writes: "May the wind carry you" and on the other side: "Ride with the wind"
"Ride with the wind, ride with the wind.. WIND! That's it, that's the power"
"What, emit wind, like your card that emits energy, let me give a try"
he focused hard and he felt breeze of air in his palm. "yes that's it, but it's hard to do it..."
OOC: They are 104 so basicaly I/They are waiting for further command...

I'm a perfectly calm person, now DIE!
A man awoke found himself in a dosolate run down area of the city... what is that sound? he thought slowly... he had a head ache... and when he tried to remember why, nothing came to him "did I drink to much..." he said, he was a bit underage but the casinos didn't seem to mind, his act was cheaper then any of his calibur... but anything beyond that he had forgoten... (and the only reason he knew that much is he died durring an act)he became aware of a sensation in his hand, but he didn't worry about that because he realized it was a phone making that sound... he reached into his pocket and looked at the screen.
"Gather: Find a partner, and get in line, cos we're doing a head count to see who's in, and who's out, you got half an hour."
"what???" he did not understand and whats worse was he forgot what he was worrying about a few seconds ago, he placed the phone in his pocket... and felt something else in there, he examined what he found "what is this a coin..." he tried to think when in the act he used a coin... he could not, he then fliped it and it left his sight... he looked arround then heard a *clink* and looked down it had landed on a manhole "but how... it must have been in some kind of blind spot, but that would mean it had to have manuvered in midair... is it some sort of... magic" he said he did not have much more time to think about it a sound formed near him and he had to worry about survival, thats when he thought about the magic coin! if I throw up my coat as a distraction... maybe the coins magic will do something he threw his coat in front of him (foolishly as his phone and unbeknownst to him another pin... were inside it) and grabbed the 'coin' as he called it and the manhole filpped and he fell inside... there was enough light to navigate by... he decided to go north... where ever that may lead
Candice
in a busy part of the city the woman named Candy woke up feeling less the sweet, she pulled out a compact mirrior to look at herself; shocked by what she saw she dropped the compact mirrior which was then stepped on and broke by a passerby. it took her a moment to even realize that her phone was informing her of a message... as she pulled the phone out she felt an odd pain in her hand and dropped the phone, then gazed at the sky "it's not enough you make me look like a hag but you have to make me feel like one as well?" she had no idea who she was talking to... but some devine... no, some unholy force must have done this to her... she picks up the phone very angerly and see's the message "Gather: Find a partner, and get in line, cos we're doing a head count to see who's in, and who's out, you got half an hour."hmm... she thought finding a partner has never been a problem for me, I'll just ask someone once I find this line... not even thinking her good looks atributed to that, she started to ask people about the quickest way to get to this 'line'...
(ooc ill use red for wat yuki says an blue for ryo)
"yes i did... Partner" yuki said while letting out a somewhat evil grin...
"oo god what have i done..." ryo thought as he saw the boy who looked somewhat familiar grinned at him... it was then that he realised his hand been burning slightly...
"aaaah whats happenin to my ha.... WHAT THE HELL!!!" ryo thought as he saw a clock counting down from thirty...
"o you have one of those too.. must count down our 30 minu.. HOLY CRAP WE'VE ONLY GOT 2 MINUTES LEFT" yelled as he grabbed the boys arm and bolted in a random direction...
"HEY PUT ME DOWN... WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU TAKING ME?" ryo yelled as the boy charged ff holding him...
"duno Where but it just feels good to go in this direction!!" Yuki replied as he sped off in the direction of the 104 building...
As they reached the foot of a building they saw a man standing at the entrance...
"guess this is the place.." yuki said as he put down the boy "o yea.. by the way im yuki... partner" as yuki said this he had the same grin as before... I guess ill jst have to go along with this... he seems strong anyway... ryo thought as the boy put him down...
"im ryo... nice to meet you... i guess... partner" ryo said grudginly...
with that they walked up to the man who now, as they got closer, they noticed had wings...The man first looked at them and then let them pass...
