Foxi's Para-RP

[Foxi Doll]

"You say such odd things sometimes," Senaka laughed. Looking down at herself, she took quick stock of her pains, which were surprisingly few considering her recent brush with death. Gingerly, she managed to get to her feet, though she declined Ace's hand with a gentle brush.

"I may be weakened, but I still have my Noble pride to keep. However, thank you for the offer," she chided with a grin. As she walked with him, Senaka noticed how her body felt stiffer than normal, like she had finished running for many days with only a short rest to recouperate. Forcing herself not to baby her knee where a particularly deep bite had been, she managed to minimize the limp so that it was barely noticeable.

"Lead the way."

(Thanx, I've been trying to make an outfit that goes with my fox set, and this is the best I have so far. Glad you like it. ^'^)  

[Ace_Price]

"Actually first we have to get you changed into well our standard of normal I guess you could say. Ace leads Senaka to a bathroom and hands her some cloths "These were picked out by our staff so try on all of them and choose the one you like best while I wait out here." Ace closes the door andsits down on a bench waiting for Senaka to come out with her new look instead of the hospital patient cloths  

[Foxi Doll]

(I'm guessing you want me to pick what the new outfit is then? Too bad I'm doing it anyway, even if you had something in mind already. Not that I won't take your comments into consideration.)

Stopping almost made her stumble, but Senaka quickly caught herself before her legs buckled. With a grimace, she looked at the stack of clothes Ace handed her. Though she would have preferred to done her earlier outfit, she realized that it must have been destroyed from the snake beasts who were so eager to liquify her flesh. She was equaly happy that her traveling cloak at least had survived.

"Very well. I'll try not to take too long," she consented, turning to the bathroom.

Several minutes later, after a couple grunts and a few curses that no one could translate, Senaka stepped out of the room. Unlike her earlier appearance, her face was scrubbed clean and her silver hair was back in a loose braid. Tossing the towel she had used to dry her face, she closed the door behind her and looked at the man who waited for her. Subconsciously, she did a little twirl and a light blush twinged her cheeks as she presented herself for approval.

She had chosen to done the black slacks and ash grey shirt outfit. Though it was not as formal as most of the military around, she knew that it would definitely not mark her a civilian. The shirt was a little broader around the shoulders, so hung a little loosely on her frame, probably because the shirt had been intended for a man, but it didn't bother her. She had a slender frame and enjoyed the breathing room it provided. The pants were the opposite, a snug fit. She wondered how well they would last in the field, but knew humans were good for making sturdy clothing. Unlike all the rest of the staff around, she left the collar open a couple buttons, not liking the feel of it against her neck. A thin chain glinted half hidden beneath the collar. The only thing missing were the shoes. A couple pair sat in the room, she hadn't even tried them on. To compensate, she at least opted to wear the socks provided, but as a rule she generally didn't use them.  

[Ace_Price]

Ace blushes a bit seeing her come out and smiles at Senaka "It looks good on you but...where are the shoes?" Ace looks behined her in the bathroom seeing the sandals and shoes still in there "The socks are gonna get really dirty and aren't good for durability outside so are you shure you don't want to wear sandals or slippers atleast?" Ace looks at Senaka head to toe and smiles agian "I like it though even without shoes but uinfortunatly you can't go into most places withought them because....well its just not allowed it never has been sorry. You can wear slippers though if you want. There fuzzy and warm." Ace starts laughing as he explains them

((Thats alrite I knew you would and I can't really pick out something for girls cuz i'm not one. ^_^))  

[Foxi Doll]

Senaka looked down at her feet as she contemplated what to do. Finally she nodded and accepted the slippers on the condition that she be aloud to take them off if they were outside. It did not seem right to her, to have the direct contact with the earth separated by a layer of cloth. But she knew the customs of humans often changed faster than the wind, so bared with it for now.

"So, where are we going exactly?" she asked as she walked awkwardly at Ace's side. This was due in part from her still healing injuries. The rest was the sheer overwhelming sensations the slippers caused her toes. Most, if not all of the time, her feet were treated harshly and subject to all the elements. Once she put the fuzzys' on she wondered if her feet had died and went to heaven. Every once in a while she shivered from the wonderous thrill of plush cotton cushioning every step.  

[Ace_Price]

"Well I thought I would show you around parts of the city forn now but then well go do something fun after getting something to eat. I wonder if the amusement park is open today." Ace looks back seeing her face everytime she walked as the slippers rubbed against her feet "Feels nice huh? Oh and if you need to we can take a rest I mean you just got out of the hospital and I am off of work today so we have some time." Ace smiles and turns his cell phone off so they wont be bothered

((Kinda getting away from the plot a bit but some filler is always nice. ^_^ ))  

[Foxi Doll]

(And this sounds suspiciously like a date, lol)

"I've never been here before, so a tour might be beneficial to me," she thought aloud as she kept pace with the general. After a while she ceased endulging her feet and walked straight, no longer wanting to look as weak as she felt.

