Character:
Johann Augustus, Accru'al
Location:
Aurius Forest (formerly Plaguewood)
Johann jumped into cover beside her, Accru'al fading into one of the stones of his bracelet, which his master grabbed as he took to cover.
The crunch of leaves beneath feet grew louder as the pair of figures manifested. They were tall and thin, wearing long red coats and a pair of golden colored breastplates and pauldrons over top them. Slung over their shoulders were a pair of rifles, ammunition clips already primed and loaded. Both wore domed helmets with something of a ridged metal, sweeping along the back of the necks and side of the head. Struck upon the forefront of the helms was stamped a gear with a pair of wrenches crossed, a symbol imitated on their shoulder pads. Of their faces there was not even a hint, metallic masks stretching down into a sharp tip, while a pair of strangely large red lenses hid the eyes.
"Holy fel dude, I'm sooo hungry. Can we like, go get something to eat when we get back."
"Man, I told you to eat before we left the airship."
"That's what you said?"
"Of course that's what I said. What'd you think I said?"
"I thought you-."
"Atatatatata! No, dude, no. I don't even want to know."
"...So we gonna get something to eat after this?"
"Maybe. What'd you have in mind."
"Saw a sweet shop like, two miles back."
"Sugar again?"
"What, you don't like sugar?"
"I dunno. Wanna try something new. Like, something with cheese. And maybe meat."
"Like...pizza?"
"Dude! Yes! @#$%ing. Yes. Pizza, let's get pizza."
Johann looked to Naia hidden beside him, eyes wide as the two soldiers conversed in deep, distorted voices. He silently pointed at the gloved hand one of the soldiers was gesturing at the other with as they passed.
The two men had only three fingers a hand.

"Yeah, well, you're a bitch," Nexus muttered, jumping after her. The freefall was too much for her, though, and she pulled her cord almost right away.
Character: Kef
Location: Stormwind
"Thank you," Kef replied, taking the paper. She quickly found the sink, washed her hands, and rummaged around until she could find a mask. Looking at the map, she spotted a ward and headed in that direction.

Sasha nodded, grinding her teeth together as she fired off another shot that brought down a Worgen easily. "Yeah..." She mumbled in response to the captain. "A-are there any other ways in?" She asked.
Alana made her way back out, beginning to help Evan and Kai.

Leo Prometheus, Sindry, Byte
Location:
Open Sky
Wind whistled by Leo's face, forcing the scientist to blink rapidly during his descent. A sea of white stretched out beneath him, and if not for the few scraggly pines with which he could judge the height, he would most likely have simply thudded into the ground, not even knowing it had been there until he was splattered across it.
As it was, he pulled the cord of his chute, jerking in the air as it unfurled behind him and slowly lowering him to the ground. He drifted slightly due to the wind, leaving long furrows in the snow as he was slowly dragged along it before touching before at last touching the hard packed snow below. His hand shot to the belt around his chest, un-clipping it before he could be dragged any further and leaving the chute to limply collapse on the ground.
Leo stood up, shading his eyes and squinting in the snow as he looked for the other two's landings.

Character: Nexus
Location: Storm Peaks
Nexus, having deployed her parachute earlier than the other two, drifted father away and was the last to land. Light a she was, it took her a while to even touch down, and even then, she was barely able to keep her footing until she unclipped her chute.
Looking around, she couldn't see the others.
"Crap."

Character
: John William Cassidy
Location
: K3, Storm Peaks
A gangly figure in a long black leather coat walked up to the recruiting message, tilting their head a little to get a better look at it, resulting in the brim of their wide hat matching the coat bumping into the carrying beam the paper was pinned to. Those close to the mercenary - and the figure in black leather was most likely a mercenary or a bounty hunter of some kind, given that the message interested them - could hear the labored, monotonous breathing that came out in barely visible puffs of white, as well as get a glimpse of an ornate respirator covered by a checkered black and white scarf and a pair of opaque, tight-fitting round goggles.
The mercenary raised a glove-encased hand with long, nimble fingers and absentmindedly gave one of the two-inch long spikes adorning the goggles a twist, letting out a quiet, satisfied grunt. They turned on their heels, the coat flapping and revealing for a moment a pair of woolen trousers tucked into thick-soled leather boots and belted by a wide sash, to which a scabbard holding a curved saber was attached, and an equally woolen vest worn over a gray turtleneck. The bounty hunter headed towards the barkeep.
"Would you kindly. Pour honeymint tea here?" he - and from the sound of his voice, it was obvious that the mercenary was, in fact, a male - grated, producing first a handful of coins, then a flask out of the depths of his coat. The goblin at the bar nodded hastily and picked up a large brass kettle.
It was not long before the mercenary was sitting in one of the darker corners of the hall. His checkered scarf was pulled down, revealing the entirety of the breathing mask - but not an inch of skin - and he slowly and contentedly sipped from his flask via a thin tubule stuck in a special opening in the respirator.

"I think I have something. Trouble is, it looks like he walked in already having cast the glamor," Lisciel informed the others, standing near the doors and scanning the immediate area for residues of countenance changing charms.
"See what?" Aewen asked.
Character
: the acolyte, Thane Sigmund's Undead
Location

Without looking back, the acolyte broke into a run.
The mist began to thicken around the airship, and soon enough distant flashes of light could be seen ahead, accompanied by a sonorous wailing.
Character
: Ted Dawes
Location
: Stormwind City
When Kef entered the ward, immediately one of the charity workers, wearing a set of colorful scrubs popped up next to her.
"You're the new one, huh? At the moment we got ourselves a sprained ankle, a bloke coughing blood and a bad case of hangover. Take your pick."

