"Ouch" Gilliam's voice echoed across the walls as his eyes opened. He seemed to be in a basement of sort. He forced himself to a seated position, letting his eyes get used to be used again. Looking around he noted that everything around him seemed to be crushed against the floor with a tremendous pressure.
His right palm found his forehead and placed itself supporting his head. ”What happened?” he muttered as he felt a thundering headache, as well as a lingering feeling of that there were something that he really wanted to do, and itch if you will. Though not able to remember it he realized something very different and even worse.

“Who am I?” The question echoed across the walls, as well as in his mind. The very weight of the question was heavy indeed, and the answer seemed to be nowhere to be found.
Forcing himself to his feet, taking in the room he was in again, now with a clearer vision. His initial vision were right, but somewhat lack of detail. Everything was crushed against the floor indeed, but how they were made no sense. It was as if one had crushed them with a tremendous weight, as everything was flat against it.
Only more questions filled his head as he walked towards the only door in this room, opening it with a loud creak.
What happened? Why did it happen? Who did it?
Where only a fraction of the questions that filled his mind, apparently it seems he knows how to operate doors, and basically how a layout of a building is, or he might have issues getting out of here, so it was only the memories of himself and such that were gone. He pondered on as he walked up some stairs, heading towards a door in the end.
The sad thing was that he did not have a choice; he simply had to accept this now and see if he could make his memory return, though there was this feeling that there is something that he had to do but he could not remember.

The door opened, letting the rays of the sun fill the room, and forcing his hand to lift to block the direct sun to his eyes. As he walked out onto the pavement, his eyes got used to the sun in a few seconds time.
“Umm….” He muttered as he looked to the sides. There was no one to be seen, only buildings as long as the eye could see. Some stationary cars here and there, though he still found it weird; he knew what a car was, he basically knew how it worked, yet he did not know anything about himself save the basics of his appearance.

His mind flashed, loosing vision of his surroundings he saw a different image, it was a vision from his eyes showing his hand stretched out as a car not too different from the one that he was standing next to, was utterly crushed.
As his vision came back to this world, he noted that he was sitting on the ground, his headache thundering even more. What was this, a vision of the past, a lost memory? If so, what powers did he control?
Forcing himself to his feet yet again, he drew his breath.

“HELLO!”

He shouted what his lungs and vocal cords could muster, his greeting echoed between the walls, carrying it far beyond its planned distance.
He supported himself to the car in front of himself, his headache only got worse. He had an idea of where to get some aspirin, though it baffled him that he knew this. It must have been something he had done several times in the past.
With that in mind, he headed to his left, hoping to either find someone else or to find a store of sorts to get some aspirin or the like for his headache.
 
Slowliy but surely, Stephen realize he was alive. His eyes slid open, out of focus and unable to see anything in the darkness anyway. slowly his eyesight came back and his focus kicked in. He was lay on the floor of a room that wasn't even warm. he rolled onto his front and slowly pushed himself up to his feet when on his hands and knee's Stephen placed his right hand on his forehead, a thumping headache was presant.

stephen picked himself up and leant against the wall "where am i?" he muttered under his breath as he placed the back of his head against the wall Stephen pushed himself off of the wall and stumbled over to a window, he threw open the curtains and looked out over a eserted village, "Wait. . . Who am I?" he asked as he gazed out onto the village
 
-----------------------------------
Henry - Who am I?
-----------------------------------

It was like every usual morning when he was going to wake up. But something was different. He felt the weight of his body and he felt his heave eyes. Somehow, barely he was able to get them open. The picture was blurry and so he blinked. His head, it was hurting. Slowly he started moving his body and felt how energy flew trough his veins. He stood up and noticed that he was wet. He watched down and saw water under him.

'' Eh ... where am I'ah ...'' He muttered with loud voice. It was dark and cold and the water was moving slowly. He pushed his hand trough his short hair and felt something on his head. He pulled it and threw it away. It was a bug. On his head ... why. He started moving his heavy legs and suddenly stopped.

