Outpost {open}

[Aminee Starlight]

Alyssa didn't have to tell Aminee twice. Right now the Pop Idol was wishing that they had both decided to stay back up on the surface as Vulture troops had to be better than this. Just how many abominations did they breed in a lab in this place? Or was this the work of something else entirely? Either way the Pop Idol didn't want to stick around long enough to find out. She looked around for a ladder that would lead up to the surface while turning around in the run firing off a couple of shots to the mutated lizards that continued to chase them down relentlessly. "I'm open to suggestions!"

[Elena]

Alyssa looked to the pack of cigarettes in her hand and then the sewage beneath their feet. She could light up and drop one into the sewage, the way the it was running the resulting fireball would head right into the path of the mutated lizards. With nothing to lose, Alyssa lit up a cigarette and enjoyed a quick smoke before throwing it back over her shoulder and shouting, "Jump!" Alyssa jumped forward just as the light exploded the sewage behind them and sent a burning ball of hot sewage gas right into the lizards giving them no chance for survival and consuming them. Alyssa stood up from the sewage and began to clean herself off. "Smoking kills."

[Aminee Starlight]

Aminee jumped forward through the air and landed face first in sewer water as she held her arms over her head. When the blast finished and the fireball was away from them, the Pop Idol stood up to her feet freaking out at the sewage that was now all over her clothes and in her hair. Never in her life has she wanted or needed a hot shower the way she did right now. "If it's all the same to you I think I've had enough of the sewers for one night."

[Elena]

"Be my guest. I didn't force you to follow me." After cleaning herself off Alyssa continued on her path, judging from the amount walked she expected they were passed the soldiers up above and she could continue to the next outpost on the street. How to get inside the outpost unseen to get to her friends was another matter entirely. As she began walking she quietly said to Aminee, "Don't be slow. There's bound to be more of those things down here and that explosion would have alerted them to our position. A ladder back to the surface shouldn't be far from here."

[Aminee Starlight]

"Well excuse me for living," said Aminee irritably. She was growing tired of Alyssa's attitude, all the Pop Idol was trying to do was help and she kept taking such a tone with her. Removing the sewage from her hair and clothes weren't an easy task and in order to get the rest off she would have to find a shower. "What do you expect to do once back up on the surface? The smell of sewer would alert the soldiers to your position, surely."

[Elena]

"You're excused." Alyssa walked over to the ladder and started to ascend it as Aminee asked her next question. "Way ahead of you." Alyssa opened up the manhole up above and waited for a soldier patrol to come by. When one did she'd grab him by the foot and pull him down the opened manhole, dropping down at the bottom of the ladder Alyssa knocked the soldier out with the electric baton and began to stripping the man, putting on his uniform and disguising herself as the enemy.

His energy rifle wasn't half bad either.

[Aminee Starlight]

Aminee watched Alyssa take out a soldier who was at the wrong place at the wrong time when she opened up the manhole. In their case, right place at the right time. The Pop Idol came to notice that there was only one soldier and thus only one uniform for them to change into. "You going to get one for me or are we doing that thing where one of us pretends to be the prisoner taken into custody?"

[Elena]

"Not unless you want to be hauled off to jail." Isafaro troops didn't mess around with that shit. You say you have a prisoner then they'll take the prisoner and make sure they're moved to where they need to be moved. No, Aminee would have to wait for the coast to be clear and then either look for her own uniform to blend in or go home. Alyssa climbed back up to the surface and casually walked towards the next outpost. Anybody ask, she was chasing resistance members into the sewers and the assholes set fire to the sewage. Simple.

[Aminee Starlight]

"Fine. You want to get yourself killed go right on ahead, see if I care." Aminee climbed up out of the sewers once the coast was cleared and gave up following Alyssa or trying to help her. It was clear she didn't want help or to collaborate in some form or fashion so the Pop Idol wouldn't waste her time anymore. When and if Alyssa turned her head to see if Aminee was still following her the Pop Idol would be nowhere to be found as she turned a corner and headed back to the resistance base.

