A brand new group is on the making, The Apostles, a Pillar-like group led by none other than our brand new headmaster, Gregoire Girard. A student body that would lead students and enforce the law on this little school of ours. Little is still known about this student body, but who knows? It might just be what the school needs.

A lunch box is seen last Friday, around 12:37:08pm with an encouraging note packed inside. This appalling display that utterly lacked manliness has left many students stunned and outrage, as some decided, after a long while, to speak out against it.
Full Story Here.

"The name's Mike--- I mean, uh... Damn it, Macht. Marko Starke, here, with RIOT."
Mikey walked slowly into the area, led by his older brother who the majority of the people here today should know. He wore a grin on his face as he considered all the likely outcomes of seeing their "beloved" School Captain with one of the men responsible for so many deaths and attacks on the school, and rather than feel any sort of fear, he felt glee. They could weed out the weak, and use the strong against Orochi.
"If we're talking territory, I think you should all know RIOT has everything claimed."
After the comment he knew most would be angered by, the redhead laughed and leaned against a nearby wall, awaiting the backlash.

"Macht Starke, Dragons. Equilibrium. Apex Warriors. And that asshole's with me," Macht would state simply, reaching out to pull Mikey backward by the collar after his territory remark. "Shut the hell up, kid."
Macht would stretch a little as he observed the crowd and listened in on what little he could pick up after his late entrance. They were talking territory, a cease-fire... what else? He could get caught up later, of course, so he'd state his current opinion very simply.
"A cease-fire between all present gangs includes RIOT now. And I'm for it."

Post by Allen Hollows on Sept 18, 2015 12:23:22 GMT -5
Allen sat silent through everything, pride swelling in his chest at Shugo, before being dampened by Mikey and Macht. He could stand up and lash out, like some probably expected. Perhaps an impassioned speech? How would that go...?
Allen stood, looking around at the others. He ignored Mikey and Macht for now, but looked around at everyone present, taking a deep breath.
"Look at yourselves. Look at everyone who came to talk about the problems we face. Riot, Orochi, and those that side with them would have you believe we are weak....that we couldn't stand up to them yet we intend to stand up to a group that some say is far stronger even than Riot. Yet, half of these faces I haven't even seen trying to fight them. Maybe that's because I was gone for so long...maybe that's because I haven't had to deal with everything you guys have. That could be."
He would put a hand on Shugo's shoulder.
"My teacher is right, in my opinion. But...what is my opinion worth? I have been told I let my emotion rule what needs to be done. I let what has happened to my family drive my anger and fear toward Riot, to the point of being unwilling to make the tough decisions. The only point they are right about, I think, is that I am afraid. I am afraid my brother will be murdered, like my mother was. I'm afraid my sister will be taken and used as a toy, like has already happened once before. I'm afraid that everyone I care about at the school and outside of it will be killed. I am afraid. But...that fear drives desire and passion. To show my friends and family that I am willing to stand up and fight back against people who are cruel, evil, mean little men. That I will not be treated as a pawn, to be a body to pit between Riot and this group they fear. That I will not give up and go back home and hide in fear or join with a group of thugs simply for the hope of defeating them later. My honor, my morals, my pride are important...but more important is showing those I care about that the good in this city, this school...hell, in this very circle is there. And worth standing with and fighting for."
He turned to Mikey and Macht.
"I know that, perhaps, you two are friends or comrades...and that you, Macht, might truly believe it's necessary. I don't think you are a bad person for this, I just think you are misguided. Deceived into believing a lie simply because you are afraid it might be true. Afraid you can't weather the next storm. And the next. And the next...alone. I understand that fear. I hope, someday, you are rid of it, and able to be a beacon again. I know how strong you are...you could really help, by just...letting that strength shine."
He turned back to the group.
"I am afraid- but through fear, courage is born. I can't stand by while a single group that has done nothing but kill and harm the people I want to protect tricks my friends and the powerful fighters of my school- a school THEY obviously fear- into their own destruction under the guise of an alliance. I don't blame those of you who do join them- the fear you feel at what is to come is very real, I know. Pretending fear isn't what drives it- that it just "makes sense" and is "what needs to be done" is your own way of twisting what you feel. We have all done it...I don't think you are bad people for doing it either. I just hope you can step back, and try to see how strong we really could be, if given the chance to band together. If given the chance to stand as one force...this is why Riot wants us to fight for them. This is why they have been trying to break our backs for so long. They don't want to risk 552 and the people of this city joining together under a single banner. For them...it would be catastrophic. If you could just...see that...it would change everything."
He scratched the back of his head.
"Anyway...I'm done talking. Feel free to attack me now, if some of you feel the need. Attack my words or tell the others why you think I'm doing what I am doing. I'm not going to get back about it. But...I just hope you don't let it sway you. Don't let what the others fear drive you into Riots hands, or Orochis....do what you think is right. That's all."
Allen sat silent. Then, he gave a little smile. What a pretty little parley that would be. But his eyes looked to the masked one from Hyperion, then to Mikey and Macht. They...would never be swayed by those words, even if they were spoken from the heart. They didn't care. Hyperion clearly had an in with Riot, someone that could make an alliance happen. And Mikey was there....so that was obviously Macht's in. Allen wasn't as well known and respected as them...he doubted his words would matter. Not only that, but Hyperions fellow clearly felt that Allen was a moron, and he knew that trying to speak from the heart, even if it was the truth as he saw it...would not only piss this person off, it would lead them to perpetually trash him once again. And that talk just made them look foolish, in a very strong way.
So he stayed silent and would hope that the character of those present would shine through, just as strongly.

