Zachary had been making good time getting to the park, but a dozen voids greatly slowed down his progress, moreover, his arm had been feeling weird, and when he removed the armour he noticed that it was bleeding. turns out the feind's claws had gone rights through it as if it wasn't really there at all. But that hardly mattered, he had a nightmare to find and kill. Or at least he did, until something more... interesting... happened. Other dreamers were already there. Zachary had though that this was world was merely due to depression caused by his wife and kid leaving him, but he had always, for the months he had known the shift, been alone. Now there were other people, randomly, and they happened to be the people from the coffee shop. Zachary quickly hid himself and watched for a while. An idea was forming in his head and for it to work he had to burn the images of these people into his head, he would probably be seeing them again soon. After a sufficient amount of time had passed he took his leave, without any of them having even known he was there. He returned to his body to await the morning, for with the coming day he would begin this plan.
((I have spoken with fenix, and he agrees to what I am going to do next, so though how you react to my plan is up to you, but it has been okayed, so its not like I'm god-modding or being a jerk (well, maybe a jerk > biggrin ) but it is acctually going to make things far more interesting from here on out. Oh and you could consider me the bad guy (antagonist?) if you want to. But on that note, my character wont show up again for a while))

[[I sure took my time getting back into the story didn't I? I apologize for my late return. X3]]
Orpheus, after a day of misadventures, had made it to his apartment, and had made himself comfortable on his coach. He soon found himself drifting off into a deep sleep, and reality had begun to dissipate. He had been on his way to the Shift, which was against his wishes. He had alerted himself, trying to avoid all confrontation if possible. He made his way down the bleak, colorless streets, and as he walked he noticed a group of normal looking people. In fact, they almost seemed familiar, until he realized he had seen those same people before.
Orpheus had been tailing along the group of dreamers, in the hopes of aligning himself with people who understood his plight. As he made his way over to the group, he noticed the Voids swarm them. It was far too dangerous for him to run in, so he took a different action, he had kept himself hidden out of sight to avoid catching the attention of the inhuman menaces.
As they all turned to run, one of them, a man he had seen at the coffee shop before, had been attacked and killed by a number of Fiends. He could hardly believe what had just taken place, but he found that there would be no use in lamenting in such a place, and that he should focus on getting away from the current location and with the group that had taken off. The phrase, 'Safety in Numbers' made a rather appealing notion to him. He quietly yet swiftly made a run from his hiding place and towards the direction of the other Dreamers. He wasn't really close to them, but he had heard on of them announce that they'd be going to the park.

Jacob was out of breath, trying to get a hold on himself after what had just happened and sat down on a broken park bench. The bench was missing the legs on one side so it was more of an angle. "Are you two going to be alright? I know seeing that must have been ha..." A sound caught him mid sentence, a sound like footsteps. "Shh... someone's coming." He raised his weapon in defence, waiting to see who it would be.
((Sorry for letting the shift stop for such a long while, I've been working ten hour shifts monday through thursdays and my transportation has been rather hectic. Nikorasu and I have been planning out many things since then and have come up with a lot of details to add to the Shift, so it would be amazing to get to see many of them initiated and seen. Trust me, it'll be worth it ^_^ ))
((P.S. Monoscie. they were fiends who killed Leon, not voids ;D))

((GUESS WHO'S BACK!!!!!))
"I'm fine" Ren assured. She narrowed her eyes in parania and surveyed the area, walking backwards to the park so that they could not be ambushed. There was a human shape darting about. She swung her mace in the direction of the new guy and her eyes narrowd. She pulled up the hood to hertrenchcoat and snarled.

[[My bad G, I'll edit it, right away. XD]]
"Woah, woah, woah! Hold it!", Orpheus screamed while narrowly avoid getting wasted by the mace swung in his direction. Regaining his composure he approached the group waving his hand as a gesture to show that he meant no harm. "I'm sorry for stalking you all like that, but you saw what happened back there, I didn't want anyone else to get hurt.", Immediately after completing his sentence, Orpheus kicked himself in his mind. He didn't need to open up old wounds, especially seeing how fragile being in the Shift makes a person. "I apologize.", he solemnly said.
He had admitted to himself that being around more people put his mind at ease. It gave him a sense of security knowing that if something were to happen, there'd be people who could help out. "I was wondering if I could tag along with you all. I mean, it would be a lot safer than travelling alone in a place such as this. You understand, don't you. By the by, my name is Orpheus. I've already met a couple of you already, yes?", he had shyly said, giving a slight bow.

