Caliban "Cal" Leandros

All that work, and it had been for nothing. They were here, and they were ready to collect what was due. And while Cal may have fought alongside his brother to keep his family at bay, Caliban had taken a different choice. Caliban had known how hopeless it was to resist. He'd known it for a long time, only Niko had done all he could to tell him otherwise.

But things changed. People changed. Demons changed. All hope had long been lost at the very moment he'd realised that escape was an impossibility. Tumulus was a bigger place than you could imagine. And one explosive wasn't ever going to be enough to rid the world of their kind.

His kind.

They killed for fun, and this was exactly what it was. Red eyes. Pale skin. No, red too. Almost black. The blood had long since become a second skin. One he wasn't willing to give up so easily.

A sound as sharp as blades, and just as likely to draw blood. Caliban was speaking in a language that turned pale heads and red eyes towards him. The area glows grey as each and every one of them open a gate of their own. And then the area is deserted, leaving nothing but bodies in their wake. The fun had died out the moment the sheep had.

The scenery changes around them. A reset. It's Central Park again, and already people are screaming. Caliban sneers with an expression to rival the creatures around him.

"Unworthy."

Nik? NIKO.

[another door is kicked open]

Uh, Nik? You're supposed to be the genius, so any idea of what the hell's going on?

[ooc: ffff so the wish was for the auphe to have never turned up/them to have a normal life. and thus, here it is. and they've just arrived too. D= notes: cal's now only 18 and finishing school. niko's still an over-educated nerd and health nut. and the boys have been living in austin, texas for the past few years. sophia free (yes, she's still alive and kicking. drinking. whatever) ENJOY.

So first he turns up. Then the cat follows him in. And now they come back with fucked up memories.

It's meant to work in three's, right?

I guess it's time we talk.

So what the fuck is all the complaining about? Sure, you ended up stuck at school again. So what? It's not like anyone died or anything.

Did make me kind of wish I had a camera though.

[private to niko || unhackable]

~~What the fuck was-~~

~~Did you really-~~

Any good?

[ooc: fff this post follows after the brothers wonderful night out, killing monsters in the underground. Also. Placeholder post? BBS. I just needed to get this up before I forgot.]

[a rush of air that starts and stops suddenly; a gate opening]

What the fuck?

[a growl. yes really. and another attempt at opening a gate]

Shit.

[all goes silent for a while, before there's an almost silent laugh]

Well, it looks like school's out. Always good to know. And me without anywhere to go.

[sniff sniff]

Interesting.

[ooc: So. Cal's been affected in terms of never having left Tumulus. He's been there round and about a decade now. ...so, ten days, earth time. 8D For those who know the series? Think Darkling. Only, he's doing it because he wants to, and not because it's a job. And with his babysitters still in a galaxy far far away, he's off to find something else to do. So in short, avoid the blood-covered, angry-looking mess! ~~may be some npc death to follow~~ Also. Assume PB is nearer his thirties? ~~/too lazy to icon hunt~~]

…you have got to be shitting me.

What is this; some kind of cosmic fucking justice? I did what I had to do. Things are better off this way.

[rustling sounds; a hunt for his device]

Where the fuck is- There.

…

Right. Which ones of you are left? Niko. Loman. George...both of you. Holly. Rose. Arion. Consider that a role call. It's the only one you're getting from me.

Cyrano, I swear, if you're gone now, I'm finding a way to bring you here just to kick your ass.

So they had to go with the straw kind instead of the cash-filled corpses then. Suppose it makes sense in a place where dollars mean fuck all.

Hey, Nik. Heading out. Be back later.

Cyrano? If you were taking in strays again, I've got some news.

What the fuck is up with this city? Actually, don't answer that. I don't care anymore.

~~They're getting out of here, no matter what it takes.~~

I don't fucking care if you think this is 'meant to happen' or not. Are you on this ship?

Where are you?

[ooc: So that's...Niko, Rose, and two others so far, yes?]

Over with? Good.

[Private//Hackable]

So apparently there's something wrong with nothing happening for a while. Is a break too much to ask for?

And with her next door too...

What now? Wait and hope they never meet? Warn her, even though she probably already knows? Avoid them both, even though they'd both be able to find me in seconds, if they felt like it?

Fuck.

Is it possible to have two first times? I really can't work out which was really first. Charm back home, or Rose here.

I was here for six months before I...him...we ended up having sex with Rose. The one good thing that came out of that whole curse day. There was blood, then a shower, and then she was there. I couldn't get enough of her. The sight, her scent, her taste. Shit, I remember every single bit of it.

