The crystal sceptre (Mature, open to all)

[mappy]

A flawless fist sized blue diamond, platinum and gold crafted fine jewellery, rare jems. All theses seems very valuable and precious, highly desirable and priceless. There is one catch. They are cursed.

Since the dark ages, this set of jewellery is owned by royalty, kings and emperors, and over night, whole civilization would turn amongst themselves, or befall some plague, wiping them out.

In the year 1476, a rich noble merchant got his hands on these rare items through a fence. He paid much money for the finest craftsman to make him a crystal sceptre and some jewellery. During that time, there was great misfortunes in town, diseases spread in town unknown to doctors, earthquake and floods happened regularly. Furthermore, in the process of making, many craftsmen were murdered, as rumors that the craftsman argued and fought over the design, so aggressively that some got killed. It took the merchant 3 years before he got the crystal sceptre. Overnight, his family was murdered as thieves came in and stole it from him.

The authorities managed to catch the thieves, and recovered the crystal sceptre, but the guard guarding the sceptre too murdered other guards and escaped with the sceptre.

From time to time, the sceptre would emerge and many would emerge in the black market and many deaths and natural catastrophies or man made disasters would follow.

In 2004, the crystal sceptre appeared in Thailand. Some smugglers brought it there to sell to a rich tycoon. During the transaction, there was an arguement, the smugglers killed everyone and fled. Two days later, the police managed to trace them down and recovered the sceptre and jewellery. Soon after the recovery, there was a huge tsunami, drowning all the smugglers.

The information on the recovery was also lost in the tsunami. But few months later, some aid organization came to the island in thailand and found the crystal sceptre. As gratitute to the aid provided, the sceptre was given to the London Museum.

During the transport, the plane was hijacked and it crashed in Israel. Some thieves recovered the crystal sceptre but died in a car accident. The sceptre was recovered and returned to London.

Two days after reaching England, robbers hijacked the shipment, killing 30 armed guards and policemen. While escaping, the robbers got on a bus and totally lost the police. Little did they know that there was a terrorist attack in London, and the bus carrying all the armed robbers exploded and the police recovered the crystal sceptre.

Now the crystal sceptre is ready to be on display in the museum. The media was quick to advertise the crystal sceptre and priceless jewellery, and for the first time, it would be on display for the public. Many professional robbers got their eyes on the crystal sceptre as it would worth billions in the hands of a collector.

July 2005. Night.
As the guards are making their final rounds preparing for the big opening day of the display, something was amiss. Some new shipment arrived at the museum. 4 beautiful couriers chatted with the curator and guards about the shipment when suddenly the girls spring into action. Two girls want behind two guards and snapped their necks. The other two girls shoved the base of their palms into two guard's noses, shoving the bone fragments into their brains, killing them instantly. The remaining guards reached for their guns, but two of the got their necks snapped from behind, while the other two were disarmed, and their throats crushed with chops to the neck. The last remaining old guard surrendered, but the one of the ladies jumped on his shoulders and crushed his neck with her thighs. Within seconds, all the guards were taken care of.

The curator was shocked and was taken hostage. The ladies seemed to know the museum very well as they quickly took out all the museum guards in the camera room. The ladies went back to the van and several men came out, they stripped the dead guards and put on their uniforms.

The invaders were well trained and deadly. The museum guards had no chance at all against these professionals. They were taken out one by one systematically.

The invaders had a flawless plan, taking out all the guards and disguising as the guards. But they did not know about the new silent alarm for the crystal sceptre display. As they removed it, they triggered the alarm.

Two patrolmen in the area responded to the silent alarm. They went to the museum and were greeted by the museum guards. The guards responded that it was just a malfunction and invited the cops in. Once the doors close behind them, the guards introduces the cops to their knives.

OOC:
The crystal sceptre is cursed. No one knows what the curse is but still everyone wants it. You can play a cop, a collector, a professional robber, occult student, whoever you like.

There are however some rules of what you cannot be. You cannot be anything supernatural, i.e. no vampires, no demons, half-angels, etc.

The important thing is to have fun!