"A lazy one of course." Kiran said with a grin as Koran chuckled. Lobo looked back at the group for a moment then turned his focus forward again.
"They're mad." Karkov growled and Lobo shrugged.
"Maybe, but since we know nothing about this Trio, I'd rather have them here fighting alongside us." He replied, turning down a street. "Should be at the first location in a few minutes."

"Pff," Serenade grumbled, getting into a GP. "At least we have air conditioning. That's better than nothing."

"Sure," Alnerigo shrugged. "But if we want it to be long distance, I'll have to concentrate to hold it up, so I won't be too much help in a fight."

"Hmmm..." Leo murmured as he pulled his jacket closer. "Where could they be."
"She jumped out last so, dunno."
"Gears!" Leo cursed as he spun round, SIndry standing behind him and dusting off her shoulder of any residual snow. "Don't...do that!" Leo cursed. Sindry merely shrugged, digging her hadns into the pockets of her black winter coat.
Leo shivered and looked away, watching as the snowlakes danced past his head. "Well, if she did, she'd be somewhere downwind. Come on, that jacket of hers should be like a freaking spotlight," Leo said, starting off in the direction the snow went as it was gently tossed up like waves in the sea. Sindry didn't waste long before following, walking in the deep furrow her brother cut in the snowbanks.

Location:

"See that?" Johann whispered, pointing at the hands. "Three fingers? Only trolls have that, and those two aren't nearly tall enough to be trolls," he whispered as the two men marched past, still debating the choice of pizza.

Capitol City, Gilneas
Kiran grinned back at Vrell, then his expression changed to one of sudden hate as he looked ahead of them, seeing a home with it's front door torn off and laying in the street.
Lobo slowed, approaching carefully as Karkov backed him up. The worgen looked over at the half-lings and saw the expression on Kiran's face. "Who is it?" He asked him.
"Destro...but she's not here anymore." Kiran all but snarled as he stopped outside of the building.
"Karkov, take Kiran and Vrell and look for any evidence of where she went after this." The commander said, then looked at Hazel. "If you'll assist me Lady Hazel?" He asked, heading for the door.
Koran followed after the lead worgen, as Kiran went with the giant one, his mouth set in a grim line, still smelling the scent of the Twilight sworn.

"Aw man, but we'll have to send a letter to the Monarchy to get some free time."
"Aw dude, that's right. And that's assuming Richard'll even do it. Weak."
"Yo man, wait, I think I got it."
"Dude?"
"What if we, like, tell him we found the tunnels, then ask! It's like, he'll like us more afterwards, then he'll send the letter!"
"Dude...That's @#$%ing brilliant! Yes! Yes! Let's do it! Let's go!"
"Whoah dude, marching order. We're still soldiers of the Queen here."
"Totally man, totally."
Johann watched the two soldiers march away, then sighed in relief. "That was close."
Character:
Dr. Prometheus Sr., Pyre
Location:
Gilnean border
Dr. Prometheus stared through the view port of the airship from the captains chair, his mouth a thin line as he stared at the dark landscape stretching out before him. He looked down to the crewman at the radio station, fiddling with a series of dials, a pair of headphones pressed against his ears.
"Anything?" he asked curtly.
"Nothing, Doctor. Can't even get a local signal from the capital."
"Is it a problem on our end?"
"Doubt it, sir. Seems like its a total blackout. I can't hail them or anything."
The doctor looked back to the darkened shores of the peninsula nation. As he looked, a smile slowly began splitting his face. "Iiiinteresting. Take us in," he ordered, rising to his feet. "We'll head towards the city. I think its time we shed some light on this situation."
With a rumble of engines, the zeppelin entered the darkened nation.

Mary lit the final lantern, "Already finished." She dashed over to where Joanne and took cover with her, and turned to the woman "Doesn't this station have some underground exit for emergences? Or maybe someone small enough to get out through a vent?"

"Any sort of crawlspaces or sewer entrances maybe?" Sasha suggested. "Assuming we could fit, of course."
The massive radio tower sat as silent as the rest of Gilneas City. From the outside, one would never suspect it wasn't suffering from the same blackout. Nor would one likely think it might have any connection to the broadcast that had overtaken Gilneas before the blackout.
That was the plan of the several who still remained within. Runes drawn along the walls within had created a magical bubble, protecting the station from the EMP and allowing it to continue running afterwards.
Although, it was not sending out any sort of normal radio signal. It did not broadcast any sort of talk show or music to fried and shut down radios around the country. Rather, the signal was much like the EMP that had caused the blackout to begin with.
Any technology that had somehow survived the initial wave found itself dead and fried, shortly after entering the city borders in hopes of using it to help.
The field around the city remained invisible for the most part, nearly undetectable as the airship approached.

"Well, we can find out if you are or not easily." Ferin said. "Where do you shop for clothes?" He asked with a slight trollface.

Specter slipped into the back as well, doing his best to give Azuretalon ample room.

Serenade checked to make sure everyone was in, then exited the hangar. "SPEED," he roared, and floored the gas pedal, accelerating at a far faster speed than it was meant to. "YEEHAW!"
