"First off, I'd like to apologize to you for bringing you into this mess.  It was our intention to assign you a mission of information gathering.  We knew this event was going to happen, but we didn't know when, and we didn't know how.  Unfortunately, we got to the party late, and as a result, we're all intricately involved now.  The meteor shower was actually an attack by a foreign entity, which I once served. I am now part of a faction that wanted to stop this at all costs, but now we're going to have to do damage control.  As you observed, the attack wasn't meant to harm. Instead, it was meant to alter. Take that weapon of yours for instance. I have something like it too." With the flick of his wrist, a whip made entirely out of shadows uncoiled from his outstretched hand.  "the attack granted everyone in this city...powers. Elemental powers." As he let his words sink in, he continued, "tell me, was this executive wearing all white?  If so, this situation may be much graver than I thought."<br/><br/>--------------------------<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=73430.msg3256447#msg3256447">Quote from: DigitLninja on 07-07-2010, 16:52:58</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Talon looked down at the cat then back at his new weapon, it looked interesting. He pulled his old dull knife from it's sheath hidden on his thigh and replaced it with the new weapon. He decided that now would be a good time to pack up and move out as he began to disassemble his Sniper rifle and pack it up in an inconspicuous backpack that he pulled over his shoulders. Then he lifted the cat and placed the creature back in his jacket before he moved to the stair access and opened the door.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>As Talon opened the door, a woman knocked him back onto the rooftop with a gust of wind.  "Why hello there.  I believe you have something of mine. That dagger you're carrying. Hand it over, if you know what's good for you." She was quite attractive, with long flowing hair that billowed in the wind that she was obviously controlling.  She was wearing a tight fighting combat suit that Talon recognized as being from special ops. He did not, however, recognize the woman who was barring his escape. "Well. What's it gonna be, soldier boy," she said, licking her lips.<br/>--------------------------------------<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=73430.msg3259690#msg3259690">Quote from: Skystomp on 08-07-2010, 02:38:53</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Jacob frowned as the man artfully vanished behind the confusion going on throughout the park, yet for some reason he thought he could pick out exactly where the man was. He looked around and the frown deepened. He could tell were everyone was and how far away they were. "Ok... this is going beyond weird and all the way into bizzaro world weird. I don't know who you are Mr Black and White, but yuz got some splainin to do." <em>However</em>, he thought to himself, <em>I'm getting the hell out of here before someone else shows up asking me mondo bizzaro questions.</em>  He hunched himself into his jacket a little more and made his way out of the park and noticed the commotion going on at the intersection. <em>Damnit. Now what's going on?</em> He slowed down and fingered the keys in his pocket. The parking lot where he stashed his bike was across from the pair... <em>And, is that a magic show? What the hell is going on with everyone?</em> He doged around people, that ground sense had quickly become second nature, quickly and with ease. he squinted and hopped up onto a light pole to get a better view.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>The fire wielder ducked behind an abandoned car as the water user pummeled it with high pressure water. The water was leaving dents in the doors and hood where it struck.  "Hand it over.  I know you have a crystal shard," the water wielder said, momentarily stopping the dangerous stream of water.  "I can take it from you by force if necessary. If you just give it to me, no one has to get hurt. Got it?"<br/>From atop his perch, Jacob could tell that the fire user was scared out of his mind. What had started as fun and games had become something much worse.<br/>