Natsuki was awoken suddenly by a mountian of voices. Poeple chattered, running or walking all around her. "Mother...?" She called out. Her mother obviously was nowhere near her. And she would not see her, ever, for she was dead. Natsuki longed for her mother; to see her, to hear her voice. But that was fair from happening... She needed to win the game.
Natsuki finally came back to reality becuase of her phone. It rang. She opened it carefully. There was a text... It read : "Gather: Find a partner, and get in line, cos we're doing a head count to see who's in, and who's out, you got half an hour."
"Okay" she thought "I need to find a partner..."
She ran off sprinting to right. She stopped to look around.
"Wait" She said thinking out loud "WHERE THE HELL AM I ?!"
Natsuki, her brother and her mother had just moved here before she died. So naturally she wouldn't know the area well enough. After some time and decisions, she concluded to go in the direction to the left of her. Natsuki was running fast, past the hundreds of people, passed block, streets, until*BAM*! Something wacked her in the head!
"Ouch..." She said just as the warm red metalic subtance filled her mouth and she passed out...
Heisuke
"RING RING" *YAWN* Heisuke streched his arms. He got up.
"Damn cell phone...!" He cursed. Heisuke opened it to find a text. It read : "Gather: Find a partner, and get in line, cos we're doing a head count to see who's in, and who's out, you got half an hour."
"Whatever..." He said
Heisuke turned to the right only to see...! A girl heading towards him at top speed!
He only managed to say "Holly SHIT!" before the they hit! *BAM* Blood spilled from both of their heads... "Wait a minute I know you.." He said, but the girl had already passed out.
BOTH
Heisuke trying his hardest to wake up the girl shook him a number of times. And finally he came to his last resort. He leanded close to her face, so close. Then he spit on her! >.< The girl reacted fast, woke up and punch heisuke in the face. He then was bleeding some more.
"NATSUKI" He mange to say. He leaned towards her and gave her a great big hug!
"C..can't b-breathe...!" Natsuki mumbled
"Whoops" He repied with a smile. "Hey, ya wanna be partners?"
"NO!" She said
"Wait, whaaat?" Heisuke stumbled for words
"Just kidding!" Natsuki replied laughing. "Umm, where are we anyways...?"
"Shibuya, Duh!" He said "Come on, we gotta go now to area 104!" Heisuke grabed Natsuki's hand and they ran, heading to 104.
Running was talking to long and they were tired. Both stopped and thought of better way to travel. But nothing came to mind. Until Heisuke asked "Do ya have a cloth or something, hy head really bleeding here." Natsuki reached inside her pocket only to find three little pins. "What are these she thought..." Suddenly a gust of wind came and she fell flat on her face. But at the same time she let go of the pins, the wind stopped.
"Did you do that?" Heisuke said.
"I think so.." She replied in shock
Natsuki grabed the same pin, selected the direction and the amount of wind and it worked. "COOL!" She cried. She grabed the other pins and found that the other one could creat ice and the last gave her strenght.
Heisuke looked in his pocket to 3 pins as well. The first allowed him to heal his and his sister's injuries, the second allowed him to make shield and the
3rd allowed him to breath ice fire. "THis sweet" he thought. As soon as he intended to tell Natsuki of his discovery, she had mad a direct path in the direction to 104.
"Come on!" She said impatiently
He hopped on the path, linking hands with his sis and ,with the help of the wind, skated.
They arrived to 104 with a few minutes to spare exhausted and barly able to catch a breath they walked through.
"Thank god we made it..." they said both at the same time...
