Post Tenebras Veritas (Planes/Cars RP)

[Dusty Crophopper]

((Yep! Aeris is going, and I'm leaving it open so anyone can volunteer. I figured most of your characters would, as they put up some pretty good fights in that battle. ^^))

[Alfor]

(Okay! I must have missed that part xD | Hmmm...I'm probably going to involve all but Wilson, because he just doesn't care lol. Also I fixed Rosalie's forum bc she's a Racer and I never put that down whoops [Her racing # is 39])

Aeris | Tags: everyone

The smaller Martin had a shy smile on his face, taken by surprise. It was difficult to spot him in crowds unless you knew which type of car you were looking for. He seemed slightly uncomfortable with all the "attention," which was normally curious glances at him, but he urged himself to stay calm. Aeris was still edgy due to the attack, so obviously he was easily startled by loud noises in general... or when someone snuck up on him. Thankfully he hasn't had any panic attacks. He took that as a good omen... for now at least.

Rosalie | Tags: Wilson, everyone else

Rosalie had started to drive forward but was abruptly stopped by her brother, Wilson. She narrowed his eyes at him dangerously and he faltered, before glaring back at her. "Wilson, I'm a grown --- woman, not a five year old," the slightly younger Ford Mustang hissed quietly, not that she needed to. With the others talking it'd be hard to hear the comment in the first place. Wilson stared at her for a while longer before nodding and backing away, "stay safe...you're still my sister."

The middle-aged racer flashed a smile at her brother before driving forward. She couldn't help but use the pun, "I volunteer as tribute." She was trying to lighten the mood, but it was obvious that she was being serious at the same time with her tone of voice.

Lucas & Raven | Tags: everyone

The Hollows siblings drove forward as well. They had nothing better to do anyway, and both were keen on bringing justice to Propwash Junction... even if they had only been here for a day. Lucas's injured wing was still bandaged, as it had been peppered with bullets and was still healing. Other than that he was perfectly fine, and so was his sister.

Jigsaw & Sheriff | Tags: everyone

Jigsaw seemed to hesitate before taxing forward. He wanted vengeance for what had been done to his home. "Justice must be served for what they have done," he said in a slightly gritty tone. The old warbird's eyes glittered with determination, not one to sit back and do nothing. He was very patriotic, and a veteran to boot, so seeing an attack like this on his homeland made him uncharacteristically furious.

Sheriff had hesitated before driving forward. He didn't want to be separated from Doc again, and his new friend Jigsaw was going too. He and the old warbird had struck up a conversation last night and it had sprung up a friendship. "I ain't going anywhere without Hugh!" The old Mercury stated stubbornly in his usual grumpy tone.

Blade - Tags: Otter, Doc

Blade was wearing some plates over his injuries from yesterday... he'd had to have those patched by Dottie after the crowds died down. They weren't serious... but they would cause some discomfort over the next few days. He wasn't aware of someone coming up on him though, and when he was tapped, he whirled to the side, eyes wide, and gave a gruff exhale. "Ugh! Jeez! Don't sneak up on a chopper like that!" he insisted. "Can I help you?" he asked, looking this... Hornet over. He was a vintage car... vintage... hopefully he wasn't an ally of that vintage car from Otter's vision. He regarded him with a guarded look, but figured nothing would be attempted in such a crowded spot. He only hoped he was wrong too...

Finn - Tags: Everyone, Aeris

Finn finally spotted his son and beamed, nodding at him. Others came up... one even volunteering as... tribute. He raised his brow at her, and gave her a questioning look, though it did elicit some chuckles from the crowd. "All right..." Finn nodded, taking pictures of them and finding most of them in the database. He added them to the growing list, and seemed satisfied with the sign-ups so far. Driving down from the platform to take stock, he headed in his son's direction. "You'll be OK with coming with me... right?" he asked him softly.

Dusty - Tags: Jigsaw, Sheriff, Shadow, sort of Rosalie

Dusty chuckled at Rosalie's joke, and rolled up to Jigsaw now. "Hey! Glad to have you! Have to admit... I'm not really sure how I can help but you... you fought well yesterday." Noticing Sheriff nearby, Dusty's eyes lit up. "Hey! And you! You uh... you know Sarge, right? I saw a picture of Sarge with Mayday, my boss! He mentioned he was from Radiator Springs, and described someone like you! Yeah! I think it's you! He and the Sarge were old war buddies!"

Miles Axlerod - Tags: Raven and Lucas

Miles was trying to make himself scarce in the crowed, but suddenly, without warning (thanks to his looking behind him in his wing mirrors), he nearly plowed into a bandaged wing. "Oh! Terribly sorry about that!" he apologized, giving a nervous grin to the two planes, who appeared to be... related. "Could've made that worse I guess!" he nodded at the bandage, still smiling nervously.