"I do not need rest just yet. Though I will try not to wait till it is too late to inform you when I do," Senaka said in a steady voice. Though proud, she knew she had limits and was always stubborn when admitting to them.

"So shall we start at the beginning? What is the name of this place?" she asked as she made a general sweep with her keen gaze. "I remember you saying it before, but for the life of me, I can't quite recall. It was something absurd, I remember."  

[Ace_Price]

((Eh who knows with our characters lol xd ))

"This city is called Washington D.C it is the last and only city left when the Humanes were the only species mon the planet with power and we still control the most power that is why we are still around. Unfortiunatly we haven't been able to expand and make more cities again due to other groups of species claiming it as their own land and we will soon most likely force them to move if needed." Ace frwons then looks up at the sky "Did you know that this country whatever you call it used to be called America and we were so smart we had actually made it into space but it seems the more intelligant we became the more destructive we became aswell."  

[Foxi Doll]

(I guess we'll just have to wait and see now, eh? ~'^)

Senaka tries not to laugh too hard as Ace explains the city's origins to her.

"I remember them well. Very ambitious, that generation." She looked up at the sky too. "It was sad that they could not better channel their anger and inner rivalries. This place would have survived better if they had," she murmured. Though it had been longer than she cared to admit, Senaka could clearly remember the nuclear wars that had literally shook the earth. In fact she was told by Noble scholars that the earth had slowed its rotation and now was closer to the sun by about a mile. It made sense now why these days were longer and hotter than she endured pre-war era.

Looking sidelong at Ace she added," What I call this place is home, no matter where I am. I do not care to name something that will be renamed before anyone truly knows it. But. . . I believe I have heard locals currently call it New Pangea."

(For the record, the land is one big continent. Pangea was a super continent in prehistoric times then split up and became the continents we know today. I figure if they keep moving away from eachother, they had to collide from the other side of the world, right? Anyway, just thought I'd clarify. And that happened a few thousand yeard before this story anyway.)  

[Ace_Price]

((I know what Pangea is....damn 10th grade Earth Space stare anyways that means its been million upon millions of years since present day Earth and the Earth is going top freeze over in a bit due to orbital effects due to plate movement....wow were screwed))

Ace looks around and buys two caramel apples "Have one." Their really good oh and nukes arent that strong compared to other weopons we had...I wonder if they will ever come back?...The other Humans I mean. We had reached space along time ago and traveled to habbital planets aswell so America is still around.....in a sence on another planet somewhere but my goal is to get the country back to its proper glory."  

[Foxi Doll]

(well I don't think they have to worry about freezing just yet, I mean they are a mile closer to the sun than before. Hence all the deserts. Although I bet the poles are rather cooler, more like lush forests and such now. But they are very far away and I don't think we'll be getting to them in this story. For now, be content we are alive and in a desert. k? ^'^)

Senaka walked at Ace's side silently for a while. Looking at the caramel apple, she took a small nibble still thinking on what Ace admitted.

"I'd say I wish you luck in that endeavor, but I do not wish to lie to you. Your ambitions are grant, but your goal is far beyond your capabilities. This world cannot return to any semblence of its former self." Taking a bite she snapped the string of caramel that clung to her mouth with a slender finger. "Not in a hundred of your lifetimes."

Raising a hand to block the sun from her eyes, Senaka looked up at the ancient remnants that always broke the horizen. They were ancient structures, from an age or two ago. Some believed they were crafts to space that landed here, others believed they were great towers of power. Either way, now they were rotten skeletons of black metal that glinted in the sun and jutted out from the sand like the remains of some vast creature long dead. It was a forbidden place shrouded in mystery.

"If they knew what awaited them upon their return, I don't know that they would come back," she murmured. Honesty had always been a problem for her, she had a hard time saying anything but. It made things easier she supposed than trying to keep track of what should be said to whom and not said to another. But she felt a little sad saying this to the boy before her, whose hopes were in the stars as he prepared for a homecoming that would surely never come.

"Forgive me child. I'm afraid my tongue does not bite well."  

