(You may now post!)

(( Thanks for accepting. I suppose I'll try and jump in. ))

[Thanks you for accepting me, as well. I'll try to jump in, too.]

Iggy Brunsman looked down at the city, the buildings white, as if they had been covered in snow. He let out a long sigh, thinking of how he was supposed to fit in. But, did he? No. Not in any way possible. He, being a human, but also being a Runner, was supposed to have black hair and black eyes. But did he? No. He had white hair and turquoise eyes, as his sister, Izzi, did, as well. Although, his skin was as it was supposed to be; white, almost like a vampire's, with little signs of contact with the sun. He let out a long, held in sigh as he sat and dangled his legs over the edge. He began humming some Russian lullaby that he had picked up from Izzi. She always sang in the shower and the song she sang most was this.

"Ig! Come, quick! There's people, Runners, I think. Look!" Izzi whispered harshly at Iggy. Ig looked over his shoulder, and saw his sister motioning wildly for him to join her. He stood, carefully and gracefully, and joined her on one of the adjacent sides of the building, also overlooking the dull, dreary city. His eyes scanned the rooftops, where the Runners would be, and, almost immediately, he saw a figure. It was a person, clothed in all black, with, short, black hair. As he concentrated more, he saw that the person was a female. She looked a little roughed up, and that's when he knew that they had found another Runner.

"She's like us," Iggy confirmed, nodding his head. Izzi smiled, she had been totally right, for once! She beamed at her twin, then focused back on the girl, watching her move, until she sat down on the edge, wiggling her legs over the edge. Then, Izzi turned to Iggy, and, smiled.

"We should go to her." Izzi nodded, while still looking at Iggy. She knew that they should at least meet the girl, greet her, find out a little about her. She was, after all, almost 100% sure that she wasn't part of the government, but a Runner like them.

"No. We can't trust her," Iggy told Izzi. "She may be a Runner, but, can we really put our trust in her?" he asked her, shaking his head. "I feel it's best we--IZZI! What are you doing?" He looked at his sister in horror as she began to back up. "No! You don't know her!"

"And I never will, unless we go over there now!" Izzi backed up a good quarter's length away, then, without warning, ran and flung herself over the edge, landing a little rough on the next rooftop. The female was just two more over. Iz repeated the process two more times until she was sharing the rooftop with the unknown girl.

"How come I can hear me?" Iggy said to himself, before flinging himself after Izzi. Once he reached the rooftop that his sister had come to a stop on, he exchanged glances with her briefly, then, pointedly, said, "Hello," to the new girl.

Vaughn was never one to judge, he sighed. His orders were often simple, look for the runners. Was life really so simple? Did all he have to do was seek? He sighed, his mind wondered back to his nightmares. Perhaps, just maybe, they had something to do with his past.....


He looked up at the dimming sky, he knew he had to work. He sighed, going into the office and putting on his clothes. He heard a "Hello," sometimes, but he never paid attention. He really didn't care, he didn't want to know how anyone was doing or what they were up to. His heart was as colorblind as his eyes, and almost as dark as them too.


His job was his life, outside of that, there was nothing. He sighed, tying his little bit of hair in a messy braid. He flung it over to one shoulder then grabbed his revolver. He put it in his holster and walked out.

(( OOc// Hey Cyn! I'm going to roleplay both characters in third person, just testing out that first one from her point of view. The first intro sucked, I know. ))

(Welcome to the RP guys! )
(Nova, maybe I will bring Anidori in and her and Vaghn can go do some rounds, checking places for Runners)

I let a small chuckle escape my lips from the little crayon comment. It was relieving to laugh once in a while. I heard to soft thuds, and instantly recognized them as two people landing on the roof. One female, one male. By there closeness I could easily recognize them as related. I instantly knew they were Runners, because if they were some sort of law enforcement they would be somewhat heavier with protective gear. Although, I decided to have some fun with them. I wouldn't go hard...well, too hard at least.

I whipped myself around, instantly pouncing from my position like a puma. I decided to go for the male first, and did a complete backflip, kicking him in the jaw hard but making it obvious I was holding back. Then, I sprang for the girl, hitting each side of her neck with the stronger part of my hands and kneeing her in the gut. For good measure, I also spun myself on my pivoted foot and gave a nice and powerful heel to the male's chest. That should at least knock the air out of both of them, sending them to the ground long enough for me to explain what my intentions were. That was a good warning not to sneak up on me from behind.

* * * * *

(Anidori, officer, Beka's twin) I walked out of my office busily, brushing a few strands of my short black hair from my face. I couldn't wait for it to grow longer. I passed by my untouched bulletproof vest and went through the assortment of guns, picking one out carefully. I never wore a bulletproof vest, I didn't need one. When you know how Runners work as well as I do, you need no protection. After searching through millions of machine guns, I sighed and looked away.

Machine guns are too big and carry too much weight. My handy dandy nice and small black handgun would work just fine. I looked around to find someone to come do rounds with me, but nobody was in just yet. However, after a second glance around I did see Vaughn. I knew everyone in the office, not that they knew me personally. But I learned all of their past and searched through their files. It was my job. I walked up to him with a small smile. I wasn't one to speak, but I had to get better.

"Hey Vaughn. Do you mind doing rounds with me over the rooftops? I have a feeling some Runners are out doing no good, but some help never hurts right? Whattya say?" I asked him, taking out my handgun and flipping it around my fingers. Nobody in the office was comfortable with the fact that their Head Officer always went out with no protection and a simple handgun. But honestly, once they saw what I can do, they never asked questions.

Iggy took the kicks and punches like a man, and yet ended up on his butt. "What the heck was that?" he screamed at her, his cheek bleeding from impact. He held his cheek in his hand, pressing hard, while he swore under his breath.

Izzi, however, didn't take the beating as well. She ended up laying on her side, coughing, wheezing, blood collecting in her mouth. "Ig," she breathed. "You were right." She stood, as did Iggy, and she spat the mouthful of blood at the female. As soon as the female had been splattered, Ig took over and punched forcefully at the female, connecting with her ribs and jaw a couple of times. Izzi jumped in, as well, delivering a few round-houses to the female's stomach.
