Current Events
Updated: 20/07/2020

**ALERT!** After a rather eventful evening at Maksim's Party, three teenagers seems to have gone missing. The doors of Vault Olympia have been breached due to a to this day unknown assailant, who sabotaged the doors locking systems, allowing demons to make entry. Thanks to the excellent defensive capabilities of the Vault's Security drones, the Attack was put to an end, and the invading monsters fled to the outside. Right now, the Doors of Vault Olympia are currently open, allowing any survivors of the fall to seek shelter within the Vault's safe halls. What Vault Security officials think of this development remains unclear as the Chief of Police and Security of Olympia refused to leave a comment. This is Rianara, of Olympia news, signing out.

The site is entering a new era as our team of mods works tirelessly on updating old and obsolete information threads and links. Over the Summer, we aim to make many changes to the forum, including writing a comprehensive beginners' guide to help new players accommodate to the combat and other rp systems in place here.

Be sure to constantly check the update thread for any changes to the boards. You can find it ->Here<-

The lights of the city roared on as the sun set over a metropolis that made the boy the man he was today, strolling along a lonely sidewalk, on his way home from school.  It had been an average day, he had enrolled relatively fresh into this school now that he could afford it, it was harder, and the time spent having to take the public transport to get to it was annoying but a necessity for a brighter future … a bright future … what an odd concept, working your entire life so that you can enjoy it years later … how did the saying go?


The path is the goal not the end, something like that. A smirk was born out of the hard framed face of the teenager known as Kizan Kizuri, his grey stone cold eye stared out on to the city, this place was a world of its own, a jungle of concrete and steel harboring all kind of creatures that crawl across its land, that eat and kill each other, that slowly climb the ladder of evolution in order to believe that they have achieve something when they finally reach the top. Yeah the city was cruel, but so was he, his grin widened, he had reached bus stop and stood in utter silence, as he waited for his transport home.


Fifteen minutes later the young man was in a seat in the subway, riding along a set path thought the tunnels of the ever expanding city. His destination was  Nadashiki he lived right in the center of area known for its low standard of living and extreme crime rates. He didn’t mind that though, he was part of both of these statistics.  And he was proud of it, proud to have made it this far, proud to have survived were others perished, and proud that he too had climbed the ladder, a ladder that started in the vet lowest of low, the very street was his home, now he lived two stories over it, in a relatively well established apartment.


The young man checked his clock, it was midnight, looking around he realized he was the only one in his cabin, a relatively common around this time, he relaxed his large tensed body, he didn’t like crowds and had the natural defensive instincts to try and intimidate the people around him, thus being along these instincts softened and so his body sacked together as he relaxed. He closed his eyes, the train always made him sleepy, suddenly a sound woke him up again, the TV monitor hanging at the end of the wagon, Kizan stood up leaving his bag behind, slowly approached the black box, an odd heartbeat like noise came from it, the young man carefully lifted his hand and tapped the screen,  suddenly the black background came to live and a white and black fizzle appeared with the accompanying sound, that was incredibly irritating to the ears of the 11th grader.


Sighing he turned around and headed back to his seat, the noise stopped, this caused the boy to turn around again, his eyes caught on the screen that was now showing some sort of room, oddly confused he step by step returned to the screen, and just as he got right before it a sudden sound like falling metal hollowed throughout the wagon and a face flipped in to the screen a grey eye zoomed in to the max staring right in to his own, Kizan fell back and landed on his behind, as he stared in to the stone grey eye that was focused right at him.


The train shirked and Kizans stare was broken as the train halted and the door opened, looking back at the TV the face was gone, feeling very uncomfortable the boy stood up grabbed his bag and left the odd wagon, he didn’t want to stay there any longer, and left the station in a hurry, just fifteen minutes later the boy opened a back door that led in to a well-known bar around the area, he sighed dropping his bag at a corner, and greeted his employer “Eyy Kizan where have you been  the bars getting fuller hurry up kid” he nodded and made a sharp grin as he snared “Sorry boss I am right at it”



That said the boy took of his black hoody revealing a black undershirt with a white cartoonish skull design on it, over his shoulder he slapped a towel and moved through a door behind the bar, as his employer said the bar was pretty full and he quickly got order after order making cocktails drinks and shots for the many customers.

