Even paradise could become a prison if one had enough time to take notice of the walls
welcome to Dire Tactics
Oddities are individuals born with extraordinary gifts. Because of this they are hated, feared and generally persecuted across the globe. In an attempt to give them a refuge the billionaire Theodore Ashford has created Ashford Isle. Presented as a Sanctuary for the special some believe their to be much darker motives behind his generosity.
Ashford Isle
A state of the art city powered completely by renewable energy, gorgeous modern building erected against the backdrop of a tropical paradise. It has all the luxuries modern technology can afford accompanied by the natural beauty and serenity only nature can provide. This city is open to all Oddities and their families, along with several hundred A.R.I. employees, it boast a modest population of just over 5,000 individuals consisting of a mix between both human and oddity. This wonderful utopia however is shaded in mystery both metaphorically and literally. The United Nations have dispatched several fleets of O.S.E. ships near the island, this gives the coastline a ominous view.

Old ruins? That almost made her skin itch but she was going to do her best to make it and not complain. "Okay," she said. She ran and looked back to make sure that he was okay too. "We need to also have you looked at as soon as we find some kind of medical center if we are able to." It was always a caution that a person took having an ability even if you used them to protect yourself it did not mean that you did not get injured. She spotted them and she took a seat around the corner and waited on Calvin. She did not mind using her powers but she knew that she had a bit of rage as she felt her thermal knives come out and she threw one at one of the primal's feet and watched the primal take a minute and step back. "Damn it I was aiming for his toes." She did not want them for anything but she did want them off. "How are you holding up?" she asked as she caught another primal in his eye. "Bullseye," she said as she laughed. Calvin Dayspring

My shoulder was throbbing but I was fine, I continued forward at as fast as I could keeping my eye on Addy behind me. She fired her fingers up and sent a few shots at the hord of apes chasing us. After what appeared to be two shots she seemed to be able to scare or hurt them enough to slow them down and get us a decent head start. We kept running though, heading towards the ruins.
"We are almost there, I think we might be...,"
We were cut off as we hit a trap and feel into some sort of pit about 12 feet down. I hit hard on my back and she landed right on top of me. My shoulder and back area throbbed hard. I lifted up and looked around "Well fuck...,"
I pointed to the left there was a small tunnel that lead into some sort of sewer area "We could go that way I guess..,"

This slightly reminded her of their time in the circus. It was always fun, exciting, and thrilling but the moment that a member of the team that you were cheering for went down it was always hard to watch. You never wanted them to be severely injured but you had to take into account that they might be. She turned and then they fell and she spoke. "Sorry but if it helps at least you broke my fall," she was always trying to make jokes to lighten the mood and maybe that was not always the best decision. "Come on let me help you up and we can manage our way to the sewer." She looped Calvin's arm around her and made here way over. "Come on," she said as she lift the hole up. "You can go down first."

My body was hurting, but I could mostly still walk. Despite that Addy helped me up and towards the tunnel. I paused glancing around a bit looking for any other way out.
"If we wait long enough maybe I can get a bird wings..," I closed my eyes and tried to scan, there were none close enough for me to duplicate. I grunted
"Or not, I guess we need to go down. Here I go," I said as I slid down about another 12 feet as the water splashed below me. It was pitch black, with absolutely no light.
"Come on down Addy, but fire up one of those hot knives we need some light..,"

A sewer. She honestly had no idea which one was worse. The robot or the sewer but she followed down and held up one of her hot knives. It gave enough light so that they could look around and see where they were going as she put her arm over him and walked with him. "Let's see if we can look over everything and see if we can get somewhere safe. I liked this place when we first got here but now I am not so sure." She walked now with him. "Next time we go out, we need to make sure that we have almost everything for almost every type of emergency and never never be surprised about what might happen here." Calvin Dayspring

"Where's the fun without a little adventure babe," I spoke with a chuckle that hurt my ribs and back as it came out. I grimaced and took a deep breath before speaking again
"I think I see some torches on the side of the wall, why don't you light them up so we can see a bit better and keep a light behind us just in case..,"
I closed my eyes and tried to reach out for creatures nearby "There is something I don't recognize in here with us, and fairly sure its too close for comfort. Might be best if we keep as many lights on as possible so if its not scared of fire maybe we at least see what's coming..,"

