Voices of the Unknown

8:00 AM, Day 1
Blacker Baroness, as some of her co-workers call her, sits behind the computer she owns, looking at boring and useless documents for cars that no one will buy. She hears her flip-phone ringing at her pocket. Great, another caller. Just what she needs right now, she didn’t even get coffee.


Azkeroth turns on his TV as it’s slowly fading lights flicker back on for another game session. He sits down with a table in front of him, which holds a bowl of chips and soda. Rain or shine, school or not, worlding ending or not, he’s going to play some games.
That’s when he hears something moving behind him.

Bill sits down in a small dinner, pulling out a book with pages that were slowly turning yellow over the years. He always liked pulling it out when he had to wait for a waitress. A while after he has started to read, a waitress walks over to him. Her southern voice bursts out…
>”Hello, sir! What would ya like today? We’ll have some eggs that no ‘count anything for y’all.”
She giggles to herself.

Alodia hops out of her truck before walking over to her first house of the day, another day of work and all. A small boy walks out of the house, looking frustrated, as a man and woman exit the house and walk over to Alodia.
>”Hello, miss, I hope you’re having a good day today.”
The man talks in a small and quiet, yet nice voice.
The woman speaks up, looking energetic.
>“Well, howdy! It’s about time you got here! Now, listen, we have some boxes to move in blah blah…”
Alodia tunes out the woman’s voice as she sees the boy eyeing her down with a nasty look on his face. Strange, but nothing to make a fuss about, Alodia guesses.
>”Hey, don’t ignore me! I said to move the boxes in the bedrooms!”
The woman yells at Alodia, snapping her attention back.

Gabrielle sits behind her bar counter, bored stupid. It’s the morning, and due to last night’s party being a bit...too wild, the place has been closed down for a bit longer than usual to clean up all of the beer and vomit off of the ground. Gabrielle’s eyes shift as she notices someone she hasn’t seen before in the corner of the room. Strange, no one besides her and the cleaners were supposed to be here.

Shawn Blue sits in his room, with a whole set of DnD supplies littering the room. He loved these games, even if he didn’t understand how to play them sometimes. He looks for his pyramid dice as he hears his mom calling down from the room.
“Sweetie, it’s time for breakfast! I got your chicken tenders!”
Oh sweet!

Glimmer sits down at her computer, booting it up. She’s been well-known as one of the better CS:GO players, even as a girl. She opens up CS:GO as she gets a steam message from “ColdMan’sBalls”
>”Hey, SlavicBear, have you heard about this strange thing happening recently?”
Glimmer goes to answer it as, suddenly, her computer locks up. This is...strange.

>>1276114
"Sorry, I'll get right to it." She says as she grabs a box and does her job of moving stuff.

Odd kid.

Now... Which boxes go into which bedrooms again?
Just move the boxes into whatever bedrooms and sort it out after.

>>1276114
>Answer my phone.

Ah, thanks sweetheart, now let's see here.

Yeah, I think I'll go with some Red eye, and, sure, why the heck not, one serving of brownies.

>>1276126
>>1276133
Alodia enters one of the "bedrooms" as she notices that nearly everything in it is packed up, expect for the bed itself. She suddenly remembered that these people were moving out. Well, they should've said so.
Alodia hears someone calling her outside to "hurry up" or something, so she picks up a few of the boxes before bringing them outside.
>"Thank you, ma'am. Just move the boxes out and the couches, please."
The couches? What c- Oh, oh. It's probably in a living room or something.

>>1276127
Black Baroness pulls out her old flip-phone as she answers it, yawning to herself.
The line picks up as some old man seems to be talking to her. Huh, okay then.
>"Heeeeey, dollface, how are you doing? You look mighty fine this morning."
Blacker Baroness feels a bit worried. Is this guy some sort of stalker or...?
>"Come on, talk to me. I want to hear your pretty voice, doll."

>>1276145
Bill places his order as the waitress walks away in a hurry.
>"I'll get it here real quick!"
Bill sighs, relaxing in his booth as he hears loud screaming and crying from outside.
>"S-SOMEONE! HELP! HE-"
Her voice is cut off by someone yelling. Bill looks around to look through the front window and...is that a gun?
>"Shut up, you little bitch! I'll fucking end you!"
Well, Bill didn't want to do this, but he better prepare the boots on his feet.

