Staff Applications are now up! It's about time. :B
I've also done some layout shifting: The chatbox is now at the bottom of the forum, and a staff list will be on the top in its place.:B
I'm gonna try to bring this place back up some. Let's hope for the best.

Two NPCs have been added to 5. People and Organizations. Locke Harper is the fairly optomistic President and founder of the Esper Coaltion, while Nicholas Hobbes is the strict and serious Chief of the Vertex Police. Both are well known in the city, and both are named after old world philosophers. Have fun reading :D

All was quiet in the Industrial Park.

The sun had just set, and the workers already were returning home to their families, as everyone else in the city who worked tended to do.

Except one.

That empty, rundown, abandoned warehouse, right at the end of the row, facing away from the streets, and the furthest from them...notice something?

Riley Niezeip looked a mess as she clambered out of a trap door, leading down to the Catacombs. This morning, she had been attacked by Shine Ex employees, and only by the skin of her teeth (and JD's help) was she able to get away. She hadn't dared to leave the Catacombs, fearing capture, and only now emerged - dirty, hungry, and tired to the bone.

"Finally..." she looked around, examining the empty warehouse, before deeming it safe to stay in for the night. As she sat down in a corner by the slightly open roll-up doors of the abandoned warehouse, she sighed.

"What am I going to do now?" she wondered out loud, looking at her grimy gloves.

Saria had started her nightly walk earlier than usual today, mainly because she didn't want to run into any more trouble any time soon. She was still wearing a red T-shirt and black skirt since her favorate outfit was still in the wash.

The Darkness manipulating girl smiled as she brushed a strand of hair out from in front of her face. She walked passed an old abandoned warehouse unaware that someone was inside of it.

Hearing the sound of someone approaching, Riley jumped, and scrambled to her feet in haste. However, hunger, fatigue, and stress took its toll finally on the girl, and the sudden shift in altitude made her keel over onto the ground - of course, causing a loud noise.

"Omph!"

And that's how Riley found herself on her stomach, hoping to whatever deity there was that the other person didn't hear.

Whatever diety Riley was parying to wasn't listening didn't hear her prayer as Saria jumped at the sudden sound. Cautiously Saria walked into the warehouse to see what caused the noise and her purple eyes widened as she saw who it was.

"Riley." Saria shouted as she ran over to the other girl and asked "Riley are you okay?"

Riley sighed in relief as she saw who it was - none other than Saria, a girl whom she'd given a sculpture to a few days ago. The girl used her hands to help get herself into a semi upright position, and gave a weak grin.

"Want the truth or the sugar coated reply?" she rasped - she hadn't really noticed how thristy she was during her run, but now...

"Do you have any food or water? I haven't eaten a thing since this morning." she added, on her elbows - she didn't want to go any higher, seeing what happened the last time she quickly stood up.

Saria shook her head and replied "No I don't. Sorry Riley. Um we should get you out of here."

At this, Riley gave a small shake of her head - a no.

"Shine Ex is looking for me - and it's not a good thing." she looked up at Saria. "They're looking for mutants like me for some crazy plan - and the boss of that company is trying to kill his own kid, JD. I don't want to know what they're going to do to me, especially since they tried to capture me this morning." she looked around, worried. "I hope JD is alright..."

"Shine-Ex the power company?" Saria asked, confused a great deal by the fact that Shine-Ex was doing this. Of course there was also a chance that they knew about her powers since it was recorded that she was a mutant.

"We need to get you out of here Riley." Saria said as she tried to pull the other girl up to her feet.

Riley would've tried to struggle against Saria...if it weren't for the fact that she was too damn tired to do so.

"Alright, alright." she slowly went back up onto her feet, and closed her eyes, trying to make the dizzying sensation of vertigo go away. "Where to then?"

"If you can make it I should be able to take you to where I live. My mom works the night shift so she won't be there." Saria said as she started to drag Riley in the direction of her home.
