Introduction
The First Comers have been living in Glenshire in what seemed like five years, the have their own personal water supply they found, a self charging generator they recently acquired, first comers have more freedom in roleplaying because they can make uo their own stories about the place (except stories that reveal what is in the fog) and they live in an Rick's Mattress store. They First Comers are a group of people who were involved in some sort of train accident, all except Cur though. Cur had driven off a bridge but for some strange reason ended up in Glenshire the exact same time his fellow First Comers did. The First Comers hunt the animals that wander into Glenshire. They are against taking food from the store because they reappear for some strange reason daily. First Comers are also extremely afraid of stepping into the fog because the believe an evil entity lives inside of it.
If you choose to be a First Comer you have the choice of making the New Comers lives as miserable as possible or help the New Comers. If choose to be a First Comer you can only have one character throughout the entire roleplay.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 6 authors

When the fog entered the dingy office, it did not take long before Adrian passed out of it. Whether it was from the fog or his exhaustion, he did not know that night. When he opened his eyes he saw himself and everyone else dressed elegantly in modern setting bar. He found himself sitting at a table mysteriously nursing a bottle in his hand. "What the hell?" He said as he looked at the bottle in shock as he dropped the bottle and it rolled off the table. The bottle cracked on the floor with broken glass and its spilled contents spreading around. Adrian looked up at the bar and saw that the bartender looked familiar, it looked like Mark. It was Mark! The images changed before him and he saw people screaming and running. "No!" he shouted as he shook himself awake, sweat drenching around his face. Adrian took a minute to get his bearings before realizing he was still in the office with Rainie, he also noted that the distance between them had closed a tiny bit then before they passed out due to the fog. "What the hell?" He rubbed his face trying to comprehend the dream.
Elena
Elena had fell back, releasing her grip from Cur when the fog had finally descended upon the town. She noted of the images she saw tonight were of her dressed elegantly in a gown in a bar with modern like settings. She was mostly standing beside herself on one end of the bar where she saw the bus driver from earlier serving as a bartender and a drunk man hit Tommy. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Cur's face tort in rage upon Tommy being hit.
Upon waking she heard scratching upon the roof, Elena looked over and saw Cur drawing all across the roof. Her eyes traveled upon the first image and then the second image Cur drew. When her eyes saw the third, they widened, "Oh my god."

Upon opening her eyes, she blinked in utter shock. Why was she in a bar? And why on earth was she in a dress? Glaring down at the red gown, she ran her fingers over the offending material which was as smooth as silk. Yanking her head up, she scanned the bar in which she now sat. Everyone was there in fine clothing. Including Mark, who was behind the bar. Acting as a bartender? Something set Rainie on edge in that moment. But when a kid was hit over the head, he was first to jump to his defense. Gasping, Rainie jumped up to offer assistance, but suddenly the room was full of screams and fearful shouts. She whirled around, looking for the source of the commotion. In that instant, her vision shifted and images flashed through her mind, including a rather ugly and frightening looking Demon. In her dream, Rainie screamed.
Sitting bolt upright, she clasped her hands over her mouth to stop the scream from escaping. Her whole body was shaking from head to toe. Glancing at the form next to her, to make sure she hadn't woken him, she noticed that the gap between them had lessened overnight. Adrian was fitfully moving in his sleep and a frown crossed her face. Within seconds, he had woken with a shout.
"Bad dream?" Rainie asked, trying to keep her voice as steady as possible. She reached across and placed a hand to his forehead. "You are insanely hot." After she'd opened her mouth, she wished she hadn't. Withdrawing her hand, she had the grace to blush slightly.

"That's because you both passed out." It was a niggling thought in the back of her mind that she just couldn't shift. But what could have possibly made them pass out so suddenly? "We didn't drink anything. Not to my recollection anyway. It must be this room. Perhaps we should get back to the bus. Because I don't remember a thing." Rainie remembered being awake, but after that, nothing. Chewing her bottom lip, she placed the last blanket on the pile and turned to Adrian, just as he spoke. Listening, she frowned slightly and looked towards the door. He was right. She could hear footsteps and then a voice. Pressing a finger to her lips, she crept forwards and yanked the door open, just as someone pushed it from the other side. Almost falling over, she steadied herself, ready to face the oncoming attacker. But it was only Elizaveta and Danniella. Releasing a small sigh of relief, she arched an eyebrow.
"So you made it through the night too?" She asked, with half a smile. "Any reason for sneaking up on us and scaring us half to death?"