Yumi told the group over the blu tooth that Macht and Mikey showed up. Leon pondered this for a minute and finally would have Yumi speak for him.
"Leon would like everyone to put in their opinions on RIOT, Orochi, and this unknown FEAR variable. To see if we reach an agreement. RIOT and Hyperion suggest some form of alliance or cease fire. LG recognizes Aura and the Pillars to agree to a cease fire, and LG will recognize the neutral party as if they were the speaker for the general public of Five-Five Two, since the school is the epicenter for most of the conflicts as well as where most of the innocent casualties take place."
Yumi would then look to the masked robot voice person.
"Hyperion is recognized for bringing up the alliance opportunity, so Hyperion shall open negotiations."

Zoe would completely ignore Shugo's speech except for the last bit where he was all for the ceasefire. After all, he did big old friendship speeches nearly every time she saw him. When the others spoke and more arrived, Zoe simply kept silent as she awaited for her turn to speak again. As Mikey walked in, Zoe tilted her head towards him before glancing back to the others. Finally, when Hyperion was recognized, she pulled out a small smooth box from her pocket.
As she placed it on the table, a small slot would open and a light would shine out from the box. Then, a cone of light would appear from the top before becoming a small holographic sphere. Heelllll yeah Hyperion had the tech. At first, it moved to the shape of a kitten playing with a ball of yarn. It was adorable and hyper realistic. ”Mikey, Kaiser told me to show you this video if I saw you,” she spoke plainly. Her robotic voice would turn off. While her voice was now muffled enough that they wouldn't be able to match it to Zoe, but the voice was clearly that of a younger girl.
The hologram would move to show the image of black mist. She would begin to speak flatly. ”This is the black mist that descended upon New York. It causes paranoia, induces psychotic episodes and creates hallucinations based off a person's inner demons. There is also an unknown variable in which, if certain circumstances are met, it can possess individuals and allow them to create havoc. So far, the only name found to be associated with this is FEAR. Black Mist is one hundred percent tied to our school. Why? Because the black mist appeared first in 552's cafeteria and then secondly in the courtyard at a later date in smaller amounts. One of the areas where the black mist appeared during the major New York incident was the school as well. FEAR is clearly targeting 552.”
She'd look to those around and wait for a moment before continuing. ”Orochi appearing so suddenly from another country around the same time as this black mist seems to be too perfectly timed. I propose that Orochi and FEAR may be connected somehow- whether Orochi realizes this or not. As such, due to the power of both FEAR and Orochi, if all the gangs present here do not recognize a ceasefire, the ensuing battles between the gangs while also dealing with these outside forces will only result in FEAR overpowering us due to casualties taken during our conflict. FEAR is the greatest unknown factor with the greatest potentional to destroy us all. They should be our priority.”
”This ceasefire would only last until one week after Orochi's defeat to ensure they were truly defeated firstly. The ceasefire would not allow for private information to be exchanged between gangs should they not wish to. This is simply an agreement to not try to kill each other until Orochi is out of the way.”