'' What is it ... who am I?'' He said loudly in his mind. He had realized that there was absolutely nothing in his head, nothing. But questions didn't fill his mind. Maybe he was used with life like that. He started looking around and saw a fork on his left. Somehow it seemed familiar, maybe it was something that he had used once. But he thought that what ever it is, it is mine. He took the fork and started moving.

'' What's going on?'' He asked from himself while staring around the weird cave. He wasn't trying to figure out what was going on ... it was too difficult for his mind.

OOC: He is in a sewers when you didn't get it :D

The blue sky above was dotted with puffy white clouds that seem to waffle around without aim. The cool wind blew across the desolated rooftop of the 15 story apartment block, whistling loudly through the gaps. Arturia stared blank-eyed at the the sky, back stuck to the roof. Just mere seconds before, whens she cracked open her eyes, did she realize something wrong. Where am i? I don't recognise this place...? Who am i in any case...? The train of thoughts brought a stab of pain through her head, very similar to a hang over. With a shake of the head, Arturia flipped onto her feet before rubbing her head to soothe the pain. Her hand was met with a smooth long horn which surprised her quite a bit. What is going on....? Watever it was, standing at the top of a derelect building wasn't helping and Arturia swayed towards the door before skipping downstairs.

Outside was deserted. There was not a soul in sight. The towering, grey buildings gave it an apocalyptic feel which made Arturia feel uneasy as she walked into the streets. First things first however. A drink was what was needed. Scanning up and down the street, a snigle shop was not found, so Arturia began up towards the west, hoping she didnt pick the wrong direction.

OOC: Sorry for the delay peeps ^^
INFORMATION:
You can also take out one, or more, of the creatures. They can look like anything, but they can only be found in areas that have no light at all, due to they being nocturnal. Remember the "shadowy" look.
But before you do this, know that your character does not remember any skills, so try only to remember one single, often used, skill that the body will remember even though the mind does not.
------------------------------------------------

His footsteps echoing in between the buildings, interestingly enough electricity seemed to be working; this was evident by that some buildings had neon signs. Though Gilliam were still in the same predicament as he was a few minutes ago, he seemed to remember everything about anything but himself. He knew how to operate many things he saw, but he did not even know his name.

Suddenly he stopped, looking to his left. “yay!” he let out a low shout, he had found a convenience store.
Running over towards it he had a smile on his face that almost screamed the soon to be releavement of the pain. Grasping the handle, he opened it, it at least he tried. Cursing so that his voice were echoing across the buildings even more than before, he jerked what he could on the handle, but to no avail.
He looked around, and a grin grew on his face, walking a few meters away he had found a rock that was slightly larger than his fist. Picking it up he lobbed it in the air some 20 centimeters (just under a ft) and caught it again. “Sorry ‘bout this” he muttered as he let the rock fly through the window, shattering the whole area that the rock flew through.
Walking over towards the new opening, his grin faded for a weird feeling, he became uneasy for some reason.
Walking carefully towards the counter, as he had a feeling that he would find what he was looking for there, he kept on guard.
“ ‘ere we go” he muttered as he found the medicine cabinet, but what he saw after made his heart stop. Claw marks along the floor, not only a single set either, unless the one that made this had hundreds of claws, it had passed here a lot or there were more than one.
His instincts took over, he could feel that what his body were doing were something that he had trained in enough for it to become a reaction.
His body forced itself against the wall, the exit to one side, while he checked through the cabinet. He had the whole store in his view, or at least that which were not blocked by wares and shelves.

After a few minutes searching through it carefully, he found one that were marked ‘Paracet’, a general painkiller and ‘fever lowerer’.
Taking a few packs of it into his pocket, he started to walk away.