Rain sighed as she leaned back on her chair. Looking up at the 3 men she thought for a while. Then she finaly spoke up "I don't know.... The crystal is said to be cursed"

The man in the black leather jacket rolloed his eyes, "Oh please. That's just a stupid gossip to keep the robbers away"

"Well I'm not going to make a stupid move or anything for that Crystal. You can find another hacker to do your work"

"Ah hell... They all suck."

"Your point?"

"YOu are suppose to be a professional hacker. The other kids don't know crap. They always get cought and stuff."

"Not my problem. And besides... what you are offering is not going to pay for my work. Being a hacker isn't the easyest thing in the world"

"Well just think about it. See ya later" The three men walked out of the door.

Shaking her head Rain picked up the phone and Dialed 911. The phone ringed once before a woman's voice answered "Police department what is the emergency?"

"Hello. I'm calling for 3 robbers planning to steal the Crystal Sceptre."

"Rain?" The woman sighed "Don't worry the police are coming. You need to start getting them yourself"

"Hey... they had guns. And there are three of them. Plus I left my gun when someone took it again"

"Crap... I'll have to see you later. 3 calls just came in. Bye Rain"

"Good bye Jenn" Rain smiled and hanged up the phone. She got up and streachted her arms in the air. It had been a long day. She couldn't wait to get back home and take a shower.

Before leaving Rain got her keys and stepped outside. She started walking threw the alley ways to her appartment.

Occupation: Veteran Patrolman (Bobby)

Bob is patroling outside the museum when he sees two beautiful ladies outside the rear exit. As they looked like tourists, Bob approached them and see if he can be of any assistance.

"Hello ladies, need any assistance?" Bob greets them.

"We seem to be lost, can you help us?" A lady asks Bob as they approach him.

The ladies led Bob to a lamp post between two vans and brought out a map. As Bob looked at the map, a hand comes from behind him and covers his mouth. It is followed by a sharp punch to his lower back and Bob is dragged into the van. Bob is quicked subdued and gagged.

The ladies exited the van leaving Bob inside...

Appreance:look at profile.


Jim has got a new job as a patrol officer.As he was doing his rounds he saw two ladies throw someone in their van and walked off.As the women walked away Jim grabbed his radio. "I need some assistance someone has been thrown into a van." Jim got out of his car and ran towards the van and tried to open the door. "Hello are you ok." The door was locked. "Don't worry I'll get you out." Where is my back up Jim thought.

[mappy]

The police has lost contact with some of their partolmen near the museum. A police supervisor decides to check up with the museum guards.

Approaching the museum, the supervisor, a sergeant along with 3 junior officers walks up to the guard post past 2 beautiful ladies. The supervisor walks up to the guard and asks, "Did anything funny happen here? Did you see any patrolmen come by?"

Just then, he hears a radio for assistance. He turns and sees an officer on the ground and 2 kicking in the air as they are strangled from behind by the ladies. A wire loops around his neck and suddenly he is lifted off the ground. All the patrolmen are dragged into the museum.

"The cops are on to us." A lady whispers in the radio. "We need to go now!"

Just the a police car pulls up to the museum guard post. 2 cops rush out and inform the guard. "Sound the alarm, something is going on, check your exits, you may be ..... ack...." The ladies sneaks up behind the 2 cops, covers their mouths and snaps their necks.

The robbers emerge from the building enters their cars and start the engine.

"Its time to roll!"

[mainman]

"Hello are you ok." A voice from outside the van echos in. "Don't worry I'll get you out."

Bob struggles to get free, but he is gagged and handcuffed from behind. Bob tries to make noises by banging on the floor of the van to let the person outside know that he is alive.

At least, there is someone outside going to save him. After struggling for a while, Bob is out of breadth, and gives up. For he knows help is on the way.

[ZachAttack]

Jim pulled out his gun and hit the windw with it.........CRASH!!!! Jim unlocked the doors and saw a patrol man gagged and tied up.As Jim untied the cop he asked. "What happened to you."

[mappy]

As the robbers speed off, 2 police cars arrive and block their way. The ladies started to manuever behind the police as the others in the car prepare for a gun fight.

The cops exited their vehicle and hid behind their cars, "This is the police, drop your weapons and surrender." As he finishes his sentence, a hand grabs his head backwards and a dagger slits across his throat. His partner reaches for his gun as a pair of hands grabs his face and snaps his neck.