Shadow Tags: Dusty, Miles, Lucas, Raven

She had smiled to Dusty once he had been announced, but some part of her couldn't help but feel nervous. She didn't want to lose any more lives.... would everyone be able to cope? She had trusted Finns actions before, so no reason to start doubting them now, she told herself, making her way round the group, her eyes scanning them all. There were a lot of brave faces here. As she made her way round, she noted that she was skirting toward a couple of similar looking planes, one with his wing bandaged up. She submerged around them, looking to the one with the bandaged wing. "Hey, is that healing ok? Will you still be able to fly?" She asked with concern, her gaze darting to them both, before a certain voice made her stop. Of course Axlerod had been given free reign now.

She frowned a little, attempting to hold her tongue, but found that for some reason, her mind betrayed her. "I didn't know they let terrorists out on probation. So tell me, what's prison like? I'm VERY sure you have such a wonderful time in there, just think, you'll be going back! How exciting!" She said here coldly, acid heard within her voice. She had a fake smile on her face before it vanished. "The sooner the better" She retorted, scowling at him a little.

Doc - Tags: Blade, Otter

"Sorry. But I couldn't help overhear what you were talking about." Doc began before he caught sight of Blade's guarded look. He sighed. Not this again... "Look, I was wondering if you two could help clarify something for me."

He needed to word this carefully he knew. "I couldn't help but overhear you mentioning red replacing blue. It reminded me of something I was told after I was attacked five years ago at a medical conference. One of the attackers mentioned the same thing and I don't really know what that means, even today. I was hoping you two might be able to explain that a bit to me."

Doc then decided to show the chopper his FBI lettering, hoping that would elicit some feelings of relief. "I also happen to work with the FBI." He added.

Shinn - Tags: Miles, Shadow, Dusty, Lucas, Raven

Shinn looked over and saw a black car apparently talking to a Range Rover who looked a bit uneasy around her. He frowned a bit. The Wrenches knew of the racing world due to Dusty and his connections to it, but to see the car who had caused such an uproar with the racing world, and yes, even the Jolly Wrenches, here, well, this was awkward to say the least.

He taxied over to the duo, being careful to avoid anyone else in his way. His red eyes were fixed on the black car specifically though, as she seemed to be the antagonizer here. "Is there a problem with him, miss? Has he done anything to harm you physically?" Shinn asked, hoping to get her attention. With his dark grey color and his red eyes, Shinn could look very menacing if he wanted to be, and right now, he did with his eyed narrowed and sharp teeth revealed in a slight snarl. Only this time, it was directed away from the Range Rover and towards the black car.

Jigsaw & Sheriff / Tags: Dusty, sorta Rosalie

Jigsaw smiled, "you fought well too. Strafing them and attacking from the skies was an excellent move. Most of us weren't able to take off, so you were at the advantage." The old warbird said in a gruff voice. "You'll probably do fine, just make sure to stay alert and don't hesitate to defend... or even go on the offensive." He knew that this mission would cause a lot of injury and pain, considering the group they were trying to take down. Hopefully there would be no casualties in this mess.

Sheriff was taken by utter shock when he mentioned Sarge, and even more shocked that his old war buddy Mayday lived here. "Sarge talks about his war buddies all the time, I believe he's mentioned Mayday the most," he stated calmly. Dusty was rather talkative and a bit bubbly. He just hoped the young plane wouldn't talk his side mirrors off.

Lucas & Raven / Tags: Miles, Shinn, Shadow, sorta Dusty

"Oh hey! You're fine, just be more careful." Lucas chirped, deciding to be friendly to the Rover. He was much bigger than him, after all. His mood, however, quickly changed when Shadow once again put her tire in her mouth...so to speak. He rolled his eyes in annoyance, "last time I checked he didn't kill anyone himself. Yes he did bad things, but everyone deserves a second chance. I've done some things I'm not proud of either and I don't want to be reminded of it... do you think he wants to be reminded either?"

Raven watched the exchange quietly, although she did narrow her eyes. She didn't exactly have the greatest temper.

Aeris / Tags: Finn

Aeris nodded, smiling. "I thought you would have wanted me to stay," he seemed more relieved than anything else that he was going... even if it was dangerous. He also wanted to prove himself, which was hard for him to do because first he needed to come out of his shell of timidness.

(Rosalie is open if you want to speak directly to her, and Im replying on my phone right now so there might be spelling mistakes.)

Dusty and Miles - Tags: Shadow, Raven, Lucas, Shinn, Jigsaw, Sheriff

Miles nodded at the bigger plane, but reversed a little when Shadow came up to him, digging her teeth into him once more. He cringed here, closing his eyes as she basically just thrust the knife into him, though others surprisingly came to his defense. There was a mix between what looked like a Russian jet fighter and something else... and the two planes he'd nearly run into. "Er... yes..." Miles said here. "Why don't you attack me and join me?" he challenged here. "Put your money where your mouth is... Agent Carlisle. Experience the world through my tires." He listened as Shinn and Lucas both spoke up, and had to admit... he agreed with Lucas for sure.