Suddenly, a familiar noise came from behind; it was the noise of something 4 legged running. “Oh… no” Gilliam muttered as he noted nothing but a shadow dart towards him. The way it moved in the dark store made it seem as the creature were on the ceiling and its shadow was on the floor. So Gilliam started surveying the ceiling but could not find anything.
Due to this error in judgment, the creature pounced at him. As the creature hit it forced Gilliam to the floor, smashing his back at the stone titled floor. Gilliam let a few more curses fly as he kicked it away.
As it were now between him and the exit, Gilliam had to go back and around a shelf, then back. Though on the way he was again pounced, he hit his head into one of the shelves as het creature slid across the floor due to the momentum.
“That is it” Gilliam stated in a severely annoyed voice, almost as if someone were moving his body, his right arm stretched out towards the creature, and as the arm lifted slightly more the creature lost contact with the ground.
Gilliam made a movement that could best be described as ‘a slight push in the air’ that in turn made the creature fly through 5 shelves, and splat all over the concrete wall behind them, doubtlessly dead.
As Gilliam came back to his senses, he left the area in fear of more of them.

As he had gotten out, he first now noticed that his head were bleeding slightly, a small stream passed his right eye by an inch.
“First things first…” he muttered as his headache reached a new level. Taking out 2 pills, he chewed them before swallowing them. It tasted horrible, but his body did this by itself, was he this used to taking pills?
After they were consumed, he started walking again, looking into his right palm, wondering what he did. Did he have a power, or was or something else?
 
Her head aching as though she had taken too much alcohol, her body felt pained and sluggish as though she had been spending hours lying on the hard stone ground without a pillow. Her pale skin gleamed in the weak light pouring through a canopy of trees, so that the copse of woods was surounded by the chilling mist of an eqarly morning sun that had not quite yet brought the world its warmth.

"Ugh..." With an effort, Felicity struggled to her knees, grazing them in the process, then got to her feet, staggering for a second, and holding onto a hanging tree branch to keep herself on her feet. Looking around, she saw that she was surrounded by trees and patches of moist mossy ground. Reaching to her belt, she felt the sudden cold embrace of metal and drew a pair of knives. Shocked that she held a weapon, she almost dropped them but scrabbled for them and caught them, crossing herself instiinctively as she shakingly put themk in her belt. What was a knife doing in her belt?

A dark shape rushed past her and she shrieked, drawing the knives for the second time, standing ready as a pair of dark eyes watched her from the far-off bushes.
 
As she had suspected, Arturia has gambled and screwed up. There were no stores nearby, open ones anyway at least. She could go against all moral codes of any normal humans and break into the stores, but would she? Of course, need overcame will and with a hefty elbow, Arturia broke the door knob of a boarded up store. With ease, as if greased just yesterday, the door swung smoothly on its hinges.

Dust seemed to lay unsettled despite the disturbance. Everything in the room laid meticulously tidy, oddly enough. Squinting her eyes into the darkness, the subtle shape of bottles came into view. Don't mind if i do. she whistled slightly as her hand gripped the neck of a bottle of water. Her hands froze for a second when she felt a chill run up her back, straight into the base of her neck.

The moment she released her grip, something black on black swooshed passed her hand. Momentarily in shock, Arturia was not prepared when a low blow caught her in the stomach, sending her all the way back towards the street. Her body collided with the glass front. She would not have been hurt as much if she had gone through, but as fate would have it, the boards dod not give way to Arturia's body. Ugh! Crap! A claw, this time much more visible as a result of the ambient light from the door, came shooting across the room. Her brain had registered that she was dead. Her body moved. A feat she did not know possible, the Sprite backflipped from her fetal position, bounced off the front and, eyes widened to focus in on her target, let down a downward axe kick with all her might.

For the second time in less than 5 seconds, Arturia shocked herself. There was a feeling of wind rippling around her leg for a fleeting moment before she felt a rushing drag, the epicentre her heel and spreading along her lower leg, before in an instant, something shot out just before she connected with whatever the hell she was fighting with. From her perspective, it appeared as if a slightly glowing scythe flew out from her feet, impacting on the freak's head and seemingly cleave the poor thing in half. The cool maneauver was destroyed by her lack of landing in which she collapsed just a metre from the writhing monster. Shocked, her hand paddled backwards when she felt the edge of something on her waist. Without thinking, Arturia pulled it out, realising it was a pistol on the way to the front before she pulled the trigger. 25 bullets spat out automatically from the gun. It was appaling as ever, probablt half missing, but that was enough. 12 bullets shredded into the monster, way more than necessary, instantly cutting off the monsters writhing.

