Taking a {.walk.} [ Kimahri && Freefall]

[Gwen Cooper]

For a sunny day in Cardiff there wasn't really many people around.Nor was there much Rift activity. Gwen had just come out of the Torchwood Three Hub, an underground base in the middle of Cardiff. She was wearing her favorite pair of jeans and a light blue t-shirt. Her handbag was hanging by her side moving as she walked. There was a light breeze running through the city, it made her brown hair move as she walked on. She had come out of the Hub just because she needed some space. She loved working for Torchwood but sometimes she just wanted to escape the low lit hub and all those aliens, just to get out and have a normal day. Of course normal was a word she rarely used now, nothing was normal. Just over a year ago she wouldn't have believed in aliens, but now, she worked to capture the things. More than strange. As she walked Gwen saw something out of the corner of her eye, something moving quickly and oddly. shit she thought to herself. She knew what it was right away, but what the hell was a weevil doing out at this time? Something must be wrong. She turned around and looked to where the weevil had gone, it was a good thing she still had her gun in her bag, and that she was wearing shoes she could run in. Right.. time to get this weevil in she thought to herself. With that she set off at a jog, going to where she saw the weevil go. She just hoped that she would get it before someone else got in it's way.

[.:|Freefall|:.]

Shopping definitely calmed her mind, Alex decided. She really needed a break from all this paranormal stuff, though she had really only just started, but was still finding herself needing to get used to it. So, she had taken a holiday, to Cardiff. The wind ruffled her mid-length blonde hair as she strode down the main street in the city, her one shopping bag bumping rhythmically against her leg. She hadn't bought much yet, for she had only just started, but she wasn't really a shopaholic anyway, even on a good day like today.

In truth she hadn't entirely come here for a relaxing holiday, no she liked at least some action. As fact she knew that Cardiff was the base of Torchwood Three. In the event that she might stumble on to something while she was out walking, she wanted to help. There wasn't really much in the way of alien activity up in Glasgow, so a change would have been nice.

Rounding a corner, she headed off down into a little backstreet, a little short cut she knew. Then, apparently from out of nowhere, though she knew that it was from behind the bins in front of her, something jumped out at her. She had a split second to register just what it was before she leapt into action, sending it a snap kick in the belly. Dropping her bag, before it could recover, she twisted round, smashing it in the side of the head with her foot, sending it wheeling away. The energy left over from that kick caused her to spin around more slightly, and outside on the street, she could see another figure coming towards them.

Kimahri ran towards the pair that stood in the alleyway one he recognized as a weevil the other he had never met but he knew that she had seen a weevil before so she must be from torchwood.He lowered himself down to check the pulse he could only feel a slight beat from it.
"You knocked it out cold" he said.
Before she could answer another weevil appeared behind the girl which was being followered by a girl who had longish black hair, Kimahri tried to see if he reacinised the person but he couldnt she the face clearly all he could see was the gun in her hand and the weevil coming straight at him .
"This isnt my day" he muttered as it came closer.
Kimahri quickly lowered hiis hand to his waist and pulled out the alien weapon that he had discovered a few years back.He didnt know why but he needed nothing for it as it seemed to reload itself and had a endless supply of power because this weapon wasnt like a gun instead of firering bullets it fired electricity.
Kimarhi aimed it at the weevil and in a flash the weevil fell Kimahri turned to go and then......

[Gwen Cooper]

Hey! where the hell did you get that?

Gwen had been sprinting after the weevil when she saw two figures and another wevil ahead of her. When the male had pulled out an alien weapon and shot the weevil Gwen stopped in her tracks. Who was this man and where the hell did he get his hands on alien tech? Gwen walked past the fried body of a the weevil and toward the blonde haired male. She still held her gun in her hand, but it was lowered. Behind the male figure was a woman, a blonde haired woman. Gwen couldn't hake the feeling away that she had seen this woman before, but she was almost sure she had, she just couldn't place her. Gwen glance over to the knocked out weevil, it wouldn't be long before it came round. But Gwen took her attention back to the man with the alien gun. SHe wanted to know where he had got it and why he had it. Maybe he was from UNIT.. maybe Torchwood four, as it was lost, or maybe some other organisation that gathered alien technology.


Where the hell did you get an alien weapon?

[.:|Freefall|:.]

Well, there's your action Alex she thought to herself. She was surprised at the appearance of the first person, jumping back and cursing as he frazzled a second weevil, and even more stunned as the other came up with a gun in her hand. She was slightly stunned when the female quite obviously knew that the strange weapon of the lads was alien. Mind thinking fast, she moved to take control of the situation, walking up to stand between the two figures.

Now, there's no need for violence here. I'm from Torchwood, and I'd like you to tell me what you are both doing here, and why exactly are you in possession of an alien weapon, she added, turning to the young individual with the spiky hair.

She knew she should feel at a disadvantage here, being without a weapon against two powerful ones, but she honestly couldn't see why there should be shooting, when what had just happened was of no fault of either of theirs.

