Tyler opened the door of the horribly noticable pink car, looking at the carnival in front of him. The lights and rides were still running, like it was still waiting for the kids that would never come back.
He reached into his pocket and pulled the pistol, again silently telling himself that he had 13 bullets left. Tyler turned to the others, thinking about what had just happened back at the fallout shelter. He didn't know what they were, and he never wanted to find out.

OoC: I was figuring Nomad was going next, but I'll post. ___________________________________________________ A sense of clarity swept over Jack. He'd been hiding, wandering and scavenging for his life for quite some time, but he sees a greater purpose.
"Guys" he says "I'm leaving. There's someone I need to find. I wish you the best of luck; Tabbitha, I hope your eyes get better soon. Maybe we'll all meet again sometime, though I doubt it."
Jack exits the City Carnival.
_________ OoC: I've got a lot going on IRL, so I'm minimizing my online stuff for now. I'll probably bring Jack back later, but I won't have time for things like this for about a week.

[Desmond kovacs has entered city carnival]
He walked through a hole in the fence around the large carnival, this wasn't a good idea, he had no where to hide or stay safe. He looked back at the great distance he had walked, he wouldn't make it in the dark. He walked up to the ferris wheel that was surprisingly powered.. the knobs and handles were covered with dust and dried blood, he wondered how many travelers had perished here, in the same carnival he was standing... he got inside one of the higher up booths by climbing the wheel, he tucked himself inside and proceeded to wait till daylight... he could here the fast steps and noises of the creatures that lay wait in the dark, causing him to grip his knife with white knuckles under his fingerless wool gloves... they were getting closer.

[Nathanos has entered the Carnival]
The sleek black helicopter hovered around the Carnival for several seconds, before landing on the flat surface of a one-story building right now.
"Alright. Keep an eye-out for rotters. Shouldn't be able to reach us here but God knows what the hell else is creeping around this place." said Nathanos.
They all nodded and began to relax, having cigarettes and breaking out into conversation. Nathanos in the meanwhile began studying the details of the information he'd just stolen.
"What you think plan is boss?" asked Sobczak, sitting near Nathanos.
"There's a few power-generators on the outside that keep the perimeter electrified. This should also put the gates on lock-down. Which'll keep everyone in as well. So I guess we're just going to have to leave something rather unpleasant on the inside." said Nathanos.
"What you have in mind?" asked Sobczak.
"Well, I'll have to contact Tricell Africa, see if they can spare anything particularly nasty. Until then we'll just have to sabotage communications." said Nathanos.
"You mention symbol people don't like. What was this?" asked Sobczak. "Umbrella's... only saw it for an instant when all those files we're flashing. It was slight but I noticed it. That's worse then sporting a swastika these days. I doubt it'd be on there for referential purposes." said Nathanos.
Meanwhile...
"See the one in the party-hat?" asked Ito.
"Oh yeah... nah that's not a good shot at that angle." said Hicks.
"Two cigarettes?" Ito wagered.
"Your own." said Hicks.
Ito knelt, firing a shot hitting the party-hat wearing zombie in the torso, it letting out a groan and stumbling briefly.
"Damnit." Ito cursed.
"My turn." said Hicks, taking aim and firing a shot, nailing the zombie in the head. "Peace." Hicks gloated.
"God damnit. Alright what about that--- that's odd." Ito said.
"Hmm?" Hicks asked.
"There gathering at the Ferris Wheel." Ito said, observing the behavior of a small group of walking dead.
"Hmm... you'd think they'd come over this way." said Hicks.
"Might be someone in there." said Ito.
"Or something." said Hicks.
Ido stood up hesitantly, "
"YO!!! ANYONE OUT THERE!" he yelled, getting the attention of the zombies.
"God damn man. I don't want those things over-here." said Hicks.
"They can't reach us." said Ito.
"I'd still prefer to have them not chillin' at our feet." said Hicks.
"Fine." Ido grumbled, opening fire at the zombies.
Nathanos exited the helicopter.
"What the hell are you two wasting ammunition for." he growled.
"Think there might be someone in the Ferris Wheel." said Ito.
"You are aware we are actively planning to eradicate the populace of this pathetic little city, correct?" hissed Nathanos.
"Granted but that's got some reasoning behind it. Besides, it could be a damsel in distress." said Hicks.
"Or some crazy bum." said Nathanos. "Just save your ammo. If they start to loiter around us fire but aim for the heads. We're going to need to save those bullets."
"Gotcha boss." said Ito, sighing.
"Good. Now... do whatever." said Nathanos, disinterested and already returning to his lap-top.

