[The Murder Game Series] Murder: The Ties that Bind

Claire let out a sigh rubbing one of her gloved hands against her face, the leather of the fingerless brown glove squeaking a bit when it dragged along the skin of her cheek, the soles of her brown combat boots clicking on the tiles beneath them as she made her way to the main foyer of the Museum, where Chris had told her the rest of the civilians he had picked up should be waiting. " Well isn't this great... another damn nightmare to deal with, as if Raccoon City and Rockford Island weren't enough.. " Claire whispered under her breath, she knew she was signing up for something fucked up when Chris had offered to pull a few strings to have her come along on one of his missions, but she wasn't expecting the horrors she had seen on the streets of Vegas, it was utter bedlam, and quite frankly, she was fucking pissed, as much as she was shaken up. Claire had heard about the "Vegas Incident" just before Chris had sent his invitation to her, with no chance to do any research into what exactly was going on, it was either deny an offer to see her brother again and watch from home, or suck it up and head in blindly, and her headstrong nature is why she chose the latter, and was why she was currently in this Museum. " Why don't you go see some of the other survivors I rounded up, go introduce yourself, we'll be with them for a while. " Chris had said, practically shooing her away from the makeshift headquarters he and his BSAA buddies had set up in one of the exhibit rooms. Although she would most certainly rather stick by her brother during this mess, she would also rather listen to his orders than start an argument with him already, which would be the last thing she wanted.


After a few moments more, she finally made her way into the grand foyer, her eyes scanning about it as she took in the surprising amount of civilians that occupied it, but stranger than the amount of them, was exactly what the hell some of them were. She had seen B.O.W's before, really disgusting and out of this world mutations of natural organisms, but some of the... beings... in this lobby looked like they walked right off the set of a blockbuster Sci-fi film. There were some normal looking people, like the clearly inebriated detective who had just stumbled in with a bottle of wine in his hands, and a revolver big enough to give her Beretta M-9 size envy, or the noticeably more gruff detective that had just lit a cigarette by the base of the stand holding the dinosaur bones. A few also appeared to be human, but dressed as if they had walked out of one of those conventions Claire was always interested in going to. Like the sharply dressed man leaning against a pillar, he was in a full red suit and had some weird sort of latex ski mask that was also a similar shade of red, or the pissed off looking punk chick over in the corner who was wearing mechanical gauntlets nearly bigger than her, not to mention her neon pink hair that contrasted from everything else she was wearing. Then there was the alien looking type she had first saw, his skin, should it be called that in his "culture" were varying shades of grey, and he wore large, rounded, blue, metallic armor that looked too heavy to move in, holding what seemed to be a futuristic assault riffle.



Deciding she would rather not give herself the headache of introducing herself to everyone at once, Claire moved over to the reception desk, trying to move slowly as if to reduce the noise of her footsteps, almost trying to hard too prevent drawing attention from herself. Luckily, without incident, she reached the office chair behind said desk, leaning back in it with some sort of grimace on her face.
" This is going to be a hell of day, isn't it...? " She though to herself, watching the foyer from her post, seeing if anyone else would end up joining the "civilians" that had gathered here.

After shaking the hand of the man who approached him, Bigby got up. The name didn't rang any bells, and he didn't smelled like a fable. "Hello, Space... Dandy. Can't say I heard a lot about you". Looking to the ground, Bigby noticed that he was barefoot. His head was hurting. He looked back at the man in front of him. "So, you, have any idea of what's going on? I'm trying to make sense of it, but as you can see, I'm not quite... Organized."





@Flaming Centurion
 
He looked around noticing everyone else preoccupied, him casually walking by Chris Redfield with his arm brushing up against his, but the detective finding no issue with this as he, in his tipsy state, didn't exactly care if he ticked off someone. He noticed the blue knight that was leaning against a wall, seeing him without a sword in his scabbard with him walking over towards him and leaning up against the wall next to him, taking a swig from the bottle he had "liberated" from the "lively" club that he was originally spending his time in. He twirled his revolver in his hand, the small but lethal pistol spinning around his index finger as he looked to Chrom and let out a sigh.


You okay, bud?*hic* I heard kids like you cosplay for the fun of it, but you look like you're not having much fun. You also don't have a complete outfit...where's your suord?*hic* I mean...sword...you know? That thing that you use to stab people? All "woosh woosh swoosh stab!"





It appeared as though the detective's nature was showing a little more loosely the more that he was getting drunk, him rather casually holding up the revolver he was holding in his left hand and waving it about in front of himself. His gun being haphazardly pointed at multiple other people in the museum while he was drunkenly trying to converse with Chrom. With him waving his revolver around, he pointed it up lazily and accidentally fired off a bullet from his gun, the device letting out a surprisingly loud *BANG* with the smell of burnt gunpowder and smoke filling the immediate vicinity of Adachi and Chrom, him only laughing cheerfully and putting his revolver down by his side as he looked up to see his bullet got lodged right into the ceiling of the first floor area and the underside of the deck above.





