Chatterbox: Inkwell

Apocalyptic Mutant RP!

Some of y’all remember this, right? I edited it a bit. We’re starting over, clean slate, etc. Feel free to use your old characters if you want to. New people are very welcome to join. And without further ado, here’s your introduction. 

_____________________________________________________________

2028

 

A science lab exploded.

 

Four scientists were killed in the explosion, and the remaining three found that numerous chemicals had spilled into a container and somehow survived the explosion. Upon testing the mixture, they identified the chemicals and recreated it. The scientists tried to find out what the solution did by testing it on a rat, but nothing happened. They weren't sure what to do with the chemicals, but then one of them had an idea:

What would happen if they mixed animal DNA with the chemicals?

They mixed lizard DNA--that being what was on hand right then--with their chemical solution, but before they could test it on the rat, it splashed back onto two of the scientists. They immediately mutated into strange, lizardlike creatures. Still vaguely humanoid, they had rough scaly skin, small sharp teeth, hooked claws, and tails. The remaining scientist, instead of being terrified, was fascinated by the mutation. Unfortunately, he was very greedy, and instead of sharing his discovery with others, he killed the mutant scientists, and kept the secret to himself. Over the next few years, the lone scientist experimented with his chemicals, testing them on human victims instead of animals, and becoming ever greedier and more twisted in the process. Eventually, for no specific reason, he created a huge amount of his mutation chemical, and combined it with DNA from hundreds of animals.

2031

 

The apocalypse.

 

The lone scientist, having killed hundreds of animals for their DNA, created an enormous bomb, filled with enough mutation chemicals to spread across the entire continent. When he set it off, he was killed in the initial explosion, but thousands of people were mutated across North America. The chemicals somehow seeped into the ocean, and over the years, the mutation spread over the entire planet.

2034

 

The wasteland.

 

For three years now, the world has been a barren wasteland, only the strongest and the cleverest surviving, searching for the few oases remaining in the endless deserts. For it's all deserts now, whether or not it’s hot or cold. The endless search for water has driven many mad, adding to the dangers. But now, a strange sickness is spreading, traveling from person to person at an alarming, almost impossible rate. Symptoms include unusual exhastion, hunger and thirstiness, and sometimes nausea. The illness is caused by traces of the mutation chemicals remaining in the water, and the only cure lies in the minerals of the oasis waters. To save the mutants, a select few mutants with strange and unique abilities must find each other, travel to one of the oases, and find the cure, it’s mineral-dense waters. These mutants have never met each other however, and the hardship they have encountered has hardened them, to the point of hostility rising to impossible heights. They must overcome their misgivings and travel the wasteland, dodging insane mutants and sickness, to reach their goal. But, if they catch the sickness, they will slowly weaken, and eventually they will die.

Of course not, MoonKitten! You're welcome to join!

Karen~

After swiping the spiderlike creature over the edge, Logan and I shift back to humanoids and peer at it. I open my mouth to speak, but before I can, we hear a shriek.

"GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME, I DESPISE SPIDERS!" I glance towards the base of the cliff, where three other mutants stand.

The spider mutant turns and stares at them. "Well, that's not very nice," she hisses in a distorted and lisping, but distinctively female voice. She turns back to us. "It wasn't nice to push me, either. I didn't do anything to you."

I growl threateningly, but Logan steps forward and nods to the spider. "You're right," he says. "We're sorry." He looks at me meaningfully, but I shake my head. The spider starts to climb down the cliff, ignoring the hysterical screeching of one of the mutants below.

~Mitra

I circle slowly on the warm updrafts rising from the desert wasteland, searching for wet. Anything wet. I frown as I hear a shriek. Almost subconciously, my gray-feathered wings tilt slightly, and I'm soaring towards the noise.

I squint against the glare of the setting sun, and see a cliff. There are other mutants at the top and bottom, and one climbing near the top. I've almost never seen so many in one place. Staying high enough to keep out of their line of sight, I fly closer cautiously. They don't seem to be fighting. Maybe it's safe to show myself. But it's never been safe to show myself. Still. I can't stay on my own forever. Can I? I can always fly away if things get bad...

Before I can change my mind, I dive, swooping up and landing near the top of the cliff. A she-wolf mutant's ears prick up, and she whirls around, snarling. "Who are you? How'd you get here?" My hand drifts to my sword, and she growls deep in her throat.

"I'm Mitra. I came from up there," I tell her, pointing to the sky.

She raises her eyebrows. I spread my wings.

Logan~

Karen narrows her eyes. She doesn't look like she trusts the bird mutant, but then she doesn't trust anyone. Muted squeals come from the base of the cliff, along with the irritated voices and sibilant hiss of the other mutants, including the spider one. Apparently they're trying to calm down the scared mutant, although the spider mutant's presence likely isn't helping. My thoughts return to the standoff in front of me, where Karen has stepped forward threateningly. I bite my lip, allowing her a chance to have a peaceful conversation for once, but prepared to step in to prevent a fight if necessary.

Caleb

I can't believe my eyes. Another spider. This one is faster than the other's I'd met today, and it decided to run right towards me. Bad move. "Dante! Get him!" I yelled, and Dante releases a small blast of fire from his skull that shoots right at the spider. When it gets in contact, a second passes, and... BOOM. The spider explodes from the inside out, releasing green goo all over me. Gross. I pet Dante, and we both hop into my makeshift car. We are driving peacefully fro a while, across the long-abandoned road, when my gas starts to run low. And, to make matters worse, our car ran out of gas right near some other people. Are they... talking? I quietly hop out of the car, and Dante does the same. "Shhh. Let's see if we can sneak up on them." We sneakily climb up the cliffs, and reach a spot right above them. "Look, Dante." I whisper. "It's some of those spider-loving scavengers. And what do we do to spider-loving scavengers?" Dante almost grins. "We kill them." Pushing my leg from the cliff, I launch myself right in the middle of them, taking them by surprise. Quickly, I run at the spider, and stab my axe right into one of it's arms, cutting it off. "NO!" I hear. One of the other scavangers leaps at me, tackling me to the ground. I spot Dante, knocked out on the ground. All the other scavengers gather around me, and the one who tackled me gets thrown off. "That's enough, Logan." One of the scavengers looks directly at me. "Who are you?"

Wow, okay. Assuming the spider that just lost an arm is Silvia, could we just say Caleb sliced it open to the bone? I don't know that we need any severed limbs this early on /nm 

also sorry about the shortness of this post, I'm a little tied down with schoolwork  

Silvia~

I was only trying to get the white fox to shut up. And this fishy idiot flashes in and slices open my arm. The pain almost makes me black out, but I force my eyes open and pay attention. Passing out in a group of complete strangers would put me in a state of vulnerability that I'd like to avoid. I painfully move behind the male wolf mutant. Since he attacked the attacker, he seems my best bet for protection at the moment.

So I had the idea that Caleb ends up repearing Silvia's arm later.

He can do that? Hmm. Alright that's okay. Then my post would be the same, just with her arm completely off lol