he had heard the helicopter land in the carnival while looking at the zombies below him. He had heard the gunshots of them firing toward what he hoped to be the zombies, "perfect" he mumbled gratefully, he threw his survival knife into the skull of one and grabbed on to the rafters of the ferris wheel and grabbed it back. He attempted to dodge the grabbing feet, he looked back at the men drawing some of the crowds attention. He hopped down the other side and circled around, he ran toward the building like lightning, he shouldered an infected in the ribs going by and he heard a dull crunch. Hockey had paid off, he listened to his breath though the skull hockey mask of his, he pulled his hood up over his now hatless head to hide the dried blood on the back of his head.. No need for them to get the wrong idea, he ran past the house of mirrors before slamming face first into the ground as a thick black tongue started dragging him through the shards of glass. He quickly cut the tongue off at the tip and continued running before he heard the grunts of whatever beast had grabbed him... It was on his tail while the other's shot at it, he dove through one of the non broken window's into the building, he shouldered his way through a few zombies and up the stairs. He reached the door, no the closed door and pounded on it, he turned around as hands from an infected grabbed his shoulders. He heard the door open when he yanked the hands off his shoulders like in his training and kicked it once in the ribs and elbowed it's arm inward. He dove through the door and felt the scratchy cement on his face before he blacked out.

Hicks & Sobczak mopped up the remaining infected while Ito dragged the boy to the roof; using a series of stacked boxes to climb back to the top. Hicks & Sobczak quickly followed suite, Hicks kicking the boxes over as he reached the roof so no infected could follow.
Gambhir stepped out of the helicopter with a pistol drawn. "Back off, back off. He could be infected." he warned.
"He not bite with mask on." Sobczak said, knocking Desmond's mask with the bud of his gun.
"And now what the hell is going on?" Nathanos said, stepping out from the helicopter.
"Boy run over here. Figure we help." Sobczak explained.
"Well that's fine and dandy. Now toss him over the---." Nathanos stopped, a lightbulb going off in his head.
"Belay that... I think instead, we may have use for this one." he said with a deviant smile, poking the boy's mask with his walking stick.
"You think it's safe to involve natives?" Hicks asked, holstering his weapon.
"Perhaps... perhaps not. Wake the boy up. Oh and Ito, duck." Nathanos said as he drew his blade and extended it.
Ito hit the floor as a tongueless licker pounced, missing Ito by moments and flying face-first into Nathanos' blade, knocking Nathanos down and running it's head to the hilt of the sword. Nathanos threw the slain creature off him and severed the Licker's head for good measure, kicking it's severed head into an infected on the ground below.
"Bastard." Nathanos hissed, "Now there's blood all over my suit." he complained while Ito and Gambhir threw the headless corpse from the roof.
"Wake the kid. We'll see if he's of use and then we'll begin with the next phase." Nathanos said, wiping his blade with a rag and then sheathing it back into his walking-stick.

He could hear voices talking... His world started slowly blurring back into reality, but he did'nt move, he wasn't dead so those men had helped him. But he did'nt want to move just yet, his whole body ached and he was pretty sure he had a concusion from his injury at the apartments. He sighed and forced himself up to his feet. It was dark at the moment a quiet night, so that was what felt strange, no moans or cries. first quiet he had heard in a long time... he took it in greatfully before he saw the men staring at him. He rubbed the back of his hood a bit and slid up the mask and wore it like a hat under his hood, he walked toward the men and just stood not really knowing what to say. He took a seat in an empty chair and decided first impressions are important so he decided to do what came natural. "thanks for saving my a**" he said to them with extreme simplicity. One of them walked up to him and handed him a bottle of water "no problem" "names ido by the way". Desmond grunted in response before responding "Desmond", the man seemed to tread carefully with his question's before finally asking the whole reason they had helped him, they needed his help. Desmond didn't need to know what it was because he didn't care much at the moment he hadnt eaten in 2 days and he hadn't slept in 3 days before moments ago, and even that was unpleasant. "Name it" Desmond said with his usual cold face.

((For the record it's Ito, Ido was a typo on my part.))
Nathanos stepped from the helicopter, chuckling. "Not too loquacious I see. Yet I suspect that will not be the most necessary of traits. You have my men's clemency to thank for your life." Nathanos said, gesturing to Ito, Sobczak, Gambhir and Hicks.
He walked up to the boy, examining him in the same fashion one does a used car as he absent mind-idly twirled his walking stick.
"I will assume, and correct me if I am mistaken, that you are an orphan. And that you are a native of this city; or at least this country, right?" Nathanos asked, leaning on his walking stick.
Suddenly Nathanos' phone rang, he gestured to his men to continue the interrogation as he walked behind the helicopter. He walked back seconds later, laughing quietly.
"What is it sir?" Hicks asked.
"It would seem my request for a class 4 B.O.W has been accepted." Nathanos said smiling.
"Still want the kid?" Sobczak asked, briefly pulling his gun.
"Hmm?" Nathanos glanced up, having almost completely forgotten about Desmond. "Oh -- yes, that. Let us skip the pleasantries. Tell me boy; do you think you can get into the downtown area of Raccoon City?" Nathanos asked, silently twisting the hilt off of his walking-stick.

He didn't show much suprise at the request of such a simple task, he was sure one of his former freinds was in the military, [as well as a few that owed him for helping fix there jeep on the feild]. "Yea i can do it", "you gonna be able to tell me why? or will that be a problem". [i have a feeling my karma after this is gonna suck], he kept his thoughts to himself, he didn't like the feel of these guys..., he wasn't surpised by the oprhan comment either. It was pretty obvious, even though there werent many children around anymore.