Sorry folks! No need for*hic* alarm! Just have a bit of an easy trigger finger! You keep on going masky and alien guy!
 
@Flaming Centurion[/URL]
He frowns as Bigby hasn't heard of him, then smiles and looks on the bright side that he's got a potential friend and someone to talk to.


"Well, I was just chased by some Zombies, but that's all I know so far. I came to Vegas for boobies and booty. But all I've gotten so far is the death of my closest friends who were also my crew."


Dandy Sighs.

*sighs as I notice all the people...or things... interacting with one another* Man what I mess I got my self into. *rubs my head lightly with my giant gauntlet*

I nod and say, "Alright, Dallas. Do you have any clue what's going on? Because I honestly have no idea, or, even where exactly I am." I have my helmet off, slung under my arm, so he can see my face, covered in scars on the right side.

*I was speechless when I saw the mans face... What in the world is he? I tried my best not to question what he is, after all, it looks like he could tear my arms off, "I've been asking myself the same question... All I know is that we're in some infected hellhole, and we are all fighting for our lives..." I said, while running a hand through my slicked-back hair.*

"Hey, shit, hey man! You, you're not one of the crazies, are you?" Luke called out to a man wearing a red mask and a red suit. It was a strange get-up, but it'd have to do if Luke was going to figure out what was going on. Besides, the man didn't seem hell-bent on attacking others, so he was okay in Luke's book.

Clementine was in a museum. An actual museum. What the hell was going on? First she had seen Molly, then some insane men and women with red crosses all over their faces in place of walkers. She held her axe at her side, and looked around. The last person she had seen was Luke, disappearing after taking a nap. After he was taken, Clementine had felt this strange...thing. Thing. She couldn't describe it.


It was just a thing.


Clementine looked around the museum, seeing that Molly had disappeared among the crowd of talking citizens. She saw a large thing in what appeared to be some sort of space suit, who was talking to a man in a clown mask. Then there was the robotic looking woman, who was standing off to the side quietly. Then there was the whole conversation that was full of what looked like a detective, a stereotypical one at least. He had a beard and a white shirt on, with a black tie hanging from his neck. That man was talking to another strange looking one. Then she saw the two cops, a woman and a man, who were both attentively looking around. Clementine began pushing through the crowd, looking for Molly, Luke, and whoever else she happened to know.

I nod and say, "Well, if this is a disease, it probably won't affect me the way it does you, but, it's gotta be Levo-Amino based, which means I may very well just have an allergic reaction and die if I get it." I pull of my Omni-Tool and check my kinetic barriers, deciding to reset them anyways. They fizzle out before regenerating and turning invisible, effectively giving me protection against incoming projectiles.

Bigby took a better look around, and only now noticed how the museum was full of people. Soldiers, a little girl, weird people, masked people.... Secret agents? He wasn't sure. He also noticed that he hadn't introduced himself to the man in front of him. "Sorry about it. You must be having a rough time. Name's Bigby Wolf, by the way". Taking the cigarette in his hand, he let go of the smoke inside his mouth. Thinking that it could have been unpolite of him, he asked: "Sorry, do you mind? Sometimes I forget some peo-ple don't smoke", pointing to his cigarette.

He looks at the rather cocky and obviously drunk detective, turning his gave back in front of him and staring at the floor, letting out a sigh.


"I don't see who you're calling a kid, friend. My army and I have fought off an entire nation on our own."


His arms go to his sides, his thumbs resting in his belt. His gave turns back to Adachi, seeing him spin his pistol around his finger as he shoots out questions.


"As for my sword, I am unsure of it's location. I woke up not far from here just to see that my Falchion was g-"


Before he could finish his sentence, Adachi's pistol fired off, making him jump from the suddenly loud bang and the small fragments of marble dust raining down from the ceiling.


"What is that damn thing!? Why would you be haphazardly spinning such a dangerous device!?"


He looks at Adachi, a somewhat annoyed expression on his face as he knocks the marble dust out of his blue hair.
 
I look over in the direction of the gunshot, muttering, "Chemically propelled projectile firearms... clearly a less advanced earth than I've heard of..."

"Clementine?!, Are you here!?" Molly manged a loud scream, her famine voice bouncing off the walls. She could see there was more survivors then she thought, all different physically and mentally. Molly walked for about 25 feet before her voice boomed through out the building once again, "Clementine!?, Are you okay?...." Molly manged one more step, then finally her legs gave out, and her eyes became to heavy to keep open.
@RainbowWave


Elsa pulled her knees up to her chest, losing herself in thought. She was shaken from her thoughts, however, when she heard the sound of Molly collapse. "You need to calm down. I'm sure you'll find who you're looking for. You just need relax." She noticed the woman's eyes had shut, and figured her body had given out against her will.

