((Okay...So I said it would start tomorrow...but well..I realized I might not have internet for awhile tomorrow so I thought "WTH" I'll post now xD;;; ))
Acai shifted around relentlessly in his “throne”. The gods were restless. He could tell. They were telling him to sacrifice to their precious pets…The beasts that slumbered within the depths of an ancient pyramid…or so it was said. No one of this secret, god-fearing tribe has ever entered the tomb (besides those being sacrificed of course). However, one thing was for certain. Whoever entered…Never came out.
“High Priest Acai! High Priest Acai! There are intruders! A ton of them!,” shouted a female scout.
“What!?,” responded Acai fiercly, “How do you know?! How many!?”
“Seven young foreigners and an older man - a guide I presume” replied the female…almost solemnly…The number and age alone pretty much meant certain doom for the group.
“Peerrfect,” replied Acai with a sinister grin, “Bring all of them to me…sans the guide of course..You can just kill him…” Ended Acai nonchalantly. The gods always knew how to please their pets...Very much so indeed.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Capac Cruz was a guide for the tours of Costa Rican jungle…And he was a tour guide like no other…One without a sense of direction, of course! It didn’t help that he was a native Peruvian and pretty much just moved here. They must have been desperate for guides….
Giving a deep sigh, he tried to not let his fear of the unknown get to him and to leak to the “children” he was guiding. He had heard many horror stories about this jungle. Some he’d rather not tall….All based on at least a certain amount of truth. People have been lost in the forest for eternity. No joke! And Capac was determined not to let these children fall to these ranks.
He never even heard (or saw) the dart coming until it was too late...
((NOTE: Do NOT post for your demons until the charities are "sacrificed". Also, feel free to play members of the secret village (besides Acai...Acai is played solely by me. Sowwies...) ))

Sophia joined her friends as they followed their tour guide through the Costa Rican jungle. Her abnormally white hair had a green tint to it from the sun's rays piercing the jungle's tree canopy. 'Perhaps wearing a dress on a jungle tour wasn't a good idea..' she thought to herself, trying to let the branches get caught on her white dress. She then came up with an idea. She began to dodge incoming tree branches, putting her ballerina moves to good use. She made sure not to hit or bump any of her friends while she dodged and leaped the foliage. Suddenly she saw the tour guide slump down to the ground. Unsure of what happened to him, she rushed to him. "Sir! Sir, what's wrong?"
---------------
Pauline adjusted her scarf and hair, hiding her eye and mouth under them. Her friends wondered why she would hide her face like that. Many boys complimented her on her looks, but she would deny them, saying they mistook her for something else. She was very humble like that, always denying her looks and saying how plain she was. She kept behind most of her friends, being at the very back. Paul looked around at the jungle, and how pretty it was. She did love nature and it's natural beauty. But she had to focus, trying not to lag behind her friends and get lost within the jungle.

Magnolia focused on her PSP. She had just reached a certain level on a her favorite game and she really was into in.Unfoturenaly, She wasn't paying any attention to where she was going so she got smacked in the face by a tree. Mag rubbbed her nose and and pushed herself up.
Usually, Magnolia was in tume with her surrounding,but when she strated to play her games...she was in a world of her own.
"Oh my stars! Are you alright?!" Mag's friend Carol Ann helped her up.
She waved it off,"Oh I'm fine. Da tree 'ere just caught me of guard,mon."
===========
"Are you sure?..." Carol Ann asked. She real withed Magnolia would pay attention to the world aroud her insted of going in to her video-game world.
The two ran back to the group so the would get left behind. Carol Ann looked arounf in awe; the forest was so entirly beautiful...she'd never imagine such wonders like this before. She was so into looking aroung that she didn't she a mud puddle infront of her...which she step squarely in.
"Crud." she mumbled to herself.

Zeal was in the middle of the group, his hands clutching his violin case tightly. His purple eyes darted this way and that looking at the beauty of the world around him. His heart beat faster and faster, the tempo that kept his walking pace brisk and quick. He hummed a tune he was learning on his instrument quietly, as if trying to get the colorful birds to come out of hiding.
Not really looking where he was going, the boy tripped over a root and stumbled enough that he cried out in shock. He rolled onto his back to protect his violin, his soul. From his position, he saw the dart prick the guide in the shoulder.
"Mr. Cruz!" Zeal shouted lunging to his feet. He saw cloaked people all around them as he adjusted his glasses hiding in the growth. He stood still, just stood there, staring one down. A silent threat being shared by the two.
What was to happen?

