Carylanne - Propwash Juction - Tags: Rosalie

Carylanne felt her engine warm up, embarrassed, and maybe a little disturbed, for not seeing it before. She swallowed and stared at the ground for a moment. "I don't know how I missed it...I was so caught up in daydreaming. And well...falling to sleep. It's been a few days since I've gotten some decent rest."

The Mustang said it had something to do with an attack. Considering Propwash's location, it was a bit strange. "What did the group look like? Who did it consist of?"

Carylanne choked for a moment when she remembered Jerry and Marley, but fell back into a sense of relief with a heavy sigh. Marley was leaving about a week ago to head out of state but said they'd be back before what Rosalie mentioned as a fight. Jerry must have gone with him. But after they heard the news, they probably decided not to come back. But, it was just a guess. Marley was smart and knew better, but Jerry could've talked him into doing something irrational. In other words, coming back here.

"I uh....I really need to check on something.. er..somebody. They told me they were leaving Propwash for something that's happening out of state, but I don't know if they came back...o-or if they survived."

"That's quite alright, I've had my fair share of days without sleep, so I understand what you mean." Rosalie stated with a small smile. "I don't really know much about the group, other than that they seemed to be military trained..." The mustang stayed quiet as the younger muscle car became rather distressed and nervous, tilting her hood to the side curiously.

"Do you need help looking for them then?"

Doc - Streak

Doc looked at the dragon. "I meant among the attackers." He growled back. He was getting the feeling this creature didn't trust him. "I saw the injured civilians, but I meant if there were any attackers left alive. My mission was to see if I could gain information from them."

He didn't need to go through this, mainly with a creature he knew nothing about. And attacking the dragon wasn't a good idea in his mind and he knew it too. "Do you really distrust me that much? We need to work together on this. And I don't need to be reminded I wasn't honest about my reasons for being here either." He added.

Doc hoped Lightning would wake up soon. He wanted-no, needed-to tell him how sorry he was for deceiving him like that. He wanted to tell him everything, even about how proud he was of the younger racecar. But would Lightning even want to associate with him after what he pulled? Doc honestly didn't know...

Streak - Tags: Doc

"Oh, no," Streak said, shaking his head. "Those that weren't killed fled. We tried getting information from two of them... they spoke cryptic." He made a face, "I have a feeling that they really are on their last leg, per say... they kept saying that it was them or us, and of course they chose us. Something about blue turning crimson? Something like that. Like I said: cryptic. I hate cryptic... dragons used to speak in rythmes all the time back where I came from. It always got so confusing."

Carylanne - Propwash Junction - Tags: Rosalie

Carylanne smiled nervously and waved her tire to her right; gesturing in the general direction that their home was located. "Oh I hope you're okay with it! I just want to make sure they're okay. Besides, I wanted to hear more about the attack if you don't mind. The fact that they're possibly military is a bit odd.....Do you think they're hiding something?"

Reversing, the interested car backs up and turns around. She was down to a cruising pace to give them a little more time to talk considering their home wasn't that far from where they were currently at. "I never did get your name."

[ZAFTPrime]

Doc - Streak

Doc seemed to look down in thought at this. "When blue turns crimson... That reminds me of something one of the attackers at the conference said. Something about red turning blue. Other than that, I can't recall anything else." He replied as he looked back at the numerous forms on the ground. "D***... So much for trying to get information from these guys..."

((Mwahahahah! I know! It'd be great if it was just a story I was posting... but it's not, and that's what's cool about this. Oooh man I loved this post! ))

Oskar and Skipper - Tags: Rush, Shinn

Skipper blinked, and seemed to reverse just a tad at Rush's forceful words. "Uh..." was all he could say at first, looking from Rush to Oskar and back to Rush. "He... he did?" Skipper's voice sounded a little choked now, and his face was one of bewilderment, as if trying to make sense of this all. German... plane... fought... for Propwash? REALLY? But they were... the enemy! How could... how could this be? Why would a former German interceptor be fighting FOR them? Shaking his front as if to clear himself from a daze, the Skipper looked at Oskar now and let his steely face reform.

