Welcome to Beyond. This is a world overlapping our own, like a piece of plastic, vacuum-sealed over the world we live in. This is the land of the dead. But there's a rip. People are disappearing: friends, family, loved ones...gone, without a trace. And more people are disappearing. They wake to find themselves numb, cold and confused. They can't be seen, can't be heard, can't be sensed. If they're not dead, they must find a way to get home! This has nothing to do with Taint. Current Missing List: Nevarx, Quill, Xonah, Empress, Karu, and Death. (Up to six of Kanna's may be missing, but not Rosalie or Rosalyn or the kids.) Do not use characters from Maxina's roleplay, since I don't know who they are yet.

"And there were no surviors." Glide sighed, watching the TV. "Why does news always have to be so gruesome? Twilight Town's not even that big, where the heck does the accident happen? No one here owns a car!" He looked around for the remote to change the channel. "In other news, fifteen more people were reported missing today. Among the missing was a local teenager, only listed as 'Sy'." Glide froze, looking at the TV. There was a picture of Sy, among the pictures of the other missing people. "If you have any information about the missing, please contact..." Glide shut the TV off. "Sy's gone too..." he whispered in horror.

Odette whimpered, peaking in. The poor girl was horribly sensitive to emotions, and when Sy was gone, the sensitivity usually was worse. Warning signs of a complete wail of hopelessness were showing in her position, nearly fetal. Of course, before she could bawl all over, Ovan burst through. "T-There's no food!!! The laundry's not done! THE BATHROOM'S DISCUSTING! WHERE IS MY ANGEL?" He cried in a very girlly style, making Odette just stare at him, still looking heartbroken.

"They're both gone..." Glide bit his lip. "Sy was just reported missing on the news..." he sniffed sadly. "First it was Xonah, then Nevarx, then Death and Karu an..." He looked at the two. "Any of Rosalie's missing?" "Daddy?" Kalos poked his head in. He ran in and hugged Glide. "Daddy, Echo's not in his room and no one will play with me!" Glide ran a hand through his son's hair comfortingly.

"I haven't seen Bordeaux recently either...." Ovan sighed. "Rosalie's too busy with one of her expirements. Figures." He huffed, a bit angry. A shout of joy rang through the lab. "HAH I TOLD YOU IT COULD BE DO-....Xonah?" A very confused heartless began her normal chirp of joy, but ended in a very strange and lonely tone. Ovan chose the moment to facepalm, grumbling. Odette whimpered again. "B-But I was gonna make icecream today!"

Glide sighed. "This is awful..." he said sadly. "Where are they all going?"

"Hey Glide...You seen Xonah? I sort of have something really important to tell him." Rosalie poked her head in. "And by tell I mean brag in an 'In your face!' sort of way." A grin replaced the slightly confused expression. Ovan began to bang his head on the wall. Odette managed to sit in a corner, still looking very fragile and hurt.

"He's been gone for almost a week, Rosalie." Glide said, holding Kalos. "Along with Nevarx, Empress, Quill, and a several other Hybrids. Sy was just reported missing." he said. "I'm amazed you didn't know."

Rosalie gave a nervous chuckle. "Please tell me you're kidding?" She managed to say in a very tiny voice. "He's not." Ovan managed to say, keeping his composure. At that, Rosalie sort of...Deflated. "Oh...Well...I..I'll be in my.... ...lab." She walked off a bit aimlessly, occasionally tripping over a chair or two. "That went well." Ovan sarcastically replied.

A young woman watched Rosalie walk right past her. "Miss Rosalie...I'm right here..." she said sadly, knowing she couldn't be heard. Empress sighed, looking at the floor. She turned and walked away, not really caring where she was going. At one point, she walked straight into a a door, and passed straight through it without a pause.

Rosalie continued to her bedroom, and looked in the mirror. Perhaps she could convince herself of what she was beliving. "He doesn't love me...He's never loved me...I've never meant anything to-.." She stopped, shaking. "Oh god what have I done...?" She collapsed, sobbing.
Ovan sighed, hugging the now-sleeping Odette. It hadn't been easy to calm the poor girl down, expecially because she was so delicate to everything. Bordeaux watched silently, averting her gaze to Glide and her son. She sighed, shaking her head.

A strange figure materialized right next to Glide. He had short jade green hair and pointed ears. His eyes were almond-shaped like a cat's, and were bright blue. He wore a white dress shirt under an equally white suit. His finger's were thin and slender, and his nails were long and pointed, like claws. He removed a cigarette from his mouth, letting the smoke curl out as he exhaled. He stepped through Glide, who shivered slightly. He chuckled. "Mortals...can't even sense they've been in contact with us."

"It's strange, isn't it..?" Bordeaux cautiously replied, watching him with a glare as if to say 'you do that again, you'll regret it'. She stepped a bit closer to her family, but not close enough to cause a shivver.
"The room's cold.." Ovan complained slightly, unaware of the 'guests' in the room.

The figure blinked. "You can see me?" he took a pull from his cigarette. "Ah...you must be one of the one's pulled into the rip." Glide nodded. "Yeah...I just felt like someone dunked me in ice..."

"The thermostat's turned up high enough...How odd." Ovan remarked. "Is that why they can't see me..?" Bordeaux remarked, blinking in surprize. "What's going on, anyway?"
Blood. Crimson blood. It wasn't any different, human, nobody, hybrid, heartless....It was odd. The only thing all of them shared was blood. It blossomed from Rosalie's wrist, stinging from contact with the air. She cursed slightly, regretting her dicision to act emo the 'proper' way. Shedding blood wasn't going to bring him back...So why bother? She sighed again, messily dressing the wound. She flopped down on her bed, another wave of emptyness hitting her. "Why now...?" She muttered. The need to cry was strong, but her tears had dried up minutes before.
