...finally beat that round... oh well, next up earthborn-war hero. (speaking of which: nice mention Smooth.)
sorry, i had intended for this to be longer, but ive an idea for my character... an allusion and a forethought to explaining some aspect to both his powers and the meaning behind Black and White...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The alarms were blaring, but still, nothing. Loudly they roared through the apartment room. Tobias was still stuck in another night terror. Another haunting memory of his past resurfacing in his dreams. He shook, sweat beading down his forehead, his neck, all down his back and arms. His whole body shivered and rocked, shaking violently in his bed. He tossed and turned, flipping his covers over and onto the floor.
Suddenly his eyes flared open, and he was paralyzed in his bed. He couldn't help but stare at the ceiling, frozen where he laid. His eyes were wide and moving from side to side violently. Suddenly, he let out a gasp of air and fell backwards into his bed. Groggily he started panting, gasping for air. The sound of his alarm going off was starting to overbear his mind as it tried desperately to grasp onto the dream that just passed. He reached over to the clock and pressed down on the snooze button. He laid back down in bed and closed his eyes once more, then suddenly looked over at the alarm clock, noticing the time on it.
"OH SHIT," he yelled out, "I'M LATE!" He lept out of bed and ran over to his dresser, rummaging through the shelves looking for clothes to wear.
Down at the bus station, Mimoto paced back and forth, looking down nervously at the clocktower besides her. Aurora had taken a seat on the bench, her rifle laid beside her on one side, her bags on the other. She looked ahead at the street and looked at the people walking down the road. She gave them a cold glance, then looked over at Mimoto, still walking back and forth. "You know it's almost 6, right?" she asked in a sarcastic tone. Mimoto looked over at her and glared.
"I know! Tobias knows that we were supposed to meet here at 6, maybe he's just running late."
"That, or he isn't coming."
"Why wouldn't he come, he already agreed to?"
Aurora looked back at her and scoffed. "It's like I thought; you recruited a pathetic powerless kid for this mission, and it just so happens that this loser is also a lying ass. Trust me, next time I see him, his ass is mine. I don't appreciate being lied to..." She looked over at the bench and smiled darkly. Mimoto looked back at the street and saw the bus starting to pull near. She quickly looked back at the clocktower and saw that the bus was five minutes early. Mimoto walked over to the bench and grabbed her bag and her rifle, and started to walk to the bus. "You coming or what girl? You're the one with the money for this trip."
Mimoto looked at her and pouted, then lowered her head and sighed. She walked over to the bench and picked up her bags and walked onto the bus. She gave the driver her tickets and walked down the tiny walkway. Aside from Aurora and two other people, the bus was empty. She took a seat by the window, and stared out of it, looking back onto the bench. Before she boarded the bus, she left Tobias' ticket on the bench, held down by a rock. Slowly the bus rose up and started to drive off.
Tobias, now fully dressed, looked back at the clock and saw that it was now 6:05. No matter what excuse he tried to use, nothing would explain why he was so late. He ran over to the closet and pulled out his guitar bag. Laying it down on the bed, he pulled back on the back zipper, revealing the hidden area in the bag where he hid his staff. He walked over to the mirror and stared into his eyes. Inside the mirror he could see Black and White standing behind him.
"Black," he said into his reflection, "I need your help."
"Why should I help you boy? You got yourself into this mess plenty well without me," he replied. Tobias looked into the mirror and gave him a cold glare. Black waved his arm and walked around to the window. "Fine fine, I'll help you out with this boy. You know our deal though for me agreeing to this, right?"
"Yes, I am aware." He turned around and closed his eyes, holding them shut tightly. Slowly he could feel a tight grip start to grab at his heart, and he started to feel a chill. It felt as if his body was being enveloped by some force. He opened his eyes and let out a quick shout of pain. Right after, his left eye started to become surrounded by tiny black tentacles, encroaching upon his iris. Slowly his whole body was being covered by a black film emerging from a hole underneath his feet. He looked up at the ceiling and closed his eyes again. "Take me to the bus stop Shinto-Seto!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, and immediately his entire body was pulled down through the hole.
At the bus stop, a few feet behind where the bench was, a small black ring started to form, and slowly expanded outward until it was 4 feet in diameter. Suddenly, Tobias' head rose out from the hole, and in quick procession the rest of his body started to emerge. It was only a few seconds before his entire body was through, and the dark film receeded into the ground and faded away underneath his shadow. Tobias looked around, his face pale, and saw the bus stop empty. He walked over to the bench and sat down, putting his head into his hands and sighing.
"Tobias," White said inside of his head, "Mimoto and Aurora have already boarded the bus and have gone on ahead. They are making their way towards the Ikanawa hotel. It will take them most of the morning to get there, and they should arive by 1:26 in the afternoon." Tobias looked up at ahead and across the street. He saw an older man walking, holding onto a large bad. Tobias' eye started to shine as the iris changed to a pure black hue. He stood up and let out a short laugh.
"Well then," he started, "it looks like that leaves me with plenty of time to prepare..." He walked out towards the edge of the sidewalk, the tips of his feet hanging off of the curb. "If that girl was right yesterday," he picked up the ticket laying next to him and looked at the destination and let out a laugh, "then I will need all the time I can get to get ready for this next kill." He looked up into the air, still laughing to himself. Slowly the dark ring re-emerged underneath his feet. He grabbed hold onto the staff and looked over at the old man. The old man looked over at him and saw panic in his eyes. The old man stared as Tobias' body was ensnared by the dark tendrils emerging from the ground, diving into his chest, arms, back, legs, and face. Slowly the darkness encroached around him and covered his body completely, and he was pulled once again into the dark void. The old man ran screaming down the road, as the ticket fell to the ground. Slowly, from where Tobias' hands were holding onto it from, the paper faded from its yellowish hue to a dull grey and quickly eroded away, crumbling to the ground and eventually completely turning to ash.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BTW:
With that last paragraph, Black is in control of Tobias' body. normally its just their voces that overtake his own, i.e. they use his voice to talk to him, so to others around him it just seems like he is talking to himself. this last time, however, his body is completely overtaken.
and i noticed i forgot to add in tobias taking his baggage with him... just assume he went back to his apartment to get it, and for the time being, just forget he exists. trust me, i've something planned...
sorry, i had intended for this to be longer, but ive an idea for my character... an allusion and a forethought to explaining some aspect to both his powers and the meaning behind Black and White...
