    <span style='color:teal'>*Raziel begins walking to the metro with Adrian once he comes out of the bar.*
    "Yeah, I could get a nice job and all, maybe even make more money that way, but where's the fun in that? Why not go around and almost get yourself killed and have fun doing it instead?"
    *He grins evilly and continues walking, pulling his coat up and counting the money and bills in his pockets.*

    "I'm sorry?" Wyzak questions, looking up at Sarlax to give him a strange look. "What is you're problem? I was just spacing out". Shaking his head at Sarlax's behaviour, Wyzak continues. "If you really must know, someone got killed in the metro. Made a bloody mess too."

    'Well at least I got him to volunteer that information'

    <span style='color:PaleGreen'>Location: Drznach Station

    Svetlana sighed – it had been a long and restless night with little sleep. After a day of heavy bombing the explosions had ceased late the previous evening. Accustomed to the bombs that exploded with a regularity that almost represented the heartbeat of the city, the silence became deafening. It’s ironic, she thought, that the very objects threatening my life are also the same ones that have come to represent normalcy and a sense of safety. The idea brought a cynical smile to her face as she stepped of the train onto the platform of Drznach Station.

    The station was strangely empty. Even though there were not many people here usually, the particularly desolate atmosphere this morning was unsettling. Svetlana shivered and pulled her coat more tightly around her. She sat down on a bench as her previous train pulled noisily out of the station and wondered how she would survive another day of lectures on barely any sleep. As the howling of the wind died down the sound of voices drifted through from a nearby stairwell. Looking at her watch she realised that she was fifteen minutes early for her next train. I may as well see what’s going on up there, she thought as she trudged wearily up the stairs, it’s better than waiting here alone.

    <b>Um... ok... I think she wins for being easily the most detailed poster yet to date, lol. One more thing Solan-whatever_the_rest_of_your_name_is, could we get an idea on what your character looks like? stats, equipment, background, etc?</b>

    <span style='color:orange'>*Estella notices that the man is not as innocent as he pretends to be, but decides to let it pass. There seems to be some bad blood between Wyzak and this man, and now is not the time to get some spilt on her.*

    *She sees a girl walking slowly up the railway stairwell, and frowns in thought.*
    “Hey, aren’t you...um...Svetlana? You’re in third year, aren’t you? We must have met before at some of the combined-year lectures. You picked a very good time to drop in.”</span>

In total, there's 55.000$, the first five thousand of them came from Petro.

    <i>Bill - With some effort, you're able to stagger along on the leg, though it hurts a bit and you'll sure need medical attention when you get out of here. It doesn't seem like there's anymore thugs coming right now, but you aren't sure because you're not hearing too well after that shootout.</i>

    <span style='color:DarkKhaki'>*Limping over to Raatko, Colin mutters "I hate C-bloody-Q-sodding-B". When He arrives at the body, he [quickly searches it for ID weapons and ammuntion, looking for a good pistol. If he fails to find a good pistol he takes the Uzi]. Then he slings the LMG and heads into the room Raatko came out of.*</span>

    <i>Bill - There's no ID, but a pretty thick wallet. No guns but the uzi. You walk into the room. On the floor lies 5 men. In the middle of the room lies Anthony, bleeding from a gut wound. His two handguns are lying on the floor in front of him. Around him lies four bodyguards. Two of them seem to have taken more shots to the heads than they could take (only one of them has something that can still be recognized as a head). Another has been shot twice, and the last seems to have been stuffed with whatever lead Darkness had left to use. A quick look at Darkness tells you that he isn't really at his best, and that he's losing blood fast, but that the bullet most likely didn't hit anything critical. If you're able to get him out of here very quickly, and find some help even faster, he might make it.</i>

    Loaction: Metro station

    Sarlex looked at the woman walking from the metro station.
    'So she is one of the little rebels then ? Why else would she be down there ?'
    He then heard Estella talk about how they have met before.
    'Wait these two are the other Polish rebels i was meant to kill ? Hmm seeing how you wasted that guy back there and now his gang is after you, prehaps you should <i>use</i> some of these people for protection? Protection for me, HAH ! Sarlex what did your Dad tell you when these things happens? ...... He, he, he....'
    A small tear came to his eyes, he immediately wiped it away hoping no one noticed.

    <i>Bill - You find a woman walking down the sidewalk in front of the bar. When you approach, she spots Anthony's body, then goes completely pale: "Oh my, what happened to him? That's horrible. We need to get an ambulance". She then grabs here cell-phone and begins entering the emergency numbers.</i>

    *Adrian snaps around quickly, mutter in a low but and raspy voice barely suppressed but still so*
    "Holy! Fifty five grand? And that was just <i>one</i> job! You could really go places man. But if you like it with the guns and adrenaline, I'd suppose. Just don't get yourself killed. People like you are one of a kind."
    *He then looks around once more, seeing all of the odd looks. He then whispers quickly to Raziel*
    "Man, that wasn't too smart. Think we're going to wanna get to out of this immediate area fast. I doubt the worst characters around would pass up a chance to get 55K in cash."
    *After further thoughts, his hand reaches down to his holster and flicks the safety off patiently, avoiding noise*
    "That dance was also rather impressive. A man of many traits, eh <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->."

    Khaim, Terran - You arrive at the station, an old and deserted place. The viewscreen shows 5 minutes untill the next train towards the central city leaves, and 10 minutes before a train leaves the other way.</i>