Post by Damien 'Mayhem' Caine on Sept 18, 2015 18:07:12 GMT -5
Mayhem listening into those at the meeting would scratch his chin, and sip at his drink. It seemed as if the groups present saw cross purpose in many ways. Mayhem would actually laugh aloud when Shugo spoke up, and then do so even more when he heard Harley's come back, saying that Shugo words were untrue. It was a fair point, Wonderland was not 552 in the slightest, yes it had members that attended the school but that was all. That fact also rang true with the players. Well not exactly, yes Mayhem had some sort of design on the school, and played his games with it but not in the same way as Riot did. Mayhem laugher though would stop when Riot arrived.
"Put me on speaker Hearts." Mayhem would order, and the girl would sigh and do as he said. However before he could speak more people spoke up in response to riot, as well as pushing for the alliance even more so. He couldn't have that. Mayhem voice would come out from a button on Hearts top, but was twisted and distorted by a voice changer. Harley of wonderland would be able to recognise it was him, as he was using the same voice changer that he used for his business in the other group.
"Are you all fool? I am Mephistopheles, leader of group known as the players. I'm sure that you have come across my vassals. An alliance with Riot, is not something I will agree to. You would crush this Orochi and fear with there help, and leave them easily the strongest force around. They would crush you, destroy you and you would be too weak or unprepared due to having them as allies. That is not something I desire, my game with your school would be spoiled if Riot claimed a true hold in it halls.
However my games with your school are tests, I mean no true harm but to push you to better yourselves and be stronger. I desire to recruit from your halls and then move on, anyone who does not feel an alliance with killers and the like is for them, they are welcome to ally with me. Be it to stay uninvolved as you always do and for protection.
Do not compromise yourselves to one evil to fight others, fight with all you have, as the boy speaking out against Riot over there said in a way."
Mayhem would finish his last words meaning Allen, the seeds planted. The idea was too fold, get people to aim an alliance his way instead of joining with riot, or to just not agree to the alliance at all. The player could exploit the aftermath, and so could wonderland if it was played correctly. Mayhem just hoped that Harley understood his intentions, and the fact they could not allow this alliance to go through.
"In fact I will tip part of my hand. A certain bus ride in fact. One of the student on board knew about it, and also knew that my man HUDSON had direct control over the situation and would not have let your student come to harm. What is the point of a test that kills you, it what doesn't kill you that makes you stronger.
On a last note though, on the point of identities and territories. I will not reveal mine, nor will other of my members, also while Riot lays claim to all, there would find a fight on their hands if they aimed themselves at me."

"Calm down Mephi-Hercules." Sarah said as she gestured toward Mikey and Macht, "To be fair they didn't say an alliance, they said a cease fire. I don't want to go allying with Riot either but a free pass to not have them attacking us while we focus our efforts without them is just fine by me."
Sarah leaned down to talk directly to Sirynn, though not quietly just so that Sirynn knew she was speaking to her, "I don't trust Macht or Mikey. They have me worried about anyone with an M name to be honest. But... a personal assurance that there would be no attack from Riot while dealing with Orochi is fine, I just don't wanna go fighting with them. You speak on our behalf though so its your vote and your say."