"You know what? You're right... I DON'T like being reminded of it." he added. "I just want... I know what I did OK? I have mixed feelings about the whole thing and if I had the option I... I never would've done it in the first place if I could get a repeat! But we don't get repeats in life, so no... I'm not looking forward to going back to prison!" he snapped.

Over by Jigsaw and Sheriff, Dusty looked away. "Naw... I... I didn't do much in all honesty. I don't even have weapons on me. All I really did was just... help others escape. I DID manage to buzz a few but eh... I'm not really... a fighter." he pointed out here.

"But wow! Yep! Mayday does live here! He talks about Sarge a lot too! I never thought I'd actually see any others from Radiator Springs here, but first Lightning, and now you!It's turning into a very interesting..." But he halted as he heard Shadow ripping into Miles again. He cringed. "Could you... excuse me for a moment?" he asked, rolling away now towards this other group.

"Uh Shadow... you mind if I talk to you... in private?" Dusty emphasized, his teeth grinding a little here as he motioned with his blue eyes to lead her away from the group.

Finn - Tags: Aeris

"Absolutely not!" Finn replied, giving his son a warm smile. "I'm not leaving your side again! Heck this mission is already unorthodox, and I won't mind if you come along. I could even show you a few things if you wanted." he suggested, grinning here. "I've still got moves, despite my mileage, and I'd be happy to teach you a few things." He offered.

Blade - Tags: Otter, Doc

Blade relaxed upon seeing he was FBI. "Hmmm... well... I don't think we can, unfortunately. From what Otter told me... it's just what the car said. I mean I seem to think it has something to do with that moon in our sky now. The new one. And uh... well I think... he called themselves red... and us blue... whatever that means. I mean how are we different? And what are they? How are they able to control... death?" he asked softly, his thoughts wandering once more to Nick. He hadn't explained that part though, so Doc probably wouldn't know what he meant. "I mean... are we in some sort of war with people we don't even know about? And how do you explain these terrorists who'd have no reason to work together suddenly banding into a unit to launch these attacks?" he asked.

"I don't get it... but I guess we'll be learning more with this... mission now." he concluded.

Shadow Tags: Miles, Raven, Lucas, Shinn, Dusty

The Celica cut her eyes as the others leapt to his defense yet again. She didn't care at this point what the others said about him, she knew what he was capable of, even if the others were too blind to see it, too trusting. " A leopard never changes its spots, I dont trust him. He hasn't hurt me, but then again, I wouldn't let him" Shadow said here, though her glare remaining on the Rover. She looked to those surrounding her, seeing that once again she was outmatched, deciding that perhaps this wasn't such a bright idea. They were meant to be working together after all..... She was about to perhaps dig herself a bigger hole, and retaliate, when Dusty's voice shot through her, causing her to flinch a little on her tires. She reversed a little and turned to look at him, her expression slightly worried now.

"Uh... yeah.... sure...." She said here, moving away from the small group, turning around once she figured she was a safe distance away. "Let me guess.... i need to learn to work with him, i need to put the past behind me, and so on" Shadow said here, an almost tired look crossing her features. She couldn't.... forget those agents. Those dead innocent..... did no one else care?

(pssst, Lucas was the one that spoke lol)

[Dusty Crophopper]

((Yep! Fixed!))

Dusty - Tags: Shadow

Dusty moved away with her now, and listened as she started to back off a bit and preempted what he was going to say... but only sort of. "Uh no actually... that wasn't it. Not fully." He began. "Partly yes... you're going to have to find a way to work with him... not against him... because he's part of this task force now too. For US though... I don't... I really don't know if I want to be around you if you're just going snap without provocation!" he insisted. "I mean come on! You sought him out and verbally attacked him unprovoked! If he had said something to you, then fine... I totally get that. Let him have it! But starting fights just for the sake of starting fights because you don't like him? I just thought... I dunno... I thought you were better than that." Dusty said here, looking away from her now. "It doesn't make you any better than him if you're just going to go around antagonizing every vehicle you don't like!" he pointed out. "I'm not asking you to be his friend or get along with him but... insulting and antagonizing him first when he didn't say anything to you?"

"I just... I dunno... I thought you were a little different, that's all. You're so nice to me otherwise but this darker side of you I... I don't know if I like it." Dusty informed her. "I will push back if you push me but I don't go picking fights just for the sake of doing that either." he informed her. "You... you understand what I'm saying?" His eyes finally met hers here, searching hers for answers... or confirmation that she at least understood what he was driving at.