The Librarian eyed the two walking off from each other; in his hands a quill with which he wrote furiously about what he saw. Never removing the hood that had kept him from people minds, and sometimes even their vision, he found himself wondering something simple; Whom should he follow? The young woman in the stolen uniform certainly seemed more daring, but the Pop Idol also seemed to have a few stories to tell. Seeming pensive as he ran silently along one of the rooftop for a clearer view, he rand and jumped; but had misjudged the landing and came up short.
The scythe appeared suddenly, and hooked onto the roof with a slight sound of steel hitting steel; not something quiet, but then this seemed a normal sound in the city of Isafaro.

"That woman.... I believe her story more interesting. I can record the other one later...." he mumbled softly to himself, beginning to follow Alyssa Harper in complete silence.
As she walked, he did as well, though was scribbling furiously, and often came to try and find new words to add to this particular tale.
Having already recorded the guard, he silently hoped that this subject would be the sort to make a legend of herself if trouble arrived.

He began to wonder her name however; though he dare not approach her and ask. His inability to actually speak to girls may just prove a greater challenge than Vulture and his men.

[Elena]

Alyssa didn't even turn around to see if Aminee was still following her she just kept moving forward as one of the soldiers up ahead caught the bad smell on her and spoke, "What on Genesis have you been getting into?" "Chased some rebel scum into the sewers. Lost them unfortunately." "Damn resistance! We'll crush their spirits eventually. Where you headed?" "The outpost east of here." "Prison shift, eh?" "They've requested more guards after what happened to the last outpost." "Yeah, I heard about that. Keep your eyes opened. No telling what's out there anymore." "I will." Alyssa continued heading east after the chat with the soldier, stopping every now and then and turning her head as she got the strangest feeling she was being watched but continued onward once she saw nothing but passing soldiers.

[grimmhallows]

The Librarian couldn't help but smile as the woman smooth talked her way through the next checkpoint with ease. Scribbling with his quill, he found now that she was going beyond where he could travel without help; deciding now would be an excellent time to try to communicate with the young lady. Pulling a small page from the sleeve of his robe, he whispered to it without speaking. On it formed some words, glowing. Looking at the lady he folded the piece of paper and let it go. Once it caught the breeze, it glowed softly before racing down at lightning speeds to strike at the stone; it even cut the stone where it struck.

On it, written in gold.
"Salutations.
I am The Librarian, and I would greatly like to ask your help. Specifically, I seek knowledge. Knowledge is truly power in this world, after all. I would first like to know your name.
I will meet you in person shortly. If you do not wish to meet, I understand. I will be waiting in the alley to your right.
You have 40 seconds to be there.
I look forward to meeting you.
The Librarian"

[Elena]

Alyssa stopped and saw the writing on the stone. Rubbing her hands into her eyes she shook her head. "I have got to start laying off the drugs." Dismissing it as a hallucination, Alyssa continued into the outpost and searched the place. Coming across a holding cell she discovered one of her locked up friends being held behind the bars, knocking on them once she saw the place was deserted to capture his attention. "Hey, idiot, wake up! I'm here to get you out."

[Ayen]

A young woman with short jet-black hair with dark chocolate brown eyes lifted her head up from the corner. Her legs were held up to her chest and her face was buried in her knees prior to being called. The woman looked like she was recovering from a massive hangover, which made no sense considering this place didn't have a drop of alcohol to think of. Recognizing the voice she began to pull herself up to her feet, still weary that she was hearing things she wasn't willing to go over to the bars just yet.

“Alyssa? Is that you?”

[Elena]

Alyssa opened up the holding cell's door and tossed in a second Crimson Vulture uniform he stole from one of the other guards she took out on her way to the holding cell. They weren't getting out of here without conflict unless they were wearing disguises, and they only had so long until the soldier she took out and hid away was found. "Hurry up and put the uniform on we don't have much time."