After staying in the dim room for another minute from shock, Arturia stumbled slightly as she wobbled from the door, bottle in one hand and the pistol absentmindely in the other. She was scared. She did not know who she was and what the hell that was. She did not know where she was and what she just did. All she knew was that she was glad to be back into the warmth of the sun, happy to be alive, as proof of the pain throughout her right side. Ah! Damn...this is going to be sore for a while... she muttered as she continued down the street.
 
OOC: Sorry for crappy post, Ill try and make my next better ^^
----------------------------

Looking to the sky, he wondered more and more about the same questions he had been wondering about since he woke up, but none did he wonder so much about then the heaviest of all; Who am I?

Looking back down as the sun was hurting his eyes, rubbing them gently as they pointed back at ground level; his mind suddenly spun off its train and reached a more pressing question.
What were that creature, it would be safe to assume that it were not alone. Was it them that ‘cleaned’ out the city?
As it seemed it was keeping to the shadow, it made sense that the reason he had not seen any more so far was that they might be nocturnal.

“Oh….. Fuck…” he muttered. If they were nocturnal, they would most likely swarm the city during the night. Depending on how many, they might actually do just that, swarm across the city.
It was a horrifying though, and it was only made worse with the thought that he had some form of power that he could not control.
“How nice for me..” he muttered as he continued walking down the street.

As he continued walking the painkillers seemed to finally be working, he was looking for some form of shelter. Be it above or below ground, he could not care less, as long as it were safe.

Henry - This is getting ridiculous!
-------------------------------------------------

He was moving trough the shadows in the lonely and wet sewer. He felt how his legs were slowly freezing and he felt how something was walking behind him. He gave a glance back but it was no use. Every time he did he noticed a escaping shadow. He stretched his left hand and started thinking. Somehow he felt the action he was doing familiar.

'' Eh ...'' He muttered to himself and started staring his fork. And then he knew what to do. Almost instantly he had turned around and charged at fantastic speed towards the shadow. And then he hit, his fork sharp dots moved trough the beast-like body of the shadow. A huge scream was released but Henry wasn't afraid. He released a powerful punch to the face of beast, almost knocking him down. But after a second, the beast seemed to be recovered. He pulled the fork out and released another roar of pain. And then he charged at Henry. His teeth was sharp and slimy. His mouth was open, it was huge and fearful but Henry wasn't giving up. He punched and punched his enemies face so hard that finally it fell down. He stood up and took his sword from the back. He didn't knew that it was there ... how could he. But somehow he had taken it out and swing his enemy headless. He gave a look on the sword and then seated it.

'' Well, this is getting ridiculous.'' He muttered with shaking voice and wiped dust away from his armor.