She presumed it was the fog! What on earth is going on in her head!? Ok, so if the fog could get inside the buildings, it possibly could have made them all pass out... Possibly, but she didn't know for sure. Danniella had been glaring at the floor for a moment or two while she thought without realising. She looked up at Rainie, beaming. "Just hello."
(OOC: She's not crazy, just forgetful.)

Rainie suppressed a smile when Adrian asked about Matt. She straightened up, suitcase and blankets in hand. When she passed Adrian, she reached across and gave his hand a brief squeeze and graced him with a bright smile. "Yes, how is Matthew? I suppose we should return to his wrath. After all, we camped outside of the bus. I'm sure he'll be pleased that I survived." Rolling her eyes, she headed for the door.

She spoke up to correct Rainie on the bus drivers name "Mark is okay." even with this small phrase her accent and quick speech would make the words almost unintelligible.
Elizaveta liked the drunk, he was respectful to her despite her being young and foreign, and seemed to be very trusting. Despite the face he was a bit of a drunk, Mark was not a bad guy, to the russian ballerina.

Adrian couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Rainie got the bus driver's name wrong, intentional or not. It was no surprise that it would probably be awhile before Mark and Rainie could get along and be civil to each other. He turned to Danniella and Elizaveta and shrugged and made to follow Rainie out of the office. His thoughts kept trailing off onto the knife wielding young man and the young woman who came to stop him from carving up Danniella like a roast. The guy Adrian didn't recognize for sure, but the woman as he kept thinking about it he was sure that she had been encountered by him in the past. Adrian thought for a minute of placing her face, it wasn't in his jobs or at college. His eyes widened a bit, "Must of been high school. That's where I've seen that young woman before." He said not realizing it was out loud of what he said.

"You know her?" She asked, her English accent really highlighted for a second. "But this is great! We can find out what's going on here and maybe get out of here. Surely they must know?" Glancing at Danniella she cocked an eyebrow and gave her a small smile. "Yeah, that was when I met you, but I heard one of them say your name."

Mark remembered that he was supposed to get water for everyone today. The carwash was not so far so he decided to check it out because if someone entered the bus he wouldn't be too far. Mark stepped outside the bus and started walking there. He made his way inside the transparent building.
When he walked inside he looked around to see that there was a bathroom. He decided to check it out and about five minutes later he found out it was fully functional and had a fresh roll of toilet paper, in fact it was cleanest thing in the entire town. If he had woken up in the bathroom instead of the bus when he got there, he would've never thought he was in an abandoned building. Outside of the bathroom the rest of the building was dingy, which struck Mark as odd.
He saw a control panel and he decided to randomly press a button. A huge buzzer like sound echoed across the town, it was a quick sound like if someone got a question wrong on a gameshow. Soon after the car wash started up and it was teeming with water. Mark had not bathed in a day and with no one around he decided this would be the perfect time. He ran back to the bus to get a change of clothes and ran back. Luckily the car wash had towels to wash cars and they were pretty fresh, even new Mark might say. Unlike the facility the carwash part of the building was not transparent. He took off his clothes and headed in to the car wash, the water was warm actually, almost perfect. This shower was the best thing Mark experienced since he got there. Luckily the hot wax wasn't on as Mark proceeded to the huge dryer that nearly blew him away. Mark put his towel on and walked around the facility, and was on his way to go back through the front door.
Tommy:
Tommy was caught off guard by a huge buzzer sound that he'd never heard. The reason for this is because the First Comers never messed around in those buildings. The First Comers believed that the buildings were maintained by the fog because every night the buildings would magically restock themselves with fresh food and supplies, so the First Comers never touched them out of fear. Tommy figured that he could not stay in this alleyway much longer so he picked up the sleeping Raine and headed towards the supermarket. He was planning on taking the shortcut he used earlier because he couldn't carry Raine through his normal route. Tommy was strong but, he wasn't strong enough to carry her that far even though Raine was quite skinny.
Tommy carried Raine across the street to see the carwash teeming with water. He passed it and headed through the supermarket quietly carrying Raine. He had seen that the others were already awake,so he did his best to sneak passed them and headed out the back door. Once he was outside he ran as fast as he could with Raine on his shoulders and headed towards Rick's mattress store.