Rand looked around and noticed the woman next to him snapping her fingers and frost seemingly springing forth from them. He was excited to see someone who could possibly wield Saidar. "Excuse me miss, are you Aes Sedai? I'm a weaver as well! Look." Rand snapped his fingers and a flame appeared, it was as long as his finger and very bright. He immediately released it and said, "We need to help these people. With our combined wisdom, we could form some sort of solution to this problem."
@TheAlmightyEmperor


As she continued to sit, she was surprised when another person addressed her. She turned her head towards the sound of the voice, glancing to the man. She didn't understand his questions, but before she could ask what he had meant, he displayed his fire abilities to her and she gasped. "I think helping these people would be in our best interest, but I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean to say you are cursed as well?" Her eyes displayed surprise. She had never met another person who had abilities like her own.

*I noticed the semi-large holographic computer appear on his arm... I then looked back up at the man named Garrus, and asked, "Hey, what are you anyway? I mean, where are you from? You certainly don't seem to be from around here..." I said, with a furrowed brow.*
 
Molly awoke in a cold sweat, and her wound hurt like hell. 'Ohhh...How long how I been out?' sitting up, Molly could tell her wound was much worse then she expected, it hurt just to sit. 'At least theirs no walkers....only crazed people.' Grabbing onto a small concert ledge, Molly pulled herself to her feet. Placing her hand over her wound, Molly tried to stop the intense bleeding.


"Hello!? Is there a doctor here?!, I need help..." yelled Molly, hoping someone would hear.

"No, I'm definitely not from around here. I'm called a Turian, from a world called Palaven, but, I seem to have gone back in time, or into a parallel universe. But, basically speaking, I'm an alien."
 
Bigby tried to smile and offered a cigarette to Dandy. He placed his cig back at his mouth and took a deep breath out of it. His head was feeling a little bit better now. "So, zombies huh? Great". He turned towards the rest of the people, and addressed to Dandy, without looking at him. "Well, at least if breasts was what you were looking for, there's plenty here. Also, quite a mess. There's already people bleeding. Do you now any of them?"





@Flaming Centurion
 
Chris Redfield's eyes scanned the foyer: What the hell? I swear, none of these people are normal, well, in a humanistic sense, that is. He hoisted his G36 rifle over his shoulder, heavy boots tapping against the marble interior with a loud 'clomp, clomp, clomp'... as a hand pressed against Claire's shoulder, a small, yet friendly smile graced his soldier-like demeanor, “Claire, about what you saw back there... are you okay?

"Ma'am, what's going on?" Chris paused, eyes scanning the girl for bites, scratches, something capable of causing immediate infection.
 
@Hunter2258


He heard Chrom's surprise at the sudden bullet being fired off from his gun, him giving a small smirk and a cheerful laugh again keeping his gun close to him while looking back against the wall and brushing the marble dust out from his hair as well as Chrom, almost mimicking his actions slightly.


Oh, sorry, this is my revolver. She's a beaut, ain't she?*hic* But, if you want, I can help you try and find your suord or a replacement. You can stab those guys in the face, I'll shoot them. Sounds like a pretty good deal really, we defend each other in a combined...oh gosh...





He looked to the side with his cheeks puffing up slightly as he quickly ran away from Chrom before the sound of him hurling was heard, him using a trash can to throw up into as it seems he had a bit too much wine to drink tonight, him wiping off his mouth after he was done and wandering over to Chrom again letting out a sigh and wiping his mouth.





Ugh...t-teaches me to drink too much on a Saturday...anyways, what do ya say? I can try to help you find this...Fal...Falchi thing. Whatever you called it...don't expect me to go out of my way for you, though. If you do, you'll find yourself disappointed on the ground.





He seemed to rather sternly and subtly be threatening Chrom with the conditions of what he was saying towards him, the cocky detective rather boldly proposing an alliance with him without him going out of his way too much for him. Perhaps he was being a bit more brash in his drunken state, or Adachi was just a generally straightforward and crueler person than most.
 
The Luxor, a grand testament to the skills of mankind in labor, much like how this entire city is a testament to the tenacity of mankind, to create a thriving oasis in a dry, nearly lifeless land. A testament now mostly meaningless, the streets running the same red the Crossed seem intent on painting the whole city.


Come heeeere~ Give me a kiss~


A woman, old, grey haired, lame, and crossed, making lewd faces at the angel, a necklace of ears draped around her neck. Despicable, hopeless, the only help for her now is death.