Christinia took deep, measured breaths as she stumbled after the group. She wasn't used to jungle, but she was making due. She glanced around to the others, unfortunately knowing none of them. She couldn't get any of her fellow interns to come on this trip; they'd instead gone to Africa. She was going to establish a new path for herself and her medical career. With a slight smile she looked around at the scenery. She didn't even mind the climate, barely adjusting her scarf; she was used to it, she guessed.
Her focus was pulled from her reflections when there seemed to be a commotion at the front of the group. Christinia's eyes widened to see everyone converging around the collapsed guide they'd hired ... she rushed forward almost on instinct.
"What happened?" she asked quickly when she reached them, opening her field kit at the same time. "Is he dehydrated or hurt?" The dart was blocked from her view, though she tried to shift and get a clear view of what was wrong with the poor Peruvian.

Atiya drifted along silently, eyes glued to the shifting shadows above her. "What a beautiful place" She sighed to herself. Each place she visited was beautiful in its own way it seemed. Whether it was sering hot or biting cold. There was always people there who welcomed her help. This trip had been one of her most beneficial yet she was still glad to have been able to view the lands without any pressure from her 'duties'
Sighing again Atiya began to swing her arms back and forth enjoying the feel of her sleeves brush softly against her skin. Suddenly a commotion out of the corner of her eye caught her attention. She had been walking in the front and almost tripped on the huddled form before her. A white figure hovered next to the tour guide as she quickly knelt too. The rest of the group gathered around them peering over their shoulders. A question was asked above her. "I-I'm not sure what happened. He just collasped..."
A silent chill slithered down her spine. Glancing up, Atiya noticed the shadows seeming to gather around their renegade group. Her voice barley audible, she whispered to the trees. "What's happening?"

((Umm...Just making sure you guys knew that Senor Cruz was dead...>__>...Someone can mention that in a post if ya wish ^w^.....and...please take the initiative of being Tribe members and perhaps taking out yourself (I'm thinking the Tribe members could of anesthetic darts (sleepy time dart in a nutshell xD)...and then we can just cut to the bringing of the virtues to Acai..and thus, the "sacrificing" can happen :>.).That is all...I'd do more...but I feel pretty sick right now ^^;.....Sorry, guys...I'll be more active once Acai and the sacrificing occurs of course ^w^ ))

"Guys," Zeal whimpered, "I think we are in big trouble." He pointed at one of the hidden warriors. Noticing that the pale boy's finger was directed at him, the warrior stepped slightly into the open. Ralla was not going to loose his prey this time. He filled his dart gun and took aim.
"Guys!" Zeal shouted, "We are under atta.... ACK!" A thin, needle-like dart stuck oddly out of his neck. Zeal pulled it out and glared at the small thing. Suddenly, the small needle became two. Then three. With a moan, Zeal lurched forward and fell to his knees.
"Guys," he blubbered slamming face first into the case that held his violin.
"we have been found!" Ralla called out to his fellow warriors, "Put the pale children to sleep! then to Acai!" He refilled his dart gun and took aim as he started towards the frightened group.

Sophia saw her friend Zeal slump to the ground, sobbing with needle-like darts in his neck. "Guys! Zeal-" Before she could answer, she too was shot at with needles and she slumped to the ground. Her vision started to get fuzzy as she faded in and out of consciousness. "G-Guys...." After falling to the ground, she blacked out. Pauline felt a pinching sensation in her neck as she saw her friends falling to the ground. Her vision also began to fade and soon she fell to the ground, her face hitting the soft ground.
When all of group was sedated, the warriors emerged from their hiding places. The walked up to the group, poking and prodding them to make sure they were out. Once they were sure they were out cold, the warriors took the tourists to their village, where their fate resided with their tribal leader Acai.

Nina tried to lean around people to see Capac, fruitlessly of course. She didn't know what was going on, until someone else nearby collapsed. She looked around wide-eyed, noticing finally the tribesmen surrounding the group. "Ay, dios," she cried in surprise. "Who--" she started to ask, before her words died into a squeak of pain when a dart pricked her neck. She pulled it out and stared in shock at it, before being hit by two more. She stumbled and fell to her knees just as someone yelled that they were under attack. "M-mierda ..." she managed to murmur before falling on her side, her medical kit under her. It was a matter of seconds for her to succumb to the tranquilizer.

