Pandemic

Pandemic couldn't stand the pointless quizing of Snake's information. They were all missing one key point: just how could these extremist's end the world on the supposed date? Pandemic had his suspicions as to their ideas, but he required an answer of certainty.

The doctor butted in on Umbra's reply to Snake's answer to her previous question. "Just how will these men end the world?" Pandemic's deep voice cut through the air. Snake turned to face him. "They performed a murder and burned a doctor's notes, this proves nothing in the sense of them being a threat to this world. Until you prove that the Chacs truly have the capabilities of bringing about Doomsday, I will not waste my time in following a lost cause" he grunted. Turning to leave.

"Wait..."
Laments of passion
Obstructed by fear.
Under guises of jovial chatter;
Incredulous hopes
Steadily feasting away-
Eating away at my heart.

Betheny, I had planned to kind of slide the leap year thing under the mat, I'll just say that the Chacs are going by that calendar anyway, as they believe it to be holy and therefore correct etc.


Snake

"Wait..." Snake called out after the doctor as he turned to leave. It was the sticking point in his plan for recruitment, he had known. He also knew he could not appeal to Pandemic's softer side- he had none- so instead, Snake attempted to invoke the scientist within him.
"Look, I know that I can't prove anything," he began. Quartermaster scoffed at the obvious statement, but Snake continued to talk before he had the chance to say anything. "I know that the burning of the doctor's notes could easily be a coincidence. But think about this, all of you: if the Chacs exist, they have had hundreds of years to plan this. They could easily have constructed weapons of mass destruction, or assembled an army, or..." he looked over at Pandemic, who stood with head cocked in scepticism, "...or a biological weapon which could easily wipe out the world. Sure, they might just be a bunch of Peruvian wackos, but what if they're not? What if they are a threat? Are you just gonna sit here and let them kill us? I sure the fuck won't! I'm taking the fight to the Chacs, but I can't do it alone. I need you, Pandemic. I need you all if I'm going to succeed. I need Watchmen."
Pandemic seemed to move slightly at the mention of the superhero team. Indeed, Snake heard murmuring from most of the assembled.
"The world thinks the Watchmen are gone. Hell, the world wants the Watchmen gone. But they need us, more than they will ever realise. They need us to save them from the Chacs. From destruction. So come on. Who wants to be a Watchman?"
At the end of the day, when the sun is gone and the light is lost, the shadows will play.

Quartermaster

"So come on. Who wants to be a watchman." Quartermaster leaned against the nearby wall and stood there deep in thought. If there really was a threat, then he better stop it, he thought, however he couldn't start trusting random stranger, vigilante or otherwise. He tossed the thought around in his head even more. He made his mind up.

"I'll join, as I've got nothing better to do and my HQ is now destroyed...oh wait," Quartermaster said as he pulled out a detonator. He pressed the button. "Okay now it is destroyed."

"Was that really necessary?" Catena asked.

"No, just for giggles really," I remarked sarcastically. I stepped forward to join Snake. "So...anyone else?"
I want to see you choke on your lies,
Swallow up your greed,
Suffer all alone in your misery.

Alec, recall the vote on the DT? We're writing in 3rd person now.


Pandemic

Quartermaster's comical act was not much of an incentive for Pandemic to join their side, however, Snake's words had refreshed the doctor's memory that the world had much more power than he alone. This group of 'Watchmen' would definitely be a front-line defense against these religious extremists, well 'extremists' was a lighter term for it.

Pandemic spoke no words, but took two paces forward, and the expression on Snake's face was that of gladness. This was a dive into the deep end, and Pandemic knew it, but petit thieves were nowhere near as dangerous as these 'Chacs'. Now it was Pandemic's duty to kill and torture those who wish to bring about doomsday, and he would do so with horrifying efficiency.
