Waking Up
Date of Scene: 12 December 2012
Location: Traverse Area - Bodhum - Beach
Synopsis: After the destruction of Manhattan at the hands of the Heartless, three gargoyles awaken on a beach in a strange land and attempt to figure out where to go from here.
Cast of Characters: Deidra, Brooklyn, Skyline


Brooklyn has posed:
There's no telling how long it's been. Days, weeks...Years. Another thousand years, perhaps? Brooklyn doesn't know how long he floated in the darkness, or how he wound up washing ashore on this beach. He had known about the other worlds, but they were no concern to him. They weren't his to protect, not like Manhattan was. Was.

His eyes snap open and he jerks upright, legs still in the water as the waves wash up over his talons. He rubs his head a bit as he looks out over the water...Too clean to be the Hudson. Where on earth is he..
Skyline has posed:
It wasn't all that long ago that another gargoyle had been getting spotted around the Manhattan skyscrapers. Likely the clan had heard about it but didn't get the chance to confirm it before all hell broke loose sunday night. There was a lot going on that night, all of it involving heartless, but gunfire? A blur of grey scale here and there? Maybe not at the main battle but it was -happening-. Or at least it was until it all went dark. Completely unaware of the new rules when fighting these things, Skyline was there when the world went dark and now, similarly to Brooklyn, she was drifting to shore about 40 or so yards down the shore.
Deidra has posed:
Deidra has no idea how long it was, she knows if not for Brooklyn and King Mickey no one would have got out of the world heart alive. She's thankful for that but where is she? She wasn't sure what happened and well? She's laying face down. Brooklyn might notice her form just a bit down from the beach from him. It would be easy for Skyline or Broklyn to notice her.
Brooklyn has posed:
The statistical odds of three different gargoyles showing up on the same beach within a 100 yard area are next to nothing. But hey, it's magic. Brooklyn slowly stands up, and since Deidra is closer, he moves to help her up, before quickly jogging over to the strange gargoyle he hadn't met yet, "You alright?" He asks, as he kneels next to her, to get her onto her feet.
Skyline has posed:
The new girl flinches when someone actually wakes her up, then hacks up a lung worth of water over the next minute or so. She's not entirely aware of the two others there on the shore. Yet. Getting to that will happen once she catches her breath and her composure.
Deidra has posed:
Deidra is looking battered and beaten the world swims back into view. Thankfully it's a friendly face that she sees as the world comes back into view. "I'm alive...and I see you are as well." She takes a moment to look around. None of the others from that final battle are in sight. She notices Skyline "Thank you Brooklyn but whose that?" She says gesturing over to Skyline as she manges to stand up wip with the other's help.
Brooklyn has posed:
The red gargoye pats Skyline on the back a couple of times between her wings, as he looks up towards Deidra, "Dunno. We should ask her after she stops choking on that water." He says, "Where the hell are we, anyway?"
Skyline has posed:
A couple more hacks, one more bit of a water, then one very long, very deep breath, is taken before she finally seems to get her composure back and just slumps down onto her back, peering up at the others. "..." Oh hey look. Her own kind. YAY. Pardon her while she thinks the following, "Great, I'm dead or dreaming."
Deidra has posed:
Deidra says "I think." She looks about for a moment and at the town off in the distance "Transverse town a hub city between worlds. A lot of surivors wash up here from ... worlds like ours. The good news is? I know people here." She now starts over to Skyline looking her over for a moment "umm no we're not dead I hurt too much to be dead. If I'm hurting I can't be dreaming either, so umm hi!"
Brooklyn has posed:
Brooklyn wobbles his hand a little bit, "A little from column A, a little from column B." He says, as he sits down next to her, "Clearly you're okay, because you're still breathing." He looks over at Deidra, "Traverse Town? Ugh...So we did lose, didn't we?"
Skyline has posed:
Seems like Skyline isn't taking what Deidra says very seriously, "No, I'm.. this must be my dream then. I had heard there were others in --" she freezes, recalling that feeling when everything went dark. The endless wave. Then washing up here. She actually slips really quiet, eyes closing, going over the events in her head again, again, again, "...I think I'd rather be dreaming.. cause if not.." she could be happy to find other gargoyles later. Now? After roosting in new york and losing it -too-.. after San Diego... "Damnit... not again.."
