"I'm sorry Glen I kind of had a nervous breakdown there it wasn't anything against you." Kaida genuinely looked upset over the idea she had once again let a friend down. Dang was she doing great at that. He mentioned a book they were after and Kaida just looked overall confused about what book they were talking about. Kaida grabbed her hair and pulled at it saying, "Ugh I don't like being left out of the loop, curse this job." Glen arrived back asking about where to find ice cream and Kaida shrugged and replied, "I don't know where but I'd like some! I'll pay for you guys as long as it's not too expensive."
Kassandra seemed to arrive right on cue for someone else to arrive. He looked back at Cynthia and replied, "She appears to be unconscious..." then when Kassandra made comment about the phone he looked down at it and found the contact almost as soon as the one she'd called arrived. Joshua looked at Tobias and backed closer to the cell after he stated his intentions and Joshua replied, "Kid, don't try to assume you know exactly what's going on. It'll get you killed. And I'm not talking about by me. So why don't you just turn around and go back the way you came." he held up the gun towards Tobias and continued, "Except I know you're probably not gonna listen to me."
Joshua walked out of his hiding space and reached the side of Cynthia. He wasn't sure if she was out cold yet, but as soon as she said, "Help me." He became concerned who she called. He quickly grabbed the phone out of her hands and shut it off before grabbing Cynthia's arm and lifting her up. He chose to not say a word and dragged Cynthia towards another cell. He kind of dropped her in the cell without much regard for her as a human being anymore. Then he shut and locked the door behind him. If Jason and Ben didn't finish up soon he was going to take matters into his own hands.
Joshua heard the shout, and Joshua heard the explosion. That wasn't good. That definitely wasn't good. If anything, he thought maybe there was suspicion, but not actual powers. This was most definitely proof if there ever was any. Cynthia seemed to be trying to walk away in a calm fashion based on the way she was breathing and the way her steps were paced, but he knew better. Joshua aimed the tranquilizer gun and shot it three times at Cynthia's chest. He knew he could at least get one in from his advantage but whether or not he could get more was uncertain. In fact he wasn't sure how she'd do with just one dart. It could work, it could not. He also couldn't see from his spot if they made impact because he was immediately transitioning to the second step. He didn't leave his spot, but he pulled out his gun. If she tried to make a run for it, he'd let her make it a few steps. But not out the door. He intended to shoot her legs. What would actually happen, he couldn't say.
Joshua listened to Jason's advice about not going near the cell, but he still made his way to that area regardless. He brought with himself his two handguns, and his special little friend the tranquilizer gun. He only had to pull it out on occasions such as this, when they were dealing with someone who could be deemed hostile. Joshua got himself into the room and heard Cynthia's yells, but did not respond to her, as he didn't wish to provoke her. He sat himself in a corner so he wasn't in Cynthia's line of sight. He had the tranquilizers placed in and ready, so if Cynthia had broken out of the cell he would be prepared to knock her out. Though he had the other gun out and ready in case she didn't get knocked out immediately.
Joshua listened to Jason's answer. He examined Jason's expressions as he spoke, and went through a long thinking process. His expression left no change, if it did it would be clear he was going through his own internal dilemma. He could tell Jason cared a lot about Cynthia even with this new information revealed. It hurt him to have to think that Cynthia turned out to even have powers at all. He knew that if Cynthia was killed for her powers, it would still hurt Jason. This was a dilemma he had every day with Abi. The difference being people knew Cynthia existed, Abi had never been mentioned. Ever. Joshua unfolded his hands and replied wholeheartedly, "You know our policy about any telekinetics or telepaths that are causing harm in any way." Joshua's voice lowered so Jason could hear him, "I know this is probably brand new information for you, and you were aware that Cynthia could in fact be psychic. So at the very least you haven't been hiding anything." Joshua put away the papers back in the folder as he continued, "I know how you feel about Cynthia, it's obvious you care about her, or at least I notice it. That's why I am not going to do anything myself, but this should be brought to Benjamin's attention immediately." Joshua looked Jason straight in the eyes and questioned, "Do you want to be the messenger and have me make sure nothing happens with Cynthia, or would you rather I told Benjamin and you went to watch over Cynthia?"
We're still looking through my mom's stuff, and today we found a bunch of her Where the Wild Things Are stuff. Which I really do love Where the Wild Things Are, even the movie which I know some people didn't like. I decided to quote one of my favorite quotes from the book, "Please don't go-- we'll eat you up-- we love you so." and I happened across this song. Which I really love. I've never heard this band before but I'm probably gonna start listening to more of their stuff based on this one.