Absentmindedly Atiya swiped at a bee which had stung her only to find no insect. A small dart protruding from the back of her neck met her searching fingers. With a small hiss she pulled it free of flesh staring in wonder again at the trees. She hardly felt the next dart, the formers effect drifting through her body. Only her hazed mind picked up images of the others laying around her before her body succumbed to sleep.
A dark form separated itself from the trees. Cloak pulled low over his eyes he surveyed the prone bodies. What a pitiful sight, he thought to himself slipping his dart gun away. But that doesn't matter now. Exhaling roughly he knelt next to the first body he could and hefted it up to hang over his shoulder. Quite like a sack of potatoes he thought but again that didn't matter. Nothing else did. Soon 'They' would be appeased. An evil grin spread slowly across his face. With a turn of a heel the shadow merged once more with the surrounding trees, this time with a simple blond in tow.

Carol Ann gasped as her friends began to drop like flies. Someone was taking them out one by one. She was able to dogde one of the darts but was hit in the arm by another; she remembered Magnolia screaming her name and a dark figure taking aim before her vison blurred and blacked.
===
"Carol Ann!!!" Magnolia screamed as she rushed to her childhood friend. The Jamecan was in complete and utter shock. Who was sick enought to do such a dirty deed? Who ever the malnevolent being was made sure to keep their idenity a secret; she didn't even hear the dart that logde itself within her lower neck. She quickly yanked into,but it had already taking full effect. Her vison became clouded but not before she saw blurry figure appearing from the forest taking each of her companions away. Magnolia swayed slightly and fell to the forest floor; she was out before she hit the ground though.

Ralla and his handful of scouts steped free of the brush. He motioned for the younger, knocked out foreigners to be readied for transport. He watched as all the children were hefted up and carried off with the exception of the dead guide and one girl with long hair. (Atiya) He took out his blade and beheaded the guide to make sure he was dead and never to wake. He hoisted up the last of the children with a sigh. They were too young to understand how the world went on. And now they were to be sacrificed to the hungry beasts that the tribe he called family kept hidden from the world. The sins of his people to be appeased by sin.
With a shake of his head, he jogged after the others deep into the jungle and to Acai to see what was to be done. Though he seemed to already know.
(Ronnie? Your turn? Maybe?)

Acai was fiddling idly with a random human skull when he heard a commotion. Getting up from his “throne” (composed of bones by the way…), he left his sacred hut only to see his scouts had returned with the sacrifices. A sinister grin danced across his lips. “Perfect! They’re quite young too! Maybe they’ll last longer…”
With that said he went to approach his “disciples”. Clearing his throat loudly, he eventually got all their attention.
“My grateful followers…The time has come…Let us begin the ceremony.”
~~Many drum beats, body painting, blessings, and songs later, the unconscious children were taken to the pyramid. Each child was placed in front of a different. “door”. After more chanting and songs, the doors were opened (the doors were smallish by the way) to reveal a slide-like tunnel down to black abyss. Each child was sent down their respective slide. Only hell was a worse fate.~~
((Ok...I was thinking each virtue would wake up in a foreign surrounding...before the Sins actually game in >__>....For exampe. "Blah woke up to see yadda yadda when booming voices and thundering vibrations interrupted his/her thoughts....etc..etc...))

((~bleeeeeaaaaaah~ I'll post first then. ))
Mammon stalked the hall, his servants Gold and Silver at his side. He heard the doorways open and an evil smile washed across his face. His thick bushy tail wagged feircly behind him.
"They are here. Go fetch me the best," he commanded the two, almost identical, shining figures. With a nod, his mis-matched patchwork skin faded into a dark shadow as he retreated to his room.
Silver sighed. More kids would die. Just like he did years ago. Even in death, Mammon would not let his prizes go. Silver, once known as Alastar, looked at his large metal hands with a forlorn sigh. These hands will drag another person to their death.
"Come," he beckoned Gold as they raced through the larger-than-life stone tunnels and into the darkness.
-------------------------------------------
Zeal woke with a groan. He rubbed his slightly swollen shoulder as he rose to his feet. To his relief, his violin was still in his hands. Whoever captured them had not taken it. He looked around the damp, dark hall in dismay. He couldn't see much of anything.
"Hello?" the boy shouted, his voice hoarse and scratchy. He pushed his glasses back up his nose, the ear cuffs that kept it to his face were cracked now, and stumbled along. Not hearing a sound, not even the wind, he began to softly weep. Dragging free his beloved wooden instrument, he weaved a song more sad than angel's crying in the silent air. He stood, playing with all his heart, waiting for someone to find him.
-------------------------------
Gula finished trying his metal mask to his face, he didn't want his hunger to win over him. Just yet anyways. More "sinners" would be sent to them this day. He could smell them. His hooves clacked loudly against the stone as he moved to the doorway of his quarters. The tunnel sending the humans down to their depths was not far from his room. All the beast had to do to catch a human was to wait. And so he did.