[kimahri]

Kimahri looked from one girl to the other he saw that the girl in the middle was nervous even though she was practically shouting at them.Kimahri smilied when he realised that the girl in the middle was defenceless because if they where still followering him he had to get away but the girl with black hair he felt that he could trust her and for a weird reason unknown to him he knew her name.
"Dont ask me how i know this but Gwen i stole the gun because the people that had it killed my whole family testing it and i had to do something so i toke it so they couldnt steal anybody elses lives but they have got something following me so if you want to stay alive then i suggest that we all run now!!!!!"
Kimahri looked into Gwens eyes to reasure her that he was telling the truth he just hoped they both believed him all they were all dead.He heard a slight noise behinde him which made Kimahri turn and gulp.
"Its here and its about to kill us" he said

[Gwen Cooper]

Gwen looked at the girl when she mentioned Torchwood. But she was not from Torchwood three. Ah.. Torchwood Two! that's where she recognized the girl from, she had seen her briefly before when they were recruiting. Gwen turned her attention to the man when he spoke. As she listened to his words the adrenaline started to pump around her body again, then she heard the sound, she looked wide eyed at the man then spoke.

What the hell was that?

She knew she didn't have time to waste but she had to know what the hell was going on, that way they could deal with whatever it was.

[.:|Freefall|:.]

This kid knew something of aliens then. What he was saying seemed quite hectic; She wondered if he ever paused for breath when he talked. She was startled by what he said when he finished, and the wide eyed look from the other girl, made her suddenly worried.

The noise, then, sounded behind her. Fearfully she spun around. The words of the young lad reached her ears now, not quite calm, but quieter than before, which somehow made her feel even worse: "Its here and its about to kill us"

Then she realized, it was darker in the alley than it had been before. Looking back, she saw that a great shadow, one that hadn't been there before, now covered the alleyway. Regaining her composure, slowly she started walking backwards, knees slightly bent so her centre of gravity was lowered. Reaching the lad, she put her arm out so that she gently pushed him towards the entrance to the street, coming alongside the girl with the gun. She was positive that the shadow was coming from further dow the alley, though as yet, she still couldn't see the source.

What do we do now then? Since you seem to know what this is that is trying to kill you, correction, us. She said quietly to the lad, keeping her voice low.

[kimahri]

"I never said i knew what it was i just said that i had a feeling that i was being followed"said Kimahri
Kimahri looked at the girls now they didnt believe him and the blonde headed girl seemed to want him to lead then why? Kimahri didnt know but as he stepped forward he raised his head and whispered to the other two.
" i hope you two can run because this thing is so fast that i could only just out run it in a car!"
The girls seemed to straighten themselfs up a bit as he said this.
"And before someone says it no we cant beat that thing i doudt even the doctor could take that thing not that you know him but he saved me along with some weird guy called Jack who said somethings about torchwood but he left as quickly as he came so i didnt have a chance to get his surname!"
The shadow was looming forward and the alleyway was getting colder.Kimahri took a step back and again he told them to run this time they listened and they turned to run as they made it out of the alleyway thay heard a violent scream coming from within the alleyways dark walls and as they ran further away they heard thr weevil that must have woke help whine and then yell and all three of them heard the weevils bones creak as the echoed from the alleyway.Kimahri looked at the girls.
"Now you believe me i never saw anything because it is a shadow it blends in with them but everywhere i go it follows killing people behinde me and i dont know what to do anymore!"
Kimahri fell to the floor even though he could take most aliens down his fear of the shadows overwelmed him and all he could do was fall to the floor as the terror hit his heart.

[Kally]

ooc: i am thoroughloy confused, we are overloaded with cardiff members. =P lol

[Gwen Cooper]

Gwen turned and ran with the man and the other girl, the shadow sending terror through her body. She stopped as the man fell to the floor. They had no time to loose, the shadow was coming closer. Gwen was glad she was strong, she bent down and picked the blond haired man up, putting him over her shoulder, he was surprisingly light. She turned to the other girl and spoke top her.

Right, follow me!

Gwen then started to sprint, the man still held over her shoulder, she was heading back to the hub, it was the only place they would be safe and from there they could get the rest of the team in to help get rid of this shadow creature. The little tourist office door was looming up ahead, she was gettired but still she carried on. She got to the door , burst through into the little office and put the man down propped up against the desk. There she stood, waiting for the other girl to come in.

[Kally]

ooc: sneakingi n

Karnie was about to leave the hub when Gwen burst in. Bloody hell! Karnie cried as a panting gwen dropped a blonde man on the floor. She opened the hub door, dropped her bag and helped pull the blonde man to his feet. THey seemed to be running from a large shadow that didn;t seem to be beaing cast by anything. It reminded KArnie of a song her mother used to sing. Something about shadows and monsters.... she tried to remember the words...
beware of the shadows, little one, they come not just at night
the darkest shadow, little one, has claws that tear and bite
don't seek the shadows little one, they only come with fear
you'll walk with death, hand in hand when vashta cometh near.