Joshua listened to Jason explain the situation with Cynthia. During the conversation Joshua pulled a first aid kid out of his desk and placed it in front of Jason so he could use it to bandage himself if need be. Sure, it wasn't going to miraculously heal anything, but it'd at least do something. By the end of the explanation, he felt himself let out a slow breath as he folded his hands, "Jason, I know it is not a topic you necessarily want to discuss but I hope your aware that Cynthia's slip ups are starting to cause serious issues. I mean, it isn't all Cynthia's fault, but if these internal affairs keep up and Cynthia cannot work with anyone, I don't see how she'll have a future here." he was quiet for a moment before summing it up with, "But that's not my decision to make. If something happens to her you'd know about it long before me." Joshua started doing something that was a little more rare, and was something he found himself doing more when it was Jason talking with him than anyone else, showing emotion involving stress or playfulness. He wouldn't necessarily say Jason and he were friends, they got along. But Joshua and Jason were very close in age, where while even though Jason was technically a member for longer than Joshua, he was around when both of them were teens. So there was really no point in pretending he was an emotionless Bob with Jason around... because Jason knew Joshua when he was a lively little fifteen year old. Joshua pulled out a piece of paper and held his head as he read it, "Although hopefully this Tobias and Cynthia separation will now settle things down a bit..." he slammed the paper down on the desk and let out a laugh that was clearly an annoyed laugh, "Killing four people in front of security cameras are they absolutely kidding me..." He held up a printed shot of Tobias giving the finger to the camera and rubbed his temple, "It's like kids these days don't take their job seriously... or with at least some grace or dignity. Oh wow this job is making me sound like an old man... but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if this kid did a mission with absolutely nothing on...and I don't want to do that paperwork...anyway." Joshua placed the paper down and cracked his back and straightened himself up, "As long as most people got out of this okay, and the situation is taken care of, we should be fine... though there is one question I have." Joshua's break was over, and his face went straight back to it's emotionless interrogation face, "You've had skirmishes with Cynthia before, I've seen them. Usually you don't come out of it this bad. And from the way this situation sounded, you should have had more of the upper-hand with stopping her. I don't need to know anything, you can leave here and keep it to yourself, but is there something about this with Cynthia that I should know?" Abi was starting to head out of the casino when something felt off. She couldn't explain exactly what it was, but she didn't like it. It put her off in a way that killed what little of a good mood she still had left. Abi felt like she was being followed. Abi found herself walking faster and looking over her shoulder more often. When she got outside she unwrapped Buttercup's leash and she mumbled, "Alright Buttercup we're heading home, come on girl." "Can we run?!" "Absolutely." Abi felt Buttercup begin the run first, and Abi followed obediently almost as if she was the dog and Buttercup were the owner. But after they crossed the road, Abi felt the need to run faster, and started to run at almost the same speed as Buttercup.
He wasn't sure if he had even been in the room for 15 minutes before he started hearing commotion. He took his time since it just seemed to me consisting of yelling, but he started to hear something else that made him get up out of his chair and head for the door. When he left the room and went to turn the corner, all he heard was, "I am not afraid to kill you like I did mom. I have had enough." Joshua made it around the corner just in time to see Jason pinning Cynthia down and punching her until Cynthia was still. He heard him mumble an apology before standing up, Joshua let out a sigh and began to approach the situation, letting out in a monotonous voice, "Do I even want to know why I just witnessed the second in command pummel his daughter to the ground?" He fixed his hair and continued, "Inside incidents... not fun. Do I need to get Benjamin, or would you care to explain? Unless of course Benjamin heard that too, it wasn't exactly quiet."
Abi's running eventually tired out once she reached a couple blocks over. She wasn't quite sure what she wanted to do today. Buttercup would be happy with whatever, she just liked getting out of the yard. As Abi walked past a building, she heard a can get kicked and she turned her head out of curiosity. At a corner was a man wearing a cap and a hood, and he turned his head the second they made eye contact. Abi smiled and waved at the figure saying, "Hello!" Although she wasn't a human person, these people were around every day and she always said hello to them, and they always nodded back. That was probably the only interaction she had. Though sometimes she noticed they would be at some of the same places she went. She just thought it was a cool coincidence. Abi decided at that moment she wanted to go to Mandalay Bay... obviously not for the casino portion. She wanted to see the sea creatures, which she had idle conversations with. Usually it was only one at a time though. She'd also have to leave Buttercup outside, who wouldn't be too fond of that. After a long walk, perhaps a half hour or so, she finally made it to the casino. She tied Buttercup outside, who fortunately had no complaints. Then she went inside and made her way to the aquarium. It was beautiful every time she went there. The aquarium was pretty much a glass tunnel through the water, with the sea life swimming around from all directions. Abi was blissfully unaware of the crowd as she heard the gibbering between the manta rays and some of the sharks. The first animal she encountered was a great white shark, which looked right at her and she smiled at it as she sent a message to it telepathically, "Hello!" "Oh hey, it's the head talking girl again. Hey there." the shark swam a little closer to the tank glass and responded back, "Needed something interesting to happen today... it's just the same picture taking, people gawking, me scaring a couple of the little children... it's nice for you to show up and change the formula." One of the other sharks swam over and the two sharks began talking, "Who're you talking to?" "It's the human that talks without moving her mouth." "Eyyyy." Abi kept talking to the sharks with her telepathy and they followed her as she walked. She kept going with a conversation and more voices began to join in. She began to see more flashing but she didn't pay much attention. She spoke for a good half hour and realized her conversation wasn't with two sharks anymore. Then the flashes started to make sense. There were maybe 10 sharks staring at her in the same area. Abi began to freak out, she had stopped paying attention to maintaining a low profile. She let out a small laugh and looked at one of the photographers, "Weird right? I just... I was so amazed I couldn't stop staring." The sharks waited a bit before they began to disband. Abi realized it was time for her to go. She started to make her way out of the aquarium quickly to go and get Buttercup.