Another of those literally bothersome days at school had finally ended and Kaihei was more than happy to get out of the cursed building. It wasn't that he was against schools in general, but he mostly found it a waste of time for him. A big one. After all, he was smart enough to learn on his own, that he was pretty sure of, and without having to go to school he could avoid meeting annoying people too. Social interactions with classmates were a literal pain in the ass, that he had already learned. It always ended in irritating him with something totally useless. Which, he obviously did not enjoy.

Walking away from the hell of a building, he was silently debating where to go now. He didn't particularly feel like returning to the dorms as he'd most likely get swarmed by some of his dormmates and he was pretty sure he did not want that to happen right now. It would only annoy him more. Then again, wherever he'd go, he probably won't end up being alone, so it didn't really matter as much. While he was arguing with himself, he found himself in Nadashiki, as he didn't particularly pay attention to where he was walking to. Well, that wasn't his favourite part of Ueitawa so far, but he'd take it for now. Not that it mattered much. Every place had something boring or annyoing so it made no actual difference in the end.

With a sigh, he stopped in front of a bar located nearby, giving it a side glance. That was far from his preffered place to hang out at, as he highly disliked crowds, but he could use getting himself something to drink. It was a tough decision, but he figured that he could make it if he sought out a spot which had less people. He only hoped that he wouldn't regret this. It was bad enough when school pissed him off, and he didn't want some stupid bar to shove him up too. That would be really lame. Thankfully, he managed to find a sort of suitable place quickly enough, practically bolting through the crowd in his way, not bothering to apologize. If there was anything he would like less than getting pissed off, it would be freaking out. Oh, how he hated his sucky phobia of big crowds.

With that out of the way, he slumped down in a seat, making sure he was the only one sitting at that table. He didn't care about bothersome company in the least, even if he could handle smaller amounts of people around him. After that he turned his multicolored gaze boredly towards the main part fo the bar, waiting for a waiter to come by, and kind of hoping that whoever came by wouldn't be a hassle. He knew that many waiters tended to be almost sickeningly cheery to try and please their customers. It only made Kaihei want to throw up. Sugarcoating was so useless. If one can't even face the harsh reality, then the world is pretty bad at it. At least, that made sense, in his mind.

Kizan watched the crowd move through the hall of met and beer, shots and drunken men and women paying to satisfy their animalistic need. The young man served behind the bar for most of the night, but as it became ever darker the amount of people also became fewer, Kizan was forced to also serve the people sitting in the different tables around the relatively larger room, the bar had always been rundown, Kizan didn’t remember one instant where every light hanging of the dirty ceiling actually worked, or where they actually had every drink, that they claimed to have on the menu.


The red light flickered as Kizan watched a new customer make his way through the crowd, pushing and forcing people aside, giving the man a cold eye, the much taller teen grabbed a menu and trotted across the room, aiming for where the new guy had taken a seat, with an almost expressionless face he dropped the menu on his table, glimpsing over the boy’s face his breath stocked, his eyes had completely different colors, trying to control his breathing he dared to take another look at him before asking “So what can I do you for?”



That in mind Kizan waited it out hoping to get this order across relatively quickly.

Well, one thing about this bar did end up turning fairly good. And that was the fact that he did not have to wait too long for a waiter to show up. If he had been forced to wait, it would be irksome to say the least. He did not come there to waste time, that was for sure. Although, he would have not left if it took too much time, he definitely would have been in a more lousy mood if it had happened. What was sort of surprising was, that the supposed waiter that came up, was actually quite young. He had no idea they employed teens in bars. Then again he had never been interested in this kind fo stuff. He had no part time job himself. It just wasn't worth it, as it would most likely mean some sort of interaction with others, and he was so not up for that.

He watched with a calm expression as the menu was dropped onto the table he sat by. Well, someone apparently wasn't a fan of beating around the bush, but Kaihei was pretty much content with that. It generally meant less curveballs to work around, and that in his opinion was a good thing. With that in mind he picked up the menu, and gave it a quick glance through. The choice of drinks and all seemed quite big, but he didn't care much. Something simple would be more like it. When he was asked what he wanted, he finally gave the other boy a direct look, almost raising an eyebrow at the skull patterned t-shirt. Was this guy a punk or something? It would just suit him with that blank look, and the gray color of his eyes did not help that much. Well, not that it was his business, really. ''I think I'd take black coffee, if you have that.'', he said shortly, with an indifferent shrug, as he stretched his arm out, handing the menu back. He didn't plan on ordering anything else, so he might just as well return it. It wasn't like he even read it properly. He had to hope they actually had what he asked for, as he totally just skipped over the damned thing. Besides, if they didn't have coffee, that would be lame. It was like one of the most basic stuff. With that said and done, he waited for the yound waiter's response.