"This true?" he asked.

"Ja! Ja! I wanted to help! I shot down a helicopter and buzzed a few cars." Oskar confirmed, nodding rapidly.

"Huh..." Rush's words struck Skipper like a wall of bricks collapsing onto him. He was no more an enemy than the ones who'd died in their squadron... those words... they were like a javelin through his fuselage. "I... I see..." He said, shock and resignation in his voice. "Then... then I guess... I guess there's... nothing to... I..." He stuttered, looking at Oskar again, he gave him a smile. "Ugh! Fine! I'll... I'll... ugh... trust him I guess..." Skipper muttered, looking off to the side here as he was barely audible.

Oskar gave him a nod and continued to smile before he was addressed by what looked like a mix between an American fighter jet and a... MIG? He was asking what had happened, and Oskar turned to address him.

"I'm afraid I don't know what went on here... I was off gliding when I heard the noises... terrible noises... when I turned around, I could see them... cars attacking the town... so I swooped in and fought back. I managed to down a helicopter and shot up a few other cars before I had to stop. They were starting to fall back at that point... no idea who they were, or what they wanted, sorry." Oskar apologized to him, shrugging his flaps in a puzzled manner.

Finn - Tags: Aeris, Aero, Streak, Doc, Lightning

"So... something that could throw off our perception of... how we came to be?" Finn asked, curious about this. "And he died I assume... so no answers forthcoming... great." he sighed, unsure where to proceed from here. "I'll relay that to headquarters... but I need to find out more. Do you have his name?" he queried Doc. His name would be a good place to start, since Finn could pull up his files and extrapolate from there. "We're missing something here... why would they attack a conference like that just to cover up our origins? It doesn't make any sense..." He overhead what Streak said though, and it seemed to confirm what he'd overhead from Dusty. "What the he** are we dealing with here?" Finn murmured. "Us vs. them? Blue to red? Who are them... and what do they want? You there!" He spoke to the dragon now. "You think they're on their last leg... why?" he inquired. "You have any inkling as to who 'they' are?" he pressed.

Turning to Doc, he quickly shot off an "No... they're all dead. The survivors fled." This was an intriguing puzzle... one he intended to get to the bottom of if he could.

Blade - Tags: Otter

"Yeah... thanks..." Blade replied, wondering if he could open up to Otter or not. "Come on... this way." He tapped him again with his tail, and began leading him towards the nearest cafe, which was sort of attached to the Fill N' Fly, as it was behind the building. "You know... I uh... I lost a friend too... and I couldn't save him... I still don't know if... if I've ever really gotten over it." he confessed here. Wincing again, he felt the fluid starting to coagulate, and slow its escape from his body. "I think I'm... stopping... bleeding that is." Blade commented, but halted as gasps could be heard and cars were looking up into the sky. Evening was setting in over Propwash Junction now, and the moon was visible in the softer light. It was one of those instances where the moon and sun were out at the same time, but that wasn't what everyone was looking at...

Blade himself halted, and gasped as well, a sound of disbelief escaping his mouth. "What the... he**?" he asked, staring at what everyone else was looking at... and felt his jaw drop down as if someone had placed a slab of lead in it as he gaped at what he could see...

Dusty - Tags: Shadow

"A vision?" Dusty asked, looking down at her and meeting her eyes. "I... I... I don't know what it was... it was... so real... I just... I don't know..." Dusty said here, shaking his front, mystified and trying to make sense of it all. "Yeah... maybe... maybe I'm just stressed... I just... I need to rest..." He agreed shakily, trembling as he moved toward her. "Maybe I should go to my hanger... try and... try and just... I dunno... forget all this... relax... help others... do stuff..." His thoughts just came tumbling out of his mind like rocks in a landslide, and he had trouble trying to form them up.