Joshua was called in. He didn't actually think of it as a bad thing, in fact, he was a little happy to get back into the office. It was his wife who wasn't fond of it. Joshua was packing up his work bag and he knew he was being followed everywhere he walked. Finally when he was about to leave he heard a soft, high pitched voice speak, "Josh..." He let out a small sigh and adjusted his glasses, turning towards his wife. She was tiny, and she looked young too. But she was forty, and her blonde hair was cut in a way that made her look even younger. He smiled slightly and responded, "It's okay Nadia, you have a month." Nadia placed her hand on her stomach, which held a very large baby bump. She looked away from him pained and spoke, "It's not that, I thought you were on vacation... you work too hard..." Joshua leaned towards her and kissed her on the forehead and smiled, "I'm fine, I promise. I'll try and come home in time for dinner. Just make sure she doesn't stress you out too much." Joshua then opened the door and left, heading for the driveway. His smile quickly faded to a straight face as he entered his car and pulled out all the papers he had faxed over. Again, the children were causing problems. Really, there was nothing as beautiful as reading the full reports on how two blood-thirsty assassins were messing things up. Reports, paperwork, deaths, images to keep up. As far as his wife knew it was just the image to keep up. If the media ever once released information that could be directly linked to Raven Sun it sure as hell wasn't when he was in charge of this position. He didn't want to hate kids, but if he had to see the name Cynthia Enger one more time on his paperwork he was going to go in and kill the girl himself. Except for the fact he couldn't actually kill her without Jason killing him. He didn't want to have problems with this girl, and he knew she sure as hell didn't have a singular opinion about him, but he wondered if maybe he told her about the hell it was to clean up her messes maybe she'd stop being so reckless. He started laughing out loud as he drove the car at that thought. When could you ever get someone so blood-hungry to care about the paperwork guy. Either way, this needed to stop. Cynthia Engel and Tobias Greipr were both on a mission together (how that was allowed he didn't know) to go after the "Silent Killer" (how THAT passed Benjamin okay he REALLY didn't know) and so far they were sloppy. Really sloppy. So sloppy in fact he was called off of his vacation to come in and deal with it. Joshua, just face it. As much as you may not like it, if someone came after her you would be just as upset and pissed off. Let's just try and deal with this as elegantly as possible, and hope to god no knives are thrown at you again for daring to criticize her sloppiness when she "gets the job done" When Joshua finally arrived, he immediately went straight for his room to fill out more papers. Abi had a tennis racket and a tennis ball in her hand, she was sitting outside of the house and hitting the tennis ball into a brick wall. Every time it hit it would make a pop noise and Buttercup would run to get it. Then it would bounce back, then the cycle would continue with Buttercup never getting the ball. "Come on Abi, it isn't fair! I just wanna catch it." "Bored." Abi hit the ball harder and laid down on the grass, managing to keep hitting the ball, "Bored." "Abi! Please?!" Abi hit it harder and it bounced off and flew higher than she intended and went further into the yard. Buttercup ran after it panting and caught the ball before it bounced. "I got it! I got it! I got it!" the dog marched over in victory and dropped the ball on Abi's lap, "Again!" "No." Abi sat up and looked over at the fence and mumbled so only Buttercup could hear her, "I'm going out." "Take me!" "No." "Take me take me take me take me take me." "No." "I will bark, mom will know, and then she'll tell dad. Then you can have fun with that." "You wouldn't." Buttercup let out a small bark and Abi hushed her, "Fine, fine! Gosh." she looked into the kitchen window and saw her mother watching t.v. and doing a crossword puzzle. She would be busy for a while. Abi grabbed Buttercup and let out a grunt as she pulled up the heavy dog and placed it on her shoulders. She then climbed over the fence and laid down on the sidewalk letting out heavy breaths. Buttercup nudged her with her nose and Abi sat up quickly and ran over to a bush. She grabbed a hidden leash (which she learned to hide when she was caught by a policeman with an unleashed dog and was sent home to angry parents) and put it on Buttercup and whispered excitedly, "Okay let's go!" and she began running, with Buttercup running with her.
