Welcome to Gaia! ::

***Characters***
it used to be that all characters were new to The Wasteland. However, with the current situation, that would be difficult for other people to join on the main 'quest'. So instead, you can decide between two options: starting at The Hotel, or starting in the middle of The Wasteland as a misplaced entrant. In the future, there will be a third entry point, and possible a fourth.
PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE CHARACTER!!! (just so you know)

((I will start))

James stiffened at the noise outside his window, opening his eyes. He sat up and looked outside at The Wasteland. The gray expanse seemed to stretch on forever, until finally meeting with the dismal, starless sky. He had been in this hell long enough to know the ins and outs. There were never any stars, there was never any weather difference, the daytime sky was a pale blue-gray, and the nighttime sky was a dark blue, blemished only by the perpetual full moon. James hardly knew that time passed, except for the journal he kept in his bedside table. The sound came again and James threw his blankets off, jumping out of bed. He wore a white tank top and his dark blue jeans, the same clothes he had worn for the last 22 years. And somehow, they were always clean. It's not like there's anything to get them dirty, he thought. He walked over to the window, fists ready. The beasts hardly ever came this close to The Hotel, but every once in a while, a brave one might climb onto the front porch or something. James waited for another clue as to what the sound was, then a completely different sound hit his ears. It was familiar, he'd heard it quite often. It reminded him of a bullet going through water and tiny whistle blowing right after. It was the sound of a person falling into a bed from high up. It was the sound of a newcomer to The Wasteland.

James grabbed his coat from his bedbost and ran out of his room, heading upstairs to where he heard the noise. A girl stood in the hallway, looking at the number on her door, and she didn't see him as he walked up to her.
"Welcome," he said. "This is-" James was interrupted by the entrance noise again. Odd, he thought. They hardly ever happen this close to eachother.

((That was odd. It killed my post.))

Screaming the entire way down Amaya landed with a thud. Breathing heavily she tried to catch her breath as she rolled onto the floor. Standing shakily she ran to the door and screamed again when she was her name on it. With out thinking or pausing Amaya turned and ran down the hall looking for a stair case or elevator. Just some sort of exit. However from depriving her brain of oxygen she collapsed breathing heavily at the bottom of a stair case near a lobby.

((yeah, that was odd. i didn't do it, and i thought you had just deleted your post.hm...))

As James walked back up to his room, there was a third thud. What the Hell? he thought. There must really be something wrong here. If people keep coming so quickly, The Hotel will be filled up in a week! A black woman with long black dread locks and an vibrant green coat came up behind him and tapped his shoulder. "James!" she said in a thick Jamaican accent. "There's so many a-comin' tonight! You go get the girl downstairs, and I'll get the boy upstairs." James nodded. "Fine by me," he said, heading past her. He turned and walked backwards for a few steps. "Thanks, Attia," he called, then turned and went back downstairs to the girl.
