PUBLIC EVENT:
[i]In the misty streets overgrown with mutated foliage of Sector-2, a hollow, almost tragic roar moans through the air, it's origin unknown.
Mutated people and animals perk their gnarly ears and naked heads to listen in to this new sound.
For a long moment, there is silence...
Suddenly, a booming crash is heard as a distant skyscraper collapses into the streets below it in a cloud of smoke and mist, and the denizens of Sector-2 scatter in a frenzy of grey bodies and animalistic noises. They hide under dead cars and among large roots and lichen, their glowing eyes peering out from their covers in curiosity of what will happen next.
Once more, there is a solitary growl that echoes through the air. In the mutants' minds, this is the sound of a coming apocalypse.[/i]

Zhackie walks down the semi desolate streets of Sector 2, looking out for mutants along the way. Strange, they feel emptier than they should be. He treks along with his hands in his coat pockets and his rifle and longboard strapped unto his back. He saw birds fly in the distance, if that wasn't enough to spike his interest it was certainly the sound, he could have sworn it was a howl. He wanted to know what was lurking. (Rom is not present, he's back at the squat-flat chewing soccer balls)
-
You hear another noise in the distance, like a large blast of energy, followed by the crumbling of falling stone or cement. Another roar is heard this time, though more aggressive.
-
((Had to sleep)) Zhackie sprints over to the source of the noise.

Edited by HickoryHamMike: 9/8/2015 4:37:09 AMAs you sprint through the streets towards whatever emanated the sound, a thick cloud of ashen dust and mist billows in front of you as you enter one particular street which is covered in rubble, the sinister mass of gas stretching high over your head. It must have come from the fallen skyscrapers... There is an eerie silence as the grey cloud slowly rolls toward you. Then, from behind the husk of an obliterated building engulfed in the cloud, the silhouette of a gigantic mechanical appendage swings into view, dimmed behind the smoke. It stomps down into the cement below it with a deafening crumble, and past it swings another gigantic appendage. They are a pair of legs. You cannot see what walks upon them, for the cloud in front of you stretches too high over your head to see what it could be.
-
"Holy shit" Zhackie mutters as he realizes those are legs. He steps back slowly as he continues to observe, whatever he has come across. He opens his coat with all it's hidden compartments inside, ready to reach for whatever he may need.
-
Almost straight after you speak, the striding gait of the mechanical colossus slows to a halt. Both of the metal toe-feet are planted in the ground next to each other. A low, synthetic moan drones from high in the air, above the cloud of smoke. With the churning of metal and carbon-fiber tendons, what seems to be the silhouette of a massive, hammer-like head slowly turns to gaze at you with four glaring red eyes from high behind the cloud, possibly more than 100 feet above you. The moan returns, but now rises in intensity, as if in anger, and you can sense this gigantic beast's entire body now turning to face you.
-
[i]I am so fuĉking out of here[/i] Zhackie thinks as he sprints the opposite direction. As he does he reaches into his coat and pulls out a reserve of KAP8 and takes it.(-9 KAP8)
-
The gigantic machine strides in pursuit, its heavy feet crushing the road just a few feet behind you with each step. It roars in agitation as it moves, and leans down toward you, out from the fog. You now see it has two pairs of arms as huge as its legs, and a torso heavy with silvery metal plates, along with a humungous cannon mounted on one shoulder. One of its colossal hands opens as it moves towards you, ready to clench you into its metal grasp.
-
He hears the crashing heavy steps behind him. He looks over his shoulder as sees the hand closing in. [i]That thing gets it's hand on me I'm dead[/i]. He teleports, location: where he first spotted the beast. He materializes inches from the ground and lands softly on the concrete floor, several meters away from the beast facing away. [i]The others would need to know about this.[/i]
-
The giant slows to a halt once more, swinging its head around in confusion, searching for you. It growls in anger as it does so, and throws one gigantic fist through the side of a nearby skyscraper, sending glass and cement scattering all over the surrounding street. It tilts its head back and lets out an enraged roar towards the sky.
-
[i]There is no way I can take that thing alone.[/i] As it is still agitated and confused, Zhackie slowly backs up and lurks into a nearby alley, looking over to the beast from it. It had to be here for a reason, and Zhackie concluded that the best thing he can do at the given situation was find out what that reason was. He now observes the details on the giant robotic beast, getting a sense of familiarity from the structure and exo-skeleton. [i]Another Tin Man?[/i]
-
[b]Zhackie sees Phantym crouching near the ground, apparently examining something[/b]
-
Footsteps. Zhackie walks over to the crouched person. "Oi, you heard something right?"
-
[b]He stands up, wiping his hands off as he does, and nods[/b]
-
"And what were you looking at just now?"
-
[b]He shows you a vial containing dust in it[/b]
-
Zhackie thinks a bit, a scarf covering his throat and lack of verbal communication up to this point, is this guy a mute? "Tell me about it"
-
[b]He shrugs and points toward where the dusts came from Nervy on the ground is what appears to be a mutant body, and the dust covers him[/b]
-
"I do know a bit of sign, if that makes your life easier"
-
[b]He shrugs, suggesting he doesn't know sign[/b]
-
Ash runs up with a confused look on his face "Hey! You guys heard that sound too right?"
-
"I did"
-
"Well you have any idea what the heck it was?" Ash adjusted his beanie and wiped his brow
-
"No clue"
-
"Whatever it is, it's big" Ash held out his hand "Names ash, Ash Rider."