"Yes, to leave a certain package in a certain spot." Nathanos said, his hand ready to draw his blade as he spoke, holding his tongue briefly before deciding to elaborate.
"The purpose of which is to create a very precise explosion. However in return I can offer you fortune well beyond your wildest dreams and an opportunity to strike back at a subsidiary of Umbrella; the company I assume caused your family's undoing. You will have a short amount of time to reach the rendezvous once you've delivered said package. If you fail to reach it your fate is in your own hands." Nathanos said without breaking eye-contact or blinking.
"I have no way to ensure my end of the bargain, short of the fact I have no motivation to lie to you and you are indebted to my men. So the choice is yours, continue to live on the streets, and inevitably run out of luck and become like our leg-dragging friends down there, or come with me and work for a brighter destiny." Nathanos said confidently.
"Make up your mind quickly, but know this, if you so choose to fight against Umbrella then failure is not an option. I have pressing matters to attend to and must be off swiftly, you stand at a rare crossroad of life young man; choose wisely" Nathanos said.

"I know Umbrella" said Desmond gruffly, he gave the offer a breif thought. The man was right, eventually he would slip up or just simply be outpowered. "Alright il do it", "after i plant the bomb wheres the rendezvous point"?,and i wanna know exactly how much time i have. He had become fairly cold after losing his parents but this was.. alot more people, but he let the thought go and tried to not think about what it would cost other's for him to survive. "il go as soon as you give me the bomb", "are you gonna drop me off close or will i walk there"?

"My men will take you there." Nathanos said, glancing over to head-lights piercing through the darkness in the distance.
"I on the other-hand, have more to arrange. You will take the helicopter with my men." Nathanos instructed.
"Sir, where are you going exactly?" Hicks asked.
Nathanos grinned, "Organizing our reinforcements."
Gambhir, Sobczak, Hicks and Ito looked at each-other in mild confusion.
"Just bring the boy close to the city. Await my orders and if I take long park yourselves on a building or something. Your suppose to be soldiers; improvise. Young man; you on the other-hand will proceed on foot once you're dropped off in closer proximity. Be sure to give him a radio, Hicks." Nathanos instructed as he walked to the helicopter, taking out his bag and removing his suit-coat and tie, putting on a black over-coat and taking out an array of weapons. He concealed the numerous blades in various parts of his clothing and walked back to his men and Desmond.
"You have your orders. I shall inform you of the finer arrangements as I orchestrate." Nathanos said, the head-lights now lighting up the building, a massive armored truck up into the lights projected from the still-powered carnival.
"Farewell for now." Nathanos said as he drew his blade from his walking stick and upholstered a pistol.
He took a leap over the side of the small building, rolling as he landed. He turned quickly and fired a few rounds at the approaching Infected as they shambled toward him. Hicks raised his rifle to fire at a Zombie approaching Nathanos from behind, but before he could fire Nathanos had spun around and decapitated the creature with a single fluid motion. He laughed gleefully as he did this, which visibly unnerved Sobczak.
He wiped the blade on the shirt of the decapitated infected and sheathed it within his walking-stick. He got in the passenger seat of the vehicle as it backed up (the truck turning two more infected into a single bloody blob of roadkill in the process) and made it's way for the exit. The now blood-stained Tricell symbol visible along with the truck's red tail-lights as it turned down the road and disappeared behind the buildings of Raccoon City.
"What in truck?" Sobczak asked.
"Nothing friendly I'm sure." Gambhir said.
The four men stood their pondering the unrevealed parts of Nathanos' plan for several moments until a loud inhuman cry ripped through the carnival. A creature could be seen leaping through the air in the distance.
[Nathanos Rivendare has left the Carnival]
"We go now?" Sobczak asked.
"Yeah, lets." said Ito, ushering Desmond with them into the helicopter as Gambhir got into the pilot's seat. The blades spinning as the helicopter prepared to lift-off.
"Next stop, Downtown area." Gambhir's voice crackled over the speakers in the back.

Desmond listened to the information intentley, memorising everything, he wanted this fu** up free. He watched as the man hopped off the building and proceeded to leave the carnival. He sat for a few moments reveiwing all the information from moments ago. He was ushered into the chopper and they flew off to the downtown area.

[[This RP post is technically set in Raccoon City airspace and some random area within the city for the sake of keeping everything simple.]]
The chopper stopped about a mile out from the downtown's wall. Gambhir put it down on a nearby apartment complex and the doors slid upon. They tossed Desmond a shotgun and a backpack.
"Don't open and no let anyone else open." Sobczak ordered as he handed the backpack to Desmond.
"Boss say on radio he see you in downtown. You go there, he find you, this understood yes? Go down fire-escape, get there with no bites, yes?" Sobczak said, leading Desmond to the fire-escape before walking back to the chopper.
((Rorschach, feel free to start off your journey from any point in Raccoon City. Short the downtown area itself, obviously.))