The ladies then walks behind the other two policemen behind their car. As they turn around, the ladies emptied the guns at them, killing both cops.

The ladies got into the car, but suddenly car's engine died. The other robber's car seemed to have ignition problems too.

The sirens come closer and the lights approaches. The robbers exits their car and enters the police cars and tries to flee, but the find themselves surrounded by police.

[mainman]

Bob was untied. "What happened to you." Bob replied, "I was jumped by 2 ladies, they were really pros."

"Thanks a lot, here comes the cavalry!" Bob says, pointing at the cop cars arriving. "What's your name?"

[ZachAttack]

My name is Jim and what is yours.Then Jim saw the Other cops. "Finally the backup comes." "Now we should find those Lady attackers." "Hey do you have a firearm with you because I think we need it."

[mappy]

The robbers were surrounded. They had no choice but to give up.

The robbers were cuffed and placed in custody. The sceptre was kept by the police as evidence.

On the way to the police station for processing, the ladies used a spare cuff key in their belts to open the cuffs behind them. The 2 patrolmen at the back of the paddywagon seemed to be bored and generally uninterested. The other paddywagon with the rest of the robbers are following behind. The other robbers too have removed their cuffs.

Just as they were about to jump the cops, a fuel truck on the other side of the road blows a tire and the whole rear swings out, barely missing the first paddywagon, but hitting the second one and bursting into flames. The ladies were shocked but as professionals, they kept their cool. As the patrolmen looked out of the rear window, the ladies grabbed 2 patrolmen's necks and snapped it easily. The last officer in the van reached for his gun but he was disarmed and the ladies used the gun against the driver forcing him to stop the vehicle.

The ladies knew that the sceptre was in the front of the vehicle and they could smell freedom and victory, but they did not realize that as the cop infront was distracted by the ladies with their hostage situation behind, he lost control of the paddy wagon and drove off the road into a ravine. The sceptre's curse was indeed potent.

OOC: Feel free to continue with the story anyway you want.. My description of this part of the background has ended.

[mainman]

"Hey Jim, I'm Robert, but you can call me Bob." Bob replies as he checks for his firearm. "My gun is not with me... They must have taken it."

Soon after, many police cars came and the police have the robbers surrounded. After a short standoff, the robbers and the ladies surrended. It was quite unexpected, but it much better than a bloody gunfight.

"I guess I have to thank you and our job is done." Bob smiles. "Well we've got them... So wanna go for some coffee?

[ZachAttack]

As Jim saw the ladies surrender he sighed in relief. "Thank god." Then Bob asked if I wanted coffe. "Sounds like a good Idea." Jim said as he got in his car waiting for Bob to get in. "Cmon Bob let's go."

[mainman]

Bob gets into Jim's car. On the police radio, there are reports on the prisoners crashing into the ravine. Bob shrugs and turns off the police radio. "I guess it sucks to be them... I think I'll take a break after a long day's work."

"Can you believe the robbers nowadays, they come in all shapes and sizes. I got attacked by 2 small normal looking ladies!" Bob complains. "Thanks for saving me."

[ZachAttack]

"Hey Bob don't get all worked up about a couple of ladies kicking your A** HA HA." "Don't mention it Bob I'm just doing my job." Jim started tp drive to Starbucks. "I heard that they had good coffee." Jim pulled up and stopped the car and Bob and Jim went in. "Wow this is nice huh Bob." Jim walked up to the counter. "So Bob what you want?"

[mainman]

"I'll have a mocha grande" Bob says.

Bob goes to an empty and takes a seat. As he is waiting for his drink, he watches the man's notebook on the opposite table playing some local news. 'Fancy toys..' He thinks to himself. On the news, there were scenes of a familiar police transport that crashed.

Bob was disturbed, but otherwise not really interested as he had a pretty tough night. Bob waits for his mocha and Jim to come.

"So what do you think those thieves were after?" Bob asks Jim.

[ZachAttack]

Jim gave Bob his drink. "I don't know what they were after but it was probably important." Jim started to drink his coffee and wonder what happened to those ladies. "So Bob what did those ladies look like?"