Ok, buddy, I don't know what kind of stunt you are trying to pull, but you better leave this girl alone if you know what's good for ye.
> Don't wait for a response, unarm him while he's distracted. Then punch him. Hard.

Hello Fellow 'heroes'.

>>1276200
Alodia, with shaky legs and arms, brings the couch out of the living room.
The man and woman from before clap before speaking. Strangely enough, the kid is nowhere to be seen. Hm.
>"Thank you miss. We'll take it from here. Here's, um, your money."
>"Well, you were actually useful for once! Here ya go!"
The man gives Alodia 32 bucks and the wife gave 10. Sweet money! Yahoo!
>"Say, miss, where did our son go?"
...They just noticed? Sheesh.

>>1276208
Black Baroness talks as she hears shifty movements from around her cubicle. She starts hearing the voice on the phone around her.
>"Now, now, where else would I be, dollface?"
>"Show me some skin."
Okay, this is creepy. Some random pervert is nearly next to you.
>"All I want is skin, doll."
Blacker Baroness sees a leg poking out from the doorway to her cubicle

>>1276242
Bill gets out of his seat and starts moving over to the thug. The thug's head slowly turns out while his fidgeting hands rest on the gun before Bill smashes his fist into the man's face!
>"Gah! You old fuck!"
The man moves back in pain and anger.

>>1276290
Dave walks around the alleys of this city, looking for another criminal to bash with his bat. It's been a while since he has dealt with the filth of the city.
In the distance, in a strange dinner, he hears screaming and yelling.
He wonders if this is his chance.

=Dinner=
Thug A points the gun at Bill!
>"Don't you fucking move, old man!"

"You mean they were not with you? No, I don't know where he went. But, I'll help you look for him for a little extra pay for overtime."
Alodia says happily.

If they accept, look for the kid.
If they just insult me, help find their kid anyway.

"Alright then, there goes MY FUCKING COMPUTER JESUS CHRIST ITS SUCH A FUCKING TO- Oh wait I can just restart it."
Do just that, restart it after yelling to myself.

>>1276310
The two parents look at each other before looking back at Alodia with worried looks on their face.
>"Please do. We'll give you whatever you want, just find our boy."
Well, well, seems like this is gonna be "Fun"
Quest: Find the missing kid.
To the left, right, and behind the house...there is a large and scary looking forest. Behind Alodia is a road, her vehicle, and an endless stretch of road that seems to go on forever.
Doesn't seem like she has a lot to work off of.

>>1276318
Blacker Baroness hides a staple remover in her shirt sleeve, presses said button, and hikes up her skirt to show her panties.
The creep enters the cubical. The man is hairy and undressed, like a stereotypical hobo. He looks at Blacker Baroness with drool coming from his mouth, a phone in his hand, and lust in his eyes.
>"Yes, yes! You understand, doll. Now, don't move..."
The man grabs Black Baroness by the legs and spreads them far apart painfully.
>"Where we are going, you don't need those..."

>>1276320
Dave slowly walks over to the diner as he hears the man with a gun yelling...
>"Heh, suckers. Well..."
He see the man slowly walking away...

>>1276330
Bill stands there as he sees the man slowly walking away with a bag of cash, pointing the gun at Bill.
Bill runs over to the man and tries smashing the man into the floor! He manages to smash his fist into the thug, sending him to the floor. The thug coughs up a bit of blood as...
(Thug, 6/11)

Glimmer nearly has a meltdown before realizing this simple fact.
She reboots the computer as it turns off and back on.
When it returns to the home screen, the message is still there with an added...

Dave hops into the battle with his bat in hand as he smashes his bat into the Thug! Youch.
(Thug, 0/11)
...
The thug falls down onto the ground, his skull and head slightly bashed in and cracked. It was a brutal hit, to say the least.

>>1276426
Alodia looks behind the house as...
Okay, that isn't a kid. It's long, slimy, a-

Azkeroth looks around, trying to see what or who made that sound.

Bill goes to disarm and constrain them, but he realized that the man is knocked out with his head nearly split open.

>>1276433
Glimmer types on her computer before leaning back, sighing.
She hears a ping.
>"Recently, there seems to be a serial killer who attacked video game players. I'm not sure if anything of this is true but..."
...
>"I was just wor"
The message cuts off there for some reason.
Um?