Notes ---

“No shit, sherlock,” Vivi muttered under her breath in response to Shugo saying, he ‘did plenty of stuff he didn’t need to.’ She shifted her weight to one hip, her indigo eyes flicking from one person to the next. It seemed Valo had sent a few representatives for his gang instead of showing up himself. His voice came forth from some kind of device on the woman who went by ‘Electrickery.’ As each of them spoke, the masked woman and Valo, she found herself nodding silently.
While the masked one was brash and maybe came across as a bit abrasive to some, Vivi couldn't help but agree with what she was saying. And then when it came to Valo, though not many may have known it, the girl had almost a blind faith in him. If he thought one path was the right way to go she would more than likely follow him down it. She didn’t consider that with faith like that in a human being, she could one day be led straight to hell.
The girl’s brow furrowed when Shugo began to speak. He sounded like a protagonist from an animated kid’s movie or some shit. Like everything was all black and white, they were all just friends who needed to get along. So the two Pillar’s wills clashed, and Vivi gave him an odd look. What it meant was up to anyone who was watching to try and make sense of.
Then Macht and Mikey appeared, and a pit formed in her stomach, though she didn’t show any reaction at first. Her eyes were flat as she watched the two red heads enter. She felt her pulse quicken however when Mikey introduced himself as “Marko Starke.” Explained the uncanny resemblance. But shit… they were brothers? Vivi let face palmed at Mikey’s next statement about claiming everything and let out an exasperated sigh. Do not react. He was probably fishing for reactions… right? Then Macht gave his two cents, and Allen talked and talked and talked…
Vivi spaced out about a quarter into his speech and started picking at her knuckle gloves. The others, she did her best to listen to, and found Electrickery’s pieces interesting to listen to, especially with the hologram thing. She found herself nodding along with the girl a bit as she spoke again. After the others had spoken, the violet haired girl capitalized on a short moment of silence to say where she stood on the matter.
“Vivi Perish, Third Pillar,” she piped up for a moment, “I’m for the cease-fire, and I’m for it including RIOT.”
The long rants really weren’t getting to her… she just didn’t have that kind of attention span.

Though this might just be the ending Of the life I held so dear But I won't run, There's no turning back from here
Bianca listened to everyone, remaining silent while they all spoke. Normally always speaking her mind without a care, even she realized how serious this situation was if Riot was once more under scrutinization from everyone. She wanted to shout and scream at everyone, desperate to defend them to her last breath. But even she had her worries about their recent actions. She understood why, but until she faced Orochi herself... she had to wonder if they were even that big a deal. But they made her brother scared, and he was never scared. "Sirynn... my brother..." She would speak, but then stop, leaving it at that. She didn't want to bring conflict to the BBBB or to Sirynn and get her in a tug of war over what she should do or decide. She respected Sirynn more than anyone else, the only person to ever earn that respect from her. She would trust in her decision, knowing that their leader always followed her heart and did what she felt was the right thing.

"[You sure this is a good idea, brother?]""Ha. [They won't touch you, Takeru. Go on. If you need me, just call.]""[As if I'd need you, jackass.]"Laughing, Takeru would step out from his car and head toward the location of this gang summit, one he found out about due to nabbing a couple of RIOT's men while out on a run. The goal here was to see just who there was, who was represented, their goals, and the threat they all posed to Orochi. As Takeru would be approached and asked for his name and the gang he represented, he'd simply brush past and head into the area. All he'd caught was some tough talk about territory grabs, and a cease-fire. "Oh, what we got here? Territory grabs? How 'bout everything for Orochi?"

No stake in 552..? Not affiliated with it..."...Leon we have a serious problem. If she's not part of 552... How far did word of your summit travel?" The blue haired boy stood up with a solemn expression on his face. He was unarmed, unlike everyone else. But that didn't matter. "I'm going to go patrol the area, but we should wrap this up quickly befo-" And then Macht... Him and Mikey came in... Marko Starke... So that means... That explains why he was siding with Riot. Dammit... The boy cursed himself for not picking up on this earlier. The blue haired boy didn't want a ceasefire with Riot... Them and Orochi were two sides of the same coin to him. But that didn't matter... Not right now. He wouldn't destroy Riot it seemed... but he wouldn't protect them either. And then... Another one came in. The blue haired boy would turn towards the man claiming to be from Orochi. The First Pillar would tap an app like button on his phone discretely as he placed it on the table in front of him along with the bluetooth headset. He didn't quite know what this man and group's goals were... He hadn't faced Orochi himself yet. He didn't know why they were scared. Nor did he care. The boy would take heavy, powerful steps forward towards the man who claimed he was from Orochi. Upon reaching him, Shugo would hold his right hand out. "Shugo Yuy. First Pillar of 552. I don't believe we've met. But unfortunately, I don't believe you're quite welcome here either." The boy's eyes narrowed. He wasn't going to attack, but his words did come out very much like a threat. His tone showed no hostility, but rather disdain. "Especially after you attacked my school and fellow students. I'd like to ask you to leave." @ tag # # # notes MADE BY VEL OF GS

