Cyrus Storm's Journal

Mushroom Hunt

City boy meets the Wild West

     Waking up on a bus in the middle of nowhere watching tumbleweed roll by was not what Cyrus expected when agreeing to take on his first contract. But that in fact was the reality of his situation. He woke up on a bus with two complete strangers pulling into a "one horse town" and no real idea of what he was in for. Fortunately for these three strangers, they found a note detailing the requirements for contract completion and then stepped off the bus. Ruka, the color blind creator took the first step in investigating the town and only proved to Cyrus just how small town and small minded the folks of Rachel are, as everyone was nervous or afraid of Ruka's abnomal physical appearance. The other member of this unlikely trio was even stranger, seemingly not even human at all. Nearly robotic in nature, he was calculating in his approach to the mission and Cyrus could respect that as he himself likes to get totally dialed in when working a job. After a brief investigation of the very small rural town, the group set to task to complete our mission with desires to get home as quickly as we could. Methodically working the problem, the trio found what they had came for and then preceeded to handle the cause and eventually eliminated any further threat to the local populous. Feeling thoroughly confident in the groups victory, they headed to the rendevous point and finalized the contract. Thrilled to be home and yet exhilerated from completing his first contract, Cyrus set out to take on the town and find his next prize.

Downtime

"Meanwhile, Back From The Ranch"

     After returming from dustbowl Neveda, thrilled with his victory, Cyrus felt a surge of power come over him. After some time licking his wounds and reliving his first contract, he thought about how the next contract would be easier, better and bring more power. While setting out to find the next pretty necklace to steal, he began to realize the potential this new found power was giving him. Gaining access to places was becoming easier. Opening doors, locks and even safes was becoming as easy as a wave of his hand. He felt this power growing inside him and invested many hours honing his new found power and bettering his burglary skills. Always and even more so now with his ever growing confidence, he set out on the town to perfect his social skills as well. He practiced working every crowd he could find, he focused on new techniques and learned how to manipulate new and different "types" of people. He had usually stuck to the pretty ladies, but with his new power and confidence he realized that he could pull the strings of many people that he met. Cyrus took this opportunity between contracts to investigate and find new targets in new venues to satisfy his need to be the best jewel thief in the world. But he needed more power. The thirst for it grew strong in his gut. It ravaged his mind daily as he anxiously waited for that next phone call, chance meeting or deliberate contact. He needed that meeting! He desires more power!