>>1276440
Before the creep manages to touch her, Black Baroness claws at the Creep with the stapler remover before kicking him away with her heels.
The man stumbles back, covering his left eye as he glares at Baroness...
>"Women like you...aren't even good enough for my dick!"
(Creep, ???/???)

Shawn heads down the stairs while his crow flies after him. He walks over to the kitchen as his mom and dad sit there.
>"There you are, sweety. We got you some of your chicken tendies, with sauce!"
The father just sits there, reading a newspaper.
>"Eat up, you're going to miss school!"
Cena sits on Shawn's shoulder, being a small bird.

>>1276501
Gale talks to the man, waiting for an answer...
The man slowly walks over to Gale as the man smiles dirty,chipped teeth at him.
>"Hello, miss...sir? Do you have any bleach I can borrow? I really need to clean my house."
Huh?

Leochan wakes up on the top of a mountain, one which hangs above the whole city he lives in. He picks up the rusted compound bow to his left.
He doesn't remember why he's up here, but all he knows is...
One of the building in the city is on fire. What shall he do?

The Creep, not wanting to get involved, runs out of the office.

The snake hisses at Alodia, preparing to strike if she moves.

Dave gains 5 EXP!
The waitress from before calls out for Bill.

Bill realizes it's only been ten minutes. Huh.

One of them walks over to Gale as the dirty looking man rambles about an eyeball and potions, like he's some cliche character from a video game.

Montaign sat at the corner of his garage as he sharpened his survival knife. He sat there grumbling about the decay of the american dream and how the world's going to shit too soon with the whole economy tanking and how better it was back in the old days despite being born in the early 90s.

Give the operator my address and what not.

Sure I would agree, though...
A little more about the details.

Do you just want me to share my memory? Or do you want to take it from me? Will I lose the thought of it, or will I lose everything which could remind me of its existence?

You know, I COULD ask what that memory would be, but I don't think I'd get any answer from you.

Would you also mind me checking out the goods? From the way you talked about things, I'm fairly sure you already know what YOU have in mind.

Alodia looks at the cultist before bellowing out that phrase...that phrase of fear, the phrase that people will fear for the rest of their lives. "Uncermonious Casket Drop!" She holds up the cultist, slightly not wanting to do this to the poor man, before smashing his back into her knee. The snap, almost like breaking a Kit-Kat bar, was audible.

Meanwhile, Black Baroness waits for the food she ordered while staring at Azkeroth, who tries to stare back at her before breaking away like a wet noodle.
Soon, the waitress and "The Man" come down. "The Man" looks at Shawn with a slightly disgusted look before giving him the EXTRA THICC shake. The waitress simply hands Blacker Baroness the strawberry milkshake with two straws in it.

They both soon walk away to take care of the other people in the small diner.

Bill slowly looks around the diner filled with strange and unusual devices littering around it. He notices a boy sitting next to...his mother(?) playing on a Gameboy! ...What the fuck is a game-boy? He also sees people with these Smartphones or something, but he has no idea what they are doing with them. He must've entered some sort of strange movie-set or something, this can't be right.
Though, something he can remember clearly is some poor man's head that was split in half by a baseball bat. If only he knew who did it, it surely wasn't him.

"See, I've taken something with high density, like a spare lapis lazuli-- you know, lazurite, calcite, sodalite, and pyrite-- and polished it into unidentifiable convex lens with a CNC machine, making it nearly unidentifiable to the human eye. The physical forms are projections from the lapis, which can be changed at will; like a hologram, but with mass. Their only constant feature is their gemstone and color scheme, which would much similar to the dark blue of the lapis."

Joshua pours his syrup onto his toast, takes a sip of his slightly rich Cappuccino, before standing up and making a huge speech about his amazing gem technically, and how it's..."intimate" upsides would be amazing.

There is that thing from before... exept I have no idea WHAT said thing was...
And then there is...
No, OK, I think that birdboy might need some help.
(What did those damn commies DO? Why is something like this legal? That's just wrong, no matter what way you look at it! If... I had(?) any kids, I wouldn't let my wife do something like that!)

> grab my stuff, pay "Bill's bill" (HA!), leave a tip and walk over to the bird boy.
"Wanna Run that story by me one more time?"
"And shit like that is kinda rude for the people that run this place. Consider NOT doing that, maybe?"

