And so as the meteor approaches, chaos has broken out across the land. Gangs have formed en masse, and theivery has become second nature to the people. Still there are others on Earth who strive to do what they've always wanted to do. Traveling, skydiving, hunting there are thousands of people of all ages and races out fulfilling their dreams from since they were young. All sorts intend to finish their "To Do" list before the don't have any more time left. That concludes todays broadcast on the public, back to you Jim.
Thanks Ted, now for the wea...
Matthew turned of the T.V. and threw down the remote. "Hmph!" That's what I'm gonna do. I'll go out and do whatever I want. The world is ending. Why not have some fun?
He walked out of his appartment and looked down on Central Park, New York. The people were all over, scattering and rushing to where they needed to be. "Heh, poor humans. They just don't know how to relax do they?" He jumped down from the second floor, disregarding the public for the first time. He walked out into the street with a broad smile on his face.

But in the process of disregarding the public, he failed to look underneath him, and promptly landed on a pink-haired girl, knocking her to the ground. "Hey!" she complained from her pinned position. "Watch where you're landing, buster! You could hurt someone!"

"Hmph! Who do you think you are? You should be thankful I only landed on you." He sat down on her back and leaned in to see her face. Not bad. Not bad at all. "And "buster"? What decade are you from?"

Her scowl deepened. "Would you rather I called you dick head?" And she bucked her back, throwing him off of her before standing and dusting herself off. "What planet are you from? I should be thankful you landed on me? Is it supposed to be some sort of honor?"

"Hey Sho, do you want to get some-"
"Yeah. And maybe it will be empty and we can have it all."
"Yay, but do you remember last-"
"Yes Kop, I do, but this time we will be able to control it."
" I sure hope we can Sho, because we don't need to make New York the next Atla-"
"Yeah that would be real bad. Real bad."
And so the two children walked peacefully through the mass of terrified civilians. Their heads, a blob of green and one purple, could be seen bobbing up and down as the slid easily though the crowd, no one paying them much attention.
They had been previously positioned in front of a television store, watching the news, and for the first time since happening upon this planet, they knew what was going on. They had been her before, but in alternate realities, and all that mambo jambo, but Shoka was the only one of the two who could actually grasp the understanding of the knowledge, while Kopa got the gist of it.
And so on they walked, past the screaming children left alone to wander, the pleasure fiends that now haunted the day, the suicides who brought their own end, and the arguers who became easily agitated at the glimmer of an oncoming fight. They were determined on the goal.
They rounded the corner and saw it, their destination. The broke out in a run, Kopa bumping into a pink-haired girl who had recently been sat on by a man.
"Sorry pink lady!" He called out as he ran into the building a few yards away.
The building was small and comfy, fit for children too. It was clean and the doors were surprisingly already open, light turned on, and looked as if other children had already found this area, though only three or four at max, for not much was taken.
Outside hung a sign:
Max's Candy & Coffee
Though the two seemed an unlikely mix, Max was one wealthy man, his idea of coffee with candy made getting hyped up in the early morning or late at night, all the more easier.

"Ehehehe, she called you 'dick head'", said Dakura as he appeared from the side of the building where the sun was hidden, staying half covered, so he was still high up.
He then began to look around for something, ".......Ah, theres one.....and a nice shiny head too!" He uncovered a bow and arrow, though the arrow had a suction cup instead of a point, which he had easily stolen from a toy store that had been overrun by frantic screaming people.
He caught the arrow on fire using his black fire breath, readied it, and aimed it at a fat man with a bald head wearing a red T-shirt and genes while running franticly across the sidewalk across the street.
Trying to get his attention, he shouts, "GET IT WHILE YOU CAN, ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET!"
"*GASP* At a time like this, it HAS to be free!" as he looks over to where Dakura was shouting.
Dakura releases the arrow, and makes perfect aim, suctioning it right in the middle of his fore-head. The fat man shrieks as he notices his forehead is on fire, "NAaAaAH, PUT IT OUT PUT IT OUT PUT IT OUT!!!!" he starts running so fast that he was trampling over people without even realizing it. He continued running until he disappeared into the horizon.
"AAHAHAHAhahaha, hehehe, funny stuff, that's some funny stuff!" He continued to laugh until he couldn't breathe, while falling from the shadows to the floor in the process.
"*Smiling but heavily breathing*, Now I'm....curious.....why...is this....strange...man.....sitting...on top....of this.......odd......pink-haired......woman?" As he picks himself up from the floor, trying to catch his breath. He was looking at the two people with his head slightly tilted to the left, and one raised eye-brow.

"Honestly," Star complained as the kids stormed past her. "One little space rock, and everyone loses all sense of manners." When Dakura showed up, she looked up at him, originally smirking at the suction cup arrow, then scowling as he caught it on fire. A quick, small blast of energy erupting from her fingertip shot through the middle of the toy arrow, causing it to fall impotently to the ground.
"I just know I'm going to be busy today ..."

"Doing what? upholding the law?.....Why?" Dakura asks while lighting fire to another suction cup arrow while looking for someone else to aim for.
"....anywhome, who might you be....and what's with the gigantically huge wart on your back?" referring to Matthew.

(She got out from under him several posts ago, Nightmare.)
She levitated up to the dark being's level so he could better see her scowl. "I for one don't intend to let crazed psychopaths shoot people with fire arrows simply because he can. Contrary to popular belief, there is still an appropriate way to act and an inappropriate way to act."

"Yes, she is right." Mat spoke from a wall they were close to. He was sticking to it by his feet. "It's just more fun to do the opposite, as long as it's harmless." He uncrossed his arms and pointed at Star with a smile. "By the way feel free to call me dick head. you wouldn't be the first and you certainly won't be the last. However if you prefer to call me by my proper name, it is Matthew. What's yours?"Asking them both a the same time.

"Star," she answered sourly before turning back to Dakura.

Putting down his bow and arrow to greet himself, "Dakura, my fine ghastly friend!" , he said as he threw the burning arrow to the side. "anyway, if you must be reminded, it COULD be the last time someone calls you 'dick head', seeing as the world will probably end." he spake to Mat, "Now I can understand stopping people from going on a killing spree, but really, some of these people just want to go through their check list before they die........Shouldn't you be respectful for some of these peoples final wishes?"
Looks over to Star," And by the way, I shot a burning suction cup just to see how someone would react to it, not burn them alive. Lighten up! Don't you want to do something special you couldn't normally do before?"

"There's nothing I can do now that I haven't always been able to do," Star answered, "and the world isn't going to end, even if the meteor does strike."

[that wasn't needed, your character wouldn't know that for sure.]
"Yes that may be true, but there must be certain things your inhibition wouldn't let you do before. Since the world is ending, do those things to your heart's content." He flipped down to join them on the ground. "Besides, he is right. You need to lighten up."

(Her conclusion has nothing to do with the facts of the RP. It's based on religious faith.)
"The world isn't ending," she repeated. "Even if this big rock is the way God decides to wipe it clean this time, our souls are eternal and we will still have to answer for our behavior."