Aeoto shoved his hand into his pockets and found the pins again. "hey Ikaku" he said over his shoulder "did you get these weird pins too?". "Nope...i got this baton that keeps going purple". "ok then.." Aeoto muttered as he pulled his hand out of his pocket he noticed a timer. "shit Ikaku we gotta run" aeoto said dragging his whinging brother along with him. they arrived at the 104 with time to spare, "thank god...heh...we made it" Aeoto muttered through panting breaths. "were are we?" Ikaku asked, "the 104 building, now we wait" Aeoto said, staring into the sky
Candice became frantic when no one would acknowledge her what could be happening... even homeless lowlives are not ignored so strongly she thought and what was the deal with that earlier some guy walked right into me and instead of apologize what does he do... she paused as if someone would answer her thoughts he stairs right where I stood then turned to his buddy and says 'dude... I just ran into something the felt soft and wrinkly... but nothings there' at that moment she looked at her hands and noticed a timer it read she had 23 minutes left what??? what is this, does it have something to do with the message? all this thinking was getting to her... she hadn't thought so much since her high school days... then she remember what always helped her think, and reached into her pocket for lip gloss feeling some mettalic objects she pulls them out. one had a arrows which seemed to indicate something is being swaped... one had lip gloss(the very thing she was searching for...), and the last one the very underwear she was wearing... what the hell is this! she thought then looked at her hand she had wasted about 3 minutes and someone else bumped into her "arrrggghhh I have to get away from here" she said and just ran though the crowd... not thinking about where she was going... because she was to concerned with everything else... she saw at that moment someone using flames to propell themselves through the air, holding an object similar to the ones she just found... what... what are these things she thought not slowing down... she decided to keep running till no one else was around
Kitty and Miki were sprinting, sprinting as fast as they could to the 104. "Faster Miki...we dont have alot of time left!" Kitty yelled as they ran her voice slightly panicked. Im running as fast as i can Kitty, dont you think i know we're running out of time?!" Miki retorted annoyed.
They seen the building in the distance and both sighed in relief. The girls continued to run until they were only within 30 meters of the building, before slowing and looking at the timers. Only to discover that they had disappeared. "Hey! Its gone my timer is gone!!" Kitty squealed in excitement. "Yeah..Mine too, well thats certainly a relief" replied Miki. They looked around and both had a strange feeling about the building. "*sigh* Well at least we made id, i dont really want to find out what will happen to us if that timer reaches zero..." Kitty thought outloud and put her hand into her pockets. She suddenly remembered the pins, and took them out to examine them again.
"You have some too??" asked Miki and she took out her own to show Kitty. "What are they if you dont mind me asking..?" Umm..well thats a good question actually, i just woke up in the middle of the street with these in my pocket...so i dont really know im afraid" Kitty replied adjusting her glasses. "Actually....dont you think its weird that no one even bothered to ask us if we we're ok after we woke up, or when we crashed into each other?" Kitty asked Miki.
"Now that you mention it, i did find it a little strange that no one seemed to care about a young girl just laying in the middle of the street." she replied. They continued to study their pins and wondered what they were doing in this strange place.
Well...in anycase, im sure well find out what we're doing here soon...." Kitty said as she fixed her pins to her bag. "They're cute, i might as well use them" She smiled. Miki giggled and agreed "I think i'll do the same". As the girls fiddled around with the pins, they both felt as though the pins contained some sort of power. But thats just silly, no little badges could have powers.....right? The girls ignored the feeling for the time being....
O had been moving through the sewer's for a long time(he lost track) he would have checked on that phone... but he only realized after that it was in his coat, he had been searching for a way up ever since he figgured he had gotten a safe distance from that thing... the water level was raising as he continued North, and light was getting dimmer soon he thought I won't even be able to see the an exit, how horribly sobering he looked up and oticed a dim light... when he went to put his hands against the wall to search for a ladder he noticed a red light emitting from his hand, he turned it and saw 17:25 and decending.... and instantly realized what it meant... "sorry whoever your name is... I might be out this round can I enter the next" having not found a partner and no sence of direction he sat in the sewage... ready to accept whatever fate threw him.
OOC: Just be aware you'll be attacked by Noise if you've got no partner for too long kay?
IN:
Players seemed to be disappearing right and left, with red and black Noise symbols absorbing them. Activity died down after awhile, as the amount of players who were taken, and the rest who were with partners were no longer getting attacked. While some players were confused with the task message they had recieved, the fact that "the line" actually meant the 104, curse the slang, some players managed to guess, as the 104 building was a pillar.
Though it didn't look like there was too long left, half the time had already passed.
