Escape from Clockwork [4/4]

A world in which magic and Steampunk collide. Wizardry is a common art, and, although not many possess the gift, the ones that do don’t have much power at all. They can cast a few illumination spells or cause a spark at their fingertips, but that’s it. A few children, however, are particularly gifted, and the tyrannical government has gotten wind of them. In order to escape the grasp of the assassins dispatched to wipe them out, the kids must scramble across a Steampunk, post-apocalyptic world in search for freedom, liberty, and justice.

But then one day she woke up to her parents being gone. The house ransacked. Her Aunt and Uncle showed up to take her in. Seeing as they had no children they treat her like their own. She grew up happy and safe. And in secret using her magic on her Aunt's plants. She never had a green thumb. And seeing the plants lively always made her Aunt happy.

Bio: On the surface, Kurt is a fun, down-to-earth man with a rapier wit. He's currently studying for his Second Class Education Permit, which will allow him to teach Biology and Botany at the college level. At the moment, he teaches science classes at a local secondary school and is renting a flat above a flower shop, which he visits frequently.

However, this is all a cover for his true purpose. Kurt is really the infamous assassin known as Bishop, and this country is rife with clients. He's been in the city for two years already, and in that time has killed over fifty people by order of power-hungry aristocrats and desperate merchants.

And had used it in secret to improve on the design on her toy guns. She sold toy guns. Real ones made her uncomfortable. Her shop was two shops down from a flower shop. Which she went into sometimes. She loved the smell of fresh flowers.
Appearance:

(Thanks!)

Possessing the true power of magic was gift. Most people had some magic they could power a light bulb without steam or they could have bits of sparks shoot from their fingers but the real magic was what Lana could do. Lana lived with her parents in a rather luxurious home with everything she ever needed but it wasn't enough. The only thing that had ever kept her sane was the magic she possessed, she would do so much with just the flick of her finger and few words and everything would be wonderful.

Lana dried her hair off as she stepped into her room from the bathroom and let out a small sigh. It didn't take her long to get dressed it was an everyday ritual. Bra,undies,shirt,pants,vest,boots,gloves, and her gun. Ever since she realized the amount of power she had she always carried a gun. Lana looked out of her bedroom window to see the floating city of clockwork..yes floating all powered by steam. She opened her window to let fresh air in, she had a nice neighbor hood, their was a park, a small plant shop, small stores and few other house. Lana shut her window and headed outside before he parents could stop her.

(Lilah= red Maude= blue)

I opened my eyes. I was in the office of my shop again. I sighed. I really needed to stop falling asleep in my office while doing paper work. But I was also the only one who ran my shop. Maybe I should put out an ad for some help. But I also didn't really have the money to hire someone. I sighed again.

I got up and went to the closet of my office. I changed into a different dress. My black one with the red rose on it. Then I started my normal routine to open the shop.


My steam alarm clock went off. Ugh. A new day., I thought.

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I took a quick shower, dried off, blow dried my hair, and then put on my make-up. With my towel wrapped around me I went to my closet. I picked out my favorite black skirt and blouse. I also picked out a pair of black leggings and socks.

After I was dressed I went to the kitchen. I ate some fruit before going downstairs. I started to open up the shop. In awhile I would go get some flowers.

I finished my lesson plan for the day just as I heard Lilah opening the shop downstairs. Seven o'clock on the dot, as usual. That girl had an oddly accurate internal clock, just like me.

I took a bite of my bagel, and noticed that there was still a speck of blood on my hand. Apparently I hadn't been careful enough when I'd killed Count DuCouteau last night.

I reached for my pen, holding it slightly above the bloodspot. A single drip of ink fell from it and covered it.

"Better," I said to myself, as I packed my supplies into my briefcase.

Lana stood outside her home the sun pounding on her face.Man did she love the warmth it left her with.Lana smiled softly to herself as she enjoyed this moment before she started down the street not sure as to what she had planned for the day.

Lana whistled to herself as she looked around at all the shops and came to a stop at a gun shop,"Hmm I've been wanting a new one for a while.." she mumbled to herself as she headed into the store.

I crept down the stairs to the shop below, though I made sure to make more noise than I usually would. Normal people didn't react well when I sneaked up on them, and I often did that unintentionally.

"Good morning," I said as my foot touched the floor of the shop. I glanced over at Lilah, who was arranging flowers in a bowl. "Add some carnations."

"I'm afraid I'm not here to shop. I have to get to class. It would set a bad precedent if the professor was late to his own class," I said, hoping my smile wasn't too awkward.

I stood there for a moment, trying to decide whether or not to continue the conversation, before I decided against it.

"Have a good day, Lilah," I said, walking out the door.

Lana looked around at the weapons a bit chocked on how these looked, "Do you make these your self?" she blurted out in curiosity. All these guns were different then any she had seen before.

Once Lilah's shop was out of sight, I made a beeline for Maude's gun store. I needed to restock.

"Do you have any hollowpoint rounds," I asked without preamble. "I understand that you may not. They are, after all, quite rare."

I raised my eyebrow as I noticed she had a customer. That was rare this early in the morning, and it was a woman no less.

"I apologize if I'm interrupting."

Lara was about to respond to the female when a male had walked in and didn't hesitate in asking for what he wanted. Lara let out a sigh not letting her anger get the best of her as she continued to look at the guns in the case.

I quickly supplied the relevant identification, under a false name of course. Kurtzwell Cuhns. It was close enough to my other alias that if Lilah and Maude spoke about me they would not notice a discrepancy. However, I was two different people as far as the government was concerned.

"I would like fifty of them, if you please, from Malcolm Spark's factory. Five boxes of ten." I placed several large bank notes on the counter.

(@ Mrs.KreszentiaBlack, Yes you may join if you wish. You may join as either one with the rue power of magic or another assassin.)

After a moment once Lara was able to calm her temper she walked over to the counter were the man and young women stood and smiled pulling out her gun, "Do you happen to have any like this one?" She asked softly quickly glancing at the taller gentlemen. Something about that guy had made her feel weird from the start.

I graciously accepted the ammunition. "No, thank you. that will be all. Good day, Maude." I bowed slightly, then turned to the other customer and did the same. "Good day, madam." I avoided further eye contact with her as I left the store. I'd caught her looking at me. While it was true my entrance was a bit abrupt, she seemed a little too suspicious of me. Perhaps I would ask Maude about her later.

((Thanks they are perfect!)

Lara Watched the guy leave after he had bowed. She pushed away the thoughts of suspicion away she looked back at the shop owner and smiled, "Yes that would be lovely and I would like to buy one of your guns as well by your recommendation.."
