ATA-How it Happened
It was 2017. The Moon suddenly left it's orbit, and the Earth was a dark cold place. Millions caught disease from the cold and darkness, many became crazy and committed suicide, and many were killed by other things. Shadows. Shadows were wiped out when the Moon first appeared, after a meteor struck Earth. The gravitational pull of the moon kept them away. Though, as the moon suddenly disappeared from the orbit, the shadows once again appeared, and killed off most of the disease survivors. Now, only about 8,000 people live in the world, and there is a popular group of rebel survivors in New York City. These survivors are the closest in the world to the Shadow Fortress, and are the only ones that can save the human race from becoming completely extinct.

Out front.
"Hmph."
Shadow dust blew into smoke. Ari was wielding his cleaver, deciding to train with that. His sickles were inside, hanging from the ceiling. Surprised to see shadows on Ceres Lane, Ari decided to go for it, sending a rabbit running to distract the Nightcrawlers. He took them out while their backs were turned, and killed the rabbit as an added bonus. The rabbit would be a good meal for later on. Ari huffed, thinking about how he has changed since the apocalypse. He was alone.

Reuben walked out into the open. He saw a shadow blow into smoke and Ari. He walked back at the sight of the hypnotic boy. He didn't stand a chance if he could take over his mind. But then he stopped. Shadows on Ceres Lane?

Ari frowned, spotting Reuben. "Shit.." he breathed. It was the kid he hypnotised. Casually, he walked inside.
Re: Out front.
He looked towards Ari's house. He didn't exactly want a fight. He made a mental note of the house inside of his head.

Ari took off his hoodie, placing it behind the door. His whole arm was bandaged. He hoped Reuben wouldn't recognise him without the hoodie.
Re: Out front.
He walked towards the house, sword in hand. Maybe he could reason with Ari.

Ari silently got to work, laying down magnetic powder he had found in the basement, inside the dirt walls. He laid it down with super glue, another thing lying around the house, so anything metal in front of the door would stick to the ground, and stay there. Ari flipped his cleaver in his hand, ready for his plan to unfold.
OOC:Btw. Swords are metal. Kthnxbai. ouo

OOC: Seriously?! XP Loljk
IC: Reuben walked up when he fought to keep the sword in his hand. It landed in the dirt. He quickly stooped down and gripped it but couldn't pull it off (O_O). "The fuck?!"

Ari grabbed Reuben by the neck and pulled him out of the magnetic area, cleaver at his neck. "Sorry, buddy. You can't barge into my house like that." he muttered.
Re: Out front.
"I didn't come to fight you." he said darkly. He wondered if Baby would be able to get on Ceres Lane as well.

"Then what are you here for?" Ari asked, still holding the knife to his neck. He wasn't about to trust another person so easily. Not after Chelsea.
Re: Out front.
"I was going to try to get you to join the Rebels." he said. He reached in his pocket and grabbed the form of a whistle but dropped it. That wouldn't be good for him.

"The...rebels?" Ari repeated. "You mean you guys that are cooped up in that supermarket? No thanks." he sighed.
Re: Out front.
Chelsea was walking along the street like she always did. She noticed Ari's house, then noticed Reuben's sword on the ground. "What is going on in there?" She asked herself.

"We have shelter, food, and we don't have to worry about attacks." he reasoned. "Plus you'll be able to heal properly." he said, looking at his bandages.

"My arm is fine." he muttered. "And it would have been better if one of your friends didn't shoot it with an arrow."
Re: Out front.
Chelsea walked up to the window. She watched their conversation silently. I said I was sorry... she thought as she heard the last part.

Re: Out front.
He gave him a confused look. "Well... we're not supposed to shoot other humans unless it's self-defense. Who did that?"

"Chelsea. She went on a rampage. After that, she claimed to be half shadow." he muttered.
Re: Out front.
He nodded. "She is. I was there when she transformed."

Ari shook his head. "It is just...too unbelievable. I can't be around people like that." he explained.
Re: Out front.
"The shadows have strange things. They have even brought some of us back from the dead." he choked out. He automatically thought of Amethyst killing Skylar.

"Exactly. So why should I leave near one that is half shadow herself." he murmured. "Now. I am going to slowly lead you to the exit, and you'll leave. I'll throw your sword out after you are outside."
Re: Out front.
"She and Loki are different. If I were you, I'd live in the safety of a shadow-free place than live alienated." he muttered. "But if you insist."