I said come heeeeeeeeeere~



The grandmother, likely a sweet woman before her sickness, wheels towards Jehoel with a vigor only matched by the force of the plated kick delivered to her skull, sending her backward, her chair wheeling forward still, a wet, broken cough interrupted by the sound of bone snapping underfoot, a quick crack as her frail vertebrae shatter and she remains quiet. Her friends however, are a different story, crowds of the Crossed, like crows or vultures swarming for the imminent feast, a feast they would have to wait for. Jehoel, not keen on failing here, spreads his wings, tasty, molestable treats to those fiends watching, and takes to the skies, circling the air to find the survivors he was told about, a museum. Armed guards out front, he wouldn't be able to land closeby without startling them into shooting him, so the best course would be to land out of sight and walk to them.


A whoosh of air, a dive, and the ground meets him feet first, a backstreet, likely home to the undesirables among this city, now likely a safer place in the area. Safer however, does not mean he is not without the company of the Crossed. A man, youthful and strong, desecrating the corpse of another, a knife on the floor used to create more orifices for his act.


Fresh Fuckskin! So soft and white! Gimme gimme!


Backing off his current kill, the Crossed picks up a heavy metal pipe, running pantsless towards him and putting all his force into a single wild swing horizontal. Ducking under the pipe, Jehoel grips his swords, plunging them directly into the chest of the Crossed, the three edged blades breaking ribs and pushing them out of its way before one of the blades lands itself in each lung. A twist and a shove gets the Crossed on the floor, gasping as blood gurgles out of his lips.


Three more people caught by this plague, three more animals to be put down, not even children are spared by the plague, an infant among the three, gnawing on a corpse, blood dripping from its legs. A woman mutilating a corpse with a broken bottle. A man more crazed than bloodthirsted who attempted to hawk various body parts pinned into his trenchcoat before murdering. An elastic skull, squashed underboot, now just another stain on the asphalt. A severed arm, the body it belongs to just beside it, blood leaking from the abdomen and a hole in the small of its back. A socket missing the right eye, a red crater with three notches in its place.


Finally the museum, swords stained and sheathed, he walks to the front before he is apprehended by several with guns, moved inside the place he meant to go. Even as an Angel, Jehoel could appreciate


for a moment, the time and effort taken to retrieve and reconstruct everything seen inside. Herded into the survivors, he surveys them, considering what must be done now.
 
" I'll manage Chris... Just a bit more than I was expecting to get into.. " She replied, managing a warm smile up at Chris, despite everything, she was glad to have her brother along side her. Her attention then was also drawn to the small girl who had called out, she leaned forward in her chair rather than getting up out of it, not really wanting to get involved with anyone else just yet.

"Certainly a good day indeed!"


Lambdadelta cheered to herself, putting another piece of sweet strawberry cake into her mouth. Being a powerful Witch had something to it, especially at times, when you can just spend time alone, creating a small paradise to live your dreams.


Yet, her "Off-Day" should have to be post-poned once again, as someone stepped up to her, unknowing of who it was.


"Another Chess Board appeared to be spectated~"


The shadowy figure mumbled under it's breath, almost chuckling, trying to hide it's anticipation and joy of these news, as it would lean forward, placing a soft kiss onto Lambda's lips, it's hands pressing against her shoulders. It's tongue softly slipped between her lips, skillfully pulling the piece of unchewed strawberry cake from Lambda's mouth, pulling it into it's own, grinning mischieviously as it did, before swallowing it.


"I do hope to see you there~ I'm curious as how this one will turn out to be~ But I am sure you already know, am I right~?"


With a soft gasp, Lambda accepted the kiss, closing her eyes, clearly enjoying it throughly, knowing that she would be alone for some time, since her "Duty" called.


"Parted from you once again, just to spectate another Board.. and my "Sweet Day" was just beginning to get good!"


She cursed a bit to herself, but never even thought about abandoning another interesting oppertunity, as she stood up from the ground, looking back at her "Sweet Land", before grinning back at the shadowy figure, disappearing in a cloud of fireworks.


A GOLDEN Butterfly landed ontop of a railing, protecting people from falling into the main hall of the Museum, from the second floor's Observation Hallway, only to disappear in half of a heartbeat, only for Lambdadelta to appear in it's place, sitting ontop of the railing, her eyes scanning across the hall, seeing all kinds of different "creatures", humans and other lifeforms, unknown to her. This was truely an interesting place to be!

*I scratched the side of my head, and sighed... Great, now we have aliens? Like the Crossed freaks weren't bad enough. At least this fellow seems friendly. "Well, for an alien, you seem pretty friendly." I said with a smirk.*

"A crazy bitch cut me with an ax!" Molly eyes shut close as she spoke, as if she was fighting for her life. Shooing her eyes open, Molly laughed, and shot the man a small smile.


"Tell me, am I going to die?"