She had never know what the words meant, but now there seemed to be some truth behind the rhyme. How could a shadow make Gwen so petrified. Come on, get inside! she said to her someone shut the bloody door! the fear was cathing like somekind of wild fire, or disease. It passed from persong to person, infecting them and driving them mad. Karnie wanted to run, more than anything.

[Kimahri]

Kimahri looked around him as the blond headed girl from the alleyway closed the door behind him.He tried to speak but his lips were dry and everytime he tried no words came out instead a kind of croak came out of his mouth.Now that Kimahri was inside and a little bit calmer he looked around the room and at all the people that were in here.There was the two girls from the alleyway and another girl that had helped him up. Do they only employ girls he thought He tried to speak again but as before his lips were still dry but he pushed himself and managed to get a few words out. Are we safe here? The girls just looked at him the one that hadn't been in the alleyways was the only one that seemed to be OK. Are we safe here? he asked again.Gwen nodded i think so she said Kimahri calmed down as Gwen spoke those words but before anyone could say anything else Gwen suddenly shot upright the window on the right of the building was open and a shadow that wasn't normal looked as if it was creeping in through the window Kimahri stared at the window and he didn't take his eyes of it as he pulled the alien weapon that he still had with him out of its holder and placed it in his hands he was ready this time, this time he wasn't going to run but even though he was ready deep down kimahri knew that he couldn't take this thing down on his own!!

[Kally]

OOC: Kimahri. You have been doing some serious godmoding. Thats baaaad. I know i sound all grumpy, but please don't do it. Else I'll have to be the godmode NAzi and come and kill you in tehe night.

[kimahri]

opp sorry about that!!!!!!!! u would kill me help lol

[.:|Freefall|:.]

OOC:I don't wanna sound snobbish Kally, but actually he's power-playing, not god-modeling Just as bad though.

Jonny, you can't say what another character has been doing, that's against the rules of this sight and basically all the others. You keep saying that we give him blank stares, you can say that, we have to. Because your doing that, it doesn't give us any choice but to make our characters stare at him, you see?

Now I'd better get in there before I have missed like the whole thread xD lol

IC:
It was following them, that shadow. The scream had chilled her to the very bones, as she ran headlong, following that other lass, who was carrying that lad. She followed her to some place she vaguely recognized, though as she tumbled through the door with the other two, she became sure: Torchwood, 3.

She all but fell against the wall next to her, collapsing against it in exhaustion. She paid no attention to what any of them were saying. Her head was spinning. Killer shadows? Somewhere she seemed to remember something about that, but not exactly what. Count the shadows, she whispered to herself, not caring if the others there heard. It was all somehow connected to that, thought she didn't know how, she didn't know why. She just felt it.


OOC: Count the shadows!

[kimahri]

occ: i know soz don't forget Kally's in this.

Kimahri lowered his weapon no one could take this thing on no one especially not him he thought to himself all he has was a alien weapon with him and that was useless against whatever it was.He continued to look at the window though and never took his eyes off of it, he backed away as the window got darker and hoped that something good would happen to him for once.Although at least I'm with people he though to himself He hated being on his own."Anyone got any bright ideas?" he asked

[Kally]

ooc: Damnit, i meant Powerplaying. Why? why? must I walways get those confused! It spoils my rants something chronic... anyways...

BIC:
Put that.. thing away for a start! said Karnie to the blonde stranger, pointing at his lowered, - but still dangerous - weapon. It was her third week at torchwood and she was learning quickly. Things like thinking on your feet and notletting your guard down were just some of the things she had learned here. She had been about to reach for the pistol hidden in the drawer of the office desk when Gwen's arrival had calmed her.
'What can stop a shadow?' thought Karnessa frantically... light? yes, LIGHT!
perhaps lights would slow it or stop it.. or something..? she said and switched on the light in the small tourist office. Karnie started to search the drawers of the desk for a torch.

[Gwen Cooper]

Bright Ideas? Bright Ideas! Light! It might work, it was worth a shot. Gwen looked at the others in the room then spoke theb dea that had just popped into her head.

Light, this is a shadow we are dealing with, so how do we get rid of shadows? We put light on them!

It was the first thing that had come to her head, she hoped the others would see it how she had and she just hoped that there was something in Torchwood that could chuck out that amount of light..

[.:|Freefall|:.]

Torches! She shouted, snapping her fingers, Of course! But, umm... Where are the torches in this place? She watched the new girl rooting through a few drawers. Umm, fire? WTF? she thought. That would just burn the whole place down. She mentally slapped herself on the forehead, stupid. And all the while the shadow was creeping closer, and closer... And closer. It was virtually by her feet now. She jumped backward, bumping into something, fell on the floor, then scrambled back to the wall. She pulled herself to her feet, cursing herself, sorry she said to what ever it was she had bumped into, wether person or thing. Grr, is there anything I can do here? Since you two obviously know your way around this base better than I do?
