Did he just call me a coward?
'No, he said he has no time for cowardice'
Well how rude of him.
Trace rolled his eyes and began to move forwards, giving one final message to the voice.
'You better be ready for whatever's ahead'
Oh, I'm more than ready.
A red tint appeared within Trace's eyes, before vanishing a second later. Trace grinned, and walked forwards, shouting out a single question as he did so.
"So none of you are going to try and kill me, right?"

Jace started to shout, "No pr-." Trist stopped him dead in his tracks.
"No, we need all we can get."

I don't like the way that sounds.
Trace didn't either, but he couldn't turn up the offer to see another being in this city who had retained their sense of self. Trace walked up to the other group, the smell that they let off becoming stronger. Trace stopped a few feet away from the man who had spoken to him, keeping a confident grin on his face.
"Name's Trace, whats going on here?"

"Crazies running the streets or haven't you noticed, besides that we haven't a clue whats going on." Trist reached towards the man a hand of friendship, " I am Trist and this is Johnny, Veronica, and of course Jace." The huge shadow being projected itself from behind Trist with a nod.

"Don't worry!" Johnny shouted back. "Were average-everyday-sane humans... Or I'd like to think we are."
Veronica looked at Trist and asked, "Do we just keep walking or do we do something?"

Shake his hand. We only need a group of expendibles.
Trace shook Trist's hand, still grinning widely.
"Of course I've noticed theres crazies running the streets. Although, truthfully, you wouldn't really notice a crazy in this city."
Trace took a look at each of Trist's companions, stopping to look at Jace. He pointed a finger directly at the shadowy creature.
"Your very rude, d'you know that?"

Trist laughed and Jace grimaced, "He knows Trust me, but to be serious we need to move forward there is something or someone ahead and I dont like the way it is kind of talking to itself." Trist and Jace turned and began walking, "lets go."

I guess he forgot you were talking to yourself a minute ago.
'Lets keep it that way' Trace thought to himself. Trace walked alongside the others, when a thought suddenly occured to him.
"Hey, anybody know where were going? Wait, better question, anyone have any alcohol?"

"Were heading towards that thing in the distance, alcohol wont do you much good, this place is a buzz kill."
All of them started moving forward towards the shadow the moved in the distance.

"Seriously? If we're heading towards one of those crazies, then alcohol is exactly what I need."
Trace gripped his head suddenly and with force, images of violence and suffering flashing through his head. The image of the group beside him dying at the hands of some creature. Trace realized that if they went charging in, it was going to end in bloodshed.
Maybe we don't tell them, it'll be fun.
Trace sighed.
"Guys. We're going to need a plan".

"There ain't nothing to do," Johnny began. "But hold on to what we have, press forward, and hope for the best.". Johnny took a deep breath before treading forward.
Veronica grabbed Johnny's arm and pulled him back.
"What are you doing?" Veronica asked.
"I'm going to see what awaits us."
"Why?"
"Because I want to see what else is out there and I don't want you standing over shit." Johnny kissed Veronica on the forehead and walked away. He turned back and said, "It's probably nothing!"

What ever it was that stood down on the other end of the sewer tunnel and broken its pattern and began moving forward towards the war torn residents of Animus that had sought shelter down below. He moved with a thump in every step, his walk was an awkward one but his stance was posed for battle. He moved ever closer, glances of his shape being seen as he passed beneath a drain. The Residents gathered close, all of them ready for what was coming. As the creature drew upon them they could see a jagged smile and a slime coated ogre of some sort. He towered over them and with a grin he posed himself for the impending battle.
Then as if a shift in the atmosphere had happened, a second voice broke the threshold. Then what seemed to appear from a cloud of nothing was yet another creature or more so a man in this case. He wore an all black suit unlike his comrade who preferred more primitive wear. He flipped out a pack of cigarettes towards the group. "Any body want one?" His presence has calmed the first creature but a look of annoyance showed it didn't set well that the battle never took place.
Trist and Jace both stood quiet, well quiet as far as everyone else could tell. They had been arguing since the first movement towards them about what should be done about it.

"I'll have a smoke!", Johnny said, stunned. "Please tell me who the hell you are?"

The man in black snatch a cigarette from the back before tossing it to Johnny. He lit it before letting go a puff of smoke. There was a sort of aura about him that was indescribable. "Ah formalities, I miss those. Its been quite sometime since I have introduced myself." He took a drag and as he breathed out it seemed the smoke turned black as he spoke. "I am the Black Goat of the Forest, but I suppose one could just call me whatever they would like since i have gone by so many names now. I have to admit I am a little loss at such common things."
The creature of ogre descent spoke aloud in a hiss of a voice, his eyes blood read. "I am Olan, and you are trespassing on in my home, I should kill you all where you stand." His words and purpose were of simple things but he also knew his place in the chain and dared not move towards the group.
The man in black smiled, "I know of all of you though, both name is soul, you are all new to this place. Isn't that right Johnny?"

Trist stood quiet, Jace held his tongue for now, mostly due to curiousity
