Thread: Chaos and Discord (Niah & rskde)

The streets of any modern day metropolitan city aren't exactly known for their peaceful and serene atmosphere. However compare the state of this city now, to what it was a few of weeks ago and you'll soon realize that things weren't so bad before. Now the streets were home to lawlessness and chaos, as an unknown force was tearing through the city. The authorities had several theories drugs, gangs, terrorists, some even theorized that an outbreak of some sort of new virus could be to blame. Whatever the source, it was clear that every day people were no longer themselves. They began turning on each other like a pack of animals, until eventually the national guard was finally brought in to contain the mess. Try as they might, they were missing one key ingredient needed for success... a very shiny apple. At first glance one particular dank and narrow alley, positioned in the heart of the city, may have seemed empty and void of life. That's because it was, at first, then after a moment a woman seemed to appear from nowhere. Her extensive dark locks flowed in the wind gracefully, as the loose curls cascaded down past her shoulders. She was dressed all in black a Venetian tunic which hung off the shoulders and skinny jeans tucked into flat soled boots. Her caramel skin caught the moonlight, as did her strange eyes, which were an unnatural colour of gold. Her petite frame gave the illusion of weakness, which was to be this man's biggest downfall. As he walked past the alley, the attractive woman caught his eye and so he approached. You lost beautiful? He asked in a repulsive manner. She looked to the male as if he was nothing more than an annoying bug, buzzing around her face and treated him as such. She simply began walking past him, intending to leave. Hey! I'm talking to you! Foolishly, he grabbed the woman by her arm and attempted to assault her. What happened next he had surely not been expecting. Taking him by the throat, the woman slammed the male against the wall and began tightening, she was deceivingly strong. I'm going to need you to apologize, before I crush your windpipe. Her eyes beginning to glow as she spoke to him. So this is what you're doing instead of searching for the apple, Eris? Choking mortals to death? Out of thin air, another woman suddenly appeared beside them. The man would have jumped with fright, if he wasn't already forced against the wall. What do you want Athena? I'm busy. Eris replied dryly, re-positioning her hand so that she was holding the man more by his jaw, allowing him to breathe. I can see that, and the apple? Athena probed, her blue eyes shining with the same intensity as her fellow Goddess'. I'm working on it! Eris' reaction was not too dissimilar to a teenager being ask to clean their room. When? Because by the looks of things, the mortals' exposure to it is already out of hand! At this Eris began to smile wickedly. I know, right? It's like Gotham City down here. She replied, clearly very amused. Athena simply stood stone faced in response. You really need to get a sense of humor. Eris added. And you need to focus! I remember what happened the first time you allowed this apple to cause destruction! This caused the dark haired female to scoff. I allowed it to happen? Funny, because as I remember that was a completely avoidable situation caused by you, Aphrodite and Hera being the biggest group of narcissists in the known universe. Athena's jaw began to clench. Just find the damned thing! Her eyes then darted to the human, who seemed confused by the entire conversation. And do it discreetly! Athena finished, before disappearing as swiftly as she had came. Once again the man was panicked and his wriggling underneath her hand began to annoy Eris. She sighed and tightened her grip once more. Please... The main gasped and strained. I'm sorry... He begged. The woman rolled her eyes and mused about her decision. It's your lucky day, because for once that whole 'God made me do it' bullshit defense, might actually be true. I'm sure you'll be an upstanding member of society again once I've retrieved my property. She let go and allowed him to drop harshly onto the floor. Until then, don't do anything I wouldn't do. She gave the man a wink and then disappeared just like Athena. She reappeared in a police station, or what used to be one at least. It was amazing how the presence of her apple quickly rendered the police useless. Sure some might be out on the streets trying to fight against the rising tide of madness. However she guessed that others would have also been hit with the apple's influence just like everyone else. Whatever the reason, the station was abandoned. With crime skyrocketing, there was simply not enough room in the holding cells here and so they were no longer in use. Plus they appeared to be heavily damaged, no doubt a riot had broken out not too long ago. Hello? I'm here to report a missing item! Don't all rush to help me at once! Eris called out sarcastically, her smile never wavering. Well she supposed it was time to get to work. With her powers weakened she could no longer sense her apple and thus was unable to locate it. So her best bet was to begin searching police records, maybe these mortals had stumbled across something in the past few weeks? She broke into a nearby filing cabinet and began searching.
