"You're grandson said he'd help me."Marcus replied.

"Willy?" Mr. Raymond's eyes widened in surprise. Mrs. Raymond came up beside her husband with surprising speed for her age. "Are you Willy's friend?" she asked with growing excitement. She didn't even wait for an answer. She looked at Mr. Raymond with a big wrinkled smile. "Willy has a friend!" she exclaimed, laughing. She turned and disappeared into the house, leaving Mr. Raymond with Marcus.
"WILLY!!! Your friend is here!!!" Mrs. Raymond's screechy voice called from within the house.

Marcus smiled."I guess I am."He answered as he stood in wait.

Mr. Raymond looked Marcus over with a judgemental look, as if he could find his faults and strengths just by looking at him.
"Of course you do! He's right here!" Mrs. Raymond called again from within the house. There was a pause. "Willy Raymond! If you don't get up here right now, I'm going to-!"
"Hey! I'm up, I'm up." Ray called out, though much more quietly than his grandmother. She half led, half dragged him to the door.
"Now go out and spend time with your friend! And get a job while you're at it!" She ordered, giving him a final shove out the door.
Ray didn't resist. He didn't want to hurt her, after all. He stumbled down the stairs and stopped on the sidewalk. He gave Marcus an unimpressed look.

"Did you really think that I'd let you stand me up?"Marcus asked as he started walking.

"Yes. Actually, I did," Ray muttered, glancing back at the house and seeing his grandparents' expectant glances. He winced, and started following Marcus. The guy must have followed him to the house earlier...

"Yes,but how many people died to accomplish that?"Jack answered."I'd guess a lot for something as absurd as that."He looked at the building."I remember when the arch was first mastered.And now you have metal chariots with four wheels and no horses." ( Samandriel did you reply to this? (I thought I did! Guess I didnt. Thank you for reminding me!) "And me. The way you speak makes me believe you're from quite ancient times. What was some great event from your lifetime, if you recall?"

"How about not..." Ray walked a little faster, so that he matched the pace of Marcus. "Look, I'm going to show you the abandoned house, and you can go on your merry way. Sound good?"

(Just wondering. Sam, Chaos, would you find it to be too much intrusion if I throw Waro into the fight? His power after all can be a bit intruding upon the normal way of roleplay.)

Holly pulled back, forming a shield of her own to guard herself.
It didnβt block everything, and she shuddered as it pushed her back further, as it pushed against the shield. When she knew she was close to the edge, of what looked to be an 8-story drop, she swung her arms out, dispersing the energy and shield as she used the momentum to push herself back further, before she fired her own bolt and fired at him.
She didnβt expect Rose to start growing vines. She didnβt even see the thorny creatures.

And so Ray walked, his shoes scuffing the sidewalk as he did. They travelled for about thirty minutes. Here, the streets were less busy, and the houses weren't as well kept. There was obvious wear and tear on some of them. Eventually they moved onto a gravel road that branched off from the other houses on the street. A large old house stood looming before them. "Here it is," he stated, stopping in the yard. Nobody had ever wanted this house because of superstition, the work it would require to get it back in working order, and the community that surrounded it. There was also the fact that it was close to the alleyway which was known to be dangerous in this area. "You should probably be careful around here."

(Edit. Since the building is 8 stories... Waro probably extended his staff to the third floor of the emergency escape stairs, before ascending the rest. He is currently watching from the ladder that attaches to the roof. If worse comes to worse, (Which it seems will be the case.) I'll have him jump into the fray if that is alright. :3)

(It makes me smile to see you guys cheering on Ollie. ^^)
In the Forgotten Realm, unseen and unheard by those in the Remembered realm...
There was a sudden release, and as his yell faded off, Ollie's world disappeared into darkness.
"Ollie."
That name... The name he hated, the name he was ever so jealous of... Why couldn't they just call him something else? Maybe they would see him as a different person if he had a different name.
"Ollie!" the voice was more urgent.
Suddenly everything came back. The fight with Holly, getting attacked by Cyto, the sadness, the frustration, the pain both inside and out. Yelling, Ollie suddenly sat upright. He clutched his lower chest with both arms, the place he had been stabbed last by Cyto, and doubled over, puking onto the gravel of the alley. After a few minutes, he recovered somewhat and shakily stood to his feet. His arm... It was back to normal. He clenched and unclenched his fist, and slowly lifted his hand from his chest. The wound. It was no longer there, and he felt no pain. At first he was relieved. Maybe it had been just a bad dream? He looked around. He was still in the alley, but everything was muted, as if a dark screen separated him from the world. This was the very same place that Cyto had attacked him. His breathing picked up in pace, and he stepped backwards. His feet made no sound. "No, no, no, no, no... I can't be dead." He moved to lean against the wall, and fell through it. Yelling out in shock and fear, he scrambled around blindly until he was back in the alley.
"You aren't dead, Ollie." A man in a long black trench coat had suddenly appeared before him. His face was solemn and his eyes were sad. "Welcome to the Forgotten Realm."
Ollie stared at the man, instantly recognizing that the man looked just like him, despite wearing different clothes. "It- It's you! Your him!"
(And no, he did not miraculously heal.)

"Jail, huh? Heh. I wonder how eager they would be to call you friend if they knew that," Ray huffed. Though now that he thought of it, they really might be that desperate. --- (Yeah. Heheh. I'm always nervous to jump into anything incase I mess things up. I'm going to get better at this though! Hopefully.)

(Hmm, Sam this is up to you.
I have a little thing I want to add into the fight between Cyto and Holly. But Iβm wondering if I should wait to add it until the fight with the group and Cyto or if it should be now.
I think waiting would be better, personally? So we could do a skip soon if you wanted too.)

Ray turned and walked away. Odd. It wasn't every day you came across ex-prisoners that annoyed you until you showed them some abandoned house. Why him, of all people? Oh well. It was all done and gone. Ray continued to walk, not really caring where he walked to. He had to make it seem like he actually did something, so his grandparents would stop bugging him. The couch would have to wait just a little bit longer.

(Some pics I drew. I still need to draw Waro in Blink form, Rosie, and Ray. I guess I could draw Zed's suit as well. Eventually. I realize they are all sketchy and kind of sloppy, but they at least give you an idea of what they look like. ^^) Zed Waro (Aw man. The enlarged picture shows off my bad colouring. But it gives you an idea what he looks like.) Ollie (I need to do another Ollie now that his look will be different again. XD)

(Aaand I'm back. I wasn't gone as long as I thought.) (Thanks! ^^ I suppose I did make a picture of Ollie when he first lost his memory... Maybe I'll post that too, one day. I've had this idea to draw little comics based on their backstories, but I haven't gotten myself motivated enough for that, quite yet.) --- (And Sam: I read this, but got caught up in all the speed of last night and forgot to answer. XD The comment about Isaac and Waro being like two characters on Dragon Ball. I actually haven't watched it yet, but it's something I'm planning to start watching soon. I finally found a good site that has all the episodes. I'm excited to find out the relation. ^^)