Well in that case, go get my laptop for travel vidya, gaming rig, and some ramen cups. Do all of this while clutching my knife. Open the door afterwards.

Montaigne takes the other half of the money before stuffing the rest of the stuff together? Eh, whatever works for him.

Dave talks to De as she nods.

She just...hands Dave a tube of burn ointment. Sweet relief is finally in his hands!

Joshua sits back down, chewing on a sausage as John and Zack just stare at him in shock and slight amusement like the parents of a kid who just dropped his pants down and started to wave his wiener.
>"Joshua, if this "Living Rock" thing of yours is just some cooked up hologram crap and nothing really happens, you own me back the money I spent."
Zack laughs to himself before taking a sip of his own coffee. Well, well.

Shawn drinks the EXTRA T H I C C shake before sipping a bit more up and spitting it at Joshua's face. It lands and...it just kinda sticks on.

Alodia rips off the ropes on the child (thanks to the help of Montaigne's small cuts) before looking down at him with disappointment and worry.

Bill looks down at his hands, mumbling to himself about the aftertaste of coffee in his mouth and the slight hint of chocolate in there as well before paying the bill (with a 20% tip) and joining Shawn's party!

Bill, Shawn, Azkeroth, and Blacker Baroness exit the diner together as they go over to the old ,broken house!...it looks slightly more guarded than usual.
Two guards stand at the front of the door, covered in makeshift leather armor as the first one holds two blades and one holds a spear and shield.
>"HALT."

Zoot wakes up on his couch, surrounded in empty bags of chips and bottle of soda. He has just came down out of a high. He coughs a bit as his eyes adjust a bit to the darkness, and it seems like his TV is still playing. Wicked.

Glimmer puts down the phone before grabbing her laptop and some ramen cups, all while pointing the knife at the door, which was a real accomplishment as she slowly opens the door.
The cop just stands there, in slight amusement and confusion.

Alodia takes the child's hand in her own gently and pulls out the staff she took from the Cultists.

"Hey Pedo whose ass I have not kicked. I'll be right back with doctors for your friends. Try to treat their wounds, but don't touch they guy whose back I broke. He might die."
She says to the Remaining Cultist C before turning back to the Stranger unknown to Alodia to be Montaigne.

"You just do whatever. I don't trust you or your doctors excuse. I'll leave the healing stuff to the speedy doctors when they get here."

Alodia smiles at the child before stabbing the Staff into the ground. She begins walking back towards the house with the child. The staff leaving behind a line for her to follow back.

Shawn speaks to the two cultist guards as they stare down at him. One of them scoffs, pointing his big shiny spear at the boy.
>"Right. Then let us search them."
The guard with the two knives starts to stalk over to Bill, Blacker Baroness, and...wait, where is that kid? He's just gone!

>>1288177
Alodia grabs the small hand of the kid as she uses the staff as a small tracer...she keeps walking and walking, heading in the rough direction of the house. She's getting somewhere, alright. (???/???)

Azkeroth turns into one of his favorite snek heros, solid snek, before sneaking past the two guards. He looks around for any sort of secret entrances around the house, and shockingly enough, there is a hole in the side of the house juuuuust big enough for him to squeeze though.
Well? Go through it?

>>1288248
Montaigne kneels down, sighing, before using his small knife to cut off some of the cultist's robe before wrapping up his bleeding bruises on his chest with it. Well, that did something. (+??? HP)
Cultist B...yeah, Mont can't do anything to him.
Cultist C just sits there, letting his wounds be healed up by the same method as before.

Joshua finishes up his breakfast as Zack and John finish up as well. Joshua also realizes that some FUCKER spat a bunch of milkshake stuff at him. WHO THE FUCK.

The two stand up before walking out of the diner. Josh decides that it's time to show them...her.

Glimmer slowly hands over her ramen cups to the cop as he walks away to his car, which does look like a copper car, before pouring them into the backseat. Glimmer slowly follows him, very paranoid of him.

Bill does in to stabilize the man as..he hears distance slot machine noises in the distance. As soon as he hears them, he realizes that his hands, which are being used to stabilize the man, are glowing with a strange blue glow! The glow enters the man's chest as the wound seals up. What. (Man, 13/13) (Man, 14/14!)
The man sits up, looking like nothing has happened to him. He looks at Bill in shock and wonder.
>"O-oh, u-um, thanks. I-I guess I should answer those questions..."
