Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I will give you men more sentences then just one because you disserve more then that. My first explanation is that I have no weapons because you all seem to be well equipped and have been my weapons for some time now." the man shifted his eyes from one man to the other and in his situation showed fear but wouldn't react out with anything hostile. His life could be taken from these guys or the splicer’s all the same, what difference did it make if it was them or not.

"Now now, I could of swore you guys where the good ones. I would of jumped in with the crazy splicer’s if I had known I would have to confess everything at gun point. But really, If you are so afraid of me, check me. I am unarmed and wouldn't hurt you. My aim is not to take lives. I just want to get out of this hell hole, just as much as any of you." The man beckoned against the wall and tried to move out of the way for comfortable air. Budging a little and then thinking best of it stopped at the eyes of the first one who attached himself to him.

"The name is Jacob. I am an artist down here and thought better of the life styles my coworkers displayed and stayed far from the pelage we know as Adam. Even though it's calling is rough and wants to divour every soul. I held to my morals for as long as I could. As I watched them all die before my eyes, decompose while still walking I learned that it was no longer safe to be alone without some metal saving me. So I finally gave into the erg and indulged in my friends sacrilege and fed on Adam. My symptoms where oddly different from those of the others I had observed as it gave me invisibility to the eye. As I wish I can become thin as air and suddenly gone." Jacob demonstrated this ability with a smile and fell from sight right there before his new friends. He was gone and nothing, no trace. Slowly he came back to view along another wall. His clean cut appearance seemed to shine with applause as if he had just pulled off a Broadway performance and waved his hands in excitement.

“So what do you say, give a man a chance. A chance to live like the rest of you want, or take life like the savage mutant splicer’s you seem to think your better then.”

"I say ******** you."

Jack fired a shot into the man's knee cap. "I said one sentence! That's all you were allowed! I don't know how kindly my friends Rod, Lily, and John here would take to you taking up our precious air and time."

Friends! Jack wanted to smile at his own comment.
God it feels good to still know that word!

Suddenly taking note that Lily was unarmed, Jack slid her a serrated piece of glass by his foot without looking. Poor girl needs something...

The Strange man now lay on the floor in pain from his knee. The bleeding had stopped already...

Jack narrowed his eyes and snapped his fingers at the air behind Rod's back. A sign. And as much as he wished to look back at Lily and the sweet girl, he knew removing his eyes from the man was a dangerous choice. "I still say bullshit. Splicers work by more than sight." Jack pulled the hammer on his gun back and Rod swivled his carbine to the man's head effortlessly.

"Beside; you just came from that hole that was blown open by a Splicer. Not only that but I like these people a lot more than you so we've got no problem killing you."

Suddenly Gabby yawned an immistakeable child's yawn. s**t.

The man's eyes widened as he glanced at her.

That was strike 3.

((aww thanks guys...this all just makes me feel greatly wanted among my friends....lol...this is a joke))



"well If they wont listen maybe I will have to use a little more of my chess mastering force. A pawn for a pawn, my knee for your Adam." Jacob crawled invisibly along the wall and soon enough healed without a scratch. He moved quickly after the scented bunch he had marked and found them tightly bunched in a fleeing frenzy. They fought and fought like savages with no other option but to take life. No reason but fear alone and again abandoning all morals, just like this God forsaken city. Jacob slid in-between two of the others, Jack and Rod, and hid behind the group, always keeping slightly ahead of them.

"I'll get you as soon as you move in the wrong way. I'll get you, I always get my way." Jacob said to himself menacingly. He still hung low and hid, waiting, always waiting.

Jack followed step-for-step with Rod, laughing lightly at Lily's comment of clothes. The three (and one small one) had made a push down the blown-open wall, into God-only-knew what kind of territory. Pipes burst and steamed around them and Jack took stock of things. Running very low on ammo... going to need an Eve Hypo soon. Damn. And I wonder what happened to John...? He always seems to disappear. Of course, he always seems to come back.

Suddenly a thought struck Jack, "What the hell happened to the Strange Guy?" he asked quickly, whipping around with his pistol drawn.

Nothing.

Jack sense Rod moving and looking as well... Jack was growing impatient with the Strange Man's games, and they had hardly even been playing for any time. A foul stench seemed to follow them; and Jack turned his head to Rod in a flash. Two nose-raises was all he gave his friend; hoping he'd get it.

And he did. Rod winked at Jack so quickly he almost didn't catch it. Lily had continued her walking a short ways a head. So much silent communication between the two men. It almost made Jack uncomfortable for their lives.
