Prototypes: Super Hero RP (Finished)

[Sparrow]

As Sarah and Iceous talked, Sparrow checked his watch. There wasn't enough time to mess about with pets and "arrangements". They had to leave soon, with or without Iceous.

"Samuel. Take Iceous back to his place, and let him sort his stuff out."

Sparrow spun out his backwheel, with the bike's brakes still on.

"We'll meet you at the beach. You've got an hour, okay?"

Sarah hopped on Sparrow's bike, and wrapped her hands around his stomach. They shot off into the distance, leaving Iceous and Samuel behind, as Sparrow shouted behind him.

"Catch you later, Frosty!"

 

[SamuelT]

"Well then, where to?" Samuel asked Iceous, who was still looking a bit dazed. Less then before, but not quite well yet.

 

[Dorian]

Iceous looked around. He pointed to a hill outside of town.

"My house is on the other side of that hill."

He hoped on the back. "Shall we go?"

Sarah closed her eyes as they sped through the streets. Being on the motorcycle still made her uncomfortable but she was beginning to get used to it. She gripped Sparrow's stomach tighter. The street lights turned on and now the road was fully illuminated.

"Sparrow, I need to ask you a favor. Please, please, stop taking those pills."

 

[Sparrow]

"It's not that easy, Sarah."

Sparrow weaved intbetween two parked cars, and up upon a ramp.

"They're not just an addiction. They help with the pain. And the depression."

Sarah closed her eyes as Sparrow pulled the bike over some railings, and onto the soft beach sand.

"I'm not that same person I was all that time ago in University. I'm not even the same as I was when we met up with Samuel again."

Sparrow pulled the bike to stop, and hit down the stand with his left foot. Sparrow and Sarah sat down on the beach, infront of the sea. Sparrow hadn't even noticed it was already nightime, until he stared up at the moon.

"I wish I was though."

 

[SamuelT]

Samuel stopped in front of the house Iceous had pointed out. It was covered in icycles. Samuel smiled. Iceous had always had a sense of style.

He saw that the front door had been busted out, it was lying a few meters into the front lawn.

"Did..you do this?" Samuel asked Iceous.

 

[ae86gamer]

Sarah moved a bit closer to Sparrow. She looked at the beach, it was beatiful. The moon reflected off of the oceans surface and the surrounding area was completely quiet.

Sarah turned and looked at Sparrow. He was right, he was changed, he looked much more different than the last time they had met. Before he was light-hearted, always cracking jokes and was always happy. Now, he was much more serious, and he seemed depressed.
But even though he had changed Sarah still saw him in the same light, he would always be important to her, no matter what.

"For the pain... I wish I could help with that but I can't. But maybe I can help you with the depression part. Maybe I can help you get happy again." Sarah smiled sincerely. " Everyone changes Sparrow. People who don't think that they've changed are just lying to themselves."

 

[Dorian]

Iceous looked at the door laying on the ground.

"I.... I don't know. My memory's completely shot."

He cautiously walked inside. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. It was night time, so everyone was asleep. He rounded the corner and saw Sarah broken on the ground. He stumbled, breath caught in his lungs. "Sarah....." He picked up the larger pieces of her that remained. "What could have happened...... Oh, Sarah!"

He couldn't bear it. He knelt over her broken body and couldn't stop the flow of tears built up behind his eyes.

 

[Sparrow]

"Maybe."

Sparrow smiled.

"You haven't though. Still smart, still sweet, still pretty. I just wish I was the way I used to be. The way we used to be, before all this. When we roomed together at Uni, it was the best year of my life. And not just because it meant I could go to all the girl's basketball matches with you."

They both laughed, for what felt like the first time in years. Most likely, because it was.

"It was because we were together, all the time. It was just nice being around you. It still is."

 

[SamuelT]

Ah, damn it. Why can't someone socially sensitive do this kind of thing. Samuel thought as Iceous cried over his pieces of ice he called Sarah. This was why he didn't get attached to things. Only objects that could hurt you even harder.

He placed a hand on Iceous, who was starting to grow cold again.

"Iceous, you alright?"

 

[Dorian]

"No I'm not alright! What kind of horrible monster could have done this! Sarah! Sarah!" His voice degenerates into incoherent sobbing.

[Mind you, Sam, that the house is below freezing. I've got plans for this.]

 

[SamuelT]

[I have minded. Samuel just isn't one for expressing himself.]

Samuel sighed. This really wasn't his thing. He looked around while Iceous was sobbing on the floor. The furniture was icy, and snow covered the most part of the floor. Cute.

"Didn't you have other pets? What about them?" Samuel thought out loud.

 

[SamuelT]

Spoiler: OOC

I'm off to bed now guys; have to be up at six tomorrow [grumbles about hours in new job for a bit] but I'll be back by around six at the latest tomorrow evening - probably closer to five. Sam knows more or less what we're planning with my character so if you can hold off the moment until then it would be great.

[Sure thing.]

 

[ae86gamer]

Sarah continued to look at Sparrow.

"Your right. I always liked being around you too. You always made me laugh and you were the only one I ever felt close to. I could talk to you for hours and it would feel like only a few minutes had passed. I still like spending time with you. I feel more comfortable, more secure. Even after everything that happened five years ago, I never stopped caring for you Sparrow."

Sarah sighed and then turned her gaze at the moon.

"I have changed Sparrow. I'm not the same, I find myself resenting people more. When I was at work I saw people standing around a water cooler. They were talking about their lives and how uneventful they were. They spoke about their families and I heard how ungrateful they all were. I wanted to yell at them. Tell them that they should be happy that their lives are bland, tell them that they were idiots for thinking so many bad things about their family. But I had to keep my mouth shut. I just think its ridiculous how people say they hate their family. I would give up everything just to have mine back." Tears began to form in Sarah's eyes.

 

[Dorian]

Cicle crawled his way to the pair. "What on Earth is going on?"

Iceous sniffed and looked at him. "Sarah. She's....... she's dead." He looked over at Samuel. "This is Cicle, one of my pets." Cicle made a grating sound. "I mean a member of my family. The others are upstairs, except for Jake. He's too snooty to care though."

Iceous wiped his nose. "Cicle, you need to be the leader of the house for a while. I'm going with Sam. He's one of the people I told you about."

Cicle said nothing, but simple bobbed his head. He crawled back to his sleeping pad and went back to sleep.

He looked back at Sam. "I'll be ready in a few minutes. You can wait outside." He slowly climbed upstairs, as though he'd lost the will to live.

 

[SamuelT]

"Alright." Samuel said. He walked through the busted door and stepped into the warm night.

 

[Dorian]

After about 10 minutes, Iceous stepped through the door with a suitcase in one hand and a toolbox in the other. He rested the door against the frame and nailed the hinges back on. A quick check to see if the door was working, then he picked up his suitcase.

"I'm ready."

He walked over to the bike and whipped his eyes with his free hand.

 

[Sparrow]

Sparrow put an arm around Sarah.

"You've got a family. Samuel, Iceous, Emily, Scott, and me. We all care about you."

Sarah rested her head on his shoulder.

"Don't worry. I ain't going nowhere anytime soon."

 

[ae86gamer]

"Thank you Sparrow." Sarah looked at the moon. It was bright, very bright. The moons bright light reflected off of the oceans surface, making it possible to see the islands that were far off in the distance.

"I'm glad that I can count on you, on all of you. If I didn't have you guys then I wouldn't know what to do."