Sophia slowly lifted her head slowly, somewhat drowsy from the dart and achey from the fall. She looked around, trying to see her friends or anyone, but could only see dark, dimly hit hallway. The dim light made Soph's white hair seem to glow. She slowly stood up and attempted to find her friends in this strange place they were sent to. Though dimly lit by small torches, Sophia could hardly see. Waving her hands around, she managed to find the cold stone wall. Using it as a guide, she moved along the enormous hallway to search for her friends. "H-Hello? Is there anyone there?" she called out, hoping someone would answer back.
-------------
Belphegor slept, resting his torso on a huge rock while his snake tail wrapped around it. Suddenly he heard something he hadn't heard in a while: the doors that were used for their sacrifices. His third eye opened slightly, lazily looking around. He sighed. "Such a pain...." he murmured o himself. 'More sacrifices.... how troublesome....' he thought as he uncoiled his tail around the rock and left his quarters, off to find his "tribute."
As he slithered along, he heard something odd. It sounded like... music. Listening carefully, it sounded sad. Being the Sin of Sloth, a giant serpentine demon, the music resonated in his dark heart. Why was it doing that? He had to find out. Belphegor, listening to the sorrowful music, slithered towards its source. Closer and closer he got, the music steadily grew louder. When the music was coming from in front of him, he focused his third eye to help him see in the darkness. As his eye adjusted, he saw a small form before him. A human, very young looking human with blonde hair. He slithered closer to the human, his new tribute.
--------------
Pauline wandered the enormous dark hallway, trying to find her friends. She had no idea what had happened or where she was. Unable to see in the darkness, she used the walls to help guide her to find her friends. "Zeal? Atiya? Sophia? Where are you?" she called out, hoping her friends would answer her cries. No one answered. But she was determined to get a response back. She kept calling out her friends' names, praying that one of them will answer her.

((Soooorrrrrryyyy!!!!!! I love you!))
Without opening her eyes Atiya shifted into a more comfortable position. Not that comfortable in any way described the damp, cold stone pressing back against her cheek but at least her arm was no longer twisted beneath her ribs. Her mind skimmed over what she could remember. Anything to explain her current circumstances, but the only thing she could come up with was a image of the forest canopy and a faint feeling of panic right before the world went black. A small hiss escaped clenched teeth as Atiya slowly pushed herself upward on aching arms. Another one born of panic followed the first as opened eyes revealed only blackness. Dread overtook her before realizing that the absence of image input was nearly due to the lack of light and not of her actual sight. She extended her arm gently seeking a wall or at least something to prop up her tired body. At the end of her reach rough stone met seeking finger tips. It wasn't pleasant to the touch but it did the job in holding her vertical.
"Hello?" Vocal cords raw from being neglected cracked the simple word in two. Clearing her throat she tried once more. "Is anybody there?" The wall of blackness before her seemed to shift, turning a hazy gray. She squinted trying to make something out of the nothing in front of her before coming to the conclusion that the illusion before her must be caused by something behind her. Atiya wasn't able to act on her suspicion and turn around, for her world once again slid into blankness at the command of a single firm blow to the head.
Sovann, or Gold as he was now and forever know as, stood beside his master. He tried not to think as he and his companion Silver received their orders to go after the unlucky human. Long ago he had been a human too. But the memories of that time seemed to fade with each year left behind. Now as he followed Silver down the seemingly never ending tunnel his mind blocked all thoughts except the one to obey. He stopped only long enough to release the single torch among the maze of passages. His master dwelt in darkness, so such harsh light was forbidden in his sanctuary. Continuing forward they eventually came upon their objective. The sacrifice. Small of stature, the girl clung to the wall, a ring of gold adorning her head. A small voice penetrated the air.
"Is anybody there?" Gold tilted his head at the feeble cry but the next instant shrugged it off and handed the torch to Silver.
"Here we go." He mumbled before dashing up to the girl. With a single solid blow to the back of her head she was out like a light. The weight of the human hardly even registered to him as he scooped her up into his arms. He returned to Silver and gave a curt nod. Now it was time to present her to their master.