Deidra has posed:
Deidra sighs "We did, King Mickey cast a spell to throw us clear of the world heart. We're alive thanks to that mouse man." She notes before looking back to Skyline for a moment." She looks at them for a moment and closes her eyes for a moment as well. "I know...we lost most of our world and then the rest of our world." She trails off. "It's like a waking daymare..."
Brooklyn has posed:
"No. He went down, after he cast that spell...So did the wolf." Brooklyn says, as he tries to help Skyline up to her feet, "Damnit..." He puts one claw over his face, "How could I have failed so horribly.."
Skyline has posed:
She wobbles at first but finds her balance a moment later. Just on instinct she dusts her things off but, well, realizing what happened is a bit harder as it all comes surging back. "You weren't alone.."
Deidra has posed:
Deidra says "I don't know then I'd passed out before that." She frowns "We surived that's something and we know /who/ did it. I know a Kingdom that's backing the ones who did this." That Being Baron. As for the other Gargyole she pauses looking at them "Oh errr I'm Deidra and it's at had we been alone we'd not have surived the night I think."
Brooklyn has posed:
"Right." Brooklyn says, "The ones Xanatos made aware of Manhattan in the first place. It's his fault...His...And WILL!" Brooklyn suddenly flashes back to the real reason for their loss, "That traitor. Him and Riku both." He slams his fist into his other claw, "I'll make them both pay for what they did."
Skyline has posed:
Skyline doesn't seem quite aware of those names. Xanatos and Will, that is. All she really knew was she had found a sort of second home in NYC and like San Diego, it was gone now. "I ... ... I think I..." she starts to say, though she never really finishes and just starts walking. She's not even sure where she's going. "...I'll just go somewhere.." She's not upset at either of them. She's just unsure what to do, now.
Deidra has posed:
Deidra say "No Baron came looking for trouble on it's own. We had a run in with them a while ago. They took it poorly." She frowns for a moment "I don't know what's up with him but yes your right we shouldn't be trusting of him as for Riku..." She growls. "He...played us, Will, Mercade, Tom, Everyone!" Her shoulder slump and wings fan out a little bit. "Your right, come on this way we should head to town. Given how many non humans there are going through? We're not liable to get aqn angry mob after us, at least."
Brooklyn has posed:
"Well that'll be at least one positive thing." Brooklyn says, as he looks to Skyline, "Sorry, I'm being rude...Extenuating circumstances." He offers a claw, "My name is Brooklyn. This is Deidra. And yes, we are both gargoyles. No, you're not alone after all. Believe me, I know the feeling."
Skyline has posed:
Skyline pauses. She was -nearly- off on her own before they snap her attention back, "Ah, er.." that caught her off guard, to say the least. Too many names she didn't know. ... Too many people she didn't know. Present company included. ... Minus one after an introduction. "I.. if this was... different I'd be really excited about this..."
Deidra has posed:
Deidra says "I seen everything from demi humans to Lamia's here." She nods for a moment "I understand my friends other than Brooklyn and our world is gone, it puts a damper on things. I did get a transmision that the evac point in central park was holding. Some must have escaped." She heads towards the city "So yes I'll be buying food if anyone wants any..."
Brooklyn has posed:
"Is there any way to get it back?" Brooklyn asks, before he looks back to Skyline, "Do you have a name?" He asks. He knows, at least where he came from, that gargoyles didn't usually have names. Didn't really need them.
Skyline has posed:
Skyline blinks, "Oh ah, my 'dad' tended to call me Skyline before he retired in San Diego so.." she trails again, looks between the two of them, then, "I'm... sorry.. I just need some time. I'll try to find you later, Brooklyn, I just... I need a bit.." this time when she goes walking she isn't stoping cause her player is going to go qwerty face in a second.
Deidra has posed:
Deidra says "Might be, I'm not going to count on everything being lost. Bits of lost wolds have shown up so maybe just maybe there's something we can do i'll have to do a lot of resarch." Had taken a name but well so far as she'd said? She'd been isolated from other Gargyoles almost all of her life.
Brooklyn has posed:
"I think, for now...We need to figure out who made it out, and plot our counter-attack." The red gargoyle says, as he yawns, "Now lets go get out of here..Go hit up the town."
Deidra has posed:
Deidra says "Ageed, lets get something to eat and start looking. I know a winged girl here who runs a paper. She's a little dim but she means well and does at least attempt to help people find eachother."