He looked up to the sky, and noticed it right when others started to do so as well... "WHAT THE...?" he asked, feeling his heart absolutely freeze in his fuselage as if ice had encased it and stopped it dead. "That... that isn't possible!" he declared, nose pointing right at it. The blue and white of their moon could be seen in the sky, the sun's light playing off it but... there was something beside it... something round... cratered... as big as what it stood beside... but... it blazed with a crimson light. It was ominous, sinister, and alien. "Since... since when do have TWO MOONS?" Dusty asked, eyes wide as he stared at the satellite that had seemingly materialized from nowhere. Word was spreading rapidly throughout the town now.... two moons... there were TWO moons in the sky...

[Titanic X 21]

Spray - Doc, Finn, Aeris, Lightning, Streak

Spray shot a glance up at the sky, and his eyes widened. "What the...?" He felt his mouth fall open. Two moons and the strange comments from the attackers... it all seemed to connect, but it was like a strange puzzle... no, more like a code they had to crack. His eyes narrowed as he studied the two moons. "Two moons? This... This has never happened before..."

As he looked up, his eyes narrowed a bit more and for a brief moment he saw... something. But what was it? He looked over at the others.

"You guys seeing this?" he asked.

[adelphi prime.]

{I feel so idiotic in my excitment here... when a roleplay gets THIS good I just can't contain myself. Ha! If you saw my grinning right now... I'm laughing at myself. Also, sorry for my slowness... looks like MAJOR weather is comin' towards us Saturday and Sunday... so much so that the whole state ordered TWO tests of the tornado sirens today.}

Streak - Tags: Finn

Streak turned to Finn as he was once again called. The dragon sighed. "See, I don't come from this world. I lived a good portion of my life in another dimension -the place I hail from. I hatched into war. It was my species against all of dragonkind, it seemed, but most of all a large poplation of what we liked to dub Deathstalkers -dragons who had taken our land, the land where we ice dragons lived. They'd killed so many of us without even realizing it, pushing us into the brink of extinction. And then our species rose up against them... As my father liked to put it, it was our survival or theirs. That war killed thousands of dragons on both sides, more on the Deathstalkers' side than ours..." He shuddered, remembering a time when they'd attacked a small group of caves where nesting grounds were. Every one of those hatchlings and eggs... they all had died. "Innoceints. Like here and now. And hearing almost the exact words my father had said... I think they're in the same position as my kind was. And if there's not a peacful agreement... I don't even want to know what could happen."

Streak glanced upwards, suddenly doing a doubletake. What looked like two moons were hanging hazily in the sky, one a vibrant crimson. Like blood. A sharp, cold frozen feeling sliced down his spine. Two moons were not bizzare to him, his homeworld having three, but here? It was wrong. It blazed with a feirce evil. The dragon felt his wings flatten to his sides and his ears to his head, leaning down fearfully. It reminded him of a dragon named Plauge -and for good reason. He'd been one of the leaders of the allies of the Deathstalkers, and he could quite literally breath flies, or if he felt like poisoning, send out burning red plasma, which raced across the landscape and destroyed whatever it hit, as well as allowing seepign poison into the ground and water as it flew.

Rush - Tags: Oskar, Skipper, Shinn

"If we did we'd probably be doing something other than standing here," Rush said softly. Then he turned his attention back to Skipper. "Don't worry, I didn't trust him right away either." The Corsair hadn't yet noticed the shimmering red second moon yet, his mind on other things.

Otter - Tags: Blade

The only notion the F-18 got that something dreadful and confusing was happening was by the shocked gasps and exclamations of the crowd. To him, fear was a tangible object, able to be felt even without eyes to see it. It reverberated through the air, and Otter felt half paniced that he didn't know what it was that was doing this. "What is it? Blade?"

[Dusty Crophopper]

((Oh yeah! I even creeped myself out a little with that post. And it's OK! I'm gonna be dreadfully slow myself for the rest of this tour, since like... I'm only free tonight where I'm grabbing some free internets at Starbucks while my group is at Broadway plays. XD))

Finn - Tags: Streak, Aeris, Doc, Aero, Lightning

"I see... so you think... it's a war do you? Hold on... I'm getting a flash transmission..." Finn said, looking down as he heard something incoming. "There's a... a... a SECOND moon?" His eyes whipped up to the sky now even as Streak was looking up there, and the sight froze Finn's oil cold in his pipes. "That... no that can't be! What is the meaning of this?" he asked no one in particular. He snapped photographs of it, though no doubt headquarters could see it plainly from where they were, night having fallen over there now. "I don't believe this... it can't be!" He repeated, a sudden feeling of dread passing over him.