Kizan stood in perfect silence, as his stone cold grey eyes peeked in to those of the two colored boys, an amazing sight indeed, as he himself was still considering the aspects of what could have caused the two different colors in the boys pupils, the teen sat quietly and studied the menu for a second before boldly asking for a black coffee, an odd order in a rundown alcohol spurting bar like this, and with a bit of an confused look the larger of the two boys asked “Ehm do you want a shot of vodka with that?” still in confusion of the boys order, after having found out the answer to his question Kizan would make his way back behind the bar in an attempt to find some coffee, after realizing this was in vain, he trotted a bit back further into the bar and inspected the store room where he did indeed find some coffee beans, after shredding it up and putting  it into the machine he made a relatively large cup of coffee, adding or not adding the additional drink that the boy might have ordered.


Stopping by the bar again he also took some other orders, dropped some beers and taking some bills before finally returning to the young man and his odd order, having arrived he sat the coffee down, and possibly the other drink that would be served in a small shot glass.
After having placed the liquids on the table he asked “Is there anything else you want?” he asked with a mixture of boredom and discipline in his voice

Kaihei actually raised his eyebrow a little bit when the waiter teen confusedly asked him whether he wanted vodka too. Yes, he was aware that bars like these served mostly alcoholic drinks, so it was to be expected in a way, but it made him slightly wonder if he looked that old, or they just offered alcohol to anyone. He stared at the other teen for a while, contemplating his options, before agreeing, hoping that would settle it quicker, even though he was not a fan of alcohol. ''Hmph, will do I suppose.‘‘, he shrugged in an answer and watched as the teen scurried away with his order afterwards.

Hm, he realized that the combination of cofffe and alcohol would be a little weird, but it was a little late to think on that since he already agreed anyway. Hopefully, it would not end up being gross. That would most likely not lift his spirits at all. How troubling. By the time he was done with his pondering, his ordered drink had arrived. Kaihei turned his head around to look at the teen when he asked him the question. ‘‘Not really. Unless you have something very good that contains no alcohol.‘‘, he said calmly after giving it a short thought. He didn’t feel like studying menus much, so maybe someone who works there would know well enough. If not, he wouldn’t particluarly care. He already had something ordered anyway.

The boy siting in front of him, took his drinks without question, the more he looked at this guy and his behavior the more he wondered where he was from, ordering a café ? And his comment on no alcohol … defiantly not a guy from around these parts. And then there was the thing with his eyes … Kizan was almost addicted to the odd sight of the two colored irises, an incredible sight. After haveing passed him his drink, Kizan had asked if there was anything else he could do, and he did get and answer.


Pondering about the answer for a second he came up with a solution “Yeah we got some pretty good stuff, give me a sec” leaving the table he headed back to the bar, taking an order and handing it to the huge man standing behind the kitchen counter, who immediately begun making the desired meal, while the teen also headed in to the kitchen he didn’t have to prepare as much, he took a small serving basket, put some of the house made tacos in and mixed it with cheddar cheese and some shredded meet, adding the fitting spices he placed it in the oven, returned to the bar counter, gave some drinks, took some orders and returned to fetch the tacos, all in all it took about fifteen minutes max, returning to the odd new customer, he placed the basket on his table “This is probably the best meal that you can possibly get around these parts, on the house”


That said he left back to the bar, he didn’t want to get in trouble with the chef for this, he knew he wouldn’t get caught as he was gone take the bill later anyway, and if he had too he could just as well pay it up if the boss saw it before he wrote the bill.


The guy seemed like a lost soul around these parts, and he was definitely not a threat, in a place like this where the weak were prayed on and eventually killed, small actions like this were worth gold, anyone growing up around here like him knew that best. And the boy didn’t seem much older or much younger than him anyway.



It was then that one of the large crowds of people left the bar, almost immediately reducing the amount of people in the room by half, that being so Kizan could comfortably stand at the bar, clean some dishes, take some minors orders, refill some drinks, and have some bar keeper chit chat that came with the job.

