All: The man gives a light chuckle: "Ah, so you were in that. Guess you haven't been having the greatest day. Still, what're you still doing around here? That was several hours ago." He reaches into his pocket, and snags a box of cigarettes.

Tony looks at the man with moderate surprise. "hours? damn, we must have been knocked out. still, didnt seem like it though." Looking around at the surrounding area, he scratches the back of his head and then asks, "but still, where are all the people?"

All: "Well, I can't say for sure, but I have an obnoxious hunch about it. Hopefully it's just me being paranoid." He's finally found his lighter, and takes a long hard smoke.

Tony replies, a bit of impatience in his tone, "and that hunch is?"

All: "Well, my buddy and I have been figuring this out for a bit, and there's definitely something wrong." He whips out his cell phone for emphasis: "Tried calling people, and we can call anyone around here, but absolutely no connection to anyone outside the docks. Likewise, people around here are up and vanishing, or worse." He slides the phone back in his pocket. "Crazy as it sounds, this isn't the first I've heard of this kinda shit, but it was from a cult book from an old roommate. Hence, I hope it's just paranoia."

Tony shakes his head. "what, you talking about some sorta occult stuff? man, your crazy." Tony gets on his skateboard, and aims it towards home. "you guys dont believe this shit do you? I mean he is talking boogeyman shit!"

Annie shrugs. "I'll get back to you when I work out where my missing hours went." She flips her phone open to check the signal and talks to the injured guy. "So what hurt you? And what kinda "shit" do you think's going on?"
Re: Outset - First Day
Ann: The signal is fine, though if what he said is true, then it won't be apparent unless you try calling people. The clock says it's 3:32.
All: "I dunno, getting a clear look at the thing wasn't high on my priorities when it was trying to eat me. Looked like some kind of dog, but huge. Like, you could hitch a ride on it huge."
"As for this mess, the book called it a withdrawal. Silly shit about 'multiple realities' and 'leaving for better planes of existence'... and lots of other fancy phrases. Load of bullshit, I know, but given what's been going on, I've been trying hard not to buy it, and it's not working..."

Annie smiles "You mean like the rapture? All the good people pissing off and leaving us here?" She dials for the cops.
Re: Outset - First Day
Ann: An annoying voice responds to your efforts: "We're sorry. This number appears to have been disconnected."
All: "Nothing so nice as that, unfortunately. Oh, it prattled on like the thing was fucking Christmas, if it was so nice, maybe they could skip out on the things trying to eat me. No, we're talking shit like this:" He pulls forth a gold colored pocket watch, and lets it dangle on the chain a bit.
Ann:
All: After a little bit of dangling, the watch starts to glow a bit. The glow spreads to his fingers, and he gives a quick snap. With an impressively loud crack, a zap of electricity pops into a stray newspaper ad crumpled on the ground.
He takes another smoke, eying the smoldering piece of paper on the ground. "If that's an angel come to take me away, then someone wasn't telling me shit in Sunday school."

Tony, now wide eyed, places a hand over his right wrist, and steps back. He looks at the man infront of him and then the others around him.

Raises an eyebrow at the loss of an explanation of what just happened. For the moment he thinks to keep the necklace business to himself. At least until he has an idea of what kinda shit he's in.
"That's some parlor trick you got there." He takes a moment to look around at his surroundings. "Though, I think I've seen that symbol somewhere before. What's it mean?"

All: "No clue, you're asking the wrong guy on that. Honestly, I dunno what any of this means, or if it means anything at all. I just want it to do stuff, and it does. Gives a weird feeling when doing it, though, so I prolly shouldn't run around throwing that shit everywhere. And unless my eyes are broken, neither should you." He points at Annie's anklet.
You can hear a motorcycle coming from the north.

"I'll keep that in mind." Elias takes a step back and looks to spot the approaching motorcycle.
"I suppose there is not much we can do for ya', is there?"

Tony looks towards the sound, and unconsciously takes 3 steps towards an alleyway that could be an escape route.

All: "No, though it looks like my ride's finally here. Took him long enough."
A beat up motorcycle comes into view, carrying some silly helmeted person in casual clothes on top. It comes to a stop by your gallant band, and the rider takes off his helmet to reveal some dude who looks like he wants the alarm clock to shut up for 12 hours.
"See? Nothing to worry about, you've even got a party going while I was gone."

Elias takes out the necklace and holds it in hand, it still dangling from his neck. A puzzled look comes across his face. It's apparent he can't make heads or tail of this quite yet.
"Looks like we are in for some kinda hell, aren't we? "

All: Biker-"Well, it certainly isn't Malibu."
The injured man pulls out a cell phone, and motions towards you. "Any of you got a number? Would be nice to keep in touch if this shit doesn't get better."

All: He offers you his number, and it is saved on Ann's phone. "Well, here's to shit not getting worse." Biker dude helps the man onto the bike, and they take off. As they're driving away, the man shouts out "And try to stick together, this doesn't look like it'll be much fun."

"If we need to stick together, why are they going away? Fuck. I'm going home. Anybody keen on sticking together can follow me if they really want."
Annie heads southwards at a slow but steady pace.

Tony shakes his head, gets on his skateboard, and pedals home. "world ending or not, I have things to grab."

"Now, hold on a damn minute. We are all obviously in some shit here, so we can't go gallivanting around all willy-nillie. We need to make a plan here. Any of you got weapons at home?" Elias insists.
