*The Story*

Sometime in humanity's future they abandoned Earth for reasons forgotten. It's been 5 generations since their departure. To this very day they have lived in space searching for a hospitable planet, or even one that could be terraformed. People though are content for the most part. Living a rather luxurious lifestyle did that.

However various colony ships have been falling to some kind of sickness. At first you are very strong, everything is enhanced. But then something happens. No one is sure what but people end up dying on the ship and those found alive attacked without warning. The remaining ships are mostly inhabited by civilians. Living in their life if luxiury, trying to forget the trouble stirring outside of their small artificial world.

-----------------

You play people living aboard this ship. At first things are going smoothly; atheletic records are being broken, everyone is happy. Then during the night something nightmarish happens: people are missing. Who are you? And What is your story?

Personality: Quin is happy pretty much all the time so he's viewed as the optimisic ditz (he's clumsy-silly). Though he views himself more as a realist. Believing that doing what is necessary is more important than what he wants. Yet at the same time he has high moral values and sticks closely to rules. That brings out his serious side, practically the only time he's not smiling.
Bio: Quin grew up like most other "colonist" Pretty content with his life living it out. He's the only child, and still has both his parents. His mother is a caretaker, often having kids over, and his father works in the waste disposal field.

Growing up his parents taught him to follow rules, respect elders, keep things clean, etc. So unlike all his friends Quin doesn't act like a teenager in a sense....anyway Quin's dream job is to be a navigator or a teacher if he can't make it that far. Currently in high school, and is used to taking care of children. But has recently abandoned the idea of being there for his familiy for personal reasons.

Quin walked hope still feeling that buzz from the run with his friends. He always loved running, and tonight's hang out with his friends left him on a all-time energy high...then again it could be all those sugar and caffeine products. The night time sky was the only thing real when you look up. Daylight is simulated, and so is the wind. The vastness of the night sky took Quin's breath away. If this is what a real sky looks like, it would be nice to see one during the day.

Home was right around the corner. Once Quin realized that his previous excitement was replaced with worry. The kind every teenager faces. Quin stayed out late and now he'd have to face his parents. If only living quarters weren't layed upon one another like those desert homes ancient people built into the rock ages ago. If the houses were built differently maybe, just maybe, Quin could sneak in. But that wasn't going to happen. Even worse His Dad relied on him to take care of his mom.

She had gotten sick recently. The doctors weren't sure what was wrong. All diagnostics said that she should be healthy. "Please be asleep." he said with hope as he opened the door.

"Quin Terra Lake where have you been?" a male voice demanded patiently. uh oh! Why's Dad here?!

((so, can I start?))

Sure, but for goodness sake I said PM me the profile. =p

((I'm sorry!))

Alma had been sitting in her artificial tree that was outside her window. Her little brother, Nico was sick, her father was sick, and her mother had died at her birth. As her little brother lay on her bed, the coolest place in the house, she wondered if she should try the doctor again. She had tried when Nico had first started getting a fever. The line had been busy, so she had hung up.
She dropped out of her tree and took a stroll. Her father would understand if she needed fresh air. She looked up at the real moon. "I wonder what it's like down on Earth." She murmured. She knew about the old planet; she also knew that they would be far far away from it by now. She heard a door opening and a angry voice come from inside. Wonder what that is? she wondered. She instantly got into her spying mode and headed toward the sound.

[[Well you're good at RPing so I forgive you. ^_^ Alma is sneaky, sneaky]]

"uh..." Quin desparately wantd to take this interrogation another way. What he did wasn't wrong. But no matter what he could say would probably be turned right back around into a bad thing by his Dad. Parents had this strange ability to make your head spin. Any time you have a conversation something that should be straight-forward and wapr it into a paradox.

"I was hanging out with my friends and-"

"You are supposed to take care of your Mother! What if-"

"HEY! I DO take care of Mom. Just like you go to work. YOU need a break."

His father pushed him back into the seat shushing him. "Sit" he commanded with a whisper. Then looked outside thoughtfully.

((Not to sound picky or anything, but how can you see the moon when you're not even near earth? Then you should only see stars. Or maybe moons on other planets. But out in space far from earth there is no mood just drifting around. Sorry, just ofund it really odd.))

Luneth gave a heavy sigh as he sat down somewhere random. He had been running all over all day and he was beat. Why did he have to do every little errand for everyone? Couldn't they get off their butts and go do their own errands? He had much better things to do then run back and forth between two lovers that refused to leave their home and insisted on passing notes, and run off to get some stuff for some lady that kept 'remembering' what she forgot all the time. Maybe people just enjoyed pushing him around? He really had to quit doing all these worthless tasks. From now on he would put his foot down and refuse to do stuff that people should be doing on their own. Just because he had no parents and pretty much just stayed with anyone that would take him in for a while didn't mean he had to obey every little thing people asked him to do. And he was not going to do everything he was asked to anymore. He was just too tired of it. It wasn't this bad at first, but lately people really had enjoyed pushing him around.