"What?" Cur mumbled at Elena when she showed shock at his work. "Some freakish nightmare I had, gotta document that stuff, it came with the fog, you know." He paused looking at her and chewing his lip "Bet you had the same dream?"
Cur already knew the fog could send people visions and do stranger things than that, so perhaps he'd shared his nightmare with Elena. He continued sketching after this brief exchange of words, his images covering the roof.
Elizaveta:
She nodded at Danniella's apologies but breathed "I learn by listening."
The knife-weilding Russian then looked at Rainie with a smirk as she rolled her eyes back in her head, for the what must have been the thousandth time "Eyes get tired, No?"
She looked around the store with mild curiosity noticing that the shelves had somehow restocked themselves, this made her stomach turn with anxiety. What sort of games was this town playing with them? Elizaveta desperately wanted a phone to call help. She looked back at Adrian, Rainie, and Danniella with a suspicious glance and then gestured to the full shelves "It is not right.."

She kicked up a packet of what seemed to be chips. She opened them. "Chip, anyone?"
0.00 INK
He shrugged, "Why not?" He said as he walked forward and grabbed a small handful of chips and slowly ate them. His stomach growled and he realized he had not eaten anything since the crash. Come to think of it, none of them probably hadn't eaten anything since the accident. So the fact there was now fresh stocked supplies and such in the store was a mystery to them, he wouldn't complain if it was there and used for a good cause. The cause meaning their very survival in this ghost town. He heard Elizaveta's off handed comment of not right. "What's not right? This store? This whole town is not right." He replied.
Elena
"It's just I've never seen something like this before." Elena admitted, she had many visions already that the fog sent her. But the vision of the demon she saw, she had never seen before and it scared her. "I'm going to go find Tommy." She said as she took one last look at the drawings Cur was making before heading down from the mattress store roof and down on Glenshire's streets below. In her search for Tommy, she passed the supermarket and looked inside of it. Her eyes opened with curiosity when she saw the new arrivals in the store standing down in one of the aisles of the store. Curiosity getting the better of here, she decided to silently move in and get a better observation of the new arrivals without being spotted.

Tommy made it back to Rick's mattress store where he saw Cur still drawing. "Just been consumed by the fog, there's strangers in the town that outnumber us, and we haven't eaten in hours, but yet he still finds to draw" Tommy thought to himself as he shot a glare towards Cur." Tommy tossed Raine through the ventilation shaft knowing that she'd land on that pile of pillows they had . Tommy soon followed he in, careful not to land on her. Tommy picked he up and laid her inside his fortress made of mattresses.
Elena was nowhere to be found, so Tommy decided he would cook on his own. He pulled a skinned and gutted dead rat out of the fridge and placed it on a frying pan, with the top over it. It'd only be a couple minutes before Tommy had steam fried rat. It wasn't his favorite food, but it was something.

He did not reply to Elena before she left, being so absorbed in his own mind and work, he'd hardly even heard her.
"I hear you Tommy, you should have saved some goose." He said this very dreamily and it might not have even been audible to Tommy, and he did not adress the other problems mentioned, ignoring them in favor of his art. His charcoal continued to dance across the paved roof and he did not move from his position, crouched over the half-finished drawing of the Demon that had come from the fog visions. It's gaping teeth and wide eyes were all too realistically drawn.
Elizaveta:
She shook her head "I won't eat that." The fog had put it there she was sure, perhaps if one were to eat the food it would only further ensare them in the town. And Elizaveta did not want to stay. She turned around and stood on her guard, and the moment she did so there was Elena walking into one of the aisles. She breathed an opscenity in Russian "Chert!" before turning to the group and pointing at Elena "She is a stranger, No? Is dangerous...?" Elizaveta was not about to trust someone who she had never met before, especially in Glenshire.

Adrian turned to where Elizaveta as pointing and got a glimpse of who she was pointing at. It was young woman he recognized from earlier, what in the world was she doing back here? "Stay here, I'm going to try and talk to her. She might freak out if any of you confront her." He told Rainie, Danniella, and Elizaveta and walked towards the aisle where Elena was hiding.
Elena cursed her luck as the Russian woman spotted her and pointed her out. "Out of all the rotten..." She swore then stopped when she heard Adrian tell the others he was going to try and talk to her. Many thoughts were going through her head; would he try and take her hostage as a bargaining chip, would he get violent with her, or would he simply just try and peacefully talk with her. She was brought out of her thoughts with a "Hey" reaching her ears. She turned her attention and saw Adrian standing a few feet away from her and staring right at her.
"Uh hi." Elena replied as she was at a loss for words. Here was this guy she grew up with, went to high school with. They went their seperate ways, and until now...it was all too weird for her that he was here.