[Ace_Price]

Ace inspite of hearing this turns and smiles at her "I know it is a lost cause but we are already back in space...but we can't really travel through it yet so we are gonna work here on Earth. Ace stops and sits down on a shaded bench "You know Humanes were not the first species on this planet right? I mean we have been here longer than any other creature so far and probably will outlast any today but the ones before us taught us the most of how small we are. About three-hundred-eighty-seven million years ago we believe...hopefully we are correct there were creatures called Dinosaurs that ruled this planet. They were primitive as we would call any species nowadays for not haveing technology in their lives and were not intellegant at all. They only went off of natural instincts but no history or fossils remain anymore and these things were beauties on as they were bigger than our buildings in this city and were as strong as our tanks easily but not all of them of course. They died sixty-five million years before I was born due to a meteor about six miles in diameter that kiled ninety-nine percent of species on the planet which allowed Humanes to be created. We have strived to go into space for its marvelouse mysteries and wonders and achieved it. We even stoped the meteors headed to wipe out the entire Earth and the moon with our technology which no magic as you call it could do." Ace sighs again as he finishes his apple and tosses the stick away "I may be boring you and your probably getting annoyed by me talking about out achievments but I came from the past hundreds of millions of years ago where this desert used to be a city where there was aot of gras and everything else so sorry. anyways back to the point even tho dinosaurs being as strong as they were compared to us the weak Humanes they died out by one meteor so what chance did we have?"

((Really really long post I forgot what I was writing about almost half way in))  

[Foxi Doll]

"I see." Looking over at Ace, Senaka's gaze softened. "I did not know that you came from another time. My condolences for your loss."

"However, even then you forget one principle thing. I am far older than you still. This history lesson, though filled with holes that I can easily fill in for you, is not knew to me. I was around when you began to grow as a culture. I was born. . . " She paused then because she honestly didn't remember when her birthday was. "Sometime in the year 3000." Smiling as she finished, Senaka gazed at Ace with a timelessness that settled over her.

"Unlike you, I have lived through the ages. Seen with my eyes the wars and destruction. The peace and renewal. I have been here when all others have fled."

Looking down at her caramel apple again she asked," Would you like me to tell you about it?"  

[Ace_Price]

Ace smiles at her and almost hugs her pausing and refixing himself "Sorry it's just that when the nuke hit me I thought I was lucky to be alive and well but I have found that to be an error as I have ended up being here. I would like to know what happened after the very first nuckleear war if you can remember that far back. Also could you tell me about the last time you had seen the Humanes? What they were like and how much technology they had before well all this happened."  

[Foxi Doll]

(you know, thinking on it, when Senaka said she was born in 3000, I forgot to ad b.c. I hope you realized this yes? Well anyways. >.<)

"give me a moment. That was all very long ago," she answered with a subtle nod. Closing her eyes, Senaka sifted through her memories of past ages. Her body went very still as she let her mind drift along the time-lines.

"The first major war was in the year 2013. It was after the disappointment that 2012 had not occurred. No big earthquakes, no floods or tsunami's. Not even an excess of normal things like tornadoes and hurricanes. Several countries, America included, fought over a middle eastern country because they found a stockpile of oil. It was the last source known and each power wanted control of it. Tension gave way to anger, and anger to violence. War followed once a European country betrayed its allegiance. Many died."

Shuddering slightly, she moved forward in time slightly, her shoulders growing tense from bringing forth the memories. "Two ages passed, a hundred thousand years each. War devastated the living and tore the land asunder. My people tried to hide away, fearing such evil would corrupt them. I tried to save them. Those who wanted peace, but could not survive without fighting. They began a movement that started the age of peace. Technology arose again and humans once more explored beyond their realm. Some rose to space, wanting to start anew somewhere else, or too tired to remain and survive. Those who stayed worked with a few Nobles, unknowing who they were, and rebuilt their world. But with this industry, those who want power are bound to bring violence."

Tears silently flowed down Senaka's cheek. She seemed lost in her mind, reliving times long forgotten.

"I tried to warn them. Tried to save them from themselves. But humans have a dark nature when power is at stake. The others, those who are not human and not Noble, came in their own way soon after. Some were thought to be creatures sent from space, like explorers stranded here. Some thought they were experiments created by overzealous scientists. Many still believed they were remnants of the creatures that used to inhabit this place, evolved to endure in our ever changing world."

Breathing out a sigh, she ended it with a chuckle. "The funny thing is, they were all right. At least part of the time."

"But it didn't stop the territory wars that began. Humans and Nobles, fought everything else. Nucs weren't far behind. On the eve of what was to be a deciding battle, a meteor shower rained fire down from the night sky. It became a trigger that started the re-colliding of the continents. Fighting was forgotten as everyone tried to merely stay alive while the very earth beneath them fell away or was swallowed by water. It took several years for the aftershocks of one major quake to dissipate. When the collision stopped, seven hundred years had passed. Those who remained tried to rebuild, but it was as if the earth had decided she had had enough. Very little land is fertile and sand makes for poor building ground."

"And you are the first group I have seen in over three ages since that have the technological advances that could meet your ancestors."

Opening her eyes again, Senaka looked over at Ace. A pleading look filled her eyes as they still leaked a few tears.

"Please General. Do not make their mistakes again. Do not seek power, and do not use these means. Or I fear you will meet the same end."

(O.O wow this got totally longer than I'd thought to make it. Sorry. lol)