Maybe he should just stay 'outside' tonight? They all were in a ship after all, so he would still in a way be indoors. He could use a break and to be away from everyone for a bit. But it still would be nice to have a friend around. He had friends, but he was usually too busy to be around them these days. That was another good reason for stopping with all the junk tasks. People would have to learn to do things on their own from now on.

Alma heard some argument going on inside the house. It soon bored her, until some one mentioned someone getting sick. She perked up immediatly, wondering if there was a cure to her brother's sickness.

[[Just stopping in quickly, sorry nto enough time to post I got a project and lab due so stressful that. Dx

@Limbo: I thought that was really odd too, but then Kitty's character knows about poor old Earth and vaguely hints that we're around another planet....so I guess we sort of know where the ship is at.]]

((yeah. I was sort of thinking that we knew because people told us or something))

Alma stopped listening when she realized how long she had been gone. She ran to her house, hoping nothing had gone wrong. Her father was still asleep, with a fever yes, but that was the least of her worries. She ran to her brother's side where she could just make out his breathing. She wrapped him in a blanket and ran out the door to the doctors.

[[There was not even 1in of snow outside this morning and there's a 2-hour delay in school today. XD]]

Quin sighed loudly and finally stood up. "Dad..." he looked over somehwhere between the window and the floor. Finding something to say was tough. "Never mind I need calm down." But instead of walking into his room, Quin left the house.

"Wait-" That's as far as his father got for whatever reason. Then he stood up and went to see his wife. And Quin left running.

Alma ran past the house she had been spying on earlier. She saw someone leave, but she didn't care. She ran to the hospital and found the doors locked.

((Hahaha. I don't have anything to write really. But oh well))

Luneth gave a yawn as he looked up. Even if it wasn't much to see. It was always the same anyhow. He really hoped that he wouldn't be living his entire life on the darn ship. He didn't want to end up as all other generations. Stuck on a ship for all their lives. It was insane. Why had they left earth at all so long ago? No one had really told him anything. At least not as he remembered. And every time he asked, it seemed that people were too busy talking about something else then to reply at his questions. He never seemed to get any questions answered.

Closing his eyes, he seriously considered about just sleeping 'outside' tonight. was getting too late to really ask around for some one to stay with. And he most likely wasn't alone with being one that had to go from place to place. The older the ship got, the more easily things broke down, and that caused allot of accidents. There really had been allot of times when Luneth thought that they all were probably to die some time soon. And it was without a doubt hard to find spare parts to such a big ship too.

Alma pounded on the doors, calling, "Is anyone there? My brother is sick!" she sat down on the steps, hoping someone would come. Her brother was shivering from the artificial cold they make when the day was over. She wrapped him closer saying, "It's ok, just hang on Nico... Someone will come"

Natalie sighed, she couldn't remember a time when someone on the ship wasn't sick or dying. She was an only child so her parents would be crushed if she were to fall ill. She was supposed to have a baby brother, but he died young in infancy. It was something she had learned to forget, but she still kept a picture of him. It was a foolish thing, but she believed that in a way, he was living through the picture.

She stared out her window to see the outside, everything she knew wasn't real. She had read that out of a book, but it made her wonder what a real tree or flower might look like. It was late, but she had the sudden feeling to play the piano. If she played something slow and pretty, usually the other people on the ship didn't mind. She shrugged her shoulders and sat down at her white, grand piano and began to play. The worst anyone could do was tell her to stop.

((sorry, it got kind of long ^^"))

Alma must've fallen asleep by the door because she awoke to the sound of a piano. She checked Nico, he was still there. She followed the music, hoping it would lead her to a doctor of some sort.

[[Long post are good ones, and sometimes short ones can pack a punch!
It's a little sad that the mostly likely outcome is Nico dying. =(

@Limbo: I'm going to assume your dude's lying down. =] ]]

Quin grew up in this ship, always running. Every inch of this ship's ground he knew as well as the inside of his house. Not entirely a good thing because he paid no mind to what shouldn't be on the ground. Like say...a person. "whOOA!" Immediately Quin knew he didn't trip over a rock or stray trash. it was too, how do you put nicely- Jiggly?

"Sorry, sorry! Did I hurt you badly?"

Alma couldn't hear the music, probably because she was so scared. she ran to a friends house, but it said, "visiting family back tom!" she tried a few other houses, but either same result or sleeping like a log. "Some one answer!" she cried.

Natalie heard a shout and her fingers slipped hitting a very off key note very loudly. She heard her parents stir in their room and began to laugh nervously afraid that she had woken up half the ship. But she wondered who had yelled.

Alma felt Nico shiver, he was horribly cold. She heard the piano go off a note, maybe the person heard her. "Hello? Can anyone help me??"

Natalie's parents sternly told her to go to bed. They had assumed that her being tired had caused her to go off key. She wanted to argue saying she heard someone yell, but one look at their faces and she headed to her room. Though when the cost was clear she snuck out and left her house.

Alma sighed. It was probably nothing, some recording f a piano. She hadn't played one in awhile, Nico like the sound of the piano. Thinking of Nico made her look down, Nico was looking at her with big black eyes. She smiled at him, trying to make sure he held on.