Post by Adrian "Valo" Morei on Sept 22, 2015 14:11:32 GMT -5
i can't save me from myself Valo saw both Starkes walk in, and it more or less confirmed the very obvious feeling he got when he saw Mikey. Marko Starke, huh... It explained Macht's reasoning for siding with Riot, or at least, it's how it looked on the surface. But he knew Macht was a really logical man, and that he must have had deeper reasons for doing what he did. Regardless, he felt like Hyperion could find an ally in Macht at least, which would be a huge boon.
But then a member of Orochi showed up, and Valo felt his heart stop for a moment. Looking through the camera that Zoe had in place, he saw a man he didn't recognize, which made him a high threat instantaneously. He knew of three of Orochi's members, and he was not one of them. This meant he likely had some insane power that he couldn't prepare himself or his group for.
"Kgosi... Eletrickery... Keep your guard up, and whatever happens, do NOT engage." He spoke into their comms that only they could hear. "Stay where you are for now, but be prepared for exfil. I'm heading your way. If things go south, head for extraction point B immediately."
He was extremely worried. Of course Orochi would show up. And if they were as smart as the majority of the gangs present, this guy wasn't their head honcho.
Suiting up, Valo would prepare one of the helicopters. He wasn't going to go into the summit directly, but rather into the tunnels and remain hidden, keeping watch on everything from a device he had connected to Zoe's camera and mic. He would remain a safe distance away unless a fight broke out, to which he'd fight to get Hyperion and those he cared about out of there.
Damn it, Shugo... don't be a damn hero again. ulla

At the mention of Orochi, he would stand and immediately grab his coat. He didn't say anything, headed for the door and turning back as he walked.
"You two stay here. I'm going to help Allen."
Aaron wouldn't wait, promptly hopping in his car and flooring it. He would arrive just after Valo, who apparently had the same idea as him. Aaron moved into the tunnels, not wanting the summit to be interrupted by his arrival. He would come through the tunnel and up behind Valo, touching him on the shoulder and passing him to move a little closer to the entrance.
'Allen....get yourself out of there if you need to....'

Bee had already gone tense and white with the arrival of Riot. Things seemed to escalate from there as Orochi arrived and Aaron got up.
Frozen a moment, Bee got a late start in following and darted smack-dab into the door. Bolting outside after a momentary scramble - screw that she was going with! - she rushed to the vehicle only to find it locked and Aaron took off!
Feeling everything inside her crumple, the brunette stared, wide eyed with eyes stinging, as the roar of the engine dissipated.
What...
...Aaron...
...Allen...
...come back.
She watched for several minutes before trudging back inside, hardly able to see. She was guided back to sit and a cold glass of Dr. Pepper was set in front of her.
Good thing. If the LG member tried to put it in her hands, Leon's carpet would be full of the fizzy drink and ice cubes would be dotting the expanse. She felt like she was having a meltdown inside...but the dam hadn't burst on the outside.
Yet.

Knuckles had been running late, too late. But then again, he wasn't sure exactly how he felt about this cease-fire in the first place. He wanted the whole damn cake, not to nibble on crumbs. But he hadn't come with the intentions of seeking trouble. He was trying to gain intel.
His late arrival had also been a quiet one. He had snuck in though the tunnel systems, but had gotten himself lost for a few minutes, hence the tardiness. However when he approached the meeting, he would not pull himself from the shadows. Instead he would glance about at both familiar and unfamiliar faces.
Shugo.. Macht.. Fuckin' Mikey right next to him, what the hell is that shit about, Ill grill him later- Leon.. That one armed chick.. This is a god damn pow-wow.
Those hazel eyes would soon see someone new arrive, a japanese fellow whom he had no clue who he was. But apparently he belonged to that Orochi gang he had heard whispers of. At this point, he wasn't sure if there would be violence or not. For now, he would continue to watch and listen in silence from the shadows.