Arturia - Anyone home?
~~~~~

Arturia was sick of this. Walking walking walking. It seemed to be aeons since the little scuffle with the shadow. As ridiculous as it sound, it seem like the little stories parents tell children to scare them about monsters in shadows were real. The pain had now died down to very dull throbbing and a very deep purple bruise swirled into view in the shape of a hurricane. At least it looks cool. For now, all she could do was stay in aplace where there is light. Even then, outside was not safe as it was only a matter of time till it was dark. Subconsciently, Arturai scanned the deserted street, drumming her finger on the butt of her pistol. Now where can i find shelter... Maybe a rich looking house? she wondered as she passed a rather intact and impressive looking house.
 
OOC: Sorry for the lack of replies, lets try and get the ball rolling again, no? ^^
-----------------------------------------------



Having wandered an hour or so more he stood before a building.
It had a large neon sign that said ‘Hotel’ and it was a rather large building. ((approx 30 stories))

Entering the main doors, he shouted an uncertain “Hello!?” There was no reply as his shout echoed across the empty walls.
He entered and started to survey the area, whereas the glass windows were not a preferred thing to have protecting you, he felt weirdly assured.
Wanting to test this he took a sizable chair and threw it all he could at one of the windows. The chair cracked at the window and fell to the floor somewhat broken, the window remained as it was.
It seemed that it was bullet proof glass, whereas Gilliam did not know the name of it, it only proved that it was a more safe type then normal windows, which would explain where he got his weird reassuring feeling from.

Walking over to the reception, he felt a weird feeling, it was as if he knew the base layout of the building already, he could only assume that he had been in his share of the same types of buildings.
Not wanting to be ambushed was the reason he walked over to the reception, taking a piece of paper and a walky talky pair that was placed nearby on the desk, he wrote “Call me to get in” on the piece of paper, and taped it on the inside of the main door. After he did this, eh tested the handheld devices, put them both on channel 12 and tested them, they seemed to be working so he hung one around the door handle on the outside before he locked the door as safe as he could on the inside.

He turned around “now, let’s check the area” he muttered with a grin. This building was now his, and he intended to check out what it had to offer and if there were any other weird creatures in here.
First things first, if he were not alone, there would be more people that might come here so food were the main point of interest at this point.
So he strolled toward the Kitchen, keeping an eye out for his surroundings.
 
~~~~~
Arturia - The sun is still up...
~~~~~

The sun was still high, ad the mansion was tempting. Arturia shrugged and walked towards it. After all, what had she to lose? A swift kick to the giant double door ensured that entrance was available. However, The dull and murky interior halted her foot. Life loves to screw around with ya don't they? Setting a foot into the marbled floor, Arturia got as far as the apex of light from the door. It was silent, eeriely so. It was not natural. Just as she was about to turn and leave, the doors swung shut, engulfing the room with darkness. Fuck!

The pattering of rapid movements
could be heard approachingt. No time to think The door would take too long to open. The windows was a choice, although it was boarded. Whipping out the guns, Arturia unloaded bullets after bullets into the window. Glass shattered and the wood became weak splinters. Just as she reached her escape path, s thin black tentqacle snaked out from the darkness and wrapped itself around her throat. Uagh! LET GO! In ches from freedom, Arturia flailed for her life. The wood from the window shattered from a lucky kick, splintereing and poured sunlight out. The sunlight burned at the beast, but the tentacles held. Blindly the Sprite pointed backwards and unleashed all that remained in her gun. Not able to withstand gunfire and the light, it withdrew itself, giving Arturia time to launch herself into the garden. Without waiting for anything, she bolted out into the street and continued running.

Arturia had ran for what seemed like ages, the surrounding seemed to have changed to high rises and taller buildings. The gash on her arm from the little scuffle was bleeding, but there was nowhere safe. Not yet anyway. Further up, she spotted a large sign saying Hotel. Being a hotel, it probably had medical supplies. Perfect. Another big building... Cautiously, and one of the guns out, Arturia made her way towards the door. Steadily, she opened it and glanced in. It seemed to be lit well enough and she sighed with relief. Only when she looked down did she notice the little comm device. Call me to get in... Not too sure about it, Arturia risked it and grabbed the walkie talkie before talking into it. Hello? Is ther anyone on the line? whilst she levelled the gun at the interior. She wasn't sure if these "things" were intelligent or not, but she wasn't risking it. For all she knew, it could be a trap
 
Having ruffled though the foodstuffs in the kitchen for a rough half an hour or so, he had found out that everything in the freezer had survived, but much of the thing in the fridge had gone bad and clearly either smelled or tasted sour.
It seems that there was plenty of food to keep going on in here, for at least several people.
About to open a cupboard his pocket decided to speak, or rather the device in his pocket.
“Hello? Is there anyone on the line?” a female voice asked.
Gilliam licked up the small black device and hesitated slightly; at least he was not alone or was this a trick? It was not long before he answered. “Yes there is. I am what you want?” he asked as he carefully went back towards the main door, taking care to stay in a position so that he could see the door, and not the other way around.
If it worked he was not sure of, but at least it felt safer than just loafing out there.
