No one ever leaves the Nightingale institute.
Unless their dead, of course. Oh, or if they’re Maggie and Pandora. Those two managed to slip out in an orchestrated bloodbath. They’ll try and get them back, there just undecided on if they should kill them or reintroduce them to the program.
The Nightingale Institute started many years ago. Originally it was just a small experiment here or there, nothing major. Then began the kidnappings of both humans and supernatural. Then the killings. They were taking supernatural beings and extracting any strand of DNA they could from them, studying the mutations. They combined them, and gave them to human subjects, altering them into hybrid concoctions that didn’t always work. Some snap, some are too lethal. They are eliminated quite fast along with the supernatural beings that are useless once they’ve gotten the DNA they wanted from them. As the years have gone by, the number of stolen supernatural beings has increased and gained attention within the supernatural community.

As much as she always dreamed of being outside again (being locked in a lab building for 13 years would do that to a person), she hadn’t realized just how much she wouldn’t be cut out for it. Her body wasn’t adapted to the outside like it had been as a free child. Her skin, although carrying an ever present tan colour thanks to her ancestry, was still an unnaturally pale, having not seen sunlight for awhile. The three nights her and Pandora had spent outside had given her some healthy colour back, but she was certain it would take longer for it to appear normal. Or maybe being pale was a vampire side effect. She’d rather not think of that. Ugh, even her eyes could barley stay open as soon as she saw sunlight. She was sure she was going to get captured simply for the fact she was stumbling blind for a few hours as her eyes tried there hardest to adjust.
She wanted to be back indoors. Surprisingly, wilderness floors weren’t as comfy the crappy cot she’d slept on most of her life.
As Pandora and Maggie continued their trek in the woods, covering their tracks, Maggie was surprised when they accidentally stumbled upon a clearing space. And in the middle of that clearing? A house.
Instinctively placing her hand on her one and only friend’s wrist, she looked at the curly haired girl and said, “Pandora, look, there’s a cabin.” Dropping her hand, her brown eyes wandered to the wooden house as she stated frankly, “come on, let’s crash here for the night.” The lights were out, and from what she could see, no vehicle was within the immediate vicinity. Didn’t look like anyone was home.
Maggie’s hope instantly crashed when she heard Maggie state, “No, someone lives there. Let’s just find a cave or something. I’ll make the fire.” As much as she loved Pandora, sometime she had to play the tough love card. “I’m not sleeping outside again,” Maggie retorted, “you can sleep in a cave, but I’m breaking in.” That was a lie, of course. She would never just leave Pandora, but she hoped it would sway her decision.
“Please, the owner is going to be pissed,” Pandora pleaded. “What if they have an axe or shotgun? Come on, a cave won’t be that bad.” No, a cave would be that bad. She’d rather test the labs 'Magnolia may be immortal' theory against an angry homeowner than use a rock as a pillow again. “We just escaped that hellhole, and you’re worried about someone having a shotgun?” Maggie questioned. “They probably have a shower,” she coaxed, trying to barter now. “And food. When was the last time we even had any good food?”
Pandora stayed silent for a moment, and Maggie felt hope rising in her chest thinking she was going to cave in. She was wrong. “We shouldn’t steal food. I can get us some fish. I hear some nearby.” Maggie rubbed her eyes slightly in frustration. Bless Pandora’s moral heart. “Fish. Seriously? Isn’t that cannibalism for you?” Please, Pandora. We’re both tired, and this is a safe place.” Well, no place was safe, but it might as well be comfy. Pausing for a second, Maggie looked her friend square in the eyes and pleaded, “Please.” Pandora let all of Maggie’s hopes disappear when she started to turn away, saying “Fish have protein and fish eat fish all the time. Please, let’s just go get some fish.”
As if on instinct, Maggie started moving towards the house without thinking. When she stepped on the porch, she bent down and ripped off her crappy scrubs left pant leg up to her knee, wrapping the soil and grass stained fabric around her wrist. In a split second, her fist went through the small glass panel on the front door. Feeling around the the lock on the other side, she found it and flicked it open, and retreated her hand to open the door wide. Feeling a sting on her hand from where the glass and ripped through the fabric and through her flesh, she ignored it as she called over to Pandora, “Doors open. Might as well just walk right in.” Without seeing if Panda would follow her, Maggie slipped right through into the cabin. She prayed they had a shower.
Pandora’s voice carried through the space. “It is a really cute place, we have to clean up the glass… but first,” and as if on cute, she squeaked, “Dibs on the shower! I’ll be quick!” Maggie stared astonished at the girl. Pff, moral heart, her ass. Turning to walk into the kitchen area, she dropped the slightly bloody fabric onto the kitchen counter and ran her hand under the cold water. She’d need to find something to take the small glass pieces out.
Removing her hand from under the stream of water, she let her eyes wander around the space. As if luck was finally being swayed in her favour, she spotted a bowl of fruit on the counter. And right on top? A peach. Grinning, she grabbed it, and started munching away.
Happily, she walked back out to the kitchen. She smiled at Maggie. Though, her eyes quickly went to the slightly bloody fabric on the counter. Pandora walked over to Maggie, who was munching away on a peach, and looked her up and down. “Where are you hurt? Did you hurt yourself when you opened the door?” she asked before noticing Maggie’s hand.
“Wait here,” she added. She disappeared again to rummage around the cabin.
Once Pandora found a first aid kit, she quickly returned to Maggie. She smiled at Maggie as she opened the kit and placed it on the counter. Pandora held her hand out to Maggie. “Let’s see your hand, I’ll be as gentle as I can. Also, if you let me give you a little shock, I can make it painless,” she said. She picked up a pair of tweezers with one hand. With her other hand, she had small sparks of white electricity moved through her fingers.
“I promise the shock won’t hurt too much, but let’s fix you up before the owner comes home to shoot or ax us down,” she said, a soft bubbly laugh escaping her lips.