Kaihei began to wonder whether it was a good idea to let the waiter decide on the food after the teen in question left with the words that they had some good stuff. Well, hopefully, he wasn’t going to die here, whatever would he be served with. Meanwhile the mysterious order was prepared, he turned to his drinks, pondering as to which one should he start with. Eventually, he settled on the alcohol, to get it out of the way. He emptied the glass in one gulp, making a slight grimace as he set the glass down on the table. This stuff was strong, and he didn’t really find the taste pleasing. ‘Tch...‘, he thought irritably, before turning to his coffee, which sadly tasted a bit weird after taking that shot. Definitely a wondeful beginning. However, before he could drill holes into the coffee cup with his glare, the waiter returned with a sort of a meal. To be honest, Kaihei had no idea what it was, but at least it didn’t look bad.

He really wanted to retort something sharp when he was told that it was on the house, but his target left before he managed to formulate a proper response. With a roll of his eyes, he made a decision to call him out on that later, if he had the chance to see him befor he left this bar. With a wary look, he dug into the food, taking a testing bite. ‘‘Will do I guess...‘‘, he mumbled to himself, as he continued eating. He finished fairly quickly, and drowned the rest of his coffee after that. Thankfully for him, most of the bigger crowd has cleared meanwhile, so he wouldn’t have to narrowly avoid them. Seeing the teen that served him by the counter, he went over that way, still bent on saying something about the free food. And he had to pay for his drinks anyway.

‘‘Hey.‘‘, he called out bluntly, as the waiter boy seemed to be more so conversing with other employees. ‘‘Can I have the bill?‘‘, he asked after getting the teen’s attention, ‘‘And what’s the deal with the food anyway?‘‘ He did not ask that one directly, but he wasn’t in the mood to make a scene, so he hoped the waiter would get it without a detailed question. He wasn’t the one to mess around too much.

“How long has it been since I had something to eat?” Kogami would say to himself as he walked among the streets of Nadashiki. The lights were bright and the music was loud, people of all types and character hanged around here. Due to the recent failures that occurred as of late, Kogami took it upon himself to do some of his own investigations. He wanted to prove to Lori that he wasn’t just full of hot air, that there were some things he could do as well. The feeling of having someone count on you, it make you go out of your way to make sure that you disappoint them.

His disguise was simple, black hair with regular street clothes. Kogami was also sporting a hoodie that was half way on his head. There wasn’t no real plan, he was going to get a bite to eat and maybe ask around for some leads. Kogami then quietly took his seat at the bar and sends his hand up as a gesture to signal the waiter.

Kizans evening continued as it had most nights he worked at the bar, he had gotten the job though his connections to the gang that the bar paid its protection money two, one hand washed the other and just like that the boy made enough money to support his housing and school fees, food was handled through the bar where he took the leftovers, or made something himself.




As the night went on his mysterious customer came to the bar, in anticipation for more time to get to know this oddity of a teen, he dropped the conversations he had with some current customers and instead leaned over to the boy and his odd eyes, “What can I do ya?” he was disappointed though, the boy came to ask for the bill, which Kizan would of course still not hesitate to give him.



An odd question was asked though concerning the food that he had given him for free, it seemed that he wasn’t quite too happy about it, Kizan couldn’t understand, in what world did this boy life where he complained about one giving another a free meal, in these parts men killed others so that they could live though the day with the scabs of food they were able to muster up, Kizan stared at the boy with a puzzled look before he decided to move to another customer who had just made his entrance , he stepped up to the black-haired newcomer “hey there, what can I do you? ”

Kaihei stared forward blankly for a while, when the other chose to walk off to another customer rather than answering his inquiry. If anything, he expected at least some sort of response, so this sudden change of pace was a bit surprising. He stayed still for a bit, looking over the way the waiter boy went, his gaze following to see him talking to a black haired guy. Not that he gave a damn as to who that was. It did irritate him however, that he got no answer for his question. But obviously, there wasn’t much he could do, while the other was gathering orders from a customer.

Well, it was true that he didn’t have anything particular to do, and since he disliked being ignored, even if somewhat, he wasn’t going to let it go that easily. Which meant, that he would have to wait till the waiter boy came back. ‘What a drag...‘, he thought unamusedly, as he leaned against the counter with a sigh, intent on waiting it out. Hopefully it would be worth his time. Otherwise, he would be less than pleased.

Whats up, id like what that guy was eating if you don’t mind. “Kogami pointing at that the other customer that had some tacos. “Nacho cheese though, and some salt. A small shot if scotch, with some ice as well. And while you’re at it, an extra tip for some rumors around the neighborhood if you know any? Think you can handle that?” Kogami said this casually, the night life was defnately his playground, and he knew that tips were essential to waiters. It’s really how you talk to them, it’s not like they get paid enough anyway.