But then I went home. Six months again, and then there was Charm. The best choice out of the lot of them. It was definitely better than taking a dip into the lake in Central Park. All I can remember is singing, soft skin and the smell of fresh clover.

And then there was Delilah. She's hot, she's strong, and she isn't about to get herself killed over me. She pretty much ordered it. In the middle of Columbia Presbyterian, on the hunt for Sawney's home, and she flat out demanded sex. The revenant feasting on one of the students kind of put a dampener on things though. Once we went back to her den though. Shit. She was about as opposite of Charm as you could get.

Why the fuck am I even talking about-

Shit!

[COMPUTER SMASH!]

[ooc: Sooo, if you want to bug the guy, it'll probably have to be in person. ... Though he'll be locked inside. Not.Going.Out.Again.EVER!

Both of you are carrying these.

This is the third day now, and nothings happened. That's a good sign, right? They haven't followed me through.

Shit. It still means that they'll be back home right now. ~~George-~~ Promise. She's not an idiot. She'd know to get out of there if they tried anything.

... Why now though? Why've they waited so long? Or why didn't they wait longer? ...I don't know anymore.

"All and everyone." He said- No, it said-

They're not touching any of them. I wont let them. You can't betray something if you didn't side with them in the first place.

...

Fuck. We'll be ready for them this time. They're not getting their claws on anyone. ~~They can't.~~

One, two, three...ten...fifteen.

[You didn't have to be 'supernatural' to be able to sense the fear there. Staring up to the rooftops of a nearby building, the tension is clear. Fight or flight. Or something else completely.]

Oh, shit.

[Turning on his heel, he looks toward the roof of the building opposite. Nothing.]

What the fuck are they-

...

Where am I?

[Gone? Hiding? Or was this another trick?]

[ooc: ~~Li fails. Epically.~~ Aaand I couldn't wait another day, apparently. 8D Cal's back and updated to the end of Madhouse as I may've told some of you already. So that's right from the Auphe appearing. Yep yep~ >=D If people are trying to avoid spoilers, maaay be best to avoid this one. That is all! ^^V

...shit.

It really happened then. And yesterday I-

This place is really starting to piss me off now. No, I change that. It's been doing that since I turned up here.

And all those people that we killed. I have no idea how many there were anymore. He lost- We lost count. There were kids. Fucking children. And we didn't care. I can still feel...

Fuck. And Arion. At least George will be there for him. She'll know what to do. I think.

And Rose. Jesus. I did that to her. She's a friend. Was a friend. I don't even know anymore.

Well done, Caliban. You've fucked things up to a level you've never seen before. It's never fit better.

Nik, I'm going out. ~~I don't want company.~~

~~I hate this fucking City.~~

[ooc: Strikes=Hackable. And thus it all sinks in =/ Cal will have left the apartment preeetty soon after midnight too. ~~Yes, I tried sleep...and failed. D=~~ ...if I disappear suddenly, it may be because sleep finally does hit me. ~~6-bloody-am and I'm not tired still.~~]

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 23:07:37 GMT

So, Arion? You're not moping about Sunday, are you? They'll all be back by now anyway. Except maybe the few who're still in pieces.

Hey, Nik. Thanks for helping clean up the mess.

Rose? Just blame the curse.

[ooc: Ohoh yes, VERY much cursed. ~~Though I couldn't go as far as sparkles and things~~ XD;; Considering emo!boy spent the Sunday doing two things he'd never go near otherwise, I really had to affect him with this one before the aftermath kicks in. 8D]

Well well well. Look at what we have here. An entire world and not a single one of them around.

And here I was, worried I might get bored.

Do as you're told and keep the merchandise safe. I wonder if this was part of their plans. No? Oh well~ I guess they'll just have to deal with it.

Sorry, big brother. I'd love to stay and shoot the breeze, but I've got places to go, worlds to destroy. Busy, busy, busy~

[ooc: Aaand Cal's back to being darkling!Cal again. 8D Still going to have some NPC slaughtering later between him and his future BFF, yes? ~~Shh, I didn't rip off the last line from the book. NEVER!~~

Cyrano, ~~it's good to-~~ ~~it was about time-~~ you disappear like that again and I'll have a bullet with your name on it. ~~You're okay though, right? Nothing big happened back home?~~

George. ~~Sorry for shooting-~~ You okay?

Kurama, better? Killed Loman yet? If you haven't, why the hell not?

Holly. Arion. ... Sorry about before.

And Loman is selling his friends.

Anyone else want to add to the list?