Jacob was more at ease knowing it was another dreamer. "I believe so and if my memory serves me, you were the one flashing photos at the coffee shop... Speaking of which, Serrenedy, is your sister a dreamer as well or is it just you?"
((Short post, kind of a bump, and Merry Christmas everyone ^_^))

Sam barely moved at all for a couple of minutes from the time she entered the shift. Taking few deep breaths, she slowly lifted herself off the cold, hard ground. She looked around, and felt panic rising within her. This is hell. And I'm dead. she thought to herself. Looking down, she saw at her feet a bowgun, and a quiver. She carefully picked it up, and managed to chuckle a bit, feeling like she was thrown into some nightmarish videogame. This is so messed up... she muttered, strapping them on her and equipping it. She remembered seeing this weapon somewhere, but she couldn't quite remember where. Then she heard something that made her heart freeze. It wasn't just one growl either. She turned to her back, and saw a group of demonic dogs staring at her, almost smiling with all their teeth showing. Crap, they better not have rabies... she took a few steps back, and the dogs growl even more as they crouched, ready to pounce on their prey. Slowly she placed her finger on the trigger, hoping to God she'd be walking away from this without a scratch.
((So sorry I just posted now, RL kept me busy.))

((It sucks when parents are around too make sure you're still groundyed))
Serrenedy snorted at the question. "If you can call it dreaming. She never sleeps and she's a worse killjoy then Leon was...maybe now I'll get to kill something." She mussed she looked at Orpheous oddly. She was tring to remember him through her haze of sugar. She smiled at him suddenly. "CAMERA GUY!" She hugged him. "Hey dude,you can allways hang with me, you are like the only person I met today that's any FUN". She charged her mace all the same,but kept care to keep it from shocking him. He seemed to put her in good spirits, and better-non phycotic ones this time. "You know,my last boyfriend wanted me to be a model...actuallly,Sal found out he wanted me for kiddy porn, but it's the thought that counts!"

Rolling his eyes at Serrenedy's actions Jacob let out a sigh. "Now that we've got that all taken care of, what should we do now? The park is a nice place and all but it wouldn't be wise to stick around for much longer. After all, there's a nightmare nearby." He was quite certain which one it was too. They didn't run that far from where leon had died.
((Every little bit helps. Remember.. gots big plans but I can't get us to those points without you guys biggrin Also...Muddy poem? And did you forget about your color coding? lol))

Sally shot the whelp in the face face from inside where she was. It screamed for help and she scowled. This may take some time to get through. She jumped out on the ledge. Alone, whelps wern't that bad, but the feinds cirling outside her window may be a bit of a problem. "THe one time I acutally need the idiot" She snarled. She begain to walk across the windowsills, much more careful then her sister.

As Zachary was returning to his place of rest he noticed up ahead some fiends acting different, circling the side of a building, snarling and growling. He glanced up and noticed a girl climbing across the window sills. This acctually looked like a very good oppourtunity so he started firing off volley after volley into the distracted fiends. Caught off-guard, the fiends were heavily wounded, that is, the ones that weren't killed, which means practically all of them instantly turned towards Zachary, snarling. This could be a little bit of a hassle. He muttered as the feinds started to circle him, suddenly they no longer seemed all that injured. Nothing to do but bash some skulls now, he released the the spikes in his mechanical fist and lunged on the feinds.
((Just as a reminder, my entire left arm is my weapon, but because of my armor it is hard to tell.))

Jacob looked at all of them, getting little to no response from any of them. "Alright.. we could start with looking for Sally, or waiting till she falls asleep if she hasn't already. Right now a larger group would mean better protection until morning if that's alright for all of you." He hoped that at least someone would acknowledge the plan.

Sally looked at the man drawing the fiends away. He was getting wasted. She sat on her sill to watch for a while before scoffing. It was official, he was a worse idiot then ren...but, he was only in this predicament for trying to help her. With a sigh she turned back around and snuk back to the fray. She jumped down on the back of a fiend and shot its friends in their heads. There were still a few,and they were re-circling. The one she rode on seemed to notice the danger if it tried to harm her, for her legs were wrapped around it's midsection. "So...idiot. Who told I couldn't handle it? Or did you assume a little girl needed you." Though snarky, it was her way of saying 'thanks'.
"I doubt the killjoy's gonna fall asleep" Ren shrugged. "But we can check my place if it makes you feel better." She twirled her mace. "Besides, less people means more...fun".

"It has nothing to do with whether you needed my help or not, it simply isn't safe for girls such as yourself to wander the streets alone at this time of night." Zachary spun around just as a feind lunged at him and punched it out of the air, the spikes literally ripped the thing in half, "Besides, who said I'm helping you? I just don't like these things, although YOUR help is much appreciated." He said with a smirk, and fired off a couple vollies, by now, the remaining feinds took the hint that they were outmatched and took off, the whelps continued to circle simply waiting for the two of them to leave so the whelps could feast upon the corpses. "Meh, the war was worse." Instinctively he reached up and grasped his left shoulder. "Anyways, where you headed? I saw some others at the park, but with the nightmare wandering around that area I doubt they stuck around there for long."

not safe for girls Sally noted. Sexist douche. She smirked. "Well, I just don't think it's safe for mindless men to be out here alone." She quipped, before turning back the way she was headed. "My sister took off with a new boy-toy, and actually, the park is exactly where I'm headed. If the nightmare isn't Ren...she'll be having to much fun killing it."