Suddenly, another transmission came in. "Yes?" Finn asked, straining to listen over the voices of chatter all around him. "You're doing WHAT?" he asked in a demanding fashion. "I can't possibly do that! You're out of your minds?" he snapped.

"Orders? Well WHOSE orders? I can't watch him AND..." But then he stopped, listening further. "I... I... you can't harness me with this now!" He protested. "I understand but... ugh! Fine! I'll deal with it later!" he cut out the transmission, and sighed, rolling his eyes in exasperation.

Blade - Tags: Otter

"It's... it's a second moon Otter!" Blade breathed. "It's a second freaking moon! It's... it's about the size of our own... but it's red! Deep red! Like blood! I don't... I don't know where it came from!" he explained. "I'm not sure anyone does! I've never... never seen anything like this! Where's it come from? Otter I... I don't know what's... even going on anymore..." Blade trailed off here, staring up at the sky, hypnotized by the display. "I'm getting... I'm getting a bad feeling about this..."

Oskar and Skipper - Tags: Rush, Shinn

As the commotion spread through the town, Oskar leaped back a little, an easy thing for a such a small plane. "Herr Rush! Herr Skipper! Look!" he pointed with his wing, angling his body to do so as his eyes widened to the size of the twin moons now displaying in the sky. "What... what do you make of THAT? It's... not natural!" He insisted. "Where did such a... THING come from? Why is it here?" He began reversing as Skipper looked up with his stern gaze as well, which quickly melted away into one of shock and disbelief.

"What in the...?" was all he could manage at first.

Dusty - Tags: Shadow, Blade, Otter

A sudden thought entered Dusty's mind now, and he began heading around Shadow. "The news! They might have something on about it!" he insistently told her. He began making a beeline toward the Fill N' Fly, heading past Blade and Otter on the way. "Blade! Otter! Come on! The news might have something about this!"

Blade nodded. "Right! Come on Otter! Let's go!" he began following after the firefighter, who practically tore into the filling station.

"Dottie!" Dusty called. "Dottie!" She was staring at the sky as well, and shook her head, snapping out of her dazed state. "The news! Let's hear what's on!"

"Oh! Right!" she exclaimed, zipping over to the TV and switching it on. Dusty's eyes rotated towards the screen as the news was plastered with images of the new moon hovering in their skies.

"In what astronomers are calling the Twin Moon Phenomenon, it appears that our Earth now has a second moon in the sky. How such a thing has occurred is still being hotly debated, though rumors are rife on the net and across the world. Anything from an unknown planetoid being pulled into our orbit to the satellite appearing as if by magic, speculation is on the rise but no solid theories have been forthcoming just yet. Astronomers are saying that this secondary moon does not have an orbit matching our own moon's... while they may intersect in what scientist are calling a double lunar eclipse, they are still trying to path its orbit and how long its lunar cycle will be. We wish we had more information right now... but until we get word back from the scientific community... all we can do... is speculate..."

Dusty gulped, and looked up at the moon again, wondering what it all meant.

"You get that, Otter?" Blade asked. "You hear all that?"

Miles Axlerod - Tags: No One

There was a sudden clamor in the plane, and the agents all drove to the windows. Miles twisted, wishing he could see what was going on. "Uh... what?" he asked, but they didn't answer at first, all yammering and pointing and talking. "HEY!" he called. "What's bloody going on out there?"

"There's a second moon!" one agent finally called.

"A second... what? Did you just say MOON?" Miles asked with bewilderment.

"Yeah! Big and red! It's... clearly visible off our starboard wing!"

"A second... moon?" Miles asked again, blinking a few times and trying to process it. "Where did it come from? Are you sure?"

"It's right THERE!" an agent shouted.

"Well I can't bloody see it!" Miles snapped. "I can't see... anything..." he whimpered, slumping in his seat with a pouting frown.