Code Name: cstar Full Name: Abi Barry Photo I.D.: Abi & Buttercup Date of Birth: 8/15; 16 Telepathist/Telekinetic?: Telepathist Personality: Abi is psychically hyper, but doesn't like to talk to people. She gets easily bored (mostly due to parental restraints) but she's also easily excitable. She's kind to people when she has to be, but can easily come across as rude because sometimes she will just outright not respond to someone. History: Abi was born into a family with a very controlling father, and while at first she went to a normal school, she was pulled out of society when she was 6 after an inside-the-house incident with telepathic speaking. After that, she was kept home-schooled and was encouraged to find something to do within the safety of her home. Because of this (and the fact her family ended up giving her a pet dog named Buttercup) she found herself becoming more acquainted with animals. On her 13th birthday, she finally began her phase of sneaking out of the house to hang out with mostly birds, but humans started to finally grow on her as well. What she doesn't know is that her prying is eventually going to get someone to notice her powers. Level of Abilities: 1 Abilities: -Telepathic Communication -Mind-Reading - - Zoopathy- The ability to communicate with/understand animals. Strengths: Works well with animals, has a better understanding of the human and animal psyche due to this. She's very good at sneaking out/ breaking into places as well. She also has a good eye for nature and can take pretty good pictures. Weaknesses: Abi has a baby's understanding of the world still and is very not street smart and doesn't know to not talk to strangers and such.

Side: Neutral Code Name: cstar Full Name: Joshua Barry Date of Birth: 6/30; 45 Photo I.D.: Joshua Personality: To most people, Joshua is a smiling, warm personality that loves to make jokes and has an eloquent way of speaking. To victims/fellow members/family members, Joshua is a cold man who knows just what to say to get under the skin. While he is able to get along with people just fine, Joshua prefers to have people "take him seriously at the office". History: Joshua was born into a family that already had connections to Raven Sun. Because of this, he was trained to become a member pretty much since birth. When Joshua was 21, he became an official member of the Raven Sun. His speaking skills made him the go-to guy to get the police to turn a blind eye or get people to respect the Raven Sun organization. When he was 27 he met a woman, fell in love with her, and got married at 28. When he was 29 he had his first and only child, Abi. It was not hard for him to discover his daughter was a telepath and he was deeply disgusted yet immediately concerned. Being a man who was good at brushing incidents under the rug, he was not sure how to get a psychic daughter out of the picture he ended up homeschooling her instead and keeping her out of the public eye. In the end, Joshua ended up with a psychic daughter, and Raven Sun didn't know a thing about it. Now his daughter is a troublemaking teenager and he doesn't know how long he can keep it quiet. Member Title: Spokesperson (shows up to charity events when others can't on behalf of the organization), "Clean-up guy" [the one who deals with police manners when an accident of the Raven Sun needs to be swept under the rug]/Call-in Assassin [for those last minute jobs]. Time in Raven Sun: 24 years Weapon: A pocket knife, 2 hand guns, and a taser (no one ever suspects a taser!) Special Gadgets: His glasses are modified so illusion abilities on their own do not work as well. He also has earpieces that release frequencies that make it difficult (but not entirely impossible) to read/manipulate his mind. Strengths/Abilities: Joshua is very good at speaking, and very good at lying too. He's intelligent, knows how people tick, and has fantastic reflexes as well. Weaknesses: Joshua may have fast reflexes, but his weakness is his physical nature. He isn't strong, he can't run for long, and is completely blind without his glasses on. Hobbies: He doesn't really have a hobby, but he must complete his sudoku every morning, as is daily ritual. Other: Despite his hatred for psychics, he loves his daughter. Side: Neutral

Save the dog from the vicious monster that is the blanket? Blankets are awful, horrific beings. They kill nearly 50,000 animals a year in cold blood. It's why I refuse to treat them with respect.
You're name seems REALLY familiar and it's been bothering me for the past 20 minutes actually. I'm cstar! The only difference is that I was cstar7777 back then. It's nice to see people come back!
A type of anomaly that exists with the soul purpose of bringing about laughter and fear from the same comment. I hear they also like to sing disney songs.