Still eating the peach with the fruit in her other hand, she absentmindedly watched Pandora pick little piece of glass from her hand one by one. She was so distracted she almost didn't notice the voice that came from the entry to the kitchen area. Dropping the peach to the floor, she yanked her hand away and stepped in front of Pandora defensively, eyeing the blonde girl who no doubt was the owner of the house.
Man, she was never gunna hear the end of this one.
Still giving a sharp look at the girl, she wiped her hand on her scrub top to stop the blood from dripping on the floor. Quirking her eyebrow, she shot a look behind her to Pandora and asked, "so this wasn't your grandma's house after all?" As much as she didn't have a problem admitting to breaking into a house, especially since it was clear she had, Maggie really had no interest in explaining any of the situation to the girl before hand. Her tone was clearly sarcastic, so it wasn't really a lie. Turning to look back at the blonde, she shrugged her shoulders saying an unapologetic, "sorry about that."
Grabbing Pandora's hand in hers, she dragged her friend behind her and passed the blonde. Stepping over the broken glass, she whisked out the door, feeling partially sorry for her friend just wrapped in the towel. Not like they had much choice anyways. Panda definitely didn't have time to change before the blonde inevitably called the cops. Hopping off the porch, her brown eyes spotted the car in the driveway. She'd never driven one, but had no doubt she could hot-wire one. It would be faster than going on foot. Turning over to look at Pandora, she said, "I think I can break into the car." She just hoped she could be fast enough and the blonde wouldn't be dumb enough to follow them directly outside right away.
She took out the last piece of glass when Maggie pulled her hand away. Confusion filled her eyes and she looked up. The confusion was replaced by surprise. There was a blonde standing there. A smile formed on Pandora’s lip as she looked at the girl. She looked away from the girl when Maggie looked back at her. She just smiled at Maggie. It was a bit difficult for her to not looked shocked at Maggie’s words. Why is Maggie trying to lie her way out of this? The truth is always best. She is being sarcastic as well. This blonde may just shoot us, but I don’t see a gun on her…or ax, yet.
If Pandora was an outsider looking in on the situation, she would have found it comical. Pandora glanced at the blonde as she was dragged out of the house. She kind of forgot she was wearing a towel. While being dragged, her left foot stepped onto the glass on the floor. This is when she remembered she just had a towel on. Pandora ignored the pain. She pulled her hand away when Maggie spoke again.
“We are not breaking into the car. We just need to be honest with her. Everything will be okay,” she said. Her tone was sweet, but firm. She headed back to the blonde. She left bloody footsteps in her track. Pandora hadn’t notice she was bleeding yet. Pandora found it easy to ignore the pain. In a matter of seconds, Pandora was in front of the blonde again.
“Hello, my name is Pandora,” she paused to hold her hand out for a handshake, “I am sorry we broke into your house. We are being chased, and we were desperate. We kind of been stuck in these woods for three days. It was all my idea, so you can just call the cops on me if you plan to call them. I’ll help you clean up before they come though.”
Pandora tucked a few strands of her hair behind her right ear. Her hair dripped water onto her skin. She readjusted the towel as she smiled at the girl. Pandora couldn’t help, but glance in Maggie’s direction. She hoped she wasn’t breaking into the car. Panda was a bit nervous as well, so white sparks came off her fingertips. We are going to go to jail. The scientist are going to find us…probably going to kill us for escaping. As her thoughts ate away at her, she just smiled at the blonde.

Finally, he came near the cabin. He turned off the bike a bit off into the distant. He didn’t want to be noticed right away. Ivan took his helmet off. He slipped his keys and phone into his pocket. He walked over to the other side of the sidecar. Love was still asleep. He glanced at his duffel bag at the foot of the side car. As he took the helmet off Love, she woke up. The puppy yawned and stretched before she stood up excitingly. Ivan quickly put a finger to his lips to keep Love quiet. A small smile graced his lips as the puppy’s tail wagged like crazy.
The puppy was in the lab, and Ivan had no idea why. Though, he refused to have it tested on. It was what made him decide to leave the lab and help the girls out. Working at the lab was rough on him. He wasn't the nicest person when you got to know him, but he didn't like death, especially if it was caused by a human. Also, he cared for animals more than humans or creatures like them. He could care less about humans or creatures like them. It may have been as his parents never really showed him love. In Sweden, a stray cat showed him more love than his parents. It would come to his house daily. It may have just come for food, but Ivan didn’t care. It purred and loved being petted by him. Ivan picked up Love and slowly walked towards the cabin.
When he got closer, he saw Magnolia near some car. He rolled his eyes. Ivan rather have run into Pandora first. The girl was way too nice. It was going to fuck her over one day. He ignored the licks Love gave him. Ivan named the puppy Love because her nose looked like a heart. His gaze slowly went to meet Magnolia's. "I come in peace. You and Pandora have tracking devices. I decided to come and take them out for you two," he said. He kept his distant from the girl. Ivan did not want her near him thanks to the vampire blood in her veins. Slowly he looked around for Pandora.

Collectibles
By creating Collectibles, you can reward your players with unique items that accentuate their character sheets.
Once an Item has been created, it can be spawned in the IC using /spawn Item Name
(case-sensitive, as usual) — this can be followed with /take Item Name
to retrieve the item into the current character's inventory.
Mobs
Give your Universe life by adding a Mob, which are auto-replenishing NPCs your players can interact with. Useful for some quick hack-and-slash fun!
Mobs can be automated spawns, like rats and bats, or full-on NPCs complete with conversation menus. Use them to enhance your player experience!