Mark after changing his clothes decided that he shouldn't be the only one to enjoy the luxury of the car wash. "Hey everyone!" he called out to the group hoping they would come. In fact it had occurred to Mark that the group was in the supermarket for way too long. Thoughts of danger ran through Mark's head, he wanted to go save them, but he had the people to look after. Mark went to his suitcase and grabbed his bottle of vodka. This time he decided not to drink it and quickly headed over to the supermarket.
Tommy:
Tommy who had just finished eating his steam fried rat heard someone call out. It was not one of the First Comers, it was a voice he'd not heard. He knew that Elena was out by herself and she wasn't with Cur. He climbed out of the ventilation shaft leaving a cooked rat by Cur who probably hadn't eaten. He knew Cur was entranced, so he didn't even bother waiting for him. Tommy ran down the alleyway and towards the buses where Mark was standing by with a bottle. He figured they would bring her back to there base if they were kidnapping her. Tommy shot out of the alleyway to see Mark standing down the road from him. Tommy all of a sudden remembered the vision the fog brought to him. He knew that Mark was a violent man based on that vision and watching him hit Cur with a bottle. Tommy pulled out two of his ten knives from his belt. "I tried being nice to you people. Now give me back Elena!" Tommy spun a knife around his index finger seemlessly, getting ready to throw.

"Do you remember me?" Adrian asked Elena, "We went to high school together." He then held up his hands meaning he meant no harm when Elena took a few steps back away from him. She looked deep in thought before shaking her head then looking back at him, "Yeah I remember you." She said, "Adrian Turner."
He nodded his head with a smile, "That's right. I remember now, we were in shop class and phys ed together. I remember how we always used to compete who would last the longest on the treadmills during free days in class." He laughed at almost immediately, fondly remembering his high school days. They seemed so innocent back then, so free without a care in the world. Nowadays, you didn't have that freedom anymore. People expected a lot out of you, and you weren't always sure if you would live up to those expectations. "I'm sorry I remember you, but I don't remember your name."
"Elena...Elena Parker." She replied softly looking straight back at him, he made no motion to come near to her. She did have her survival knife on her for defense in case she needed it, but she always hoped she would never have to use it in this case.
"Elena, that's right." Adrian nodded his head and smiled, "Look I...don't know where to start. I mean, how did you get here? This town, I came here through an accident in a bus crash. How did you get here?" He asked.
"I..I'm..." Elena was really not sure in how to explain to him on how she got here in Glenshire. She was also not sure of what to say if he asked her on how to get out of it. Elena herself was not sure on how to get out of the town and she had been here for years.

Elizaveta wanted to reply 'Take her' but didn't know if she would have said it correctly in English and didn't want to look down into her phrase book, and risk taking her eyes off of The Firstcomer.
She stood cautiously awaiting a move from anyone in the group and wondering why this boy felt so threatened in the first place, it wasn't as if anyone had laid a hand on the girl.
And even if they had the child had to know that their small group felt more threatened by the people already residing in Glenshire than they might have felt towards the newcomers.

"Hi," She said lightly, with a smile to Elena. "I'm Rainie, I was on the same bus as Adrian. It's a pleasure to meet you-" Before she had finished speaking she heard Mark's voice quickly followed by Tommy's. She arched an eyebrow, waiting for what was next.

"Yeah...ummm,,,I'm just gonna..um" Mark started to say as he dashed to the bus door. Tommy threw a knife and nipped Mark's ear just a bit as it suck itself in the bus. "Now hand over Elena before you get hurt." Tommy demanded still holding another knife in his hand. "Ow you son of a--agh! I don't even know who Elena is!" Mark said as he clutched his ear in pain. Tommy spun his knife again. "I'm trying to give you a chance to live, I don't miss. I know Elena is in that bus, now bring her out." Tommy once again demanded. "Look I don't know who your friend is, but you're not getting on this bus." Mark said as he stood his ground.
Tommy got ready to throw his knife, he'd never killed a human before so there was a bit of hesitation as he began to target Mark's head.
