Spoiler : :

Argh, Drey, I was sorta waiting for you to say something about Alex. D:

[Drey Wilkins]

Spoiler : :

Whoops. I didn't notice your previous post, and I thought Alex was an NPC.

Edited.

[Holhol]

I squnited my eyes, trying to focus on Aven, but I could seem to find which one to look at.

"I... I've been sleepin' h-here lately. It, uh.... it's a lot more... cozy. Do you understand...?"

[Drey Wilkins]

Aven sighed.
"I think the better question here is if you understand." He looked at Alex's bloodshot eyes. "I think you need some water."

[Holhol]

"Understand... huh?" Alex scratched his head, which was rather greasy from lack of bathing. "H-Hey. I don't need water. I just need a nice cold beer." He licked his lips for effect. "You think... think I could have one? You'd be my favorite, Detective."

Spoiler : :

For some reason, I realized I had jumped from the 3rd to the 1st person. Aye, gonna be hard getting used to 3rd person.

[Drey Wilkins]

Aven paused. Alex might be more co-operative if he was in a good mood. In contrast, the beer wouldn't exactly help.

"Later. If you tell us anything useful, then you can have a beer."

[Holhol]

"S-Something useful? Wha-What about something useful?" Alex looked puzzle. What was Aven rambling on about?

[Drey Wilkins]

"Something to do with that." Aven gestured at the corpse. "The dead guy."

"Rebellion":

Jackal Thorne soon became a symbol of rebellion against the government; in his following letters, many of which were illegible and partially burned, he declared that the government was "a pack of flies waiting to feast on the flesh of the people" and was committing his murders "for the sake of the oppressed minority".

He quickly gained a following amongst certain cults, such as a group calling themselves "The Rebellion". The Rebellion believe that Thorne is one of their many "Avatars" sent to free them from the oppressive government, and bring "true freedom to the world". They have been relatively inactive during recent years, but are still known to exist today.

There are not many pages left. Continue reading?

Fountain Square:

"That he was," Hearsely replied, "...I think we may need to keep this boy around for a bit."

The Mansion:

The voice was silent for a second. "...This is not a 'cult', Miss. This is the Rebellion. We stand against the demons who stalk our society and rule over our world. ...But I suppose we are always ready to take in newcomers..."

The door cracked open, to reveal a tall man wearing a pair of dark sunglasses and a trenchcoat.

"My name is Professor Visel." The man said, pushing up his glasses, "Welcome to the House of the Rebellion."

"Oh, you're opposed to demons, then? In that case, this must be where I'm meant to go." Rei simply said. She waited, so that she would be allowed to enter into the strange mansion. The ominous mansion that may or may not house tortured demons. Maybe they even ate demons. What would that taste like?

[Sleuth]

The Mansion:

Profeasor Visel blinked. "Er, no... That was a figure of speech we don't fight literal demons. But there are humans, humans far worse than any demon, that lurk all around; in our government, in our schools, in ALL our authority. What happens when we cannot trust the men that rule us? We rebel, naturally. It is the only choice."

He pushed up his glasses again. "Do you think you can handle that, girl?"

[GuardianDreamer]

"I don't think the plot will continue until I accept, so yes." Rei simply answered. Obviously this was a situation where she HAD to say yes, or she'd be forced to join anyway. Either that, or she'd get a depressing Game Over sequence. In either case, the best option was to accept. Then again, maybe this was just an option to lock her onto a certain route. Oh well. It seemed interesting enough, in any case.

[Sleuth]

The Mansion:

Visel gave a small grin and pushed up his glasses. "You're quite an interesting girl. You barge right up to our doorstep with no hesitation, and then ask to join out of the blue? And the people say that we are the odd ones."

He opened the door wider, making a creaking sound as it moved, revealing a dimly lit foyer behind him.

"Come inside," He beckoned, "And we shall see if you are truly worthy to become a Rebel."

[Holhol]

"Something to do with that." Aven gestured at the corpse. "The dead guy."

"Huh... whaddya what!?" Alex's eyes grew huge as he wondered if that body was there the whole time. After a few moments, the ground around his feet was covered in the liquor that had been held in his stomach.

[GuardianDreamer]

Spoiler : @Sleuth :

I can't think of a post that would be longer than "Rei entered inside", so you can assume that Rei decided to enter.

bump?
