Depths of the Island

[End Of The Abyss]

At the edge of a dense forest, Josh stood in the middle of a road and stared at his poorly drawn vision's end. His gaze followed the edge of the road, watching it slowly tumble into the foliage beyond. He blinked at the quality of the pavement, which slowly deteriorated as it went further into the forest beyond. He absorbed the light as it drained through the leaves, knowing full well that this was where he wanted to venture.

 

He had taken a brisk walk in the morning, passing the normal bus that would have delivered him to this very spot much faster than his own legs. However, he had wanted the exercise, so he sacrificed some time. Besides, he didn't think he'd utilize that time any better than walking.

 

So now he was standing at the edge of the city which he had been staying at for some time. The threshold he had placed himself on was the only thing left for him to step off of before entering the deep jungle beyond.

 

At first, "exploring" the rest of the island didn't seem like a good use of time to Josh. In their day and age, every foot and meter was measured down to an exact science. There wasn't anything left for the world to "find", for it was all there.

 

But the more Josh thought on it, the more he realized that each meter and foot of that forest was alien to himself. He had never really been beyond the boundary that the city had provided him. What lay beyond could either be very mundane to him... or could turn out to be an exciting experience.

 

Either way, he had nothing to lose save for the suit he was stubbornly wearing.

 

So he began his pace, by taking one first step and following it up with more.

The day ended and the next began.

 

At the CFC headquarters, there had been no sign of Josh since two days past. A call to his room amounted to nothing. A call to the public bus system (which he frequented) also came up negative; however, it did say that Super did not ride the day before around the same time that he went missing.

 

That morning also brought some strange sightings in the forest around the city. Odd grey eyes and shapes were seen moving in the shadows of the trees, only to fade back into the dense forests beyond. Numerous sightings had been addressed to the public; some one, some two, a person even saw ten at one point. Fuzzy cellphone videos amassed, and a person even went out to investigate only to vanish a moment later. (on video, of course)

 

Calls of public distress were phoned in to the city's police department, and soon even these reached the ears within the CFC headquarters...

Rules:

 

1) The plot is still (hopefully) impromptu, but I've got some sketches for a small plot. At this point, it's all up to what your response is to the situation.

 

2) For the most part, I have control over the grey creatures and what they do. No one is allowed to be any of these creatures, or at least not at the start of the RP. They haven't been defined anyway...

 

3) Still, the setting is in the CFC Isle, its airspace, its surrounding coastline, and down beneath it. No need to go farther than that, or at least to my knowledge.

 

4) While I'm at it, I'm hoping for some action in this RP. Not just "action"; I mean fighting. So if something happens like "A bomb explodes on your face" ... please find a creative way out of it. It might be godmodding, but I'd rather see godmodding than just giving up... unless you put detail into your character's death. Which leads me to...

 

5) No character can be killed without their author's consent. I don't know why I'm repeating this; I think it's in the rule topic. Just repeating it for repetition's sake, I guess... although this could also contain "no maiming of a character without the author's consent." That has a bit more grey area to it...

 

6) I am unsure if what is in this RP will be canon. That is for you all to decide, not me.

 

7) Try to have fun. I'm not assuring it, but... try.

[spoiler=What's On The Island]

On the Island is the Crossfire Crew HQ, or CFC HQ, which is where everyone lives. There's a bus that runs through the different parts of the islands. There is an airport and the island has its own airspace. It also has a forest and a small town. This RP is about exporing the caves and such under the island.