This place still did not strike her as a place of paradise but she reached over and grabbed a torch and held it out. "Everything is crazy," she said. "I do not know if this is paradise," she said as she looked at him and took a second. "What does the animal feel like?" she asked. "Like if you could take a form on it does it feel like a bird, a horse, or maybe something that you do not recognize, it would be nice if we knew what we were working with." Calvin Dayspring

My physical condition and extend of my powers were strongely linked. Being her greatly injured my ability to harness my abilities. I listened to Addy as she lit up some of the nearby torches. While she did so I focused even harder.
"It's something I haven't ever been around, doesn't seem to exotic but unfamiliar.,"
I paused for a second again trying to figure it out "Reptilian maybe? It's...," It hit me, large powerful jaws, razor Sharpe teeth, thick hide "Its a fucking croc...," I blurted out just in time to see the large creature rumble behind us. It was larger than any I had ever imagined and it was extremely pissed off
"We got to move..,"

She sighed. "Maybe we would get lucky and it be a tropical bird," she said as she let out a very stiff laugh. None the less she took a second and began to move them as she could see what looked like the outline of a building in the distance as they made their way over. "Look there is a back door to a building, let's go in it." They smelled and were dirty but at least a building would be safe. Once they were in she noticed a slew of people and none of them had clothes on as she looked at him. "Dear god, it looks like that was a back entrance to a nude part of the island. Can you still feel that exotic thing or is this safe?" Calvin Dayspring

I paused and took a breath, a deep breath or two before looking for the monster.
"no, I think we are safe..," I finally muttered out, I looked up and there it was. In all its glory, tits, ass, balls and dongs everywhere. I blinked a few times, good lord some of these men where hung I almost felt embarrassed. I paused and looked at Addy
"I am not going back into that sewer..," I started before a large man whose muscles had muscled and was hung down to his knee walked out in plain sight. "I mean maybe we should just head back the way we came...,"

"This is, this never goes the way that a person is expecting," she said. She did not like nude bodies but she would take it over everything else at the moment. She let out a laugh as she heard Calvin. "It's just nakedness, and it's how we come into the world so maybe we should join them and look around a little bit. I feel like we still need to explore but it does not seem like anyone is going to do anything here so I mean once you have seen one set of anything you have seen them all right?" She was aware that they had came in different shades but still. "You don't have anything to be envious about if that is the issue," she said matter of factly. Calvin Dayspring

I sighed as my eyes scanned across the beach, there was a lot to see that was sure. I reach down and took off my shirt tossing it to the side.
"I'm not thrilled in joining, but even less thrilled in you joining the scrum..," I replied as I then began to unbutton my pants sliding them down. Once it was all off a set of girls pause for a second and glance at me. A bit of a light wave as one of the girls (a blond) speaks
"Hey, haven't seen you around here,"
One of her friend speaks, a black girl with very large breast. All the women were gorgeous and young (a total of three of them) "Why don't you come swimming with us, we can show you around..,"

"It is okay if it makes you a bit uncomfortable. I mean I am not ashamed of my body in the nude but I mean all the different bodies can sometimes make a girl a little well self conscience," she said as she laughed. "Look one day we will actually be able to look back at this and laugh everything that it seems like we are going to have to show off, well off." If you could not laugh at yourself then who could laugh at you or anything like that. "Look at that, they want you to go swimming with them, doesn't it feel good to know that you still have it after all of these years?" Calvin Dayspring

I cocked my eyes at Adelaide as she seemed un phased by the girls coming up to me. If she wasn't even the least bit jealous then why should I be right? I reach down and dropped my boxers revealing everything god gave me, the girls clapped and whistled as I did so. I smiled at Adelaide
"So why don't you join the party and maybe we can all go swimming together,”

It took her a minute as she looked around because everything still seemed so new to her. She knew that being in a place like this was not something that such a big deal should be made about but a small part of her could not help it. Still the nude stuff was a bit of a shock but as long as she had been on this island it was not the most shocking which surprised her in a way. "Sure I will join in on the party." She was trying to learn how to live life and be excited because she knew that she needed to be. She got down to her bra and panties and smiled. "Did not think to grab a swimsuit so this will have to do," she said as she got down in the water. The water was warm and calming which helped her to relax. "At least this is fun right?" she asked as she looked at Calvin. Calvin Dayspring
